Clodfelter among Cole victims remembered

KENNETH EUGENE CLODFELTER

(Editor’s note: The following was written by Rick Burke with the Navy Office of Community Outreach.)

NORFOLK – A remembrance ceremony was conducted on Monday, Oct. 12, at Naval Station Norfolk, commemorating the 20-year anniversary of the terrorist attack on the USS Cole. The ceremony honored the 17 shipmates, including Lee-Davis High School graduate Kenneth Eugene Clodfelter, who were killed in the attack and honor those crewmembers that fought to save

the ship.

Clodfelter served as a hull maintenance technician 2nd class. A native of Aurora, Colorado, he was one of the 17 sailors killed serving aboard USS Cole, a guided-missile destroyer with the nickname “Determined Warrior,” that was bombed in a suicide attack while being refueled in Yemen’s Aden harbor.

The attack was attributed to al-Qaeda suicide bombers, who sailed a small boat near the destroyer and detonated explosive charges. The blast created a

hole in the port side of the ship about 40 feet (12 m) in diameter, killing 17 crew members and injuring 37. Sailors courageously fought fires and flooding for the following 96 hours to keep the ship afloat.

Clodfelter was born on Dec. 26, 1978, to John and Gloria Clodfelter, and enlisted in the U.S. Navy on June 25, 1997.

Clodfelter attended Basic Training and Hull Maintenance Technician “A” and “C” schools in Great Lakes, Illinois,

and reported to USS Cole (DDG 67) on March 27, 1998.

During the ceremony, a 21-gun salute was fired and taps played to honor and celebrate the fallen service members. A ceremonial wreath, made

by Cole Sailors, was dedicated on the port side of the ship in memory of the Cole Heroes. The ceremony ended with a tolling of a bell and reading of the names of the 17 heroes whose lives see COLE, pg. 12

MECHANICSVILLE – Helene Ruiz takes to the canvas when she is either inspired or filled with emotion. With the “Roaring 20s”, she found an outlet to express herself during what has been one of the most unusual years on a national and global scale.

“This painting is in response to just a couple of the horrific events since 2020 began,” she said.

“In this painting, I am trying to pay tribute to the many lives unjustly taken because of ignorance, hate based on stereotypes and skin color, and also as a tribute to the many health care workers that lost their lives due to being there trying to help save our lives and ended up catching COVID-19 during this terrible poorly handled pandemic, which should never have been so catastrophic in a country such as ours, the USA, a country the entire world looks up to and wants to run to, now one we probably want to run from,” she said.

Helene decided to gather “the names of all the health care workers and doctors and nurses that died from contracting COVID-19 while trying to save lives and from committing suicide due to the trauma and stress and depression of dealing with seeing so many deaths and illnesses with little equipment.”

She also said she was shocked by the “lack of interest by our government … a First World country such as ours.”

As she continued to pursue more information, she researched the names of “all the people of color who unjustly lost their lives since just the beginning of 2020, and it is unbelievable to know how many lives have been lost by unjust deaths at the hands of those who are supposed to protect us.”

She noted that she did not mean “any disrespect or lack of acknowledgement to anybody whose names there was no room for me to fit in this painting.”

However, as she was researching, she would see ARTIST, pg. 9

Rabies vaccination clinic slated Oct. 31 We Have It All ASHLAND -- All dogs and cats (including so-called “barn cats”) are required by law to be vaccinated for rabies at 4 months of age. For dogs, you also must have tags and a valid license proving the vaccination.

Hanover Animal Control makes it easy for people to get their pets vaccinated by holding rabies vaccination clinics in the fall and winter. Vaccines will be administered at a cost of $8 per dog or cat.

The first clinic of this fall/winter season will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Oct. 31, in the parking lot at Patrick Henry High School. The veterinarian is Dr. Scott Nevaiser. This will be a drive-thru type clinic, with the owners and the animals remaining inside the vehicles.

The veterinarian will administer the shots at your vehicle. Only healthy, nonpregnant animals will be vaccinated and

Metro Creative Connection

only dogs and cats (no wolves or wolfhybrids). You will be expected to leave the vaccination area as soon as you are done.

Put the rabies tags on pet's collar and keep certifications for proof of vaccination.

The vaccination is good for up to three years unless the pet has never had a rabies

vaccination before, in which case it is good for one year. Put the rabies tag on the dog’s collar and keep certificates for proof of vaccination.

Patrick Henry High School is located at 12449 W. Patrick Henry Road in Ashland.

Officials with Hanover County Animal Control said they hope to have another rabies vaccination clinic on Dec. 12 at a location yet to be announced; further details on that clinic will be announced at a future time.

A third rabies prevention clinic for this season is expected to be held on Feb. 6, 2021, at the East Hanover Rescue Squad.

For more information about rabies or the upcoming rabies vaccination clinics in Hanover County, call Animal Control at 804-365-6485.

OPINION | The Local Views From the managing editor

LETTERS

Before judging, consider circumstances

| Reader Views

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor er appearance seemingly out of nowhere caught my attention quickly as Mom exited the vehicle to briefly go into a shop. I was ready to sling open the driver’s side door in the event she approached my mother. These are the times that I forget how painful arthritic knees that also suffered a powerful fall five years ago can be on this old girl.

Regardless, Mom is and always will be the priority. I was prepared to pounce. But, as a guy from my long ago past always said, I jump to conclusions. Yes, still guilty.

Anyway, the woman stood back until Mom

H

had entered the business. She then headed toward my side of the vehicle. I noticed that she was drenched in sweat as I rolled down the window to ask if I could help her.

She started sharing her story of financial losses and needs for her children. I told her I didn’t need to hear anymore and reached into my purse to get her some money. She thanked me profusely; my only reply was “God loves you.”

And, just as she had appeared, she was gone.

I didn’t see her walk toward any kind of mode of transportation, which left me wondering what kind of encounter I had experienced.

My hope was that she did use the cash for her family. I realize many are struggling in unimagi-

nable ways due to COVID-19. I’ve been in the payday to payday category -- mostly because I knew I always had backup financial assistance from my family.

It’s heartbreaking to think about those who are in need and face decisions about what bills are paid, which medications are refilled, and how much food is affordable.

If you can help, please do so -- whether it’s through your church or local food pantries. There are non-profits working diligently to provide as much aid as possible. Let’s make their jobs easier.

Through teary eyes, I offer a plea to those who can ease the weight of others to help. We never know another’s circumstances.

What will first presidential debate mean to future?

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist A man much smarter than me once provided me with a tidbit of wisdom that lived in my mind long after his years on this earth had passed.

To paraphrase, he told me to find true happiness, one must keep the things that support and inspire, and release everything that falls short.

In other words, deciphering what is important in one’s life is much

more important than worrying about things that are not essential.

But, therein lies the dilemma.

How do we decide the things in life we have to have and weighing them against the things that are not?

The theory provides an ongoing chart of how to approach life with a positive attitude, but, admittedly, also poses a myriad of judgments that are often not easily decided.

In reality, many of us consider items in our life that are essential sim-

ply based on longevity. We sometimes continue doing the things the same way because “it’s the way it’s always been done.”

Take for example, a recent presidential debate that left many questioning the legitimacy of these events.

There’s certainly no doubt that the Sept. 25 fiasco bore little resemblance to what we all define as a debate.

Additionally, it’s difficult to identify any useful information that evolved from 90 minutes of adult rants.

The dust had hardly settled when commentators and others called for an end to a process that most of us thought was a long-held tradition in political campaigns.

At first glance, the thought of canceling the remaining two debates seemed like an overreaction to what was a difficult to watch version of political chaos; but after some reflection, I, too, have been convinced that additional debates with these two see DEBATE, pg. 8

President’s successes not uncommon Chuck Williamson’s letter to the editor Sept. 30, 2020: “Eyes open to successes”. I see nothing different in this list of your Trump successes that have not been in every presidents list of successes at election time for the last 150 years.

These are just trivial things that come and go. Just like the weather and next week the numbers will be different.

Mother Nature has more effect on the economy than any president has ever had. Who can put more people to work than Mother Nature? Fires, floods, tornados, hurricanes, earthquakes -everything of destruction adds millions of jobs and billions of dollars into the economy every year. If you happen to be president in a disastrous year your numbers will look good.

Whenever you take the bait and spend too much time looking at what they want you to see, you miss out on what they do not want you to see. Edgar Allen Poe said, “Believe nothing you hear and only one half of what you see”.

Well, if that is the case over the last 3.5 years, half of what I have seen and believe tells me that this president has completely hijacked the judicial system and if re-elected will completely own the political system. He has focused and found the loopholes in the Constitution that has enabled him to put his actors in acting positions and in charge of every agency that would have any oversite of a president. This should be a concern for every citizen in the USA. Another term with this president and anyone having a problem with the president’s decisions will have only one choice and that is to call Ghost Busters.

That will be the only agency left for you to complain to -- that is, until Ghost Busters is under his control. see LETTERS, pg. 9

Kershaw, South Carolina, facilities in 2019. The Aviation Department has transported more 1,200 different passengers in the past two years.

“As we grow, we continue to prioritize getting out into the field and safely interacting with associates and customers across our footprint,” said Ryan Blanchard, aviation department manager, Luck Companies. “For us, having a beautiful new hangar for our Aviation Department to operate out of is a big part of delivering on our mission, and we’re grateful to Hanover County for their partnership.”

The new hangar was completed by A.D. Whittaker Construction Inc. and opened in May 2020.

Building design was led by architectural and interior design firm PSH+, working closely within the Luck Companies’ architectural guidelines developed over the past three years with 3North Architects.

In addition to the 10,000-square-foot hangar space, the facility also includes 2,000 square feet of office and common space to host Luck Companies customers and visitors.

PSH+ has been selected to design the new terminal, which will bring continuity and consistency from Luck’s hangar to the airport’s east side.

“Anytime you have a business relationship, you want to deliver on your promises,” said Flagg. “Luck Companies absolutely delivered on theirs – we hope they feel Hanover County did, too.”

The convenient location, accommodating nature of the team and their plans for expansion revealed the benefits of a more long-term partnership.

“Luck Companies is the ideal anchor tenant for the expansion of Hanover County Airport, a nearly 100-yearold company with deep roots in Central Virginia and a big vision for the future,” said Mike Flagg, director of Public Works for Hanover County.

“We’re happy to have them here, and proud to have their first-class facility set the standard as we start construction on the new terminal this fall.”

The Hanover County Municipal Airport is a General Aviation Reliever airport owned and operated

by Hanover County, Virginia, since 1969. The airport serves recreational and business aviation traffic and accommodates small single engine planes up to mid-size corporate jets. Currently, 106 aircraft are based at the Hanover

Airport.

The Virginia Department of Aviation estimates that the Hanover Airport has a positive economic impact of over $29 million annually to Hanover County. The master plan for the airport was approved by the Hanover County Board of Supervisors and the Federal Aviation Administration in 2002. All improvements identified in the master plan are designed to increase safety for flyers and area residents and support long-term business investments for economic benefit of citizens. No changes in the use of the airport or the type of aircraft to be served are planned. Heart of Virginia Aviation (HOVA) provides day-to-day operation of the airport and will operate the new East Side Terminal once complete. HOVA provides a number of aviation services to airport clients such as fueling, repair, maintenance services and flight training.

sweat and Kennedy looked cool as a cucumber. In actuality, it was not the substance, but the vision that prompted many voters to pull the lever for Kennedy.

It’s also interesting to note that one of those iconic debates was held remotely with one candidate on one side of the nation and the other on the opposite coast.

I was surprised to learn that another presidential debate was not held for 16 years after that momentous broadcast.

Apparently, the necessity of a national debate for presidential candidates had not been clearly established.

As conventions evolved and politics became somewhat of a form of entertainment for American viewers, the importance of presidential debates became instilled in American political psyche, and, for decades, it wasn’t a matter of if they would be held but rather how many and where.

I’m still trying to decided exactly what is essential and

what’s not in my life, and the decisions don’t seem to get easier as the years go by. But, in the past few days, I’ve become convinced that I can live without presidential debates, especially this year.

Watching grown men behave like school yard malcontents is not a productive use of my time. Having said that, it’s a shame that something that could be a valuable resource for American voters has devolved to a shouting match and exchange of per-

sonal insults.

But, perhaps tradition also provides a solution to the current state of political debates.

Perhaps, Donald Trump and Joe Biden should take a page from those first debates where candidates were separated by thousands of miles and still managed to produce a substantive, informative exchange of ideas.

Perhaps, these candidates, not unlike many of our children, sometimes perform best when they are separated.

The only reason that R-MC President Robert Lindgren appeared before the Ashland Planning Commission was to lend an air of diplomacy before the final approval is granted to R-MC, and it gave him a platform to boast of all the wonderful things that the R-MC has done for Ashland.

It (R-MC) should be up for some “Humanitarian Award” if everything President Lindgren said were true. I’m not saying he lied, but some of his claims …well.

Do you believe the school’s students give “Tens of thousands of hours to the town” in charity work yearly? Think about that for just a minute.

Sounds like a lot to me when you consider that R-MC has less than 1,300 (estimated) students. That would not leave much time for partying and drinking. Geez.

I had no clue that R-MC students spent $5,500 each in Ashland every year. That is impressive, if correct, (you must do some math, based upon figures he used).

To the point: 301 Caroline.

R-MC wants a “CUP” for that property and President Lindgren’s only point is that the town gave 303 Caroline a “CUP” so what’s the problem?

The problem is that the town should not have given a “CUP” to 303 Caroline to

Why do I believe any formality regarding R-MC’s request is a waste of time?

R-MC is building a new nursing school building.

Every time it rained a “Red Creek” flowed down Caroline.

Buddy Cousins Ashland

Although God views His children to be equal, mankind contrived oppression,

a global cancer that infected America in the 17th Century; the affront to human dignity did not markedly diminish after slavery was abolished in America, continuing the betrayal of the nation’s founding principles and Constitution.

Thanks to Martin Luther King Jr., a gutsy, peaceadvocating Christian, and the support of like-spirited Americans, societal mixing of the Caucasian and Negro races began to reform in the middle of the 20th Century and made steady progress, especially over the last two generations.

This year brought highlypublicized incidents of racial injustice that became impediments in the evolution, cata-

lyzing a backlash of emotionally-charged protests, both violent and non-violent, rooted in centuries of racism.

As long as evil exists in the world and in this nation of 330+ million people, absolute justice always will be an aspiration that is never fully realized nor will America be free of felons and a criminal justice system.

When infesting human beings, malevolence also is identity blind, making the broad-brush castigation of groups based on isolated events both unreasonable and extremely dangerous.

Considering America’s history prior to King, the body of its work towards social justice for African-Americans and other identity groups made

impressive strides in a relatively short timeframe.

And unless we deliver a mortal, self-inflicted wound, this will likely continue and eventually bring racial accord and reconciliation.

Instead of allowing our mindset to be governed by the views of others, especially activists or celebrities with selfserving agendas and access to media platforms, we should focus on our individual experience and the intelligence God gave us.

And speaking of God, unity is best achieved by simply practicing His expectation that we treat each other with the profound decency that we demand for ourselves.

Cmdr. Ted Pledger, commanding officer of USS Cole. “Today's Determined Warriors work hard to carry on the inspiring legacy of those who served before us."

Aboard USS Cole, there is

the “Hall of Heroes” in a passageway along the mess line leading to a memorial listing the names of those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Seventeen stars are embedded in the blue-

speckled deck, representing the sailors who walked that passageway over 20 years ago.

Clodfelter was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart, Combat Action Ribbon, Navy Unit Commendation and the rank of Hull Maintenance Technician Second Class. He held the Navy and Marine Corps Achievement Medal.

Cole is named in honor of Marine Sgt. Darrell S. Cole, who posthumously received the Medal of Honor for his actions at the Battle for Iwo

Jima in February 1945.

Cole’s motto, “Glory is the Reward of Valor,” underscores the spirit of Sgt. Cole for his extraordinary heroism, his unwavering loyalty to his country and his bravery in facing adversity without fear. His valor and sacrifices are a direct representation of the 17 sailors who were killed and the crew for their heroic actions to save the ship on that fateful day 20 years ago, and the resolve and warfighting attitude the Determined Warrior continues to embrace.

Nov. 30 is the deadline for lovers of America’s railroad history to meet the $50,000 matching grant for the Mid-Atlantic Railroad Park project in Ashland. Otherwise, the entire grant will be withdrawn. Research shows that the Railroad Park will strengthen our region’s economy for years to come, and the $50,000 matching grant from the Mary Morton Parsons Foundation is the very best chance to make this exciting attraction a reality. Please watch an informative video at ashlandvirginia.com/railroad. Then donate securely online, or write your check to Downtown Ashland Association and mail it to P.O. Box 33, Ashland VA 23005 (write “Railroad Park” on the memo line). A permanent plaque will recognize donors of $5,000+ as Honored Founders and donors of $1,000+ as Honored Supporters. Any and all donations will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for joining in to make this happen!

swim meets for the teams.”

Trent said to accomplish their goal there was a considerable amount of communication and Zoom meetings.

“The Town of Ashland and our team have always been remarkable partners but never a more collaborative partnership than this year,” he added.

According to Trent, pool manager Anthony Crews “worked with the team to make the pool affordable and available for our players.” Starting on June 15, there were daily temperature checks, 10-foot spaces in the pool, and more practices that were shorter in length.

Trent said 110 swimmers participated, including 28 new swimmers, as well as swimmers from four other programs. He noted, “Thirteen of our swimmers were second generation.”

The support from the town, he said, continued through June and July. He offered his praise to the disciplined swimmers. “I never once heard a swimmer complain [about any regulations].”

“Every single kid that was with us wanted to be there,” Trent said. “The steadfast help from the town made it possible.”

In other business, Town Attorney Andrea Erard explained public records and meetings in Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) Training. She discouraged

council members from using Facebook Direct Messenger and not writing notes on their agendas. “Any minutes you take, that’s not so much of an issue; be mindful of the records that you create because they could be published in a newspaper.”

She also told them that three members cannot “get together to talk about the budget or something to do with zoning or a matter that may come before council. That is not something you want to do. That’s an illegal meeting – even if you don’t have a vote or intent.”

Erard did say that existing State Code does allow council to hold electronic meetings.

Mike Jennings, director of the Public Works Department, said striping in the Thompson Street-Hanover Avenue intersection is in the works, allowing for loading zones and a drop-off area for people dining at nearby restaurants.

He said the goal is to provide a clear, dedicated dropoff location, as well as loading zones, “so cars won’t have to go around them in the other lane.”

Council member Daniel McGraw asked if there had been any consideration as to turning that intersection into a one-directional road. “We hadn’t thought of that,” Jennings said, adding, “Hanover Avenue handles 1,600 vehicles a day.”

Before any action is taking Jennings said his department would be in contact with restaurants that may be impacted (Oct. 28) from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

(CSFP boxes for seniors).

In Presentations, Major Anthony Callahan was honored for his years of service with the Ashland Police Department.

Mayor Steve Trivett read a resolution from council, recognizing Callahan, who joined the department on Sept. 8, 1999.

Trivett pointed out that Callahan had amassed 891 hours of specialized training, as well as extensive training and education. He listed the major’s timeline of promotions and that he had received 31 commendations during his tenure.

Mayor Trivett requested a Moment of Silence for the late Fred Stanley, who had resided in North Ashland, which is also known as LA (Lower Ashland). Stanley’s service was held Thursday, Oct. 1.

“I appreciate the different personalities, perspectives of everybody in Ashland,” Trivett said.

He said Stanley had an easement on some property where he would host neighborhood parties, including at Halloween, and arrange a visit from Santa Claus.

The mayor said Stanley was an example of “how people can give to a community from wherever they come from and whatever part of town.”

Soccer, learning and fun on a rainy day Smiles are best product of CP soccer workshop

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor RICHMOND – Despite the rain, there was no shortage of smiles on the pitch at the Sports Center of Richmond Sunday.

A small group of special kids – and enough coaches to work one-on-one with each kid – gathered under the pavilion that covered the pitch to hone their soccer skills.

Such workshops happen all the time, but this one was special in that the kids were learning CP soccer, a Paralympic event for people with cerebral palsy or who have suffered traumatic brain injury or stroke.

“A lot of those athletes fall through the cracks because sometimes they’re able to keep up to a certain extent with their peers that are able bodied,” said Forrest Lodge, program manager at Sportable, one of the sponsors of the workshop. “But, as they get older and get into more competitive settings, they might not be able to [keep up],

whereas this sport gives them that unique environment that’s made for them.”

Part of what made this workshop special was that the coaching staff included two who could relate to what the kids deal with on a personal level. One of the co-directors was Nick Creasey, a former member of the U.S. Paralympic National Team who suffered traumatic brain injury as a child

as a result of an operation to remove a brain tumor. Another co-director was Joe Farrell, executive director of FutsalRVA and general manager of Own Touch, who suffered a hemorrhagic stroke five months ago.

“I used to be a pretty strong athlete, but I thought I’d never be able to coach or play soccer again,” Farrell said. “I’ve been working very hard to get more able-bodied and when I found

this program, I wanted to get back because I felt there may be kids out there that maybe had a similar situation to what I have. And if I can come back and have an opportunity, you can, too.

“I had a lot of support from the community – financially and emotionally – and I wanted to give that back to these kids.”

The workshop was designed with short attention spans in

mind. Everyone gathered in a group for a brief discussion of the skills to be practice, then a coach demonstrated the skill, then the kids broke off for individual work with a coach to practice the skill. After a few minutes of practice, they would gather again and repeat the process.

“It goes back to the attention span of a kid,” Creasey said.

“I know in education there’s a

Runners brave dreary weather in Reverse Pole Green 5K Staff reports sports@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE – The wet weather did not make for pleasant running conditions at Pole Green Park Saturday morning, but that did not prevent dozens of youths from showing up for the Reverse Pole Green 5K. The race followed the same lower course used so far this fall, but with a twist — the course was run in reverse.

Out-of-towners swept the top spots in the boys championship race. Brogan Giffin and Aidan Nathan, both from Aldie, Virginia, finished first and second, respectively. Giffin finished with a comfortable 25-second lead over Nathan, clocking in at 15:48. Nicholas Hayden, Justin Polcha and Owen Mahadeo rounded out the top five.

Lindsey Hester of Midlothian won the girls championship race with a time of 19:11, just a few seconds ahead of runner-up Lauren Petranek. Riley Schindel finished third, followed by Farah McDaniel and Reese Dalton.

Two Mechanicsville residents won undercard races.

Nicholas Ligday won the boys combined A and B race and Sibyl Harrell won the girls A race.

ing was great.”

After all the lessons, they had a scrimmage – kids versus coaches, complete with a gentle foul so that one of the kids could attempt a penalty kick.

The kids scored all the goals, but everyone won.

“It was fun,” said Ashland resident Garrett Marr, one of the kids who participated in the workshop.

Marr, who has cerebral

palsy, has worked hard to become quite the athlete, and his competitiveness and intensity was evident in the workshop. There were some skills he said he needed to work on, chief among them dribbling.

“It’s nice to see him competing and excited about competing,” said Garrett’s dad, Jeff Marr. “Any soccer camp in which you have people of different levels, it helps to be a good teammate. It helps to learn your strengths and weaknesses and also to help others

with their strengths and weaknesses.”

Ultimately, the day was all about the smiles, even if COVID-19 precautions made them difficult to see at times.

“I wish we didn’t have to wear these masks,” Creasey said.

“I’m really looking for the crinkle in the eyes, the Duchenne smile. I’m really looking for that type of stuff because coaches, we can be as animated as we want to, but when you can see that smile … that’s the icing on the cake for me.”

Bolanos brace earns Kickers win

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor The Richmond Kickers needed a win last week if they were going to get back to the No. 2 spot in the USL League One standings. They needed a win to get the taste of a 4-0 shutout at home at the hands of the New England Revolution II on Oct. 3 out of their mouth, too.

Wednesday night, the Kickers got what they needed when Jonathan Bolanos came away with the first two goals of his professional career in a 2-1 win over Orlando City B at City Stadium Wednesday.

“Tonight was about winning. We needed to win the game,” said Richmond head

coach Darren Sawatzky. “I think we were in control of it from the get-go. I think we could have scored a couple more goals, but winning a game is all that matters at this point.”

Personally, it was a big night for Bolanos, who opened his professional scoring career with a brace.

“It’s definitely something that I’ve dreamed of,” Bolanos said. “Getting my first and second professional goals was definitely a dream come true, and helped me help the team get the win.”

Bolanos first goal came in the 27th minute off a Richmond corner. Orlando defenders deflected away from the goal but not out of the box, and

Bolanos found it – and an opening – at the top of the box and fired a rocket into the net.

His second goal came in the 43rd minute after he was fouled in the Orlando City box. He wanted the one-on-one, and after noticing the visiting keeper break wide, aimed for the center of the net instead. And he found it.

“I was definitely happy it went in,” Bolanos said.

Richmond lost some of that momentum on the road Saturday in a 2-1 loss to North Texas SC at Globe Life Park in Arlington, Texas. While tied with Union Omaha in points, tiebreaker rules left the Kickers in third place in the league standings.
