Injuries from local crash claim N.C. teen Injuries sustained in a two-vehicle crash in Hanover County claimed the life of a Columbia, N.C., teenager on June 28. Sgt. Thomas J. Molnar of the Virginia State Police identified the victim as 16year-old Keyson T. Barnes. He died at VCU Hospital. At 2:07 p.m., Virginia State Police Senior Trooper D. J. Smith was called to the scene

on Interstate 295 southbound, about one mile north of Route 156, Airport Drive. According to Molnar, a 1995 Ford Aerostar minivan was traveling southbound on I-295 when the right rear tire blew, causing the minivan to lose control and overturn several times. The minivan then struck a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup and a camper trailer it was towing.

Tasha B. Barnes, 35, the driver of the minivan, and seven other passengers between the ages of 9 months and 16 years were taken by ambulance to VCU Hospital. The driver of the Dodge Ram, Thomas A. Quintero, 51, of Fredericksburg and his passenger were not injured in the crash. All but Keyson were wearing seatbelts.

FESTIVAL

behind the food court. We will have about four to six ambulances that will be there.” For identification purposes, EMS personnel will be wearing t-shirts “that should say they’re EMS.” As the festival nears, Dr. Myers said planning could play a key this year. “They should come early and plan to limit the time outside. I don’t think people realize how hot you get. Limit yourself to a couple of hours.” He also has advice for those with chronic conditions, including heart failure and diabetes. “They need to be extra careful about preparing for hydration if they’re going to be out there.” In addition to water, Gatorade is encouraged to help with electrolytes. As a member of the Bon Secours MRMC family, Dr. Myers also said the hospital “is just about 10 or 15 minutes down the road. We understand the Tomato Festival is going on and will be happy to help anybody from the festival that is feeling bad and wants to be checked out.” He added that Bon Secours and Memorial Regional Medical Center are “committed to community events and helping out – that’s why I’m going to be there along with East Hanover.” Heading up the EMS operations is Frank Cheatham, who modestly said he has been working on the “EMS side for quite a few years. I go back a pretty good ways with them (the Tomato Festival).” A member of the East Hanover Rescue Squad, Cheatham said “Our plan has been basically the same for several years. Any changes this year are based, of course, on past experience and we hope to be able to ramp up a little bit.” He will have at least four ambulances on-site Saturday, with a minimum of eight people staffing them. “I probably will have 15 to 20 other folks in various positions” that day, he added. Cheatham also said there will be “a number of qualified folks” volunteering their time to the festival. He plans to have 30 to 40 people working the grounds.

Parks & Rec director Greg Sager is gearing up for his third Tomato Festival. Last Wednesday, he said “It’s a good sign we sold out of vendor booths. I think that does speak to the fact that folks know that — even though the economy is still in a rocky period right now — that this is something where people want to come out and they don’t mind spending a little bit of money. Most importantly, they see the value in coming out and finding something positive to do.” A Hanover County tradition, the Tomato Festival, Sager said, may have changed locations a few times, but “it’s a constant. People in Hanover can depend on the festival being here in Hanover.” Sager said the festival “has the feel of a down-home family reunion.” Parks & Rec, he said, started taking “a real active role in producing the event” when he became director three years ago. The year was 1978 when Oscar Watson and the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department played host to the first Hanover Tomato Festival. From a first-year attendance of 300 and one food vendor, the president of the Tomato Festival Committee has seen the event grow into “the” event in Hanover County. From the beginning, Robby Dodd of Dodd’s Acres Farms in Black Creek has provided the star of the day: the Hanover Tomato. The order usually costs about $15,000. Watson said he has been buying from Dodd “ever since it (the festival) got going.” On Sunday, June 27, Watson said an order had been placed for 200 bushels. “They will be delivered the same day (as the festival).” The Black Creek VFD received about $22,000 from last year’s festival, but that figure is before expenses are paid. Watson said they cleared between $400 and $500 in 2009, with those monies being used for “everything we need – upkeep on the building, equipment for the new fire truck.”

trol and security within the park.” He said the Parks & Rec Department is responsible for parking and exiting. After a June of record-breaking temperatures, festival-goers also need to be prepared for the heat – and risks associated with exposure. Dr. Justin Myers, an attending emergency room physician at Memorial Regional Medical Center, serves as operational medical director for the East Hanover Volunteer Rescue Squad. On Saturday, he will be on the grounds with the rescue squad at the festival. Last Wednesday, he said he was “excited” to be attending his first Tomato Festival and that he will be available for consultation. “I’m going to be assisting with the EMS (emergency medical services) trailer, which will be with East Hanover Rescue, but we are all working together as a team,” Dr. Myers said. With what he called heavy humidity and high heat, he said it’s easy for people to have symptoms of heat exhaustion and early heat exhaustion. To avoid dehydration, he recommends “people stay hydrated and to watch out for symptoms and signs of early heat exhaustion, which would include weakness, dizziness, nausea, headache, muscle aches, excessive sweating.” Anyone experiencing any of those symptoms is advised “to seek out any EMS folks they see there.” Dr. Myers said four misting tents will be arranged on the grounds. “And I recommend that people – as soon as they get there – find out where they are.” He also suggested attendees “take some breaks, hit one of these tents, plan to carry a bottle of water.” In addition to ambulances on-site, Dr. Myers said two people from Hanover Fire/ EMS will be “driving around on Segways” to assist anyone in need. “Folks will be standing at the EMS station across the road

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

Get ready - the big day is almost here Organizers with the 2010 Hanover Tomato Festival need your help. In an attempt to avoid the traffic jams that plagued last year’s event, a request is being sent out to those who use Pole Green Road as a shortcut to please consider another route on Saturday. Lt. Kenny Epling of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office came by the office last Tuesday to talk about what we can do to help those trying to get to the festival at Pole Green Park. Last year saw a record attendance of 42,000 — and traffic tie-ups all around the area leading into Pole Green Road. So, the plea is out this year for motorists who do not live in that immediate area or do not plan to come by the festival to travel in another direction. This is a reasonable request and one that will help others. Deputies and volunteers did their best in 2009 to keep traffic moving, but the incredible turnout led to a bumper-to-bumper situation. The Sheriff’s Office has been working with Hanover County Parks & Rec Department and the Tomato Festival Committee to ease traffic issues. Without question, all parties involved want a worry-free, welcoming environment. That’s why they start planning the next festival as soon as one ends. And speaking of helping ease traffic, plans are in place to route exiting vehicles along a hedgerow within the festival area. That way, two lanes — rather than one lane — will be entering. Now it’s up to us to make sure these plans work. So, please, if you don’t need to be on Pole Green Road on July 10, take another route. Hopefully the weather won’t be so oppressive. But, be advised, make sure you have a bottle of water with you as you make your way about the festival grounds. Medical personnel will be available on-site and misting tents will be provided. This is a “good time will be had by all” event and we hope to see you there. Here’s to another successful — and prosperous — Tomato Festival! Melody Kinser

I don’t take those responsibilities lightly.” “It’s going to be a lot of work,” he said. “A lot of people I’ve talked to say it’s an adjustment.” The schedule has the crew working two hours and being off two hours. While Lawrence writes about the expedition, a videographer has been providing audio packages. Their work is sent to SEA’s office in Woodshole, Mass., for posting to the website. There also is a Twitter feed at SEA_Cramer. A Louisiana native, Lawrence’s educational background includes science and journalism. In 1979, when he started working on a biology degree, he also started his first stint as a copy boy. According to the mission statement on its website, the Sea Education Association “is an educational institution dedicated to exploration, understanding and stewardship of the oceans, and to the study of humanity’s relationship with the oceans. SEA offers students an interdisciplinary curriculum, on shore and at sea aboard tall ships, that provides challenging voyages of scientific discovery, academic rigor, and personal growth.”

he Bible tells us that “life and death lie within the power of the tongue!” Words have the capacity to build up or tear down. James refers to the tongue as a small spark that can create a huge deadly forest fire, and he used that illustration long before the advent of the internet, e-mail and Facebook! These new electronic megaphones give our words even greater power and extend their shelflife into infinity! Jesus tells us that our words will either condemn us or vindicate us, and Paul writes that we will all give “an account for every careless word!” and encourages us to not let any “unwholesome words come out of our mouths but only that which is useful for the building up of the body.” uite a lot of Biblical ink is dedicated to telling us what kind of talk is to be avoided and what kind of talk is to be embraced. Idle chatter, gossip, foolish quarrels, arguments about trivial matters and minor doctrines, lies, anger, wrath, malice, hate, evil-speaking, dissentions, factions, filthy language from our lips, course jokes, and stirring up dissension among the brothers, are all listed as the kinds of word we are to avoid like the plague that they are! I am particularly struck by God’s inclusion of “stirring up dissension” as one of the 7 things He utterly detests! (Prov. 6:16-19) “There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers.” Yet even with all these warnings, it is so easy for each and every one of us to lend our tongue to unrighteousness and allow the devil to use our words in his scheme to “divide and conquer.” James tells us that the tongue is the hardest of all things to control! And most of us don’t need James to tell us! We know it by experience. Blessings and curses come from the same mouth, and we have all been on both sides of that equation. We have all given and received both blessings and curses and we know feelings of their corresponding joy or pain. he Bible also gives us clear direction on what kind of words ought to fill our mouths: praise, prayer, praying at all times with all kinds of prayers, words of encouragement, thanksgiving, words that build-up/edify, good, kind, true, pure, lovely, excellent, praiseworthy words, speaking to ourselves with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs and making melody in our hearts to the Lord, spurring one another to love and good deeds, being ready to give a reason for why we have hope and sharing the good news of the gospel with all. o let’s all take a little inventory. How am I using this, my most powerful of tools/weapons – my words? We can’t control them, but God can…. He will control to the extent that we surrender.

Too often in political discourse assertions are allowed to pass as facts. The T.E.A. Party has been attacked once again and it is now time to correct the record. Doug Smith certainly has a right to his opinion but it’s factual distortions must not go unchallenged. First. he accuses us of “littering up the neighborhood,” a charge that seems to be an excuse to attack a group and a message he just does not like. Since my phone number was listed in the material, anyone who considered it to be litter could have easily picked up the phone and called. Among the many calls I received in response to the materials there was not a single complaint. His “well heeled” comment appears to be an attempt to paint us as a group of rich and selfish people who don’t care for others. Our members come from all walks of life and living within our means is a basic tenet of the TEA Party message, both as individual citizens as well as a state or nation. In 2009 my AGI was $47,000 less than in 2008. I have never bought a new car, and live in a house I paid $125,000 for in 1998. I pay for my own health insurance even though it costs more than usual because I’m self-employed. Progressives seem to ignore history. Forty-five years of

Great Society programs should be sufficient time to reach certain conclusions regarding their effectiveness. How then would Smith explain the economic and social basket case that is Detroit and so many other cities in America that have long been under control of liberal/ progressive Democrats ? Compassion should not excuse bad policy as it has with many of these programs. Many citizens who would have been helped by being taught self-reliance and personal responsibility have been condemned to what is too often permanent status as wards of a paternalistic state. The very policies that Smith seems to advocate have produced 40 million on food stamps and the number grows daily. Is this his idea of progress? He says we want to “strangle government” — what nonsense! “Strangling the truth “ would be a better description of Smith’s assertions. Virginia’s budget is a textbook example of excessive spending. It took the state’s entire history — some 230 years — to reach a point where Virginia was spending $34 billion a year. It took only 10 more years to double that amount while the population grew by less than five percent. The same can be said of the federal government’s expenditures vs. the growth of our population — legal and illegal. Our opponents always argue for more spending, if only they had more money. Each new army of Progressives believe they are smarter than the last group and they will do it better. History says different. The only winners have been the rapidly growing, bloated-budget civil service agencies Smith’s call for paying a “fair share” is another example of ignoring the facts. When 47 percent of Americans pay no federal income tax, where does he think the money comes from?

When you have a system so out of balance (oddly titled “Progressive”) there is an ingrained tendency for government to grow out of control. Too many of our nation’s citizens have no “skin in the game.” This 47 percent couldn’t care less about spending and many of them get SSI, Medicaid and other welfare programs that continue to be expanded in terms of dollars and numbers of recipients. And their Democrat/ liberal/progressive enablers are demanding more and more money from productive members of society. And, by the way, Mr. Smith, your “fair share” of the Obama administration’s $13 trillion national debt will soon hit $119,000. Smith’s assertion that I, or the TEA Party, favored Wall Street bailouts is simply ridiculous and perhaps a sign of bias. It is crystal clear that TARP and other obscene bailouts initiated by unprincipled Republicans and Democrats alike are major factors in giving birth to the TEA Party movement. We invite attention to the government-subsidized, horribly mismanaged Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac mortgage bureaucracies, which have already cost taxpayers $170 billion and are estimated to need another $500 billion. Their fraud, waste and abuse are always glossed over by those who favor government remedies for every problem, real and imagined. Clearly, because of the exposure that hearings would provide if Fannie and Freddie were held up to the same scrutiny as private sector entities, Barney Frank, Chris Dodd and other Democrats who facilitated this are stonewalling. Mr. Smith, Fannie Mae CEO Franklin Raines took $50 million in compensation over five years while running it billions of dollars into the red.

Cantor joins Farm Credit in funds distribution Farm Credit customers in the area will share in a total of $1.6 million in patronage refund checks. The agricultural credit cooperative is returning more than $14 million to farmers and rural residents who use its services across Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland. U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor, R-7th, recently met with Farm Credit directors and local farmers as they announced the distribution of $1,671,200 of this patronage refund in his district. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Farm Credit remains a reliable and competitive source of funding for our local farmers. During this time of economic uncertainty, it is even more important that Virginiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rural homeowners, farming communities and agricultural businesses have access to the credit they need to invest and grow,â&#x20AC;? Cantor said. Colonial Farm Credit and Farm Credit of the Virginias are part of the nationwide Farm Credit system of lending cooperatives serving rural America. Because Farm Credit associations are structured as member-owned cooperatives, they are able to return a portion of their income to their customers in the form of a patronage refund. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our focus on serving the agriculture and rural marketplace and our conservative

In closing, we extend a sincere invitation to Mr. Smith and all other concerned citizens to attend a TEA Party meeting, particularly our “Debunking Global Warming “ presentation he alluded to that is coming up July 8. We can focus on more than one issue at a time, no confusion here. To suggest to the contrary simply illustrates the anger that was so apparent in

his letter. Too many misinformed and misguided people simply do not like it that millions of Americans are rising up, unwilling to allow America to become an economic disaster like Greece. Virginia’s Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli said it best last week in a speech to a major TEA Party gathering in Manassas, “You are not obliged to win the fight, you are obliged however to fight the fight.” And that we shall.

Hazelgrove to serve with Student.Go mission Grace Hazelgrove, a Mechanicsville native and VCU student, will join more than 40 students around the world working alongside Cooperative Baptist Fellowship field personnel and Fellowship partners. She will be serving in Miami, Fla., this summer with Student Go. Touching Miami with Love (TML) is an urban ministry that focuses on sharing Christ-like love with families and individuals in inner city Miami. Since the organization began in 1994, it has developed ministries to the poor, persons with HIV/AIDS, homeless, internationals and to those in prison. Interns will assist TML in implementing a summer mission program for neighborhood children and youth in Overtown. Through the Fellowship’s Student.Go program, undergraduate and graduate stu-

dents have the opportunity to spend a summer or semester involved in hands-on missions. Students serve around the world – from U.S. locations such as Arkansas, Miami and New York to international locations such as Africa, India and Slovakia. As extensions of the local church, CBF field personnel living in these locations provide opportunities for students to participate in holistic ministries. “Students fill vital needs on the field,” Amy Derrick, the Fellowship’s missional church specialist, said. “There are ministries that simply would not happen if these students were not there. We are amazed every year at the ways that God uses summer and semester Student.Go personnel in the lives of those with whom they minister. But we are equally amazed at how the Holy

Spirit works in the lives of the students through these experiences.” Student.Go provides a $1,000 stipend, secondary insurance, room and board and local transportation at the ministry site. For more information, visit www.studentdotgo.org http://www.destinationmissions.org/or contact Derrick at aderrick@ thefellowship.info. ----CBF is a fellowship of Baptist Christians and churches who share a passion for the Great Commission and a commitment to Baptist principles of faith and practice. The Fellowship’s mission is to serve Christians and churches as they discover and fulfill their God-given mission. Information submitted by Patricia Heys, CBF communications.

In an attempt to raise awareness of issues on the local, state and national levels, members of the Mechanicsville TEA Party have been posting signs throughout Hanover County. This one, on Pole Green Road, reads: “The total National Debt has now exceeded THIRTEEN TRILLION DOLLARS from massive spending pushed by both political parties, but most recently and most dramatically by President Obama and his Democrat congressional majority. That means that every US taxpayer owes more than $118,000. This out-of-control debt is a crushing burden that is being inflicted on our children and grandchildren. What are you going to do about it?”

The park commemorates four major actions of the U.S. Civil War: the 1862 Seven Days Campaign, June 26-July 1, 1862, encompassing Beaver Dam Creek, Gaines’ Mill, Glendale (Frayser’s Farm) and Malvern Hill; a portion of the 1864 Overland Campaign, May 28-June 13, 1864, including Totopotomoy Creek and Cold Harbor; the May 15, 1862, naval action at Drewry’s Bluff; and actions along the Richmond-Petersburg front, Sept. 29, 1864 -April 2, 1865, encompassing Fort Harrison and Parker’s Battery. A driving tour of the battlefields includes 13 separate sites with five visitor centers along a 80-mile route. A full day is required to experience the entire battlefield park.

Atlee Auto, Uniroyal Tire support Upward Soccer Upward Soccer has received more than $1,000 in funds and equipment from Atlee Auto Service and Uniroyal Tire. The national program, in its 11th year, continues to be a major supporter of youth soccer.

Partnering with its tire dealers, Uniroyal Tire has donated nearly $13 million in funds and equipment, including more than one million soccer balls, since 2000 through the Uniroyal Soccer Program. “This program is about giving

back and helping my community in supporting our local youth,” Dennis Young from Atlee Auto Service said. “Everyone at Atlee Auto Service is pleased to be taking part in such a unique initiative. It’s great to see families in the store and the parents are as

appreciative as the children to receive a free soccer ball.” “We enjoy being able to offer such a successful program to our dealers and their communities again this year,” Ashley Ramos, Uniroyal Tire marketing communications manager, said.

The ReeseStrong Foundation raised $1,781 in a cornhole tournament on Saturday, June 26, on the back parking lot of Martyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grill in Mechanicsville. The fundraiser was held to benefit families of children battling cancer. Even with temperatures reaching into the high 90s, it didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t stop the 30 teams that came out to have fun and support ReeseStrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cause. With help from Michael Cohan, the owner of Martyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Grill, and Mike Chenault , who oversaw the tournament, ReeseStrong organized a successful event. For more information about ReeseStrong and to learn about upcoming events and fundraisers, visit www.ReeseStrong. org. or become a fan of the Facebook page.

Legion Post 175 picks up win despite strangeness Teams called back to ﬁeld after inning was skipped By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com American Legion baseball has been known to suffer through weird, wacky plays and odd outcomes, but on Thursday evening Post 175 saw one for the record books. Playing at Varina Post 233, the Mechanicsville squad thought they had walked off the field with an 8-5 win after shutting down the Varina offense in the bottom of the ninth. The officials made their usual hasty exit. Both teams shook hands and the players began to change out of their uniforms. That was when Post 175 Coach Eddie Gates called his remaining players together in the dugout. “Boys, I hate to tell you this but they missed an inning,” he told his stunned squad that was not sure whether or not he was joking. It turned out the joke was on everyone because somewhere along the line either the sixth or seventh inning was bypassed. As the oldest player on the Post 175 squad, centerfielder Bryson Kemler has seen a lot, but a missed inning was something new. “No. Never. Never seen anything like that,” he said. “I’ve been playing baseball for like 12 years and never seen it. But I guess you’ve got to roll

with it.” Not only had many players changed clothes, but some had also left the park. “A couple of them were almost gone,” Gates said. “They were in their cars. That makes it interesting because if they’d said you have to have the same players in I don’t know what I would have done.” Having pulled out the win once, both the coach and players were concerned about what would happen when the teams returned to the field. “I know a lot of our guys were ready to get out of here,” Kemler said. “It seemed to be a really quick paced game. We were pretty excited about getting the win. Having to come back and play one more inning you never know which way the momentum is going to be.” Gates agreed. “When you’ve got three more outs anything can happen,” he said. “I’ve seen it. It’s happened with two outs. You see a team score four, five, six runs. They had their good hitters up. I was real concerned. I was wondering if our focus could come back.” Over 20 minutes passed while the umpires were relocated and told to return to the field. It appeared that momentum had shifted to the 233 dugout after pitcher Brian Thurston carded two quick outs. But Mechanicsville’s Brandon Angus, subbing for Zach Broaddus who had been in the parking lot, was hit by a pitch to reach first. Next

up, Kemler drilled a shot to the centerfield fence and it was all the speedy Angus needed to round the bags and put Post 175 up 9-5. “I guess you just need one swing,” Kemler said. “I got a kid from first scoring. Something like that can always help us out. Keeps the momentum on our side.”

Varina threatened in the bottom of the additional inning by quickly putting two runners on base before the 175 defense stepped up. 175 relief pitcher James Walsh struck out Cody Smith then catcher Mitch Keeler made a brilliant play, holding back on a throw to catch the runner leading off first and instead going

to third baseman Paul Keyes to catch Varina’s Darren Carpenter. Walsh then struck out Thurston to end the game for a second time. Varina took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first when Smith’s single to center drove in Zach Mathews. But Mechanicsville answered in to the top of the second. A

bases loaded walk of Broaddus forced Jordan Boze home to tie the game then Kemler singled to short to drive in Ryan Bettinger. 175 added two more in the top of the fourth when Kemler’s line drive down the third base line plated Keeler and Billy Steel for a 4-1 lead. In the top of the sixth see LEGION, pg. 33 `

Youth well served at Optimist Golf Tournament Clarke captures second title with 70 By Jim Ridolphi Special Correspondent For area golfers, it was a chance to up their game to the next level and take a shot at a free trip to Florida to complete nationally on a PGA course. For the local Optimist Club, it was another way of helping America’s youth and lending a helping hand. Last week, more than 50 golfers, age 10-18, gathered at The Crossings for the Bill VaughnOptimist Junior Golf Classic, an event that serves as a qualifier for the Optimist International Junior Golf Championships later this month in Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. “The Optimists do some wonderful things and they are a great organization,” said tournament official and VCU golf coach Matt Ball. “I’m happy to lend a helping hand.” For Atlee sophomore Thomas Moore, the tournament requires just the right combination to gain a victory. “You have to concentrate and not make any mistakes,” he said. Moore said the event sometimes brings out his best. “I

Mechanicsville added two more following another odd play. Bettinger led off with a deep shot down the right line that bounced into the corner. Varina’s Austin McCullough slid to retrieve the ball and made the throw to the infield from his knees. But despite the fact that the ball was in play, the field umpire held Bettinger at second and blew the play dead because McCullough’s foot was pinned under the fence. With two outs and Keeler joining Bettinger on base,

Sauter, 18, worked on his drive before he teed off and entered the tournament with a clear-cut goal. “I want to get my name out here and it’s a good place to do that if you play well,” he said. Sauter is headed to James Madison University in the fall and hopes to walk on the golf team in Harrisonburg. The Capital Virginia District of Optimist International will send 11 golfers to Florida this year picking up the tab for lodging and expenses. Tournament director Gail Headley said it’s an effort that begins early and doesn’t end. “We had great support from other clubs in the area, and our sponsors made the whole thing possible,” she said. “It’s an important project and the public support has been great,” she added. The tournament’s namesake, Bill Vaughn, funded the event until his death last year. This year, Giovanni’s Photo by Jim Ridolphi/For The Local Restaurant is the main sponsor Atlee rising sophomore Thomas Moore eyes down a shot at last but many contributed to this week’s Optimist Golf Tournament. year’s effort.

The Varina bats came alive for four runs in the bottom of the fifth to pull within 6-5. But 175 answered in the top of the seventh. A sacrifice to right by Chop Pulisic drove in Steel and Broaddus scored on a wild pitch. Mechanicsville got a surprising performance from Connor Overton on the mound considering he was not scheduled to pitch. “I was going to put him at shortstop but his foot has been hurting,” Gates said. “I said,

‘Can you pitch?’ and he said yes so I put him at pitching.” Overton recorded four strikeouts and limited Varina to one run through four innings, before surrendering four in the fifth inning when he was at his limit. The victory was the third straight for the 175 team that started the season 1-7 but now seems to have found itself. “Last week we were really disappointed with our play,” Kemler said. “A few of the players talked. The coaches talked. Everybody was saying just pick it up. We’ve got to come more prepared. We’ve got to

be more excited in the dugout and everybody’s responded. It’s a young team and I think everyone needed that talk and that coming together moment and it’s really helped. These last three days have been really great, really exciting and we hope to carry it into the weekend and the second half of the season and just keep it rolling.” “It seems we’re getting a little cohesiveness and starting to play,” Gates said. “We’re starting to have fun and that’s the biggest thing.” Post 175………..0 2 0 2 2 0 0 2 1- 9 Post 233………..1 0 0 0 4 0 0 0 0- 5

ence. “We have kids competing from over 30 countries, so it gives them a chance to form some unique friendships,” she said. “Many form life time relationships with people they would not ordinarily meet.” The competition also allows golfers a chance to compete in a world-class event at no cost. “Many of these kids would not get the chance to play in a tournament like this if it wasn’t for the Optimists,” Headley said. “That’s our mission, to give back to kids and bring out their best.” Goochlander Massey Bartolini said the tournament allows him the chance “to play well and have some fun. I’ve played in a few of these so I’m getting used to it, and the course is in great shape.” Midlothian golfer Kevin Clark won his second consecutive Bill Vaughn Classic with a score of 70. Final results from this year’s Bill Vaughn-Optimist

Tournament were: Boys 10-11: Robert Hollembaek shot an 80 to take first place and qualified to move on to compete in the championships. Boys 12-13: Fitz Woodrow IV came in first with a score of 79.

Atlee runs past Mechanicsville American 11-1 By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The Mechanicsville American Little League team faced a noticeable disadvantage when it took the field for the second round of the District V 9-10 Baseball Tournament at Manchester. The Americans were slated to face a talented Atlee squad whose roster included several members of the Hometown Hawks travel team, currently ranked #1 in the state of Virginia. If that was not enough, Mechanicsville also gave up nearly six inches per player to their opponents. “There’s no doubt about it,” said manager Mike Hogan. “There’s a noticeable size difference but I’m proud of the boys. They looked really good. I can’t say enough about how good they looked out there tonight.” The lack of size did not stop Mechanicsville from taking an early 1-0 lead and limiting Atlee to a single score in the bottom of the first. However, Atlee’s talent carried the day as they wore down

Mechanicsville to win the contest 11-1 in four innings. Hogan gave specific pregame instructions to his Mechanicsville team in the dugout. “Big bats. Big gloves. No mistakes,” he said. It was apparent that his players took the message to heart. Facing Atlee starter Adam Jewell, Mechanicsville’s John Lavin got the ball rolling with a lead-off double to left. Austin Buisset’s one-out single to short allowed Lavin to reach third but the American bats quickly took Jewell out of his game. With Preston Eacho at bat, Lavin scored on a wild pitch as Eacho was walked. Next up, Ned Anthony also reached via walk to load the bases for Mechanicsville. With the potential threat of the American’s breaking the game open early, Atlee manwww.mechlocal.com ager Rodney Chenault went to See slideshow online! his ace-in-the-hole. Though he planed on pitching Jack Charlie Leffler/The Local Dragum at some point in the game.

attempt to cover home. Though Mechanicsville turned in a stalwart effort, Atlee was just too talented a deep, pulling out an 11-1 win in four innings of play.

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Entering the District V Tournament, teams often open against familiar foes. Such was the case in the 11-12 year old division when Mechanicsville National took to the Tuckahoe Little League field against Atlee. “Unfortunately, one of our local teams is going home with one loss tonight,” said Atlee manager Ryan Berry. “I would have rather played one of the Charlie Leffler/The Local

other teams but we have got to play who we get paired against.” For Mechanicsville manager Donny Goodman, it did not matter who his Nationals faced. “No, because we have practiced to come out here, play ball and enjoy the game,” he said. Though Mechanicsville was the home team in the contest, it was Atlee that looked at home, rolling out to a quick 7-0 lead in the top of the first then cruising to a 14-4 four-inning win. Facing Nationals’ starting pitcher Marcus Bazala, Atlee struck quickly with a series of well-placed hits that Mechanicsville could not defend.

Will Pulisic reached via walk then Jacob Weis singled to left. A groundout to short by Henry Moore pushed both runners into scoring position and they came home when John Gregory sent a shot to left for a double. Tyler Morgan reached after being hit by a pitch and Gregory came home on a single to left by Aaron Saunders. Brandon Loving’s hard shot to the mound drove in Morgan and a single to short from Zac Berry allowed Saunders to score for a 5-0 lead. Loving scored when a pickoff throw to third went wide and a single to right by Kevin see 11-12, pg. 35 `

of the first was not his intention. “The plan was to have our starter go a little bit further then bring Jack in,” Chenault said. With Dragum pitching, the complexion of the game suddenly changed. Coming to the mound with bases loaded and one out, Dragum struck out the next two Mechanicsville batters to escape the threat. “That’s why he’s our No.1,” Chenault said. “He came in with bases loaded and one out. He left with bases loaded.” But Dragum didn’t stop there. Over the next three innings, Dragum gave up one hit by striking out eight of the next 10 batters he faced. “Jack Dragum just shut them down,” Chenault said. However, it appeared that the game would turn into a pitcher’s duel when Buisset stepped to the mound. After giving up two quick hits, Buisset appeared to be just as much of a defensive threat as Dragum. Atlee’s Jack Chenault led off with a single to center then Nick Zona lofted a shot over second to quickly put two Atlee runners on. But the small, bespectacled Buisset settled into a groove striking out the next two Atlee batters before giving up a run to Chenault on a wild pitch. However, Buisset bounced back to pick up his third straight K and escape the inning. “He’s a small, scrappy kid but I tell you what, he knows how to play,” Hogan said of of his starter. “He’s a baller.” Mechanicsville showed loads of confidence by holding Atlee to a 1-1 tie but they appeared to be unsettled when Dragum took down the order in the top of the second. In the bottom of the inning the Atlee bats suddenly came to life. Atlee quickly loaded the bases on walks of Jack Goleski

and Dalton Davis followed by a perfect bunt from Josh Brown. A single to right by Michael Warley allowed Goleski and Davis to score. Then with one out, Zona’s RBI single to left drove in Brown. Finally, Zona made the Atlee lead 6-1 scoring on a wild pitch. Dragum once again took down the order in the top of the third allowing Atlee to break the game open in the bottom half of the inning. Kevin Miller led off with a double to the center field fence and came home on a single from Hunter Brooks. Brooks then scored on a triple from RJ Rood and Rood came home on a single from Jordan Thompson. A single to right from Zona drove in Thompson and Dragum closed out the scoring with a RBI triple toP center that drove in Zona to create the final margin. Though Mechanicsville fell by the mercy rule, Hogan could

not have been more pleased with what his team showed him. “We did absolutely great,” he said. “If we’d have played the entire game the way we played the first inning the game would be looking a whole lot different right now. We knew it was going to be a tough game but we came out ready to play.” Even in the win, Atlee’s Chenault felt his team learned a valuable lesson. “We gave up one run in the top half of the inning and I saw some long faces,” he said. “I said, what happened after that? What’s the lesson here? We didn’t lose the inning. We came back and scored a run. That’s what we always talk about. Win every inning. They responded well.” Mechanicsville American was eliminated from tournament play the following evening in a loss to Chesterfield. The championship game of the 9-10 divsion will take place on July 9, 6:30 p.m. at Manchester field # 2.

mound, Mechanicsville got two of their first three runners on base. Playing smart at the plate, Cannon Lambert and Jordan Lafferty both reached via walk, bracketing a Gregory strikeout of Austin Moore. But the Atlee defense put a quick end to the threat. Chevalier’s single to short set up a tag of Lafferty and Gregory got David Hues to ground out to short. The Atlee bats showed little sign of cooling when they returned to the plate in the top of the second. Moore led off with a solo homer over center and Gregory stretched a shot to center into a double. Next up Morgan cleared the bags with a shot over the left field wall for a 10-0 Atlee lead, signaling the end to Bazala’s night on the mound as Chevalier came on in relief. Atlee added one more run in the inning when Lawlor’s ground-out to short allowed Saunders to score to push the margin to 11-0.

Continued from pg. 34 b

Lawlor drove in Berry for a 7-0 cushion. But then the Nationals’ defense stepped up. Bazala fielded Pulisic’s shot to the mound to catch Lawlor at second. Next, short stop Cameron Chevalier then made a leaping snag on a liner from Weis to escape the top of the inning. “We’ve got some kids that can really swing it,” Ryan Berry said. “I felt like we were going to hit. The issue was just try to manage the pitching, make sure we stayed down and played defense against them. We needed a big start and that’s exactly what we got. Really we couldn’t have asked for anything more.” “They’re a good team,” Goodman said. “When they hit the ball you have to hit with them and that’s basically baseball. You can’t defend against a hit, you’ve just got to hit with them.” With Atlee’s Gregory on the

Mechanicsville Seniors look for repeat

Mechanicsville’s Chad Woodell makes a diving stop at second as the Senior Division team defeated Chesterfield 9-6. Mechanicsville looks to defend their District V title when they take on the winner of Central Chesterfield vs Tuckahoe matchup on July 6. The game will be played at Manchester field #3 at 6:30 p.m.

Once again the Atlee defense played stellar in the bottom half of the set. Bazala reached on a walk then stole second to quickly get the Nationals in scoring position. But Seth Powers sent a short pop-up to short that Moore pulled in then caught Bazala on a lead-off of second for a double-play. The Atlee lead moved to 130 in the top of the third off a two-RBI shot from Lawlor that drove in Peyton Upshaw and Morgan. Though they faced a nearly insurmountable deficit, Mechanicsville kept plugging away. “I always tell them don’t give up,” Goodman said. The National bats came to life in the bottom of the third. Facing Atlee’s Lawlor, Lambert sent a one-out double to the center fence. Next up, Mitchell Goodman drilled a home run shot to left to clear the bags. Lafferty was walked and Cole Bordonie singled to short.

Hues then bounced a single past first that allowed Lafferty to score. Bordonie then stole home to pull Mechanicsville within nine, 13-4. Goodman felt his kids demonstrated what he has told them all along. “No matter what the score is, you never give up,” he said. “I told them after the game, we stuck in there, we didn’t give up. We got those four runs. You’ve got to just keep chugging along.” But Atlee pushed the lead back to 10 in the top of the fourth when Pulisic scored on a Moore groundout to first. Though only the first game of the tournament, Berry felt good about the prospects of his Atlee team. “I feel real good about tonight,” he said. “We got to save some pitching, which really worked out. It’s a lot of strategy when you come into these tournaments. We’re fairly deep in pitching. I don’t know how many of our pitchers everybody knows. We

have a couple of kids that don’t play travel baseball but they can pitch really well so a lot of kids haven’t seen them. So we kind of have those in our back pocket right now. So we feel pretty good about where we are.” Mechanicsville dropped to the Loser’s bracket and Goodman hopes they show the same resiliency for the rest of the tournament. “We lost one of our pitchers for four days because of his pitch count, but I feel pretty strong going forward,” he said. “We’ll give it a good go and we won’t give up.” Atlee fell to the loser’s bracket with a loss to Chesterfield the following night. Mechanicsvlle National advanced to the second round of the loser’s bracket with a win over Richmond on Thursday. Both teams played again on Friday. Results were not available at press time due to the July 4th holiday schedule. The championship game will be played on July 8, 8 p.m. at Tuckahoe field #6.

King William County Revenue Recovery Program – Emergency Transports In November 2009, the King William County Board of Supervisors adopted an ordinance allowing a “compassionate” billing program for services rendered by the Emergency Medical Services (EMS) Department, including the volunteer rescue squad companies serving the County. This process will allow the County to bill and receive payments from independent insurance companies or other providers for emergency transport. Monies received by volunteer organizations through this program will be used to fund emergency rescue services, including equipment and paid personnel. The County has contracted with EMS Management & Consultants, Inc. of Lewisville, North Carolina to bill medical insurance companies, including liability and workers’ compensation, for these services. A rescue squad crew member may request insurance information from the patient, family member or hospital staff in order to facilitate the billing process. If information cannot be obtained at the time of service, you may be contacted by the billing agency to request additional insurance information. As a resident, your tax dollars will serve as your responsibility for any billable services you receive. You may receive an Explanation of Benefits from your health insurance, notifying you of any amounts paid directly to King William County. Under the current procedure, residents are not required to remit any co-pay. Charges are based on services rendered. Patient care will continue to be the most important issue at hand when a citizen calls 911. A patient will never be denied services based on their lack of health insurance. Medicare, Medicaid, and most Private Insurance Plans cover emergency ambulance transports. The reimbursement received from the EMS Billing Program will be used to help fund the equipment and/or paid personnel necessary to continue to provide the highest level of emergency services to the community. The Board of Supervisors and citizens want to express their appreciation to and continued support of our volunteers. If you have any questions regarding the implementation of this billing program, go to the County’s website at http://www.kingwilliamcounty.us/fire_rescue.htm or contact Steve E. Puckett, the County’s emergency services director, at 769.2654. If you have any questions related to an insurance statement, you may contact the billing agency directly at 1.800. 814.5339.
