Education groups endorse school budget goals By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Hanover County school officials are entering this year’s preliminary budget process with the support of three of the county’s major educational organizations.

They expressed support for a list of goals and objectives for the upcoming budget session during the Tuesday, Oct. 9, Hanover County School Board meeting. This budget process promises financial challenges for most

school districts across the state. Angela Downer of the Hanover Professional Educators said her organization has four principle goals in the upcoming process. She recommended that the School Board attempt to:

✏ Reduce class sizes whenever possible. ✏ Preserve as many jobs as possible. ✏ Consider a salary increase for teachers. ✏ Provide financial assistance to retirees to assist with

health care insurance costs. “We would like to thank Dr. (Jamelle) Wilson (superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools) for drafting goals which are reflective of what is most valued in our school district. We appreciate every-

Elsie Renalds Newcomer, a longtime Mechanicsville resident, and her sister, Janet Renalds Ramsey, recently published the 1861 and 1862 books, the first in the “Life in the Shenandoah Valley” series that offers an intimate view of civilian and military life during the Civil War through a compilation of written accounts. The books center around excerpts from journals kept by their great-grandfather, Siram Peter Henkle, correspondence to and from his nephew, Casper Coiner Henkle, M.D., a surgeon in Stonewall Jackson’s brigade, and news reports from “The Daily Dispatch,” published in Richmond. Siram kept daily accounts about life at Plains Mill, located between Timberville and New Market in the Shenandoah Valley. He recorded what people at the family’s farm and grist and sawmills did each day, except Sundays, and family events. He also reported on the news. “All of it was surprising,” Elsie said. “The Union Army was on their land and the Confederate Army built a railroad across the river from their house.” The journal accounts also discuss laborers going off to war and how people had to help one another harvest crops. Elsie and Janet received a copy of Siram’s journals, which were written between 1842 and 1878, from a relative. The originals were purchased at an auction several years ago by the Library of Virginia. Janet discovered the letters and news accounts on

Elsie Newcomer of Mechanicsville and her sister, Janet Renalds Ramsey, have published two books, “Live in the Shenandoah Valley,” that focus on the years of 1861 and 1862. Newcomer is shown at the Walnut Grove Baptist Church with copies of the books. Robert E. Lee met “Stonewall” Jackson at the church on June 27, 1862, during the pursuit of George B. McClellan’s troops.

the Internet. Elsie said the idea to write the books sprang from research on her family’s history and genealogy, and her interest in writing about the life of her grandmother, Heleah Margaret Henkle Renalds, who was the 13th and youngest child of Siram Henkle, and her three brothers who served in the Civil War. But the amount of information was “overwhelming,” she said, until Janet suggested focusing on 1861. They began by entering the journal notes for that year, and then they added the letters, followed by the news accounts. All of the accounts were arranged chronologically. “When we pulled it all together, why people were going here and there just popped off the pages. It gives

you a feel for what people experienced in those years – a first-hand picture,” she said The sisters completed the first book in 2011, to coincide with the sesquicentennial anniversary of the beginning of the Civil War. Their goal is to publish a book for each year through 1865, according to Elsie. The second book in the series, “1862: Life in the Shenandoah Valley,” was published in August and includes references to Civil War action around Mechanicsville, including the Battle of Gaines Mill, where Casper was only one of five surgeons who were not killed or injured, and Walnut Grove Baptist Church, where Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson and Robert E.

We all agree that schools should be under tight, lockdown provisions.” Roberson then joined regional superintendents for a 3 p.m. meeting in Henrico County. They agreed to “a general set of lockdown provisions which would be evident in each school serving the metro Richmond area.” At 4 p.m. on Oct. 20, the superintendents and a Henrico County police officer acknowledged that “schools are the safest places children can be” as a means of offering comfort to the community. They learned at 7:30 p.m. that the sniper had left a note in Ashland, saying, “P.S. your children are not safe any-

where at any time.” With that information, which they were asked not to share, the superintendents announced school closings for Monday. The Roberson household had its own anxieties when the then-superintendent arrived home at 9 p.m. His two schoolaged children “clearly couldn’t imagine the reasons for the reversal of our decision [on closing schools the next day]. Our daughter wondered aloud, ‘Dad, the sniper has struck in three places we have lived; do you think he knows where we live?’ Our son, a very inquisitive sort, couldn’t reason his way through this; an uncharacteristic period of frightened sobbing was his response.” Roberson met with more than 120 members of the leadership team at 10:15 a.m. on Monday, Oct. 21, to discuss the events of Saturday, Oct. 19. He wrote that the meeting was challenging for him. “I explained the need for us to also recognize the developmental

ferent perspectives: president of a concerned group, parent of students who attend Hanover schools, and as a taxpayer. “I am here imploring you to endorse them and support them,” he said. “I believe, in the three capacities I discussed, that these goals help position the school system to do the right thing by the children of Hanover County and achieve their stated mission.” Owen Matthews, president of the Superintendent’s Business Advisory Committee, also voiced his support for the stated goals for this year’s upcoming budget. “The Hanover County school system succeeds in being a student-centered, community-driven organization with a focus on education for lifelong success,” Matthews said. Those quality schools are a driving force behind the success of Hanover’s businesses. “The business community is reliant on a quality workforce. We understand the development of the workforce cannot be obtained unless our students are motivated and cultivated to learn,” Matthews said. Hanover Schools proposed goals for 2013-2014 budget include: Managing the impact of prevailing budget fiscal trends. ✏ Form salary proposals that keep the system competi-

tive and reflect market adjustments. ✏ Promote instructional programming in a wide variety of areas. ✏ Implement and monitor plans that engage the 2012-2018 long-range goals. ✏ Develop and maintain a responsive, systematic approach to long-term building maintenance, construction, custodial services, etc. ✏ Identify the impact of emerging issues and mandates on the school budget. In other business, Eileen Malick, computer science teacher at Atlee High School, was named the winner of this year’s Governor Technology Award. She was cited in the category of Innovative Use of Technology in Education. She won for her Scratch and LEGO WeDo for High School program. Dr. Michael Thornton, assistant superintendent of business and operations, said the county is reaping real benefits from a conservation program begun in 2009. Thornton said the program was designed to address operational, facility and behavioral changes regarding conservation. The efforts had resulted in a savings of more than 10 million kilowatt hours and a cost savings of more than $2.7 million. He said the program would continue and search for savings throughout the system.

From the editor

Mayberry lifestyle is idyllic, attainable Recently made a pilgrimage back to my hometown for my mother’s 64th (yes, 64th) class reunion. With four classes — 1947-1950 — gathering, it was impressive to see the camaraderie and fellowship they shared after all these years. And let’s keep in mind they’re in their 80s. A brief slide presentation by the children of one of Mom’s classmates (Class of 1948) brought back some fond memories of the good old days in what once was a booming coal town. Those of you who have been in the Richmond area for many years recall the excitement, the hustle and bustle of a thriving downtown. Such was the case where I come from. Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons were filled with residents pouring into the downtown. While shopping was on the mind of many, there was a social atmosphere that the mall experience just does not offer. And that’s being said by someone who takes great pleasure in shopping at malls. But, downtown is/was different. But, make no mistake, malls and shopping plazas are high on my shopping list. Sadly, in my hometown the downtown has a cloud of doom hanging overhead with empty storefronts and run-down, dilapidated buildings. At least city leaders had the good sense to annex what became the mall in that little city in the hills and valleys of West Virginia. As I watched the photos of days gone by during Mom’s reunion, I thought about some of the communities that I have called home in my career. Hanover County — in my case, Mechanicsville — has a Mayberry flavor. And we all know about Mayberry, Andy Griffith’s fictitious hometown in his still popular TV show. My hometown had that Mayberry type ambiance. Neighbors knew neighbors and, more importantly, took care of one another in times of need. Another small town I called home briefly really mirrored Griffith’s Mayberry with one stop sign. A traffic light system was not installed until Walmart arrived. I have that feeling here when I look around at Mechanicsville. There’s a Norman Rockwell feel to the people and places. Bottom line is: It’s a good place to call home. Melody Kinser

Family extends thanks for love and support in loss Our families wish to express our sincere appreciation of the overwhelming love and support provided to us during the loss of Randy. It is almost impossible to put into words or actions how much it meant to us, carrying us still. The sheer number of family, friends and colleagues who desired to pay their respects to Randy will always be remembered. Even though we were unable to personally speak with everyone in attendance, we want you to know MUNDY how much it meant to each of us. We can’t say thank you enough for the prayers, visits, phone calls, food, flowers and cards provided to our families. Randy was blessed in many ways, as we saw and felt for ourselves. We thank you for giving us this gift, allowing us to embrace Randy with each conversation of how he touched your lives. Randy was and will be remembered as a friend to all. Thank you for sharing in his life, giving us many more fond memories to carry us through until we see him again. Many blessings, Martha Morris, mother, on behalf of the Randy Mundy family

Kaitlyn Cramer left a lasting impression in helping others Kaitlyn Cramer left this earth in August at an early age – 24 (Mechanicsville Local Sept. 27, 2012). However, in her short life, Kaitlyn changed lives for hundreds of people and countless others who never knew her but live “A Life Like Yours” because of her advocacy and example. Living in a 40-pound body with numerous physical disabilities and constant respiratory challenges, Kaitlyn was inspiring to all of us – with and without disabilities. As a student in Hanover County CRAMER Public Schools, in the voting booth, cheerleading or in the gym at Cool Spring Baptist Church, she lived life to the fullest.

In her last year, Kaitlyn and her family worked diligently to raise awareness about the unmet needs of Virginians on the Medicaid waivers waiting list. Virginia ranks 45th in the nation in providing funding for people with developmental disabilities to live with supports in the community rather than in costly, segregated institutions. Kaitlyn videoed her message to members of the Virginia General Assembly, seeking their support to fund more waivers for over 6,000 on the waiting list. When Judge John Gibney held a Fairness Hearing about the proposed Virginia and Department of Justice Settlement Agreement, Kaitlyn bravely attended the hearing in spite of health risks, accompanied by her mother, who tended to her extensive respiratory and physical needs with portable life sustaining equipment. Sitting in the front row, Kaitlyn listening intently, and demonstrated to others again that people with significant disabilities live in the community. My sister and I have a special tie to Kaitlyn that will affect our lives as long as we live. When Kaitlyn died, Kaitlyn’s Medicaid waiver slot was granted to Sharon, my 53-year-old sister who has a developmental disability. Kaitlyn and Sharon were partners in the Bell Choir where Sharon would help Kaitlyn hold up her bell. For years we have advocated with the Hanover County Board of Supervisors and the Virginia General Assembly about the need for more Medicaid waivers. Sharon was one of the 100+ children and adults on the Hanover County Medicaid waiver waiting list. Because of Kaitlyn’s death, Sharon has the waiver that will ensure that she will have the supports and services she needs to stay in the only community she knows and loves. It relieves a tremendous worry for me – no longer do I pray that when I leave this earth, Sharon will go with me. Sharon and I will continue stand up for the thousands of others who are on the waiting list. Kaitlyn will be in our see LETTERS, pg. 8

VACO executive director Jim Campbell presented the award.

Campbell said the sheriff developed a program that utilizes volunteers to assist with the public safety of the community, particularly in the traffic control area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;For that reason, the pro-

gram was selected to receive the 2012 VACo Achievement Award,â&#x20AC;? Campbell said. In a similar matter, the Hanover Emergency Communications team received the National Safety Councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s

Nancy Pelosi said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have to pass the bill to find out what is in it?â&#x20AC;? before cramming it down our throats! This is an example of the new transparency of government delivered by Democrats! President Obama said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you like your present health care plan, you can keep it.â&#x20AC;? Today, for me, that statement is just another lie told by the President. ObamaCare has turned into a war on every American that cherishes freedom and liberty. Our liberty and freedom are at stake. Government takeover of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health care industry will be one more nail in the coffin. Other devestating revelations about ObamaCare are just the beginning to come out. When will the other taxes, fees, regulations and death panels kick in? This one bill was designed to drive the USA to a single-payer socialist health care system. These systems have failed in every country in which they have been tried. Socialism must be defeated, and free markets must be restored. Your vote on Nov. 6 could pave the way to the repeal of ObamaCare and the restoration of some of your Liberty. Beverley Walker Mechanicsville

LETTERS Continued from pg. 8

Perot makes bold warning Former Presidential candidate and Reform Party founder Ross Perot broke his selfimposed public retirement to make a bold warning: America could be taken over. Perot was the last man to make a serious independent run for president. That was back in 1992. He withdrew from the race after he and his family had received serious threats against their lives. By the time he had gathered himself enough to re-enter the race, all of his momentum was lost and Republican hacks like Rush Limbaugh had a heyday making sport of him. But the things Perot tried to warn us about back then have all come to pass. The economic malaise that currently envelopes this country could have been averted had presidents and Congresses from both major parties over the past two decades had the sagacity and courage to heed Ross Perot and Ron Paul’s warnings. In fact, looking back, Bill Clinton looks like a fiscal saint compared to fiscal sinners G.W. Bush and Barack Obama. Former presidential contender and billionaire Ross Perot is worried that America is a sitting duck for an unnamed foreign invader. In an interview for his new autobiography, Perot said the nation’s weak economy has left us open for a hostile takeover. America is drowning in debt! Elmer Brown Mechanicsville

Absentee military voting declines No one has a greater claim to the democratic process than the men and women protecting it. As members of the military, they stand guard over our most basic rights — without any guarantee that they’ll get to exercise theirs. That’s the surprising conclusion of a new report by the Military Voter Protection Project (MVP), which recently rocked the presidential race

with news that absentee military voting is down as much as 70 percent from 2008 in crucial states like Ohio, Virginia and Florida. These are the lowest numbers we’ve seen in the last decade. To most people, the decline raises plenty of questions. Given all that’s happened in the last four years, our troops should be some of the most motivated voters in the country. After all, no one has borne the brunt of this administration’s radical agenda like the

U.S. military. Its service members have witnessed the slashing of their health care, the integration of open homosexuality, the slow death of religious liberty, violations of the federal marriage law, the suppression of early voting and now the threat of a half-trillion-dollar military cutback. So are America’s troops suddenly disinterested in the race for their next commander-in-chief — or is something fishy? Major Mansfield Mechanicsville

SNIPER

At 3:30 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 24, Roberson wrote, “Sniper suspects were arrested while sleeping in their vehicle at an interstate rest stop in Frederick County, Maryland – not public knowledge until later.” He was with his son at the bus stop between 7:15 and 7:30 a.m. Between 7:30 and 8:45 a.m., he visited “five additional schools – 96% attendance today.” Roberson wrote about an 8 p.m. final sniper task force press conference at which time the ballistics match was confirmed. Roberson, now president of Moseley Architects and a professor at UVa, said “leading a community through a period of fear is not something that you learn through your professional education. So, obviously, the way that you sustain yourself through this moment in time and to lead in the way that others expect you to lead is to delve deeply into your soul.” A week before the shooting, Roberson said a rector had made the comment to his parishioners that “there’s evil in this world and it is not possible

to predict all outcomes, but the way for us to emerge most effectively through challenging times is to rely upon our faith, family and friends.” He said that was a lesson he was reminded of “at a very timely moment. I think it’s a lesson for all of us to heed as we go through our daily lives.” While the diary provided an outlet of expression for him, it became a training tool for other school leaders. “I enjoy writing. I find writing to be liberating, but writing is therapeutic,” Roberson said. He didn’t start writing the diary until about a month after the sniper hit. He said he had compiled “lots of data, lots of records and I pulled it together.” “By putting it into a timeline — day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute — it’s also very revealing into the life of a school leader daily. Nothing I wrote should be considered more remarkable than the life of any school leader.” “What might be different,” Roberson continued, “is in the way that it’s been captured.”

Since 1985

By Mark Bowes Richmond Times-Dispatch A Hanover County man was convicted on Tuesday, Oct. 9, of killing his estranged wife and wounding her then-boyfriend with an assault rifle after they tried to escape him by hiding in a bedroom closet. Ryan Markham, 33, pleaded guilty to firstdegree murder, aggravated malicious wounding and two felony firearm counts in the June 2 slaying of Sabrina Markham and the wounding of Blake Minter, who was able to return fire with a pistol, wounding the defendant. Judge J. Overton Harris accepted Markham’s pleas and set sentencing for Feb. 26. He faces up to two life terms plus six years on all four counts. Hanover Chief Deputy Commonwealth’s Attorney Shari Skipper provided this summary of facts: On the afternoon of June 2, Markham went to a local Applebee’s restaurant for lunch and struck up a conversation with a bartender. At one point, Markham told the bartender to be sure to watch television news that night, because “there was going to be a massacre” reported. Markham then drove to his parents’ house, where he retrieved an SKS assault-style rifle before driving to his estranged wife’s Mechanicsville home in the 8200 block of Candleberry Drive. Sabrina Markham saw him on the front porch with the rifle and called 911 to report that he was armed. Sabrina Markham and her boyfriend then fled upstairs and hid in a closet in the master bedroom while still on the phone with a 911 communications operator. Markham then entered the house through an unlocked rear door, went upstairs and found the couple in the closet.

“On the 911 tape, you could hear Blake Minter trying to plead with Ryan Markham, asking him to think about his kids, telling him that you don’t want to do this,” Skipper said. Markham delivered a profanity-laced RYAN MARKHAM response that they were “going to die tonight.” He then opened fire, killing Sabrina Markham and wounding Minter. After the first shots were fired, Minter was able to pull a pistol from his pocket and return fire, striking Markham multiple times in the chest. Markham then fled downstairs, where he collapsed. Responding officers found Markham on the floor inside the home. Skipper said defense attorney John Rockecharlie agreed with the prosecution’s summary of evidence, except for the bartender’s statement to police. Rockecharlie told the court that Markham would have denied making the statement had the case gone to trial. Skipper said the Markhams had been separated since 2009. They had two sons, ages 7 and 3. In March, they had sworn out misdemeanor domestic-assault warrants against each other in connection with an incident on March 18, and a three-day protective order was issued against Sabrina Markham. On May 31, two days before the killing, the misdemeanor assault charges against both Sabrina Markham and Ryan Markham were withdrawn and a protective order was issued against Ryan Markham forbidding him from coming into contact with Sabrina for two years. They had planned to divorce this year.

Hanover pair charged in King William High oďŹ&#x20AC;ering string of robberies in city free counseling for scholarships By Mark Bowes and Reed Williamst Richmond Times-Dispatch A smartphone taken from a victim in a string of night robberies on Monday, Oct. 8, and attempted robberies in downtown Richmond and near Virginia Commonwealth University was linked by police to the Hanover County home of one of the suspects, according to authorities and court papers. An affidavit used to obtain a warrant to search a home in the 6200 block of Bonniefield Court in Mechanicsville states that the first victim was robbed of an iPhone and that he had a GPS tracking device on the phone through his service provider. The victim provided a detective with the phoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s GPS position, which was traced to the Bonniefield Court address. Police then determined through a check of Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles records that Joshua L. Bryan, 19, lived there, the affidavit said. Richmond police on Tuesday, Oct. 9, arrested Bryan and another Hanover man, James V. Banks, also 19, on charges related to a Monday evening armed robbery and attempted robbery in the 500 block of East Grace Street. Bryan and Banks were charged with robbery, attempted robbery and related firearm charges in the incident and taken to the Richmond City Jail, authorities said. According to charging documents, the two men are accused of robbing one man of money and a cell phone and of trying to rob another man of money and a phone. Police said additional charges were pending, but the men had not been charged in the other holdups, which occurred over roughly an hour. In addition to the robbery and attempted robbery on Grace Street, Bryan and Banks are

suspects in three of the other robbery-related crimes, according to a source familiar with the investigation. Two of those incidents occurred in the area of South Laurel and West Cary streets, and the other occurred in the 900 block of West Franklin Street, the source said. Authorities also have said an attempted robbery occurred during the same period at West Grace and North Foushee streets, and that a firearm was brandished at North First and East Grace streets. The affidavit, filed in Hanover Circuit Court, said police are investigating a black male who robbed â&#x20AC;&#x153;five separate individualsâ&#x20AC;? within an hour Monday in the city with an older-style, longbarrel pistol. The affidavit does not list the five robbery locations. All of the victims provided the same description of the robber: a black male in his 20s, 5 feet 10 inches tall with a light-brown complexion and wearing a gray sweat shirt and dark-colored pants with a printed pattern, the affidavit said. One of the victims saw the suspect in the front passenger seat of a blue Dodge Durango, along with an unknown male with light skin in the front driverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s seat, according to the affidavit. Banks is black and Bryan is white, according to arrest records. During a Tuesday, Oct. 9, search of the Bonniefield Court residence, investigators recovered several weapons, narcotics and drug paraphernalia. The weapons include a black handgun with a wooden grip, a pellet gun, a Remington 12-gauge shotgun, a rifle and a green and black butterfly knife. Police also seized ammunition, including .22-caliber bullets, buckshot and shotgun shells, according to an inventory of items.

Pet First Aid class to be oďŹ&#x20AC;ered on Oct. 25 Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com A&J Training Solutions, in association with the Ashcake Volunteer Rescue Squad, will instruct a class for Pet First Aid from 6:30 to 9 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 25. Pet First Aid is the immediate care given to an injured or suddenly ill pet as temporary assistance until competent vet-

erinary care is available. Properly applied first aid can save your petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life, reduce recovery time and be the difference between temporary disability and lifelong disability. This program concentrates on basic first aid care. It is not intended to replace veterinary care, but rather to instruct the pet owner on how to save a petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s life during an emergency or to

minimize a petâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trauma after injury. Certification cards in Pet First Aid will be issued to all students who are successful in completing the requirements. The cost for the class is $30 per student. To obtain a seat in the class, send an e-mail to classes@trainingbyaj.com, or call 804-7464906.

for the college in its times of greatest need. Lindgren said the Ashland campus is largely open to the public, including arts and entertainment activities, and R-MC hosts several local organizations at monthly meetings or seminars on the campus. The college has operated for 183 years in Hanover County. More than 1,300 students attend the Hanover campus, 72 percent from Virginia, and seven percent from Hanover County. R-MC is the oldest Methodist college in the United States, according to Lindgren. The college also is addressing a shrinking job market for its graduates. Through its Edge program, more than 55 percent of recent graduates are working in their fields, less than three months after graduation. The school sports a new baseball field, tennis courts, a new addition to the library and a revamped football field complete with new turf and lights. Nine projects and three innovations are the result of the latest expansion that will allow the school to attract more students with a goal of 1,500 enrollment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I appreciate the relationship we have with this county. I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a model relationship for colleges and universities across the nation,â&#x20AC;? Lindgren said. The Historic Courthouse Area Advisory Committee was established in 2002 to study badly needed repairs to the area, and the group comprised an historic structures report completed in 2004. The preliminary report outlined several projects regarding the courthouse area. The initial stages included upgrades to heating and air conditioning equipment in the old courthouse and a new ceiling was installed. In 2005, the committee approved sidewalk improvements and installed traffic

Twenty-three teams recently took part in the ReeseStrong Golf Classic by “Taking a swing at childhood cancer.” The tournament, sponsored by Marty’s Grill and Riverbound Café, was held on Monday, Oct. 1, at Brookwoods Golf Course in New Kent to benefit the ReeseStrong Foundation, which is dedicated to helping families stay strong in the battle against childhood cancer. First place went to Team SCI, Gary McDowell, left, Josh Rahman, Hunter Bendall and Scott Wright. The winners get their names on a one of a kind gold ribbon trophy displayed at Marty’s Grill year-round. The gold ribbon is the symbol of childhood cancer, being able to display it at Marty’s enables the organization to raise awareness of this disease. Foundation member Kristin Mudd extended thanks “to all the hole sponsors and to the participants who came out for a day of golf. We raised $10,745, for local families of children with cancer.” She also offered special thanks to Michael Cohan who organized the ReeseStrong Golf Classic and recruited teams for this event.

Deputy Commissioner of Revenue gets prestigious association honor Sheila M. Durrett, Deputy Commissioner of Revenue for Hanover County, has received a prestigious award from the Commissioners of the Revenue Association of Virginia. A Hanover County native and resident, Durrett is the association’s 2012 recipient of the Margaret Ann Anderson Award. This award is given to the top deputy dommissioner in the state. Durrett’s years in public service go back to 1983. When she was a senior at Patrick Henry High School, she was hired as a legal secretary for longtime Treasurer George Weems DURRETT in his Ashland office. From there, she was hired by Commissioner of the Revenue Lois Chenault in 1984 as a deputy in the real estate division. After getting married, Durrett went to work in the private sector for several years as a legal assistant before returning to the Commissioner of Revenue’s office in 2006. Earlier this year, she completed the courses

necessary for the designation as a Master Deputy Commissioner. In July, Durrett was promoted to Deputy Commissioner of Revenue. She was a Customer Service Agent-Senior in the Personal Property Division. Durrett has seen many changes during her years of service. “We have a lot more citizens than we had back in the early 1980s,” she said. “Our technology has also improved so much – it used to be that everything was done by hand and it took a lot of time.” “The Commissioner has done a good job in making sure we have the tools we need to do a good job,” she said. “No one likes paying taxes, but we at least want you to know that your tax bill is accurate and that you are paying the right amount.” Commissioner of the Revenue Scott Harris nominated Durrett for the Margaret Ann Anderson Award. “Sheila has worked faithfully and tirelessly to promote a level of professionalism and commitment to our organization,” Harris said. see REVENUE, pg. 28

Student leaders needed to plan 2013 GYSD Hanover will celebrate its 6th Annual Global Youth Service Day on April 26-28, 2013. Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) is the largest service event in the world, mobilizing millions of youth volunteers to lead and participate in service projects. While GYSD takes place over one service packed weekend in April, it takes several months to plan. Youth volunteers are needed to serve on the GYSD Youth Leadership Corps and the GYSD Youth Planning Coalition. The GYSD Youth Leadership Corps is made up of Hanover County students ages 13 to 22 that would like to lead their own GYSD project by developing project planning, marketing and communication skills during a one-day highly interactive workshop on Dec. 1 at the Mechanicsville Library. Pre-registration is required and is limited to 15 participants. Corps members will receive ongoing mentorship from other area youth who have successfully led service projects and will leave the

workshop with a concrete plan for action. The deadline to apply for the Youth Leadership Corps is Thursday, Nov. 1, 2012. GYSD Youth Planning Coalition members are students ages 10 to 22 that would like to plan the GYSD Kickoff Party, which will be held in March. Coalition members will recruit other youth, area businesses and local nonprofits to get involved in GYSD, create and distribute marketing materials, learn about service from special guest speakers and participate in meaningful service projects during meetings while learning basic project planning skills. The coalition meets one time per month from January through March. To express interest in either the GYSD Youth Leadership Corps or the GYSD Youth Planning Coalition, go to www.hanovervolunteers.org to download the application form. The deadline to apply for the Youth Planning Coalition is Friday, Dec. 14, 2012. Information submitted by Tom Harris, Hanover County public information officer.

Sheila has become the face of our Career Development Plan registration process,” he said. Durrett said she was “shocked” to receive the award. “I literally thought I was going to faint,” she said with a laugh. “When they started reading off the background of the person who won the award, and they said they started in 1983, I thought, ‘wow, me too.’

Then they said something else and it was the same thing and about the third time, I thought, ‘I think it’s me!’” She said she enjoys public service. “I love it,” she said. “I’m a little extroverted,” she said, laughing again. “I enjoy meeting people and helping solve their problems.” The Commissioners of the

Revenue Association of Virginia was formed in 1937 to promote a uniformity and cohesion in regards to the challenges of assessment of taxes and the administration of state and local revenue laws.

Best oﬀenses meet — Varina surges to win By Dave Lawrence for The Mechanicsville Local Two of the best offenses in the Central Region, Varina and Atlee, met on the Raiders’ home field Friday night, and they did what great offenses do – rack up yardage and points. The Blue Devils and Raiders combined for 976 yards total offense and 77 points. Unfortunately for Atlee fans, Varina had the edge in both,

The Blue Devils (5-1, 3-0 Capital) amassed 663 yards total offense, with the tallies almost evenly split between the first and second halves. But the Raiders, who earned 201 yards in a first half that ended with them trailing by just 7 points, 21-14, struggled in the face of a resurgent Varina juggernaut in the second half, only earning 112 yards in that span. “The first half, I thought [we] did extremely well. We

Varina coach Stu Brown said the second-half difference had to do with more than intensity. “Once we got them in at half-time, we made adjustments,” Brown said. “We started running more off-tackle. [Atlee defensive coordinator Richard McFee] was stunting in those A-gaps and stopping us, so we started running more off-tackle and it worked for us.” Varina quarterback Brandon Wood was tough to contain in

attempts for another 111 yards, and three rushing touchdowns. He opened and closed the first offensive series of the game with a 60-yard scoring run, and picked up additional scores in the third quarter on runs of 3 and 64 yards, respectively. Herb Anderson finished with nine carries for 113 yards and two touchdowns. P.T. Dixon gained 88 yards on three carries – two of those for touchdowns.

We’ve got good athletes who can hopefully cover the pass one-on-one.” Varina jumped out to an early – and seemingly insurmountable – lead in the first quarter. After Wood’s opening touchdown just 24 seconds into the game, the Blue Devils drove 99 yards and scored on a 40yard touchdown run by Dixon with 6:23 left in the first quarter, then drove 80 yards and scored on a 42-yard run by Dixon with 2:17 left. The Raiders gained some traction after Varina’s third touchdown, driving 85 yards to score on a 5-yard run by Dandridge. One brief Varina drive later, they drove 78-yardsand scored on a 9-yard run by

Dandridge. In the second half, however, Atlee could find no weakness in the Blue Devils’ defense. Varina’s offense pressed on, scoring five unanswered touchdowns in the second half. Johnson was upbeat despite the loss. “Varina’s a good ball club, period,” Johnson said. “We ran into a team that’s pretty good. Varina, they’re one of the best teams in the state.”

Blue Devils’ quarterback Brandon Wood calls his own number but is met by most of the Atlee Raiders’ defense at the line for a loss.

Former county gridiron greats to end JMU career By Dave Lawrence for The Mechanicsville Local Several former Hanover County football stars will make their final gridiron appearances in the area when James Madison comes to Robins Saturday to play against Colonial Athletic Association rival Richmond. Kickoff Saturday is at 3:30 p.m. Senior Adrian Cavanaugh and redshirt senior Ryan Smith, both standouts at Patrick Henry, are in their final season as Dukes. Former Hanover High School quarterback Josh Wells, a redshirt junior, has another year of eligibility left, but it is doubtful that James Madison will return to Richmond next year.

All three are looking forward to playing in the Richmond area one more time. “I’m definitely looking forward to playing one more game at home, especially in my senior year – my last opportunity in college,” Cavanaugh said. “It’s very exciting.” The Dukes (5-1, 3-0 CAA) have come off two close victories at home – a 13-10 victory over Towson two weeks ago and a 27-26 double-overtime win over William and Mary last Saturday. The Spiders are rebounding from a 3-8 season last year. Richmond, despite a 44-40 loss to New Hampshire last week, has already bested last-season’s record. The Spiders

are now 4-3, 2-2. Prior to this season, Cavanaugh, a justice studies major, had played in 24 games his first three seasons as a Duke and in all six games so far this season. He came from a high school career in which he earned all-state honors as a linebacker to a career at a college where talent was abundant. “I really had to fight to get on the field. I felt like I surrounded myself with fantastic players and coaches,” Cavanaugh said. “A lot of the guys from the smaller schools like where I came from and where the guys on my team came from, they were the best athletes on their [high school] team, some in their county. So,

coming into college, it is definitely a big adjustment.” Wells faced a different adjustment when he came to James Madison. The former Hawk knew he was not likely going to take any snaps, but he thought he would be playing tight end for the Dukes. He was wrong. He ended up at offensive tackle. “I had no idea that I was going to be a lineman,” Wells said. “I just really wanted to get on the field. … We lost our left tackle, Theo Sherman. He went into the NFL. We needed a left tackle, so [the coaches said] ‘If you want to play, to get on the field, if you gain a little weight and get a lot stronger, the job

is there.” Wells found the transition easier than he expected. “It’s a one-on-one competition. I’ve always been a competitive person,” he said. “In high school, I was a physical runner – I wasn’t a finesse kind of guy – so that part of it came easy. I think being a quarterback really helped me understand blitzes and understand coverages.” For Smith a free safety and punt returner, the road to Harrisonburg was somewhat crooked. He initially committed to Marshall and spent a season there before deciding that James Madison was a better fit. “Marshall was kind of a lastminute decision. Time was run-

ning out my senior year,” Smith said. “When I got there, football was going great. … After awhile, it just wasn’t for me. It was too far away. I just wasn’t happy at all.” Cavanaugh and Smith are planning for life after football as soon as they finish their JMU careers. Smith has already graduated, and Cavanaugh will graduate in December. Wells, however, holds out hope for the NFL and will be attending camps to get teams’ attention over the next year. For now, though, all three have more immediate concerns on their mind – for example, Smith hopes to have a lot of familiar faces at Robins Stadium Saturday.

Turnover-laden game sends Yellow Jackets home with loss Contributed Reports news@mechlocal.com Washington and Lee University rushers amassed 473 yards and took advantage of three key Randolph-Macon College turnovers on Saturday in Lexington as the Generals handed the Yellow Jackets their first Old Dominion Athletic Conference loss this season with a 49-14 result. Washington and Lee (5-1, 30 ODAC) scored on the fourth play of the game to take a 7-0 lead, then recovered an R-MC fumble on the ensuing kickoff. The Generals capitalized three plays later to take a 14-0 advantage just 2:10 in to the game. The Yellow Jackets (4-2, 2-1) settled down, stringing together a nine-play, 72-yard drive capped by an 8-yard touchdown pass from Zac Naccarato to Vance Hendren that cut Washington and Lee’s lead to just points. After holding the Generals without a first-down on its next

possession, Randolph-Macon had a chance to further cut Washington and Lee’s lead, but failed to make good on a 38-yard field attempt. On the next play, the Generals’ Sasha Vandalov rushed 68 yards to the Yellow Jackets’ 11. Two plays later, Nick Lombardo scored on a 7-yard run to extend Washington and Lee’s lead to 21-7. Randolph-Macon responded with a drive to the Generals’ 16-yard line, but the advance ended in an interception of a Naccarato pass. Washington and Lee took just three plays to make the Yellow Jackets pay, scoring on a 47-yard run by Luke Heinsohn to go up 28-7 with 11:29 left in the second quarter. The Yellow Jackets scored their final points on the next drive when Naccarato hooked up with Luke Sellers on a 9-yard scoring pass to make it 28-14 with 3:08 left in the first half. Washington and Lee scored two unanswered touchdowns in the third quarter on 16- and

86-yard runs by Heinsohn and Vandalov, respectively, and added another touchdown in the fourth quarter on 7-yard run by Lombardo. Vandalov led the Generals with six carries for 199 yards and two touchdowns. Heinsohn finished with 125 yards on 14 carries and three touchdowns. Naccarato completed 15 of 25 passes for 126 yards an with two touchdowns and two interceptions. Tom Solak had seven tackles for R-MC on defense, while David Fetter and Danny Hunt File photo/Charlie Leffler each had five stops. Randolph-Macon College suffered its first loss in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference on Randolph-Macon will cele- Saturday, falling 49-14 to Washington and Lee University.

The Hanover County Department of Social Services began accepting applications for the Fuel Assistance Program on Tuesday, Oct. 9. The application deadline is Nov. 9. Fuel Assistance is a temporary program that helps eligible households with the costs of heating their homes. The amount that is received will not necessarily cover all of the winter heating costs but will be a supplement. Benefits are based on the availability of funds and the number of applications received within the state. In order to be eligible for fuel or utility assistance, your household’s income must be less than the maximum allowed for the number of people in the home, and you must be responsible for paying the heating bill.

Chris Bonelli joins Ambassador Program at Tech Chris Bonelli of Mechanicsville has joined the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences Ambassador Program. Students are selected to join the team each spring through a competitive application process. Bonelli, a junior majoring in communication in the College of Liberal Arts and Human Sciences, volunteers with a faculty member for a minimum of two hours a week and volunteers for other various events hosted by the college. Ambassadors work closely with faculty, staff, parents and alumni to expand the college’s outreach. They gain invaluable experience through opportunities to be leaders, networking and interacting with members of the college. The ambassador program was formed in 1993 and has been providing more than 3,000 volunteer hours to the college and the college departments each year.

Applications will be processed as soon as possible but no later than mid-December. Funds are sent directly to the vendor beginning the first week in January. Hanover’s share of this statewide allocation is limited. Last fall, the Hanover Department of Social Services assisted 968 customers with their bills through the Fuel Assistance program. The total amount of fuel assistance provided was $246,472.36. Applications for Fuel Assistance are available at the Hanover County Department of Social Services, 12304 Washington Highway, Ashland VA 23005. You can also call a Customer Service Agent at 3654100 and an application will be mailed to you. A face-to-face interview is not required. You can find the link to download

an application by visiting http:// www.dss.virginia.gov/benefit/ ea/fuel/forms.cgi The Hanover Department of Social Services also offers a Crisis Assistance program. In order to receive Crisis Assistance, a heating emergency must exist. A “heating emergency” could include lack of heat, imminent cut-off of utilities and inoperable or unsafe heating equipment. Crisis Assistance can include: ❍ Payment of utility security deposit. ❍ Purchase of portable space heater. ❍ Purchase of primary home heating utility bill. ❍ Payment for emergency shelter. ❍ Repair of heating equipment, and/or purchase of supplemental heating equipment

or maintenance. Crisis Assistance applications for repairs will be accepted Nov. 1, 2012, through March 15, 2013, for repairs. Crisis Assistance applications for fuel/utility costs will be accepted from Jan. 2, 2013. through March 15, 2013. Last fall and winter, the Hanover Department of Social Services assisted 177 customers with their heating emergencies through the Crisis Assistance program. The total amount of crisis assistance provided was $38,484.88. For more information about the Fuel Assistance or Crisis Assistance programs, contact the Hanover Department of Social Services at 804-365-4100.
