STOPS AT EVERY HOME IN TOWN

Delegate takes issue with claims about roads funds

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local HANOVER — County Administrator Cecil R. “Rhu�

Harris Jr. told the Hanover County Board of Supervisors that a list of Fiscal Year 2017 initiatives has been effectively cleared as he presented his latest FY18 goals for approval at last week’s meeting.

One of the initiatives cited in that list was to establish possible revenue streams to fund future county road construction and improvements.

Harris said the county has initiated a process to contact neighboring localities and towns and encourage coalition to plan and identify funding for secondary road needs. “I think it’s been pretty evident‌ that our transportation funding falls short of meeting Hanover County’s needs right now, and, as best we can tell, appears to fall short in the

future,� Harris said “We have identified that we have significant road needs in the future and we are looking at the possibility of what funding might be there for that.�

The board unanimously approved a resolution last

Del. Christopher K. Peace, R-97, also has been involved

in efforts to gain approval for important county projects like the completion of the U.S. 360 project.

When Peace learned of the county’s concerns, he penned a letter to county officials clarifying the state’s system of prioritizing projects. “I contacted the county in February about their concerns and followed with a meeting with the chairman, county administrator and attorney, and Mike Flagg,� Peace said.

Del. Buddy Fowler, R-55, and Virginia Department of Transportation engineer Rob Cherry also attended that meeting.

Peace left that meeting with a clear understanding of a path forward to make the county’s case to the Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB). “The action from that meeting was for me to work through my peers on the CTB,

K-9 Scout has a nose for helping the HCSO

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor HANOVER – Scout is sweet and loving, but she also is a bloodhound on a mission as a K-9 member of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office.

With those big eyes, floppy ears and constantly wagging tail, it’s easy to lose sight of the skills she possesses – and that’s because of her relationship with her handler, Deputy S.J. Mahler. The two have formed an unbreakable bond and the affection is mutual. “I got her in December of 2015 when she was 8 weeks old,� Mahler said. “I got her on a Saturday and she started training on Monday.� see SCOUT, pg. 4

Scout and Deputy S.J. Mahler have become quite a team since they started training when she was 8 weeks old.

The Local Pick:

Camp Invention STEM program slated for July Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com ECHANICSVILLE - Camp Invention, a nationally recognized, nonprofit summer enrichment camp program, is coming to St. Paul’s Baptist Church the week of July 24-27.

Camp Invention is a program of the National Inventors Hall of Fame® — a nonprofit organization dedicated to recognizing inventors and invention, promoting creativity, and advancing the spirit of innovation and entrepreneurship — and supported by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

What makes the camp unique is that the curriculum is inspired by some of the nation’s most brilliant minds — the Inductees of the National Inventors Hall of Fame.

For students entering kindergarten through sixth grade, Camp Invention is a weeklong adventure that turns the summer from ordinary to extraordinary through hands-on problem solving, collaboration, and the use of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

Inventive young minds can exercise their creativity and use their imagination, all while learning and developing new skills they typically don’t get to use in the classroom.

Children are empowered to have big ideas while they take on challenges that inspire them to question, brainstorm, work as a team and build amazing invention prototypes.

“Parents should send their children to Camp Invention because it encourages children to think, solve and create!” said Tracy M., mother of three campers. “Teamwork is encouraged while individual strengths are fostered. My children gained a deeper love for science and engi-

M

neering, confidence to try new and innovative ideas, made new friendships, and learned new science vocabulary and concepts.”

This year’s fresh, action-packed Camp Invention curriculum features several handson modules: — Duct Tape Billionaire™: Campers design duct tape products they can market and sell to mock investors; — Have a Blast™: Children build hightech Bubble Blasters and compete as a team in friendly air battles that use physics to boost their advantage; — Mission Space Makers™: Teams hatch eggs, sprout living plants and grow crystal trees, all while on a mission to locate and prepare a new planet for human habitation; and — Operation Keep Out™: Campers learn to reverse engineer old machines and devices, and use their parts to create the ultimate Spy Gadget Alarm Box. All local Camp Invention programs are facilitated and taught by certified educators who reside and teach in the community.

Camp Invention serves more than 130,000 students every year and partners with more than 1,400 schools and districts across the nation.

For more information, or to find the camp nearest you, visit campinvention.org.

About Camp Invention: Camp Invention is the only nationally recognized summer program focused on creativity, innovation, real-world problemsolving and the spirit of invention. Through hands-on programming, Camp Invention encourages children entering kindergarten through sixth grade to explore science, technology, engineering and mathematics curriculum inspired by some of the world’s great inventors.

SCOUT Continued from pg. 1

Scout and her brother Cojak were introduced on The Local’s Facebook page on Jan. 13, 2016. Cojak’s handler is Deputy Braxton Reed.

Now 18 months old, Scout still has some “puppy” type tendencies – that is, until it’s time to go to work. Mahler said she knows the difference in when they’re staying at home and when they’re leaving for work. She notices his attire, and, if he’s in uniform, she heads to the vehicle and the door she always enters.

While Scout is a part of the Mahler family, she has a kennel outside. The training instruc-

tions explain that bloodhounds, which are trained to be scent specific, need to remain outside of a home.

When Mahler and Scout first met, the two trained for a year to become state certified.

With a smile, Mahler immediately said, “Dec. 15, 2016, was when we got certified.”

The training is in phases, starting with a runner or the person who’s going to hide.

“We would take someone that has a lot of scents, like a baseball cap that he wears and put it 10 feet in front of Scout.” To entice her, Mahler said, Vienna sausage or a hot dog would be waved in front of her.

Once the harness is put on her, she knows it’s time to go

that time she’s realized that ‘Every time he gives me that command this harness is put on me, and there’s something I’m supposed to go find.’ ” “After two months or so of doing it the easy way, then it’s ‘I just smelled something. Where is it?’ That’s when they start using their nose. Those are the basics,” Mahler added.

Then it’s time to ramp up the training and get into what Mahler refers to as “the hard stuff with them, where they have to scent discriminate.” He said bloodhounds are “scent specific dogs – that’s the only scent they’re going to look for.”

He said bloodhounds “need a scent article to work off of and it can be anything that your scent was on: car door handles, keys, hairbrushes.

to work. Mahler said he would “give her that scent article and then she runs and jumps on it and gets a reward.”

That part of the training lasts for about a month.

“Then we do the same thing but we have the runner go out of sight,” Mahler said.

His steps would be similar to the first part of training in that he would entice her while the “suspect” would go behind the corner of a building and disappear. “She associates ‘I need to find that person now. How do I do that? I use my nose for that.”

That also took about a month.

The next step is working with a “suspect” “completely out of sight.” In that training, Scout never hears or sees the person. She is told by command when she needs to work. “ ‘Find a man’ is the command I use,” Mahler said. “And over

ing system.

“Citizens will be able to see how we’ve spent their money,” Harris said. Recent upgrades to aging county software systems in many departments enabled the vendor payment system to be installed.

After initially allocating $5.4 million for the school’s requested technology plan, Harris said those efforts will continue in 2018.

For the past decade, Hanover County has conducted a citizens’ survey in three-year intervals to gauge citizen satisfaction with county services.

The survey allows county officials to monitor progress and determine whether the county is “progressing, standing still or dropping back.”

board regarding the status of his FY 2017 initiatives, including the successful transition from the old court buildings to the new courthouse.

“We built it, we opened it, and we’ve even shaken out the bugs,” Harris said.

He also addressed another item on his FY17 list, a plan to review long-term road improvements and funding.

Last month, the board decided to contact neighboring locales to establish coalitions to enhance state road funding.

In what comes as a relief to many Hanover residents, the Atlee Station Road extension is moving forward with selection of a bid to compete the project.

“This is a major project for us and we are well underway,” Harris said.

Another item checked off

from the FY17 was the board’s efforts to support the school board in its efforts to upgrade technology for county students and teachers.

Harris pointed to programs like the recent Governor’s School for CTE, the College Academy and the opening of the Specialty Center as major accomplishments in that area.

With the first meeting scheduled for May 24 at Randolph-Macon College, the board also achieved its goal of establishing a plan to update the county’s current Comprehensive Plan.

In other news, Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley, Beaverdam District, and Harris will represent Hanover on the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) citizen advisory committee formed to study alternatives to the planned high-speed rail route through western Hanover County. Citizens Linwood Atkinson and Harry Carlisle also will represent the county on the panel.

The committee will make recommendations to the DGRT, which, in turn, will forward those sentiments to the federal Rail Department, which is tasked with making the final decisions regarding what path the proposed rail line will follow.

There has been substantial opposition to both routes initially proposed for the Hanover segment of the project. Both Ashland residents and stakeholders who live along the western by-pass alternative have formed citizens action groups in opposition to the project and its route through Hanover.

HANOVER — County Administration Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. presented his version of the county’s wish list as he introduced his Fiscal Year 2018 initiatives to the Hanover County Board of Supervisors at last Wednesday’s regular meeting.

Harris told the board that an update to many of the county’s outdated computer programs is in full swing.

The c ou nt y ’s Comprehensive Plan is due for an update and that process begins in earnest this month.

“The heavier lifting begins now,” Harris said regarding the extensive process that includes a citizens advisory committee, numerous community and stakeholder meetings and a series of public hearings.

The process will include several local government entities, including the EDA (Economic Development Authority) and the Hanover County School Board, and will examine issues like current density, population growth and balance between rural and urban development.

Harris also listed as a priority the start of the old Circuit Court building renovation. “We have that budgeted and planned and we are well underway,” he said.

The Commissioner of Revenue, Treasurer’s Office and Finance Department will occupy the space vacated when the new courthouse opened earlier this year.

After five years, Harris said it’s time to review and update the county’s Strategic Plan, an outline that overviews the county’s human services, economic development and stewardship.

“We want to make sure the current plan is pertinent and relevant,” Harris said.

In an effort to further increase transparency in government, Harris said the county is moving toward an online vendor payment track-

Message remains the same: say I love you

Dodd’s widow: farm will continue as he wanted

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor There were about 400 of us who crossed the stage at what was then known as Logan Memorial Fieldhouse when we accepted our diplomas as members of the Logan High School Class of 1974.

Sadly, that number has dwindled with a loss of about 70 in nearly 43 years.

We lost two classmates a day apart — Friday and Saturday, April 21-22. One was in my homeroom for three years in high school and the other had been a good friend since 7th grade.

Their sudden deaths awakened emotions in what seemed to be the majority of our class. I have seen posts and received phone calls all with the

ending “I love you.” We share a special bond and as the years have passed it has strengthened.

I think it was last year when I wrote about the importance of telling people you love them. You never know if it will be the last opportunity you have to say those three words.

As I left my father’s hospital room — and what would be the last time I would see him alive — I told him I loved him. He said he loved me too.

My sister was in a coma with hospice care at her home but I kept talking to her about our childhood, becoming closer as we aged (I was the one who had to finally decide to be a mature adult), and how thankful I was that we were sisters.

I tell my mother several times a day that I love

her. I end phone calls, emails and texts with family and friends by telling them.

“The last time will come and go and we will not know it was the last time.” That’s the inscription my brother-in-law had placed on the tombstone at the grave he will one day share with my sister. It was her quote.

They, like my parents, had a great love.

I still mourn my two classmates and grieve for their families. Both were loved and knew it.

That’s our only hope for a better world — letting people know how you feel about them.

Those three words — I love you — will bring joy, ease pain, and remind us of what’s important.

All you need is love . . .

Remembering Wednesdays and a special road trip

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist There’s something about Hump Day that offers a faint glimmer of hope in the fattest part of the work week. Wednesday night provides optimism that this week’s task is almost complete, or another brick in the wall toward retirement has been placed.

Although Hump Day is enjoying somewhat of a resurgence in popularity largely due to a popular advertising campaign, Wednesdays can never

attain the status they held for me as a freshman in college.

Souhwood College was situated in the middle of the North Carolina Bible Belt, located in the southeastern portion of the state. At noon on Wednesdays, everything in the small town of Salemburg closed. It was an occurrence that was mirrored in hundreds of small towns throughout the Tarheel State, and many of its neighbors.

To some of us, it was an almost unbelievable tradition that evoked a

myriad of emotions, some of it best described as frustration. You couldn’t buy much in the town of Salemburg on a normal day, but nothing was available after noon on Wednesdays.

To the majority of good Christians in Sampson County, it marked an evening of church going and Bible study. The reaction was different on our small campus. Southwood had its own traditions and Wednesdays were an integral part of that heritage.

After two days in a dry county that sold no alcohol except in back rooms

and barns, Wednesdays meant a trip to Dunn, strategically located in a county more generous with its ABC (Alcohol Beverage Control) laws.

The campus emptied on Wednesday shortly after dinner was ended. The 30-mile trip was ripe with dangers, a narrow two-lane road that twisted and turned through Spivey’s Corner and crossed the county line shortly afterward.

My name is Jane Dodd and March 20 was the darkest day of my life. That afternoon, my husband Robby passed away suddenly. At 1 p.m., he was with friends enjoying himself; at 3 p.m., he was gone. He was where he wanted to be, doing what he wanted to be doing, and he didn’t suffer. GOD IS GOOD.

By Thursday word had spread of his death. Someone (we don’t know who) put a large cross in front of the packing shed. I didn’t know the extent of his influence. Thursday, if you were part of the more than 450 people who came to the church, you know.

People came from New Jersey, North Carolina, Eastern Shore, Northern Neck, South and Southwest Virginia and all places in between.

The family would like to THANK each of you for your love and concern for us. A big thanks to our church family for all they did that week and are still doing for us today.

Dodd’s Acres Farms will continue to have things just as Robby would want us to.

Tomatoes and all the other things are in the field doing well.

Thanks again for everything.

Next Tuesday, May 9, at 7 p.m. the school board has the opportunity to vote on the proposed 10-point grading scale, ensuring that Hanover students will join the 90% of Virginia students who are already on a 10-point scale, beginning next school year.

This potential vote follows hundreds of emails and voicemails, a report by the Grading Scale Focus Group (comprised of teachers, administrators and parents) and multiple public comments to the School Board – overwhelmingly in support of this change.

Hanover residents have shared the impact our more stringent grading scale is having on students as they apply for scholarships.

Proponents of the change

have pointed to the potential impact on college admissions, good driver discounts, NCAA eligibility, Honors programs and housing.

We have spoken out about leveling the playing field especially for those students who are working hard but still struggling on our current 7point scale.

It’s our sincere hope the school board will take action next week on the proposed scale put forth by the Superintendent’s office last month.

Please join us at 7 p.m. next Tuesday, May 9, at 200 Berkley St. in Ashland to show the school board that this issue is important to our community.

way they do in training so that when they come out in the real world [they’ll be ready].�

Sgt. James R. Cooper, public information for Col. David R. Hines, sheriff, accompanied Mahler to talk about Scout.

Mahler used Cooper as an example in how he gets a particular scent for Scout. “I’ll use James’ cell phone and we’ll have someone else hold it. He goes off and hides.

I put Scout in her harness and put somebody else there to eliminate that scent. No is the command. Give her the scent of the person we’re looking for.�

When Scout is told, “It’s not you,� Mahler said “She’s eliminated that scent out of her sensory.�

On Monday, April 17, Mahler and Scout trained in Louisa “to try to make things

practical in terms of how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to work in the real world on the push guard of a police cruiser.â&#x20AC;? The push guard is that piece on the front bumper area.

With that exercise, Mahler said theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have someone sit on the push guard, a practice common among law enforcement agencies, â&#x20AC;&#x153;to make things practical â&#x20AC;&#x201C; how itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to work in the real world.â&#x20AC;?

A recent training exercise in Louisa included having someone sit on the push guard and a trail was simulated. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An officer took his handcuffs and threw them on the floor,â&#x20AC;? Mahler said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the scenario: We have my cell phone and my officer comes up on scene.

Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a suspicious man; we have him sitting on our push guard. My partner drops his handcuffs then he [the suspicious man] took off running and I canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get my partner on the radio. You could either use the handcuffs to go search for

the officer or get a scent off that push bumper. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never done before,â&#x20AC;? he said about Scout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I told her to find the man and we found him about a half mile in the woods.â&#x20AC;?

Mahler emphasized that trailing is not tracking. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Tracking is a ground disturbance,â&#x20AC;? with German Shepherds being used. He said they are patrol dogs and track. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you go out there and push the ground, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re forming a track â&#x20AC;&#x201D; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what patrol dogs work off of. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re working off dead skin cells.â&#x20AC;?

He also said that dead skin cells are being dropped all the time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trails move, wind blows. We did one at Pole Green Park where a trainer and another handler went out.

It was about a mile long â&#x20AC;&#x201D; started up by the school (Pole Green Elementary) down by the horse farm and the trainer went behind. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a big dumpster down there and he

lay down for about 10 minutes.â&#x20AC;?

Mahler and Scout went back to the park about 21 days later, starting up by the school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She found him. They bounce from side to side on the road; scent is planted everywhere.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve used ears of corn as a scent, so their job is human scent specific. Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking for a specific human scent.â&#x20AC;?

The K-9s at the Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office join their handlers in investigating homicides and robberies. With homicides, Mahler said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll start where the other person ran from, looking for which direction the suspect went.â&#x20AC;? He also said that sometimes theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll locate evidence along the way.â&#x20AC;?

The bloodhounds arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t particularly trained to find evidence, but, obviously, Mahler said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It has that personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scent on it.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had successful finds.

It was a DUI crash hit and run

ROAD

Even Joe Reed made it through the year without incident, comfortably assuming his new role as passenger on Wednesday nights. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve often wondered how long that classic sports car sat in that field. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four dead in Ohio, Four Dead in Ohio,â&#x20AC;? blasted through an over-juiced stereo system at The Village Inn, the student hangout in Dunn that attracted students from several neighboring colleges that were, coincidentally, also located in dry counties.

Peace symbols and jeans patched with portions of Old Glory were the standard uniform of the day, and Wednesdays attracted a diverse collection of kids from all over the country.

Somehow, Dunn made us feel like real college students as pitchers of beer mostly spilled before they reached the table.

The drive home was even more frightening on a high-

way laden with state patrolmen searching for lawbreakers, especially those with out of state plates.

Again, through good luck and Grace, I made it through the year without incident.

Following my freshman year, I moved on to a large campus in a college town where every night was Wednesday. That should have been an immediate indicator of my future performance on the academic level, but I suppose all of us must live and learn.

Point is, Hump Day was never the same, and all these years removed, still isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not sure if college kids pile into cars on Wednesday and head for parties or gathering spots.

I suspect they do. But, they have no idea who Joe Reed was, and no clue of an ancient automobile called a TR4A â&#x20AC;Ś or that infamous midnight run to Dunn.

was wrought with wrecked vehicles, close calls and amazing escapes, but none spoke louder than the permanent reminder that sat beside our dormitory.

Joe Reedâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s TR4A rested in a pile beside the entrance steps on the side of the building, a permanent reminder of that could happen on the perilous journey to Dunn.

The faded British racing green paint was barely visible through the crushed ball of chrome and rubber with little semblance to its once dignified splendor. It could never be repaired, but it could serve as a warning to those who didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take the trip seriously â&#x20AC;Ś and it stood out like a lighthouse to all of us who made the return trip to campus early the next morning.

Thankfully, everyone who departed usually returned.

where a guy crashed through someone’s fence on a farm and we found the guy out in the woods. I went up to the car, took a couple of gauge pads and wiped down the scent of the vehicle, and that’s how we tracked that guy down in the woods.”

Mahler said he and Scout “found a 15-year-old in the west end of the county that ran away from home.”

The K-9s, he said, are often used for finding missing people.

Mahler’s wife and two children have welcomed Scout into their family. Talking about his kids, he said, “They’re young, but they’re good with her.”

Scout’s home is a 10x10foot kennel with a roof. To keep her comfortable during the summer months, Mahler places box fans “in there to help keep mosquitoes and stuff away.”

Mahler said that Scout’s

primary purpose is to understand she’s a working dog and not a family pet.

“All she eats is dog food, she doesn’t get table scraps.”

“She knows if I go outside in the back yard with shorts and a t-shirt on — she sees me she’s like ‘We’re not doing anything. When she sees me in uniform, she knows we’re going to work. She will pull me to the car. She usually gets in the back left door and she goes and sits and waits for me to open it.”

When Scout was paired with Mahler, she got a handler with an impressive record with the Sheriff ’s Office. The deputy joined Col. David R. Hines’ department in 2012 and was named Rookie of the Year in 2013 for his first year of service. In 2012, Region 4 presented him with the MADD Award. He was in the top 10% of DUI arrests that year, with a total of 47.

Mahler recently received the Meritorious Award for

stopping a robbery in progress. He and three other officers were involved in the case.

Scout was in the vehicle as always.

Why did Mahler want to become a K-9 handler? “I grew up with dogs in my household.”

He pointed out that dogs have been used in police work for more than a century. “They are a very specific tool no human can do what they do.”

He keeps an eye on Scout as she roams around the interview site. Their bond is obvious and the respect is mutual.

“Just being able to work with one to help the public and the tools, the assets that they have – that’s the kind of dog that I see working,” Mahler said.

“Outside of family and friends, there’s no better friend to man than a dog and they are loyal – extremely loyal.”

“The best part about tryouts for K-9 – when you look back on it – is praising them,” Mahler said. With Scout, he

said her energy is reminiscent of a 3-year-old in a candy store.

They feed off that praise.

And, there’s no mistaking that Scout’s a bloodhound – that howl will reverberate.

Of course, she goes into silent mode when it’s time to work.

Col. Hines is proud of his K-9 staff and has ensured that more dogs have been added.

“Our K-9 program is utilized in many different situations to include article searches for criminal evidence, highrisk occurrences, and locating lost children and senior adults, to name a few,” he said.

“Our K-9 team receives extensive training in multiple patrol techniques such as tracking, apprehension, and building searches and are certified annually through the Virginia Police Workdog Association,” Hines added.

“Our canines and handlers have proven to be an extremely effective tool in serving the citizens of Hanover County,” the sheriff said.

and Janie Hayes. These individuals displayed some of the finest examples of how emergency communications personnel work together during a time of crisis and performed as a great team under such a stressful event.

Tiffany Dowdy was recognized as the Communications Training Officer of the Year for 2016 and Supervisor Preston Main was recognized as the Supervisor of the Year for 2016.

Senior Communications Officer Jude Dawson received the sixth annual Heins “Dedication to Duty” award for receiving the highest number of peer recognition cards for the second year in a row. This award is named after retired director Phil Heins who was present for the award.

Several personnel were recognized for their years of

service: Curt Shaffer, director (5 years), Communications Officers Lisa Bryant, Jillian Thomas and Supervisor Preston Main (10 years) and Angie Conley, Senior Administrative Assistant (25 years).

The department also recognized Communications Officers Eddie Eacho, Becky Newcomb, Brandon Buchanan and Judson Smith for their outstanding performance utilizing the department’s automated Emergency Police, Fire and Medical Dispatch Protocols for having the highest annual EMD/EFD/EPD score’s for 2016.

EDA OKs move for R-MC to get lower interest rate

By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND — Ashland’s Economic Development Authority (EDA) approved a resolution to an amendment of Randolph-Macon College’s bond, allowing the college to take advantage of a lower interest rate.

On Thursday, April 27, the college asked to refund the Series 2011 Note that it

has from the EDA, so that the interest rate will decrease from 3.21% to 2.44% and push out the bank’s put option date from 2021 to 2027.

The put date is a provision that allows R-MC to pay back the loan early.

Joe Topham, business retention and expansion manager for the town, had said on April 18 about the request that the amendment process won’t

Faith Atkinson is a fifth grade student who is homeschooled. She said she enjoys reading in her spare time.

“The Incredibles” is her favorite movie.

“I’m an animal person and I have a dog named Miracle,” Faith said.

When asked what she favors about The Kids Local, she said, “The monthly contest.”

former members of the GA (General Assembly), and try to secure funding for 360 in this 6-year plan round of smart scale,” Peace said.

With nothing finalized, those efforts appear to have borne fruit, and the 360 project that originally ranked out of the new Smart Scale scoring, is getting a second look. A decision could come as early as next week when the CTB holds a public hearing regarding the project.

“I’m hopeful,” board chair Angela Kelly-Weicek, Chickahominy District, said after the April 26 board meeting.

According to sources, the CTB has an additional $10 million to fund projects for the current 6-year cycle, and finalists for those funds include U.S. 360 and one other project in the region.

Peace explained that state funding for roads is at a 20year high, but the new system of prioritizing projects is causing some dismay among localities.

“While Hanover might be receiving reduced allocations from the secondary roads fund (which in essence no longer exists and has been subsumed into the District Grant program and state of good repair program), the county is receiv-

One of five members who represent Hanover in the General Assembly, Peace does recognize the county’s needs pertaining to road construction and said the new system allows the state to prioritize projects in a more efficient way.

“This program is about picking the right transportation projects for maximum statewide, rather than narrow parochial, investment,” Peace said in the letter sent to Hanover County supervisors.

Peace said he supports the county’s efforts to gain regional support for road projects, and forming a transportation authority like Tidewater and Northern Virginia could produce positive results.

“That regional concept is something people are starting to talk about for Richmond,” Peace said. “I think that’s a healthy conversation.”

Regional options for funding could be a car tax or formation.

“If there is a local opportunity for revenues to go toward roads fully or even on a match basis, I think that’s a productive conversation to have,” Peace said. “I think it’s not productive to say the state is cutting funding for roads which is just not true.”

cated that the new Smart Scale system should improve transparency and provide more equitable funding for requests, funding large projects in the first years, and addressing smaller requests in later years.

He also pointed out the need for state and local officials to pool efforts to solve transportation issues.

“I don’t mind working with counties if that can lead to real consensus on a regional solution,” Peace said.

“The people need to know that state and local officials are actually working together even though it may be more behind the scenes,” he added.

Henry District supervisor Sean Davis, who also serves as vice chair of the board, agrees that the solutions can and will come from a cooperative spirit between state and local legislators.

“Localities absolutely want collaboration with the state,” Davis said. “I can’t think of anything we would want more.”

Davis considers the process of identifying and researching options to address the local road funding issue a prudent and responsible action by local elected officials.

“Collaboration serves the best interests of our shared constituency and only makes sense,” Davis said. “Recognizing the needs at the local level and then working with localities in a joint effort to address those needs is our strongest desire.

Friends of Hanover Dog Parks was incorporated in April of 2013 and recognized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in September of 2013.

Successful fundraising resulted in the construction of Pole Green Dog Park, which had its grand opening in September 2015. The Annex - intended for dogs who are older, who may have physical limitations or are of a qui-

vides in her practice include counsel for special disclosure, bank counsel, borrower’s and underwriter’s counsel.

In a staff report concerning the financial impact of the matter, it stated that the amendment as it was proposed would have no negative or positive fiscal effect on Ashland’s Economic Development Authority.

Prior to the April 27 meeting, town staff had deferred the amendment request to the

recommendation of Johnson.

Authority members voted unanimously to approve the resolution of the requested amendment to refund the bond.

Later in the meeting, they listened to an economic development update for the Town of Ashland given by Topham.

Resulting from the town’s issuance of a Conditional Use Permit for a Wawa to occupy an underutilized property to operate a fueling station and convenience store that sits

Symphony announces R-MC Arts Council Award Fisk as executive director.

This agreement extends Fisk’s contract through 2020 and carries the Symphony though its 60th Anniversary Season and the completion of

its current Strategic Plan.

During Fisk’s tenure, the Richmond Symphony has grown to be one of Virginia’s premier performing arts orga-

at the corner of Washington Highway (U.S. 1) and England Street (U.S. 54), he explained that a couple of businesses in that vicinity will have to be “pushed over.”

Council voted 4-1 to approve Wawa’s CUP on March 7.

Virginia Barbeque, located at 600 England St. and Tompkins Jewelers at 266 N. Washington Hwy. are having to relocate their businesses elsewhere in Ashland.

Topham said the town has been working with Virginia Barbecue and Sheila Tompkins, the owner of the jewelry store to find properties in town for them to move their establish-

ments.

He told members at the meeting that it looked as though there might be an opportunity on Washington Highway for the jewelry store to relocate, but noted they were continuing to work on that.

In addition, Topham also said that they’ve been introduced to some great opportunities along U.S. 54 from certain prospects that would be new to the town. “[I have] nothing solid to report on yet, but we have gotten some encouraging interests. Our staff on the planning side has been working with these people,” he said.

Topham also told the EDA

members that grocery retail has been a high-level of importance to his team the past several months.

“We feel like we’ve been making a little bit of progress in that area; we’ve been reaching out to those who do any kind of grocery, whether it’s a small operation or a larger one here in our region. We would like to see Ashland not lose the three stores that it has now – [as in] not go below that number if you count Walmart, Food Lion, and Martin’s.”

Topham also said this is an especially important part of what staff in the town’s economic development department is pursuing.

St. George gets job done at plate, on mound

By Brad Bess Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – Following Atlee’s postgame huddle, Peyton St. George walked off the Raiders’ field with a softball still in her hand.

It wasn’t to remember the 12 strikeouts or the shutout she had just pitched.

It was the ball she had hit over the left-field wall in the bottom of the second inning, the game’s only run, and the reason No. 1 Atlee downed rival and No. 2 Lee-Davis for the second time this season Friday.

“Usually I get a little eager, jump on the first pitch or pitches that look good but aren’t my pitch,” said St. George, a Duke commit and the 2016 All-Metro player of the year, after the 1-0 victory.

“I just waited on two balls, hit my pitch, and it came out the way I wanted.”

“I know my team’s working out there to get run support for me,” St. George said. “Feels good knowing I can help a little myself on the offensive side as well.”

St. George’s leadoff blast was one of two hits the Raiders mustered off Confederates starter Kayley Scott, who struck out six in as many innings.

Kelly Warren’s bunt single with two down in the fifth was the Raiders’ other hit. But after a walk, Scott got a strikeout to

down the right-field line to load the bases with one out.

“At first, I got a little tense, I started panicking a little bit, but I just kind of focused on (Amanda Bohannon, Atlee’s catcher) like there was no outs, no one on,” St. George said.

“Didn’t really think about the situation. Just tried to throw to the glove.

“In that moment, I just cleared my mind and did what I knew I could do.”

Her 12th strikeout followed, and the game ended when she fielded a grounder for the final out.

The win moved the twotime defending state champions’ record to 11-1. Lee-Davis fell to 8-2, with both losses coming at the hands of the Raiders.

It was the first game at Atlee’s field since the installation of a huge sign hanging from the back of the announcers’ table behind home plate. The sign lists the years of the team’s three state championships: 2002, 2015 and 2016.

There’s room for two more years.

Hanover edges Patriots, 2-1 MECHANICSVILLE – You could call it a multi-armed pitcher’s duel. When Patrick Henry traveled to Hanover for a cross-county baseball game Friday night, both teams threw three pitchers. Both sets of pitchers yielded few hits. Both sets of pitchers yielded roughly the same number of walks. Both sets of pitchers yielded roughly the same number of runs.

But Hanover’s pitchers got a wee bit more offensive support than their Patriot counterparts as the Hawks squeaked away with a 2-1 victory.

A big factor in the differences between the offensive support may result from the strikeout column. Hanover’s pitchers – Josh Plummer, Antonio Balducci and Camden Grimes – struck out 13 Patrick Henry batters.

“It was close. … They had two hits, we had one hit,” said Patrick Henry head baseball coach Sam Hart. “We’ve got to be able to put the ball in play against quality pitching.

Obviously, they have quality pitching.”

All three of Hanover’s pitchers had multiple strikeouts. Plummer had six in 32/3 innings of work. Balducci had four in 2-1/3 innings, and Grimes struck out the side as he closed the seventh inning for

ST. GEORGE Continued from pg. 30

you love this sport and why you love to be out here — why fans love to come watch it. It’s this kind of game that you want to

the Hawks.

While Patrick Henry’s pitchers did not tally as many strikeouts, they got Hanover batters to put the ball in play.

“Their pitchers threw great,” said Hanover head coach Charlie Dragum. “They did a great job of keeping us off balance throughout the course of the night.”

The Patriot pitchers also had the defense behind them to get the outs they needed – especially when Hanover runners tried to steal. Patrick Henry caught five Hawks in the attempt.

“We try to be aggressive, and if you’re going to try to steal bases, you’re going to get thrown out,” Dragum said. “I wish we had done a better job – we weren’t particularly smart – but I’m not worried about getting thrown out because a lot of times the aggressive style helps us. We’ve got to take the good with the bad. … You can’t steal second with a hand on first.”

Hart was hoping to be conservative with his pitching staff – the Patriots have a busy week this week with a busy calendar of regularly scheduled and makeup games.

“We accomplished what we wanted to pitching-staff wise,” Hart said. “It’s been 10 days since we’ve played. We have four games next week – Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday,

see, that we want to be a part of. It’s nice to be on the upside of it when it’s all said and done, and a seventh inning like that only boosts our integrity and the toughness that we have to overcome mistakes and come out here and win a game.”

Logano goes from last in line to Victory Lane

By Billy Fellin Richmond Suburban News HENRICO – Thanks to a transmission change, Team Penske’s Joey Logano had to start at the back of the pack for the Toyota Owners 400 at Richmond International Raceway.

It took more than 300 laps, but Logano worked his way to the front and grabbed the checkered flag in his 300th Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series start.

“Coming from the back and it being my 300th start, it feels really good,” Logano said in Victory Lane. “I was driving my guts out there. It’s something to be very proud of with our team’s execution there. We had a good restart to get a good enough cushion.”

Logano is the fifth driver in series history to win his 300th start. The win is Logano’s second at RIR and his first in 2017.

After stage one winner Matt Kenseth, who dominated the early part of the race, cut a tire on Lap 366 to bring out a caution, both Logano and teammate Brad Keselowski stayed out on slightly older tires.

Chesterfield native Denny Hamlin thought that was his chance at a win.

“We knew we had to do something different to beat those guys,” he said. “We had to hope they didn’t pit, and they didn’t, but we had another caution and that screwed that up.”

Logano got out ahead on the ensuing restart and was able to keep Keselowski, Kyle Busch and Kyle Larson behind him.

The cautions were not done, however, as Ryan Blaney hit the wall after contact with Kurt Busch on Lap 375, which brought the leaders down pit road, while six cars stayed out.

Coming to pit road, Kyle

road, but was behind Larson, Ricky Stenhouse Jr., Chris Buescher, Martin Truex Jr., David Ragan and Cole Whitt, the six cars that stayed out.

On the restart on Lap 382, Larson got away from the gaggle of cars behind him, but Logano was able to clear the slower cars and caught Larson

on Lap 384.

Keselowski worked his way through the traffic, passing Hamlin with 10 laps remaining.

But, by that time, Logano had opened up a large gap on his teammate and while Keselowski was able to shrink the gap, there were not enough laps to attempt a pass.

“It was disappointing not to bring (the win) home, but that’s how these things shake out,” Keselowski said. “I got behind two or three cars that I lapped six or seven times today. We

were bottled up on the restart.

We were a little faster than Joey but he had a straightaway on us.

Hamlin finished third, Stenhouse finished fourth and Kevin Harvick finished fifth.

“We didn’t have the speed the other cars had,” said Hamlin, who led 57 laps. “We optimized our day the best we could. We finished right where we should have.”

Stenhouse carefully managed his pit stops to come back after he hit the wall on Lap 65.

“I made it a lot of work for us there getting in the fence later in that first stage and really we were fighting back all day from there,” he said. “[We] had a really good car on the long run.

It was a no-brainer there to stay out that last caution. I was glad it came out because I thought we missed the opportunity the run before to stay out.”

Jamie McMurray finished sixth, Ryan Newman finished seventh, Kurt Busch finished eighth, Aric Almirola finished ninth and Truex Jr. finished 10th.

The final 100 laps or so were completely different than the first 300.

Kenseth dominated the early stages of the race and won the first stage for his first stage win of the year. Kenseth also lead the most laps on the day with 164.

Keselowski, who led 110 laps, started to reel him in and finally passed him in the second stage on Lap 164.

Keselowski won the second stage, his first stage win of the season.

At the start of stage three, Hamlin and Harvick battled for the lead with Keselowski third and Kenseth fourth.

Larson leads at the right time in ToyotaCare 250

By Billy Fellin Richmond Suburban News HENRICO – Kyle Larson led just eight laps under green during the ToyotaCare 250 NASCAR XFinity Series race at Richmond International Raceway Saturday.

But, thanks to crossing the overtime line in first during overtime with Ryan Reed crashing behind him, Larson grabbed the win over Justin Allgaier.

“I was glad to see them wreck behind me,” Larson said.

“I didn’t want to go another lap as Justin had the dominant car.

I didn’t expect to be the winner. I ran better than I thought I would. I know I won, but I feel like I still struggle (at Richmond). I’ve got to get better, but all-in-all a good day for us.”

Allgaier led 157 laps and was the dominant car on the day. He won the second stage of the race and was cruising in the third stage with his teammate Elliott Sadler trying to run him down on fresher tires.

Sadler had almost caught Allgaier with 15 laps to go before B.J. McLeod spun on the backstretch on Lap 238 to bring out a caution, which Sadler did not want to see.

The field pitted for new tires and Ty Dillon won the race off pit road.

Then, the madness began.

On the restart, Dillon jumped ahead of Allgaier and the rest of the field.

In turn four, Daniel Suarez, Kyle Benjamin, William Byron

and Brennan Poole were all caught in a crash that brought out the red flag on Lap 246.

When the race went back under caution, NASCAR ruled

that Dillon had jumped the restart on Lap 243 and was sent to the rear of the field.

Larson inherited the lead from Dillon’s penalty, with

Allgaier second.

The green flag fell for overtime and Larson and Allgaier battled side-by-side through the first two corners and Larson

worked to Newman’s advantage.

That caution started a chaotic ending to the race, as three more cautions would come out.

passed Allgaier down the backstretch.

Larson was clearly ahead and over the overtime line on the track when the caution flew for Reed spinning and he was declared the winner.

“The restart before the last, we had one taken away from us and there was a lot of confusion there on the caution,” Allgaier said. “It’s bittersweet today, I’m very dejected. That one hurts.

It’s going to hurt for a long

time.”

Allgaier did win the Dash for Cash $100,000 bonus in the race as the highest finishing Dash for Cash driver. It was his second time winning the bonus this season as he won it at Phoenix earlier this year.

Pole sitter Daniel Hemric finished third, Austin Dillon fourth and Ryan Blaney was fifth.

Bubba Wallace finished sixth, Sadler came home seventh, Michael Annett was eighth, Casey Mears was ninth and Spencer Gallagher was 10th.

Hemric led the first seven laps of the race before Allgaier caught him on lap 27.

Austin Dillon started setting a torrid pace soon thereafter, catching Allgaier. Dillon was on cruise control for the remainder of the first stage, bringing home that win.

Allgaier took the lead on the restart to begin the second stage and set sail, dominating the stage and won it.

County athletes shine in track meet at Atlee

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – County track and field athletes were outdoing themselves at a meet at Atlee Wednesday, with season bests and personal records falling nearly everywhere on the Raider’s turf or tracks one cared to look.

Atlee, Hanover, Lee-Davis and Patrick Henry all had their share of winners and top-fives in the meet, which also featured other teams from the Capital District.

On the heels of their win at the Lee-Davis Invitational, the Confederate boys – led by double-winners Brandon Brooks and Connor Scott -- excelled both in field events and on the track. Brooks won both the 110-meter and 300-meter hurdles; Scott won the discus and shot put.

They were joined in the winner column by Christian Gilliam in the 200 dash, Jeremiah in the 800 run, Jamon Coffey in the long jump, Alex Slinkman in the pole vault as well as by the members of the 400 relay team.

Lee-Davis head coach Neil Mathews said that every team had a good day, though.

“It was a perfect night to run,” Mathews said. “All that rain knocked down the pollen and cooled everything off.

When it started and the sun was right on top, it was a little bit sticky out here and it showed, probably, in the mile runs for people. Then, when it cooled down just a little bit, things started going.”

The Lee-Davis girls had their share of winners, too. Simone White won the triple jump, and the Confederates’ 3,200 relay team also won.

Patrick Henry’s girls had a banner day. They were likewise led by a pair of double winners:

spring break,” said Patrick Henry head coach Scott Brown.

“We’re just happy to get back out and have great weather.”

Atlee’s boys dominated the relays, winning both the 1,600and 3,200-meter relays. The Raiders had three individual winners: Cameron Foreman in the 100 dash, Connor Moses in the 3,200 run and Cason Gardner in the high jump.

Atlee’s girls won the 400 relay.

“The weather was good, and you had a lot of good competition,” said Atlee head coach Jim Triemplar. “Everybody here has a good program or good, strong parts to their program.”

Triemplar mixed up his entries a bit to give his athletes a chance to do something different.

“I think it’s always good during the year if you can change Dave Lawrence/The Local things a little bit just to keep it Top, Lee-Davis’ Jeremiah Hankerson (center), Atlee’s Conor Helmick (left) and Hanover’s Nathaniel Good come in for a one-twofun, just so it doesn’t get stale three finish, respectively, in the boys 800-meter run in a track meet at Atlee Wednesday.

Triemplar steps down as Raiders’ track coach coach Triemplar is a part of Atlee High School and how much Atlee High School is a part of coach Triemplar.”

As for Triemplar, he made it clear he is not retiring. He believes he can still contribute and hopes to be coaching in some capacity elsewhere next year. When one sees the way he relates to young athletes – whether from Atlee or another school – it seems a good bet he won’t be leaving the sport any time soon.

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – An era will come to an end at Atlee High School when the Virginia High School League concludes its Group 5A outdoor track and field championships on June 3.

The state championship meet will be the Raiders’ last with Jim Triemplar as Atlee’s head cross country and track and field coach.

Triemplar, who had previous coaching stints at Manchester and Varina high schools, has been Atlee’s head coach since the school opened in 1991. He has coached some of his current students’ parents as well as coached either for or against some of his competing coaches – including Neil Mathews at Lee-Davis.

While Triemplar produced plenty of regional and state champions, Mathews said Triemplar showed his quality as a coach by the number of Capital District and Conference 11 championships the Raiders have won over the years.

“They meant just as much as the state championships,” Mathews said. “The conference and district championships mean that you have a complete team – you coach top to bottom. You have good athletes, you have great athletes, but you worry about your new ones, your young ones. You worry about next year’s team, getting them ready. He does that better than all the other teams. That’s why he’s had such a level of consistency for so long.”

When Mathews took over as head coach at Lee-Davis, he followed Triemplar as one of his primary models.

“When I came into coaching, I said, ‘How do you model your team?’ ” Mathews said. “So I took a little bit from my high school coach, a little bit from

my college coach, and then I took a lot from what the best team in Richmond was doing – that was Jim Triemplar.

“It was a full team. It was track; it was cross country; it was sprints, jumps, hurdles, everything. I tried to model my program after his. As we got competitive with them, he noticed, ‘You’re doing it exactly the way that I did it.’ ” Triemplar has also been a model for Scott Brown, the head track and field coach at Patrick Henry High School.

“I guess he’s been kind of the patriarch of the county as a track coach. … Jim’s been an awesome man to me,” Brown said. “When I first got here, I

looked at him and Jim Holdren (at Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School), at Walter Spain at Hermitage – just looked at their programs, at what they had built. I wanted to mirror Patrick Henry on them and do what they were doing.”

When Atlee was getting ready to open, school officials were looking for a good track and field coach, and Holdren recommended Triemplar as a possible candidate. He does not regret passing the tip on.

“For one, he’s a very knowledgeable coach,” Holdren said.

“Two, he really cares about his kids. I think that makes a lot of difference. … When a coach is like that, I think they are

much more successful. That’s not something you can fake.

The kids know that you genuinely care about them.”

Atlee athletic director Ryan Molloy said Triemplar is a rare find.

“You will be hard pressed to find any coach in today’s day and age that can give 26 years and 78 athletic seasons (fall, winter, spring) of their lives to one school,” Molloy said. “He has lead our cross country and track programs to numerous state, regional, conference, and district championships … both at the team level and through individual competitions. …

Simply put, it is difficult to put into words as to how much

Hanover was not without its winners, either. Makenzie Joiner won the girls 1,600 run and Cireke Allen won the boys triple jump.

“A lot of kids stepped up today,” said Hanover head coach Rich Firth. “We showed some advances with some kids trying different events. … It’s good to see kids who are working hard get rewarded for it.”

CANCER • Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, when in doubt, speak with someone who has more experience than you. It’s a big person who can accept help when it’s needed, and others will be willing to help.

LIBRA • Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, don’t let any opportunity pass you by this week -- even those that may seem like they won’t yield much reward. Everything is a learning opportunity.

CAPRICORN • Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, look at yourself in the mirror and tell yourself that you can handle whatever comes your way.

You are the only one who can derail your plans.

TAURUS • Apr 21/May 21 Discovering all of the answers need not be your goal all the time, Taurus.

Keep in mind that the journey can sometimes be more rewarding than the destination.

LEO • Jul 23/Aug 23 Next week may be a better time to make a big decision, Leo. Coast along for a little bit longer and get a feel for the lay of the land before making your decision.

SCORPIO • Oct 24/Nov 22 Obsessive thoughts will not make the solution to a problem come any easier. It’s better if you clear your head and then maybe the ideas will arrive when you least expect.

AQUARIUS • Jan 21/Feb 18 Someone you wouldn’t normally look to for advice provides some invaluable wisdom in the days ahead, Aquarius. Heed this advice and express your gratitude.

GEMINI • May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, don’t hesitate to let others know how much they mean to you.

Such simple gestures will be appreciated and help you maintain strong relationships with those you love most.

VIRGO • Aug 24/Sept 22 Coming across memorabilia or old photographs may have you thinking about those who came before you, Virgo. It is a good week for introspection and reminiscing.

SAGITTARIUS • Nov 23/Dec 21 Think of something you can do that will be a big risk and out of character, Sagittarius. It may give you a rush of adrenaline this week and pave the way for new interests.

PISCES • Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, instead of focusing on all of the little details, look at the bigger picture. This will prove to be the inspiration you need to stay motivated.
