ASHLAND – As the senior member of Ashland Town Council, Faye O. Prichard has clarified some points from the July 21 meeting pertaining to the Ashland Main Street Association.

In the July 29 edition of The Hanover Local, she had responded to fellow council member Steve

Trivett, who had asked about the $20,000 given to the Main Street group in the consent agenda.

Prichard described her fellow council member as being “totally vigilant about anything that we spend money on in the town. If there’s a dollar amount attached to it, he wants to know where it went.

Sugar Fix Bakery in Ashland’s cute college town

A

SHLAND — Rockville resident, life-long baker and mother of six Melinda Foster opened Sugar Fix during Ashland’s Fourth of July fes-

tivities.

Locals became curious about the bakery in November when the pink store front declared that Sugar Fix would open soon.

Foster began running Sugar Fix out of her Rockville home in 2011 before the business’ growing popularity encouraged her to expand the baking facility.

Sugar Fix’s long-awaited opening brought hundreds to the 105B England St. location.

“People were lined up out the door to get in,” Foster said.

For the Fourth of July grand opening, Sugar Fix sold red, white and blue cookies, as well as other summer-themed treats.

The best seller on opening day was the “Center of the Universe” sugar cookie, which is in the shape of the commonwealth of Virginia, with a red heart piped onto the location of Ashland.

Many Ashland residents were drawn to Sugar Fix’s undeniably “adorable” exterior. A pink vintage bike and suitcase greet hungry guests at the front door. Inside, pastel colors and vintage décor make guests feel as though they’ve been

transported to a sugary dream. Every detail of the store -- from the workers’ pink latex gloves to the jars of penny candy -- give the impression of vintage deliciousness.

Rachel LeStourgeon of RVA Antiques is the creative mind behind Sugar Fix’s vintage appeal.

LeStourgeon hand painted the pink and blue Union Jack flag on one of Sugar Fix’s vintage couches and even decoupaged the bakery’s fullyworking early 1900s refrigerator.

Sugar Fix’s workers also embody the bakery’s vintage image with their matching pastel shirts and bandana headbands.

“People say, ‘This place just makes me happy’,” Foster said.

The frosting pink walls may entice dessert fanatics to enter Sugar Fix, but the cookies deserve all of the fuss.

The thick, soft, homemade sugar cookies decorated with generous amounts of frosting are as delicious as they are pretty. Foster claims that one recipient of a Sugar Fix cookie actually refused to eat it, choosing to instead freeze and preserve the sweet to make into a Christmas tree ornament.

All of the baked goods made from scratch, including the hand-dyed icing that adorns the sugar cookies. The thick treats are meticulously

The Hanover Local August 5, 2015

hand-decorated by Sugar Fix workers right at the front counter.

“It takes a long time [to decorate the cookies], but it’s so fun,” cookie decorator and Ashland resident Noah Maphis said.

Maphis is a family friend and offered to help Foster with the bakery.

Homemade brownies, Rice Krispy treats and chocolate chip cookies also fill the front counter’s glass case.

Sugar Fix supports other local Richmond businesses by selling their products in Ashland.

Rockville’s Harvest Hill Bakery’s fresh ciabatta, garlic knots and other delicious breads are sold at Sugar Fix, along with Dixie Donut and Let’s Nosh products.

Lola Cakes products, which are baked goods made specifically for dogs, are sold in Foster’s bakery to ensure that all members of the family can enjoy a treat.

The pastel interior and cute decorations aren’t intended to deter boys and men from enjoying Sugar Fix’s selection of goods. Foster keeps more “boyishly”-shaped cookies in stock, and has a wide client base that enjoys her desserts.

“This place is cute,” Montpelier resident and owner of Voip Dragon Consulting Jeremiah Rutherford said, carrying his pink box of donuts

and brownies to his wife and kids outside. “It’s like a little boutique.”

Rutherford said he decided to visit Sugar Fix to support a fellow small business owner.

The bakery’s website is still under construction, but more information can be found on Facebook.

OPINION | The Local Views

Americans are vocal in wanting change

From the editor

Put the phone down and focus on driving

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

O

ur parent company, BH Media Group, recently recommended employees watch a video about distracted driving. Well, as was said by many co-workers through Richmond Suburban News, it was quite eye-opening and, most of all, tragic.

The true story of a young woman who survived a crash that claimed the lives of her parents is shared by her and her boyfriend. She has had a struggle to regain some semblance of a normal life since the accident.

We see the public service announcements and reminders from various apps about don’t use them while driving, yet some motorists continue to talk, text and surf while behind the wheel of a vehicle.

The real-life story we watched went back to that fateful day when the new college graduate, traveling with her parents, was struck by a tractortrailer that had avoided a car driven by a teenager. The teen was distracted by a call on his smartphone. He will carry the events of that day with him for the rest of his life — because he was the one at fault.

We see it every day — and, admittedly, some of us have been guilty of checking email while at a stop light. That is on the not again list.

My vehicle has Bluetooth, which is certainly convenient — but not a necessity in my life. While there has been that ongoing addiction to the iPhone (personal and business), whatever the call is has to wait. Leave a voicemail and I’ll get back to you.

The ultimate frustration is seeing someone zipping through an intersection with a phone strategically placed between the ear and shoulder — with no consideration for the status of the lighting system. Yes, this writer has witnessed too many running red lights.

We get into a vehicle and just assume we’re going to get from Point A to Point B. Well, that’s far from the truth. Sadly, the likelihood of being involved in an automobile accident is all too real. And sometimes they occur in the freakiest of circumstances.

Distracted driving, however, is not acceptable and should not be the cause of any motor vehicle accident. Put down the phone and drive.

The Hanover Local August 5, 2015

hange is a concept that is best described by the ones who are demanding it.

Every four years, Americans are barraged with promises of change from a system that is broken. Problem is, the individuals making the promises have cried wolf too many times.

And defining what change represents or how that possible change affects your personal life is more perplexing.

Affecting and defining change are concepts whose meanings have become tired and clichéd, and, when politicians preach it, we turn a deaf ear.

Something is, however, changing in this year’s pre-election stampede, but it’s not in the routine rhetoric to which we have become accustomed.

Has the American voter finally arrived at the point of no return, where talk of change will not take the place of real action and pragmatic policies?

If the voices of early polls indicate anything, they tell us that a vocal and substantial group of Americans are demanding more than just talk when it comes to this group of potential candidates.

Though Donald Trump’s rise to the top of the Republican heap is certainly not sustainable, it does reflect a genuine disgust on the part of a segment of voters who seriously question the direction of government in America — which brings me back to change and a few comments regarding change and how to reasonably gauge its progress.

It’s important to realize that any real transformation in

the American system is unlikely, and real change comes within the restraints of our defined political system of government.

That doesn’t mean oversight and management don’t require the constant vigil of the public, and there’s always a better way to build a mousetrap.

Talk of eliminating legal immigration, forcing other countries to pay for our infrastructure on the border or demeaning other candidates is not change, or, better said, change that cannot be achieved.

There’s always room for real improvement when governments are examined closely, and true change comes with the choices we make in the ballot box.

But the voice of a substantial segment of American voters cannot be ignored, and their support of Trump represents more than confidence in a billionaire to run the greatest nation on earth.

They are looking for authenticity in a candidate that speaks their kind of language, straight, unfiltered and to the point. The oversimplified platform appeals to many voters who have lost trust in the system and the people who run it.

Sadly, real solutions are never simple, and loud boisterous debates usually result in limited results.

Is there a message in the recent madness of party politics?

Yes, but only if the politicians running get the message that Americans are tired of the same old thing, and innovative thinking is required to maintain our valued way of life.

A Howard Beale/Network approach like the one we are witnessing now does little to resolve the country’s real issues.

But, it should highlight the fact that Americans are ready for change, and we’re not just talking this time.

Hot cars and common sense in the summer

By Patrick Gordon Richmond Suburban News

N

FL safety Tyrann Mathieu recently locked himself in a hot car on a 90-degree day to demonstrate what happens to animals when they’re left in the car while their owners run errands.

After only two minutes, the temperature had risen by seven degrees. Two minutes later, it had risen another eight degrees. After only six minutes, the temperature was 113 degrees.

Eight minutes after closing the doors, with the temperature in the car reaching 120 degrees, Mathieu called it quits. He couldn’t take it any longer. The heat was unbearable.

When people leave their pets or -- even worse -small children, in the car on a hot day, the danger is

very real.

You wouldn’t sit in a car when it’s over 100 degrees. Don’t force someone else to do it.

Tragedies are worst when they could have been easily avoided. Don’t make the mistake of thinking that it’s not a big deal or that you’ll be right back.

If you’re leaving the car, take your children and pets with you. If you can’t do that, then wait until later to run that errand, mail that package or pick up those groceries. What might seem like an inconvenience is a small price to pay compared to the cost of a life.

world music scenes, Matuto features guitar, accordion, bass, drums and various Brazilian percussion instruments: the alfaia (a large, wooden, rope-tuned bass drum), the pandeiro (a Brazilian tambourine), the berimbau (a single-string on a bow struck with a small stick), and the agogô (a pair of small, pitched metal bells.)

In May 2013, the band released its second full length album, “The Devil and the Diamond,” on Motéma Music. This recording reflects the inspiring live show that the band has developed over hundreds of performances around the world.

Appalachian fiddle tunes bounce

with a Northeastern Brazilian lilt while the one string Berimbau resonates with a strangely effective blues riff.

Long chromatic melodies are spun over intricate arrangements and infectiously funky folkloric rhythms.

With an honest love for roots music, genuine Brazilian styles and improvisational experimentation, Matuto creates a unique and inspired sound from the heart of New York City’s diverse musical culture.

consent agenda at the last council meeting as a matter of it’s a recurring budget item.”

She said town council supports the organization with $20,000 every year.

Trivett had two issues with the portion of funding council provides.

He asked about the association being self-sufficient and how the town’s contribution is utilized.

While Prichard said he was not criticizing Main Street, “he wasn’t sure what they were doing was supporting business. And then he made the analogy that it would be like building a big new beautiful hospital and finding out the patients are all dying.”

Prichard, with 14 years of service to the town on council, said she responded by saying, “Yes, you are correct that Main Street would eventually be self-supporting. That being said, we’ve never given them any direction on that.”

She reiterated, “We’ve never given them any direction; we’ve never given them any time line. And before we do that, we ought to have them come in and talk to us.”

She said she thinks Trivett will be “pleasantly surprised” when Main Street representatives address council.

“I think Steve Trivett will be pleasantly surprised at what all that Main

Street does. When I think about Main Street, we’re not talking about direct value in the way that you think Main Street will bring in a new business, bring in ‘X’ number of tax dollars.

That’s just not what you’re going to see,” Prichard added.

“What Main Street is tasked with is growing and enhancing the downtown business environment. It’s to make downtown a place where people want to shop and want to live and want to be. And I think Main Street is doing an amazing job at that,” she said.

With the Ashland Theater becoming a highlight in the town, Prichard pointed out the role the Main Street group has taken by being actively involved in its revitalization and growth.

She praised Main Street as being “actively involved in all the things that make downtown a place where people want to come.” She called the members “the real supporters of business.”

In acknowledging the $20,000 annual contribution, Prichard said that is “a minimal amount of money for what we get in return. The members and the citizen volunteers put in so many hours and so much time and effort that you couldn’t begin to imagine the dollar value of their contributions.”

“So, basically, the $20,000 pales in comparison to what those folks put in,” she said in reaffirming her support of the Ashland Main Street Association.

Mural dedication at the Community Services department Photo submitted by Tom Harris

A mural dedication will get underway at 4 p.m. today (Wednesday, Aug. 5) at the Community Services department in Ashland. The mural was painted over a period of several months by seven teens (aged 14 to 18) enrolled in the County’s Drug Court program. The drug court program provides therapy, intensive probation and judicial supervision, frequent and random drug screening, support group sessions and school monitoring to county teens with substance abuse disorders who have engaged in criminal activities. One of the members of the group is shown with the mural. The teens chose the metaphor, “Your Recovery is in Your Hands” to represent the journey towards recovery they have collectively undertaken. Each silhouette on the mural represents themselves, including the student who saw himself as a “lone wolf’ and therefore used the wolf as a symbol.

Ashland swims to top 10 in GRAL Champs standings, from seventh place Saturday to fourth place Sunday.

To do that, the GRAL Division 2 team had to beat a number of Division I opponents, including cross-county rival Burkwood, which finished sixth.

“The fact that we were fourth just is amazing. They did great. It was cool, really cool,” said Mechanicsville head coach Ari Brothers. “We should have been 10th or ninth.”

Brothers said it is surprising to move up so much on Sunday, which is traditionally the final day of the meet.

“A lot of times Sunday is peoples’ strong day,” Brothers said. “The kids are older. They know how to swim. … To move up on that day is a lot harder than it is to move up on a Saturday.”

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com RICHMOND – After the first day of the Greater Richmond Aquatic League Champs swim meet Saturday, Ashland’s Barracudas sat in the middle – 16th place – in the 29team field.

When the 13-and-older swimmers arrived to compete at the Collegiate School Aquatics Center Sunday, the Barracudas had some work to do to improve their rank in the team standings.

They did. Ashland scored 260 points to overtake six competitors to claim a 10th-place finish, quite a jump for a team that finished 2-4 in the regular season – even more remarkable in that the Barracudas had to do it without one of their stars, Ted Schubert, who was competing in the National Club Swimming Association Summer Junior National Championships in Indianapolis.

Schubert, who also swims for NOVA of Virginia Aquatics, was one of six GRAL swimmers earning qualifying times for the U.S. Olympic team trials next year at the NCSA event.

But Trent had plenty of other stars and rising stars to step up at Champs.

“Christine Datovech won the 50 butterfly. It was good to see. It’s pretty rare for a 9-yearold to win a 9-10 event,” Trent
