Candidates share goals and reasons for running

By Jim Ridolphi for Ashland-Hanover Local ASHLAND -- Eight Hanover citizens gathered at Randolph-Macon College last week for a polite, but focused discussion of issues on the collective minds of county residents.

All are seeking positions on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors and are candidates in the four contested races in the upcoming Nov. 2 election.

ChamberRVA sponsored the candidates’ forum and Randolph-Macon hosted the event at Birdsong Hall.

Angela Kelly-Wiecek, Faye Pritchard and Canova Peterson are unopposed in their bids for re-elec-

tion to the board.

The group fielded a variety of questions from R-MC professor Richard Meagher that covered the gambit of pressing issues.

Crystal Robens said she is running for office because it’s the right time in her life for such a pursuit. “I chose to run now because the time is right for me,” explaining that her daughter and son have graduated from high school.

Robens is a process improvement and efficiency expert for the federal government and has lived in Hanover all of her life.

Dr. Bosher: Persistence paid off in career

ooking back on his nearly four decades as one of the region’s top vascular surgeon, Dr. L. Paul Bosher admits that there is one particular quality that may have played a role in his success.

As his mother always told him, he was blessed with a rare kind of persistence when it came to solving tricky problems — he simply didn’t give up.

Bosher, who will retire this month as vascular surgeon with Vascular Surgical Associates of Richmond, has

vascular disease has always been “the bane of my existence,� Bosher said, and he counts being able to save a limb that a patient thought they would lose as among the most rewarding things he has been able to do in his career.

Bosher said he has always tried to do nothing less than his absolute best for every patient, and when things occasionally did go wrong he often carried the burden home with him.

Through it all, Bosher said, when he is taking care of patients, “I always asked myself ‘What would I do if this was my parent, or my sister?’ �

Dealing with the ups-anddowns was a challenge, Bosher said, but he never had a day that he regretted going into medicine.

spent years taking care of patients and earning a reputation as one of the region’s most talented vascular surgeons.

After graduating from North Carolina State University in 1970, Bosher went on to earn his medical degree from the Medical College of Virginia in 1974.

Next came further training at the University of Virginia, where he completed his surgical residency, and then fellowships in cardiopulmonary disease, cardiovascular research and peripheral vascular surgery.

While he has loved the practice of medicine — and the many patients whose lives he’s been able to impact along the way — there have certainly been challenges as well.

Today’s Halloween is a different kind of scary

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist Halloween has become one of the biggest holidays in America. Never mind the fact it’s an unrecognized celebration, and not the first business or service has decided to supply a day off for a holiday that involves ghouls and goblins.

But, one only has to drive down a darkened avenue to realize that Halloween has become big business and increasingly glorified, a far cry from the simple excitement the holiday provided in my childhood.

Not unlike our nation, Halloween is a conglomerate of differing customs and rituals, some darker than others, with origins across the globe. It seems as if everyone who arrived in America from who could count how many distant shores each brought a bit of Halloween with them. As time passed,

many of these international customs became instilled in our American Halloween tradition.

The holiday enjoys a sort of cultish popularity that appeals to almost everyone, and the single evening has the mystical power to bring out the spooky in all of us. It’s hard to imagine another celebration that invokes the sort of dedication that allows full grown human beings to dress like cats, or flying bats.

When I was a child, the holiday was exclusive, and parental involvment was limited to handing out candy while we were out collecting it.

Realizing it’s a different world today, I suppose it’s hard to imagine a gaggle of kids taking over poorly lit streets on a steady course from door to door.

For a kid, it was a magical dash from porch to porch often encountering people who acted familiar, but seemed unknown under a poorly con-

structed mask. Of course, there was always a danger of that broken bag that deposited the fruits of a night’s labor along the sidewalk, or the more unlikely occurrence of having your candy taken by an older trick or treater. But, more often than not, it was a night that went off without a hitch.

The holiday didn’t have the economic impact it has today. Candy sales for this year’s effort are counted in the billions and it is estimated that more than half of Americans will take part in some sort of All Hallow’s Eve celebration.

Yes, Halloween has come a long way since those simpler days when candy bars were only handed out by the richest of neighbors. It’s assumed a role as America’s second most celebrated holiday. That position is bolstered with indisputable evidence like almost $6 million is expected to be spent this year on pumpkins.

Patriots take control, overwhelm Hawks

By Daniel Fritz for Ashland-Hanover Local ASHLAND – Patrick Henry was in complete control Friday night as it cruised to a 42-0 victory over county rival Hanover.

For the Patriots, who lead by 32 after the first half, it was not as much about the final score, as it was about finding their groove at this point in the season.

“I did think we started off slow, but once we got it going, we played really well on both sides of the ball,” said Patrick Henry head coach Ken Wakefield. “The defense in particular looked really good.”

Although Wakefield may not have been overly impressed with his team’s opening drive, it still resulted in a 12-play sequence that produced the game’s first points – a 33-yard field goal by kicker William Dorsey.

The Patriot defense completely shut down the Hawk offense in the first half. Hanover was limited to 67 total yards, and compiled just two first downs in the opening 24 minutes.

Meanwhile, the Patrick Henry offense quickly found its stride on the second possession of the game. On just the second play of the drive, Patriot quarterback Alex Sikkar took the snap from the Patriot 47.

He worked his way towards the sideline, weaved in and out of

traffic and took the ball to the endzone.

“Once I got to the sideline, I saw a bunch of guys, so I cut back and saw a great block by one of my teammates” Sikkar said. “I cut behind the block and was able to take it all the way.”

Sikkar lead the Patriots with 136 yards on the ground. He

nearly matched his run total with an additional 135 yards passing in just under three quarters of action before giving way to backup Jordan Allen to finish the game.

Patrick Henry led 10-0 at the start of the second quarter.

That score wouldn’t last long.

A few plays into the quarter, Patriot running back Antonio

Ford took a handoff and stutterstepped his way through the hole opened by his offensive line. He then went untouched for a 32-yard score.

After a quick three-and-out by the Hawks, Sikkar wasted little time to find receiver Camden Byrd for a 30-yard gain, setting up the Patriots just outside the Hanover goal line.

Running back Tyler Newell finished the drive with a 3-yard touchdown run up the middle.

On their final drive of the half, the Patriots looked to tack on to their lead. After nearly being sacked, Sikkar managed to elude the Hawks’ pass rush and scrambled around see PATRIOTS, pg. 10

BUENA VISTA – Among the equipment on the Randolph-Macon football sideline prior to their first Old Dominion Athletic Conference encounter with Southern Virginia University, a hard hat sat on a bench sporting the number “132” on its back. The number represented the longevity of the Yellow Jacket program.

When a defender causes a turnover, he is rewarded with wearing the hat during a sideline celebration. After RandolphMacon’s 47-27 with over the Knights Saturday, the budget may call for a replacement. see DEFENSE, pg. 10

KW’s Hubbard claims second state golf title Patrick Henry’s Jessica Rathbone finishes in tie for third in Class 4 championships how big it was and kind of let all the emotions loose. That was sweet.”

King William head coach Jay Blanton was proud of the team’s fourth-place finish. Josh Ibanez finished 81, Arria Gross shot 89, and Kyla Blanton – and the rest of the Cavaliers – carded a 99 to leave the team nine strokes out of third place behind Radford (325), Virginia High (334) and Graham (335).

“It capped off a great season,” Jay Blanton said. “It’s kind of like the storybook season. Going into the season, I wouldn’t have imagined that it would have all kind of turned out the way it did. I knew that we were good, that we were much better than we had been in the past, but I wasn’t sure what the peak would be. I wasn’t sure how far we could take that talent.”

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor King William’s Taylor Hubbard had been in that place before – in contention for a Virginia High School League class 2 state championship.

And he knew that the course – Virginia Tech’s Pete Dye River Course in Blacksburg – was a difficult one, so he wasn’t overly rattled when he bogeyed the 17th and 18th holes to finish even par. But Staunton’s Mason Wyatt had to double-bogey 18 to send them, along with Glenvar’s Avery Alexander – who birdied 18 – into a three-way playoff for the state individual title.

Hubbard, who won the Class 2 championship as a sophomore, knew he was the best golfer out there. His approach shot to the green left him about 8 feet away for a birdie. He felt he had it.

And he did, sinking the birdie putt to close out a stellar high school golf career and lead the Cavaliers to a fourth-place finish overall. “[Wyatt] just happened to double-bogey the super difficult last hole. … I just knew that there was going to be some extra golf,” Hubbard said of learning of Wyatt’s misfortune.

“The other kid made a 30-foot putt to get into the playoff.”

Hubbard was not fazed.

“It was all good. I’m a firm believer that everything happens for a reason,” he said. “I knew that a birdie would win it. I hit a driver. I had about 100 yards left in and hit a little knockdown wedge to the hole location to about 8 feet. The putt was breaking from right to left down the hill and I knew that if I got it on line it was going to go in.”

Milestones fall at Milestat XC Invitational

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Milestones, personal and otherwise, fell like ripened apples at the Milestat.com XC Invitational Saturday at Pole Green Park.

Runners on the relatively flat Milestat course took advantage of the ideal conditions to set new personal and school records, but the biggest record that fell came in the boys varsity A race in which Virginia Episcopal’s Daniel O’Brien broke the 15-minute barrier with a winning 14:57 finish – 23 second ahead of Colgan’s Bryce Lentz.

A team from Chapel Hill, North Carolina, won both the boys and the girls varsity A team races, but local teams were well represented among the top tier of competitors. Deep Run, Glen Allen and Lee-Davis finished third through fifth, respectively, in the boys varsity A race.

Midlothian, Cosby and Maggie Walker likewise had top 10 finishes in the girls varsity A race.

“We ran fairly well,” said Lee-Davis head cross country coach Neil Mathews of his Confederates’ effort. “We’re really coming together at the right time, you know. We’re pretty pleased with that.”

The Lee-Davis boys were led

by Grayson Clark with a 16:29 finish. The best finisher from Hanover County was Atlee’s Ian Sellors, who came in 13th in 15:52. Patrick Henry’s top finisher was Luke Taylor, who finished in 16:15.

The Patrick Henry boys would have done better if not for a mishap at the start of the race: Patriot senior Carter Burcham fell down in a crowd

and ended up needing first aid. Rather than heading to the emergency room, he insisted on running, and won the junior varsity A race with a 16:47 finish. Had he had that time in the varsity A race, the Patriots would have finished 15th.

Still, it was a good day for the Patriots, especially on the girls side. Emily Morris finished 11th in 18:25, nearly a minute

better than the previous school record and 80 second better than her previous season best.

“I’ve just been waiting for her to get a good race in and it just happened to be that day,” said Patrick Henry head cross country coach Jeremy Dobrinski.

The top 10 boys finishers, aside from O’Brien and Lentz, were Colby Burcham

(Deep Run), Alistair Bushey (Blacksburg), Wesley Bond (Landstown), Alex Murphy (Grafton), Ben Hawley (Chapel Hill), Ethan Wilson (Christiansburg), Garrett Schultz (Cosby) and Nate Jennings (Colonial Heights).

The top 10 girls were Aniya Mosley (Ocean Lakes) who finished two seconds ahead of Maggie Walker’s Mary

R-MC women off to best start ever seven minutes in off a corner kick by Casey Kent. Haley Silva, with an assist from Erin Lee, added another Yellow Jacket goal in the 45th minute. In the 75th minute, Lee found Maier open near the far-right corner of the box. Maier lofted the ball up and over Wasp goalkeeper Natalie Capone’s hands.

“We’re always going to fight to win the ball in the air, be the first to the ball, connect on our passes – play to win,” Maier said.

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor ASHLAND – RandolphMacon junior midfielder McKenna Maier helped the Yellow Jacket women’s soccer team strike out for the best start in team history with a pair of goals in its 3-0 Old Dominion Athletic Conference victory over Emory & Henry Saturday.

The Yellow Jackets have opened the season with 16 straight wins, surpassing the former record of 13 games set in 1995.

“We’re off to a very strong start in soccer terms – in anybody’s terms, I would think.

Yes?” said Randolph-Macon women’s soccer head coach Jay Howell. “Fourteen and 0 is nice.

I will not deny that.”

The Yellow Jackets (14-0, 6-0 ODAC) used dominating speed and ball control to keep the Wasps (2-11-1, 0-7) off balance.

“I think the team came in very emotionally and physically prepared to compete,” Howell

DEFENSE Continued from pg. 7

Randolph-Macon forced five Southern Virginia turnovers, two of which became pick sixes in the first half, setting the pace for a game that again showed the Yellow Jacket defense as the stars of Team 132, with the rest of the team longing to equal that performance.

“I think we’re moving some things in the right direction,” said head coach Pedro Arruza.

“We’ve just got to get a couple of things figured out.”

The first is the kicking game.

Men dominate Wasps ASHLAND – RandolphMacon’s men acquitted themselves well in a 6-0 ODAC win over visiting Emory & Henry Saturday.

from Presley Egbers to Jordan Foster for the game’s first score, Chris Vidal, in his first game of the season due to injury, pushed the point after attempt wide right. Later, a 23-yard field goal try was missed.

The defense, however, was top notch. Following the first score, Calvin Whitehead perfectly jumped an inside route and intercepted a pass from Southern Virginia quarterback Davis Pinkston, racing 53 yards for a touchdown, and a tour with the hard hat.

After the teams traded touchdowns early in the second period, Pinkston felt pressure from the Yellow Jacket defensive line, launching an errant pass in the direction of linebacker Bryan Sullivan, who

returned the pick 27 yards for a score. Colin Brooker’s extra point upped the Yellow Jacket lead to 27-7. Shaheed Adeyola, who led Randolph-Macon in rushing with 91 yards, scored on a 5-yard run with 5:30 left in the half to cap a 47-yard drive made possible by a Stephen Richardson interception.

The 34-7 halftime lead allowed Arruza to use his second defensive unit for much of the second half.

Tre Frederick, who had a 27-yard touchdown run in the first half, did not play in the second half, finishing with 88 yards. Egbers finished 11-for-22 for 116 yards, 72 of them coming on a completion to tight end David Wallis, part of a touchdown drive to open the third

quarter capped by an 8-yard Wallis reception.

Jake Wernle and Alex Halkias were again missing from the offensive line because of injuries. Nevertheless, the Yellow Jackets rushed for 265 yards, and Arruza believes that portion of the team’s offensive woes has been solved.

“What we had out there today is the unit we’re going to go with. I told the guys unless somebody gets beat out, that’s the unit,” Arruza said.

The Yellow Jackets begin their bye week at a perfect time.

They’ll look to get healthy, return some players, and most importantly, turn in extra preparation for Washington and Lee and its triple-option offense when the Generals come to Day

the backfield, ultimately finding Zeik Williams for a 29-yard gain. A few plays later, Newell again found the end zone, blowing the game open to a 32-point margin going into the locker room at intermission.

The second half was played with a running clock. On the Patriots’ first drive of the half, Sikkar added another spectacular 60-yard touchdown scamper on his final carry of the night.

Hanover was led by quarterback Levi Huesman, whose rushing and passing accounted for three-fourths of the Hawks’ total yards.

Kicker William Dorsey closed out the scoring with a 43-yard field goal late in the fourth quarter.

Sikkar summarized his team’s performance.

“We continue to play well as a team, and build our leadership roles” Sikkar said. “That’s going to be crucial for us if we want to make a playoff run.”

District hardly needed an introduction. “I will say that I’m running on my record.

I’ve been here a few years,” Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley said.

“I’ve never voted for a tax increase and I’m pro-business,” he said before emphasizing the low crime rate and excellent schools.

Stanley reminded voters he made the motion to hire current county administrator Rhu Harris.

Democrat James Doran is hoping to defeat Michael Herzberg in a bid for the Cold Harbor District seat being vacated by outgoing supervisor Scott Wyatt who is running for the House of Delegates in the 97th District.

Doran, a Democrat and 15-year resident of Cold Harbor, is a budget planner and manager for the state and said those are valuable skills to have on the board. “I bring budget management and experience to the table,” he said.

Doran has a son and daughter in Hanover schools and is involved with events in their schools.

Herzberg is the Republican candidate seeking the Cold Harbor seat, and said his occupation also prepares him well for public service. “One good thing about heating and air conditioning is that you go through hard knocks. I have spent three decades listening to people and solving their problems,” he said in an opening statement.

Appointments are limited to 16 persons. All participants must complete and submit preliminary documents to Senior Connections in order for paperwork to be prepared prior to the event

“One of my biggest assets I will bring is the ability to work together and bring people together as a team to get things done for the people,” Herzberg said.

Daryl Chesley, an Independent running for the Henry District seat currently occupied by Sean Davis said he is running “to make sure that all ideas are heard.”

Chesley citied his experience in the U.S. Navy and at both state and national levels of small and large organizations and said he also is a process and efficiency expert.

Chesley also served as an administrator for Hanover County Public Schools.

Davis cited his seven years of experience on the board that includes two chairmanships and his commitment to public service.

With a record of strong support for public safety, Davis has been endorsed by Col. David R. Hines, sheriff of Hanover County, and the Hanover Professional Firefighters.

Davis is a strong supporter of Hanover schools and endorses smart growth for the county.

Sue Dibble, current Hanover County School Board member from the South Anna District, is running for the supervisor’s seat in that district. She said she “welcomes the opportunity to continue to serve South Anna.”

Dibble, a Republican and South Anna representative on the school board, is a small business owner and wife/ mother who said she treasures

the rural nature of the county.

“In the past six years, I’ve had a great and unique opportunity to meet and get to know our students and their families,” Dibble said.

Clara Scott is a former principal and said she’s running because “the county is running in the wrong direction” and “it’s time for me to give back to the community.”

Scott serves on the board of Hanover Habitat for Humanity and works with other civic organizations.

All candidates were allotted one-minute periods to answer the same questions that included education and schools, infrastructure, economic development, and affordable housing.

Regarding education and how Hanover schools can best prepare students for today’s workplace, the candidates expressed similar concerns, but there also were differences in approach.

Robens said she supports an elected school board and stressed the need for improved broadband internet service in the Beaverdam area.

She said schools need to prepare students through training programs as well as college preparatory disciplines.

“We need to prepare our students for the future whether they choose college or not,” Robens said.

Stanley noted the excellence of the county’s schools and said technical programs are offering options for those not interested in college educations.

If Mechanicsville location slots are full or another date is needed, similar sessions are being offered throughout the Greater Richmond

Doran also stressed the need for high speed internet access upgrades and said the failure to provide Hanover students with the latest technology is, in his mind, a “handicap for future generations.”

“We need to make sure all students have equal opportunity to access their school work, or do research for projects,” he said.

Herzberg said he views public safety on county campuses as a major focus of attention, and supports continued efforts to make salaries competitive.

Chesley, a former high school principal, said infrastructure is a mounting problem in Hanover’s aging campuses. “We can’t just continue to patch older buildings.”

He also committed to a system that fully supports the teachers.

Davis said he’s focused on making sure Hanover schools are preparing students for today’s work place, and cited expanding CTE (Career Technical Education) programs.

“It’s important that we identify the skill-sets needed for the future,” Davis said.

Dibble said, “Hanover schools are strong. We want to make sure every student is prepared for the life ahead of them.”

She identified the need for more counselors and enhanced safety measures in the system.

Scott acknowledged that the county has great schools, while noting “there’s always

room for improvement. We can do better.”

She stressed the need to address non-academic issues such as behavior, and cited a need to prepare our students for the next century and make them globally competitive so “every child is successful.”

When asked the most important or pressing issues facing the county within the next one to two years, candidates offered a variety of replies with many centered on schools.

In addition to supporting elected school boards, Robens said teachers’ salary compression is forcing some teachers to leave the system and seek positions in neighboring counties.

She noted that some teachers who have 10 to 15 years experience are making little more than new hires.

Stanley said keeping the growth and development equation balanced is a big challenge. The 36-year incumbent said commercial development is often accompanied with more rooftops to support the venture. “Rooftops don’t always make it work.”

Doran cited school facilities as a major issue facing the county and said the 10 schools identified on a recent renovation/replacement study was accompanied by a $300 million price tag.

“We need to find creative ways to upgrade facilities,” he said.

Herzberg said controlling growth and development is the number one issue in his mind and said people in Cold

Harbor don’t want large developments in their district. “I would scrutinize every project,” he said.

He also cited the need to maintain top-notch public safety and said he would always “put Hanover citizens first.”

Chesley said he would search for ways to eliminate waste and improve efficiencies throughout the system. “There are opportunities,” he said.

Davis cited the burden that unfunded mandates place on local governments, pointing out a federally mandated wastewater plan that is slated to cost the county $30 million.

He said mandated teacher raises from the state only include a portion of Hanover teachers and funding falls to the locality to make up the differences.

Davis said in a politically charged environment such as the one experienced today, there’s a real danger of “political legislation.”

Dibble said maintaining excellent schools and managing and balancing growth are major issues for her. She is committed to maintaining Hanover’s rural nature while providing excellent schools and public safety.

Hanover Business Council member Todd Rogers said he was pleased with the results of the forum.

“Any time voters can come out and hear the candidates makes them better informed when they enter the polls, so I think we had a successful evening tonight.”

2019 ELECTION GUIDE

Smithson ensures smooth elections

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

Cast your vote for the right candidate this election season.

Research candidates for elections

P

residential elections may grab the national headlines, but local elections also have a big impact on voters’ daily lives.

Locally elected officials are typically much more accessible to voters, whose participation in local elections can bring about real change.

With that in mind, here are some tips to prepare for Election Day, whether you are selecting state, county, town, provincial, labor union, or school officials.

Solidify your stance The first step to casting your vote is deciding how you feel about key issues and candidates.

Some voters back a particular political party, while others spend more time moving across party lines and standing with politicians who have like-minded goals and ideas. Make a list of the issues that you find most important and want addressed in this election. Then research the stance each candidate takes on the issues that most resonate with you.

Such information can save you the time and effort of looking into candidates on your own.

Delve further when needed to see if the facts are correct. Examine public records for policies candidates supported to confirm if their ideals are similar to your own.

Ignore the polls If you strongly support a candidate and his or her agenda, then stick with your preferences rather than relying on the polls. Polls may be used to sway indecisive voters. However, even though the polls may be indicating one thing, the real test of a candidate’s mettle is the end result come Election Day.

Attend a town hall meeting Many local candidates interact with voters at informal town hall meetings. This is a great chance to assess a candidate, and provides voters the opportunity to have their voices heard and ask questions about the issues that concern them.

You also may be able to watch candidate forums on television or online.

Research the candidates Conduct some preliminary research into each candidate running for office. Chances are their websites provide background information regarding their qualifications as well as their stances on certain issues. Many times newspapers will offer their own round-up on local candidates so you can get to know them further.

Q&A Continued from pg. 4

Address: Virginia Department of Elections.

1100 Bank Street, First Floor.

Stick to the issues The best candidate is not necessarily the one with the biggest campaign war chest. Resist the temptation to be swayed by the flashiest signs or the best slogan. Pay more attention to the candidates’ answers on tough questions.

HANOVER – Voters may have an issue sometimes with waiting in line on Election Day or a malfunction with equipment, but you’ll never hear any complaints about the officer in charge of those responsibilities.

Teresa “Teri” Smithson of Beaverdam, who was appointed as the Director of Elections/ General Registrar on Dec. 1, 2010, is probably one of the most pleasant people working at the Hanover County Government Complex.

She is always accessible and ready to help. She also is generous in crediting the dedication of her staff. “They are passionate about protecting and serving the 80,000 voters

in Hanover County’s 37 precincts,” Smithson said.

In her position, Smithson reports to Hanover’s Electoral Board, which consists of Robert Barnette Jr. of Mechanicsville as the secretary (D), Louis (Lou) Szari of Mechanicsville as the chair (D) and Michael C. Carter of Ashland as the vice chair (R).

Smithson previously was the Election Systems (VERIS) Helpdesk Analyst at the Virginia Department of Elections (known as ELECT) that serves the State Board of Elections, a position she held for over a year. Before that, she spent seven years with Circuit City Stores Inc., starting out as a customer service representative and working her way up to becoming a Project Manager,

managing multi-million-dollar initiatives.

Smithson married her Patrick Henry High School SMITHSON sweetheart Greg. They have married off their two daughters and now have four grandchildren.

When asked what her favorite pastime, she will tell you it is hanging out with her grandbabies and camping.

Her staff consists of Sheilah Frattini, Deputy Registrar; Caryn Fuerte, Assistant Registrar III; Alexandra Botts, Absentee/Security Specialist; and Patsy Napier, Part-Time Assistant Registrar.

Virginia Farm Bureau Federation AgPAC endorses Dr. Kevin Washington for House of Delegates Dr. Kevin Washington received the endorsement of the AgPAC, a political action committee of Virginia Farm Bureau Federation (VFBF), in the race for the 97th District seat in the Virginia House of Delegates. This is the first time over 20+ years that a Democrat has been endorsed by VFBF. “I will work to support Virginia’s producers in the General Assembly to help protect our economy, agriculture, and environment.

Agriculture is Virginia’s largest private industry. The industries of agriculture and forestry together provide more than 334,000 jobs in the Commonwealth that are critical to our economy,” Dr. Washington said in response to the endorsement.

Dr. Kevin Washington is among 126 candidates that VFBF AgPAC has endorsed for House and Senate seats. Endorsements were made based on the recommendations of local committees of farmers.

“Each of these candidates has demonstrated a clear understanding of the needs and challenges farmers are facing and/or have proven their support through their favorable voting records while holding positions in the General Assembly. We believe these candidates will help agriculture and forestry maintain its vitality as the number one industry in Virginia,” said Wayne F. Pryor, chairman of VFBF AgPAC and VFBF president. “We look forward to working with them in the 2020 Virginia General Assembly.”

The non-partisan VFBF AgPAC was created by Farm Bureau in 1999 and employs in-kind contributions to support candidates who can best support agriculture and Farm Bureau issues. A full list of candidates endorsed by the committee can be viewed online at vafb.com About Dr. Kevin Washington Dr. Kevin Washington works for VITAS as an information technology cloud architect. He is a veteran of the United States Army and served a combat tour in Iraq. While in the Army, he completed his Bachelor’s, Master’s, and Doctorate degrees. He lives in New Kent with his wife, LaToya, and their three children. Kevin is running for the House of Delegates to expand rural access broadband and job opportunities in HD-97.

Take steps to make Election Day free of delays, problems Election Day gives voters throughout the United States a chance to participate in their government. The right to vote is something to cherish, as many people across the globe do not get a chance to elect the officials who govern their countries.

While Election Day is an exciting time, voters may find it frustrating if they do not take steps to ensure things go smoothly when they head to the polls. The following tips can help voters prepare for Election Day. Confirm your polling location. Polling locations may have changed since last year, and voters who have moved in the past 12 months may now have to vote in a new location. Voters can contact their local board of elections or visit www.Vote411.org to confirm the correct polling locations. Voters should also learn the hours when the polls are open so they do not arrive too early or

6B

too late to vote.

Bring photo identification. Voter identification laws vary by state, but voters who want to avoid hassles or holdups may be able to do so by bringing current photo identification with them to the polling place. While such identification is not necessarily a requirement, voters who bring along a driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s license or state identification card may get in and out of the polling place more quickly than those who do not.

Confirm registration. Voters can confirm that they have registered to vote by contacting their local board of elections in advance of Election Day. Sometimes votersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; names may not appear on the registration list when they arrive to vote, even if they previously registered. Poll workers can help voters who find themselves in such situations. But voters who want to avoid such

A Special Supplement to The Mechanicsville Local & Ashland-Hanover Local October 23, 2019

hassles on Election Day can confirm their registration beforehand.

Be familiar with the candidates and issues on the ballot.

Voting is a privilege and a responsibility, so voters should familiarize themselves with the candidates and issues on the ballot in the weeks leading up to Election Day. In addition to national or statewide candidates and issues, voters should learn about local issues that may have a more direct impact on their daily lives. The more voters learn about the candidates and issues in advance, the more quickly they can cast their votes and get to work or return home.

Voting on Election Day is a privilege that voters should not take lightly. Taking certain steps in the weeks ahead of Election Day can make it easier for voters to cast their ballots.

DARYL CHESLEY, CANDIDATE, BOARD OF SUPERVISORS I am seeking the Henry District Supervisor position as an Independent because local governance is best carried out without partisanship.

I have extensive leadership experience in small, medium and large organizations â&#x20AC;&#x201D; on a local, state, and national level â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in both the public and private sectors.

Limited and efficient government, preserving property owner rights, preserving Henryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural beauty, and continuous improvement are the hallmarks of my campaign.
