fter more than 20 years of coaching and teaching cheerleading, Virginia Baldwin has found a new way to use her skills: mission work.

This summer, a group of Baldwin’s local students, including Nicole Balducci, Caroline Richardson, August Seelmann and Savannah Baldwin, all of Hanover High School, traveled with her to Belize to provide cheerleading camps for underprivileged girls. “I was invited to go and it changed my life,� Baldwin said, explaining that her first trip was last summer. “I showed a slide show to my cheerleaders and they said they wanted to go. They said, ‘We want to do that with you, coach.’ �

The organization Baldwin works with is called Kids

Hanover Fire-EMS Department reminds about kitchen fire risks Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com It’s Fire Safety Week, and until Oct. 12, the Hanover Fire-EMS Department is joining forces with National Fire Protection Association to remind local residents to prevent kitchen fires.

During this year’s fire safety campaign, fire departments will be spreading the word about the dangers of kitchen fires – most of which result from unattended cooking – and teaching local residents how to prevent kitchen fires from starting in the first place.

According to the latest National Fire Prevention Association research, cooking is the leading cause of home fires.

Two of every five home fires begin in the kitchen – more

than any other place in the home. Cooking fires are also the leading cause of home firerelated injuries.

“Often when we’re called to a fire that started in the kitchen, the residents tell us that they only left the kitchen for a few minutes,” Fire-EMS Chief Jethro Piland said. “Sadly, that’s all it takes for a dangerous fire to start. We hope that Fire Prevention Week will help us reach folks in the community before they’ve suffered a damaging lesson.”

Among the safety tips that firefighters and safety advocates will be emphasizing are: Stay in the kitchen when you are frying, grilling, broiling or boiling food.

If you must leave the room, even for a short period of time, turn off the stove.

When you are simmering, baking or roasting food, check it regularly, stay in the home and use a timer to remind you.

If you have young children, use the stove’s back burners whenever possible. Keep children and pets at least three feet away from the stove.

When you cook, wear clothing with tight-fitting sleeves.

Keep potholders, oven mitts, wooden utensils, paper and plastic bags, towels and anything else that can burn away from your stovetop.

Clean up food and grease from burners and stovetops.

Fire Prevention Week is actively supported by fire departments across the country.

Fire Prevention Week is the longest running public health and safety observance on recond.

BELIZE Continued from pg. 1

On Baldwin’s two trips to Belize she has worked with a day camp program that separates boys and girls, offering them physical activity and life lessons.

Last year, girls in the program did cheerleading and volleyball.

The cheerleading program was so popular, Baldwin said, that she was invited back to lead a cheer-only camp.

Building self-confidence The program offers much more than just routines and tumbling tricks, Baldwin said.

“Girls in Belize are considered second class citizens – most of the energy is put toward the boys,” Baldwin said.

Having a chance to be around just girls -- and to be taught to stand up straight, smile and perform -- is very special to the campers, she added.

“It was such a huge positive influence in their lives,” Baldwin said. “We taught them, ‘You’re special, you have worth, you’re a treasure.’ We taught them to be proud of who they are. Cheerleading is such an easy avenue to teach self-esteem.

It really does teach poise and self-confidence.”

Baldwin’s teen helpers made flyers by hand with crayons to advertise the camp, then walked around town handing them out.

Each day of the camp, Baldwin said, attendance grew, topping 100 girls by the end.

Campers also got food and special

Hanover Humane yard sale Oct. 19 Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com The Hanover Humane Society will hold a yard sale from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, Oct. 19 at its facility at 12190 Washington Highway.

The sale will feature a variety of items for the home, electronics, clothing, lawn furniture and more, as well as books and children’s toys.

Only cash will be accepted

gifts, including t-shirts from Top Notch Cheer in Ashland.

All year long, the local cheerleaders collected donations and hair bows to take with them to Belize. Every single participant got a bow, Baldwin said.

“That may not seem like a big deal to you, but our first year we all wore ribbons in our hair. The Belizean children wanted ribbons and I didn’t have enough,” Baldwin said. Rather than disappoint the campers, Baldwin cut a bed sheet into makeshift ribbons. “The girls were so happy. It just humbled me. I knew that when I came back I was going to bring them real bows.”

“The girls wrote letters to go with the bows,” Baldwin said. “The little letters would say, ‘You’re going to be a great cheerleader,’ or ‘I wore this bow in my first competition.’ It was just precious.”

This year, Baldwin got to see the fruits of last year’s labor. One camper, a girl named Zinnia, in whom Baldwin saw a particular spark in, returned to camp with a good report card and more good news. Thanks to the missionaries’ encouragement, she had decided to go to high school, which is optional and expensive in Belize.

Zinnia also reported that she had won a scholarship from the missionaries to offset the expense.

Life lessons In their free time, Baldwin’s teen helpers went out into the community, played with the kids and saw their living conditions. What they saw hit home, Baldwin said. Nightly debriefing sessions included

lots of tears and reflection.

“The reality of these kids being happy and content in a Third World country was a life lesson that they will never forget,” Baldwin said. “At the end of the day, it’s not what you have that makes you happy. Even though they didn’t have anything, these kids were happy and they were content. It changes your perspective, what you think about needs versus wants.”

The high schoolers agreed.

“You never realize all of the things you take for granted until you see for yourself the way those children are living. It was a completely life-changing experience,” Balducci, a senior, said.

“I went to Belize hoping for a better relationship with God but I got even more,” Seelman, a junior said. “Now I have a better relationship with God and some amazing relationships with the sweet little girls in Belize. It was a huge eye-opener and changed my life forever.”

Savannah Baldwin, a freshman and Virginia’s daughter, said, “A piece of my heart will always be in Belize.”

“I went to Belize thinking I would change the lives of the kids there, but -- as I fell in love with them -- my life was forever changed,” Richardson, a senior, said.

The girls said they remain closely bonded by their shared experience.

“Our slogan was ‘Be the change you want to see in the world,’ ” Baldwin said.

“Now when I see them I’m like, ‘Be the change, girl!’ ” Baldwin said she plans to return next year, bringing local girls along. The group will conduct fundraisers throughout the year to pay expenses.

ocal youngsters took home pageant and band titles during the State Fair of Virginia, held Sept. 27 through Oct. 6 in Caroline County.

Audrey Kate Taylor of Hanover County was named Miss State Fair of Virginia Preteen. Emily Fleming, also of Hanover, was named Miss State Fair of Virginia Princess. The pageant awarded more than $1,000 in scholarship funds.

The titleholders’ first public appearance was the Sept. 28 State Fair of Virginia Parade.

Both the pageant and the parade are former fair traditions that have been revived this year by Virginia Farm Bureau Federation.

It was during the parade that the Marching Cavaliers of King William High School captured the State Fair of Virginia Marching Band Championship Cup, edging out the bands from Charles City High School and Hopewell High School.

“The Marching Cavaliers most definitely came to win,” said Greg Hicks, the fair’s vice president of communications.

“All three bands were impressive, and we were proud to have them in the State Fair Parade.

The Championship Cup is a traveling award that will be presented each fall, and we hope to have an even broader field of competitors in the 2014 fair parade.”

More information about the State Fair is available at StateFairVa.org.

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

OPINION | The Local Views Contributing columnist

Newspapers still play a big part in our daily lives From as far back as I can remember, I’ve been a news nerd. Not the kind of person who can, at any given moment, expound on the political tensions in the Middle East or drill down into the minutia of U.S. foreign policy, but rather someone who loves the entire process of gathering, packaging and distributing news.

I have always found it fascinating to observe the role that newspapers have played—and still continue to play—in shaping our world.

I know what you might be saying: Aren’t newspapers on the decline?

Hasn’t the Internet pushed journalism to the sidelines, turned it into an alsoran in the campaign to win the public’s attention?

No one would deny that the way we consume news has changed. But if you are looking to see the role newspapers still play in our lives, all you need to do is visit the website of the Newseum (www.newseum.org), the museum of news in Washington, D.C., where you will find a gallery of the front pages of hundreds of daily papers from around the world.

There, in over a dozen languages, is the answer to the question of whether newspapers still matter.

Newspapers, after all, are more than simply facts on a page documenting a given day or week. They capture and celebrate our lives and what we think truly matters, from the international stage to the community level. Simply put, they are us.

As we celebrate National Newspaper Week, I’d like to share some thoughts on a few other things a newspaper does (and doesn’t do).

A newspaper will not tell you what to think. It will give you the facts so that you can make up your own mind.

A newspaper will not tell you who you are. It will shine a light on the world around you, and help you see how you fit into that picture.

A newspaper will not change the world. But generations of people, armed with the information and insights provided by newspapers, have gone on to do just that.

If you happen to be reading this right now, we want to thank you for participating in a process that has helped keep leaders honest, citizens informed and scrapbooks filled since the very first journalist put pen to paper.

We appreciate the trust you place in us, and we look forward to being a part of your world for years to come.

and the Planning Commission may or may not recommend a CUP or may impose conditions if it finds that the proposed use will adversely affect existing or anticipated uses in the immediate neighborhood, or will adversely affect the surrounding properties.”

Does the CUP for the proposed theater mitigate the concerns of the residents? As zoned, a strip mall, office park, gas station or even a box store could be built on the site. Many of these uses would not require a conditional use permit. Residents find those uses preferable to a theater. In a meeting with residents, Board Chairman Canova Peterson indicated that he saw no reason to oppose the project because the applicant had “done everything we’d asked.” The residents presented a list of almost 25 questions that had not been asked. Hanover residents adopted the slogan “Not Here, Not Now” because of our concerns.

The Hanover County Sheriff’s “Public Safety Impact Statement” stated, “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.” A pending traffic study may shed more light on this issue. But, a theater is unlikely to improve the situation! Businesses take heed: will increased crime and traffic congestion cause people to avoid the shopping center?

The fact that most theaters have professional, off-duty law enforcement speaks volumes: We are inviting into our community a business known to be associated with higher levels of crime! As written, the CUP vaguely states that the theater will have a safety plan. Perhaps we should at least start with the safety plan being used by other nearby theaters.

Dr. Dillard was discovering ways to make sure a severe concussion never kept him from being a kid.

Even big kids are curious. At Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU, so are our doctors. It’s that curiosity that led Dr. Chad Dillard and his team to develop a comprehensive concussion clinic — and for VCU to receive a $62 million federal grant to oversee a national research study on brain injury and concussion. Orion suffered a concussion during football practice, but by following a plan of physical therapy, cognitive rest and regular clinic visits, he was back in game-shape in time for baseball tryouts. One more way we’re discovering the best care for kids.

A 116 Year Tradition of Caring

8014 Lee-Davis Road, Mechanicsville • 746-8665 www.bennettfuneralhomes.com Bennett Funeral Home was established in 1897 to serve the needs of Richmond families. Since then, this locally owned and operated business has continued to serve the community with its unique combination of caring and convenience.

This tradition of excellence can be seen in the four beautiful chapels located throughout the Richmond area: centrally located on Cutshaw Avenue in the city, on Broad Street Road past Innsbrook, on Ashbrook Parkway in Chesterfield and serving the Hanover-Mechanicsville area on Lee-Davis Road. All four facilities are under the personal direction of Charles D. Morehead, President.

In a time of need, you can turn to Bennett Funeral Home with trust and confidence. It serves families of all faiths with personal service, before, during, and after. There is a long tradition of professionalism and caring.

One way in which Bennett cares for families is by offering a convenient and personalized pre-need program. Through this program of pre-need planning, you can spare your loved ones the burden of making decisions at an emotional time.

Call Bennett Funeral Home at 746-8665 to schedule a pre-planning consultation.

The CUP limits movie start times to 12:15 a.m. for weekends and premier events. Exiting through the neighborhood will be the path of least resistance since a left-out exit onto Brandy Creek Drive cannot prevent Uturns or drivers from circling back through the parking lot of the strip mall. Nearby residents can anticipate a steady stream of traffic through their neighborhood at all hours of the night. A day care, retail store and even a gas station would be preferable!

Sheriff Hines’ “Public Safety Impact Statement” speaks to anticipated increases in law enforcement calls for service, need for off-duty deputies to provide security, crime spilling over into the adjacent residential area and an increase in arrests and increased traffic congestion.

Also, the Sheriff’s Office has to be prepared to deal with a largescale incident. Furthermore, the Impact Statement underscores that this is an ongoing increase in demands on the Sheriff’s Office.

The CUP does nothing to offset the increased demands for law enforcement resources. We might expect that the County’s Fire and EMS would have similar concerns.

In conclusion, a Conditional Use Permit might be helpful in

some cases. However, theaters are recognized as a business type associated with higher crime rates, and the property is located adjacent to a residential community and has inadequate road infrastructure which is not scheduled for renovations for several years. In the end, there may be little that the Board can do to mitigate detrimental effects of this theater on the community.

The Board of Supervisors is expected to vote on the plan for the proposed theater on October 23. To learn more or to volunteer with the project, visit hanoverliving.org and www.facebook. com/MechanicsvilleTheater. You can also contact us at mcvilletheater@gmail.com.

Bob McDonnell for taking lawful gifts from someone who no evidence has been found to have been given favors in return.

And then the paper wants to harass the great Christian conservative E.W. Jackson, who is running for lieutenant governor, for not reporting on time lawful gifts given to his campaign. A mere technicality but blown up by the liberal press in order to hurt conservatives while ignoring the enormously destructive and lawless actions of the liberal Democrats.

I say to the liberal press, “How about writing stories about the racist Attorney General Eric Holder who is still harassing George Zimmerman who was totally acquitted of any crime but who refuses to prosecute the Black Panthers for intimidating white voters in Philadelphia?” Is that not blatant racism? Do you think that’s more important than E.W. Jackson not reporting a lawful gift on time?

We see Barack Obama labeling the many scandals in his administration as “phony scandals.” The truth of the matter is that the only thing phony in this situation is Obama’s presidency.

There was so much cheating and underhandedness in this last election that Obama should never have won. The press was totally biased and crooked and the Internal Revenue Service directed

by Obama and his thugs harassed and crippled the TEA Party and other conservative opposition so much so that Obama had smooth sailing to another illegitimate and phony election win.

And now the same liberal, lying, cheating press that gave us Obama is trying to coronate Hillary Clinton as the next President after Obama. And if the Republicans nominate another R.I.N.O. like John McCain or Mitt Romney, Hillary will probably win.

We need a true fighting conservative like Sarah Palin or Sen.

Act, the Military Commissions Act, and the NDAA. September 11 justifies the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) and U.S. Northern Command (USNORTHCOM).

September 11 is the excuse given for launching deadly drone attacks against all kinds of people in Pakistan, Yemen, Libya, etc.

And now, September 11 is the excuse for a brand new military action against Syria.

Police can break down the door of your house without a warrant because of September 11; police can set up checkpoints on America’s highways because of September 11; you and I can be indefinitely incarcerated without being told why and without being allowed legal counsel because of September 11; Americans can be sent off to prison — even foreign prisons — without benefit of a trial because of September 11; American citizens can even be killed by government agents without being charged with a crime because of September 11; entire cities (such as Boston) can be thrust into martial law because of September 11.

All of our electronic correspondence, phone calls and financial activity can be monitored by the feds because of September 11.

The list is endless.

September 11 was a tyrant’s dream.

The America that honored the Constitution, that believed in the Bill of Rights, that revered the Declaration of Independence, that believed in state sovereignty, that believed in personal liberty and limited government died on September 11, 2001.

What we have left is nothing but a burgeoning police state.

My heart is heavy.

September 11 is the excuse for Leslie Zodun every big government abridgeMechanicsville ment of liberty that has taken place over the last 12 years.

September 11 was the justification for the invasion of Iraq and Afghanistan; it was the justification for passing the Patriot Obama got and did what

he really wanted: to destroy the U.S.A. He has done a great job.

Let’s call it for what it is: Obama is a Muslim extremist and a communist. His goal as President was to bring this nations on its knees and we Americans let him do it.

It is what it is: The Democrats have a lot to answer to the rest of us.

This country is on the fast track to being just another country in the world — no super power, just average.

You can disagree with me

President Obama opened his mouth and put both feet in it. This man just can’t shut up long enough to see reality. see LETTERS, pg. 14

Ted Cruz of Texas if we have any hope of winning.

Hillary Clinton was a totally incompetent Secretary of State whose main focus was changing her hairdo every few months and who stood by callously and unconcerned while four of our brave diplomats under her employ were brutally murdered in Benghazi. Before that she served unproductively as the carpetbagger senator from New York, casting votes for the radical agenda of the Left.

This is the person the press wants to put in after Obama.

Certainly she would be a close second to Obama for the title of the worst President in our history!

However, there is no guarantee that God will even let us get to 2016. He may become so fed-up with the immorality and lawlessness that is now rampant in our country as he saw in the time of Sodom and Gorrah that He may bring destruction on the world and bring back the Lord Jesus Christ.

It must bring great pain to the heart of God to see the millions of innocent babies murdered by abortion and to see the sacredness of marriage between one man and one woman, which he instituted and blessed, be trampled on by this President or see the immoral, sinful and unnatural practice of homosexuality be sanctioned by this President.

Maybe our only hope is that Jesus comes back before Obama does any more damage or Hillary begins her reign of terror!

Political impact on the nation The actions of Democrats and Republicans are leading to the destruction of America.

Liberal dysfunctional thought

unopposed by conservative principles pushes us ever closer to economic collapse.

The entitlement mentality continues unchecked with massive uncontrolled spending.

ObamaCare needs to be defunded, but the Republicans refuse to act. Once this monstrosity is fully in place it will never be removed.

Government control will end high quality health care and its supporting industries. The private sector and free enterprise are the underpinnings of our economic system.

Government produces nothing, hampers private sector efficiency, takes from those who produce, and squanders the money on grand schemes, hoping to create the mythical utopia of heaven on earth.

to greater use of government services and crime. The borders are unprotected and will remain so if this bill is passed.

President Reagan signed an amnesty bill for millions of illegal aliens with the promise of border control, which never materialized. Will it take a horrendous terrorist attack within our borders to get action? I fear it will. A major city will be poisoned, bombed, vaporized or infected while our government collects our healthcare, financial and communication records.

The Mexican constitution makes it illegal for non-citizens to act out politically. Our legislators should take time to read it as it offers numerous examples on how to handle illegal aliens and control the borders.

Congress has unconstitutionally delegated its authority to bureaucrats.

The fourth branch of government promulgates rules and regulations at a frightening rate without the consent of the people.

It is time to reverse the growth of the federal government, its control over our lives and its negative impact on business and job opportunities.

Bus driver thanks cooperative commuters On behalf of the students and their parents, I commend you for your safety conscious attitudes, your alertness, your patience and understanding; and your general kindness every morning and afternoon on Pole Green Road and Mechanicsville Turnpike.

As the driver of Bus 250, I pick up students from Pole Green Elementary School to Mechanicsville Turnpike, continue on Mechanicsville Turnpike to Walnut Grove and back to Pole Green to school. It is not always easy to see them, but when you see my yellow flashing lights, front and back, it

is a certainty that I will be stopping to load or unload my precious cargo. Remember, the red flashing lights are activated only after the bus comes to a full stop and the door is opened. The children are instructed to always wait for the driver to wave them to cross the road and board the bus. I do so only after I’m sure you are stopped. Speaking for all drivers, we try to be efficient, so as not to detain you any more than necessary; but these are your children, my children, our children – they are our priority and responsibility.

You are part of this team, whose mission is to collect these students and transport them to and from their respective schools every day, for they are

our future. Thank you, one and all, for your contribution to this mission. I try to thank you all with a wave, but I thought it was important to recognize you in this media as well.

Theater proposal endorsed Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com In a statement released Oct. 2, the Hanover Business Council of the Greater Richmond Chamber of Commerce announced its support of the proposed Carmike theater development on the Mechanicsville Turnpike.

The group, which is chaired by Brad Trevillian of Trane, voted to express its support for the development of the 12-screen theater at 7407 Mechanicsville Turnpike near Lee-Davis Road on Sept. 17.

“Consistent with our guiding principles, we support Hanover County and its effort to maintain a favorable business climate and

encourage business investment in our community,” the council’s statement said. “This commercial development should bring valuable employment opportunities and revenue to our county. We believe this to be a wellfunded economic development opportunity allowing for private sector investment growth and job creation. Likewise, the use is consistent with the B-3 zoning of the site.”

The council also acknowledged concerns expressed within the community about the proposed theater.

“With a potential consumer draw beyond Hanover County, we also recognize the pub-

lic safety implications of this endeavor,” the council said in its statement. “We trust that our public agencies and their established policies will respond appropriately to the transportation and safety issues associated with this new business opportunity. It is the Council’s belief that the project’s potential revenue and employment should offset the public service needs that the theater complex should impose and result in a net positive effect on the county.”

The council urged the Hanover County Board of Supervisors to support the proposed Carmike theater development in Mechanicsville.

Dr. Murray Ellison will be the guest speaker. He is an instructor of “American Classics” Literature at VCU with an emphasis on the works of Edgar Allan Poe. There is no charge for this event.

Join author Maria Rippe at Hanover Tavern at 7 p.m.

Admission is Free. Since the 2009 publication of Rippe’s Tinsley Family of Totomoi, she has experienced the disappointment of explaining to many people that this place is not their ancestral home, along with the satisfaction of meeting Tinsley slave and employee descendants who have connected with the land where their ancestors lived and died.

Recently Totomoi was included on the National Register of Historic Places as a significant agricultural site, updating its earlier Register papers, linking Totomoi’s story with the mainstream of American history. see CALENDAR, pg. 29

mmanuel Episcopal Church will celebrate the ministry of their new priest, the Rev. Anne Lane Witt, at a special service at 10 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 12, in the historic church, which is located at 3263 Old Church Rd. in Mechanicsville.

The Rt. Rev. Susan Goff, suffragan bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Virginia, will officiate. Goff served as rector of Immanuel from 1986 to 1994 and helped launch The Cherub School for preschoolers, which is still a major outreach ministry of the church.

Members of the community are invited to attend the service and the reception afterwards.

Before Witt became Immanuel’s priest in charge a few months ago, she served as an associate rector at Grace Church in Kilmarnock. She received a master of divinity degree from the General Theological Seminary in New York City and was ordained in 2010.

At Grace Church, Witt provided pastoral care, taught confirmation classes and oversaw Godly Play, a children’s Christian education program that uses the

Montessori Method of teaching.

She also led book and movie theology groups, in addition to other priestly duties.

“I feel called to help people build connections with church and the rest of their lives. I enjoy helping people see religion through different lenses, like movies and books, where you take nonreligious topics and discuss them as persons of faith.

Connecting faith and the secular world helps you live more fully into the gospel,” Witt said.

Under Witt’s direction, Immanuel is now offering Godly Play for children of all ages at 10:30 a.m. on the first and third Sundays of each month. Depending on interest, she hopes to offer book and movie theology groups soon.

A native Richmonder and cradle Episcopalian, Witt attended church at St. Stephen’s and St. James’s. She graduated from St. Catherine’s School and earned a B.A. degree in art history from the University of Virginia. While at UVA, she completed an internship at Walt Disney World and received a “ducktorate” in human resource management.

Prior to becoming a priest, Witt worked in several man-

Rev. Anne Lane Witt

agement and customer service positions for about 10 years. She was a customs compliance specialist for Circuit City Stores in Richmond, a retail manager and mortgage claims representative.

During seminary, Witt interned at St. James the Less in Ashland, and at St. Ignatius of Antioch in New York City. She also served as a chaplain intern at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Los Angeles. In addition, she co-directed St. Martin’s Clothing Closet, a volunteer ministry of the seminary that served hungry, homeless and impoverished people in partnership with the Holy Apostles’ Soup Kitchen – the largest in New York City.

Witt was attracted to Immanuel because of its healthy history, strong lay leadership and size – about 200 members.

“It’s large enough not to be insular, but small enough that you can really get to know people.

It’s a place where we can all work together, serve and grow in a variety of ways. We can all learn from one another.”

The origins of Immanuel Church date to the late 18th

century, when a frame church structure was shared with several other local congregations.

The present gothic-style brick church was constructed in 1853, largely due to the efforts of George Washington Bassett, grandnephew of Martha Custis Washington. The building is a Virginia Historical Landmark and is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.

The church property served as a Union Army headquarters during the Civil War. Immanuel also has connections to actress Katharine Hepburn, whose grandfather, Sewell Hepburn, was rector of the church from 1881 to 1904.

Visitors are welcome at worship services at 9 and 11 a.m. on Sundays. Refreshments are served after the last service.

Immanuel is located at 3263 Old Church Rd., in eastern Hanover County. From Mechanicsville, go east on 360 and turn right on 606 (Old Church Road) at West Store. Immanuel Church will be about 1.5 miles on the right. For more information, visit www.immanueloc.org or call 779-3454.

Local youth among those celebrating national 4-H week Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com

M

ore than 6 million young people across the country are celebrating National 4-H Week, which began Oct. 6 and will continue through Oct. 12.

This week also marks the 4-H New Year, and Hanover members want to invite other youth to join them in the 4-H

experience. 4-H is rich with learning opportunities in which young people partner with caring adult volunteers to explore and navigate new opportunities. Through 4-H, young people are encouraged to participate in a variety of activities that emphasize Head, Heart, Hands and Health, and 4-H’s “learning by doing� philosophy of youth development.

Research has proven that

participation in 4-H has a significant positive impact on young people. Recent findings from the Tufts University 4-H Study of Positive Youth Development indicate that, when compared to their peers, young people in 4-H are: Nearly 4 times more likely to contribute to their communities, Two times more likely to pursue healthy behaviors Two times more like-

more youth.

BY REED WILLIAMS Richmond Times-Dispatch

Authorities are investigating a message scrawled in a bathroom at King William High School that threatens to “kill everyone.”

The message was brought to the attention of the school’s principal about 10 a.m. Thursday,

said King William County schools Superintendent Mark Jones.

Officials said they are taking the message seriously and will be adding security at county schools today and next week.

The message, written in a boy’s bathroom at the school, says, “I will kill everyone.” Written below the threatening words is Monday’s

date.

Beside the message is a crudely drawn symbol that authorities said they do not recognize.

King William sheriff’s Lt. Tim Hixenbaugh said he has sent a picture of the symbol to law enforcement officials nationwide to see if anyone recognizes it.

Authorities on Thursday were

trying to determine who wrote the message and why. Hixenbaugh and school officials said they were unaware of any other similar incidents at the school.

“This is somewhat out of the ordinary for here,” Jones said.

Mary Ann Strobel Strobel, Mary Ann, Britt, 75, of Glen Allen, passed away peacefully on Sunday, September 29, 2013. She was born on March 12, 1938, the oldest daughter of the late Horace and Elsie Britt.

Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by one sister, Elizabeth Britt of Luray.

Mary Ann was an active member of Elpis Christian Church, Goochland.

She was employed by a number of companies in Richmond, retiring from Nabisco in 1997.

Mary Ann was a vibrant, kind person that never met a stranger. She deeply loved the Lord, her family, friends and everyone she encountered. She loved to exercise, making beautiful quilts and reading. Her greatest contribution was brightening the lives of others through her positive encouragement and her loving spirit. She showed us through her example, the importance of learning to enjoy the moment. We learned through her that life is lived through the mindset that we see OBITUARIES, pg. 33

Friends run neck-and-neck in triathlon

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Hundreds of athletes and their supporters came to Mechanicsville for a friendly takeover at Burkwood Swim & Racquet Club – and they brought quite a show.

More than 300 of them were participants in the Richmond Sprint Triathlon, which was making its first appearance in Hanover County since its inception more than a decade ago.

And two of them, Richmond residents Gabriel Morgan and Stone Dyson, battled neck-andneck through the 400-meter swim course and 12-mile bike ride before Morgan pulled away on the second loop of the 5K run to win in 57:55.683, a little more than a minute ahead of Dyson, who finished in 59:00.573.

Morgan and Dyson know each other well. Both attended Douglas S. Freeman High School. Both are attending Liberty Online, and both are interns at Endorphin Fitness, a popular training center in the area. They were also members of Endorphin Fitness’ winning triathlon team.

They are also friends, but that did not detract from their competitive spirit.

“At the start of the race, I really wanted to beat him,” Morgan said. “On the swim, there were three of us that got

34

out of the water together, then on the bike, he and I stayed together 50-50 on who was in front. And then on the run – it was a great run – and on the second loop I was able to I guess give a little bit more.”

Dyson tried to give a little bit more. On a hill at the start of the run loop, he started a move on Morgan on the second of the two loops through that segment of the course.

“I put a small gap into him, but then he countersurged and got away from it,” Dyson said.

“Once the gap’s there, you’re kind of mentally done a lot of the times.”

Rounding out the top five men’s finishers were Marc Warner of Crozier (59:34.673), MichaelKrongaardofRichmond (1:01:20.593) and Brian Goebel of Vienna (1:02:02.113).

Connie Glueck of Williamsburg handily won the women’s competition with a time of 1:08:06.510, three minutes ahead of Sari Cattoni of Henrico, who finished in 1:11:19.013. She enjoyed the course.

“It gave you a nice variety,” Gleuck said. “On the bike, you had a few hills, but they weren’t mountains. And for the run, it gave you a really great variety of, like, a little bit of cross country, and then little climbs – but then you got some nice descents.

And then they give you a little trick with the sand coming in

[to the finish], so it’s like a beach run, and an uphill finish.”

Alejandra Garcia of Sandy Hook finished third in the women’s race with a time of 1:13:17.676. Margaret Reid and Jennifer Potter, both of Glen Allen, finished fourth and fifth, respectively. Reid finished

in 1:14:01.856 and Potter in 1:14:38.976.

Mechanicsville’s Gene White at age 81 was the triathlon’s oldest participant, but he was far from the last to finish. White was 148th among the 170 men with a time of 1:38:28.953. He enjoyed the course.

“It’s a track that, if you have run [it] more than once, you’ll do better,” White said. “It’s tricky.

It’s got hills, it’s got curves, it’s got gravel, and if you anticipate all that, you’ll come out ahead – unless you just can’t do it.”

But the regular at the Goochland Sprint Triathlon,

which is held in August, most appreciated having a race much closer to home.

“I didn’t have to get up at 4 o’clock in the morning and drive all the way to Goochland,” White said. “That was a big improvement. Yes, I really liked that.”

Second-quarter onslaught dooms King William passes to Johnson.

“He’s come out and done a great job, he’s a fun young man to coach,” Ross said of Harris.

Johnson finished with seven catches for 142 yards. Pankey finished with four catches for 119 yards.

The victory was Caroline’s second in a row.

“It definitely builds confidence when you do well, its no question about it,” Ross said.

“Execution fuels emotion.”

King William (3-2), which has dropped two of its last three games, now prepares for a road game at 0-5 Charles City County High School on Friday.

“This was a good team to play at this point in our season before we get in our district, because we needed to see what type of team we are,” DeHart said. “We really needed to see a big, physical ball club like we might see in the playoffs. …

Caroline gave us a good look at the things we need to work on if we want to be a successful playoff team.”

By Josiah Turner For The Mechanicsville Local Caroline High School proved to be superior in the battle of the Cavaliers at King William High School Friday night.

Despite coming in with a 1-3 record to King William’s 3-1 record, Caroline, led by Chad Boxley with 21 carries for 185 yards and three touchdowns, thrashed King William 42-6.

Despite being two divisions lower than its visitor, King William, a Division 2 team under the Virginia High School League realignment, took 6-0 lead after one quarter following a 7-yard touchdown run by Camajae Peatross – the conversion attempt failed.

It took some time for Division 4 Caroline’s offense to find its comfort zone.

“We weren’t clicking very good on offense early on,” said Caroline head coach Jeremiah Ross. “Our defense really played well, they’re a good offense, a well coached team, and they can get on a roll quick.”

The lone score by King William came after a fumble by Caroline wide receiver Darius Leacock. The fumble was recovered by King William linebacker T.J. Young, who returned it to Caroline’s 13-yard line. Running back Camajae Peatross eventually scored on a seven-yard run.

“Really the only time we gave up a score is because we turned the ball over, our defense just played phenomenal throughout the game,” Ross said. “To play the way they did early on … [allowed] our offense to get some rhythm, and once we started getting some rhythm, we were able to kind of get going.”

Caroline’s offense began to find its rhythm early in the second quarter when Jaquan Monroe returned a King William punt 45 yards to give

his team good field position.

After a holding penalty and false start on two straight plays pushed them back, Caroline’s sophomore quarterback, Rasharrd Harris, tossed a 30yard pass to his favorite target Keyshawn Johnson, who finished with seven catches for 142 yards and two touchdowns. The reception helped set up a 13yard touchdown run by their stocky senior running back Chad Boxley. Wide receiver Brandon Braxton caught a pass from Harris for a 2-point conversion that gave Caroline an 8-6 lead.

responded.

“We knew tonight we were coming in to play a good football team … We knew their offense was very dangerous,” said King William head coach Dylan DeHart. “They ran the ball very hard. I was very

impressed with their running back.”

Caroline’s Boxley carried the ball 21 times for 185 yards and three touchdowns – all of which came in the second quarter – to give his team a 21-6 lead at halftime.

The second half belonged to Caroline and only Caroline.

Harris had a lot to do with that. He finished with 14 completions in 28 attempts for 289 yards and three touchdowns – a 56-yard pass to receiver Aaron Pankey and 31- and 24-yard

Atlee’s defense shuts out Hanover for 14-0 win

ties, which have plagued the Raiders all season, thwarted other drives.

“It’s an unbelievable number (averaging 103 penalty yards per game) that is embarrassing.

And it’s simple things,” Atlee coach Roscoe Johnson said.

“We still haven’t played up to our potential. We haven’t put a game together in all three phases, but everything we’ve got is fixable.”

The Raiders have bounced back from what they thought was an unexpected loss to Douglas Freeman.

“It was a rude awakening,” Johnson said. “We didn’t play our best offensively (against Hanover), but we played a heck of a game on defense.”

Stubbs finished the night with 117 yards on 18 carries.

McCoy completed 16 of 22 passes for 130 yards and ran for 63 yards.

The Raiders held Hanover to 144 yards total offense.

Atlee High School special teams coach J.C. Cobbs thought it would be a good idea for Tye Burris to back up some when Hanover High School’s Christian Unger set up to punt with 2:51 left in their game Friday night at Atlee.

A couple of times during the game, Unger had booted the ball over Burris’ head. The Raiders’ coaches also were looking for a fake punt, something the Hawks have done in the past.

Unger didn’t fake and kicked the ball to Burris, who fielded it at his 30-yard line, picked up a key block in the middle and returned the ball 70 yards for a touchdown that sealed Atlee’s 14-0 victory.

“Everybody did a great job of giving me a clean catch on the ball,” said Burris, a senior.

“I took it right and there was a humongous hole. It was all blocking, really.”

The Raiders, 4-1 and ranked No. 7 in The Times-Dispatch Top 10, defeated Hanover (23) for the second time in three years.

Hanover entered the game unranked for the first time in years after losing two close games in a row.

The Hawks haven’t been shut out in a while either, but the Raiders’ defense didn’t give Hanover many openings.

The Raiders’ high-powered offense looked good at times and sputtered at times. It managed to score just once on a 5-yard run by Lamont Stubbs with 20.3 seconds remaining in the first half. The big play in the drive was a 35-yard pass completion from Reid McCoy to Daniel Glymph.

Hanover blocked two Atlee field-goal attempts, and penal- Henderson 1-7.

Randolph-Macon overcomes turnovers to win were able to run the football better than we’ve been able to.”

McGhee was especially appreciative of the line’s efforts given the obstacles RandolphMacon had to overcome.

“It was definitely a great testament to our O-line, fighting for four quarters,” McGhee said. “They were patient with our running backs. … The Oline were able to continue to fight for us and open up those holes.”

Emory & Henry head coach Don Montgomery said better preparation paid off for the Yellow Jackets.

“I think that they did a great job of scouting,” Montgomery said. “They took away what we did best and we didn’t respond to it.”

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com The field was hot, but the play was hotter when Emory & Henry came to RandolphMacon Saturday for both teams’ Old Dominion Athletic Conference opener.

The two teams combined for more than 800 yards total offense and six turnovers – three apiece – but the Yellow Jackets overcame their mistakes to earn a 45-20 victory over the Wasps.

Randolph-Macon (3-1, 1-0 ODAC) amassed 549 yards total offense to 294 for Emory & Henry (3-1, 0-1). But the turnovers were what stood out in Randolph-Macon head coach Pedro Arruza’s mind.

“We’ve definitely got to clean some things up,” Arruza said. “The biggest thing I was disappointed in was the turnovers. Our turnovers were very costly.”

The Yellow Jackets had two fumbles and an interception.

All three of Emory & Henry’s turnovers were fumbles. All of the fumbles – from both teams – led to touchdowns.

The payouts began with the first fumble – an Emory & Henry lateral on the first drive of the game that bounced into the hands of Randolph-Macon’s Tom Buchanan at the Wasp 30yard line. There was no one to stop Buchanan from crossing the goal line. Seth Yurgel’s kick made it 7-0 with 13:33 remaining in the first quarter.

Less than nine minutes later, Emory & Henry returned the favor after a Will McGhee fumble at the Wasp 29-yard line that was recovered by Cole Beyeler at the 34. The Wasps took 11 plays and nearly four-and-a-half minutes to drive the intervening 66 yards and score on Jonathan Turpin’s 1-yard run. Austin Breed’s kick tied the game a 7-7

Randolph-Macon took the lead for good on Colin McFadden’s 27-yard field goal and John Byrd’s 1-yard run. The Yellow Jackets led 24-14 at the half.

McGhee more than atoned for his fumble. He finished the

game with 28 carries for 218 yards. His last rush began at the Yellow Jacket 1-yard line after Cole Burdette recovered a Emory & Henry fumble at the 2-yard line and after a delay-ofgame penalty backed them up another yard.

At the snap, the line surged

tackle. That was huge, and that was key to that play.”

Both McGhee and Nacarrato, who threw an interception to end the Yellow Jackets’ previous drive, credited the offensive line for enabling the offense to rack up yardage.

Confederates overcome stubborn Henrico squad

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com For 40 minutes, Henrico High School’s Warriors kept Lee-Davis High School’s field hockey team out of the net.

But the Warriors could not keep the undefeated Confederates, playing on their home field, out for a full 60 minutes.

Lee-Davis’ Harper Matthews scored a goal in the 41st minute.

Teammate Cameron Gibson added a goal 12 minutes later and another two minutes after that to lead the Confederates to a 3-0 Conference 11 victory Wednesday night.

Matthews’ goal came on a corner to Madison Doss, who passed it to Matthews.

“We needed to get a goal,” Matthews said. “I just kind of hit it in with my golf swing.”

She threaded it through the defense, not expecting it to go in.

“I was really shocked, because I’ve only scored two goals, including that one, in my entire career,” Matthews said.

“Then I was really excited – and then I kind of looked back at my team and I was like, ‘Wait, did that really just happen?’ ”

It did, and it helped the Confederates (11-0) get down to business.

“Henrico’s always a mentally tough game,” Gibson said. “But once Harper got it in the net, then we all could settle down and play our game. That’s when the goals started to come.”

Gibson said Henrico (4-7) has a style the Confederates are not used to facing.

“They have a lot of people in the circle,” Gibson said. “It’s hard for us to play our passing game when there’s green players everywhere. So it was a lot of not being completely mentally prepared and then that shook us. … It wasn’t like we didn’t have the skill to get it done, we just didn’t have our heads quite in the game yet.”

Henrico’s Isabelle Stern said the Warriors’ teamwork played a huge role in holding the Confederates down.

“We were just working as a team, getting our bearings down and working on and just, like, passing it how we’ve always done – working on our lead Dave Lawrence/The Local passes,” Stern said. “We did … Harper Matthews (6) of Lee-Davis winds up for a pass downfield as Henrico’s Sierra Reams (7) tries to catch up. a lot better than we usually do.

LD: Matthews, Gibson (2) We held them down. I think hardest.”

Olivia Faraone finished with four saves in the shutout.

Assists: Doss (LD), Wolfgang (LD) 0 0 — 0 we did a really good job as a Lee-Davis outshot Henrico seven saves. Lee-Davis’ keeper Henrico Saves: Faraone (H) 7; Gosslin (LD) 4 Lee-Davis 0 3 — 3 team. Everybody played their 10-4. Henrico’s goalkeeper Courtney Gosslin finished with

The Mechanicsville Local

October 9, 2013

The Lee-Davis High School’s girls’ volleyball team gave visiting Atlee High School all the fight it had in them, but the Raiders, despite getting pushed to the brink the final two sets, escaped with a sweep of the Confederates Thursday night.

Atlee – led by Maddie French with nine kills, three aces, four blocks and two digs – defeated Lee-Davis 25-14, 26-24, 25-20.

The Confederates started slow, but a fired-up edition took the court for the second set.

“It was a good match,” said Lee-Davis’ head coach Sharon Gaston. “I think the first game there were some nerves. We always get nervous a little bit when we play Atlee. … I think we just took a deep breath and said, ‘We can play with them.

We just need to settle down and control the ball on our side.’ ” The deep breath seemed to work. The Confederates took an

early lead, but the match turned into a see-saw. Lee-Davis was one point away from victory, 24-23, when the Raiders (12-1) scored three straight points for the win.

In the third set, the teams swapped leads until the end, when the Confederates (10-5) could not quite close the gap.

“I knew they weren’t going to go away,” said Atlee head coach Curtis Carpenter. “We let them jump out on us in the beginning of the second set. We

got away from what we do. I’ve been preaching to them all season, ‘We’ve got to be a ball control team.’ … We started trying to play not to lose, and it almost cost us.”

Molly Jarvis had 10 kills for the Raiders and Mel Snyder had 14 digs and three assists.

Lee-Davis was led by Chelsea Matthews with six kills and five digs, Brooke Bowman with two kills and six digs, and Jordan Martin with 14 assists and two kills.

How you can lower your risk of breast cancer

By Metro Creative Graphics news@mechlocal.com Breast cancer is the second most common cancer among women, second only to lung cancer.

One in eight women is expected to develop breast cancer in her lifetime, and a recent survey by the Society for Women’s Health Research found that 22 percent of women named breast cancer as the disease they fear most.

The specter of breast cancer makes it no surprise that women are eager to seek various ways to reduce their risks of developing this potentially deadly disease.

Though cancer treatments continue to evolve, there remains no cure for breast cancer or any other types of cancer.

However, there are steps men and women can take to reduce their risks of developing breast cancer.

In fact, the National Cancer Institute says avoiding breast cancer risk factors is the best path to prevention.

Avoid exposure to radiation.

Repeated exposure to radiation thera-

py used to treat illnesses like Hodgkin’s disease can increase a person’s risk of breast cancer, particularly if treatments begin at an early age.

Keep a healthy weight. Obesity increases the risk of breast cancer, particularly in postmenopausal women.

Healthy eating and exercise can help women control their weight while reducing their risks of developing breast cancer and a number of other diseases. Scientists at The Mayo Clinic believe there is a link between estrogen production in fatty breast tissue and breast cancer.

Get your exercise. Exercising four or more hours a week can lower breast cancer risk. Exercise need not be heavy lifting at the gym. Any moderate physical activity, from cycling to walking, can be effective. Exercise decreases hormone levels in the body that can impact breast cancer risk.

Some studies indicate simply walking briskly for one to three hours per week can reduce a woman’s breast cancer risk by 18 percent.

Eat a low-fat diet. The Women’s Intervention Nutrition Study from the

Regular exercise can help women lower their risk of developing breast cancer.

National Cancer Institute found that the highest rate of breast cancer reduction was among a group of women who ate a low-fat diet.

Reduce alcohol consumption.

Various studies have indicated that women who drink alcoholic bever-

ages may develop cancer at a higher rate. Women who consume two to five drinks daily have a greater risk of developing breast cancer than those who abstain from alcohol.

Weigh the risks of hormone replacement therapy. There are mixed reviews on hormone replacement therapy, or HRT, for postmenopausal women. There may be a link between long-term HRT and breast cancer, particularly when estrogen and progesterone are used in combination. Some doctors advise estrogen-only hormone therapy for women who have had a hysterectomy.

Use of SERMs and aromatase inhibitors. Selective estrogen receptor modulators, or SERMs, are drugs that act like estrogen on some bodily tissues but block the effect of estrogen on other tissues. Aromatase inhibitors decrease the amount of estrogen made by the body. Women with a high risk of breast cancer may benefit from taking a SERM or aromatase inhibitor. * Increase fruit and vegetable consumption. Carotenoids are cancer-protective pigments found in a vast number

of fruits and vegetables. Researchers at New York University found women who had higher blood carotenoid levels had a significantly smaller risk of breast cancer than women with lower levels.

Go sparingly on antibiotics.

Only take antibiotics when they are truly needed. New evidence suggests that the more often a woman takes antibiotics, the higher her breast cancer risk. A study of more than 10,000 women found that women who took antibiotics for the equivalent of about 25 prescriptions over an average of 17 years where twice as likely to develop breast cancer than women who never took the drugs.

Breastfeed your children.

Lactation can suppress ovulation and the body’s production of estrogen, which has been linked to higher levels of breast cancer. Breastfeeding may drop a woman’s breast cancer risk by 4 percent. Although there is no cure for cancer, there are a number of different ways women can reduce their risks for breast cancer.

Preventive mastectomy It’s important to educate to avoid breast cancer young women about risks

By Metro Creative Graphics news@mechlocal.com People around the world were shocked to learn that actress and activist Angelina Jolie opted to have a double mastectomy in 2013 to reduce her risk of breast cancer.

Jolie, who was 37 years old at the time of the procedure, reportedly learned that she carries a mutation of the BRCA1 gene, which sharply increases her risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer.

In addition, the actress has a family history of cancer. Her mother, Marcheline Bertrand, died of ovarian cancer in 2007 at the age of 56.

By having a preventive mastectomy, Jolie reduced her breast cancer risk from 87 percent to 5 percent, according to an op-ed piece she authored in The New York Times.

Jolie is not the only wellknown actress to opt for a preventive mastectomy, as fellow thespian Christina Applegate had a similar procedure in 2008

after learning she had a mutation of the BRCA1 gene.

These highly publicized cases have left many women wondering if a preventive mastectomy is something they should consider.

BRCA stands for “breast cancer susceptibility genes,” a class of genes known as tumor suppressors, says the National Cancer Institute.

Mutations in these genes have been linked to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer.

A person’s risk of developing breast and/or ovarian cancer is greatly increased if he or she inherits a harmful mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2.

Mutations in these genes could also put a person at increased risk for other cancers.

Genetic tests can check for mutations in BRCA genes.

During such a test, a blood sample is taken, and if a mutation is found, a person may get genetic counseling and work with a doctor to develop a plan

of action.

It is important to note that not all people with a genetic mutation will get breast cancer or ovarian cancer.

The National Cancer Institute’s “SEER Cancer Statistic Review” states a woman who has inherited a harmful mutation in BRCA1 or BRCA2 is about five times more likely to develop breast cancer than a woman who does not have such a mutation.

Although there is no surefire way to determine if a person with a mutated gene will develop breast cancer, many women who are considered high risk opt for a preventive mastectomy to reduce their risk.

Women who have a family history of breast cancer, have received positive results from gene testing, have already had cancer in one breast, or have dense breasts that make testing difficult may want to get a preventive mastectomy.

The decision to get a preventive mastectomy is not one to take lightly.

Many breast centers are staffed with breast-health specialists, genetic counselors, breast surgeons, and reconstructive surgeons who can help patients make the best decision.

Second opinions are strongly recommended for women considering a preventive mastectomy.

Women should understand the options available to them if they have an extremely elevated risk of breast cancer or ovarian cancer.

By Metro Creative Graphics news@mechlocal.com t the age of 12 to 15, many young women are experiencing the body and life changes that accompany adolescence.

It can be difficult to imagine that breasts that are just beginning to develop may contain cancer.

But such is the reality for some girls.

The majority of women who receive a breast cancer diagnosis are over the age of 40.

Experts at Monroe Carell Jr. Hospital at Vanderbilt University note that only 5 percent of breast cancer cases are found in women under the age of 40.

However, the hospital recently treated a 14year-old girl who found a lump and learned she had a rare form of breast cancer called a phyllodes tumor.

In 2009, a 13-year-old from Little Rock, Ark. found a quarter-sized lump in her right breast, while a 19-year-old student at the College of New Jersey was diagnosed with cancerous cells and underwent a bilateral mastectomy.

Though such cases are rare, it behooves teenage and adolescent girls to familiarize themselves with the disease and be mindful of their breast health.

Some organizations have increased breast cancer messages for young girls, and it is not uncommon to find young women participating in runs and fundraisers for breast cancer research.

Some organizations even conduct breast cancer workshops to educate young women about breast health.

Dorothy Paterson of Texas, a former Girl Scout leader who was diagnosed with breast cancer herself, began conducting workshops for Girl Scouts in 2007.

The idea isn’t to scare girls into believing they have the disease, but rather to increase their awareness of changes in their bodies that

may or may not be normal.

Some parents worry that educating children about breast cancer may cause them to worry unnecessarily, especially considering a young girl’s risk of developing breast cancer is so minimal.

However, others see the importance in schooling girls early on about a disease that is so common.

Advocates of teaching young girls about breast cancer often note that any effort to help save lives and promote health is worthwhile.

Just as with older women, adolescents and teens should realize that eating healthy foods, exercising, avoiding alcohol and tobacco, and maintaining annual physical exams with a doctor are key ways to reduce the risk for cancer.

Learn about the woman behind the ‘cure’

By Metro Creative Graphics news@mechlocal.com Thousands upon thousands of women have battled breast cancer. Some have pulled through the disease, while others succumbed to the disease after a brave fight.

Few people who have waged war with breast cancer are better known than Susan Komen, a name many instantly associate with the organization Susan G. Komen for the Cure, the most widely known, largest and wellfunded breast cancer organization in the United States.

Susan G. Komen was born Susan Goodman in 1943 in Peoria, Ill. According to her sister, Nancy, Susan was the high school homecoming queen and a college beauty queen.

After graduating from college, Goodman returned to her hometown and pursued modeling, eventually marrying her high school sweetheart, Stan.

Komen was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1977 after finding a lump that subsequent

removed.

The doctor who did the procedure assured Komen that she was cured.

Despite urging her sister to get a second opinion, Komen was convinced she was safe.

But within six months Komen found another lump under her arm, and, by this point, it was evident that the cancer had spread.

Doctors at the Mayo Clinic soon determined the cancer had metastasized to her lung and under her arm.

Komen underwent several different treatments to slow the progression of the cancer, including radiation and intense chemotherapy.

However, the cancer continued to spread and eventually her body developed a resistance to most of the medication.

ing the appearance of waiting rooms and treatment centers, and doing other things to help comfort those who would find themselves in similar situations in the future.

Komen lost her battle with breast cancer in 1980 at age 36.

By the time of her death, Komen had undergone nine operations and three courses of chemotherapy and radiation.

Nancy Goodman Brinker then made it her mission to do everything she could to help end breast cancer and increase awareness of this potentially deadly disease.

In 1982, Brinker established the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation in her sister’s memory.

Since its inception, the organization, now called Susan G. Komen for the Cure, has pro-

vided funding for basic, clinical and translational breast cancer research projects. It also has become instrumental in breast health education and urging women to do self-screening while promoting annual mammograms.

Through the years, the foundation has teamed up with many well-known businesses, brands and organizations as part of its fundraising efforts.

To date, the organization has invested $750 million in breast cancer research, awarding many thousands of dollars in grants in countries around the world.

Through her struggle with breast cancer, Susan Goodman Komen unknowingly inspired an organization that has helped to save the lives of millions.

Establishing the pink ribbon symbol The pink ribbon has been synonymous with breast cancer for years.

Nowadays, people rarely think twice when they see pink ribbons, having grown accustomed to the pink ribbon and what it symbolizes.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month has been celebrated each year since 1985, and many other breast cancer awareness initiatives have been devised since then.

While the pink ribbon may seem like it’s

been in use for just as long, it was actually established only about 20 years ago.

Ribbons have long symbolized something important.

For decades, yellow ribbons have been used to alert others to soldiers at war or hostages that hadn’t yet come home.

People often tie yellow ribbons around trees at home until their service men and women came home safely.

During the height of HIV/AIDS activism and awareness, red ribbons were worn to symbolize support for those with the

disease.

Although the pink ribbon evolved because pink expresses femininity, calm, health, and youth, the first breast cancer ribbon was actually peach.

Charlotte Haley is credited with devising the first breast cancer ribbon in 1992.

She was a breast cancer survivor and came from a family of women who also fought the disease.

She created peach-colored loops at home and then distributed the ribbons at see SYMBOL, pg. 4

Haley encouraged people to wear the ribbons and contact legislators to demand more funding for breast cancer research.

An attached note was distributed with the ribbons stating, “The National Cancer Institute annual budget is $1.8 billion, only 5 percent goes for cancer prevention. Help us wake up our legislators and America by wearing this ribbon.”

The same year Evelyn Lauder, senior corporate vice president for the Estee Lauder company, and Self magazine editor Alexandra Penney teamed up to produce a pink ribbon. It was distributed at makeup counters all across the country.

The company collected more than 200,000 pink ribbon

petitions asking the U.S. government for increased funding for breast cancer research.

Although Lauder and Haley reached people on different lev-

els, their goals were the same: To educate the public on the lack of funds allotted to breast cancer research.

Pink ribbons are now seen all over and have become the uniting force for millions of women who are facing breast cancer or supporting someone with the disease.

In 1996, Nancy Nick created a blue-and-pink ribbon to symbolize male breast cancer ribbons in honor of her late father.

The ribbons remind others that breast cancer can affect men as well as women.

Although you can see waves of pink every October for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, many people don their ribbons year-round.

Great strides have been made with respect to breast cancer, but with about 225,000 new cases popping up each year in the United States alone, there is still work to be done.
