Gov. Terry McAuliffe visited Pole Green Elementary School in Mechanicsville on Thursday and helped launch a study on government for the third grade classes. The library was filled with eager students who answered questions about government, Virginia in particular, from the Governor. The thirdgraders also asked McAliffe their own prepared questions. McAuliffe read the book, “The State Governor.” He also talked about his service as Governor of Virginia, as well as his role in national politics. Related photo on page 23.

Craig move won’t deter efforts at Lewistown site

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND -- According to some Hanover County officials, communications with a developer who planned to open an outlet mall in the Ashland area broke down long before an announcement last week nixing the project.

Craig Realty’s decisions last week abandoning plans to construct the major commercial project near the Lewistown Road interchange came as a surprise to some, but others saw the writing on the wall months earlier.

OPINION | The Local Views From the managing editor

What has happened to our sense of security?

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor July 1990. That was the first time I visited Las Vegas. I was at the home of one of my best friends in Southern California when we made the drive through the desert to the city filled with glitz and glam.

With so many lights, you really couldn’t tell if it was noon or 3 a.m. As a matter of fact, we enjoyed some shows, shopping, the atmosphere, and, most of all, feeling safe and secure in our surroundings.

When the news broke last week about the mass shooting in Vegas, my mind wandered back to my visits and how enjoyable they had been. Many good memories were made with my friend and another time when my sister and I took Mom there for her 70th birthday.

Even with my mother, there wasn’t any great trepidation at being out and about. Of

course, we didn’t keep the same hours my friend and I had, but, nonetheless, we weren’t alarmed to venture where we wanted.

Are we safe anywhere anymore? I find myself watching people even in what should be the most secure settings.

The first time I really felt vulnerable was a few months after 9/11. I was driving to Richmond alone to visit my sister and brotherin-law. There’s that stretch of highway between Charlottesville and Richmond that is pretty much just road and trees. It was at that point that an eerie feeling came over me about being exposed in some way.

Will I stop traveling? No. Will I continue to be more vigilant than I was even last year?

Absolutely. Will I take extra precautions? Every time. But I won’t hide or live in fear.

My heart aches for those who lost their lives or were injured in the Vegas shooting,

and my answer to such acts is always to turn to prayer.

The best of who we are always shines through at the worst of times.

I saw a Facebook post from The Today Show where Savannah Guthrie was talking to a survivor when she had the man who rescued him step forward. What an emotional reunion.

While law enforcement authorities continue to delve into the life — and mind — of the shooter, Stephen Paddock, how do we heal?

How do we help those families who lost loved ones who were out for an evening of country music? How do we move forward?

I’ve always been a glass half full person. We hold to our faith. We support one another. We stand strong in the face of adversity.

For me, a sense of security comes from knowing Christ. What about you?

Stand or kneel Well, I haven’t watched professional football since 1985 when the Chicago Bears did “The Super Bowl Shuffle,” so what I know about the controversy surrounding standing or kneeling during the playing/singing of the National Anthem has been through newspaper reports.

I always stand and put my hand over my heart when “The Star Spangled Banner” is performed. I always have and I always will.

But, if someone feels oppressed, aren’t they free to express that? Do I have a right not to stand? Yes, in my opinion, I do. Whether it’s football, basketball or baseball, the players have to follow their own compass.

Bottom line to me is we have more pressing issues around the globe than who’s standing or kneeling before a ball game.

Just sayin’.

Daughter’s beauty on her wedding day literally took dad’s breath away

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist I suspect every father sheds a tear or two in the impending weeks or minutes before a daughter’s wedding, but, for weeks leading up to the big day, I dismissed any silly thoughts of emotion and attempted to focus on

the wonderful years I’ve had with my oldest daughter Jaime.

I kept telling myself that I wasn’t going to wallow in emotion or allow sentimental silliness to spoil a special day. I think it was my way of avoiding the anxiety that accompanies each father as he prepares to take that long walk down the aisle, daughter

in arm.

And, combined with a hectic schedule that seemed to postpone any thoughts of lament, it basically worked. As I clicked off the numerous chores leading up to the event, I felt no anxiety, no sense of nervousness and I was convinced my nonchalant approach to the wedding had

relieved me of any stress or anxiety associated with the event.

Jaime’s brother and sisters were in the wedding, so preparation was hectic with last-minute hemlines that produced my first hint of anxiety.

We arrived only slightly behind schedule, and pre-wedding photos, girl giddiness and final instructions

proceeded without a hitch.

After the photographer took some final shots of the bride, it was time for all to retreat to their assigned spots.

The wedding was held beside a pool in a private residence that someone had taken hours to decorate, transforming the space into a magical and idyllic oasis of unique lights, open fire pits and a unique altar set at the end of the pool.

I was assigned to a spot right outside the rear entrance to the house, a door that would soon open and expose the prettiest bride that I’ve ever seen — a statement made with a self-admitted bias and an even larger amount of pride.

And all of those mental tricks to stay steady and unmoved flew out the window with my first glance at my daughter as she entered. see WEDDING, pg. 7

WEDDING Continued from pg. 6

My eyes immediately filled, lips trembled, and knees weakened. The sight of that beautiful child, my first born, literally took my breath away and, for a moment, I couldn’t move.

Jaime Ridolphi, the daughter of Richmond Suburban News contributor Jim Ridolphi, became the bride of Kent Ebanks on Saturday, Sept. 30.

Somehow, I extended my hand and escorted her down the steps where we joined her mother for a walk to the altar that paralleled the length of the pool with me on the business side closest to the pool.

“Don’t push me,� I said as we met my ex-wife to begin the walk.

I’m not sure if either of them saw my tears, but I quickly gathered myself and made the walk. Looking up, I was greeted with the vision of my three other children, my sister and her family standing at the altar waiting for our arrival.

The steps went slowly. I think it’s designed that way to allow parents to inhale the last breaths of children who now embark on a life of their own.

Sure, life will be special and filled with memories of a different kind, but it will never be the same.

Somehow, with my daughter on my arm and the people I loved the most surrounding me, I finally took time to enjoy the love and joy of such a special occasion.

It was a unique ceremony with a special message of friendship and love combined with numerous moments of self-deprecating humor. “I told you this was the first time I’ve done this,� the officiating guy laughed as he studied his iPad for the next comments. I suppose you had to be there, but it worked and see WEDDING, pg. 8

As the ceremony ended, I hugged Jaime with dry eyes and a big smile and told her I felt like the luckiest father in the world.

Either we’re both babies, or we both share an undying love for Jaime. The tears affirmed the latter and confirmed something I already know. Kent and my daughter love each other, and we love him. They have endured trials and tribulations

Now, I’m not advocating that we all should parade around with unchecked emotions, but trying to suppress them is probably not a good idea.

It also reaffirms something I hope I already knew — that sometimes it’s OK to let your heart take priority over your head, and shed a few tears.

And, for those of you who thought this column would end with a nervous old father falling in to the pool, I hate to disappoint you but I left high and dry, and extremely proud.

As individual members and as the organization EANGUS works tirelessly on legislation that would provide needed equipment and benefits for National Guard members and families.

EANGUS and its Auxiliary enrich the quality of life for its members by providing scholarships for members and children and grandchildren of members.

EANGUS represents National Guard members and families in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and the American territories, American Samoa and Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Just as the National Guard is unique with its dual state and national role, so its citizen/soldiers are unique. That next door neighbor or doctor or mechanic or school teacher or forester also may be a soldier or airman who

is deployed in war time or to respond to natural disasters.

The EANGUS Auxiliary voted to give philanthropic funds to Paws & Effect, Des Moines, Iowa. That organization raises, trains, and places service dogs with children diagnosed with medical needs and with military veterans suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI).

Donations also were given to the Ronald McDonald House, Reno and Fisher House, North Las Vegas, as well as many, many pounds to toiletries to a local women & children’s shelter in Reno.

Four scholarships were given: one for $3,000 (recipient from Florida); one for $1,250 (recipient from Wisconsin); and two $1,000 each (recipients from Mississippi and Minnesota).

At this year’s EANGUS/ Auxiliary Conference a challenge was issued to EANGUS “We Care for America” (WCFA) Foundation to assist see HOLCOMB, pg. 17

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien looks at diversity in R-MC lecture series

By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND -- Awardwinning American broadcast journalist and executive producer Soledad Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien addressed a large crowd of students and members of the greater Ashland community as part of Randolph-Macon Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Watkins Lecture Series.

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brienâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s topic, â&#x20AC;&#x201C;â&#x20AC;&#x153;Diversity: On TV, Behind the Scenes, and in Our Lives,â&#x20AC;? brought a clear perspective on contemporary and diverse issues in American society.

This segment of the Watkins Lecture Series was held in Blackwell Auditorium for the Thursday evening speaker event, which started at 7:30 p.m.

Earlier in the day, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien

took time to take part in a 3:45 p.m. press conference with members of the local media and the collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newspaper, The Yellow Jacket.

A widely known journalist, Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien has been a CNN news anchor. She is considered a talented documentarian, a passionate philanthropist, and skilled producer. She said her background and upbringing influenced her career.

She fielded questions from R-MCâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mass communications students and local journalists that were focused on her personal experience in the profession, what sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s learned along her way, and how the media has changed.

Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said her decision to become a journalist was when she decided not to go to medical school. She started working in a TV station for an internship, when quickly

career in the media began in the early 1990s. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I felt there was a pretty good opportunity to influence the stories,â&#x20AC;? Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brien said during the press conference. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really a game of influence, what voices you can elevate, what stories you can bring out, the things that you care about and the things that youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re passionate about. If you can actually get some leverage, you can actually start bringing those topics to discussion.â&#x20AC;?

Talking about the problems sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seen in the media, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of issues.â&#x20AC;? She talked about how thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been a â&#x20AC;&#x153;real pushâ&#x20AC;? for entertainment instead of information at times. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been so proud of newspapers because I think theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done a really good job through the election and past

Reynal talked about the feedback some of those citizens offered. One idea was to pay for the current Town Hall’s repairs and to revisit the issue in five years.

However, after an evaluation on the Town Hall by PMA Architecture, it was determined that quality work conditions couldn’t be met in the existing building anymore; it’s time for a fresh start.

Sweet Frog ‘noticed’ by Ashland group Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND – It is interesting how some things come around. Such is the case with the building at 210 England St., which now houses Sweet Frog Center of the Universe, the recipient of the Ashland Main Street Association’s latest “You’ve Been Noticed” award.

Back before refrigerators were common in every home, the long brick building at 210 England St. was the home to Charles Boschen Sr’s. Ice House. On hot days, youngsters used to follow “Ice Man” Bill Straus as he delivered blocks of ice door to door, beg-

ging small chips off the block as cool treats.

After home refrigerators and freezers came into use, there was no need for a local ice house and the building housed a variety of retail tenants.

Now children and adults flock to the renovated building at 210 England St. for frozen yogurt with a variety of fruit, nut and candy sprinkle toppings.

Previously a featured business in Ashland Main Street’s newsletter, Get Centered, Sweet Frog COTU can now add the Main Street “You’ve Been Noticed” award for summer 2017.

new Town Hall’s construction, so staff can still operate.

Afterwards, the current Town Hall will be demolished.

A motion was made by Councilman John Hodges to approve the concept design of a multi-story building in the Farmer’s Market lot – “with a budget not to exceed $115,000 for [that] phase,” Hodges said.

The motion was seconded by Mayor Foley, and approved unanimously by council.

Five awards recognizing successes in Ashland’s local government and police force have achieved were addressed during the meeting.

Police Chief Douglas Goodman said the Ashland Police Department was awarded first place in its municipal division of the Virginia Law Enforcement Challenge awards. Goodman said this was the fifth consecutive year that the police department has won the award.

During the Town Manager’s reports, Joshua Farrar

Guard families in Texas impacted by Hurricane Harvey. Almost $2,000 was raised for that cause.

Money also was given to WCFA to assist Guard families impacted by Hurricane Irma in Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, and Florida.

Holcomb serves as EANGUS Auxiliary Area II Director and was elected to another two-year term. She was awarded the EANGUS Auxiliary Outstanding Area Director of the Year Award for contributions, achievements, and service to the EANGUS Auxiliary and the respective state auxiliaries within Area II and the Legislative Award in recognition of the valuable contributions to the Legislative process.

announced that four additional awards given to the Town of Ashland by the Virginia Municipal League (VML).

Farrar said it is a proud moment for the town to serve as “the educator.”

“I think we’re at the point where some of those other local governments who are getting their feet under them are looking to us as an example for how things can be done,” Farrar said.

The four awards the VML awarded Ashland include: the HEAL award (Healthy Eating, Active Living), a gold level “Stairway to Success” award-winner for supporting early childhood education, a platinum-certified “Go Green Government Challenge” winner for environmental-friendly initiatives, and a final award “based in the realm of public safety,” Farrar said.

He also said that “these are innovation awards, but collaboration awards – and I think that’s the most important thing.”

The fourth award was given for the local government’s efforts

to address its longtime issue with run-down motels and hotels in Ashland, and the extended residencies within them.

“This is, I think, the crowning example of collaboration -it’s an innovation award but it’s all about collaboration,” Farrar added.

Every department in the town participated in the achievement of the award, including: Hanover County, the Building Inspector’s Office, the Fire Marshall’s Office, the health department (which is a state-quasi government organization), the nonprofit community, and the faith community.

“It’s not just about the ordinance – it’s about re-housing those families, and, then, the turnaround that we’ve seen with lower crime numbers and hopefully improved quality of life for people in the town – so this is one we are very proud of, it took years and a lot of work from a lot of people,” Farrar said.

“It may have our name on it as the ‘Town of Ashland,’ but it certainly goes out to everyone else who participated.”

She also serves as the Virginia Army/Air National Guard Enlisted Association Auxiliary President and is the spouse of CSM (R) Carl A. Holcomb, Virginia Enlisted Association 2nd VicePresident.

Virginia Auxiliary Delegates also in attendance at the conference were Suzanne Emerson, Secretary (Ringgold), Kimberly White, Treasurer (Powhatan), and Charlotte Kuykendall, EANGUS Auxiliary Credentials & Rules Representative for Area II (Waynesboro).

Current EANGUS Auxiliary Officers and Area Directors are: President Connie Myers, Mississippi; Vice President Angela Kennebeck, Iowa; Secretary Vivian Taylor, Mississippi; Treasurer Pam Brown,

Tennessee; Immediate Past President Judy Wood, Alabama; Area II Directors Shelia Brookins, Kentucky, and Margie Holcomb, Virginia; Area III Directors, Dianne Williams, Georgia and Marie Brabham, Florida; Area IV Directors Monica Williams, Arkansas and Kimberly Clay, Louisiana; Area V Directors Sharon Henderson, Iowa and Catherine Berry, Wisconsin; and Area VI Directors Richard Bryant, New Mexico and Linda Lyon, Wyoming.

Sara Hendricks, Iowa and New Mexico, serves as Parliamentarian.

The EANGUS Auxiliary is preparing for another year of advocacy on behalf of the men and women of the National Guard and of service to Guard families and the local communities where they live and work.

they really should be informing people ... and I think that we’re at a time where there’s just such a fast turnaround.”

O’Brien was referring to the mainstream media’s ability to cover news instantaneously, live from multiple platforms – something that wasn’t a reality only 20 years ago.

She said society has started a culture where everyone is live all the time.

“There used to be evening news, and everything would wait for the evening news – people would release information to the 6 o’clock news … and then cable changed that formula,” she said.

Now, she said, “it never ends – everyone’s rushing to be on top of the next thing that’s breaking, and as it’s breaking there’s another thing over here – so everyone’s running out

of Puerto Rico to go to [Las] Vegas to cover a story,” O’Brien continued. “It just seems like the timelines have collapsed.”

She talked about how that is problematic because it doesn’t lead to thoughtful investigation, a slowed down expiration that “I think most stories really require.”

Talking about how certain stories don’t get covered, she used examples of different shows that she has had on CNN like “Latino in America,” “Black in America” and “Gay in America.”

“They all came from things we actually saw in the world, but no one was ever covering.”

When asked if she thought that bipartisanship within the media is just as important as bipartisanship in the government, she replied: “I’m not sure that it’s really that important in the government. I mean, it should be important, but I don’t know that it is, I haven’t

seen any examples of it.”

“I think kind of a scary thing has happened, which is you no longer get points for being a rationale person who’s trying to solve a problem with people who may not see the problem as you see it.”

She said the mindset always views the other side as an enemy, which saddens her.

“I don’t think it’s helpful for the country; I don’t think it’s useful to the government.

The whole point of being in government is to be a problemsolver.”

An R-MC news release detailing the event described O’Brien as a “champion of diversity.” Her voice is given to see O’BRIEN, pg. 19

‘Hidden in Plain Sight’ program to be held Oct. 16 MECHANICSVILLE -Knowing the signs and symptoms of drug use in our children can be difficult, especially in a time when items specifically designed to conceal drugs and alcohol from parents are easily purchased online or at the local shopping mall.

Luckily for residents of Hanover County, a local coali-

tion is working to educate parents to recognize the signs and symptoms of drug and alcohol use among teens.

Teens Care Too and Hanover Cares have worked together to develop a free community initiative called “Hidden in Plain Sight: To Snoop or Not to Snoop.”

Teens Care Too is an orga-

nization led by a group of Hanover County high school students being sponsored by Hanover Cares coalition, an organization whose mission is to support healthy opportunities for Hanover youth and parents as well as attempt to reduce the substance abuse in our community.

The event will be held on

Monday, Oct. 16, at New Song United Methodist Church at 7450 Colts Neck Rd. in Mechanicsville.

The Hanover County Sheriff’s Office will have a narcotics officer lead a presentation and “Reveal,” highlighting over 50 items hidden in the bedroom, along with the signs of possible drug and alcohol use.

There is no cost to attend the event, however pre-registration is required.

For more information contact Octavia Marsh, executive director of Hanover Cares, at 804-564-6119 or by email at info@hanover-cares.org.

Information submitted by Tom Harris, Hanover County public information officer.

Dana Gaskin from the Hanover Community Services Board will provide a special presentation to parents called “Talking Tips” to prepare parents to effectively discuss this difficult topic with their teen.

Because of the sensitive nature of Hidden in Plain Sight, this event is for adults only.

Holy Cross Lutheran begins new chapter as second campus of Trinity ASHLAND — On Saturday, Oct. 14, Holy Cross Lutheran Church on Ashcake Road begins a new chapter in its nearly 60-year history becoming a second campus of Trinity Lutheran Church in Western Henrico.

In September, both congregations overwhelmingly voted to merge their ministries and operations into one congregation with two locations.

Like Holy Cross, Trinity is a member congregation of The Lutheran Church—Missouri

Synod (LCMS).

This year Trinity is celebrating its 60th anniversary and has been looking for ways to expand its ministry reach.

Rev. Michael Pottschmidt, the senior pastor of Trinity said, “In the business world, the announcement might read, ‘Under new ownership.’

However, in this case the Owner hasn’t changed. This is God’s church, and His mission remains the same no matter what name is on the church sign. Through this new relationship, we are excited to increase opportunities for

people of all ages to gather in meaningful Christian relationships, help them grow in understanding God’s grace, and equip people to go about their everyday lives showing and sharing God’s goodness and love.”

The Ashland campus launch celebration on Oct. 14 includes a pig roast and picnic beginning at 3 p.m. and an outdoor worship service at 5 p.m. In the coming months, the new campus of Trinity Lutheran Church will be introducing and reintroducing themselves to their neighbors

and the Ashland community through community events and worship.

Trinity’s Ashland campus will worship at 5 p.m. on Saturdays; the Parham Road campus has three Sunday morning worship opportunities with livestreaming available at 11 a.m. on Sundays. Trinity extends an invitation to all to visit and worship at either campus.

Trinity Lutheran Church— Ashland Campus is located at 11515 Ashcake Rd. The Parham Road campus is located at 2315 North Parham Rd. in Henrico.

NEA Foundation bestows prestigious honor on teacher Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com WASHINGTON, D.C – “By connecting love, patience, wisdom, and a passion for learning, I can change the outcomes of my students’ futures,” says Afreen Gootee.

Gootee, a math and social studies educator at The Georgetown School in Mechanicsville, will receive the NEA Foundation’s prestigious Horace Mann Award for

Teaching Excellence, recognition as one of the nation’s top educators, and $10,000. The award honors educators for their diligence and dedication to students, colleagues, community, and profession.

She will be celebrated at the NEA Foundation’s Salute to Excellence in Education Awards Gala on Feb. 9, 2018, by over 850 leaders in public education, philanthropic, and business sectors, in Washington, D.C., and by many more view-

ers online.Students, colleagues, peers, and family members of awardees host viewing parties to watch live streaming video of the program at home as awardees from across the nation are recognized.

“Afreen Gootee has been selected for this award by her peers for attaining the highest teaching standards, as shown by her exemplary instruction, professional advocacy and leadership, attention to diversity, and community outreach,” said

Harriet Sanford, president and CEO of the NEA Foundation.

“Honoring these educators is our way of thanking them, and all the public school educators they represent, for their excellent work with our nation’s most precious resource, our children.”

Gootee was nominated for the award by the Virginia Education Association, a National Education Association affiliate.

“So many teachers go above and beyond to serve the needs

of their students, and these five educators are great examples of what it takes to excel in the classroom,” said Marita Zuraitis, president and CEO of Horace Mann. “As a company serving educators’ financial needs for 70 years, Horace Mann is pleased to honor these educators for playing an instrumental role in educating the children of our future.”

Gootee’s students will help produce a video honoring their teacher, which will premiere at the gala.

more than a year ago listing some well-known retailers that planned to locate in the mall, news of potential clients dwindled.

“In the short time I have been here I have heard multiple rumors regarding the outlet mall and have reached out numerous times to Craig Realty Group with no response, said Hanover County Economic Development Director E. Linwood Thomas.

He said the announcement is more likely the result of a changing economic climate rather than a reflection on Hanover County as a potential site for the project.

“The retail market has

changed significantly with Amazon and other online retailers so it would not surprise me, but the county nor the Department of Economic Development have heard anything from Craig Realty Group directly,” Thomas said.

With substantial interchange improvements underway, and the recent opening of a new hotel, Wayne Hazzard, South Anna District representative on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, said the area has great potential and can thrive without the outlet mall.

“The way I look at it, we’ve been waiting for them in the past, but, now, Amazon is here and the Fairfield Inn opened and we are going to continue to develop the areas around there,” Hazzard said.

With the numerous delays regarding the Craig Outlet project, Hazzard said it’s time to move on and continue to focus on the positive opportunities at Lewistown.

“Sometimes, things work out for the best,” Hazzard said.

“I feel like something great is going to happen there. We’ve got our eye on the future and that’s going to be a great site.”

County Administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. indicated a changing retail environment likely influenced the latest decision not to build an outlet mall in Hanover, but he remained optimistic on the possibilities for the area.

The market for bricks and mortar has changed dramatically in recent years and “we

want whatever is developed on that site to be successful,â&#x20AC;?

Harris noted at a joint meeting of the Hanover Chamber of Commerce and the Hanover Business Council.

Even with the cancellation of a project that some shoppers have anticipated for more than a decade, Thomas said the Lewistown interchange is well fitted for future development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Based on over $30 million of investment in the Lewistown Interchange, the county feels very strongly that corridor is primed for significant growth and development now and in the future,â&#x20AC;? Thomas said.

And recent history confirms those expectations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of our largest announcements over the past year have located in and around the Lewistown corridor, including Fairfield Inn & Suites, Communications Test Design, and Amazon, to name a few,â&#x20AC;? Thomas said.

All indicators point to Lewistown when potential investors consider location and accessibility to valuable markets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a good sign that major companies are also seeing the same thing and we hope to continue to build off these successes moving forward.â&#x20AC;?

Lee-Davis wins shootout with Wildcats

By Andrew Spencer for the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – LeeDavis scored on its first offensive play from scrimmage and dominated both sides of the ball to give its Confederate fans a happy homecoming with a 68-36 romp over Armstrong Friday night.

The victory marked the fifth win for the Confederates this season.

The Wildcats took the opening kickoff and managed only 4 yards on three plays.

On fourth down, Armstrong lined up to kick, but punter Charles Coleman could not handle a bad snap and ended up attempting a pass.

Lee-Davis’ Darius Kelly snagged the desperation lob, and returned it to the Armstrong 9-yard line. One play later, a perfect strike from Zach Lass to Jalen Hargrove put the Confederates on the scoreboard. The early score set the pattern for the rest of the game.

“We wanted to come out in the first quarter and set the tone and get out to a big lead,” said Lee-Davis head coach Ryan Turnage. “And we did that.”

By the end of the first half, the Confederates were up by 41 points, and that allowed Turnage to substitute some players who don’t ordinarily get as much playing time.

“A game like this tonight can

be tough for coaches because we end up putting some kids in that aren’t as used to playing in games,” Turnage said. “That can mean giving up some big plays, which we did.”

For example, Lee-Davis gave up 22 points in the third quarter to allow the Wildcats to close the game.

Despite that, Turnage said he liked what he saw overall.

“Tonight we saw how our that are willing to play hard for kids react to situations, how us when they’re called on.”

What is perhaps most heartthey’re willing to fight through adversity,” he said. “We found ening for Lee-Davis fans is the out that we’ve got some kids who are backing up our starters see SHOOTOUT, pg. 31

MECHANICSVILLE – The Lee-Davis Athletic Hall of Fame committee announced its Hall of Fame Class of 2018. Four athletes and one coach will be inducted in a banquet on Friday, Jan. 26, 2018, at Lee-Davis High School.

But Lee-Davis fans will have the chance to honor the five inductees much sooner: during halftime of the Varina at Lee-Davis football game on Friday, Oct. 20.

The five were selected from the universe of athletes and coaches who have been key parts of the Lee-Davis story since the school was established in 1959. All have achieved much over their athletic careers – including district, region, metro and state honors – and beyond.

The inductees are Jock Jones (Class of 1986; see FAME, pg. 32

Henrico offense too hot for Atlee to handle for nearly 150 yards in the game, the Raiders’ offense took a big step backward against a talented Henrico defense.

“We dropped some catchable passes early and never could find a rhythm,” Coach Gray said.

Despite the difficult loss, Coach Gray had some positive words for his team.

“I’m proud of our effort. We played a really good team,” he said. “We have got to refocus and get ready for next Friday.”

The road does not get any easier for Atlee as they look to get back on track following the disappointing defeat. Next week the Raiders will play host to crosstown rival Lee-Davis, who is coming off a 68-point performance this week against Armstrong.

Daniel Fritz can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.

By Daniel Fritz For the Mechanicsville Local HENRICO – Atlee was riding a two-game win streak heading into a Capital District matchup against Henrico Friday night.

Unfortunately for the Raiders, the defense proved no match for one of the top offenses in the area. Atlee allowed the Warriors’ offense 570 total yards – including 347 passing yards by Warriors’ quarterback Lawrence Chambers – as it fell victim to Henrico 41-14.

The loss drops the Raiders to 2-4 on the season, making a trip to this year’s playoffs very difficult.

The Warriors’ speed proved deadly.

“Henrico is a very fast football team,” said Atlee head coach Matt Gray. “We were in good position on most plays, but their speed got the best of us.”

On the first drive of the game, Henrico marched right down the field. Running back Tyrelle Ellison, who carried the ball 18 times for 156 yards, capped off the drive with a 5-yard run.

Atlee’s first possession stalled early. Although quarterback/ punter Tyler Warren’s punt pinned the Warriors inside the 5-yard line, the Henrico offense needed just six plays to go 95 yards to the end zone. Ellison finished the drive on a 31-yard run going untouched up the middle and giving the Warriors an early 14-0 lead.

An Atlee interception early in the second quarter by Raymond Luckey looked to be just the break the Raiders needed after a sluggish start. Three plays later however, Warren threw the first of what would be four interceptions, this one giving the Warriors the ball at midfield.

Kenny Moore for The Local

Atlee quarterback Tyler Warren feels some pressure but completes the pass in the Raiders’ 41-14 loss to Henrico Friday night.

It only took one play for Chambers to hit wideout Ja’Had Carter on a deep go route.

Carter got behind the Atlee defense and caught the ball in stride en route to the goal line.

Finding themselves down three scores at the 10-minute mark of the second quarter, the Raider offense finally started to gain some momentum. They put together solid, back-to-back drives resulting in touchdowns.

The first was a methodical 14-play drive. Warren

found tight end Will Belvin on a 10-yard gain to set up the Raiders deep inside Warrior territory. A few plays later Tucker Bratton took a fourthdown handoff and bounced off the right side, spinning his way into the end zone for the Raiders’ first score.

Atlee’s defense held the Warriors to a quick three-andout. Warren found receiver John Johnson on a seam route for a huge 17-yard gain on third-and-long, moving the

offense across midfield.

Warren, who led the team in rushing Friday night, showed off his athleticism, stiff-arming his way to the 12-yard line for a 28-yard gain. One play later, William Engel took an inside handoff up the middle and into the end zone. The score brought the Raiders to within seven points of Henrico.

The Warriors would answer the Atlee comeback just two plays later, though, with a score of their own. Chambers once

again showcased his arm on another deep go route resulting in a 50-yard scoring play to receiver Rodney Booker. The play gave Chambers more than 200 passing yards in the first half and put the Raiders down 14 points going into the locker room at halftime.

The Warriors continued their dominance over the Raiders following the Henrico homecoming festivities at intermission.

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor ASHLAND – Just in case anyone has doubts, Varina football is back.

Unfortunately for Patrick Henry, the visiting Blue Devils, ranked No. 8 in the TimesDispatch poll, hammered that point home repeatedly in a 37-0 defeat of the Patriots Friday night.

Because of injuries, the Patriots’ were fronting an inexperienced offensive line.

Defensively, they struggled to contain an at-times explosive Blue Devil offense led by quarterback Brion Logan (6-of-11 passing for 114 yards and two touchdowns, eight carries for 68 yards and another touchdown) and slot back Stephen Richardson (15 carries for 117 yards and two touchdowns, 2 catches for 49 yards and another touchdown).

Still, Patrick Henry head coach Keith Braxton said the injuries were no excuse.

“We’ve got a couple of injuries, but, I mean, it’s week six. Everybody is going to be down somebody,” Braxton said.

“We’ve just got to be the next man up. We’ll continue to coach them, they’ll continue to get better and hopefully we’ll get the result we want. That’s all we can do. Keep the faith. Keep the faith.”

The Blue Devils (5-1) had a stranglehold on Patrick Henry’s offense, allowing the Patriots just 118 yards total offense.

“They’re good. We knew that going in,” Braxton said.

“Coach [Stu] Brown does a great job with those guys. They play extremely hard. They got going what they wanted to get going. They got some points to back it up.”

The Patriots – who have now dropped three straight

after opening the season 3-0 – were, on the other hand, quite generous on defense early on. Two personal fouls by the Patrick Henry defense on Varina’s opening drive gave the Blue Devils 30 of the drive’s 74 yards, saving the drive when it appeared to sputter and giving Varina an early momentum boost when it capped the drive on Richardson’s 6-yard touchdown run with 5:35 remaining in the first quarter.

“Those are huge,” said Braxton of the two penalties.

“I watched the Redskins game Monday night and penalties killed them, too. They had chances to get stops and they didn’t do it – just like we did on that first drive. We had chances to get stops, and penalties, penalties extended the drive.”

While the Blue Devils did not score at will, they scored

most of the time they got the ball.

“Once you get a little bit of a lead, you can be more aggressive in the things that you’re doing,” Braxton said. “And that’s what they did. You’ve got to tip your hat to those guys. They had a good plan and they stuck to it, and – unfortunately for us – we couldn’t change the tide.”

After going 7-0 on Richardson’s run and a Shane Barrett kick, the Blue Devils held the Patriots to a three-andout, then marched 63 yards on its next possession to score on a 27-yard pass from Logan to James Reid. Barrett’s kick made it 14-0 with 21 seconds left in the quarter.

Varina added two more touchdowns in the second quarter. The first scoring drive went 80 yards, but took just four plays and ended in a 48-yard

pass from Logan to Richardson.

Barrett came through again on the point after to make it 21-0 with 7:50 left in the half.

The Blue Devils’ fourth score came on a 78-yard drive capped by Richardson’s 22-yard run. This time, Barrett’s aim was off. His point-after attempt wobbled toward the left goal post, hit it and bounced wide left. Still, Varina led 27-0 with 2:26 in the half.

Varina’s offense cooled somewhat in the second half, with Patrick Henry getting a rare defensive highlight for the evening – Hunter Hart’s interception of a Logan pass on the opening drive of the half – and settled for a 35-yard field goal

by Barrett in the third quarter and Logan’s 8-yard touchdown run in the fourth.

The Patriots have a tough schedule ahead. The team

knows what it needs to do to stop their three-game skid.

“We’ve got to avoid the mistakes, the penalties,” Braxton said.

team’s performance in the first half.

“I thought we executed really well in the first half,” Turnage said. “We ran the ball the way we wanted to, and I thought we looked good.”

There was, he acknowledged, the chance for his team to look past the Wildcats, but Turnage and his staff stressed to their team that Armstrong was not a group they could take for granted.

“We told our kids that they weren’t going to come in here and just lay down because they were playing Lee-Davis,” he said. “And they sure didn’t tonight.”

Armstrong fell behind 33-0 before finding the end zone for the first time on a 1-yard pass from Jacqueal Thomas to Jaris Stewart in the second quarter.

Turnage credited Armstrong for fighting back.

“Those kids kept playing hard,” he said. “The Armstrong coaches do a good job of getting the kids to play as hard as they can, and those kids do not quit.

They keep playing until the last whistle blows, no matter what the score is.”

County cross country teams prepare for season end

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor ASHLAND – County cross country teams are running headlong toward the end of the regular season, competing in local and higher profile events and still searching for the magic combination of runners who will give them the best chance of postseason success.

While some have been struggling with injuries or illnesses among key runners, for the most part all four schools – Atlee, Hanover, Lee-Davis and Patrick Henry – have solid lineups and have a chance of advancing to their respective state playoffs.

The teams were busy last week. All four competed in a meet at Patrick Henry Wednesday. Several competed in high-profile, out-of-town meets Saturday.

Atlee’s girls finished first and its boys finished second in team standings in a Capital District meet at Patrick Henry Wednesday. Patrick Henry indi-

overall in the girls race, and the Confederate girls finished second. Atlee’s boys finished second overall in their race.

The Raiders’ top individual finisher on the boys side was Jacob Barden, who came in sixth in 17:39.50. On the girls side, Olivia Valentin came in fifth in 20:52.00. Lee-Davis freshman Sierra finished second in the girls race in 20:27.00.

Both Atlee teams finished second at the Big Cat Invite in Williamsburg Saturday.

Kameron Helmlinger finished second overall in individual results. Rachel Mudd finished third.

“Right now, both boys and girls, they’re going to be fighting for that third spot, I think, coming into regionals to make it to states,” said Atlee head cross country coach Tyler Busch.

Dave Lawrence/The Local “This weekend was a good Patrick Henry’s Noah Campbell enters the final stretch well weekend for our boys. They ahead of the pack in a Capital District cross country meet at really stepped up. I was really Patrick Henry Wednesday. He finished first in 16:25.00. happy with how all our girls viduals won both races: Noah Emmy Joyce finished first in the ran, especially our four through seven. They ran fantastic.”

Campbell came in first in the girls race in 20:18.00.

Lee-Davis’ boys finished boys race with a 16:25.00 finish.

not fall victim to underestimating their opponent. They kept scoring touchdowns themselves – a result of their ability to control both sides of the line of scrimmage.

Lass led Lee-Davis offensively, completing 10 of 17 passes for 142 yards and three touchdowns. Josh Rice had seven carries for 115 yards and two rushing touchdowns. He also scored on a 49-yard interception return and a 20-yard

pass.

Looking ahead to next week, Turnage was happy to have the momentum provided by the strong performance against Armstrong. But he also pointed out that the nature of next week’s game made this week’s performance irrelevant.

“It’s Atlee. It’s a rivalry game,” he said. “You throw the records out the window. Our kids are going to be up to play, but so are they. It’s about who

executes better.”

“I thought most of our experienced guys ran well,” LeeDavis head cross country coach Neil Mathews said of his team’s performance Saturday. “Our younger guys got a little bit starry eyed – I guess, big eyed – in the moment just because of how good a lot of the competition that was present that day

was, more in awe of them rather than anything else.”

Mathews is looking forward to seeing how his team does as the season wraps up.

“I’m excited for the younger guys stepping up,” he said. “It’s not something I have to ask them to do. They just seem to be doing it. They realize that there’s opportunity there and they’re stepping into those roles.”

say one food or another can actually stop cancer from developing. Studies have shown that diets filled with colorful fruits and vegetables can reduce the risk of developing cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Cancer Research UK points out that some foods, such as red meat and saltpreserved foods, can increase a person’s risk of developing some cancers, while vegetables, fruits and foods high in fiber have the opposite effect.

A comprehensive review of thousands of studies on physical activity, diet and weight conducted for the World Cancer Research Fund and the American Institute for Cancer Research found that plantbased foods are the best at fighting cancer. Broccoli, berries and garlic showed some of the strongest tendencies to prevent cancer. According to research associates at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, a variety of chem-

icals from plants known as phytochemicals protect cells from harmful compounds in food and in the environment.

Phytochemicals prevent cell damage and mutations.

When making their grocery lists, people who want to eat healthy and lower their cancer risk can include as many of these foods as possible.

Garlic Studies suggest that garlic can reduce the incidence of stomach cancer by attacking bacteria associated with some ulcers and belly cancers. Sulfur compounds in the food may stimulate the immune system’s natural defenses against cancer and could reduce inflammation and tumor growth.

Broccoli Broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables like cauliflower, cabbage and kale

contain glucosinolates. These are phytochemicals that produce protective enzymes that activate in the intestines. One particular compound, sulforaphane, is strongest and found in broccoli. Protective properties are highest in raw or steamed broccoli.

Blueberries Blueberries are loaded with antioxidants. Antioxidants neutralize the unstable compounds, called free radicals, that can damage cells and lead to cancer.

Tomatoes The red, rich coloring of tomatoes comes from lycopene. In laboratory tests, lycopene has stopped cancer cells, including breast, lung, and endometrial cancers, from growing. Researchers speculate that lycopene protects cells from damage that could lead to cancer by boosting the immune system. -Metro

Stepping Stones Women’s Center For the Support You Need...Every Step of the Way

Whether you were diagnosed recently or decades ago.

Whether you had a mastectomy, lumpectomy, or reconstruction, you have more choices.

Metro

Women can take various steps to make mammograms less painful.

How to find more comfort during mammograms

Apply a topical numbing gel. BreastCancer. org says a study found that applying a numbing gel an hour before having a mammogram resulted in less discomfort when compared to placebo and other pain-reduction techniques. Be sure to discuss application of the gel with your physician prior to your procedure.

Stepping Stones is proud to be the only fullservice fully ABC accredited facility of our type in Central Virginia!

Stepping Stones Women’s Center, LLC is a full service women’s health facility located in Mechanicsville, VA. Although we specialize in the needs of women diagnosed with and surviving breast cancer, we carry products for a variety of needs for all women.

Take pain relief pills. A physician may suggest taking ibuprofen or acetaminophen prior to the appointment to reduce discomfort before and after the procedure.

• Full & Partial Breast Forms

• Quality Wigs, Scarves, Soft • Pocketed Bras & Accessories Hats • Pink Ribbon Jewelry and Gift • Lymphedema Garments Ideas • Pocketed Swimwear & Swim Forms

Schedule your procedure for the right time. Do not schedule a mammogram right before or during a menstrual cycle, when breasts already are very tender due to hormonal changes. Waiting until seven to 14 days after a period is a better bet.

ammograms help to detect breast cancer early, improving women’s prognosis as a result. Susan G. Komen states that mammography is the most effective breast cancer screening tool in use today.

When women should begin getting mammograms remains open to debate. The American Cancer Society now recommends that women between the ages of 45 and 54 receive annual mammograms.

Despite the benefits of mammograms, many women avoid them out of fear of the pain and discomfort associated with the procedure. But researchers are examining how much pressure mammogram machines need to apply to get accurate breast images.

Until widespread customized mammograms are offered, women can take various steps to reduce the amount of discomfort they feel while undergoing these important screening procedures.

Bra fitting after mastectomy or reconstruction

B

special bras called Òmastectomy bras.Ó John Hopkins Medicine advises that mastectomy boutiques and specialty shops carry a variety of prosthetics and garments. Such shops also may employ certified fitters who are skilled at fitting women who have undergone treatment for breast cancer.

Women should know that their bodies may change after undergoing a mastectomy. It may be necessary to get sized after surgery and frequently thereafter to accommodate for weight loss/gain and other changes as one ages. The Pink Bra, a mastectomy bra specialty retailer, advises every woman should have her bra and breast form fitting checked at least once per year to allow for changes in weight or body shape that may occur as a result of post-surgery treatment.

Certain bra styles may feel and look better to women than others, depending on the type of surgery and reconstruction

they had. For example, a camisole bra may help cover surgical scars while a conventional strap bra might be suitable when no tissue has been removed under the clavicle. It may take some trial and error to find a brand, style and size that is most comfortable.

A surgeon will recommend the appropriate time to start wearing a prosthesis or undergo further reconstruction. He or she also can advise when substantial healing has occurred so that bra fittings will be most accurate. A physician may write a prescription for any prosthetic device or mastectomy bra so patients’ insurance companies will cover them. John Hopkins says that, in the United States, most insurance companies will cover up to four mastectomy bras per year.

When properly sized and fitted for a woman’s needs, post-mastectomy bras will look natural and feel comfortable.

ra manufacturers insist that millions of women wear the wrong size bras. According to an international survey of 10,000 women from Swiss lingerie company Triumph, 64 percent of women are wearing the wrong size bra. Other studies suggest that figure is closer to 80 percent.

While it can be challenging for women with healthy breasts to get the right fit, a well-fitting bra is essential, especially for those who have undergone mastectomy or reconstruction after breast cancer.

Post-mastectomy and lumpectomy procedures vary. Some women opt for a prosthesis, which is essentially a breast form (silicone, foam or fiber-fill) that is placed inside of a bra or attached to the chest wall. Other women choose to undergo surgical reconstruction that will involve the insertion of an implant.

Curtail cocktails to reduce breast cancer risk? ixed messages exist regarding the health benefits and implications of frequent, yet controlled alcohol consumption. While some studies suggest a drink or two a day promotes long-term health, other data indicates that even sipping an average of 10 grams of alcohol per day can increase a person’s risk of cancer.

According to Anne McTiernan, a cancer prevention researcher at Seattle’s Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, the equivalent of a small glass of wine, an eightounce beer or one ounce of hard liquor is associated with a 5 percent increased risk of breast cancer in premeno-

M

pausal women and a 9 percent increase in postmenopausal women.

Other data paints a similar picture. Compared to women who don’t drink at all, women who have three alcoholic drinks per week have a 15 percent greater risk of breast cancer. Experts estimate that the risk of breast cancer goes up another 10 percent for each additional drink women regularly have each day. And younger women also are at risk. Teen and tween girls who drink between three and five alcoholic beverages a week increase their risk of developing benign breast lumps.

The cancer information and research organization

BreastCancer.org notes that research consistently indicates that drinking alcoholic beverages increases a woman’s risk of hormone-receptor-positive breast cancer. This is because alcohol can impact levels of estrogen and other hormones associated with this particular type of breast cancer.

Furthermore, alcohol may damage DNA in cells, resulting in increased breast cancer risk.

Drinking alcohol does not mean women or men are destined to be diagnosed with breast cancer. Alcohol is just one of many variables that can increase a person’s risk of getting the disease.

in general, curtailing cocktail consumption may help to slightly reduce breast cancer risk in particular. However, women can take many other steps to reduce their risk for breast cancer.

Diet and exercise can benefit overall health in various ways, including reducing a person’s risk for breast cancer. Various reports suggest that vigorous exercise, like cycling or running, can reduce a woman’s risk of postmenopausal breast cancer by nearly 10 percent compared to less active women. Choosing healthy foods can keep weight in check, helping to reduce the risk of breast cancer.

While certain breast cancer risk factors, including gender and age, are beyond women’s control, the American Cancer Society notes that certain factors are related to personal behaviors.

Alcohol consumption is one such lifestyle-related risk factor for breast cancer. Compared with nondrinkers, women who consume between two and five alcoholic drinks per day have about a 1.5 times greater risk of developing breast cancer than women who abstain from alcohol. A woman’s risk of developing breast cancer increases only slightly compared to nondrinkers if she has just one alcoholic beverage per day. Weight is another breast cancer risk factor that women can control. Women who are overweight or obese have a greater risk of developing breast cancer than those who are not. Prior to menopause, womens’ ovaries make most of their estrogen, with fat tissue making just a small amount. But womens’ ovaries stop making estrogen when they enter menopause, at which time fat tissue produces most of their estrogen. Having excessive fat tissue can increase estrogen levels and raise a woman’s risk for breast cancer. If or when a woman decides to have children can also affect her risk for breast cancer. According to the ACS, women who have not had children or who had their first child after turning 30 have a slightly higher risk of being diagnosed with breast cancer than women who had many pregnancies and became pregnant at an early age. -Metro

Understanding the diagnosis by the stages of breast cancer

U

Stage 0 Non-invasive breast cancers are considered to be in stage 0. When doctors have determined the cancer is in stage 0, that means they have not seen any indication that the cancer cells or the abnormal non-cancerous cells have spread out of the part of the breast in which they started.

Breast cancer patients may hear the term Ă&#x2019;five-year survival rateĂ&#x201C; when discussing their disease with their physicians. The five-year survival rate refers to the percentage of people who live at least five years after being diagnosed with cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, the five-year survival rate for women with stage 0 breast cancer is nearly 100 percent.

Stage I Stage I refers to invasive breast cancer and is broken down into two categories: stage IA and stage IB. Stage IA refers to invasive breast cancers in which the tumor is up to two centimeters and the cancer has not spread outside the breast. The lymph nodes are not involved in stage IA breast cancers. In some stage IB breast cancers, there is no tumor in the breast but there are small groups of cancer cells in the lymph nodes larger than 0.2 millimeter but not larger than two millimeters.

But stage IB breast cancers may also refer to instances when there is both a tumor in the breast that is no larger than two centimeters and small groups of cancer cells in the lymph nodes that are larger than 0.2 millimeter but no larger than two millimeters.

The ACS notes that the fiveyear survival rate for stage I breast cancers is roughly 100 percent.

Stage II Stage II breast cancers are also divided into two subcategories: stage IIA and stage IIB. Both subcategories are invasive, but stage II breast cancers are more complex than stage 0 or stage I breast cancers. Stage IIA describes breast cancers in which no tumor can be found in the breast, but cancer that is larger than two millimeters is found in one to three axillary lymph nodes (the lymph nodes under the arm) or in the lymph nodes near the breast bone. But an invasive breast cancer can still be considered stage IIA if the tumor

Metro

measures two centimeters or smaller and has spread to the axillary lymph nodes or if the tumor is larger than two centimeters but not larger than five centimeters and has not spread to the axillary lymph nodes.

Stage IIB breast cancer describes breast cancers in which the tumor is larger than two centimeters but no larger than five centimeters, and there are small groups of breast cancer cells in the lymph nodes. These small groups of cells are larger than 0.2 millimeters but no larger than two millimeters.

Stage IIB may also be used

to describe breast cancers in which the tumor is larger than two centimeters but no larger than five centimeters and the cancer has spread to between one and three axillary lymph nodes or to lymph nodes near the breastbone.

Tumors that are larger than five centimeters but have not spread to the axillary lymph nodes may also be referred to as stage IIB breast cancers.

The five-year survival rate for stage II breast cancers is about 93 percent.

Stage III Stage III cancers are invasive breast cancers broken

down into three categories: IIIA, IIIB and IIIC. When patients are diagnosed with stage IIIA breast cancer, that means doctors may not have found a tumor in their breast or the tumor may be any size.

In stage IIIA, cancer may have been found in four to nine axillary lymph nodes or in the lymph nodes near the breastbone. Tumors larger than five centimeters that are accompanied by small groups of breast cancer cells (larger than 0.2 millimeter but no larger than two millimeters) in the lymph nodes also indicate a breast cancer has advanced to stage IIIA. But stage IIIA may also be used to describe breasts cancers in which the tumor is larger than five centimeters and the cancer has spread to one to three axillary lymph nodes or to the lymph nodes near the breastbone.

A stage IIIB breast cancer diagnosis indicates the tumor may be any size and has spread to the chest wall and/or the skin of the breast, causing swelling or an ulcer.

The cancer may have spread to up to nine axillary lymph nodes or may have spread to the lymph nodes near the breastbone.

In stage IIIC breast cancer, doctors may not see any sign of cancer in the breast.

If there is a tumor, it may be any size and may have spread to the chest wall and/ or the skin of the breast. To be categorized as stage IIIC, the cancer must also have spread to 10 or more axillary lymph nodes or to the lymph nodes above or below the collarbone or to the axillary lymph nodes or lymph nodes near the breastbone. The ACS notes that women diagnosed with stage III breast cancer are often successfully treated and that the five-year survival rate is 72 percent.

Stage IV Invasive breast cancers that have spread beyond the breast and lymph nodes to other areas of the body are referred to as stage IV. Stage IV breast cancer may be a recurrence of a previous breast cancer, though some women with no prior history of breast cancer receive stage IV diagnoses. The fiveyear survival rate for stage IV breast cancers is 22 percent.

pon receiving a breast cancer diagnosis, patients will soon receive a pathology report that informs them about the stage their cancer is in. The stage indicates how advanced the cancer is and whether or not it is limited to one area of the breast or has spread to other tissue or even other parts of the body. Understanding the stages of breast cancer can help patients cope with their diagnoses more effectively.

Once the doctor has completed all the necessary testing, patients will then receive their pathology reports, which will include the stage of the cancer. The following rundown of the various stages of breast cancer can help breast cancer patients better understand their disease.

The most frequently diagnosed cancers Certain cancers are diagnosed far more frequently than others. But cancers that are diagnosed most often are not necessarily the most deadly cancers, nor are they always the most treatable. They simply represent those cancers with the highest prevalence.

According to data from the American Cancer Society and the National Cancer Institute, excluding nonmelanoma skin cancers, the following cancers are those diagnosed with the greatest frequency.

Breast cancer Topping the list in the number of diagnoses is breast cancer. An estimated 254,000 new cases occur each year. However, breast cancer that is caught early tends to be highly treatable.

Lung cancer Lung cancer, including cancer of the bronchus, accounts for roughly 223,000 diagnoses each year. The fatality rate for lung cancer is

much higher than it is for breast cancer, with an estimated 156,000 deaths from lung cancer each year.

Prostate cancer Prostate cancer only affects men, making the number of cases even more striking. Prostate cancer diagnoses equal around 160,000 new cases annually. However, since prostate cancer grows slowly, treatment is often successful.
