The storm that rolled through Mechanicsville Saturday afternoon caused a tree with a 40-inch diameter to fall on a truck and trailer that Len Ellington uses in his landscaping business. They were parked in his driveway in the 8300 block of Carneal Lane when the tree fell. The National Weather Service in Wakefield determined the system was not a tornado but strong winds and thunderstorms. Dave Lawrence/The Local

NNO was a reminder why this is a great place Last Tuesday evening was a reminder of why Mechanicsville is a great place to call home. The fellowship and camaraderie provided by neighborhoods celebrating National Night Out proved special to this writer. It was with a sense of belonging and, I suppose, acceptance that brought out a feeling of truly being home. You see, when my sister passed away two years ago, I had mixed emotions about staying here. Her declining health brought me to Virginia in 2005. I took a job at The Winchester Star, with the goal of finding employment in the Richmond area, where she and her husband had settled in 1976. Her death made me face my future — and just where I wanted to be. Well, I’m fortunate enough to have a good job and work with people I like. Add to that the fact that Mechanicsville quickly became home when I came here in 2008. We are a community of caring people and neighbors are neighbors. National Night Out served as a subtle nudge to yours truly about where I am and where I fit. You have made me feel welcome and are so gracious when I have the pleasure to meet you at events like last week’s NNO. So, it appears that, after five years, I can go along with Dorothy (as in “The Wizard of Oz”) and say, “There’s no place like home.”

A true Southern gentleman Virginia lost one of her most devoted sons a couple of weeks ago with the passing of Sen. Harry F. Byrd Jr. He was, without question, a true Southern gentleman. The Senator leaves behind not only a political legacy but one of commitment to the reading public. He was a newspaperman through and through — and remained a source for journalists seeking comment on a spectrum of subjects. I had the pleasure of working for his family at The Winchester Star. He will be missed as both a leader in Virginia’s newspaper industry and political history. Melody Kinser

Politics blamed for running chimp family out of town Politicians run family out of town. Yes, I am referring to the chimpanzee family that has been banished from Windy Oaks. Two years ago when articles began appearing in The Mechanicsville Local about the short-term “escape” I suspected that politics and politicians were behind the ruckus and today it is painfully obvious that that is true. How sad that a group of politicians have so little compassion and conscience that they have broken up the Shepperson’s family. Anyone who has ever had a pet of any kind — be it a goldfish in a bowl, an AKC Champion, an old nag or a herd of cattle — knows that there is a huge commitment and responsibility required to be a good owner. Along with accepting this responsibility comes love for the animals. It breaks my heart to know that the Sheppersons have to part with the chimps that they love. If Hanover County Board of Supervisors chair Canova Peterson’s prediction that “Hanover will be a safer place when the chimps are gone” is valid, then I will expect that the January Sheriff ’s Office report in The Local will list fewer incidents. Recently there were 12 instances of stolen items, six assaults, one controlled substance, one damaged property. Note that there were no instances of any damage or thefts or maliciousness committed by primates. I look forward to reading the January report. Mr. and Mrs. Shepperson, I wish you and the chimps all the best. I can only hope that knowing that your neighbors and a majority of the community, including the hundreds of school children who have visited Windy Oaks over the years, share in your despair. Bon Voyage to Toby, Chaos, Sierra, Tanzy and Kiera . . . I wish you happiness! Christy Proost Mechanicsville

There are many patriotic churches in this region I am tagging on to Wilma Royer’s letter in a recent publication. Her displeasure is not finding “Patriotic Churches” listed in a public venue. Specifically, she could not find Hanover or area Richmond churches identified on chuckbaldwinlive.com/resources. I want to expand on her dialog. I do not understand the priority of Christian fellowships publicly labeling ourselves as “patriotic.”

Maybe the next sentences will propose a different understanding, demonstrating many local Christian fellowships are patriotic. My family and I are part of a Biblically-based Christian fellowship with several hundred people in weekly attendance. We are patriotic. We do not garner space in a public venue to announce our “patriotism,” there is another priority for Christian fellowships. The first priority is recognition and worship of the One who created us; and all there is, past, present and future. Second priority is our families. Without family, there would soon be a void of those to demonstrate patriotism. Third priority is our part of the inter-dependency as citizens within the Republic we live. This includes the highest esteem and support of our fellow citizens who populate our Armed Services. From these three priorities, we are probably like many Hanover and Richmond Christians. Daily, hundreds of emails go out to our fellowship with prayer requests, asking for prayers of intervention. Every prayer list includes names of those who are serving our country in the Armed Services. There are those in our fellowship who began their tenure with us as infants, when they became an adult they chose the honorable task to defend our freedoms. Sadly, some of these are no longer with us, they gave their all. This degree of patriotism is sobering. If patriotism of a Biblical Christian fellowship means to respect our Republic’s Constitution, it was our Founding Fathers who patterned national polity after the Bible. To this day, many churches are like us. We are independent, we adhere to open church government. Robert’s Rules of Order affords orderliness and an open dialog where decisions are made publicly. Are many Hanover and Greater Richmond Christian fellowships unpatriotic? To the contrary, see for yourself, bring your Bible, visit us, you will feel at home in our patriotic fellowships. see LETTERS, pg. 8

According to Battalion Chief Jason William, who serves as public information officer for Hanover County Fire/EMS, some of the residents of the Pebble Creek subdivision were home at the time. They escaped with no injuries being reported. Williams said the fire remains under investigation and a damage estimate was not available. The blaze did spread through the second floor roof.

Public Schools system. But the data is cause for some concern and, I think, deserving of explanation by the Hanover County School Board to parents and the public. Data for 2013 is only available for the first six months of the calendar year. So this analysis compares the first six months of 2013 with the average of the same period of six months for the three prior years, 2010, 2011and 2012. To further disclose the basis for my analysis the only relevant data available to the public is found in the “School Notes” for each school board meeting. A breakout between resignations and retirements is not provided in these Board Notes. Total departures (all employees) in the first six months of 2013 are up 28 percent vs. the I may very well be drawing average of the three prior years. the incorrect conclusions about Classroom teacher departhe 2013 rate of teacher attrisee LETTERS, pg. 15 tion from the Hanover County

Now radicals in the Tea Party and Democrat parties will have you believe that they are fighting to have these programs stopped because it is for the betterment of you and your family.

Once a person has it in their mind and has convinced themselves to spread these acts they are fanatics and that, folks, is fanaticism. There are hundreds of homegrown terror groups here within the United States and the number is growing weekly if not daily. Those dedicated professionals in law enforcement have dedicated their lives to eradicating groups like this.

She is friendly with medium energy and good with other dogs. She also is up-to-date on vaccinations, including rabies and is heartworm negative.

tures (all grades) are 39 percent above the average for three prior years. Eighty-two teachers have departed in the first six months. High school classroom teacher departures are 60 percent above the average of the three prior years. Thirtytwo high school teachers have departed in the first six months. It is possible this data is just a statistical fluke. Or, perhaps our better economy led to teachers leaving for better paying jobs. Or, perhaps there is a larger than usual group of retirements. I certainly do not have the answers. I only have the question: Why? The school board has failed to publicly address this issue. The board even had a formal request from two parents to place the topic on the June 2013 agenda. To the best of my

knowledge, this request was ignored. As I have said, the reasons for this spike in departures could be several. But the board could at least provide parents and the public with full disclosure as to what has caused this sharp rise in departures. We all realize the departure of experienced classroom teachers does represent a serious loss to our school system. I ask you to consider the facts above. If this is a reason for your concern about the future of Hanover County Public Schools, please voice that concern to the school board. (Email addresses for board members may be found on the Hanover County Public School website.) You can be a “voice.” Ragan Phillips Ashland

list is more than just lip service and serves as a working model to guide action plans and address problems. “This is not a document that sits on the shelf. It’s similar to a Comprehensive Plan for the school system,” Hundley said. Vice chairman Glenn Millican said he also supports the long-range goals but said it falls short in some important areas. He said improved communication between school leaders and county planners should be addressed in the listing. “We are too dependent on the teachers and faculty to provide operational support,” Millican said. He also cited a need for county planners to consider school bus stops and walking paths when development occurs that could impact the county’s schools. “We don’t want to get involved in the political process, do we?” asked member Hank Lowery. Member John Axselle said the school system being involved in planning at the county level is vital. They need to know the impact of new development on the school system, he added. Wilson said that process currently takes place to a degree through the Education Committee. Assistant superintendent David Meyers provided initial figures regarding the upcoming budget process. Although solid numbers are hard to come by at this time in the process, the county is expecting a 10 percent increase and there are additional charges expected with Virginia Retirement System adjust-

ments. Looking ahead through 2015, Meyers said there is no funding for increased salaries or improved technology in the preliminary figures. Wilson said additional compensation is a priority, and employees have received only minimal increases in the past five years. “We need to do something,” she said. That could include adjustments on the benefit or salary side for teachers and other school employees. Member Earl Hunter recommended a 4 percent increase for teachers in the upcoming budget. Hank Lowry did not appear as enthusiastic about the increases and pointed out that many in the Hanover County community haven’t received raises for years. “We have to look at the people who are paying these salaries. Everyone has had to change their lifestyles,” Lowry said. Millican said he didn’t necessarily trust the preliminary revenue figures provided by the state, and blamed the VRS mess on

the failure of legislators to properly fund the program for years. He also said sales tax figures for Hanover are hard to judge because the retail community is smaller than other counties. Millican said he also wants a recurring maintenance reserve element in the budget proposal. Meyers suggested forming a finance committee to work with his department during the upcoming budget process. While some board members embraced that idea, others thought seven minds are always better than two. Wilson suggested initiating a committee approach and monitoring it to gauge results. She suggested a finance committee could serve as a good “sounding board” before this year’s budget process. The panel also considered class sizes and teacher-to-student ratios, expressing an urge to keep numbers down in preelementary classes, around 22 per class with a goal of 20. Wilson said there are state standards and see WORKSHOP, pg. 27

Oversize utility credits slated for PENNINGTON AT RUTLAND public hearing EXP LORE H IST ORY. D ISCOVER YO URS ELF. B UI LD M EM O RI ES .

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local An adjustment to Hanover’s County’s system of providing credits to developers could spur more economic development in targeted areas. That’s according to Public Utilities director Steve Herzog, who suggested the county move toward “the middle” with its current conservative policy of rewarding developers for infrastructure improvements that serve more than just their specific development. “We started out by looking at our policy and comparing it to what other localities do,” Herzog said. Some counties offer refunds when developers provide oversized infrastructure, but Herzog said he favors maintaining the county’s current voucher policy, where credits are issued. “Hanover’s policy is one of the more limited, least generous oversize credit policies that we found. Our goal is to move our credit policy to the middle of the road without trying to be the most generous in the area,” Herzog told supervisors at a recent meeting. The current policy only issues credits for material costs only and places a three-year time limit on the vouchers. If they are not used, they expire. Herzog said the current policy was designed to promote compact growth in the Suburban Service Area. The cost of moving far away from root infrastructure was prohibitive, so development proceeded close to existing water and sewer connections. “This was to encourage compact and contiguous devel-

opment. To your point, it has discouraged people from going a long way away from where we have water and sewer lines,” said county administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. The proposed new policy would allow credits based on on-site costs, meaning the added construction costs of installing oversized water and sewer pipes would be shared by the county. “It’s a significant change,” Herzog said, pointing out that the revised policy would double the amount of credits in some cases. The revised policy also recommends the county be responsible for 20 percent of soft costs for off-site improvements. It also suggests a revision in the time limit from three to five years for issued credits. Herzog said the revisions are better suited for today’s development patterns, and brings see UTILITY, pg. 24

the county’s policy more in line with neighboring localities. The bottom line, it makes the county more attractive to developers. “This provides additional support for the county’s economic development strategy,” Herzog said. “We think it makes more property viable for development with public water and sewer within the Suburban Service Area,” he added South Anna District supervisor Wayne Hazzard supported the revisions, and even suggested they should go further. He suggested doubling water and sewer credits in a combined fashion. “I’m dealing with fairness,” Hazzard said. “Is there a reason the sewer tap fees could not be

applied to the water fees?” Water and sewer services have separate budgets and bookkeeping procedures, and Herzog said he would advise not combining the two. But Hazzard’s point was well taken in that the developer who pays for the oversized lines gets stuck with the most substantial bill while others further down the line enjoy the benefits. Many developments cannot attract enough water and sewer connections to recoup their costs. “Are there projects that have not gone forward because of the cost of utilities? My guess would be yes,” Herzog said. The new policy, in Herzog’s estimation, is a step in the right direction. He asked the supervisors to schedule a public hearing on the proposed changes at its Sept. 11 meeting.

there are “Hanover” standards that are often more restrictive than state guidelines. When it comes to prekindergarten and elementary classes, Wilson said increasing the number of students could have a direct correlation with lowered performance. “I don’t know that there is a purely causal relationship.

result of a physical lack of space and most Hanover schools are under capacity as the new school year begins. “From a facilities perspective, we have space,” Wilson said. “The question on the staff side is: Do you believe we should add staff to drive down the size of those individual class makeups?” Norman Sulser, one of the board’s newest members, said it doesn’t make sense for schools like Lee-Davis High School to be busting at the seams, while Hanover High School sits well under capacity.

Local trainer sets Goochland triathlon record By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Michael Harlow, founder of Endorphin Fitness, a training center in Richmond, got to practice a bit of what he is known for preaching to athletes throughout the region. Furthermore, he demonstrated that he can do as well as teach, outpacing his nearest rival, Brian Walter of Blacksburg, by more than a minute in setting a new course record for the Goochland Sprint Triathlon Saturday morning. Harlow finished in 54:34, followed by Walter in 55:43. Henrico’s Kevin Burcham was third, two minutes behind Harlow with a 56:34 time. Rounding out the top five was Mechanicsville’s Sean Gardner (57:54) and Chesterfield’s Matthew Pugh (58.24). Harlow’s record was 43 seconds better than Geoffrey Briers’ 55:17 finish last year and more than five minutes better than Cary Ayers’ winning time of 59:41 in the triathlon’s first running in 2011. This was Harlow’s first appearance at the event hosted by the Goochland YMCA, but he’s no newcomer to triathlons. “I’ve been racing for twentyone years,” Harlow said. “I do about eight a year, probably, on average.” He said he enjoyed the course, which features a bicycle portion around Goochland

Court House and a run on the grounds of J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College. “It’s a great race. It’s an awesome area,” Harlow said. “It’s fun to have a two-loop bike course, a two-loop run course. It was great, that off-road run course. Yeah, it was just a wellrun race all around.” Another experienced triathlete, Andrea Latell of Irvington,

The Mechanicsville Local

August 14, 2013

shared Harlow’s opinion of the course. “I like this course. I thought it was great – a great venue, very pretty,” said Latell. “I would come back.” Latell finished 10th overall among women contestants and third in the women’s master’s division with a time of 1:12:50. Esther Vermeer of Clifton was the top women’s finisher with

a 1:02:16 finish, followed by Connie Glueck of Williamsburg (1:05:24), Christina Meyer of Charlottesville (1:05:48), Nicole Weidensaul of Locust Grove (1:06:20) and Kate Fisher of Midlothian (1:06:37). Vermeer, a recent graduate of Duke and former Blue Devil cross-country runner, is a newcomer to the triathlon scene. “This is my first one,”

Vermeer said. “But I was on the Duke track and field team, so I was used to running a lot, and my boyfriend kind of pushed me out to come and do this one.” She did not expect to win. “I’m a little surprised, a little shocked,” Vermeer said. “I need to work on my swim and my bike a little bit before I get a lot better, but the run was fun. I

just wanted to have fun, to go out here and get involved with the sport and hopefully stick with it.” One person who has been sticking with it is Mechanicsville’s Gene White, who for the third straight year has been the oldest participant in the race. This year, though, the 80-year-old White competed without the support of his wife, Nancy, who died suddenly in May. “It was quick, very unexpected,” White said. “But I have three children who were just terrific. They looked after me very, very well, and I’m sort of getting back into it.” White said training for the triathlon helped, too. “This helps a lot, gets your mind off of it,” White said. “It gives me more energy, yes, and certainly takes my mind off of things that aren’t very good and on to things that are good.” For Gardner, a former crosscountry runner at Atlee who is now attending Virginia Tech, this year’s result was more than a minute improvement over his 10th-place finish last year – something of a surprise to him because his college workload has cut into his training. “I haven’t been running as much since I’ve been in college,” Gardner said. “I’ve gotten a lot better at biking, though. I joined the triathlon team at Virginia Tech, and that’s helped me get faster.”

Lee-Davis seeks Hall of Fame nominees By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Lee-Davis High School is looking for a few good athletes, and it would like your help. The school is welcoming nominations from the public for its inaugural class of inductees for the Lee-Davis High School Athletic Hall of Fame. But nominations will only be accepted through Aug. 31. Given its more than halfcentury of history, Lee-Davis athletic boosters felt it was about time to establish a hall of fame to commemorate its sports heritage. “We’re all about the pursuit of and celebration of excellence in athletics,” said Connie Cost, president of the hall of fame committee. “The high school

TO SUBMIT NOMINATIONS • In person: Pick up a nomination form at the Lee-Davis High School Office 7052 Mechanicsville Turnpike Mechanicsville, VA 23111

started in 1959, so we have a tremendous pool of athletes and athletic accomplishments to consider. … Our design is not to be easy to get into.” The plan is to limit the number of inductees to no more than five per year. So if a favorite is not inducted in the inaugural class, there is always next year. “Our message is really that it’s not about who gets in the first class or who doesn’t,” Cost said. “We will recognize everyone who deserves to be inducted.” The committee has set six criteria for eligibility:

Congratulations, Hornets

• Via the Web: http://www.hcps.us/ldhs under “Athletics” • Via Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ldhsathletichalloffame

1. Each athletic nominee must be a graduate of Lee-Davis High School. 2. Each nominee must have graduated five or more years ago. 3. Significant achievements must have been made by the nominee in his/her sport, to include high school, college, professional, or amateur venues. 4. The nominee must reflect the highest standards of sportsmanship and good citizenship. 5. Nominees other than athletes who have contributed significantly to the enhancement

of “the athletic environment” of Lee-Davis High School may be inducted. 6. Selections may not be made solely on the basis of financial contributions. Cost said the committee is also seeking sponsors for the hall of fame and the induction ceremony, which is scheduled for Friday, Jan. 17. The plan is to honor the inductees at a banquet early that evening, then introduce them during halftime of the Atlee/Lee-Davis boys’ basketball game, likewise scheduled for that night. To nominate someone for consideration, pick up a form from the Lee-Davis High School Office, or via the Lee-Davis Athletics web site or the LeeDavis High School Athletic Hall of Fame Facebook page.

Congratulations to the Atlee Little League 9-10 girls’ softball team for winning the Virginia state tournament. After winning the District 5 championship on Jul. 11, the team traveled to Lebanon for the state tournament. These twelve rising fifthand sixth-grade girls showed incredible teamwork and Atlee pride as they went undefeated through both tournaments, averaging more

than 10 runs per game while allowing less than two runs. This is the first state softball championship for Atlee Little League. The champsionships are a testament to the hard work, dedication, and good sportsmanship of the girls and their coaches. The team was recognized at the Richmond Flying Squirrels’ game on Aug. 3.

7-year-old handles links in Galloway tourney finish By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com By the time the 72nd annual Tommy Galloway Father-Son Golf Tournament finally came to an end Friday – after completion of a round postponed by rain nearly a month ago – relatively little had changed on the overall leaderboard, especially at the top. The top two father-son teams, Ed and Kevin McGeorge and Mark Lawrence Sr. and Mark Lawrence Jr., were still at the top, with the McGeorge’s 3-under-par 69 edging the Lawrence’s 2-under 70. But much remained to be sorted out among the various age-group entries in the shotgun-start, best-ball event. And more important for the participants, there was much to learn in confronting the hazardous and not-so-hazardous portions of Hermitage Country Club’s Manakin Course. Will Dickinson, one of the youngest entrants in the tournament at a mere 7 years of age, had to learn that “Golf is a game of failure,” said his father, Ned Dickinson. The Dickinsons, from Williamsburg, were paired with Henrico residents Ronnie and Matthew Shriner for the makeup round, which had been postponed from July 12. His day began with fun. “Making a birdie on the first hole,” was the highlight of the day for Will. But the day nearly ended on a sour note after his dad hit the ball in a sand trap on the final hole, leaving Will a nearly impossible pitch out – close to the edge of the bunker facing the green, with the lip of the bunker above his head. He gamely attempted to hit the ball out, but it bounced back in the sand. The frustration, after a long

day – with some waning of attention span – got to Will briefly, but his father calmed him down. Ned Dickinson also took advantage of a better lie to get the ball on the green with their next shot, and Will calmly nailed a long (for him) putt to salvage a bogey from what could have been a disastrous finale. “You did a good job of stay-

ing in it and making a good putt, didn’t you?” his dad asked, to which Will answered, “Yeah.” Will Dickinson was not the only member of the foursome getting a bit of an education. Both the Shriners were learning patience. “It worked out great,” Ronnie Shriner said of the lesson. “It doesn’t always go well, but we had a great time today.”

Matthew Shriner, 13, said that while he had patience with his dad, he didn’t always have patience with himself. The pair, veterans of the Tommy Galloway tournament, had not been able to practice as much as they usually do to get ready for this year’s tournament, but the lack of practice may have paid off. “This year was a little bit

more relaxed,” Ronnie Shriner said. “We didn’t have high expectations as we’ve had in the past. But we still come out here to hit every shot the best we can and to play as hard as we can, and it worked out today – it worked out great today. We had a great score for us.” Ned Dickinson had a different lesson to learn. In the past, he played in the tournament

with his father and had planned to do so again back in July, but his father’s recent illness created an opportunity for him to tee off in the father role. “It was good. It was a different level of pressure,” Ned Dickinson said. “I can now empathize with my father for putting up with me all those years. It was really neat to see [Will] hit some great shots and it was neat to birdie the first hole. I think I’ll always remember that.” The McGeorges and Lawrences were named overall champion and runners-up, respectively. Divisional winners (based on age of the son) include Ray and Quint Dingledine, who had the lowest gross score in the 11 & under age division with a 77. Todd and Jack Hoyle had the lowest net score (based on handicap) with a 72. Will and Beau Holmes had the lowest gross score in the 12 & 13 division, a 79. Bruce and A.J. Stouffer had the lowest net score. a 73. Don and Alex Nelson topped the 14 & 15 division with a gross score of 72. Art & Brandon Locke had the lowest net score with a 73. Tim and Corey Lyons had the lowest gross score in the 16 and 17 division with a 76. Ed and Brian Hill had the lowest net score with a 72. Brian and Austin Gray finished atop the 18 to 28 division with a gross score of 72. Marc and Sam Williams had the lowest net score with a 70. Hank and Knox Milligan finished atop the 29 to 39 division with a gross score of 71. Dean and Matt Evans had the lowest net score, a 70. Mike and Rob Berry topped the 40 & over division with a gross score of 73. John and Mike Bolino had the lowest net score of 71.
