HINES

Hanover County’s top law enforcement officer talks optimistically about ongoing talks with the Board of Supervisors and the administration in terms of staffing issues.

Last Wednesday, Col. David R. Hines said, “I’m encouraged by

the conversations and I believe that they are recognizing our challenges and our needs.� “My people need raises. We asked for six (positions) last year and we didn’t get them. My new budget’s requesting 11,� Hines said. “Nothing happened to change the six that I needed. This was not new news for the last three years.

I’ve asked each year for zero for that

year but explained that in 2014 we would need six. And I’ve done that for two years and then on the third year I requested the six that we had planned for in the Sheriff ’s Office because of need,� he said.

Due to continued growth, Hines said the additional five positions are needed. “We do a five-year plan see SHERIFF, pg. 4

to patients from all area health systems and physicians,” Peter J. Bernard, chief executive officer, Bon Secours Virginia Health System, said. “Bon Secours is proud to be able to provide families and patients with a facility that will meet a critical unfilled need for compassionate end-of-life care in Central Virginia.”

In 2012, Bon Secours announced plans to build a Community Hospice House in Old Bon Air on land donated by honorary campaign co-chairs John C. Cullather and Anthony F. Markel.

The Community Hospice House will have private patient suites, each with garden access, as well as common areas where families can spend time with their loved ones unencumbered by caregiving duties.

Guided by a holistic approach to medicine, the Community Hospice House will provide a high level of medical care in a

“We are very pleased by the generous support from the Central Virginia community,” Cindy Reynolds, CEO, Bon Secours Richmond Health Care Foundation, said.

“We are extremely grateful to our donors who understand the value of providing a comfortable, caring environment for their loved ones at the end of their lives. This successful effort was led by Foundation Board chair Bill Boinest and Fundraising chair Kyle Woolfolk, and we are proud to build this facility for the community.”

Services will include pain management and the relief of other symptoms of illness with a focus on comfort and improved quality of life.

Psychosocial and spiritual care for patients and families, as well as bereavement counseling and support, also will be available.

The program will be staffed by a hospice medical director and hospice nurses, home

He praised the efforts of his staff. “We’re doing a great job in continuing to prevent crime and it needs to be understood it is less expensive to prevent crime than it is to solve crime.”

Hines, who became sheriff in 2010, noted that breaking and entering cases – both commercial and residential – are down. “Our robberies are down by two (year-to-date numbers).

health aides, counselors, social workers and chaplains.

Great care will be taken in the design of the Community Hospice House to ensure patients and families can rest in a homelike environment, surrounded by natural elements of light, water and plants. Medical equipment will be easily accessible.

“In keeping with the Bon Secours mission of caring for the sick and dying, the Community Hospice House will provide a high quality of life for patients with terminal illness, while providing the emotional and spiritual support to their families,” Sr. Vicky Segura, M.D., C.B.S., hospice and palliative care physician, said.

Once the Community Hospice House is built, its operating budget will come from Bon Secours Hospice Services.

Since 1983, Bon Secours has provided medical and emotional care to terminally ill patients and their families, along with the daily living assistance that ensures their comfort and dignity.

This year we’ve experienced eight robberies and last year at this time we had 10.”

Larcenies, as well as electronic crimes, such as identity theft, are rising.

Property crimes top the list where the Sheriff ’s Office is seeing an increase. “We deploy our people every day — and we discuss deployment every day — but it’s becoming more and more difficult to make the deployments in an effective manner because of staffing levels and increases [in crime] that we’re seeing.”

According to Hines, his officers cover a Suburban Service Area of 96 square miles, with about 68 percent of his patrol staff being deployed. “That leaves 378 (miles) for 32 percent

of our patrol staff to cover.”

The sheriff also pointed out that his officers are preparing for the holidays. “The good thing about the holidays is when school is out we’re able to move our resource officers into the community and you’ll see an increase in officer presence.”

The courtesy patrol, which consists of volunteers, also is very visible in shopping centers.

Hines said the volunteers can be recognized by the vests designating them as “Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office Courtesy Patrol.” “They will assist shoppers walking to their car and just being the eyes and ears of law enforcement partnering with the Sheriff ’s Office see SHERIFF, pg. 8

fundraising campaign, the details of which can be found at www.youhavebeeninfected. com, is $90,000. That will cover gifts for donors and the entire budget of the film.

Once the movie is finished, the profits will go to charity.

That’s the way the production company, Big Damn Films, operates. A previous movie by the nonprofit film company raised $117,000 for a handful of non-profit organizations.

The Rileys said they are thrilled to be part of the production, and have made it a family affair. Mom Sreda and Dad John traveled with Austin and Taylor to shoot the “proof of concept” reel Dougherty is using to raise money for the full movie. John even got into the act – literally — by donning makeup and shambling like a zombie alongside his daughter, who also served as a zombie extra.

Austin said his role – one of the four leads in the film – seems written with him in

mind. His character, Dawson, provides over-the-top comic relief.

“When I read the script — if I didn’t know better— I’d think he knew Austin.

Dawson’s loud and obnoxious, while the other characters are so serious,” Sreda said.

“I’ve always loved acting, always been into comedy, and always loved zombies,” Austin said. “I would’ve been just as happy to be a zombie.”

The family got connected with the effort through an open casting call. Austin and Taylor are represented by a tal-

ent agency.

Austin, who plays drums, guitar and piano, said he is interested in a music career.

The siblings talked excitedly about their experience shooting the movie preview, which gives a brief outline of Z*Con’s plot.

Basically, Austin’s character and three other teens end up stuck at a comic book convention when a zombie outbreak strikes, and use their smartphones and other technology to send out exclusive pictures and videos from inside the containment zone. Meanwhile, zombies, many of whom are in comic book or sci fi (science fiction) costumes, menace them.

Alongside silly moments during shooting, the siblings fondly recall down-time on the set, making friends with costars and even finding a stray kitten near the warehouse used for the shoot. Their parents shared similar reminiscences.

“When you get there, it’s a bunch of strangers,” John said.

OPINION | The Local Views

LETTERS

From the editor

Election message clear: Go to the polls and vote The message as Election Day remains the same: Go vote.

While we do not endorse any candidate, we do strongly urge you to head to the polls on Tuesday and cast your ballot.

Your party preference is of no consequence to us.

Our goal today is simple: Encouraging you to be a part of the political process by exercising one of our most valuable rights.

When you vote, you express yourself in a priceless manner. You have decided to work toward becoming part of the solution.

Be heard by voicing your support of the individual you consider most qualified, most capable, most devoted to the people of Hanover County and the Commonwealth of Virginia.

The interest in this year’s election has brought many issues, including those of a social nature, to the forefront.

This is your opportunity to express your opinions in deciding the direction in which you want our state to move.

Sadly, while we must be an informed voting public, we have been inundated with the negative this go-round.

I don’t know about you, but mudslinging tactics don’t make me a fan — or supporter — of a candidate.

And I do believe my vote counts — even if the candidate I vote for winds up being the one delivering a concession speech.

Tuesday is your day to take advantage of one of an American’s most precious privileges: the right to vote.

Again, whatever your preference, that’s your business. We stand firm in our endorsement of the need to go the polls.

Be careful out there With the Halloween observance tomorrow, be aware of the ghosts, goblins or whatever the most popular costume is this year (please tell me it isn’t Miley Cyrus). Be careful and mindful of the little ones trick-or-treating.

Writer voices support for Fowler for House When I was in Ashland, I saw a Toni Radler campaign sign with the slogan “Back to business.” I could barely avoid breaking out in uproarious laughter.

I thought, “Back to what kind of business?” Is it the kind of business where the connected of all stripes get behind closed doors and make a deal that involves tax increases at a time when we could afford them the least?

What does Toni Radler want to do differently from Frank Hargrove and John Cox? Virginia is the “Number 1” state in the nation for business according to Forbes Magazine due to balanced budgets, strong leadership, and tackling the tough issues.

Buddy Fowler knows the job. He will be ready on day one to hold the line on taxes, stand tall for the Second Amendment, and continue the robust constituency service the 55th District has come to expect.

Vote for Buddy Fowler for the House of Delegates on Nov. 5.

Nat Atkins Mechanicsville

Mayor endorses Radler for 55th District House seat On Nov. 5, I will once again have the privilege of voting.

I take this honor very seriously and this year I am proud that I can cast my vote for Toni Radler as my representative to the 55th District.

I have known Toni for a number of years and I know her to be an honest, hard-working and committed person.

Her work ethic is phenomenal. And I want us to all take advantage of Toni’s work ethic. We need our next House of Delegates member to work tirelessly on our behalf to make Virginia the best state it can be.

I am most excited about Toni’s ongoing commitment to public education. She will work hard to make sure that our state focus remains on quality education and that we fund the future we want for our children.

Toni’s sister is a Special Education teacher and her family has always been committed to the value of education.

She wants to make sure that all Virginians have equal access to the education that she was privileged to have. She’s willing to ask the hard questions about Standards of Learning (SOL) testing and whether those tests best serve our children. Educated citizens are the best gift we can give our sate and our country. It’s important that we not fall behind.

Toni is committed to bringing jobs to our state and making sure that the children we educate here in Virginia

have good jobs to keep them here. Citizens deserve to have jobs that pay them working wages and afford them a chance to raise their families in safe, comfortable neighborhoods.

Toni understands what it means to do without and she understands what it means to work hard. One of the foundations of her political beliefs is that people who work hard every day should not live in poverty. We should be able to provide jobs that allow hard-working citizens to provide for their families.

One of the reasons I am most supportive of Toni is her understanding that the state should work closely with localities, but also allow small towns like Ashland the flexibility to enact laws that will best serve our citizens.

I believe that I will have a strong partner in Toni Radler and I look forward to working with her. She believes, as I do, that gridlock and partisanship cannot ever serve our state or our country well. She is a strong believer in reaching across party lines to get things done and I believe that I can trust her to do that. I hope you will join me in supporting Toni on Nov. 5.

Faye Oliff Prichard Mayor Town of Ashland

Voter says House candidate is in tune with women Toni Radler says Buddy Fowler is not in tune with the women voters of the House of Delegates in the 55th District.

As a woman voter in the 55th District I find that Buddy is very much in tune with the issues that are most important to me. He opposes tax increases and that’s important to me.

Buddy supports keeping money for schools in our classrooms, to keep our schools some of the most desired in the Commonwealth. That’s extremely important to me.

Buddy supports small businesses and creating jobs in see LETTERS, pg. 8

While the sheriff said he understands the poor economic times being experienced, he said “but we also understand that as Hanover County continues to grow, as crime continues to come into our county, the Sheriff ’s Office is in need of staffing.”

In a recent presentation to the Board of Supervisors’ Safety and Security Committee, he said staffing and budgetary items were addressed. That session has been followed by conversations that Hines said made him “very hopeful that we will be able to achieve a staffing increase.”

Those talks, he said, “are about the possibility of being able to better staff the Sheriff ’s Office for the future. I’m hopeful, but there’s been no commitment — but the conversation is continuing.

When asked how county leaders could not justify funding the positions, Hines said, “That’s what I have not heard.”

While he pursues additional personnel, Hines said, “I think the citizens need to know we’re continuing to keep crime as low as possible. The men and women of the Sheriff ’s Office are working diligently every day. We’re trying to solve crimes as quickly as possible, but, at the same time, we’re seeing an

increase. So staffing is needed.”

“During all of this,” he continued, “we’re tracking a slight drop in our clearance rate of crime. Clearance rate refers to our solved rate of crime. So the national average is somewhere between 20 and 25 percent.

Right now, we’re tracking at 64.7 percent and that’s a reduction from last year at this time.

And last year was a slight reduction from the previous year. All of these factors are indicators of a need in staffing levels.”

Looking ahead, the sheriff has submitted his budget for the coming fiscal year “and it is an increase over the last few years.

We have once again included staffing positions as well as an increase to the operations budget — all which are needed to keep the citizens of Hanover County safe.”

“Even as staffing levels are becoming critical,” Hines said, “we do an excellent job at being highly visible, and it’s not by accident that you see a deputy when you travel through Hanover County. We’re proud of that fact and we want the criminals to see a deputy when they travel through Hanover County.”

He concluded by saying, “We’re proud of what we’ve done with the resources we have, but resources are running short and we require more resources.”

the Commonwealth, all important issues to me as a woman voter.

I am a woman voter in the 55th House District and I look forward to casting my vote for Buddy Fowler on Nov. 5.

I hope you will join me in choosing the best candidate for delegate of the 55th District, a man whose commitment to strong traditional family values are important to me.

Michele Jones Ashland

Writer: reasons to support Radler On Nov. 5 let’s bring our government a step closer to “We the people” by electing Toni Radler as our delegate to the Virginia General Assembly in the 55th District.

Toni is a native Hanoverian who understands the people and the mindset of the district. Her well-run campaign reflects her personal work ethic, intelligence and willingness to do her homework. She has been endorsed by U.S. Sen. Mark Warner and the Virginia Education Association, among others.

I recently attended the can-

didate forum at Patrick Henry High School. Toni demonstrated her broad knowledge of state and local issues, enthusiasm for the job, and ability to listen to and connect with all different kinds of people. She was willing to clearly state her policy positions while refusing to pander for votes. .

Believe me, I know very well the strength of the local Republican political machine.

But there comes a time when a broken machine needs to be fixed, when voters need to recognize a common interest that trumps party labels.

Electing Toni Radler for a two-year term in the Virginia General Assembly would send a clear message to both major political parties that we the people run the show.

Only a few thousand voters will turn out to vote for delegate on Nov. 5. Rarely does your vote count more. Put it in your phone reminders, in your Google calendar, in your Toodledo list, put a rubber band on your wrist, a sticky on your front door, a note on your fridge, park your car a different way the night before, send yourself an email, do what you have to do to remember to vote for Toni Radler. Let’s start to clean house on Nov. 5.

Writer: vote for Libertarian Sarvis I write to encourage my fellow voters to cast their vote for governor this year for the Libertarian, Robert Sarvis.

I am voting for Sarvis because he is willing to express his views even if you do not agree.

Sarvis also is running a positive, upright campaign. Liberty is his moral compass; he wants to get rid of ridiculous regulations and taxes.

Virginia will be “open for business” with a Sarvis administration.

Sarvis has degrees from Harvard and Cambridge (the one in England!) and co-founded a law journal to have a place for scholarly articles on free markets and liberty in law.

Maybe Sarvis will not win but he has some impressive poll numbers for a vastly underfunded campaign and can win if he can get his message out.

Jesse Ventura had a underfunded campaign in 1998 in Minnesota but he did win after all!

Besides, a vote for principle is one you will be proud of years later. Don’t waste your vote on the lesser of two evils! Send the political system a message. Vote Sarvis instead.

Yes, I disagree with Sarvis, most notably on gay marriage.

But we have to choose one of three and the best choice is an independent voice: Libertarian Robert C. Sarvis.

2. Yes! The Democratic slate is and will continue to trespass upon my life, my liberty and my pursuit of happiness.

The Republican slate of Ken Cuccinelli, E.W. Jackson, Mark Obenshain and Buddy Fowler are, by far, the most qualified to continue to conduct the peoples’ business in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

3. Yes! I am helping, for a number of reasons, but one of the most compelling is I will be able to tell my grandchildren that I did everything in my power to help save this great nation. I never failed to vote and I did my best to carve out time to inform people about the “big” picture of what is happening around them.

If you have been mislead by the lies and smears, I encourage you to look at http://www.cuccinelli.com/factcheck/.

If you care about the future, you need to elect the proper stewards. For the 55th District House of Delegates, that person is Buddy Fowler. He will replace retiring Del. John Cox. Buddy will step right in — battle tested, sleeves rolled, conservative principles proven, and ready to get the job done. Time is critical. We have no use for a rookie Democrat. As for the other three stewards on our slate, I ask you, for your part, to get informed by moving past the lies and smears and then make

Will you care enough to vote?

Why does it matter? Apathy seems to be running high these days in general terms and especially with this election.

If you are among the apathetic group, I would invite you to ask yourself a few questions: 1. What are my priorities and what motivates me?

2. Will I and those I care about be directly affected if a Democrat or a Republican wins this election?

3. Do I believe I can help and am I compelled to make a difference?

Maybe I can help by offering my answers: 1. My priorities are the “unalienable rights” of course — “Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” . . . In “life” I see my health and the health of my family. In liberty I see the smallest government possible but with a military to ensure our security. In the pursuit of happiness I see hard work + self-reliance + initiative = success and happiness. What motivates me is the clear and present danger of fiscal irresponsibility and failed socialism models replacing what we and our predecessors have built with blood,

Land use revisions could spur economic property availability

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local An economic development update earlier this month revealed a lack of pad ready sites for economic development in Hanover County.

Last week, County Attorney Sterling Rives and Economic Development director Edwin Gaskins recommended an update to the county’s land use taxation policy designed to address some of those shortages be allowed to proceed to public hearing.

Gaskins said the new measures are tailored to provide more commercial pad ready sites in the county.

The measure addresses taxation of property in land use after it is rezoned for other uses. The current policy requires landowners to pay rollback taxes when the property is rezoned and taken out of land use.

The proposal would allow property owners who rezone for specific purposes such as hotels and manufacturing be allowed to continue receiving tax benefits of the land use designation until an actual project is in place.

Jim Ridolphi for The Local

Edwin Gaskins, left, director of Hanover County Economic Development, addressed the Hanover County Board of Supervisors last week and recommended an update to the land use taxation policy. County Attorney Sterling Rives also is shown.

“We need to increase our available commercial property. We don’t have enough of it,” Gaskins said.

He told the Hanover County Board of Supervisors that the proposed revisions would allow more landowners to free up property for development in specific targeted areas see REVISIONS, pg. 16

the right decision on Nov. 5.

Why does it matter? It matters people because if we lose Virginia, it’s game over.

Danette Fulk Mechanicsville

Concern over candidate I write this letter with deep concern over a position that one candidate took during the recent 55th District House of Delegates debate.

Toni Radler gave a response to a question that included a reference to Medicaid waivers and the recent Department of Justice settlement in Virginia.

Her response was staggering.

I understood Radler’s response to highlight her clear concerns over the recent increase in Medicaid waivers mandated by the U.S. Department of Justice. She stated concerns with the cessation of residential operations in some state-run training facilities, where many Virginians with intellectual and developmental disabilities currently reside.

Radler stated she would have concerns over an increased homeless population because four of these facilities will cease residency operations. I am appalled. Plans for closure were submitted to the General Assembly after an investigation revealed legitimate reasons to warrant closure.

The problem is not increased waivers . . . the problem is we desperately need more waivers.

The debate over this topic has long been settled.

We must have more waivers and fewer individuals in these facilities. These waivers allow individuals and families to have more input over the care a loved one receives.

To think the government can provide better care, through a state-run facility for citizens who need help the most, is an

absurd thought.

Our Community Services Board in Hanover County is comprised of the most dedicated, knowledgeable and caring individuals you will find.

Ask them how they feel about Medicaid waivers.

Community-based services and collaborative care initiatives that include families and caregivers is a far superior option than anything the state-run training centers could ever deliver.

Is there no line that won’t be crossed when attempting to give government more control over Virginians’ lives? I call on Ms. Radler to issue an immediate apology for her comments and then take some time to understand the real needs of Virginians.

Sean M. Davis Mechanicsville

Jobs, economy real issues Many of Toni Radler’s supporters have talked at great length about social issues like women’s rights and abortion.

Roe vs. Wade is settled law and no attempt is or has been made to overturn it. The major change that is now being discussed is that of holding abortion clinics to the same safe standards that hospitals are required to do, and for a good reason.

That point became even more salient after the trial of Dr. Herman Gosnell in Philadelphia.

Dr. Gosnell was on trial for the egregiously unsanitary conditions at his abortion clinic, which killed a number of women.

Regardless of your position on abortion, I think all but the most partisan can agree that all surgical procedures need to be performed in the most sterile environments.

When you get past all the hysteria ginned up by the

Planned Parenthood ads and the Radler partisans, women will still have the right to choose no matter who gets elected governor or who wins the 55th District seat in the Virginia House of Delegates.

The fact is, jobs and the economy are the real issues facing this county and state and “false and misleading” social issues are the only way those on the left try to make these the pressing issues that face us so that they may win.

Buddy Fowler will support policies that keep tax rates low which will spur prosperity and the creation of more jobs and a more secure future for us and our children. Toni Radler’s vision is to grow government and its control over our lives and personal decisions.

If you, like me, believe the biggest issue confronting us now is jobs and prosperity, Buddy Fowler should be your choice as is mine on Nov. 5.

Daniel J. Corrieri Mechanicsville

Time to look at presidency Election Nov. 5, 2013. Food for thought: If you choose to vote the Democratic ticket, you may want to tidy up the spare room. Obama will be coming to stay in your home.

On the other hand, if you choose to vote the Republican ticket, even though they may not have all the answers, they will keep the wolf from devouring Little Red Riding Hood.

In this time of crisis, I plan to batten down the hatch anyway. Washington, D.C., still has long reaching arms.

What do you think about searching high and low in finding our next president now?

Let’s be prepared with a winning ticket in 2016 and get back to using the Bill of Rights and the Constitution for a change as they were intended.

Gwen Heath Mechanicsville

HEA president urges Radler vote I am hoping that your readers will vote for Toni Radler for House of Delegates for the 55th District. I am fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet two of the candidates and have had

email correspondence with the other. I truly believe that the best candidate is Ms. Radler. She is an education candidate and will continue to support instructional issues once elected. Her views on jobs and woman’s rights are on target for what is needed in Hanover and in the Commonwealth of Virginia. I believe that it is time

to have some fresh new faces in the General Assembly and if elected, Toni will give her all to the citizens of Hanover County.

She will be open-minded and listen to our concerns.

“We’ve had a successful land use program in place for a long time,� Gaskins said. “This would expand that program to allow some very specific uses to be rezoned without a parcel being disqualified from this program.�

Gaskins recommended the tax accommodations be extended to specific uses that are largely correlated with the county’s targeted businesses for development such as manufacturing, transportation and hotels.

There are 3,600 tracts currently in the county’s land use program, 520 of them located within the Suburban Service District. “Of those, there is a smaller list that has economic development viability,� Gaskins said, explaining the program is limited in scope. “Its applicability is very small.�

Gaskins said the availability of pad ready sites for developments is often a key factor in a company’s relocation plans, and companies do not want to wait for the rezoning process. “What we find in the market place is that things move a lot faster than they used to,� he said. “Before, a company prospect may have been willing to endure an 18- to 24-month rezoning waiting period. Now, they are exclusively looking for zoned properties.� “This isn’t a silver bullet. It’s not going to immediately cause commercial investments to land on our shores. We are not able to market some of our prime pieces of acreage for commercial use because it is zoned anything other than A-1,� Gaskins said. “Still, nothing happens unless the owner chooses to rezone, is that correct?� asked Board of Supervisors chairman Canova Peterson of the Mechanicsville District. Gaskins said that is the case.

Supervisor Aubrey “Bucky� Stanley, Beaverdam District, said he supported the land use taxation policy but wasn’t thrilled with this model fashioned after a Loudon County effort. “Rollback concerns me a little bit because a part of doing development means you have to put up some money,� Stanley said.

He said he had no problem with authorizing a public hearing on the issue, but voiced concerns regarding the equity of the proposed policy that allows rollback taxes to be delayed until the actual development occurs on the property. “The big boys get bigger and the little boys are still there, and I wouldn’t be the one to pick and choose one over the other. It seems that it could be a little bit unfair,� Stanley said. “I think we have to take a hard look before we make a decision.�

The new measure would allow the delay of rollback taxes when landowners change the zoning of property in the land use program, if the revision fits the specific targeted areas of development.

Vice chair Sean Davis, Henry District, has

a lukewarm response to the program. “Could the same thing be accomplished working with Planning Department?� he asked. “If we really want to become more business friendly, couldn’t we accomplish some of the same things by finetuning the rezoning process?� “I certainly want to hear what the public has to say. I just question if the same thing can be accomplished with less government regulation,�

Davis said.

The impetus for the change is the lack of pad ready sites with utilities in place. “We just don’t have what they want. Even if you streamline the zoning process, it still takes nine months and these big companies are not willing to do that,� supervisor Wayne Hazzard, South Anna District, said.

Hazzard supported the changes. “It fits in to what we are trying to accomplish,� he said. “We are sometimes talking days or hours in terms of what we have to identify parcels who meet these criteria,� Chickahominy District supervisor Angela Kelly-Wiecek said.

Gaskins said most of the requests are received via email, and time is the key element in these decisions.

Gaskins said the proposed policy changes are targeted and specific and would not eliminate the collection of rollback taxes.

When the development occurs on the rezoned land use parcel, the rollback taxes would be collected.

Hazzard said the proposed changes make the county more competitive when it comes to attracting economic development and eliminate a current situation that allows businesses to locate in other areas. “We just get skipped over. We don’t have enough contiguous property already zoned,� he added.

Hazzard said that means the county is being passed over on a regular basis when companies seek new development sites. “That happens weekly,� Gaskins said.

Rives said streamlining the rezoning process is a good idea but would not replace the need for the new land use measures. “I think we’ve raised a lot of good questions and a lot of good points,� Peterson said as he asked for a motion to approve a public hearing on the matter.

The board approved the request to advertise a public hearing by a unanimous vote.

In other matters before the supervisors, Steve Herzog, director of Public Utilities, said a project at Totopotomoy ran more than expected once bids were received.

Original estimates priced the project at almost $4.2 million, but, once bids were received, the lowest was $5.3 million.

He noted the additional costs will be covered

by Water Quality Improvement Fund (WQIF) monies and funds already in the department’s budget.

back to Richmond Memorial Hospital from Studley.

Within a half hour of his entering the Emergency Room, a makeshift room in a hall was partitioned off with screens for Mrs. Peck, proof of a wellrespected doctor, who truly cared for his patients.

Mrs. Peck remained hospitalized under Dr. Wysor’s care for two weeks. I’m certain he did not charge a cent.

Mrs. Peck’s income was $88 a month at that time, 1965 or 1966. Dr. Wysor treated her the same as he would have a millionaire or better!

When my older daughter was 16, she suddenly had terrible abdominal pains late one evening and nothing I could do comforted her. I called Dr. Wysor around 9:30 or 10 p.m., describing her discomfort.

He gave me several suggestions and said to bring her in the next morning. Then I asked “Would it be okay if I gave her

a laxative?” My goodness, I never knew I could frighten a doctor so! I heard the alarm in Dr. Wysor’s voice as he said, “I’ll be there in about 15 minutes.” He was there immediately and he correctly diagnosed the illness.

He kept me from harming my child by mistake.

Dr. Wysor was always available to us and until he retired several years ago.

We all miss seeing him coming or going from the Mechanicsville Drug Store where he enjoyed seeing buddies and former patients.

He has a humble, caring, respectful personality, which, along with a great education, made him a great doctor.

Dinner to go toward medical costs for ailing man with Hanover ties Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com The Joy Club will be sponsoring a chicken dinner on Sunday, Nov. 10, to benefit Jimmy Whitlock, an Essex County resident who has relatives in Mechanicsville.

He has been battling medical issues since 2006.

Whitlock, a former employee of Southern States in King William, and his wife Linda and have four children, Angie, Amy, Jamie and Lee. He was diagnosed with lung cancer in 2006. In 2011, he had a heart attack after which he began radiation for throat cancer.

Whitlock continued to experience pain so a pet scan was performed that showed spots in the chest, stomach, colon and lungs.

No action was taken for awhile but when he began having shortness of breath and couldn’t eat much and was losing weight fast, the family asked for prayers from friends.

A short time later, a lung biopsy was done and — to the doctor’s amazement when they tested again — the spot on the lung was too small to biopsy and it appeared it was healing itself.

Then a test was done to determine the action to take for the colon spot and they removed two polyps and the rest was cleared up. “Prayers were definitely being answered!� his family said.

Whitlock had been given five to six months to live but the doctors now said they felt comfortable performing surgery for the throat cancer.

On Sept. 4, Whitlock had exploratory surgery done and a trachea tube and feeding tube were inserted. Soon after, there was a second surgery that lasted 10½ hours where his larynx, thyroid and two lymph nodes were removed.

Whitlock had cancer in his voice box and now has a stoma in his throat that he breathes through. He also had to go through two corrective surgeries to fix

leaks and chest muscle was taken to repair them like installing “flaps.� That hospital stay lasted 39 days.

Whitlock is now able to take small sips of liquid by mouth but is fed every three hours through the feeding tube with special food. He has many medical bills, medicine expenses and lots of supplies needed to keep the stoma cleaned out and general overall medical care at home.

The Joy Club is sponsoring the chicken dinner to help with the mounting medical expenses.

The dinner will be held from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at the King William firehouse in Aylett.

The menu is chicken, mashed potatoes, green beans, bread, dessert, tea and coffee.

The cost for the dinner is a donation of $10.

Scouts to return Saturday to collect food donations Boy Scouts, Cub Scouts and Venture Scouts will return to Central Virginia neighborhoods on Saturday, Nov. 2, for phase two of the 26th annual “Scouting for Food” effort.

They will go back to these same neighborhoods to collect the bags filled with donations.

Nearly 260,000 households received a bag on Oct. 26.

Those making donations should place their filled bags outside their front doors by 9:30 a.m.

on Saturday, Nov. 2, and individuals who did not receive a bag, but want to participate, may make a food donation at any Richmond-area Martin’s location.

Last year, 197,000 pounds of food were donated to FeedMore’s Central Virginia Food Bank through “Scouting for Food.”

FeedMore and Boy Scouts of America’s Heart of Virginia Council hope to collect at least 206,000 pounds of food this year.

Financial contributions also can be made by visiting www.feedmore.org.

Bon Secours’ fountains splash pink in October Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Bon Secours Richmond Health System has been celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness Month by adding pink lighting accents across six of its hospitals and facilities.

To support the cause throughout the month, Bon Secours changed its fountain lights to pink and added exterior pink ribbons to shine on their buildings as part of its “tickled pink” campaign.

“We hope by making such a visual statement in our communities it will call attention to what this month represents and what the color pink signifies,” Sherry Fox, Ph.D., vice president, Bon Secours Cancer Institute, said. “We also hope it reminds and encourages women to take charge of their breast health.”

Breast cancer is the second leading cause of cancer-related death in women.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month serves as an annual campaign to increase awareness and education of the disease.

The fountain lights changed to pink and exterior pink design elements were added at Bon Secours Memorial Regional Medical Center, St. Mary’s Hospital, Richmond Community Hospital, St. Francis Medical Center and St. Francis Watkins Centre, and pink ribbons were added around the Bon Secours Washington Redskins Training Center.

Short Pump Town Center has partnered with Bon Secours Cancer Institute during Breast Cancer Awareness Month by hanging pink ribbons and adorning its fountains in pink lighting.

Short Pump Town Center also set up a pink donation tree

To celebrate Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Bon Secours Richmond Health Systems added pink lighting accents and exterior pink ribbons as part of its “tickled pink” campaign.

where visitors can purchase pink ribbon ornaments for $1.

Donations will go directly to the Bon Secours Foundation Cancer CARE Fund to support the fight against cancer.

“The color pink reminds us how much impact breast cancer can have on a woman’s life and that there is still more work to be done to find a cure,” Fox said. “I want to thank Short Pump Town Center for their support and effort on this cause.”

Along with the “tickled pink” campaign, the Bon Secours Cancer Institute has promoted breast health through a number of activities throughout the month, including information tables in its facility lobbies, Support Your Girls seminars, and sponsorship of Susan G. Komen for the Cure events.

Bon Secours held an employee and patient awareness day on Oct. 25 when, by wearing a splash of pink, employees and visitors received discounts in hospital gifts shops, coffee shops and pharmacies.

“Breast care is important throughout the year, but by putting a focus on it throughout the month we are able to

reinforce what that means and what resources are available to women,” James Pellicane, M.D., F.A.C.S., breast surgeon specialist, Bon Secours Virginia Breast Center, said. “The more we can highlight breast cancer’s impact on woman, reinforce the need for early detection and celebrate survivorship, the better our community can stand up to this disease.”

According to the National Cancer Institute, when breast cancer is detected early (localized stage), the five-year survival rate is 98 percent.

“Mammography is still the best screening tool used today for the early detection of breast cancer. Research shows that annual mammograms lead to early detection, when the disease is most curable and breastconservation therapies are available,” Mark Dixon, M.D. director of breast imaging, Bon Secours Richmond, said.

Dixon recommends women get a mammogram every year beginning at the age of 40.

To encourage screenings, women who have their mammograms performed at Bon

Movie opponents claim traffic study incomplete

was closed, and no additional time was in order.

Vice chair and Henry District representative Sean

Davis moved the period be reopened, a move quickly seconded by Angela Kelly-Wiecek, Chickahominy District.

The motion passed with Peterson and Ed Via, Ashland District, voting no, so the proponents were allowed to speak.

Deb Wetlaufer has led a citizens’ effort to prevent the necessary conditional use permit allowing the theater to open in the Hanover Village Shopping Center.

Last month, the supervisors deferred a decision on the CUP to allow the developer to conduct and compile a traffic study of the surrounding area.

That study is complete, but Wetlaufer told the supervisors that conditions have changed

since the study was completed and additional studies are necessary.

A no left turn restriction is now in place that does not allow cars traveling south on Lee Davis Road to turn left into the Walgreen’s entrance of the shopping center.

“Specifically, modifications were made to one of the entrances to the Hanover Village Shopping Center, and those modifications were not taken into account during the recent traffic analysis,” Wetlaufer said.

The restriction was not in place when the study was conducted.

Planning Department director David Maloney said that restriction is being challenged

by Walgreen’s and could be reversed.

Wetlaufer said she asked Maloney to request an updated study with consideration to the new regulations, and he initially agreed.

“I’d like to make the case that the traffic analysis does need to be updated. Mr. Maloney should indeed ask the traffic engineers to update that study,” she said.

Wetlaufer added she “assumed” updating that traffic study would require a further delay.

She urged the supervisors not to schedule the matter for their Thanksgiving meeting, usually scheduled the Tuesday before the holiday.

“I’d caution the board about

doing anything that further undermines the perception on the board’s handling of the project,” Wetlaufer said.

County Administrator Rhu Harris said the supervisors have scheduled that Tuesday meeting for at least the last 20 years or “for as long as he can remember.”

The traffic study arrived in time for the matter to be considered at the October meeting, but supervisors decided to give the public and the Virginia Department of Transportation more time to digest and study the results.

The vote is not scheduled for the board’s Nov. 13 meeting.

A source close to the case indicated the board intends to remain on that timetable.

face every day.”

“I don’t owe any political favors to lobbyists or major donors,” she added.

Radler said, “My allegiance is to the people; my goal is to represent their needs and concerns.”

Sullivan said he is “running for office first and foremost to ensure Virginians and those in our district will always have someone fighting to maintain and increase their liberty. I seek to make Virginia the freest state in the Union through deliberate repeals of state laws and nullification of federal laws that infringe on personal liberty or step beyond the bounds of the Constitution.”

He said he would “work diligently to lower taxes and spending all around, but especially through wholesale reform of the state income tax, ideally doing away altogether with a taxation system that penalizes achievement.”

“The notion of a third party candidacy has so often been dismissed as a wasted vote or

(worse) a waste of effort by the candidate,” Sullivan said.

“I believe times are changing though, and I find that the people of our district are more receptive than ever to departing from the two-party status quo that has so ill-served us for over a hundred years.”

“I’m asking the people of our district to ask themselves what they truly want from their government — more taxes and spending on myriad programs or, as I believe it should be, a strict defense of the liberty of all in our district and our Commonwealth.

Voter Registrar Teri Smithson has increased her office’s hours to accommodate in-person absentee voting.

That continues from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 2, in the Wickham Building, Suite 119, at 7497 County Complex Rd. in Hanover. The deadline to vote an emergency ballot is 2 p.m.

Monday, Nov. 4.

“Because the citizens of Hanover are very engaged in this

election, the Voter Registration and Elections office is very busy,” Smithson said.

“The 190 Hanover County Officers of Elections are trained and ready to receive voters on Nov. 5 starting at 6 a.m. In-person absentee voting will continue in our office until 5 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 2,” she said.

“We are happy to service the citizens of Hanover and are here to assist in any way we can.”

Smithson added.

Gordon Silver, chair of the Hanover County Democratic Committee, said, his party is “excited about the potential outcome of various races,” including Terry McAuliffe, who, he said, “is poised to break the trend of every Virginia governor race since 1981: that the winning party has been opposite of the party winning the White House the previous year.”

“For the first time in 24

years in House District 55, we are on the verge of electing a Democrat, Toni Radler.” If she wins, Silver said, “not only will we send the first Democrat in 24 years to the House, but we will also send the first woman delegate from Hanover.”

“The last session of the General Assembly woke people up,” he added. “People realize that laws passed in Richmond really impact their everyday lives.”

Nancy Russell, Hanover County Republican Committee chair, said, “We encourage all voters to cast their ballots for Ken Cuccinelli, E.W. Jackson and Mark Obenshain for our top three statewide offices.

Locally we support Chris Peace and Buddy Fowler for House of Delegates. All of these candidates are fiscal conservatives who pledge to be good stewards of your hard earned tax dollars.”

She said, “The biggest single issue in all voters’ mind is jobs and the economy. Lower taxes, fewer regulatory burdens and a commitment to the free enter-

prise system are important cornerstones of Republican values.”

“Our candidates have pledged to improve our education system and are committed to closing the disparity between schools in Virginia,” Russell added. “It is unfortunate that their opponents are distorting their records especially on social issues.”

Bob Shannon, president of the Mechanicsville TEA Party, said, “Both Republicans and Democrats have failed to address the major issues facing Virginia. Education reform, Medicaid and illegal immigration are drowning the state’s finances.”

“Subsequently, after closely examining the three candidates for governor, Rob Sarvis is intellectually superior, has no ethical challenges as do the other two, and has exhibited his Independence relative to the beholden crony capitalists that control the establishments of both parties,” he said of his party’s candidate.

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local It appears both sides of a controversial proposal to allow construction of a movie complex in Mechanicsville are primed for a showdown when the matter is considered at next month’s meeting of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors.

Several opponents showed up at last Wednesday’s meeting to express their opinions during a public comment period.

When the speakers arrived for the evening session, they learned the public comment period had concluded at an earlier session.

ing the Virginia Retirement System.”

Fowler said ethics reform is a key goal and he would introduce legislation that would prohibit “gifts” to family members of legislators, as well as members of the Executive Branch.

Radler said she is seeking the House seat “because it’s time the people of the 55th District get represented once again. Lately we haven’t been represented.”

She said the last session of the Virginia General Assembly was “ruled” by “extreme ideology and special interests. So much so that Virginia became the brunt of late night talk show jokes and the comedy channel.”

According to Radler, the focus should be on jobs and schools.

“I am the moderate voice representing the mainstream.”

She said she would “represent the voters and their concerns about the very real issues they

Rabies vaccination clinics start Saturday All dogs and cats (including so-called “barn cats”) are required by law to be vaccinated for rabies at four months of age.

You also must have tags and a valid license proving the vaccination.

Hanover Animal Control makes it easy for people to get their pets vaccinated by holding rabies vaccination clinics in the fall and winter.

Vaccines will be administered at a cost of $7 per dog or cat.

All clinics are from 9 a.m. to noon.

They will be held: Saturday, Nov. 2, at the Montpelier Center for Arts and Education at 17205 Mountain Road in Montpelier.

Saturday, Dec. 7, at the Hanover

County Administration Building at 7516 County Complex Road at Hanover Courthouse.

Saturday, Feb. 1, 2014, at the East Hanover Rescue Squad at 8105 Walnut Grove Road in Mechanicsville.

At each of these clinics, the veterinarian will administer the shots to the pet at your vehicle; do not bring pets into the building.

You will complete your registration inside the facility and return to your vehicle.

Drive to the area designated for vaccination.

You will be expected to leave the vaccination area as soon as you are done.

Only healthy, non-pregnant animals will be vaccinated.

No wolf or cat hybrids or animals other than dogs or cats will be vaccinated.

The vaccination is good for up to three years unless the pet has never had a rabies vaccination before, in which case it is good for one year.

Put the rabies tag on the dog’s collar and keep certificates for proof of vaccination.

According to L-DHS DECA advisor Donna Roush, “The goal for our Crusade Against Cancer was to find a cause that would unify our student organizations in an effort to educate as well as raise awareness and money for a cause everyone has been affected by in some way.”

Students have put up a Wall of Honor in the main hallway to give students and faculty a chance to post pictures of loved ones affected by cancer.

Kensley Watkins, L-DHS DECA co-president, said photos can be placed in three categories: In Memory of, Undergoing Treatment, or Survivors.

Space on the Wall of Honor can be purchased for $5 and $10 with 100 percent of the money going directly to the ACS. “The most exciting part of this effort for the American Cancer Society is that the students put together their plans over the summer and have really worked hard with a great deal of commitment to make this all happen,” Roush said.

They didn’t really key on me as much as other teams did, so I was able to do more,” Stattelman said. “It helps a lot with (Johnson, 14 for 104 and a touchdown) in the backfield and Austin blocking. The line does a good job of blocking.

They were spectacular tonight.”

Ryan Cross and his fellow offensive linemen took Hayden’s challenge to heart.

“We’re a real old-school type of offense. Put your hand in the dirt and run the ball up the middle and we got it done,” Cross said.

By Arthur Utley For The Mechanicsville Local The Lee-Davis High School football team needed to win a game to keep alive its hope of gaining a berth in the playoffs and that’s just what the Confederates did.

Running backs Blake Stattelman, Miles Johnson and Donald Kidd thrived behind an offensive line that opened hole after hole. They combined for 297 yards and five touchdowns Friday night at Hanover High School and led the Confederates, who never trailed, to a 40-35 victory over the Hawks.

“I told the boys before the game that I challenged the offensive line and I think they responded,” Lee-Davis coach Zac Hayden said. “We hadn’t put a game together this year.

We hadn’t put two halves of football together. I felt like tonight we did.

“It was a wild game. Let’s be honest, it was a fun high school football game. There had to be a winner and a loser. ... I challenged them to put a game together and see what can happen. We played pretty well on offense. We made some mistakes on defense, but I think we can correct them and hopefully get better for next week.”

Lee-Davis (4-4) is still outside the eight-team bubble in Group 5A South and needs to win out to have a chance.

Donald Kidd (8) of Lee-Davis breaks into the secondary and gets another Confederate first down at Hanover Friday night.

Hanover (4-4) is still in good position in Group 4A South despite the loss.

Four turnovers were costly to the Hawks. The Confederates scored after each of the mistakes.

After Kidd ran 39 yards for

a touchdown with 8:39 left in the first quarter, Hanover drove downfield, but a bad exchange between quarterback Korbin Bordoni and Brooks Coombs at the 3-yard line resulted in a fumble recovered by Lee-Davis’ Nathan Evans in the end zone.

The Confederates went 80 yards with Austin Rice capping the drive with a 2-yard plunge.

Bordoni connected with Jalen Elliott on a 29-yard pass play to put Hanover on the board. Elliott caught seven passes for 66 yards and completed 5

of 6 passes for 98 yards. After Lee-Davis went up 40-21 on Stattelman’s second touchdown run, Elliott returned the kickoff 76 yards to the Lee-Davis 11 and scored on the next play.

Hanover’s Josh Harris caught seven passes for 140 yards and

King William carries on legacy with 51-0 win

By Josiah Turner For The Mechanicsville Local While Middlesex County High School was King William High School’s opponent Friday, the night was dedicated to the Cavaliers’ former head coach, Roger Brookes.

And the Cavaliers made it a memorable night for all.

During halftime, former King William players and coaches gathered on the field to show the community’s appreciation for their former coach by naming the Cavaliers’ football field after him.

The current players showed their appreciation for Brookes by shellacking their visitors 510.

“He built a program, [that’s] a very strong program,” current King William head coach Dylan DeHart said of Brookes.

“If it wasn’t for coach Brookes, who knows what King William football would be.”

The current team wasted no time in showing the kind of program Brookes built over his 35-year career at the school.

On the Cavaliers’ first possession wide receiver Malcolm Jackson, who had a total of 127 yards, took a handoff 32-yards for a touchdown. On their sec-

ond possession, running back Camajae Peatross, who had 115 rushing yards, outdid Jackson by carrying it 34 yards for a score.

The Cavaliers scored touchdowns on five of their first six offensive drives, led by quarterback Jacob Jones, who threw for 153 yards and two touchdowns.

King William set a pace the Chargers were unable to keep up with. Middlesex struggled to get into a flow on offense throughout the night. Their starting quarterback Marques Holmes injured himself early in the first quarter, and never returned to action.

“It was a bad night,” said Chargers coach Billy Jarvis. “We do not have the people to match up with [King William].”

While the Cavaliers were scoring at will, the Chargers were only able to scrape up two first downs in the first half.

“We heard a rumor that somebody out there for Middlesex was saying that they were the hardest hitting team in the district,” DeHart said. “Our boys took that very personally.”

The Cavaliers’ defense was stingy all night, while players from Middlesex were getting injured left and right. Not only did Holmes go down, but their

backup quarterback Robert Drewry left the game with an injury in the second half and so did running back D’Angelo King.

Due to their lack of depth

it made it difficult for the Chargers to recuperate from the early deficit they faced.

Atlee keeps up momentum with road win at Armstrong

By Jacob Downer For The Mechanicsville Local The Atlee High School Raiders entered Friday night’s game against the Armstrong High School Wildcats as big favorites, having won four in a row by a combined score of 152-42 - including a 70-0 shellacking of Glen Allen last week.

Things didn’t change much at Armstrong Friday night.

against the Springers and not focusing on the Wildcats. The Raiders struggled moving the ball in the first half, and held only a 21-6 advantage after the first two quarters.

“At times tonight, I felt like I didn’t even know if our guys were here. I don’t think we took Armstrong seriously and that led to us making mistakes that we haven’t made all year,” Johnson said. “I hope tonight was just a case of our guys

looking ahead and not taking a good team seriously enough.

Armstrong fought us tough all game long and I hope it taught our guys a lesson about respecting every team you play.”

Dandridge got the Raiders (7-1) on the board first.

Starting on the Atlee 44yard line with a fresh set of first downs, Dandridge took a handoff straight up the heart of the Wildcat defense, using a few shifty moves to race 56 yards

nearly untouched for the score.

Following a successful pointafter attempt, the Raiders held a 7-0 lead with 7:30 left in the first quarter.

The Wildcats committed a crucial, momentum-killing mistake on the ensuing kickoff.

Armstrong’s Kevon Cooley fielded the kick around the 15-yard line and made a few Raiders miss on his return up the sideline. Cooley was well on his way to a touchdown, but

Raider senior Tye Burris hustled down the field and caught up with Cooley inside the 5-yard line, forcing a fumble that went out of the back of the end zone, giving Atlee the ball.

Armstrong (2-6) cut into the Atlee lead thanks to a Raider turnover early in the second quarter.

Patrick Henry succumbs to Eagles’ attack

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Patrick Henry High School’s girls volleyball team proved no match for its visitor.

The Patriots hosted Mills Godwin High School Thursday night, and the Eagles seemed to have their way, sweeping Patrick Henry 3-0 before an often silent home crowd.

The night started out with a strong effort by the Patriots (9-8), who forced Mills Godwin (20-4) into come-from-behind mode before the Eagles clawed their way to a 25-19 victory in the set.

But in the second set, the lack of energy – and noise from Patrick Henry and its supporters – became oppressive as the Patriots never contended en route to a 25-12 loss fueled largely by a 12-0 Mills Godwin run mid-way through the match. “[Mills Godwin] had more fans than us at a home game,” said Patrick Henry coach Billy Farmer. “It’s hard to get up when you’re getting out-cheered at home. … Thursday night’s hard because of JV football. A lot of people go to JV football – a lot of students go to JV football. It’s hard to get them in here.”

Dave Lawrence/The Local

Above, Patrick Henry’s Kayla Hall fires a shot toward the Mills Godwin side of the court in the visiting Eagles’ 3-0 victory over the Patriots Thursday night. Left, Patrick Henry’s Amber Lee (8) puts a Mills Godwin shot in play.

For much of the match, the players were flat footed, as if the lack of energy from the crowd sapped their own.

“When people start cheering, [players] are on the floor, and when it’s quiet, they’re not on the floor,” Farmer said. “If you go to a lot of volleyball games … particularly girls’ volleyball games, you notice that.

The girls really respond to the

crowd.”

Mills Godwin coach Chris Wakefield said the lack of energy infected the Eagles, too.

“I’ll tell you … from the best player on my team, to one of my role-players, I think on our side that none of us showed the kind of energy that I like to see coming into a match like this,” Wakefield said. “We’ve got a week and a half before post-

season starts for us, and this has got to be a time that we have that sense of urgency to push that momentum and get us into postseason.”

In the third-and-final set, the Patriots got off to a slow start, but fought back into contention late into the match, closing to within three points, 23-20, before Mills Godwin put the game away with two straight

points.

But Farmer was pleased with the way the girls rallied back into contention.

“That’s what I really like about this team,” Farmer said.

“I can’t remember who it was earlier this season, but we were down, like, 14-21 and came back and won it. [This] team, they’re never going to quit. When they get it figured out, they’re going

to be good.”

Mills Godwin was led by Brady Brown with eight aces, two kills, 34 assists and three digs; Mackenzie Brewer had nine aces, 12 kills and 10 digs; and Lauren Devlin finished with three aces, four kills and nine digs.

Amber Lee led Patrick Henry with eight kills, five blocks and four digs.

Martin, Confederates keep visiting Hawks at bay

By Josiah Turner For The Mechanicsville Local As always, Hanover High School’s girls’ volleyball team came to the gym prepared for battle. However, Lee-Davis High School refused to allow the pesky Hawks to pull out a victory on its home floor.

In a match that included many twists, the 16-5 Confederates held off the 12-9

Hawks to claim a 3-1 victory last Tuesday.

“Hanover always brings it for sure, they do not ever back down,” said Lee-Davis coach Sharon Gaston. “I knew it was going to be a tough fight against them.”

Other than a quick 5-0 start for Hanover during the first set, Lee-Davis seemed to be in complete control for most of the match. The Confederates

answered the Hawks’ start by scoring nine consecutive points, and eventually won the set 2514.

That momentum carried over to the next set as the Confederates’ athleticism, and disciplined approach, allowed them to take 2-0 lead going into the third game.

After the second game, it seemed the Hanover fans, who offered just as much support as

Lee-Davis’ fans did, were starting to give up on the Hawks’ chance of winning for the night.

But the Hawks rallied to win the third set 25-19.

“In the third game, we talked about just trusting and doing your part,” said Hanover coach Karl Lippa. “Once they started trusting each other, trust is what changed game three.”

Hanover sophomore Leila

Haynesworth, who finished the night with 15 kills, 3 blocks and 7 digs, was a big reason why the Hawks were able to find the energy to creep back into the match.

“She was very passionate today,” said Lippa.

Both teams gave all they had in the fourth set. With the game tied at 22, Gaston called a timeout. Afterward, the Confederates scored three straight points to

finish off the Hawks.

The Confederates were led

by Jordan Martin who finished with 11 kills, 2 blocks and 15 assists; Anna Soroka who had 7 kills, 2 aces, 8 digs and 20 assists; and Chelsea Matthews who had 16 kills, 3 blocks, 2 aces and 6 digs.

The Hawks also got 13 kills and 8 digs from Miranda Hall; and 2 kills, 28 assists, and 7 digs from Kendall Pully.

Pointers claim King William cross country prizes

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com At one time, no one heard of the sport of cross country at West Point High School.

But the Pointers have come a long way, as they demonstrated Wednesday afternoon at King William High School.

The Pointers claimed victories in both the boys’ and girls’ competitions on the Cavaliers’ home course with the Cavaliers finishing second and Middlesex County High School finishing third in both races.

West Point handily won the boys’ race by a score of 27 to 51 for King William and 56 for Middlesex. The Cavaliers gave the Pointers a pretty good run in the girls’ race, just falling behind West Point 31 to 34.

The Chargers again came in third with a score of 67.

Pointers coach John Heath said the program has grown tremendously the past four years.

“We’ve come a long way,” Heath said. “We have many seniors that started four years ago and couldn’t even run 100 yards or 200 yards to running a 5K without stopping to actually competing and again having the confidence to go at it hard. … They’re an inspiration to the

West Point won despite not having the top finishers in either race. Middlesex’s Ridge Ellis won the boys’ race in 18:19.

The Chargers’ Lee Harrow won

the girls’ race in 22:47, although Hailey Reid, an eighth grader at King William’ HamiltonHolmes Middle School, actually finished first in 22:30. (Since she is a junior varsity runner, her finish did not count toward King William’s team or indi-

vidual result.)

King William’s course is a bit unusual for many cross country courses, with segments on the schools track, around athletic fields, around outbuildings and through adjacent woods.

It featured three laps, each of

The Raiders added one more score in the first half, set up by an interception by junior Tramell Carey. McCoy and Stubbs then took turns picking up chunks of yardage, before McCoy finished the drive with an 11-yard touchdown run and

let the Raiders enter the locker room at halftime with some breathing room.

Stubbs added three 1-yard touchdown runs in the second half to distance the Raiders from the Wildcats, the first coming with 1:30 left in the third quarter to make the score 28-6.

“That’s kind of confusing,” Harrow said. “I think [mine] was still a pretty good time, considering that I went a little farther. But I’m pretty happy with it.”

Harrow said the course has other idiosyncrasies.

“It has a lot of hills. They’re pretty steep, too – and lots of roots,” Harrow said. “I mean, there’s stairs and roots, so it’s very, kind of difficult to get around all that. Lot’s of room to trip.”

Her teammate, Ellis, said this year’s changes to the course – which tends to be slower than other courses – helped him because the slopes they now run up tend to be gentler than they would have been if they ran the course in the other direction.

“I actually like it better this year than it has been before,” Ellis said.

King William cross country coach Tom Tupponce was satisfied with the day’s results.

Yellow Jackets reel in Marlins in v-ball sweep

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Randolph-Macon College’s women’s volleyball team had its No. 1 ranking in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference at stake when the Marlins of Virginia Wesleyan College came to Crenshaw Gymnasium Tuesday night.

Despite some tense moments in the first and third sets, the Yellow Jackets successfully defended their position, sweeping Virginia Wesleyan 26-24, 25-14, 25-20.

The Marlins began the evening with a 7-1 run, but the Yellow Jackets fought back into contention with a string of kills

by Tori Puryear and Hillary Jessee to take a 10-7 lead. After that, the set was neck-and neck – tied at 23-all – before Randolph-Macon put it away on kills by Puryear and Katie Rossberg.

“For some reason, we tend to kind of start off slow,” said Puryear, who finished with nine kills and three blocks. “And then it’s almost like it hits us with a wake-up call and we get carried away from there. … I think until we hit that point in our game, the first couple of points are pretty slow.”

Randolph-Macon’s Bailey

The second game was very different from the first. After trading the first few points, the Yellow Jackets (19-6, 10-1 ODAC) steadily pulled away.

Randolph-Macon led throughout the third game, but the Marlins (10-11, 7-4) stayed within striking distance of a win throughout.

“We needed to be a little tougher after the first set and come back and do the same things that we did in the first set,” said Virginia Wesleyan coach Andrea Hoover. “We didn’t do that.”

Virginia Wesleyan was led

by Tiffany Barrett with eight kills, three aces and three blocks.

Second-half goal lifts Hawks to field hockey win over Atlee

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Atlee High School and Hanover High School may no longer contend against one another for Capital District field hockey titles, but their being in different divisions and classes has not diminished the intensity of their rivalry.

Last Monday night, in the final week of regular season-

play, the Raiders and Hawks fought to a standstill in the first half. But Hanover’s Kara Kane found the back of the Atlee net in the opening minutes of the second half to lead the Hawks to a 1-0 victory.

Kane’s goal came in a scramble following a Hanover corner.

“I think it knocked off the goalie’s pads,” Kane said. “And I got it in, I guess. I don’t really remember.”

Hanover coach Sarah Bottorff said the ball ricocheted off Atlee goalkeeper Numa Rehmani’s pads and Kane played the rebound into a game-winning shot.

The Hawks kept Rehmani busy. While she gave up the one goal, she finished with 13 saves to just three for Hanover’s Tori Snyder.

The final 20 minutes were a battle, as both teams battled the

length of the field for a chance to score.

“This is always a fun game – Hanover-Atlee, two schools close together, strong hockey programs. You never know which way it’s going to go,” Bottorff said. “At this point [in the season], it’s whoever takes advantage of the opportunities, and we took advantage of the one that we had.”

Bottorff said that victory

depended on a bit of luck as well as the skill to deal with unexpected – and rapid – developments.

“There is an aspect of luck to that. … There’s no telling which way the ball will bounce and you get a redirect and you have to be ready for that no matter what,” Bottorff said. “That’s something we practice, how to deal with the ball when it doesn’t do what you think it’s going to do.”

Raiders coach Alyssa Farling would have preferred an Atlee win, but she was pleased.

“I prefer competitive, and we’re usually very competitive with this team. It’s always a good game,” Farling said. “Our defense played extremely well tonight, because [they] had ...

I haven’t looked at my stats yet, but I know it’s between 12 or 15 corners, and they only scored once.”

Ex-Atlee standout stays solid at The Mount

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com It was Sunday, Nov. 14, 2010.

The Mount St. Mary’s University women’s basketball team was opening its season at John Paul Jones Arena against the University of Virginia, and The Mount’s Sydney Henderson, a sophomore guard, was having the highest scoring game of her college career: 17 points, with three steals and three rebounds.

But at one point Henderson, a four-year starter at Atlee High School, went up for a shot and noticed something wrong when she came down – her left knee.

Henderson had torn her ACL to end her sophomore season.

But she came back.

Henderson, now a redshirt senior at Mount St. Mary’s, is set to begin her final campaign as a player on a college court. The past two seasons she has developed into one of The Mount’s leaders as well as one of the better players in the Northeast Conference. This year, she hopes to finish as one of the best, and many feel she will be. Last week, she was named to the preseason All-Northeast Conference team.

Things did not look so good immediately after her injury.

“I went backdoor, and when I went up for the shot I felt it pop in my knee and I knew that there was something wrong,” Henderson said. “I always wanted to play, no matter if I’m hurt or not. … I would always play through pain. I knew that this was something more serious.”

Having to sit the bench was traumatic for Henderson, who was rapidly establishing herself as one of The Mount’s key starters.

“I was basically rehabbing for about a whole year,” Henderson said. “It was an emotional rollercoaster, definitely. There were times that I wanted to play and do things that I couldn’t do.”

Sydney Henderson (22), shown above playing for Atlee in 2006, had her college career interrupted by a knee injury in 2010.

Even when the doctor said she was free to play, she still had to wait.

“My doctor cleared me to

play, I think it was in June, but my athletic trainer did not want me to completely play until about August;” Henderson said.

“Preparing for that was tough, because I wanted to play in June, but holding up for those two months definitely helped me, it helped my recovery so much more.”

The physical recovery was important, but the time spent on the bench not able to play helped Henderson become a much better player on several levels.

“It made me appreciate [the game] more, because you never know what can happen, careerending or not,” Henderson said. “I didn’t take the game for granted at all, but being injured helped me understand and just cherish the game more, appreciate it more.”

She got to study it more, too.

“I learned a lot when I sat out, seeing the game from a different perspective,” Henderson

said. “It made me a smarter basketball player. Improving, like, basically every day each year, the coaches helping me to get better, and just working in the off-season and over the summer was what really helped me to be where I’m at today.”

Mount St. Mary’s head coach Bryan Whitten said Henderson has changed quite a bit compared to the kind of player she was pre-injury.

“Pre-injury, she was a super, super player, I mean super athletic, super quick. She could do some great things,” Whitten said. “Post-injury, she’s gotten back there. … So many kids have the injury. They wear the knee brace, and they can’t just plant and go or react in the moment. There’s a little more hesitancy. In the beginning, she had a bit of that, but she’s back to her old self. By the end of [her

comeback] year, she was back to her old self.”

Whitten said Henderson has always been one of his most intelligent players, but the year on the bench helped deepen her understanding of the game.

“She doesn’t just do stuff to do stuff, she understands what’s being done and why it’s being done,” Whitten said. “Her year out, she actually got to hear some of [the coaches’] thought processes on the bench. It’s one thing to go out, and think you’re doing it, but it’s another to be on the bench seeing other people do it … and understand why it’s being done.”

Henderson appeared in 30 games, starting in 24 of them, in her comeback season of 201112. She led the team with 12 points and four rebounds per game, with season highs of 20 points and 12 rebounds along wither first double-double: 19 points and 10 rebounds against Fairleigh Dickinson University.

She made second team AllNEC in the 2012-13 season. She was the only Mount St. Mary’s player to start all 31 games, finishing ninth in the NEC with 13.1 points per game, 10th with 6 points per game and second with 36.81 minutes per game.

She scored a career-high 30 points against Rider University.

Henderson hopes for much more basketball success this year – including, if possible, a Northeast Conference title. She is now working on a master’s in business administration, having graduated last year with a degree in sports management, and expects to finish the MBA this year.

After that, she’s not so sure.

“I always wanted to play basketball in college, so having that opportunity was amazing.”

Henderson said. “Right now I’m still here and I don’t necessarily know what I want to do when I graduate.”

Cancer, your ingenuity is treasured among the people closest to you, but those who do not know you may be unfamiliar with the tricks you have up your sleeve.

Take time to show them.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you may be excited about an upcoming event or getaway, but don’t let your anticipation get the best of you. Remember, you do need to plan and pack.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 It’s time to ditch any bad habits that have been holding you back, Capricorn. Set a new course, with new goals, and those old habits will soon be an afterthought.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Take your upbeat attitude to new heights this week, Taurus. New challenges will emerge in the coming weeks, so find new inspiration and things will go smoothly.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, someone wants to take your relationship to another level, so let this person know you are on the same page. Otherwise, you both may be floundering around for some time.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, embrace a challenge that presents itself this week. No matter the scale of the challenge, you will soon find you’re up to it, and so will those around you.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 A heightened sense of urgency may have you jumping into a situation, Aquarius. But give this situation the careful consideration it deserves. Keep your eyes on the future.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, keep your head on straight over the next week, which figures to be hectic. Cool heads always prevail, and your calm approach will be noticed by others.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, good news awaits on the job this week, even if it is totally unexpected. Nonetheless, it can be exciting to know that someone is watching out for you.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, be open to new experiences, as you do not know when surprises are going to come around the bend. This week may prove to be a real eye-opener.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, now is the time to redirect some of your professional ambitions to your personal life. It’s an effort worth making.

THIS WEEK’S ANSWERS

CLUES ACROSS 1. Cape near Lisbon 5. Chew the fat 9. Time of the 90th meridian 12. 1982 planned city in Israel 13. Vehicle carrying passengers 14. Expression of surprise 15. Long range nuclear weapon 16. 2nd largest Muslim denomination 17. Mad Men’s Draper 18. Spanish artist Salvador 19. S.F. murdered mayor 20. Baby talk fathers 22. Religious discourse 24. Poet Dickinson 25. Emblem stamps 26. Competes 27. 40th state 28. Expects 31. In an ageless way 33. A person in religious orders 34. Pa’s partner 35. Two considered as a unit

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, someone whose opinion matters to you may disagree with you on an important point. Use your powers of persuasion, and both of you will be better for it.
