GENES Continued from pg. 1 b

Melodie’s sister, Wendy Bayless, tested negative. “So we have three generations — the ones who had/have breast cancer and found out before or shortly after BRCA testing, my cousin and I who know we have the mutation and have to make decisions about how to reduce our risk, and my cousin’s two daughters, who have a 50/50 chance of inheriting the mutation but are too young to be tested,” she added. Carolyn’s children are 6 and 2½. Melodie’s three children, who are 10, 8 and 4, are adopted, eliminating any concern of risk to them. From her standpoint, Melodie said one of the biggest lessons for her has been that breast cancer risk doesn’t have to come from your mother or your mother’s side of the family. “I am still asked by doctors to report on the incidence of breast cancer among my mom, sister and others on mom’s side of the family. They rarely ask about my dad’s side or whether any men on his side have had prostate cancer, or whether there were any cases of melanoma, ovarian, pancreatic or colon cancer — which are also increased in BRCA positive people.” “It is important to look at both sides of your family and consider other cancers besides breast cancer,” she said. “My mother had a sister who died of ovarian cancer at 48 or 49,” Herb said, “and then my mother, our mother, died of ovarian cancer at age 68. And so at that point nobody knew anything about the mutation. But then our sister, Wanda Birch — she was diagnosed with breast cancer.” Wanda, who was 58 when the first breast cancer appeared, was urged to undergo BRCA testing. She then had a second mastectomy – before the breast was pre-cancerous. She tested negative for BRCA1, but positive for BRCA2. With BRCA1, the National Cancer Institute defines it as “A gene on chromosome 17 that normally helps to suppress cell growth. A person who inherits certain mutations (changes) in a BRCA1 gene has a higher risk of getting breast, ovarian, prostate and other types of cancer.” Speaking on behalf of her mother, Carolyn said Wanda was “very grateful for the medical research and technology that allows us to identify the mutation.” She also said her mother was grateful for the doctor and the nurse practitioner that encouraged her to be tested. That recommendation

The Mechanicsville Local

November 10, 2010

may have helped save at least five lives. Wanda, Carolyn added, “would strongly urge any woman with two or more close relatives who have had breast cancer or ovarian cancer to be tested.” After Wanda’s diagnosis, it was recommended that her younger sisters, Joan and Jean, be tested. “When I was positive,” Joan said, “I just assumed she was,” referring to identical twin, Jean. In 2008, Jean underwent the testing, which was followed by surgeries in 2009. While the statistics for male breast cancer, according to Cancer.Net, account for only one percent of all breast cancer cases, it is still a real threat – especially in families with a BRCA gene mutation. A male with a BRCA2 mutation has a 6-7 percent chance of developing breast cancer, as compared to 0.1 percent for a male without the mutation. “I was tested for two reasons,” Herb said, “one for me personally because it increases a male’s risk of male breast cancer and prostate cancer and melanoma. The other reason that I was tested is because I have two daughters.” He tested positive early in 2009. As the Fearnow’s pursue family medical history and any possible links to the cancers associated with BRCA, Jean pointed out they recently learned one of their mother’s sisters has breast cancer. As the mother of two daughters, Joan did not want to reveal their names, but did say one tested negative and the other had not taken the test. “I have a son,” Jean said, “but he hasn’t been tested.” She said he plans to undergo testing. She also said he has a son. As for their status, “We’re going to find out; we will find out.” For 22 years, Joan had mammograms, but “never anything suspicious [appeared].” When she learned she was BRCA positive, with an invasive ductile carcinoma, she underwent six months of chemotherapy. Today, she said, she is “fine. I go every three months (for check-ups) and am doing well.” Jean did not have to take chemotherapy. Dealing with BRCA also involves surveillance, which means undergoing a yearly MRI, followed by a mammogram six months later. The three sisters have had mastectomies and undergone reconstruction – all because of BRCA2 “or the beginnings of breast cancer,” Jean said. As the first to undergo surgery, Wanda “prepared us,” Jean said. “We kind of knew

what to expect. To fear the unknown is really hard. She told us.” “I knew what to expect,” Joan said. “I hear from them [aunts] what it is like and I know I can do it,” Melodie said. “I can do it.” Herb has been following the surveillance type procedures similar to the twins, with a baseline mammogram and an MRI. He also must be vigilant in checking for prostate issues. “I’ve been going every six months to a urologist to get my prostate checked,” he said. For preventive purposes, the twins had hysterectomies in the 1990s. “We just did it because of our mother, our family history,” they said. “When I got the positive test results, the first recommendation was to go see a gyn [gynecological] oncologist,” Melodie said. “The biggest concern for us [Carolyn and me] was ovarian cancer, because there can be few symptoms and there are no good tests to detect it,” Melodie said. “The clear recommendation is to have your ovaries and tubes removed, ideally before age 40. I was 42.” Melodie does not have breast cancer, but is a patient at the VCU Massey Cancer Center. “They manage my breast cancer risk with increased surveillance and chemoprevention. But the recommendations for breast cancer risk reduction are not as clear cut as the ones for ovarian cancer.” She said, “You have to take your personal history and your family history into account and then decide the amount of risk you’re willing to live with.” Melodie continues to seek information on BRCA, gaining knowledge from websites such as Facing Our Risk of Cancer Empowered (http://www.facingourrisk.org/). “Our family history includes both breast cancer and ovarian cancer — and we have both estrogen positive and estrogen negative breast cancer.” In July 2007, the Fearnow siblings lost a brother, Raymond, to multiple myeloma, which, Herb said, “is an aggressive form of leukemia. He took a lot of chemo and had two stem cell transplants.” However, Herb said, “Melanoma is really what took over and killed him, so we don’t know for sure if he was positive or not [for BRCA].” Like her father and aunts, Melodie follows a surveillance schedule with MRIs and mammograms. She is also on a targeted five-year regimen of low-dose chemotherapy. “It’s one thing not to know,” Melodie said of her BRCA status. “If you’re see GENES, pg. 8 `

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

We should thank our vets every day Some have given the ultimate sacrifice and, because of them, we enjoy freedoms still unknown throughout parts of the world. Tomorrow we will pay tribute — much deservedly — to the men and women who have served this great nation in our military. While Nov. 11 is the official date to recognize our veterans, we should thank them every day. Their contributions cannot be measured — and neither can the respect we should always bestow upon them. The three Kinser brothers, my father and his two older brothers, left the hills of West Virginia to serve their country, with a true American spirit. My uncles served in the U.S. Navy during World War II and Dad joined the U.S. Army Air Corps (now U.S. Air Force) when he graduated from high school in 1946. He was fortunate because it was peacetime. And, even though he did not see the kind of action his brothers (the eldest who was on the USS Raleigh when Pearl Harbor was bombed) experienced, he did serve proudly. Until the day he died in 1992, Dad carried his military identification in his wallet. That gives you an idea of how important his service was to the country he so loved. During a visit to Los Angeles in the mid-1980s, nearly 40 years after he left Muroc Army Air Field — renamed Edwards Air Force Base in 1949 — Dad was allowed on the base, thanks to that military ID in his wallet. He was so proud to be acknowledged for his service. Regardless of what branch, or if it’s in times of war or peace, those who have served or continue to serve deserve our thanks, our respect, our gratitude every day of the year. Just like that farm boy from West Virginia who left home in 1946, there is a sweet humbleness we see in those who serve these United States of America. And, for that, we are truly blessed. Thank a vet today, thank a vet tomorrow, thank a vet every day. Melody Kinser

LETTERS Continued from pg. 6 b

Why so many copies? Because parents sometimes shift fliers in the wrong place or forget to respond the first time. Cool Spring is attempting another year of a No Sales Fundraiser, where we simply looked at the budget approved by parents and went with the majority opinion that would rather write a check for $25 per child than be forced to sell many more dollars worth of items to neighbors who would be swamped with fundraisers by other children in the neighborhood.

The No Sales approach saves people from feeling forced to buy items that are overinflated, that they don’t really want, and keeps our children safe. It also allows donations to be 100 percent tax deductible and allows corporate matching. Four weeks of fliers in Tuesday folders may seem excessive. However, we see increased participation each week after another round of fliers. In fact, we have tracked weekly participation simply by producing fliers in different colors so we can understand which week parents responded to our call. We also have used e-mail delivery as well to make sure

If it wasn’t for Wanda, Joan said, “I wouldn’t have had a breast MRI.” “Some people have preventative mastectomies because the stress of surveillance gets to be too much; and they want to do everything they can to reduce their risk of breast cancer,” Melodie said. “I’ve only been doing surveillance for a year and a half.” Pointing to Melodie, Herb said, “As she has said, knowledge is power.” “We can do the things we need to do to take care of ourselves,” Melodie said. “Carolyn and I can live with this gene mutation and not have to experience ovarian cancer and hopefully avoid breast cancer. Jean and Joan agree that “Everyone with a family history should have a breast MRI.” “We have this bond that I think makes us a stronger family,” Jean said. Melodie said this medical issue has brought her closer to her cousin Carolyn, who grew up in the Newport News area. “One thing that has come out of this is she and I talk a lot on Facebook or e-mail and we can ask questions about symptoms that maybe we don’t feel comfortable asking anyone else. And we touch base constantly about if/when we are thinking about surgery, reconstruction; how we are tolerating the medication. It’s been nice to have that relationship.”

our message meets the most students. Without parent response, we would have had to cut vital programs that supplement our children’s education. I understand how the schools seem to always ask for money. However, we also have to understand that Hanover County as a whole spends less than the majority of districts in the state per pupil. Part of that reduced spending can be attributed to more efficiency. Part is a way to keep taxes down and pushes some of the burden on parents. Our schools do not have many of the technological advances that others in our

She said she has always been told “You look just like your dad; or you’re a Fearnow. I inherited a lot from my dad: love of the outdoors, sports — this is just one more thing.” Melodie did say she finds comfort in humor and good friends and family in her life. As for Carolyn, she learned she was BRCA2 positive in February 2009 when she was still nursing her youngest daughter. “I had to stop nursing — to pretty much go ahead and get mammograms and an MRI.” Since that time, she has had a complete hysterectomy and is “looking into a full mastectomy and reconstruction in the next couple of years, if not sooner.” “Luckily,” she said, “we knew we were done having kids when I found out about my diagnosis, so it wasn’t as difficult to decide to have a hysterectomy. And they say that can significantly reduce your chance of getting breast cancer, so it just made sense.” Like her other family members, she has the six-month intervals of MRIs and mammograms. “I would like to do anything I can to actually prevent getting cancer, which is why I want to get a mastectomy before [cancer appears].” Carolyn’s mother had breast cancer in 2001 and underwent a partial mastectomy. “She chose to do that rather than have radiation and at the time the model that was used to determine if you were at risk for the BRCA mutation said she was not a candidate for the testing.” In 2008, Carolyn said Wanda’s oncology nurse practitioner “strongly encouraged

When recently visiting schools in Virginia and in other states, I found that every classroom had a smart board -- even in preschool. These tools have major learning impacts and allow students access to real time feedback. As a PTA, we are trying to raise funds for more of these advances to even our students with their peers with whom they will be competing for jobs in the future. All money colsee LETTERS, pg. 13 `

her to have the testing.” “Interestingly enough, I had my annual exam with my ob/gyn (obstetrician/gynecologist),” Carolyn said. “She said ‘Your mom really needs to get tested for the BRCA genetic mutation’ and when she told her mom what the doctor said, her mom replied, ‘I’m actually meeting with the counselor next week.’ It was in the fall of 2008 that she found out and she had the other mastectomy.” The realization of testing positive for BRCA was especially difficult for Carolyn as the mother of two girls. “That’s what hit me the hardest . . . the thought of having passed it down to my kids.” Addressing the issue with her daughters will be delayed until they are at least teenagers. “We’ve gotten some different feedback on that,” she said of when she should talk to them about the mutation. She is very aware there is that 50/50 chance that “my kids might be negative.” “I am very grateful that I was already married and had children when I found out about this,” she said. “I can’t imagine being a young single woman or man and finding out about this and then having to make decisions about marriage and whether or not to have a family.” “In the meantime, I try to do everything I can to keep healthy,” Carolyn said. With the exception of Wanda and Carolyn, who live in Yorktown, the other Fearnow’s still reside in Mechanicsville and Hanover County. The family produced Mrs. Fearnow’s Delicious Brunswick Stew until 1999 at Hope Farm on Shady Grove Road.

Remembering our veterans Photos submitted by Diane Dillard

On Sept. 29, Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 9808 and Hanover Adult Center held a celebration to honor veterans and their families. The honorees were Thomas Preston Gill and Dona Ruth Sjogren. Preston served in the U.S. Army during World War II and received eight medals. He is shown in the photo at left during his war service. He was recognized with a brick designating his service at Hanover Wayside Park. Gill endured many hardships during his time in the Army and said he almost “froze to death” while in the Armed Services. Sjogren served in the U.S. Marine Corps during WWII, reaching the rank of first lieutenant, as a quartermaster for three years. Before enlisting in the Armed Forces, she was a college professor and taught English. Sjogren said all but one of her freshmen students had served in the war, prompting her to want to be informed so she joined the Marines. The Hanover Adult Center extended its thanks to Nancy Smithson, president of the Ladies Auxiliary, and Mr. and Mrs. Al Jones of VFW Post 9808 for helping to make the event a success. Shown in the photo at right are, from left, seated, Dona Ruth Sjogren and Thomas Preston Gill, and, standing, Edith Jones, Al Jones, Nancy Smithson, president of the Ladies Auxiliary, VFW Post 9808, and Teresa Butler, Gill’s daughter.

If I Could Turn Back Time… By Pastor David Crisp, Senior Pastor

o ahead, sing a few bars! I know you want to! I guess I was thinking about that ’89 Cher standard (kinda weird to mention Cher, 1989, and “standard” in the same sentence, huh!) since last Saturday night we did just that: we turned back time. Of course, the hour we gained moving from daylight savings time back to standard time will be lost again next spring when we turn our clocks forward, but for one fleeting moment anyway, we got to do what many of us often wish we could, we got to turn back time. Unlike Frank Sinatra, whose regrets were “too few to mention,” most of us have plenty of them: missed chances, blown opportunities and words we shouldn’t have said. Many spend their lives playing the “coulda, woulda, shoulda, if-only” game.

hat should we do with our regrets? We can’t really “turn back time” in the sense that we can change the past. Is it “water over the dam” or “water under the bridge?” I don’t know, but either way, you get the picture, what’s done is done! … Or is it? The answer is….yes!.... and no!

he Apostle Paul was a fellow who had lots of past mistakes: stoning Stephen, persecuting the church, denying Christ, to name a few! In fact Paul calls himself “the worst of sinners!” But Paul did not let his past sins keep him from Christ’s service. Instead, he loudly proclaimed his sinful unworthiness as an example of God’s mighty saving grace! “The grace of our Lord was poured out on me abundantly, along with the faith and love that are in Christ Jesus. Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners—of whom I am the worst.” (1Tim. 1:14-15) Paul could have let his regrets eat him alive, but instead he saw and received the grace, mercy and forgiveness of the cross that actually has the power to “turn back time”- making us justified: “just-as-if-I’d” never sinned! (Rom 5:1-2) Paul refuses the devil’s condemnation and he exhorts us to not allow the devil to pummel us with our past either! “Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit who gives life has set you free from the law of sin and death!” (Rom 8:1-2)

he blood of Jesus can, in a spiritual sense, “turn back time” removing all the guilt, shame and punishment which we deserve because of our sin! We must confess our sins to God and repent of them and by faith put our trust in Jesus’ finished work on the cross, and when we do He removes all the negative spiritual consequences of our past sins. However, the earthly consequences remain. Stephen was still dead. (Remember, I said the answer was both yes!... and no!) Sometimes our sins do have painful earthly consequences that God doesn’t remove. He wants us and others to see and remember that when we live according to our own desires, not doing things His way, (i.e. sin,) that those sinful actions bring pain and death. If it didn’t hurt when we touched a hot stove, we’d do it over and over. Pain has a purpose! But regrets…. not so much.

od does not want us to wallow in our past sin, failures or missed opportunities, rather He wants us to “let the dead bury the dead” and follow Him! Paul, puts it this way, “Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.”

hy not use this seasonal clock change as a reminder to do more than just exchange the batteries in your smoke detector. Exchange your sinful past for a forgiven future, condemnation for freedom, regrets for motivation. Give Him your sin, guilt, shame and punishment, and receive righteousness, peace and joy!

lected by the Cool Spring PTA supplements the educational experience of every child at the school and helps our school remain competitive. I would like to thank the parents of Cool Spring and other elementary schools who volunteer their time and their financial donations to the students at their schools. For those who cannot give to school fundraising as they

don’t have the means, I ask that you don’t feel pressure from those of us who are trying to raise funds and do not know your personal story. I am sure your PTA would love any time you have to volunteer in lieu of financial gifts. I personally work full time making less than $10 an hour this year and have found time each evening and weekend to help run the fall fundraiser. I especially would like to call parents who are upset with fundraising or polices at the school

to find ways to attend a PTA meeting or share their ideas. They may have a valid point or a great suggestion. Unfortunately, the last PTA meeting at Cool Spring of 704 students was only attended by about 30 parents. We can not make changes or hear comments if we are not aware of them. The P in PTA stands for all parents. Membership statistics affect real estate values as they are published in the community. Please consider the time

and money is takes to help out students be successful. Julie Quillin PTA Ways and Means chair Cool Spring Elementary School Mechanicsville

Nothing has changed I came to work this morning, Nov. 3, 2010, expecting things to be different since the election last night but as always nothing has changed.

I take that back, nothing has changed except we are now obligated to have more of our money held in a rainy day fund. Did some voters think it was the politician’s money that was going to be held in this fund? After all that’s happened over the last eight to 10 years, why would we trust these guys with any funds at all? They found almost a billion dollars at VDOT they didn’t know they had. Hanover and Chesterfield counties found money they

didn’t know they had. I don’t know how anyone can be so incompetent to displace this much money. But then the incompetence doesn’t stop there as, “since we didn’t know we had it, let’s give it away”. I assume rainy day funds lean more to having money on hand to shell out in hard times for government employee bonuses, raises or other benefits. see LETTERS, pg. 15 `

LETTERS Continued from pg. 13 b

I guess I answered my own question about who voted for this amendment. I read somewhere that the average government salary, state, local and federal is $82,000 per year. How can it be justified either legally or morally to live so much better than the average “taxed payer” in salary, perks, health insurance, life insurance, vacations, retirement, holidays, snow days and sick days? Why not tax us a bit more and put us all on the same local government benefit plans? The working taxed payers get absolutely zip. No monuments, No street signs, No buildings, bridges or schools named after us, No named holidays and no credit for the money we give to make the streets safe, or to build better schools and not even credit for being law abiding Hanover County citizens so

there is no crime to speak of. I hear so often people getting accolades for time spent in public service and doing their part for the community. I would liked to have done my part in public service as they did but the DNA lines for these high paying jobs are so long that I had to take a regular job to pay the bills. The TV commercial this week says it all: Keep making debt and taxing ourselves and we will be working for the Chinese eventually. I suggest the following amendment next round. “Any and all monies made by self described public servants for public appearances, speeches, book deals and all other means based on references to their experiences in taxed payer funded positions be given to a fund that can be distributed solely for the welfare and well being of any and all of our military personnel, veterans, disabled, jobless, afflicted and

immediate family. Ted Mentz Old Church

Expense at issue with India trip The letters defending Obama from a cartoonist were printed the same week he was heading off to India. The media is reporting that he is taking 3,000 people with him, that we have rented an entire luxury resort for the trip and the cost is $200,000,000 a day. Anyone wasting so much money is not a leader, is not level headed, is not “working for good solid middle class America”, does not deserve to be respected and, at a minimum, deserves to be attacked by cartoonists. I realize the President needs to go overseas to meet with foreign dignitaries.

I realize he needs assistants and protection on such trips. I also realize that some of the costs are fixed costs (like salaries) that would be paid regardless of whether people went on the trip. Regardless of all of that, taking 3,000 people to India, reserving an entire luxury resort (scouted out by Mrs. Obama on her vacation to India) and spending $200,000,000 a day is a travesty. That is particularly true when our country is drowning in debt, we have 10 percent-plus unemployment and people are struggling to pay their taxes. I believe such arrogance, poor judgment and disrespect for the money of others are reasons enough to throw this man out of office in 2014. Finally, I realize this is my opinion and many will disagree. That is, of course, acceptable, right and to be expected. But, if you respond, please do not use as your reasoning the argument that $200,000,000 a day is a drop in the bucket and

immaterial when compared to the federal budget. I am really tired of Obama and other politicians using this illogic to defend their spending actions. Two hundred million a day is a lot of money and if you don’t think it is please send it to me. If the number of people going to India were cut to keep the cost to $100,000,000 a day we could save $100,000,000 a day and that is still a lot of money. Two hundred million here

and $200,000,000 there is soon a billion that could pay for a lot of health care that Obama wants to provide and a billion dollars is a whole lot of money.

Walgreens locating at 360/Lee Davis Drugstore targets third quarter 2011 to open at corner site in Mechanicsville Morgan Property Group LLC (“MPG”) is announcing the development of a new freestanding Walgreens drugstore at the southeast corner of Mechanicsville Turnpike (U.S. 360) and Lee Davis Road in Mechanicsville. This will be the 17th Walgreens developed by MPG in Virginia. MPG, through its affiliate, Mechanicsville Tpk Realty LLC, assembled two parcels for this development. The first was a gas station (about .885 acre) from SMO Incorporated out of LaPlata, Md. The second was a small retail building on an outparcel (about .923 acre) to Hanover Village shopping center owned by USRP I LLC and managed by Regency Realty Group Inc. Jones Realty and Construction

Corporation represented MPG in the acquisition from USRP I LLC. The 14,470-square-foot Walgreens drugstore is targeted to open in the third quarter of 2011. “We view this as one of the best intersections in the greater Richmond area,” Trey Morgan, executive vice president of MPG, said. “This new facility for Walgreens should be an excellent addition to the strong retail corridor in this area.” Walgreens Co., based in Deerfield, Ill., is the nation’s largest drugstore chain with fiscal 2009 sales of $63 billion. The company operates 7,149 drugstores in all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Walgreens provides access to consumer goods and services and pharmacy,

health and wellness services in America through its retail drugstores, Walgreens Health Services division and Walgreens Health and Wellness division. For 33 years, Morgan Property Group has been in the commercial real estate development and brokerage business. With offices in both Charlotte, N.., and Fort Lauderdale, Fla., MPG focuses on neighborhood shopping center and single-tenant retail projects anchored by repeat build to suit clients like Walgreens, Publix, Cook Out and McDonald’s. MPG, along with its affiliates, has several active development projects in Florida, Virginia, Maryland, Washington, D.C., Georgia, and the Carolinas.

Choral concert to feature 35 Hanover, city churches More than 80 choir members and musicians from 35 Hanover and Richmond area churches will combine their talents with professional soloists and musicians at 8 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 13, at the annual Music in the Old Church choral concert at Grace and Holy Trinity Episcopal Church at 8 N. Laurel St. in Richmond. Accompanied by a 13member professional orchestra, the choir will present the Virginia premiere of “Eternal Light – A Requiem,” by Howard Goodall, a British composer. The second half of the concert will feature an eclectic mixture of contemporary, traditional, world rhythms and interesting harmonies.

Individual anthems by other British composers will be presented, including the U.S. debut of “I May Be Able To Speak,” by Huw CatchpoleDavies, and several Paul Halley pieces. Sponsored by Immanuel Episcopal Old Church, the concert series began in 1997 in the small historical church in eastern Hanover County under the direction of Jimmy Hicks, Immanuel’s minister of music. Concert tickets are $12, available at the door or from choir members. Free parking will be available on request at the VCU deck at Laurel and Main.

programs, Melanie will help steer this college to meet academic and strategic goals that are in alignment with the leadership, mission and values of Bon Secours Health System.” In 2010, the college received accreditation from the Accrediting Council for Independent Colleges & Schools, enabling the college to offer a four-year bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) program. The college enrolled its inaugural BSN class of 56 students in August 2010, and next year it will celebrate 50 years of educating nurses in the Richmond community. “When I first started talking to the Bon Secours leadership community, it became clear to me early on that Bon Secours has a truly good way of doing business in health care and health-care education,” Green said. “There is a true collaboration and commitment to mission across the entire Bon Secours system which gives the College a tremendous opportunity to grow and expand.” Bon Secours Richmond has long demonstrated it is a national leader in nursing excellence. Two Bon Secours hospitals – St. Mary’s Hospital and Memorial Regional Medical Center – have Magnet Recognition for its nursing team, a prestigious and coveted designation awarded by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). As vice president/provost, Green will pro-

vide strategic vision and operational leadership to all aspects of the academic and scholarly program, ensuring that the college continues to serve its students with academic programs of the highest quality and effectiveness, as well as the scholarly activities of the faculty. Green also will be the college’s public voice, articulating its contributions in local, state, regional and national arenas of nursing, health care and health policy. Green spent 20 years at Our Lady of the Lake College, where she began her career as a skills lab coordinator and ended as dean of the School of Nursing – the largest unit of that college. As dean she provided leadership to 45 full-time faculty and 600 students enrolled in programs offering traditional ASN, accelerated ASN, LPN-RN transition, RN-BSN transition, MSN, and MS in nurse anesthesia. Green received her diploma in nursing in 1982 from Our Lady of the Lake School of Nursing. She earned a bachelor of science in Nursing from Southeastern Louisiana University, her master of nursing degree from Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center and her Ph.D. from Louisiana State University. Green has been a licensed registered nurse in the State of Louisiana since 1983.

E-recycling event to be held Saturday Do you have an old computer that you would like to recycle? Or perhaps some personal information or documents that you would like to have shredded? If so, and you are a Hanover County resident, you are invited to go to the Mechanicsville Solid Waste Service Convenience Center on Saturday, Nov. 13, for a special e-recycling event. Between 9 a.m. and 1 p.m., any electronic device with a plug will be accepted at no charge (except televisions). This includes computers, computer monitors, computer accessories (cables, wires, keyboards, mice, speakers, etc.), printers, scanners, copiers, fax machines, telephones, cell phones, VCRs, camcorders, stereos and micro-

waves. Televisions will cost $7 to recycle. You also can bring personal information or documents that you would like to be shredded. Individuals can bring up to four boxes approximately 10” by 14” by 18” in size. This document shredding service is available only to Hanover County residents. The Mechanicsville Solid Waste Service Convenience Center is located at 7427 Verdi Lane (Route 710) off Pole Green Road. For more information about this event, or about recycling and other solid waste issues in Hanover County, call the Department of Public Works at 365-6181 or visit www.

Congestion expected at convenience centers Hanover County urges citizens who normally use the Mechanicsville Convenience Center on Verdi Lane to expect bigger crowds and longer waits the weekend after the Thanksgiving holiday. Residents are urged to plan to take their solid waste and recycling to “less busy” centers such as the U.S. 301/Courthouse Convenience Center on Courtland Farm Road near Hanover Courthouse. Lines are expected to be particularly long that weekend because most centers will be closed for three consecutive days, Nov. 24-26. All of the county’s convenience centers, except for the one at U.S. 301/Courthouse, are closed every Wednesday and all centers will be closed on Thanksgiving and the day after Thanksgiving, which are official county holidays. Another option for that

holiday weekend is to wait until later in the week beginning Monday, Nov. 29, or go before Nov. 24. The county asks that citizens hold their recyclables until later in the week because it will not be possible to service the recycling collection containers during the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. “We anticipate very heavy crowds particularly at the Mechanicsville Center on Verdi Lane, in particular when the centers reopen at 7 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 27,” Steve Chidsey, chief of public works operations, said. “As is normal practice, all convenience centers will close promptly at 7 p.m. Unfortunately, citizens that are in a line outside the gates at this time will have to be turned away so the centers can be closed. We want folks to know ahead of time and plan accordingly and avoid some frustration.”

this event. More information on the CVWMA can be found at www. cvwma.com or by calling 3400900.

Hanover Carpet: ‘down-home’ feeling More than 20 years ago in 1989, Bill Reynolds and Doody Meyers opened a new Abbey carpet store where Newell Furniture once resided in downtown Mechanicsville. Reynolds and Meyers said Hanover Carpet is more than just a flooring store, and offers a friendly, knowledgeable staff that lends a “down-home family” feeling to every customer with whom they work. They said their motto is: Excellent quality with the best in customer service. The store offers hundreds of selections and styles, name brand carpets like Mohawk, Shaw and Baeulieu. Vinyl, lami-

nate, hardwood flooring, ceramic tile and other products dot the showroom. In the middle of all the flooring choices are carpet cleaning machines for rent with cleaning products. Hanover Carpet provides installation of all flooring with a guaranteed satisfaction statement. The professional installers at Hanover Carpet have more than 30 years of experience. The store also offers in-house binding and area rugs made on the premises to any specification.

In addition to the in-stock choices, Hanover Carpet can special order. In-home estimates are a specialty for Paul, Jimmy, Tammy, Bill and Doody. Among other products offered are more than 200 area rugs and remnants in stock, including oriental rugs. Free samples and expert advice are available. Hanover Carpet and Vinyl is located across from the Windmill at 8128 Mechanicsville Turnpike in downtown Mechanicsville. For more information, call 730-3500.

HHS Orchestra to perform at Disney World Big plans are in motion for the young musicians who comprise the Hanover High School Strings Orchestra. In April 2011, the Orchestra is scheduled to perform for hundreds or resort guests to help celebrate Disney Magic Music Days. The students who will represent Hanover County at the national event have been working since last year to raise the thousands of dollars needed to transport them to Orlando, Fla. Moving beyond the traditional fundraising projects, Orchestra members are making themselves available to perform at special events for Hanover residents and businesses to help make the Disney

trip a reality. These skilled musicians can provide live music of all types for restaurants, parties, weddings, dances, reunions, etc. For those who may wish to book the HHS Orchestra, or a smaller strings ensemble, contact Lucretia Davis, director, at lldavis@hcps.us, or send your request to hanoverorchestra@gmail.com. These students are seasoned performers who have played for the Hanover Tavern, Flying Squirrels games, Christmas at the Bass Pro Shop, County School Board functions, and Covenant Woods. The Orchestra consistently receives “Superior” ratings at District 1 festivals, and the students have distinguished

themselves as members of All County, Regional and State orchestras. Recent graduates of this program are now majoring in music at the Shenandoah Conservatory of Music and Indiana State University. As the Orchestra prepares for the Disney trip, preparation for two full concerts also is under way. They are “free” and open to the public and are performed at the Hanover High School Auditorium at 7 p.m. The Orchestra’s Winter Concert is set for Thursday, Dec. 9. To close the 2010-2011 season, the Spring Concert is scheduled for Wednesday, June 1, and full symphonic works will be perform.

Springers hold oﬀ Atlee in wild Capital District battle Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local When Highland Springs High School traveled to Atlee High School in a pivotal Capital District matchup Friday night, it seemed the outcome of the game would hinge on how well the Springers’ defense would fare against the Raiders’ offense. With the Springers up by three points with 1:35 left in the game, and Atlee facing a fourth-and-goal inside the 1, the outcome of the game did hinge on which of the two units would prevail. Atlee chose to go for the touchdown and victory instead of a field goal and overtime, but quarterback Drew Ferguson fell inches short of the goal line on a keeper and the Springers, ranked No. 8 in the Richmond Times-Dispatch poll, claimed a 34-31 win over the seventhranked Raiders. The loss imperils Atlee’s hopes for a playoff spot. It will have to beat Lee-Davis next week to edge its way past Petersburg into a playoff berth, but the Confederates, who have won three straight games -including victories over Capital District opponents Highland Springs and Henrico -- will not be pushovers. “The bottom line is we’ve got to win,” Atlee coach Roscoe Johnson said. “I don’t want to

get in the playoffs with three straight losses. I don’t think we deserve to be there if we go against Lee-Davis [High School] and we lose. I feel we have to have some kind of momentum going into it.” Atlee could have used a bit more momentum late in the game -- the physical kind of momentum that gets the ball across the goal line, but when the Raiders (2-3 Capital, 63) needed it most, they could not overcome a determined Springer defense. “The team fought back and the kids executed when they needed to,” Highland Springs coach Loren Johnson said. “Things went our way, things went their way down the stretch. But when we got on the 1-inch line . . . we wanted to make sure we stopped them, and that’s what we did.” The game turned into a quarterback’s duel, with Atlee’s Drew Ferguson completing 24 of 39 passes for 307 yards. Highland Springs’ Marcellus Carter completed nine of 13 passes for 194 yards. Both quarterbacks had three touchdown passes and two interceptions. Neither team seemed able to get the upper hand. The game was a seesaw contest from the start, with each team trading touchdowns through the first three quarters. Atlee took an early 14-7 lead at the end of

the first quarter, and went up by another touchdown, 21-7, halfway through the second. But in less than three minutes, the Springers (3-2, 7-2) tied the game on a touchdown pass and an interception return. While Atlee scored first in the first half, Highland Springs scored first in the third quarter

to take 28-21 lead, but Atlee immediately tied the game on the Raiders’ next drive. The Raiders took a 31-28 lead on a 32-yard field goal by Joseph Pulisic with 11:41 left in the fourth, but the Springers scored a touchdown to regain the lead on their next drive -- a blocked point after attempt left

the Raiders only a field goal away from a tie. In a penalty-marred fourth quarter, the Raiders began their final drive with about five minutes left. They marched their way to a first-and-goal at the 10 with less than three minutes left, but stalled at the 1-yard line.

The ejection of Josh Doggett - Atlee’s go-to guy in short yardage situations -- for unsportsmanlike conduct early in a penalty-marred fourth quarter may have seriously hurt the Raiders’ prospects in those final minutes. His penalty was one of 16 called in the fourth quarter.

Was there pressure? Were they overconfident? Were they ripe for an upset? Not a chance. With Claire Benjamin, Kara Dickerson and Kari Johnston finishing within seven seconds of each other in sixth, seventh, and eighth place, respectively, and Meghan Mulroy (13th) and Krista Willard (18th) claiming the allimportant fourth and fifth team spots, the Trojans (50 points) added a sixth trophy to their collection. Maggie Walker Governor’s School (65) placed second, Mills Godwin (89) third, and Cosby (127) fourth. “It’s not really a pressure situation,” said Benjamin, a senior who covered the 5K course at Pole Green Park in 18:37. “We enjoy trying to do our best. It’s not about ‘We have to keep this up.’ We really admire the teams that have come before us, but we don’t ever feel like we’re in their shadow. We’re just trying to do the best we can.”Cosby’s Megan Moye, the pre-race

favorite, fended off a challenge from Deep Run’s Erica Dobbs to claim the individual championship.Moye, a junior, led a group of nine through the first mile in 5:40, separated from Dobbs with 1,000 meters to go, and sailed through the finish in a course record 17:51. Dobbs, a Wildcats senior, placed second in 18:12.”The first mile was really relaxed,” said Moye. “There was no time plan. Just run by feel.”At about the halfway mark, Moye and Dobbs distanced themselves from the pack and matched stride for stride through rolling terrain and into a tough 300meter climb that took them into the third mile.”Erica’s an amazing competitor, and we were really pushing each other,” Moye said. “She led at one point. Then I would lead.”Finally, I realized I had to pick it up a notch, so I pulled away, and it just got farther and farther. When I have someone running right beside, I have to have two gears. One gear is at 800 (from the finish). Once I get to 400, I know I have to lay it all down on the course.” Her assessment of the Pole Green Park layout: “This course is brutal. It’s really not one of my favorites.” The top four teams and top 15 individuals advance to the Group AAA championship meet Saturday at Great Meadow. For the moment, though, Moye will savor her regional title. “I listened to my iPod and pictured the whole race in my head beforehand,” she said. “I pictured myself coming down the stretch. To actually have that happen . . . it’s absolutely amazing.”

Lady Raiders and Lady Hawks meet their goals JP Beauchamp For the Mechanicsville Local The Atlee Raiders faced off with the Lady Hawks of Hanover for the District Finals Championships, and not surprisingly, came away with their nineteenth 3-0 win of the season. At 10-0 for the district, the Raiders are 17-0 for the region and 20-1 overall. Always looking for excellence, the Raiders’ Head Coach, Curtis Carpenter said, “I felt we played pretty good. I don’t think we played as well as we can; but I’m still waiting for that day anyway. We’re definitely getting there. Hopefully we’re peaking at the right time. Pretty consistent across the boards. I was real pleased with

the girls all the way across. ” Though the Lady Hawks came to the district finals with their A game, the Raiders adjusted their play to keep tallying up points in their favor.. Said the Hawks, Head Coach, Karl Lippa, “Atlee threw a lot at us; and I was really pleased with how Game 1 went. I said ‘You are playing the best team that you will see in this Region by far.’ That was our goal, was to make them earn it. And I do think we made them earn a lot of the points, especially in game one and game three.” Lippa’s attestation to the Raider’s versatility was confirmed when Carpenter said, “One of the things I’m really proud of about this team is that we can definitely come at you in so many different

The Mechanicsville Local

areas. If the other team shuts us down in the middle, we can come at you from the back rows, either side. It’s a nice thing to have.” Karlie Suber’s cross-court kills from the second and back rows were an attestation to the latter. The Raiders’ youth and resilience were evidenced in their starting lineup, including three sophomores: Suber [player of the year]; Hailey Brooks, and Kayleigh Moody. Carpenter said, “Our youth …it’s definitely nice to have that type of talent.” Moody had seven kills with no errors on eight attempts. Moody was so intimidating at the net, the Hawks had the sense to play away from her to keep her block stats down. Hailey see LADY RAIDERS , pg. 43 `

Atlee on cruise control in district championship Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The No. 1 seed Atlee High School boys volleyball team completed a repeat as Capital District champions last Wednesday, downing upstart Lee-Davis High School 3-0. But, despite the win, the Raiders did not play up to par in the contest. On the other hand, the No. 3 seed Confederates were delighted just to be in the championship after picking up a hard-fought five-game win over No. 2 seed Hanover High School on Monday night to earn a slot in this week’s regionals. Before the season began, C-fed head coach Sally

Smith said her team was capable of competing for a district title; but once play got under way and the losses mounted, she had her doubts. “At the middle of the season it was like, ‘Whoa, this is scary’,” she said. However, over the closing weeks of the season, Lee-Davis has played its best. “It’s exciting to say that we finished second in the district tournament and the guys are proud,” Smith said. “This is the first time going to regionals in a long while.” As for Atlee, the Raiders came into the season highly favored and played like the best team in the district throughout, which perhaps was a distraction in the

championship match. Atlee jumped out to an early 15-5 lead over LeeDavis in Game 1 of the district championship then stretched that margin to 21-9, which was possibly the worst thing head coach Nick Robinson could see. “We came out excited because it’s the district finals,” he said. “We played the first 15 to 20 points of Game 1 pretty aggressive and I think the score kind of reflected that to that point. Then we kind of got lazy and just started waiting for somebody else on our team to make a play and watching the game instead of playing it.” It appeared Atlee would see RAIDERS , pg. 41 `

RAIDERS Continued from pg. 40 b

quickly close out the first game when the Raiders’ score moved to 23-11 but suddenly Lee-Davis came to life with a helping hand from the Raiders’ lackadaisical effort. An Atlee service error was followed by a lift and a kill going out of bounds to get the Confederates back in the game. Lee-Davis then reeled off four straight and eight of the next nine points to pull within six before the Raiders closed out the win 25-18. Robinson said his team could have been overlooking the Confederates. “Not taking anything away from Lee-Davis at all, but we beat them twice this year and at some level the guys had that in the back of their mind, which is not what you want coming into district finals.” And with the door opened at the end of Game 1, Lee-Davis played more inspired over the remainder of the contest with the Cfeds’ eyes on an upset.

Atlee pulled out to a 62 lead in game two before Lee-Davis came back to knot the game at six, then eight, then 14. For every Raider run, the C-feds found a way to answer. An ace from senior Colton Powell forced the game’s fourth tie at 18 and brought a second timeout from the Atlee bench. “I called timeouts at points during the game when we really weren’t behind,” Robinson said. “It was just frustrating because we were making bad decisions and bad plays . . . I think we worried too much about looking cool and hitting the ball hard than getting points.” The Raiders recognized what they were doing wrong, but it was a route hard to detour away from. “They knew they were playing a little lazy and it’s hard to correct once you start going down that road,” Robinson said. “It’s hard to switch and fix that just like a light switch in a game.” But Atlee managed. Coming out of the time-

out the Raiders reclaimed the lead when C-fed senior Hank Parsley was called for going over the net. The Raiders’ Robert Chilcoat then came to serve and blistered Lee-Davis for three consecutive aces and a 22-18 lead, allowing Atlee to pull out the win 25-20. In Game 3, Atlee led 139 when Lee-Davis went on a run. A Raider block outof-bounds was followed by a two-handed slap shot from C-fed Michael Abbott, and two blocks from Powell (one solo and one with an assist from senior Darius Anderson) to tie the game at 13. But Atlee got strong play down the stretch from senior Kody Tingler and Andrew Stanford to close out the match and championship 25-19. Tingler, Chilcoat and Stanford combined for 31 kills in the match for the Raiders. Tingler had 10 kills, two blocks and three digs; Chilcoat had 12 kills, a block, two digs and five aces; and Stanford had four digs, an ace and a block to go along with his nine

kills. Junior setter Billy Dishman had a kill, a block, 3 digs, 3 aces and 37 assists for the Raiders. Robinson said a few days of solid practice should get Atlee back in the correct frame of mind heading into

regionals. For the Lee-Davis Confederates, the goal is to continue their inspired play. “I think we’re looking good going into the regional tournament,” Smith said. “We still have a few things to work on, but I think it

we can put it all together in the next few days we’ll be okay.” Lee-Davis.................................18 20 19 Atlee .........................................25 25 25 Highlights: Billy Dishman (A) kill, block, 3 digs, 3 aces, 37 assists Records: Lee-Davis 15-11; Atlee 21-2

Washington and Lee too much for Hampden-Sydney Tigers LEXINGTON, VA - For the first time since November of 2008, No. 17 Hampden-Sydney (8-1, 4-1) fell in a regular season game as the Tigers lost 38-27 to ODAC-foe Washington and Lee (7-2. 6-0). The Generals have now punched their ticket to the NCAA Playoffs by going through the conference schedule undefeated and winning the ODAC Championship. Though the Tigers took a 147 first quarter lead, the Generals scored 17 unanswered points in the second quarter to take a 24-14 lead that they would not relinquish. Hampden-Sydney looked

solid early, scoring on the first drive of the game. After seven plays for 60 yards, junior quarterback Travis Lane took the ball across the end zone on a four yard scamper. The ODAC’s leading offense took just four minutes to respond with a Harrison Hudson twoyard touchdown run. The Tigers came right back, however, to reclaim the lead. Just three minutes after Washington and Lee’s equalizer, Lane threw for his first of three touchdown passes of the day, completing a three yard pass to John Michael Sparagna (Atlee). Hampden-Sydney’s defense

made the first stop of the game, early in the second quarter, but a Lane interception immediately began the next General drive. The Generals soon capitalized, tying the game again with a Brett Murray one-yard touchdown. Another Tiger turnover set up the General’s next score - a Hudson one yard one - where the Generals took their first lead of the game at 21-14. Washington and Lee was able to hit the scoreboard one more time before intermission with a 36-yard field goal to take the 24-14 halftime lead. The third quarter was a defensive battle, with six score-

less possessions. Washington and Lee extended the seventh possession into the fourth quarter, and Murray capped off the drive with his second score of the game from two yards out. Hampden-Sydney responded, however, just three minutes later with a scoring drive of its own. The Tigers took 13 plays to drive 65 yards ending with a four yard touchdown reception from Kyle Vance. With the score, the Tiger deficit was cut to 31-21. The Tiger defense forced a General punt, but the Washington and Lee defense held strong, forcing a turnover on downs. The Generals took

that momentum to score three plays later on a Hudson touchdown reception from 18 yards out. Hampden-Sydney came back one more time, as Andrew Bruckner caught an 18 yard touchdown reception, but with just seven seconds left on the clock it was not enough as the Tigers fell 38-27. On the day, Lane was 29-for52 with three touchdowns, 295 yards and four interceptions. Bruckner hauled in a game-high 126 yards and a touchdown on nine receptions. Vance caught 11 passes for 78 yards and a touchdown. Lane also led the team

in rushing with 55 yards and a score. The Generals tallied 315 yards rushing while Hudson led the way with 100 yards and two scores. Murray was not far behind with 95 yards and two touchdowns. Quarterback Charlie Westfal was 5-for-8 with 59 yards and a score. Defensively, senior Trevor Ikwild tallied a game-high 14 tackles. Steven Fogleman (Hanover) had 11 stops while Thomas McDonald tallied eight. Hampden-Sydney will return to action Saturday November 13, as it hosts arch-rival RandolphMacon College (7-2, 3-2). Kickoff is set for 1:00 pm.

Randolph-Macon comes up short in quest for ODAC Title Redzone issues prove costly for Yellow Jackets Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local This year’s RandolphMacon College football squad will long remember a lesson it learned Saturday: To have a shot at a conference title, a team has to be able to score from inside the 10-yard line. For most of the game, the Yellow Jackets failed to do so, and that failure against visiting Bridgewater College doomed Randolph-Macon to a 31-26 loss and left it unable to challenge Washington & Lee University for the ODAC title. Four times in the first 42 minutes of the game, the Yellow Jackets (3-2 ODAC, 7-2) got inside Bridgewater’s 10-yard line. All four times, they failed to get across the goal line, settling for field goals twice and turning the ball over on downs twice. Randolph-Macon led Bridgewater (3-2, 7-2) in virtually every statistic: first downs (26 to 7), total offense (95 plays for 456 yards to 48 plays for 308 yards), passing yards (280 yards to 87), possession time (34:43 to 25:17), and third down conversions (7-of-18 to 1-of-11). The Yellow Jackets led in another statistic, undesirable yet pivotal. Their offense gave up three scores to Bridgewater’s defense -- two touchdowns and a safety. “There’s no question, that second half . . . that belonged to our defense,” Bridgewater

coach Mike Clark said. “For them to play as much as they did, in the conditions that they played in, favored a big, physical RandolphMacon team.” Even though the Eagles’ offense did not spend as much time on RandolphMacon’s muddy field as the defense, it took advantage of the playing time it had. In the second quarter, when Bridgewater scored 20 points, the offense ran six plays and scored two touchdowns -- on 70-yard and 78-yard passes from Hagan Driskell to Tyler Beiler. Driskell led the Eagles’ offense with eight completions in 15 attempts for 221 yards. Beiler finished with 7 receptions for 218 yards. “We saw things in their coverage we knew we could attack. When they play their cover forward, we can get one-on-one matchups,” Driskell said. “The O-line did a great job of protecting and Tyler ran great routes, made it easy for me.” Randolph-Macon’s quarterbacks did not fare as well as Driskell. Starter Luke Sellers completed 8 of 24 passes for 135 yards and two interceptions. Both were returned for touchdowns: a 32-yard return by Stephen Howard in the second quarter and a 15-yard return by Brandon Mitchell in the third. Randolph-Macon trailed 29-6 at the time that Sellers was replaced by Petrohovich with 2:35 in the third quarter. On the second play of the series, Drake Sanders scored from Bridgewater’s 42-yard line. The Yellow Jackets took two minutes and six plays to score on their next possession, capped by a 17-yard

run by Thaddeus Scruggs with 12:43 left. They scored again on an 18-yard pass from Petrohovich to Dan Crouch with 3:56 left, closing to within 3 points, 2926. Given its renewed energy and ability to score, Randolph-Macon looked every bit capable of winning in the final minutes, but with first down at its 10-yard line and 2:12 left in the game, Petrohovich threw an interception to Scottie Littles. That effectively ended Randolph-Macon’s comeback hopes, though a safety -- Petrohovich was sacked in the end zone with 14 seconds left -- made sure any hopes of a miracle ending were dead. Littles credited Darius

Burrus’ coverage of Randolph-Macon receiver Earl Peoples’ with giving him the opportunity to be the hero. “Darius -- our corner, No. 6 -- did a good job on 81, Peoples, cause he’s their go-to guy,” Littles said. “He jammed [Peoples] up, took him out of the read, and the quarterback just had to do something. He threw it right to me.” Randolph-Macon coach Pedro Arruza was reluctant to place blame, but acknowledged that none of his quarterbacks played as well as they should have. “Without a doubt, our turnovers were killer,” Arruza said. “We did not play well enough at [the quarterback] position to win

this game. . . . I’ve got to give BV – Safety (Petrohovich sacked in credit to Bridgewater. They end zone)¶ played a great game. They came prepared. They did a RUSHING nice job.”

LADY RAIDERS Continued from pg. 40 b

Brooks with six kills, no errors, 22 assists, 2 blocks and eleven aces, earned a total of 10 points in game one, and 8 points in game three. Senior Courtney Booth, with 6 kills and 5 aces for the evening, had a run of serves from points 13 to 25 in Game two. Carpenter, proud of the intelligence the Raiders exhibit said, “As you saw, every one of them is all-academic; and their smart enough to realize that, ‘Ok, that’s not working; so I can go and hit the other angle.’” Having pulled themselves out of a slump midway through the season, the Lady Hawks were able to realize their goal. “Our goal on the first day of practice this year was the same as our goal when I took over last year was District Finals,” said Lippa. “And I actually reminded them of that yesterday. I said, ‘Do you realize…what was our one goal?’ and somebody said, ‘District Finals.’ So, we had a couple of games we didn’t play as well. And I had to remind them,

‘It’s not where you are when you start; it’s where you are when you finish.’ So, I think they did a really good job. Definitely a different team from where we were about six weeks ago.” What enabled the Lady Hawks to get to the finals…was it an attitude change?...or the slow realization that they could still be in it? “I think it was a little bit of both,” said Lippa, who made it clear he made no changes himself. “I told them one day, ‘I did not change anything.’ he said.” They changed their mentality; and that’s what really helped; because I didn’t make a single change in the lineup. The only changes I physically made after our first loss to LeeDavis was I put Logan [Majewski], my SP back in the middle.” Majewski was 2 blocks, 4 kills, and 4 digs for the night. Shawna Kirby, came up with eight digs. But perhaps one stat that surprised even Lippa, was a block from one of his players. Said Lippa, “Haley Winston had a block; and it was funny…her dad gets really excited when one of our other players gets a block. And I told her that

and she said, “My dad is not used to me getting the block. He was probably shocked!” Happy that the Hanover nemesis days no longer haunt him when his nationally ranked daughter, Kristin, was Hanover’s star player, Carpenter said, “It’s fun watching her now. At least it’s a lot better to watch her at Penn State or on TV versus across the net from us. That was kind of rough.” Looking at the post-season, Carpenter said, “We’re going to keep working hard in practice. That’s one of the things we instill. We’re going to take it one at a time. Right now we’re not really sure who we’re going to play…[the Dominion district was still working out the order]. It’s going to be either Midlo, or James River; but we’ll be prepared. It doesn’t really matter who we play because they will be coming to our floor, and we know we need to protect our floor. So our expectations are to keep working hard; and if we get beat, that’s because somebody outworked us.” Game scores for the match were:
