STOPS AT EVERY HOME IN TOWN

County among best youth communities By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local For a group of preschoolers at Kiddie Kingdom Day Care Center, Hanover County’s naming as one of America’s Promise Alliance top 100 Best Communities for Young People was little more than an opportunity for an extra loud lunch. But, for county officials and invited guests, it was a chance to formally announce the county’s latest feather in its cap at a

simulcast watch party held at the Ashland Daycare Center. A loud, collective hurrah erupted as Hanover was tapped for the fifth consecutive year in a live simulcast from the Newseum in Washington, D.C., streamed to the facility’s dining room. The 100 Best competition is sponsored by ING, a financial and investment company, and is closely tied to Grad Nation, a group working to increase

America’s graduation rate to 90 percent by 2020. Youth Services specialist Laura Robertson headed the county’s effort that included an extensive application process that included interviews with most of the county’s youth services, both public and private. Robertson said the results enforce a belief that Hanover has its eye on the ball when it comes to its youth. see BEST, pg. 22

The Local Pick:

Atlee High junior learns how to train guide dogs When most teens look for summer work they check out local restaurants and businesses for opportunities. Peyton Krevonick, a junior at Atlee High School and member of the Global Youth Service Day Youth Leadership Corps, decided she wanted to go a different route and become a volunteer puppy raiser. While on a college tour, Peyton met a puppy being raised for the Guiding Eyes for the Blind, an internationally recognized guide dog school headquartered in Yorktown Heights, N.Y. The nonprofit serves people who are blind and visually impaired by matching them with trained service dogs. By having a service dog, a person that is blind or visually impaired has greater freedom to travel and be independent. Krevonick researched the program and, inspired by its mission, contacted the Richmond Chapter. After going through extensive training she is now in charge of raising Cutlas, an energetic white Labrador retriever. Krevonick’s job as a puppy raiser is to teach him good house manners and provide opportunities for socialization in a loving and supportive environment. “Cutlas is smart, outgoing and loves to learn and work. Soon he will earn his service vest,” Krevonick said. “This vest legally allows him entrance into restaurants, grocery stores, malls and all other public places. This is done to allow him the opportunity to learn how to behave in a public setting. I can’t wait to take him into as many public places as he can while wearing his vest. It will be a great opportunity to expose him to many different environments.” “It’s my goal to challenge Cutlas each and every day by exposing him to new and different situations. Soon he will go to places where there are new under-footings, such as large rocks or grates, so he will be comfortable walking in any setting. Cutlas will meet with the police so he will be confident if he is ever in this situation.” Krevonick also is interested in educating the public about guide dogs. She will be a special guest speaker at the next Global Youth Service Day Leadership Corps workshop on Dec. 1. The workshop will teach participants how to plan, lead and promote their own service project.

Laura Robertson, youth services specialist with the Hanover County Department of Community Resources, leads the workshops and mentored Krevonick last year when she was a new participant. “Peyton’s an incredibly dedicated young lady and very focused on helping individuals with special needs,” Robertson said. “Last year she led her Global Youth Service Day project called I AM NORM, which discusses inclusion with elementary school students. Not only does Peyton volunteer with organizations like Challenger Baseball and Young Life Capernaum that serve young people with special needs, she recruits and encourages others to volunteer as well. It’s exciting to see such a young person take on a challenge like this and work towards inspiring others to do the same.” Information submitted by Tom Harris, Hanover County public information officer.

Walk to battle disorder Crisis Intervention

The Arnette family of Mechanicsville, along with local individuals and families from across the region, will come together on Saturday, Oct. 6, at Pole Green Park at 8996 Pole Green Park Lane in Mechanicsville to raise awareness and funds for treatment of Neurofibromatosis (NF). All proceeds will support the Children’s Tumor Foundation’s medical research, patient support and public education programs. Stephanie Arnette organized this NF Walk because her son Cameron was diagnosed with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) four years ago at age 2.

His first MRI showed a large tumor in his neck (Plexiform Neurofibroma) and another in his brain, behind the optic nerves (chiasmatic glioma). The tumor in his neck is putting pressure on his breathing tube/airway, causing him to snore and have obstructive sleep apnea. The tumor is his neck is life-threatening. Cameron started chemo at 4, which did not help stabilize his tumor. He started a second kind of chemo at age 6, which also has not proven to be effective, and was recently taken off the drug. At age 5, the doctors found a third tumor in his spine, by MRI.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

LETTERS

Oscar Watson was a man with a vision

| Reader Views

Hanover County lost a beloved member of the community on Sept. 7. Oscar Watson’s death has left a void in his family, the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department and the HanoverTomato Festival. In 1978, Oscar and other BCVFD members started what has become “the” summer event in Mechanicsville: the Tomato Festival. From its humble beginnings at the old station to the sprawling — and filled to capacity — Pole Green Park, the festival never lost sight of where it all began, and neither did Oscar, the Tomato Festival Committee and Hanover Parks & Rec. Oscar was always gracious and welcoming — whether I was covering an event at the fire station or on the grounds of the festival. I last saw him at this year’s Tomato Festival. I made a point to say hello and check on him. He didn’t attend the Tomato Festival Pageant, which his daughter Lynn directs. I had enjoyed his company the year before when he sat nearby and we got to talk about the festival and his dedication to its success. For Oscar, the Tomato Festival was a year-round responsibility. And, no matter who else was involved and how much they helped, he was the go-to guy. He was always looking ahead — even before that particular year’s festival had taken place. He served his fellow Black Creek VFD members well and excelled in his efforts with the Tomato Festival. But, most of all, he leaves a legacy of commitment to his community. The Hanover Tomato Festival got its start and lives on because of Oscar Watson. His devotion to recognizing our favorite fruit and bringing joy to thousands through the event have made him a household name in Hanover County. Our sincere condolences are extended to his wife Sandy and daughter Lynn, as well as his BCVFD and Tomato Festival families. It will be strange not seeing him next July. Without question, he will be missed. Melody Kinser

Respect for teachings of God President Obama’s deteriorating at a rapid rate broken promises Our country has known freedom for the individual unlike any other country in history. Quite frankly, the idea was novel that people could govern themselves. In order for freedom to be sustained, the masses had to be willing to act morally and lawfully by their own volition or else society would crumble from within. Thus wrote our second president John Adams: “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.” The Ten Commandments and the Sermon on the Mount were how we judged good and evil, right and wrong. Some of that still remains, but respect for those teachings and reverence for the God who spoke them is deteriorating at a very rapid rate. In modern day America, there is very little shame anymore. Most Americans have lost their fear of God. We are on the road to self-destruction. Secularists mock the idea of God. Judges forbid even the acknowledgement of God in many public places. We teach our children they come from monkeys. Those who hold to the Biblical definition of marriage are called hate-mongers. The entertainment industry promotes sex without moral standards day after day, movie after movie, song after song — influencing our youth beyond measure. Try to raise any objection to this tide of immorality and you are quickly shouted down, ridiculed, called a prude, a hater, a religious nut, a censor or a fundamentalist. What we are experiencing today in America is unbridled selfishness and licentiousness and the results are manifesting themselves in many terrible ways that will only get worse if things don’t change. Kenneth Hawk Mechanicsville

Some thoughts about this election year Here are some thoughts about this election year: This year I will vote like a Democrat. I will vote and vote often. I wonder how Vice President Joe Biden walks with one foot in his mouth. I will say anything. but please don’t bog me down with facts. Now go and vote your heart’s content — and often. Tom Chorinos Mechanicsville

Among the many promises President Obama makes are the following statements: “Send rebate checks of $1,000 to American families; staff the government based on talent, not political loyalties, and eliminate North Korea’s nuclear weapons programs.” Some of the pledges combine hubris with bad policy such as: Create 5 million new green jobs and create automatic workplace pension. But, this one is just plain silly: “ ’Create a ‘Craigslist’ for service.” No matter who you are, there’s a broken promise in this book for you. As for seniors, Obama promised to “Preserve Social Security” and “Put Medicare on Solid Footing.” In regard to “greens,” Obama said he would “Rally the World to Stop Global Warming.” And, for Chicago residents, Obama pledged to “End the Dangerous Cycle of Youth Violence.” The aforementioned indicates the scale of Obama’s personality that can be measured by the wide scope of his disappointments today. There is one promise, however, that stands out among the others, and best defines the failure of the Obama presidency: That is the promise to “jump-start our economy with a $50 billion stimulus plan that would put money directly into the pockets of families struggling with rising food and mortgage payments.” The actual stimulus, as passed in early 2009, was nearly 18 times as big and did little to help struggling families or the economy itself. The above broken promise stands out more than all the others. It stands out more than the promise to cut health care costs by $2,500 per family, more than the promise to keep a residual force in Iraq to ensure stability, and more than the laughable assurance that Obama would fight corruption. It represents a colossal abuse of the public trust and Obama’s fiduciary duty to the nation. It also makes a mocksee LETTERS, pg. 8

USDA works to preserve environment By Ken Upshaw County executive director

Commissioned Submitted photo

On Aug. 31, Jake McCauley of Mechanicsville was commissioned a second lieutenant in the United States Air Force during a ceremony that took place at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Ala. He was sworn in by his father, Col. Mark McCauley, and is proudly the third generation of McCauley aviators for the Air Force. He is awaiting Combat Systems Officer Training at Pensacola Naval Air Station in Florida. Lt. McCauley is a 2007 graduate ofHanover High School and a 2012 graduate in Architecture from Virginia Tech.

Depletion of our natural resources is one of the most significant problems facing America today. USDA is dedicated to preserving the environment. Therefore, USDA offers a variety of programs to aid agricultural producers and landowners in conservation resources on their farms. A new initiative, the Highly Erodible Land Initiative (HELI), is available for a limited time. This initiative encourages landowners and operators to offer sensitive cropland for enrollment in certain conservation practices that will reduce soil erosion, restore wildlife habitat, improve water quality and provide other environmental benefits. Sign-up for the Conservation Reserve Program is underway until Sept. 30, 2012, at the Hanover /Caroline County FSA office. CRP provides cost-share and annual rental payments to participants who install conservation practices on their farms to protect environmentally sensitive land.

The Annual Dinner & Membership Meeting of the Hanover Association of Businesses and Chamber of Commerce will be held from 6 to 9 p.m. today (Wednesday, Sept. 19) at the Islamorada Restaurant at Bass Pro Shops at 11550 North Lakeridge Parkway in Ashland.

Israel has the right to defend itself. Its people should not have to live in constant fear of terror attacks and rockets. The attacks from Gaza have aimed at major population centers. Half a million Israelis have been forced to take refuge in shelters. The United States and the international community should condemn these attacks unreservedly. The United States should make it clearer than ever that it holds Iran responsible for arming and financing these terrorists in Gaza â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that Iranâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive to develop nuclear weapons will be stopped by whatever means are necessary. This has been going on for years and all the world could do is blame Israel. No one has thought about Israel and the people who have had to â&#x20AC;&#x153;just waitâ&#x20AC;? for the next rocket and pray no one would be hit. Sue Blake Richmond

Construction supervisor George Robinson said work began on the house about seven weeks ago and the project is expected to be completed by Thanksgiving. “It’s a nice home,” Robinson said of the single-story vinylsided 1,500-square-foot house that will have three bedrooms and two baths.

The first annual MDA Swimathon and Carnival was held on Saturday, Aug. 18, at Honey Meadows Pool. Participants enjoyed refreshments and games as they helped raise funds for the Muscular Dystrophy Association. The highlight was the swimmers that swim laps for the cause. Sean LeGras, shown above, led all swimmers and swam more than two miles. He is a sophomore at Atlee High School and swims for the Kings Charter Pool. Woody Hogg, a co-sponsor, said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sean was an inspiration to all of us that sponsored the event. He demonstrated a commitment to do his best and raise funds for MDA. He set a great example for everyone.â&#x20AC;? Led by Sean, Kings Charter came in first in the team fundraising category and Ash Creek finished second. The event was sponsored by Honey Meadows Subdivision, Colonial Homecrafters Homes, Ryan Homes, Royal Dominion Homes, Metropolitan Realty and ERA Woody Hogg and Associates.

Eight high school-age youth from Broadus Memorial Baptist Church recently traveled to the La Chorrera district of Panama on a mission trip. While in Panama, the Broadus youth and their adult chaperones worked for a week at La Ciudad del Ninos, scraping paint, power-washing and painting one of the large maintenance/vocational training buildings. La Ciudad del Ninos is a nonprofit organization that provides development opportunities to underprivileged children and adolescents at social risk who would otherwise live in extreme poverty conditions. The children are either orphans or from families that cannot guarantee their education. The children are provided education, housing and vocational training and an opportunity to grow in a safe environment and acquire the necessary skills to succeed in life. The mission team also had the opportunity to play soccer, eat and interact with the children that live at La Ciudad. Spending time with the children was definitely the highlight of the week for the Broadus youth. This photo was taken at the entrance to the Panama Canal, which the group visited before leaving Panama. Shown are, from left, John Lobdell, Amy Sivils ,Brandon Lobdell, Allison Capps (holding a copy of The Mechanicsville Local), Michael Capps, Sam Hanny, Cody Zedaker and Darren Kalten. Broadus is located on Pole Green Road in Mechanicsville and the youth live or attend various high schools in Hanover County.

Tavern hosts car fans

Photo submitted by David Deal

Thirty-five cars, all pre-1915, recently were on display at the Hanover Tavern. The Richmond chapter of the Antique Automobile Club of America event attracted car enthusiasts from all over the country. More than 100 people toured the Tavern and Courthouse and had a buffet lunch at Hanover Tavern Restaurant & Pub.

a large event requires funding, and Flohr asked the Hanover County Board of Supervisors to consider contributing $300,000 to the project. While supervisors agreed that it takes money to make money, many said that kind of appropriation would require more scrutiny, details and actual economic forecasts with real numbers. Mechanicsville District supervisor Canova Peterson said, “I’ve seen very few details as to cost and details. We want to carry our weight as one of the big four and do what is reasonable to support this event. We don’t provide funding for even our departments in the county without a little more substantial information that we’ve got here.”

Supervisors unanimously approved a motion tasking the county administrator with continued efforts to gain more detailed information on the economic benefits to the county. “The point is to not commit us to a dollar value,” South Anna supervisor Wayne Hazzard said. “We want to study the impact and costs so that we are sure we’re going to get our bang for the buck. It’s the citizens’ money and we want to make sure we get a return.” Economic development director Edwin Gaskin said a joint project with Dominion Resources has enjoyed subtle but real successes in the past three years. The Green Tech Incubator was envisioned for a forming ground for high tech tenants involved in green technology. Currently, there are tenants involved in cutting edge research with fuel conversion,

Gaskin proposed a “shot in the arm” for the project in the form of a name change and rebranding effort that will expand the center’s targeted clientele. The result is the Dominion Resources Innovation Center complete with a new business plan competition. As part of the marketing and rebranding, a new website is scheduled to launch later this month. Tech Challenge Hanover will challenge all comers to present business plans in hopes of winning a $10,000 first place prize with an additional six months of free rent at the center. What types of business is the county hoping to attract to the center? “Surprise us,” Gaskin said. Dominion contributes $50,000 annually to the program, originally viewed as a five-year project. It has not been a revenue neutral exercise for

the county, but Gaskin urged patience when it comes to judging results. After the new program is initiated and up and running, Gaskin said results can be evaluated after about 12 months. County administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. said 24 months might be a more realistic target to evaluate the program fairly. Dominion is committed to the project for the next two years. Parks and Recreation director Greg Sager showed off the courthouse area renovations that included new sidewalks fencing and new period lampposts. Supervisors and guests walked the grounds and surveyed the latest improvements to the historic courthouse green.

Which candidate is full of beans? Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Northside Baptist Church at 7600 Studley Road in Mechanicsville is asking area voters, “Which presidential candidate is most full of beans?” The church, which gave out more than 150 tons of food to the needy in 2011, is encouraging people to vote with a can of beans between now and Nov. 4, the Sunday before the General Election. According to the Northside Bean Poll organizers, voters are

encouraged to vote early and often by donating cans of beans for the candidate they believe is most full of beans. The more votes cast the more families will benefit. Voters who believe all politicians are full of beans are welcome to cast equal number of votes for each candidate. Donations left after hours should be marked with the candidate of choice. The church web page is www.NorthsideVa.org. Dr. Jeff Scott is the senior pastor at Northside Baptist Church.

“I think it says that we prioritize our young people. We have an abundance of programming here,” Robertson said. She said the application process provided a comprehensive overview of county youth services and will serve as a tool for future planning. “By doing the application, we get a very broad look at programming in the county so we can see where the gaps are and where we need to focus some more resources,” Robertson said. America’s Promise is looking for communities with a wide variety of youth services, and areas that are addressing pressing problems like dropout rates and early intervention issues. Kiddie Kingdom is a prime example of Hanover’s approach to youth services. The center partners with Hanover County Public Schools to provide services for six preschoolers with disabilities or delays as part of a preschool inclusion program. “Hanover County is really dedicated to serving the needs of the youth in our community,” said Kiddie Kingdom director Kathi Thomasson. “We have lots of collaborations within the county that works together so that we meet as many needs as

we can.” Many of these agencies and collaborations are joined in Hanover’s Promise, a program designed to enhance a community approach in supporting young people in the county. The program is a cog in a comprehensive youth services wheel that includes the county’s schools, government and private sector support services. “Being named one of America’s Promise Alliance’s 100 Best is significant and meaningful to all of us,” said Ed Via, chairman of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors. “So many dedicated people and programs contributed to this win and it further shows how a focus on youth pays dividends

to our entire community.” Henry District supervisor Sean Davis and assistant county administrator Jim Taylor were among the invited guests for the watch party. Davis said a county that promotes its youth is a caring community, and Hanover fits that definition. “Those who make it a great place for young people are the collaborative efforts of our seniors, our schools, Board of Supervisors, everybody working together for a great youth community. I think that’s what we take away today with this award,” he said. Taylor said, “It’s a great day for Hanover County and its youth.”

This year’s Beginning Teacher of the Year is Mallary DeChirico, a third grade teacher at Batllefield Park Elementary in Mechanicsville. She is accompanied by Dr. Jamelle Wilson, right, and School Board chair Ann F.H. Gladstone.

Wilson said. The superintendent said the system is evolving and review is ongoing. “I don’t think this is done. I think Virginia is continuing to cut its teeth on this. So, as the state gets its arms around what it is doing, we’re also trying to get our arms around what we’re doing,” she said. Further complicating the matter is the provision that allows the waiver to expire in two years. Wilson said it’s unclear what happens at that point. This year’s Hanover County Teacher of the Year was recognized at this month’s meeting. Twenty-five Hanover teachers applied for this year’s award and Brennan Elizabeth Sigel was

selected as this year’s winner. Sigel is a Modern Global Studies and International Baccalaureate (IB) Psychology teacher at Atlee High School and has nine years of service. The award qualifies Sigel for the Region I Teacher of the Year competition and a shot at Virginia Teacher of the Year 2013. Battlefield Park third grade teacher Mallary DeChirico was chosen as Beginning Teacher of the Year 2012 winner. She’s a recent University of Richmond Master’s of Teaching graduate. Jenny Kusnerik, a kindergarten instructional assistant at Pole Green Elementary, is this year’s Support Employee of the Year 2012. She has worked for Hanover schools for 13 years.

uation system that appears to be in the evolving stages. A student’s performance and progress will be measured by Annual Measurable Objectives (AMOs). Performance will be rated by Standards of Learning (SOL) scores, but results among lower performing groups are targeted for implemental improvement over a six-year period. Daryl Chesley, assistant superintendent for instructional leadership, said localities are still studying and evaluating the new system. Once Hanover scores are compared with other localities, the intricacies of the evaluation process will be more defined, according to Chesley. Although the new evaluation system may seem complicated, Wilson said Hanover County students will adhere to a scale of achievement expectations that exceed state guidelines. She also said the new system is well intentioned. “The details are convoluted and drive us nuts, but the sentiment is the right sentiment. We should be concerned that every child receives the highest quality education that we can provide. The cut scores, the AMOs, yes, we will pay attention to them, but our goal is to make sure every kid gets what he or she needs in our schools,”

Dale Sayers of Hanover was among more than 20 members of the Spotswood Family Descendants (SFD) who visited the Virginia Historical Society (VHS) as part of the Spotswood Heritage Weekend on Friday, Aug. 3. VHS Vice President for Collections Lee Shepard showed the group items related to Lt. Gov. Alexander Spotswood from the museum’s collection, including letters from Spotswood while serving in Virginia, 1710-1722; a signed copy of a speech Spotswood made to the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1715; miniature portraits of Gov. Spotswood and his wife, Anne; a 1781 letter of the governor’s grandson, Gen. Alexander Spotswood, regarding arms for two Virginia military units near the close of the Revolutionary War; pocket watches owned by members of the Spotswood family in the 19th century; and a 1796 letter of Patrick Henry (who had married a Spotswood descendant) declining a third election as governor of Virginia. After the presentation, Patricia S. Boykin of Atlanta, Ga., the eighth great-granddaughter of Lt. Gov. Alexander Spotswood, unveiled a recently conserved portrait of Gov. Spotswood from the VHS collection. Boykin saw the painting,

which was donated to the VHS in 2006 and was copied from a contemporary image produced by colonial artist Charles Bridges, on a visit to the museum last year. The donor was unable to afford full conservation of the image. Boykin donated funds to complete the restoration process. A newly retired teacher, Sayers is a descendant of Alexander Spotswood. She helped arrange and attended the presentation and portrait unveiling at the VHS. The Spotswood Family Descendants establishes lineal descent through one of many lines reaching back to the Rev. John Spottiswoode Sr., (15101585), superintendent of the Scottish Church.

That lineage also includes Virginia Lt. Gov. Alexander Spotswood (1676-1740). Each year the Spotswood Family Descendants plans a Spotswood Heritage Weekend. Members of the group gather in a location for a long weekend full of activities, talks, presentations and social gatherings related to the Spotswood lineage. This year, 24 members from all over the United States converged in Richmond. In addition to visiting the VHS, the group toured historic sites such as Hanover Tavern, Agecroft Hall, Elsing Green, and St. John’s Episcopal Church. Information submitted by Jennifer M. Guild, senior officer for public relations and marketing, Virginia Historical Society.

Coat Ceremony is symbolic because it stresses to our new students the importance that they must not only obtain the pharmaceutical knowledge, skills and attitudes in their classes in order to treat their

patients, but they must also be compassionate, responsible and earn the trust of their patients in order to counsel them about their health issues.” For more information, visit pharmacy.hsc.wvu.edu.

A description of the bleak future of American medicine under the new law 2. An explanation of the $716 billion in Medicare cuts to seniors 3. How to retain physicians in the medical profession and reduce their avoidance of accepting Medicare patients.

As one of the nation’s leading advocates, Dr. Gray has addressed a million people at a grassroots rally at the U.S. Capitol building, appeared on the 700 Club (CBN) and Fox News, and written for such nationallyranked publications as Investor’s Business Daily and The Hill.

Environmental practices lead to VFBF honor Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com C.J. and Jessica Isbell of Hanover County are the winners of this year’s Virginia Farm Bureau Federation Young Farmers Environmental Stewardship Award. They were honored on July 28 at the VFBF Young Farmers Summer in Lynchburg. The award recognizes the efforts of young producers who work to protect natural resources. The Isbells and C.J.’s father work on his grandfather’s farm. Together, they reclaimed the family farm by establishing a new grassfed cattle, pork and chicken operation on land that previously was rented to local grain farmers. With help from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Natural Resources Conservation Service, the farm has become a showplace for environmental stewardship practices. The Isbells will receive $500 and commemorative plaques from Bayer CropScience, as well as outdoor signs recognizing them for good environmental stewardship to display at their farm entrance. They also will receive travel packages to the 2012 VFBF Annual Convention in Chantilly. ----With more than 150,000 members in 88 county Farm Bureaus, VFBF is Virginia’s largest farmers’ advocacy group. Farm Bureau is a non-governmental, nonpartisan, voluntary organization committed to protecting Virginia’s farms and ensuring a safe, fresh and locally grown food supply.

Governor: ‘Pledge to Prepare’ for emergencies Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com September is National Preparedness Month, an annual nationwide effort to encourage Americans to plan and prepare for emergencies. “Unfortunately, within the past 14 months, just about every Virginian has experienced tornados, the historic Mineral earthquake, Hurricane Irene, Tropical Storm Lee or the recent severe derecho wind storm,” said Michael Cline, state coordinator of emergency management. “These are all powerful reminders that each of us is responMONDAY EVENING 4 PM 4:30

sible to be ready for both predicted and unexpected emergencies. If you are not ready, you can pledge to prepare during September.” Families and individuals should plan as though they must go for at least three days without electricity, water service, access to a supermarket or other local services. To prepare, follow these four steps: 1. Stay informed. Get free information on what to do before, during and after emergencies at www. ReadyVirginia.gov and www. ListoVirginia.gov. Stay aware of chang-

ing weather conditions by monitoring local media reports. Get a batterypowered and/or hand-crank radio with a weather band so you can hear emergency information when the power is out. 2. Make a plan. Discuss, agree on and document an emergency plan with those in your care. For sample plans, see www.ReadyVirginia.gov and www.Ready.gov. 3. Build a Kit. Keep enough emergency supplies on hand for you and those in your care. Start with nonperishable food and water, and then add first aid, prescriptions, flashlights

Get Involved: Before a disaster happens, the whole community can get involved in programs and activities to make families, homes and businesses safer from risks and threats.

The Ready Kids website focuses on weather-related emergencies and helps educate children ages 8-12 about how they can help their families prepare. In-school materials for teachers also are available at www.ready.gov/kids or by calling 1-800-BE-READY, 1-888SE-LISTO and TTY 1-800-462-7587.

Atlee’s ‘Action Jackson’ runs past Patriots 56-35 Much improved Patrick Henry gives Raiders a fight By Dave Lawrence for The Mechanicsville Local In the first half, the Atlee football team looked like it might let victory slip through its fingers. Atlee looked like it had the edge over host Patrick Henry but dropped passes, including one that led to an interception, left the Raiders in a 21-21 tie with the Patriots after 24 minutes of play- the same Patriot team that lost 41-0 to Hanover the week before. But the Raiders regrouped and scored three unanswered touchdowns in the third quarter to take control of the game as they claimed a 56-35 road victory. Raider running back Morris Jackson, who finished with 37 carries for 296 yards, scored seven of Atlee’s eight touchdowns, including all three in the pivotal third quarter. For Morris, it was frustrating to be tied with the Patriots at halftime. “It was kind of like, ‘Come on, we’ve got to get it together,’” he said of the Raiders’ mood at the break. “All that work that we’ve put into it, it’s just like we’re not applying it.” Jackson had adjustments of his own to make. Early in the game, he squandered opportu-

nities for guaranteed yardage as he stutter-stepped and looked for opportunities in a better opening. “My coaches, they get on me a lot about being aggressive and not trying to juke out everyone,” Jackson said. “I just started lowering my shoulder and hitting the holes and trying to force my way and move the chains.” The adjustments made by Jackson and his teammates had a dramatic effect on Atlee’s fortunes. In the first half, the Raiders (2-0) were stopped on four of their seven possessions. In the second half, they scored on five straight possessions before coach Roscoe Johnson sent in his substitutes. From the start of the third quarter to the midpoint of the fourth, the

Raiders earned 17 first downs to just three for Patrick Henry (0-2). Jackson wasn’t the only one picking up the pace in the second half. Atlee’s passing game improved as well. Starting quarterback Kenner Berry, who completed 17-of-31 passes for 225 yards, one touchdown and one interception on the night, connected on only 39 percent (7-of-18) in the first half. In the second half Berry nearly doubled that mark by connecting on 77 percent (10-of-13) of his throws. His favored targets were Chad Jacob, with four receptions for 71 yards and a touchdown, and Loumond Dandridge Jr., with four receptions for 52 yards. Berry was pretty philosoph-

ical about the early dropped passes. “Physical mistakes happen, just brush them off and go on to the next play,” Berry said. “We started being more aggressive, going after [the Patriots] and not worrying about the small things that go wrong in the game.” Atlee coach Roscoe Johnson said the mistakes are those of an inexperienced, but learning, squad. “When you have a young team like we do, things happen. People don’t realize we’re very young,” Johnson said. “Yeah, we’ve got seniors, but these seniors didn’t play varsity last year. This group has really only been together for two games.” Johnson did not tell his team

anything special at halftime. “I just told them that they’ve got to go out and play,” he said. “I’m proud of them. The second half was great. They continue to amaze me that they don’t give up – and they play hard.” The Patriots did not give up, either. Looking like a completely different team than a week earlier, they matched Atlee play for play in the first half and scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter to close the gap with the Raiders, but could not catch up. Sophomore quarterback Chesdin Harrington led Patrick Henry, completing five passes in 11 attempts for 177 yards. Three of those, of 75, 39 and 53 yards, were for touchdowns. Wide receiver Travis Phillips

caught two of those touchdown passes and finished with three receptions for 160 yards. Otis Harris led the Patriots’ rushing game with 23 carries for 90 yards. “I thought we played an excellent first half,” said Patrick Henry coach Sam Hart. “We got down early, took some shots at them and they took some shots back at us. Ultimately, they had more shots at us than we had shots on them.” Hart said it was difficult to take many shots at Berry and the Atlee offensive juggernaut, which finished with 636 total yards. “I thought their offense played very well,” Hart said. “It was hard for us to get any pressee RAIDERS, pg. 41 `

Atlee volleyball juggernaut continues to roll Improved Confederates challenge Raiders but top team too strong By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Last year the Lee-Davis girls’ volleyball team was good. This year they are even better. But when Atlee rolled into Mechanicsville on Thursday night the final outcome was no different; Raiders 3, Confederates 0. Atlee (9-0, 2-0 Capital) showed why they are considered one of the best teams in the state. The Raiders dominated from the service line and battled from around the court to hold off a solid challenge from the Confederates (6-3, 0-1) and take LEE-DAVIS 21, HOPEWELL 20 Chris Simpson’s 6-yard touchdown run with 1:18 left tied the game and set up LeeDavis (1-1) for its first win of the season as the Confederates defeated Hopewell 21-20 on Friday night. Simpson carried 33 times for 125 yards and two touchdowns. Lee-Davis quarterback Brandon Sulser was 9 for 17 for 132 yards, and Austin Rice caught six passes for 109 yards. Hopewell quarterback Octavious Taylor was 10 for 25 for 174 yards and two touchdowns and carried 18 times for 92 yards. He also threw two interceptions. Tabyus Taylor caught five passes for 108 yards and two touchdowns for Hopewell (11). Lee-Davis................... 0 7 0 14 — 21 Hopewell.................... 7 0 7 6 — 20 H—T. Taylor 30 pass from O.

Taylor 30 run (kick failed) LD — Simpson 6 run (Wright kick)

the match 25-18, 25-16, 25-8. “They’re a solid team,” Atlee senior Hailey Brooks said of LeeDavis. “They always have been but they definitely want to win so they won’t back down.” The Confederates were most effective during volley action but like every other Raider opponent, returning Atlee’s serves proved the real challenge. Lee-Davis took the initial point in set one on a kill by Rachel Gaston, but Atlee then reeled off four straight, capped by a trio of back-to-back-to-back aces from Brooks (10 kills, 11 aces, 10 assists, 4 digs). However, the Confederates showed they were not about to go down easy. Lee-Davis regained the serve on a Gaston block and ran off five straight points of their own capped by a trio of aces from Jordan Martin KING WILLIAM 32, CAROLINE 30 Freeman McPhearson had 28 carries for 143 yards and threw for 65 more, accounting for three touchdowns as King William defeated Caroline (12). McPhearson also converted three 2-point conversions for the Cavaliers (2-1). Camajae Teatross had 11 carries for 65 yards and a touchdown, and Jason Gresham had 38 receiving yards and a score. Gresham recorded a sack, interception and 10 tackles.

(5 assists, 4 digs, 3 aces). “I definitely expected them to be very strong,” Atlee senior Karlie Suber said of Lee-Davis. “They’re well coached and we always knew that they were going to be a competitor in the district. We kind of expected it, but they caught us by surprise the first few points.” A see-saw battle ensued and Lee-Davis took a 9-8 lead as the teams neared the midway point of set one before Atlee broke things open on a 14-4 run. A kill from Suber (8 kills, 6 aces, 2 blocks, 6 digs) put junior Rachel Stanford on the service line and Atlee reeled off eight straight points for a 16-9 lead. Stanford, who finished with 19 assists, has improved play this season which adds one more weapon to the Raiders’ arsenal. “She’s really stepped up her game this year,” Suber said. “She’s playing really well.” Carpenter agreed. “Rachel has been very solid for us,” he said. “She’s got great hands, good instincts, great timing. She sees the court well. She’s one of my better servers because she can

Yellow Jackets stampede Bison 49-33 R-MC’s Sanders and McGhee both break century mark on the ground By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Randolph-Macon running backs Drake Sanders and Will McGhee combined for two touchdowns and 264 yards rushing while quarterback Zac Naccarato added four TDs and 229 yards through the air as the Yellow Jackets (2-1) defeated visiting Bethany, WV 49-33 on Saturday afternoon. Though stifled early, Sanders (116 yards) and McGhee (148 yards) began to find success by taking the ball to the outside. “We noticed that early on when we were pulling around it was open at lot of the times,” McGhee said. “If we could just get a couple guys cutting down we could be off to the races.” Following the blocks of junior lineman Joe Breithaupt and senior fullback Vance Hendren (Powhatan) the duo did just that, which opened up a 15-of-18 performance in the passing game for Naccarato. “When we can run the ball effectively, we can do whatever we want on offense,” Naccarato said. “We can throw whenever we want to, whenever we can establish the run.” Bethany (0-2) came into the non-conference matchup off a bye week after losing 42-21 to #23 Centre College in their season opener. After speaking with Centre head coach Andy Frye, R-MC’s Pedro Arruza quickly learned he had to focus his attention on Bison 6’4” 245 junior quarterback Matt Grimard. While the R-MC defense kept Grimard from getting the win, the Yellow Jackets did

little to slow his offensive production. On the day, Grimard accounted for four touchdowns and 373 of Bethany’s 450 yards total offense. Grimard (239 yards passing) put Randolph-Macon on their heels quickly. On the first offensive play from scrimmage, he connected with Ed Holmes for a 44-yard completion. Running back D.J. Lesane finished things off five plays later on a 12-yard touchdown run to give Bethany a 7-0 lead barely two minutes into the contest. “He’s definitely a handful,” R-MC senior safety David Fetter (Lee-Davis) said of Grimard. “We knew he was a big guy. We knew he was going to try to run the ball a lot. We were just hoping we could get a lot of guys to the ball and bring him down because he’s not easy to bring down, it’s going to take a couple of guys.” Grimard was most dangerous on the option handoff where he racked up 124 yards rushing. “He’s really good a faking it,” Fetter said. “He holds it in there then pulls it out at the last second, so if you get

greedy and go for the running back he’s going to make you pay for it.” However, when the R-MC defense began forcing the Bison into sustained drives Bethany was less effective. “What we were trying to do it limit the big plays, hold them to drives and we felt like we could get them off the field,” Fetter said. Both teams traded possessions before the R-MC offense started to click. Utilizing a heavy dose of Sanders, RMC went 61 yards on 11 plays capped by a 1-yard touchdown run from Sanders. Without the services of Fred Mitchell Award nominee kicker Josh Storm, due to injury, RMC opted for the 2-point conversion but it failed. The Yellow Jackets took the lead at the start of the second quarter when McGhee set up his own 1-yard score following a 41-yard pass play into the flat. Naccarato then connected with tight end Dan Crouch on the 2point conversion to put Macon on top 14-7. R-MC added to that lead less than a minute later after

senior cornerback Brandon Harrison picked off a Grimard pass and returned it 32-yards to the Bethany 13-yard line. It took one play for the Yellow Jackets to score as Naccarato connected with Hendren for the touchdown and 21-7 lead. However, Grimard quickly answered with a 46-yard run that set up his own 5-yard touchdown to pull Bethany within seven, 21-14. Sanders and McGhee continued to take turns pounding the ball and learning off each other while on the sidelines. “As soon as I come off the sideline I’m immediately going to Drake and telling him what I see, what to look for,” McGhee said. “We communicate throughout the entire game.” Sander concurred. “We’re talking about how the offensive line is blocking and about which plays are working, which plays aren’t working as well and what the defense is doing, how we should cut off our blocks and things like that.” Naccarato reopened a twoscore lead on a 2-yard scor-

ing pass to Zach Midula with 1:53 left in the half but the Bison continued to hang tough. Grimard led a 12-play, 70-yard drive to score on a 12-yard TD pass to Holmes 11 seconds before halftime. Harrison blocked the PAT and R-MC led 28-20 at the break. The Yellow Jackets clung to a 35-27 late in the third quarter before opening up some breathing room when Naccarato connected with a wide open Luke Sellers on a 44-yard touchdown pass. For Naccarato, the ground work of Sanders and McGhee made the play possible. “The toss action just got the whole defense to move over just because we’d been running the ball so effectively.” Midway through the fourth Crouch gave R-MC its biggest lead when he made the catch of the day. On first and goal from the nine, Narracto went to his final option, threaded a pass through defenders and Crouch seemingly came out of nowhere

to make a diving catch for a 49-27 lead. “I was reading the flat first but then went to the corner route,” Naccarato said. “He just made a really good play. I threw it out there and tried to give him a chance and he made an awesome play on the ball. That was a great job.” Grimard produced the final score on a 16-yard run up the middle which was set up by a 21-yard pass play to Jonathan Foster. Though happy with the win, Arruza was not pleased with Grimard’s ability to abuse the R-MC secondary. “There’s obviously a lot we need to improve on, especially in the secondary,” he said. “I was disappointed that we didn’t play better back there.” Sophomore safety Danny Hunt netted a team high eight solo tackles but Arruza pointed out that most of them came in recovery. Fetter finished with six tackles, Tom Solak four and sophomore defensive end Calvin see JACKETS, pg. 43 `

at the end. Luckily we had a nice cushion so it didn’t hurt us too bad. But momentum is such a fragile thing in this game. You give a team a big run at the end of a set and it gives momentum

to them and they can take it and run with it and run over you in the second set.” Lee-Davis carried the momentum into set two and took an early 4-2 lead before Atlee answered. With Stanford once again at serve, the Raiders ran off seven straight points for

Davis (Lee-Davis) three with a sack. Fetter acknowledged that R-MC needed to do a better job of stopping Grimard. “We get frustrated out there but the thing is you can’t point fingers at each individual guys, you’ve just got to play defense as a team and believe that you’re going to stop him,” he said. “Offense helped us out,” Fetter said. “They played well, which really helped us out because the defense struggled at times.” Two bright notes on the day came in the play of freshman kicker Matt Stanek and junior punter Tracy Murden, who were filling in for Storm. “Those guys stepped up when they had to step up so that’s a positive,” Arruza said. Stanek was 5-of-5 on PAT’s but missed a late 27-yard field goal attempt. “If he makes that field goal he has a great day,” Arruza said. “Stanek’s got a chance to be good.” Murden provided solid relief as punter netting a 43-yard average on his two punts. a little breathing room. It was space that Atlee would need as Lee-Davis battled point for point to trim the margin to four, 19-15 heading into the stretch. “We’re battling,” said LeeDavis head coach Sharon Gaston. “We know what kind of team they are, a fast paced team so we try to work on things in our game to be able to stop them.” A kill from Blackmore gave service to Clarke Tyler and Atlee scored four straight to widen the gap. Lee-Davis broke the momentum with a timeout and point but the Raiders closed out game two 25-16. Set three was lopsided from the start as Atlee put on a serving exhibition with everything going

“We’ve always known he has the ability to do it,” Arruza said. “I’ve said it before he’s probably more talented than Josh it’s just a mental thing for him. If he can keep doing what he’s doing I’d like for him to be the guy the rest of the year.” Arruza said there is still a chance Storm may return before the end of the season. R-MC has a much needed bye week before traveling to Emory & Henry to open ODAC play on Sept. 29. “We’re dinged up right now,” Arruza said. “We need to get healthy so I think this bye week is coming at a good time because we really need to get healthy. We’ve got a lot of injuries right now.” Bethany................. 7 13 7 6 – 33 R-MC..................... 6 22 14 7 – 49 RUSHING: Bethany-Matt Grimard 18-124; Phil Acrie 7-38; Brandon Hill 4-28; D.J.

their way. After Brooks scored on four consecutive aces for a 5-1 lead, the two teams battled in one of the longest volleys of the night. The Raiders knew everything was going their way when Kayleigh Moody got a dig at the net with her elbow and Atlee took the point. Atlee then picked up a point on a self-defense move by Suber. Standing on the backline with the ball rocketing towards her face, Suber threw up her arms for protection. The ball caromed, clipped the top of the net and dropped onto the Confederates’ court for another point. Both Suber and Carpenter could not help but laugh. “Sometimes it’s good to be lucky,” Carpenter said. “That was nice to get a giggle. It probably wouldn’t have been so funny if

it had gone into the net or out of bounds or something.” Suber had no intentions of scoring with the move. “I didn’t want to pass it over the net, I just didn’t want it to hit the floor,” she said. Brooks then added three more aces to her total and Atlee held an 11-1 lead from which they went on to win 25-8. “I think we kind of turned it up a little bit and we got a lot more of our serves in,” Suber said. “The second game we missed a lot more of our serves and I think we just adjusted to their style of play better.” Giving Atlee a run was a confidence booster for Lee-Davis but Gaston knows her team still has much to improve upon. “In some ways, in other ways it just reminds us that we need to

keep working hard,” she said. “We’ve got the rest of the district we’ve got to beat and we’ve got to play them again. We should be good but you never know. It all depends on what happens every night when you come out to play.” Likewise, always the perfectionist, Carpenter saw work yet to do for his Raiders. “I still don’t think we’ve found our groove yet,” he said. “We can play at a high level then not.” Atlee................................... 25 25 25 Lee-Davis........................... 18 15 8 Highlights: Karlie Suber (A) 8 kills, 6 aces, 2 blocks, 6 digs; Hailey Brooks (A) 10 kills, 11 aces, 10 assists, 4 digs; Kylah Blackmore (A) 6 kills, 4 digs; Becca Lass (LD) 6 kills, 4 blocks, 4 digs, 2 aces; Jordan Martin (LD) 5 assists, 4 digs, 3 aces.
