Registrar gears up for Nov. 8 Smithson and staff focus efforts on precinct redistricting changes By JimFields jfields@mechlocal.com As the Nov. 8 election approaches, Hanover County General Registrar Teresa Smithson said one of her biggest concerns is making sure voters know where to cast their ballots. This stems from the federally mandated redistricting plan. Smithson and her staff are busy preparing for the election, especially with the redistricting, which is reviewed and revised every 10 years. The new plan here brings five new voting locations, changes to three and three being deleted.

Shady Grove United Methodist Church, of which she has been a member for many years. She arrived on Aug. 13, 1911, in Colliersville, which is located about 10 miles from Lexington. “It was at my grandmother’s home and my mother went there – she was 43 at the time.” Her parents, Charles Archer and Rebecca Louise Entsminger Nicholson were 40 years old when they married. “Neither one had ever been married before,” she said. Her mother had been a schoolteacher “somewhere between Lexington and Clifton Forge” and her father was a “gen-
tleman farmer.” After marrying, she never taught again, devoting herself to running the farm. The Nicholsons lived in Wilmington in Fluvanna County “and they had a big farm.” Louise said she and her parents made their home there the first eight years of her life. Then they moved to another Fluvanna community, Columbia. Louise completed her public education at the tender age of 15 and then headed to State Teachers College at Farmville, now Longwood University. In the spring of her first year in college, see 100, pg. 5

Trades teacher gets Church hosting blood VAAA scholarship drive for 7 members battling cancer
James R. Sanford, the building trades teacher at The Hanover Center for Trades and Technology (THCTT), has been selected to receive a $1,000 scholarship from the Virginia Apprenticeship Alumni Association (VAAA). Each year, a scholarship committee selects a career and technical education teacher throughout Virginia who demonstrates outstanding commitment and dedication to his/her students and educational program. Sanford will be able to use
the scholarship funds to purchase materials, tools, equipment, books and supplies for his classroom. “Mr. Sanford’s teaching and accomplishments speak positively to the value of apprenticeship programs, trades and technical education, especially at The Hanover Center for Trades and Technology, Vince D’Agostino, principal of THCTT, said. Information submitted by Linda M. Scarborough, Hanover County Public Schools communications specialist.

she became ill and missed her exams. “I knew my family wasn’t able to financially keep sending me to school, so I told mother if she could scrape up enough to get me in business college I would do that in Richmond.” She arrived in Richmond in the fall of 1928 and took a business course. Her landlady helped her get a temporary job at Kresge’s, where she was making $10 a week “and I was paying $9 a week board.” She had been encouraged to return home, but was determined to succeed in the city.

Mountain Lake, a little town called Penhook.” William, who was manager of the body shop at the dealership, did estimates on vehicles involved in accidents in preparation for repairs in his department. “If there was any typing to be done, he’d bring me a rough draft and I got to know him that way.” Dating for the pair included “fishing down on Gloucester. We went together for a year before we were married and we were married June 6, 1936.” He died on April 4, 1986, two months shy of their 50th wedding anniversary. The Smiths settled in Mechanicsville in January 1939. And then the United States became embroiled in World War II, which led to Louise losing her job at Martin Chevrolet. She went to work for the government. William spent more than four years training soldiers on auto repairs at Fort Lee. Louise became a govern-

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
Momentum builds for Nov. 8 election Hanover County General Registrar Teresa Smithson may be relatively new (she was sworn in on Nov. 23) to the top position in her office, but she is more than ready for this year’s election. Even with the challenges of the 10-year redistricting plan that has been developed, she and her staff are making sure voters are prepared for any possible changes in polling places. More on Smithson’s office and the redistricting can be found on today’s front page. Received the Hanover Democratic Committee’s August newsletter last week. Members will be meeting at 9 a.m. Saturday at Ashland Coffee & Tea to select a candidate for the Ashland District on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors. Incumbent Ed Via, a Republican, is seeking re-election. Also seeking supervisors’ seats are: James M. Ellis Jr., Independent, and Angela C. Kelly-Wiecek, Republican, Chickahominy District; Aubrey M. Stanley, Republican, Beaverdam District; Sean M. Davis, Republican, Henry District; Elton Wade, Republican, Cold Harbor District; W. Canova Peterson, Republican, and Deborah B. Winans, Independent, Mechanicsville District; and John E. Gordon Jr., Independent, and Wayne T. Hazzard, Republican, South Ann District. Supervisors Robert R. Setliff, Chickahominy District, and Charles McGhee, Henry District, both Republicans, chose not to seek re-election. The Nov. 8 ballot also will include: incumbent Senators Walter Stosch, R-12; Ryan McDougle, R-4; and Donald McEachin, D-9; and incumbent Delegates John Cox, R-55; and Chris Peace, R-97. Party nominations are due by 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 23. Stay tuned — this election is shaping up to be interesting.
Etc. ☞ A very special “Happy Birthday” to Louise Smith, who will celebrate her 100th on Saturday. She was such a joy and a delight to interview. Mrs. Smith is another shining example of what makes our county so special. Melody Kinser

Pulpit to blame for nation’s apathy and indifference There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the biggest reason America is in the mess that it’s in today is directly due to the apathy and indifference of the American pulpit. I am reminded of what Charles Finney, the famed 19th century revivalist, said: “If there is a decay of conscience, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the public press lacks moral discernment, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the church is degenerate and worldly, the pulpit is responsible for it. If the world loses its interest in Christianity, the pulpit is responsible for it. If Satan rules in our halls of legislation, the pulpit is responsible for it. If our politics become so corrupt that they very foundations of our government are ready to fall away, the pulpit is responsible for it.” For at least the past half-century Christian pastors and churches have been all but neutered. On the whole, they have ignored Christ’s admonition to be the “salt of the earth,” and as a result, have failed to do much of anything to preserve freedom’s Biblical Natural Law principles in this great land. In fact, the average church is so sugary sweet that it is
downright sickening! And the two main reasons for this dereliction of duty by America’s pastors and churches are the IRS 501c3 nonprofit tax status, which turns the Lord’s church into a government corporation; and the erroneous, fallacious interpretation of Romans chapter 13 that teaches Christians are obligated to submit to government regardless of whether government acts within the confines and jurisdiction of God’s law or not. see LETTERS, pg. 8

She did our books at night up until the time she was 96 years old.” Charles runs the family business these days, but Kimberly is ready to move into the top position when her father retires. She has been working there for 19 years. Her uncle did work at Smith Auto, but now supervises training on machinery at DuPont. A long-time member of the Shady Grove United Methodist Church, Louise smiled and added, “The Lord has been good to me.” With age, she said she has found herself asking, Why can’t I do things I did my whole life? She said it was “a question for God and those who will listen. I was really upset about it.” And, then, she said, “A little voice came to me and told me to be thankful for what you can do and not worry about what you can’t do.”

tion until the Richmond TimesDispatch published the candidate donors list. I took a look at the 4202 website. It says they organized in 2002. I dug up the Hanover budget for 2000-2001 and found that the budget for Fire and EMS, separate budgets at that time, was a total of $4,213,198. I fell out of my chair seeing the board-approved 201112 budget of $14,176.315, an increase of 336 percent in the Fire/EMS budget and only a15.5 percent increase in population, and guess what? “You now have to pay for a ride in an ambulance.” At this rate, without oversight, how much is this going to cost us in the next 10 years? I’m afraid we as the private industry taxpayers are eventually going to lose all our freedoms, (not to mention our money). As taxpayers we are not the majority in an election anymore. Tax takers are (or are) darn close to controlling who gets elected. For instance, look at Hanover, estimated 4,000 employees, with spouse 8,000 voters, with children, 9,000 voters and now add in the induced ripple effect of relatives on both sides, could be ??? voters. See my point! Get smart. Get registered and get out and vote on Nov. 8. You can’t change old minds and old ideas but you can sure help change the future by voting in a new board with new ideas for a new Hanover. Ted Mentz Old Church

In response to Claudine Rellihan’s letter in the July 27 edition: You said, “to date, no scientific evidence has been found to prove that homosexuals are born that way.” Despite the misinformation the Christian hate-mongers dis-
perse, this is quite inaccurate, from several angles. Scientists have, for example, identified over a dozen genetically-defined or -influenced traits in humans that are unique or specifically different in homosexual people than in heterosexual people. If a trait is known to be defined genetically and is always different in homosexuals than in heterosexuals, it is indisputably an indication that homosexuality is at least in some part linked to genetics – in other words, science has indeed proven that homosexuals are born with at least some genetic predisposition towards homosexuality. Moreover, homosexuality is not limited to humans; scientists have observed homosexual behaviors and traits, up to and including life-long homosexual bonding, in many species. If you accept that God created everything, and you are shown that a non-sentient animal – which cannot comprehend “sin” nor be seen as sinful by God – can be homosexual, it becomes nothing but hypocritical to deny the possibility that God also created some people to be homosexual. No, science does not yet have a “smoking gun” cause for homosexuality – that specific set of genes and/or epigenetics and/or prenatal conditions and/ or socio-psycho influences that cause it. But science learns more every day, and as it does it more and more clearly identifies that sexual orientation is not merely “a sinful nature” that can be “prayed away.” It is at least in large measure — if not totally a physiological condition — at least partially genetic in nature, that can at most be suppressed by force of will temporarily. Ms. Rellihan, I’m quite sure you want the freedom to live your life as the person you are – you certainly don’t want me telling you how to live or what see LETTERS, pg. 15

Outdoor classroom teaches about watershed Hanover and Caroline sixth grade students participate in Soil & Water Conservation program his year, the sixth grade students of Hanover and Caroline County Public Schools participated in the Hanover-Caroline Soil & Water Conservation District’s Meaningful Watershed Educational Experience (MWEE). The MWEE is an outdoor classroom event in which students experience the natural world and interact with environmental professionals on a wide range of natural resources topics. The Meadow Event Park (new State Fairgrounds) was the host facility for the handson learning stations, including Macroinvertebrates, Water Quality Testing, Riparian Buffers, Parking Lot/Urban Runoff, Wetlands, and Field Notes. This year, nearly 1,500 students from Hanover and Caroline County schools participated in the program; more than 1,100 represented Hanover. The conservation district provided Hanover and Caroline County schools with a customized SOL-correlated curriculum and the field experience to satisfy the state mandated requirement that all students beginning with the class of 2005 must have a meaningful Bay or stream
T
outdoor experience before graduation. This planning process included seven middle school teachers who formed a work group to offer input on the design of the curriculum and format of the field days. The conservation district contracted with Department of Environmental Quality and worked to develop the written curriculum and hands-on field stations. An online curriculum provides both preparatory and follow-up lessons for teachers to use in the classroom. The Hanover-Caroline SWCD Meaningful Watershed
Educational Experience is in its second year. The conservation district coordinated volunteers to lead the stations from a variety of natural resource professions such as Forestry, NRCS, SWCD’s, DCR, Master Gardeners, Hanover and Caroline County Public Works and Planning Department, and many other experts. This annual program has been described as a great success and very well received by students, teachers and parents.

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

EVB Ashland branch ‘adopts’ 10 Marines The EVB Ashland branch, in partnership with our customers and neighbors, has “adopted” 10 Marines through the Adopt-A-Marine program. This program enables participants to select a Marine and provision the Marine with a variety of items. As a result of the generous support of many customers and community members, 30 care packages have been shipped to the Marines serving in the Middle East. Patricia Gallagher, senior vice president and director of strategic planning and marketing at EVB, said, “A special thank you goes out to Old Dominion Timber, REEB Millwork, and Advantage Sales and Marketing for helping make Adopt-A-Marine program so successful.”
A final shipment is scheduled for the end of September. The personal bankers at the EVB Ashland office invite anyone interested in participating in this program to contact them to find out how they can become involved in the cause.

to think, and most likely you resent anyone doing so to you. Yet you would do exactly that to others; you would not allow people to be who they were born and grew up to be, and even punish them for it, because they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t meet your standards.

Taking issue with Biden term Vice President Joe Biden called Tea Party members â&#x20AC;&#x153;terrorists.â&#x20AC;? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s right. People who believe in the Constitution, the right to vote, curtailing spending money that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have, and stopping the creation of money out of thin air are terrorists. The terrorists I know blow up polling stations, kill government officials they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t agree with, fly planes loaded with passengers into buildings, slit the throats of captives, blow up churches, kill ministers, bomb synagogues, use women and children as human bombs, hijack planes, kidnap foreign hostages, and so much more. So, Mr. Biden, can you name a single Tea Party advocate who has engaged in any of these practices? Just one will do. Of course, you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. But since the media offers similar comments about the Tea Party, I doubt that there will be much coverage of your comments from the once mainstream media. The media coverage I have seen is supplying cover for the vice presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s latest â&#x20AC;&#x153;gaffe.â&#x20AC;? William Winfrey Mechanicsville

Facts given to suffering nation Let these facts be submitted to a suffering nation: â?? The politicians have continuously ignored our Constitution, trampling the rights of the states and the people. â?? The politicians have completely destroyed the concept of equality, dividing the nation into countless factions in order to garner political support. â?? The politicians have criminally refused fiscal responsibility, incurring debts and obligations designed to enslave our posterity in the cruelest of ways. â?? The politicians have repeatedly failed our children by blindly supporting a failing,
and, in places, inept education system. â?? The politicians have blatantly abused our citizens with a ridiculously complex and intrusive tax code. â?? The politicians have consistently championed political correctness instead of making the difficult decisions that wisdom demands. â?? The politicians have cunningly rigged the election process so that the vast majority of incumbents are re-elected despite an overwhelming disapproval of their work. â?? Too many politicians have routinely ignored our Creator. Ladies and gentleman, in case you havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t noticed, we have all been scammed. Daniel Gregory Mechanicsville

Atlee student takes part in NASA summer class Atlee High School student Megan Isabelle spent a week of her summer planning a mission to Mars. Isabelle was one of 48 rising high school seniors from across the Commonwealth selected to take part in the Virginia Aerospace Science and Technology Scholars academy. The academy was held July 9-15 at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, and was hosted by NASA Langley in a partnership with the Virginia Space Grant Consortium. Prior to the academy, the students completed a six-month interactive distance-learning program on aerospace exploration that prepared them for their intensive week at NASA Langley. During the academy, Isabelle built, programmed and tested robots, toured NASA labs and facilities, talked with NASA researchers, scientists and astronaut Dr. Roger Crouch, as well as gained solid workforce experience and college credit. Isabelle was on the Living There team, one of four teams that worked together to plan a mission to Mars. This team was charged with ensuring safe and efficient living arrangements for the crew. On the team, she was responsible for finding natural resources on Mars and converting them into resources the astronauts could use while there. “I liked how each of us start-

Aug. 15 is deadline to apply for Cooling Assistance funds Monday, Aug. 15, is the deadline to apply for Cooling Assistance funds available through the Hanover County Department of Social Services. Cooling Assistance helps eligible households meet costs related to cooling one’s home. This can include: ● Payment of electric bills (up to a determined maximum) to operate cooling equipment. ● Payment of security deposits for electricity to operate cooling equipment. ● Repair of a central air conditioning system or heat pump. ● Purchase of a wholehouse fan, including ceiling or attic fans. ● The purchase and installation of one window unit air conditioner for households where there is no unit or where the unit needs to be replaced. To be eligible, the household must have at least one
vulnerable individual aged 60 or older, disabled, or a child under age 6. Assistance is based on the availability of funds and is firstcome, first-serve. Renters must have written permission from their landlord to make alterations or improvements to the property in order to be eligible. An eligible household can receive more than one type of assistance per application and may apply more than once during the cooling season, but only one member of a household may apply. Financial eligibility is based on income only. Income levels cannot exceed federal poverty guidelines by more than 30 percent. Applicants must provide proof of income for all household members. see COOLING, pg. 24

Scott and Spiders open doors to TV show With college football season fast approaching, University of Richmond football fans can get a jump start on the newlook Spiders with a behindthe-scenes training camp show airing on Comcast SportsNet Mid-Atlantic this August. Chronicling the Spiders’ 2011 preseason camp, the show will give fans an allaccess, never-before-seen look into the inner workings of an elite college football program at the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) level. “This is a unique opportunity for the University of Richmond to showcase our championship football program, our outstanding campus and give fans a better look at the day-to-day lives of our players and coaches,” said head coach Latrell Scott, an alumnus of Lee-Davis High School. “We are proud to be the City of Richmond’s football team and we’re excited about the partnership with Comcast SportsNet to expose our program in this exclusive way.” To capitalize on the momentum created by the announcement of the show, the University of Richmond and Comcast SportsNet plan to utilize social

media channels to solicit the show’s name. To submit your naming ideas, follow Spider Football on Twitter (@Spider_Football), on Facebook (search: Richmond Spiders Football) or Comcast SportsNet on Twitter (@csnwashington) and hashtag your
suggestions #SpidersCSN. The show’s name will be announced when Training Camp opens August 5. The two-episode series debuts Sunday, August 21 and Monday August 22 at 9 p.m. ET, with the second episode airing Sunday, August 28 and Monday,
August 29 at 9 p.m. The full hour-long presentation re-airs Tuesday, August 30 at 7 p.m. and Wednesday, August 31 at 4 p.m. The network also plans to keep the show on its on-demand channel throughout the 2011 college football season.
The Spiders Training Camp show is a result of the great partnership between Richmond Athletics and Comcast SportsNet, and is being produced by two-time Emmy Award-winning 3 Penny Films, which has done similar projects for University of Miami Football, Auburn University Football, University of Maryland Football and Marquette University Basketball. Richmond is the first FCS client of 3 Penny Films. The film crew, led by former University of Maryland and Washington Redskins placekicker Jess Atkinson, will follow the team before, during and after each practice. The crew will also sit in on team and positional meetings, as well as a number of off-the-field activities. Footage for the show will be shot during the first week of Richmond’s 2011 Training Camp, and the Spiders will air outtakes and brief web features on SpiderTV via the athletic department’s website - www.RichmondSpiders.com - throughout the season.

ger stuff on the roads. Shorter stuff on the trails hurts more, but it’s a lot of fun.” Several participants noted that part of the appeal of the Goochland race lay in its charitable goals, which include raising money for the Goochland Free Clinic, the March of Dimes NICU Family Support Program, and the Goochland Family YMCA. “You always have to race
beyond yourself,” Kunnen said. “If you’re racing for yourself, it gets stale, so you’ve got to find a bigger purpose to race for.” Rounding out the topfive men’s finishers were David Kunnen of Richmond in third place with a time of 1:00:39, followed by Douglas Landau of Oak Hill (1:01:31) and Frankie Marcinkowski of Burke (1:01:36). Connie Glueck of Williamsburg finished second among women participants with a time of 1:04:59,
followed by Kate Fisher of Richmond (1:10:12), Danielle Hardaway of Culpeper (1:10:29), and Sabrina Steele of Troy (1:10:35). Eight-year-old Jefferson Pruiett of Sandy Hook was the youngest participant overall. He finished in 179th place with a time of 1:477:49. The oldest participant was Mechanicville’s Gene White. The 78-year-old finished No. 143 with a time of 1:27:41 — well ahead of some people as little as one-quarter his age. “I feel blessed,” White said.
“I have had people that allow me to run with them, that have been so supportive and keep me going.” Given the nice weather, White found much more to feel blessed about, such as the breakfast race organizers served the participants. “The pancakes were excellent,” White said, but he was not through. “It’s a nice location. What, it’s Saturday morning and it’s just 9:50. We’ve got all day Saturday and Sunday — what a great way to start a weekend!”
The University of Richmond has established itself as one of the elite programs at the Football Championship Subdivision level over the last decade, winning five conference titles, making five playoff appearances and in 2008, becoming just the second-ever private institution to claim the Division-I Football National Championship.

Volunteering has never been so much fun Local golfers see the other side of the sport working as caddies for the pros By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com This weekend hundreds of fans will watch the 75 professional golfers compete in the Eagle Classic LPGA Futures Tour event at Richmond Country Club. At the same time, largely unnoticed in the background there will be a select group of individuals that walk the line between the professional golfer and the casual golf fan. Among the volunteers who donate their time to pull off one of the top events on the Futures Tour, perhaps none enjoy their job more than those that walk the course along side the professional golfers as their caddies. While some Futures Tour players bring their own caddies to the tournament others utilize professionals who are available to work the event. “If there’s no LPGA event going on some of the LPGA caddies come over and caddy for these
girls,” said Richmond Country Club President Greg Solomon. “There must have been 20 or 25 caddies from the LPGA last year.” But because the Futures Tour is for player development, a portion of the golfers rely on caddies who jump at the opportunity to take on the assignment from the local volunteer pool. Among those is Solomon, who for the third year in a row will set aside his presidential title for the weekend to pick up a golf bag. To Solomon, acting as a caddy brings a whole new prospective to the game. “It’s

more than just walking around and watching them because you’re right there with them,” he said. The duties for each caddy vary depending on the golfer they are paired with. While some caddies may occasionally be asked to confirm the read on the green, Solomon pointed out that assistance comes few and far between. “Normally when I caddy I don’t read anything,” he said. “They’re way better players than I am.” Douglas Freeman rising senior Jack Gayner is another avid golfer who return to RCC as a caddy this weekend. Last year Gayner, who regularly caddies at Kinloch Golf Club, was the caddy for Eileen Vargas as the Columbian earned a tie for 18th in the Greater Richmond Classic. Gayner met Vargas at last year’s pro-am and got the job through a casual conversation. “I just struck up a conversation saying that I caddied at Kinloch all summer and was looking to caddy at the tournament,” Gayner said. “She said, you should caddy for me. “It was a bit of an adjustment caddying for a Kinloch golfer and caddying for a professional golfer,” he said. “Everything had to be more precise and there’s

Local high school golfers volunteer for multiple tasks during the Futures Tour event at Richmond Country Club including acting as standard bearers (above left) for the leading groups. But none would appear to enjoy their time more than the caddies. Above: Douglas Freeman rising senior golfer Jack Gayner, right, will be taking on the role as professional caddy for the second striaght year during the Eagle Classic LPGA Futures Tour event at RCC this weekend. Last year, Gayner caddied for Columbian golfer Eileen Vargas, left, as she earned a tie for 18th in the event.
no room for mistakes.” Gayner’s duties changed over the weekend. “The first day it was helping find yardage, carry the bag,” he said. “The second day it was help find yardage, give me your opinion on the wind and slop of the course. Then the third day she asked me to read a putt on the back nine. So we developed a little chemistry as the tournament progressed.” However, each of the volunteer caddies picked up on one of the most important rules early. “The main thing was knowing when to open your mouth and when to shut your mouth,” Gayner said. “That was from being around different golfers. Some of the pros would want to talk to you and that was how they relaxed. Then some of the pros would be, ‘Stay out of my way, I’m in the zone’.” Solomon laughed that one of his biggest snafus as a caddy came from speaking at the
wrong time. “One of the gals was just off the (14th) green and there’s a real severe slope going down,” he said. “Her caddy walks on and he said, ‘I think you need to chip it up to here.’ She said. ‘There’s no way it’s going to break that much to go down that hill’.” As a RCC member who played the course innumerable times, Solomon simply reacted. “I just couldn’t stop myself,” Solomon laughed. “I said, ‘Oh yes it is.’” Solomon immediately realized his mistake. “My player slapped me on the back and the little entourage all started laughing because they could see as soon as I said it, I knew it. I really could have cost (his golfer) a stroke if either of the other two players had made a remark about it.” This fall Gayner will be entering his fourth year as a member of the Freeman golf team. He feels walking along
side the professionals on his home course has helped his play. “Number 3, the par five, I never knew where to aim,” he said. “I always missed my drive, but there’s a little clearing in the trees where I now always look off the tee box. That’s where I need to hit my drive.” For both golfers, acting as a caddy is a job they would not trade with anyone. “For me it was really an unbelievable experience, just how good they are,” Solomon said. “I mean some of the shots I witnessed were just unbelievable and you’re right there in their mind with them. You feel the pain and you feel the competition.”
