STOPS AT EVERY HOME IN TOWN
Man humble about burning car rescue By Jodi Deal jdeal@mechlocal.com On a routine afternoon drive home from a roofing job in Charlottesville, Varina resident Dave Ludwig did something that has his friends, family and co-workers insisting he’s a hero. Ludwig, who is heavily involved in Boy Scout leadership in the Mechanicsville area, said he is dubious about the use of that word. As he sees it, it was instinct LUDWIG — not heroism — that led him to pull a young woman from a car accident just moments before Dave Ludwig, a leader in the Mechanicsville Boy Scout program, has been nominated for the Lifesaving/Meritorious Action award.

Residents split on site of local movie theater We all welcome business and the opportunity to create jobs, generate more funding for Hanover County and benefit our communities. I doubt there is anyone who is opposed to a movie theater in Mechanicsville. What is at issue — and has opposition — is the location. As a realtor will tell you, it’s all about location, location, location. A residential area is very close to the proposed cinema project off U.S. 360. Some residents have organized to voice their opposition to the Hanover County Board of Supervisors . Col. David R. Hines, sheriff, also has weighed in on the site, noting his department’s needs in terms of maintaining public safety in what would become an even more heavily traveled area. Since 2008, the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office has been operating at the same level of positions. During the years following, seven positions were frozen and returned — but, despite requests by Hines, there is no mention of additional deputies. So, residents and the sheriff have concerns — and continue to share them with the supervisors — about the proposed location. When we requested your input on our Facebook page — www.facebook.com/mechlocal — we received pros and cons for the movie theater and the site that Carmike Cinemas is interested in constructing a building to house the business. Again, there’s that word business — which means money, which is a positive for our county. No, this isn’t a merry-go-round of confusion on my part. It’s just cycling around the issues at hand. This writer does support business, as well as the well-being of our residents. I, too, call Mechanicsville home. Problems that have occurred in neighboring jurisdictions seem to have some residents worried. That’s why the sheriff has spoken out about the need to have the additional personnel for patrols. We have the benefit of living in a county that is known as being safe — and having a strong police presence. I guess I’m in favor of having my cake and eating it too: Keep our residents happy and secure, bring in new business and have enough law enforcement officers to protect all concerned. Melody Kinser

Resident: ‘So now I am a conspiracy theorist’ Hello. My name is Debbie Wetlaufer. And I am a conspiracy theorist. Or, at least that’s what a member of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors accused me of being. Several times. Why, you ask? For asking what I thought to be a legitimate question. When I waded into the realm of local politics a few weeks ago with a group of other concerned residents, I did so in an attempt to call attention to the planned movie theater and what we believed to be a lack of due diligence on the part of Hanover County’s Planning Commission. We met with our supervisor, Canova Peterson, and our planning commissioner, Randy Whittaker, and presented a long list of about 20 questions that – in our opinion – had not been considered as part of the Conditional Use Permit for the project. We called attention to the sheriff ’s [Col. David R. Hines] “Public Safety Impact Statement” concerns about traffic and crime and concerns about the road infrastructure – everything from the inadequate turning lanes onto Brandy Creek Drive to the impact that modifications to the Brandy Creek entrance would have on traffic volume on Lee Davis Road. Were any of us professional planners? No, but these were issues that are obvious to anyone who frequents this area. This is more than I can say for many of the people involved in the planning and approval of the project since we learned that many had never visited the site nor driven in the area. Their perspective was purely academic. Our confidence in their assessments wasn’t exactly high. On Wednesday, Sept. 11, the Board of Supervisors held a public hearing on the theater. After hearing public testimony, Supervisor [Canova] Peterson recommended the plan for approval, which was quickly seconded by Supervisor [Ed] Via. Then Supervisor [Wayne] Hazzard stepped in and suggested that the people’s concern about traffic was, indeed, legitimate. Other supervisors agreed and a traffic study was recommended and discussed. Then something interesting happened: a typed paper was produced and displayed on the screen that provided the wording for the study requirements. This in a room with no printer. A call to Supervisor Peterson the following day confirmed my suspicion that the traffic study language had been agreed to prior to Wednesday’s board meeting. Was all this simply a matter of theatrics? One wonders. In the end, the vote was deferred until Oct. 23, pending the results of a traffic study. We walked away from that meeting with several questions. In an effort to answer these questions, I reached out to Supervisor Peterson, the Planning Department and ulti-
mately Supervisor [Sean] Davis. We were asking: 1. If we could get a copy of the language for the traffic safety study that was agreed to in the 9/11 Board meeting, and 2. If we could attend the meeting between the Planning Department and the traffic engineer to see that all of our concerns were addressed by the scope of the study. In regard to the first question, I was told that the meeting minutes weren’t yet available. Also, Mr. Davis indicated that the terms of the traffic study request were not yet finalized. This came as a surprise given that the wording had been edited, agreed to and voted on (we thought) in the Sept. 11 Board of Supervisors meeting. In regard to the second question, Mr. Davis suggested that such meetings aren’t public, but that we could provide the list of questions we had related to traffic issues. Since no one had yet contacted us, it was a welcome thing to hear that our concerns might be taken into consideration. And, then the third question. In the process of making these inquiries I was told that the “applicant” (Read: the theater company) had hired a traffic engineer and that a meeting was scheduled to review the requirements for the study, which led to the third question, the question that got me into trouble, tisk-tisk: 3. Was it common practice for the “applicant” to hire their own traffic engineer? The supervisors had stipulated that the “applicant” would pay for the study. But, we were given the impression that it was the Virginia Department of Transportation’s responsibility to conduct the study. Residents I spoke to about this information expressed concern that this was a potential conflict of interest -- that the “applicant” could simply select a traffic engineer that was, perhaps, sympathetic to their needs. Alas, it was this that set off the firestorm and the allegations of conspiracy! First, Mr. Davis asked if I expected the taxpayer to pick up the bill for the traffic study. To this, I simply said no. I agreed with the supervisors’ recommendation that the “applicant” pay both for the study and any necessary see LETTERS, pg. 8

him barely managed to avoid hitting his vehicle. When Ludwig ran to the wrecked car, he found a slightly groggy college-aged woman behind the wheel. She wasn’t bleeding, he recalled, but she was confused. He told her to stay still, then checked the back and passenger seats to make sure no one else needed help, and, finding them empty, turned his attention back to the driver. As he reached to help her with her seatbelt, he smelled something strange. “Fire was shooting out around my knees,” Ludwig said. “I said, ‘We’ve got to get out of here, baby, come on!’” Ludwig helped the girl out of the car, and the two made it only a few steps away before the entire vehicle was engulfed in flames. “Three to five seconds later

improvements to the roads. But, I certainly didn’t expect the board to allow the fox to guard the hen house! I suggested that VDOT conduct the study and that the county could bill the “applicant” for any costs incurred. This approach would eliminate some of the concerns the public has about there being a potential
and we would have been burnt. We could have been toasted,” Ludwig said. That reality didn’t sink in until the ride home. On the scene, Ludwig said not much other than the issue at hand was on his mind as he talked with police, let the driver use his phone, then helped explain to her father what had happened. He left the scene once she was safely in an ambulance, being carried away from the charred skeleton of her car. Ludwig called his wife to tell her what happened and a buddy who he was planning a Boy Scout trip with to tell him he’d be late. He then continued his afternoon. “By the time I got home, it was kind of really overwhelming with the phone calls and Facebook posts,” Ludwig said. “And that ‘hero’ word. I think that’s a little strong. It’s just being a Good Samaritan. If it wasn’t me, someone else would do the same thing.”
Ray Alexander of Mechanicsville, who knows Ludwig through his scout work, would beg to differ. He has nominated Ludwig for a Boy Scout Lifesaving/Meritorious Action award. Co-workers who have prepared statements to corroborate the story as part of the award process credit Ludwig with saving the girl’s life. “If it had not been for Dave’s stopping, the woman would have been either severely injured by burns or possibly dead,” coworker Chris Tripp said. After the accident, the girl’s father called Ludwig and asked him and his family to come to dinner so they could express their gratitude. Ludwig said he hopes to stay in touch, and only agreed to speak with a reporter about the accident on the condition that the girl, who lost a lot of possessions in the fire, could remain unnamed. Her said she was
simply exhausted from overdoing it at school and work, and doesn’t need any more stress. “I can’t imagine how he felt,” Ludwig said of the initial phone call to the girl’s father. “The realization – just three seconds. If she had had a kid or another passenger, we could be dead. It’s a car. It can be replaced. So can everything else.” But, Ludwig pointed out, the life of your child can’t. That knowledge has bonded the two fathers. “I have a 24-year-old. I wondered if someone would stop and help him,” Ludwig said. Awards or no awards, attention and congratulations aside, Ludwig stressed that his actions aren’t remarkable. “A hero is the 18-, 19-year-old boys in Afghanistan, the veteran who spent years in a war, the cop, the fireman. They’re heroes. I’m just the right guy at the right time. If it wasn’t me, it would have been somebody else.”
conflict of interest and they also might have more faith in the results of the study. Second, Mr. Davis made the case that the “applicant” had nothing to gain from such a conspiratorial arrangement. To the contrary, I argued. The “applicant” is a business with an eye on the bottom line. It’s safe to say that the “applicant” hopes for a traffic study that recommends the least costly modifications to the road
infrastructure and “data” that would eliminate opposition to the project. Could a certain traffic engineer sway the study results in favor of the theater? Perhaps. There are plenty of honest bythe-book folks in the world. But, there also is a lot of quid pro quo. Take, for example, the mortgage broker I knew who hand-picked home appraisers in an effort to inflate appraised home values. It happens in
business. And, it happens in politics. You know the saying, “figures lie and liars figure.” Call me a conspiracy theorist. I stand by our question as to whether a potential conflict of interest exists here. I’ll let the public decide. But, if this is how business is done in Hanover County, then, folks, we’d better insure that the requested changes to the Freedom of Information

Family-owned gun shop still going strong after 38 years By Ken Odor for The Mechanicsville Local

T
hirty-eight years ago mechanical engineer Rodney C. Atkinson quit his job with C.F. Sauer and opened a gun shop in Mechanicsville. An avid firearms collector, according to his son Neil Atkinson, he hoped to make a go of it selling collectible firearms. “Dad used to collect German Lugers,” and would visit the annual gun show held at the old Arena, now demolished, that stood next to the Diamond, Neil said. “Dad didn’t know what to name the store,” recalled Atkinson, 62, so he took the suggestion of George Goff, a colorful character and firearm collector friend.

Her grandparents lived close to “her” mountain and she departed this world with loving memories of them and that little town. As a child, she went by the name of Leola, but after graduation from high school, she took her middle name “Ann” and moved to the big city of Washington D.C. to start working for the FBI as a file clerk. She was never more proud of any job in her life as she was with her years of service there. After a few years in D.C., she married Bud and moved to Ohio to start their family. After the fourth child, they moved to Virginia to be closer to her family-the vast majority who lived in North Carolina.

become synonymous with firearms in Mechanicsville came into being. The store name is now simply DeGoff ’s, Inc. The business soon turned into a general gun shop and the founder moved it into the building it now occupies in the village of Mechanicsville in 1979. On a busy Friday morning, Atkinson’s feet are already tired. Of course, he’s been on the job since 6:30 a.m. But the phone is ringing and customers are coming in and out, looking for all manner of firearms, ammunition and related products. Tired feet come with the territory when you’ve spent years behind the counter helping customers make their selections, something Atkinson, president of DeGoff ’s, has been doing since 1977, when he dropped out of college to help his father run the business “When I first started, most people were into hunting,” Atkinson recalled. “Now most people are after home and personal defense,” he said when asked about the nature of the business. And a lot more ladies are involved in shooting now, whether for recreation or selfdefense, he added. “We help them as much as we can,” he said. Buyer Gray Johnson, 45, has been working at the store for 18 years. “We’re riding the wave,” he said, referring to the recent surge in sales of firearms, ammo and accessories caused by the failed push in the U.S. Congress for more stringent firearm legislation. “We were worried at one point we would run out of ammo,” said Johnson. The store has resorted to a two box limit on most ammunition, he said. Ammunition for .22 caliber
DeGoff,” Atkinson said he took part in matches down at K.C. Young’s range in Black Creek. But he gave it up in 2009, again because of the press of business. But the store still carries an extensive line of replica shotguns from the period, along with lever action rifles and single action revolvers for use in SASS matches. While talking about his business, Atkinson picked up a Uberti replica of Winchester’s 1873 model, chambered in .38 Special/.357 Magnum, calibers that didn’t exist when the original rifles were designed. Back to the present day and looking into the future, Atkinson, a strong supporter of the Second Amendment, said the gun shop business faces an uncertain future. “Only the Lord knows,” he said when asked what the future might bring. “It depends on the politicians.”

firearms has been particularly hard to find, said Johnson. Johnson concurred with Atkinson that the current emphasis is on self-defense tools. “This store has always sold more handguns than long guns,” he said. Atkinson said growing the business took a lot of hours over the years. “It was 12 hours a day, six days a week and not too much time with my kids,” he said. Two of his children work with him in the store. Joe is the store’s armorer and Jennifer handles most of the office chores. Starting in 2000, Atkinson took up cowboy action shooting, the fast-growing shooting sport of the Single Action Shooting Society (SASS), which sponsors matches in which participants don period costumes and use guns from the Old West in competitions.

LETTERS Continued from pg. 8
Act (FOIA) rules never happen. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. Debbie Wetlaufer Mechanicsville
Reader supports Radler for House I am a long-time reader of The Local and I have sadly noticed one thing that has greatly changed over time is the tone of the letters to the editor. There is an apparent smoldering anger and sputtering spitting virulence to some letters that are submitted. I personally feel that Virginia politics has grown way too partisan and too apocalyptic in tone. However, I am glad that our neighbors can freely express their strongly held political beliefs in a thoughtful public forum. That harsh, holler and threaten, style does not speak to me or reflect my views. Some of you also may feel that our government has become way too hostile, too intrusive and that it has generally been sticking its political nose into the very private business of its citizens. I believe the best way to relieve the pressure of the extreme views evident at both ends of the political spectrum is by the everyday people reestablishing the foundation, the center of more moderate views. It is time to find the center once again with our votes. The 55th House District is an open seat election because John Cox chose to not run for re-election. He decided not to run when the relatively politically safe, strongly Republican 19 precincts in Hanover County were combined with 11 more Democratic precincts from Caroline County and three from Spotsylvania to form a new political mix in the 55th District. There are three main candidates in this House race: one is
considered an anointed insider; one represents a narrower side faction; and the one I consider to be the non-politician outsider. I am personally supporting the non-politician for election this time around. I am hoping that other people will also look beyond the three simple alphabet letters following the candidate’s name and cast a vote for a candidate that presents the more moderate and mainstream views. It is time for us to rebuild bridges and not just tear them down. I want to introduce you to the non-politician vying for the 55th House seat. I have known Toni Radler through church for two decades and I find her to be a very sensible and pleasant woman with a stable moderate political voice. As a non-politician, she is not beholding to entrenched, special interest groups. Over her career she has worked as a reporter, served on the Board of Directors of Hanover Habitat for Humanity, volunteered for Hanover Safe Place, worked for Christian Children’s Fund and the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. As you can see, Toni Radler is family-oriented and a motivated, civic-minded person. She has repeatedly demonstrated her common sense, business sense and with wisdom she still cares for people. She has not lurked on the dark gritty backstairs of politics but has conducted her life in the sunny realm of open public communications and people centered activities. I view that as very desirable in a political representative. I believe that her news media experience of researching facts, finding the nuggets of truth and evidence, and then reporting back to the public to also be highly desirable preparation for elected office. She is running for office because she simply wants to be about the real business of gov-
ernment and that is to solve the people’s problems. She does not want to become a part of the screeching echo box, shilling for some complex, ideologicallydriven hyper partisan view. Her campaign is a personal effort to begin to move Virginia government away from extremes of partisan politics. She simply wants the legislature to get back to the work of doing the people’s business. That is refreshingly simple and also highly desirable. Toni Radler presents a sensible woman’s perspective and a moderate voice in the 55th House District. Please consider giving her your vote in November. Let us have a fresh start. I remain, moderately and quietly, yours. Lou Szari Mechanicsville
Deferring vote appreciated On Wednesday, Sept. 11, the Hanover County Board of Supervisors met to consider the proposed movie theater. During the public hearing, the Board heard from both supporters and opponents of the project. Canova Peterson of the Mechanicsville District made a motion to “approve” the project, which was seconded by Ed Via of the Ashland District. Wayne Hazzard of the South Anna District recommended that the Board instead “defer” the vote pending results of a traffic study. This proposal was backed by several of the other supervisors and ultimately adopted. In opposition to this project, we argued “Not Here, Not Now” – this is not the right location for a theater and not the time to add extra stress to our infrastructure. While we hope that this proposal will ultimately be voted down, we appreciate the fact that the Board recognized our legitimate concerns about traf-
fic congestion and requested a traffic study. The Board will review the results of the traffic study during a public hearing on Oct. 23. To learn more about the theater plan and our concerns, visit us at hanoverliving.

Writer supports Fowler for House I write in enthusiastic support for Buddy Fowler for 55th District delegate. In addition to being a long-time resident of Hanover County, an upstanding, loving family man and good friend to many, who has provided extensive, excellent community service to Hanover County, Buddy Fowler has extensive experience in public service, including his service as a legislative aide to two delegates who have served the 55th District in the General Assembly. Buddy is his own man, with the interests of all in our district at heart, and will be able to “hit the ground running” in the General Assembly, without a “learning curve.” He will immediately be of service to the 55th District when he is elected. Buddy worthily enjoys the support of many in the 55th District and he certainly has my

The New Bethesda Baptist Church at 9019 New Bethesda Rd. in Mechanicsville will be celebrating its 140th anniversary on Sunday, Sept. 29, starting with worship at 10:45 a.m., with guest speaker Dr. Fred Anderson, executive director of the Virginia Baptist Historical Society and the Center for Baptist Heritage and Studies. He will give a special character portrayal of Dr. William E. Hatcher (1834-1912), a prominent Baptist minister of a bygone era. New Bethesda has a rich heritage which began in 1832, when a building was erected, near the location of the present Battlefield Elementary School, shared by Baptists and other societies preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ. In 1841, probably due to differences in beliefs, some of the Baptists formed Bethesda Baptist Church. Then, in 1845 another part of the group broke off and built another church which became Walnut Grove. From 1846 until 1867, Bethesda Baptist Church continued to meet with the Disciples of Christ. At this time, the Disciples of Christ formed their own church (Gethsemane). In 1868, this building burned. Because of the ravages of the Civil War, the members of Bethesda Baptist met in homes while building a new sanctuary, which took almost six years to complete. The new church would be known as New Bethesda Baptist Church and construction was completed in 1873. It was heated by a woodburning stove and was lighted first by kerosene lamps, then carbide lamps, and finally electricity in the mid-1930s. see 140TH, pg. 27

Ex-supervisor Writer thanked endorses Radler for kind words In just a few short weeks citizens of the 55th District will have the opportunity to elect a new representative to the House of Delegates. It is my hope that each voter will take the time to consider the credentials and commitments of each individual candidate. This is not the time to fill this position with a place-holder. Hanover County and the State of Virginia desperately need leadership. We need a representative with fresh ideas and a strategy to knock down the barriers of blind partisan politics. We need a representative who understands leadership is more than casting votes on someone else’s ideas. We need real leadership.
On behalf of my husband I wanted to thank Delane Markley for her kind remarks. He is the foreman for Already Cut Landscaping who does the landscaping for that gas station on the corner of Lee Davis and Pole Green. I was reading the paper and read your letter and I called him because I just knew it was him, it is something he would do. He remembered that day and stopping as soon as the deputy set up the stop. He said it is just respectful and what should happen when someone passes. You made his day with your kind words. He is a hard working father of six and it was just what he needed to hear this particular day!
Church accepts gently used items I would like to respond to Philip Adams’ editorial about the dump station. My daughter-in-law and I have a place in Central Garage called Peanut Butter Jelly Time that accepts new or gently used items. We give things like that to needy families in our community. Sharon Baptist Church owns the house we use (old parsonage) with PBJT upstairs. We also use the downstairs for our Pennington Gap ministry.

Oct. 2-5 in Cobb Theatre, in Blackwell Auditorium, R-MC Center for the Performing Arts at 205 Henry St. Valene and Coleman are two brothers who share their father’s ramshackle farmhouse in rural Ireland, after Coleman “accidentally” kills him. They erupt endlessly into violent fights, both physical and verbal, over the most trivial of matters — a bag of chips, for instance. Father Welsh, the idealistic but hopelessly ineffectual parish priest, struggles to reconcile the two — a doomed effort if there ever was one — but even he inevitably succumbs to the bleakness and despair that pervades this dark, dark comedy. Directed by Alexandria Burgess ’15, this is a reprise of her Schapiro Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) project. Note: This play contains strong language and is not recommended for younger audience members. The Box Office is taking reservations by phone at 804-752-
7316. Tickets are $5 per person and free to R-MC faculty, staff and students.
ties are available for local businesses. Sponsor benefits include groups of tickets, booth space and use of The Center. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Hanover Arts and Activities Center, a nonprofit organization whose mission is to promote arts, educa-
tion and community building. Earlier this year, The Center received a $30,000 challenge grant from the Mary Morton Parsons Foundation to support capital improvements. The challenge grant depends upon The Center raising an equal amount from supporters and private donors.
Pianist Gregg Kallor Randolph-Macon College will host Gregg Kallor at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 4, in St. Ann’s Performing Arts Building at 216 England St. Composer, pianist and improviser Gregg Kallor brings a fresh approach to the solo piano recital. His performances bridge the gap between jazz and classical styles and find a new musical ground, where improvisation and composed music meet. A recipient of a prestigious Aaron Copland Award for composition, he has composed works for both large ensembles and small chamber groups, but Kallor’s anchor is the piano, where his technique and ingenuity shine. This event is sponsored by the Music Program of the RMC Department of Arts. It is free and open to the public.

A Special Supplement to
The Mechanicsville Local
Donna Holt, president and executive director of Virginia Campaign for Liberty, recently discussed the Conservation Easement program and “the unintended consequences of another tax scheme benefitting those with questionable motives that go way beyond the stated goal of preserving open space” at a recent meeting of the Mechanicsville TEA Party. She used the term “Socialized Capitalism” Submitted photo to describe the program Donna Holt, she said benefits largely president and many of America’s wealthexecutive director iest, citing musician Dave of the Virginia Campaign for Matthews and real estate Liberty, was the developer Donald Trump keynote speaker for a recent meeting of as recent examples . Holt said that, while the Mechanicsville TEA Party. Conservation Easements started out as these programs often do, with noble intentions to preserve the family farm, she said nothing today could be
September 25, 2013
further from the truth. According to Holt, the costs to local government tax coffers as a result of easements very generous tax benefits are then passed on and borne by the remaining local taxpayers with higher real estate tax rates for everyone else. She also said that the additional costs to Federal revenue have been significant as well and that 93 percent of land in America is undeveloped to begin with. She said it is hardly worth a tax incentive to “preserve open space.” Bob Shannon, 2013 president of the MTP, cited a specific case in King William County where the Chesapeake Corp. placed 1,040 acres into a Conservation Easement with a Fair Markey Value of 1.9 million, emptying King William tax coffers of an annual $19,000 that now has to be made up by businesses and homeowners in King William. He noted that the land was never likely to be developed in any event since it sits in the middle of Sandy Point State Park. “It was a wise tax move for Chesapeake Corp., not so advantageous for the rest of King William citizens,” said Shannon. The Mechanicsville TEA Party meets the first and third Thursday of the month. For more information, visit mechanicsvilleteaparty.com.

NEXT STEP | Improving the quality of life for the senior adult
Physical therapist can assess those at risk for falling Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Are you worried about falling? Falls are not a normal part of aging. Risk factors associated with falling include decreased strength, flexibility, balance, vision, hearing, vestibular deficits, poly-pharmacy (if you take four or more medications), inactivity, blood pressure, environmental factors, and fear of falling.
Ask your physician if you may benefit from an evaluation by a physical therapist. A physical therapist can assess whether or not you may be at risk for a fall due to changes often associated with aging, including: Loss of strength; General deconditioning that may be related to a chronic disease like COPD or cancer; Dizziness due to deterioration
of the inner ear (vestibular dysfunction); or Poor balance because of a compromised nervous system that causes decreased proprioception or peripheral neuropathy. Your physical therapist will design an individualized program specific to your needs to help decrease your risk of falling. Elizabeth Holster, PT, DPT, clinical director of Tidewater Physical
Therapy’s Mechanicsville location, received a Bachelor of Science degree from James Madison University and a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree from the Medical College of Virginia at Virginia Commonwealth University. In addition to general orthopedics, Elizabeth has a special interest in running analysis, rehabilitating dancers and sports injuries. She is trained in a number of man-
Advice offered to aging drivers Metro Creative Services news@mechlocal.com When a person first earns a driver’s license, they’ve earned more than just the right to legally operate an automobile. To many drivers, a driver’s license is symbolic of freedom and self-sufficiency. The significance of a driver’s license never truly dissipates, which makes it difficult for aging men and women to address their abilities as a driver and whether or not they can still safely share the road with other motorists. Though many drivers can safely stay behind the wheel well into their golden years, others begin to recognize their skills are starting to diminish as they approach senior citizen status. For those who want help gauging their abilities as a driver, some self-examination can help. Assess your eyesight Healthy eyes are essential to being a safe driver, and drivers can assess their eyesight in a number of ways. In addition to visiting an eye doctor for an eye examination, drivers should look for signs that they’re having difficulty with driving. If signs and street markings aren’t so easy to read anymore, you might need a new prescription for eyeglasses. When the glare of headlights at night makes it difficult to see, your driver’s seat might need to be adjusted or you might want to consider antiglare eyeglasses that make it easier to see at night. Assess your comfort level Safe drivers are also comfortable drivers. To assess your comfort level as a driver, ask yourself the following questions before getting back behind the wheel. Is it troublesome to look over your shoul-
der and change lanes? Has steering become difficult? Has your reaction time when switching from the gas pedal to the brake pedal decreased? If you can answer “yes” to any of the questions above, then it could be that you’re beginning to lose strength, coordination and/or flexibility, which can make it more difficult to operate a motor vehicle. Answering “yes” doesn’t mean you have to give up your driver’s license. In fact, your doctor might be able to prescribe therapies or medicines or suggest a fitness regimen that can make it easier for you to comfortably drive a car. In addition, if you’re having trouble steering or operating a motor vehicle in any way, you might just want to find a vehicle that’s easier to drive, such as one with an automatic transmission that has power steering and brakes. When assessing your comfort level, also examine your mental state while driving. If other drivers make you uncomfortable or traffic signs are confusing, this can make it difficult to safely operate an automobile. Such feelings when driving could also be a side effect of a particular medication, so discuss the issue with your doctor to see if that’s the case and if there are any alternatives. Honestly address loved ones’ concerns Aging drivers are often the last to notice if their abilities behind the wheel are starting to diminish. If loved ones have expressed concern about your abilities as a driver, honestly address these concerns. Your loved ones are sharing their feelings out of genuine concern. Some organizations, including the AARP and AAA, offer driving classes for mature drivers to help them more adequately handle the challenges aging drivers might face.
ual therapy techniques specifically for lumbar and cervical spine, joint and soft tissue mobilization, and fall prevention and vestibular rehabilitation, which she subsequently created a program for. In her spare time, she enjoys cooking, reading, ballet and personal fitness. Elizabeth also is an active member of the American Physical Therapy Association.

Stattelman, L-D leap to Tomato Bowl win By Jonathan Howard For The Mechanicsville Local The Tomato Bowl between Lee-Davis and Patrick Henry is a series filled with close games and dramatic finishes. Confederates running back Blake Stattelman made sure the 55th edition didn’t have such theatrics. Stattelman, a junior, rushed for 319 yards on 42 carries and scored four touchdowns to lead Lee-Davis (1-2) to a 34-14 victory over Patrick Henry (0-3). Lee-Davis coach Zac Hayden makes no secret of his desire to establish the run and didn’t alter his game plan Friday night. In turn, Stattelman put up 208 yards and three touchdowns on 28 carries in the first half. “We run the football,” Hayden said. “We’re going to give it to our back and see what we can do. That was the game plan and we were able to do it. We executed well.” Stattelman ate up yards early and often. After picking up 23 yards on the game’s opening drive, he picked up 41 more to set up the game’s first score, a 6-yard touchdown pass from Brandon Sulser to Austin Rice. Sulser faked a handoff out of the shotgun and was able to roll out, where he found Rice at the goal line. “I’m kind of an old-school guy. I believe in run the ball, run the ball, run the ball to set

Raiders give coach birthday win over Hawks By Josiah Turner For The Mechanicsville Local Atlee’s girls’ volleyball team weathered a furious start by Hanover to give coach Curtis Carpenter a highly prized birthday preset – a dominating road victory on the Hawks’ home court Thursday night, 25-16, 25-11, 25-11. After watching their junior varsity team get a victory, Hanover stormed out with an ace on the very first serve of the match. Back-and-forth action in front of an ecstatic crowd inspired the players, but even with the home-court support, Hanover could not sustain its early energy. Hanover led 13-11 midway through the match, but
as its energy and confidence seemed to wane, Atlee’s experience began to show as the Raiders imposed their will upon the Hawks. The Raiders scored 14 of the next 17 points and claimed the victory after an athletic kill by senior Clarke Tyler. Atlee dominated the match from there on out, and did not allow Hanover to regain any momentum. Even so, Atlee head coach Curtis Carpenter expected a tough opponent in the Hawks. “I knew that Hanover being at home, [with] who they were playing, [with] their JV team winning, they had their crowd fired up, and they had their team fired up…I knew that the girls were going to be coming after us, and they did,”
Dave Lawrence/The Local
Atlee’s Rachel Stanford (7) and Clarke Tyler (5) block a shot by Hanover’s Miranda Hall (1) in the Raiders’ 25-16, 25-11, 25-11 girls’ volleyball victory on the Hawks’ home court Thursday night.
Carpenter said. “I think we were a little shell-shocked they came at us as hard as they did, but I was happy to see us settle down, regroup, and play our game.” Once the Raiders (8-1)
settled down, the Hawks (4-4) didn’t stand a chance. Coach Karl Lippa of Hanover stated that he thought his team played very well throughout the night. He said that he was proud

the half ’s first possession and led the Patriots on a 50-yard scoring drive. Vaught capped it with a run from 4 yards out. He later scored on a 3-yard plunge. Vaught led the Patriots with 56 yards rushing on 13 carries. Rice also had an outstanding game for the Lee-Davis. He rushed for 83 yards on 13 carries and caught two passes for 30 yards.

of his team’s valued effort. “They went hard as a group, that’s the best I can say. Atlee’s a little bit more experienced, a little taller, and a little quicker,” Lippa said.

Prepared Rebels stump Atlee’s explosive offense By Eric Kolenich Richmond Times-Dispatch Douglas Freeman was off last week, so it used the extra time to prepare for Atlee’s uptempo offense. The Rebels’ scout team offense went at top speed to simulate what the defense would see from the Raiders. When Friday night came, the Rebels were ready. No.8 Douglas Freeman registered a solid defensive effort and defeated No.5 Atlee 24-14. The Rebels moved to 3-0 for the first time since 1994. “I’m proud of the defense,” Freeman coach Mike Henderson
The Mechanicsville Local
said. “(Atlee’s offense) didn’t really do much. They’re a terrific football team. Maybe we caught them not on their best day.” Atlee (2-1), which scored 111 points in its first two games, put up 342 yards of offense, but never had a sustained drive that resulted in a touchdown. Both of its scores came in big chunks, a 19-yard run by Loumond Dandridge and an 86-yard pass to Tramell Carey. Freeman recorded six sacks, even though Atlee has the best offensive line the Rebels have see REBELS, pg. 37

Atlee golfers outpace Hanover, Lee-Davis rivals By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Death, taxes, and Atlee beats Hanover in golf in 2013 – those are the only certainties of life joked Hanover golf coach Chris Pace as he compiled scores near the end of a match between the Raiders, Hawks, and Lee-Davis at Queenfield Golf Course Thursday afternoon. Atlee, picked to win the Capital District by several coaches at the beginning of the season, seems to be proving Pace’s point. The Raiders ran away with the match on the Confederates’ home course, scoring 161 to 174 for Hanover and 179 for Lee-Davis on the 9-hole, par 36 event. Atlee’s Phillip Sening was the medalist for the day, shooting a 1-over 37, three strokes ahead of his teammate Matthew Sweeney at 40. Hanover’s Ward Wilkinson was third with a 5-over 41, followed by Atlee’s Erica Whitehouse and Stephen Hurd and Lee-Davis’ Austin Diehr at 42. Sening was playing down from his usual spot. “Today was kind of like an

exception,” Sening said. “I normally play one or two, but I play with my bud over there, [Hanover’s] Evan Wright, so I played four today to play with him.”
Sening found the course rather compliant Thursday. “It was good,” Sening said. “The course was playing pretty well. The greens were in great shape. I was able to stop the
ball pretty easily, so it was definitely playable. I was able to score well because of that. … “It just felt like all my irons were coming off crisp, I was able to stick them close, which
was good – hitting the green in regulation was making it easier to two-putt and make those pars and birdies that I needed.” Others seemed to struggle
on the course, however, with a profusion of scores more than 5-over par on the day. Part of the problem, at least for Hanover whose home course is at Hanover Country Club, was lack of familiarity with the course. “We haven’t played here all season,” Wilkinson said. “Hanover’s definitely a much different course than this, and the different course probably just messed up everybody’s mind.” Wilkinson thought he could have done better. “I didn’t really play that bad,” Wilkinson said. “It’s bad for me. … It’s not my best round, so I’m upset with it.” He wasn’t the only Hawk in that condition. “A couple of teammates, they were a little upset,” Wilkinson said. “The whole team in general played pretty good, but some scores were a little unfortunate. … Atlee got us once again.” At that point, several of the Atlee golfers broke out in a chant of “Raiders! Raiders! Raiders!” and everyone – including Wilkinson and his fellow Hawks – began giggling.
Richmond Sprint Triathlon prepares for Burkwood debut By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com It may not be an Iron Man, but it is a triathlon – and it is coming to Mechanicsville. Richmond Multisports is bringing the Richmond Sprint Triathlon – the final event of its 2013 calendar – to Burkwood Swim & Racquet Club on Sunday, Oct. 6. The triathlon will begin with a 400-meter swim at Burkwood, followed by a 12mile bicycle ride and a 3.1-mile run through the surrounding
36
neighborhoods. This is the first time the triathlon will be held in Hanover County. Logistical issues encouraged race organizers to relocate from its previous location in Chesterfield County to Burkwood. “I think that it’s really been, actually, a shot in the arm having a new run course, bike course – a different look for it,” said Sheri Crowell of Richmond Multisports. “We kind of got started a little bit late trying to nail down the [new] venue. Once we did, we’ve been real-
The Mechanicsville Local
September 25, 2013
ly pleased with what kind of response and registrations we’ve seen.” As of last week, more than 300 participants had registered for the event. Crowell expects about 400 by race day. Part of Burkwood’s attraction was its pools – which may be more appealing than an open-water swim in the fall. “We always wanted to try and have this last triathlon of the season, which this one is, in a pool,” Crowell said. “We’re trying to attract not only people that are saying, ‘I’m going to
do a triathlon in 2013, this is going to be my time.’ – kind of a first-timer – to, you know, the veteran triathlete that has been working on it all year and this is kind of their last hurrah. A pool swim kind of evens the playing field. Everybody goes down the same lanes.” Another asset is the Hanover landscape. “We thought a change of scenery makes it more interesting for everybody racing,” Crowell said. An event this size needs a lot of volunteers – both at
Burkwood and along the bike and run courses – to make it successful. “With the complexity of having three events in one race, there’s a need for more volunteers than just a straight-up road race,” Crowell said. “We always are looking for volunteers.” Crowell said volunteers will receive t-shirts and food. But she added that students and others can get something more out of volunteering, too. “We have a program for high-school kids who are look-
ing for community service hours,” Crowell said. “If they come with a group – whether it’s a church group or school group or ball team, anything – they can earn $10 [for their group], plus if there’s 20 people in their group, they can an extra $100.” Those interested in registering or volunteering for the race can sign up at www.richmondmultisports.com. Those interested in fundraising for their group should contact Crowell at sheri@richmondmultisports. com.
R-MC field hockey gets win in ODAC opener By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Randolph-Macon’s field hockey team may have earned a shutout in its Old Dominion Athletic Conference opener Wednesday, but the Yellow Jackets were not overly happy about it. Randolph-Macon, led by sophomore midfielder Catherine Pricone with two goals, defeated visiting Sweet Briar 4-0, but the opinion on the sidelines was that it could have done more. “It’s not about more goals. Of course, that should have been the outcome,” said RandolphMacon head coach Crystal Carper. “Our field play was disappointing because we weren’t playing at the level we normally are supposed to play at.” The Yellow Jackets (3-3, 1-0 ODAC) spent plenty of time in front of the Vixens’ net, and they outshot Sweet Briar 28-5 – 18-2 in terms of shots on goal – but came up with a rather paltry sum in terms of scoring. Carper said no single factor explained Randolph-Macon’s lack of success. “It was in a lot of little ways, and the little things are the most

seen this season, defensive end Buck Elliott said. Atlee starts two Division-I college-signee linemen, Alec Eberle and Nick Clarke. “I think we wore them down,” linebacker Trent Young said. “The D-line got penetration a lot, which got me open a lot.” Young intercepted a pass from Reid McCoy (19 of 25 for 225 yards) and sacked him once. Atlee also was a victim of its own missteps. The Raiders
important things,” Carper said. “For example, when we play 1-on-1 defense, we’re attacking. When we go to play the ball, we’re planting and swinging, and getting too close to a player and standing up.” Carper said that by making those mistakes, the Yellow Jackets could not respond as effectively to a sudden move by a Sweet Briar (1-4, 0-1) player. “Those things combined make us look more like a cone than a defender,” Carper said. Despite her two goals, Pricone was not entirely satisfied. “I feel that in our next games, we should be able to score more,” Pricone said. “Get some touches off quickly … smart touches in the circle, and making sure we’re looking up and seeing where the goal is.” Sweet Briar coach Jess Gray thought the Yellow Jackets played pretty well. “Macon was fast today,” Gray said. “They were stepping into the ball and they were making some good plays. Our girls just got flat. Our feet were not moving today.” Pricone opened the scoring in each half. She scored her first goal in the sixth minute. Carrie
committed 13 penalties for more than 100 yards. Atlee turned over the ball twice. A second-quarter fumble by McCoy led to a Freeman touchdown by Jack Gerstenmaier. It was his first of two and gave the Rebels a 14-7 lead. The Raiders scored first and nearly took a 10-0 lead when the Raiders attempted a 35yard field goal. But it was wide left. On Freeman’s next play, quarterback Kyle Farkas found Sinclair Farinholt wide open on a post route. Farinholt went 80 yards for the touchdown to tie

the game. From then on, Freeman seemed in control of the game. Though the game changed, Freeman’s strategy hadn’t. “We didn’t change anything,” Henderson said. “We just started playing better.” Henderson, in his second year with the Rebels, was named the Washington Redskins’ high school coach of the week. His team was given a $1,000 grant. “It’s a nice award,” Henderson said. “But this (win) means a lot more.” His players say he’s brought a winning mentality to Freeman.
The Rebels went 6-4 last year after three consecutive years of losing records. “Two years ago, we were OK with being 5-5,” said Elliott, who had two sacks. “Now, the mentality is that we want to win state.” Atlee 7 0 7 0 — 14 D.

seniors. Lippa stated that he was satisfied with his youthful team’s performance. “We’re the little puppy that’s feisty,” said Lippa as he walked back towards the locker room. Prior to the match, the Raiders’ players surprised Carpenter with balloons. He jokingly attempted to jog away as the girls tried to give them to him. He would have been perfectly happy with just the victory. “It feels like we play against

Hanover every year on my birthday,” Carpenter said. “Overall I’m pleased, always pleased with a win, but there’s still things that we need to work on.” The Raiders were led by Maddie French with seven kills, 12 digs and three blocks; Lauren Stanford with three aces, 10 digs and four assists; Kylah Blackmore with one ace, four kills, 12 digs and two blocks; and Clarke Tyler with eight kills and three blocks. Rebecca Hoover led the Hawks with three kills and 12 digs, while Kendall Pully finished with 16 assists.
