STOPS AT EVERY HOME IN TOWN

Most support school district’s budget goals By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com While praise and support for the superintendent’s proposal dominated the pre-budget hearing during the Oct. 12 Hanover County School Board meeting, one speaker took issue with salaries, particularly that of Dr. Stewart D. Roberson.

Gerry Baugh said he wanted to talk about “the high salaries of some of the people on the board and mainly our superintendent.” He said Roberson’s salary is about $240,000, which includes $46,000 in compensation. He then compared enrollment numbers between Hanover, 18,000, and Chesterfield County, 58,000, not-

ing the superintendent of the latter, Dr. Marcus Newsome, had a base salary of $207,000 before agreeing to a 7 percent pay cut last year. Baugh said Gov. Bob McDonnell’s salary for 2010 is $166,250, “with responsibilities for more than 100,000 state workers and all services offered to residents in the state of Virginia.”

He said Fairfax County has the 12th largest school system in the nation, with its superintendent, Jack D. Dale, employed with a contract for $292,469. Baugh said Dale manages 22,000 employees in a district with 173,000 students (the website, http://www.fcps. edu, lists a figure of 175,296 for the

2010-2011 term). The budget for the division is $2.2 billion. “I think the teachers of this county are doing a tremendous job and I commend them,” he added. He closed his comments by saying “The School Board and the administrative side are getting totally out of hand. I think the see BUDGET, pg. 13 `

“I

love the experience” is how Abigail George summed up her debut into the world of pageants. On July 11, she participated in the Nationals’ 2010 Miss Jr. Preteen Richmond Pageant at the Carpenter Theatre at CenterStage in Richmond. While it may have been her first venture into pageants, Abigail captured second runner-up in her division. The 8-year-old was more than satisfied with her showing in her first pageant: “I think I did pretty well.” She said she especially enjoyed “hanging out with the girls.” Another bonus, she said, was making new friends with the other contestants. “I love making friends,” which she said was her favorite part of the pageant process. Dressing up like a princess also was appealing to Abigail. “I loved the formal wear; I wore a pink Cinderella dress.” Her mother, Lisa, pointed out that the ABIGAIL gown was flamingo GEORGE pink. To continue into the pageant, Abigail went through an interview with judges. Those scores enabled her to advance to the pageant. She also liked taking part in the casual wear portion. “I ripped off my hat,” showing how she tossed her shoulder-length hair. For the pageant, her hair flowed with curls. While talent is a part of that particular pageant, Abigail wants to pursue a singing career. A favorite song is “He Reigns” by Newsboys.

Abigail George said she felt like Cinderella in a gown her mother Lisa described as flamingo pink. She holds the trophy and flowers she received as second runnerup in the 2010 Miss Jr. Preteen Richmond Pageant.

Typical for her age, Abigail also is a fan of Miley Cyrus and likes to sing “Every Rose Has Its Thorn.” When she isn’t thinking about her newfound enthusiasm for pageants, Abigail likes to rollerskate and iceskate. “Me and Taylor (Little, her best friend) do play Barbies sometimes,” she added. Other interests include Justin Bieber “and I like the laptop and the iPad and iPod.” Abigail also is the daughter of Mike George of Hanover. “I’m the baby,” she said when asked if she has siblings. She has two brothers, Justin and Noah. She is a third grade student at Rural Point Elementary School and said reading is her favorite subject. Now that she has a pageant “under her belt,” Abigail has her sights set on “a big one in Florida” in December.

Chimp incident dominated county meeting By Katherine Calos Media General News Service Chimpanzees have a way of stealing the show, even when they’re not on the agenda. That’s why the most talked-about item from last Wednesday’s meeting of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors is likely to be a resident’s concern about the primates at Windy Oaks Animal Farm in Mechanicsville. Carl Davis, who spoke during Citizens’ Time, is a neighbor of the

private zoo, from which six chimps escaped July 21. During the incident, Windy Oaks owner Curtis Shepperson was able to get the four females back inside but called for help to recapture the two males. One male chimp remained out overnight. Davis said he received a letter from Shepperson saying that Shepperson has applied for a conditional-use permit to keep four of the chimps on his farm. Two of the chimps from the summer have been returned to other

owners, Davis said. Shepperson has had primates at his farm since the 1990s and has allowed groups to visit. Davis asked the supervisors to “give serious thought to this permit because if anything serious happens as a result of these animals getting loose, the county will also be deemed culpable.” After the meeting, Davis said noise is also an issue because he can hear the monkeys from his property. Escaped primates have strayed onto

board. “It has become apparent that the county is not monitoring this situation close enough. There have been several escapes, and the owner has been less than professional in the way in which he has aided in the capture.” If Shepperson closes the facility to the public, Davis said, “it does away with any need to have these animals at this location, if indeed there was ever a need in the first place.” A phone message seeking comment from Shepperson was not returned.

When animal-control officers and people from the zoo came to his house, the monkey opened its mouth as if to bite and Davis saw “canine teeth much longer and larger than any large breed of dog,” Davis wrote in a letter to the editor. “I feel it was ill-advised for you to place a facility of this nature in rural Hanover County,” Davis said to the

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

Salvation Army’s Red Kettle Campaign needs volunteers Christmastime in a small town was magical: lights, greenery and ornaments were found in every imaginable location to decorate. Storefronts came alive with the sights of the season. And the sound of bells ringing echoed down the streets. That sound brings back fond memories of the holiday season. The Salvation Army Red Kettle Campaign is a staple in communities across the nation. Memories of keeping a steady pace as a bellringer volunteer with civic and church organizations come to mind. Despite the temperature (and sometimes it was really cold!), knowing what a difference those donations would make was quite an incentive. It was so satisfying when a shopper would drop some cash in the kettle to support the cause. While you will see bellringers stationed at various retail stores, a familiar spot in my hometown was in front of G.C. Murphy (also known as “The Dime Store” — now I’m really showing my age!). This location was pretty much in the heart of the downtown. Once again, The Salvation Army is gearing up for its Red Kettle Campaign and you can help. Jeff Baldwin, public relations director for The Salvation Army, said, “This year, more than ever, volunteers will be critical to the overall success of our Red Kettle Campaign.” Sadly, he said, “On any given day, over half of our sites are silent with no one there to ring the bell. Every penny, nickel, dime and dollar bill adds up, but without volunteer manpower, we can’t possible reach our goal.” This year’s campaign will kick off on Friday, Nov. 12, and continue through Friday, Dec. 24 (Christmas Eve). Funds raised through the Red Kettle Campaign provide assistance to thousands of children and families and support the programs and services of The Salvation Army throughout the year. If you’d like to volunteer, call Capt. Natalie Sayre at 433-1684 or register online at www.registertoring.com/centralvirginia. The sounds of those bells mean so much to so many at Christmas. Will you help? Melody Kinser

Campus beautification and improvement continues with the assistance of Mechanicsville businesses, alumni and the members of our greater school community. Our fall sports teams are in the midst of a successful season, clubs and organizations are well under way, and students are actively engaged in learning. We welcome Sheehy Nissan as our newest business partner and sponsor of the Vantage Point. With regard to school safety and security, recent events in the news have compelled us to continually address concerns related to the safety of our

Good News & Celebrations... We are happy to recognize seniors Robert “Fowler” Evans and Philip S. Ivanhoe as Commended Students in the 2011 National Merit Scholarship Program. Commended students represent some of the most academically talented students in the country, placing among the top five percent of more than 1.5 million students who participated. Fowler and Philip have received certificates and congratulations on their achievement. Lee-Davis has been designated a Virginia Naturally School for the second year. Virginia Naturally Schools is the official environmental education school recognition program of the Commonwealth, administered by the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries with support from the Department of Education, Department of Environmental Quality and other resource agencies. This program recognizes the wonderful efforts of many Virginia schools to increase the environmental awareness and stewardship of our youngest citizens. In addition, The Lee-Davis Outdoor Classroom has been certified as an official Monarch Butterfly Waystation by Monarch Watch. Monarch waystations are places that provide resources necessary for monarchs to produce successive generations and sustain their migration. The Lee-Davis Outdoor Classroom has been included in the International Monarch Waystation Registry. We received a certificate and sign that identifies the sign as a monarch habitat. Congratulations and thanks to senior Brandon Stroble, who spearheaded and completed a project for his Eagle Scout requirements. He is a member of Troop 523 at Cool Spring Baptist Church. He and several other members of his scout troop constructed four picnic tables for the LeeDavis Outdoor Classroom. This will give the area much-needed seating for students. They also mulched, cleaned up the area and cut the grass. The work was done on two Saturdays during the summer. AP Science students have the opportunity to attend three AP exam preparatory sessions sponsored by the Virginia Advanced Study Strategies (VASS) grant.

Lee-Davis NJROTC… On Friday September 17 L-cadets from the NJROTC unit attended an air show at Naval Air Station Oceana, Virginia Beach, an all-day event. The air show was amazing: it included how flight mechanics and piloting equipment are used at their best, the Navy’s Blue Angles demonstrated how military precision is used during flight, and there was an H-60 Black Hawk helicopter flown by the United States Army. Most of the cadets returned with more knowledge on the military’s aviation, mechanics of flight and overall respect for the men and women training in the Armed Forces. But mainly, the cadets learned about teamwork, dedication, military precision and the motto “Honor, Courage and Commitment.” We at Lee-Davis NJROTC emphasize teamwork and the “can do” attitude. That was the true learning experience of this field trip. (Report by Cadet Nathan Greene, Assistant Public Affairs Officer, Lee-Davis NJROTC.) In September, Lee-Davis’ NJROTC 13-man Orienteering Team captured the competition’s overall winning title, the overall title in the Beginners category, and four individual team medals for winning First and Third Place in the individual Beginners team category at the coveted LT Titan Fall Orienteering Classic, York River State Park, Williamsburg, VA They competed among 14 schools with a total of 114 participants. This was the Unit’s fi rst experience in competitive Orienteering (land navigation). The stellar performance of the 13-man team was outstanding. For many of the cadets, this was their fi rst experience in Orienteering. Although the course was challenging, the five, two-man and one, three-man team persevered through the heat, the swamps and difficult terrain in record time. Noteworthy performances by Cadets Terry Hewell and Gregory Jackson, First Place Beginners category team winners and Cadets Nicholaus Friedhoff and Catherine Schumacher (a cross-over Hanover High Cadet), Third Place Beginners category team winners. However, it certainly took the skills and abilities of the entire team to win the overall competition title—JOB VERY WELL DONE!

IB Corner. . . The IB Biology students participated in a field trip with the Chesapeake Bay Foundation last week where they conducted both abiotic and biotic water quality tests. The students learned how their actions, even here in the Richmond area, affect the Chesapeake Bay. In November, the IB

see Marshall Buckles’ letter in last week’s Mechanicsville Local recognizing Del. Chris Peace as “an outstanding Virginia delegate whose constituents are well served by him.” Countless pages of this newspaper have spent the past 12 months debating and defaming the politics and politicians who challenge the values of almost all of us, on the left the middle and the right, often with good reason. At the end of the day, however, Buckles reminds us that as a young father and community leader, Peace is an excellent representative who should not be swept up in that melee. The Gardasil vaccine opt-out is just one of many examples. Del. Peace always embodies a politic of years gone by. He is a statesmen in the making, reminding us that rational people can disagree and still work to build a more just and compassionate community. If we had more like him, returning our discourse to civility, we would likely all fee better about the direction our country is going. Sometimes we are going to disagree with one another. But even when we disagree we should have the integrity to find a path forward that seeks to serve our community better. Doug Smith Mechanicsville I was not the least bit surprised to

Memories took top billing at Lama Farm By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com hrowing a party for a 300th birthday is no easy feat – but Rich and Linda Wooddy did just that on Saturday, Oct. 9, for their beloved home, Lama Farm. And the result, Linda said, “was a wonderful day filled with laughter, memories and love. There are so many memories of that day.” Descendants of the original owners the LeMay family — Beth O’Leary, Joe Lokey, Jack and Jeananne Turner — returned. “Had it not been for Pierre (Peter) LeMay coming to Virginia from France in 1701, there would be no celebration,” Linda said. “His five years as an indentured servant 300 years ago brought together 100 people to celebrate ‘him’ and the house we believe he built for future LeMays, Andersons, Alexanders, Russells, Justice/Watts, Goldsmiths, Kennedy/ Polanskis and Wooddys.” “We all owe a great deal of gratitude to Peter LeMay and the LeMay family — his legacy lives on at Lama,” Linda added. Rich and Linda bought Lama Farm on McClellan Road in the Old Church area in 1998. And with that purchase came a house and property rich in history. With a long drive leading to the stately farmhouse, the event, which brought together descendants of residents and former residents, provided a sense of “coming home.” Upon arriving, guests “stopped in the front, picked up their name tags and proceeded to walk around back to the patio to be greeted with a glass

of wine and a table filled with hors d’oeuvres.” The menu, according to Linda, included shrimp, stuffed mushrooms and several cheese spreads. “I have never met so many wonderful people,” she added. During the social hour, many of the families went inside the house. The two oldest members of the Alexander family — Claire Alexander Hodnett, the only surviving child of Laura and Willard Alexander, and her sister-in-law, Alice Alexander — sat in Laura and Willard’s bedroom and reminisced about their youth. “They had the full attention of their families and ours,” Linda said. Guests then gathered for a lunch of baked chicken breast, seasoned

potatoes and green beans. The blessing was offered by Pastor Kerry Boggs of the Mechanicsville United Methodist Church. After lunch, the Alexanders presented the Wooddys with what Linda described as “a generous check to purchase a tree to be called ‘The Alexander Tree’ for future generations.” Alice Alexander and her daughter Terry returned the original dinner bell, which hung at Lama for more than 100 years (1854-1959). “The bell has come home. They were very touching moments for us,” Linda said. After a few speeches, introductions and thank yous, Pastor Carter Goolsby of the Mechanicsville

Christian Center prayed a blessing over the house and the families of Lama. Bluegrass music was performed by Allen King, Hud Baldwin and Phil Hughes. ——Owners of Lama include: ☞ Believed to be a house on Chemokin Plantation before it was named Lama — 1710 to 1742 ☞ Charles and Susannah Turner LeMay — 1742 to 1798 ☞ William Turner and Allis LeMay — 1768 to 1798 ☞ Robert Anderson’s father most likely owned Lama and Robert inherited it. Robert married Nancy (LeMay?) who is believed to be the

LeMay for whom Robert Anderson named the house — 1799 to 1854 ☞ William Joseph/Judith Burnette Alexander — 1854 to 1911 ☞ Willard Monroe/Laura Douglas Alexander — 1911 to 1959 ☞ Herman and Mariam Lukhard (they never moved in) — 1959 to 1960 ☞ Edward and Eunice Russell — 1960 to 1980 ☞ Harry and Frances Justice and Carol Watts — 1980 to 1989 ☞ Gregg and Beth Goldsmith — 1989 to 1995 ☞ Shelia Kennedy and Stan Polanski — 1995 to 1998 ☞ Linda and Rich Wooddy — 1998 to present

days of big government are getting out of hand.” The other speakers recommended the budget goals be approved as set forth by Dr. Roberson. Cindy Hartung, representing the Special Education Advisory Committee, thanked the school district for the accomplishments of the past year and urged funding for the Parent Resource Center. She also asked that an investigation be initiated into transportation concerns, specifically afterschool care. The president of the Hanover Professional Educators, Angela Downer, also asked that the budget goals be approved as set forth by the superintendent. She talked about the system maintaining a competitive edge. Her organization will submit results of a member survey focusing on budget goals at the December meeting. Downer said this is the “third school year Hanover County teachers have not received a pay raise. I believe now is the time to award. Costs are not going down and morale is not going up.” With a new school year, Shellie Waldron, president of the Hanover Education Association, said “Everything seems to be in place. But things are different. Colleagues from our buildings are missing due to budget cuts. Things are different. Programs aren’t there for our students.” She asked about programs being cut with the 2011-2012 budget process under way. “How many more support staff and teachers will lose their jobs? Will there be funds for a cost of living raise, or funds for the index pay scale the HEA has been discussing with Dr. Roberson and his senior staff?” She said her organization does not know the answers to those questions. A Virginia Education Association survey conducted during the summer showed

86 percent agreed the role of teachers is more important than ever. “The most concerning issue and most likely to have the most negative effect was the loss of teachers due to the budget cuts.” Another concern, Waldron said, was the increase in class size. “Quality education and full time experienced teachers are what the majority of those surveyed want in the school settings.” She said that quality education also extends to long-term substitutes, with the HEA seeking policy wording for them. “The 20 consecutive day rule significantly impacts the longterm substitutes in the event they or a family member has an illness or something worse when it comes to their pay and how they can survive in their economical situation.”

The HEA, Waldron added, is in the process of developing a survey for members and nonmembers and welcomed input from the school district leaders. Vern Inge, president of the Hanover Education Foundation, expressed his organization’s support for the superintendent’s proposal. He said the class size initiative is “very important,” as is maintaining “our competitiveness in the job market.” He also said it was “important to be able to pay and attract.” Inge encouraged maximizing efficiency. He then responded to Baugh’s comments, saying the district has an “absolutely outstanding superintendent and senior staff. It starts from the top, the School Board itself. We certainly need to continue to attract and retain the best and the brightest.” Representing the Business

Advisory Committee, Owen Matthews said the group supports Roberson’s goals. He also said the district should “support opportunities to improve student information system and reporting system.” He urged school leaders to “create efficiencies, increase classroom learning, take an initiative within the state funding process.” Matthews said the School Board needs “to advocate that the General Assembly not lower K-12 funding levels” and members should “advocate that the General Assembly minimize or eliminate unnecessary regulations which impede classroom learning.” He also said the system should maintain its commitment to encourage public and private partnerships through programs like Partners see BUDGET, pg. 15 `

Hanover County Community Services is the only local government agency in its category to be recognized as a 2010 “Industry Leader” by the National Safety Council. The department’s employees worked 250,529 hours without any time lost to injuries in 2009. Only 81 companies nationwide were honored with the award, which recognizes the top 5 percent of member companies, units and facilities that meet safety criteria. “Receiving the Industry Leader Award is a tremendous accomplishment for director Tim Slaven, the department’s Safety Committee and the entire staff,” Greg Smithson, Hanover County’s safety/risk manager, said. “To complete an entire year without any type of injury is remarkable.” Hanover County and 19 of its departments received the National Safety Council’s Occupational Excellence Award. Departments were the Assessor’s Office, the Commissioner of Revenue’s office, the County’s Attorney’s office, Building Inspection, Communications, Community Resources, Community Services, Finance, Fire/EMS, Fleet Services, Human Resources, Information Technology, Internal Audit, Parks & Recreation, Planning, Public Utilities, Public Works, the Sheriff ’s Office, and Voter Registration.

The Occupational Excellence Achievement Award recognizes participants that have reported injuries and illnesses that involved days away from work. The days missed must be equal to or less than 50 percent of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics rate for its code. Participants also must have had no fatalities during the calendar year. “These awards reflect the hard work that managers and employees have done to create a safe workplace in Hanover County,” Smithson said. “In order to receive this kind of recognition you must have a culture that rewards safe practices.” Hanover County has a Safety Steering Team made up of the departments in the county that typically have the most exposure to hazards because of the jobs that they do. The Safety Steering Team meets twice a year to take a global look at the county’s safety performance and provide input on the future direction of Hanover’s safety program. Hanover Community Services has 11 employees on its Health, Safety and Security Committee: Susan Cunningham, Cheryl Llewellyn, Stacy Johnson-Moore, Florence Watt, Kari Calabria, Sharon Williams, Christine Luchie, Steve Trivett, Dorothy Gibson, Amy Taylor and Angela Ward.

Rabies vaccination clinics set A recent incident in western Hanover County exposed a dog and its owner to rabies. The owner is receiving rabies treatment and the dog, which did not have proven vaccination against rabies, will be euthanized because of the risk. This was the 23rd case of animal rabies in Hanover so far this year. All dogs and cats (including so-called ‘barn cats’) are required by law to be vaccinated for rabies at four months of age. You also must have tags and a valid license proving the vaccination. Hanover Animal Control makes it easy for people to get their pets vaccinated by holding rabies vaccination clinics throughout the fall and winter. Vaccines will be administered at a cost of $7 per dog or cat, significantly less than you would pay normally when taking your pet to the veterinarian for a shot. The clinics will be held: ✓ 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Oct. 30, at the Montpelier Center for Arts and Education at 17205 Mountain Road in Montpelier. ✓ 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 12, at the Mechanicsville Hospital at 7381 Mechanicsville Turnpike. ✓ 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Dec. 11, at Gander Mountain at 10150 Lakeridge Parkway.. ✓ 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 5, 2011, at

the East Hanover Rescue Squad at 8105 Walnut Grove Road in Mechanicsville. At each of these clinics, the veterinarian will administer the shots to the pet at your vehicle without you having to bring the animal inside. The vaccination is good for up to three years unless the pet has never had a rabies vaccination before, in which case it is good for one year. Rabies continues to be a significant public health concern in Hanover County. In the last three years, there have been 89 confirmed cases of animal rabies in the county, and a number of people have had to get expensive rabies shots after being exposed, largely to rabid cats. This year, infected animals have included a cat, a bat, raccoons, skunks and foxes. The incidents have occurred throughout the county, in both suburban and rural areas. If you see any animal that is acting strangely or appears sick, report it immediately to Hanover County Animal Control. The emergency phone number is 365-6140 (or 911). For more information about rabies or the upcoming rabies vaccination clinics in Hanover County, call Animal Control at 365-6485. The Virginia Department of Health has additional information about rabies at this website address: http://www.vdh.virginia.gov/ Epidemiology/factsheets/pdf/Rabies-brochure. pdf

In celebration of their first year anniversary, they purchased a new state-of-the-art front end alignment computer system from Carquest of Mechanicsville. Ronnie Sanderson and Mickey Wilmouth of Mechanicsville Carquest recently visited with Todd and Barbara Atkinson along with their factory-trained ASE certified technicians, Troy Allen and Joey Henderson, to discuss the features of this new piece of equipment. Battlefield Service is a complete auto service facility located right off U.S. 360 and Walnut Grove Road. Shown are, from left, Sanderson, Allen, Wilmouth, the Atkinsons and Henderson.

A kindergarten teacher at Kersey Creek Elementary School, Esther McDermott, shared concerns with the School Board, including reducing class size, making faculty and staff salaries a priority, and reimbursing dual enrollments. She urged the School Board to ask the Hanover County Board of Supervisors to consider a property tax increase. Keeping musical programs in the schools was addressed by Carol Wagner of Montpelier, who said she was speaking on behalf of the Patrick Henry High School band director (Amanda Peters). Wagner listed benefits her children have experienced, especially a son who has Asperger’s syndrome. “Band kept him in school,” she said. A possible area in which to trim the budget, she said, was “do not let these buses go in and out of every cul-de-sac. If they just did the major loop road, it could save time and money on transportation.” (Coming next week: The 2010 Legislative Program.)

The Ugandan Orphans Choir performed before a capacity crowd during the 10:15 a.m. worship service at Northside Baptist on Oct. 10. The children, between the ages of 9 and 12, combined traditional African songs and moving Christian hymns with enthusiastic rhythm and dance that brought the congregation to its feet. During the performance, music director Pam Cross and many others were “volunteered” from the audience to dance with the children. Dr. Jeff Scott, senior pastor of the church, said, “There is no reason for church to be dull. With the music of the drums and the energetic movement of the Ugandan children, every toe was tapping and every face smiling.” Members of the congregation contributed nearly $1,000 to help with the ministry of the Ugandan Orphan’s Choir and assist Childcare Worldwide with feeding programs, medical clinics and education programs for children in the developing world.

Hawks pushed to limit by Confederates No. 2 Hanover escapes Lee-Davis 21-6

By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local By the time Hanover left the Lee-Davis’ football field on Friday night, the Hawks had pulled off a 21-6 victory over their cross-town rivals. But those not in attendance should not be fooled by the 15-point victory margin – the Hawks had quite a battle on their hands.

their running game early and often to defeat the previously unbeaten Raiders 19-9. The key play came when the Raiders’ vaunted defense gave up a 94-yard touchdown early in the game on a busted play. In his first start of the season, Varina junior quarterback Maurice Canady (22 carries, 194 yards) picked up a fumble on a high snap and raced up the middle for the game’s first touchdown. De-Shavon Hayes also contributed to their running efficiency, finishing with 97 yards and a touchdown. Canady scored again in the second quarter. At halftime,

the Raiders were down 13-0 and forced into an uphill battle. Atlee was able to move the ball at times in the first half. However, they were unable to punch it in. Poor execution, according to Johnson thwarted their efforts. On the other hand, Varina was unable to extend their lead against the Atlee defense. “At halftime I told them to stay focused and keep going,” said Atlee Raider head coach Roscoe Johnson. “I tried to tell these guys it’s like a boxing match. We go a couple of rounds with people and see RAIDERS, pg. 41 `

Confederates pluck No. 9 Hawks 3-2 Lee-Davis boys win volleyball war with Hanover By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com

The odds were decidedly against the Lee-Davis boys volleyball team when they hosted Hanover last Thursday night. The Hawks came into the contest ranked No. 9 in the Central Region with only one Capital District loss. Meanwhile the Confederates had struggled throughout the early volleyball season and came into the match with a disappointing 3-5 district record. But when county teams face off against one another, past performances and records go out the window. For over two and a half hours the Hawks and C-feds battled it out in a virtual volleyball war. Despite numerous setbacks and miscues on both sides of the net, neither team was willing to cede defeat. In the end, Lee-Davis overcame a stalwart Hanover effort to take the win 25-23, 15-25, 28-26, 27-29, 15-11. After a sluggish start, Confederate head coach Sally Smith believes her team is playing their best so far this year. “We’re going right where we need to be this time of the season,” she said. “We started off a little slow and we’re escalating to the right point now. “We finally put it all together tonight and had fun while they were playing,” Smith said. “It was a good team win.” And having fun seems to be a key to the Confederates’ success. “When we get serious and play tight that’s the worst part,” Smith said. “We shut down. So we have to stay relaxed and they’ve got to be themselves because if they try to be something they’re not, it’s

not good ,” she laughed. While not wanting to diminish the C-feds win, Hanover head coach Mike Rohr admitted his team simply did not play well throughout. “They deserved to beat us,” he said. “They played better than we did. We weren’t sharp tonight at all. We made a lot of mental errors and didn’t play real clean.” Hanover swept Lee-Davis when the two teams met on Sept. 21, so it’s possible the Hawks were caught off guard by how much the C-feds had improved. “They played a lot better than they played against us the first time,” Rohr said. The first game saw a nipand-tuck battle early but with junior Will Dowdy at serve, LeeDavis reeled off four straight to take a 10-15 lead over the Hawks. Trailing 15-10, Hanover came back on a kill from Drew Hazelgrove, then a pair of aces by Todd Moring bracketed a C-fed lane violation to pull the Hawks within one. Lee-Davis edged back in front 21-16, highlighted by an ace from Coltin Powell and a kill form Ben Turner but once gain Hanover answered to trim the margin to one. The C-feds moved to game point but kills from Hanover’s Cameron Holl and Stephen Alexander threatened to extend the game before Powell took the win for Lee-Davis on a kill, 25-23. The teams switched sides for the second game but momentum stayed on the one end of the court. This time it was Hanover taking 20-12 lead then holding off the C-feds for a 25-15 win. Game three saw the C-feds race out to a seemingly insurmountable 9-1 lead. But the Hawks did not throw in the towel and slowly chipped away. Trailing 11-18, Hanover got

back in the game scoring two points for every one given up to pull within three, 21-24. A kill by Peck was followed by Alexander scoring on two kills and a tip shot to give the Hawks a 25-24 lead which eventually moved to 26-25. Having given up a substantial lead, the situation was not unlike many Lee-Davis has faced throughout the year. “In the past we’ve been getting down on ourselves and we wouldn’t be able to come back, so we’ve been working on that,” Smith said. “We’ve been running drills in practice and I guess they finally paid off. We’ve been working on attitudes and mental thinking most of the time. That’s more than the physical part of the game.”

Lee-Davis found inspiration when a block from Joe Spengler and Powell forestalled the outcome. A Hawks shot into the net put the C-feds at game point and a Hanover miscommunication gave the game to Lee-Davis 28-26. “The fact that we came back and made it a game was pretty impressive,” Rohr said. “We still didn’t play all that great.” Game four brought a see-saw battle. After Lee-Davis raced out to a 3-0 lead, only two points separated the two teams until the end. Knotted at 27, Hanover’s Nick Allen gave the Hawks an advantage on a kill. Then with Hazelgrove at serve, a Lee-Davis

return went out of bounds to knot up the night 2-2 on a 29-27 Hanover win. The tiebreaker saw Hanover take a 9-6 lead, which appeared it would be 10-6 before officials whistled the Hawks for a violation. Lee-Davis took advantage to tie the game at nine on drop shots from Hank Parsley and Turner. The teams were tied at 11 when Lee-Davis was assisted by Hawk miscues to score four straight and take the match on a block from Michael Abbott. “We’ve had so many hard fought matches in the last weeks and it finally comes through on a big team so it kind of boosts us,” Smith said. “Hopefully we

can make it into the districts and go from there.” Rohr was pleased with his team’s effort but not their performance. “We showed a lot of fight,” he said. “But our intensity level wasn’t where it needed to be when we started.” Repeatedly, the Hawks got away from what they do best. “I think it was mainly because of our passing though,” Rohr said. “We didn’t pass the ball very well. “We sort of got into a rut and going to the same spot over and over and over again and they did a good job of recognizing that and taking it away from us,” Rohr said. Despite the loss, Hanover see LEE-DAVIS, pg. 42 `

board with a 30-yard field goal from Joseph Pulisic. In the fourth quarter, Ferguson ran two straight quarterback keepers up the middle

for large gains. The change in strategy seemed to confuse Varina’s interior defense. A few plays later, Ferguson found junior wide receiver Will

McCombs(7 catches, 85 yards, TD) for a 25-yard touchdown. Atlee missed the extra point. The Raiders still had plenty of time left in the game trailing 13-9 with 9:45 left in the fourth quarter. Atlee got the ball back but were unable to get it into the endzone. The Raiders tried a fake punt late in the game but Varinia was ready for them. “We practice all the time on different fakes,” Johnson said of the fake punt. “I knew we had to try something.

However, at the same time he has diversified his message. Former Hanover County Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney and current President of Allen, Allen, Allen and Allen law firm Doug Barry has joined Craven to speak on the legal ramifications in athletics when it comes to EHS. The legal liability of coaches gained national attention last summer when Pleasure Ridge

Park (KY) High School’s Jason Stinson became the first coach to be criminally charged in the heat-related death of 15-yearold football player Max Gilpin. As an ex-FBI agent and exprosecutor, Barry has a diverse understanding of both criminal and civil law in Virginia. With the local law firm, Barry has also spent much time at seminars and public engagements lecturing on legal responsibilities. “I do a lot of speaking on immunity to public servants and things like that,” he said. “This kind of ties in with that.” While Barry’s expertise concentrates on Virginia law, he pointed out that any coach, trainer or assistant coach deemed negligent in a case of EHS would probably be immune to prosecution. “It has to rise to a higher standard of gross negligence,” he said. Likewise, ignoring standard procedures and available information such as denying ath-

eventually we should get them. Varina’s a good ball club. They were prepared for us. They were able to run the ball and we couldn’t stop them.” The second half efforts of Raider senior linebacker Josh Doggett personified Atlee’s effort whenever the opposing team’s offense ventured into scoring position. “We thought we had two formations that they struggled with in the first half,” said Varina head football coach Stu Brown. “We thought we had the advantage. The second half they came back and took those formations from us. Luckily we got those two scores. You get it in their territory and they buckle down. Josh Doggett to me might be the best football player in this region. He single-handley can stop your running game. When we got down there old number 42 was in on every play.” Offensively, Atlee seemed to

The Raiders got on the tion that’s manipulative weight loss.” Another item on Craven’s list attributing to EHS is increasing use of supplements and stimulant drinks such as Red Bull, Monster, etc. On Sept. 22 the VHSL passed an emergency resolution to ban the use of energy drinks during practices or events in Virginia. “Here’s an organization that’s providing leadership to say, ‘the instances of heat related illness and what’s considered energy enhancing drinks- there’s a correlation,” Craven said.

shutout by Midlothian 35-0 last week after getting off to one of its best starts in recent history. Even though it is homecoming for the Raiders, Johnson says the Varina game is over and the Armstrong game is no cake walk. “Mistakes happen,” Johnson said. “These guys are young. They’re in high school not college or the NFL. They gave it everything they got. Armstrong is a good team. It is our homecoming but it is going to be a dogfight. We just got to work hard this week and get prepared. Coach Robinson has done a great job of turning that program around. It is a good Armstrong team coming. “We have to stay focused on what we need to do.”

letes water could lead to gross negligence charges. “There’s no room for interpretation of that the lack of water, dehydration causes death, would rise to the level of gross negligence on the civil side and on the criminal side.” But above all else, both Barry and Craven do not want to see an athlete dying because every means of prevention has not been taken. “We want to get out in front of everybody,” Craven said. “This whole thing is to say; ‘All right, if it didn’t happen in our community, don’t act like it can’t happen because where it’s happening the coaches were just as good of coaches as what we have here.” The pair have already made a short presentation before the Henrico County School Board and are attempting to set up a more in-detail presentation to the Hanover County School Board.

HAWKS Continued from pg. 38 b

Hanover every bit of it. Nevertheless, Hanover, ranked No. 2 in the TimesDispatch poll, remained undefeated and on top of the Capital District standings with a 3-0 Capital, 6-0 overall record. Hanover was led by Deane Cheatham with 22 carries for 116 yards and three touchdowns. Quarterback Sam Rogers completed 6-of-9 passes for 65 yards and ran for 51 yards more. His counterpart, Israel Vaughan led Lee-Davis with nine completions in 18 attempts for 101 yards and two interceptions. Though injury-plagued, the Confederates (1-2, 2-4) proved from the start that they were not going to be pushovers, stopping Hanover on downs on the Hawks’ first two drives. Hanover managed to score on its third drive late in the second quarter, but those 7 points – from a 1-yard run by Cheatham and point-after by Matt Palmen – were all the Hawks could manage until the final minutes of the game. “We knew this was coming,” said Hanover coach Josh Just. “I wish I was shocked, but I’m not.” The critical difference may have been snapping woes on the part of Lee-Davis. A bad snap cost it an extra point when it had a chance to tie the game in the

third quarter, and bad snaps led to fumbles and losses – though fortunately none for turnovers – that snuffed the life out of drives when the Confederates seemed ready to score. “They could have easily beat us,” Just said. “It’s not so much that we didn’t play well, it’s that they played extremely well.” The two teams were closely matched. Hanover had 12 first downs and 271 yards total offense. Lee-Davis had

13 first downs and 202 yards total offense. The main differences were in turnovers – the Confederates had two interceptions in the final four minutes of the game that doomed their comeback hopes – and lost yardage. The Hawks had two plays that lost nine yards on two plays, while the Confederates had eight plays that lost 46 yards. Having already defeated Highland Springs and Varina,

Just said that Lee-Davis was the most physical team his Hawks had faced all year. The compliment was one that Confederate coach Zac Hayden appreciated. But he said his team was still disappointed with the loss. “They’re down,” Hayden said. “Anytime you lose, and you lose to a rival, and you lose the way we did – in a hard-fought game, just at the end we couldn’t finish it to win – it’s going to be hard on you.

the game.” The Confederates scored on the first drive of the third quarter on a 35-yard run by Emmit Atkins with 9:12 left, but the point-after attempt failed. Hanover failed to mount much of a response, and Lee-Davis kept a long drive going despite three fumbles. The third fumble, which led to a loss of 11 yards, kept the Confederates out of the end zone, and their 35-yard field goal attempt failed – but they downed the ball on the Hanover 1-yard line. The two teams traded scoreless drives until mid-way though the fourth quarter, when Hanover got back in sync on offense and drove 79 yards to score on a 1-yard run by Cheatham. Palmen’s extra point gave the Hawks a 14-6 lead with 4:24 left in the game. The Confederates were determined to respond, but on their next-to-last drive Vaughan was sacked on the first play, had a pass dropped on the second, and threw an interception to Shreve Rohle on the third. “I just knew we needed to make a good play,” said Rohle of his game-saving interception. “We just needed the ball, to get back and to score. So I just stepped up and saw the ball and picked it.” “We were just trying to make a play there at the end of the game,” Hayden said. “We had to make a play to score and try

to win the game. We had to do that. Sometimes when you try to make a play, things happen.” Hanover scored again, covering the 40 yards to the goal line in about a minute and scoring on another 1-yard run by Cheatham. Despite a 21-6 deficit and 34 seconds remaining, LeeDavis wasn’t ready to fold, but another interception – off a pass tipped by a Lee-Davis receiver and caught by Hanover’s Xavier Crocker – effectively ended the game.

Hampden-Sydney beats E&H to move to 7-0 for third straight year No. 20 H-SC downs Wasps 48-10 HAMPDEN-SYDNEY-For the third consecutive year, No. 20/22 (AFCA/d3football.com) Hampden-Sydney posted a 7-0 record to start the season. In front of a Homecoming crowd of over 9,000 fans, the Tigers jumped out to a 21-3 first quarter lead over the Emory & Henry Wasps and never looked back. H-SC outscored E&H 27-7 over the next three stanzas, taking a 48-10 victory to improve to 7-0 and 3-0 in ODAC play heading into their bye week. Emory and Henry falls to 4-3 overall in 0-3 in conference play. The Tigers’ first drive was performed flawlessly, with junior

Travis Lane (Mills Godwin) completing all four of his passes for 43 yards while rushing for 21 yards. John Michael Sparagna (Atlee) finished the drive with a seven-yard touchdown reception. Hampden-Sydney’s next drive lasted just three plays, with Kyle Vance making two receptions, and Evan King busting out for a 31-yard touchdown strike. Lane and Sean Cavanagh (Clover Hill) then connected on a beautiful 71-yard bomb to go up 21-0. The Wasps, however, were able to close out the quarter with a 20-yard field goal to make it a 21-3 game. Emory and Henry used the momentum take its first drive to the Hampden-Sydney one-

yard line. The Tiger defense did not break though, as Will Riggenbach (Clover Hill) and Steven Fogleman (Hanover) made a huge stop on fourthand-one on the one-yard line. The Tigers then drove 98 yards in five minutes with Andrew Bruckner (L.C. Bird) finding pay dirt on a three yard touchdown reception. On the first play of the Wasps’ ensuing drive, Trevor Ikwild put a bone crushing hit on Preston Jennings to force the fumble and give Hampden-Sydney the ball right back. The Tigers eventually capitalized with a 45-yard field goal from David Prizzia to end the half. The Tigers continued to roll ending the first drive of the half with a 28-yard field goal from

R-MC opens new tennis complex On Saturday, October 9, Randolph-Macon College conducted a ribbon-cutting ceremony to unveil its new tennis complex located at 112 Henry Clay Road in Ashland. R-MC Tennis Coach Wayne Vaughan and the R-MC tennis teams were on hand to hold mini tennis clinics were held for elementary-age students. In addition, competition and clinics for middle- and highschool students were held, with prizes provided by Wilson. “We are extremely happy to open this facility, and we designed it to provide a new home for the R-MC men’s and women’s tennis teams and also to be enjoyed by the community,” said R-MC President Robert R. Lindgren. “The complex has lighted courts, public parking and spectator seating. We hope the Ashland community enjoys this complex.” The Randolph-Macon tennis complex was relocated south of its previous location and sits near the Ashland train station. The courts, which sit on five acres, are designed for public

play when not in use by the College. The complex includes ten playing courts with four courts lighted at night, stadium seating, a restroom facility, a gazebo and benches. As part of R-MC’s commitment to the environment, a shallow marsh strong water management pond was created to catch water run-off from the complex. Approximately 3,300 plants along the marsh will clean the drainage water before it goes into the wetlands. “The R-MC community has worked very hard to make sure that improvements made to our campus do not adversely affect the environment,” said Lindgren. “The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has recognized R-MC as one of only two colleges in the state to be accepted into the Virginia Environmental Excellence Program (VEEP) at the E2 level (Environmental Excellence). We are very proud of that honor and want to continue in that effort.” Phase One of R-MC’s

Master Plan is underway with several construction projects in progress or completed. Development of the Plan, which was approved in February 2009 by the college’s Board of Trustees, was a collaborative process involving faculty, staff, students, alumni, trustees and members of the community. In addition to the tennis complex, R-MC has completed the relocation of Smith Street, which is now a block north of its previous location. The relocation will allow for the expansion of athletic amenities to include de-coupling the football and baseball fields. The football field will be moved to a northsouth position. Plans are also in place to build a new freshmen residence hall, bordering the new football field. The hall, which is expected to be completed by August 2011, will be named to honor retired Dean of Students and Professor Emeritus Rev. Ira L. Andrews III ’59. From Randolph-Macon Athletics.

Prizzia to go up 34-3. Emory & Henry again made it into Tiger territory, but could not convert on a fourth-andseven from the HampdenSydney 23-yard line. Lane was intercepted just two plays later to give the ball back, but Bill Doody returned the favor with a pick of his own, that he returned 46 yards. After a holding penalty on the Wasps, HampdenSydney took over on the Emory and Henry 19-yard line. Just three plays later, Lane and Bruckner connected again, this time for 16 yards, to go up 41-3. The Wasps responded just two minutes into the fourth quarter with an Adrian Jordan 25 yard touchdown reception to cut the lead to 41-10, but Hampden-Sydney used much of the fourth quarter to score the final touchdown of the game

on a Regis Craft 13-yard touchdown run to take the final 48-10 margin. On the day, Lane was 24for-31 for 358 yards, four touchdowns, and two interceptions. Cavanagh hauled in seven passes for 138 yards and a touchdown while Vance caught a team-high eight receptions for 135 yards. King was the lead rusher with 61 yards and a touchdown on nine carries, and Craft ran for 54 yards and a score on just five carries. Defensively, Ikwild again led the crew with a game-high 11 tackles while Fogleman tallied nine stops. Riggenbach registered five tackles, with 2.5 for loss and one sack. The Tigers held Emory and Henry to 287 yards of offense while the Tiger offense amassed 498 yards. The Tigers will return to action on Saturday October

W&L upsets No. 20 R-MC 42-28 LEXINGTON – On Saturday, Washington and Lee rushed for 427 yards as a team to hand No. 20 (d3football.com) Randolph-Macon its first loss of the season, 42-28 in Lexington, VA. R-MC falls to 6-1 overall and 2-1 in the ODAC, while W&L is now 4-2 and 3-0 in the league. The Yellow Jackets jumped out front 7-0 on the opening possession of the game when Drake Sanders scored from four yards out. But the Generals responded with 21 unanswered points, getting a pair of rushing touchdowns from Luke Heinshon and a TD scamper from Harrison Hudson that put W&L ahead 21-7 with just under 10 minutes to go in the first half. The Jackets cut it to a one score game on its ensuing possession, putting together a 11-play, 64-yard drive that was capped off by a one-yard plunge from Sanders to make

the score 21-14 with 4:31 to go in the half. But on the previous play, R-MC lost starting quarterback Austin Faulkner to a lower body injury which occurred when he tried to push the ball over the goal line. Luke Sellers finished out the game in the pocket. W&L responded with a 90yard drive on eight plays, scoring with just over a minute to go before halftime. The Generals opened the second half with a scoring drive that Hudson finished with a seven-yard scoring reception to put W&L up 35-14, a lead the Generals defense would make stand, forcing four turnovers on the afternoon. On the game, R-MC ran for 258 yards. Sanders led the Yellow Jackets’ offense with 186 yards on 35 carries. Earl Peoples had four catches for 96 yards in the loss. W&L nearly recorded three 100-yard rushing performances. Heinshon ran for 147 yards and

two scores on 17 carries, while Brett Murray had 100 yards on 10 carries and Hudson chipped in with 97 yards on the day. Randolph-Macon will be back in action next Saturday when it hosts Guilford College at 1:00 p.m. Faulkner was to undergo evaluation on Monday to determine when he will be able to return to action.
