Supervisors OK FY2022 budget Peterson votes no over board’s failure to lower real estate tax rate By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local HANOVER -- The Hanover County Board of Supervisors approved a $513 million FY2022 budget and five-year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) last Wednesday with one member of the panel casting the sole dissenting vote. Mechanicsville District Supervisor Canova Peterson made his position clear at last month’s meeting by stating he could not support the proposed budget without an amendment that would have lowered the current real estate tax rate. Peterson contended that maintain-

ing the current rate represents a tax increase for those who can least afford it in the form of higher assessments on their property. For the past several years, Hanover County PETERSON assessments have increased, resulting in higher tax bills for residents and more revenue in county coffers. As the board prepared to approve the proposed budget following a motion by Vice Chair Angela Kelly-Wiecek, Chickahominy District, Peterson reiterated those concerns. “As I pointed out then, I would still like to see this budget amended to reduce it by

$3.2 million without touching the increases in pay and benefits for our employees,” Peterson said. “I think we can do that even if it has to come out of reserve.” Equating no increase in real estate tax rates to no new taxes for residents is somewhat of a misnomer, according to Peterson. “This budget is based on an 81 cents tax rate, which is the same rate we had last year,” he said “The state has a law that when reassessments take place and it increases taxes beyond a certain reasonable amount, the tax rate has to roll back unless the board makes a decision to increase it.” That required rollback would amount to 78 cents per $100 of assessed value, according to Peterson. “Anything we do today to increase that and move it back up to 81 cents . . . is not see BUDGET, pg. 8

IB programs will stay at all 4 high schools By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND -- Hanover County School Board members had planned a continued discussion of a plan to consolidate the county’s four International Baccalaureate (IB) programs to one centralized location at Atlee High School at last Tuesday’s meeting, but, as it turned out, no additional comments were needed. They decided no action was needed, and the current plan will remain in place with the four programs continuing at all county high schools. In

addition, IB classes will continue to be available to non-IB candidates. Two months ago, school officials unveiled a plan that streamlined the baccalaureate program and eliminated the availability of those program academic classes to IB students only. Currently, AP and other advanced students can enroll in IB classes, and program enrollees expressed their desire to maintain the status quo regarding outside of program students. Chair John Axselle, Beaverdam District, said the see IB, pg. 13

OPINION | The Local Views From the managing editor

The void only gets bigger with each passing year By Melody Kinser Managing Editor en years. Next Tuesday will be the 10th anniversary of the death of my sister Robin. Mom and I will go into Richmond to place flowers on her tombstone at Hollywood Cemetery. When family and friends were posting photos on April 10, designated as National Sibling Day, I couldn’t share one of my only sibling and me. My heart was already preparing for a major milestone in losing her. Robin had been ill for some time, and I knew we had limited time with her when Mom and I moved to the area. I appreciate

T

and cherish the extra time we had by coming to Virginia. I visited her and her husband Michael at least once a month during the three years I worked at The Winchester Star. That newspaper experience opened the door for my arrival here, and I’m very thankful for the opportunity I have been afforded with Richmond Suburban News. As April 27 nears, the memories have been more vivid of a relationship that evolved in various ways. Robin was the epitome of the older sibling -- always taking care of me, even when we were separated by many miles.

She left for Virginia Tech (then known as VPI) in the fall of 1969 at the age of 16, two months before her 17th birthday. I had celebrated my 13th birthday a few weeks before she headed to Blacksburg when she started her pursuit of higher education. Those four years between us seemed like many more at the time. Our interests were very different. She was the perfect child. To say I wasn’t is an understatement. I don’t know that she ever heard the dreaded words “Wait until your father gets home.” But, on a positive note, she did introduce me to the music of the 1960s. We did share some similarities in fashion.

I was thrilled when she came home for a visit with a body suit and hip hugger jeans with a macrame belt (macrame was a big deal in the 1970s) and let me wear them to school. I thought I was too cool. As we aged, we became close, sharing confidences, making memories with travel, and spending time together. Robin was in a coma for several days before the end came. I talked to her, held her hand, and told her I loved her. Mom and I were with Michael when she took her last breath. Her passing has left a void that can never be filled.

Memories of amusement parks where the fat lady did sing By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist I think it must be part of growing old that one compares everything new to the way things used to be. As a young child, I used to marvel at stories of old beaches, towns, automobiles or anything else that wasn’t around anymore. Now I find myself in that situation of being a witness to things that are no more. The list grows longer

in my mind each year that passes, but, thankfully, I don’t dwell on it. I always try to maintain the possibility in my mind that something new could be actually an improvement over an older version. Another reminder of this genetic philosophy recently came up when my family was considering vacation options for the upcoming summer. Now, anyone who has attempted to book a cottage at the beach or a trip to the mountains has been met with

the unpleasant reality that 2021 could be a record year for Americans hitting the road. I searched online for suitable options, none of which seemed to check all the boxes for our family. Looking at the online brochures, I was unimpressed with the sameness of some of the theme parks, none specifically. But, most had an homogenized predictability in the attractions, and a uniform atmosphere, family-friendly, of course.

As a child, we only visited two theme parks on a regular basis. We took the boat from Washington to a forgotten place on the Potomac called Marshall Hall. The boat ride was excitement enough, and an old Navy steamer seemed like a large ocean-goer to the many youths on the voyage. The boat first stopped at Mount Vernon and many of the passengers disembarked for the famous home of the first president. What remained

was a rambunctious group of kids and exhausted parents who couldn’t get that boat moving fast enough for the next stop: Marshall Hall. By today’s standards, Marshall was a small park with a rickety old roller coaster that scared me to death. What it did have was the authentic smell and feel of an amusement park, complete with barkers, sideshows, a real Merry-Go-Round and some of the best snow cones found in the D.C. area. Marshall was a treat, but, without the boat ride, it couldn’t hold a candle to Glen Echo. The streetcar dumped you right at the gate of the popular park in suburban Virginia. The entrance was an overwhelming visual experience with the brightly painted art deco buildings, the flowering gardens and the pièce de résistance, the famous Glen Echo Coaster Dips. Glen Echo also featured a novel addition at the time, a large swimming pool complete with flowing fountain in the center. see MEMORIES, pg. 8


Hillcrest Baptist to break ground Sunday on new sanctuary By Melody Kinser Managing Editor HANOVER – A bequest designating that the funds be used for the building of a new sanctuary will come to fruition on Sunday with a groundbreaking at the Hillcrest Baptist Church. The ceremony will begin at noon on April 25 following regular morning services at the church, which is located at 11342 Hillcrest Rd. in Hanover. Dr. Clarke Hawkins has been pastor at the church for 10½ years. “Before I came here someone passed away and bequeathed via a will that

money would be used specifically for the building of a new sanctuary,” he said. The congregation talked about the possibility before he arrived but had not taken action on a new sanctuary. He said he would hear conversations among members about the pending project. “We plugged along, and, in about 2019, the church put together a Planning Committee to consider different aspects of building such as feasibility. No questions were off the table,” Hawkins said. Discussions included building a new sanctuary as an outreach project. “The Planning Committee decided that we should go

In June 2019, Huff Morris was contracted to design the sanctuary. “The Planning Committee decided on one drawing, one design, and the next step was to present it to the church and that was done on March 15, 2020,” the pastor said. “The church approved overwhelm-

ingly to move forward to build a new sanctuary. The ironic thing is that March 15 of 2020 was the last Sunday that we met together because of COVID-19 restrictions that went into place -- but we didn’t stop, persevered, and kept doing church.” Despite the inconveniences caused by the coronavirus, it did not dampen the enthusiasm and spirit of the church. “The church body at Hillcrest has been very impressive,” Hawkins said. “The responsibility then moved to the Sanctuary Committee and interviewing construction companies.

a change in the tax rate, but it’s a 3.5% increase in the taxes on our citizens,” he said. Although the amount might seem insignificant, Peterson said Hanover County residents have endured a challenging year and any increase sends the wrong message. “We have been through a terrible pandemic and we are still going through a pandemic,” he said. “The private sector has suffered much more than the public sector in terms of the impact of that and I do not think, or cannot in good conscience, say that we could move forward with this budget while raising taxes on the people who have suffered the most in this pandemic.” Ashland Supervisor Faye Prichard expressed support for the proposed budget as presented by County Administrator John Budesky. “There’s no doubt in my mind that Mr. Peterson’s motion is well intended and takes into consideration the lives of our citizens, but the reality is that the budget cut that Mr. Peterson calls for will actually provide very little relief for individual citizens, almost not meaningful to the

very citizens that he wishes to help while at the same time taking over $3 million out of the budget, meaning that for a longer period of time we will have to say no to our citizens,” Prichard said. The FY2022 proposal provides salary increases for all county employees, including teachers, and funds efforts to correct compression in some salary scales, a vital element in keeping the county competitive in the metro area. “We deserve the best sheriff ’s deputies, the best teachers, the best firefighters, and if we can’t pay for them, we won’t have them,” Prichard added. She also noted other needs that continue to go unmet even with the proposed budget. “We deserve at some point and time to be able to provide the citizens of this county with broadband internet, which every citizen asks for, at least improved, every day,” Prichard said. She said she was not ready to remove funds from this proposal that could provide relief in areas like broadband to citizens. “Until we can pay for that, we can’t do that, and I would not want to trade any amount of money that will arguably not bring to the most needy in this county very much relief while

taking away from the others in this county things that we hold out as our goals for the future,” she concluded. Kelly-Wiecek pointed to the “stalwart” reputation the county enjoys regarding fiscal responsibility and said the proposed budget continues “to invest in our people.” Addressing pressing needs like salary compression could not be addressed if the funding was cut, according to KellyWiecek, and she said keeping the current tax rate is vital to managing the county’s ongoing debt, both long- and shortterm. “We need to make sure we are being thoughtful, both in the short- but in the longterm,” Kelly-Wiecek said. “I do not wish to become a training ground for other localities that are paying more.” She voiced support for targeted assistance to citizens who display a need. “If there are opportunities where we can do some targeted assistance to people in our community who need some very specific help, I’m the champion on that and I will stand right next to Mr. Peterson on that.” Board Chair Sean Davis, Henry District, also voted in favor the proposed budget, admitting the document “does

not meet every need.” “As policy setters, we have to focus on priorities,” Davis said. “We have a duty to maintain service levels . . . to make sure we are implementing the requirements and demands from our citizenry.” He said one of his biggest concerns is in the capital improvement area where the list of needs constantly grows and the price tag for those projects increases dramatically. Davis noted a report from 2018 outlining the need to replace or renovate a number of Hanover schools, saying it is now “irrelevant” due to price increases since the study was issued. “The indexes have gone through the roof,” he said. He said funding capital projects like a new fire station in Mechanicsville and continuing funding challenges like salary compression are vital to the county’s future success and ensures the county will continue to attract and retain the best employees. “When it comes to government employees, particularly in Hanover, you don’t want to be the least competitive. You don’t want the lowest bid person responding to your citizens needs on a daily basis.”

den. It hardly shook at all as the clean cars rounded curves made of neatly shaved salt treated lumber. The feeling on the first dip was the same one as I’d felt as a child on the Dips, the victim of my mother’s persuasion for me to try her passion as an avid coaster fan. But the surroundings were different from the ones on the hills overlooking the Potomac or that then-isolated

Glen near Cabin John Bridge. I believe my children probably have the same admiration, for say, Disney World, as I have for Glen Echo and Marshall Hall. Reminding them of the differences would serve no purpose, and there’s no lesson to be learned from personal remember whens. But, for those lucky enough to have walked down sidewalks leading to Glen Echo or

exiting the boat at the Pier at Marshall, the images are unforgettable and will always represent Amusement Park to us. When it’s really quiet, I can still hear that big lady with the rosy cheeks sitting in a big, elevated red chair, laughing at everyone who entered the gates at Glen Echo. It brings me back to a time of great summer fun and adventure at two historic amusement parks.

Art teacher named 2020-2021 HCPS Innovator of the Year ASHLAND -- Maia Bayuzick, the art teacher at Washington-Henry Elementary School, has been named the 2020-2021 Hanover County Public Schools Innovator of the Year. The award seeks to encourage and empower teachers to transform learning by continuously challenging, inspiring, and engaging students using new and relevant ideas. Bayuzick, who recently was surprised with the award at WHES by Dr. Michael Gill, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools, and other special guests, received $1,000 from the Hanover Education Foundation. She plans to use the money to expand her knowledge of integrating the arts across curriculum by taking a course through the Institute of Arts Integration and STEAM in Maryland.

This is Bayuzick’s fourth year teaching in Hanover County Public Schools. “Receiving this recognition has been incredible! My colleagues and students inspire me to be innovative, so I am proud to represent WHES and our school community,” Bayuzick said. “Without the support from my administration and colleagues, I wouldn't have felt as comfortable to try new things. I am excited to continue to push my instruction and grow as an educator!” Bayuzick’s classroom innovation is exemplified through a project she led with her fifth grade students this year. Knowing that she wanted to teach a digital art lesson while incorporating foundational knowledge, such as how computers display images, the project focused on students making their own animated pixel GIF. Students peer-mentored one another

throughout the lesson and shared what they knew with the class. “Each student created an animated GIF that was absolutely unique to who they are as an artist, and I got to stand back and support their vision,” she said. “To me, this project was a perfect example of innovation since it allowed students to use their own voice to show what they know, connected students together (both in the classroom and between classrooms), and provided a safe space for risk-taking.” Washington-Henry Elementary School Principal Lisa Thompson said Bayuzick inspires students through the vehicle of art. “In her lessons, she evokes sensory experiences, which stimulates creativity in her students,” Thompson said. “She encourages them to examine themselves introsee INNOVATOR, pg. 13

board heard those concerns from parents and students and announced a consensus to table the plan and continue on the current path regarding IB. At the board’s direction, Dr. Bob Staley and Dr. Steve Castle conducted a study of the current IB program and presented their recommendations earlier this year. In addition to consolidating the four IB programs to one location, the plan excluded non-IB candidates’ access to classes. But, it was immediately apparent that board members had concerns and further discussion was needed. At a March school board meeting, a number of Hanover County Public Schools IB students spoke against the proposed changes. Current IB student Alissa Parker said she had “zero regrets” regarding her decision to enter the program and said her experience in IB has well prepared for her for future endeavors. She also pointed to the bonds formed with classmates and teachers at the individual programs. “We laugh and cry together,” she said.

spectively as artists and to use

Had the program not been available at her home school, Parker said she would not have pursued the option if it required travel to another campus and leaving her friends behind. Board members delayed a decision last month and moved this month’s scheduled discussion up to the first item considered on the agenda. The board was faced with three options, including one that, in essence, did nothing and left the current programs in place; or the board could adopt a plan that consolidated the programs to one central location at Atlee High School and excluded non-IB candidates from course offerings. A third option would maintain the IB program at all four schools but limit their access to IB candidates only. South Anna District representative Kelly Evko suggested that no action be taken and the current IB programs be maintained, a move that required no action. Her colleagues agreed, but some hinted at a willingness to reconsider changes in the future. Chickahominy District representative Bob Hundley concurred with fellow board members that the timing was not right for change at present, but acknowledged the need for

future discussions regarding the program. “I want to concur with the consensus of the board in taking no action tonight,” Hundley said. “I did want to acknowledge that taking no action does, in fact, have a cost and I’m not talking about a financial cost . . . but the effect of the continuation of the system as we know it.” Hundley acknowledged the efforts of administrators who devised the new plan under consideration at the request of board members. “The proposal that was brought to us by Dr. Staley and Dr. Castle has merit. The work that was done to put that proposal together was good work and was done with good intentions and for the betterment of students in Hanover County,” he said. Hundley said the IB program functions well with more students that supply a diverse experience for candidates. “I do agree that now is not the time to make that move,” he said. “I do believe that a robust cohort of IB students working and learning together, challenging each other is the intent of the IB program and having a diminished number of those students in each school, in my mind, is less of the ideal program.”

“I think the proposal has merit. I’m just not prepared to make the move at this point,” Hundley concluded. Mechanicsville District representative Sterling Daniel also commended the efforts to provide alternatives to the current program. “The group did this at the direction of the board and I think it’s a healthy thing to always be looking at the programs and activities you are conducting in the school division and looking at any ways to improve them and they brought back some suggestions . . . and that’s certainly good for us to consider,” Daniel said. “I don’t think it’s time right now to make this change, but that’s not to say somewhere down the road we don’t look at it again.” Axselle commended the efforts of the many students, teachers and parents who came forward to express opposition to any changes in the program and said the board heard those concerns. “I’d like to thank all of the young people and adults too who came and spoke to us last time,” Axselle said. “This is another example where the board does listen to our community and does seriously consider when the community speaks. We seriously look at

and consider what is brought to us by the community. We strive to represent you in the decisions we make.” Following the board’s decision to take no action, all four county high schools will continue to offer IB programs. “The IB program will remain at all four high schools, both as a full diploma option for students or to take individual classes,” Superintendent Michael Gill said. “In other words, it will remain as is.” In other news, there may be good news on the horizon regarding the 2021 gradation. Gill said the county continues to finalize plans but said he’s pleased with how relaxed restrictions on the attendee capacity will affect those plans. “What I can say is that our graduation team led by by Dr. Bob Staley has been doing incredible work and we do hope people will be patient just a little longer as we will have an announcement within the next week,” Gill said. “I do think people will be pleased. I am extremely pleased with the work our graduation team has done. So, a few more days and we will be able to communicate our plans to celebrate the Class of 2021.” An announcement is expected this week.

County teams lead way in XC regionals By Rob Witham for The Local MECHANICSVILLE – It was a good afternoon to be a defending champion Thursday at Pole Green Park. At the delayed 2020 Region 4B cross country championships, the Hanover girls and Mechanicsville boys each repeated as team champions, while a freshman sensation from 2019 ran away from the competition, and, fighting Father Time, did something one rarely does: defeat him. Sophomore Alli Crytser, who led by a sizable margin after a mile, reached the finish line in a time of 17:59.90 to claim the individual region championship. Freshman teammates Hannah Clarke and Lizzy Tierney placed fifth and ninth respectively, helping Hanover best King George for the team championship with 43 points to the Foxes’ 60. “I set up splits for myself to run and try and race the clock,” Crytser said when asked how one paces themselves when they enjoy a large lead on the competition. “I just wanted to go sub 18 (minutes) on this course because a lot of girls haven’t, so I thought it would be a pretty good time to hit on this course, especially coming into the state meet.” Crytser, who finished in 18:10.80 in her 2019 triumph, glanced at the clock to her left at the finish line with a few yards to go, that goal just barely in reach. Once confirmed, she could take a moment to appre-

Cavaliers repeat as region golf champions By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – King William coach Jay Blanton may have paid for the day with a icewater dunking, but his soggy drive home from Queenfield Golf Club in Manquin on April 12 was worth it as his Cavaliers, for the second straight season, won the Region 2A golf team championship. King William, along with several Hanover County golfers, played this week in their respective state championship tournaments. The Cavaliers advanced to the Virginia High School League Class 2 championships at the Pete Dye River Course in Blacksburg. They were joined in state play by Hanover’s Andrew Wilkinson, Patrick Henry’s Dan Ailor, and Atlee’s Jack Miller. Wilkinson and Ailor qualified as individuals for the VHSL Class 4 championships at Glenrochie Country Club in Abingdon, while Miller advanced to the Class 5 championships at Williamsburg National Golf Club in Williamsburg.

and Patrick Henry golfers had a pair of tournaments last week. First the Region 4B South tournament at Mill Quarter Plantation in Powhatan on April 12, then the Region 4B championships at Mattaponi Springs in Ruther Glen Wednesday. By the time the two tournaments were over, Hawk senior Andrew Wilkinson and Patriot junior Dan Ailor advanced to

today,” Puleo noted after the run. “With COVID and everything that’s happened, with going to school in person and the potential of being quarantined, I was just grateful to compete today.” Puleo’s ability to truly savor the moment reflected the feeling of so many competitors. Overcoming adversity is a trait she has learned early, and will serve her well going forward. “Just getting through that,

having my family and friends support me, and really just having that mindset that every opportunity I get, to go for it and not take any moments for granted,” she said. Senior Kali Dennehy led Patrick Henry’s effort, finishing fourth in 21:11.30, while Puleo’s teammate, sophomore Abby Hughes, took sixth place for Mechanicsville. The boys’ race came down to the wire in both the indi-

vidual and team championships, as Patrick Henry’s Luke Taylor clocked in at exactly 16 minutes, just two-tenths of a second behind winner Nicholas Emmert of Louisa. Teammates Trevor Mason (16:11.70), Alex Davis (16:40.30) and Michael Leff (16:49.90) finished fourth, eighth and ninth. But Mechanicsville, led by senior Grayson Clark’s fifth place run of 16:22.10, was able to place six runners in the top

states, with Wilkinson shooting a 1-under-par 71 to finish as runner-up to Monacan’s Quint Dingledine in the region final. Ailor finished fifth with a 5-over 77 and qualified for states as the third-highest individual. Atlee head coach John Corbin said that Miller had to do extra work to qualify for the state tournament.

“He actually had to go to a playoff the other day with [Justin LaRue] from Matoaca to see who got that third-place spot in States,” Corbin said. “Jack ended up making Birdie on the second playoff hole to get in to state. I think he’s just excited to be there as a senior.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

17 – just enough to defeat their oldest county rivals 45-47 to repeat as region champions. “We knew what we needed to do, what points we needed to grab, so I was just trying to pick up every single point that I could,” Taylor explained of the Mustangs’ team-first mindset. Along with the Hanover girls, the Patriots and Mustangs will compete for a Class 4 state title this Saturday at The Oatlands in Leesburg.

The Atlee boys went out winners in the Region 5B finals held earlier in the day, capturing the team championship in their final regional meet before moving to Region 4B this fall. The Raiders scored 51 to runner-up Glen Allen’s 57. Sophomore Travis Albon, a 31st-place finisher in 2019, shaved over a minute from his finishing time to place second

Bowman leads last, finishes 1st in Cup race By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor RICHMOND – Denny Hamlin led 207 of the 400 laps of the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond Raceway Sunday. Martin Truex Jr. led 107 laps and Joey Logano led 49 laps. Alex Bowman led just 10 laps of the race, but it was those 10 laps, especially the last one, that counted as the driver of the No. 48 Ally Chevrolet slipped past Hamlin’s No. 11 FedEx Express Toyota after the last restart and held off the Manchester native for the victory. Joey Logano, in his No. 22 Shell Penzoil Ford, had been in the lead and trying to hold Hamlin off on Lap 382 when Kevin Harvick’s No. 4 Hunt Brother’s Pizza Ford blew a tire in Turn 1 and hit the wall. Hamlin beat Logano out of Pit Road during a final pit stop during the caution and jumped out in front on the return of the green flag in Lap 388. But Bowman, who was in third on the restart, wasn’t going to be denied. He edged Logano, wasn’t fazed by Hamlin’s efforts to keep him from getting by, took the lead in Lap 391 and kept Hamlin in his rear-view mirror the rest of the way. He was surprised by the final result. “We were pretty awful on short runs all day,” Bowman said. “To be honest with you, the caution came out, I was like, ‘Man, we’re going to struggle to get out of here with a top five.’ I felt like we had such an amazing long run car, but really struggled on the short runs. “We took off. My strong suit all day was being able to get into the corner really deep. I was able to get in deep, aside Denny. I knew I had the preferred lane and could probably clear him. I kind of figured he would get right back to me and be faster

Hamlin finished second, followed by Logano, Christopher Bell, and Martin Truex Jr. Aric Almirola, William, Kyle Busch, Matt DiBenedetto and Austin Dillon rounded out the top 10. Hamlin still has a substantial lead in points standings. After Sunday’s race, he is 81 points ahead of Truex and 82 ahead of Logano.

“Our strong suit was the last 30 laps of a 50-lap run. Alex said it was tight taking off. The multiple times you lose spots on restarts, you try to figure out what adjustment you need to make to make it happen.

I would say majority of the time these races come down to restarts at the end of the race with a handful of laps to go,” Ives said. “You have that adjustment in your mind that you’re going to use. Until it happens,

you never know it’s going to work. . . . We have the ability to make an adjustment, to allow us to take advantage of – shift our strength of our car towards – the front of the run versus the end of the run.”

Nemechek beats boss to win Toyota Care 250 By Nick Vandeloecht Richmond Suburban News RICHMOND – Fending off a strong challenge from his Kyle Busch Motorsports teammate and truck owner Kyle Busch, John Hunter Nemechek, who shifted over to the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series following his 2020 rookie season in Cup, wheeled his No. 4 Safeway Toyota to victory in Saturday’s caution-filled ToyotaCare 250 at Richmond Raceway for his second win of the season and eighth in his Truck Series career. “I just can’t thank Kyle, everyone at Toyota, all of our great partners. It’s pretty cool to be able to come out here and do what we did,” Nemechek said in his televised post-race interview. “We had a really fast truck. I’m super proud of all my guys and thankful for all them.” Nemechek led 114 of the 250 laps at the 0.75-mile D-shaped short track and was strong on restarts, which proved key in a race filled with 11 cautions, including nine for incidents and seven in the final 110-lap stage alone. Nemechek made the winning pass with 17 laps to go as he overtook his KBM teammate Chandler Smith with a pass down low that he completed going into Turn 1. He also took the lead away from Busch to win the second stage. He was a couple of car lengths away from sweeping the stages, but last year’s Richmond race winner Grant Enfinger fended off his hard charge to win the opening 70-lap segment. Saturday’s win was a bounceback effort for Nemechek, who crashed out of the previous event, the Pinty’s Truck Race on Dirt at Bristol Motor Speedway, after contact from Matt Crafton spun him up near the wall, and

In his three starts in trucks this season, Busch has finished no worse than second. KBM was en route to a 1-2-3 finish before Tyler Ankrum passed Smith late in the race and went on to finish third.

The point itself marked a turning point in the match, even though the rest of set two and all of set three was pretty even in play. That’s what you’d expect between two unbeatens.

Atlee, Mechanicsville fall in regional finals HENRICO – After a season of beating upon each other, the delayed 2020 field hockey season comes to an end for Hanover County’s teams. Atlee and Mechanicsville each qualified for their respective regional tournaments, and each reached their region finals, but both fell in hard-fought losses. The fourth-seeded Raiders fell 2-0 to second-seed Deep Run in the Region 5B final and Henrico High School Friday, while the second-seeded Mustangs lost to fourth seed and host Warhill 2-1 Thursday. The Raiders began their week with a 6-0 thrashing of sixth-seed Glen Allen in a Region 5B quarterfinal on April 14. The semifinals, originally scheduled for Wednesday, were postponed a day, and Atlee upset the region’s top seed, Midlothian, 5-4. But when the Raiders faced the Wildcats Friday, they struggled to find an open path to the goal. “Deep Run played a really good game,” said Atlee head coach Heather Hodges. “We Dave Lawrence/The Local Atlee midfielder Lilian Chamberlain (6) tries to battle around the Deep Run defense for a goal in the fourth-seeded Raiders’ 2-0 loss did not take advantage of the opportunities that we did have. to the second-seeded Wildcats in the Region 5B field hockey championship at Henrico High School Friday.

… They had a very strong defense. They kept it out of the circle really well.” Outside of the first quarter in which the Wildcats scored both of their goals, the Raider defense, anchored by goalkeeper Marissa Perry, likewise did a pretty good job of keeping the ball out of the circle and being more disciplined. “Our goalie played well,” Hodges said. “Last night (against Midlothian) we had a lot of defensive corners. An improvement we made tonight is that we did not have nearly as many defensive corners, which is good. In the Region 4B tournament, the Mustangs began their week with a 2-1 win over thirdseeded Powhatan in a region semifinal. Mechanicsville lost to Warhill by an identical score. “It was kind of a frustrating evening,” said Mechanicsville head coach Merridee Gibson. “But, yes, I think the girls played a great game so did Warhill. So it was a it was a tough way to end the season but a good game.” Mustang forward Lilly Lutton weaved through the Lion defense for a goal in the first quarter.

county and into the playoffs. “We were familiar with the other teams in our region from previous years,” Hammock said. “We tried to focus on our past experience and knowledge to be ready. Our coaches are very experienced in playoff situations, so they knew what would work to get us ready.” A Hammock kill in the middle won set point in the third set, and the Raiders stormed

to a 6-1 lead in the fourth and final set. At 10-5, Atlee scored six of the next seven points for a 16-6 advantage, forcing Mills Godwin to take its final timeout. An ace on match point put the exclamation point on the Raider performance. Hammock had eight kills, three aces and four blocks in the championship win, while Harris added 20 digs and an ace. Brianna Brown had a combined 72 assists in the Raiders’ quarterfinal win over Deep Run and semifinal triumph over the Trojans.

“Most of our talks and practices were directed towards what we could do as a team to physically and mentally prepare ourselves for the tough threegame week,” Hammock said. Atlee returns to familiar territory, having last appeared in the Class 5 state semifinals in 2018 in a loss to First Colonial. In Ashland Thursday, fourtime defending state champion Patrick Henry came back from both a second set deficit and a third set defeat to win in four sets over Maggie Walker for its fourth straight sectional

title. Patrick Henry’s first state crown, in 2016, was in the Class 5 classification. After winning set one 25-18, the Patriots fell behind 15-11 in the second set. Down 20-16, Patrick Henry (11-1) won four straight points to tie the set, finally taking the lead 23-22 before surviving 25-23.

Community members can contact the district’s call center, 804-365-3240, to get assistance with finding a provider who can vaccinate those ages 16 and 17. Those who live in Hanover, Goochland, New Kent or Charles City also can fill out the Chickahominy Vaccine Clinic Availability Survey and receive an appointment via email. This interest form also is available on the Hanover County website. “While many residents in our community have already received at least one dose of the vaccine, we continue to encourage everyone to get it,” said Dr. Tom Franck, Chickahominy Health District director. “Now, all adults are eligible to do their part to protect themselves and the people they care about.” Information submitted by Tom Harris, Hanover County public information officer.

Last State Restricted Silver Walking Liberty Bank Rolls go to VA residents Virginia residents get first dibs on last remaining Bank Rolls loaded with U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties dating back to the early 1900’s some worth up to 100 times their face value for just the $39 minimum set for state residents - non state residents must pay $ 118 per coin if any remain after 2-day deadline STATE DISTRIBUTION: A strict limit of 4 State Restricted Bank Rolls per VA resident has been imposed VIRGINIA - “It’s a miracle these State Restricted Bank Rolls even exist. That’s why Hotline Operators are bracing for the flood of calls,” said Laura Lynne, U.S. Coin and Currency Director for the National Mint and Treasury. For the next 2 days the last remaining State of Virginia Restricted Bank Rolls loaded with rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties are actually being handed over to Virginia residents who call the State Toll-Free Hotlines listed in today’s newspaper publication. And here’s the best part. If you are a resident of the state of Virginia you cover only the $39 per coin state minimum set by the private National Mint and Treasury, that’s fifteen rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued Silver Walking Liberties worth up to 100 times their face value for just $585 which is a real steal because non state residents must pay $118 per coin which totals $1,770 if any coins remain after the 2-day deadline. “Recently National Mint and Treasury spoke with a retired Treasurer of the United States of America who said ‘In all my years as Treasurer I’ve only ever seen a handful of these rarely seen Silver Walking Liberties issued by the U.S. Gov’t back in the early 1900’s. But to actually find them sealed away in State Restricted Bank Rolls still in pristine condition is like finding buried treasure. So anyone lucky enough to get their hands on these Bank Rolls had better hold on to them,’” Lynne said. “Now that the State of Virginia Restricted Bank Rolls are being offered up we won’t be surprised if thousands of Virginia residents claim the maximum limit allowed of 4 Bank Rolls per 22

JACKPOT: Imagine finding the 1919-D Silver Walking Liberty shown above worth thousands of dollars in collector value in one of these unsearched Bank Rolls. There are never any guarantees, but Virginia residents who get their hands on these State Restricted Bank Rollss will be the really luckky ones because even more common coins aare 5still worth up to $115 $825 in collector value.

of these coins date clear back to the early 1900’s and are worth up to 100 times their face value, so there is no telling what Virginia residents will find until they sort through all the coins,” Lynne went on to say. The only thing Virginia residents need to do is call the State Toll-Free

Hotlines printed in today’s newspaper publication before the 2-day order deadline ends. “Rarely seen U.S. Gov’t issued silver coins like these are highly sought after, but we’ve never seen anything like this before. According to The Official Red R1018R-2

BCMS to address depression and suicide Educational Lecture Series slated Monday MECHANICSVILLE -- Bell Creek Middle School is offering depression awareness and suicide prevention education as part of the SOS Signs of Suicide® Prevention Program. The SOS Program lesson will be conducted during 7th grade ACE classes on April 27-30. The program encourages students to seek help if they are concerned about themselves or a friend. The SOS Program is the only youth suicide prevention program that has demonstrated an improvement in students’ knowledge and adaptive attitudes about suicide risk and depression, as well as a reduction in actual suicide attempts. Listed on Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration’s National Registry of Evidence-based Programs and Practices, the SOS Program has shown a reduction in self-reported suicide attempts

by 40-64% in randomized control studies (Aseltine et al., 2007; Schilling et al., 2016). Our goals in participating in this program include: z To help our students understand that depression is a treatable illness z To explain that suicide is a preventable tragedy that often occurs as a result of untreated depression z To provide students education on how to identify serious depression and potential suicide risk in themselves or a friend z To impress upon youth that they can help themselves or a friend by taking the simple step of talking to a trusted adult about their concerns z To teach students who they can turn to at school for help, if they need it In ACE classes the week of April 27-30, Bell Creek Middle School counselors, the school social worker, and school psycholo-

gist are collaborating to provide this prevention program. Students who self-identify as needing additional support will be contacted within 24 hours after receiving instruction. Parents will be contacted if additional support is needed for their child. You can find a sample information and videos from the program at: www.sossignsofsuicide.org/parent Opt out letters are being distributed through ACE classes this week, April 12-16. If you do not wish your child to participate in the SOS Program in school, complete the form and return it to Bell Creek Middle School to the attention of Caroline Augustin, 7th grade school counselor. There is no need to sign and return this form if your child is participating. Information submitted by Chris R. Whitley, Hanover County Public Schools public information officer.

Buying your first home can be a stressful ordeal, but Erik made the process as stress free and exciting as possible. His main focus is you, the customer. He listens to your needs and will work 200% to ensure you get the results you desire. In order to get the best, you have to work with the beast and Erik is without a doubt the best Realtor out there. He is committed, knowledgeable and most important always readily available. You will not be disappointed.

Erik went above and beyond to help us find a new home when a sudden job change moved us away. His estimations were spot on and his extensive experience made for a seamless home selling and buying experience. He did an outstanding job negotiating on our behalf and handling the details so we could focus on our personal logistics of uprooting and moving our family to a new location. His genuine personal investment and enthusiasm was apparent throughout the entire process and we cannot recommend him highly enough!

Local knowledge Process expertise Responsiveness Negotiation Skills We couldn’t have asked for a more responsive, knowledgeable, and understanding realtor. First he was amazing in the selling process of our first home. He was able to educate us and teach us the ropes of selling and purchasing. This was followed up 6 months later with our new home. Erik and his team gave us the opportunity to get the home of our dreams, well before we expected it to happen. I would recommend him to anyone buying a home in the Richmond and surrounding areas.
