Rail status: least objectionable but not preferred By Jim Ridolphi for The Hanover Local ASHLAND — The silence was almost deafening when Department of Public and Rail Transportation director Jennifer Mitchell asked for comments following a short meeting of its Community Advisory Committee on Monday, Sept. 11, at Randolph-Macon College. This was the final in a series of meetings that tasked the committee with identifying alternative routes for a proposed high speed rail project from Washington, D.C., to Richmond. One committee member described the final session as anti-climactic as only two members of the community panel spoke when it came time for recommendations. With a scheduled Commonwealth Transportation Board meeting less than a week
away, the final meeting of the CAC was billed as the final step in the local decision-making process, but the final step left some scratching their heads. At the last meeting, committee members eliminated some of the studied alternatives, but did not reach final conclusions. The paths of the proposed Ashland section of the DC2RVA project have splintered a community, pitting town residents against those who own property in the path of a proposed western bypass option. “I know this has been an emotional, difficult topic for a lot of people because we do realize how much it affects all of the communities,” Mitchell said. “We are here, most importantly, to keep moving forward and talking about the least objectionable alternatives that are still out there regarding the eastern bypass and western bypass
Hanover schools fully accredited By Jim Ridolphi for The Hanover Local ASHLAND — A final review of student achievement data for 2016-2017 reveals that Hanover County Public Schools students are performing above state averages in all areas. Director of Accreditation and Accountability Nancy Disharoon delivered an annual update to school board members last week. Earlier figures revealed that all Hanover schools are accredited, but delving deeper in the numbers shows some encouraging results.
“The students of Hanover County are achieving at high levels on all SOL (Standards of Learning) tests administered in the spring of 2017,” Disharoon said. The director indicated the above average numbers are not the only indicator of successful instruction in Hanover schools. “It is important to note that scores and numbers aren’t everything. In our classrooms, we measure success in multiple ways,” Disharoon said. “Behind every number there’s a story.” see HCPS, pg. 16
alternatives and to talk about what our next steps will be.” At the conclusion of the August meeting, the committee reached a consensus on the least objectionable options for above grade and below ground through town options. A plan to construct a three-track trench through the center of Ashland and partially bury the passing freight and passenger trains was deemed the least destructive of the options. Major Jim Foley told his fellow board members that the least objectionable above ground option was a 3-2-3 plan that does not disturb the current placement of tracks through Ashland. Mitchell asked board members to supply a preferred option regarding the bypasses. “What we’d like to do is carry that forward to the CTB so that they will have that information as they are looking at making a recommendation on
a locally preferred alternative,” Mitchell said. She specifically asked Hanover County representatives if they had arrived at a preferred bypass option. County administrator and committee member Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. spoke first. “We have considered the remaining eastern bypass options and do not feel — given the high cost and impacts to the community — that any of these are viable,” Harris said. After meeting with DRPT officials, Harris said his delegation was faced with the hard decision of selecting one of four possible western bypass routes. He noted that the panel studied detailed maps that identified affected properties. “Our review of these maps indicates that the number of develsee RAIL, pg. 7
Hanover citizens stop to remember 9-11 By Jim Ridolphi for The Hanover Local HANOVER — Sixteen years later, the memories of September 11, 2001, are still fresh in the minds of many Americans, and, last week, a group of Hanover County citizens gathered to reflect and remember the terrible tragedies of that day, and the heroes who emerged in those desperate hours.

R-MC names new executive director of The Edge ASHLAND — J. Dontrese Brown has been named the new executive director of Randolph-Macon College’s The Edge program. R-MC President Robert R. Lindgren said The Edge integrates R-MC’s liberal arts education with an intentional focus on the skills and opportunities students need to gain a competitive advantage in their careers or when applying for graduate school. As executive director of The Edge, Brown will lead R-MC’s efforts to provide a four-year, comprehensive personalized career program for students. The Edge also incorporates the college’s pre-professional programs and Bassett Internship program and builds on its engaged alumni and business leader network. “We are thrilled to welcome Dontrese to the Randolph-Macon College community,” said Lindgren. “Our students will reap the benefits of his creative expertise and his leadership skills, and his forward-thinking will complement our already robust Edge program.” Grant Azdell, vice president for Student Affairs and dean of students, said that Brown will be a vital addition to the campus community. “The Edge program is an integral part of the R-MC experience, and Dontrese’s
J. DONTRESE BROWN enthusiasm and acumen will strengthen this important student resource,” said Azdell. “Our faculty and curriculum challenge students; our Edge program turns skills into action. With an extraordinary education and the help of faculty advisors, coaches, and alumni, preparation for success begins the moment our students set foot on campus. And the Yellow Jacket connection continues long after graduation: Alumni serve as mentors, and faculty continue to encourage and inspire. These partnerships last a lifetime.”
Brown, whose position at R-MC began on Sept. 18, said, “I’m excited to join the Randolph-Macon family. I look forward to helping nurture and inspire students to become creative thinkers, effective transformational leaders and great members of society. The Edge is a tremendous program—one that helps students find their purpose, create lasting networks, and reach their personal and career potential.” Brown earned his B.F.A. in graphic design from Georgetown College and his M.A. in graphic design from Morehead State University. Throughout his career, Brown has led various teams from a creative and development perspective, and he is passionate about brand design, creative strategy and teamwork. He previously served as director of Brand Creative for Capital One Bank; and as creative director for Victorinox Swiss Army, Inc. Prior to that, Brown served as creative director at SCHAWK!, a global brand production company; and as art director for TJX Companies. From 1999-2005, Brown served as a professor of graphic design at Georgetown College. Brown also serves as chair of the Cristo Rey Richmond High School project.

APD warns of scammers copying phone number (Editor’s note: The following was submitted by Officer Chip Watts, Public Information & Community Policing, Ashland Police Department.) ASHLAND — An Ashland resident reported on Monday, Sept. 11, of receiving a phone call from a scammer attempting to obtain personal information. During the call, the resident’s Caller ID displayed the Ashland Police Department’s main telephone number of 804-798-1227. These calls are NOT from the Ashland Police Department and we do not call anyone asking for information in this manner. This is an instance of “spoofing”; someone copying the Ashland Police Department’s tele-
phone number to appear in a recipient’s Caller ID to hide the caller’s actual telephone number and make it appear the call is originating from a trusted source. APD reminds residents to be vigilant against these and other phone scams and not give out any personal information or make payment arrangements over the phone or internet unless you have verified the other party is legitimate. Residents with questions or concerns about phone scams can contact the Ashland Police Department at 804-412-0600.

nation “to remember the tragic loss of life and the bravery of first responders and ordinary citizens alike.” She pointed to a positive result of the national tragedy, the sense of unity that prevailed after the attacks. “I want us all to recommit ourselves to the sense of unity and togetherness experienced in the days and weeks that followed,” Kelly-Wiecek said. That spirit was alive and well when recent disaster hit the country and Kelly-Wiecek said that neighbor helping neighbor attitude makes America special. “Recent events in Houston and Florida have shown us glimmers again of those days — people helping their neighbors in the face of disaster, strangers risking their lives to rescue others from flooded homes, a crush of donations in food, supplies and hard dollars to ease the plight of the afflicted,” Kelly-Wiecek said. “This, my friends, is America – this should be our focus.” Chief Jethro Piland of Hanover Fire/EMS and Lt.

County Sheriff ’s Office also delivered tributes to the first responders. Woodmen of the World sponsor the event each year, and support various county agencies throughout the year. WOW area manager Wayne Anderson left flags for area fire
stations and bundles of stuffed animals for sheriff’s deputies to distribute to children in times of crisis. Director of Parks and Recreation Greg Sager acknowledged the contributions of Woodmen and thanked them for their continued support. “Woodmen of the World has been a valuable partner for a number of years. They are an organization where patriotism is not just another word. They live it in their ideals and their values and how they operate,” Sager said. He also introduced a group of students from All Aboard Child Development Center who serenaded the group with a patriotic song. Mechanicsville District Supervisor Canova Peterson said Kelly-Wiecek’s comments were spot-on regarding the significance of 9-11. “The way we responded after 9-11 is the way we need to be responding today and I think she captured that in her speech.” The Hanover County Sheriff’s Office and Fire/EMS Honor Guard presented the colors, and board vice chair Sean Davis led the Pledge of Allegiance.

OPINION | The Local Views From the managing editor
Enon United Methodist Church’s compassion shines By Melody Kinser Managing Editor
L
ast week, we published an article about two 70-year-old Georgetown Road men whose home is literally crumbling down around them. Enon United Methodist Church (UMC) has stepped up and started a fundraising project to raise $80,000, as well as a new septic system, for the purchase of a double wide modular home. Junior and Melray Alexander do not have an indoor toilet, in addition to suffering with a very leaky roof and holes in the floor of their house. The images
shown to the right give you an idea of the living conditions. Hard to believe, isn’t it? Sadly, we often get caught up in our day-to-day lives and lose sight of the needs of our neighbors. God bless the kind folks at Enon UMC for taking on this worthwhile and compassionate cause. In a recent phone call with Bob Gibson of Enon UMC, the goal is to have the men in the double wide next month. The Alexanders have always worked. They cut grass, sell firewood, do repairs and odd jobs. However, they have not been able to financially repair or replace
their home. Enon UMC is now looking to the community to help in making the double wide home for Junior and Melray a reality. Any amount is welcome. Please donate. These are neighbors. To help Enon UMC collect enough donations to buy the double wide and install a septic system, send a check to: Alexander Home Fund, Enon UMC, P.O. Box 68, Studley VA 23162. A GoFundMe page — Alexander Home Fund is online accepting donations too. Let’s help the Enon UMC get that home as soon as possible.
Irma’s arrival stirred memories of Labor Day Hurricane of 1935 By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist When a wave of low pressure first appeared off the Cape Verde coast of Africa more than two weeks ago, no one paid it much notice. But less than three days later, the storm had a name, and forecasters in the United States began to pay closer attention to a hurricane named Irma. But, for most of us, it was still just an item in the news. Even for the many who have relatives and friends
in Florida, it didn’t seem that serious, and we’ve learned to live with the threat of an occasional Atlantic storm that reaches hurricane strength. Days after it formed, Irma began a path of destruction through the Caribbean, and set its sights on the Florida Keys. National news outlets began full-time coverage of the storm, and photos of long lines of automobiles exiting the narrow strip of bridges and islands alerted the less novice of the impending doom. I didn’t need the reaffirmation of

what a hurricane can do when it hits a small group of islands that some call paradise, and many more now call home. Decades earlier, I’d stood at a small memorial on Upper Matecumbe Key and read the tributes to the more than 400 people who died in the Labor Day Hurricane of 1935. A cement crypt located near the monument contains the cremated remains of more than 200 of its victims, a somber reminder of the fury that lurks only yards away from the memorial.
Weather forecasts didn’t name storms in those days, but the Labor Day hurricane didn’t need one to be remembered as the strongest hurricane to ever hit the Florida Keys, with recorded winds of 185 mph and storm surges more than 20 feet. Islamorada was a different place in the mid-1930s, sparsely populated and undeveloped. The islands were dotted with WPA work camps manned by World War I veterans who found work building the Overseas Highway and other infrastructure on the Keys.

Warnings of the impending storm came too late to evacuate the workers, and many were forced to face the wind and rain in temporary shelters or tents. A train was sent from Miami to rescue the veterans, but the wind from the storm blew it off the tracks near Matacumbe Key. While people still remember the great Galveston storm as the most devastating regarding the loss of human life, the Labor Day storm of 1935 claimed almost half of the then population of the middle keys and destroyed what we now know as Islamorada. It’s still unknown the true extent of the damage Irma caused to the Florida Keys, but its path up the western coast of Florida is well documented and cleanup will be long and arduous for Floridians hit by the storm. That possibility hit close to home as the storm headed for Tampa late last week.

oped, residential properties could range from 24 to 36 and two of those options directly affect a church.” Harris said he favored a plan called AWB #1 because it offered the least disruption and required the least acquisition of residences. “We feel the western bypass option of AWB1 is the overall least objectionable alternative, although far from a good option.” Harris said that option featured some routing options that could allow developers to lessen the impact on residential properties. He also indicated the route should be changed so that it did not claim a daycare center located on the edge of the town. “We’re not here tonight to suggest any other corridors other than AWB1, but we think we’ve identified ways to made improvements to that,” Harris said. Another member of the Hanover delegation on the CAC, Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley, offered a slightly different take on the selection. “There’s no single answer that satisfies everyone’s concerns,” Stanley said as he detailed the proposed route of AWB1. He described a seven-mile stretch of new track located west of Ashland that would impact about 28 residents and cause temporary construction delays for numerous others. Stanley pointed out that number of seizures exceeds the total amount of properties taken for the entire 123-mile project; by a factor of seven. While Stanley said he could relate to the negative aspects of the disruptive nature of the trench alternative, he stopped short of endorsing the through town option during his remarks. After the meeting, Stanley made his position more clear.
“I’m going to look out for the western portion,” he said. “We were asked to pick one route. All of the routes were bad and some took as many as 36 houses.” Stanley said the CTB will have to sort out a final decision, but made clear he did not endorse a western bypass option. “I don’t see how the CTB or anybody else without some bias can vote for those houses being taken. I just can’t see taking 28 houses,” Stanley said. He said he understood the disruptive nature of a major construction project like the trench project in Ashland. “The town will have disruption and we understand that’s going to be tough,” Stanley said. “But the businesses will still be open and the sidewalks will be open.” Mitchell took the comments of those two committee members as a recommendation. “Does anyone else object to moving forward with the alternative western bypass #1 as the least objectionable with this group?” Her inquiry was met with silence. DRPT will issue a one-page summary of the committee’s selections and “We understand that none of these constitute an actual endorsement by this body of any single alternative. We’ll be sure to make that very clear,” Mitchell said. Ashland Town Manager Josh Farrar said the recommendations represent the least objectionable options. “This is the next stop in the process,” Farrar said. “I think we’ve come to a point where we have the three least objectionable alternatives, none of them are really preferred.” Even though the trend option moves forward as the least objectionable through town, below ground option, it has its own set of challenges. “We heard loud and clear from the community that there are a lot of issues with the trench.
We have a lot of work to do before anyone could consider supporting that,” Farrar said. Foley said the process got “as far as it could get together,” but was candid regarding the two options that made the cut for through town alternatives. “That’s not really a choice because 3-2-3 is not acceptable to CSX,” Foley said. “The trench is not a viable option. The construction would have permanent lasting impacts on our community — long-term generational impacts.” Foley said he would consult with his council members and a position page would be forthcoming, outlining the town’s position. The CTB will hold a public hearing at Patrick Henry High School. It is tentatively scheduled for Wednesday, Oct. 11. A final decision by the CTB is due in December and will be forwarded to the Federal Railroad Administration for consideration, a process that could take up to 15 months.
‘Repository of Missing Places’ on display at The Flippo Gallery through Oct. 13 ASHLAND – The exhibition of Richard Crozier’s “Repository of Missing Places” continues in the Flippo Gallery of RandolphMacon College. Crozier’s paintings of “Lost & Kept Charlottesville” will be on display through Friday, Oct. 13. His paintings are described as “palpable, vital, and ennobling images of modest bungalows, tenement houses, residential storefronts, social halls, and local businesses; a nearly comprehensive documentation of a town’s neighborhoods from early days to the present. The paintings themselves span a period of about 30 years, a critical growth timeframe in town to city evolution. They were made on-site, capturing the

Sikkar gives Patriots late boost over Wildcats By Arthur Utley For the Times-Dispatch ASHLAND – The Deep Run and Patrick Henry football teams used to meet each season when both were in the Colonial District or playing a Colonial schedule after realignment. They didn’t play the past two years, when Patrick Henry was reassigned and began playing a Capital District schedule. The Wildcats are back on Patrick Henry’s schedule as a replacement for Mills Godwin, and the two teams engaged in a showdown of hard-nosed rushing attacks Friday night at Patrick Henry. The Patriots won 30-27. They have won their first three games for first-year coach Keith Braxton and are 3-0 at this point in the season for the second year in a row. The teams combined to rush for 582 yards, 249 for Deep Run and 233 for Patrick Henry. Wildcats quarterback Aidan Wheeler carried 21 times for 113 yards (75 in the first quarter) and four touchdowns. He had help from bullish Chris Konstantinidis, who rushed 14 times for 74 yards. Running back Samandre Williams, who also takes snaps in the wildcat formation alongside quarterback Alex Sikkar, rushed for 112 yards on 19 carries and scored a touchdown for the Patriots.

yards), and completed two 2point conversion passes. The Patriots “just keep fighting. This one was a challenge because Deep Run came ready to play. I knew they would. They are a disciplined bunch, a tough bunch, and they also are fighters, so it was a good test for our guys (to play the whole game),” Patrick Henry coach Keith Braxton said. “They need to be commended for continuing to fight. You know, Alex played a really good game. He’s getting better every week. Samandre also played a really good game. Defensively, we’ve got some things to clean up, I think. We’ll be better next week. It wasn’t pretty, but we did enough.” Deep Run, playing quickly, scored on its first possession. Wheeler finished off a 77-yard drive with a 2-yard run. The extra point attempt failed. Patrick Henry took the lead on Sikkar’s 14-yard touchdown pass to Oxendine before Wheeler scored again to put Deep Run back in front. Patrick Henry moved in front with the help of a safety, and Williams’ 22-yard touchdown run, but Wheeler scored his third touchdown to give the Wildcats a 20-18 lead at halftime. Sikkar’s 60-yard burst and Nick Liberante for The Local his 9-yard touchdown pass to Patrick Henry’s Terrance Oxendine (3) and Jamel Jackson celebrate after Oxendine scored in the Patriots’ 30-27 win Friday.

Raider girls dominate Confederates in sweep By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Atlee’s girls’ volleyball team is off to a 5-0 start in Virginia High School League play, but head coach Curtis Carpenter sees plenty of room for improvement. Carpenter said inconsistency is a problem for the Raiders, even in Tuesday night’s 25-17, 25-11, 25-19 sweep of host LeeDavis. “We have our issues with inconsistencies, which include ball control or lack thereof,” Carpenter said. “Offensively, we could be pretty strong, but ball control is a big key of being an offensive team. Without ball control – or consistent ball control – offense goes out the window.” The Raider offense did struggle at times, particularly in the third game, but for the most part had little difficulty picking apart the Confederates’ defense. Kyra Walden and Brianna Brown led the Atlee offense, finishing with eight and seven kills, respectively. Both players each claimed an ace, two blocks

came with 4:38 remaining. The Wildcats had two more possessions but couldn’t get past the Patriots’ defense. “I rely on my brothers and as long as we’re straight and get everything done, it is mission accomplished,” said Terry Henderson, who logged three tackles for losses. “We came off other games a little slow. Now we’re starting to get it together.” Williams said the Patriots started out slow on offense as well.
and two digs. Lauren O’Reilly had three kills, two aces and seven digs. Part of the Lee-Davis troubles, however, were some experiments in staffing. “We put in the wrong lineup the first two games,” said Lee-Davis first-year head coach Kristy Porterfield. “We kind of put our kids in a tailspin. … We ended up putting in a lineup that the kids just weren’t familiar with.” She was pleased with what they accomplished under the circumstances. “I’m really proud of what they did in that situation,” Porterfield said. “I owe the kids dinner for that – I have to cook them dinner.” Hanover 3, Patrick Henry 0 ASHLAND – The Hawks, led by Megan Kratzer’s 21 kills and Leslie Anne Currie’s five aces, swept the Patriots 25-21, 28-26, 25-21 Tuesday night. Patrick Henry was led by Alexis McNair with eight kills and Calli Clevenger with five kills and five blocks. Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechloNick Liberante for The Local cal.com.

Yellow Jacket lineup gels in win over Hornets By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor ASHLAND – Early in the second set of the evening, it looked like visiting Shenandoah might hold its own against Randolph-Macon in both teams’ Old Dominion Athletic Conference women’s volleyball opener. Shenandoah led, 9-7. But the Yellow Jackets, who had won the first set 25-15, went on an 18-3 run to claim a 25-12 win, and they repeated the score in the third set to earn a sweep of the Hornets at Crenshaw Gymnasium. The Yellow Jackets were led by senior setter Erin Quinn with 19 assists and 13 digs, senior outside hitter Rebecca McGilvery with nine kills and 11 digs and sophomore outside hitter Miranda Hall with nine kills. Randolph-Macon head coach Bill Rogers said the sweep showed what the Yellow Jackets could do if they don’t sabotage themselves. “If we don’t do it to ourselves, we can do things like that,” Rogers said. “We’ve done it already this year. We’ve had lots of runs like that, but then we seemed to be doing it to ourselves a couple of times there and there to stop our runs, either missed serves or

Raiders stumble HENRICO – The winless Raiders started strong after Jaylon Taylor scored in the first quarter, but a controversial hit late in the second quarter led to an injury to quarterback Tyler Warren and swung momentum in favor of Douglas Freeman as the Rebels won 28-7.

need to know what they can do, so we’ve been playing with a lot of different lineups and schemes trying to find what that talent is, where it’s good and where it’s not. “If the starters falter a little bit, I have confidence now that there is someone who can go in and play. That’s a good thing.” The Yellow Jackets lost few starters from a team that reached the NCAA Division III regionals last year. The returning players are eager for a chance to make a deeper postseason run. “We have almost the same team as last year, and so we know exactly what we need to do and how to do it,” McGilvery said. “It’s just showing it on game day, basically.” Randolph-Macon’s only three losses came during the Mary Washington Invitational on Sept. 8-9. McGilvery said the team drew a positive lesson from the experience. “I think it shows us that we’re not … bulletproof,” McGilvery said. “I think it’s really good to set our egos down and remind [ourselves] that we have to push through and we have to be the ones to win the game versus letting other teams win it or lose it.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

attending two-year programs. Dual enrollment and CTE (Career Technical Education) curricula also are enjoying increased pass and participation rates, and the county continues to boast one of the state’s lowest dropout rates and highest graduation rates. “Overall, the majority of our students are choosing rigor to support their future plans,” Disharoon said. “We are graduating students who have real and viable plans for their future. Students in “Hanover are receiving an excellent education and are achieving at high levels as measured by different performance data.” Superintendent Michael Gill noted the figures are encouraging, but added the job of educating Hanover children doesn’t end with the passing grades. “We all recognize there’s always
work to be done,” Gill said. “We have five major subject areas and we came up or held the same in everything except one.” Student scores in math fell by a percentage point but still exceeded state passing averages, and fifth grade math scores were down by several points. Disharoon explained that students begin to encounter multi-step questions on the fifth grade math SOL test, and are required to extract information before they perform the actual math. That could account for the dip. In other news, Gill provided an update on the first day of school; an opening he said went well. “We had a great opening week of school,” Gill said. The superintendent said that: Middle school students attended more than 17,000 classes.
High school teachers taught more than 1,100 classes. More than 6,500 lunches were served. Just short of 250 buses completed 9,000 miles. “That was just day one and we repeat that 179 more times,” Gill said. “The countless smiles and hugs, the high fives that you saw really tell more of the story than the statistics do.” Christie Church of the American Heart Association recognized Hanover County schools for their achievements in community service and fundraising during the past year. Twelve Hanover schools participated in the Heart Wellness program and raised more than $78,000 for the organization, earning the county a ranking of second among 27 counties that participated.

Hanover students exceeded state passing rates in English, science, history, math and reading, leading the state in the latter category. The success of Hanover students also is measured by the number of students taking AP (Advanced Placement) classes, enrolled in IB (International Baccalaureate) programs or taking classes at the Advanced College Academy. Those figures were all on the rise with the exception of IB enrollment that was slightly down from past years. Disharoon said she expects those numbers to return to their usual level within the next year. The number of Hanover students attending four-year colleges also is slightly down due to an increase in the number of students
HURRICANE Continued from pg. 6
epic proportion headed for the flood-prone area was heightened. On Friday, I called and tried to convince her to move northward and come to Richmond to ride out the storm, but she felt the solid construction and hurricane-proof windows on her home would provide a safe refuge from the storm. Despite my best efforts, she decided to stay. Next morning, I learned the whole family was on the move, evacuated and on the way to an unknown destination preferably far away from the attacking storm. They ended up sheltering in Myrtle Beach until the storm passed Tampa and caused less damage that originally anticipated. We won’t know the true cost of Irma for days or weeks, and some communities will take years to rebuild and reclaim their portion of the Florida dream. For me, watching day after day of bumper-tobumper traffic exiting the state to avoid Hurricane Irma is a somber reminder that paradise is never guaranteed and living near a tropical oasis has a price. Thousands of Floridians are feeling that pinch as they begin to file back into the state, my sister included. The next few days of brilliant sunshine and cool ocean breezes will make the memories of Irma fade, but the reality of what could be is forever planted in a sense of security that is only as solid as the weather forecast. They’ll face the cleanup with what has been described as “Florida spirit” accompanied with a cautious sense of optimism. The evacuated returnees know there’s one out there somewhere in the future, bigger and stronger, just waiting to aim its fury on the Sunshine State.
