Retiring VDBA leader receives ‘Key to Hanover’ At its annual Business Appreciation Week Reception on May 18, Hanover County presented a “Key to Hanover” to Preston A. Wilhelm, director of the Virginia Jobs Investment Program of the Virginia Department of Business Assistance. Wilhelm will be retiring at the end of June after serving the Commonwealth of Virginia for more than 30 years. Del. John A. Cox, R55, presented Wilhelm with the award. “In presenting the Key to Hanover to Preston Wilhelm, Hanover County is recognizing a long-time innovator in the field of economic and workforce development,” Cox said. “He is recognized and respected nationally and throughout the Commonwealth for his achievements.” Wilhelm’s service with state government began at Virginia Commonwealth University in 1964 where he taught accounting. He continued his service in the Virginia Community College System and then the Virginia Department of Economic Development. In 1996, he joined the newly created Virginia Department of Business Assistance. He also has worked in the private sector with DuPont Corporation and managed his own consulting business. In the last five years, Wilhelm has managed the Virginia Jobs Investment Program’s assistance to more than 2,550 Virginia businesses, which have supported the creation or retraining of more than 70,350 jobs. “Preston’s leadership in the areas of economic development and workforce development in the Commonwealth has led to initiatives making Virginia much more competitive in attracting new industries and encouraging existing industries’ expansions,” Marc Weiss, director of Economic

Hanover County recognized Preston Wilhelm, director of Workforce Services at the Virginia Department of Business Assistance, for his 30-plus years of service. On May 17, Gov.

Cox, R-55, on May 18.
Development for Hanover County, said. “Even more impressive is Preston’s capability to bring together these two fields to encourage innovation and ways to serve our business community more effectively.” Wilhelm, who has served on several committees throughout his years of service, received the prestigious Cardinal Award from the Virginia Economic Developers Association, which recognizes leadership in the field of economic development, outstanding professional accomplishments and exceptional service to the organization. Nationally, he has served as president of the National Association of IndustrySpecific Training Directors.

A widowed Hanover County woman found dead May 20 in the home she had shared with a companion was smothered, according to the state medical examiner’s office. Russell C. Chalkley, 48, is being held without bond and is charged with the first-degree murder of Helen A. Dickerson, whose death was disguised as a suicide, according to court documents filed last Wednesday. Dickerson, 67, was discovered after Chalkley called a relative of his about 5:30 p.m. and told her that “he had purposely smothered his girlfriend . . . and then intentionally put pills in her mouth to make it look like
a suicide,” a search warrant filed May 26 states. Hanover authorities said the relative called the county Sheriff ’s Office about 90 minutes later and that investigators then discovered Dickerson’s body inside her leased residence in the 6400 block of White Oak Ridge Drive near Cold Harbor. She was found dead on a couch with a pillow nearby “that appeared to have an indentation on it,” according to the search warrant. Dickerson was a familiar figure in the Virginia Center Commons area, where she was a former hostess at an O’Charley’s Restaurant and regularly frequented a beauty salon and drugstore.

Peyton is an IB Diploma candidate. In the community, she has served as a Foster Sister and is involved with the Service Corps at the Church of the Redeemer. Through the Service Corps, she helps elderly or disabled people with their yard and house work. She has held the office of president for the Jr. Catholic Daughters at the Church of Redeemer since she was in the ninth grade. Peyton also gives her time to the Ashland Volunteer Rescue Squad and has volunteered at Memorial Regional Medical Center during her junior and senior years of high school. She will be attending the University of Mary Washington, pursuing a major in biology or psychology, with plans of being involved in the Pre-Med program. Her goal is to attend medical school and become a doctor. Looking back on her years at Hanover High, Peyton said, “I was home schooled from third to eighth grade, so attending public high school was a big change, but I don’t regret making the decision to go. I’ve made a lot of friends, had many terrific teachers, and I feel very well prepared for the college and the future.” She said she set her sights on being “in
A former co-worker at the restaurant, Angel Glore, said Dickerson had undergone major weight-reduction surgery and was frequently accompanied by Chalkley, who at 6 feet 6 inches tall towered over her. But court records suggest a tempestuous relationship between Chalkley and Dickerson, a twice-widowed woman. Chalkley, who occasionally worked at area junkyards, had a criminal record with 11 felony convictions. Dickerson had taken out a protective order against Chalkley in early April and charged him with assault, but he was released on bond April 11, according to court records. The protective order expired in
the top 10 of the class, so I’m happy I met that goal.” “For the future,” she added, “I hope to do well in college and go on to attend MCV or the medical school at Johns Hopkins University. When I graduate, I hope to work with an organization such as Doctors Without Borders before I begin my own practice or work in a hospital.” RJ (Raymond Joseph Jr.) is the son of Ray and Ann Santucci of Mechanicsville. He is an IB Diploma candidate. A member of the Hanover Hawks Marching Band, RJ serves as drum major and saxophone section leader.

late April. Dickerson wrote on a complaint form that Chalkley had threatened to kill her, had choked her and was using her credit card without authorization. “Enough is enough,” she wrote. “I am just scared. I don’t want to be near drugs!!!” The medical examiner’s office said last Wednesday that no one has come forward to claim Dickerson’s body. Chalkley was arrested at 9:43 the night of the killing at a truck stop in Caroline County; he was sitting in a truck that contained “a female dress shirt” and a lease agreement for the White Oak Ridge Drive home. Chalkley is scheduled for a preliminary hearing in August.

He has been a member of the travel soccer team since the ninth grade and participates in church summer work camps and social outreach. Michael will be attending the University of Virginia School of Engineering. “During my high school years,” he said, “I wasn’t so concerned about my class rank, but rather I sought to do the best I could and the rest just fell into place. High school was four of the fastest years of my life, but it’s hard for me to believe it’s coming to an end. I don’t know what the future holds for me, but HHS has provided me with a solid foundation.”

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
Do we take advantage of all that is available? A friend recently asked about a visit to the Richmond area from a tourist’s perspective. The welcome mat is out and the thinking cap in place. With all the history and culture that surrounds us, do we, as residents, take advantage of what this gem of a location offers? To be honest, here’s one resident who doesn’t — and the finger of shame is firmly being shaken. Having had family in this area for more than 30 years, there were the prerequisite attractions primarily in the city during visits. These days, however, it’s more relevant to turn attention to Hanover County. A favorite spot is Historic Polegreen Church. This simple frame can speak volumes in one’s mind of the events of long ago. Executive director Chris Peace and others involved with the restoration and new Visitor’s Center have helped to create a symbol of this area’s role in our nation’s beginnings. While there is no mistaking the significance of battlefield locales, such as Cold Harbor, a wonderful experience to absorb is Patrick Henry’s Scotchtown. Covering a naturalization ceremony there in 2008 was memorable. Hanover County is honored to have the great orator as a native son. And we can’t forget Hanover Courthouse and its role in “The Parson’s Cause.” It was in 1763 that a lawyer named Patrick Henry challenged the authority of the Church of England. With that in mind, The Parsons’ Cause Foundation is preparing for its summer production. Performances are scheduled for 11 a.m. June 19, July 3, July 17, July 31 and Aug. 14. It was stirring to witness the presentation on the Fourth of July last year. These are just a few examples of the rich history we can enjoy — and share with friends. There’s no better way to spend a summer day than embracing the history of our community.
Etc. Do you have a favorite Tomato Festival story? Give us a call or send an e-mail. This is another example of what makes our county so special. Let’s share those experiences. Melody Kinser

Rating system questioned “County gets AAA rating” “Financial service upgrades Hanover to highest bond status” Isn’t there more to this than having us assume someone rode up on a big white horse announcing the good news to the Hanover County government? Isn’t there a charge for these ratings or does the rating bureaus just out of the blue give you the rating? Do we request they do it and pay them a fee and additionally pay higher bond insurance premiums to have these ratings? It must work in the same scenario as car insurance like the higher your deductible, the lower your premium. I see where one city paid $925,000 in bond insurance premiums to receive their “AAA” rating. Another paid $63,000 for their “AAA” rating, another paid $43,000 to receive theirs and still another paid $150,000 for their “AAA” rating.
I wouldn’t think we paid for it, but, just in case, how much did Hanover County pay Moody’s Financial Services for the rating and increased bond insurer premiums? (By the way, these charges above resulted in law suits against the see LETTERS, pg. 8 `

Hanover High School – Winner of the 2009 Governor’s Award for Education Excellence • The Hanover High SCA is proud to help sponsor the Hawkwatch!
Hawks’ Highlights ARCHITECTURE: Each year, the architectural students at HHS have participated in a year-long national architectural competition. The contest provides recognition to students for creative design, successful problem solving, and craftsmanship in preparing architectural drawings and renderings. This year’s design problem was to design a one-story library that is fully accessible. This year HHS students took 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the Richmond competition. Congratulations to all the architectural students and their success, specifically Miles Clark for 1st place, Jack Edwards for 2nd place, and Jason Ryan who placed 3rd.

swimming. He is ranked fifth in his class of nearly 340 students. As captain of the swim team, he won first place in the Spirit Award and placed second in the Central Region championship. Jeff has served as a project coordinator with the Hanover Youth Service Council during his high school years. The Youth Council works with the Hanover Department of Social Services in planning and executing service projects throughout Hanover County. Jeff became an Eagle Scout with Troop 555 in Mechanicsville after completing a major service project to benefit the Hospital Hospitality House. Fluent in Spanish and serving as a translator for Cross-Over Ministries, which provides free and reduced-priced health care to the Hispanic population in Richmond, Jeff is devoted to serving his community. Jefferson Scholarships are awarded by the Jefferson Scholars Foundation solely on the basis of merit. Recipients receive stipends to cover the complete cost of attending the university for four years, including tuition, room and board, books and other university-related expenses, as well as leadership training programs and foreign travel/study. The criteria for selection are demonstrated excellence and exceptional potential in the areas of leadership, scholarship, and citizenship.
The 27 Jefferson Scholarship winners were named after a rigorous selection process that began with more than 1,200 nominees from across the nation as well as international candidates. The list was pared to 101 finalists who participated in the Jefferson Scholars Selection Weekend March 24-28, from which the 27 recipients emerged. The group of 27 includes students from 13 different states and three foreign countries. The recipients are a diverse group of varsity athletes, team captains, student government officers, musicians, and thespians. Several have done independent science research, many are involved with debate, and all are involved with service to school and community. The average combined SAT score for the incoming class of Jefferson Scholars is 2260; this average includes 26 perfect scores of 800 on at least one portion of the exam and nine perfect scores of 800 on SAT II subject tests. In addition, the group has already amassed a grand total of 74 5’s on AP exams, not including the tests they will take this May as seniors. “This year the quality of the nominees was again truly exceptional, for which we offer our gratitude to the hundreds of school counselors who nominate these outstanding young people,” James H. Wright, president of the Jefferson Scholars Foundation, said. “Those selected are all devoted to the pursuit of excellence as reflected in their rich diversity of interests and backgrounds, and have the potential to benefit the University in a most substantial
Tackling issue of family slaves In 1782 a poll tax was imposed on all free males above the age of 21. A personal property tax was imposed on the number of studs, riding vehicles, slaves of all ages, horses and cattle. Females were not included in these taxes unless they were slaves. Jaime Stoops’ letter of May 19 says that free blacks may have owned their wives and children to keep the family together. But it does not make sense that a free black would list these people as slaves and pay taxes see LETTERS, pg. 13 `
way.” “Likewise we offer thanks to the nearly 700 alumni volunteers across the country who helped select the candidates. Time and again we hear from nominees that the passion for the University of Virginia shown by these alumni volunteers leaves a very positive impression about the university, regardless of the final results of the competition,” Wright added. Dating back to the beginning of the Jefferson Scholars program in 1980, more than 5,750 Jefferson Scholarship nominees have elected to attend the university without having received the Jefferson Scholarship. Over the last five years, Jefferson Scholarship nominees have comprised about nine percent of each entering class. In the life of the Jefferson Scholars program, there has been one other Hanover County student honored with this award. A fellow Atlee graduate, Jennifer Murrill, was named a Jefferson Scholar upon her acceptance to UVA in 1999. Jefferson Scholarships are designed to help the university attract the most promising student leaders in the country. Students may not apply to become Jefferson Scholars, but rather must either be nominated by their schools or identified through the admissions process. More than 3,000 schools are eligible to make nominations annually, including every secondary school in Virginia. Jeff Roberson is the son of Stewart and Leslie Roberson of Mechanicsville.

on them! He would have given them their freedom and avoided paying taxes! In “Hanover Taxpayers 1782-1815,” we find a free black named Robert Selden. In 1787 he owned two slaves; in 1791 he owned one slave; in 1795 he owned four; in 1800-1803 he owned eight slaves. The following year he owned five. If these were “family members,” why were the totals different year after year? These so-called “family members” would not have moved back and forth year after year. They were supposed to be there on the farm to “keep the family together” as Ms. Stoops likes to spin it. She seems to have a hard time believing that blacks owned slaves for profit just as whites did. Linda Tucker Mechanicsville

Relay chair shares story On June 5, 2010, the American Cancer Society will be putting on its annual Relay for Life event here in Mechanicsville. We will begin at 5 p.m. and go on until 6 a.m. on June 6 at Lee-Davis High School. This is a call of invitation to all of you Mechanicsville residents to join us for an afternoon, evening and/or overnight
of fun and celebration of life. As honorary chairperson this year for the event, I am sending out a special invitation to those of you who are fellow survivors to join me in walking the honorary Survivor’s Lap immediately following the 5p.m. Opening Ceremony. I am a three-time cancer survivor and it would be a real honor and privilege to share my continued journey with you. I can honestly tell each and every one of you I would not be here today if it were not for the support and resources the American Cancer Society provided. At age 22, with no family history, I was diagnosed with the first of three raging wars that took place inside of my body. At age 25, I was five months away from my wedding to the great love of my life when it came back the 2nd time. And I was seven months pregnant with my third child at age 32 the last. I am 40 years old now and will have been in remission for what will be eight years this July. My story is certainly an unusual one. Every doctor I know can give you no logical explanation for my survival. They will tell you what a fighter I am. They will tell you how good of care I take of myself. They will also tell you that my spirit and attitude were key components to my survival. What I remind them and anyone else that will listen … is that, although certainly some of those things play a significant role, cancer can beat even the strongest and healthiest of individuals down — and I was no exception. Without question, it was a combination of many people, many surgeries, many drugs and many other things that got me through these battles. I don’t downplay that at all. But let me tell you that not only do I credit the ACS for its extraordinary support system but also for its research programs. Its resources
connected me with two clinical trials that we might not otherwise have ever known about. Facing a 10 percent chance of survival, those trials saved my life. With each birthday that passes, I continue to worry that it just might be my last. When other people are crying because they don’t want to turn 30, 40, 50, etc., I am out celebrating my birthday like nobody’s business. I know that I am not alone and that there are many of you who share that same feeling. I would really love to meet you. Please join us for this wonderful celebration. I invite you to join me in walking the Survivor Lap, immediately followed by a survivor’s reception. I promise you that you will find it exhilarating to hear people clap and cheer like they do in support of you. I know that for me it feels like you have just come home from winning a war, which, in my opinion, we have. Once you go to this event and you experience either being or seeing all of those survivors walking that survivor lap, if you should choose to stay, to join or watch all of their supporters walking over the next 12 hours, you will experience a whole new kind of teamwork. In addition, when you see all those luminary lights at 9 o’clock that are spread around the track in memory of all those loved and lost, or in honor of those who are currently battling, or those who have beaten this undiscriminating disease, by the time the sun comes up, your heart will open up in ways you never imagined.

Anthony, who is known as “Ms. Lil� to store customers. Erica Sinclair, a customer service manager, escorted Anthony and fellow co-workers to the break room, where, without her knowledge, family members were waiting. When Anthony entered, she saw a chocolate cake with two candles – the numbers 89 – lit in anticipation of a birthday wish. The festively decorated cake was placed in front of a colorful spring arrangement of flowers. Anthony has been a familiar face at Food Lion since 1988, when, she said, “I was sitting at the house by myself. I told my daughter ‘I’m going to find a job part-time.’ I came down here and they put me to work.� Wearing her trademark “Ms. Lil� name tag, she said “I like the job. I enjoy it.� Through the years, she has adapted to the changes with technology, referring to “these new fandangled things.� Brenda said the store installed a new computer system about two years ago and she didn’t know if her mother would embrace it. “I told them you can’t teach an old dog new tricks,� Anthony said, with a grin. “She learned the new system,� Brenda said, “and the rest is history.� “I’ve had a very good life,� Anthony said. “I can’t complain about anything.

She said they first met in 1967 and continue a mother-daughter type relationship. “We’ve never had a harsh word or a disagreement.� Anthony has five grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. To them, she is Nanny Rose. Brenda said her brother Bob had a friend in the 1970s who started calling Anthony Rose. The name stuck and when she became a grandmother, Nanny was added. Hunter said he thought Rose was her name for the longest time. Anthony has a bit of celebrity status in Mechanicsville due to her tenure at the Food Lion. Brenda recalled an incident in Cancun, Mexico, where someone overheard her talking about her mother and responded, “Your mom is Ms. Lil.� Customers can expect to see her at the checkout about 16 hours a week. “I work all they give me,� Anthony said. With pride, Brenda points out that her mom “drives herself here and drives herself home.� “This job is fun – that’s exactly what I get out of it,� Anthony said. A Mechanicsville resident, Anthony was born in King William County but made her home in Caroline County most of her life. She has five children: William Mitchell, who is retired from the Richmond City Police Department; Mildred Spiggle, an employee of Hanover County Parks and Recreation Department; Robert Mitchell, a school administrator for a bi-
lingual school in the Kingdom of Bahrain in the Middle East; Brenda Philbin, a school administrator for Chesterfield Public Schools; and Bobby Mitchell, a project accountant for a large architectural and engineering company in Richmond. She is a member of the Pole Green Christian Church and enjoys tending to her flowers during the spring and summer months. Anthony delights in sharing stories of growing up in a home with 11 children on a farm in the 1920s and 1930s.

Her hobbies include working puzzles and Word Search. With son Robert working in the Middle East, Anthony traveled to Bahrain to visit him. In 2008, she had the pleasure of meeting several members of the royal family of Bahrain during their visit to the United States.

‘Picture Me Alcohol Free’ targets underage drinking A special photo exhibit and interactive media presentation to be held from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday, June 3, in the library at Hanover High School will illustrate how a group of young people view the negative effects of underage drinking on our community. “Picture Me Alcohol Free!” is an initiative of Teens CARE Too and 7th Up. Teens CARE Too is a youth-led group of teenagers interested in promoting wellness and healthy choices; 7th Up consists of students from Atlee and Hanover High Schools who share anti-substance abuse messages with middle-schoolers. Also helping Teens CARE Too and 7th Up in this effort is Dr. Melodie Fearnow-Kenney, a developmental psychologist employed by Prevention Strategies. Dr. Fearnow-Kenney is a specialist in the area of teen alcohol and drug use and was a participant in Hanover’s Prevention Summit last fall.

Mr. Atkins’ letter in the May 26 edition of the Local. I haven’t travelled quite as extensively as Mr. Atkins, but I’ve been to many CentralAmerican and Caribbean countries. I too have never entered one of those countries without having to present my passport. In many of those countries, when you check in to your hotel, you have to show your passport as well. Beyond that, I have never been asked for my papers. I have had contact with local police in nearly every one of those countries, and even though my pasty skin, Anglo features and dripping drawl made it obvious that I wasn’t a local, not once was I asked for my papers. However, note that I have never (and I imagine Mr. Atkins has never) entered a foreign country except at an entry portal at an airport or manned border crossing, and my contact with the gendarmes was casual,
“Picture Me Alcohol Free!” uses a unique strategy called photo voice in which artists use photography to document social issues. Easels with 11x17 photos taken by a Teens CARE Too member will show how the teens view alcohol and drug abuse in the community. Accompanying the photo exhibit will be a DVD produced by 7th Up about why they choose to be alcohol-free and why they choose “natural highs” instead. “Hanover is the first county in the nation to develop a project like this focused on underage drinking,” Martha Lambert, coordinator of Community Education for Hanover Community Services, said. The project is funded through a grant from the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. For more information, call Lambert at 3654228.
i.e. asking directions. If I had climbed a fence or swam ashore, I could have moved pretty freely and lived quite comfortably in those countries without immigration papers — all the shopkeepers and restaurant owners care about is the color of my cash or that my MasterCard is accepted. A man with a good sailboat and a fat savings account can spend years bouncing around the Caribbean from country to country without showing papers. (Hence my dream of buying a sailboat to live aboard when I retire …) It’s not that we do the immigration dance so poorly; in point of fact we do it at least as well as any of our neighbors. It’s that we have a unique situation of a cheap-and-dirty-labor vacuum, a long and easilycrossed border, and a tradition of welcoming those seeking a better life. Do we need to get the problem under control? Absolutely! But we must do it in a way that conforms to our laws and
remains fair and equitable. The new Arizona approach does not meet those criteria in any way — the original law and the follow-up associated laws and executive edicts are careless, heartless and racist. However, I think Arizona’s fooraw *has* done what it was at least initially intended to do, which was to be a squeaky wheel on the issue. The problem is that the only real fix to this particular immigration problem — stop the supply of jobs for illegals, without which there will be nothing to draw them across our borders — is anathema to the narrow-minded conservatives. So they fall back on the staple of the redneck mindset: threats and scare tactics. Yeah, that’ll work. So, Mr. Atkins, us Democrats will continue to strongly oppose Arizona’s approach to the problem. Calling this approach “common sense” proves again the contention that good sense is never common. Steve Sneed Mechanicsville

County native receives award for credit union service excellence A Hanover County native has been named the recipient of the Virginia Credit Union League’s prestigious Eugene H. Farley Jr. Award of Excellence for her service to the state and national credit union communities. Jane Watkins, president and CEO of the Virginia Credit Union, received the honor on May 7 at the league’s 76th Annual Meeting in Reston. The Eugene H. Farley Jr. Award of Excellence is given annually to a credit union professional or volunteer official in recognition of his or her outstanding contributions to an individual credit union or to the credit union movement. In particular, the award seeks to recognize achievements that exemplify credit unions’ “People Helping People” philosophy. It is named in honor of retired league president Eugene Farley, who served the league and Virginia’s credit unions for more than 40 years until his retirement in 1999. Watkins joined Virginia
Credit Union in 1982 as its accounting manager. Named president in 2000, she has guided Virginia Credit Union through a period of dramatic growth, while adhering to the sound principles that have kept credit unions strong at a time when nearly all sectors of the

economy have been severely challenged. Virginia Credit Union, now the largest state-chartered credit union in Virginia, has grown from $629 million to $1.9 billion in assets under her leadership. The number of credit union members has grown from
125,000 to almost 200,000. “I’m proud of the way our credit union has grown, certainly, but the greatest satisfaction comes when I hear success stories directly from our members,” Watkins said. “I love to hear from members who have discovered the value of saving, rebuilt their credit, or bought their first car with the credit union’s help. These stories demonstrate the positive difference we have made for our members. And I’m proud of the way we’ve expanded services and technology while continuing to offer simple, uncomplicated solutions for our members that help them get ahead. Like a lot of credit unions, we have built a culture that is focused on the best interests of our members and therefore our members view us as a trusted resource.” A recognized leader in statechartered credit union issues, serving on state and national committees that deal with such matters, she also has become a key advocate for Virginia’s credit unions with members
JANE WATKINS
of Congress and the Virginia General Assembly. “Credit Unions were created by law, and the way we serve our members can be improved or harmed by the legal and regulatory environment in which we operate,” she said. “I think it is vital that lawmakers understand the work we do on behalf of our members and the difference being part of a cooperative can make in helping our members to get ahead. I feel legislators want to do the right thing but they desperately need good information to make good choices.” see AWARD, pg. 19 `

Public Utilities worker named Operator of Year Brooks Dandridge of the Hanover County Department of Public Utilities (DPU) has been named Wastewater Operator of the Year by the Virginia Rural Water Association (VRWA). Dandridge is an apprentice operator at the Ashland Wastewater Treatment Plant. Among his duties are collecting and analyzing data that ensures the plant complies with all requirements. He has independently made various repairs and improvements to the plant and can manage operations during challenging high-flow periods. Thanks to the work of Dandridge and the rest of its small but proficient staff, the Ashland WWTP received the prestigious Burke Award from the Water Environment Federation (WEF) and the Virginia Water Environment Association (VWEA) last year. The Ashland WWTP was the only facility in the Commonwealth to receive the Burke Award in 2009. The plant also received the Platinum Award from the National Association of Clean Water
Agencies last year. “Brook’s work ethic and a strong ‘team-effort’ approach have enabled the Ashland WWTP staff to continue to accomplish its goals, requirements and compliance with the plant’s VPDES permit with very limited staffing,” plant superintendent Kim Spruth said. “He shows a genuine interest in the wastewater field as indicated by his performance, willingness to learn and the desire to continue to further his knowledge and apply it directly to his job functions and the Ashland WWTP operations.” zDandridge said he was “speechless” when he learned of the award. “I thought it was a trick,” he said with a laugh. Dandridge has been with Hanover DPU since August 2005. In April 2006 he transferred from his position as a utility technician in the Maintenance Division to operator in training at the Ashland WWTP. He received his Class III Wastewater license in September 2009 and was promoted to apprentice operator in

in 2004. “The accomplishments of Brooks, Tim and Dayna, with the leadership of Kim, demonstrate how the department’s mission of being environmentally responsible is translated into day-to-day actions,” Frank Harksen, director of Public Utilities, said. “We are all proud of the accomplishments of Brooks and the other Ashland plant staff and their committed efforts to Hanover County.” Founded in 1987, VRWA is a private, non-profit association whose voting members are small municipal and rural water and wastewater systems across the Commonwealth.

October 2009. “This is the best job I’ve ever had,” he said. “Kim gives you responsibilities but allows you to tackle projects on your own and I love that. It’s a very positive environment in which to work.” His current goal is to earn the position of journeyman operator. He is studying for his Class II license from the Department of Environmental Quality, a four-hour exam that he hopes to take in the next month. He ultimately would like to work his way up to master operator. A Hanover native, Dandridge graduated from Lee-Davis High School in 2000. He received his electronics engineering degree from I.T.T. Technical Institute in Chesterfield County in 2002. Dandridge is the second Ashland WWTP staffer to win the VRWA’s “Wastewater Operator of the Year” award; Tim Locklerr won it in 2006. Dayna Sonovick was the VRWA’s “Rookie of the Year”

Filipino Festival to feature drama Philippine Independence Day Celebration, which is celebrated on June 12, has been recognized by the Commonwealth of Virginia. The Philippines was America’s first colony for 50 years from 1898 until after World War 11 in 1946 when the U.S. left voluntarily and the Philippines became known as the Republic of the Philippines. To celebrate this event in Richmond, the Richmond Pilipino Class (Philippine Language and Culture program) will be presenting a musical drama about the events leading to Philippine independence. Other cities in Virginia will be having their own celebration. This is the only cultural celebration in Richmond. The Richmond Pilipino Class, a volunteer cultural program available to children and adults free of charge, was organized in 2005 by Mechancsville residents Maria Cielo Sinsioco and Ernesto Mina. It offers language, history, music, drama and dance. Classes are held biweekly on Friday evenings at Our Lady of Lourdes 8200 Woodman Road in Richmond. Volunteers and stu-

dents coming from the Metro-Richmond area also are involved in the annual Filipino Festival and present traditional Philippine dances in the day-long event. This year, this festival, which is the only Philippine food and cultural festival in Central Virginia, will be held on Aug. 14, at Our Lady of Lourdes. To raise funds for the children’s costumes for the coming Filipino Festival, the Richmond Pilipino Class is presenting the musical drama “KALAYAAN: Joe Dimaapi, Who am I?” (FREEDOM: Joe Dimaapi, Who am I?” at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, June 5, at Our Lady of Lourdes Social Hall. It is about a Richmond teen’s journey through history to understand his Philippine heritage. The lead role of Joe Dimaapi is played by Joe Weggen, a junior at Atlee High School. Joe, like the character he is portraying, is of mixed heritage. His mother Jennifer is Filipino and his father James is Caucasian. There are several American youth like Joe in the area who want to know more about their Philippine heritage.
This presentation, while helpful to the young generation of Filipino-Americans born and raised here in Virginia, also will help promote awareness and understanding of the Philippine culture in the diverse metro-Richmond area. Other Hanover students participating in the musical drama are: high school students Nick Weggen, Atlee High School, and Maria Lyn Hunley , Lee-Davis High School; and younger students Jon Eugenio, Jan Marie Eugenio, Arlee Liangco, Gina Lyn Hunley and Grayle Hunley. Other Mechanicsville residents involved in the play production are Jennifer Weggen, technology; Myrlina Hunley costumes; Ernesto Mina, sounds; and Maria Cielo Sinsioco, scriptwriter and director. Special musical performances also will be provided by Laura Gonzalez, 2006 Richmond Idol and an Atlee graduate; Dale Mina, Hanover High School graduate; and Richmond’s “singing doctor,” Dr. Conrad Gonzalez. Doors open at 6:45 p.m., with singing scheduled to start at 7 p.m.

WHEN IT COMES TO
ANEURYSM MINUTES MATTER. Cerebral Aneurysms occur when abnormal blood vessels in the brain break and leak blood into the brain. This causes a stroke and can lead to death quickly.
This condition requires the expertise of specialty trained surgeons, radiologists and nurses.

Forty middle school students from the People to People Student Ambassador program recently worked on service project to assist local humane societies. The students represent the four major school divisions: Hanover, Henrico, Chesterfield and Richmond. Using Hanover Humane’s “Wish List,” the delegates worked independently to pull together cleaning supplies, food, treats, etc., that could be donated to Hanover Humane for the animals in its adoption program. In addition to providing boarding, grooming and dog training services, the Hanover Humane Society, located in Ashland, provides adoptions for homeless animals, education on responsible pet ownership, and Wellness Clinic and reduced spay/neuter services for the community.

Catholic Daughters raise funds for Loaves and Fishes $1,000 designated from Church of Redeemer event Loaves and Fishes, an organization that provides meals in need in the Richmond area, is the beneficiary of $1,000, half of the proceeds from a Fashion Show presented on April 25 by the Catholic Daughters of Church of Redeemer. The other half of the monies raised goes to CDA (Catholic Daughters of the Americas) activities and scholarships. Coordinating the event was Chris Lippman, who had a team helping her including: CDA Angels, Jr. CDA, Maynard Belongia, who played piano, Frank Baker and
the kitchen staff, who cooked a tasty meal, Girl Scout Troop 949 and others, who contributed door prizes, baked cakes and sold tickets. Purse favors for the occasion were created by Betty Carter. The afternoon began with music, appetizers and raffle tickets to purchase. All three of the church’s Masses were represented, with parishioners taking the time to “catch up” with fellow churchgoers they may not have seen in some time. Models from Redeemer showed off clothes provided by Peebles Department Store Photos submitted by Sheila Talley in Ashland. A “Heavenly Fashions” Show on April 25 at the Church of the Information supplied by Redeemer raised $1,000 to help Loaves and Fishes and other Sheila Talley. projects of the Catholic Daughters.

battle’s anniversary To mark the 146th anniversary of the battle of Cold Harbor, commemorative events, living history demonstrations, and battlefield programs and walking tours will be held Saturday and Sunday, June 5-6, at the Cold Harbor unit of Richmond National Battlefield Park at 5515 Anderson-Wright Road in Mechanicsville. Admission is free of charge. On June 3, 1864, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant ordered his Union Army of the Potomac to attack Confederate Gen. Robert E Lee’s heavily fortified position along a seven-mile front just east of Richmond.
For more details, go to www.mechlocal.com
The Union attack was quickly repulsed amid staggering casualties, with the Federal troops suffering as many as 6,000 casualties during the day, as many as half of those falling in the first hour of battle. Grant would later remark that he regretted the assault at Cold Harbor more than any other he ordered during the war. For more information, call the Richmond National Battlefield Park at 226-1981.

Squirrels support Challenger division “The Richmond Flying Squirrels really care about their fans!” That was the statement made by many on a recent Saturday when members of the Mechanicsville Little League (MLL) Challenger division and some 400 other Mechanicsville Little League fans attended the Richmond Flying Squirrels baseball game. The MLL Challenger Division enables children ages 5-22 with intellectual and physical “challenges” the opportunity to enjoy and play the game of baseball. This year, team members used a variety of fundraising initiatives to raise money for their annual trip to the Challenger World Series Tournament in Virginia Beach. The tournament hosts more than 50 Challenger teams of all abilities in a weekend of playing baseball. For many of these players and their families, it is the only time they get to travel and it is one of the few, if not the only, opportunities team members have to play in a travel tournament within an organized sport. This event is considered the highlight of the season for MLL Challenger players. “The Richmond Flying Squirrels recognize the importance of all children being able to watch and play baseball, regardless of the individual’s limitations” Patty McGann, MLL Challenger director, said. “I approached the Richmond Flying Squirrels to inform them of this special tournament and asked if they could help.

Quiet Riefner Roars!
By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Somehow the Capital District voters overlooked Atlee sophomore Ashley Riefner. When the All-District teams were announced prior to the district tournament, Riefner’s name was inexplicably placed among the members of the second team rather than the first as most people expected. Perhaps it was her diminutive size or quiet nature. Perhaps it was the fact that Atlee had already taken up nearly half of the first team slots. But one thing for certain, it could not have been because of the way
she played the game of soccer. “She is a first team (member),” said Atlee head coach Bruce Lovelace. “She’s the best player on the team.” Lovelace had no explanation for why Riefner did not get the recognition she deserved. “I don’t vote. All I can do is promote,” he said. “Obviously I didn’t promote enough because I thought she was first team and I presented her well. I don’t know what happened.” Even Lee-Davis head coach Brad Davis was left scratching his head. “I feel bad for her because she’s one of the best players in the district,” he said.
“It’s a shame.” And while the snub was perhaps grounds for a vocal outburst, Riefner merely responded in a way that would grab more attention, by scoring six goals in Atlee’s two Capital District see RIEFNER, pg. 35 ` Charlie Leffler/The Local
Atlee sophomore Ashley Riefner, left, boots a shot at goal as Lee-Davis’ Kristen Napier comes in to defend. To the puzzlement of the Atlee and Lee-Davis coaches, Riefner was designated to the All-District second team instead of first team. Riefner silenced any critics by scoring four goals in Atlee’s 9-2 district championship win.

Confederate defense shuts out Atlee 4-0 By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com As the Lee-Davis boys soccer team took the field for the Capital District championship on Thursday night at Hanover, their thoughts went back to year’s past. In 2009, the C-feds came into the title game as the #1 seed and favorite to win the tournament only to be upset by Atlee. Charlie Leffler/The Local
www.mechlocal.com See slideshow online!
Lee-Davis’ Antonio DeOliveira (9) celebrates and early game score after sneaking a shot in goal. But it was the LeeDavis defense that turned in a stalwart effort in the 4-0 championship shutout of Atlee.
In 2008, Lee-Davis looked to be in good position to win only to be thwarted by a late game Atlee goal. Therefore facing the Raiders for the third time in the same situation, the C-feds were determined not to let the outcome be the same. Lee-Davis head coach Ed Kidder said he did not have to remind his players of last year to get them fired up. “They still remember that game,” he said. “We didn’t have to point it out. They remember how they felt leaving the field.” “We were thinking about it in the back of our heads,” said
Lee-Davis senior captain and district player of the year Caleb Lewis. “They’ve beaten us twice the last two years and we came out here a lot more aggressive, ready to play, ready to take home the district tournament.” And in a typically aggressive game between the two schools, the third time appeared to be the charm for the C-feds as their strong defense repeatedly repelled Atlee attacks and allowed Lee-Davis to take the win 4-0. Senior captain Antonio DeOliveria struck early for the C-feds, scoring in the sixth

In the district tournament championship game, Heinz racked up seven RBIs against Hanover, leading the Confederates to another title 11-2. “It was a great win for the team,” said Lee-Davis coach Jackie Davis. “This was a total team effort and the defense really backed up Kelly on the mound. We’ll enjoy this for a little while, but then it’s back to work and getting ready for the regionals against (JR) Tucker next week.” The Confederates set the tone early on the Hanover High School field, scoring four runs in the opening inning against Hanover starting pitcher Shannon Albright. Lacie Madison began the barrage with a single and scored on an Amanda Parker triple. The C-feds followed that up with three consecutive doubles by Meredith Holmes, Taylor Melton and Casey Price. Heinz
then singled to score Price, giving the C-Feds a 4-0 advantage with one inning complete. “They jumped all over us,” said Hanover coach Chris Pace. “They got better each time we played them this season. They’re a lean, mean softball machine. The region better look out.” In the second inning it was Madison again leading off with a single. Melton reached on a blooper that dropped in and Price singled while Madison scored on a passed ball. Then it was Heinz turn to cut loose at the plate by blasting a three-run homer over the center field fence. “It makes my job much easier when we score runs like that,” Heinz said. “The defense backed me up all night and we hit the ball, so it was a great win.” Commenting on her prowess at the plate, Heinz said the two homers felt “amazing.” The Hawks got on the board in top of the third inning when Erica Barrett singled in Shannon Kirby. Hanover added another in the fifth. The 8-0 lead after two innings was more than enough for Heinz to go on the attack
from the circle and she got stronger as the game progressed. “When Kelly is pitching with a lead, she’s able to bear down a little bit more,” Davis said. Heinz removed any remaining doubts about the outcome in the sixth when she again ripped a long fly ball that cleared the wall for her second three-run homer of the evening. “She was just too much for us tonight,” Pace said. “We felt pretty good coming in about our chances, but she was just too good tonight. She put the ball wherever she wanted to and had total control, not to mention the great defense that was working behind her. If she’s not the best pitcher in the region, she’s surely among them. Both teams move on to regional play on Tuesday evening with the Hawks traveling to Patrick Henry and Lee-Davis hosting J.R. Tucker. Lee-Davis enters the tournament with its first 20-win season in recent memory. “That’s a big accomplishment and the first time it’s happened since I’ve been here,” said Davis, who has recorded one of the most
consistent winning records in Capital District history. She was named Capital District coach of the year for her efforts with this year’s squad, but Davis is focused on other things. “As long as the girls keep winning and playing this kind of softball, the other stuff really doesn’t matter,” she said regarding the district honor. Confederate junior Meredith Holmes was named Capital District Player of the Year, making it a clean sweep for the Confederates. Davis said the team set goals early in the season and has worked hard to achieve them. Now it’s time to finish the mission. “We definitely are looking to moving on further and aren’t satisfied with what we’ve done so far. We need to carry this momentum in to the regionals,” she said. “This team has played great all year long and we’re not finished yet. I just hope we can continue this type of play.” Hanover............. 001 010 0— 2 6 0 Lee-Davis.........440 003 x— 11 12 1 Albright, Barrett (1) and Smith; Heinz and Cattrell.

Lee-Davis’ Kelly Heinz was unstoppable on the mound for the Confederates. Heinz followed a complete game shutout of Atlee in the district semifinals by limiting Hanover to two runs in the championship. Heinz capped the tournament win with a pair of three-run homers against the Hawks.
Mayers gets suspended sentence
one count of petty larceny and trespassing. Richmond General District Judge Phillip L. Hairston sentenced them to 12 months in jail for each of the charges but suspended all of the prison time and ordered each defendant to pay $623.75 in restitution. A hearing for a fourth defendant, Blake Geiger, was continued until June 18. Richmond Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Colette McEachin said the stolen items were valued at more than $5,000 and included an Xbox 360 video-game console,
video-game controllers, a digital camera, DVDs, cash and a GPS device. “Everything a young adult male would want — like shopping at hhgregg,” McEachin said. Items were stolen from unlocked dorm rooms, McEachin said, and in at least one case, a window screen was removed. A student reported seeing Geiger and Mayers, his roommate, checking door handles in Dennis Hall about 1:30 a.m. March 8, McEachin said. Three
hours later, she said, police stopped them carrying a bag of quarters, an Xbox controller and a game, but they did not arrest them. Geiger, Lowry and Mayers were suspended from the team after their arrests in March on charges of grand larceny and burglary, both felonies. Mayers was last year’s Central Region player of the year at Hanover High School and the Richmond Times-Dispatch player of the year. Lowry’s attorney, Esther Windmueller, told Hairston that
her client was from a military family and had been an honors student in high school. Lowry has withdrawn from UR and is enrolled at Northern Virginia Community College. “He’s never been in trouble in his life,” Windmueller said, adding: “This was a drunken, one-night, very, very, very stupid thing.” She asked the judge to continue the matter for one year and remove the charges from his record if he were to comply with certain conditions, but the judge refused.

#4 seed Henrico runs to district championship By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local Sometimes tournament seeding doesn’t mean all that much. Henrico, seeded fourth in the Capital District baseball tournament, put together the ideal package – great pitching, stellar defense and clutch hitting – and as a result picked up its second upset as well as the tournament championship with a 7-1 victory over host and third-seed Hanover Thursday night. The Warriors had eliminated the top seed, Lee-Davis, on Tuesday with an 8-3 victory. One of the primary reasons for Henrico’s victory was pitcher Paul Bateera, who mixed his pitches well and nibbled away at the corners of the strike zone. He pitched a complete game, holding the Hawks to five hits and giving up no walks. “Usually, I have a four pitch arsenal: fastball – four-seam fastball – changeup, curve ball, and a slider,” Bateera said. “Today … I mixed it up and threw a two-seam just to get more movement on the ball and to keep the batters off-balance. Usually, I’m more of a finesse pitcher, I really work on my offspeed stuff. … Today we threw a lot of fastballs.” Bateera could not win the game all by himself, however. Fortunately for him, he had plenty of help from his teammates. “Beautiful defense,” Bateera said. “Being a pitcher that can’t strike everybody out, I rely a lot on my defense, on my outfielders and my infielders. Landon Prentiss at shortstop made some beautiful plays. Mike [Mansfield], in the first inning I think, made a great diving stop and still threw the guy out. Nick Holmes in centerfield – that’s usually where I play when I’m not pitching – really stepped
in big and really made a lot of plays. I was able to pitch such a great game because I knew I had a defense behind me.” Prentiss, third baseman Mansfield and Holmes weren’t the only Warriors receiving praise. Henrico coach Ken Schrad had plenty of praise for all of his players after the game. Henrico (14-8) made an improved defense a priority. “We sort of set it as our goal,” Schrad said. “The first time we played Hanover, we made four errors and lost 61. The second time we played them, we made five errors and lost 11-7. We were hoping they got back to the championship game because our whole focus was that they hadn’t seen us at our best yet.” Hanover coach Charlie Dragum said facing Henrico Thursday was like playing the New York Yankees. “I thought that was the bestplayed game as far as them,” Dragum said. “We didn’t play bad, but I thought the Henrico Warriors played as well as any high school team I’ve ever seen for seven innings.” The lack of run production by the Hawks (17-5) was not for any lack of contact. “We hit the ball hard all night long,” Dragum said. “We hit it as hard as we’ve ever hit it tonight. I don’t know how many hits we ended with, but they just consistently made great plays. … We hit, I don’t know, ten balls right on the screws, but had nothing to show for it. I take my hat off to them. They earned it.” Ironically, the only Henrico error was by Bateera himself in the second inning. He had given up an opening single to Andrew Knizner, then was off target when trying to pick Knizner off at first. Knizner advanced to second on the throw. One out later, Zach Broaddus sin-
gled Knizner to third. Knizner scored on a fielder’s choice by Lew Johnson. “I was the one who made a bad throw,” Bateera said. “That was the only blemish that we had – me on the mound – and I had pitched a great game. That shows that there’s always stuff to work on.” Hanover starting pitcher Jacob Smith got the first two Henrico batters out, but he gave up consecutive singles to Jordan Doggett and Mansfield. Prentiss doubled the pair in. In the third inning, Smith walked designated hitter Treyvon Robinson. Bateera doubled him home. Hanover brought Chris Childress in to relieve Smith, but Childress gave up a single to Doggett. Bateera held at third. Two outs later, Andrew Props singled Skip Rowland for The Local home Bateera and Doggett. Props reached third on a single Hanoverís Bryant Lowery, right, and Henrico catcher Andrew Props follow a high pop up fly that see HENRICO, pg. 36 `

CENTRAL REGION TRACK
Strong finish enables Atlee to take Patrick Henry edges Deep Run for second at Sports Backers first place in team competition By Weldon Bradshaw Media General News Services His work was done. Now, in the gathering twilight at Sports Backers Stadium yesterday, all Quintin Fulgham could do was enjoy his four victories in the Central Region track and field championship, work through his fatigue and wait. The 6-0, 165-pound Thomas Dale senior won the 100, 200, long jump, and triple jump and anchored the sixth-place 400 relay team, and it would be just a matter of time before he and his teammates learned if they’d hold on for the overall title. “He’s whupped,” said Knights sprint coach Kevin Coffey as his protégé walked on wobbly legs to the water cooler following his final race, the 200, where his victory by .02 gave Dale a onepoint lead over Atlee with two events to go. “He put in 100 percent. No more. No less. He’s reaped the rewards.” Alas, Fulgham’s 40 individual points weren’t enough. The Raiders claimed the top spot with 79 points, 20 ahead of the runner-up Knights, thanks to a strong finish in which Andrew Catanese, Wes Steenburgh and Andy Hesse went 3-5-8 in the 3,200 and their 1,600 relay team (Michael Atkinson, Shaowei Tu, Matt Combs and Marques Atkinson) placed second. “What makes me proud is that we scored in a lot of areas,” said Jim Triemplar, Atlee’s veteran coach. “That makes it a team achievement.” The Raiders won only two events, the 3,200 relay on Day 1 and the 300 hurdles (Marques Atkinson). “I was in the outside lane, so I had to go out hard,” said Atkinson, who also anchored the 3,200 and 1,600 relays. “I didn’t

want the guys on the inside to get to the break before I did. “Then, in the last, like, 20 meters, I was clipping hurdles, and my steps were off, but I got through the race. “Honestly, this was for team points. I like winning individual events, but I’m more worried about helping the team.” Fulgham was voted the meet’s outstanding field event performer. “I dug deep and prayed,” he said moments after his final race. “It’s 10 team points. “It feels pretty good that I helped my team out.” James River’s Ted Richardson,
the region and Group AAA cross country champion, outran strong fields to win the 1,600 and 3,200 and was selected the meet’s outstanding runner. “I was trying to go out hard and run even splits,” said Richardson after his 1,600 victory in which he ran his 400s in 63, 68, 64 and 65. “This was big for me because everybody looks at me as a 2miler. “I’m happy with the win, and I’m content with the time [4:19.58].” Weldon Bradshaw is a special correspondent for the Richmond Times Dispatch.

By Arthur Utley Media General News Services Field events are the strength of the Thomas Dale girls track team. When Kortney Williams produced a personal best and won the shot put Wednesday on the first day of the Central Region meet at Sports Backers Stadium, she ignited a team effort that culminated in a first region championship for the Knights girls. “I don’t have the words for this,” Thomas Dale coach Dick Anthony said. “I thought we had a chance if we performed well, but we performed better than well. We scored where we could score and got points from everyone.“ Thomas Dale finished with 75 points. Patrick Henry (51.5) edged Deep Run by half a point for second. The Knights won just two events – Williams and freshman April Wilson in the 400 – but junior Sarah Fulgham collected points in the triple jump, long jump, high jump, 4 x 100 relay and the 100 dash. Kristen Greene scored in the shot and discus. Katea Jemmott scored in multiple events. “It surprised me when I won the shot,” said Williams, who also scored in the discus. Dale’s victory did not surprise Jemmott, a senior. “We put in the hard work and the effort. We knew we could do something this year and go out with a bang. We weren’t cocky, just confident,” she said. The Knights’ followed up Wilson’s victory in the 400 with a second in the next race, the 4 x 100. Running Wilson in the race “was huge,” Anthony said. The team consisted of a freshman,

sophomore (Mariah Taliaferro), junior (Fulgham) and senior (Jemmott). Tori Cunningham of Meadowbrook was the voted the meet’s outstanding runner. She won the 100 and 200 and ran the third leg on the winning 4 x 100 team. Nikki Nunn of Manchester was the top field events performer. She won the long jump on Wednesday (18103.4) and won the triple jump yesterday (36-81.2). Nunn has won one or the other (she won the long jump last year) in previous region meets. This was the first time she’s won both. “I couldn’t end my [region] career any better,” Nunn said. “I couldn’t get them together before.“ The warm weather suited Nunn, who has had hamstring trouble before but not this year. “My hamstrings were all
warmed up, and I think that contributed to my speed,” Nunn said. Three meet records fell yesterday. Kathleen Lautzenheiser of Midlothian and Courtney Dobbs dueled to the last two steps in the 1,600. Lautzenheiser won in 4:59.55. Dobbs was second in 4:59.62. Both broke the previous record held by Courtlin LeReau of Deep Run. Madalyn Nuckols of Deep Run (10:56.65) broke Lautzenheiser’s record with a victory in the 3,200. Patrick Henry’s Lizzie Powell clipped her record in the pole vault. She cleared 12-3, two inches better than the mark she set last year. She made three attempts at 12-9, but before doing so, she ran a leg in the 4 x 100. The see TRACK, pg. 36 `
Deschner take bronze

Ten-year-old fencer Stefani Deshner, back right, took bronze and is currently ranked fourth in the country.
She is not quite Joan of Arc, but this 10-year-old goldilocks has become exceptionally good at the art of the sword in a short amount of time. Stefani Deschner began taking fencing classes at Mechanicville Fencing Academy a year and a half ago. But in the last six months she told her coach, Bobby Robinson, that she was ready to take it serious. With zeal in her heart, Stefani began to work several nights a week at the fencing club honing her skills. She developed a deadly long ranged attack sequence that she could quickly shift into defense. She and her coach worked on it
until the timing was perfect and her accuracy fatal. She traveled all over the country attending as many youth national tournaments as she could. Within that time she has defeated the first and third highest ranked girls in her age group. At her last national tournament in Virginia Beach, Stefani fought her way through the ranks and claimed the bronze metal. Stefani is now ranked fourth in the county in the 10-year-old age group. Coaches across the county have pegged her as the girl to beat. Congrats Stef!! Submitted by Bobby Robinson..

The Atlee sophomore then blistered a shot past Dover from mid center for a 1-0 lead. The Confederates knotted the game a 1-1 four minutes later on a penalty kick from Liz Donnini. But less than three minutes passed before Reifner struck again, lofting a shot from 30 yards out that dropped over Dover and into the goal for a 2-1 lead. Two minutes passed and it was Reifner again on the attack as Dover ran out to defend. Reifner used her chest to bump the ball past the keeper into open territory for an easy boot to the net.

Lichter, a junior from Richmond, Va., is coming off his best season in an R-MC uniform. Lichter was named to the All-ODAC First Team and led the Yellow Jackets with a .433 batting average, which ranked fifth in the ODAC and is the sixth best single season mark in school history. Lichter posted a .531 on base percentage, which was the second best in the conference. Lichter belted two homeruns, while his 11 doubles was the fifth most in a single season history and his 52 hits ranks sixth all-time. Submitted by R-MC.

Lovelace said Reifner’s scoring did not come from Dover misplaying the ball, but rather Reifner doing what she does best; drawing the keeper out of position. “She’s a skilled player and she can draw things with the ball,” he said. “She’s the most dangerous player on the ball that we have. She sets things up well. She makes it look easy when it’s not.” Fellow sophomore, and Reifner’s good friend Sam Armentrout got into the action soon afterward. At center goal, Armentrout took a feed from Mia Warlick, caromed it off the crossbar and into the net for a 4-1 Atlee lead. As the Atlee offensive onslaught continued, a goal from Brooke Jerman moved the lead to 5-1 and Armentrout added two more for a 7-1 Raider lead at the break. Dalton noted that after their overtime upset of Hanover in the semifinals, his C-fed came into the championship unready to play. “We had to lay it all on the line Tuesday night to get to this point,” he said. “We’re not making excuses, we just came out, we played flat, we played tired; physically and mentally not ready to play.” Lovelace also pointed out that Lee-Davis was shorthanded due to injuries. “We just took advantage of the situations,” he said. “Lee-Davis played solid, we just got an onslaught where we were putting the ball in; finishing things.” Trailing one of the region’s top teams by six at the break, Dalton knew a comeback was virtually insurmountable so he set a different goal for his team in the second half. “At halftime we talked about we wanted to prove to everybody watching the game that we were better than she showed in the first half,” he said. “We just tried to make it

The Raiders answered with a goal from Kimberly Glymph but the Lee-Davis defense played strong to keep the game at a stalemate until the final minutes when Riefner sent a shot off the keeper’s hand and into the goal for the final margin. “We came off at halftime holding our heads down but the girls did a good job of getting it together in the second half,” Dalton said. “I don’t know if the result would have been different but the fact that we didn’t lay down and die speaks a lot about

Travis (Cook), the center mid, he hit me a ball through,” Lewis said. “I knew I was one on one with Mike (McCabe) and I like dribbling around.” But Lewis knew getting the ball past a first team keeper the caliber of McCabe, (12 saves), was going to be no easy task. “He had a good chance of getting to it, I thought he would, but I got past him luckily,” Lewis said. From there on there was nothing but the ball and turf between Lewis and the goal. “It’s a good rush because you know all you have to do is pass it in the goal and that’s what I like about doing it,” Lewis said. Ironically, Lee-Davis found itself lucky to reach this year’s title game after getting a scare from #4 seed Henrico in the semis. The Warriors forced a 1-1 tie at the end of regulation and overtime putting the two teams in a shootout. It was Lee-Davis’ Dominique Smith who scored in the fifth round of the shootout to give the C-feds the edge. Then C.J. Stevens saved the final two Henrico penalty kicks to seal the win. “He’s been doing that all season,” Kidder said of Stevens. “I’m glad he’s a junior.” Between surviving the close call and pitching a shutout, Lewis believes his C-feds are well prepared to enter regional play. “I think it boosted our confidence because we pulled a shutout in the district tournament and that’s important to everybody,” he said. “If we go into regionals like we did tonight I think we have a good chance of winning. We’ve just got to keep strong.” Both teams advance to regional play with Lee-Davis hosting Mills Godwin on Tuesday. The Eagles handily defeated the C-feds in the first game of the season. “We’re looking forward to playing them again,” Kidder said. Atlee will play at Cosby in the first round.

DeOliveria took the assist and threaded the needle, slipping a shot into the corner past diving Atlee keeper Mike McCabe. “My man Alec, he played a really good ball in,” DeOliveria said. “I was able to sneak in behind a defender and got a nice touch on it.” The Confederates added to their tally in the 22nd minute when junior Blake Thompson connected on a diagonal from 20 yards out. But it was the Lee-Davis defense that was the stars of the game. DeOliveira and Lewis shut down the center allowing their teammates to continually repel the Atlee attack. “Atlee usually likes playing through the center when they go forward and I think that was one of the key things,” Kidder said. “Those guys did a good job.” Atlee head coach Steven Thompson agreed: “They did a good job of closing things down, making it real tight through the midfield,” he said. “(They) didn’t give us much room to play. “On the flip side, we had some gaps in the back that they exploited,” Thompson added. “They came out with a lot of energy. We came out a little flat.” When Atlee got past the Lee-Davis backs, it was junior keeper CJ Stevens performing cleanup duty, coming away with five saves. DeOliveria widened the margin to 3-0 soon into the second half and Lewis created the final margin on a goal worthy of a championship game-capper. In the 63rd minute of play, Lewis got the kind of breakout soccer players dream of; oneon-one with the keeper 15 yards from the goal, in what Kidder described as; Caleb just doing his thing. “I made a run outside and Atlee .....................................0 0 — 0
