Budget could cut 100+ jobs

By Jim Fields jfields@mechlocal.com

Jim Fields/The Local

Dr. Jamelle S. Wilson, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools, presented a budget proposal of $91.6 million for the 2012-2013 term during the Jan. 10 School Board meeting.

More than 100 jobs could be lost in Hanover County Public Schools by the time the 2012-2013 term begins.

On Tuesday, Jan. 10, Dr. Jamelle S. Wilson, superintendent, presented a proposed $191,599,040 budget to the School Board. It was her first budget proposal since taking over leadership of the school district following the retirement of Dr. Stewart D. Roberson last year.

To balance the proposed budget, Wilson

Supervisors split 4-3 on electing new officers Beaverdam District supervisor Aubrey M. “Bucky” Stanley, now in his eighth term, was nominated as chairman, with newcomer Angela The four new members of the Hanover C.

and her budget team had to overcome a projected revenue deficit of $13,955,299.

Because of the deficit, it is projected that 102.2 current positions will be lost.

The biggest number of jobs lost is in the classroom where 62.2 positions are projected. There are 16.1

vacant positions that will not be filled and 14.9 full-time equivalent leadership, transportation and support staff positions. The final nine projected job losses are secondary senior teacher and family life teaching positions.

A breakdown of the 62.2 losses in the classroom find 25 on the elementary school level, 8.4 in middle school, 12.8 in high school and 16 special education teachers.

Some of the jobs lost will be from natural attrition and retirement and some staff see BUDGET, pg. 4

The Local Pick:

Fund helps soldiers’ families stay by their side 5 NEIGHBORS

By Ken Odor Media General News Service “The most worthwhile charity I’ve ever been involved in.” That’s what Paul Galanti called Families of the Wounded Fund Inc. A Mechanicsville man, U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Brian Pearce, benefited from the program.

The Families of the Wounded Fund directs 100 percent of donations and net proceeds from its events to help families come to the Richmond area to be near their loved ones while they are healing.

Pearce suffered a traumatic brain injury when his Humvee hit an IED (improvised explosive device) in Iraq.

The fund was able to help Pearce’s wife bring their family from Alaska to Richmond, and to assist them in relocating to Mechanicsville.

The fund was started six years ago. It has no connection with other organizations, such as Wounded Warriors, said the fund’s treasurer Deborah Golding, assistant vice president at Village Bank.

Galanti recently talked about the Families of the Wounded Fund during an address to the Goochland Rotary Club. A retired naval officer, Vietnam prisoner of war and Virginia Commissioner of Veterans Services, he serves as a director of the fund.

“The worst of the wounded come to McGuire Hospital,” Galanti said.

He talked about a wounded soldier who suffered head injuries in a helicopter crash he had visited with at McGuire Medical Center. Once unresponsive, the Army aviator told Galanti in a follow-up call that he was getting married.

Rotary member Tom Winfree, president and CEO of Village Bank in Midlothian, which administers the fund, said that McGuire Medical Center is one of only a few veterans’ hospitals in the nation equipped to deal with traumatic brain and spinal cord injuries.

“The Department of Defense contracts with them for treatment,” said.

What does Families of the Wounded Fund do? It makes it possible for members of the wounded service members’ families to stay by their side during what can be an extended rehabilitation period.

“The support of a loved one is vital,” Winfree added. “We help the soldier by helping

Iraqi Christian pastor to bring message to Walnut Grove Baptist Church.

“We give each family a grant of $6,000,” Golding said. “It gives them the opportunity to be at the bedside of their loved ones. One mother broke down in tears when we gave her the check.” He said she had been praying that something would happen that would let her stay with her son a little bit longer.

No administrative expenses are paid out of the donated funds. All banking and accounting services are provided to FOTWF at no charge by board members.

members and faculty will move on to other jobs.

To make up for the loss of teachers and to try and keep classes at a manageable size, one additional student will be added to each class.

The elimination of the 62.2 teaching jobs equals $3,637,687 of the deficit.

The remainder of the funds used to overcome the deficit and balance the proposed budget comes from: non-base funding sources, $5,967,352; reduction of existing non-personnel accounts, $1,254,584; eliminate currently vacant positions, $1,104,999; reduce leadership,

transportation and support staff positions, $743,369; reduce non-SOQ costs, $1,247,3081.

Expenditures for the budget are: general expenditures, $179,336,220; textbooks, $540,732; food service, $7,205,088 for a subtotal for operating funds of $187,082,040.

Capital Improvements then account for $4,517,000 for a total of $191,599,040.

Revenues to pay for the expenses fall into the following categories: local revenue, $93,528,500; state revenue, $79,038,270; federal revenue, $7,649,243; long-term debt, $2,000,000; other $9,383,027 for a total of $191,599,040.

McDonnell’s recent proposed budget. It is now up to the General Assembly to pass a budget that he will sign, and dollars for education could go up or down.

“We had to make some hard decisions,” Wilson told The Local in a meeting to review the proposed budget before the presentation to the School Board.

“This is the fourth year in a row we’ve had to deal with declining revenues, and it doesn’t get any easier.”

Also for the fourth consecutive year, Hanover County Public Schools will be relying on several one-time revenue sources to serve as a bridge to next year’s budget planning.

This year, $6 million accumulated from prior year expenditure savings and equipment purchase delays will be used as one-time funding sources.

The practice is not desirable or advisable, and the use of one-time sources means some programs will suffer. For example, bus, computer and textbook replacement cycles have been lengthened, and renovations and additions at Atlee High School, Patrick Henry High School, Beaverdam Elementary School and Washington-Henry Elementary School will again be deferred.

In her presentation to the School Board, Wilson outlined some problems continued

reductions could bring.

She said to expect class sizes to return to near 1995 levels, challenging the School Board’s value of maintaining acceptable class sizes in large school settings.

Wilson also said to expect deeper reductions in personnel and elimination of program offerings and curricular choices.

She also warned that PTA/ PTOs might be asked again to fund school level operations and needs generally considered to be taxpayers’ responsibilities.

The superintendent also noted that with continued reductions some could be expected to articulate whether diminished revenues will reduce the quality of education, and that school budgets, like in all public sectors, should be expected to be cut severely while sustaining existing performance.

A public hearing on the proposed budget and a School Board workshop were to be conducted on Tuesday, Jan. 17.

Another workshop on the budget is scheduled for Thursday, Jan. 19.

A final workshop and adoption of the budget are planned for Tuesday, Jan. 24.

All meetings and workshops will get underway at 7:30 p.m. at the school system’s Central Office in Ashland.

That relationship grew out of a 35-year friendship between Col. Reynolds and Walnut Grove’s pastor, Drexel Rayford, whom Col. Reynolds met in Austria in 1977 when

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

Best advice: put down the phone and drive Before stepping up on the soapbox, it is time to confess: I am guilty. I have talked on the phone and read e-mails while driving — or at least when stopped at a light at an intersection.

A reader called in to express his frustration with the number of motorists he has seen engaged in conversation on their phone while behind the wheel. Since his call, I’ve tried to be more diligent and do what drivers are supposed to do: focus on driving.

Let’s all take heed of this concerned caller’s comments — and let me add he was very vocal in expressing his anger at seeing a cell phone perched on a shoulder or being held in the hand.

His call also triggered a conscious effort to be more aware of other drivers — and whether their attention was directed toward the highway. In the past week, motorists have zipped through intersections as lights turned red and darted onto the road, with cell phone firmly up against their cheek.

The caller did not identify himself and he was encouraged to express his opinion in the form of a letter to the editor. Whatever he chooses to do, his call did inspire at least one driver, as in this writer, to put down the phone and drive. It’s a lesson we can all live with.

Etc. ☞ No doubt you have a noticed a periodic theme here dealing with Facebook. Your involvement in our page has been overwhelming — and we so appreciate your comments and participation. As an “old school” journalist, the idea of social media seemed foreign, with the first venture into Twitter. Now, the interaction with you, our readers, has become a welcome routine. We are sharing opinions, ideas and thoughts. So, as we near the 3,400 mark of followers, thank you.

In other business, County Attorney Sterling E. Rives III presented a Legislative Agenda Update, and, while he made remarks on over 30 bills, the one that drew the most atten-

cause.”

The supervisors voted unanimously to oppose any change in the law. They said the negative impact to agriculture, tourism and tourism revenues that opening schools before Labor Day would have in Hanover County. Kings Dominion was

2012) Richmond TimesDispatch, we were hit with the headline: “100 Hanover school jobs at risk.”

The article outlined the current budget squeeze and the manner in which the Hanover School Board chose to deal with it. I am personally appalled but not really shocked. This is simply a rerun of a very bad movie.

The budget cuts fall on bus drivers, custodians, and teaching staff.

How can you run a school in Hanover County without bus drivers to safely deliver the students, food and sanitation services, and classroom instructors?

There was not one single recommendation to cut any Central Office position, reduce some of the mega-salaries, or eliminate county-provided vehicles. Why? If there is room to cut at the bottom of the ladder, surely there is room to cut at the top of the ladder as well.

Once again, the budget game is in play and the object is to hurt parents and students just enough to produce an outcry for more and more money for education. It is shameful that our current School Board is seemingly so wimpy, lazy or afraid of the school administration forces that they are a willIn Wednesday’s (jan. 11, ing participant.

I have never been an advocate for elected school boards, but this recent episode is making me reconsider.

For the moment, our best hope is that our recently-elected supervisors will appoint some new members to the School Board who will work for reform, innovation and accountability in our education system instead of keeping the status quo.

Budget proposal cuts wrong jobs

John McCain supports Romney As the New Hampshire primaries were hours away, I

saw John McCain telling the audience he is proud to support his fellow Progressive, Mitt Romney for president.

There is little difference between McCain, Romney or the Progressive Obama.

Progressives do not believe in freedom, our Founding Fathers, or our Constitution, even though they claim to.

Progressives are elitists that have contempt for us lowly citizens.

I’m glad I stayed home on Election Day 2008!

McCain would have cooked us slowly, and we would not have awakened until too late.

There is no longer a difference in Congress between Democrat and Republican Parties. Both serve the same masters and we will get the same results whichever party has the majority, just like we see today.

The Tea Party chapters must put up candidates at all levels.

The millions and millions in our nation that agree with Tea Party values like freedom, national sovereignty and the rule of law far outnumber Republicans and Democrats combined.

We will not get a second chance.

Local celebrity celebrates 80th Linwood Liggan a favorite sight in his spray-painted neon orange car

By Rich and Linda Wooddy For The Mechanicsville Local

I

f you’ve ever seen a car traveling through Old Church, Old Hanover or Mechanicsville with its top spraypainted neon orange, you have most likely seen Linwood Liggan.

He has become an icon to the areas he travels, having several favorite spots where he likes to sit in his car as he drinks his coffee, eats his lunch, or just watches people as they go by. Many wave

to Linwood as they drive by and he honks his horn whether he knows them or not.

West Store has given him a permanent parking space on the property with his name on it where he can park and relax as long as he wants.

One of Linwood’s favorie memories will always be the year he drove his wellknown car in the Mechanicsville Parade.

He was acknowledged along the parade route with shouts and waves and that put a smile on his face -- it doesn’t take much

to make him happy -- God has blessed him with good health and a simple lifestyle and he is very much satisfied.

Linwood was born Jan. 6, 1932, to Sarah Simms Liggan, a Hanover County school teacher, and Calvin Winder Liggan, Commissioner of Revenue for Hanover County from 1927 to 1971.

As a young boy, Linwood rode his bike all over the Old Church area, making friends with all the neighbors. This see 80TH, pg. 13

4-H club thanks Hanover for support Photo submitted by Vicki Underwood

Three Rivers Livestock Club, a 4-H club located in Doswell, in cooperation with the Hanover Christmas Mother and the Doswell Ruritan Club sponsored a canned food drive as their winter community service project for this year. During the month of November, Three Rivers members collected canned goods throughout the community, with a goal of filling 10 bushel baskets for the Hanover Christmas Mother. Thanks to the overwhelming generosity of the community, they collected 16 bushel baskets or 479 pounds of can goods and collected $391.24 for the Christmas Mother program. The club members and their families also assisted the Christmas Mother and the Doswell Ruritan Club on Dec. 5 in sorting the donations. Club members extended their thanks to Anne Geddy Cross, the Christmas Mother, and the Doswell Ruritan Club for allowing them “to assist in this wonderful event and to thank the community for their support of our club’s winter community service project.”

suffered perhaps the gravest unintended consequence of the U.S. invasion: Muslim extremist groups have targeted them to the extent that the Christian population in Iraq has been dramatically reduced.

Col. Reynolds, during his tour in Baghdad, orchestrated dozens of meetings between conflicting religious groups, visited with a number of Muslim, Christian and other religious leaders, and did much to help reduce the unfair treatment of all minority groups, including the Christians.

This is where Aziz Makadsi comes in. The Baptist General Association of Virginia, in partnership with North Carolina Baptists, has cooperated with Col. Reynolds in bringing two Iraqi pastors to the U.S. to speak in churches, to receive continuing education, and to raise awareness of the plight of Iraqi Christians at a very crucial time in the history of their country.

Col. Reynolds and Rev. Makadsi will speak at 6:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 25, at the Walnut Grove Baptist Church at 7046 Cold Harbor Road in Mechanicsville.

A Hanover County judge refused to accept a plea agreement in what prosecutors say was a cancer scam, saying the agreement calling for no jail time undermines the credibility of legitimate charitable causes.

The unusual decision from substitute Hanover General District Judge Robert D. Laney on Wednesday, Jan. 11, resulted in a continuance of misdemeanor charges against Martha Ann Nicholas, a Mechanicsville-area woman who allegedly solicited donations because of her “terminal� cancer.

The two charges stem from two donations of less than $200 obtained by Nicholas under “false pretenses.�

Last Wednesday, Hanover Commonwealth’s Attorney R.E. “Trip� Chalkley III said only that he plans to proceed in February with the same two misdemeanor counts that were before the court last week.

Chalkley and a spokesman for the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office declined to discuss how much money Nicholas may have obtained, nor would they discuss investigative findings relating to a June search warrant alleging that Nicholas “was collecting donations based on a medical condition that she did not have.� The investigation started with an anonymous tip in April.

Court records show that Hanover investigators sought records last spring from Montpelier Family Practice, the Virginia Urology Center, the VCU Massey Cancer Center, Wachovia Bank and state Medicaid offices.

The court records show that Nicholas had “represented herself as suffering from chronic myelogenous leukemia and had collected proceeds from the sale of ‘Cancer Sucks’ T-shirts and received donations in support of the financial implications of cancer treatment.�

A Hanover investigator said in seeking the search warrant that he was “not given access to (Nicholas) due to her alleged illness.� But the investigator said he eventually obtained purported medical records diagnosing cancer. The investigator, however, after interviewNICHOLAS ing physicians and other sources involved, confirmed that the diagnosis “was false,� according to the search warrant. “Our investigation revealed no evidence of any cancer treatment at any medical facility that had been publicly identified by Martha Nicholas during her many public appearances and testimonials,� police said after her arrest last month.

Chalkley declined to discuss details of the case. “I do not discuss pending cases or investigative findings,� Chalkley said after court Wednesday.

Capt. Michael Trice, a spokesman for the Hanover Sheriff’s Office, said in an e-mail: “We are still assembling information. ‌ (The) case is still under investigation. Information keeps flowing in.

I hope to sum everything up soon.� see CANCER, pg. 17

District’s accomplishments recognized by School Board

By Jim Fields jfields@mechlocal.com When the Hanover County School Board meets, honors and recognitions always play a significant part on the agenda.

Last week’s regular meeting was no different.

With Dr. Jamelle M. Wilson, superintendent, and John F. Axselle III, School Board chairman, taking the lead, the accomplishments of students and teachers were acknowledged at the Jan. 10 session.

Nine students from South Anna Elementary School were

recognized for winning the elementary division of the 2011 Stock Market Game.

The online program integrates math, social studies, business, economics and language skills, while focusing on the importance of long-term saving and investment.

Students work in small groups to manage a simulated investment portfolio over a 10 week period.

South Anna students recognized were: Haley Adams, Douglas Keener, Matthew Cosby, Raelyn Tilman, Kyle Staudenmaier, Roger Horton,

Nicholas and her husband own a home in the Milestone subdivision near Mechanicsville, according to property records. The home, in the 9400 block of Stone Spring Drive, is assessed at $409,000, records show.

Nicholas intended to plead guilty to the two misdemeanors as part of a prosecution promise that she would not serve jail time and that she would make restitution to people who had given her money, court documents show.

But Laney refused to go along, saying that the nature of the solicitation, Nicholas’ acknowledgment of guilt, and the potential impact on the

credibility of charitable causes was at stake if a more severe punishment was not imposed.

He allowed the parties to attempt to reach a different agreement, but Chalkley and defense lawyer Sam Simpson decided to continue the case into February.

Outside court, Simpson said that Nicholas has repaid all the money she received, but he declined to say specifically how much that was.

Simpson also said that he is considering introducing evidence that Nicholas suffers from an unspecified mental condition.

Simpson confirmed that there has been an interest in Nicholas appearing on national television about her condition, but he said he has advised against that while her case is pending.

With 500 people stationed at 78 tables in their 11,000-square-foot gym, members of the Cool Spring Baptist Church recently packed 40,000 meals in an hour.

The decision to tackle the project stemmed from some families who had heard about the Stop Hunger Now initiative at a summer retreat. “It was a real hands-on way for my children to make a difference in the lives of other children across the world,� Lucky Hoppe, one of the event organizers, said.

Each family from Cool Spring Church could provide a meal for only 25 cents.

The meals packing program predominantly provides meals to support school feeding programs in schools and orphanages around the world. According to Hoppe, it is considered a pivotal step because so many children in impoverished areas get their only meals at school.

Stop Hunger Now was established in 1998 with the vision of a world without hunger and a mission to end hunger in our lifetime by providing food and lifesaving aid to the world’s most vulnerable and by creating a global commitment to mobilize the necessary resources. “My children are so blessed,� Hoppe said, “but I didn’t want to make them feel guilty about that.

I wanted them to find ways to help others.�

Hoppe and other families encouraged their children to do chores or acts of kindness so they could earn money to put towards the purchase of meals.

There are some startling statistics on hunger in the world. More than 1 billion people do not have enough food to eat, and in developing countries more than 10.9 million children under the age of 5 die each year. In fact, one child dies every six seconds from a hunger-related cause.

Stop Hunger Now is a volunteer-based effort that packages and ships high-protein dehydrated meals for use in crisis situations. “When we mentioned the project to our children in Sunday School and Awana to make the point of how little each meal costs,� Brenda Kidd, minister of children at the church, said, “we compared it to a dollar menu burger at a fast food restaurant. Each $1 burger feeds one person while $1 in Stop Hunger Now meals feeds up to 16 people.� “That object lesson made an impression on our kids as to the impact of this project,� Kidd said.

Baskerville to serve as Girl Scouts’ interim CEO Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com The Board of Directors of the Girl Scouts of the Commonwealth of Virginia has announced the appointment of Viola O. Baskerville to serve as interim chief executive officer.

As of Jan. 2, Baskerville will serve in this position until the Board of Directors is able to hire a permanent CEO, a period not expected to last more than a year.

The board will begin immediately to plan for and initiate a search for a permanent CEO. “The board is thrilled that Ms. Baskerville has agreed to lead the council as we begin our celebration of 100 years of Girl Scouts,” said Candra Parker, chair of the Board of Directors.

“As a former Girl Scout herself, Ms. Baskerville well understands the positive role that the Girl Scouts play in girls’ leadership

development. We very much look forward to working with her while we search for a permanent CEO, and we know that under her leadership the council will continue to thrive during this 100th anniversary celebration year and beyond,” Parker added.

“I am excited to be able to give back to this important organization by serving as its interim CEO,” said Baskerville. “The future of our community and our country depends

in significant part on our ability to deliver on the Girl Scout mission to ‘build girls of courage, confidence and character, who make the world a better place.’ “ Baskerville brings a wealth of management and leadership experience to her role as interim CEO. She served as the Secretary of Administration in Gov. Tim Kaine’s Cabinet, overseeing state operations, including human resources and procurement.

She also is a former member of the Virginia House of Delegates and former vice mayor of the City of Richmond.

A graduate of the College of William and Mary, Baskerville won a Fulbright Scholarship to study in Germany.

She earned a law degree from the University of Iowa.

Baskerville is married to Dr. Archer Baskerville and has two adult sons.

Pressure relieved R-MC’s LaHaye gets 500th victory with historic win | Youth, High School, College, Recreational & Professional

New season begins with milestone behind

Yellow Jackets defeat rival Roanoke to give coach milestone win

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com

By Vic Dorr Jr. Media General News Services The waiting game has ended for Randolph-Macon women’s basketball coach Carroll LaHaye.

LaHaye’s second attempt to capture her 500th career victory ended in sweet satisfaction Friday night when her Yellow Jackets pulled away in the second half to defeat Roanoke 8270 in Crenshaw Gym. LaHaye, 500-289, is the second-winningest coach in ODAC women’s basketball history. Fittingly, the ODAC’s winningest coach, Roanoke’s Susan Dunagan, was on the opposing bench.

“I didn’t think it would be this emotional,” LaHaye said.

“I didn’t think I’d be this emotional. I guess I shocked myself a little bit. But so many people from my past were here to share this tonight, so many players from as far back as the 1980s.”

People from her present were there, too. Randolph-Macon president Robert Lindgren presented LaHaye with the game ball during an impromptu postgame ceremony at center court.

A family of four sat high in the bleachers behind the R-MC bench. Each wore a white shirt with a large black-and-lemon symbol fastened to the front.

When the group was properly

Roanoke coach Susan Dunagan, right, congratulates Randolph-Macon coach Carroll LaHaye on getting her 500th career win. The two coaches are long-time friends and represent a combined total of nearly 1100 career wins and over 60 years of coaching. Ironically, LaHaye also got her 300th career win against Dunagan. They are the only ODAC coaches with more than 500 wins.

aligned, the symbols delivered this message: 500!

“It means a lot, it really does,” LaHaye said. “It’s a big accomplishment, I know that.

But all of the people who were here tonight, my players and their parents and the relationships I’ve had a chance to cultivate (in the course of 29-plus seasons in Ashland) — that’s what’s really important. That’s really what life is all about.”

The milestone wasn’t reached without a struggle. The Yellow Jackets, off to an uncharacteristically slow start as they

attempt to sort out roles and responsibilities, needed three tries to secure their coach’s 499th victory and two to earn her 500th.

They trailed for much of Friday night’s opening half before settling into an efficient and ultimately lethal offensive rhythm.

R-MC (6-7, 4-4) put its coach’s accomplishment under lock and key with one of its finest offensive spurts of this or any season. Between 7:12 and 3:08, the Yellow Jackets harvested points on nine of 10

possessions.

Senior forward Molly Brown led R-MC with 15 points. Taylor Wieczorek, a senior post player, delivered 14 points and eight rebounds. Maggie Roy, a senior guard from Mills Godwin High School, scored 14 points. Sarah Parsons, a freshman guard from J.R. Tucker, added 13.

“We wanted so much to do this for her,” Roy said. “She’s an amazing coach and she cares so much for us and she’s done so much to help us grow, not just as players, but as people, too. see 500, pg. 32 `

Amidst the clamor of the crowd celebrating Coach Carroll LaHaye’s 500th career victory, one could almost hear and audible sigh of relief and it seemed as if a weight had been lifted from the rafters of Crenshaw Gymnasium. The milestone mark was at last achieved. Take a deep breath.

Now we can move on.

LaHaye has never been a records person. After 30 years on the bench, the only time the coach concentrates on the number of wins is as the regular season winds down and the possibility of post season appearances relies on such figures.

But at the same time LaHaye realized the number of wins and losses are very important to players, fans and alumni who support her team. To them, the 500 win plateau was something they could take pride in; something they brag about and something for them to cherish.

Because LaHaye is such a respected figure on the Ashland campus, everyone wanted the record mark for her.

“We talk about how much we wanted to do it for Coach,” said senior center Taylor Wieczorek.

“We were just fighting to get it for her.”

Coming into the season LaHaye had 494 wins and expectations were that the record

mark would be quickly attained.

A banner was hung over the entrance to the women’s locker room for all to see. It counted up the win total towards 500.

Needing only six wins to break the barrier, history had shown a LaHaye coached squad could easily attain that mark by early December at the latest.

But the Yellow Jackets did not perform up to expectations coming out of the gate. Seeking chemistry and aligning all the pieces of the puzzle brought on early losses. By the end of November the number on the banner had increased by one. Early December came and went and the team had only

gotten halfway to their goal.

With each loss the pressure magnified. Instead being of a sign of accomplishment, the banner soon became a reminder of deficiencies. Three wins away the drive to achieve the milestone seemed to turn into a millstone.

The Yellow Jackets appeared to press themselves. They played hard, they gave 100 percent but at the same time they seemed uptight. Easy shots bounced off the rim and turnovers accumulated. R-MC was simply not playing good basketball, which could easily be contributed to the intense desire to reach 500.

“There was definitely pressure that we put on ourselves, from the fans, from the alumni,” said senior forward Molly Brown. “Everyone wanted this for coach and we wish we could have got this sooner.

“Maybe we were a little bit timid, on our heels, just nervous and anxious because we all really, really wanted this for her because she deserves it,” Brown said.

Wieczorek agreed. “I think we felt a little bit of pressure just because Coach LaHaye really deserves it,” she said. “She’s

500 Continued from pg. 31 b

This has been on our minds the whole season. In the huddle before the game tonight, everyone was saying, ‘We’ve got to win this for Coach.’ ” Perhaps the burden was too heavy. R-MC played at an overheated pace for much of the first half, committing 12 turnovers and shooting 35 percent. Not until the final minute before intermission did the Yellow Jackets move ahead to stay.

“Once we stopped thinking about it and started to just relax and play basketball, we were OK,” Roy said.

Said LaHaye: “I regret that.

I just want them — the seniors,

done so much over the years.

But there’s always the pressure every game to win it because that’s what we’re here to do. So it wasn’t a ton of pressure it’s just a regular game and we have to win every one. That’s how we looked at it.”

Still, the players reminded themselves of the goal before taking the floor. “Every game we’d come in as a team, gather in the locker room and say, ‘Let’s do this for Coach’,” said senior guard Maggie Roy. “But once we got out there you kind of forget about everything. It’s like a blessing and a curse.”

Christmas, then New Years came and went and the ever present banner had increased by one win. “It was just a constant reminder,” Brown said.

For LaHaye, it was the last situation she wanted to put her team in. “I really think it’s been hanging over my players more than it’s been hanging over me,” she said. “I think they put a lot of pressure on themselves this year to help me get to this point and I really regret that because I just wanted them to have fun. I have four seniors that are really special people and I think that they’ve taken the pressure on themselves and I wish there was something I could have done especially — to have fun and enjoy the season. I wish I could have done something or said something to make them just let it go.”

Senior post player Nicci Moats led the Maroons (19, 1-5) with 25 points and 14 rebounds.

R-MC head coach Carroll LaHaye waves to the crowd after being handed the game ball for her 500th career win. LaHaye ranks 15th all-time in wins among NCAA Division III coaches.

to tell them, ‘Let it go. Let it go.’

But they want to excel and they wanted to excel for me.”

With a win at Emory & Henry, LaHaye’s total moved to 499, but the team faced a huge challenge trying to get No. 500 against Virginia Wesleyan last Tuesday night. Yet playing against the ODAC’s top team, R-MC began to look like themselves once again. In a nip-andtuck battle, only a late barrage of three straight 3-pointers allowed the Marlins to escape with a victory.

Then in the course of four days, the Yellow Jackets went from playing the league’s top team to one at the bottom.

Facing a 1-8 Roanoke squad, it was virtually a must-win game for R-MC and in the first half the pressure of achieving that elusive 500th victory was evident.

“People showed up today with the 500 on their shirts and the 500 signs and so it’s like we have to win this game,” Brown said. “They showed up on Tuesday night and we didn’t perform. But there was definite-

ly a lot of pressure.”

The Yellow Jackets played hard, but ineffective basketball as Roanoke ran out to an early eight point lead.

Yet, in the final minute of the first half the Yellow Jackets settled down and got back playing to Randolph-Macon basketball.

Shots fell, the defense created turnovers and the Yellow Jackets moved head.

When the final horn sounded, LaHaye did not know what the score was. She only knew that she had won and the milestone as achieved. She wept as her players smothered her in a group hug. Perhaps unknowingly the Coach herself was relieved that the win was now behind her. “I really didn’t think I was going to be as emotional as I was,” she said. “I kind of shocked myself a little bit. I knew it was going to be a special moment because there were so many people here; people from my past who wanted to come back and share it with me and I guess that’s what kind of caught me emotionally.”

“It feels great,” Wieczorek said. “She has done more for us than we could have ever imagined and we’re all extremely happy that we chose this team.”

“We all love Coach LaHaye,” Brown said. “She’s a great woman and a great coach. She teaches us as much off the court as on the court. I feel really honored to have picked this program and to have played for her and I was here for her becoming the winningest coach at RandolphMacon and now her 500th win.

She’s a great role model for us and teaches us a lot.”

“For me, it just feels great to be here and be a part of that,”

Roy said. “That’s huge.”

Even though LaHaye’s name will go in the record book for the 500th win, she was glad to accomplish the milestone for her players. “I know everybody’s on the 500 and I know it’s an accomplishment,” she said. “It is really the people and the relationships and the parents that I’ve been able to get to know and kind of cultivate their daughter and her development and that has meant more to me because that’s what life is all about; so much more than basketball. Sometimes it’s easy to get caught up in the game of basketball because it just catches you emotionally, mentally and physically but you sit back and think about the people and the lives I’ve been a part of it’s pretty dog-gone special.”

With the milestone now behind them, a new season begins; one without the pressure of achieving a history-making moment; a second season that marks a return to Yellow Jacket basketball.

“I think there will probably be a little bit more relaxation,” Wieczorek said. “We’re still looking to go to ODACs and win it all so there’s still going to be the pressure to win.”

On Saturday, less than 24 hours after the milestone win, RMC hosted a Hollins team that sat above them in the ODAC standings.

R-MC rolled to a 76-53 win.

It marked only the second time this season the Yellow Jackets had won back-to-back games and the first contest without a weight hanging over their heads.

LaHaye and Dunagan share history It was perhaps appropriate that LaHaye’s 500th career victory came against Roanoke.

Maroons Coach Susan Dunagan has long been one of LaHaye’s mentors. Likewise, Dunagan is the only other ODAC coach to have reached the 500 mark with 582 wins.

“Susan and I are really good

friends and we go back a long way,” LaHaye said. “I’ve learned a lot from her and she’s a very successful coach. I used to serve on the NCAA ranking committee and I would follow her team around and just sit there and study and watch her and talk with her and I’ve learned a great see DUNAGAN, pg. 35 `

Patrick Henry downs Hermitage 57-47 Patriots get much needed victory

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Heading toward the bench after pregame warm-ups, the Hermitage boys basketball squad got a good laugh watching Patrick Henry go through their final vigorous drills. Those smiles quickly disappeared after tip-off as the Patriots ran out to an 18-point lead then held on for a 57-47 win over their Colonial District rivals.

The victory could be contributed to a Patrick Henry defense that came onto the court with intensity and held Hermitage without a field goal until midway through the first half.

Key on the stop was the quick hands and long wing-span of Sevon Morris.

The 6-3 guard/forward not only is a proficient ball handler but regularly draws the assignment of stopping the opponent’s best shooter. His lanky form and long reach give him a big advantage at the task.

“He has a tough load,” said Patrick Henry head coach Randy Anderson.

“He’s worked hard all summer with it.

I’m going to go with it and see how it turns out.”

Morris enjoys the job he’s given. “I like guarding the best player because I’m the best defensive player and I’m going to stop the guy,” he said.

Meanwhile the Patriot offense relied on Ray Minor (21 points), who became a 1000 point scorer the week before. Minor drilled a three from the left wing on their first possession.

But Minor’s game is no longer just about scoring. “I raised a challenge to him,” Anderson said. “You know good players not only make themselves better but they get everybody else around them better and if you noticed he’s sharing the basketball. I told him I need you get more rebounds. I need more assists from you. I need him to fill the stat sheet up.”

Minor appeared up the challenge and recognizes his own deficiencies.

“It’s going good,” he said. “I’m forcing a lot of stuff at the end tonight. I’ve just got to work on that and slow the ball down.”

Following Minor’s three, A.J. Jackson connected on a jumper than added a three for a quick 8-0 lead.

Corey King took a feed from Niko Johnson for Hermitage’s first goal but Sevon Morris (17 points) answered with a three for the Patriots. Anthony Gaskins gave the Panthers another score but Tyler Dandridge out-dueled him with a three on the opposite end for a 14-5 PH lead.

Throughout the night, Patrick Henry proved they could not be left open beyond the arc as they connected on 10 threes with very few misses.

Patrick Henry started to break the

game open in the second quarter with an 11-1 run for a 30-12 lead by the 5:12 mark.

But Hermitage began to drive the ball against the PH defense to pick up fouls and score from the line.

However the Panthers had difficulty converting from the stripe, going 1730 on the night.

Still, with 5:14 left in the third, Anderson was forced to call a timeout after Hermitage had trimmed the lead to eight, 39-31. His message was simple. “We need to be smarter and be patient; take our time,” Morris said.

A basket by Gaskins trimmed the lead to seven but the Patriot offense suddenly returned. Logan Dandridge connected on a pair of free throws and Morris connected on back-to-back threes for a 48-33 lead that stretched to 67-50 with two minutes to play.

The one constant deficiency in Patrick Henry’s game came in rebounding as they repeatedly got caught out of position when the ball came off the rim.

“Out bigs and even our guards, whether it’s offensive or defensive, we have to learn how to get position,” Anderson said. “Sometimes we watch the game instead of reacting. We work on it and I hope it comes before tournament time.”

“We always get under the basket at times,” Minor said. “We need to work on that in practice; just bad positions.”

Patrick Henry’s Ray Minor (0) draws a crowd of Panthers on a drive to the hoop. Minor finished the night with 21 points as the Patriots handed Hermitage a 67-57 loss.

As the Patriots head into the second half the season Anderson feels there are still things to be worked on. “I was telling the guys we’re 13 games in and we still have to learn when we have a team down how to spread that lead out even more,” he said. “Then we’ve got to know how to finish games.”

Consistency is the one thing Anderson desires most. “At times everything looks great,” he said. “The offense looks great. The defense looks great. But I want a whole 32 minute game. I want to put it together and I want everything to be executed on

both ends of the court.”

“We can’t take no breaks,” Morris said. “We’ve got to keep on playing defense 24/7. We can’t slow down.”

Atlee downs LD in 3 OTs, 105-102

By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local For two teams that have struggled this basketball season, Atlee’s and LeeDavis’ boys played a gem of a game Friday night – maybe one of their best.

Both teams’ records are well below .500. Both teams have been trounced by a Capital District opponent by more than 60 points. Both teams have squads Dave Lawrence/For The Local

beset, at least at the start of the season, by inexperience and/or injuries.

But all that was forgotten as they locked horns for three overtimes before the Raiders overcame the visiting Confederates 105-102.

“Boy, that was the best bargain in town tonight,” said Lee-Davis coach Dave Ellington. “That was an exciting game.”

At first, it looked like Atlee (4-10, 3-4 Capital) was going to run over the Confederates, jumping out to an early 16-point lead. But Lee-Davis (5-9, 16) cut the deficit to 8 points, 39-31, at halftime and squeaked ahead 74-72 in

the final minute of regulation before the Raiders tied it with 8 seconds left to send the game into overtime.

The two teams traded even blows in the first overtime, but Lee-Davis surged to a 6-point lead late in the second overtime before Atlee’s Brian Ratchford, who scored a game-high 31 points, hit two 3-point shots late in the final minute of the second overtime to close the gap and keep the Raiders alive.

“Brian Ratchford is a really good 3-point shooter,” said Atlee head coach Phil Reynolds. “At that point, we had to shoot 3s. It was hard for us to get 2s

Patrick Henry girls continue undefeated roll Patriots stand alone atop Colonial

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com This week proved two things to the No. 4 Patrick Henry girls basketball team. With wins over Deep Run and Hermitage, the Patriots remained undefeated to confirm they are currently the best team in the Colonial District. At the same time, Patrick Henry (14-0, 9-0 Colonial) held substantial leads in both games only to see them slip away down the stretch; so there is still work to do.

“By all means we do have some room to grow,” said Patrick Henry head coach Phillip Cobb.

“We talk about good teams and great teams and the little things that make the differences, especially effort but we’re getting there. We have some room for improvement.”

Last Tuesday night at Deep Run, the Patriots held a 16-point halftime lead only to see it quickly slip to one in the second half.

But PH sophomore Amber Lee and senior Katie Anderson took control in the fourth quarter to insure a 53-43 win.

anyway because they were playing that zone – it was hard for us to penetrate. Our legs were tired. … I knew that the 3-ball was the only way we were going to come back.”

Fouls caught up with the Confederates, however, and the tide turned in favor of Atlee after Lee-Davis guard Chris Kunca, who played most of the second half of regulation with four fouls, left the game with his fifth foul in the second overtime.

“I’ve known Chris a long time,” Ellington said. “He’s not the most athletic guy, but he’s

Patrick Henry coach Philip Cobb watches as Tyler Pinder (4) gets knocked down by Hermitage’s Taylor Cain (12). The Patriots took a good punch from the Panthers but maintained their undefeated record and solid grasp on the Colonial District with a 53-43 win.

Friday night’s home contest against No. 8 Hermitage (104, 7-2) followed a similar pattern. Leading by nine at the half, Patrick Henry broke the game open with intense defense in the third quarter and out-scored the Panthers 13-5 for a 42-26 lead.

But Hermitage’s Kianna

Brown took advantage of turnovers and lapses in the Patriot defense down the stretch to score 10 of her game-leading 20 points in the fourth quarter.

With 2:12 to play the Panthers had limited Patrick Henry to six points and trimmed the lead to four, 48-44.

But Anderson (11 points, 10 rebounds) connected on a pair of free throws with a little over a minute to play to widen the margin 50-44. Lee added another free throw and Tyler Pinder two more to give PH some breathing room with a 5344 lead with 28 seconds to play.

got a lot of heart and he’s a smart player. He showed it tonight.”

The 207 points is far short of the VHSL record of the 269 points scored by Whitewood and Rocky Gap in a 155-114 Whitewood victory in 1970; it is far short of the 265 points scored

by Atlee and Goochland in a 135-130 Atlee victory in 2005; nonetheless it was a spectacular performance for the two teams this season.

“People are going to look in the paper tomorrow and think Atlee and Lee-Davis are pretty equal teams, they’re going to play a good game” Reynolds said.

“They’re going to be shocked by the 105-102. I told our kids, the

next practice that’s all we’re going to work on – defense.”

Reynolds joked about scoring 100 points after the first overtime when the score was tied 85-all.

“I said, ‘Guys, I know we’re disappointed we didn’t win in regulation, but hey! Let’s get 100,’” Reynolds said. “I was kind of being sarcastic. I didn’t think we could score 15 points in that second overtime. Then in the third, I said, ‘Guys, someone’s going to get 100 and win this game. Let’s make it us.’”

After starting out 0-8, the Raiders have won four of their last six games. Reynolds attributes the turnaround in part to

guard Ruben Rucker’s recovery from a broken hand suffered in a football playoff against LeeDavis – in a game that, ironically, was another overtime win for the Raiders.

Ratchford likewise appreciates Rucker’s return to the basketball team.

“Whenever I have Ruben on the court with me, I know he’s always going to give me the ball,” Ratchford said. “It’s totally a new team with Ruben back.”

Rucker scored 27 points for the Raiders, followed by Kevin Drayton with 16 points and Jacob Hurd with 12.

Hermitage managed to trim the final score to 53-47 on three free throws from Alease Kinney with four seconds remaining.

Though concerned with the comebacks, Cobb was not worried that his team would fold.

“We’ve been in that situation before where teams have come back,” he said. “From middle school this team has found a way to win. That’s a big part. Losing can be contagious and winning can be contagious as well and this team finds a way to win.”

“We hype each other up,” Lee said. “We don’t let anybody go down. If somebody looks down we hype them up a little.”

More importantly, the Patriots have found a way to be successful when opposing defenses are concentrating their efforts on shutting down Anderson.

“Katie is one of leaders, senior, 1000 point scorer,” Cobb said. “So when teams tend to focus on her some of the other girls like Summer Price, Amber Lee, step up and as sophomores they’re doing an excellent job.”

Against Hermitage, Lee notched a double-double with 16 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks. Not to be outdone,

Price had 10 points, four blocks and three steals.

“I thought we played as a team,” Lee said. “At first it got tough but then it got all right and we stepped it up.”

Though the Patriots remain undefeated, Cobb is more pleased with where his team finds itself in the Colonial. “To be one or two games above the other teams right now at just over the half way point that’s a really good accomplishment for us,” he said. “That puts us in a really good place going forward.”

For Lee, keeping the momentum going over the remainder of the season will not be hard.

“We play as a family, that’s all that matters,” she said.

On Friday night, Patrick Henry cruised by J.R. Tucker 49-28.

and Laderein Autry scored 18 apiece for the Confederates.

Kunca finished with 15 points and Josh Brown added another 12 for Lee-Davis.

Prior to the boys’ basketball marathon, Caroline Naumann scored 24 points to lead LeeDavis to a 65-47 victory over Atlee in a Capital District girls’ basketball contest. Logan Bryan scored 12 points for the Confederates (9-6, 4-3 Capital).

Atlee edges Godwin and Lee-Davis in unbalanced meet On the other hand, the Confederates were pretty happy with their beam work – and more.

“The girls did a really good job,” said Lee-Davis assistant coach Sarah Tyler. “I was most impressed with their bars and their beam work because those are hard events to do well on.

They’re more likely to fall on that than they are to fall on the floor or the vault. They did a great job.

That’s probably the best we’ve done on bars all year.”

Tyler explained why the balance beam is so difficult.

“The beam is pretty much going to be that way every single competition you go to because it’s four inches wide,” Tyler said.

“If you have ever tried to walk a straight line for a minute anda-half while you do back flips, it’s hard enough to do on the ground, let alone in the air.”

Individually, Koehler was especially pleased with senior Allie Lewis, who earned two victories: the uneven bars and the vault with scores of 9.2 and 9.5, respectively.

“She’s just a true competitor: a strong, strong competitor with the most perfect attitude of any kid that I’ve coached,” Koehler said. “She’s a great role

model for the kids. I’m excited to have her.”

Senior Abby Holmes gave Atlee its other individual victory: on the balance beam with a score of 9.6.

While Atlee claimed the most individual wins, Hannah Chenault of Lee-Davis claimed the all-around title with a score of 36.85. A veteran club gymnast, she returned to Lee-Davis this year after taking the summer more or less off.

“I think she said she didn’t do anything over the summer.

She just kind of hung out and came back,” Tyler said. “She did get a new [floor] routine over the summer. When she came back we worked on that.”

Apparently the work paid off. Chenault earned an individual victory in the floor performance with a score of 9.65.

One ingredient for victory is chemistry, and Koehler is enjoying the chemistry on this year’s Raider team.

“The camaraderie, the way they get along – they support each other 100 percent,” Koehler said. “Everybody cheers each other on this year. That’s not always the case with 18 girls.

Even if they don’t get to play, they’re still there for their team-

Herndon named to NAIA All-Independent team Former Hanover standout Luke Herndon was one of three members (Tommy Davidson, Herndon and Jerry Washington) of the Southern Virginia University football team selected to the 2011 NAIA All-Independent Football Team as voted on by the NAIA Independent Conference coaches. Davidson received NAIA Defensive Player of the Year honors.

Herndon, a junior defensive end, was a force on the Knights’ front line finishing with the second-most total tackles (62) and assists (33) on SVU’s defense,

trailing only Davidson in both categories. He also recorded the second-most sacks (4.5), yards from sacks (37), tackles for loss (14) and yards from tackles for loss on the Knights’ defense.

After only three seasons as a Knight, Herndon ranks second all-time in Southern Virginia football history in quarterback sacks (7.0) and yards from tackles for loss (85). He also ranks third all-time in yards from sacks (52), fourth all-time in tackles for loss (17.5) and fifth all-time in assisted tackles (55).

The mutual support was not limited to the Raiders, however. The girls on all three teams vocally supported their competitors as well as their teammates.

When the two met before Friday night’s game, Dunagan had a special message for LaHaye.

“She wished me luck before the game and said that she knew this was a special moment,” LaHaye said. “She hoped I got it but then she hoped I didn’t get it.”

Dunagan had another message for LaHaye as the two met for a post game hug. “She said that she was glad that she could be here to share my moment,” LaHaye said. “She couldn’t think of a better person for it to happen to.”

Ironically, LaHaye also picked up her 300th career win against Roanoke.

Lee-Davis hosted Atlee and Mills Godwin in a friendly meet. By the time it was over, less than 5 points separated the scores of the three teams. Atlee, despite an outbreak of tumbles, edged Mills Godwin by less than a point to claim the victory, 140.85-140.15. Lee-Davis finished with 136.4 points.

Both Atlee and Mills Godwin had their share of troubles on the balance beam.

“We were hoping for not as many falls on the beam tonight, but we had them,” said Atlee coach Donna Koehler. “We actually have one of the strongest teams we’ve ever had. At regionals, it’s going to come down to how many falls on beam.”

Beam troubles were contagious.

“Today was definitely an offbeam day,” said Mills Godwin coach Anna McLaughlin.

“Sometimes once one person falls, it’s kind of a chain reaction. And then if they watch other teams fall, sometimes they just keep going.”
