County mourns Hargrove passing Hanover, region enjoy rebounding tourism numbers By Jim Ridolphi For The Mechanicsville Local
T
wo names are synonymous with Hanover County. One is Patrick Henry and the other is Frank Hargrove Sr. Hargrove passed away last weekend at age 94, and Hanoverians are grieving the loss of one of the county’s most recognized and respected leaders, a sort of Renaissance Man who made his mark in many different areas. Hargrove passed away on Oct. 16, but the memories and contributions he left behind will likely endure for many generations. Hargrove attended Thomas Jefferson High School in Richmond, where he was a standout on the foot-

ball team, and joined the U.S. Army when he graduated, serving in occupied Japan following World War II. By that time, the young
Hanoverian had already made an unaccompanied tour of the Southland, and learned to fly an airplane while in his teens. The love of flying accom-
panied him for the remainder of his life, and he eventually bought the plane from his college days and flew it regularly see HARGROVE, pg. 14
President and CEO of Richmond Region Tourism Jack Berry told Hanover supervisors earlier this month that tourism is on the rebound in the Richmond metro region. “It’s been quite the year,” Berry said. “Now more than ever, tourism is more important and in the last 19 months, we’ve certainly rose to the occasion.” Berry reflected on a tumultuous period caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. “It was just 19 months ago that life was great, and it was at that time that the NY Times notified us that we were the 39th world destination to visit in 2020,” he said.

Ashland Theatre plans concerts, plays and movies Landmark comes back to life after COVID-19 By Jim Ridolphi For The Mechanicsville Local
Jim Ridolphi/The Local
The Ashland Theatre is ready for a full season of movies, activities and events.
The Town of Ashland and its residents have established a long and lasting relationship with the small movie theatre that has occupied a prominent space on England Street since 1948. But, the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic
threatened that existence, and since March of 2020, the Ashland Theatre has offered a limited schedule of pop-up events. This month, the landmark reopened with the airing of two first run movies, the latest James Bond adventure and the new Adams Family animated movie, and the theatre is gearing up for a full season of activities and events. Theatre Manager Courtney Caldwell came on board in July and said a series of upcoming events is the perfect way to re-introduce the beloved landmark to an appreciative public.
“The entire Town loves this building and they really want it to succeed, and that’s awesome,” Caldwell said last week. “We are so lucky that the Town supports this building. They provided a small but steady stream of revenue during the pandemic by renting out our front marquee for messages.” The theatre reopened in 2018 following a years-long effort to restore the facility that originally began as a grassroots effort by volunteers from the Ashland community. Much of the initial work required to shore up the aging building see THEATRE, pg. 14

G
race Christian School (GCS) of Mechanicsville was blessed to give away over $36,000 in scholarships this year. With the help of generous donors, six scholarship opportunities were offered this year. The Virginia Tax Credit scholarship provided over $12,000 to GCS families. The GCS Kings Scholarship provided tuition relief where there were financial-based needs. The Children of Pastors Scholarship offered tuition support to all students who have a parent serving as a full-time pas-
tor. The Ashley Memorial Scholarship was created to bless families who have a minor child with a significant disability whom they are raising at home. The Philippians 4:6 Scholarship was created to provide tuition support to single parents of GCS students. Two students, Lucas Kenney, seventh grade, and Yoon Lee, 10th grade, received the Seeds of Hope Scholarship. The mission of the Seeds of Hope Scholarship is to sow into the lives of future Christian leaders by providing financial support to families as they make sacrifices in choosing a Christ-centered education at Grace Christian School. Both recipients received $1,000 toward their school tuition.

Victim of Hanover apartment fire identified Hanover Fire-EMS Department officials have identified the victim of Saturday's fatal apartment fire on Garden Park Lane in Mechanicsville. Selina Rand, age 71, was found trapped in the apartment by a rapidly developing fire. She was quickly rescued by Hanover FireEMS crews upon their arrival. Rand was transported to VCU Medical Center and despite the efforts of responders, she succumbed to her injuries. The Hanover Office of the Fire Marshal has deemed the fire accidental and believed that it was caused by cigarette smoking. Two other civilians were treated at the scene for injuries related to blaze, but neither required transport to a hospital. One firefighter suffered a minor injury during the suppression operations. The firefighter was seen at a local emergency room and has since returned to duty.
Initially, we described the incident as an explosion, but after our investigation, we feel the incident was a rapidly developing fire fed by oxygen and the failure of a window. No other apartment units were damaged by the fire and damage is estimated at $36,000. Hanover Fire-EMS Department Officials would like to remind the public of the following safety recommendations as it relates to smoking: If you smoke, use only fire-safe cigarettes. If you smoke, smoke outside. Most deaths result from fires that started in living rooms, family rooms and dens or in bedrooms. Keep cigarettes, lighters, matches, and other smoking materials up high out of the reach of children, in a locked cabinet.
Use a deep, sturdy ashtray. Place it away from anything that can burn. Do not discard cigarettes in vegetation such as mulch, potted plants or landscaping, peat moss, dried grasses, leaves or other things that could ignite easily. Before you throw away butts and ashes, make sure they are out, and dousing in water or sand is the best way to do that. Never smoke and never allow anyone to smoke where medical oxygen is used. Medical oxygen can cause materials to ignite more easily and make fires burn at a faster rate than normal. It can make an existing fire burn faster and hotter.

OPINION | The Local Views
Overworked and overwhelmed? By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist
T
he region took a collective gasp last week as Richmond school officials announced that additional days off were being scheduled to allow teachers ample time to recharge from a seemingly overwhelming first months of school. There were the normal negative responses that seem to accompany any teacher-related issue, and some will always view the profession with skepticism. We’ve heard the old dog whistles —they get the summer off, work shorter hours and are off on weekends. Why should they complain? In reality, they are complaining across America, and Richmond is not the only district in the area to express concern regarding teacher workloads and stress levels. I, too, might have mistaken the recently expressed concerns as whining until I heard the concerns of one teacher firsthand and the challenges that many are facing as our kids return to school. A teacher spoke at a recent school board meeting describing a scheduling situation that would challenge the most dedicated of employees and pleading with officials to provide more time for teachers to do things like eat lunch and lesson plan. As teachers return to the classroom, the expectations are high. Return to learn plans are ambitious as administrators attempt to lessen the learning gap experienced during the pandemic. Since the pandemic, the introduction of virtual options for learning is also increasing workloads on some teachers who now must prepare for classroom lessons but also must ready for online instruction. Last year also exposed many districts to virtual instruction, and some systems are incorporating more and more blended programs into curriculums that include a combination of virtual and in class instruction.
“We are overworked and overwhelmed,” one teacher recently told board members at a school board meeting. Adding to the problem is a shortage of substitute teachers that is placing additional pressure on existing teachers and infringing on their lunch periods and planning sessions. Some systems, and not just in Richmond, are shutting down school either on a weekly or monthly basis to allow teachers time to plan and recharge. In addition to the increased workloads and added responsibilities, teachers are encountering an ever-increasing number of students with emotional or social issues, and disciplinary problems have increased, a trend that began well before the pandemic. It’s a new and challenging environment across the education spectrum, and returning to the classroom and making sure our kids regain that educational edge is the responsibility of the teachers we hire and trust to protect our children. Expecting them to perform these important duties without proper support or inadequate break times is something we’ve learned to accept; and teachers have, for the most part, answered that call and performed yeoman’s work during the past two years. It’s also important that as a public, we hear and acknowledge the concerns that many teachers are expressing. In many cases, their public airing of concerns has been minimized by the presence of louder voices expressing concerns regarding CRT or mask mandates. For a successful return to learn, we must listen to our teachers. Realizing there is a problem is often a first step toward finding a solution. Providing them time to perform their important work is a vital first step in that process. We expect great things from our educators, and they deliver, but this year is presenting additional challenges and demands on teachers that must be addressed. They are committed to closing that learning gap caused by the pandemic. We should be committed to making sure they have the time and support to accomplish those goals.

Colleague, friend remembers Frank Hargrove Sr. Dear Editor: Former Delegate Frank D. Hargrove Sr. was as rugged as the western Hanover terrain from whence he came. His stories about bombarding VMI with flour sacks as a student at VPI, daily walking 8 flights of stairs at the General Assembly, or annual debates about motorcycle helmet legislation were as legendary as the tomatoes of our native county’s fame. Growing up in Hanover County politics, the name Frank Hargrove was nearly synonymous with another local firebrand: Patrick Henry. Because of his larger than life persona, Del. Hargrove was one of the first people I sought out as a young man to get political advice. He asked me what I wanted to do with my life; I responded “to have your House seat.” Without waivering and with a memorable laugh, he outlined the steps I would later follow to serve alongside him in the oldest legislative body in America. He said, “you need to get involved. Join service organizations and help people.” He was right and he exemplified how to serve constituents the right way and better your home county in so doing. As a role model,

Frank Hargrove made being the junior Delegate from Hanover a true honor. Even during a self-inflicted controversy regarding whether Virginia should apologize for slavery, I admired how Del. Hargrove still found a way to reach out to those he’d aggrieved by advocating for a resolution to recognize Juneteenth. It took guts to weather that storm as he did. Guts and Frank Hargrove are synonymous. Del. Hargrove wasn’t always just a tough exterior. During his public service, he fought hard for his county whether non-state agency money for the Hanover Tavern or even carrying grass cutting legislation “by request,” and he helped so many Hanoverians with an uncommon charm that more likely than not rubbed off on him from his lovely late wife Oriana. I recall once after his asking non-profit representatives in formal meetings why they hadn’t gone into “for-profit” business, he put in a budget amendment to support their cause. You see, he didn’t have to fully agree with you to lend a hand, and with me, the abundance of advice meant a lot especially if you know the cross currents of our two political families. As a result, Del. Hargrove was one of the first people I wanted to tour our historic home in eastern Hanover so he could see how he had inspired our family to invest in our county’s heritage like he had done with his family home, Cool Water. Truthfully, I just wanted him to be proud of me. Del. Hargrove supported me in nearly everything I ever asked including being present for my rising as a Master Mason, standing beside me as I took the oath on my first day on the House floor, in organizing the Heritage and History of Hanover County book project see LETTERS, pg. 8

Readers offer voting tips, viewpoints Dear Editor, For the first time ever, our Ashland Town Council election will occur at the same time as the elections for state offices, and all names will be on the same ballot. We are concerned that people, especially newcomers, will not be aware of the Town Council election or the issues facing the town. The candidates for Town Council appear only on the ballots given to voters who live within the corporate limits of the
Town of Ashland. You can vote for two candidates. There is no party designation because Town Council elections are non-partisan. We believe that those running for Town Council should have some experience with the issues facing Ashland. At the very least, new Town Council candidates should have taken the Citizen Leadership Academy course or have served on a town commission, such as Planning. We support John Hodges and Dan McGraw, who are running for re-election. The two have done a fine job so far, have listened politely to opposing opinions, and have researched the different issues. They have promoted a cordial relationship with the county Board of Supervisors where possible. Because they have done so well, we think they should continue to serve on council and not be voted out. John Hodges was Hanover County’s Planning Director and former Deputy County Administrator before he retired. He graduated from University of Virginia in History and has a graduate degree from UVA in Planning. He has volunteered as a board member
and treasurer of Ashland Museum and was president of Habitat for Humanity, among other positions. He has a thorough knowledge of how the town and county governments work, which gives him experience on how to get things done. He is diplomatic and understated, which is a refreshing attribute among elected public servants. Today, he serves as the Vice Mayor of Ashland Town Council. He serves as the Ashland representative on the Richmond Regional Transportation Planning Organization and the Central Virginia Transportation Authority. In addition, he is Town Council’s Liaison to Randolph-Macon and Hanover County. For more information on him check out his Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/ HodgesForCouncil/about/?ref=page_ internal. Daniel McGraw teaches Latin and language exploratory in Hanover County schools. He graduated from Randolph-Macon in Classics and has graduate degrees in Education from VCU and Liberty University. He serves on the PlanRVA regional committee, is the council liaison to Town Planning and BZA, and is a member of Ashland
Kiwanis. He has used his tech knowledge in the service of local nonprofits. During his recent tenure in office, he successfully petitioned Congress to allow for municipalities to own and operate fiber optic cable lines. Check his Facebook page: https://www.facebook. com/mcgraw4council/. We believe the following issues are important to the town and that John and Dan both understand them thoroughly. Issue #1. For us, one primary issue is the CSX planned expansion throughout Virginia. It is an existential threat to our town because it would entail a 2-3-year construction period, may require removal of some businesses and homes on Center Street and Berkleytown, and would destroy property values throughout the town. Because our Town Council held firm against a proposed third rail through town, Amtrak and CSX have come to an agreement for at least the next twenty years that spares Ashland that third rail. But the existing council members know that they must remain vigilant. Issue #2. Another issue is how the town and Randolph-Macon College
negotiate their often-changing relationship, especially as the college expands to accommodate its increasing student enrollment. Issue #3. Ashland needs fast fiber optic internet as soon as possible. Strong internet attracts the kinds of businesses that Ashland needs. Issue #4. Planning issues, such as how dense and how quickly the town should develop, how to promote the businesses in town (businesses pay most of our expenses through their taxes), and how to improve the lot of those who cannot afford housing. Our town council members need to know that compared to Hanover County, Ashland already has more affordable housing. But there are things that the town can do to assist people below the poverty line, and Dan and John have been part of those solutions.

Information meetings scheduled for redistricting plans Hanover County has scheduled public information sessions on the proposed reapportionment of County election (magisterial) districts, including changes in board of supervisor election districts, precinct boundaries, and polling place locations. Members of the board of supervisors are elected and certain appointments are made on the basis of the districts. Reapportionment of districts is required every 10 years, following the census, by Va. Code Section 24.2-304.1. This process is also referred to as redistricting.
CALENDAR Continued from pg. 4
of 4. Proceeds go toward the many projects American Legion has for veterans and the youth of the community. The public is invited. Mechanicsville Baptist Church at 8016 Atlee Road is hosting a free Community Fall Festival from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. There will be food, inflatables, games, hayrides, live music, costume judging contest, and visits from Nutzy, Natasha, and Kickeroo.
In April 2020, the U.S. Census Bureau conducted the decennial census, which documented that Hanover County has a population of 109,991. Based on this population count, the County must apportion its board of supervisors election districts so that each district contains an approximately equal portion of the County’s population. This is accomplished through redistricting, which is the process of changing electoral district boundaries. Redistricting has absolutely no effect on school district boundaries. Several public information sessions intended
to educate the public and seek input on redistricting have been scheduled. No formal presentations will be given. Stations will be set up with pertinent maps and other materials available for review. Staff will be available to answer questions and receive comments. All sessions begin at 6 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 28, at Hanover High School, 10307 Chamberlayne Road, Mechanicsville VA 23116 Wednesday, Nov. 3, at Mechanicsville High School, 7052 Mechanicsville Turnpike, Mechanicsville VA 23111

Proceeds from the sales of the shoes collected in shoe drive fundraisers are used to feed, clothe, and house their families. One budding entrepreneur in Haiti even earned enough to send her son to law school. “We are excited about our shoe drive,” said Jo Ellen Schneider, PTSA Hospitality Chair. “We know that most people have extra shoes in their closets they would like to donate to us. By doing so, we raise money for students who apply for the Atlee PTSA scholarship and help grant teacher wishes, and we have the chance to help families in developing nations who need economic opportunities. It’s a win-win for everyone.” By donating gently worn, used and new shoes to the Atlee PTSA, the shoes will be given a second chance and make a difference in people’s lives around the world. Atlee PTSA is part of a nationally and locally recognized organization benefiting your child, your school, and your community. PTSA helps parents, teachers, and students to be connected to school happenings, networking with other parents and teachers and also helping others in the school community.

was performed by volunteers. That core group formed the roots of the Ashland Theatre Foundation. “The theatre basically reopened to the public in December 2018,” Caldwell said. “They had a great 2019 and then they got in to March 2020 and had a showing of ‘Freddy vs. Jason’ Halloween weekend planned when the decision was made to shut down the state of Virginia.” During the shutdown, the theatre held pop-up events to bolster operations and offered the marquee for rent to the public. Caldwell said the Foundation also took advantage of shuttered venue grants available during the pandemic, an effort spearheaded by board member Chris Ray “to keep the doors open and keep the marquee running.” “Between March 2020 and July 2021, the theatre did a small series of drive-in events in the field behind our building in a partnership with the

from his Cool Water home. Known for his humility, Hargrove rarely discussed his exploits on the football field or time in the service, but he was not shy about sharing stories of his airborne exploits. He told numerous stories about dropping flour bombs on the VMI campus. After his military service, Hargrove entered VPI, where he graduated with a degree in business administration and joined his father in the insurance business. Before it was sold in 1997, A. W.

Town,” she said. “They also did a series of concerts called Tunes on the Tracks.” Those events were scheduled during the summer and fall, but the winter of 2020 the building was basically closed. The theatre opened in 1948 with a showing of “Sitting Pretty” with Robert Young and Maureen O’Hara and operated until the 1990s with numerous periods of non-use. Owners Jean and A.D. Whittaker donated the building to the Town in 2013, and proposals were issued seeking a nonprofit to run the operation of the theatre. A group of citizens who eventually became the Ashland Theatre Foundation came forward and began plans to reopen the facility. Throughout 2014, community work days were planned where volunteers provided the sweat equity required to bring the building back to life. An estimated $40,000 in donated skills covered the plumbing, electrical and plaster work, allowing the theatre to open for pop-up events. In 2015, Ashland Town
Council approved the Foundation’s plans to renovate and reopen the theatre, and a Capital Campaign entitled Ashland Theatre: A Classic Reborn was instated to begin the fundraising efforts. Aided by numerous grants and an annual commitment from the Town, renovation work began in 2017 and was completed in 2018 for the grand reopening. “The building is owned by the Town of Ashland and the Ashland Theatre Foundation is in charge of operations,” Caldwell said. Clark Mercer is president of the Foundation’s Board and Hugh Joyce serves as vice president. “This organization more than any other I’ve seen is hands-on and really involved and it’s apparent they really care and don’t mind getting their hands dirty,” said Marketing and Administrative Assistant Kelly Caddell. “We would often see our board president Clark up on a ladder at 7 a.m. changing the marquee message,” Caldwell added. Caldwell worked in New
York for the past 11 years, mostly focused on nonprofit theatre, and returned to Virginia during the pandemic. After she was hired in July, plans were made to reopen the theatre. “We were aiming for a reopening at some point early in the fall, and the board has been really great and we’ve set a reasonable goal of being open three to four days a week,” Caldwell said. She said post pandemic economic conditions have challenged venue dependent operations nationwide resulting in the decision not to open seven days a week at this time. “One thing we are discovering – as venues across the nation are discovering – is that just because you have reopened doesn’t mean you have a full audience of people who are willing to attend,” she said. “People are being more cautious. They are not buying tickets months out because we don’t know what is going to happen.” Just in time for the busy holiday season and the surrounding activities, the Ashland Theatre reopened
Hargrove, a self taught sailing enthusiast, also served as Commodore of the Fishing Bay Yacht Club. While flying over Hanover in his plane, Hargrove spotted Cool Water, an 18th Century residence that would become home base for Hargrove and his wife, Oriana. The couple purchased the home, restored it and built an adjoining landing strip to accommodate the plane.They were married for 57 years until her death in 2010. In 1981, Hargrove was elected to the House of Delegates, beginning a 28-year tenure where he was known for his firm handshake and constituent-friendly style. Christopher Peace served with Hargrove in the General Assembly, and, as the junior delegate from
Hanover, learned the political ropes from the seasoned legislator. “During his public service he fought hard for his county, whether non-state agency money for the Hanover Tavern or even carrying grass cutting legislation ‘by request,’ and he helped so many Hanoverians with an uncommon charm that, more likely than not, rubbed off on him from his lovely late wife Oriana,” Peace wrote last week. “I recall once after his asking nonprofit representatives in formal meetings why they hadn’t gone into ‘for-profit’ business, he put in a budget amendment to support their cause. You see, he didn’t have to fully agree with you to lend a hand, and with me, the abundance of advice meant a
lot, especially if you know the cross currents of our two political families.” Delegate Scott Wyatt currently represents the 55th District, and offered his condolences regarding Hargrove’s passing. “Terri and I are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our friend Delegate Frank Hargrove Sr. Delegate Hargrove was a true “Statesman” in the Virginia General Assembly. For 28 years he represented the citizens in Hanover County. He had a tough exterior and yet was very compassionate, being committed to the citizens’ needs. It was an honor to have his endorsement and support when I first announced to run for Delegate. Please keep his family Dale, Frank Jr., Stewart,

last month and had a series of events planned for the upcoming months. “We’re doing movies and concerts and we have a couple of really interesting talks scheduled, and we are really trying to connect with Randolph Macon to get their student body in. We’ve done two events with them since Labor Day,” she said. “We are trying to tiptoe back in to the public.” Since it’s opening on Oct. 1, the public is making its way back to a familiar location and the opening crowds have been good. “We ran a weekend of the new Adams Family animated movie followed by a nine show-
ing run of the new James Bond movie. It’s amazing how many people are coming out.” Once the Bond movie ends this weekend, the theatre is preparing for a busy Halloween weekend in the town with a schedule of events that includes a full slate of scary movies. Live theatre returns to the Ashland Theatre in early November with a production of Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town” performed by the Whistle Stop Theatre Company of Ashland. “My background is in theatre so I’m thrilled to have some live theatre on stage,” Caldwell said. “I think we are going to try
Wellesley, and their families in your thoughts and prayers. Hanover County is a better place due to his many years of service.” Hargrove leaves a long and lasting legacy of public service, and the contributions he made to Hanover County are too numerous to list. From his tenacious efforts to build Hanover Airport where the field is named in his honor, or his dogged fight to gain restoration funds for the Virginia War Memorial, he made a lasting impression on all he met or knew. And his sense of adventurous nature endured throughout his life. In his 50s, Hargrove began long distance running and cycling. He also continued charitable work that included
working on the governing bodies of two colleges, RandolphMacon and Ferrum. He is survived by his children and their spouses, Dale Alderman (Richard Alderman), Frank Jr. (Elizabeth), Stewart (Lynn), and Wellesley (Kim), and grandchildren Oriana (Douglas Fletcher), Stewart (Dana), Sarah, Mark (Amber), Hargrove III, Madeleine, Mollie, Hannah, Graeme, and Bailey, and one great-grandchild, Stewart. A private funeral and burial are planned, but contributions can be made to The Virginia War Memorial Foundation, 621 South Belvidere Street, Richmond, VA 23220, or Randolph-Macon College for the Hargrove Scholarship, P.

Ashland Town Council finalizes ARPA spending plan By Jim Ridolphi For The Mechanicsville Local
A
fter weeks of planning and discussion, Ashland Town Council adopted the final version of a plan that would distribute more than $8 million in American Rescue Plan Act funding for various projects throughout the town. Last month, council members approved the first part of the spending plan, a Tier 1 list that included a round of funding for the hiring of a community engagement manager, the replacement of accounting systems, and an updated Ashland Police Department phone system for a combined cost of about $637,000. Approximately $219,000 would be allocated for new HVAC systems at the Ashland Police Department and the Dominion Innovation Center. Tier 1 approved spending also included a plan to provide a public Wi-Fi system in downtown Ashland and replenish funds cut from the previous budget for municipal broad- band. That project would require $676,000 of ARPA funding. Also included are major investments in stormwater management to meet Chesapeake Bay environmental requirements and replenish the previous year’s budget cuts in the area of capital improvements. Total cost of that item is $2.4 million. That project would also bolster programs such as residential improvements, the Vaughan
Road extension, drainage, vehicles and strategic property acquisition. Also included is the addition of a police officer position in the APD’s five-year plan at a cost of $164,000. Parks and Recreation is slated to receive about $600,000 of that approved funding to replenish all maintenance capital fund projects. It also includes money for Carter Pool additions connecting the Fall Line Trail to downtown Ashland, playground equipment replacement and property acquisitions for future parks. Council also approved funding for economic development and business assistance. That $757,000 is targeted for streetscape improvement, downtown parking solutions, gateway signage, public art and to encourage redevelopment of blighted structures in the town. Finally, Tier I includes $165,000 of administrative funds that can be supplied by ARPA to offset the costs of organizing and running the ARPA funding programs. Town Manager Joshua Farrar previously listed Council’s goals in allocating the funding that included: Focus on one-time large projects the town would struggle to accomplish, or not be able to accomplish, without ARPA funding. Focus on projects and programs already identified by an adopted town plan including, but not limited to, the Capital Improvement Program, Parks and Recreation Master Plan and Transportation Plan. Use ARPA funds to strategically reduce

the expenditure of local tax revenue in the town budget, and limit any ongoing costs because of ARPA spending. “I think we’ve done a good job of meeting those goals,” Farrar told Council members last week. “There were not too many things that were asked of us that were eligible that we weren't able to find a way to support in one way or another.” Council considered Part II of that plan last week, a package that totaled about $2.7 million in projects and improvements. “We’re going to go over our spending plan for Tier II,” Farrar said. “ARPA is federal legislation to combat the COVID epidemic and rebuild the economy. We’ve used the analogy – and I think it’s a good one – that the CARES Act that came in 2020 was to put the fire out and ARPA is to rebuild the foundation of the community.” Ashland received about $8.1 million through the ARPA funding delivered in two truancies, one received earlier this summer and one due next June. “We’ve been talking about this for a few months, and I think we have made good progress,” Farrar said. “In September we presented you with a universe of projects, all the ones we could come up with.” Farrar said although this is the final step for Council, it’s only the beginning for staff. “For Council this part may be coming to the end of your major role, but for staff, this is really just the beginning. Once you approve all of this, we need to go and make it happen.” He said staff is in the process of meeting with
department heads figuring out ways to phase the long list of projects approved under the ARPA funding. The town must spend the funds by Dec. 31, 2024, but if construction plans are approved and work is in progress, that deadline can be extended to Dec. 31, 2026. “At this point (Tier II) we start talking a little more about community programming, more investment in Parks and Rec, additional government operations and some economic development and affordable housing,” Farrar said. All of three of the community programs requesting funding at the last meeting were approved in some form. That includes Circles of Ashland, Divine Assist and the YMCA’s community health outreach program. Tier II includes money to buy additional land near Taylor Street Park and there’s also funding for a heritage type park for the Berkleytown area. “Both of those are really good investments for us to make,” Farrar said. There is also a plan to support venue-dependent businesses that suffered during the pandemic. “We are going to come up with a program based on that eligible funding and put that up soon and make sure we get as many applicants who we think would be eligible,” the town manager said. Funds are also allocated to support downtown music, a program that many business owners have lauded as a significant step in attracting visitors and increasing business in that area. see ARPA, pg. 17
Pets of the Week Photos submitted by Andrew Hodnett
The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has wonderful pets available to a good home. Bear, ID# 473920, is a 4-year-old neutered male Canine/Labrador Retriever/Shepherd mix. He has had his first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative.

ARPA Continued from pg. 16
The affordable housing element consists of two projects under the Tier II spending plan. The first would focus on providing homes with water and sewer hookups in the town. “We’re not going to get that far with the funding we have, but I do like the idea of us dipping our toe into that kind of project, see how easy or hard it may be, and search for grants or local funding for the future,” Farrar said. There’s also a plan to purchase a dilapidated home, partner with a nonprofit to renovate the property and make it available as a nonprofit affordable home. “We deal with the blight but we’re also able to offer affordability,” Farrar said. The total cost of the Tier II plan is about $2.3 million and added with the Tier I approvals totals around $8 million, he said. “That would leave us $175,000 in cushion. I like the idea of leaving some either for additional requests or cost overruns.” Farrar suggested approving a tiered approach to the premium pay aspect of the plan provid-
ing more compensation for lower paid town employees. More than 20 employees would qualify for a $5,500 premium pay. Mid level employees would be eligible for $4,000 and higher paid employees would receive $2,000. Public safety employees already received $7,750 under the CARES funding so they will receive $2,000 in premium pay. Total cost of that program is $226,000. Regarding the overall impact of the ARPA funding, Farrar said “I like the fact that we spread it around. We are making major investments in infrastructure, also supporting the community. Parks and Recreation, something the community has been telling us for the last few years is a priority. There are also things like economic development, the things that let us keep investing after ARPA is gone.” Town Council approved the Tier II funding including the Premium Pay Plan by a unanimous vote. Next month’s Town Council meeting scheduled for Tuesday, Nov. 2 has been moved to Wednesday, Nov. 3 due to the upcoming election.
TOURISM Continued from pg. 1
That all changed in March 2020, when COVID gripped the nation and tourism came to a standstill. “We were hit very hard, as the entire world was,” Berry said. “April was the basement for travel and tourism not only for us but every destination in the United States.” In 2019, the region welcomed more than 8 million visitors who spent $2.6 billion in the area. In 2020, those numbers were reduced to about 5 million visitors and $1.2 billion in revenue. “Right now, we are looking at great things to come and we are in the third quarter of the calendar year and we see business holding and weekends selling out all the time,” Berry said. “Leisure travel came back in 2021, and meetings and conventions are coming back in 2022, and business travel not until 2023,” he added. Tourism figures in July and August exceeded those record numbers from 2019, largely due to a healthy leisure travel segment.
Jim Ridolphi / The Local
Vice President Catherine O’Donnell said Hanover County has the kind of attractions visitors are looking for as the tourism industry rebounds from the pandemic.
“It was family and friends wanting to see the destinations,” he explained. “We knocked it out of the park.” He described rebounding lodging numbers as “better than ever.” Agency Vice President Katherine O’Donnell said extended media coverage is partially responsible for those robust tourism numbers. “They feel inspired when they read articles about our region and put them on their short list,” O’Donnell said.
She presented an overview of the American traveler circa 2021. A large majority, about 87%, have travel plans within the next six months. Many are making decisions regarding destinations based on COVID-19 safety, and many have indicated they will not visit localities where safety is not a priority. O’Donnell said surveys indicate the county is a great position to offer what visitors are seeking post pandemic. The No. 1 activity listed is visits with friends and family, with taking a road trip or visiting a state park as top priorities. Fall festivals and viewing spectacular seasonal foliage is also near the top of the list. “When it comes to activities, Hanover is a great destination to find what people want to do this fall,” she said. “You have everything on that list in Hanover, so you are well suited as to what travelers are looking for in their destinations this fall.” O’ Donnell said that following previous recessions, visitors have opted for less expensive vacations and destinations, but that is not the case regarding

to do some more of this in the future.” The first night performance of “Our Town” on Nov. 3 is being offered on a pay-whatyou-will basis, and additional performances are schedule for Nov. 12 and 13. Purchase tickets at https://whistlestoptheatre.weebly.com/purchase-tickets.html. There are also two concerts scheduled for November, Ralph Stanley II and the Sideline Band. “We’re trying to schedule events in conjunction with the Ashland Town events like the tree lighting on Nov. 6, small business Saturdays and the Ashland Christmas Market. We are going to try to have Santa Claus in here that day, which is Dec. 4. When anything is happening downtown we want to have our doors open,” Caldwell said. With the successful reopening, Caldwell is anticipating great things for the future of the theatre. “I think the vision is to have this open consistently as an actual mixed-use space and have
this recovery. “They are spending more. There is something called revenge travel, where people are so upset they didn’t get to travel in 2020, they’re taking bigger trips and spending more money.” She said current visitors are also more likely to spend money at local businesses. “They want an authentic experiences when they come to Hanover and our community,” O’Donnell said. O’Donnell said Hanover is well situated to welcome visitors from all four major segments of tourism including general tourism where visitors were drawn to the area from their travels on Interstate 95 or 64. Friends and family visits, travel for business and sports tourism are also strong segments in Hanover and the region. “What leads our recovery is the diversity of our tourism,” O’Donnell said. “In essence this really allows us to be diversified in our tourism ecosystem instead of having all of our eggs in one basket, which can be more difficult to recover from,” she added. Although business travel
movies, but not just movies; have concerts, but not just concerts, and really make this a space where things are going on that will interest everyone,” Caldwell said. Caddell said the venue is available for birthday parties or other celebrations and can accommodate business meetings and even weddings. “Just having the people in Ashland and Hanover County and the greater Richmond area know that we do exist and understand we’re back open and running consistent events is foremost, and we are open to suggestions from the public,” Caldwell said. She is keeping an eye to the future and hopes to bring back the Auesome Movies series, a showing aimed at viewers on the autism spectrum designed to allow audiences to talk, get up and react to the movie. “There’s no theatre etiquette in those showings,” Caldwell said. “We’re excited to get that up and running again.” In addition to Caldwell and Caddell, Rachel Groover is also on staff serving as technical director and projectionist for the theatre.

has been the last to recover fully from the pandemic and its effects, O’Donnell said there are encouraging signs. For the past nine months, the agency has focused on trade shows and other venues to attract that segment. According to O’Donnell, those efforts are now turning into future bookings. “That’s a good shift that we are seeing.” Additional flights from RIC have also aided in the recovery, and air traffic is steadily recovering, even exceeding past numbers in some cases. O’Donnell said potential visitors are guided to the metro area through the agency’s presence on social media and a blog, and media firm in New York promotes stories that highlight the region to national publications. “Our word gets out much faster when people are reading about us.” The agency is focused on three major projects for the upcoming year. They include acquiring a headquarter hotel near the Convention Center to “maximize its performance,” a messaging campaign that combines tourism and economic development, and an

increased focus on workforce development. J.C. Poma, director of community relations, said the healthy weekend visitor figures are not only due to friends and family visits, but also a robust sports tourism segment that has rebounded nicely. Last year, sports events accounted for 70% of the market. “Sitting here today, it’s almost 80%,” Poma said. “When you look at the regional investment in sports, it’s vital that we continue to work with all of our Parks and Recs including Derek (Stamey). During the pandemic, sports is what kept our hotels here in Hanover along Route 295…. busy.” Richmond Region Tourism provided softball field fencing at Pole Green Park and plans to continue providing support for future improvements that could include trail upgrades or additional softball fields. “The theme with your Parks and Recreation Department is to look at what you guys have been doing for so long and enhancing those, and we’re excited for what the future holds in terms of sports tourism,” Poma concluded.

Allen rules as Patriots hold off Hanover defense forced a punt, and Sahnow led the team down the field. As time expired, Sahnow found Rock Schraa in the end zone for a 6-yard scoring connection, making the final 35-27. The Hawks turn their attention to Henrico, who will be playing their second game this week after hosting Hermitage in a game played Tuesday night. Wins over the Warriors and rival Atlee on November 5th are essential to their postseason hopes. Patrick Henry, meanwhile, will try to hand Varina their first loss of the season on the Blue Devils’ Senior Night. They’ll need, not just a cleaner performance, but likely a spotless one, to make that happen. Rob Witham can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.
By Rob Witham for The Local ASHLAND — If it was the final time Jordan Allen played at Patrick Henry High School, he certainly cemented his legacy. On Senior Night, and on the same day the Patriot quarterback verbally committed to play at Davidson College, Allen threw for 205 yards and three touchdowns and rushed for 131 yards as Patrick Henry defeated Hanover 35-27 to improve to 6-2 and solidify their hold on one of eight playoff berths in Class 4, Region B with two games left in the regular season. For Hanover, now 3-4, the loss jeopardizes their hopes for a playoff bid, placing them in a position where their final two contests, home dates with Henrico and Atlee, are must wins. “Jordan’s really tough,” noted Patriots head coach Ken Wakefield, taking a pause to think of his performance. “He’s a heady football player, and, yeah, I’m glad he’s on our side.” Allen’s night began with a 39-yard touchdown strike to Jayden Mines after the Patriots recovered a Hanover fumble on an option play on their second play from scrimmage. Six minutes later, the Patriots punched it in on a 5-yard Mines run for a quick 14-0 lead. Defense ruled the next 12 minutes until Hanover quarterback Cole Elrod burst downfield for a 39-yard rushing score to cut the lead to 14-7. However, on Elrod’s last snap of the half,

That half began with a nearly five-minute Patrick Henry drive, punctuated by an Allen pass which tipped off the hands of one receiver into the arms of Brandon Drake, who rumbled to the end zone to complete the 31-yard touchdown pass. When Dashawn Green scored on a 20-yard run with 1:00 left in
the third quarter, the outcome seemed inevitable. But Patrick Henry spent the fourth quarter, not as much fending off Hanover, as it was more so allowing them to stick around. Ten penalties on the night included several personal fouls and an unsportsmanlike conduct call. In one drive, two calls on one play forced the Patriots to a first down and 40 yards to go. This deep into the season, and with unbeaten Varina on
the road Friday night, Wakefield was understandably frustrated by the mistakes which allowed the game’s final score to be closer than the game actually was. “We knew they would battle to the end, that’s what we expected. But we’ve got to do a better job of playing much cleaner than we did tonight,” Wakefield explained. One key play call that was unexpected came with just over four minutes remaining, as after a timeout, the Patriots, facing
fourth down at the Hanover 23, called a pass play, Allen sending a spiral over the middle to Christian Berry, who caught the pass in double coverage at the five and then took two Hawks for a trip across the goal line, willing his way in to score. The tally made it 35-13. It turns out they needed it to win. Hanover quickly answered on a Chase Flora 25-yard run a minute later, converting a twopoint try to make it 35-21. After an onside kick failed, the Hawks

Dynamic King William reins in Mustangs By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor CENTRAL GARAGE — Friday night’s contest would be a win-win for host King William. With the Cavaliers in Virginia High School League Class 2, even a loss to visiting Mechanicsville — a Class 4 team — would have given King William a boost in the VHSL Class 2 power rankings. A win would just have given the team a bigger boost. The Cavaliers opted for the bigger boost. They dominated the Mustangs throughout the game and rolled to a 56-35 win over their larger rivals from down south. “I think our kids did a great job tonight. They came out here and fought hard,” said King William head coach Scott Moore. “It’s always tough playing up. . . . It’s not a complete risk when you go in there. You get some reward for either outcome. It’s just better with this outcome. Winning is always better.” Moore said the Cavaliers (6-1) have played up a lot this season: Class 3 Caroline, Class 3 I.C. Norcomm, Class 3 Lafayette, and then Mechanicsville. So far, they are 3-1 against teams above their Class 2. This helps their power rankings this season since most of their Tidewater District rivals are in Class 1. But it also helps in what they hope will be their near future. “This kind of environment should push us as we prepare for a long playoff run — which I hope we get,” Moore said. King William got on the scoreboard first with 1:38 in the first quarter on a 35-yard run by Jayveon Robinson. Isaiah Stockwell’s kick made it 7-0. But the Mustangs had some

to tie the game. There was 1:24 left in the opening frame, and the Cavaliers were not in the mood to waste time. They marched
into the red zone on the next drive and scored — with 15 seconds left in the quarter — on an 11-yard run by Wake Forestcommit Demond Claiborne.
Mid-way through the second quarter, Mechanicsville again evened the score on a 14-yard run by Cole Varner, but the Mustangs’ fortunes began
to ebb afterward. King William scored two touchdowns — the first on a 4-yard run by Claiborne with 3:11 left in the half and the second on a 1-yard pass from Robinson to Kaleb Shelton with 29 seconds left — to take the lead for good. The Cavaliers’ explosive offense was led by Claiborne with 17 carries for 173 yards — despite sitting out much of the second half after getting banged up in the first — Robinson, who ran 11 times for 159 yards and who completed 4-of-8 passes for 90 yards. “Everybody knows about [Claiborne]. He’s just an outstanding player,” Moore said. “{Robinson’s] a great player, too. He just got an offer today from Morgan State, so he’s picked up his first (college) offer. We’re really excited about those two guys. They’ve done a great job week in and week out.” King William and Mechanicsville traded a flurry of touchdowns in the third quarter. Tbe Cavaliers struck first just after kickoff on a 41-yard run by Claiborne 34 seconds into the half. The Mustangs responded with 8:13 in the half on a 4-yard run by Colby Messe. King William scored again at the 4:39 mark on a 1-yard run by Claiborne, and Mechanicsville again came back with a score on a 3-yard run by Claiborne with 1:48 left in the frame. The Cavaliers padded their lead with the help of a pick six by Kaleb Shelton with 8:56 left. The Mustangs got the last word with 29 seconds left on a 17-yard run by Varner, but it was too little, too late to affect the outcome. Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.
Yellow Jackets win in penalty-ridden game By Rob Witham for The Local ASHLAND — Reading the scoreboard, and, upon seeing ‘Randolph-Macon 49, Apprentice School 7’, one would think the Yellow Jackets cruised to an easy victory. But anyone who witnessed Saturday’s game under the lights at Day Field knows that Randolph-Macon did not produce their best effort of the season, and left questions in the minds of fans who still cling to hope for a postseason berth for their Yellow Jackets. Entering the game, Randolph-Macon (7-1), had committed just 17 penalties in seven games, among the best in the nation. They were called for nine penalties Saturday night, costing them 90 yards. While the game’s outcome was not affected by the infractions, the quality of their final two opponents should force this team to make this performance an anomaly and return to their usual disciplined self. “You’ve got to give Apprentice some credit. I think their kids were excited to play,” Yellow Jacket head coach Pedro Arruza said. “In fact, I think their guys were more excited to play than maybe our guys were.” The excitement, and the effort, was there for the Builders (2-5) throughout the game. But they were overmatched in terms of talent, power and speed. Starting quarterback Mason Tatum struggled in the first half and was pulled for Grant Swanger in the second half, who led Apprentice to its lone touchdown drive to start the third period, driving 75 yards in eight plays, sparked by a pass to Nick Pierce for 28 yards to the Yellow Jacket 6. Two plays later, Keshaun Williams scored from 4 yards out.
sluggish drive at the Builders’ 49. A 15-yard run from DeLeon down to the 10 was called back for holding. Overcoming that, Presley Egbers was able to find an opening over right tackle to hit the end zone untouched on a 3-yard score for a 21-0 lead. The Yellow Jackets got the ball back with 1:36 left, turning on the two-minute drill offense and scoring when Brecht Heuchan found David Wallis for a 22-yard touchdown. The throw was the longest of the night for Randolph-Macon. After the lone Builder score, the Yellow Jackets answered quickly, thanks to a Kwesi Clarke 57-yard touchdown run, then — after a second Richardson interception near midfield — scoring on a 13-yard rush from Clarke. In less than five minutes, it became 42-7. The Yellow Jackets rushed for 300 yards, led by DeLeon with 97. With 826 yards in eight games, the Powhatan product is 17th in NCAA Division III in rushing yards. Clarke had 89 yards, while Aaron Acevedo churned out 76, 55 of them on a touchdown run late in the third quarter. Heuchan went 15-of-24 for 140 yards, but had several uncharacteristic bad passes when compared to his body of work so far. Tyler DeBerry led the defense with five solo tackles. With Washington and Lee’s win Saturday over Bridgewater, the Generals are one conference win away from taking the title away from the Yellow Jackets.

Langer keeps cool on 18th green for victory By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor RICHMOND — Bernhard Langer is normally quite a cool customer on the golf course. He says he has emotions, but most of the time they’re not all that obvious. Sunday, after he sank a birdie putt of the first playoff hole to become the oldest winner in PGA Champions Tour history, his emotions were quite obvious. As the gallery roared, he pumped both fists in the air in a well-earned display of triumph. Langer won after Doug Barron, who started the 18th hole in first place during regulation play, lipped out on a potential birdie putt from 6 feet out. Langer’s putt was just about the same distance away — but his aim was deadly accurate. “Well, it’s been about a year and a half since I’ve won, so that’s a very long time. I’ve had some very close calls, I’ve lost some playoffs, finished runnerup several times, so I wanted this real bad,” Langer said. “In a playoff, you just never know. We saw what happened. Mine could have lipped out and Doug’s could have gone in, who knows? But it was an awesome feeling and both Terry (Holt), my caddie, and I were trying really, really hard these last few months and we were knocking on the door. I mean, I’ve had, I don’t know, three or four, five top-five finishes lately. When you don’t get the W, it’s a little disappointing.” All through the day, Langer had been battling to stay at the top of the leaderboard. Steve Flesch, Ernie Else, Ken Duke, Steven Alker and Doug Barron were all within striking distance of each other. During the final two holes, only Langer and Barron remained in contention — and Barron had finished and

ing which says, ‘You can do all things through Christ, who strengthens you,’ ” Langer said. “I said that over and over today and it just gave me a peace and a belief that I can do it, because I am 64 and that’s — it doesn’t get easier when you get older. There’s a lot of young guns out here trying to take over.” Langer and Barron both left themselves long putts for eagle on the playoff, and neither was in great position. Barron had a long chip off the left fringe for eagle. Langer had a long chip or putt from off the right fringe. He chose to putt. “There’s always choices,” Langer said. “I was thinking of putting, then hybrid, then lob wedging it up there. I thought the way the fringe looked and the lie, I thought putting is probably the best under the circumstance. Thank goodness it didn’t bounce too bad and I got it up there within reasonable distance.” While Barron would have preferred to win, he was happy that his friend Langer was the one to beat him. He was also happy to have been on the 18th green in a playoff for the win. “I don’t aspire to play when I’m at the same age as him,” Barron said. “He’s just an anomaly. He’s incredibly, incredibly gifted and he’s one of my heroes and good friends. I’m very fortunate to call him a very dear friend. If I’m going to get beat, I don’t mind getting beat by him. He’s one of those guys that you just never can pull against.” Langer said his win might be an inspiration to those whose age is no longer just a number.

Weaknesses evident in R-MC win over Guilford for Guilford, while Abby Cook, who was in goal in the first half for the Yellow Jackets, earned the victory and had the only Randolph-Macon save of the day. The Yellow Jackets scored 12 goals in their last seven contests, going 4-3 during that span. But five goals were in their win over Randolph on Oct. 13, and those three defeats were all by shutout. “Anything can happen in this last week,” Howell said when asked about the final week of the regular season. “Everybody is jockeying for position in the ODAC. No matter what happens for us, we’re going to end up in the first round playing a really good team.” Two good teams are left on the calendar as the Yellow Jackets go to Virginia Wesleyan
Wednesday evening, then host Washington and Lee Saturday at 11 a.m. at Nunnally Field. The Marlins enter the week tied for first with Lynchburg with 21 points, with Bridgewater in third with 20. Washington and Lee is in fourth place at 17 points, followed by Shenandoah at 16 and Randolph-Macon at 15. The top eight teams advance to the ODAC championship quarterfinal round on Tuesday, Nov. 2. Two wins this week, and Randolph-Macon could vault into the top four in the standings, giving them hosting privileges in the quarterfinals. But to do it, they’ll need to start seizing the day and become the ODAC’s most opportunistic team. Rob Witham can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.

By Rob Witham for The Local ASHLAND — An old saying reminds us that we should not let opportunity pass us by. That is the No. 1 thought in the minds of each member of Randolph-Macon women’s soccer as they embark on the final week of the regular season. After defeating Guilford Saturday on Nunnally Field 2-0 to move back into sixth place in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference, head coach Jay Howell, while pleased with the victory, pointed to how the match exposed an ongoing issue with his team — one that could cost them dearly down the stretch. “We created a lot of opportunities. We created a lot of corner kicks by creating good spots,” Howell noted. “We continue to struggle a bit on finishing off our opportunities.” As it unfolded — especially in the second half — the match felt like the final score should have been 4-0, or 5-0. The Yellow Jackets (8-7, 4-3 ODAC)

of the season, return to their disciplined style of football, beat their final two opponents impressively, then wait to hear from the NCAA Division III Championship committee. “I think an at-large at this point is tough. I really do,” Arruza said, discussing the five coveted bids given to teams who do not win their conference title. With wins over Shenandoah, which plays at Day Field Saturday, and rival HampdenSydney, which comes to Ashland on Nov. 13, RandolphMacon would finish their regu-

held the Quakers to two shots in the first half, and none in the second. The final 45 minutes unveiled a constant narrative of the Quakers trying to clear the ball past midfield, only to find the Yellow Jackets bringing it right back into the offensive zone. But as Howell noted, Randolph-Macon created tons of scoring opportunities, but only connected twice. In the 16th minute, Leah Conrad
squirted the ball into the box to Olivia Owens, who, as she was heading to the turf, used the left foot to send the ball past Guilford goalkeeper Ady Franken for a 1-0 advantage. The Yellow Jackets earned seven corners in each half, but 14 chances yielded no goals. To give Randolph-Macon more peace of mind, less than a minute after coming in as substitutes, Lora Bertram fed Riley Russ, who fired a shot into the
lar season at 9-1, which would be their fourth nine-win season in six years, a feat never accomplished by the program. Take away the abbreviated spring season where they went 5-0, and the Yellow Jackets’ last three full seasons (2018, 2019, 2021) would all have nine wins. That has never happened either. Yellow Jacket fans hope their team turns a corner and gets back to championship-level football when they battle the Hornets at 1 p.m. Rob Witham can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.
