Hanover County’s proposed Comprehensive Plan Update contains some significant changes to current land use guidelines, and, last week, the members of the public got their first formal opportunity to speak on the record regarding the new plan and the changes proposed. After numerous community meetings and
workshops conducted by the Hanover County Planning Commission and Hanover County Board of Supervisors, a line of speakers echoed a familiar anti-revision message to concerned supervisors at Wednesday’s public hearing. Many commented on the new plan’s intent to target high-density housing and growth in certain portions of the county. Most said expanded see UPDATE, pg. 26

Local family hopes to adopt three siblings from Uganda By Jodi Deal jdeal@mechlocal.com When Desiree and Matt Williams tuck their four children into bed at night, three beds in the kids’ rooms remain empty. The kids the Williams’ feel belong in those beds are a world away in Africa, waiting in an
orphanage in Uganda. It will likely take $35,000 to $40,000 to complete the adoption process, along with plenty of red tape, ranging from home visits to official government dossiers and $10,000 court dates.

York completes Governor’s School for Agriculture 5 NEIGHBORS
Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com McKenzie York of Mechanicsville graduated from the 2013 Governor’s School of Agriculture, which was held June 30 to July 27, at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. A senior from Hanover High School, McKenzie was one of 100 rising junior and senior high school students from across the commonwealth selected to participate in the month-long summer residential program for gifted students interested in agriculture and natural resources. The program was developed in 2001 to provide hands-on, cutting-edge, scientific and academic instruction to future leaders and scientists to promote their understanding of the scope, opportunities and challenges through academic and scientific rigor of the broad fields of agriculture, human health, natural resources and veterinary medicine. Students received instruction from Virginia Tech professors in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, the College of Natural Resources, and the VirginiaMaryland Regional College of Veterinary Medicine. In addition, agricultural education teachers from school divisions around the state joined the school’s faculty. “The Virginia Governor’s School for Agriculture is a great way to introduce Virginia’s youth to the science of agriculture,” Curtis Friedel, GSA director and assistant professor of agriculture and

extension education in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, said. “Many of the students attending our program don’t have an agricultural background, so it is very informative for them to see all the possible careers in agriculture available to them.” Each student was assigned to a “major,” a class made up of about 20 students, based on his or her interests. These included animal science, plant science, food science, agricultural engineering, and agricultural economics, with lead-
ership classes integrated into each program. Students in each major completed the same specialized course designed to provide major-specific instruction and to prepare them to work on a major-specific project. Each major was divided into work groups to undertake a group research project that culminated in a symposium and poster session on the last day of the school. Although the school cursee YORK, pg. 4

Desiree is chronicling the family’s experience at her blog, A Peculiar Family. Desiree said she and Matt have been mulling over adoption since around the time their son Titus was born four years ago. “We knew we felt called to do it — especially a sibling group,” Williams said. “That’s what we’d want for our kids. That’s what we’d want for any children.” In May, the couple decided to take the plunge, and began talks with Christian orphanages in Haiti, the Congo and Uganda. They soon found that Haiti’s laws forbid parents who are less than 35 to adopt children from that country, nixing 32-year-old Matt and 30-year-old Desiree out of the gate. The agency in the Congo didn’t have any available sibling groups. Uganda had two families of children await-

riculum was intense, students also participated in a variety or recreational activities, field trips and industry tours during the 28 days. Students interested in par-
ing new homes. When Desiree and Matt opened emails with photos of the Ugandan children, the decision made itself. “Matt looked at Margaret and said, ‘That’s my daughter’,” Desiree said. Ever since, the family has been jumping through legal hoops and holding fundraisers in hopes of avoiding massive debt, which Desiree said, worst case scenario, they’re willing to incur. Her children, Titus, Trinity, Emma and Azriel, are encouraging friends and businesses to collect change in jars. The family is selling soap. A yard sale, bake sale and kids’ day, with lemonade, snow cones, face-painting and a moon bounce, was held in Aylett on Aug. 10, and pulled in more than $1,000. The Williams’ biological children, who are home-schooled, are learning as much as they can about Uganda while they wait
on their adoptive siblings. According to Desiree, the family has studied the book “Kisses for Kate,” which is the author’s true traveling to Uganda to work in a daycare center. The book’s namesake never left Uganda, and now has 12 adopted daughters. The country, which is about the size of Oregon, faces massive poverty and oppressive warlords. One such warlord, Joseph Kony, known for abducting children and turning them into either soldiers or slaves, was the subject of a massively popular viral video, Kony 2012, which brought international attention to the country, Desiree noted. Margaret, Joel and Kenneth’s father is dead, and their mother dropped them off at an orphanage when she could no longer afford to keep them. The photos the family has of the Ugandan children were taken that day, and they are dressed in tattered, dirty clothing and falling-apart
flip-flops. For Desiree, the sensation of missing children she has never met but feels are hers is strange. “This weekend Miss M turned 9,” Desiree posted on her blog on June 9. “I know I’m not her mama yet, but I am. Does that make sense? I wish I could have flown to Uganda today to hold her, spoil her, and make her day as special as she is.” The Williams’ worry, too — and with good reason. “Kenneth is 4,” Desiree said. “One in four children in Uganda will die from malaria before the age of 5.” For more information about the family’s efforts, email Williams at deznmatt@yahoo. com or call her at 804-296-5444.

Members of the Episcopal Church of the Creator Youth Group in Mechanicsville recently traveled to Hurley, Buchanan County, to participate in a mission project. They helped the community by making home repairs and cleaning up the environment.
Add to that a worsening economy and Hurley residents have found it difficult to make ends meet, resulting in even more difficulty in keeping up with home repairs and renovations. The community was deemed the most deserving place for CYG to help make a difference. “We had 17 youth and nine adults ready to do everything from home repairs to possible even environmental cleanup,”

While most realize a mission trip means spending time helping others, it’s also a time to share Christian faith with people through the demonstration of God’s love in practical and tangible ways. However, some youth from Episcopal Church of the Creator may not have known what they would leave behind and take away for themselves. In June, the Church of Creator Youth Group (CYG) put their skills and faith to the test when they traveled to Hurley. Nestled in Buchanan County, a short distance from the Kentucky and West Virginia borders, Hurley’s livelihood is dependent mostly upon the coal industry. Unfortunately, the steady decline in that industry has contributed to a steady decline overall in the Hurley community: Unemployment is high and economic prospects few and far between.

Going back to school: recalling that first day Hanover County Public Schools opened the 2013-2014 term yesterday and brought back memories of this writer’s school days (and it’s been some time since the first day of school was an issue). Let’s go back many years — to the official first day of school. It was 1962 and — even though I’d been through the doors of the elementary school many times since my sister was five grades ahead — it was more daunting when yours truly became a student. Back then, school started with the first grade. We didn’t have public kindergarten. (Hey, it was 51 years ago — ouch!) There wasn’t much appeal for this new student. As a matter of fact, that initial step into the classroom was met with a less than friendly attitude on this first-timer’s part. I bit the teacher. Yes, you read that right. I bit the teacher — much to the horror of my mother who had accompanied me on this unfamiliar journey. So, on my first day of school, my sister patiently sat with me, putting her sixth grade start on hold for a few hours. She was always the patient one. Fortunately, my first grade teacher was kind, gracious and nurturing. She helped put many new students on the right path to knowledge. Jump ahead to 1968 when there was that “kicked in the gut” feeling waiting for the bus to go to junior high school. Yes, back in the good ol’ days, there was junior high with grades seven through nine. This was a milestone moment because we were transported to school in the city. Mind you, that city is small but it did boast two junior high schools. And it was a big step from the elementary school that was familiar and comfortable. Well, the junior high years passed and it was on to high school, which created many great memories. Every year brought with it exciting new challenges and opportunities. Through the years, I have encouraged friends’ children to especially take advantage of the high school experience. Enjoy it, live it, but, most of all, learn, learn, learn. Only you can determine the next step in the journey. I would be remiss if I didn’t issue the usual “Be careful out there” statement with the start of a new school year. Motorists, watch out for our students. They are the future. Melody Kinser

Early hours are the best for children to learn This letter is in response to Ted Mentz’s suggestion to change the school hours to 10 to 6. Ted seems to want to punish the children. Although waking up early may not be easy, it is the best time for learning. Early in the day is when we are at our best and fresh. I’m sure the kids would love to sleep late but this is not always a good thing. But worse is the fact that they wouldn’t get home till after dark with no time to unwind after school before starting their homework. Personally, I liked getting off around 3:30 or 4. Then there would still be some daylight left. Also, this would force the bus drivers to drive at night for returning the students home. And don’t forget about after-school activities that would go into the evening. Larry Weinstein Mechanicsville
First, why has Hanover teamed up with a for-profit “charity?” Goodwill is not an altruistic organization that is spreading the wealth, so to speak. Their stores are treated as retail stores with the objective of making a profit. The CEO makes over $2 million a year, and upper management also brings in very large salaries. I’m always hesitant of organizations like these, when you have a place like the Salvation Army, where the commissioner makes less than $15,000 a year. Second, who cares if pickers come and get some items left in the recycle area? The point of the recycle area was to provide a place you could get rid of gently used items without having to throw them away. Now, if you want to leave a gently used item, it must go to Goodwill, and, on top of that, the Goodwill trailer must have space. I’d love to hear the “real” explanation as to why Goodwill is now at the dump. Phillip Adams Mechanicsville
Resident questions ‘charity’s’ Reader questions IRS about location at dump station attacks on conservatives I’m writing in regards to changes at the Verdi Lane dump station. Not too long ago I had some gently used patio furniture along with some bed frames and furniture that I wanted to leave at the “recycle” area where other patrons of the dump station have a chance to pick up items such as these that are left behind. I was surprised to see that area was no longer there . . . instead a Goodwill trailer was there, along with a Goodwill employee. He said this was now the drop-off point for items you do not wish to throw in the dumpsters. He then informed me that I would not be able to leave my furniture, as the trailer was full and he had no idea when a new one was coming. To say I was taken aback is an understatement. He would not take the furniture so it had to go into the dumpsters. When I drove up to the dumpsters and questioned the county employee as to why there was no longer a public “recycle” type area, he explained that they were having trouble with what they deemed professional pickers who would stalk the give away-area and scoop up the items, which they then would sell. Because it was not fair they were getting much of the items left, the dump decided to partner with Goodwill. Again, I left scratching my head wondering what logic was that.
The recent exposure of the Internal Revenue Service attacks on conservative groups is just one example of an administration-wide effort to silence critics. In some instances, the attack on conservative groups began as far back as 2010. Of the victims, a similar thread continues to emerge. These were organizations that educated Americans on the Constitution, Bill of Rights and limited government — a job that, until recently, belonged to our schools. And while President Obama insists that he has “no patience” for this kind of corruption, his record on Benghazi, National Security Agency spying, Drone activity and banksee LETTERS, pg. 8

Okay, it’s been awhile since I’ve had an opportunity to post anything to The Mechanicsville Local, and I’m sorry but I’ll be brief and to the point. It seems the Tea Party’s darling little Teddy Cruz has already stumbled and big. Please go to the link http://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/ headlines/20130819-sen.-tedcruz-vows-to-renounce-hiscanadian-citizenship.ece to see that I’m not making this up. The Dallas morning paper is a conservative media source. This idiot Cruz has already been caught (just like Ken Cuccinelli and Bob McDonnell) in a lie so big that the fans of Honey Boo Boo had to tear themselves away from the TV to see because this is monumental. If you’d simply go to the link, you’d see that Cruz had already been exposed. He’s been exposed in a dual manner. First he says (to the press)
that “He didn’t realize he had a dual citizenship.” A big lie! Okay, how could anyone even put that up in conversation? How could anyone (in the spotlight) think that this sort of comment could be sold to the public (unless that public is so busy watching Honey Boo Boo)? Cruz cannot do any of the quintessential “lawyer-shuffle” by talking around the fact that he is a foreigner. Come on, folks, how many times has someone raised hell because of Obama’s place of birth? How many times has someone screamed that this sitting President of the United States should be impeached because of this? Now here comes this idiot Cruz and immediately he is caught lying. “He didn’t realize he had a dual citizenship.” And, secondly, he’s already been busted by the fact that it got out that he is from Canada. Now I like Canada because I love cold weather. I just think it’s a shame that Canada produced such a liar as Cruz. Cruz is only doing all this to get his campaign ready for the 2016 hat in the ring. Just another opinion . . . just like belly buttons, we all have one! Richard Ryder, Ph.D. Mechanicsville

Gender confusion laws I am extremely concerned that laws similar to those recently passed in California and New Jersey could make their way to Virginia and Hanover County. The laws I am referring to generally extend unreasonable rights to underage children who are confused about their sexual gender. Under these laws, according to several expert sources, a sexually confused boy who desires to participate in a girls sport could not be prohibited from using the same restroom, locker room and showers with the girls on the team. As long as the boy maintained his belief that he was born into the \wrong gender, no one could prevent him from doing so. It is completely ridiculous that this is even a topic of discussion, much less reality in other areas of our country. Where has common sense gone? Where is common decency? Where is the concern for the privacy and safety of the other team members? Just consider for a moment all the sex crimes taking place across this country, state and even here in Hanover County. Why would anyone ever think it is OK for boys and girls to share accommodations? Unbelievable and intolerable.
Enough is enough, Men, fathers, grandfathers, now is the time we must speak out loud and clear on this issue and protect our daughters and sons. This may not be in Virginia yet, but, you rest assured, it’s only a matter of time before it does try to infiltrate our schools. Don’t wait — speak out now; stir up the men and fathers around you; contact your state representative; do something now, I beg of you. Our children and grandchildren’s health and safety are at stake. Trey Woody Mechanicsville
Transparency and efficiency I am writing in regard to the various editorials and letters to the editor regarding the proposed changes to the FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) plan that was supported unanimously by members of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors. As described, the current FOIA rules define that a “meeting of a public body occurs whenever three or more members, or two members if the body is comprised of only three members, assemble for the purpose of discussing public see LETTERS, pg. 15

Local couple’s items reviewed during ‘Antiques’ visit (Editor’s note: The following was submitted by Mechanicsville resident Ellen Lewis.) hen Antiques Roadshow opened up the ticket lottery I tried to get tickets and didn’t get any. Later I realized that they were having a Furniture Round Up so I submitted a picture of the pie safe and it was chosen to be taken to the show for appraisal . My father, Hunter Childress, was an antique dealer during the 1950s through early 1970s. I think this is one of the first pieces he purchased or traded. He was very good at “horse trading” for other items. I came home from school
W
as a child and my iron bed was gone, traded or sold for some special antique . I did get another bed. The pie safe must have meant something special to him for it stayed in my mother’s dining room for 60 years and now it’s in mine. There is writing on the inside dated 1889 and list the contents at the time which were plates, cups, saucers and platters. It was signed Thomas. We feel it is a local piece of furniture and made of Southern yellow pine. There is a twin piece somewhere here in the Mechanicsville area that I saw about 10 years ago at a yard sale. It had the original paint on it. We also took a wagon that
my father made to scale after the Richmond Ice Wagon that delivered ice to the Richmond area. In the early 1950s my parents followed the original horse-drawn wagon around Richmond to make sure he had everything correct. At that time it had been converted into the fish wagon that delivered fresh fish to the Jackson Ward area of Richmond. Not sure if any of my pieces will be shown on the show but Ken Farmer, a Charlottesville auctioneer, was being interviewed by outside media in front of the pie safe. We had a great time there. Richmond is the last stop on their 2013 tour and the new season will start airing in January of 2014 on PBS.

‘Creator Stew Crew’ will sell Brunswick Stew twice this fall Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com The “Creator Stew Crew” of the Episcopal Church of the Creator is preparing for its fall season, with its award-winning Brunswick Stew, which will be available on Oct. 12 and Nov. 23. The stew has been recognized numerous times, including first place wins for traditional stew at the 2011 and 2011 State Fair of Virginia. The “crew” also took first place for “Most Original” stew at the 17th Street Farmers’ Market Brunswick Stew Festival in 2011. This year, the team is dedicating its efforts to the memory of friend and fellow parishioner,
Charlie Woods, who passed away in December. Charlie was a founding member of the “Creator Stew Crew” and he dedicated his energies and the use of his equipment to help produce thousands of quarts of stew every year. He was said to be happiest when he was helping stir the 70-gallon pots with friends. “He always had a big smile on his face even at 3 in the morning when the preparation of our competition stews began,” stew crew member Sheila Hall said. “As we prepare our stews this year, Charlie’s spirit will be in our hearts.” The church will begin taking orders for the see STEW, pg. 17

Sheriff on back to school: student safety top concern
JUNE 21

(Editor’s note: The following was submitted by Col. David R. Hines, sheriff of Hanover County.) Dear parents and students: As the sheriff of Hanover County, it is my honor to write to you at the start of the 2013-2014 school year. You can be assured that the safety of our students remains the chief concern of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office, and we will continue to provide you with outstanding law enforcement service. As students, you are also part of a larger community that extends beyond the walls of your schools. As such, we all must embrace and be accountable for certain responsibilities in our lives. You are responsible for upholding the laws and ordinances of your community, state and country. If there’s a law you believe is outdated, discriminatory or unfair, you can work to change, improve or eliminate it. You can’t simply decide to disobey it. An example of a legal responsibility is driving. Driving is a privilege, not a right. For your safety and the safety of others, you are responsible for your conduct behind the wheel and for following all rules of the road. This includes the newly passed No Texting While Driving law. You are responsible for treating your parents, siblings and other relatives with love and respect, following your parents’ rules, and doing chores
HSHS ’73 class to hold 40th reunion
and duties at home. You are responsible for treating others as you want to be treated, for participating in community activities and decisions, and for being an active, contributing citizen. It’s up to you to become a person of good character. Your parents, teachers, religious leaders and other caring adults will guide you, but only you can determine the kind of person you are and will ultimately become. Get organized, be punctual, and honor your commitments. As the men and women of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office, we are dedicated to working hard to keep your school drug, alcohol and violence free so that you can reach your greatest potential in a safe learning environment. Remember it is your responsibility to report any criminal behavior. If you see something, say something. Tell a teacher, parent, guidance counselor or school resource officer, or report it anonymously. Be respectful of your teachers and those in positions of authority. Take time to listen and learn and ask questions if you don’t understand. Most importantly, be responsible to your community and be all that you can be. It is my pleasure to serve as your sheriff, and I hope you have an outstanding year. I encourage you to strive to be the best, act responsibly, and make sensible choices. Together, we can continue to make Hanover a great community in which to live.

business. [The] resolution proposed that the word “three� be replaced by “a quorum� with the understanding that no governing body can make decisions without a quorum.� When I first learned about the proposed revisions to the FOIA rules I had immediate reservations about them. Personally, I support small, limited government and prefer maximum transparency. So I was concerned that the revisions might reduce transparency and also create situations in which individuals might collude to achieve results that might not be supported by the community. However, having worked in corporate America where we often had “meetings about meetings,� I could relate to the board’s concerns about improving the efficiency of government (thereby saving tax payer dollars).
I voiced my concerns to some associates and even drafted a letter to the editor in opposition to the proposed changes. However, I then paused and gathered additional information. I discussed the subject with both BOS Chairman Canova Peterson and BOS Vice Chairman Sean Davis. In both situations I voiced my concerns about the matter, and the gentlemen shared their reasons for supporting it and also their reservations about the resolution. It’s easy to distrust political figures. But, the beauty of local politics is that you can actually engage in dialogues with your representatives and get to know them as individuals. When it comes to Hanover politics, I do not always agree with the stances the BOS members take on various issues. However, I certainly appreciate the fact that they are willing to discuss issues and explain their opinions, both pro and con. One-on-one conversations are very telling.
In my experience, both Mr. Peterson and Mr. Davis are genuinely concerned both about transparency and efficiency of government. After discussing the issue with them, my “fears� about the revisions eased. I do not feel that the BOS is trying to gain an edge or “pull one over� on the community. I believe that they are genuine in their desire to work more efficiently and effectively for the county. And, I believe that they are being diligent in trying to find the appropriate balance between transparency and efficiency. Deb Wetlaufer Mechanicsville

Most are not really “theories” at all but prescriptions, blueprints for creating the kind of government the “theorist” would like to have. Not surprisingly, the blueprints flatter his intellect and engage his imagination. The “social contract,” for example, is a fraud.

agreement about what they are going to do together. But what is the “social contract” with government? There was never a meeting of the minds. The deal was forced on the public. And now, imagine that you want out. Can you simply “break the contract?” You refuse to pay your taxes and refuse to be bossed around by federal Transportation Security Administration agents and other government employees. How long would it be before you got put in jail? What kind of contract is it that you don’t agree to and can’t get out of? They can dress it up, print out a piece of paper, have
a solemn ceremony in which everyone pretends it is a real contract. But it’s not worth the paper it’s not written on. Also, what kind of a contract allows for one party to unilaterally change the terms of the deal? Congress passes new laws almost every day. The bureaucracy issues new edicts. The tax system is changed. The pound of flesh they got already wasn’t enough; now they want a pound and a half! Here are the critical questions: Why do we let other people tell us what to do? Are we not all equal? What is the purpose of government? What does it cost, and what benefits

— from demolishing and rebuilding porches and reconstructing a roof, to installing drywall, replacing moldy floor and insulation, to painting and even helping the Hurley food bank with its monthly food distribution. “The week just seemed to fly by, and it was amazing to see how much the people appreciated our help,” Ellie Burk said. “I enjoyed working so hard to help other people. I liked the thought that everything I did, was in God’s name.” Earls echoed Burk’s sentiments about the trip: “I think the mission trip was very successful not just because of the work, but also because of how the lives of the families we helped changed throughout the week. Not only were we repairing their homes, but we were also repairing their spirits and reinstalling inspiration in their daily lives. By the end of the week, I think all the participants had acquired skills involving their tools and work, and learned that real problems exist in our own backyard and not just foreign countries. I

County residents express opposition to theater plan

concerns regarding proposed revisions to the current Comprehensive Plan at last Wednesday’s meeting of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors. While voicing no opinion on its adoption either up or down, the sheriff pointed out effects that the plans could have on law enforcement and their ability to cover more areas with current level resources. “As stated on many occasions, I am not expressing any opposition to or support of the changes being proposed to the Comprehensive Plan,� Hines said in a letter presented to supervisors. “Rather, I simply intend to convey to you the impact that growth within the county will have on Sheriff ’s Office manpower, resources and operations.� Hines presented those thoughts in a 10-page overview of current office staffing, future personnel needs and the need for consideration of law enforcement needs in any and all future planning. “I am pleased to present to you tonight our Safety Impact Statement,� Hines told supervisors. “Like many of you, I’ve
received numerous inquiries about the impact of those modifications to the Comprehensive Plan, particularly as it relates to the impact it will have on law enforcement services such as increases in crime, response times and traffic,� the sheriff said. The report cites the increased demands on service levels required by higher density housing, and Hines pointed to local numbers that confirm those facts. The report states that simple population projections would require four additional patrol officers annually to meet the increased calls. While not opposing the plan, the report does address specific concerns identified by the Sheriff ’s Office. “The challenge with the proposed plan as we recognize current support staffing and operation deficit is that it fails to consider the impact of projected growth on public safety services,� the report states. And doing more with less, in Hines’ mind, is simply not an option anymore. “As the Sheriff ’s Office has seen no increase in authorized strength over the last five years, any additional promotion of growth or development will present response and service challenges

to a workforce already operating beyond maximum capacity.� Hines said he values the important partnership that has formed between county government, the citizens and the Sheriff ’s Office. “Together, we are tasked with making thoughtful and responsible decisions that will impact the safety of our community,� Hines said. “While I realize the impact of law enforcement services is one of the many variables in a complex equation that you must consider in advance of these decisions, I submit to you that it is among one of the most critical.� The comprehensive impact study was offered in an effort to provide critical information for future planning decisions. “I hope that by providing you with this information it will play an important part in your decision-making process both now and in the future,� Hines said. Hines emphasized his office is not opposed to growth, just its impact on how his troops perform their duties. “I clearly understand that growth is inevitable,� Hines said. “I simply intend to convey to you the impact that growth within the county will have on the Sheriff ’s Office manpower, resources and operations.�

According to Wetlaufer, all of those attending said they were against the plan, citing concerns about added traffic, potential crime, parking problems and costs to the county in terms of increased demands on law enforcement. Nearby residents expressed concern about the impact to their home values.

the Hanover County Planning Commission. Wetlaufer said that the organizers underscored that they are not against growth. Rather, she said, they are for responsible growth. “We don’t want today’s poor planning to become an issue we can’t fix five or 10 years from now,� she added. Lorraine Plasket of the Cold Harbor District said, “I object to this theater and especially the location, which is the worse imaginable.� An unidentified resident of the South Anna District said, “The county needs revenue. But, why would we invite a business to the county when it’s associated with crime and increases the costs to the county?� Another resident wrote the organizers saying, “I’m contacting my supervisor with a resounding no to this project. More congestion, more strain on an already stretched Sheriff ’s Office. Can you imagine [U.S.] 360 and Lee-Davis Road on a Friday game night?� Wetlaufer said many of those same concerns were addressed in the “Public Safety Impact Statement� released Wednesday to the Hanover County Board of Supervisors as part of the review process for the county’s Comprehensive Plan Update. Col. David R. Hines’ addressed the impact on the Sheriff ’s Office specifically in regard to high-density housing, commercial growth, including the proposed movie theater and outlet mall, and population growth. The report stated, “While the Sheriff ’s Office is not opposed to community growth, we realize the vital need for staffing and resources to be in sync with growth trends and future planning initiatives. Just as planning takes into consideration infrastructure to support roadways, water and sewer, so must
Hines cautioned, “The Sheriff ’s Office would discourage any initiative that would add to the current vehicular congestion at the Lee Davis Road and Mechanicsville Turnpike intersection or limit ease of access to travel corridors for nearby residents.� The sheriff pointed out that a “theater does not promote a one-time event large crowd. Instead, it would require an unending commitment of law enforcement resources to meet the needs associated with large gatherings. Law enforcement must be prepared to respond to large-scale critical events and manage increased service calls when needs arise.� Wetlaufer said that the organizers of Thursday’s meeting emphasized the importance of involvement of residents from all of the districts in Hanover County. “We need to stand together to fight this plan. All of the supervisors will be voting on this plan and the consequences impact everyone. We will all pay for the increased demands on our roads and county services,� the organizers said. “Taxes might go up. Sheriff ’s deputies might be pulled from their patrols in our neighborhoods so that they can patrol high-crime areas like the theater.� She said the organizers have launched a website and Facebook page to help educate the community on this issue. A petition drive also is underway. The Board of Supervisors is expected to vote on the plan for the proposed theater in September.

public safety be considered.� Wetlaufer said the proposed movie theater has a seating capacity of 2,566. Mirroring the citizens’ concerns about crime, the Impact Statement stated, “As with any venue that structurally supports or attracts large groups, an anticipation of increased law enforcement response is expected. Regional theater management has, in most cases, established a general standard that, during weekends and anticipated capacity crowds, off-duty law enforcement officers are hired for extra security. [This] supports the understanding by the theater industry that the propensity for criminal activity and law enforcement response is increased.� It went on to say that the “Sheriff ’s Office staffing could be strained to meet offduty demands.� Unlike most theaters, which are located solidly within commercial areas, Wetlaufer said this proposed theater would back up to a residential area. The sheriff ’s report stated, “Theaters serve as gathering points for large crowds. Regional data shows that there could be an increase in calls for service with the potential to impact nearby neighborhoods and businesses.� Wetlaufer continued by saying that the theater also could put a strain on the county in regard to arrests. The report stated, “[This] location in comparison to regional theater locations is expected to draw non-residential crowds from surrounding regions. Currently, 52 percent of our current adult arrests are of non-residents. This number is anticipated to increase as more transient traffic is expected.� In regard to traffic, the Impact Statement pointed out that five of the top seven most accident-prone intersections are located on Mechanicsville Turnpike in the vicinity of the theater.

Area teams ready for new football landscape transferred from Hanover and McCoy transferred from Glen Allen. “They’re both good quarterbacks,” Johnson said. “We’re fortunate that if something happens to one, the other is right there.” Atlee’s defense returns intact. “We’ve got everybody back,” Johnson said. “We had a freshman, a bunch of sophomores and some juniors last year. They worked real hard in the off-season and they’re picking things up, picking things up like it was last year. They’re bigger, they’re stronger, they’re faster.”
By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Hanover’s four high school football teams begin their season Friday night, and all four teams are beginning their 2013 campaigns in terra incognita – unfamiliar territory. With Virginia High School League realignment, the familiar Capital and Colonial districts, and their championships, no longer mean so much. Faces have changed, too, with two new head coaches and a host of unfamiliar players – and some familiar players playing for different schools. But expectations for success remain high, with three of the teams – Atlee, Hanover and Lee-Davis – all ranked in the top 10 in the Times-Dispatch preseason prep poll. The biggest change affecting Hanover’s teams is the VHSL realignment. The new system, based primarily on enrollment, abolished the old groups, rearranging them into six divisions. Rather than districts, there are now conferences. Atlee (ranked No. 6), LeeDavis (No. 10), and Patrick Henry are all playing at the same level, Division 5, but Patrick Henry is in Conference 16 with Albemarle, Orange and Halifax while Atlee and Lee-Davis are in Conference 11 with Henrico, Highland Springs, Deep Run, Douglas Freeman, Mills

Godwin and Hermitage. With its smaller enrollment, Hanover (No. 8) will be in Division 4, playing in Conference 20 with Caroline, Dinwiddie, J.R. Tucker, Midlothian, Monacan and Glen Allen.

tor, at Hanover; and Jonathan Clark replaced Sam Hart, who stepped down to focus on baseball, as head football coach for the Patriots. Atlee Of the four local teams, the Raiders may have be the main Hanover County team to watch going into the new season. While they lost some key players on their offense – arguably the best in the area last year
– including quarterback Kenner Berry and running back Morris Jackson, they have a lot of experience returning, and experienced transfers coming in. “Offensively we’re going to do what we always do,” Johnson said. “We had to fill in some holes on the offensive line. There were three good offensive linemen that we lost last year, but we’ve got Alan [Eberle] and Nick [Clarke], and we’ve got some young kids who have
stepped it up in practice and look good in practice.” Loumond Dandridge, a backup running back last year, is the only player returning to the Raiders’ backfield. He is battling Lamont Stubbs, a Hanover transfer, for the main running back position. Two more transfers, Travis Barton and Reid McCoy, came to Atlee and began battling in the summer for the job of replacing Berry at quarterback. Barton
Hanover Hawk fans should not expect major changes with Hanover’s new coach. Stoudt was an assistant under Just and plans to run things largely in the same way, with the exception of the huddle. Recently Hanover ran a no-huddle offense, but Stoudt would like to bring it back – not that the Hawks need to take a break between plays. “It’s really to disguise what we’re doing offensively,” Stoudt said. “If you come out with a no-huddle offense, you show your hand right away and the defense is able to adjust right away. … If you come out of a huddle, you put those guys in a huddle and you break off from see FOOTBALL, pg. 33
Atlee takes top spot in meeting of Hanover golfers By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Atlee’s golfers may not have topped the leaderboard, but as a whole they performed well enough to victory the team victory in a match among all four Hanover County teams at Hanover Country Club Wednesday. The Raiders edged Hanover 157 to 160, followed by Patrick Henry at 163 and Lee-Davis at 187. Austin Diehr of LeeDavis and Ward Wilkinson of Hanover were the medalists of the day with a tie score of 1over 36 on the par 35 course. “This year we’ve got some depth, and fortunately today I was able to count on a couple of other players to put some low scores together in some pretty crummy conditions,” said Atlee coach Jamie Edwards. “As rainy and kind of wet this summer has been, we haven’t had to play

the huddle and get to the ball quickly and you’re still running at a pretty good clip, it puts a lot of pressure on the defense because they have less time to react to what they’re doing.” Hanover lost two quality quarterbacks, Sam Rogers and Andrew Knizner, to graduation, and it lost Barton to transfer, but it still has an experienced hand, senior Korbin Bordonie, to run plays. “Korbin Bordonie is really working hard at the quarterback spot,” Stoudt said. “With the style of offense we’re going to run I think he’ll do pretty well with him back there.” Lee-Davis Lee-Davis lost running backs Chris Simpson and DeShaun Rogers to graduation,
a whole lot in rainy weather. So this was a good test for us.” The nine-hole match was plagued by rain before and during the match. While the rainfall took a bit of a break at 3 p.m. before the match was to start, it drizzled intermittently throughout and began to fall more heavily at the end so that the last two groups finished their day pretty soaked. “We kind of all dealt with the same thing today,” Diehr said. “We had a lot of rain fall when we were playing. But it was nice being able to finish without the downpours that the other groups had. Wilkinson said that despite the weather, conditions on the course were pretty good. “The greens were actually pretty fast when it was wet, which is pretty surprising,” Wilkinson said. Diehr said the wet conditions did force them to adjust

gets the call to run the ball. The Confederates also get their top receiver, Austin Rice, back. The Confederates’ defensive line will be solid, too. “Our line is probably our strength, Hayden said. “We get most of our kids back up front that played last year. If they didn’t start, they played a significant role.” But like on offense, questions remain about Lee-Davis’ defensive backfield.

What he brings is proving infectious. “Everything’s progressing,” Clark said. “Everybody’s picking up on the different things we’re doing and the different things that we’ve started holding them accountable for. We’ve had a good core group of about 30 to 40 guys that have bought in since April when I got the job, that have been to all of our off-season practices. Those guys are stepping up to help us as coaches to lead the team. Everything’s coming together.” The biggest change Clark hopes to make with the Patriots is a cultural one. “The last several years we’ve been seen as kind of the doormat for county football,” Clark said. “Our first goal is to get these guys’ attitudes change to belief that they can win.”
to know that. That definitely played an advantage to my game today. I felt I had very good course management and
was able to handle the course and the conditions very well.” Diehr said the course changes every time he plays it. Wilkinson said he is able to adapt to the changing conditions because of his familiarity with the course. “I’ve grown up on this course,” Wilkinson said. “I’ve played when it was wet, I’ve played when it was rainy, so I know pretty much what the conditions were and how I could help out every way I could and then play to my potential.” Edwards said a lot of players like to play when the course is somewhat wet. “When it’s kind of spitting a little bit, the greens get soft,” Edwards said. “Most of [the golfers] I think will say that they like playing in soft or wet conditions, particularly the solid, the good, players because they’ll shoot at the pins.”

King William football gets off to explosive start By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com The Dylan Dehart era at King William began with a bang. The Cavaliers, though they lost quarterback and all-around stud Freeman McPhearson to graduation, showed no evidence of a diminished offense Friday night as they delivered DeHart his first career win as a head coach, trouncing visiting Arcadia 62-19 Friday night. It was also King William’s first Division 2A, Conference 33 win. Under the new Virginia High School League realignment, the Cavaliers are grouped with the Firebirds, Bruton, Maggie Walker Governor’s School, Nandua and Windsor. With McPhearson gone, the Cavaliers turned to Jacob Jones to helm the offense. Jones bore the responsibility well, completing nine of 11 passes for 358 yards and four touchdowns. “I was very pleased with Jacob Jones’, the quarterback’s, play,” DeHart said. “He threw very well.” McPhearson excelled in several positions on both sides of the ball. Dehart did not expect Jones to be the athlete McPhearson was. What he expected – and is getting – is a quarterback with the brains to understand the offense King William runs and the skill to put it in play. “He’s a very intelligent kid,” DeHart said. “He’s a governor’s school student. He’s honor roll, I think National Honor Society, and a heck of an athlete. … He knows the game, knows exactly what everybody’s supposed to do at any given time. He’s a special player.” Jones is also eager. “He was very enthusiastic tonight,” DeHart said. “He was a great team leader tonight.” Jones had plenty of help on

85 yards. King William was not flawless, however. Missed blocking assignments cost them at times – especially on a blocked punt that Arcadia’s Norman Pitts scooped up and returned 80 yards for a touchdown. “We got a couple of block-
ing schemes mixed up,” DeHart said. “That comes with the beginning of the season. We’ve got to get sharper on that. It was nice getting to go live. In practice, we’re not trying to bury our scout team because they’re also our second team. It was nice for them to go out, but it shows the
mistake we make full speed that we need to fix.” Arcadia head coach Tony Nock found a lot his Firebirds needed to fix. He and his coaching staff spent a substantial amount of time talking to the players after the game, then the coaches had something of a meeting before heading to the locker room. While the Firebirds made some big plays, they need to find ways to avoid giving them up. “We gave up big plays, that’s the problem,” Nock said. “You can’t give up the big plays that we did and expect to come back. We were trying to play catch up.”
Nock did not mean to knock King William, however. “They’re good. That’s a good football team,” Nock said. “But we should have been able to play a little better with them.” Nock said he thought the Firebirds might have a chance to beat King William now that McPhearson is no longer around. “He was Mr. Everything here,” Nock said. “What was it? 21-13 and we were still in it. We came back with the block on the field goal for a return for a touchdown and the crowd got quiet – it sounded like church. … Giving up big plays killed us.” The scoring came fast and furious in the first half. The Cavaliers scored in the first minute on a 1-yard run. Spencer Keaton added the PAT to make it 7-0. But Arcadia wasted little time to tie it up on a 12-yard pass from Josh Sanns to Taylor Major. Sanns, doubling as placekicker, added the point after. The next two touchdowns – both for King William – came on passes by Jones. The first was a 62-yard pass to Jamal Johnson. The next was a 33-yard pass to Jackson to make it 21-0. But One the Cavaliers’ next drive, Arcadia blocked a Keaton’s field goal attempt and Pitts ran it back to make it 21-13 at the end of the first quarter. The second quarter was all King William. The first two came on passes by Jones – a 69-yard pass to Jackson and an 83-yard pass to Pendleton. Justin Ortiz followed up with a 20-yard touchdown run, and Peatross scored on a 54-yard run to make it 55-13 at the half. King William added a touchdown in the third quarter on a 27-yard run by Dre Smith. Arcadia got the last score of the night on a 22-yard pass to Dylan Taylor in the fourth.
Yellow Jackets hope to improve on preseason pick By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Randolph-Macon is a preseason pick to finish second in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference in an ODAC coaches’ poll. The problem is that the Yellow Jackets are expected to finish behind rival HampdenSydney. But the vote was close. Both teams received three first-place votes, but HampdenSydney edged Randolph-Macon in points, 42-40. If head coach Pedro Arruza has his way, the vote will not mean much by the time the season ends. He has a lot to feel good about this season. “We’ve got some players back – obviously some guys with good experience,” Arruza said Friday. “We’ve got [running back] Will McGhee back for another year. He had an outstanding year last year. We’ve got our quarterback [Zac Naccarato] back. He’ll be a third-year starter. A lot of guys are back up front.” The Yellow Jackets, who finished second to Washington and Lee in the conference last year with a 7-3, 5-2 ODAC
year at Randolph-Macon, thinks the program has grown to the point of being able to sustain its quality. “I think we’re king of at a point where we’re going to have good players here just about every year,” Arruza said. “What kind of year we’re going to have, it always comes down to the character of your team and your leadership and the chemistry and your toughness.” Last year, the Yellow Jackets appeared a bit shaky at times. Arruza attributes it to chemistry, and this year’s team seems to be much improved. “To me there’s a significant difference between where we’re at this year and where we were last year,” Arruza said. “I haven’t been shy about it. I thought last year we had a very selfish football team. I thought we had a lot of guys that were more conDave Lawrence/The Local cerned about themselves than we were about the team. Randolph-Macon players celebrate in the end zone after a touchdown in a scrimmage against North Carolina Wesleyan on Friday, Aug. 23, at Day Field. The Yellow Jackets are picked to finish “I think that the group of second in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference this season, but head coach Pedro Arruza and guys that we have right now, the rest of the Yellow Jackets would love to overtake the preseason favorite, Hampden-Sydney. they’re a lot more bought-in “We lost a lot of really, really ited so far.

Six offensive starters return this year including Naccarato, who completed 148 of 215 passes for 1,835 yards, 16 touchdowns and four interceptions; and McGhee, who carried the ball 214 times for 1,276 yards and five touchdowns. Randolph-Macon returns seven starters on defense, but Arruza believes their strength will be in the way they play together than with the way individuals play in their specific roles. He said the defensive line is the most experienced of the lot. The Yellow Jackets have made some changes to improve the secondary. He has the most questions about his linebacker corps. “At the linebacker spot, we definitely have a lot of good, young players to work with,” Arruza said. “It’s just a matter of who’s going to emerge, who’s going to be that guy, if that makes any sense.” Arruza thinks the team will continue to develop. “I think it’s going to be a team that gets better and better all season long,” Arruza said. “Those are always fun teams to coach.”
High stakes at RIR as NASCAR returns Strikers Mexico win By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com NASCAR returns to Richmond this week with a lot at stake for the top drivers, including last year’s Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski. Saturday’s Federated Auto Parts 400 at Richmond International Raceway will be the last chance for drivers to qualify for the Chase for the Cup. After a disappointing finish in Atlanta’s AdvoCare 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway Sunday, Keselowski may find
himself out of the running. With drivers like Jeff Gordon on the bubble scrambling for at least a wild card entry to the Chase, fans can expect some aggressive driving at Richmond International Raceway. “I think the intensity definitely ramps up a little bit, especially with all these short tracks right here butting right up here against the Chase,” said Dale Earnhardt Jr. during a testing at RIR two weeks ago. “I think that definitely puts … the tension in the air and makes everybody a bit more nervous. Anything can
happen. It doesn’t have to be you and another Chase guy. You’re out there racing 42 other guys that want to win that race.” The top 10 drivers after the Advocare 500 are Jimmie Johnson (837 points), followed by Clint Bowyer (809), Kevin Harvick (795 points and two wins), Carl Edwards (795 points and one win), AdvoCar 500 winner Kyle Busch (786), Matt Kenseth (768), Earnhardt (750), Joey Logano (729), Greg Biffle (727) and Kurt Busch (719). Even though Jeff Gordon is 11th in point standings with
713 points, Kasey Kahne (709 points) and Martin Truex Jt. (704) would earn wild card bids if the season ended this week because Gordon is winless while Kahne has two victories and Truex has one. (Kahne had been in the top 10 but fell to 12th Sunday after an extended trip to the garage for repairs.) Ryan Newman, currently 14th in Sprint Cup standings with 699 points, Keselowski (691) and Jamie McMurray (680) are also within striking distance of making the Chase in Richmond.
