June 26, 2013
Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Heather Nicole Nunnally of Mechanicsville recently graduated as a member of the first class from Longwood University School of Nursing, following in the footsteps of her mother, Cindy G. Nunnally, a graduate from Richmond Memorial School of Nursing, and her grandmother, Jean W. Gentry, a graduate from Stuart Circle Hospital School of Nursing. Longwood offers a fouryear BSN (Bachelor of Science in Nursing) program, with state-of-the-art equipment and teaching tools that are unbelievable to earlier generations of nurses and have prepared Heather and 24 classmates, including Kristen Elizabeth Seim of Mechanicsville, for
HEATHER NUNNALLY multiple nursing paths. As members of the first class, the students watched continued construction of the former Science building to now include simulation models of exam rooms, wards, private rooms, nursery and a home health suite complete
with mannequins that can cry, talk, give birth and code. They chose their uniforms, were first to use the new facilities, to work in the community and design their “LUNS pin.” Heather said her graphic arts class at Lee-Davis High School gave her the skills to lead in the draft and final design of their blue and silver pin. Heather’s mother Cindy has been a NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit) RN at Henrico Doctors Forest since it opened in 1987. Grandmother Jean’s career went from labor and delivery, nursery, pediatrics, female post surgery, and private duty to retiring as an occupational health registered nurse from Reynolds Metals (Alcoa) and finally as RN wellness coordinator for GEFA (Genworth).

mix between traditional hard cover textbooks and online editions. In many cases, the offerings represent a combination of both. “We had a decision to make,” Dr. Rob Williams said. “Should we continue buying traditional hardback textbooks or should we buy classroom centered textbooks and give students online access to them?” Williams, the county school district’s lead social studies teacher, told School Board members he considered both in a selection process that included parents, teachers, board members and school administration. “It’s been many years since we’ve been able to replace outdated textbooks in our classroom,” Williams said. “The older our textbooks get, the more out of alignment they get.” High school courses were targeted due to the depth of content at upper level classes and limited funds are available for replacement. “As much as we would like to replace textbooks for all of our K through 12 students, we
simply don’t have the funds to do that,” Williams said. The joint committee studied a list of approved texts provided by the state. In March, teachers reviewed those texts and critiques were conducted on sample books. Publishers met with the committee in April and final decisions were made in May. Pearson was chosen as the publisher that best met the county’s needs with traditional hard cover texts with online access available for the next seven years. Williams said the committee came to that decision for two reasons. First, Internet access in some areas of the county is not dependable and students who couldn’t access a network would be unable to complete their work. Additionally, since the chosen textbook comes with Internet access and support, it provided students with the best of both worlds, and guaranteed at the end of seven years that students would still have a textbook even if Internet access had expired. Nine courses are affected by the selection. During the public com-
ment period, Candy Eubank expressed concern regarding her son’s ability to download controversial subject matter at school, another issue related to technology in the schools. Eubank said her son has struggled through ninth grade at Patrick Henry High School, and the influence of computer games and the Internet were a deterrent to his completing homework assignments. She removed all Internet and gaming access at her home, but was shocked when her son, an Individualized Education Program (IEP) student, came home with downloaded versions of gaming sites on a memory stick provided by the school. “I need help from the School Board to resolve these issues and I don’t think my son is alone in accessing computers for gaming networks at school,” Eubank said. In other technology related matters, the School Board approved a long-range technology plan for county schools that builds on prior investments.

on professional development for teachers and universal computer access for all students. The county also is increasing its online course offerings with eight available this summer. Arco suggested a portable computer component for all Hanover County teachers since the majority of their planning and recordkeeping is done online. The county’s current technology plan expires this month, and additional funds were added to last year’s budget to address concerns in that area. The board approved the new plan by a unanimous vote. In other non-technology related matters, the School Board recognized Patrick Henry’s Travis Phillips for his victory in the 110-meter hurdles at the recent state championships. Another Patrick Henry student, Shania Williams, captured the state title for the shot put at the same meet. School Board chair Ann Gladstone and Dr. Jamelle Wilson, superintendent of HCPS, recognized both students during the June 11 regular meeting. selling Hanover Tomatoes.

From the editor

The changing face of our School Board Supervisor explains ‘no’ vote My, how times have changed. In July 2008, this writer arrived in Mechanicsville energized, excited and enthusiastic at the opportunities becoming a part of The Local would bring — and they most certainly have. Surprises also have been a part of the equation. Most recently, the changes on the Hanover County School Board have come to the forefront of interest and a tinge of controversy. But, this is about the new faces — and what it can mean to our school system. Norm Sulser, the newly appointed representative for the Cold Harbor District, stopped by the office last Tuesday for a meet-and-greet. We will be following up with a more in-depth interview. Our chat was just that and it proved informative and insightful. It must be noted that this was our first encounter. We had spoken on the phone about his return to the School Board, as well as his background. For the record, he is certainly qualified for the office. And that’s no reflection on Robert Wood, who is leaving the Cold Harbor seat, or the other candidates who expressed an interest in serving. That is the key word here: serving. While (yes, here she goes again) yours truly supports an elected School Board, we are fortunate that there are individuals who want to serve in the best interests of the students. Actually, I believe those who did serve and are serving (even if their term is nearing expiration) do care about the children. Our county can’t have too many people willing to give of their time to work toward the best future possible for generations to come. Sulser and Sue Dibble, South Anna District, who is replacing Ann F.H. Gladstone, will be sworn in (if they haven’t already) this week. Their first official meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, July 16. Of course, the question had to be put out there about Sulser’s future plans since his appointment and the rumors swirling about before it became official about whether he would seek the Hanover County Board of Supervisors’ seat held by Elton Wade, who named him to the School Board. Sulser’s mum on the issue now, choosing to focus his attention to where it matters: the students. It’s a new beginning with new faces. Melody Kinser

Vice chairman addresses position on ‘controversial rezoning case’ By Sean Davis Special to The Mechanicsville Local I vote no. A controversial rezoning case recently came before the [Hanover County] Board of Supervisors. On May 22 an applicant brought forth a request to increase the density of a previously approved condominium project. The number of units requested was approximately 50 percent more than the originally approved density. There was a lot of debate over this case, and the United States Constitution was referenced many times. Our Constitution is not to be taken lightly. I find it extremely important that our Constitution be spoken of with clarity and the reverence it deserves. So here I am writing this Op/Ed. So let’s begin. During the Kings Acre Partners case, due process was brought into the argument. The applicant’s attorney stated that denying his client’s request to increase the density of this project would be tantamount to denying his client their Fourth Amendment rights (applied to the States through the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment). There was a major flaw in his argument. The applicant’s attorney was actually engaged in due process of his client’s
request while he was making this argument. His client was never denied the opportunity to make application or to have that application processed. By appearing before the Board] of Supervisors] for their request to be heard, the client was exercising their right of due process. The fact that the attorney was advocating for his client before the Board of Supervisors proves that his client’s due process rights were not infringed. It was also stated that, if the Kings Acre Partners request for an increase in project density was not approved, this would be a denying the applicant of their Fifth Amendment rights. It was argued that voting against the increased density would be to deprive the applicant of their use of the property. In essence, there was an argument made that the Board of Supervisors had no authority to deny the application because that decision would be an overreach of the government’s authority and may even imply the unjust exercise of eminent domain.

This is a response to the writer and others who complimented Elton Wade on his good job as a crossing guard. The issue is not the job, or the man. The issue is Mr. Wade’s compensation. Per the U.S. Bureau of Labor statistics (last report, May 2012), there are 70,390 crossing guards nationwide, 9,850 of them in elementary and secondary schools. The mean wage for the job is $11.07/hour, and in New York City that hourly wage is $10.

Interestingly enough, many in the development community were fiercely opposed to the change to the Eminent Domain Constitutional provisions. Nonetheless, it was simply an invalid argument. Lastly, the argument was made that the Comprehensive Plan allowed for high density. With that, another attempt was made to say that the Board of Supervisors had no authority to act on behalf of the citizens by voting against an increase in density on this project. Again, this is not an argument that could hold up to any logical challenge. The Comprehensive Plan does allow for high density residential development on this property. Here is the point that no one seemed willing to acknowledge: High density was already approved. The developer could have started construction on the original plan with no further need to come before the board. What they originally asked to do with the property could still be done. Case closed. Instead, a change to increase the density by 50 percent above
the already zoned high density was really at the heart of this matter. Let me be clear, despite the developer’s argument, the Board of Supervisors did have the authority to speak on behalf of the people and vote against the increased density. This case had nothing to do with ownership. The Board of Supervisors cannot turn down a project because of the type of ownership, whether it applies to apartments, condos, townhomes or single family – ownership is not something we have authority to factor in to the decision-making process. If the developer had simply asked for a change in one simple, previously agreed upon condition, that the association own the common areas; the board could have voted to change that condition and the developer could have started constructing the approved project as apartments. Instead, the developer decided to bring forth a request to increase the density of the entire project by 50 percent. Whether the aforementioned
would have been approved, we will never know. What we do know is — to vote against this project’s density increase in no way violates the developer’s or the land owners’ Constitutional rights. Simply because the developer argued that the original plan wasn’t financial viable at the present time is not a valid reason to increase the density by 50 percent, in my opinion. That is why I voted no. As we approach the day we celebrate America’s independence, let us hold dear the sacred documents that secure our rights. Let us honor them by referring to them in their proper context. Let us revere the Constitution, for it is the document that secures Americans’ God- given rights. May God bless you, may God bless our county, and may God continue to bless the United States of America. Happy Independence Day. Sean Davis, Henry District, serves as the vice chairman of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors.
and to say that only Mr. Wade keeps our kids safe is an insult Continued from pg. 6 to all the other hard working ing guards, so my assumption men and women who do it is that they all do a good job, for an honest and fair wage or
without compensation. In most jurisdictions police and police auxiliary do the job as part of public safety. Mr. Wade works for Dr. Jamelle Wilson (superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools) but he is her boss. That and the outrageous compensa-
tion for a job he said he works 1½ hours daily are the issues that need correction and so far no one is correcting. How does one fire her boss? Patricia Lassiter Mechanicsville

A 116 Year Tradition of Caring
8014 Lee-Davis Road, Mechanicsville • 746-8665 www.bennettfuneralhomes.com Bennett Funeral Home was established in 1897 to serve the needs of Richmond families. Since then, this locally owned and operated business has continued to serve the community with its unique combination of caring and convenience. This tradition of excellence can be seen in four beautiful chapels located throughout the Richmond area: centrally located on Cutshaw Avenue in the city, on Broad Street Road past Innsbrook, on Ashbrook Pkwy. in Chesterfield and serving the Hanover-Mechanicsville area on Lee-Davis Road. All four facilities are under the personal direction of Charles D. Morehead, President. In a time of need, you can turn to Bennett Funeral Home with trust and confidence. It serves families of all faiths with personal service – before, during and after. There is a long tradition of professionalism and caring. One way in which Bennett cares for families is by offering a convenient and personalized pre-need program. Through this program of pre-need planning, you can spare your loved ones the burden of making decisions at an emotional time. Call Bennett Funeral Home at 746-8665 to schedule a preplanning consultation.
year on the board I brought forth a motion that the Hanover County Board of Supervisors support the initiative to strengthen and improve the Eminent Domain provision in Virginia’s Constitution. As you know, the people of Virginia also supported this as seen from the voting results when that question was placed on last November’s ballot. I am pleased to say that the farming community and property owners scored a big win. With regard to the Kings Acre Partners request, the above argument was simply not valid. The project had already been approved for high density development with 116 units. This was the applicant’s original request, and it was granted by a previous board. To deny the increase of density that the applicant was now seeking in no way would have infringed on their right to construct the plan that was already approved; a plan that they designed and brought forward a number of years ago.

clear political assault for doing nothing more than publicly exhibiting the very freedoms defended by those 1 millionplus mentioned who gave all to protect the very liberties now being abused by our own government. To simply suggest that the Department of Justice will investigate this is laughable. Either the FBI (Federal Bureau of Investigation) or an independent counsel must be appointed if any legitimate investigation is to be done. No one, particularly in the Patriot movement, has an iota of trust in the attorney general, Eric Holder, let alone this corrupt and morally reprehensible administration.

operating her own equine business for a number of years. Horses were her passion, and she said she enjoyed the many hours she spent teaching riding lessons and training horses. Following a move, Thomas was given the opportunity to further explore her creative side and still work with the animals she’d always loved.
While the love of animals had always been with her, Thomas’ life was ultimately changed by a class that she attended to help her develop her drawing skills. While taking the class, she realized that she was inspired by art and had an affinity for drawing. Her underlying natural talent and newly discovered interest in drawing proved to be a wonderful combination for the new artist. In 2004, she penned a cartoon book that chronicled her life with horses that see ART, pg. 18

Americans deeply distrust our federal government. The administration seems to fail to realize that where there is integrity trust will follow! Katherine Noble Mechanicsville
don’t really approve of anyway. And the people who want to pay more taxes should be able to opt in to doing so. I kinda like what a gentleman said in a letter a few weeks ago to the people who want to pay more taxes, “Put up or shut up!” Oh, and by the way, most private school teachers are paid much less than most public school teachers and based on most private school outcomes one can easily conclude that the private schools and the private school teachers do much more with that much less. Maybe the government-run schools should as well. Jenna Hawk Mechanicsville

JSRCC president updates supervisors on continuing successes By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local When a small community college housed in temporary facilities opened its doors in 1972, most people knew more about the namesake than the actual school. Almost four decades and 300,00 students later, J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College is continuing to make an indelible mark on the Metro Richmond area, educating more students almost every year. Dr. Gary Rhodes, president of
JRSCC, delivered the good news message as he made his annual rounds to update Hanover and Goochland officials on the institution’s progress. He provides the same message to all the localities served by JSRCC, including the City of Richmond, as well as Louisa, Henrico and Powhatan counties. Rhodes said he sees the college’s relationship with the communities it serves as paramount in maintaining the school’s relevance and importance in the region. He also said that JSRCC depends on the communities and
local governments for support. “I make these trips to the county supervisors and city council for a couple of reasons,” Rhodes said. “They provide local monies that are used for some operations and things like student scholarships and tutoring at some facilities.” But that’s not the primary reason for the annual and sometimes more often trips. “They are our ambassadors so I want them to know as much as they can about the college and the impact we make in terms of how many citizens

we serve in each jurisdiction,” Rhodes added. He emphasized the strong community connection the college has fostered in 40 years of operations. With an expanding curriculum and plans for a new campus in Varina in Henrico County on the drawing board, Rhodes said the college has its eye on the future, providing 21st century training to a wide array of Central Virginians. With a student enrollment of more than 20,000 students, J. Sarge, as Rhodes likes to call it, is the state’s third largest community college. The system employs almost 1,700 workers at its three campuses located in Henrico and Goochland counties and downtown Richmond. In Goochland, that equates to more than 450 students and 85 high school students registered for dual enrollment classes. Hanover students make up
about 15 percent of the school’s student body. “It’s a significant portion of our student body,” Rhodes recently told Hanover supervisors. Enrollment was slightly off for the first time this year due to a decline in students at the state’s high schools. Rhodes said JSRCC’s enrollment numbers are closely correlated with state graduation figures. The school’s three campuses are currently in the midst of $30 million in construction, and Rhodes said the school is constantly looking for new ways to train students for careers. At the Goochland campus, classes now teach automotive students on electric car repair, an emerging and necessary service as the number of alternative automobiles increases. A new pilot program in Goochland and Powhatan counties called the Advanced College Academy allows stu-
dents to enroll in enough dual enrollment classes to graduate with both a high school diploma and an associates degree. The majority of the area’s emergency medical technicians (EMTs), firefighters and law enforcement are trained at JSRCC, and the college appeals to students who plan to transition to four-year colleges. With more than 90 career programs, Rhodes said the school is an on-ramp to higher education and an on-ramp “to how people prepare to go to work.” Core college credits taken at JSRCC will transfer to any other public university in the state, with some limitations. Compared to four-year institutions, JSRCC’s tuition is about one-half the cost. From dental laboratory programs to automobile repair, JSRCC is tailoring its offerings to fit an increasingly mobile student body that requires more and varied career choices.

Maryland teen claims Bryan Trophy By Jim Ridolphi Special Correspondent MANAKIN-SABOT – Rising high school senior Nora Jodrey, 17, captured “the biggest win of her career” atop Cashmere in Saturday’s Bryan Trophy competition at the Deep Run Horse Show Saturday. Steeped in Central Virginia equine history, the Deep Run Horse Show attracted riders from all over the region at the 54th, and some say older, edition of one of the area’s most popular and well known equestrian events, which began Wednesday and ran through Sunday. “Our number of participants is actually up some this year,” said show manager Tom Blankenship. This year’s Bryan Trophy competition took place Saturday morning following a trophy brunch presented by
her choices for college, but is sure about her riding future. “I’ll be riding somewhere,” she said following her win. This year’s Bryan Cup featured entries from the Hunter Equitation class. Jodrey – whose mount, Cashmere, is owned by Mark Bone of Thousand Oaks, Calif., and is trained by Virginia Edwards – bested second place finisher Kaileigh Keller of Midlothian. Madeleine Lohr, riding Lorenzo, finished third, followed by Alyssa Rhee on Futuro, Alexis Hale on Presque Isle and Madison Brander on Who’s on First. Edwards captured top spot Jim Ridolphi/The Local in the Markel Insurance Award Sarah Thompson puts Lilliana through the paces in the grandstand ring Saturday in the 54th competition for top trainers at edition of Deep Run Horse Show at Deep Run Hunt Club in Manakin-Sabot. this year’s show. She, Robert Jennifer Berdell and Peter Walls and the winner received a bridle said Blankenship. Crandall and Pam Baker all Jodrey attends Walt won awards as the top three from Champion Saddlery. of Merrill Lynch. “It’s the signature event of Whitman High School in trainers in the Bryan Trophy Six riders placed in the event, all of them receiving ribbons this show, no doubt about that,” Bethesda, and is unsure about competition.
Cool temperatures were a welcome relief for spectators, horses and riders alike. For the past several years, the event was held in near 100-degree weather, a condition that tries both horse and rider. “We really got a break with the weather this year,” said Blankenship. “That may be the reason our number of participants is up. When the weather is pleasant, more local participants just pack up their horses and show up.” Deep Run Committee chairman Betsy Tompkins said this year’s weather was a major contributing factor to this year’s success. “Everything went well this week, just great,” she said. “The weather was so nice that it put everybody in a great mood. When the weather is nice, everybody’s happy.” see TROPHY, pg. 35
Atlee’s Bolka weighs school, baseball plans
Dave Lawrence/The Local
Luke Bolka has until mid-July to decide whether or not to sign with the Cincinnati Reds or to attend East Carolina University.

The Mechanicsville Local June 26, 2013
By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Atlee graduate Luke Bolka has a lot on his mind. The future of the left-handed pitcher, who helped lead the Raiders to two straight Capital District tournament titles, looked pretty clear this spring after he signed with the East Carolina University Pirates.
But things got complicated, however, on June 8 when the Cincinnati Reds picked him in the 34th round of the Major Leagues’ draft. Bolka, after telling teams that contacted him in earlier rounds that he was not interested in what they were offering, did not think he would get picked.
“I was at my cousin’s graduation party,” Bolka said. “I didn’t know until someone texted me and said, ‘Nice job. I just saw it.’ ” Bolka still doubts he will sign with the Reds. “Most likely I’m going to school,” Bolka said. “But they’re doing this thing called a ‘summer following’ ... They want to
see me in, like, two games for Legion — pitching — and then they’re going to sit down and talk to me again.” If the Reds then come up with an offer worth him giving up a college scholarship now, he may reconsider. “My advisor told me don’t take it until it’s life-changing money,” Bolka said.
Local connections keep Deep Run Horse Show a top draw By Jim Ridolphi Special Correspondent While riders from across the region make annual appearances at the Deep Run Horse Show, most will tell you it’s the local connection that makes the show a perennial favorite. Many local riders take advantage of the convenient and familiar location year after year. That’s also true for the volunteers, staff and organizers. Goochlander Betsy Tompkins is serving her fifth stint as show chairman. She attributes the continuing success of the show to its unique niche and venue, the hospitality and that community connection. “It’s very unique here, friendly and hospitable, and we think of it more as a homecoming,” Tompkins said. “People who come here for the first time tell us that it is different from other horseshows.” Another aspect of the show that sets it apart is the endless hours contributed by volunteers who provide the organization and management of the event. “It’s unique in that it’s run by volunteers, and an all-volunteer committee that plans the horse show, the parties, and really, everything,” Tompkins said. “This horse show carries a AA rating with the national governing body and has carried the highest rating for horse shows since it was founded, which we believe was in the late 30’s.” Tompkins also pointed to

a strong family type tradition that is embedded the Deep Run community and the annual show. “Many of these people, including myself, rode in this horse show on these grounds as children,” she said. “That’s part of the special feeling you get here. These people have been invested in this since they were little children.” It’s definitely part of the draw at Deep Run. “It’s that feeling of camara-
derie you get here,” Tompkins said. “People tell us that’s one of the main reasons they return.” Another Manakin resident, Betsy Fauntleroy, serves on the volunteer board, but on this day, her focus was on the ring where daughter Eliza was competing in the 15-and-Under Junior class aboard Babette. “Of course I’m nervous. It’s her first time competing in this class and she’s riding her sister Noel’s horse,” Fauntleroy said. The 12 year old negotiated
the course with no major problems on her run. Making sure those courses are safe for riders falls in the hands of Deep Run safety director Kevin Gibson. The Mechanicsville resident has been at Deep Run for decades, but said the annual horse show is always the highlight of the season. It also means a considerable amount of work for Gibson and his crew who move jumps, repair electrical problems in the barn and tend to just about anything else that arises. “You never know what it’s going to be, and that keeps us busy,” Gibson said. “I’ve been doing this for 20 years and you deal with anything that comes
up.” Gibson works full time as a captain in the Richmond Fire Department, but also keeps the grounds at Deep Run and troubleshoots for problems. The annual horse show requires more attention than the regular schedule. “There’s a lot of things to do to get ready for a big show like this,” Gibson said. He began
preparing for this year’s show on June 13. Continuing in the Deep Run theme of family, Gibson’s 17year old son Chase also worked on the crew at this year’s show, and his brother manned one of the gates. “We all take vacation from our regular jobs at the same time to get ready for this show,” Gibson said.

Continued from pg. 34
For many of the participants, Deep Run is the culmination of spring events and a favorite stop on the circuit. “We come here every year,” said Rebecca Fass of Freedom
Farm in Carrolton Virginia. “It has such a long tradition and rich history,” she added. “We like competing here,” added rider Emma Fass, also from Freedom Farm. This year’s beneficiary was again The Thoroughbred Retirement Foundation, an
organization that saves retired race and show horses. The James River Chapter gives both horses and inmates at the James River Correctional Center a second chance. The rescue foundation hosted Friday night’s “A Taste of Local Flavor,” which featured food from more than
20 different caterers and restaurants, many of them based in Goochland. “That is a very popular party,” Tompkins said. “Many of our Committee members also serve on the Thoroughbred Racing Foundation committee, so it’s a natural fit for us.”

Thomas homers away in Post 175 season opener By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Mechanicsville Post 175 finally got some games in. After a couple of weeks of weather-related postponements kept the team from getting on the field to practice, much less play, the team got its chance to get its 2013 American Legion baseball season started. And it started with a bang, with a 19-3 victory over Colonial Heights Post 284 Pirates Thursday at Atlee High School. Unfortunately, that bang did not carry over to the weekend, when West End Post 361 did something no other team could do during the regular season last year: defeat Post 175. Post 361 won 6-2 in a game moved from James River High School – because of rain, of course – to its home field at Deep Run High School Saturday. Michael Thomas drove Post 175’s offense in its season-opening victory Thursday. Thomas reached base in all five appearances at the plate with two walks, two doubles, a home run, three runs scored and four RBI – a pretty good performance for someone who has not seen much action lately. “I’ve been practicing here with the guys, but it’s probably been, like a good two months since I’ve seen live pitching,” Thomas said. “It’s good to come out and get the win to start off with. It felt good.” Thomas was not the only Post 175 player feeling good at the plate. The team collectively had 15 hits. Besides Thomas, four other players had multiplehit games. Chad Woodell went 3-of-5 with three runs and three RBI. Mitch Keeler, Justin Bishop and Tyler Carter each had two hits. Keeler’s totals included a double, four RBI and one run scored. Carter scored three runs and Bishop two.

Post 175 manager Eddie Gates was happy to get the game in. He had help in pulling it off. “It feels great,” Gates said. “Had to work, though. … The field was still under water this morning. My wife and daughter came out here and actually worked on the field for a couple of hours. I give [credit] to them. They like the game, too. You’ve got to like the game if you do that.” Being able to take the field was a victory in itself for Gates.
The Mechanicsville Local June 26, 2013
“I’m just glad to get on the field,” Gates said. “I didn’t care if we won, lost – didn’t care. I just wanted to play the ball game. Gates said he had plenty of reason to be happy with his team, too. “Today, the kids did it,” Gates said. “They came out swinging the bats, which is what you’ve got to do.” He singled out pitcher Taylor Crowe, who overcame a threerun third inning to earn the win.
“Fabulous job. I think he threw 67 pitches in five innings,” Gates said. “That’s just great. First effort out, you can’t ask for anything more.” Crowe, who plays at Atlee, said it was his first appearance on the mound since the Raider’s victory over Hanover in the Capital District tournament in May. Crowe was not cowed by the pressure he faced when he stepped on the mound for the start. “I felt good. My arm was good. I felt like I was pumping,” Crowe said. “I came out here to try to live up to what they did last year.” Crowe felt confident even in the third inning, during which he gave up three runs on four hits, including a double. “It’s good going out there knowing that, no matter how many runs with give up, we’ve
got the bats to make it up in the dugout,” Crowe said. Pirates coach Russ Gammon said his team’s youth and inexperience caught up with it. “They capitalized on our mistakes, which is something we’ve got to work out,” Gammon said. “We’re trying to do our best right now to get a little bit more practice time. But the kids … when they get to this point, they should be able to know and go.” The Pirates were led by Joe Petree with a double, a run scored and an RBI. Collin Fleisher singled in their other two runs. Saturday, Post 175 was supposed to play Post 361 in a scouting showcase at James River, but after some storms swept through the area, the field was unplayable. Post 361 was taking batting practice at Deep Run when its coach, Doug
Toombs, got the news. “I called coach Gates to see if he wanted to get the game in tonight,” Toombs said. “So we moved it to here.” Once a hastily arranged umpire crew arrived at 7:30, the teams went at it. Post 361 got an early lead off Thomas, who started for Post 175, with two runs in the second inning. Post 175 got runs in the third and fourth innings to tie the game, but Post 361 tinkered with its offense and struck for two runs each in the sixth and seventh innings to go ahead for good. “We figured out he was pitching us backwards,” Toombs said. “He was throwing offspeed pitches on fastball counts. And I think his pitch count – he was up over 100 pitches – and I think there in the last couple of innings that he was in, he was getting tired.” While Gates hoped Post 175 could repeat its undefeated performance of 2012, he was not surprised by the loss. “It would be tough this year to go undefeated anyway,” Gates said. “You don’t even talk about that until late in the season, even if it was happening. It was a good effort. There were some situations where we had people on and needed base hits and didn’t get them – that probably comes from not seeing live pitching. You can take all the [batting practice] you want, but when that guy’s throwing the ball … the way a coach throws it in a BP session, it’s different.” Post 284 Pirates....003 000 0 – 3 6 3 Post 175.............328 240 x – 19 15 2 Cameron Kauffman, Drew Sober (3) and Joe Petree.

Therapist offers tips for TMJ Contributed report Jaw and facial pain from Temporomandibular Joint Disorders may benefit from physical therapy, according to physical therapist Carrie Chamberlain PT, DPT of Tidewater Physical Therapy, but can also be relieved with steps sufferers can take on their own. Tips from Chamberlain to deal with the effects of TMJ include: • Practice proper posture throughout the day. Place notes or colored dots around your home and/or office to remind you to sit up and stand properly. Wear reading glasses instead of bifocals when working at the computer to prevent improper positioning of the neck. • When talking on the telephone maintain your head in an upright position. If needed, invest in a head set, Chamberlain suggested. • Remember to assume the resting jaw position: teeth slightly apart, tongue relaxed, and lips together. Your lower teeth should rarely touch your upper teeth. This is especially important when you are tense
June 26, 2013 | Next Step — A Specialty Publication of The Mechanicsville Local
or nervous but also avoid clenching your teeth when you swallow. • Learn to stifle your yawns. You can do this by placing your tongue against the roof of your mouth and holding it there firmly as you yawn. Chamberlain said. Do not open your mouth any wider than your tongue against the roof of your mouth will allow. • Avoid biting fingernails or your lower lip. Do not chew on pens or pencils, and do not thrust/jut your jaw forward. • Eat softer foods. Cook your vegetables and save bagels and popcorn for rare treats. Cut apples, pears, bananas and other treats into small pieces with a knife. Do not eat corn on the cob. Avoid large bites and hard, chewy foods. Proper posture when eating is also important. • Chew on both sides of your mouth. If this is difficult, try chewing one fork full on the left, then the next fork full on the right. • If you use gum as a breath freshener, chew it for just two or three minutes, not an extended period of time. • Sleep on your back or side, but be
sure your lower jaw is not being pressed into the pillow. Do not sleep on your stomach. • Take care not to rest your lower jaw on your hands or cup your chin. If your jaw is popping or clicking, Chamberlain said you should stop what you are doing and use your exercises and proper posture to correct the problem. “Learn to control your stress level,” Chamberlain said. “Take a few deep breaths, roll your shoulders, and check to see that your teeth are apart and facial muscles are relaxed.” Physical therapy can be a conservative, first-line option for managing pain, or help with the healing process during the postoperative period, Chamberlain noted. Carrie Chamberlain, PT, DPT, received her Doctor of Physical Therapy from the Medical College of Virginia at Virginia Commonwealth University. She is the Clinical Director at the Kings Charter Clinic of Tidewater Physical Therapy, which can be reached by calling 804-550-5730.
