Residents raised their hands when asked who wanted to speak in opposition to the Atlee area apartment project during last week’s meeting of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors.
Opposition doesn’t sway apartment vote By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local It came down to a question of property rights last Wednesday when the Hanover County Board of Supervisors considered a rezoning application to allow a developer to build 172 apartments on 21 acres located near the intersection of Atlee Station and Kings Acres Roads. The supervisors approved the rezoning application with
a 4-3 vote that exposed the bitter reality that property rights are often lie in the eye of the beholder. Mac Chenault spoke on behalf of the applicants, the Shaia family, and said denying an application that met all county requirements was catamount to a denial of a landowner’s right to develop their property. “The question before the see APARTMENT, pg. 4

board tonight is not whether this property should be classified as high density residential or not. That question has been decided,” Chenault said. “The question is citizens should be allowed to develop a property when he has met and followed every requirement placed on this type of development. The question is: Do these applicants have property rights?” The Shaias originally obtained zoning to build 112 condominiums on the site in 2006, but sought the board’s approval to change that plan to apartments and an increased density of 8.4 units per acre. Chenault pointed to the family’s excellent history as property owners and managers of Charter Creek Apartments and the King’s Charter subdivision. He also cited their readiness to make improvements to the intersection at Kings Acres and Atlee Station Road, including right hand turn lanes, pay substantial proffers, and increase

istrator of the “Scholarship Access Network,” a volunteer overseas teacher of the Assisting Individuals with
pedestrian access in the area. “The applicants have complied with every suggested change the planning staff have made,” Chenault said. Local developer and King’s Charter resident Larry Shaia said the new apartments called Charleston Ridge would include upscale amenities, a recreation area and pool. “Someone is going to develop this property. Why not have a developer who lives, works and is known in the community?” Shaia asked. A number of businesses located adjacent to the proposed project provided letters of support for the application, many of them from the adjacent Kings Charter Shopping Center. Planning Director David Maloney said it is not unusual for developers to seek adjustments to conceptual plans or rezonings as market conditions warrant. About a dozen speakers saw the issue differently, and pointed to current property owners and their rights as county taxpayers. Paul Scott spoke for his
mother, Ann, who owns the tract of land adjacent to the proposed development. “Ms. Scott is a lifelong resident of Hanover. She and her preceding generations have lived in Hanover since 1875, the majority of that time on the present property,” Scott said. Scott said portions of the land identified in the plan were the site of a Civil War battlefield, but Maloney said it doesn’t appear on any county historical maps. Dale Taylor said she is leery of promises of increased revenue from growth in general. “Residential development has never paid for itself — never will and never has,” Taylor said. “When you add the density of these apartments into the mix, you will create an even greater negative balance in the county’s balance sheet,” she said. “The benefits go to the developers, and the costs go to the taxpayers. Current residents also have property rights.” Several pointed to a perceived bait and switch tactic being employed by developers to obtain approval for apart-
ments as opposed to condos. Project opponents also expressed a desire for homeowners in the county, and said apartment dwellers often increase crime rates, overburden the school system, and increase demand for service calls. Chenault displayed figures from King’s Charter that seemed to dispute those claims. He also addressed the perceived belief that apartment residents don’t pay property taxes. While apartment residents do not write a check to the county, their property taxes are included in rent payments, and owners do pay property taxes to the county. Chickahominy District Supervisor Angela KellyWiecek worked through a long list of questions addressing every aspect of the proposal. She questioned David Myers, assistant superintendent of schools, regarding capacity in the three schools that would be affected by the estimated 93 students who would be added

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
LETTERS
How much impact will you really have?
| Reader Views
Seven folks have stepped forward and expressed an interest in the two seats that are becoming available for appointment to the Hanover County School Board. Since this is among the responsibilities — or privileges, depending on how you want to categorize it — of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, Elton Wade and Wayne Hazzard, who represent the Cold Harbor and South Anna districts, will announce their appointments at the June 12 regular meeting. The supervisors have found themselves in the public eye a bit more than usual with the proffers issue, budget season and now the School Board seats. All three issues have prompted significant interest from our readers. And we certainly welcome your opinion and input. But, when it’s all said and done in a few weeks, will you, as residents and voters, have had any influence in the selection process? Only time will tell. Wade has already gone public — on this page as a matter of fact — of his support of Norm Sulser. Today we see a letter of support for current School Board chair and South Anna representative Ann Gladstone to retain her seat. Still no word from Hazzard (or even rumor, for that matter) on his plans. Now this writer, as was stated here three weeks ago, favors an elected School Board. That way, we really get a voice in the process. Do you think you have that now? Anyway, in addition to Gladstone, the Friends of Hanover Schools in the letter you see on this page endorse Paul Cash for the Cold Harbor spot. Sulser also gets a boost in another letter in today’s edition. At the May 8 regular meeting, the supervisors were approached by Gladstone, Sue Dibble and Lynn Hargrove for the South Anna seat while Pattie Bland nominated Amy Mendelson Cheeley. Seeking the Cold Harbor position are current member Robert Wood, Cash and Sulser. County government has definitely become more intense in recent years and we know that is due in great part to funding issues, or lack thereof. This School Board situation, however, is a whole other ball game. Who winds up on first has yet to be determined. But your best bet is to stay involved. If we’re going to go with the sports metaphor, batter up. Melody Kinser

School Board appointments need a process for selection We are writing today to voice our displeasure in the appointment process, or lack thereof, to the Hanover County School Board. In recent weeks it has been rumored that the current chair of the School Board, Ann Gladstone, would not be reappointed to her position as the representative of the South Anna District. It also has been mentioned in the May 8 edition of The Mechanicsville Local that Elton Wade would not be reappointing Robert Wood as the representative of the Cold Harbor District, and had already selected Norm Sulser as his replacement. That same night, the Hanover County Board of Supervisors heard public comment on nominations. This appears to be poor timing and evidence of a lack of appropriate process. In the case of Gladstone, she has ably served on the School Board for nine years, most recently with the vote of confidence from her peers, two years as vice chair and the past year as chair. As such, she has helped guide Hanover County stakeholders through several difficult years of budget cuts, all while keeping the best interest of the students at heart. She continues to go above and beyond her duties as a School Board member, in continuing to volunteer with additional necessary tasks. Most recently, she was one of two School Board members who volunteered time to serve on the 2012-2018 LongRange Planning Committee, and subsequently was the only School Board member to volunteer on the Long-Range Plan Action Teams. While other candidates may have business experience and may be dedicated school volunteers, Friends of Hanover Schools endorses Gladstone because of her School Board experience, proven leadership and record of always putting student interests first. Our students and schools should continue to reap the benefits of her able and willing leadership. Regarding the Cold Harbor representative to the School Board, there are three qualified candidates. Friends of Hanover Schools endorses Paul Cash, who brings a gamut of experience not often seen from professional educators. He has served our country as a captain in the U.S. Navy for 27 years before beginning 14 years of service in Hanover County Public Schools. He worked in schools as an alternative education teacher and as an assistant principal at Patrick Henry High School. He finished his career at the School Board Office as the
director of Building Services, maintaining our school facilities as safe and comfortable learning environments, while ably helping make efficiency changes allowing HCPS to weather the storm of the recent budget woes. Cash’s career in education has made him accountable to all stakeholders in a way that not many others can claim. He also has proposed to serve on the School Board for $1 a year, saving the taxpayers the cost of his stipend. Also in Cold Harbor, Robert Wood has served multiple successful terms, and his reappointment would not be a bad thing. The third candidate is Norm Sulser, who previously served on the School Board from 1985-1993, but who, it seems, has been promised the appointment as a quid pro quo payment for his work on Supervisor Elton Wade’s reelection campaign. Friends of Hanover Schools cannot support Mr. Sulser’s appointment for obvious ethical reasons. In fairness to all of the citizens in Hanover County, the supervisors in every district should be held accountable for their appointments to the School Board, but also to the manner in which the selections are made. When it comes to the foundation of educating the next generation of citizens and leaders, using political ideology or quid pro quo arrangements to make appointments is a poor example from “the top.” Politics are obviously a part of local government; however, in the case of appointed school boards, they should not be. The best interest of our children should be the only consideration, not the party affiliation, political ideology or quid pro quo arrangements of our leaders.

caused a reaction would be an understatement. Suffice it to say, there were some supporters and some who were less than pleased to hear what I had to say. I was most surprised to hear from a successful sales manager who was open, and understanding and spoke with graceful self awareness. This man spoke with such insight that I was able to see that I myself had used bully tactics in my rush to protect my child. He and I have agreed that we have very different methods of expressing ourselves and different parenting styles, but I am clear that he loves and is devoted to his children. This man admits he is a work in progress and I would like to state publicly that I am too.

I started teaching at Patrick Henry High School in 1980, and have been at Lee-Davis High School for the past 28 years. As the considerations continue regarding nominations for our local School Board, I would like to state why I support Norman Sulser. I believe that the greatest qualification for serving on the School Board is extensive knowledge of the daily demands placed upon our students, teachers and administrators. Sulser has served as one of the most requested substitutes for the past 12 years at LeeDavis High School. During this time he has worked 12 times as a long-term sub where he performed all functions (planning, creating quizzes/tests,

PUBLIC NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the Hanover County Planning Commission has set Thursday, June 13, 2013, at 7:00 P.M., in the Board Room of the Hanover County Government Building at Hanover Courthouse, Hanover, Virginia, as the day, date, time, and place for a public hearing to consider the following amendment to the adopted Comprehensive Plan for Hanover County, Virginia, at which public comments will be accepted: COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT 12-01 Five Year Update A major amendment to the Comprehensive Plan for Hanover County, Virginia, adopted March 28, 2007, pursuant to Section 15.2-2204, 15.2-2223 through 15.2-2232 of the Code of Virginia, 1950, as amended, is being considered. The proposed amendments will include text changes as well as changes to Comprehensive Plan maps. In general, changes to the text include: reformatting, updating existing data including population growth forecast assumptions, update Community Facility planning based on new population growth forecasts, adding information from various studies and data sources and adding two new policy initiatives. The two major policy initiatives that are being proposed are (1) allowing individual service connections for public water and sewer beyond the boundaries of the Suburban Service Area (SSA) when properties are adjacent to existing public utility easements and (2) policies and ordinances be evaluated to assure that the maximum achievable residential density under any zoning district is 15 units per acre. The changes to the Comprehensive Plan maps include amendments as recommended by the Planning Commission following a series of community meetings and work sessions. The changes to the Comprehensive Plan maps are generally summarized as follows: General Land Use Plan Map • Inclusion of three (3) new land use designations: (1) Multi-Use--a designation for master planned communities characterized by employment intensive uses and residential uses; (2) Business-Industrial--a designation for commercial uses integrated with limited industrial uses; and (3) Rural Village--a designation for commercial uses to serve local rural areas and low density residential uses. • Elimination of the Office-Service designation. • Integration of the Suburban Transitional (1-2 dwelling units per acre) residential designation with the Suburban General (2-4 dwelling units per acre) for a combined Suburban General (1-4 dwelling units per acre) residential designation. • Identification of the area governed by the Mechanicsville Small Area Plan and references to that Plan for specific land use designations. • Addition of Commercial, Multi-Use, Suburban High (4-8 dwelling units per acre) residential, and Suburban General (1-4 dwelling units per acre) residential designations in the area bounded by Mountain Road (U.S. Route 33) and Greenwood Road (State Route 625) on the east and north, Ashland Road (State Route 623) on the west and north, and the Chickahominy River on the south. • Addition of a Commercial node designation at the intersection of Cedar Lane (State Route 623) and a proposed future Major Collector (100-ft ROW). • Addition of Multi-Use, Suburban High (4-8 dwelling units per acre) residential and Business-Industrial designations in the area bounded by Washington Highway (U.S. Route 1) on the east, Holly Hill Road (State Route 713) on the west, the Chickahominy River on the South, and Stony Run Creek on the north (two alternative land use configurations to be considered). • Addition of the Business-Industrial designation east of Interstate 95 and Limited Industrial designation west of Interstate 95 in the vicinity of Sliding Hill Road (State Route 656). • Addition of the Business-Industrial designation in the area generally encompassed by Washington Highway (U.S. Route 1) bounded by Cobbs Road (State Route 801) and North Lakeridge Parkway (State Route 782) on the north, North Lakeridge Parkway (State Route 782) and Lickinghole Creek on the east, and Stony Run Creek on the west and south. • Addition of the Multi-Use designation in the area generally along the west line of Washington Highway (U.S. Route 1) south of the Town of Ashland and north of Cobbs Road (State Route 801). • Modification of the Destination Commerce designation at the general vicinity of the intersection of North Lakeridge Parkway (State Route 782) and Lewistown Road (State Route 802). • Modification of the Commercial and Suburban General (1-4 dwelling units per acre) residential designations in the general vicinity of Cudlipp Avenue (State Route 1206) at Chamberlayne Road (U.S. Route 301). • Addition of a Commercial designation in the general vicinity of Whippoorwill Road (State Route 653) and Chamberlayne Road (U.S. Route 301). • Addition of Multi-Use designation in the area generally along Chamberlayne Road (U.S. Route 301) in the vicinity of New Ashcake Road (State Route 643), Rural Point Road (State Route 643), and Kirby Cove Lane (Private road). • Change from the Office-Service designation (which is proposed to be eliminated as a designation within the Comprehensive Plan) to the Commercial designation in the general vicinity of the intersection of Old Lansdown Road (State Route 1243) and Chamberlayne Road (U.S. Route 301). • Modification of the current Commercial designation and the addition of the Multi-Use designation in the general vicinity of Kings Dominion Boulevard (State Route 30) and Washington Highway (U.S. Route 1). • Addition of Multi-Use designation in the general vicinity of Creighton Parkway (State Route 615) and Mechanicsville Turnpike (U.S. Route 360). • Extension of the Commercial designation in the area generally along Meadowbridge Road (State Route 627) southwest of the existing Commercial designation. • Addition of the Suburban High (4-8 dwelling units per acre) residential designation in the area generally along the east line of Lee-Davis Road (State Route 643) behind the Hanover Village Shopping Center. • Addition of the Multi-Use designation in the general vicinity of Creighton Road (State Route 615) east of Interstate 295 and modification of the Commercial and Industrial designations in the general vicinity of the area along Creighton Road (State Route 615) west of Interstate 295. • Addition of the Multi-Use designation in the general vicinity of the area along Pole Green Road (State Route 627) east of Shady Grove Road (State Route 640) and Interstate 295 and west of Bell Creek Road (State Route 642). • Modification of the Office-Service (which is proposed to be eliminated as a designation within the Comprehensive Plan) to the Suburban General (1-4 dwelling units per acre) residential designation in the area generally along the west line of Shady Grove Road (State Route 640) at Interstate 295. • Addition of Rural Village designation in the general vicinity of the Beaverdam Commercial node, the Montpelier Commercial node along Mountain Road (U.S. Route 33) from West Patrick Henry Road (State Route 54) to Clazemont Road (State Route 715), and the Hanover Courthouse Commercial node. Major Thoroughfare Plan Map • Elimination of a proposed Minor Collector (60-ft ROW) generally circling the intersection of Mechanicsville Turnpike (U.S. Route 360) and Lee-Davis Road (State Route 643). • Realignment of an existing Major Collector (100-ft ROW, Bell Creek Road, State Route 642) from Pole Green Road (State Route 627) to Verdi Lane (State Route 710) and a proposed Minor Collector (60-ft ROW) from Bell Creek Road (State Route 642) to Shady Grove Road (State Route 640) to reflect the existing road network. • Addition of a new Minor Collector (60-ft ROW) classification for a portion of Old Telegraph Road (State Route 661) from its northern intersection with Washington Highway (U.S. Route 1) for approximately 0.5 mile south, then west to Washington Highway (U.S. Route 1). • Realignment of the intersection of Cedar Lane (State Route 623, Major Collector, 100-ft ROW) and Washington Highway (U.S. Route 1) approximately 450-ft north of its current location. • Elimination of a proposed Major Collector (100-ft ROW) and a proposed Minor Collector (60-ft ROW) from Creighton Road (State Route 615) to Cold Harbor Road (State Route 156). • Realignment of a proposed Major Collector (100-ft ROW) and a proposed Minor Collector (60-ft ROW) from Winns Church Road (State Route 660) and Mountain Road (U.S. Route 33) to the Henrico County line west of Cauthorne Road (State Route 624). • Realignment of a portion of the proposed Creighton Parkway (Major Collector, 100-ft ROW) near its intersection with Rural Point Road (State Route 643).

Cicadas return after 17 years underground

JoAnn and Allan Draper enjoyed a Viking River cruise from Budapest to Amsterdam. Traveling on three different rivers at various times, they passed through 167 locks. They also found the time to display a copy of The Mechanicsville Local in Cologne, Germany.
In late May or early June, when soil temperature reaches 64 degrees, billions of periodic cicadas (genus Magicicada) will emerge after 17 years underground. This year’s Magicicadas are referred to as Brood II and will emerge in Connecticut, Maryland, North Carolina, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Washington, D.C. Periodic cicadas are identified by brood number, depending on the year and location where they emerge. There are 15 broods. Broods of periodic cicadas in the Southern states tend to have see CICADAS, pg. 23

Ken Cuccinelli’s extreme ideology and the slate the Republican Party selected at its recent convention? Or do you want someone who knows a pothole when she sees it and makes sure it gets fixed?” “The past two sessions of the Virginia General Assembly are a prime example of our politicians putting party before constituents,” she continued. “The real issues — job creation, economic development and education — have taken a back seat to social issues and political ideology. It’s time to elect leaders with a common sense approach, leaders who will address the issues most relevant to the citizens in the 55th District. Let’s restore common sense to government.” Radler recently was heavily involved in opposing the removal of proffers that support construction of schools, roads and libraries.
“I saw this as yet another example of why we have to stop electing ideologues and start electing practical leaders who represent the people who put them in office. It seems that once elected, politicians forget the people they are representing. I won’t forget,” Radler said. Radler is the retired director of communications for the Richmond-based Christian Children’s Fund. In that capacity, she handled media relations for the worldwide organization and traveled to major worldwide disasters, helping establish emergency spaces for children. Locally, she is active in several organizations, including the Hanover Democratic Committee, the Rural Plains Women’s Club and Hanover Habitat for Humanity. She has served as the president of the Fairboden Civic Association,

Toni Radler, a long-time Hanover County resident and community activist, has announced her candidacy for the House of Delegates from the 55th District, which includes portions of Hanover, Caroline and Spotsylvania counties. “We need to restore a common sense approach to government because our state government has become as dysfuncTONI RADLER tional as Congress,” Radler said to believe our elected officials in a prepared statement. “I used would do well by us, that they would put the people first. But over the last several years, this hasn’t been the case. Our politicians have drifted so far afield from representing us that it’s time for people like me to step forward and give voters a sensible choice and a real voice.” Radler said the choice is a simple one. “Do you want your delegate to be hamstrung by

Mourning landmark closing I am writing to The Mechanicsville Local to mourn the closing of a Mechanicsville landmark. It was a sad day when I learned that a long-time business would soon be closing its doors. I wanted to take the opportunity to say that Hanover Carpet has been, in the short time that my family and I have lived in Mechanicsville, a place where I have always felt welcome. I knew that the product that I purchased was of the highest quality. Any time that I have spoken to Walter Myers, the owner of Hanover Carpet, I was treated with courtesy and respect. He stood behind his product. I could always count on the work being done in a timely manner, not to mention a professional one. Anyone that he employed possessed the same work ethic and qualities as he.
I will miss Mr. Myers. He was one of the first people that I met upon moving here. He personifies the best of Mechanicsville to me. I wish him the best in his retirement. Mary Langenbacher Mechanicsville

Who do they think they are?! I’m sure that “43” was only a “figurehead” and a “favor” from Dick Cheney to “41.” I do not think that “43” had anything to do with any of the planning that had to go on in Cheney’s office months and/or weeks prior to 9/11 . . . then they are now all saying, “Oops . . . guess we were wrong about “So Damn Insane’s” having WDM [weapons of mass destruction].” I do not care what anyone thinks of this . . . this was not only known by those that make it their business to know.

Modern office options outlined for Hanover business leaders By Jodi Deal jdeal@mechlocal.com
When you think of a workplace, do you think of somewhere workers report from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., sit in offices, hold meetings around long tables in conference rooms, or go to a tiny break area for stale coffee? According to Debbie Lennick and Ryan Mayton of Creative, a Richmond-based firm that specializes in modern work spaces, those ideas are outdated. The Hanover Business CounciloftheGreaterRichmond Chamber of Commerce heard about Lennick and Mayton’s concept of a 21st century office – both the physical space and the people within it – during a May 23 breakfast meeting. Gone are the days of leisurely business as usual, Lennick said. Nowadays, the business world is “global, mobile and 24/7,” thanks to technology, the economy and the mix of workers carrying out day-today tasks. For the first time in 200 years, the United States, Japan and
Jodi Deal/The Local
Interior designer Ryan Mayton, photo at left, of Creative, a Richmond-based firm that specializes in modern work spaces, told the Hanover Business Council at Thursday’s breakfast meeting that office space is “essentially the body language of an organization.” Debbie Lennick, also with Creative, said that business has changed by leaps and bounds in recent years.
Western Europe have lost their ground in the global economy, Lennick added. Increasingly competitive workforces in place like Brazil and India are providing real competition, increasing demand for creativity, speedy decision and innovation. “We have to be creative, and we have to be lean,” Lennick said. Companies have to figure out ways to lower risk, remain flexible, make full use of technology, and embrace the interdependence changes that the business world have brought
about. “When you make a decision right now, you’re affecting someone else immediately.” Businesses are increasingly making use of contract workers, part-timers and consultants, Lennick said. Meanwhile, full-time workers are spread out across multiple buildings, states or even countries, with some working from coffee shops and home offices, while others are miles and time zones away. The new normal means many people check their cell phones before they even get out of bed, she added. People have adopted strange postures
to interact with various devices, and spend long hours staring at screens, often shielded from the outside world. “We’re doing things our bodies aren’t used to doing,” Lennick said. She noted that it leads not only to physical problems, but to mental problems as a result of stress. “Stress has become a global epidemic.” Mayton, an interior designer, said office spaces can be designed to mesh better with a rapidly changing business world. During the recession, many workplaces chose to downsize, cramming workers into smaller spaces that impeded productivity. Now, a lot of businesses are looking to adapt, he said. A pleasing environment cannot only influence the decision-making process of prospective employees, he added, it can affect how long employees stick around and how loyal they are to their companies. “The old cube farms we’re used to seeing are going away,” he said. Mayton showed an oversee OFFICE, pg. 30

I just finished a 3½-year study asking veterans in college diagnosed with PTSD [Post Traumatic Stress Disorder] and they said the same thing: “We went into Iraq for Exxon and Halliburton!” Ninety-five percent of this pool said this during the study! So what difference does it make that Cheney will never face any trial for war crimes ever! Not one bit of difference. He got away scot-free with the biggest fraud . . . war profiting . . . and murder of some 4,200 military personnel and 100,000 Iraqis all for the good of “the only non-bid” government contractor ever in the system! Yes, something happened at Benghazi that was bad. The loss of four heroes serving their country was bad. But (with all due respect to the family members) this pales in comparison to what Cheney did. The worst part of this is that people in this country forget too easily.

County needs going unmet On the front page on the April 17th edition of The Mechanicsville Local Hanover County Board of Supervisors member Angela Kelly-Wiecek [Chickahominy District] promotes the notion that she had to be drug kicking and screaming into supporting this year’s county budget because it was in her words “ another Band-Aid budget” as she phrased it.

Yes, what happened at the AP was bad. Imagine stifling the press. Whatever happened to the First Amendment? Whoever is responsible for this intrusion into the privacy of any news organization is liable for constitutional infringement. But the blame goes straight to Barry [Barack Obama]. Period ... Tried and found guilty by Mitch McConnell, John Boehner and Mike Huckabee. In fact, these three said, “Forget lameduck … how about dead duck!” Hey, Secret Service …. Are you taking notes? Isn’t this threatening the President of the United States? And, yes, what happened at the IRS is bordering on anarchy and dissolution of a nation. “It’s Obama’s fault” towers from the Right — those supposed professionals in government. I said it above and I’ll reiterate. These three issues are serious. Someone has to answer. But who the heck do these three think they are any way?!

[Supervisor] Aubrey Stanley [Beaverdam District] was the county employees not receiving “raises.” Is Stanley living on another planet?

anover Evangelical Friends Church will be celebrating 50 years of service starting at 1 p.m. on Saturday, June 2. The Evangelical Friends Church traces its roots back to George Fox in England, who longed for a personal relationship with Christ, but could not find it in organized religion of his day. Then he said he heard a voice, “There is one, even Christ Jesus that can speak to thy condition.” Fox experienced what he described as a personal relationship with the living Lord, Jesus Christ. Friends members said they believe one can and must have a personal “bornagain” relationship with Jesus. They believe that “He died for our sins and was raised from the dead. Then we put our trust in Him alone for our salvation. The Evangelical part of our name means we hold to a high view of the Bible as the inspired Word of God, the final authority for belief and practice.”
Hanover Evangelical Friends Church began as the dream of Stanley and Louise Baldwin. They attended a Friends Church in Newport News. Baldwin’s job brought him to Richmond. There was no Friends church in Richmond so he appealed to the denomination leaders in Canton, Ohio, to plant one. It took 13 years for the dream to become a reality. The church met for one year in a fire station in Hanover County, then bought property in 1964 on the Mechanicsville Turnpike in Hanover County and called their first full time pastor, George Robinson, who pastored the church for 25 years. George’s wife Eileen and her sister Carolyn Leimberger became the first day school directors in 1972. In 2013, Friendly Care Day School is celebrating 40 years of “friendly care” for children. Those associated with the day school said it would be difficult to estimate how many children have passed through the doors. The school was considered a pioneer in establishing a “day school” to care for young children. The center provides qual-
ity early childhood education and a safe nurturing Christian environment for children of working parents. In 1977, the church started the Hanover Friends Elder Center, which United Way now operates. In the late 1980s, a ministry to the hungry started and serves 75 to 100 families every week. Needy families seeking food are encouraged to visit Hanover Friends Church website at friendlychurch.org for more information. Hanover Evangelical Friends Church offers children’s and teen ministries, Vacation Bible School, as well as its annual “Bethlehem Walk,” which was started in December. An outdoor recreation detailing the birth of Jesus Christ, the “Bethlehem Walk” attracted more than 800 attendees. Outside of Mechanicsville, the church has ministered in the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and the Appalachian region of Kentucky within the last year. The 50th Anniversary Homecoming will have food, music, games and fun.

stay, Magicicadas suck juices from tree and shrub roots. They progress through six stages of development called instars, going from a tiny nymph no bigger than a rice grain to a beefy love machine. When it’s time to emerge, between May and June, nymphs first tunnel to the surface to create their escape routes while the soil is still moist and soft. They retreat about a foot underground and wait until the soil is warm enough to emerge. When they emerge, the nymphs crawl up a tree trunk, onto a wall or whatever surface they can find. They shed their nymph skin and then spend five or six days waiting for their exoskeleton and wings to harden. Although often called locusts, Magicicadas are related to Katydids while true locusts are related to grasshoppers. However, unlike locusts, cicadas do not destroy vegetation nor do they bite or sting. But sing they do. Males congregate in “chorus” trees and sing to attract females. The males make their raucous song using their muscles to pump an organ called a tymbal.

for Australian Aboriginals and American Indians. Ancient Greeks and Romans considered them a delicacy as do modern day Japanese. They are high in protein and are said to have a light nutty flavor. They can be baked, boiled, broiled, fried, grilled and sautéed, just to name a few methods of preparation. If you’ve eaten shrimp, lobster or crabs, you’ve eaten close relatives of the cicada since they are all members of the class of Arthropoda. However, if you are allergic to these crustaceans, resist the temptation to chow down on cicadas. Although their human companions may stuff themselves on the crunchy delicacies, pets should be discouraged. The rigid wings, body and legs could cause your pet to choke. Pets may gorge themselves on the cicadas and become sick. Cicadas also may have been sprayed with pesticides and can cause illness and even the death of your pet. Despite the Magicicadas’ noise and the mess made when they die, these insects serve several beneficial purposes. They provide plenty of nutritious food for a wide range of animals — everything from fish to humans. As the carcasses decay, nutrients are released and returned to the soil — free fertilizer. Finally, as the larvae and nymphs burrow underground, they aerate the soil beneath trees and shrubs. So hold off on dousing these curious insects with insecticides. Sweep the husks and dead bodies from your walkway and lawn or use the leaf blower to blow them into flower beds or the garden. In just a few weeks they’ll be gone for another 17 years. In the meantime, sit back and enjoy the symphony. For assistance with your lawn or garden issues, call the Hanover County Extension Office at 804-752-4310. Information submitted by Anne Atkins, Hanover Master Gardeners.
CASA celebrates 25th anniversary The Hanover County Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Program, which advocates for abused and neglected children, is celebrating its 25th anniversary. That makes it the second-oldest CASA program in the Commonwealth of Virginia. It all started with a conversation in the spring of 1988 between then-Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court Judge J. Dean Lewis, the late Nina K. Peace (then the Ashland District’s representative on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors) and Marilyn J. Blake, who was then Hanover County’s volunteer coordinator.
The first training class began in October 1988 and consisted of nine members. More than 176 volunteers have been trained since that time and more than 524 children have received advocacy services. CASA’s 25-year anniversary was observed at Hanover County “Spirit of Volunteerism� celebration on May 7. Michael Piraino, National CASA’s CEO, appeared via video to congratulate the Hanover CASA Program on reaching the milestone of 25 years of serving abused and neglected children in Hanover County. Blake shared how the program began and how the vol-
unteers serve as the voice of the child in court. Although Judge Lewis was unable to attend the event, she communicated that the local bar association, the Board of Supervisors and the citizens of the community gave enthusiastic support to the Hanover CASA Program and that without their support it would not have been possible to launch such a critical program to meet the needs of abused and neglected children. During the May 8 meeting of the Board of Supervisors, Del. Christopher Peace, R-97, presented a commendation from the Virginia House of Delegates

Ashland’s first stand-alone Chick-fil-A® restaurant will open on Thursday, May 30, bringing nearly 60 new jobs and the chance for 100 adults to win free Chick-fil-A meals for a year as the chain reaches the 10th anniversary of its signature grand opening celebration. Chick-fil-A’s “First 100” event, which began as a way to celebrate the first standalone Chick-fil-A in Arizona in 2003, immediately became the cornerstone of every Chick-fil-A grand opening when the first person arrived more than 18 hours the day before, wondering where to get in line. Others soon followed and by the time the restaurant opened for business the next day, more than 100 were waiting. Chick-fil-A quickly implemented the “First 100” at every grand opening and in the past 10 years has given
away more than $18 million in free food at almost 700 grand openings. An additional $2.5 million is slated to be given away at 102 grand openings this year. The new Ashland restaurant, located at 815 England St., will be the scene of the latest Chick-fil-A grand opening celebration. The first 100 adults, ages 18 and older with identification, in line when the doors open about 6 a.m. on Thursday, May 30, each will win a one-year supply of free Chick-fil-A® Meals (52 coupons with each consisting of a Chick-fil-A Chicken Sandwich, medium Waffle Potato Fries™ and a medium drink) – a total of nearly $30,000 in free food. The line officially opens at 6 a.m. on Wednesday, May 29, with the free meal cards being awarded about 6 a.m. on Thursday, May 30. The restaurant will open for busisee OPENING, pg. 30

view of an updated office he called an “ecosystem of spaces.” It included a mix of shared and individual spaces, ranging from cubicles with low walls that some workers would call home, standard offices for others, casual meeting spaces and areas to provide a change of scenery, like high desks at which workers could either stand or sit at stools in front of large windows. “They have a palate of place, a palate of posture they can choose from throughout the day,” Mayton said. Collaborative spaces are changing as well, Mayton said. He showed meeting areas with high tables and stools – with a coffee bar nearby – for more casual conversations, along with meeting spaces outfitted with plush couches and large flatscreen monitors mounted on the walls.

He joins a small percentage of operators to be given two stand-alone locations to operate. During his tenure as Operator, he has received the chain’s highest honor – the Symbol of Success – three consecutive times and joins a handful of operators to have achieved that level.

Having formerly served on the Hanover County Superintendents Advisory Board, he channeled his energies in that area by starting the Schools for Niger Africa Fund 10 years ago with the goal to build new schools in one of the poorest countries in the world. To help accomplish that goal, in 2005, he started the Chick-fil-A Charity Dodgeball Tournament, which has grown to become the largest tournament in the world and raises more than $100,000 annually and to date nearly $700,000 – helping to build four schools.

when the project was completed. He said the system could handle the increases. After Kelly-Wiecek was satisfied to her inquiries, she moved for approval of the project. It was a close vote for a board that earlier this year denied an application to alter a previously approved plan to build apartments instead of condos on Lake Ridge Parkway. “We evaluate each and every application on its specific merits, impact and conditions — that is the way our process is designed to work,” Kelly-Wiecek said. “While both projects targeted a similar market of young professionals and empty-nesters, the

applicants for the Charleston Ridge project have a demonstrated history of developing and maintaining high-quality multi-family development.” Ashland District Supervisor Ed Via seconded Kelly-Wiecek’s motion, expressing a desire for diversified housing in the county. South Anna District Supervisor Wayne Hazzard said he could not support the project because it did not contain a commercial element or mixed use proposal. Board Chairman Canova Peterson supported the project, and voiced a familiar defense of renters and a concern for government overreach. “I’m having a hard time thinking government should sit here and make the decision for somebody else’s use of their property when they comply with all ordinances and all requirements. That smells a lot like socialism to me,” he said. The chairman repeated his support for treating all multifamily housing the same. “I think it’s important for our ordinance not to discriminate
or differentiate between condos, apartments or any other type of multi family housing,” Peterson said. Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley said he might support future plans for apartments in the county, but couldn’t vote yes on this proposal. Henry District Supervisor Sean Davis also voted no on the application, citing density and other concerns. Cold Harbor District Supervisor Elton Wade broke the 3-3 deadlock, stating he trusted his appointed planning commissioner’s recommendation to approve the project. “We appoint these commissioners and they know more than I do about this,” Wade said. Charleston Ridge is envisioned as five buildings of fourstory apartments on 21.4 acres, featuring one-, two- and threebedroom upscale apartments. The permitting and construction process will take about two years, but the developer has agreed to make the traffic improvements prior to construction of the units.

District title does not come easy for Atlee By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Throughout the Capital District regular season the Atlee girls’ soccer team was on cruise control. Dominating on both offense and defense, the Raiders controlled every league contest and cruised through the district slate. Winning the final Capital District trophy did not come so easy. As the tournament’s #1 seed, Atlee advanced to the championship game with a 6-0 rout of #4 Henrico while on the other side of the bracket second seeded Glen Allen managed to edge out Hanover 1-0. Yet after defeating the
Jaguars 6-1 and 8-0 during the regular season the Raiders had their hands full in the championship but battled to a 1-0 win. “It wasn’t pretty but we’re champions,” said Atlee head coach Bruce Lovelace. “They did what they needed to do to win the game.” What the Raiders had to do was adapt to unseasonably cool temperatures, gusting winds and a pack-it-in defense from Glen Allen’s Capital District Coach of the Year Mashall Bennett Baber III. After suffering two blowout losses to the Raiders, Baber concentrated all his efforts on preventing scores, putting his entire team into Atlee’s offen-

Nemeckova falls in regional championship By John Packett Richmond Times Dispatch It was Lauren Denuel’s last chance to win a Central Region girls tennis singles championship. For Pavla Nemeckova, it was her only opportunity. Helped immensely by a bundle of unforced errors by Nemeckova, Denuel held the plaque inscribed with the word “champion” after her 6-1, 6-4 victory Thursday afternoon at Mills Godwin High School. “It’s been, give or take, three years in the making,” said Denuel, Cosby’s No. 1 player. “I’m glad, senior year, I finally won it. It means a lot to win it in singles. Doubles, I’ve been doing well.” Denuel, 18, was the runnerup in singles as a sophomore and lost in the semifinals as a junior. She knocked off defend-
ing region champion Caroline Mosberg of Deep Run in the semifinals Wednesday before taking care of Nemeckova. Against Nemeckova, Denuel played her steady baseline game. And that was enough for the left-hander. In addition to the unforced mistakes, Nemeckova double-faulted 11 times, seven in the opening set. Nemeckova, a foreign exchange student from Prague, Czech Republic, who plays No. 1 for Lee-Davis, has a strong forehand but a much weaker backhand, which Denuel exploited. “Everyone knows she has a strong forehand, so I knew I had to keep it to her backhand,” Denuel said. “Being a lefty, it’s an advantage for me. But she still got a lot by me. I just kept going at it until she broke down.” The longer Denuel was able
to keep the ball in play, the more she liked her chances. “She hit winner after winner,” Denuel said. “But if I could get it back, I felt like, ‘OK, I can get this point.’ ” Nemeckova, 17, a sophomore who returns to Prague next month, went up 4-2 in the second set and had two chances to take a 5-3 lead on her serve before losing the eighth game. Denuel then saved five break points at 4-all to hold serve and broke Nemeckova to end it in 65 minutes. “That (4-all) was a big game and we both knew it,” said Denuel, who is heading to the University of South Carolina for nursing school. “My goal was to make states and I reached that,” Nemeckova said. “So I’m happy, but I’m really upset about losing today. I tried my best but it just wasn’t
enough. I double-faulted a lot and I had a problem with my backhand, too. “She is a great player. She runs a lot. She doesn’t doublefault a lot. She deserved it.” In the doubles final, the Mills Godwin duo of Abigail Randolph and Keerthana Shankar rallied to beat Denuel and Jamie Cochran 1-6, 6-3, 6-1. Both singles and doubles winners and runners-up qualify for the Group AAA individual tournament June 6-8 in Fairfax. Denuel and Nemeckova were region co-players of the year in voting by the coaches.

Patrick Henry takes another Colonial crown By Jim Ridolphi Special Correspondent The Patrick Henry girls’ varsity softball team found itself in a familiar position Friday night at J.R. Tucker. For the fourth consecutive year, the Patriots emerged with a Colonial District title after a 9-1 victory. While it was a repeat performance for the two senior members of the squad, it was a first time experience for many players including their coach. “We have young players and they are excited,” said Patrick Henry first year coach Shelby Webb. “This is their first trip to a championship game.” The Patriots were leery of Godwin’s speed, and entered the game with a plan to keep them off the bases. With consistent pitching from Candace Whittemore and a solid defense behind her, the Patriots accom-

plished that task, limiting the Eagles to only five base runners for the contest. “We played together well and got hits when we needed them tonight,” Whittemore said. “It definitely helps when we score early, and it makes me more relaxed on the mound.” Webb pointed out that Whittemore had nine shutouts over the course of the Colonial District schedule. “She takes control in these games,” Webb said. “She doesn’t overpower with strikeouts, but she throws pitches that produce ground balls and allows our defense to work.” The coach said that control and the early lead were key factors in the championship win. “We prepared for their first couple of hitters who can fly on the bases. We kept them off the bases and that was our goal for

the night.” Ellen Davidson led off with a double for the Patriots in the bottom of the first and Paige Mitchell followed by beating out a throw to first on an infield hit. “Ellen has played great defense all year and is very versatile at the plate,” Webb said. “She can bunt, and she can hit. She’s one of those kids who will do anything you ask them to do.” Kendall Thomas singled both runners in and the Patriots jumped to a quick 2-0 lead. “The good start was important for us,” Webb said. “Godwin was coming off a big win and they were going to be out to get us. It’s always easier to play ahead with more confidence and more settled when you have that lead.” The Patriots added three more in the second when senior

first baseman Hunter Glave provided a towering double that drove in Mitchell and Davidson. “Hunter sprained her ankle earlier in the week in our first game here” Webb said. “She was out of commission yesterday, but
came out tonight and stroked the ball and played excellent defense on first base.” Thomas scored a run in the fourth inning when Madison Seay sacrificed to right field. Mitchell scored again in the fifth when Beth Ford singled
her in. Godwin broke the ice in the sixth inning with one run, but it was too late for the Eagles who also advance to regional play this week. The victory marks the fourth year the Patriots have won both the regular season and the tournament title in the Colonial District.

over the top balls, because the Jaguars left no open lanes. “It was hard adjusting,” Wilkins said. “We couldn’t really dribble. It was hard to get our shot off, a lot of deflections and I think that led to a somewhat sloppy game.” However, to produce such defensive work Glen Allen completely abandoned any form of offensive attack. The few balls that did cross midfield were quickly returned by the solid play of Atlee’s Alexis Pringle, Hannah Grasberger and Wilkins. Grasberger saw extended playing time when senior back Kaitlyn Grizzard went down early in the game with a strained right knee. “It was hard losing Kaitlyn but Hannah was right there,” Lovelace said. “We felt confident with what we had on the bench.” Entering halftime scoreless made the Raiders a little edgy knowing one small mistake on defense could cost them the
game. “It just takes anything,” said senior Brooke Jerman. “Like for our keeper to slip up, just her cleat, the grass is wet, you can’t blame anybody for anything and it just takes one minor mistake.” Before heading back to the field, Wilkins gave instructions to keeper Jordan Smith. “You’ve got to keep your feet moving the whole time because one shot, one deflection is a goal for them,” she said. Ironically, it was unusual taunting by Glen Allen fans that may have provided the incentive for the Raiders to find the goal in the 43rd minute of play. Jerman, who is not unused to being taunted, took exception to the calls from males along the sideline early in the second half. “It usually comes from other students,” she said. “I turned around and saw adults and I was kind of like, ‘Dang!’ “I just take it because if anything it will just get me more excited to play and want to win and kind of rub that in their face rather than fall under their pressure and talk back to them
about it. It’s a lot more fun to win than be rude.” Teammate Jamari Blackwell indicated Jerman is perhaps the one Raider opponents do not want to provoke. “She intimidates me sometimes,” Blackwell laughed. “She’s very fast and strong with the ball. She’s really skilled too.” Jerman showed that skill soon afterward when she made a determined drive along the sidelines, in front of her antagonizers, and blistered a cross to the middle. From there Blackwell cleaned up. “It was perfect,” Blackwell said. “The goalie, it kind of bounced off her hands and I was like ‘Oh,’ and just kicked it in.” Grabbing the lead, allowed the Raiders to become more comfortable closing out the contest. “I think once we got that goal we knew if we could just possess and play good soccer we would come out with the win,” Wilkins said. Throughout the contest, sophomore Molly Shields providing skilled footwork pushing the ball through the dense
Jaguar defense even though she did not score. “She’s always active and really good with the ball on her feet,” Lovelace said. “She creates a lot of problems when she’s on the ball.” Late in the game, Shields appeared to get leveled inside the box but no penalty was called. Lovelace shrugged it off after the win. “You’ve got to play what they call and they didn’t call it,” he said. The Raiders opened Central Region play at home on Tuesday against Douglas Freeman. Lovelace feels Glen Allen provided an educational tool that could help Atlee down the road. “This was a difficult match just with the conditions and the way the other team played us, but at least we got exposed to that so if we run into it again we’ll handle it better,” he said. Wilkins was also selected to be a member of the Virginia All-State team which will play in Hampton Roads in mid July.

Atlee lacrosse takes Summer Slam title Lacrosse is a spring sport but if you’re a lacrosse player or fan, you know that throughout a typical season, you will experience “three-dog night” cold, high winds, heat & humidity, rain and recently – mud. The Summer Slam lacrosse tournament, held at the Clover Hill Athletic Complex May 18-19, proved to be the mudder of all mudders and the Atlee High School boys varsity team proved to love it. Going undefeated, Atlee took home the championship over friendly rivals, the Mechanicsville Militia 5-4. It was an effort significant in the sense that each and every member of the team played and contributed to this championship effort. Last year, Atlee was runner up against the Tidewater Predators, a club team full of

all-stars from Tidewater. This year, despite being the only exclusively high school team, Atlee won the championship. The title showed volumes how lacrosse is the fastest growing sport in the area and how dominant the Hanover area has become in the sport. Next year, Hanover county schools will move to the VHSL
level and play as a true high school varsity team. This particular tournament drew in teams from NC, PA, MD and across the state. Most teams are made up of elite travel squads and the resulting caliber of play is very high. The Militia was also filled with kids from Hanover county as well as schools from Midlothian
and St. Christopher’s. (The U15 Militia won their age group championship). As two-time, defending state club champion, they will be seeking to three-peat the weekend of June 1 at the state tournament played in the Sports Quest complex in Midlothian. With a record of 15-2-1, Atlee will enter the tournament as one of the favorites. Atlee will open against Grafton on June 1 at 9:45 a.m. on Field 3. The championship will be played Sunday, June 2 at 10:30 a.m. Next year continues to be full of promise with the loss of only five seniors: Will Woodward, Sam Holmes, Fitz Rogers, Josh Alston, Andrew Harrell and Coach Eric Hall’s assistant coach, Cole Sydnor.

Atlee completes repeat championship run By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local In the third inning, Atlee’s varsity baseball team made the most of its scoring opportunities. In the fourth and fifth innings, Hanover did not. And when the Hawks grounded out to end their half of the seventh inning, the Raiders – for the second year in a row – had upset top-seeded Hanover to claim the Capital District tournament championship with a 5-2 victory. Atlee coach Barry Burton credited his starting pitcher, Taylor Crowe, with shutting down the Hawks. “He was just great,” Burton said. “It was the second year in a row that we called on him to get this done, and he got it done again.” Crowe held Hanover to two runs and four hits over 4-2/3 innings. He yielded the mound to Collin Bazemore with bases loaded and two outs in the fifth. Bazemore snuffed the Hawks’ rally, allowing only one walk the

rest of the game. The Hawks (18-3) stranded five runners in the fourth and fifth innings – managing only one run in each frame. Atlee stranded nine runners through-
out the first five innings, but in the third, the Raiders (17-3) managed to bring four of them home. David Graubics, who knocked in Atlee’s first run in
the first inning, opened the third with a double. Two outs and two walks – to Luke Bolka and Roy Coates – later, Graubics scored on a wild pitch. Bolka advanced to third and Jordan
Harris, courtesy running for Coates, went to second on the play. David Baughn walked to load the bases. Hanover coach Charlie Dragum held a meeting on the mound to try to calm things down, but to no avail. Atlee’s Caleb Myers – who finished with a game-high three hits – then cleared the bases with a double. “You keep putting the ball in play enough times, something good’s going to happen,” Burton said. “We had some timely hitting from some seniors that I’ve been counting on to do all year. We played well.” The Raiders also benefitted from some timely defense with two inning-ending double plays off line drives in the first and sixth innings. First baseman Evan Swecker handled the sixthinning double play all by himself. The first victim was Hanover left fielder Cayman Richardson. “He hit a pretty hard line drive right at me,” Swecker said. “They had (Chris Gilliam) on
first base and they did a hit-andrun. (Gilliam) was already halfway to second base by the time he even knew where the ball was. It was right at me, so I just caught it and had to go over to first base to get the double play.” Dragum said the Hawks had a brief lapse of composure in the third inning. “It’s something that we really stress, on controlling the things we can control throughout the course of a game and throughout the course of a season,” Dragum said. “We just let our emotions get the best of us and we did things that I thought we didn’t need to do and things that we haven’t done this year, and it ended up kind of snowballing on us.” Both Atlee and Hanover opened regional play on Monday.

Trophy reward for Confederate comebacks By Arthur Utley The Mechanicsville Local The last Capital District softball tournament championship trophy will reside forever with the district’s most successful program. Lee-Davis (17-4) rallied from a two-run deficit through four innings and defeated rival Atlee 3-2 Friday night at Glen Allen. It was the final district tournament because Virginia High School League realignment is doing away with districts beginning this fall. The Capital boasts four schools that have won Group AAA softball championships: Lee-Davis (2011), Hanover (2006), Atlee (2002) and Varina (1997). Lee-Davis was state
38
runner-up in 2010 and 1982-84. The Confederates have qualified for the region tournament too many times to count. Hanover had a state runner-up finish in 2007, and Atlee was runner-up in 1992, shortly after the school opened. Although Varina has fallen off, the Hanover County schools continue to go at each other tooth and nail. Atlee (16-2) was this year’s district champion and earned the automatic berth in the region tournament. LeeDavis, the third seed, used a three-run rally in the seventh inning to defeat second-seeded Hanover in the semifinals. The Confederates were 1-3 versus their rivals during the regular

season. “For this team to have come this far is just amazing,” Confederates coach Jackie Davis said. “We started out the season and due to injuries and some other things happening, we ended up with 10 players. We fought through it, we stuck together, and they have really come a long way from the beginning of the year.” Up until last year’s district tournament, Lee-Davis had owned Atlee, constructing see TROPHY, pg. 39 ` Charlie Leffler/The Local

a Major League Baseball season, no one would define the championship game as pretty. However, no one could accuse either team of not leaving everything on the field. Despite the physical play, neither team lost their composure with so much riding on the outcome. “What I’m proud of is my player kept their cool and played like gentlemen,” Body said. “Soccer is a gentleman’s sport.” While the championship game was largely devoid of highlight moments, both Hanover and Henrico turned in Top-10 type plays to make their way there. In a running semifinal battle with #1 seed Atlee, Hanover maintained pace throughout as the teams ended regulation, two overtimes and the first sudden death period tied 2-2. But midway through the final five minute period, Hanover senior forward Dustyn Vallies worked the ball to the right corner and fired a cross towards goal. The ball lofted perfectly over and out of the reach of Atlee keeper Trevor Jordan to where Hawks sopho-

a multi-year winning streak against the Raiders, who would play good games but couldn’t get over the hump. That changed when Atlee defeated Lee-Davis in last year’s district tournament final. Then the Raiders beat the Confederates by one run twice this season. When Atlee put two runs on the board in the fourth inning Friday night, keeping the streak going looked good. Taylor Sutherland reached first on an infield single. Shelby Hill doubled to right center field, and pitcher Jessica Holte walked to load the bases. Raine Wilson, a freshman, grounded
more Jonathan Hughes made a sliding punch to boot the ball up into the net for the game-winning score. “That was crazy. That was awesome,” said Hanover senior keeper Ben McIlwaine. “Dustyn played a really nice cross, went right over the goalie and Jonathan Hughes was right there to finish it. It was very nice and came a great time.” In the earlier semifinal game, Henrico knocked off #2 seed Lee-Davis in similarly dramatic fashion, also playing in sudden death. On a set kick from the left side, the Warriors ran a double-fake into a pass left, which resulted in an assist to Andy Adjei in front of the Confederates goal for the win. In the championship, Henrico appeared to be setting up for the same play off a kick in the final minute of the first half but took too long on their setup and the clock expired. “I think a lot of the game was fairly evenly matched,” McIlwaine said. “Henrico had some good attacks. They were definitely a pretty good team too, a very good team. They just capitalized on our mistakes.” In the 68th minute of play, Hanover’s mistake was getting
called for a contact penalty inside the box. After the intense physical contact throughout the game, the penalty appeared mild in comparison. “I think the ref was trying to let us play and not get into it so much,” said McIlwaine who was a close witness to the call. “From my view point it didn’t look like it, other teammates think it was. That’s ultimately the refs decision.” In the semifinals, Henrico senior back Mark Davis twice tied the game against the Confederates; once on a kick from midfield and later on a penalty kick. Davis wasted little time of drilling the upper left corner in his faceoff with McIlwaine to create the only score of the championship game. “It was definitely a tough loss, especially off a PK but we were really happy to get here,” McIlwaine said. Though McIlwaine only went in the record book with two saves, he repeatedly raced out to swallow up the ball in the box preventing Henrico from getting their close offense going. “He learned a lot this year,” Body said. “He comes at the

The complexion of the game turned in the top of the fifth inning when Holte, the district pitcher of the year, couldn’t pick up Victoria Houff ’s slow bouncer cleanly and threw the ball over first base. Houff went to second on the error and moved to third on a successful sacrifice by Becca Hicks. Kylie Stonebraker was hit by a pitch, and Becca Fields delivered a run-scoring sacrifice fly to right field to close L-D’s deficit to one run. Atlee went down in order in the fifth before Holte walked Martin, the leadoff batter in
the sixth. L-D pitcher Lauren McIntyre sacrificed, and catcher Haleigh Cottrell delivered an RBI double to tie the score. Cottrell also was in the middle of L-D’s comeback against Hanover in the semifinals. “Honestly, I was just looking for anything. Rise ball. Change up. Anything. I was just swinging to protect because I was down in the count,” Cottrell, a senior said. “I knew we were scoring the run. That was all that mattered.” After a strikeout -- Holte had nine in the game – Houff hit a grounder to second but a low throw skidded by first baseman Delani Farrar, allowing Houff to reach safely and Cottrell to score the winning run on what would have been

the third out of the inning. Two more three-up, threedown Atlee at-bats wrapped up the Lee-Davis victory. “We let one error get to our heads and … magnify into a couple more and just took ourselves out of it mentally,” Atlee coach John Earley said. “They wouldn’t make their adjustments hitting wise. I think they put pressure on themselves to get that game winning hit or home run, and they were just popping the ball up. We had eight or nine easy outs on fly balls. You’ve got to make them make mistakes, and it’s hard to make mistakes on a nice easy popup.” Both teams have begun region play. Lee-Davis was paired in the quarterfinals
against Colonial District champion Patrick Henry, which defeated the Confederates by one run early in the season. Atlee played host to Mills Godwin. Eleven years ago, Atlee was in a similar situation. Earley said then head coach and now assistant coach Becky Levy reminded the Raiders of that Friday night. “Mrs. Levy told them, ‘We lost to Lee-Davis in the district tournament, and we came back and won every game from there. We used that loss as a motivator, as fuel, to improve and get better. That’s what we’re aiming for again’.” And Earley added, “It’s tough to lose the way we did, but as long as they learn some-

Redskins facility looking prime and on time By Michael Schoeffel The Midlothian Exchange Construction on the 15acre Bons Secours Washington Redskins Training Facility is running smoothly and is scheduled to be completed by June 30, according to Mark Hourigan, president of Hourigan Construction. Hourigan -- along with Redskins’ general manager Bruce Allen, Richmond Mayor Dwight Jones and several other prominent individuals involved with the immense project - spoke on May 20 during a media hard hat tour of the nearly-finished facility. About 100 members of the press were in attendance, and could be seen meandering around the building in white hard hats as construction equipment hummed and buzzed outdoors. The $10.8 million facility, which is located at 2401 W. Leigh St., is being built by the Richmond Economic Development Authority. Bons Secours has committed a $3.2 million sponsorship package that allows the health care provider naming rights. The training camp is expected to attract more than 100,000 people to the Richmond area and bring in about $8.5 million annually, through hotels, restaurants and tourism dollars. The West Leigh Street site was one of 12 possible locations, according to Jay Hugo, principal of 3north, the Richmond-based firm that designed the facility. It was chosen over Sports Backers Stadium, Virginia Union University and City Stadium in what amounted to a sort of “Final Four” of possible training camp locales. “I don’t think the site could be any better, anywhere,” said Hugo. “And we’re proud to be a part of it.” That theme -- pride -- was

harkened to throughout the course of the day by Allen and Mayor Jones. As the mayor mentioned during an introductory speech, many people justifiably doubted whether a project of such magnitude and audacity could be completed on time. After all, the ground breaking took place a mere 18 weeks ago, and the Redskins are set to begin training camp on July 25. “We are here to show that we are delivering on our promise and that the project is on schedule and on time,” the mayor said. “And anyone who had any doubts about that, we want them to know that the proof is in the pudding. “It is a major accomplishment, and we are extremely proud and happy about that today,” Jones added. When looking out onto the site’s surroundings from the spacious, glass-enclosed second story suite area, it is easy to see why everybody involved with the project is so keen on how

things have panned out. To the west, lively green practice fields -- complete with four NFL-regulation goal posts -- immediately catch the eye. Beyond the farthest set of uprights, about three-quarters of a mile away, the Movieland sign on the side of the BowTie Cinemas can easily be seen. To the northwest, the upper decks of The Diamond come into view. To the south, looms the iconic Science Museum of Virginia, so close in proximity quarterback sensation Robert Griffin III could likely drill the building proper with one of his more lengthy passes. However, Allen -who punted for the University of Richmond in the mid-’70s - made it clear during a question-and-answer session it was still too early to tell whether the 2013 NFL Rookie of the Year will be healthy enough to take the field during training camp. Griffin suffered a partially torn LCL (lateral collateral ligament) in his right knee dur-
ing a playoff game against the Seahawks this past January. Allen said Griffin would be subjected to a physical before the start of camp. So it remains to be seen whether Richmondarea Redskins fans will get a glimpse of Griffin in action this summer. But what will become of the facility when Griffin’s teammates pack up and head out of the River City at the end of August? How will the facility be put to use during the 48 weeks of the year that the Redskins are elsewhere? According to Peter Bernard, CEO at Bons Secours Virginia Health Systems, the complex will be the site of numerous community-building activities. The first floor will house a sports medicine facility that will “focus on the health and wellness of the community” and feature orthopedic specialists, physical therapists and various activities with more programs added as the site nears completion. The second floor will fea-
ture “four or five primary care physicians,” as well as a clinic. A two-and-a-half-acre park will be accessible to the public and will feature a 500-seat amphitheatre, a water wall, a music garden, and a quarter-mile walking/ running course. “We’re going to be here yearround, not only optimizing the programs we mentioned, but also a number of educational activities in order to take every effort to give back to the community.” As far as how the influx of an estimated 100,000 Redskin training camp fans will affect the outlying counties of Richmond, such as Hanover and Chesterfield, Mayor Jones speculated a healthy business boon -- but avoided delving into any specifics. “It’s certainly going to be an overflow,” Jones said. “The people in the outlying areas and outlying restaurants and outly-
ing hotels can expect to have their businesses impacted in a positive way.” Allen foresees the entire region benefiting from the premiere facility. “We want to thank the community and everybody that was involved with the project,” he said. “And, yes, the Redskins will be coming to a field of dreams.” Training Camp is set to begin on July 25 and is free to the public. Fan appreciation day will take place on Aug. 3.
Lacrosse camp To support the Atlee Raiders or develop LAX skills, there will be a lacrosse camp held July 8-11 at Chickahominy Middle School for rising 5th through 11th grades.
