Neighboring Caroline County, Chesterfield County, Goochland County, King William County, King and Queen County, New Kent County, Powhatan County, Richmond and West Point also were accredited. In middle and high schools, a pass rate of at least 70 percent in all four subject areas is required for full accreditation. In elementary schools, a combined pass rate of at

least 75 percent on English tests in grades 3 through 5 is required for full accreditation. Elementary schools also must achieve pass rates of at least 70 percent in mathematics, fifth grade science and fifth grade history, and pass rates of at least 50 percent in third grade science and history.

provide water to all customers in the region and meet the requirements of the James River Regional Flow Management Plan. If significant rainfall eliminates the current low water levels, these voluntary water conservation measures will be lifted. “By reducing water use, Hanover residents will reduce the stress on one of our most important natural resources and assist the region in meeting the water needs of all customers,” Frank W. Harksen Jr., director of the Hanover County Department of Public Utilities said. Although these voluntary conservation measures are for customers of the public water system, he also said residents who have individual wells should use their water wisely because ground water levels are low as well.

A comprehensive list of voluntary water use measures, with category and conservation measure, follows: ✓ Established Landscape and Gardens – Monday, no watering; odd property addresses water Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday; even property addresses water Wednesday, Friday and Sunday; (odd/even designation is determined by last digit of address number); bucket watering (fivegallon maximum permitted anytime). ✓ New Landscape – Unrestricted for first 10 days after planting, then limited to the “Established Landscape and Gardens” measure. ✓ Vegetable Gardens – Limited to any two days per week and between 8 p.m. and 10 a.m. on any day. Bucket watering is unrestricted. ✓ Paved Areas Washing (Streets, Drives, Patios, Walks, etc.) – Limited to two days per week. Unrestricted for immediate

health and safety concerns. ✓ Vehicle Washing (Commercial Businesses Exempt) – Limited to two days per week using a hand-held hose with an automatic shut-off nozzle. ✓ Golf Courses (Greens Exempt) – Limited to 8 p.m. through 10 a.m. on any day. ✓ Swimming Pools – Limited to filling required to maintain health and safety. ✓ Fountains – Limited to any two days per week and between 8 p.m. and 10 a.m. on any day. ✓ Businesses – Limited to essential uses. ✓ Restaurants – No restrictions. ✓ All Other Consumption Uses – Encourage conservation by any means.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

Strong chamber keeps businesses thriving Based on the crowd and the enthusiasm at last Wednesday’s dinner meeting of the Hanover Association of Businesses and Chamber of Commerce, the business community is alive and well in Hanover County. The annual event, held at Islamorada in Bass Pro Shops, provided an opportunity for the outgoing and incoming presidents to talk about the organization’s direction. It is, without a doubt, on the right path. Timothy Boschen, in leaving the office of president, shared with the audience the successes of the past year, including launching a new roller coaster at Kings Dominion and supporting Richmond’s Flying Squirrels baseball team. These positives took place as the nation works to survive in trying times. HABCC exceeded its membership goal, bringing in 27 new members when the target had been 25. As Heather Shurm assumes the presidency, she will follow Boschen in promoting joint projects Business First and Buy Local Shop Local with Hanover County Economic Development. She too will focus on expanding membership. High on her list is increasing HABCC’s influence on economic development in the county, in addition to supporting all businesses. The HABCC’s presence at meetings of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors and Ashland Town Council are included on her agenda. She said breakfast seminars, which have proven successful, will continue, as well as the Business After Hours networking events. Before the evening came to a close, Jennifer Y. Scott, HABCC executive director, presented Col. V. Stuart Cook with a plaque in honor of his 20 years of service as sheriff of Hanover County. “I have truly been blessed,” Cook, who has retired, said. He also extended “special thanks” to his wife Barbara and their family. Cook said the Sheriff ’s Office had an “outstanding” partnership with HABCC and all the businesses in Hanover County. With a standing ovation paying tribute to him, Cook assured the group: “I will always be here for you.” Melody Kinser

Pizza delivery driver pulls out handgun, shoots suspect in face during crime The attempted robbery of a pizza delivery driver Sunday night has three adults and a juvenile facing charges in Hanover County. Their attempt, however, left one suspect with injuries after the victim shot him in the face. According to Capt. Michael J. Trice of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office, Brandon D. Floyd, 26, of the 7200 block of

Cold Harbor Road, was transported to VCU Health System for treatment of his injuries. Brandon had approached the victim with what appeared to be a rifle. It was later determined to be a BB gun. The victim pleaded with Floyd to stop, then produced a handgun from inside the vehicle and fired one round in the direction of the suspect, striking him in the face.

Mr. Roberson? It is impossible. I for one would like to see his job description that warrants his salary’ I would love to teach two years and above to learn to read but when they are slow they are left behind, never able to catch up, get a decent job, or just have the thrill of getting lost in a good book. But I am too old to do the courses but I taught my kids to read long before kindergarten. Can’t Hanover provide a free class from 4 to 5 p.m. so that parents don’t need money to help their child? Some parents help their child become “A” students, some houses don’t even have a book in the house (this was told to me by a teacher). And, if the parents can’t read, how can they help their children? Yet what modern up-to-date changes has Superintendent Roberson made. All I see are him doing is handing certificates, etc. What does he actually do? Joan Austen Mechanicsville

The Mechanicsville Local

September 22, 2010

This is in response to Gary Allen’s letter in the Sept. 8, 2010, edition of The Local. Did you type that all in yourself? Or did you cut and paste? Either way, it speaks volumes that you let someone else’s words do all of your work for you. But then, most Beckophiles have to let others do their thinking for them — thinking for themselves is terrifying.

The incident took place around 10:30 p.m. after the victim completed a delivery in the 8000 block of Possum Trail in Mechanicsville. Trice said investigators have determined that the driver was followed from his place of business to the point of the attempted robbery. Also charged in this incident were Adrian R. Seay, of the 7000 block of Drinkard

The pabulum you regurgitated can be simplified down to two things: You hate paying taxes and you hate others that don’t share your religious views. It’s easy (and lazy) to just slap the label “socialist” on anyone who espouses valid reasons for the former or disagrees on the latter. But doing all that hating puts you at direct odds with the Constitution you claim to love. As for the first hatred: Our founding fathers understood that there are jobs which are too big for individuals, and which private business cannot or will not do economically and/or ethically; such jobs are the domain of the government. This is why they so broadly declared the purpose of government in three critical clauses in the Preamble: “establish justice”, “insure domestic tranquility”, and “promote the general welfare”. Conservatives prefer to forget these and remember only the “provide for the common defense” and “secure the blessings of liberty” clauses, but, sorry, you don’t get to cherry-pick the Constitution. It is the place of our government to see after its people, including to help provide for them in old age and/or infirmity; things like Medicare, Social Security and, yes, healthcare regulation are completely within the rights and duties of the government. The Constitution also provides for taxation in order for the government to be able to do its jobs — the original “redistribution of wealth”. So, to the extent that what you hate is “socialist”, so is the document that all of this is founded on. Mr. Allen, I don’t know you, but I’m quite willing to bet some money that, in your heart of hearts, the only wealth for which you really care about being redistributed is your own. It is that selfishness and

Way in Mechanicsville, and Mark W. Long, 25, and a 17 year-old female, both of the 4300 block of Rockhill Road in Mechanicsville. On Monday, Long and Seay were incarcerated in Pamunkey Regional Jail. The juvenile was being detained in a juvenile facility. Floyd was scheduled to be taken into custody when he is released from the hospital.

conceit which is central to the conservative mindset — and which is directly at odds with the religious teachings you supposedly believe in. Which leads us to that second hatred: I understand that you prefer to forget about the separation clause of the 1st Amendment, but it does exist, and the writings and actions of the founding fathers make it abundantly clear to anyone with open eyes that both religious pluralism and the complete separation of the state from any religion were their goals. You and those that share your views of religion and the government remind me of a child, holding your hands over ears and screaming at the top of your lungs so you won’t have to hear the truth! But the fact remains that this was founded a secular nation, and such it will remain. And since you like quotes so much, here’s one for you to think about, from noted author Sam Harris: “Tell a devout Christian that his wife is cheating on him, or that frozen yogurt can make a man invisible, and he’s likely to require as much evidence as anyone else, and to be persuaded only to the extent that you provide that evidence. Tell him that the book he keeps by his bed was written by an invisible superman who will punish him with fire for eternity if he fails to accept its every incredible claim about the universe, and he seems to require absolutely no proof at all. No one in our culture is ever faulted for not “respecting” someone else’s beliefs about mathematics or history; when someone makes outlandish claims, without a shred of evidence, we stop listening to them . . . except on matters of religious faith.

St. Paul Lutheran ready for move into new location By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com The sounds filtering in are sweet to the Rev. Rodney Bitely, as construction continues on the new St. Paul Lutheran Church at 8100 Shady Grove Road. To reach this point has been a joyful journey to the minister and his congregation. Rev. Bitely arrived at St. Paul, his first church, in July 1999. At that time, the church was located on Oakleys Lane in Sandston. “When I got to St. Paul’s, it was a small church,” he said. “They were about to celebrate their 40th anniversary.” The church, he said, had experienced “a difficult period,” with a longtime pastor retiring and another losing his life in an automobile accident. For a long term, they didn’t have a pastor. “It was a tragic time.” His arrival prompted the congregation to consider changing demographics. The church had been in Sandston, but, according to Rev. Bitely, “hadn’t reached the community real well. The question was: What are we going to do?” Among the questions being considered were: Do we want to relocate? Do we want to add on to the buildings? That was when the decision – by a two-thirds vote — was made to relocate. “We decided we want to be someplace growing, a residential area.” The demographics of Sandston, he said, were “shrinking in terms of residential population,” while “growing industrially and commercially.” Members agreed to move their church to Mechanicsville, he added,

The Rev. Ronald Bitely stands in front of the soon-to-open St. Paul Lutheran Church at 8100 Shady Grove Road in Mechanicsville. For five years, his congregation has been meeting at Bennett Funeral Home.

“to bring the love of Christ to the community and be able to take advantage of the new people who are coming in, as well as those who already live here.” He said they have not regretted coming to Mechanicsville “for one minute.” While they searched for property, Rev. Bitely said “One day the phone rang, a person said ‘I have a piece of property that I would really like to see

a church built on.’ One thing led to another. We were able to work it out. This was a much better location than most we were looking at.” In addition to the land, a house – which serves as the church office — stands on the site. St. Paul’s new location has a swimming pool. “We’ve used it for the last four or five years now,” Rev. Bitely said. Dinners and other social functions for

the church are held at the house. “It’s worked out real well. We don’t use this for a worship facility, but we use it for everything else.” A large room at the front, with a sprawling view of Shady Grove Road and shaded by a huge tree, is used for a quilting group. While arrangements were being made to acquire the Shady Grove Road property, Rev. Bitely and the congregation had placed the Sandston site up

for sale. That property offered 5,700 square feet on six acres. “It took us from that point to actually getting it sold a little over a year,” he added. The new location of St. Paul boasts 7¾ acres. “We actually started renting it before we completed the purchase,” the pastor said. With a house on-site and land on which to build, St. Paul Lutheran Church was ready to start construction. In the meantime, however, the congregation needed a meeting place. “Someone told us about Mr. [Charles D.] Morehead over at Bennett (Funeral Home on Lee Davis Road) and we called them and said that we were in the process of relocating and would it be possible to use the chapel for worship services,” Rev. Bitely said. The first Sunday in April 2005 the congregation of St. Paul held its first worship service in the chapel at Bennett’s. “I really thought we would be at Bennett’s for a couple of years and then moving out here. With planning and fundraising — all that things that go into building a church — it took longer than we expected.” “Last year it all came together and we ended up working with Haley Builders (an Ashland construction company). Greg Haley came out and met with us. He has been a wonderful blessing in getting everything put together and designed. He’s really gone out of his way to make this happen.” Haley was referred to St. Paul by the Church of the Nazarene on Atlee

Good Morning Jerry, I had wanted to stop by yesterday and give you a hug but time did not allow me to do that. So this morning, I just want to thank you again for the way you conducted my Mother’s funeral arrangements, September 2009, and everything you and your staff did for my family. Yesterday was the 1 year anniversary of her passing, Leota Hart, and you made it a memorable day. It is sad, surely, but to be able to reflect on it being a positive time was much easier than it could have been. Last week, and the few days before the day of her death, was difficult for me remembering how sick she was and I had lots of dreams about her. But thanks to our prior meeting with you and all that you did for us, made the memory much easier to deal with. Thanks again for the sensitive manner in which you conduct your business. I highly recommend Monaghan to anyone for the last thing that they can do for someone they love. I wish you much success in the years to come. When there comes a time for such a service, you are by far my first choice, so please stay in business for a long time. Have a beautiful day. Gloria Mangum

detail that it seemed as if he was actually there. Rick was blessed with many longtime friends that supported him through his life. He was thankful to have such good friends, and always said he was grateful for everything in his life. Rick retired form Lucent Technologies, was a Mason, and also a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. His passion about Civil War history led him to many battlefields and also many relic-hunting trips. Rick’s love, support, and ever-present smile will be greatly missed by those who had the distinct honor and pleasure of knowing him on his journey through life. The world is a lesser place without him and Heaven is now even more brilliant.

Charles D. Peaco III, “Buddy”. Our beloved husband, father, grandfather and brother, Charles D. Peaco III, 72, of Mechanicsville, passed away suddenly Sept. 16, 2010, at Memorial Regional Medical Center surrounded by those who loved him so dearly. Little did we know, he would leave more than his Mary Ruth Northrop, footprints, he left his memories, his knowledge, his laughter and, age 91, died at her home in most of all, he left his love. Buddy Mechanicsville, on Sept. 16, Peaco began life on June 1, 1938 2010. Mary Ruth was born in Richmond. Growing up in June 5, 1919 in Washington, Richmond was a series of advenD.C. the daughter of Wiltures, hard work, responsibility liam Arthur Northrop and and friendship. What pride we all Emma Aurelia Kaech. She had in him, his talent, his skill in was preceded in death by her imparting information, his sense parents, her sister, Monica of always knowing the right thing Ellen Northrop Schlick, and to do and always trying to do it, her great-niece, Mariah Ellen and his immense overwhelmStockdale. Surviving are her ing joy in bringing happiness nephew, John J. (Stephanie) to others. Most of all, everyone Schlick of Washington, D.C.; who knew him well will forever her niece, Monica Mary Schlick Stockdale of Albuquer- remember his devilish sense of que, N.M.; great-niece, Andrea humor and how hard he laughed at his own corny jokes . . . always Lazzelle Stockdale of New laughing so much harder than Orleans, La.; and great-nephhis audience. He was happiest ew, Ian Northrop Stockdale working in his trade as a Master of Albuquerque. She held membership in DAR (chapter Plumber. He was a member of regent 1983 to 1986, district the Plumbers and Steamfitters Local Union 10 for 45 years. He treasurer 1992 to 1995), co-owned and was President of National Society Women De-

Peaco Mechanical Corporation. During this time he served as an employer trustee for the Local 10’s Health and Welfare Fund and the Apprenticeship Program. Buddy was a 32nd degree Mason and a member of Tuckahoe Lodge 347, Richmond Scottish Rite Body and ACCA Shrine. He was a member of Providence United Methodist Church in Quinton, Va. for the past 14 years and a prior member of Shady Grove United Methodist Church in Mechanicsville, Va. After his retirement in 1996, Buddy relished the time spent with his wife of 32 years, Betty, other family members and many close friends at Bethpage Camp Resort in Urbanna, Va. When not at the “rivah,” he always had to be busy doing something and in his spare time he became interested in working with stained glass and mosaics. Always the perfectionist, he mastered these arts producing some very beautiful and meaningful pieces of art work for family and friends. When Betty decided to venture forth into the world of politics by going to work six years ago at the General Assembly, he jokingly told everyone that he had become her “go-get-her” as he drove her back and forth to work every day, packed her surprise lunches and always made sure she had her French Vanilla Cappuccino every morning. Buddy leaves behind his devoted wife, Betty, and son and daughter-inlaw, Charles and Mitzie Peaco. He will be deeply missed by his sister and brother-in-law, Linda Peaco-Mason and Paul Mason; sister, Janet Sharpe; brother and sister-in-law, Ellis and Linda Peaco; brother, Clark Gunn; and grandchildren, Justin, Mathew, Chelsea, Tyler, and Charlie. He is also survived by several nieces, nephews, lifelong friends and two four-legged children, Olivia and Harley. He was preceded in death by his parents, Charles D. Peaco II and Dorothy Gunn; one daughter, Donna Edwards; his first wife, Joyce Womack Peaco; and one sister, Barbara Gray. The family would like to express their heartfelt thanks to C. Foster

Jennings, M.D. and Marc R. Katz, M.D., who with their very special talents gave Buddy back to us in 1996 for 14 more wonderful years. We will always be eternally grateful for that precious time. A celebration of his life will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 22, 2010 at 1 p.m. at Bennett Funeral Home, 8014 Lee-Davis Road, Mechanicsville. Visitation was held Tuesday, Sept. 21, 2010 at the funeral home. For those that wish, memorial contributions may be made to Providence United Methodist Church, 4001 New Kent Highway, Quinton, Va., or a charity of your choice. Put a smile on our faces and a song in our hearts, as Buddy so often did, by simply sending flowers to someone you care for, signing an organ donation card, or giving to those less fortunate. To our fellow animal lovers, please think of Tidewater Bichon Frise Rescue, P.O. Box 8084, Suffolk, Va. 23438, who so generously allowed Buddy’s precious and much loved Olivia to adopt him at first sight. We all have beautiful memories filled with joy, laughter, and love. The world will be poorer for your death but so much richer because you lived. If we could have one lifetime wish, one dream that would come true, we’d pray to God with all our hearts for yesterday and you.

As his administration begins, Hines said “We’re looking for the high visibility within the community. We’re going to continue to look for methods to alter criminal behavior.” He also said his office “will continue to put our resources where they do the citizens the most good, and that’s in operations enforcement. We’ve been dedicated to keeping somewhere around 65 to 67 percent of our resources into patrol.” Hanover County residents can expect to see a continued presence of uniform officers in marked cars. “We’re like any other agency,” he added. “You have to

Sheriff ’s Office to take part in prescription drug take back effort

WE ARE THE LOCAL TURF SPECIALISTS FOR THE DO-IT-YOURSELFER! Modern, Easy-to-Use Rental Equipment for Your Yard

The Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office, along with other Richmond localities, will be assisting the Richmond District Office of the Drug Enforcement Administration with the firstever Nationwide Prescription Drug Take Back Initiative on Saturday, Sept. 25. The purpose of the initiative, to be held from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Mechanicsville Transfer Station at 7427 Verdi Lane in Mechanicsville, is to provide an opportunity for citizens to surrender their expired, unwanted and/or unused pharmaceutical controlled substances. Unused prescription drugs can pose a significant threat to the safety and welfare of citizens, as well as to the environment if they are not disposed of properly. Today, the nation’s fastest-growing drug problem is the abuse of prescription drugs, which has led to substantial increases in the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses in communities. Studies show that the ease of obtaining these drugs from family and friends, as well as from the medicine cabinet at home, has led to these alarming increases. In addition, many citizens do not properly

dispose of these medications and often flush them down the toilet or simply throw them away in the trash. “The Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office encourages all citizens of Hanover County to take advantage of this opportunity to help make our homes, communities and environment safe from abused and improperly disposed of prescription drugs,” Capt. Michael J. Trice said. “Citizen identities will be kept anonymous.” Trice also residents should keep in mind that: ● Prescription and over-the-counter solid dosage medications, for example, tablets and capsules, will be accepted. ● Intra-venous solutions, injectables, and needles will not be accepted. ● Illicit substances such as marijuana or methamphetamine are not a part of this initiative. To learn more about the dangers of prescription drugs please visit the following websites: ● http://www.justice.gov/dea/index.htm. ● http://www.getsmartaboutdrugs.com/. ● http://www.dare.com/kids/index_3.htm.

Enrollment for the 20102011 in Hanover County Public Schools neared targeted expectations, with 18,212 kindergarten through 12th grade students having reported on Sept. 14, the sixth day of the new term. Michael Thornton, assistant superintendent of business and operations, told the Hanover County School Board during its regular meeting on Sept. 14 that the district was serving 18,212 students. The forecast had been for 18,271. The number rises to 19,266 when pre-kindergarten and other placements are included, he added. In planning for budget and staff for this year, he said they anticipated a slight decline. “We are pleased that, although we are seeing some decline in enrollment, it is at a level we expected,” he said. Stewart D. Roberson, superintendent, continued the tradition of visiting all 25 schools on the first day, which was Sept. 7. “All in all,” he said, “it was quite a smooth day. Things were going along fairly well without a hitch.” School Board members joining him for the daylong tour were John F. Axselle III, chair; Ann F. Hagan Gladstone, vice chair; and Sue Forbes Watson. Watson said it was “amazing” how focused the students were and how they were already

engaged in work. “They were sitting and concentrating and reading and writing and drawing and this was the first day of school.” Gladstone described the experience as “25 different first days of school,” with each having a different personality. “It was a long day, but very energizing.” In sharing his opinions of the day, Axselle called it “a faster version of our tours that we make every year.” (The School Board takes two days in the fall to visit the western and eastern areas of the county.) “When you get in a classroom and you see those young people – I don’t care about the headaches we may have been facing at the time – it just really makes it nice,” he said.

It just amazes me how that is accomplished. It was a great day, a great first day.” Tony Valentino, associate superintendent for policy and administration, announced he will present the 2011 legislative program process at the Oct. 12 regular meeting.

Volunteers needed for ACS Relay The American Cancer Society Relay For Life is seeking volunteers in Mechanicsville – walkers, cancer survivors, caregivers, community leaders, anyone wanting to make a difference – to organize and recruit fundraising teams, garner community support, coordinate logistics, seek refreshments and prizes, plan entertainment and lend a hand to ensure the success of the 2011 event. The first volunteer committee meeting will be held at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 30, in the Mechanicsville Public Library. The meeting will begin the planning process for the Mechanicsville’s Relay For Life event, which supports the American Cancer Society’s mission of saving lives by helping people stay well, by helping people get well, by finding cures and by fighting back against the disease. Relay For Life events are held overnight as individuals and teams camp out at an athletic track, park or other gathering area, with the goal of keeping at least one team member on the track or pathway at all times throughout the evening. Teams do most of their fundraising before the event, but some teams also hold creative fundraisers at their camp sites during Relay.

Ashland joins in drug take back The Ashland Police Department will partner with the Drug Enforcement Agency from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 25, to take part in the first nationwide prescription drug take back. Collection sites — where residents can turn in their unused, unneeded and expired prescription medications — will be operating around the nation to include the Ashland Police Department . “We will not ask questions concerning prescription drugs needing to be disposed,” Chief Doug Goodman said. “We do ask not to bring syringes or any other street drug. Drugs can stay in its original sealed container or emptied in the

bin.” According to the police chief, unused or expired prescription medications are a public safety issue, leading to accidental poising, overdose and abuse. “It is highly suggested not to hold on to expired medications. Homes containing children or elderly are especially vulnerable to this danger and need to take preventative steps, including getting rid of old medications,” he added. Every day, on average, 2,500 teens use prescription drugs to get high for the first time. Fifty-six percent of teens believe that prescription drugs are easier to get than illicit drugs. Sixty-three percent of teens

believe that prescription drugs are easy to get from friends’ and family’s medicine cabinet. To explain the dangers of prescription drugs, visit the following websites: GetSmartAboutDrugs.com for parents and JustThinkTwice. com for teens; a prescription drug guide “Prescription for Disaster: How Teens Abuse Medicine”, and the DEA traveling target America: Opening Eyes to the Damage Drugs Cause.

The new sheriff has been a part of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office since he started his law enforcement career in 1984. His promotions and the time line are: sergeant, 1991; lieutenant, 1995; captain, 1997; major, 2002; lieutenant colonel, 2003; and colonel, 2010.

On Thursday, Circuit Judge J.

Guaranteed farm loans also may be made for ownership or operating purposes, and may be made by any lending institution subject to federal or state supervision (banks, savings and loans, and units of the Farm Credit System) and guaranteed by FSA. Some state governments also operate farm loan programs that are eligible for FSA guarantees. FSA typically guarantees 90

or 95 percent of a loan against any loss that might be incurred if the loan fails. Persons who are primarily and directly engaged in farming and ranching on family operations may apply. A family farm is one that a family can operate and manage itself. Socially disadvantaged loan applicants do not receive automatic approval. In addition to being members of a socially disadvantaged group, individual applicants under this program must meet all requirements for FSA’s regular farm loan program assistance, including: ✓ Have a satisfactory history of meeting credit obligations. ✓ Have sufficient education, training or at least oneyear’s experience in managing or operating a farm or ranch within the last five years for a direct operating loan, or, for a direct farm ownership loan, have participated in the busi-

ness operation of a farm or ranch for three years; ✓ Be a citizen of the United States (or a legal resident alien), including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa and certain former Pacific Island Trust Territories; ✓ Be unable to obtain credit elsewhere at reasonable rates and terms to meet actual needs; and ✓ Possess legal capacity to incur loan obligations. A socially disadvantaged person is one of a group whose members have been subjected to racial, ethnic or gender prejudice because of his or her identity as members of the group without regard to his or her individual qualities. For purposes of this program, socially disadvantaged groups are women, African Americans, American Indians, Alaskan Natives, Hispanics, Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders.

Contact the FSA County Office Farm Loan Program staff for more details about this program, and other financial options.

Governor recognizes APD Transportation Safety, Law Enforcement Challenge awards received The Ashland Police Department recently received the 2010 Governor’s Transportation Safety Award for the category of General Traffic Safety. Officers implemented Crash Reduction Utilizing Selective Enforcement (CRUISE) and Addressing Complaints Using Technology and Enforcement (ACUTE) by identifying and patrolling high-risk intersections. The Governor’s Transportation Safety Awards are awarded each year by the Board of Transportation Safety. The 12-member board advises the governor, secretary of Transportation and the Department of Motor Vehicles commissioner on transportation safety matters. It also identifies elements of a comprehensive safety program for all modes of transportation in Virginia, including air, rail, water, motor carrier, public transportation and pupil transportation. The Ashland Police Department also placed first in its category in the 2009 Virginia Law Enforcement Challenge sponsored by the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police. That award recognizes departments for their traffic safety initiatives and enforcement efforts. The department was able to decrease the number of accidents on the town’s roadways from 133 in 2008 to 109 in 2009, nearly an 18 percent overall decrease. The department was able to reduce these motor vehicle crashes for the third straight year through traffic enforcement, public education and the implementation of new equipment. The Ashland Police Department will continue to take a proactive approach to traffic enforcement in an effort to decrease overall incidents of accidents thus reducing personal injury and damage to property.

Raiders roll over Patriots in second half 35-10 Mental toughness key in Atlee comeback

By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local The well conditioned Raiders have demonstrated their physical toughness in the first games of the season, but when they hosted Patrick Henry Friday night, they demonstrated their mental toughness as well. After quickly falling behind 10-0 and trailing throughout the first half, the Raiders scored 35 unanswered points to claim a 35-10 victory over the Patriots. Atlee quarterback Drew Ferguson completed 21 of 32 passes for 290 yards and ran 13 times for 64 yards and two touchdowns. The undefeated Raiders (30) have now beaten their old nemesis twice in a row, but early

on, it looked like the Patriots (0-2) would regain their historical mastery over Atlee. The first drive of the game ended when Ferguson threw an interception to Patrick Henry’s Kenny Mock. The turnover led to the Patriots’ first score on an 8-yard pass from Jayrin Waller to Mock. At first, the Raiders’ offense had trouble getting started while the Patriots seemed unstoppable – taking up most of the first seven minutes of the second quarter on a 62-yard drive than ended in a 29-yard field goal by Luis Carillo. Atlee began to show some spark in the final two minutes of the first half, driving 65 yards to score on a 5-yard run by Josh Doggett – but Ferguson had a hand in the 60 yards before that, completing two passes of 29 and 19 yards and running twice for four and eight yards.

“I kept my confidence. That’s something I’ve been working on a lot in the off-season,” Ferguson said. “I kept the offense going. The line, I talked to them. We kept our heads up.” Early on, Patrick Henry pressure kept Ferguson off-balance, but as the evening progressed, he found more time to throw, and a host of receivers found ways to keep hold of the ball despite taking big hits as soon as they touched it. Ferguson had plenty of targets to choose from: Shaquille Williams (three receptions for 7 yards), Jordan Underwood (3for-63), Will McCombs (4-for34), Joseph Morales (3-for-33), www.mechlocal.com Jarred Hall ( 2-for-31), Doggett See slideshow online! (2-for-28) and Ben Griffith (4for-27). Charlie Leffler/The Local “Our heads were a little big coming out,” Ferguson said. Atlee’s Josh Doggett (42) Cole Stout (67), Cole Woody (50) and Josh Spears (71) make sure that see Raiders, pg. 41 `

Patrick Henry’s Montel Minor has nowhere to go. The Atlee defense slowed Patrick Henry to a crawl in the second half, allowing the Raiders’ offense to go on a 35-0 run in the comeback win.

What a day, what a game, what a stadium opener First year Richmond head football coach Latrell Scott couldn’t have asked for a better scenario in his home debut. Not only did the former LeeDavis standout get the opportunity to coach his first home game in front of friends and family but he also got to do so in the pristine environs of the newly renovated Robin’s

Stadium. The seats were filled, Hall of Fame players were in the stadium, there were sky divers and celebrity singers, what more could one ask for? How about a football game that not even Hollywood could have scripted better? For story and photo gallery go to www.mechlocal.com. Charlie Leffler/The Local

No. 2 Raiders avoid Confederate/Patriot rallies By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The Atlee boys volleyball team finished last week with a 2-0 against county teams, defeating both Lee-Davis and Patrick Henry is straight sets. Both contests showed that the No. 2 ranked Raiders (7-1, Capital 4-0) are a quality team but one that is still adjusting to five players in new positions. After relatively breezing through their first two sets against both the Confederates (2-3, 0-2) and Patriots (3-4), Atlee found themselves in a real battle to close out each match. But for Raiders assistant coach Andy Crane it was just a part of playing county rivals. “We were expecting what we got,” he said. “Any time we face a fellow county school we know that they’re going to scrap and they want to beat us as bad as we want to beat them.” Against Lee-Davis, Atlee raced ahead, winning the first two sets 25-6 and 25-16 but coming out of the break they faced a challenge from a strong C-fed rally before winning 25-

RAIDERS Continued from pg. 40 b

“We got our heads together real quick and came out in the second half and pounded it right down their throats so that they didn’t know what was coming.” Patrick Henry coach Sam Hart said Atlee’s physical conditioning helped the Raiders wear down the Patriots. “Their system, when they go to no-huddle, I think it wore us down in the second half,” Hart said. “They were no-huddle all night, but when they went to empty set and threw the ball all the time, wore us down even more.” Atlee coach Roscoe Johnson said the physical conditioning regime he’s put the team

The Raiders’ Thursday night match at Patrick Henry was similar. Atlee claimed the first two sets 25-14 and 25-9 but had to rally to close out the match with a 25-19 win. However, neither match displayed anything new for Atlee early in the season, as they have often faced third set battles. But Crane does not attribute the trend to mental lapses. “They’re high school kids so lapses might not be the best word,” he said. “They’re high school kids would probably be the best word. It’s tough sometimes when you get into that third game and they relax a little bit too much. When you do that at any sport and you’re not ready to play you’re going to get yourself in trouble.” Each of Atlee’s games at Patrick Henry began as a seesaw affair. In the first set, the Raiders ran out to a 5-2 lead only to watch the Patriots score six straight behind the service of Scott Brigham (6 kills, 4 aces, 3 digs). Atlee junior Billy Dishman finally ended the draught with

a tip over the net. Then it was the Raiders turn to rally. With Dishman serving, Atlee ran off seven straight to retake the lead 12-8. “Billy Dishman, our setter, he’s doing a wonderful job taking over for our setter from last year, he’s doing a nice job,” Crane said. “He’s a junior and it’s tough to walk onto a team where there’s a lot of seniors and be the setter after all these years.” A kill by senior Andrew Stanford gave Atlee a 19-14 lead. Stanford who is making the switch from libero to outside hitter then took service and the Raiders reeled off six straight. Only one of Stanford’s serves was returned and that one resulted in a Kody Tingler (12 kills, 9 digs) kill. Patrick Henry provided little challenge in the second set. Trailing 6-5, the Patriots watched Atlee go on a 14-1 run then win 25-9. Coming out of the break, Patrick Henry showed renewed effort taking a 7-6 lead on a block from Ian Branch. But Atlee gradually edged in front

through has had a non-physical benefit as well – it’s made the team mentally tough as well. “I keep telling them that once we get to the second half, there’s nobody that can hang with us,” Johnson said. “We’ve got to keep it close. If we keep it close when we are down, because of our conditioning we can get right back into [the game].” Johnson said holding Patrick Henry to a field goal on its last scoring drive rapidly changed the momentum. “That was huge,” Johnson said. “I think if we gave up a touchdown, we still would have won, but it would have taken a bit longer. That field goal showed the offense that the defense is giving it everything

they’ve got to keep [the Patriots] out – so let’s help them out.” The Raiders opened the second half with a nine-play, 63-yard drive that featured four completed passes by Ferguson and ended with his 1-yard scoring run that gave them the lead for good. Atlee’s next possession ended in an interception, but it finished the quarter with a seven-play, 53-yard drive that ended in Doggett’s second touchdown run – this time for 6 yards. In all the Raiders ran 20 plays for 137 yards in the third quarter while Patrick Henry ran only 12 for 36 yards. Atlee scored on both of its possessions in the fourth quarter, the first ending in an 11-yard run by Ferguson and the last ending in 17-yard run

Local cross country runners get in stride By JP Beauchamp For The Mechanicsville Local For Hanover County, the cross country season brings the usual high expectations for local teams and this year could field the best overall talent among the four local schools. ATLEE The Raiders boys expect another exciting season led by senior Andrew Catanese, who turned in a smoking 14:52:50 to win the Fork Union Invitational. “He’s off to a terrific start,” said Head Coach Jim Triemplar who fields the largest boys squad he’s ever had. Behind Catanese comes a field of virtual newcomers to the varsity scene. Juniors Evan Ratke and Zach Snider Jr. as well as sophomore Griffin Carmichael have been running the top spots behind Catanese. Also debuting with great performances have been freshmen Nathaniel Hall and Bizz Alidost. Equally impressive are juniors Evan Harris and Austin Smith, as well as sophomores Thomas Franco, Fitz Rogers and Matt Peery. “We’re probably the third ranked team right n o w, and

will have to really perform well to move up beyond that,” Triemplar said. The Atlee girls, though young, bring in their talent with tightly-packed runners from one to seven, like sophomores Paige Harrar and Scarlett Bavin, juniors Rebekah Hamlett and Katie Bland (who is currently out with an injury) as well as freshman Julia Fraser. Harrar, who put in the most miles over the summer, “has demonstrated some tremendous leadership,” Triemplar said. HANOVER The Hawks are packing their lunch to make a run at first place in the Capital District. Leading the field for the girls’ is senior Anna Gordon and freshman Molly Breidenbaugh. Over the summer, Breidenbaugh trained over the summer with her brother Matthew, the top runner for Maggie Walker, putting in weekly mileage in the upper 30s and lower

40s. The training schedule seems to work for Breidenbaugh, although Hanover head coach Hopper and Assistant Coach Sherry Hannay normally prefer freshmen to work in the upper 20s to lower 30s. “The main thing for us is to keep everyone healthy,” Hopper said. “If we keep everyone healthy, we should have a pretty good showing.” Rounding out the girls’ top five are freshman Annie Sadler, sophomore Rachel Gaunt, and senior Blake Potts. Hopper feels they are looking solid for the district, and added, “Our one deal is that Lee-Davis is going to be tough for us,” he said. “We’re certainly in there for number two in the district. Whether we take out Lee-Davis or not…that certainly is going to be a tall order.” W i t h

eight seniors, the top-heavy Hanover boys’ team is also looking for a Capital District win, making the top four for the region, then moving on to states. Running together since middle school, the top five are seniors Michael Goolsby, Baylor Dickerson and Sam Rosser along with juniors James Poyer and Lucas Nachman. Hopper feels that Goolsby, Dickerson, Poyer and Nachman are evenly matched. “Those four any given day could be our number one runner,” he said. “They are all very, very tight as far as the competition goes, with Sam Rosser just a little bit behind that group. [Rosser] is our solid number five runner.” Running six and seven are senior Joe Jarrells and freshman Casey Cook who

turned in times in the 18s at Knights Crossing. LEE-DAVIS Although young, the C-Fed girls look solid in the Capital District race with strong runners like sophomore Bonny Turnage and senior Tiel Westbrook. Though only a in her second year of varsity Turnage has already become the girl to beat but Head Coach Neil Matthews feels Westbrook will have a break out season due to her success as a regional champion in 500m indoor track and a strong contender in the 800m and mile in the outdoor season. “For cross country, this is the first season where she has been a real contender,” Matthews said. “I think she’s going to have a real strong season.” Other hot contenders are junior Samantha Perkins, Victoria Doss and Melissa Davis, sophomore Haley Uliasz, and Halie Warren. According to Matthews,

Uliasz is built similarly to Turnage and, though timid, has “a great motor, good foot speed, and has that extra gear that you hope your runners will have. We’re trying to work on her being more aggressive.” Warren, who worked wout with the JV program last year, has a taller slender build and long legs that eat up the ground when she runs. “She’s confident, and doesn’t like to lose,” Matthews said. The C-Fed boys’ come seasoned with eight seniors who have been running together for five years, including senior Cody Snyder who came in just over 16 minutes at the Great Meadow Invitational in August. “Cody is an exceptional runner, an exceptional talent,” Matthews said. “We don’t get Codys every year when you coach. So you want to prepare him for the next level, because he will definitely be a collegiate runner, so we do things a little see RUNNERS, pg. 43 `

Faulkners’ five TDs key Yellow Jacket win By Jim Ridolphi For The Mechanicsville Local Sometimes coaches are hard to figure. Following his team’s 4214 thumping of visiting Shenandoah, Randolph-Macon head football coach Pedro Azurra wasn’t exactly thrilled with his team’s performance. “I thought it was really sloppy,” he said after the win, the Jackets third in a row in this young season. “I thought our execution was inconsistent and we had way too many penalties at key times, and that’s not what I expect from our team.” Likewise, Saturday’s loss also left Shenandoah coach Paul Barnes scratching his head as his Hornets departed Ashland for the long trip home. “We just didn’t play well today, in any aspect of the game,” the veteran coach said. “I thought we’d come out and play better than we did, but we just didn’t play Hornet football today.” The visiting Hornets barely had time to catch their breath as the Yellow Jackets took the opening kickoff and marched 85 yards in 10 plays to take a

lead that was never threatened. R-MC’s Thaddeus Scruggs put the cap on the five-minute drive with a 9-yard touchdown run. “It’s good to set a tempo at the beginning,” Scruggs said. “We came out fast and let them know we meant business.” Following a Hornet threeand-out, the Jackets added another score when senior quarterback Austin Faulkner found Dan Crouch in the end zone for a 17- yard scoring connection. It was the first of five TD

passes for the senior, who said the performance still left room for improvement. “We still have to go back and hammer out some things for next week and tomorrow we’ll come in and fix some things we didn’t do well today. We’ll take the win but we can do better.” Zack Midulla gathered in a three-yard completion to up the Jackets lead to 21-0, seconds into the second period. Crouch caught a third touchdown pass shortly before the half for a 28-0 advantage.

Patriots head coach Jeremy Dobrinski is excited to see improvement across the board with his teams this year. The girls, though very young, are showing talent in sophomores Logan Harrington, Melina Richardson and Tyler Kittel, as well as junior Allison Nichols. “They’ve been pushing in our top four and kind of swapping positions at every meet,” Dobrinski said. Up and comers include sophomore Tyler Kittel, who ran impressively at the Sports Equestrian. “I look to see some good things from her as the season goes on,” Dobrinski said. “Her times are dropping rapidly.” For the boys, senior Julian

Menk leads the team in best times. “I look to see good things from him, being one of the better kids in the Colonial District as well as placing in the top 15 or so in the Central Region,” Dobrinski said. Other bright spots for the Patriots are sophomore Tyler McReynolds, and senior David Halstead. With only three seniors and the rest underclassmen, the Patriots look forward to seeing their strength develop further in the coming seasons. Sophomores Nathan Nayda and Wyatt Campbell are running very well though both are nursing injuries right now. “I look to see when they get healthy to be very helpful for our team,” Dobrinski said.

Barnes said it was a forgettable first half for the Hornets. “We were out of sync offensively and defensively and made some special team mistakes, and you can’t do that against a team like Randolph-Macon.” The Hornets took the second half kickoff and mounted an 11-play, 65-yard scoring drive, capped by a one-yard plunge by Keone Kyle. The defense stopped the Jackets on the ensuing series, but the Hornets couldn’t sustain a third period drive and the quarter ended with the Jackets up 28-7. “I thought we played better in the second half, but didn’t take advantage of some opportunities and just didn’t execute well enough to come back,” Barnes said. Faulkner continued his aerial assault in the final period, finding Earl Peoples in the end zone for 14-yard score. Peoples hit pay dirt again on the ensuing drive with a four-yard completion. Peoples was 17-for-170 yards; many of them drive sustaining catches. “We were trying to move the chains and not worry about scoring,” he said. Shenandoah’s coach said the Jackets presented a variety of problems for his team. “You have to give RandolphMacon credit,” Barnes said. “They’re a good football team, and we didn’t have one of our better performances today.” The Jacket defense held Hornets wide receiver Rico Wallace to three catches for 27 yards while running back Keone Kyle totaled only 37 yards on 13 carries. “I thought our defense did some things well out there today, and overall, they played better than last week,” Azurra said. “I don’t think they (Sheandoah) had many rushing yards, and I’m happy about that.” On Monday the Yellow Jackets moved into the No. 25

The Mechanicsville Local

slot in this week’s D3 Football poll and they host Frostburg State at 1 p.m., but Azurra said his team still has a long way to go to reach preseason goals. “To be honest, I thought we took a step backwards today,” he said. “We have extremely high standards for our program and I think we should have played better,” he added. The 3-0 start could make Azurra’s job more difficult. “The biggest challenge will be keeping them focused and make sure we continue to get better, because we’re not good enough now to compete with the best teams in our conference.” Arruza had some good advice for his team heading into this week. “Our guys better come ready to practice next week and with a sense of urgency because if we play like that, we won’t win a game,” he said.
