Supervisors approve volunteers’ policy change

By Jim Ridolphi for The Hanover Local HANOVER – Hanover Fire-EMS Chief Jethro Piland asked the Hanover County Board of Supervisors last week to approve an ordinance change that clarifies and adds consistency to a policy regarding county fire and rescue volunteers.

In what chair Angela Kelly-Wiecek, Chickahominy District, described as “more clarification than change”, the proposal outlines a consistent

grievance procedure for the more than 300 volunteers who staff and support emergency services.

The process will remain basically the same but will end with Piland’s final decision. Paid staff that file grievances are allowed to pursue their grievances through county government.

Piland said the change would address three areas of the county’s current code regarding fire and rescue, including revising the review policy for grieved volunteers. see POLICY, pg. 3

POLICY Continued from pg. 1

The chief said policy review discussions began nine months ago and discussions with volunteers, administration and the Chief ’s Staff were involved in the process. He described the changes as more clerical and noted the proposals did not alter and diminish opportunities for volunteers.

“I do not want to inhibit the opportunity for any volunteer to come to the county administration or you all if they disagree with my decision,” Piland said.

“I understand the gravity of this but, in my opinion, we are just cleaning up some procedures.”

The change in final authority regarding volunteer grievances received the most attention from supervisors, some who had received calls from volunteers regarding the changes.

Vice chair Sean Davis, Henry District, supported the measure, but said there’s no question regarding the proposal’s effect on current procedure.

“The grievance process would stop with the chief, which is a difference from the paid staff and volunteer firefighters,” Davis said. “What it means is exactly what it says in writing.”

“What we’re doing here is cleaning up procedure,” Piland told the supervisors.

Currently, the final step in the volunteer process is with the county administrator.

“The logic behind this I am the authority for the pol-

icy manual and it’s important when there are grievances or reviews in this particular case to have an opportunity to hear those cases,” Piland said.

There was some confusion regarding a volunteer’s right to appeal a decision to the county administrator.

“If they can do that, why are we making a change from them being able to that as it is stated in the current county ordinance?” supervisor Canova Peterson, Mechanicsville District, asked.

Piland said there had been only one appeal to the county administrator in the past 13 years.

“I think they have the opportunity to come to me as any citizen would have the ability to come to me,” County Administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. said. “The grievance procedure would be outlined in the fire policy and the grievance procedure would be concluded at the chief ’s level.”

District Fire Chief Phillip Hutchinson from the Ashland station is the chairman of the Chief’s Staff, an advisory board comprised of squad leaders, station commanders and others.

“As chairman, I would like you to know that the volunteer leaders from the Chief ’s Staff support these recommended changes,” Hutchinson said as he recommended approval of Piland’s request.

County Medical Director Dr. Bob Powell also asked board members to approve the revisions, some of them clarifying his and his board’s role in addressing patient care issues.

“What we are striving to do

is achieve a unified standard of medical care across the jurisdiction of Hanover County,” Powell said. “We set those standards based on best practices and state standards.”

However, one volunteer did express reservations regarding the policy change. Station 14 volunteer Tina Curry said no formal notice was given to her group, and the communication process was flawed.

“The people at our squad didn’t even know anything about this until we had a meeting last week,” she said. “There was no formal notice given to the volunteers.”

Curry also objected to a final determination by the chief regarding volunteer grievances. “That limits the process. He’s well educated and knows a lot, but he’s not infallible.” She also noted the difference in grievance policies regarding career employees versus volunteers.

Peterson also questioned the communication process and said he had received calls from numbers volunteers regarding the changes. “What really bothers me is that some of the concerns I heard were obviously a misunderstanding of what’s here, which tells me that communication was not what it should have been,” Peterson said, noting he found no negative impact with the proposed policy changes.

“I realize that communication has not been as successful as I would want it to be,” Piland responded.

Peterson suggested deferring the matter for 30 days to

allow for more communication with volunteers on the changes.

But other supervisors said they were prepared to vote on the changes as scheduled.

“I fall on the side most often of trusting our staff when we can. In this case, I’m behind the chief now,” said Ashland supervisor Faye Prichard.

Cold Harbor supervisor Scott Wyatt endorsed any attempt to establish parody between volunteer and career employee policy, and noted the important role volunteers play in the county’s Fire/EMS system. “All citizens should understand that we have over 300 volunteers that help complement our career staff at every firehouse in the county, so it saves our taxpayers lots of money,” Wyatt said.

Kelly-Wiecek also acknowledged the service and dedication that volunteers provide, but noted that working under two systems is not always easy.

“We walk a very fine line in terms of balancing and working together in this integrated system of volunteers and paid staff,” she said.

The board approved the proposed changes by a unanimous vote.

“We supply wreath forms, wire, clippers, decorations (all natural), to include several types of pine cones, holly berries, beauty berry, winterberry, juniper berry. Greenery: fir, cedar, holly, boxwood, pine, magnolia, etc.,” Carolyn said.

“We provide pre-made bows or ribbon to make your own,” she added. (The bows alone cost $12 to $20 at the big chains). “We have candles and holiday decorations for festive table centerpieces.”

Twenty-five to 30 coaches (garden club experts and decorating experts) are availabe to help with creations.

Tables are set up with wire, clippers, gloves, wreath forms, etc., with a gardening “expert” at each table to teach and mentor, including a special section for boxwood wreaths

“If you just want to enjoy the event and not create,” Carolyn said, “we have decorations for low prices, made by experts from area garden clubs. For an additional donation, folks can buy gorgeous fully decorated wreaths, swags, tabletoppers created by our design experts with all freshly cut greens.”

Carolyn and Jerry encourage guests to visit the 1905 barn, heated with a wood stove, where they serve hot chocolate, tea, coffee, cider and plates and plates full of homemade goodies. In the spirit of “green,” they use their special Deck The Halls mugs!

According to Carolyn, the entrance donation is less than the typical garden center or retail outlet cost of one wreath or one centerpiece or one any fresh holiday decoration.

foundation for a small twostory one-room building, built in 1854. The outbuildings – the original smokehouse, work shed, bunk house, and food and dairy storage shed --- are still being used as well as the barn, which dates to 1905.

The barn was renovated in 2002 and turned into Jerry’s art studio, preserving the original heart pine loft flooring and as much of the original structure as possible. “We try to share the blessings of this beautiful farm for charitable causes,” Carolyn said.

The event is held in the backyard, a huge open space bordered by the outbuildings on one side and tall pines on the other.

BETTY JEAN EDWARDS Betty Jean Edwards, age 54, entered eternal rest on Friday, November 17, 2017. She was born on November 26, 1962, in Fredericksburg, the daughter of Mary J. Garnett and the late James E. Gaines. Betty confessed Christ at an early age and received her spiritual guidance at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Supply. She graduated from King George High School and attended Virginia Commonwealth University EDWARDS and Strayer University.

Betty held several positions in the health care field. She was employed by Virginia Premier as a Contract Specialist for many years. She also worked as a Network Educator at the Optima Health. On April 15, 1989, Betty was joined in

Patrice and said, “Don’t folks in the South use this stuff for Christmas decorations?” And that’s how it began.

Patrice was a volunteer for a nonprofit that provided services for women and children in crisis. They decided to hold a small fundraiser for their Girl Scout troop and Moms for that charity. They postponed the trimming til December, added greenery from Carolyn’s holly, cedar trees, hemlocks, pine trees, magnolia, got donations of ribbon and wreath forms from Vogue Flowers, got help from Ashwood Gardens and invited the families of Patrice’s Girl Scout Troop. Thirty-five people came, made wreaths and swags, made cash donations to a women and children’s shelter.

Since its start, Deck The Halls! has seen its attendance climb: 35, 2002; 70, 2003; 120, 2004; 125, 2005; no event, 2006; 180, 2007; 225, 2008; 250, 2009;

Handicap, elderly and guest dropoff is at Pine Grove Farm, 12438 Elmont, Ashland. All other parking is at Henry Clay Elementary School on Hanover Street in Ashland. The Holiday Trolley will drive folks ½-mile to the event at the farm.

The event has grown too large for the Peart farm to supply the greenery. “We asked a variety of historic estates in Hanover if we could trim their greenery. All said yes,” Carolyn said. “Our suppliers are Hickory Hill. Winterberry,

see OBITUARIES, pg. 11

and Maplewood. Claybrooke Farms supplies our Canaan and Frasier Fir. I love this: It’s the past helping to shape a better future.”

Sponsors are: Claybroooke Farms, ACE Hardware of Ashland, Maine Wreath Company, Ashwood Gardens, The Flower Market/Vogue Flowers, The Garden Club of Ashland, Green Visions Consulting, and Starbucks of Ashland.

PLUMBING, HEATING & COOLING

Ashland parade welcomes holiday season ASHLAND -- Downtown streets in Ashland were again lined with people and families on Sunday, Nov. 19, as the town was full swing into its holiday spirit for the 48th annual Ashland/Hanover Olde Time Holiday Parade.

The Olde Time Holiday Parade began on the corner of Snead Street and Thompson Street and winded along Thompson Street, making its way through both England and Henry streets until finally coming to a stop on Archie Cannon Drive near John Gandy Elementary School. It is intended for everyone to enjoy and has served as a holiday celebratory event for the families and residents of both the Town of Ashland and Hanover County.

Ashland Main Street Association urged everyone to “Stay until the end to watch Santa on the fire truck.�

The parade is the largest community service event of the year for sponsor Kiwanis Club of Ashland.

Traditionally, over 100 different units participate in the parade. This year, exactly 100

units made up the marchers and floats as they made their way through the streets of downtown Ashland.

Train Town Cross Fit (TTCF), a local fitness business within Ashland’s corporate limits, had its own “sweet fitness float� among the other 99 units in the parade, bearing gifts for spectators.

There were several new additions to the 2017 Olde Time Parade, including Cub Scout Pack 704 from Hamilton, Girl Scouts James River Unit and Girl Scouts Laurel Brook Unit. Cub Scout packs are traditional participants. Returning this year were members of Pack 706 from Montpelier.

Kiwanians assembled about 10 a.m. that morning in Randolph-Macon College’ Estes Dining Hall for a breakfast, which was followed with members receiving their individual parade assignments.

Event coordinators were Kiwanians Ranny Robertson and John Myers. Robertson said he was pleased with the turnout, and noted the weather was especially pleasant. “I thought the turnout was good – perhaps even more

than we’ve seen in the past,�

Robertson said. He has been involved in coordinating the parade for 20 years. “This is the 48th parade and Kiwanis has done it for 20 years or so,� he continued.

Like many public events in local communities, nonprofit organizations help make them possible. “The way this thing works is the Ashland Kiwanis Club orchestrates the parade for the Town of Ashland; it’s really the town’s parade, but they don’t have the people to pull it together. We do it as a [community] service project,�

Robertson said.

Robertson has been maintaining a database over the 20 years that he’s been coordinating the event, keeping records of all that have participated for the past two decades. He updates and uses that list, so those units can be reinvited to future parades each year.

Jim Foster, a professor at R-MC, posted on Facebook that he “Had fun watching the Ashland Parade.�

Lindy Pond, another parade-goer, said, “Great day for a parade, and the kids looked great!�

Fire companies ready to bring Santa to neighborhoods HANOVER – Hanover Fire-EMS Battalion Chief Gregory R. Martin, who also serves as public information officer, has released the schedule of Santa Runs for the various departments and also explained there will be changes to this year’s routes.

“Due to challenges in the past, we are making modifications to the routes that we usually travel. These modifications are: Focusing our efforts towards our target audience of elementary school age children.

Improving customer service and Santa visibility by using pre-established elementary school bus routes.

“In the past, we have attempted to travel all the roads, including the culde-sacs, in Station 3, 7, 10, 12, 13 and 14’s districts. As the county has grown, this has been a significant challenge to maintain,” Martin said.

“To continue our focus on the elementary age children, we will follow the 2017-2018 Hanover County Elementary School bus routes. This will allow for safer and continuous travel throughout the neighborhoods. Our biggest concern will always remain the public’s safety,” he said.

In an effort to better communicate, Martin said each company will be assigned a separate Twitter account,

which can be used to update Santa’s progress and estimated arrival time.

The Twitter accounts are: Station 1 – Hanoverfe_elf1; Station 3 – Hanoverfe_ elf3; Station 7 – Hanoverfe_elf7; Station 10 – Hanoverfe_elf10; and Station 12 – Hanoverfe_elf12.

Hanover County Public Schools routes can be found at: http://hanover. k12.va.us/busroutes/busroutes.htm.

“Please remember, you will be able to see Santa anywhere along these routes in your neighborhood or subdivision, not only at the usual bus stops. Santa will visit many of our Santa breakfasts throughout the county, so make your plans now,” Martin added.

He also reminded residents that Santa will be riding one of the fire trucks during the Mechanicsville RotaryRuritan Christmas Parade at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 3.

They are as follows: Chickahominy Volunteer Fire Company Station 10 6 to 9 p.m.

Monday, Dec. 4 – Ashcreek; Tuesday, Dec. 5 – Milestone and Honey Meadows; Wednesday, Dec. 6 – Fox Head, Sliding Hill Road, Somerset, Castlewood, Atlee Ridge, and Kingswood Court; Thursday, Dec. 7 – Chickahominy Oaks, Madison Springs, Forest Lake Hills, Green Ridge, Hickory

From the managing editor

What’s that sound? It’s Santa en route

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor The sounds of Christmas will once again fill the air in and around the Village of Mechanicsville on Sunday.

Santa Claus, as well as bands, floats, officials, and church and civic groups, will fill the streets at 2 p.m. for the Mechanicsville Rotary-Ruritan Christmas Parade.

This is one of our favorite times of the year.

Of course, we celebrate the birth of Jesus, which is why we observe the holiday (don’t forget that part).

But we also are witness to the delight and glee in the faces of children of all ages as they await a visit from the Jolly Old Elf from the North Pole.

Thanks to the Mechanicsville Rotary Club and the Mechanicsville Ruritan Club, we’ll enjoy the sights and sounds of the season.

Spectators will fill the streets in the Village as we welcome the most wonderful time of the year.

As usual, Richmond Suburban News will be handling the judging responsibilities from the viewing area on the parking lot of the Mechanicsville Drug Store. Thank you, Tommy Thompson, for always being so accommodating.)

This year, we’ll be live streaming the parade at www.facebook.com/mechlocal. How exciting is that?!

Turner, Noe pace R-MC in taming Panthers

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor ASHLAND – Ferrum was not going to go down easy.

While Randolph-Macon’s men went on a seven-minute drought in the second period of their game against the visiting Panthers, Ferrum chipped away at what had been a 16-point lead with 12:21 left in the game to just a 4-point lead left with 5:17 left.

But Jon Nowell sank two free throws at the 4:56 mark to break the dry spell and the Yellow Jackets started pulling away again for a 69-56 victory Sunday afternoon at Crenshaw Gymnasium.

The second-half swoon nearly marred 18-point performances by both RandolphMacon guard Korey Turner and forward Daniel Noe. “We were stuck there forever,” Randolph-Macon head coach Josh Merkel said of the seven-minutes stuck at 52 points. “We’re good in transition. Part of the problem was that they were scoring, so we were not getting that reboundand-run. We’re not getting the easy one.

“They’re doing everything they can to fight and earn respect, so they ramped up their defense. We played into their hands some, not with turnovers, but with rushed shots or not with the best shot we could have

taken. Credit to their defense in that time.”

Turner said RandolphMacon could have done better defensively in that stretch.

“We just had some miscommunication on finding the

shooters,” he said. “They had a couple of good guys who could really knock down some shots.

We just have to do a better job of staying focused throughout the whole game, communicating with each other and finding

the guys who can really hurt us.”

One of those guys was Ferrum guard/forward Nick Helton, who connected on 5-of9 3-point attempts to pace the Panthers with 17 points. Guard D’Andre Mullen made 3-of-3

shots from 3-point range, finishing with 16 points. Guard R.J. Turner scored 10 points for Ferrum.

Turner said the holiday break contributed to the wrinkles in Randolph-Macon’s per-

formance.

“Whenever guys aren’t in the gym or when we have a little break, the first thing that goes is focus,” he said. “Over the next couple of days we’re definitely going to get in the gym and get our focus down – especially defensively. Defensively, the details and stuff like that are the first thing to go. We’ve got to continue to pay attention to details and just continue to get better.”

That is not to say the Yellow Jackets weren’t capable of focused play. Even during the period when they could not score, they frequently forced Ferrum to go deep into the shot clock before the Panthers could put the ball up.

“We can definitely compete if we just continue to get better and fight for the whole possessee TAME, pg. 8

Yellow Jackets find Apprentices no pushovers done it before.”

Apprentice was led by four players in double figures: Ylexzis Traeger with 16 points, Quanisha Bruce with 14, Tyne Innocent with 13 and Latrice Washington with 12.

Randolph-Macon head women’s basketball coach Carroll LaHaye expects her team will improve in time.

“I love this team so much,” she said. “I know that they are trying their hardest. They’re young. They’re inexperienced. Really Kelly and Kelsey [Wisner] are the only ones that have the minutes of experience, and they still make mistakes – I mean, Kelly’s only a sophomore.

“But they’re playing hard and I know they’re not making those mistakes on purpose. It just challenges me more to give them what they need to continue to get better.”

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor ASHLAND – The students at the Apprentice School work.

The purpose of the school, based in Newport News and operated by Newport News Shipbuilding, is to train workers to build things like aircraft carriers and submarines. Athletic opponents take the apprentices lightly at their own expense.

Randolph-Macon’s women’s basketball team found that out the hard way, as the Builders pushed the Yellow Jackets to the brink in Randolph-Macon’s 72-71 win on Nov. 21.

Forward Kelly Williams led Randolph-Macon with a double-double performance: 23 points and 22 rebounds. While she had a double-double by halftime, she said Apprentice was giving the Yellow Jackets hard time – albeit with the Yellow Jackets’ help.

“They were making it tough,” she said. “We were making a lot of mistakes, too. I know I did. Everybody was making mistakes. Our mistakes allowed them to come back.”

Among the mistakes were less-than-ideal free throw shooting – Randolph-Macon went 14-of-26 from the line – and turnovers. The Yellow Jackets had 26 turnovers with three team members, Williams

sion,” Turner said. “If we can do that for 25 seconds, then we can definitely do that 30. We just [have to] continue to lock in and, like I said, stay focused until the end of the shot clock, that will definitely help us down the road.”

Nowell’s first free throw – the first of a 1-and-1 – was pivotal

“Jon payed a huge role on the glass for us tonight,” Turner said. “He definitely got a lot of key rebounds for us, got a lot of second-chance points, and that’s what we needed – especially when our guys aren’t hitting shots.

“That was a momentumkiller for [Ferrum], so that got

us more confidence to get back in the game, to get a bigger lead.”

Merkel agreed.

“I was really proud of Jon in the way he played on the glass,” he said. “His effort changed the game, and those free throws were huge. He does it all the time in practice, but it was great to see him convert that [in] a game.”

Please do not approach the fire truck.

While the runs are underway, firefighters may, at any time, have to leave for an emergency call. Santa and his elves must move swiftly so he can make it to all of the boys and girls .Since 1890, the Ashland fire company has remained a volunteer organization, so donations are always accepted and appreciated.

Firefighters and EMS crews from Ashland will be making a special appearance in downtown Ashland from 7 to 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 16, visiting the various businesses.
