Supervisors updated on changes at airport By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Planning a business trip or vacation from Richmond? Depending on what direction you’re flying, fares could vary greatly from discount to top dollar. Jon Mathiasen, president and
CEO of the Capital Region Airport Commission, recently told the Hanover County Board of Supervisors that a changing market has resulted in the wide array of fares. The Richmond airport services about 3.2 million passengers a year, down from a high in 2007 when the
economy was booming. There are seven major carriers flying routes from Richmond. Air Canada flies a direct flight to Toronto, a major hub for the airline for European destinations. “Toronto is a major hub for Air Canada so you can go to a lot of places
not only in Canada, but in Europe,” Mathiasen said. Richmond is unique in its design and boasts the only two-runway operation in the Mid-Atlantic region. Mathiasen said the Richmond aviation news is good. “Last year we completed the saf-

Habitat helps mom and son become homeowners Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Megan Toomey said she didn’t think that she and her son Mason would ever own a home of their own. “With only one income, I never imagined I would be able to afford a conventional home loan or even qualify for a mortgage. I had always assumed that Habitat for Humanity was for people without jobs and a house was just given to them. I was really surprised to learn that Habitat requires you to meet specific criteria like having a stable income, decent credit, a willingness to contribute 200 hours of sweat equity, and that you also have a mortgage payment just like everyone else. Once I learned what Habitat was really about, it became very obvious to me that Habitat for Humanity and I would be a perfect match. This very well may be the only opportunity I have to purchase a home. It is such a blessing, and I am so grateful.” Habitat executive director Tim Bowring said “Megan’s bright and outgoing personality is a great fit for her work as a receptionist at Ashland Family Dentistry, where she has been employed for the past seven years. Her enthusiasm for her work is obvious.” She said, “I love my job. My co-workers are like my second family. I really care about the well-being of all our patients and the people I work with. “ Megan began her sweat equity hours by working alongside other volunteers and

Partner Families at Habitat’s 41st home for the Goodman family. She has nothing but great things to say about her experience: “I told my mom that I feel like God has brought me down this path to help me build genuine, long-lasting friendships. Being able to help families with something that is so life-changing for them is an amazing feeling.” She laughingly said, “I know now why people volunteer with Hanover Habitat: It’s like food for your heart and soul, it really makes you feel great to help people in need.” A resident of Hanover County since childhood, Megan and her 8-year-old son Mason have rented an apartment in Ashland the past few years. Hanover Habitat broke ground on Megan’s home in late August, with friends and family there to cheer her on. Deacons from the First Baptist Church of Elmont wel-
comed Megan and Mason to the neighborhood (her home will be built near their church), offered a heartfelt benediction, and helped to lead the Groundbreaking Ceremony. Megan said, “I am so excited about being a homeowner. Mason and I will take a great sense of pride in our home. It’s a wonderful feeling to know that even though I am a single mom, I can still provide a nice, stable home for my son.” Hanover Habitat for Humanity is a nonprofit Christian organization that partners with the community and hardworking low-income Hanover families to transform lives by building affordable homes, hope and opportunity.

the atmosphere and convenience. “It’s both for storage for the band in the off-season and a warmer, more pleasant facility, more user-friendly facility to actually serve food out of,� he said. Food will not be prepared in the new building, he added. The plan is for food to be either pre-prepared or cooked on an outside grill. Baldwin said the cost of the new building will be in the $20,000 to $25,000 range. “Actually, expenses will be far less than that because of the in-kind donations from individuals and corporations,� Baldwin said. “And so we are extremely fortunate. It was the right time for folks to donate their time and their services and materials to able for us to put this up.� Some of the band boosters were handson with the project that began on July 16, Baldwin said. “We have several folks that have specialties in the trade – plumbing, electrical,� Baldwin said. “It all came together nicely.� The project also was supported by Atlee principal Jennifer Cohodas and the school administration, in addition to Hanover County Public Schools Central Office representatives, Baldwin said.

Atlee Chiropractic Center will sponsor a Family Health and Fitness USA Day from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Sept. 29, at 9173 Atlee Road in Mechanicsville. Fitness activities will be pro-
important, because concessions are one of the band boosters’ main sources of fundraising. Once the permitting process is completed, the building will become school property, Baldwin said. “There are limited school funds, and, of course, with this economic situation, times are very challenging to start with, but a significant amount of band program funding comes through the boosters and that’s why our goal is to support the program — not just the marching band, but all band programs at the school to the fullest of our capability,� Baldwin said. While the band boosters aim for 100 percent participation from band members’ families, Baldwin, whose 16-year-old son Caleb is a junior drum major, said the percentage of participation is about 85 to 90 percent. Paul Rozecki, director of band programs at Atlee, said there are 81 members in the Atlee Marching Raiders Band and they recently saw the new concession stand building during a band preview performance. “Oh, the kids were excited and they realize now that the concessions [have] become a huge part of our funding,� Rozecki said. “We talked about it to the kids in rehearsals, but, for them to see it, the reality has really set in with them.�

Money raised through concessions helps pay for transportation, uniforms, instruments and other needs the band may have, Rozecki said. It costs about $20,000 annually to operate a marching band, with most of that coming from a $175 fee per band member, the band director added. “Anything above and beyond what the marching band fee pays for, the boosters cover that,� Rozecki said. Band uniforms cost about $550 for each member and instruments like the sousaphone sell for about $6,000, Rozecki said. The school district pays for some of the instruments, but not all of them, Rozecki said. “The big-ticket items, the boosters pay for those things,� he said. Baldwin said the concession stand building will remain all white this year, but a logo may be added in the future. The new building, which is on the visitors’ side, will make “the stadium look more beautiful and it’s going to attract more patrons,� Rozecki said. Baldwin echoed Rozecki’s comments. “We have a great football team,� Baldwin said. “We have a great athletics department and we have a great band and band programs. This facility is to enhance the experience of coming to Atlee High School and we’re very proud of it.�

in the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) National Air Control System. One ongoing issue for Richmond travelers to New York City is the limited number of carriers and high fares. Delta and United are the only providers for the NYC route, and the absence of Jet Blue and USAir on that flight have increased fares dramatically. “We did have Jet Blue in the JFK market a few years ago,� Mathiasen said. “When we did have that, fares were more reasonable than they are today.� He said fares are up over 300 percent from Richmond to New York. “There’s no competition and there’s probably not a hope in sight of having a low-cost carrier enter that market,� Mathiasen said. New York represents 10 percent of the airport’s total business. Mathiasen said trips to Charlotte or New York purchased last-minute could cost
up to $1,000. Conversely, routes to Atlanta are about half of the price compared with fares before the entry of Air Tran and other discount carriers. Another fluid situation that could affect Richmond travelers is the recent bankruptcy announcement of American Airlines. That carrier also announced the possibility of an upcoming strike, further muddling the picture. “It’s a good airline. It takes us all the way to Dallas non-stop,� Mathiasen said. “I’d hate to see another shrinkage of airlines. He said fewer airlines are not the only problem facing the local aviation industry. Continually rising fuel costs make the profit equation more difficult for carriers. The Airport Commission was founded more than two decades ago, and Hanover has two representatives on the board comprised of the big four surrounding regions: Richmond, Chesterfield, Henrico and Hanover.
board appreciates his good work and urged a continued effort to lower costs for local travelers. “We support everything that you can do to keep fares down,�
he said. “I know that it’s an ongoing battle for you.� Via and Aubrey Stanley serve as Hanover County’s representatives on the Captial Region Airport Commission.

More than 3 million passengers used Richmond International Airport last year, and those numbers are expected to steadily increase in coming years.
“The airlines sell their tickets today based on oil prices today, but you may not be flying for two months. When you fly, fuel prices might have gone up 30 percent, so it’s a very risky game they play,� Mathiasen said. Richmond International operates flights to 19 non-stop cities. With the recent purchase of Air Tran by Southwest Airlines, Mathiasen expects that number to increase. “We would envision we
would see additional non-stops into the market,� he said. Mathiasen said Southwest’s decision to remain in Richmond means more business and better access for local travelers. “This time next year, I won’t say we’ll be in high cotton but we’ll be in a much better position that we are today.� Ed Via, chairman of the Hanover Board of Supervisors, said.

From the editor
Covering news and respecting victims A Hanover County student recently became the victim of a shooting incident in Henrico County. Reports have been sketchy as to the victim, with the exception of limited medical information such as being released from the hospital after receiving treatment for the gunshot wound.. After being hounded by non-print media, a family member came by our office to talk about the situation. Fighting back tears, the family member (who will not even be identified by gender) was alarmed at the harassment as the victim remained hospitalized. Heading into 38 years in newspapers, this writer has always tried to be sensitive to the victim while still being keenly aware of how we handle and report the news aspect. In this case, family members found themselves forced to post “No Trespassing” signs to keep reporters (and I’ll repeat — non-print) from coming onto their lawn and to their door. Let’s see, a shooting has occurred, a young woman is in the hospital being treated, and a family is worried and fearful. Law enforcement from Hanover and Henrico counties had to step in to protect the family’s privacy. While covering the news is our responsibility, there is that line that we should — no, must — respect. What if it was our loved one recovering from a shooting? Or, worse, what if our loved one was clinging to life with no immediate assurances of survival? It’s always amazed me when I’ve seen microphones shoved in the faces of accused killers. And the ringing out of “Did you do it?” Seriously, what person is going to look at a reporter and say, “Yes, I did it.” I don’t think so. But I digress. There is a victim in this story and her day in court will come. In the meantime, her recuperation — aggravation-free — is what matters most to her family and friends. As Aretha Franklin sang, “R-E-S-P-E-C-T find out what it means to me.” It means a lot, especially when you’re the victim of a crime. Melody Kinser

Hanover Fire & EMS lost trusted co-worker, faithful friend Recently the Fire Marshal’s office of the Hanover County Fire/EMS Department lost a truly remarkable co-worker and friend, our first canine Hunter had to be put down. Hunter was a bomb detection canine that served in a most outstanding manner. Hunter, like all of us grew old was in pain plus suffering. His handler, Lt. William Bryant, did what had to be done, for that was owed to Hunter. I know this was not easy for William, but he knew Hunter. I can remember the first time I met Hunter; a beautiful black flat-coat retriever. It was out back at the offices and Hunter was running around like dogs do, picking up sticks and limbs and bringing them to us to show what he had found. He loved to play; he was such a joy. Hunter took his playing serious, but his work was his first love. Hunter was a highly trained professional and took his work very serious -- without ever complaining. His reward for working was playing with William. This is a sample of some of the duties Hunter performed: made sure that buildings and areas were safe for presidents, heads of states, queens, political candidates, searched schools for our children, searched government buildings and college buildings, assisted law enforcement agencies in locating weapons used by criminals, plus he traveled quite a bit to assist other agencies. He got around, to say the least, and was loved by all who Hunter came to meet. No one was a stranger to Hunter. William and his family will miss Hunter as will all of us. Hunter had been “breaking-in” in a new canine, Nero. Nero is not replacing Hunter -- no canine could. But he is carrying on the duties that Hunter started here. So, Hunter we miss and love you and know you are chasing the sticks and limbs in Dog Heaven. Hunter, may you rest in peace. Thank you for all you did -- you will be in our hearts forever. Fire Marshal’s Office and Hanover County Fire/ EMS Department (Judson Flournoy)
To the man in the truck who made my day Imagine my surprise and disbelief on a busy Friday before Labor Day Weekend when I pulled up to a very busy fast food line to pay for my sandwich and large unsweetened tea by Virginia Center Commons only to find out that a man in a truck two cars ahead of me had paid for my
meal. I was the blonde lady in the maroon Yukon. What a wonderful act of kindness on your part, especially since I was a frazzled Hanover County middle school teacher returning back to school that week and trying to fit a quick bite to eat in on a lunch break. I don’t know who you are, but you made my day. Thank you. Acts of kindness go a long way. Cary Pomeroy Mechanicsville resident and Proud Hanover County Public Schools teacher
Show to help MCEF was great If you missed the John Marshall Alumni Band concert on Sept. 11, you really missed a great show. MCEF (Mechanicsville Churches Emergency Functions) wants to express appreciation to the band under the direction of Tom Newman for a wonderful benefit concert. Not only did they display their great talents with lively music but they also gave us a patriotic program, complete with the color guard and official songs for each branch of the military. It was perfect for a 9/11 program and I think we should make this an annual event for Mechanicsville. MCEF provides financial assistance, food and clothing for people in Mechanicsville who need help. We do not give “hand outs,” but we help families get through tough times and get back on their feet. The concert brought in money to help keep utilities on and rent paid, and also six large bins of food for the food pantry. During the past year, MCEF helped 179 families with essential bills, and we have an average of 200 families coming to the food pantry each month. We appreciate all of the support of the community. see LETTERS, pg. 8

In the question of sidestepping the Voting Rights Act, I strongly take issue with County Attorney Sterling Rives and Registrar Teri Smithson, who want less restrictions on voting officials while possibly causing more restrictions on voters. We have recently seen partisan abuses in Ohio and Pennsylvania, which are not under the Voting Rights Act, in which voting times have been unfairly altered to the disadvantage of one party and of certain minorities. The Voting Rights Act exists in the South where various procedures were set up as obstacles to those who failed to vote as desired. This represents encroachment of big govern-

Why doesn’t anyone out there ever ask why President Obama’s past records are sealed? Probably answer: He has a lot to hide. Fact (you won’t see/hear this on the “lapdog” networks): President Obama’s “dream” is to systematically transform America into a Leninist style of Socialism where government controls and owns everything in the country. There will be no wealthy people at all except those who work for the Obamas and the government. Watch the movie Obama’s 2016 to see the shocking truth about Obama’s dream. You owe it to yourself, your family and your country to view this amazing before you cast your vote in November. God bless America! Stephen Brown Mechanicsville

The extent in which your frequent columnist Steve Sneed will go to spread his unchristian, really anti-christian, viewpoints is mind boggling. When I see his extremely long and overly wordy letters I always think, I wonder if he realizes that he is so far out of the mainstream that he is essentially the only one writing in with these extreme views. In a way, I feel sorry for him, because, even though he is willing to admit he is an atheist, it also seems as if he dislikes his own country. However, the good news

is that he can try as he may to disparage and demean our founding fathers and our founding documents, but these Christian-based documents and our heroic founding fathers and their very strong Biblical World view can speak for themselves. For example, here is just a very small sampling of some of founding fathers thoughts and statements about their Christian World view: “It is when people forget God that tyrants forge their chains.” Patrick Henry “. . . Take the Bible out of our schools and there would be an explosion in crime.” Benjamin Franklin “It is impossible to rightly govern the world without God and the Bible.” George Washington “God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.” Daniel Webster “Education is useless without the Bible.” Noah Webster “The Bible is worth all other books which have ever been printed.” Patrick Henry And one of my very favorites sums it up very well, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the

Birthday donations to SPCA
Deputy addresses Kidstuf
Photo submitted by Jay Styles
Lianna Styles of Mechanicsville recently celebrated her ninth birthday with a party at World Class Martial Arts in Mechanicsville. Instead of presents, she asked her guests to bring donations for the SPCA. In all, she collected about 145 pounds of pet food, toys and other supplies. Lianna is the third one from the right on the back row. She is shown with her friends and the supplies.
And the beat goes on . . . Photo submitted by Tonya Carey
Deputy J.P. McLaughlin of the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office made a guest appearance on Friday, Sept. 7, during the Kidstuf performance at Atlee Community Church. Kidstuf is a virtue-driven production for families where character and faith are taught by emphasizing a monthly virtue. The September virtue introduced was “Respect,” showing others they are important by what you say and do. Kidstuf is a place where parents and their children can come together in a unique environment that will give them a shared experience that they can discuss further together during the week. This event unites families while providing a fun environment filled with laughter and learning. The next Kidstuf performance is scheduled for Friday, Oct. 5. You can find out more information at atleechurch.org. Shown are, from left, front row, Hailey Compton, Victoria Alvis, Nicole Wolanin and Taylor Wolanin; middle row, Annette McIlwain, McLaughlin and Jerry Duff; and, back row, Tosha Feild, Nicole Johnson, Rob Johnson, Tanner Sigmon and Matt Terry.

Tommy Gurley, a lifetime member of East Hanover, and an active and running volunteer, was honored with a Certificate of Achievement Award noting the squad’s appreciation of his dedication. He also received a special “Challenge Coin” given to those members who have exceedingly gone “Above and Beyond the Call of Duty for his constant and consistent service to the Hanover community.” Tommy is the second of three generations of the Gurley family to serve at East Hanover. His parents, Don and Anne, served at the squad until their recent passing, and Tommy’s sons, Jonathon, Chris and Joey, all have been a part of the EHVRS life. Jonathon and Joey started in the same program as their dad, the squad’s Med Tech Program. Except for only one other officer at the squad, Gurley has been the longest serving officer of East Hanover, having served
as captain and first lieutenant since the mid-1980s. Gurley started in the East Hanover’s “Med Tech” Program for members between the age of 13 and 15. He took a break for awhile, and rejoined the squad very early in the 1980s when he was voted by the squad’s General Membership as first lieutenant and captain until 2012. He shared those positions for the entire length of time. Tommy will be celebrating his 25th anniversary soon with East Hanover. In addition to the countless hours running the East Hanover Volunteer Rescue Squad, Tommy has added the same number of hours to Scout Troop 535. His son Joey constructed East Hanover’s Memorial Walkway in the front of the squad building as his Eagle Scout Project. Tommy is described as a tireless advocate for the volunteer system in the county and a tireless worker who will support what he considers best. He continues to still serve his community and is often see him behind the wheel of those “blue and whites.” To congratulate Tommy Gurley, notes by e-mail to webmaster@ehvrs.org.

The annual Hanover Hawk Marching Invitational (HHMI) will get underway at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 13, in the Hanover High School stadium. The rain or shine event is expected to run until about 5 p.m. Last year, more than 100 student and parent volunteers bustled about just after daybreak to prepare for more than 2,000 guests to arrive at Hanover High School. Dispatched to their assignments with military efficiency, legions of volunteers readied their stations as parking direc-

tors, student guides, concessions staff and hospitality directors as Hanover prepared to host the HHMI. The HHMI welcomes high school marching bands from across Virginia each fall to compete and receive evaluations from adjudicators in areas such as marching, auxiliary, percussion, drum major and general effect. The feedback received from the judges allows the participating bands to hone their performances in preparation for state-level competitions. Proceeds from the event are the primary fundraising source of revenue for the Hanover High band programs, which include marching and concert bands and wind, jazz and percussion ensembles. Preparation for the annual event is no small feat, but years of Band Booster experience and the enthusiasm of scores of teenagers lends an infectious air of excitement when the day finally arrives.
Nineteen bands will compete and Hanover’s Marching Hawks will perform in exhibition in a tight schedule that keeps everyone in motion to greet the guest bands, warm-up, allow for staging and performance. Amy Birdsong, director of bands at Hanover High, attributes the popularity of HHMI to the efficient scheduling of bands, respected judges, friendly volunteers and great food. In addition to the traditional concession fare for sale, band directors and bus drivers are treated to home-baked treats and relaxing diversion in the Hawks’ hospitality tent. For the Hanover High students and volunteers, it’s a day to treat their guests to Hanover hospitality and build on a successful tradition of marching band competition. For the spectators, the varied musical selections and impressive field shows provide a full day of family-friendly entertainment.

House tour to benefit humane society A tour of a house known as Ambrosia at 3423 Lakeview Drive in Mechanicsville will benefit the Hanover Humane Society. At 2 p.m. on Sunday, Sept. 30, Diane and Cookie Edwards will open their home, built in 1997, to the public. The name Ambrosia came from an oceanfront house in Pine Island in Corolla, N.C. The house was inspired by that one in some ways but mainly reflects the ideas of Diane and Cookie, who took about two years designing the floor plan. The lake out back is called “Idylwild” and is about 100 acres and is naturally fed by streams and springs. It is fully stocked and has lots and lots of wildlife and natural habitats for birds and other wild animals. It is the largest lake in Hanover. According to Diane and Cookie, they have eagles and a heron and are a main stopover for birds heading South for the winter. On one of Cookie’s fishing escapades one day by the dam, he had the privilege of being up close to a young eagle who was watching him fishing. When Cookie caught a fish, he threw it to the baby and he proceeded to eat it. Some highlights of the house include:
A lampost with gargoyles was used in a “Batman” movie. Purchased at Governor’s Antiques, the lampost was rented by the movie people while filming in Richmond. Likewise, a large urn by the front door was in a “Hannibal” movie and displays original faux finishing used. Keystones set in stones over front door and dining room windows are direct replicas of those used on brownstones in New York in the 1920s. Throughout the house there are several gargoyles, griffins and lions’ heads. Throughout history it was believed that these creatures warded off evil spirits. All stained glass doors are very old. All wood flooring is heart pine salvaged from a church built in the late 1800s in Southwest Virginia. Kitchen is the original design but updated with granite corners. The stained glass over the windows on the transoms are mostly from England. All the fireplaces are designed by Cookie. The coal basket is a reproduction. All fireplaces are gas. Ironwork surrounding the television in the living room is from an old gate. The centerpiece over the TV is brass and came from an old bank teller window. Built-ins in the dining room were constructed from an
Festival of India– Annual since 1982
antique bed. Rugs in the house are all Persian. Stained glass over doorway in the foyer is from an old church as is the wood paneling you see. Headers over tje doorway going to the basement and the door going into library, along with the header over the mantlepiece all came from woodwork in a house built in the 1700s in Richmond. The chandelier came from an old mansion in Roanoke. The tiles in the library are majolica and came from Portugal. A piece over the fireplace was made with plywood and sheetrock mud. The bed in the master bedroom was made by Cookie using a combination of old and new wood. The headboard od stained glass out of s church
in North Carolina. The fireplace also has majolica tile from Philadelphia. The ironwork above is an old gate modified to frame a mirror and dates back to the Civil War. The bathroom has been updated. Columns more than 100 years old are from India. A stained glass door leading to a closet came from a monastery. The stone floor work in the basement was done by Cookie. There is a small gym workout room at the left at bottom of stairs. The ceiling over the pool table was designed to look like stars twinkling. Cookie made the fireplace from all old wood. The ping pong table was made by Cookie. A bed was made from an old door. Stone work in the bathroom has design by Cookie.

district.” Tom Wulf, president of the Ashland Main Street
Association, said, “From the Main Street perspective, this is the perfect event to [promote] our causes.” Hugh Joyce, president of James River Air Conditioning
and the owner of Gallery Flux in Ashland, is Ashland Arts Walks’ chief sponsor. He received a framed poster at the meeting for his continuing support.
The poster was designed by Elizabeth Royal of Stone’s Throw Studio in Montpelier. Joyce said the Ashland Arts Walk provides an opportunity for downtown businesses to promote themselves, raise money for a good cause, and provide fellowship for those who attend. “Downtown doesn’t work if nobody comes,” Joyce said. Jean Pollard, president of Market Ashland Partnership – Shop Ashland First, and a partner in the Roberts Insurance Group, also attended the kickoff meeting and is a supporter of the Ashland Arts Walk. This will be the third time the bi-annual event has been held.
“It’s a great night,” Pollard said. “I love it.” Pollard also said there are several new businesses in Ashland and the Ashland Arts Walk is a good way to promote them while benefiting a worthy cause. Some of the artists who will participate are Brenda Bickerstaff-Stanley, Debbie Douglas, Linda Hollet-Bazouzi, Barbara Keating, Christopher Mize, Ron Navronski, Eva Redford, Lois Shipley and Katherine Thomson. Music will be provided by guitarists Mike and Ed, who also are known as the Singing Sailors. In addition to the local artwork, the National Lilly
Oncology On Canvas traveling art exhibit will be on display at Ashland Therapy at 210 England St. The exhibit includes artwork and stories about cancer from winners of Lilly’s National Art Competition Miles said the goal is to raise $4,000. Those who attend the Oct. 26 event should present their tickets or purchase tickets at Virginia Real Estate & Development Inc. at 202B England St. in Ashland.

DMV is working with Marine Corps Base Quantico and Fort Lee, which serve as third-party testing sites to train additional personnel.

Winterization Program needs funds, volunteers Hanover County’s annual Winterization Program helps low-income, disabled and/or elderly county residents by placing plastic over windows, wrapping water pipes and weatherstripping doors. The service depends on funds donated to buy needed supplies as well as the availability of volunteer groups. Volunteer groups throughout Hanover can register with the Winterization program to conduct one or more of these projects. The available groups are then assigned to independently complete the winterization tasks for eligible lowincome families, elderly or disabled homeowners. The goal is to ensure that all eligible households have this minimal level of protection from the winter weather. Again this year the Department of Community
Resources is working in partnership with the countywide “Mission to Virginia” day of service to be held on Nov. 10. Beaverdam Baptist Church facilitates this call to volunteer action by mobilizing churches throughout the county to respond to winterization and home repair needs within our community. Volunteer work crews and requests for assistance will be accepted after the “Mission to Virginia” day of service and additional projects will be assigned after that date if resources are available. Persons interested in volunteering, contributing funds for supplies or who are in need of Winterization are asked to contact Lisa Adkins at the Hanover County Department of Community Resources at 804-365-4302. You also can e-mail volunteer@co.hanover. va.us.
‘Creator Stew Crew’ ready for State Fair The “Creator Stew Crew” from the Episcopal Church of the Creator in Mechanicsville will start its 2012 stew season by competing in the State Fair of Virginia Brunswick Stew Contest on Saturday, Sept. 29.

Stew samples, bowls and quarts will be available for sale beginning at 11 a.m. In addition to competing at the State Fair, the crew will be competing at the 17th Street Farmer’s Market Brunswick Stew Festival on Nov. 3. The crew will hold Brunswick stew sales on Oct. 13 and Dec. 8 at the church. For more information, visit on Facebook at Creator Stew Crew/ the Episcopal Church of the Creator.
Agencies join for drug takeback Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com The Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office and the Ashland Police Department will be participating with the Richmond District Office of the Drug Enforcement Administration in the fifth National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 29, at the Mechanicsville Solid Waste Center on Verdi Lane and the Ashland Police Department as collection sites. Citizens can safely surrender their expired, unwanted or unused pharmaceuticals and medications -- no questions asked, no identification required. These items include: ✓ Prescription medications and over-thecounter solid dosage medications (e.g. tablets, capsules, pills, etc.). ✓ = Liquid products, such as prescription cough syrups (please keep sealed in original container). The following are examples of items that will not be accepted: ✓ Intra-venous solutions, injectables and needles. ✓ Illicit substances such as marijuana or methamphetamine. “Residents of Hanover County and the Town
of Ashland are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity to help make our homes, communities and environment safe from abused and improperly disposed of prescription drugs,” Sgt. Chris R. Whitley of the Sheriff ’s Office said. “Unused prescription drugs can pose a significant threat to the safety and welfare of our citizens, as well as to the environment, if they are not disposed of properly,” he added. “Today, the nation’s fastest growing drug problem is the abuse of prescription drugs. This has led to substantial increases in the number of accidental poisonings and overdoses in our communities. Studies show that the ease of obtaining these drugs from family and friends, as well as from a medicine cabinet in a home, has led to these alarming increases. In addition, many citizens do not properly dispose of these medications and often flush them down the toilet or simply throw them away in the trash.” To learn more about the initiative, as well as the dangers of prescription drugs, visit the following websites: ❍ http://www.deadiversion.usdoj.gov/drug_ disposal/takeback/index.html ❍ http://www.justice.gov/dea/index.htm ❍ http://www.getsmartaboutdrugs.com/ ❍ http://www.dare.com/kids/index_3.htm.

Martin served on the James Madison University Board of Visitors and was a member of Gov. Jim Gilmore’s Blue Ribbon Commission on Higher Education, which identified opportunities to secure affordable, quality undergraduate education in Virginia. He serves on the Regent University School of Law board. His selection as the university’s first African-American vice rector is historically significant, considering that, as late as 1951, African-American students could not attend UVa based
on Virginia law that prohibited “the admission of white and colored persons in the same schools.” Only a few generations have passed since Walter Ridley became the first AfricanAmerican graduate of the university, receiving a doctorate in education in 1953. When Martin enrolled at the university, there were only 250 African American students in the entire school, and 98 of those were in his class. In the 2011-2012 class, 7.2 percent of the university’s 14,591 undergraduate were African
American. UVa has one of the highest graduation rates among African American students of any public university. “In his new role as vice rector, George represents far more than a historic step forward in this board’s commitment to reflecting the great diversity of our community,” Dragas said. “His irrefutable integrity, character and considerate manner will contribute constructively to our renewed efforts to make real progress and reshape the future outcomes for this great university.”

Hanover County landowners who use their property for agricultural, horticultural or forestal uses or keep it in open space are invited to enroll in the Land Use Taxation Program. Under the program, qualified landowners can have their property assessed at “use value,” which may be lower than market value. This would reduce their real property taxes. The application period for this program began Sept. 1, 2012, and extends through Nov. 1, 2012, with an additional enrollment period Jan. 1, 2013, to Feb. 1, 2013. In order to qualify for the tax deduction, the property must be zoned for agricultural uses and have been in agricultural, horticultural, forest or open space uses for at least five years. Property that has been
zoned Rural Conservation (RC) also can qualify for the Land Use program. The minimum qualifying acreages are five acres for agricultural, horticultural and open space and 20 acres for forest use. A one-acre house site is allowed in all categories. Requirements and values are established by the State Land Evaluation Advisory Council. If the land use is changed, the tax reduction must be repaid with simple interest for the current tax year and a maximum of the previous five tax years. Participants with acreage or use changes must re-apply and re-validate their eligibility. Re-validation also is required after six years even if there is no change in land use. There is no charge for this re-validation.
A $10 filing fee is charged on each new application. Applications will not be accepted if there are any delinquent taxes on the property. About 3,360 parcels and 162,600 acres are enrolled in Hanover County’s Land Use Taxation program. This represents more than one-half the county’s total acreage. The total tax deferral realized by these property owners is about $5.8 million. For more information about the Land Use Program or other tax relief programs offered by Hanover County, call the Commissioner of the Revenue at 804-365-6125 or visit www. co.hanover.va.us/comrevnu/ default.htm.

A Preview Sale for current members of the Friends will be from 6 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 11. Any one is welcome to join the Friends at the door.

The best bargain of all is to purchase a Friends’ tote/book bag for $12, the regular price, and fill it to the brim for free. During the Fall Book Sale, the Friends is sponsoring a Food Drive, collecting nonperish-
able food items, toiletries, paper goods and cleaning products for the Mechanicsville Churches Emergency Functions (MCEF). Bring your donation to the library, and the Friends will deliver everything to MCEF. While at the book sale, you can buy tickets for $1 each for a raffle of three different items, including a hand- painted Christmas angel plaque, a handmade Father Christmas and a colorful hand-painted chair. All items are on display at the library. The drawing will take place at 2 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 13. You do not have to be present to win. The Friends need donations of fiction, both hardback and paperback, so bring any donations to the library during regular hours. All proceeds from the Book Sale and Raffle directly benefit the Atlee Library. For directions or more information, call the library at 804-559-0654.

PH can’t catch up to LD in Tomato Bowl By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local The latest installment of the Tomato Bowl was decided as a great rivalry game should – with fractions of a second remaining on the clock. Lee-Davis, after taking an early lead in the first half, ended a stubborn Patrick Henry rally when senior rover D.J. Ballard deflected a would-be Patriot touchdown pass with 0.2 seconds left to preserve a 27-20 victory and give the C-feds a 27-26 edge in the 53rd meeting between the two schools. The Confederates (2-1) opened the scoring in a big way with a 90-yard punt return by Blake Stattelman. The visiting Patriots (0-3) closed the scoring in a big way, on a 75yard pass from Tyler Phelps to Travis Phillips. Throughout, Lee-Davis running back Chris Simpson, with rushing help from Jordon Prentiss and Deshaun Rogers, kept the Confederate offense grinding forward. Simpson carried the ball 25 times for 255 yards. Prentiss had 12 carries for 82 yards, and Rogers had 13 carries for 45 yards – including touchdowns of 4 and 6 yards, respectively. “We love the Tomato Bowl,” Simpson said. “It’s always a great game between us. Our line blocked great, our defense stepped up, we executed. We let them back in it, it got a little

nerve-wracking, but we pulled it out.” Lee-Davis scored three times in an eight-minute span to take what looked like a commanding lead. Midway through the first quarter, Patrick Henry’s Nathan Boone’s punt bounced past Stattelman and looked like it would end up in the end zone for a touchback. Stattelman ran it down at the 10. By the time he turned back downfield, the Patriot return defense had gotten behind his blockers—just where they

needed to be, in perfect position to take out Stattelman’s pursuers as he sprinted toward the goal line. After an abortive Patrick Henry drive, the Confederates scored the old fashioned way, on a 75-yard march driven largely by Simpson’s running and capped by a 17-yard pass from Brandon Sulser to Austin Rice with two minutes left in the first quarter. Simpson was again responsible for much of the yardage for Lee-Davis’ next scoring drive.
Starting at the Confederate 18yard line, Simpson ended the first quarter with a 5-yard run to the 23. He opened the second quarter with what looked to be another touchdown, but he was run down from behind by a Patriot defensive back – Travis Phillips – at the 10. “That dude was fast,” Simpson said. “When I was running, I didn’t think I was going to break it. I thought they were going to tackle me, and then ‘Whoa! I’m out in the open.’ I started running and

then I could hear that dude running behind me. I peeked out of the corner of my eye, then he caught me.” Deshaun Rogers took two runs to cover the rest of the distance. A missed extra point left the Confederates with a 20-0 lead with 10 minutes left in the half. By the next possession, what had appeared to be an offensive juggernaut began to look a bit frayed. An illegal block penalty nullified a firstdown rush. Then a Sulser pass
was deflected into the hands of Patrick Henry’s Bryson Wong, whose 23-yard return gave the Patriots a first-and-10 at the Lee-Davis 32. Phelps and Phillips combined for a 30yard pass to the 2-yard line, and Otis Harris took two rushes to put the Patriots on the scoreboard. Aside from a Lee-Davis touchdown on a 6-yard run by Rogers, the third quarter was relatively quiet. The Confederates failed to capitalsee TOMATO, pg. 39 `
PH volleyball suffers first loss at Deep Run By Arthur Utley for The Mechanicsville Locals Patrick Henry coach Michael Townsend remembers the Patriots’ glory days in boys volleyball with a purpose in mind. “I talk about it all the time because it was my first year of playing, and that’s when I started loving the game. I just want to build that back up and get us back where we were,” Townsend said Thursday after the current
Patriots lost their first match of the season to Colonial District rival Deep Run. Townsend was an eighth grader in 2001 when the Patriots, coached by David Wyatt, won the district and were Central Region runnersup to Clover Hill. PH then lost to the Cavaliers in a memorable state title match 16-14 in the fifth set. At the time, Townsend was a ball boy for the Patrick Henry

junior varsity team coached by Kevin Pond, who coaches Deep Run now and guided the Wildcats to the state championship in 2008. Patrick Henry entered Thursday’s road match 6-0 overall, 5-0 in the district and seeking validation as a district title contender alongside Douglas Freeman and Deep Run. Freeman defeated Deep Run in the unusually scheduled season-opening match. Deep Run, despite some erratic serving, rallied to win the first set against Patrick Henry 25-22. The Wildcats lost focus in the second set, and the Patriots squared the match at one set apiece with a 25-16 victory. Patrick Henry’s margin could have been even larger were it not for six service errors. Deep Run, with only one returning starter, is Pond’s least experienced high school team since 2007, the year before the state championship. The lone starter, junior middle Ryan Dumke, played in his first match this season Thursday after recuperating from mononucleosis. The Wildcats regrouped after the second-set loss and thrashed the Patriots 25-15 and 25-13 to win the match. “Pretty much our best game was when Deep Run played their weakest and pretty much Deep Run’s game was better when we played our weakest,” said Townsend, who is in his third year as head coach. “The match came down to who made the least errors. They have a lot of experience on that team, and we don’t have that full time experience yet but we’re getting there. All it takes is a lot of reps.” Deep Run has only one senior starter, Bo Bleyl. Though young as a high school team, all the Wildcats compete in high-
level travel ball year round. Pond has changed the Deep Run offense to a 5-1 from the 6-2 it was using to open the season. Christian Taylor has taken on the role as setter. “It’s an education in process,” Pond said of Taylor, a sophomore, who contributed 23 assists against the Patriots. “It’s his team now.” The Wildcats’ defense focused on PH senior Scott Brigham, whose brother Travis played at the same time as Townsend and was a ball boy for Pond as well. “We shut down one of their key players,” said Deep Run’s Colton Stone, who put
on a jump serving exhibition. “We lost it a little in the second game, but other than that we played good.” Stone was credited with three aces, but the Wildcats scored points in bunches on his serve. “Placing the ball forced them to pass,” Pond said, and that led to Patriots’ errors. Brigham logged 12 kills and three aces, but he also made numerous errors that had a noticeable effect on the team. “It was like a snowball effect,” Townsend said. “They had a great jump server. He was hot all night, and we just couldn’t pass.”
The Patriots have first meetings with Mills Godwin and Douglas Freeman coming up. The Wildcats have their rematch at Douglas Freeman Thursday. “They are learning to play together as a group,” Pond said. “With Christian coming along and Dumke back, it’s definitely only up for the rest of the season. I don’t see too much down.” Patrick Henry 22 25 15 13 Deep Run 25 16 25 25 Highlights: Scott Brigham (PH) 12 kills, 3 aces, 9 digs; Lucas Pienkowski (PH) 10 kills, 3 blocks; Colton Stone (DR) 7 kills, 2 blocks, 3 aces; Christian Taylor (DR) 23 assists; Troy Brown (DR) 19 digs.

ize on another scoring opportunity when a 17-yard field goal attempt by sophomore Steven Hall was blocked by Phillips. But the quarter ended with Patrick Henry marching steadily down field. The Patriots then capped that drive with a 13-yard run by Harris with seven minutes remaining in the game. Patrick Henry held the Confederates on the next drive before scoring for the last time on Phelps’ 75-yard pass to Phillips to close within 27-20. Lee-Davis ran down the clock on the ensuing drive, but penalties late in the drive effectively killed their chance for an insurance score and set up the drama of the final drive in which the Patriots looked poised to upset their hosts. “It was a very emotional game. They beat us up front. We had to make some adjustments up front and we did,” said Patrick Henry coach Sam Hart. “We battled back and gave ourselves a chance at the

VHSL adopts new classifications for athletics New divisions set to begin in Fall of 2013 By Eric Kolenich Richmond Times Dispatch The executive committee of the Virginia High School League last Wednesday approved a new system of classification for its 313 schools. The measure passed by a vote of 23-3 and is set to take effect in the 2013-14 school year. The plan, which was introduced in January, divides schools into six classifications based on enrollment. While it brings balance to the state playoffs, it comes at the cost of greater travel and lost rivalries. Wednesday’s vote came after months of heated debate. Among those against the plan was the Central Region. But as it became more evident that six classifications was the future of the VHSL, more people got on board. Glen Allen principal Tracie Weston, who
cast a vote today on behalf of the Central Region principals, was among the 23 votes in favor of the switch. One small school not in favor is Maggie Walker GS. The Green Dragons were placed in Conference 33 with Arcadia and Nandua, which are located on the Eastern Shore, three hours away. Maggie Walker petitioned the VHSL to play up a level against closer competition. That appeal was denied. Many questions still linger, such as the leadership and financial structure of the six divisions and the 48 conferences that are part of the realignment. “Considerable progress has already been made in developing details regarding future organization, playoffs, finances and other aspects,” VHSL executive director Ken Tilley said in a statement. “These efforts will continue over the coming months in preparation for the 2013-14 school year.”
Highland Springs girls basketball coach Franklin Harris said he can live with his team’s new designation in Conference 11. The Springers will be matched against Atlee, Henrico, Lee-Davis, Deep Run, Douglas Freeman, Mills Godwin, Hermitage and Patrick Henry. He expects the conference to be strong in all sports. But he’s curious how far his team might travel for the region playoffs and how the opponent will be determined. “My concern is the travel we will have to do when we’re in region play,” he said. Henrico boys basketball coach Vance Harmon said he’s not sure the new alignment is either good or bad. Some old rivalries will be broken, but new ones will be made. “I think it will take people a few years to say ‘You’re not in the Capital or the Colonial, you’re in 5A North or South,’ ” Harmon said. “The teams that
are supposed to win championships will still have to win games to win the championship. From that regard, it doesn’t bother me one way or another. It might mean you’re playing different teams to get there.” The executive committee also planned to vote on more stringent regulations for pitchers in baseball. But the committee opted to delay judgment on the plan until December to allow more time for review. The regulations are considered emergency legislation, so a new rule can go into effect next season if approved in December. Currently, a pitcher can throw no more than 10 innings in two consecutive days. Under the proposed plan, the number of innings a pitcher can throw is graduated depending on his number of days rest.

Reclassification will change outlook for local teams Hawks have most to gain in new division By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com In the Fall of 2013, Virginia high school athletic programs will face a changed world when it comes to post season play. While the playoff prospects for schools will be drastically altered, it is uncertain the degree of impact that the reclassification will have. Yet, in the long run the bonuses appear they will outweigh the negatives. Where before most state championships were decided in three major categories, Groups AAA, AA and A, the reclassification separates all
sports into six divisions based on school enrollment. Each division, consisting of approximately 50 schools, is broken down into two geographical regions; North/South or East/ West. Each region is then divided into four conferences. A state champion will be crowned for each of the six divisions in nearly every sport. However, in some sports, due to participation numbers, lower classifications will be combined to determine a champion. Girls’ soccer and boys’ tennis will have five championships, swimming and indoor track four, field hockey and boys’ volleyball three. Under the current configuration, local schools Atlee, Lee-
Davis and Patrick Henry maintain their Division 5 standing in 5A South as part of Conference 11. Hanover drops to Division 4A South in Conference 20 and King William will remain in Division 2 as part of 2A East, Conference 33. The reclassification allows more teams the opportunity to compete for a state championship on a leveled playing field the road ahead does not offer much change for some. Of the 51 schools in Division 5, Atlee (42nd), Lee-Davis (44th) and Patrick Henry (51st) are among the smallest. On the other hand both Hanover and King William are 22nd among 51 teams in their respective divisions. Where the county’s
Division 5 schools will face their biggest challenge is on the football field. In 5A-South Conference 11, the Raiders, Confederates and Patriots are the only schools that maintained their divisional status. Every other conference member (Henrico, Highland Springs, Deep Run, Douglas Freeman, Mills Godwin and Hermitage) previously competed on the Division 6 level. Likewise, previous Division 6 members, Meadowbrook, L.C. Bird, Manchester, Matoaca, Clover Hill, Prince George, Hickory, Glouester, Princess Anne, Salem and Norview are all members of 5A South. In all, 18 teams were reclassified from Division 6 to Division 5 while six teams
moved in the opposite direction. Even with the transitions, there will be more opportunity for teams to enter and advance in the playoffs. In football, the top 32 teams in each division by points will compete in a bracket style playoff. When it comes to football, Atlee head coach Roscoe Johnson said nothing has really changed. “It comes down to winning and everybody wants to win a state championship,” he said. “It’s just now we’re going to have a different route of doing it. We no longer have to win the district or win the regions. You just have to win enough football games that you’re
selected.” For all other sports, the post season begins with conference tournaments and the top two teams advance to a regional championship based on North/South, East/West configuration. The top two teams from each division’s geographical region then advance to a state tournament. While it would appear Hanover has gained a huge advantage by dropping to Division 4, they are not alone in the step down in level of play. Nineteen other teams made the same divisional downgrade including Phoebus, which has won six Division 5 football championships over

New faces face off in Hawks vs C-fed rivalry John Atwood following in sibling’s footsteps By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com There were a lot of new faces on the court last Thursday night when the Lee-Davis and Hanover boys’ volleyball teams played the first time this season. “We don’t have a lot of returning players and if they are returning they are new starters,” said Lee-Davis head coach Sally Smith. The same held true for Hanover and another new face, first year head coach Hilary Clark. “Eight of the guys were on varsity last year but only two were starters,” she said. Hawks assistant coach Nick Brown is also a newcomer to the court. While both squads returned few starters from last year it did not keep them from bringing the same intensity as Hanover
(4-4, 2-0 Capital) took the win 3-0, 25-13, 25-21, 25-12. However, with all of the new faces, one player brought a familiar name and style to the court. Hanover sophomore John Atwood is the third in a line of talented Atwood siblings and he brought the same drive and volleyball skills as older brothers Grandon and William who were both standouts for the
Hawks. Knowing he was following in the footsteps of his siblings, John decided he would pay tribute to their contributions to the Hanover volleyball program.

Lewis’ 79 boosts Lee-Davis to Capital title By Dave Lawrence for The Mechanicsville Local MONTPELIER- Lee-Davis golfer Zak Lewis, who could not contribute most of the season due to a hand injury, delivered the Confederates a low score when they needed it most. Lewis, who shot a 79 on a cool but sunny Monday at the Hollows, helped Lee-Davis break a tie with Glen Allen to claim the Capital District golf tournament title on the Montpelier course. Lee-Davis shot a combined score of 317 and Glen Allen came in second with 324. Hanover finished third with 328 and Atlee came in fourth. It was an ironic repeat

by then creating his own legacy. Along with his playing style, John also brings the familiar Atwood scream after big points. “I tried to copy William’s celebrations,” John said. “William always got really hyped. So did Grandon.” Against Lee-Davis, John had several chances to display that scream after recording 15 kills and 9 digs. John admits that he certainly faced pressure taking on a starting role this year after his brothers had made such an impact on the program. “Absolutely, they’re both amazing athletes I’ve got to say,” he said. “They’re excellent, excellent volleyball play-

the past 10 years, including the last four. In Conference 20 Hanover is joined by Dinwiddie, J.R. Tucker, Midlothian, Monacan and Glen Allen. Where the Hawks gain an advantage is in no longer facing matchups such as last year’s state football semifinals when they took on the much larger South County; a school so large it will in fact move up to Division 6 under the new classification. The trade off for parity is playoff travel may become greater. Two of King William’s Conference 33 opponents, Arcadia and Nanuda are over three hours away on the peninsula, a closer journey by boat than bus. And while much has been made of the extended travel for the lower division schools, Cavaliers athletic director Dan Jones feels the balance is still in their favor. “We wanted it because it allows for fair competition once you get into the playoffs,” he said. “Once you hit the playoffs you’re being
ers. They both taught me a lot. They gave me a lot of knowledge coming in.” Watching from the sidelines, Clark was pleased with Atwood’s production. “I thought he did a very nice job tonight,” she said. “It’s the most focused he’s played and he brought a lot of energy to the court. I was really excited about that.” But Hanover did not take the match on Atwood’s talents alone. Senior setter Dan McMahon came away with 33 assists and two blocks while junior standout Drew Hazelgrove notched 10 kills and 7 digs. “Drew is always solid,” Clark said. “He doesn’t say much. He’s a quiet presence on the court but he does a great job.” It was Hazelwood that broke open the first set for Hanover.
With Lee-Davis (4-4, 1-2) leading 3-1, Hazelwood scored on a kill then stepped behind the service line. Aided by two aces and a block from Atwood, the Hawks ran off 10 straight points for an 11-3 lead and took the set 25-13. Set two was a see-saw battle as Lee-Davis found an answer for every Hanover point. The Hawks edged ahead 7-6, but back-to-back kills from Chad Baron and Jordan Laferty put the Confederates on top. Hanover tied the game and the C-feds went back on top again when Laferty dropped a shot into an opening on the Hawks’ side of the court. But Hanover began to regroup and pick up multiple scores at a time to creep ahead. Leading 13-10 at the midway
point, the Hawks went on a 7-3 run and seemed to have the set in hand. Lee-Davis had other plans. Highlighted by two Laferty kills and a Baron ace, the C-feds went on a 6-1 run of their own to pull within a point. A timeout by Clark gave the Hawks a chance to regroup and they closed out the set on a 5-2 run, capped by a Matthew Harper kill to take the win 2521. The third set was all Hanover as the Hawks ran out to a 7-2 lead before blowing the game open. With junior Parker Shelton at service, Hanover went on a 14-1 run to seemingly put the set out of reach. But trailing 21-3, Lee-Davis refused to throw in the towel. “They didn’t give up,” Smith
said. “This team does not give up. I have to give them that. We still have to work on a few things because they make mistakes, but they will not give up.” As Clark put new Hawks on the floor, Lee-Davis went on a run of their own to make things interesting before Hanover closed out the win 25-12. “We came out strong and I thought we were playing really well, up and ready for the game then I guess the third game things just kind of fell apart,” Smith said. “I felt like we hung in the first two games and played really well, to our potential at least. “I think we’re learning a lot,” Smith said. “As long as we stay together, win together, lose together, we can be potentially a good team. It’s just learning to
play with all personalities.” Despite a set two lapse, Clark said Hanover played its best match of the young season. “We’re getting there, definitely,” she said. “We have a lot of guys that do not play volleyball year round so we are improving pretty quickly.” With so many new players on the court, Hanover’s continued improvement should present a challenge to district rivals. “I think we’re just going to keep getting better,” Atwood said. “We have two excellent new coaches and I think we’re going to keep improving.”
pitted against people who have similar enrollment than you.” Where the reclassification most benefits Hanover County is in sports other than football. For example, no longer will the county by limited to only two softball and baseball teams advancing out of district/regional play. In both sports, Hanover has proven to be a consistent obstacle for the other county teams and vice-versa. That will no longer be the case and the county as a whole should benefit. Under the reclassification, Atlee, Patrick Henry and LeeDavis could all compete for a Division 5 championship while Hanover can vie for a Division 4 state championship. It also opens new doors, especially for Hanover as a Division 4 school, in volleyball, wrestling, soccer and cross country. Over the last 10 years in AAA, a team that will be in Division 6 or Division 5 under the new classification has won or come in second for every AAA wrestling title. The same holds true for boys
and girls soccer. In cross country, Midlothian and Maggie Walker are the only teams to break that barrier. Likewise, Hanover and Monacan are the only Division 4 baseball teams to accomplish that feat. Hanover and Loudon Valley (3A) are the only lower division softball teams to reach the championship. In boys’ volleyball, Monacan is the only lower division team to play for a state championship while Loudoun Valley and Hanover at the only girls’ volleyball squads to complete such feat. Basketball has been more equitable over the years with the AAA championships spread evenly among Division 6, 5, and 4 teams. While schools will still compete under their current district alignments, the main objection to the reclassification is that the Central Region championship will cease to exist and the division playoffs will in effect nullify the importance of district tournaments. There will no longer be automatic bids to the playoffs as a result of district titles. Hanover head football
coach Josh Just does not like that the Central Region championships will soon be extinct. “That’s something I thought was very special in this area and not having that’s going to take some getting used to,” he said. “I loved going to the region championship tournaments in all sports…I think that takes a little bit away from the history of the area.” Because district champions will no longer advance, some assume the reclassification will eventually lead to the end of league play. “Reality is, if I don’t win my district, does it really make a difference on me going to playoffs?” Johnson said. “It doesn’t. We don’t have to win our district to get into playoffs, we’ve just got to win football games.” However, according to Jones, an emphasis will still be placed on district play. Though winners are not guaranteed entry in the playoffs, teams will instead be playing for pride. “Realistically, most of the people that are in the districts are neighbors of your family, went to this school, went to that school that’s right
there,” he said. “There’s that family rivalry. There’s that community rivalry. That’s still big winning your district. That’s bragging rights. “When you’re in district play and it comes down to the last game and it’s West Point and maybe King William playing for a district title, that’s an important district title for this community,” Jones said. The same could be said for the rivalries between the Hanover County teams in their respective districts. “That’s bragging rights for as long as you live here and you know somebody that’s on West Point,” Jones said. “Every time you bump into them at the Food Lion you’re going to let them know you beat them for the district title. “That’s why the district is going to be keeping the district tournament because you still have a chance to be a champion at some level for these kids,” Jones said. Though it will take time for reclassification to provide evidence of its success, in the big picture, Hanover County as a whole should come out on top.

Hare was followed by Zak Lewis and Austin Diehr with 79s, and Eric Ashby with an 83. They, along with teammates Owen Knollenberg and Joe Wilson, will compete for the Confederates in the state tournament. They edged Glen Allen’s top four scorers: Holden Davis and Patrick Fernandez, both with 77, and Matthew Cox and Mat Shaw, both with 85. Cox, Davis, Fernandez and Shaw advance as individuals to the region tournament along with Hanover’s Justin Lynn, who had the low score of the day with a 75, and Chris Melton, who shot a 77. Atlee, by virtue of winning the Capital District regular season title, also advances as team to the region tournament.
