Hanover Tomato Festival couldn’t keep

38,000 people from making their way to

Pole Green Park on Saturday. And the

Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department,

which started the festival 33 years ago,

should see a profit of $13,000 to $15,000

in Hanover Tomato sales.

Last year, the Black Creek VFD made

about $10,000. On Monday, Hanover

County Parks & Rec director Greg Sager

said the expected increase in profits to

the department “is great it’s all for a good

cause.”

He also said this year’s festival was

“probably our second largest event.” In

he Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office

has started planning for National

Night Out 2011, which will be

observed on Tuesday, Aug. 2.

“National Night

Out is an annual event

designed to strengthen

our communities by

encouraging neighbor-

hoods to engage in stron-

ger relationships with

each other and with their

local law enforcement

partners,” Col. David R.

Hines, sheriff, said. “The

goal is to heighten crime-prevention aware-

ness, build support and participation in local

anti-crime programs, and, most importantly,

send a message that our neighborhoods are

organized and fighting back. It’s also the per-

fect opportunity to get to know your neigh-

bors even better.”

Capt. Michael J. Trice said that any com-

munity planning an

event, or in need of

more information, is

asked to contact Deputy

Barry Bland at 365-

7116 or at bwbland@

co.hanover.va by Friday,

July 22.

Neighborhood

organizations are urged

to contact Bland so the

Sheriff ’s Office can participate in those com-

munities.

Information submitted by Capt. Michael J. Trice.

Curtis J. Shaffer has been

hired as Hanover County’s

new director of Emergency

Communications. He begins

on Monday, Aug. 1.

Shaffer is currently emer-

gency manager for the City of

Hampton and has more than 15

years of experience managing an

Emergency Communications

Center. He has served the City

of Hampton in various capaci-

ties since 1988 and also has

been a lieutenant colonel in the

U.S. Marine Corps Reserve.

“We are fortunate that Curt

Shaffer has decided to join the

Hanover senior management

team,” said Cecil R. “Rhu”

Harris Jr., county administra-

tor. “He offers great leadership

experience, emergency manage-

ment knowledge and the tech-

nical skills necessary to take our

emergency communications

operation into the future.”

Assistant county adminis-

trator Jim Taylor said Shaffer’s

experience in working with a

new public safety radio commu-

nications system in Hampton

brings great value to Hanover,

which implemented its new sys-

tem last year.

“He has had the opportunity

to implement a radio system

very similar to our new system

and this will be critical as we

work toward final acceptance

and managing its life cycle,”

Taylor said. “We also feel that

he will be an important play-

er in the region representing

Hanover as we work through

banding issues, regional 911

grants and next generation

technology.”

Shaffer was selected by

Hampton’s city manager last year

to reconstitute the Emergency

Management Office and tran-

sition it into an independent

office within the city manager’s

office. He also continued as

project manager for Hampton’s

new communications system,

which became operational in

December.

Prior to his appoint-

ment as cmergency manager,

Shaffer had been Emergency

Communications cirector

for the City of Hampton. In

that position he oversaw the

said Winans, “but our board

has worked together with staff

to keep the tax rate the low-

est in the region, even while

less revenue was coming into

the county. We decided to

make budget cuts everywhere

we could instead of laying off

valuable employees. Our efforts

proved worthwhile when our

county received a triple-AAA

bond rating in May 2010, our

public school system ranked as

one of the top in Virginia while

at the same time being one of

the lowest in per student costs,

and our sheriff ’s department

knowledge gained from both

programs back to Hanover to

better serve its citizens.

“I really do appreciate the

confidence the citizens of

Mechanicsville showed in me

four years ago by electing me

to this position.” Winans said.

“I’ve done my best to represent

the values and concerns of the

citizens I serve. I’m commit-

ted to maintaining the great

achievements we’ve been able

to accomplish here in Hanover

County, and I would appreci-

ate the opportunity to return

of Supervisors for another four

years to continue to improve the

county’s service to its citizens.”

EDWARDS

my mother and go upstairs and watch

court. I’d watch Nina try cases and day-

dream about what it would be like if I was

the judge.”

Hoehl, isHanover County native, is

the daughter of parents John and Helen

O’Connell. She said her parents have always

supported her interest in the law.

“While mom was a paralegal most of

my childhood, before I was born, my father

had been a police officer,” she said. “Even

after he left police work, he had a great

sense of justice and how important it was

in someone’s life.”

Hoehl’s undergraduate degree is in his-

tory from Virginia Tech.

“I just loved going to class and listening

to my history professors tell me a story,”

she said. “I made good grades and a lot of it

was because I was able to remember what

the professor had told me in class about a

subject.”

She said having a good memory is an

attribute all lawyers and judges need.

“My legal career, up to this point ,has

been as a prosecutor, where you have to be

able to study and remember the facts of a

case, especially when you are trying to sell

your case to a jury. As a judge, you have to

be able to remember the facts lawyers pres-

ent to the court so you can make a fair and

just decision.”

After graduating from law school at

DePaul, she returned to Newport News

where she worked as a prosecutor in the

Commonwealth Attorney’s office. Violent

crime cases became her specialty.

“When you get a case as a prosecutor,

there are numerous people you’ll be work-

ing with. There’s the investigator, forensics

people, maybe even specialists about a par-

ticular aspect of the case,” she added. “It

can take weeks, months and even years to

get a case to the point that it’s ready to take

to trial.”

“There are a lot of variables when you

go to trial as to what justice might be,”

the new judge said. “Is the person a past

offender where a jail term is called for, or

is the defendant someone who just made a

mistake and maybe community service is

appropriate?”

Almost five years ago, Hoehl came back

to Hanover as the chief deputy prosecutor

in the Commonwealth Attorney’s office.

“I’ve always wanted to come back to

Hanover County, and this was a great

opportunity,” she said.

Now opportunity has knocked again.

“In a normal five-day week as a judge,

I’ll have one day of criminal court and four

days of dealing with family issues. I might

deal with foster care issues, child support

issues, child custody issues or almost any

family issues that are causing problems. My

goal is to help these people and give them

the support needed to become a whole

family again.”

Hoehl has plenty of support at home.

Her husband Andrew is an Investigator for

the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office.

“We’ve had quite a few discussions

about my becoming a judge. To avoid any

conflict of interest, I’ll not try his cases. I

haven’t tried any as a prosecutor and will

not as a judge. When one of his cases comes

up, Judge Patricia Kelly will come down

from Spotsylvania [County] to hear it and

I’ll go there.”

Hoehl’s last day in the Commonwealth

Attorney’s office was June 24. Before she

heard her first case on July 1, she had to

attend New Judge’s School.

“It’s in Richmond and there will be a

courtroom where mock trials will be held.

New judges from all over Virginia will be

there. We’ll hear cases and there will be

actors playing the various roles. Then, we’ll

render decisions. There will be experienced

judges present who will talk with us about

how we’ve done in class and also about

expectations we must now strive to meet.”

When asked what kind of judge she was

going to be, she had an honest answer. “I

don’t know. I think a lot of people expect

me to be a hard-nosed judge. I believe

a judge has to be able to listen, know the

rules of evidence and be fair in the way

he interprets the law and the decision he

hands down.

“I’m going to be one of the younger

judges (38) and I think that’s good. I’m sure

I’ll make mistakes, but I plan to be doing

this for a long time. So, I’ve got a long time

to work at getting it right.”

And she didn’t even need a scarecrow,

tin man or cowardly lion to help her.

2009, 42,000 people attended,

filling the park and experienc-

ing traffic tie-ups that have led

to ongoing attempts to ease

congestion.

Committee members and

volunteers in the tomato tent,

which is always in the center

on the park grounds, celebrated

with the last bag of tomatoes

being sold as the festival drew

to a close at 4 p.m.

“At 4 o’clock sharp,” Sager

said, “we sold the last bag of

tomatoes, which I don’t know

how we could have timed it

any better than that.” Two hun-

dred bushels are purchased and,

he added, “that’s 400 boxes of

tomatoes.”

A high point of the day is

the crowning of the 2011 Tiny

Miss and Little Miss Hanover

Tomato Festival. Director Lynn

Watson, who emceed the pag-

eant on June 25, brought the

29 contestants to the stage in

the main tent as she announced

the winners. Claiming the titles

were Miranda Paige Gagnon,

Tiny Miss, and Sydney Waldrop,

Little Miss.

He praised the volunteers,

noting those who “actually vol-

unteered for parking,” rather

than the “fun” events like the

children’s area. Sgt. Gary Abele,

whose wife Janet works for

Parks & Rec, brought National

Guard members to help with

traffic control. Lt. Kenny Epling

of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s

Office heads up traffic. Deputies

were positioned in several loca-

tions along Pole Green Road.

“The guardsmen did a

phenomenal job,” Sager said.

“Everybody who volunteered

had a smile on their faces.” He

also acknowledged the sup-

port of spouses of Parks & Rec

employees who volunteered

their time to the festival.

Despite plans to use Tate

Lane as an exit, rainy condi-

tions that started on Wednesday

and continued through Friday

forced motorists to leave on

the same road on which they

entered.

According to Sager, the rain

gauge at the park measured five

inches total since Wednesday. Three

and a half inches fell on Friday.

The rainfall saturated the

grounds, but it did not dampen

the spirits of those participating

or attending.

Rain also was an issue last

year, when a downpour struck

about 90 minutes after the fes-

tival began.

Looking back to 2010, Sager

said the estimated 35,000 who

turned out on Saturday was “a

lot more than last year. The

weather was obviously a whole

lot better than last year, but not

nearly the record we had two

years ago when we were busting

at the seams.”

Last year, Sager said “just

under 25,000” attended, citing

the inclement weather as a factor.

“We were going to use Tate

Lane,” Sager said about the traf-

fic situation. “The new access

road was a muddy mess, so we

did not get an opportunity to

use that or a few other areas at

the park because we had three

inches of rain on Friday. That

was what our rain gauge mea-

sured for Friday alone and five

inches since Wednesday.”

With the exception of the

parking areas, which Sager said

“were fine,” the Tomato Festival

Committee and volunteers

could not keep grassy areas

from being soggy.“The good news is no one

had to be towed out of there,” he added. No spectators

The only vehicle that had difficulty because of the wet grounds was an ice truck that became stuck in one of the mid-dle aisles around 8 a.m.

“We were able to get it extracted,” Sager said. “It was probably 10 o’clock before we were able to get him out of there.”

He did say that the stuck truck did provide for some humorous moments. “It was

much-needed funds for the center. This event is truly the

club’s event, but they have so graciously allowed us to part-

ner with them and allow us the freedom to raise funds for

years and I have had the pleasure of working with this great

group for more than 15 of those years.

We would like to thank the following businesses for

From the editor

33 years later: Tomato Festival still delivers

The Dallas Cowboys defeated the Denver Broncos to win the Super

Bowl, serial killer Ted Bundy was captured, Annie Hall won the Oscar for

Best Picture, Pete Rose of the Cincinnati Reds got his 3,000 Major League

hit, Louise Brown became the world’s first test tube baby born, Pope John

Paul II became the first Polish pope, the Camp David Accords are signed

between Israel and Egypt, the New York Yankees beat the Los Angeles

Dodgers to win the World Series, and Jim Jones led his Peoples Temple cult

in a mass murder-suicide in Guyana.

When Mechanicsville-area residents think back to 1978, some of the

news items listed above may come to mind, but what stands out here is

that was the year the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department started the

Hanover Tomato Festival. And, 33 years later, it remains “the” event in our

community.

Thanks to those efforts three decades ago, the Tomato Festival reigns

supreme in what is a must-do day. Saturday’s 2011 version continued the

tradition, with many vendors, entertainers, attendees and, most of all, the

Hanover Tomato.

The festival serves as the major fundraiser for the Black Creek VFD. To

the department, this is a year-round project. Oscar Watson, who has been

with the festival since day one, is always working and planning ahead. In

addition to his responsibilities with the VFD, he is a member of the Tomato

Festival Committee.

While most of us can venture out to Pole Green Park for a day of enjoy-

ment, there are so many people working tirelessly to make the festival a

success — and their efforts are greatly appreciated.

This year — despite forecasts of continued rainfall — saw a very suc-

cessful Tomato Festival. The park was filled with the sights and sounds of

a good time being had.

As we look forward to 2012 — and Oscar and the committee start

working on the 34th festival — we must thank all those involved in bring-

ing this to our community. The Black Creek VFD has come a long way in

the way this event has evolved — and we thank them.

(Editor’s note: The following was submitted

by Greg Sager, who serves as director of Hanover

Parks & Rec and the Tomato Festival event.)

“On behalf of the Hanover Tomato Festival

Executive Board, I want to express my sincere thanks

to all of the 38,000 individuals who came out and

attended this year’s event this past Saturday at Pole

Green Park. I understand, for many folks, traffic flow

into and out of the event that day was a major head-

ache. Unfortunately, with almost three inches of rain

falling at the park on Friday evening, the planned

additional vehicular access lanes became impassible, limiting traffic

to the two paved lanes entering and exiting the park.

We would like to thank the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office

and the many staff and volunteers who worked valiantly to keep

the traffic flowing. Please know that the Executive Board will

continue to explore alternate traffic routes and event locations

in an effort to provide a positive experience for Hanover Tomato

Festival patrons.”

Get involved with Rebel team

(Editor’s note: The follow-ing was submitted to “Attention parents of Rebels football play-ers and cheerleaders.”)

Mechanicsville Youth Football and Cheering League (MYFL) is an IRS 501-C non-profit organization, and as such must make available for pub-lic inspection certain annual returns and applications for exemption, and must provide copies of such returns and applications to individuals who request them within 30 days in the case of written requests.

I made a written request for such documents on May 20, 2011, and have yet to receive certain financial forms required to be released.

I also have requested a copy of the MYFL bylaws because they are not available on the website; with no response.

I recently attended three MYFL Board of Supervisors monthly meetings. At the last one, on June 20, 2011, at the onset of the meeting, the presi-dent announced that the board

has revised the MYFL bylaws to allow only members to attend the open meetings, and the new defi-nition of a member excludes any person who does not have a child registered to play in the league.

He further explained that the new definition does not include board members or coaches who do not have children playing in the league.

I am only a grandmother so I do not qualify as a member under the new definition, and I was told to leave this open meeting.

Upon my refusal, the presi-dent contacted the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office for their assistance in removing me. This was unsuccessful so he canceled the meeting.

Apparently it was more important to not have me in attendance than to put any effort into having a produc-tive meeting. I have no choice but to believe that the manner in which I was treated was in direct retaliation of my request for information.

Does the board have some-thing to hide? An atmosphere of honesty and openness of this nonprofit organization will only be accomplished only by com-munity involvement.

Donna TateMechanicsville

Criticismwarranted

I feel that Mr. Jennings’ criti-

cism of Jamelle Wilson, who is

now our new superintendent of

schools, is definitely warranted.

Do we really want a super-

intendent of schools who would

make such asinine statements

as she made concerning the

word “Dixie?”

Jamelle must go into trauma

every time she picks up the

well-known drinking cup by

the sane name.

Are we not all sick of this

political correctness in our

country?

Did we not just see the words

“Under God” edited out of the

children’s Pledge of Allegiance

on TV at the start of the U.S.

Open golf tournament?

Mr. Hinos missed the point

completely.

Jamelle’s remarks on the

word “Dixie” indeed gives

exposure of policy decision in

this same mode in the future.

Yes, Mr. Jennings, this is a

problem in America today.

Glen Besa, state direc-

tor of the Virginia Chapter

of the Sierra Club, recently

addressed the Democratic

Committee of King William

County about clean wind

energy. He said Dominion

Virginia Power should invest

in the project.

He listed several eco-

nomic benefits and jobs their

efforts could mean to the

Commonwealth, including

ports and industries involved

in the manufacture, transport

and erection of the technol-

ogy.

He said that off-shore

wind is more constant than

inland locations.

He credited

Rappahannock Electric

Cooperative with being

somewhat receptive to the

concept.

At present, Besa said,

Dominion is still pursu-

ing “dirty” coal to generate

power.

Besa saidthe Sierra Club

is “displeased” with the

“Attorney General’s denial

of facts concerning climate

change” and said, “Attorney

General [Ken] Cuccinelli is

wasting taxpayers’ money on

frivolous and ideological liti-

gation that ignores the science

and the law. Who exactly is he

representing?”

The United States is losing its World War II

veterans at a rate of 1,200 per day. The Honor

Flight Program is dedicated to making sure all

WWII veterans are provided a chance to be safely

taken to the memorial that was built in their

honor on the National Mall in Washington, DC.

With that goal in mind, the local Honor Flight

Chapter (HFHTVA) has scheduled its sixth trip

to Washington on Saturday, Oct. 22.

The bus trip will depart from Imperial Plaza

in Richmond, after a departure ceremony. The

event is open to all WWII veterans who have

not already visited the WWII memorial, free of

charge.

Veterans interested in participating must sub-

mit an application available at www.honorflight-

HTVA.org or call toll-free at 1-877-424-VETS.

Bob Doherty, director of the local Honor

Flight Chapter, said, “The opportunity for WWII

veterans to see this magnificent memorial is a not

to be missed experience.”

The first five Honor Flight trips included

more than 300 WWII veterans and the uni-

versal reaction was one of sincere enjoyment

and appreciation. Veterans from Richmond,

Petersburg, Charlottesville and Hampton Roads

participated.

Honor Flight is a local nonprofit organization

that conducts bi-annual charter bus day trips

for veterans to visit the National World War II

Memorial.

Veterans also visit the Arlington National

Cemetery and the National Museum of the

Marine Corps. All veterans on the trip are accom-

panied by a trained volunteer guardian, who will

assist the veteran for the entire day, and a staff

of paramedics. Wheelchair-bound veterans can

be accommodated. Meals are provided to all

attendees.

HFHTVA also is looking for volunteers to

serve as guardians for the trips to stand in as

caregivers and ensure the safety of each veteran.

Those interested can submit an application avail-

able at the HFHTVA website.

-----

HFHTVA is a nonprofit organization formed

in 2008 and is a part of the national Honor Flight

Network.

Through 2010, the national Honor Flight

Network has taken 63,000 veterans to the WWII

memorial and the goal for 2011 is an additional

37,000 veterans.

There are more than 100 chapters of Honor

Flight in almost all states.

Donations to support this program are wel-

comed. All donations are tax-deductible and can

be made at www.honorflightHTVA.org.

Parsons’ Cause continues SaturdayThe Parsons’ Cause Foundation Inc. will present free public

performances of The Parsons’ Cause — Prelude to Revolution this summer on the following dates: July 16, July 30 and Aug. 13.

The performances will get under way at 11 a.m. at the historic Hanover Courthouse (U.S. 301/Hanover Courthouse Road).

In 1763, in a court case known as The Parsons’ Cause, which

took place in the same courthouse, Patrick Henry was thrust into the forefront of Colonial legal and political circles by challenging the authority of the Church of England and the King of England.

Audience members are encouraged to participate by assuming roles as jurors, parsons, parties to the case, or gentleman justices.

Math and reading center to openKumon, the world’s larg-

est after-school math and

reading enrichment program

will open a new center in

Mechanicsville.

The center, located at 7230

Bell Creek Road, Suite J, will

open its doors in August.

“At Kumon, we believe chil-

dren have unlimited potential

to succeed,” said owner Gargi

Pal. “Our goal is to help each

child develop strong academ-

ic skills, a love of learning

and the confidence to excel

beyond the classroom.”

Kumon’s individualized

approach helps children prog-

ress by ability rather than age

or grade. In the U.S., 200,000

students from preschool

to high school are develop-

ing advanced skills and con-

fidence through Kumon’s

Method of Learning.

In a recent report,

“Teaching Math to the

Talented,” published in

Education Next, American

students were significantly

outperformed by 33 countries,

including Taiwan, Hong Kong,

South Korea and Finland.

Pal said she was inspired

to help students through the

after-school enrichment pro-

gram due to America’s lack

of advanced students and the

impacts on the country’s future

economic growth. More than

half of U.S. Kumon students

study advanced math, and

24 percent of these students

are learning materials two to

three years above their grade

level.

On June 27, Lutheran Family Services

of Virginia (LFSV) honored its foster and

adoptive families and mentors at its annual

picnic hosted by Messiah Lutheran Church

in Mechanicsville.

LFSV is a nonprofit, mission-driven

organization dedicated to placing chil-

dren in foster care with loving families in

temporary and permanent homes. It also

coordinates mentoring services for foster

children with positive, caring adults who

bring them potential for personal, social,

and vocational growth.

The organization serves the entire com-

munity regardless of religious affiliation.

LFSV is a family-oriented agency,

not only in its mission in finding loving

homes, programs, and services for foster

children, but also in its desire to maintain

relationships with the children and adults

involved.

“We enjoy seeing the connections made

and the benefits to the children that occur

while the children are in foster care and

after they leave the system,” Amy Dyer, lead

services manager at LFSV in Richmond,

said. “We also see former foster children,

now adults and parents, maintaining con-

nections with their foster families and

LFSV.”

Also volunteering at the celebration was

Maurice Gallimore, family resource coor-

dinator, who recruits foster and adoptive

parents and conducts training and orienta-

tion for new families.

Taneika Goldman, services manager

and MentorMatch coordinator, was also

present. She described the event and its

relationship with Messiah Lutheran Church

as “divine.”

She also emphasized LFSV’s need for

volunteers and adoptive and foster fami-

lies.

Bennett Funeral Home, the Richmond

Kickers and magician John Smallie also

were thanked for their support of the

event.

For more information on LFSV and

how you can help, call 800-359-3834 or

visit www.lfsva.org.

Virginia traffic deaths over the 2011

Fourth of July holiday weekend more than

doubled compared to the same holiday

weekend in 2010.

In 2010, Virginia lost six people during

the four-day statistical counting period for

the July 4th weekend.

This year, preliminary reports indicate

13 people lost their lives in traffic crashes

statewide during the four-day statistical

counting period.

During the holiday statistical counting

period which began at 12:01 a.m. Friday,

July 1, and ended midnight Monday, July

4, 13 people were killed in 11 traffic

crashes.

The fatal crashes occurred in the

City of Portsmouth and the counties

of Accomack, Albemarle, Alleghany,

Campbell, Chesterfield, Fairfax, Henrico

and Prince Edward. Both Alleghany and

Henrico counties had two separate fatal

crashes.

Of the 11 fatal crashes, at least four were

alcohol-related.

At least five of the crash victims were

not wearing seat belts.

The Albemarle County crash claimed

the life of a Crozet man who was riding a

motorcycle.

“To see traffic deaths spike so signifi-

cantly from one year to the next, with alco-

hol and a lack of seat belt usage as common

factors, is extremely alarming,” said Col.

W. Steven Flaherty, Virginia State Police

superintendent. “These are more than just

statistics — they are people’s lives and loved

ones. The tragedies experienced this past

holiday weekend should be a wake-up call

to all Virginians about the serious and

immediate need to make driving safety a

priority, especially during the remainder of

the summer months.”

During the holiday weekend, Virginia

State Police participated in the annual

nationwide, state-sponsored traffic safety

initiative Operation Combined Accident

Reduction Effort, known as Operation

C.A.R.E.

State troopers stopped 10,462 speeders

and another 2,805 reckless drivers during

the four-day statistical counting period.

State Police also took 117 impaired drivers

off Virginia’s highways.

Troopers cited 866 individuals for fail-

ing to buckle up and 343 adults for failing

to having to have their children properly

secured in a child safety restraint.

Funds generated from summonses

issued by Virginia State Police go directly

to court fees and the state’s Literary Fund,

which benefits public school construction,

technology funding and teacher retire-

ment.

After about seven years in

the pharmaceutical industry

as a sales representative, Steve

Douglas has decided to turn his

side business into a full-time

position.

For two years, he has been

learning about residential

driveway seal coating. His busi-

ness, Seal This! LLC, is based in

Mechanicsville.

He decided to pursue a

full-time direction with his

“side” job, based on what

he called “the demand for a

trustworthy driveway sealing

company.”

“Since opening our doors,

we’ve sealed over 500 drive-

ways and several parking lots

in the greater Richmond area,”

Steve said. “My goal is to create

a company that homeowners

can trust and depend on while

providing quality craftsman-

ship”.

He said his business is

unique in that the sealer is hand

applied with squeegees versus

being sprayed. In addition to

that method of applying the

sealer, he said his business will

trim the grass along the drive-

way, clean the surface, fill any

cracks or potholes, and barri-

cade the newly sealed driveway.

To increase longevity, he

said driveways need to be sealed

every one to three years.

Steve said the best time

to seal a driveway is between

mid-March through mid-November.

For more information, call 248-1654 or visit www.rich-mondsealing.com.

BUSINESS BULLETIN| News, Updates & Listings

Applebee’s located at 7396 Bell Creek

Road has undergone a comprehensive

three-day revitalization project and has

opened its “new” doors to the public.

On the menu: a remodeled interior and

exterior with warmer color tones, con-

temporary design; features specific to the

neighborhood the restaurant serves; service

enhancements; and new food and drink

selections, including the Bourbon Street

menu, Under 550 Calories menu and All-

You-Can-Eat soup, salad and bread lunch.

“From Glen Allen to Richmond

to Chester, we will be introducing the

Applebee’s of tomorrow to old friends and

hopefully, new ones,” said Dina Russo,

director of operations for Applebee’s

Services Inc. “As folks return back to casual

dining, we are making aggressive steps to

reclaim their business by breathing new

life into Applebee’s throughout Richmond.

Our guests have remained committed to us

over the years and these revitalizations are

an expression of our gratitude.”

The most noticeable changes at the

revamped Mechanicsville Applebee’s

include the replacement of the exterior

striped awnings with oversized, contempo-

rary awnings that elongate the building and

highlight the façade.

Guests also will appreciate the changes

beyond the bricks and mortar. New kitchen

procedures mean guests will receive fresh,

hot meals faster than ever. Kitchen staff

training will re-emphasize the finer culi-

nary points in preparing the restaurant’s

most popular entrees.

Team members also will be re-certified

to deliver superior service in a way that is

uniquely Applebee’s.

And, the restaurant is renewing its late-

night lineup to include karaoke and poker

with food and drink specials until midnight

or later.

The remodeling project at the location

began on Sunday, July 3, and reopened on

Thursday, July 7.

The company’s goal is to complete the

revitalization of all company-owned and

franchise restaurants over the next several

years.

The Mechanicsville location serves as

one of the first in the United States of

more than 1,800 Applebee’s locations to

receive the renovation. This is one of 12

Richmond-area restaurants that will under-

go the revitalization.

For more information, visit www.

Applebees.com.

When my mother called

to ask if I wanted to be in a

fashion show to raise money

for Hanover County’s Hilliard

House, I made some vague

noises about how that sounded

fun and could she please send

me some more information?

Then she mentioned it was a

wedding dress fashion show.

“Yes. Done. I’m there. No

more details necessary.”

The words were out of my

mouth almost before she fin-

ished speaking.

Why do wedding dresses

hold such an intense fascina-

tion and appeal, even to those of

us with no immediate plans to

marry? Sure, they’re pretty, but

it’s easy enough to play dress-

up in gorgeous dresses at any

department store. What sets a

wedding dress apart?

The Hilliard House’s annual

fashion show and afternoon

tea at the Hanover Arts and

Activities Center is an antici-

pated event in Hanover.

This year’s theme, “All

Weddings Are Royal,” paid

respect to the recent marriage

of Prince William of England

to Kate Middleton, featuring

dresses from the late 1800s to

present day. Nearly every decade

was represented, and each dress

was exquisite. However, what

was striking, particularly from

a behind-the-scenes perspec-

tive, was how each dress trans-

formed once on its model.

Hanging, the dresses were a

collective mass of white satin,

tulle, silk and lace. At times it

was difficult to tell where one

began and another ended.

My sister Emma was mod-

eling our mother’s dress — a

gown with which she clearly

was very familiar — and even

she had a couple false starts

trying to find it on the rack.

But once on the models, it was

hard to understand how any

of the dresses had ever seemed

remotely similar.

From the tiny girls model-

ing the flower-girl dresses, to

teens and women modeling the

actual wedding gowns, every

single model looked as though

her dress had been made just

for her.

And though this wasn’t as

much of a surprise in cases like

my sister and model Elizabeth

Papoulakos, who were wearing

their mothers’ dresses, it was

impressive considering most

of the models not only lacked

this direct connection to their

dress but also were not wearing

a style they necessarily would

have picked out themselves.

Mollie Hargrove wore a deli-

cate 1950s tulle and lace prin-

cess-style dress that fit her like a

glove, and made it impossible to

envision on anyone else.

Lauren Earley was dressed

in a fitted 1940s suit with black

details and looked as though

she had stepped straight out of

The Notebook.

Brooke Tyson and Noah

Maphis both went barefoot in

their 1970s empire waist gowns

and the hippie influence was

clear even before they donned

crowns of flowers.

My youngest sister, Maggie,

wore a western-style dress with

beaded fringe, complete with

white boots and a cowboy hat

(veil attached!) and instead of

looking like a costume, it some-

how worked.

It made me think: Maybe

the appeal of wedding dresses,

especially those that have been

worn before, is the knowledge

of the sort of dreams attached

to them. It’s impossible to laugh

or poke fun, even at the more

outrageous styles, because a

wedding dress is more than a

fashion statement — it’s a reflec-

tion of the personality of the

bride and her hopes for the

future, from the simplest suit to

the most extravagant gown.

And what stylists Chris

McKelvy, Lori Foley and Carol

Kennedy managed to do beauti-

fully was match each dress with

the model able to communicate

that dress’s unique perspective.

As for me, I was assigned a

1920s lace flapper-style gown,

with a matching hat that sat low

on my forehead, almost at my

eyebrows. I felt like Daisy from

The Great Gatsby.

I won’t be the judge of

whether or not my dress suited

me the way I observed others’

suiting them, but I will say this:

When the show ended, I was

sad to change back into my

jeans.

Park rangers from Richmond

National Battlefield Park

invite the public to experience

“History at Sunset” on a series

of evening guided walks and

programs held every Saturday

during the month of July.

Park rangers will explore

several Richmond area battle-

fields in a series of free evening

programs that begin at 7 p.m.

every Saturday during July, dis-

cussing the topics at the park

locations :

★ July 16 – Fury at Fort

Harrison. The fierce combat

for Fort Harrison on Sept. 29-

30, 1864, bore testimony to its

significance as a critical part of

Richmond’s defenses. With the

defenders caught by surprise,

never was the Confederate

capital so vulnerable to cap-

ture. Join a park ranger for

a journey back to this criti-

cal, but now largely forgot-

ten, battle in the struggle for

Richmond. Meet at the Fort

Harrison Visitor Center at

8621 Battlefield Park Road.

★ July 23 – Archaeology

at Rural Plains. Join arche-

ologist David Dutton as he

discusses the work his firm

completed at Rural Plains.

Dutton will conduct a tour

of the various archaeological

sites they investigated on the

property, discuss the various

findings, and describe how

this information will be used

to further the public inter-

pretation of the site. Meet at

the Shelton House at 7273

Studley Road.

Del. John Cox, left, R-55, along with Aubrey M. “Bucky” Stanley, Beaverdam District representative on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, recently presented Hilda Kelly with a resolution in memory of Buddy Kelly, who served in the U.S. Air Force and was the fi rst paid Hanover County fi re chief. He was the fi rst fi rector of the Offi ce of Fire Service Training for Virginia appointed by Gov. John Dalton. He was very active in many civic groups, including the Ashland Lions Club, Richmond Metropolitan Lodge #11, A.F. & A.M., Hanover AARP Chapter, Hanover County Council on Aging, Hanover County Veterans Memorial Foundation, and the executive committee of the History and Heritage of Hanover County Inc. He also was an active member of St. James the Less Episcopal Church and a longtime member of Hanover Country Club. He was a recipient of the Melvin Jones Fellow Award in 2001 and the Andrus Award in 2009. In 2010, he received a resolution from the Hanover County Board of Supervisors for his lifetime of service to Hanover County. The resolution was presented to Mrs. Kelly at the kickoff fundraiser for Stanley for Supervisor. Stanley said he has dedicated the 2011 election campaign in memory of Buddy Kelly.

Hanover Fire/EMS was

recognized in the category of

“Community Involvement,”

“medium” category (100-500

employees). The award rec-

ognizes employers who dem-

onstrate stewardship through

volunteering significant time

and/or resources in support of

charitable organizations, edu-

cational organizations, com-

munity service groups and/or

significant community projects

or programs.

The department places a

high emphasis on the National

Fill-the-Boot Campaign and

Jerry’s Kids for the Muscular

Dystrophy Association

(MDA).

Last year, Hanover’s fire-

fighters and medics donated

more than 3,500 manpower

hours in the last week in August

to “fill the boot,” not including

another 1,000 hours collecting

donations at the Ashland and

Mechanicsville Walmart stores

over the Labor Day weekend.

Hanover firefighters raised

$36,000 during the 2010 MDA

campaign.

Hanover Fire/EMS also is

involved in many other chari-

table activities. For example, last

fall Hanover firefighters wore

pink t-shirts as part of the “Paint

Hanover Pink” campaign for

the American Cancer Society.

Firefighters donated 200 man-

hours during that effort and

helped raise $3,500 in dona-

tions for the association.

Hanover Fire/EMS also

participates in the Hanover

Christmas Mother program

and during the holiday shop-

ping season helps the Sheriff ’s

Office patrol parking lots for

added security and to assist

shoppers.

Fire stations also actively

participate in “Book Buddies,”

“Breakfast Buddies” and “Lunch

Buddies” with Hanover elemen-

tary schools. Those programs

were started by career firefight-

ers to mentor and encourage

students.

Four times annually,

Hanover firefighters visit the

Missionary Learning Center in

Rockville to teach a fire safety

class to children of missionary

parents on furlough in the U.S.

The 2011 Employer All-

Star Award was presented to

Chief Fred Crosby by Reginald

E. Gordon, chief executive offi-

cer of the Greater Richmond

Chapter of the American

Red Cross, Virginia Capital

Region.

Information submtited by Tom Harris, Hanover County public information officer.

AMERICAN LEGION BASEBALL

Bickmeier named new track president; Fritz resigns

Last Wednesday morn-

ing, International Speedway

Corporation (ISC), announced

that Richmond International

Raceway President Doug Fritz

had resigned and 44-year-old

Dennis Bickmeier, the Vice

President of Sales and Marketing

at Michigan Speedway, would

replace him.

Only five days earlier it

appeared to be business as usual

when Fritz held a press confer-

ence at Daytona International

Speedway to introduce a new

track promotion entitled “The

Road to Richmond”. On the

same day RIR and Fritz also

announced the track would

install SAFER barriers along the

backstretch wall prior to this

September’s race. Therefore the

change in track leadership came

as a sudden and unexpected

announcement, shocking both

local race fans and the com-

munity around RIR that had

worked closely with Fritz.

Bickmeier indicated that he

was equally caught off guard

in taking over for Fritz, hav-

ing been told he would become

the president at RIR sometime

shortly before the change was

announced Wednesday morn-

ing. “I got up, packed and got

A sudden changing of the guard at RIR

on an airplane and got here

late Wednesday evening,” he

said. “I got to meet the team

(Thursday) for the first time at

10 o’clock.

“I tell you I was nervous but

excited,” Bickmeier said. “In a

short amount of time, just the

range of emotions was really

great and trying to sort through

all of those. As I told the group

yesterday, I have a thousand

things going through my head

and they all want to come out at

the same time.”

Though RIR will be

Bickmeier’s first stint as a

track president, he comes to

Richmond with a diverse range

of experience in both profession-

al and college sports. Bickmeier,

who grew up in southeastern

Ohio along the Ohio River and

began his professional sports

career in sales, promotions

and public relations for the

Los Angeles Rams from 1989-

1993. From 1993-97 he served

as Information Director for the

Big West Conference and from

1997-99 he was the Manager

of Community Relations for

Disney-owned Anaheim Sports

Inc., which owned MLB Angels

and MLH Mighty Ducks.

But it was helping out a friend

at the newly built California

Speedway in 1997 that set him

on his road to Richmond. “I

wasn’t a race fan,” Bickmeier

said. “A buddy of mine needed

help, he was a PR director. He

called in some resources for

help. I went there and I was just,

‘Wow, this is amazing.’”

On his way out of the media

center following that race

Bickmeier got an unexpected

ride to the parking lot from

track owner Roger Penske. The

trip took 45 minutes as Penske

picked Bickmeier’s brain on

what he thought worked and

didn’t work with the track open-

ing. “I remember telling him,

‘I’ve worked Super Bowls and I

was like, this is like putting on a

Super Bowl,”

Bickmeier said the feeling

has remained with him fol-

lowing every race since. “I get

through an event I’m like, we

just put on a Super Bowl and

NASCAR does this 36 times,

but I’ve grown to love it for

sure.”

So much so that Bickmeier

became the full time PR direc-

tor at California’s Auto Club

Speedway in 1999 and eventu-

ally moved on to his position in

Michigan.

Bickmeier indicated that

he never interviewed for the

Mechanicsville enters fi nal week of regular season leading league

On Thursday night, former

Hanover Hawk Travis Tyree

stepped to the plate in the bot-

tom of the seventh inning with

his Post 175 team holding a 10-3

lead over visiting Glen Allen Post

244. Subbing for Hank Parsley,

it was Tyree’s only at-bat of the

game but that was all it took to

make his night. With one out

and bases loaded, Tyree blasted

a shot to the centerfield fence for

a three-RBI double that ended

the game by the 10-run rule and

kept Mechanicsville atop the

American Legion standings with

a 14-2 record as of Sunday eve-

ning.

“No I didn’t really work up a

sweat today,” Tyree said. “It was

really fun. I was kind of glad I got

to get in and get on that ball.”

While getting the win may

have never been in question

versus Post 244, Coach Eddie

Gates felt getting the early end to

the contest was very important.

“We’re at the position now where

we’re playing so many games in

very short days that the shorter

games, it’s going to benefit us,”

he said. “I don’t have to use the

pitching.

With a rescheduled rain-out

on Monday throw in, Post 175

is set to play seven games in six

days.

“The number of games we’ll

play in the next seven/eight days

is a bunch, then playoffs start,”

Gates said. “It could be a tight

situation. The shorter game, it

sure benefits us.”

Tyree’s game-ending hit

was only further evidence as

to the depth of talent on the

Mechanicsville team. Besides

Post 175 enjoying role as ‘the’ target team

Tyree, Patrick Holler and Rich

Hurson picked up hits on their

only trips to the plate in the final

innings.

“Players came in, substitutes,

hit the ball,” Gates said. “That’s

what you’ve got to have.”

With the team still having not

reached its peak, infielder Conner

Hall feels team numbers com-

pensate for lapses. “We’ve always

got room to improve, but we’ve

just got so much depth, when

somebody’s having a bad game,

one-through-the-whole-team we

can hit the ball.”

And due to such depth Post

175 finds themselves in the

unusual position as ‘the’ team

to beat, leading the American

Legion as the regular season

winds to a close.

“It actually feels pretty good,”

Tyree said. “Everybody wants to

beat us. We’re the team to beat

and we’ve got the talent to go all

the way I believe.”

Hall agrees. “It’s just awesome

to be #1 and know that every-

body is coming after you,” he said.

“It makes you step your game

up so you don’t disappoint your

legion or your fans or everybody

that comes to the game.”

Gates feels his players feed off

of the pressure. “It’s fun to get in

this situation where everybody’s

trying to beat you,” Gates said.

“You can see the intensity level on

some of the teams picks up when

they play a first place team.”

Against Post 244,

Mechanicsville pitcher Michael

Thomas started slow but got

himself out of early jam. Glen

Allen’s Chance Yahley led off with

a single to short and moved into

scoring position on a bunt from

Nick Toombs. Post 175 appeared

to be in position to get a double

play when Toomb’s bunt went

to Thomas but the field umpire

blocked his throw to second leav-

ing only the option of a force at

first.

But Yahley pushed his luck

in an attempt to reach third on

a single to short from Andrew

Props and was tagged out by

Jordan Boze allowing Post 175 to

escape unscathed on a strikeout

of Korey Smith.

Any slips Thomas may have

shown on the mound where

quickly erased by his presence at

the plate as the lead off batter. On

the night Thomas was 3-for-3

with a double, triple and two RBI.

‘I’m swinging pretty good right

now,” he said. “I had a bad game

the other day and came back, got

a couple hits here to help out.”

Post 175 got on the board

in the bottom of the first when

Thomas tripled to right then

scored on Will Connerley’s

ground-out to short.

Mechanicsville widened their

lead to 5-0 in the bottom of the

second. Ryan Bettinger led off

with a single to right and Hall fol-

lowed with a double to right cen-

ter. A single up the middle from

Zach Broaddus drove them both

home. Thomas drove Broaddus

home on a shot to right center.

Glen Allen answered in the

top of the third. Pierce Colley

reached on a lead-off walk and

advanced on a single to short

left from Yahley. A sacrifice bunt

from Elliott Cliborn advanced

both runners and they scored on

a single from Smith to pull within

5-2.

Post 175 tacked on four more

runs in the bottom of the fourth.

Broaddus was dinged by a pitch

to start things off, advanced on

a single from Parsley and came

home on a sacrifice from Jack

Edwards. A single from Thomas

drove in Parsley and a two-run

homer from Connerley gave

Mechanicsville a 9-2 edge.

The lead moved to 10-2 on

a fifth inning RBI double from

Parsley which drove home

Broaddus.

Post 244 added one more in

the top of the sixth on a RBI

double from Jackson Wright to

set up Tyree’s game ender in the

seventh.

Last Tuesday, Mechanicsville

suffered only its second loss of the

season (both on the road), falling

6-5 at Post 361. But following the

win over Glen Allen, Post 175

swept 244-B in a double-header

on Saturday then beat host 284-P

on Sunday. Mechanicsville’s final

four games come on their home

field at Atlee.

“We haven’t lost on this field

yet so I think we’re pretty com-

fortable here,” Tyree said.

But biggest game down the

stretch comes on Tuesday night at

Atlee against Post 125, a team that

handed them their first loss of the

season and sits 1/2 game back in

the statndings.

Post 175 then closes out the

regular season with home match-

ups against Powhatan Post 201

on Wednesday and Midlothian

Post 186 on Thursday, all at 7

p.m..

While finishing the regular

season on top is a milestone for

Mechanicsville, the players know

they need to accomplish more.

“The regular season doesn’t mat-

ter except for your seed,” Hall

said. “You still have to come to

play in the tournament.”

On the surface, it almost

seems that for every line writ-

ten and every page completed,

another height is cleared and

another meet is won.

But this season has culmi-

nated a two-year plan.

Battlefield’s Kat Palmer for the

final out of the Group AAA

softball tournament champi-

onship game and turned her

attention to onrushing Lee-

Davis teammates converging to

celebrate the state title they had

just won.

Softball pitchers, especially

the good ones, are the center of

attention in any game. Heinz, a

junior, had been brilliant again.

She struck out 16 in the final

and drove in the only run. She

allowed five hits, two more than

she had given up in the previous

five games.

Her teammates’ defense,

which had faltered and con-

tributed to a loss in the 2010

state final, was nearly perfect

through the region and state

tournaments

The celebration at the back

of the circle was a celebration

of team.

“We really grew toward the

end of the season. They always

supported me and showed me

they were there, and that I didn’t

have to do it on my own,” Heinz

said.

Said shortstop Taylor

Melton, a senior: “We have con-

fidence in (Kelly’s) ability, but

we have to make the plays to

keep us ahead.”

The day before the state

semifinal game against

Grassfield (Chesapeake),

Heinz was named the Virginia

Gatorade player of the year.

Postseason honors had come

Heinz’s way before, but all had

been for pitching.

She was the Capital District

pitcher of the year the past two

seasons and was the pitcher of

the year in the Central Region

and for The Times-Dispatch

All-Metro team as a sopho-

more.

The Gatorade award and

the 2011 Times-Dispatch player

of the year honor, for which

Heinz is the recipient, recognize

her for more than pitching. She

can hit (.455 batting average,

5 home runs, 26 RBIs), and as

coach Jackie Davis points out,

“She fields her position very,

very well. She knows what to

do with the ball when it’s hit

to her.”

Heinz, who has committed

to Virginia Tech, wants to be an

all-around player.

“I don’t want to be seen as

the girl who can only pitch.

That doesn’t make you a softball

player,” she said.

little rough. But looking back,

I couldn’t have wished for a bet-

ter senior year,” Overstreet said.

Overstreet sparkled in 2011.

Her harvest included a vic-

tory at the prestigious Penn

Relays Carnival. She also broke

a record at the Southern Track

Classic (12-1) and tied the mark

in the State Group AAA meet

(12-6).

Her effort at the state meet

enabled Overstreet to complete

high school with a state title and

all state distinction.

“It is rare to have a young

person that is willing to say that

they’ll work two years for a goal.

But Cameron was willing to do

it,” Bishop said. “She was willing

to put up with all of the things I

felt she needed to do to prepare

for a successful season.”

Bishop added, “We had a

rough outdoor season because

the weather disrupted our

training cycle. But she hung in

there.”

Overstreet will continue

her education and competitive

career at North Carolina. And

while she will be the youngest

of three pole vaulters on the Tar

Heels’ roster this fall, she con-

cedes nothing to anyone.

“My goal next year is to be

in the top three in any ACC

championship I compete in,”

she said.

Overstreet believes she will

take a big step in that direction

if she follows another line she

has written in her journal:

“Leave it all on the track.”

Lee-Davis junior Kelly Heinz, above, and Atlee senior Cameron Overstreet, left, were named All-Metro Players of the year in softball and girls outdoor track. Heinz led the Confederates to the VHSL Group AAA state championship while Overstreet claimed a Group AAA state championship in the pole vault while tying the state record.

What position, then, would

she play if she weren’t pitching?

“Wherever the coaches

needed me; probably first base

or the outfield,” she said. “It

would take some getting used

to, but it’s always a good thing

to play another position.” Heinz

won’t be moving to a new posi-

tion. She finished this year 22-1

with a 0.09 ERA. She struck out

292 in 151 innings.

High school pitchers threw

from 43 feet this season. In pre-

vious years, the distance was

40 feet.

Whereas batters got a little

extra time to see a pitch, some

pitchers, Heinz among them,

benefited from the longer dis-

tance.

Heinz pitched from 43 feet

in travel ball before the 2010

high school season and had

to re-adjust to the shorter dis-

tance.

This year, she didn’t have to

make the adjustment.

Hanover coach Chris Pace

was quoted in the Gatorade

press release as saying, “She can

throw it into a shoebox at 60

miles per hour from 43 feet.”

He can revise that speed to

67-68 mph.

“She kept telling me last year

that it was going to help her to

move to 43 feet, and I think

it really did,” Davis said. “It

president’s position at RIR. “I’d

like to think I’ve been interview-

ing for the past 10 years,” he

said. Bickmeier became one of

the first to take part in an ISC

development program created

among track vice presidents sev-

eral years ago.

While the announcement of

the transition at RIR came as

a surprise, the change in presi-

dency will go smoothly as Fritz

has indicated he will provide

assistance to Bickmeier and has

already contacted him via email.

“Change is never easy and

I think that’s why it was so

important to get here as fast as

I could,” Bickmeier said. “It was

so important to get here and see

these guys (RIR staff) and let

them see me and tell them my

story and how I got from small

town Ohio to here.”

Also key for Bickmeier is

maintaining the foundation of

community relations that Fritz

has established over his 12 years

at the track. Bickmeier’s first

order of business after reach-

ing Richmond on Wednesday

night was to personally call each

member of the local community

group that has worked with Fritz

in the past.

“I thought it was very impor-

tant for me,” Bickmeier said. “It’s

going to be very important for

me to meet them face to face and

continue to move forward with

the foundation that’s been estab-

lished because they’re impacted

no doubt about it.”

The new track president also

wants to create a close connec-

tion with any fan of RIR and

plans to set up a direct email

account. “I want one where they

can reach me directly and I will

respond,” he said. For the time

being, Bickmeier can be emailed

at [email protected].

Bickmeier plans to establish

his own path when it comes to

the future of RIR and was given

no indication from ISC that there

were any problems under Fritz’s

leadership. “They’ve not told me

one thing, that this wasn’t right

or this wasn’t right here… The

Being Bickmeier’s first ever

trip to Richmond, he spent

Thursday evening on the road

getting to know his new home.

“I just drove,” he said. “Got on

the freeways and just drove. I

ended up at Kings Dominion

and then came around I-295 and

in on I-64 and just drove around

town and just kind of looking

With a late August race at

suddenly doubled. Bickmeier

flew out of Richmond on Friday

evening and will make a trip to

“If something’s broken they’re
