Public hearing set for redistricting plan By Jim Ridolphi For The Mechanicsville Local
Jim Ridolphi / The Local
Mayor Steve Trivett welcomes visitors to the lawn at Town Hall in Ashland where approximately 1,000 gathered to light up the tree and begin Ashland’s glorious Holiday celebration, Light Up the Tracks. Several council members commented on the success of the project at last week’s council meeting.
Heritage park result of community partnerships By Jim Ridolphi For The Mechanicsville Local A plan to construct a heritage park in the Berkleytown area of Ashland gathered momentum at last week’s Ashland Town Council meeting. The panel unanimously endorsed an action item that formally placed the proposed site under Town con-
trol. Hanover-King William Habitat for Humanity donated the property to the town. Town Manger Josh Farrar said accepting a piece of property does not usually warrant council action, “but this one has a story to it and we wanted to make sure to present it to you and share the story.” see HERITAGE, pg. 14
Hanover supervisors approved a request for a public hearing next month regarding the adjustment of magisterial districts in the county. The U.S. Constitution requires localities to provide equal and proportional representation, and the Constitution of Virginia mandates that localities redistrict every 10 years. The state requires that “election districts shall be composed of contiguous and compact territory and shall be constituted as to give, as nearly as practicable, represen-
tation in proportion to the population of the district.” “The county’s magisterial districts are subject to redistricting requirements set forth in the constitution of Virginia,” County Attorney Dennis Walter said. The courts have also been injected into the redistricting discussion and process and endorsed the one person, one vote concept and encouraged strict compliance. However, court decisions have also codified that some mathematical deviation is acceptable and have accepted a 5% rate as acceptable. see REDISTRICTING, pg. 8

County Attorney Dennis Walter presented a draft redistricting plan and asked supervisors to approve a public hearing Dec. 8. The plan must be submitted to the Commonwealth’s Attorney General’s Office by Dec. 31,2021.
Final FY21 financial numbers exceed projections By Jim Ridolphi For The Mechanicsville Local

Departing Finance Director Jacob Sumner.
Finance Division Director Lauren Null told supervisors the financial news was good for Hanover County as she presented a positive annual financial report for the fiscal year that ended June 30 earlier this month. Null shared the annual financial report with board members at a meeting earlier this month and the full financial report is
available on the county’s website. “Fiscal Year 2021 revenues totaled $280.6 million, which is 5% higher than the appropriated budget,” Null said. “Final yearend transfers and expenditures totaled $258 million, or 94% of the appropriated budget.” Those figures resulted in a positive operating balance for the county that totaled $31.2 million. “The combination of additional

Proceeds from this year’s No Room at the Inn will build two houses in Haiti and support Mechanicsville Churches Emergency Functions.

ore than a quarter of a million dollars raised. Twenty-six homes built in Haiti. Dozens of local families living in safe housing. As it marks the 14th annual No Room at the Inn exhibit, Catholic Church of the Redeemer is preparing to continue its mission to provide housing for those in need. Since December 2008, the nativities exhibit has been a prayerful celebration of the true meaning of Christmas and a successful fund raiser. “We are pleased to be back in person this year for this wonderful way to start the Christmas season,” said Nancy Malone, one of the creators of the event. “In addition to viewing hundreds of nativities from around the world, you are helping both local and Haitian families who are facing a housing crisis, much like Mary and Joseph did when there was no room at the inn.” Although in person, the event is being modified to follow safety protocols and will not include a children’s room. Special craft bags will be available for families to take home and do an activity with their children. In addi-
tion, the online auction, which premiered in 2020, will be back in 2021. “The online auction is a great way for folks to participate remotely,” said Dot Grasberger who heads up the auction committee. The online auction goes live on “Black Friday,” Nov. 26. The No Room weekend starts with a Gala Preview on Friday, Dec. 3 from 7 to 10 p.m. Adults are invited to an evening of food, beverages, live and silent auctions, and music. Tickets are $25 in advance, $30 at the door. All ages are invited on Saturday, Dec. 4 from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday, Dec. 5 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tickets for Saturday and Sunday are $5 for adults and $1 for 18 and younger. The $290,000 raised in the past 13 years has gone to provide modest homes in Haiti and support the local work of Ashland Supportive Housing, Hanover Safe Place, Safe Harbor, MCEF, CARITAS, and My Path Forward. Proceeds from this year’s No Room at the Inn will build two houses in Haiti and support Mechanicsville Churches Emergency Functions (MCEF) which provides emergency rent to prevent eviction in Hanover and My Path Forward which provides young people aging out of Virginia’s foster care system with a powerful combination of housing and crucial support services.

The driver and sole occupant of the 2011 Hyundai was transported to a local hospital with serious but non-life threat-
ening injuries. Investigators are still collecting information at this time. The Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office extended its condolences to the family of Lewis D. Pfuhl II and the injured driver during this difficult time. Information submitted by Lt. James R. Cooper, Hanover County Sheriff’s Office public information officer.

Contributed Report news@mechocal.com The residents at Cool Well Community in Mechanicsville have been busy preparing for an Operation Christmas Child Packing Party that was held in October at a resident’s home. Sixteen volunteers packed and many more donated to this special event. Operation Christmas Child is a unique project organized by Samaritan’s Purse that delivers gift-filled shoeboxes to needy children around the world, sharing God’s love in a tangible way. Before receiving their shoeboxes, the gospel message is shared with them and many take this message home to their family and friends. Last year, over 9.1 million shoeboxes were collected worldwide. Since 1993, over 188 million children have received a shoebox in over 170 countries. For many of the children, the shoeboxes filled with school supplies, hygiene items and toys is the first gift they have ever received. Locally, there are over 100 churches and organizations in our extended community that participate

Fall leaves present ongoing challenge
By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

portable is an adaptive sports club in Central Virginia that provides an opportunity for athletes with disabilities to participate and compete in a variety of sports for both youths and adults. They fill a void that many are unaware even exists, but to a dedicated community of enthusiasts, they provide an opportunity to excel and pursue goals once thought unachievable. Even more than that, it gives handicapped athletes the chance to feel just like the rest of us and enter a world where no one stares and even fewer take notice of physical disabilities. Sportable creates this special place through a dedicated staff, committed volunteers and compassionate coaches who administer programs in a variety of adaptive sports. Founded in 2005, the club has served hundreds of adults and children with physical disabilities and provided them with a renewed sense of confidence and a willingness to look far past what they can’t do, and concentrate on what they can. The athletes who compete form valuable relationships and serves as a learning tool for the general public by exposing their talents. It all adds up to what those who are acquainted with the club know as the Sportable Way, a special approach that embodies team spirit, integrity, passion and ingenuity. And those lucky enough to attend these events always leave with a new understanding of people with physical limitations. They somehow gain strength and understanding by watching the enormous efforts displayed by these athletes. They marvel at the obstacles they must overcome to score a goal or sink a bucket. More importantly, they realize that people with disabilities are no different than those without, which fosters a more inclusive attitude. My son Jack has participated in power soccer for several years. Thanks to the kindness of many friends, he has a special chair designed just for soccer. It’s his first season with the new chair and he’s made good use of it. Last weekend was my first opportunity to attend an event this season and get to see firsthand Jack and his new chair on the pitch. His team, The Hive, were taking on the perennial champs from the Tidewater area. The game was exciting, but Tidewater’s experience proved too much for the Editorial & Business Office and Mailing Address: 8460 Times-Dispatch Blvd. Mechanicsville, VA 23116 Phone – (804) 746-1235 Toll free – (877) 888-0449 Fax – (804) 344-8746 Online: www.mechlocal.com

younger players from Richmond. But, in all honesty, there were no losers last Saturday. The real victory was achieved when the determination and courage displayed by these special athletes touched everyone in the gym. Their enthusiasm was contagious, and it didn’t take long to get the crowd involved as they applauded each fancy move, or perfect cross and exploded with each goal. It was a different type of elation as the audience noticed each action and acknowledged each one appropriately. The excitement of the action was wonderful, but I couldn’t help but notice the smiles on the faces of the players and the interaction among the participants. They routinely high fived or slapped each other’s chair to congratulate their opponent on a nice shot or move. It’s a brotherhood and sisterhood of determination, and they don’t waste any opportunity to show the rest of the world that they too can enjoy and prosper in competitive sports; and any other goal they choose to pursue. It’s a determination with purpose, or as Sportable likes to say, enthusiasm with intention.

Dear Editor, Ever since I had moved to Mechanicsville in 2000, I have participated in the battle with my leaves. I live in a wooded lot, and in early fall, the score is leaves 7 and Ken 1. I have strategized the game plan to compete with nature’s seasonal onslaught. I have used raking, blowing, mowing and vacuuming, but none ended up being enjoyable. After a few years, I concluded that maybe this is not supposed to be enjoyable. By mid-October, the score is 9-5 in favor of the leaves. I am tempted to think that I will ignore them and maybe the wind will blow them away. Then I realized they would blow on my neighbor’s lot and his back on mine, not a real solution. By early December, the score has tightened—leaves 10 and Ken 9. The possibility of me winning the battle seems more plausible. I clean up the last leaf between Christmas and the new year, and I win 11-10. I take a sigh of relief, but then I realize something. The fall leaves never take a sabbatical, whereas I, a Septuagenarian, will be like an aging athlete that is gradually losing his legs. I should start to hire this job done, but being so thrifty, others call it cheap, and a little stubborn, I probably won’t. So, next year the leaves, and I will engage again, that battle I may win, but eventually, I will lose the war.

The number of residents in each magisterial district can vary by 5% in the number of total voters. “There is a recognition that we are not an evenly spread out population so mathematical exactness and equity isn’t always achievable, so there are some deviations that are permitted,” Walter said. Courts have deemed that variations of more than 5% are not acceptable, and districts must adhere to requirements that they remain contiguous and compact. Courts have also rejected redistricting based on race or any other consideration that may be considered discriminatory. “Courts are normally involved only if there are challenges,” Walter said. The Code of Virginia provides a guideline for localities to navigate the redistricting process, including requirements that the U.S. Census be used for redistricting purposes and most recent results must be utilized. Localities can only redistrict as required, readjustments cannot be instituted preceding 60 days of an election, and all redistricting must be done in years ending in “1”. “The combination of a few things have contributed to a time crunch this year because the census came out in August… and adjusted figures came out in September. That was during our blackout period so we could not move forward and do anything, but we have to adopt something by the end of the year,” Walter said. “We’re in this window where we have the information but we have to act pretty quickly.” The state also requires that districts must include clearly observable boundaries defined as a named road or street, primary and secondary roads, rivers or streams or other natural or constructed barriers. Property lines or subdivision boundaries cannot be used to designate district lines. “That often becomes a challenge, especially when we have some of our more densely populated areas where we try to keep communities together. But the communities are based upon recorded subdivisions, not based upon natural features that existed prior to those communities going in to effect,” Walter said. State Code also governs the size of electoral precincts to between 100 and 5,000 registered voters. Walter said that rule is designed to avoid long wait lines at polling places and make elections manageable. “We try to avoid long lines and overworked election officials,” Walter said. “That number is something we need to keep in mind as we plan for precincts and polling places.” There are other requirements including that action taken regarding redistricting be done by
ordinance. “There needs to be public notice. There needs to be a public hearing so individuals have to have an opportunity to be heard,” Walter said. The Virginia Rights of Voters Act provides two options for localities to conduct the redistricting process that includes the traditional method of notice and public comment and an option that allows a locality to adopt a redistricting plan and submit it to the attorney general for review. Walter said the county is on a tight timetable that excludes the first option. “The second one is the only option feasible to us right now,” Walter said. The attorney’s general’s review confirms that procedural guidelines have been followed and all regulations regarding redistricting have been followed. Once the review is complete and the plan approved, the redistricting takes effect. According to recently released U.S. Census figures, the county’ population increased from just under 100,000 in 2010 to 109,991 in 2020. The county must redistrict to ensure each electoral district contains an equal amount of population. The base number for each district utilizing latest Census figures is 15,713 residents per district. Walter said the target numbers for each district fall within 2.5% of that base. Five of the seven districts do not fall within that range and will require adjustments. Beaverdam and Mechanicsville districts are not affected. Chickahominy District will require the largest adjustment resulting in the loss of about 2,500 people. In formulating the plan, Walter said the goal has been to maintain election districts, polling places and precincts. He also said changed boundaries should not affect the ability of communities of interest from expressing their concerns at the poll. “We are trying to reduce the impact across the board,” he said. The public engagement plan included four listening sessions at county high schools that concluded earlier this month, and notices were sent to 75 community organizations and minority contacts. Walter said all redistricting information is available on the county’s website. “There have been opportunities for members of the public to be involved in the process,” Walter said. Among other proposed changes, an area currently in the Chickahominy District that includes the Atlee High School area will be moved to the Ashland magisterial District.

Citizen engagement integral to comprehensive plan update By Jim Ridolphi For The Mechanicsville Local Planning Director David Maloney outlined a comprehensive approach regarding the 2023 Comprehensive Plan update and explained how county officials will gather a variety of opinions and suggestions surrounding important issues that will be addressed in the revisions at a board of supervisors meeting earlier this month. Updating and revising the plan involves a long process that began last month and will continue until an updated version is approved in the summer of 2023. Like all localities in the Commonwealth, Hanover is required to update the plan every five years. The county’s last update of what is considered a blueprint for growth and development was completed in 2017. “We believe we have developed a very comprehensive schedule as well as process for reviewing and updating this plan,” Maloney said. Maloney introduced consultant Will Cockrell, who will head the project. Cockrell is currently assisting with comp plan updates in Henrico County and Ashland and has a local connection to the project; he graduated from Patrick Henry High School. “It’s a pleasure to be back home,” Cockrell said. “It’s nice to come back home and have this opportunity.” He said naming project leaders and presenting a proposed timeline for community engagement and review are the first steps in the process. Envision Hanover is the title of the review project selected by the community development committee and seconded by the board.

Will Cockrell is an outside consultant who will head the comprehensive plan update. Cockrell is a Hanover native who graduated from Patrick Henry High School, so he has a familiarity with the county that should be beneficial to the process.
Maloney said that name will be used for branding the project complete with logos and marketing images. “We felt like it was comprehensive and conclusive,” board chair and chairman of the CDC Sean Davis said regarding the committee’s selection of the name. The planning director outlined a plan that seeks to offer citizens numerous opportunities to have a voice in what the 2023 plan will include or revise. “There are going to be four phases as proposed for this citizen engagement plan,” he said. The first phase will focus on identifying needs by holding four open houses across the county and provide citizens with surveys to gather input. “We are also going to be participating in what we refer to as drop-in events,” Maloney
said. “Those could be anything from very informal encounters such as setting up a table with some information in a public location such as the library, to actually various community events where we will interact with residents.” Maloney said the goal is simple. “During that first phase we want to have as much citizen input as possible. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that as part of this effort we will be utilizing social media as well as developing a dedicated webpage for the project.” The second part of the plan involves establishing a community participation team (CPT). “In researching recent comp plan updates in from other peer localities within the state, we found that they have chosen to engage their citizens in a somewhat more formal manner,” Maloney said. The CPT would include each member of the planning commission and one atlarge representative from each district. “Each of those citizen appointees would ideally would present a perspective for one of the focus areas, whether it be land use, rural strategies, transportation or economic development,” Maloney said. “You’ll see that we have inserted the CPT in every one of these topic areas — land use and so forth.” He suggested two exceptions to that general policy, opting to use existing committees for transpiration and economic development. “For all other aspects of the plan, sort of the initial vetting of the policy alternatives or recommendations after we have received citizen feedback at our community meetings, would be formulated by the CPT and brought back to the planning commission and, ultimately, the board.” Phase III of the project will
governing bodies and advisory bodies. He also provided a general outline of the proposed timeline for the project. With an approved public engagement plan in place, meetings will be scheduled with individual board and planning commission members this winter to identify specific needs in each district. Maloney outlined a schedule that provides opportunities for community engagement
Planning director David Maloney presented an engagement plan that will allow county officials to gather input from all segments of the community during the more the multi-year effort to revise and update the current comprehensive plan. The project to update will be called Envision Hanover.
include a study of topical and focus areas to address all areas of the comprehensive plan from land use and economic development to housing and the environment. “We are going to do deep dives… to focus on those areas,” Maloney said. The final phase of the proposed timeline again involved community feedback on the proposed plan. “Once we have a draft plan or outline of a draft plan, we go back out to the community with a series of open houses, surveys…. before we bring it to the planning commission or the board of supervisors for formal adoption,” Maloney said. “Throughout every one of these phases of community engagement, both the community participation team, the planning commission and the board will be involved.” Maloney said the process will involve the entire community including citizens,
and specific periods of focus for issues that include land use, economic development, transportation and the environment. A draft plan should be available by January 2023 for review and adoption of the new plan is envisioned by August 2023. Topics for consideration under the new plan include land use, economic development, transportation/active see PLAN, pg. 14

District will be added. The Henry District will gain population from the addition of an area currently in the Chickahominy District near Verdi Lane. The proposed plan leaves all the magisterial districts within the 2.5% goal for equalization. After adjustments are made in response to board member concerns regarding the specifics of the proposal, Walter said the draft will be finalized and the ordinance advertised for public hearing at the Dec. 8 board meeting. The plan must be submitted to the attorney general’s office no later than Dec. 31. “We have tried to make it readable and understandable for the public, so they will know what is being changed, both in terms of district boundaries as well as precincts,” Walter said
regarding the draft document available on the county website. Walter cautioned that a finalized redistricting plan could be affected by how the state conducts its redistricting plan. “We can’t wait for them to act, though,” Walter said. “Fingers crossed, we won’t have to adjust anything but it’s possible we may have to adjust a precinct boundary if the state does something that is a different approach from what we have taken.” Chickahominy District supervisor Angela Kelly-Wiecek questioned the wisdom of the proposed Rutland precinct. She noted the precinct is divided by Route 301 and the proposed precinct would be split among two state magisterial districts, the 55th and the 97th. Walter said he would research that issue and provide options. “I understand those concerns,” he said.

As the holidays approach and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns about a potential spike in flu cases this year, it’s important that those who are eligible, healthy and feeling well make an appointment to donate blood or platelets. The American Red Cross continues to address an ongoing emergency blood shortage, and donors are urged to give now to combat the lowest blood supply levels at this time of year in more than a decade. According to the CDC, flu cases reached an all-time low last year due to masking, physical distancing and shutdowns across the country, and many Americans may have reduced immunity this year. When seasonal illness increases, the number of healthy blood donors tends to decrease. Paired with winter weather, busy holiday schedules and ongoing COVID-19 concerns, the alreadystruggling blood supply could be further impacted throughout winter. Upcoming blood donation opportunities in Hanover County: Nov. 24, 8:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m., Fairmount Christian Church, 6502 Creighton Road; Nov. 30, 10 a.m. - 3 p.m., Veterans of Foreign Wars, 7168 Flag Lane; Dec. 7, 1 - 6 p.m., Fairfield Presbyterian Church, 6930 Cold Harbor Road; Dec. 13, 11 a.m. - 4 p.m., New Song United Methodist Church, 7450 Colts Neck Road; Dec. 14, 2 - 6 p.m., Gethsemane Church of Christ, 5146 Mechanicsville Turnpike; Dec. 16, 11 a.m. - 5 p.m., Bon Secours Memorial Regional Medical Center, 8220 Meadowbridge Road, MOB I.

HERITAGE Continued from pg. 1
The property is owned by Hanover Habitat. “Unfortunately the way that development has occurred in this area, it’s largely un-developable from a residential home perspective,” Farrar said. Habitat initiated discussions with the town to query them on possible uses for the property and gauge their interest in obtaining the property, assessed by the county at
$43,000. “They talked to us about the possibility of creating a park,” Farrar said. Carolyn Hemphill of the Hanover Black Heritage Society also was contacted by Robinson and got involved in the discussions, noting the property was located in Berkleytown, a historically African American portion of the town with a rich history. “We saw the start of an opportunity to do something really cool with a piece of

property that probably otherwise wouldn’t be developed or put to great use,” Farrar said. The possibility of creating a passive park in the area intrigued town officials. “We wanted something that would celebrate the history of Berkleytown and as we talked…. that was the idea that came forward,” Farrar said last week. “This parcel is being given to the town out of the generosity of Hanover-King William Habitat for Humanity and Ms. Hemphill has been a wonderful partner helping us make sure the resolution and the future park really represents the neighborhood and celebrates its history,” Farrar said. The only action required of Council at last week’s meeting was to accept the donated property, but Farrar said step two will follow with plans for the passive park. Farrar explained that the Ashland already owns right of way to the west of the site along the CSX tracks. “We also fortunately own parcels to the north and south almost forming a path along the railway,” Farrar said. “As part of the plan we would have access to those paths to the park, and from there, we’ll jump in to the planning process,” he added. “The main thing I want to do is thank you for moving forward with this project,” Hemphill told council members.

Hemphill said the reaction of the Berkleytown community has been positive and supportive. “I’ve spoken to them and they are excited to make this a reality,” she said. “We are on our way.” “The whole thing began with that article, and the article began with the Department of Historical Resources; and the whole study was to look at the value of history in Berkleytown,” Trivett said. “What came out of it is something that will commemorate it. It’s up to the community as to what will go there but it’s nice when things come together,” he concluded. As last week’s meeting concluded, several council members commented on the success of the town’s tree lighting ceremony earlier this month and the massive turnout of people who enjoyed an early start to the holiday season. “I was a volunteer for Light Up the Tracks and had a chance to talk to a lot of people from as far away as Northern Virginia that came to celebrate with us,” Council Member Anita Barnhart said. “It was a nice way to kick off the holiday. Some council members said comments from the community reflected a feeling that that “I did hear comments from people saying it was really early to be doing that, but it looked like to me that 500 to 1,000 people felt like it was worthwhile to come. It was a great time,” Trivett said.
property that seemed unsuitable is finding a new and important role. “We’re just happy that this piece of land is going to be able to be put to good use for the community and we appreciate the opportunity to partner with Ms. Hemphill and the town,” Robinson said as she briefly addressed Council before last week’s vote. She explained how her organization got involved with the project and how it evolved. “Somebody on the Habitat staff read the article that came out about the history of Berkleytown… in RTD’s Discover Richmond,” she said. Robinson was considering options when properties in their inventory were not suitable to build residential homes and contacted Ashland officials. “When she spoke to me and asked me if we could find something to do with the property, I immediately thought of our forefathers, the people who were the fabric of Berkleytown,” Hemphill said. “I thought this would be an opportunity to acknowledge what they’ve done in the past.” Robinson said the project could not have progressed without the assistance of Trivett, Farrar and Amos, who took the lead for the town. “I think it was a great partnership of collective minds coming together and coming up with something that could be used without road frontage, a great use for that property,” Robinson said.
once efforts to sell the .75-acre site north of Berkley Street and south of Archie Cannon Drive were unsuccessful and the property was deemed unsuitable for the Habitat’s mission of building homes for the underprivileged in the area. The property was located just off Henry Street in the heart of Berkleytown and seemed like the perfect location for a cultural park that would document the history of the traditionally African American neighborhood. An article in the Richmond Discover in February 2021 prompted Robinson to contact Hemphill regarding the possibility of a park on the site. Hemphill suggested a Berkleytown Heritage Park to honor the African American historical figures who were contributors to education, business, government and the Ashland community as a whole, and discussions began with town officials to make the idea a reality. “Mayor (Steve) Trivett, Town Manager Farrar and Director of Planning Nora Amos helped take this from an idea into something with a real path forward for the Town,” Hemphill said in a press release issued late last week. “I’m looking forward to getting together and making Berkleytown proud. Thank you a million,” Hemphill told council members at last week’s meeting. Robinson said Habitat is pleased to be part of the plan and happy that the piece of

The annual report was audited by Rob Churchman of Cherry Bekaert LLP who commented at the end of Null’s presentation. “I met with the finance committee last week to go over these results and what you want to hear from your auditor is this. We rendered a clean opinion… and the statements are fair as presented in all material respects and in accordance with county principles,” Churchman said. Last month’s meeting was Finance Director’s Jacob Sumner’s last with Hanover County as he leaves to accept another opportunity. Board chair Sean Davis and Null noted Sumner’s departure and thanked him for his service. “Jacob, we appreciate your leadership in that department,” Davis said. Mechanicsville supervisor Canova Peterson attended the meeting remotely due to COVID-19 quarantine but also lauded Sumner’s dedication and commitment to the county. “For a number of years, Mr. Sumner has given us extremely good service here for the county,” Peterson said. “I would like to recognize what he’s done. I don’t know that a lot of you realize that he has been commuting from the foot of Afton Mountain to Hanover County every day during his tenure with us to help and work to make Hanover a better place,” Peterson concluded.

Local Rotary teams with Salvation Army for Red Kettle Campaign Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com
H
anover County Rotary Club recently welcomed Capt. Jason Burns from the Salvation Army in Richmond. In his position as area commander, Capt. Burns works in the Army’s Central Virginia Area Command. The Salvation Army serves to raise funds in the Richmond region each year to provide holiday assistance for the region’s residents. The Salvation Army works in local communities and internationally, as does Rotary. The annual Red Kettle Campaign is an example of local service organizations working together to provide funding for various Christmas charitable projects. Hanover Rotary has been ringing the bell for the Red Kettle Campaign for over 35 years, netting approximately $23,000 and having fun making a difference. Thanks to the efforts of Capt. Burns and Hanover Rotary Club member Janice Henicheck this year, Rotary District 7600, which covers Central and Southeastern Virginia, will partner with the Salvation Army to add more Rotary Club volunteers to the Red Kettle Campaign. “I am such a supporter of all the programs that Salvation Army does in the community but mostly in times of disaster as my family in

said Henicheck. According to Henicheck, “It made sense that we could increase impact during the Red Kettle Campaign with additional District 7600 clubs
joining together. It also gives Rotarians another chance to serve the community.” The Salvation Army works in local communities and internationally as does Rotary. “We hope to take this internationally one day positively impacting the needy and disaster victims worldwide. Truly a service above self project.” The Salvation Army will be working with local Rotary clubs to ring the bell for their annual Christmas Kettle fund drive in multiple area locations on Dec 2, 3 and 4 this year. Every club has been challenged to ring the bell and raise a total of $50,000, which translates to approximately $800 per club. When Rotarians volunteer, they don’t have hire people, so it doubles the contribution. Burns also gave the Hanover Club some history. “In the 1860s, the Salvation Army was struggling in San Francisco with the population explosion and trying to help people. They started soup kitchens but were struggling to fund them. They set up a pot to try and collect money, but it was loud on the streets with the docks and all the noise, so to draw attention to the kettle, they would stand in the street and ring a bell. They came to Richmond in 1885.” The Hanover County Rotary Club meets each Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. at the Roma Italian Restaurant at 7240 Bell Creek Road in Mechanicsville.

Six straight at states! PH boys volleyball team sets new VHSL consecutive title record By Rob Witham for Ashland-Hanover Local RICHMOND — In a match that began at 6 p.m., it took exactly 66 minutes for Patrick Henry boys volleyball team to extend its historic reign as kings of the court. When a Maggie Walker player mistimed his jump on a kill attempt and the ball harmlessly fell to the floor, the tradition of the Michael Townsend slide returned to the Siegel Center as the Patriots celebrated a 25-10, 25-17, 25-18 victory to repeat as Virginia High School League Class 4 state champions. It is the sixth consecutive state title for Patrick Henry, a VHSL record for boys volleyball in any classification, and fifth straight in Class 4. For the third consecutive year, Maggie Walker attempted to knock Patrick Henry off the pedestal. But this year, the Patriots dominated from start to finish. They were led by Davis Luck, who had 13 kills, an ace, and shared a pair of blocks with Larson Flanagan, while Carson Cheeley added nine kills and two aces. “I’m just super impressed with how these boys improved over the past two months,” Townsend, Patrick Henry’s coach since late September, said after the win. “We came into a

The Virginia Passenger Rail Authority (VPRA) recently notified the Town of Ashland that staff members will begin surveying select town-owned properties, businesses and private residences to delineate boundaries between CSX Transportation right-of-way and rightof-way recently purchased by VPRA. The Commonwealth of Virginia and CSX Transportation signed a deal in March to transfer 223 miles of track and 386 miles of right-of-way to the Commonwealth to improve and expand passenger rail service in Virginia. The surveys will aid in the development of a plan to study Virginia’s 179 miles of Interstate 95 corridor between the Woodrow Wilson Bridge in Alexandria, Virginia and the North Carolina border.
In a presentation to Ashland’s Town Council in June about the acquisition, Clark Mercer, Governor Ralph Northam’s chief of staff, noted that the deal includes an agreement from all parties to maintain the existing two-track rail system within the Town of Ashland. Any expansions to a three-track system would occur outside of Ashland’s residential and downtown areas to the north and south of town. “This deal will expand and improve passenger rail service in Virginia while also protecting and preserving the Town of Ashland,” Mercer said. “The agreement between CSX and the state recognizes that a 3-2-3 track system is what is appropriate and will enable us to adequately move passenger and freight up and down the corridor while also protecting this community.” see SURVEYING pg. 18

Patrick Henry upsets top-ranked Generals By Zach Joachim Richmond Times-Dispatch
Dave Lawrence/The Local
DINWIDDIE — “PH is a problem.” That’s what Patrick Henry football coach Ken Wakefield told the victorious Patriots huddled around him Friday night under playoff lights at Dinwiddie, where his team commanded the Generals in a 35-20 win to advance to their second Region 4B championship in three seasons. In particular, the problems for previously unbeaten and top-seeded Dinwiddie were Patrick Henry quarterback Jordan Allen, his offensive line and the Patriots’ hard-hitting defense. Allen carried 31 times for 219 yards and four touchdowns, repeatedly maneuvering his way through a sea of blockers for chunk yardage. “They were fantastic, you couldn’t ask for more,” Allen said of his O-line, led by senior Jordan Watson and junior Maddox Radcliffe. “They dominated a team everybody thought we weren’t going to dominate. I’m proud of them,” he said. Allen took a few hard hits but popped right back up every time, motioning for first downs and patting his blockers on their backs. “He’s so tough,” Wakefield said of his do-it-all signal caller. “We ask him to do anything, and he just responds. It’s ‘Yes sir,’ and he just gets it done. What a performance. And what about those guys up front? They’ve done a great job of opening up holes for him all year. What a great team win.” Allen completed 4 of 9 passing attempts for 31 yards and even played the role of enforcer typically potent attack to 200 as clouds of breath mingled night at Dinwiddie that felt on the other side of the ball as a yards and eight first downs. with lingering smoke from the appropriate for playoff football. safety, helping hold Dinwiddie’s Frost covered medical tables Generals’ cannon on a chilly A few thousand members

of Dinwiddie’s Navy Nation packed the stands and rang cowbells throughout the night. But the navy blue-clad supporters slowly gave way to their whiteand-red-clad counterparts on the far sideline, as Patrick Henry’s fans, students and band gained volume throughout the night as Allen and Co. made the long trip from Ashland well worth it.
The game’s first key play came with a little under 5 minutes to go in the first quarter. Dinwiddie attempted a fake punt in its territory, but PH snuffed it out, setting the Patriots up with prime field position. A pass interference call got them to the goal line, and Allen plunged in from 2 yards for the game’s first touchdown. A Generals turnover on downs later, Allen put PH firmly in the driver’s seat — he eluded a scrum at midfield, bounced outside to the right sideline and scampered 56 yards untouched to the house to make it 14-0 with 20 seconds still to play in the first. But Dinwiddie looked as if it would make a game of it for a moment. A huge return set up the Generals at the PH 8, and freshman Harry Dalton carried the ball into the end zone to make it 14-7 as the first period came to a close. Dinwiddie’s celebratory cannon let off a blast, and a horseman rode the length of the sideline, waving a Generals flag amid a cacophony of cowbells. A 26-yard Richard Crabbe field goal for PH were the only points in the second period, and PH took a 17-7 lead into the half. Coming out of the break, see UPSETS, pg. 24
Cavaliers start slow, finish fast in region semi By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor King William’s football team got off to a slow start in its Region 2A semifinal against visiting Poquoson Friday night in Central Garage. But the second-seeded Cavaliers did not take long to get in gear. With the help of key special teams play — including Kavontay Hayes’ 93-yard kickoff return for a touchdown that put King William ahead for good — opportunistic defense and standout offensive performances by running back Demond Claiborne and quarterback Jayveon Robinson, the Cavaliers ended up thrashing the sixth-seeded Islanders 64-30. King William next travels to top-seeded Nottoway for the regional championship this Friday at 7 p.m. Cavalier head coach Scott Moore praised the all-encompassing team (and, at times, family) effort. “Special teams and defense put some points up for us Friday night,” Moore said. “But Demond Claiborne did have 295 yards rushing and Jayveon Robinson . . . he was 7-of-13 passing for 187 yards and a touchdown — and he threw that one to his brother, Trey.” The defense’s touchdown came in a 26-point King William second quarter on a fumble recovery by Chase Rosso. Claiborne, a Wake Forest commit, had three huge touchdown runs: the first for 65 yards in the first quarter, the second for 47 yards in the third quarter, and the last for 49 yards for the last score of the game in the fourth quarter. His other two scores were of 4 yards (in the third quarter) and 9 yards (in toss to his brother Trey was touchdown run. Nottoway. the fourth). another big play: 65 yards. The The Cavaliers (10-1) have “They’ve got good size Jayveon Robinson’s scoring quarterback also had a 2-yard a tough job ahead of them in and they’re physical. I’m really
the ball and they’re going to run at you. “And they have Tyler Banks who is a great athlete and he has — I was looking at the scholarship offers that he has — he has a list that rivals Demond’s list of scholarship offers. So they’ve got some talent, too.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com. Joel Klein for The Local

Generals star quarterback Brenton Hilton paced his sideline with purpose, jumping up and down, eager to make up the deficit with an offense accustomed to scoring points in bunches. But PH began the second half with a hammer blow. On the first play from scrimmage, Allen faked to slotback Jayden Mines as he motioned across the formation. That action pulled a couple would-be tacklers to the outside just enough, so Allen kept and slipped right up the gut, seemingly shot out of PH’s own cannon for a 61-yard sprint to the end zone. That score took the air out
of the stadium, and PH controlled the game in methodical fashion the rest of the way. Dinwiddie, the region’s top seed, finishes 9-1, and had won every game by at least two scores before Friday’s loss. “I’m very proud of them. We had an incredible year, did some great stuff. Fought through a lot of adversity to get to this point,” said Generals coach Billy Mills. No. 3 Varina beat No. 2 King George 28-10 on the other side of the bracket, setting up a rematch for the Region 4B title of an Oct. 29 meeting between the Blue Devils and Patriots that PH won 22-21. That game will be played Saturday at 1 p.m. at Varina. Zach Joachim can be reached at zjoachim@timesdispatch.com.
onto the court, to be surrounded by his players. Last spring, when he wasn’t coaching, the Patriots mobbed each other on their home floor when the 2020 title match was held in Ashland last April as the season was truncated because of the coronavirus pandemic. It’s one flashy part of the traditions of Patrick Henry volleyball, but it was the others that allowed the Patriots to give such a command performance on Thursday. Sophomore Jason Matthews, who dished out 30 assists, gave his perspective on how one fits into the Patriot
machine. “I was there in seventh grade, practicing with the team. I looked up to the setters above me,” Matthews said. “Hill Sewell, watching him all (last) season, the years before watching him play, it’s not just a team, it’s a full program. I get to watch those before me win, and it’s the thing we have to do now. It’s our job.” And the reason behind the explosive postseason play? Matthews was quick to answer. “It’s confidence. I think it comes from coaching,” Matthews said. “Everything just
got better, whether it was reps in practice, our mentality in practice. Passes got better, hits got better, sets got better, and that’s just something I’ve never felt before.” Patrick Henry is now one title behind James River, who has seven VHSL boys volleyball state championships total. Will Townsend, now the father of two young children, commit to returning come August for another shot at the summit? “No comment,” he answered, with a smile.

were falling in the right place.” Patrick Henry clicked from the opening serve Thursday, as Luck registered back-to-back kills, followed by a power move from Flanagan for an early 5-1 Set 1 advantage. By the time Luck threw down his fourth kill of the set, it was 19-5. Afterwards, Luck looked back on the first practice with Townsend back at the helm, much more thankful for it now than he was then.

“We didn’t give a lot of effort (in practice), but when Coach Townsend entered the building, it changed, from zero to 100,” Luck recalled. “I was gassed after that first practice. He had us running, and I wasn’t expecting that, but clearly it helped.” There was no sign of exhaustion on the court at Siegel, as Patrick Henry (22-3), after a closer beginning to the second set, went on a 6-1 run to turn a 10-8 lead into a 16-9 lead before finishing with the eight-point victory.

third and final set, the Dragons began to wilt under pressure. Three errors in a four-point stretch allowed the Patriots to assume a 14-10 lead, and they never relinquished the lead. Two combination blocks by the Patrick Henry defense put the advantage at 18-11 and, from there, it was a countdown to a championship tradition which began on the Siegel Center floor in 2016. Townsend, at that time, wasn’t sure how to react had Patrick Henry reached, and won, championship point. His decision? To dive head-first

Take precautions to reduce forest fires and protect wildlife “The local volunteer and paid fire departments all across Virginia are critical in our success,” said John Miller, director of Fire and Emergency Response for VDOF. “They are essential to our ability to respond swiftly to all wildfires and suppress them early on.” Miller says, “If a wildfire never starts, firefighters lives, the lives of Virginians, personal property and valuable habitat remain safe.” Preventing wildfires from starting in the first place is of upmost importance. In Virginia, nearly 95% of all wildfires are human-caused and therefore can be prevented. Extra precautions are needed when burning in the fall due to the abun-
Contributed Report news@mechocal.com The 2021 Fire Season is upon us, and the Virginia Department of Forestry (VDOF) is urging Virginians to learn about Wildfire Prevention and to take precautions if they are planning to burn debris this fall. The top priority in the VDOF Strategic Plan is to protect the forest resources and the citizens of the Commonwealth from wildfire and reduce impacts to the forest from other threats. In order to do this, VDOF relies on collaboration of all fire departments, other land management agencies and the cooperation of all Virginians and visitors to the Commonwealth.
dance of dry grass and leaves on the ground. Gusty winds and low humidity can make a seemingly safe fire burn more intensely and escape control. “People need to be cautious when performing any outdoor burns this time of year, because weather conditions and drying fuels, such as grasses and leaves, increase the potential for wildfires.” If a fire does escape control, contact the local fire department immediately. An escaped wildfire, even one burning in grass or weeds, is dangerous.
The VDOF offers these safety tips for burning debris outdoors: Know current and future weather conditions.
Do not burn on dry, warm, and windy days. Be informed about state and local burning regulations. Consult your local fire department for additional information and safety considerations. Remember what Smokey Bear has always said: “Only You Can Prevent Wildfires!”
If you choose to burn: Keep your piles small, if possible, use a 55-gallon drum with a weighted screen lid to provide an enclosed incinerator. Have water and tools like a shovel and rake nearby. Never leave your fire unattend-
ed. If your fire escapes your control, call 911 immediately. Visit our website for more information and tips on protecting your home and community: https://dof.virginia.gov/wildlandprescribed-fire/wildfire-prevention/ Residents should also check the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality’s open burn regulations prior to any outdoor fire and consult with local fire officials about burning conditions in the area. “We all have a responsibility to do our part to prevent wildfires, and now is the time for all Virginians to learn about how they can reduce wildfire risks and ensure the safety of their homes, families, and communities,” says Miller.
