HABCC gets session update Senator, delegates talk about budget work and partisan politics By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com “The last 12, 16 months have been some of the most trying that I’ve experienced [as a member of the Virginia General Assembly].” That’s how Sen. Ryan T.
McDougle, R-4, opened his remarks last week at the Hanover Association of Businesses and Chamber of Commerce Breakfast Seminar. He was joined by Delegates John A. Cox, R-55, and Christopher K. Peace, R-97,
in updating members on the recent session. McDougle said legislators had just completed a session when they tackled redistricting. He previously was Hanover County’s lone senator. He now shares the responsibilities with
Senators Walter A. Stosch, R-12, and Sen. A. Donald McEachin, D- 9. He called the change “very substantive. Some of us were not very pleased how that process went about.” He said it was “very partisan, Democrat-con-

VFW honors lieutenant with Hanover Fire/EMS On April 12, Lt. Ladd Grindstaff was honored as the Veterans of Foreign WarsVirginia Firefighter Of The Year. He recently had been honored by the VFW Battlefield Post 9806 in Mechanicsville. When the local Post sent Ladd’s nomination to the state organization, he also received that honor. As the VFW officers acknowledged his duty and service, Ladd was presented with a commemorative plaque recognizing the Virginia Firefighter of the Year and a Letter Of Commendation from the VFW National Headquarters. An excerpt from the nomination submitted on Ladd’s behalf follows: “Lt. Grindstaff is serving Station 3, the Eastern Hanover Fire Company. Including his youthful contributions to the American Red Cross and the YMCA (in Ohio), Ladd has participated in public service and public safety since his early teens. “Every day, Ladd remains

focused on firefighter safety, training and fire service education, the brotherhood, and fire service traditions. Somewhat a self-appointed historian, Ladd has been called a fireman’s fireman. He constantly demonstrates a high regard for family, fire safety, outreach and public education. “Lt. Grindstaff harbors great pride in our contribution to the Hanover County Public
Schools Book Buddies program. He has a great awareness of the fire service business and industry, and is an excellent Instructor. Ladd also urges volunteering as a way to test the waters with fire service participation.” Information submitted by Cris Leonard, Hanover County Fire/EMS volunteer membership coordinator-public relations.

said legislators “look at close to 3,000 different issues.” He also said voters will be able to cast ballots regarding eminent domain in a Constitutional amendment in the Nov. 6 General Election. He said the amendment is about “protecting your property rights.” “We did some things that affected the economy and what we can do from the legislative side to help small businesses,” McDougle said. Technology and investment tax credits, “things that will actually spur jobs,” were among measures addressed. “Virginia has one of the lowest unemployment rates in the Southeast,” he added. According to McDougle, the No. 1 item they do as legislators is pass the budget. “We do that every two years.” This year, he continued, saw “the most inclusive [budget] document we’ve ever created on the Senate
side.” Citing partisan politics, McDougle said, “The legislative process that we’ve been through the last 16 months has been more political.” He did say that it had been a session “that has been more impressive. We’ve gotten more things done for the economy, how we do jobs, make decisions.” “We are part-time citizen legislators,” Cox told the group at Islamorada at Bass Pro Shops in Ashland. The “junior” member of the county delegation, Cox has been in the House of Delegates for three years. He termed the recent session as “contentious, certainly on the Senate side. We’re blessed that House Republicans control 68 of the 100 seats in the House of Delegates.” With the 20/20 split in the Senate, Cox said Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling can break a tie, but he cannot vote on judges and the budget. “Our main charge in what we call the long session – even
number years. It’s 60 days and our primary responsibility is to pass a budget. But not just a budget. Unlike what they do in Washington [D.C.], we’re required to pass a balanced budget. We did that without raising your taxes.” Cox talked about the “significant changes” the General Assembly made in the Virginia Retirement System. “We were very aware that we were not going to affect any of our current employees. Those new employees who come on after January 2013 will have to make their own contribution to their retirement, similar to what my employees do with their 401(k) plan at Cox Transportation.” “Small businesses drive our economy. That’s what’s going to bring jobs back to the Commonwealth,” he added. Peace continued Cox’s theme with partisan politics, saying, “Virginia works a lot better than the other side of the Potomac [River]. There is a brosee HABCC, pg. 8

Delegate steps up with wallet ready Even though he has been in office for three years, Del. John A. Cox, R55, is still kind of “the new kid on the block” in terms of Hanover County’s legislative delegation. On Tuesday, May 1, he joined Sen. Ryan T. McDougle, R-4, and Del. Christopher K. Peace, R-97, in updating members of the Hanover Association of Businesses and Chamber of Commerce on the recent session of the Virginia General Assembly. During his remarks, Cox offered what can only be described as a “you gotta love it” moment. Rather than support Gov. Bob McDonnell’s proposal to place tolls on Virginia highways, Cox, the successful owner/operator of Cox Transportation in Ashland, is ready to “bite the bullet.” In his case, he is willing to support a gas tax, which certainly would impact his business. He really stepped up and put himself out there in terms of here’s an elected official who will accept additional financial responsibility as a businessman instead of placing the burden on motorists traveling our state’s highways. When Cox asked fellow business leaders at last week’s gathering which plan they preferred, the majority agreed with him in supporting a gas tax. Reflecting on the overview offered by Cox, McDougle and Peace while heading to the office from Bass Pro Shops, where the monthly series is held, the first thought was “you gotta love it.” Yes, when an elected official is ready to take a hit on the wallet in his own business, that’s a memorable — and noteworthy — occasion. Kudos to Cox for stepping up. Speaking of the HABCC breakfast, had an opportunity to catch up with Henry District supervisor Sean Davis. The Hanover County Board of Supervisors has seen its fair share of challenges this year with budget struggles, but Davis, who took office in January, said the experience of serving the citizens is rewarding. Based on comments from the legislative delegation, he has become involved in that process for our county. Melody Kinser

To the red car that is always in a hurry To the red car on Williamsville Road that is always in a hurry in the morning and every other driver out there who doesn’t think the warning lights and stop signs on a school bus apply to them. No one likes to be stuck behind a school bus, especially in the morning when you are already running late for work. On a recent morning you cut it a little close, passing me as the passing zone ended after I turned on my yellow lights and a car coming from the other direction. I don’t know if the other car was distracted from what you did or chose to ignore my yellow warning lights also, but, if either of you left the road to keep from hitting each other, you would have hit my student. Imagine watching that scenario take place if it were your child getting on the bus. I start my route at the exact same time every morning and I always let you go around me when it’s safe. If you don’t want to get stuck behind me in the mornings, then leave two minutes earlier. If you hit a child, being two minutes late for work will be the least of your worries. Please drive safely.

Explaining leash law and reason for rule I would like to respond to the letter published on April 25, 2012, titled “County leash law incites Scout to respond to plan.” It’s really hard for me to know where to begin this letter because it is obvious Bradley doesn’t know what a leash is for and the reason for this law. Personally, I think anytime your animal is not on the boundaries of your property it should be leashed. Now hunting dogs is a totally different subject and I will not get into that. First, leashes are meant to keep your animal and others safe when not in the comforts of its home. Second, they are used as a tool for training. Bradley states “he strongly disagrees with this punishment and the fee because of how often our dogs manage to dig out of the yard, jump the fence and other ways they manage to get out,” so I am assuming his dogs do this since he used “our”
in the sentence. Now let me state that I am no Cesar Milan, but do know a little bit about dogs and Bradley should check out Cesar’s shows. If he does, he will learn that problems with dogs are 90 percent the owners’ fault. If your dog is digging, jumping and escaping your boundaries, it’s because you have not trained them properly and are not supervising them. Dogs are like children — you just can’t put them out in the yard and leave them to themselves. After all, “they do have feelings” and don’t like to be left alone as they do get bored and into trouble when left alone, like children. People need to educate themselves when getting a dog and get one that is breed specific to what they need instead of what they want. You shouldn’t get a Husky if all you are going to do is have him sit around the house and take him out from time to time. The dog isn’t bred for that. They are meant to run for hours on end and are very active. Put this dog in a couch potato setting and you’re going to have a problem with the dog. Now when you have a problem with your dog and your dog escapes it is your fault. You as a dog owner are responsible for your dog. Most respectable owners will have a collar on with an identification tag. Most people who find your dog running at large will call you to try to return the dog to you. Many dogs don’t even have identification on, and even fewer are micro chipped. If it doesn’t have any identification on, then you have no choice but to call Animal Control to have the dog taken to the pound. Animal Control will check the dog for identification and scan it for a microchip (so even if the dog has lost its see LETTERS, pg. 13

Allgaier selected Hanover FFA student Hunter Belfield’s drawing out of several submissions from Richmondarea schools, because he said it illustrated the essentialness of feeding the world through soil and produce like
corn. Belfield summarized the theme of the contest by adding the text, “If it’s not growing, we’re not eating” to the side of his car design. In addition to the classroom visit

He also said that receiving the Distinguished Unit Award means more respect for the NJROTC program at LeeDavis. “We’ll get to go off to different competitions and people will know that Lee-Davis is one of the top schools in Area 5,” Tyler said. Senior Terry Hewell, also 18, is the commanding officer for the Lee-Davis unit. He said there are about 100 students in grades 9 through 12 in the program. Hewell said receiving the Distinguished Unit Award will earn the program more respect among the Lee-Davis student body.

A 30-year Navy veteran, Lawrence commutes to LeeDavis every day from his home in Chesapeake. The drive is worth it, Lawrence said, because he enjoys working with the cadets and watching them progress. Some of the students come back to visit after they graduate and talk about how being in the NJROTC helps them in their lives, Lawrence said. When NJROTC units are inspected by Navy officers, they’re held to the same standards as enlisted personnel, Lawrence said. “The way you can tell that if it’s a sharp, good unit is by appearance,” Lawrence said. “If they’re squared away in uniform, then they know that

The program was recognized as the most improved unit in Area 5 last year and also was designated as the fifthmost improved unit nationally among all ROTC units, Rogers said. The program received the Unit Achievement Award last year as well, Rogers said. “This year we went one step higher and won Distinguished Unit, which is a really big deal from where we were two years ago almost being shut down . . .,” Rogers said. Rogers said this year’s achievement is a testament to the cadets’ hard work, community support and the leadership of Master Chief Calvin Lawrence, who helped start the NJROTC program at Lee-Davis 12 years ago.

The NJROTC unit used to be known to Lee-Davis students as the guys who wear uniforms, Hewell said. “Now it’s like, ‘Hey, they win and they’re very successful [in] what they do,’ ” Hewell said. “So everyone’s starting to respect you more, more and more.” The award helps to solidify the status of the NJROTC program at Lee-Davis, Rogers said. “I think it’s great for the students, because, when I got here two years ago, we were in jeopardy of being shut down,” Rogers said. The program was placed on probation, but rallied with support from parents and the community, who petitioned the Hanover County School Board to keep the program alive, Rogers said.

If you don’t claim your dog in the stray hold time it gets killed unless it passes temperament testing and they have space to put the dog up for adoption and then it has a chance to find a new home. After all, it’s not the dog’s fault he or she escaped; it’s the owners fault.
When your dog is running loose, you have not been a responsible dog owner. Your dog should be safe and well cared for at all times. Sure, most of the time they do find their way home but who’s to say what happens in that “48 hours.� It could get hit by a car
discipline or morale or anything.� Rogers said the Lee-Davis unit will receive a pennant for its award and each cadet will receive a ribbon to attach to their uniform. “A lot of people died for this uniform, so that is why it is important that we teach the cadets to wear the uniform properly, because, when they’re out in town, out in the community, folks don’t know whether they’re active duty or whether they’re cadets,� Rogers said. “So it really is important that [we] teach, train and develop them
to wear the uniform the right way, to respect the uniform, to respect the individual that died for that uniform.� In his mind, Hewell said, the Lee-Davis NJROTC unit has carried itself well and this year’s honor is symbolic of that. “I would just like to add that I could not be more proud of the cadets,� said Hewell, who’s headed to the U.S. Marine Corps. “I’m just glad that they get something to show that their hard work paid off and that putting in true hard work and putting in all the hours was truly worth something.�

These are Before & After photos of a young woman who took charge and applied herself in this program. “I lost a total of 40 lbs. and 10 inches off my waist in a mere 50 days and I am still losing! My mood is better, I sleep through the night and my digestive system is balanced for the first time in Before After years! My entire experience with Skinny Richmond has been one never to forget. The staff is amazing and the doctors are extremely personable! I can never thank them enough for helping me get my life on a healthier track!� -J. Stephenson Dr. deBarros D.C. is looking for at least 100 people in this area who are interested in losing up to 15 pounds or more — over the next 30 days by way of a doctor-monitored Cleansing Program. Dr. deBarros D.C. has helped countless patients to regain their health and vitality through this unique program. Dr. deBarros, told us, “Your body holds dangerous toxins in your fat tissue as a way of diluting and neutralizing the toxins. This process helps keep toxins away from your vital organs. If you gently REMOVE these toxins with this specific cleans-ing program, your body will no longer need to STORE the and therefore — you turn your body into a ‘fat burning’ machine and lose weight.� The key to weight loss success is eliminating toxins. When you see how quickly people are able to lose weight, you’ll want to tell all your friends. While there are NO Guarantees that everyone will get the exact same results, the average weight loss according to Dr. deBarros is about 7 pounds per person, per week.

HABCC Breakfast Series
Melody Kinser/The Local
The Hanover Association of Businesses and Chamber of Commerce’s Breakfast Series on Tuesday, May 1, featured an update of the recent session of the Virginia General Assembly by Sen. Ryan T. McDougle, R-4; Del. John A. Cox, R-55; and Del. Christopher K. Peace, R-97. The monthly event, held at Islamorada at Bass Pro Shops, is sponsored by Village Bank.
Weekend Emergency
Spirit of Volunteerism honors county’s elite Every year, Hanover County recognizes a number of its most outstanding volunteers at its “Spirit of Volunteerism” celebration. The 2012 celebration was held on Tuesday, May 1, at Hanover High School. Volunteers were judged in the following categories: “Spirit of Youth;” “Spirit of Dedication;” “Spirit of Family;” “Spirit of Team;” “Spirit of One;” and a new category, “Spirit of Inspiration.” Judges selected the following volunteers for a 2012 “Spirit of Volunteerism” award: The Three Rivers Livestock Club won the “Spirit of Youth” award. A 4-H Club for ages 9-18, much of its work involves sharing information on the impact of agriculture within our lives. For example, these young people created an enticing “Book Barn” Learning Center that they donated to Mechanicsville Elementary School. The Barn shelves include 27 books from which young readers can learn about cows, corn, pigs and more. The group also raised enough funds to purchase and donate a copy of “Ready, Set, Grow” (an elementary-age book on Virginia

Owens & Minor was the sponsor of this year’s “Spirit of Youth” award and the company presented a check to Hanover Arc. With this money, Hanover Arc will award one child with a scholarship for a season of riding lessons. Jean Ray received the “Spirit of Dedication” award – given to a volunteer aged 60 or older – for her volunteer service beautifying Pole Green Elementary School. An accredited Flower Show judge and a member of two garden clubs, Jean travels and judges garden club floral design and horticulture presentations throughout Virginia. While leading a children’s program at the Mechanicsville Branch Library, she spoke with mothers of students attending Pole Green Elementary School and decided to contact the principal about a possible service project.

and killed if not to mention the damage it could do to the person’s car if it is a big dog and people can obviously get hurt in the accident too if they try to miss it. It’s a sad sight to see a dog on the side of the road killed by a car. Also, it can get attacked by another animal or bite a person just because they were trying to help them. Another thing, Animal Control doesn’t really have time just to ride around just looking for stray dogs to pick up, usually it’s because it doesn’t have ID, just won’t go away, or is becoming a problem for a person on their property. To be honest. I have dogs in my neighborhood but I don’t want them running around my yard digging around barking all day and night and messing in my yard. This is just bad ownership. Not to mention I have three of my own I have to clean up after. I would like to also clarify something. Most stray dogs are lost house pets. Usually strays come about because bad owners who for whatever reason no longer want the animal and think it is okay to just drop it off at someone else’s area. You would be surprised how often this happens with animals. Don’t just assume that just because they belong to somebody they have a rabies shot. You would be surprised at how many owners do not have rabies shots or heart-worm preventative done. Just because the dog is a house pet don’t assume that it’s friendly and not aggressive. Again, watch Cesar. If not for these type of dogs, he wouldn’t be in business and have a TV show making millions of dollars. If cornered, a friendly dog can become aggressive just because they don’t understand what is going on and mostly act out of fear. Yes, dogs can be trained to
be off leash and behave very well and stay on their property, but, to be honest, most people do not do this. Some people look at dogs as a possession and not a loyal, friendly pet. Again, if you have a dog that digs, jumps a fence or does not stay on your property, you are not training your dog properly. Now some dogs take a lot longer to be trained to not dig and jump a fence. Most dogs dig and bark constantly when they are bored and have nothing else to do. So the dog has likely been left outside like a yard ornament, not a family member. One of my dogs is a Shepherd mix and she can scale my 8-foot-high dog pen. It has taken me five years before I could trust her off-leash in the pen, because, before I got her, she was stray for three years before Animal Control could catch her. She learned to climb when she was stray, as she did this in order to survive on the streets. She had to get into dumpsters to find food. I still do not leave her unsupervised, because what if she did and I wasn’t there. Then she would become stray again, and, if something happens to her, it would be my fault. And, on top of that, my wife would kill me, because this dog is the love of her life. Bottom line is: Be a good animal owner. Train it and do what’s right for your animal. Leashing an animal does not mean it is suffering. Trained properly, they are just as happy as being off-leash. If you can train your dog to stay in your boundaries offleash and come to you on command and with hand signals regardless of what is going on around them, then that would be awesome, but it takes a lot of intense training to accomplish that.

Vet thanked for helping ailing dog On April 11, 2012, I had to put my precious Kelly to sleep. I noticed for several weeks she was not the same, but I thought it was because she was getting old. I took her Feb. 29 to get her teeth cleaned and the vet had to pull three of them. If he had just checked her blood sugar, then it might not have been too late, but, after that, she just kept getting worse. She could hardly walk, so I took her urine to Mechanicsville Animal Hospital. And when Dr. Kilgore tested it, he called and said he needed to get a blood test, so I took her up there to get the blood test and she had diabetes. He said we could try her on insulin, but she would need two shots a day plus two tests a month, and he couldn’t guarantee me it would work. For my own selfish reasons, I wanted to keep her but she had see LETTERS, pg. 17

For normal driving conditions, simply insert the penny into your tires with Lincoln pointing toward you and upside down. Insert the penny with Lincoln’s head pointed toward the tire. Then take the penny and stick it in several tread grooves on your tires. If part of Lincoln’s head is always covered, then you have at least 2/32” tread wear left. Most state laws deem your tires to be worn out if the tread is less than 2/32”. For more extreme weather conditions, like driving in rain, ice or snow, you will want to turn your penny around so that the Lincoln Memorial is facing you and is upside down. If your tread covers the top of the Memorial, then you’ve got at least 6/32” tread wear left. If it does not, then it’s time to get new tires before making another trip out in these conditions.

Working to solve the Challenge analogies helps students learn to think both analytically and metaphorically. Though most vocabularyboosting and analogy-solving activities have been created for high school students, the WordMasters materials have been specifically designed for younger students, in grades three through eight. They are particularly well suited for able and interested children, who rise to the challenge of learning
new words and enjoy logical puzzles posed by analogies. WordMasters Challenge has been administered for the past 25 years by a company based in Allendale, N.J., which is dedicated to inspiring high achievement in American schools. The students will participate in one more WordMasters meet in the coming months, and medals and certificates will be awarded in June to those who achieved and/or improved the most in the course of the year.

for Humanity home. Hanover Habitat will use the donation from the category’s sponsor, Battlefield Press, to help build its 41st house. There were two “Spirit of One” winners, Sue Dibble and Sharon M. Stiles. For the past three years, Sue Dibble has served as the president and later the vice president of the Elmont Elementary School PTA, as well as leading other events and projects for the school. Many of the ideas initiated by Sue have brought a feeling of “community belonging” and “family” back to the school and has raised PTA involvement, as well as parent and student participation. Acting as a visionary and bringing her business mind to the needs of the school has led
to extraordinary accomplishments which include beautifying school grounds and the creation of a learning garden. The school will soon be breaking ground on the construction of an outdoor classroom with a stamped concrete floor and raised stone seating walls to accommodate up to four classes. Sharon is involved in the YMCA Bright Beginnings program, Henry Clay Elementary School’s Roots & Shoots, Gandy Elementary School’s Book Fair and the Ashland Garden Club, just to name a few of her many passions. For six years, she has been on the Board of Directors for the Hanover Arts & Activities Center and is serving her second term as president. Under her leadership, the center has undergone an extremely detailed strategic planning process. Sharon has supported and
ensured that community events such as the July 4th parade, the Railroad Run and the Ashland Variety Show continue. She has spearheaded partnerships with other organizations to host Black History events and many others. The category’s sponsor, Rappahannock Electric, presented donations to Elmont Elementary School’s FUNDATIONS program and to The Hanover Arts & Activities Center. J. Franklin Jones Jr. received the “Spirit of Inspiration” award. This award honors an individual who has volunteered for 20 years or more within a specific organization. Franklin has been providing valuable service to the community and to various organizations for decades. He has been a member of the Doswell Ruritan Club for 50 years and has served as offi-
cer in every capacity, including president several times, as well as having perfect attendance for the entire half-century. He has been the driving force in coordinating club activities and fundraisers to support community service efforts, including scholarships to high school seniors, donations to nonprofits and providing food and gifts to families through Hanover’s Christmas Mother Program. Franklin has been instrumental to the Christmas Mother program since the club took it on in 1988. He also serves as treasurer of the Doswell Community Center Foundation. He keeps the books, takes charge of all the maintenance and rentals, as well as organizing and cooking salt fish breakfasts. Franklin provides transportation using a handicapped van to connect those in need with commu-
nity services. The donation of the category’s sponsor, Grace Community Presbyterian Church, will provide needed items for families served by the 2012 Hanover Christmas Mother program. Ferber’s Tire and Auto Service received the “Commitment to Community” Award. This category honors a Hanover business that exemplifies strong community values and a sustained commitment to supporting the community. Ferber’s Tire & Auto Service is a locally owned business that provides financial support to various local organizations, including Miss Mechanicsville, Dynamo Soccer, Hanover Hawkeye Wrestling, the Hanover Christmas Mother Program, Pearson’s Corner Elementary School and Kersey Creek Elementary School.
Ferber’s has been the business partner for Kersey Creek for three years and has been a business partner, as well as the primary sponsor for Pearson’s Corner for its last two fall festivals. Ferber’s sponsorship for the festivals has resulted in raising more funds in the last two years than ever before. Because of this success, the school is nearly 100 percent outfitted with current technology in every classroom. In addition to supporting the Christmas Mother program, Ferber’s assisted one of the families by repairing their car. Sponsors for this year’s awards were Owens & Minor, Covenant Woods, Ashland Walmart, Battlefield Press see SPIRIT, pg. 23

Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Atlee High School’s Raider Players will present “Man of La Mancha” at 7 p.m. today through Saturday (May 9-12). Written by Dale Wasserman, the production features music by Mitch Leigh and lyrics by Joe Darion. Under the direction of Charles A. Wax, “Man of La Mancha” is being performed with alternating casts for soloists. The play is set in a late 16th century Spanish prison following the trial of Miguel de Cervantes. The prison shifts into various places in Cervantes’
imagination as he tells the jury the adventures of Don Quixote de La Mancha. Featured in the production are two primary casts and members of the Atlee Raider Players. “After years of lighthearted fun, with ‘Wizard of Oz’ and ‘Anything Goes,’ the Raider Players are grateful for a chance to delve into the deep emotion and drama of ‘Man of La Mancha,” Wax said. “Personally, I see this as some of the best work we have done yet.” Natan Berenshteyn is the choral director. The shows will be presented in the Atlee High School auditorium. Tickets are $5 for adults and $4 for students and are sold at the door.

Grant targets young alcohol-impaired drivers Hanover County’s I CARE recently received a Strategic Prevention Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF-SIG). The grant was awarded to 13 localities across Virginia with the purpose of reducing motor vehicle crashes involving drivers between 15 and 24 years of age who are under the influence of alcohol. The grantees were localities that demonstrated high per capita rates of motor vehicle crashes involving alcohol-impaired drivers 15 to 24 years of age based on per capita crash data for the period 2006-2008. mental agencies, and members of the general public. Among the persons in attendance were members of Hanover County Animal Control, Hanover County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office, Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office, Ashland Police Department, and the Hanover Humane Society.
The mean annual Virginia rate for that period was 32 crashes per 10,000 people. Hanover County’s rate was 41.2 crashes for every 10,000 county residents, or a rate 29 percent higher than the state average. Hanover County had 174 motor vehicle crashes in this particular category over that period, or 1.7 percent of the state total. Only 13 counties had a higher percentage of the state total. In its grant application, I CARE was able to demonstrate a strong ability to affect change with see GRANT, pg. 30

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com On Thursday afternoon, the Hanover boy’s tennis team accomplished a feat unheard of in the history of the program. With a 9-0 sweep of Highland
Springs, the Hawks, ranked #9 in last week’s Times-Dispatch poll, capped the school’s first perfect regular season (16-0). In doing so the team also claimed the Capital District regular season title with an unblemished
14-0 record. “It’s a good feeling to be undefeated,” said junior Logan Healy. His older brother Connor echoed the statement. “Basically I’m speechless,” he said. “This is
the greatest year ever.” After taking second place in the Capital district tournament last season and returning every player, Connor Healy thought this year’s squad had the potential to accomplish something
special. “Last year I saw us having a chance at it,” he said. “But ultimately I never would have guessed.” Coach Aaron Bradley saw the potential as well but vision
and outcome do not always go hand-in-hand, therefore he was proud to see his team carry through as expected. “It’s good to see the guys live up to their

VHSL rejects pitching rule Proposal would have put stricter limitations on high school hurlers By Eric Kolenich Media General News Services The Virginia High School League executive committee voted 24-0 Thursday to reject a proposal that would have put stricter limitations on how much a high school pitcher can throw. The sports medicine committee, a group of doctors and VHSL representatives, is expected to review the issue during the summer.
TENNIS Continued from pg. 33 b
potential because we knew they had the ability and they carried it through in realizing that potential and getting it done,” he said. Senior Taylor Napier (#6), junior Connor Healy (#2) and sophomore Lanning Blaser (#5) each notched a perfect 14-0 record in district singles play this season. The remaining starters are all sophomores. Logan Healy (#3) went 13-1, Danny Polk (#1) 12-2 and James Pollard (#4) finished 113 in league play. Polk and Logan Healy were a perfect 14-0 in doubles. As a four year starter, Napier saw the regular season as a defining moment in a turnaround career. “My freshman year, we were fourth in the district to my senior year we’re undefeated all year,” he said. “It’s a great feeling my senior year to do this.” Polk, for one, will be sad to see Napier graduate. “Taylor’s kind of the reason I played high school tennis,” he said. Polk played baseball but Napier convinced him to come out for the tennis team.

Under the current rule, a pitcher may throw up to 10 innings in any two consecutive days. The proposed regulations, however, are far more complicated than a simple limit on innings. The rejected system includes provisions for the number of days rest a pitcher would need depending on how many innings he pitches. For example, if a pitcher throws six or seven innings in one day, he would need three days of rest before pitching again. If he threw eight or nine innings, he would require four days.
Bob Stratton, the athletic director at Hanover High School and a former baseball coach at Atlee and Mills Godwin, said the proposed rule takes away from the strategy of the game. If a pitcher throws six innings, but has a low pitch count, he may only need two days of rest. His coach may want to bring him back after two days to throw only one inning. Another issue with the
Last year as a freshman, Polk was the Hawks’ top player. When the season ended, he knew what he needed to do in order to help the team reach its potential this year. One of those tasks was learning to handle the pressure of being the #1 player on a team with unlimited possibilities. “I played a lot over the summer and got my ranking up so I dealt with pressure situations,” he said. The Hawks’ closest match of the year came last Tuesday when they traveled to Henrico. On March, 29, Hanover beat the Warriors for the first time since 2009 when their streak of four consecutive Capital District titles had come to an end. Pollard felt the team realized they could accomplish something special with that first win but beating the Warriors a second time around on their home courts would not come easy. “It was really tight, it came down to doubles,” Napier said. After singles play the score was split 3-3. When Connor Healy and Napier lost their doubles match at #1, Henrico was on the verge of handing Hanover its only loss of the regular season. But Polk and Logan Healy rallied for an
8-6 win at #2 doubles and the #3 doubles team of Pollard-Blaser sealed the victory 8-4. Bigger than this year’s accomplishments is that fact that this could be only the start of great things to come. Even though the Hawks lose Napier after this season, Connor Healy is the lone junior. Every other player is a sophomore or younger. “It’s kind of exciting because that means for the next two years we’re going to be very good too,” Blaser said. With a major milestone behind them, there appears to be little chance of the Hawks losing momentum as they head into the post season. “I don’t think it will be because we’re a pretty solid team all the way around, from one down to six and all through doubles,” Napier said. “I think we’ve had some momentum going all year and I don’t think it will run out too quickly.” Likewise, for the first time in years, the Hawks can set their sights beyond winning the district tournament. “There’s a lot of potential in the group,” Bradley said. “They have it in their minds that going to regionals they expect to win
The Mechanicsville Local May 9, 2012
proposal is that a pitcher who throws 50 pitches in five innings would have to rest longer than one who throws 70 in three innings. That has led some to believe that the rule should be based on pitch count, not innings. Others think the administrative burden of keeping track of the pitch count for every pitcher would be too great. “If they go to pitch count, how are they going to regulate
it?” Cosby coach Tim Lowery said. “I’m not in favor of pitch count. I would have rather seen this legislation passed.” Lowery added that when deciding how much to use a young pitcher, common sense has to prevail, and that every pitcher has a different level of tolerance. The VISAA, which governs private school athletics in the state, does not have a policy limiting pitchers. Rick Fuhrmann, the parent of a high school baseball player in Loudoun County, says the rejected proposal didn’t go far
enough. He advocates a more strict limitation per game, more days rest between appearances and varying rules depending on the pitcher’s age. “I think it endangers,” Fuhrmann said of the proposal. Fuhrmann urged the VHSL to align its policy closer to that of USA Baseball, which allows a 17-year-old pitcher 105 pitches per game, which equals seven innings on an average of 15 pitches per inning. Younger pitchers are allowed less. Under the rejected VSHL policy, a pitcher can go nine innings. Under the current rule, see PITCHING, pg. 37 `

Federated makes a move in NASCAR Auto parts distributor takes on race entitlement in Richmond By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com After 16 years in NASCAR, Virginia based Federated Auto Parts is making a move to the top of the sport. On Wednesday, Richmond International Raceway announced that Federated agreed to a three-year contract to take on the naming rights for the September Sprint Cup race at the track. The Federated Auto Parts 400 will be the title of the Last Race to Make the Chase on Sept. 8, which has become one of the most highly anticipated events of the NASCAR season. Federated Auto Parts began business in Virginia but has since spread to every state in the union as well as Mexico and PuertoRico. Their corporate offices remain in Staunton therefore, RIR was the most appropriate home track for them to support. “Basically, we started our involvement in NASCAR and sponsorship events in 1996 at the old Fairground track in Nashville,” said Federated CEO Rusty Bishop. “We were

the longest running sponsor in Nashville until they closed the event.” Though Federated has been involved in multiple levels of NASCAR ranging from Nationwide entitlement to team sponsorship, they wanted to make a local connection. “We were looking for a good location to be our cornerstone
venue for motorsports and we were lucky to find one that worked with our time schedule and our membership right here in our home state,” Bishop said. The fall race at RIR will mark Federated’s first venture into Sprint Cup race sponsorship. Always looking to properly align sponsorship and vacancies, RIR President Dennis Bickmeier
believes Federated is a perfect fit. “For a couple of reasons,” he said. “A- They’ve been in the sport for a while. B- They’ve been in Richmond for a while. I think this is one of those great success stories where they started at the level of hospitality then grew their relationship, here now, really grown their relationship to a whole another level.”
Not only is it good for RIR to get race sponsorship so early in the year but the three-year agreement is an added sign of an economical turnaround for NASCAR in general. “I think it’s a good sign of investments in our sport whether it’s a company that’s been involved for a while or a new company,” Bickmeier said. “Knowing we have a partner for a couple of years, it allows us to focus on some other things too,” Bickmeier said. “We’re trying to sell more sponsorships and these deals are taking longer to put together. To know that we have somebody and they’ve a Virginia based company- I can’t stress that enough, what that means to us.” As a further economic boon, Federated will bring in 1200 people from across the country for race weekend. “I heard Rusty say they’re bringing a lot of people from out of town that will get to come and experience the Greater Richmond area and that’s a plus too,” Bickmeier said. “A lot of fans and a lot of their customers here- Then those customers are going to get to enjoy the raceway and other things in Richmond. I think that’s a benefit too.”
Also on hand for the announcement was veteran NASCAR driver Ken Schrader, who has been associated with Federated for over a decade. “We continue to do more and more each year,” Schrader said. “Part of it this year is we’re running the nine Cup races under the Federated colors along with short track racing throughout the country and some ARCA races.” Though a native of Missouri, Schrader considers RIR his home track. It is where he spent his early years working with NASCAR legend Junie Dunlevy. “A lot smaller, narrower race track with steel guard rails that would bite you,” Schrader said. “I stayed up here a lot and just got a lot of good memories. “One of the neatest things, when we left here in ’88 and they had the bulldozer fired and I said, ‘Oh man this is going to be a mess when we come back,’” Schrader said. “When we drove through that tunnel- the place wasn’t even near done, but it was beautiful. Quite the vision and the accomplishment.” Schrader will drive Frank Stoddard’s FAS Lane car in the Federated Auto Parts 400 in September.
Seniors take final walk at R-MC Photos by Charlie Leffler
Former Lee-Davis standouts Jordan Walton, left, and Matt Musser, right, made their final walk to home plate with their families on Saturday as Randolph-Macon hosted York, Pa. in their 2012 season finale. The two seniors were honored in a pregame ceremony but the visiting Spartans threw a wet blanket on the celebration. After trailing R-MC 3-0 through five innings, York tied up the contest in the sixth and seventh then scored four runs in the eighth to pull out a 7-5 win. The second game of the double-header was rained out. The Yellow Jackets stranded 12 runners on base in the game.

Undefeated Raiders down Warriors, 1-0 Boys soccer maintains hold on district in lightning shortened game By JP Beauchamp sports@mechlocal.com On a night threatening lightening and rain, which cut the contest short two and half minutes into the second period, the undefeated Atlee boys soccer team (8-0-1, 8-0 Capital) hosted Henrico (6-6-1, 4-4-1) and again came away with victory, though it took some doing. The Raiders’ characteristic dominance on the field was displayed in the close contest, as Atlee’s secondary and offense was assertive with the ball and for the most part kept it in Henrico territory. “I think we’ve moved the ball around pretty well; lots of touches and lots of opportunities; and everybody’s doing great,” said Atlee freshman forward Brad Robertson. “We just need to keep it up.” Henrico Coach Scott Sherill confirmed the Raiders’ dominance. “For the first half, we were outplayed with the simple easy passes and the kind of ball control game that Atlee is traditionally good at,” he said. “We were a little lax on our defensive assignments with that. So, that was our big focus to correct a little bit and stay with the runners instead of chasing the ball, which is always a disaster when you play against these guys who like to pass it around and are good at that.” Among the Raider’s launching the attack was junior midfielder Alex Maimone, who consistently found inroads and provided some impressive shots on goal (one inside the box). “[Maimone] was open more than he should have been a lot in the game and is arguably their strongest player, or at least one of their better offensive threats,” Sherill said. “We were trying to funnel towards the
36
middle instead of staying with those marks. The key with the way Atlee plays it doesn’t matter who you leave open, if you leave somebody open, they’re going to find them. That’s good soccer they’ve been playing.” Atlee Coach Steve Thompson noted Henrico’s goal to keep play in the middle. “[The midfield] is a little messy,” he said. “I think they’re running five through the midfield which is just making it a big traffic jam; so it’s not easy just to make those clean little touches that we’re used to making.” Part of the imbalance derived from the face that Henrico’s midfield was not composed enough to launch any kind of systematic attack on Raider defenders…which accounted for Henrico’s one shot on goal to Atlee’s 10. But where Henrico lacked in the secondary, the defense closed up and made it difficult for the Raiders to execute in scoring. “Henrico is very defensive minded, so they’re strong there,” Thompson said. “They’re just hard to break down and they’re going to give you a 100 percent effort every single time out. So, it’s not something where it’s going to come easy. You’re going to have to go through the entire 80 minutes. And their goal keeper, he has made save after save tonight. But defensively, they’re very sound and that’s led by their keeper which I give him credit for. He’s very, very good.” Were it not for the impressive defensive skills of Henrico keeper Mark Davis the Raiders would have created a lopsided
score. Davis made remarkable saves with Atlee getting more than 10 shots on goal in the first half alone but coming away with one score. Part of Davis’ success came from his continuous rallying of the backfield to engage the Raider offense as they came in and were setting up plays. Though, Henrico’s defense was stalwart in defending their goal, Atlee remained composed and kept chipping away. “We’re very patient,” Thompson said. “We have like a confident patience about us. We don’t get rattled. We just keep plugging… so, it’s a good thing.” With nine minutes left in the first period, Maimone persistence paid off as he assisted Robertson in making his first goal of the season. With Davis pulled out of the Henrico box from Maimone’s action, Robertson lobbed it in from about 20 meters out, over the keeper’s head, before other defenders could close in. “I just thought that I had to be calm and put one away for the team and help my team in any way I could,” Robertson said. “(Maimone) saw me running behind the defense and he just played the ball over the top of me to get the ball.”
Thompson was glad to see his freshman reap rewards for his effort. “He’s very excited [about it],” Thompson said. “He plays high level soccer on the outside; so it’s nothing new to him. I mean, this style is new, but he’s adapted pretty well. So, it was a good goal at a very timely moment.” But Thompson pointed out Robertson’s goal came from a complete Raider production. “It’s always a team effort when we come out there,” he said. “There is just not ever one guy; and that’s what I like about this team. If you see the goal sheets for the rest of our games, it’s littered with everyone’s name. It’s not one kid just making all the goals. I really enjoy working with this group ‘cause we share the ball, we knock the ball around. We like to possess and keep it.” On Tuesday, Atlee can help secure their hold on the Capital District when they travel to Hanover for a 7 p.m. contest. Hanover is currently second in the league having only lost on the Raider’s field.

At the end of April, the Atlee girls varsity lacrosse team was part of many who helped out with the Atlee Little League Challenger baseball game.
“Nine innings is too much,” Fuhrmann said. “If you look at the average number of pitches, it’s way too much.” According to USA Baseball’s rules, if a pitcher throws 60-75 pitches, he has to rest for three or four days, depending on his age. Under the VHSL’s proposal, he would only need two days, no matter his age. After the VHSL rejected Fuhrmann’s proposal, it created one that went further than the current rule, but not as far what Fuhrmann hoped. In effect, it created a proposal that pleased no one. Eric Kolenich is a staff writer for the Richmond Times Dispatch.
Camp brochures can be accessed from Patrick Henry’s website or picked up in the front offices of South Anna, Beaverdam, Elmont, Henry Clay, Gandy, Liberty, and Patrick Henry schools.

Eagle makes Classic connection with Feed More Golf tournament will benefit area’s needy By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com When the “Road to the LPGA” makes it annual August stop at Richmond Country Club one of the lesser publicized benefits to the community comes from money given to local charities. While the list of charities over the past years has been diverse, none would appear to be timelier than the one selected to benefit from this year’s Eagle Classic at RCC. Last week, the LPGA Symetra Tour event organizers (formerly the LPGA Futures Tour) announced that Richmond based FeedMore will be the recipient of the charity proceeds from the Aug. 13-19 golf tournament. FeedMore is the umbrella organization for the Central Virginia Food Bank, Meals on Wheels and the Community Kitchen. “This is a tremendous help because we’re always looking for partners out in our community to help us provide food,”

said FeedMore CEO Fay Lohr. “Summertime is a time when we are really desperate for food.” Lohr said that with a new school year rapidly approaching, vacation bills to be paid and end of summer schedules,
feeding the hungry is a cause often forgotten. “Their mind is on everything but the hungry,” Lohr said. “Unfortunately, the children we serve, which there are way too many every day, they
A week of softball upsets Eagle Classic Staff reports Last week, the top two softball teams in TD Top-10 poll, Patrick Henry and Lee-Davis both suffered upset losses on the road. On Monday, the #2 Confederates fell 1-0 at #4 Prince George. Two days later is was the #1 Patriots who suffered their first loss of the season when they were upset 3-2 at unranked Hanover. Patrick Henry has another big non-district contest this Wednesday when they host #3 Dinwiddie in a 5:30 p.m. contest. Hanover has two big rivalry games this week. The Hawks

volunteers still needed The Eagle Classic golf tournament at Richmond Country Club is still in search of volunteers for the week of the LPGA Symetra Tour event on Aug. 13-19. Volunteers are needed as golf course marshals and spotters as well as cart drivers, parking transportation help, and scoring volunteers. Anyone interested in volunteering for the professional golf event should contact the Richmond Country Club at (804) 784-3120.
are concerned because they are hungry.” From the FeedMore distribution center, 130,000 people a month are being fed. In the summertime, the FeedMore kitchen makes 4000-6000 meals
a day. “This is the boost in the arm we really need,” Lohr said. RCC golf pro and tournament organizer Matthew Schultze pointed out it is a unique relationship between the event and charity. “To me it’s very impressive that a golf tournament and 144 girls coming to compete can benefit the community through an association like FeedMore,” he said. “We can get out to the community what it’s all about.” As President of Eagle Construction, the sponsor behind the Eagle Classic, it was Bud Ohly’s job to designate what charity the tournament would benefit. “It’s a little amusing to me how we ended up being associated with FeedMore,” Ohly said. “I gave myself a deadline, which I waited until like two hours before my deadline to choose a charity event. I just kept saying I can’t think about this. I Googled Richmond-based charities and I looked for the top two. “I looked for the ones that have big organizations and I tried to call the top executive at each one,” Ohly said. “I only
got to my second call before Fay (Lohr) called me back. I was like seven minutes later. “I didn’t know the organization as well as I do now,” Ohly said. “We didn’t choose FeedMore, they chose us because it’s an amazing, amazing thing that (they) do.” Most of the proceeds that go on to the tournament’s charity are derived from early week events such as the Pro/Am Tournament, Style Show, Silent Auction and Meet The Pros party. Slots are still available for the Pro/Am Tournament. Tickets to the Meet the Pros Party are $55 per person or $100 per couple while tickets to the style show are $20. “We can do five meals for every dollar that’s donated,” Lohr said. “So every time you buy a ticket, you’re already fed somebody before you got (to the golf course) and had fun.” Last year, the tournament donated approximately $20,000 to VCU Massey Cancer Center. “The most important thing is, hunger has a cure,” Lohr said. “It’s not like childhood cancer. We’ve got a cure we just all need
Hanover Country Club experiences resurgence Billy Casper Golf now managing course Contributed report
Hanover Country Club is experiencing an early-season resurgence since naming Billy Casper Golf (BCG) as operator. Despite declining membership numbers at country clubs statewide, Hanover has realized a 152-percent increase in membership year-over-year. Much of the renaissance is rooted in BCG’s comprehensive plan to enhance golf course conditions and other activities. A limited-time-only
waiver of initiation fee and two months dues for the first 50 new members has also proven popular. BCG directs all aspects of Hanover’s member programs, operations, golf course and property maintenance, sales, marketing and public relations, staffing and training, merchandising, restaurant and banquet activities, special events and financial management. Hanover as also benefiting from “BCGreen,” BCG’s initiative to conserve, protect and enhance the environment. The club has also enrolled in the Audubon International
“Certified Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary” program. This designation increases efficiencies in maintenance, energy, water, pesticides, fertilizer, equipment wear and labor. The 18-hole, 6,700-yard, par-71 course was renovated in 2006. BCG is the owner-operator of more than 130 golf courses, country clubs and resorts. Founded more than 20 years ago in cooperation with golf legend Billy Casper and headquartered in Vienna, VA, regional offices are strategically convenient to courses’ locales.
