STOPS AT EVERY HOME IN TOWN

Movie theater permit on hold for now

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

Jim Ridolphi for The Local

Numerous residents expressed their thoughts on posters they waved during the public hearing.

Most Hanover County citizens agree that the county needs a movie theater. Where to locate that complex is the subject of much more controversy.

The Hanover County Board Supervisors also were left scratching their heads following a three-hour public hearing that revealed a large number of residents opposed to the project.

Citing the lack of a traffic study and the numerous objections raised by nearby residents, the supervisors voted to defer

action on the controversial project until that study could be completed and scheduled the matter for their Oct. 23 meeting.

After gaining approval from the Planning Commission, a plan to construct a 12-movie muti-plex theater in the Hanover Village Shopping Center near Brandy Creek Drive in Mechanicsville moved to a public hearing at last Wednesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting.

Citizens packed the supervisors’ meeting room for the opportunity to present their views on the proposed project.

Sulser claims inequity in enrollment figures

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Hanover County School Board member Norman Sulser has his sights set on remedying what he considers an inequity when it comes to enrollment numbers at Hanover County Public Schools.

He was ready last month to suggest a study be conducted to examine capacities at several county schools. That discussion was tabled due to the absence of two board members at the August meeting.

Sulser, who represents the Cold Harbor District, expanded that request at last week’s meet-

ing, moving for a system-wide study of enrollments, physical conditions and capacities.

A preliminary investigation of 2012 numbers reveals that there are discrepancies in the student enrollments and schools that seem — on the surface — the most suited to handle additional students are actually recording

some of their lowest percentage of capacity attendance figures.

Sulser said he thinks it’s time for an examination of current capacities to see if enrollments can be more closely aligned.

Enrollment figures from 2012 reveal that while Hanover High see SULSER, pg. 4

Planning director David Maloney said buffers between the theater building and the adjacent homes is between 160 and 275 feet, with vegetation and a small pond.

Maloney pointed out that many other uses are allowed in the shopping center setting, some of which could impact neighbors more than a movie theatre.

He also noted that the Conditional Use process offers county officials more control of what takes place at the site, see THEATER, pg. 28 Jim Ridolphi for The Local

Youth dairy cattle, dairy goat shows returning to State Fair Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com A full complement of 4-H and FFA animal competitions will be on hand for the State Fair of Virginia with the return of the youth dairy cattle and dairy goat shows.

The dairy events will be held on a portion of The Meadow Event Park south of state Route 30, near the venue’s equine facility, along with all of the other livestock competitions. “We are excited to be bringing the dairy cattle and dairy goat events, along with the other youth livestock events, back to the State Fair,� Edwin Jones, director of Virginia Cooperative Extension, said. “We believe the fair provides a quality experience for the youth exhibitors and a great opportunity for the public to see and learn more about agriculture.�

The 4-H and FFA dairy shows will kick off the youth

animal competitions Sept. 2729. The youth shows for dairy cattle and dairy goats will be open to all Virginia 4-H and FFA members. Open dairy competitions are for anyone who wants to compete.

Winners of the youth shows will receive premiums and scholarships. “This program not only provides scholarship money but also gives the large number of youth who participate invaluable life lessons that accompany raising and showing livestock,� Rachel Kohl, an advanced instructor in Virginia Tech’s Agricultural Technology Program and superintendent of the fair’s dairy goat competitions, said.

The dairy events will join the other 4-H and FFA livestock shows in their new location, which is close to the fair entrance gate and accessible from the midway area via a pedestrian tunnel under state

Route 30. “This is a huge positive, moving the livestock events next to the equine facility,�

Glenn Martin, SFVA livestock and events coordinator, said. “When fair-goers go through the entrance, they will see the livestock tents immediately and will hopefully take the opportunity to start their fair visit there. This is a great chance for the general public to get closer to livestock and horses and ask questions of show participants.�

This year’s State Fair of Virginia will run from Sept. 27 through Oct. 6. Information is available at StateFairVa.org.

The State Fair is held each fall at its permanent home at The Meadow Event Park in Caroline County.

The fair’s mission is to increase agricultural and natural resource awareness and interest through educational programs, exhibitions and competitions in a fun, family-friendly setting.

School operates at 75 percent of capacity, Lee-Davis High School is almost at full capacity with 95 percent enrollment.

Sulser made that motion at the Tuesday, Sept. 10, meeting, tasking the superintendent with conducting an evaluation of facilities within the system.

That will include functional capacity and projected future enrollments.

Superintendent Jamelle Wilson agreed and said the last facilities study was completed in 2007, almost six years ago.

Assistant superintendent David Myers suggested working more closely with the Hanover County Planning Commission and county planners to gauge future enrollments.

“We want to take advantage of all the information that is available to us,” Myers said.

In 2007, School Board members decided that three consecutive years of 120 percent capacity was maximum enrollment.

“We may want to look at that definition,” Wilson said.

She also noted physical versus functional capacity when considering enrollments.

Mechanicsville District representative and vice chair Glenn Millican pointed out that capacity issues consist of much more than functional and physical

A revision to the county’s uniform conditions establishes a maximum pay scale for county employees. Once an employee reaches that maximum salary, no future raises will be granted.

Myers announced a schedule for comprising this year’s school budget calendar.

“As we all know, budget and financial management is a yearround process,” he said.

Formal presentation of the capital and operating budgets will be revealed in January.

“There’s a lot of information that needs to be collected before we have this capital budget,” Myers said.

Millican requested Myers compile the expenditure side of the equation early to allow the public time to discuss and comment on the proposals.

“If we get the expenditures out early, we’ll give the public time to digest the details. We develop the expenditure side, what we assess our needs to be.

The public needs more than a week and a half or two to consider this,” Millican said.

Myers also presented a somewhat final number for this year and those figures reflected see SULSER, pg. 5

a $4 million surplus that was returned to the county.

There could also be a problem when it comes to food services in the county. Cafeteria sales were down again, and Myers said students are not buying the healthy choice items being offered.

“The Healthy Foods program is not working. Students eat what they are familiar with at home,” Millican said.

In another matter, Myers presented an update to the board on the summer maintenance projects, most of which have been completed. With the assistance of new facilities director Ed Buzzelli, 97 percent of principal request were completed and 92 percent of all work orders were completed.

Should elected officials be able to accept gifts?

With the governor and attorney general under a big microscope, the question in the headline is valid.

And, no, they aren’t the first — and, until guidelines change, won’t be the last — officeholders to accept gifts.

But the question remains: Should elected officials be able to accept gifts?

Regardless of how ethical we may consider an individual, no one should want even a hint of scandal attached to their name and office.

Political contributions are a given. It’s expensive to seek office. And the higher you go, the more costly it becomes.

So, what about a nice vacation or a Rolex watch? Do you really think those gifts are acceptable? Doesn’t it reek of the possibility of owing someone something?! Now, that’s not to say an elected official will be influenced by a week at the beach or an expensive piece of jewelry.

The only way to dismiss any questions about favors, etc., is to step away from what may be legal and ethical and graciously say “No thank you.”

Just because the gift is offered doesn’t mean it has to be taken. That way, when election time rolls around, there isn’t a scandal in the making. If you don’t put skeletons in the closet, they can’t be discovered.

Are Bob McDonnell and Ken Cuccinelli the only elected officials to accept gifts? Goodness no. They have, however, found themselves in an unpleasant spotlight. What will this recent hoopla means for their futures?

Only time will tell.

Etc. Admittedly, this writer is a true crime fan. I know — after having written that sentence, it comes off a bit morbid and bizarre.

Anyway, what a surprise it was last week to see our own former sheriff, retired Col. V. Stuart Cook, on “Twisted” on the Investigation Discovery channel. He was supervising the homicide department with the Richmond Police Department when the Briley brothers terrorized the city in 1979.

Col. Cook, as would be expected, handled himself very well before a national audience.

Constitution Week officially got underway on Tuesday and continues through Monday.

This year, according to the Scotchtown Chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution, is the 226th anniversary of the signing of the great document.

Bonnie D. Anderson, Current Events chairman of the local chapter, said the week should emphasize the responsibilities of learning about, protecting, defending, and preserving the Constitution, and studying the historical events that occurred during September 1787.

Anderson also said that the tradition of celebrating the Constitution was started many years ago by the DAR. In 1955, the DAR petitioned the U.S. Congress to set aside Sept. 17-23 annually to be dedicated for the observance of Constitution Week. The resolution was later adopted

by Congress and signed into Public Law #915 on Aug. 2, 1956, by President Dwight E. Eisenhower.

Observance highlights include: 1. Constitution Week, Sept.

ATTENTION HEATING OIL USERS!!

You get your oil furnace serviced every year or two, but you've NEVER had your underground heating oil tank inspected, have you?

Fact: Tanks over 25 years old are probably leaking Fact: Many furnace problems are the result of leaking tanks Do the smart thing and call for a free, no obligation tank inspection.

After all, your tank is nothing more than a buried steel container that will rust, leak, and get into your well or basement. We can access the Virginia Petroleum Storage Tank Fund, which pays for our costs associated with a leaking tank clean-up.

tion had to comply. Hanover County finally complied after much discussion and holding out until they finally realized there were some parents who just wouldn’t give up.

They remodeled a garage at Gandy Elementary School to house this program. Two families began in the program in August of that year and made four trips a day as they did not give us a bus.

Finally, in March of 1977, they gave us the first bus.

When my daughter went in the program she was 10 – could not walk or talk, drinking a bottle and eating baby food.

The godsend to us was Martha Raby, the first teacher in the program.

Her words to me were “Your child will give up the bottle, eating baby food and we will toilet train her.” All I could do was say “Good luck.”

Well, Ms. Raby accomplished those tasks after much hard work. We needed a professional who not only could accomplish such tasks but really cared and was totally dedicated to her job. That was Ms. Raby.

We also had a fine caring principal, Mr. Kelly, as he was totally dedicated to the program and the kids. Now that we had a bus, numerous kids came into the program.

Whenever a teacher today is honored with the Martha Raby Award, consider it a real honor.

She was the foundation of one of the finest handicapped pro-

grams in our state.

Look at our program today and we all say “Praise the Lord for Ms. Raby.”

Our daughters, who were first in the program, Lisa Newton and Denise Fain, not only accomplished more than anyone predicted, they and their parents knew they were truly loved.

Is it a crime to be poor?

I am writing in response to Rick Ryan’s comment in the Aug. 4 Metro section of the Richmond Times-Dispatch concerning the construction of apartment housing in Hanover County.

It is obvious that Mr. Ryan does not want people who do not look like him to move to Hanover, whether they are poor or not. What is his definition of a “different demographic group?”

Mr. Ryan seems to think that all people who choose to live in apartments are poor and out to commit crime. The Sheriff ’s Office in Hanover County receives more calls for service from residential neighborhoods than they do from apartments or townhouses because that is where they want to live, not because they are poor.

Mr. Ryan seems to have a bias against those he considers

“poor.” I do not know Mr. Ryan, but I am sure if we looked at his financial status there are some in Hanover who would consider him poor. He is part of a group of people who, once they move to this county, want to prevent anyone else from moving here as well.

Has Mr. Ryan never had a friend or family member who has lived in an apartment or in a neighborhood that has seen better days?

I do not think anyone chooses to be poor. In life we will get sick, lose our jobs, or at times make wrong decisions. I hope that none of these circumstances happen to Mr. Ryan or anyone he cares about.

I hope he can live in the best part of town, feed his family, pay his taxes, and send his children to the best schools. But life will kick back.

Theater plan stuns reader I am stunned to think that anyone would think that the Lee Davis Road area would be a good site for a theater! They obviously haven’t thought this through!

I live in the Henry District, but I regularly travel on Mechanicsville Turnpike.

We are already eager for the renovations for Mechanicsville Turnpike to happen so that (hopefully) it will relieve some of the congestion on the road.

But, those renovations are years off. So, what do we do in the meantime? A theater is only going to exasperate the situation.

I am also concerned about crime and the impact it will have on that area. Have you been to the Virginia Center Commons theater recently? Do you shop at that mall?

Everyone I know travels to the theater and the Macy’s in Short Pump, even though we

drive right past the closer locations on Route 1.

There’s a lot of talk about this proposed theater bringing jobs to the county and revitalizing the shopping center at Hanover Village. But, what happens if this does just the opposite and drives people away? Increased crime tends to have that effect!

Finally, I have read the sheriff ’s [Col. David R. Hines] statement on the impact of this theater on his department and public safety. The theater will increase the demands on his resources in regard to increased traffic issues and crime.

It’s my understanding that the Sheriff ’s Office has not had a pay raise and has not hired any additional staff since about 2007.

Are we going to raise taxes in order to hire more deputies to keep up with growth and growing crime?

Honestly, if we want to bring new business to the county, why would we bring one that brings crime along with it?!

I am not against development of the site where the proposed theater would go.

However, there are better options that would not have the negative impact a theater will have on our community!

Parent questions school ‘lockout’ I am a single full- time working parent to four children. The oldest three are in Hanover County Public Schools.

I vividly remember, during our middle school orientation last year, the principal asking parents to please not drop students off at school prior to 8 a.m. The doors are not unlocked until that time and parents are asked not to leave their children unsupervised on the sidewalk outside of the school.

Sadly, this year, I now see see LETTERS, pg. 15

why so many parents feel as if they have no other choice but to do just that.

I need to leave for work long before the middle school bus arrives to carry my children to school. I am not comfortable leaving them home alone to lock the house and get themselves to that bus stop alone.

Call me overprotective if you will, but I prefer to say that I am simply a loving mom that wants to make the best choices I can for my family.

My first alternative was to drop the children off with a friend on my way to work — they could catch the bus in that neighborhood and a loving adult would be there to wave them off. The Hanover County Schools Transportation Department denied that request, saying that the bus was too full.

My second alternative was to ask, yet another, sweet friend to bring my children to the

elementary school where she teaches, where they could then catch a bus with other children to the middle school. As of today, that request also was denied

by Hanover County Schools Transportation Department.

Today, I was a full hour late getting to work as I waited for the elementary and middle school buses to arrive and then made my stop to drop my youngest off at daycare.

I am not asking to send my children to a school outside of our district. My children are not behavior problems. I have not attempted to lie or deceive anyone.

In fact, by going through the proper channels, I have probably done more than many parents would do. Yet, as of today, my children do not have transportation to middle school.

Is Hanover County truly running buses this overcrowded that they cannot accommodate situations such as mine?

Can we truly justify transportation to other events, such as the

afterschool Burkwood Aquatic swim practice (not a Hanover County sponsored event) but not meet the basic transportation needs of some of our county students?

Most disturbing to me is that county officials have repeatedly suggested to me that I leave my children home alone to catch the bus themselves.

If we have parents, in this day and age, that actually want to be protective of their children, are Hanover County officials asking them to do otherwise?

descending other references because Cruz has dual citizenship? My father was a dual citizen, born in Poland, naturalized as a U.S. citizen, served 30 years in the U.S. Army and is resting uneasily at Arlington National Cemetery.

I too have dual citizenship as I was born in Germany to U.S. citizens and my parents

were uninformed of specific State Department paperwork required to negate my German citizenship.

So, although I also have advanced degrees, like Dr. Richard, I refuse to assume that I or my father are idiots for not knowing I was a dual citizen for many years.

Service is one facet of the AHG 240-badge program that culminates in the Stars and Stripes Award, AHG’s highest honor.

To earn the Stars and Strips Award, girls must plan, implement and supervise a 100-plushour project to address a need in their community. This highest AHG award is equivalent

to the Boy Scouts of America Eagle Scout Award.

the phrases “innocent until proven guilty” and “presumption of innocence” are not found in the 5th Amendment nor in any part of the Constitution.

These phrases are derived from English law and are part of our system and considered common law today.

4. The U.S. Constitution is the oldest constitution still in active use in the world today and is the basic document of our republic, which protects the individual liberties of all citizens through written law. Did you know that you cannot be denied the right to vote because of race or gender? But remember, the Constitution never clearly ensures the “right to vote.” The 26th Amendment requires that 18-year-olds must be able to vote; however, states may allow persons younger than 18 to vote, if they choose. The qualifications for voters are left to the states as long as they do not conflict with the Constitution.

In some states, felons that are in prison or on probation are denied the right to vote.

5. American colonists fought, sacrificed and died to establish and preserve the freedoms now guaranteed to us by the Constitution of the United States. The right to privacy has come to the public’s attention through various constitutional Supreme Court rulings. Privacy is not specifically mentioned in the Constitution, but, over the years, the Supreme Court has made decisions that have established that the right to privacy

is a basic human right and, as such, is protected by virtue of the 9th Amendment.

6. The phrase “separation of church and state” does not appear anywhere in the Constitution. Thomas Jefferson had written that the 1st Amendment erected a “wall of separation” between the church and state and James Madison said it “drew a line.” The “wall of separation” phrase is frequently thought to mean that government should not involve or establish itself in any religion.

7. Inauguration Day is set in the 20th Amendment.

The Presidential and Vice Presidential terms end, and then the next term begins on January 20th following an election. For Senators and Representatives, it ends and begins on January 3rd following an election. The time between the election and Inauguration Day is known as the Lame Duck period, particularly if the President was not re-elected.

8. Did you know that the only cimre that is defined in the Constitution is treason?

Specifically, it is adhering to or giving comfort to the enemies of the United States. It can only be proven if the accused admits to it in open court or on the testimony of two eyewitnesses.

9. The 12th Amendment states that electors may not vote for a President and Vice President from their state and a Vice President also from their state, but the Constitution doesn’t say that they cannot be from the same state. During the 2000 President campaign, Texas Governor George W. Bush chose

fellow Texas resident Richard Cheney to be his running mate. Cheney changed his legal residence back to Wyoming, where he served in Congress as a Representative, to avoid the possible conflict for electors from Texas. Court challenges to Cheney’s change of residency were denied. Though unlikely, it would be constitutionally possible that two people from the same state could be nominated by a major political party.

10. The Constitution neither prohibits nor encourages that the President and the Vice President be from the same party. They are voted on separately in the Electoral College, so theoretically, the President and Vice President could be from different parties.

11. The Equal Rights Amendment, which reads in part “Equality of rights under

During the month of October,

the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex,” was proposed by the 92nd Congress on March 22, 1972, but was not ratified because not enough states approved it. The main reason that states did not approve it was that the process was already in practice.

Other proposed amendments included the Federal Marriage Amendment, the Balanced Budget Amendment, the Flag Desecration Amendment and the District of Columbia Voting Rights Amendment.

not give the right to have cases heard by a jury of “my” peers.

However, in Article 3, Section 2, the Constitution requires that all criminal trials be heard by a jury and that the 6th Amendment narrows the definition of the jury by requiring it to be “impartial.” Nowhere does it say that a jury of “peers” is guaranteed.

13. The Preamble to the Constitution does not grant or prohibit any particular authority to the federal government. It establishes the fact that the federal government has not authority outside of what follows the

preamble, as amended. “We the people” is one of the most-quoted sectins of the Constitution.

The Preamble states: We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Del. John Cox, R-55, also provided insight on the topic. The program was presented by Kevin Kuhlman, NFIB (National Federation of Independent Business) manager of Legislative Affairs. Sixty small business owners from Hanover County attended. The purpose of the event was to offer those attending information about the changes coming under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. They were informed about complying with the law; which businesses are affected by the employer mandate; what’s required of businesses with fewer than 50 employees; how to handle full-time, part-time and seasonal employees; and what the health insurance tax “HIT” will do to a business.

Advancing planning, preparing for emergencies doesn’t have to be costly Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Within the past two years, many Virginians have been affected by natural disasters, from the historic Mineral earthquake to hurricanes Irene and Sandy, to Tropical Storm Lee to a severe derecho wind storm and also winter storms.

Being ready for emergencies is essential, and there is no better time to prepare than September, which is National Preparedness Month.

“Advance planning for disasters pays off,” said Michael Cline, state coordinator of emergency management. “Those who have taken some time to get their families, homes and businesses ready for emergencies recover more quickly. Also, it doesn’t have to cost a lot or take a lot of time to prepare.”

Families and individuals should plan as though they will be without electricity, water service, access to a supermarket or

other local services for at least three days.

Follow these steps:

Make a plan. This may be the single most important thing you can do, and it’s free. Make sure everyone in your family understands where to go and what to do in case of an emergency. Update your contact information and post it in visible places in your home and workplace.

Get a free emergency plan worksheet at www.ReadyVirginia.gov or download the Ready Virginia app from the App Store and Google Play.

Set aside emergency supplies. Don’t wait for a storm. Buy preparedness items throughout the year instead of all at once.

Shop at sales and used goods stores. Choose the essentials that fit your needs and budget. If you don’t have emergency supplies, September is a good time to get started. Get a list at www.ReadyVirgina.gov.

Store water. You don’t have to buy expensive bottled water. Just make sure

your water containers are disinfected and airtight. Have at least a three-day supply of water on hand – that’s one gallon per person per day.

Check your policy. Take a few minutes to review your insurance policy during National Preparedness Month. Get with your agent to make any necessary changes. Consider adding flood insurance because most policies don’t include it.

Renters can get flood insurance, too. Visit www.floodsmart.gov for more.

Stay informed. Stay aware of changing weather conditions by monitoring local media reports. Get a battery-powered and/ or hand-crank radio with a weather band so you can hear emergency information when the power is out.

To learn more about National Preparedness Month and to join the national community of people and organizations who have pledged to prepare in September, go to www.Ready.gov.

(Editor’s note: The following was submitted by Ellen Thornhill, marketing and communications manager for Goodwill that serves Hampton Roads and Central Virginia.)

Since July 2006, Goodwill has operated a store at 7147 Brandy Run Drive in Mechanicsville. A Goodwill Community Employment Center is connected, with the goal of helping area residents find jobs and businesses get qualified candidates.

Last year, the Mechanicsville CEC served more than 1,500 people and businesses. Every month, an average of 23 people are placed in competitive employment in and around the community.

Goodwill operates 20 job training and career development programs with its Community Employment Centers providing the gateway for job seekers to many of those services.

Anyone who is unemployed or underemployed can visit a Goodwill CEC and get help to create a resume, improve their interviewing skills, develop a career plan, and meet employ-

ers.

Goodwill’s stores provide the majority of the revenue to fund Goodwill’s programs. In addition, the stores provide work experience opportunities and sometimes permanent job placement for Goodwill’s clients. The community’s generous donations, at the Mechanicsville store and at Goodwill’s other attended donation trailers and donation bins in the area, are what enable Goodwill to change lives.

The organization recently has been a topic in social media, including Facebook, emails and blogs. A rumor recently surfaced stating that Goodwill’s CEO earns $2 million per year and that Goodwill is a for-profit organization.

Goodwill would expect these rumors to be upsetting to our shoppers and donors who support our mission. Thankfully, the rumors are not true.

The alleged CEO mentioned in the social media rumors, Mark Curran, is not and has never been an employee of Goodwill – in Central Virginia or at any of the other 164 Goodwill organizations see GOODWILL, pg. 27

Goodwill is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) that strives to generate revenue through its stores and several other business enterprises (document shredding, e-recycling, temporary staffing) to help fund its job training and career development programs. The programs help area residents reach their full potential in the workforce,

Goodwill encourages area residents who have questions about its mission or operation to visit the local Goodwill Web site – www.goodwillvirginia.org – or call Goodwill’s Customer Care Center at 745-6300.

especially when it comes to safety concerns.

Andy Condlin represented Village Partners at the hearing and said this project is more than appropriate.

“This area is already designed for and planned for a shopping center,” Condlin said.

“Most of the traffic is off peak hours. We realize there is a frustration with the current traffic problems but we have proffered improvements.”

“This use is less that the typical retail that could operate there without any restrictions today,” Condlin said.

He also addressed safety

concerns.

“Whatever the sheriff or staff asks, we have to do it,” Condlin said. “It’s in the best interest of this business to have a safe and inviting environment.”

Condlin agreed the Conditional Use Permit allows for more monitoring from county officials and any problems can be addressed and corrected.

“In the end, this is about the appropriate use of a property,” Condlin said.

But many who showed up for the public hearing didn’t agree with those assessments and spoke in vehement opposition to locating the theater near the busy Lee-Davis Road and Mechanicsville Turnpike inter-

section.

And a few spoke in favor of the project, including resident Heather Reichstetter.

“There are several different types of businesses that could go up in the same spot and not be put through the same process that could be built without the county’s input at all,” she said.

She noted the area is zoned for development.

“At some point something is going to go there. By allowing this theater, it gives you a say in how it’s done,” Reichstetter said.

She said attending movies in Hanover will allow county residents to spend their money at home, not in neighboring

Fundraiser to benefit autism community Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com

Jim Ridolphi for The Local

Mechanicsville resident Deb Wetlaufer, left, told the Hanover County Board of Supervisors that no amount of consideration can eradicate the issues involved with the proposed site of a 12-screen movie theater in the Hanover Village Shopping Center. Resident Heather Reichstetter, right, disagreed and said the theater would be a welcome addition to Hanover County and the area.

counties.

“That’s hard earned money that will be kept in our county,” she said. “That’s not a bad thing for our community. It’s controlled growth, an increase in revenue and something to do on a Saturday night.”

Speakers opposed to the project far outweighed the number of people who spoke in favor of the complex.

They cited a familiar list of complaints when it came to traffic, public safety and the impact the new development would have on their lives.

Many were longtime residents of neighboring subdivisions and spoke of frustrating traffic problems already existing in that area.

The opponents came complete with signs, some reading “not here, not now” and other placards warning “Vote this in and we’ll vote you out.”

“I’m not against growth.

I’m not even against a movie theater,” said resident Deb Wetlaufer. “I simply expect responsible growth and that a certain level of due diligence be met.”

Wetlaufer said the project simply doesn’t fit the proposed site.

“I do not believe this is an

appropriate location for a theater, and, talking to any of the affected residents, most feel that anything would be better than a movie theater.” she said.

She was followed by a long line of speakers, most from neighborhoods adjacent to the proposed project, who told of traffic nightmares that exist in that area.

Their concerns did not fall on deaf ears and some supervisors said the traffic issue was just too big an obstacle to overcome, especially with the absence of a traffic study.

Maloney pointed out that a traffic study is not required when the projected peak traffic patterns do not exceed recommended levels established by the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT).

He also noted five access points in the shopping center that would potentially house the movie complex.

South Anna District supervisor Wayne Hazzard said he still wasn’t convinced that the increased traffic would not present a major concern to an already congested area.

He noted that the problem with the theater traffic is that all of it arrives and leaves at one time.

Casino Night, with proceeds benefitting the autism community, will be presented from 7:30 to 11 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 21, at the Center of the Universe Brewing Company at 11293 Air Park Road in Ashland.

Tickets are $25 per person.

The event will feature casino games, a silent auction and giveaways.

A limited number of tickets are available.

To reserve tickets, or for more information, go to www.autismgrant.org.

Half of the proceeds will support a local scholarship fund, The Autism Grant, and the other half will support the national charity, Autism Speaks.

The Autism Grant is a tuition scholarship for financially disadvantaged children with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Early diagnosis and treatment between the ages of 2 to 5 is crucial to making a long-term impact on a child’s ability to achieve his or her full potential. The Autism Grant provides tuition scholarships to The Dominion School for Autism, a 501(c)(3) public charity and a program of the Commonwealth Autism Service.

Revised Comprehensive Plan approved by 4-3 vote

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local This year’s Comprehensive Plan process was an arduous task that involved numerous community meetings extended Planning Commission consideration and expanded community involvement.

Bringing that process to an end was scheduled for consideration at last week’s regular meeting of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors.

The final plan reflected recent input obtained at a public

hearing, workshop and community meetings reducing density guidelines in three major areas of concern.

It also reduced the number of multi-use designated areas and established new figures for commercial/residential mix in those areas. The target now is a 65-35 percent mix.

The Comprehensive Plan was last updated in 2007 and the Suburban Service Area was increased in that time. The plan presented by the Planning Commission opened even more

areas for economic development and multi-use activities.

That proposal drew large opposition from residents affected by what they saw as the possibility of multi-unit housing in their areas.

The latest plan tweaked those areas and lowered density to one to two units per acre in the Hylas, U.S. 1 and U.S. 33 corridors.

The following changes will be sent to the Planning Commission for further consideration:

Active Adults With Targeted Local Advertising

• A planned business designation between U.S. 33 and Greenwood Wood west of Winns Church road.

• A suburban high designation on the west line of Bell Creek Road south of Pole Green Road.

• A planned business designation on both sides of Cedar Lane west of U.S. 1 and both sides of Lakeridge Parkway south of Lickinghole Creek.

• A proposed pump station located between Interstate 95 and the CSX rail line north of the Town of Ashland.

“So, with this alternative plan, there are no multi-use jurisdictions in the South Anna District?” South Anna District supervisor Wayne Hazzard asked.

Maloney answered no.

Henry District supervisor and vice chair Sean Davis questioned the reasoning behind changing the plan just for the sake of change, and noted many of the aspects of the 2007 plan have not been utilized and provide good growth management plans.

“Multi-use has almost become a four-letter word in Hanover County in the past couple of weeks,” Davis said.

“My largest concern is that I don’t have a reason to vote for change now. What could we accomplish with the new plan that we couldn’t accomplish with the current plan?” he

asked before voting no on the revisions.

Beaverdam District supervisor Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley said he had voted for Comprehensive Plans in the past, but he couldn’t support this year’s edition.

“That was before I realized the ramifications of what could come out of a Comprehensive Plan,” Stanley offered as a lighthearted explanation of his previous approvals.

“What really concerns me is the multi-use designation,” Stanley said. “I think there’s going to be more growth in the future if you allow this type of development.”

Cold Harbor District supervisor Elton Wade joined the opposition with the third vote, but the revised plan was

approved by a 4-3 margin.

“A lot of work has gone into this update,” Ashland District supervisor Ed Via said as he made the motion for approval.

Mechanicsville District supervisor and chair Canova Peterson, Chickahominy District supervisor Angela Kelly-Wiecek and Hazzard joined Via in approving the amended plan.

Dr. Jamelle Wilson, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools, told the supervisors that schools are open and “committed to excellence” and will insist on system-wide accountability throughout the division.

Wilson presented an update on the school opening in Hanover and provided a progress report on numerous construction projects that were completed over the summer.

She said an opening day tour of all campuses revealed smiling faces and happy students as they realized the improvements made to their campuses over the summer.

“The visual impact was palpable as we visited schools that first week. Our students and staff loved what we did,” Wilson said.

More than 2,000 work orders were completed over the summer break.

“It’s not just a small thing.

It’s made a huge difference,” Wilson said.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Someone puts all of their faith in you this week, Cancer. Don’t be nervous about living up to their expectations. Just operate the way you always do and things will work out.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, sometimes you put blinders on to situations that make you uncomfortable. It is your way of coping. But this week you need to keep your eyes wide open.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Others view you in an entirely different light than you view yourself, Taurus. Consider their perspectives and keep an open mind. It might just help you grow as a person.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, a number of things keep you occupied this week. The only difficulty will be narrowing down exactly what you want to do. Give this decision the attention it deserves.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, you do not have the patience for puzzles this week. Encourage coworkers and family members to be as concise as possible when declaring their intentions.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Many ideas are running through your head, Gemini. But you have to stick with one idea and go with it.

Though this may seem like trying to find a needle in a haystack, the focus will pay off.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, no matter how many times you voice your opinion, there seems to be one person who just doesn’t seem to catch on to your line of thinking. Accept such differences of opinion.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, this week you will have to do a number of things on your own. Make the most of this situation, as it might just prove to be a good test of character.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 A change of scenery could provide the change in perspective you need right now, Capricorn. The trouble is finding the right time to get away.

Plan a weekend trip if you can manage it.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, even though you may not relish the role, you often have to be the voice of reason. Express yourself clearly but take others’ ideas into consideration as well.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Channel all of your creative ideas into one big project, Pisces. Once you have taken that initiative, the project will take off.

Lee-Davis sweeps Patriots in girls volleyball match

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Lee-Davis’ girls’ volleyball team came out a little flat against visiting Patrick Henry Wednesday night.

They were flat-footed and flat emotionally, and – while they won the first two games of the match – they did not look terribly dominant.

That changed in the third game and final game, however, as a recharged Confederate attack tore through the Patriots’ defense, enabling Lee-Davis to sweep the night with a 25-19, 25-22, 24-7 victory.

The girls weren’t the only ones feeling flat – even LeeDavis coach Sharon Gaston admitted feeling that way at the start of the match. That does not mean the girls on either team failed to put forth any effort.

“They played hard. Patrick Henry played hard,” Gaston said. “We were a little bit on our heels in those [first] two games, but then that came around in the third set, which shows in the score.”

The Patriots (2-2) held their

down two. We’ve got to get over that,” said Patrick Henry coach Billy Farmer. “I don’t know if we ran out of steam. But when you get down two games, real close games, you get frustrated.

If we had won one of those two games, I think it would have been a little bit different.”

But he was pleased with the Patriots’ performance.

“We played great,” Farmer said. “That’s what I told them, ‘We played great. Keep it up!’”

Gaston said the Patriots were no pushover.

“Patrick Henry did not give up,” Gaston said. “They had a couple of girls that played real well – hit some good angles – and their setter did a good job of getting the ball up to their hitters.”

She said the Patriots were responsible for the appearance of sloppy play by the Confederates in the first two games.

Atlee’s boys volleyball team downs Eagles

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Atlee stumbled going into its boys’ volleyball match against visiting Mills Godwin Wednesday, but the Raiders found their stride and won three straight games to claim a 18-25, 25-20, 25-20, 25-15, 2516 victory over the Eagles.

The two teams scrapped all night long, with the advantage rarely clear until the final points.

Atlee coach Nick Robinson said some of Atlee’s early trouble was youth and inexperience.

36

“We’re starting three sophomores, so I think that’s part of the first game,” Robinson said.

“Shellshock a little bit – every game that we’ve started this year has been slow-going, I think just because lack of experience playing with each other. We have no returning starters from last year. I think it takes us a little while to get warmed up. … But our sophomores played well in the end.”

Youth was a problem for Mills Godwin, too.

“We have moments of what I will call ‘being young,’ ” said Mills Godwin coach Whitney

Di Frischia. “We are quite young. We’re unsure of what the rest of us can do, so we start to question each other. It can’t happen, but it does.”

Still, once both teams got warmed up, they generated a lot of action. The teams seemed fairly evenly matched, and a number of points were decided on the basis of hotly contested, yet sustained volleys.

In time, though the ability to adapt – or lack thereof – caught up with the Eagles.

“They made adjustments, we made errors,” Di Frischia said. “That was the second set.

Then we just couldn’t come back from it.”

Atlee made quite a few adjustments.

“We made a few adjustments going into the second game, moving different people around getting them playing different positions,” Robinson said. “Our middles in the first game were not our middles in the second game. We moved some bigger guys in to shut down their middle, who was Dave Lawrence/The Local definitely their best and stronAtlee’s Jeremy Eye fires a shot Mills Godwin defenders Thomas gest player in game one, so I Wood (11) and Spencer West (10) find hard to handle in the see ATLEE, pg. 37

Hanover’s 2013 state championship baseball team got to celebrate its achievement again after the members were awarded their state championship rings Friday during a halftime ceremony during the J.R. Tucker-Hanover football game.

Hawks get championship rings

By Line sports@mechlocal.com The most coveted prize in high school sports is a state championship ring. Friday.

Hanover’s 2013 state champion baseball team finally got theirs – during halftime of the Hawks’ football game against J.R. Tucker.

Hanover defeated Great Bridge 2-1 in the state championship game in June with a pair of sixth-inning runs.

HANOVER Continued from pg. 35

haps his best drive of the night, leading the Hawks on an 11play, 80-yard march that culminated in a 1-yard touchdown run for Birden with just 30 seconds left in the half. Hanover would take the 14-7 lead into the locker room.

The Hawks would extend their lead with three seconds remaining in the third quarter when running back Brooks Combs capped a nine-play, 40yard drive with a 4-yard touchdown run up the middle make

Chris Gilliam delivered an RBI single to tie the game.

Cayman Richardson bunted in Trevor Denton for the goahead run.

Ace pitcher Derek Casey went six innings, allowing one run while striking out 10 hitters. Casey, a University of Virginia recruit, pitched in every game of the state tournament including a complete game shutout in the quarterfinals against Kellam and a save in the semifinal against

Oakton.

The Hawks played under the motto “play hard, smart, and together.” The rings the team received represent that accomplishment.

“To me the ring symbolizes all the time and effort the team has put into the program. Looking at the ring reminds me of all the hard work we did when we weren’t on the field playing a game,” Casey said. “We all became one big family.”

it 21-7.

Hanover’s defense would continue to play strong throughout the second half, forcing consecutive three-and-outs to open the half and allowing just one first down over the final two quarters.

The Hawks final score would come on Birden’s second touchdown of the night, a 1-yard run on fourth-and-goal with 1:53 left in the game to increase the lead to 27-7 and remove any remaining doubt about the final outcome.

“Our team grew today. I’m going to hold final judgment

about the game until I watch the film, but there were certainly many positives to take away,” Stoudt said. “I do know that we need to get better at being disciplined, getting less penalties.”

The win moves Hanover to 2-0 on the young season. J.R. Tucker drops to 0-3 with the loss.

it’s not predictable and it’s hard to play clean on your side. …

You have to follow the ball.”

She said the first two games prepared them better for the third, though.

“We started moving a little bit more and seeing what they would bring to us,” Gaston said.

“We could anticipate a little bit better after we got a feel for the game.”

Lee-Davis was led by Brooke Bowman with five kills and four digs; Miranda Norvell with seven digs; Chelsea Matthews

with seven kills and two blocks; and Rianna Riccardi with 12 digs and two aces.
