Prescription drug WHO BROKE IN? discount card offered
Professional building hit by burglars
Hanover County offers a Prescription Drug Discount Card that reduces the high price of prescription drugs. In July 2010, Hanover residents using the Drug Discount Card saved an average of $10.67 per prescription. That’s an average savings of 25.3 percent off the retail price. The discounts apply to commonly prescribed drugs in cases when the prescriptions are not covered by insurance.
By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com While investigators continue to pursue leads into a relatively new cold case of burglary, the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office is urging residents and businesses to take steps to avoid becoming the victim. Over the President’s Day weekend, Feb. 13-14, a breakin occurred at the Lockwood Business Center at 9007 Atlee Station Road in Mechanicsville. Lt. Glenn Schneider said the building “had an exterior door they (culprits) were able to BLAND get through and then they forced entry into several businesses inside.” Petty cash, digital cameras, “little small things you can carry

At the time of the break-in, officers with the Crime Prevention unit went to the scene where they addressed issues with the exterior door. “We haven’t had any problems down there since,” Schneider said.

Laura Guthrie spent a week of her summer planning a mission to Mars. Guthrie, a student from Hanover High School in Mechanicsville, was one of 48 rising high school seniors from across the Commonwealth selected to take part in the Virginia Aerospace Science and Technology Scholars (VASTS) academy. The academy was held July 10-16 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, Guthrie 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. Guthrie worked on a team charged with finding evidence of life on Mars, collecting and processing samples, and determining proper space tools to use. On the team, she acted as systems manager. Guthrie, who is interested in engineering, said the academy was intense but a lot of fun working collaboratively with others. “I got so much out of the experience,” she said. “It was great finally meeting other students who had worked online like I had for so long. We had a lot to talk about and we learned a lot.” VASTS is a competitive program that allows high school juniors the opportunity

Recent rains prompt lift to burning ban The ban on open burning that was declared because of the drought has been lifted in Hanover County. Recent rainfall has eased what had been a hazardous situation for potential fires. However, Hanover County continues to enforce its normal restrictions against burning within Hanover’s Overlay Urban Development
District or within a district zoned Residential. Residents within those areas are not allowed to open-burn at any time during the year without a permit from the Fire Marshal’s Office (except for campfires or other fires solely for recreational uses, which are allowed). For more information, call the Fire Marshal’s Office at 365-6195.

school, which is located at the Walnut Grove Baptist Church on Cold Harbor Road in Mechanicsville. Cunningham, who has been involved in the planning process from the beginning, said it has taken about a year to reach fruition. The school will operate under the umbrella of the Children’s Learning Center at the church. “A small group of parents came together and really gave a lot of thought to how we could design a school that would meet the needs of academically talented children,” she said. The benefit, she said, comes with smaller class sizes. “We’re looking for 10 to 15 [students in a classroom].” With certified teachers, “We’re intertwining the Virginia SOLs (Standards of Learning) and a rigorous curriculum developed by the William and Mary Center for Gifted Education. That curriculum really focuses on higher order thinking skills and problem solving.” Cunningham said the school is attracting students that have been homeschooled, as well as those from public and private schools. “It’s really a choice to see if this school meets the needs of the child,” she said. “We’re pretty excited about what we’re doing,” she added. “We believe that these children are going to be the doctors, the lawyers, the solvers of economic problems – they’re going to be
very influential people and so we’re beginning their education with that goal in mind, so all of our focus is on having them think, read, write, analyze and work cooperatively to solve problems.” As for the students, she said “I believe that they are excited because the school allows them to accelerate their studies so if they master the SOL or the objective they can continue to move, so they have accelerated pacing and depth of learning.” She said the school will provide students with the opportunity to pursue an independent research project focusing on their particular interests, hobbies and strengths. “The independent research projects will result in a product or a demonstration that they can share with other people. An example of a project could be that he builds a Lego device that can navigate underwater, on land or in the air. Then he has to demonstrate his device at Parent Information Night and explain the benefits of owning his device. This is a good project for a future engineer,” Cunningham said. Students at the Effinger School will study English, math, social studies, science, art, music, physical education and world languages. Those courses are in addition to the independent research project. Cunningham said she is excited about the world languages course, which also will provide insight into other cultures.

“We’re offering a tailor-made educational plan for each child that will be developed between the parents, the teacher and the child,” she said. With five teachers on staff, registration is now under way and, according to Cunningham, “People are very interested in what we’re doing.” The school was named for Cunningham’s father, William Effinger Cunningham, who she said is “an amazing ‘out of the box’ thinker. He can find multiple solutions to complex problems and create new ways of doing things. When we were looking for a good name for the school, which would capture those ideas, we thought about him and decided to name the school after him.” Cunningham’s experience includes serving as a high school principal and she holds a doctorate in education. She said her children are “excited about the opportunity for independent research projects; they’re excited to learn another language. I think they’re very excited to be able to move at a pace that works for them, so if they need extra help, they can slow down; if they understand it, they can continue to move.” “It has been unique to see education from a parent’s point of view,” she added. As they continue to fill teaching positions, Cunningham said they are “looking for people who are very patient, who encourage children to question and think, and who can guide the children to think at upper levels and

produce work, which will demonstrate that the children can think at a higher level.” The Effinger School’s association with the Walnut Grove Baptist Church prompts praise from Cunningham. She said Michele Moore of the Children’s Learning Center had been especially cooperative in the school’s development. “She has been wonderful,” Cunningham said of Moore. Cunningham also thanked the church pastor, the Rev. Drexel Rayford, and trustees Bob Jeter, Charlie Rasnick, Alan Fearnow and Jack Tuck for their help. On the county level, Deborah B. Coats, who represents the Mechanicsville District on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, “helped us make sure we have the proper paperwork,” Cunningham said. An open house for interested parents and children will be held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 1, at the Walnut Grove Baptist Church, 7046 Cold Harbor Road, Mechanicsville. Tuition for the 2010-2011 school year is $350 per month ($4,600 per year), with a $400 acceptance fee upon enrollment.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
Mosque near Ground Zero stirs emotions Last Wednesday, the question, “What do you think about the mosque issue near Ground Zero?, was posted on our Facebook page (www.facebook.com/mechlocal). The response was immediate. At 9:36 a.m., the question went up; at 9:38 a.m., a straight-to-the-point “heck no” (yes, that was paraphrased) was posted. And that was the start of some online dialogue that saw how varied our community’s opinions are about this controversial subject. A common theme saw the stance of Muslims being within their rights, but construction would be in poor taste. One writer said, “I support their constitutional right to do so. To think otherwise would be hypocritical.” Another offered this: “Let me ask this, would you go to their country and ask them if you could build a church near one of their sacred mosques?” “Just because we have the ‘right’ to do so doesn’t mean we should do things . . . and this is a perfect example” was another post. “It’s just plain wrong and very hurtful to all Americans but especially those hurt or had a loved one die during the attack. I think this country has gone crazy!” was yet another statement. There are just a few of the comments we received. To check them out, visit our Facebook page. Next question: What do you think about the proposal?

ran smoothly, but also planned for the future so that the office remained operationally sound. Through prudent planning and always being a good steward of the people’s money, Col. Cook ensured that the agency was ready to meet future challenges. From implementing technology through grant funding and maintaining an excellent staff by remaining competitive in the marketplace, the Sheriff ’s Office has always been at the ready. Even in times of financial want, the colonel has leveraged his resources to ensure that the most basic needs of the community were met first. That diligent planning has also transcended his tenure. The legacy of his career will be the leaders he has developed to ensure the continued success of the Sheriff ’s Office in carrying out its mission for the citizens and businesses of Hanover County. Although Col.Cook’s daily
presence will be missed, his legacy of leadership will live on every day. Col. Cook has my undying appreciation, respect and friendship. With gratitude, Douglas A. Goodman Jr. Chief of Police Ashland Police Department
Parents must set example for kids Twice in the last six months I have been driving slowly through a small shopping strip. On the first occasion a young white lady stepped onto the pavement a good 20 yards ahead. I slowed my car to acknowledge that I had seen her and she was in no danger from my car (5 to 10 mph). As I drove past her, she yelled at me -- words that no young lady (or person) should use. The second time was a similar happening except the person was black and he yelled “Stupid” at me. Had I not acted like
a lady I would have followed actions like that shown on television several times a week. It goes back to marketing when cigarettes were cool and you had top movie stars smoking most of the time. Same thing, offering a drink of alcohol as soon as they walked in the house. Thinking of these examples takes me back to the verbal and emotional abuse I have suffered for a long time. At the time “All in the Family” was considered a very funny program. Now we know better that the husband should have been warned and fined or punished other ways. A kid’s nursery rhyme was “Sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me.” Now the experts know that is not true and it has been proven that verbal and emotional abuse leaves deeper and permanent scars that -- strange as it may seem -cause more damage than hitting or beating. I can vouch from my own life experiences. Now it appalls me how rude
and insensitive people are to one another. They believe they have the right (freedom of speech) to say what they want. My kids wanted to watch “The Simpsons” when the series started because all the kids at school were watching it. I watched a couple of episodes that were full of sarcasm. I knew my kids were too young to understand what sarcasm was and I refused to let them watch the program. Perhaps more parents should watch, read or observe what their children find so interesting in this technology. Dads and moms, watch and learn and know more about your kids instead of watching “a game” or “a soap.” It is your choice how you bring up your kids, but the future of drugs, alcohol, violence and foul language rests in your hands, not the government. You are the parents. You set the example. Your kids will watch and copy you as much as they watch and copy the enter-
tainment they watch. No, I am not a perfect parent nor are my kids perfect kids but we can be willing to learn and change. Joan Austen Mechanicsville
Not all Muslims support hatred I have to admit to having no real concern about the mosque near Ground Zero. I feel a little guilty about that. I know it is wrong to judge a whole group of people as associated with evil and I generally do my best to not make such judgments. I also know I should never wish harm to anyone and that is where I feel a little guilty. You see, I’m sure it is not the intention of every Muslim to associate themselves with the very worst villains of the century. I’m sure that the average Muslim does not want to be the enemy of the United States and
be hated by all of its citizens. So maybe I’m just lazy and inconsiderate of those every day Muslims to not lead a charge on their behalf to stop this Muslim flag being forever posted on the battlefield of Ground Zero. Perhaps I’m just too tired from fighting for liberty of my children and grandchildren to also try to shepherd a whole group of people away from being forever tattooed as hateful radicals hell-bent on the destruction of civilization. Then again, maybe it is not my place, just as I know of no Yankees who stood up against the Ku Klux Klan to stop them from using the battle flag of the Confederacy as a symbol of hate. I could see myself becoming more concerned if I saw someone that can claim this Muslim flag coming forward. If one of these day-to-day Muslims took a page from the Tea Party movement and decided to lead this fight against see LETTERS, pg. 17 `

If you want to remember where you put things, try using audible cues that you listen to while you are asleep. According to recent research, study participants better located 25 objects after sounds related to those objects were played for them as they slept. This study confirms the long-held belief that sleep plays an important role in learning and memory. It is thought that during “deep sleep” (a phase of non-rapid eye movement sleep), the brain recounts events of the previous day, helping to reinforce memory of what happened. Moreover, consolidation of factual memories is said to occur only during “deep sleep,” and consolidation of memories involving emotions and motor skills occurs during REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. As we age, a good night’s sleep is especially important because it improves concentration and memory formation, allows your body to repair any cell damage that occurred during the day, and refreshes your immune system which helps to prevent disease. At HERITAGE GREEN ASSISTED LIVING, we strive to create a comfortable environment for our residents and their families. We provide assisted living as well as a separate memory care unit for those with dementia. For more information, please call 804-746-7370 or visit us at 7080 Brooks Farm Road.

middle school level have provided me with rewarding and enriching experiences that have led me to Lee-Davis.
Message from the Principal Dear Parents/Guardians and Students, It is both an honor and a privilege to become a member of the LeeDavis family. Hanover County Public Schools has a long standing reputation and tradition of excellence and I feel fortunate to be joining a school culture focused on student learning, a commitment to high expectations, innovation and cooperation. It is apparent that Lee-Davis, a National Blue Ribbon School, is a school with a rich history and deep-rooted traditions; the community involvement and school pride are second to none. I am excited to become a part of this community and am committed to immersing myself in the school and the community. My belief that all students deserve a quality education has been the primary focus of my 29 years in education. Serving as a dean of students and assistant principal on the high school level and as a teacher and department chair on the
Good News & Celebrations... Welcome to our new faculty and staff for the 2010-11 school year. As of this date, new staff members are: Carol Moore, Principal; (Mr.) Kelly Guempel, Assistant Principal; Serena Campbell, Senior Teacher; Barbara Cassett, Librarian; Teresa Kidd, Library Office Assistant; Michelle Rittenhouse, Math Coach; Lt. Cmdr. Debra Rogers, NJROTC; Jay BeVille, Lisa Harper, Megan Nolde, Lisa Sullivan, Fine and Performing Arts; Michelle McCloud, Health/PE; Ross Horner, David Smail, Science; Zach Hayden, Kristen Lahocki, Ashley Wall, Special Education; Crystal Lloyd, Social Studies; Allison Fleming, World Languages; and Kathleen Wiesner, Publications. Jessica Vogt is the new Director of School Counseling. Science teacher Stuart Bernstein has brought home a Win a Wireless Lab prize worth approximately $48,000 to benefit the students and faculty at L-DHS. Of more than 7000 applicants nationwide, only three awards were granted, Mr. Bernstein stated, “The lab will give our students more opportunities to complete inquiry-based lessons, problem solve and explore relevant topics in the areas that are critical to 21st-century skills – science, technology, engineering and mathematics.” We applaud his initiative in seeking and winning this award, and look forward to implementing this equipment and technology. Congratulations to DECA sponsors Donna Ellis and Aimee Walters at being honored by the Virginia Blood Services with a feature story in the 2009 Annual Report “Coordinator Story.” Lee-Davis was recognized for the highest number of blood units donated by all area high schools; the DECA organization coordinates four blood drives each year at our school. In addition, the article states that “Pride…is without doubt held by Lee-Davis students, faculty and staff…” and that “social intelligence, leadership development and vocational understanding… are a much deserved
reason for the students and faculty to feel the extremities of pride as they have made VBS and our community very proud.” Senior Dana Griffin spent a week of his summer at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, planning a mission to Mars. As one of 48 students selected for this program, he built, programmed and tested robots, toured NASA labs and facilities, talked with NASA researchers, scientists and astronaut Dr. Roger Crouch, and gained solid workforce experience and college credit. 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. “The curriculum introduced me to and taught me about what NASA scientists do and what space exploration is all about,” he said, according to a press release from NASA. Griffin applied to the academy to challenge himself and because he is interested in engineering.
DECA News… The Lee-Davis DECA officer team is comprised of a group of outstanding marketing students who are responsible for the leadership of the chapter throughout the school year.

Cancer society needs volunteers The American Cancer Society is looking for individuals to join in the support of cancer patients in Hanover. Volunteers are needed for two different programs, Look Good . . . Feel Better and Road to Recovery. Look Good . . .Feel Better is a free, two-hour, hands-on group workshop, conducted by volunteer cosmetologists. It is a skin-care and makeup program that helps women cope with the appearance-related

side effects of cancer treatment and help restore her sense of inner and outer beauty. The American Cancer Society is looking for licensed cosmetologists that are willing to be trained to conduct a session once every couple of months at Memorial Regional Medical Center. The session is usually on a Monday afternoon and would only require about two hours of time. The Cancer Society also needs Road to Recovery driver volunteers. Road to
Recovery is a free program to cancer patients that do not have a source of transportation to their treatment or that can’t afford to get to their treatment. Driver volunteers will need to have an in-state license with a good driving record. They will need to have access to a safe and reliable vehicle and proof of automobile insurance. If you are interested in helping with any of these programs, contact Andrea Fravel, community manager, at 527-3712 or andrea.fravel@cancer.org.

College students spent the summer digging for clues about the past at the historic Hanover Tavern, located on U.S. 301 in Hanover County as part of a course on archaeology taught by R-MC Classics professor Elizabeth Fisher. “I was invited to excavate some small areas in the Tavern yard before the Hanover Tavern Foundation began construction on some new buildings and the addition of a kitchen garden,” Fisher said. “On historic properties such as this, it’s always a good idea to have the areas excavated before any additional

It is a small area, so it is very manageable for a field school class.” David Deal, executive director of the Hanover Tavern Foundation, said, “This was a perfect way for Hanover Tavern and R-MC to partner; the Tavern needed archaeology and Dr. Fisher needed a place for her class to dig. We were quite pleased to have them here and look forward to the continuation in the fall. “ Fisher’s class introduces the science of archaeology and covers the techniques of research design, excavation, analysis and interpretation. Prior to the excavation, the students were assigned extensive readings, essays and discussions about archaeological ethics. The stu-

R-MC Classics Professor Elizabeth Fisher helps students analyze items found during the dig.
Mechanicsville, said “Being a history major made it exciting to learn about the science of history as opposed to reading about it. I learned that history books aren’t always right and that you can learn new things by digging and seeing for yourself, rather than taking another person’s point of view.” Grecia Cosio, also Class of 20 11, a political science and French double major from Stafford, said, “I really loved this experience. I learned that you don’t have to be interested in archaeology to enjoy it. I was surprised that we used skills learned in trigonometry and English classes to mark our locations and log our reports.” Meghan Lech, Class of 2012, a business/economics and accounting double major from Middleboro, Mass., said she signed up for the class because “I enjoy natural science better than chemistry and biology. It’s really cool to try and figure out what happened here before the tavern was built. Just by finding a bottle, you can identify a time period and that helps tell the history of the place.” Fisher said that she and the students were not looking for any artifacts in particular, but see PAST, pg. 19 `

❍ Breedens Road ❍ Buckeye Road ❍ Burnham Davis Road ❍ Corker Road ❍ Darbys Road ❍ Dunn Road ❍ Hanover Quarter Road ❍ Hatch Thompson Road ❍ Kenwood Church Road ❍ Noel Road ❍ North Telegraph Road ❍ Old Country Road ❍ Quaker Church Road ❍ Richards Road ❍ Rosmarin Road ❍ Terry Road
❍ Union Church Road ❍ Verdi Lane ❍ Waldrop Lane The improvements were the result of an innovative approach taken by the Hanover County Board of Supervisors last year. The board assigned staff to administer bidding and construction on the state-maintained roads and classified the gravel road sections as Rural Rustic Roads. The Rural Rustic Road classification does not require improvements to the road alignment or

roadside shoulders and ditches. Because this classification seeks only to preserve the rural character of the road, improvements to Rural Rustic Roads can be made at a fraction of the cost of regular road improvements. The board voted to use about $1.2 million in state funding from completed projects, plus other funds, for improving the rural road sections. Bidding and construction were administered by Hanover County staff to enable the work to proceed on time and within budget.

talents to the Ashland Coffee and Tea as part of the Nashville Songwriters Association International’s Adopt-AChapter program. “I have high hopes that I’ll be able to instill in some of these young fellas and young gals some of the joy I’ve had in writing songs and a new level of commitment,” Leigh said.

Richard Leigh explains his songwriting methods during a visit to Ashland.
ing songs professionally for 35 years, said the years have led to him to some tricks and a method of songwriting that saves writers a lot of time. His workshop was part of a three-day stay at Ashland Coffee and Tea that started with judging the venue’s weekly Songwriter Showdown and concluded with a live performance by the celebrated songRICHARD LEIGH w r i t e r. Showdown contestants made up much of the workshop attendees. “I was surprised at the level of singing and playing,” Leigh said of the contest. He also said he was surprised at the number of people who write songs. Some of Leigh’s tricks of the trade revealed during the workshop include diagrams used to translate ideas from story to lyric form, the importance of
putting oneself in a song and word economy. Those who attended seemed pleased with the presentation. “I thought the way he emphasized getting the story of the song worked out and thinking of the melody independently from the lyrics was really important,” published songwriter Gene Mills of Richmond said. Similarly, Harry Gore, a frequent performer at Ashland Coffee and Tea, clings to Leigh recommendation: “Don’t follow the lyric.” Leigh’s favorite aspect of these workshops is the one-onone consultations. “I had no idea how electrifying it is when the light bulb really comes on for someone when they actually put their partially finished song in front of me and I can spot their problems right away,” he said. In addition to the consultations, the three-time Grammy nominee and member of the Nashville Songwriter’s Hall of Fame also enjoyed the venue. “It’s one of the nicest rooms see GRAMMY, pg. 21 `

Dear Jerry: It is with deep gratitude and appreciation to you and your staff for the wonderful service you provided for our Mom, Barbara Commins. From the time we fi rst met with you until Mom was laid to rest, you were such a comfort. During a time if sadness and adjustment, one can’t focus on the immediate needs but with Monaghan we didn’t have to because you were there every step of the way. Your compassion and many years of experience in this business were a welcomed blessing to us. The visitation and the memorial service were truly as celebration for our Mom and many family and friends expressed this often. I know our Mom would have loved it! Thank you and your staff for all the wonderful work that was done and helping us remember Mom so lovingly. Sincerely, The Commins/Farnsworth Families

Local man found guilty of internet solicitation An elderly Mechanicsville man was convicted on three counts of soliciting sex from a minor on Friday in Louisa County Circuit Court. According to Louisa Commonwealth’s Attorney Tom Garrett, Irvin “Pete” Baldwin, 81, was charged after internet incidents reported on Nov. 23, Nov. 30 and Dec. 4, 2009. During the trial, which got under way on Thursday, Rusty McGuire, deputy commonwealth attorney, argued that the defendant’s graphic sexual conversations, his instructions to the minor to erase the records of their conversations and his appearance in Louisa at his requested meeting time
and locations established his intent. The jury took less than 15 minutes to c onv i c t Baldwin a n d recommended 90 years in prison, 30 on each BALDWIN count, the maximum sentence allowed. “Justice was served today in a Louisa courtroom. Children are safer in the commonwealth today because of the hard work of the Louisa County
Sheriff ’s Office as a member of the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force and Det. Patrick Siewert,” Garrett said. At sentencing, McGuire argued for a substantial sentence due to the defendant’s past history as a pastor, Sunday school teacher, business owner and lack of criminal record. While Baldwin’s attorney argued these were positives, McGuire said “the defendant was living the American Dream and if anybody knew better it was an 81-year-old with his background. Instead he chose to steal the innocence of what he thought was a 13-year-old child.” Baldwin will be sentenced at 9 a.m. on Nov. 15.

BROKE Continued from pg. 1 b
ing, Investigator Matt Ratchford said there were no pry marks. Officers did find prints, which were run through the Automated Fingerprinting Identification System (AFIS). Investigator Kevin LaPlaga is working with Ratchford on the Lockwood Business Center case. Anyone with information pertaining to the burglary is asked to call the Sheriff â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office at 365-6140. The website is www.hanoversheriff.com. With the investigation into the Lockwood incident continuing, Bland offered several prevention tips for residents and businesses. He also explained a security assessment the Crime Prevention unit provides. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to do is not make a home or a business look like a fortress but at the same time weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to fortify or make recommendations on how to fortify your valuables and your property,â&#x20AC;? Bland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of the things that we look at in a security assessment is doorways, because statistics show that more people will break in through a doorway. We recommend that people
have on their doorways at least a one-inch dead bolt lock and that they use a heavy strike plate on the door frame that includes at least a three- to three-and-ahalf-inch long screw.â&#x20AC;? He also said they recommend â&#x20AC;&#x153;a long screw that will reach into the stud in the wall adjacent to the frame so when someone tries to kick the door â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially if they have one in the standard lock plate and they have one in the dead bolt plate. Four heavy screws holding that in place reduce the opportunity for them to gain entry. Hopefully that will cause them enough frustration that they will feel itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to leave instead of making noise or possibly be seen.â&#x20AC;? A solid metal or solid wooden door is recommended by Bland. With that comes the need for â&#x20AC;&#x153;a wide angle peephole so that they can make a decision as to whether or not theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to open the door for someone outside asking to enter.â&#x20AC;? For doors with glass in them or around them, Bland said his unit recommends using a double cylinder key lock instead of a thumb latch lock, â&#x20AC;&#x153;which is very typical.â&#x20AC;? He also said a

key should be placed â&#x20AC;&#x153;at least 40 inches away from the door lock lower to the floor, in case thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fire or another emergency where people have to escape.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;For people that have sliding glass doors,â&#x20AC;? Bland recommended â&#x20AC;&#x153;that they place screws in the tracks. Not to obstruct movement of the door but to obstruct movement from the outside and removing the opportunity to gain entry.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Recess screws in the track groove,â&#x20AC;? he added, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and tighten them down tight enough so the door will continue to move and slide, but wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t lift up.â&#x20AC;? To restrict the door from opening, he said use a piece of wood or a broom handle, â&#x20AC;&#x153;so that a person looking at the location will know that the door has been fortified.â&#x20AC;? Bland said lighting is one of the most economical forms of security for home or business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lighting provides good surveillance of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s property for them to see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on. It also provides good surveillance for neighbors or passersby to see suspicious activity as well. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We recommend timers for lights on the inside that are set to turn on and off during times they would normally be on or off when you are not on
A friendly face and a helpful attitude in your time of need. Louise Dement, Bennettâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s receptionist, greets and answers questions regarding services. The Bennett Funeral Home, now with four locations throughout the Richmond area, continues its tradition of excellence.

the property or at home. Duskto-dawn sensors for lights and motion sensor lights are also recommended for the exterior. They only come on when necessary and aid in detecting suspicious activity as well.â&#x20AC;? Bushes are another issue. Bland said they should â&#x20AC;&#x153;be kept no higher than 24 inches in height and trimmed away from the building to reduce hiding places and increase surveillance.â&#x20AC;? Tree canopies should be kept no less than five to six feet â&#x20AC;&#x153;so people can see into a business and people from the business can see out.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You want your privacy, but you want it to be fortified,â&#x20AC;? Schneider said. Wooden frame windows should â&#x20AC;&#x153;be drilled and penned, which is drilling a hole between where the two windows come together in the center in the side of the glass.â&#x20AC;? He urged â&#x20AC;&#x153;drilling at a downward angle and putting a nail in the hole, not a screw, in order to keep that window from being lifted. If there is an emergency that you have to escape you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about finding a screw driver â&#x20AC;&#x201D; you can just pull the nail out.â&#x20AC;? Identification also is a key

Bland said businesses and homes should “make sure that they identify all of their property.” Operation Identification through the Sheriff ’s Office helps in marking or engraving valuables. Engravers are available, as well as permanent invisible ink markers. Participating in a Neighborhood Watch organization is encouraged. “Statistics show that communities with Neighborhood Watch are less likely to have as much criminal activity and we have better prosecution. People are willing to stand up and do what we ask of a Neighborhood Watch, which is report suspicious or unusual activity and not to be a vigilante but eyes and ears for law enforcement. They know

what belongs and what doesn’t belong (in a community).” “Lock your vehicles and lock your garages and storage sheds when they’re not in use,” Bland said. Based on reports the Sheriff ’s Office has taken, 85 percent of the larceny from vehicles are from those that are left unlocked. Residents who are not going to be home for more than a day are urged to inform a neighbor or the Sheriff ’s Office “so that their house can be watched.” Deputies will place the address on house watch to check during patrols. “If they find anything that looks out of place, they will notify the resident or whoever is designated to find out if in fact there is something wrong,” Bland said. Security assessments are offered free of charge “to allow people to know what they should be doing to improve
safety and security in their surroundings.” More than 400 businesses, particularly banking and retail, take part in the Business Watch program. “ W e communicate current crime information and crime trends to SCHNEIDER them to let them know to be prepared,” Bland said. “We offer safety and security programs for businesses and residents upon request.” “What we’re looking for is other eyes and ears that are able to see things out in the community because we can’t be at all the places at the same time,” Schneider said of the business/ residential programs.
“The Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office Foundation has provided an avenue for business and community leaders to support the members of the Sheriff ’s Office and their families, and an opportunity to express our appreciation for the dedicated service they provide to the safety and well-being of the citizens of Hanover County,” John Cox, president of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office Foundation and 55th District delegate, said.
Effinger School sets Open House The Effinger School for Academically Talented Children has extended an invitation to all interested parents and children to its Open House, which will be held from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 1, at the Walnut Grove Baptist Church at 7046 Cold Harbor Road in Mechanicsville. The Effinger School is a private K-5 school for children who are academically tal-
ented, academically advanced, and/or gifted. Highlights of the school include a rigorous academic curriculum developed by William and Mary’s Center for Gifted Education, online world languages, independent research projects, and a tailored educational plan for each child.

accounts. Agendas ($4) for students in grades two through five will be on sale. The 2010-2011 Yearbook will also be on sale for $18. The PTA will be enrolling members ($5 per person) and selling student spirit wear at Open House. PTA members also will be available to help you sign up online with various businesses
(such as Food Lion and Kroger) that support KCES by donating a portion of sales to the school’s PTA. For those who are unable to attend the Open House, classroom teachers will personally contact them before the first day of school, Tuesday, Sept. 7. On Sept. 7, staff members also will be available to distribute classroom assignments to parents and students, as well
as give directions to the classrooms. “The administration and staff are busily preparing for students and their families,” principal Deborah Waters said. “We are very excited about the opportunities that await us as we continue to be Caring Comets.” For more information, contact Waters at 723-3440 or a dwaters@hcps.us.
Bland agreed: “We depend heavily on good relationships with the citizens and business community, because it fosters open communication and valuable information – even small amounts.” “What seems insignificant to them may be the piece we’re looking for to solve a crime,” Schneider said. “We’ve got the whole picture and that may be the one little piece that allows us to say this all makes sense now.” In saying the Sheriff ’s Office welcomes the calls, Schneider said, “Nothing is too trivial.” The non-emergency number is 365-6140, but, Bland said, “If it is something that needs to be reported and you can’t remember the non-emergency number, use 911 – it won’t prevent another person from being able to use 911. We have more 911 lines and every call will be answered.”

Field Hockey Preview
This season should be Hawks time to soar By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com After years of acting as a bystander, watching Atlee and Lee-Davis battle it out for the Capital District field hockey title, the Hanover Hawks should come into their own this season. In their fourth year of existence, the Hawks will make the transition from a perennial team in the chase to league favorite. One factor leading to the change at the top is both Raiders and Confederates suffered greatly from a loss of players to graduation. Meanwhile Hanover returns a majority of its lineup at a time when player turnout has created substantial depth. As such, one of the greatest adjustments for the Hawks this season may be adapting to the change in mentality going from alsoran to a team with a target on their backs. But head coach Sarah Bottorff believes they are up to the task. “I think they know that that’s the expectation and that’s obviously my expectation too,” Bottorff said. “So, we’re going to play that way. We’re going to play hard. We’re going to be competitive.” Hanover also has motivation after the last two years have seen them fall one goal
38
shy of reaching the district final. “I think they don’t want that to happen anymore,” Bottorff said of her team that has three to four years of varsity experience. “This is something they’ve been dedicated to since they were freshmen.” As for Atlee, head coach Alyssa Farling likes the fact that her team will be considered an underdog this season. “I don’t mind that position,” she said after her team started last season 9-0. “That’s a little stressful t o be in that position.” Like Atlee, Lee-Davis lost a majority of their starting lineup

to graduation, which has left first year head coach Peggy Matthews unsure how good her squad will be heading into the season. “It’s going to be a brand new team so it’s going to be difficult to say how we fare against our rivalries with Hanover and Atlee,” she said. Henrico should remain among the top four in the district but league newcomer Glen Allen is dark horse because it comes into the district as a complete unknown. “I’m interested to see what they’re going to do,” Bottorff said. “They’re drawing from Hermitage (and) all the Henrico schools that have had powerhouse teams.” Even though the Hawks are the favorites heading into the season, Bottorff knows that taking the championship will not be a cakewalk. “I’d like to say that we’re going to win the district,” she said. “But if we don’t go out and we don’t play our game, don’t play hard, then that’s not going to happen.” ATLEE The Raiders (15-3-1 in 2009) lost nine seniors from a squad that became the first in school history to go undefeated in the Capital

District regular season. The Raiders won the regular season championship but fell to LeeDavis in the district tournament final. Along with those nine seniors went most of Atlee’s offensive fire power. But when it comes to an unbalanced loss, head coach Alyssa Farling is glad it’s on the offensive side of the ball rather than defense. “I think I can teach them how to score,” she said of her incoming players. “That’s easier
to coach honestly. If you have weakness on defense then you’re having corners against you constantly. I think that’s probably more challenging.” Though they may struggle on offense early, the Raiders will benefit from a strong returning midfield to solidify their defense. Seniors Sonja Anderson and Shannon Fulk will return to the center and left midfield slots while sophomore Jessica Fairly will take over on
the right after starting on the JV squad last year. Meanwhile senior Becca Alston will take over the back slot formerly occupied by longtime All-District player Zoe Atholz. To add to the defense, senior Annie Lassiter returns to the goal after a phenomenal junior season. “She had a 97 percent save percentage last year,” Farling said. “She’s been training over the winter so she’s excited.” When it comes to offense, Atlee returns junior standout Emily Dietrick. “She was only a sophomore last year on varsity and was one of my top scorers,” Farling said. “So that’s good.” While a lack of offense may hinder the Raiders early, strong defense will keep them in games. But the most important key to the season for Farling is getting her team to start games quickly. “We need to be awake at the start,” she said. “That’s our biggest issue, is having them ready from the first whistle. If we start on a roll and start scoring right away I think we can keep that momentum.” HANOVER The Hawks (6-7-1 in 2009) hold a huge advantage over the other local teams by not only returning a majority of their starters from last season but their losses were evenly spread across the field.

Chase locked but not loaded coming to RIR By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Last week, Richmond International Raceway continued a tradition started the year before by posting numbers of all the NASCAR drivers that are locked into the Sprint Cup Chase. But as RIR track president Doug Fritz stepped up to the turn #1 wall he found little to do. “I tell you what, there’s only two more races until Richmond International Raceway and the “Last Chance to Make the Chase” and we’ve only got one driver locked in,” he said. With two races remaining before the Air Guard 400 at RIR on September 11, the #29 of Kevin Harvick was the only number for Fritz to attach to the wall, which would indicate an exciting stretch run through Richmond. “It’s going to be interesting to see which 12 make it, what 12 don’t make it and to see where they all shake out,” Fritz said. “Other than Kevin Harvick, who knows what can shake out with the other drivers.” It appeared that perhaps a few more numbers would be pasted on the wall this week, but a topsy-turvy weekend at Bristol threw a real wrench in the standings where only Jeff Gordon attained ‘locked-in’ status. Kyle Busch entered the Bristol race just inside the bubble but his victory shot him five slots up the board to third in points, a spot previous occupied by Joe Gibbs Racing teammate Denny Hamlin, who fell to fifth because of a broken drive shaft. Likewise, four-time defending champion Jimmie Johnson plummeted to ninth in the point standings after a wreck ruined his night. “Obviously, Bristol anything can happen and usually does,” Fritz said. “I tell you one thing. Coming out of Bristol the intensity level, the emotional level and
the drivers hating other drivers, it’s definitely going to happen from there.” A second place finish by Jamie McMurray propelled him up the point standings to 13th, 100 points behind Clint Bowyer and one point ahead of Mark Martin. But if there is one driver who could finish the season satisfied at missing the Chase it would have be McMurray. Unprecedented wins in both the Daytona 500 and Brickyard 400, combined with Ganassi teammate Dario Franchitti’s victory in the Indy 500 have already made McMurray’s year memorable. “To win both of those in the same year and have Chip (Ganassi) win all three of those races, it’s been really good,” McMurray said during a promotional stop at G-Force Karts in Henrico last week. Likewise, McMurray played down the significance of making the Chase. “The media really makes more out of the Chase,” he said. “I mean all of the drivers want to be involved, but in my opinion if they gave a driver the choice of finishing 10th in points or winning a race, they would take wining the races because that’s what we do every weekend. The points are about being consistent week-in and week-out. Everybody wants to be in the
Chase but winning races is what our sport’s all about.” But with all that said, and now within range of making the Chase, Richmond becomes a very important race for McMurray. “If you’re one of the guys that are in range where you can fall out or get in the Chase, yeah, this might be your biggest race of the year because if you haven’t won a race up until that point, making the Chase is what it’s all about,” he said. “There’s a lot of pressure that’s on the guys that are trying to make it into the Chase. “I’ve been that guy in that position before where you’re right on the edge, either you’re in or you’re right outside looking in,” McMurray said. “It can be a long, stressful night at Richmond for sure.” Fritz agreed. “It’s real intensity,” he said. “You’ll feel it the minute you walk into the garage here at Richmond International Raceway. “The intensity level is like walking into the garage at the Daytona 500. There’s a different feel to it. It’s the last race to make the Chase. It’s like anyone else it’s the last chance to make the playoffs and in professional sports, as you know, making the playoffs seems to make or break a season.”

McMurray karts it up in Richmond This year NASCAR driver Jamie McMurray has had two of the year’s biggest wins on the circuit’s biggest tracks at Daytona and Indianapolis. But McMurray found himself in the hunt at one of the smallest tracks this past weekend by claiming second at Bristol. Perhaps he can attribute his success to getting some small track practice in Richmond a few days prior to Bristol. Last Wednesday, McMurray spent the afternoon racing media and fans at G-Force
Karts in Henrico. But for McMurray, kart racing is not a return to his youth. “I still go race karts,” he said. “Pretty much every off weekend I have I go race go-karts somewhere in the United States. “I still love karting and I’m very passionate about it,” McMurray said. “For me, karting is just the ultimate way to get started. Everybody asks me, ‘How do I get my kid involved in racing?’ and there’s no better way to do that than in a go-kart.”

Boys Volleyball Preview
Raiders reload while other teams rebuild By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local ATLEE With relatively little turnover, Atlee expects to once again be among the top Capital District boys volleyball championship contenders this year, but the Raiders can expect strong challenges from its neighboring teams, Hanover and Lee-Davis. Atlee claimed the district tournament title last year and finished with an 18-5 record. The Raiders graduated five seniors from last year’s squad, but only three—Jonathan Sperlazza, Justin Crain, and Jordan Stringfellow—were starters. Of that group, only Sperlazza left a void that has been difficult to fill. “Losing Jonathan hurt a lot,” said first year Atlee coach Nick Robinson. “His serve receiving was really beneficial to the team. … We could run a faster offense because of that. “We’re definitely stronger in the other two positions that we lost. Jordan was a right side hitter and Justin was a setter. The people we have in those two positions have really stepped it up this year.” One of those people is Robert Chilcoat. “Chilcoat is an outside hitter with a lot of club experience,” Robinson said. “He has a lot of varsity experience. He’s a really good player—he can jump through the ceiling.” Three other Raiders worth
40
watching are Kody Tingler, a middle blocker who Robinson said “can crush the ball,” rightside hitter Kyle Rodgers, and libero Andrew Stanford. One of Rodgers’ best attributes is size. “He’s 6-7,” Robinson said. “He’s been playing well in the preseason. We hope we can continue that through the season. He’s a big block.” Robinson hopes Stanford will do a good job on both offense and defense. “We’re counting on him to make some good passes this season,” said Robinson. “We’re looking for Andrew to be a solid defensive player allaround this year.”
because of his play, but more because of something less tangible. “It’s a defensive specialist position,” said Hanover coach Mike Rohr. “He gave us a lot of leadership on the floor—a lot of energy—and he was fairly talented at his position.” Rohr said Allen and Locks are stepping up in the leadership department, and a number of team members are fighting for the libero position. He has a lot of players to choose from. “We have 14 on our roster,” Rohr said. “I think all of them are
capable of contributing something at some point of the year. ... We don’t have a ton of standout players, but we’re going to be pretty solid up and down.” In order to challenge Atlee and last year’s regular season champion Highland Springs, the Hawks will have to improve their ability to handle pressure, among other things. “We’re going to have to play well as a team in tough situations, which we didn’t do last year,” Rohr said. “We’re going to have to serve the ball very well. We’re going to have to play solid defensively.” LEE-DAVIS
The Confederates are in major rebuilding mode after losing five starters to graduation. Their biggest challenge is in replacing second team all-district middle hitter Justin Naumann. Among other gaps is Mikey Hutchkiss’ place among the setter rotation. First year Lee-Davis coach Sally Smith expects Michael Abbott to play an important leadership role. She also expects much from Colton Powell, Hank Parsley, Joe Spengler and Ben Turner. “Michael is going to be a setter and strong hitter for us,” Smith said. “He’s had some experience in summer leagues
and stuff, so he knows the game pretty well. Colton and Hank are going to be middle hitters. Joe and Ben will be used as outside hitters and defensive players.” The Confederates biggest challenges are in the elevation and communication departments. “Our height is not that strong,” Smith said. “We have a few tall people, but we’ll be working on our defensive skills mostly to help counter our height deficit. We’ve got to work on our communication skills to get to know one another as players. We have see BOYS, pg. 41 `

Girls Volleyball Preview
Raiders look to reamin on top of district By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local Despite some turnover from last year, both Atlee’s and Hanover’s girls volleyball teams look to be top contenders in Capital District competition this fall. They hope so, at least. But they won’t get there without a fight from the other Mechanicsville-based team, Lee-Davis. The Raiders defeated Hanover in the Capital District championship game last year, but both teams were knocked
out in the quarterfinals of the Central Region tournament. Atlee finished with an 18-5 record, while Hanover finished with a 13-10 mark. Patrick Henry sports a new head coach, Wallace Farmer, who hopes to wield some influence in the Colonial District despite the presence of powerhouses like Mills Godwin and Deep Run.

senior Abby Bellows who transferred from Pennsylvania last year. “She’s going to be a starter,” the coach said. “She’s done real well for us. She’s been a really good addition to the team.” Bottorff also expects good things from senior forward Kristin Walls, who improved her game with work over the summer. But what the coach likes more than the experience is the amount of depth on the Hawks’ squad. This year Hanover had 47 girls turn out for the field hockey program. And that increased interest should pay off this year. “I think we’re to the point where we’re

meant merely filling a slot at forward, a link and two backs. Seniors Nicole Shelton (mid) and Maria Piccolomini (forward) have been with Bottorff from the start of the program four years ago so they are well versed in the Hawks’ game plan. Also returning to the starting lineup are senior back Madelyn Clark and senior keeper Leeane Kesler. Junior forward Taylor Culley also returns to the starting lineup. Among newcomers, Bottorff anticipates a good year from
ter/middle blocker Rachel Winfrey—from last year’s squad. However, Raider coach Curtis Carpenter expects few adverse effects from their graduation. “Last year to me was a growing year,” said Carpenter, who is now in his 11th year at Atlee’s helm. “The seniors were contributors, but how much they are going to impact this team when them departed? Right now, I think the impact ATLEE Atlee lost three seniors— is going to be minimal. I’ve two of them starters, setter got some young kids that are Katie Norris and outside hit- very gung-ho, very enthusiasstrong in every position, which is something we haven’t had before,” she said. “Now we have substitutes if we have injuries.” One area that Bottorff hopes her teams shows improvement this season is converting on scoring opportunities. “We’d get the ball in the circle, work it up there and it would be beautiful and then nothing,” she said. “So we’ve really worked on that.” With high expectations and a large number of returnees, Bottorff said it will be key that her team plays hard every minute of every game. LEE-DAVIS The Confederates (13-6 in 2009) were decimated by gradu-
tic. They’re good athletes and competitors.” Part of his confidence in the Raiders stems from the fact that his squad is already quite experienced. “This group of girls, most of them played USA volleyball— travel volleyball. I saw most of them through the season. They all told me back in June how excited they were to get back to the high school season” In particular, he is looking File photo by Charlie Leffler/The Local to his seniors—middle blocker In his 11th year at Atlee, Coach Curtis Carpenter, center, could Courtney Booth, outside field one of his strongest teams. see GIRLS, pg. 44 `
ation last year, losing 11 seniors. A total of four players return that started last season on varsity. But one advantage for first year Lee-Davis head coach Peggy Mathews comes from the fact that she worked with many of the newcomers as the former head coach of the JV squad. “We’re pretty young but with a lot of promise,” Mathews said. “We have a lot of young athletes that are going to learn the game and might have a few surprises.” Unlike Atlee, who will fill out their roster with senior returnees, Lee-Davis will field a squad with one senior and a majority of sophomores and
Mechanicsville falls to 2-3 in Junior World Series BOYS Staff reports
Slow starts and a tough schedule limited the Mechanicsville National baseball team to a 2-3 record in the Junior League World Series last week in Taylor, Michigan. After sitting out the opening day of the tournament with a bye, Mechanicsville battled back to a come-from-behind victory over East Region champion New Jersey 4-2. But the Nationals could
not keep up with a Southwest Region Texas team fresh off a bye, falling 7-2. On Wednesday, Mechanicsville fell to Central champion Indiana 7-4. In their final game of pool play, the Nationals once again faced a team fresh off a bye. Against California, Mechanicsville jumped out to an early 8-3 lead only to watch the West region champion chip away and pull out a 12-9 win. In International play, the
Nationals defeated Ukraine 121. Both Texas and California advanced to the United States championship game with Texas taking the win 8-2. In the World Series Championship game, Texas faced off against an incredibly strong Asia-Pacific team from Taipei, China which took the trophy 9-1. China finished the tournament undefeated, outscoring their opponents 57-11 in six games.

to learn to work together as a team.” Despite the turnover and challenges, she is looking forward to the season. “I think this season should be fun,” Smith said. “It’s a big transition—we have a lot of new players on the team. But we should be able to run new plays if we get those communication skills going.” PATRICK HENRY
freshmen. Forward Kristen Napier is the lone returning senior on this year’s team. Juniors Chrissie Norman and Kirbey Hartley will occupy the back and mid. But Mathews also has the services of two outstanding sophomores who were called up from the JV squad last year. Though only in their second year of high school, Mathews believes that Amy Wingfield and Savannah Dotson will lead the team this season, in fact, Wingfield has been designated a team captain along with Hartley and Napier. In goal, junior Miriam Minich and freshman Kali
Wilson will share duties, both coming up from JV last year. For Matthews, the key to the Confederates’ season will be scoring goals and keeping the defense strong and healthy. PATRICK HENRY The Patriots plan to shoot for the upper half of the Colonial District by returning seven starters from last year’s squad that went 6-11. Head Coach Patti-Ann Beach said that senior keeper Georgia Osbourne will be battling for playing time with sophomore Madi Maino who played for Futures and Stony Creek over the Spring.
Patrick Henry also fields a new coach, Rick Burch, and despite the youth all of his starters are returning. Burch is looking to a sophomore, outside hitter Scott Bringham, to provide necessary leadership. “He brings the most experience to the team, even though he’s the youngest,” Burch said. “He has the most volleyball experience out of everybody.” Burch also looks to senior middle hitter Zach Bailey to be dominant in the middle—to block, hit, and just control the
ball in the middle. Nevertheless, the Patriots face tough challenges in the Colonial District, such as the two teams that traded state championships and runner-up trophies the past two years; Mills Godwin, 2009 champion and 2008 runner up, and Deep Run, 2009 state runner up and 2008 champion. “The biggest thing we look for in facing those teams is just play your best,” Burch said. “When you play a team that is that fundamentally sound, you have to do your best.”

hitter Erin Eberle, outside hitter Jordyn Richardson and outside hitter/defensive specialist Morgan Shute —for leadership. “This is a group that is definitely stepping up,” Carpenter said. “I’ve been proud of my seniors. It’s easy for seniors to roll over and kind of coast, but they’re really working hard.” HANOVER Hanover’s Karl Lippa lost two starting seniors, middle hitter Ryane Majewski and libero Lindsay Smith, as well as a promising underclassman, outside hitter Madison Pachner, who moved to Maryland. The graduation of Capital District Player of the year Majewski—who also earned first team all-region and honorable mention all-state honors—leaves a huge void on the court. “Ryane was a big part of offense,” Lippa said. “She was our main on-court offensive leader by far, but she had great passing as well.” He has candidates to help fill the gap. Majewski’s sister Logan, a middle hitter, for one. “Ryane and her sister Logan were my two main offensive weapons,” Lippa said. “I’ve got Logan coming back. She was first team all district last year, and she’s going to be just as solid.” He expects others to step up, though. “I’ve got two seniors, Ashley Boyd and Morgan Lavender. Those two were
42
outside hitters last year, but Ashley is probably going to play inside this year to fill Ryane’s spot,” Lippa said. “We’re going to have to be extremely good with our passing and our serving” LEE-DAVIS The Confederates, who finished 11-10 (8-4 in district) in 2009, have to cope with the loss of six seniors from last year’s squad. The departed include libero Jessie Cappello and middle blocker Jamie Bombardier, who were first team all-district and honorable mention allregion selections. The C-feds also lost starting setters, Rachel Massei and Rachel Grimesey. Therefore, a lot of the pressure will fall on senior Allie Labons, who was second team all-district last year. “She is gong to play a lot of leadership roles,” said LeeDavis coach Crystal Taylor. “She’ll be on the court at all times. We’re looking

for her to lead everybody and take care of things from a team captain perspective.” Others will likewise have to step up if the Confederates are going to give the Raiders and the Hawks a good fight. Taylor is looking to sophomore, Christina Penzer, to become their go-to offensive player. Lindsey Neal has one of the biggest challenges of all, replacing Cappello as libero. “With Jessie leaving she’s got some big shoes to fill,” Taylor said.
Taylor thinks Atlee will be the team to beat. “I think Atlee’s pretty strong this year,” Taylor said. “They have a lot returning because they had a lot of young players.” She’s not inclined to write off Hanover and Lee-Davis, however. The key for the Confederates is improvement. She said their goal is “to get progressively better. Every year we take a step further and improving in the rankings.” Despite the Confederates’ youth, they aren’t exactly green. “Even though we’re a young team, we have some experience in
club ball that is to our benefit,” Taylor said. “We just have to play smart volleyball, to make good decisions—both players and coaches.” PATRICK HENRY The Patriots lost three starters, including Caitlyn Brown, who was one of the hit leaders in the Colonial District. coach Billy Farmer expects good play and leadership from Rachel Hoar. “She’s setter this year,” Farmer said. “She plays soccer for me too. She’s really quick and athletic.” Hoar moves into the position formerly held by Dani Washington, but Washington is only being moved to the side, not the sidelines. “She played setter last year,” said Farmer. “I moved her to right side hitter. She was hitting real well early in the season. That’s why we made the move.”

Junior Sarah Walker returns to the midfield while senior Jocelyn Terry is back as a sweeper. Promise Maino will work the forward line. Beach believes sophomore Schyler Neale will be a welcome addition to this year’s team. “She’s big into lacrosse, she’s quite the avid runner and she’s picked up the field hockey game nicely,” Beach said. “I’m looking for some great things from her.” Junior Sarah Logan also transferred in from Henrico. “She’s got great presence on the field, anticipation and a good vision of the game,” Beach said. Beach feels that the key to the Patriots’ season will be scoring in the circle. “We had trouble getting shots off and finding corners of the goal versus shooting right at the goalie,” she said.
