Seven pursue HCSB seats By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Seven citizens threw their hats in the ring for two upcoming Hanover County School Board appointments at the May 8 meeting of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors meeting. In addition to the two incumbents, Ann F.H. Gladstone and Robert Wood, four other residents of the South Anna and Cold Harbor districts announced their intentions to seek the seat. Supervisor Wayne Hazzard, who represents South Anna, will select from Gladstone, current chair of the School Board, and three newcomers. Sue Dibble cites years of service in the Elmont Elementary and Liberty Middle School

PTAs and a proven management record in the private sector as qualifications for her candidacy. “I believe with my business and management experience — coupled with my understanding of the needs of our parents, school administrators and students — I
would be an asset to our School Board in our quest for excellence,” Dibble said during her five-minute presentation. She heads her own property management, design and construction firm. “I’m a strong advocate for our public schools and have a vested interest in seeing our Hanover schools maintain and expand the high level of education we are providing for our children,” Dibble, said. Lynn Hargrove also is seeking the South Anna seat. “I would like to see our schools continue to thrive … I believe that a strong school system makes a strong community,” she said. “I am certain that the board would benefit from my business perspective, experience and ability to put forth colsee HCSB, pg. 30
Rutland continues to grow By Jodi Deal jdeal@mechlocal.com Construction at the Rutland community in Hanover County is bringing the 494-home development project closer to completion. Included in the original master plan for the 202-acre
development, the new construction will include single-family dwellings in three price ranges, ranging from town homes to three- to five-bedroom houses, and also will include new office space. Rutland, built on the site of a former plantation, is being
developed by HHHunt, which bought all of the properties needed for the planned development in 2005. The community is located along U.S. 301, Chamberlayne Road, north of the Interstate 295 see RUTLAND, pg. 5

Supervisors: chimps have to go By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local A Mechanicsville man has vowed to fight a decision by the Hanover County Board of Supervisors forcing him to remove four chimpanzees from his property on Bultaco Trail in the Cold Harbor District. Curtis Shepperson has raised exotic animals for as long as most residents can remember, but he ran into trouble regarding the number of animals housed at his backyard zoo two years ago. After reports of escaped chimpanzees at Windy Oaks surfaced, county officials discovered that Shepperson had acquired four additional chimps. The local private zoo owner was given two years to find homes for four of his six chimps, allowing him to bring his permit into compliance with county regulations.
When that two-year period ended, county officials allowed Shepperson another six months to find homes for the aging primates. That process is not as easy as one might expect, and, to date, no alternative housing for the animals has been located. With the quickly approaching deadline, Shepperson applied for a permit allowing him to keep the six chimps in his upgraded, and, according to most concerned, secure quarters. Assistant County Administrator James “Jim” Taylor said county staff recommended denial of the permit application, citing the fact that Shepperson had not complied with guidelines set when the two-year extension was granted in addition to other concerns. But supporters of Shepperson said good faith efforts have been made to find a “sanc-

The limited interest he has encountered hinged upon relocating all six monkeys together. “I’m going to keep the two. I’m licensed for them. I’ve had them. The county has approved me for field trips for schools for 15 years,” Shepperson said following the hearing. C.E. “Kip” Davis, a former member of the Board of Supervisors, resides next to

interchange at Atlee Station Road. George Moore, vice president of Development for HHHunt communities, recently said that a townhome community called Rutland Village has drummed up plenty of interest from homebuyers. It will be located off of Atlee Road, adjacent to the Atlee Station Family YMCA and a proposed Hanover County Library. The first phase is now under construction. “There will be 138 overall townhomes, and the first phrase is currently under construction,” Moore said. He added that a model home for the community will be finished in August, and the first two buildings of townhomes have already been sold. The two-story, twoto three-bedroom homes cost $185,000 to $200,000. New single-family Crofton Series homes are being built in a 95-home neighborhood. The last phase is under con-

struction, with 29 homes left for sale in the $260,000 to $290,000 price range. Those homes will have three to four bedrooms, Moore said, and are 1,900 to 2,500 square feet. A new 79-lot neighborhood has one 33-lot phase completed, with the second phase and final set for completion this July, Moore said. That development will include Pennington Series
homes, ranging from $326,000 to $380,000 in price and comprised of three to five bedrooms, with the total area ranging from 2,200 to 3,500 square feet. Of the houses available, 19 have already sold, Moore said, and the remaining homes will be released for sale on June 1. Also under construction is a new office in the Rutland Center Office Park, Moore said.
Commonwealth Counseling Group’s 6,200-square-foot office building will be completed this month. Moore noted that the section with the most expensive homes was once home to the Rutland plantation house, which dates back to the 1880s. It also is the site of several trees that were once part of Fox Hill Farm, which was owned by the ancestors of Elizabeth Lindsey Britton. In a letter to The Mechanicsville Local, Britton expressed dismay that large white oak trees, some of which are hundreds of years old, are being knocked down for the development. “About 15 years ago, the largest of them – over 16 feet in circumference near its base – survived a lightning strike that should have proved fatal, but these wonderful old trees could not survive the assault of men with chain saws and bulldozers and the changes they

Wanted: festival pageant winners
| Reader Views
Lynn Watson, who so expertly handles the responsibilities of director of the annual Tiny Miss/Little Miss Hanover Tomato Festival, is on a mission. She wants as many winners as possible to contact her so they can join in the 35th anniversary on Saturday, July 13, at Pole Green Park. The festival was started in 1978 by Lynn’s late father, Oscar Watson, and the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department. Lynn also invites those who reigned as Miss Black Creek to contact her about this year’s big celebration. Thanks to Oscar, who we sadly lost last year, and the Black Creek VFD, the Hanover Tomato Festival is considered “the” event of the year. The 2013 edition is scheduled to be held from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m. on the grounds of the park. And you can expect it to be filled with vendors, entertainment and, most important, you, the great people of Hanover County. Since 2009, this writer has had the pleasure of covering the pageant. The participants are so cute and some are incredibly funny (without really trying). Proud parents and family members turn out in full force to support their contestants. Anyway, to get to the point (ever notice how I seem to go around the long way?!), Lynn is asking Tomato Festival and Black Creek pageant winners from throughout the years to contact her and take part in upcoming festivities. She can be reached at wlynnepoo@aol.com or 804-328-2142. While we’re going to miss Oscar this year, I am confident the Hanover Tomato Festival Committee, Hanover County Parks and Recreation Department and all the volunteers and organizations associated with the big day will, as always, bring us a memorable and enjoyable event. This year’s Little Miss and Tiny Miss Tomato Pageant will be held at 3 and 4 p.m. on Sunday, June 30, at the East Hanover Volunteer Rescue Squad at 8105 Walnut Grove Road in Mechanicsville. So, if you’ve held the title, give Lynn a call and come out on July 13. More info on the festival is available at http://www.co.hanover.va.us/ parksrec/tomatofest/default.htm. Melody Kinser

Bullying isn’t new, change must come in the home I was reading the April 17 edition of The Local where on the front page a headline read “HCPS bulling policy may get a closer look”. I hate to tell Dr. Donna Boone, but she is — in my opinion — wasting her time. You can implement all the field tests and educational programs you want to, but it won’t help. I went to Hanover County Public Schools and I was bullied, my son went to Hanover County Public Schools and he was bullied, and it is still going on. You as a student or a parent can complain and it will do no good. I also believe that the county schools have a “zero tolerance” for bullying, though I have never seen it in effect. As long as you have children of different types — fat, skinny, redheads, glass-wearers, nerds, jocks, preps, poor, slow learners, big feet, big noses, etc. — you are going to have bullies. Now, I haven’t seen Dr. Boone’s plan, but you want a plan. It has to start at home with the parents, not the School Board because it is not going to happen there — obviously. Parents need to teach their children. I am going to repeat that, Parents, parents, parents need to teach, teach, teach, teach their children. Just because somebody is different it does not give them the right to pick on or bully them. It is that simple, done deal. It starts at home, folks. No reason for research or packets of plans. As far as students that are not punished for bullying, I hate to tell Dr. Boone, but, in my experience, that is what is called “the good ol’ boy network.” Not only does it happen it our school system, but it also happens in Hanover County court systems. You see, that is another reason you will not get rid of bullying. There is always the group of parents who no matter what their children do wrong it is okay. Things simply just get swept under the rug as if nothing ever happened. Nobody cares about the “other kid.” Until something drastic happens, like taking an ax to someone in a Tractor Supply Store. Then it’s the “other kid’s” fault. I honestly believe that a lot of the violence that goes on with kids and grown-ups these days boils down to at some point that person at one time was bullied or pushed to the point and just couldn’t take it anymore. I feel sorry for Dr. Boone’s grandson and know what he is going through. The best advice I have for her is to talk to him tell him you love him and tell him it is not his fault and, unfortunately, this is not fair, but it is how the world is. It is
not a kind one. Not just in Hanover but anywhere. Kids are dying every day from suicide because of this problem. Melvin Southworth Hanover
Bullies aren’t limited to those of a young age We have all heard terrible stories about parents at kids’ sporting events losing their cool and attacking opposing teams; some involve physical assault or even gunfire. Sadly, Mechanicsville is no exception, though I haven’t seen any weapons. As a female I admit I don’t understand the father/child/ coach/sports dynamic completely. I know there is quite a tendency for men to relive their glory years through their children. What dreams were unanswered for them are pushed onto their unsuspecting male child. I see it in my own household to a degree and I see it in abundance in our community. I try to practice understanding and patience where this situation is concerned as perhaps there is a place for it in the rites of passage to manhood. I have been patient with other fathers with overinflated egos and obsessions who demean their own children, coaches, other parents, whoever may stand in their way of realizing these pipe dreams. However, I have hit my limit with two particular fathers in our community. My son will be 13 in a few weeks and these adult bullies have been harassing him and my husband since 2010. Examples: In 2010 one of the bullies — a 45- to 50-year-old car salesman — was nearly ejected from the field by an umpire for yelling derogatory statements to my son while he pitched at a little league game. My son was 10. This same bully also visited the Atlee fields this past March (2013) to again yell derogatory things to my son see LETTERS, pg. 8

make in the name of progress,� Britton wrote. Moore said he is aware of the Britton family, who were among four landowners who sold property for the Rutland development. “We try to save trees where we can, but those were located in an area where there was some grading required. Due to the design requirements, we had to cut them down,� Moore said. He also said that development plans have remained largely unchanged since the property was originally rezoned in 2004. Moore noted that HHHunt took care to give the historic property all due historical evaluation, working with both the Virginia Department of Historic Resources and private consultants.

the property were moved to a site near the current home of the Rutland House, which was relocated and renovated. Those graves are now acknowledged with a historic marker. During the evaluation, no historical significance was found for the trees, Moore said, Moore noted. The Rutland House, which is the site of community activities and the development’s pool, has artifacts found during the evaluations and historical timelines on display inside. “We invested a lot in the house, the re-interment and the memorial. We knew going in we would make that investment,� Moore said. “We’ve done a lot of historic work to make sure we didn’t remove anything inappropriately.� Relocating the Rutland House cost $650,000, and all improvements associated with the renovated house, including amenities installed nearby, cost $1.5 million, according to Moore.

while he pitched. His child was not even on the opposing team. The other bully is a bit quieter about his abuse but the message is loud and clear nonetheless. Also a 45- to 50-yearold business owner in the auto industry, this man approached my husband after a game in 2010 to tell him how much he “sucked.” He recently repeated this same statement through a fence after a tournament that his son’s team won against us. His son was in tears as a result of his behavior but the offending father was not interested in his son’s feelings or anyone else’s for that matter. He was laughing and receiving a pat on the back from the car salesman bully. I am not so naïve as to believe that these “men” will change their behavior. Their behavior is a lifestyle choice and they will continue to degrade others to make themselves look “cool” and dominant. I am writing this to appeal to our community. My dad always says, “You are who you hang with” and these “men” always seem to have a group to hang with. I implore you to shun this behavior in anyone. So many of you have seen it and let it slide
because you don’t want to be next on their list. Truth is, they are just as likely to turn on you, especially if they perceive that you or your child is achieving success. Stand up to these bullies. Do the right thing. Robin McMillion Mechanicsville
Sign sources revealed I apologize to Debbie Ireland for not revealing the source used in composing the Tea Party sign on New Ashcake Road and Whipporwill Lane. It is obvious you spent a lot of time researching your source. Try http://www.google. com/ “The 10 Poorest Cities have been run by Democrats for Decades.” I do not understand why your extensive research did not take you to the “2013 poverty levels, cities of over 250,000 residents.” Had you gone to this site you would have found at least three sources confirming the statement on the sign. Try “What do the the top 10 cities over 250,000 with the highest poverty rate all have in common?” U.S. Census Bureau 2006. Or try “Our 10 poorest cities before its news,” March
24, 2013. Or “Democratic leadership responsible for poorest cities in the U.S: The Last Resistance.” It is interesting how the top 10 in 2006 are the same top 10 in 2013. For those who may not have a computer, please find the following from March 24, 2013: Ten poorest cities, percentage of people below the poverty level: 1) Detroit, 32.5 percent, Democratic since 1961; 2) Buffalo, 29.9 percent, Democratic since 1954; 3) Cincinnati, 27.8 percent, Democratic since 1984; 4) Cleveland, 27.0 percent, Democratic since 1989; 5) Miami, 26.9 percent, never had a Republican mayor; 6) St. Louis, 26.8 percent, Democratic since 1949; 7) El Paso, 26.4 percent, never had a Republican mayor; 8) Milwaukee, 26.2 percent, Democratic since 1908; 9) Philadelphia, 25.1 percent, Democratic since 1952; and 10) Newark, 24.2 percent, Democratic since 1907. Had you investigated more thoroughly, you would have found the one sign you said was hateful was, in fact, not a Tea Party sign, but rather one installed by the property owner exercising their 1st Amendment Right. Surely you would not deny this property owner his right because it is in opposition to your opinion. You do correctly state in your letter to the editor that the Mechanicsville Tea Party goals, which have been and will continue to be our guide for exposing government at all levels that have forgotten or ignored the Constitution and the fact they work for We the People and not their own self interests. Ms. Ireland, I invite you to attend our Tea Party meetings, and gain knowledge first-hand. We welcome your ideas and discussion. I personally ensure you that if you visit one of our meetings you will be welcomed and treated with respect.
I believe, after reading your letter, you share our beliefs in and for the love for this great nation. Working together, we can ensure that this beacon on the hill will not be extinguished. Bring your friends! We have a sign that reads “Sunshine Patriots: Are You Doing your Share? We need your help!” All are welcome. Major Mansfield Mechanicsville
Americans lose liberties I would like to thank Bob Murphy and Scott Hicks for their letters in reference to the “gun control” issue — not because there is any merit to either one of them, but because they so amply demonstrate the tactic used by the Left that is causing the American people to lose their liberties. The Left is neither interested in having a dialogue nor in finding solutions to problems. In our country we have a problem with people killing people. The Left has a problem with citizens having guns, because it is afraid that they might stand in the way of their statist agenda. So when a tragic event occurs, they trot out their tired liturgy of gun control schemes, despite [Vice President Joe] Biden’s admission that they would have done nothing to prevent the school tragedy (outlaws by definition don’t obey laws). But to the point: the letters. If you read the letters, you find no facts, no new information. What you find is their attempt to ridicule me and to attack me personally. These tactics, most famously elaborated upon by Saul Alinsky in his book “Rules for Radicals,” are always the resort of the Left when they have no answer to criticisms of them or their ideas. Alinsky listed 12 rules for these “organizers.” The applisee LETTERS, pg. 13

cable ones are Rule No. 5 and Rule No. 12. Rule No. 5 says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ridicule is manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most potent weapon.â&#x20AC;? It is irrational, it proves nothing, but it is used to create anger and fear, and to intimidate those who disagree with them. Rule No. 12 says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.â&#x20AC;? The radical picks a person â&#x20AC;&#x201C; me, in this case â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and tries to make it look like I am the problem, and I am different from everyone else, making my argument less appealing. Ultimately, of course, the Left escalates and always winds up using violence, as was seen in Wisconsin when the unions did not get their way. This sort of â&#x20AC;&#x153;actionâ&#x20AC;? is the physical manifestation of the verbal bullying Murphy and Hicks use when they have no cogent argument and they know it. Sadly, good people are being bullied every day by people like these two and by our current administration, which is not surprising considering our President himself is a â&#x20AC;&#x153;community organizerâ&#x20AC;? Alinsky disciple. Looking beyond the puerile comments of Murpy and Hicks, the point I was making was that the Second Amendment is based on natural law. There are two basic theories of where our laws come from. One is John Austinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s theory of legal positivism, which held that the law is a command issued by the uncommanded commander (the sovereign) and that such commands are backed by the threat of sanctions (force). That is the theory favored by the Left that the state is free to impose its will on its subjects. The other is natural law, important to the Founders who followed Rousseau and other natural law philosophers, which holds that law reflects essentially moral and unchangeable
laws of nature. Rather than a system of arbitrary rules imposed by a king (or President), law should follow a divine order that is written on manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart and knowable by faith and reason. The right to self-defense results in the Second Amendment. In Jesusâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; day, the weapon available was the sword, and several Disciples, notably Peter who cut off the servantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ear in the Garden, carried swords. Jesus told Peter to put his sword away because he was interfering with Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan for Jesus to give his life for us, not because he advocated sword control. Today, the weapon of choice is the firearm, and the Second Amendment recognizes our right to use whatever weapon we need to defend ourselves. People of Mechanicsville, do not be fooled by the rhetoric of Leftist sycophants like Murphy and Hicks. Recognize their tactics and recognize their real agenda â&#x20AC;&#x201C; to bully you into giving up your God-given rights that generations of American patriots fought and died to preserve. Frederick Liewehr Mechanicsville
Sulser a man of high standards In regard to recent letters concerning Hanover County School Board elections vs. appointments: I cannot speak to the character or motives/agendas of the people who wrote; I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know those people. I do know Norman Sulser, and for his name to be the brunt of any negative controversy is absurd. Mr. Sulser is a man of high standards, values, and a totally law-abiding citizen. In the nearly 20 years of our acquaintance, self-serving is not a quality I would use to describe Norman Sulser. Were he to serve on
Hanoverâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School Board again, elected or appointed, he would be an advocate for our Hanover students and teachers. Surely, this is not the reason for such unkind, unwarranted character assassination. Janet Hayden Mechanicsville

(â&#x20AC;&#x153;Supervisor steps up on appointmentâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; May 8), she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read her own newspaper. The 21-paragraph public statement by Wade to which she refers, and which appears on the same page as her editorial, goes into exhaustive detail as to Norman Sulserâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s qualifications to be a member of the Hanover County School Board. Which would be all very well and good â&#x20AC;&#x201D; if anyone had ever challenged them to begin with. The issue is not whether Norman Sulser has the resume for the post.

EVB raising funds for teen battling incurable disease Staff Report news@mechlocal.com A fundraiser is scheduled Saturday for a King William teen who is battling an incurable disease. EVB Bank in King William will sponsor a car wash/hot dog sale from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.
to benefit Megan Simpson, 16, who was diagnosed with Juvenile Dermatomyositis in 2011. “Just to look at her, you would not know she’s battling this incurable disease,” her mother Susan said. Megan was first diagnosed
with Raynaud’s Syndrome in 2008. “Over the next few years, she would complain about being very tired,” her mom said. When new symptoms arose in January 2011, Susan said “every medical test was performed. There were these marble-like bumps under the
skin in her fingers, so painful she could not even hold a cup or pencil. They would come with a vengeance, stay for about two weeks, and then peel away.” After five biopsies, an ecocardiogram, MRI, EMG and extensive blood work, it was determined that Megan had
Juvenile Dermatomyositis. “This is such a rare disease,” Susan continued, “that my husband and I along with Megan’s rheumatologist wanted a second opinion.” Megan was taken to, what her mother referred to as, “the

centers entirely on statements attributed to Wade in the April 15 issue of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, in which Wade was quoted by the writer as stating that he had been told that he promised the appointment to Sulser as political payback for successfully getting him reelected to the Hanover County Board of Supervisors in his last election, and that while Wade can no longer recollect making that promise, the justice of it
“They also don’t know if it’s hereditary or from a virus.” The bumps in Megan’s fingers are called calcinosis and they stem from prolonged muscle damage. The disease also causes a rash, heliotrope, on the eyelid. Other rashes strike the fingers, elbows and knees. Extreme fatigue is associated with the disease. Susan also pointed out that there are several types of myosi-
tis, including polymyositis and dermatolmyositis, with derma meaning skin and myositis meaning muscle. More information can be found at www. curejm.org. Megan also is the daughter of Daniel Simpson and has a brother, Matthew. Those unable to attend may make donations at any EVB location where an account has been established in Megan’s name.
seemed “right” to him. Sulser’s fitness for the job was never called into question. Wade’s honesty and judgment were. It may well be that Wade was completely misquoted by the Richmond Times-Dispatch. But nowhere in his 21 paragraphs does he even make reference to the interview, let alone contest its veracity. Elton Wade has indeed offered Melody Kinser a lengthy and minute answer. Unfortunately, it is not to the question so many of us have
asked: Did Elton Wade — himself a paid employee of the Hanover County Public Schools — promise Norman Sulser the appointment to the very board that serves as Wade’s own employer in return for his service in Wade’s re-election effort, and did Elton Wade make the statements attributed to him the Times-Dispatch? Should Wade ever provide an answer, he will merit the praise The Mechanicsville Local was so precipitate in bestowing upon him. Joseph Pierro Mechanicsville

is a decorated Air Force veteran and has been a driving force behind the creation and continued success of the Hanover Veteran’s Memorial. The category’s sponsor, Covenant Woods, presented checks that will be used towards renovation of the Beaverdam Ruritan Club House (on behalf of Dorschel) and to the Hanover Veteran’s Memorial (for Salazar). The Castelvecchi family received the “Spirit of Family” award. For decades, members of this family have been active in public safety, fire suppression, disaster planning and other community activities benefiting Hanover County. The category’s sponsor, Walmart of Ashland, presented a check to the Montpelier Volunteer Fire Department, where Frank III, his son Francis and daughter Margaret currently run calls and where mother Peggy is a member of the auxiliary. The Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office Motorists Assistance Unit received the “Spirit of Team” award. These highly trained volunteers patrol the county in marked Ford Explorers equipped with amber lights. Members direct traffic at accident scenes and special events, assist disabled motorists with tire changing, move stranded vehicles from roadways and even check properties for residents that are out of town. Since the program began, these volunteers have logged more than 7,000 hours. The award’s sponsor, Battlefield Press, presented a check to the Project Lifesaver Program, which offers the ability for the Sheriff ’s Office to locate loved ones and family members who wander due to cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer’s disease or Autism. There were two “Spirit of One” winners, Alison Boyd and Krista Loucas. Alison founded the nonprofit horse ministry Wings of Hope

Every year, Hanover County recognizes a number of its most outstanding volunteers at its “Spirit of Volunteerism” celebration. The 2013 celebration was held on Tuesday, May 7, at Hanover High School. Volunteers were judged in the following categories: “Spirit of Youth;” “Spirit of Dedication;” “Spirit of Family;” “Spirit of Team;” “Spirit of One;” and “Spirit of Inspiration”. A “Commitment to Community” award honoring a Hanover business that exemplifies strong community values and a sustained commitment to supporting the community also was presented. Judges selected the following volunteers for a 2013 “Spirit of Volunteerism” award: Peyton Krevonick won the “Spirit of Youth” award. Peyton has been a 4-H member for 10 years, earned the Gold Award in Girl Scouts and is a member of the National Honor Society and Beta Club. An active member of Hanover’s Global Youth Service Day Planning Coalition for three years, she has become involved in Guiding Eyes for the Blind, already raising and training one service dog for the visually impaired. Owens & Minor was the sponsor of this year’s “Spirit of Youth” award and the company presented a check to Guiding Eyes for the Blind; this money will be used to help cover the recurring monthly medical costs to raise these dogs. There were two recipients of the “Spirit of Dedication” award – given to a volunteer aged 60 or older. Dutch Dorschel is involved in numerous volunteer programs, including Hanover TRIAD, Hanover Council on Aging, the Beaverdam Depot, Beaverdam Heritage Foundation, WHEAT, Hanover Wood Ministry and Beaverdam Ruritan Club.

graders achieved a perfect score. Other students at Battlefield Park Elementary who achieved outstanding results include fourth graders Adrew Dunn in the second meet and Lauren Schenack in the first meet. The students were coached in preparation for the WordMasters Challenge™ by Michele Moore and Judy Corker. The WordMasters Challenge™ is an exercise in
critical thinking that first encourages students to become familiar with a set of interesting new words (considerably harder than grade level), and then challenges them to use those words to complete analogies expressing various kinds of logical relationships. Working to solve the analogies helps students learn to think both analytically and metaphorically. Although most vocabulary enrichment and analogy-solving programs are designed for use by high school students, WordMasters Challenge™ mate-

Krista Loucas has had a constant presence at Kersey Creek Elementary School since it opened in 2006. She serves as chair of several PTA committees for the school and has been the facilitator of various fundraisers, grants and donations benefiting the school.

This award honors an individual who has volunteered for 20 years or more within a specific organization. Earl, as he is known, has more than 25 years of service with the Henry Fire Company. He has taught numerous entry-level volunteers the skills essential for firefighting and leadership roles. As district fire chief, Earl spent 10 years in the top leadership role of Fire Company #6. He currently serves as the administrative president, overseeing the day to day functions of the volunteer organization.

been a visible part of this community for decades and has donated countless items for local fundraisers and community events. Twice each month, Ron and Kathy Williams donate enough bread, cookies and pastries to the WHEAT food pantry to serve up to 100 families per month. This assistance alone serves more than 3,600 individuals each year. The Hanover Association of Businesses and Chamber of Commerce sponsored this award and presented a check to WHEAT, the Western Hanover Emergency Action Team, which will use it to purchase fresh food items to supplement the non-perishable items distributed by the food pantry. Sponsors for this year’s awards were Owens & Minor, Covenant Woods, Ashland Walmart, Battlefield Press Inc., Rappahannock Electric Cooperative, Grace Community Presbyterian Church and the Hanover Association of Businesses and Chamber of Commerce (HABCC). Each sponsor contributed $250 to the organization designated by the honoree during the nomination process. Radio and television personality Tim Timberlake was the guest host for the event. During this event, volunteers and past volunteers for Hanover’s Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) program were honored; this is the 25th anniversary of Hanover’s CASA program.

to those living with CF,” she said. Those who are unable to walk are asked to consider making a dontation and collecting donations from family and friends. Checks should be written to Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. All funds collected can be sent to Penny, who said she will make sure they get posted to ADAPT. “Just think,” she said, “if you collected $10.00 from 10 people you knew and they collected $10 from 10 people they knew, we would surpass our goal of $15,000 for sure!” Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a devastating genetic disease that affects tens
of thousands of children and young adults in the United States. Penny said that research and care supported by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation are making “a huge difference in extending the quality of life for those with CF.” “However, we continue to lose precious lives to CF every day. That’s why your help is needed now more than ever to ensure that a cure is found sooner — rather than later.

Cuccinelli: gubernatorial bid focusing on jobs and economy Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Attorney General Cuccinelli recently addressed a packed house at the Hanover County Republican Committee. More than 85 people gathered to listen to the Republican gubernatorial candidate give remarks about his race against Terry McAuliffe. Cuccinelli began by saying that the main focus of his campaign will be jobs and the economy -- just like it was in his 2009 race for attorney general. He also thanked the Republican club for all the hard work members put in to getting Republicans elected every year.
The attorney general highlighted his accomplishments in office, including his successful suit against the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), which, as he noted, saved Virginians about $250 million. Cuccinelli also discussed what he did before running for office. When he was a student at the University of Virginia he began a first-of-its-kind program to help sexual assault victims on campus. While in law school he worked the overnight shift at a homeless shelter in Arlington. He also did cases for the pro bono veterans consortium. He said another thing that
separates him from his opponent is his grassroots focus. He said he began as a volunteer so he understands how much it means to have people advocating for him on their own time. “Throw away the scripts!” Cuccinelli said. “I trust you to tell voters why you care, and why you are voting the way you are.” The Republican Party of Virginia will hold its convention Friday and Saturday, May 17-18, at which time the final slate will be determined. Nancy Russell serves as chair of the Hanover County Republican Committee. New members are welcome.

Training Corps) scholarship to the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington. Scholarships are awarded on a merit system in areas such as academic achievement, extra-
curricular activities, physical fitness, specific performance or accomplishment, leadership abilities, and personal interviews. Scholarship recipients are enrolled as members of the
ROTC Corps of Cadets. The scholarship entitlements include tuition and fees and an allowance of $600 per semester for educational assistance, textbooks, supplies and equipment,
and a monthly stipend for up to 10 months of each school year during the first year at the host college or university. Upon graduation from the host college and completion of
the ROTC program, the student cadet receives a bachelor’s degree and a commission of second lieutenant in the Army. Ortiz graduated in 2012 from Benedictine High School
the nominee did not appear at Wednesday’s meeting. I know Amy to be an informed and engaged parent and citizen,” Bland said. “She is most worthy of consideration for this important position.” Gladstone told the supervisors that she’s seen both boom and lean times in her nine years on the School Board. Through it all, Gladstone said the School Board has maintained its focus on providing new and expanding educational opportunities for Hanover students. “Public education is changing rapidly and being used more and more as a political tool,” Gladstone said. “We need to continue to re-evaluate what it is we do, how we do it and what external pressures we have to face.” Gladstone pointed to years on the School Board and a positive learning curve as good
preparation for an additional term. “I’ve spent the last nine years learning and growing as a member of the Hanover County School Board and I believe I have much more to offer in that role,” Gladstone said. The decision now falls on Hazzard. “I’d like to make it clear to all four nominees here tonight that I intend to get in touch with each one of you and we’ll do a personal interview between now and the time the nomination comes before us,” Hazzard told the applicants. While the South Anna pool of candidates may be crowded, the Cold Harbor appointment has already generated its share of controversy. Long-time Supervisor Elton Wade was quoted in a recent news article stating his intention to appoint Norm Sulser to the seat currently occupied by
Robert Wood. It’s not an issue of qualifications. Wade appointed both of them, but a change in district lines prevented him from reappointing Sulser 20 years ago. In a recent Richmond Times-Dispatch article, the Cold Harbor representative said he does not remember, but has come to believe as true, a promise he made to Sulser, his campaign manager for the past two supervisor runs, eight years ago promising him a seat on the School Board if he was re-elected. One of the nominees seeking the Cold Harbor seat made reference to the incident, and the reasoning behind Wade’s decision to choose Sulser. Paul Cash is a retired Navy aviator who most recently worked with Hanover Public Schools as its director of Building Services. He said he wants to serve the students, par-
ents and citizens as a member of the School Board, and will only take $1 a year in compensation if appointed. “I must say I was very disappointed when the nomination was announced in the paper over an unknown promise without due process for any other qualified individuals,” Cash said. “This is wrong and should not be tolerated by the Board [of Supervisors] or the citizens as a way to run our county and does not appear to truly represent the best interests of our children.” Wood, the incumbent, said he was proud of the accomplishments achieved by Hanover County schools during his tenure on the School Board. “All of you folks know who I am. We have much to be proud of in our school system. We have the best schools in the region, if not in the state,” Wood told the supervisors during his
nomination. He pointed to a good working relationship with the Board of Supervisors and a wellformed continuity with current School Board members as good qualifications for another term on the School Board. Sulser is a substitute teacher at Lee-Davis High School and spent 37 years working for the U.S. Treasury. He’s also been a reserve deputy sheriff for 24 years. Sulser pointed to a supportive community and good working relationship with the Board of Supervisors as strengths for the school system and its board. He served on the panel for eight years. “Most jobs in life take a team effort. The folks I’ve worked with on this board do the best for Hanover County,” Sulser said. Final announcements are expected at the board’s June 12 meeting.
CHIMPS
on them?” Davis questioned. “Certainly, Hanover County will be the deep pockets involved since you can never deny that you were aware of the risk.” Supervisor Ed Via of the Ashland District voiced a similar sentiment, and moved to deny the permit request. “Chimpanzees are dangerous, vicious animals, and the citizens of Hanover County should not be vulnerable to them,” Via said. “I’m not willing to take a chance on the safety of our citizens.” While other supervisors expressed an intention to deny the request, many stated an understanding of Shepperson’s motivations and recognized his
love for these animals. “If this was a matter of whether Mr. Shepperson is good people, then the matter would be settled,” said Sean Davis, who represents the Henry District on the Board of Supervisors. “I think you are good honest people.” Davis said he based his vote to deny on the facts surrounding the last escape, which was attributed to human error. Even with the improved security measures and upgraded facilities, Davis said eliminating that factor hasn’t been accomplished. “It wouldn’t have mattered what kind of facility you had. The management allowed that to happen,” Davis said.
Several supervisors expressed no desire to harm the chimps, but expressed hope that a safe sanctuary could be located in the six weeks until the June 23 deadline. Once the deadline passes, Shepperson could be charged with misdemeanor violations that carry a $250 fine for each offense. Taylor said he hoped it wouldn’t come to that. “It’s our hope that we find a place that will take the animals. I think we will have some options.” Angela Kelly-Wiecek, Chickahominy District supervisor, likened Shepperson’s situation to families who finally have to give up children. “At some point, you have
to let those children go,” KellyWiecek said. “You have some time between now and June 23. If you have the opportunity to take all six of these chimps and place them somewhere as an established family — and I believe that is the ideal for the welfare of these chimps — please make that sacrifice.” Elton Wade, the supervisor for the Cold Harbor District, posted the only opposing vote in a 7-1 tally denying Shepperson’s request. “I wish we could find a way to keep them, but it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen,” Wade said. Taylor said discussions with the sanctuary community are ongoing.

the zoo and said he has witnessed several escapes in his years as a neighbor. Davis left no ambiguity when expressing his desire to have the chimps removed at a public hearing last week. “It’s not a question of if they will get out again. It’s a question of when they will get out again,” Davis said. The former supervisor said he is anticipating his first grandchild, and the thought of him being harmed by a vicious animal is his paramount concern. “Is it fair to your constituents to impose this liability

Hanover one win from title By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com With an 11-1, 5-inning rout of Lee-Davis on Thursday night, the Hanover varsity baseball team moved one win away from locking up the Capital District regular season title. With either a victory at winless Highland Springs on Wednesday or a home win against Varina next Thursday, the Hawks (14-2, 9-1 Capital) can check one item off of their 2013 to-do list. “It was our goal at the beginning of the season,” said Hanover head coach Charlie Dragum. “Win the Capital District; the last Capital District for the regular season and get that automatic bid to the regionals.”
Both Hanover and LeeDavis came into the contest battling a layoff due to weather after rain twice postponed the matchup. While Hanover somehow managed to get in a 10-0 home win over Highland Springs on Monday night, rain kept Lee-Davis off the field for nearly a week. Hanover was sharp and efficient from the onset; the Confederates anything but, looking like a team that hadn’t seen live action in a while. “We got schooled here tonight but that’s really my fault,” said Lee-Davis head coach Kenny Lewis. “The weather got in on us but I think in retrospect I should have had some
more constructive preparation.” The Hawks made the most of three Lee-Davis errors, scoring 11 runs on just six hits. “That’s the number one thing we rely on,” said Hanover first baseman Jeff Decker. “If they make errors they’ve got to pay.” In the bottom of the first, Decker helped push in the first run of the night with the help of C-fed miscues. Following a walk of Andrew Knizner, Decker sent a shot past short that appeared to confuse the Lee-Davis defense allowing the lead runner to reach third. Then on a double steal, the throw went to second instead of home, catching Decker but allowing
Knizner to easily score and set the tone of the game. “Personally, to me I think it’s big,” said Hanover catcher Keith Searles. “You jump on them in the first inning it kind of stuns them.” Hanover pitcher Derek Casey agreed. “Make every opportunity count because, we say the first inning is just as important at the last inning.” The Hawks added two more runs in the bottom of the see BASEBALL, pg. 37 ` Charlie Leffler/The Local

Patrick Henry downs Hawks’ softball 2-0 By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local In a pitcher’s duel between the Capital and Colonial districts Friday, the Colonial District team came out on top. Patrick Henry’s Candace Whittemore won the duel, striking out four and holding visiting Hanover to just three hits in a 2-0 complete game victory over the Hawks. Hanover starter Kiandra Mitchum scattered five hits, likewise striking out four, and giving up both of the Patriots’ runs in five innings of work. Shannon Albright came in for one inning of relief for the Hawks (10-4). Patrick Henry was led offensively by first baseman Hunter Glave, who had two hits and an RBI in three appearances at the plate. Catcher Ashley Samuels had a double and her courtesy runner, Abby Clement scored a run. “Candace never ceases to amaze me – such a tiny little person can sling the ball so well,” said Patrick Henry coach Shelby Webb. “She moved it around, mixed it up.

job done for us.” Whittemore credited her defense, which – despite two early errors – gave her critical support. “I always have faith in my defense,” Whittemore said. “They always pull through for me.” One inning where the
defense pulled through was in the third, where the Patriots (14-2) held the Hawks with runners at second and third with just one out. The Patrick Henry defense snapped shut on Hanover again in the fourth inning, ended another scoring threat – and the inning – with a 4-6-3 double play.
Webb said it was one of Whittemore’s best performances, especially given how hot the Hawks had been the past few games. “Hanover’s been putting up a lot of runs,” Webb said. “For us to come in and shut them out, that says a lot about us being able to hopefully compete in the
regionals where we have to go up against the Capital District.” Hanover coach Brian Letourneau said the Hawks struggled at the plate. “We didn’t have many hits. We kind of scattered them,” Letourneau said. “We had some good contact. Sometimes we hit the ball hard, but it was right at them. ... Even in that last inning we hit a hard one-hopper right at the third baseman. If that’s 3 feet to her right or left, that’s through, it’s a hit and it may be a different inning.” Kaylyn Shepherd led Hanover with two hits. Patrick Henry broke the scoreless deadlock in the fourth inning. Samuels led off with a double. Clement came in to run for her, and Glave knocked Clement in with a single. The Patriots got their second run in the fifth. With one out, second baseman Beth Ford reached on an error and advanced to second on a wild pitch. After another out, she moved to third on a single by shortstop Paige Mitchell. Ford then scored on a passed ball. Patrick Henry is undefeated
in Colonial District play, but has yet to face rival J.R. Tucker. “Our goal has been to finish on top of the district. We’ve worked really well towards that goal and we’re almost there,” Webb said. “I tell [the Patriots] do what we do and do it well – just staying mentally focused and going slow, trying not to get ahead of ourselves.” For the Hawks, the situation is more complex. “Right now, technically we’re tied with Lee-Davis, but they beat us the first time,” Letourneau said. “We have them at home on Monday (after press deadlines). If we get that game and take care of business the rest of [the] week, we’ll wrap the two seed which is our goal. Our girls, if they want to be the home team in that semifinal, and if Glen Allen can knock off Atlee and make it more interesting, I would definitely appreciate it.” Patrick Henry..... 000 110 0 — 2 5 2 Hanover.............. 000 000 0 — 0 3 2 Mitchum, Albright (6) and Long.

Hanover’s Polk and Healy claim doubles title By JP Beauchamp sports@mechlocal.com After battling weather conflicts and dancing between the raindrops over the course of the week, the Capital District boys’ tennis championships finally came to a close Friday with victories for Henrico, Hanover and Atlee High Schools. Junior Shyam Venkat of Henrico captured his third consecutive district singles title by defeating Hanover junior Danny Polk (61, 6-3). However, Polk together with senior partner Connor Healy battled back to defeat Henrico’s Venkat and Jake
36
Weber (6-3, 3-6, 6-2) to capture the Capital District doubles crown. Thomas Rishcoff of Atlee defeated Armstrong’s Mohammed Gueye for third place in the consolation match. For Polk, his time on the courts was bittersweet. Having handed Venkat his first and only career defeat in the district the first time they met this season, Polk came in hungry anticipating a similar outcome, only to be disappointed with the loss. “Polk has had a good year,” said Hanover Coach Aaron
The Mechanicsville Local May 15, 2013
Bradley. “He defeated Shyam earlier in the year in the match at our place; so we knew he was capable to compete with him. He had a lot of confidence going into the match. It just didn’t go his way this time. The opponent was just hitting great shots. He doesn’t make a lot of mistakes.” Polk was disappointed with the loss, feeling he could have played better. “That was nice getting it that last time,” he said. “Obviously I wanted the ‘W’ today more, but he played well today. I had a lot of chances in my second set to go up early
and I kind of blew them, but it happens.” The courts at Henrico slope down, so the strategy for both players was to attack heavily on the back ends. The wind was also a factor depending on what side the players were on. “If you held (serve) over there;” Polk indicated the far side of the court, “which made the difference on the second set. That got him the set.” In doubles, Polk vindicated himself with Healy. The pair came into the match with only two losses for the season, one each against strong opponents
Henrico and Cosby. Although the two have only played this year together, Bradley noted significant improvement in their team play. “They’ve come together pretty quickly in order to make it to the district finals here, giving it a run.” Bradley anticipated the pair’s potential prior to the match. “I think that they’re going to give them a run,” he said. “They’re not thinking that they’re going to settle for second. They’re competing to win it.” Polk’s feelings were similar. “We played them [in doubles] earlier in the season, and it was
close, so I think definitely we can get them this time.” For Polk and Healy, the final Capital District Tournament ended on a high note leaving both smiling. “It was awesome.” Healy said. “We hit a little wall called the second set. We got a little frustrated here and there; but we felt we were the better players and all.” Bradley likewise was pleased with the outcome. “It was a great match to see them battle back after losing the second set and get it done in the third.” see POLK, pg. 40 `
Nemeckova takes two titles for Confederates
By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The Lee-Davis girls’ tennis team picked up a pair of Capital District titles late Friday night after a grueling week that included a change of venue and long hours. Lee-Davis sophomore Pavla Nemeckova defeated Atlee sophomore Emily Wills 6-2, 63 to take the district singles championship. Nemeckova then teamed up with junior Chelsea Matthews to down Wills and her sister Madelyn 5-7, 6-3, 64 to take the district doubles championship. “It’s awesome,” Nemeckova said. “I was confident in singles but the doubles I’m really glad we got that. It was a hard match. We lost the first set. We can’t just stop trying. We just have to
play our best.” Madelyn Wills felt she and her sister put everything they had into the doubles championship but just came up short. “I felt like we gave them every trick in the book and we would have it and they would figure it out,” she said. “We gave them everything we knew to do and when it came down to it, it could have gone either way it was so close.” Weather delays not only threw a wrench in the tournament schedule but created two marathon days of tennis for the young athletes who were also undergoing AP testing. Originally scheduled to be played at Varina, the opening rounds were moved to Burkwood on Tuesday. By Thursday, the teams finally got
to play at Varina but paid the price in make-up matches. Both Nemeckova and Emily Wills logged nearly 13 hours on the court over a two-day span, playing until nearly 11 p.m. both Thursday and Friday. “Pavla doesn’t seem to wear out at all,” said Lee-Davis head coach Nancy Sheridan. “She can go on and on. Never complains about hurting, tired anything.” Nemeckova defeated Madelyn Wills 6-3, 6-0 in the quarterfinals then downed Hanover’s Laurel Mouer 6-1, 60 in the semis to advance to the championship. “She played very well. She kept her cool,” Sheridan said. “Every now and then when she gets down she brings it back very well. That’s one very good trait as far as Pavla is concerned.

was bobbled. Gilliam then made the margin 7-0 off a Gregory shot to center. Lee-Davis center fielder Patrick Holler provided the only bright spot for the Confederates on the night. Holler came to the mound in the bottom of the fourth, notched a pair of strikeouts and held the Hawks scoreless for the first time in the game. In the top of the fifth, Holler led off with a single to center, advanced to second on a walk of Andrew Sergant, stole third, then scored on Brett Langhorne’s shot to second. However, things fell apart of the Lee-Davis defense in the bottom of the inning. Richardson reached on a one-out pass ball which was not fielded. A single to center by Gregory put two Hawks on and a walk of Whitlow loaded the bases. Josh Shepherd and Knizner were both hit by pitches to drive in runs and a walk of Decker pushed the lead to 10-1. Searles then ended the con-
test early with a walk-off single up the middle. While the Hawks’ offense took advantage of situation, Casey turned in another solid performance on the mound, notching eight strikeouts over five innings of work in what was most likely his final start of the regular season. “The last big district game I’ll be pitching this year,” Casey said. “I was excited coming out knowing I had to get a big win for my team.” Casey started the game with a three-pitch strikeout of Langhorne and did not ease up from there. “He throws really hard and he’s getting his breaking ball back,” Dragum said. “When he’s doing that he’s really tough.” For Lee-Davis, the loss closed out a five-game winning streak. “We had a little momentum going then we broke it,” Lewis said. “I think that they’re bothered by it and certainly sorry and I’m embarrassed and we have to come back tomorrow and bounce back.”

second. Third baseman Trevor Denton reached on a lead-off walk, stole second on pitch in the dirt and made his way to third on a bunt from Chris Gilliam (2-for-3, 2 runs). Denton then came home on a one-out groundout to third by John Gregory (2-for-3, 2 RBI). Gilliam pushed the lead to 30 after Brett Whitlow’s infield pop-up was dropped by the LeeDavis defense. The Hawks broke the game open in the bottom of the third. With two outs, Decker singled to short left then scored on a double to left center by Searles. Taylor McDougal, pinchrunning for Searles, scored when Denton dropped a single in left just out of reach of a sliding Josh Lam. Denton reached third when Gilliam placed a fly ball just inside the right field line and came home on a Caymen Richardson shot to short that

Lee-Davis came into the contest preceded by the success of their multi-pitcher rotation after last week’s wins over Atlee and Varina. The Hanover coaches knew there was little they could physically do to prepare the Hawks for such a scenario other than warn their players. “We knew if they did it to Atlee they were going to do it to us,” Searles said. “It’s really a mindset. We couldn’t get on the field; we couldn’t throw multiple pitchers so we just had to come up with a mindset and know that and get it done.” To close out the regular season, the Hawks plan to focus all of their energy on getting the win at Highland Springs but the Varina game has a target of its own. The Blue Devils caught the Hawks off guard earlier in the season and handed them their only league loss. “I’m embarrassed to say I was coaching that game because we came out flat and basically nothing we said could get these guys up,” Dragum said. “That’s a perfect example that anybody
can beat you. You’ve got to come with that intensity and we did that.” However, now both players and coach believe that loss will benefit the team in the long run. “If there’s such a thing as a good loss, it was. I think the kids learned from it,” Dragum said. Decker agreed. “Coming out with no energy we’ll lose every time and that’s what we did at Varina,” he said. “Every other game we’ve had energy we’ve won.” The Hawks plan on using that energy against the Springers so they can concentrate on getting even with Varina to close out the regular season. “We’re going out everything we’ve got against Highland Springs,” Decker said. “Varina is senior night and we’re going out 100 percent. There’s no way we give that game up. We’re going out 100 percent.” Lee-Davis suffered a further setback by losing to Glen Allen 3-0 on Friday night. The loss puts the Confederates in a must-

She displayed equal determination and meddle to reach the final day of play. Wills opened the tournament with a 6-3, 6-0 win over Henrico’s Sushma Mandava. On Thursday, Wills began her day with a one-hour singles win over Hanover’s Taylor Custalow, 6-0, 6-1. Following a half hour break, Wills returned to the court for a marathon match with Glen Allen’s Karen Pak. In a three and a half hour marathon, Wills came out on top 4-6, 6-4, 6-4. But her day was not finished. see NEMECKOVA, pg. 40 `

Jacob Mayers: Life on the baseball field Hanover alum reflects on past and future as his playing days in Richmond near an end By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Like thousands of other athletes across the country, Jacob Mayers is coming face-to-face with the end of his college baseball career. While Mayers’ talent shows promise of carrying him on to the professional level, odds are that after this weekend he will never play another baseball game in the Richmond area. Such a predicament is not easy to accept for a young man who has been a force in the sport throughout the region for nearly a decade. “It’s kind of heartbreaking,” he said. “You grow up so fast. I remember my first tee-ball, where my mom set up the game without my dad knowing he was going to be the head coach of the team…I remember it like it was yesterday, and now I’m finishing college and I’m going to be done with college baseball in a couple of weeks. So it’s— life goes by so fast. It really does.” On May 5, Mayers played his final home game at the University of Richmond. This weekend, he and the Spiders will wrap up their regular season at The Diamond against VCU. Looking back on his college career, growth is the one term Mayers uses to sum things up. “I’ve gone from freshman year to now, I’ve really changed drastically from the person I was four years ago,” he said. Mayers’ baseball career has been anything but average. He has seen extremes in highs and lows throughout his life on the field. The son of Tommy and Dale Mayers grew up playing tee-ball in Hanover County and went on to become a
high school superstar for the Hanover Hawks. Mayers was an All-Capital District first team member throughout his high school career. As a junior he was named Capital District Player of the Year after he led Hanover to the district championship. As a senior he carried Hanover to the AAA state championship game and was the top-rated player in the state of Virginia earning state, regional and district Player of the Year honors. Mayers’ talent also drew the interest of Major League Baseball and the Boston Red Sox, but he ended up attending college instead. He got off to a phenomenal start in his freshman season at UR, starting seven times and seeing action in the first 12 games, recording nine hits and two home runs. But one poor decision off the field changed his life forever. Following a much misguided spring break exploit, Mayers was one of three Spiders charged with felony burglary and grand larceny. He was convicted on the reduced charge of stealing from dorm rooms and sentenced to 12 months in
jail for each charge however, that outcome was suspended and he and the others were placed on probation and ordered to pay restitution. Looking back on the incident four years later, Mayers said it was definite proof of his immaturity and the fact that he had no business playing professional baseball straight out of high school. Serving out a baseball suspension over the remainder of his freshman season, Mayers was allowed to return to the Spiders as a sophomore. He now feels the past three years in college baseball have made him a different man. “I mean you really become a very mature person just being a part of a club like this (with) a great coaching staff,” he said. “You pretty much
become a person that you never though you’d become.” Mayers’ conduct has been exemplary over the past three seasons and he has redeemed himself both on and off the baseball field. While Mayers battled adversity off the field during his first year in Richmond, he faced on the field difficulties as a senior. After suffering an arm injury at the end of his junior year, Mayers did not think he would be able to pitch in his final season with the Spiders. “I honestly thought I was not going to be getting back on the mound at all with just how my arm was feeling, coming back from my injury,” he said. “I just didn’t think my arm would allow me to get on the mound.” However, as the season went on, Mayers made a remarkable recovery
and eventually did get to the mound. “My arm kept getting stronger and stronger so it’s like, you know what, I’m going to give it a try,” he said. Still he was hesitant, wondering if he was only doing more damage. “There was a couple times there like, ‘Ah, maybe not,’ but the more and more I threw on the mound it started feeling a lot better,” he said. Mayers saw his first action as a reliever and eventually worked himself back into the starting rotation. With eight appearances and five starts, Mayers leads the team with 1.40 ERA. He made his fifth start of the season at Fordham on Sunday and notched a complete game win giving up two unearned runs while striking out four as the Spiders won their 30th game of

the season. On offense, Mayers also leads the Spiders with a team best .369 hitting, a .555 slugging percentage, .448 on base percentage, 101 total bases and a team high seven home runs. He will graduate from UR as one of the best all around players in program history, currently holding a .340 career batting average, with 34 doubles, 21 home runs and 102 RBI. As a pitcher, he ranks seventh in school history with a 3.34 career ERA while recording 143 strikeouts. “It’s amazing, but all I was doing was trying to help this team win,” he said. “It’s going to end up like that but the main mindset was trying to win a championship here.” While he could have gone elsewhere, Mayers has never regretted his decision to stay close to home. “That’s one of the main reasons I came to Richmond for, it was local and stuff,” he said. “My family can come and watch games. My grandfather can come and give his input on the games and stuff and my grandmother hasn’t missed a home game yet this season. It’s been great having the support of having my family there rooting me on. You can’t ask for anything better than that.” The thoughts of family are also what led Mayers to make, perhaps his best move on the mound following his final game at Pitt Field; a play that drew national attention and nearly 47,000 hits on YouTube. Mayers lured his girlfriend Lauren Olszewski to the mound under the guise of posing for a senior day photo. When she turned to head back to the sidelines, Mayers pulled see MAYERS, pg. 39 `

Now with his college career wrapping up and a new family in the making, Mayers faces an uncertain future, but he will step into it with the same demeanor he has approached the game that has defined his life. “Life after college, very unpredictable,” he said. “I’m really not sure what’s going to happen. We’re going to see how the draft works out. Then if that doesn’t work out I might go into coaching or possible advertising jobs.

It was a great weekend for travel baseball at Poor Farm Park in Ashland. The Hanover Maters won the 12U Division while three Hanover County teams reached the semifinals. The Maters defeated the Hanover Extreme in the semifinals then won the championship with a victory over Hanover Sports.
Atlee Little League, now in its 45th year, held it’s opening day ceremony on April 13. All 68 teams lined up along the baselines and listen to a brief history of the league presented by League President John Swierczewski. The league has more than 700 players this spring. The National Anthem was sung by Lauren Lamb. The opening pitch was tossed by Dick’s Sporting Goods, Ryan Ross. Play Ball!
Congratulations to Sam Owens who recently won the state wrestling tournament in his age group and weight class. This win qualified him to compete in the VA MD Challenge where he placed first, pinning all three of his opponents. Sam then competed at the East Coast Nationals where he placed first in the 8-andunder division and third in the 10-year-old division. Sam wrestled for Smackdown this year and for Chickahominy Wrestling Club the previous two years. Submitted by Brandon T. Owens

After a short break, Wills was back on the court along side her sister in the semifinals to take on Varina’s Toni McDonald and Zollisca Sunkins. The match was eventually suspended due to the lateness of the hour. “She basically played from 4 p.m. to 11 p.m. with two 30 minute pauses in between,” Hansen said. “Tremendous amount of endurance. That’s remarkable for whoever the athlete is. That much tennis in that length of time.” The coach pointed out it was Wills’ determination that

In his final season at Atlee Rishcoff was similarly enthused with his win (6-2, 6-1) against Gueye, “I started off with a tough loss against Mohammed. He had the third seed going into the tournament and I was trying to redeem myself, so I had a tough draw ‘cause I ended up having to play Shyam (Venkat) in the semis versus Danny (Polk) or Mohammed. So, it was a bit of a tough draw; but I knew I was going to have to get Mohammed in the end.

carried her and the player confirmed she can be relentless. “I’ve had a nickname that’s Mdon’t-quit and I’ve had it for like six years pretty much,” she said. “When I set my mind to something I want to win. I do my best.” The sisters returned to the court on Friday afternoon to wrap things up and came away with the win 6-1, 6-4 to earn a berth in the championship. “I’ve just been playing nonstop,” Wills said after the tournament wrapped. “It’s definitely been exhausting and I was actually shocked last night that I won because I was down the first set and came back and won
a really close set. Definitely felt like I was running on adrenaline our last doubles match but we pulled it out. I pretty tired. I think I pulled something in my back but it’s worth it.” Nemeckova and Matthews also finished their semifinal doubles match on Friday afternoon in epic fashion, edging out Glen Allen’s Pak and Julia Jackson 6-1, 6-7 (7-5), 7-6 (86) in a classic. “It as neck and neck, it could have been anybody’s game,” Sheridan said. “Both of them hang in there.” Only in the United States for a single year, Nemeckova feels the championships are a new
“It kind of shocked me,” Rischoff said. “He came in, he’s a great player. The second time I came in, I came in kind of hungry. I got the win—beat him. Obviously, I just beat him again. So, I felt like it was a great way to finish my senior year strong.” Getting off to a slow start, Rishcoff’s strategy was to keep Mohammad moving on the court and play the ball low to his backhand. “I knew he’s got a great serve,” Rishcoff said. “He’s got a great forehand; he could control points. I knew that I had to keep it low, move him around the courts a little bit ‘cause if he
gets in control of the points, it’s going to be hard to beat him.” Rishcoff, who as a freshman started off at number two, moved to the number one slot and remained there since his sophomore year. “It’s really great being a leader on the team,” he said. “I really love all the kids I play with here. Couldn’t say I had a bad experience. I feel good to come out and represent Atlee for the last time and get the win.”

benchmark. “I’ve been playing tennis since I was a little kid so this is like the top of my career,” she said. However, the young tennis player has displayed the potential to make a huge impact on the Central Region tournament as well, now sporting a 12-0 record on the season. Nemeckova really doesn’t know how good she is in comparison to region talent but feels she can do well. “I’ve played people from the district and I’ve played Mills Godwin’s #1 (Abigail Randolph) and I heard she’s really good, so I feel kind of confident about going there,” Nemeckova said. “My goal is to make states.” However, her knowledge coach knows Nemeckova’s potential to go far. “She has stood out very much all year,” Sheridan said. “She came into the district with a 9-0 record and hasn’t lost a match all season.” Hansen is also confident in the potential of his players. “With these two? I feel great,” he said. “I feel absolutely fantastic with these two. “Regionals, I’m not even concerned yet. I couldn’t have been prouder about any two girls ever that have been out here. They left everything out

on the court.” For the sisters it will be a chance to close out the season doing something they’ve always wanted to do; play high school tennis together. “I’m really glad that we’re going to regionals because this is her last year,” Emily said. “That was our goal to get to regionals so we can just have fun our last match and play loose so I’m just glad we made it to the finals.” Madelyn believes they may still have a few tricks up their sleeve for regional competition. “Being as we’re sisters I feel
like we have a special chemistry kind of and it’s hard for us to get mad at each other,” she said. “We’re really close sisters too which is rare I think.” The Central Region individual championship begins in two weeks at Mills Godwin. The Central Region team championships begin this week. Hanover won the regular season team title and they will be joined in regional play by Glen Allen. Singles final: Nemeckova (LD) d. E. Wills (ATL) 6-2, 6-3 Doubles Final: Nemeckova/ Matthews (LD) d. E. Wills/M. Wills (ATL) 5-7, 6-3, 6-4
