School Board adopts $170.7 million budget By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Hanover County School Board members unanimously approved a $170.7 million budget for Fiscal Year 2015 last
week. That doesn’t mean there weren’t concerns with the proposal, but members approached those with a healthy dose of realism. Superintendent Jamelle Wilson said the budget is appro-
priate and depends on finite financing figures. A budget that depends on one-time education funding is risky business, and the current proposal relies on steady streams of revenue that could ensure sustainability for

the system’s future. The proposal adds 18 classroom positions, increases resources for students and teachers, and takes aim at lower class sizes. The proposed budget also supplies employees
with a 2 percent salary increase, as well as benefit allowances to cover Virginia Retirement System increases and a portion of healthcare rate increases. Wilson presented a summary of the budget and noted
highlights in the process at the Feb. 11 meeting. Following her recommendation for approval of the 2015 operating, capital and food sersee BUDGET, pg. 19
Boy focuses on helping homeless By Jodi Deal jdeal@mechlocal.com

Haley Barney of Mechanicsville is shown with some of the orphans she has met on mission trips with The LINK. She had her own mission for the children: She collected more than 100 stuffed animals to give to the children. More on Haley’s efforts on page 7.
As a snowstorm and massive temperature drop headed toward the Metro Richmond area on Tuesday, Jan. 22, Pole Green Elementary School fifth grader Camden Giroux approached a homeless man who had just dug through a trash can and pulled out a halfeaten apple. Camden held out a backpack full of snacks and supplies. At first, the man thought he was supposed to pick an item from the bag. As the boy put the whole bag in the man’s hands, the man realized the bag and everything inside was for him.

Polegreen, Habitat joint venture benefits ReStore Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com The Historic Polegreen Church Foundation recently completed a successful partnership with Hanover Habitat for Humanity to donate and harvest materials from a house it owns prior to a demolition later this month. According to Chris Peace, executive director of the Foundation, 6422 Heatherwood Drive sits across from the Polegreen historic site and obstructs the historic viewshed. The Foundation Board adopted “Vision 2018” last year to complete its land use goals, which preserve and interpret the site. This plan led to the establishment of a historic overlay district and the removal of improvements, which interrupt the line of site surrounding the church. Later this month, the Foundation will raze the structure and reopen the viewshed for visitors to enjoy more of the Battlefield of Totopotomoy

Creek land upon which it sits. Rick Holzbac, Habitat’s director of retail, led a team of volunteers, including students from Randolph-Macon College, over several weeks to remove the interior doors, light fixtures, cabinets and vanities, wood flooring, mantle, appliances and plumbing fixtures. In addition, Habitat removed banisters and stairs, exterior heat pumps, pool pump, possibly some gutters and vinyl siding. The recycle team also was interested in some of the duct work and wiring as well. Habitat replied to Polegreen by saying, “Thanks so much for thinking of us. We are already selling the flooring out
of the ReStore!,” Timothy B. Bowring, director of Habitat for Humanity, said, noting the organization’s gratitude. Peace added, “Special thanks to our board, Bob Bluford III in particular, for recommending this type of donation, which will be a great benefit to the community. Nonprofits need to be creative, establish partnerships, and work together. Habitat does great work and we are very pleased to help them as well as be good stewards of our resources.” For more information about Habitat, visit http:// www.hanoverrestore.org and for Polegreen visit www.historicpolegreen.org.

Financial numbers exceed projections By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Slowly but surely, it appears Hanover County is emerging from a longer than expected economic downturn, and current indicators are optimistic. Karyn Tancredi, the county’s Accounting Division director, presented a quarterly financial reports update at last Wednesday’s Hanover County Board of Supervisors meeting. Although federal revenues have declined, those deficits were offset with additional sales tax returns and other state funds, providing a positive bottom line for the county. Revenues are projected about $1.2 million above last year’s budgeted amounts, due to an increase in sales taxes and other increases. Total revenues are expected to exceed the appropriated budget by $4 million. “General property taxes, fines and forfeitures and revenues from the federal government have declined from the same period last year,” Tancredi said. “However, these decreases are more than offset with increases in other revenue sources such as other local taxes, including sales tax, charges for services and revenue from the Commonwealth.” Expenditures are 3 percent less than the appropriated bud-
get. Returns from the Hanover County School Board and other factors account for a $10 million projected savings in expenditures. The net change position is projected to increase by $12.8 million, including $3.5 million in donated assets. The School Board is returning $2.8 million in unused funds to the county’s general fund. Student enrollment also is higher than anticipated equating to more state funding for education. County Administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. outlined the county’s proposed fiscal year 2015 initiatives. He said his overview is the initial step in the budget process that culminates in the spring. He suggested the county conduct a citizen survey to gain input on community priorities. Harris also said the economic development strategy needs to be updated with input from county business leaders and the community. Regarding Chesapeake Bay storm water management updates, Harris said he would present more detailed analysis of just how the county will deal with the mandates, and, more importantly, how to pay for them. “We’re working very hard to make sure the financial side of the plan worked out, thanks to a $417,000 DEA (Drug Enforcement Administration) grant.”

is hard to use and “people can’t find what they are looking for.” In addition, the site is 10 years old and is not compatible with mobile delivery of information. Williams said citizens wanted more freedom of use, less information on each page, larger text and the search tool is useless, among other complaints. “We looked at the site and decided to design for the everyday Hanover citizen,” Williams said. “We got rid of the all the departmental structures and made it easier. We consolidated the information.” The new website is streamlined, mobile ready with map features and enhanced graphics. Outdated information has been removed and the text size is increased. “We kept the things people liked about the old website,” Williams said. Contact information is on the home page, a feature from the old site that people wanted to retain. “This was a team effort. The site goes live on March 31. We’re going to spend the month of March training frontline staff,” Williams said. “I want to underscore the efficiency gain here. It now makes it easier and more efficient for county employees to provide information to the citizens,” Angela KellyWiecek, Chickahominy District supervisor, said.

A new courthouse facility project will move forward. “We are on target to be on the street with a bid no later than Jan. 4, 2015,” Harris said. “There are a number of steps included in that. Construction is expected to take about 18 months. Those are some general parameters. We need to get started.” The county administrator suggested a merit pay increase of 2 percent for county and school employees. “We need to make sure this is at the top of our list as we begin our funding process,” Harris said. “The economy is getting better and we will have some flexibility in the not too distant future.” Harris’ outline was a realistic and straightforward presentation with attainable, pragmatic goals. “We’re not taking on anything that we don’t feel has a reasonable chance of success,” Harris said. Kevin Nelson, director of Information Technology for the county, updated the board on the current website redesign and said that process is close to an end. “This website is different from the current website,” he said. “We don’t look at this project when it goes online as an end, but an opportunity.” Deputy IT director Craig Williams said the need for a new website arose from public concerns that the current site

essentials, including snacks, canned food, warm clothes, hand warmers, toiletries, first aid kits, vitamins and a Bible, to homeless people in Richmond. They also distributed sleeping bags to a couple who said they couldn’t use homeless shelters because their dog wasn’t allowed to come inside with them, and gave another man a tent. This wasn’t their first trip out. Over the past two years, Glovier said her son has become increasingly interested in ways to help the homeless. At first, the family simply gave money to folks on the street seeking handouts. Then, one night, on the way to a pizza place, a woman asked Camden and his mother for a coat. They didn’t have one to spare. “She said she was really cold. By the time we got our pizza, Camden was literally in tears,” Glovier said. “He could barely
get through his meal — he was so distraught.” After dinner, they went back to look for the woman, planning to buy her a coat and give her some leftover pizza, but she was gone. That led Glovier and Camden to start collecting coats to give to folks in need. In recent months, the mother and son have turned to Facebook, asking friends and family to donate backpacks and supplies to fill them, calling their aid effort “Camden’s Cause.” They hand out the donated supplies, along with some items they buy, on random weekdays in Richmond. Glovier said they don’t go out on weekends, when other organizations offer the homeless extra help. Camden said the next initiative on his list is a traveling pizza party. “I took $50 from my Christmas money, and my mom took $50 from her Christmas money, and my grandma gave
me $50, too,” Camden said. They were going to buy pizzas and deliver them in needed areas. They also set up a website to raise money. Within 24 days of establishing the fundraising site, they had raised $735. You can check their progress at www.gofundme.com/6f2vng. When asked why he’s concentrating his efforts on the homeless, Camden said he thinks people in that situation can often feel like no one cares for them. “Think if you were in that position,” Camden said. “It could happen to anybody.” That’s not to say he doesn’t believe in helping others in other ways. Camden also likes to leave quarters in gumball machines to give kids a pleasant surprise, and wants to start visiting patients at the Children’s Hospital at Virginia Commonwealth University to give them cards and treats. “When people feel down, it makes them happy to feel
like someone cares for them,” Camden said. Glovier said her dining room looks more like a food pantry than a place to sit down and eat dinner, thanks to all of the donated items ready to be packed into bags. She also said she’s really proud of her son. She said that the Tuesday before the snowstorm, with school called off the night before as a precautionary measure, other kids spent the morning sleeping in. “He was up and out at 7 a.m.,” she said. “You don’t find a lot of kids like that. He’s a really special kid.” Camden said his reason for helping others is simple. “It’s because I like to see other people happy. That makes me happy,” he said. Learn more about the effort and see photos of Camden with some of the people he’s met along the way at www.facebook. com/CamdensCause.

Remember when weather used to be just ‘small talk’
| Reader Views
OK, it’s Wednesday, Feb. 12, and weather — make that impending weather — is dominating the news. The iPhones are chiming around the office with alerts. Snowpocalypse is on its way. Well, what are you going to do about it? The reality is that if it snows two feet it snows two feet. We have absolutely no control over the weather. Remember the good old days when talking about the weather was just what we referred to as “making small talk” with someone while waiting in line at the store or some other place of business. “What do you think about this weather?” “Yeah, it looks like rain.” Nowadays, thanks to 24/7 news — and we’re right in the thick of that — you can learn the latest most up-to-date forecast. It is news, because the weather patterns in recent years aren’t the norm, especially for those of you who have made Hanover County your home for years. Ice and snow make for a dangerous — and scary — combination. This writer’s seven-year stint in Bluefield was a turning point in braving the elements. You either adapt to harsh winters or move. Winter seemed to start in August and go through May. So, let’s resume the conversation. It’s Thursday morning and Mechanicsville is covered in white. Looking out the office window to U.S. 360, traffic is moving smoothly. Thank you very much, Virginia Department of Transportation. Driving on Pole Green Road en route to work included a most welcome sight of three VDOT trucks clearing the way. We are fortunate to have such dedicated employees making our lives easier. Add to that list are the members of fire-EMS and law enforcement. Regardless of the weather, they are at our beck and call. And we would be remiss if we didn’t send a shout out to the utility crews who are on the ready when weather warnings go out. Woke up at 5 a.m. and, of course, peered through the blinds to see what Ol’ Man Winter had left on my street. I was met with a welcome sight: The tracks in the snow were proof that my Richmond Times-Dispatch had arrived. When the newspaper is at your doorstep, that’s a good sign. And, sure enough, this veteran of some of winter’s worst made it to the office. Melody Kinser

I was relieved I was still able to experience all of this even though things didn’t go as initially planned.”

because it puts kids first. The Virginia School Superintendents Association and the Virginia School Boards Association join the Commonwealth’s teacher associations in supporting HB 930. Further, in the recent letter, the MTP references the failed No Child Left Behind (NCLB) policy. HB930 does not mention NCLB in the bill. The MTP also mentioned nine other bills but provides no description of them. We took the time to read the summaries online, and we can tell you that those bills were carefully written in order to implement the new legislation properly. For example, one removes remediation instruction for science and social studies Standards of Learning (SOL) tests from grades 3 and 4. This makes perfect sense as those tests are no longer being given in grades 3 and 4. We would like to thank
Del. Chris Peace and the other members of the General Assembly who will soon be voting in favor of HB 930. The new formula of accountability through testing older students while focusing on instruction for younger ones is good practice, saves money and reflects bipartisanship in Richmond. This is something that all citizens of the Commonwealth can be proud of. Friends of Hanover Schools Randy Sherrod President
Reader takes issue with MTP The Mechanicsville TEA Party (MTP) has gone way overboard in their letters and signs as reported in the Feb. 5, 2014, edition of The Mechanicsville Local. To say that Chris Peace favors Medicaid expansion is not accurate. If Chris weren’t a delegate, he may have a case for libel against the MTP.

Chris has a proven track record of being very careful in spending the taxpayers’ money. He even voted against the transportation bill last session, a bipartisan spending bill which I am glad has passed. I do not always agree with Chris’ voting record, but he always holds himself to a high standard for his scant salary as a delegate. Chris always has Virginians in mind first. Further, the MTP’s bashing of Sean Davis for supporting public education also is wrong. Without good schools, Hanover County will not have what its citizens want, which is great subdivisions and rural lifestyles with good property values, much in part to the excellent but under-funded school system. While we are hoping to see that Chairman Davis will have the courage to support Hanover County Public Schools in a way that the current Board of Supervisors has not yet done, see LETTERS, pg. 30

“Why Do We Use Our Photo in Our Ads?”
7000-01
Dear friends, When we meet people around town, they usually say, “I’ve seen your ads with your picture in it.” Well, perhaps we should tell you a little bit more about that photo, and why we use it. First, Dr. Melissa, “When I was 13 I was diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome and juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. My fatigue was so severe that it was all I could do to make it home at the end of the day and crawl into bed. Feeling frustrated and concerned about my health and life, for years I tried all kinds of different approaches, none of them worked! A friend of mine convinced me to give chiropractic a try. I was reluctant at first thinking that chiropractic was only for people with bad backs, but soon discovered that it was so much more… The Chiropractor did an exam, took some films, and then took the time to explain to me that when the spine is not properly aligned it can interfere with the proper function of the nervous system resulting in all types of health problems because the nerve system controls all function of the body. Thatwasthecauseofmysymptoms,imbalances in my spine, which interfered with my nerves. The chiropractor then gently “adjusted” my spine using her hands. The adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. It made so much sense to me and worked so well that I decided to become a Chiropractor so that I could help people overcome their health challenges naturally, just as chiropractic helped with mine.” Now for Dr. Mike, “I was in a car accident in 1988 that resulted in severe leg pain (sciatica) and low back pain and had also been a migraine headache sufferer since early childhood. After being told

The Mechanicsville Local
that I may need surgery, I got serious about seeing a chiropractor. My leg pain went away quickly and the back pain all but disappeared. And with regular chiropractic adjustments I haven’t had a migraine headache in years! Melissa and I decided to go back to school together so that we could help families live happier, healthier and more productive lives without having to depend on potentially harmful drugs or surgery for their health concerns.” “What if we had just taken medicine to cover up our symptoms? What would our health be like today? You see, we weren’t content with just eliminating symptoms, we wanted to be healthy and knew that there had to be a natural and safe way to get and stay healthy naturally.” And there is! Our three children also benefit from a wellness lifestyle. They enjoy being checked regularly and “tuned-up” when needed. And they have enjoyed incredibly vibrant health, thanks to good nutrition, lots of love and regular chiropractic care. It’s strange how life is, because now people come to see us with their fatigue, arthritis, sciatica and migraines. They also come to see us for help with back and neck pain, shoulder/arm pain, asthma/
February 19, 2014
allergies, ear infections, and poor posture, just to name a few. Some visit our office regularly to naturally promote and enhance the overall Godgiven health and wellness potential of their entire family and to stay drug-free. Here’s what some of our practice members have had to say: “I am calmer, more patient, in much less pain and my headaches are gone!” –A. Moore “Chiropractic is the best thing I have ever done for myself and my family” -Sherrie B. The body was created to self-heal and selfregulate and it does this through the nervous system. That’s why chiropractic care helps people get tremendous results. It’s as simple as that! The studies speak for themselves, like the Virginia study that showed that 99% of patients who saw a chiropractorweresatisfiedwiththeirresults.Another recent study published in the January 3, 2012 issue of the Wall Street Journal showed that chiropractic care and exercise were almost twice as effective as OTC and prescription medications for neck pain. That’s just incredible! Many Americans are finding that their insurance
benefits are being reduced. That’s where we come in. We have cost effective fee plans so that more people are able to afford the corrective care they need with or without insurance. Another way to save…studies show that chiropractic can enhance your immune capacity, naturally and without drugs. The immune system fights colds, flues, and other sicknesses. Studies also show that people actually pay less for their long-term overall health care expenses if they are seeing a chiropractor regularly. You Benefit from an Amazing Offer- Look, it shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg to find out if you might benefit from chiropractic care. *When you make an appointment before March 7th, you will receive our entire new patient exam for only $25! That’s with x-rays (if indicated), functional testing and a report of your findings…. the whole ball of wax. This exam could normally cost you over $200. We simply want you and your family to get checked to discover if chiropractic can help—and we don’t want price to be the reason you don’t. We provide specific and measurable results!
We are MATHES FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC “Healthy by Choice!” Call us at 746-5700 for your appointment. Sincerely, Drs. Mike and Melissa Mathes and the Mathes Family Chiropractic Team *Due to Federal regulations we are unable to extend this offer to recipients of any Federal Health program, such as Medicare.

He was the son of Linda Newman Ludwig and Jack Denton Ludwig. In earlier years, Jack established J.D Ludwig, Inc., specializing in water and sewer construction. He completed several county, municipal and commercial projects in Ashland and Hanover County. An astute and talented horseman, he later turned to training thoroughbred horses for a variety of clients. His horses raced successfully at all major eastern race courses in New York, Maryland, New Jersey and Florida. He retired to Gwynn’s Island in 2006. Shortly thereafter, he decided to reestablish his former construction company, which proved to be successful once again under his management. Gradually, the pace and scope of the endeavor, and his declining health, required that he liquidate the business. Jack is survived by his son, Jack Denton “J.D.” Ludwig III of Richmond; sisters, Mary Ludwig Denny of
Virginia Beach and Linda Ludwig Magovern of Ashland; niece, Claire Denny; and nephews, Jay Denny and Malcolm Magovern III.

Bon Secours Memorial Regional Medical Center, St. Mary’s Hospital and St. Francis Medical Center recently earned The Joint Commission’s Advanced Certification for Palliative Care, which recognizes hospitals for meeting standards and providing high quality palliative care. The three Bon Secours Richmond-area hospitals were the first of the health system’s hospitals to undergo the certification process, joining only about 60 hospitals nationally with this type of certification. “This is a proud distinction for our palliative medicine staff and our hospitals,” Peter J. Bernard, chief executive officer, Bon Secours Virginia Health System, said. “The Joint Commission certification is the gold seal of approval and a testament to a culture of excellence that contributes to our overall care for patients,” he added. Each of the Bon Secours hospitals received high marks during the evaluation and no findings were cited that required immediate response or improvement. The evaluation noted that many of Bon
Secours’ initiatives could serve as best practices for other palliative care programs across the country. The Joint Commission highlighted a number of Bon Secours’ palliative care practices as key examples, including highly trained palliativespecific nurse navigators, the organization of pastoral care and support of palliative care competencies for chaplains. They also pointed out Bon Secours’ vision of a palliative medicine program “without walls” as a unique attribute. “Achieving the Advanced Certification for Palliative Care recognizes our approach to holistically addressing our patients’ needs and underscores the compassion we have for those afflicted with serious illness,” Leanne M. Yanni. M.D., medical director, palliative medicine, Bon Secours Virginia Health System, said. “I want to recognize and thank all of those in our health system who have contributed to this success,” she said.

County Public Schools, in addressing the Friends of Hanover Schools. The meeting originally had been scheduled to be held at the Ashland Library. Randy Sherrod serves as president of FOHS. The $55 million cut to the schools’ capital budget while splurging $44 million on a new courthouse, is, however, very concerning. Finally, MTP’s attack on HB 930 is not based in fact. This bipartisan bill, which focuses instruction for elementary students and leaves testing up to the older students who are better suited for it is a good one. It cleared the Education Committee in the General Assembly by a vote of 22-0; it will most likely become law, and it is a good thing for Virginia’s students. The TEA Party’s signs with alleged facts but no citations, attacks on bipartisan bills and the general attitude of “never spend a dime on anything, ever” is not productive and creates a divisive community.

Raider girls win Eastern Region swim title By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com NORFOLK – Atlee High School girls’ and boys’ swim teams proved forces to be reckoned with in the inaugural Eastern Region swim meet Saturday at Old Dominion University. The Raiders’ girls’ team dominated the competition, winning the girls’ championship by a 57-point margin over second-place Princess Anne High School, 374-317. The Raiders’ boys’ team, with 305 points, finished third behind winner Princess Anne (410.5 points) and runner-up Hickory High School (390.5 points). Lee-Davis High School finished seventh and eighth in the girls’ and boys’ meets, respectively. “Coming out and winning conference for the girls and regions for the girls is just amazing,” said Atlee head swimming coach Karen Seeber. “We’re so excited.” Seeber has more reasons to be excited. The Raiders are sending 15 swimmers to the Group 5A state championship meet at Collegiate School Aquatic Center in Chesterfield Friday and Saturday: Mica Baker, Emily Beaudin, Olivia Fisher, Oakleigh Hogg, Michele Mackey, Molly Murphy, Morgan Steiner, Madelne White and Brittany Wilkerson to the girls’

championships; and Tristan Amatruda, Jeremy Edwards, Wyatt Grubb, Noah Mackey, Connor O’Brien and Steven Seay to the boys’ championships. The Raiders sent 29 swimmers to the meet – 15 girls and 14 boys – which was similar to some of the other larger squads in region meet such as Princess Anne or Hickory High School. But Atlee’s ability to field swim-
mers in a large number of events helped fuel their teamwide success. “We had a lot of depth, I guess you could say,” Seeber said. “We were able to cover a lot more events which is always a kind of a strong point. We were able to fit people in in the different areas.” Lee-Davis is sending five swimmers to the state meet: Morgan Boyle, Hannah
Ikenberry, Mary-Kate Mulvaney and Molly Sheffield to the girls’ championships; and Jordan Witherow to the boys’ championships. Confederates’ head swimming coach Matt Barker had no idea what to expect at the Eastern Region meet. “With the realignment of the region, we’d never swum those teams before except for the teams that we swam against
at our conference meet,” Barker said. “There were eight teams there that we had never swum against, ever. So I really wasn’t sure how we were going to do. I was pleasantly surprised by how we did.” Fisher and Wilkerson will represent the Raiders’ girls’ in three events apiece at the state meet. Both are on the 200-yard medley relay team (along with Hogg and Michele Mackey).
The Mechanicsville Local
Fisher will also compete in the 50 freestyle and 100 freestyle, while Wilkerson will also swim in the 200 freestyle and 100 butterfly. Hogg will also compete in the 100 breaststroke while Michelle Mackey will compete in the 100 butterfly. Morgan Steiner and Madeline White will both swim for Atlee in the 500 freestyle, and Molly Murphy will swim in the 100 backstroke. Grubb will represent the Raiders’ boys’ team in four events at states: the 200 medley relay (with Amatruda, Noah Mackey and Steven Seay), the 400 freestyle relay (with Amatruda, Seay and O’Brien), the 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke. Amatruda will also compete in the 200 individual medley. Noah Mackey will also swim in the 100 breaststroke. Edwards and O’Brien will both compete in the 200 freestyle, while Edwards will also swim in the 500 freestyle. Ikenberry and Sheffield will represent the Confederates’ girls’ team at states in three events each. Both will compete in the 200 freestyle relay (with Boyle and Mulvaney), while Ikenberry will also swim in the 200 freestyle and 100 backstroke and Sheffield will also swim in the 200 individual medley and 100 butterly. Witherow will represent the Lee-Davis’ boys at the state meet in the 500 freestyle.

13 Mechanicsville wrestlers head to state tourneys By Brad Bess Richmond Times-Dispatch Fourteen wrestlers were crowned region champions on Sunday at the 5A South tournament at Clover Hill High School. Fifty-six qualified for the Group 5A tournament. But the team title came down to the final match. Princess Anne High School and Matoaca High School were tied at 172.5 heading into the 285 match, which featured Matoaca’s Anthony Helm and Cody VandLinde of Kellam. With two takedowns, an escape and a near fall for three points, Helm grabbed the 8-1 win and the Warriors left with the first 5A South wrestling title. Princess Anne finished second and Great Bridge finished third. Helm said he knew the score was close and that the pressure motivated him. “I was the decision on if we were going to win or lose. I like the pressure,” Helm said. “I feel that I perform better under pressure.” Coach Michael Moore, who wasn’t satisfied with his team’s mindset entering the the event’s first day, said his team was in the
right mental state for Sunday. “I was greatly, greatly pleased and proud of them,” Moore said. Moore said Helm and his team handled the tournament pressure well and they’ll be better wrestlers for it. “Pressure is what it’s all about; this was all about making it to the next level. Once you get used to dealing with pressure, then that’s the name of the game,” Moore said. Dylan Schuster (113), Kyle Gordon (132) and Neal Richards (145) were the other Warriors to win individual titles. Richards looked dominant in the tournament, winning all his matches with pins. The 113 and the 132 finals pitted Warriors against LeeDavis High School. Schuster faced off against Hayden Keener and won 12-9. Gordon faced Chris Morris, and following a scoreless first period, Gordon won by pin in the second. “First period I wasn’t really worried about scoring,” Gordon said. “I was just worried about getting him tired so I could open up in the second and third period, which worked.”

HAMPTON – Facing a limited event schedule, getting off on the right foot was the goal for teams competing in the inaugural Virginia High School League Group 5A South Region indoor track meet at Boo Williams Sportsplex on Saturday. “It’s big,” Lee-Davis coach Neil Mathews said. “With this being brand new and a whole day of rest between this thing being over, there’s no way to tell how this will turn out. But,

obviously, you want to try and score points early and build some momentum.” The Confederates lead the boys’ team standings after the first day of competition with a 16-point lead over Atlee. A bulk of the lead was built thanks to victories in the 55meter hurdles and 3,200 relay. Senior Lee Warren entered as the favorite in the 55 hurdles. He won the 5A South Region title with a time of 7.42 seconds, 0.03 seconds faster than he ran
in the preliminaries. “Coming into the race, I hadn’t had any practice because of the snow,” Warren said. “So I just tried to stay fresh. But it felt great. I PR’d, but most importantly, I’m helping my team get crucial points that we need.” Prince George senior John Warren, the nation’s top triple jumper at 51 feet, 3 inches, jumped 49-5 in the preliminaries, but passed all three jumps in the final and still won the region title. He also finished third in the 55 hurdles (7.70). Junior Marcus Taylor of
Highland Springs won the 55 dash in 6.33, the third-best time in the country. Atlee’s Bryce Simpson was the Group 5A South champion in the pole vault, clearing 13-6. Henrico leads Atlee by four points in the girls’ standings entering the final day of competition. The Warriors picked up points in the 55 hurdles and 55 dash, but most of their lead was built in the field events. Junior LaChyna Roe placed in the high jump, triple jump see LEE-DAVIS, pg. 37
Kellam claims region gymnastics championship By Paislee Winkler For The Mechanicsville Local Virginia Beach-area high schools dominated the inaugural Region 5A South Gymnastic meet at Deep Run Saturday, and in an end typical of this season’s meets among Richmond-area teams, less than a point separated the top two teams. Virginia Beach’s Floyd Kellam High School edged Chesapeake’s Great Bridge 147.100 to 146.425 to claim the inaugural Region 5A South crown. Both teams advance to the state championships at Salem High School in Virginia Beach Friday. Head Kellam gymnastics coach Debi Strausbaugh said the Knights have kept a low profile most of the season. “We’ve been under the radar,” Strausbaugh said. “But it’s a pure team effort that makes us successful. It’s when the third, fourth and fifth gymnast steps for us that can really make a difference.” The Knights topped Great
Bridge despite the fact that the Wildcats took the top two places in to events, the balance beam and floor performance. Kellam, however, tied for first place on the floor. The top two Richmond-area teams this season, Deep Run and Patrick Henry, continued their season of close finishes, with only 0.075 of a point separating the third-place Wildcats from the Patriots. The top eight gymnasts in individual events and the top three all-around competitors advance to the state championship meet. Patrick Henry senior Kristen Valasek placed third in all-around standings to qualify for a berth in the state meet. Valasek placed first on the uneven bars with a 9.8, third on the floor with a 9.725, and she tied for fourth with Deep Run’s Megan Craig on the vault with a 9..550. Valasek struggled on the balance beam for the second straight week, however, with two falls in her routine. The

beam was the weakest event for the Patriots overall. “It was just inconstancy,” Valasek said. “I had a really great warm-up and a great everything else.” The beam was her third
event of the day after the uneven bars and the vault. Valasek, who has previously finished third all-around at the former Group AAA state meet, plans to leave everything on the mat at her last high school
championship competition. “I’m just going to go big, this is my last shot I might as well have fun,” said Valasek, “I’m looking to go a little bigger and throw some more in the routines.”
Patrick Henry’s Keion Greenhow stuck her Yurchenko pike to take first place in the vault with score of 9.650. “I just want to give it my all,” said Greenhow, who placed fifth all-around.

Hanover’s Corbin Allen does more than sit on Smithfield’s Carter Paige en route to claiming a 7-3 victory in the 152-pound title match in the Region 4A South wrestling championships Saturday.
“We have to finish this season up,” Moore said, “We have to go there (the Group 5A tournament) with the intentions of trying to win a state title, first one from the Central Region.” In addition to Keener and Morris, Lee-Davis will be sending David Boyle (runner-up in the 152-pound class), Taylor Campbell (third place in the 195-pound class) and Tyler Wooten (fourth place in the 126-pound class) to the state tournament.

and 55 hurdles. Favored in the triple jump, Roe didn’t come up with her best mark of the season, but 38 feet, 4¾ inches was enough to hold off India Lowe of Atlee for the region title. “I wanted to jump a little further in triple jump, but it feels good to come in first,” Roe said. “I love team sports, so I’m happy I can contribute with points to help get my team to state along with the rest of us who have already qualified.” Mills Godwin girls’ 3,200 relay team of Marin Bader, Katharine Benfer, Hannah Bullen and Sarah Goodrich won in 9:35.65.

Yellow Jackets handle Wasps By David Halstead For The Mechanicsville Local With two games to go in the regular season, the RandolphMacon men sit alone atop the Old Dominion Athletic Conference standings. No. 21 Randolph-Macon got off to a slow start, but picked up the pace and knocked off Emory and Henry 65-39 on Saturday afternoon inside Crenshaw Gymnasium. With the win, the Yellow Jackets improved to 18-5 overall and 12-2 in the ODAC. R-MC now awaits an unfriendly foe at home on Wednesday at 7 p.m. in Hampden-Sydney. The Yellow Jackets finish off the regular season on the road at Washington and Lee Saturday at 2 p.m. “There is a long way to go,” head coach Nathan Davis said. “I say that and there are two regular season games and the tournament left. We can’t worry so much about what the other teams are doing and focus on the task at hand, which is making sure that we get better on Monday and prepare for Hampden-Sydney. The rest will
take care of itself.” The Yellow Jackets took an early 4-2 lead before a 19-6 run by the Wasps (2-20 overall, 0-13 ODAC) gave the visitors a 21-10 advantage. R-MC then scored 15 straight points over the next nine minutes to regain the lead 25-21 with 2:43 left in the first half. “Finally our guys were like this is enough,” Davis said. “We are going to go after them and start dictating what is going on at this end of the floor and when we do that, we can guard just about anybody pretty efficiently.” A three-pointer by junior Connor Sullivan capped the 15-point run and R-MC would take a 30-26 lead into the locker room at halftime. A layup by junior Marcus Badger four minutes into the second half gave R-MC its first double-digit lead at 38-28. A few minutes later after a Wasp basket, R-MC again scored 15 straight points over a sevenminute stretch to take a commanding 60-34 lead with less than four minutes remaining. The Yellow Jackets then emptied

their bench to finish out the victory. “We wanted to refocus on the things that make us good, which is being unrelentingly on defense,” Davis said. “We want to be all over the place pressur-
ing the ball, playing the post, and just making it tough to get shots off. We want to be playing with poise and purpose on offense, which I think we did earlier in the game.” Senior Andre Simon fin-
ished with 18 points and nine rebounds to lead R-MC. Sullivan scored 11 for the firstplace Yellow Jackets while junior Akeem Holmes added 10 points and five boards off the bench. “Andre has been playing great
all year,” Davis said. “I think he has a legitimate opportunity to become player of the year in the league. ... He is our go-to-guy and he has been everything you could possibly ask for out of a senior.”
Randolph-Macon women overcome slow start to beat Quakers By David Halstead For The Mechanicsville Local Randolph-Macon College finished with a flurry and knocked off Guilford 80-74 in a key Old Dominion Athletic Conference women’s basketball game Saturday afternoon in Crenshaw Gymnasium. The Quakers (16-6, 8-5 ODAC) jumped out to a quick 14-7 lead in the game’s first three minutes. R-MC (18-5, 11-3 ODAC) trailed by five at
38
22-17 before a 13-4 spurt gave Guilford its largest lead at 35-21 with 7:25 remaining in the first half. R-MC would pull within eight, but trailed 45-33 at the break. “I’m really proud of the team. I was pretty harsh on them at halftime and I think we came out in the last twenty minutes and they paid attention to what I said we needed to do to correct our inefficiencies,” Randolph-Macon head women’s basketball coach Carroll
The Mechanicsville Local
February 19, 2014
LaHaye said. “I’m really proud that we came back and took control of the game and played the way we needed to.” Guilford maintained its lead early in the second half. The Quakers led 61-49 with 11:45 remaining before an 11-2 run by the Yellow Jackets made it 63-60 with 8:30 left. “I think they finally decided that we are only down by four or five points and we can win this game,” LaHaye said. “We just need to give ourselves a
couple more opportunities and we really decided to play some defense on their key players and prevent them from getting the ball on the block.” Guilford pushed its lead back up to six at 67-61 before a 6-1 run got R-MC within one at 68-67 with four minutes remaining. Junior guard Sarah Parsons had a steal and a layup to give the Yellow Jackets their first lead of the game at 69-68 with 3:30 left. It was an advantage that
Randolph-Macon wouldn’t relinquish as layups by forwards Taylor Huber and Katie Anderson capped a 12-1 run to give R-MC the lead for good at 73-68 with 2:30 to go. Huber, a junior, led all scorers with 26 points while Anderson, a sophomore, had 15 points and eight rebounds. Parsons added 13 points while freshman guard Marisha Berry had four points, four rebounds, three assists and five steals for the Yellow Jackets.
“Our goal that we said at the beginning of the season was to be undefeated in Crenshaw,” Huber said. “So far, we have accomplished that goal. So we have one more game and then we’ll be golden.” Randolph-Macon returns to action on Wednesday with a 7 p.m. ODAC contest at Washington & Lee University before closing out the regular season at home Saturday afternoon at 2 p.m. against Emory and Henry College.

No burning law now in effect Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com The Commonwealth’s 4 p.m. Burning Law went into effect on Saturday, Feb. 15, which is the start of spring fire season in Virginia. The law prohibits burning before 4 p.m. each day until April 30 if the fire is in, or within 300 feet of, woodland, brushland or fields containing dry grass or other flammable materials. “This law is one of the most effective tools we have to prevent wildfires,” John Miller, director of resource protection at the Virginia Department of Forestry (VDOF), said. “Each late winter and early spring, downed trees, branches and leaves become ‘forest fuels’ that increase the danger of a forest fire. By adhering to the law and burning between 4 p.m. and midnight only, people are less likely to start a fire that threatens them, their property and the forests of Virginia.” In addition to open burning, debris burning in metal barrels has been the source of wildland
fires this year. “If flames and sparks are flying out of the barrel, that increases the chance they’ll land in dry grass or leaves and start a wild fire,” Paul Reier, VDOF technician in James City, Charles City and New Kent counties, said. “Be sure the barThe law prohibits burning before 4 p.m. each day until April 30 if the fire is in, or within 300 feet of, woodland, brushland or fields containing dry grass or other flammable materials.
rel is secure and won’t tip over, causing the fire to spill out. Stay with the debris barrel while the fire is burning, and be sure to properly and safely dispose of the ashes.” Reier also said that metal barrels should be in good condition — not weak with rust or full of holes. A mesh wire screen, with openings of ¼-inch or less, should cover the top of
The Mechanicsville Local
the barrel. A violation of this law is a Class 3 misdemeanor punishable by up to a $500 fine. In addition to the criminal violation, those who allow a fire to escape are liable for the cost of suppressing the fire as well as any damage caused to others’ property. To learn more about how to protect yourself and your property, visit dof.virginia.gov. The Virginia Department of Forestry protects and develops healthy, sustainable forest resources for Virginians. Headquartered in Char-lottesville, the agency has forestry staff members assigned to every county to provide citizen service and public safety protection across the Commonwealth. With nearly 16 million acres of forestland and more than 103,000 Virginians employed in forestry, forest products and related industries, Virginia forests provide more than $17 billion annually in benefits to the Commonwealth.
