2021-2022 blueprint OK’d for Return to Learn Plan

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND -- Hanover County School Board members approved a 2021-2022 Return to Learn Plan for county students that includes both face-to-face instruction and online learning options.

On Tuesday, June 8, Assistant Superintendent Jennifer Greif presented the plan for approval,

but acknowledged a changing environment will require adjustments throughout the summer.

“We will continue to bring you information all summer long as more details are available,” she said In-person instruction is the default position for the upcoming year and parents who opt for face-to-face do not have to submit requests for that option.

Mechanicsville resident gets National Merit Scholarship

The Mechanicsville Local

June 16, 2021

Staff Report news@mechlocal.com

E

VANSTON, Illinois -- Emma E. Lindley of Mechanicsville has been named a National Merit Scholar, receiving $2,500.

She was a student at the Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School for Government and International Studies in Richmond.

Lindley received the National Merit Tulane University Scholarship, where she is expected to pursue a career in Architecture.

Tulane is a privately endowed, nonsectarian university offering a wide range of undergraduate, professional, and graduate courses in 10 divisions.

Founded in 1834, it is located in the university section of New Orleans. Enrolled are 8,435 undergraduates, 3,216 graduate students, and 1,951 in professional schools. All divisions are co-educational.

Lindley was among over 3,100 winners of National Merit Scholarships financed by U.S. colleges and universities. The National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) made the announcement on June 2.

Officials of each sponsor college selected their scholarship winners from among the Finalists in the 2021 National Merit Scholarship Program who plan to attend their institution. These awards provide between $500 and $2,000 annually for up to four years of undergraduate study at the institution financing the scholarship.

An additional group of Scholars will be announced in July, bringing the total number of college-sponsored Merit Scholarship recipients in the 2021 competition to about 4,000.

This year, 160 higher education institutions are underwriting Merit Scholarship awards through the National Merit Scholarship Program. Sponsor colleges and universities include 85 private and 75 public institutions located in 42 states and the District of Columbia.

College-sponsored Merit Scholarship winners announced on June 2 are a part of the distinguished group of about 7,500 high school seniors who will receive National Merit Scholarships for college undergraduate

study worth nearly $30 million.

Earlier this spring, NMSC announced winners of corporate-sponsored Merit Scholarship awards and National Merit $2,500 Scholarships.

2021 National Merit Scholarship Competition Over 1.5 million juniors in about 21,000 high schools entered the 2021 National Merit Scholarship Program when they took the 2019 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/ NMSQT®), which served as an initial screen of program entrants.

Last fall, about 17,000 Semifinalists were named on a state-representational basis in numbers proportional to each state’s percentage of the national total of graduating high school seniors.

Semifinalists were the highest-scoring program entrants in each state and represented less than 1% of the nation’s seniors.

To compete for Merit Scholarship awards, Semifinalists first had to advance to the Finalist level of the competition by fulfilling additional requirements. Each Semifinalist was asked to submit a detailed scholarship application, which included writing an essay and providing information about extracurricular activities, awards, and leadership positions.

Semifinalists also had to have an outstanding academic record, and be endorsed and recommended by a high school official.

From the Semifinalist group, some 16,000 met requirements for Finalist standing, and about half of the Finalists will be Merit Scholarship winners in 2021.

NMSC, a not-for-profit corporation that operates without government assistance, was established in 1955 to conduct the National Merit Scholarship Program.

The majority of National Merit Scholarships provided each year are made possible by the support of approximately 400 independent corporate and college sponsors. These sponsors join NMSC in its efforts to enhance educational opportunities for America’s scholastically talented youth and to encourage the pursuit of academic excellence.

ents have expressed concerns regarding the mask requirement in Hanover County Public Schools, a policy mandated by Governor Northam’s orders regarding the pandemic.

Greif said the county will “continue to monitor all health

mitigation strategies that come out of . . . CDC recommendations or our continued collaboration with the Virginia Health Department in order to provide for the best and safest learning environment that we can in the fall.”

Secondary elective options could be limited in the upcoming year “because of staffing

and scheduling.”

Citing those lessons learned during the pandemic, Greif said other elective options could be offered in synchronous settings. For example, classes where enrollment requests are low could be taught collaboratively online.

“We are looking into providing that opportunity in a synchronous format using the Chromebooks we were able to purchase the past year. We will keep some of that next year as a pilot to see if that’s a model . . . moving forward,” Greif said.

Information for next year’s online school will be provided to parents for the upcoming year and opt-in forms for parents will be available.

Online schedules are expected to mirror face-toface instruction as closely as possible, and Greif stressed the importance of adult support for online learners, especially those of elementary ages.

Secondary elective options also will be limited for online students.

“Students and families are encourage to work with their

counselors to determine whether these choices will progress the student toward graduation and toward their interests as they move forward in making this decision,” Greif said.

She said planning for transportation and food services are ongoing, and parents are being asked to either opt-in or optout regarding bus service.

“We continue to look at our routes and the efficiency of those routes. Parents will be given the opportunity to optin for transportation . . . so our transportation staff can do its

best work in creating efficient routes for next year.”

She said this year’s emphasis will be on efficiency versus last year’s challenges related mainly to capacity challenges.

Cafeteria capacity is another issue currently being addressed. “We are exploring outdoor options and we are seeking additional guidance from the Virginia Department of Health and the Chickahominy District to see what our best strategies might be in the fall for that time perisee LEARN, pg. 9

From the managing editor

Different doesn’t make it any less special

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor good friend’s daughter is a member of the Atlee High School Class of 2020.

Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, she was deprived of some rites of passage that were just the norm for most of us.

Let me point out that she was a real trooper throughout the school year, and headed off to university ready for that next big chapter in her life. And she had an outstanding academic year as a freshman.

But, then and now, I am saddened by what last year’s graduates and this year’s seniors are

A

missing. I’m hopeful there’s a special air of excitement since this year’s class will be holding commencement ceremonies at the Meadow Event Park.

Over the course of two days, Friday and Saturday, June 18-19, Atlee, Hanover, Mechanicsville, and Patrick Henry high schools will celebrate the Class of 2021. Our tributes to them will continue with the much appreciated efforts of the Central Office staff.

As I’ve said before, it couldn’t have been an easy task to organize graduation, but Dr. Michael Gill, superintendent, and his leadership team are going to pull it off -- and it will be memorable.

I’ve thought often about May 1974 when I

walked across the stage to receive my diploma. It was an unusual week, to say the least. My maternal grandfather passed away, which was very difficult as I was so close to him. Then it flooded and graduation was postponed a day. And I was meeting the visiting family of a young man who was important to me at the time. He was a knight in shining armour when that was what I needed.

So, somehow, some way, even with unique situations, we manage -- often coming out on the other side a bit stronger.

To Hanover County’s graduates, I wish you all the best as you take that next big step into adulthood and planning a future. You’ve already proven you can handle tough times.

Song of cicadas offers sweet memory of last visit

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist It’s easy to forget their searing song of summer. You hear it for a couple of months in the summer and then it’s gone for 17 years.

To some, it’s an irritating buzz that can disturb the most serene of circumstances, but, for others, the sound of cicadas on a summer evening is more akin to a serenade that evokes a sense of calm and belonging.

The summer of 2004 was filled with anticipation and hope as my family welcomed a new addition to our family and learned that blessings do arrive in pairs.

My then-youngest daughter and I spent our days together that summer as we awaited the arrival of the twins and most days you could find us in the backyard enjoying the rope swing or taking a dip in an inflatable pool.

encrusted remains of large-sized bug carcasses that adorned most of the trees in our yard, I explained the patient and cyclical journey of the cicada.

“We call them crunch bugs,” I told her. “That’s what your sister and I called them the last time they came around.”

I explained to her that 17 years earlier, her older sister and I had the same conversation on the same swing set on an evening very similar to the

one we were enjoying.

I spent many of those evenings of that eventful summer sitting on a small deck beside my house, listening to a chorus of the sopranopitched bugs. Eventually, the sound became enchanting and almost hypnotic, and the tenacity and powerful pitch of the insects became almost melodic.

The sound became such a welsee CICADAS, pg. 7

Response: Biden defeated Trump by 67 million votes Regarding Daniel Baumann’s June 2, 2021, letter to the editor: Audit farce must stop if our vote is to count: I do appreciate his well-researched statistics, but he overlooked the fact that Joe Biden-won counties were home to 67 million more Americans than Donald Trump-won counties.

Large urban core counties with a high population account for nearly half the population (97 million people), and suburban counties with large metropolitan areas accounted for an additional 72 million people in Biden-won counties. The total population of Biden counties was 197.9 million compared to Trump’s counties of 130.3 million.

In all honesty, do Republicans believe that people who voted for Trump in 2016 just because they didn’t like Hillary Clinton voted for him again in 2020? I think not.

Maybe Trump looked like he had the early lead, but he told his voters to vote in person, not by mail, which he said would most likely be fraudulent, though he had done it for years. If you believe something is dishonest, why would he have done that?

So realistically, most mail-in ballots went to Biden. The absentee ballot went by 27.4% in the 2016 General Election to 46% in the 2020 General Election.

These voters voted by mail because they believed that masks and not being at rallies and other social events were something they had to do during the pandemic. Trump supporters turned up at rallies (mostly unmasked), boat parades, and Trump train events.

Judges abided by the laws of our Constitution in the judgment of this election. I often wondered if Hillary won in 2016, but the law of the land said she didn’t, and, as an American, I see LETTERS, pg. 7

come addition to the usual sounds of summer that I actually made a tape of the symphony in an attempt to somehow capture the moment.

After all, who could have predicted what I would be doing or where I’d be when the next batch of cicadas auditioned?

As this new batch of cicadas make their much-anticipated return, life has changed; and that youngest daughter is now a senior in high school, ready to embark on her journey on an exciting and wonderful path and the wonders that await.

The twins await their turn to walk across the aisle and claim their diplomas next year.

I’m sure there are families who are making their first memories as the stirring sounds of summer make a return visit for an encore performance. Perhaps a young father in another backyard is

explaining to his daughter the marvel and magic of nature’s secrets and the preciseness of its unwavering alarm clock.

And who knows what momentous or significant events these tiny insects have witnessed in past visits, or how humans have memorialized those occurrences . . . or what future soundtracks they will provide for future generations.

But their return certainly affirms that -- despite the best efforts of man -- the cycle of nature and life itself continues, and reminds us that some of life’s awaiting miracles are predictable. Like Old Faithful, the re-emergence of the cicadas reassures us that the master plan somehow still works.

And I might be alone in my reverence for what many call annoying bugs, but hearing them brings back memories of my children and special moments that should be remembered, a song of summer to be cherished.

LETTERS Continued from pg. 8

obey the laws of the land.

I know you Republicans are seething mad about the unfair results, but it has been proven accurate. These audits where they are trying to find bamboo paper ballots (fraudulent votes from China) are almost laughable and very disturbing.

Why doesn’t the Republican Party rebuild itself with decent leaders? I, for one, love Larry Hogan, the governor of Maryland. What a true leader he is. I’m sure there must be others like him.

Why Trump? He promotes violence and only is in it for himself. He made fellow Americans hate one another due to party, race, and creed. He says stolen election, but what does he want for the country that is positive and uniting? I am in my 70s, and I’ve never seen such an abomination.

I hope people will put their egos aside and strive to resolve

things together. Let’s turn off our televisions with all the crazy news channels and see one another for who we really are. Let’s become the United States of America again.

Carole Olsen Mechanicsville

Responding to justifying election doubts Responding to Daniel Baumann’s letter regarding his weariness at having to justify doubts about the 2020 election: 1) Your figures, showing Donald Trump winning so many more counties than Joe Biden, do show an amazingly lopsided-looking outcome. But it’s not chicanery. If you look up a map of the Virginia 2020 election results by county, with red for Republican, blue for Democrat, you’ll see a vastly red map. If all those counties voted for Trump, how could

Biden win? A few, very populous counties combined to have more votes for Biden than all the other rural counties combined. Many, many rural counties making up America tend to have relatively low population counts (and tend to vote Republican). Twenty rural counties’ votes -- or more -- might equal the same number in just one highly populated county. It’s like that all over America. The same argument holds for states won by Obama vs. Trump. What matters is winning electoral votes.

In all but two states, whichever presidential candidate wins the majority of votes, gets to win all the electoral votes. In Virginia’s case, because more people voted for Biden, he won ALL of our 13 electoral votes.

Because Biden got more total electoral votes than Trump did in America, he won. He didn’t need to win more counties or even states, since different states have different numbers of electoral votes. You may

recall that Hillary Clinton got 3 million more votes than Trump, but lost the election. It sounds as though your issue is with the electoral process.

taken seriously. Fact: More than 40 lawsuits were filed challenging election results. Not a single one merited serious value, determined by a variety of judges. (Business insider.)

These are judges from districts in various states and certainly not all considered Democratic.

No reasonable argument can be made why all the suits failed, except that they didn’t hold water. Not enough proof?

Trump’s own Attorney General William Barr declared “the U.S. Justice Department has uncovered no evidence of widespread voter fraud that could change the outcome of the 2020 election.” (WSJ) There’s no way that no mistakes were made with tens of millions of votes, but widespread fraud? Fact: It’s been proven not to be.

And, 3.) “The votes miraculously changed overnight” after Trump was winning. Is a baseball game winner called after the 4th inning? That’s the argument you’re making for Trump winning.

Here’s why he appeared to be winning initially: The majority of Republicans voted in-person on Election Day (as requested by Trump). The majority of Democrats voted by mail-in ballot. Most states counted the in-person votes first, so, the tallies counted earliest were mostly Trump votes.

When votes are being tallied, there’s always (from reliable sources) a figure showing the percentage of total votes that have been counted. It doesn’t really matter who is showing the lead if you’ve only counted 20% or 30% of the total votes.

Fact: When Trump was in the lead in some states, the majority of votes had not been counted. That’s easily verifiable.

I always wonder: If the election was rigged, why didn’t Democrats get a majority in the Senate and a wider win in the House?

Is it Anti-American to question the 2020 election? Sadly, it’s become all too American

to believe inflammatory Facebook posts and “I heard” rather than looking into reliable sources (how about the printed Richmond Times-Dispatch?) and deciding for yourself.

I would urge anyone, regardless of party affiliation, to look at the non-profit site politifact. com when you want the truth about political rumors. They address major national rumors (including from Facebook), state if it’s true or not, and the reasons why. There’s even a Virginia politifact for more local issues at VPM.

Eliminating democracy has missing issue What a shame. We have a very large group of the United States of America sincerely recognizing and honoring our American military for serving and dying for our country in order to preserve the American way of life, freedom, liberty and justice for all.

Then we have a large group of people who praise and support a person who was impeached twice, voted out after one term, called our dead military “losers and suckers” and cannot recognize that the real losers and suckers are the ones who on Jan. 6 engineered and orchestrated an insurrection to forcefully take over the American Government.

We must really be missing something in life when so many can be masterminded by a person hell-bent on throwing away our democracy -- or his own protection.

$60,000 welfare comment isn’t entire story Everyone on U.S. Rep.

Robert Wittman’s email list recently received notice that Virginians can be paid $60,000 in welfare to stay at home and not work. This is hogwash!

Wittman leaves much of the story untold and also makes some assumptions that cannot be validated.

First off, he states that his hypothetical family of three is getting $1,300 monthly in a federal unemployment bonus as a part of the American Rescue Plan. This may be true but it’s not welfare and what he doesn’t say is that this benefit expires on Sept. 4 of this year.

Next he says that the family gets $433 each month as an Earned Income Tax Credit.

Wrong again. Citizens who are not working and do not have earned income cannot receive these funds. No one can receive unemployment and earned tax credit at the same time.

Then he moves on to the Child Tax Credit, stating again that his hypothetical family receives $600 each month.

However, he fails to state that this disbursement does not start until July -- less than 60 days before the unemployment bonus ends. This means a tested program was designed to make it easier for parents to get back to work.

For Mr. Wittman’s hypothetical family, it will probably cover about half of their child care cost. It also is part of the American Rescue Plan, which will lift more than 4 million children out of poverty and place 5 million closer to the poverty line.

Finally, Congressman Wittman says, “If they also receive Medicaid, then they could receive another $1,348 per month.” This implies that the funds go directly to the family, which is not true. If the family is Medicaid eligible, they will never see the money or have access to it. But we have no way of knowing if they are eligible because eligibility see LETTERS, pg. 9

will be determined monthly when the parent is employed.

Medicaid is not counted as income and is not welfare.

Congressman Wittman voted against the American Rescue Plan. His caucus never introduced counter proposals to help us out of the COVID19 crisis. The real welfare is reducing the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%. Mr. Wittman, are you a hypocrite?

Data includes reminder about the voters It appears some of our fellow citizens, including Daniel Baumann, are still struggling in the wake of the 2020 election results. And while I have little hope that the below information will assuage such minds, given what I suspect is a news diet that feeds limited information to appeal to how people feel as opposed to a full scope of actual data.

Nonetheless, let’s review: It’s a great time to remind everyone that counties don’t vote people do. And as we continue to see the urban/rural population shifts over the past decades, it’s not terribly surprising that election results have shifted as well.

Our great Commonwealth of Virginia is a perfect example: We have 133 counties, the top 11 of which contain roughly the

ings for elementary students.

“We never eliminated the acceleration option, but we did have to change the model during the pandemic,” Greif explained. “We are looking to go back to the models that existed before the pandemic for providing for that acceleration in math both in fourth grade and in the fifth grade.”

She said different schools employ different math models according to the needs of their students.

“We evaluate the enrollment numbers overall and also the enrollment numbers related to the students who are ready for that acceleration,” Greif said. “We are committed to reverting back to some of

the models . . . and there will be access to acceleration.”

Superintendent Michael Gill bolstered that commitment. “Let me unequivocally say there is not nor has there ever been any plans to do away with accelerated class work in math or any other subject.”

Chickahominy District

same population as the other 122! Which means any candidate that sweeps those counties with a significant enough margin will win the election, regardless of the margins/counts in the other 100+ counties!

As well, the currently identified “Bellwether” counties are on the other side of this urban/rural population shift. As polarization occurs, urban centers grow larger and bluer, while rural sites tend to become redder. Therefore, it’s not surprising at all that a candidate who wins the state’s major metropolitan areas would lose a significant number of rural counties and still win the overall election.

There were more than 50 lawsuits regarding the 2020 Election -- none of which resulted in any significant findings of wrongdoing or fraud, including those in states with Republicanled governments. The Georgia recount, led by the Republican Secretary of State, upheld the results of the election, with the vast majority of counties showing no change or less than 10 ballot result changes.

While voter fraud does sometimes exist, such as the Pennsylvania man who voted for Donald Trump on behalf of his dead mother, the actual instances of voter fraud in 2020 number less than the lawsuits filed against the election results.

The “early leads” in the election results showed the differences between in-person voting (and those counts) and early or mail-in voting (and the way those ballots are counted). In 2020, there was a significant differen-

tial between voters who went in person (typically Republican) vs. early/mail-in (Democrat).

In many states, including our own, mail-in ballots count until after the polls close for inperson voting. In some states, those ballots don’t BEGIN the counting process until that time. As such, many urban centers which had sizable early/mail in votes -- which again, tended to be Democratic -- didn’t start counting until later in the evening and began to post results after midnight.

In Philadelphia, for example, slightly more than half of the ballots came in via mail in 2020, up from about 18,500 in 2016. There really is no surprise that the results changed over the course of early Wednesday morning and in the following days as the mail-in ballots from heavily Democratic voters in large and heavily Democratic areas were counted.

Finally, the 2020 election yielded the highest turnout in U.S. history to date, with 17 million MORE voters in 2020 than in 2016, according to census.gov. While all demographics showed an increase in voter turnout, the percent of young voters (18-34) shot up from 49% in 2016 to 57% in 2020.

And these voters, by a wide margin went for Joe Biden -a trend that had been widely polled and predicted for most of the Trump presidency.

In addition, Trump’s approval rating, through his entire presidency, never broke the 50% mark -- a bellwether itself in presidential re-election history.

Trump follows other 20th

century predecessors who could not make that mark and failed to gain a second term: George H.W. Bush, Jimmy Carter, and Gerald Ford.

Given his approval numbers over the previous four years, there were clearly a significant number of voters who were not going to vote for a second term for Trump.

Unfortunately, these truths just don’t line up with the way some people “feel” about the 2020 election. That being said, these are the facts -- whether people choose to believe them or not.

HCPS to celebrate Class of 2021 on Friday and Saturday Staff Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND – Hanover County Public Schools’ Class of 2021, unlike last year’s graduates, will be taking part in commencement ceremonies later this week.

According to Dr. Michael Gill, superintendent, Atlee, Hanover, Mechanicsville, and Patrick Henry high schools will celebrate on Friday and Saturday, July 18-19, in the Farm Bureau Building at the Meadow Event Park.

As Governor Ralph Northam has continued

to ease restrictions due to COVID-19, Gill and the school district’s leadership team agreed to moving the ceremonies indoors. Gill had earlier announced that commencement would be held outside at Meadow Event Park.

Each graduate will still be able to have four guests attend.

Under the revised plan, Gill said graduates will be able to sit together at the front of the Farm Bureau Building while guests will be seated together in pods of four.

As part of the school district’s continued

APD chief: Be aware of people on sidewalks and crosswalks, especially kids

(Editor’s note: The following was submitted by Chief Douglas A. Goodman of the Ashland Police Department.)

ASHLAND -- With summer upon us as well as the end of the school year, the Ashland Police Department wants to remind everyone of pedestrian

safety tips while driving and walking around town.

With warmer temperatures, more residents and visitors will be walking around town on sidewalks and crosswalks, many of them children enjoying summer break.

Mark R. Herring is seeking his third term as attorney general. His opponent is Jason Miyares.

The Republicans determined their candidates in a Convention format in May. Teresa ‘Teri’ Smithson, VREO, CGRV, General Registrar/Director of Elections for Hanover County, said voter turnout was low, with only 5,114 votes, 6%, being cast.

She did not report any glitches in the voting process last week.

health and safety measures, graduating seniors will be spaced 3 feet apart, while each pod of four guests also will be 4 feet apart from other groups.

“We ask all attendees to be respectful of the health and safety of others and follow the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance and the Governor’s associated Executive Order based on the status of your COVID-19 vaccination,” Gill said. “The new guidance states that anyone who is fully vaccinated against COVID-19 can participate in the

vast majority of indoor and outdoor activities without wearing a mask. You are considered fully vaccinated two weeks after your second dose of the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine or two weeks after a single dose of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.”

Individuals who are fully vaccinated may choose not to wear a mask, and all unvaccinated guests are asked to wear a mask that covers your nose and mouth. Those who may already be fully vaccinated but wish to continue to wear a face mask at the ceremonies should do so with the school division’s full support.

Tips for drivers:

z Be alert, do not drive distracted. z Expect the unexpected.

Children may cross the street in unexpected locations or suddenly run in front of you. z Double check your surroundings before backing out of your driveway and park-

z Teach children to cross streets at crosswalks or intersections with pedestrian signals. z Stop, Look, and Listen before crossing the street.

8. This election cycle has seen many highly intelligent and capable leaders express their roles in shaping the future of Virginia. Everyone worked very hard to get to know the issues and to communicate their goals for the future.

“The current administration is doing a fantastic job, and we are confident that Governor McAuliffe, Delegate Ayala, and Attorney General Herring will improve upon the legacy of Governor Northam and his administration, led by his Chief of Staff Clark Mercer.

“Many progressive ideals are emerging because of the efforts of the Democratic leaders in Virginia. We need to stay on this path of preserving democratic institutions.

“I am very proud of all the committee members who cam-

paigned and volunteered for so many of the candidates. Now that the state ticket has been declared, it is time to get to work supporting our local candidates and spreading the message of love and charity which Democrats across the state understand. We have come very far in respecting choice, honoring marriage, acknowledging the contributions of minority populations, and appreciating the contributions of the LGBTQ communities, but there is still much more to do.

“We passed the ERA (Equal Rights Amendment) and we need to ensure that Virginia leads the charge in protecting the equal rights of everyone.

We all deserve access to healthcare, education, and economic opportunities.

“This November, Virginia

and Hanover County will have the opportunity to strengthen our infrastructure in Broadband, transportation, and public safety by electing Democrats who care about community engagement and human dignity. In addition to a great statewide ticket, we also have amazing local leaders running for office. Dr. Rachel Levy, candidate for the 55th House of Delegates, and Stan Scott, candidate for the 97th House of Delegates, have noble and novel ideas for improving the lives of our community members. They are looking to make meaningful change that will benefit the entire population. This is the most excited I have been about our options this November.

“If people want to learn more about the candidates,

they can check out their respective websites, research them on VPAP.org and read about their activities on hvadems.com.”

Hawk girls, Patriot boys win region titles County teams dominate Region 4B championships

Foreman leads Atlee winners in Region 5B

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – The weather Thursday was intensely hot and muggy.

Oncoming storms inspired a sense of urgency instead of the languid pace the heat and humidity called for. But, even as event organizers threw out the planned schedule for a rolling schedule to beat the lightning, three Hanover County track and field teams rose to the occasion in the Region 4B outdoor track and field championships at Atlee High School.

By the time the final event ended and a storm broke over – and up – the planned award ceremony, Patrick Henry and Hanover swapped first and third places, with the Patriots first and Hawks third in the boys competition and Hanover first and Patrick Henry third in the girls competition.

Mechanicsville’s boys finished fourth and the Mustang girls seventh.

“We were battling mid90s heat and humidity – you know how Virginia weather gets this time of year,” said Mechanicsville head track and field coach Andy Ordaz.

“Luckily for us and everybody

Hanover’s Khia Holloway (4) pulls away from Louisa’s Dezmajia Carter to win the girls 100-meter dash with a time of 12.34 in the Region 4B track and field championships at Atlee High School Thursday. Holloway also won the 200 and 400.

event on the track, we got the thunderstorm right then and there. We’re very lucky to get the whole meet in that day.”

The heat and humidity were expected. So, in addition to the usual planning to match athletes with events, coaches had to plan for the weather as well.

“The number one thing we focused on all week was trying to prepare for the heat,” said Patrick Henry head track and field coach Scott Brown. “We that was there – every team – ters of the way through and the best calls because as soon started hydrating the kids a lot the weather held off. I think it we decided to move to a roll- as the last kid crossed the finwas about, almost three-quar- ing schedule. That was one of ish line for the 4-by-4, the last see REGION 4B, pg. 26

GLEN ALLEN – After watching the L.C. Bird boys celebrate with trophies for a few years, the Skyhawk girls were determined to join the party.

Saturday at Glen Allen High School, the L.C. Bird girls broke open a six-team sprint to the finish, vaulting from sixth place to the Region 5B team championship with 43 points in the final four events.

The Skyhawks finished with 95 points, besting runner-up Deep Run, who earned 76, and third place Atlee, who ended with 75.

Junior Jada Foreman, who won the high jump, triple jump, long jump and 300-meter hurdles, was named Outstanding Field Athlete for the region tournament. While ecstatic about her victories, she wanted her Raiders to take the trophy.

“With this season being so weird, my main goal is to go out and win for the team really,” Foreman explained. “I figured, I have states, and I’ll just try to push it all at states if I really need to, but for regionals, I’m

Cuozzo knocks Hanover into win column

By Rob Witham for The Local

Dave Lawrence/The Local

Hanover pitcher Julia Cuozzo and head coach Mike Rohr give each other a celebratory shoulder bump after Cuozzo’s first home run of the night in the Hawks’ 5-1 victory over host Atlee Wednesday. Cuozzo struck out 10 and finished with two home runs.

REGION 5B Continued from pg. 23

wanting to finish first, second, just to make sure.”

That extra effort helped Foreman, in her four victories, score 40 of Atlee’s 75 points.

She scored more in other events as well. Midlothian, spurred

by Caroline Bowe victories in the 800- and 1,600-meter runs, placed fourth at 73 points, followed by Highland Springs with 71 and Manchester at 70.

No one personified the tenacity of the Skyhawk girls more than Jessika Pellot-Rosa,

24

who was leading the 300-meter hurdles before falling with less than 75 meters to go. She found the strength, with one cleat, to get up and finish. Head Coach Adam Canning said it was key to clinching the title.

“Her getting up and not just laying there after falling shows that she wasn’t in it just for her, she was in it for the team,” Canning noted. “That showed the tenacity of the group as a whole.”

Despite being one of the smaller squads competing, and only winning three track events, these Skyhawks knew how to pile up points when necessary.

The Mechanicsville Local

June 16, 2021

Freshman Asia Kelson, who won the 400-meter dash, took fourth behind the resurgent Pellot-Rosa, who dusted herself off and nipped Foreman to win the 200 and give L.C. Bird the lead for good.

“However many times we got knocked down, no matter how far down, we always tried harder and faster in the next event,” said Pellot-Rosa, who was the anchor leg of the 4x400 relay team which won the meet’s final event. “Our grit, and our belief in each other to carry things out, was really strong.”

The L.C. Bird boys won with

128 points, followed by Glen Allen with 97 and Atlee with 62.

The Skyhawks spent Saturday making sure that they were confident, but not overconfident.

Canning noted that the makeup of the team itself helps to make that happen.

“We always start off, after three or four events, behind,” Canning said. “The whole day, we’re like, we’re behind. It keeps us hungry. We look at the scores, and we’re down.”

Indeed, after 10 events, the Skyhawks trailed thenleader Glen Allen 52-34. Enter Luke Affolder, who overtook Douglas Freeman’s Brett Bishop

MECHANICSVILLE – To describe Julia Cuozzo as softspoken would be, at the least, an understatement. She prefers to do her communicating on a softball field.

Wednesday night, she spoke loud and clear, both in the circle and at the plate, shutting Atlee down after giving up a run in the first inning, and hitting two solo home runs, including the game winner, as Hanover completed an impressive 12-0 regular season by defeating the Raiders 5-1 and clinched the top seed in Region 4B South.

“I rely on my defense a lot.

It makes it a lot easier,” Cuozzo said when asked about her performance and the pressure of facing a quality team for the third time.

The Hawk defense played errorless ball, backing up Cuozzo after Atlee (8-4) struck first when Kelly Ayer singled, stole second, then advanced to third on a Caroline Tilley single.

After Cuozzo walked Savannah Nash to load the bases, Bailey Bucholz laid down a squeeze bunt, allowing Ayer to fly home

to give the Raiders a 1-0 lead.

Atlee left two baserunners aboard in each of the first two innings, both of which ended on Cuozzo strikeouts, two of her 10 on the evening. Hanover (12-0) took advantage of two Atlee errors in the top of the third, tying the game when a Julia Mardigian single plated Beanie Acors.

Atlee starter Kara Hammock registered three of her eight strikeouts in the fourth inning.

But, with two outs, it was also when Cuozzo took her first pitch over the left field fence to give the Hawks a 2-1 advantage.

Cuozzo returned to the circle, retiring the final 16 Atlee batters of the contest. After stranding a pair in the fifth, the Hawks used the long ball in the sixth to put the game out of reach. Again with two outs, Reagan Hill launched a homer over the center field fence, then Cuozzo connected on a 1-1 pitch to send the ball once again out of the yard to left field.

Hanover’s Huesman prevails in pitchers’ duel

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Hanover’s Levi Huesman and Mechanicsville’s Brett Allen both brought the heat when the two pitchers squared off for a duel on the Mustangs’ home diamond on June 8.

Huesman pitched well, striking out 10 in 6-2/3 innings of work. Allen pitched well, striking out nine in five innings.

Allen, who left after five complete innings with a 0-0 game, finished the night with a nodecision. Huesman, on the other hand, may have left with two runners on, but reliever Marcus Van Alstine played his closer role flawlessly to save for Huesman the win in a 3-0 Hawk victory.

The lines for the two starters were nearly identical. In addition to the nearly equal number of strikeouts, the two pitchers were identical or nearly so in terms of hits: Huesman gave up one, Allen none; bases on balls: Allen gave up four, Huesman

named Region Co-Runners of The Year. For Atlee, Greg Durgin won the pole vault clearing 11 feet, 6 inches, Travis Albon took second in the 3,200 in 9:49.09, and sixth in the 1,600 in 4:34.13. Patrick Allen was third in the 3,200 while Keith

three; and runs: neither pitcher yielded a run.

“Brett is one of the best pitchers in the state and tonight he had all of his stuff,” said Hanover head coach Tyler Kane. “We challenged our guys to go out and have quality atbats and do the best they could.

We worked up the pitch count a little bit and got him out of the game. . . . Our goal was to get to the bullpen.”

The strategy worked. With another Mechanicsville pitcher on the mound, the Hawks were able to get runners on base in the seventh inning – and took advantage of a Brett Alvis RBI single – ultimately enough to give Huesman the win – and a two-run Seth Keller double to get three of those runners in.

Huesman said the right mindset – “Keeping the mind set on the next hitter and not trying to do too much and do it on my own, just trusting the defense” – was key to the win.

Hanover pitcher Levi Huesman struck out 10 in 6-2/3 innings in earning the win in the Hawks’ 3-0 victory over host Mechanicsville Tuesday.

Huesman’s counterpart, Mustang Brett Allen, struck out nine in five innings of work. Allen, who left after completing five full innings of work, earned a no-decision on the day while Huesman got the win.

the promised land, the Class 4 State Championship Game on June 26. Their biggest asset, Rohr notes, is their chemistry.

“These girls have really bought in to caring about each other,” Rohr said.

Atlee entered their final tournament in Region 5B as a

dangerous seventh seed. The inability to play a normal schedule hurt the Raiders’ positioning, but they will undoubtedly try to take advantage of this postseason opportunity.

Patrick Henry completed the season at 4-8, while young Mechanicsville finished 0-12.

“We talked about being steady, making the routine plays, worrying about little things, not making mental mistakes,” said Hanover head coach Mike Rohr. “Every team going into our region (tournament) is undefeated.”

Hawks fall short in state tennis tournaments

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – For the first time in years, there will be no state tennis champions from Hanover High School.

The Hawk girls, reigning Virginia High School League Class 4 state champions since 2017, fell to Jamestown 5-3 in the Class 4 state semifinals on

June 7. Raine Weis, part of the defending state doubles championship combo (with graduate Madison Moore), and her current doubles partner Juliann Webster fell in Class 4 doubles semifinal in Newport News Thursday.

Finally, Weis – a senior who was also the reigning Class 4 singles champion – was downed

by Megan Knight of E.C. Glass

6-1, 7-6 (6-4) in Newport News Saturday.

The loss Saturday was disappointing, of course, for the team in general and for Weis in particular, but Hanover head girls tennis coach Lindsey Wyeth Hein said that Weis showed a lot of grit against an incredibly talented opponent.

“She actually was down 5-1 in the second set and she came

all the way back to be up 6-5 in the second-set,” Hein said. “She did really well to come back from 5-1 down and it showed a lot of heart and a lot of grit.

And, you know, she definitely left it out there. I was so proud she didn’t give up. She didn’t.

She kept fighting and she did well.”

Like the Hawk girls, the Hanover boys were eliminated

by Jamestown in the VHSL Class 4 team semifinal on June 8. But the doubles pair of Ethan Belote and Charles Adams advanced to the state final against another entrant from E.C. Glass, Spencer Knight and Wolfgang Ploch, Friday. The Hilltopper duo won 6-3, 6-2.

“They put up a fight with them, but that E.C. Glass team was something else,” said

more during the week prior to the races. We made sure we had plenty of great stuff there, plenty of food and water, and everything like that – and just trying to mentally prepare them for that.”

Even with plenty of preparation, pulling off the regional titles was no easy task. In the case of the Hanover girls, they started off in what seemed to be a rapidly deepening hole behind Louisa County before they hit their stride in the running events.

“We were chasing points from the beginning. From the first event, we were down 17 to 1,” said Hanover head track and field coach Rich Firth. “The first event scored was the high jump and Louise went one-two with that. So we were chasing points the whole way, but mathematically we thought we had an edge in the running events if we could just hold our own in the field events.”

The Hawk girls had two main weapons in chasing down the Lions: Khia Holloway and Alli Crytser. Holloway led the way with three wins: in the 100-meter dash (12.34), the 200 (25.68) and the 400 (1:00.48).

Crytser won two: the 1,600 (5:15.92) and 3,200 (11:19.79).

The Patrick Henry boys did not have as many champions, but the Patriots were loaded with top-three finishers. They were led individually by Trevor Mason with a win in the 1,600 (4:20.89). Mason was also part of the Patriots’ winning 4x800 relay team (8:04.68) with Jonathan Burnap, Luke Taylor and Alex Davis. Camden Byrd, Jordan Allen, Jayden Mines and Shamar Williams brought the Patriots another win in the

4x200 relay (42.79).

On the girls side, Patrick Henry’s Logan Nuckols ran to a region championship in the 300-meter hurdles (49.62).

Nuckols was also part of the Patriots’ winning 4x800 relay team with Melanie McAdoo, Autumn Just and Jenna Dyke.

Mechanicsville’s boys had three wins. Blake Moody won the 400 in 51.20. He also anchored the Mustangs’ champion 4x400 team (3:30.57), wrapping up for Aaron

Thomas, Jackson McMackin and Christopher DeCambre.

Sierra Puleo led the Mechanicsville girls with a pair of second-place finishes in the 1,600 and 3,200.

requires motorists to yield for pedestrians that are in crosswalks by slowing down or stopping if necessary. State law also requires that pedestrians show due regard for approaching traffic before crossing the road.

Pedestrians can improve their safety by wearing bright colors during the day and reflective material or flashing lights at night. While light colored clothing can be helpful in making you visible at night, reflective tape or reflective fabric is much better.

During the next few weeks, the Ashland Police Department will be conducting speed and pedestrian safety patrols in areas heavily travelled by pedestrians.

FEMA urges preparedness with hurricane season Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com FPHILADELPHIA – Recent years have not only shown that the East Coast is susceptible to the damaging impacts of hurricanes and other tropical systems, but that hurricanes also are not just a coastal threat.

The 2021 Atlantic Hurricane Season got underway on Tuesday, June 1, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) joined state and local partners in encouraging individuals, families, businesses, and communities to begin preparing for hazardous weather that may result from hurricanes and other tropical systems.

Disasters don’t wait; we’ve already seen the first tropical cyclone of the Atlantic season -- Tropical Storm Ana. The threat of hurricanes and other tropical systems has already arrived.

“It is not uncommon for residents

of the Mid-Atlantic to think hurricanes and tropical systems are unlikely to impact them where they live . . . but that is not necessarily the case. Tropical weather systems can have severe impacts hundreds of miles inland from the coast. A storm does not need to be a major hurricane to cause damage, and it only takes one to change your life.” said Janice Barlow, FEMA Region 3 acting regional administrator. “Storms as recent as Hurricane Isaias, which impacted parts of Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsylvania in August 2020 are proof that residents and business owners in the Mid-Atlantic should take hurricane season seriously and begin preparing today.”

Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic is still an ongoing hazard that could influence your hazardous weather plans when it comes to evacuation and sheltering. This is something to strongly consider when preparing for

hurricane season. For example, you may need to adjust your plans if you are unwilling to gather in a group setting such as a public emergency shelter.

FEMA also has taken steps to prepare ourselves and our partners to respond to disasters in a COVID-19 environment. In May 2021 FEMA released COVID-19 Pandemic Operational Guidance. This updated document provides actionable guidance to State, Local, Tribal and Territorial officials to prepare for response and recovery operations for all-hazards and encourages personal preparedness measures amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

FEMA is ready to respond to any hurricane or disaster.

Take action today to prepare for hurricanes and other tropical systems:

not just a coastal threat. Extreme flooding and damaging winds could occur hundreds of miles inland from the coast.

Begin planning. Know what you’ll do if a storm is coming to your area, how to stay in touch with family and friends, and where you will go if your home is unsafe. Visit ready.gov for preparedness and planning tips.

Make a kit. Make sure you have non-perishable food items, water, essential documents, flashlights, a battery back or other means of charging your cell phone, NOAA weather radio, toys or comfort items for kids, and any supplies needed for your pet. Have enough supplies to last at least 72 hours but preparing to be on your own for up to a week is a good idea. Learn more at ready.gov/kit.

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.

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.

Local knowledge Process expertise Responsiveness Negotiation Skills 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!

U a HUGE lot in Giles! Don’t miss this Stunning house on opportunity to move into Giles before the summer and enjoy the new Magnolia Club without having to wait for a new construction build. With 5 bedrooms plus a large loft, and 3 full bathrooms, this house has lots of space and upgrades galore! Want a private pool?
