Supervisors opt for partial proffer return By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Sometimes, the most difficult decisions come down to two choices. That’s the position members of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors found
themselves in as they prepared to consider plans for reviving lost cash proffer funds for road construction in the county. After eliminating the county’s cash proffer policy in November, the supervisors intended to replace those funds
with a $10 vehicle fee. But some board members did not support that proposal, and supervisors withdrew a public advertisement announcing a public hearing on the proposed fee. Last month, Public Works director Michael Flagg and Planning director
David Maloney proposed the Business Wednesday by a 4-3 margin. and Residential Development Road For developments with less than 50 Improvements Transportation Policy lots, Flagg suggested a baseline starting that restored cash proffers on some figure of around $2,300. new residential development in the Those were the two options precounty. see PROFFER, pg. 17 Supervisors approved that plan last

Department heads to supervisors on budgets: needs continue to increase By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Members of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors listened patiently as several department heads commented on their proposed budgets for Fiscal Year 2014 at last Wednesday’s regular meeting. There was a general theme as Col. David R. Hines, sheriff; Dr. Jamelle Wilson, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools; Janet Lawson, director of Human Resources; Commonwealth’s Attorney Trip Chalkley; and Steven Herzog,
Most said the mostly level allotted amounts were adequate, but all identified future challenges for their departments that will require increased revenues. Hines said he is appreciative of the three restored positions in his department, but cited growing challenges that threaten levels of service citizens have come to expect from the office. COL.

“Last year we stated that current funding levels are not sustainable,” Hines said. “There is a modest increase in our proposed 2014 operational budget and I have to tell you that is a much-needed first step.” The sheriff said long-range plans would require additional funding for technology, training and personnel. Hanover’s crime rate is recognized as the lowest in the Greater Richmond Metro region. He said that’s attributable to a dedicated staff, a

Sheriff ’s Office recognized for exceeding standards By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local For the fourth consecutive year, the Hanover Sheriff ’s Office has received the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agency’s highest certification. The agency satisfied 100 percent of the agency’s accreditation list for procedures and practices, and received CALEA deputy director Craig Hartley’s highest words of praise at a recent meeting of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors. Hartley presented the Sheriff ’s Office with a certificate noting its adherence to all of the agency’s guidelines, but said the award goes deeper. “There’s a much more important meaning associated with this,” Hartley said. “It represents this agency’s desire to be the best organization it can possibly be and provide the best services to the communities that they serve.” According to Hartley, the certification also reflects on a department that is well managed and efficiently run. “It represents an ongoing dedication to

ensuring the agency’s resources are appropriately developed and effectively deployed and constantly managed, all in the name of a safer Hanover County,” Hartley said. In an August survey conducted by the CALEA, the office met or exceeded all of the agency’s mandatory requirements. Hartley also noted a solid relationship between the office and the community it serves. “There was an overwhelming community support for the organization,” he said, noting the agency’s decision to fully accredit was unanimous. Col. David R. Hines, sheriff, accepted the award for his office, but stressed the real recipients are the employees and citizens of Hanover County. “You’re all part of this team,” Hines said, addressing members of the audience. “Hanover County is fortunate. We have some great people who work here, and we also have great people who serve.” Hines said the Sheriff ’s Office is part of a community team, and all citizens should celsee SHERIFF’S, pg. 4

easy task, but preliminary numbers indicate the reductions in federal money could affect delivery of services at some county school programs. The federal sequestration of funds means less money for projects like Head Start, Title I and other programs, many designed to assist lower income students in the county.
The 2013 impact is largely felt in the Head Start area, a program that serves 123 Hanover students and has a waiting list. Director of Finance Terry Stone said her department based future reduction assumptions on a state recommended figure of about 5.1 percent less in federal contributions. Localities could make up

Dedicated group sets sights on tourism boost
| Reader Views
Thanks to the Hanover Association of Businesses and Chamber of Commerce, we stand to benefit greatly due to the commitment of some business and civic leaders. These devoted folks are meeting on a regular basis to pursue our county’s tourism possibilities. And, yes, the potential is great. Hanover Tourism Supporters has become an independent entity, according to information submitted by the group. Dave Fuller, who is well known for his role in the Mechanicsville Christmas Parade, and Del. Chris Peace, R-97, recently provided an update on the group’s progress and the positives of boosting tourism. According to Peace, every dollar invested in tourism marketing generates $5 in state and local tax revenue. “I think the potential is right now,” Peace said, “and we should seize the opportunity to position Hanover in a bigger picture. We have a lot to offer people.” Acknowledging that family and friends is the main reason people come to the area, Fuller said the question then becomes: “What do you do with family and friends when they show up?” This group — and we can’t praise the members enough — is working to take advantage of what Hanover County offers. A partnership with the Richmond Metropolitan Convention and Visitors Bureau, which promotes tourism throughout the region, has been forged. With that alliance comes short videos targeted to different audiences and other marketing tools. Fuller said Hanover County’s presence has been increased in that material. To show what an impact the partnership has made, Fuller said, “We have moved now into second place with every hit that comes into the website for the Richmond Convention and Visitors Bureau for Hanover County.” The web address is http://www.visitrichmondva.com/?gclid=CL2y8Ne9_ LUCFcZFMgoddjIA3g. It’s apparent we can only expect bigger and better financial opportunities with the tourism dollars this group will help bring into our county. Melody Kinser

Sheriff responds to letter, says statement incorrect
HCBOS vice chair: sheriff never called for tax increase
(Editor’s note: The following is in response to a letter to the editor from Chris Pace that appeared in the March 13, 2013, edition of The Mechanicsville Local. In addition to The Local receiving a copy, the letter also was sent to Hanover County Attorney Sterling Rives.) Mr. Chris Pace Mechanicsville Friends of Hanover Schools Dear Mr. Pace, I read with interest your recent letter published in the March 13, 2013, edition of The Mechanicsville Local. In your letter, you stated, “Col. David R. Hines, . . . specifically called for tax increases to help all county government programs.” This statement, which you attributed to me, is incorrect, as I never said it. I expect that you will correct this error with a retraction to The Mechanicsville Local to be printed in their next edition. I further would expect you to correct same with any other publications to which you may have elected to send this inaccurate information. Sincerely, Colonel David R. Hines Sheriff
(Editor’s note: The following was addressed to Col. David R. Hines, Hanover County sheriff.) Dear Col. Hines, I appreciate your telephone call this past Tuesday (March 12, 2013). I am aware that false information attributed to you was furnished to media outlets. Let me be clear, I know that during my town hall meeting you never called for a tax increase. While I will not question the motives of the individual who wrote this, I do not believe it was done in error or out of any misunderstanding. I continue to be disappointed in these deliberate tactics to provide erroneous information. Please send my warmest regards to the men and women of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office. Sincerely, Sean M. Davis Vice chairman Hanover County Board of Supervisors
Letter writer: comments confused on revenue, tax hike
Unfettered government growth will be the ruin of America, honest thinkers cannot doubt that. While Democrats turn to government as the solution to all problems, what they don’t understand is that they are simply adding a “middle man” who takes a massive cut out of American production to feed itself before passing on the change to the intended recipient. The only thing government does with great efficiency is spend money. When the government intercedes in transactions
I have been advised by Col. David R. Hines, sheriff, that my letter to the editor in the March 13 Mechanicsville Local and Herald-Progress does not accurately reflect his comments at Sean Davis’ town hall meeting. Sheriff Hines does not favor a tax increase at this time. I confused his comments about needing revenue with his desire for a tax increase, and for that I apologize. Chris Dovi of Richmond Magazine reported on Mr. Davis’ town hall meeting, and his account of what our good sheriff said follows: “I’ve got to have more money,” he (Hines) told the packed elementary cafeteria, saying that while his department’s response times remained largely unchanged, a budget that’s fallen by a third in recent years will damage effectiveness eventually. “We’re going to make it work, but it’s not sustainable . . . I don’t want a tax increase, but I don’t know how we’re going to do it.” Here is a link to the full article:http://www.richmondmagazine.com/?articleID=47757b5383ed7d4d25f5b442f3502285 Chris Pace Friends of Hanover Schools Mechanicsville

Salaries less than neighbors I am responding to the letter from Tom Chorinos about how Hanover County teachers are “overpaid.” Comparing average salaries is comparing apples to oranges. You need to compare apples to apples: the teacher salary scales based on years of experience by which all teachers’ salaries are determined. Salaries are not negotiated like in the private sector. The fact is, Hanover teachers’ salaries are less than both Henrico and Richmond. A teacher with a bachelor’s degree in Hanover ranges from $42,042 to $66,125; Henrico is $41,727 to $74,980; Richmond is $43,059 to $70,480. When I changed from Henrico to Hanover 15 years ago, I took a significant pay cut. Teachers in Hanover at the top end of the scale are making over $8,800 less than what they would make in Henrico. Hanover may have a slightly higher starting salary (a whopping $315), but it doesn’t take long before we are making less than our counterparts in Henrico. The average teacher salaries reported are probably based on
Burgeoning police state What is it going to take for pastors and churches to wake up and realize that America is in the throes of a burgeoning police state? Ladies and gentlemen, the long-standing veneration for law and order does not include blind submission to governmental abuse of power. Yet, it seems that very few Christian conservatives are even paying attention to what is happening before their very eyes. For example, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has purchased more than 2 billion rounds of hollow-point ammunition (enough to wage a 30-year war); the DHS has purchased over 7,000 AR-15s. see LETTERS, pg. 15

actual payroll, which doesn’t mean Hanover teachers are paid more. Rather, we have more teachers with more years experience bringing our average up. The size of the county should have no bearing on teacher pay — we are all doing the same jobs with about the same number of students and levels of responsibility. Leigh Folds Mechanicsville

You bet — Rotary’s Casino Night successful By Jodi Deal jdeal@mechlocal.com ith food, drink, games and tiptop outfits, the Mechanicsville Rotary Club turns out in style and raises money for a worthwhile cause when members host Casino Night. Held on Saturday, March 9, at the Acca Temple in Richmond, women in formal dresses and men in suaits and tuxedos rolled dice, placed bets on fake horses, played cards and made bids on major prizes, including round-trip airline tickets and a week in the Caribbean. The glitz, glamour and heavy hors d’oeuvres are just a bonus for Rotary president Kim Wills, who said the real point of Casino Night is the opportunity to help a worthy organization in a big way. Over the past 14 years, the event has raised more than $300,000. Previous Rotary-sponsored

casino nights have benefited multiple nonprofits. Now, the club directs its funding from the event to Hanover Safe Place, an organization that aims to help free Hanover citizens from domestic violence and sexual assault. While the tally isn’t finished on this year’s Casino Night, last year’s event raised $28,000 for
the organization. “We’re glad to have the opportunity to put on an event that lets us dress up, have fun, and support a good cause,” Wills said. “This is such an important organization.” The financial help is huge for Hanover Safe Place, executive director Sheree Hedrick said. Casino Night proceeds

make up 10 percent of the organization’s annual budget. “It’s also a wonderful opportunity for us to connect with our community and let people know what we do,” Hedrick said. She also said that some citizens might be surprised to learn that her organization directly serves more than 1,500
people per year and operates a 12-bed shelter along with a 24hour hotline. Through school and civic club speaking engagements, Hanover Safe Place representatives interact with some 30,000 people per year to educate about sexual assault and domestic violence. More than 300 people

The DHS calls them Personal Defense Weapons (PDW). These are the same semiautomatic rifles with high capacity magazines that when you and I buy them are called “assault rifles.” Dear Christian friend, how can you stay in a church where the pastor will not take a stand for your liberties? How can you give such a church your tithes and offerings? Do you not realize that any pastor and church that refuses to fight and protect your liberties is helping to put the shackles of tyranny and oppression around the necks of your families? Regardless of how sound you believe your pastor to be doctrinally, or how educated he is, or how much Hebrew and Greek he knows, or how warm and caring he is, or how much you personally like him, if he is not willing to take a public stand for your liberties, he is a willing accomplice to the demise of our republic. Christian, please wake up! Your liberties are being systematically expunged. While you are waving your hands and praising Jesus and are fixated on your pastor and church staying doctrinally pure, the sacred principles that protect your right to freely worship, and speak, and defend your

sented to the panel at last week’s regular meeting, and county administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. said it was time to make a choice. “I think it’s time to land this project if at all possible,” Harris said. South Anna supervisor Wayne Hazzard offered a third option, a 10-cent increase in the county’s personal property tax. Sean Davis, Henry District representative, moved for approval of the new proffer plan that also was approved by the Community Development Committee last month. “I believe common ground has been found. While neither proposal is ideal for everyone, I believe balance has been found,” Davis said before mov-

supportive community and a volunteer component that accounted for more than 9,000 hours of service last year. “Their commitment and dedication enhances the Sheriff ’s Office in such a way that allows us to provide the level of service our citizens have become accustomed to,” Hines said. The sheriff said the restored three positions will help, but those positions were approved in 2008 and brings staffing levels up to four-year-old levels. Hines said his department needs four court service officers and six deputies at a cost of about $1 million. That would increase the current $21.9 million proposed for the Sheriff ’s Office in the county administrator’s budget. The sheriff ’s five-year plan includes the hiring of 24 deputies, eight investigators and two school resource officers. Wilson presented a $188.7 million budget approved by the School Board last month,
going to be liked by the general public.” Wade said citizens are asking aloud “Why should I have to pay a tax so the developer doesn’t have to pay a proffer?” Wade said he would support the reduced proffer system. The veteran Cold Harbor representative said he also could support a referendum allowing citizens to decide whether a countywide meals tax could provide additional revenue. “Either one of these proposals is a new tax,” board chairman Canova Peterson said, referring to the vehicle tax or the presented proffer plan. “There’s no way around that. We’re talking a tax, one way or the other.” Beaverdam’s Audrey “Bucky” Stanley voiced hesitation when the board originally approved elimination of the cash proffer system, and suggested a 50 per-
cent reduction when the initial discussions took place. “I think it’s a fair fee,” Stanley said, referring to the new numbers. “ More importantly, approval of the new policy will allow developers to move forward with clear guidelines in place. “We have developers and builders who want to move forward,” Stanley said. “Property owners, developers, builders, realtors and the general public need to know what’s going on so they can make plans for the future.” Ed Via, Ashland District, said he didn’t like the county picking winners and losers through its taxation policy. “We’re all in this together,” he said. “I think it would be a more fair situation for everybody in the county to bear the brunt of the times we are in, and not
explaining how the department had balanced this year’s proposal. She said the balance was achieved through teacher reductions, increased charges for out of county students, a new eightblock schedule in high schools and other adjustments. She said monies from the bus replacement fund have been transferred to beef up technology acquisition. Supervisor Wayne Hazzard of the South Anna District said that, after months of reading about reductions in the press, his numbers indicated the reduced revenue and deficit talk might have been press motivated, especially regarding the county’s share to the school budget. “It seems to me looking at your budget that we have actually increased revenue from the county to you by $1,173,000. Is that not right?” Hazzard asked Wilson. “That is my understanding. Yes, sir,” Wilson responded. Hazzard pointed out the amount of local increase is actually more than the system has
received “in the past three or four years,” to which Wilson also agreed. The state and federal contributions in this year’s school budget also have increased in this year’s proposal and most of the reduced funds are from sources that are not under board control, according to Hazzard. “The 1.1 percent difference is mostly in funds that we as a board do not have control over,” he said. Hazzard also pointed out that this current school budget spends more dollars than last year’s edition. “Even if we took this total budget of $177,701,000 and you spent every dime of it, you would spend more money than in the year you just finished, 2012, where we educated more children, and had more teachers. Is that not correct?” Hazzard asked. “Mr. Hazzard, you are correct,” Wilson responded. The South Anna representative pointed out that if past years were any indicator, the board would make other appropriations to the schools throughout
the year that will make up any shortfalls. “It’s $4 to $5 million every year,” Hazzard said, citing a 10year record of the appropriations. “Based on history, and history is usually a pretty good predictor of the future, that you can plan on a re-appropriation that will more than cover this deficit. Would you agree with that?” he asked. “To a degree, yes,” Wilson
just specifically pick out certain people because they are in a certain business.” Peterson joined Via in opposing the approval of what amounts to a new proffer policy. “It doesn’t matter to me if it’s $19,000 or $2,000, it’s still bad policy to pick and choose and tax certain people and let other people get off scot-free,” Peterson said. “All of our roads are used by all of us, and — by using the vehicle license fee, a proposal I could support — everybody who uses the road pays their fair share.” Hazzard agreed with Via and Peterson and voted against the measure. “I’m not sure reimplementing a cash proffer
policy at this time is the right policy.” For developments with more than 50 lots the starting proffer figure was about $4,500, but Flagg said last month that those are beginning numbers and the cash proffer required would depend on the impact of the project. The figures are based on the projected road improvement cost estimates covering a 15-year period. For developments with more than 50 lots the starting figure was about $4,500, but Flagg said last month that those are beginning numbers and the cash proffer required would depend on the impact of the project.

Angela Kelly-Wiecek, Chickahominy District, seconded the motion. “My concern from the start is that when we voted in November, we did not look at this in a comprehensive way,” she said. “I’m going to support this and it is my hope that, as a board, we continue to look at how we pay for growth equitably in the county.” Elton Wade, Cold Harbor, was absent due to illness for the first vote on proffers in November, but was the first to offer his thoughts on the new proposals. “I feel like the proffers had gotten too high, but I would not have voted to do away with all the proffers,” Wade said. “Any tax we put on trying to bring those proffer rates back is not

Head Start would take the biggest hit in 2013 with a reduction of slightly less than $50,000. The School Board approved next year’s school schedule with some slight changes from its original form presented last month by Dr. Rosemarie Stocky, director of Instructional Support Services. Make-up days for weather closures were adjusted from the start of the winter break to the end of that cycle. The School Board unanimously approved the new schedule, which lists opening day as Tuesday, Sept. 3. The session ends on June 12, 2014. In other matters, the board recognized Liberty Middle School seventh grader Katherine Goodman for her selection as a state honoree by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards Program.

said, explaining that increases in the expenditures for this year were largely due to Virginia Retirement System and health insurance costs. Hazzard said he wanted to set the record straight regarding the board’s willingness to fund the schools. “I’m just trying to get across the part about the board cutting your budget,” Hazzard said. “That’s false information, and I know the news media has a hard time with facts sometimes, but I think it’s time they ought to look into it before spouting out groundless noise.” Angela Kelly-Wiecek, Chickahominy District, pointed out those costs are out of the School Board’s control.

Herzog said an increase in his budget reflects work at the Topototomy and Ashland treatment plants at a cost of $5.5 million. His budget recommends a 5 percent increase in water rates and a 1 percent increase in sewer charges. Herzog estimated future costs for improvements at treatment plants at $25 to $30 million. Chalkley said low starting salaries for his prosecutors has resulted in a lack of experience in his office, with four people with less than four years of experience. Assistant prosecutors receive a $60,000 starting salary, and Chalkley said that’s not enough to keep lawyers on the job. He asked if a state compensation board $46,000 allotment
could be used to bolster those salaries, especially for key deputy Commonwealth Attorney Shari Skipper. Chalkley said she’s the office’s go-to person in big trial cases, and losing her would seriously affect his office’s ability to effectively try cases. With Hanover employees enduring another year without raises, Lawson’s budget recommends reinstating a career development program abandoned two years ago. Increased VRS contributions and Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA) charges have resulted in lower take-home pay for most county employees.

VUU Chamber Singers to perform in Hanover Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com On Sunday, March 24, the Virginia Union University Chamber Singers will perform “Saga of a People: Musical Reflections” in the theater at Hanover Tavern. The 90-minute show, that features a combination of narrative and music highlighting the history of negro spirituals through modern gospel music, will begin at 5 p.m. The program will kick off the 2013 Season of Harmony in Hanover, a musical series that helps support Hanover Tavern Foundation’s mission to preserve, interpret and utilize the Tavern as an historic, educational, community and cultural resource center for the enjoy-

ment of all. Concert tickets are $10 each. WORKING TOGETHER TO PRODUCE AN EXCEPTIONAL SHOW “Saga of a People: Musical Reflections,” a collaborative work, is the first time that Hanover Tavern has partnered in a program with Virginia Union University. The piece combines the musical talents of Virginia Union University students and faculty members Dr. Willis Barnett and Charmaine S. McGilvary, with a narrative about the origins of African American Gospel music, written by Elizabeth Bickford of Ashland. As a historical piece, “Saga of a People” is considered well
suited to being premiered at the Tavern, a place that has seen more than its share of history. For nearly three centuries, Hanover Tavern owners, guests and inhabitants have been part of events that transformed America from an English colony to an independent nation. Early on the site of the Tavern was part of a 550-acre plantation at Hanover Courthouse. The land was worked with slave labor. In August 1800, several slaves from the Tavern complex participated in Gabriel Prosser’s Great Slave Rebellion. This attempted insurrection and its consequences were among one of the incidents that inflamed abolitionists, frightened slaveholders and advanced America’s march towards the
Civil War. VIRGINIA UNION UNIVERSITY PIONEERS EDUCATION FOR AFRICAN AMERICANS Virginia Union University is one of the nation’s oldest Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU’s). It was founded in 1865 on the site of Lumpkin’s jail in Richmond, which was a holding cell for runaway slaves. The university was the result of a merger between two older schools, Richmond Theological Institute and
Wayland Seminary. Later, Hartshorn Memorial College, which was the first college for African American women, and Storer College, the first college for African Americans in West Virginia, were merged into the university. FROM GLEE CLUB TO CHAMBER SINGERS The Glee Club at Union was formed in 1921 by Professor Harold D. Martin and in many ways was the precursor to today’s 60-voice Chamber Singers. The music program quickly grew, establishing a strong cho-
ral tradition. The group has a large repertory of music, ranging from spirituals and classical works to contemporary gospel. TICKETS AND RESERVATIONS Tickets for the performance of “Saga of A People: Musical Reflections” may be purchased by phone at 804-537-5050 or on the web at www.hanovertavern. org via “Events” page. For more information about this event and other Hanover Tavern programs, visit www. hanovertavern.org.

Keeler completes cycle in win over H-SC By Thomas C. Dozier For The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND — As has been the case of late, local products stepped up big in both dugouts when Randolph-Macon baseball hosted arch-rival Hampden-Sydney last week on Hugh Stephens Field at Estes Park. R-MC, thanks to the trio of Mitchell Keeler (Atlee), Jeb Weymouth (Hanover) and Jon Witt (Trinity Episcopal), broke to a 6-1 lead after two innings, put up a trio of runs in three of the first four innings and built a big enough gap to hold off a furious H-SC ninth inning rally to get the Old Dominion Athletic Conference win 13-11. However, more impressive than the final score was the performance of Keeler, a freshman from Atlee who was making his fourth start; his third as designated hitter. In the final tally, the 5-9,

lineup. “I was just working real hard trying to improve my game,” Keeler explained. “Then I finally got my chance to catch against Methodist and I went 1-for-3 with two walks. “It has been a great experience here,” Keeler added. “I just love college and college baseball. It has been a good fit. I feel like the freshman class is starting to come together and that is really helping the team get better.” Weymouth, a 5-9, 180pound senior outfielder, recorded three hits and two RBI while Witt, a 6-3, 245-pound first baseman, tallied two hits and two RBI, including a solo
home run. The trio of Keeler, Weymouth and Witt combined to drive in 10 runs. Although, in the opposing dugout, there was another Hanover County product that almost helped the Tigers overcome a seemingly insurmountable deficit. Beau Flinchum, a 61, 175-pound senior shortstop our of Hanover, went 4-for-5, with two runs and four RBI, including a three-run homer that pulled the visitors within two runs in the ninth and provided the final margin. “It is a good win and I am proud of the way we came out and played,” Randolph-Macon see KEELER, pg. 33

eighth-year coach Ray Hedrick said. “You know a Jeff Kinne coached team is going to come in and play hard and battle you until the end. But anytime you can win a conference game against a team like HampdenSydney it is a good win. “I joked to the team before the game that we were probably going to have to out-hit them to win the game. We did that and played well for about six innings and then I think we got a little too comfortable in the later innings and allowed them to score 10 runs in the final three innings.” R-MC freshman Daniel Byrd picked up his first collegiate win, going six innings, allowing four hits and recording three strikeouts. Four pitchers, made up of two sophomores (Brandon Beiler in the 7th, J.T. Williamson finished the 9th) and two freshmen (Tanner Phillips in the 8th, Christian Sanderson started the 9th), closed it out but it didn’t come easy. The foursome surrendered 10 hits en route to 10 runs in a three-inning span.
“I told them afterwards that as sharp as the bullpen was over the weekend it was equally disappointing today,” Hedrick said. “I tried to rest some pitchers and we used two freshmen and two sophomores, but the guys need to learn, whoever it may be, how to stay focused and not get too comfortable.” The Yellow Jackets got it started in the first when Michael Trentham, a freshman from James River, led off the bottom of the first inning and reached on an error. Keeler singled and with one out to score Trentham while Tim Benjamin, who came into the game with a .457 average, grounded out to second to score Keeler. Then Witt drilled a bases-empty homer to provide the early three-run lead. The Tigers got a run back in the top of the second as Jeff Gray, who went 2-for-5 on the day, scored on a wild pitch before the home team put up their second straight three spot by virtue of a three-run homer from Keeler. The designated hitter lifted a 0-1 pitch from Hampden-Sydney starter Aaron Van Allen over the leftfield fence for the 6-1 lead.
Congratulations, Wolverines
Keeler and Weymouth helped tack on another run in the fourth as Keeler lined a two-out single, advanced to second on a wild pitch and scored on a double to the left-center field gap by Weymouth. But the home team was not done as Benjamin, who was 1-for-4 with two RBI, hit a double into center field to score Weymouth. Benjamin added to the run total on the Texas-Leaguer single from Witt, for the 9-1 lead. The Keeler-Weymouth tandem were back at it in the fifth inning for the Yellow Jackets. Keeler not only tripled to complete the cycle but scored Nate Meiners while Weymouth followed with a single to plate Keeler and give the home team its biggest lead of the day at 11-1. Hampden-Sydney freshman Jack Elliott (single), senior Patrick Kuhns (sacrifice fly) and Hunter Lewis (single) drove in an RBI each in the seventh to cut the deficit to 11-4. As Keeler got his fifth hit of the day in the seventh to drive in the Yellow Jackets 12th run of the game, Flinchum answered with his third hit of the game
to drive in Tucker, who had doubled. Randolph-Macon scratched across a run on the benefit of an error in the eighth to end the home team’s scoring before Hampden-Sydney unleashed a four-hit, six-run 9th that forced the home team to use two pitchers. Allen, who fell to 0-3, suffered the loss for the Tigers. The game-day rosters for both teams feature 30 players from the Central Region and local private schools. The Tigers have two Hanover players – Beau Flinchum, a senior from Hanover and Brian Collins, a sophomore from Patrick Henry. The Yellow Jackets have six players from Hanover – Hunter Wilkinson, Cody Crawley and Will Jennings from Patrick Henry; Jeb Weymouth, Zach Broaddus from Hanover and Mitch Keeler from Atlee. Also, Ashland resident Adam Donohoe is from Benedictine. Coach Hedrick, said he knew from the start that local players would be the backbone to his team if they were going to be successful. “I learned a long time ago if

you take care of your backyard, it will take care of you,” Hedrick added. “And some of the best baseball in the Commonwealth of Virginia is played around here and Hanover County has been an important part.” Hedrick pointed out that because of that, RandolphMacon has an influence at all four county baseball programs. Lee-Davis coach Kenny Lewis went to R-MC, Atlee’s assistant coach is Greg Waters, the former R-MC baseball coach that preceded Hedrick while former players Bobby White (Hanover) and Cory Jackson (Patrick Henry) complete the coaching superfecta.

Hanover handles Titans in opener 11-8 By Arthur Utley For The Mechanicsville Local A season-opening baseball game between two high schools that are perennial powers in the Central Region is sure to draw attention even though the outcome has little effect on what the teams accomplish by the end of the year. Hanover took the lengthy drive from northwest Hanover County to Cosby High in far western Chesterfield County Thursday afternoon. In sunny, but cold and blustery conditions, the Hawks and Titans combined for 19 runs and 24 hits while each team used four pitchers. Hanover prevailed 11-8 in a three-hour game that probably wouldn’t have been completed without daylight saving time. As Cosby coach Tim Lowery said in the postgame gloaming, “It’s a first game and a lot of scenarios go along with it. We didn’t execute things we should have executed. Same for them. Mistakes were made on both sides. As we get better, as they get better, if we happen to see them at the end, [I think] we’ll see two different teams.” Each team returned a play-
er from last year’s Richmond Times-Dispatch All-Metro team: Hanover shortstop Andrew Knizner, a senior who was first team, and Cosby first baseman Hunter Williams, a junior who was second team. A University of North Carolina commit, Williams, batting third, hammered the first pitch he saw in the first inning from Hawks starter Trevor Denton well over the right field fence (the wind was blowing that way too) for a home run to give the Titans a 1-0 lead. Knizner, who is headed to North Carolina State, collected a checked-swing single during the Hawks’ six-run sixth inning, but he produced his specialty, a defensive gem, in the bottom of the fifth for an inning-ending, rally-snuffing double play. The bases were loaded with one out when Cosby’s Ryan Hall grounded to second base to drive in Tyler Fitzgerald, who had led off with a walk. Knizner handled the throw from the second baseman for the second out, then faked a throw to first, turned and threw to third where he caught Cosby’s David Walsh breaking for home. Walsh was tagged out
in the ensuing rundown. It was the second scoring opportunity mistake in the game for the Titans. A.J. Nicely was tagged out at home on an attempted suicide squeeze in the third when the batter failed to lay down the bunt. Through the first three innings, Hanover did little at the plate against Cosby starter Ryan Bickford. The long drive from Hanover to Cosby disrupted the Hawks’ pregame routine, and “we kind of got off the bus pretty flat,” Hanover coach Charlie Dragum said. “I was kind of nervous for a while. We were lucky to be down one instead of five.” Hanover scored three times in the fourth to go ahead 3-1. Derek Casey delivered a runscoring single, and Caymon Richardson drove in two runs with a single for the Hawks. Cosby then knotted the score at 3 when Hall drove in a run with a triple then scored on a wild pitch. Hanover took the lead for good with two runs in the fifth and broke the game open with six runs in the sixth. Cosby chipped away with
single runs in the fifth and sixth then added two more in the bottom of the seventh. The bright sunshine and the wind played havoc with fly balls. Both teams had difficulty fielding what should have been routine catches on a calmer day, and both teams had two errors. The game ended with the bases loaded for Cosby and Denton, now at third, caught an infield popup on his back. “We had a few ups and downs, but overall we played pretty good,” said Hanover catcher Keith Searles, who added he easily would take 11 runs every game. Searles is happy to be back behind the plate. He was the starting catcher last year until he tore the posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee early in the season. He couldn’t squat to catch, but by wearing a brace and undergoing physical therapy, he was able to contribute as the designated hitter. Healthy now, Searles produced two doubles and an RBI single against the Titans. Dragum praised the energy and senior leadership Searles has contributed this season. “I had to make the most of what I had last year. I love
being in the game (offensively and defensively). I love being the quarterback of the baseball field,” Searles said. No seniors are among Hanover’s pitching corps. Juniors Derek Casey and Denton are the top two. Casey (two singles, RBI at the plate) didn’t pitch Thursday. Denton was followed on the mound by Thomas Renfro, Mathew Corley and Hayden Moore. Corley was the winning pitcher, and Moore, a freshman, earned a one-out save. “We wanted to give our pitchers some work. We’re looking to see what we’re going to do down the line,” Dragum said. Cosby used Bickford, Michael Day, Joe Hess and Riley Wilson on the mound. Williams also pitches. “I’m looking for pitchers to throw strikes,” Cosby’s Lowery said. “You’ve got to be able to throw; you’ve got to command the zone and hit your spots. There were a couple of times we didn’t do that. It’s always good to play great competition. Charlie (Dragum) does a great job with their kids. They are a very good team. They’ve got a lot of good athletes, and they proved it.” Hanover is the last team
from the Central Region to play for a state title. The Hawks were the runners-up in 2009. Cosby was a state semifinalist in 2010, and the Titans are the region’s defending champions. Both coaches expect their teams to improve throughout the season. Lowery regularly reminds the Titans: “It’s not where you start, it’s where you finish.” Hanover........... 000 326 0 – 11 12 2 Cosby............... 100 211 3 – 8 12 2 Denton, Renfro (4), Corley (5), Moore (7) and Searles; Bickford, Day (5), Hess (6), Wilson (6) and Ellis.

Holte off to hot start as Atlee downs PH 4-0
By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local Atlee pitcher Jessica Holte showed no sign of early season rust when she stepped on the mound at Patrick Henry Friday night. The four-year starter avoided the middle of the strike zone, but consistently visited its corners en route to striking out 11 of the 23 batters she faced and earning a one-hit, 4-0 victory over the Patriots. Holte was modest about the victory. “It was really a team effort,” she said. “Even though it was a one-hitter, [not] all of those other batters were … strikeouts. My infield was behind me, getting outs for me and making sure that everything went as planned.” Holte left little for her outfield to do. She gave up a double to left field by Patrick Henry sophomore Paige Mitchell in the first inning and a walk to Ashley Samuels in the seventh, but – aside from the strikeouts and a fly ball that Holte fielded – everything else was a grounder. “She’s on,” said Atlee coach John Earley. “The ball is moving pretty good. She’s using her changeup when she can and changing speeds and direc-

tion. She’s working the whole plate, which is going to help her out quite a bit this year. She’s finding out where the umpires are giving her the best call and working it pretty well.” Patrick Henry coach Shelby Webb said the Raiders came out to win while the Patriots just came out to play. She said her batters struggled against Holte. “Their pitching was on point and we were kind of silly in the batter’s box,” Webb said. “We just didn’t do what we needed to do to adjust. But I think this was a good learning tool for us. I think that is probably the best pitching that we’re really going
to see. She’s a great pitcher. She had the outside corner and she worked it.” Webb said the Patriots suffered from a combination of being too selective and not selective enough. “We didn’t necessarily take advantage of the good pitches that we got,” said Webb. “And that outside corner just tricked us and threw us off tonight.” For Holte, the art of pitching requires teamwork, particularly with her battery mate, Cameron Hall. “Cameron, my catcher behind the plate, does really well calling pitches,” Holte said.
“We have good communication between the two of us. We know what needs to be thrown at specific times. We know if something’s not working and we need to adjust something. So we work together and it really helps.” What also helped was Atlee’s
hitting. Mattie Fitzgerald went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI. Annamarie Warley had two doubles in three at-bats. Blair Jones had two singles and an RBI and Shelby Hill hit a triple. “We’re all hitting the ball pretty well right now,” Earley said. “Both [Warley] and Blair Jones, who I’m interchanging at second and DH, they both have been banging the ball. I think over the last two games, I think, they probably each have five hits among them. … [Worley’s] driving the ball and Blair’s finding holes.” Atlee (2-0), a Central Region semifinalist in 2012, lost only two starters from last year’s squad and has only two seniors this season– Holte and shortstop Taylor Sutherland – but is loaded with experienced underclassmen. Patrick Henry (0-1), which reached the state championship game last year, likewise has only
two seniors – Ellen Davidson and Hunter Glave – in its lineup, but overall, it has a much less experienced squad. “We are young,” Webb said. “We are stacked with the sophomore class.” Atlee scored two in the first inning. Hall opened the game with a single. Two strikeouts later, Holte walked, and both were driven in by Fitzgerald’s double. The Raiders added another run in the third. Sutherland reached on an error and scored on Hill’s triple. Atlee’s final score came in the sixth. With one out, Warley hit her second double, then raced home on Jones’ second single.

Tips and Suggestions for Your Home
Season’s cleanings
Cost-effective fencing options
Tips to keep your home clean and clutter free (BPT) - After a long winter, spring is finally in sight. Before the season is in full bloom and outdoor chores pile up, take advantage of spring showers to tackle the indoors first with easy home cleaning and organizing projects. To get your home in tip-top shape, start by breaking down your to-do list room by room, so you can create an easily achievable goal that will leave your house looking fabulous and you feeling refreshed.
Restore beauty in the bath The bathroom may be one of the smallest rooms in the house, but it can also be the one with the biggest mess. Vanities often become a magnet for clutter. Everything, from towels to toiletries, curling irons to cotton balls, can take over this space and make cleaning a nuisance. Start by reducing your items. Marry any of your multiple containers of the same product into one container. Then, recycle the empty containers to create more space. Once your cleaning is complete, add drawer organizers, baskets and other accessories to neatly store all necessities. Then add towel bars - such as the new

Clean and clever kitchens Next, move to the kitchen, a favorite gathering place ... and one of the dirtiest rooms in the house. Begin by sorting through cupboards to weed out any unused products, such as specialized appliances, expired pantry foods and containers with missing lids. If it’s broken or hasn’t been used in a year, it’s time to get rid of it. You’ll instantly achieve valuable cabinet storage - as well as eliminate objects that collect dust and bacteria. Now, start from the top and
give your kitchen a thorough cleaning - including tops of cabinets and appliances - and finish with a good scrubbing of the floors. Finally, focus on updating the germiest area of the kitchen - the sink. There are typically more than 500,000 bacteria per square inch in the sink drain alone, according to Health Magazine. And that doesn’t include regularly touched items, such as your sponge and faucet.

encing serves many purposes. Some homeowners erect a fence for privacy, while others do so to contain pets and children. Because fencing can be expensive, some homeowners look for ways to cut costs, which can be relatively easy, especially for those homeowners willing to consider various materials when erecting their fence. Traditional fences are available in materials ranging from wood to vinyl to metal. Homeowners have other options at their disposal if they prefer a more natural fence. Different shrubs, trees or grasses can be planted to create a barrier between properties or within the property. When choosing a fencing material, consider that even a less expensive material may prove more expensive in the long run if it needs significant maintenance or has to be replaced in just a few years. Therefore, the most cost-effective fencing material may not necessarily be the least expensive one at the store. Here are some materials homeowners can consider.
Found material
Spring Home Improvement - A Special Supplement to The Mechanicsville Local
Repurposed wood or metal can be crafted into a rustic, one-of-a-kind fence. Materials can be found that are no cost, requiring only the cost of labor. Should you build it yourself, this can be next to nothing. Sometimes existing fences on another property can be disassembled and re-built on your own property for little to no cost as well.
Chainlink/ chainwire Chainlink fencing is one of the most economical types of boundary fencing. The fencing comes in a variety of diamond sizes and is fixed to galvanized pipes spaced across the perimeter of the property. Although it is some of the least expensive fencing, it does not offer much privacy on its own. But if you are looking at fencing simply as a barrier, chainlink could be the way to go.
Picket fencing A wooden picket fence is another inexpensive fencing material. The pickets can be purchased in various heights, and this fence may be used as garden border see FENCING, pg. 3B

Few things are better than having a functional and beautiful outdoor space to entertain guests. Having a great outdoor space enables a person to host parties or intimate gatherings all year long. Establishing an entertaining space and maintaining that space are essential when planning another year of fun in the sun. There are many things homeowners can do to ensure their entertaining space is safe and functional. As the season approaches, include some landscaping and decorating components to your preparatory plans to make the space as comfortable and aesthetically appealing as possible. Here are a few key tips for readying your yard for entertaining possibilities.

longer. “By featuring Microban antimicrobial technology on our faucet finish, we hope to help homeowners spend more time enjoying their home ... and less time cleaning and worrying about stains and odors,” says Andrea Conroy, director of retail marketing for Moen.
Refreshed laundry room The laundry room, since it is often located near the frequently used garage entry, can become a catch-all for everything from cleaners to coats, and shoes to shop vacs. Free yourself of this clutter by organizing and giving everything its proper place. Items often get stashed on the horizontal sur-
faces - such as the floor or on top of the washer and dryer - so look to the vertical surfaces of the room to create new, more appropriate places. Adding wall cabinets is an ideal place to add storage (and keep things neatly hidden). Wall hooks dedicated to each family member can neatly hold coats, scarves and bags. Installing shelves in the coat closet can provide additional room on top and below the gar-

Having a bit of concealment also means you can create a private space that isn’t easily viewed by neighbors or passersby.
Plan well-defined areas Just as rooms serve different purposes inside of the home, outdoor areas can be separated according to usage. Establish a sitting nook where guests can gather and talk. Have a bar or serving area where refreshments are made and served. Make sure there is a shaded area for when see ENTERTAINING, pg. 3B

the sun is too uncomfortable to make sitting outside enjoyable. Similarly, have a sunny area where people can soak up a few rays or dry off after a dip in the spa or pool. Don’t forget to establish a spot for the kids to converge with scaled-down amenities.
Consider a fireplace or fire pit For centuries man (and woman) has gathered around fire for socialization and a means to warming up. Having a backyard fireplace, pit or chiminea is a conversationstarter, a decorative focal point, and a functional tool to extend the number of seasons in which outdoor entertaining can take place. Place the fire wisely and with concern for safety. It should be out of the way of foot traffic, but central enough so that it can be a gathering point.
Invest in quality outdoor furniture
FENCING Continued from pg. 1B
Today’s yards are extensions of a home’s interior. Guests no longer want to sit on uncomfortable metal or plastic furniture. There are many different outdoor sofas and chairs that are as stylish as they are comfortable. These pieces can be matched to the decor inside your home for a cohesive look.
Accessorize Consider the creature comforts of indoors and mimic that outdoors. Don’t shy away from hanging artwork on an exterior wall or using urns or pottery to decorate the space. Weatherresistant materials ensure everything from clocks to televisions can be used outdoors. Think about having an entire set of serving dishes and other entertaining items for the outdoors. When refurbishing outdoor entertaining areas, emphasize comfort, safety and functionality.

new roof can be one of the more expensive repairs for homeowners. But homeowners don’t have to break the bank when it comes to replacing a roof, which can be made from a variety of materials that can vary greatly in price. Asphalt shingles are the most affordable roofing material and that budget-friendly price is one reason why asphalt shingles are so popular. The asphalt shingles of today are also durable, which was not
always the case. Ceramic tiles are another roofing material, but these tend to be quite expensive. However, their price has made them quite rare, which might be attractive to prospective buyers when the time comes to sell the house. Durable and aesthetically appealing, metal roofing is another option that’s popular in areas they get heavy snowfall because snow does not build up on the metal like it might on other materials. The price of metal roofing varies signifi-
cantly, so homeowners considering a metal roof should do some comparison shopping before making a decision. Slate tiles are another roofing material, but one that’s very labor-intensive to install and, as a result, costly as well. But slate tiles are very durable, in some cases lasting as long as half a century or more, so homeowners who install slate tile can rest easy knowing the roof they install now will likely be the last roof they ever pay for. —Metro Creative

and lawns cohabitate peacefully?
The backyard has become a go-to destination for warm weather recreation. As the “staycation” has grown in popularity, more effort has been put forth in making the backyard a place where all members of the household can enjoy themselves. That means merging interests into one space. A pool may be competing for acreage along with a decorative patch of lawn. Some homeowners wonder if lawns and pools can be successful alongside each other. Many question if chlorinated pool water poses any ill effects on the grass in the backyard. In addition to splash-out of water during fun times in the pool, water also will be tracked across the lawn from children and adults exiting the pool or will flood the grass when it is necessary to clean and “backwash” the filter. Will you be left with a dried-out patch of chlorine-burnt lawn? Probably not. Healthy chlorine levels in a pool are kept so that the pool water is generally on par with the chlorine levels contained in regular tap water. You wouldn’t hesitate turning on the hose to water your lawn, so you shouldn’t be overly concerned about pool water splashing out of the pool, particularly if you are stringent about maintaining the proper pH levels and chlorine levels. Also, soil can withstand chlorine at high acid levels and is pretty resilient about self-correcting. Furthermore, grass blades are selective about which nutrients they absorb, so excess chlorine likely will not penetrate the grass blades. Chlorine also dissipates in the sun. Therefore, while the see POOLS, pg. 10B

arpeting has long been a reliable flooring option to keep rooms looking good and feeling comfortable underfoot. There’s something to be said about having a plush, warm cushion on the floors of a home. Carpeting can help buffer sounds and minimize injuries from falls. Walking around on a padded surface may minimize back and joint pain as well as feel more comfortable when going barefoot. Despite all of the advantages to carpeting, some people continue to avoid it for a variety of reasons, many of which are rooted in myth.

Some people have actually said that watering your lawn with pool water can be an ecofriendly way of curbing water usage. Therefore, it may be safely used on lawns and most flowering plants. It is unadvisable to water vegetable gardens with pool water because of any trace levels of other chemicals that may be found in the pool water. Homeowners still concerned about exposing their lawns to pool water can create a buffer zone around the pool. Inground pools are traditionally bordered by concrete or patio blocks. Place stone or mulch around the perimeter of an above-ground pool to catch any splashes and to create a barrier

Addressing drafts around the house
F $50 OF ts e Twin S
Homeowners know that no home is perfect. Sometimes a home’s biggest issue can be relatively small and easy to fix, while other issues are more substantial and require a bit more time and money. Drafts around the house fall somewhere in the middle of that spectrum. Though not necessarily difficult or costly to fix, drafts can be an uncomfortable nuisance and may require a little more elbow grease than more minor issues around a house. The following are a few ways homeowners can address drafts around the house.

drafts into the home. The solution to this problem doesn’t have to break the bank. Instead of replacing old windows and doors, use weather stripping and press it into the gaps around the frame. This can block drafts, and you should be able to notice an immediate difference.
Hang heavier curtains or drapes Another way to address a drafty room is to hang thick curtains or drapes in front of the window. The heavier the material, the more effective it will be at keeping cold air from circulating around the room.

Homeowners with a fireplace might be inviting drafts in through their favorite feature. If the damper on the fireplace is open, drafts will enter the home. Simply close the damper and the home will likely get a lot less drafty.
Inspect the attic
If your home has an attic, that oft-forgotten room upstairs might be the source of the home’s drafts. When a home is heated, the air inside that home is pressurized, driving that air through ceiling penetrations and into the attic. This creCheck for gaps around windows ates leaks that allow warmth to escape the house while inviting colder air in. Plug any air leaks into and doors The most likely culprit if a home is drafty is gaps the attic, which should eliminate drafts as well as around windows and doors.

Addressing moss growth on your property of moss growth is insufficient sunlight to support the grass. Sunlight might be blocked by shade from nearby trees or shrubs or even shadows from your home. Soil conditions may also be responsible for moss growth. Soil that is very acidic can promote moss growth, and the moss that grows because of acidic soil will appear very healthy. Compacted soil can also promote moss growth because such soil has low oxygen levels that make it hard for the turf to establish strong roots, and moss will take advantage of those weaker roots. Soil with low fertility levels is also amenable to moss, as it does not produce a healthy turf. Unhealthy turf makes it easy for plants with a low demand for nutrients, including moss, to establish themselves.
What causes moss growth?
How can I solve the problem of moss growth?
Moss can grow in a yard for a variety Moss that grows because of excessive of reasons, but the most common cause shade can often be addressed with some
minor efforts. If the shade is a result of trees or bushes, prune them regularly so sunlight can reach the turf and promote strong turf and roots. If the shade is caused by your house, then you might consider removing the existing turf and then seeding the area with a turf mix that caters to shaded areas. If moss is growing because of compacted soil, aerate the turf and soil to break it up and allow the oxygen to reach the soil. When that occurs, the turf will begin to establish stronger roots and make it more difficult for moss to grow. When soil is tested and it is determined that the soil is acidic, then the soil must be adjusted. Lime might be applied to rebalance the soil, but homeowners should consult a lawn care professional for advice as to the best way to rebalance their soil. Lawn-care enthusiasts often bristle at the sight of moss on their luscious lawns. But moss is often an easily remedied issue that homeowners can address in a variety of ways. –Metro Creative

awn care enthusiasts put lots of time and effort into their lawns and take great pride when that work pays off with a luscious green lawn. But no lawn is immune to problems, and even the most well-maintained property can develop issues that compromise the lawn’s health and aesthetic appeal. Moss is one potential lawn issue that many green-thumbers would prefer to avoid. While moss is not always harmful, it can be unsightly and lawn care enthusiasts may spend a significant amount of money attempting to control it. Controlling moss can be costly, but there are some ways to control moss that will not cost homeowners much money at all. Before addressing moss in your yard, it helps to understand why moss grows and then look at the various ways to control it once it does.
