DISHAROON
ASHLAND -- The Hanover County School Board had originally planned to approve a name for the county’s recently instituted online school at last week’s meeting, but members decided not to take action on the pending name assignment. An item on the action agenda requiring a vote was removed and
placed in the information section of the agenda, allowing the panel an additional 30 days to consider the action. That did not prevent a school naming committee to present its final recommendation for the new name, a process that began last month and included input from students, teachers and administrators. Nancy Disharoon, director of Accreditation and Accountability,
outlined a timetable utilized to reach a final recommendation and announced the committee had decided on the name Hanover County Online School as its final choice. After the committee was formed on Oct. 13, online students were asked to submit suggestions. Each class narrowed those selections to one and six names were

Tax-Aide site will be open in the Mechanicsville Library again this tax season. The library is located at 7461 Sherwood Crossing Place. Tax-Aide offers free tax preparation and filing to older or low-income taxpayers. Many individuals miss out on credits and deductions they’ve earned because they can’t afford to pay for professional tax preparation; Tax-Aide can help.
The AARP Foundation Tax-Aide program i s the nation’s largest free, volunteerrun tax assistance service. It is sponsored by AARP and the IRS. It is now in its 52nd year. There are nine T ax-Aide offices i n the Richmond area. The volunteers all have extensive tax training and most have experience in tax preparation.

10 a.m. until 3 p.m. this year. Their first open day will be Wednesday, Feb. 3. Tax returns will be prepared by appointment this year.

before an appointment is made. If you've used Tax-Aide's service before, you'll be familiar with most of the forms, but anyone that needs help with the forms may call 804-5370662 or email MechTaxAide@ gmail.com.

From the managing editor
Trebek made you feel like you knew him By Melody Kinser Managing Editor hen the alert popped up on my iPhone, I was immediately saddened -- even though we knew he had been battling one of the worst forms of cancers for more than a year. Alex Trebek died on Sunday, Nov. 8, after having been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in March 2019. He announced to the millions of devoted Jeopardy viewers about his illness, as well as his determination to fight. And fight he did. There were times he showed up to tape something like five games a day in such pain that he’d need to take a break on occasion. As a matter of fact, he taped his last shows the end of October. They will air through Christmas.

One of the Jeopardy executives delivered a very touching tribute to the man who was known for his clever delivery of the answers to the unique game show. He was full of personality and it was obvious that contestants felt comfortable with him. I had a goal of taking the test and attempting to become a contestant -- primarily to meet Alex Trebek. I doubt I would have spent any days there as a champion, but I would have given it a go. Now, I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to watch a show that was a ritual -- and had been for years. Even before I reached the age of watching Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, I was a faithful viewer of the latter. I amazed myself often by what I knew, realizing decades of reading
Associated Press copy had been retained (much to my surprise). Often, I’ll admit to my mother that my correct answer was simply a good guess. I was an addict during the James Holzhauer reign, and the rapport he and Trebek developed was undeniable. The friendship they forged led Holzhauer to make a significant donation to one of the organizations that support pancreatic cancer research in Trebek’s name. Friends starting texting and messaging me Sunday night. So many of us will comment on social media, especially when we get Final Jeopardy correct. Prayers to Alex Trebek’s family. He leaves a legacy as one of TV’s pioneers in the game show genre. He will be missed. My 7:30 p.m. time frame has certainly changed.
A ‘magical lamp’ story provides a valuable lesson By Jim Ridolphi for the Mechanicsville Local You can’t make up this stuff. As children, many of us marveled to the tales of Aladdin and his magical lamp. When the lamp was rubbed, a huge genie appeared and granted the lucky owner a series of wishes, often granting them great wealth or personal happiness.
It’s a magical tale that enforces the idea that one magical moment can change a person’s life: a simple stroke of good luck that produces results that provide everything a person could not attain through normal measures. I recall hearing the story as a child and somehow equating it with another story I’d heard called Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves. I eventually learned that the two were both part of a collec-

tion called Arabian Nights and were a source of entertainment for children around the world. French author Antoine Galland translated the story of Aladdin in a collection called A Thousand and One Nights, but scholars have since decided the tale of Aladdin actually takes place in China, and Galland added the story to his famous Arabian Nights collection.
While Disney first introduced many of us to Aladdin, Sinbad the Sailor and Ali Baba, the original manuscript contains more than 1,000 stories and mythical tales. But, Aladdin and his famous lamp is more recognizable for most of us, and the magic of the rags to riches story continues to entice readers today. see LAMP, pg. 8

Type 1 Diabetes and what people don’t see about it (The following letter to the editor was submitted by Tara Gray, the mother of a child with Type 1 Diabetes. November is National Diabetes Awareness Month, which prompted Gray to write the following.) Type 1 Diabetes -- what you don’t see: What you don’t see is when our child has had enough of the illness and we hold them while they cry and we cry with them. What you don’t see is the disappointment when we have to tell our child “No, you can’t sleep over at your friend’s house.” What you don’t see is the fact that you have to say “No” a lot. What you don’t see is the opposite of what you’re told “Let them live a normal life.” Whose normal – yours or mine? What you don’t see is the relief when all the prescriptions are filled and you have everything you need at home to care for and keep your child alive. What you don’t see is trying to teach your child about their illness and their body preparing them to be independent one day but secretly not ever wanting them to live alone! What you don’t see is a stressed worried parent trying to appear as though you’re not! What you don’t see is the parent that got up the next morning after staying up late researching Type 1. What you don’t see is trying to live every day to the fullest without thinking too far in the future. What you don’t see is admiration from the parent to the child. You want to be their strength, but really you are in awe of their strength! What you don’t see is a grateful parent in the morning that the night went well and you get one more day with them! I love you, Cassie.

love to do on vacation with the people you love most,” said Rita McClenny, president and CEO of the Virginia Tourism Corporation. “The new LOVEwork at the Department of Community Resources office captures that idea perfectly, and gives you an authentic sense of place as it showcases Hanover’s People, Tradition and Spirit. We are excited that Hanover County will help us share the LOVE with travelers, helping them to discover for themselves why Virginia is for Lovers.” Each LOVE installation is a reflection of the community in which it stands, and the Hanover Celebrating 300 Years LOVEwork is no exception. The LOVE sign was constructed by the HYSC members, which include middle and high school youth, and volunteers to commemorate Hanover County’s 300th birthday and to celebrate the uniqueness of Hanover. During a Ribbon Cutting for the Celebrating 300th Year LOVEworks on Nov. 9, Angela Kelly-Wiecek, Chickahominy District’s representative on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, offered a few heartwarming comments. “I want to emphasize the importance of the LOVE sign in this moment … so much of what we had planned for our 300th anniversary had to be postponed or canceled,
but LOVE remains, LOVE endures,” she said. “Here we are with this wonderful sign and a fantastic promise that it symbolizes for the youth of our County, it is a very meaningful time and symbol.” “This youth project highlights the importance of giving voice to our youth and demonstrates teamwork among the future leaders of our County,” rsaid Hanover County Administrator John A. Budesky. “I thank all who have been involved in creating
this beautiful display, including the volunteers from Men in Ministry and the staff who have provided guidance.” Bella Maranda of the HYSC thanked volunteers for the Men in Ministry who worked with and taught HYSC members life skills related to construction and dedicating numerous hours of planning, problem solving and installation labor to this project.

Indian authorities are terming the case a prime example of if it seems too good to be true, it probably is, and they now suspect the woman who received the doctor’s care also may be involved
in the scam. The victim didn’t make it clear as to what wishes he had planned to invoke when the genie appeared, but it all seems irrelevant now as he searches for his lost $40,000, and hopefully obtains a more realistic vision of the difference between fact and fiction. Besides the obvious lessons this story provides, there also are other implications that are clearly displayed in the unfortunate plight of the Indian doctor. Always get a second opinion.

selected for a student poll open to all Hanover students. The committee reviewed the nominated names and made a decision on Nov. 5. While it appears certain the board will approve the name at its next meeting, other aspects of the county’s online school are receiving scrutiny. During a public comment period, several parents expressed concerns with the classes being offered online as well as other issues. Emily Stanford said online offerings are not equitable to those being offered to face-toface students. She cited class sizes, the lack of live resource classes for elementary students, and appropriate reading programs. She also contends that additional professional training is needed for teachers who, in her words, are not “well-versed” in some online procedures. She and others cited the lack of availability of a second elective for middle school students as a major disappointment for some online students. Sarah Butler said the lack of bandwidth in the county is inhibiting some online students. She also noted a lack of live resources and said some classes are being offered as YouTube videos as instructional resources. There’s also a question regarding the upcoming second semester and how current online students could re-enter

in class instruction. Butler said limited spots could equate to a limitation on students accepted back on campuses. Superintendent Michael Gill said issues regarding electives and other second semester plans will be updated at the board’s December meeting. The board approved some revisions to the current 20202021 school calendar that allows teachers more planning time to prepare for second semester and professional training. Students will attend half days on Jan. 27 and 28 and Jan. 29 is a student holiday. Students also will not attend on Feb. 1 and 2, and the second semester will begin Feb. 3. Gill said those dates coincide with the process of inviting online students back to inperson class. “Our teachers and administrators need this time whether it’s for the physical preparation of classrooms or finalizing of schedules,” the superintendent said. “Essentially, they are preparing for another opening mid-year.” March 5 and April 22 are teacher planning days but students will receive online instruction. “Two flexible learning days were added to the calendar in order to support additional professional learning opportunities for our teachers,” Disharoon said. “A flexible learning day is … where students will participate in carefully designed and meaningful learning activities from home.”
She said the flexible days will allow additional time for teachers to assess and plan for the end of the term. “The flexible learning days will provide teachers with the opportunity to collaborate within their content area, provide time to prepare instruction, participate in learning activities and assess individual learning needs as we move into the end of the school year.” Board members approved the revisions by a unanimous vote. Disharoon also outlined two options for the 2021-2022 calendar, both featuring post Labor Day opening and two full weeks for winter break. The two options are the result of a calendar committee formed to balance instructional and community needs. “The first calendar (Option A) features or reflects a traditional school calendar, something similar to what we’ve had in past years,” Disharoon said. Option A features a number of early closings in order to allow teachers professional development opportunities. “The second option (Option B) reflects the implementation of flexible learning days and fewer early release days,” she said. The two calendar options are posted on the division website through Dec. 2 for community feedback. Following that process, the calendar committee will report those results at the board’s December meeting.

ASHLAND -- Hanover County Public Schools has received a shipment of more than 9,000 Chromebooks that will be distributed starting this week. Superintendent Michael Gill said he was “thrilled to announce an exciting development in [the school division’s] ability to provide the necessary technology for all students to learn in the digital world.” The accomplishment, paid for through CARES Act and local funding approved by the Hanover County School Board and Hanover County Board of Supervisors, means every HCPS middle and high school student will have a Chromebook by Thanksgiving break, which starts Wednesday, Nov. 25. Elementary school students will receive their device in December. HCPS previously distributed more than 6,600 Chromebooks and roughly 600 internet hotspot devices to students enrolled in the fully virtual Hanover Online School. “The receipt of these devices, at a time when there is a national shortage of Chromebooks, is a significant advancement for our school division and our ability to serve the ever-changing needs of our students and families,” said Dr. Gill and Terri Hechler, director of Technology
Services. “We pride ourselves on our Tradition of Excellence, which entails providing a top quality education to students. Now more than ever, this technology is a necessary tool for our students’ toolbox — keeping them connected to learning outside the classroom, no matter the circumstances.” “Without question, technology will never replace our great teachers. However, when used effectively, it has the ability to transform instruction in a way not previously possible. It empowers teachers and students alike to create and participate in new lessons that were previously unimaginable and better prepares students for the world in which they will live and work,” they added. As outlined in the Five-Year Technology Plan, the HCPS technology department will distribute the devices to middle school students first. This will be followed by distribution to high school students and elementary school students. School principals will communicate more distribution details directly with their school communities soon. Information submitted by Chris R. Whitley, Hanover County Public Schools public information officer.
Open enrollment period for land use resumes on Jan. 1 HANOVER -- Hanover County offers a Land Use Taxation Program under which qualified landowners can have their property assessed at “use value”, which may be lower than market value and reduce taxes owed. The application period for this program extended through Nov. 1, with an additional enrollment period Jan. 1 to Feb. 1, 2021. Landowners who have kept their property in agricultural or horticultural use for at least five years can qualify
for the land use program. The property kept in agricultural or horticultural use must be at least five acres in size. Property that has been zoned Rural Conservation (RC) also can qualify for the Land Use program. If the land use is changed, the tax reduction must be repaid with simple interest for the current tax year and potentially up to the previous five tax years. About 3,616 parcels and 157,848 acres are currently enrolled in Hanover County’s Land Use Taxation program.
This represents about 54% of the county’s total acreage. The total tax deferral realized by these property owners is about $5.3 million. For more information about the Land Use Program or other tax relief programs offered by Hanover County, call the Commissioner of the Revenue at 804-365-6125 or visit the Land Use page for the Commissioner of the Revenue at www.hanovercounty.gov.

Carmel School aids needy by collecting ‘Techs-Giving’ items Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com RUTHER GLEN – The Carmel School, an independent college preparatory, K-12 coeducational school is launching “Techs-Giving,” an event designed to help bridge the “digital divide” for U.S. veterans and K-12 students. The robotics program will be collecting retired information technology (IT) from families and businesses and then donating it to Tech For Troops where it will be securely data sanitized, upcycled and loaded with Microsoft learning and productivity software, and then delivered to those in need. Students, and families, as well as community members, can donate their old and/or non-working desktops, laptops, monitors, keyboards, mice, tablets, and cell phones to be securely upcycled or recycled. “At the Carmel School we believe in participating in community service,” said Ms. Kember Forcke, robotics & engineering teacher. “The
school is thrilled to team up with Tech For Troops to positively impact the work they are doing to help veterans.” Tech For Troops was started in Richmond by a mother and son team who were passionate about military veterans in need. In 2013, after hearing about the force reductions and a huge number of returning soldiers, they decided to collect used PCs and Macs, refurbish them, and provide them to veterans’ support organizations. Since then, Tech For Troops has grown to supporting veterans nationwide and continues to look for ways to offer support and training. “We are extremely proud to collaborate with The Carmel School on this unique initiative,” said Mark Casper, executive director, Tech For Troops. “In our mission to empowering veterans with computers, skills, and information technology (IT) work force training, education is a key component. The support we are receiving from The Carmel School will help us assist veterans support organizations with

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). Supportive organizations include the Downtown Ashland Association, Virginia Port Authority, Ashland Museum, Hanover County Black Heritage Society, CSX, Ashland Kiwanis Club, Marketing Ashland Partnership, and the Hanover County Historical Society. 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!

Helene Ruiz has shared another one of his paintings. She calls this “Cages at the Border.” She said “what is happening here has been that I am sort of painting a series of works all relating to the many very serious issues in our country that need attention sooner than later, all of which are compelling me to paint as a means of documentation with my art as I am not a writer but I do feel a need to holler about the many events and express the fear, sadness and trauma many of us are experiencing as a result of so many very horrific events going on, from the unjust murders, riots, racial tension, poverty, unemployment, people addicted to social media to the point they have lost touch with reality, the pandemic, deaths, illnesses, suffering, nuclear weapons, fears, hunger, education, murder hornets beginning to kill our bees that we need so badly to pollinate the plant-life for food sources, global warming, the atmosphere, each week another one of our foods recalled due to being infected with bacteria, immigrant women being sterilized without their permission, the cages at the border with so many innocent children who may never be reunited with their parents again to so much more. This country has always been where everyone came to for a better life; this is how many ancestors got here. This is what makes America. How do we recover? Will we recover? What will happen to our children and the all the babies in their future? Will they even have drinkable water and breathable air? We are living in very scary times. When I close my eyes, I imagine the children in the cages crying for Mama and Papa, not understanding what they did to be abandoned and separated and put in these cages and their broken hearts and the lifelong scars on their spirits.”

students.” A fifth Hanover teacher, Amelia Buchanan of Chickahominy Middle School, was chosen as a finalist and will receive a $750 unrestricted cash grant in recognition of her achievements in the classroom. The awards program, which is a partnership between the Community Foundation for a greater Richmond and the R.E.B.

Since its inception in 1988, the program has awarded approximately $4.2 million to over 950 public school instructors as recognition for their outstanding classroom performance.

Stand and deliver! Not the cashbox, but fun By Nick Vandeloecht Richmond Suburban News It was through a sporting show on cable television in 2009 that Terry Stephenson first heard of cowboy action shooting. He watched the program and its featured match, and the sport appealed to him in multiple ways. He said he’d “always been a history nut,” and he grew up watching American Western series like “Gunsmoke,” “Have Gun – Will Travel” and “Cheyenne.” A couple weeks later, he went in to DeGoff’s Firearms, and sitting on the counter was a card advertising Cowboy Action Shooting in Mechanicsville. He asked the owner of the store if there was a cowboy club nearby, and the owner replied, “Oh yeah! I shoot Cowboy Action.” The rest is history. After he went to a couple of matches – watched the action, asked questions, started purchasing firearms – Stephenson, who goes by Major B.S. Walker in cowboy action shooting, started competing in January 2010. Since then, he’s gone on to become a two-time Frontier Cartridge state champion, a three-time Frontier Cartridge gunfighter state champion, a senior state champion, a silver senior state champion and a

Goochland County resident Terry Stephenson, known to his competitors as Major B.S. Walker, clears a shell from a shotgun while competing in a cowboy action shooting match. Matches are held nearly every weekend at ranges in the Richmond metro area.
Frontier Cartridge gunfighter Northeast regional champion. The Goochland County resident is a seven-time category winner in the state black powder championship, and one time, he was the overall winner for the entire match. Just about every match he goes to, Stephenson finishes between first and fifth. He was the overall match winner at the
The Mechanicsville Local
Mattaponi Sundowners Club this past Saturday. But for Stephenson, the most enjoyable part of the entire sport is not the competition – it’s the camaraderie. “When you walk in and introduce yourself, it’s like you’ve instantly just walked in to a crowd of your longtime friends!” he said. “Everybody is so nice and so friendly, you feel
November 18, 2020
right at home right off the bat.” There are several clubs across the state that feature cowboy action shooting, including the Montpelier-based Cavalier Cowboys, for which Stephenson is the match director. The clubs are affiliated with the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) organization that oversees cowboy action shooting competitions worldwide.
A cowboy action shooting match normally consists of six different stages and lasts three to four hours, depending on the competitors and stage difficulty. In each stage, you shoot steel targets using three sets of guns from the 1860-1899 time period, and you get timed for the entire run. You have to draw two single action revolvers from a holster,
shoot five rounds each, then move to a different position. You also pick up a westernstyle lever action rifle and shoot 10 rounds using the rifle. Additionally, you’ll pick up either an 1897 pump-action shotgun or a double-barrel shotgun and shoot four targets. Your goal is to hit the targets in a specific order. Five seconds are added to your time when you miss the target. And if you shoot the targets in the wrong order – for example, if you’re supposed to double-tap target no. 1, double-tap no. 2 and then double-tap no. 3, but instead you double-tap no. 1, doubletap no. 2 and single-tap no. 3 – you are assessed a penalty of 10 additional seconds. Stephenson said the average competitor shoots 24 rounds in 35 seconds, while the faster shooters can typically move through the course in 24 seconds. In a normal match, you’ll expend 120 rifle and pistol rounds and 24 shotgun shells, he said. They have categories for weapons like the cap and ball pistol, styles like duelist in which you shoot the gun one-handed, and age; Stephenson shoots in silver senior (age 65-70), and they allow competitors as young as 12 years old. They even have dress categories, including classic cowboy and B western, both see DELIVER, pg. 23
DELIVER Continued from pg. 22
of which have dress codes. But with most of the other categories, you don’t necessarily have to look like a cowboy – you just have to wear attire that existed in the Old West, including jeans, long-sleeve shirts and leather shoes and boots. You’re also not required to wear a hat, but most everybody there will wear a cowboy hat. And Stephenson and most of his fellow competitors like to dress the part. He was a brick contractor all his life, so he went to work in khakis and a tee-shirt. So when the weekend comes around, he relishes the opportunity to dress up as historical archetypes and famous figures – one week he’ll go as Wyatt Earp, the next he’ll go as Doc Holliday and then the next he might just go as a working cowboy. “Most of the guys have a certain character and style,” he said. “Me, because my name is Major B.S. Walker, I lean to the military side a little more – I have more cowboy hats with a military band on it than not, now – but I just dress how I feel at the time. “For me, it’s like Halloween every weekend; I can just dress up as a character,” he said, “and that makes it fun!” All competitors also have to register an alias or cowboy name. Everyone locally, in the state and up and down the East Coast who has shot with Stephenson will call him by his cowboy name, Major B.S. Walker, even when they see him outside of matches. Stephenson estimates he shoots with about 200 different people every month, and of those 200, he probably knows the real name of about 30 of them, and that’s because those 30 are club officers. The world-building and fellowship go beyond the matches themselves. This weekend Stephenson is heading to

For More Information To learn more about the Cavalier Cowboys, SASS and/ or cowboy action shooting, how it works, how to get involved and where to find matches visit https://www. cavaliercowboys.org/ and https://sassnet.com/. The Cavalier Cowboys website has links to videos that cover a range of subjects from the history of SASS to how to get started in the sport (https://www.cavaliercowboys.org/newshooter-information/new-shooter-info/). The SASS website includes a comprehensive list of cowboy action shooting clubs in the State of Virginia (https://sassnet.com/clubs/ Clubs_list.php?state=Virginia).
Powhatan to attend the wedding of a couple whom he’s shot with, and he said they want everyone to dress in cowboy attire. Stephenson also writes stories, poems and passages for the matches – once he featured a historical account on Kirk Douglas, another time he wrote about The Battle of the Alamo
– and when the shooter is ready, instead of simply saying he or she is ready to shoot, he or she will instead say something related to the story, like “Remember the Alamo!” or “Mine Hit the Ground First” (Douglas’ quip to John Wayne in “The War Wagon”). Stephenson writes up and sends out the matches – including the targets and stage
orders so that competitors can study them – every Monday before a weekend match. “We try to make it playful,” he said, adding in an earlyAugust match writeup: “What adding that story does is to cement together what our sport is really all about, a bunch of friends getting together to have fun. Having that story is showing the world that we aren’t there to stomp our competition and then strut away like the cock on the walk. It’s there to set an example that cowboy shooters as a whole are in fact a bunch of caring loving people that are there to have fun first and foremost.” If a competitor’s gun breaks, Stephenson will lend that competitor his gun, even if his gun is faster. “I would rather lose being beat than to win because the
other guy couldn’t finish,” Stephenson said. Between the various clubs both within the Richmond area and about an hour’s drive from the city in all directions, you can compete in cowboy action shooting every Saturday and Sunday on every weekend save for the second weekend, on which there’s not a Sunday match. The first weekend of every month, you can shoot at Pungo Posse in Sussex County on Saturday and at Cavalier Rifle and Pistol Club in Montpelier on Sunday. You can also shoot at Pungo every second Saturday, and on the third weekend, there are competitions via K.C.’s Corral at Black Creek Gun Club in Mechanicsville every Saturday and via the Mattaponi Sundowners in Shacklefords
The Mechanicsville Local
near West Point every Sunday. On the fourth weekend, the Sundowners shoot again every Saturday, and the Pepper Mill Creek Gang in King George typically shoots every Sunday, but they weren’t initially shooting since the onset of the current COVID-19 pandemic. There’s also Charlottesville’s Rivanna Ranger Company; Stephenson shoots with them on the second Saturday of every month since it is closer to where he lives near Hermitage Country Club. As the territorial governor to four of the five clubs he shoots at, Stephenson is involved across the clubs; he promotes the sport, he runs the timer, he writes matches, and people ask him for information and tips on what they can do to improve their matches. He’s had the honor of regulator bestowed upon him for going above and beyond the call of duty and putting in more work than what is normally expected. One of the newer competitors, whom Stephenson has taken under his wing, and who has started to win against Stephenson sometimes, has commented on how impressed he was by how nice everyone is in cowboy action shooting – how they compete without being competitive, Stephenson recalled him saying. “I’m there to compete, I want to win – I don’t argue that point; I like winning. Everybody does. But we don’t get awards for participation,” Stephenson said. “Our award is just being with likeminded people that are out having fun like you want to have. “I look forward to seeing all my people every week,” he said, “and whether I win or lose, that’s secondary, and most other people I talk to, they’re all that way.” Nick Vandeloecht is sports editor of Powhatan Today and Goochland Gazette.
