June 5, 2013
Deemed by his instructors as the “hardest-working” of this year’s graduates, Gary “Jamal” Wallace, a graduate of Hanover High School with a compassion for cooking since an early age, recently graduated from the J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College’s Program for Adults in Vocational Education (PAVE). The only one of its kind in Virginia, JSRCC’s PAVE program is a two-year vocational training program that serves students with intellectual, physical, emotional and learning disabilities. Wallace began the PAVE program in 2011 in the area of food service. He completed a culinary arts program in high school and continued his
dream at Reynolds. As part of the program, Wallace completed a 200hour internship at Virginia Commonwealth University’s Jonah’s Café where he had the opportunity to work with chefs who were experts in a variety of areas and gain a wealth of experience while consistently maintaining a 4.0 grade point average. Described as friendly and quiet with impeccable manners and a strong commitment to always complete work on time, Wallace has surpassed all odds in spite of serious health issues at an early age. Speaking at the graduation, Wallace said he believes that “when people tell you that you can’t do anything or that you are no good, then you must prove them wrong.” He added, “Never give up on your dreams, make good grades
wherever you go, and never give up on yourself.” The PAVE program provides students with tools to become independent support professionals in their field. Students may earn career studies certificates in Child Care Assistant, Clerical Assistant, Healthcare Assistant and Food Service Assistant. The PAVE program also allows students to work independently through an unpaid, coordinated internship after completing professional and social skills training in the classroom. During a graduation ceremony in the Lipman Auditorium of the Massey Library Technology Center on the Parham Road Campus, 20 students graduated from the PAVE program: six with see PAVE, pg. 4

(Editor’s note: The following was submitted by Jamelle Wilson, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools.) Over the past several weeks there have been a number of questions raised and articles written regarding Mr. Elton Wade and his salary as an employee of Hanover County Public Schools. In an effort to clarify misconceptions which exist, I offer the following points. Mr. Wade currently serves Hanover County Public Schools as a traffic guard at Stonewall Jackson Middle School and at Pole Green Elementary School. Mr. Wade has served the school division since 1961, first as a school bus driver and now in his current assignment as traffic guard. Mr. Wade began serving the school division as traffic guard at Stonewall

In 2001 upon the opening of Pole Green Elementary School, Mr. Wade was given the second job assignment of traffic guard at Pole Green Elementary School. The traffic guard position at Pole Green Elementary School was the first traffic guard position where one employee was asked to fill a second job assignment as traffic guard. Mr. Wade’s compensation for the first job assignment as traffic guard at Stonewall Jackson Middle School for 2001-2002 was $12,362. For the second assignment as traffic guard at Pole Green Elementary School, Mr. Wade was paid $7,947 per year. The school division’s practice at the time that Mr. Wade was assigned to two schools as traffic guard was to compensate

employees based on the number of job assignments, not based on the number of hours they worked. Since 2001, other schools have opened in Hanover, and the school division has employed other traffic guards who are assigned to more than one school in that role. Since 2001, the school division’s practice of compensating traffic guards based on the number of job assignments has changed to a practice of compensating traffic guards by the hour; however, the school division has not adjusted Mr. Wade’s salary to match the current practice. Since 2001, Mr. Wade’s compensation has increased by the same percentages as other employees across the school division who meet job expectations. see WADE, pg. 32

Geez — sometimes just put politics aside As the residents of Moore, Okla., face the daunting task of rebuilding following the destruction left behind by a massive tornado, the people who make their home along the New Jersey Shore are trying to return to some sense of normalcy in the months following Hurricane Sandy. Last week, Gov. Chris Christie and many of his citizens celebrated life after the devastation suffered in October wrecked houses and businesses. Amidst the moving forward attitude we Americans are known for was the inclusion of President Barack Obama. Surprisingly, Christie, a Republican and possible 2016 candidate for the nation’s highest office, was criticized for public appearances with Obama, a Democrat. Well, unity and support have nothing to do with political affiliation — and shame on those who tried to make an issue of the two coming together for the people they both serve. There is no place in our society — or shouldn’t be — for this kind of political rhetoric. Christie welcomed the chief executive officer — as well he should — to view the significant strides his state has made since Sandy roared through, leaving a swath of wreckage in her wake. While the national (dare we say mainstream?!) media rushed about following the two leaders, too much emphasis seemed to be placed on the politics rather than the rebirth of New Jersey’s shoreline and the traditions associated. Let’s think about tourism and the boost to business. The two men united for a common cause: to celebrate a state on the rebound. Should our great state fall victim to some weather-related or other emergency type crisis, I would hope and expect gubernatorial opponents Ken Cuccinelli and Terry McAuliffe to put aside their desires for the top spot in the commonwealth and work together for the people. That’s not asking so much of those who want to lead us. And it should be an expectation on our part for our leaders — regardless of national, state, county or local. Serving is just that. And it’s about us, the people. I’m not endorsing a Christie presidential run, but in putting out the welcome mat for Obama, he performed his office in a respectful manner and for his people. Well done. Melody Kinser

Making point about how chimps have been treated I am writing this letter in response to the article “Chimps must go” published on May 15, 2013. I feel like there were some very important/ key facts that were left out. FACTS: 1. Chimpanzees are an endangered species. 2. The county’s current solution to this problem, if the Sheppersons are unable to find somewhere to move them, is to euthanize the chimps that don’t have county permits. 3. The Sheppersons have federal and state permits for all six of these animals. 4. When talking about the chimps getting out of there enclosure, it wasn’t mentioned that this happened in 2010. Three years ago. Two of the chimps got out. One was immediately recovered, and the other spent the night outside of the enclosure (without incident), and was recovered the next morning. 5. Also regarding the breakout, it was a third party contractor who left the gate open. Several changes ($250,000 worth) have been made to improve and reinforce this enclosure. The Sheppersons have gone above and beyond the recommendations that were made by a primate expert to improve the enclosure. And this same expert has recommended that they not be moved, but stay where they are together. 6. These chimps have already been through a lot. One of the male chimps, Chaos, came to them as a victim of extreme abuse before the Sheppersons rescued him. And the girls came to them on what was supposed to be a temporary basis, because their owner’s federal permits were lost. They were never picked up. They were abandoned on the Sheppersons’ property. 7. At this point these animals have bonded, and become a family. Splitting them up will cause emotional issues for them, and, quite frankly, may kill them, which is putting an endangered species through unnecessary trauma. 8. The county was negligent in its job of keeping tabs on the Sheppersons. If the county had visited the Shepherdsons on evenone occasion between 2002 and 2010 to check on the enclosures and make sure things were in compliance this situation would have come to light much sooner, and perhaps more could have been done to remedy the situation. So, looking back at points 1, 2 and 3, it makes me ask the question: “Will the county have federal or state repercussions if they euthanize four endangered species?” And who will pay for those repercussions? Think about it. I would also like to point out that Mr. Shepperson has been trying to comply with the decree that he find an alternative living space for the chimps, but the only places
that are willing to take them want million dollar donations per chimp. They say that they will have to add on to their existing habitats to absorb four more chimps and that’s why they need the money. Well, the Sheppersons don’t have that money to give them, and the chimps already have a perfectly good enclosure, so why move them. In conclusion, if you or any of your children have ever visited Windy Oaks on a field trip, as I have on several occasions, you have been blessed. These animals are amazing! And it is amazing to have them right in our back yards. It is utter foolishness to think that four of these animals should be killed because that county feels like someone “got one over on them,” because, let;s face it, that’s what this is. Thank you for your time. Please let the county know how you feel about this situation, right, wrong or indifferent. Amy Claassen King William
Congress needs to slow down and investigate IRS On May 10, America learned that the IRS – perhaps the most frightening of all government agencies – has been singling out and targeting conservative groups, including Tea Party groups. The IRS has waged a three-year war against the Tea Party, harassing our groups and even auditing our individual members. This abuse of power is unacceptable and unconstitutional and it must stop. The Tea Party movement began organically in 2010 in response to government excess. Since then, it has attracted millions of Americans. The Tea Party consists of individuals who are committed to defending the Constitution and teaching future generations about the importance of limited government see LETTERS, pg. 8

and fiscal responsibility. The Tea Party has been extremely effective at exposing government corruption and government waste. We’ve had our fair share of successes holding elected officials accountable and influencing legislation. So, in a certain sense, it’s no wonder that Washington’s ruling elite would be on guard against the Tea Party movement. Any movement that challenges Washington’s grip on power and the status quo is going to garner a great deal of attention. The revelation that the IRS has been singling out and harassing conservative organizations comes at a time when Congress is handing off even more power to unelected and unaccountable officials in the Executive Branch. S.744, the Senate amnesty bill, gives decision-making authority for almost all areas of our immigration policies to the Secretary of Homeland Security. The decretary, of course, is nominated for that position and never has to face the voters or be in any way accountable to the American public. But if this scandal at the IRS has taught us anything, it’s that we need to rein in the federal government and make it more
accountable to us. The IRS’s abuse of power highlights why the Senate needs to slow down with its amnesty bill. We simply cannot trust bureaucrats to make the right decisions. Immigration policy is too complex and too important for us to delegate to a group of bureaucrats who may be pursuing an agenda that doesn’t match Americans’ best interest. Tom Chorinos Mechanicsville
Letter spot-on about Wade The Mechanicsville Local’s recent letter to the editor by Joseph Pierro was spot-on. Mr. Sulser wasn’t the story line. The topic was Mr. Wade’s apparent confession to the Richmond Times-Dispatch that a few years back he may have offered School Board positions if someone helped him get re-elected. There was no disputing that fact from anyone. By the way, that was a well choreographed qualifying letter Mr. Wade wrote supporting his possible appointee, knowledge that would have been better said in the RT-D interview. All I can say is that if you pop a top on a can of worms you best be going fishing. Wade-s interview with the RT-D caused another reader to
do a little fishing and came up with a traffic guard job description which they forwarded to me. The job description listed the following: Work schedule: 10 months– 182 days — 4 hours a day = 728 hours Pay grade 6, $10.69 — $19.07 hour The information I received also included Mr. Wade’s salary for his two traffic guard positions, which totaled $30,030.00, an amount $2,264.08 more than the job description specifies and equals $165 a day and assuming benefits additional. I contacted my district supervisor about the discrepancies and he followed up with our school superintendent who explained the over-pay as follows. “Mr. Wade is a 52-year employee of the school division and as a result has a salary which is above the maximum noted on the job posting. The school division does not cap earnings for any of our employees, even though job posting note a maximum.� Please let me know if you have other questions. I have some questions: (1) The job description specifies the pay for a traffic guard job as working 10 months – 182 days – 4 hours a see LETTERS, pg. 19

VFW Post 9808 honor guard Jay Baumgardner offers a solemn salute at the ceremony.
Bill Bolling. The lieutenant governor delivered the keynote address at this year’s service, and stressed the importance of the true meaning of Memorial Day and the constant price of freedom. “This is a special day when we come together to recognize those who have made the
ultimate sacrifice in defense of liberty and in defense of their country,” Bolling said. In a busy society, Bolling said it’s easy to forget the real meaning of what was originally called Decoration Day. “For every one of us here today, there are thousands who won’t participate in a ceremony like this. To them, Memorial Day is just another day off, the official start of summer or
the weekend the pool opens,” Bolling said. “Memorial Day is much more than that. It’s a day to pause and remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in service to their country,” Sean Davis, who represents the Henry District on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, was accompanied by his family, and said the event is an important reminder of the price our veterans have paid to
protect freedoms often taken for granted. “There are still people out there who want to do our nation harm, and they would do us harm is it wasn’t for young men and women who are willing to put their lives on the line every day, and we’re here to remember the ones who did put their lives on the line and didn’t come home,” Davis said. This year’s event also marked
SM
the return of Hanover Veterans Committee co-founder Jack Ward. The former supervisor has been ill and wasn’t sure he’d be ready for the event. “I wouldn’t miss this,” Ward said as he concluded overseeing a program that included the traditional laying of wreaths and ceremonial honors provided by VFW Post 9808.

Ward said this year’s ceremony was an expression of just how much Hanoverians care about their heroes. “It’s wonderful to see so many people come out and recognize those who gave their lives. Those people whose names you see on that wall gave their tomorrows so we could have today.”
Director Greg Sager and the Hanover County Parks and Recreation sponsored the event, which was staffed by volunteers. This year’s Memorial Wreath was laid by The Country School Quilters, and the Rev. Stephen Starzer provided the benediction. A memorial flag was presented and undraped by LeeDavis Navy High School JROTC cadets. Music was provided by the Hanover Concert Band.

day, shouldn’t the required time worked be doubled for two traffic guard jobs if you are taking double salaries? For example, 20 months – 364 days – 8 hrs day (1,456 hours). Looks like in this case one person can handle two schools within the time you allowed for one school. (2) How many other positions in the school system or in the county are exceeding the maximum pay as specified in the job description? Is the maximum noted on the job descriptions for the benefit of the taxpayer so we don’t know how much everyone is actually making? Do we give multiple benefits and multiple retirements for multiple jobs? Is it fair to deceive the taxpayer this way? When you have stuff to give away, and everyone participates, the possibilities are endless. Should we figure “if at first you don’t deceive, try, try again?” Ted Mentz Old Church
More apartments CONCERT Continued from pg. 9 for the county There are some of you homeowners here in Hanover County that think growth is a bad idea. One of the local blogs says, “What is bad?

The Mechanicsville home of George Spruckelsen was the scene on Saturday, May 25, of a fundraiser for the victims of the recent tornado in Moore, Okla. He said he had already planned a Memorial Day party/cookout when a suggestion was made to raise money for the victims. He contacted the American Red Cross to make arrangements for the donations, which totaled about $85. A carnival-type atmosphere featured a moon bounce, fireworks, entertainment, kids’ games, refreshments and demonstrations by the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office and Hanover County Fire/EMS. The event was open to the public.

trying to prevent developers from constructing more apartment complexes in our county. They are trying to deprive certain citizens of their right to live where they please. It gets sillier when these same homeowners claim that the school budgets cannot be met because there are too many children in the county already, and that apartment dwellers don’t pay taxes. I am proud to say I live in an apartment complex with 1,100 neighbors. There is respect for one another, we help each other, and it is a fun place to live. I love kids, and there are plenty of kids here. We do pay our taxes through our rent, our purchases and our activities. In case you homeowners don’t already know, your mortgage payments are a form of rent too: The bank owns your mortgage and
has probably already sold it to another bank, which will, in turn, sell it again. You do not own your house. The reason that school budgets are at the breaking point, is that the federal government has mandates and is trying to micro-manage a business operation that they have no business interfering with. The main function of the federal government has become making citizens miserable, wasting money, and meddling in business. Kids are being dumbed down. I was taught to think and to question everything. Today’s teaching is built around consensus, group thinking, and kids feeling good about themselves. This is a recipe for disaster. There is only one solution: Privatize rducation, issue vouchers to parents, and get the Department of Education out of our Schools. Parents will be the consumer and competition will bring about the best possible results.
Excellence will become affordable. Heads of the Department of Education need to be arrested for “Theft of intellectual property.” God-given free market competition works every time it’s tried, as long as the rule of law prevails, and government is kept at a safe distance. Solvency and quality education will become the norm. For those of you homeowners who think you can stop progress, we have the numbers to easily out-vote you. Justice will prevail.

the East Hanover Volunteer Rescue Squad Auxiliary after much PR [public relations] talk and persuasion from my husband, Nelson. He had joined the rescue squad soon after it was formed and thought I would enjoy belonging to the Auxiliary. He was right! ‘My time in the Auxiliary has been quite diversified. In the beginning I rode calls with other Auxiliary members. It was not necessary for us to be members of the squad to ride calls, and we didn’t have to have a man on the ambulance. Of course, we rode calls with the men, too, but in the daytime most of the men were working
and it was up to us (ladies) to answer calls! I have held various offices in the Auxiliary over the years. I was also a member of the Auxiliary First Aid Team and my children often were the ‘victims’ or ‘patients.’ “There were many fundraising projects such as cake sales, pancake suppers, spaghetti suppers, cookbook sales, Brunswick stew sales, card sales and rabies clinics. All of these required a lot of work, but we didn’t mind because everyone was working together to make money for the rescue squad. In 2010 — my 40th anniversary with the Auxiliary — I received the President’s

ing band. Throughout the summer, James and Tricia will travel from city to city on tour buses, sleep in high school gymnasiums, rehearse 12 hours a day in the scorching heat -- all to participate in one of the most elite marching activities in the world. They will be with the same 150 students throughout the summer who all share the same goal of perfecting their music and field performance. Along the way, they build character, self-confidence and self-esteem, while learning responsibility and the value of teamwork and dedication. At night they perform a 14minute show, in competition, in front of thousands of fans. Each corps strives for perfection throughout the season, in preparation for the World Championships, where one corps will be crowned Champion. Drum Corps International (DCI) is a nonprofit organization which consists of 23 World Class and about 20 Open Class Drum and Bugle Corps. Each corps is made up of 150 boys and girls, age 14 to 22. In order to participate, students must audition for parts. Many students go on to study music and find careers in music education and the music industry. Pennington and Tyler said they have goals of becoming music educators. When they return from their summer tour, Pennington will complete his senior year at Hanover High School as a member of the Marching Hawks, Wind Ensemble and Jazz Ensemble, and Tyler will be attending East Carolina University to study Music Education.

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

(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

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

Hawks fall to Freeman, hit the road for state By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The Hanover Hawks played a good game in the Central Region baseball championship; it just wasn’t good enough to defeat a sharp Douglas Freeman squad. The Rebels struck early and added to their lead to earn the school’s first Central Region title with a 5-1 win over Hanover. Ironically, it was their final change to take a region title due to VHSL realignment next season. Sophomore pitcher Eric O’Brien turned in a complete game for the Rebels, giving up seven hits to the Hawks but keeping them spread to negate Hanover’s ability to score. “I just wished we would have come out with a little more energy, a little more passion,” said Hanover head coach Charlie Dragum. “It seemed like we
were here and saying the right things but I don’t think it was genuine. I think we were really just kind of going through the motions.” The Hawks’ semifinal comeback win against James River the night before may have contributed to the dull play. The incredible swing of emotions in the contest combined with getting home at midnight may have drained the Hanover squad. “It could have been,” Dragum said. “It’s tough if you have a big comeback and just the emotional energy that you spend, and it was a late night last night. “We just did not have that energy that Freeman had,” Dragum added yet he did not want to take anything away from the Rebels. “They made plays,” he said. “They played great team defense and they outcompeted us.” O’Brien struck out the
Hawks’ order to start the game then centerfielder Kyle Farkas opened Freeman’s offense at lead-off, taking a 3-2 pitch from Mathew Corley and sending it out of the park to right for a quick 1-0 lead. The Rebels added to the margin in the bottom of the second after Corley hit Cole Hawkins and Connor Melhorn in back-to-back at bats. Travis Stackow advanced both runners on a groundout to second and Ehtan Payne sent them home with a single to center for a 3-0 lead. Hanover scored their lone run in the top of the fourth but suffered from a controversial call at third and incredible catch in center. Andrew Knizner led off with a single to third and Jeff Decker followed by dropping a shot into short right. Next up, Keith Searles sent

a blistering shot along the left line that appeared in and made the third base umpire spin away from the play. However, the shot that would have driven in two runners was called foul after the umpire recovered. Searles then struck out. Trevor Denton next blasted a shot to the left center wall between fielders but Farkas raced in and stretched to make a highlight reel catch. With both Knizner and Decker in scoring position, senior right fielder Chris Gilliam came to the plate. Throughout the year, Gilliam has quietly produced without receiving much recognition.
“Chris put together a really nice season,” Dragum said. “He fought through some arm difficulty. He had a little tear in his rotator cup and he’s getting through it.” Gilliam, who is second on the team in walks this season, singled to left. When the ball touched down Knizner raced for home only to find Freeman catcher Logan Harvey blocking the base path. With the ball coming in late, the two collided, Knizner was upended and touched down on the plate. Whatever momentum Hanover gained in the score was lost in the bottom of the inning
when Freeman added two more runs for a 5-1 lead. With the loss, Hanover travels to Old Dominion University to take on Eastern Region winner Floyd E. Kellam on Tuesday night. Dragum believes the matchup could play into their favor better than staying home to face Great Bridge. “Great Bridge has the Connor Jones kid that throws 95 mph,” he said. “That’s not a good draw either.” Instead, the Hawks face a team they are familiar with. “I think it’s a cool experience,” he said. “We’re going to get on a charter bus. We’re going to go

With a berth in the state tournament on the line, the Hanover baseball team looked to be in complete control of their Central Region semifinal game at RF&P Park against James River. With Denton on the mound, the Hawks took down the Rapids in order in each of the first two innings and jumped out to a quick 3-0 lead. Junior second baseman Josh Shepherd led off with a single to right in the bottom of the first and came home when senior short stop Andrew Knizner blasted a shot high over the wall in left. But in the bottom of the second, something strange happened. With one out, James River sophomore pitcher Austin Arnold walked Hanover freshman Cayman Richardson. Arnold then gave up a hit to Johnny Gregory to put two Hawks in scoring position. A walk of senior outfielder Brett Whitlow loaded the bases for Hanover. When Shepherd was next walked, it pushed Richardson home for a 3-0 Hawks’ lead. Knizner came back to the plate for a chance to blow the game wide open but Rapids’ third baseman Mac Caples made a fantastic play on a hard

grounder to turn a 5-3 double play and James River escaped. However, demons must have possessed the mound under Arnold’s performance because the pitching did not change when Denton stepped to the rubber. After striking out three of the first six batters he faced in the game, Denton walked Jose Castro on four pitches. He then walked Paul Wood. Denton recorded his fourth K against Christian Redman but it was only the eye of the hurricane as he then walked Harry Lee Watson to load the bases.
Denton’s collapse was so sudden Hanover did not have time to get a relief pitcher loose. As the Hawks scrambled to get someone, anyone, ready to enter the game, they were forced to stick with Denton. “As we’re going through that he walked two, then three and I’m thinking he’s still our best and he’s going to figure it out,” said Hanover head coach Charlie Dragum. “It’s too early in this ball park to make a pitching change. So we stayed with him. Then it got to the point where I didn’t know if he was going to throw another strike.”

Dragum stalled as long as he could. Hawk teammates came to the mound between batters, but Denton could not shake the funk. A walk of Cullen Large pushed in Castro followed by walks of Caples and Jack Roberts, pushing two more runs across the plate to tie the game. “It’s tough,” Denton said. “We were up in that game then I walked six people in a row. Honestly, I was just trying to keep my focus off walking people and then I just kept on over time. It was in my control, I just couldn’t stop the bleeding.” By the time junior Thomas Renfro came on in relief, James River had grabbed momentum. Senior outfielder Stibel Aleman recorded the Rapids’ only hit of the inning, driving a liner past first to plate Large and Caples. Next up Kelvin Marte sent a fielder’s choice to second allowing Roberts to score. When the smoke finally cleared Hanover had given up six runs on one hit and trialed 6-3. “I thought we really had control of the game and we were playing very good baseball then uncharacteristically Trevor walked six in a row and we
didn’t really have anybody ready to go,” Dragum said. In the bottom of the third, the shocked Hawks quickly surrendered two outs bringing Denton to the plate for what should have been an easy out after his recent mound performance. Instead Denton blistered a single to center. Though the Hawks did not score in the inning, the tide appeared to turn back in their favor. “I came into the dugout and kind of just shook it off,” Denton said. “Went in to play third, tried to help my teammates out. Then my next AB I came up and got a base hit and that kind of cleared it a lot more and got some positives.” Hanover trimmed a run from the margin in the bottom of the fourth when Keith Searles singled in Whitlow. When Renfro walked Large to open the fifth, Dragum went to the bullpen for ace Derek Casey. The junior was limited to two innings of action due to VHSL pitching rules, but he recorded three quick outs and the Hawks’ offense went back to work. Whatever demons possessed the mound in the top of the third, returned with a vengeance in the bottom of the fifth to produce a Rapids’ collapse. Senior outfielder Chris Gilliam started the Hawks’ rally with a lead off double to center then scored on a wild pitch and wild throw. After reliever Austin McClellan walked Richardson, Griffin Roberts came to the mound for James River. Roberts walked Gregory and Whitlow to load the bases. He then hit Shepherd in the back to push Richardson home and tie the game 6-6. Justin White then came to the mound for James River and fared no better. White walked Knizner, gave up a two RBI single to Jeff Decker and a RBI double to
Searles. With Hanover suddenly leading 10-6 and still no outs recorded, James River sent Caples, their fourth pitcher of the inning, to the mound. Caples took two Hawks down but then gave up a single to right that drove in Searles for an 11-6 Hanover lead. “The tale of two games, actually three,” Dragum said. “If you bring another guy in it doesn’t mean necessarily he’s going to throw strikes either and that’s what happened to them. Our one guy couldn’t throw strikes they had four guys that couldn’t throw strikes.” In the top of the sixth, Denton continued to show his resiliency by getting two quick outs on back to back athletic plays from third. Dragum made a point of talking about Denton’s resolve to his team after the game. “I just told them Trevor could have put his head between his legs and had the booger lip but he came out and manned up and just played a leadership game for us,” the coach said. “That’s what we needed. We needed that character stuff for us. It was great to see.” Dragum was so impressed by Denton’s ability to rebound he considered putting him back on the mound in the seventh inning to close out the game. Instead he went with freshman Hayden Moore as the Hawks took the win 11-6. For Denton, it was a game to remember. “It was crazy. Somehow we got the win. I’m glad,” he said. “We’re in states now and we’ve got a game tomorrow to win. The group of guys, we just all came together.” James River..... 006 000 0 — 6 3 1 Hanover.......... 210 170 x — 11 10 0 Arnold, McClellan (2), G. Roberts (5), White (5), Caples (5) and Marte.

Cavalier softball returns to states, wins region By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The King William varsity softball team came into the 2013 season burdened by high expectations. After making a surprising run to the Group A state semifinals last year, the Cavaliers, who returned seven starters, were projected to make the journey once again this season. Those expectations came to a head Wednesday evening when King William (20-1) faced Mathews (14-7) in the Region A semifinals. Not only was a trip to the state tournament on the line, but the Cavaliers were forced to face an opponent they narrowly defeated three times previously this season. In the expected pitchers duel, King William broke through in
the bottom of the fourth inning to pick up their fourth win over the Blue Devils 3-0. “It’s extremely difficult especially because Mathews is so well coached,” said King William coach Barb Baker. “(Coach Robert Thomas) knows our pitcher real well and we know their pitcher, so it’s just a battle. It becomes a real battle fundamentally, everything we’re going to do, everything he’s going to do; it’s just like that.” Mathews progressively improved their strikeout numbers against Cavalier pitching sensation Kayla Huffman in each matchup this season. Though Huffman struck out 17 in the first meeting, Mathews trimmed that number to 15 in the second game and 12 in the third. Over the final two meetings, the mar-
gin of victory for the Cavs was 1.5 runs. With so much on the line, Baker admits both she and her team faced a lot of stress. “Absolutely there was a lot of pressure on them today,” the coach said. In the first meeting between the two teams, King William picked up a 3-0 win. Neither of the next two victories over the Blue Devils came that easily. The second meeting went 10 innings with the Cavs pulling out a 3-2 win. The pair faced off a third time in the Tidewater District championship, where Mathews’ pitcher Kayla Robins struck out 12 Cavalier batters and held King William to two hits in a 2-0 Cavs win. “We were really nervous because we knew what they were
Cavalier baseball wins region title Staff reports The King William varsity baseball team won the Group A, Division 2, Region A championship last week thanks to a pair of complete game efforts on the mound. In the Wednesday region semifinals, pitcher Daniel McGehee struck out seven, gave up no earned runs and held off a seventh inning rally as the Cavaliers defeated visiting Lancaster 2-1. On Friday, King William made the long road trip to Nandua where pitcher Justin Balderson also pitched a complete game, gave up no earned runs and struck out 12 as the Cavaliers took the region title 6-4. Chase Reid led the way at the plate in the Cavs win over Lancaster, going 2-for-2 while Chris King scored a run. At Nanuda, Jordan Curry notched a double and two scored runs going 2-for-3 from the plate. Storm Coleman

capable of,” Baker said. “We were all feeling the pressure so I was trying to keep them loose before (the game) just to relax them.” Baker knew a lot depended on how her pitcher approached the fourth meeting. Baker felt she would get some indication by watching Huffman walk the long gravel road leading to the softball field. “When she came skipping down that road, ‘Hey Barb, I’m ready to pitch today.’ … I just knew it was going to be a good day today for her.” Huffman was confident. “I was a little nervous but I knew we could do it,” she said. “I knew we could pull through one more time.” As expected, the two teams resumed their ongoing pitchers’ duel between Huffman and Robins. Through two and one half innings, neither team recorded a hit. Through three and one half innings, Mathews was the only team to send more than three batters to the plate. In the bottom of the third, King William looked to be in good shape when Amy Thomas reached on a leadoff bunt. But with one out, Brittany Hunt’s bunt attempt popped to third, where Taylor South caught the ball on a fly then threw to first catching Thomas in a doubleplay. The bottom of the fourth appeared on pace for the same outcome after Robins struck out Brianna Branch and got Erin Anderson to ground out to second. But the Cavs saw daylight when Essence Jackson was walked and stole second. Then the Jenkins sisters went to work. With a runner in scoring position, catcher Megan Jenkins stepped to the plate, knowing what she had to do. “I just knew I had to get that run in,” she said. “Knew I had to hit it and score it and be aggressive.”

King William sophomore pitcher Kayla Huffman kept form during the Division 2 Region A playoffs, striking out 23 batters over two regional playoff games as the Cavaliers earned a return trip to the state tournament.
Despite her intentions, Jenkins quickly got in a two strike hole and it looked as if the inning would end like each of the previous. Yet when Robins went for the strikeout, Jenkins made solid contact, driving the ball up the middle allowing Jackson to score. With that single hit, Baker felt the attitude of her team suddenly change. “That base hit up the middle was like, ‘Alright here we go’,” she said. “I could almost see everybody take a deep breath.” Kayla Issaacs came on as a courtesy runner for Jenkins, stole second, then scored on a single to second by Lauren Jenkins for a 2-0 King William lead. The Cavs added an insurance run in the bottom of the fifth after Thomas reached on a lead-off walk. She came home when Branch towered a two-out fly ball to left center that was misplayed.
Huffman then took care of the Blue Devils down the stretch, wrapping up a no-hitter with 10 strikeouts while only giving up a single walk. “It’s pretty tough but I knew I could do it with my team behind me, hitting the ball and making plays,” she said. On Friday, the Cavaliers wasted little time in putting away visiting Northumberland for the Region A title. King William scored 12 runs in the first three innings and ran away with a 130 victory. Jackson had a grand slam for the Cavaliers, Branch had a home run and Megan Jenkins was 4-for-4 with a double and three RBIs. Huffman allowed a single hit while striking out 13 in four innings work. On Tuesday King William plays host to Goochland in a 5 p.m. state quarterfinal contest.

Raiders clinch berth in state softball tournament Confederates, Patriots ousted in region play By Dave Lawrence sports@mechlocal.com Three Hanover teams – Atlee, Lee-Davis and Patrick Henry – entered the Central Region softball tournament. Only one remained at the end. Atlee, despite a 3-1 loss to defending state champion Cosby in the tournament final at Lee-Davis Friday, gets another chance in its campaign for a state title. “We’re going down to Great Bridge High School … on Tuesday,” said Atlee head coach John Earley. “With any luck after that, we’ll play for the semifinals and finals up in Northern Virginia.” The Raiders (18-3) clinched a state tournament berth Thursday by knocking off Manchester 9-3 in a semifinal. Cosby (20-1) had eliminated Lee-Davis, the other Hanover County team remaining in the tournament, 4-1 in the other semifinal. Patrick Henry (18-3)
fell to visiting Lee-Davis 5-1 in the quarterfinals Tuesday. The Confederates (18-5) and Raiders subsequently ran into a juggernaut – Cosby’s junior pitcher Chelsea Whitcomb – in the semifinals and final, respectively. In the semifinals, Whitcomb held Lee-Davis to just four hits, striking out 11 Confederate batters. In doing so, she avenged the Titans’ only loss of the season in which Lee-Davis scored eight runs on 11 hits. In the final, she struck out 13 Raiders, holding them to just two hits – both of which came in a seventh-inning rally snuffed out by two strikeouts that ended the game. “I think she was moving the ball fairly well – it looked like it was spinning pretty good from where I was,” said Lee-Davis coach Jackie Davis after Thursday’s semifinal. “We looked at too may pitches. When you have a pitcher that good, you can’t watch the first two strikes and expect to be able
to hit it on the third strike. She’s got you in the pocket by then.” Whitcomb has developed a dominating presence on the mound despite the fact that she originally wanted to play another position. “She wanted to play short,” said Cosby head coach Ray Jeter. “But she was our best option for pitcher last year. She finally decided, ‘I’ll pitch,’ and it was good results for us last year. This year, she came in, she worked hard over the winter. She comes to practice every day, she works hard. She’s a little fatigued right now, but I think she’s OK.” Against Atlee, Whitcomb had a no-hitter going into the seventh inning. Earley had no problem with the Raiders breaking it up. “Oh heck no,” Earley said. “We were going to score some runs and win. We were finally able to do that in the seventh. In the sixth inning we had a chance with runners on second

and third and two outs. We just needed that little punchthrough and couldn’t get it, but we finally got it in the seventh.” Atlee starting pitcher Jessica Holte had a rough first inning against Cosby, but the game settled into a pitcher’s duel after
that. With one out, Holte gave up three straight hits – two triples and a single – and then after another out gave up a double as the Titans scored all three of their runs. She scattered four more hits the rest of the game, finished with five strikeouts.
Earley said she struggled early on with the umpire’s strike zone. “She was having a hard time getting the calls in the first inning,” Earley said. “So she had to bring it right across the plate, see ATLEE, pg. 40 `
Despite early season’s end, L-D, PH reflect on successes By Dave Lawrence sports@mechlocal.com When the 2013 softball season started, Patrick Henry’s Patriots hoped for a second trip to the state title game in as many years. Lee-Davis’ Confederates hoped to regain the state championship it had won in 2011. Both teams made it far – to the Central Region tournament – but both saw their seasons come to what for them was an early end. Patrick Henry fell to the visiting Confederates 5-1 Tuesday in the region quarterfinals.

Patriots could not solve the problem of Confederates’ pitcher Lauren McIntyre. McIntyre held Patrick Henry to two hits. Patrick Henry’s first year coach, Shelby Webb, had no regrets, though. “Overall we had a great season,” Webb said. “For having such a young team, I think we represented Patrick Henry very well. The girls did an awesome job with having so many sophomores and juniors come in. To go undefeated in the district two years in a row, that says a lot about the group that I have. They come out every day ready to work hard, and they want to be better, and we’ve improved a lot over the season.” Lee-Davis coach Jackie
Davis had not had enough time to look back on the season, but she noted some great moments, such as when the Confederates defeated defending state champion Cosby earlier this season. “It’s hard to think of overall right now.” Davis said of her team. “I think we had a really good season. For us to upset [Cosby], and then to come back and upset Atlee in the Capital District tournament, that was big for us. I’m proud that we were able to do that.” For Davis, the timing of the end of the Confederates’ season came as something of a surprise. “If you asked me in February, I would have said you
were crazy if you said that we would be here,” Davis said. “But, you know, they fought hard all year. They’re scrappers. They deserved it.” For the Patriots, though, the end was not that big of a surprise. “I think most people understand when you’re at the top, it’s hard to stay at the top. Those are experiences that for most people are once in a lifetime,” Webb said. “Granted, they would like to be there again, but I think they recognize it takes a lot of hard work and some luck to get there again. They appreciate the experience they had last year and they’re proud of their team this year. We just didn’t quite get that far.”

The Mechanicsville Local June 5, 2013
By Jordan Bondurant Richmond Times-Dispatch NEWPORT NEWS — Patrick Henry senior Travis Phillips won the 110-meter hurdles in 13.99 seconds, and junior Shania Williams claimed the shot put championship with a throw of 42-6¼ to pick up two state titles for the Central Region at the Group AAA meet at Todd Stadium on Saturday. South County was the girls team champion, and Forest Park was boys champion. Patrick Henry, the highestfinishing Central Region girls team, finished fifth. “We left it all out there today, and everyone did what they needed to do,” Patrick Henry coach Scott Brown said. “Shania and Travis’ wins were huge for our team standings wise but also huge for our program.” Phillips, who has committed to East Carolina, also made the 300 hurdles final. He couldn’t catch winner Byron Robinson from Western Branch, but he did earn all-state honors by finishing fourth (38.88). “This is a great way to go out,” Phillips said. “I felt fine in the 110 hurdles, and in the 300, I was just tired and my body started tightening up. But I can’t complain with the outcomes. It’s still a great feeling to come this far.” Atlee’s 10th-place finish made the Raiders the Central Region’s top boys team. Sophomore Austin Cannon added to the Raiders’ points total in the shot put by finishing fifth (53-7) to follow up a sixthplace finish in the discus. Atlee also took third in the 3,200 relay team on Friday. “I think we had a good showing this weekend,” Atlee coach Jim Triemplar said. “We ultimately wanted to be a top five team, but I think we still

Atlee senior Griffin Carmichael won the 800-meter run in the VHSL Group AAA track and field championships at Todd Stadium in Newport News Saturday.
had some good performances from our guys. I’m not too disappointed.” One of the meet’s more heartbreaking moments came in the girls 300 hurdles. Cosby’s De’Nisha Smith was the top qualifier in preliminaries with 43.63, and she had a state title in her grasp coming through the final 100 meters. But about 10 feet before the finish line, Smith got tangled in the final hurdle and tumbled to the track. Great Bridge’s Heather Smith and Atlee’s India Lowe passed Smith at the line. Heather Smith won the state title (42.79), Lowe was second (42.84), and De’Nisha Smith was third (44.13). “I wanted to win. It’s a little disappointing I wasn’t able to do it this year,” Lowe said. “But this is still a nice accomplishment. I gave it everything I had and left it all out on the track. It’s not a bad way to finish my sophomore year. I have to work even harder now so I can come back next year and win it all.” In the girls 800, Midlothian’s
Tessa Riley tried to hold off Ellison Grove from Battlefield in the final stretch, but Riley couldn’t fend her off. She finished second (2:12.61) ahead of Douglas Freeman’s Sarah Thornhill (2:14.47). “I wish I could have won,” Riley said. “But I did the best I could. These girls are really fast, and there was nothing I could do. I think I’ll be happy with the time.” Varina juniors Desmond Dowling and Darrick Thornhill earned all-state honors. Thornhill placed seventh (1:53.66) in the 800, and Dowling finished fourth in the 400 (48.34). “I felt like I could have done better, but I’ve still got time,” Dowling said. “I’m blessed. It’s been a great experience. I just have to keep working at it.” Dowling and Thornhill also earned all-state honors with teammates Deondre Anderson and Dexter Dowling in the 1,600 relay by finishing third (3:17.33).
