Nuisance animal ordinance OK’d By Jim Fields jfields@mechlocal.com After hearing plea after plea from county residents to do so, the Hanover County Board of Supervisors approved a nuisance animal ordinance that goes into effect on Sept. 1. Ten citizens spoke in favor of the ordinance and each had a story to support its need. No opposition was voiced during the July 27 meeting and public hearing. Several speakers talked about dogs running free that come onto their property and chase — and even attack — their own domestic animals and pets. They also spoke of fears for their own safety from roaming packs of dogs and noted that having a leash law for just three months of the year – April, May and June – wasn’t long enough. Under the ordinance, animals – wild, domestic, companion and exotic – are considered a nuisance if certain actions occur more than once, with
some problems having to occur “If we have a dog that has three or more times. attacked and bitten someone, Chasing, threatening or we aren’t going to wait for a harassing vehicles, bicycles or second incident to take action pedestrians on a public or pri- against the dog and its owner,” vate right-of-way, not owned Randolph said. “In most cases, or controlled by the owner of a first time offense will receive a the alleged warning and a nuisance anisecond could “If we have a mal can cause be a fine of up an animal to to $250 and dog that has be viewed as restriction that attacked and a nuisance if could include bitten someone, the act occurs confinement we aren’t going to of the animal.” on two or wait for a second more separate The ordioccasions. nance doesn’t incident to take The two action against the apply to any or more rule while dog and its owner.” person also applies engaged in law REBECCA RANDOLPH to an animal enforcement Assistant county attorney chasing liveor search and stock, biting rescue activa person so ity, in a superas to cause physical injury and vised formal obedience training trespassing on school grounds, class or show, during formally public parks or playgrounds. sanctioned field trials, while Assistant County Attorney engaged in lawful hunting with Rebecca Randolph assured the a dog or dogs during open seasupervisors and audience that son, or during bona fide huntthe two or more rule has excep- ing or field trial dog training. tions.

the ordinance says no canine or canine crossbreed shall be found to be a nuisance animal solely because it is a particular breed, nor is ownership of a particular breed of canine or canine crossbreed prohibited. The first paragraph of the ordinance says that animal owners should exercise proper care and control of their domestic, companion, wild or exotic animals to prevent them from becoming a public nuisance. After reading the paragraph, Randolph noted, “The large majority of animal owners already do this.” Supervisors Aubrey M. “Bucky” Stanley, Beaverdam; G. Ed Via III, Ashland; Robert R. Setliff, Chickahominy; Elton J. Wade Sr., Cold Harbor; and John E. Gordon Jr., South Anna; voted 5-0 to pass the ordinance. Mechanicsville District Supervisor Deborah B. Winans and Henry District Supervisor Charles D. McGhee were absent.
Stanley asked that photos of the school or fellow classmates be sent to Jim Vass at jimvass@ yahoo.com. RSVP to Stanley at 368-0035 by Sept. 16.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
Community is truly at heart in Hanover Was so impressed to see on our Facebook page — www.facebook.com/ mechlocal — that one of Hanover County’s neighborhoods had shared information about its page on the popular — and ever-growing — social media site. Nathan Cox established the page for residents in the Spring Meadows neighborhood of Mechanicsville. How cool is that? He has invited residents, as well as those who frequent the neighborhood “due to friends, family or business,” to join. After he posted, “It would be great if The Local could publish a brief article about it,” we agreed and decided to share the news in this format. If you want to become a part of the Spring Meadows Facebook page, go to http://www.facebook.com/WholsNateCox#!/SpringMeadowsNeigh borhood. In his post, Cox said he “created this page for many reasons,” including: bringing the community together (solidarity); easier/more efficient to share neighborhood/Hanover County news; neighborhood/county announcements; crime, suspicious activity; a soon-to-be-formed Neighborhood Watch program; neighborhood running/exercise clubs; lost pets, lost children, etc. (You get the idea.) We agree with Cox that the page can serve as a good tool to communicate within the neighborhood. And it’s something we all should consider.

Volunteers stop waste by directing school traffic I recently read The Hanover Review and the comment from our chairman of the Board of Supervisors that there are volunteers directing school traffic. I am glad to see that someone finally stepped in and stopped the waste of money that we were paying for this service. I also question why we would use volunteers when we already have trained, paid people to do this. In the same issue, I see we are now overstaffed with chairmen of the board as Ed Via is also listed as chairman. If I were the chairman, I would be a little upset seeing they put in a backup. Five of the seven supervisor seats are being contested this year (so far). Should we believe this is because everyone is pleased with the current administration? The governments (local, state, federal) may eventually
realize that we don’t believe as they say, we are their No. 1 concern. And I forgot which Cold Harbor/Henry District Patriot recently made the following comment: see LETTERS, pg. 8

tery, added water and tried to jumpstart my truck, but to no avail. To him, I will “pay it forward.” The second gentleman, was “George,” who stayed until two younger gentlemen again tried to jumpstart the truck and even tried to jump it via the solenoid, again, to no avail. A Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office deputy showed up to block the lane, while the two younger gentlemen proceeded to push my truck across the intersection to the bank parking lot across the street. Remember this was one of the hottest, most humid days we’ve had this summer. I didn’t get their names, but I want them all to know that I offer my heartfelt gratitude for helping get me out of the traffic pattern and to a safe place. It makes me happy to know that even with all the unpleasant news in this world, there are still great Southern gentlemen around and are willing to help out a stranger. Thank y’all!

Recently my neighbors and I have been experiencing a variety of issues with our cable provider. After attempting to resolve the problems on my own without any success, I reached out to Del. Chris Peace of the 97th District in hopes that he would be able to help seek a resolution to these issues. Del. Peace and his staff responded to my request in a quick and timely fashion, and was instrumental in connecting me with the right people in order to work towards a solution. The delegate was extremely helpful and demonstrated that
he truly does care about the needs and concerns of his constituents. I am thankful for the service that the delegate has given to the Commonwealth, and I hope The residents of the 97th District will continue to allow him to serve us in the Virginia House of Delegates. Ralph Kelley Mechanicsville
In response to recent letter This letter is in reply to Shannon Harrell’s letter in the July 20 edition of The Mechanicsville Local. Dear Ms. Harrell, What prompted you to all of a sudden to attack members of the LGBT community? What have they done to you? If I were you, I would just keep my head buried in my Bible. Have you never heard “Live and let live?” Jean Lewis Mechanicsville
Judging lifestyles Upon reading the letter to the editor entitled “Lifestyle scripture cited,” a few thoughts ran through my mind. The writer mentions how sad it is that gays and lesbians can consider themselves Christian and sit in church and not be “convicted” of an “immoral lifestyle;” to this, I must respond: How sad it is that someone can believe themself to be a “Christian” when they are so quick to judge others for how they were born, as well as those open-minded religious officials who would consider members of the gay and lesbian communities to be brothers and sisters in Christ. The scripture cited in the letter was 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.”
Who are we, humans, to determine what is “immoral?” I do believe that in the Bible it says the only person fit to judge man is God; not our fellow man. And furthermore, what happened to tolerance, love and acceptance? Weren’t those fundamental tenants of the Christian faith as well as the teachings of Jesus? The next scripture cited was ”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.” Does this mean if a man doesn’t like “manly things” such as sports and cars, they go to hell for being “effeminate?” If I’m jealous that my best friend has a nicer car than I do, am I going to hell for coveting her? Does everyone who has sex doomed to hell for being a fornicator? And furthermore, the entire letter was reveling by nature; judging a group of people for how they were born, and trying to deny them their faith; as well as judging the pastors who would, just as our good Lord would, welcome them with open. People cannot help who they are, and God does not forsake people for how he made them. So long as one is willing to profess his dedication and service to the Lord, he will never turn his back on his children. God shouldn’t have mercy on the GLBT community and those that pastor them. No, God should have mercy on the people who would try to pass judgment on others, on the people who harbor hatred and prejudice in their heart and are see LETTERS, pg. 15

Bishop dedicates garden at Immanuel Episcopal ishop Edwin F. “Ted” Gulick, accompanied by the Rev. Ryan Kuratko and members of the community, blessed and dedicated the new entrance garden at Immanuel Episcopal in Old Church in loving memory of Robin Vaughan Minich, a much-loved member of the congregation, and in celebration of all God’s children on Sunday, July 17. Robin worked for the Virginia Association of Soil and Water Conservation Districts before she died after a long battle with cancer in 2000. Facing Old Church Road, the perennial garden is enclosed by a semi-circular wall known as the Welcome Wall. It is topped with more than 150 bricks engraved with personal messages from area residents, Immanuel members and The Cherub School students, staff and alumni. The wall was dedicated last year in thanksgiving for Immanuel, The Cherub School and the Old Church Community. “We are glad to have such a concrete reminder of God’s welcome to all of God’s children at our main entrance. It is a powerful symbol for this community,” Kuratko said. One of Immanuel’s most well-known ministries is The Cherub School, a preschool for children aged 2½ to 5.
B
The school has served hundreds of children from surrounding communities since it was established in 1988. About 60 children attend the half-day school each year. Stay-and-play and summer camp programs also are offered. Brick engravings include names, anniversaries, Bible verses, song phrases and memorial and thank-you messages. “Love,” “Thanks,” “God” and “Welcome” are the most frequently used words. According to church officials, there is still room for about 30 more personalized bricks. Orders for engraved bricks will continue to be accepted until they are sold out. Bricks cost $65 each. Gift certificates also are available. Each brick is approximately 4x8 inches and may be engraved with as many as three lines of text and up to 16 characters per line. Spaces count as characters. Order forms are available from immanueloc.org or 7793454. The community is invited to visit the historic church building for a self-guided tour and to read the Welcome Wall. Everyone also is welcome to participate in Sunday worship at 10 a.m. during the summer. Nursery care is provided. Refreshments are offered after

The congregation of Immanuel Episcopal Church in Old Church recently celebrated the dedication of an entrance garden in honor of Robin Vaughan Minich, a member of the congregation. She died in 2000 after a lengthy battle with cancer. The crowd is shown at the garden in the top photo.

the service. Immanuel Church is a Virginia Historical Landmark and has been placed on the National Registry of Historic Places by the U.S. Department of the Interior. The origins of the church date to the early 18th century, when a frame church structure was shared with several other
local congregations. Among the early communicants was famed orator Patrick Henry, whose uncle was rector. The present brick church was constructed in 1853, largely due to the efforts of George Washington Bassett, grandnephew of Martha Custis Washington. The church is considered to
be one of the best examples of Gothic Revival architecture in the country. It represents the revitalization of the Episcopal Church in Virginia and the United States during the two decades prior to the Civil War. During the Civil War, the property served as a field hospital and army headquarters. Immanuel Church is located at 3263 Old Church
Road, just minutes from the center of Mechanicsville. From Mechanicsville, go east on U.S. 360 and turn right on Route 606 (Old Church Road) at West Store. Immanuel is 1.5 miles on the right.

Support for Monaghan I think it is marvelous that the Virginia Department of Transportation put the piece of property that holds the burial ground on hold and that they sent an archeologist to inspect it instead of mot listening and just selling the property. I believe that Kevin Monaghan is doing the right thing to try to save the burial ground because it could be someone’s family and even if they do not find anyone who knows who is buried there you are still digging up someone’s grandparents. If they did build over it think if it was your family what would you say or do. If the people did buy it and try to build things on the land I think they would feel horrible inside. I hope that Kevin Monaghan and others helping can save and preserve the burial ground forever. Nikolas Morrison (age 12) Mechanicsville

years. In other words, what Cantor is pushing down the throats of rank and file GOP members is a plan that continues deficit spending, adds to the debt, further erodes the nation’s credit rating, and maintains the very course that so many freshman Republicans were elected in 2010 to alter. Hopefully, the Virginia 7th will get a freshman congressman of its own one of these days. Then maybe the GOP will begin to deliver on its promises. Joseph Pierro Mechanicsville

dent for instructional leadership,� said HBC president Owen Matthews. “She’s been a principal, an assistant principal, a curriculum specialist, and probably, most importantly, a classroom teacher.� Wilson acknowledged the special relationship between Hanover schools and local businesses and said she will continue to foster that special interaction. “Building relationships is key to leadership,� she said. The Spotsylvania native said she knew early in her career that Hanover County was the right fit for her. “I knew I wanted to be here in Hanover,� she said. She told a full house audience something most already knew. “I lead most effectively through an example of care, knowledge and passion for what I do. I am passionate about what I do,� she said. Wilson, married for 19 years and the mother of two boys, said she is spending the first days of her new administration
getting to meet and talk with people in the community. “I have scheduled, over the course of three months, about 75 to 85 meetings,� she said. “I’ve been in the county for 19 years but I should never presume to know everything. My role as superintendent is to lead the organization and provide leadership within the community,� Wilson added. She said Hanover schools have a traditionally strong relationship with local businesses, and the system prides itself on its high graduation rates, low dropout rates and ability to tailor its schools to produce well-trained employees for county businesses. Wilson said the Hanover Trades and Technology Center has waiting lists on most of its vocational programs and enrollment has doubled since it opened four years ago. “We have more requests than we have space,� she said. She said it’s just one of the many success stories in Hanover schools. “We are a fantastic school division supported by a incredible community who serve the best
students in the world.� Wilson said the system can’t afford to rest on it laurels. “There’s always a new challenge, so we have to figure out what we can do to move forward.� The new superintendent said financial challenges are always a top priority for any school system, but her job has been made easier by good planning and foresight. “Our School Board provides incredible leadership, and allows us to us to think about how we can plan for the far term, not just the near term. Because of that planning and forethought, we have been able to cover increases in our health insurance and utilities,� Wilson said. She said it would be her goal to protect Hanover’s top rated standing in the state’s educational mix, while keeping a close eye to the future challenges and listening to the community she serves. “We thank you for your continued support,� Wilson said. “We know that the investment that you make in us is why we are able to do the kinds of things that we do — why student achievement soars and excels.�
grave sites on the property, the Department of General Services of the Commonwealth of Virginia sold it. Carlos Usuda, the owner of Hi-Tech Asphalt Solutions, has been identified by one of his employees as the successful bidder. The small section of property that does have grave sites on it is owned by Leonard Dabney. In a telephone conversation with Dabney on July 26, he indicated that the African-Americans

“When it was obvious it was going to go out for bids, I submitted an offer for $330,000, which was the appraised value of the land,” he continued. “My bid wasn’t accepted and the property was listed with a real estate firm for sale at $375,000. I then submitted a second bid for that amount.” Barlow said his real estate agent, Jonathan Ceasar, subsequently received an e-mail from Tom Vozenilek with CB Richard Ellis, the listing brokerage company, saying they received offers at and above the asking price and they had been instructed go through a best and final round [of bidding].

In a June 10 e-mail to Hugh C. Hubinger, transactions manager for the Division of Real Estate Services, Commonwealth of Virginia, Barlow asked why his original $330,000 offer wasn’t accepted. Hubinger replied by e-mail on June 13 that he couldn’t find a full price offer from Barlow. He said his last correspondence was that the property was still being evaluated. Hubinger also said the property was being listed with CB Richard Ellis, a real estate brokerage firm and he would provide them with Barlow’s contact information as an interested party.
property that Mr. Monaghan now owns,” Dabney said. “I forgot about the pictures and left them in a closet. He found them and has them at his office. They are more or less on loan to him, and I can get them anytime I want to go and pick them up.” Monaghan confirmed that he owns the house Dabney mentioned. “It’s a nice little farmhouse,” he said. “I believe it’s the house Mr. Dabney grew up in. We are using it as a rental property and have tenants living there.”
As for developing the land, don’t look for a fast food restaurant or convenience store there anytime soon. “The land is in my district, and it’s zoned A-1,” Elton J. Wade Sr.., Cold Harbor District representative on the Hanover Board of Supervisors, said. “There’s no water or sewer hookups on the property, and with an A-1 designation, there won’t be. If the new owner wants to develop it, he’ll have to get the approval of several county agencies, including the Board of Supervisors. It would be a long process.” Barlow indicated Wade’s assessment might not be correct. “The front of the property is zoned B-3 and the back A-1,” he said. “Remember this was a VDOT property, and there is a well, septic tank, diesel fuel and gas tanks already there.”

Our Family !
Awesome Dental Practice! I had a piece of bonding chip off of a tooth and needed to get it fixed. I was new to the area and searched online for dentists. Marks Family Dentistry had a great website, and I was able to contact them that way. I got a phone call the next morning from them and the receptionist was so friendly! I was able to get an appointment for the next day, and they were so prompt, no waiting. Dr. Marks fixed my tooth’s bonding in less than 30 min. I am extremely happy with their service and will be back. I will take my kids there too. Thanks to the great staff and doctors there!!!

2011 ODAC Fooball Preview
Generals receive top nod in league poll Tigers, Jackets and Eagles will be in the running By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com In a ballot among Old Dominion Athletic Conference coaches, Washington and Lee University received five of a possible seven first place votes to earn the top slot in this year’s preseason league poll. The Generals were tabbed repeat after a undefeated ODAC run last year. After playing through a 4-6 record in 2009, Generals coach Frank Miriello was simply looking to notch a winning record in 2010. “I was hoping we’d come out of there with a five-six wins season,” he said. “We started off 1-2 and I was sort of concerned about that.” But W&L (8-3 overall, 6-0 ODAC) rolled through their final six regular season games to sweep ODAC play, earned a league title and a NCAA playoff berth a year earlier than Miriello anticipated. “That was somewhat of a surprise for me,” he said. “I was looking ahead to maybe this year, this coming season…this season might be the one where we had a shot to contend for a title. I saw things coming they just happened a whole lot faster than I thought.” While W&L was a surprise to everyone last year, they will not sneak up on anyone this season. The Generals will enter the season ranked No. 19 by Sporting News and boasting a powerful offense that averaged 438.8

yards per game and scored a school record 35.3 ppg. The offense was led by a running game that set ODAC singleseason records with 651 carries, 3,955 yards and 43 rushing touchdowns. W&L rushed for over 400 yards in six games including a string of five straight in the middle of ODAC play. The Generals return 17 starters from last season including four Olinemen to block for junior backs Luke Heinsohn (1321 yds, 13 TDs) and Brett Murray (738 yds, 9 TDs). Fourth year starting quarterback Charlie Westfal returns as a solid weapon in the pocket, hurting defenses with his arm (51of-102, 818 yds, 11 TDs) and was equally dangerous running the ball (523 yds, 7 TDs). The defense will be led by safety Jake Pelton, who returns as a Sporting News Preseason All-American. Also dangerous at defensive back is John Kavanaugh, who finished last season with 43 tackles and four interceptions. However, repeating as league champions will not come easy for W&L with road trips to Emory & Henry, Hampden Sydney and RandolphMacon. H-SC head coach Matry Favret joked of using his home field advantage when it comes to getting the upper hand. “We’ll probably grow the grass about a foot high and slow down that offense a little bit.” But, Miriello feels it does not matter where his team plays. “A road trip to me is really no big deal,” he said. “It’s just another game on our schedule…I don’t believe this whole home field advantage thing and don’t stress it. It’s

all about having a great week in practice and getting after it.” Hampden-Sydney and Bridgewater each earned one of the two remaining votes to claim the second and third slots in the ODAC poll respectively. Both schools are listed by Sporting News as teams to watch this season. While W&L was burning up the turf on the ground last season, Hampden-Sydney (9-2, 6-1) led the way through the air with CDS Preseason All-American quarterback senior Travis Lane. The Mills Godwin product turned in an ODAC first team performance last season throwing for 3,338 yds and 28 TDs as part of an offense that averaged 307.6 passing yards per game. The Tigers top two receivers, seniors Kyle Vance (103.2 ypg) and Clover Hill product Sean Cavanaugh (90.2 ypg), also return. In all, H-SC returns their top 10 offensive players from a team that made the NCAA playoffs last season and they will provide the opposing ODAC defenses with a difficult challenge this year. H-SC averaged 33.1 points per game despite losing, Kirk Rohle (Hanover), to a broken leg in their third game. In three 2010 appearances, Rohle averaged 95.3 rushing yards per game and is back healthy this season. Junior Evan King and sophomore Chris Shembo return after gaining valuable rushing experience in Rohle’s absence. Offense and scoring may prove vital to the Tiger’s championship hopes because the defense will be young. “That’s going to be our challenge; get-
ting through the early part of the season while we grow up on defense,” said H-SC head coach Marty Favret. “Hopefully our offense will give us a chance to win some games early and as we get more experience and get our defense where we think it needs to be.” Only two of H-SC top nine tacklers and four of their top 13 return from last season. Junior safety Steven Fogleman (Hanover) is the top returning defender with 91 tackles last season. H-SC will also be looking for linebacker Kenny Fryman (Hanover) to play a major role on the defense this season. Bridgewater (8-2, 4-2) also has holes to fill, replacing their quarterback and top receiver from last season as well as their linebacking corp. On the positive side, the Eagles do return virtually every player on both the offensive and defensive line which will help during the transition. Randolph-Macon (7-3, 3-3) should fill the role as ODAC dark horse this season. Few are talking about the Yellow Jackets’ championship hopes despite the fact they return a majority of their top producers on both offense and defense from a season ago. R-MC led the league in scoring last year averaging 41.6 ppg., and rolled up 449.1 ypg of total offense. The Jackets produced a powerful twoheaded running attack behind junior Drake Sanders (90.9 ypg) and senior Thaddeus Scruggs (90.7 ypg). Though R-MC will replace starting quarterback Austin Faulkner and top wide receiver Earl Peoples, their cabi-
2011 ODAC FOOTBALL PRESEASON POLL 1. Wash. & Lee (5) 35 pts 2. Hampen-Sydney (1) 31 pts 3. Bridgewater (1) 25 pts 4. Randolph-Macon 21 pts 5. Emory & Henry 15 pts 6. Catholic 14 pts 7. Guilford 6 pts net is far from bare. In all the Jackets return eight of their top 10 offensive performers from last season. Going into camp, sophomore Greg Petrohovich (Benedictine) looked to be the top candidate to take over in the pocket. Petrohovich got valuable experience last season when Faulkner was lost to injury after the seventh game. However, R-MC head coach Pedro Arruza pointed out that Petrohovich could possibly be beaten out by a highly talented group of freshman quarterbacks that join the team this year. Junior halfback Vance Hendren (Powhatan) and senior tight end Dan Crouch are the top returning receivers from last season while senior Bryan Overstreet (Patrick Henry) will be back on the offensive line. “I’d say the strengths of our football team are going to be on the offensive line, our running backs and our tight ends,” Arruza said. “Our tight end situation, if everybody stays healthy, is as good a situation as we’ve ever had.” The Yellow Jackets return eight starters on defense and 11 of their top 15 tacklers from last season.

Lesson learned: The best team doesn’t always win Atlee educated in state loss By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Last weekend in Lebanon, Va. the Atlee 10-11 All-Stars were well on their way to wrapping up their second consecutive state Little League championship when a string bad luck played its part in a 10-9 loss to Great Falls in the title game. Atlee had dominated pool play, sweeping past their four opponents by a combined score of 42-0. Facing Poquoson in Sunday’s single elimination championship round, Atlee showed no signs of cooling off. Second inning homers from Jack Dragum and Adam Jewel contributed to a 9-0 lead and 15-0 four inning victory. While Atlee’s offense was turning heads, their defense was even more impressive. In five contests, Atlee gave up four hits. But the team knew the final two games would be their toughest. Atlee manager Rodney Chenault had DumfriesTriangle-Quantico (DTQ) and Great Falls tabbed as the teams to beat when they first arrived in Lebanon. Atlee had played both teams last year on their way to the 910 state championship, losing to DTQ in pool play then beating them in the semifinals. But it was Great Falls that gave Atlee their biggest challenge last year in a 43 extra inning win in the opening round of elimination play. This year’s schedule had Atlee slated to play DTQ at 10 a.m. Monday morning and a victory would carry them to the state championship game at 1 p.m. that afternoon. But the 10-11 year olds quickly learned that anything can happen in the game of base-

ball. In the top of the second inning Atlee held a 3-0 lead when the game went into its first of three rain delays. Not only was the game halted but the field they were playing on became so saturated play could not be resumed in that location. So, Atlee and DTQ were forced to wait until the Great Falls versus Fleet Park game ended to take the field behind them. “We let them finish their game and then we had another rain delay,” Chenault said. Finally, the game between 10-11 year olds that started at 10 a.m. finished with an Atlee 5-1 victory at 9 p.m. The championship game was rescheduled for the following morning. But the delayed wrap up in the semifinals was only one in a string of what can only be considered bad luck that often unseats dominant teams. Because the game was originally slated as a double-header,
Little League pitching rules applied. “The way the pitching rules were, if you threw one pitch in the 10 o’clock game you wouldn’t be able to throw any in the championship game,” Chenault said. “Little League rules say that a player can’t pitch in two games in one day.” That eliminated Atlee from using Dragum, their ace, in the championship. Atlee also did not get much rest Monday night. Thinking the tournament would end that day, the team had checked out of their hotel room, which was a 40 minute drive from the ball field. After checking back in and getting something to eat, the players did not get into bed until 11 p.m. “We were back at the ball park at 8:30 a.m. the next morning,” Chenault said. Despite little sleep, Atlee came out on fire and took advantage of errors by Great Falls to jump to a 7-0 lead in the top of the first. Jack Goleski
broke the contest open with not only his first home run but his first grand slam. Great Falls scored twice in the bottom of the first but Dragum answered with a homer in the second. After three innings of play, Atlee led 9-3. Mark Loving pitched a solid 3 2/3 innings but when Atlee made a pitching change the Great Falls’ bats came alive. “They just started hitting the ball and that’s all she wrote,” Chenault said. Great Falls knotted the game 9-9 by the end of the fourth inning and the score remained the same going into the final inning of regulation. That was when fate struck Atlee once again. With two outs, Atlee had Josh Plummer on third looking to break the tie on a pass ball. “Every single time in the tournament, if there was a pass ball at home you could score,” Chenault said. But not on this occasion.
Instead of the stray ball running loose, it bounced perfectly off the screen backstop and into the catcher’s hands. “It wasn’t like he had to even throw it to the pitcher,” Chenault said. “The catcher had the ball waiting for Josh Plummer.” Instead of leading 10-9 and remaining at bat, Atlee took the field on defense hoping to force extra innings. “We got two outs in the bottom of the sixth and it’s looking like, ‘Okay, we’re going to go to extra innings’,” Chenault said. But Great Falls’ Colin Farrell came to the plate and hit a walkoff solo home run to end the game. Though disappointed with the loss, Chenault felt his players learned several lessons from the game. “We realized that we’ve got to play a perfect game and obvi-
ously we’ve got to keep working hard because everybody else is working hard too,” he said. Now with a state championship win and a state championship loss under their belts, Atlee has a wealth of motivation and baseball experience heading toward their ultimate goal next season: The Little League World Series. “That’s the goal we’ve had for years,” Chenault said. “We need to continue to work in the off season and keep developing players. I think we’re a better team this year than we were last year. “We’ve won some big games and lost some big games,” Chenault added. “In each one, the kids have learned what it takes. It takes hard work to get better and with baseball, you’re not going to win every game.”

Dangerously high temperatures last week forced tournament organizers to delay the start of play and reduced the number of games that could be played. Storms over the weekend further scrambled the tournament schedule. Finally, last Monday night, the two remaining contenders, Mechanicsville National and Huguenot American, braved the threat of more rain at the Atlee Youth Sports Complex to decide whether the title would go north or south of the James River. Mechanicsville pitcher Bryce Jones led the National as it gave Coach Steve Parent a birthday present with an 8-1 victory. Jones scattered four Huguenot hits and held the American to just one run through four innings. Closer Hayden Harris shut Huguenot down in the fifth inning and helped Mechanicsville’s cause offensively as well, going 3-for3 with one double and one run scored. “To fight through the heat

and everything we’ve gone through … to see it all come together and beat a very good ball team that soundly, that’s hitting the pinnacle of what you can do with a 9-year-old kid,” Parent said. “We’re really proud of them.” The Mechanicsville offense was helped by nine walks addition to its eight hits. Tyler Warren walked twice and scored twice, and Coleton Payne doubled in a run. But the weather was the real story of the tournament. On the opening day of championship bracket play, the high temperature in Richmond hit 99 degrees. On Friday, it rose to 102 degrees. On Saturday the high was 101 degrees; by the time the temperatures cooled enough for the boys to safely play, severe thunderstorms swept through
Mechanicsville and further scrambled the schedule. On Sunday the high temperature fell to 99, with more thunderstorms passing through town. But the weather settled enough to allow the tournament to finish the next day. The primary worry was for the health of those on the field. “That’s a huge concern. The catchers, the umpires, they get real hot,” said Huguenot coach Tim Rader. “With all the gear – and they’re moving all the time while everyone else is out in the open – it’s tough.” But Rader said all the players were affected by the heat. “After about four innings, they’re whipped,” Rader said. Mechanicsville coach Chris Cray agreed. “It’s naturally a concern with young kids,” Cray said.
“It’s going to be tough to get their best effort with the heat. The concentration is the first thing that goes when it gets hot. We saw that not only with our team, but with other teams. They physical part comes out afterwards. Our guys are well hydrated, it’s only six innings, so we just toughed it out.” Cray praised Jones’ work on the mound. “He was great today,” Cray said. “He has been doing it for us all year for me. He struggled the last couple of times out and I held down below 20 pitches. “So today was great. He was awesome today. He was, you know, seven-out-of-10 pitches for strikes, that’s all you can ask for in a 9-year-old pitcher. He got ahead in the count, he got leadoff hitters off every time, that’s what it’s all about.”

Even though the weather made each game seem longer as the boys, coaches, and umpires wilted on the field – the longer duration had some benefits. “The kids got to play for a
longer period of time,” Rader said. “It’s kind of nice that we got to play for such a long period of time. It’s just like a sevengame series in the pros. … That was a lot of fun.”

Teenager Anderson will play in local pro event By Vic Dorr Jr. Media General News Services Some people measure growth with a ruler and a pencil and marks on a door frame. Lyberty Anderson soon will use a tool of a different sort: the 6,278-yard Richmond Country Club golf course. Anderson, a 15-year-old who has won three consecutive Richmond Women’s Golf Association championships, has accepted an invitation to participate as an amateur in next month’s LPGA Futures Tour $100,000 Eagle Classic at RCC. Anderson participated in the event once previously. Well, sort of. She shot 84 in an 18hole qualifying round as an 11-year-old in 2008. “But that was before I really started to grow,” she said. “Now, I’m a little bigger and a little stronger. I’ve got some muscle now. This should be fun. I haven’t played (RCC) since 2008, so I’m very eager to see what happens.” She said she will enter the 54-hole event with modest expectations. “I won’t go in with any wild and crazy goals,” she said. “I’d like to make the cut. I think that’s reasonable. I’m not going to look any farther. If more than (making the cut) happens — yea. That’s great. But I’ll worry about that if I get there.” Tournament director/ Richmond Country Club professional Matthew Schulze said the tournament has long been eager to see Anderson in the 144-player field. “I think we’ve all known since the day we started that one day Lyberty was going to play in this event,” Schulze said. “Now we’ve reached that point. To be quite honest, (extending a bid to the rising high school sophomore) wasn’t a difficult decision.” Schulze said Anderson is

EAGLE CLASSIC- LPGA Futures Tour Where: Richmond Country Club When: Aug. 12-14 an appealing addition not only because of her ability but also because of her visibility. “She’s a homegrown 15year-old who has the skill to play with these girls,” he said. “She’ll help us. She’ll give people in Richmond another reason to come out and watch women’s golf.” When set up in its Futures Tour configuration, RCC is roughly 1,100 yards longer than The Dominion Club course on which the 2011 RWGA tournament was held. Even so, Anderson said she is not concerned about her ability to compete off the tee with professionals in their early to mid 20s. “I don’t think (distance) is going to be that big of a deal,” she said. “Whenever I practice with my dad, we always play from the men’s tees. So it’s not like I’ve never played 6,200 yards before.” Anderson didn’t qualify for the match-play portion of last week’s U.S. Junior Girls Championship at Olympia Fields near Chicago. She did,
however, hit two memorable tee shots: a 4-iron to the center of the green on a 210-yard par-3 and a 310-yard drive that flew 270 yards before riding a downslope for another 40. Anderson, who reached the round of 16 in the recent VSGA Women’s Championship, conceded that “playing with pros might be a little intimidating. But it should be exciting, too. I’m very thankful — I’m stoked, actually — to have this opportunity. I’m going to make every effort to enjoy it. “Here’s how I see it: It’s going to be a great learning experience for me. I mean, who better to learn from (than a pro)? I’m going to try to absorb everything I can. They’re doing what I want to do someday. Where they are is where I want to be someday.” The Eagle Classic will be held Aug. 12-14. Proams will take place Aug. 10 (1 p.m.) and Aug. 11 (8:30 a.m.), followed by the three-day tournament.
Randolph-Macon head football coach Pedro Arruza, center, and his Yellow Jackets could be a dark horse in this year’s race for the ODAC Championship.
ODAC Continued from pg. 32 b
Leonard return as the team’s leading tacklers from a season ago. Also back are senior safety Billy Knarr, junior cornerback Brandon Harrison and senior end Joe Pricone. Emory & Henry (5-5, 1-5) must find a replacement for AllODAC rusher Caleb Jennings but they do have mobile quarterback Dustin Beck and his top receiver Preston Jennings. On defense, the Wasps return linebacker Ed Smith who was a 2009 All-ODAC selection but missed last season due to injury. Catholic (4-6, 2-4) could be another dark horse in the league, returning several top
young players from a season ago including junior receiver Alonzo Cooke and quarterback Greg Cordivari along with last year’s ODAC Rookie of the Year, running back Mike Pitsenberger. Andrew Ouellette also returns after notching an ODAC best 931 kickoff return yards (29.5 ypr) last season. Guilford (0-10, 0-6) looks to get back on the road to winning with new head coach Chris Ruiewicz. The Quakers return All-ODAC selection Chris Jessup who will make the move from linebacker to end this season. Last year ODAC teams put up explosive numbers on offense with the top four teams averaging 35.8 points per game. Some league coaches expect that num-
ber to drop this season. “I think with the inexperienced quarterbacks in our league this year, you’re going to see teams slowing the game down a little bit more, try to run the ball more,” Favret said. “I can see the defense maybe making a step forward this year.” Arruza concurred. “Obviously last year was a little bit of an anomaly,” he said. “But you’ve got to be able to play defense to win in this league or any other league for that matter.” However, Miriello believes it will be business as usual. “The league has been offensively oriented for quite some time so I don’t see that changing at all,” he said. “People are going to put up some points.”
