Bond denied for teen accused in ax attack By Jim Ridolphi news@mechlocal.com A Hanover County teenager charged with malicious wounding will remain in custody until his trial begins at on June 30. Friends, family and supporters of Omar K. Abdelaal who attended the bond hearing left the Hanover Circuit Court disappointed with Judge J. Overton Harris’s ruling that was not ambiguous. Harris told 16-year-old defendant Omar Abdelaal and his attorney Craig Cooley that he was not convinced the teen did not represent a flight risk or a danger to the community, denying his motion for bond

Attorney Linda Scott told the court the attack was unprovoked and the defendant told investigators he wasn’t sure why he struck the victim, a 15-yearold Lee-Davis High School student whose family also was present at the hearing. “He was standing there with his hands by his side when he was struck,” Scott said. Facts surrounding the actual attack are largely undisputed, and the entire episode was caught on video by a store security camera. The assault KHALED ABDELAAL took place at Tractor Supply i to be set at $20,000 and the Mechanicsville.

On Saturday, April 10, the East Hanover Volunteer Rescue Squad Search and Rescue Canine Team, referred to as SAR K-9 Team, started its journey towards State Certification. The volunteers and their tracking dogs arrived at Poor Farm Park in Ashland to begin in-depth training to fulfill the mission of the SAR K-9 Team: To provide the citizens of Hanover County, without cost, highly trained search and rescue personnel along with their K-9s to help locate the lost and missing in the community. These services are available to law enforcement and Fire/EMS. Attending was the leader of the East Hanover SAR K-9 Team, volunteer Ed Martin and his bloodhound Maggie Mae. Accompanying Ed were Eddie Anderson with his bloodhound Bella, Ven Barnes with his beagle mix Roxy Shea, Brian Parrish and bloodhound Hobbes, and the newest addition to the team, bloodhound puppy Maggie Ma with owners Kathy Ashworth and Brad Walport. Kathy and Brad had with them family members Brooke Taroli and Hailee Ashworth. Brooke and Hailee quickly became mock search subjects that day, and the dogs loved to show off. “If we are tracking a person with Alzheimer’s that has wandered away from

their home, or a child that has gotten lost in the woods while hiking, our goal is to be on scene and tracking as quick as possible,” Martin said. “If the missing person is one of your family members, we want to bring them back to you safe and sound. Activation of the Search and Rescue K-9 Team becomes absolutely essential to the mission’s success.” According to Martin, the East Hanover Team will train all working breads of dogs from collies, shepherds, labradors to the well-renowned bloodhounds. Through the program, dogs locate people who are lost or missing from their human scent left behind by more than 40,000 skin cells dropped every minute. see K-9S, pg. 4 `

The East Ashland development has gotten the go-ahead from Hanover County supervisors, clearing the last hurdle for the mixed-use development that straddles the towncounty border. The Ashland Town Council gave its approval April 20. Final changes include acquiring property to build an entrance to the development from state Route 54 across from Woodside Lane, placing age restrictions on 22 housing units, creating a landscaped median for Route 54, and reducing the total number of dwelling units in the county by five to 599. The Ashland portion of the development will have 224 residential units. More than 300,000 square feet of commercial or retail space will be built in the county, with more than 500,000 square feet of commercial or retail in the town. Supervisors were unanimous in their support during last Wednesday’s regular meeting. Aubrey M. Stanley, who represents the Beaverdam

District, said he had been through 44 meetings with constituents as development plans worked their way through various approvals. The board also dealt with problems of growth at the annual Tomato Festival, which attracted 42,000 people on a perfect summer day last year and backed up traffic on Pole Green Road nearly to Interstate 295. For this summer’s festival on July 10, the county will have additional parking areas near the wastewater treatment facility and will use a private road, Tate Road, for access. Residents protested that they maintain the narrow gravel road, will not be able to get to their homes easily during the festival, and have concerns about safety and liability issues. Charles D. McGhee, who represents the Henry District, moved for approval with conditions suggested by the county, and other supervisors agreed. The parks department will improve the road before and after the festival. A landscaped buffer and fence separating Tate Road from the park also will be extended with a locked gate.

bers also attend other training sessions held by other groups across Virginia. Education is a vital part of helping locate the missing or lost person. The SAR K-9 Team is dedicated to educating children and adults about how to be safe in the woods while hiking and what to take with them to help them be found in the event that they get lost. Members also provide adults with information about the things they can provide to

them when they arrive that can aid them in locating the lost or missing person. At the end of the class, if time and weather permits, they will conduct a short SAR exercise using the K-9 to locate a subject. They use a program produced by the Association of National Park Rangers called “Lost! ... But Found Safe and Sound”. It is a 12-minute video for kids 4 to 12 years old. They present this video along with handson demonstrations about how

to use the material covered in the video. Even though the video is for kids, the parents can pick up on tips to use to help keep their child safe if they do get lost. If you would like to schedule a class for your school, church, civic group or other organization, contact the East Hanover Volunteer Rescue Squad at 746-5883 or visit www.ehvrs.org.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

Unique dilemma: how to handle event growth The Hanover County Board of Supervisors seemed to have landed in an unusual and enviable position with the upcoming Hanover Tomato Festival. With a record-breaking attendance of 42,000 last year, the issue of parking made its way into last Wednesday’s regular meeting. As July 10 approaches, the supervisors agreed to allow for the usage of parking areas near the wastewater treatment facility, as well as Tate Road, which is a private road, for access. Considered “the” event in Hanover County, the Tomato Festival has certainly come a long way from its humble beginnings. Starting out as a fundraiser for the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department, the event was originally based at the fire station. As interest grew, and attendance swelled, the Tomato Festival, under the leadership of Oscar Watson, moved to Battlefield Park Elementary School. And the festival continued to grow, leading to the move to Pole Green Park. Traffic, as has been addressed before, was an issue in 2009. Despite the best efforts of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office and volunteers, Pole Green Road looked like an endless road of vehicles last year. Bursting at the seams is an apt description for the Tomato Festival. With its growth and success, it’s a veritable showcase of who’s who in our county. The experience of taking in the sights in ’09 created such a sense of community. It was such a delight seeing all the people absorbing the many and varied aspects of the festival. The Black VFD remains the guiding force behind the festival, with support from The Hanover Parks and Recreation Department, The Herald-Progress and The Mechanicsville Local (and we are so glad to be part of it!). As for the 2010 Tomato Festival, the hours will be 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. There is no admission fee. When this year’s festival wraps up, plans begin for 2011. We have an issue that must be handled (and the supervisors have done so for 2010), but what if attendance surpasses 2009 numbers? It’s an enviable dilemma. Melody Kinser

date to the early 18th century, when a frame church structure was shared with several other local congregations. The present brick church was constructed in 1853, largely due to the efforts of George Washington Bassett, grandnephew of Martha Custis Washington. The church is considered to be the best example of Gothic Revival architecture in the county, and it represents the revitalization of the Episcopal Church in Virginia and the United States during the two decades prior to the Civil War.

The Old Church Parish also has connections to actress Katharine Hepburn, whose grandfather, Sewell Hepburn, was rector of the church from 1881 to 1904. Home to an active and welcoming congregation, Immanuel Church is located at 3263 Old Church Road, in eastern Hanover County. ----Directions: From Mechanicsville, go east on 360 and turn right on 606 (Old Church Road) at West Store. Immanuel will be about 1.5 miles on the right. For more information, visit www.immanueloc.org or call 779-3454. Mechanicsville is a Christian community. We love our town and God loves us. Whoever’s idea it was to put these crosses up, I applaud them. I have seen crosses throughout other states and thought it was wonderful. Thank you very much to the people in charge of the Mechanicsville crosses. God bless you all. Arlene Vietmeier Mechanicsville

HOW TIME FLIES!

Presented by

Christine Smith Executive Director

There is a universal feeling among older adults that time seems to “fly by.” This sentiment runs across times and cultures worldwide and is largely unexplainable. However, many scientists theorize that much of this phenomenon stems from how people experience things for the first time. Think about that first kiss or that first day at school. When everything is new, we tend to take in every last detail. Then, we store this information as memory. Research shows that, as the brain stores these new memories, it uses more energy to do so. As a result, first memories are denser than subsequent memories of the same experience. In short, when something is new, it seems to last longer. When a loved one is unable to live alone and needs assistance with bathing or dressing, medication support or cooking, assisted living can improve their quality of life. Choosing an Assisted Living Community for your loved one is an important decision. At HERITAGE GREEN ASSISTED LIVING, our 52-bed fully secured community was specifically designed with our residents’ needs in mind. We provide individualized care and assistance in a homelike setting, while maintaining each resident’s maximum independence P.S. Of course, there is nothing preventing seniors from enjoying first-time experiences themselves, which may help cultivate a youthful outlook.

Several teachers and two students at Cold Harbor Elementary School have diabetes. In an effort to bring awareness, the school raised more than $1,500 for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF). The photo above shows some of the students who took part in the fundraiser. At right, Denise Capps, left, school nurse; is shown with Daniel Moore and Hailey Comptom, who are diabetic. They are shown presenting the check to Shea Seagle, JDRF representative.

The Foundation remains a global leader in driving type 1 diabetes science forward by funding more type 1 research than any other charity. JDRF directed nearly $101 million to such research in Fiscal Year 2009, bringing its total research funding to more than $1.4 billion since its founding in 1970. To ensure that it supports science with the greatest poten-

Dale Garrett, who recently celebrated his first “double-digit” birthday, asked his friends to provide donations to the Hanover Humane Society in lieu of gifts. In commemorating his 10th birthday, he wanted to show his love of animals Dale and his mother, Cindy, went to the Humane Society’s Web site and shared a list of needed items with his friends.Dale also asked that “Chip,” a former Hanover Humane Society pup, attend his birthday party so his friends could meet the animal.On March 20, “Chip” traveled to the Ozone in the Ashland Air Park and visited with Dale and his friends. While there, “Chip” was given refreshments and conducted a brief presentation for Dale and his friends to let them know about Hanover Humane. Dale then presented “Chip” with a vanload of donations, ranging from cleaning materials to food and toys.

Not cured by insulin While insulin injections or infusions allow a person with type 1 to stay alive, they do not cure diabetes, nor do they necessarily prevent the possibility of the disease’s devastating effects, which may include kidney failure, blindness, nerve damage, amputations, heart attack, stroke and pregnancy complications. Difficult to manage Despite paying rigorous attention to maintaining a meal plan and exercise regimen and always injecting the proper amount of insulin, people with type 1 diabetes face many other factors that can adversely affect efforts to tightly control blood sugar levels. These factors include stress, hormonal changes, periods of growth, physical activity, medications,

spur job creation and economic development. We increased the size of our job-creating Governor’s Opportunity Fund that is crucial to our efforts to land employers; increased funding for tourism, which brings in five dollars for every one dollar invested; and provided tax credits for green jobs and major businesses that add new workers. We also secured funding to open trade offices in India, China and Great Britain, helping to market Virginia products to the world. Second was our “Opportunity to Learn” education reform agenda, measures focused on creating more educational opportunities for public school students, particularly those who are at-risk and disadvantaged. The legislation expanded high quality charter schools and virtual schools and created innovative college laboratory schools with strong bipartisan support. Our education reform package garnered the support of the

Virginia Education Association and other education groups. Democratic delegate Rosalyn Dance was a co-sponsor of our charter school legislation, while Democratic Del. Jennifer McClellan served as a co-patron of our college laboratory bill. Some governors have very limited legislative agendas in their first sessions. We did not take that course. Instead we decided to promptly implement positive policy changes offered during the campaign. Our agenda consisted of 75 measures, and it achieved an 80 percent success rate. Among those measures: we raised the speed limit to 70mph on stretches of Virginia’s interstates; provided for new protections for victims of domestic violence; expanded the Sex Offender Registry and required residency verification; created “Gang Free Zones”; secured approval for money saving independent performance audits of state agencies; and we waived fees for veterans starting small businesses. No Virginian will soon forget the winter of 2010. I spent two of my first four Saturdays in

office at Virginia’s Emergency Operations Center, working with our dedicated firstresponders overseeing storm recovery efforts and helping to coordinate a multi-secretariat response. When the storms ended, I dispatched VDOT crews on a six-week-long “pothole blitz” in which they patched 150,000 potholes statewide. We also fulfilled the campaign promise to reopen the 19 rest stops shuttered by the prior administration within 90 days of taking office. This session, I wanted to ensure that Virginia will be the first state on the East Coast to produce oil and natural gas offshore. Environmentally safe energy exploration and development will mean thousands of jobs for Virginians and billions in economic impact. At my request the General Assembly approved offshore drilling policies and directed the substantial potential royalties and revenues to transportation and green energy projects. That legislation became even more important when, after substantial advo-

What type of resume do you have (Editor’s note: A series provided by the Hanover Business Council continues with Polly White, Senior Professional in Human Resources, a partner in the Richmond Performance Group, a management consulting firm specializing in strategy, process improvement and people. She can be contacted at pwhite@richmondperformancegroup.com.) 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 responsible resume. This resume style begins almost every bullet point with the words, “responsible for.” 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 “yes” pile 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.

fessionals and hiring managers are more concerned with what you accomplished than what tasks were listed on your job description. They want to know that if you “developed a marketing campaign” it increased sales leads by 15 percent.

cacy by our administration, the president announced that Virginia would be allowed to move forward with offshore energy production before any other East Coast state. Virginia is now poised to become a national leader in the energy field. Over our first 100 days, I’ve also had the opportunity to announce new jobs in Danville, Waynesboro, Southwest Virginia, and in Shenandoah, Frederick and Charlotte counties. We’ve appointed Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling to serve as Virginia’s first-ever chief jobs creation officer, and we appointed Virginia’s first-ever statewide prisoner re-entry coordinator. In March, the Commonwealth achieved only our third monthly increase in state revenues in the last two years, a trend I believe our job creation efforts will help continue. Our top priority is creating jobs, getting our economy back on track and creating a “Commonwealth of Opportunity”. My great desire is to ensure that all Virginians have the maximum opportunity to use their God given talents to pursue the American Dream. A few weeks ago, a candidate for governor of Maine sent out a fundraising letter in which he noted our work and wrote, “This is what Maine is up against. States like Virginia have a dramatically different attitude toward business, and they are thriving as a result. We can’t stand back and watch these kinds of jobs go to other states…” It was a high compliment for our administration. The work of our first 100 days is just a start. By advancing structured reform and positive ideas through bipartisan cooperation, we are positioning Virginia for a strong and prosperous future. Bob McDonnell is the 71st governor of the Commonwealth of Virginia. He can be e-mailed at Robert.F.McDonnell@governor.virginia.gov.

Chris Peace, who is also the Foundation’s executive director. “Polegreen is the cradle of religious freedom. I invite those people of faith to visit Polegreen and learn more about the first freedoms we enjoy as Americans” Peace said. Polegreen’s religious and civic history is rich. Patrick Henry, one of America’s most influential patriots and well known for his “Give me liberty or give me death” speech, acquired the gift of oratory at Polegreen from Rev. Samuel Davies. For 12 years, Henry’s mother Sarah took young Patrick to listen to Davies at Polegreen. Davies delivered his sermons with great conviction and often spoke of the freedom of conscience and individual liberty. After services, Henry would recite those sermons back to his mother on their way home to nearby Studley Plantation. Sarah’s dissent from the established church

was particularly noteworthy, considering that her brother-in-law and Henry’s namesake was the local Anglican minister. It was at Polegreen with his mother that Henry first imbibed the notions of self-determination and religious freedom. In 1775, Henry’s famous speech at St. John’s Church in Richmond, inspired colonists to seek independence from English rule. The Foundation recently unveiled a new marker program called the Road to Revolution Heritage Trail (www.roadtorevolution.org), honoring the life of Patrick Henry who attended church at Polegreen with his mother. ----In 1990, the Historic Polegreen Church Foundation began its work to preserve the site now marked by the well-known steel skeleton that outlines the original dimensions of the meetinghouse. Polegreen’s mission is to preserve the historic Polegreen Church site and commemorate the struggle for civil and religious freedom in Colonial Virginia by Rev. Samuel Davies and the Hanover Dissenters. ----For more information on Polegreen and National Day of Prayer, visit: www.historicpolegreen.org and http://nationaldayofprayer. org/.

‘A Doll’s House’ preview scheduled for Thursday Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com “A Doll’s House” by Henrik Ibsen will open on Friday, May 7, with a preview scheduled for Thursday, May 6, at the Pine Camp Cultural Arts Center at 4901 Old Brook Road in Richmond. All proceeds from the preview performance on May 6 will go to WCVE National Public Radio. Tickets are $10 for that show. Directed by Anna Senechal Johnson, the Henley Street Theatre Company production will be presented at 8 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, May 6-29. A matinee performance is scheduled for 2 p.m. Sunday, May 16. School performances will be presented at 10 a.m. Tuesday and Thursday, May 11, 13, 18 and 20. Tickets are $10 for the schools. This version of “A Doll’s House” is a new translation by Frank McGuinness and is the 1997 winner of four Tony Awards, including Best Revival.

“A Doll’s House” tells the story of Nora Helmer, a vibrant, young housewife who suffers from a crippling dependency on her husband. In order to save him from a dangerous debt and spare his pride, Nora arranges a loan without his knowledge by forging a signature. Through her actions, she wakes to feelings of self-awareness and in one of the most scandalous climaxes in all of 19th-century drama, Nora is forced to forge a new identity from the one she has always known. “A Doll’s House” features Jennie Meharg, Andrew C. Boothby, Jennifer Frank, John C. Moon, Freddy Kaufman, Jolene Carroll, Sean Williams and Jake Samet. Ticket prices are: $20 general admission; $15 for students, RAPT and City of Richmond employees (with a valid ID). Special group rates are available for parties of 10 or more. For more information on group rates, e-mail info@henleystreettheatre.org or call 340-0115.

Parents magazine names The Little Gym No. 1 birthday party destination Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Parents magazine has announced that The Little Gym has been named the No. 1 birthday party destination for children. While most parents are no longer planning expensive, over-the-top birthday bashes because of the effects of the economy, they still want to make sure their child has a fun and memorable celebration, according to Parents magazine. The publication surveyed birthday party packages offered by national chains to assess which offer the most entertaining, unique and personalized

The Mechanicsville Local

experience at an affordable price. “Our May issue is devoted to birthday parties and we wanted to find out which party chains not only throw fun birthdays that kids will love, but offer affordable packages that will make parents happy,” Dana Points, editor-inchief of Parents, said. “We examined more than 40 popular party spots to bring readers the 10 best ones.” While researching national birthday chains, Parents magazine looked at what each place provided with regards to fun, games and food, as well as extra incentives such as invitations, party ware and goody bag favor offerings. In addition, the availability of instructors, personalization level, and

May 5, 2010

party room size also were taken into consideration. “Our primary focus is building confidence in children by helping them develop physical skills. So it is even more exciting to be recognized for the creativity and imagination that we put into our weekend birthday parties,” Paul Dickison of The Little Gym International said. “There are several factors that we believe draw parents to our birthday parties,” Dickison said. “Our unique and proprietary music and curriculum are specially personalized to cater to each child’s age, gender and interests. And, unlike facilities where multiple parties occur at the same time, each

birthday booking reserves the entire facility.” The Little Gym locations, including those in the local community, make birthday parties a stress-free event for parents, as they take care of set-up and cleanup for the parties, provide party ware and even send out invitations to guests, “Our staff is well-trained to bring out the very best in children, which helps to make each birthday experience memorable and magical,” Dickison said. The first hour of the birthday party is spent in the gym engaged in ageappropriate instructor-led games and activities. The final half hour of the

celebration is spent in the gym’s special party room where children enjoy cake and drinks and open presents. The Little Gym provides drinks for the children, all paper goods, balloons for decoration and a list of opened gifts for thank you cards. The birthday child even gets a special The Little Gym T-shirt.

October 13, 2009 Dear Chad, I want to thank you and your staff for assisting me in the sale of my old home place. Considering the location and the age of the house, you were able to successfully sell it for me in a reasonable length of time. The real estate market at that time was low, yet you successfully found a pre-qualified buyer and everything went as smoothly and effortlessly as possible. Your staff was very professional and kept me apprised on a weekly basis of what had transpired in reference to the property. I could not have asked for a better business relationship than that which I had with you and your staff. Kudos to Seay Real Estate. Thanks for everything and you can be assured, if I ever need my present home sold, you will be the ONLY agent I would consider. Kindest personal regards to you and your staff. Sincerely, Margaret F. Daw Chad Seay

This Redskin is one big NASCAR fan Washington’s Kedric Golston hits the pits at RIR By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com NASCAR fans come in all sizes. Some are bigger than others. Others are 6-4, 300 big. During the NFL season, Washington Redskins defensive tackle Kedric Golston plays the game he loves. But for Golston, if there is another sport that ranks with football, it is NASCAR. At Richmond International Raceway for the Heath Calhoun 400 Saturday, Golston enjoyed the full fan experience, walking pit road and taking a pace car ride with retired Redskins

punter Derrick Frost. Golston admits he was a reluctant convert to NASCAR when he was introduced to the sport three years ago. “My brother was telling me about NASCAR and I was like, ‘Ah, I don’t really know about that,’” he said. Yet, Golston finally gave in to his brother’s request, coming to RIR for his first NASCAR race. “So, I made the mistake of coming and I’ve been hooked ever since,” he said. “It’s just a great sport. I enjoy it. It’s intense. Just everything you’d want in a sport.” Since that first race, Golston has been addicted. Because of the limitations placed on him as an NFL player and father, he spends a lot of time watching

television. “After I went to my first race, I’m (watching) on Friday. I’m watching practice. I’m watching SPEED Channel. I’m watching pre-race. I’m watching it all.” As a Redskin, Golston is used to seeing the action played out on large screens at FedEx Field, but he was really impressed with RIR’s new video/scoring tower. “I think we’re actually getting new screens at FedEx field and I think they’re going to be about the same size as that,” he said. “That’s an awesome tower. This is just an awesome facility. This is just a great track.” While some former college football players eventually make a move to the NASCAR pits, Golston was unsure if he was cut from the same cloth. see GOLSON, pg. 39 `

From Miss America’s crown to Junior’s cause The best of notes and quotes from NASCAR By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Earnhardt answers the call While NASCAR weekends at Richmond International Raceway are a time for fun, the huge fan following also makes them opportunities to promote noteworthy charities. On Saturday, NASCAR driver Dale Earnhardt Jr., Chevrolet and GM Military

Discounts announced that they have teamed up with teenagers Robbie and Brittany Bergquist to further promote Cell Phones for Soldiers. The charity got its humble beginnings in 2004 when then 12-and 13-year old Robbie and Brittany pooled $21 and started collecting gently used cell phones to be refurbished. From the sale of those phones, the pair bought pre-paid phone cards that are sent to soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. “We first heard a story about

a soldier who had an $8000 cell phone bill and we first wanted to pay off his cell phone bill,” Robbie said. “In the beginning it started with car washes and bake sales, it was really local. “From there, after his cell see NOTES, pg. 37 ` Photos by Kenny Moore

Atlee girls continue district domination Lady Raiders defeat Lee Davis, 2-0 By Jim Ridolphi sports@mechlocal.com On Friday evening, the Atlee girls’ soccer team continued their dominance over Capital District opponents with a 2-0 win over Lee-Davis. “I feel like the season is going well so far,” said Raider coach Bruce Lovelace. “We’re undefeated in the district and we play some tough teams.” Atlee’s only loss this season came at Douglas Freeman. Midway through the first half, Laura Beckler scored the Raiders’ first goal on a high bouncer that squirted in. “Laura had a good game for us today,” Lovelace said. The Lady Confederates came out aggressive in the second half and controlled play for the first 15 minutes but gradually lost that edge as the period progressed. “I think we got tired after so many missed opportunities in the first part of the half,” said Lee-Davis head coach Brad

phone bill was waived by TMobile, we got on the AP wire and that’s really where the United States found out about our program.” Brittany said the response from the military community has been outstanding. “We even received on email saying, our phone cards give them a little bit of heaven in the middle of a war.” To date, through cell phone recycling, monetary and corporate donations the charity has raised almost six million dollars to provide phone cards for soldiers. “You can’t believe something

Dalton. The Raiders added an insurance goal with about 13 minutes remaining in the game when Raiders’ sophomore Sam Armentrout found the net with a short shot from center goal. “I thought the entire team played well today,” Lovelace said. “Brittany Hill had a good game in goal. Laura Beckler played well, and Megan Stuck and Lindsay Grizzard played well today.” Lovelace said the backs carried the load for the Raiders. “All of our backs had good games today.” The young Confederates (3-3, 5-6) had their chances, but couldn’t close against the Raiders consistent defense. At keeper, Hill had nine saves for Atlee. On the other end of the field, the Confederates’ Megan Dover had 21 saves. “We’re a work in progress,” Dalton said. “We came out in the first half and let Atlee dictate and just hung on. We let them push on us but were able to hold them off.” Dalton said the team’s second half performance, at least

in the early minutes, shows him the C-feds are getting better with each outing. “At the start of the second half, we turned up the intensity and took it to them,” he said. “We did everything we could do for the first 20 minutes and then just wore down.” For Atlee, Lovelace feels his team is hitting their stride going in to the final stretch of the season. “We still have things we have to work on, but hopefully we’ll peak at the right time,” he said. Dalton’s goal is to make sure the C-feds are playing their best soccer at tournament time. “We need to win our remaining district games and I think that’s possible,” he said. “These girls play with a never quit attitude.”

so grass roots can go so far,” Earnhardt said. “It’s amazing what they’ve been able to do and it’s inspiring. “I hope that not only will they have continued success through this program, which I’m sure they will with Chevrolet’s help,” Earnhardt said, “but that it inspires other people to find ways to bring convenience to the soldiers overseas and returning home.” Drop boxes for used cell phones will be set up by the Chevrolet tent at every NASCAR race this season.

Just because I wear a crown doesn’t mean… For those who wonder what it’s like to walk around with a crown on your head, Miss America Caressa Cameron set the record straight. “Some days, when people don’t ask me who I am, sometimes you get those stares like, ‘Why is she just walking around with a crown?’” the senior at VCU said. “But then they find out she’s Miss America and they get real excited. “Sometimes it’s a little uncomfortable when I feel like I’m being a spectacle but it’s awesome when I meet a little girl and she sees me with a crown on and she’s like ‘Oh my gosh,’ and she just wants

to take a picture. Or someone who’s been watching the Miss America Pageant for years and never got the opportunity to get to meet me and have a conversation with them, it kind of makes it all worth while.” But Cameron pointed out that there are actually times when the crown comes off. “I don’t just gallivant the country wearing a crown,” she quipped when asked if she wears it to the grocery store, but then slyly added. “Anywhere I need to cut line, I just stick it on.” No. 3 to return to the track In honor of Dale Earnhardt going to the Hall of Fame, Dale Earnhardt Jr. will return the No. 3 car to the track in the Nationwide Series race at

Talladega this July. And because his father has become such an icon of NASCAR, Junior is certain the reaction to bringing the No. 3 back will be mixed. “Some will like it, some won’t like it,” he said. “I feel like it is appropriate and I think everybody knows that I’m pretty careful about all that kind of stuff.” Still, Junior admits that even he was a little hesitant to bring the No. 3 back to the track. “At first, I was uncomfortable about it initially, but the more I kind of see everybody together and the car itself and stuff like that, the more I get excited about it and the more I am happy about doing it. I wouldn’t want to do anything to upset anybody, the fans or anything like that. I feel

like I do a good job of staying within the guidelines of respect and taste regarding my father and what he accomplished and his fans and all that stuff. I feel like it will be okay. “It is probably uncomfortable for some people that have kind of a connection with him. Being his son, I feel like this makes me feel good to do it. It makes me feel good to go out there and honor him. I really try to be quiet about that kind of stuff. Since Earnhardt’s death at Daytona in 2001, NASCAR has not reissued the number, but Junior said the use of the No. 3 really does not matter to him. “I really don’t have an opinion,” he

Raiders romp, downing Lee-Davis 11-1 Atlee completes regular season sweep of C-feds By Dave Lawrence sports@mechlocal.com The top of Atlee’s batting order, left fielder Chop Pulisic and center fielder Cody Farrar, did what it should – get on base – against visiting Lee-Davis on Friday. In doing so, the pair helped the Raiders dramatically cement their claim for first place in the Capital District, leading Atlee to a regular season sweep of the C-feds with an 111 victory. In particular, Pulisic and Farrar began and ended a 9run eruption in the fifth inning that brought an early end to the game by the 10-run rule. In five innings, Farrar went 4for-4 with one RBI – the game winner – and one run scored. Pulisic walked his first time at the plate, went 3-for-3 with a double the rest of the game, knocked in three runs and scored on the Farrar single that ended the game. Both Atlee and Lee-Davis were tied for first place in district coming into the contest, but the Raiders moved ahead with a 5-1 Capital, 9-6 record.

The Confederates slipped to 42, 10-3. For Farrar, his output Friday came as something of a surprise. “I’ve struggled for most of the year,” Farrar said. “I mean I’ve done good enough – got the job done when I needed to – but tonight everything seemed to go my way and I just rode it all night. … The ball looked a lot bigger tonight. It was easier to see it. Everything I put out in play just seemed to get through somewhere.” Pulisic is the leadoff batter for the Raiders, and Farrar batted second. Farrar said they realized the importance of their place in the order. “I’ve always been told that 90 percent of the time, if the leadoff batter is on, he’s going to score,” Farrar said. “I know your two-hole batter has to move him over. I don’t hit two-hole batter a lot, but I knew my job and that’s all I was planning on doing tonight.” While Pulisic and Farrar accounted for seven of Atlee’s hits, they had plenty of offensive help in the 17-hit performance. Left fielder Kenner Berry had a two-run homer in the fifth

Lee-Davis catcher Will Connerley, left, stretches for the throw as Atlee’s Cody Farrar slides in safe at the plate. Farrar went 4-for-4, scored one run and hit the game-ending RBI in the bottom of the fifth, knocking out Lee-Davis 11-1 by the mercy rule.

inning, a double in the fourth, and scored another run in the second. Pitcher Austin Young had two hits, including a double, and scored one run; and catcher Mitch Keeler had two singles with one RBI and two runs scored. “Baseball’s a streaky game. They got on a streak there, and that was that,” said Lee-Davis coach Kenny Lewis. He also credited Young’s pitching with keeping his bats relatively silent. “Their kid on the mound, he was limiting what we were doing offensively.” Young held Lee-Davis to five hits in five innings, walking three and striking out five. Center fielder Brandon Angus was the only Confederate seemingly unfazed by Young’s pitching. Angus had two doubles in two appearances at the plate, and scored the Confederate’s only run.

Confederate errors – three in all – contributed to the Atlee streaks, however. In the second inning, for example, a two-out error on a grounder that would have ended the inning left the two runs on base that Pulisic later knocked in to give Atlee a 2-1 lead. A throwing error in the fifth inning helped keep Atlee’s nine-run outburst going. Nevertheless, Lee-Davis had some great defense, most notably the outfield had three assists. Right fielder Michael Thomas threw out Pulisic and Young at home and Berry at third. Angus gunned Atlee first baseman Conner Hall out at home as well. Catcher Will Connerley skillfully defended the plate – only one of his three tags was a foregone conclusion. Confederate starting pitcher Jordan Boze picked off three Raider runners. Those great – some arguably

spectacular – defensive plays could not contain the Raider juggernaut, however. “Eleven to one, you’re not going to sit here and quibble,” Lewis said. “You can’t say, ‘Hey, maybe this, maybe that.’ Eleven to one speaks for itself.” Farrar came up for the last time with the Raiders ahead 101. He was shocked – but happy – to end the game early on his RBI single. “Lee-Davis is a very good baseball program, and we were tied for first place in the district. I definitely didn’t expect the

10-run rule,” Farrar said. “Atlee hasn’t done this good in forever. I’ve played since I was a freshman and we’ve always been on the edge of being good, but we could never finish it. This year it seems it’s our year to do good.”

Others say that Martin is a man of skill who makes his own luck. What does Martin believe? “You know, meteorites do hit the Earth,” he said. “It would be unlucky if one hit you. Right? “You couldn’t say you make your own luck,” Martin continued. “There are certain things that you don’t have control over and you can call it what you want. But things that you don’t have control over, you don’t have control over. Sometimes a lot of those things get you and sometimes none of those things get you for good periods of time. So call it what you want.”

Since Earnhardt’s death at Daytona in 2001, NASCAR has not reissued the number, but Junior said the use of the No. 3 really does not matter to him. “I really don’t have an opinion,” he said. “I bet all of you probably think I do, but I don’t. If someone wants to run the No. 3, let them run the No. 3. Numbers are numbers. “I don’t think anyone is going to forget what Daddy did with it,” Junior added. “It is ridiculous to try to retire numbers or favor numbers for certain drivers. The No. 3 meant a lot to Daddy and meant a lot to a lot of race fans but there is some kid that is growing up that really was never a Dale Earnhardt fan but he drives the For more stories, notes and No. 3 and he might want to be the No. 3 all his life and to not photo galleries from NASCAR give that guy that opportunity weekend at RIR go to wwwlmechlocal.com. just isn’t fair.”

Hours: M-F 8a.m. to 5p.m. Sat. 8a.m. to 2p.m. Sun. Call for hours Fourteen years ago, May 9, 1996, the love of our lives was called home to be with her heavenly Father. Every day we miss those sweet words, “I love you,” that you spoke to everyone you met and especially to those at Liberty Christian Church and at the Hanover Workshop. God gave our family a great blessing, Robin, when he gave you to mom and dad and your sisters, Gayle and Reneé. We loved caring for you all of your 33 years and 7 months of life here on this earth and wish we could have continued to do so, but God knew best when He called you to your heavenly home. We miss your beautiful smile, your laughter, our fun times together and all of the sweet things you did – like putting your pennies in your big vinegar jug one at a time. Tears are shed every day for you and our hearts are forever broken. Robin, you were love wrapped up in skin and bones. We thank the Lord for giving you to us. Your love for Jesus and others, your caring and sharing with others, your very way of life, will always be remembered. Our memories of you will remain for as long as we live. Robin, you touched so many lives while here on earth. You will never be forgotten.

Love, Mom, Dad, Gayle & Reneé
