Plea entered in ax attack
CHAMPIONS
Omar Abdelaal sentenced to juvenile facility By Jim Ridolphi For The Mechanicsville Local After accepting a plea agreement, Hanover Circuit Court Judge J. Overton Harris handed out a blended sentence to a youth convicted of attacking a fellow student with an ax. Omar Abdelaal will remain in juvenile detention until his case is reviewed in two years, and could spend up to his 21st birthday incarcerated. Abdelaal pleaded guilty to malicious wounding in the attack, reduced from OMAR ABDELAAL aggravated malicious wounding, which he and his attorney maintain was prompted by aggressive bullying on the victim’s part. “This is the best we could do for my son.
Jim Ridolphi for The Local
Hanover Commonwealth’s Attorney R.E. “Trip” Chalkley III addressed reporters after the court session on Tuesday, July 27.
I thank everyone for the community support we received,” father of the defendant Kahlid Abdelaal said. The reduced charge spared Abdelaal, 16, the possibility of a life sentence and allows him to serve his sentence in the juvenile system. see AX, pg. 4 `

Noah’s ‘Crazy Club Burger’ included in Red Robin cookbook By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com
NOAH MATTHEWS
Noah Matthews knows what he like’s on a burger – and his efforts led to his “Crazy Club Burger” being published in a national restaurant chain’s cookbook.
The 9-year-old from Mechanicsville was already a fan of Red Robin Gourmet Burgers when his family received an e-mail about the 4th annual “Red Robin Kids’ Cook-Off ” Cookbook. “We belong to Red Robin clubs,” his mom Sara said, “like if
you sign up for their Kids’ Club.” As his mother was saying, “It was just an e-mail that we got and it said to enter the contest,” Noah interjected with, “You had to create a burger.” His creation stemmed from his desire for a club sandwich.
“We were sitting at the computer together and then I wanted my mom to fix me a club sandwich for lunch and that’s how we came up with.” Sara said her son’s burger “is kind of like a burger and a club sandwich combined.” According to Red Robin
Gourmet Burgers, Noah’s “Crazy Club Burger” is made with a burger patty, shaved Virginia ham, shaved smoked turkey, cheddar cheese, horseradish mustard, tomato, Swiss cheese, light mayonnaise see BURGER, pg. 4 `

Fire/EMS crews take part in training exercises East Hanover Volunteer Rescue Squad’s Crew 4 recently joined with Mechanicville Volunteer Fire Station 7, battalion chief Henry Moore and firefighter/paramedic Dale Rollason for training exercises. On July 2, the combined memberships handled several haz-mat situations in the shopping center by Fire Station 7. Diane Fleming of EHVRS Crew 4 said they “try to do training with this crew whenever we have a Friday night duty. We alternate stations and dinner starts off the evening.” The situation for EMS was how to approach the scene and always be suspicious of any situation when toned out by 911. The crew also reviewed the ERG (Emergency Response Guidebook). Fire had the situation of how to

do a washdown once people are brought out of a haz-mat situation. “As usual, this training is very helpful and we always enjoy it. It also helps all of us to recognize each other (faces) and we can almost predict what each others next moves are,” Fleming added.
The coordinated efforts of having fire and rescue personnel on the scene of an accident or medical emergency being able to predict each other’s movements saves time and useless energies that can be spent in proper patient care, as well as the saving of valuable personal properties.
Atlee student attends national summer program for highly gifted Brett Colbert, a 16-year-old student at Atlee High School, recently participated in the seventh annual THINK Summer Institute, a national summer program for profoundly gifted students in Reno, Nev., organized by the Davidson Institute for Talent Development. Located on the University of Nevada, Reno campus, the 2010 THINK Summer Institute (www.DavidsonGifted.org/THINK), from July 10-31, provided 60 gifted and talented students from across the country a full-immersion college experience, as well as an opportunity to earn transferable college credits by taking two of the following courses taught by university faculty members: Human Development - Mind, Brain,
and Learning; Public Health Biology; Computer Science; Statistics; Philosophy; and, Nano and Micro Technology. “THINK is an exciting experience because the Davidson Institute does a really awesome job structuring this camp. The environment is great and the staff is terrific. It really is a very intense college experience,” Colbert, attended THINK for the second year, said. Former educational software entrepreneurs turned philanthropists, Bob and Jan Davidson founded the Davidson Institute for Talent Development (www.DavidsonGifted.org) in 1999 to support profoundly gifted students under the age of 18.

and bacon on toasted sourdough bread. “A little Red Robin seasoning” makes the burger better, Noah added. Noah had to submit a 100-word statement on why his burger should be America’s next gourmet burger. “Because I know that 8-year-olds like me would love it,” Noah said. He was 8 when he submitted his recipe. “The kids’ menu is geared toward smaller kids and is usually not enough food for me and it still leaves me hungry,” he said. “Also, sometimes it is difficult for me to find something on the adult menu that I like. I know that every kid my age would love the ‘Crazy Club Burger’.” Red Robin chose the cookbook recipes “based on their inventive combination of ingredients and fun flavors, and the accompanying 100-word statement.” For his entry, Noah received a $40 gift card to Red Robin, “a nice meal” at the restaurant and a copy of the cookbook, which

Harris imposed the sentence after Abdelaal addressed the court in a barely audible and emotional voice, stating his remorse for his actions. “I regret what I’ve done,” the youth said. “I understand my actions were a bit severe,” he added. Harris responded that the attack was more than “a bit severe,” and noted there was no physical threat or “sufficient provocation” when he picked up the ax and struck fellow student Austin Mayton. Abdelaal and a group of friends encountered Mayton, 15, and several of his friends at McDonald’s following school on Oct. 23. After an exchange of words and what the defense termed as insults, Abdelaal and his friends entered the Tractor Supply Store, followed by Mayton’s group.

Cooley said the choice to accept the plea deal was ultimately up to Abdelaal, but said the agreement ensured that his client would serve no time in an adult facility, something that was important to the family. While in the juvenile system, Cooley said Abdelaal would have access to further education and special career programs. Harris imposed a 15-year suspended sentence on the malicious wounding charge, provided Abdelaal follows the conditions of his juvenile detention. Cooley said his client could be released in two years when the case is reviewed. “That’s entirely the court’s discretion based on how well he’s doing, the nature of the offense and all of the considerations within the case,” Cooley said. Mayton’s mother, Patricia Mattox, said her son is still recovering from the attack. “I just hope nobody else has to go through this.”
Hayley Smith named 2nd runner-up in pageant By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com Hayley Smith’s first journey into the world of pageants saw her being named second runner-up. On July 11, the Mechanicsville teen participated in the Nationals’ 2010 Miss Jr. Teen Richmond Pageant at the Carpenter Theatre at CenterStage in Richmond. The pageant takes a different approach, Hayley’s mom Patti said. “It’s all about interviewing and inner beauty. It was a very different pageant than the average – there was no bathing suit, no talent.” Patti was quick to point out that Hayley “has never been in a pageant before. I am not a pageant mom.” Hayley’s inclusion was prompted by a nomination, which is either based on her grade point average or Standards of Learning (SOLs) scores. She had no prior knowledge of the pageant until she was contacted about her nomination. The Smiths said the pageant emphasizes a winner “who is beautiful on the inside and allows that beauty to be complemented by beauty that appears on the outside.”
An interview is an integral part of the pageant process. She had been told to expect five judges, but Hayley appeared before 12. “So that’s quite intimidating,” Patti said. She said her daughter was asked what made her unique. “A n d she said ‘I know who I am and I know what I w a n t – I know how to get it HAYLEY SMITH and I can beat the obstacles that come in my path’.” Hayley said she was asked what word describes her personality best. “I said spontaneous.” She also was asked to rate her confidence “and I said an 8
(on a scale of 1 to 10).” Patti said they were told to expect an interview of three to five minutes. “If you come out in three minutes, that’s probably not a good sign, and five minutes just doesn’t seem like a lot of time to get to know somebody. They had to knock on the door twice to get her out of there, so that was a good sign.” During the pageant, Hayley was featured in casual wear, “something that represented who she was or what she was comfortable in,” Patti said. An avid field hockey player, Hayley chose her uniform. “And then she wore her evening gown.” Patti said the contestants only had 10 minutes to change clothes. “They were supposed to have 30 to get all that hockey gear off, get in her dress, and change jewelry. And we never did get her hair up.” “We all ran downstairs and it was packed and hot with all the

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
Sheriff ’s Office keeps focus on job at hand When Lt. Col. V. Stuart Cook, sheriff of Hanover County, officially announced he would retire this year, the department he has molded so well continued to do just what is expected of a law enforcement agency: Serve and protect. While there was already buzz about the 2011 election, the Sheriff ’s Office, as it prepares for a change in command, has been taking care of business. During his interview on July 13, Cook was straight to the point in terms of politics and his office: They don’t mix. Yes, it is an elected position, which obviously means the sheriff files and runs as a candidate. But how he operates is another story. Cook said he isn’t a politician, he’s a police officer — always wanted to be, always has been. The fact that he didn’t consider himself a politician influenced his decision to accept the appointment in 1990. He said to became a police chief he would have to play politics — and it wasn’t something he wanted to do. Lt. Col. David Hines, a 26-year veteran who was already employed by the Sheriff ’s Office when Cook came on board, will step into the position in the fall. Cook has high praise for his second-in-command. But what about 2011? Hines is expected to seek the office. Question is: Are others lining up for that race? And what about the incumbents? What will they do in terms of endorsements? Time will tell.
Etc. + Time to heal. A plea agreement reached on July 27 in last fall’s ax attack brings a close to another chapter in this tragedy. Now we can only hope that those involved can heal, both physically and emotionally. The court action brings resolution and a time to start anew. + The Rev. Donald Reid of Mechanicsville has been elected to his first four-year term on the Bluefield College Board of Trustees.

We believe this act of concern and kindess saved our beloved son, brother, friend and co-worker, Henry Kirby. He was involved in a serious single-vehicle accident early that morning, where the pickup he was driving ran off the road and hit a tree.

Responding to chimps’ escape In response to Animal Control officer (Chief Kevin) Kilgore’s statement that there was no danger when the chimpanzees got loose last week, there is a lady in Stamford, Conn., who lost her face and hands who may have a different opinion.
Mr. Kilgore would also do well to read the non-fiction book “Hot Zone,� which the movie “Outbreak� was based on. The only saving grace for the real sleepy little town of Reston, Va., was that the disease did not “go airborne.� Primates can carry diseases that humans do not walk away from. The Board of Supervisors was ill-advised to vote for the conditional use permit that allowed primates to be kept in the eastern Hanover area, and more than enough infractions have now occurred with these animals to revisit that permit. I only hope that the permit requires ample liability insurance to be kept by the owners, because now that the numerous escapes have been documented, the county has to absorb some culpability should something bad happen. I had the opportunity to talk to several officers who have responded to these escapes when they came to my home to capture one of the spider monkeys last year. The officers were less than thrilled with the idea of trying to capture these animals. I soon learned why when I noticed that the owners were ill-equipped to perform a capture. see LETTERS, pg. 15 `

Students learn fellowship by repairing homes By Shannon Rice For The Mechanicsville Local few weeks ago, while other teens were lounging by the pool and watching TV, about 40 high schoolers were busy making repairs to homes throughout the area through Richmond Metro Workcamp. From July 11-17, the camp hosted six crews of about 65 people at the Fairfield Presbyterian Church on Cold Harbor Road in Mechanicsville. Together, the teams comprised of eight different churches made repairs to seven homes.

The 89-year-old lung cancer survivor also received a new laundry room ceiling, freshly painted drywall and some outdoor sprucing up to her Ashland home. When it comes to choosing which homes will receive repairs, the workcamp gets referrals from different sources, including word of mouth, the Area Agency on Aging, Social Services, and a networking community of staff who see needs and makes suggestions as needed, workcamp spokeswoman Miranda Terry-Clark said.

Tunstall’s home was completely comprised of first-year campers. “They’re already better handymen than us,” Alan White, worksite director, said. The campers not only learned about carpentry while at Tunstall’s home, they also learned about the woman they were helping. Tunstall retired from Hanover County as a special needs aide. Her background also includes teaching piano. “She taught us ‘Lean on Me’ and ‘Chopsticks’ on the piano,” camper Erin Hedrick said. This year’s workcamp efforts are in honor of Doris Davis, who has been with the program 17 years. She takes photos at the work sites that are then shown each night during the devotional program held at Fairfield. T-shirts were made in her honor. The camp is not all about work. After showers and dinner, the evening programs at Fairfield also offer music, drama and worship. Each night features a keynote speaker and testimonies from the campers before everyone goes to sleep in the church classrooms. The cost to attend camp is $225 per person. Campers either pay out of pocket or hold fundraisers, according to Bob Friend of Richmond

On the Hot Seat…or the Mercy Seat? By Pastor David Crisp, Senior Pastor young mom who attends my church approached me last Sunday after service. She was struggling with the words of Christ in Matt. 12:36, A “But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.” This scripture, coupled with Paul’s reminder that “We must all stand before the judgment seat of Christ, that each one may receive what is due him for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad” found in 2 Cor. 5:10 was causing her great distress because she was feeling condemnation and fearing punishment for she knew that she often said careless words and did things that probably displeased the Lord. I know many Christians struggle with such feelings… but should we? Is this what the Lord wants? Does he want us to be so scared of this terrible life-end evaluation that we “straighten up and fly right?” After all, doesn’t the Bible say, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom?” Yes, that is true… but what does that mean ? ow do those verses “square” with these scriptures: “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death!” (Rom. 8:1-2) “My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense—Jesus Christ, the Righteous One. He is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not only for ours but also for the sins of the whole world.” (1 John 2:1-2) “In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment, because in this world we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.” (1 John 4:17-18) So, where is the balance? hat helped my friend on Sunday find some balance was to imagine herself talking to her own kids when they had failed. Imagine your son or daughter failed a big test at school, or failed to catch the high fly ball and lost the game, or failed at being a good friend to one of the neighborhood kids. How would you handle that? What would your hope be for the end result of that conversation? Would your hope be that your child ended up in your arms hugging you, sorry that they had messed up, but glad for your correction and unconditional love? I can’t imagine a parent who wouldn’t at least hope for that resolution! We have the perfect heavenly father who loves us so much, so unconditionally, that while we were yet sinners, in active rebellion against Him, He gave His only Son for us! That’s how he feels about you! Listen to these… “What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can “be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us.” (Rom 8:31-34) “Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! (Matt. 7:10-11) So how do you suppose God will handle his sons and daughters in dealing with our failures? I can’t say for sure, but this I do know, there will be no condemnation in it, no punishment dished out. He already punished Christ for all our sins, so if we have by faith received salvation in Christ, we will not be judged for them. In fact God will not see our sins at all, but rather the righteous record of sinless Jesus! (2 Cor. 5:21) Jesus’ words in Matt. 12 about men being held to account for every careless word, were spoken to unbelievers who had just “carelessly’ accused Jesus of using the power of the devil to drive out demons. Paul’s warning about standing before the judgment seat of Christ, however, was addressed to believers. He said we will be judged “for things done in the body – whether good or bad.” Does this mean our salvation depends on our good works? No, our salvation is not at stake here. This will be a judgment for what we heaven-bound Christians did with our salvation. Did we live for Christ or for self? Did we follow Him or serve mammon? Did we build His kingdom or feather our nests? Guess we all can chew on those questions for a while. Truth is, we could all do better. But I want to leave you with this: at the judgment seat of Christ, we will not be in fear or be feeling guilt or shame, since Jesus took those from us at the cross. We will feel His GREAT love and mercy and compassion as we see just how much he forgave us! ow go hug your kids, and as you do, think, “God loves me… and them …and everyone… more than this!” And when they ask you, “Why are you hugging me?” you can tell them, “Just because I love you…no matter what!”

A single-vehicle motor vehicle crash in Hanover County claimed the lives of two North Carolina men on Thursday. According to Sgt. T.J. Molnar of the Virginia State Police, a 2004 Oldsmobile Alero was traveling northbound on Interstate 95 when the fatigued driver, Teresa E. Bridges, 51, ran off the left side of the road, overcorrected and struck a tree. The two back seat passengers were flown by med-flight to Virginia Commonwealth University Medical Center in Richmond where they both later died. Joe L. Thomas, 75, was seated behind the driver and was not wearing his safety belt. Garry W. Estes, 45, was seated behind the front seat passenger and was wearing his safety belt. Teresa Bridges suffered serious but considered non-life threatening injuries in the crash
and was transported by ambulance to VCU Medical Center. She was not wearing her safety belt. The front seat passenger, Spencer D.

tim knows personally. How does a thief steal an identity? Many victims of identity theft don’t realize their information is being used by someone else until bill collectors begin calling or the victim notices defaulted accounts on his or her credit report. Often, thieves only need to have one vital piece of information to commit fraud. They use many different ways to obtain this information, including: m Stealing wallets or purses. This is a way for a thief to get most of the information needed to commit crimes in your name — thieves may make off with your driver’s license, credit cards and any other information you carry with you. m Dumpster diving. Identity thieves may look through your trash to find mail such as bills or bank statements that contain personal information. m Breaking in. Crooks sometimes break into buildings to steal employee or payroll information or school records. m Pretexting. This trick involves thieves pretending to be someone they aren’t — such as a government official or business person — in the hopes of tricking a victim into giving them personal information. m Phishing. Thieves may send fake emails, spam, or pop-up messages that trick victims into entering their personal information on a website or sending it through email to the thief. m Skimming. Skimming occurs when thieves steal your credit card information
using a special device that records your credit card numbers when you use the card to make a purchase. “Thieves are often very skilled at what they do,” Hottle said. “They are constantly coming up with new ways to obtain personal information. To protect yourself, you must guard your information closely and be very careful who you give it to. By being aware of the different means identity thieves use, you can avoid becoming a victim.” How can you protect yourself? Everyone should monitor their credit reports at least once a year. You are entitled by law to a free credit

report annually. Once you get your report, look it over carefully to make sure all of the accounts are yours and everything is correct. If the information in your report is not correct, take steps immediately to correct your records by contacting the companies who opened the accounts as well as the credit reporting agency. “Banks often have services you can use

to help you protect your identity,” Hottle said. “For example, EVB offers Identity Theft Shield, which for a low monthly fee provides continuous monitoring of your credit report so suspicious activity can be brought to your attention immediately.” To protect yourself, you also should monitor your bank and credit card accounts and statements every month. If you don’t recognize a charge, contact the creditor right away. You should never throw documents in the trash that contain personal information. Shred them first. Be alert if someone calls you or e-mails you asking for personal information, even if they say they are from a company you recognize. Be sure that you know who you are talking to and what your information is going to be used for before you give it to anyone. “If you are the victim of identity theft, call your local police department, your bank and one of the three major credit reporting agencies — Experian, TransUnion or Equifax,” Hottle said. “If you call one agency, they will notify the other two. You should also notify your creditors or the companies where the thief committed fraud in your name. You can help prevent identity theft.

Sales tax holiday kicks off Friday
MITCHELL WINDOWS & SIDING
Sen. McDougle’s annual back-to-school legislation hits 5-year milestone
# Maintenance Free #
Virginia’s back-to-school sales tax holiday kicks off again for its fifth year beginning Friday, Aug. 6, and running through Sunday, Aug. 8. With families facing such challenging economic times during this past year, many people who buy supplies before going back to school are looking forward to this weekend’s sales tax holiday. In 2006, Sen. Ryan McDougle, RHanover, sponsored the back-to-school sales tax holiday legislation and worked hard to successfully pass his bill through the General Assembly.
Examples of items that continue to result in five percent savings include school supplies valued at $20 or less per item and footwear and clothing valued at $100 or less per item/pair. A list of the exempt items and guidelines for the sales tax holiday can be found at www.tax.virginia.gov. All Virginia taxpayers can take advantage of the sales tax holiday, in addition to families with school-aged children who need supplies. Retailers also may choose to absorb the sales tax on “non-exempt” merchan-
dise. Stores that do not sell school-related items may voluntarily participate in this program. As a result of the sales tax holiday this year, it is estimated that Virginia taxpayers will save $4 million in sales tax. “Most families are really watching their budgets and looking for ways to save in every area,” the senator said. “The upcoming sales tax holiday is just another way for families to take advantage of a great way to save,” McDougle added.

American Cancer Society presenting Bark For Life Aug. 21 The American Cancer Society will present the first annual Bark For Life on Saturday, Aug. 21, at Courthouse Park. The relay fundraising event honors the care-giving qualities and lifelong contributions of our canine “best friends.” It presents an opportunity for people to be empowered through their canine companion partnerships and to contribute to cancer cures through the mission of the American Cancer Society. Canine Caregivers are canine companions, guide dogs, service
dogs, rescue dogs, therapy dogs, police dogs, cancer survivor dogs and diagnostic dogs, who, with their owners, are joining the American Cancer Society to celebrate cancer survivorship, honor those lost to cancer, fundraise in support of cancer research, education, awareness, patient services, advocacy and to help eliminate the suffering that cancer causes worldwide. The American Cancer Society Bark For Life is a way to take a bite out of cancer, have fun, and make new friends
– canine and human. Bark For Life Hanover will be a one mile dog walk. Teams of canines and their owners raise money through fundraisers and sponsorships as well as
on the day of the walk itself. Participating pups will receive bandanas. The event also will feature contests and prizes. Registration will get under
way at 9 a.m. and the walk will start at 9:30 a.m. Registration for dogs is $20 for the first dog and $10 for each additional dog in the family. To register, visit www.events.cancer.org/barkha-
nover. For more information, contact Andrea Fravel, American Cancer Society community manager, at 527-3712 or andrea. fravel@cancer.org.

Hanover named top U.S. ‘digital county’ in bracket Hanover County has received a national award for the excellence of its use of Information Technology to improve the delivery of county services. Hanover was ranked first among counties with a population of 150,000 to 249,999 by The Center for Digital Government in the Center’s 2010 Digital Counties Survey Awards. “Probably more than anybody else in their group size, they were able to use technology to compensate for having to do with fewer employees in dealing with the economic downturn,� Todd Sander, director of the Center for Digital Government’s Digital Communities program, which
is the division that conducted the survey, said. “That included improved project management capabilities, a bunch of cop stuff and lots of mobile devices.� In a press release, Sander said counties this year had to submit numerous explanatory narratives on why technologies deployed actually improved life for government employees, citizens or both. That differed from past years, when participating governments simply put together an inventory of their cutting-edge technologies. Hanover’s Digital County Survey highlighted notable achievements during an economic downturn with a decreased budget. Among the achievements: 3 Public Safety system
enhancements give law enforcement officers access to a regional data warehouse that provides valuable data for analyzing crime patterns, providing photos to officers in the field, alerts on inmate releases, and solving crimes that occur in multiple jurisdictions. 3 Automated 911 center tools (ProQA) were implemented to provide the very best in priority dispatch system protocols. During an Emergency911 call the ProQA guides dispatchers through the process of collecting information, choosing an accurate dispatch code and providing instructions until responders arrive. ProQA establishes consistent questions regardless of the Computer see DIGITAL, pg. 24 `

Aided Dispatch (CAD) operator’s experience level. Uniform questions help insure the correct incident type assignment to send the right equipment & personnel on a call for service. 3 Improved efficiency and cost savings were realized by enhancing network bandwidth with County-owned fiber and leveraging public broadband offerings. 3 IT automated the distribution of lost animal photos for Animal Control. Through this process lost pets are posted on the county web site quickly, and are sent to the officer’s blackberries. This improvement provides enhanced opportunities for citizens to determine if Animal Control has found their lost pets. Efficiency gains and enhancements to the IT infrastructure also contributed to the county’s recognition. Server consolidation and virtualization played a major role in driving efficiency, improving performance and decreasing administrative over-
head in the county’s data center. Wireless access was added to facilities throughout the county to enhance coverage and network access for the mobile county workforce. Energy efficiency is being achieved in the county’s data center through new ways for measuring energy usage, improved HVAC configuration, and the installation of a high performance energy efficient storage system. “We were thrilled to receive notice of this award,” Kirk Baumbach, Hanover’s director of the Department of Information Technology, said. “I am very fortunate to lead a fantastic IT Team that takes time to understand our customer’s needs and consistently deliver results.” Baumbach said that relationships with business partners and peer networks help the department follow best practices and demonstrate innovative ways to maximize value for its customers. “The outstanding leadership and support provided by the Board of Supervisors and county administration make it easy for us to continuously improve performance and quality of ser-
vice,” he added. “The leadership in Hanover also challenges us to use benchmarking and peer comparisons to evaluate service levels.” Baumbach said that the Digital Counties Survey is one of many tools used to benchmark performance. “It also helps us provide value through the innovative use of information and technology,” he said. “We are very thankful for all of the teamwork, recognition and knowledge gained as a part of the Digital County Survey process and we look forward to putting that knowledge to work in the Hanover’s strategic and operational plans.” Baumbach noted that Hanover’s Information Technology Department also has increased performance and customer satisfaction with a better planning process and enhanced project management competencies. A consistent and repeatable process has been put in place to interview internal customer departments, document their technology project needs, and address follow-up or improvement items.
The department also has enhanced project management competencies and implemented a project management toolset to manage IT project delivery. Enhanced engagement and project management skills have improved customer partnerships and their ability to leverage technology. Strategic plans have been approved to further enhance the way the IT Projects are requested, prioritized, and delivered. The Digital Counties Survey is conducted in partnership with the National Association of Counties (NACo) annually each spring. All U.S. counties are invited to participate (consolidated county-city jurisdictions are invited to participate in the Digital Cities Survey in the summer). Baumbach was presented the award on behalf of Hanover County at NACo’s annual conference on July 18. The full list of winners and sample survey findings can be read at http://www.govtech. com/dc/surveys/counties/90.
Chick Days return to Tractor Supply Tractor Supply’s popular Chick Days event returns to area stores through Aug. 22. As a general guide, a flock of 15 hens will produce about a dozen eggs per day during their peak. But the benefits don’t stop there. Not only will your chickens provide fresh eggs, but they will also provide fresh fertilizer, fresh material for composting, and insect control. Also, the eggs are more nutritious and many claim taste better than ones you buy in a supermarket. Some essential planning is necessary prior to buying your first chicks, starting with ensuring you’re in compliance with local ordinances. Also, a well constructed coop is necessary to keep chickens productive and safe from predators. And while relatively low maintenance, chickens do require regular feeding and water, and a clean coop. You can also log onto TractorSupply.com/ChickDays to learn more about raising chickens.

She also said she is interested in competing in the pageant again next year. “I actually like this pageant.” Her mother quickly added, “Because of what it focuses on.” A rising sophomore at Atlee High School, Hayley serves as goalie for the Atlee Raiders field
hockey team. “I’m going on my second year (playing).” With a grin, her mom chimed in, “She’s a natural; her granddaddy was a goalie in soccer, so I think it’s in the genes.” Hayley said she first became interested in field hockey when she was in the seventh grade. Hayley attends St. Giles Presbyterian Church in Richmond. She has two brothers, Nash and Harrison.

Men of Faith will present a progressive gospel concert on Sunday, Aug. 15, at the Broadus Baptist Church in Mechanicsville.
Caring for you and your family.
Men of Faith to perform Aug. 15 Men of Faith, eastern Carolina’s premier gospel group, will present a concert at 6 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 15, at the Broadus Memorial Baptist Church at 5351 Pole Green Road in Mechanicsville. The quartet and band have performed extensively across the Carolinas and Virginia since founding 10 years ago, but the Aug. 15 concert is their first Mechanicsville performance. “Men of Faith sings gospel with some of the traditional flair, but with a little more punch,” lead singer Jeff Barker said. “We give a message through song … and a good toe-tapping, upbeat sound that lifts your spirits.” Barker, who has been with the group since its formation, said, “Our goal is to potentially reach a bigger audience, not just the elderly and middle aged. We aspire to witness to a younger generation, too, since our message can benefit all ages.” The gospel quartet, which has taped six CDs with select songs aired on Christian radio, enjoys a strong following as it travels and performs 10 months throughout the year.
Pastor Phil Peacock said, “Broadus Church understands itself to be part of the larger community of faith. We are happy to partner with others – mission agencies, benevolence ministries, churches and even music groups – who share that same understanding. Together we can make a difference in
people’s lives by sharing the good news of Christ.” The concert is free and open to the public. To hear a sampling of Men of Faith’s music, visit www. menoffaithqt.com, or call 7792700 for more information. Information submitted by Lynn Kirk

Above left: In 1952 as a senior pitcher at St. Christopher’s Norman Bowles was named to the All-City team for the second consecutive year. Above right: In July, Bowles threw out the opening pitch for Post 175 in their final game of the season. It was his last act as Athletics Coordinator for the American Legion post. After 63 years in the game, Bowles has now retired.
Bowles made the trip to Powhatan. “I got home at nine o’clock that night and still got reprimanded,” he said. “It didn’t work.” But dues paid, he remained with the baseball team and doors began to open. After pitching a no-hit-
ter against St. Christopher’s, Bowles was recruited to attend the school the following year as a sophomore and play under Coach Petey Jacobs. For Bowles it was the most memorable period of his baseball career. In 1951 he got his first taste of American Legion baseball with Post 175 but the
following year switched to Post 361 to play with his Saints teammates. But it was 1952 that brought Bowles his strongest memories when he played in a threeteam Mechanicsville black league that consisted of the Georgetown Giants, Jack’s Grill and the Ellison Tigers.
He first learned of the teams from a black family that lived on his family’s farm. “One thing led to another and they invited me to come up and play, so I did,” he said. “We were all segregated but I didn’t know what segregation was. I grew up on the farm playing see BOWLES, pg. 37 `
Hanover’s Webster gets a ride to Kansas St. By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local Rachel Webster did not live the life of a typical high school athlete. While many of her friends and colleagues competed in team sports at Hanover High School, she missed out. Instead, she was following a very different path for a teen athlete, but one which has paid off handsomely. Webster’s sport involved riding horses and her achievements on horseback have landed her a scholarship to ride for Kansas State University’s college equestrian team. Equestrian competition, classified by the NCAA as a women’s sport, is akin to gymnastics on horseback. Riders are evaluated on the basis of appearance—position, posture, and attire—and horsemanship. “It’s kind of like the Olympics. They have to jump over jumps, but they have to make it clear— they can’t pull any rails or any-
thing like that,” Webster said. “In the hunters, you have to actually make it look pretty. You have to get them to the right distance to the jump, or else you get penalized.” Since there are little or no opportunities for team competition at the primary and secondary school level, equestrian athletes such as Webster compete as individuals. They compete year-round as well, facing long days that begin early, often as early as 4 a.m. The events are usually held outdoors, which may add an additional level of unpleasantness. “It’s a very demanding sport,” Webster said. “You have to be up at a certain time, and you have to be there all day long in the heat or in the cold.” The unpleasantness paid off for Webster, who began riding at the age of 10. She got her first pony, Worth the Wait, in 2003, and purchased a thoroughbred, Master Plan, in 2005.
Her success led her to trainer Pam Baker at Hillcrest Farms in Bealeton, Va., in 2006. In the three years that followed, Webster qualified for the U.S. Equestrian Federation finals
BOWLES
“Mac” Pitt. 1953, between high school and college, marked the best season in Bowles playing career. Pitching semi-pro ball he went 18-3. Following college, Bowles had several tryouts with Pittsburgh as well as a short stay with the Richmond Virginians. “When the Major League people got cut they got rid of us.” But Bowles still had dreams of moving on to the pros. “I was hoping to get drafted in baseball but I got drafted in the military,” he said. His plans for playing baseball with the army came to an unexpected end when he was injured during advanced infantry training. Instead he spent 19 months in the Honor Guard at Arlington National Cemetery. In 1963, Bowles returned to Legion baseball when he was asked to coach a single year for
the Post 175 team. Marriage and children eventually drew Bowles away from baseball but he still found time to coach in the Atlee Little League and Atlee Youth League. Over the years Bowles played against and along side many memorable players like Chuck Boone who was his catcher at UR. Boone later went on to spend six years in the New York Yankees organization before becoming the head baseball coach and eventually Director of Athletics at Richmond. Another memorable moment came in the 1980’s when Bowles was invited to play in an old-timers game that pitted the Richmond Braves against the Tidewater Tides. The then 55-year-old got to step to the plate to face legendary Yankee pitcher Jim “Catfish” Hunter. “I hit a ball

with these guys and it was fun. “For one summer I was the only white guy on the field. I would pitch for one against the other then the next week I’d pitch for this one against the other one. I rotated the whole summer. It was me and three black teams, the most fun I ever had in my life.” Bowles said he still remains friends with some of the players 60 years later. “It was good baseball. Some of those guys could really play.” At St. Christopher’s, Bowles was named All-City in both baseball and basketball in backto-back years while excelling in academics. As a result he earned a baseball scholarship to the University of Richmond where he played for four years under legendary Coach Malcolm

three times. She and Master Plan won the Zone 3 Tad Coffin Equitation Finals in 2007 and 2008. She finished ninth nationally in the USEF Large Junior Hunter standings in 2008 and 10th nationally in 2007. More recently, Webster and her horse Quintessential won Grand Hunter Champion, among other awards, at her “home” show, the Deep Run “AA” Horse Show. Webster, who was also an honor roll student at Hanover, began her college search, looking for schools that offered equestrian scholarships and sending videos to schools she liked. She had a friend, Kristen Rheinlander, who was on the Kansas State team and who suggested she send a tape there, too. “I sent videos to a lot of schools” Webster said. “Kansas State was one of the schools who called me in and actually wanted to send me on a visit to see their school.”
Kansas State coach Casie Lisabeth said the video was one of the key factors in stimulating the Wildcats’ interest—they liked the way Webster looked on horseback. But they need more in an aspiring equestrian athlete. “First and foremost we’re looking for kids who can be competitive and help us win a national championship,” Lisabeth said. “We’re looking for kids that have experience showing at that national level. Showing at that national level is important for the pressure of competing at that level. Riding and/or competing on a number of different horses is also important.” The latter is important because of the way the college competitions work. Instead of riders bringing their own horses, riders from each school ride the same horse in a head-to-head competition. The horses are drawn randomly from a pool.

over third base and got on,” Bowles said but he remembers most his talk with Hunter after the game. “He was a great guy. I go tot talk to him in the locker room for a long time.”
Near retirement age, Bowles said he had no interest in becoming involved with American Legion baseball again but could not resist when he got a call from Ed Landi
“You don’t even get a chance to really ride the horse before you show him.” Webster said. “You get about four minutes to ride them and then you ride them into the ring.” The university also looks for students with good grades—no problem there for Webster. The final part of the package is equally important. Does the student like the university, sited in Manhattan, Kans., which is well off the beaten path for many who hail from parts other than the Great Plains. “When she came for a visit she really liked the school,” Lisabeth said. Webster is most looking forward to being part of the team—an instant family away from her family. “The sport has never been a team thing, it’s always been individual,” Webster said. “I’ve never been on a team, really, so I’m excited to actually be a part of that.” and Donald Timberlake to help with the program. After 38-years as an insurance auditor, Bowles, who said he owes a lot to Landi, took over as athletic officer for Post 175 which included the baseball operation. For Bowles it was a means of giving back to the game. “Baseball opened a lot of doors for me, and I try to give it back some doing what I’ve been doing,” he said. “I was the first person in family to go to college and I wanted to do that. I wanted to play baseball and I wanted to get off the farm and I got it all in the same ticket.” Now after a decade of service, Bowles has taken off his glove, laid down his bat and stepped away from the plate. “It’s been a good ride,” Bowles said. “I’ve really enjoyed it. The kids have been wonderful and that’s what it’s all about is the young people.”

Mechanicsville readies for national stage By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com When the Mechanicsville Nationals All-Star team won the Virginia Junior League state title last Tuesday they made local history. The 1314 year olds became the first Mechanicsville Little League team to advance to Southeast Regional play. However, what may not be noted in the history books is how the team won. To say that the Nationals dominated opponents in both the District V and State tournaments would be somewhat of an understatement. In 11 tournament games, less than half went the full seven innings due to the mercy rule; with a 10 run lead after five innings games are ended. Mechanicsville blazed their way through the two tournaments with a combined score of 193-13. In three games of state pool
play against some of Virginia’s best teams Mechanicsville ran away 79-1, defeating Culpepper 26-0, Woodbridge 11-1 and finishing off with an astounding 41-0 victory over Dulles. The championship round the competition was tougher but still the Nationals knocked off Alexandria 9-2, Essex Co. 11-1 and took the title with a 10-2 win over Fleet Park. Despite the lopsided numbers, Nationals manager Steve Lam attributes the wins to pitching rather than offense. “We’ve got an extremely, extremely deep rotation,” he said. “We’ve probably got three No. 1s and a whole bunch of No. 2’s.” According to Lam, nine of the 13 team members could take on the role of starting pitcher, therefore the mercy rule played a key role in his strategy. “Pitching rules are very stringent in Little League,” Lam said.
“If you go over 20 pitches you can’t pitch the next day. That’s always an advantage when you can play five innings.” Lam staffed the three games of pool play by throwing a different pitcher in each inning, keeping them all under 20 pitches. By doing so, Lam had his best three pitchers, Matthew Corley, Josh Lam and Taylor Campbell still available for the quarterfinal, semi-final and championship games where they dominated their opponents. “They were absolutely carving guys up,” Lam said. “All three of them had their fastball and curveball going. They were dead on.” Corely pitched a complete game against Alexandria while Josh Lam gave up one run in a complete game effort against Essex. In the title game, Campbell went 5 2/3 innings
against Fleet Park before being relieved by Bryce Sheppard. The Nationals pitching staff finished the state tournament an ERA of 1.23. Most surprising, the Nationals finished the state tournament without hitting a single home run. Instead they carved up defenses with well placed hits. As a team they batted .470 with a .603 on base percentage and recorded 97 RBIs. “The state tournament director (Bob Sottile) told us it was one of the most dominating state tournament teams he’s ever seen,” Lam said. “He cersee JUNIORS, pg. 39 ` Photo by Christy Sheppard

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Last week, Goochland’s Charlie Hayden made his first trip to Richmond International Raceway. Though a big fan of athletic activities, Hayden is admittedly not a race fan. “I love outdoor sports,” he said. “I never got involved in the races too much. I love hunting.” As such, instead of racing it was a diverse meeting of veterans that brought Hayden to the track for the first time in his life. It was at RIR that Hayden, a Vietnam veteran, came face to face with NASCAR veteran driver Richard Petty. Hayden was confined to a wheelchair in June of 1966 after shrapnel from a mortar round struck his spine. He has
been active in the Paralyzed Veterans of America ever since serving as both Chapter President and Vice President of the organization. But currently he takes on a different role. “I’m sports coordinator for the chapter,” he said. “What I do is a make arrangements for the veterans to go out and do all kinds of outdoor activities, hunting and fishing.” And though not a race fan, Hayden was well aware of Petty’s reputation. “I’ve heard of him I’d just never gotten into (NASCAR),” Hayden said. “It was a great thrill to meet maybe the world’s best.” Petty was in town to promote the NASCAR Foundation Track Walk to benefit the Paralyzed Veterans of America. The event will take place at RIR on Sept. 11
prior to the NASCAR’s “One Last Race to Make the Chase.” Hitting the track has always been a big deal to Petty, but through the Track Walk the man who is the undisputed King of NASCAR hopes to make a greater impact on foot at RIR than he ever made driving a race car. “This one in particular is big in my heart because it’s paralyzed veterans,” Petty said. Petty spent time chatting and laughing with the disabled veterans before making a plea to local business owners to get involved in the charity event. “We can’t say thank you enough and try to get them back into the mainstream,” Petty said. “It always feels good to try to help people, see PETTY , pg. 39 `

Corley will attend Hanover along with incoming sophomore Jeffery Decker. The Nationals will now travel to Greenville, SC August 6-12 and open pool play against Tennessee. Mechanicsville will also have to face West Virginia and Florida in their pool. Pool B consists of teams from North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama and Georgia. The top two teams in each pool advance to the semifinals on Mon. Aug. 9. The championship will be played Tues. Aug. 10 at 5 p.m. with the winner advancing to the World Series in Taylor, MI.
