Racially-charged incident prompts public concerns By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

Hanover County’s tradition of honoring veterans on Nov. 11 continued Sunday at Hanover Wayside Park. A sunny day drew a good crowd to the ceremony.

Compassion and dedication honored on Veterans Day By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

Dr. Steve Starzer was the keynote speaker.

HANOVER — Since 2007, it’s become a Hanover tradition for citizens to gather at the Hanover Veterans Memorial for a memorial ceremony to honor those who served our country. Clear, crisp skies greeted that crowd Sunday as the tradition continued, and Hanoverians again displayed their respect and resolve for

the numerous attendees who are proud to call themselves veterans. This year’s celebration coincided with the observance of the 100th anniversary of the World War I armistice. It also unfolded with the memory of Brad Clark, an Army veteran and Hanover County firefighter who recently lost his life while providing assistance to someone in need. see VETERANS, pg. 19

ASHLAND -- A recent racially-charged incident at Hanover High School prompted responses from several speakers during a public comment period at last week’s Hanover County School Board meeting. Last month, a 16-yearold junior at Lee-Davis High School was taking classes at Hanover High. When he left his desk and later returned, he noticed the “N” word had been carved in his desk. Hanover County Public Schools officials immediately issued a statement condemning the “thoughtless and ignorant” act, and vowed to discipline whoever was responsible. That statement, which described the incident as “isolated,” did not satisfy several speakers who addressed the issue at the Tuesday, Nov. 6, meeting. Dr. Matteo Pangallo, a Beaverdam resident, has a

Some interviews bring blessings with them By Melody Kinser Managing Editor ccasionally, writers encounter people in the interview process that make an impact on them. Such was the case on Oct. 31 when the Brooks brothers shared their stories of military service. For about an hour, each brother -- Frazier, Leon, Gerald, Gary and Avus -- took a turn at talking about his experience in the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force and Virginia National Guard. The youngest, Eric, who makes his home in Florida, was contacted by phone. One by one, they each recalled memorable events of their service. Without question, all of

them were proud to serve. Before they arrived in my office, I didn’t know the men were black. If you really know me or have read my position on skin color, you know that it isn’t -- and never has been -- an issue to me. I was shocked to learn there appears to be a misconception about blacks and military service. As I’ve said before, I was raised in a very diverse area because the coal mines attracted all races, religions, professions, etc. I had never heard that some people are of the opinion that blacks did not serve their country. Well, the Brooks brothers dispelled that piece of fiction. They served in wartime and peacetime and, due to the exceptional recruiting skills of the

eldest, Frazier, also gave back as members of the Army or Air National Guard. A chill ran up my spine when their family’s history in the Pine Hill area of Mechanicsville was discussed. Their ancestors were brought here as slaves. The family has been in Hanover County since 1796. Leon was confronted with racism, and the disgrace of his treatment still stirs within him. Their strength in the face of various obstacles is admirable. When they left, I felt the blessings of our time together. They perform gospel music as The Soul Seekers. I will certainly be in their audience soon. Yes, I’m a better person or having met them.

The soldier’s story is one that won’t be forgotten By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist Wisdom abounds around us if we only stop and take the time to listen and sometimes the simplest of stories offer the most important message. They’re known as America’s “Greatest Generation” and most of them are gone, and the few remaining have become silent reminders to a more noble and reliable past. Their stories are ever-inspiring, and recollections of a generation who fought

and won World War II provide a sense of pride and patriotism in all of us. After attending a couple of recent Veterans Day events, I was once again reassured that you learn much more from listening than speaking as I encountered one of those few remaining American heroes from the greatest generation. A man who asked that I not use his name for his column, now in his 90s, sat quietly as a crowd cleared around him as the ceremony ended.

“Can’t move too fast anymore,” he looked at me and smiled. “Me neither,” I quickly answered. I sat beside this neatly dressed gentleman and listened as he recalled his military service, and a life that began during the monumental struggle that was WWII. He joined the Army between his freshman and sophomore year in college, and attended Officers Candidate School at Fort Benning, Georgia. Commissioned as a second lieutenant, he was assigned to Camp

(now Fort) Lee, Virginia where he met and married his wife, a secretary in the motor pool office. He shipped out to the Philippines with the Quartermasters Corps. “We ran a bakery where we made bread for the troops and the starving people in the streets of Manila,” he said. “We spent every night baking bread.” I asked if he regularly attended these types of memorials, or parsee SOLDIER’S, pg. 8

The group said it advocates for the citizen voice in matters of protecting and preserving the land, history and environment of Hanover County.) The largest development ever proposed in the history of Hanover County will come before the Planning Commission Nov. 15 for a final vote. Though the case has been in a 60-day deferral to allow time for analysis, more questions than answers remain in this roiling process. This mammoth mixed use development, the Lake District at Glen Allen, would be located on U.S. 33 at the Henrico County line. Its scale is huge: 2,202 residential units and over 313,000 square feet of retail and office space. Its imposition will drive the need for some costly commensurate improvements to roads, schools, fire/ EMS, social services, public works and law enforcement, to mention a few. A snapshot of three estimates for increased capacity among these is revealing: Hanover Fire/EMS projects $10.2 million to provide personnel, apparatus and fire station. The Sheriff ’s Office forecasts the need for 16 new deputies at an initial outlay of $2,070,016. The county’s road model estimates adding two additional lanes to Route 33 will cost $17 million per see LETTERS, pg. 8

I told them I’d slept in enough tents to last a lifetime,” he laughed. The man went on to raise a large family now spread all across the nation, and achieved a successful business career. He outlived that partner he found at Fort Lee, and now lives with one of his daughters in the metro area. With more time on his hands these days, he said his thoughts wander back to those days in the Philippines and Camp Lee. He still marvels at the unified strength of a nation united for one common cause, and never questioned his willingness to delay his education to serve. “I didn’t have a choice, I was drafted,” he laughed. When the war was over, he said, most of the men were anxious to move on. They were enthusiastic about fighting the war, and equally as eager to get on with their lives. “I’m worried that our troops

mile. Where is the revenue to support these outlays? When TischlerBise, a third-party fiscal consultant, released its study on the economic impacts, there was a lot of red ink. Even based on a more conservative scenario of fewer dwellings and more commercial space, the net fiscal impact over a 15-year period was shown as a $61 million net loss. This burden will be shouldered by taxpayers either in higher taxes or a reduction in current services.

today are becoming war-tired,” he went on. “That’s why I’m here today. I’m worried that men on repeated deployments are becoming battle-weary.” It didn’t strike me as I sat with him, but his comments must have made an impression. As I reflected and studied my notes, it occurred to me that many of today’s soldiers also are ready to move on as they continue our struggles in Afghanistan. It’s also easy for a nation to lose its vigor for the struggle, and, often, we take for granted the role of the soldier in the field. Past conflicts have taught the valuable lesson that it’s sometimes easy for a nation to forget its fallen warriors. So, this was his soldier’s story, perhaps insignificant as it stands alone, but most important when considering a generation. I doubt that I’ll encounter this gentleman again in this lifetime, but I am undoubtedly the better man for the few minutes we spent together on Veterans Day. His single story and a million others remind us of the selfless sacrifice made by a group of Americans more than six decades ago and why we still refer to them as “the Greatest Generation.” Boyd Homes, the applicant, plans to sell the single family homes at $600,000 each and brownstone townhouses at $575,000 each. Rutland, a similar planned community, has single family homes ranging from $375,000 to $425,000— and on slightly larger parcels. The applicant paints a rosy picture. Will the market bear those prices? If not, county residents will suffer the consequences. More questions abound: What are the true figures for school capacity? A development of this scope with over 2,200 residential units will have an impact on the schools. see LETTERS, pg. 18

is meant to be done. She is survived by her children, Tracy Faires Loving (David), Jason Faires (Amy) and Andy Anderson (Elizabeth); her grandchildren, Lainey and Libbie Mountjoy, Caleb Loving, Nathan and Luke Faires, and Evelyn and Charlie Anderson, who will always be grateful for every memory made with such a special Grammie as she made every day like “sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows.” Barbara also is survived by her mother, Mary Inez Spencer Broome; sisters, Jean (Lou), Rita (Jimmy) and JoAnne; brothers, David and Mike (Donna), along with many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends, including her chosen sister, Darlene Coleman, who will greatly miss her generous, fun, and nurturing ways.

Nancy Goodwin Bazzrea, 76, of Mechanicsville, passed away on November 1, 2018. She was preceded in death by her parents, Richard and Louise Goodwin; and her husband, Eugene H. Bazzrea Jr. She is survived by her son, Kevin M. Bazzrea (Gwen) of Hanover; BAZZREA sister,

Alison Betz (Michael) of Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey; and granchildren, Daniel and Adam. Nancy worked as an Occupational Therapist and artist for many years. She attended the Medical College of Virginia, loved nature, painting, reading, and being a grandmother. She also enjoyed camping at Cross Rip campground. Nancy was happiest near the ocean, the bay and rivers. A gathering was held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, November 8, 2018, at Nelsen Funeral Home at 4650 South Laburnum Avenue in Richmond. 23231. Online condolences may be made at nelsenrichmond.com.

GEORGE TIMOTHY CATES George Timothy Cates, 65, of Mechanicsville. On November 1, 2018, Timmy Cates stood up from his wheelchair and ran (well, strolled) to the Pearly Gates. After a delightful, wideranging conversation with St. Peter about the state of today’s world below CATES and the merits of admitting a saintly sinner to the world above, Tim is now dancing in the streets of gold with his beloved first wife and mother of his children, Peggy Harty Cates, who preceded him in death in 1996. He also is joyfully reunited with his parents, Brawner and Helen Curley Cates; his brother, Tommy; and other family members

and friends who were called home before him. Left to cherish priceless memories of their Daddy are Tim’s two daughters, who were the light of his life, Megan Cates of Philadelphia, and her fiancé, Ben Rosenberg, and Mary Bowen Artus, and her husband Daniel, of Richmond. Mr. Tim also will be remembered with love, joy and laughter by his second wife, and “Partner for Part B,” Becky Clarke; by Becky’s four sons and their wives, Jay and Ginjer, Drew and Jessica, Josh and Brenda and Chris and Heather; and by five precious grandchildren, Dylan, Hannah, Sarah, Noah and Lydia, who will miss their sweet T-Paw. Tim will be sorely missed by his twin sister, Helen Sue Jones, and her husband, Bruce (his “brother from another mother”); his brothers, Johnny Cates and Brawner Cates III and his wife Judy, and their families, all of whom he loved beyond measure. Tim’s loss also is mourned by his mother-in-law, Mary Harty; and other members of the extended Harty and Clarke/Williams families. He will be remembered by his SHFS “family,” his Curley and Cates cousins, the Benedictine and Maggie Walker boys, his Lebanese “connection,” the Lonely Hearts Club, and a multitude of friends. Although Tim would tell you that he was “just a salesman,” he was a hard-working and well-respected businessman. He started his first job at the age of 10, delivering newspapers in the Museum District with his brother Johnny. He worked in the automobile industry, including a time as co-owner of the Auto Warehouse. Tim’s career culsee OBITUARIES, pg. 11

Continued from pg. 10

minated with the ownership of Southern Hardwood and Floor Supply LLC, which he founded in 2007 with his good friend Eddie Hobcroft. Tim had a gift for connecting with people on a personal level. He was the personification of “networking” long before the term was a part of our vernacular, and always “knew someone he could call” to help with any project. The key to Tim’s success, and, more importantly, his happy life, was that he treasured each of his friendships. Business deals were always secondary to relationships built on trust, kindness, honesty and mutual respect. A Celebration of Life service for Tim was held at 3 p.m. on Wednesday, November 7, 2018, at Bliley’s Funeral Home- Central at 3801 Augusta Avenue. The family would like to thank the staff and residents of Morningside in the West End for the loving care and welcoming community that they provided for Tim in the last months of his life. A special shout-out also was sent to Stephanie, Sabrina and Ambria. Memorial donations, if desired, may be made to Beyond Boundaries RVA, 2110 Barclay Rd., Richmond, VA 23228 (beyondboundariesrva.org), the McShin Foundation, 2300 Dumbarton Rd., Richmond, VA 23228 (mcshin.org), or Connor’s Heroes, P.O.

NANCY M. FRY Nancy M. Fry, 67, was called home to be with the Lord on November 2, 2018. She was born in Mechanicsville on February 4, 1951, and spent her life as a devoted wife, mother, grandmother “Nan” and friend who spent her life bringing joy and love to those around her. She

was active in her community and her church and tirelessly gave her time, spirit and energy to those causes that she believed in. She spent over 25 years as everyone’s favorite substitute FRY teacher in Chesterfield County and couldn’t go out to dinner without recognizing a student she’d taught years ago. After stepping away from substituting, she enjoyed traveling with her husband and her family. She held a special place in her heart for Maui, Hawaii, where she watched her son marry in 2013. Her faith, determination and love of family and friends led her to beat breast cancer in early 2017. Mrs. Fry is survived by her immediate family, including her husband of 44 years, James Fletcher Fry Jr. of Chesterfield; her son, Jonathan Mark Fry (Michele); her favorite grandson, Noah Alexander Fry; all of Woodbridge, and countless friends she loved dearly. A celebration of Nancy’s life was held at noon on Tuesday, November 6, 2018, at the Chesterfield Chapel of Bennett Funeral Home at 14301 Ashbrook Parkway in Chesterfield. A private graveside service will be held at Cool Springs Baptist Church in Mechanicsville later.

County sticks with Republicans, OKs amendments By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com HANOVER – With nearly 54,000 voters taking part in the Nov. 6 General Election, Hanover County saw 70.6 percent casting ballots. That number easily surpassed the 2014 turnout of 53.86%. Voters clung to their conservative roots, with the two Republican candidates handily capturing the county’s support. In the race for U.S. Senate, Corey A. Stewart garnered 32,333 (60.19%) of the votes over incumbent Democrat Timothy M. Kaine, 20,228 (37.65%) and Libertarian Matt J. Waters, 1,082 (2.01%). There were 79 (0.15%) write-in votes. Statewide, Kaine returns to Washington, D.C., with 1,907,351 (56.97%) votes followed by Stewart with 1,373,615 (41.03%), and

in votes. Two amendments on the ballot passed. Wittman got 183,224 (55.18%) votes in the district. Williams received 148,433

to allow the surviving spouse to move to a different primary residence and still claim the exemption? The votes were: Yes, 44,576 (84.51%) and No, 8,168 (15.49%). Throughout the state, the amendment got 2,753,423

cincts throughout Hanover, making our voter turnout 70.6%.” “Thanks to all the citizens that serve as Officers of Elections, and we are always looking for more citizens to serve in the polling places,” she added. Those interested in helping with elections are encouraged to contact Smithson’s office at 804365-6080 for more information. Smithson also said that the new “I voted” sticker was well received by voters. Deputy Registrar

Sheilah Frattini designed it. Toni Radler, chair of the Hanover County Democratic Committee, said, “It was an amazing election .We are thrilled that Tim Kaine was re-elected, and that Abigail Spanberger was elected from the 7th District, right next door to us, and that 100 women are going to Congress.” “It’s disappointing that once a g a i n Hanover was out of step with the rest of Virginia. As for Hanover Democrats, I couldn’t be prouder of the dedicated folks who canvassed, phone-

banked, worked the polls, wrote postcards, and supported our candidates,” she said. Dale Taylor, chair of the Hanover County Republican Committee, said, “Our Republican candidates, Corey Stewart and Rob Wittman, won decisively in Hanover due to an unusually large turnout. Although Corey Stewart did not prevail on a statewide basis, we appreciate his efforts to serve the Republican Party in the U.S. Senate and congratulate First District Congressman Rob Wittman as he returns to Washington for another two-year term.”

Lee-Davis High School recognized students for the September character trait “respect” in a recent ceremony. Respect means honoring the thoughts, feelings, and diversity of others, and holding in high regard the property of others and of the school. The September Students of the Month were freshman Lauren Bowman, sophomore Kyle Whitlock, junior Walter Brown Jr. and senior J’Khari Smith. The school community emphasizes a culture of personal growth through character development in and out of the classroom. The character recognition program was developed by and for students to honor those who model these traits daily. LeeDavis High School believes that this can make a difference in the school, the community, and the world, one person at a time.

with results from the Spring Paper Clover event held earlier this year, Virginia stores raised $79,171. According to Christi Korzekwa, senior vice president of marketing at Tractor Supply Company, there is immense value in supporting 4-H youth and their skills and interests. “Supporting today’s youth means supporting tomorrow’s leaders,” said Korzekwa. “Since 2010, Tractor Supply customers and team members have understood and supported the Paper Clover mission — to help provide vital handson learning opportunities and empower more 4-H youth to become leaders in their lives, careers and communities.” Fundraising efforts from Tractor Supply’s Paper Clover event fund scholarships for numerous state-level 4-H programs nationwide, and every Virginia donation benefits Virginia youth. Scholarships are used for camps and leadership conferences, where attend-

The company’s biannual fundraiser has collectively generated more than $14.9 million in essential funding to date. The Paper Clover campaign will return to Virginia Tractor Supply stores next spring.

VCC and R-MC agree to expanded Guaranteed Admission Agreement ASHLAND – A new Guaranteed Admission Agreement (GAA) will provide a seamless transition from all of Virginia’s community colleges to Randolph-Macon College’s baccalaureate program. The new agreement expands on an existing transfer program between R-MC and Reynolds Community College, which already has facilitated transfers for more than 200 students over the past two years. Marking the new agreement, Randolph-Macon College recently hosted a signing ceremony with Virginia Secretary of Education Atif Qarni, Glenn DuBois, chancellor for the VCCS, and

SHLAND -- The 49th annual Ashland/Hanover Olde Time Holiday Parade will step-off at 2:15 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 18. This longtime event is always held the Sunday before Thanksgiving. Entries were received from 112 units, with over 2,000 individuals taking part -- walking, riding, marching and dancing. The parade is sponsored by the Town of Ashland under the management of the Ashland Kiwanis Club as has been done for over 20 years. The starting location is at the intersection of

DOSWELL—The State Fair of Virginia’s 2018 attendance was 250,000, the highest under the fair’s current owner, and the second-highest since it moved to The Meadow Event Park in 2009. The fair reported 270,000 attendees in 2011. Last year’s attendance was just under 250,000. “We had near-perfect weather this year,” said Greg Hicks, vice president of communications for the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation, which became full owner of the fair in 2013. “The combination of that and ongoing improvements to the event created an appealing outing for fair-goers.” Marlene Jolliffe, the fair’s executive director and vice president of operations for The Meadow Event Park, said food sales increased 5 percent over last year, and carnival sales increased 11 percent. “Our carnival and food gross sales were both again records for the State Fair.

The larger Midway Madness by Virginia Lottery was again located in the Festival Loop area, which gave customers a much shorter walking distance and better access to rides, food concessions and other entertainment. This year, based on customer feedback, it was spread out more, and the ride ticket sales area was reconfigured for ease of travel. Other changes based on customer feedback included Blue Ribbon premium seating for concerts, VIP parking every day and Virginia’s Finest Sundays, which featured specialty see FAIR, pg. 17

Guaranteed Admission Requirements To be guaranteed admission to R-MC, GAA students must graduate from a transferoriented degree program at a Virginia community college with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher and submit an official transcript showing completion of the associate degree. R-MC will waive its application fee and eligible students. R-MC academic scholarships range from $14,000 to $21, 000, depending on the stu-

dentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GPA. All students are automatically considered for academic scholarships once they are granted admission to R-MC, and no separate scholarship application is required. In addition, GAA students who earned their Associates Degree at a VCCS school will be eligible for a two year College Transfer Grant from a program administered by the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia.

Jolliffe shared. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For 10

Another significant portion was drawn almost acre-for-acre by developers and lobbied for in private meetings with county representatives. That documentation, obtained through a FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) request by a citizen, only came out at the final public hearing on the expansion, held at Hanover High School in the spring of 2007.

the hearing – supporters outnumbered opponents 8-6 with one speaker undecided. At that point, some media representatives began to pack and leave to file their reports in time for deadlines. For the rest of the hearing, though, opponents outnumbered supporters 47 to 15, including 23-4 in the last hour. The Hanover County Board of Supervisors voted 4-3 in favor of the expansion. Citizens – including this writer – did not give up, mounting challenges in local elections in all seven districts that fall. In one, a third “spoiler” candidate siphoned votes from the insurgent candidate, who lost by a mere 15 votes. In another, a scurrilous lastminute postcard mailer may have made the difference when the insurgent candidate lost by 34 votes. Since that time, powerful special interests convinced Hanover County to forgo millions of dollars by drastically lowering cash proffers for new

development and rescinding many proffers previously made. Special interests also convinced the General Assembly to make it nearly illegal for developers to voluntarily proffer public parks and facilities such as firehouses and schools even if they want to. Citizens were disappointed to find that the Lake District developer had had discussions with the county for many months before the proposal became public. The county supervisor of the district in which it is proposed said a few months that ago that he had not been made aware of many of its details. Competing fiscal impact analyses can’t agree on how the development would impact taxpayers’ wallets. So the citizens of Hanover County once again find themselves scrambling at the last minute on their own time and their own dime to catch up with the intricate details of a proposal that will forever alter their finances, property values and quality

of life – a proposal on which small armies of paid professionals and lobbyists have directly or indirectly worked for years. And once again the questions from 2007 are asked: What is the rush on this proposal? Are the developer’s estimates of fiscal and infrastructure impacts valid? Why are the property rights of one corporation more important than those of thousands of individual taxpayers? Why weren’t citizens brought into the process sooner to have a seat at the table? Gosh, if only regular citizens had a system that would allow us to get together periodically and elect someone from among our own ranks to represent our interests in these discussions.

Pangallo also took issue with the official statement that stated the incident did not represent our community. “It is impossible to make that claim credibly while at the same time sending students into school buildings named to honor white supremacists who used terrorism and war to preserve a system of race-based slavery,” Dr. said.

A moment of silence honoring and remembering Clark opened a moving ceremony that featured keynote speaker and veteran Dr.Steve Starzer, pastor of Fairfleld Presbyterian Church in Mechanicsville. He also serves as chaplain for Hanover Fire/EMS. Noting a family history of military service, Starzer said his admiration has grown stronger since their service and said it takes a special individual to sacrifice for their country. “I’ve spent a lifetime observing and hearing the stories of the men and women who have served our great land,” Starzer said. He said he’s learned a great deal about the men and women who serve in those years of listening. “They are willing to do a job that 99 percent of the people in this land are not willing to do,” describing them as the “Warrior Class.” “Those who are willing to raise their right hand and serve their nation are compassionate people, first and foremost,” he added. Many of those vets go on to serve with Fire/EMS and

plan to combat racism in the community that included discussion and dialog, forming a Book Club that features minority authors, organizing a citizens’ committee and changing the names of the schools named for Confederate leaders. Hanover NAACP president Eddie Nelson said he does not think the incident is “reflective of what this county stands for,” but noted that it’s not the first report of race-based incidents. “We have to face this issue head-on,” Nelson said. “We must be willing to admit there is a problem.” Nelson suggested better communication between school administration and parents and students. In addition to the previously the Sheriff ’s Office, continuing that sense of dedication and willingness to serve. He said those who served didn’t hate the enemy, but rather loved their country. “They are willing to lay down their lives, not out of animosity or hatred, but out of love for this great land and its people,” Starzer said. He said a grateful community can and should show its appreciation for these selfless heroes. “We need to honor and appreciate them and give them the thanks that they so richly deserve.” Hanover Parks and Recreation director Greg Sager reminded attendees that the Memorial is open 365 days a year with no charge for admission. Citizens are welcome to visit, remember and contemplate the sacrifice of the men and women whose names are inscribed around them. The event is sponsored annually by Parks and Recreation and the Hanover County Veterans Memorial Committee. The Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office provided an Honor Guard to perform a rifle salute, and American Legion Post 175 and VFW Post 9808 participated in the wreath laying ceremony.

released statement from HCPS, board chairman Bob Hundley also addressed the issue. “Clearly, the school division acknowledges that this incident is hateful; we will not tolerate it; appropriate discipline will be imposed; and we are committed to serving the needs of all students,” Hundley said. He also explained the terminology was not designed to minimize the seriousness of the issue. “The term ‘isolated incident’ is simply providing much-needed context and not an attempt to sweep anything ‘under the rug’ or diminish its significance.” Superintendent Michael Gill listed a number of programs aimed at addressing equity in Hanover schools, and

said the efforts are ongoing. “We have been very deliberate in our efforts in this regard for many years, and I’m proud of the significant effort that our administrators, teachers and staff continue to devote to this important work,” Gill said. “This is not just a one-and-done approach; it is ongoing and at the very heart of focus on equity.” In other action, the board announced the hiring of a new principal at Patrick Henry High School. Vice principal Michael Hernandez will assume the top spot on Jan. 1. Interim principal Paul Cash will continue to serve for the remainder of this calendar year.

Police chief tells council about safety of downtown crosswalks By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND -- “Our town is a pedestrian town and we have strived as a town council to continue to improve our pedestrian access and our movement of traffic.

“Let local officials make local decisions,” Farrar said. An increase in state funding for public transportation is another item on this year’s legislative agenda, as well as a desire to maintain state support for local police agencies. The list also includes support for state funding for local storm water improvement projects to increase and continue. “We are asking that the state help fund the mandate they have placed on local governments,” Farrar said. Council member John Hodges suggested strengthening the transportation request to include road and infrastructure upgrades. Regarding machinery and tools taxes, Farrar said it’s appropriate for the state to review those levies, but should they be altered to provide another source of income for localities to replace those depleted funds. Farrar also noted support to allow localities to “be part of the solution” regarding broadband access and remove barriers that discourage competition for large providers. “We thing we know what our local residents need and we’d like to supply that for them,” Farrar said. In other matters, Goodman recognized six officers for their outstanding service at the meeting. In presenting his

quarterly awards, he described himself as “a lucky man” to be fortunate enough to work with such a talented group of colleagues. “I get to work with an incredible team.” Goodman said. Michael Helbig has a familiar face around Ashland. He is often the officer who responds to neighborhood speeding problems or performing other duties of a patrol officer. But Helbig also focuses on removing intoxicated or impaired drivers from our roadways. Last year the Ashland police made 40 arrests for DUI related offenses and Helbig accounted for 11 of those arrests. He received this year’s MADD award, a repeat performance for the Ashland officer. Officers Grant Bonistalli, James Spada and Jason Helminger were awarded lifesaving awards for their efforts in preventing a suicide on England Street in July. The trio broke in to the apartment and secured the individual and provided both medical and mental health assistance. Also recognized for an act of lifesaving were Officers Allison Coffey and Scott Nuessle for their response to an unresponsive victim last August. The pair provided CPR until rescue units arrived.

next three years. Upgrades and infrastructure have improved speed and reception throughout middle and high schools in the county and elementary schools are next up for those upgrades. In other news, Cold Harbor representative Norman Sulser requested the board adopt a policy addressing VHSL (Virginia High School League) rules regarding uniform dress

requirements. The action stems from a request made by Sulser early in the football season asking LeeDavis officials to comply with VHSL rules that require football jerseys to be tucked in and not extending below the waist. Sulser said about 15 players continually wore t-shirts under their jerseys that extended well

crosswalks, and 16 incidents involving pedestrians walking along the road. During that period, eight summonses for crosswalk violations have been issued. The current code requires vehicles to yield right-of-way to crossing pedestrians on roads where the speed limit is 35 mph or less. “It is incumbent on the pedestrian to wait for a break in oncoming traffic in the way the code is written,” Goodman said. The code creates a challenge for law enforcement. “It’s a challenge,” the chief added. He said current code does allow some localities to require vehicles to stop and yield to any pedestrians waiting in a designated crossing with signage requiring drivers to stop. Council members moved to add an item to the current legislative agenda that would add Ashland to that list of localities with that option. That item joined a list of other agenda items that reflect the county’s wish list for this year’s General Assembly session. Town Manager Josh Farrar said Ashland compiles that list in a specific and concentrated manner. “I think it’s important for us to be strategic in what items we place on that agenda,” he said, referring to items that directly affect local control of revenue caps.

Steve Forbes, a 1996 and 2000 Republican presidential candidate, and his daughter, Moira Forbes, spoke Thursday evening at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland. The audience was allowed to participate by sending questions via text to them.

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has wonderful pets available to a good home. Petey, 527764, is a 1-year-old neutered male pitbull. He has had his first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Petey is a load of fun. He has so much playful energy. He absolutely loves to run and play. He also does well with other playful dogs. Petey does really good around people. He will do best in a living situation where he can get lots of play time and exercise. Anderson, 533782, is a 1-year-old domestic short-hair male feline. He has had his first set of vaccines given and is FELV/FIV test negative. Anderson has been an outdoor cat but he is well suited to live inside. He is well litter-trained and keeps his living space very clean. Anderson also does well around all people. He is warm and friendly. Anderson also has been around plenty of other cats. He will make a great indoor/ outdoor companion.

R-MC wins ‘The Game’ and ODAC title By Chip Brierre For the Times-Dispatch FARMVILLE — In the 123rd installment of “The Game,” Randolph-Macon secured the Old Dominion Athletic Conference title by locking down HampdenSydney, 48-35. The win moves the Yellow Jackets to 8-6 in in the rivalry when the conference title is on the line, dating back to the formation of the ODAC in 1976. The Tigers (4-5), who have now lost to the Yellow Jackets (8-2) in five straight seasons, had a chance to take control in front of their sellout crowd on the first play of the game. At his own 4-yard line, senior quarterback Alec Cobb connected with junior receiver Major Morgan, who raced down the sideline 86 yards, leaving defenders in his wake. But junior safety De’Angelo Barr closed the gap, and forced Morgan to fumble at RandolphMacon’s 8-yard line. The Yellow Jackets recovered. “It was crazy, I saw him miss tackles and it became second nature,” said Barr of the play. “We are always practicing to run to the ball, always pursue, and that is what kicked in.” “It was a tone-setter,” said Randolph-Macon head coach Pedro Arruza. “I knew our kids were going to come out here and battle.”

Joel Klein for The Local

Randolph-Macon sophomore running back Jordan Hall gets the first of his four touchdowns to open the scoring in the second quarter of the Yellow Jackets’ 48-35 win at Hampden-Sydney Saturday. The win earned Randolph-Macon the ODAC championship.

The turnover proved ominous for Hampden-Sydney’s offense in the first half. The Yellow Jackets kept Cobb on the ropes, allowing him to complete just 4-of-11 passes for 105 yards and an interception before

intermission. While Cobb finished with 365 yards and four touchdowns, most of that was in a come-from-behind effort in the second half. “We needed to get that first outlet pass and get rolling,” said

Hampden-Sydney head coach Marty Favret. “We’ve leaned on [Cobb] a lot. Without much of a running game, I’m proud of how he handled things.” Randolph-Macon’s offense had no problems moving the

football. Before halftime, the Yellow Jackets ran 53 plays to the Tigers’ 14, earning 15 first downs and converting 6-of-11 third downs for 228 yards and three touchdowns. Sophomore running back

The Mechanicsville Local

Jordan Hall, a Hermitage High product, made his mark on “The Game” by carrying the ball 26 times for 99 yards and four touchdowns, three of them coming in the second half to keep Hampden-Sydney at bay. “Being able to contribute and play with my boys, it was an amazing feeling,” said Hall of his second experience in the rivalry game. “The way we were practicing this week, I knew it would pay off.” Saturday’s victory not only locked Randolph-Macon into the NCAA Division III playoffs, it also provided the senior class one more week together to further cement their legacy. Their four-year record is 28-13. “We got our kids together last night for a bonfire and the underclassmen spoke about the seniors. It was an emotional time,” Arruza said. “I’m looking forward to one more week with them.” “Knowing that this was the last regular season game we would play together really affected us and motivated us to play harder,” said senior wide receiver Eric Hoy. “All the extra stuff is just a bonus, being able to spend four years with them, that’s the best.” The Yellow Jackets will travel to John Carroll in University Heights, Ohio, Saturday for the first round of the NCAA see THE GAME, pg. 29

Glen Allen ends Atlee’s turnaround season Tyler Warren. On the first play after the kickoff, Riddick spotted Butler behind the Atlee defense and completed a 64-yard touchdown pass to put the Jaguars up by two touchdowns again. Then Riddick connected to a wide open Drew Morris over the middle for a 38-yard touchdown pass to make the score 27-7. Atlee’s second touchdown, a 3-yard run by Isaiah Abel,

By Arthur Utley For the Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – The Glen Allen football team has made a habit of beating teams for the first time in this record setting season. Glen Allen did it again on the road against Atlee on Friday night in the first round of the Class 5 Region B football playoffs. The fifth-seeded Jaguars shut out the fourth-seeded Raiders in the first half and responded quickly to each of Atlee’s touchdowns in the second half to record a 34-14 victory on a damp, chilly night. The Jaguars were 0-4 against the Raiders when both teams were members of the Capital District (2011-2014). Glen Allen logged its ninth victory of the season against two losses and won its first playoff game in its second playoff appearance. The Jaguars won a total of seven games from 2014-2017. The first postseason appearance came in 2013 when the school qualified for the 4A playoffs with a losing record and lost in the first round. The Glen Allen student section was as excited as the players were with the victory and rushed onto the field to celebrate after the teams went through the handshake line. “I’m really proud of our guys because this could have been a moment that could have been too big for them. They didn’t let it get to them. They just came out and played a great football game on both sides of the ball,” coach Sal Camp said. “There are times we let up and tonight I didn’t see the letup. They played for 48 minutes, and that’s what we preach and that’s what they did tonight.” The Raiders end the season with a 7-4 record. Friday night was their first appearance in the playoffs since 2015 when

Atlee’s Tucker Bratton appears to be headed for a touchdown, but a referee said he stepped out of bounds in the Raiders’ 34-14 loss to visiting Glen Allen in the first round of the Region 5B playoffs Friday. Atlee ended its season at 7-4.

Atlee was a member of the 5A North Region. That team went 7-5 with a playoff win in the first round before losing in the second round. After winning just three games a year ago, the Raiders began this season with five consecutive victories. The three regular-season losses were to Highland Springs, Henrico and Varina, teams ranked in The Times-Dispatch Top 10. Glen Allen quarterback Donovan Riddick continued to

be the linchpin of the Jaguars’ offensive attack. He threw three touchdown passes, two to Chris Butler (six catches, 101 yards), and rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown. “Our offensive line was fantastic tonight,” Camp said. “The [Isaac] Abel kid, the nose guard, for them is a scary kid, and we knew he was going to be hard to block. Our offensive line stepped up big time.” Glen Allen led 13-0 at halftime. Placekicker Faraz

Mohammed booted 24- and 30-yard field goals, and Butler turned a swing pass from Riddick into a 15-yard touchdown reception. The Jaguars held the Atlee offense to 66 total yards with 40 coming on a run by Tucker Bratton. A personal foul penalty one play later caused the drive to stall. “Basically every night we come out we set a goal to go out on the field and shut a team out, and if we don’t reach that goal it’s OK, but we don’t want to give

up many points,” said Jaguar defensive lineman Solomon Dozier, who pressured Warren frequently. “We do our jobs; we do the lineman assignment and execution. That’s what we focus on. As long as we do those things we’ll be able to succeed in the game.” Atlee converted a fourthdown pass on the opening possession of the third quarter and went on to narrow its deficit to 13-7 when Bratton caught a 13-yard touchdown pass from

Raiders advance to Class 5 volleyball semifinals By Jackson Didlake For the Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – Chayse Tyler led the way for the Atlee Raiders with 11 kills and added 12 digs in a 3-1 victory against the Kempsville Chiefs in the Class 5 state quarterfinals. The set scores were 21-25, 25-23, 25-23, 25-8. “We had way more energy and we just wanted it bad,” said Tyler, the senior captain. Both the crowd and players were extremely spirited throughout the entirety of the game. The Raiders were coming off of an upset over the then-undefeated Mills Godwin Eagles to win the Region 5B championship. Kempsville took the opening set 25-21. The set was backand-forth throughout until Kempsville put together a 5-0 run to close. Down 7-3 in the second set, Atlee took a timeout. They rallied back, and broke a 23-23 tie to win. “After that timeout our whole demeanor changed,” said Atlee head coach Curtis Carpenter. “I really think that was the turnaround for us as a team.” In the third set, both teams knew what was on the line as they found themselves tied 22-22 with a great opportunity lurking. Brianna Brown’s kill to take a 23-22 lead in the third set would be the difference in the set. Atlee took the set 25-22, and with it the Raiders had a 2-1 lead. Atlee came out firing on all cylinders in the fourth set. “At the end of the game we started blocking like crazy, it was like a block party,” Tyler said. After sprinting to a commanding 11-1 opening lead, the Raiders would come out on top

25-8 and take the match 3-1. “I think us taking that third set and putting them down 2-1 took it out of them mentally,” Carpenter said. Atlee sophomore Brianna Brown helped Tyler pave the way to a victory with nine kills, 12 assists, and eight digs. Other key contributors included Leah Zatorski with 16 assists and 13 digs, and Rylie Harris with nine assists and 16 digs. Atlee faces the Princess Anne Cavaliers on Tuesday in the state semifinals. Princess Anne, the top-ranked team in

the state, is coming off a victory against Mills Godwin and is undefeated this year. Despite the challenge, Atlee feels confident headed into Tuesday. “The big dogs can fall at any time,” said Carpenter. Elsewhere, Hanover’s girls volleyball season came to an end Saturday in a 3-0 sweep at the hands of visiting Warhill. The Hawks, who were the Region 4B champions, ended their season at 19-3.
