Extension Master Gardeners meet demand for home vegetable gardening information Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com

B

LACKSBURG -- The COVID-19 pandemic has increased the number of people interested in home vegetable gardening, said Dave Close, Virginia Cooperative Extension consumer horticulture specialist and Extension Master Gardener program director.

The Extension Master Gardener program, a research-based gardening education program with more than 4,800 volunteers across the commonwealth, is pioneering ways to connect these new gardeners with the resources of Virginia Cooperative Extension.

“We have observed a trend toward growing home gardens and have seen many people looking for basic gardening information like ‘How do I build a raised bed?’ or ‘How do I start tomato seeds indoors?’” said Close.

“Growing your vegetables at home contributes to a more resilient local food system and offers considerable benefits, including an opportunity to engage with nature, the chance to try unusual vegetable varieties, and personal fulfillment,” said Close.

If you have questions about growing your food in Virginia — or you're just wondering how you can get started, Virginia Cooperative Extension and the Extension Master Gardener program have several resources -- https://www. pubs.ext.vt.edu/ -- to offer. Some of Extension’s gardening resources can be at https://ext. vt.edu/lawn-garden/home-vegetables.html.

“We have a new online vegetable growing portal and are doing a weekly Facebook live series for beginning gardeners,” said Close. “We are excited to be partnering with our colleagues at Virginia State University to put together this collaborative series. Find it on Facebook every Thursday through the spring and summer.”

In nearly every county in Virginia, you can find a team of local Extension Master Gardeners eager to offer personalized advice and education.

In Chesterfield, Extension Master Gardeners have moved their usual help-desk online. Help desks are available in most coun-

ties throughout the commonwe alt h and offer members of the public personalized answers to their gardening questions and assisMetro Creative Graphics tance with plant pathology, entomology, or plant identification.

“You could tell how excited the Extension Master Gardener volunteers were to have an opportunity to be engaged and do what they love, especially by focusing on helping others in a positive way,” said Bethany Eigel, a Virginia Cooperative Extension agent in Chesterfield.

In Hampton, Gaylynn Johnson, Virginia Cooperative Extension agent and coordinator of the Hampton Extension Master Gardeners, developed a vegetable gardening course for beginning gardeners.

“The response has been overwhelming with a flood of questions from beginning gardeners almost every day. It has been an absolute pleasure helping them in the same way an Extension agent helped me as a beginner back home in Michigan,” said Johnson.

“We are offering new gardeners researchbased education that’s specific for Virginia. We strive to present the information in an accessible and easy to implement way,” said Close.

“What’s special about Virginia Cooperative Extension and the Extension Master Gardener program is that our volunteers, agents, and specialists are not trying to sell anything. We are trying to help Virginians grow healthy and environmentally-responsible landscapes by implementing the knowledge that comes out of our land grant institutions.”

Whether you're converting your front yard to vegetable beds, propagating indoor plants, reseeding a lawn, mitigating runoff into a local waterway, or planting a rain garden, Extension Master Gardeners can help people of all levels of experience grow plants.

Nominations received for school board seats

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

H

ANOVER- Three candidates placed their names in nomination for two school board seats scheduled to be filled next month at last week’s board of supervisors meeting.

Incumbents Bob Hundley and Ola Hawkins expressed their desires to continue their service on the school board.

Hawkins, currently vice-chair, is seeking her second four-year term, while Hundley has been a member since 2004 and served as chair on several occasions.

Also asking to be considered is Dr. Jerome Clayton Ross, a local pastor and philosophy professor.

Hundley and Ross are seeking the Chickahominy seat while Hawkins is the sole candidate for the Ashland position.

Hawkins currently works at Henrico County’s Maude Trevvett Elementary School assisting students with remedial math and reading. She also enjoyed a 28-year career with Verizon in teaching and management.

As Ashland’s representative, Hawkins works with three elementary schools and one middle and high school, but said the position requires a broad vision.

“As school board members, we work with all schools, all children and all communities.

That’s our job and we do it,” she said.

Hawkins has been active on many school board committees, including Special Education, Teacher of the Year, Preschool Initiatives, Health and Advanced Studies.

Hawkins said her service on the board has been impactful and she wants to continue in order “to do what is right and what is best” for Hanover

students.

Hundley is a lifelong Hanover resident, a product of Hanover schools and a graduate of Lee Davis High School in 1980. He and his wife Nancy have three children, all of whom have graduated from Atlee High School.

Hundley has also served as president of the Virginia School Board Association and currently represents them on the Commonwealth’s advisory board for the gifted. He works at Resource International, a civil engineering firm.

“I recognize that the privilege to serve on the school board demands an immense responsibility, and I vow to continue serving with that in mind,” Hundley said in a brief statement to the board.

Ross, a 1982 graduate of Virginia Union University’s School of Theology, has served as a professor of theology at VUU and Randolph Macon College and is currently an adjunct professor at VUU and John Tyler Community College.

He also pastors a local church.

While Ross admitted to having no experience teaching in public schools, he voiced a lifelong interest in education and its connection to religion.

Ross said he hopes “to bring some cultural sensitivity and some new ideas” to the educational table in Hanover County.

An announcement of who will serve is scheduled for next month’s board of supervisors meeting.

In other matters, the board issued a proclamation recognizing C. Harold Padgett for his long years of public service and dedication to Hanover County.

Padgett and his wife Betty Ann are preparing to move to South Carolina, and the longtime planning commissioner said the kind words expressed at last week’s meeting could influence his decision to relocate.

Where the big dogs shop!

In lovin g mem o Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

Current Chickahominy District Planning Commissioner Steve Hadra, Chickahominy board member Angela Kelly-Wiecek, C. Harold Padgett and wife Betty Ann.

“If I knew everybody loved me so much, I don’t know I’d go,” he laughed as he accepted a plaque emblazoned with the proclamation.

“I share with many citizens of Hanover whether they’re members of the Rotary of members of the American Legion or others in the community who will just miss the calm and reassuring and wonderful presence of Harold Padgett.

“So, we thought the least we could do even in this strange time that we find ourselves in, is to offer a proclamation and thanks to our dear Harold,” Chickahominy supervisor Angela Kelly-Wiecek said.

Padgett was appointed to the planning commission by then-supervisor Bob Setliff in 2001 and served on that board until his retirement in 2016. He also served on the county’s zoning appeals board.

After he graduated from the Citadel in 1962, Padgett served in the U.S. Army and South Carolina National Guard and is a member of the Mechanicsville Rotary and American Legion Post 175.

Padgett and his wife are returning home to Berkeley

County, South Carolina, but he acknowledged his heart remains in Hanover County.

“Working with the county has been a real pleasure. It’s changed my life in a way that would have never happened otherwise,” Padgett said.

By his description he entered that realm of public service “by accident more or less” after working to elect Bob Setliff to the board of supervisors in 2002 and being appointed to the planning commission.

Playgrounds, skate park open ASHLAND -- In conjunction with the executive orders of Governor Ralph Northam implementing Phase I of the Forward Virginia plan, which went into effect on Friday, May 15, the park playgrounds and Pole Green skate park are open.

Be advised that amenities throughout the parks are not sanitized, so use with caution and follow the CDC health and safety guidelines.

“We reiterate the critical importance of flowing physical distancing guidelines and avoidance of gatherings and group activities,” said Marcy G. Durrer, recreation program director for Hanover County Parks and Recreation.

“At this time, all permitted use of athletic fields, picnic shelters and historic sites remain cancelled and all department-sponsored programs and activities are cancelled. These cancellations include Taylor’s Pirate Fishing FUN and Taylor’s Neon Night Bike Ride, both scheduled in June,” she said.

“As the state continues to transition through reopening phases, the department will make decisions regarding future programs, events, and the use of park athletic fields,” Durrer continued.

“We understand the importance of the park system to our

residents and will continue to re-evaluate the need for closures and cancellations as this unprecedented situation evolves. Please stay up-to-date with COVID19 facts through the CDC and Virginia Department of Health,” she said.

Sydney, who makes her home in Beaverdam, is the daughter of John O’Connell and Lynda Schwartz.

As for attaining the ranking of valedictorian, she said, “I never paid much attention to my class ranking. When I was younger I imagined being valedictorian, but as high school started I thought that it was less attainable so I stopped worrying about it.”

“When I opened my transcript and saw ‘1,’ I was (happily) surprised - and even more so when I heard that Joey and I had tied! It was so unexpected to have two valedictorians, but I’m glad that we did,” she continued.

Sydney said, “I am honored to have this recognition of my hard work as I move forward in my education.”

hope to one day research or practice medicine, possibly with an emphasis on infectious diseases,” Sydney said.

As for her years at Patrick Henry, she said, “I’ve always viewed high school as a stepping stone for my future; because of this, I’ve worked extremely hard in scholarship, extracurricular and service to prepare myself and open all of the opportunities that I can.”

“I simply aimed to do my best in everything, all for this idea of ‘readiness’ and expanding my education. Although half of the time, the reason I studied more or put more effort into an assignment was simply for the knowledge, not for my grade,” she added.

Looking ahead, she said she hopes “to continue learning through science - more specifically, through medicine, which I believe is the perfect synthesis of my love of learning and my determination to make a difference.”

While restrictions have been loosened across the state, it remains important to limit gatherings to protect the health of everyone, the release said.

With this in mind, organizers made the difficult decision to cancel the Hanover Tomato Festival, which was scheduled for July 10 and 11.

This year would have marked the 42nd festival, which has never been cancelled before, said Marcy Durrer, recreation program director. Each year, the festival draws thousands of people to the area for the event centered around Hanover’s famous fruit.

The Hanover Tomato Festival is a time-honored tradition in the community and organizers look forward to seeing everyone at the 2021 event, which organizers say will be

Believe it or not, good people can disagree

By Laura McFarland Richmond Suburban News

ust because I disagree with you doesn’t mean I don’t like you.

Recently, I was in a group of people asked by email for my thoughts on participating in an annual event this summer that falls after the current end of the June 10 stay-at-home order issued by Governor Ralph Northam.

One by one, most of the people replying gave all of their reasons why they thought it was a bad idea to move forward with participation in the event.

While I am fully on-board with making good choices, maintaining social distancing, and not putting others at risk, I am not yet ready to write off the possibility of events and activities that far off.

I am a junior member of this group, which has come to mean a great deal to me, as has the event. Part of me hesitated to voice my opinion when so many seemed against it, but I eventually sent my reply briefly expressing my desire to participate.

I’m not saying I won’t change my mind later if Virginia’s situation doesn’t improve to an acceptable degree, but I am trying to keep an open mind.

The email conversation stayed with me for several days afterward, not because I questioned my decision but because I wondered how it was viewed by those who read it.

I couldn’t help but apply that interaction with the wider experience of living through a pandemic alongside everyone else (but at a safe distance, of course) and how people have reacted to the choices made by others.

I had already been thinking about this for a few weeks, both because of my own interactions and a great story told by my colleague, Goochland Gazette editor Roslyn Ryan. She wrote about people being shamed on social media in various incidents related to COVID-19 because of how others interpreted – or misinterpreted – their actions.

Unfortunately, the fact that so much of our interactions are happening through the lens of online communication probably skews our perception of reality to some degree.

People truly do seem more apt to say mean and damaging comments when they are not looking you directly in the eye.

I have watched as people who argued to reopen everything because of the damage being done to the economy, and especially small businesses, were called unfeeling and a risk to others.

I have seen people who chose to completely isolate themselves, take highly involved precautions to reduce exposure, and call to shut down everything were called paranoid and uncaring of the people who have families to feed.

probably won’t have to look hard to find people with differing opinions – opening certain retail and personal care businesses, allowing elective surgeries, wearing masks, canceling events, having one-way grocery aisles, the government’s response (any government at any level), eating out, eating at home, aggressive sterilization methods when you return from an outing, using public and state parks, transitioning back to normal, or hoarding or overbuying certain supplies, just to name a few.

The one point we might all agree on is just how overwhelming the entire situation has been in the last several weeks.

In the midst of these difficult times, it is easy to hurl our opinions at each other like the action hero throwing away the ticking bomb and watching it explode from a safe distance.

It is not quite as easy to get past our righteous indignation and knee-jerk reaction to tell people they are wrong and actually have a discussion with them about why they feel the way they do and show a little kindness.

Believe it or not, good people can disagree wildly on a topic, and doing so doesn’t automatically make either of them a bad person.

Citizens should decide whether to quarantine I am a 75-year-old grandmother and resident of Hanover County with five grandchildren, one of whom is trying to graduate from high school this year.

I have enjoyed our democracy with the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all of my years in our great country until this year.

I have felt like we have been under the rule of dictators or living the life of the homeland during World War III for the last few months.

Our whole population has been under the stress of fear, emotional uncertainty and loss of livelihood by this panic.

I can only hope that when the next medical panic comes our country's leaders will have a reaction that is more logical and that gives Americans the respect and confidence that they deserve.

The majority can make sound decisions about how to handle a medical crisis without being forced to do so.

The people who should quarantine themselves are the ones at-risk or that fear getting the sickness instead of shutting down and quarantining the whole country.

been a constantly changing situation that has presented daily challenges for educators attempting to maintain quality instruction for all county students.

Superintendent Michael Gill admits there have been days where questions outnumbered answers, but said he’s proud of the way his staff has reacted to an unprecedented crisis and maintained efforts to provide quality instruction during these difficult times.

“Our teachers, administrators and support staff have truly risen to the challenge.

Our curriculum staff has put together our virtual and package instruction to keep our students not only engaged but also to cover the material,” Gill said.

Parents and students have also been presented with a set of unknowns during the pandemic with a myriad of questions regarding the future.

An immediate concern regards summer school. All high school summer school courses will be offered online beginning June 22.

Since virtual learning is more difficult for elementaryaged students, Gill said that summer program will be pushed back as far as possible with start times projected in August.

“A lot of that depends on guidance from the state as to when we are allowed to have students back in our buildings,” Gill said last week.

Middle school summer classes require a more “blended” approach, combining in class with remote learning and those plans are still pending state DOE guidance.

County officials also rely on the governor’s recommendations and the Virginia Department of Health’s guidelines.

“If we are permitted to do

it, a blended learning approach for the middle school level, as opposed to a fully virtual model we would use if the blended approach wasn’t possible, would be a combination of in-person instruction as well as online or virtual instruction,” Gill said.

With students ending their on-campus instruction on March 13, nearly three months of in-class learning has been lost, replaced by virtual instruction or more traditionally paper packets containing assignments and lectures.

“That’s essentially three months of lost instruction,” Gill said. “We are required to certify to the State of Virginia that the remaining curriculum for the three months that we were not in school was still covered.”

Gill said Hanover accomplished that task with providing either or virtual or paper assignments that require a student’s submission in order to obtain a “meets expectations” rating. Phase II of the remote learning plan was initiated shortly after Spring Break and focused on those required instructional guidelines.

“We can certify to the state of Virginia that we have covered that material,” Gill said.

The superintendent acknowledged the shortcomings of virtual instruction and said administrators will work with teachers during the summer on how to assess students when they return in the fall.

“In any summer there is some learning loss that occurs between June and September,” Gill said. “It remains to be seen if that will be heightened this year. Instruction will be tailored to the individual as we resume hopefully in September.”

To address those potential learning gaps, Gill said the system would employ a scaffolded system, one that teaches concepts from the prior year and

build on that foundation.

“Then, we’ll circle back again and reteach and build… so that we can bridge that gap,” Gill said. “Hopefully by late fall, we are on a normal pace.”

While some school systems are considering earlier start dates for the fall session or expanded hours for instruction, Gill said Hanover will not consider opening schools before Labor Day. “We are actively working through a variety of scenarios, what we call our return to learn, and putting together a task force right now. So much of that will be dictated by those three agencies (Governor’s Office, VDOE and VDH) and we will take our guidance from them,” Gill said.

“We really have more questions than answers at this point,” Gill said. “We will be prepared for any scenario.

When we do welcome our students back it is going to be a happy day but is always going to be with their safety foremost in our minds,” he added.

Hanover’s virtual learning efforts have been complicated by the lack of devices for all students.

Currently, the system is in its fourth year of a five-year technology plans that will provide Chromebooks for all middle school students this fall, and distribute devices to high school students the following school year.

When asked if officials have considered accelerating that program forward, Gill’s response was direct.

“Yes is the simple answer on that,” he said. “Equity is always a consideration in our decision making. We are trying to provide an equal opportunity for all students.”

Distributing paper packets and boosting Wi-Fi reception around campuses are all efforts to improve and ensure that equity, but Gill admits the devices would enhance virtual learning.

“We remain on schedule for our middle school laptop initiative,” Gill said. “While I can’t make any promises at this point about accelerating the schedule for high school laptops….we are working through several logistics (budgeting, supply)… and we are in the works on that and working with the county administrator, and I am hopeful that still remains a reality before we return to learn in the fall,” he added.

Regarding sports, Gill said all decisions regarding those schedules reside with the Virginia High School League (VHSL), and options are being considered.

The superintendent said he expects those plans will be finalized in the next month.

“Nothing short of a return to what our students, faculty, parents and community consider a normal school year is ever going to measure up, but I truly have the fullest degree of confidence in our staff – both in our buildings and the school board office level – to provide the highest caliber of instruction and experience possible for our students regardless of whatever the scenario might be for the fall,” Gill said. “Frankly, they’re doing that right now.”

The superintendent said he has been overwhelmed with the commitment and dedication of his staff during this difficult period.

“The stories that I hear on a weekly, often daily, basis about teachers, administrators, support staff going above and beyond to engage students, to make sure every student in their class or on their caseload is accounted for, making home visits, checking in on the phone, really brings tears to your eyes,” Gill said. “In many regards, I believe this has been one of our finest moments…. with the amount of individuals going above and beyond to serve our No. 1 client…our students. The efforts know no bounds, and I am truly in awe of their efforts.”

Each week of virtual instruction has been a learning experience for education officials, and Gill understands the importance of a comprehensive online program. He also recognizes the irreplaceable value of teachers in the classroom.

“I think that virtual learning as a technology in general provides an amazing opportunity, but nothing is going to ever replace the classroom teacher or that in-person

human interaction,” Gill said.

The past few months have forced educators to explore new methods of instruction in a changing and fluid situation.

“We’re glad we’ve been able to adapt, but face to face is always going to preferable because it allows for different nuances and hands-on instruction,” Gill said. “That does not imply that we will not continue to bolster our virtual learning opportunities.”

Gill credited students, parents, educators and the community for their commitment and dedication during the past 10 weeks.

“We thank them for their incredible partnership,” Gill said. “In so many ways, COVID-19 has brought out the best in people. I think this work has caused us to be reflective in so many ways— to pause and reflect on the things that are truly important.”

While the superintendent is anxious for a return to normal classroom settings, he doesn’t discount the lessons learned and acts of kindness he’s observed during the pandemic.

“This experience has been one that we will always remember. We truly are living through and making history,” he said.

Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, first published in 1915. Recall that this is now our current best model for gravity. It states that the presence of mass or energy warps space-time and determines the trajectories of planets and even light. The underlying math, while elegant, is also very advanced (it’s in the language of “tensor calculus”).

The hard work is teasing out a “metric” to actually describe the warp.

A common illustration reduces space to a 2-dimensional flat sheet of elastic material.

Masses placed on this sheet will distort it – the heavier the mass the more it stretches. Imagine a bowling ball in this model.

Now try to roll a marble across the sheet. In the vicinity of the bowling ball the marble’s path will curve. With some skill you can pick a speed and direction which will place the marble in orbit!

In 4-dimensional space time this curvature even affects light. If you shine a laser pointer across the room, the beam will actually fall below a straight trajectory. However, the amount it falls is less than the diameter of a proton so you’ll never see it. We need a large mass to measurably deflect the light, say light at grazing incident to the sun. This was first observed in 1919 during a solar eclipse.

Photographs of the star field around the eclipsed sun were compared with the same field from six months earlier. Stars appeared to shift their positions

by precisely the angle predicted by the theory.

That result catapulted Einstein from obscure scientist to global celebrity, with banner headlines proclaiming his ascension over Newton. That’s being a bit unfair to Newton, whose Law of Universal Gravitation still works over huge distances and perfectly describes the trajectories of falling bodies, planets, and spacecraft. It’s only in the extremes that we notice any differences.

(The deflections of starlight noted above were by a few seconds of angle.)

Next month we’ll discuss the effect of General Relativity on time itself.

Lunar phases for June: Full Moon on the 5th, at 3:12 p.m. accompanied by a penumbral lunar eclipse (we won’t see it!); Last Quarter on the 13th, at 2:24 a.m.; New Moon on the 21st accompanied by an annular solar eclipse (visible from parts of Africa, India, and China), at 2:41 a.m.; First Quarter on the 28th at 4:16 a.m. All times are Eastern Daylight.

Mercury is visible to the west in evening twilight until midmonth. Venus returns to predawn, rising at 5 am.. Mars rises at 1 a.m. and will be to the south around sunrise. Jupiter rises at 10 p.m. and crosses the meridian at 3 a.m., followed an hour later by Saturn (rise at 11, meridian crossing at 4).

Looking straight overhead at mid-month, about two

Metro Creative Connection

hours after sunset, you will find the constellation Bootes (the Herdsman). Its brightest star is Arcturus, about 20 degrees southwest of zenith.

To the northwest, handle high and almost vertical, you’ll see the familiar shape of the “Big Dipper” in Ursa Major. To the west, look for the familiar “sickle” of Leo. Its brightest star, the heart of the Lion, is Regulus, about 20 degrees above the horizon. Virgo lies to the southwest. Spica is its brightest star, about 20 degrees left of Saturn. Low to the south you will see Scorpio, with the bright red Antares about 20 degrees off the horizon. East and northeast, look for the Summer Triangle of three bright and widely spaced stars – Deneb, Vega, and Altair.

Cygnus, the Swan is to the northeast, with Deneb at about 30 degrees altitude. To the east, bright Vega marks Lyra, about 50 degrees from the horizon, and Altair in Aquila is below at about 20 degrees. The Summer Triangle will climb higher as we move through the long, hot summer.

Parsons’ Cause Foundation cancels 2020 Summer Series HANOVER -- The Board of Directors of the Parsons' Cause Foundation Inc. has made the difficult decision to cancel the 2020 Summer Series.

We know this development is a disappointment for many of you, our loyal patrons. It is a disappointment for us, too. However, after considering Virginia's phased re-entry guidelines, social distancing standards, and the com-

pactness of the Historic Hanover Courthouse, canceling the series is the only feasible and responsible conclusion.

We thank you for your past support of The Foundation's programs and we hope to see you at programs in the future. In the meantime, take care, stay safe, and may God bless.

Jones (Donna); four grandchildren, Madison “Lee” Jones, Brittany Jones Record (Kyle), Brandon D. Jones and Jasmine L. Jones; and a great-granddaughter, Lyla Parker Jones. He was preceded in death by his grandson, Ryland “Alex” Ford.

Frank was a builder in the Richmond area for more than 50 years and will be forever remembered for the exceptional quality of his homes. He was a man of integrity, who was true to himself and to his wife and family, as they were his heart and soul. Frank was the salt of the earth, always quick with a blue-eyed twinkle and wry joke. He will be greatly missed by his family and friends, but there is some comfort in knowing that he is now “sitting on a park bench and talking with his buddies.”

In lieu of flowers, please make contributions to a charity of your choice. A memorial service will be held at Hollywood Cemetery in June (to be determined).

Before marriage, he served four years in the U.S. Air Force. After working for his father at B.T. Crump, he and a friend started Northrun Saddlery, where he worked until 2017. There, he enjoyed selling equestrian equipment, attending shows and making friendships. He also enjoyed being with his buddies at Farrington Hunt Club and looked forward to deer hunting season each year. Going to the farm in Hanover on weekends to cut grass or just hang out were important and brought enjoyment to him. A private graveside service will be held.

grandson, Travis Grodski. She is survived by her husband, Otho Mitterer; her daughters, Darlene “Micky” Grodski and Marchelle Bentley (Alan); stepdaughter, Gayle Mitterer; and granddaughter, Ashley Schaeffer (Todd). Jenny worked many years as the judicial recording secretary for the State Corporation Commission until retirement in 1981. Tap and jazz dancing were her passions, which she pursued for 29 years, with the troupes “Cheers” and “Shuffles”. Affectionately known as “Gran Jenny,” she helped many children in dance. A highlight of her dance career was performing with Cheers for the annual Christmas tree lighting and arrival of Santa at the Jefferson Hotel in downtown Richmond. She took care of many people in her lifetime, and was a wonderful, caring caregiver to others. Fortunate to be loved by so many dear special friends, she will be dearly missed. The family received friends Monday, June 1, 2020, from noon to 2 p.m. at the Mechanicsville Chapel of Bennett Funeral Home, 8014 Lee-Davis Rd. A private burial will follow.

REST REST, Gregory Joel, 63, of Mechanicsville, Va., entered his eternal home last Saturday, May 23, 2020. He had been fighting the good fight with a neurological condition similar to multiple sclerosis.

He is survived by his very loving family: his wife, Sandi Binda Rest; and their two children, Julia Mary Frances Rest and Michael Robert Binda Rest; sister, the Rev. Dr. Kathryn Rest Thoresen (Thomas); brother-in-law, Dr. Robert Binda Jr. (Amy);

plus numerous cousins, nieces and nephews. He was preceded by his parents, the Rev. Heinrich Friedrich Johannes Rest and Mrs. Eleanor Riske Rest; sister, Margaret Rest Langford; brother, Dr. James R. Rest; father-in-law, Dr. Robert Binda; and motherin-law, Mary Frances Binda.

Greg graduated with honors and received a B.A. from the University of Michigan, attended graduate school at Stanford University and received a Ph.D. from Rand Graduate school for Public Policy Studies in California and spent most of his career as Chief Methodologist at JLARC (Joint Legislative Audit and Review Commission) for the state of Virginia. Much of his research has led to considerable improvement in lives across Virginia. Greg and Sandi met at Reveille United Methodist Church at their singles fellowship gathering. He and Sandi were later married in 1999 and did a lot of traveling together, including trips to Greece, Germany, England, Ireland and Hawaii where they swam with dolphins, Aruba, Mexico and Rome.

Together they created a faithfilled and fun-filled home. He also enjoyed classical music, the performing arts such as operas, plays and ballets, participating in bible studies and church functions, spending time with family, shopping on Amazon, exploring new types of technological gadgets (kindle fire being his favorite), traveling, telling jokes and riddles, warm weather, all types of food (especially sweets), running, audiobooks, exploring his family heritage, dogs, solitaire, visiting his family in Germany, wearing funky wigs/hats on Halloween and taking any opportunities he could to learn about himself, others and our world. In spite of a body that increasingly imprisoned him,

he led a good life, raising two amazing young children with Sandi, impacting people by his devotion and love for Christ despite hard circumstances, keeping people entertained with corny jokes and staying mentally sharp through audiobooks and documentaries online. He gave us a shining example of continued grace under fire. He was attentive and very present with all of us. A memorial service will be held at Woody Funeral Home, 9271 Shady Grove Rd., Mechanicsville, Va. 23116 on Wednesday, June 3, 2020, from 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. followed by a service in the chapel at 7 p.m. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the National Ataxia Foundation, 600 Highway 169 South, Suite 1725, Minneapolis, Minn. 55426 or https://ataxia.org.

She worked for Nabisco until her retirement, but remained an avid gardener and animal lover. She was a lifetime member of Immanuel Church, Old Church, a member of the Altar Guild and active with animal rescue groups.

She loved to travel to Edenton, N.C., her parent’s home and was a collector items of signif-

Council reviews revised budget

MARK GORMUS/TIMES-DISPATCH

Hickory Hill development off Route 54 in Hanover County offers its residents a rural setting and a “suburban family atmosphere.” Home prices range from $450,000 up to $1 million.

Homes continue to be built at the Hickory Hill development

By Sean Gorman Richmond Times-Dispatch About a decade after work started on the Hickory Hill residential development in the wake of the Great Recession, the Hanover County community of single-family homes and cul-de-sacs is about halfway finished.

Roughly 140 homes have either been built or are under construction at the development north of state Route 54 between Interstate 95 and U.S. 301, said Todd Rogers, co-founder of RCI Builders who leads a group of local investors spearheading the development of Hickory Hill.

The group bought 1,732 acres of the Hickory Hill estate for the project in 2007. Construction began in 2009.

The plans ultimately call for 277 homes on larger lots in a development that has 560 acres of common areas with 755 acres set aside in a see HICKORY, pg. 27

A S H L A N D – To w n Manager Josh Farrar presented what he hopes will be the final edition in a budget process that has had its fair share of challenges for a public hearing last week.

It’s a process that began in February with an unofficial budget hearing that gathered public input, followed by work sessions through the month of March interrupted by the introduction of the COVID19 crisis.

“Right in the middle of that we started dealing with the world as we know it now,” Farrar said. “That has dramatically changed things.That led us to completely re-write the budget, especially on the revenue side, and then trying to correspond our expenditures with what we’re seeing in reduction of revenues,” he added.

Farrar presented a $9,782,632 operating budget accompanied by a $6,313,258 Capital Projects Fund budget on April 21 and citizens were afforded an opportunity to speak on the proposed budget last week. By law, town council cannot vote on the proposed budget the same night as a public hearing is conducted.

“We’ll be asking you for a vote on the June 2 meeting,” Farrar told Council members.

The revised budget seeks to maintain current levels of service and protect the jobs of town employees.

Farrar described this stop gap budget as a way to “get through FY21 without ruining FY22.”

“We had to shift to trying to maintain what we had

before without expanding new projects or programs,” Farrar said. “I’m hope the town will be in a position to kind of rev out of that and help our business community come out of it,” he added.

Farrar said this budget is an attempt to prepare the Town for a robust recovery when the pandemic ends and the economy rebounds.

“I didn’t want to set us up too badly for FY22,” he said.

Maintaining services and salaries during the pandemic will require the use of $1,356,838 from the town’s Reserve Fund.

“It is our rainy day fund as well as our opportunity fund, and as we continue to think about the situation we are in, I don’t know if there is much more of a rainy day that could come about us than the one we are dealing with right now,” the town manager said. “If you’re not going to use it now, I don’t know what that right time would be,” Farrar added.

Using those reserve funds is a one-time remedy to the shortfalls. “We won’t be able to do that next year,” Farrar said.

He said he’s hoping for better than expected revenue returns that could lessen the need to use those reserve funds.

Early in the pandemic, several factors became evident that would affect the FY21 budget. There was a dramatic reduction in meals and lodging taxes that forced officials to delay new programs and capital projects.

The new Town Hall and community pool projects will not be affected by the budget revisions.

The greatly reduced revenues, cuts in expenditures and overall cost saving measures

all result from the pandemic and Farrar described the latest efforts in that vein.

“All in all it would be what you would expect in a pandemic. We’re going to see lower revenues so we’ve cut the expenditure side of the budget dramatically,” Farrar said.

He said the cuts could have been even deeper had the town not enjoyed a positive first three quarters of this financial year.

While sales tax revenues have not experienced dramatic reductions mainly due to continued high volume at grocery stores and other essential services, BPOL taxes will be affected in this fiscal year and the next.

Big picture, Farrar said,“We are projecting a reduction in both expenditures and revenues.”

He also noted the town’s history of spending less than expected in a given fiscal year that could also lessen the impacts of COVID-19. Even with the cuts, Farrar said the $9 million budget continues to maintain service and staffing levels, continues a branding and marketing effort and allows investment following the crisis.

“We are going to be here to serve you as we can,” Farrar said.

He urged council members to approve a retirement incentive program that could provide additional savings this year.

The program, approved by a unanimous vote, allows town officials to offer incentives to empolyees considering retirement that would time those departures in a way that would see BUDGET, pg. 16

Riverside Health System has resumed scheduled procedures Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com TAPPAHANNOCK -- As COVID-19 cases continue to stabilize across the region, Riverside Health System recently resumed scheduled, non-urgent surgeries and procedures. Those procedures and surgeries that were initially postponed due to COVID-19 are now also being rescheduled with priority.

“While we continue to closely monitor COVID-19, we are grateful to be able to reopen our operating rooms, as these procedures are often critical for the quality of life and well-being of so many in our community,” said Dr. Mike Dacey, Riverside's president and chief operating officer.

“We know postponing or delaying surgeries has been difficult, so we want to thank everyone for their patience over the past few weeks.

Our surgeons and teams are ready and excited to welcome these patients back and continue advancing our mission of improving the lives of our patients and communities.”

While Riverside has safely been performing critical and emergency surgeries during COVID-19, the organization is taking extra precautions to protect patients, team members and the community as scheduled procedures resume. These include: Regularly screening see RIVERSIDE, pg. 27

Employees who retire by September would be offered a $15,000 stipend of three months of salary, and those positions would remain unfilled.

“We’ve done the math and in all of those instances there are salary savings,” Farrar said.

Unknown factors remain such as what the state legislature will provide once they have a better understanding of the effects of the pandemic.

The town is also poised to receive COVID-19 aid to localities that could offset some shortfalls.

Only one person commented on the revised budget during the public hearing, citing concerns for parking along some sections of Center Stree that inhibit pedestrian traffic.

Summer sports leagues see uncertain season Some leagues cancel play, others hope to compete

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – The disruptions to normal life, in particular youth and recreational sports, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic will continue well into the summer.

Some rites of summer, such as American Legion baseball, have been cancelled outright. Others, such as Greater Richmond Aquatic League swimming, are on hold pending the timing of the rollout of phases in Gov. Ralph Northam’s Forward Virginia plan.

Right now, the Commonwealth is under Phase 1 of the easing of public health restrictions. While some aspects of pre-pandemic life have begun again, organized youth and recreational sports activities are still not allowed.

Some activities should be allowed to resume in Phase 2 of the plan, but details for that have yet to be released and, even so, would be implemented no earlier than Friday. Northam

20

Joel Klein for The Local

Whether or not the Greater Richmond Aquatic League holds a Champs tournament this year will depend on how quickly Virginia enters Phase 3 of Gov. Ralph Northam’s Forward Virginia guidelines for reopening in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

was expected to announce guidelines for the resumption of youth sports Tuesday after this edition went to press.

Amid all the uncertainty, some things are known.

American Legion baseball announced in April that all its 2020 World Series and all regional tournaments will be cancelled.

“These times are unparalleled. And while it is distressing to think of all those youth across the nation who are disappointed to learn of the cancellation of American Legion

The Mechanicsville Local

June 3, 2020

programs this year, it would be a much, much greater tragedy if even just one of those youth were to fall ill during a program,” said Americanism Commissioner Richard Anderson. “The Americanism Commission feels this is the right thing to do.”

The American Legion Department of Virginia likewise cancelled its season. This does not prohibit teams from playing, but there are restrictions.

“This precludes any team from using the ‘American

Legion Baseball’ name or association for the season.

Teams can conduct independent baseball operations when local and State governments give the ‘all clear’ and they will need to do this independent of Department program oversight,” the Department of Virginia announcement said.

Some teams, such as Powhatan Post 201, are trying to arrange some sort of season under another sanctioning body. Mechanicsville Post 175 will not be among them. Given the cancellation of the high

school baseball season, there was no way to scout potential members. And in the absence of a sanctioning body and the resulting difficulty of obtaining liability insurance required for the use of Hanover County baseball diamonds, the post decided to suspend operations for 2020.

Little League International announced at the end of April that it will likewise cancel its World Series and all regional tournaments for the 2020 season.

“This is a heartbreaking

decision for everyone at Little League International, but more so for those millions of Little Leaguers who have dreamt of one day playing in one of our seven World Series events,” said Stephen D. Keener, Little League President and CEO. “After exhausting all possible options, we came to the conclusion that because of the significant public health uncertainty that will still exist several months from now, and with direction from Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf and Secretary of Health Dr. Rachel Levine, as well as senior public health officials and government leaders from locations where our other six World Series are held, as well as the their qualifying regional tournaments, it will not be possible to proceed with our tournaments as we’ve hosted them for nearly 75 years.”

The Little League announcement left the door open for local-, district- and state-level competition: “As each state and community will have different guidance for resuming organized youth sports, Little League International strongly encourages volunteers to confirm with their local and state health officials that it is safe to do so before resuming Little League activity after May 11. These playing opportunities could see SUMMER, pg. 21

SUMMER Continued from pg. 20

include not only regular season activities, but opportunities for local district, and, perhaps, state all-star tournament play to provide players, especially those moving up to a new age division in 2021, a tournament experience, if possible and safe.”

The status of local, regional, and state Little League tournaments in Virginia should be determined after Gov. Northam’s expected announcement regarding the resumption of youth sports.

Travis Holt of Mechanicsville Little League said that, as of now, Little League District 5 does not plan to hold a sanctioned district tournament this year.

Local all-star teams may play in invitationals later in the year.

Holt said that Mechanicsville Little League plans to resume play sometime in late July or early August.

“The wellbeing of our players, families and volunteers is always our top priority. As we plan to take additional measures to ensure safety and prepare MLL’s Return to Play Policies, we have to put our community first,” the league wrote in an e-mail to members.

“MLL has decided to offer a season beginning in late July/ early August and ending early October. MLL’s goal is to open safely and in accordance with local/state guidance, while preserving the Little League experience.”

Holt said that about 70 percent of members expect to participate in a delayed 2020 season.

Other local Little League organizations plan to start sooner. Tuckahoe Little League may begin practices as soon as June 11 if circumstances permit. Atlee Little League’s Jamie Batten said that Atlee plans to begin practices no later than June 15, but may start up as soon as June 13 if allowed.

The Babe Ruth and Cal

Dave Lawrence/The Local

With the cancellation of the 2020 American Legion baseball season because of the pandemic, Mechanicsville Post 175 will not field a team this summer. Some area youth teams, such as Atlee and Mechanicsville Little Leagues, plan to hold local competitions.

Ripken Leagues have likewise cancelled their World Series and regional tournaments for 2020 to allow more time for state and local play, but it held open the option of having some kind of postseason tournament play later in the summer if con-

ditions permit.

“We know that many of you would still like to have additional tournament opportunities run by Babe Ruth League that resemble our Regionals and World Series events, if possible,” said Babe Ruth League

President and CEO Steven Tellefsen in a statement dated May 14. “We’re currently exploring options for later summer and even fall, but for now our primary focus is on local league and state play when safely available. As we

evaluate each week and as more states begin to start play, we will report back with future plans for the calendar year.”

Other youth sports will likewise be affected by the governor’s announcement. Currently, the Greater Richmond Aquatic

League does not plan to hold meets until the state enters Phase 3 of the Forward Virginia plan. Teams should be able to resume practices in Phase 2, however.

How meets may be conducted if and when they resume remains in question.

“They’re coming up with all types of plans, like … where we have a meet at our pool, they have the meet at their pool and then we combine the events,” said Burkwood head coach Karen Seeber.

This type of meet is not unprecedented. GRAL teams often do something similar when weather conditions interrupt or postpone regularly scheduled meets. Winners and scores are determined by comparing the times in each event.

Currently, GRAL plans to hold the first meet of the season

by June 19 if Virginia enters Phase 2 of the state’s reopening plan is completed by June 12. If Phase 2 is completed by June 19, the first meet of the season will be cancelled and the schedule will begin with the meet No. 2, which will have to be completed by June 26. If Phase 2 ends by June 26, meets 1 and 2 will be cancelled and the season will begin with meet No. 3, which will have to be completed by July 3.

If Phase 2 ends after June 30, the 2020 GRAL season will be cancelled.

Even if GRAL resumes action, the team landscape will be different. Some teams – mostly smaller teams – have already decided to suspend operations for the 2020 season.

Seeber said their swimmers will be allowed to compete for other teams without penalty, however.

Some Burkwood members compete as divers in the James River Aquatic Club. As of press time, JRAC has not announced its plans for the summer.

Pets of the Week Photos submitted by Andrew Hodnett

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has wonderful pets available to a good home. Gus, Animal ID# 575022, is a 5-year-old male hound. He has had his first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test positive. Gus is a sweetheart of a dog.

He came to the shelter last month as a stray. Gus has a lot of playful energy. He loves to run around and play with other dogs. He also is really good with people. Gus is still learning to walk on a leash but he is getting much better.

He will make a good dog for someone with a big yard for him to run. Junie, Animal ID# 575229, is a 2-year-old female domestic shorthaired feline. She has had her first set of vaccines

and is FELV/FIV test negative.

Junie is a great cat. She has been in the shelter for about two weeks now. Junie is very sweet with people. She keeps her living area very clean and is litterbox trained. Junie was more than likely an outdoor cat previously, but she is well adjusted to live indoors. She will make a great companion. For more information on these great pets, as well as the many more still in need of homes at the Hanover County Pound Facility, call 804-365-6485 during the day. The hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The facility is closed on Sunday and county holidays.

ODAC names Wandling 2020 Tennis Scholar-Athlete of the Year Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com FOREST — An already outstanding resume on and off the tennis court has added another impressive bullet point as senior Emily Wandling of Mechanicsville was named the Old Dominion Athletic Conference/Virginia Farm Bureau Insurance Women's Tennis Scholar-Athlete of the Year.

Wandling becomes the first Sweet Briar student-athlete to be named ODAC ScholarAthlete of the Year since equestrian student-athlete Elizabeth Hanbrough earned the honor in 2013.

Wandling is the first nonequestrian student-athlete from Sweet Briar to receive the conference award.

Carrying a 3.997 cumulative grade point average as a double-major in biochemistry and molecular biology, Wandling finished her four years on the courts as one of the most accomplished tennis student-athletes in Sweet Briar history.

During the 2018-2019 academic year, Wandling was recognized as an Academic All-District selection by the College Sports Information Directors Association and Academic All-State by the Virginia Sports Information Directors, while on the court earning Second Team AllODAC recognition at No. 1 singles.

Wandling became the first Vixen to be named All-ODAC in tennis since the 2014-15 season and the first in any

sport to earn CoSIDA academic recognition since the fall of 2003.

Wandling is on her way to being named a four-time ODAC All-Academic selection and is an Intercollegiate Tennis Association ScholarAthlete honoree.

The vice president of Sweet Briar's StudentAthlete Advisory Committee, Wandling serves as the captain of the Sweet Briar tennis team and serves as president for the Student Affiliate of the American Chemical Society.

Wandling presented on the "Extraction of Betulin and Synthesis of Betulin Analogue" at the National American Chemical Society Conference and helped plan Sweet Briar's "Brownie Science Day" — an event to inspire Girl Scouts to

study science.

A member of multiple honors societies, Wandling was one of the inductees to the inaugural class of the Virginia Omicron Chapter of Chi Alpha Sigma, the National College Athlete Honor Society.

On the court, Wandling finished 2020 with a 10-7 singles record and 13-3 doubles mark. Wandling concluded her four-seasons at Sweet Briar with a 49-30 career singles record and a doubles record of 38-39.

Wandling was on-pace to break Sweet Briar school records, currently held by Virginia Edahl (2006-10), for combined career singles and doubles wins, career singles wins and career doubles victories.

“For the most part, the common areas are undeveloped, and they really just give you another level of privacy,” Rogers said. “Hardly ever do you sit on your back porch and see another person’s back porch.”

It’s a neighborhood of homes that rest on 1- to 1.5-acre lots where residents value their privacy, said Rogers, adding that the community will eventually have about 9 miles of walking trails, which includes sidewalks as well as walking paths.

The development has a mix of farmhouse and Craftsman-style homes ranging in price from $450,000 up to $1 million.

The houses are in Hanover’s school district, a sought-after school system in the area, Rogers said. There’s also high-speed internet in the community, a service that can be tough to find in a rural setting, he said.

“Even though we’re considered a rural development, we have all the amenities of a suburban development,” said Rogers, who also is one of the co-owners of Hometown Realty.

Matt Farr, 40, said the schools were a draw when he and his wife moved to Hickory Hill about two years ago. The family has a secondgrader and a fourth-grader enrolled in Hanover Public Schools.

The family moved to Hickory Hill from Bluefield in rural Tazewell County in Southwest Virginia. Farr said he was drawn to the rural aspect of Hickory Hill, with its woods and larger lot sizes for homes.

With ample supplies, capacity and infection prevention protocols in place, we are fully prepared to resume scheduled procedures. We are also closely following guidance from the government and medical organizations, including the American College of Surgeons, to help us carefully plan and prioritize surgeries.”

Riverside will schedule postponed or deferred procedures based on each patient’s history, health status, surgery type and other considerations.

Riverside is actively contacting impacted patients through email, text and customized microsites to help them plan to schedule procedures.

Farr said they had been looking for a rural setting and a “suburban family atmosphere” when settling on their new home.

“You still have distance between neighbors, but you still have close neighbors” you know, Farr said of Hickory Hill.

Hickory Hill was in developers’ sights for decades, even before Rogers’ investment group purchased the land in 2007 that make up the development.

The property was once part of the Hickory Hill plantation owned for generations by the Wickham family, including Williams Carter Wickham, a Confederate general, according to the Virginia Department of Historic Resources.

A Florida-based developer in the late 1980s pursued a $1.2 billion plan to develop the 3,200acre parcel that included the plantation property.

That proposal called for 4,700 homes, 8.5 million square feet of office space, retail and light industrial centers and an 18-hole golf course, among other features.

It would have been the county’s largest development and one of the largest in the Richmond area.

As that plan was being considered, descendants of slaves who worked at the Hickory Hill plantation worried about the fate of a cemetery and slave quarters on that former plantation, according to a 1988 article in the Richmond News Leader.

The Florida developer’s plans eventually fizzled in 1990 when the developer withdrew, citing a weak real estate market and a lack of support to change the county’s comprehensive plan to help

Tuesdays A Commanders coffee is held from 10 to 11 a.m. at American Legion Post 90 at 17662 Beaver Dam Rd. in Beaverdam to dis-

pave the way for the massive project.

Rogers and his investment group bought 1,732 acres of the Hickory Hill estate for the new residential development.

Work started around 2009, Rogers said, but construction was slow in the beginning from the aftermath of the Great Recession of 2008 and 2009, he said.

Building activity in the development really started to progress in 2014, he said.

One of the most well-known properties at Hickory Hill is a 19th-century manor house and gardens that rest on a 50-acre lot that Rogers’ investment group sold to preservationist Shannon Pritchard.

Pritchard said in a recent interview that he bought the home so he could restore it, adding that it was in disrepair and had been used by an animal rescue group at the time he bought it.

“Everything had to be done. It hadn’t been updated since 1930. It had animals living in it.

It was being used as a kennel,” Pritchard said. “It required a total renovation from top to bottom.”

The Hickory Hill estate was occupied by federal forces during the Civil War, according to a 1974 nomination form to put the plantation on the National Register of Historic Places. Wickham was captured at the plantation by Union troops, as was Confederate Gen. W.H.F. “Rooney” Lee, the son of Robert E. Lee, according to the nomination form on the state Department of Historic Resources’ website.

The manor home was built in the 1820s, said the nomination form on the agency’s website.

The home burned in 1875, and the house was

rebuilt into the current brick building in a form that is “reminiscent of the antebellum period,” the agency’s website says.

Pritchard said that although the house was damaged by the fire, it didn’t completely burn down, adding that the home was lived in while it was rebuilt.

Pritchard has spent years restoring it, but he now plans to put the 7,400-square-foot home with a dozen fireplaces on the market.

The house along with its 50-acre grounds would be put up for sale at some point in the coming months when social distancing restrictions imposed during the coronavirus pandemic are loosened.

“It’s a brand-new house in a 200-year-old frame,” Pritchard said.

This year’s Homearama is slated to feature Hickory Hill.

Presented by the Home Building Association of Richmond, Homearama will showcase the sprawling development and the work of half a dozen homebuilders — RCI Builders, Eagle Construction of VA, LifeStyle Home Builders, Southern Traditions, Vertical Builders and PerrinCrest Custom Homes.

Danna Markland, the CEO of the homebuilding association, said organizers still hope to have Homearama in June showcasing six newly built homes at the Hickory Hill development, but the exact date has not been picked.

Markland said the group is weighing whether to have people come to Hickory Hill to tour the homes or whether they will instead have a virtual tour of the homes there.
