County budget gets final public airing By Jim Ridolphi news@mechlocal.com
Jim Ridolphi
Sarah Chenault made a heartfelt plea not to cut the number of group homes in the county at last Wednesday’s public hearing on the 2011 budget. Her sister Hannah helped her with the microphone.
As Hanover County enters the final phase of its 2011 budget process, the public got a final opportunity to voice opinions on the proposed $384 million document. Despite substantial cuts in most departments in the county, including schools, most speakers voiced support for the proposed plan, and many urged using recently added state allocations to minimize the cutbacks. The current proposal cuts 35 teaching positions in the coun-

Hanover Tavern Foundation continues entertainment tradition Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com The tradition of good food, good drink, good fun and great entertainment continued on Friday, March 26, at the Hanover Tavern when Steve Bassett performed to a sold-out house in the theatre. Presented by the Hanover Tavern Foundation, the evening featured Bassett’s distinctive Southern rock/R&B/soul style music, as well as reminisces and stories about his songs and a lifetime in music. The concert, which ran about 90 minutes, wrapped up with“Sweet Virginia Breeze”, the unofficial state song of Virginia, co-written and recorded with good friend Robbin Thompson. Admission included a pre-concert cocktail party, featuring various finger sandwiches, assorted cheeses, bruchetta, smoked salmon,
and spinach and artichoke dip, all presented on a table highlighted by a swan ice carving by Hanover Tavern Restaurant & Pub’s own sous chef Kyle Midgett. Patrons also were treated to an after concert meet and greet with Bassett. This was the first of four music events to be hosted by Hanover Tavern Foundation in the Harmony in Hanover fundraising concert series. Upcoming musical events include: ■ Ron Moody & the Centaurs: June 25, Concert in the tent. ■ Jackass Flats: Sept. 17th, Concert in the tent. ■ Richmond Philharmonic: Nov. 13th, Concert in the theatre. For details and ticket information, visit the tavern WSeb site at www.hanovertavern.org or call site manager Laura Curzi at 537-5050, extension 21.

Local film company featured at Atlee library Local filmmaker Zack Matzganis and his associates from Red Eyed Dragon Productions recently presented a program on filmmaking and editing during Teen Tech Week at the Atlee Branch of the
Pamunkey Regional Librarys. They talked making and editing a film short and the opportunities in front of and behind the camera. They started in high school theater and have continued their edu-
cation in film, theater and creative writing. Their film short, “The Best”, entered in the Virginia Student Film Festival, and a local commercial shot for Lipscomb Appliance in Mechanicsville were featured.
Kristina, who is seeking employment, was hindered since she did not have her own vehicle to get to interviews. The lack of transportation also has been an issue in getting her 18-month-old son Brody to doctor’s appointments. With the Hyundai, which has undergone extensive repairs, Kristina is now able to pursue gainful employment and take
Brody to the doctor. Chris Edwards joined his wife and son for the presentation at Collision One on Mechanicsville Turnpike. “It’s an amazing thing — people going out of their way to do something for someone who needs it,” he said before receiving the keys to the car. “I didn’t know there were people around this nice — to do
something for people they don’t even know,” Kristina added. Beau Morris of Collision joined Whittaker in handing the keys to the Edwards family. Also on hand were the Collision One team involved in the project, as well as Andy Williams, State Farm estimatics team manager, and Jack Cullen, State Farm estimatics section manager.

tion to cut the number of group homes took Jones by surprise. “I was shocked to find out that Hanover County was considering these changes when residential services are so desperately needed,” she said. “I urge you to maintain the current number of group homes and capacity.” Sarah Chenault, 23, offered living proof of the success of the group homes. Accompanied by her sister Hannah, 16, Chenault said the Adilane Lane home has a huge impact on her life. She said consolidating the current homes would disrupt a plan that works well for her. “That plan means me and my housemates would have to move from Adaline Lane to another group home in Montpelier, over 30 miles away,” Chenault, a Lee-Davis High School and J. Sergeant Reynolds graduate, said. “That would be unfair because nobody has talked to us about the move or asked us for our opinion. I ask you to please leave the group homes as they are today.” Several speakers focused on the upcoming school budget, and most supported Hanover County Public Schools Superintendent Dr. Stewart D. Roberson’s
proposed plan. Many urged the board to restore funds to eliminate the need for cutting teaching positions. Additional monies from the state in the form of deferred Virginia Retirement System payments will add about $1.3 million to the school’s budget. Many speakers urged the board to use that money to restore the slashed teachers’ positions. Cammie Gemmill, a resource teacher at South Anna Elementary School, told the supervisors that maintaining that special Hanover edge in education is her top priority regarding the current budget process. “Hanover County is known for quality education,” Gemmill said. “When you get a job in Hanover County, you quickly learn there’s a Hanover way of doing things.” Gemmill said that special brand of education deserves the support of the community. “The Hanover way requires people,” she said. “Losing teachers will undoubtedly affect the quality of education we are able to provide to our students,” Gemmill added. “I’m asking you tonight to do your best to help us be our best by supplementing the Hanover County schools’ budget in order to help save our teachers.” Maris Talley, a Mechanicsville resident and county employee, voiced his concern regarding the proposed additional work
hours for some positions. “There’s about 30 percent of Hanover employees who work 37½ hours and are paid for 37½ hours,” Talley said. “Under this budget they are going to be required to increase their work hours to 40 hours a week, but will not be paid for that extra time,” he added. The extra hours amount to about three weeks’ time over a year-long period, according to Talley. “I am asking for you all to consider what is fair, not targeting a group of employees and certainly not asking them to work and not paying them. If we have gotten to this point in the county where we are requiring employees to work without pay, I suggest to you we have a much bigger problem than dollars and cents,” Talley added. In addition to the extra workload requirements, the proposed budget also eliminates about 21 county positions and 30 positions are unfunded with 20 frozen. The Sheriff ’s Office would lose seven positions and Fire/EMS would be decreased by five positions. Also, convenience stations would close one day a week to save money, and library hours would be reduced. Barring further amendments or adjustments, the Board of Supervisors will consider the proposed 2011 budget at its April 14 meeting beginning at 2 p.m.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
Our community a big part of JSRCC success While we are well aware of the excellence in our county school system, it’s impressive when a significant member of the education community acknowledges that success. Dr. Gary Rhodes, president of J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College, was most gracious and complimentary of the Hanover County Public Schools during a luncheon last Tuesday at his office. He also praised the working relationship of Dr. Stewart D. Roberson, school superintendent, and Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr., county administrator. That said, Dr. Rhodes also pointed to the role the Mechanicsville community and Hanover County play in the successes enjoyed at JSRCC. He also talked about the school’s history and its exciting future. Of particular interest to this writer is a workforce development center, which is now under construction on the East Parham Road campus. JSRCC offers many degree programs and serves as a great start for students looking to move to institutions of higher learning such as Virginia Commonwealth University. An important role the college has been playing during the recent economic downturn has been to provide options for those who have found themselves unemployed after sometimes many years in the workforce. This is where those two-year programs can make such a difference. With Mechanicsville and Hanover County so well represented at JSRCC, expect to see more news from such a great contributor. We are part of that school and we welcome the opportunity to share the news and events taking place on its campuses.
Etc. ☞ Construction continues on the visitor’s center at the Historic Polegreen Church. Thanks to the efforts of the Foundation and executive director Chris Peace, this symbol of our county’s role in history brings such pride to all. Melody Kinser

Signing date significant According to the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, “Each state retains its sovereignty, freedom, and independence, and every power, jurisdiction, and right, which is not by this Confederation expressly delegated to the United States,
in Congress assembled.” Our very own Del. Chris Peace patroned H.B. 722 which prohibits the federal government from requiring Virginians to buy health insurance and holds them harmless from any penalties resulting from people not buying health coverage. The opponents will point out that all drivers have to buy insurance, but that requirement was imposed by the individual states and not everybody drives. It is fitting that Gov. McDonnell would sign this bill on the 235th anniversary of Patrick Henry’s “Liberty or Death” speech. Patrick Henry would be proud of Chris Peace for standing up to the same type of arrogant tyranny from a bossy centralized government he and the other Founding Fathers faced down more than 200 years ago.

Master plan sparks questions With the recent adoption of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan by the Board of Supervisors, some Hanover citizens might once again be wondering whether their input to a process is given any weight. Prior to embarking on the year-long update, the department surveyed Hanover citizens regarding their priorities for features and amenities. Among the top five priorities named by survey respondents were nature trails, walking/jogging trails and bike paths. Athletic fields did not even rank in the top 10. Yet the plan as adopted is heavy on ball fields and light on trails and natural areas. A poor land use pattern has repeated once again with attention to the built space coming first and green space relegated second. That’s exactly backwards from what it should be.
A real proactive philosophy for retaining and linking natural areas seems missing from the plan. Hanover County is poised for a 20-year phase-in of 23 lighted, irrigated athletic fields. Citizens will bear the costs of electricity, water and field maintenance. That’s more than just a little something economically and environmentally out of kilter. Pattie Bland Montpelier

Israel a partner with the U.S. Israel is a partner with the U.S. in the fight against terrorism and is our most important ally in the Middle East. Israel is under threat of direct attack by Iran, a country whose president says he wants to wipe Israel off the map, and has
threatened America as well. The conflict between Israel and the Palestinians is about ideology and religion. The two sides will live in peace only when they acknowledge each other’s right to exist. Christians, Palestinians and Israeli Arabs have the same right to live in Jerusalem as the Jewish people do. All religions are protected under Israeli control. Israel recognizes that there is a Palestinian people with a right to a homeland. The problem is, no Hamas leader will say that there is a Jewish people who have the historic right to Israel, with Jerusalem, as its capital. It takes all sides to make peace.
Jerusalem should be shared but not divided. Since Israel has the best track record of safeguarding holy sites, they should maintain control. There are no easy lines to draw to divide Jerusalem. Jews live on one block, Arabs another, and some blocks are mixed. Sewage, water and the electric grid are all shared and maintained by Israel for all residents. We need to remember freedom and openness. Israel and its capital, Jerusalem, embody those freedoms and should be celebrated, not divided. Bill Boyer III Henrico

‘Butterflies Are Free’ to open on April 9 at Barksdale Theatre Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com “Butterflies Are Free” by Leonard Gershe will be presented April 9 through May 16 at the Barksdale Theatre at Hanover Tavern. After its sold-out world premiere
the fresh, sunny comedy transferred to Broadway, won a Tony Award and ran for a crowd-pleasing three years. Loosely based on the life of blind attorney Harold Krents, and featuring original music by Stephen Schwartz, the composer of Godspell and the
current mega-hit Wicked, “Butterflies Are Free” tells the story of Don Baker, an ambitious young man who, though sightless from birth, moves into an apartment in New York City, leaving his protective family in Scarsdale for the freedom and independence — and
romance — he has always craved. Gershe was nominated for by Academy Award for his screenplay “Funny Face.” The production is being directed by Billy Christopher Maupin. Barksdale Theatre is located at 13181
Hanover Courthouse Road in Hanover. Single tickets are $38; seniors $35; groups of 15 or more $32; and lastminute rush tickets $20. For tickets, call the box office at 282-2620 or buy them online at www. BarksdaleRichmond.org.

DCP, ACRE signup under way By Kenneth G. Upshaw Farm Service Agency Enrollment for the 2010 Direct and Counter-cyclical Program (DCP) has begun and will continue through June 1, 2010. USDA computes DCP Program payments using base acres and payment yields established for each farm. Eligible producers receive direct payments at rates established by statute regardless of market prices. For 2010, eligible producers may request advance direct payments based on 22 percent of the direct payment. The optional ACRE Program provides a safety net based on state revenue losses and acts in place of the price-based safety net of counter-cyclical payments under DCP. The June 1, 2010, signup deadline is mandatory for all participants. USDA will not accept any late-filed applications. A farm’s payment is based on a revenue guarantee calculated using a five-yearaverage state yield and the most recent two-year national price for each eligible commodity. For 2010, the two-year price average will be based on the 2008 and 2009 crop years. An ACRE payment is issued when both the state and the farm have incurred a revenue loss. The payment is based on 83.3 percent (85 percent in 2012) of the farm’s planted acres times the difference between

sible resume. This resume style begins almost every bullet point with the words, â&#x20AC;&#x153;responsible for.â&#x20AC;? It would appear that the person writing this resume wants the reader to know all of the functions listed on his or her job description. This is the least useful type of resume to HR and hiring managers. And, because of this, the type that did not make it into my â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? pile
In my experience as a Human Resources executive and later as a HR and management consultant, I found that resumes tend to come in three flavors. The first type is the respon-
no matter how many keywords matched my hiring criteria. I will get to why shortly. The second type of resume is the do resume. In this format, the writer lists all of his or her responsibilities beginning with action verbs such as: managed, coordinated or produced. This format is better than the responsible resume, but still is lacking for reasons we will soon discuss. These resumes would garner a little more of my attention, and therefore, would more often land in the stack of people to interview. So, why did I have issues with the responsible and do resumes. You see, a responsible resume does not tell me what you did, it only tells me a list of job responsibilities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; what your former and/or current positions encompassed. It does not tell me if you did anything. In a do resume, you have hopefully told me what you did. However, it does not give me the most important informa-

The Virginia Animal Control Association will be observing and supporting National Animal Control Appreciation Week April 11-17. This is a week to celebrate and give thanks to the women and men of the animal control profession who work tire-
lessly for the improved welfare of animals and people. Animal control professionals in Virginia provide an invaluable service to the citizens of the Commonwealth. Enforcement of animal laws, rabies prevention, humane education and the care of stray animals are just a few of the many services that animal control professionals do on a daily basis.
Each day these men and women go to work knowing the difficulties they will face, the challenges they must overcome. They ask for little but will work tirelessly to make a difference in the lives of animals and people. For more information, visit the National Animal Control Association Web site at: http://www.nacanet.org/aco_ appreciation.html.

Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Roy E. Seward, a 42-year state employee, was recognized by the Virginia Agribusiness Council as its 2010 Special Recognition award recipient. Donna Pugh Johnson, council president, presented Seward with his award during the March 25 meeting of the Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services, and was joined by Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services and agency staff in recognizing his history of dedicated service to the Commonwealth and the agribusiness industry. Seward serves as director of the Office of Policy, Planning and Research at the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services (VDACS), a role he has held since 1996. After growing up on a hog and peanut farm in Surry County, Seward pursued a degree from the University of Virginia, joined the Virginia Air National Guard, and then sought employment at VDACS. He began his career at the agency
in 1968, when soon after graduating from college he accepted a job to “inform the public about all things agriculture.” After a seven-year stint at the Virginia Soil and Water Conservation Commission, Seward returned to VDACS in 1977, joining the staff of thenVDACS Commissioner Mason Carbaugh as executive assistant a year later. In 1992, he moved from the commissioner’s staff to the

In addition to the other duties of his job, Seward was elected secretary of the Board of Agriculture and Consumer Services in 1988, a post he currently holds. During his 35 years of employment at VDACS, Seward has worked during the administrations of 12 governors and soon, six Commissioners of Agriculture and Consumer Services. During her presentation, Johnson said “We are happy to recognize Roy E. Seward today for his outstanding service at a place that is so central to his service. Many of you, like myself, turn to Roy as a source of knowledge, expertise and a valuable historical perspective on a frequent basis.”
“His commitment to the Commonwealth, to VDACS and to the industry of agriculture is clear, as is the stamp he has made upon this agency,” she added. “It is my pleasure to present Roy E. Seward with our 2010 Special Recognition Award.” The Virginia Agribusiness Council represents agricultural and forestry producers, suppliers, marketers, processors and commodity associations in the Commonwealth with a unified voice through its government affairs activities. The council has a combined membership of more than 40,000. For more information on the Virginia Agribusiness Council, visit www.va-agribusiness.org.
Electric linemen from Virginia, Maryland, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina and as far away as Las Vegas, Nev., are scheduled to compete in the 8th annual Gaffn-Go Lineman’s Rodeo, Friday and Saturday, April 9-10, at The Meadow Event Park near Doswell in Caroline County. The competition among three-man line crew teams and individual apprentice linemen takes place 40 feet above the ground on a course of utility poles that offers professional linemen the opportunity to demonstrate their technical skills as they perform a variety of designated tasks during five
timed and scored events. Each team or individual apprentice is judged not only on the length of time it takes to perform a task but, more importantly, on whether the task was performed according to safe and efficient work practices. Twenty-six teams and more than 50 apprentices are scheduled to complete in the 2010 event. These competitors will represent all sectors of the electric utility industry: electric cooperatives, investor-owned utilities, municipal power systems and contract utility companies. The Gaff-n-Go Lineman’s Rodeo is the only event of its type held in Virginia. The name of the event refers to the “gaff ” (metal spike) that
linemen attach to their boots to assist in climbing wooden utility poles. It is sponsored by the Virginia, Maryland and Delaware Association of Electric Cooperatives (VMDAEC), with all proceeds benefiting a scholarship foundation for college and vocational school-bound high school graduates. Activities kick off at The Meadow Event Park on Friday, April 9, at 11 a.m. with the Altec Sentry Equipment Operators Rodeo in which participants will demonstrate their expertise in operating bucket trucks and other utility equipment. The Gaff-n-Go Lineman’s Rodeo competition begins the next day, Saturday, April 10, at see LINEMEN, pg. 28 `

Confederate Pvt. William Timberlake was remembered on Saturday, March 20, by the Edmund Ruffin Camp #3000, Sons of the Confederate Veterans. A memorial service was held for the private, who was a member of the 24th Virginia Cavalry, at the Tyler family cemetery in Mechanicsville. The Edmund Ruffin Camp repaired Timberlake’s grave, which had been desecrated for relics. His headstone had been thrown into a nearby lake. A new stone — donated by Bennett Funeral Home — was erected in the soldier’s honor. While preparations were

Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office initiated heroin distribution investigation Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Gerrick D. Gambrell, 40, of Bronx, N.Y., has been sentenced to 30 years in prison for conspiracy to distribute heroin. Neil H. MacBride, United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, and James R. Gregorius, Assistant Special Agent-In-Charge, Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), made the announcement after the final sentencing Thursday by United States District Judge Henry E. Hudson. The evidence established that beginning in January 2000, Gambrell controlled a drug organization that supplied heroin to the Richmond area. Gambrell, along with other members
of the organization regularly transported kilogram quantities of heroin from New York by rental cars for distribution in the Richmond metropolitan area, over a nineyear period. The couriers would conduct business in local hotels, distributing the heroin to local drug dealers, and return to New York with the proceeds of the sale. Gambrell’s arrest was the culmination of an eight-year investigation initiated by the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office, and resulted in approximately 30 convictions for serious drug trafficking in the Richmond area. Following the recent arrest of several close members of the organization, Gambrell was apprehended in New York. He pleaded guilty to one count of conspira-
cy to distribute more than one kilogram of heroin, a charge that carries a maximum of life imprisonment. At the sentencing hearing, the evidence established that the 30 kilograms, when broken down for sale on the street, amounted to approximately 375,000 doses of heroin, with a street value of more than $5 million. The case was investigated by the DEA, the Criminal Investigation Division of the Internal Revenue Service, the Richmond Police Department, the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Department and the Virginia State Police. Assistant United States Attorney Peter S. Duffey prosecuted the case on behalf of the United States.

Darryl Starnes, spokesman for Edmund Ruffin Camp, said it was likely the only funeral service the two young soldiers ever had. Many soldiers were hastily buried by local families after being killed in several small skirmishes throughout Hanover County. A memorial plaque was presented to Allen K. Smith, descendant of William Timberlake. He also received a folded flag in honor of the two unknown soldiers. With April designated as Confederate History Month, members of Edmund Ruffin Photos courtesy of Edmund Ruffin Camp #3000 Camp #3000 are planning other A Rifle Valley Salute was included in the memorial service for Pvt.

Bettinger has ‘good’ day against C-feds First inning grand slam followed by shut out relief for Raider By Dave Lawrence sports@mechlocal.com Atlee’s Ryan Bettinger just “wanted to do good.” In the Raiders’ first game this season against Capital District rival Lee-Davis on Wednesday, Bettinger – who started as designated hitter in the cleanup spot – did rather well, hitting a grand slam in the first inning. In the fourth inning, he took on another role, relief pitcher, and in that role he snuffed out
a nascent Confederate rally to help lead the visiting Raiders to a 5-1 victory. “I just worked hard,” Bettinger said. “We all worked hard and played very good.” When Bettinger stepped
up to the plate in the first, the setting was ripe for a slugger’s harvest. Fellow Raiders Paul Keyes, Chop Pulisic and Austin Young reached on three straight singles off of Lee-Davis starter Michael Kluver. None of the three hits had been very hard, but Bettinger changed that. On a 2-1 count, he drove Kluver’s pitch 350 feet over the center field fence. “I just went for it. I saw and went after it,” Bettinger said. “I felt like it was a normal line drive and it just happened to go over.” Bettinger realized what he

freshman year,” Lewis said. “I just believe in the kid. … I know he came to the ballpark ready. They just strung some hits together.” Lee-Davis started off hot, too, responding with a leadoff double by Angus and a single by Parsley. That, unfortunately, was the Confederates’ last hit of the game. In the second inning, when Lee-Davis got its only score, and did so on a walk of Billy Steel, a hit batter (Kluver), a sacrifice bunt by Jacob Perks, and an RBI groundout to the shortstop by Michael Thomas
allowed Steel to score. A strikeout ended the inning. Despite its lack of hitting, Lee-Davis had men in scoring position in the fourth and sixth innings as well, but in neither case could the Confederates bring them home. “Give credit to Atlee, they were better coached and better prepared,” Lewis said. “I’ll have to do some inventory of myself. I think our kids came ready to play.” Atlee coach Kevin Elrod said he’s been working hard to get his players motivated this see BASEBALL, pg. 39 `

Lowry and Geiger have preliminary hearings scheduled for April 16. “I cannot comment on any specific student-athlete’s situation,” said UR Athletic Director Jim Miller. “However, in accordance with our student-athlete code of conduct, any studentathlete charged with a felony is immediately suspended from all team activities.” All three were charged with felonies. Team activities include practice. In his four seasons at Hanover, Mayers went 276 with a 1.17 ERA and seven saves. The 2009 all-state player struck out 319 and walked 55 in 221 2/3 innings.

L-D again edges Atlee in extra innings C-feds take 10 inning mini marathon 3-2 By JP Beauchamp sports@mechlocal.com The last time the Atlee and Lee-Davis softball teams faced off it was a 20 inning marathon before C-Fed first baseman, Merideth Holmes, drove in the one and only run of the game for the C-Feds to take the Capital District Tournament title 1-0. Although some new faces were on the field this year, the strength and composition of these two young teams brought on a mini-marathon classic in the most recent rematch last Wednesday when Lee-Davis escaped with a 3-2 win in 10 innings. Lee-Davis shortstop Taylor Melken sent a Jessica Holte pitch deep into the right field to bring in the tie-breaking run for a C-Feds. “I was looking for her to pitch me inside like she had been all game; and she got in a few inside,” Melken said. “I was extremely nervous for the second game in a row now to be
in that position again with two outs and all my girls on base and having to clutch and hit. It was pretty nerve wracking, but my girls were behind me and they were screaming and yelling and got me hyped up. I was just excited and really looking for the hit that I got. Melken said she and her teammates just followed the game plan throughout. “We definitely wanted to execute our short game a lot,” Melken said. “We wanted to make sure our defense was tight because we knew they were going to be a good hitting team, and a good competitor. So, we were making sure we were tight on the infield and on the outfield, and on offense also.” Lee-Davis head coach Jackie Davis felt it was important to have a home field win like this early in the season against a top district rival. “We always want to get the jump on the district and get the district wins,” she said. “Atlee is always very competitive; they always have a very good defensive team; and they’ve always played the small game really well. I told the girls going in tonight that the team

and consistent game, racking up 12 strike-outs, and giving up 11 hits and one walk. With five at-bats for the game, Heinz found holes in the center and right field to rack up three hits (including a stand-up double) and one walk. “She’s throwing real hard for us right now, and she’s doing a nice job finishing the game,” Davis said. “We only have one senior on our team, so we’re very young defensively. We are young, not producing a lot of runs, so having her consistent on the mound is key for us. But Atlee was not without its own impressive performance on the mound in freshman pitcher Jessica Holte. In the 10-inning header, Holte dealt up nine strike-outs, giving up 10 hits and two walks.

carry plenty of youth, but are progressing with each game and were prepared to take on one of the region’s top teams in LeeDavis. “We were just up and up and up,” Holte said. “Our intensity was great. We tried really hard in the field and were working…we just tried our hardest. Our hitting was pretty good. We were off a little. We did really well. When it came, we tried and most of the time we did well. We did a big practice yesterday preparing for this game. We did a lot of field practice and a lot of hitting.” Going into extra innings for the first time this season made Holte a little nervous. “I had butterflies in my stomach,” she said. “It felt good. I was excited.” But as far as digging in for reserves of strength, Holte had what she needed. “I play travel ball, so it’s a normal thing; but it was a little more exciting here,” she said. “It was my first big game.” Holte, who also managed to score one of Atlee’s two runs of
the game indicated her expectations for the season are high. “I think we’re going to do great,” she said. “We did really well in this game, and this is number two. So I think we’ll be able to do really well against the other teams.” Even though they came away with the win, Davis pointed out it is still early in the season for the C-feds. “My expectation is to be competitive with Hanover and Atlee in the district; and hopefully the goal is to come out on top of the district,” she said. “But it’s going to be tough battles with Atlee and Hanover throughout the year.” Atlee--------- 000 100 001 0 - 2 6 0 Lee-Davis----000 100 001 1 - 3 10 3 Holte and Keyes; Heinz and Parker; W: Heinz, L: Holte Highlights: Mackenzie Keyes (A) 3 for 5; Emily Denoon (A) 2 for 4, RBI; Kelly Heinz (LD) 3 for 4, 2B; Meredith Holmes (LD) 2 for 4, RBI; Charyssa Parent (LD) 2 for 4, RBI Records: Atlee 0-1 Capital District, 2-4; Lee-Davis 1-0, 4-1
NASCAR comes to Mechanicsville Kroger Apr. 7 Drivers Allgaier and Leffler will face the heat in BUBBA Burger competition From press release
With the BUBBA burger 250 NASCAR Nationwide Series race just a month away, many of the drivers are licking their chops—not only for the race, but also the “Signature BUBBA burger®” Contest that kicked off last week. Two NASCAR Nationwide Series drivers—Justin Allgaier and Jason Leffler will showcase their creations live and in person on Wednesday, April 7 at a Richmond-area Kroger grocery store, and fans may join in the fun and get a free BUBBA burger® for lunch. Allgaier, Leffler, WRIC-TV8 meteorologist Matt DiNardo, WTVR traffic reporter Amanda Meadows and Y101
radio host “Sludge” will square off in a mini competition on April 7, beginning at 10:45 a.m. at Kroger (6335 Mechanicsville Turnpike, Mechanicsville, VA 23111). Each contestant will walk the aisles of Kroger to find ingredients for their “Signature BUBBA burger®.” They will first select their choice of BUBBA burger®, which includes: the Original, Reduced Fat, Certified Angus, Sweet Onion, Jalapeno, the Minis (BUBBA burger® sliders) and the brand new, All Natural Turkey BUBBA burger®. Next, contestants may choose any type of topping to create their “Signature BUBBA burger®.” Combinations are only limited by the contestants’ imaginations. After finishing off their grocery list in Kroger, the contestants will convene outside, where grill masters will help prepare the tasty burgers. Once the burgers are created, a panel of judges (track president Doug Fritz, Richmond. com editor Karri Peifer and
Jamie Sakin with BUBBA burger) will taste each burger to determine the day’s champion. Richmond International Raceway announced the “Signature BUBBA burger®” Contest last week, opening the event to all NASCAR Nationwide Series drivers. Participants are encouraged to submit a description of their creation, upon which the entries will be showcased on www.rir.com for a fan vote. Voting ends Monday, April 26. The top five vote-getters will be invited to participate in a final “Signature BUBBA burger®” Challenge at Richmond International Raceway on April 30. The burgers will be showcased for a panel of judges to taste and to determine the winner. The champion burger and creator will be recognized during BUBBA burger 250 pre-race ceremonies and the driver’s team will win a BUBBA burger® lunch at their race shop. NASCAR returns to

Schroeder swims through successful career with Raiders By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com Katie Schroeder dove into the pool as a competitor in the 200-meter freestyle and emerged in first place. She also broke the state record -- 2 minutes 3 seconds -- with a time of 2 minutes 2 seconds. The previous record was set in 2007. The Atlee High School senior participated in the AAA State Championships in Virginia Beach on Feb. 20. Looking back on that day, she said, “I wasn’t rested for the meet because my club coach doesn’t let us rest, so basically I just had to work as hard as I could and swim as fast as I could and win.” Her swim coaches at Atlee are Karen Seeber and Jackie Barnes. Katie became interested in swimming at the age of 7. “My sister Kristi started swimming before me, and I got really jealous of her so I started swimming the following year.” Kristi, a junior, is attending Marshall University in

Huntington, W.Va., on a swim/ academic scholarship. Saying she is the better swimmer now, Katie has accepted a scholarship to attend the University of Alabama. She chose the Tuscaloosa-based university because “The SEC (Southeastern Conference) is the fastest conference to be in.” Katie expects and welcomes challenges and incentives from swimmers she will encounter in meets on the university level. Her goals include training

for the 2012 Olympic trials. “This year and last year I was Regional Swimmer of the Year,” Katie said. “For my year-round team I’ve gotten the distance honors award since I was a freshman and I’ve gotten women’s swimming MVP since sophomore year.” With the state competition, her swimming career at Atlee has come to an end, but Katie continues to train with Ted Sallade, club coach at Poseidon Swimming in Midlothian.
“We swim in the morning and in the afternoon, so it’s a total of like 10 practices a week,” Katie said. For three years Katie has joined with her year-round team in working with inner city kids. “We teach them how to swim on Saturdays,” she said. Between her studies and swimming, she said that “basically is all I have time for.” She does make time to volunteer in Nicole Inge’s first grade class at Cool Spring Elementary School. “It’s through service learning,” Katie said, “which is a community service class.” She said she doesn’t “really talk about swimming that much with them, but I know some of the girls in the class are on the swim team.” During the summer months, Katie and her younger brother Kyle swim in a league offered by the Atlee Recreation Association. Unlike his sisters, Kyle can’t be found in the pool year-round. Katie’s parents are Jeff and Cheree Schroeder of Mechanicsville.
