Budget plan WHO KILLED JESSICA HATCH? gets support Richmond girl’s remains found here
By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com Jessica Lee Sterling Hatch often walked from her Richmond home on West Grace Street to her grandmother’s on Hanover Avenue. Making her way through the city’s Fan District was common for the 12year-old. On Feb. 5, 1984, that would all change: Jessica went missing. Her remains were found on April 12 of that year on Watkins Road in a rural, wooded area of Rockville in Hanover County. Information on the cause of death has not been released. As the DAVIS 27th anniversary of Jessica’s disappearance and death approach, Investigator Christopher J. Davis of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office is now in his third year of pursuing justice for the pre-teen. He said he feels a unique connection to this case in that he was the
same age as Jessica when she was taken. It was around dusk, around 6 p.m., on that winter evening in 1984 when Jessica took off from the 2900 block of West Grace Street to the 3200 block of Hanover Avenue. The route she preferred had her traveling North Sheppard Street, a distance of 0.62 miles according to MapQuest. MapQuest lists the journey from Richmond to that remote portion of Hanover County at a little more than 25 miles. Davis said Jessica was reported missing the same day. “It was in the evening hours; it was early evening before dark, at dusk.” Her grandmother’s house was “several blocks away,” but, as the investigator said, “it’s within walking distance.” “Her normal path,” he said, “was to take Sheppard Street. She was walking alone this particular evening.” “We want to concentrate on the fact that she went missing between Grace Street and Hanover and Sheppard Street,” Davis said. “That was the path that she always would take.” He estimated it to be a five- to 10-minute walk. “She was allowed to go by herself,” he said. That particular evening, Jessica wanted to have dinner with her grandmother. Jessica was a student at Binford Middle School and played around the neighborhood where she went missing. Capt. Michael J. Trice said the Sheriff ’s Office is “reviewing previously collected evidence, working with the City of Richmond on this case right now. We’ve consulted with them,” he said of

District officer discusses club work ‘community’ The first vice president of the Lee District, General Federation of Women’s Clubs, addressed the January meeting of the Pamunkey Women’s Club. Pat Jeffress of Goochland, who is a member of the Goochland Women’s Club, joined the Mechanicsville members on Monday, Jan. 17, for a soup and salad dinner at the Enon United Methodist Church on Studley Road. She has been a member of the Goochland club since 1987. Jeffress, who talked about the “community” of being in the organization, presented members with a bookmark that provided information about the Lee District, including projects. “As you can see, on one side we have the district emblem and Deloris’ (Apsley, the district president) theme, the annual meeting date and the 2010 clubs’ and members’ stats. On the other side we have the drawings from the district stationery: The State Fair, when lee District turns out in force to escort elementary school tours, the Governor’s Mansion, the district project where our ladies are docents and they are always happy to have more volunteers,” Jeffress said. Gov. Linwood Holton’s wife, she said, started the project in 1970. “We, of course, have the Lee Monument and then the Capitol drawings joining the fair and Governor’s Mansion,” she added. Jeffress recognized the efforts of Virginia Darnell, Pamunkey president, and Janice Sadler, who serves as the district’s web designer. She talked about the United Project and reviewed its history. “Years ago (1957), the Lee District Juniors were approached about putting on a dance to open the week of Tobacco Festivities. In 1983, the Lee District Juniors voted to disassociate themselves with the Tobacco Festival and in 1984 the first ball was held where 100 percent of the monies went to a charity of the district’s choice.” According to Jeffress, that was Camp Easter Seal. “In 2005, Lee District Juniors voted to disassociate themselves with Camp Easter Seals and Virginia Blood Services was adopted.” Then, in 2008, the Lee District Unity

Jeffress said it replaced the long-standing Junior Project and was established for Generals and Juniors to work together for a common goal. “The first administration of this project found us working for Camp Comfort Zone.” Now, the organization supports the volunteer efforts of the Autism Society of Virginia. Jeffress said the Unity Project Committee is seeking members. Looking ahead, the said the District Art Show is scheduled for Saturday, March 5, at the West End Community Center.

Lunch will be served during the meeting; the cost is $21 per person. The meeting will include the election of the District Nominating Committee and the presentation of awards. Jeffress said the GFWC Virginia LEADS will be in August in Virginia. The also said the nominating form is on the website and the GFWC Virginia website. The State Convention is being planned for April 28 through May 1 in Richmond. “We shall need pages and door prizes from Lee District for the meeting,” she told the group.

the county’s employees. In other words, the new chair, who represents the Mechanicsville District, and the other supervisors – Audrey M. Stanley, vice chair, Beaverdam; G. Ed Via III, Ashland; Robert R. Setliff, Chickahominy; Elton J. Wade Sr., Cold Harbor; Charles D. McGhee, Henry; and John E. Gordon Jr., South Anna – “would like to do something this year for the employees of the county. They’ve kind of stood by us for the past three years and done everything we’ve asked,” referring to the difficult economic situation of recent budget cycles. She said the employees have “tightened their budgets and their belts and worked really hard to keep everything going while we were going through this hard financial situation.” The economic struggle, she added, has impacted the county and “the whole country.” Some employees, she said, “have worked extra hours, switched positions, or just moved around and taken up the slack where we’ve had positions that were frozen, we couldn’t hire somebody. They just stepped right in and did what was needed and we haven’t been able to give them a pay raise and the cost of living has gone, but they haven’t gotten anything.” “So,” she said, “I hope we can find something we can do for them this year and make it worth everything they have given.” As county administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. and his staff continue to work on the new budget, Winans said she did not know a figure at this time. A question that may be on the minds of many Hanover County residents as budget talks proceed centers on the tax rate. “All of us are holding firm with trying to keep the tax rate at where it is right now -- not increasing, “ Winans, who was elected to the office in November 2007, said. “We’ve rather try to continue to cut the budget a little bit to level off with the revenue that’s come in from the current rate.” “The good news,” she said, “is that from all the facts and figures we’ve been getting out of our local Richmond Association of
the tribe and the petition for Gray has lived on the reserfederal recognition filed on Oct. vation for 22 years. 14, 2010, after almost 30 years He has served as a tribal of work. councilman for 20 years.
Realtors, it appears that we’ve pretty much leveled off and some price range houses are actually starting to increase in value in the Richmond region. Hanover is still kind of level.” “It’s good that prices aren’t dropping anymore, because our assessments kind of run a little bit behind what current market prices are doing,” Winans said. “We have to watch what the current rates are. Our assessments are based on past sales on a certain area and a certain type of house. So, hopefully, if our assessments can level instead of dropping, possibly in another year or so they’ll be back up where they need to be.” County finances also depend on the work of the current session of the Virginia General Assembly. What takes place on the state level, Winans said, can significantly affect what the county does. With Dr. Stewart D. Roberson, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools, already having presented his 2011-2012 budget proposal to the School Board, the supervisors take into account the impact of adequate funding for education. “Nearly half of our budget goes to the school system, but that’s what people want,” Winans said. Schools, public safety and fire and rescue top the wishes of the citizens and, she said, “it’s the way it should be.” “But if the state comes back with any type of unfunded mandate and the county has to make up the difference in what they ether require us to do or take away, that’s going to hit us hard and we’re going to have to figure out where to shift the funds from,” she said. “We’ve tightened about as much as we can in other areas.” The county works through its budget process while the General Assembly is in session. “As soon as they come out of session we have to figure out how we can make up those differences. The timing is tight and critical. Unless we get hit with a surprise I think we will be OK this year.” Of Harris and his staff, Winans said, “We have a pretty good financial staff and they kind of foresee. They do a good job in dealing with things that make affect the budget.” She pointed to Harris and deputy coun-
ty administrator Joseph P. Casey who she described as “numbers guys.” “They have a better idea than somebody who is strictly an administrator. Plus, they have a good team where they’re real strong with numbers.” Winans also said she thinks they have “built a really good team for the county. The citizens should be really happy with the administrative staff they have. They have done an excellent job maintaining the budget through these last three years. A lot of counties are not near as well off as we are now.” Because of what she called “the money situation,” Winans said “It’s kind of hard to have really big goals” at this time. She said she is “very honored” to be elected chair by her fellow supervisors and that they “felt like I was responsible enough to take on this role.” “It is a big responsibility to represent the board at a lot of events, and I’m just very happy they felt their confidence in me to give me this opportunity.” On a regional level, Winans will serve as co-chair of the Inner City Visit the Greater Richmond Chamber of Commerce participates in each year. A couple of weeks ago, the group met to review the agenda for a trip to Austin, Texas. “We’re going to look at their downtown area and meet some of their officials and see the things they’ve done to improve that area,” she said. The goal is determine if that city’s efforts can be utilized here. The GRCC visits a different city each year. When she first took office, Winans said her main focus was on helping the Village of Mechanicsville. “In the last year we got the small plan passed. I think that will help the businesses in that area to expand – and that was really my biggest goal for getting involved in the first place. So I feel like I did accomplish what I set out to do and I feel good about the years I’ve been on the board.” “I learned a lot and I accomplished a few things, even with the economy the way it was,” she said. “I’m looking forward to this year as chair.”

The annual installation of officers of Washington and Henry Lodge #344 of Free and Accepted Masons was held on Monday, Dec. 13. They are, from left, front row, Rusty McGuire, senior warden; Wor. Bobbie Harvey, secretary; Wor. Jim Wright, chaplain; and Dennis Tatum, marshal; back row, Jimmie Moran, junior warden; Rich Dibble, junior deacon; Wor. Winston Robertson, worshipful master; Wor. Bill Wichleman, treasurer; and Ed Currin, senior deacon. Robertson, who was installed as master of Washington and Henry Lodge, will serve as presiding officer and head of the lLodge. The title of “master,� rather than “president,� reflects the Masonic tradition of using ceremonies and titles from stonemason guilds of the middle ages. The Washington and Henry Lodge of Freemasons was established in 1923 and has been an active contributor to the Mechanicsville and surrounding communities ever since.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
Economy looking up: pay raises are in sight There is light at the end of the tunnel. Or, as Dr. Stewart D. Roberson, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools, said: Sunlight is on the horizon. However you phrase it, the bottom line is the economic condition of the school district is improving. And that is much-needed good news for the employees, especially since Roberson — in his recent budget proposal — has requested a 2.25 percent increase for them. How the money will be distributed has yet to be determined. Classifications/tiers of employee status also will be considered, but all (yes, all) employees are scheduled to experience a boost in pay in the coming year. This is good news on many levels. And, no positions will be eliminated and Roberson does not plan to implement a reduction-in-force. With retirements and those positions not being filled, the school system is on a level footing to acknowledge the dedication of employees who have not seen a pay hike in a few years. Deborah B. Winans, the new chair of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors who represents the Mechanicsville District, is hopeful the same can be achieved for county employees. Her goals and the challenges she anticipates during her term are addressed in an interview on today’s front page. With the school district and the county government talking pay increases, it seems we can all expect better things for our county in the new fiscal year.

BUDGET Continued from pg. 1 b
bership was “pleased to see now layoffs” due to attrition. “Not a single person voted against Dr. Roberson’s budget,” she added. Matt Anderson, chair of the school district’s Business Advisory Committee, talked about the Budget Focus Group, of which he has been a member for two years. Noting the open discussions, he referred to the “dire situation of the last couple of years,” adding it is “not so this year.” Anderson said budget decisions need to coincide with available funding, pointing to temporary funding that had been provided by the federal government. “We need to make sure decisions correspond with that and they are not ever shortsighted,” he added. “Secondly, we need to make sure we are looking at the enrollment status – it seems to be more dynamic than in decades past.” The culture in Hanover County, Anderson said, has been “demonstrated by performance -- really driven by associates within the school system. Since 2008, there have not been any increases for these individuals. The proposed budget calls for 2.25 percent; I think that is an important part of the budget.” A pay raise for the employees, he said, is “greatly supported by the Budget Focus Group.” He said funding from the county and state are “still very dynamic.” He encouraged the School Board to “keep in mind as that budget changes this is a cornerstone for the future of Hanover County when we are transitioning our leadership and losing quite a leader in Dr. Roberson. The leadership is very strong here in Hanover County and I am at peace with the fact that you all have to make the decisions going forth.” Mike Rosser, representing the Hanover Education
Foundation, said his organization supports the 2011-2012 proposed budget. As the parent of two children attending Hanover County Public Schools, he said he “couldn’t be more thankful for the education they receive in the Hanover school system.” “This proposal has been developed with awareness of the current economic realities we are in now,” he said. “Our teachers and staff are the foundation of the quality of education we enjoy in Hanover County. It has been a privilege to be able to serve on the Hanover Education Foundation. It has afforded me the opportunity to see the quality of personnel and students who make up our school system.” “This past October,” Shellie Waldron of the Hanover Education Association, said, “I stood before you and told you the HEA would be surveying our members.” She said the key questions the organization wanted answered were: Are we going to see money in our paychecks? Are we going to have to pay more for benefits? The HEA requested compensation in the form of a base salary increase, asking for a 3 percent raise for all school employees. “The commonwealth must take appropriate actions to attract and reward, a 3 percent increase is a step,” Waldron said. She did say that there are “many unknowns at this time until the General Assembly is finished.” She also expressed the HEA’s appreciation for the amount the school district is picking up on health insurance. Kathy Walle, chair of the system’s Parent Education Advisory Committee, said the school district “continues to be a true success story” due to Roberson, the School Board and leadership. She said it is an “exemplary school district second to none.” She told School Board memsee BUDGET, pg. 13 `

Lester Martin Sauer, 90, entered into his eternal rest Wednesday, Jan. 19, 2011. He is survived by his wife of 63 years, Elsie Ellington Sauer; two sons, Richard and wife, Joan, of Warrenton, Mark and wife, Carolyn, of Aylett; one daughter, Martha Lowe and husband, Greg, of Mechanicsville; eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. He retired from Sovran Bank in 1985 as a senior vice president after more than 43 years. He headed the First and Merchants investment area and was a member of the investment committee when Sovran was formed. He served as president of the Richmond American Institute of Banking, where he was an honor graduate in trust and investments. He also headed the Richmond Society of Financial Analysts, served as a committee chairman of the National Organization, taught investments at the Virginia Maryland Banking School at The University of Virginia and was a director of the Bond Club of Virginia, which honored him as an honorary life member in recognition of his efforts in organizing its education programs. He arranged for the permanent financing for the “Diamond,” which was a satisfying cap to his banking career. Following his retirement, he was a parttime consultant to Craigie Inc. and served several Central Virginia Community Banks in asset/ liability and investment portfolio management. He was president of the Chamberlayne Recreation, Civic and Athletic Associations. As executive director of the Richmond Softball Umpire Association, he saw the transition from fast to slow pitch; as an active church member he served in every selected office at Bethlehem Lutheran and
later as treasurer of Trinity Lutheran. The family received friends at the Bennett Funeral Home in Mechanicsville on Friday, Jan. 21, 2011.

She did say they had the “foresight for funding our school system” and that they “continue to meet the challenges of prevailing enrollment trends and related enrollment dynamics.” “I realize you are facing a prolonged economic downturn,” she added. Walle also said that the PEAC supports the 2.25 percent pay increase “by way of a bonus or across-the-board raise as we need to maintain our competitive edge. This would be the first increase in three years – it is definitely needed and definitely deserved.” As for Capital Improvement Projects, Walle said monies designated for the oldest facilities are “a must for our students’ welfare and success.” The parents’ group also supports continued emphasis on special education, as well as technical and career oppor-

Chris Sorenson, assistant director for budget development, presented the School Board with a budget overview. In revenue, the $203,834,005 budget for 2011-2012 shows an increase of $10,853,302, or 5.6 percent, over the $192,980,703 for 2010-2011. Forexpenditures,salariesand benefits jumped $6,534,936, or 4.5 percent, from $145,802,016 last year to $152,336,952 for the coming year. On Jan. 18, Hanover County Public Schools students had missed their fourth day in the 2010-2011 calendar year, prompting Roberson to schedule a makeup day for Friday, Jan. 28. If necessary, the fifth day would be made up on Feb. 21. If a sixth is missed before Feb. 17, students would have class for a half-day that day, currently designated as an early school closing for ParentTeacher Conference, as well as a half-day on April 1, also an early school closing due to the end of the nine weeks grading period.

Republicans, rightfully, have spent the last two years condemning Democrats for borrowing ever-greater sums in failed attempts to reignite economic growth through massive public expenditures. Virginia’s transportation infrastructure needs repair badly — but the costs must be offset with reductions in spending elsewhere. The state of our economy is too fragile to permit of additional taxes, and burdening the Commonwealth’s long-term health with additional debt is sheer fiscal negligence. But now that these tired, failed ideas come with an “R” after them, will Republicans hold fast to the conservative beliefs they have so recently voiced? Or is fiscal responsibility merely in the eye of the beholder — and his partisan interests? Will Sen. Ryan McDougle and Del. John Cox govern as they campaigned and reject McDonnell’s irresponsible spending, or will party trump principle yet again? Joseph Pierro Mechanicsville
Christmas Mother: thanks It is with a grateful heart that I thank you for your donations to the 2010 Hanover Christmas Mother Program. Because of your generosity, Christmas was much brighter for those in our communities who needed assistance. This year we served 814 families and 1,747 children. This is approximately a 30 percent increase over last year’s families. But, because of you, we were able to meet our budget. Christmas is a time of giving, sharing and love for our fellow man. You demonstrated those
attributes by your generous donations and your willingness to help those who are less fortunate than ourselves. I would, additionally, like to thank the many volunteers who worked so tirelessly to make the program a success. Because of your compassion to community service and your passion to help others, many families were given the opportunity to enjoy the Christmas season. This is the true meaning of Christmas. Again, thank you and many the New Year bring many blessings to you. Betty Lee Stanley 2010 Hanover Christmas Mother

Guilty of caring about country My fellow citizens, it appears that I am guilty of murder — at least that is what I as a conservative have been accused of. Yes, we conservatives have caused that deranged young man in Tucson to murder six people and wound several others, according to the talking heads on the cable news shows. That some people would use such a tragedy to further their political agenda is sickening. That I believe in our Constitution, in the exceptionalism of the American people, In individual liberty, equal opportunity for all without the government declaring some more equal than others. I believe the government is too large, too intrusive and too powerful. I believe that the American people are the kindest most generous people on this earth willing to give a hand up to those in need but don’t want to support them for life.

TEA Party: learn about our goals On Saturday, Jan. 8, an unfathomable tragedy took place in Tucson, Ariz. A clearly deranged mad man took the lives of six innocent people, injured countless others and caused grievous emotional and psychological harm to their families. Indeed, all Americans were subjected to the horror of trying to digest how such a tragedy could occur. How does a man, created in Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s image, blow a hole in the chest of a precious 9-year-old girl and make
the decision to attempt the assassination of a public servant like Gabby Giffords? Words cannot make sense of such a heinous act. Many in the media and unfortunately some also in public service have seized upon this crime to discredit and draw illogical conclusions about those who have patriotically made the decision to work to preserve and protect the very ideals on which our country was conceived. How sad that such an event has proven politically expedient to those who perhaps do not share these basic founding tenants of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Two Doctors Confess to the Mechanicsville Community
Dear friends, When we meet people around town, they usually say, “Oh, yeah, I know you, you’re Drs. Mike and Melissa. I’ve seen your picture in your ads. We wanted to write this letter to let you hear our confession. First, Dr. Melissa, “When I was 13 I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. My fatigue was so severe that it was all I could do to make it home at the end of the day and crawl into bed. Feeling frustrated and concerned about my health and life, for years I tried all kinds of different approaches, none of them worked! A friend of mine convinced me to give chiropractic a try. I was reluctant at first thinking that chiropractic was only for people with bad backs, but soon discovered that it was so much more… The Chiropractor did an exam, took some films, and then took the time to explain to me that when the spine is not properly aligned it can interfere with the proper function of the nervous system resulting in all types of health problems because the nerve system controls all function of the body. That was the cause of my symptoms, imbalances in my spine, which interfered with my nerves. The chiropractor then gently “adjusted” my spine using her hands. The adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. It made so much sense to me and worked so well that I decided to become a Chiropractor so that I could help people overcome their health challenges naturally, just as chiropractic helped with mine.” Now for Dr. Mike, “I was in a car accident in 1988 that resulted in severe leg pain (sciatica) and low back pain and had also been a migraine headache sufferer since early childhood. After being told that I may need surgery, I got serious about seeing a chiropractor. My
leg pain went away quickly and the back pain all but disappeared. And with regular chiropractic adjustments I haven’t had a migraine headache in years! Melissa and I decided to go back to school together so that we could help families live happier, healthier and more productive lives without having to depend on potentially harmful drugs or surgery for their health concerns.” “What if we had just taken medicine to cover up our symptoms? What would our health be like today? You see, we weren’t content with just eliminating symptoms, we wanted to be healthy and knew that there had to be a natural and safe way to get and stay healthy naturally.” And there is! Our three children also benefit from a wellness lifestyle. They enjoy being checked regularly and “tuned-up” when needed. And they have enjoyed incredibly vibrant health, thanks to good nutrition, lots of love and regular chiropractic care. It’s strange how life is, because now people come to see us with their fatigue, arthritis, sciatica and migraines. They also come to see us for help with back and neck pain, shoulder/arm pain, asthma/allergies, ear infections, and poor posture, just to name a few. Some visit our office regularly to naturally promote and enhance the overall God-given health
and wellness potential of their entire family and to stay drug-free. Here’s what some of our practice members have had to say: “I no longer suffer from chronic anything, such as headaches and back pain” – C. Bishop “I am calmer, more patient, in much less pain and my headaches are gone!” –A. Moore “Chiropractic is the best thing I have ever done for myself and my family” –S. Bylowski Several times a day patients thank us for helping them with their health problems. But we can’t really take the credit and that’s our confession. We’ve never healed anyone of anything, only the body can do that! And it can only do that when the nerve system is functioning optimally. What we do is perform a specific spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure, which allows the body to function properly resulting in better health and fewer symptoms. The body was created to self-heal and self-regulate and it does this through the nervous system. That’s why chiropractic care helps people get tremendous results. It’s as simple as that! The studies speak for themselves, like the Virginia study that showed that 99% of patients who saw a chiropractor were satisfied with their results. That’s just incredible!
Many Americans are finding that their insurance benefits are being reduced. That’s where we come in. We have cost effective fee plans so that more people are able to afford the corrective care they need with or without insurance. Another way to save…studies show that chiropractic can enhance your immune capacity, naturally and without drugs. The immune system fights colds, flues, and other sicknesses. Studies also show that people actually pay less for their longterm overall health care expenses if they are seeing a chiropractor regularly. You Benefit from an Amazing Offer- Look, it shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg to find out if you might benefit from chiropractic care. *When you make an appointment before February 10th, you will receive our entire new patient exam for only $25. That’s with x-rays (if indicated), computerized spinal analysis and functional testing and a report of your findings…. the whole ball of wax. This exam could normally cost you over $200. You’ll also be pleased to know that we offer a variety of payment options for corrective and wellness care. We simply want you and your family to get checked to discover if chiropractic can help – and we don’t want price to be the reason you don’t. We provide specific and measurable results at a great fee!
We are MATHES FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC “Health by Choice!”
Call us at 746-5700 for your appointment. Sincerely, Drs. Mike and Melissa Mathes and the Mathes Family Chiropractic Team *Due to federal regulations we are unable to extend this offer to recipients of any federal health program, such as medicare.

can get,” Trice said. “Everything from identifying forensic techniques that did not exist in 1984 to preserving the evidence to be analyzed with future techniques. We have consulted with forensic experts to ensure everything that can be done is being done. To be sure there are no gaps in information collected, the same scrutiny is being applied to previously collected witness statements.” “This has been going on for three years now,” Davis said, with him gathering information. He asks that readers focus on “where she was taken from and where she was found.” The road where Jessica’s remains were discovered is on a dead-end. Motorists travel to Oilville and come back into the Rockville area of the county. The location, Trice said, “was sparsely populated then, and it’s sparsely populated now.” “It’s very out of the way,” Davis added. “I think this case is solvable,” Davis said, “because we believe somebody has the information we need. We want to make sure people know we are ready to listen. We believe there is critical information still out there on this case that people have not disclosed to the police.” “While those with information may not still be in the area, with articles like this being posted on the Internet we have a possibility of reaching those with information beyond just our market. Today’s technology can prove a beneficial tool in these cases,” Trice said. The time frame of what happened from the time Jessica left her home to when her body was found has created “a lot of speculation and we’re obviously trying to fill that gap,” Trice said. “Some of the answers are where her body was recovered, and we’re still seeking evidence from that scene.” The Sheriff ’s Office, the captain said, is “still reaching out for answers to what happened when she went missing in Richmond city, and we do believe there are people out see JESSICA, pg. 27 `

Local Residents in Amazement Yesterday as Collectors Provide a Stimulus Package to Richmond! By KEN MCINTOSH STAFF WRITER
What We Buy:
ICCA will be placing ads in newspapers, radio and running television spots this week asking people to bring in any old silver and gold coins made before 1965. Those that do bring in their coins will be able to speak with collectors one on one and have their coins looked at with an expert set of eyes. With the help of these ICCA members offers will be made to those that have coins made before 1965. Offers will be made based on silver or gold content and the rarity of the coins. All coins made before 1965 will be examined and purchased including gold coins, silver coins, silver dollars, all types of nickels and pennies, Those that decide to sell their coins will be paid on the spot. If you are like a lot of people you might have a few old coins or even a coffee can full lying around. If you have ever wondered what they are worth, now might be your chance to find out and even sell them if you choose. They could be worth a lot according to the International Coin Collectors Association also known as ICCA. Collectors will pay a fortune for some coins and currency for their collections. If they are rare enough, one coin could be worth over $100,000 according to Eric Helms coin collector and ICCA member. One ultra rare dime an 1894S Barber sold for a record $1.9 million to a collector in July of 2007. While that is an extreme example, many rare and valuable coins are stashed away in dresser drawers or lock boxes around the country. The ICCA and its collector members have organized a traveling event in search of all types of coins and currency. “Even common coins can be worth a significant amount due to the high price of silver and gold,” says Helms. Washington quarters and Roosevelt dimes and worth many times their face value. Recent silver markets have driven the price up on even common coins made of silver. Helms explains: all half dollars, quarter and dimes made before 1965 contain 90% silver and are sought after any time silver prices rise. Right now it’s a sellers market he said. The rarest coins these collectors are looking for include $20, $10, $5 and $2 1/2 gold coins and any coin made before 1850. These coins always bring big premiums according to the ICCA. Silver dollars are also very sought after nowadays. So whether you have one coin you think might be valuable or a large collection you recently inherited you can talk to these collectors for free and if your lucky you may have a rarity worth thousands. Either way, there is nothing to lose and it sounds like fun! For more information on this event visit the ICCA website at www.internationalcoincollectors. com.

there that have additional information on this case and we’d like to talk to them.” “There’s a better chance somebody saw something on Sheppard Street or Hanover and Grace,” Davis said, “and that’s what to focus on. Somebody may have seen somebody talking to her or her getting in a car.” His request is that anyone who may have seen or heard anything on that day to come forward. Despite the number of years that have passed, as with all Cold Cases, Trice said their office continues to seek information. “We believe that there are people out there — whether Hanover [County] or City of Richmond — that have not provided information to the police.”
“We’ve been following up leads for some time and continue to work leads,” Trice said. Davis echoed Trice’s statement about Cook’s interest in the case and said the same holds true for Col. David R. Hines, who succeeded Cook in the top law enforcement office last fall. Like Cook, Davis said, Hines is committed to pursuing investigations of older crimes. Davis carries with him the original folder Howard Wray, the primary investigator on the case in the 1980s, has compiled. Since assuming responsibility for Jessica’s case, Davis has been working with Sgt. Max Matko of the Richmond Police Department. In the city, the investigation is being pursued as a missing person’s case, while it is a homicide here. In the 1980s, Davis added,
“We are still working on this case,” he said. “After 27 years we still remain committed to finding out what happened to Jessica and who was responsible for her death.” “With the Jessica Hatch case,” Trice continued, “it’s not uncommon to get pieces of information on a case like this. That has kept this case on the desk for a long time and it’s talked about among the investigators here — people that are still working here,” referring to those in the office who were employed by the HCSO in 1984. When Jessica disappeared from the city, former Hanover County Col. V. Stuart Cook was still working at the RPD. Having knowledge of the case, he made solving her murder a priority when he accepted the sheriff ’s position here.
it was not unusual for a child to walk alone. Jessica’s disappearance took place almost three years after “America’s Most Wanted” host John Walsh’s son Adam was snatched from a Florida store, prompting significant media attention on missing children. Trice called Jessica’s disappearance and death “a crime of opportunity.” “Whoever did this took advantage [of the situation] and took her,” he said. At this point, no witnesses have come forward. ——Anyone with information pertaining to the disappearance and death of Jessica Lee Sterling Hatch is asked to contact the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office at 365-6110 or Crime Solvers at 780-1000.

Sign-up for county’s elderly, disabled real estate program under way
Hanover County residents who are elderly or permanently disabled with a net worth of $200,000 or less are invited to sign up for the county’s real estate tax relief program. The application period for new sign-ups continues through March 1. Applicants must be 65 years old or permanently disabled and must own or partially own the property and have lived in it on Dec. 31. If the applicant is in a hospital or extended care facility, he or she may still qualify as long as the house is not rented or leased. The $200,000 net worth figure does not include the value of the house and up to 10 acres around it. The home’s owners can have a combined gross annual income of up to $50,000 and still qualify. The income of relatives living in the home is counted except for the first $10,000 of the relative’s income, which is exempted. If an applicant qualifies for 100 percent
tax relief, he/she pays no real property taxes on that qualified parcel. Currently, 1,619 households participate in Hanover County’s tax relief for the elderly and disabled program. The average tax savings for those households is $1,070 for those households; about 40 percent of the participating households pay no county real estate tax at all as a result of the program. Because of this program, qualifying Hanover County residents had their real estate taxes reduced by $1.7 million last year. Disabled applicants must provide certification of disability. This can be a statement from the Social Security Administration, a statement from the Veterans Administration, a statement from the Railroad Retirement Board or a sworn affidavit from two (2) medical doctors. Once an application is on file, only an affidavit is needed for the following two (2) years, unless there is a significant change in
income or net worth. A new application is necessary only every third year. All information on the application is confidential and is not open to public inspection. Applicants must sign up by March 1 for the relief to be applied to the real estate tax bills that will be sent out later this spring and which are due on June 1, 2011. “This is a great program designed to help those taxpayers who most need the help,” Scott Harris, Hanover’s Commissioner of the Revenue, said. “We invite all residents who think they might qualify to call our office.” To apply, call the Commissioner of the Revenue at 365-6128. If you have computer access, application forms also can be downloaded from www. co.hanover.va.us/comrevnu/txrelief.htm. Information supplied by Tom Harris, Hanover County public information officer.

AAA rating affirmed It’s been extended
Last year Hanover County became the smallest county government in the U.S. to receive AAA bond ratings from all three municipal bond ratings agencies. In the last few days, all three agencies – Moody’s Financial Service, Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poor’s – have all affirmed those AAA bond ratings and applied them to debt which will be issued this month. The AAA bond ratings should lower the interest rates Hanover County will owe when $12.5 million in General Obligation public improvement bonds are sold. Proceeds from that bond sale will complete the financing for the Bond Referendum projects approved by voters in 2005. Moody’s Financial Service, Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poor’s all praised Hanover’s financial management and
noted that economic trends are slowly improving. “The AAA rating reflects the county’s sizeable tax base, sound and effectively-managed financial position with sound reserve levels and manageable debt burden,” Moody’s reported. “The county’s financial management is strong, mitigating concerns raised by growth pressures,” reported Fitch Ratings. Standard & Poor’s expects “economic development to continue to strengthen the economy further, as well as the employment and tax bases, while allowing the county to maintain its rural nature.” “We in Hanover County are very proud of our strong and conservative financial management and it’s rewarding to see it recognized by the bond ratings agencies,” Deborah B. Winans, chair of the Board of Supervisors, said.

Testing for metabolic syndrome
How choosing you benefits everyone (ARA) - Can putting yourself first be considered an unselfish decision? When it comes to your health, the answer is yes. By putting your health first, you’re not only staying well for you, but also for your loved ones. One in three women will develop cancer in her lifetime, but about 50 percent of cancer deaths could be prevented if women maintained a healthy weight through diet and regular exercise, avoided tobacco products and got recommended cancer screenings, according to the American Cancer Society. Yet, women are often so busy taking care of others that they struggle to make their own health a priority. In fact, a recent survey by the American Cancer Society showed that while 95 percent of women feel the need to improve their health, approximately three out of five admit they put others’ health before their own. In the constant struggle between family, work and self, how can you put yourself first? Whether sticking to your New Year’s resolution, preparing for swimsuit season or simply wanting to live a healthier lifestyle, here are six tips to help reach your wellness goals:
Eat right Healthy eating is difficult in today’s busy world. To help you meet your goals, take time to record your intake in a food journal. A diet that is low in fat, high in fiber, with lots of fruits and vegetables, has been shown to help reduce the risk of developing cancer.
Get active
An easy way to get a picture of your overall health
Exercise often gets neglected, but just 30 minutes of moderate physical activity five days a week can reduce your risk of cancer, heart disease, even diabetes. If possible, exercise before work or during lunch, so you can spend time with your family or indulge in “me-time” once you get home.
Get recommended health screenings Prevention and early detection are two of the most powerful tools you have for your health. Make visiting a doctor for preventative care a regular part of your health regimen, and set reminders to schedule important appointments and screenings.
Quit smoking Smoking causes one in five deaths in the United States, and a myriad of health problems. There are many tools and resources available online that can help distract you from your cravings and show you just how much those packs of cigarettes cost you over time. sunglasses that block UV rays.
Protect your skin
Choose you
A majority of skin cancer cases diagnosed in the U.S. are considered to be sun-related. When in the sun, wear protective clothing, sunscreen with an SPF rating of 15 or higher and
Commit to making healthy living and early detection a priority by making a Choose You Commitment, a movement developed by the American Cancer Society to help women put
their health first to help reduce cancer risk. This online program provides tools and support to enable women to commit to, and achieve their personal health and wellness goals. For more information on how to make your personal health a priority, visit www.chooseyou.com.
(ARA) - How healthy am I? It’s a question we’ve all asked ourselves. Learning the answer is easier than you may think. You can quickly gauge your health status through screenings for height, weight, blood pressure, cholesterol and blood glucose. These tests may prove you are on the path to good health, or they may reveal a more serious health condition, like metabolic syndrome. Metabolic syndrome is a group of risk factors that occur together, increasing your risk for developing heart disease, stroke and diabetes. The more of these risk factors you have, the greater your risk. According to medical guidelines, you have metabolic syndrome if you have three or more of these risk factors: * Elevated blood pressure, defined as greater than 130 over 85 * High triglyceride level, which is the level of fat found in your blood. A number greater than 150 is too high. * Raised blood sugar, or glucose levels, of more than 110. * Low HDL cholesterol, or “good” cholesterol. Men’s levels should be above 40, and women’s should be above 50. see YOUR HEALTH, pg. 34 `

* A waist measurement of more than 35 inches for women and 40 inches for men “Blood pressure, glucose or cholesterol levels that are not within the healthy range may indicate the presence of conditions such as hypertension or prediabetes,” says Lonny Reisman, chief medical officer at Aetna. “These conditions can be managed with a combination of diet, exercise or medication.” Healthy lifestyle changes can reduce or reverse the effects of metabolic syndrome. And the earlier you make changes, the easier it will be to reverse the impact of a serious condition such as cardiovascular disease or diabetes. If you have one or more of
the risk factors for metabolic syndrome, you should talk to your doctor. He or she may recommend taking action, which may include: * Losing weight. Losing even 10 percent of your body weight can really help. * Exercising more often. Increasing your physical activity - striving for at least 30 minutes of activity on most days of the week - is one of the best things you can do for your health. * Adopting healthy eating habits. Your food plan should include lots of fruits and vegetables, lean protein and dairy, and heart-healthy fats like olive oil, fish and nuts. Avoid lots of sugar and heavily processed foods.

The condition that no one’s talking about What all men with diabetes need to know (ARA) - The abundance of treats during the holidays can make it a challenge for men to watch their waistlines and stay consistent with their diets, which can be especially dangerous for men with diabetes. That is why the holiday season is an important time for these men to get informed about the other health issues that can come with their disease.

12 million men in the United States have diabetes, and many of these men do not realize that they may be at risk for other serious conditions. Research has shown that men suffering from diabetes may be at increased risk for a condition called hypogonadism, more commonly known as low testosterone. This is because men with diabetes have lower levels of testosterone than those without diabetes. Hypogonadism affects up to 4 million men in the U.S., most of whom remain untreated because its signs and symptoms are often attributed to normal aging. These men may experience symptoms such as sexual dysfunction, decreased sexual desire, decreased muscle mass, loss of body hair, low sperm count, and decreased bone mineral density. “Studies have shown that men with diabetes are twice as likely to have low testosterone as men without diabetes,” says Dr. Helena Rodbard, pastpresident of the American College of Endocrinology (ACE), and past-president of the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE). “It is vitally important for men with diabetes to visit their doctors to discuss the condition and potential risk factors.” The holiday season is an important time for men with diabetes to take charge of their health.

Spruce up your kitchen for healthy cooking (MS) — Looking for innovative ways to make your goal of getting healthier this year stick? Try sprucing up your kitchen so that you’re inspired to lighten up your cooking and eating habits. The last months of winter are a great time to prepare, both mentally and physically, for the return of warm weather, lighter clothing, and hopefully a lighter and healthier you. All you need to do is survey your kitchen — including pantry, refrigerator and freezer — and weed out the stuff that doesn’t lead to “clean” eating. What should be discarded can be replaced with “lighter style” equipment, tools, pantry basics and ingredients that will help you cook yourself healthy and slim without sacrificing pleasure, or convenience.
Healthy Kitchen “Worst Offenders” Below is a list of culinary products and foods that have no place in a healthy kitchen. If they’re lurking in your cabinets and shelves, send them packing — or at least hide them in out of the way places until you need them for very special occasions: * Deep Fat Fryer — Fried
foods are obviously high in fat, and with the right technique and equipment, you can easily “faux fry” potatoes, chicken, tortillas, and more, using your oven. * Popcorn Poppers Requiring Oil — Look for air-poppers, or choose low-calorie microwaveable popcorn to make bowls of this naturally wholesome snack. * Waffle Irons — Though many are “non-stick,” some type of fat is required to keep the waffle from sticking, whereas pancakes can easily be made in a quality nonstick pan without added fat. * Chocolate Fountain — Once in a while, a little chocolate indulgence is fine, but this novelty appliance, which creates a “mountain” of melted chocolate doesn’t provide good portion control. * Granola — Sounds healthy, yet the majority of brands are extremely high in fat and calories. It’s also very easy to overestimate portions and end up consuming two or three times the recommended serving. * Blended Fruit Juices — Save calories and enjoy the complete nutritional benefits of fresh fruits like oranges, pears, apples, and grapefruits by eat-
ing them whole. * Full-Fat Dairy Products — Staples like milk, cheese, butter, yogurt and treats like ice cream and frozen yogurt, should always be either skimmed, partskimmed or reduced fat. Look for light butter and 75 percent reduced fat cheddar cheese. * Full-Fat Mayonnaise — Reduced calorie and light versions of this popular and versatile condiment are readily available now. Formulations have been greatly improved, so there’s no excuse to keep the old-style, high-fat jar of mayo in the fridge or pantry.
Healthy Kitchen “Must-Haves” Now that the worst offenders are out of sight, replenish kitchen supplies with healthier choices, such as the following: * Good Quality Nonstick Cookware — Healthy cooking habits begin with an investment in durable pots and pans that heat quickly and evenly, and provide a long-lasting nonstick surface that allows you to cook your favorite foods without adding butter or oil. Circulon is a pioneer in gourmet hardanodized nonstick cookware. Now celebrating its 25th anni-

Did you know? The body needs vitamin D to help absorb calcium, which is responsible for keeping bones, muscles and even the heart healthy and strong. Without enough vitamin D, men and women are at a heightened risk for osteoporosis, a bone condition in which bones become brittle and fragile due to tissue loss. Vitamin D is also beneficial for those who love to exercise. Muscles that don’t get enough calcium will cramp,
hurt or feel weak, possibly leading to chronic muscle aches pains. If the body is getting enough vitamin D, muscles are less likely to cramp or ache. While it’s possible to include vitamin D in a daily diet, it’s also difficult because there are not many foods rich in vitamin D. However, men and women can take a multivitamin or even a vitamin D pill to ensure they get their daily recommended amount of vitamin D.

The durable nonstick on the inside and outside makes cleanup a breeze, and its pretty silver coloring won’t over-brown delicate foods, like reduced-fat oatmeal and raisin cookies. A little treat is needed now and then! * Kitchen Scale — Learning the correct size of portions can be very tricky. Your idea of a four-ounce serving of steak may actually be 8 ounces, but you won’t know for sure unless you weigh it from time to time to keep yourself in check. * Oil Mister — This tool makes it super easy and convenient to finish a dish or dress a salad with a smidgen of hearthealthy olive oil. Use the finest and most flavorful extra
virgin olive oil you can find so that the smallest amount can deliver amazing flavor to your food. * Zester/Grater — Topping pasta, grilled or steamed vegetables, salads, scrambled eggs and other dishes with cheese can be healthy with this handy gadget, which grates cheese extra finely so you consume less than it looks. They’re also terrific for grating citrus peel to give many dishes zestful taste with virtually zero calories. * Light Coconut Milk — A staple in many Asian and Caribbean cuisines, and the foundation of a delicious chicken, vegetable, fish or lamb curry, regular coconut milk is sky-high in fat, but you can find cans of light coconut milk at your supermarket or gourmet food store. It’s a great way to jazz up a side dish of rice. * Whole Wheat Pastry Flour — More nutritious than white flour, but not as heavy tasting as whole-wheat flour, this is a great choice when
you’re making pancakes, muffins and quick breads. You can also use fiber-rich but light textured oat flour by grinding old-fashioned oats very finely in a food processor. * Herbs & Spices — They have virtually no calories and nearly limitless possibilities in making a healthy dish taste decadent. If you don’t feel confident combining spices, check out the growing assortment of delicious spice blends available in the supermarket. Learn a few basics about using fresh herbs so you get the most of these perishable ingredients. Sturdier herbs like rosemary and thyme can easily be added to foods early in the cooking process to impart their flavors. Save the more delicate herbs like fresh parsley, dill and basil for the very end of the cooking process, or as a garnish.

Five simple substitutes that lead to a healthier diet (ARA) - Eating right is often easier said than done. You like what you like, so breaking old eating habits is never easy.

ONLY $15.00* TO ANYONE WHO NEEDS HELP BUT HAS NEVER BEEN TO A CHIROPRACTOR BEFORE (Or Hasn’t Been in A Long Time)
Dear Friend, If you’ve ever thought about going to a chiropractor but you’ve hesitated because you weren’t sure it was right for you, please read on… My name is Dr. Tripp Stover. We are welcoming a New Year and a renewed dedication to health and wellness. I have agreed to “give away” $250 of my services for only $15 – that’s right, $15.* In the years since I began my practice, I’ve helped hundreds of people feel better and live healthier, more productive lives through chiropractic care. And now I’d like to introduce even more Hanover residents to the many benefits our profession has to offer. For instance, chiropractic care may be able to help you if you’re suffering from any of the following conditions: • Migraine headaches • Lower back pain • Numbness or soreness in your arms or legs • Constant fatigue; lack of energy • Muscle spasms, sprains & strains • And a whole host of other problems ranging from dizziness to ringing in the ear. These symptoms can be caused whenever the vertebrae in your spine are out of alignment because these “misalignments” directly affect your nervous system.
36
Fortunately, if you are suffering from any of these problems or similar affliction right now, they can be relieved or eliminated by proper chiropractic treatment (commonly called an adjustment). So, if you’ve always wanted to “check out” chiropractic care and see what it can do for you, now is the best time to do so because… What does this offer include? Everything. Take a look at what you will receive… • An in-depth consultation about your health and well-being • A complete chiropractic spinal examination • A full set of specialized X-rays to determine if a misalignment in your spine is causing your pain or symptoms… (NOTE: nobody gives these kinds of X-rays away free; they would normally cost you at lease $200). • An analysis of your X-rays and spinal exam results to see what needs to be done to help relieve your problem • Helpful literature that shows you how your body works and why you experience pain • Answers to all your most probing questions about chiropractic care and what it can do for you… The appointment will not take long at all. And like I said, I normally charge
$250 for this (most of which just covers the full set of X-rays). But for now, as part of this special offer, you can come in and find out for certain if you need chiropractic care and how it might help you eliminate the pain you are feeling.

Five things your dentist really wants you to know about your mouth feel more confident going into their next six-month dental check-up.
(MS) — Have you ever wondered what your dentist really wants you to know about the health of your teeth, gums and mouth? Below are five tips that can help improve your oral hygiene, as well as make your next dental appointment something you can feel confident about.
4. Bad Breath Could be the Result of Poor Oral Hygiene
1. You Probably Aren’t Brushing Long Enough Learning how to brush your teeth properly is the first step to maintaining healthy teeth and gums. It helps minimize the risk of tooth decay and gum disease, the major causes of tooth loss. Spend at least two minutes brushing, which should include 30 seconds brushing each section of your mouth (upper right, upper left, lower right and lower left), both morning and night.

Protect Your loss.
Enamel Tooth enamel is the hard outer layer of your teeth. It helps protect your teeth from tooth decay, sensitivity, and is the part of your teeth that people see when you smile. One way enamel loss can occur is when acids from everyday food and beverages, such as fruit, yogurt, salsa, orange juice and sports drinks, attack the tooth surface. If left untreated, enamel loss can lead to larger issues such as cavities. A daily regimen of brushing and rins-
3. Use a Full Oral Care Regimen to Keep Cavities at Bay When it comes to cavity fighting, make sure you are brushing twice a day and flossing at least once a day to remove leftover plaque and food that is trapped in the spaces between your teeth. Additionally, mouthwash is a powerful means of protecting teeth from decay and removing food particles
Bad breath can be caused by a number of things, from the foods you eat to dry mouth, smoking, or even the medications you are taking. What many people don’t realize is that bad breath could also be a result of poor oral hygiene. To help fight bad breath, make sure you are practicing proper tooth brushing habits to remove odor-causing bacteria from the mouth, tongue and teeth. You can also try: chewing sugarless gum to stimulate saliva flow, which naturally cleanses teeth; eating a nutritious diet, as vitamin deficiency can contribute to bad breath; and using a rinse with lodged toward the back of fluoride to kill bad breath germs and prevent tooth the throat. “I recommend my patients decay. use a fluoridated mouth rinse, because fluoride is proven 5.

5. Modify your meat intake You don’t have to suddenly become a vegetarian, but try a stir fry using only veggies or substitute ground turkey for ground beef in your
favorite recipes. By making a similar substitution once a week or more, you’ll consume less calories and fat - and possibly discover some tasty variations on your go-to dishes. You may find that some substitutes actually make your diet more interesting and give you more options for healthy eating. As you work toward eating healthier, you ultimately have to find options you enjoy to achieve sustainable and nutritious diet.

Hanover’s Dee helps down Confederates Dee Taylor leads Hawks to rivalry win By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The Hanover boys basketball team overcame early foul trouble and an explosive start from Lee-Davis to walk away with 68-52 win on Friday night. Playing their third game in as many days, (and their fourth in a week that may prove to be the turning point of their season) Hanover (5-6, 2-5 Capital) came into the contest playing their best ball. Prior to hosting Lee-Davis, the Hawks had won two of their last three games and even their close loss at No. 8 Henrico was a confidence
builder. “We should have beat them,” said Hanover senior guard Dee Taylor. “Just a few shots here, turnovers, we were a few shots short of beating them.” Hanover head coach Troy Manns felt the Henrico game was a clear example of how far the Hawks have come this season. “We played well versus Henrico, defensively we played well,” he said “We had a turnover here or there but we went from turning it over 20 times the first time we played them to seven, which shows marked improvement. And defensively we’re getting better. When you improve defensively your offense will get better because you get higher percentage
shots.” On the other hand, LeeDavis (5-10, 0-7) came into Friday night’s contest winless in Capital District play and struggling for both identity and leadership. However, from the opening tip the Confederates looked like not only the better team on the court but the best team in the Capital District. Lee-Davis point guard J.D. Harvey took the opening tap, drove to the left side and drilled a jumper

4-for-4 from the floor and hit 6-of-7 free throws to hold off a valiant Lee-Davis effort and win 56-53. Due to youth, Hanover (610, 3-4 Capital) has faced struggles all season long and the rival victory could not have come at a better time for a team looking to build confidence. Therefore, Hawks coach Kevin Brooks had specific instructions for his team in the locker room. “I wrote on the board before the game, do whatever it takes to win,” he said. “Quite honestly, every single member of our team found
some part of how they could find a way to win and help us win. “I’m just really excited with their effort,” Brooks said. “We’ve had some things that haven’t gone as well as we liked and I think this group needed this and I’m proud of something going right for them. Well warranted and well deserved.” In somewhat a role reversal, Lee-Davis (8-8, 2-5) came into the contest holding the best overall record among county teams in the Capital District. And though the Confederates see ADVERSITY, pg. 45 `

nine seconds into the game. A minute later it was Harvey, who led the C-feds with 13 points, on a drive to give L-D a 4-0 lead as Hanover struggled. Sophomore Sam Rogers finally got the Hawks on the board but Lee-Davis quickly answered off an inbounds play to Shrevon Clark. It appeared the Hawks were finally on track at the six minute mark when senor Greg Lewis, Hanover’s standout guard, drove the length of the court and brought the Hanover fans to their feet with a resounding dunk to trim Lee-Davis’ lead to 6-4. But seconds later Lewis picked up his second foul and went to the bench, leaving the Hawks without their star player. “We don’t like anything easy,” Manns said. “I don’t know why but we don’t like doing
anything easy. He comes out right at the beginning and gets two fouls.” In Lewis’ absence, LeeDavis ran off seven straight points. Logan Dandridge nailed a three from the left baseline then Jordan Boze scooped in a hook and Harvey connected on a short jumper for a 13-4 Confederates’ lead. The explosive start even caught Lee-Davis head coach Trip Metzger somewhat off guard. “I told them that was the best we’ve ever come out of the gate,” Metzger said. “That’s been our biggest problem this year is not coming ready to play. I don’t know what got into them, whether it was the rivalry or what, but they were so inspired coming over here. I could tell during the warm-ups during the girl’s halftime, they were dunking the ball doing all kinds of stuff and I said, ‘Man, they’re ready to play’ and we came out,
Congratulations Jaimey Spott
hit them in the mouth early.” On the other end of the court Manns was equally surprised by Lee-Davis. “They looked very good,” he said. “I was nervous. They came out and they didn’t miss anything and we couldn’t make anything. We were 0-6 from the free throw line. We’d get a steal then turn it right back over. It was such a great atmosphere and environment for a high school basketball game I think our guys were too excited and had to calm down a little bit.” But then, as has been the problem all season for LeeDavis, the youth of the team resurfaced. Meanwhile Hanover regrouped and in the absence of Lewis, other Hawks began to step to the forefront. “It’s an opportunity for another player to step up and that’s what it’s all about and guys are taking advantage of that,” Manns said. Among those were Taylor, Justin Peebles, Uzman Mahmood and Nick Douglas. “Somebody goes down, somebody else has to step up that’s the way it is,” Manns said. It was Taylor who best seized the moment without his sidekick Lewis on the floor. “Those two guys I think they play well
together but Dee had an opportunity to take a leadership role a little bit more and he did a good job with it,” Manns said. Taylor, along with Peebles, led Hanover with 15 points each and the Hawks defense began to repeatedly forced LeeDavis turnovers. Peebles drilled a three form the right wing then Wil Atwood scored on a put-back and suddenly the Hawks were within four. Boze answered with an eight foot jumper but it was LeeDavis’ final score of the quarter. In the final 21 seconds, Taylor connected on a three and Peebles added two free throws to trim L-D’s lead to one, 15-14, heading into the second. From there the Hawks kept plugging away to hold a 31-26 lead heading into the locker room and a 48-35 lead at the end of the third. Metzger felt taking an early lead could have been the Cfeds’ undoing. “We’ve played from behind all year and we’re still looking for our leaders and we’re still looking for guys stepping up in the leadership roles,” he said. “So when the tough got going we didn’t really have anybody to turn to. Then they trapped us and trapped us and
trapped us, our guards kept trying to dribble through it. “We’re not a very smart team ball handling is one of our weaknesses and a lot of teams in the district know that,” Metzger said. “They’re going to trap us, we’ve got to have some guys step up. We’ve got to have some guys step up. We’ve got to be able to go left every now and then. I think we took it right 100 percent of the time. They just kept setting a trap on us and our guys would dribble into it with their head down and can’t see the open man, turn it over and frustration foul on the way back.” When Lewis returned for the Hawks he repeatedly burned Lee-Davis with penetration by being fouled on drives to the basket. In the second half alone, Lewis was 8-for-12 from the free throw line and finished with 14 points. Hanover’s lead swelled to 23 with less than three minutes to play before Lee-Davis made a final run to close within 16 at the end. “They came out, they punched us in the mouth first,” Taylor said. “But we didn’t take
that. We picked up the pressure. The first half wasn’t pretty but the second half we came out and played real hard.” With wins in three of their last four games, Taylor feels that he and his teammates are definitely on the right track. “I think we’re playing phenomenal,” he said. “It’s great and we can only get better. We’re going to work on our press in practice and I think we’re going to come out and shock some people.” HANOVER 68, LEE-DAVIS 52 LEE-DAVIS (5-10, 0-7 Capital) — L.

Knights reach crowning achievement Two wrestlers finish careers undefeated By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Great achievements in wrestling are nothing new for the Knights at Oak Knoll Middle School. The program that feeds wrestlers into the Central Region powerhouse Hanover High School program has had a long tradition of excellence. But this year the group of four outgoing eighth graders accomplished a feat that goes beyond the norm. Two of the young men finished their middle school careers undefeated. A third suffered only one loss in his three years at Oak Knoll and the fourth saw a career turnaround to finish this season undefeated. Last Thursday evening, Corbin Allen and J.D. Gregory caped off a remarkable run with the Knights. Though Gregory sat out the match against neighborhood rival Chickamoniny due to an injury, both he and Allen finished their middle school careers without suffering a single loss. More noteworthy than the wins was how they won. “All pins,” Allen said proudly. “All pins one Tech fall,” Gregory chimed in. Not far off their mark was Jacob Hale, who finished his middle school career with a single loss which occurred as a sixth grader. According to Oak Knoll head coach Dean Breedlove, the trio share a common work

ethic and the knowledge of what it takes to get better. “These kids understand what it takes to get to the next level,” he said. “They’ve got good parenting at home, they do well in school and they do well on the wrestling mats. They travel to all of these big time tournaments and that’s what it takes.” Breedlove’s assessment merely echoes what the wrestlers themselves say. “Just go out there and go hard,” Allen said. “Just use your technique and be smart and if things go wrong just keep your head up and keep on wrestling.” Gregory: “Just getting in the room, work hard and don’t give up.” Hale: “I just work hard. Work hard and practice hard.” Breedlove, who wrestled at Chickahominy, Atlee and Longwood University, is in his third year with the Knights and he admits the outcome has exceeded his expectations when he first came to Oak Knoll. “I tell you when I first came in it was like a roller coaster,” he said. “You don’t ever know what you’re getting with middle school. I was for-

tunate to get a good group of kids in as sixth graders. What you do is just build on that. That’s what we did. We never stopped. Each year was constant.” And it was because of the dedication and work ethic from that group as sixth graders that he made them team captains. “I was fortunate enough to get those kids and they’re hard workers,” he said. “They know what needs to be done and that’s why they’ve been captains all three years. They’ve kind of been the nucleus that pushes the other kids. I think the other kids see how well they’re doing and they want to do the same. They basically want to simulate what these kids are doing.” Over their three years of captainship, the Knights have gone 22-1, suffering the lone loss of their careers on Wednesday to rival Stonewall Jackson Middle School, 46-43. But like true leaders, they gave credit where credit was due. “Still wish we could have won yesterday, but Stonewall came out as a team and just wrestled harder than us,” Allen said. And

Below from left: Oak Knoll eighth graders Cobrin Allen, JD Gregory, Jacob Hale and Shawn Calder finished their careers with a 22-1 team record. Allen and Gregory went three years without an individual loss while Hale suffered one loss as sixth grader.
while the trio has made their mark throughout their careers, it was classmate Shawn Calder who proved to be a point of success this season. A s both a sixth and
seventh grader, Calder admittedly lacked focus. “He came in and he was a little rocky,” Breedlove said. “He didn’t want to focus in the ring, he kept playing around and I kept getting on him, getting on him and finally he came back as a seventh grader and he turned it around a little bit, wrestled a few matches for us.” But this year, Calder put it all together. “I think he matured,” Breedlove said. “He’s like, ‘You know what, I’m tired of losing. This is what I’ve got to do. I’ve got to push my team and that’s what he did. He really pushed and that’s why I made him a captain this year.” After two years of standing in the shadows, Calder finished his final season at Oak Knoll undefeated. All but one match was won by pin. “Really none of his matches were close,” Breedlove said. Next year the foursome will take their talents on to Hanover
High School with different thoughts on what it will be like to be part of the perennial regional powerhouse. Gregory looks forward to the challenge. “Yeah, it also makes you work harder,” he said. Likewise for Hale. “Just get in the room work hard. For Calder it’s the excitement. “It’s a lot of fun, sort of intimidating too.” Allen will make the transition optimistic and undaunted. “Next year I’m aiming for a state championship and if we win the Super 32 and Beast of the East and stuff,” he said. “They’re going to do well in high school, there’s no doubt in my mind,” Breedlove said. “But I hate to see them go, because now I’ve got to find new ones to step up.” And Breedlove will now turn to his team to find the next Allen, Gregory, Hale and see KNIGHTS, pg. 45 `
Yellow Jacket defense clips Eagles 69-56 By JP Beauchamp sports@mechlocal.com On Saturday afternoon in Ashland, the ODAC women’s basketball matchup between third place Bridgewater and first place Randolph-Macon proved both entertaining and dramatic. The Yellow Jackets’ spent the second half holding on to a lead while the Eagles just were not able to dig themselves out of and early hole as R-MC came away with a 69-56 win. The game began slowly but with intensity, with the Eagles pressing to keep the Jackets scoreless in the first five minutes. The Eagles’ lack of height had Bridgewater head coach Jean Willie depending on a strong defense, which was evidenced by the 20 turnovers they
forced R-MC into by game’s end. “We gotta try the press to create some plays and transition off our defense,” she said. The press appeared to catch the Jackets’ off guard. “We were prepared for it; but we didn’t act like we were prepared for it,” said R-MC senior guard Jennifer O’Briant. “It took us a little while to catch up to where they were, settle down, and get back to our game.” Teammate Taylor Wieczorek agreed. “We were getting a little frustrated, but we kept our heads up. We kept pushing through, I wasn’t too worried.” Though the press played in Bridgewater’s favor, they were not counting on having their top scorer, Jordan Burkholder, play only four minutes in the first period due to foul trouble.
R-MC head coach Carroll LaHaye said her team did the most with the opportunity. “I really thought that our team did a great job of taking advantage of that.” In Burkholder’s absence, the Jackets produced a shift in momentum defensively and Bridgewater, which came into the contest was averaging an ODAC best 74.5 points a game, was held to a season low 56 on 31 percent shooting including a 1-for-6 mark from three. R-MC’s junior guard Maggie Roy, who came into the contest at the defending ODAC Player of the Week, led the way with five steals and 12 points on the day. “We knew that they played tough defense, and all we really worked on was coming to the ball, because they do play tough
even when we get into the passing lanes,” she said. “So, we had to work on being strong with the ball and not letting them out-hustle us.” Twelve minutes into the game the Jackets tied it up 10, then began a 15-3 run that proved pivotal, to close the half, 25-13. “We let them only score ten points, and then we went on a run; and that’s what got us this win because we never let down,” Roy said. “We kept shooting the ball and eventually our shots fell.” At half-time, Willi told her Eagles; “The good news is we’re down twelve; the bad news is we turned over the ball eleven times.” Five of those turnovers came at the hands of O’Briant, who
finished the day with six steals and six points. Facing a twelve-point deficit, the Eagles came out strong in the second period with an amped up pace and intensity. For a while the game looked like it was going to be a shooting match with Burkholder back onto the floor. “Jordan Burkholder is a great leader for her team,” LaHaye said. “She was not going to be denied. She was going to do whatever she could to help her team be successful. I think when she’s on the court, her leadership ignites all the other players. I thought she was a significant factor in their intensity, and their ramping it up a little bit the second half.” Though the Eagles rallied and more than doubled their
points scored of the first period, the Jackets’ held them at bay to maintain a 10-point margin through most of the second period. “We never let them get in our heads, and even though they made runs, we always came back with our own,” Roy said. Closing to within a six points in the closing minutes, the Eagles tried fouling to stop the clock but R-MC, who was 21-for-28 from the line on the day, widened the gap by game’s end. The Yellow Jackets host Lynchburg on Tuesday Jan. 25 at 7 p.m. then host Virginia Wesleyan on Saturday at 2 p.m.

ing guards riding the pine, LeeDavis pulled out to a 19-13 lead with five minutes to play in the half. But the Hawks once again found an answer. Defensively, Hanover shut down the C-feds and held them without a field goal over the remainder of the period. Then with freshman Sarah Robertson running the point, they settled down and controlled the ball. Douglas scored on a layup, Amber Norris a free throw and Haliegh Omohundro added two more. When Rachel Fehl made a short jumper with 1:34 to play in the half Hanover pulled ahead 20-19. Lee-Davis edged back in front 22-20 but Hess, who led Hanover with 18 points, answered with a three. Lee-Davis’ Logan Bryan, who led all scorers with 19 points, scored five straight for the C-feds to pull ahead 27-23 but Hess drilled another three with four seconds remaining to trim the lead to one heading into the locker room.
“I thought Sarah Robertson was tremendous in the first half, a freshman coming in and having to handle the ball like that, great job,” Brooks said. “Erica Hess making free throws and hitting three or four threes in the first half to keep us in the game when we were really struggling.” Coming out in the second half, Bryan quickly pushed LeeDavis’ lead back to three but the Hawks answered on a shot from Fehl, a plus-one field goal from Woolard and a jumper from Douglas to take a 33-30 lead. Hanover pushed that margin to 39-33 with 5:26 left in the game, but it was Lee-Davis turn to answer. A pair of free throws from Caroline Naumann (14 points) were followed by a layup from Bryan and two free throws from Gardner to tie the game at 39 with 3:38 to play. Douglas put the Hawks back on top but Naumann swished two freebies to re-tie the game at 41 with 1:28 to play. Neither team could take
advantage of opportunities down the stretch to win the game. With 1:01 to play, Douglas missed the front end of a 1-and-1. Lee-Davis knocked the rebound out and on the inbounds play Hanover threw the ball away. The C-feds took possession in the final minute and looked to run down the clock to take the last shot of the game. With the seven seconds to play and the offense looking static, Lee-Davis head coach Alvin Puller called a timeout. Unfortunately, for the C-feds, the timeout came at the same moment Bryan drove into the lane and was knocked to the floor on what would have been a foul. On the inbounds, Naumann missed a shot and the ball went out of bounds off Bryan with :03 to play, giving Hanover a shot at last minute heroics. But the Hawks’ inbounds pass was picked off by Naumann at midcourt and her buzzer beater was just left of the basket. In overtime, the lead seesawed back and forth until Hess was fouled while attempting a
three with a minute and a half to play. Hess made all three free throws then Throckmorton drilled a dagger three from the right baseline seconds later for a 53-48 Hanover lead. But a three from the right wing by Bryan pulled Lee-Davis within two with 34 seconds to play. With nine seconds remaining, Norris made one of two free throws to put the Hawks up 54-51, but Bryan scored again to pull L-D within one with six seconds to play. Hess was fouled and made both free throws to give Hanover a 56-53 lead with three seconds remaining and Bryan’s shot at the buzzer was short. “I think the thing that’s unfortunate about a game like this is, it’s such a well played game, it’s a shame that somebody loses,” Brooks said. “I think that’s the kind of games that you’ll see in our county going forward. I think all three teams are pretty young, pretty competitive and pretty balanced and I think you’ll see that a lot.”

The Hawks’ first obstacle came six minutes into the game when point guard Taylor Woolard went to the bench for the remainder of the half after picking up her third foul. Then to compound matters, soon afterward Lee-Davis junior Trina Gardner hit her second three of the contest to give the C-feds an 11-6 lead.

Jackets’ self-centered approach downs Hornets No. 10 R-MC routs Lynchburg 83-44
www.mechlocal.com See slideshow & video highlights online!
By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The Randolph-Macon men’s basketball team took a different approach coming into Wednesday night’s ODAC matchup against Lynchburg. Though the Yellow Jackets were on a 10-game winning streak, head coach Nathan Davis felt his squad was still lacking. “I don’t think we’ve played as well as we’re capable of the last few weeks,” he said. Therefore in the days leading up to the contest, Davis put an emphasis on his team concentrating on themselves rather than their opponent and simply playing well. “We’re just trying to concentrate now on trying to play a 40 minute game,” said senior forward Brandon Braxton. “Not have any mental lapses, mistakes and just try to get better every day.” The efforts paid off as No. 10 R-MC (15-2 / 8-1 ODAC) picked up their 11th win in a row, running off to an early lead to rout visiting Lynchburg (6-11 / 2-7 ODAC) 83-44. Senior guard Eric Pugh led a group of four Yellow Jackets in double figures. Pugh scored 19 points on 5-of-9 shooting, was 3-for-5 beyond the arc, had four rebounds, two steals, dished out three assists and had no turnovers in 23 minutes of play. Matching Pugh’s output, Calvin Croskey chipped in 13 points on 5-of-9, 3-for-6 beyond the arc, dished out three assists and had no turnovers in 25 minutes of action. Coming off his second ODAC Player of the Week performance this season, Danny Jones was 5-of-8 from the floor

for 13 points with five rebounds and no turnovers. Braxton tallied 11 points and seven rebounds for the Jackets. “Coming into tonight it was more about us, not what they (Lynchburg) were wanting to do,” Croskey said. “It was more about executing our stuff. We’ve been winning but we haven’t played too well; what we’re capable of the last couple of games, so we just wanted to come down here tonight and execute our game plan, step it up on defense, because our defense hasn’t been too good. We just want to come out and do our thing. We didn’t want to worry about Lynchburg it was all about us tonight.” Even though R-MC shot 50 percent for the game, defense was the key. The Yellow Jackets held Lynchburg to 25 percent shooting in the first half and 28 percent for the game including 15.4 percent from three point range.

January 26, 2011
“Defense is our key the last two practices, it was defense, defense, defense, so when we came out here it was just natural to come out and want to play defense,” Croskey said. “We just wanted to get after it. Lynchburg can play so we just wanted to show it was all about defense when it comes to us.” “I thought we gave up too much penetration the last couple of weeks,” Davis said. “On our matchup we weren’t flying around, we were too passive and we wanted to get back to being aggressive and play the defense we’re capable of playing. I was still disappointed. We gave up too much in transition in the first half. Nine of their 15 points came in transition so we’re going to have to clean that up the next couple of days.” It took exactly three and a half minutes for that R-MC defense to show itself. With 16:30 left to play in the first half, the Hornets’
Nate Campbell (18 points, 11 rebounds) hit a short jumper that tied the game at six. But from there it was all R-MC. The Yellow Jackets defense tightened to hold Lynchburg to nine points over the remainder of the half. Meanwhile the offense went on a 24-2 run over the next 9:32 to break the game open. R-MC finished the half shooting 60 percent from the floor including 6-of-10 threes. “Last game I know we shot a lot of threes and we were making it there so we knew they were probably going try to be tight on our shooters,” Braxton said. “We just tried to concentrate on getting it inside and get some decent touches there and when they doubled we’d be able to kick it out, move the ball back and forth and they’d have to play defense.” The big lead gave Davis a
change to play everyone on his bench, and most of the littleused players logged substantial minutes. Former Hanover standout Dylan Cole was scoreless and pulled down two rebounds in seven minutes of action. And though former Lee-Davis standout Chris Cook logged only three minutes, he made the most of his time, drilling a three moments into the game and pulling down two rebounds. Most impressive was the powerful inside play of freshman Jamaal Powell. In seven minutes of action, Powell slammed home a dunk and was 3-of-4 from the floor for six points and three rebounds. Davis was glad that he was
able to get all of them into the game. “We’ve got a very deep team and I feel bad at times for guys like Dylan Cole and Jamie Robinson, Jamal Powell, Andre Simon just to name a few, that really compete in practice well but you look at the guys with it’s hard to give them time,” he said. “So any time you get the opportunity to get them on the floor it’s something that we’re going to do.” For game stats go to www. mechlocal.com.
