Sheriff: ‘We can make budget work’

By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com “We can make this budget work this year.”

That’s what Col. David R. Hines, sheriff, said last week as the Hanover County Board of Supervisors prepares to receive final presentations to the proposed $367.4 million budget this evening.

On Tuesday, March 20, Hines talked about working closely with the supervisors and county administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. The Sheriff ’s Office has been operating with seven frozen positions, and currently has three frozen positions, which is a move that will continue into the 2013 fiscal year.

Hines said the supervisors, Harris and his staff approached him early in the budget process, “asking me about the needs of the department.

This is a tough budget year, but we’ve had tough budget years since 2008.”

He said the cuts his office is making are in operations and capital – “and they’re not sustainable. During my budget presentation, that was a message that I gave the HINES board that we can make this budget work this year, but — if next year’s budget is reflective of this year’s budget — we’ll have to have serious conversations as to those services we’ll be able to provide to the citizens of Hanover.”

Hines said he, his officers and staff “have see SHERIFF, pg. 4

Atlee Station Family ‘Y’ membership still rising

The Atlee Station Family YMCA is growing by leaps and bound, having more than doubled its membership since opening in November.

“We had about 250 when we opened and have just under 600 membership units now,” operations director Jana Smith said. “A membership unit might be one person or it might be an entire family.”

There are 16 YMCAs in the metropolitan Richmond area, and when they have a membership drive, they all do it at the same time.

The “Y” recently wrapped up a two-week drive, with about 100 new members being added.

The Atlee Station Family YMCA is located at 8017 Rutland Center Blvd. in Mechanicsville and occupies about 10,000 square feet.

“We have a workout room with weights and equipment,” she said. “We also have rooms for cardio workouts, wellness training, an all-purpose room where we have a lot of children’s activities, including a climbing wall, and three athletic fields growing where we hope to start outside activities later this summer or early fall.”

Two phrases that occupy Smith’s thoughts regularly are “community input” and “growth.”

“I’m always interested in what members and prospec-

tive members think about us and what we need,” she said.

“At some point, I’ll probably form an advisory committee to specifically work on what additional programs we need and what people are looking for in a facility like the Y. We are constantly evaluating the programs we offer and the programs members and prospective members ask for.”

When it comes to growth, Smith chooses her words carefully.

“The worst thing we could do is add an addition or build another building and then it not be used as intended or to its capacity,” she said. “We want to grow and at the right time probably will. However, it has to be when the need justifies the expansion.”

When you work at the Y, she said, you are a team member.

“We have two full-time team members and 25 to 30 part-time team members,” Smith said. “I am full-time

and Morgan Gleaves, our wellness director, is the other full-time team member.”

When she has some personal time, Smith and her husband Jayson enjoy camping.

“We spend a lot of time at Lake Anna,” she said. “We have access to some land where we can camp and enjoy the lake. My husband got a kayak for Christmas, and, once the weather permits, I’m sure we’ll find a lot of places to use it.”

Smith said she also enjoys running. She and her husband ran in the Monument Avenue 10K last year.

“He ran with his friends, and I ran with mine,” she said. “It was great. We both had a good time. I’ve signed up to run again this year, but I don’t think Jayson has signed up yet.”

And we continue that today – to be good stewards of the taxpayers’ dollars.”

“We’re dedicated professionals and, fortunately, we’ve hired dedicated professionals,” Hines added. While he said he is confident in managing this upcoming budget cycle, he does not consider the numbers to be sustainable in the future. “This budget shows a 3.3 percent increase over last year’s budget, but every bit of that is in costs to the retirement system; it’s to health insurance costs. It is not new people; it’s not new vehicles; it’s not anything that we control within the county.”

This year, the sheriff continued, he submitted an operational budget to Harris that was flat.

“Mr. Harris had to add right at $400,000 to that budget because of mandates. And he handed me back a flat budget, which meant that he had to reach into my operational costs and find $400,000 and then asked that I find another $400,000. The only way we’re able to find that kind of money without making cuts in personnel is through operations and capital, which are vehicles, computers, replacement cycles – they’re non-existent now.”

“We always work on good management principles of fiveyear equipment plans, 10-year equipment plans, five-year

personnel plans,” Hines continued. “This budget has cost us to not be able to look at those plans that we’ve had established.

They’re no longer viable under this budget because you’re not making those needed replacements.”

Looking ahead, he said, “If this next year’s budget is reflective of this year’s budget, we’ll have to have serious conversations on services.”

Hines also said he is concerned about losing the department’s Career Development Program. “We have the highest standards of any [law enforcement] agency I know in the Commonwealth of Virginia and our standards don’t stop when we hire.”

“This program was developed to not only enhance the officer’s ability to increase his salary, but it was also there to increase our ability to provide a higher level of service through better trained professional officers to serve the community,” Hines said.

The sheriff said eliminating the program “does cause me concern on being able to retain our well trained law enforcement officers.”

He did say that maintaining services under the new budget “will be a struggle. However, we’re dedicated to achieving our

citizens’ expectations to service.

In our attempt to maintain these services, we’re delayed the replacement of essential equipment and we’ve delayed that over the last four years.”

“While we’ve been able to maintain services up to this point,” he added, “if the financial outlook does not change we will have to have serious conversations of service levels of the future.”

“My mandate comes from citizens’ expectations,” the sheriff said, “and the mandate for this Sheriff ’s Office, through our citizens’ expectations, is to maintain a safe, secure community and one that continues to be a part of, not apart from, the community we serve.”

When he appeared before the supervisors on Feb. 29, Hines said his office has four strategic goals: 1) To promote a safe community through the delivery of high quality services.

2) To employ skilled professionals loyal to the community.

3) To support efficient internal operations.

4) To ensure fiscal responsibility.

“Today,” he told the supervisors, “we remain staffed at 2008 levels with positions frozen because of the serious financial crisis that is facing law enforcesee SHERIFF, pg. 8

There was no shortage of ordered assumptions, hypothesis and conclusions on display Saturday at Hanover High School as area students gathered for the annual Metro Richmond Science Fair.

It’s an opportunity for the region’s best math and science students to show off their skills in real world problem-solving situations.

“It’s a great experience,” Hanover High School freshman Kayla Oakley said after her project captured first place in the Earth and Space Sciences Division. “I’ve met so many intelligent people here today. It just gives me that drive to do better, and motivates me for next year’s competition.”

Oakley said she planned her project to explore a subject that is close to home, erosion control.

Her uncle and father own a hydra seeding business.

“I was trying to figure out what type of erosion control method works best,” she said.

“Erosion control methods are what keep the soil in place at construction sites and prevent sediment from washing into the rivers.”

As a Virginia Tech alumnus, I read with equal parts amusement and disgust the most recent attempt by Virginia Tech president Charles W. Steger to rationalize the incompetence of his administration and the failings that directly contributed to the deaths of so many under his charge.

In a statement issued over his signature only hours after the university was found guilty in the wrongful death suit brought by two families of Tech massacre victims, Steger reiterated his “long-held position that the administration and law enforcement at Virginia Tech did their absolute best.”

Unfortunately, the governor’s investigatory panel, the U.S. Department of Education and now a jury have each, independently, reached the opposite conclusion. And, unlike President Steger, their jobs do not rely on any particular finding.

With three distinct examinations all having found evidence of negligence and culpability on the part of Virginia Tech’s leadership, I once again call on Charles Steger to do the university and the Commonwealth the favor of submitting the resignation that decency should have elicited from him five years ago.

ObamaCare and the election ObamaCare will be an important issue in the upcoming election in November. This is primarily due to the higher taxes it will impose as well as healthcare costs that will adversely impact thousands of jobs. These facts alone are bad enough, but here are some other facts about this hor-

rible bill that the Obama Media will keep on ice.

Remember when Speaker nancy Pelosi said, “Let’s pass ObamaCare and find out what’s in it.” Well, here are “some” of the freedom-robbing items that are, in fact, in it (not in any particular order): It has an unelected and unaccountable “death panel” made up of bureaucrats in Washington, D.C., that will be charged with: ✓ Rationing the health care options for tens of millions. ✓ Limiting access to life-saving treatments, ✓ Limiting medical breakthroughs and/or delaying their treatments, ✓ Dictating which prescription drugs are government approved, The aforementioned gets even worse, which this “group” may seriously recommend to doctors: ❍ Screening for AIDS isn’t necessary. ❍ PSA-based prostate cancer screening for men does no good.

This is not a joke!

If ObamaCare’s “death panels” are not repealed, all matters of your health — no matter how intimate — will be controlled and monitored by the government. Americans should be alarmed by this rapidly encroaching reach of the government. Do you want one of these “revenuers” standing between you and your doctor?

To summarize ObamaCare as a whole: It is all about restricting your freedoms. President Obama wants you to believe that he knows more about what’s best for you and your family than you do.

As a noted radio personality recently stated: “ObamaCare is nothing more than another expensive government-controlled “welfare” program that just takes away what’s left of your freedoms.”

Remember those who voted “yes” on this bill in November and vote them out of office. Your freedoms depend on it.

Hosted by the MathScience Innovation Center, the event is affiliated with the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair and advanced 15 local students to international competition in recent years.

The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair is the largest pre-college science competition in the world.

To qualify, students submit projects for review and judges pick the best entries for display

Clover Hill junior Bryce Badura chose a timely and important issue for his project. He wanted to monitor the effects of radiation emitted from cell phones and its effects on memory.

To accomplish the task, Badura tested small worms after exposing them to varying amounts of radiation produced by cell phones. He noted organism’s diminished memory as they were exposed to higher amounts of radiation. “In our world, we use many electronic devises that emit an undisclosed amount of radiation,� Badura said. “Minimal

doses of radiation have been linked to many varieties of childhood cancer and other diseases.�

Badura set up a test using small worms called planarian, and tested effects on their ability to negotiate a maze. He came up with some clear-cut results. “My hypothesis was supported in that radiation does negatively affect memory.�

Arjun Jaini, a sophomore at Lee-Davis, wanted to see how different fuel additives affected the pour point of bio-diesels.

Bio-diesel is an alternative fuel source that can be used in any diesel engine.� Jaini said. “There’s one problem with bio-diesel and that’s its pour point, the lowest temperature at which a liquid is able to flow,� he added.

Jaini tested several different additives to decrease the temperature of that pour point. His goal was to produce biodiesels that could be used in a wider range of temperatures.

Jaini has first-hand experience with biodiesels. He produces them at home to fuel his

Thanks for holding the line I had to pound the desk laughing at State Senate Democrats for their risible temper tantrum.

They failed in the courts on forcing a power sharing arrangement in the Senate and on congressional redistricting, so they are venting their spleen on Virginia taxpayers.

That isn’t partisan politics.

It’s sandbox politics.

In contrast, the House of Delegates has been terribly grown up about the whole thing, making the tough choices and cuts necessary to make Virginia one of the most fiscally sound states in the nation.

Hanover’s own Del. Chris Peace, the first Hanoverian on a money committee since the War Between the States, deserves our thanks for holding the line on higher taxes and excessive spending.

Isn’t Del. Peace’s fiscal responsibility and being the adult in the room far superior to the Senate Democrats’ petulant politics of entitlement?

WE BEAT OUR COMPETITORS’ PRICES!

I recently read a letter published detailing a person’s frustrations with the Hanover Humane Society (HHS) over the fact that she was denied an application to adopt a cat. As much as I feel for this person, I must admit that I am concerned that such a negative opinion could be published about the Humane Society with no positive contributions to back up the organization.

I adopted my dog Boogie from the Humane Society in July. As soon as I met Boogie I knew that he was exactly what my husband and I were looking for, and that he would make our family complete.

In the back of my mind, I was incredibly wary of having to apply for Boogie and allowing HHS to call my two references, but my fears were quickly abated when both of my references called me directly after speaking with HHS. They could not stop talking about how impressed they were with HHS and their dedication to their animals; the staff member who spoke with them had described Boogie’s terrible abuse, and how they needed to make sure that what I had see LETTERS, pg. 15

Fact: The United States has enough untapped oil reserves to take us off foreign oil dependence forever.

And, furthermore, there is his resistance to the creation of the Canadian pipeline.

Here is an opportunity for him to create tens of thousands of good American jobs, but . . .

Remember during the latter part of the Bush Administration when the price of gas and oil shot up?

All Bush did was lift Gulf oil drilling restrictions and the price dropped like a rock.

Don’t expect Obama to do the same. He might think about this on the golf course somewhere out there.

The above are just more examples of President Obama’s Socialist/Marxist policies for getting more government intervention into your lives.

Whoever ends up running against Obama in November must attack all of these unAmerican policies that Obama has mandated in order for us to have a chance for victory. It will

“Boardrooms to Classrooms” program each February.

Hanover County Public Schools has participated in the program for the last three years.

The number of participants has increased from four to seven since the program’s inception.

The following individuals participated in the 2012 program: 2012 Hanover Boardrooms

and Stephanie Wall, Vallum Resources. ✏ John M. Gandy Elementary School: Principal Leigh Finch and Cris Leonard, Hanover Fire/EMS. ✏ Kersey Creek Elementary School: Dr. Deborah Waters and Steve Trivett, Hanover Planning Commission. ✏ Pole Green Elementary School: Principal Rhonda Epling and Kellen Hancock,

The goals of the “Boardrooms to Classrooms” program are to: immerse business leaders in the public school environment; broaden their understanding of the challenges and opportunities facing education today; provide a platform for developing lasting partnerships between schools and businesses; provide opportunities and resources to match the needs, interests and resources of the schools and community; enhance awareness of workplace skills that are necessary for students to succeed; and promote linkages from the schools to the workplace.

“It is our hope that this visit is the start of many good things to come and a long lasting relationship,” Margaret Hill, business partnerships specialist with Hanover County Public Schools said.

pating principals will have the opportunity to job shadow in the business environments of the partners that spent the day with them at their schools.

The Hanover Business Council held a debriefing session on Feb. 22 with the participants and the following comments were shared during the meeting: “There is a level of patience and respect” within the school environment – Stephanie Wall, Vallum Resources I learned that there are “challenges due to the lack of volunteers” which is a similar challenge with Fire/EMS – Cris Leonard, Hanover Fire/EMS. “Lunch Buddies” is one mentoring opportunity where

adults can get involved in their local schools – Leigh Finch, principal of John M. Gandy Elementary School.

Schools have a “passion for the mission” – Cris Leonard, Hanover Fire/EMS. “I was impressed” to learn how the principal (Dr. Deborah Waters) has the “qualities of Mother Teresa as well as the qualities of Clint Eastwood” – Steve Trivett, Hanover Planning Commission.

“Principals have their finger on the pulse” – Steve Trivett, Hanover Planning Commission.

My observations were that “students stayed on task” during the school day – Steve Trivett, Hanover Planning Commission.

“The school is an island and the principal is a manager and a caregiver” – Kellen Hancock, Trane.

I would like to see a “collaboration where high school students can see the various opportunities offered within the work force” – Kellen Hancock, Trane.

There are so many “obstacles and distractions” and the staff is able to isolate these incidents from parents – Bob Brown, Capital One. The principal serves as the “mayor of a small town. He/ she runs a small town that even has its own police force (the Student Resource Officer/SRO) – Bob Brown, Capital One.

said on my application was true, because Boogie needed a lot of help (he was abused, and had had no human contact when Richmond Animal Control had rescued him. He still cowers around men).

After I received the phone call that my husband and I were approved, I was asked if I could please wait one extra day to adopt him because they wanted to be able to say good-bye to Boogie, and, since most of the HHS staff are volunteers, they had to wait until the next day when they were not at their full-time job.

Students have “innovative solutions.” I was “impressed with the level of science and technology offered to students” Gianna Clark, Dominion.

Information submitted by Linda M. Scarborough, Hanover County Public Schools communications specialist.

If you ask me, a group that cares so much for the safety and well-being of their animals would never deny an application unless it was for very legitimate reasons.

I was given a crate, his favorite toy, a collar and leash, and a huge box of treats for Boogie upon adoption.

The group was incredibly happy that Boogie had found his forever home, but they were also sad to see him go.

Such an organization with such strong attachments to their animals could never be considered as a group who would “prefer to house animals in small cages over placing them in loving homes.”

As a side note, their cages are not small, and every animal that I have met has always been well-groomed and cared for.

Each cage has access to the outdoors, and they have plenty of food.

While I admit that I was stressed that my application would be denied (the process is extensive), how can you fault an organization to go through such lengths to make sure that their animals are placed in loving homes?

These animals have already been through terrors we cannot imagine, and to place them in a home without taking into consideration the applicant’s life-

style would be irresponsible.

I cannot imagine the Hanover Humane Society to ever deny an application unless it had good reasoning; my trust is that great in this organization.

I hope that many readers will apply to adopt their animals, because there are still many animals that need loving and caring homes.

‘Love Our Critters’ features Shelley Whittington’s work Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com he Hanover Humane Society and the Montpelier Center for Arts and Education are partnering to offer the first annual “Love Our Critters” Art Exhibition through Saturday, March 31, at the Montpelier Center and will feature animal-themed artwork from a variety of artists.

One such featured artist is Shelley Whittington who found herself needing an artistic outlet after raising her family.

She said she found this outlet with the colorful Easter box turtles indigenous to Central Virginia.

Whittington said she was enchanted by the small creature which, though once common and easily found, has found

T

itself at odds with man.

Over time, man’s development efforts have encroached on its natural breeding grounds and led to a reduction in the box turtle population.

Touted as one of the oldest residents in Virginia and coupled with their beauty, Whittington said she found the box turtle to be the perfect subject.

“With the new perspective that I offer through my paintings of Box Turtles,” Whittington said, “I hope to impart the viewer with an appreciation for and better understanding of these amazing reptiles. Realistically enhanced earth tones and colors are my favorite, and help me express a turtle’s viewpoint creatively. I have since expanded my subject matter and enjoy painting pets and other ani-

Schyler Neale, a junior at Patrick Henry High School and winner of the 2011-2012 Lights, Camera, Take Action-Stop Underage Drinking NOW contest, was recognized and presented with a certificate by the Hanover County School Board during its Feb. 14 meeting.

Neale is the second student from Patrick Henry to win since the contest was implemented five years ago. She is the second consecutive Hanover County Public School student to win the first place prize. Charyssa Parent, a senior at Lee-Davis High School, received the most votes last year.

All area high school students are invited to enter the contest each September. Entries consist of students writing, shooting, directing and produc-

ing a 20-second public service announcement (PSA) about the consequences and dangers of underage drinking. More than 80 entries were received this year and four students advanced to the final round of competition last month. Each finalist was awarded a Samsung tablet.

The public was given the opportunity to choose the winner of the contest by selecting their favorite PSA through text messaging and/or voting online.

Neale was announced as the winner during the season premiere of “American Idol” on Jan. 18. Her submission is entitled “Don’t Believe the Hype” As the 5th winner of Fox Richmond’s annual underage drinking prevention campaign, see WINNER, pg. 17

The worldwide Earth Hour event will take place at 8:30 p.m. on Saturday, March 31.

At schools around the nation, Goddard School children and their teachers will participate in a variety of fun activities, games and lessons designed to increase their awareness of how energy use and daily activities can affect the future of the planet and how they can conserve energy in their daily lives.

During the Stepping Up

St. Patrick’s Day Parade

Local physician named to ACFAS Board of Directors A Mechanicsville physician has been named to the Board of Directors of the American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons (ACFAS).

Laurence G. Rubin, DPM, FACFAS, recently was installed during the annual business meeting of ACFAS, which is a national surgical association of more than 6,500 foot and ankle surgeons. He will serve on the board for the 2012-2013 term.

The installation of officers was conducted at the

ACFAS 70th Annual Scientific Conference in San Antonio, Texas.

The American College of Foot and Ankle Surgeons was founded in 1942, with a mission to promote research and provide continuing education for the foot and ankle surgical specialty, and to educate the general public on foot health and conditions of the foot and ankle through its consumer website, FootHealthFacts.org.

What began as an idea, “guys gathering with their green riding lawn mowers.” grew into the first St Patrick’s Day Parade for Yorke Pointe Subdivision off Cold Harbor Road in Mechanicsville. Decorated trailers were added complete with lawn chairs for the ladies and other riders to join the impromptu festivities. Everyone wore special designed hats, the kids tossed candy as the tunes of familiar songs sounded through the speaker.

Led by the American flag and driver Mike Adams, other drivers included John Miller, Brent Bosher, Carroll Harvey and Dick Gentry. Cyclist Evan and Greg Williams joined the parade and riders in the trailers included Gayle Adams, Robyn Miller, the Grissoms (Shane, Lea and mother Amber), followed by Jean Gentry, Jacob Whittington and the Brysons (Warren, Virginia, Charles and dad Matthew). Looking to 2013, residents said they hope the St. Patrick’s Day event will become a tradition.

CERT training set Hanover County Fire/EMS offers a special class to help citizens become prepared to help others and yourself in the event of an emergency or disaster.

The class is called CERT (Community Emergency Response Teams) and you’re invited to sign up for the next series of classes, scheduled for April 3 through May 29.

Classes will be held from 6 to 10 p.m. on Tuesdays from at the Harman-Taylor Fire/ EMS Training Center west of Ashland.

Classes are taught by professionals from Hanover Fire/ EMS, the American Red Cross, and other agencies active in emergency preparedness.

Following a major disaster, first responders who provide fire and medical services will not be able to reach everyone.

People will have to rely on one another for help in order to meet immediate lifesaving and life-sustaining needs. CERT

members will be trained to help fill that need in the community.

These students completed seven sessions covering various aspects of preparation for a disaster in their community, including providing medical assistance to victims and, light search and rescue operations and disaster psychology and team organization.

Through CERT, citizens learn skills and concepts that prepare them to assist victims, organize volunteers and help their neighborhoods recover in the aftermath of a disaster.

CERT also teaches people how to prepare their homes, their families and their communities to reduce the impact of a disaster.

For example, CERT training will prepare you to: ● Teach your neighbors about emergency preparedness. ● Make an emergency plan

This year the organization will be partnering with The Drive2Survive program.

Members said they hope to bring programs into the county schools and educate students on the risks of distracted driving by using highly equipped simulators inside automobiles.

The simulators will show student drivers the risks of distracted driving and driving under the influence first-hand.

The program includes a Seatbelt Awareness Marketing Contest for students, A Teen Safe Driving Rally, and additional seminars connecting teens and parents on safe driving habits.

“Automobile accidents have been the number one killer of teens across the country for decades,” Jerry Gowen, president and founder of the organization, said. “A lot of it has to do with just being inexperienced, the other part is being distracted. It comes down to getting rid of distractions like texting or talking on the phone, and refusing to drink and drive. We need to educate new drivers on the risks they take every time they get behind the wheel.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control, in 2009, more than 3,000 teens in the United States aged 15–19 were killed and more than 350,000 were treated in emergency departments for injuries suffered in motor-vehicle accidents. The same study showed that teen drivers are four times more likely to crash than more experienced, adult drivers.

About CRG Foundation Graduation day 2010 was missing a young man who wanted nothing more than to live a happy fullfilled life. Coty Ryan Gowen was going to walk across that stage witnessed by his family and friends. Unfortunately, his life was tragically ended the day before in an automobile accident. The CRG Foundation was founded to honor Coty’s memory and aid in the education and support of local teens.

The foundation was incorporated in 2010 as a 501c3 nonprofit. The foundation plans to be very active in the community offering teen driving programs, car seat installation clinics, and CPR/AED classes. In the future the organization would like to assist deserving teens meet their educational goals through our scholarship programs.

#1 Patrick Henry tops #2 Confederates 6-1 Moore’s 3-run homer breaks game open

By John Packett Media General News Services Defending Group AAA softball champion Lee-Davis was at a distinct disadvantage when the Confederates took the field for Thursday’s showdown with Hanover County rival Patrick Henry.

It was Lee-Davis’ opening game of the season, while the Patriots had already punished four opponents. The Confederates also were without hard-throwing right-hander Kelly Heinz, last season’s Times-

Dispatch player of the year.

Heinz is out for the season after undergoing offseason arm surgery. Starting in her place Thursday was freshman righthander Lauren McIntyre, and the Patriots capitalized with their potent lineup for a 6-1 victory in Ashland.

“It was tough coming into this game, knowing that they were already 4-0 and had four games under their belt, and we hadn’t been able to get on the field in a game situation yet,” said L-D coach Jackie Davis.

McIntyre pitched well and held the Patriots (5-0) to two runs through five innings before No. 1-ranked Patrick Henry

broke it open with a four-run sixth. A three-run homer by Sam Moore, who had three hits, capped the outburst.

“It’s always going to be a tight game with them,” said PH coach Matt Crowder, whose club handed Lee-Davis its only defeat last season. “They’ve got a young kid on the mound and I think she wore down a little bit at the end.”

Senior right-hander Emma Mitchell kept Lee-Davis’ bats under wraps most of the way, holding the second-ranked Confederates to five hits and off the scoreboard until the last inning. Mitchell struck out see SOFTBALL, pg. 41 `

The Mechanicsville Local March 28, 2012

The Patrick Henry baseball team is off to its best start under second year head coach Brad Nuckols and one of its best starts in recent years. Last week, the Patriots picked up three big wins and improved to 5-1 on the young season by downing Hermitage 3-0, Lee-Davis 12-6 and John Marshall 19-2. It is the explosive Patriot bats that have carried PH so far averaging 8.6 runs per game and 10.4 runs in their five wins. Their only loss came in an off game, going scoreless in a 0-7 home loss to Deep Run.

“The last two or three years we haven’t played up to our standards,” Nuckols said. “It’s good to have a good start like this year. Get some guys some confidence like this year. I think confidence goes a long way in terms of the season.”

While the Patriots are putting up the runs, Nuckols would like to see more consistency at the plate throughout the game.

“The hitting is kind of come in spurts,” he said. “If we can kind of get consistent hitting it would be even better.

“We’ve just got to take advantage of every opportunity that we have, getting men on base, we’ve got to get the pitches

to hit then deliver them.”

Against Lee-Davis, PH trailed 2-1 heading into the bottom of the fourth when they exploded for five runs. They then added six more in the bottom of the sixth to score 12 runs on 12 hits.

Nuckols felt once his team got started on offense, the feeling was contagious. “Once some guys got some hits they gained some confidence it just went up and down the lineup,” he said.

“Everybody went up there with an approach and had a good feeling going up there.”

Senior third baseman Cody Crawley has been leading the way at the plate for the Patriots

this season. Against Lee-Davis he was 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI and he was pleased with how well his team played against a tough county rival.

“Lee-Davis, I couldn’t tell you the last time we beat them that bad,” he said. “I wasn’t surprised.

We came out in warm-ups and the tempo was already high. We were geared up ready to go.”

Coming into the season, Crawley and his teammates found plenty of motivation after repeated close losses in 2011.

“A lot of one run losses last year,” he said. “We didn’t focus on defense. Conditioning was a see PATRIOTS, pg. 41 `

first six runners on base and jumped out to a 12-1 lead in the bottom of the first after sending 18 batters to the plate.

“Last year was like the same four guys every game hitting the ball,” Crawley said. “Now we’re kind of connecting, everybody hitting one through nine.”

Junior pitcher Kyle Palmer has been leading the way on the mound for the Patriots but they’ve also gotten good performances from Nathan Steele, Tyler Ross and Andrew Strong.

“I’ve been impressed with our pitching,” Nuckols said. “We’re throwing strikes.

Throwing it across the plate and letting them hit it. Overall I think we’ve done pretty well.

Obviously we have some room for improvement.”

So far it has been a season to remember for Patriot each contributed a pair of hits, with Woody and Tingler each knocking in one run.

The Confederates missed a golden opportunity in the second when they loaded the bases with no outs. But Mitchell struck out two, and Tingler’s catch accounted for the other out. A blooper by Becca Fields was first ruled a hit but the umpires huddled and changed it to a catch.

“That comes down to execution,” Davis said. “With the bases loaded and no outs, you’ve got to be able to put the ball in play. We’ve got to be able to score runs in that situation. That will come with time and with getting more games in against live pitching.”

“We’re playing great, better than anyone expected us to,” Crawley said. “No one expects us to do anything and takes us lightly and we come out and hit them in the mouth early.”

Nuckols agrees. “I think we’ve been playing pretty well,” he said, but still wants to see improvement. “We’ve still got some areas to work on. Defensively we need to get

better.”

The hitting has not only come from Crawley but across the board. Junior catcher Joe Bugas is off to a hot start and went 2-for-4 with two RBI against the Confederates.

Sadler helps launch NASCAR exhibit at CMoR The Children’s Museum of Richmond pays tribute to Virginia’s racing heritage

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Last Wednesday the Children’s Museum of Richmond and Richmond International Raceway joined forces in an effort to pay tribute the history of NASCAR racing in Virginia while at the same time building the future of the sport.

With the help of Emporia native Elliott Sadler, RIR and CMoR announced their plans to create an 800-squard-foot exhibit that will be put on display at the Children’s Museum to educate and develop interest in NASCAR among its youngest fans.

“We talk a lot in our sport; based on some recent studies that NASCAR did; about cultivating the next generation of race fan,” said RIR President Dennis Bickmeier. “We think this is a great way to do that. It’s a great way to educate young

people and educate families about our sport.”

As the 15th most visited children’s museum in the country, CMoR is a prime location to create the tie between the top local sport in a fun, yet educational way.

“You’ll see that children are having a good time but what we know is they’re actually learning,” said CMoR President/ CEO Karen Coltrane. “That’s the way we all learn is through play and having fun and I don’t think there’s anything more fun in town than the Children’s Museum.”

The exhibit, co-funded by The NASCAR Foundation and RIR Cares, will include four displays and eventually travel around the Richmond area to each of the three CMoR locations, downtown, Short Pump and Chesterfield.

The exhibit will be completed by late August, just in time to attract NASCAR fans who are visiting Richmond for RIR’s “Last Race to Make the Chase” in September.

The first portion of the

exhibit will be entitled ‘When they were young’ and pays tribute to Virginians who have made it big in NASCAR. Sadler will be part of the display.

“That’s pretty cool to be featured in the exhibit,” Sadler said. “I’m just a small town kid from Emporia, Virginia… to be a part of an exhibit is unreal. I’m honored. I’m floored and blown away and definitely blessed to be a part of this exhibit.

“I never dreamed I’d ever be part of any museum piece,” Sadler said. “But it’s neat how the state of Virginia really supports their drivers…It’s neat for them to let us be involved in this. It’s very special to all of us that grew up fans of the sport first.”

Other drivers represented at the unveiling were Chesterfield’s Denny Hamlin along with Jeff, Ward and Jeb Burton.

“It’s going to be very special for our young people to learn about these drivers and how they got started and how they got developed in their career to get where they are today,”

University of Richmond’s Bryan Conway (12) is congratulated after his 5th inning homerun against VCU at Pitt Field on the Richmond campus last Wednesday.

The Mechanicsville Local March 28, 2012

By John O’Connor Media General News Services On a wonderful Wednesday with the sun shining, a gentle breeze, and the temperature in the mid-70s, insulation helped the University of Richmond’s baseball team beat visiting Virginia Commonwealth 7-1.

Designated hitter Chris Cowell batted third for a veteran UR team that arrived at this city rivalry as the nation’s leader in homers (32 in 18 games).

“When you have three or four guys in a row who have power, especially at this (smallish) ballpark where the home run ball plays such a crucial

part in a lot of these games, I think pitchers who might be able to pitch around guys in other situations really don’t have that option,” said Cowell, a 6-foot-4, 215-pound senior from Devon, Pa. Richmond (13-6) led 3-1 in the fifth inning when Cowell, who had hit nine homers entering the game, came to the plate with two Spiders aboard. If VCU’s Michael Graham pitched around Cowell, he would have faced Phil Ruzbarsky, who had seven HRs. Behind him batted Bryan Conway, who had four homers. Next was Adam Forrer, who homered in the previous

inning.

Cowell got a belt-high pitch and launched a three-run homer way over the fence in left-center for a 6-1 UR lead.

One batter later, Conway hit a homer. Five of Richmond’s seven runs scored as the result of three homers.

“Whenever we’ve hit them, we’ve seemed to hit them in bunches,” said Cowell, now tied for the national lead with 10 homers.

This is how productive the Spiders have been this season: Wednesday’s seven-run output came up short of their scoring average (8.2 runs per game).

Another Richmond power surge overshadowed seven innings of three-hit pitching by sophomore right-hander Andrew Blum, who struck out seven and walked two.

VCU (11-10) came to Pitt Field aiming to keep the bottom portion of UR’s batting order off base to minimize damage done by the Spiders’ power hitters, according to Shawn Stiffler, the Rams’ associate head coach who directed VCU in the absence of suspended coach Paul Keyes.

“I thought, for the most part, we did a pretty good job of that,” Stiffler said. “But you can see see SPIDERS, pg. 43 `

“I can’t wait to bring my son and check out the cars,” Sadler said. “He definitely gets that from his father as well.”

For Sadler, the exhibit represents an important part of

keeping NASCAR alive. “Kids are our future,” he said. “You’ve got to have the kids involved in the sport early and they can come here and learn more about it…We want them to be a part of the NASCAR sport in any way they can, whether that’s sitting in the stands being a fan or whether that’s being a part of the sport.

“We’ve got some great race Facing Northeastern on Friday, Cowell and Conway each had three-run homers while redshirt junior Matt Zink added a solo shot to keep Richmond atop the NCAA standings with 38 home runs on the season.

The Spiders also lead the nation in home runs per game. Cowell currently leads the nation with 11 home runs on the season.

The Spiders will conclude their 11-game home stand this Tuesday when they play host to in-state rival William and Mary.

that the one inning we didn’t do it, they hung a five-spot on us.

They have seniors in the middle of their lineup. It’s their time to be good. And you know what?

They’re pretty good, especially at this ballpark.”

Keyes was suspended for a game by the CAA after being ejected for arguing with an umpire during Sunday’s loss at Hofstra. Four Rams also were suspended for various lengths because of their parts in a bench-clearing melee during that game.

tracks in this area where they can go and be a part of the sport and be crew members, race car drivers or whatever they want to be.”

Sadler knows, from his own development, how important it is to get started young, as he did racing in Hanover County nearly three decades ago. “I used to go there all the time.

It was called Hanover at the time,” he said of the track that is now Capital City Speedway in Ashland. “I used to go there and Amelia growing up when I was like seven years old.”

But Sadler said his love racing, and the love of every driver started before they ever climbed into a car. “I grew up as a fan first,” Sadler said. “I was a kid

first coming to the track trying to learn as much as I could about the sport from a fan’s perspective.

“The first time I ever came to Richmond International Raceway I wasn’t even a year old yet,” Sadler said. “I was there the day when Richard Petty was there and sat on the bulldozer and knocked down the wall that made it from a ½ mile track into a ¾ mile track.

“I feel like our family has grown along with Richmond International Raceway,” Sadler said. “It’s only fitting that we’re here today to be a part of this exhibit.”

Likewise, family has always been the key for the sport of NASCAR. “Our sport was built on families; again, Sadler, Burtons, the Wood Brothers,” Bickmeier said. “Our sport was built on that and the traditions and generations coming to the race track. We hope to see more of that coming back to Richmond International Raceway or continuing on, but using this (exhibit) as a springboard to getting kids excited about racing.”

Sadler happy with VCU’s Smart Though a noted North Carolina basketball fan, NASCAR driver Elliott Sadler was happy to see Coach Shaka Smart decide to stay at VCU. “What he has meant to the city of Richmond and to VCU athletics is just amazing,” Sadler said. “He’s just a great, great man- coaches very hard and

you can see the effort in his kids. It definitely starts at the top.

“We have become big fans of VCU in the last couple of years and a lot of that is because of Coach Smart. He has definitely changed the attitude of basketball in this area.”
