Most songs allowed students to delve into higher level thinking skills as they improvised original melodies, and at times engaged in call and response with other improvis-

ing musicians.

These moments showcased not only the band’s talents, but also the talent of their teachers who have taught these students to perform and appreciate the unique style of music known as jazz. see JAZZ, pg. 4

said on Wednesday, June 5, to a crowd in the Barksdale Theatre at the Hanover Tavern.

A resident of Northern Virginia, McAuliffe said he was “excited, but we have some huge challenges.”

In addressing the ongoing financial battles between the political parties in the U.S. Congress, he said continued cuts will significantly impact businesses. “We need a governor who’s going to focus on how to grow and focus on security.”

Innovative projects – “all those things people are talking about for the 21st century – we’ve got to bring those here to Virginia,” McAuliffe added.

With transportation having been a major issue during the recent session of the Virginia General Assembly with the persistence of Gov. Bob McDonnell, McAuliffe frequently used the words “stuck in traffic” in pointing out the gridlock in Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads.

BUY SOME ICE!

He and his wife Dorothy have made their home in Northern Virginia for about 25 years. He said “It’s a grind for Dorothy to go see a ballgame,” when one of their children is playing.

McAuliffe said traffic delays have impacted goods being transported to Dulles Airport for delivery.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

LETTERS

Congratulations to our county’s grads

| Reader Views

Graduation day — one of those memorable events that closes a chapter in one’s life. Such will be the case on Saturday when Atlee, Hanover, LeeDavis and Patrick Henry, the four high schools under the supervision of Hanover County Public Schools, conduct commencement ceremonies at the Siegel Center on the campus of Virginia Commonwealth University.

The schedule is: Lee-Davis, 8:30 a.m.; Hanover, 12 p.m.; Patrick Henry, 3:30 p.m.; and Atlee, 7 p.m.

Today we wrap up the series of articles spotlighting our honor graduates for these schools and congratulate them on a job well done. Academic achievement is the most distinguished for any student. Those representing Hanover County as members of the Class of 2013 truly are the best — and their stories have been a testament to their character.

The high school years should be among one’s best in the chapters of our lives. This writer was fortunate to have had an enjoyable experience in the early 1970s. Coming from a small town has its benefits. And, even though Hanover County is growing by leaps and bounds, we still have that “small town” feel. There’s something to be said about growing up in a Mayberry type setting. (OK, if you’re young, or don’t watch reruns, Mayberry is the fictional town where The Andy Griffith Show was located.)

Anyway, there is a pride in our county that is to be envied. While our school system — exceptional by anyone’s standards — has been under a budget microscope, we have dedicated administrators, teachers and, most of all, students who are like sponges in absorbing all they can to succeed in a competitive world.

The honor graduates are to be commended for their commitment to their schools, fellow students and community. I find it incredibly impressive at how involved they are as volunteers — whether as tutors in their schools, serving our local hospital, or in their churches. Wow! We wish only the best to all graduates as a new chapter starts for them.

They’ve been given a strong foundation on which to proceed. Thank you for making us proud — and congratulations.

He genuinely cares about the students, and it is obvious that he has their best interest at heart.

He is not only respected by the students, but he also is respected by the faculty and staff at Lee-Davis for his understanding of the demands of teaching and willingness to go the extra mile to help teachers, whether it is grading papers, making telephone calls to parents, or taking over teacher duties to allow us more time to get our work done.

Not only is Mr. Sulser a community-minded gentleman with strong morals and values, but he has developed an understanding and has had exposure in Hanover County Public Schools from a first-hand experience, all of which would be beneficial for someone interested in a position on the Hanover County School Board.

Addison Hill; a brother, Herman O. Tyree Jr. (Mary Catherine); and a special friend, Jean Sharp.

Mr. Tyree was an active member of Hillcrest Baptist Church, Mechanicsville, where he served in a quiet and unassuming manner, supporting church activities wherever he was needed. He was lovingly called “Mr. Dependable” by the church family. Cooking was one of his gifts and the church looked forward to Mr. Homer’s spaghetti when the Celebration Sunday School Class was scheduled for Wednesday Night Supper.

Perhaps his favorite area of ministry was participating in the feeding program for Freedom House at 12th and Hull Streets on every fifth Friday of the year.

Burial services will be private. A memorial service will be held at Hillcrest Baptist Church, 11342 Hillcrest Rd., Mechanicsville, at 11:30 a.m. on Thursday, June 13, 2013.

County needs to come clean The first page of the May 30, 2013, Richmond TimesDispatch shows Elton Wade’s crossing guard salary as $41.21 per hour. (This is a must read for Hanover residents.)

He also is a members of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors for the Cold Harbor District. What a great deal for him. He actually works 1½ hours per day as a crossing guard.

This comes to $110 per hour or $165 per day for a 1½ hours for directing traffic. Several Hanover county residents have checked how long Wade is at each school sometime ago.

Elton makes $25,500 as a supervisor and over $30,000 as a parttime crossing guard — not bad for an 80-year-old fellow. Well done, Elton!

The Hanover County School Board and the Board of Supervisors don’t see anything wrong with this deal. (Elton Wade doesn’t). But this is exactly what it is. It is waste, fraud and abuse.

The county is less than forthcoming on this and other issues when it comes to gross

mismanagement, waste, fraud and abuse. I give kudos to the reporter, Brandon Shulleeta, for reporting this case and to the staff of the Times-Dispatch for placing it on the front page.

If this reporter gets an FOIA (Freedom of Information Act), I bet you he will find many worms squirming in the county. Hanover County must come clean on this and other financial issues of waste, fraud and abuse.

This new Board of Supervisors got their hands full and must act on these issues with diligence and fast. We, the Hanover County taxpayers, are watching you along with the entire region. This is a good old boy network in Hanover. Now Wade will appoint his crony manager on the School Board.

Never mind that there are more qualified residents for this post.

I brought up this issue back in 1999 when I was running for the Mechanicsville District supervisor, but at that time voters of Hanover and the Cold Harbor District voters especially did not care to hear it.

They voted for Elton Wade ever since. So the old adage of you get the government you deserve is true!

But I believe we must fight this abuse, waste and fraud that is perpetrated upon the voters of the Cold Harbor District and Hanover County.

I am still trying to resolve in my mind what happened. The arguments put forth in favor of this project were so reflective of the way our out of control politicians, just north of here on Interstate 95, conduct the peoples’ business.

Angela Kelly Wiecek, Chickahominy District representative on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, presented her case in favor of a four-story apartment complex in her district using employees from several county departments to make her case. This is what I heard and saw.

1) Is it a field of dreams?

Build it and they will come!

2) Horse before the cart?

Business paves the way for residents! Or do residents pave the way for business? Is economic development a certainty?

3) Upside down county – Kelly-Wiecek acknowledged that the project would cost the county taxpayers. Is diversity in housing another Agenda 21 social engineering move? She justified additional costs by saying “That is just the way it is.”

The Montpelier Center for Arts & Education recently held a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of the Village Green. This $800,000-plus project on the grounds was the result of a grant from the Department of Transportation, which ran through Hanover County with a 4 to 1 match from the center. The beautification project included bike racks, brick courtyard and walkways, granite benches, brick serpentine wall, rose gardens and many plantings. Shown are, from left, Richard Claridge, the center’s board president, Wayne Hazzard, South Anna representative on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors; Jane Galbraith, Village Green committee member; Barbara Jones, Village Green Committee member; Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr., county administrator of Hanover County; and Rosewell Page III, Village Green honorary co-chair.

The first 100 campers at the new Chick-fil-A in Ashland on Thursday, May 30, received a year of supplies after having been camped out in the parking lot for 24 hours. Nine states, including Florida and Missouri, were represented. The line included a 92-year-old Virginia resident, who is the same age as Chick-fil-A founder Truett Cathy. Campers were entertained with games, prizes and food. Among the activities offered to help pass the time until the official opening was a marshmallow shaving cream game. The new fast food restaurant, operated by franchisee Howe Rice, has brought some 70 new jobs to the community.

The Ashland Street Parties, which provide fun for all ages, will continue the 2013 season on Saturday, June 15. Hours are 6:30 to 11 p.m. at the plaza behind the Ashland Library.

This month’s event is being co-presented by the Ashland Kiwanis and will feature the music of Sons of Zebedee.

ASP also will sponsor street parties in June, August and September.

Food and beverages will be

available throughout the event.

Tickets for all parties are $10 in advance and $20 at the gate.

They can be purchased online (a $1 service fee is added) at www.ashlandstreetparties.com or at all First Capital Bank branch offices, all Hometown Realty locations, Minuteman Press (Kings Charter), EVBAshland office, Ronald Toombs Insurance Agency, The Caboose Wine & Cheese, Dew Realty, Ashland Ace Hardware and Cross Brothers Grocery. see ASP, pg. 17

plex, citing financial difficulties.

I wonder why it’s easier to get financing for apartments than condominiums.

5) The Vote: Our supervisors all voiced reasons for their voting preference. Wayne Hazzard, Sean Davis and Aubrey “Bucky�

Stanley all voted against this high density rental property.

They listened to citizens and voted for fiscal responsibility.

The other four supervisors did not listen to citizens or exercise common sense. How many of the total population of Hanover would vote for a high density rental apartment complex in their neighborhood? Finally, the swing vote, Elton Wade, Cold Harbor supervisor, who for 20 years has voted for citizens’ interests first, changed and recommended the approval of the project. What happened to constituents’ wishes?

6) Will first responders cost in specialized training and equipment increase?

Canova Peterson, Mechanicsville District supervisor, cited property rights as his reason for voting for the project.

He supports treating all multifamily housing the same. If our county ordinances and requirements are the same for owner condos, as for renter apartments, we need to change these ordinances and requirements.

If you want your county run by a group of progressive planning “visionaries� and supervisors who support their views, then do nothing. On the other hand, get informed and get involved. We have a responsibility as citizens of Hanover to support each other whether we live in Beaverdam or Old Church. If you would object to

a project or new zoning in your neighborhood, then support your fellow citizens in the fight – regardless of where you live, your supervisors want and need your input before public hearings. They make their decisions based on your calls and e-mails prior to the public meeting.

Despite the change by progressive planning “visionaries� and supervisors, I have faith that they will listen to the “We The People.� We must get involved if we are to keep this county — the most desirable place to live, work and play.

Major Mansfield Mechanicsville

Over the past several months there has been discussion about the now approved Charleston Ridge Community. The most vocal of the feedback that I heard was centered around opposition of the project, due to Hanover County not needing more apartments because with apartments comes increased crime potential, financial drain on Hanover County Public Schools and demand for other essential services.

I certainly understand the concerns that nearby residents would have to this change and the unknown.

As I learned more about the project, it became clearer to me that this was a prudent project for our Board of Supervisors to approve. My thoughts were based on the track record of the developer who also developed and owns Charter Creek not to mention lives in Kings Charter, both just a short distance away from Charleston Ridge.

When my wife and I were

married in 1999 we lived in the Charter Creek community for a little over a year.

We chose Charter Creek because it was a well run community with a professional and courteous staff. I can tell you that we thoroughly enjoyed living there and became friendly with other residents who lived in Charter Creek for some of the following reasons. They were in transition before purchasing homes in Hanover, were living there to be near family and also folks who downsized and did not want the responsibility of owning a home and caring for a yard. These are just a few of the many reason that we need quality transition communities in Hanover.

My reason for saying all of this is because it has become obvious to us all that the developer has jumped through all of the Planning and Zoning steps and has followed all of the requests made of them.

I feel that this will be a well run community and it also will add to the bottom line of the Hanover County tax revenue with the economic development that these new residents will stimulate with their purchasing power in local stores and restaurants.

I would like to commend Angela Kelly-Wiecek, Canova Peterson, Ed Via and Elton Wade for seeing past the politics and approving this project that will benefit our county in many ways.

I believe that once Charleston Ridge is completed and operational, many of those who opposed the project will see that the good will out way the initial fears.

Rains knock out electric service

By Jodi Deal jdeal@mechlocal.com After a weekend of soaking rain, storm activity ramped up Sunday night in Mechanicsville, leaving trees down, some buildings damaged and thousands of customers without electric service.

According to Jeff Orrock of the National Weather Service’s

Storms that rolled through Mechanicsville left their mark Sunday evening. The photo at left shows the back yard of a house located on Spring Ivy Lane in Kings Charter. Rather than a yard, it looks more like a stream following the downpours that struck around 7 p.m. At right, a tree teeters precariously on Track Road off Atlee Road. Mechanicsville was under a tornado warning but there were no official reports of any on the ground.

Wakefield office, despite fears of tornado activity during the storm, weather officials said they think what happened was just a powerful thunderstorm.

“They’re not seeing anything they think is tornadic,” Orrock said, after speaking with weather officials who were evaluating see RAINS, pg. 25

Jackson defines ‘conservatism’ at panel event Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com

BISHOP E.W. JACKSON

BishopE.W.Jackson,Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, made a surprise appearance Thursday at a panel discussion presented by the Mechanicsville Tea Party. He defined “conservatism” in addressing the crowd.

Robert Shannon, president of

the local organization, said Jackson, “long admired by tea partiers and other conservatives for his steadfast defense of traditional values and Constitutional principles, brought the crowd at Life Church in Mechanicsville to their feet as he strode confidently in to the rousing strains of the Marine Hymn.”

The former Marine earned a Juris Doctor degree from

Harvard Law School and founded Exodus Faith Ministries in Chesapeake.

Shannon said Jackson delivered “a brief but characteristically impassioned speech echoing central themes of his campaign.”

“We must fight for policies that resist Washington and rein in Richmond,” Jackson said, “and unleash the productive and cre-

ative capacities of our people to build, grow, and prosper.”

Jackson’s remarks capped a 90-minute exploration of two key questions: What Is a Conservative?

And Are You a Conservative?

The three-person panel was moderated by Robin Lawson, editor of the Tidewater Review. see JACKSON, pg. 25

‘Team Clarke for a Cure’ Photo submitted by Jessica Clarke

Two Mechanicsville residents are taking up the fight against cancer. Husband and wife Drew and Jessica Clarke have formed “Team Clarke for a Cure” to raise money to benefit the Light The Night campaign of The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society (LLS). On May 18, Team Clarke for a Cure hosted the 2013 Roger Clarke Memorial Golf Tournament at The Crossings Golf Club in Glen Allen. The tournament is held in memory of Roger Clarke, Drew’s father, who was lost to lymphoma in March 2003 at the age of 52. Seven teams of golfers were joined by a number of spectators. Proceeds and donations from the tournament totaled $1,450. The Crossings Golf Club donated four complimentary greens fees to be used as prizes for the tournament. The winning team included Charles Whitlock, Marty Whitlock, Jason Whitlock and Dave Caddell, all of Mechanicsville. Finishing second were Travis Conder, Shawn Fidler, Matt Joseph and Josh Holder of Richmond, who tied the winning team’s score but lost in a tie-breaking match of cards score comparison. The mission of the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is to cure leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma and Hodgkin’s disease and to improve the quality of life of patients and their families. According to LLS, nearly 50 percent of all FDA approved cancer drugs in the past decade were for blood cancer. Many are now being tested for other cancers and other illnesses such as prostate cancer, ovarian cancer and auto-immune disorders. Light The Night Walk events are evenings filled with inspiration. During the leisurely walk, walkers carry illuminated balloons -- white for survivors, red for supporters and gold in memory of loved ones lost to cancer. Thousands of walkers across the United States and Canada form a community of caring, bringing light to the dark world of cancer.

Richmond’s Light The Night Walk will take place Oct. 26 at the Virginia Historical Society. To donate, see updates for Team Clarke for a Cure, learn more about the mission of the LLS, and/or sign up for the Light The Night Walk, visit Drew and Jessica Clarke’s team fundraising site at http://pages.lightthenight.org/va/Richmond13/TeamClarkeforaCure.

“We’re seeing a lot of reports of flooding,” Orrock said, noting that the ground was already soaked from the previous days’ rain.

Pat Thacker, a volunteer with Hanover Community Support Services since its beginning in 1991 and one of the founders of the “A Taste of Hanover” fundraiser, is the 2013 recipient of the Jean C. Harris Award for Excellence, the top annual award given by Hanover Community Services.

Thacker retired in 2007 as director of Mental Retardation Services for the Hanover CSB after 24 years of service. Since her retirement she has continued to lead volunteer efforts centered on supporting those with disabilities.

“A Taste of Hanover” is a collaboration with private community partners whose proceeds support individuals with disabilities.

Thacker was quick to give credit to others. “I did not do this alone, but worked with Hanover Arc, volunteers, businesses and organizations to create this fun event, which has developed into a community-wide public/private partnership.”

Thacker, who knew the Harris personally, was “very honored and humbled to receive this award.”

“To say she was an advocate for the rights of people with disabilities is an understatement,” Thacker said.

Information submitted by Tom Harris, Hanover County public information officer.

VCU Medical Center is making way for Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU’s new Children’s Pavilion. A portion of 11th Street will close for construction this summer, from June 17 to August 30, between Broad and Marshall streets. Current valet and self-parking options will not change.

Hawks crowned state baseball champions

By Eric Kolenich Richmond Times Dispatch CHANTILLY — After a six-hour slumber, Derek Casey rose from his bed early Sunday morning and arrived at the team breakfast by 7:30 a.m. An hour or so later, he boarded a tour bus destined for Westfield High School and returned to the same mound where he had pitched just 16 hours earlier.

One day after picking up the save in the state semifinals, the Hanover junior pitched six innings Sunday, allowing one run on three hits as Hanover defeated Great Bridge 2-1 to win the Group AAA state title.

“I was still running on adrenaline,” Casey said. “It was tough to go to sleep last night.”

Instead of staying in a hotel, the Hanover baseball team chose to drive home Saturday night. The Hawks got home a little before midnight, and the first pitch of Sunday’s game was at 1 p.m.

See also YOUTH, pg. 43

Casey, who has committed to Virginia, wasn’t at his sharpest, walking five batters. But his curve was on point and Great Bridge batters struggled to keep up with his 90-mph fastball.

Using his last six innings of eligibility for the week, Casey struck out 10 batters. He pitched in all three games of the tournament, picking up a four-hit shutout against Kellam in the quarterfinals and the save in the semis. Friday’s rain pushed back the last two days of the tournament, allowed him more innings than had the championship been held Saturday. Casey finished the year with a 0.89 ERA. With Casey unable to pitch the seventh, Hanover coach Charlie Dragum went to freshman Hayden Moore, who forced three flyouts, ending the game.

Though he’s thrown only 82/3 innings this year, he’s no stranger to high-pressure situ-

Charlie Leffler/The Local

All of the Hanover Hawks were flying as high as Ben Nachman after their 2-1 come-from-behind victory over Great Bridge in the VHSL Group AAA state baseball championship game Sunday.

ations. Moore pitched in the region semifinals and final.

“I’m speechless,” Moore said.

“I’m so excited right now.”

Great Bridge (Chesapkeake,

23-4) opted to use its ace, U.Va. pledge Connor Jones, in the semifinals. He was unavailable Sunday. But sophomore Chris Mathews didn’t disappoint,

throwing 52/3 innings, allowing two runs on seven hits.

The Hawks (23-4) scratched out both runs in the sixth. Third baseman Trevor Denton laced

an 0-2 curve to right field for Hanover’s first biggest hit up to that point. A Chris Gilliam single scored pinch runner Taylor McDougal.

Then a sacrifice bunt by Cayman Richardson brought home Denton. The bunt was placed precisely down the firstbase line, and Great Bridge had no play at home.

Last week, Denton got a little advice on how to approach 0-2 pitches. Austin Erb, a member of the 2009 Hanover squad, paid a visit to the 2013 squad. If you’re down 0-2, he told the current Hawks, watch for the curve.

When Denton got a curve down the middle of the plate, he jumped on it.

Until Sunday, the 2009 team was the most successful in Hanover’s 10-year history.

“I’m just really proud of the kids and everyone who went through the program the last 10 years,” Dragum said. “It’s just a dream come true.”

Farewell, and thank you for all the memories

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Cleaning out my desk the other day, I came across an ancient sticky-note scribbled with a pair of cell phone numbers. One of the names on that note was a young unknown wide receiver named Deion Branch.

The note dated long before

The Mechanicsville Local June 12, 2013

Branch helped the New England Patriots win a pair of Lombardi trophies and turn in a 2005 Super Bowl MVP performance.

Therefore that note made me reflect on my past in sports.

Branch is just one of many young athletes I’ve had the privilege to watch go from virtual obscurity to national recognition. I can recall a Conference USA media

day where I sat alone at table interviewing young unknown guard named Dwayne Wade.

Watching this year’s NBA playoffs, I realized half of New York Knicks roster were players I covered during their college careers. There was also a massive bruising quarterback by the name of Ben Roethlisberger who I saw rumble his way into

the national consciousness in the 2003 GMAC Bowl. On the opposite side of the ball was a young linebacker who saw little playing time by the name of Elvis Dumervil.

I’ve seen so many athletes who followed similar paths over the years.

That being said, I’ll admit I was somewhat spoiled when I

moved to Virginia in 2005.

Prior to that time, my work in sports media consisted solely in coverage of major Division I athletics. Naturally you know everything when you cover the best? Correct?

Youth played key role in Hanover’s state title win

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Baseball is a game of failure and sacrifice.

In order to win the big games, you have to know how to lose. To earn the big reward, you have to know how to forfeit personal glory.

“You’re going to fail more times than you succeed,” said Hanover left fielder Cayman Richardson. “That’s why in the major leagues .300 is considered a good batting average. Baseball is a game of failure, so I just keep working hard.”

Wise words for any athlete but not what one would expect to come from a freshman. But Richardson is not your ordinary freshman; nor are his classmates Johnny Gregory and Hayden Moore.

Hanover came into the season boasting a depth of experience capable of winning a VHSL AAA state championship. They did just that, but ironically it never would have happened without the play from the trio of first year players.

Though solid contributors throughout the year, the trio resided in the shadows of their more experienced teammates.

Yet, in what became an unsung heros’ game for the state title, the overlooked players stepped

to the forefront.

Over the first five innings of play, Hanover proved they could get runners on the base. What they could not do was get them home, stranding five men during the seven-inning span.

Trailing Great Bridge 1-0 in the top of the sixth, the Hawks found themselves in a familiar situation with two runners, pinch runner Taylor McDougal and third baseman Trevor Denton, on base. The next four batters coming to the plate were a senior in his first full year of action, two freshman and a junior who didn’t play baseball last year – not the most optimistic scenario for most teams.

Hanover is not like most teams.

Though known mainly for his speed on the base paths and ability to pick up walks, Gilliam stepped to the plate and punched a single to left field, plating pinch runner Taylor McDougal to knot the game 1-1.

That set up Richardson for a chance to give the Hawks the lead and a chance at their first state championship.

Nervous? Not this freshman.

“I really haven’t had any nerves all season,” he said. “I need to do what I need to do to win the state.”

What Richardson needed to do was lay down the perfect bunt, set himself up to not record a hit and most likely get thrown out at first base.

“I was just thinking over and over again in my head, I can do it. I can do it,” Richardson said.

“I’m getting this bunt down. I’m getting this bunt down.”

Richardson did as he planned, rolling a bunt up the first baseline then hustling to beat the throw to first. He failed to beat the throw, but was rewarded with the knowledge that he allowed Denton to score what would become the winning run.

“They do not get nervous,” Hanover head coach Charlie Dragum said of his freshmen.

“They play.”

Gilliam agreed. “They have no fear,” he said. “They go out there swinging the bat and they produce. When you put balls in play you’ll be successful.”

When ace pitcher Derek Casey reached his limit after six innings, Dragum faced the decision of who he should put on the mound. A state championship was at stake and Great Bridge had their best three hitters coming to the plate. For Dragum, there was never any question. He went with his freshman, Moore.

“We didn’t have any doubts,” he said.

Nerves? Not for Moore.

“Once we got the lead I knew I just had to go in there and shut them down,” he said.

On a 1-2 count, Moore got Dane Smith to fly out to center field.

“Once I got that first out I knew I was in my zone to shut them down,” Moore said.

“Everything went good from there.”

Moore took care of matters

himself for the second out, fielding a high pop fly from Brett Cooksey.

When Charlie Cody sent a long fly ball to right, Gilliam was there to end the game and claim the trophy.

“Hayden came in and shut the door,” Dragum said. “That’s against 1, 2 and 3, three of the best hitters in the state. That was pretty cool.”

With one championship under their belt, the question now is how good will Hanover

be next year, and the year after… and the year after.

“Our freshmen, we have a decent group right there,” Moore said. “We can win this again.”

Gregory agreed. “I feel like great things are going to happen here.”

When the season began would Gregory have thought it possible to win a state championship with three freshmen?

“That would be like a dream,” he said but quickly added. “It’s coming true.”

Farewell

Though providing coverage of relatively few schools in the Richmond area, I have since covered at least one local team that played in a state championship game every year since.

From Monacan to James River to Hanover baseball, Goochland boys’ and girls’ soccer to Atlee indoor and outdoor track; Lee-Davis and Patrick Henry softball coming full circle back to Hanover baseball and Goochland softball this season; it has been an incredible run.

And how can I leave out the repeated state semifinal runs of the Hanover football team,

Randolph-Macon men’s basketball advancing to the NCAA DIII Final Four, Atlee girls’ volleyball vying for a state championship, last season’s historic run by the American Legion Post 175 baseball team, Mechanicsville Little League reaching the World Series and Goochland’s back-toback appearances in the Group A state football championship, culminating with the 2012 title.

Coming to Virginia I thought I knew all there was to know about rivalries; Louisville vs. Kentucky is about as bitter as they come. Then I discovered RMC vs. Hampden-Sydney; Atlee

vs. Hanover vs. Lee-Davis vs.

Atlee… lesson learned.

Now that has come to an end.

As some may already know, I am stepping down from my position as sports editor for the Mechanicsville Local and Goochland Gazette to return to Kentucky. I am making the move for family but I feel like I am leaving a family behind. It is a move proving to be decidedly more difficult than I thought it would be six years ago when I stepped into this position.

I have learned so much from the quality, determination and

spirit of the local athletes it has been my privilege to cover.

The hours have been long and the labor arduous but I regret not a single moment of it. I have watched young athletes rise up through the Little League ranks to become high school stars. I have seen high school athletes go on to make a lasting mark in college and college stars become professionals.

The athletes did all the work; I just enjoyed the ride.

There are so many people I need to thank for what they have given me through this experience. I cannot name them

all. The coaches, the players and their parents have made a lasting impression on my heart.

I hope that in some ways I have left a lasting impression on the RSN readers as well.

None of the athletes I have covered during my time in Virginia will hold any lower position of stature in my memories than those of Branch, Wade and others.

The sticky note simply reminded me just how much things can change and how lucky I have been.

I wish you well.

— Charlie Leffler

truly privileged I have since become.

When I was first hired as a freelance reporter/photographer for Richmond Suburban Newspapers, then-sports editor Brian French assigned me to cover a Monacan baseball team that was backing its way into postseason play. Over the next few weeks I followed the Chiefs on their incredible run to the VHSL AAA state championship, which started a remarkable streak for me as a reporter.

King William softball falls to Goochland, 2-1

By Arthur Utley sports@mechlocal.com CENTRAL GARAGE – Solid defense behind reliable performances by sophomore pitcher Jackie Tremain have been hallmarks of the Goochland softball team’s most successful season in school history.

The two factors coupled with two triples and two runs by senior shortstop Chakiryn Jackson are why the Bulldogs (21-4) have advanced to the Group A, Division 2 softball tournament semifinals for the first time.

The Bulldogs, Region B runners-up, traveled to Region A champion King William Tuesday afternoon for a quarterfinal matchup and came away with a 2-1 victory that propelled them into the state semifinals Saturday at Radford, where they defeated James River 3-1. Goochland fell 4-1 to Floyd County in the state championship game Sunday.

King William (21-2) was bidding to return to the state semifinals where the Cavaliers’ season ended a year ago.

Goochland, which didn’t make an error in its Region B semifinal against Bluestone, struggled in the field (five errors) in the region championship loss to Dan River. The Bulldogs were resolute about returning to form in the field against the Cavaliers.

“We got ourselves together.

We really worked on flushing

Charlie Leffler/The Local

our minds, forgetting about it, learning what we did wrong and just going in there with a clear mind,” Tremain said.

Tremain, a lefthander, scattered six hits, struck out three and walked two. She gave up King William’s run in the fourth when opposing pitcher Kayla Huffman (nine strikeouts, three walks, three hits allowed) laced a triple to drive in Lauren Jenkins who had walked.

“I felt like I hit all my zones, but it was really my defense behind me that helped tremendously,” Tremain said. “It helps as a pitcher to know you have a good defense behind you because you can mistakes, and they will be there to back you up.”

Third baseman Jordan Fleming, one of three Goochland seniors, had five putouts. Catcher Brandi Tester threw out pinch runner Kayla Issaac trying to steal, and first baseman Erika Spencer dove to her left to snare a hot grounder

by KW third baseman Essence Jackson, the Region A player of the year.

Right fielder Kaytlyn Jones finished off an unusual double play that kept the Cavaliers off the scoreboard in the fifth inning. With one out and runners on first and second, Chakiryn Jackson grabbed a sinking liner off her shoe top for the second out. Her throw to second to double up Brittney Hunt skittered into right field

where Jones picked it up and threw Hunt out at third.

The Bulldogs thwarted another KW scoring opportunity in the sixth.

“Our defense has been pretty strong throughout the year as a whole. We had a rocky day [against Dan River]. We knew that we had to have a strong defense to get it done because [King William} wasn’t going to make errors on their defense.

We knew coming into the game that we had to be strong, and we executed,” Fleming said.

Chakiryn Jackson opened the game with a triple to right center field and scored on Tester’s high-chopped bouncer over the mound. Jackson, a senior, struck again with one

out in fifth when her dying line drive scooted under the glove of diving King William right fielder Erin Anderson.

Fleming knocked in Jackson on a groundout to third.

“It’s so exciting. We’ve never been this far. I’m a senior. We had to bring clothes in case we lost so we don’t have to change now,” Jackson said. “I’m so happy. It feels so good.”

King William coach Kay Gammon was disappointed with the result.

They outplayed us. We prepared for them. It just wasn’t

Raiders eliminated in state softball quarterfinal CHESAPEAKE — Atlee fought as hard as it could, but the Raiders could not overcome a two-run single by Great Bridge’s Delaney Ambrose in the bottom of the sixth inning and

were eliminated by the Wildcats 2-0 in the VHSL Group AAA softball quarterfinals Tuesday.

Great Bridge went on to the state semifinals at Westfield, where the Wildcats defeated Orange County 4-1 Saturday, then squeaked by Stone Bridge

10-9 to claim the state championship Sunday.

Atlee starting pitcher Jessica Holte held the Wildcats to seven hits, while her counterpart, Sydney Harless, held the Raiders to just four hits.

She also held her composure

despite three errors by her defense.

Atlee did what it could to come back in the top of the seventh inning, loading the bases with two outs before Harless struck out Blair Jones to end the game.

our time,” Gammon said.

“They played their hearts out.

Unfortunately, we couldn’t piece our hits together. It was the first time we saw a lefty. That could have had something to do with it. We threw a lefty for two days trying to get used to it.”

The Cavaliers will be strong again next year. Huffman, a sophomore who has been the district and region pitcher of the year two years in row and was first-team All-Metro last year, returns as does Essence Jackson.

Stratton says so long

By Dave Lawrence sports@mechlocal.com It’s a wonder that Bob Stratton doesn’t run around more often wearing a hard hat.

While the retiring Hanover High School activities director does not hang out around decrepit buildings, and while there is nothing that needs to be hidden on that closely cropped head of his, in his 34 years of public education – 22 of them in Hanover County – he has helped establish and build athletic programs in nearly every school for which he worked, and he has helped mentor the careers of others who have followed him into the ranks of athletics and activities directors.

You might just call him “Bob the builder.”

He retires after 10 years as activities director at Hanover to take the take the athletics director position at Steward School. The past couple of years Stratton had been telling friends and colleagues that he might be ready for a change.

“The opportunity at Steward School came available and I was fortunate enough to be offered the opportunity to take on the position.,” Stratton said during the final night of the Capital District’s spring jubilee in May. “I’m excited about it, but at the same time it’s going to be hard to walk out of Hanover High School.”

Stratton caps his decade with the Hawks’ first state baseball championship – a 2-1 victory over Great Bridge in the VHSL Group AAA championship game at Westfield High School in Chantilly Sunday – rather appropriate given that he spent his first 18 years in public education as a baseball coach.

“When I put my head on my pillow tonight – for being a

Bob Stratton Timeline • John Rolfe Middle School, 1979-1982 • Mills Godwin High School, 1982-1991 • Atlee High School, 1991-2000 • Patrick Henry High School, 2000-2003 • Hanover High School, 2003-2013 baseball coach to my last day to be part of a state baseball championship – yeah, it’s special,” Stratton said after the team returned to Hanover from the championship game Sunday.

But Stratton made it clear the celebration was for the team, not for him – even when he presented the championship trophy to the Hawks immediately after the game.

“This isn’t about me, this is about that group of kids and those coaches,” Stratton said.

“Actually, after I presented the awards, I went off to the side because I wanted this to be about what their accomplishment was. … This isn’t about Bob Stratton. This is about Charlie Dragum and this baseball program and every one of those kids who worked hard to achieve that award and that championship today.”

Such modesty and willingness to give up the spotlight for others may explain Stratton’s success. He began his career at the then-new John Rolfe Middle School in 1979. He then helped open Mills Godwin High School in 1982, Atlee in 1991, and helped plan and open

Hanover in 2003. The only school he did not help open was Patrick Henry, where he worked from 2000-2003.

“He’s excellent to work with,” said his Capital District rival Tom Jeremiah, activities director at Henrico High School, who has known Stratton for 17 years. “He’s somebody we call for questions and help and guidance. He’s been around the block and knows, you know, both the Colonial District and the Capital District real well.”

Stratton is also loyal.

“Personally, his biggest help to me was the fact that he was an Henrico High School alumnus,” Jeremiah said. “He was behind us, helping us get the [Henrico High School] hall of fame started and making nominations of players and coaches for the hall of fame. … He joined us for the 50th anniversary this year. He came to our celebration at our game – was here that night as opposed to being at Hanover.

He’s always been supportive of Henrico High School in general.”

Stratton has likewise been generous with his time with other competitors, helping his fellow activities directors – such as Della Childress at Lee-Davis and Dave Kannewurf at Atlee – build their own careers.

“He’s been a fabulous colleague,” Childress said. “It’s great to be able to work with an AD so closely on things. You can talk through issues that you’re having. You can get advice.

I think the AD’s in Hanover County, we’re close. We talk a lot. We help each other quite a bit, and Bob has always been that AD that, if I needed some advice on how to handle a situation, I can talk to him. … His advice is solid.” see STRATTON, pg. 47 `

Cavaliers ousted from state tourney

By Dave Lawrence sports@mechlocal.com Wilson Memorial and King William quickly settled into a pitcher’s duel in the opening round of the VHSL Group A, Division 2 state playoffs, and when the game entered extra innings, it was clear that mistakes may decide each team’s fate.

And when Cavalier catcher Storm Coleman dropped a third strike with a runner on second and two outs in the top of the ninth, the two teams’ fate was set.

The batter, Hornets’ right fielder Justin Leary, immediately took off and Coleman threw the ball well over King William first baseman R.C. Sutton’s outstretched hand to allow Leary to reach and – more important allow Wilson Memorial shortstop Brandon Gochenour to score to lead the Hornets to a 1-0 victory over the host Cavaliers on Tuesday.

STRATTON Continued from pg. 46 b

Atlee Activities Director Dave Kannewurf said Stratton was one of the first to reach out to him when he took over at Atlee eight years ago.

“He was one of the first people that came over and offered his hand at helping,” Kannewurf said. “If I had questions, he had said, ‘Give me a call at any time if I can help you.’ I’ve leaned on him throughout the years for advice and for direction.”

Jeremiah said that Stratton has been invaluable at building consensus in district, region, and statewide meetings of activities directors.

“He’s going to be a big loss as far as leadership is concerned, obviously, from Hanover High School on up,” Jeremiah said. “Somebody says one idea, somebody says another idea, and he can see both sides, mediate and help us find common ground. All that kind of direction and guidance we’ve always counted on, that’s going to be missed.”

Wilson Memorial went on to defeat Grayson County 6-1 in the state semifinals at Radford University Saturday, then knocked off Glenvar 6-4 Sunday to claim the state title.

“We kind of said early in the game – about the sixth – that it was looking like that kind of game,” said Hornets coach Rodney Cullen. “We said, ‘One mistake, somebody’s going to make a mistake and somebody’s going to win.

Let it be us.’ ” Gochenour opened the top of the ninth with a walk off of King William reliever Justin Balderson. Catcher Josh Cole sacrificed him to second. One out later, Leary strikes out, but the ball bounced off Coleman’s glove. Leary wasted no time taking off for first.

Gochenour wasted no time taking off for third, and when the Coleman’s throw sailed into right field, took off for home.

“When you are on the second you always got to look for the throw and On a personal note, Jeremiah appreciates Stratton’s fondness for baseball Hall of Famer Roberto Clemente and the Pittsburgh Pirates.

“I grew up in Pittsburgh. He’s a Clemente fan, so we’re buds right there,” Jeremiah said. “He gets respect from me for that. … When I went to his office, he had a picture of Clemente and I think some other Pirates were there. I said, ‘Well, alright, you’ve got some class.’ ” Jeremiah said Stratton’s passion for baseball is much deeper that mere fandom of a particular team. He said Stratton has “a total commitment” to the game – not surprising given that Stratton has been either an assistant or head baseball coach for 21 years at John Rolfe, Mills Godwin and Atlee.

That commitment has been noticed by those who have coached both for and against him.

“I never worked for Bob, but I coached against Bob for years,” said current Atlee head coach Barry Burton.

“When he first started the program at Atlee, I was at Varina, I believe. We

you just got to go,” Gochenour said.

The error marred an other wise superb outing by both King William pitchers. Starter Daniel McGehee gave up no runs, taking a no-hitter through seven innings before he had to leave were big rivals for awhile, and we had great battles back in the day. … He’s an advocate for kids. When you say that, there’s nothing better you can say about someone.”

Dragum has the unique experience of coaching both against Stratton, giving him a unique perspective.

“I coached against him when I was at Lee-Davis and he was the head coach at Atlee,” Dragum said. “I took his program when he went from the Atlee baseball coach to the Patrick Henry AD. … And then, of course, he hired me to be the baseball coach at Hanover. So the memories I have are a pretty wide range of memories from coaching against him to being in his shoes and then coaching for him – a lot of good memories.”

Of those memories, what was most fun for Dragum?

“Coaching against him, absolutely,” Dragum said.

Evidence of Stratton’s legacy is evident throughout Hanover’s athletic facilities – as well as in the Hawks athletic successes the past decade. He

the game because of VHSL rules.

“He actually threw in the regional game on Wednesday,” said King William coach Jay Blanton. “With the new pitching rule, you can’t throw more than 14 innings in a week – in a

calendar week – so he was done.”

Wilson Memorial pitcher Brandon Poole went the distance, struck out eight Cavaliers while holding them to three hits.

truly has been “Bob the Builder.”

“That’s kind of been my forte,” Stratton said at the Capital District’s spring jubliee. “Opening up John Rolfe Middle School, going in as part of Godwin in its early stages, opening up Atlee from scratch, then planning Hanover and actually being able to hire all the staff, order all the equipment and uniforms, put the coaching staff together, put all the fields togeth-

er, whatever – to take the John Rolfe experience and then the Mills Godwin experience and the Atlee experience, this was kind of the culmination of all of them.

“I only had little pieces of those three puzzles, but this was the complete puzzle to put together. And now to look at where we started and where we currently are – that’s been the fun part of my career.”
