2021 Christmas Mother is ready for the challenge
MEET YOUR 97th District candidates address the issues The 97th District encompasses all of New Kent County and portions of Hanover and King William counties and is currently represented by Del. Scott Wyatt, who has served since 2020. Wyatt is opposed by challenger Stan Scott. By Jim Ridolphi For The Mechanicsville Local Editor’s note: Incumbent Del. Scott Wyatt’s responses are presented below and challenger Stan Scott’s answers will appear in next week’s edition. A few words about why you decided to seek or continue public service. What motivates you to serve and why are you seeking election, re-election to the General Assembly. Wyatt: I have always believed in the importance of public service. We have seen the General Assembly veer drastically to left and abandon the policies that have served Virginia so well. We need a course correction. I am committed to fighting for the conservative, common sense values that make
the Commonwealth a great place to live, work, and raise a family. The assault on law enforcement and Second Amendment rights, and a progressive, far left agenda from the current majority have posed a significant threat to our great Commonwealth. Central Virginia including Hanover is experiencing a lack of broadband access. How can the General Assembly assist localities in solving these issues and how would you address the problem of underserved areas? Wyatt: A large portion of the federal ARPA funding went to broadband expansion. I believe we could have allocated even more of the ARPA funds to broadband expansion in unserved areas. I believe it is incumbent on the General Assembly to con-

tinue to fund VATI at significant levels. Although transportation funding has increased as regions search for alternative funding for new roads and infrastructure, it’s still the top priority in many areas. How would you increase state funds to address local transportation issues? Wyatt: I am opposed to increasing our gas tax and taxes in general.

veryone has an image of their perfect dream job. Sometimes, those dreams come true. Jeannie Rummel had long admired the work performed by previous Christmas Mothers in Hanover County as she followed those efforts in past years. When Doswell Ruritan Franklin Jones informed the Mechanicsville club it was their turn to select this year’s Christmas Mother, Rummel’s husband and Ruritan Joe remembered her interest in the program. “Years ago, when I was following some of the Christmas Mother stories in the newspapers, I told him that I thought it would be just
wonderful to be a Christmas Mother and he remembered that, so he volunteered me to do it,” Rummel said last week at an annual luncheon held each year to announce this year’s designee. Former Christmas Mother Betty Stanley introduced Rummel at an annual event held at the Doswell Community Center last week. Rummel welcomed the good news of her selection and said she is ready to hit the ground running for this year’s efforts. “I was just so excited and I thought it would be the most wonderful thing to help the less fortunate people in Hanover County,” Rummel said. “I’ve always loved Hanover.” She traces that special relationship to 1981, when she became the county’s first recreational program director, a time when the department consisted of only three people. “Without volunteers and that sprit of community support, we wouldn’t have had recreational programs,” she said. “Without the support of the county citizens and their willingness to get their hands dirty and volunteer, we wouldn’t have been successful because when you are a department of three you are vulnerable to budgets and things like that,” she said. Rummel said it’s the same sense of community and compassion that make the Hanover Christmas Mother such a successful program. She served on the committee that began the Ashland Strawberry Faire and has worked on the Ashland Variety Show for years and said her dedication to the community makes it easy to promote the Christmas Mother program see RUMMEL, pg. 4

anover County Public Schools (HCPS) announced last week an on-time graduation rate of 95.6% for the Class of 2021, the ninth-straight year that Hanover’s graduation rate has exceeded 95%. The rate is the third-highest on-time graduation rate in Virginia among the 15 largest school divisions in the state, according to new data from the Virginia Department of Education. Overall, Hanover’s graduation rate for students who entered the ninth grade during the 2017-18 school year continues to outpace the state’s, where 93% earned a Board of Education-approved diploma. Additionally, more HCPS students are graduating with advanced diplomas, with 67.2 percent of 2021 graduates completing high school with the advanced diploma as compared with 65.1% for the Class of 2020. Graduates from all four high schools earned a higher rate of advanced diplomas than the state average, including among economically disadvantaged students. Economically disadvantaged students in Hanover also earned advanced diplomas at one of the 10 highest rates in the state. The county graduated 1,419 students this year with a 2.4% dropout rate, one of the four lowest dropout rates among the 15 larg-
est school divisions in the state. “Our students, faculty, and staff continue to demonstrate their resilience in the most challenging circumstances we have ever encountered,” said Dr. Michael Gill, Superintendent of Schools. “Despite a significant portion of their high school education being disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic, our seniors exercised great poise and commitment. I equally applaud the exhaustive efforts of our talented and dedicated educators and staff, who work tirelessly to ensure our students receive an outstanding education, as well as the strong support of our families and broader community. We are incredibly proud of them and look forward to witnessing the great contributions they will make.” Here are some quick facts on the Hanover County Public Schools Class of 2021: 1,419 graduates 67.2% Advanced Diploma 28.4% Standard and Other Diploma 95.6% on-time graduation rate 89.2% on-time graduation rate among economically disadvantaged students 2.4% dropout rate More information can be found in the Virginia Department of Education’s School Quality Profile for Hanover County Public Schools.

this year. Rummel retired in 2016 following 12 years of service as the Human Resources Administrator for VCU’s Massey Cancer Center. “When you believe in a cause, it’s not hard to talk about it to people, and I just so believe in helping the less fortunate at Christmas time and other times of the year also,” Rummel said. Hanover’s Christmas Mother program also provides assistance for seniors by distributing gift cards to help them buy groceries or other necessities. Jones said he hopes those cards will be increased to $75 this year to assist senior citizens. The program shifted slightly last year due to COVID restrictions and toys were replaced with gift cards for the children and cards for groceries were distributed versus the traditional boxes of food distributed in the past. No decision has been reached on the food boxes for this year. Jones explained that it is unclear if Hanover County Public School students will participate in the food drive due to pandemic restrictions. He said food cards are a viable option to replace the boxes if that becomes necessary. The project is community driven and a number of organizations and agencies participate in the annual event. For example, the Mechanicsville Rotary and the Ruritans sell food items at the annual Christmas Parade on Dec. 5 and proceeds assist the Christmas Mother. Rummel has already begun work on this year’s project by composing a letter distributed to area businesses and organizations asking for their support for the upcoming mission. She plans on speaking to various clubs and organizations in the county during the upcoming weeks to gar-

ner support for the program. “There are lots of them that want to help each year, so I’m looking forward to that,” she said. “The clubs like to hear from the Christmas Mother.” Joe and Jeannie have 10 grandchildren that keep them busy and on the road often to attend various events that involve the group in age from 3 weeks to 20-years old. The couple is active in Mechanicsville’s American Legion Post 175, and participates in numerous programs at Fairmount Christian Church. “We are on the Shoebox Ministry committee and we do what we call the Moment of Hope lunches on the fourth Saturday of each month, where we prepare hot lunches for needy people,” Jeannie said. “We are so blessed and it’s so rewarding to do these things for people who really need it,”

she added. Each year, the honor of selecting a Christmas Mother rotates among the seven Hanover County Ruritan Clubs. Doswell Ruritan and long time-event supporter Franklin Jones has been there since the program began and is an integral part of the organizing process for the Christmas Mother program. “This is our 33rd year, and we seem to get stronger each year,” he said. The Doswell Ruritans began operating the program in 1988. “I’ve been involved over the years working and organizing, but we have a lot of others who work hard to make this event a success,” Jones said. “We are fortunate to have so many volunteers and a lot of people just come to help.” Last year, the Hanover

Keeping internet coverage accessible, and affordable By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist
A
fter years of suffering and exclusion, it seems those who are underserved by broadband services and struggle to make viable internet connections are finally getting their due. Since the inception of internet availability, the gap has widened between those who have access and those who don’t, the ramifications of the latter becoming more impactful with each passing year. For decades, local, state and federal governments have contended that providing reliable Wi-Fi and broadband was not a function of local government. Those in charge effectively argued that forcing one resident to pay to provide access to another resident was not a workable solution to the problem. A pandemic quickly changed all of that, and a bitter reality that exposed a broadband atmosphere that resembled a have or have not situation; and the true ramifications of not having access became crystal clear. While we attempted to maintain our children’s school work, access important medical appointment through tele-appointments and remotely worked during the pandemic, each day revealed a new reason why reliable broadband service was not a luxury, but a necessity. Parents frantically searched for hot spots to access important lesson plans or an essential Zoom meeting, and in what seemed like a moment, life seemed almost impossible with access to the internet. States like Virginia got the message early, and realized without the assistance of government, some connections would never be completed. Other potential users faced enormous hook-up fees that prohibited them from accessing existing networks. The Commonwealth set up a system of available grants through the Virginia Telecommunication Initiative (VATI)
program where localities partnered with private providers to apply for state funds to provide broadband. Hanover, Goochland and many other localities have submitted applications for those funds and a decision could be forthcoming by the end of the year. It appears that solutions are imminent, but some fear the cost of the available service will be still be out of reach for some customers. While initial cost estimates of the service seem reasonable and cost effective for many, it places others in a situation where having service available does not equate to having access due to monthly fees that do not fit in fixed income budgets. Providers are seeking to provide basic plans that should be available to most since they are partially subsidized in an attempt to make the service available to all. It’s an important element of the program. With a massive influx of federal funds benefitting almost every locality in the United States, it’s reassuring to know that many have opted to used the funding to provide internet service. There’s even more money proposed for those purposes in pending Federal legislation, but it’s important to realize that the new push for universal access comes with a price. Making sure those monthly user fees are affordable and available to all is a lofty goal, but one many think is achievable and vital to successfully providing access for all Americans. And it appears years of reluctance to place internet service on a level with other utilities is closer to reality, and government involvement coupled with private investment is providing the driving force for universal access. The process won’t be easy and will require a flexible approach that is equipped to adapt to the technological advances. It will also require a significant investment to maintain the infrastructure and maintain universal coverage. And the real challenge for the future could well be not only making universal broadband a reality, but keeping it affordable for all to enjoy.

Be it regional Canadian roots, American old-time, 50’s Country, Scandinavian folk music, or something original that sounds as though it’s been around for a century—the one common thread is their love and reverence for the music and traditions that have been passed down to them. Husband and wife duo April Verch & Cody Walters is a true partnership of kindred musical spirits, each a
world-class musician in their own right. Combining their unique backgrounds from Verch’s native Ottawa Valley and Walters’ heartland roots in Kansas, their music showcases endless creativity and versatility—transitioning effortlessly from traditional Ottawa Valley step dancing and fiddle tunes, to old-time fiddle-banjo duets with tightknit vocal harmonies, to innovative sandpaper foot percussion, all contrasted against Verch’s sweet soprano voice. The show begins at 7:30 p.m. on Oct. 16; doors open
at 7 p.m. Tickets are $20 in advance; $25 at the door. Children 12 and under are admitted free of charge; teens 13-18 are admitted at half price. Net proceeds benefit UUCC.

ernment. Increasing our gas tax is especially shortsighted. Revenue streams from gasoline taxes have been declining as our vehicles become more fuel-efficient and we see an increase in the use of hybrid and electric vehicles. We need to provide funding directly to the localities who know best how spend funding for local infrastructure. The Smart Scale Program has not benefited localities in our district as significantly more road funding goes to Northern Virginia. With a massive influx of federal money directed at towns and localities, some are saying this is the perfect time to address long term issues like transportation, improved broadband, stormwater management. What are your priorities for the state and local funds headed our way from Washington? Wyatt: Unfortunately, Democrats did not allow Republican input when doling out the federal ARPA funds. I believe federal money should be directed to concrete investments that will benefit Virginians over the long haul. This includes money for our roads and bridges, broadband expansion, and funding for our law enforcement and first responders.

Saturday, Nov. 6 A Community Salt Fish Breakfast is scheduled from 8 to 10 a.m. at Enon United Methodist Church, 6156 Studley Road in Mechanicsville.
Is there an affordable housing issue in the 97th District? How would you address the lack of affordable housing and why do we hear so little about this subject? Wyatt: Affordable housing remains a concern. We must balance growth with protecting Virginia’s rural communities. These are issues I believe are best addressed by localities. Some communities may wish to expand high density housing, while others prefer a slower growth rate to preserve rural character. List three pressing issues facing 97th District residents and localities and how you would address those issues. Wyatt: Public Safety and support for our law enforcement, growing the economy and creating well-paying jobs, and ensuring our students receive the best education possible, where they are taught how to think, rather than what to think, are three pressing issues for the 97th District. We must continue to fund our law enforcement and stop the attacks on them. Additionally, we need to get back to policies that punish criminals, rather than reward them, and never forget the victims. Regarding economic development, we need to create an environment where businesses can flourish by reducing taxes and burdensome regulations. We must

also protect Virginia’s status as a Right to Work State. Finally, regarding education, we must get funding directly to the teachers and classrooms, rather than the educational bureaucracies. Also, we must focus on teaching the core issues, such as reading, writing, STEM, and the trade and technology centers, and not treat our classrooms as places for political indoctrination. CRT has no place for schools in the Commonwealth.
to continue efforts to bolster workforce development and pay special attention to vocational training. Not every student may wish to pursue a four-year college path. There are many excellent, wellpaying, and rewarding jobs available, and I would like to continue to build on efforts to let our youth have access to these jobs, while expanding opportunities for apprenticeships and internships for high-school students.
Do you think k-12 education in Virginia is adequately funded, and how Virginia can increase the state contribution to localities for education. Wyatt: I support increased funding for public schools and teacher pay raises. Additionally, we need to continue to take steps to address the teacher shortage in Virginia. We must work to ensure we retain and attract the best teachers possible for our children. Ensuring funding goes directly to our teachers and the classroom is essential.
Do you support continuation of Medicaid expansion in Virginia? Why or why not? Wyatt: Opposition to Medicaid expansion without a work requirement is what drove me to run for the House of Delegates. Medicaid expansion is fiscally irresponsible and financially unsustainable. I believe Virginians should have the ability to shop competitively with their healthcare services, just as they would for other services. I support measures to increase transparency in healthcare, and believe we are entitled to know the costs of medications, procedures, and services up front. Allowing small businesses or trade groups to band together and purchase insurance at a cheaper rate is another great step. I will advocate for policies that will increase healthcare access, affordability, and options.
Do you support free community college for all Virginians, and why? Wyatt: There is no such thing as “free community college.” Taxpayers will bear the burden. I certainly appreciate and support any policies that would lower the cost of higher education. We need

AARP Virginia offers advice to avoid scams Contributed Report The Mechanicsville Local AARP Virginia regularly sends out scam alerts to notify residents of popular scams that are being by criminals to take advantage of people. They advise people to be aware of the scenarios and make sure those who may be vulnerable know what signs to look for as well. Utility scams: Utility scams heat up as the temperatures rise (and when they fall), so much so that the Federal Trade Commission ranks utility impostors among the top reported scams. In this one,
you typically get a call, email or text saying your account is past due and you must pay immediately, or they will cut off your power. Another tactic is the “utility” claiming you overpaid your bill, and they request your bank account information to issue a refund. Utility scammers can also show up at your door after a power outage or severe storm offering to get your power back on for a fee. Utility companies typically don’t do business this way.
Any unusual communication from your utility should raise a flag. Disengage and contact your provider at a number you know to be legitimate (off of a recent statement, for example). Chances are you’ll learn that there is no problem to address. Be a fraud fighter! If you can spot a scam, you can stop a scam. The AARP Fraud Watch Network is a free resource for all. Learn how to proactively spot scams or get guidance if you’ve been targeted. Visit www.aarp.org/fraudwatchnetwork or call our dedicated helpline to speak to a fraud specialist at 1-877-908-3360.

The Guild is celebrating 20 years of service at Covenant Woods Volunteers bring kindness in small doses to residents By Jim Ridolphi For The Mechanicsville Local
I
t’s the little things that make life worth living. Kindness sometimes comes in small doses and a group of volunteers at Covenant Woods proves that each and every day as they provide comfort and support for residents of the Hanover retirement community. The Guild at Covenant Woods is celebrating 20 years of service and continues to be a vital part of the Covenant Woods community, even with restrictions necessitated by the COVID-19 pandemic. “At a time when the world seemed to come to a screeching halt, we were able to bring simple joys to these residents… painted finger nails, a note of encouragement, a book to read, a craft project to do, something to pass the time in isolation,…a monthly treat bag to look forward to… simple, selfless acts of kindness that let them know they weren’t forgotten,” said Guild Vice President Jean Wright last week. She said those seemingly small acts loomed large when the pandemic hit last year. “At a time when not even their families and friends could visit and we couldn’t physically be there, they could feel that people cared. I’d like to think we made a difference,” Wright said. The Guild has a long history of assisting residents at the facility starting at the Richmond Home for Ladies that was formed in 1883 to assist and care for Confederate war widows by Presbyterian and Methodist ministers

and local physicians. For more than a century, the Richmond Home for Ladies was managed by an all-male Board of Directors who oversaw financial operations and a Board of Lady Managers who supervised the day-to-day care of the residents. In 1987, nine members from each of those two boards merged to run the facility. “The remaining ladies formed the Guild of the Richmond Home for Ladies,” Wright said. “In the 1990s the board decided to move the Home from its Stuart Avenue location to
October 13, 2021
Hanover County, admit men as well as women, and change the name to Covenant Woods, and the Guild assisted residents of the Home in the move,” she added. Wright provided an overview of the Guild’s activities and responsibilities. “The Guild of Covenant Woods covers many of the same duties formerly the responsibility of the Board of Lady Managers of the Richmond Home for Ladies, working cooperatively with the recreation staff to organize activities to provide enter-
tainment, companionship, and gifts to enhance the happiness, comfort, and welfare of the residents of the Manor East wing, which consists of Assisted Living, Memory Care, and Healthcare,” Wright said. The group is comprised of volunteers from churches in the metro area, but welcomes all who want to help. “The Guild has historically consisted of representatives from the United Methodist and the Presbyterian churches in the metropolitan area of the City of Richmond. However, we welcome all interested volunteers
regardless of religious affiliation in the Mechanicsville area,” Wright said. “Presently, we number about 45 volunteers, some even being Independent Living residents of Covenant Woods.” The Guild routinely provided services for the residents until the pandemic presented a challenge for members and those they served. “The pandemic changed not only the lives of all of the residents of the not-for-profit continuing care facility, but also the personal lives of the volunteers.

Scotchtown event takes visitors back in time Demonstrations, presentations, displays bring local history alive By Jim Ridolphi For The Mechanicsville Local
V
isitors got a realistic peek into the past as they strolled the grounds of Scotchtown last weekend as Preservation Virginia presented its 300th Celebration and Fall Festival. A collection of artisans, historians, re-enactors and vendors filled the grounds of the plantation that once served as the home of Patrick Henry during the Revolutionary War. In addition to a number of craftsmen demonstrating their skills from another generation, area museums set up tents and booths to highlight and inform visitors of their offerings. Proceeds from the event benefited the home’s Raise the Roof campaign, an ongoing effort to replace an aging roof at the landmark. “Scotchtown’s 300th and Fall Festival was an amazing success,” said Preservation Virginia CEO Elizabeth Kostelny. “The event reaised $25,000 for preservation efforts at Scotchtown, and more than 500 folks from all ages enjoyed the demonstrations, presentations by Michael Twitty and Valerie Davis, vendors, and tours of the house.” “Scotchtown is part of the fabric of the Hanover County community and we look forward to more opportunities to welcome people to the site to learn more about its history and people,” she added. Pete Peterson traveled to Hanover to participate in the event from Northern Virginia. Dressed in authentic attire, he walked the grounds portraying a member of the First Virginia Regiment, a legendary Revolutionary War company that fought in several integral battles of the war. “I’m portraying a corporal in the First Virginia Regiment and we’re a regiment that is based here in Virginia,” Peterson said. The regiment was originally founded in Williamsburg in 1775 as a state militia unit. The current re-enactors’ regiment is comprised of members from across the Commonwealth and

More than 500 visitors visited Scotchtown’s 300th Celebration and Fall Festival last weekend at the historic home of Patrick Henry. The event featured historical demonstrations, vendors, reenactments and presentations. Randolph-Macon students participated in an archaeological dig and explained the process to interested onlookers as soldiers mustered on the lawn. Proceeds from the event benefit restoration efforts at the site.
North and South Carolina. “We represent the middle states just as the original regiment did,” Peterson said. When the first regiment was formed in Williamsburg, it was led by Patrick Henry, who later resigned to pursue a political career. “The original First Virginia fought in many of the battles from Great Bridge up to Princeton
and Valley Forge,” Peterson said. The company was captured during the Battle of Charleston in the second British invasion of the war. Peterson described his dedication to a realistic vision of the time period as a hobby. “Ive been doing this for about nine years. I started as a raw recruit.” His group attends eight to 10 of these types of events annually, and about 20 of his fellow members attended the event at Scotchtown. “If you love history and the camaraderie of being in an Army unit and you want to sit down with people who are professional historians who know this era inside and out….. this a fantastic hobby,” Peterson said. He noted that achieving that sense of realism doesn’t come cheap. The musket alone costs $1,100, and a regimental coat can cost $700. Peterson said the Scotchtown event is one of his favorites and he attends regularly. “This is my third visit to this event.” Tidewater rope maker Barnaby Wylde said he likes explaining how rope was made in Colonial times and demonstrated his skills at Scotchtown. He became interested in historical reenacting about a decade ago, and has been making rope for six years. “It’s the history of rope making that intrigued me,” he said. “I started researching the history of rope making and it fascinated me. No
one else was demonstrating this so I decided to take it up.” Wylde meticulously strung strands of yarn that were joined by a wooden block that weaves the strands together producing a strong finished product as a group of observers asked questions. People who made rope could be called an artificer, but “usually they were just called the rope maker or the roper.” In addtion to the numerous historical demonstrations visitors witnessed actual architectural digs as students from Randolph Macon worked at the site and explained the process to onlookers. County administrator John Budesky attended with his family and said the event captured the flavor of Hanover’s continuing 300th Birthday Celebration. “We could not be more proud of the efforts of Preservation Virginia and the 300th Celebration they hosted,” Budesky said. “They have been great partners representing historic places and their efforts at Scotchtown is a major success.” Budesky said he was impressed with the turnout and enthusiasm of the attendees. “Any event is only as good as the citizens that turn out to learn and engage.

Cataract Surgery Performed Locally in Mechanicsville, Virginia D. Alan Chandler, MD of Chandler Eye Care Specialists performs cataract surgery with lens implant exclusively at the Memorial Regional Ambulatory Surgery Center in Mechanicsville, Virginia. There is no need to drive long distances (or even across the James River) to have cataract surgery when the procedure and all follow-up visits can be done locally at this state-ofthe-art facility in Mechanicsville. Dr. Chandler has over 30 years of experience performing cataract surgery. He offers advanced technology lens implants that can correct distance, near and intermediate vision after cataract surgery and even correct astigmatism. The traditional lens implants used by Dr. Chandler give excellent distance and night vision but often leave a need for reading glasses. The new advanced technology lenses expand the range of focus to include near and intermediate distances for reading and computer work, for example. Call Chandler Eye Care Specialists at 256-3020 to make an appointment today to discuss these options.

we were doing crafts with a small group of residents and the next they were under quarantine lockdown. Suddenly, they were confined to their rooms and the relationships we had forged with the residents came to an abrupt halt.” The group did not sit idly by while residents were deprived of the little things that enhanced their lives. Initially they began by sending notes and cards to residents and later provided nail polish so staff could paint the nails of eager residents. “When the call came from staff that the okay had been given for the staff to paint the nails of the ladies quarantined in their rooms, the Guild provided the nail polish… 55 bottles, along with cotton balls and polish remover, so that each lady had her own botMONDAY EVENING 4 PM 4:30 5 PM

for residents. With in-person volunteering opportunities still limited, the Guild has established a routine to make a difference for residents. Member donations as well as the Ruth Shoppe and an upcoming Bake Sale at the annual Covenant Woods Christmas Market on Nov. 12 all help to provide funding for the staff to purchase crafts pertaining to their monthly activity and assist in other innovative ways. “In August they had a luau and our treat bags included sunglasses and leis the residents could wear for the occasion and flip flop notepads along with sweet treats,” Wright said. “We provide enrichment beyond the necessities… the things that are good for one’s soul and bring smiles to faces.” Covenant Woods is celebrating 20 years of service in Hanover County this month.
tle to avoid spread of the virus,” Wright said. Since crafts could no longer be enjoyed in group settings, the Guild provided 40 sets of markers, pens and watercolors that enabled residents to work in their rooms safely. By September 2020, it was obvious the group would not be able to enter the facility in person for some time, so they began to distribute monthly treat bags to more than 85 residents. “When the Guild couldn’t use the traditional Guild Christmas stockings due to COVID restrictions, we didn’t miss a beat, stuffing donated goodies, including more packets of tissues as well as Dove soap, into Christmas gift bags for all of the Manor East residents,” Wright said. They also provided 150 Valentine bags to staff in recognition of their service during the pandemic, and an additional 85 bags

Sahnow, Hawks battle; corral Mustangs By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE — Hanover’s Beau Sahnow has been a big contributor as a running back and receiver to the Hawks’ offense this year. Friday night at Mechanicsville, he added quarterback to his list of skills. Sahnow filled in for an ailing Cole Elrod and performed admirably, amassing 292 yards of offense — 140 rushing and 152 passing — in leading the Hawks to a 35-28 victory. Sahnow ran for two of Hanover’s five touchdowns and passed for a third. He said the Hawks have taken a beating recently in terms of injuries and worked hard to get ready for Mechanicsville. “There was a lot of preparation this week. We got put in a tough situation with everybody (out),” Sahnow said. “We’ve had a lot of injuries recently. … But I had to focus up this week, do my job. I got it done.” Three minutes into the game, it looked like it might be a Hanover rout. The Hawks had jumped out to a 14-0 lead on the backs of a 2-yard touchdown run by James Poole and Sahnow’s 34-yard pass to Chase Flora. Nicholas Harrington added the extra points in both cases. A rout was not in the cards, however. The Mustangs steadied themselves and fought back into contention. Their comeback began with a sustained drive that culminated in a 2-yard run by Logan Harris.

Thomas Richman’s point-after made it 14-7 with 2:56 left in the first quarter. Both teams scored a touchdown in the final three minutes of the first half. Hanover got on the board first on a 15-yard run by Sahnow with 3:09 left in the half, but Harrington’s kick went astray. Mechanicsville quarterback Jordan Callahan scored from 12-yards out with 49 seconds to go before intermission. Richman’s kick made it 20-14. Hanover struck first early in the second half with Sahnow’s 21-yard scoring run. Harrington’s kick made it 27-14, but the Mustangs were done fighting. Callahan scored on a 2-yard run with 5:42 remaining in the third quarter and Colby Messe scored on an 11-yard run with 6:42 remaining in the game. Richman’s aim was true on both point-afters, putting the Mustangs on top 28-27. The Hawks had to work fast to respond, else the clock turn against them. Sahnow wasn’t rattled. “I think that’s just my character. That’s who I am,” Sahnow said. “[Hanover head coach Sam Rogers] was on the sidelines trying to talk to me, to keep me calm. I thought I was already calm. I was trying to keep everybody else calm because if I’m panicking then they’re going to panic.” Sahnow helped boost every Hawks’ mood when he spotted wide receiver Chase Flora (six catches, 119 yards) a step or

Hanover quarterback Beau Sahnow (7) keeps his guard up as Mechanicsville defender Logan Harris (2) tries to run him down in the Hawks’ 35-28 victory over the host Mustangs on Friday, Oct. 8, 2021. Sahnow slipped away for a 15-yard touchdown.
Explosive Springers handle Patrick Henry By Weldon Bradshaw for the Times-Dispatch ASHLAND — It was the old post route, basic as it gets. Highland Springs receiver Latrell Sutton split wide left, sprinted downfield on the snap, then cut right as if headed directly toward the goal post. As he read the secondary, found a seam between defenders and slipped into the open, quarterback Khristian Martin sighted him and drilled a perfect spiral into his outstretched hands. There was nothing but green between him and the end zone. It was another big play — this one on fourth-and-10 from the Patrick Henry 35 — that the Springers, down 14-13 a half-minute before halftime, employed en route to a 41-28 victory over the Patriots under the Friday night lights in Hanover County. “That credit goes to Michael Hodge,” said Highland Springs coach Loren Johnson, whose squad, No. 1 in The TimesDispatch Top 10, improved to 4-2. “Our kids see things on the field. Mike Hodge ran off the field and said, ‘Coach, we can run this play.’ Then, he ran back on the field. The ball was supposed to go to him. “The quarterback threw it to Latrell Sutton. That says a lot about the unselfishness of our team and how well we can play when we play as a unit.” The play-as-a-unit concept was the Springers’ modus operandi on this cool, clear evening. Twice in the first half, the No. 6 Patriots (4-2) stung them with quick-strike touchdowns: Jayden Mines’ 79-yard kickoff return and Camden Byrd’s 18-yard interception return mage by teammate Gregory time after Byrd’s TD and a when quarterback Allen raced after picking off a pass batted Foster. 2-point Jordan Allen-to-Mines 35 yards for a touchdown and into the air at the line of scrimTwice they trailed, the first conversion and the second Richard Crabbe kicked the extra

point to conclude the Patriots’ initial second-half drive. Down 21-20 midway through the third period, the Springers scored three straight times (runs of 5 yards by Takye Heath, 12 yards by Hodge, and 7 yards by Marcel Fleming) after short-field drives to put the game away. “Football is four quarters,” see SPRINGERS, pg. 25

With their fourth-straight victory — and second in a week — the Richmond Kickers leaped from eighth to fourth in USL League One standings with three games remaining in the regular season. Ivan Magalhães scored in the 95th minute to lead the Kickers to a 2-1 come-from-behind victory over North Texas SC in Arlington, Texas, Sunday night. Blaine Ferri put the hosts ahead with a goal in the 33rd minute. Richmond (10-8-7) played catch-up almost to the end before Zaca Moran scored the equalizer in the 81st minute. Both teams, desperately seeking the three points that would come from the win, battled hard in the six minutes of stoppage time for a winner. In the end, Nil Vinyals found Magalhães in the North Texas box and Magalhães fired a header into the net for the win. Richmond began the week at City Stadium Wednesday and wasted little time earning an advantage over visitor Forward Madison FC. In the eighth minute, Chris Cole sent a low cross pass into the Madison box to striker Emiliano Terzaghi, who played the pass off the side of his foot into the net. The Kickers then parried every Madison attack afterward to earn a 1-0 shutout — the 10th clean sheet of the season for Richmond goalkeeper Akira Fitzgerald. Richmond will host Forward Madison FC Saturday at City Stadium at 6:30 p.m.

R-MC earns homecoming win in final seconds By Rob Witham for The Local ASHLAND — On a day where a nearly century-old football rivalry unveiled its final chapter, the finale for the home team was straight out of Hollywood. After watching two wouldbe third quarter touchdowns go up in smoke due to fumbles, having a punt blocked for a safety, and falling behind by four points in the fourth quarter, Randolph-Macon got the one big defensive stop that eluded them two weeks prior, then scored with 19 seconds left to steal a 34-31 victory over the Wasps of Emory and Henry. The Yellow Jackets (5-1) won their fifth straight over the Wasps in what will be their final meeting for the foreseeable future with Emory and Henry moving to NCAA Division II in 2022. They’ve been Old Dominion Athletic Conference rivals since the conference’s founding and played their first game against each other in 1929. Despite a 254-yard rushing performance by Wasp senior tailback Devontae Jordan, which included three touchdown runs, the Yellow Jackets stopped him on his final carry on a fourth down, needing just 2 yards to seal the victory. The tackle by Silas James for no gain gave the offense possession with 1:47 left and no timeouts. Sophomore quarterback Brecht Heuchan went to work, finding Tim Hanratty for 9 yards, then launching a bomb to Zach Bowman for 49 yards to the Emory and Henry 15. On fourth down, after a 3-yard rush and two incompletions, Heuchan looked for Hanratty in the end zone, but missed him. However, a flag flew in, as pass interference was called against the Wasps for the

third time in the contest, giving Randolph-Macon a first down at the 3. Heuchan then found Joey Hunt, who had just enough separation on his defender to catch the football in the back corner of the end zone with 19 seconds left for the lead. On the day, Heuchan was 7 of 13 for 259 yards and two touchdowns. “Man, what a performance there at the end by the receivers, by the offensive line to protect, by Brecht who made some unbelievable throws,” noted Yellow Jacket head coach Pedro Arruza. Emory and Henry’s last

prayer went unanswered, as Kyle Short’s pass was intercepted by Erik Harris at midfield. The Yellow Jackets celebrated a Homecoming win, but Arruza harkened back to the first day of practice, reminding his team of a then-potential problem that became a near-disastrous reality. “This has been an issue we’ve talked about since the start of the year, his ball security, the other backs’ ball security,” Arruza said. “Hopefully this will be a wake-up call. As a running back, you need to know when to go down.” “His” referred to Justin DeLeon, the talented senior
tailback who rushed for 202 yards and two first half touchdowns, but fumbled the football twice in the third period, once on a first and goal at the 5 as he neared the goal line after the Wasps muffed a punt deep in their own territory, and later on a run where he was en route to a 44-yard touchdown scamper when Jaylyn Kreimes punched the ball out of his hands from behind, forcing a touchback. A 24-14 halftime lead, which could have been extended to 38-14, became 24-16 when punter Chris Vidal mishandled a low snap, his punt blocked through the end zone for a safety. After the free kick,
Jordan broke free for his third score, then threw a halfback option pass to Gunner Griffith for a two-point conversion to tie the game at 24 at 4:38 left in the third. Later in the third, junior quarterback Presley Egbers fumbled a snap on third down at the Wasps’ 4, forcing a field goal from Vidal for a 27-24 lead, setting up a fourth quarter filled with what if ’s and “almosts” before the Yellow Jackets’ lastminute heroics. Randolph-Macon struggled on third down, converting on just 4 of 14 attempts, but was 3-for-5 on fourth down while the Wasps missed both fourth
down tries — the second setting up the winning drive. Still smarting over his team’s 25-24 loss to Washington and Lee two weeks prior, Arruza broke down the difference between that day and this one. “All we had to do was make a couple of plays, and we didn’t,” Arruza said of the loss to the Generals. “But, yeah, the fourth down stop was a huge stop. Great job by our guys.” The Yellow Jackets return to ODAC play at Guilford on Saturday, needing to win out and have Washington and Lee lose two of their last three see R-MC, pg. 25

two ahead of a Mechanicsville receiver. Flora hauled the pass in for a big gain from midfield to inside the red zone. Sahnow ran it to the 2-yard line, and James Poole covered the remaining distance to put Hanover ahead for good with 2:22 left. Sahnow ran in the two-point conversion. “I just wanted to score. I wanted to win,” Sahnow said. “I had a lot of pressure, I felt, going into this game because we didn’t have Cole. I felt this was a must-win.” Mechanicsville still had two minutes to make something happen, but a bad snap and a couple of sacks doomed any chance of a comeback. Hanover got the ball back with more than a minute left and was able to run out the clock. Given that the Mustangs were in a position to win, the final result was disappointing for Mechanicsville players and fans alike. “All the kids were playing hard. I can’t fault anybody’s

Quanye Veney accounted for 89 yards on seven catches, several of the acrobatic, I-can’t-believemy-eyes variety. “We knew they’d come out and give us their best shot, offense and defense,” said Veney of the Patriots. “We knew they’d have the crowd behind them.

RSN Wants You! Do you love sports? Do you love telling stories? Do you have the chops to write compelling tales – and to do so on a deadline? If so, Richmond Suburban News wants you! RSN is seeking sports correspondents (stringers in newsroom lingo) to help our staff cover the blizzard of events in the Hanover, Powhatan, and Goochland communities we serve. We feed on a steady diet of high school sports, with some college competition (in Hanover) and the occasional professional
event. The work is mostly nights and weekends. But we pay our correspondents in coin of the realm rather than the oft-promised “exposure.” We prefer people with some journalism training – published clips (even as a student reporter) are best – and need people who can consistently turn around compelling content on time and to the assigned length.
