watersheds. Legislation signed included measures to regulate the use of certain fertilizers, allow agricultural land to be deemed in full compliance with its total maximum daily load allocation (TMDL) upon implementation and maintenance of a resource management plan and authorize the Secretary of Natural Resources to study the expansion of the Chesapeake Bay Watershed Nutrient

Gaskin named to Mother’s loss motivates her to write book, become public speaker top economic post By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com shlynn Shufflebarger would have entered kindergarten this fall. With that in mind, her family will celebrate her 5th birthday tomorrow by filling backpacks for children in need. Sadly, the little girl they will remember had a brief life of two and a half days. The infant’s death inspired her mother Cindy to write “Dancing in the Rain” and share her story as a public speaker. Cindy was 17 weeks pregnant when she learned her baby had a fatal chromosomal defect. “She had Trisomy 18, which is basically an extra 18 chromosome,” Cindy said. “The term that was shared with me is that it is incompatible with life.”

In August 2010, Rural Point Elementary School began a year-long community service project in support of the organization “Stop Hunger Now,” an international hunger relief alliance that coordinates the distribution of food and other life-saving aid to 76 countries around the world. The school began its fundraising efforts by selling laminated apple cutouts with donor names in order to sponsor a meal packaging program through Stop Hunger Now. The apples were displayed along the school hallway corridor as a constant reminder of their important community service initiative. In addition, proceeds from a variety of SCA events such as Chick-fil-A Night and school popcorn sales are going toward the goal of raising $5,000. The school raised more than $2,500, which enabled the fifth graders to package 10,000 meals.
The school also raised an additional $2,500 to enable the faculty and staff to package another 10,000 dehydrated, high protein, nutritious meals that will be used for victims of crisis situations, such as the Haiti and Japan earthquakes, and to supply feeding programs for schools and orphanages in developing countries worldwide. On May 11, a representative from Stop Hunger Now spoke to Rural Point’s fifth graders about the project. During the presentation, the students had an opportunity to sample the packaged meals and learned more about world hunger. On June 8, the 125 fifth graders packaged meals for the program at Rural Point Elementary School. Information submitted by Linda M. Scarborough, communications specialist, Hanover County Public Schools.

This legislation will effectively recognize our agricultural land owners that are in compliance with efforts to enhance the water quality of the Chesapeake Bay and Virginia’s other watersheds. Gov. McDonnell also said, “When developing Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay Watershed Implementation Plan, we worked closely with our agricultural industry, environmental groups and local government representatives to make sure the goals in the plan were realistic and achievable. The eight pieces of legislation signed today will bring us much closer to effectively enhancing the water quality of the Bay and Virginia’s other watersheds and ensuring that our agriculture industry continues to use environmentally sound practices.” Del.

Realtors become homebuilders By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com Having already established themselves as real estate agents with Long & Foster, Rick Giles and Chuck Jenkins decided to take on a new challenge: building houses. They formed River City Builders and have built and
sold three houses since starting the company in Mechanicsville last August. After years of selling homes, they said it was becoming more difficult to find affordable and well-built new homes for their clients. This led to the creation of River City Builders. They said their first has been
“fantastic” and “started out with a bang.” Their first project was in Christian Ridge in Old Church. “Within 35 days of putting that house on the market,” Jenkins said, “it sold for full price.” That success, he added, found them building in Madison Estates. see REALTORS, pg. 18

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
Sharing memories can ‘take you home again’ According to AARP, this writer officially became a senior citizen a few weeks ago. On the plus side, considering today’s economy, the senior discount will certainly come in handy. As we age, there seems to be a magnetic-like attraction to reconnect with our past. Yes, here is one “senior” who has found herself communicating — mostly thanks to Facebook — with friends from throughout the years. High on the list are those from my public school days. We read and hear about the influence of social media. With the eager anticipation of a mini class reunion planned for October, it’s been energizing to receive messages from old friends. From professional and personal perspectives, being connected has provided a link to so many people from across the miles. The Local’s Facebook page continues to gain fans and how exciting it is to see postings from new residents seeking information about our community. And what a bonus when we see your responses. We’re glad you use our page as a tool to communicate — especially when we’re able to say “Welcome to Mechanicsville/Hanover County!”

Lebanon UMC teens improve homes at LebCamp ost teens spend their summers doing good by battling the evil alien monsters on their TV screens from their couches, with the air conditioning cranking away, and the refrigerator within easy reach. The teens of Lebanon United Methodist Church, however, chose to spend a week of their summer doing good in the community, outside. That’s right, a little more than 30 teenagers decided to spend a week in the 100-degree heat, building houses, making connections, and just making their community a little bit better. “LebCamp,” was created by Jason Stanley, the youth pastor of LUMC, as a way to get youth involved in the community. LebCamp has been going on for seven years. “Instilling a missional heart [a heart willing to serve others] in young people is very important to me. LebCamp is the perfect vehicle in which that happens,” Stanley said. This year the team of campers completed 16 projects, ranging from building decks, to painting, to patching roofs, all for people that cannot afford, or have the means to complete these repairs on their own. But the other important thing that the teenagers do is build relationships with their residents. “My residents were so

sweet. It’s just not right that good people like that should live that way,” fifth year LebCamper Hannah Scarborough said. “Mrs. Clark is certainly one of the top three favorite people I’ve ever met. She seemed closer to God than many pastors. There really isn’t enough I can say about her. I tried to cherish every moment she spoke, you just don’t meet people
like this every day,” third year LebCamper Jeremy Eye said. The question is why do they do it? For one week teens must give up their phones, Facebook and video games to do work. For some teenagers the fact that they could not have constant access to their cells would send them reeling, their fingers itching to text someone. This is not the case for the LebCampers though.
“This was my second year back at Lebcamp, and one thing that kept and is keeping me from coming back is watching people (mostly youth) take time out of their summer and help the less fortunate. Seeing how I was transformed this last week was such a great opportunity not only for me, but for my peers. The relationships that are built with the residents, friends, staff
and God are endless. I have to say, Lebcamp is one of the most eye-opening experiences I have had. Nothing in this world can beat the feeling of touching a complete stranger, with the work through God,” Kelsey Dore said. Many of the youth at Lebanon could say that LebCamp has changed them and the people around them in their lives. “I’d have to say it’s a great way to get out there and make a difference where it counts, our own community,” second year LebCamper Christian Clark said. Fellow LebCamper Graham Roper also has been affected and transformed by LebCamp. “I go to LebCamp because it’s tradition. It’s the only place where you can be totally surrounded by people who genuinely love you. LebCamp is about serving others and finding god through your service. Not many people would be so excited about waking up at six to work in heat for people they have never met,” Roper said. Lindsey Payne attended LebCamp for the first time this year, and she too was affected on a personal level. “Well, one thing that hit me right away was the love and sense of community the church exuded. Every person I met impacted me because they were so kind. I don’t think I had ever really been surrounded by so
much kindness before. I felt transformed by each person I formed a relationship with -- no matter if it was someone who I already knew or someone I had just met,” Payne said. “I really got a sense of being in a family with the people around me.” Several adults also help out with the projects throughout the week, whether they simply provide a lunch one day or they stay on site with the youth guiding them and ensuring their safety with power tools and other matters. Leslie Clark is a mother of two and provided two lunches during the week of LebCamp. “I think it was very inspiring to see the young kids and adults taking time to do things for others. I did tell them they were showing a lot of compassion that week,” Clark said. “Campers every year put forth effort and time into making the world around them a better place for everyone. Whether they build someone a new deck or merely paint a floor the effects are still felt in the hearts of their residents, and their own,” Stanley said.

Ashlynn’s death left the Mechanicsville family dealing with what Cindy described as “a huge void.� She and Scott, she said, “had more choices to make. How do we keep living?

There were times I struggled with that plan, but I would say there was a turning point for me that happened about five weeks after she had passed away.� A topic at a women’s conference awakened in her the realization of God’s love for her and a path of healing.

R-MC ready for new term By Jim Fields jfields@mechlocal.com Rodney Bardwell wears many hats at Randolph-Macon College, but the one currently occupying most of his time is as director of Residence Life and Housing. He has to make sure that the dormitory rooms and living quarters on campus are ready to start receiving just over 1,100 students that will soon call Ashland home for the next academic year by Thursday, Aug. 18. “The football players come in next week, and then shortly thereafter, the other fall sports teams arrive,” Bardwell said on Tuesday, Aug. 9. “We have a rolling schedule of when students return, and everybody will be on campus by early September.” “We have been working all summer, making small repairs and refurbishing rooms,” he added. “We are looking forward to opening Andrews Hall to incoming freshmen. By putting freshmen there, we will complete our freshman village area where we have all the freshmen housed.” The dorm is named for the Rev. Ira L. Andrews III, R-MC Class of ’59, and the retired

One thing you will not see at R-MC this fall are room and dorm keys. “Fobs have replaced keys,” Bardwell said. “Every student will be issued one with personal information about the student encoded. When it is held up to a fobs’ reader, it records the information and unlocks the door. They are small enough to fit on a keychain, and the encoded information will allow us to keep up with who goes where and when.” R-MC is a residential college, meaning, with few exceptions, students live on campus. “We have some area students that commute,” Bardwell said. “To be a commuter, the student has to live with his parents and live within a short driving distance of the campus.” Older students can receive a waiver to live off campus. “If a student turns 22 years of age during his or her senior year, or already has turned 22, they can request a waiver to live off campus,” Bardwell added. “They have to fill out a request form and several criteria are looked at, including their academic standing. If it’s approved, the student can then arrange for off-campus housing.” Co-ed housing is prevalent at R-MC.

“We really haven’t had major problems with young men and women living in the same dorm and even on the same hall,” he said. “When we have men and women on the same floors, the rooms are arranged in suites. You’ll have two rooms with a bathroom between them. So, we can house four women in a suite or four men, but we don’t mix them.” In his position, Bardwell makes sure that once the students are moved in that there is someone available 24/7 to take care of problem. “My department also puts on special programs, especially for the freshmen, to help them transition from a home and parental environment to one where they are pretty much on their own,” he added. “For some students, this might be their first real experience away from home, and suddenly it’s up to them to set their own standards and guidelines. We are here for them to help them make the right choices so their R-MC experience is a good one.” Although the final enrollment number will not be available until after classes start, this year’s freshman class is expected to exceed the largest in school history of 419. And with another dorm to be constructed in the near future, the enrollment number is expected to continue to climb over the next few years.

CERT training starts Sept. 7 Hanover County Fire/EMS offers a special class to help you become prepared to help others and yourself in the event of an emergency or disaster. The class is called CERT, which stands for Community Emergency Response Teams, and you’re invited to sign up. Those interested are asked to sign up by 4:30 p.m. on
Friday, Aug. 26, for the next class, which begins on Sept. 7. Classes will be held from about 6 to 9 p.m. on Wednesdays at the Harman-Taylor Fire/ EMS Training Center west of Ashland. Classes are taught by professionals from Hanover Fire/ EMS, the American Red Cross and other agencies active in
emergency preparedness. Following a major disaster, first responders who provide fire and medical services will not be able to reach everyone. People will have to rely on each other for help in order to meet immediate lifesaving and lifesustaining needs. CERT memsee CERT, pg. 17

REALTORS Continued from pg. 5
According to Jenkins, River City Builders has acquired “the whole subdivision of 31 lots. The developer has given us the exclusive listing and made us the exclusive builder for the whole community.” The two men point out that they hire local contractors on their projects. They focus on single family homes of 1,800 square feet and up. Among their floor plans are The Lindsey, The Lindsey II, The Logan and The Stacey. Jenkins and Giles said every
home is custom crafted, with quality and detail emphasized. They also said that the houses they construct “come standard with many high-end features, including hardwood floors, granite countertops, ceramic tile, dry stacked stone, copper roof accents and even Cedarboard insulated siding.” “River City Builders offers the same affordability as many national tract homebuilders,” they said, “with one big difference. Customers are encouraged to make modifications to suit their specific needs, a feature usually reserved for buyers of expensive custom homes.”
As licensed real estate agents, Jenkins and Giles consider themselves to be unique in owning a homebuilding company. They said they are able to assist customers with buying a River City Builders home and help homebuyers list and sell their existing property. They said this is a service most larger tract homebuilders can’t offer. “Being active real estate agents enables us to see the entire market, not just our slice of the pie. That gives us tremendous insight into current values, desirable locations and even the latest trends, enabling us to modify our offerings to meet

current demand,” Giles said. Being realtors, they quickly note that “licensed agents are the backbone of our sales and marketing efforts. That’s why we gladly honor all agent/client relationships and routinely ask unaccompanied homebuyers who they are working with to ensure their agent gets the credit he or she deserves,” Jenkins added. Construction on their fourth house, the third in Madison Estates, is underway. River City Builders also has secured the exclusive listing and building opportunity for Glebe Hill near Georgetown Road and U.S. 301. Jenkins said there are 80-plus one-acre lots on a 500-acre tract of land. While they share many

“…And Now I Am PAIN FREE!”
MEDICAL STUDY SHOWS UP TO 90% SUCCESS IN LOWER BACK AND NECK PAIN RELIEF OFFERING PROFOUND HEALING RELIEF FROM CHRONIC PAINS WITH CENTRAL VIRGINIA’S ONLY NEWLIFETM HEALING SYSTEM®
Introducing Dr. Jackye Kim and Dr. Jason Hurst
TESTIMONIALS of SMALL MIRACLES Josette, Age 81 I came into INTEGRATIVE HEALTH Spine &
Are you in pain? Have you tried everything to alleviate your pain without success? Are you contemplating surgery? Tried injections? Had surgery and are still in pain? In many cases, the operations are necessary for proper health and recovery from an injury. However, we have seen many patients who received operations they may not have needed and are still in ridiculous pain. Our Newlife™ Healing System is both high-tech and non-force, and most important, proven to be a safe and effective alternative to surgery. You will see we have the best therapeutic modality for advanced pain relief and expedited healing times! Our Newlife Laser delivers soothing, deep, penetrating, photonic energy to bring about profound physiological changes. The inflammation is reduced, pain gates are blocked and the damaged tissues begin the physiological process of repair 3-5 times faster than normal. This all occurs as the essential healing factors are brought in and the non-essential wastes are removed, with increased circulation at the site of injury. These therapeutic enhancements of the cellular chemistry are triggered by our Newlife Laser, making it a truly profound healing modality and experience…guaranteed!
Disc Center to be treated for pain in my lower back that radiated into my right leg. I had the problem for at least 2 years. I have been to other chiropractors in the past but they weren’t able to help me. I used to exercise 3 times a week, but had to stop because of the pain. That is not the case anymore. I can finally exercise again without pain! I received NewLife Laser Therapy, Decompression therapy, and performed various exercises and stretches during my treatment. The doctors and staff were very thorough, and
the treatment was gentle and painless...and now I am PAIN FREE! I would definitely recommend anyone in pain to go to INTEGRATIVE HEALTH Spine & Disc Center.
Connie, Age 51 I can’t say enough about the success of the treatment
Surgeon has PERSONAL Experience! Dr. Robert Morrow, a well-known, trusted orthopedic surgeon, who had completed over 15,000 surgeries, said “I was suffering from shoulder pain for 6 months straight with no relief. I heard about laser treatment and after seeing and hearing many of my patient’s stories, I did more research on the topic and found that the doctors and staff now using these Newlife Lasers finally have a tool to help people who think that surgery is their only option. I went to get treated and was amazed that it took away all of my pain. After 6 months of misery, I was relieved and I am now Pain Free! I know that orthopedic surgeons don’t always fully understand the available alternatives to surgery and, as a result, many patients are sent through long, painful and costly procedures. There are many of you who have been through the process of using prescription medications and injections … with little or no relief. Physicians who recommend drugs are limited by their options, for treatment, so they continue to prescribe medications. I have found that this Newlife™ Healing System is very effective at treating patients that have not responded to other procedures, even those who have already tried surgery. I concluded, to give patients the best possible care, there needs to be referrals provided to chronic pain patients so they can receive these unique therapies.”
Are PILLS & INJECTIONS long-term solutions for pain relief? --NO WAY! Until now, people have masked their pain by frequently taking prescription pain pills or by getting cortisone or epidural steroid injections. This type of relief masks the cause, is temporary, and more often can lead to even more pain or worse yet ---addiction to drugs! So many people innocently fall into abusing prescription pain pills while initially using them to alleviate real, constant pain. Did you know that prescription medications kill more people every year than do illegal drugs? Nobody is immune to prescription drug abuse, even radio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh. His prescription drug abuse to a medication called oxycontin almost destroyed his career and ended his life. The medication was prescribed by a doctor for pain relief!
BREAKING the standard care MOLD At Newlife Laser Clinics our referral networks are using tools that break the mold in diagnostic care, with full X-Ray facilities including Weight Bearing X-rays and MRI’s, Physiological and Functional Rehabilitation Protocols, and various manipulation techniques. We have practiced natural and new methods for many years. Our new treatments are based on methods designed from doctors of chiropractic who have treated thousands of patients, discovered secrets, treated the worst conditions and rescued patients from recommended surgeries. These doctors have always spared no expense for, using distinctly cutting-edge and uniquely-effective technologies and, profoundly altering the way, truth and light for chronic pain relief.

LIVE PAIN FREE!
I received from INTEGRATIVE HEALTH Spine & Disc Center. Three weeks ago, I was in extreme pain Today, I am virtually pain free. I was almost hopeless when I first came into their door. Through the combination of spinal decompression, laser therapy, chiropractic adjustments, and physical therapy, I have found relief and myself once again. I immediately began to see results after the first treatment, and have improved significantly each and every day. It is a new and better way of life. I smile again and can perform my job with zest and vitality once again. I would highly recommend INTEGRATIVE HEALTH Spine & Disc Center to anyone who is suffering with back and/or sciatica issues. Don’t wait any longer–just call them. It’s amazing how good I feel!
Debbie, Age 46
I came into INTEGRATIVE HEALTH Spine & Disc Center for knee pain and also for pain in my neck and pain between my shoulders. My knee pain has been a problem for 10 years. I tried injections and other medications over the years, and none of it helped. I wasn’t able to walk my dogs or work out at the gym because of the pain. I was losing hope. Then I saw the ad for INTEGRATIVE HEALTH Spine & Disc Center and thought I would give their office a try. I actually got relief on the 1st visit! From the laser treatment, to the spinal decompression, to the exercises and stretches... all of it helped dramatically. The treatments were very gentle and painless, and now I am PAIN FREE! I would absolutely recommend others to INTEGRATIVE HEALTH Spine & Disc Center. The staff is very professional, friendly and easy to work with.

Free/reduced price meals policy announced Hanover County Public Schools has announced its policy for providing free or reduced price meals for children served under the National School Lunch and/or School Breakfast Programs. Each school and/or central school nutrition office has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by any interested party. These regulations apply only to students at the elementary and middle school level. High school students may obtain information about the Meal Credit Program from an administrator at their high school. Household size and income will be used to determine eligibility for free or reduced price meal benefits. Children from households whose income is at or below the Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines may be eligible for either free or reduced price meals. The guidelines are listed by Household Size, Maximum Household Income for Free Meals and Household Income for Reduced Price Meals. 1 — $14,157; $14,157.01 to $20,147. 2 — $19,123; $19,123.01 to $27,214. 3 — $24,089; $24,089.01 to $34,281. 4 — $29,055; $29,055.01 to $41,348. 5 — $34,021; $34,021.01 to $48,415. 6 — $38,987; $38,987.01 to $55,482. 7 — $43,953; $43,953.01 to $62,549. 8 — $48,919; $48,919.01 to $69,616. For each additional family member, add $4,966 and $7,067. Children who are members of households receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits (formerly the Food
Stamp Program) or who receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) may be automatically eligible for free meals. Children who are homeless, migrant or runaway also may be automatically eligible for free meals. Foster children, who are the legal responsibility of a welfare agency or court, are eligible for free meals regardless of the income of the household with whom they reside. Children who are members of households participating in WIC also may be eligible for free or reduced-price meals based on the household’s income. Application forms are being distributed to all households with a letter informing households of the availability of free or reduced price meals for their children. Applications also are available at the principal’s office in each school and at the central office. To apply for free or reduced price meals, households must only fill out one application per household and return it to the school division. Applications may be submitted at any time during the school year. The information households provide on the application will be used for determining eligibility and verification of data. Applications may be verified at any time during the school year by school or other program officials. For school officials to determine eligibility for free or reduced price benefits, households receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits (formerly the Food Stamp Program) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) only have to list their child(ren)’s name and SNAP or TANF case number and an adult household mem-
ber must sign the application. Households who do not list a SNAP or TANF case number, including WIC households, must list the names of all household members, the amount and frequency of the income received by each household member, and the last four digits of the social security number of the adult household member who signs the application. If the household member does not have a social security number, the household member must indicate that a social
security number is not available. The application must be signed by an adult household member in order to be approved. Under the provisions of the free and reduced price meal policy, food service department administrators will review applications and determine eligibility. An application for free or reduced price meals cannot be approved unless it is complete.

Celebrating 38 Years of Outstanding Patient Care and Service Thank you to the many friends and loyal patients who have made the decision to move to Hanover County such a wonderful experience for our family. After completing service in the U. S. Air Force at Cannon Air Force Base, New Mexico and Tahk-li, Thailand, Dr. Norman Marks opened a small office with one employee across from our current office on August 20, 1973. Never would he have imagined that 38 years later he would be working everyday with both of his sons and enjoying dentistry more than ever. Thank you to everyone, especially our amazing staff and patients, who have made this dream come true.

Walter Reed visit sets mood for 9/11 weekend at RIR

Two weeks ago a group of NASCAR celebrities made, what has now become an annual visit to Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington D.C. At left: US Army Captain Joshua Peyton, left, shakes hands with NASCAR driver Kurt Busch. Peyton was injured in the line of duty while serving in Erdil, Northern Iraq.

Inspiration a two-way street during NASCAR’s visit among soldiers By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Two weeks ago a group of NASCAR personalities converged on Walter Reed Army Hospital in Washington D.C. for what has now become an annual visit. NASCAR President Mike Helton joined team owners Richard Childress and Jack Roush as well as Sprint Cup drivers Kurt Bush, David Ragan,

Greg Biffle, Matt Kenseth and others to visit wounded soldiers and their families. It was clear that NASCAR’s visit was a welcome break for servicemen and women undergoing rehabilitation and recuperating from injuries sustained in Afghanistan and Iraq. But while the visitors possessed celebrity status, it was unanimous among the NASCAR cadre that they were not the one’s who should be lauded. “The sanctioning body has created the opportunity for patriots like myself who are in the NASCAR trade and part of the
The Mechanicsville Local August 17, 2011
NASCAR community to come up here and express our appreciation for, our thanks for, and getting grounded on really what it means to be an American and realize the sacrifices that are being made by the people serving in the military,” Roush said. “I’m humbled just to the point of my inner strength with what I see and the attitude and the realization of what the sacrifices have been. (To) look at these young people and hear them relate what their ambitions are, what their motivations are for picking up their lives and going forward.”
Ragan, driver of the #6 UPS Ford, was making his fourth visit to the hospital. “It’s just an honor to come here and hang out with the men and women that serve in our military and the ones that are injured,” he said. “See how they act, see how they’re encouraging and it gives us a sense of pride to be an American.” The visit was to provide support for the recuperation soldiers but it was clear the inspiration ran both ways. “It means a tremendous amount to me,” Biffle said. “I’ve been coming here for six years now. It’s
inspiring to see all the men and women that have defended our freedoms and our country, to see what they’ve sacrificed.” For Biffle, driver of the #16 3M Ford, the visit to Walter Reed was a quick way to put life into perspective. “You think you’ve had a bad day or a bad week or had a bad finish or something happens and it’s like, ‘Oh man, it’s just terrible’,” he said. “To see what you suffer and what you’ve gone through and to see some of these men and women and what they’ve gone through, they’ve got a lot longer road. Then some of those things become so petty, the things you worry about, when you come and see what these guys have to worry about.”
Making his first visit to Walter Reed, newly named Richmond International Raceway President Dennis Bickmeier was left virtually speechless. “It’s actually hard to put into words,” he said. “To see their spirit and their drive to get better- I’ve never seen anything like that before.” Over the years, NASCAR has shown solid support for the military and Roush believes there is a clear reason why the two have formed a such close bond. “I think that the NASCAR fan and the NASCAR participant and certainly the sanctioning body are among the most patriotic of Americans,” he said. “We appreciate as much see HOSPITAL, pg. 37 `
HOSPITAL Continued from pg. 36 b
as any of our countrymen what the sacrifices are of everybody that serves in the military. They put their private lives aside and their chance for financial wellbeing aside and go off and do this thing.” Among those contributing to that sacrifice was US Army Captain Joshua Peyton. Peyton carefully protected his right hand as he made his way among the NASCAR celebrities. During a July 10 patrol in Northern Iraq, Peyton nearly lost his hand in the town of Erdil when his vehicle rolled over. He counts himself among the more fortunate soldiers at Walter Reed. Though injured in the line of duty, Peyton also found being at Walter Reed an eye-opening experience. “You’ve got upwards of 35,000 soldiers, 1300 plus amputees. I was very lucky,” he said. “I was an epidermis away from being an amputee myself. So being here puts things in perspective

for you.” The South Carolina native grew up a Jeff Gordon fan 45 minutes from Darlington. However, Peyton is not only a fan of NASCAR but a fan of sports in general. From his high school athletic days through let-

tering in baseball at West Point (1999, 2001) Peyton formed the belief that all of athletics play a vital role in the mental well being of the military and emphasized the importance of NASCAR’s regular visit to the hospital. “It’s pretty amazing
that sports has a way of unifying soldiers,” he said. “It gives everyone a common ground to talk about. “Being involved in the infantry is about the closest thing I can get to sports, except obviously we’re playing for higher

stakes,” Peyton said. “But sports, NASCAR, football, NFL- it matters to the soldiers a lot more than the public can probably understand. The sports world stays the same. It doesn’t matter what country you’re in. It doesn’t matter what war you’re fighting. Sports stay. It gives you a sense of home. It’s very important to my soldiers and very important to me.” NASCAR’s visit to Walter Reed also focused attention on the fact that the September 9-10 races at RIR will fall on the 10th anniversary weekend of 9-11. “We all remember that day like it was yesterday,” Biffle said. “It’s the only thing that’s happened in my life that I know specifically right where I was and what was happening, where I was standing. “That’s certainly on our minds and we know that’s what a lot of this,” he indicated the hospital behind him, “has led from. People trying to attack America, the United States. These guys have gone out and defended us.”
Likewise, the anniversary brings even more attention to Bickmeier’s first race at Richmond. “It’s hard to believe we’re 10 years removed from what touched off a lot of this, what we’re seeing and why we’re here visiting these soldiers and everything,” he said. “We always have a patriotic feel to our event and all of the NASCAR events have that, but it will be extra special for us.” September 11 changed the world forever and for Roush it also changed the way he signs his name. Since the twin towers fell, Roush has signed thousands of autographs, always adding a USA beneath his signature. “I figured that when the terrorists had taken out the towers, if they want to come back and take out somebody, they can come see me first,” he said. The Virginia 529 Savings Plan 250 takes place Friday, September 9 at RIR. The Wonderful Pistachios 400 marks the Last Race to Make the Chase on Saturday, September 10.

Kidder tosses in the ball after 28 years at L-D Lee-Davis soccer coach stepping away from the game By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com For nearly three decades, the name Ed Kidder has been synonymous with Lee-Davis boys soccer. In 1983 the sport of soccer was little more than an afterthought among athletes when Kidder took the helm of the Confederates’ soccer program for the first time. Now twenty-eight years later, soccer is the biggest sport in the country and Kidder believes it’s time to say goodbye. “When we first started, we’d be lucky to have two or three real soccer players,” he said. “We might have eight or nine really good athletes. Your challenge
then was to get a team going out of that.” Kidder not only got a team, but an entire program going at Lee-Davis, building the Confederates into a district powerhouse. In 28 years, the Lee-Davis boys soccer team advanced to regional play 27 times as Kidder compiled a 355-109 record. Out of his 32 years teaching at Lee-Davis, Kidder has spent a total of 29 in coaching. “When I first started out I was coaching cross country, girls JV softball- I was basically filling in wherever they needed me for a few years.” Several factors contributed into Kidder’s retirement decision. “I’m retired from the classroom so I’m not on campus anymore,” he said. “I feel like there should be some younger
people stepping up and doing the job.” But when Kidder’s top assistant coach, Tim Lawrence, made the decision to move to Staunton, that was the kicker. “We had a good system going for a number of years and did Stonewall (Middle School) as well as Lee-Davis,” Kidder said. “You really get to know the kids real well and we know each other real well, so it made for a good productive run, but an enjoyable run.” Kidder’s final season at Lee-Davis will be remembered for the way it finished. After see KIDDER, pg. 39 ` Charlie Leffler/The Local
After 28-years as head coach of the Lee-Davis boys soccer program, Ed Kidder has announced his retirement. Kidder winds up his career with a 355-109 record.
A Lyberating weekend at LPGA Eagle Classic

came in the form of a player named Lyberty. She is considered the future of golf but over two days at Richmond Country Club, 15year-old Lyberty Anderson also played the role of a major contributor to the success of the event for years to come. For the past three years, Richmond Country Club pro and Futures Tour event organizer Matthew Schulze has felt the tournament needed a

This year’s LPGA Futures Tour Eagle Classic broke attendance records in each of its first two days thanks largely to the involvement of 15-year-old Chesterfield resident Lyberty Anderson. Anderson drew by far the largest galleries of the tournament in each of her two days of play. At left: The gallery gathers around the first green to watch Anderson putt. Above from center: Anderson (orange pants), Sara, Stephen and Thomas Halsey are among 100 fans who make their way down the 9th fairway.

local entrant to really make the championship grow. For the past two years, Schulze has felt that that perfect entrant would be Anderson. Schulze finally got his wish when Anderson
agreed to compete in this year’s Eagle Classic. From that moment on the anticipation began to build. “I talked to her dad one day last week and he said, ‘I think
we’ll have a fair amount of people following her’,” Schulze said on Saturday. Previous Futures Tour events at RCC had seen the largest galleries of possibly 20-
30 fans following the leaders in the final round. For a Friday opener, a group of 10 following a single group of players would see ANDERSON, pg. 39 `

be considered substantial. When Anderson began play on the 10th tee Friday morning, a gallery of approximately 30 was watching. By the end of the day that group had grown to nearly 50. “She had a following with her when she started and they stayed with her,” Schulze said. Likewise, with Anderson shooting even par on the first day it was a dream come true for Schulze because he knew it would draw more spectators to the Saturday round. “It’s been exactly what we thought it would have been,” Schulze said. “I think it confirms a true local amateur versus regional amateur, what a difference.” Anderson’s presence and spectacular weather combined to create a record crowd on Friday, but that number was quickly surpassed on Saturday for her second round of play. “Yesterday’s attendance was more than we’ve had on any single day in three years,” Schulze said. “Today we were higher again, so we set another record for attendance.” A gallery of nearly 75 fans

struggling, the C-feds ended up fourth in the regular season but pulled off an amazing run in the Capital District Tournament to take the championship. But Kidder feels the surprise championship does not over-shadow other unexpected moments that preceded it. “There have been surprises so many years and most of them, almost all of them positive.” Though now retired from Lee-Davis, Kidder will not see much of a lapse in his schedule. Besides running a paint business, which he has for the past 35 years, he will still work as

surrounded the first tee as Anderson’s day got under way, but those numbers continued to grow. Coming down the 9th fairway, Anderson’s following had grown to over 100. Throughout the course on Saturday, if a spectator displayed a questioning look it was obvious what they were going to ask; “Where is Lyberty Anderson?” Henrico’s Stephen Halsey came to the event specifically
to watch Anderson play. He along with his young daughter Sara and son Thomas caught up with Anderson on the fourth tee and Halsey quickly ushered his daughter to a good viewing point. “I’ve been trying to get the kids hooked on golf,” he said. “I’ve been a golfer for 30 years. I’m trying to get one of the kids corrupted.” Sara, who attends St. Mary’s, enjoyed the opportunity to
watch a player only a few years older than herself compete in a professional tournament. “It’s inspiring to watch them,” she said. “It makes you want to play golf more.” Halsey was not sure which impressed him more, Anderson or her following. “This is cool,” he said. “Guys out here; professionals and trying to get on the tour and she’s a 15-year-old high school girl from Richmond and she’s got
a trainer for American Family Fitness and teach classes at J. Sergeant Reynolds. As if that wasn’t enough to keep him busy in the Richmond area, Kidder will also continue his mission to provide aide in Haiti. Kidder travels to the island country a couple of times each year with Shalom Baptist Church to do work for Mechanicsville based New Hope Haiti Mission. In Haiti, Kidder has worked at an orphanage to feed, educate and care for the children while also assisting with some construction projects. He now plans to become involved with a new project while in the country. “They have some land
outside of Port-Au-Prince that have maybe 300 to 400 people living there in very dire poverty and none of them raise food,” he said. “So, this is what I try to be more involved with, an agricultural project to set up some sustained agriculture so those people can produce some of their own food.” But even in Haiti, Kidder found a way to be involved in soccer. “Dynamo Soccer had taken them jerseys, balls- they completely outfitted a large number of kids in Port-AuPrince through that same mission. So we knew the kids had an interest in soccer,” he said. “I took some older balls down there when we went that the
kids could keep at the orphanage.” The level of talent he saw among the 7-to-14 year olds surprised him. “Their speed and ability looked probably like our small school college level.” In retirement, Kidder feels that both his coaching and teaching career have been somewhat of a surprise and admits he never thought he would find himself still coaching 28 years after he began. “In fact, the whole classroom scenario was like that,” he said. “Both classroom and coaching, I really enjoyed both and when you enjoy what you’re doing the years just sort of disappear.”
the biggest crowd out here.” Saturday marked Halsey’s first visit to the Futures Tour event, but he said it will not be his last. “It’s great so far,” he said. “It’s very impressive.” Halsey’s reaction was on par with many others who were making their first trip to RCC for a Future’s Tour event. Though they came to watch Anderson play, they left with the knowledge that there was some exceptional golf taking place across the course and it was truly a spectator event. As such, Anderson’s impact on the tournament will provide long term results. Even though Anderson stumbled in the second round, that too could show rewards for the future of the event. With Anderson struggling, some among her gallery took the opportunity to find appreciation among many of the other players in the tournament. Goochland’s Laureen Mertz and her seven year old daughter Amy set up camp on the benches by the 9th green. Mertz did not come out to see Anderson but instead to watch the professionals en masse. “My daughter’s interested in learning about golf and she’s really impressed by the girls that are so good,” she said. Mertz was not only enthralled by the level of play
she witnessed but how close fans could get to the action. “I wish I would have known how this was, we would have been here earlier today.” The pair along with Laureen’s husband already had plans to return on Sunday. Professional golfer Mesha Levister boasted one of the largest galleries other than Anderson. The Petersburg resident, who became the first black player to win the Virginia State Golf Association Women’s Amateur Championship in 2004, was followed by a large group of family members. “We’re really proud of her,” said Christopher Leonard who had made the trek from Louisburg, NC to watch his sister play. “This is a once in a lifetime thing.” Leonard, who has been to four different Futures Tour events this year was impressed by Eagle Classic. “The facility is really well organized and people her are real nice,” he said. “It’s ran very well.” But more than anything else, Leonard was impressed by the level of play he witnessed. “I played college baseball and I could hit the (heck) out of the ball,” he said. “Movement, read it, tell you what somebody’s throwing. But (hitting) that (golf) ball sitting still is truly amazing.”
