At 10-0, the Alexandria players feel the same magic that the Cardinals expressed in 2019

Wegner estimated himself at around 90% on Friday night, but it was time for him to get back on the line-up as one of the leaders of that team. With the way things are going for the Cardinals, he didn’t want to waste any more time.

“I’m much better. I was very excited to come back, ”said Wegner after beating St. Cloud 7-0. Apollo-Sauk Rapids-Rice brought Alexandria to 10-0 on Friday. “The team played really well. I was traveling like a whole week so I was excited to come back. “

Win after win, these players feel this could be another special season. The Cardinals messed up their line-up and put the boys in different positions against Apollo, knowing that a team win was anything but natural.

St. Cloud only has eight players and couldn’t keep up with Alexandria playing every game in straight sets. Gannon Lück, Aaron Jost, Pieter Mulder and Brennan Parker won the singles.

Senior Jacob Partington and freshman Owen Gilbertson teamed up to play first doubles for the Cardinals, and Wegner won the second doubles with Dylan Nelson. Brennen Lattimer and Cole Haabala lost in the third double.

“Two years ago, when we went to the state, it was a big deal,” said Wegner. “I think this year we’ll prove that we can do it again. That we can be this team. “

That is the goal of this group. The Apollo win ended in a 4-0 week that included wins against Moorhead, Bemidji and Brainerd – all Section 8AA teams.

“We have proven that we are at the top with everyone else,” said Partington. “We can keep up with everyone. We may not be the most talented of them all, but we work really hard. We get all the balls we can and that is what sets us apart from the other teams. “

The Cardinals beat the Lumberjacks 4-3 due to Haabala winning a third set in the fourth singles. It is the third 4-3 win against a good team this spring after defeating Monticello and St. Cloud Tech. Brainerd is another Section 8AA contender who the Cardinals defeated with a 5-2 final after close singles matches.

– Senior Jacob Partington on the idea of ​​returning to a state tournament.

“If you look around, a lot of our players are multi-athletes,” said Partington. “We’re used to this pressure. I think that really matters. We stay calm and build each other up. You can hear us during the games, we talk in all seats. That helps too. We have a lot of seniors with some experience and we used that to our advantage. “

Partington, Lueck, Wegner and Mulder all have experience in major games, having joined the state tournament team in 2019. They were expected to be the leaders of this group, but Alexandria would need a lot of different players to level up if it were going to produce another big season. So far, so good on this front.

“It feels really good because we have a lot of seniors carrying us,” Gilbertson said. “We got a lot of good advice from these high school students. Having them around really helped us improve our game. “

Gilbertson teamed up with Partington on Friday’s first doubles and looked like he belonged there. It’s hard to know he’s a newbie because he’s aggressively putting down shots. He is part of a core that this year wants to help and develop an Alexandria program that hopes to be consistent competitors in the section.

“We saw that it was possible,” said Gilbertson. “Getting that advice from our seniors and then taking it into the next year will be tremendous for us.”

First things first: this year’s team still has a lot to do.

“We are very happy about the potential. We know we can do it, but we’re still trying to keep our heads straight and not get too excited, ”said Wegner. “We still have half of our season ahead of us.”

Alexandria has rematches with St. Cloud Tech (May 11) en route before the home of Bemidji (May 13) and Brainerd (May 18). The Cardinals must prove they can beat these teams a second time before going into the postseason where they have to do it again.

The 2019 guys remember exactly how exciting it was to win postseason games in such a dramatic way as to host a state tournament for the first time in programming history.

There is still much to be done, but this group is developing the same kind of camaraderie that led the Cardinals to this success two years ago.

“We know we can do it. That’s the thing, ”said Partington. “Since we’ve been there before, our expectations are very high. Honestly, just thinking about it gives me goose bumps … We have the same culture here this year, if not better. We’re all just super excited for each other. Half the time, you don’t even care as much about your match as you care about your buddy down the line. That’s great. We have this team-first mentality and that’s incredible this year. ”

DVIDS – News – NTAG Richmond holds change of command

RICHMOND, Va. (April 30, 2021) – The Navy Talent Acquisition Group (NTAG) in Richmond hosted a virtual change of command ceremony at the Cmdr. Charles R. Harmon relieved Cmdr. Kristopher D. Klaiber as commanding officer.
Captain Katrina L. Hill, Commodore of the Navy Recruiting Command Region East, chaired the ceremony and was broadcast live to civil and military personnel on Facebook.
When Klaiber took over his duties XX months ago and the commanding officer and Harmon checked in as executive officer, things were completely different than they are now.
They entered a commando, Navy Recruiting District Richmond, that was struggling to meet its recruiting goals and one that operated and structured very differently than it is now.
As if that wasn’t enough, they have been faced with the challenges and continue to grapple with the challenges that COVID-19 will bring from March 2020.
However, given their leadership and the tenacity of their recruiters, it’s amazing that they met their monthly goals and were one of the few recruiting districts across the country to hit their 2020 annual goal.
Klaiber said he couldn’t be more proud of how our recruiters faced the challenges in 2020.
He added that recruiters unable to attend schools, malls, attend job fairs, or people who were nervous about even entering a recruiting station made an already difficult job exponentially.
“You taught me what the real definition of resilience is,” Klaiber said of his command on Facebook Live. “Thank you for placing your trust in me to lead us as your commanding officer for the past 20 months.”
Harmon, no stranger to recruiting, previously worked at the Beckley military entry and processing station in his native West Virginia and served as an executive officer for NRD Richmond / NTAG Richmond, Klaiber exonerated.
Some of Harmon’s past tours include a senior ensign in the Human Resources Department of Navy Personnel Command, a program officer in the Navy Recruiting District Pittsburgh, a Special Operations Command officer in Doha, Qatar, and the N131 Officer of Plans and Policy in Washington, DC to name a few.
Harmon thanked the Richmond team for the welcome and support in his role as executive officer and said he was thrilled to be skippered.
“I believe you are the largest group of seafarers and civilians I have worked with in all of my 29 years,” he told them.
Harmon added that the commands dedicated to the mission are amazing. They are by far the best NTAG in Navy recruiting and they are proving it month after month.
“Thank you for all you do, not just for our navy but for the communities and citizens you serve,” he said.
Headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, NTAG Richmond is committed to staffing the Navy with high quality sailors and maintaining the undisputed global maritime superiority and ability of the Navy to win wars, deter aggression and the freedom of the seas to protect. NTAG Richmond operates three Talent Acquisition Onboarding Centers, 41 Talent Acquisition Stations, and eight Navy Officer Recruiting Stations in Virginia, Southern Maryland, and Northern North Carolina.

Former Senator Jim Webb


AP

BEYER WARNING AND A CONFUSED WEBB

In his recently published treatise “In the Arena” Chuck Robb Tells an interesting scuttlebutt about the US Senate re-election campaign in 2000, which it lost to the Republicans George Allen.

Robb writes that he felt vindicated when he was re-elected over Republicans Oliver North In 1994, but when Allen announced his intention to seek the Senate seat in December 1998, Robb was already planning to retire.

“The Senate increasingly seemed to be becoming an environment of permanent stance and partisan blockade,” writes Robb. “I knew I didn’t want to spend the rest of my life legislating.”

Robb writes that he “didn’t want to just leave my seat to everyone,” so he looked for potential Democratic candidates for his seat.

He writes that his “first and greatest effort” was to advertise Don Beyerwho completed two terms as lieutenant governor after losing the 1997 governor contest to the Republicans Jim Gilmore. Robb writes that he and his wife, Lynda, invited Beyer and his wife, Megan, to their Fairfax house and talked it out over dinner, but that “the next morning Don refused.”

Nutley Second-Grader Nova, a wolf scout, is looking forward to Saturday’s “Scouting for Food” drive

NUTLEY, NJ – Scouts across the community prepare for the biggest anti-hunger program of the year: Scouting for Food.

Last week, residents received hand-handled shopping bags from local Boy Scouts to fill with non-perishable food. On Saturday, the same filled bags will be left on the doorstep to be picked up by fellow Boy Scouts and delivered to the Nutley Family Service Bureau pantry.

Nova, a Wolf Scout, is a Nutley second grader who loves helping others and is happy to help find food this year. She was part of the scout team that delivered handled bags to every door in town this past weekend. On Saturday, Nova will be part of one of the teams collecting and sorting donations.

While Scouts are collecting bags across Nutley on Saturday, another group of Scouts will be collecting donations from customers at the Nutley Park ShopRite. Meanwhile, a fleet of cars and SUVs will deliver the donated food to the Masonic Temple on Chestnut Street, where another team of volunteers from various community groups will begin checking the expiration date of the donated items and sorting them so items can be put back together.

“We are extremely grateful for the continued support that Nutley Scouts and Community Members have provided to programs such as the Nutley Family Service Bureau’s Food Pantry. The pantry relies on donations from this project to fill our shelves. Year after year, the Boy Scouts and those who donate help keep the pantry running to support our needy neighbors. “Said Katherine Carmichael, executive director of the Nutley Family Service Bureau. ”

Check the flyer on the bag on your door. Some boy scouts will make their first communion on Saturday. These scouts will pick up the donation on Sunday. Your bag should have a collection date of May 1st or 2nd.

For those residents who may have forgotten to buy groceries to donate, the Nutley Park ShopRite opens at 7:30 am on Saturday, May 1st. The Clifton Stop and Shop locations open at 6:00 a.m. Trader Joe’s opens at 8:00 a.m. (it happens).

The Richmond woman creates luxurious experiences: “My goal is to make people have more fun.”

RICHMOND, VA – A Richmond woman combines her love of the city with her love of making other people happy, adding a touch of luxury to the typical picnic experience.

After a lot of brainstorming, research, and a few scrolls on Tik-Tok, Mariea Terrell came up with an idea that would allow her to create a unique experience that brings people together while being aware of the limitations of Covid-19.

“My goal is to make people have more fun. I think life is so intense and the more joy we can put into everything, the better it is for everyone,” said Terrell.

Launched in early April, Ivey & Co Luxury Picnics offers a premium picnic experience as well as scheduling and even offer planning.

“I try to help people reconnect with people who love them. I love taking my own turn and redefining all of these beautiful spaces in Richmond,” said Terrel.

From decadent sausage boards to fresh flowers and fluffy pillows, every picnic experience is inspired by a different city.

Terrell owns and runs the business, but says it is her family and friend who really help bring her ideas to life.

“I’m not afraid to say that my family is like my backbone. My stepfather actually custom made this canopy for me, ”Terrell added.

As a small, black-owned company, Terrell set out to support other local businesses while building their own.

Many of the items in a picnic package are from another small local business.

“About my cookies, my jams, even some other things you wouldn’t even think about,” she said. “If I can find another person in the church and strengthen them too, I will.”

Terrell said she was more than excited to keep making a name for herself in Richmond and spreading all the love she can have for picnic after picnic.

“I am in love with this city. I couldn’t think of anything I could enjoy more than doing this. The opportunity to help people and do something special that makes me happy too is amazing. “

For more information on picnics, planning offers, or scheduling appointments, please visit her Instagram or website.
