sumption fee increase. Harris used the theme of “Preserve Key Services and Realign Staff Resources” in his budget plans. Marcy Cotov, budget division director, addressed the supervisors last Wednesday, saying the proposal calls for the following tax rates to remain the same: ❍ Personal property tax rate $3.57. ❍ Aircraft personal property tax rate at $0.50. ❍ Volunteer fire and rescue personal property tax rate at $1.78. ❍ Disabled veterans vehicle personal property tax rate at $1.78. ❍ Machinery and tools tax rate at $3.57. ❍ Merchants’ capital tax rate at $1.90. ❍ Generating equipment tax rate at $0.55. ❍ Real property tax rate at $0.81. ❍ Mobile home tax rate at $0.81. Under fees, the proposal again calls for them to remain the same: ❍ Hanover County Recycling Service District fee, $22.80 per lot. ❍ Atlee Manor Sewer Service District fee, $780 per lot. In fee changes, the vehicle decal fee would increase from $3 to $10 and the stormwater management fee would increase from $1,250 to $1,700 per equivalent residential unit (ERU). Other proposed fee changes include: ❍ A water consumption fee increase of three percent. ❍ Sewer consumption fee increase of one percent. ❍ Technical adjustments – mandatory sewer connection exceptions; new construction, winter quarter adjustment; and non-owner occupied premises payment guarantee. Other budget approvals involving items that do not require a public hearing are: ❍ Increase EMS recovery program
money for nonprofit Hanover charities since 1984. Applications will be accepted through Wednesday, March 31, 2010. Any nonprofit Hanover
fees. ❍ Increase Cannery fees. ❍ Amend refuse regulations. ❍ Amend personnel policy. As the budget process continues, Dr. Stewart D. Roberson, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools, reviewed the school system’s proposal. He told the supervisors “Our record is what it is because we have taken time to get to where we are and have committed resources.” He said “When I consider the challenge that we are all facing in this economy, it is absolutely daunting.” He referred to “the value of the asset of which we are all entrusted,” as well as “the opportunity to work with the people in the community. It’s the tremendous service which is provided daily by our public school system that we can all find our true north in tough times.” Roberson has used a theme of “Preserving a Caring High Performing School Culture” in his budget proposal. “If you maintain a vision of what you want to look like in tough times — and especially after tough times have passed — you want to retain an image worth replicating and vision to always pursue.” With success in AYP (Adequate Yearly Progress) performance, graduation rates, Governor’s Awards and major investments in No Child Left Behind, the superintendent said “It is a culture which has been noted and praised from the outside for over a decade. Hanover is still viewed as the jewel in the crown in the Richmond localities.” He said the district is retaining its vision. When the Hanover County School Board adopted the budget on Jan. 26, Roberson said “We knew that we can reasonably anticipate revenue losses” from the years 2008 to 2012. He said there is “hope that the House (of Delegates) and Senate budgets will provide relief for us.” Revenue issues also have been affected

by enrollment trends, with fewer kindergartners entering the system as graduates leave. “We have to assume that more children of school age will come to our county.” Roberson said a surge has been seen in business partnerships. He also praised the “remarkable” work of parent leaders. Before Roberson’s presentation, the chairman of the School Board thanked the supervisors “for your continued support and work.” John F. Axselle III commended them for “the wonderful support you give the children, the education system of Hanover County. You as a group have made up a difference in some really tough times.” “We have a great community. Without them, we wouldn’t be able to accomplish these great feats,” Axselle said. “And it’s the worst of times, the perfect storm is here. Budget times are extremely tough. How do we maintain this school system? These cuts hurt deeper and how do we minimize the long-term impact this could have on the children of Hanover.” Standing before the supervisors, he said, “I know that you have very difficult decisions to make. Some will have a short-term impact. We will eventually have a strong economy again and things will begin to be restored. But I ask you as you deliberate during this tough time to think about the impact it will have on the children of Hanover.” Supervisor John E. Gordon Jr. thanked those representing the school district “for all that you do. I admire your work. I envy your work. The children of Hanover County are in good hands because of the work that you do. I believe in you and I believe in your commitment and I believe in the work that you do. And I know that the children will continue to excel.” He also said “I believe it’s a responsibility of each of us to provide young people with the tools and the skills so they can grow to achieve that full potential and I know that you are all committed to that.”

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
Pothole monster might swallow your vehicle Returning to Mechanicsville from Ashland the other day served as a reminder of learning to drive. If you can maneuver the twists and turns — and hills — of West Virginia, you can drive just about anywhere. A friend who relocated to Southern California found that to be true the first time she found herself in eight lanes of traffic. What we are facing these days, however, comes in the form of a road beast, also known as the pothole. Arriving in Virginia in 2005 meant fewer two-lane curvy roads and what originally seemed to be well maintained highway systems. Well, it didn’t take long to discover the cries for transportation funds were becoming more vocal. The need is there, the want is there — but where is the money? Interstates 295, 95 and 64 have taken on an obstacle course appearance. Years ago, a hurried driver (who shall remain anonymous — OK, yes, it was this writer) came around a curve when — bam — the right front tire fell victim to a pothole. It wasn’t a pretty scene. The depth of some of the potholes in and around Hanover County could do some serious damage to a vehicle. With the state suffering budgetary woes and the additional — and unexpectedly high — costs of more snow removals than usual in a winter here, can the Virginia Department of Transportation look toward repairing potholes that almost take on a sinkhole appearance?! As the General Assembly continues its session, let’s hope monies can be located to take care of our education, public safety and transportation needs. That’s not to diminish the significance and importance of other services, but our leaders are now being forced to take a serious look at all sources and expenses. While Hanover County leaders proceed with school district and government budgets, we also hope the state can loosen its purse strings to help a system that has been forced to take on more fiscal responsibility. Oh, and watch where you’re driving: A pothole might get you. Melody Kinser

One of the precious freedoms we enjoy is to vote for our president. Someone wins and someone loses. We do not have to agree with the winner but we do have the obligation as Christ-like ones to cover him/ her in prayer. As Mr. Davis said, intercede and ask God to bless President Obama with wisdom, favor and guidance. Why? Because God our Creator tells us to do so. Of course, when you know more than God what is best, you say ugly things and write ugly letters. It hurts to know the kind of ignorance that exists in the Christian community. To think you can tear down our leaders — local, state or national, cause them to fail and the country will thrive/survive under the blessings of God? If this obstinacy and outright disrespect such as never seen before does not stop, it’s just a matter of time. A house divided against itself shall not stand. God cannot lie. The sad part about those unkind and sometimes vicious letters and conversations is that most identify themselves as being Christian. Oh, well, so did the Ku Klux Klan. Since President Obama has been in office, I’ve learned so much about the depth of one’s hatred. Out of the heart the mouth speaks. I thought I’d seen it all during the days of racial discrimination, which I had hoped was mostly behind us. But, as the old folks will say, it’s still alive and well. All that was needed was the opportunity to revive it. The election of Barack Obama as president of the United States of America provided that opening. The “Christian closet haters”
joined the outright haters and if you want to see/hear what they do — read their letters and watch your cable news channels (especially all those “Christians” on channel 30). They disrespect our president in the worst way, write ugly, disrespectful letters and engage in even worse conversations among themselves. The reason for all the uproar and ugly letters has nothing to do with our president’s decision-making or the economy. This economy was handed to him — remember? If that were so, those same uproars and ugly letters would have been around for eight (8) years. Search your heart. It is solely because he is part AfricanAmerican occupying a heretofore white house. Period. End of story. Did you hear such uproars before he took office? President Obama took the office of a country in its worst crisis ever, in addition to two (2) active wars. Did you really expect him to have solved it all within 12 months? What happened to our previous president/vice president who left the mess behind after having eight (8) years to make all the “right” decisions (especially the former vice president who seems to have all the answers now that he is out of
office). You mean he did not see the storm coming as brilliant as he is? He could have stopped it you know, certainly within 12 months! President Obama was left to govern a country in the worst condition ever in its history. Be as it may, we who are wise will continue to do what God has instructed us in His Word. Love one another. Pray for one another, especially for the unkind ones. Trust in the Lord. Wait on the Lord. Watch and see the salvation of the Lord. Envy not the oppressor, nor take on any of his ways. Straight is the gate and narrow is the way which leads unto life, and few there are that find it. Jean Grantham Mechanicsville

Don’t raise our real estate taxes I want to recognize the statements made by the Hanover Board of Supervisors Chairman Ed Via III a few weeks ago. He stated that there were no plans to raise the real estate tax rate for Hanover residents. I want to show my support for Mr. Via’s statement. The bad economy is affecting all of us and everyone has looked at their household budgets and have made cuts in their everyday spending. So I ask, “Why can’t our local, state and federal governments make these cuts too?” Raising taxes will not solve the budget crisis however, making the right cuts to the budget is the right thing to do.

Owning vs. Renting • You can build equity in your own home – In an apartment or rental property, you can’t! • The interest portion of your mortgage payment may be tax deductible – No portion of a rent payment is tax deductible. (Consult your tax advisor for details.) • The principal & interest payments of a fixed-rate mortgage never increase – Rent payments almost always increase when your lease is renewed. • In a single family home, you have more privacy and don’t hear your neighbors as much – In an apartment, you share the walls, floor and/or ceiling. • You have the freedom to decorate, make improvements and add security features in your own home – In an apartment, you have to live with what the landlord provides.

The problem with raising taxes is that once a tax is increased rarely does it go back down, even after the budget crisis ends. two to three years from now, when the economy is back on track and the county’s incoming revenue is higher, that extra money will be wasted on new projects instead of giving the money back to the taxpayers. The largest county budget expense is the schools. I want to reach out to those residents and the PTA that have expressed concerns over the school budget cuts. I ask you, “Why should I have to pay higher taxes for the things you want? I am so tired of paying for everyone else. If you want to keep the proposed school budget, then you offer to pay for it out of your own pocket. Don’t ask the residents who are against raising taxes to pay for it. The Washington-Henry Elementary School PTA just sent home a letter that stated “Can you imagine your child not going to P.E. (physical education), art and music each week.” To answer that, “Yes, I can imagine school without art, P.E. and music every week for my two children.” Once again, organizations like the PTA fight against the budget cuts but the only suggestions they offer are to raise taxes. I believe that the school budget crisis has come about because our schools today have become a huge bureaucracy that the taxpayers have been forced to support. Why is it that the taxpayers have to pay for a principal and a vice principal at every school? We need to cut the outrageous administration cost in the schools and look at ending the pension programs for all school
employees. Additionally the School Board needs to look at cutting the Head Start program and athletic programs or have those that want these programs pay for it themselves. They also should cut the number of special education teachers and associated programs and increase the number of kids in every classroom. Schools should privatize the school bus transportation and eliminate the free meals (breakfast and lunch) programs. It is not the schools’ responsibility to transport and feed our kids. Do the kids starve during the weekends and summer months when school is closed? I don’t think so. The parents need to take more responsibility for their own kids and stop pushing their responsibility onto the taxpayers. When did the people of America become such an entitlement society? Another way to save money is have the children go to school for four long days instead of five short days a week. My son is at school six and a half hours a day, which includes lunch. Why can’t we have the kids go an extra hour and a half for four days so the fifth day the school can be closed, which will cut down on the utility and maintenance costs? I know some of you will disagree with my suggestions, but we need to make tough decisions or we might be forced to cut the core programs like math, science, English and history. We the people need to wake up and stop the local, state and federal governments from spending our hard earned money on things that we can not afford. Tim Reilly Mechanicsville
Pothole problem surprising delay
Here it is the very first day of NASCAR starting back. I am watching the Daytona 500 and in total shock! With all the modern technology in the world, why is the delay so long over a pothole?! The drivers have been on winter vacation and now are ready to rock ’n’ roll! I would like to say a special welcome to the newest driver, Danica Patrick. I have a feeling she is going to show all the boys who is boss! Good luck, girlfriend, let’s rock! Kim Zitta Phelps Richmond
Petition will hold us back The petition filed by our state’s Attorney General will only serve to hold our state and our country back at a time when we desperately need to be moving forward. Dozens of other states are already taking advantage of the benefits a clean energy economy can bring, implementing their own plans to reduce global warming pollution and grow clean energy jobs. Despite the outlandish claims in this frivolous lawsuit, the science is clear — global warming is happening and it does put our public welfare at risk. The Environmental Protection Agency’s efforts to reduce global warming pollution represents years of careful and considered analysis by career scientists and takes tens of thousands of public comments in account.

Iran has again rejected generous diplomatic offers and instead is expanding their nuclear program. The peaceful world does not have much time to get where we need to go — preventing Iran from getting nuclear weapons. Serious sanctions must be put in place to convince Iran to change their minds. The United Nations Security Council and key groups such as the European Union can peacefully stop Iran — but it must be done now. Nuclear proliferation is one of the greatest dangers to world peace. The Iranian president has said that he would share nuclear technology with others. Indeed, Iran is the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism. It is arming, funding and training Hamas and Hezbollah. It is supporting terrorists who are killing innocents in Iraq and in other nations. Iran is undermining peace efforts between Israel and the Palestinians that could lead to a two-state solution and peace. It is time to persuade Iran to be a peaceful nation. If they are emboldened by possession of nuclear capability, Iran could increase its sponsorship of terrorism, and put nuclear materials into the hands of terrorists who could strike anywhere. Serious nations need to put sanctions as a tool in their toolkits to get Iran to stop its nuclear program. We must work urgently and effectively to ensure that Iran does not get nuclear weapons. Please, support serious sanctions to peacefully stop Iran today! Bill Boyer III Henrico

McDougle focuses on difficult budget process Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com On Thursday, Feb. 25, Sen. Ryan McDougle, R-Hanover, said he made the difficult decision to vote against the biennial budget as proposed by his Senate Democrat colleagues. He said that this year the state faces the most challenging budget dilemma in the modern era. As is the case throughout the country, the Commonwealth must contend with decreased revenue as businesses and citizens have struggled to maintain fiscal balance in this distressed economy. McDougle decided to vote against the Senate version of the budget because it continues to fund recently-created programs and seeks to reverse sound policy in vital areas where public safety could be vulnerable. He conceded that the Senate’s budget bill as passed made significant strides towards a balanced budget, but not enough. In particular,
certain programs initiated during the past two administrations remain funded at levels commensurate with the higher revenue levels from those periods. “Obviously it is extremely difficult to reduce government programs so dramatically, however just as most Virginians have personally faced tough budget decisions, it is our responsibility to do the same,” McDougle said. “The fact remains we simply cannot spend money that we don’t have. It’s a bad government habit that represents a long, slippery slope if we become accustomed to asking our citizens for more, especially when so many of them are earning less. It just doesn’t add up.” The senator said he was also deeply concerned about measures within the Senate budget amendments that challenge great gains made in public safety in past years by former Gov. George Allen. According to a report written in 2001 called Truth-In-Sentencing in Virginia, “Truth-in-sentencing
(TIS) is the most prominent sentencing reform movement of the 1990s. The primary objective of TIS is to more closely align the sentence imposed by the judge with the actual

amount of time served in prison by restricting or eliminating parole eligibility and good time. In many instances, these reforms are accompanied by significant increases in the penalties for violent offenders.” The Senate budget language erodes Virginia’s truth-in-sentencing no parole reform policy and authorizes the use of alternative sentencing regardless of what was ordered by the Judge or Jury and expands early release provisions for certain
‘An Evening with George Will’ scheduled Thursday at R-MC Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com On Thursday, March 4, Randolph-Macon College in Ashland will host “An Evening with George Will” at 7:30 p.m. in Blackwell Auditorium in the R-MC Center for Performing Arts, as part of the Arthur McKinley Reynolds Lecture Series. The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist will present “The Political Argument Today,” which will focus on the Washington political scene and offer a glimpse into what the future holds for public affairs, public policy and American society. The event is open to the public and seating is first-come, first-served. Will is a columnist for The Washington Post and Newsweek magazine. His syndicated news column, which has run since 1974, appears in about 400 newspapers throughout the United States and Europe. In addition, eight collections of his Washington Post and Newsweek columns have been published. Will also has published four books on political theory, Statecraft as Soulcraft: What Government Does (1983), The New Season: A Spectator’s
Guide to the 1988 Election (1987), Restoration: Congress, Term Limits and The Recovery of Deliberative Democracy (1992) and One Man’s America: The Pleasures and Provocations of our Singular Nation (2008). In 1990, Will published Men At Work: The Craft of Baseball, which topped The New York Times best-seller list for two months. In 1998, Scribner published Bunts: Curt Flood, Camden Yards, Pete Rose and Other Reflections on Baseball, a best-selling collection of new and previously published writings by Will on baseball. On television, Will can be seen every Sunday on the ABC Network television program, This Week. Arthur McKinley Reynolds is a retired ophthalmologist who earned a bachelor’s degree in physics from R-MC in 1947 and a degree in medicine from VCU School of Medicine.

inmates. “Cuts to education, social and healthcare programs are problematic for all Virginians; however, safety must come first,” McDougle said. “Law enforcement history is laden with tragic results of bad public safety policies established for the sake of misguided budget decisions.” Support for fiscal responsibility, tax incentive legislation In order to encourage more responsible state spending moving forward, McDougle said the Senate passed Senate Bill 431, a bill that mandates certain reporting and absolute transparency in state agencies. The bill, which passed the Senate without opposition and now is working its way through the House, will require state agencies to maintain a transaction register including a complete record of all expenditures made with details such as the vendor’s name, date of payment and amount and description of the expense. It also requires posting of credit card reports for all state employees that
have been issued one. “In keeping with our fresh approach of implementing best practices in our financial management for our state, this legislation provides for more accountability within our state agencies, making it clear what is being spent with our taxpayer’s valuable dollars,” McDougle said. Continuing its trend towards improving the environment for sound economic recovery, McDougle said the Generally Assembly continues to pass meaningful legislation meant to provide tax relief to Virginia residents and businesses. Senate Bill 428, which recently passed through the Senate unanimously, is now swiftly moving in the House. The law would provide tax exemptions for capital gains for the amount taxed under federal income tax standards. “Anything the Virginia legislature can reasonably do to encourage private investment in Virginia right now is good government,” according to the local senator.

I am learning so much about Virginia history that I did not know before coming to the VHS.” Rose, who is married and has two children, said she loves Mechanicsville. Her favorite part about the area is its small town feel. “Even as the county continues to grow, Mechanicsville has small local parades. Every year in December when you hear a lot of sirens and see flashing lights outside your house, it is most likely the annual Hanover County fire company driving through the neighborhoods with Santa Claus. All of the neighbors go outside to see the Santa Runs every year. It is something we all look forward to.”

The Hanover Democrats’ Annual Pancake Breakfast at 9 a.m. Saturday, March 6, at the Ashcreek Recreation Center at 10857 Linderwood Drive will feature a walk down memory lane. The original sign from the Miller & Rhoads Tea Room will be on display, along with other Tea Room memorabilia. The sign is owned by Carolyn Griffis of Cold Harbor. Griffis’ late husband, Bob, bought the
sign as a gift to her when the store closed. “The Tea Room was special to us because we used to meet their often for lunch. And because it is special to a lot of long time residents, we’ll take photos of anyone wishing to have their picture taken with the sign,” Griffis said. The Pancake Breakfast, which will also feature speakers and a silent auction, is free and open to all those interested in the Democratic Party and Democratic ideals.

In this time of scarce financial resources, Bank of America employees are stepping up to help provide much-needed supplies for YWCA families. During January and February, Bank of America employees organized a donation drive to collect new linens for families entering the YWCA of Richmond’s emergency shelters.
Each year the YWCA’s shelters serve more than 200 women and children who are displaced due to domestic violence. During their time in a shelter, clients receive counseling and support and are able to locate critical financial and educational resources. The Bank of America team collected a large supply of linens, enough to assist families throughout

A medical care clinic is being offered from 6 to 9 p.m. Tuesdays at the Shady Grove United Methodist Church as part of the Hanover Interfaith Free Clinics. The clinics started with a small group of parishioners at St. James the Less Episcopal Church in Ashland working together to remodel several Sunday School classrooms into St. James the Less Free Clinic, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation. In October 2006, the clinic opened its doors to patients. As the need for more space grew, several nearby churches offered to sponsor additional clinics in their facilities. In 2009, the corporation name was changed to Hanover Interfaith Free Clinics, which
reflects the multiple churches working together “to show love, respect and care for those in need.” Hanover County residents 18 years and older who are low income and have no insurance for needed care are eligible. The clinics are supported solely by grants and donations. Managed by Beth-Marie Hembrecht, the Cheryl Watson Memorial Clinic joins with four other clinics: medical/dental care, St. James the Lee Episcopal Church in Ashland; eye care, Shiloh Baptist Church in Ashland; mental health care, Ashland Christian Church, Disciples of Christ, in Ashland; and dental care, Mechanicsville Christian Center in Mechanicsville. For more information on the Shady Grove UMC location clinic, call 559-0486.

ast Sunday, Feb. 28th was a special day. It was a day of celebration known as “Purim,” a Jewish holiday that marks the historic and courageous actions of a young girl named Hadassa 2470 years ago – actions that saved a nation. Of course, you know her better by her other name: Esther. Her story is one of the most exciting in all of the Bible. It has everything a great story needs: A beautiful heroine who rises from obscurity to become queen, an evil villain who is out to destroy her and all her people, spies, intrigue, a desperate chance to thwart the wicked plot, unexpected twists, and a great ending where good triumphs and evil is vanquished! If you have never read the book of Esther, read it this week – or better yet, read it to your kids for their bedtime story! he hero of our story, Esther, was a Jew living in exile in Persia. The evil villain’s name was Haman who was filled with demonic hate for Israel bent on genocide. The Bible says Haman was an “Agagite” which means he was a descendant of Agag. (Es. 9:24) Remember him? Agag was the king of the Amalekites that Saul was supposed to utterly destroy about 600 years earlier. (1 Sam. 15) Because Saul failed to obey God and completely wipe out the Amalekites, Saul was rejected as king of Israel and some descendants of Agag survived to perpetuate his line which would eventually extend all the way to Haman. But why did God want Saul to wipe out the Amalekites? Because God knew what they intended for his people. The Almalekites were filled with hate for God’s people and were intent on wiping out Israel. Amalek was a grandson of Esau (Gen. 36:12) and you know the history between Jacob (Israel) and Esau, the father of all the surrounding nations. Four hundred years after Jacob and Esau, Moses would bring Israel out of Egypt on the exodus back to Israel. The descendants of Amalek who had now grown into a nation of their own, were one of their first adversaries. The Amalekites attacked Israel even before they reached Mt. Sinai. (Ex.17) There Joshua led the army against them while Moses interceded on the mountain and after the battle, Moses makes an interesting comment. He reveals a new name of God, “Jehovah Nissi,” meaning “God is my banner,” and proclaims that the LORD would be “at war with the Amalekites” – this people filled with hate for God and the Jews – “from generation to generation.” (Ex. 17:16) Fast forward 450 years to Saul: God commands the destruction of Amalek to prevent the slaughter of the Jews, but Saul fails, so the cycle continues. Now jump 600 more years to the time of Esther. The descendants of Agag the Amalekite have now been assimilated into Persia as revealed in the person of Haman. The same devilish plot to destroy the Jews is still afoot. What did Moses say? “From generation to generation!” Again God intervenes, this time through Esther, and God’s people are miraculously saved! The desire of Satan to kill the Jews has been evident from the beginning, since “Salvation is from the Jews.” The devil wants to destroy the “mother” of Christ… Israel! (Rev.12:13-17) ing Solomon wrote “There is nothing new under the sun” and Cole Porter reminded us that “Everything old is new again!” …. the pattern continues! Two generations ago it was Hitler with his “final solution” to exterminate the Jews and right now a Persian leader, named Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is hatching a plot to, in his own words: “Wipe Israel off the map.” In the very near future the Amalekites will strike at Israel again. They will try to utterly destroy God’s people. But you can be assured that God will miraculously and supernaturally intervene. God has used military might in the past, Joshua’s army over 3,000 years ago, the 82nd Airborne 65 years ago and the IDF in ’48, ’67, and ’72. There were kings and leaders who obeyed God and were used as instruments of deliverance for Israel, and others who, for political expediency like Saul, refused to obey, and failed. God even used a young girl named Esther to stop the evil plot. What will he use now? Who will he raise up today? That remains to be seen, but you can be sure that God will accomplish it! And next week, next month, next year, when you see it unfold on CNN and FOXnews remember all this history. Remember God told us what would happen before it took place ... and now you know … The rest of the story!

The production is described as “a mustsee for husbands and young men, as well as mature young and older women.” Glave is said to give “a touching performance, including moments of laughter, moments of tears and anger and finally a satisfying resolution.” The play, designed for mature audiences, was taken from the blogs she wrote during her battle with breast cancer.

Since moving to South Carolina, she has performed with the Charleston Stage Company, Theater 145, Footlight Players, Dock Street Theater, the Village Playhouse and was in the Spoleto Theater series. Her performances range from outrageous comedies to high dramas. Glave has been performing in Charleston for 20 years.

the entire year. Families will receive a brand new set of linens to use while living in the shelter and can take these linens with them once they transition to safe permanent housing. The new linens help families start fresh and begin their journey toward safety and selfsufficiency. “When individuals come together and conduct donation drives, the impact is profound. Our families are desperately in need of the basic supplies that many of us take for granted. Donation drives, such as the one conducted by Bank of America employees, ensure that our clients’ needs are met and allow us to allocate more of our funds toward programming. It is an enormous help and we truly
value our corporate and community partners,” Cassandra Emery, YWCA executive director, said. Despite the success of this drive, the need for supplies persists. The YWCA of Richmond maintains a wish list of items that are needed. Groups interested in assisting the YWCA by organizing and implementing their own donation drive may contact Kate Brickley at 643-6761, extension 100 or kbrickley@ ywcarichmond.org for more information. The YWCA of Richmond provides comprehensive services to victims of domestic and sexual violence, including hospital accompaniment, free emergency shelter, counseling and 24-hour crisis hotline.

A bill proposed by Del. Christopher Peace, RMechanicsville, that would set a drug-free policy requirement for home care organizations awaits action in the Senate after unanimously passing in the House. “The ultimate point of the bill, which the revisions got to the heart of,” Peace said, “is that those who are responsible for the elderly and infirm – our most vulnerable citizens – and who work in the most intimate environment – our homes – shouldn’t be doing drugs.” The original version of the bill, HB708, stated that certain licensed home care organizations would not be able to hire paid workers who had been convicted of a drug-possession or distribution felony. It also stated that those home care organizations that did not meet the licensing requirements laid out in the bill could hire those who had been convicted of similar felonies if the home care business did a background check and determined the person had been rehabilitated. The version of HB708 that is now awaiting a vote in the Health Care subcommittee of the Senate is a more generalized form of the original, except that there are no longer any provi-
sions for denying employment to those with drug-associated felonies. Instead, employers would have to report all positive tests to that organization’s licensing board, which would then
office staffs or providers, if current employees do test positive, they must begin mandatory rehabilitation and show that it has been effective before they can return to work.
“The ultimate point of the bill, which the revisions got to the heart of, is that those who are responsible for the elderly and infirm — our most vulnerable citizens — and who work in the most intimate environment — our homes — shouldn’t be doing drugs.” CHRISTOPHER PEACE R-Mechanicsville Virginia House of Delegates
decide the penalties for the person involved. The current bill is more of a safeguard of a policy already in place, Jim Beckner, president of the Instructive Visiting Nurse Association in Richmond, said. “The bill is consistent with policies already,” Beckner said. “But it benefits the security and peace of mind of patients. It will also reduce the number of random drug screenings, worker’s compensation and insurance.” The IVNA does not hire people who test positive on drug tests for hire or if a background check revealed anything having to do with drugs, Beckner said. Depending on the decision of
“It’s [Peace’s] bill,” Marcia Tetterton, executive director of the Virginia Association for Home Care, said. “The industry isn’t asking for it.” Tetterton agreed with the comments that Beckner made. “Most of my members [of the VAHC] already have this policy in place,” Tetterton said. “And most workers’ comp requires some sort of drug policy like this.” Peace believes in its common sense and that it will pass the Senate later this session. He said, “These people are taking care of someone’s grandmother and I don’t think that [this bill is] unreasonable.”

DMVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Virginia Highway Safety Office (VAHSO) is accepting applications to support programs throughout Virginia that strive to reduce traffic deaths and injuries. The deadline for transportation safety grant submissions is March 15. The funding period for approved applications is Oct. 1, 2010, through Sept. 30, 2011. Applicants selected for the program participate on a costreimbursement basis. Interested applicants are required to make submissions online at www.dmvNOW.com. To receive access to the
online application, applicants should contact the project monitor assigned to their area. Visit http://www.dmv. virginia.gov/webdoc/safety/ resources/contacts.pdf for a list of project monitors. Project monitors can answer specific questions about the guidelines for grant applications. Applications must support Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s primary transportation safety goal of reducing the number of deaths and serious injuries resulting from traffic crashes. Programs receiving grant funds work toward increasing safety belt and child seat usage, deterring aggressive and drunk driving, and promoting aware-
ness of motorcycle safety, and the risks for teen and senior drivers. The VAHSO is responsible for administering the funds and has established measurable objectives for each of the nearly 300 grant requests awarded each year. Future funding requests are determined by the measurable progress toward these established performance objectives. The Board of Transportation Safety, with 12 members appointed by the governor, recommends approval of the grant applications.

ties for the grades K through 5 kids. “We try to get the schools together for a fun night once a year,” Henry Clay principal Teresa Keck said. The two adjacent schools are in somewhat of a unique situation in that all other elementaries in Hanover County serve K through 5 students. In Ashland, K through two students go to Henry Clay while third, fourth and fifth graders attend Gandy. The theme of this year’s event was “Once Upon a School”, an evening of magic and fun featuring storytellers, physical activities and other fun and educational activities. “The kids get to dress up and we’re going to give them crowns when they come in,” Keck said. “They get to play some PE games and go to the technology labs as well as other activities,” she added. There also were stations for mathematics and reading.
Keck said the curriculum night serves as an introduction for Clay students to get the feel of their next campus. “We think it makes the transition much easier for them when they feel comfortable. It takes some of the anxiety out of changing schools,” she said. The younger students feel the natural exhilaration associated with a new and bigger campus, Keck sad. “The Henry Clay children are so excited just to come over and see the big school with a big campus,” she said. While one group headed for story time, another took off for the library for math activities; another headed for the gym for some cart relay races. “We wanted to make it fun for everyone tonight,” Keck said. “We want family involvement and this is a good way to accomplish that,” she added. Keck said combining educational activities in a fun environment means the campuses are better connected and families feel a sense of community. “We want to form these rela-
tionships and this was a fun and educational way to do that.” Gandy principal Leigh Finch said the joint effort works well for both campuses. “The two schools get together each year but we wanted to make it more than just reading and math,” Finch said. Students entered the gym through a reception of teachers in costume to the fairy tale ball, and then proceeded to the varying stations for different activities. Adding a bit of a royal flavor the event, trumpeters from Lee-Davis High School greeted each group with an announcing blast of brass. “We really appreciate them sending some of their band members over to participate,” Finch said. She said since the two schools share so much in common, it’s logical to combine activities for curriculum night. “We have the same families and the same challenges and strengths so we’re just trying to make this a community type setting.”

Quakers rely on balance to win ODAC title Yellow Jackets fall short in championship game 81-65 By John A. Montgomery Media General News Services SALEM — Randolph-Macon basketball coach Nathan Davis had to be scratching his shaved head. His Yellow Jackets executed their game plan relatively well and held the opponent’s top three scorers below their cumulative season average, but still came up considerably short. Guilford defeated R-MC Sunday in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference tournament final 81-65. With the victory, the Quakers ( 26-2), who finished third in the nation a year ago, earned an automatic berth in the NCAA
tournament. The Yellow Jackets (226) were left in limbo until Monday morning (see below). Guilford entered the ODAC tournament as the second seed. R-MC was No. 4 and upset the top seed, Eastern Mennonite, in the semifinals Saturday. “[Guilford’s] good,” Davis said, preferring to credit the quality of the opposition rather than criticize his team’s effort. “It ended up a 16-point game, but really it was a four-or fivepossession game. We make a couple of plays on the offensive end here, a couple of stops on the defensive end there, it’s a different story.” When the teams met during the regular season, Guilford prevailed 82-73. Guilford center Tyler Sanborn, named the tournament’s most out-
standing player, scored 12 points and grabbed 12 rebounds, but he entered the game averaging almost 20 and 14, respectively. “I thought we did a good job on all three of their big guys,” Davis said. Quaker guards Clay Henson and Rhett Bonner scored 15 and 13 points, respectively yesterday, but they generally combine for about 32, averaging 17.7 and 14.4 points.
Yellow Jackets are NCAA D-III Tournament bound R-MC will take on Cabrini on Friday in first-round action From press release
INDIANAPOLIS - For the 18th time in school history, the Randolph-Macon Men’s Basketball team has earned a bid to the NCAA Tournament. The #18 ranked Yellow Jackets, enter the tournament with a 22-6 record and will travel to Albright College in Reading Pennsylvania where they will take on Colonial States Athletic Conference Champion Cabrini College on Friday at a time to be determined. The Cavaliers, located in Radnor, PA are making their 10th appearence in the NCAA tournament. Cabrini and Randolph-Macon share one common opponent in 200910, each earning wins at non-confer-

ence foe Lebanon Valley College. The Cavaliers knocked off the Dutchmen, 68-59, on Nov. 11 before the Yellow Jackets posted a 73-59 victory on Nov. 22. Albright will host Clark University in the other bracket game. Led by the Commonwealth Conference Tournament Most Outstanding Player Zac Shaeffer, the host Lions (21-5) downed Lycoming College by the final score of 87-74 to claim the 2010 Commonwealth Conference Title Saturday afternoon. The conference championship is the 8th in program history and this year’s trip to the NCAA tournament will be the Lions 10th overall. Clark University from Worcester, Massachusetts will take on the hosts on Friday. The Cougars entered the New England Women’s and Men’s Athletic

Conference Tournament as the fifth seed and ran the table to capture the school’s fourth league championship and trip to the NCAA Tournament. Four ODAC teams will participate in this year’s tournament. R-MC could possibly face Virginia Wesleyan (22-5) in a Sectional Final game. Wesleyan opens play against Richard Stockton (20-7) at St. Mary’s, Md. On the opposite side of the bracket, both Eastern Mennonite and Guilford serve as hosts. EMU (22-4) opens play against Centre (18-8) while Guilford (26-2) takes on Christopher Newport (15-12). Williams College comes into the tournament as the No. 1 overall seed sporting a 26-1 record. The Ephs lone loss of the season came in Crenshaw Gym at the hands of Randolph-Macon, 79-74 on Dec. 30.
“Now they did have a couple of other guys that surprised us,” Davis said, referring to T.C. Anderson, whose 15 points were almost 12 more than his season average. Sophomore forwards Brad Monroe and Tobi Akinsola came off the bench to contribute eight points each, and they average 5.9 points combined. Monroe also had six rebounds. Eric Pugh led the Jackets with 17 points, connecting five times from 3point range. Danny Jones added 13. “They put us on our heels a couple of times,” Guilford coach Tom Palombo said, “but we responded just like we have all year long. “Our sole focus this season was being ODAC champs and making it is a huge accomplishment. We have a lot guys who can step up when we need them. They take advantage when they’re given the opportunity.” The all-tournament team consisted of Sanborn, Bonner, Henson, Jones and Pugh. John A. Montgomery is a special correspondent for the Richmond Times

Patrick Henry’s Powell takes pole vault
File photos by Kenny Moore
From left: Patrick Henry’s Lizzie Powell set a new state record of 12-7 while winning the Group AAA girls pole vault. Lee-Davis’ Montasia Golden won the Triple Jump with a leap of 40-43.4 while Patrick Henry’s Tony Green did the same for the boys with a jump of 47-21.2. Atlee’s Marques Atkinson anchored the Raiders’ state champion 3200 relay team.
Cancer survivor one of six winners from the Central Region By Eric Kolenich Media General News Services HAMPTON — After chemotherapy, radiation and then returning to set a state pole vault record, it’s hard to determine Lizzie Powell’s greatest accomplishment. The Patrick Henry senior was diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma June 3, 2009, her 17th birthday. She missed months of training while she was treated and re-emerged in the fall as good as ever. Yesterday, she set a state record in girls pole vault with a personal best 12-7 at the Group AAA indoor track and field meet. The girls pole vault was one of six events claimed by Central Region athletes. Mills Godwin’s Eric Zwarycz claimed the boys pole vault, Patrick Henry’s Tony Green captured the boys triple jump, Lee-Davis’ Montasia Golden win the girls triple jump, and Atlee and Midlothian won the boys and girls 3,200
relay, respectively. Powell flew past the old record of 12 feet. When diagnosed, her doctor told her she’d probably miss six to 12 months of training for treatment — Powell returned to training even before her radiation ended around Thanksgiving. “I told myself [12 months] wasn’t good enough for me,” Powell said. “I didn’t want my cancer to be a setback.” Cameron Overstreet of Atlee (12) finished second, and Stephanie Oleson (11-6) of Henrico finished third. Boys pole vault: When the favorite to win, Matt Hazelgren of Stafford, failed to clear 14 feet, Mills Godwin senior Eric Zwarycz was surprised. “When Matt didn’t clear it, it was kind of a relief,” Zwarycz said. With the favorite out, Zwarycz set a personal best jump at 14-9 and became state champion. Matt Hoogland of Lake Braddock, Zwarycz’s last challenger, who had previously jumped 15-1 feet before yesterday, finished at 14-6. “I’m still a little speechless,” Zwarycz said. “Fifteen would
have been nice, but I’m fine with [getting my personal record] at 14-9 and winning.” “[The state meet] is not about results,” Extreme Heights pole vaulting coach Val Osipenko said. “It’s about who has the better day. . . . The state meet is all about luck.” Boys triple jump: Tony Green of Patrick Henry was one of the biggest upsets of the day, taking the title with a jump of 47-21.2. His first jump of the day was a personal best 45-4, breaking his previous best of 43-11. Going into the finals, Green still was in seventh place. On his final attempt, his coach, Jeremy Dobrinksi, told him to go as hard and as fast as possible, lift his knees, and “go for broke.” The result was state championship. Girls triple jump: Montasia Golden of Lee-Davis, the seventh seed, thought she’d win something, she just didn’t think it’d be the triple jump. Golden, who also does hurdles and long jump, claimed the state title in a huge upset with a 40-43:4 jump. “I wasn’t expecting it at all,”
Golden said. Girls 3,200 relay: The Midlothian team, which includes Claire Benjaman, Marie Johnston, Amy Witt and Kathleen Lautzenheiser, won the state championship in convincing fashion, with a time of 9:20.43, eight seconds faster than second-place West Springfield. “I don’t think the time really mattered,” Witt said. “We just raced the race.” Midlothian never showed any sign of losing, staying near or at the front of the pack the entire race. Boys 3,200 relay: After winning the state title, Atlee’s Marques Atkinson hit the floor and lay there a moment. “We’re champs,” his teammates, Shao-wei Tu, Wes Steenburgh and twin brother Michael Atkinson yelled at him. On the final straightaway of the final leg, Marques took a narrow lead over Cameron Cipcic of Western Branch. With the crowd roaring, Atkinson crossed the finish line 0.26 ahead of Cipcic and Atlee,
the ninth seed entering the race, claimed an exhilarating, surprising state championship. “We were seeded ninth, so we had everything to gain and nothing to lose,” coach Jim Triemplar said. Boys shot put: Deep Run’s Thomas Fuson finished second with a distance of 53-111.4, and Highland Springs’ Sulaiman Fareed finished third at 52-81.4, Woodbridge’s Isaiah Simmons stole the show with second longest throw in Group AAA state meet history at a distance of 63-3. Other top local finishers include: Patrick Henry’s Sydney Hobart and Haley Sellars both tied for ninth in the girls pole vault, clearing 9-06.00. In the boys pole vault, Atlee’s Chris Pillow took third clearing 14-0 while teammate Scott Elwood cleared 13-0 for sixth. In the boys shot put, LeeDavis’ Wes Tuck claimed seventh with a throw of 49-11 while teammate Johnathan Munn finished 18th. Lee-Davis’ Montasia Golden took fifth in the girls long jump with a leap of 17-08.00. Golden
also claimed fourth in the 55 hurdles. In the 55 Meter Dash, Patrick Henry’s Shyra Molton took seventh among girls while Atlee’s Trevor Elie finished eighth in the boys race. In the girls 4x800 relay, LeeDavis’ Tiel Wesbrook, Stephanie Cario, Bonny Turnage and Amanda Lineberry claimed seventh. Lineberry also took a fifth place finish in the 1600. In the girls 500, Patrick Henry’s Alicia Terry finished 13th while Atlee’s Michael Atkinson and Shaowei Tu took eight and 10th for the boys. Lee-Davis’ Cody Snyder finished second in the 1000 with a time of 2:31.38. Hanover’s Lauren Hopper finished ninth in the 3200 followed by Lee-Davis’ Turnage (12th) and Cario (14th). In the boys 3200, Patrick Henry’s Patrick Woodford finished 13th, followed by Atlee’s Andy Hesse (14th), Wes Steenburgh (17th) and Andrew Catanese (18th). The Atlee boys finished sixth in the team standing with

Fritz adds a taste of Richmond to Chicken Soup RIR track president becomes author in popular book series By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com At the end of February the latest edition in the “Chicken Soup for the Soul” book series hit the store shelves. And while another release in the franchise normally holds little interest among local sports fans, this particular edition has close connections with Richmond. “Chicken Soup for the Soul: NASCAR-101 Stories of Family, Fortitude and Fast Cars” not only includes several stories that involve Richmond International Raceway, but the book also contains one written by RIR track president Doug Fritz. “They just asked me if I had a story to write that might make the book,” Fritz said. However, his greatest challenge was not coming up with a story for the book but instead narrowing down the possibilities. “Being in this business for 20 years now, I probably had 100 stories to think through before I finally came up with the one that’s in the book,” Fritz said. Over the course of his career in NASCAR, Fritz has met two U.S. Presidents; George Bush Sr. and Bill Clinton, top political figures; Donald Rumsfeld and Sarah Palin, as well as celebrities such as John Travolta, Gene Hackman, Jay Leno and Tom Cruise, but there was a moment with someone else that in some ways surpassed those encounters and inspired his story for the book. “A Moment with a Legend,” relates how Fritz’s philosophy on NASCAR was influenced by a very brief meeting with the sport’s founder Bill France Sr. France relayed to Fritz his belief that NASCAR is about family. Since that time Fritz has tried to keep that message in mind with every aspect of racing at RIR.

“Walking through the parking lots and chatting with the fans under the grandstands and in the grandstands, so many people make this a family event,” Fritz said. “It’s really contusive for a great atmosphere of family gatherings and we try to compliment that with the atmosphere we provide them.” Likewise, Fritz’s philosophy on family carries over to the entire staff at RIR. “As we plan changes and plan things we want to do we really want to keep the family in mind, and the kids, they’re the future of our sport and the future of our guests down the road when they’re grown and they make decisions on where they want to spend their time and money. When they have children, hopefully they’ll want to bring them out as well.” As such, Fritz’ s t o r y, which is fea-
t u r e d prominently on page 15, melds perfectly with the family theme that is prevalent throughout this “Chicken Soup for the Soul”. Whether it is Ryan Neumann relating how his father taught him to find his marks by telling the then 4½ year old to literally hit his foot on the Quarter Midget track or Jimmy Johnson talking about lessons learned from his father while racing bikes at an early age, the family theme resounds. And while several of the short stories throughout the book involve regional tracks at Bristol and Martinsville, one
March 3, 2010
of the most moving was inspired by a visit to RIR. In “Scott on a Stick,” Melissa Sorenson relates how she fulfilled one of her deceased husband’s wishes by symbolically bringing him to Richmond for the May 2009 race. Throughout the middle chapters of the book the family theme is a sidelight as readers get an introspective look at the world of NASCAR through drivers, fans and family members. There are also several pieces written by reporters on how the sport has affected them. Drivers such as Tony Stewart, Kurt Busch and Joey Logano join a host of others in relating a varying degree of emotional moments from throughout their racing careers. Likewise NASCAR figures such as Brad Daugherty, Darrell Waltrip, Brian France and Kerry Earnhardt also contributed to the book. “What I like about this book and what I’m so excited about is the business is so big, it’s great to think of the human side and all of the stories,” Fritz said. One figure that takes on a significant role throughout the book is Dale Earnhardt Sr. and his untimely death in 2001. In the chapter “Dale” stories are dedicated to Earnhardt and the widespread effect he had on people. For NASCAR fans the book provides an opportunity to see behind the scenes and into the thoughts of the

celebrities of the sport. “There’s a lot of humility and for the most, people are pretty humble in this sport,” Fritz said. “It’s about treating people right,” Fritz said. “What makes it fun for the fans, is to understand the passion and desires of the people in the industry,” Fritz added. “I think this book will do that.” But for RIR and Fritz, the book also provides a moment in the spotlight when there is little action at the track. “It’s great exposure for us at
Richmond International Raceway and I’m just proud to be asked to be part of it,” Fritz said. “Look at who else is in that book and there’s little ol’ me in there too. It’s kind of an honor for me to be a part of it. I’ll hopefully touch somebody who reads my story and the other stories too.” For those who would like to get a copy of the book autographed by Fritz, they simply need to drop by the RIR ticket office and he will be more than happy to comply. However, it is best to call ahead to make sure Fritz

recognition was appropriate for many reasons — not all of them basketballrelated. “She’s a wonderful leader and a wonderful friend to every one of her teammates,” LaHaye said. “They look to her for everything, on and off the court.” Ariail is one of only two threetime players of the year in ODAC women’s basketball history. Former Yellow Jackets standout Megan Silva is the other. Regular-season champion Roanoke (19-1, 22-2) placed three players on

TRACK
Randolph-Macon women’s basketball coach Carroll LaHaye didn’t search long before finding the proper word to describe Yellow Jackets post player Molly Ariail. The word she chose was “phenomenal.” Others apparently share that opinion. Ariail, a 6-2 senior from York, Pa., last week captured her third consecutive ODAC player-of-the-year award. She was selected in voting conducted among the league’s coaches. Ariail finished the Yellow Jackets’ regular season as the league’s top scorer (19.4 ppg) and rebounder (11.4 rpg). In addition, she led the Yellow Jackets in steals (49) and blocks (27). “She’s just such a dominating presence in the paint,” LaHaye said. “She’s strong and smooth and she has some innate skills — fakes, power moves, things like that — that make her almost unstoppable.” Ariail, who was the ODAC rookie of the year as a freshman, was honored at last night’s pre-tournament awards banquet in Salem. LaHaye said the

SALEM, VA-R-MC Senior Molly Ariail finished with a game high 20 points and 14 rebounds but it was not enough as EMU upset the second seeded Yellow Jackets 69-64 in the ODAC Tournament quarterfinals. Eastern Mennonite scored the first four points of the game on the way to an early 8-3 advantage. The Yellow Jackets then used a 50 run capped by an Ariail (York, PA/ York Suburban) to tie the game at 8-8 with 15:34 to go. Both teams exchanged baskets over the next few minute before the
Royals’ Danielle Rittenhouse converted a free throw at the 9:51 mark, sparking a 10-0 EMU run to go up 26-16. Eastern Mennonite led by as many as 13 in the first half before Randolph-Macon finished the first half with a 6-0 spurt to cut the Royals’ lead to 36-31 heading into halftime. The Yellow Jackets came out of intermission with an 8-2 run to take their first lead of the game at 39-38 on a Renee Stein (Harrisonburg, VA/ Spotswood) layup with 16:57 to play. Addie Bashorun put the Royals up by six when she finished off a 7-0 Royal’s run at the 11:37 mark with a layup. R-MC’s Katie Williams (Warrenton, VA/ Fauquier) converted a two with 5:32 to play, tying the
game a 53-53. This would be as close as Randolph-Macon would get, as Eastern Mennonite made 12 of 14 free throws down the stretch to hold on for the 69-64 victory. Ariail finished with 20 points and 14 rebounds. Freshman guard Madison Dulaney (Kernersville, NC/ John Glenn) chipped in with 10 points and five rebounds while her classmate Jordan Cantrell (Washington, NC/ Washington) added eight points. Rittenhouse led three Royals in double figure scoring with 17 points. Sara Lamneck finished with 10 points and 12 rebounds while Miranda Wolfe chipped in with 10. The Yellow Jackets conclude the 2009-10 season with an 18-7 overall record and a second place ODAC finish at 16-4.
