She said she is honored to be named as the salutatorian and wishes the best for the entire Class of 2022.
Despite not having a “traditional” high school experience, she said she will “forever hold these memories close to [her] heart.”
“I am so thankful for the opportunities that high school has given me, such as the chance to build new relationships and grow in leadership,” she said. “I also want to thank all of my teachers for their dedication and mentorship. The last few years have been difficult and I applaud them for their commitment to education.”
“I will always cherish my time spent at Mechanicsville, but I am so excited to see what the future holds,” she added. “I wouldn’t have made it to this point without the support of my friends, family, teachers and coaches.”

Jeff Heie, director of GiveSolar, spearheaded a project in 2021 to raise funds to help Habitat affiliates in Virginia launch solar programs. He will be partnering with 10 Habitats across the state. Hanover and King William Habitat is the second Habitat in Virginia to partner with GiveSolar.
“One of the reasons I work with Habitat homeowners is that they have a harder time gaining access to solar,” said Heie. “So this project is about trying to make solar accessible to people who kind of fall in that lower income spectrum.”
Heie said Young will save around $70 a month on her electric bill and thousands of dollars overtime with her newly-installed 5-kW solar system, which consists of 14 solar panels.
Steve Trivett, Town of Ashland Mayor and Habitat board member, said he is very excited for the solar home installation and hopes it will become more widespread.
“The money that she saves on the solar, that’s money for family, outings, education… So it is wonderful that the savings that come from this can go into a family’s life,” Trivett said.
In addition, her new energy source is better for the environment than relying on fossil fuels, which are the primary source of electricity in Virginia, said Heie.
“We’re reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Every kilowatt hour that’s produced through solar is one less kilowatt hour that’s produced through burning natural gas or even coal,” said Heie. “So this is an opportunity to start shifting away from fossil fuels.”
Solar power converts natural sunlight into useable electricity for buildings. It can also protect homeowners from the rising price of natural gas used to generate electricity, which is expected to increase rates up to 20% in the next year.
“We also didn’t want to burden homeowners with systems that are going to be a lot of maintenance and have to be replaced after 10 years,” said Renee Robinson, Hanover and King William Habitat for Humanity Executive Director. “There’s been so many advancements in solar to where now it’s a much more long-term, sort of set it and forget it type of thing.”
The solar system placed on Young’s home will last for 25 to 30 years with little to no maintenance. Her home was selected based on the home’s sun exposure, position, past electricity bills and Young’s willingness to partner with the organizations.
Young’s home is the pilot project for Habitat’s new solar installation initiative. Habitat will monitor the installation on Young’s home in order to incorporate funding into the new initiative moving forward.
“This is the pilot, so that we have the data to be able to persuade other homeowners that this is a good thing to do,” said John Suddarth, Habitat board treasurer and champion of this cause. He has over 40 solar panels installed on his own home and has been working for years to introduce solar to Habitat homes.
“We’re trying to get to the point where in the future, we make every effort for every Habitat home to possibly have it,” Suddarth said.
Suddarth gathered a group of Ashland volunteers to help install the panels alongside a group of Convert Solar installers, which took a few hours under the sweltering morning heat. Convert Solar is a full-service solar energy system provider based in Virginia Beach.
Solar United Neighbors connected Habitat with the local installer, Convert Solar. Solar United Neighbors is a national nonprofit that represents the needs and interests of solar owners and supporters across the country.
According to Aaron Sutch, Atlantic Southeast Region Director for Solar United Neighbors, they have conducted around 1,100 solar installations in Virginia since 2014, which is the most out of any nonprofit in Virginia.
“And so in doing that, we have a lot of knowledge of the industry,” Sutch said, which allows them to help connect interested nonprofits with local installers.
In addition, they partnered with Heie to raise $30,000 for homes in Rockingham County as part of GiveSolar’s seed fund initiative in Virginia.
Sutch said he believes solar energy will continue to take off among homeowners. While not every house is a perfect fit, the technology is getting cheaper and constantly advancing, he said.
“And the beauty of this is… everybody loves it, they love to save money,” Sutch said. “So it’s apolitical.”
“And the idea of growing your own energy on your house… there’s something empowering about it,” he added. “Like, I am an energy producer.”

REDD
Continued from pg. 8 tion during a public comment period help prior to the appointment process.
“I have already spoken to people in the audience tonight about getting with them on this transgender issue. I am not what many have painted me as being – someone that is not inclusive of all ideas,” he said. “I am open to hear from them.”
Redd said he looks forward to serving his term that begins in July and issued a guarantee to the board. “I pledge not to disappoint you.”
A number of speakers expressed concerns regarding Redd’s nomination during the comment period, many citing his remarks provided in the recent newspaper article.
Jennifer Womble referred to the plight of LGBT community in Hanover schools and comments made by Redd regarding that community. “Not addressing these social changes or even accepting what you deem incorrectly as immoral, illogical and ungodly, you are intentionally marginalizing these kids in a school environment that will not allow them to be who they truly are. This has many detrimental effects on their mental health,” Womble said.
Redd had stated, “My attention will be focused on returning to the primary purpose of the public schools in Hanover County — education of the students, not indoctrination of the students, not promoting social change that is illogical, immoral and/or ungodly,” in the T-D series that questioned all eight candidates.
Mechanicsville resident Peggy Lavinder also expressed concerns with Redd’s recent comments.
“All signs indicate that we are getting a school board member who is quoted in the paper saying that he will find some children immoral for being who they are; he will call them evil,” Lavender said. “He will take names, take charge and use his Bible to wield decisions, wield power over policy and regulations — a Bible that is not my faith practice.”
She said the appointment sends the wrong message for many Hanover students and parents. “It’s all a message to a certain part of our Hanover community that you will not be protected, you will not be safe, you will not be considered,” she added.
Redd stated in those submitted responses that “We have strayed from godly principles and are reaping the consequences of disobedience. This is our watch — I take that very seriously. This is my watch — I have an assignment. Am I going to stand against immoral and illogical ideologies — YES! I am not going to be silently complicit and allow an evil tide to carry THE CHILDREN to a point where they are brainwashed.”
Following the meeting, Redd said, “I will say I thought they came at me mighty hard. I don’t feel that I am that unreasonable. I care about all the kids,” he said. “During the recess, I went back and approached a couple of those transgender parents and said I want to meet with you and understand it a little better. I want to get to know what they are looking for.”
Jim Ridolphi for The Local
Peggy Lavinder said Johnny Redd’s comments regarding religion and LGBTQ are unacceptable to her and other Hanoverians.

Atlee boys, girls win Region 4B track titles
By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor
MECHANICSVILLE — Atlee coach Neil Mathews thought his boys and girls outdoor track and field teams had a chance at winning their respective Region 4B championships. So he rolled the dice, maximizing individual efforts, and hoped the gamble would pay off.
Despite uncooperative weather on both days of the twoday meet, it did. Wednesday afternoon, the Raiders were crowned reigning kings and queens over their region rivals.
Their biggest region rivals happened to be their county rivals. In the boys’ championship race, Patrick Henry trailed Atlee by just four points, 110106, with Hanover fourth and Mechanicsville fifth. In the girls, the Hawks were just seven points behind the Raiders, 1495-142.5, with Patrick Henry seventh and Mechanicsville in a tie for eight with Chancellor.
“I was thrilled to death. I was super excited, super happy for the team,” said Atlee head track and field coach Neil Mathews. “I felt like it was a complete team effort, and we hadn’t had many of those complete team efforts. You know, recently we had been putting bits and pieces together whether it was we divided them on purpose, you know, or kind of split them up on purpose, resting some, racing others.
“The kids did a lot of things right leading into the meet to be ready by resting appropriately.
Joel Klein for The Local
Atlee’s Jada Foreman sprints home to victory in the Region 4B girls 100-meter hurdles while the rest of the fi eld still has one hurdle to clear. Foreman fi nished with six individual championships.
We executed and then, like all championships, you need to have a little luck every now and then.”
Atlee’s standout performer was USC-commit Jada Foreman, who claimed six regional titles on the day in the girls 200-meter dash, 100 and 200 hurdles, and the high jump, long jump and triple jump. Josie Rempe won the 100 dash.
No Atlee boys won, but used a solid team effort to score as often as possible — such as in the pole vault, where four Raiders, led by second-place Greg Durgin, scored.
Hanover’s girls were led by wins in the 4x800 relay. Individually, Alli Crytser won both the 800 and 1,600 runs. Ellie Agustin won the 3,200, Emma Sell the pole vault, and

Mustangs trounce Courtland to reach semis
By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor
MECHANICSVILLE — All season long, Mechanicsville High School’s baseball team has been battling Hanover for top-shelf placement among the Richmond metropolitan area’s Class 4 baseball teams.
The Mustangs, with a 10-0 walloping of Courtland in a Region 4B quarterfinal Thursday night, are one game away from earning the right to compete for a regional title as well as clinching a berth in the state Class 4 baseball championship tournament.
If the stars and plan-
Rachael Turner the shot put. Ethan Coleman and Deonte Harris led the Hawk boys. Coleman won both the 1,600 and 3,200 runs while Harris won the high jump and triple jump. Todd Benhase the pole vault.
“We were chasing the lead on both boys and girls side and the girls it was, you know, a two-team race, us and Atlee or us and Jada Foreman — however you want to look at it. She won six events. She’s just an incredibly amazing athlete,” said Hanover head coach Rich Firth. “It came down to the fact that they scored 19 points in the 300 hurdles and we had none. But we did — our kids did — everything we could. I mean, I couldn’t ask for anymore. We just came up short.”
Patrick Henry’s team was hampered by illnesses and injuries, but they still got solid performances, especially on the boys side. The Patriot boys 4x800 team won, as did Shamar Williams in the 100 dash and Trevor Mason in the 3,200.
Patriot head coach Scott Brown hoped the Patriot boys could overtake Atlee in the final event of the day, the 4x400 relay.
“We kind of had a little something left in the tank going into the 4x4,” Brown said. “We were hoping we would be able to pull away from Atlee a little bit more. We were never able to catch them during the meet. …
“They put a great plan together, and they threw everything they had into individual events to try to maximize on their points. We were separated by four points at the end. So it’s kind of fun always competing against Neil and those guys.”
Blake Moody led Mechanicsville with in the boys 200 and 400 dashes.

Mechanicsville pitcher Sam Owens struck out nine Courtland batters in a completegame victory in the Mustangs’ 10-0 win over the visiting Cougars in a Region 4B quarterfi nal Thursday.
ets align favorably Tuesday night (after this edition went to press), Mechanicsville and Hanover might be looking at each other in an all-county region title game Thursday night. Mechanicsville hosted Monacan in one regional semifinal Tuesday night while Hanover hosted Chancellor.
The Mustangs may have gotten a little help from their friends at Patrick Henry. The Patriots played Courtland in a first-round game on May 25, and the Cougars had to rely upon their ace to get through to the quarterfinal while Mechanicsville had a bye.
“Their pitching staff was pretty reliant upon one guy — a freshman that’s going to UVA — and PH went up 5-nothing on their No. 1 guy, so they had to use some of their pitching,” said Mechanicsville head coach Tyler Johnson. “It really helped us to have that bye.”
Mustang starting pitcher Sam Owens kept Chancellor batters at bay, allowing just three hits and walking two while striking out nine. He pitched his way out of a twoout jam in the fifth inning to preserve the shutout.
He got plenty of offensive support. Dallas Hairfield went 2-of-3 with a home run and four RBIs. Jacob Koenig has a home run and two RBIs. Trevor Loving and Aaron Maxie each had doubles, while C.J. DiNapoli drove in two runs with a single in the fourth inning.
Hanover advanced to the region semifinals with a 6-0 win over Atlee Thursday.

Mechanicsville girls advance with gutsy win over Monacan
By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor
MECHANICSVILLE — Mechanicsville High School’s girls soccer team wasn’t going to waste home field advantage Thursday night when Monacan came for the teams’ Region 4B quarterfinal matchup.
The Chiefs came to play and, despite falling behind 2-0 in the first half, frequently challenged the Mustangs for control of the pitch, but in the end, four different Mechanicsville players scored for a 4-1 victory.
The regional win was a long time coming for the Mechanicsville team.
“I don’t remember the last time Mechanicsville — or LeeDavis, whichever you want to call it — had a win in the regional tournament,” said Mustang head coach Paul Doss. “It was good for the girls — they were real excited — and is something we can build upon getting this program to the next level.”
Mechanicsville hosted Hanover in one semifinal Tuesday (after this edition went to press) while Atlee hosted Eastern View. Semifinal winners advance to the state tournament, which begins next week.
Bailey Altizer, Lindsey Schenack, Mackenzie Joly and Kaitlyn Henderson scored goals for the Mustangs.
