Chickahominy seat sought by Ellis
Cemetery owner tries to save burial ground By Jim Fields jfields@mechlocal.com Several years ago, Kevin Monaghan, who owns and operates Hanover Memorial Park, discovered some casket handles dating back to the 1800s on an AfricanAmerican Burial Ground adjacent to his property. The burial ground is a tiny section of a two and a half-acre plot owned by
the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) that is for sale. Monaghan said he is concerned that whoever buys the land might try to develop the entire plot without concern for those buried there. A VDOT spokesman originally said they weren’t aware of a burial ground on the property. However, Elizabeth Jordan, a VDOT archaeolosee BURIAL, pg. 4

gist, inspected the site with Monaghan on June 30 and confirmed his belief that there was a burial ground there. As a result of Jordan’s findings, the selling of the property has temporarily been put on hold. “VDOT is sending an archaeological contractor to the property to do an archaeological dig,” said VDOT spokesperson Taya Jarman. “We need to know what is there -- whether or not there are any people buried there and whether or not they might have been slaves. We will not go forward with selling the land until a lot of questions are answered, and we have notified all of the bidders for the property as to what we are doing.” The property is located on Mechanicsville Turnpike near Pole Green Road, and the listing for the property doesn’t mention the burial ground. “It’s something that’s always been there,” Monaghan said. “We didn’t know the size of it until we got in to actually look.” Monaghan has outlined the burial ground in orange tape and placed brightly

a supervisor are to maintain strong education and public safety services; reconnect citizens with government; achieve highquality growth by incorporating citizen input in the designs of larger developments; strengthen the county’s approach to green infrastructure and parks; televise or webcast meetings of the Board of Supervisors and Planning Commission; and place greater emphasis in the county’s economic planning on agriculture, locally-owned businesses, tourism and better access to high-speed Internet. As a political novice in 2007, Ellis ran as an independent in the race for the Chickahominy seat against Bob Setliff, whose retirement leaves the seat open in 2011. Ellis said he received 42 percent of the vote. “I have great respect for Bob Setliff and I’ve learned a lot from my interactions with him,” said Ellis. “We agree on some things and disagree on others, but I think we always keep it civil and honest.” Ellis said he became interested in local civic issues when his Craney Island Farms neighborhood was recommended for redistricting to a different elementary school in
colored flags where some of the old tombstones used to be. He said at least seven people are buried there and has obtained photos of them. “We don’t want these people to be forgotten,” he said. “These people lived here and helped make Hanover County what it is today.” There’s a fence with barbed wire on top outlining the property VDOT wants to sale. Bids to purchase the property were accepted through July 1. The property could sell for more than $400,000. Monaghan confirmed he had submitted a bid but would not say how much. “I think we made a fair bid,” he said. “I’d like to fix up the site and preserve what’s there. I would put up a wrought iron fence around it and replace the tombstones. We have a good idea of the names of the people buried there, but we aren’t sure of who is buried in which grave. So, instead of individual tombstones that might not be on the right grave, I’d probably place one big tombstone in an appropriate place and have everyone’s name on it. In the future, we might have more burials on the ground.” “I’m concerned the new purchaser
2005. “It was a surprise to us. The more we looked at the enrollment data, the less justification we saw for it,” said Ellis. “We started out being very emotional, but we learned from a neighbor about how to approach it better. The main thing I learned was how constrained the process is for citizens to talk to their own representatives. But I think the School Board and the administration really tried to listen.” He said the neighborhood ended up staying at Cool Spring Elementary School. Ellis began attending many of the citizen meetings about the county Comprehensive Plan update in 2006 and 2007. “The Comp Plan process was ultimately very disappointing,” Ellis said. “A couple of local real estate folks literally got to sit down and draw the result that they wanted. This was weeks before the county even advertised for a consultant to come in and ask what citizens wanted. So I thought someone needed to challenge for the board, and people said if I felt so strongly about it, why didn’t I do it? My family, friends and neighbors were incredibly helpful. Going door-to-door was quite a learning experience. There are some great ideas out there if you seek out a variety of citizens and listen.” A frequent telecommuter, Ellis served

might not think he has a responsibility to maintain it or protect the cemetery,” he added. “By law, they have to preserve and maintain it as a burial ground. If our bid isn’t the one accepted, I’d be glad to work with whoever buys the property to properly maintain it.,” he Monaghan said. He also said he believes preserving the burial ground is the right thing to do. “This is history,” he said. “Like all cemeteries, it tells a story about our past. People need to know it’s here and be concerned about protecting, preserving and keeping it.” on the citizens’ ad hoc committee for highspeed Internet service in 2010. He was appointed in 2011 by Setliff as one of two representatives for Chickahominy on the new High-Speed Internet Committee. Ellis graduated from the Hanover Citizens Planning Academy in 2008. He is on the boards of the Atlee Recreation Association and the Coalition for Hanover’s Future. He resigned from the Hanover Democratic Committee to run as an independent. He is a member of the Hanover County Historical Society and a Watch D.O.G.S. volunteer. Ellis and Lisa, his wife of 20 years, have four children, all schooled in Hanover County Public Schools: Jamie, 19; Christopher, 13; Sean, 11; and Lucy, 8. The Ellis family belongs to Our Lady of Lourdes Church. Ellis has lived in Central Virginia for more than 30 years. He has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Virginia and master’s degrees from Virginia Commonwealth University and the University of Maryland. He said he expects to defend his doctoral dissertation at VCU this fall. He is a member of the general faculty at U.Va., where he works as a public opinion researcher.
‘Dirty Jobs’films mobile veterinarian at work By Jim Fields jfields@mechlocal.com Terry Peace is a mobile veterinarian. She makes house calls. She prefers to ride around in her car, with her dog keeping her company, as she goes from one appointment to the next taking care of her four-legged friends. When you talk with her, you get the impression she doesn’t care much for the limelight, and yet Tuesday, July 12, she found herself rubbing elbows with Mike Rowe and the Discovery Channel production team for the show “Dirty Jobs.” “My secretary took a call for me back in March from someone who said they were with the Discovery Channel and that they wanted to talk with me about doing a segment for the show ‘Dirty Jobs,’ ” she said. “I really didn’t know anything about the show, and I didn’t think much about it until I got an e-mail asking me to call back. Then I had a lawyer listen to a recording of a message they had left. Finally, I made the call.” Peace didn’t consider her veterinary practice a dirty job and wondered why Rowe wanted to shoot a segment with her. When she went to the Discovery Channel website, the explanation for Rowe’s show said that viewers experience the less than glamorous work that unsung heroes perform each day. “He wanted to so a segment on a mobile veterinarian in Virginia and somehow came up with my name and phone number,” she said. “All I can say is that I met with some of the production people on Monday, and he came into town that night. We filmed the segment Tuesday and he flew out Tuesday night after dinner.” Since the producer isn’t
animal, and, right now, that’s all I can say. The segment will probably be televised in the fall, and the producer said he would call me several weeks in advance to let me know the day and time.” Peace did say that everything was done in a very hushhush manner. “They didn’t want any attention while they were here,” she said. “When they arrived to Photo submitted by Dr. Terry Peace shoot the segment, the crew and Mike Rowe, center, of the Discovery Channel program, “Dirtiest equipment came in three rental Jobs,” visited Mechanicsville on July 12 to film a segment about trucks, and each one was from a Dr. Terry Peace’s mobile veterinary practice.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
Not being recognized was a great moment It was one of those moments that you know you won’t forget — better yet, you will bask in that memory. On June 25, Sandy Watson, who serves as a judge for the Little Miss/Tiny Miss Tomato Festival Pageant, made a comment that is a keeper. She overheard this writer talking with pageant director Lynn Watson and the subject of weight loss was among our conversation topics. When Sandy piped in that she didn’t recognize me when I first entered the old Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department, she literally made my day. You see, since Aug. 1, I have been dedicated to a lifestyle change — and it is one that has seen a reduction of 90 pounds. While there are more to lose, this is a battle I am determined to win. It isn’t easy to “put yourself out there” when it comes to such issues as weight. But, for too many years, having junk food as a good friend is traveling down the wrong path — especially if you want to live to retirement. For me, a nationally known program (no surgery involved) works — but whatever choice those of you who also deal with a weight problem make, the bottom line is stick with it. This has been a lifestyle change, a new mind-set in the goal to a healthier me. To Sandy goes a very special thank you for a remark that will be remembered. I’ve never been so pleased to not be recognized.

☞ Traffic seems to be the No. 1 concern for those attending the annual Hanover Tomato Festival. Organizers and the gracious residents along Tate Lane have been working together on an exit plan the past couple of years. On July 9, weather (as in rain) prevented implementation. The Tomato Festival Committee has been diligent in its attempts to make arriving and departing convenient. Comments received have included relocating the event. The issue is where. Pole Green Park has been accommodating and the continued growth is to our county’s benefit. So, in the meantime, we must be patient and appreciate all efforts involved. Melody Kinser

LETTERS Continued from pg. 6
Va., however, did not sign on to the Rockefeller letter (and did not send a letter on their own). At this time, it is unclear if Sen. Warner and Sen. Webb are committed to protecting Medicaid, including protecting services for people with ID/DD. If the issue comes down to a vote, it is very possible that the actions of Sen. Mark Warner and Sen. Jim Webb could determine the future of the Medicaid program nationwide. Our senators need to be reminded that national cuts to Medicaid could be very harmful, if not devastating, to an already underfunded ID/DD system here in Virginia. Virginia recently received a letter from the U.S. Department of Justice outlining how the state is violating the civil rights of people with ID/DD due to its reliance on institutionalization and underfunding of community services. The Commonwealth is currently ranked 45th for its funding of ID/DD services and nearly 7,000 Virginians with intellectual and developmental disabilities are on waiting lists for community services. Thousands of those waiting have urgent needs such as living with an aging caregiver, risk of homelessness, illness of a caregiver or aging out of foster care. The need will continue to grow, as it has been reported that 18,000 Virginians with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families are currently living with a caregiver over the age of 60. Please help us spread the word so that Sen. Webb and Sen. Warner won’t let Ethan become another statistic. Laura Hamilton Mechanicsville
Perfect crime? It seems in current public
opinion on the Casey Anthony trial we may now have a new entry into the Guinness Book of World records – “The Perfect Crime.� Winner of the new record would surely be Casey Anthony, a woman who was exonerated by the court of killing her 4year old daughter, Casey Marie Anthony. It seems our current justice system has no room for circumstantial evidence anymore but instead now relies heavily on the new sophisticated, scholarly discovery of DNA. With the existence of this new means of determining guilt or innocence, justice is not blind anymore but knows for certain the architect of the crime committed. What happened to circumstantial evidence that has convicted so many in the past? According to the “Innocent Project,� since 1973, there have been 272 post-conviction DNA exonerations in the United States. It seems there must have been a time when circumstantial and not DNA was in play in our justice system and convicted these 272 people. The first DNA exoneration took place in 1989. According to the “Innocent Project,� “Invalidated or Improper Forensic Science played a role in approximately 50 percent of wrongful convictions later overturned by DNA testing. While DNA testing was developed through extensive scientific research at top academic centers, many other forensic techniques – such as hair microscopy, bite mark comparisons, firearm tool mark analysis and shoe print comparisons – have never been subjected to rigorous scientific evaluation. Meanwhile, forensics techniques that have been properly validated – such as serology, commonly known as blood typing – are sometimes improperly conducted or inaccurately conveyed in trial testimony.
In other wrongful conviction cases, forensic scientists have engaged in misconduct.� With this testimony, I submit that DNA is subject to question. Since because of deterioration of the body of little Casey Marie Anthony, there was no DNA or fingerprints, I believe the jury came to the conclusion that everything else presented in the case was circumstantial. Now that we know that DNA is not always correct, why should our justice system rely so heavily on only one innovation that is still open to question? I submit that the majority strongly believes this “mother� was accountable to protect, care for, look after and answerable for the safe care of her child – as any responsible mother would be Don’t miss the new entry!.

Lifestyle scripture cited How very sad that a person could be so deceived as to consider themselves part of the Christian and lesbian/gay communities. Also, how sad that this same person could sit in a church and not be convicted of an immoral lifestyle. I suppose their pastor has left out the Scripture in his sermons from Ephesians 5:5: “For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person . . . has an inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.� The Apostle John tells us that men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil. What better way to continue in this darkness than to call it light (hereditary, etc.)? I stand as an example that God still delivers today: “Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolators, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor
homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.� Amen! I was once one of those, but God saved and delivered me too! May God’s mercy be upon all of those who’ve been deceived and upon all of those who pastor them. Shannon Harrell Mechanicsville
Gadsden Flags being stolen Warning! There has been a rash of vandalism in Hanover, Henrico and King William counties. The vandal(s) have engaged in a number of criminal activities that include but are not limited to the following: trespassing on and vandalism of private property; theft, and violation of many property owner’s First Amendment rights. For example, a significant number of flags have been stolen and the target seems to be the very historic Gadsden Flag. I doubt very seriously that these vandals have any clue about the deep history as it relates to the Gadsden Flag. The Gadsden was created and established in 1775 by Christopher Gadsden with the help of Benjamin Franklin. The yellow “Don’t Tread on Me� standard is accompanied by the American rattlesnake poised to strike. Christopher Gadsden was an American Patriot if there ever was one. He led Sons of Liberty in South Carolina, starting in 1765, and was later made a colonel in the Continental Army. In 1775, he was in Philadelphia representing his home state in the Continental Congress. The Revolutionary standard, see LETTERS, pg. 15

“Peel Off Unwanted Fat, And Increase Your Energy, While Building Firm Muscle—Without Dieting!” health and vitality through this unique program. Dr. deBarros, told us, “Your body holds dangerous toxins in your fat tissue as a way of diluting and neutralizing the toxins. This process helps keep toxins away from your vital organs. If you gently REMOVE these toxins with this specific cleansing program, your body will no longer need to STORE the FAT and therefore—you turn your body into a ‘fat burning’ machine and lose weight.” The key to weight loss success is eliminating toxins. When you see how quickly people are able to lose weight, you’ll want to tell all your friends. While there are NO Guarantees that everyone will get the exact same results, the average weight loss according to Dr. deBarros is about 7 pounds per person, per week. If you are interested in making this month’s “Weight Loss Challenge” with Dr. deBarros D. C., you are invited to attend a short explanation on how you can become eligible to participate in our Weight Loss Evaluation. “This program will not only help people lose weight, but also improve their relationships.

Plea entered in Ashland arson Immigrant claims guilt in fire at motel where he lived, worked By Bill McKelway Media General News Service A contrite and weeping Mexican immigrant pleaded guilty on Tuesday, July 12, to a $2 million arson at the Ashland motel where he lived and worked and then pleaded for forgiveness from his former boss. “It was my fault, everything that happened,” Jose Antonio Ramirez told Chetan Shah, who had come from his new home in Chicago to testify on Ramirez’s behalf. “I may not see you again, ever. You’ve been the best boss anyone could be,” Ramirez said through an interpreter. Shah nodded his head in agreement, responding to Ramirez’s plea through an interpreter to “take good care of my family.” The 23-year-old defendant may have more trouble persuading Judge J. Overton Harris of

Federal officials have to go along with a prosecution a detainer on Ramirez, meaning recommendation that Ramirez that he will be taken into cusserve 10 years on charges that tody by immigration officials carry a maximum of life plus when he is through serving his 50 years. sentence.

The second arson occurred speak English, has no criminal history that can be determined after the Super 8 Motel in and whose legal status also is in Ashland had been emptied
because of damage from the first arson. Earp described Ramirez as deeply troubled over a lost girlfriend at the time of the fires but as someone who had fully admitted his guilt once captured. Investigators were watching the building when they saw a man fitting Ramirez’s description set fire to at least two rooms on Dec. 18. Ramirez, who had worked at the motel for about four years, had been in the United States only a short time, but Shah described him as a loyal employee and honest. Shah was the only witness speaking on Ramirez’s behalf. After the hearing, he explained why Ramirez’s family, still working at the reopened motel, hadn’t appeared for what was expected to be Ramirez’s sentencing. “They have no car,” Shah said.

The Gadsden Flag, and other rattlesnake flags were widely used during the American Revolution to protest excessive government intrusion by the British. There was no standard American Flag at the time. People were free to choose their own banners. The Gadsden was the first official flag to fly on a U.S. warship and was adopted as the official flag of the first marine unit formed in the U.S.A. The Minutemen of Culpeper County, Va., chose a flag that looks generally like the Gadsden, but also includes the famous words of the man who organized the first Virginia Militia, Patrick Henry, i.e. “Liberty or Death.” Ramon Brown Mechanicsville
vate home, entering that home and stealing your account by placing their on it is not a crime in Hanover County according to the Sheriff ’s Office and the Commonwealth’s Attorney. Is it not a crime because they know the person that broke in and who stole that account? The county will not do one thing about it. The county has turned its back on the citizens of this county. The stolen items from that home will never be recovered, because the county does not care. The county only cares for the people they know that committed these crimes. My question is how many other crimes have been committed to where the sheriff and commonwealth’s attorney will not act on because they know the person or their family? This is what I call the good old boys
in action. The people that broke into that home were not children, their age range is 50 to 80 some years of age. These people are not incompetent, one even owns and runs his own business. Theresa Woodward Mechanicsville
Greetings to all! I’d like to thank Hanover County Parks and Recreation for operating the 33rd Annual Hanover Tomato Festival. The folks at the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department certainly deserve all the financial help they can get and we should really appreciate your efforts. I also appreciate all your help as a vendor. You guys should give yourself a pat-on-the-back!
We love ya! Thanx! Now, let’s see what we can do to make the festival better for everyone! The problems that are plaguing the festival should be easy to eradicate. The festival is popular enough to grow. Please consider the following suggestions. Are you reading all this, supervisors?? 1. Make Pole Green Road two lanes going one-way inbound from U.S. 360 and from I-295. OK, sure there’s a Parade Ordinance that makes it illegal to do that. But come on the Board of Supervisors and state legislators (Virginia General Assembly). Henrico County does it twice a year for the races (at the opposite end of Pole Green/Meadowbridge). They do a great job of massive traffic movement. By adopting see LETTERS, pg. 17

Say Goodbye to Varicose and Spider Veins! New laws in Hanover What is the job description of the Sheriff ’s Office and the Commonwealth’s Attorney? Is it to see that justice is done and people who commit criminal actions be brought before the courts? Well, it appears that is not quite the job description depending on who commits the crimes: The act of breaking and entering a home. Suppose you have pictures of that person during the break-in. You have pictures of that person in several rooms of your home. But that is not enough evidence? Stolen papers from that same home with account numbers on them in which another went into your account and placed their name and address on it. You have documentation of what had happened that shows their name and address on your account is still not enough evidence? So now it seems that breaking the locks of a person’s pri-

A co-valedictorian of the 2011 class of Atlee High School has been named a National Merit Scholarship winner. Andrew T. Catanese is among more than 1,700 recipients whose selections were announced on July 11. These additional winners join more than 2,900 other college-sponsored award recipients who were announced in late May. He will be attending Washington University, where he will pursue studies in visual arts. He also plans to run track and cross country at the St. Louis, Mo., school. Catanese graduated from Atlee with a 4.655 grade point average. He is the son of Michael and Anna Catanese of Mechanicsville. At AHS, he was president of the National Art Honor Society and the Art Guild at AHS. He was a member of the National Spanish Honor Society, SODA (Student Organization for Developing Attitudes) and National Beta Club. He participates in the Richmond Road Runners Club (RRRC). National Merit Scholarships are financed by colleges and universities, with officials selecting their winners from among finalists in the program who will attend their institution. College-sponsored awards provide
between $500 and $2,000 annually for up to four years of undergraduate study at the institution financing the scholarship. This year, 198 colleges ANDREW T. CATANESE and universities are sponsoring about 4,800 Merit Scholarship awards. Sponsor colleges include 118 private and 80 public institutions located in 45 states and the District of Columbia. This final group of winners brings the number of 2011 National Merit Scholars to about 8,300. These distinguished high school graduates will receive scholarships for undergraduate study worth nearly $35 million. The 2011 National Merit Scholarships began when about 1.5 million juniors in some 22,000 high schools took the 2009 Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT), which served as an initial screen of program entrants.

this method of traffic flow, you would not have the 5 to 10 percent “turnarounds” by folks that simply give up to the drudgery of “two hours” from I-295 to Pole Green Park! The increased traffic flow would mean more feet on the ground of the event for more commerce. Ordinances can be changed by legislative means. A once-a-year exception to the rules in place by the county for the county shouldn’t ruffle anyone’s feathers. 2. Have the event until 6 p.m. (OK, still another silly ordinance that could change once-a-year for the county by the county!). Most folks (and I saw someone say it on NBC12 News) say they don’t get enough time to see everything. This
causes folks to have to rush through the event. This also impedes vendors’ (food, crafts and packaged goods) ability to conduct adequate commerce (more tax revenue!). The event as is (ending at 4 p.m.) means folks that are stuck in traffic (one lane is a parking lot and one lane is abandoned — see item one above) don’t even get in to the event. A 6 p.m. ending would mean more time for patrons, more commerce and more revenue. Aren’t we all looking for that?? 3. The event has become so popular (could be more) that it should be offered for the entire weekend. This would (again) mean more commerce. If you charge a $5 entry fee on Saturday (yup, can’t — another ordinance that the park can’t charge admission) and give
Homeowner and Contractor Equipment Rentals
hand stamps for free admission the next day, the county (and the fire department) would obtain more revenue (another good thing). There are too many people that come to the event for free and get free stuff and then leave. This is counterproductive for commerce. Many of the vendors are simply there to give out fliers to attract subsequent business. Chances are that the “freebies” won’t be back to see these vendors. Five dollars per person (kids under 12 get in free) would mean viable business leads for the flier-givers, increased movement for the sales vendors, more business for the crafts and food vendors and additional funding, to be able to afford the new two day schedule and put more money into the see LETTERS, pg. 19

I cannot speak highly enough about the quality of work, professionalism, and genuine care and concern for the patient before, during and after the visit. Keep up the good work! Far too rarely today do you get a genuine sense of caring, not only about the client, but in how the business conducts itself. You all are awesome on all fronts, and I truly appreciate that a company like yours is in our community and available to my friends and family.

On a sixth inning double, Sam Lyttle (24) nearly gets leapt over by Tuckahoe’s Kevin Hood, one of several players who out-sized Mechanicsville in the District V championship game.
Tuckahoe Little League dominates District V championships By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Mechanicsville American had two shots to walk away with a District V Little League (11-12) championship last week at Manchester but in the end they came away empty handed. Instead, Tuckahoe American beat Mechanicsville in back-to-

back contest to cap a dominating performance by the West End group where Tuckahoe Little League claimed four of the five baseball titles and three of five softball championships. Atlee (10-11 baseball), Mechanicsville (11-12 softball) and Chesterfield (Senior softball) were the only teams that kept Tuckahoe from a complete Little League sweep. Mechanicsville was undefeated in the winner’s bracket heading into the double-elimi-

nation championship game on Friday against Tuckahoe. Therefore they looked to be on solid footing to advance to the Little League State Tournament despite giving up several inches across the board to their tall opponents. “We were laughing because all of these guys we’re playing are like, four, five, six inches taller than my players,” said Mechanicsville manager Patrick Holler. “You look like giants see DISTRICT, pg. 37 `

Atlee’s Josh Brown (24) cannot beat a tag at the plate by Chamberlayne catcher Jakobe Anderson. Atlee earned a hard-fought 6-2 District V championship win over Chamberlayne to return to the Virginia state tournament this week in Lebanon, Va.
All-Stars return to states with hopes of repeat By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Last year, the Atlee All-Stars battled through the District V 9-10 year old tournament, muscled their way to a Virginia state title and finished third among Southeast Regional teams at the
Tournament of State Champions in West Virginia. This year, the team comprised of nearly the same members is looking for equal success on the 10-11 year old level. But first they had to get through a tough local battle. In their District V opener at Tuckahoe Little League Park, Atlee faced off against Chamberlayne Laburnum in far from typical first game. Though the Chamberlayne
All-Stars have seen lean years in the past, this particular group of young men raised the bar. Having barely lost to Mechanicsville in the 9-10 semifinals a year earlier, Chamberlayne was looking for a title this season and had the talent to accomplish that task. “This team right here, is the best team that Chamberlayne has had in a long time,” said manager Michael Uzzell. “This see ATLEE, pg. 39 `

over there compared to Sammy Lyttle and Jack Redick. It’s just kind of funny.” Mechanicsville took the field for warm-ups looking so sharp they drew daunted praise from the Tuckahoe fans in attendance. But something changed between practice and the start of game play. “I guess the nerves got to them to start with,” Holler said. “We made a few errors and errors always cause runs.” Facing Mechanicsville’s Zane Durbin on the mound, Tuckahoe’s Brian Edmonds reached on a one-out shot up the middle that allowed him to reach second on a bobble. Next up Kevin Hood sent a shot to third that was not fielded cleanly putting runners at the corners. Callaway Sigler’ hit into the middle of the field also refused to be corralled allowing Edmonds to score. With two outs, Hood scored on a pass ball for a quick 2-0 Tuckahoe lead.
But Mechanicsville answered in the bottom of the inning. Nolan Caler led off with a walk and reached third on a single from Dustin Barden. Caler scored on a wild pitch and with two outs Barden tied the game 2-2 on a single up the middle from Matthew Holler. Holler then gave Mechanicsville the lead, beating the throw to the plate on a single to left from Jack Rettig. However given the early confidence Tuckahoe refused to yield and knotted the game 3-3 on a home run from Bochic Long in the top of the second. Once again Mechanicsville answered, adding two more in the bottom of the inning. With bases loaded Caler scored on a wild pitch and Barden reached home on a single to third from Holler for a 5-3 lead. But Tuckahoe was in a groove. Edmonds started the third with a single to short and Hood doubled to the centerfield fence. A double to the left field fence from Sigler drove the pair home to knot the game 5-5 and brought Holler to the mound
in relief. Sigler then gave Tuckahoe a 6-5 lead on a groundout to short. The see-saw battle continued in the bottom of the third when Caler scored on a pass ball and Sam Lyttle gave Mechanicsville a 7-6 lead on a wild pitch. Tuckahoe found an answer again, knotting the game 7-7 in
Mechanicsville softball (11-12) rolling in state tournament Staff reports The Mechanicsville Little League softball team continues to roll in the state tournament. Two weeks ago they raced through the District V tournament at Huguenot Little League Park and there was no slowing down in the Virginia state tournament at Highland View in Bristol. In three pool games, Mechanicsville came away unscathed with a 3-0 record having outscored their
opponents 41-5. Essex (3-0) and McLean (2-0) were the only other pool teams that remained unbeaten. Entering the single elimination round, Mechanicsville had Monday off and was scheduled to play the winner of McLean vs Norton at 9 a.m. Tuesday. A victory by Mechanicsville would advance them to Little League championship to face either Essex, Bridgewater or Green Run at 3 p.m. Tuesday afternoon.
win. Patrick Holler felt nervous mistakes proved Mechanicsville’s undoing. “You look at the scoreboard and I would think three or four of those runs they scored were just because of errors,” he said. “But, it’s 12-year-old baseball. “It was a back and forth game and I think Tuckahoe played probably one of the best games they played in the tournament and hats off to them,” Holler added. “On any given day you can be beaten and today was their day. Hopefully tomorrow is ours.” But when the two teams returned to the field less than 15 hours later, Mechanicsville appeared to have left their moxie on the other side of town as Tuckahoe cruised to a 10-0 four inning win. “We laid an egg today,” Holler said. “We never got started,” he said. “They come in and jumped on the first couple batters, got hits. Then a boy hit a home run. We gave up four runs in the first inning and never answered them. We got nobody on base, one, two three, the bottom of the inning.” Holler felt the difficult loss on Friday evening coupled
R
with a quick turnaround played against his team. “I think we kind of got caught on our heals a little bit,” he said. “Going into that first game our expectations were we were going to handle them… even being kind of close, when we lost it, I don’t think the kids were ready to come back. Maybe if it was later today it possibly would have helped. They came in and went through warm-ups even a little sluggish. Just kind of going through the motions.” Still Holler was proud of his team’s effort. “Since they were eight until now this team has had a lot of success,” he said. “We’ve been in the championship game every year except one. I look at the kids and proud of them and just the success of getting to that championship game every year for the most part. They really worked hard and they’re a lot of good ball players.” Tuckahoe Amer.... 422 2 — 10 10 4 Mechanicsville A.. 000 0 — 0 2 1 Hood and Reifsnider, Peaden (2); Metheney, Morris (1) and Barden.

Mechanicsville’s Nolan Caler (5) slides in at home to score on a pass ball as the throw to Tuckahoe catcher Lucas Carlisle goes high. Mechanicsville battled Tuckahoe in a see-saw game Friday night before losing 9-8. In the Saturday morning rematch, Tuckahoe swept past Mechanicsville to claim the District V championship with a 10-0 four inning win.
the top of the fourth. But it was miscues on defense in the fifth and offense in the sixth that proved Mechanicsville’s undoing. With two outs, Travis Reitsnider sent a shot to the mound that Holler fielded from his knees, but the difficult throw to first that would have closed out the top of the inning was high allowing Tuckahoe to continue on offense. Next up Long doubled to center and a double up the first base line from Timmy McGinley drove the pair home for a 9-7 lead. Still, Mechanicsville looked to be in prefect position to savage the win in their final at-bat. A double from Lyttle was followed by singles from Mitchell Matheny and Caler to load the bags with no outs. A single to center by Cole Hicks drove in Lyttle to pull Mechanicsville within one, 8-9 with still no outs. But Rettig’s sacrifice fly to left went awry when it was ruled Matheny left early at third for an unusual double-play on the appeal. Next up, Holler’s shot to short was fielded cleanly by Edmonds who simply tagged Caler in the base path for the

Mechanicsville locks up Legion’s top slot
Photos by Charlie Leffler/The Locla
Above: In a contest between the American Legion’s two top teams, Mechanicsville’s Jack Edwards slides in at third to beat the throw to Lakeside, Post 125’s Casey Fox (5). At right, Post 175’s Brandon Angus soars but comes up just short in his attempt to rob Fox of a two-run homer in the top of the fifth inning. Mechanicsville won the contest 6-5 then locked up the regular season title with an 18-4 win over Powhatan Post 201 the following night.
By Jim Fields jfields@mechlocal.com In a Tuesday night matchup between the American Legion’s top two teams, Mechanicsville pitcher Michael Thomas pitched a complete game and his teammates scored just enough runs to give Post 175 a comefrom-behind 6-5 win over Lakeside Post 125 at Atlee High School. The win avenged an earlier 123 road loss to Lakeside and put the Mechanicsville team solidly in first place, guaranteeing them no less than a tie for the regular season title. Post 175 was 16-2 after the win and 125
dropped to 14-4. “Michael told me before the game he planned to go the distance,” said Post 175 coach Eddie Gates. “I went out and talked with him in the seventh after 125 put the potential tying run on base. He told me that he was fine and wanted to finish, so I let him go.” Thomas’ nine innings was a workman like effort as he gave up five runs on nine hits. He struck out four, walked two and hit a batter. Casey Fox was Thomas’ biggest problem as the 125 shortstop hit two homers and drove in three runs. But when it came to crunch time in the top of the ninth

inning, Thomas struck out Fox to end the game. “It was a big win for us, a real big win,” Thomas said. “Fox swings a big bat for them, and even though he touched me for two homers, he had three at bats where he made outs. This win puts us in the driver’s seat. If we just keep playing like we are capable, we should be alright.” Thomas didn’t have all of his pitch-

es working for him against Post 125. “I don’t know where my curve ball was,” he said. “I tried throwing it early and couldn’t get it to work. I had to rely on my fastball and our defense. Our defense made play-after-play. They did a great job getting outs when we needed to make a play.” After Post 125 took a 1-0 lead on a Fox homer in the top of the first, Post 175 answered with a two-run shot by Jordan Boze in the bottom of the inning. “I was just trying to put a good swing on the ball,” Boze said. “It was in the first inning, and I was just trying to get on base and move Will [Connerley] up. He had singled in front of me, and I was just trying to put him in scoring position.” Boze answered the call again for Post 175 in the third inning with a single to drive in a run and put Mechanicsville on top 4-2. Post 125 then rallied for three runs in the fifth to take a 5-4 lead with a two-run homer by Fox being the big
blow. “Every time they’d score and take the lead, we’d rally,” Gates noted. “We got hits when we needed them and that won the game for us.” Post 175 scored the winning runs in the bottom of the sixth with a twoout rally. Jack Edwards doubled to right and scored the tying run when Thomas was safe on a throwing error and wound up at second. Brandon Angus followed with a triple to right-center to score Thomas with what turned out to be the winning run.

Hanover County was represented well this past week at the Virginia High School Coaches Association All Star football game. Atlee, Lee-Davis and Hanover each had players participating in the contest. Among the state’s top standouts were Atlee’s Josh Doggett (24), Lee-Davis’ Brandon Robinson and Hanover’s Deane Cheatham (7).
team here that I have, we’ve been rolling since we were eight.” Atlee manager Rodney Chenault offered no arguments. “That’s a very good team.” With a newcomer, pitcher Mark Loving on the mound in the opener, Atlee pulled out to an early 3-1 lead then held on for a hard fought 7-3 victory over Chamberlayne. Teams rarely advance far after falling into the loser’s bracket after the first game, but Chamberlayne proved they were no ordinary team, notching five straight wins over five days to earn a rematch with Atlee in the championship. “We played them in the very first game and we beat them 7-3 and we said, ‘Hey, that’s a good team right there’,” Chenault said.
Local gymnasts excel at AUU National Meet
Aerial East Gymnastics, located in Mechanicsville, VA, just returned from the 2011 AUU Age Group National Meet. The meet was hosted by ESPN at the Wild World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Fl July 1 – 3, 2011. In total nine gymnasts from Aerial East competed for the Commonwealth of Virginia. The group competed 36 routines and medaled on 27; earning nine event national titles and two all-around titles. Here are a couple highlights of each gymnast: In the Open Optional Group 2: Megan Love (Mills Godwin, Sr.) won the All-Around with a score of 36.9 taking victories in vault
(9.5), bars (9.25) and beam (9.35). Kristin Valasek (Patrick Henry, So.) placed second AllAround (36.45) with second place finishes on bars (9.225) and beam (9.05), third in floor (9.25) and fourth on vault (8.925). Alexa Cohen (Mills Godwin, Sr.) placed fourth in the All-Around, second in the vault (9.4) and floor (9.3) as well as third on the beam (9.0). Hannah Burruss (Hanover, So.) took fourth on bars and floor, fifth on vault as well as AllAround. In Level 8 (Group 3) Kaylee Wead (Home schooled, So.) was the All-Around champion (36.25) after winning bars (9.375) and beam while taking
second in vault (9.025). In Level 8 (Group 2) Alexis Dabney (Hermitage, Fr.) took third All-Around after winning the bars (9.175) beam (9.25) and placing fifth in the vault. Emily Cohen (Mills Godwin, Fr.) was fourth in the bars and floor to earn fifth All-Around. Katelyn Isaac (King William, Fr.) was the vault champion (9.4) placed sixth on the beam and eighth All-Around. In Open Optional (Group 1) Taylor Gomes (Conway ES, 6th) was the All-Around champion, beam champion as well as third on vault, bars and floor. Submitted by Tiffany Kirkham
“And you can tell, they went all the way through the loser’s bracket and got back to see us in the finals.” The fact that Chamberlayne would need to beat Atlee twice to take the championship did not seem to faze the team from Laburnum. Instead it was Atlee that appeared to be unsettled by the pressure of the moment. Facing Loving on the mound for a second time, Chamberlayne’s Nick Corbin led off with a shot to right that was bobbled, advanced to second on a pitch in the dirt then reached third on a one-out shot from Jamari Baylor that was also not fielded cleanly. Daniel Mumphrey then sent the ball up the middle and it too was not fielded cleanly allowing Corbin to score. Baylor rounded third looking to add to the lead and clearly beat the throw home, but was ruled out because he slid in head first; an illegal move at the lower levels of Little League. “I think everybody was a little bit tight when we first started,” said Chenault. Loving (7 K’s in 5 1/3 innings) then struck out Jakobe Anderson to allow Atlee to escape with no further damage. Though Atlee’s defense was not up to its usual sharpness at the onset, there was little question about their offense when they quickly answered in the bottom of the first. Facing Chamberlayne’s big pitcher Mumphrey, Nick Zona led off with a single. It appeared Atlee might stall when Mumphrey struck out the next two batters but another newcomer to this year’s Atlee team, Josh Plummer, reignited the offense with a single past first. Loving then reached second after bouncing a shot over the infield defense to drive in Zona and Plummer for a 2-1 lead. Loving gave up a walk to lead off the second but then struck out the next three Chamberlayne batters to bring Atlee back to the plate where

they added one more run on a bases loaded walk of Plummer that pushed home Zona for a 3-1 lead. Chamberlayne trimmed the margin in the top of the fourth when Anderson led off with a single up the middle then scored on a groundout from Jaymare Fleming to pull Laburnum within 3-2. But once again Atlee had an answer. Jack Dragum sent a one-out double to the centerfield wall and eventually scored on a wild pitch for a 4-2 lead. Atlee added two more in the bottom of the fifth when a single to right from Mason Cox drove in Jack Goleski and a based loaded walk of Plummer pushed in Cox to create the final score. There was no doubt about the returned sharpness of the Atlee squad. Sensing the win in the top of the sixth, the defense made quick work of Chamberlayne to take the District V title. Despite the loss, Uzzell was proud of his team’s effort and is already looking forward to next season. “They had a good year this year,” he said. “We made some key adjustments from last year…We lost the game because of errors but we’ll be back next
year.” For Atlee, Chenault is hoping to capitalize on the experience of last year’s state championship run in Abington. “We’re actually going to try to stay in the same hotel that we stayed in last time,” he said. “It’s (state tournament) in Lebanon, Va., which is about 20 miles north of Abington but there’s nothing out there so we’re going stay at the same place.” Chenault wants to keep his players hungry for more. “I just told the kids, ‘We wanted to get this one but we know what it’s like to get the next one and that’s the goal,” he said. “Play one game at a time and hopefully we’re going to get it done.”
