STOPS AT EVERY HOME IN TOWN

Theater public hearing moved to Dec. 11

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Opponents of a proposed movie theater in Mechanicsville showed up in force at last week’s meeting of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, but they

will have to wait another month to get an answer to their lingering questions regarding the issuance of a Conditional Use Permit.

A public hearing scheduled for Wednesday’s evening session was to precede a board vote

on the controversial subject, but was deferred until the board’s Dec. 11 meeting.

Applicant representative Andy Condlin said he requested the deferral to allow further and requested traffic study figures be completed.

County planning director David Maloney recommended approval of the deferral request.

In addition to the traffic questions, Maloney said the delay has caused further issues for the developer.

“Frankly, there are issues

between the theater group and the landowners that have to be addressed as a result of the deferrals, so staff is recommending both of these cases be deferred,” Maloney said.

Hanover Village LLC also is requesting a special exemption

that would allow an exemption on height restrictions for the new complex.

Community organizer Deb Wetlaufer said she agreed with the deferral, especially since see HEARING, pg. 20

Nonprofit spearheads county winterization repair efforts Hanover County’s Winterization Program efforts are underway, but there is a significant change in the program this year.

For the past 30 years or more, the Hanover County Department of Community Resources has worked with community volunteers to ensure that elderly, low income families and persons with disabilities had a warmer winter.

This year, Hanover’s winterization services will no longer be coordinated by the department or by Hanover County. Instead, the service will be available through a local nonprofit, faith-based organization, Resurrection Disaster Relief (RDR).

RDR will coordinate teams of volunteers to help individuals and families in need of winterization as well as limited home repair for those who are unable to pay for the service themselves, just as had been done in the past by Community Resources.

As always, households are encouraged to contribute what they can to pay for materials whenever possible.

“It has been a pleasure to work with RDR,” Lisa Adkins, Hanover County Community Resources’ administrator, said. “The founder, Chris Chiles, and others on his initial team were active volunteers with the department’s winterization and Volunteer Home Repair Programs. We watched Chris over the past

two years as he made volunteer home repair his calling and created Resurrection Disaster Relief with other dedicated volunteers. Now that there is a full-time volunteer organization that can respond to various health and safety home repair needs as well as address minor winterization efforts, there is a better option for homeowners. Chris is a contractor and has the skills, passion and contacts to leverage resources and make a meaningful impact. We don’t need to duplicate efforts. We are pleased that RDR will be continuing and expanding this service within our community.”

RDR volunteers will be applying plastic over windows, wrapping pipes and weather-stripping doors. If a household has someone who can install the winterization materials, then arrangements can be made for pick-up or delivery of the supplies for qualified households.

Volunteer groups will be conducting their winterization work beginning on Saturday, Nov. 9, as part of a countywide “Mission to Virginia” (a day of service started by the Beaverdam Baptist Church where Chris also is actively involved) and will continue work through mid-December.

To volunteer, make a contribution or request services contact RDR at 1-855-737-4446 or visit www.resurrectiondisasterrelief.org.

emerging issues that could affect the school budget like the Affordable Health Care Act, Virginia Retirement System contributions and changes in funding sources.

The goals were the product of a School Board workshop held in September and a public hearing in early October.

The board also reconsidered a change in personnel policy that would allow teachers to be evaluated for a period of up to five years before a contract is offered.

Revised state standards allow school divisions to utilize the five-year period, but do not require systems to adhere to the new policy.

Hanover’s current guidelines allow for a three-year probationary period.

CharlaCordle,assistantsuperintendent of Human Resources, recommended approval of the proposed changes.

Cordle said she had reviewed the policy with Hanover County Public Schools principals and they endorsed the changes, and added that other school districts in the area are switching to the five-year probationary period.

“We have surveyed other school divisions and determined that a number of options, three and five, are being considered in this region,” Cordle said. “A num-

ing the recommendations of county principals who endorsed the adjustment as a major factor in her decision to approve the change.

The School Board approved the change by 5-2 vote with Lowry and Sulser recording the opposing votes.

In another matter, Dr. Cathy Seal suggested adding two new classes to next year’s offerings for Hanover students, Public Safety I and II. The classes are introductory courses designed as a pathway for students interested in law enforcement, Fire/ EMT and rescue paths of study.

Employees of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office and Fire/EMT would provide instructors for the programs, and would be offered at no cost to the students.

Seal said Sports Medicine II also is slated for the 2014-2015 schedule, and TV Production I is now available at Hanover High School.

In other matters, Cordle said the implementation of the Affordable Healthcare Act would have an impact on some school system employees.

Substitute teachers who are on call on a daily basis will be limited to 29 hours a week and long-term subs are not allowed more than 134 days in a year.

Cordle said the new program would require increased monitoring to ensure compliance.

to promote the district’s ability to evaluate and review new teachers.

Cold Harbor representative Norm Sulser didn’t mince words in his objection. When the proposal was introduced, he voiced concerns and indicated he could “live with a three-” to five-year wording that would allow more flexibility.

“I believe that if a teacher cannot demonstrate their proficiency to teach in three years, let them go. If a principal cannot make a decision in three years, then they should also be let go,” Sulser said Sulser said he didn’t see a reason for the change, and said the current policy has served the system well, for 30 years in his estimation.

Ashland District representative Hank Lowry made a motion to defer action on the matter for another month, but Beaverdam District representative John Axselle moved to bring the matter to a vote.

“I think we’ve beaten this horse to death,” Axselle said.

South Anna District representative Sue Dibble said the new policy might have some positive consequences in that some teachers would have the extra time to hone their skills.

“We could potentially lose someone who could become a good teacher,” Dibble said.

She also said she was accept-

ber of divisions have gone with a five-year probationary period.”

She said area principals affirmed that the change would expand their opportunity to evaluate and make final decisions.

“In speaking with some of our principals in our school division, I have learned that, for many teachers, their greater concern is not the extension of the probationary periods, but the concern that temporary contracts will be continued,” Cordle said.

She indicated that it is her understanding that temporary contracts, a cost saving measure instituted during the economic downturn, are slated for elimination.

“In addition, the increase from three to five years will give principals more time to observe and evaluate our teachers prior to moving forward with continuing contract status,” Cordle said.

Superintendent Jamelle Wilson likened the probationary period to a “dating period,” and the new legislation is designed to enhance a system’s ability to evaluate new teachers. “It allows us to be certain of that continuing contract and that long-term relationship we would getting into.”

School Board chairman Robert Hundley, Chickahominy District, said a continuing contract is somewhat like tenure, and the new legislation seeks

OPINION | The Local Views

LETTERS

From the editor

Nov. 22, 1963: a day we will never forget “The President has been assassinated! The President has been assassinated!” The repeated and tearful outburst of the elementary school custodian are still embedded in this writer’s memory 50 years later.

As a 7-year-old second grader, the emotion was obvious and alarming.

Fortunately, the teacher reacted immediately, racing out into the long corridor that echoed with those five unforgettable words.

Daisy, the custodian who was known by all the children on a first-name basis, alerted all the classrooms to the news that rocked our nation on that November day. Assassinated? What had happened to President Kennedy?

We had the benefit of being in the care of a woman who epitomized the best in being a teacher. Mrs. Adkins (even when I reached adulthood, she remained Mrs. Adkins — it’s a matter of respect) carefully, while mustering a remarkable calmness, explained to the young students that President John F. Kennedy had been killed.

Despite being a child, the events of the following days were surreal. We watched the magic of the “Camelot” administration come to a tragic end.

We saw a toddler salute his father’s flag-draped coffin as the procession made its way through the streets of Washington, D.C. We also were witness to the shooting death of the accused gunman.

Fifty years later, that day doesn’t seem so long ago. It remains one of those moments ingrained in our memories. You know, those events that you say “I remember what I was doing when . . .”

When he was campaigning for the top office in the United States, he included a visit to Logan, W.Va., my hometown. His brother Bobby followed suit when he was on the campaign trail for the presidency in 1968.

Although his time as leader of the world’s greatest nation was brief, the man known as JFK continues to inspire us.

And, as he said on Jan. 20, 1961, in his inaugural speech, “And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” In a time of political turmoil, we should heed these words as we remember JFK and his legacy.

Special 250th anniversary re-enactment to be presented On Dec. 1, 1763, Patrick Henry stepped from obscurity into the forefront of legal and political circles in Virginia.

On that date in Hanover County he challenged the two most powerful entities in Colonial Virginia: the king and the clergy. His stirring argument in favor of self-rule planted the seed of revolutionary fervor in the citizens of Virginia.

The case came to be known as The Parsons’ Cause.

The Parsons’ Cause Foundation Inc. was established in 2004 for the purpose of promoting the historical importance of The Parsons’ Cause.

On Sunday, Dec. 1, 2013, the Foundation will present a special 250th anniversary re-enactment of the trial.

The re-enactment will take place at 2 p.m. at the Historic Hanover Courthouse, the same structure in which Patrick Henry argued the original case in 1763.

A reception will follow the re-enactment at St. Paul’s Episcopal Church, just north of the courthouse.

Tickets for this historic event are $50/person.

Space is limited so send in your check soon. Make your check payable to “The Parsons’ Cause Foundation Inc.” and mail it to The Parsons’ Cause Foundation Inc., P.O. Box 364, Mechanicsville, VA 23111-0364. (Please note “December 1 Tickets” on your check.)

Board of Supervisors’ theater deferral welcomed Dozens people were in attendance on Wednesday, Nov. 13, as the Hanover Board of Supervisors held a public hearing on the Conditional Use Permit for the proposed theater.

The board considered a request by the applicant to delay the vote until December.

In considering that request, board chairman Canova Peterson (Mechanicsville District) indicated that a review of the traffic analysis by the Virginia Department of Transportation and independent traffic engineers KimleyHorn & Associates Inc. generated recommendations for further study.

Neither Peterson nor planning director David Maloney specified what recommendations were made.

Maloney also reported that there were “contractual” considerations of some nature that needed to be resolved.

The applicant’s request for deferral was approved by the board. The public hearing on the proposal is rescheduled

for 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 11.

We continue to discourage the approval of this project because it is simply not compatible with the location and will have detrimental impacts on the surrounding community.

However, the board seems inclined to approve the project, and, if that is the case, then they must fulfill their duty to include conditions in the permit that will mitigate any negative impacts the theater might have on the community.

After all, the purpose of the Conditional Use Permit is to protect the land rights of the property owners in the vicinity of the theater.

Therefore, we applaud this deferral and hope that it will allow the county and the Board of Supervisors time to consider not only the traffic study, but also a number of other issues that should be included in the Conditional Use Permit.

A review of the permits for theaters in Henrico County shows that they have included many stringent conditions in their permits related to security, post-midnight movies, storm water and drainage, parking and other issues.

We hope that the board will look to our neighbors who have more experience with movie theaters and update the Conditional Use Permit to include many of the same conditions.

Detailed recommendations have been discussed in our Position Statement, which can be found on our website at http://hanoverliving.org/documents/.

HHS, OKMS launch new theater venture Elise Boyd has years of experience under her belt in show business, and not just on stage.

Boyd, who most recently was managing director at the Sycamore Rouge Professional Theatre Company in Petersburg, said she aims to use her professional experience to turn the theater program at Hanover High School and Oak Knoll Middle School into more than just a drama club. “We call it the Hanover Theatre Company instead of Hanover High School Theater,�

Boyd said. “It’s more of a community theater group that’s performed by students. The idea is to create a theater company that’s housed within a school.�

Boyd, who started teaching at the schools this fall, is wrapping up rehearsals with students for “As You Like It,� an adaptation of the Shakespeare classic with plenty of laughs and a modern twist.

According to Boyd, the students from her middle school program are benefiting from the partnership with the high school.

High school students help out in middle school classes and rehearsals, and middle school students are invited to rehearsals to see the more advanced techniques their older counterparts are learning, like stage combat. “We’re trying to put together a big program that spans grades 6 to 12,� Boyd said. “It’s really challenging and super fun.�

In addition to her theater duties at both schools, Boyd is teaching a film class at the high school.

Boyd said she’s excited to return to teaching.

Virginia, foster care adoption has been a priority of Gov. Bob McDonnell’s Administration.

In May from the front steps of the Executive Mansion, Gov. McDonnell announced “Virginia Adopts: Campaign for 1,000.”

The goal of the initiative was simple: To match 1,000 children in Virginia’s foster care system with permanent families.

During this past legislative session Gov. McDonnell and the Virginia General Assembly appropriated $1.5 million in new funding dedicated to recruiting families and aimed at post adoption services.

Additionally, the campaign launched a social media strategy, hosted workshops to educate the public, and attracted media interest in every major market across the Commonwealth.

To date, more than 880 children who were eligible for adoption have been either adopted or matched to families knowledgeable of the child’s needs and committed to follow through to adopt.

Included in this number are 16 of the 20 longest waiting youth, one of which was in the foster care system for 16 years and was waiting for an adoptive family for the past 14 years.

This is great progress and speaks to the success of the

governor’s campaign which has brought a new spotlight to the issue of foster care adoption.

Going forward, we must maintain the commitment Gov. McDonnell has made to our foster care children.

In Virginia, a child becomes eligible for adoption in our foster care system each day.

Children who age out of the foster care system without being adopted do not have a family to go home to for Thanksgiving, no one to walk them down the aisle, or to be there for them when they have families of their own.

You can provide that family.

If you are interested in adopting out of Virginia’s Foster Care System, please visit VirginiaAdopts.Virginia.Gov or call Virginia’s Adoption Hotline at 800-DO-ADOPT. You have the opportunity to make a difference in the life of one of these children.

There is no better time than now!

continuous war, massive debt, unprecedented borrowing and printing of money, corruption and lobbyist everywhere, government shutdown, government wire tapping and spying on American citizens and IRS targeting to name a few, it is going to very difficult on the next generation.

Maybe the time has come for congress to change out the Obama Administration so we can have some real honest hope for the next generation.

Please pray for America and remember to always vote.

William Winfrey Mechanicsville

Seeking delay in mandate If 40 million Americans who are supposedly uninsured don’t have health insurance by Jan. 1, they will be fined. But they can’t sign up.

The ObamaCare website is broken!

If the Obama Administration can’t fix it in time, Americans will pay billions of dollars in tax penalties.

How can the Obama Administration require Americans to have health insurance when the administration makes it impossible to buy health insurance?

This is a breach of trust with the American people.

Even worse, news reports

show the Obama Administration knew its websites wouldn’t work but refused to delay the mandate, simply for political reasons.

It’s unfair to penalize Americans when they can’t even comply with the law.

The demand of “We the People” is simple: Delay the mandate.

Don’t penalize Americans when they can’t comply with Obama Administration demands. Otherwise, this is downright tyranny!

Jenna Hawk Mechanicsville

IRS must be accountable The IRS must be held accountable.

This powerful and feared federal agency is rife with scandals from mismanagement, fraud, lawlessness and the oppression of the American people. It has been turned into the bully squad of the Obama Administration.

Now they’re tasked with the enforcement of ObamaCare — to collect revenue and to make sure that you and I are in compliance with the law.

I can’t imagine a more unpalatable concept for the freedomloving American people.

The IRS must be stopped!

Leader in veterans’ memorial addresses ceremony Since 2007, the Hanover Veterans Memorial on U.S. 301 has served as a gathering place for the nation’s many retired servicemen, their families and an appreciative community.

It’s a quiet place to remember and reflect on the sacrifices made by this nation’s men and women in uniform, a mission that continues on foreign soil across the globe.

Air Force Brig. Gen. William C. Jones was instrumental in

the construction of the memorial, serving as chairman during the all important fundraising and construction aspects of the project.

“He did a lot to lead us along the way,” said host Jack Ward, also a founding father of the memorial.

Jones returned to the site last week for Hanover County’s annual Veterans Day celebration, an event that draws citizens from all walks of life and all ages.

“It’s an honor for me to be here and say a few words about

Veterans Day,” Jones said.

He also acknowledged and praised the many hours of effort contributed to make the Hanover Veterans Memorial a reality.

“A decade or so ago, Jack Ward and John Gordon were members of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors,” Jones said. “They decided that the county needed a permanent memorial. They wanted a group of local citizens to work on a project and established the Jim Ridolphi for The Local Hanover Veterans Memorial Sean Davis, left, vice chairman and Henry District representative Committee.”

The

CARPENTER THEATRE AT RICHMOND CENTERSTAGE

on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, took a moment to pose with “Patrick Henry” during the Veterans Day ceremony on Nov. 11 at Hanover Wayside Park.

Jones described the process that involved hundreds of county volunteers, Parks and Recreation, county staff and others in making the dream a

reality.

He referenced the more than 1,400 bricks that commemorate those who served.

“I would like to emphasize that every name represents families and numerous friends,” Jones said.

Ward said the event grows each year. “It seems we have more and more people each year at these events. I think that’s great,” he said.

VFW Post 9808 presented arms and offered a rifle salute along with the playing of taps, while Post 175 laid a memorial wreath at the foot of the monument.

The Atlee JROTC Air Force displayed a solemn flag ceremony and presented the folded result to Jones.

The event is sponsored annually by the Hanover County Department of Parks

Legislators touch on healthcare and other goals for 2014 session

By Jodi Deal jdeal@mechlocal.com When the Virginia General Assembly convenes in January 2014, the Senate will be split between an equal number of Republicans and Democrats, the Republicans will outnumber Democrats 68-32 in the House of Delegates, and a new governor, Terry McAuliffe, a Democrat, will take the reins from outgoing Republican Gov. Bob McDonnell.

State Sens. Ryan McDougle, R-4 (Mechanicsville), and Donald McEachin, D-9 (Henrico), each of whom represent portions of Hanover County, along with Del. Chris Peace, R-97 (Hanover), outlined diverse legislative agendas at a Nov. 14 meeting of the Hanover Business Council at Randolph-Macon College.

The Hanover Business Council is a division of the Greater Richmond Chamber of Commerce.

McEachin and McDougle both acknowledged the importance of bipartisan talks and cooperation in the upcoming session, but offered very different opinions on an issue they both identified as key:

“I feel like we need to leave local government alone. We have other tools in our toolbox.”

SEN. DONALD McEACHIN D-9 (Henrico)

proposed expansions of Medicare as part of the Affordable Healthcare Act, known commonly as “ObamaCare.”

“I feel it’s the right thing to do,” McEachin said, noting that the expansion could help provide healthcare to anywhere from 200,000 to 400,000 Virginians.

He also said that the increased business in hospitals could have a positive impact on jobs, and could make a big difference in rural areas like far Southwest Virginia, which he said is desperately in need.

McDougle, on the other hand, expressed concerns about how those expansions could hit Virginia in the pocketbook, at a time when other expensive decisions are

State Sen. Donald McEachin, left, D-9 (Henrico); Del. Chris Peace, R-97 (Hanover); and Ryan McDougle, R-4 (Mechanicsville); outlined diverse legislative agendas at Thursday’s breakfast meeting of the Hanover Business Council at Randolph-Macon College.

coming online.

Virginia has to make larger contributions to get the Virginia Retirement System fiscally stable – to the tune of $300 million this year.

The state also faces $15 million in costs associated with implementing an agreement between Virginia and the U.S. Department of Justice to close the state’s mental health training centers and integrate the facilities’ former residents back into the community.

If Virginia takes on hundreds of thousands of new Medicare participants, the federal government will provide full reimbursement for the cost of those individuals for the first two years, McDougle explained.

After that, the contribution will drop to 90 percent. What’s not known, he said, is if or when the contributions for the additional Medicare recipients will drop to the 58 percent reimbursement level the state receives for its current Medicare recipients.

“Either way, it will cost Virginians more,” McDougle said.

With a new governor [Democrat Terry McAuliffe] coming in, McDougle said he will continue to support legislation he has sponsored in the past that would change the budget creation cycle.

One of the last duties of an outgoing governor is to prepare a proposed budget, with the commonwealth’s new top governmental officer evaluating it and proposing changes. The negotiations that follow are often complicated and can be contentious,

McDougle added.

“Any new governor, regardless of party, is at a disadvantage coming into the process,” McDougle said.

As for a matter of particular interest to local government officials and business leaders, McEachin said that he will not support any repeal of business, professional and occupational license tax laws unless a revenue source is found to replace the income such a repeal would eliminate.

“I feel like we need to leave local government alone,” McEachin said. “We have other tools in our toolbox.”

Peace said he hopes legislators can either enhance what businesses are trying to do to be successful or get out of the way.

He told the crowd he and other members of the House Finance Committee will soon start getting early budget materials, including a report on where each county falls in the state’s composite index ranking.

Peace outlined a number of educational agendas, including supporting early childhood development and early intervention initiatives. He also pledged support for career and technical education.

“The way the economy has impacted the job landscape, career and technical education has never been more important,” Peace said. He added that educators across the state are working hard to end the stigma associated with trades training, see LEGISLATORS, pg. 19

Ashland holiday parade to be held Sunday Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com The Ashland Olde Time Holiday Parade, described as “a cherished tradition ushering in the busy Thanksgiving and Christmas season,” is scheduled to get underway at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 24.

and suggested that a career and technical education governor’s school could be an “interesting concept.”

As for higher education, tuition costs continue to rise, but families aren’t making more money, Peace said. That calls for extra help, especially for middle class families, he added.

Peace told the group he plans to introduce legislation that will try to connect families with data from the State Council on Higher Education for Virginia on earning potential for degree tracks before students incur debt.

Pets of the Week Photos submitted by Andrew Q. Hodnett

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has two wonderful pets available to a good home. “Emily,” 334633, is a 3-year-old female canine/hound.

She has been spayed and is up-to-date on all her vaccines.

She is heartworm negative. Emily is a very playful little girl.

She loves to run around and play with the other dogs. She will do best in a household with a big yard to run around in. The parakeets and lovebird, 336448, 336452 and 336454, are 1 year old and their sexes are not known. These three birds came from the same household. They are very friendly and make a very minimal mess in their cage.

They would love to go to the same house together. For more information on these great pets, as well as the many more still in need of homes at the Hanover County Pound Facility, call 804-365-6485 during the day. The hours are 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Among the favorites every year are the Ronald McDonald float, beauty pageant winners and high school homecoming

queens, as well as the equestrian units.

There will be five of these mounted groups and the Rusty Stirrups Riding Club will bring 20 horses and riders.

The leading unit in the parade is the Ashland Police Color Guard followed by Col. David R. Hines, sheriff of Hanover County, and Douglas Goodman, chief of the Ashland Police Department.

been expanded due to space needs with the addition of two new judges in Hanover County last summer.

The existing two court facilities were constructed in 1976 and as limited area for felony jury assembly and the courtrooms need ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) modifications, among other issues. An additional basement courtroom also has become overcrowded.

“It’s my understanding our current courts building is out of compliance with current safety and security requirements,” Chickahominy District supervisor Angela Kelly-Wiecek said.

County administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. said those concerns are legitimate, and Budesky said the situation is not improving.

“Space constraints have pressured these court buildings,” Budesky said.

“There are specific reasons why we are bringing this project back at this time,” Budesky said.

ment. He also has received his clinical pastoral education certification.

At 17, he was the youth member of the session of the Presbyterian Church where he grew up. When he was 18, his pastor and session asked for an exception and Salyers was elected by the congregation as a full voting member of the session. He said that experience has given him a longstanding knowledge of the inner workings of the local church.

He also has a theatrical and musical background. He has trained classically and plays the drums.

Salyers said he brings unity of purpose to what can be done.

low for taking on capital construction, and space constraint.

We have outgrown our existing facilities,” Budesky said. “Quite honestly, space constraints have pushed us even further this year.”

The plan calls for a 108,000square-foot state-of-the-art facility that would facilitate the county’s current needs and address future space concerns.

The new courthouse would be located behind and adjacent to the current Sheriff ’s Office.

It would be two stories with a basement.

“The financing strategy for the courthouse project is based on the board’s debt service savings plan that was established for capital needs,” Seay said.

“This would not require us to use operational dollars, but we would be working within the capacity of the $20.4 million that you that has been our high over the last two years.”

The financing allows for a reserve fund for future county and school capital needs and does not exceed the total outstanding debt of $152 million in fiscal year 2013.

“The financing options we’ve

discussed do not anticipate requiring any additional operational funds to be used as was the intent with the board’s debt service savings plan,” Seay said.

“The debt would not exceed his previous highs.”

No additional taxpayer revenues would be required to finance the project.

Budesky said using the debt fund would allow the county to finance the project without affecting operational funds.

“The courthouse project is the county’s top expansion need.”

The project could be completed by 2017.

“This is a schedule we believe can be met,” Budesky said.

Supervisors seemed receptive to the idea, and appeared anxious to relaunch the discussion of a long overdue and needed project.

“This has been an ongoing situation for a number of years.

It was almost a go a few years back. It’s the right time to at least go forward with a public hearing,” said Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley, Beaverdam District.

The board unanimously approved the request.

Cheatham, Hanover run over Truckers

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com PORTSMOUTH – Hanover High School did not act like an underdog against No. 6seed Churchland High School Friday night.

The Hawks, seeded No. 11 in the Virginia High School League Region 4A South football playoffs, face a hard road – a lot of time on the road, at least – in their campaign for the first Group 4A title under the VHSL’s new reclassification scheme.

Despite the long bus ride, Hanover had more than enough energy to pounce on the Truckers for two touchdown lead in the first quarter and hold on for a 28-13 victory.

“It feels outstanding,” said Hanover head coach Derek Stoudt. “The kids played their hearts out. You couldn’t ask for a better game from the kids.

allowing Hanover to control space and time.

“We controlled the clock in the second half,” Stoudt said.

“We really controlled the line of scrimmage, both sides of the ball. … We wanted to attack them downhill. We thought we had the advantage on the lines and we wanted to exploit that.

We were all right with 5 yards and a cloud of dust.

“No matter how many people they put in there, we just said this is what we’re going to do. This is our identity. We knew the plays we could run well and we just kept running them.”

Stoudt said the Hawks never wavered in their vision in practice last week.

“Their focus this week Dave Lawrence/The Local was outstanding,” Stoudt said.

Hanover’s Jalen Elliott flies into the end zone for the Hawks’ final touchdown in their 28-13 victory over host Churchland Friday.

“They saw another season, getting into the playoffs, as kind Everything we’ve asked them to Christian Unger for a 19-yard passing. Running back Clayton touchdown on a 1-yard run.

But the Hawks line – both of like a rebirth. They wanted touchdown pass to put the Cheatham led Hanover with do they’ve done.”

Underdog Nottoway ousts King William from 2A playoffs

By Josiah Turner For The Mechanicsville Local The No. 11-seed Nottoway High School came into the night as underdogs against sixth-seeded King William High School Friday. The Cougars used that underdog mentality to their

advantage against their hosts as they defeated the Cavaliers 21-12.

King William fans could sense from the start that there was something ominous brewing, as the Cavaliers seemed to lack their usual spark. Their first possession ended with runs for

losses on first and second down, an incomplete pass on third down and a punt.

It allowed Nottoway to get right down to business with its power run game. The Cougars rushed for 277 yards on the night and controlled the clock.

“We knew that if we could

contain them and keep the ball in our hands, and grind it on them, that it would be to our favor,” said Nottoway head coach Grayson Throckmorton.

Junior running backs Jujuan Lawson and Darrius Jones led the way for the Cougars, combining for 224 of Nottoway’s

rushing yards. Lawson scored two touchdowns as well.

“They run the ball, and that clock runs,” said King William coach Dylan DeHart.

Nottoway (6-5) was efficient on offense, and held up on defense. King William (8-3) put together a few long drives that

failed to end in points. Of the Cavaliers’ 12 points, one of those scores came on a 79-yard punt return by Malcolm Jackson.

King William’s offense, which is usually high-powered, was only able to generate six

Meadowbrook answered early in the second quarter as senior Terrelle Whitaker scampered 58 yards for the score but a missed PAT kept the Raiders ahead by one at 7-6.

Atlee gets a rematch with No. 3-seed Douglas Freeman High School – the only team to beat the Raiders so far this season – this Friday. Freeman took three overtimes to slip past Manchester High School 48-47 Friday.

By Thomas C. Dozier for The Mechanicsville Local Atlee High School is a team that possesses two future Division 1 players on its offensive line in Alec Eberle (Florida State) and Nick Clarke (Old Dominion).

So after a sluggish first half for the Raiders’ offense, Atlee turned to its strength.

The No.2-seeded Raiders rode its front five of Clarke, Eberle, Austin Cannon, C. J. Tilton and Scott McCombs to score 16 unanswered points in the second half en route to a 23-6 win over visiting No.7 Meadowbrook High School in the first round of the Group 5A South playoffs Friday.

The line play was so efficient that it not only allowed running backs Loumond Dandridge and Lamont Stubbs to combine for 114 rushing, but also kept the ball away from the Monarchs.

Dandridge, a 5-foot-8, 160pound junior, finished with a game-high 74 yards. Stubbs, a 5-9, 189 senior, ended with 41 yards.

Atlee senior quarterback Reid McCoy also benefitted from the stout front five, throwing for 118 yards on an 11-for18 effort. McCoy carried the ball 14 times in the second half as the Raiders ran out the clock.

points on the night.

“Our offense fought hard… but, sometimes it just doesn’t bounce your way,” DeHart said.

The Cavaliers were hurt by some adverse calls. With Nottoway leading 14-6 going into halftime, DeHart thought he’d catch the Cougars off-guard by starting the third quarter with an onside kick and a shift

McCoy 20-minus 5.

“The defense had done its job in the first half,” said Atlee coach Roscoe Johnson. “But the offense came out flat and we didn’t play Atlee football. So I went and had a little talk with them at halftime and told them we wanted to pound the football

because that is what we do best.

That is Atlee football.”

Message received, message delivered.

The line play in the second half allowed the Raiders (10-1) to hold the ball for long periods of time. In fact, Meadowbrook

(6-5) ran only four offensive plays in the third quarter. Plus, the Monarchs were hurt by 15 penalties for 98 yards on the night.

After both teams faltered on their first two possessions, Atlee was able to get on the score-

board.

The Raiders’ Chalin Fairly recovered a fumble with a little more than two minutes to go in the first quarter. On the next play, McCoy hit Daniel Glymph down the left side for a 39-yard touchdown. Ryan Molin, who

in momentum King William’s way. While the Cavaliers recovered the ball, the officials did not think the ball traveled the required 10 yards and flagged King William for illegal procedure. Nottoway got the ball instead.

“I’m not afraid to take the risk,” said DeHart. “I called an onside kick, I think we get it, but we didn’t.”

The call wasn’t the only thing that did not go King William’s way in the third quarter. On a

scramble on the Cavaliers’ first offensive play of the third quarter, quarterback Jacob Jones was stripped of the ball by Nottoway’s Chadea Davis, who recovered the fumble and returned it for a 30-yard touchdown.

“It’s a situation where we teach and preach all the time, gang tackling,” Throckmorton said. “But if you’re not the first two that’s there, the third person we always try to hunt for the football, and that time it paid off for us.”

That gave the Cougars a comfortable 21-6 lead, and put the Cavaliers on the ropes.

However, King William was not going to go down easy. As the fourth quarter began, Jones was able to find Jackson for an 11-yard touchdown, which cut the lead to 21-12. DeHart decided to go for the 2-point conversion, but the Cavaliers failed to make it.

“I thought, you know, I just got to stick with my gut and go for it, and, it didn’t work out,”

said DeHart.

King William now faced the prospect of having to score twice in order to tie or win the game, and Nottoway, with their runheavy offense, didn’t allow the Cavaliers time to do so.

Nottoway advances to the quarterfinals of the Region 2A East playoffs, where they will face third-seed Brunswick (92).

“They’re big, and very athletic. … They used to be in the division with us so

we’re very well versed with them,” Throckmorton said of Brunswick. “Monday we’ll be back to business.”

Yellow Jackets fall inches short of ODAC title

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com With 95 seconds left in The Game, all Randolph-Macon needed was a yard and a half to tie visiting Hampden-Sydney and send the 119th installment of one of college football’s oldest rivalries into overtime – a yard and a half to keep the Yellow Jackets’ hopes for the 2013 Old Dominion Athletic Conference championship alive.

All Randolph-Macon needed was a 2-point conversion. Will McGhee tried a run off-tackle, fell short, but a facemask penalty on the Tigers gave the Yellow Jackets another chance from 41/2 feet out. McGhee got the ball again, but only managed about a yard as Hampden-Sydney held on for a 28-26 victory and the ODAC title.

The Tigers (8-2, 6-1 ODAC) advance to the NCAA Division III playoffs. The Yellow Jackets (7-3, 5-2) begin planning for next year.

Randolph-Macon should not have needed the 2-point conversion for a tie, much less a win.

“We didn’t make enough plays,” said Randolph-Macon coach Pedro Arruza. “We had a lot of opportunities.”

Three lost opportunities in particular doomed the Yellow Jackets. The first was a blocked fieldl goal with 10:42 remaining in the first half. The second was a missed extra point with 5:55 in the third quarter, and the last was field goal that scudded a bit to the right with 2:27 left in the third quarter.

Randolph-Macon’s struggles marred an otherwise stellar effort by Yellow Jacket running back Will McGhee, who carried the ball 38 times for 198 yards. One of those was a 66yard touchdown run that gave McGhee a Randolph-Macon record for rushing yards in a season. By the time the game

was over, he had earned 1,676 yards to break 1,551 set by Zak Thornton’s 2007 record of 1,551 yards.

McGhee’s 2-yard touchdown run with 1:35 left in the game gave him 16 rushing touchdowns this season, besting Remon Smith’s record of 15 set in 1986.

But the game was ultimately won by good defense – which was plentiful throughout the game. Hampden-Sydney had 88 tackles to Randolph-Macon’s 75. Randolph-Macon picked up five turnovers – three on interceptions and two on fumbles – which the Tigers only picked up two on interceptions.

“It was back-and-forth the

whole time,” said HampdenSydney linebacker (and former Atlee standout) Josh Doggett.

“It’s always that way when we play Macon no matter what our records are. We always play each other tough.”

No team seemed able to keep an advantage for long.

The teams traded touchdowns through the first half.

Hampden-Sydney opened the game with a eight play, 57 yard drive capped by Nash Nance’s 10-yard run. Paul Boydoh’s kick made it 7-0 with 12:30 left in the first quarter.

The Yellow Jackets tied it three possessions later on a sevenplay, 39-yard drive that culminated in John Byrd’s 1-yard run.

Clint Herrmann’s kick evened the score 7-7 with 4:19 left, but Hampden-Sydney responded immediately with an eight-play, 91-yard drive that ended in a 6-yard run by Nash. Boydoh added another extra point to give the Tigers a 14-7 lead with 55 seconds remaining in the quarter.

Randolph-Macon’s next drive ended in an interception early in the second quarter, and the Tigers’ ensuing drive ended in a turnover on downs. The Yellow Jackets needed just one play – McGhee’s 66 yard run – and a good kick by Herrmann to tie the game at 14-all with 13:00 left in the half.

After several possessions

– including one RandolphMacon drive that ended with the blocked field goal – the Yellow Jackets went ahead on a seven play, 53-yard drive in which Naccarato connected with wide receiver Greg Petrohovich open for a 46-yard touchdown pass. This time, however, the extra-point attempt went wide and Randolph-Macon was left with just a 20-14 lead with 5:55 remaining in the half.

The Tigers took less than two minutes to make RandolphMacon pay for the missed extra point. Nance found receiver Horton Walker open for a 24yard touchdown pass. Again Boydoh’s kick was good, and Hampden-Sydney took a 21-20

The Mechanicsville Local

lead into the half.

Both teams struggled to get their offenses going in the second half, but the Yellow Jackets were in a position to score again on another field goal attempt with 2:27 left in the third quarter. As with the previous extra point attempt, the kick went wide.

Hampden-Sydney managed a touchdown mid-way through the fourth quarter on Nance’s third scoring run of the day.

Again, Boydoh converted the extra point to give the Tigers a 28-20 lead.

Randolph-Macon had 7:31 left to catch up with the Tigers.

The Yellow Jackets ground out both distance and time, taking 11 plays to move 62 yards and score on McGhee’s 2-yard run.

But because of the earlier missed extra point, they had to go for two.

“It was the same play they ran to score the actual touchdown,” Doggett said. “They beat me the first time. The second time, Tyler Ikwild, our middle linebacker, just made an excellent fill – stopped them before the line, won us the ball game. It was an excellent play.”

Hampden-Sydney coach Marty Favret said the game was only for the tough.

“There weren’t a whole lot of boys out there. That was a man’s game,” Favret said. “It was a heavyweight fight back-andforth.”

Mountain View overwhelms Confederates

By Michael Schoeffel sports@mechlocal.com It may have been an unseasonably warm November afternoon at the SportsPlex in Virginia Beach, but no one on the Lee-Davis sideline would have mistaken it for a leisurely day at the beach.

The Confederates, who were playing in the first state semifinal match in the program’s history, fell 7-0 to a well-coached Mountain View squad that was seemingly immune to fatigue and allergic to failure.

“We don’t see that good of competition in the Richmond area,” said head coach Courtney Jones. “They were on an entirely different level.”

Mountain View’s Olivia Hubert scored less than three minutes into the first half. That goal gave the proverbial boulder its initial shove down the mountain. That boulder would continue to gather momentum after each Mountain View score, until, eventually, it was tumbling at full speed and taking out everything in its path.

At half-time, the Wildcats led 4-0. Ten minutes into the second half, they were up 6-0. LeeDavis didn’t put a shot on goal until 9:46 in the second half.

When the final buzzer sound-

ed, the Wildcats had won 7-0.

The boulder had been stopped, but only by time.

Still, coach Jones – who gave her players heartfelt hugs at the conclusion of the contest – remained focused on the positive.

“It’s like I told my girls, there are 48 teams [in Group 5A], so

the field hockey program was still in its adolescence. Over the past five years, Jones has watched them grow – both as players and as people – and, despite the less than ideal ending, last Saturday’s semifinal match served as the culmination of that maturation process.

HANOVER

The Truckers (8-3) scored again in the third quarter on a 19-yard pass from quarterback Malik Sexton to wide receiver Lorenzo Cherry, but their point-after attempt failed.

“We played hard,” said Churchland head coach Alonzo Ricks Jr. “But we just didn’t make enough plays tonight to get it done.”

Hanover quickly responded with another touchdown, however, grinding the ball down field and scoring on Jalen

Elliott’s 1-yard leap into the end zone.

“I’m so proud of these kids,” Stoudt said. “They didn’t flinch.

They didn’t see themselves as underdogs any time in this game.”

for us to reach the final four is an incredible accomplishment.

I’m extremely proud of the way they competed today, especially the seniors.”

Jones’ attachment to this year’s group of seniors is particularly strong because they began playing under her as eighth graders in 2008, when

The seniors, in numerical order, are Abby Myers, Harper Matthews, Madison Angus, Lana Ferguson, Allie Butler, Cameron Gibson, Madison Doss, Jennifer Ladd, Liz Lowery and Courtney Gosslin. With their departure, Jones is now faced with the task of motivating the younger lot of players to carry the torch of success into the future.

“We’ve laid a very good foundation here that we can build on,” she said. “We now have a clear vision for this program that wasn’t all that obvious before. Now that we know what we can accomplish, the

sky really is the limit.”

Jones was the main catalyst in the creation of the Lee-Davis field hockey program. It plays its inaugural match in the fall of 2006, and for the first six years of its existence it failed to advance to the state tournament. This year’s team created a winning model that future Confederates can refer to for inspiration.

As coach Jones said, the 2013 Lee-Davis field hockey team clarified a vision that before was somewhat foggy. Now that the path is clear. Future success seems not only possible, but probable.

Atlee’s Hall finishes third in state 5A meet

By Jordan Bondurant Richmond Times-Dispatch THE PLAINS — Mills Godwin, Deep Run and Midlothian won state titles on the first day of the 2013 Virginia High School League cross country meet at Great Meadow on Friday.

Atlee’s Nathaniel Hall finished third in the Group 5A boys’ race.

The Mills Godwin girls and Deep Run boys found themselves at the top of the podium after the Group 5A meet. The Eagles won in convincing fashion. The Wildcats won by four points.

“It’s been 43 years in the making for me,” Godwin coach Kemper Towler said. “But it’s still really exciting.

“I’m proud of all the girls and how hard they’ve worked.”

“It’s an emotional feeling,” Deep Run head coach Drew Spicer said.

“It just confirmed all the hard work we’ve put into this season.”

Midlothian won its fifth

boys cross country state title by taking the Group 4A championship.

“It’s a blessing and an honor to be able to make it to the state meet and win it,” long-

time coach Stan Morgan said.

“Everybody stepped up and did what they needed to do. When you have guys like this who work hard every day and buy into the system, it makes every-

thing easy.”

Katharine Benfer led the charge for Mills Godwin.

Benfer, a senior, entered the meet confident she could win her first state championship, but

she knew she still had to run.

Benfer made it look easy, crossing the finish line in 18 minutes, 23 seconds to take the victory, 22 seconds ahead of runner-up Jordan Angers from Mountain View.

“I tried not to get overconfident,” Benfer said. “It was a hard race, but a fun one. I’m proud I could get Mills Godwin its first state title in track or cross country. It’s a great way to go out.”

Tommy Mulroy was on a mission to put his Midlothian team in position to win a state title after coming up short in 2012. Evan Benjamin, Collin Hahn and Mulroy used tandem running to their advantage all season.

In the state meet, the trio broke away from the field and when they reached the last 1,000 meters, it became Mulroy’s race.

He pulled away from Benjamin and Hahn and sprinted to his first state title with a time of 15:39. Benjamin (15:46) was second and Hahn (15:48) third, wrapping up the team crown for the Trojans.

“Coming in second last year

was one of the worst feelings,” Mulroy said.

“We knew we wanted to send a statement to everyone in the state and to our opponents at the Nike Southeast meet that we mean business.”

“This is a huge accomplishment,” Hahn said. “Everything we worked so hard for has come to fruition. It was hard, but it’s a great feeling.”

Atlee senior Nathaniel Hall battled his way back to the state meet after missing most of the 2013 outdoor track season with a leg injury.

He had his sights set on winning the Group 5A race, but nobody could catch Louis Colson from Thomas Edison.

Hall settled for third with a time of 15:38. Deep Run’s Matthew Novak was fourth (15:49).

“I’m happy with how everything turned out,” Hall said. “I think a lot of people counted me out after not running during track season, and that motivated me. But I’ve had some great workouts all year, and that’s really helped to get me back both physically and mentally.”

Raiders oust C-feds, then claim region title hopes will pay dividends in the state tournament at the Siegel Center.

“What a great experience for us,” he said. “So young, we only have two seniors. I’m glad the girls had this experience and now we have to go back and get stronger.”

Junior Alex Toben led Princess Anne with 20 kills.

Both teams will advance to the state tournament, with Princess Anne playing Wednesday and Atlee playing Thursday. For the Raiders, it will be a return to where they were one point away from a state championship one season ago.

“It’s a lot different than last year,” Jarvis said. “This year we’re determined now that we’ve made it back to have a different outcome.”

By Billy Fellin Richmond Times-Dispatch There was a little bit of everything in the Atlee-Princess Anne Region 5A South championship volleyball matchup on Thursday at Meadowbrook.

There was strong offense, strong defense and intense rallies with players diving all over the court, even a dig attempt from the Cavaliers that went so high it bounced off the ceiling and went through one of the basketball hoops.

But when the dust settled after five grueling sets, the Raiders took home the firstever 5A South championship with a 25-27, 25-19, 19-25, 2519, 15-11 win.

“They’re a good team,” Atlee coach Curtis Carpenter said. “They’re always a good team, they’re very well coached.

I knew it was going to be a burner, just didn’t know it’d be two and a half hours worth. It’s a nice win for us.”

Princess Anne (23-8) set the tone early in the first set, jumping out to a 7-3 lead. But the Raiders, led by Clarke Tyler, were able to tie the set at 16-16 and from there every point was to either take the lead in the set or tie it.

Tyler put the Raiders to set point, but Atlee (29-2) was unable to hold it as backto-back Cavaliers kills and a Raiders error gave the first set to the Cavaliers.

The second set was nearly a mirror of the first, with 14 ties or lead changes through the first 13 points. But Atlee was able to pull away, starting with a Molly Jarvis point at 13-11 and pull away to take the second set.

Princess Anne was able to control set three, while Atlee took set four.

In the fifth set, the Raiders took the floor and as the crowd

grew louder, Atlee played harder. Tyler scored 28 kills, according to Carpenter.

“That’s a career night,” Carpenter said. “She was just awesome tonight. I’m glad that she’s on my side.”

The tipping point in the fifth set came on a 5-0 Atlee run, featuring four kills from Tyler, one of four timely Lauren Stanford

aces and a Rachel Stanford kill.

“I wanted it really bad,” Tyler said. “I just went out there and did what I could.”

Tyler also had three blocks, while Rachel Stanford had 51 assists, 13 digs and 13 kills.

Lauren Stanford added nine digs.

Princess Anne was able to force one final set point, but

Jarvis found a weakness in the Cavaliers’ defense and was able to put home the championship point.

“I’m forever being trusted with these winning points,” she said. “I was in the air, and I knew it was an important point to score. I was just really excited and determined.”

Cavaliers coach Craig Dooren said that his young team gained valuable experience against the Raiders that he

Atlee 3, Lee-Davis 0 There were no secrets between Atlee and LeeDavis on Wednesday night at Meadowbrook in the Region 5A South volleyball semifinal.

The Raiders and Confederates went toe to toe once again with everything on the table and everything at stake.

Atlee rode a 12-3 and 10-5 run late in sets two and three, respectively, to knock off rival Lee-Davis 25-17, 25-20, 25-21.

The extreme familiarity aside, Atlee coach Curtis Carpenter said he believes his team’s will to win is what set apart the Raiders.

“These girls set a goal for themselves,” he said. “These girls just have a will to win. Give me a bunch like that every time and I’m happy.

“Lee-Davis is a good team.

Our kids know each other. They want to beat each other. I was probably more nervous than they were.”

Despite being a sweep for the Raiders, no point was won easily.

The combination of a Rachel Stanford kill and a Kylah Blackmore ace set up the Raiders’ first-set win, but the Confederates (19-8) came out in the second set and battled for 13 straight points for the lead, with neither team edging out more than a point.

“It was hard,” said Stanford, the Conference 11 player of the year. “They know that we’re middle oriented. I wanted to switch it up some, but still wanted to stay true to our type of attack.”

Stanford had 38 assists for the Raiders (28-2), and Blackmore had nine kills, four digs and two aces.

Maddie French scored a kill for Atlee that put it up 8-6, but Lee-Davis stormed back with a 6-1 run to tie it at 13.

Keyed by strong outside play from senior Brooke Bowman and tough middle play from sophomore Rachel Gaston, the Confederates pulled away to 17-13.

Then the Raiders hit their stride, going on a 4-0 run to make it 17-all. But arun at the end of the set, with kill after kill coming from senior middle hitter Clarke Tyler, who had 10 in the game, sealed the win.

Atlee jumped out to an early lead in the third set, but just as in set two, Lee-Davis crawled back.

But, the Raiders wouldn’t be denied as Blackmore, Tyler and Maddie French stepped up to lead Atlee back from down 1311 to a 16-16 tie and eventually the 25-21 win, sealed by a Molly Jarvis kill.

“I’m just glad to be done,” Blackmore said. “It’s hard to play them. I had confidence in my team. I knew we were going to come out with the win.”
