STOPS AT EVERY HOME IN TOWN

Routing options narrowed at DPRT meeting

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

Jim Ridolphi for The Local

Ashland Mayor Jim Foley asked why a third rail option running through Ashland’s downtown was included in the options. Related article on page 5.

ASHLAND — Following the second of six scheduled public meetings established to gather comments from the people who will be most affected by a proposed high-speed rail project from Richmond to Washington, D.C., many attendees left with more questions than answers. “I feel like they are just going through the motions and then are going to do whatever they decide,� one attendee said as he exited the meeting.

While Department of Public and Rail Transportation representatives have assured

the public that the Community Advisory Committee (CAC) process is designed to consider alternative routes, it seems most of the most viable suggestions have been eliminated.

Both opponents of adding a third rail through the center of Ashland and the western bypass alternative favored the consideration of eastern bypass routes that would eliminate significant impacts on both of those areas.

But initial screening of those options narrowed the list of alternative routes to four primary paths, none taking advantage of an old RF&P consee DRPT, pg. 5

Jennifer Mitchell, director of the Department of Public and Rail Transportation, said her department is willing to consider alternatives that did not score well in the initial screening process.

Linwood Thomas is settling into his role as director of Hanover County’s Economic Development Authority. With a new job, new baby and preparing to move into a new house, it’s an exciting time in his life. He looks at the EDA position as one that’s involved in the community and he is eager for that responsibility.

New EDA director says he’s excited about county

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE — With a new job, a recently delivered baby and a closing on a new house, one might assume that Linwood Thomas, Hanover County’s new director of Economic Development, is overwhelmed

“I believe that economic development is a job that requires involvement in the community.

Hanover has a great story to tell and I’m glad to be a part of that.”

LINWOOD THOMAS Hanover County EDA director

going through a mind-boggling period of change . . . but that’s not the case.

“I’m excited,” Thomas said as he admitted

life is moving faster than normal for him, his wife and newborn son. “I’m looking at this as a new challenge and we’re looking forward to settling in Hanover.”

That move will come in August, but, until then, Thomas will continue to drive the 70 or so miles between Hanover and King George, the site of his latest assignment as economic director.

Thomas, 37, is a George Mason University graduate and lifelong resident of the Fredericksburg area, but the Ashland/ Hanover area is not foreign to him. “My wife and I often visited the area and walked around Ashland or went to Maymont,” he said. “We’ve always loved the area.”

Thomas arrives in Hanover with a desire to do more than just perform the 9 to 5 responsibilities of the position.

glad to be a part of that.”

Thomas entered the economic development arena on a regional basis, serving on the Fredericksburg Regional Alliance as director of finance and global business development.

After six years and rising to deputy director, Thomas decided to “cut his teeth at the local level,” and took the job of economic director in King George County.

“The local level is where you do true economic development,” Thomas said. “I knew the region well and understand the strengths and weaknesses.”

King George is home to large military installations and is situated on the south side of the bridge that connects Maryland to Virginia via U.S. 301.

Thomas brought a team approach to economic development in the mostly rural county.

“Without the support of planning, the board of supervisors, you can have the best ideas, but — if they don’t get implemented — you haven’t accomplished the goal,”

Thomas said.

He formed those relationships in King George and partnered local government with the private and military sectors in economic development ventures.

Thomas established fiber lines to the park and improved rail access, eventually doubling the occupancy.

Dahlgren, a major weapons installation, is a major employer in the area, and Thomas was involved with a technologysharing program that allows private citizens to utilize some of those patents. The ultimate goal is to increase the number of technology based startups in the area.

During Thomas’s four-year tenure in King George, the retail tax base in the county doubled.

So, what attracted him to Hanover County? “I felt like I wanted more of a challenge,” Thomas said. “I liked Hanover’s model in that they do want to keep the rural nature of the county.”

Thomas said he would benefit from past land use decisions and lauded his predecessor’s work. He replaces Edwin Gaskin.

“I’d like to piggyback on

what’s been done. I think we need to continue to look at developers to help us with potential spec opportunities,” Thomas said.

He also hopes to continue the trend begun by Gaskin that focuses on site selection and readiness.

“Site readiness is critical. If you don’t have the right infrastructure in place, they are going to go somewhere else,” Thomas said. “We need to continue improving infrastructure on our sites to be more closer to site ready. That makes us more competitive.”

Thomas said his department would continue to focus on existing businesses in the county, maintaining a extensive net of communication and business walks throughout the county.

Hitting home runs with large corporate investors is rare in the economic development trade, and Thomas said departments are lucky to land one every four or five years.

The real hits come in the form of local small businesses, many of them looking to expand operations in the county.

Since beginning his job in April, Thomas said he’s already discovered two local firms

looking to expand production facilities.

“Making sure we are getting into these businesses and asking the right questions is really important,” Thomas said.

Maintaining a positive economic development environment is important, and Thomas approaches that task with an eye toward stability.

“I do think Hanover is poised for continued sustainable growth moving forward,” Thomas said. “That’s really what the board [of supervisors], the community and the county want and they’ve set their land use policies accordingly.”

Thomas also endorses the county’s stated goals regarding the mix of commercial and residential properties.

“My mentality is that we’ve got 22 percent of the land mass that the county wants developed, so let’s be doggone good in that 22 percent,” Thomas said.

Ways to increase productivity in that area could include establishing technology zones.

“Let’s make sure we are looking at all opportunities that fit with the county.”

Technology-based companies and the like could provide a solid economic base of Elm Drive/ Mechanicsville Turnpike, Mechanicsville.

for Hanover, and Thomas is open to exploring all of those options, including technologybased engineering, data centers and banking operations.

“We need to look at the ways businesses are expanding and consider the future of brick and mortar,” Thomas said. “Our department is asking those questions so we can be more competitive.”

Thomas said he’s also interested in finding out more information on exactly who is considering Hanover County for future development through data-driven analytics.

“We want to know where the hits are coming from and what companies are researching us,” Thomas said. “If someone has clicked on three times this month, I want to contact them and tell them about Hanover. We can work smarter and more efficiently in the world of economic development.”

Thomas said projects like the Dominion Resource incubator in Ashland attract the right type of new business and can lead to more opportunities.

“We need to make sure we are creating an environment to cultivate these types of industries,” Thomas said.

Assault and battery of a family member was reported in the 11500 block of Hanover Courthouse Road, Hanover.

Petit larceny building was reported in the 16200 block of International Street, Doswell.

Noting the need for a broad-based economic vision, Thomas is willing and ready to explore all options. “We need to look more at sports tourism, a billion dollar industry,” he said. “There are creative ways to use these ball fields and attract some of that business.”

When it comes to economic development, it’s all about partnerships, according to Thomas. He points to recent changes in land use policies as positive steps in the right direction to increase the county’s inventory.

“We can form partnerships with landowners, the county and the private sector to improve infrastructure on these sites. At the end of the day, I think success will require partnerships, whether that’s the state, the county and the landowner.”

But, right now, there’s another partnership that is requiring an ample amount of Thomas’ time as he and his wife Sandra prepare for a move in August to a new home in Hanover, with a new baby.

“It’s a wonderful time for us, and I couldn’t be happier about being a father,” Thomas said.

nector called the Buckingham Branch.

Carey Burch, a consultant working on the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the RVA2DC project, said those options were “eliminated” for a variety of reasons.

Two of the eastern bypass alternatives transgressed public park property, a violation of federal policy, and affected wetlands located in the proposed routes.

Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr., Hanover county administrator and committee member, said the county might be willing to relocate the boundaries of the park to ease that restriction, but Burch said the wetlands impact would still make the alternative “an uphill climb.”

Another eastern bypass option would disrupt historic properties in Doswell in addition to the environmental concerns.

Ashland Mayor Jim Foley questioned the validity of scrapping that option due to consideration of historic properties, but leaving in place the third rail option that affects Ashland’s main corridor and $100 million worth of historic properties.

Another option that had garnered public support was a plan to build a tunnel for the new train traffic underneath the town, a project that would take years to construct and presented a unique set of challenges for engineers.

Burch said that option would cause too much disruption to the town during the construction phase, but one attendee said most citizens would prefer a temporary delay versus losing their property, an action that could have lifelong effects.

According to Burch’s presentation, when the draft EIS is published later this year, it will include only four alignment

still hinted she’ll take a cautious approach.

“I think you could feel the tension in the room here tonight,” Miller said. “The general feeling in the room is that we are hopeful that options will be widely considered.”

But Mitchell noted a narrowing of the number of alternatives and exactly what will be included in the draft EIS and said that was a reversal of what she envisioned after the first meeting.

She also cited something else missing from the process. “To me, the biggest thing missing is the common sense factor. If we are looking at the three areas of the planning process, none of them mentioned the social impact and we haven’t’ seen any budget numbers. I can’t help but think that those numbers will factor in heavily when those numbers come out.”

Aubrey M. “Bucky” Stanley is one of Hanover’s four-member team on the DPRT advisory committee and was disappointed with the reduced number of options for alternative routes. He represents the Beaverdam District on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors.

“When the idea of a tunnel came up at the last meeting, a lot of people thought that may work,” he said. “And, then, our ace in the hole was something I’ve worked with Rhu (Harris) on for a long time and that’s the eastern bypass and not that’s been shot down tonight.

Our choices are getting so limited.”

But Mitchell stressed everything is still on the table and the next two meetings could better determine a future path forward.

“We’re still talking about all the alternatives at this point.”

Four more meeting are scheduled for the Community Advisory Committee with the next one set for July 24, but no time or location has been announced.

DRPT will allow public comments at next meeting Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com RICHMOND — The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) has convened Community Advisory Committee (CAC) meetings related to the Town of Ashland/Hanover County Area portion of the Washington, D.C., to Richmond Southeast High Speed Rail (DC2RVA) corridor.

The draft document also denotes three options regarding the Ashland train station.

Jennifer Mitchell, DPRT director, said the process is still open to suggestions and alternatives that did not pass the initial screening could still be considered.

She explained a parallel DIS is being prepared as the Hanover meetings continue that includes an update on this process, but noted the ultimate goal of these meetings is to achieve “consensus.”

“We have delivered the draft EIS to the Federal Railroad Administration,” Mitchell said. “This is the final step that we go through before we publish the draft EIS.” That process takes about 30 days.

Once the draft EIS is published, a series of public meetings will be held later this summer regarding the findings.

“The draft EIS does not have any specific recommendation as related to Ashland and this segment of the corridor,” Mitchell said. “It documents the alternatives we looked at before and talks about the alternatives we had recommended to be carried forward, but it states there will be an additional process . . . to look at those alternatives and work things out.”

Melissa Miller, president of the Hanover Chamber of Commerce, took some solace in Mitchell’s assertions, but

Is there treasure in that purse or what?

Have a plan in place in case burglars break in

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor Hoarder doesn’t quite describe my compulsion to simply put things away. Rather, it comes down to not being a Susie Homemaker type, as well as a high percentage of lazy around the house.

While working from home with a broken ankle, there were a few occasions when online shopping beckoned. I was pretty much housebound for three months — December through February — during the healing process.

So, as one who reads several newspapers online every morning, some advertisements would catch my eye and an order would be placed.

Among those items was a summer purse. I’m not one to coordinate purses with clothing (that’s what Mom does). I’ll carry the same handbag for a year until, because of my “filing” system, it becomes too heavy and demands a look inside.

When everything is dumped out onto the bed, the surprises come in waves.

The best part of just throwing things in a

purse is finding money. I’m notorious to just drop change in the purse. Once, I went to a machine that separates your coins and you get a receipt for cash. The total was $112. You read that right: There was $112 in change in the bottom of my purse.

Sunday, June 25, was the first step in the process. I took out everything that was paper-related.

There were receipts, movie and concert ticket stubs, outdated appointment cards for physicians, bank statements —- you get the idea. A bonus was found during the search: $12 and some change.

I also discovered many things related to the vacation I took in late May into early June. The lists included items that needed to be purchased before the trip, as well as what I’d have to pack.

Next I’ll be tackling the lipstick collection in the bottom of the purse. How many versions of pink are there? I’ll soon find out.

The new purse is forcing me to downsize. I am committed to carrying the smaller version so

there isn’t that temptation to create a catch-all of mail, etc.

Suffice it to say, with my career moves, there are boxes in the garage just screaming to be opened with the goal of determining what stays and what goes. Box it up and tape it has been the chant for too long.

But first I’ve got to do battle with all the odds and ends that have made their home inside my purse. If all goes well, I’ll have won with a lighter load on my shoulder.

I’m writing this in hopes to make people think. We as a people don’t really think about things until it happens to us or someone we know.

During a recent home invasion, two of my friends -- who I really consider family -- were hurt badly.

The invaders demanded money then beat my friends to the point where they were hospitalized.

I can’t imagine the pain much less the mental anguish this is going to cause them but it has gotten me to thinking, “What would I do in a home invasion if I were home?”

I am seeing this on the news more often where burglars appear to be getting braver and breaking into homes while the home owners are there.

I do keep guns with me, and not to pat myself on the back but I am a good shot. But how would I do under pressure in a situation like this? This is something that I can’t determine.

So the more I think about it the more I am thinking I need an edge. I have dogs, but who’s to say an invader just wouldn’t shoot them. Obviously they don’t mind beating a human being.

I am strongly considering adding cameras and sound to my security system to where I can monitor my home on my cell phone while I am away as well as record.

The thing is if a burglar wants something he will get it. Material things can be replaced but what happened to my friends are scars for life I would imagine.

I guess the main thing I want everyone to take away from this is to think about what you would do in this situation and how you would go about addressing it.

How can you make your home safer? Have a plan. Just like a fire see LETTERS, pg. 8

and that many of the alternatives for greater rail capacity in this area generated community concerns. As a result, DRPT recommended to the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) a community-based effort to supplement DC2RVA public involvement activities and help inform DRPT’s recommendation for a preferred alternative that provides the required rail capacity through the Ashland/ Hanover area.

As part of the community based effort, DRPT proposes that the CAC will take a more intensive look at all previous options. The CAC also could identify potential new options to meet the purpose and needs of the DC2RVA project, while minimizing or avoiding any potential impacts of those options.

County Cannery opened Saturday ASHLAND — July signifies the opening of canning season.

Canning, the old practice of preserving fruits and vegetables has traditionally been done in the home.

Hanover County has a Cannery that also operates as a commercial kitchen where residents, non-residents and commercial customers may process their produce on commercial-grade equipment.

The Hanover County Cannery opened on Saturday, July 1. It will be open Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays in July and August.

The Cannery will be open on Saturdays in September and

October.

On Mondays during these months, processing can take place between 2:30 and 5 p.m. (the Cannery closes at 10 p.m. on Mondays). On the other days of the week, processing can take place between 8:30 and 10 a.m., with the Cannery closing at 3 p.m.

The canning process must begin during these designated times in order to have the process completed by the Cannery closing time.

Processes that take longer than the average of five hours must be approved in advance by the Cannery supervisor.

Call the Cannery Supervisor to check on the

availability before you travel.

The Cannery supervisor’s number is 804-365-6484.

For Hanover County residents, the cost is $1.17 a can or .30 cents a jar. For those who do not live in Hanover County, the charge is $1.32 per can and .40 cents per jar.

You must bring your own jars.

Additional charges apply for use of the kettle, blancher or corn machine.

Commercial customers are encouraged to set up an appointment with the Cannery Supervisor.

The Cannery is located at 12491 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland.

If you are interested in

learning how to can, you are invited to sign up for a canning vegetables class.

These classes will be held at 6 p.m. on July 11, 18 and 25.

The cost is $20; all supplies will be provided and you will go home with canned vegetables. Go to the Hanover Parks and Recreation website and click on Recreation Programs.

You can register online at Discover Recreation Online (https://apm.activecommunities.com/hanoverparksrec), using the keyword cannery.

Class sizes are limited.

year’s Tomato Festival. There will be food, giveaways, information about local businesses, and items to purchase such as jewelry and clothing. Also joining this year’s event will be produce vendors Agriberry and Sandridge Honey.

For a complete list of vendors, check the website at https://www.hanovertomatofestival.com/.

“Folks can purchase their official event t-shirts at the Mobile Ink pod,” Durrer said.

“They screen print them there on-site, right across from the Tomato Tent.”

Another tradition of the Hanover Tomato Festival is the donation of all proceeds to the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department.

Col. David R. Hines, sheriff of Hanover County, said, “We anticipate between 6,000 to 8,000 vehicles will travel into this area for this event.

Deputies will be directing traffic at key intersections along Pole Green Road, as well as monitoring several others, to ensure traffic flows as quickly as possible.”

He said his officers will be directing traffic at the following intersections: Pole Green Park/Pole Green Road (entrance), Pole Green Road/ Tate Lane (exit), Pole Green Road/Walnut Grove Road, Pole Green Road/Rural Point Road and Pole Green Road/ Lee Davis Road.

The late Oscar Watson started the festival at the fire department in 1978; there was one booth selling tomatoes and 10 to 15 craft vendors. About 300 people came out for that first festival.

In 2009, the largest attendance of 42,000 was reported, with about $22,000 being raised. That figure was before expenses.

The festival outgrew the fire station site early on and moved to Battlefield Park Elementary School. As the festival continued to expand, so did the need for a new location. In 1999, it moved to Pole Green Park.

The Tomato Festival is presented by the Black Creek VFD, The Mechanicsville Local, Herald Progress and Hanover County Parks & Recreation.

summer leadership development conference, team-building workshops, a travel studies program, and career networking opportunities.

“The 36 individuals who were awarded Jefferson Scholarships this year emerged from the most competitive selection process in the foundation’s history,” said Jimmy Wright, president of the Jefferson Scholars Foundation.

“We extended invitations to 4,567 secondary schools requesting nominations, and received 2,005 in total – a record high.”

Once nominated by their high schools, scholarship candidates undergo a rigorous, multi-stage selection

process. First, they are evaluated and interviewed by UVA alumni, who determine which nominees will move forward and attend the Jefferson Scholars Selection Weekend, a four-day competition in Charlottesville.

This year, 120 finalists were invited to Grounds to compete in the final stage of the selection process. They participated in a seminar discussion, an essay and mathematics examination, and a final round of interviews led by UVA alumni.

Nearly 1,000 alumni took part in the selection process.

The incoming Jefferson Scholars represent 21 states and one foreign country.

At MLWGS, McCrimmon’s

extracurricular activities included editor of the school newspaper the Jabberwock, founding editor of the literary magazine the Borogrove, executive director of MLWGS Model Congress, and member of the school’s “We the People” team which won the national competition in May. McCrimmon is a 2016 alum of the Sorensen Institute’s High School Leaders Program at UVA. In Hanover County, McCrimmon served on the Hanover Youth Planning Commission for three years.

Study the Constitution and history, Ms. Radler, and you will find that the FBI director works for we the people and the President of the United States and can be fired whenever the President sees fit.

If Comey had done his job, Hillary Clinton would not have been able to run for President, but would be sitting in jail now paying for her many lies and crimes.

This fairy tale that Russia had something to do with electing President Trump is as phony as a $3 bill.

When I went to vote on Nov. 8, no Russian was standing by my side whispering in my ear to vote for Trump.

I didn’t read one story either in your paper, The Richmond Times-Dispatch or see on any left of the left wing TV shows that our voting machines had been tampered with or hacked.

There is no Russian involvement in our election. It is simply a phony concocted story

to try and explain how Queen Hillary lost her crown, never to gain it back again.

The truth is that Clinton was a terrible candidate, a female Barack Obama, and millions of Americans, Democrats and Republicans, realized we could not stand four more years of this tragedy. We didn’t need the Russians to tell us this.

If you think the vicious vile witch hunt the Democrats are engaged in is just a game, it is far worse than that.

The Democrats are costing the American taxpayers, you and me, millions of dollars by their calling for special counsels, special prosecutors and their constant stalling tactics. Just look at how President Trump’s Cabinet secretaries were treated.

We saw delay after delay with almost every Democrat voting against the President’s appointees. These delays also cost the taxpayers millions of dollars.

Democrats are not interested in governing, helping

our country or working for the good of the people. Their number one goal is to destroy President Trump and his administration.

If you are satisfied with them, keep voting them back into office. But, if you are horrified with their lying, pettiness and wasting taxpayers’ money, throw them out at the next election.

If you voted for Democrats in the past, you should never do it again, seeing how vicious, vindictive and mean they are.

The two do-nothing senators that we have – Tim Kaine and Mark Warner – should be booted out of office as soon as possible.

Only elect conservatives who are trying to undo the mess from the Obama years and trying to make our country great again.

Get over it, Toni Radler.

Get over it, radical Democrats.

And get over it, left wing news media. Hillary Clinton

Sheriff ’s Office planning for National Night Out HANOVER — The time has come to start planning for the National Night Out 2017 in Hanover County. This year’s date is Tuesday, Aug. 1.

Sgt. James R. Cooper, speaking on behalf of Col. David R. Hines, sheriff, said, “National Night Out is an annual event designed to strengthen our communities by encouraging neighborhoods to engage in stronger relationships with each other and with their local law enforcement partners.”

And it doesn’t take long to witness just how special this group of kids is. A few minutes in their presence reveals the true nature of what the term hero really means. They embrace everything the word encompasses, and display daily the grit it takes to fight overwhelming odds and enjoy the simple pleasures of life.

And now that camp is concluded and everyone heads back home, the real work begins -raising funds for research and an eventual cure for this special group of kids and the families who love them.

No changes for seats on county school board

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local HANOVER – The Hanover County Board of Supervisors took a “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it� approach when it reappointed two current Hanover County School Board members to new terms at last Wednesday’s meeting.

Cold Harbor nominee Norman Sulser was unopposed in his bid for reappointment, but two other nominees challenged South Anna representative and vice chair Sue Dibble.

Clara James Scott SULSER and Lakisha Greenhow placed their names in nomination, and supervi-

sor Wayne Hazzard said all three candidates were well qualified to do the job.

The South Anna supervisor said it was a difficult decision, but he opted to maintain the steady path the school board has exhibited durDIBBLE ing Dibble’s tenure. “I was blessed with three candidates who were well qualified, so my job was not as easy as Mr. [Scott] Wyatt’s,� he said. “Based on the achievements we’ve already accomplished in our school system, I’m going to recommend Ms. Dibble for another four-year term.� see SCHOOL, pg. 13

Stanley to chair airport commission Beaverdam District supervisor elected to lead regional group for fourth time HANOVER – Aubrey M. “Bucky” Stanley, who represents the Beaverdam District on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, has been elected chairman of the Capital Region Airport Commission, the administrative authority for Richmond International Airport, for the fourth time.

Stanley has served on the Capital Region Airport Commission since 1986. Elected to the board in 1983, Stanley is the longest-serving supervisor in Hanover County history.

“It’s quite an honor to be part of a regional Airport Commission that serves the entire Richmond area,” Stanley said. “RIC is a big deal from an economic development

BUCKY STANLEY standpoint. When companies come to visit the Richmond area, the airport is the very first thing they see, so it’s important

that we have one of the best.

And from everything I can see, Richmond’s Airport is one of the best in the country.”

“We’re truly looking forward to working with Aubrey Stanley as he again serves as chairman of the Capital Region Airport Commission,” said Jon E. Mathiasen, AAE, president and CEO. “Mr. Stanley brings a wealth of experience to airport leadership, given that his service on the commission dates back to Jan. 1, 1986, and has thrice previously held the chairmanship position.

We have good reason to be enthusiastic about Richmond International Airport’s future and welcome Chairman

Stanley to the helm.”

and Technical Education) Governor’s School held at the University of Richmond last summer.

He also promoted the establishment of a Health Care Specialty Center at Hanover High School, and pushed for a change in Hanover’s grading scale.

After 12, not consecutive, years on the school board, Sulser said he’s ready and willing to meet the challenges facing Hanover County Public Schools. “It was my honor and privilege to serve for the past four years and I look forward to the next four,� he said after his reappointment was unanimously approved. “We have a great school board family.�

Sulser said he would focus on technology and the $16 million five-year plan to make substantial improvements for Hanover County students and teachers.

Sulser and his fellow board members’ efforts will be bolstered by another action taken at the June 28 board of supervisors meeting that authorized director of finance Jacob Sumner to enter a lease purchase agreement for about $4 million.

The money will fund the first phase of the county’s school technology upgrade plan that includes infrastructure improvements to the current system.

Hazzard noted the five-year amortization on the loan is a good idea considering how fast new technology can become obsolete. “One of the reasons we used such a short-term financing is because of the life cycle of the equipment that we are buying,� Hazzard said. “I think it’s smart to keep it as short as we can because you don’t know when it will be obsolete.�

Other board members noted that this agreement funds the first step in a continuing process that comprises the technology upgrade project. “The reality is that we know that this is an ongoing expense and something that we will have to fund,� said board chair Angela Kelly-Wiecek, Chickahominy District.

County Administrator Cecil R. “Rhu� Harris Jr. said the county not only has a five year Capital Improvement Plan, but also a 10-year version, and technology improvements for the schools are included in

Local Cub Scout Pack donates books to ICDS Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com

RICHMOND — The Greater Richmond ARC’s Infant and Child Development Services (ICDS) program recently received two donations of new books to be distributed throughout the year to participating children with disabilities.

First Book teamed with Pizza Hut’s social impact initiative, Pizza Hut: The Literacy Project, to provide ICDS with 150 books.

Each participating ICDS child will receive at least one new book per month.

Separately, Cub Scout Pack 521 donated over 120 books to ICDS in March as part of their

The pack consists of five dens of 80 boys who attend

Cool Spring, Pearson’s Corner, and Kersey Creek elementary schools.

As part of this project, the boys chose developmentally appropriate books for young children that included high contrast, texture, and sound.

“It is critically important to foster a love of reading beginning at an early age,” said ICDS director Cara Coffman.

“One of the best ways to enhance language and cognitive skills is through books. ICDS is grateful for the support of organizations like First Book and the Cub Scouts, and companies such as Pizza Hut, who have made it possible for us to provide books to each of the children in our program, and the lifelong benefits that come with enjoying them,” she added.

Macon F. Brock Jr. joined in the dedication of the science building named in his honor.

ASHLAND — RandolphMacon College recognized its largest benefactor, Macon F. Brock Jr., by naming the new science building Macon F. Brock Jr. Hall.

A dedication and ribboncutting ceremony were held Friday, June 23, in front of the science hall.

Brock, who graduated from R-MC in 1964, and his wife Joan have become the school’s most significant benefactors.

New council member: character makes town Joe Topham receives designation of CEcD

By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local

A

SHLAND — For over 30 years, Ashland has been home to newly appointed town council member John

Hodges.

He said he loves the town as a community and its special character, that he says “makes Ashland Ashland.”

When the opportunity arose to apply for the council seat, he said it was “that unique HODGES opportunity to get involved and help keep Ashland Ashland.” That inspired the retired government official in submitting his application.

Hodges replaces Vice Mayor James Murray, who decided to vacate his seat on town council to pursue higher edu-

cation at the Duke University School of Law. He has served on council since 2014.

“The current council has done an excellent job at helping Ashland to keep its character, to protect its uniqueness.

I would hope to fill in for James [Murray] who is leaving, continuing council’s efforts to keep Ashland Ashland.”

JOHN HODGES Member, Ashland Town Council

Holding years of significant administrative and planning experience with Hanover County under his belt, Hodges wants to serve a community he respects.

With his “cross-section” of experience, as Councilman Steve Trivett put it at a June 20 council meeting, Hodges’ qualifications as a candidate convey a

sound judgment in his appointment to fill the remainder of the term.

“I came to the county in 1980 – I was director of gross management for two years, then became the director of planning, and then in 1998 I was made the deputy county administrator for community development. I stayed in that position until the end of 2010 when I retired,” Hodges said, explaining how it was “a mouthful, but it was helpful.”

As an undergraduate, he attended the University of Virginia (UVA), where he received his Bachelor of Arts in History. After graduating in 1970, Hodges joined the United States Army, serving four years, before getting married and heading back to Charlottesville to enroll in a master’s degree program at his alma mater.

He received his master of planning degree from UVA in 1976, with a focus in urban and regional planning.

After receiving his master’s degree, Hodges was hired by a consulting firm, Harland Bartholomew and Associates.

“Here, on this beautiful morning, we come together to dedicate our eighth new facility in what I’m now calling ‘Phase One’ of R-MC. We’ve got other phases to go, but this is our magnificent campaign capstone, the Macon F. Brock Jr. Hall,” Robert R. Lindgren, R-MC president, said.

The building, which adjoins the northwest side of the college’s Copley Science Center and spans 30,000 square feet, reflects R-MC’s commitment to the sciences and furthers its tradition of outstanding education and scholarship. It is home to the chemistry, biology, and environmental studies/geology departments.

Already being used by students, the new science building includes innovative teaching laboratories and state-of-theart labs, conference rooms and offices for faculty. Also included in the science hall is space dedicated for student advisement for those interested in careers in healthcare.

director of Marketing and Communications at R-MC, said the facility ran a $17.5 million cost – including $415,000 of the funds spent on a brandnew Keeble Observatory.

The Brocks gave the leading gift to the project, donating millions of dollars, as well as six other top donors who made gifts of $500,000 or more plus many more graduates and people who care about R-MC. Continuing their commitment to their alma mater after 18 years of supporting R-MC, the Birdsong family, including Thomas H. Birdsong III and Jane M. Birdsong, George Y. Birdsong and Sue B. Birdsong, as well as the Birdsong Corporation, were among the top donations of $500,000 or more.

In addition to their involvement in the project of building the new science building, the Birdsongs have supported Birdsong Hall, Brock Commons, the Birdsong Peaks of Excellence Center, the Birdsong Townhouses, and the Birdsong Field House.

For many years, Donna W. and J. Whiting Chisman Jr., from the Hampton Roads area, have been generous benefactors to the college. They also

significantly supported the science building.

Linda and Serge Schreiner, Ph.D, used their gift to the science facility as a way to challenge and motivate other alumni and friends to support the construction. Their challenge totaled a remarkable result of $2.8 million that was committed to its completion.

The Estate of Dorothy T. and Muscoe Garnett also donated a large sum of money to the project. The 1930 graduate of the college and his wife gave their support to R-MC “with a significant bequest in their estates.”

Muscoe Garnett was founder and president of Garnet Oil Company, later being sold to the Exxon Corporation.

The estate’s gift provided the seed money to begin the architectural designs of the building.

Longstanding philanthropy leaders at R-MC, the Brocks have devoted their support, leadership and time to numerous major projects, including Brock Commons and Brock Sports and Recreation Center, as well as renovations to Fox Hall, Haley Hall, Thomas Branch and Brock Residence Hall.

Graduating from R-MC with a Bachelor of Arts (B.A.)

in Latin, Brock joined the Marine Corps and served his country in the Vietnam War before he co-founded K and K Toys and Dollar Tree stores.

Mrs. Brock graduated from Longwood University (then Longwood College) where she earned her B.A. in secondary education with a minor in mathematics. Both have since gone on to achieve multiple degrees in higher education.

“This is a special day for Joan and I because I recall sitting outside of the lunch room with Bob about three years ago – and I said, ‘Bob, let’s make this science building happen; and I’m in a hurry so go quickly,’ ” Brock said, referring to Lindgren. “And he did, so here we are,” he told the audience at the dedication.

Other speakers included: the Rev. Kendra D. Grimes, Chaplain and Director of Church Relations; Alan B. Rashkind, Chairman of the Board of Trustees; William T. Franz, Provost; and Paranjay D.

lost and God installed a great President to save our country.

The only solace Democrats have is that Hillary won more popular votes.

So what? Who is sitting in the White House and who is walking in the woods talking to the squirrels?

I wake up every morning and wonder what kind of lies the Democrats and liberal news media concocted overnight to try to destroy our President.

Donald Trump has done more to bring our country back from the abyss and make us great again in his first 100 days than Barack Obama did in his entire eight years.

Nobody deserved to be impeached over and over again more than Barack Obama.

He tried to shred the Constitution, apologize for many of the great things we did, and make us into a Third World country, destroying our

military and not being honest enough to say that we were founded as a Christian nation blessed and sustained by the power of God, the Father of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

In spite of all of Obama’s destruction, you heard very little complaint against him except for a few patriotic souls in the conservative media.

For those of my Christian conservative friends who have become discouraged by this totally bias treatment, cheer up.

Remember, against all odds, polls and pundits who said Hillary Clinton was a shoo-in to be our next President, God had the final say and helped to elect Donald Trump to be our true next President. If He can do this, He certainly has the power to protect our President and to protect our great Christian conservative causes.

Raymond C. Germeroth Mechanicsville

Investigations of Russia need to end If Vladimir Putin, the murderous, Russian thug president, had anything to do with keeping Hillary Clinton out of the White House, I would like to give him a great big Russian bear hug and a big kiss and say, “Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.”

For, if she had ascended to the presidency, she would have completed the destruction of our beloved country that Barack Obama started eight years ago.

Stop all these phony Russian investigations that are costing we the taxpayers millions of dollars and, instead, give Vladimir an all-expense-paid vacation to one of Virginia’s great resorts.

Impact Statement (EIS) for the 123-mile rail corridor that goes through all cities and counties along the Interstate 95 corridor between Arlington and Chesterfield. The DC2RVA Tier II EIS will evaluate track and safety improvements, bypasses, station options, and reasonable service alternatives for the entire corridor. A Tier I EIS, from Washington, D.C.,

to Charlotte, North Carolina, was completed in 2002 and included this corridor. The current Tier II EIS is the next step in a rigorous environmental process.

The rail corridor that parallels I-95 is an integral component of the Commonwealth’s transportation system.

DC2RVA will improve this critical link in the U.S. intercity

passenger rail system between Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor (Boston, Massachusetts, to Washington, D.C.) and the Southeast High Speed Rail corridor. This project is funded through a cooperative agreement between DRPT and FRA for the completion of preliminary engineering and Tier II environmental review.

Area kids to benefit from Anthem LemonAid stands Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com RICHMOND — Every week, a child is diagnosed with cancer in Central Virginia. In June 2015, Caroline Morris was one of them. Since then, she has been undergoing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most common form of childhood cancer, at Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU (CHoR).

Caroline now only requires monthly visits to CHoR and is scheduled to be finished with her active treatment in August.

Her blonde hair has grown back, after losing it as a side effect of chemotherapy, and her mom, Carla, is quick to express

relief at the thought of getting “back to normal and not worrying so much.”

For Caroline, the end of her monthly visits will mean more time for library books, acting classes and “Caroline’s Kitchen,” her at-home cooking show.

Caroline set up her first Anthem LemonAid stand last summer, complete with homemade lemon cookies and a matching lemon outfit. Her plans for this summer’s stand are already underway in an effort to give back to CHoR, the hospital that has helped her so much.

We have a desire to serve locally and globally.” The April Students of the Month were senior Ryan Brown, junior Savanna McClenny, sophomore Jordan Sheridan and freshman Austin Testerman.

Sponsored by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Anthem LemonAid is Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals’ signature summer event and has been helping kids with cancer since 2001. The event is in the second year of a $250,000 commitment to the Infusion Center in CHoR’s Hematology and Oncology Clinic, where children with cancer, like Caroline, receive the chemotherapy, blood transfusions, and immune system

boosting infusions they need.

This summer, Richmond-area families, businesses and community organizations, can join together to make a big difference for local kids with cancer by setting up a lemonade stand the weekend of July 1416. It’s free to participate and supplies are provided.

Every registered participant will receive lemonade mix, cups, a pitcher, a banner, stickers and sunglasses.

Stands can be set up at one of the approved partner retail locations or at a place of participants’ choosing, such as a local business, front yard, or neighborhood pool.

Participants will distribute cups of lemonade in exchange for donations and 100% of all funds raised will support the $250,000 fundraising goal.

Along with Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, other event sponsors include Children’s Hospital Foundation, Virginia Credit Union, RVA Primrose Schools, Richmond Family Magazine, RichmondMom.com, Walmart, Sam’s Club, Kroger, Lakeside Avenue Business Association and Walgreens.

COUNCIL Continued from pg. 16

“They did planning and consulting work for a number of cities in Hanover County – I worked on projects: a community development block grant, comprehensive planning and [other] related work with Harland Bartholomew until I was hired by the county,” he said.

As for what he plans to do for his fellow Ashlanders, Hodges said his motivation is to preserve the town’s characteristics that make it special.

“The current council has done an excellent job at helping Ashland to keep its character, to

protect its uniqueness; I would hope to help fill in for James [Murray] who is leaving, continuing council’s efforts to keep Ashland Ashland,” Hodges said.

Town council chose Hodges out of an eight-person candidate pool consisting of other Ashland residents who had applied to fill the vacancy. They were: Linda Wright, Terry Cook Jr., David Hine, Daniel McGraw, Cedar Reiner, Nelson Vaughan and Wayne Weller.

Wright was appointed by council members to serve an unexpired term on the Ashland Planning Commission, replacing Felix Stevens, who recently was hired as the town’s finance director.

started chipping away at the lead.

Karnes reached on a single in the top of the second inning and scored when Nicholas walked Jonathan Spaulding with the bases loaded to make it 5-2.

The next run wouldn’t come until the top of the sixth, when Karnes again reached on a single and scored on a fielder’s choice to make it 5-3.

Then, the offense exploded in the top of the seventh.

Three of the first four batters

for Post 175 walked to load the bases with one out.

Karnes stepped to the plate and put an offering from relief pitcher Hunter Montgomery over the left-center field wall to see POST 175, pg. 31

plate four runs for Post 175.

“Another huge hit by Trey Karnes,” Powers said. “When our backs are against the wall late in the game, he’s come up big.”

Bryan Diehr, Brian Rollison and Noah Smith would reach base and score after Karnes’ grand slam to complete the seven-run inning before Powhatan was able to stop the bleeding.

Post 201 mounted a late charge of their own in the bottom of the eighth inning, when they started touching up relief pitcher Antonio Balducci.

Montgomery had a oneout single, which was followed

by Butler doubling. Two batters later, Ross Lewis singled in Montgomery to make it 10-6.

An RBI single by Cale Agee and two walks in a row with the bases loaded scored a total of four runs for Post 201 to bring them within one run.

Post 175 got some insurance runs in the top of the ninth when Smith reached base on a single and was moved to second by a sacrifice bunt from

Spaulding. Davis brought Smith home with an RBI triple and would score on a wild pitch to make it the final of 12-9.

Make a lunch kids will devour

J&J Body Shop

Children can be picky eaters, making it challenging for parents to find foods their kids will consume. Family dinners are challenging enough, but lunches kids will love can be even more difficult to come by.

Parents can prepare lunches kids are certain to devour by thinking outside of the traditional lunch box. Using some creativity and building off of kids’ favorite foods is the key.

7465 Sujen Ct. Mechanicsville, VA 23111 746-2744 JandJbodyshop.com

Make it miniature

has acquired

Mini versions of kids’ favorite foods can be entertaining and entice children to try things they normally wouldn’t. If it’s fun-sized, it can be swallowed in one bite. Think about mini sandwiches cut into fun shapes with a cookie cutter.

Or use little condiment cups to hold chicken salad, soup or yogurt.

Offer variety Give kids a bit of a buffet inside of their lunches. This way, if something isn’t tickling their taste buds, they still have other healthy options at the ready. This technique also ensures that kids will not get hungry after skipping meals.

Lunch buffets do not have to be complicated.

Include half of a sandwich, a piece of fruit or an applesauce cup, some trail mix, and a granola bar.

Look for complex carbohydrates and protein so that little bellies will feel full.

Go with what works If a child really enjoyed the previous night’s dinner, offer up a repeat for lunch the next day.

Some schools have a microwave where hot foods can be reheated. If that’s not available, invest in a thermos or a durable, insulated container that can keep the foods at a comfortable temperature.

Lunchtime at school occurs not too far into the day, and it’s feasible that food can still be warm if heated right before leaving the house.

METR0

Tomatoes makes everything better! Toss some on a sandwich for more flavor.

Sneak in some nutrition If kids are bound to eat the same thing over and over again, mix it up in subtle ways. Add a slice of tomato to a plain cheese sandwich and serve it on whole-wheat bread for added nutrition. Blend cauliflower into mac-and-cheese so it’s barely noticeable. Add flavor to lunch meats with a piece of bacon. Bake up nutritious cereal bars on your own that pack a nutritious punch and could have pureed fruit as the base.

Gowin Auto Service 7455 Sujen Ct. Mechanicsville, VA 23111 730-1674 AND IS NOW OPERATING UNDER J & J BODY SHOP & AUTOMOTIVE JOE DOAK has stayed on to manage the mechanical work and state inspections.

Breakfast for lunch Most kids go ga-ga over breakfast foods. Use that to your advantage, sending them in with egg-bacon-cheese bagel sandwiches, or some cereal to which they can add milk bought from the cafeteria. Thin pancakes can be rolled and stuffed with fruit in a crepe style that makes for a tempting treat.
