Society learns about centuries-old artifacts Retired Atlee teacher discusses Broaddus Flats dig The Hanover County Historical Society has selected the theme “Uncovering Hanover’s History” for its 2010 program. During a meeting in May, archeological and preservation activities in Hanover County were addressed by Tom Hobbs, a retired Atlee High School teacher. His comments emphasized “Broaddus Flats,” located just off U.S. 360 near the Pamunkey River. He has worked the archeological dig since 1992. Hobbs previously explored the Summer Hill plantation near Studley before moving his research to the Pamunkey River property also called “Riverfield.” Ray Kirby, who farms the property, offered Hobbs one acre to dig. Based on his extensive excavation, Hobbs said he believes the site to contain foundations of a house dating to the late 17th century, approximately 1685. His work identified

fy and add enforcement teeth to noise guidelines. According to county attorney Sterling Rives, the revisions were the result of a Virginia Supreme Court ruling that cited language in a Virginia Beach statute to be vague in its referral to the reasonable person standard. Hanover’s revised ordinance amends that language to define excessive noise as actions that would disturb ordinary sensibilities, and also altered the enforcement process. In addition to the new standards, the new ordinance places main enforcement duties with code enforcement officials and opts for civil penalties as a more effective method of addressing the problem. Under the old ordinance, noise complaints resulted in criminal charges that could result in a Class I misdemeanor with a fine of $1,000. The new ordinance opts for civil fines that result in a $250 fine for the first offense and $500 on subsequent violations. At the request of Col. V. Stuart Cook, sheriff, officers
will still have the option of issuing criminal citations allowing them to address noise situations after office hours when code enforcement officials are not available. In addition to the change from an emphasis on civil rather than criminal enforcement, the changes also address the county’s primary source of noise complaints, barking dogs. Former language banned dogs that barked “frequently and habitually” and the revision outlines a prohibition on barking that is “plainly audible across property lines” and occurs for more than 15 minutes from 7 a.m to 10 p.m. and 10 minutes from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Rives said the time limitation is modeled after other counties and more clearly defines the county’s intent to address problem situations. Another change to existing code requires that all on or off road vehicles have mufflers. One citizen said that would directly affect his ability to load his racecars on trailers for transport to the racetrack. “Race cars don’t have mufflers,” Peter Howcroft said.
Under the new guidelines, Rives said, starting the engine could result in a violation, and suggested either installing a temporary muffler system on the car or using an electric wench to hoist it on the hauler. South Anna supervisor John Gordon said those options were not viable. He said the language was too restrictive and starting a car to load it should be allowed. His fellow supervisors agreed and language was amended to allow for short intervals of nonmuffled use. Several county residents supported the revised policy, with many recounting their own barking dog nightmares. “My problem started back in 2007 when a neighbor acquired a dog that did a lot of barking,” South Anna District resident Duane Sergent said. “For a year I listened to it and didn’t complain to anyone.” He said he finally called deputies who told him to document the disturbances. “I began keeping a log in July 2008.” Due to the vague language of the old ordinance, there was little that could be done to alleviate the barking problem.

“This disturbance has gone on for over three years. Sometimes, it lasts on and off for hours . . . There’s something enforceable with the new ordinance change,” Sergent added. Henry District supervisor Charles McGhee motioned for a vote on the new ordinance and the board voted unanimously to approve the revised policy. In other matters, the board accepted nominations for the Mechanicsville seat on the Hanover County School Board, currently held by Glenn Millican. Millican was the first speaker during the public hearing and expressed his desire to continue in his current position. He cited his varied experience as a vital resource in a time when budgets are tight and about to get even more restricted, and school systems are facing numerous challenges. Several speakers followed and spoke in favor of Millican’s nomination and appointment, citing his many accomplishments on the board. The board will consider Millican’s nomination at its June 23 meeting.

She has mentored children at the YMCA and tutors students in chemistry and Spanish as they study for the SATs (formerly known as Scholastic Aptitude Test and Scholastic Assessment Test). Sydney has been chosen for honors housing at Virginia Tech, “which I have accepted as of right now.” Thirty-five students in the upcoming freshman class are selected for the program. She will be majoring in engineering and minoring in Spanish at Tech . “I hope to cheer there as well.” The years at Patrick Henry, Sydney said, have been fun. She did say she had “worked really hard” in high school. “Teachers and coaches have been really helpful. I feel I’m ready for college — definitely.” She isn’t ready to break ties with Patrick Henry. “I know I’ll probably be back here for football games and stuff.” She said “I really like the diversity. It’s different from a lot of high schools around the area.” As for her high school experience, Sydney is certain of one thing though: “I wouldn’t change anything.”
CSX worker killed An employee of CSX was killed Thursday morning while working on a CSX facility just north of Doswell Road. According to Capt. Michael J.

Conner was pronounced dead at the scene. Trice said the northbound train, which was pulling 37 railcars and hauling orange juice to Philadelphia, blew its horn as it traveled through the rail yard. Conner was working in the narrow lane between the stationary train and the moving train when he was struck. “Our thoughts and prayers are with the family, friends and co-workers of Mr. Conner,” Trice said, speaking on behal of Col.

IN MEMORIAM On June 12, 2008 Edwin Ewell Adams ascended into Heaven high above the skies. His calling on earth was farming, which he dearly loved. From boyhood he worked the fields and pastures of the Cold Habor farm begun by his father’s grandfather. For over 50 years he was the loving and devoted husband to Mary Beth. He was an exemplary father and grandfather raising his son on the “ways and gentle kindness of a small town Southern man”. Mr. Adams was always a gentleman, showing grace and respect to everyone. This good man, we are certain, today experiences “power and glory forever”.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
2010 graduates get ready for next step Today we wrap up a series spotlighting the valedictorians and salutatorians for the Class of 2010 in Hanover County Public Schools. It was a pleasure talking with and learning about these young leaders of today — and, most important, tomorrow. Stereotypes of brainiacs do not apply when it comes to these Hanover County scholars. They are well-rounded, involved in school and community, and they are living life to the fullest. All nine honor students praised the education they have received here and the role it will play as they make that next step to college. Teachers and administrators have been commended for their guidance and support. And the overall high school experience apparently has been a good one. On Saturday, the county’s four high schools — Atlee, Lee-Davis, Hanover and Patrick Henry — will take the spotlight at the Stuart C. Siegel Center at VCU. Commencement exercises are scheduled for: 8:30 a.m., Atlee; noon, Lee-Davis; 3:30 p.m., Hanover; and 7 p.m., Patrick Henry. It’s an exciting time for the graduates, as well as their families and friends. As they embark on their journey, the possibilities are endless. Yes, as we have learned about “the best of the class,” this group holds much promise — and we can all be proud of their efforts. To the Class of 2010, congratulations and best wishes.

Message from the Principal As I write this letter, it is with mixed emotions that I bid farewell to this school and this community. As many of you may know, I will be leaving LeeDavis High School at the end of the school year to become the principal of Patriot High School, in Prince William County, Virginia. My successor, Mrs. Carol Moore will take the helm on July 1, 2010 as your new principal. I wish her all success in her new position, and will work diligently to ensure that she has all the information she needs to continue the great things that have happened at Lee-Davis High School. As I reflect on my time here, I think about the initiatives that we undertook together and the accomplishments that have succeeded during this time. The 50th Anniversary of the school was celebrated with skydivers, bands, and a year-long celebration that involved students, staff members, and community leaders. Every hallway was painted and school colors were inserted throughout the building. The Commons area was totally remade, as was the newly created senior patio. We created a character education program using student images that fill the hallways of our school and are featured on our website. We planned and created an outdoor classroom that is still under construction, and we got students involved in the beautification of their own school. We also created a program for students to develop their own leadership skills and to meet the challenges of the 21st Century with our Leadership Academy. In terms of instruction, we created a math tutoring center for students, went to an eight-block schedule, created student IDs with barcodes, and asked teachers to start implementing 21st Century learning skills into their classrooms. We also provided an avenue for students to come together and make the climate of the school better through our participation in Rachel’s Challenge, the creation of the F.O.R. club, the Bridging Boundaries program for our IB students, and the creation of the Principal’s Student Advisory Committee – which ended up creating the Student of the Month recognitions that have taken place for the last three months. All of those things are capped
Celebrations . . . The Naval ROTC Awards ceremony was held on June 3, and opened with the presentation of colors by members of the Drill Team and Pledge of Allegiance. Cadets receiving awards included Brandon Bessellieu, Eric Booth, Contessa Brown, Fowler Evans, Shane Evans, Johnathan Fitzgerald, Michael Garrett, Taylor Hall, Alex Morgan, Austin Quinn, Rebecca Parramore, Catherine Schumacher, and Evan Smith. Distinguished Cadets are Rebecca Parramore, Eric Booth, Kevin Joyce and Julia Snipes. Outstanding Cadets are Alex Morgan, James Persinger, Nathan Greene, and Austin Hooe. Most Improved Cadets are Holden Flippo, Cody Hewell and Nicholas Friedhoff. The Area Five Achievement Award was given to Lauren Burnette and Justine Taylor. An exciting moment occurred when Justine Taylor arrived straight from the softball field where the L-D Girls won the district championship, resulting in a spontaneous wave of applause from the audience. Congratulations to all our NJROTC cadets and Master Chief Calvin Lawrence, and our thanks and very best wishes to Commander Joseph Green upon his retirement at the end of this school year. The Principal’s Advisory Committee would like to recognize the following students and staff member who exhibit great personal character and have made positive contributions to the Lee-Davis School Community by making a conscious effort to be kind and thoughtful citizens. The Principal’s Advisory Committee’s Students and Staff Member of the Month of May are: Tyler Womble, Alexis Coates, Allyson Verlander, Ava Lindsay, Alinia Fazio, Antonio DeOliveira, Ian Lewis, Alma
off with our selection as a participant in the VASS grant which is designed to support students who want to take AP Math, Science or English courses. As I look at that list, I also think about the students with whom I have come in contact, or who have worked to make this a better place. They are shining examples of what is right about the world. I can’t help but think about the student athletes who have represented us on the field, court, on the mat or in the pool who have demonstrated through a great work ethic, commitment, and dedication what is great about this place, and this school. People who go to Lee-Davis High School have an unwavering sense of commitment to their community, and work to put forth their best efforts when challenged. That has been the one consistent trait you will find that exists for each and every class of students who have attended here, since the first in 1959 to the current class of 2010. We will have a student attending Yale University next year who demonstrates those types of qualities, and we are proud of his efforts – much the same as we are proud of our choral, drama, band, and fine arts programs that consistently demonstrate excellence. Members of the class of 2010 will attend the University of Richmond, Fordham University, The University of Virginia, Virginia Tech University, Duke University, the University of New Orleans, Furman University, George Mason University, Virginia Commonwealth University and, of course, James Madison University. That list speaks volumes about the types of students who attend Lee-Davis High School, and my expectation would be for that to continue in the future. As I reflect further on my time as principal of Lee-Davis High School, and as a resident of the Mechanicsville community, I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with a great faculty, great administrative team, great coaching staff, and dedicated student body. I wish all of you the best in your future endeavors, and know that you will continue to make your school, your community, and your world a better place.
Delgado, and Mrs. Stella Smith. Thank you for making Lee-Davis a great place to go to school. Many thanks to all who supported Lee-Davis via the Book Fair at Barnes & Noble earlier this month and to Barnes & Noble for their support of the schools through this program. Please go to the Lee-Davis website to access the summer reading information. Because of your support, we earned at least $200 for the purchase of supplementary materials. Congratulations to faculty and staff members who have received ABCD (Above and Beyond the Call of Duty) awards this year from their colleagues, in recognition of inter-departmental cooperation and appreciation. Presentations and testimonials were made at each monthly faculty meeting, with a prior month’s recipient presenting to a colleague. This year’s recipients were Robert Almodovar, Sara Anton, Betty Banton, Stuart Bernstein, Dale Blade, Tom Bosher-Perran, Virginia Butler, Mike Childress, Jym Coleman, Duane Coston, Charlie Crittenden, Brad Dalton, Brad Davis, Jackie Davis, Brian Duke, Sarah Farrar, Jeff Fogg, Margo Grant, Commander Green, Maya Harris, Denise Hill, Tuwanda Holmes, Wendy Hobbs, Brianne Hunt, Peggy Johnson, Steve Levine, Gretchen Marr, Marty McDonald, Pauline O’Neil, Lonzo Prentiss, Tori Purdy, Sally Smith, Carolyn Williamson, and David Wilton. The Emerging Leaders take on a year-long project, and this year they adopted the Hanover Adult Center which provides care of adults during the day as a service to them and to their caregivers. This year, the EL provided a check to the Adult Center and put on a talent show that involved singing, dancing and hula hoops.

Continued from pg. 1 b
Stacie said Jerry then “reached into the coat closet and pulled out a bag, like a plastic bag, and the gun was in there.� After 11 years, she said the memory of a gun she described as black and paint-chipped is vivid. “I was kind of in a state of shock, and I was like, ‘What are you gonna do with that?’ He said, ‘I’m gonna hurt us if you try to leave.’ ‘Well, that’s not going to happen,’ “ she recalled telling him. “I picked up the phone and dialed 9-1, then heard an unbelievably loud noise and I fell to my knees. I started feeling more pain like on my neck when the bullets were going in my neck.� “After he had used all the bullets, he sat on my chest and tried to strangle me,� Stacie said. Of the six shots, three entered her head, two went through her right wrist and one lodged in her left hand. Stacie, on the floor in a pool of blood, remained conscious. She said Jerry continued talking to her. A downstairs neighbor “heard my big ol’ mouth screaming and kicking the floor. She’s the one that called 911.� When she realized the severity of the situation, she said she had “to let somebody know what was going on. My ear was ringing so bad I couldn’t hear what was going on.� When officers with the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office arrived, Stacie said she yelled for help and told them “Come in, he’s gone.� Jerry’s departure was simple: “He walked out the door and shut it behind him.� “The only thing he picked up was his pager and his keys — he didn’t take anything else.� He did take the gun. “I had never seen a gun in the house. He always told me he hated guns, and the fact that it was in a plastic grocery bag and it was chipped — it had to be an old gun.� With memories going back to that fateful Friday night, Stacie said Jerry had called to tell her he was going to be late getting off work. Looking back, she said “so he was planning something.�
The relationship They had been living together three years when she ended the five-year relationship. “He started squandering money and he maxed out all my credit cards. I just got tired of it all and moved out.� “I wasn’t aware of how much he was using the credit cards, because I’m very trusting — or was. He paid the bills, he
controlled the major credit cards. I didn’t realize how many cash advances he was getting until one day I looked at the bills and was shocked.� When she approached him about the matter, she said he told her he would “get it fixed.� She said Jerry had started his own business, acting as a financial advisor. “People would give him money . . . and he’s invest it for them. He made a lot of bad decisions.� According to Stacie, Jerry was not a violent man. “He didn’t even like to argue. I’d be the one that wanted to keep on yelling and screaming and he’d just walk away.� About two months after the shooting, Jerry called Stacie. “He just wanted to apologize for what had happened, and I asked him why did he do it and he said ‘I don’t know,’ and I kept trying to get him to tell me where he was. He said he wouldn’t do that. ‘I just wanted to tell you that I love you’ and that he was sorry and then he hung up. I was trying so hard not to panic. I really just wanted to find out where he was — he just wouldn’t tell me. He just kept saying ‘I’m sorry’ and I’m like, ‘OK, where are you?’ “ As for the injuries she suffered, Stacie is “almost completely deaf � in her left ear. A bullet had gone down the ear canal, through the eardrum, landing on the carotid artery. Surgery is not an option. “The muscle’s already forming around it and they’re afraid it will go in the wrong direction. I just kind of leave them (the bullets) alone.�
The investigation Lt. Glenn Schneider of the Sheriff ’s Office has been on the case from the beginning. He arrived at the Mechanicsville apartment about 11:30 p.m. on Jan. 29, 1999. A forensics investigator, he had been called to the scene to collect evidence. He joined investigator Bob Schwartz at the apartment. The lieutenant said officers checked bus stations. Jerry “may have fled out in the Midwest somewhere. He had some college friends that were from that area.� Over the years, Stacie said she has received information about sightings in Milwaukee and Atlanta. “We feel like he may have gotten on (Interstate) 295 and gotten a ride,� Schneider added. Capt. Michael J. Trice said the investigation included a comprehensive scene search. He also said “We were fortunate to be
able to talk to the victim.� Jerry is wanted for aggravated malicious wounding. A “Wanted� bulletin described Jerry Otis Robinson as being a 5-foot-2, 130pound black male with brown hair and brown eyes. His date of birth is April 1, 1973. He is “considered armed and dangerous.�
The search In an effort to gain information on Jerry’s whereabouts, the Fox TV program “America’s Most Wanted� has spotlighted the case three times. Schneider said Stacie had contacted the popular crime show about her shooting. “She’s pretty proactive,� Trice said. Schneider echoed those sentiments: “She’s very adamant. She wants to catch him, just like we do. She’s looking to any avenue to get him caught and brought to justice.� “On ‘America’s Most Wanted,’ we’d had numerous leads, but none have put us any closer [to capturing Robinson.� The show aired on Aug. 19, 2006; June 9, 2007; and Sept. 26, 2009. AMW’s website is www.amc.com; information on Robinson can be found under “Fugitives.�
The status For Stacie, the events of Jan. 29, 1999, still haunt her. “I had to go through a lot of therapy.� She saw psychiatrists to help her deal with panic attacks. “I couldn’t sleep at night because I was terrified. For the longest time, I couldn’t go anywhere by myself because I was scared. I’m better now, but I still feel the anxiety sometimes when I’m by myself, especially at night.� She occasionally has nightmares. “I still get scared at night sometimes. I just try to go through the day and try to keep it out of my brain.� While she may admit to Jerry’s impact on her life, she describes herself as being “very ornery, determined. I refuse to let this beat me. I refuse to let him just still be in control.� As for the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office, Trice said “We haven’t given up on apprehending him.� Stacie Harvey Breaker remains committed to getting justice. “I just really want my day in court. That would make me happier than anything right now — just my day in court.�

Wubbzy creator wows South Anna students By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com

he sounds of delight filled the cafetorium at South Anna Elementary School on Tuesday, June 8, when students realized the man on the stage was drawing one of their favorite Nick Jr. characters. As soon as Bob Boyce, an author and illustrator, started sketching a couple of lines, the lower grade classes chanted “Wuzzby.” Boyce, whose Wow! Wow! Wuzzby! has been a favorite on Nickelodeon, shared his talents with South Anna students after being invited by Grow Up With Books, which partners with Hanover County Public Schools and South Anna Elementary School. After the enthusiastic response he received about
Melody Kinser/The Local
Bob Boyce told South Anna Elementary School students about his work as the creator of Wow! Wow! Wuzzby!, as well as his newest book, “Hugo and the Really, Really, Really Long String.”
Wuzzby, Boyce told the crowd that he was there to talk about his latest project, a book entitled “Hugo and the Really,
Really, Really Long String.” His journey into writing and illustrating stemmed from his interest in reading. “My parents gave me books,” he told the gathering. Dr. Seuss’s “Green Eggs and Ham” was among those he mentioned. “I wanted to create stories,” he said. The artwork took some practice. “I wasn’t a really good artist.” To improve on that aspect, he said he was “drawing in my sketch book every day.” The idea for Wuzzby, he said, came from his niece. “When she was very young,” he said, “she made up stories.” Her imagination led to Wuzzby — and Boyce’s first book. With “Hugo,” he tells the

story about a boy and “his playful dog Biscuit.” Hugo discovers a red string. “He knew something wonderful would be at the end of the string.” Along the way, Hugo makes several friends. Ultimately, the string leads Hugo back to his house.
With students eagerly awaiting the ending, Boyce tells them Hugo follows the string back to his house “to a pair of red underwear.” Giggles and chuckles fill the room, as Boyce explains the story wasn’t so much about finding a treasure — even though Hugo really did.
The friendships he made, he said, are “so important in life.” He then demonstrated his drawing talents and techniques. In addition to Wuzzby,. Boyce is well-known for the cartoons “Fairly Odd Parents” and “Danny Phantom.”

Haiti needs cruise industry Having made five trips to Haiti in the past three years, including one shortly after the
earthquake, I was very upset to read the letter from a reader who made the statement, “Why cruise liners are still allowed in the region is beyond me.” The writer of those words obviously does not understand the current conditions in Haiti. Haiti’s biggest problem is unemployment. More than 50 percent of the population is unemployed and those that do work average less than $2 per day. The cruise industry supplies a steady source of employment for many Haitians. The average tourist might spend more than $50 on the island and — with more than 1,200 tourists on each ship — this is a substantial boost to the Haitian economy. In addition, right after the earthquake, the cruise ships dropped off tons of food and medical supplies for the victims of the disaster. If more people traveled to

Haiti and purchased goods and services from the local Haitians, so many people would not have been in Port au Prince looking for work and maybe there would have been fewer causalities. In addition, the Haitian people are very proud people and they do not want handouts. Just like you and I they would rather be given the opportunity to work for their money. The cruise industry needs to continue to encourage people to go to Haiti to see the beauty of the country and pump money into their economy. Volunteers in Haiti do not put money into the economy.

Funds available for cooling assistance Application forms for the Cooling Assistance program offered by the Hanover County Department of Social Services are now available at the office. The Hanover DSS started processing applications for its Cooling Assistance Program on June 15. The program began June 15 and runs through Aug. 15 or until the money is gone. Cooling Assistance, offered through the Virginia Department of Social Services Energy Assistance Program, helps eligible households meet costs related to cooling one’s home. This can include: 3 Payment of electric bills (up to a determined maximum) to operate cooling equipment. 3 Payment of security deposits for electricity to operate cooling equipment. 3 Repair of a central air conditioning system or heat pump. 3 Purchase of a wholehouse fan, including ceiling or attic fans. 3 The purchase and installation of one window unit air conditioner for households where there is no unit or where the unit needs to be replaced. To be eligible, the household must have at least one vulnerable individual aged 60 or older, disabled, or a child under age 6. Assistance is based on the availability of funds and is firstcome, first-serve. Renters must have written permission from their landlord to make alterations or improvements to the property in order to be eligible. “It’s probably going to be hot and humid this summer and this weather can be very dangerous to elderly and disabled people as well as children,” Donna T. Douglas, director of Hanover County Social Services, said. “We urge anyone who would like to know more about the cooling assistance program to call us at 365-4100.” An eligible household can receive more than one type of assistance per application and may apply more than once dur-
ing the cooling season, but only one member of a household may apply. Financial eligibility is based on income only. Income levels cannot exceed federal poverty guidelines by more than 30 percent. Applicants must provide proof of income for all household members. Electric utility bills must be in the name of a household member or the service address must be the same as the applicant’s address. The Energy Assistance application has been updated and must be used to apply for Cooling Assistance. It can be accessed on the web at or it can be requested by calling the Hanover Department of Social Services at 365-4100 or on the web at www.dss.virginia. gov/benefit/ea/cooling/index.
cgi. The completed application can be mailed, faxed to 3654110 or returned in person. All applications must be signed by the applicant. The Hanover County Department of Social Services is located at 12304 Washington
H VC
Highway in Ashland. For more information about the Cooling Assistance program, call the Hanover Department of Social Services at 365-4103 or stop by the office. Information supplied by Tom Harris, Hanover County public information officer.

The resolution recognized Lizzie for her outstanding athletic achievements as a state recordholder in the pole vault, as well as for her recent successful and courageous battle with cancer. “Lizzie is such an inspiration to so many who have been touched by cancer; she never gave up, in fact, she continued her ‘can-do’ competitive attitude during her horrific ordeal and I am so very proud to have Virginia’s General Assembly join with me and recognizing this outstanding young lady,” Cox said.

Sized “Giving Bags.” The reusable bags offer five toiletry essentials – soap, deodorant, shampoo, toothbrushes and toothpaste.

Information regarding the distribution location and process will be sent at a later time. Volunteer opportunities are available through our online application (www.thegivingheart.org).

RivahFest spotlighting roles of land and water
Land and water have always been heart and soul of Tappahannock and Essex County — and that will be reflected in the wide variety of displays in downtown Tappahannock for the thousands that come to RivahFest’s Marine Area and Merchants’ Market on Saturday, June 19. “Merchants’ Market” will show RivahFest visitors what’s great about our community,” area chair Tiffany Bradshaw said. “It’s a showcase for local growers, direct sales representatives, non-profit organizations, businesses, professionals and many other vendors selling a variety of unique items.” Merchants’ Market is located on Cross Street, Duke Street and Virginia Street. Displays at the market include gemstones, home decor and handmade items from many local vendors, along with services that include insurance, health care and banking. There also will be construction photos and plans from Teakwood Enterprises, remodeling ideas for your home, lawn care ideas from Arbor

‘The Parsons’ Cause’ ready for 2010 season “But what do we mean by the American Revolution? Do we mean the American war? The Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people.” — John Adams The “minds and hearts of the people” began to change in Hanover County on Dec. 1, 1763. It was there and then that an obscure country lawyer named Patrick Henry challenged the authority of the Church of England and the King of England. In The Parsons’ Cause, as Henry’s case became known, Henry thundered against the King’s disavowal of a law passed by the Virginia House of Burgesses. In addition to thrusting Henry into the forefront of Colonial legal and political circles, The Parsons’ Cause
established part of the foundation for the coming American Revolution. The Parsons’ Cause Foundation Inc. is a non-profit corporation whose mission is to sponsor re-enactments of and promote the historical importance of The Parsons’ Cause. The Foundation is pleased to present free public shows of The Parsons’ Cause — Prelude to Revolution, during the summer of 2010. The shows will be held at the same Hanover Courthouse where Henry tried the case in 1763. The re-enactments will commence at 11 a.m. on the following dates: + Saturday, June 19 + Saturday, July 3 + Saturday, July 17

TANF funds available for summer In an effort to address childhood hunger and its impact on child development, health and learning, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Food and Nutrition Service (FNS) are notifying states that Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds available through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (Recovery Act) can be used to assist families through the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). Through this unprecedented collaboration, ACF and FNS are joining forces to help communities provide children with adequate, nutritious meals during the summer. The notice sent to states includes an explanation of how resources under the TANF Emergency Fund provided by the Recovery Act can be used to cover portions of costs associated with running a summer food service site that are not otherwise reimbursed. States can seek 80 percent reimbursement through the fund for a range of expenditures, including the cost of compen-
sation for staff support to provide supervision and programming at summer feeding sites, transportation services to transport food and/or children to feeding sites, recreational activities to attract more youth to program locations and meal preparation costs that are not otherwise reimbursed under the SFSP. “During these difficult economic times, it is more important than ever to work together across federal, state and local offices to support children in need. We look forward to these Recovery Act dollars supporting children this summer since the lack of nutrition for children during summer recess can lead to long-term concerns such as illness and other health issues throughout the school year,” Carmen R. Nazario, HHS assistant secretary for children and families, said. “HHS and USDA are working diligently to help ensure that TANF funds are available to states to expand participation in the SFSP and ensure that children return to school healthy and ready to learn.” “One of our priorities for reauthorization of Child Nutrition Programs is strengthening the SFSP so that children aren’t left out
just because school is out. Increasing access to more nutrient-rich foods for our Nation’s disadvantaged children is no simple task,” Kevin Concannon, USDA under secretary for food, nutrition and consumer services, said. “It requires government agencies, the private sector, non-profits and local communities to collaborate to ensure children get the proper nutrition that will help end childhood hunger.” The Summer Food Service Program was created to ensure that children in lower-income areas can continue to receive nutritious meals during long school vacations when they do not have access to school lunch or breakfast. SFSP encourages communities to provide complete, wholesome meals for children that are served in safe, supervised locations where children can enjoy activities and playing with other children. For more information and guidance on the TANF Emergency Contingency Fund, visit http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/ ofa/. For more information about the SFSP, visit http://www.fns.usda.gov/cnd/summer/.

Abigail Padgett recently celebrated her 9th birthday with family and friends and honored Hanover Humane Society’s furry people. In lieu of gifts, Abigail, a pet owner, asked that she be given items for the animals with Hanover Humane. Friends and family visited Hanover Humane’s website for the “Wish List” of items and brought gift bags bearing the pet-related items to Abigail’s birthday party. As a result, Abigail presented Hanover Humane with many bags of dog and cat food, cleaning supplies, toys, leashes, kitty litter, etc., which will be used for all Hanover Humane’s foster animals. She also received several cash donations that she provided to Hanover Humane. For more information, visit www.hanoverhumanesociety.org or e-mail info@ hanoverhumanesociety.org.

Ride 2 Recovery travels into area Cyclists in the Ride 2 Recovery turn onto Atlee Road from U.S. 301 in Mechanicsville on their way to Williamsburg on June 3. Severely wounded servicemen and women who have had to overcome both mental and physical injuries are riding as part of their rehabilitation. This ride started May 31 in Arlington and finished in Virginia Beach six days later.
Some have to ride specially made bicycles because they have no legs, no arms, or they are blind. Some suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and riding helps them with the depression. Mechanicsville American Legion Auxiliary Unit 175 contributed $1,600 to this program, which is the cost of one customized bicycle.
The unit uses funds donated by the community during its annual Memorial Day weekend poppy distribution. “Auxiliary members would like to thank the citizens of Mechanicsville for their generous donations this year, and to Walmart and the two Kroger stores for allowing their members to distribute poppies in front of their stores,” Dianne McCoy, president of Photo submitted by Dianne McCoy Auxiliary Unit 175, said. Cyclists make their way along U.S. 301 in the Ride 2 Recovery.

Errors undo Lee-Davis state title dreams By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com
Chantilly, VA- On Saturday afternoon, the McLean Highlanders took advantage of four Lee-Davis errors to defeat the Confederates 4-2 in the Group AAA state softball championship at Westfield High School. “We made mistakes defensively that cost us,” said LeeDavis head coach Jackie Davis. “That’s usually out game plan. Try to put the ball in play and make the other teams make mistakes and that seemed to be their game plan tonight too. Unfortunately, we made the mistakes that they needed to help them out.” McLean head coach Maurice Tawil knew exactly how the Confederates felt in the loss. The Highlanders came into the state title game having lost both the Liberty District and Northern Regional championship games due to miscues. Against Lee-Davis they committed no errors. “Those are game-wreckers I’m sorry to say,” Tawil said. “Against a good team you can’t make them. We guarded against that all season and today we didn’t make any. I like that line there.” The game started off as if Lee-Davis was the team that would take advantage of miscues. In the bottom of the first, the Confederates’ first two batters, Charyssa Parent and Lacie

Madison reached after being hit by pitches from McLean junior hurler Jamie Bell. But a running mistake by Parent led to a pick off at third. It was followed by outs from Amanda Parker and Meredith Holmes to allow the Highlanders to escape the inning unscathed. Both teams came into the contest without having yielded a run in the state tournament and Lee-Davis was first to break into the scoring column in the bottom of the third. With one out, freshman Haleigh Cottrell reached on a chop shot that traveled less than a foot. Next up Casey Price lofted a shot over third for a single then Madison singled down the first base line to load the bags. Senior Amanda Parker’s RBI single down the first base line drove in Cottrell for a 1-0 lead and kept the bases loaded. But Bell got Holmes to pop-out to second and Taylor Melton to fly out to right to escape further damage. Parker felt her team may have eased up a bit after taking the early lead. “I think we settled after that,” she said. “We didn’t come back. I think we were just pumped up and ready and I think we overlooked a game.” McLean was quick to answer in the top of the fourth. Jessie Straub led off with a single over short. Next up, Gilbertson reached on a bunt when the throw to first was

or not,” he said. Therefore his plan was to cut his roster to 18 prior to Post 175’s first game. However, as the season gets under way he has to tell one more player that he will not make the squad. “It makes it really tough on a coach for decisions of who to keep and who to let go,” Gates said. “There’s going to be some disappointed kids.” Approximately 10 players each from Atlee, Lee-Davis and Hanover, ranging from freshman to seniors, showed up for this year’s tryouts and the final roster will be evenly spread as well. Returning to this year’s Legion team are Mitch Keeler and Paul Keyes from Atlee, Hank Parsley from Lee-Davis and Bryan Johnasen from Hanover. And though a huge slate of young newcomers are on this year’s roster, they are not devoid of talent. Atlee’s Chop Pulisic, Connor Hall, Conner Overton, Ryan Bettinger and James Walsh will join Jordan Boze, Brandon Angus, Greg Frame and Billy Steel from Lee-
Davis. Hanover players Ryan Long, Zach Broaddus, Jeff Zona and Jared Lipscombe round out the talent. As usual, the American Legion teams play a brutal schedule of 21 games in a 33 day span, often squeezing in six games over the course of eight days. Therefore pitching depth is always the key to the success of any Legion team. Gates expects to have as many as 11 players who can pitch this season, some of whom were starting pitchers for their high school teams. Most notably, Kane, Boze and Bettinger will stand out on the mound. Other players expected to pitch will be Parsley, Frame, Keeler, Overton, Walsh and Zona. And pitching is the area in which Gates felt he learned the most during last year’s run. “A couple of times I left pitchers in too long, didn’t make the change,” he said. “We’d come back some but down too many runs it’s hard to come back on these teams because the players are so well coached and can play the game.”
Until proven different, South Richmond Post 137 remains the team to beat. The South Richmond squad won the state tournament last year and traveled on to nationals. Though the lineup is different they are still loaded with talent. In Saturday’s season opener, Post 175 jumped out to a 4-2 lead at the end of the first inning only to watch South Richmond coming storming back to win 12-5. Other teams that could make a run at the title are Midlothian Post 186 and Powhatan Post 201.
This year’s Post 175 American Legion baseball team hopes to build on the momentum created by last year’s district runner-up squad and finished the season 17-11. But doing so will be a challenge considering that a majority of that squad exhausted their eligibility or did not come out for this year’s team. In fact, when it comes to experience, the team returns only two full-time starters and two current college players; RMC’s Tyler Kane and Bryson Post 137 ...... 232 010 013— 12 18 1 Kemler from William & Mary.

In fact, Coach Eddie Gates believes that the 28 players that showed up for try-outs were the most talented group from top to bottom that he’s seen; making his job of cutting the roster to designated numbers even more difficult. “There’s a lot of talent,” Gates said. Because the Legion teams often have their rosters devastated during Beach Week, they can keep 24 players through the first two weeks of the season. But then rosters need to be trimmed to 18. But Gates believes that holding onto the extra players then cutting them two weeks into the season did not serve his squad best last season. “Last year we found out Jim Ridolphi/For The Local that made it a little more dif- Above: Post 137’s Christian Beyer, right, attempts to steal home on a squeeze play in the fifth ficult to get those people into inning, but Post 175 catcher Hank Parsley (8) is there to make the tag.

Perfect game from Heinz carries Lee-Davis By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Chantilly, VA- After losing to Prince George in the Central Region Championship, LeeDavis head softball coach Jackie Davis challenged her team to focus themselves. Playing against James Madison in the Group AAA state semifinals at Westfield High School, the Confederates’ focus was evident. They jumped out to a 2-0 in the top of the first then rode a perfect game from sophomore pitcher Kelly Heinz to a 3-0 over the Warhawks. “We’ve been working on staying as focused as possible all season,” Heinz said. “That was one of our biggest downfalls all season.” “We talked about Prince George being a lesson learned and we had to be ready to play when we stepped onto the field and we couldn’t have any let downs,” Davis said. “I think that’s what happened today.” C-fed lead-off hitter Charyssa Parent battled from the start, fouling off strikes and taking Madison hurler Sam Brady to eight pitches before picking up a walk. Next up, Lacie Madison laid down a perfect bunt that caught the Warhawks flat-footed to put two on. Both runners advanced on a Brady wild pitch and Parent scored on another wild pitch. Madison then came home on a groundout to short by Meredith Holmes for a 2-0 LeeDavis lead.

Above: Lee-Davis sophomore Kelly Heinz pitched a perfect game in the Group AAA state semifinals as the Confederates shut out James Madison 3-0. Heinz pitched a complete game, recording 11K’s and no walks in the no-hitter. Right: In the bottom of the seventh, Lee-Davis first baseman Meredith Holmes, left, stretches out to make the play seconds before Madison’s Emily Fogel (10) reaches the bag. It was the closest the Warhawks came to getting a hit all evening.
“Madison looked like they still had some of the jitters in them,” Davis said. “They hadn’t quite settled into game yet and we jumped on them right away, put the ball into play and were able to make some things happen in the first inning.” With the early lead, Heinz was able to go to work in the circle, picking up three of her game high 11 strikeouts in the bottom of the first. Warhawks’ head coach John Schneeberger felt Heinz brought a new level of pitching to his team. “She’s awesome,” he said. “The best pitching we’ve seen. I’ll leave it at that. We couldn’t hit her. That’s the problem.” Making it through the Warhawk lineup once with-
out yielding a hit, Heinz knew the second go round would be more challenging. “You can kind of tell that they’re going to bunt or slap or you know what they made contact with and what they didn’t,” she said. “I know after I got through once I got to move the ball around a little more because it’s always easier to hit the ball the second time around.” But even when the Madison batters made contact, the C-fed defense was there as a backup. In the bottom of the fourth it appeared that Stephanie Buchko would drop a perfect shot deep along the right field line, but Lee-Davis’ Rachel Houff raced in to make a leaping grab and preserve the perfect game.
Lee-Davis tacked on an insurance run in the top of the fifth when freshman Haleigh Cottrell reached on a bunt, then stole second. A shot to third base by Parent was bobbled on the throw to first and Cottrell trotted home for a 3-0 lead. After six perfect innings in the circle, Heinz tried to keep from thinking about the possible accomplishment ahead. “It popped through my head once or twice but I was like; ‘I can’t worry about this. I can’t focus on this. I need to focus on throwing and work hard.’ The Warhawks came closest to ending Heinz perfect game in the bottom of the seventh when
Emily Fogel led off with a hard shot to third. Lacie Madison scooped up the grounder, fired to first and Holmes pulled in the ball seconds before Fogel’s foot touched the bag. Lee-Davis advanced to the state championship game with a team that has only one senior, Amanda Parker, on the roster. But Davis told her squad that the time was ripe for them to claim the school’s first state title. “I know that we’re a young team and we’ve only got one senior but you guys need to take advantage of it while it’s here,” she said. “This opportunity may or may not come again. You never know what’s
going to happen. “If you come out and play Lee-Davis softball and you play intense, you go out and play with confidence, you play pitch-by-pitch innings onethrough-seven, we can beat anybody.” After throwing her perfect game, Heinz agreed. “We have a young team and it just proves that anybody and do anything at any time,” she said. “If we work together than it always pays off.”
into the dugout. Gilbertson scored when Sutherland singled over second. Sutherland then made the lead 3-1 on a RBI single past short from Megan Sullivan. The Highlanders added another run in the top of the seventh when Lauren McColgan scored on a wild
pitch. In the bottom of the seventh, Cottrell also scored on a wild pitch, but Bell closed out the game by getting the final three Lee-Davis batters to ground out. The Confederates can find some solace in the fact that they return nearly every play-
er next season. Being the only senior on the team, Parker was disappointed by the loss but still delighted at the unexpected success of reaching the state championship for the first time in school history. “I would have never believed it,” she said. “I never thought
that we would make it here. I thought we had a great team. I just never knew that we would have enough strength and power to get here. It’s been a dream come true.” Having his first state title under his belt, Tawil had words of encouragement for Lee-Davis. “They’re young,”
he said. “I know they don’t want to hear it, but they’ll be back next year.”
