MRMC at 20: ‘taking care of neighbors’ Strawberry Faire ‘BARKing Lot’ offers adoptable dogs By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

ECHANICSVILLE – “We’re taking care of our neighbors.” That’s how Mark Gordon, chief executive officer of Bon Secours Memorial Regional Medical Center, describes the hospital’s role as they prepare to celebrate 20 years of serving the community. Community is a word Gordon uses often, because he is quick to praise the support shown for the medical center. He also talks about his appreciation for the EMS providers and first responders, as well as “our nurses, our medical staff and our community.” “We are celebrating our 20th anniversary this year, and in two short decades Memorial Regional is one of the top 50 hospitals in the nation. We take with deep gratitude and sincerity the

ASHLAND – Mark Maphis of Fin & Feather Pet Center of Ashland wants to see more pets adopted into forever homes. He said he believes that there is an untapped opportunity to increase these numbers through the Ashland Strawberry Faire. Although animal rescue groups have participated at the Faire in the past, they are Photo courtesy of Memorial Regional Medical Center

HANOVER -- Hanover County’s latest economic figures reflect a continuing and upward trending growth pattern. The latest figures confirm that trend, and Finance Director Jacob

Sumner’s latest financial update at a recent Hanover County Board of Supervisors meeting provided a sense of continuing optimism regarding the local economy. Sumner reported updated figures for the third quarter of the current fiscal year, a period that ended

March 31 and included reports on the General Fund, Public Utilities and the School Operating Fund. Revenues for the General Fund continue to show a positive trend with this year’s third quarter figures approximately $5 million see FIGURES, pg. 5

‘A Taste of Hanover’ to benefit Arc of Hanover Staff Report news@mechlocal.com

SHLAND -- The 14th Annual “A Taste of Hanover” to benefit The Arc of Hanover, a 501(c)(3) organization, will be held from 5 to 8 p.m. today (Wednesday, May 16) at Bass Pro Shops Outdoor World at 11550 Lakeridge Pkwy. in Ashland. The Arc of Hanover’s mis-

sion is to improve the lives of people with disabilities. Attendees from Hanover and surrounding counties come to sample a wide range of food and libations from the area’s finest restaurants, caterers, and chefs and to win silent auction

and raffle prizes. Tricia Young, of Arc of Hanover, said, “Our goal for 2018 is to raise $20,000 for individuals with disabilities. The funds raised will improve the lives of children and adults with disabilities and their families

by providing services and support, including camp and educational scholarships, respite care and recreational activities, adaptive equipment for increased communication and mobility, and financial assistance to live independently.” Tickets are $25 for adults, $10 for those 13 and under, and free for kids under 5.

outcomes.” Memorial Regional has been named to Healthgrades’ America’s 50 Best Hospitals’ Award for five years (20142018) in a row. The hospital has been the recipient of the Healthgrades’ America’s 50 Best Hospitals’ Award for seven years (20122018) in a row. Additionally, MRMC received Healthgrades’ Distinguished Hospital Award for Clinical Excellence for 12 years (2007-2018) in a row. “The most important accomplishment of the team and myself is the continuation of high quality care,” Gordon added. “That is a role that we take with high regard and deep seriousness.” He views MRMC as “a referral center to the Northern Neck and all points east in particular. We honor our relationship with all the communities east to serve for primary and higher levels of care.” Rappahannock General Hospital in Kilmarnock is part of the Bon Secours Health System. “We are a destination point,” Gordon continued, “the first point to receive patients who come in from the east.” He lauded the EMS and first responders in Hanover County, calling them “phenomenal. We love our relationship with them; we thank

them for their hard work and contributions.” Memorial Regional also plays a major role in attracting residents and businesses. While education is a factor, strong and good healthcare stand out when seeking opportunities. “Do you have a hospital and how good is it?” Gordon said is often asked. “That’s a strong economic driver. “And then you look at ‘Do you have a respectful faith community?’ Is this a place that has respect for faith?” With all of those intertwined, Gordon said, those are “markers to build a community, because those are essential elements of our dayto-day life.” “Bon Secours is the only faith-based system in the commonwealth and that is an important place for us to hold,” he said. He also said that MRMC operates with a philosophy of diversity and inclusion. “That’s the kind of conversation that’s the inference that good health care means good health, but it also means good help.” Gordon offered thanks to his predecessors, John Simpson and Michael Robinson, for their roles in leading the hospital as CEO.

priorities is locating a College of Nursing on the campus. “We look forward to forthcoming plans to locate the College of Nursing on the campus; we look forward to working with the community and looking for the support of the College of Nursing.” He also realizes the “significant population” in Hanover County, noting the aging population in the Richmondarea continues to grow overall. That brings him back to the need for nurses, which he said “is high; the demand is high. We look forward to the number of graduates out of our nursing school, and to retain those graduates.” Gordon extends an invitation to local residents to take advantage of the College of Nursing. He said he has a “hope that we can clearly work to get as many people locally who seek a vocation in nursing to be a part of that honorable profession.” When asked about the successes enjoyed by MRMC, he said, “You do very few things alone, so I would say that the team, meaning, most importantly, the frontline nurses and technician, along with our medical staff. The greatest achievement is that we are recognized for high quality

From beginning to end, Ellen's life was filled with music. She sang in church choirs from the age of 4, and for the last 12 years taught private piano lessons to dozens of bright and beloved students in her home. For 30 years she served as a director of children, youth, adult and handbell choirs at Duncan Memorial United Methodist in Ashland, St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Richmond, First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Lynchburg and other congregations.

munity concerts and programs. Ellen wrote and staged many of her own original children's musical productions at schools and congregations including "Eugene the Evergreen," "Too Fat for the Chimney" and "The Colors of Christmas." Ellen loved nature and was deeply moved when she experienced God’s presence in the beauty of creation. She devoted her free time in the last few years discovering Virginia's Northern Neck region with Glenn, restoring a 1930s river cottage, learning new artistic crafts, taking long walks and bike rides, and inviting friends for weekends of casual birding, thrift store shopping, and watching the sun and moon light the water. Ellen will be deeply missed by many. A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. on Saturday May 19, 2018, at the Duncan Memorial United Methodist Church at 201 Henry Street in Ashland, with a reception for family and friends to follow.

Born in Philadelphia, she had retired after 35 years of service with the Virginia Department of Alcohol Beverage Control in Richmond. She was an avid NASCAR fan and, for years, served as a scorekeeper for several of the racing teams. Elaine is survived by her son, Dave Dillon, and his wife, Barbara;

six grandchildren, Danny, Tori, Jackie, Michael, Michelle and Melissa; a great-grandchild, Ayden; and several nieces and nephews. A graveside service will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, May 18, 2018, in Signal Hill Memorial Park at Hanover Courthouse.

The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, May 17, 2018, at the Bowling Green Chapel of Storke Funeral Home. Online condolences may be made to storkefuneralhome.com.

CHARLES HENRY NAPIER Charles Henry Napier, 92, passed away peacefully on May 4, 2018. He was preceded in death by his daughter, Angie Fontaine. Here to carry on his legacy are his daughter, Jacqueline Napier Lucas; his son, Glenn Napier (Susan); five grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren. A memorial service was held at 2 p.m. on Friday, May 11, 2018, at Nelsen Funeral Home in Ashland.

ROSE MARIE TATE Rose Marie Tate, 71, of Beaverdam, passed away on May 8, 2018. She was the wife of James F. Tate. Marie also is survived by one sister, Joyce Epperly of Roanoke. Marie was preceded in death by her children, Tracy Clark and Dean Clark. Raised as a city girl, she married a farm boy in 1987 and fell in love with the rural lifestyle and their little farm. Marie was fearless and handled all the animals, even the biggest bulls, as she did chores when Jim was out of town at work. She was a tireless worker and always had a project of some sort going on. If she liked you, you were golden. Marie hated funerals and did not want to be the cause of one, so, to honor her wishes, she will have a simple cremation. If you wish to honor her memory, make a donation to the local animal rescue of your choice. Marie loved all of our rescue animals and her dogs miss her greatly.

ahead of last year’s figures for the same period. “Based on the current revenues and future collection estimates, total year revenues are expected to be about $235.9 million or approximately $1million above the appropriated budget,” Summer told the supervisors last week. Property tax revenues are expected to increase by $7 million for the year, still about $250,000 short of budget projections. “Other local taxes are projected to exceed the budget by about 1.5 million,” Sumner said. Expenditures for the year also are under budget. Final year projections indicate about $277 million for those budgeted items, about $6 million less than the appropriation. The total projected General Fund operating balance is $7 million, monies that will be used for reinvestment in the FY2019 county and school budgets. The Public Utilities portion of the equation reflected lower revenues, including charges for services that amount to more than $1 million. That shortfall is largely due to the Bear Island closing and budget adjustments have been approved to address this issue in the

FY2019 budget. School expenditures also are projected to be below budget, and Sumner said the system is on track to return about $2.6 million to the county at the end of the fiscal year. In other matters, Director of Public Works Mike Flagg provided an update on Atlee Station Road improvements. “To date, we have worked on Atlee Station Road in incremental components, and that’s not unlike what we do on many of our roads,” Flagg said. Flagg said one of the drawbacks of that methodology is the difficulty in predicting per mile actual costs, and the constantly rising price of construction projects. Shifting entrances along Atlee Station Road or widening current corridors are components of the project, according to Flagg. Flagg also addressed other improvements associated with the project, including a signal at Honey Meadows and an access road from Chickahominy Middle School. During a recent board meeting, a citizen expressed opposition to the use of proffer funds to construct the school access road. Flagg said that access road project was the result of citizen and school involvement and

addresses safety concerns and the impact school traffic has on Atlee Station Road. He added that the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) required that the access road be approved before they would approve the signal at Honey Meadows and Atlee Station Roads. Since revenue sharing is no longer available to fund local road projects, the county turned to proffers from Honey Meadows to fund the access road. “It’s our view that this particular access road is no different from us realigning the entrances or when a project is widened – it’s an appropriate nexus to Atlee Station Road widening,” Flagg said. “We feel like it was appropriate to use proffer funds for that portion of the road.” Bids for that project are completed and a contract awarded with a completion date of late summer anticipated. Completion of the signal is less clear. Flagg pointed to difficulties in obtaining signal poles as a delaying factor in the project. “There’s as much as a sixmonth lead time in getting the poles from the manufacturer,” Flagg said, indicating that could delay the goal of having

From the managing editor

Did you thank your teacher last week? By Melody Kinser Managing Editor PTA Teacher Appreciation Week was observed May 7-11, with an emphasis placed on acknowledging those dedicated individuals who go above and beyond for their students. The national PTA website said, “Teachers change the lives of millions of children every day, and their work and impact extend far beyond the boundaries of the classroom.” I’m amazed by the devotion and perseverance of those in the education field for their commitment to providing a strong base for the future. Two teachers influenced me even though neither had any impact on my career. Their guidance and support made the difference. One was my fifth grade teacher, while the other taught Spanish.

Their compassion with their students was evident in how they approached the subjects they taught. I had the good fortune in the late 1990s or early 2000s to encounter my Spanish teacher at the post office in my hometown. It was an unforgettable moment because I had the opportunity to tell her what her encouragement had done, and led to a path no one would have expected, especially me. Three years in her Spanish class were enlightening in terms of how a room filled with young minds absorbed her methods. She was the epitome of a teacher. A small woman, she was soft-spoken but held the attention of every student. She truly led by example. She kept up with my career and that moment at the post office sadly proved to be the last time I would see her. She was moving to

another state to be with family in her retirement. She had urged me to study languages at Marshall University. I often wonder what my life would have been like if I had taken her advice. That’s just the kind of teacher she was -- always thinking of what she thought would be best for the student in an adult world. Hanover County Public Schools is blessed with many similar teachers and administrators. While last week was designated in appreciation of them, you should remember every day the sacrifices they make to ensure a better future for every child in our county. We have an acclaimed school division for a reason -- and it does start in the classroom. To all teachers -- public, private and home -- thank you!

Experience makes difference in Atlee win By McKenzie Terrell Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – In a nine-inning battle of defense, No. 9 Atlee edged No. 8 Patrick Henry 3-2 on Friday. With the extra innings rule in play, putting Atlee’s Alyssa Bernadini on second, shortstop Jordan Durbin hit a walk-off single to send her home. Atlee pitcher Rachel Davis threw 14 strikeouts in a complete-game effort. Patrick Henry’s chance to score in the ninth was foiled by some recalled knowledge. Radiers third baseman Victoria Bernadini snagged an airborne bunt hit by Patrick Henry’s Hailey Thomas. Victoria then tossed the ball to Durbin at third for a double play that ended the inning. Victoria said she was ready for the Patriots (9-3) to bunt because it was the same strategy Patrick Henry used to beat Atlee earlier this season. “I knew they were going to bunt at some point,” Victoria said. “I was just trying to take (their chance) away, any kind of bunt I just wanted to make sure that girl didn’t score.” Victoria’s outs gave the Raiders (10-6) the chance to Joel Klein for The Local plate the winning run. Atlee Patrick Henry’s Charlotte Mitchell pitched six strong innings in a 3-2, nine-inning loss to Atlee Friday night. coach Tom McIntyre said the reason the Raiders prevailed is “This game we were finally time to do so,” he said. McIntyre said, while he doesn’t “It takes what could be a because they were able to put able to find the way to push a The final baserunner came love the rule, it is helpful in 20-inning game and shortens runners on base. runner in when it was finally automatically in the ninth. games such as Friday’s. it,” he said.

As the end of the regular season nears, Atlee prepares for its final three games with a similar strategy as the one used Friday night. McIntyre said his team will continue to try to put runners on base and push them in for runs. Lee-Davis 6, Hanover 5 MECHANICSVILLE – LeeDavis’ Jesse Gentry’s walk-off single in the bottom of the seventh drove in Sydney Guess to cap a 3-run seventh that led the Confederates to a 6-5 comefrom-behind win over the visiting Hawks Friday night. The Confederates took an early lead thanks to a threerun first inning, but Hanover responded with two runs in the second to close the gap to 3-2. Then the fireworks began. Savannah Thorne opened the Hanover seventh with a walk. She advanced to second one out later on a groundout by Jessica Russell. Thorne advanced to third on a single by Leslie Currie, and Lauren Hughes drove them in with a home run to center field to put the Hawks ahead 5-3. The Confederates were down, but not done, and they got their first baserunner, Lauren Taylor, on with one out in the seventh on a Hanover error. Hayli Wagner singled and moved to third on a double by see EXPERIENCE, pg. 8

Randolph-Macon gets NCAA baseball berth were there and who would like to go a bit further this year. That experience won’t make it any easier for them to do so, however. “Everybody we play now is good,” Hedrick said. “What I’m hoping is that our experience in the [ODAC] and the teams that we play in the league, will prepare us for success at the regional level because our league is extremely strong.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor Randolph-Macon stumbled to take an early out from the Old Dominion Athletic Conference baseball tournament, but the Yellow Jackets – who went into the tournament ranked No. 1 in the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA)/Collegiate Baseball Poll and the Massey Ratings – still have some baseball to play. The Yellow Jackets dropped a 9-7 decision to Shenandoah in the first round of the ODAC tournament – held at City Stadium in Lynchburg – Friday and were eliminated by Roanoke 6-5 Saturday. But they still earned an atlarge bid to the NCAA Division III baseball tournament and will be the top seed in the South Regional in Holly Springs, North Carolina. They will open against LaGrange Thursday at 11 a.m. at Ting Park, home of the Coastal Plain League’s Holly Springs Salamanders. “We knew going into the [ODAC] tournament – I don’t know if that was the reason why we played the way we did or if we just got beat by better teams – that our body of work throughout the course of the year had put us in a strong position at the regional level,” said Randolph-Macon head coach Ray Hedrick. “It hasn’t been common for us to be in that position. We typically go to the ODAC tournament with the idea that we have to win it to get to a regional.” Hedrick felt the Yellow Jackets could have managed their ODAC appearance better – though, if it is any consolation – Shenandoah went on to win the ODAC tournament title as well as the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. The two teams are not the only ODAC members in the

R-MC falls in region softball final By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor Randolph-Macon’s softball team was on a roll when rain suspended its game against Rowan in the NCAA Division III tournament regional final game at Rowan University in Glassboro, New Jersey. The interruption may have hurt the Yellow Jackets when play resumed Monday. They dropped a 7-1 decision to Rowan, forcing a decisive second game later that

afternoon. By the time it was over, the Profs had eliminated Randolph-Macon 2-1 to advance to a super-regional later this week. The Yellow Jackets had breezed through the winner’s bracket with a 1-0 victory over Staten Island in the first round of the Glassboro Regional Friday. They then beat Penn State-Berks 3-0 Saturday. Lightning interrupted the region final against Rowan in the fourth inning Sunday. The Yellow Jackets began

at bat in the bottom of the fourth inning, but it was the Profs who struck first, erupting for four runs in the fifth inning and adding three more in the seventh. Randolph-Macon struck first with a run in the first inning of the deciding game, but could muster little offense afterward. Rowan tied the game in the second and got the game-winner in the sixth. Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

Hedrick said. The 2018 NCAA tournament appearance will be the sixth for the Yellow Jackets overall and the fifth with Hedrick as head coach. Their

last NCAA appearance was in 2016 when the team – after winning the first regional game in program history – advanced regional championship game in Washington, Pennsylvania.

Sydney Guess that scored Taylor to bring the Confederates within a run, 5-4. Wagner tied the game on a groundout by Logan Hawker. That brought up Gentry, who launched a line drive to right field to score Guess and end the game. Weather interrupts baseball MECHANICSVILLE — Surprise storms arrived in the county Friday night, forcing an early halt to Patrick Henry’s baseball game at Atlee. The Patriots led 4-3 with

a runner at first in the top of the seventh when lightning suspended play, then a downpour made the field unsuitable to continue. The Patriots scored two runs in both the first and third innings, while the Raiders scored once in the first, then twice in the fourth. Gabe Lassiter pitched six innings for Patrick Henry, striking out nine Raiders, while Timmy Matthews scored twice.
