STOPS AT EVERY HOME IN TOWN

Thousands greet new Republican ticket Romney joined by Paul in local campaign stop By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local A full house crowd of more than 5,000 enthusiastic supporters greeted presumptive Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and his newly announced running mate, Rep. Paul Ryan, on Saturday to Ashland. Romney campaign officials quickly realized a scheduled visit to Homemades by Suzanne near the railroad wouldn’t come close to accommodating the large crowd, and moved the rally to Crenshaw Gymnasium at Randolph-Macon College. Even with the enlarged venue, some support-

ers couldn’t get in and enjoyed the festivities from an overflow zone established outside the gym. Joined by Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell and Del. Chris Peace, R-97, Romney brought a message of a revived and renewed America to an appreciative audience at R-MC. Romney had surprised politically seasoned pundits by choosing Ryan, and many described it as a bold choice. The seventh term U.S. congressman wasted no time taking aim at the opposition. Jim Ridolphi for The Local “I’ve got some good news and some bad news,” Ryan said. “Let’s start with the bad news The team makes it official. Ryan Paul, left, shakes hands with Republican presidential candidate see TICKET, pg. 7 `

By Dave Lawrence for The Mechanicsville Local (Editor’s note: Mechanicsville and many parts of Hanover County experienced the effects of an earthquake that struck the Louisa County community of Mineral last year.) In the wake of last year’s magnitude 5.8 earthquake that rattled buildings as far away as Georgia and Canada, big science last week began a protract-

ed detour to Louisa County. On Wednesday, staff from the Integrated Research Institutions in Seismology (IRIS) consortium, the state geologist’s office and James Madison University observed as an engineer from Honeywell installed a temporary seismic station on a farm just outside Mineral – located just a few miles from the epicenter of the temblor, which struck on Aug. 23, 2011, and see SEISMIC, pg. 8 `

OPINION | The Local Views

LETTERS

From the editor

| Reader Views

How far should we go with ‘assistance?’ Welfare has become a hot topic in the race for the White House. The campaigns of President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney recently opened the issue of “Welfare to Work,” which goes back to the days of President Bill Clinton. For weeks, Facebook postings (my personal page) have had a definite “We’re tired of paying you to do nothing” slant. And, the sad reality is that my home county had — and probably still has — far too many able-bodied Americans receiving “a check.” Yes, that was the term used for those who eagerly rushed to post offices and mailboxes at the first of the month for their “pay.” What message have we been sending for decades that it’s OK to sit home at the expense of those of us who support ourselves — and our government — by working? Well, you could say that mindset has “hit the fan.” This election is proving to be screaming that the “Give me a check” days are on the minds of voters — and they aren’t happy with this system. Does that mean we are failing those in need? No, but it isn’t unrealistic for there to be an expectation of giving back if you’re getting welfare — or any type of government assistance. Sadly, welfare has become a generational luxury. By using the word luxury, it’s referring to those who have been raised on welfare and believe they are entitled to continue to get “a check,” rather than gainful employment. While some would say our jobless rate isn’t stellar, there are jobs to be had — but you might actually have to pursue them. Novel idea, huh?! Sarcasm aside, there is a huge difference in helping those who are trying to help themselves as opposed to those who believe they are owed without benefit of contributing. Regardless of your political preference, this issue is beyond the simmering point — it’s at a full brew. Added to the sentiment is a demand that those receiving welfare receive regular drug tests. Guess it all goes back to the phrase “A hand up, not a hand out.” Thoughts? Melody Kinser

President Obama is the president of the United States, and the good news is on Nov. 6, he won’t be any longer.� Ryan said the nation has reached an economic crossroads and a change in leadership was required. “We need someone of principle, someone of achievement, someone of integrity. That man is standing next to me. His name is Mitt Romney,� Ryan said. Romney’s newly selected running mate said the president cannot run on his failed record and is resorting to other tactics to secure victory in November. “If he can’t run on his record, what’s he got left?� Ryan asked. “He’s going to divide and distract this country to win an election by default. You know what? We’re not going to fall for that.� Romney took the stage in the midst of a multi-state bus tour energized by the announcement of Ryan as his running mate earlier in the day at a Norfolk rally. “He’s done something in Washington very few people in Washington learn how to do,� Romney said, referring to Ryan. “He’s made friends on both sides of the aisle. He’s garnered respect from Republicans and Democrats. I got to tell you, I’m happy today,� the presumed nominee said. Romney also took aim at the president and his campaign tactics. “We’re going to talk about issues and not drag down in the dirt like you’re seeing from the Obama campaign,� he said. “We’re going to keep talking about what has to be done to restore the greatness of America.� The Republican nominee also fired a shot over the bow of the nations’ teachers’ unions. “We’re going to make sure our kids have schools that prepare them for the jobs of tomorrow. We’re going to do that by putting our kids and their parents and teachers first, and the teachers’ unions behind.� Romney said the type of change delivered by the current

and past appearances, that President Obama has a problem speaking without his teleprompter. His remark (gaffe) that “the private sector is doing fine� is a prime example. As a result, many Americans that heard this might question his knowledge of the private sector. The truth is the private sector is not doing well at all, and is getting worse under his administration. He’s clueless. Obama’s firm belief that bigger government with more public sector jobs and more spending is the only solution to all the problems/issues facing our country. This belief, my friends, is Socialism — pure and simple. Remember when former President Reagan said: “How can the government be the solution when the government is the problem?� How often do you see “Made in America� on commodities these days? Probably seldom. Fact: The only way to “stimulate� the private sector is to lower taxes and remove ridiculous freedom-robbing regulations so that Americans can get back to work and start making “things� again. Happiness would be seeing “Made in America� on most everything you buy. President Obama’s conIt is evident, due to his recent

Election and health care law Background The health care law jeopar- status check dizes the very liberty that our Founding Fathers cherished. A new board of unelected bureaucrats will have the power to make decisions about the kind of health care people will receive while on Medicare. The recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling also confirms the broad role the Internal Revenue Service will play in the enforcement of the health care law’s provisions. You will either buy government-approved health insurance or you will pay the tax. If you’re a business owner, you will either provide government-approved health insurance or you will be taxed per employee. The Congressional Budget Office estimates that the taxes, fees and penalties in the health care law will cost our economy more than $550 billion. This is not what we need.

Thanks for adoption help I would like to take a moment as I sit here with gratitude in my heart to thank so many who made our yard/bake sale/adoption fundraiser such a success. I obviously thank God first because He is our provider and gave us many good things today (especially good weather!). I want to thank my Calvary Chapel Mechanicsville church family and fellow homeschoolers and their friends and families for their selflessness in donating items and time and baked goods to the sale. I would also like to thank our community. Thank you for coming to the sale and also for sharing your stories relating to adoptions. Many of you got to meet us and our foster son and his new adoptive family at the sale. Thank you so much for your donations and your well wishes. I also thank Melody Kinser and The Local for advertising our fundraiser so well. We definitely made a dent in the expenses that need to be paid for this adoption; the adoptive family is beyond grateful. If anyone did not get the opportunity to donate today (Saturday, Aug. 11) and would like to, I have set up on opportunity through youcaring.com for you to be able to do so.

Hanover Access News keeps county connected By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Staying informed in Hanover County is as easy as a click or phone call away. Tom Harris, who serves as the county’s public information officer, recently updated the Board of Supervisors on the various means of communication the county employs to keep citizens up-to-date on government, recreational and community news. Hanover Access News (HAN) is an online county news service that highlights upcoming government meetings and agendas, recreational opportunities, historical and cultural events Users can access the site by visiting the county’s website and clicking on the icon in the right hand corner. It only takes minutes to enter your e-mail and district. “That’s all there is to it. It’s easy, peasy,” Harris said. “This is something that citizens across the county are interested in. I try to make it have county-wide interest.” HAN also provides a source for citizens to access emergency news when meetings are unexpectedly scheduled or receive weather related information. “When we have something

like Hurricane Irene, you might get a couple of HANs in a day,” Harris said. He said HAN was invaluable when an autistic child went missing last year. Calls for volunteers and updates on the

search were readily available online at HAN. Subscriptions to HAN have steadily increased since its inception in 2010. Harris encouraged supervisors to let their friends know about the service. “Not only is quick easy and free, but it’s informative too,” Harris said. The county also is active on social networks. “Our newest initiative is Facebook,” Harris said. “I try to update this several times a week. Our FB page has been steadily gaining in popularity since we started it at the end of last year.” The county’s FB post

includes photos from recent events like the 2012 Hanover Tomato Festival. The Hanover Review is considered the county’s well-established traditional news source in magazine form and also includes Parks and Recreation’s programs listings. Harris said the Review holds residents’ interest. “I’m happy to report the Hanover Review has received consistently high readership marks,” Harris said. “In our 2011 Citizens Survey, 86 percent of readers who responded said they read the Hanover Review. You don’t need a computer or a smartphone to access this.” Harris said the information

release also is important during emergency situations and he is an active member of the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) team. Emergency information and travelers information is dispatched on the county’s low power radio station at AM 1700. The information also is available by phone. Harris said he is responsible for the county’s online Home page. “I make sure the information is updated and accurate,” Harris said. In a fast moving and changing communication world, Harris said Hanover is poised for the changes and constantly

seeking new avenues to dispense news and information. “There are always challenges. As time and money permit, and the ways we communicate with people change, hopefully, we’ll do more with YouTube,” Harris said. The county has a presence on Twitter and uses it primarily to announce county closings. Harris said he was pleased with the ratings citizens provided in the latest survey where zero percent of respondents rated the information services poor, but assured the supervisors he won’t rest on those laurels. “There’s always room for improvement.”

spawned dozens of aftershocks since. The seismic station is part of EarthScope’s USArray: big science in that it is a continentalscale deployment of permanent and transportable seismometers – instruments that measure and record the shaking of the Earth – on a grid extending from the West Coast to the East. The primary goal of the project is to produce the equivalent of a giant CT (computed tomography) scan of the structure of the Earth beneath North America. Louisa County was not on the original grid, but the Mineral earthquake inspired more intense scientific interest in the Central Virginia Seismic Zone, an earthquake-prone area that includes much of Hanover County. “There have been hundreds of historic earthquakes in what we call the Central Virginia Seismic Zone,” said state geologist David B. Spears. “We still have not installed a really robust network of seismic monitoring. When [last year’s] earthquake happened, there still was a very sparse network in place and run on a shoestring.” Spears said earthquake scientists from all over the eastern and central U.S. descended on the area in the aftermath of the quake, installing more than 200 temporary seismometers in an effort to understand the event. “At one point, there were over 200 temporary seismometers on the ground here in the weeks and months after the big earthquake,” Spears said. “We have a much better picture of the location, depth and magnitude of the aftershocks than we

do of the main quake just because of the density of instruments that we had to record them.” Mysteries about the Central Virginia Seismic Zone go far beyond identifying the location of an individual earthquake. “We know that Central Virginia is a seismically active area. The problem is that we don’t understand very well why it’s a seismically active area,” Spears said. “We know that there are old faults that run through here, but there are old faults that run all up-and-down the Eastern Seaboard that aren’t seismically active. . . . The more typical earthquake here is something between 2.0 and 3.0 – rarely above a 4.0 earthquake. We’ve never had one historically above a

VS.

5.0 in this area.” Spears said among the questions scientists hope to answer are what might be the largest earthquake that could occur in Central Virginia and how frequently large, damaging earthquakes may occur here. But there are other mysteries that will be addressed with the transportable network, mysteries that involve looking much, much deeper than the landscape of Central Virginia via seismic tomography, in which data from a network of seismometers is used to develop images of the Earth’s structure far beneath the surface. “At the biggest scale, we’re trying to understand all of North America,” said John Taber, education and outreach program manager for IRIS. “So it’s doing a CAT scan across all of North America to figure out what’s under North America, how was North America built. It helps us understand the earthquakes that are happening now, but also going way back in time to figure out what happened before, understanding more about the rocks that are there, understanding more about mountain building.” For example, the Appalachian mountains of eastern North America were erected and worn down during continental-scale collisions with Europe and Africa as the Atlantic Ocean and its predecessors closed and reopened through tectonic processes. Many rocks of Central Virginia, it turns out, are the remnants of island arcs and micro-continents swept up in the collisions. Seismic tomography, by revealing structures obscured beneath thousands of feet of sediment, helps scientists reconstruct that history.

KEYS

“The Blue Ridge is what we call Grenville basement, so that is related to the same rocks in the Grenville Mountains of New York. That would have been the margin of North American about a billion years ago,” said Steven J. Whitmeyer, a geologist at James Madison University. “East of that, everything that is there beneath the Coastal Plain surface stuff is probably from elsewhere.” Whitmeyer pointed out that much of Goochland County may lie over rocks that slid south along the continental margin from what is now New Jersey, while much of Hanover County may lie over rocks that originated in Africa. That history may explain why the Appalachians – an ancient mountain range – remain mountains rather than hills. It turns out a large slab of what used to be the Pacific Ocean floor, the Farallon Plate, lies below us, slowly sinking deeper into the Earth’s mantle, a layer of viscous rock that lies beneath the Earth’s crust. It may be acting as something of a bulldozer, piling up mantle material before it and pushing the Appalachians higher than they would be otherwise. Residents do not have to wait for all the science to unfold before taking steps to protecting their homes, however. Practical steps can be taken now to ensure area residents are not devastated by future temblors. “If you have an existing home, buy earthquake insurance,” Spears said. “If you’re building a new home, don’t use unreinforced concrete block for your foundation. . . . If you’re concerned about earthquakes damaging your house, build on a more robust foundation.”

The Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office recently received a $1,500 technology grant from Target to enhance investigative techniques in an effort to combat crime and keep our community safe. According to Sgt. Chris R. Whitley of the Sheriff ’s Office, the grant comes as a result of a partnership between the Sheriff ’s Office and Target through the Target & BLUE law enforcement grant program. “We are pleased to continue our partnership with Target and thank the leadership team at the Mechanicsville location for supporting our efforts in keeping our community safe,” said Col. David R. Hines, sheriff. Whitley said the grant is part of an ongoing effort by Target to strengthen families and com-

munities throughout the country. Since opening its doors, Target has given 5 percent of its income to organizations that support education, the arts, social services, and volunteerism. Today that equals more than $3 million every week. “At Target, our local grants are making a difference in the communities we serve,” said Laysha Ward, president, community relations, Target. “We’re proud to partner with the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office as part of our ongoing commitment to give back to the communities where our guests and team members live and work.” Information submitted by Sgt.

6th-graders required to have Tdap All students entering sixth grade after July 1, 2006, are required by law to have a Tetanus, Diphtheria and Pertussis (Tdap) booster dose of vaccine. This vaccination may be listed as T, Td, Dtap, and/or Tdap. Hanover County Public Schools officials urge parents/ guardians to review your child’s shot record. If it has been more than five years since the last tetanus containing vaccine your child will need to have this booster shot administered before the first day of school in September. The Code of Virginia states that at least five years must have passed since the last dose of tetanus-contain-

ing vaccine was administered. The school must have proof of this vaccination by the start of the 2012-13 school year in order for your child to attend classes on the first day of school. Parents/guardians are advised to be sure this information is taken to the school’s front office by Aug. 31 or you may bring it with you on the night of Open House. For more information, contact the Hanover County Public Schools health services department at 804-365-4557. Information submitted by Linda M. Scarborough, Hanover County Public Schools communications specialist.

Disaster designation streamlined USDA has streamlined the disaster designation process, lowered emergency loan rates and created greater CRP flexibility to help farmers and ranchers in droughtstricken areas across the country. FSA’s low-interest emergency loans will help producers recover from losses due to drought, and other natural disasters. The interest rates have been reduced to 2.25 percent, providing a much-needed resource for producers hoping to recover from production and physical losses associated with natural disasters. New guidelines were announced for emergency haying and grazing on Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) land. Annual rental payments for farmers enrolled in the CRP, who use those lands for emergency grazing and hay production, will be reduced by 10 percent instead of 25 percent. Also, because of the current severe drought, all counties with a drought level of D0 or higher, as measured by the US Drought Monitor, are approved for emergency haying and grazing outside of the primary nesting season (PNS). USDA encourages all farmers and ranchers to contact their crop insurance companies and local USDA Farm Service Agency Service Centers, as applicable, to report damages to crops or livestock loss. In addition, USDA reminds livestock

producers to keep thorough records of losses, including additional expenses for such things as feed purchased due to lost supplies. Producers wishing to hay or graze CRP land must first contact the local FSA Office before beginning haying or grazing or will be subject to program penalties. There is a 10 percent reduction in the annual rental payment for authorized haying and grazing of CRP. Producers in Hanover county affected by the storms of June 29 through July 1, 2012, may apply for low interest emergency loans thru March 27, 2013. More information about federal crop insurance may be found at www.rma.usda. gov. Additional resources to help farmers and ranchers deal with disaster losses may be found at www.usda.gov/disaster.

GovDelivery The USDA Farm Service Agency offices are moving toward a paperless operation. Producers are asked to enroll in the new GovDelivery system, which will provide notices, newsletters and electronic reminders instead of a hard copy through the mail. Beginning in September 2012, all County Office Newsletters will be issued via email. Producers may either subscribe to get e-mail updates as listed below, or contact

the local county FSA Office and provide and email address. FSA, like many other organizations, is trying to work smarter and be more efficient. Moving to electronic notifications via email will help conserve resources and save taxpayer dollars. County Committee ballots will continue to be mailed to all eligible producers. Producers can subscribe to receive free e-mail updates by going to http://www.fsa. usda.gov/subscribe.

Civil Rights Complaints Process Any person, class or group of persons may file a discrimination complaint with USDA if they believe an FSA administered program or function directly or indirectly results in treatment or services being provided differently because of a person’s age, color, disability, genetic information, marital or family status, national origin, race, religion, sex, sexual orientation, parental status, political beliefs, reprisal or public assistance status. Any person alleging discrimination has the right to file a complaint within 180 days of the alleged discrimination action. A complaint may be filed in writing or orally with the agency head, any designated agency official or the Secretary of Agriculture. Visit or call any FSA office for assistance in filing a complaint.

The Local visits No Name Cay

Photo submitted by Brooke Smith

Brooke and Susan Smith of Old Church are shown at No Name Cay, Abacos, Bahamas. They said No Name Cay is uninhabited except for these semi-friendly pigs. “They swam out to greet us and it was hard to get a picture with The Mechanicsville Local,” the Smiths said, “as the pigs were trying to eat the camera.” They said that No Name Cay was one of their favorite anchorages during the six-month voyage. In November, they left Deltaville aboard their boat “Liquid Therapy,” a 36-foot trawler. They cruised down the Intracoastal Waterway as far south as Boot Key, Fla. They then came back north to Lake Worth, Fla., to wait for a “weather window” to cross to the Bahamas. After 20 days of waiting, the weather finally gave them a break. “It was essential to have correct wind direction for the crossing of the Gulf Stream to the Bahamas. Leaving before the the sun came up was a bit scary, going into the blackness of the Atlantic Ocean with waves that we could not see hitting the boat. After 13 hours, we checked through customs at West End, Bahamas,” the Smiths added. They said that each cay was unique as they traveled east through the Abaco chain. They stopped at many of the cays, the furthest east being Elbow Cay, which is famous for its manually operated, kerosene-lit lighthouse. They stayed five weeks in the Bahamas and returned to the U.S. at Fort Pierce, Fla., taking advantage of the northerly push of the Gulf Stream. On their cruise north, they stopped at many of the towns they missed on the southerly trip. The Smiths returned to Deltaville on April 28, having traveled 3,177 miles in 180 days.

manuel McNeil recently hosted the ninth annual Moriah McNeil Celebrity Golf Classic. Eight years ago, the 9year-old daughter of former NFL player Emanuel McNeil, succumbed to brain cancer. Ever since then, McNeil welcomes many of his NFL friends to his hometown of Richmond for a golf tournament to raise awareness about the battle against childhood cancer. But the highlight of the event is not the morning tee time: It’s the afternoon where he gets to visit the place where he spent many sleepless nights with his ailing daughter. Moriah McNeil went to MCV for the treatment of her cancer until she died in 2004. Each year, the day before his golf tournament, Emanuel McNeil brings his former NFL buddies into the hospital to raise the spirits of the patients and their families. They sign cards for the kids, take photos, try on

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 There is something in the stars this week pushing you to make a change, Cancer. The change may be as simple as wearing your hair a new way or as significant as changing careers.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 This is the week to shop for something new, Libra. It may be a new wardrobe, some new furnishings, or even a new car. Your purchasing power is high right now.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you may find you’re struggling a little to define your identity, but things will fall into place soon. You’re an ecclectic mix of attributes, anyway.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, you are on an emotional roller coaster and don’t know how you will feel from one second to the next. Figure out your goal for each day and then go along for the ride.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Things are off to a rough start this week, but better days are right around the corner. Keep thinking about the good times ahead. They will be here before you know it.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Your academic history and workload don’t leave much room for creativity. But if you want to go out and do something, then simply do it. You will find a work-around.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, maintain a positive attitude this week and you’ll benefit greatly from having done so. Once you get it right, everything will click.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you feel like staying in a dream world surrounded by a fence of your own making. But the reality of work and family life has to set in at some point.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, it’s time to reconsider a difficult situation. If you still hold to a particular belief, you could be limiting your possibilities. Adopt a new point of view to gain a different perspective.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, something important has passed but you are still reaping the benefits. Bask in the afterglow as much as you can because it can’t last forever.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, for one reason or another, some issues will go unresolved this week. They can wait, so don’t worry.

THIS WEEK’S ANSWERS

CLUES ACROSS 1. Pesetas (abbr.) 5. Mutual savings bank 8. Supplementing with difficulty 9. Dancer Twyla 12. 100 = 1 kwanza 13. Sleep gear 16. Travel a route regularly 17. Sever the edges 18.

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Some change is in order, Aries. You have realized it for some time now, but this week it must come to fruition. Think about the way you want to approach this.

On the diamond, 2012 was a real gem Hanover County’s ball field success was unprecedented By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The summer of 2012 will go down in history as arguably one of the best ever on the diamond in Hanover County. Despite the fact that no team reached their ultimate goal, collectively, one would be hard pressed to find any locality in the country that matched this year’s unmitigated overall success in Hanover County. From the first pitch of college teams in midFebruary to the final at-bat of Mechanicsville Post 175 in the American Legion state tournament, 2012 was a real gem for athletes on the diamond. The Randolph-Macon baseball team had yet another solid year but the local success has continued to grow even after the season came to a close. Former Lee-Davis standout Jordan Walton wrapped up his R-MC career as one of the best to ever play the game in Ashland. Then as he has done since he first started playing baseball, Walton proved his naysayers wrong. While many scouts doubted if he was capable of succeeding in professional baseball, he has excelled. The two-time All-American signed a free agent contract

36

with the St. Louis Cardinals’ organization in mid-June and by the first of August he was promoted to Class A baseball in Iowa. Walton has yet to write the final chapter on 2012. With a 29-14 record, the RMC softball team made history by producing the most single season wins and the most wins against ODAC competition. The 2012 class also notched the most career wins of any Yellow Jacket softball team in school history. For most of the high school baseball season, Atlee, Hanover and Lee-Davis were ranked in the region’s Top-10. But their success was easily overshadowed by the daunting achievement of Hanover see DIAMOND, pg. 37 `

It would be hard to find any place in the country that matched the ball field success of Hanover County this summer. Top: The Mechanicsville Post 175 baseball team became the first in 38 years, possibly ever, to go undefeated through the regular season and district tournament. Post 175 finished third in the state. Above left: The Mechanicsville 9-10 baseball team repeatedly proved their talent and resiliency by bouncing back for wins in the district, state and regional tournament to finish third at the Tournament of State Champions. Above right: The Mechanicsville Majors softball team rolled through the district and state tournament then into the Southeast Regional, out-scoring their opponents 125-6 before eventually falling in the elimination round to finish third. But these three teams were only a portion of the diamond success for Hanover County this summer.

Crowder makes the move from coach to AD Patriots softball coach takes on new role with school By David Halstead For The Mechanicsville Local Patrick Henry High School has hired a new activities director and the name is a familiar one in the community. Matt Crowder will replace Chad Knowles, who left Patrick Henry after one year to accept an administrative position with Meadowbrook High School in Chesterfield County. Crowder has deep roots at Patrick Henry, which he attended and graduated from in 1992. After graduating from Bridgewater College in 1996 with a Bachelor’s in Health and Physical Education, Crowder returned to Patrick Henry to help coach football with his long-time mentors Ray Long, Billy Farmer, and Jimmy Cobb. He became even more invested in his alma mater when he began teaching Family Life in 1998 and started coaching

DIAMOND Continued from pg. 36 b

County softball. All four county teams spent the majority of 2012 ranked in the Top-10 together, with Patrick Henry taking up nearly permanent residence at #1. By the end of the regular season, it was anyone’s game but Patrick Henry and Atlee were the ones who came away with district championships. The Central Region final four came down to Patrick Henry, Atlee, Lee-Davis and Cosby, yet Hanover proved they belonged among that group by being the only team to have defeated all four during the regular season. Though Cosby defeated

softball in 2001. Now after 14 years of coaching football and 12 years of leading the softball team to new heights, Crowder has decided to take on an even bigger role as activities director. “It’s definitely a big change and a lot more responsibility,” Crowder said. “There are a whole lot of things you don’t realize going on behind the scenes that you don’t find out until you sit behind this chair.” Crowder admitted that it was difficult to step down as head softball coach after a superb season in which the Patriots were regional and state runnerups. However, he did what he thought was in the best interest of the school. “Coming off the season that we had this year with the state championship runner-up, it was a tough decision,” Crowder said. “I had to think a while about it and it was a good decision for Patrick Henry and for me to go behind this chair and do this job.” Now he’s faced with the

tall-task of helping rebuild the Patriots football program, which has always been the main centerpiece of Patrick Henry athletics. The Patriots haven’t had a winning season since 2008 and went 2-8 last season under head coach Sam Hart. Crowder is focused on helping the program get better each and every day. “We are hoping we can improve from last season,” Crowder said. “Football has always been a big sport here and it’s always been the one sport that drives the school. We are looking to improve our record from last year and just build from there.” Crowder realizes however that as activities director, he is in charge of orchestrating all of the programs at Patrick Henry, not just the athletic teams. He will look to improve and gain support for programs such as band, theatre, and all other school clubs. Crowder will be joining forces with new principal Wanda Bibb, who comes via Hanover High School, where she was

an assistant principal. They both face a lot of uncertainty with changes looming within the next year to divisions and districts by the Virginia High School League. “We just have to continue the momentum that we built

last year and try to improve the other sports and see where we can go from there,” Crowder said. “Obviously, being the first year here, there are a lot of things that you have to feel your way around and see how things are going to work out.”

Crowder will be inheriting a program with a lot of tradition and a student body full of “Patriot Pride”. With his experience at the school and Patrick Henry red, white, and blue running through his veins, there’s no doubt that Matt Crowder is

Patrick Henry in the region championship game the two met in a rematch one week later with a state title on the line. In an epic 10-inning state championship game, the Titans edged out the Patriots for the title but even the loss could not dampen the excitement over Patrick Henry’s best season ever. While the Atlee and Mechanicsville Little League systems have always been successful, the achievements of 2012 would be hard to match. District V championships were claimed by Mechanicsville Majors softball as well as the Mechanicsville 910, Mechanicsville Seniors and Atlee Majors baseball teams. The Mechanicsville Seniors team advanced to the state

quarterfinals before being eliminated. The Atlee Majors continued to roll into the state championship game. In arguably one of the greatest Little League Major’s championships played in Va., Atlee fell to Great Falls 4-3 in a contest that went two extra innings and could have gone either way. But it was Mechanicsville’s 9-10 baseball and Majors softball that produced eye-opening results. The 9-10 baseball team repeatedly showed its resiliency, battling back from loss in the District V and state tournament’s to claim both titles. In the Tournament of State Champions in West Virginia, Mechanicsville did the same, battling and battling until

finally falling in an extra inning semifinal contest to South Carolina. To say that the Majors softball team turned in a dominating performance would be an understatement. Mechanicsville breezed through the state tournament and entered Southeast Regional play on a 10-game winning streak, most by the slaughter rule. Having outscored their post-season opponents 125-6 and the other Southeast Regional squads 492, Mechanicsville had one off game when it cost them most, giving up seven runs to North Carolina in the elimination round which brought their outstanding season to an end. With so much success preceding them, it would be hard

to believe that anyone could do better, but the achievements of the Mechanicsville American Legion baseball team may have topped them all. With a crosssection of Hanover County’s top baseball talent, Post 175 produced the first undefeated American Legion District 11 regular season in 38 years. Records have yet to prove that any other team has ever completed such a feat. Post 175’s Norman Bowles, who has been involved in American Legion baseball since 1951, said he cannot recall any other undefeated team in the past 61 years. Mechanicsville continued through the District 11 tournament without a loss and notched 23 consecutive wins before finally falling for the

first time in the second round of the state tournament. In the brutal losers’ bracket, Post 175 picked up two more wins before finally succumbing a second time and seeing their season end. Though short of their ultimate goal, Post 175 also made history by becoming the first to claim a district title and advance to the state tournament. For all of the local diamond teams, 2012 will be a year to remember but at the same time also sets the bar higher for future generations. The young players that produced this summer’s achievements will only improve over the coming year and should make Mechanicsville the place to be for diamond dreams in 2013.

RIR staff hit the streets in Mechanicsville By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Because they are located so near Richmond International Raceway, the Mechanicsville business community has always kept close ties with the professional sports complex. Last week some of the RIR staff did it’s part to maintain that relationship. RIR Communications Coordinator Greg Bartosch, Creative Services Coordinator April Lewis and Credentials Manager Candice Corrigan spent last Wednesday morning, hitting the streets in Mechanicsville to further promote their September NASCAR races by asking local businesses to allow them to display boxes of pocket programs. “It helps spreads the word for the upcoming race,” Bartosch said. “We did it once in the spring and we’re kind of following it up four or five months later. Just reminding everybody, we’re about 30 days out, we’ve got a race coming up and we

want to let everybody know about it.” Every one of the 36 businesses they approached accepted the offer. More importantly than promoting the race, it gave the RIR staff members an opportunity to interact with the people

around Mechanicsville. “It’s our backyard right there,” Bartosch said. “Mechanicsville, that’s an important area. We have a lot of our fans that are account holders there. So the fact for a lot of us to get out there and check that out it’s a really good opportunity.”

For some, such as Bartosch and track president Dennis Bickmeier, who are virtual newcomers to the area, it gives them a chance for face-to-face meeting with the local community and gauge the impact that NASCAR has on the areas

closest to the track. “We haven’t been around,” Bartosh said. “Some of the staff ’s younger haven’t been around too long. To get to go into some of the shops and hear the stories about how their businesses are affected and the positive impact

the race weekend has on their business is good for us to learnJust different places to check and an important part of town that really means a lot to us. “We live here. All of our staff is within a very close radius see RIR, pg. 39 `

Local athletes excel in Goochland Triathlon By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local About 200 participants came to Goochland early Saturday morning to test their mettle in the Goochland Sprint Triathlon. Among them was a contingent of athletes from Atlee High School, and that group acquitted itself fairly well. Recent graduates Tom Bavin, Sean Gardner and Chop Pulisic, along with returning Raider Nathaniel Hall competed in the event, based at the Goochland Family YMCA. Bavin, Gardner, and Hall were members of Atlee’s cross-country team, while Pulisic is a baseball standout. Gardner fin-

ished 10th with a time of 59:02. Pulisic finished 24th in 1:03:43 and Bavin 28th in 1:04:40. Hall, struck by a flat tire with more than a mile to go in the cycling portion of the event, finished 67th in 1:15:52, but he worked out his frustration by closing out the event with the fastest time in the run – 17:36. Gardner, Pulisic and Bavin claimed the top three slots in the 16-19 age group at the event. Geoffrey Briers of Richmond finished in 55:17 to win the men’s overall competition. Renee Kunnen of Richmond successfully defended her women’s title in 1:02:42. The team 3 Italians

beat out five other competitors in the relay competition with a 1:08:39 finish. Gardner said injury problems forced him to find other ways to exercise – ways which proved good preparation for a triathlon. “Through cross-country I’ve kind of struggled with injuries, so I was kind of forced to take up cycling and running,” Gardner said. “I added all three of them together and combined them into one event and it worked out for me.” see TRIATHLON, pg. 39 ` Dave Lawrence/For The Local

Gardner, who had been plagued with Achilles’ tendon and hip issues, said cycling took some of the strain off those areas. Somewhat ironically, the cross-country runner found the running portion of the triathlon course the hardest. “It was kind of tough off the run because your legs are all tired,” he said. It turns out that Gardner, the veteran of two previous triathlons, encouraged the other three Raiders to join him in Goochland. “Sean got us all into it,” said Tom Bavin. “With him already doing triathlons, it really helped us get into the sport.”

He enjoyed his first experience with a triathlon was positive. “It’s really different, but I really, really liked it,” Bavin said. “It was a lot more fun because it includes biking, which I really like, and swimming, which is not my favorite sport, but which makes it more enjoyable. There’s much more camaraderie in it.” For Pulisic, it was quite a switch from baseball, where the sprints are often no more than 90 feet, but he enjoyed it. “I felt good. I felt real fast today. My legs felt strong and I was happy with how it went,” Pulisic said. “It’s a whole new sport. I like this stuff. Running has always been one of my passions, so I really liked to come out here and race. I don’t

CALENDAR Continued from pg. 31 b

Two artists, John Balasa and Ann Jackson will be featured in the gallery of The Montpelier Center for Arts and Education Sept. 1 30. Meet both artists at an Opening Reception on Sept. 7, 6-9 p.m., with an Artist Talk by Balasa at 7 p.m. Call 804-883-7378, www.montpeliercenter.org for more information. Political and Financial Expression through Painting by John Balasa will feature his signature tromp l’oeil style which is a French term that means “fool the eye.” “The

subjects of my work evoke critical thinking and feeling that may cause anger, total agreement, or at least contemplation of what prompted me to create such work.” A Mixed Retrospective of works by Ann Jackson illustrates stylistic shifts from purely decorative to realism, to disturbing and sometimes absurd. Through the flights of fancy to the serious attempts, the artist searches “from an underlying vision across the means and media.” Gallery hours are Monday-Thursday: 9–8 p.m., Friday: 9–6 p.m., and Saturday: 102 p.m. The Montpelier Center is at 17205 Mountain Rd., Montpelier.
