Hanover resident’s art to be displayed at U.S. Capitol By Ken Odor for The Mechanicsville Local
A
Hanover County student at the Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School recently captured first place in the 2012 Congressional Art Competition. Selena Kitchens, who painted “Shadows on a Cave Wall,” was recognized by U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor, R-7. She was among 128 artists from the congressman’s district honored. Kitchens resides in Beaverdam. Kitchens’s painting will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol for one year, along with artwork from students across the country. “We have so many talented young artists in Virginia, and their creativity is on full display
Selena Kitchens of Beaverdam painted “Shadows on a Cave Wall” to take first place in the 2012 Congressional Art Competition.
at this year’s Congressional Art Competition,” Cantor said. “I’m honored to congratulate the winners for their outstanding work and thank the teachers and parents who encourage their students and children to think creatively and be involved in the arts.” The Congressional Art Competition began in 1982 to provide an opportunity for members of Congress to encourage and recognize the artistic talents of their young constituents. Since then, more than 650,000 high school students have participated in the nationwide competition.

It’s not often that a public school system forms a bond with a rock band, but that’s what happened Friday when REO Speedwagon visited Hanover High School. The reason for the visit was the band wanted to thank the 1,000 or so students and staff from Hanover County Public Schools for making a lip dub video of the group’s hit song “Roll with the Changes.” REO Speedwagon recently discovered the YouTube video and posted it on its website — www.reospeedwagon.com – before the visit to Hanover, according to Linda M. Scarborough, HCPS communications specialist. The video was played just before the fivemember band took the stage in the Hanover High auditorium. “You guys just blew me away,” Kevin Cronin, lead vocalist for REO Speedwagon, said. Cronin was joined on stage by his bandmates, which, according to the group’s website, include Dave Amato (lead guitar); Neal Doughty (keyboards); Bruce Hall (bass); and Bryan Hitt (drums). After seeing the video, Cronin said the band had to make a stop in Hanover while on tour to say thanks for choosing their song. “Thank you very much,” Cronin said. “That was awesome.” The band was formed decades ago when its

Dad always said ‘One red rose will do’ Without question, remembering those who are no longer with us is a matter of love and respect. Whether it is a visit, a single flower or an arrangement, the gesture is heart-felt and kind as we prepare to observe Memorial Day. My family — especially my mother — is dedicated to paying tribute to loved ones who have left us. It is a common thread throughout the generations. We make the journey to our hometown to decorate the graves of grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles and cousins. It has been a tradition to observe those days specifically designated with a wreath or bouquet of flowers. Mom relocated to Virginia almost three years ago. A promise was made at that time to return to the cemetery at least twice a year: Memorial Day and before Christmas. So far, I’ve been able to keep my word and take her home to decorate family graves. While great care and affection are placed in selecting all the arrangements, she does invest more in the flowers for dad’s grave. And, with every visit, his words echo: “One red rose will do.” My father grew up poor and knew all too well about need. He helped establish a food pantry at our home church that still operates today in an economically struggling area of the West Virginia coalfields. One of the most touching moments before his funeral nearly 20 years ago was when a young member of his church placed a vase with a single red rose at the altar. Her card read, “You always said one red rose will do.” Mom hasn’t exactly heeded his request in the years since. The vase on the marker is carefully and lovingly filled with colorful flowers — and usually a single red rose. Whatever gesture — whether it’s quiet time or reflecting on days gone by — the remembrances of Memorial Day are steeped in history and tradition. To those who are no longer with us, we will go to the cemetery, have a moment of silence, and place the flowers in the vases. And, yes, one red rose will do. Melody Kinser

Article’s publication proves Where were the clergy business has mission on track on National Day of Prayer? Where are all the clergy? The 61st Annual local National Day of Prayer service was held at Historic Pole Green Park on Thursday, May 3. On behalf of the Christian community, I’d like to thank the clergy that were present and/or participated in the service. Clergy, I noted, were from Hanover Church of the Nazarene, Fellowship Community Church, Church of the Redeemer, Hospital Chaplains, and Independent Baptist affiliates. Sorry if I missed anyone. Historic Pole green Church is the boyhood Church of Patrick Henry (remember “Give me liberty or give me death”) and a bastion of religious freedom and civil liberties. So I have to ponder, why would the hundreds of local clergy that were MIA not partake in this very powerful National Day of Prayer Service at such a deeply enriched site of religious history? The service was advertised all over social media, print media, via flyer or letter to the local dlergy, and even some phone calls to them. Were they too busy? Afraid of losing their tax-exempt status? (Really the government’s way of keeping them silenced/) Holding prayer services in their own churches? (Commendable.) Or just plain clueless? America is facing crisis of epic proportions. Without more clergy that will have the courage to get engaged in the community and come out, speak up, and get back to preaching and teaching about the downsides of the massive moral, financial, social, spiritual, and political decay we are experiencing, all hope is lost. If your clergy did not partake in the National Day of Prayer in any way or at least inform his or her parishioners ACES, MCEF and WHEAT would like to express their about it, I would encourage you to ask them, why not? sincere appreciation to all of the Hanover County Public God bless America, please.

It was a surprise to be on the cover, and we feel so honored! It shows, at least to me, that if you do things for the right reasons great things will happen. When I started the MaKo Music school five months ago (after serving as a private music teacher somewhere else for nine years in Mechanicsville) with the dream of serving my students the way they deserve, I knew things would be succesful if all we focused on were the good of the students and the community. Despite aggressive opposition, we did not back down, and things are great! After living in California, New York, Nigeria, Richmond, Alexandria and other places, it is obviously a sign that I have found my home. My family and I love living/working/going to school in this community and plan to contribute as much as we can for as long as we can. Thank you again, you have confirmed that the mission is on track.

Hanover County firefighter John Greene recently participated in the Rugged Maniac 5K. He underwent a weight loss procedure a year ago and dropped 120 pounds.
accepted by the Bon Secours Center for Bariatric Excellence Lap-Band give-away program. He underwent surgery in February 2011. Since his surgery, Greene has lost 130 pounds, his sleep apnea is gone, and he is in the process of phasing out his high blood pressure medicine. He said he works out regularly, plays on two soccer teams, and has been promoted to Hanover County volunteer fire chief. Greene’s wife Andrea credits her husband’s determination and the surgery, which put him back on the right path to health. Surgery alone was not enough.
“My wife has been at Heritage Green a little over two years. She has had no serious falls or illnesses. Maybe just a cold. There is a definite spirit of love and concern that gives me complete conďŹ dence in the care my loved one is receiving. I would not think of moving

A year after undergoing a weight loss procedure, Hanover County fire chief John Greene participated in the Rugged Maniac 5K race in Petersburg. The recent event had him climbing over walls, crawling through mud and jumping over fire. Taking part in the exercise may seem like standard training for a fire chief, but Greene weighed 323 pounds and suffered from sleep apnea and high blood pressure in early 2011. He said his work as a volunteer firefighter required agility and vigorous exertion, which placed his life at risk as he rescued others. “Last year I decided to rescue myself and get control of my health and weight. The odds of me dying because of health issues were far greater than the odds of getting injured or dying going into a burning building,� Greene said. Seeking permanent change, Greene applied for and was

Greene changed his diet — and he started exercising again. “Today, John is the man I met more than 15 years ago,” Andrea said. “He is a wonderful man, but I didn’t realize until after the surgery how much of him I’d lost over the years,” his wife said “He became reserved and was unable to do anything beyond the daily routine of life. We really were just getting by. The surgery was well worth it, and I would tell anyone out there who needs it to get it. We couldn’t be happier with the results.” Together, the Greenes both

There have been, and there will be, difficult decisions to make. As an independent Human Resources consultant for 19 years, I can bring my business acumen to the School Board table. My clients depend on my skills in number-crunching and statistics, and qualitative and quantitative data to improve communication and customer and employee satisfaction levels. I have the ability to translate numbers and “feelings” into tangible data and concrete action plans. As a parent of the Hanover County Public School system, I can come to the School Board table as a “customer” of the School System. Two of my children graduated from Patrick Henry High School (2006 and 2011), and my youngest child attends Liberty Middle School.
This “customer” perspective is a very important dimension that I would bring to the School Board. As a volunteer in the Hanover County Public School system and our community, I have developed strong relationships with parents, citizens and business leaders in our community. For example, through my volunteer work at Gandy Elementary, I have successfully connected the greater community to Gandy. Nearly half of the students at Gandy are on the free or reduced lunch program, so many parents do not have the financial means to support additional programs and opportunities for their children. With the help of other parents and community leaders, I started the Gandy Art Auction three years ago to provide financial support for the creation of the Gandy Learning Garden and the programs and initiatives of the Gandy PTA.
Through my volunteer work at Patrick Henry High School, I helped spearhead a PTSA sponsored dinner/auction, which raised more than $15,000. In partnership with PATS, we were able to install an electronic marquee sign in front of the school. This extraordinary effort was possible due to the efforts of many parents, citizens and business leaders who shared a like-minded dedication to our public schools. One of the things I am most proud of is serving on the Ashland Police Department Promotions Board. I consider it an honor to work with the Ashland Police Department, as I have a great respect for all public servants, including police, fire, rescue, sheriff, educators and countless others. Thanks to these experiences and the relationships that I have developed over many years, I understand the pulse of Hanover County. see LETTERS, pg. 17

I have attained the trust of a wide-range people in our community, to include school leaders, teachers, parents, citizens and business leaders. Why do I want to be on the School Board? The answer is simple. I care about our Hanover County Public School system. I feel called to share my time, talents and treasure to support our students and to preserve and enhance our public school system. If appointed to the Ashland District seat, I will strive to make wise decisions for the responsible use of taxpayer’s money. I will endeavor to continue learning and growing to be an effective leader in our changing world. And, most importantly, I will work for the best interests of our students. Lorie Foley Ashland
that Cox, as the owner of a successful trucking company, was ready to “bite the bullet” since any fuel tax increase could affect his company’s profitability. I contend that before any consideration is made to increase our fuel tax I would like to know that every effort has been made to see that the Virginia Department of Transportation is being operated as competently as possible. Over the years there have been too many instances of VDOT’s wasteful ways. If Del. Cox could guarantee that VDOT was run as efficiently as his company is run, then and only then should a fuel tax increase be considered. And, being somewhat cynical, I could point out that Cox’s company would surely pass on any operating cost increases to his customers in the form of higher shipping rates. For me, I’d just get stuck paying the tax. Chuck Williamson Mechanicsville

know how much joy they can bring to a household. His letter was very timely. We are perplexed as to why the leash law is in effect for a limited period as opposed to year-round. But that’s for another day. We are concerned, however, about the animals that are not properly housed on an owner’s property. It is so easy for an animal to escape. Our reasons are purely personal. Recently our mother and grandmother Mrs. Wright, who
is approaching her 88th birthday, was in her yard when she was knocked over by two dogs that were running free. When she fell, she struck her head on the concrete sidewalk, which caused massive bleeding. Thankfully, Mr. Baker – a very kind gentleman and our good samaritan — saw the incident as it was happening and pulled his vehicle over to assist her. She was bleeding profusely from her head. Mr. Baker took the necessary steps to ensure she received proper care by
wrapping a towel around her head and calling 911. Without his assistance — and that of the 911 operators and the team at Engine Co. #7 — her outcome would have been much different than what it was. She has recovered nicely, thanks to the medical care she received. Her hospital stay was just short of three weeks and her home health care about a month. We do not believe the dogs
meant intentional harm; however, it is so important for animal owners to become more aware of where their fourlegged family members are so that another situation like this does not happen. We can never thank Mr. Baker enough for his caring attention to our loved one. Being he was at just the right place at just the right moment was truly a gift from God. We are extremely grateful see LETTERS, pg. 19

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.

During the groundbreaking for his family’s Hanover Habitat for Humanity home on Saturday, Jimmy Goodman was overcome with emotion. When called upon to say a few words, Goodman choked up and could only say that he thanked God for the people who showed up. Following the groundbreaking ceremony at 8208 Pleasant Grove Road in Mechanicsville, Goodman, 37, was able to collect his thoughts. “Well, like I said, I thank God because He’s the only one that could bring people together like this to help out people,” Goodman said. “And it’s a great opportunity. I don’t know if I would ever be able to afford a home without people like this.”

Richmond superintendent to address R-MC commencement Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Richmond Public Schools superintendent Yvonne W. Brandon, a 1976 graduate of Randolph-Macon College, will address the Ashland school’s 2012 graduating class on May 26 in the Frank E. Brown Plaza. According to R-MC president Robert R. Lindgren, commencement exercises will get underway at 10 a.m. “Dr. Brandon is a wonderful inspiration for our students and we are pleased that she will serve as our Commencement speaker,” said Lindgren. “She was a student at Randolph-Macon during a time of historic transformation, when the college became co-educational.
Brandon’s road to success is a shining example of the accomplishments possible with a liberal arts education.” As superintendent of Richmond Public Schools in Richmond, Brandon supervises a district that serves more than 24,000 students in 29 elementary schools, nine middle schools and eight high schools. She previously served as interim superintendent before her appointment to lead the division in 2009. She earned a degree in biology from R-MC in 1976, a master’s in guidance counseling from Virginia State University and an Ed.D in educational supervision and administration from Nova Southeastern University. Her career in Richmond Public
Schools began as a middle school math teacher. She also taught high school science, served as a guidance counselor, and led several schools as principal. In 1999, Brandon was appointed to her first administrative position as director of instruction for Richmond Public Schools, followed by her promotion to deputy superintendent in 2002. Brandon has credited R-MC for teaching her critical thinking and problem-solving skills. “I cannot put a price tag on my academic and social experiences at Randolph-Macon,” she said. Brandon has served on RandolphMacon’s Board of Trustees since February 2011.

He also has provided major support for the RandolphMacon Fund and the Yellow Jacket Club. In 2007, the Allens established The Randolph-Macon College Athletic Endowment, which challenges donors to help supplement R-MC’s athletic program and puts emphasis in support of women’s athletics. A recipient of scholarships that enabled him to attend RMC, Allen said he never forgot the impact this support had on his life. The Allens established the Buddy and Ann Allen Scholarship fund to enable local area students, both from Richmond-area high schools and those who are community college transfers, to attend Randolph-Macon College. “Buddy exemplifies the very best of what a RandolphMacon education provides,” said Lindgren. “In addition to his generosity, he has a sincere interest in providing those same opportunities to other students through the Buddy and Ann Allen Scholarship.

“Why Do We Use Our Photo in Our Ads?”
2654962-01
Dear friends, When we meet people around town, they usually say, “I’ve seen your ads with your picture in it.” Well, perhaps we should tell you a little bit more about that photo, and why we use it. First, Dr. Melissa, “When I was 13 I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. My fatigue was so severe that it was all I could do to make it home at the end of the day and crawl into bed. Feeling frustrated and concerned about my health and life, for years I tried all kinds of different approaches, none of them worked! A friend of mine convinced me to give chiropractic a try. I was reluctant at first thinking that chiropractic was only for people with bad backs, but soon discovered that it was so much more… The Chiropractor did an exam, took some films, and then took the time to explain to me that when the spine is not properly aligned it can interfere with the proper function of the nervous system resulting in all types of health problems because the nerve system controls all function of the body. Thatwasthecauseofmysymptoms,imbalances in my spine, which interfered with my nerves. The chiropractor then gently “adjusted” my spine using her hands. The adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. It made so much sense to me and worked so well that I decided to become a Chiropractor so that I could help people overcome their health challenges naturally, just as chiropractic helped with mine.” Now for Dr. Mike, “I was in a car accident in 1988 that resulted in severe leg pain (sciatica) and low back pain and had also been a migraine headache sufferer since early childhood. After being told
that I may need surgery, I got serious about seeing a chiropractor. My leg pain went away quickly and the back pain all but disappeared. And with regular chiropractic adjustments I haven’t had a migraine headache in years! Melissa and I decided to go back to school together so that we could help families live happier, healthier and more productive lives without having to depend on potentially harmful drugs or surgery for their health concerns.” “What if we had just taken medicine to cover up our symptoms? What would our health be like today? You see, we weren’t content with just eliminating symptoms, we wanted to be healthy and knew that there had to be a natural and safe way to get and stay healthy naturally.” And there is! Our three children also benefit from a wellness lifestyle. They enjoy being checked regularly and “tuned-up” when needed. And they have enjoyed incredibly vibrant health, thanks to good nutrition, lots of love and regular chiropractic care. It’s strange how life is, because now people come to see us with their fatigue, arthritis, sciatica and migraines. They also come to see us for help with back and neck pain, shoulder/arm pain, asthma/
allergies, ear infections, and poor posture, just to name a few. Some visit our office regularly to naturally promote and enhance the overall Godgiven health and wellness potential of their entire family and to stay drug-free. Here’s what some of our practice members have had to say: “I am calmer, more patient, in much less pain and my headaches are gone!” –A. Moore “Chiropractic is the best thing I have ever done for myself and my family” -S. Bylowski The body was created to self-heal and selfregulate and it does this through the nervous system. That’s why chiropractic care helps people get tremendous results. It’s as simple as that! The studies speak for themselves, like the Virginia study that showed that 99% of patients who saw a chiropractorweresatisfiedwiththeirresults.Another recent study published in the January 3, 2012 issue of the Wall Street Journal showed that chiropractic care and exercise were almost twice as effective as OTC and prescription medications for neck pain. That’s just incredible! Many Americans are finding that their insurance
benefits are being reduced. That’s where we come in. We have cost effective fee plans so that more people are able to afford the corrective care they need with or without insurance. Another way to save…studies show that chiropractic can enhance your immune capacity, naturally and without drugs. The immune system fights colds, flues, and other sicknesses. Studies also show that people actually pay less for their long-term overall health care expenses if they are seeing a chiropractor regularly. You Benefit from an Amazing Offer- Look, it shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg to find out if you might benefit from chiropractic care. *When you make an appointment before June 15th, you will receive our entire new patient exam for only $29! That’s with x-rays (if indicated), functional testing and a report of your findings…. the whole ball of wax. This exam could normally cost you over $200. We simply want you and your family to get checked to discover if chiropractic can help—and we don’t want price to be the reason you don’t. We provide specific and measurable results!
We are MATHES FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC “Healthy by Choice!” Call us at 746-5700 for your appointment. Sincerely, Drs. Mike and Melissa Mathes and the Mathes Family Chiropractic Team *Due to Federal regulations we are unable to extend this offer to recipients of any Federal Health program, such as Medicare.

Wilson said before the group arrived. A Patrick Henry High School graduate posted a link to the video on Facebook, Wilson added. After playing an acoustic version of “Roll with the Changes,” REO Speedwagon received raucous applause. The video was shot at Hanover High last year for the school district’s annual convocation for teachers for this year, said Erin Beard, the 2011 Teacher of the Year. Beard appears in the opening of the video. With the theme “All in This Together” for the convocation, Beard said “Roll with the Changes” seemed like the “perfect” song. The song also was chosen because the school division was in transition with Wilson taking over as superintendent from retiring Stewart D. Roberson, Beard added. Beard said the credit for masterminding the video goes to Stacie Marshall and Trip Wells, who manage TV99, the school’s system’s cable television station. “It is really exciting that this video, which started as an instructional lesson in camera movement for our mass communications students, will end with another educational opportunity for our students,” Marshall said. “It’s also just such a thrill to learn that international recording stars liked our little locally produced video,” Wells added .

“Peel Off Unwanted Fat, and Increase Your Energy, While Building Firm Muscle – Without Dieting!”
L-DHS Spring Concert Series
Imagine discovering a way of losing unwanted fat and doing it almost effortlessly. If you read this article, you’ll find out how you or anyone you know can lose up to 2 or more pounds a week. That equates into a huge loss of unwanted weight. This is how one woman was able to do just that. 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

The Lee-Davis High School Choral Department presented its Spring Concert Series on May 15 and 16. Forty seniors in the choral department will graduate on June 16.
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 cleansing program, your body will no longer need to STORE them 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. If you are interested in making this month’s “Weight Loss Challenge” with Dr. deBarros D.C., you are invited to attend a short explanation on how you can become eligible to participate in our Weight Loss Evaluation. “This program will not only help people lose weight, but also improve their relationships. This is the first product that I wholeheartedly endorse.” John Gray, Ph.D., author of “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.” Dr. deBarros D.C. is located at 7020 Cold Harbor Rd, in Mechanicsville. Dr. deBarros told us it may be hard to find his office the first time, but once you’ve found them, you’ll never forget. The service is outstanding. His office is unique in the fact that it has successfully helped hundreds of patients not only with weight loss, but also their overall health care. Their phone number is 1-800-FAT-AWAY. Call them — any time. If someone isn’t there, just leave your name and phone number and one of the assistants will call you back — within 24 hours. Dr. deBarros, D.C. has thrown down the gauntlet to the community to “Lose a Ton of Unwanted Weight” as he puts it, in the next 30 days, and get healthier than ever. If you need further information, or have some simple questions about the program, you can go to: www.skinnyrichmond.com. “I lost a total of 70 lbs. and got down to 8% body fat in three months! It’s an amazing program; it’s fast and effective and, best of all, it’s natural and doctor supervised!” -E. Ross, D.C. This is a great opportunity to lose that unwanted weight, safely, effectively, and timely. Go find out more and to attend an explanation, or if you want a doctor, trainer, nutritionist, etc., who wants to find out more about this amazing program that gets weight to come off like melting butter, call Dr. deBarros D.C. for more information about the big give away.

The Lee-Davis High School Library is a community partner for the first World Book Night event in the U.S. Many thanks to all who helped as we gave away over 200 books as part of the event, including Hunger Games, Ender’s Game, Friday Night Lights, and The Things They Carried. World Book Night U.S. is an ambitious annual campaign to give away half a million free books across America. For more information, please go to www.worldbooknight.org FFA members attended the central area FFA competition in April and participated in the Agriculture Mechanics Contest. There were 60 participants from schools. Our team consisted of Bobby Garner, Lucas Powell, Dylan Brooks, and Matt Hoffman. Our students earned First Place in the senior division; individual rankings included Bobby Garner (1st), Dylan Brooks (2nd ) and Lucas Powell (3rd). Please join us in congratulating our NJROTC Unit for receiving the Distinguished Unit Award this year. This award is given only to those units who demonstrate the very highest levels of performance. Job very well done to the cadets: we could not have accomplished this monumental feat without the support of everyone. So on behalf of Master Chief Lawrence and Commander Rogers, thank you! Cadet Katy Schumacher has received a very generous Navy ROTC scholarship to Boston University. Although she was accepted to Boston University, she was also accepted to Virginia Tech and Penn State. Her options for consideration were open for all three colleges. Her final decision was to go to Virginia Tech, and with a few phone calls she was able to transfer her scholarship. While attending Virginia Tech she plans to be a part of the Corps of Cadets and major in engineering. The unit would like to recognize and congratulate Cadet Schumacher on this momentous achievement. Cadet Julie Snipes, on April 25, 2012 placed runner up in the Phoenician Award Essay Contest, which was sponsored by the Military Order of the World Wars Association. To receive this award she had to write an essay on leadership. As essay runner-up, she received a scholarship. The unit would also like to congratulate Cadet Snipes for this achievement.
Congratulations to Cameron Gibson, a 10th grade general marketing student, for an outstanding performance at DECA’s International Career Development Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was an award winner for a role play in the Human Resources Management Individual Series Event.

She led the certification process, with the assistance of her advisors and classmates. Marketing students recently participated in The National Financial Capability Challenge.

We’ll Make You Smile!
Berkshire Hathaway buys 63 Media General papers By John Reid Blackwell Media General News Service The Richmond Times-Dispatch and a host of other Southeastern newspapers, including The Mechanicsville Local, will soon be in the hands of a former newspaper delivery boy turned billionaire investor. In a deal announced Thursday, Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway Inc. will acquire 63 newspapers from Richmond-based Media General Inc. for $142 million. The deal, expected to close June 25, includes all of Media General’s newspapers, with the exception of The Tampa Tribune and about 25 other daily, weekly and niche publications in Florida. The company said it is in discussions with potential buyers for those properties. The acquisition comes as newspapers across the country have struggled with declining advertising revenue brought on by the digital revolution, the recession and ensuing slow economy, leading to mass job cuts, bankruptcies and consolidations in the industry. Buffett, who often has talked about working as a newspaper delivery boy during his childhood, had expressed some skepticism about the future of newspapers in recent years. But on Thursday, the man often referred to as the “Oracle of Omaha” indicated he sees a future for news organizations with a strong local focus. “In towns and cities where there is a strong sense of community, there is no more important institution than the local paper,” Buffett said in a statement. He also delivered a message to the company’s Richmond-area employees through Terry Kroeger, the chief executive officer of BH Media Group, the Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary that will oversee the newspapers. In a meeting with employees, Kroeger said that Buffett had a prior commitment but asked that he tell the staff here, “He is so pleased about this.” Kroeger added, to applause from those in the room, “Tell those people I wish I was there and I did this because I love newspapers.” Media General newspapers will be part of BH Media Group, along with the Omaha WorldHerald Co. newspapers. Douglas Hiemstra, the chief operating officer of the Omaha WorldHerald Co., has been named president of World Media Enterprises, which will manage the Media General newspapers that BH Media will acquire. Hiemstra told employees Thursday that it has not been the practice of the organization to make
any major staff cuts after a purchase. Kroeger also said that a financially strong newspaper can perform better. “We will always have to juggle remarkable journalism versus profits, as every newspaper does,” Kroeger said in an interview. “We have got to be responsible to the community, responsible to the readers and responsible to the shareholders at the same time. Sometimes, that is pretty hard.” Among the daily newspapers being sold are the Winston-Salem Journal in North Carolina and newspapers in Lynchburg, Charlottesville, Danville, Bristol, Waynesboro, Culpeper and Prince William County in Virginia. Times-Dispatch staff members greeted the news of Buffett’s involvement with a sense of optimism. “I am really thankful and grateful, because it is almost like coming up for a breath of air,” said Baxton Baylor, who has been a graphic designer in The Times-Dispatch’s design services operations for seven years. He said he hoped the deal would lead to more opportunities for innovation at the newspaper. “I am truly excited,” he said. Berkshire Hathaway also owns The Buffalo News in New York and has an ownership stake in The Washington Post Co. Buffett moved more aggressively into the newspaper business with the acquisition in December of his Nebraska hometown paper, the Omaha World-Herald, reportedly for $200 million. That deal included six other dailies and 17 weeklies in Nebraska and Iowa. At Berkshire Hathaway’s annual meeting May 5, Buffett told shareholders the company may invest in more newspapers. Buffett, a savvy investor who looks for undervalued companies, is getting a good deal for the 63 Media General newspapers, said John Morton, president of Morton Research Inc. in Maryland and a longtime newspaper industry analyst. Morton said his calculations indicate that Buffett is getting the newspapers for about a third of the price per subscriber that most newspapers would have sold for about 10 years ago. “He certainly did not overpay,” Morton said. “And he bought the kinds of newspapers that are faring reasonably well, compared with some of the big-city papers.” The size of the deal is significant compared with Berkshire Hathaway’s other newspaper acquisitions, said Meyer Shields, a director and research analyst at Stifel Financial.

ment for what we’re building this house for these people for,” Bowring said. To qualify for a Hanover Habitat for Humanity home, Bowring said buyers must have lived in the county for a year. Officials also look at whether a family has been living in substandard or unsafe housing, Bowring said. Buyers must have good credit and be willing to put in 200 hours of sweat equity to help build their home, Bowring added. Garrett Augustine, construction supervisor for Hanover Habitat for Humanity, said he enjoys working with the volunteers and the buyers. He said Goodman has been volunteering at other Habitat sites.
“He’s a hard worker,” Augustine said. “I think he’s going to like this house.” Hanover Habitat for Humanity’s Connie Alexander helps families with the building process. The Goodmans’ home is the 41st house that the local organization has built and the fifth this year, Alexander said. Volunteers will keep the costs down and help make the Goodmans’ house affordable, Alexander noted. Christian Voik, 47, was one of the volunteers who helped on Saturday. “It’s going to help the family so that’s why we do it,” Voik said. “And also I learn about how to build the house, so that’s good too.”

Atlee completes Capital sweep in district championships By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Atlee used a complete team effort to claim both the boys and girls Capital District Outdoor Track & Field championships last week at Glen Allen High School. While the Raider boys notched their fourth straight championship it was a return to glory for the Atlee girls, unseating Lee-Davis which has dominated the sport for the past six years. “We had about a 12-year string from around the mid90s up to around 2005,” said Atlee head coach Jim Triemplar. “Lee-Davis had about a six-year string going. So we needed to get it back.” The Atlee girls amassed a score of 158.50. Lee-Davis second was at 116 followed by Henrico, Armstrong, Highland Springs, Hanover, Glen Allen and Varina. The Atlee boys saw their fortunes turn on a dime. The Raiders were in a tight battle with Highland Springs midway through the final day of the meet when the Springers suffered a huge setback after their speedy 4x100 relay team was disqualified for making a handoff outside the zone. Atlee’s quartet of Javaghn Gordon, Joe Martin, Patrick Gordon and Rashan Winters took fourth in the event, but they picked up points where the Springers failed to do so. Ironically, the Raiders almost suffered a similar fate. “I was concerned about us because it looked like we were very near the end of the relay zone, but Joe got it just before he left the relay zone,” Triemplar said. It was a repeat disappointment for the Springers who also DQ’d in the 4x800 relay. LeeDavis’ Paul Adam, Houston Stevenson, Matt Wichelman and Grayson Morgan won the event, but the Raiders picked
42
up much needed points over the Springers when Jack Stockhausen, Bizz Alidost, Matthew Peery and Austin Sutherland took second. The Springers finally managed to score in a relay by claiming third in the 4x400 but it mattered little when Atlee’s Matt Combs, David Segovia, Rashan Winters and Brandon Hunt won the event with a time of 3:26.19, missing the meet record by 0:00.59 seconds. As a result, Atlee edged out Highland Springs 211.6-188.7 for the title. Lee-Davis (70.5) was third followed by Varina, Hanover, Henrico, Glen Allen and Armstrong. Triemplar found both championships particularly pleasing because it was a true representation of team performance. “We had a large number of kids contribute to scoring,” he said. “All in all on the boy’s side we had 28 different kids score somewhere and on the girl’s side, 20. So, that’s a lot of people getting involved.” The Atlee girls scored huge points in the 3200, which they dominated with five of the top six finishers. Atlee sophomore Scarlett Bavin won with a time of 12:07.26 followed by Katt Grasberger, Chole Bavin and Paige Harrar. Hanover freshman Rachel Gaunt was the only non-Raider in the top six and she was followed by Atlee’s Kaitlyn Mason. With a time of 2:23.32, Atlee junior Katharine Leitch won an 800 race dominated by county runners. Hanover’s Annie Sadler was second followed by Katie Bland (A), Bonny Turnage (LD), Katie Gardner (A) and Madison Doss (LD). Atlee’s only other win came in the 4x800 Relay where Emma Arner, Grasberger, Gardner and Bland defeated Lee-Davis and Hanover for the championship. But the Raiders picked up points elsewhere. Atlee fresh-

man India Lowe was third in the triple jump followed by Lee-Davis’ Shakiya Sheppard. Hanover’s Mackenzie Scott took sixth. Freshman Carly Feyerabend claimed third place in the high jump for the Raiders while classmates Erin McDaniel and Morgan Kirby took fourth and sixth in the pole vault. The Raiders also picked up points in the shot put where senior Makayla King was second and Betsy Chilcoat sixth. King also took second in the discus, followed by Lee-Davis’ Kori Hughes. Chilcoat was sixth. Sophomore Jasmine Zollar was sixth in the 400. Junior Dallas Tennessee led the way for Lee-Davis, winning
the long jump with a distance of 17-05.50 while teammate Shakiya Sheppard was fifth. Tennessee also won the 100 with a time of 12.72. Sheppard was third and Atlee’s Lowe fourth. Tennessee and Sheppard were also third and fifth in the 200. C-fed sophomore Madison Angus cleared 9-00.00 to win the pole vault while teammates Austin Lackey and Kaitlin O’Kelly were third and fifth. Hanover’s Molly Breidnebaugh, who was named district Runner of the Year, dominated the 1600 with a time of 5:09.51, nearly 12 seconds ahead of Atlee’ Chole Bavin. Lee-Davis’ Victoria Doss was third, Atlee’s Grasberger fifth and C-fed Haley Uliasz sixth.
Mackenzie Scott won the 100 Hurdles for Hanover while Atlee’s Feyerabend was third and Lee-Davis’ Rachel Delony sixth. Scott also took second in the 300 hurdles, Tennessee fourth and Delony sixth. For the Atlee boys, senior Cole Stout earned the Field Performer of the Year award with wins in the shot put and discus; events dominated by county athletes. Stout threw the shot put 49-04.00 to beat freshman teammate Austin Cannon by over a foot and a half. LeeDavis’ Russell Munn was third followed by Atlee’s Jeremy Epps and Hanover’s Josh Hutto. Stout took the discus title with a throw of 153-02, nearly 14 feet longer than Hanover’s
Rashard Thornton. Epps was third followed by Cannon and Hanover’s Ryan Long. Dre Bennett and teammate David Segovia gave the Raiders a one-two finish in the high jump. Lee-Davis’ Abdiel Boldin was third. Bennett and Segovia also added points in the 110 hurdles with a second and fourth place finish. LeeDavis sophomore Lee Warren was sixth in the event. Bennett and Segovia also added a second and third place finish in the 300 hurdles. After waiting in the shadows of Chris Pillow for three years, Atlee senior Trey Rydel claimed the pole vault title by clearing 13-06.00. see TRACK, pg. 45 `
Lady Patriots repeat in Colonial Outdoor champions By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The Patrick Henry girls and Douglas Freeman boys both repeated at Colonial District outdoor track champions last week at Glen Allen High School. The Lady Patriots took the championship in commanding fashion 184-113 over Mills Godwin. Freeman was third followed by Deep Run, Maggie Walker, Hermitage, J.R. Tucker, John Marshall and Thomas Jefferson. It was a much closer race on the boy’s side, with Freeman edging out Godwin 132-122. Deep Run was third followed by Patrick Henry, Tucker, Hermitage, John Marshall, Maggie Walker and Thomas Jefferson. Patrick Henry senior Shyra Moton earned Most Valuable Performer honors after winning the 100 and 200. Freeman’s Sarah Thornhill was named Distance Runner of the Year. Patrick Henry’s Travis Phillips was named the boys MVP and Freeman’s Ronnie Calkins the Distance Runner of
the Year. Patriots Coach Scott Brown earned Girls Coach of the Year honors while Freeman’s Sherri Edwards was named boys Coach of the Year. The Patrick Henry girls were dominant in the 100 hurdles. Junior Jessica Shelton won the event with a time of 14.83 while classmate Lynell Fisher and senior Brooke Perdue came in second and third. Shelton came in second in the 300 hurdles and Fisher third. Fisher won the triple jump with a distance of 37-01.00 while junior Crishna Hooker came in fourth. Fisher also claimed second in the long jump while Hooker was fourth and Shelton fifth. Hooker won the high jump by clearing 5-00.00 and Shelton was fifth. Senior Emily Alvarez won the pole vault title by clearing 9-06.00 and junior teammate Samantha Stanely was third. PH’s Kayla Penn, Shelton, Perdue and India Coles won the 4x100 with a time of 50.40. Penn was also third in the 100 and fourth in the 200.
Junior Malina Richardson took second in the 800. Molton was third in the 400 and Logan Harrington fifth. The Patriots got a fifth place finish from sophomore Amy Dunham in the 3200. Blakemore Winston, Logan Harrington, Dunham and Richardson earned a third place finish in the girls 4x800 relay. Blakemore, Kiana Minor, Jasmine Ford and Shanice Ford took fourth in the 4x400 relay. Phillips led the PH boys by winning the 110 meter hurdles with a time of 14.32 and the 300 hurdles with a time of 39.89. Tra Bowden was sixth in both events. PH sophomore Damon Oxendine took third in the long jump while senior teammates Zaytoine Tillman and Bowden were fifth and sixth. Tillman won the triple jump with a distance of 42-00.75 and Bowden was fourth in the event. The pair was also fifth and sixth in the high jump. Patrick Henry’s Terrell Robinson, Phillips, Bowden and Tillman took second in the
4x100 relay. Robinson was also sixth in the 100. Junior Nathan Nayda was fifth in the 800. Wyatt Campbell, Nayda, Sam Thomas and Nathan Dunham took fifth in the boys 4x800 relay. Nayda, Thomas, Derrick Ford and Dunham took sixth in the 4x400 relay. Tucker senior Nick Simmons came closest to breaking a record while beating the top facility mark for the high jump. It was a record he set last year. Simmons cleared 6-11 and barely brushed the bar off on his first attempt at 7-1, which would have been a new Colonial record. Calkins was just as close to a record in the 3200, missing the mark by 0:01.12 with a time of 9:23.42.

It wasn’t until the Sea Gulls trimmed the lead to one in the fifth that CNU’s bats really came to life. Shannon Mark’s two-run single in the sixth scored Ben Lenda and the South Region tournament MVP, Steven Keener, building the Captains’ advantage to 5-2. While Salisbury was able to escape the sixth without any further damage, CNU tacked on three more in the seventh when Keener blasted his second home run of the game, and third of the day, with Connor Madden and Billy Steel (Lee-Davis) already on base. Luke Saunders added a two-
run double down the left field line in the eighth, Billy Steel drove in Preston Grissom in the ninth and Madden followed suit with an RBI single to right that brought home designated hitter, Chris McDougal to provide the final margin. Salisbury starter, Andrew Levy pitched on two days rest and went 6 1/3 giving up six earned runs. His counterpart, freshman, James Walsh (Atlee), made his third start of the year for CNU earning the win after going five innings and giving up only two earned runs. Salisbury finishes their season with an overall 31-13 record. CNU improves to 33-8 and will continue their season this week at the NCAA Division III finals in Appleton, Wisconsin. Lee-Davis alum Jordan Boze and Atlee graduate Paul Keyes are also members of the CNU baseball team.

CNU’s Mitchell earns NFCA All-American honors Contributed report
A pair of Christopher Newport University softball players were honored by the National Fastpitch Coaches Association (NFCA), collecting All-American honors. Senior Jennifer Falin was named a Second Team All-American, while junior catcher Chelsea Mitchell (Lee-Davis) earned a Third Team nod. It is the second time in school history that two players were named All-American in the same season and the first national recognition for both players. As CNU’s starting catcher for
the last three seasons, Mitchell, collected her first All-American honor after the best offensive season of her career, while also managing the Captains’ dominant pitching staff. Mitchell started all 48 games behind the dish while hitting .403 with 21 extra-base hits. She crossed the plate 43 times and drove in 44 runs, including seven home runs. The Captains finished the year with a 37-11 overall record, just missing a third straight trip to the NCAA Championship. CNU hosted the NCAA Regional, reaching the final against Roanoke College before falling to the Maroons, 3-1.

C-feds secure title with 7th inning comeback By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com As Lee-Davis softball standout Kelly Heinz puts it, “This season’s a different season all around for me so why not do something new.” Something new is Heinz batting in the leadoff spot for the Confederates. Moving her up from the middle of the order proved to be crucial to LeeDavis’s come-from-behind victory over Atlee Friday night. The Confederates (17-3, 11-1) scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to win 3-2, secure the Capital District regular-season title and earn an automatic berth in the Central Region tournament. An Atlee victory would have created a three-way tie at the top and a complicated playoff scenario with Hanover and Lee-Davis. “We were down [2-1] in the last inning and kind of pulled it

No drama as Confederates cruise by Raiders By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local No season defining drama was likely to be had when Atlee traveled to Lee-Davis for a Capital District baseball game Friday. The district tournament for both teams was already assured. Regardless of the outcome, the Confederates and Raiders had secured the two and three seeds and were destined to play one another again in this week’s tournament semifinals. Unfortunately for the Raiders, however, little drama was to be had after the bottom of the first inning. Five straight walks of Confederate batters gave Lee-Davis a lead it would never surrender as it closed out the regular season with a commanding 8-1 victory. Lee-Davis (15-5, 10-2

Capital) scored two runs on the walks, then scored another on a groundout by starting pitcher, Patrick Holler. The Raiders (137, 7-5) had their chances to rally, but Holler and his successors found a way to keep all but one from reaching home – and that score came too late in the game to ignite anything of significance. “All the credit to them,” said Atlee coach Barry Burton. “They did what they had to do and we didn’t. That’s the way it goes.” Atlee starter Luke Bolka settled down afterward, getting five strikeouts – the final two Lee-Davis batters in the first inning and three of the four batters he faced in the second. But the damage was done. The Confederates were surprised by how much Bolka

struggled at the start of the game. “The last time he threw against us, he was very effective. When he threw against Hanover, he was very effective,” said Lee-Davis coach Kenny Lewis. “Once we saw that he was on the mound, we were ready for a battle, absolutely.” Bolka pitched two innings and was relieved, but that set the tone of the game. Pitchers rotated in and out throughout the contest – Atlee (15-5, 102 Capital) rotated pitchers as they got in trouble or tired, Leesee DRAMA, pg. 45 ` Dave Lawrence/For The Local

“I think that’s nice for him because he is the one returning from last year and he has been solidly consistent this year,” Triemplar said. Atlee freshmen Bryce Simpson and Charlie Buyas took third and fourth while Cfed freshman Michael Doggett tied for fifth. Raiders’ sophomore Nathaniel Hall narrowly edged out teammate Griffin Carmichael for the 1600 title. Hanover’s James Poyer was a close third and teammate Lucas Nachman fifth. Running his regular event, Carmichael dominated the 800, beating Glen Allen’s Stanley Davis by nearly three seconds. Nachman was fifth and Lee-Davis sophomore Matt Wichelman sixth.

Davis to rest its aces and pitchers farther down the rotation some innings. “We wanted Michael [Thomas] and Jacob Perks, our one and two, rested,” Lewis said. “I did not want them to throw. Matter of fact, I did not start Jacob at third base. I didn’t want him throwing the ball across the field from third. … Our goal was to involve the team. We were going to go down our pitching staff a little bit and let those step up in a big district game and show what they can do, and I was very proud of them.” In three innings work, Holler gave up four hits, hitting one batter, but striking out four and allowing no runs.

Jones was also second in the 200 and Atlee’s Brandon Hunt fourth. Jones was also third in the 400 followed by Hunt. Hanover’s Lyndon German, Chris Melton, Korbin Bordonie and Lamont Stubbs took third in the 4x100 relay. Lee-Davis sophomore allowed another hit. Neither allowed any runs. Michael Folds finished for the Confederates, giving up a hit and two bases on balls. He balked in Atlee’s only run. In the fourth inning, the Confederates extended their lead against Bolka’s relief, Cam Maxey. Maxey entered the game in the third inning and allowed no runs. The first batter in the fourth, Evan Hockensmith, reached on a throwing error. Sean King, Haiden Lamb, and Chad Woodell followed with three consecutive singles – Lamb’s single scored Hockensmith and Woodell’s loaded the bases. Thomas then cleared them with a grand slam over the right field fence. “I was just looking for a fast ball that I could drive and get the run in, a sac fly maybe,” Thomas said. “It happened to just go over the fence. … I knew it was going off the bat. I could
Darian Baker took fifth in the long jump and Atlee’s Bennett was third in the triple jump. For the first time in years, no records were broken during the district meet, but Triemplar did not attribute that to the cooler weather. “There were some awfully good performances but there have been some awfully good athletes in this district over the years,” he said. “It’s getting to the point now where it’s tough to break those records. You really need a special performance to break them.” Triemplar was named both boys and girls Coach of the Year. Highland Springs Leon Pollard was named boys Runner of the Year and Springer Asia Smith was named Field Performer of the Year.

just tell by the way it was going, it was high, traveling. It was a good pitch and I put a good swing on it.” The challenge now for the Confederates is not being overconfident as they begin the Capital District tournament against Atlee Tuesday. “I certainly going into the post season that you want to go in on a high note. You want to have some confidence and some momentum,” Lewis said. “So I think for us, we go into the game with our top two pitchers rested, we go in with having won some ball games here at the end of the season, we’re playing good defense, we’re healthy – all I think we have to do is to tee it up Tuesday and play.” Atlee..................... 000 001 0 – 1 7 1 Lee-Davis............. 300 500 x – 8 6 0 Bolka, Maxey (3), Crowe (5) and Keeler.

Casey Price’s single to put the Confederates up 1-0. Holte walked Heinz on four pitches with two out in the fifth. “It’s different, but I really enjoy it. I like the experience. It’s something I’ve really never gotten to try,” said Heinz, who is headed to Virginia Tech. Atlee pulled even in the sixth as a result of a leadoff single by Mackenzie Keyes, a two-out single by Holte and an RBI single by Mattie Fitzgerald. Cameron Hall blooped a one-out single to right and scored the go-ahead run on another base hit by Keyes in the top of the seventh. The Raiders (15-5, 9-3) collected nine hits, including a triple by Fitzgerald and doubles by Hall and Blair Jones, and all except Hall’s blooper were stung. But on the brink of ending a long losing streak to the Confederates, Atlee let the victory get away. “We stayed focused up to
play and that set some things in motion that weren’t good,” Atlee coach John Earley said. “I just think it’s that stigma of playing Lee-Davis. They get a little nervous. They’re trying too hard, and they don’t relax.” Leading off the L-D seventh, pinch hitter Victoria Houff coaxed a walk from Holte but was thrown out at second by Holte on Becca Fields’ bunt. Heinz was up next. Had she been batting in the middle of the order she might not have gotten another plate appearance. “We got it back to the top of the lineup and that’s what I wanted,” L-D coach Jackie Davis said. “They just never give up. They kept plugging away and fighting until we were finally able to get some runners on base and take advantage of some mistakes.” Heinz hit a hard grounder to Jones at second base. Instead of throwing to first, Jones turned
running aggressively but caught between bases, slid safely under a tag attempt at third. Heinz went to second and was replaced by pinch runner Kinsee Stonebraker. Both runners scored on Lacie Madison’s hard-hit grounder that bounced off Jones’ shin and into the outfield. “[Holte] threw me inside my first three at bats so I was ready for it my last at bat,” Madison said. “I pulled my head up on the first ones and coach told me to keep my head down, so I did that.” In this week’s district tournament at Hanover, Lee-Davis plays Glen Allen and Hanover and Atlee meet. Atlee won early in the season, and Hanover won the second time even though Atlee had 13 hits (12 runners stranded).

Raiders rolling as lacrosse team enters GRLL Atlee finishes regular season with 13-1 record By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Last Tuesday, the Atlee girl’s lacrosse team wrapped up a milestone regular season by defeating Patrick Henry 13-4. The victory gave the Raiders a 13-1 record and secured the #1 seed in this week’s Greater Richmond Lacrosse League region playoffs, which began May 22. What made Atlee’s accomplishment more notable was the fact that the team is only in its second year of existence. Head coach Tom Mackay got a sense of the team’s potential last year when they reached the GRLL championship before losing to Midlothian 11-10. “We had a good year last year so I knew we had some talent and we came together more this year,” Mackay said. “I was surprised last year how well we did. We were able to build off of that for this year.” Junior attack player Lauren Winfrey said the team set loftier goals as opposed to last year’s initial enthusiasm. “At the beginning of the first year it was just exciting to get out team going.” Adding only a few new players this season, the Raiders’ lone lost came to 2011 VHSL Central Region champion Mills Godwin. “It’s almost bittersweet because I have to leave it after this year,” said senior captain Brianna Mackay. “But it’s also great that my senior year can be this much fun, so successful.” As the regular season wound to a close, Atlee was in top form. “Our last two games were our best two games,” Coach Mackay said. “We’re peaking at the right time right before the playoffs.

It’s good; they keep on improving, which is good to see.” Atlee provided ample evidence of that against Patrick Henry. After narrowly getting the win in their previous meeting, the Raiders put a damper on the Patriot’s senior night by racing out to a 12-2 first half lead. “We had a new strategy this time,” Winfrey said. “We used good defenders to cover some of their better players and we really shut them down.” Eight Atlee players scored in the first half with Winfrey providing a dominating presence on the attack, notching three goals and four assists in the first period alone. Less than two minutes ran off the game clock before Winfrey swept around the net to find Emily Smith in front of the goal for a score. “She’s one of our low attack and she keeps it moving,” Mackay said of Winfrey. “We spread out the scoring today which is pretty cool and that’s our strength. We’ve got a lot of girls that score. You can’t focus on one or two.”
The Mechanicsville Local May 23, 2012
Less than a minute and a half passed before Emiliy Oliver added to the lead on a solo score. It appeared PH may make a game of it when the Patriots answered on a goal by junior Hannah Herbert but Atlee tightened their defense and exploded on offense over the next six and half minutes. Lindsay Lloyd scored off an assist from Winfrey and Katherine Leitch made the lead 4-1 following a Patriot penalty. Winfrey added a solo score than connected again off an assist from Kelsey Kneeland. When Atlee’s leading scorer Brianna Mackay made the lead 7-1 on a solo shot with 14:48 remaining in the half, PH head coach Eric Hall had seen enough and called time. The Patriots were livelier coming out of the break and the two teams played a stalemate game for nearly seven minutes before Patrick Henry’s Sarah Adams scored off an assist from Sam Jackson. Once again, Atlee responded with a scoring burst. Winfrey connected for a
third time off an assist from Leitch then provided the assist for Mackay’s second goal of the game. “We have great chemistry on plays, just passing back and forth and knowing where the other player’s going to be,” Brianna said of Winfrey. “You can always count on her to get a goal when it’s needed.” Said Winfrey; “You just have to stay patient and watch where you’re going to pass it or shoot it and listen to the coach and call plays with confidence.” Samantha Barnitt scored for Atlee then Sarah Columbo moved the lead to 11-2, giving the Raiders three scores over a span of 1:06 minutes. As the clock wound down at the half, Smith pushed the margin to 12-2 off yet another assist from Winfrey. Kneeland pushed the Atlee margin to 13-2 in the first minute of the second period. With a substantial lead, Atlee moved into defensive mode to prevent a Patriot comeback. “We tried to get more players out there and do more ball control and kind of wear them
down,” Mackay said. “They’re a good team. It was a tight game the first game and we knew that if we let them back in the game they can make a run so we wanted to keep it out of their hands.” Without many first half scoring threats by Patrick Henry, Atlee keeper Savanah Dicken didn’t have much to do. With a concentration on defense, she stepped into the spotlight over the final period to finish the game with 10 saves. “She has come a long way this year,” Brianna Mackay said. “Freeman game she saved our butt. She’s there when we need her most.” Her coach agreed. “She just found out yesterday she was nominated for the all-star team so she’s a big goalie,” he said. “She’s won a couple of games for us. She doesn’t let easy goals in. She’s been doing it all year.” Patrick Henry’s Emily Glisson finally broke through the Raider defense for a goal with 15 minutes remaining then added the final score five minutes later. The Raiders got a day off from practice to celebrate the regular season accomplishment then it was right back to work to
prepare for the GRLL regional. “I think we just need to keep doing what we’re doing and improve together as a team,” Brianna Mackay said. “You can always get better. Instead of losing by one goal, winning this year.” Patrick Henry.................... 2 2 – 4 Atlee................................... 2 1 – 13 PH: Glisson 2, Adams, Herbert.
