Pay frozen for top scale workers By Jodi Deal jdeal@mechlocal.com In the wake of a May controversy over the salary of Elton Wade, longtime crossing guard and Cold Harbor District representative on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, the Hanover County School Board has opted to freeze pay for any employees at the top of the division’s two salary scales – or over the top. The move came on Tuesday, July 16,
at the conclusion of a detailed review of Hanover County Public Schools’ employee compensation policy by Charla Cordle, the division’s assistant superintendent of human resources. During that update, Cordle explained how salary scales work for teachers and other employees whose positions range from cafeteria monitor to assistant superintendent. Superintendent Jamelle Wilson recommended that the School Board take action
now to freeze the pay of employees who earn the most allowed within their job’s salary scale. “We know there may be employees who are achieving above the maximum,” Wilson said. “I would imagine that would be of interest to the board.” Freezing salaries at the top of the scale Jodi Deal/The Local or higher would give staff time to continue Glenn T. Millican Jr., left, Mechanicsville District, and Robert L. Hundley Jr., Chickahominy District, were elected vice chair and studying the matter, she said. see PAY, pg. 4

Attorney Andy Condlin, photo at left, represented Hanover Village in its application for a conditional use permit allowing construction of a 12-screen movie theatre off Mechanicsville Turnpike near Lee Davis Road. Brandy Creek resident David Jennings, center photo, said the project is not right for the area, and would impact his neighborhood negatively. Scott Marshall, holding daughter Abigail, spoke against the project and thought there could be better locations for the project in Hanover County.
As a deadline requiring a local zoo operator to remove five chimps from his facility on Bultaco Road in Mechanicsville slowly approaches, the thought of separation doesn’t get any easier for owner Curtis Shepperson. “They are like family to me.

L-DHS DECA recognized for outstanding school store Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Lee-Davis High School DECA students recently achieved national Gold Level status – again – for their school store, a School-Based Enterprise (SBE). Congratulations were extended to advanced marketing students Liz Lowery and Sidney Mines, who worked on the certification with the assistance of their advisor, Aimée Walters. The “Spirit Shop,” the Lee-Davis studentmanaged school store, has operated for more than 15 years and is being commended for the achievement. It is among 166 School-based Enterprises in the United States that achieved this award and recently was recognized at DECA’s International Career Development Conference in Anaheim, Calif. School-based Enterprises are effective educational tools in helping to prepare students for the transition from school to work or college. For many students, they provide the first work experience; for others, they provide an opportunity to build management, supervision and leadership skills. While some in the education community have only recently discovered the value of School-based Enterprises, marketing educators and DECA advisors have used them as a powerful learning lab for more than four decades. DECA’s School-based Enterprise (SBE) Certification Program was developed to provide recognition for outstanding achievement by School-based Enterprises and to motivate SBEs to strive for excellence and growth. School stores can be certified at three levels: Bronze, Silver or Gold. In order to apply for the certification, SBEs

must submit extensive documentation that demonstrates their adherence to various marketing and retail standards. After the documentation is submitted, a review committee evaluates the documentation to determine which level of certification has been achieved. DECA is a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit student organization preparing its members for careers in marketing, management, finance and hospitality. DECA operates in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, Guam, the Virgin Islands, Canada, Germany and Mexico through charters held by each state’s/province’s department of education. DECA has nearly 200,000 members nationwide. Complete information about DECA’s School-based Enterprise Certification Program can be found at www.deca.org/sbe.

“Our employee compensation structure is complex, so we’ll come back to you in the next several months with additional details,” Wilson said. School Board members offered no commentary or questions on Cordle’s presentation or Wilson’s suggestion. New member Norman Sulser, who represents the Cold Harbor District, moved to take the suggested pay-freezing action, and vice chair Glenn Millican of the Mechanicsville District offered a second.
How school salaries work Teachers, who make up more than 1,500 of the school division’s employees, are paid according to the teacher salary scale, Cordle said. That scale designates minimum and maximum salaries in 30 salary “steps,” which represent years of experience. Teachers make the minimum for their step on the scale if they have a bachelor’s degree, and the minimum rises incrementally for teachers who have bachelor’s degrees plus 15 credits, master’s degrees and doctoral degrees.
Before a teacher can advance to the next step on the scale, Cordle noted, he or she must receive a satisfactory evaluation. Funds must be available in the budget for salary increases to occur. The lowest pay on the teacher salary scale, for a new teacher with a bachelor’s degree, is about $42,000. A teacher with the same level of education who is on the 35th step of the scale could make $64,299. The official salary scale document notes that employees with more than 35 years of service may be contracted for an amount other than the top pay reflected. Additional duties, like coaching, are paid for through separate contracts governed by a stipend scale, Cordle added. As for other employees, about 1,100 of them, their pay is governed by the “Uniform Salary Scale.” All other division positions are listed under a level ranging from 2 to 25, then each level has a minimum, middle and maximum hourly wage, Cordle said. For example, a head custodian, instructional assistant or first-level office assistant — all of which are classified at Level 5 — could make $9.90, $13.78 or $17.65 per hour, depending on experience. Meanwhile, assistant directors of information systems and technology operations or

representing
middle school assistant principals —all set at Level 20 —could make from $31.39 to $56.01 per hour. Cordle said the last revision of the Uniform Salary Scale came in the 2005-2006 budget cycle, when an independent contractor conducted a study that included a revision of job descriptions and salary surveys of similar positions in the public and private sectors in neighboring communities. “The mid-point in ’05-’06 was based on what someone with 10 years of experience in that market section would be making. The maximum, based on the study, was the maximum value of that position to the school division,” Cordle said. Those numbers haven’t been updated with comparisons to the outside market in the past year, she noted. Cordle added that she had compared the school division’s compensation practices and plan with that for county support staff, and found that they matched in essentially all categories. The only difference is a clear set of rules for voluntary demotions. In schools, employees typically apply for a lower-level position if they want it, then go through the interview process, she said. Non-teacher employees also are subject to reviews before pay raises, Cordle said.

Hundley, Dibble and Sulser immediately dove into the evening’s business, discussing everything from ongoing renovations to standardized testing. Their first order of business for the evening was a closed meeting to discuss job changes throughout the school division.

Hundley’s return to chair a good move As with anything related to government, speculation was in full tilt with the July 16 regular meeting of the Hanover County School Board. With two new members — Norm Sulser, Cold Harbor District, and Sue Dibble, South Anna District — making their debut, the face of that seven-body group has undergone some changes. The election of Chickahominy District representative Bob Hundley as chair of the School Board was welcome news Tuesday evening. He held that office when this writer arrived five years ago and School Board coverage was part of the assigned duties (or, let’s go old school, and say it was part of my beat). Anyway, Hundley epitomizes what a School Board member should be: interested in the welfare and education of the students. Bravo! Because, unfortunately, some who serve — whether elected or appointed — have agendas that don’t exactly include the citizens. I know — imagine that. Again, it’s a sad reality of politics. And, while we’d like to keep politics out of the operations of a school division, government is entrenched if for no other reason than the fiscal aspects. As in money, money, money, money. But I digress. This direction is positive and optimistic, because, with Hundley at the helm, we can expect a calm, rational, students-first approach. By no means is this to say his predecessors in my tenure have been anything but professional and shared in his passion for the school district. John Axselle and Ann F.H. Gladstone were shining examples of School Board leadership — and we applaud their service. Mechanicsville District representative Glenn Millican joins Hundley in the leadership role of vice chair. They face challenges — unenviable ones at that. But they have accepted the responsibilities their titles carry. July 16, 2013, marked the dawning of a new day with the Hanover County School Board and we wish them well as they prepare for the 20132014 term. We will support you, but always know that we also are watching because that’s part of our role. Melody Kinser

Voicing support for Fowler For 55th District House seat I am writing because I feel it is of the utmost importance to voice support for candidate Hyland F. “Buddy” Fowler for the 55th District Republican for House of Delegates in this year’s election. The 55th District of the Virginia General Assembly consists of portions of Hanover, Caroline and Spotsylvania counties. This seat has been held by two incredibly neighborly and notable men, John Cox and Frank Hargrove. Under these men, with more than a decade of experience as legislative aide to both is the same exemplary and highly qualified neighborly candidate, Hyland F. “Buddy” Fowler. Not only does he have the extensive experience working with these two gentlemen, but he has more than a decade of experience as research director for the Joint Republican Caucus of the Virginia General Assembly. Think about it for one moment: If you were hiring for a job opening, wouldn’t you rather have someone with some true experience? Do you feel comfortable putting your trust in someone who has experience in being a reporter and knows how to “sell a good story” or with someone who has been working extensively for years within the General Assembly? Folks, it’s a no-brainer. You’d go with the person who can hit the ground running, knows what’s involved with the job, truly cares for the people in this district (and my family as can many others personally attest to this), and will listen to his neighbors because they are the voters and he DOES care. http://www.buddyfowler.com/ Visit his website yourself and get informed! The two most important things you can do on Tuesday, Nov. 5, this year are these: First, exercise your right to vote! And second, vote for someone who is not a faceless name selling you a story you want to hear, but for the experienced man who is your neighbor and has been watching out for his neighbors in the 55th District for years. Cast your vote for the experience and knowledge, not for the grammar and a good bedtime story. Vote for Hyland F. “Buddy Fowler! Mrs. Robert T. (Sheri) Millikin III Hanover
Health insurance brokers get crash course on plan There was a recent meeting of about 200 health insurance brokers at a local hotel. The purpose was to inform these brokers about the current state of the health insurance plans as they pertain to the insured, insurance companies, hospital and medical care providers.
The major insurance company reps present were from Anthem, Etna, Optima and others, and they were totally overwhelmed with program complexities. The presenters repeatedly used the terms like “tweaked” or “details are not clear yet” or “we are working on some answers to that issue.” It is very clear that the “Affordable Health Care Act” will be the disaster to make all other national natural disasters look like a walk in the park. This plan will be the destruction of our republic! Here is the proof: 1. The feeding of all personal, medical and financial information into a national data bank that will include DNA collection will destroy the foundation of privacy as protected by the fourth amendment of the Constitution. 2. The implementation and enforcement of this program will be the IRS, HHS, CIA, FBI, HLS, ICE, DOE, DOJ along with countless independent contractors. 3. The individual states along with commissions and panels will have additional oversight and administration of the plan. The numbers of moving parts are beyond belief. 4. The manipulation of tax credits, stipends, etc., will be an accounting nightmare of such magnitude that the system will melt down. The Act was sold as a way to provide affordable insurance to all US citizens. This entire Act was called a tax by the Supreme Court. As to the cost, my personal Medicare insurance supplement increased about 20 percent. For those retired on fixed income, so much for affordable. The young people with the lowest of all premiums today will have rate increases of about 200 percent. Yes, citizen, you have been assaulted by the United States government. We had war on women, war on poverty, war on drugs, war on terror and now war on citizens.

Remember who does the work Amid all the thank yous, moments of silence, plaques and other awards given to government employees for services rendered, makes one wonder why the poor souls that make it all possible are never mentioned. I’m talking about people required by necessity to slave day after day in order to survive. People who have little money left after food, rent, heat, fuel and, of course, after taxes. No retirement fund, no insurance, no vacation, few holidays and no snow days. People who lose their jobs in

a bad economy and yet, taxes on their personal property or real estate have to be paid to keep the never-ending government pork barrel overflowing. I’m talking about people who are constantly ravaged by reckless government spending and yet the government feels none the worse in that they continue to live in the manner they’ve all become accustomed. The last 25 years have been statements of mass deception from imitation presidents and politicians, making decisions by the government (and only) for the government. If we are not careful it may be 25 more years of mass deception before we all wake up. Did anyone hear of a government employee losing their job or their house during this slowdown? Did the government bail out any of the companies your retirement funds were invested in? Did the government bail out your place of employment or just let it close? Has anyone in private industry had a raise lately? The least government could do for the taxpayer is to have 30 seconds of silence every week for the names we see in the obituaries. These people paid taxes all their lives and now leave behind their already taxed to death nest egg, only to be unfairly divided, and, of course, the government gets more of it than the sur-

vivors. Is there a reason the taxpayer is never mentioned for an award? Do we embarrass them because we’re known as lower and middle class? Has it ever occurred to government that taxpayers pay for the big nice buildings they occupy? We pay for the warm heat in the winter and the cool air conditioning in the summer. We pay 100 percent of their salaries, we pay 95 percent of their retirement, we pay 100 percent of their life insurance, we pay for 15 sick days per year, we pay 100 percent for longterm disability, we pay for their training, we pay for and supply all the equipment that make them look good doing their job and we reload their retirement plan after their plan expert makes a bad investment. And one of the dumbest things, the government allows the employees to be unionized so they can legally shake us down whenever things don’t go their way. Maybe the taxpayers should consider a union. Can you imagine taxpayers going on strike? In three to four months without paying taxes, we would be the only ones with money. The government and freeloading supporters will be on the street, broke. How about we petition the government to authorize a PTP license plate (Professional Tax Payer)? Government employees have professional license plates to remind us who they are on and off the job. I’m thinking we taxpayers are not recognizable because we all look alike. A PTP license plate would solve that. The time has come for some recognition. How about a “Taxpayer of the Month Award,� a “Hero Taxpayer Award,� a “Taxpayer Hall of Fame� or a “Taxpayer Beauty Pageant.� Maybe at each entry point

Radler deserves vote for House There is an old saying that all politics are local. True as that may be, voters in the 55th District, including parts of Hanover, Caroline and Spotsylvania counties, will vote this year for a new candidate for the seat vacated by John Cox. Whoever the voters elect, this candidate is likely to cast votes on many issues in the General Assembly that will affect all citizens of Virginia, not just those living in the 55th. In addition to hugely important social and economic issues, votes will be cast impacting Virginia’s environment and its natural resources that we all rely upon. Foremost is a likely vote on uranium mining, quite possibly the most dangerous environmental activity that Virginia has ever considered. Natural resource protection such as the Chesapeake Bay and our parks and land resources, as well as air quality and energy, are all potential issues over the next two years. The Democratic candidate, Toni Radler, stands firm on the protection and wise use of these resources so that something is left for our children and their children. She deserves our support and the General Assembly needs her presence. David S. Bailey, Esquire Beaverdam

Atlee student takes part in German Academy Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com
W
illkommen! Guten Tag! Was machst du heute Nachmittag? Those were just a few of the phrases that 45 Virginia high school students, including Mary Coates of Atlee High School, used at the Virginia Governor’s German Immersion Academy at Washington and Lee University in Lexington. Coates was among those who arrived at WLU on June 22 and left on July 13. The German Academy’s students lived their lives completely in German to increase their abilities to use the language. The Virginia Department of Education sponsors five Governor’s Foreign Language Academies each summer where students are nurtured and language skills are cultivated. Participating students were selected through a statewide competition.
CBS News and USA Today have featured the Academies as examples of innovative foreign language programs. After pledging in front of her parents to speak German exclusively, Coats and the other students ate, slept and COATES dreamt auf Deutsch. The students learned, not in the ordinary way with textbooks and CDs, but by really using the language in the cafeteria, in the dorm, on the soccer field, as well as in the classroom. And they had the times of their lives while doing it. Every morning, including Saturdays, Academy participants attended four unique and creative classes, such as East-West History,
Knitting Guild donations
Submitted by Rebecca McGeorge
Members of the Hanover Knitting Guild recently donated stuffed animals dressed in handknitted clothing to Deputy Barry Bland, crime prevention specialist with the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office, during their recent annual picnic at Hanover Wayside Park. The animals will travel with deputies and be given to children needing comfort during or following stressful police incidents. The guild also donates hand-knitted sweaters, hats, scarves, shawls, gloves and mittens to women and children in a Hanover domestic violence shelter. The group meets the third Saturday monthly in the Mechanicsville area, often at the Atlee Library. For more information about the guild, call 804-564-6114.

OBITUARIES | Death Notices & Funerals Wayne Batson
Q. Can I have braces that are not noticeable? A. Yes, with today’s modern technology there are many different options besides metal braces. Clear braces, Invisalign, or I-braces (braces on the inside of the teeth) are all options that are less noticeable or virtually invisible. You may have friends or colleagues at work or school that have braces and you don’t even know it. Q. I have a 9 year old child. Is it too early to see an orthodontist?
Dr. Mei has been nominated by her peers in the Virginia Living Magazine as one of Virginia’s top Dentists for 2010, 2011 & 2012. She was also selected by Consumer Research Council for America’s Top Dentist list for 2010, 2011 and 2012.
A. It is actually recommended by the American Association of Orthodontics that your child have their first visit to an orthodontist by the age of 7. There are several advantages of early treatment for certain problems before all the permanent teeth have erupted. There are some simple treatments done at an early age that may prevent or eliminate more serious problems that could arise in the future if left uncorrected. Q. I am 60 years young. Is it too late for me to have braces?
A. No. It is never too late for orthodontics as long as you have a healthy mouth. Orthodontics may be recommended to improve your tooth alignment and/or an improper bite. Having a well aligned bite and nice smile not only looks better, but also improves the health of your teeth. This year I treated a patient who is 79 years young, and he was very excited to begin his treatment. He is a great patient, and he is very pleased with the service he is receiving at my office and the improvement in his tooth alignment. Q. I don’t want my child to miss school. How much time does it take to place braces? A. Although your child may have to miss a minimal amount of time of school to place the braces, many families plan for this on school holidays or the summer time. After your braces are placed, most visits to my office are only 15-30 minutes every four to eight weeks for the duration of your treatment. These appointments may be scheduled in the early mornings before school or late afternoons after school.

routine work orders, Myers noted. Of those, at least 85 are completed. However, division officials asked principals to submit any work orders they might consider needed after a thorough start of summer inspection of their schools. Principals responded with 202 additional work orders, Myers said. “It is still our anticipation to clear all of those,” Myers said. “It seems as though for the work our guys are doing, the money will be enough for all that needs to be done.”
Ashland District School Board member Hank Lowry placed a new budgetary and logistical item on the agenda by addressing an issue he suggested during the budget-planning process: outsourcing hall and bathroom monitor duties to outside employees instead of teachers. “I’ve spent a few days with teachers on hall duty; it’s a tremendous waste of our assets,” Lowry said. Instead, he recommended a pilot program in at least one or two high schools through see SUMMER, pg. 19

The Hanover County Pound located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland has two wonderful pets available to a good home. “Midnight” (ID #321600) is a 9-month-old black spayed female DSH. She is up-to-date on vaccinations, including rabies and is FELV/FIV negative. “Sami” (ID #316428) is a 10-year-old black/tan neutered male beagle/lab mix. He is friendly with medium energy and is good with other dogs. He also is up-to-date on vaccinations, including rabies; however, he is heartworm positive and needs a special home that will provide for his needed treatment. For more information on these two great pets, as well as the many more still in need of homes at the Hanover County Pound Facility, call 804-365-6485 during the day. The hours are 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday; and 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday.

which low-cost hourly employees could be hired to watch students in neutral areas, leaving teachers time to concentrate on classroom duties. Earlier discussions of the matter fell away, Lowry added, saying now is the time to consider getting a plan in the works for the upcoming year. “They’d cost less than our teachers cost. They want more time in the classrooms, and I believe that’s a better use of our assets,” Lowry said. He later added that helpers could cost $15 an hour versus $45 an hour for teachers’ time. Cold Harbor District representative Norm Sulser said
It’s a cause that is hitting close to home for Shepperson, whose young grandson recently was diagnosed with leukemia. The 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. event also represents the last opportunity for the community to say farewell to the chimps. “This is the last event that I will be able to have to help the cancer children,” Shepperson said. “We’ll be selling hot dogs,
hamburgers and homemade barbecue.” Toby, Chaos, Sierra, Tanzy and Kiera are headed to the Houston Zoo by year’s end at the prompting of Hanover County officials, who issued the Dec 31 deadline to vacate the animals. It’s a decision that still doesn’t sit well with Shepperson, and he questions the wisdom and
some teachers will be asked to take on additional students and courses this fall. However, Wilson said she has concerns about making the move for a pilot program for the upcoming year. If asked, middle school teachers and principals would likely say they need help, too, Wilson said. “I believe we potentially create a different kind of inequity if we provide support at one level, high school, and not in middle school,” Wilson said. Even at a low hourly cost, she said the program is still an expense that wasn’t built into the approved budget for the 2013-2014 year. “We have worked very diligently to absorb and adjust to
where our current bottom line is,” Wilson said. “I’m concerned about where those unbudgeted dollars would come from, frankly. I would be concerned about what message that could send across the community.” Ultimately, the School Board took no action. Lowry said the program could be implemented later, as long as discussion is being had. Chair Robert Hundley, who represents the Chickahominy District, suggested that the group continue talks at a future meeting. “Why don’t we agree to continue that discussion as we move forward, and see whether there needs to be some kind of task force?” Hundley asked, closing the discussion.

motivation of some county officials and supervisors. It’s also a decision that prompted Shepperson to close Windy Oaks, at least as it’s been known for years in the county. “I have closed and gotten rid of almost all of my animals,” Shepperson said. “We’ve been doing this for 15 or 16
years, and me and my wife have enjoyed seeing little kids come out and interact with the animals.” He said they used to host 150 to 200 children on some visitations. “We were approved for 15 years by the Hanover [County] School Board for their field
trips,” he said. “Thousands of children have through here and no one has ever been scratched, bitten or hurt.” He takes offense at remarks made by some supervisors as they made the decision to accept the offer from the see CHIMPS’, pg. 21

Police investigating threat at King William High School BY REED WILLIAMS Richmond Times-Dispatch

Authorities are investigating a message scrawled in a bathroom at King William High School that threatens to “kill everyone.” The message was brought to the attention of the school’s principal about 10 a.m. Thursday,
said King William County schools Superintendent Mark Jones. Officials said they are taking the message seriously and will be adding security at county schools today and next week. The message, written in a boy’s bathroom at the school, says, “I will kill everyone.” Written below the threatening words is Monday’s
date. Beside the message is a crudely drawn symbol that authorities said they do not recognize. King William sheriff’s Lt. Tim Hixenbaugh said he has sent a picture of the symbol to law enforcement officials nationwide to see if anyone recognizes it. Authorities on Thursday were

The Trustees of the Former Agents of the FBI Foundation recently voted to award a scholarship for the 2013-2014 collegiate year to Joel H. Goodloe of Mechanicsville. He will attend Carnegie Mellon University in the fall. Goodloe’s father, Raymond J. Goodloe III, is a member of the FBI National Academy. The funding of the Foundation scholarship program is based in part on an endowment made by the late Mrs. Rosamond Woodruff Morgan in honor of her husband, Judge Roy L. Morgan. The Foundation continues to honor the memory of Mr. and Mrs. Morgan through scholarships granted to outstanding

Fluvanna crash claims life of Mechanicsville man Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com
A two-vehicle crash Saturday morning claimed the life of a Mechanicsville man and seriously injured his wife in Fluvanna County. According to Corinne Geller, public relations director of the Virginia State Police, Chris R. Neagle, 51, died at the scene of the accident, which occurred at 11:45 a.m. on Route 15, less
MOVIE Continued from pg. 1
Neighbors from the adjacent Brandy Creek subdivision expressed concerns regarding traffic, increased crime rates and noise, but Planning Commission members said the applicant, Hanover Village LLC, had satisfied most concerns in those areas. The proposal now moves forward to the Hanover County Board of Supervisors for final consideration. Planning director David Maloney and his staff recommended approval of the project with some restrictions.

His wife, Cynthia Neagle, 51, was transported to the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville for treatment of serious, but nonlife threatening injuries. A report from the investigating officer, Virginia State Police Trooper E.B. Hallman Jr., said Chris Neagle was driving a 2013 Ford Focus north on Route 51 when he slowed to a stop to
He did acknowledge that the project would impact the neighborhood, but explained that the current B-1 zoning allows many uses, some of them possibly not as attractive as the movie complex. Attorney Andy Condlin represented the applicants and requested some changes to those restrictions, specifically the time of operations guidelines. While the county recommended no screenings beginning later than 11:30 p.m. with three exceptions for 12:15 a.m. showings monthly for premiere type events, the applicant wanted more.

make a left turn into a private drive. As Chris Neagle turned left, Geller said a northbound tractor-trailer was unable to stop in time and swerved to the left in an attempt to avoid the car, but ended up striking it in the driver’s side. Donald W. Sly, 49, of Iowa, the driver of the tractor-trailer, was not injured in the crash. Geller said Sly has been charged with reckless
driving. The tractor-trailer was empty at the time. The crash remains under investigation. The Virginia State Police Motor Carrier Safety Team and Accident Reconstruction Team also responded to the scene to assist with the investigation. Route 15 was reopened to traffic by 4:25 p.m. on Saturday.
a.m. showings on Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights would allow the company more flexibility to accommodate premieres that often fall on the same weekend. Chair Claiborne Winborne said she could not support those changes and recommended the hours remain the same as the ones stated in the restrictions. Commissioner Ashley Peace recommended additional landscaping in the buffered zones and enhanced architectural elements for the building. Condlin agreed to both of those conditions. Several Brandy Creek residents said their neighborhood is already used as a cut-through for motorists, and the construction of a movie theatre would only exasperate that situation. During two community meeting held by the developer, the traffic and quality of life issues were paramount. Maloney said the applicant agreed to reconfigure the entrance on Brandy Creek
Road in an effort to discourage traffic from entering the neighborhood when exiting the complex. Hanover Village also proffered Virginia Department of Transportation road improvements to Mechanicsville Turnpike and Brandy Creek Drive. The channeling measures would attempt to prohibit cars from turning in to the neighborhood, but several speakers said the simple placement of signs would not discourage some motorists. David Jennings, a 25-year resident of Brandy Creek, spoke in opposition to the proposed theatre and said it was not the best use for that property. “This business is not a good fit for that area,” Jennings said. “There are better locations in Hanover County for this business.” Jennings also had some thoughts on the traffic channeling proposals that seek to prevent cut-through traffic. “The no right turn lane and curbing is a real nice token to
throw out there, but I can tell you as a retired law enforcement officer with 25 years experience, it’s a joke,” Jennings told the Planning Commission. The project is expected to provide in excess of 60 jobs, and Maloney said it was his hope the theatre would breathe new life into the adjacent shopping center. Jennings said those jobs weren’t exactly what they were cracked up to be. “You’re going to have a lot of part-time jobs,” he said. Condlin said Carmike would provide security at the theatre and employ a trained staff of employees to maintain the well-being of their guests. Jennings’ concerns were echoed by several speakers who spoke during the public hearing in opposition to the project. A lone citizen spoke in favor of the project, saying it would bring jobs and revitalize a partially occupied shopping center. Henry District resident Scott Marshall sat with his daughter
Abigail through the long hearing, and expressed his concerns regarding the project. “I’m not against a theatre in Hanover County, but we’ve been down this road before. I would suggest we take this effort and push toward an area better suited for it,” Marshall said. His reference might have been to a Regal Cinema effort that went through similar motions in 1998, before abandoning the project located across the street from the current proposal. Randy Whittaker, who represents Mechanicsville on the Planning Commission, thanked the residents for their input and then moved for a recommendation of approval for the CUP. Carmike is headquartered in Columbus, Ga., and operates more than 240 theatres nationwide, one of them located in Midlothian. The Board of Supervisors will consider the application at its August or September meetings.

Sowders celebrate 50 years of marriage, friendship James L. “Jim” and Betty Sowder of Mechanicsville will celebrate 50 years of marriage on July 27, 2013. For fortythree of those years they have been Hanover County residents and 34 year members of Mechanicsville Baptist Church. They both grew up in the Alleghany Springs section of Montgomery County. They first attended the same two room school, later the same high school, and the same church. Jim and Betty went their separate ways when Jim became a student and later graduated from Virginia Tech, but met up again by chance in Christiansburg the morning Jim was headed to the draft board to be inducted into the U. S. Army for what was his obligatory service at that time. Betty was headed to her summer job at Leggett’s Department Store prior to attending Radford College the next fall. With college behind them, they both ended up with jobs in the Tidewater area; where they started dating for the very first time. The rest, as they say, “is history”. One could look at these

Local youth wins national Pitch, Hit & Run title By Danny Polk For The Mechanicsville Local Ten-year-old Brett Allen got to do something most baseball fans can only dream about – compete on a big-league ball field. In doing so, the Little Leaguer from Mechanicsville got his chance to come through in the clutch, winning Major League Baseball’s national Pitch, Hit & Run competition in the 9-10 year old division in the final event of the contest, which was held before the Home Run Derby during the Major Leagues’ All-Star festivities at New York’s Citi Field on July 15. In the Pitch, Hit & Run competition, contestants score points by hitting a strike zone target while pitching, hitting off a tee with both accuracy and distance, and by recording their running time from second base to home plate. Brett qualified for the national event by winning local, sectional and regional-level competitions. Being chosen to represent the Washington Nationals – in the regional contest held at Nationals Park in June – was not enough to guarantee a ticket to the national competition at Citi Field. For that, he had to be among the top three of the 30 regional winners in his age group to advance. Brett had to best Houston

in the second part of the contest by hitting the ball about 200 feet off the tee. Brett and Parker were just about even going into the last part of the competition, the run. “We knew it was going to come down to who had the better time,” said Brett’s dad,
Steve Allen. Brett ran from second base to home plate in 8.38 seconds, outrunning Parker by half a second. Still, Brett had to wait until the winners were announced, mid-way through the Home Run Derby, to find out if he had won. After the suspense, Brett
was crowned champion. “I felt kind of relieved because I wasn’t sure I had won,” he said. Brett did better than he and his family had hoped. “When we started out at Atlee Little League for the local competition, he had never done [Pitch, Hit & Run] before.
For him to take it as far as he did, being the national champ, was beyond my expectations,” Steve Allen said. “You see these things and you figure some kid from California is going to win.” As part of the post-competition festivities, the 24 Pitch, Hit & Run competitors of all age see PITCH, pg. 37
Offense powers Post 175 into District 11 title game By Paislee Winkler For The Mechanicsville Local Mechanicville Post 175 took advantage of a first-game forfeit and two commanding victories over Powhatan Post 201 and West End Post 361 last weekend to advance to the American Legion District 11 tournament championship, which was held Tuesday. Mechanicville defeated Post 201 7-3 Friday night and Post 361 11-3 Saturday. Midlothian Post 186 forfeited to Post 175 on the opening night of the tournament. The key to advancing was scoring early and often, said Post 175 manager Eddie Gates. “By getting out ahead in the first innings we put the pressure on them,” Gates said. “It’s what we did and that how we have been playing all year and that’s how we are looking at it.” Mechanicville followed the Gates’ doctrine in Friday’s game against Powhatan by scoring a run with two outs in the bottom of the first. Michael Thomas, Bryant Lowry and Luke Bolka hit back-to-back singles, with Bolka’s hit driving Thomas home. Post 201 never caught
Dave Lawrence/The Local
Luke Bolka of Mechanicsville Post 175 hits a home run against West End Post 361 in the Legion District 11 tournament Saturday night at Atlee High School. Bolka finished with a 3-for-5, three RBI performance to lead Post 175 to an 11-3 victory.
up. Post 175 picked up the runs it needed for the win in the third inning. Thomas singled, Lowry walked, and Bolka drove them home with a three-run home run to make it 4-0. Powhatan scored its first run in the fourth. With one out, Nicky Maiolo singled. Stibel Aleman reached on a fielder’s
choice while Maiolo advanced to third. One out later, Austin Anderson singled home Maiolo. Mechanicville responded with another run in the bottom of the inning. Cody Thompson drew a leadoff walk, advanced on a singles by Sean King and Dalton Ruch and scored on a fielder’s choice by Thomas to
make it 5-1. Post 201 closed the gap with two runs in the eighth inning. Colin Lawless opened the inning with a walk and scored on Maiolo’s two-run home run. But Post 175 responded with two more runs to maintain its lead. Josh Shepherd was hit by a pitch and advanced to third on a groundout and fly ball. Ruch
singled Shepherd home and Lowry doubled Ruch home. Bolka led Mechanicsville by going went 2 for 3 with a home run and three RBIs. He also struck out seven Post 201 batters. Thomas and Ruch finished with three hits apiece. Thomas had a double, three RBI and two runs scored. Ruch had an RBI and one run scored. In a repeat performance, Post 175 got on the scoreboard first with two runs in its first inning against Post 361 Saturday. King drew a leadoff walk in the bottom of the inning, and Ruch reached on a West End error. One out later, King scored on Lowry’s sacrifice fly and Ruch scored on Bolka’s single. Post 361 tied the game with two runs in the top of the second inning. Brandon Stein walked, Michael Sims singled, and Will Black drove in Stein. Two outs later, Jon Richardson singled in Sims. Mechanicsville seized control of the game in the third inning, however, scoring seven runs on five hits and three more West End errors. The eruption began with one out when Thomas singled and Lowry and Bolka reached on errors. Mitch
Keeler walked to bring home Thomas. Cody Powers reached base and Lowry scored on West End’s third error. West End manager Doug Toombs then pulled starting pitcher Kyle Saltzberg in favor of Chance Paley, but Paley could not stem the flood. Shepherd brought Bolka home on a sacrifice fly and Thompson cleared the bases with a threerun home run. King doubled and scored on Ruch’s single to give Mechanicsville a 9-2 lead. The loss to Post 175 was a bitter one for its rival Post 361, which fell to Post 175 in the District 11 title game last year. “I told [my team] before the game started that Post 175 is a team we could not give more than three outs and that third inning we gave them seven,” Toombs said “I knew they would take advantage of that.” Thomas struck out 12 Post 361 batters in eight innings on the mound. Bolka led Mechanicsville’s offense by going 3 for 5 with a home run and three RBIs Sims and Clay Shaw led Post 361 offensively. Shaw had a home run, and Sims turned in a 3-for-5 performance.
Post 206 falls in District 13 tournament By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Ashland Post 206’s American Legion baseball season got a late start. Sunday, in the District 13 tournament at Spotsylvania High School, it had an early – for the players and coaches, at least – end. But it was a respectable end, for Post 206 had survived to the fourth day of the district tournament, and it went down fighting against a higher-seeded Fredericksburg Post 55 by a mere run, 5-4.
Post 206 almost did not field an American Legion team this season. The season was set to begin about a week after the team was formed, and the team was in a new district – District 13 instead of District 11. “I never started until less than a week before my first game,” said Post 206 manager Earl Steele. “It’s amazing that the kids who played for [former coach] Mike Berry last year all came back out.” Despite a rocky start, the scrappy Ashland-based team fought its way into the top half
of the district standings, earning home-field advantage for the first two nights of the tournament. Post 206 had an easy start to the tournament Thursday, earning a forfeit victory over Spotsylvania Post 320. Friday night, however it met a live opponent in Staunton Post 13. The two teams had swapped wins and losses throughout the regular season, but this time Post 206 prevailed, jumping on Staunton with three runs in the bottom of the first and rolling to a 13-3 victory.
Ashland tallied 19 hits in the game. It was led by Cody Crawley with five hits; William Strong with four hits, including two doubles; Hunter McKinney and Nathan Steele, each with three hits, including a double; Chris Estep with two hits, including a solo home run; and Austin Hileman with two hits. Post 13 was led by Jordan Alexander and Jake Showalter Dave Lawrence/The Local with two hits. One of Alexander’s Ashland Post 206 first baseman Joe Buehren and shortstop hits was a double.

Burkwood ready for JRAC swim championships By Paislee Winkler For The Mechanicsville Local Burkwood’s swimmers and divers are ready for the James River Aquatic Club swimming and diving championships this week. The boys and girls dive

chamnpionships were held Monday and Tuesday at Avalon. An All-Star dive meet will be held today at Avalon. More than 70 swimmers will represent Burkwood at the swim championships, which will be held Thursday and Friday at NOVA Aquatic Center.
The Mechanicsville Local July 24, 2013
Burkwood swim coach Karen Seeber said some of her better swimmers in the older age groups will not be present, but that does not dampen her enthusiasm. “We want the kids to have fun and get their best times in the championship,” Seeber said.
With the official start of high school football practice two weeks away, the final two head coach openings in the Richmond area have been filled by Derek Stoudt at Hanover High School and David Davis at Deep Run. Stoudt, an assistant at Hanover the past five years, replaces Josh Just, who became the school’s athletics director on July 1. A center at the University of Richmond, Stoudt previously coached Hanover’s offensive line. He also was a member of the Richmond Raiders, an indoor football team, last season. “It’s a great opportunity,” Stoudt said. “Since I began coaching, I’ve been with the program five years. Five years at Hanover, five years with Josh – to have an opportunity to take over the program is real exciting.” Stoudt took over the football program on an interim basis and began acting as if the job would be his. “When Josh left, I just started doing things as if I was going to be the head coach,” Stoudt said. “I started running practices and started acting as if, you know, this was someday going to be a program that I was going to take over.” He takes the reins of a team that had a record of 61-37 the past eight seasons and played in the past four Division 5 region title games. But Hanover must replace Sam Rogers, its quarterback and offensive motor the past four seasons. “Right now, we’re just trying to find a team identity,” Stoudt said. “Have the leaders step up

Newly appointed Hanover head football coach Derek Stoudt has taught fourth grade at Washington Henry Elementary School in Mechanicsville for several years.
and have them run this team. That’s what [a football camp last week at] Hampden-Sydney was all about for us – gelling as a team, finding those leaders who are going to guide this team to where we have to go.” With practice starting in just a few weeks and the season beginning Sept. 6 against Patrick Henry, it’s a benefit to have a coach who already has his bearings, Just said. “It’s very nice to have someone in place that knows the kids, is comfortable with them, and the kids know him,” Just said. “He’s familiar with the program. He has a youthful intensity about him.” At Deep Run, Davis succeeds Matt McLeod, who became the coach at Grafton High School in York County. McLeod went 17-13 in three seasons. Davis was the defensive coordinator at Dinwiddie the past six seasons under coach Billy Mills. He also served as Mills’ offensive coordinator at Rockbridge during 2001-04. “I feel like he’s been qualified to be a head coach for 10
years,” Mills said. “I knew this day would come eventually. I told him he needed to do it.” Davis’ offense probably will look a lot like Dinwiddie’s — fast-paced, no huddle, lining up four or five receivers. On defense, Davis plans to run an odd-man front like Dinwiddie. “He’ll do a heck of a job there,” Mills said. Deep Run ran more of a power offense last year, relying on now-graduated running back Evan Hinkle. This year, the Wildcats’ offense will be based around quarterback Jack Click, who projects as the starter. “Jack’s a natural leader,” Davis said. “(His teammates) look to him and he accepts that challenge. He puts them on his shoulders.” Deep Run starts practice Aug. 5 and plays its first game on Aug. 29 against James River. “It’s been exciting,” Davis said. “I love the community support that’s been shown since I’ve been here in a very short time. Everything’s been fantastic.” Dave Lawrence contributed to this report.
