Furnace Mountain to perform at Bluemont Concert Series Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com

A

SHLAND – The Bluemont Concert Series will present Furnace Mountain at 7 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 27, for the fourth of five concerts in Ashland.

The concert will be held on the steps of Randolph-Macon’s Mary Branch Residence Hall at 204 Henry St. Furnace Mountain consists of Dave Van Deventer on fiddle and vocals, Morgan Morrison on bouzouki and vocals, Aimee Curl on bass and vocals, Danny Knicely on mandolin, and includes transient members Zach Lester on bodhran, and John Flower on washtub.

The band has graced stages near and far, from the Yangtze River in China to the banks of the Shenandoah River, where they host the famous Watermelon Park Fest each year.

The music of Furnace Mountain is at times lively and raucous, with spirited fiddle melodies weaving in and around the powerful rhythms of the bass and bouzouki. It is at other times poignant and poetic, with sublime vocal harmonies beautifully interpreting some of the oldest songs ever written.

Admission is $5 per person, $4 for Bluemont Friends and seniors, and $2 for kids under 12. Proceeds go to support Bluemont’s Artists-In-Education Program in area schools.

Concert-goers are invited to bring a lawn chair or a blanket to sit on, and a picnic to enjoy before the show.

As at all Bluemont concerts, no pets, alcohol or smoking are allowed.

On July 28, 2017, Hanover Humane concluded its Tenth Annual “Loving Critter Camp” for animal-loving children (rising second through fifth graders).

Hanover Humane dedicated this educational program for children in honor of Ms. Diana Lynn Loving, one of Hanover Humane’s patrons.

During this year’s week-long Camp, the Campers participated in age-appropriate lessons, crafts, and hands-on animal encounters with a variety of animals

including chickens, birds, kittens, dogs, etc. In addition, the Campers were visited by a number of presenters such as Chief Jeff Parker with Hanover Animal Control, Deputy Braxton Reed with the Hanover Sheriff ’s Office, as well as Eastern Herding Dog Rescue. Chief Parker conducted a presentation for the Campers which highlighted issues with animal care, maintenance, and he also covered multiple Animal Control topics. Deputy Reed and his canine, “CoJack” met with the children

and discussed topics related to working canines such as CoJack which are trained for use by the Hanover Sheriff ’s Office.

The Campers were treated to a presentation by CoJack and were allowed to interact with him. Visits by Hanover Humane’s Facilities Manager, Carolyn Congelosi from Watermark Farm, Hanover Humane’s “Chip,” and “Theodore,” the tricks dog, rounded out the list of presenters. The see CRITTER, pg. 3

RIDE Continued from pg. 1

slated to open in 2018, the local park will unveil its holiday themed promotion called WinterFest next fall.

That announcement was accompanied by a blizzard of artificial snow and a visit from Santa Claus as Gary Chadwick, vice president and general manager of the amusement park, delivered the good news.

Fans gathered in front of a large video display screen to get their first virtual ride on the new coaster, a themed visit to the “once thriving” Hanover Mill Orchard.

The fictitious mill was victim to a mysterious explosion in 1950, and Kings Dominion riders will be the first visitors to the site, beginning in 2018, since the catastrophe.

“Take a ride through previously forbidden grounds where you’ll experience the unexplained and see evidence preserved from that fateful day,” the promotional flyer teases.

Chadwick said the construction “uses the latest technology in coaster manufacturing, combining wood and steel to give riders an incredible experience that is impossible to achieve on a traditional wooden coaster.”

The new attraction will carry riders on a climb of more than 100 feet before plummeting downward with full barrel roll, the first of three inversions contained in the design.

Designed by Rocky Mountain Construction of Idaho, Twisted Timbers is the 42-year-old park’s 13th roller coaster. With top speeds of more than 50 mph, the new attraction will be located in the Candy Apple Grove section of the park.

WinterFest will feature holiday entertainment for the entire family with ice skating, live entertainment, seasonal crafts and cookie decorating.

The park’s iconic Eiffel Tower will be transformed into a Christmas Tree complete with a dazzling computerized light show.

The new venture is expected to

create hundreds of new jobs; positions that are important to Hanover County according to Angela Kelly-Wiecek, chair of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors.

“King’s Dominion not only provides part-time employment for our youth, they also provide meaningful full-time employment for a wide range of people,” she said. “Their continued and ongoing investment affects us in many areas — a fantastic partner on many fronts.”

She noted ongoing partnerships the park enjoys with Hanover County Public Schools and the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office Chadwick also noted the importance of the park’s local connection.

“When I became general manager, there weren’t many Hanover County connections in the park,” Chadwick said. “We wanted to build the Hanover connection in to the concept of this Jim Ridolphi for The Hanover Local ride so we could show how proud we Attendees at last week’s Twisted Timbers announcement were eager to are to be here. The local region makes get their first virtual look at the new coaster, a wood and steel construction us who we are.” expected to yield unique rider experiences at Kings Dominion.

OBITUARIES | Death Notices & Funerals DAVID CONNORS David Todd Connors, whose determination to live for his wife and young children fueled his long struggle with colorectal cancer, died of the disease Aug. 13 at his Mechanicsville home.

He was 39. Connors was an account executive in the Richmond office of Apex Systems, an IT staffing firm where seven of his colleagues shaved their heads in solidarity when he lost his hair from chemotherapy. They posted photos to social media with the caption “Shave for Dave,” as Connors was often called. Throughout the 6½ years of his illness, Connors inspired many people with his positive attitude. His wife, the former Kelly McGrew, fulfilled her dream of opening a fitness studio, Pulse Barre in Mechanicsville, thanks to his encouragement and support. He took his daughter, 9-year-old Adeline, on Geocaching treasure hunt adventures and played soccer with his son, 5-year-old Matthew. He enjoyed vacations in Mexico, the Bahamas and Jamaica, often rewards for high performance in his job. At Apex, he began as a technical recruiter in 2001 and worked his way up to a principal position. He seldom called out sick as he underwent three lung surgeries and several rounds of chemotherapy and radiation and participated in a clinical trial at The Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore.

And he continued working until his body had totally deteriorated, driven both by a love of his job and a desire to provide for his family. “He never had a pity party,” Kelly Connors said. She remembers her husband leaving chemotherapy, barely able to walk but with earbuds in to take business calls. At Hopkins, “people would look at us and try to figure out, ‘Who is the cancer patient?’ because he looked so good,” she said.

Connors was born in Houston, Texas, on June 8, 1978, the younger of two brothers. He spent most of his childhood in Poquoson, on the Virginia Peninsula, where he was captain of his high school basketball team.

His father, Kevin Connors, was a petty officer in the Coast Guard, now retired. His mother, Vickie Connors, was a NASA research scientist; she is now retired from NASA and works as an assistant professor CONNORS at Virginia Commonwealth University’s Center for Environmental Studies.

The family already suffered a tragedy when Dave Connors’ brother, also Matthew Connors, died in 1996 at age 19. Connors studied business administration at the College of Charleston and transferred to James Madison University, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in finance. He fell in love with his wife in 2000 during their last semester at the university, when they lived in apartments across a courtyard from one another.

The couple married in 2003. Connors enjoyed fishing, hunting, and golf with his friends and family. He loved going to the beach, particularly on the Outer Banks. On Jan. 10, 2011, he visited a gastroenterologist for what he thought was a minor medical issue when a tumor was detected. He struggled to regain his composure to deliver the news to his wife, in the waiting room with Adeline, then 2. He underwent chemotherapy, radiation and surgery and thought he was cured until a routine scan in November 2011 showed cancer had spread to his lungs. At that time, shortly before his son’s birth, he was told he had two to three years to live. “It has made us realize that nothing in life is guaranteed

and that we should make an effort to cherish the time we have together,” he told Richmond Family Magazine in a 2015 interview. Connors was under hospice care in his final days. He promised his wife he would not die without saying goodbye, and on his last morning, he found a few moments of lucidity to grab her hand and pull her in for a kiss. He passed with her at his side. In addition to his wife and children, Connors is survived by his parents, of King and Queen County; maternal grandmother, Margit Connelley of Jacksonville, Florida; maternal grandfather Charles “Chuck” Connelley and stepgrandmother, “Nana” Maggie of Virginia Beach; paternal grandmother, Barbara Connors

of Toms River, New Jersey; mother- and father-in-law, Sandra and Michael McGrew of Beaverdam; and brother-in-law, Brian McGrew of Orange, Connecticut. He also leaves behind two dogs and two cats. Funeral services were held at 11 a.m. Friday, August 18, 2017, at the Shady Grove United Methodist Church at 8209 Shady Grove Road in Mechanicsville. Connors’ friends have created a fundraising campaign to support his children’s future. In lieu of flowers, contributions can be made to https://www. gofundme.com/tributetodavidconnors.

Woody Funeral Home at 9271 Shady Grove Road in Mechanicsville was in charge of arrangements.

There’s no place for hate in our America

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

I

t’s 11:08 a.m. Wednesday, Aug. 16, and the memorial service for Heather Heyer is taking place. I didn’t know the young woman who lost her life in a hate-filled melee Saturday, Aug. 12, in Charlottesville, but my heart aches for her loss.

What took place that fateful day when she lost her life in a cruel and intentional act has left our state and nation in pain.

Heyer was part of the counter-protest movement when neo-Nazis and white supremacists marched into Charlottesville with violence on their minds.

The idea of supporting ideologies that became a major part of the battles of World War II being alive and thriving today are incomprehensible. What an insult to those who served and those who gave their lives for the freedoms we have.

I do support free speech, but hate should never be part of the conversation. How can you hate someone based on color or religion? To hear white men spewing ugly comments about Jews and using the “n” word was surreal.

Sadly, these hate-mongers feel empowered as if they have they have been given the green light to come out of the darkest recesses of society to share their hate.

This isn’t the first time I’ve written about this topic — and I wish I could say it will be the last, but that’s doubtful. How does anyone believe they’re superior based on skin color and how do they claim to be Christians when they target God’s chosen people?

I’m heartbroken for the families of the three victims of Saturday’s violence. There’s no logic to what took place or why keeping a statue would lead to such tragedy.

What happened in Charlottesville has sparked a coast to coast reaction, with Americans strongly saying that hate will not be tolerated.

As Heyer’s mother prepares to address the crowd, an image of the victim’s words “If you are not outraged, you are not paying attention” crosses the screen.

We also remember the families of Lt. H. Jay Cullen III and Trooper Pilot Berke M.M. Bates of the Virginia State Police who lost their lives monitoring events from the sky.

Moving forward, for those of us who believe, the strength is in prayer and looking to God.

Graduations take toll on local football teams

By Andrew Spencer for the Hanover Local It has long been said that the only certain things in life are death and taxes. High school coaches would like to add a third certainty: graduating seniors.

Every year, while some football teams are lucky enough to reload with key portions of their rosters intact, most high school football teams are forced to rebuild after losing players to graduation.

This year is no different.

Nearly every school in the area is facing a monumental rebuild, each with many new faces eager to prove their worth under the glare of the Friday night lights.

They will have to prove their worth under a major realignment of the Virginia High School League’s realignment system.

While the overall six-classification system implemented for all sports in 2013 remains intact – though they use different terminology, being classes rather than groups – there are now four regions within each class, and no conferences. Teams making the playoffs advance directly to regional play.

Atlee and Lee-Davis will compete head-to-head in Class 5, Region B. Because of reduced enrollment, Patrick Henry, drops down a level and will join

challenge.”

Still, he remains optimistic, especially on the defensive side of things.

“Our offense is expected to remain consistent with previous teams we’ve had at Lee-Davis,” Turnage said. “We expect our defense to be a strength of our team since we have a great nucleus of returning starters.”

With at least four starters gunning for Division I college offers, don’t be surprised to see this year’s Confederates make some noise in Class 5, Region B. Senior defensive end Jalen Hargrove is one prospect who earned all-conference and allregion honors in 2016. All-conference safety Josh Rice also returns for Lee-Davis, as do all three of last year’s starting linebacker corps.

Lee-Davis hopes to continue its streak of wins against long-time rival Patrick Henry in what will be the 59th edition of the Tomato Bowl. After losing to the Patriots in a stunning upset in 2014, the Confederates have won the last two contests Nick Liberante for The Local to take an edge in the series.

returns for his second year as head coach of the Raiders with a stable of potential breakout players under his direction.

They will be lead by sophomore quarterback Tyler Warren, who returns to lead the offense.

“Tyler is as good as they come,” Gray said of his signal caller. “He has a chance to be a very special player at a variety of positions.”

In addition to Warren at quarterback, junior running back Isaac Abel will be a player to watch.

“Isaac is extremely strong and explosive,” Gray said. “He is poised to have a really good year.”

The Raiders finished 2016 on a sweet-and-sour note, winning their final home game over Armstrong, then losing their final game of the season in a Region 5A North playoff at Stone Bridge. That final loss gave the Raiders a losing 5-6 record last year, but it could also serve as motivation to come out this year and exceed the expectations of pundits.

Gray said his offense, “has the potential to be very explosive,” but he couched that potential in the need for the offensive line to develop and come together during preseason.

Defensively, Gray conceded that the Raiders have some holes, but he’s still excited about its prospects.

“We have some young guys who have been working hard, are hungry, and are excited to fill the spots where we need

help,” Gray said.

With a potent one-two punch on offense, Atlee could be on the verge of clearing the hurdle to a winning season.

Whether it does or not will depend on how well the defense answers its call.

Hanover The Hawks are looking to improve on last year’s 3-8 record. Nobody is more aware of the need for improvement than head coach Derek Stoudt, but he’s also painfully aware that it is an uphill battle as he fields a team that features six returning starters on the offensive side of the ball and only five on defense.

“Our youth up front and the lack of depth is a major concern for us this season,” Stoudt said. “But we have the ability to grind it out on offense and we’re looking to be very stingy especially against the run on defense.”

On offense, Hanover will be asking a lot from its young offensive line, where only tight end Michael Wilcox and left tackle Henry Waite return as starters.

“They’re big but they’re also young,” Stoudt said of the two linemen.

On defense, look for big plays from senior linebacker Parker Chenault, a verbal commit to the University of Virginia, and junior tackle Justyn Haynesworth, who also looks to be a Division 1 prospect. These young men will have to step up – and step up quickly – in order for the see FOOTBALL, pg. 9

Lee-Davis’ Austin Brown (43).

Carter Mallory and Miles Krishnamurthy rounded out the Patriots’ top four with a 45

Hanover’s top four were remarkably consistent as a team.

Jack Proctor and Robert Patina tied at 44 strokes apiece, while Christian Dyer and Andrew Wilkinson tied at 45 strokes apiece.

In addition to Brown’s 43, the Confederates were led by David Fleischer’s 48, Tanner Mahoney’s 49, and Landon Watkins’ 53.

Lee-Davis head coach Tyler Johnson expects the Confederate team – loaded with multi-sport athletes – will get improve as they get more matches under their collective belts. The Queenfield match was their first scheduled competition of the season after only four days of practice the previous week.

It was also the Patriots’ first match of the season – though not their first scheduled match.

An earlier match planned for the previous week was canceled because of scheduling conflicts.

Rathbone (35) and Ailor (37) led Patrick Henry to victory over Varina (255) and Henrico (no score) as the Patriots hosted their first match at Hanover Country Club Thursday.

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MANQUIN – Patrick Henry’s Jessica Rathbone could hit pretty well in her freshman season on the Patriots’ golf team last year. She gained distance off the tee over the past year, and that extra distance parlayed itself into a five-stroke victory for herself and a 15-stroke victory for the Patriots in a trimatch against Hanover and host Lee-Davis at Queenfield Golf Club on Aug. 14.

Patrick Henry ran away with the day, shooting a collective 163. Hanover was second with a score of 178 and Lee-Davis third with 193.

Rathbone and teammate Rory Ailor – both of whom have had a busy off-season on the golf course – dominated the field. Rathbone shot a 3under-par 33 on Queenfield’s front nine, beating Ailor by five strokes to claim medalist honors on the day.

Patrick Henry head coach Dave Hudak said Rathbone is hitting about 40 yards longer off the tee than last year. Given a typically accurate driver and

Whether or not this year turns out to be successful in terms of wins and losses for the Hawks will depend on how quickly the young players can grow into their roles.

“We have improved every aspect of our offense,” Stoudt said, “and we are going to be very aggressive on defense.”

Patrick Henry The Patriots are also looking to replace a majority of last year’s starters, with seven offensive and eight defensive players lost to graduation from the 2016 squad that finished the season 8-4. Adding to the turnover is new coach Keith Braxton.

Former head coach Bryan Davis will be a tough act to follow. Davis departed Patrick Henry after going 18-15 in three seasons, including two appearances in the VHSL Group 5A Playoffs. Davis left Patriot fans with two big memories: a road upset of heavily favored LeeDavis the 2014 Tomato Bowl

and Patrick Henry’s first playoff victory in 15 years with a 53-28 win over Briar Woods in the first round of the Region 5A North playoffs last year.

Braxton, a Patriot alum, will try to build some new Patrick Henry memories of his own, and he’ll have experienced offensive with which to do it.

Senior signal caller Hunter Hart has the leadership ability and experience to keep the offense on track, especially with Wake Forest commit Kaleb Smith, another senior, back at wide receiver and junior Za’Quari Tillman at running back.
