Jamie Mullenaux appeared humble and modest at being selected Hanover County Teacher of the Year just before the 2010-2011 term came to a close. Her dedication to her students now finds her representing the county as the Region One nominee for Virginia
Teacher of the Year. On Tuesday, Sept. 20, Dr. Jamelle Wilson, superintendent of schools, informed Mullenaux, a fifth grade teacher at Mechanicsville Elementary School, of her latest honor. Of the eight nominees for the state designation, Patricia I. Wright, superintendent of Public Instruction, said, “These

4-H Club donates books to Hanover elementary schools Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com On Aug. 11, members of the Three Rivers Livestock 4-H Club made a trip to the Hanover County Public Schools Central Office in Ashland to present each elementary school principal in the county with a book called Ready, Set, GROW! The book’s goal is to teach children about the many different types of farming found in Virginia. It describes many different types of farms, including dairy farms, nurseries and peanut farms. The club had raised money to build a Learning Barn and fill it with agriculturerelated books for Mechanicsville Elementary School. Club members were able to raise more than enough money to complete their project,
and they decided to use the remaining money to purchase the Ready, Set, GROW! books for Hanover County elementary schools. Three Rivers Livestock club is made up of about 20 kids from all over Hanover County and King William County. Club members raise, care for, and show livestock, including beef cattle, meat goats, hogs and poultry. Members show their livestock in various fairs and shows throughout the state and finish up the year at the Virginia State Fair. They also have a junior and senior Stockman’s team that participates in contests throughout the state. The club’s main mission is to educate people, young and old, about the importance of agriculture and how it touches all of our lives daily.

Bon Secours Richmond Health System is among the top 20 companies named to this year’s Working Mother 100 Best Companies list for meeting the needs of working mothers and offering family friendly benefits for working parents. This is the 14th year Bon Secours has been named a top company, first making the list in 1998. According to Working Mother flexibility is the number one demand of working moms. Its research shows that flexible work arrangements give employees the power to create their own workday and workplace, even their own flexible career path. “We are honored to be among the top 20 companies on Working Mother’s 100 Best list, and take pride in understanding that our working parents
need flexibility in their lives,” said Bonnie Shelor, senior vice president of human resources for Bon Secours Virginia Health System. “We invest in our employees and their lives, so they can be fully present and at their best both at home and at work.” “With 85 percent of its workforce female, Bon Secours Richmond Health System is extremely fair when it comes to its working mothers,” Jennifer Owens, director of the Working Mother Research Institute, said. Working Mother’s 100 Best Companies applicants are judged on answers to 650 questions, including data on access and usage of flexible work arrangements, parental leave, child care, health and wellness support, and the advancement of women to all levels of man-

My daughter, Lindsey, 13, is in Girls Scouts working towards her Gold Award with the assistance of her mother and her other leaders.” Both Troops are sponsored by Fairmount Christian Church. Since 1999, Kyte has operated a small business that assists senior citizens, as well as a small commercial cleaning business. “The cleaning business helps pay the bills so that I can offer the seniors a lower cost for my services,” he said. “I help all the seniors that I can to stay in their homes as long as possible.” “Ever since I have lived in the Cold Harbor area, I have fallen in love with the farm land, history and numerous battlefields; a place many proud men and boys from the South and North gave their lives.

Bon Secours Richmond offers its employees flexible work arrangements, including: ✓ Job sharing. ✓ Compressed work weeks. ✓ Telecommuting. ✓ Flexible scheduling for summer. ✓ Flexible start times. ✓ Phased retirement. ✓ Full benefits with a parttime schedule of just 16 hours a week.

Because of this beauty and history, I will not vote for rezoning in agricultural areas for new neighborhood development. We don’t want to become a ‘Chesterfield’ or the ‘West End.’ People moved here to get away from that. There are enough empty homes, due to the poor economy, for many families to move to our area without building more neighborhoods. Development has gone crazy since I have lived here and enough is enough; let’s slow this to a crawl.” “As far as history,” Kyte said, “we should protect any and all history in the area. I have been in National Battlefields with houses butted right up to the trenches. Let’s look at buffer zones around battlefields and battle lines. I know there is limited revenue for such things, but there are other avenues for financial assistance in these areas. And it’s okay to have events such as ‘Dixie Days.’ It’s about the past, our history. Not to be suppressed because some people might be offended.

“In reference to our children of the area, we have seen both the putt putt and the skate rink disappear and have done little to find something for our youth to do. If you don’t play ball of some sort, you are limited. We need to find alternative activities for our youth to do around the area. Let’s use the influence of the supervisors to get things like this taken care of.” Kyte said he would “always look out for the seniors. I know, after 12 years in the business, there is a need for senior transportation. Let’s see if we can do it as a non-profit, so that the Revenuer doesn’t have to foot the bill. Start small and let the need determine the growth of the transportation issue.” “All my voting life I have been Republican, but I am running as an independent,” Kyte said. “ Running as an independent doesn’t limit me to any one agenda, but can take the good from all parties to best benefit the people. Let’s get some new blood and new ideas in office for the people of Cold Harbor. I would like to be that person.” Kyte has a campaign Facebook page: Jeff Kyte for Cold Harbor. He closed by saying, “I welcome any comments or concerns.”
HABCC continues successful path By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com In accepting the presidency of the Hanover Association of Businesses and Chamber of Commerce, Michael Gladstone said he hopes to maintain last year’s momentum and “try to continue delivering services that we have.” Gladstone, who is with McClandish Holton, PC, moved into the president’s office during last Wednesday’s Annual Dinner and Membership Meeting at the Islamorada Restaurant in Ashland. “We can pull together,” he said of MARTIN the HABCC’s role in the community, “and leverage that cooperation.” Communication and cooperation were words used frequently in Gladstone’s remarks. He said the HABCC has a good working relationship with Hanover County government, noting County Administrator
Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. regularly attends quarterly board meetings. As president, Gladstone said he was “going to work hard to keep the lines of communication open.” His goals include: improving and increasing communication; expanding and building government relations; and increasing involvement with public schools and other education resources in the county. Gladstone also targets the influence of the Internet, with plans to coordinate the HABCC website, e-mails and Facebook page. Regular communication with the Hanover County BOSCHEN Board of Supervisors also tops his list for the coming year. He said he will utilize the talents and personalities of the membership in leadership appointments. Serving with Gladstone will be Gail F. Hubbard, Village Bank, vice president; and Jeff Yorke, The Yorke Agency, treasurer.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
HABCC embodies community spirit While the organization’s emphasis is obviously business, don’t let the name Hanover Association of Businesses and Chamber of Commerce deceive you. Thanks to strong members and a dedicated staff, this group is integral to the ongoing success we enjoy in Hanover County. Listening to what has been accomplished, as well as goals, during last Wednesday’s Annual Dinner and Membership Meeting left this writer feeling good about this place we call home. There is a true spirit of community in the words and deeds of the people involved in the HABCC. Helping the small business owner and helping the county administration attract “the big guys” appear to be equal in importance to the chamber. It’s all about keeping people employed and businesses thriving. Simply put, the work these people do is impressive — and inspiring. The members are our friends and neighbors and they are united in their efforts to keep Hanover County moving forward and maintain the quality of life we enjoy. Partnering with county government, including our new economic development director and school superintendent, provides for a highly beneficial relationship. We’re fortunate, and sometimes we may take this for granted. The spirit of cooperation surrounding us is to be respected — and cherished. To the HABCC, thank you for your work and good luck in the coming year. We are confident more good things will be coming our way.

With empathy civilizations were formed and people thrived. Those societies that lack it have either fallen, will fall or will change their ways through people that express it. It’s true not all people and civilizations were and are empathetic but those that practice religion tend to be. So where does this empathy originate from? It certainly can’t be bought or sold and as stated it’s unlikely it was derived from other species, leaving the distinct possibility of it originating from a higher power. So, Mr. Snead, you need not partake in our “dogma” nor accept “our narrow-minded views” but, until someone can convince to me that mankind’s empathy was derived from nature, I, for one, unlike yourself, will continue to believe that science and religion can walk hand-in-hand. Ken Essigman Mechanicsville
LETTERS Continued from pg. 6
row-minded views? As an engineer, I agree that most of nature may have a scientific answer but that still does not persuade me to the point of accepting Darwinism, etc. The reason I have a hard time comprehending the theory of evolution and other Scientology can be summed up in one word: empathy. I can’t accept that the human race obtained empathy from some Gila monster that lived six million years ago. Empathy is what separates the human race from all other species. Empathy is why the world, for the most part, functions in a civil manner. Without empathy people would behave like the animal kingdom does: Survival of the fittest with total disregard for their own species as well as other species.
God issue a matter of faith In his Sept. 14, 2011 letter, “Understanding science,” Steve Sneed accuses a previous correspondent of having a “deep misunderstanding” of how science works. He goes on to castigate religious people in general as anti-science, stating that their mentality is the “ultimate problem” facing our world. He concludes by offering scientific atheism (my term) as the solution. My academic background is chemistry. I have a fair understanding of how science works, believe its methodology to be sound, and consider its achievements praiseworthy. It is also clear to me that scientific investigation is limited to the natural world; metaphysical questions — God, teleology (purpose), morality — are not within its purview.
Mr. Sneed blurs these spheres. He suggests that since science has made discoveries in the last 500 years that have changed how we look at nature, this somehow argues for atheism. He sees no middle ground between a pre-1500s view of God, and no God. That middle ground, however, is vast. Perhaps there is a Supreme Being, just quite different from the One presented in orthodox theologies. His conclusion, therefore, is spurious — an irrational leap of logic. There is also a failure on Mr. Sneed’s part to recognize that like the religions he deplores, atheism is a belief system. When it comes to the God proposition, no one can access enough data to make an incontestable judgment. All arguments for or against the existence of God can be legitimately challenged. Nothing is ever “proven” in any rigorous way. Like it or not, for believers and atheists, the God question is a matter of faith. David E. Lawrence Mechanicsville

Paul, who killed Christians because of his much learning and zealousness. When he met the Lord Jesus, he was never the same and referred to all that he had ever learned previously as rubbish. I am so excited about what is going to take place because I am making a commitment to lift this man’s name up in prayer to my Lord every day. I’d also like to say to all of those who consider themselves athiests out there: God is still allowing you to breathe His air right now because of His mercy. I would venture to say that all of you know someone who is praying for you. “The Lord is not slow about His promise (to take His people to heaven with him), as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.” 2 Peter 3:9 Shannon Harrell Mechanicsville
Praying for letter writer I’m responding to Steve Sneed’s letter in the Sept 14 edition. I am saddened each time I read his patronizing and demeaning letters. Perhaps one argument against atheism is that it is the perfect path to be as full of hatred as Mr. Sneed seems to be. It is obvious that he has very little knowledge of true Christianity and is making judgments based on false information. It may pain you, Mr. Sneed, but I will continue to pray for you. Beth Rathert Old Church
We Christians are not surprised that revilers will mock us, because our Lord told us that is how it will be in the last days. How exciting for us to be reminded that Jesus is coming back soon to get us. The reviling of liberal readers of this paper who have made knowledge-attainment their “god” will not cause us Christians to give up our faith. It just lights a fire under us to renew our commitment to Him because of all He has done for us! So, I’m calling all Christians to join me in praying for our liberal neighbor because once he has an encounter with the living Lord Jesus, he won’t be able to hold back all that he has seen and heard. Steve Sneed, I sincerely Let’s remember the apostle appreciate your using your
Fundamental Fear of Faith
gift of prophecy and sharing . . . “Indeed, it is reaching that stage, as the number of believers across the world slowly shrinks and the number of atheists grows.” In doing so, you were actually spreading the message Jesus spoke of in the Gospel of Matthew (that’s the first book in the New Testament) in Chapter 24 with emphasis as you inferred to being verse 22 which reads “And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect’s sake those days shall be shortened.” So I thank you for using your gift of prophecy given to you by Jesus Christ — see Ephesians (10th book in the New Testament), Chapter 4, verses 11, 12 and 13: “So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ.” In the meantime, if you are not too plagued with FFF (Fundamental Fear of Faith), check out these websites: http://www.answersingenesis.org/ http://www.josh.org http://www.morethanacarpenter.info/ (written by Josh McDowell to disprove Christianity) I also invite you to take a mere two hours out of your life and visit the the Richmond Outreach Center for our Saturday’s 6 o’clock ROC service. http://www.theroc.com So don’t be a “flopping chicken,” Mr. Sneed, and I look forward (after your “fearless” research) to reading more of your prophecy gift. Cheers! Tammy Vincent Mechanicsville see LETTERS, pg. 15

New superintendent: a life devoted to education By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com When she starts talking about education, Hanover County Public Schools’ new superintendent is almost like a kid in a candy shop. She is excited and passionate about the path she has taken – and where she will be going in her new role. On Sept. 19, Dr. Jamelle S. Wilson talked to the Pamunkey Woman’s Club about her life, career, challenges and goals. She moved into the superintendent’s office on July 1, becoming the county’s 12th to hold the post. She succeeded Dr. Stewart D. Roberson, a man she calls “a close friend and mentor.” She said she was prepared for the top office in the school district “because of his mentorship and friendship. “But I’m not Stewart,” Wilson added. “We take what we can from other people and how they influence our lives. We take the best and we try to roll it into us.” “I can only do this job the way I know how to do this job — who I am, where I came from.” Wilson’s early years were spent in a rural community in Spotsylvania County, not far from the Hanover County line. She spent much of her youth living with her grandparents. Her childhood found her in a house that she called “limited in what we had access to.” She was 10 before her home had running water. “We didn’t have very much.” Her eyes were opened to the world of teaching and the impact a teacher can make at a young age. One of her teachers introduced her to Richmond and “opened my eyes. That said to me there’s more than what I grew up with. We all have that opportunity, even if it’s something very minor and we don’t believe it makes a difference.” That difference, she added, sometimes comes in

By Reed Williams Media General News Service An 18-year-old Mechanicsville woman died Friday, hours after a two-vehicle wreck at Charles City and Darbytown roads in the Varina area. Justine M. Taylor was driving a Honda Accord south on Charles City Road about 2:15 p.m., when
a Ford Expedition traveling on Darbytown Road struck the driver’s side door of the Honda, causing it to run off the road and strike a utility pole, said Henrico police Lt. C.J. Maurice. Taylor was trapped in the Honda and extricated by Henrico rescuers, Maurice said. She was taken to VCU Medical Center, where she later died.
The driver of the Expedition also was taken to the hospital, but with non-life-threatening injuries. Maurice said both drivers apparently were wearing seat belts. Maurice said the cause of the wreck remained under investigation, but that neither speed nor alcohol appear to have played a role.

to meet business leaders and tell them about the commonwealth. “More and more foreign companies are relocating and coming to Virginia,� he said. “The percentage of new companies coming to Virginia 10 years ago that were foreign was only 15 percent. Today, it’s almost 50 percent.� Cheng used the Rolls Royce plant that recently opened in Prince George County as an example. “Now that the plant is open, we are working to create opportunities for local businesses to become second and third tier contractors in their supply chain and maybe even first tier contractors,� he said. “One thing we need to do is train people to operate the high tech equipment at the plant. “Let me tell you about another example,� he continued. “Several years ago an entrepreneur from Austria spent some time at a European trade fair talking to some people about Botetourt County in Virginia. He liked what he heard, so he came for a visit. The county had the highway (I-81) and other resources he was looking for. He opened his new company there, creating jobs and adding to the economy, and it all started with someone talking to him about Virginia.� He also said the state recently opened a business development office in China and would soon be opening another in India. Cheng said Central Virginia has everything businesses are looking for when it comes to locating a plant or office. “You have interstate highways that go in all directions and the Port of Richmond from which they can send or receive shipments,� he said. “You have the quality of life business and industry owners are looking for, and you have colleges and universities they can network with for research and development.�

Deborah Winans, right, chairman of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, and William Schooley of Clark Nexsen Architecture and Engineering were among the nearly 200 members of the Greater Richmond Chamber of Commerce Regional Business Council who attended a breakfast meeting Thursday at Islamorada Restaurant.
Cheng also shared a story about a company looking to maybe relocate to Virginia. “I can’t tell you what state it is or the governor’s name, only that this has to do with a state in the northeast section of the country,� he said. �A factory owner was talking to his governor about how hard it was becoming to do business. The governor told him that he had a solution for him, and the solution was to outsource a substantial number of jobs to another country. This was not the answer he was looking for and now he’s talking to us. I think we have a good chance of getting him to relocate.� Cheng also talked about partnering with the state to attract business. “When we’re out on a trade mission, we try to have a good idea about what kind of businesses the various municipalities of Virginia would like to attract,� he said.�We want to work with local and regional governments to attract business to their locations that make sense for them and that will benefit the municipality and the business.�

Incumbent ‘one of the good guys’ The Ashland District of Hanover County is privileged to have a quality person as our supervisor. Ed Via is that person and he leads by example. I have worked closely with Ed over the past several years on Rotary projects and on Ashland Street Parties. When I asked for volunteers to work for the street parties, Ed called and asked what can I do and what time do you need me there? This was long before he thought of running for public office. We have a bridge named for one of Hanover’s fallen soldiers. Ed worked with his fellow board members to honor this citizen who sacrificed his life for our well being. During our work in Rotary, I remember Ed leading the work crews to build break rooms for the workers at one of our local nonprofits because there was no extra money to get this done. In summary, Ed Via is one

had.� “You may have aspirations, but if people don’t see your commitment, they can’t envision you anywhere else,� she said. “It’s not about me, it’s about the children that we serve and their families that send them to us. One adult can make the single most difference in any child.� As superintendent, listening is integral to Wilson’s operating plan. “My listening to other people telling me what they believe is working well,� she said of her weeks at the division’s helm. She said she does consider the future and “where we should be.� She also said she encourages the sharing of ideas, which will help “take us to the next level. We are a high flying
of the good guys. He loves Hanover County and the Ashland District. He doesn’t do things because he has to or wants to put on a show. He does this work because it is the right thing to do and he puts his efforts into serving his constituency the same way. You don’t have to go through anyone to talk to Ed, just look up Via in the phone book and call him. Re-elect Ed Via because he is a proven leader who has quietly kept Hanover County on the path which provides a great living environment for us all. Hank Lowry Ashland
Science, faith not mutually exclusive I read with great interest the Sept. 14, 2011, “Understanding science� letter regarding science and religion. What a relevant topic in today’s world. Since science values questioning and examining evidence, it would be fair to examine two of the implied claims within that letter, to present readers a differing view. school division. If we rest on the laurels, on the accomplishments that we’ve already achieved, everybody else is going to try to get where we are.� She said it is not a competition, but “it’s about serving our community.� Before being named superintendent, she served as assistant superintendent for Instructional Leadership. Her resume also includes principal, assistant principal, curriculum specialist and classroom teacher in the county school system. She also was a principal in Caroline County Public Schools. Wilson and her husband of 19 years, James, make their home in the western part of Hanover County. They have two sons: Miles, 18, a Liberty Middle School student, and Grant, 8, who attends South Anna Elementary School.
First is the claim that the only people that still adhere to religion are either indoctrinated or intellectually lazy. History records that from the past and into the present day, there has been an impressive group who are at the same time intellectually vigilant, highly scientific, and people of faith. Many of the foremost scientists of their day have been people of faith, in the midst of an already-existing atheism. Copernicus, Kepler, Descartes, Pascal, Newton, Boyle, Faraday,
Pasteur, Lord Kelvin, James Clerk Maxwell, and Max Planck are a few devout scientists that come to mind. It was not simply that they were scientists in one realm and people of faith in another, but rather, as Sir Alfred North Whitehead (who co-authored Principia Mathematica with Bertrand Russell) pointed out, men became scientific because they expected law in nature and they expected law in nature because they believed in a

LETTERS Continued from pg. 15
lawgiver. Max Planck agreed, stating, “There can never be any real opposition between religion and science; for the one is the complement of the other. Every serious and reflective person realizes, I think, that the religious element in his nature must be recognized and cultivated if all the powers of the human soul are to act together in perfect balance and harmony. And indeed it was not by accident that the greatest thinkers of all ages were deeply religious souls.” In more recent years we have the Wright brothers, Dr. Arthur Garnes (the first black plastic surgeon in America and someone I have been privileged to know personally), astronomer and engineer James Irwin (eighth man on the moon), Dr. Ben Carson (current cirector of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins whose autobiography “Gifted Hands” is highly inspirational), and current NIH director Francis Collins. Clearly, while examining the work of each of these people, a reasonable mind cannot accuse them of being unscientific or intellectually lazy. One may disagree with their faith, but it is indisputable that each one has provided tremendous advancements to their fields of science and technology, and benefits to the world at large. A second unbalanced implication in the “Understanding science” letter is that atheism is inherently more scientific than

faith. We need to be aware of and honest about our limitations in this wonderful and absolutely necessary pursuit of science. Though he was not a particularly religious man, Albert Einstein wrote, “I’m not an atheist and I don’t think I can call myself a pantheist. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many different languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn’t know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see a universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws, but only dimly understand these laws.” (This
is only an excerpt of the quote for sake of space.) Einstein said it wisely. On a personal level, I am a professional civil engineer, and many of us who are currently in the scientific world echo this sentiment and see a complementary harmony between science and faith. This reality has been reinforced to me each time I have designed a roadway, subdivision, storm drain system, or an underground stormwater management facility amidst a plethora of existing utility lines. It would be amazing if those elements of land development could come together on their own without my time, effort and creativity, but I have never seen that happen. In my industry we also use cutting-edge 3D modeling software to assist in our designs.
This software is extremely powerful and complex, and it would be illogical at best and an insult to the designers to say that the code for this software could have written itself. And yet, that is exactly the implication made when someone indicates that faith is irrelevant and that we need to move past the idea of God. Ultimately, I have much more respect for people who objectively admit that it is a matter of the heart: that they don’t want to consider the possibility of a designer because that implies human accountability to someone. That, at least, is intellectually honest. But to say that science and faith are necessarily and by nature at odds is neither honest nor wise. Randa Landis Mechanicsville

early June, she said the designation came as a surprise. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had no idea. They told us that we were coming in for a faculty shot. We went to the library because it was so hot that week they thought we would meet in there, and then, once everybody was together, we would head out to the playground.â&#x20AC;? She said they were seated talking, when, about 3 p.m., then-superintendent Dr. Stewart D. Roberson, her husband Chris, her mother Stephanie Case and her brothers and sisters, Brian, Stephen, Kelly and Jackie Walsh, arrived. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Once I saw them, I realized what it was â&#x20AC;&#x201D; everyone said my face got really pale and then turned bright red.â&#x20AC;? Mullenaux received the support of her fellow faculty members at Mechanicsville Elementary for the county title. After the in-school balloting, she submitted a portfolio to the School Board office.
She was called in for an interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was pretty nervous about it. Once I went in, I realized how friendly they were and everyone was smiling.â&#x20AC;? Her decision to become a teacher was not surprising. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People remember when I was little playing with my kids, my imaginary students, so I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something I had in the back of my mind I always wanted to do.â&#x20AC;? A Virginia Tech graduate, Mullenaux is certified in prekindergarten through sixth grade. She said she may pursue a degree in administration, but admits â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m really happy where I am right now.â&#x20AC;? A native of Loudoun County, Mullenaux met her husband, who is from Midlothian, at Tech. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We actually got married at the chapel there at Tech.â&#x20AC;? Chris works for Altria. They make their home in Hanover County. Community service is important to her. Last year, she helped organize the silent auction for the Mechanicsville Miler. The annual fundraiser is a run/walk to help her school.
The 2011 event is scheduled for Saturday, Oct. 29. Mullenaux said she has been influenced by many people throughout her life. Since coming to MES, two teachers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tamara Letter and Teri Donnelly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;have helped me grow professionally and become the teacher that I am.â&#x20AC;? She also attributes her success to the school administration, calling the leadership â&#x20AC;&#x153;very open to new ideas and trying innovative instructional strategies. I think Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really thrived in that environment, being able to generally do whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best for the students.â&#x20AC;? In addition to the county and regional honors, Mullenaux received a car from Michael Patrick of Patrick Auto Group in Ashland. She was allowed to select her vehicle of choice and will have use of it during her reign as Hanover Countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s top teacher. Patrick made the presentation on Sept. 20 at Mechanicsville Elementary. Linda M. Scarborough, Hanover County Public Schools communication specialist, contributed to this article.

Hanover runs through overwhelmed Deep Run
Kenny Moore for The Local
Lawrence Jones of Hanover (4) gets to the outside and goes for a 30 yard run. Jones finished the game with 159 yards rushing.
By Dave Lawrence Special Correspondent Despite having to run on a field the consistency of sponge cake, Hanover High School’s Lawrence Jones anchored a devastating running attack, carrying the ball 24 times for 159 yards and three touchdowns to lead the Hawks to a 38-7 victory over host Deep Run Saturday night.

The game was originally scheduled to be played Friday, but was postponed because of the weather. The divots seen nearly everywhere on the field after the game suggested the postponement was a good call. The sod felt more like the surface of a bog than a football field. But that did not faze the Hawks (3-0), who struggled to offer quarterback Sam Rogers

much protection against the Wildcats’ pass rush – Rogers was sacked three times – but who did a better job of opening holes for Jones and Rogers on the run. “Offensively, I was not happy with the game,” said Hanover coach Josh Just. “They did some great things against us. I thought they were prepared for us. They made some great adjustments and had an outstanding game

plan.” Just was happy with Jones’ performance, however. “I thought L.J. did a pretty good job,” Just said. “He had a couple of touchdowns for us, ran hard and was aggressive. I thought he really picked it up for us in the second half.” Hanover’s defense played a
major role in the lopsided score. Deep Run turnovers led to three of Hanover’s five touchdowns – one by the defense itself, when defensive back Xavier Crocker snagged Wildcat quarterback Wilson Vaughn’s pass and returned it 63 yards for a score early in the second half. The Hawks’ second touch-
down followed their first pick – by linebacker Rashard Thornton in the first quarter. Thornton returned the ball 22 yards to the Deep Run 18. Rogers and Jones shared running responsibilities, taking five plays to score on a 2-yard run by Rogers. Hanover’s fifth score folsee HANOVER, pg. 39 `

age. That’s something we cannot do.” Hanover’s first touchdown came on their second possession, driving 65 yards to score on a 25-yard run by Jones. Their final touchdown began on their 41. After a couple of short gains, Jones broke free for a 44-yard gain to the Wildcat 11. He scored on the next play. Hanover placekicker Matt Palmen was 5-for-5 in conversion attempts. He also kicked a 22-0 yard field goal in the second quarter. Deep Run’s 0-3 record represents an uncharacteristic start for a Wildcat season. But McLeod was happy with his team’s persistence.
Tomato Bowl filled with soup Due to heavy rains and the forecast of further thunderstorms, the 2011 Tomato Bowl at Patrick Henry was postponed to Monday, Sept. 26. Patrick Henry hosted LeeDavis after this week’s press deadline. For coverage of the game go to www.mechlocal. com.

David Crytser of Hanover (42) is determined not to let go of a potential tackle.

lowed a fumble by Vaughn at the Wildcats’ 25. After backing up five yards for a delay-of-game penalty – one of three the Hawks incurred that night – Jones ran 28 yards to the 2-yard line and scored one play later on a 1-yard run. “We turned the ball over,” said Deep Run coach Matt McLeod. “Against a good team that’s well coached, if you turn the ball over as many times as we did tonight, you’re not going to win.” Despite the turnovers, Just had problems with the defense’s performance at times. Blown coverage led to Deep Run’s only touchdown, a 31-yard pass from Vaughn to Skyler Stone late in the third quarter. The touchdown was set up by an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty on the Hawks’ defense. “I thought we played well at times. I thought defensively we did some good things,” Just said. “But even at the end, we don’t make the play that we should have. We give up a touchdown – we have a personal foul, then after that, we come back and are undisciplined in our cover-

Hanover slams Lee-Davis toward first loss Tall Hawks squad sweeps C-feds By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com On Tuesday night, the Hanover boys volleyball team used size and power to hand rival Lee-Davis their first loss of the season in straight sets, 2512, 25-17, 25-23. The Confederates came into the match with a substantial height disadvantage facing a Hawks team that is one of the tallest in the region. During August’s Showcase Tournament, Hanover head coach Mike Rohr quickly recognized his squad could have an edge over much of their competition. “When we were at the tournament I thought there maybe two or three teams that were about the same size as us, maybe a little bit bigger than us, but other than that I thought we were one of the bigger teams,” he said. The Hawks stumbled in the early season tournament mainly due to experimentation but now they appear to have the upper hand against their opponents. The opposite holds true for a Lee-Davis that has used skill rather than size to get off to a quick start. Other than Abdiel Bolden, the tallest C-fed was smaller than virtually every Hanover player. “At this point we know that a lot of the teams we’re going to face are going to be taller and stronger than us so it’s more of a mental game now,” said head coach Sally Smith. “We’re going to have to deal with and overcome seeing those guys jump higher and be stronger than us. So it’s a mental game.” Facing Hanover, Smith believes her C-feds did not meet that challenge. “We didn’t

play up to par,” she said. “We didn’t play up to our potential. We gave them a lot of points. They’re very athletic and they’re very strong and they’re a good team but we just didn’t play the way we needed to.” The Hawks are getting a huge boost this season with the return of William Atwood. After starting as a freshman and sophomore, Atwood took a year off to try his hand at football. As a senior, he has returned to the volleyball team improved from the experience. “I think he’s really matured a lot and he’s come back very focused and really energized and physically stronger,” Rohr said. “He just makes everybody else better around them. So we’re just going to feed off of him and they’re going to feed off each other and it’s a lot of fun to watch.” Atwood finished the match with 16 kills and two blocks but felt he was not on top of his game. “I played really sloppy but my teammates were constantly

there to pick me up,” he aid. “They just helped me raise my level of play tonight and I feel like that’s why we were successful.” It is the team performance that will give Hanover a solid chance to via for a Capital District title. Drew Hazelgrove turned in a solid all around performance with 12 kills, four digs and five aces. “Drew’s probably one of the smartest players we’ve ever had come through here,” Rohr said. “He showed it a couple of times tonight where the kid came out to block him and he hit it off the outside of the block and the next time the kid came way outside to get him and he cut it down the middle. He is tough to stop. He doesn’t have a physical presence like William does but he can kill it with the best of them. The Hawks also got solid performances from setter Hunter Locks, who finished with 38 assists and six aces and teammate Tyler Peck who was
equally impressive on the front line. “Peck has just worked his tail off in the off season,” Rohr said. “He only started playing as a sophomore and he has really come out and really wanted to make himself a player. I think you’re going to see as the year goes on he’s really going to dominate the middle against the teams that we play. His vertical is out the roof. He’s really added to his physical presence with a lot of smart play and he’s a great leader out there.” The Hawks came out of the gate taking no prisoners, racing out to a quick 6-1 lead over Lee-Davis that expanded to 17-9. The C-feds were in position to take advantage of Hawk miscues when a service error and line violation pulled them back within six, 18-12. But a back line kill from Hazelgrove brought Dylan Renick to serve and the Hawks reeled off the final seven points of the set. Lee-Davis showed more fight in the second pulling out to a 3-1 lead when suddenly the
wheels fell off for both teams. Only one of the next seven serves made it into play. Three service errors by each team pulled Hanover within one, 6-5. In all there were a combined 15 service errors in the set. “My biggest pet peeve is when we give the other team points,” Smith said. “We had some momentum going and we were catching on and we made mistakes that were very detrimental to our squad.” Still it took the Hawks a while to take advantage. “We always talk about controlling the pace of the game and that just kills you when you’re giving the ball back and forth to each other,” Rohr said. “There’s really no flow and it really got like that for a little bit that’s why I was kind of happy that we got a couple in a row and kind of got the flow going back our way.” Hanover eventually knotted the game at nine on a block from Peck and Locks. They then took the lead on a kill from Hazelgrove. A kill from Lee-Davis’ Will Caudell momentarily halted the run but after the teams once again traded service errors, Hanover broke the game open
with a 8-2 run to take the second set. The Confederates put up a battle in the third taking an early 9-7 lead. But Hanover answered with a crossover kill from Carter VanHuss followed by a Brice Pully ace and a block from Locks for a 10-9 lead. Lee-Davis answered with four straight capped by a block from Will Dowdy and Bolden. But trailing 15-13, the Hawks went on a 6-1 run for a 19-16 advantage. Lee-Davis battled back to within one, 2423 but Hanover closed out the match for the win. Though they lost their first match, Lee-Davis’ season is far from over. “I wasn’t expecting to go undefeated and I told the kids from the very beginning we have a lot of things to work on,” Smith said. “This puts it in perspective. We know what we need to work on and were going to try to get better for the rest of the season.” Lee-Davis .......................... 12 17 23 Hanover.............................. 25 25 25 Highlights: Drew Hazelgrove (H) 12 kills, 4 digs, 5 aces; William Atwood (H) 16 kills, 2 blocks; Hunter Locks (H) 38 assists, 6 aces Records: Lee-Davis n/r, n/r Capital; Hanover 3-1, 2-0
Big 4th quarter sends R-MC to 35-14 win Yellow Jackets move to 4-0 Contributed report
FROSTBURG, MD – The Randolph-Macon College football team scored 21 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to break a deadlock and send the Yellow Jackets to a 35-14 victory at Frostburg State Saturday afternoon. R-MC is now 4-0 for the second straight year, the fourth time since 1985 and the eighth time since 1967. FSU drops to 2-2 on the season. With the score tied at 1414, R-MC took over with 30
seconds remaining in the third quarter and would hold on to the ball for the next 5:09, piecing together a 12play, 74-yard drive that was capped when freshman quarterback Zac Naccarato found Luke Sellers on a nine-yard touchdown pass with 10:28 to go in the game. On FSU’s ensuing possession, Jackets’ linebacker Jeremy Bowry picked off Bobcat Josh Volpe and returned the ball 40 yards to pay dirt to put R-MC 28-14 with just under 10 minutes to go. Frostburg got the ball back and after completing its first pass of the drive, threw three incompletions, giving to ball back Jackets on its 37-yard
line after a punt. R-MC put the game away, running nine plays and taking 4:32 off the clock on the drive. Thaddeus Scruggs rushed the ball for 37 yards on the drive including a 12-yard scamper that pushed the Jackets lead to 35-14 with just over four minutes to go in the game. The Yellow Jackets got an efficient 12-of-15 passing day from Naccarato, including two touchdown throws. Drake Sanders finished the game with 100 yards and a score on the day, while Scruggs had 44 yards and a score. Sellers led the receiving corps with 93 yards on three grabs, including two scores while Christian Cook had four catches for 41
yards. The Jackets defense was led by David Fetter (LeeDavis) who had nine tackles. Brandon Harrison made eight stops as well. Bowry finished the game with seven tackles, a fumble recovery and the interception return. R-MC had 338 yards of offense on the day, with 152 of that coming via the ground game on 52 attempts. The Jackets held possession of the ball for 33:24, including 10:05 in the fourth and decisive quarter. Bobcat senior quarterback Josh Volpe led the offense with 206 yards passing and a touchdown to junior wideout Anthoney Young that gave
the hosts an early 7-0 lead in the first quarter. Freshman tailback JD Hook came up nine yards short of his secondstraight 100-yard game. He finished with 91 yards on 22 carries. He also caught three passes for 55 yards. Randolph-Macon begins ODAC play this Saturday in Ashland when it hosts Emory & Henry at 1:00 p.m.

Hampden-Sydney comeback not enough #14 Tigers suffers first loss of the season 34-27 Contributed report
M O N T G O M E RY, AL-Despite outscoring Huntingdon 15-0 in the second half, #14 HampdenSydney was unable to climb out of its 34-12 halftime deficit which resulted in a 34-27 loss. With the loss, the Tigers fall to 3-1 while Huntingdon improves to 3-1. The Tigers (3-1) came out with two plays to Kirk Rohle (Hanover) for 10 and 13 yards to begin their march. An incomplete pass and two sacks, however, forced H-SC to punt. Huntingdon (3-1) capitalized with a 77-yard drive lasting just 55 seconds to take the early lead. After the two teams traded interceptions, Huntingdon
doubled the lead as Parker Roberts rushed into the end zone to take the 14-0 advantage. Hampden-Sydney hit its groove on the ensuing drive, taking just over four minutes to go 60 yards on 12 plays. The drive was capped off with a 4yard scamper from quarterback Travis Lane (Mills Godwin). The Tigers failed to convert on the extra point attempt keeping the score at 14-6. Huntingdon fired right back, taking its drive into the second quarter, where a Tyler Hall 7-yard touchdown reception from Neal Posey put the Hawks up 21-6. The back-and-forth offensive battle continued as the Tigers fought back. The H-SC scoring drive started on a good note with Lane hitting Rohle for 26 yards. Nine plays later, Lane rushed into the end zone again for his second score of the day. The Tigers’ two-point conversion attempt failed, and
H-SC trailed 21-12. Posey struck again on the ensuing Hawk drive, though, to put his team up 27-12. Backto-back Hawk interceptions kept the Tigers out of the end zone, but Posey was able to hit Cody Pearcy for a 49-yard touchdown and a 34-12 lead. Although the first half was all offense, the defenses buckled down after halftime to limit the touchdowns. After a combined five unsuccessful drives, the Tigers were able to break the drought as senior Kyle Vance caught his first touchdown reception of the day on a 5-yard pass from Lane. After Evan King ran in the two-point conversion attempt, the Tigers cut the Hawk lead to 34-20. As Hampden-Sydney desperately needed a stop in the fourth quarter, sophomore Zach Morgan came up with an interception to foil the Hawks. Eight minutes later, Lane and Vance hooked up in the
end zone again - this time for a 27-yard strike to come within seven points at 34-27 with 2:43 remaining. The Tiger defense did what it needed to do, forcing the Hawks into a three-and-out to give the Tigers one last shot. Huntingdon, however, came up with its fourth interception of the day as Trammell DeJarnett picked off the Tigers’ touchdown attempt in the end zone. On the day, HampdenSydney amassed 437 yards of offense via 338 passing and 99 rushing but was hampered by five turnovers. Rohle accounted for 188 yards of offense on 82 rushing yards and 106 receiving yards on a game-high 13 receptions. Vance tallied a game-high 113 yards and two touchdowns on 11 receptions. Lane completed 35 of his 63 attempts with 338 yards, two touchdowns, and four interceptions. He also scored two touchdowns on the ground.
Defensively, junior Kenny Fryman (Hanover) tallied ten tackles. Sean Stewart and Alex Price each tallied seven. Shreve Rohle (Hanover) had five tackles. Huntingdon was led by Posey’s 236 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions on 17-of-29 accuracy. Trevor Manuel led the rushing attack with 74 yards on 25 carries. Pearcy caught four passes for 100 yards and three touchdowns. Kirk Johnson led all players with 12 tackles.

Raiders roll past undefeated Confederates Atlee girls battle injuries and pressure to down LD 3-0 By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The Atlee girls volleyball team may have been hampered by nagging injuries but they showed few ill effects in a threegame sweep of rival Lee-Davis on Thursday night. The Raiders fought off an early challenge from the previously unbeaten Confederates and rolled to a dominating win by the third set. “We’re still a little banged up,” said Atlee head coach Curtis Carpenter. “My second setter’s playing libero because her ankle’s still messed up… And (Hailey) Brooks has only started practicing one day because she strained a muscle in her abs.” Despite being in the first month of the season, Atlee has played 15 games prior to facing Lee-Davis. In comparison, the Confederates only have five games under their belts. Lee-Davis came into the contest unbeaten but like Atlee also suffering setbacks to due injury. Starting middle Christina Penzer was out with a hamstring pull forcing Caroline Naumann into active duty despite having recently returned from injury herself. “We have a middle that’s a little bit inexperienced out there now,” head coach Sharon Gaston said of Naumann. “And going against a team like (Atlee), that’s a thing to put up against an inexperienced middle.” Lee-Davis hung tough with Atlee through the early first set, battling to a 9-9 tie and trailing 11-10 when the Raiders started to roll. A block from Kayliegh Moody (9 kills, 2 blocks) brought Meg Bowers to

serve and Atlee reeled off four straight points. A kill from Lee-Davis’ Meghan Trice (5 kills, 3 digs) and ace from Jordan Goodman pulled the C-feds to within three, 15-12, but Atlee regained control, thanks to encouragement from their coach, when back to back aces from Moody forced a Confederate timeout. “I kind of gave them an earful because their enthusiasm was in the wrong place,” Carpenter said. “Then I thought our game started picking up from there.” Moody agreed with her coach’s assessment. “The first game was a little rough,” she said. “I feel like we went in there a little nervous and tense but then after a while, the second game was better, the third game nerves were gone and we were ready to play.” With Brooks showing little ill effect from her ab injury, the Raiders ran off four straight points on another Brooks’ ace, two kills from Katy Stiles and one from Moody. They then

traded points with the C-feds to pull out a 25-15 win. “I thought our girls came in and played very hard,” Gaston said. “I think they gave them a little bit of a run in the first game.” Lee-Davis held a 4-3 lead in game two when the Raiders went on a similar roll. With sophomore Rachel Stanford (10 assists, 5 aces, 2 digs) behind the line, Atlee scored seven straight to take a 10-4 lead. “She’s doing a real good job,” Carpenter said of Stanford. “She came in projected probably as our third setter but she’s playing solid. We played her across the front row too and she was holding her own. She is probably one of our best blockers too.” Trice momentarily stopped the bleeding for LD, but Karlie Suber served up three more points for the Raiders and a 14-5 lead. An ace from Moody widened the margin to 20-10 and the home team closed out the contest 25-13. Atlee didn’t give Lee-Davis
much of a chance in the third set running out to an 8-1 lead with Brooks at serve. Leading 12-3, Stanford returned for a dominating turn at serve as Atlee ran off 10 straight points as part of a 13-1 run, closing out the match 25-5. Not showing service as powerful as last season state semifinalist squad, Atlee was still dauntingly efficient finishing the night with 15 aces. “They have a few servers that really get on top of the ball and it drops and that’s a really tough serve to pass,” Gaston said. “We do have good passers on our team, we just need to take another step up that we normally wouldn’t and get under the ball.” After a hard fought five set battle to beat Hanover on Tuesday night, Gaston felt her Confederates may have been suffering from an emotional drain facing their second rival in three days. “This is our hardest week
of the season- Hanover, Atlee,” she said. “I was very proud of them. I thought they came in and played hard and did not give up.” Though they have grabbed the upper hand in the Capital District, the Atlee players still feel pressure to surpass last year’s success. “There’s always pressure on us and coach tries his best to not let it get to our heads and us get big headed,” Moody said. “So there’s a ton of pressure on us right now. “It’s from everyone,” she
added. “(The) team wants you to do good. The school wants you to do good. Your parents want you to do good. Other teams, they’re like we’re the team to beat. It’s like there’s pressure everywhere.” Lee-Davis........................... 15 13 5 Atlee................................... 25 25 25 Highlights: Jordan Martin (LD) 5 assists, 2 digs; Meghan Trice (LD) 5 kills, 3 digs; Becca Lass (LD) 2 kills; Kayleigh Moody (A) 9 kills, 2 blocks, 2 digs, 2 aces; Katy Stiles (A) 5 kills; Rachel Stanford (A) 10 assists, 5 aces, 2 digs Records: Lee-Davis 5-1, 3-1 Capital; Atlee 13-3, 4-0
