STOPS AT EVERY HOME IN TOWN
Citizens voice support for proposed 2015 budget By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local More than a dozen speakers voiced support for this year’s budget proposal, and specific opposition to an idea of cutting the real estate tax by 2 cents at a recent Hanover County Board of Supervisors’ budget public hearing.
If there is extra money in the upcoming budget, a number of citizens had ideas on how best it could be spent, pointing to schools, the Sheriff ’s Office and other pressing needs. “I respect that Hanover is conservatively run and that we have a AAA bond rating,” Dr. Michelle Schmitt said. “Now, there’s more to be had and

Hanover County School Board members recently tackled a myriad of issues at a workshop session. Members talked about employee compensation and the issues surrounding that issue. Sue Dibble, South Anna District, and John Axselle, Beaverdam, rated the issue number one on their lists of pressing priorities. “We really need to get a handle on what we are doing with our employees. I think we should take a look at what we are paying now and see if that’s an acceptable set of standards or should we look at something else,” Dibble said. “People teach people. Our teachers are our front line. It’s a constant vigil to make sure we are compensating them correctly so we can keep good teachers,” Axselle added. “Bricks don’t teach, people teach.” Glenn Millican, Mechanicsville, said employee compensation is important, especially the post-retirement issue facing the system.
“That experience lost is very, very valuable. We can be productive longer. Everyone can benefit from this, especially the students. They’re dealing with instructional staff that really wants to be in the classroom,” Millican said. Chairman Bob Hundley, Chickahominy, addressed the current step system and senior teachers who have surpassed the top of the scale. Hank Lowry, Ashland, pointed out the School Board had previously cited merit pay as a method to address some of the inadequacies. Dr. Jamelle Wilson, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools, said increases are given on a merit basis increase. Each employee has annual goals and expectations. Lowry asked how many teachers did not meet the goals. Charla Cordle, assistant superintendent of Human Resources, said, “Very few.” Lowry suggested the board consider a “real” merit system. Cordle said the step system has suffered with recent freezes and some steps are compensated at the same rate.
“We have moved teachers every year. They have gone up a step, but they may not have received increases,” she said. “We give credit for every year teaching. It’s not a pure system.” In the past, she said the system assumed 30- to 35-year tenures for most teachers, but that trend is changing with a challenging economy and teachers are staying longer. Transportation for special education students also was discussed after numerous parents expressed concerns at recent school board meetings. Hundley said there are solutions, but none come without costs. “We looked at many aspects. There are a number of issues that go into that discussion. We came away with recommendations we wanted to do but there were budget restraints,” Hundley said. The chairman reminded fellow board members that transportation is not required by any school divisions, and spoke against common gathering areas during inclement see PRIORITIES, pg. 24

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
Fighting cancer in the name of love
Connie Dickerson, like so many of us, lost a loved one to cancer. But she isn’t just mourning her husband Jimmy’s passing: She’s taking action to fight the disease that took him from her. She has organized a fundraiser, Jimmy’s 1 Love, in memory of Jimmy Dickerson. Jimmy’s 1 Love will be held from 6 to 11 p.m. on Saturday, April 26, at Wakema Plantations at 2301 Wakema Road in West Point. On the website www.jimmysonelove.org dedicated to her husband, Connie said, “We all have lost someone, a relative, a friend, a neighbor to the dreadful disease cancer. In my case, I lost my husband and my best friend on July 26, 2012.” The phrase — In His Memory, Let’s Fight Cancer Together — streams across the top of the home page. Connie, a well-known hairstylist in Mechanicsville, received a letter of endorsement from VCU Massey Cancer Center. As one of 68 National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers in the country, Massey supports Connie’s fundraising efforts and encourages the public to help her in this fight against cancer. Massey is partnering with Connie in the April 26 event. At $85 per person, the fundraiser — formal attire, black tie optional — later this month will feature live entertainment, music and dancing. For more information and tickets, contact Alan Furs at 804-673-2505 or Connie Dickerson at 804-218-0596. While Connie lost Jimmy to the dreaded disease, she is determined to help others by raising funds to fight cancer. We join with Massey in applauding those who work to raise awareness and funds for cancer research. Monies raised on behalf of Massey Cancer Center stay in the Richmond area to benefit all Virginians. Connie’s one love, Jimmy Dickerson, can be remembered with your support of her efforts. Let’s help her and so many others by raising much needed research funds to find that cure. Melody Kinser

Rethinking Virginia’s SOLs By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist I’m not the first voice in a chorus of Virginians who have questioned the wisdom of the current Standards of Learning tests administered to students in our state. Having covered their existence from their infancy, I’ve had personal reservations from the planning stages, and quickly realized any system designed to appease usually has serious inadequacies in practice. Back when the tests were conceived of and designed, there was a growing movement in America to test teachers for competency and merit. Of course, teachers’ unions vehemently opposed any system of testing for teachers, so legislators came up with what they considered the next best thing, testing the students. It was, by all estimations, a compromise to quiet the unions.
I suppose, in theory, the reasoning could be defended. Students who did well on the tests would represent quality teachers who were doing their jobs. Conversely, schools that consistently failed would realize the problem was with its staff of teachers. The problem is that performance in certain school districts is more complicated than a case of good and bad teachers, and no one disputes there are plenty of both in our school systems. Unreasonable expectations in challenged schools did not result in better programs for our students, but only an emphasis on how test scores could be raised. While proponents say those two occurrences are directly correlated, many experts disagree. State systems, like Virginia’s SOLs, provided the model for the national effort called No Child Left Behind. The system has failed to produce negotiable results in student achieve-
ment and has evoked loud protests that teachers are teaching to the test and not educating our children with real world 21st century skills. Over the years, the number of tests has risen to what some would consider obese numbers in Virginia, and students currently take more than 30 tests from kindergarten through 12th grade. And educators have quickly realized that schools that do not meet the expectations face public scrutiny and humiliation if they fall short. That has resulted in more pressure on teachers to make sure their students know the information contained on the tests. Some say that’s been accomplished at the expense of reading, writing and arithmetic. In the latest session of the Virginia General Assembly, legislators took a closer look at a growing perception see SOLs, pg. 15

Supervisors clarify positions on decrease and surplus By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Before hearing comments from the public regarding this year’s proposed budget, several members of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors clarified earlier statements concerning rolling surpluses associated with the current budget. Mechanicsville District representative Canova Peterson expanded comments he made at the last supervisors’ meeting regarding contingency funds in the county’s coffers. “As one might expect, the talk of Hanover being able to consider a tax cut when many of those around us are looking for tax increases probably came as a shock to a lot of people,” Peterson said. But, he said the idea of a 2 cents tax reduction overshadowed his concerns. “The bigger question was about the scope

of contingency funds being held by Hanover County and whether or not these funds were appropriate,” he said. Peterson was referring to the $7.5 million included in the budget from prior year surpluses. “I questioned whether it was good fiscal policy to maintain a rolling planned surplus funds. In my mind, you can’t plan on a surplus on a continuing basis unless you plan it into the budget up front,” Peterson said. “These are funds that are never intended to be spent durHAZZARD ing the budget year.” He also said that adds another contingency fund in addition to the county’s healthy 12.6 percent reserve fund.
“For that reason, I questioned whether or not it was responsible for these funds to be continually rolling over and doing nothing” Peterson said. Peterson noted the funds should be either spent on county needs or returned to the taxpayer. “I would suggest using these funds to meet those needs and eliminating the use of planned rolling surpluses.” Vice chairman and South Anna District representative Wayne Hazzard, who several weeks ago suggested the board consider a 2 cents real estate tax deduction, also responded. PETERSON He said increased real estate revenues are expected to rise due to higher assessments over the next five years.
“We don’t have a tax increase in pennies. We have a tax increase in assessments,” Hazzard said. He pointed out the steady rises in real estate revenue projections for the next five years, a $28.8 million increase. “We’re not even addressing the spending at this point These are areas of growth in revenue and surpluses that we are talking about using, and the question comes up: Are we better off letting the county decide what to do with it or give some of it back to the citizens?” Hazzard said. He said his proposal would not take effect until January 2015 and would not affect revenues for this fiscal year. Angela Kelly-Wiecek, Chickahominy District, also responded by noting that real estate assessments have gone down over the past few years. “I think it’s only fair that you look at the costs we cannot control as a board,” she said, pointing to health and retirement benefits and other services dependent on “market forces.”

budget what you have done to our future infrastructure needs. I ask you not become intoxicated by the idea of being able to offer tax cut, and ask you to be courageous both this year and next,” she said. Rachael Levy spoke on behalf of Friends of Hanover Schools. “We continue to be concerned about the state of our older school buildings,” she said. “Most schools are operating on software that is at least a decade old. All of this means a lower level of education of our children than citizens have come to expect from Hanover County.” She continued, saying, “We are strongly opposed to the 2 cents tax cut for this or next year or the year after that, that was suggested at the March 12th Board of Supervisors meeting. We believe that committing to such a tax cut using a one-time positive funds balance would be fiscally irresponsible.” Chris Pace, a teacher at Hanover High School, reinforced positions taken by other

More than 100 people filed into the meeting room of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors last week for a discussion on the proposed 2015 budget. More than a dozen speakers took an opportunity to express their thoughts on the document scheduled for approval next month.
educators who took the opportunity to speak at the budget public hearing, and also had some ideas where extra revenues could be spent. “If there is a few million dollars sitting around, it would make a nice down payment on the new courthouse,” Pace said. Bob Bailey, a Chickahominy resident, spoke in favor of
the Sheriff ’s Office and their requests for additional personnel. Although he described himself as a tax-cutter, Bailey also said he does not support a tax reduction at this time. “I compliment you for your consideration of a tax cut. I would suggest that now is not the time for a tax decrease,” he said. Many citizens spoke in
opposition to the idea of a tax reduction, some citing fear of reduced educational funds. The 2 cent reduction was an idea floated by Wayne Hazzard, vice chairman and South Anna District representative, and has not received board consensus, but the idea had stirred emotions in many of the featured speakers at last week’s hearing. Angela Downer, presi-
dent of Hanover Professional Educators, also opposes any reduction in the county’s tax rate. She acknowledged the school administration’s hard work in securing modest gains for educators in this budget, but said it doesn’t go far enough. “The 2 percent raise, while a step forward, is insufficient to reward and retain Hanover’s outstanding teachers,” she said. “Please keep in mind that many of our teachers are single parents.” Chickahominy resident Bill Callahan also opposed the 2 cents reduction. “In my estimation, Hanover County cannot responsibly entertain a 2-cent reduction in the property tax. What is the benefit of this reduction? Every single county department budget has been cut for years and they all need to restore depleted or ignored resources, and, most importantly, compensate and or rehire staff,” he said.

As her “bump” grew in her second trimester, Heather was fascinated by how nature knew exactly what to do to her body. That’s when she started thinking about her delivery options. “I knew I wanted to deliver at a hospital that would allow me to labor naturally. At that point, I knew Bon Secours was the best choice for me.” Heather was also excited about their CenteringPregnancy® program which provided additional support and social interaction. “I chose a midwife and hydrotherapy services to manage my labor. When Piper was born, there was no medical intervention.”

LETTERS Continued from pg. 6
Mr. Bartels and the many teachers like him deserve a tremendous thank you. Clarence T. Hunter Jr. Mechanicsville
Letter about homosexuality (Editor’s note: The following was submitted in response to Gwen Townsend’s letter of March 19, 2014.) Your Judeo-Christian rant in the March 19 edition of The Mechanicsville Local was appalling, and I am ashamed to have grown up in a county with such closed off and naive interpretations of the world. You’re selecting passages from a book written over a thousand years ago to spew your anti-homosexuality agenda. I feel like I know the answer to this, but did you ever question whether or not everyone believes in the same god as you?
Your perception of your divine creator is just that: yours. It is not mine, and I am sure that many people deviate from your beliefs about “God,” even some of your fellow Christians. Homosexuality is not a choice, it is our biological sexual preference, and controls which sex(es) we are attracted to . . . I’m not sure exactly what you’re expecting . . . to “pray the gay away,” or just condemn every person to eternity in hell that differs in your views regarding sexuality . . . either way, there is no place for your antiquated sense of judgment in our society. In closing, Leviticus 3:17: It shall be a statute forever throughout your generations, in all your dwelling places, that you eat neither fat nor blood (I hope you are a vegetarian,
Gwen.) Ephesians 6:5: Bondservants, obey your earthly masters with fear and trembling, with a sincere heart, as you would Christ, (you’re right, we have gotten away from God. Thomas Jefferson is probably in hell for his role in the abolition of slavery.) I am no Christian, but I Imagine as one you would focus on the loving characteristics of your deity, not the ones that condemn people to hell for their sexual preference. P.S. If I were the parent of a child in Mechanicsville, I would be much more concerned about my children reading such judgmental hate rhetoric than I would be about them seeing men kissing in public. Aaron Rowe Mechanicsville
Letter issue and publication
Science theorizes quite convincingly that people evolved from life forms that began on earth 3.5 billion years ago. Real fossils that you can hold in your hand are older than when the Bible says God created all life. At the end of Gwen’s letter she challenges readers to attend a Bible study group to find out what God’s textbook is all about. I challenge Gwen to read a science book to see what it is all about. Roger Leek Mechanicsville
intolerance for homosexuality. All the arguments were based on one interpretation of the Bible. Well, guess what, writer? Not everyone holds the same beliefs as you do. The U.S. cannot and should not be governed based on the beliefs of one (of many) interpretations of one religion. Leave that way of governance to the Taliban. Judy M. Thomas Mechanicsville
Gwen Townsend’s hateful religious diatribe is appalling, and so is The Mechanicsville Local’s decision to print (so much of) it. Gwen is constitutionally entitled to her opinion, and she is free to yell it from the rooftops, but why would The Local provide her a pulpit? Contrary to Gwen’s beliefs, homosexuality is not a choice. People cannot repent from homosexuality, it is a genetic trait. Genes are not mentioned in God’s textbook because when it was written people hadn’t disIn response to the letter covered genes yet. submitted by Gwen Townsend, Now we have real scientific your Bible must be missing I read a letter in the March some pages. evidence proving that the universe was created 13.7 billion 19 Mechanicsville Local in see LETTERS, pg. 17 which the writer expressed her years ago.

that the tests are too numerous and the numbers should be reduced. Others have called for the elimination of SOLs. Either way, the writing is on the wall for a system that outgrew its usefulness almost on the day it was introduced. To many, it’s clearly a case of good riddance. Are rumblings at the Virginia General Assembly the first sign of SOL reform and eventual elimination? Not yet. With millions of dollars invested in a system less than two decades old, it’s doubtful the elimination of SOLs is right around the corner. But, addressing the number of tests and the perception that teachers are teaching to the test is a sure step in the right direction.

Seventeen homeschooled children (ages 5 to 14) from FAITH (Families Aligned In Teaching At Home) helped deliver donated food items from Cool Spring Baptist Church to MCEF (Mechanicsville Churches Emergency Fund) on Monday, March 24. FAITH is a homeschool group that is in partnership with the Cool Spring Baptist Church. FAITH’s main goals are to provide service to Cool Spring Baptist and the community, to provide support to their members, and to share their lives with one another. Other service projects the children have participated in include: helping with a Cool Spring staff appreciation luncheon, cleaning the preschool Sunday School toys, raising money and packaging meals at Stop Hunger Now, folding boxes for Operation Christmas Child, caring for the Memory Garden at church, and making Valentine’s Day cards for their staff and a local nursing home.

LETTERS Continued from pg. 15
Yes, the Bible (mostly the Old Testament) does contain passages that reference homosexuality, but there are many other passages which are just as black and white. Exodus 21: 20-21 Anyone who beats their slave must be punished, but they are not to be punished if the slave recovers after a day or two, since the slave is their property. Leviticus 20:9 Put to death anyone that curses their parents. Leviticus 21:17-23 No man with any defect (blind, cripple, dwarf, the list is long) can come near the alter. 1 Timothy 2:12 “I do not permit a woman to teach or assume authority over a man; she must be quiet.” Surely, Mrs. Townsend, you would not condone the actions of slavery or beating someone or condemning to death someone who curses their parents or commits adultery or preventing women from having equal rights. Yet, according to the
Bible, these are all sins, many punishable by death! Do you feel we have moved further from the Creator by not practicing these Biblical traditions? Then why does the idea of homosexuality (an idea that doesn’t involve you in any manner or form) cause you so much angst? I have several friends who are gay, some of whom have agonized over the persecutions from people just like you, who shame them for who they are. They are Christian, they go to church, they want to love thy God with heart, soul and mind and love thy neighbor. But you, on the other hand, are casting stones with pen and paper. Our homosexual neighbors are our brothers and sisters, nieces and nephews, sons and daughters, friends and coworkers. They are no more and no less perfect than every other person on this planet. They deserve all the human rights every other human on this
planet deserves, and all the protections and provisions every other citizen in this country is afforded, including you. Clay Mottley Mechanicsville
Thank you, HABCC On behalf of the men and women in the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office I wanted to share a huge amount of gratitude to the Hanover Association of Businesses & Chamber of Commerce (HABCC), their members and their financial sponsors for their gracious generosity. Last evening (Thursday, March 27, 2014) at the conclusion of the sheriff ’s 14th Annual Awards Ceremony, Emma Lee Melton, president of the HABCC, presented the Hanover Sheriff ’s Office Foundation a most generous check in the amount of $7,000. The mission of the Foundation is to serve those
and their families that serve our community with dedication, sacrifice and honor while furthering the goal of providing for the safety and well-being of all citizens of Hanover County. Mrs. Melton’s presentation of this gift was extremely timely right after we had just recognized and honored so many law enforcement professionals who protect and serve our community with such distinction and valor. We are so fortunate to live, raise our children while also creating a safe atmosphere where businesses can thrive in part because of Hanover’s finest. The Sheriff ’s Office and all of its members live by their motto: “Continuing to be a part of, not apart from, the community”. As a business owner, resident, as well as having the honor to serve as president of the Foundation, I can say it truly is a genuine partnership that I am extremely proud of for all of us that are fortunate enough to live and work in such a wonderful
community that we enjoy here worse with each passing year. in Hanover County. Joseph Pierro John A Cox Mechanicsville President Hanover Sheriff ’s Office Foundation

Airport name sparks reaction Kudos to the Hanover County Board of Supervisors for naming the field at Hanover Airport “Frank D. Hargrove Sr. Field” in recognition of his instrumentality in founding the facility.

Looks like there’s a troublemaker on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors asking for a 2-cent tax decrease for the tax payer! I wonder what’s wrong with him. That move must be highly unusual because he has upset the Friends of Hanover Schools and I’m sure there will be other county employees upset also. Is it too much to ask to let the taxpayers keep their money see LETTERS, pg. 19

until it is actually needed? I bet there are people less fortunate than government employees who could have used that money. If I remember correctly there has been money to surface in the past that supposedly nobody knew we had and it came just in the nick of time to get used for salary increases to get rid of it. Typically government will wastefully spend left over money due to “if we don’t use it we lose it.” Remember when our great Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) found almost a billion dollars they didn’t know they had and then rushed to get rid of it. Some of the road work was so crappily done that it would have been better left alone and other roads done that didn’t need it and should have been left alone. I bet now they don’t know where the billion went. Anyway, if the Board of Supervisors wants to give us
a 2-cent tax decrease I’m all for it. I’m sure someone will sell a house in Old Church to a sucker with more money than brains and cause my property values to get out of hand again. I’m also sure the increased value will gobble up the 2-cent decrease. While we are trying to do something for the taxpayers, I have a couple money-saving suggestions. Vernon Auto Group in Vernon, Texas, sells all brands of vehicles, cheaper and gives a free 100 percent parts and labor lifetime warranty on power train, transmission, engine, front and back wheel drive. I saved $2,000 on a Dodge Ram with free lifetime warranty. HamptonRoadsWholesalers will do your picture framing for a fraction of others. Check them out, I bet you save 50 percent or more.

Crowned the “Mayor of Old Church,” Janice Williams was a dear friend and neighbor for 20 years. With a twinkle in her eye, a kind word and a giving heart, she was always a fountain of encouragement and inspiration. Teaching to others consumed her life. Just recently she gave a history lesson to three Battlefield Bobcats, two of which were mine. She detailed how the Henry family immigrated from Scotland and heavily influence not only our community, but our nation. She explained that a Henry was a rector at the “Old Church,” which stood on her property, and, of course, she spoke of Hanover’s favorite son, Patrick Henry. Dr. William Bosher commented that Janice Williams,

Responding to opposite beliefs After taking a few minutes to read the letter submitted by Gwen Townsend and published in the March 19 issue of The Mechanicsville Local, I’m not even sure where to begin. First, let me say that I’m glad Ms. Townsend is committed to her faith and that it gives her comfort. What does not settle well with me is when she uses that faith to try and tell anyone how to live their own lives.
try to tell her that her life is not up to my standards and that she should change. It would appear that she is well versed in the Bible and that she believes everything in it, so we can assume that she lives a biblical life and follows all the rules. Deuteronomy 22:11 “You shall not wear a material mixed of wool and linen together. 1 Corinthians 14:34 “Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak” Leviticus 19:28 “You shall not make any cuttings in your flesh on account of the dead or tattoo any marks upon you. I am the Lord” 1 Timothy 2:11-12 “Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.” Ephesians 5:22-33 “Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband
its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands. Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word. Deuteronomy 22:5 “A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor shall a man put on a woman’s cloak, for whosoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.” Well, see, I know the Bible too. Very well actually. There are at least two dozen other admonishments to women in the Bible. Doesn’t feel very good, does it? Remember this is my right as a man, according to the Bible.

weather due to the infrequency of demands for that system. “This is a one in 20-year event, so I don’t see any need to try to address it,” Lowry said. Regarding instructional program evaluation, Hundley had questions regarding assessment results and how benchmark assessments are treated. Wilson said the dual enrollment sign-up number for next year stands at 28 district-wide. The deadline for enrollment was extended to March 31, and counselors have visited all 10th grade classrooms to explain the
BOUNDARY Continued from pg. 1
Board members Norman Sulser, Cold Harbor, and Hank Lowry, Ashland, have voiced their support for redistricting of some school districts in an effort to fully utilize the county’s resources. Citing a recent facilities
new program. Lowry suggested holding assemblies for sophomores “to get them excited” about the program.” I don’t think we are doing a good job of advertising.” If students had the opportunity to sign up in December and January, Lowry said more students would have participated. Norman Sulser, Cold Harbor, said the number of students who actually take the exam and receive college credit in AP (Advanced Placement) classes is disappointing, and touted dual enrollment as an alternative offering.
Some members said questioning the motivation behind not taking the exams is a step too far. “I wouldn’t want to get in a competition between programs, dual enrollment versus advanced placement. Let the children and parents pick. They’ll tell you,” Axselle said. “I don’t see them competing. I see them as complementary,” Sulser said. Sulser and Lowry noted that a large percentage of students don’t take the AP exams and do not receive college credit for the class. The board reached a consensus in support of the coun-
ty’s extensive career and technical training programs and urged the administration to continue to explore public-private efforts. Dibble said she was concerned to learn that not all students who apply for the technical center classes are accommodated due to space restrictions. “We need to do something better or different to accommodate the needs of these students or we risk losing them,” she said. Dr. Jamelle Wilson, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools, said the number of interested students in auto
repair, cosmetology and culinary arts exceed capacity at the Hanover Center for Trades and Technology. Hundley noted the facility could be expanded if interest continues to grow in the technical trades. School Board meeting structure also got a closer examination from members. “I would like a lot more opportunity for public input in this process,” Dibble said. “I want a more engaging opportunity with the public.” She suggested more joint town hall meetings with members of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors in each
specific district. “I would like to see us have a work session once a month. We don’t have enough time to discuss issues at our regular meeting,” Lowry said. “We need additional meeting time to get through some of these issues,” Hundley said. Millican suggested more interactive interaction with the public. “If we get a good basis of reports, issues will become evident very quickly. It would give the community the direction we are on and allow them to tell us what direction we should be
assessment study, David Myers, assistant superintendent of Business & Operations, said Atlee High School may require some relief in the next 10 years, but other schools like Hanover High School and Oak Knoll Middle School will only realize slight increases during that same period. “Based on our numbers of
our facilities assessment, we do not have any capacity issues at this time,” Myers said. “It seems the growth areas will likely be in the Atlee Station corridor.” Sulser contends Hanover and Oak Knoll are underutilized and not an efficient use of the county’s resources. “If we are going to use our buildings most efficiently, you
want to be as close to 100 percent as you can,” chairman Bob Hundley said. “I’m not worried as much about the 95 percent to 100 percent capacity numbers as long I don’t see some massive development on the way.” “I don’t see a problem with Atlee’s 96 percent. I see a problem with Hanover, a $37 million building. We are not fully utilizing that building,” Sulser said. “What part of that building are we not utilizing?” Hundley asked. “If we are going to minimize our costs, you need to have your excesses in one place,” Millican said. “I’m really left in the dark
because there’s no correlation between the student population and square footage. What are we going to save if we move a certain population from one school to another?” Lowry approached the issue from an operational costs perspective. “We’re trying to equalize the utilization of our resources,” he said. “We’re not looking to make changes here tonight.” “How much time has it cost us already?” Axselle said. “This is a waste of our time. Why should we make any changes at this time? I don’t see where another work session is going to change anything,” Earl Hunter. Henry District, said. Axselle said his constituents are concerned with recent articles in the newspaper regarding redistricting. “It’s not benefiting the kids.
If we as a board agree with staff then we should move on to other things,” he said. “I sense the majority of the board may not be interested in even having this discussion.” But Hundley said he had promised a workshop session on the issue and was willing to hold one to discuss the pros and cons. Sulser said after the meeting that he sensed his idea was not endorsed by the majority of board members. “Apparently, I think, that the five who would vote to make no changes do not have a problem with Hanover schools under utilizing our newest high school and our newest middle school by 25 percent each or approximately $15 million a year. This equates to $170 million plus underutilized since these two school were opened.” Sulser said.
BUDGET
budgets can be reduced. “There is waste and in this budget and we need to find it. The will has to there and you just need to look,” Hill said. “I ask you to comb through the budget and look at it the way you would your own,” he added. Board members did not respond to the public comments and will consider approval of the budget next month.

Police investigating threat at King William High School BY REED WILLIAMS Richmond Times-Dispatch
Authorities are investigating a message scrawled in a bathroom at King William High School that threatens to “kill everyone.” The message was brought to the attention of the school’s principal about 10 a.m. Thursday,
said King William County schools Superintendent Mark Jones. Officials said they are taking the message seriously and will be adding security at county schools today and next week. The message, written in a boy’s bathroom at the school, says, “I will kill everyone.” Written below the threatening words is Monday’s
date. Beside the message is a crudely drawn symbol that authorities said they do not recognize. King William sheriff’s Lt. Tim Hixenbaugh said he has sent a picture of the symbol to law enforcement officials nationwide to see if anyone recognizes it. Authorities on Thursday were
trying to determine who wrote the message and why. Hixenbaugh and school officials said they were unaware of any other similar incidents at the school. “This is somewhat out of the ordinary for here,” Jones said. About 650 students attend the

I believe the Bible is about love, being the best you can be, not passing judgment, and being kind and respectful to one another.
I don’t judge you for what you wrote or what you believe, no more than I judge anyone else who scours any multitude of versions and translations in order to find justification for their belief system. I also believe that I am accountable for my
actions, my belief system, my soul, my relationship with whatever god I believe in. There are thousands of books of doctrine, thousands of Bible translations, thousands of different religions, and billions of people who believe differ-

Hawks’ pitchers keep Monacan hitters quiet By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Hanover High School’s head baseball coach Charlie Dragum wanted to give a number of his pitchers some time on the mound when Monacan came to Mechanicsville for a game Thursday night. Unfortunately for the Chiefs, it meant they never had a chance to get a bead on the Hawks’ hurlers. The four Hanover pitchers Monacan faced combined for a 9-0, nohit shutout. Derek Casey started the game for the Hawks (2-0) , pitching four innings before handing over mound duties to Mathew Corley in the fifth inning. Reeves Lowry took over in the sixth and Haden Moore closed out the seventh. The four pitchers combined for 14 strikeouts. “We ran into a really good baseball team. We haven’t seen arms like that yet,” said Monacan head coach Gerry Mann. “This early in the season, that’s tough.” The rotation of pitchers during the game made it tough for the Chiefs (0-2) to get a bead on any of the Hawks. “You can’t make an adjustment, because they’ve got another guy coming in that’s got a plus arm, too,” Mann said. “[Hanover] ran it up there pretty good. They were domi-

nant. That’s probably the reason why they’re the defending state champions.” Dragum just wanted to give his pitchers some quality time on the mound. “We threw a bunch of pitching tonight, and all of them pitched exceptionally – a lot of strikes, got ahead of hitters,” Dragum said. “We’re trying to give them some mound time.
You can’t fake that. They’ve got to get it during the game. Obviously, we’ve got a really good staff of kids. We’ve got 10 kids I feel confident that we can put out there, so finding innings for them is difficult sometimes. Later in the season it gets more difficult.” Dragum also gave a number of players time behind the plate, too. Troy Szalay began as
catcher. Hunter Marshall came in in the fifth inning, and Brady Didlake took the post behind the plate in the sixth. Third baseman Trevor Denton went on a tear offensively for the Hawks, going 3for-3 with a triple, five RBIs and two runs scored. Center fielder Hayden Moore went 2-for-3 with two runs scored. Ben Nachman, who subbed for
Moore, hit a double in his only at-bat. “We did a good job at the plate tonight,” Dragum said. “Trevor Denton had another big game tonight. He got us going with an early hit … and then a bases-loaded triple late in the game that helped out a lot.” Hanover got all the runs it needed for a win in the first inning. Shortstop Josh
Shepherd opened the inning with a walk and advanced to second on an infield single by Moore. Shepherd stole third and Moore advanced to second. One out later, right fielder Elliott Sledd hit a sacrifice fly to score Shepherd and move Moore to third. Denton then singled in Moore to make it 2-0.

Hanover’s Kiandra Mitchum no-hits Monacan By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Hanover High School pitcher Kiandra Mitchum did not let visiting Monacan feel at home when the Chiefs came over for a Conference 20 softball contest Thursday night. Mitchum pitched a no hitter, striking out 16 in leading the Hawks to a 7-0 victory. She allowed only one baserunner – Ellis Jordan – whom she walked in the opening atbat of the game. “On the wrong end of a nohitter – the pitcher did a good job,” said Monacan coach Billy Lewis. “You can’t win many games if you don’t touch the ball.” Lewis said Mitchum was overpowering his hitters. “For most of them, she was throwing the ball by them,” Lewis said. “You could see the ball go by, then the bat go by. It doesn’t work. A couple of them hit the ball hard. They hit it straight to somebody. [The
Hanover players] made good defensive plays on the other end.” Mitchum helped the Hawks (2-0) offensively as well, going 2-for-4 with a double, two RBIs and a run scored. Left fielder Lacey Sullivan was perfect at the plate, with three hits in three at-bats, 2 RBIs and two runs scored. Hanover had eight hits overall. “We’ve been focusing on hitting the ball,” said Hanover coach Stephanie Acors. “Hopefully it’s going to win us more games than [just] tonight.” Haley Gilbert had a double and RBI. Third baseman Erin Acors had a triple and two RBIs. Coach Acors was also happy in that the offense was spread throughout the lineup. Hanover’s offense managed only a run in both the first and second innings before scoring five total in the third and Dave Lawrence/The Local

Henrico gets payback in Hanover’s court By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com

Last year, Hanover’s and Henrico’s high school boys’ tennis teams finished the regular season tied at the top of the Capital District standings. Hanover won a playoff to claim the championship heading into the Central Region tournament. Thursday, the Warriors visited the Hawks for a little payback, and they got it, defeating Hanover 7-2. “Hanover and Henrico played some very tough matches last year and that a lot of the players on Hanover have played a lot of the players on Henrico
several times throughout the year,” said first-year Hanover head boys’ tennis coach Bill Wheaton. “[Henrico’s] extremely deep from my perspective, all the way down. They played exceptional on Thursday.” Three of the singles’ matches went three sets: the No. 1 match between Hanover’s Danny Polk and Henrico’s Shyam Venkatasubramanian, which Venkatasubramanian won 46, 6-0, 6-2; the No. 3 match between Hanover’s Logan Healy and Henrico’s Aadil Abbas, which Abbas won 6-4, 3-6, 6-3; and the No. 4 match between Hanover’s Zach Palmer and Henrico’s Hilton Epps, which Palmer won 3-6, 6-2, 6-4.
The No. 2 singles match, between Hanover’s James Pollard and Henrico’s Jake Weber, was finished in two sets, but ended in a tiebreaker which Weber won 6-3, 7-6. “I think when we play Hanover, anything can happen,” said Henrico coach Joe Allred. “We won this one 7-2. They could win the next one 7-2. All of the matches were close. … They’re a strong team and I felt very fortunate to win 7-2.” Allred said the difference Thursday was probably one of successful education – Hanover’s No. 2 singles player last year graduated, whereas the Warriors returned all of their starters this season.

Atlee manhandles Patrick Henry in boys’ lacrosse Atlee High School got its boys lacrosse season off to an explosive start at home Friday night. The loaded Raiders squad hosted an experience-depleted Patrick Henry team and the experience differential quickly made itself felt, as Atlee scored seven unanswered goals in the first quarter and rolled to a 22-1 victory. Atlee (1-0) was led by Booth Watson with five goals and by Chalin Fairly, Alex Jones, Eric Peck, Phillip Sening and Ryne West with two goals apiece. The Raider defense kept starting goalkeeper Hunter Bagby from having much to do for most of the game. “There was a couple of good shots,” Bagby said. “Our defense played really well.” Even though he did not have that much to do, he enjoyed the game. “It’s good. It’s fun to support the offense and see how many guys can get goals,” Bagby said. “It’s cool to see some of the freshmen score tonight.” Even a team as dominant as Atlee was Friday, the Raiders were not immune from making mistakes, such as on Patrick

fourth. Mitchum got the ball rolling for the Hawks in the bottom of the first with a single, advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by catcher Maura Long, and scored on a double by Gilbert. Sullivan opened the second inning with a single for the Hawks. Right fielder Mackenzie Wyatt sacrificed her to second.
Henry’s sole goal – by midfielder Brett Turner in the third quarter. “The guy was left open on a crease on a fast break,” Bagby said. “We messed up on defense – we didn’t talk it out. It happens.” Bagby knows the Patriots (02) well, and knows how young they are this season. “Patrick Henry, I feel like they have a really young team,” Bagby sad. “They lost a lot of seniors last year. Hopefully they’ll grow in the future.” Despite the drubbing, the Patriots hustled throughout the game. Head coach Tory Hendelman sounded quite positive as he talked to the team in the post-game huddle. “We have an absolutely fantastic group of players,” Hendelman said. “We have strong senior leadership.” Hendelman said they knew they were in for a rough ride against the Raiders. But they had plenty of goals to work on to make the evening’s effort a success. “We were trying to preach today that this game was about a lot of victories other than the one at the end of the game,” Hendelman said. “We needed to make some improvements. We made some big changes in
the way we play our game since Monday, and [the team members] gave us everything that we asked for, all the effort that we asked for. So tonight we found opportunities to show ourselves that we were succeeding – and
we did.”
Sullivan scored one out later on a double by Mitchum. The three-run eruption in the third inning began with one out. First baseman Kaylyn Shepherd and center fielder Jessica McLaughlin drew backto-back walks. Both advanced on a sacrifice bunt by Erin Acors. Sullivan singled in Shepherd and McLaughlin. Wyatt was hit by a pitch, and second baseman Eryn King singled to load the bases. Mitchum drew a bases-loaded
walk to bring home Sullivan and make it 5-0. Hanover began its fourth inning with back-to-back walks to Gilbert and Shepherd. Both advanced on a passed ball. One out later, Erin Acors’ triple brought them home. Despite the drubbing, Lewis found a number of things his Monacan team did well. “They brought the ball back into the infield. … I put a couple of younger players in to give them a little field time, and
they caught a couple of balls and ran a couple of plays and threw somebody out, so it’s all a good game,” Lewis said. “It’s one of those games you wipe out of your head and move on. … Sometimes you’re the dog, sometimes you’re the bush.”

Area track & field teams make move outdoors By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Hanover’s four track & field teams are coming off strong finishes from the indoor season. Atlee’s girls won the Virginia High School League Group 5A state indoor track & field championships, and Patrick Henry finished fourth. The Lee-Davis and Atlee’s boys’ teams finished second and third, respectively, in the Virginia High School League indoor track & field championships this winter. And Hanover’s girls won their first district or conference title. The challenge for the teams now is to maintain that momentum, as inevitable personnel changes come with new seasons and different sports to participate in. All of the area teams are affected to some extent by inter-season turnover, and that turnover may make it difficult to for the teams to repeat their winter successes. Atlee The Raiders brought a lot of depth to the state meet, and that is unlikely to diminished much by the loss of team members to spring sports. Coach Jim Triempler had more than 150 athletes to choose from in the indoor season. Triempler could not be reached for comment by press time, but he will likely have distance runner Nathaniel Hall, “jack-of-all-trades” David Segovia, and pole vaulter Bryce Simpson back providing leadership on the boys’ squad. On the girls’ side, India Lowe will likely be handling multiple tasks in hurdling, jumping and running events; Kat Grassberger and sisters Scarlett and Chloe Bavin back in distance events, and Katie Gardner and Zaliah Carey back for shorter-distance events.

Lee-Davis The Confederates face an uphill battle in repeating their indoor track performance, as they lost most of their depth other sports this spring. “I’m going to lose some and gain some,” said head Lee-Davis track coach Neil Matthews. “On the girls’ side, almost all of our depth went to soccer and lacrosse and tennis. That’s pretty much all of our girls’ depth. We’re very thin; very, very young in outdoor track for the girls.” On the boys’ squad, the Confederates won’t lose as much depth, but they will not be able to count on the presence of a key member of the team – hurdler Haiden Lamb, who plays center field for the baseball team. “[Baseball’s] his primary sport,” Matthews said of Lamb, who will continue his baseball career at Virginia Commonwealth University after graduation. “Running track was kind of something he picked up along the way. He’ll be doing some part-time stuff with us this spring. … When he can get away from baseball and his commitments there, he’ll help us out. Depending on how the schedule falls, that could affect us a lot, or not much at all.” Matthews said a number of his distance runners – including Robbie Courter, Austin Morgan, Josh Doss and Evan Hargreaves – will be gone to soccer and lacrosse. Those losses will be balanced by some able to join the track team now that the winter season is over. They include Chris Bundy from basketball, who will contribute in hurdles, sprints; Will Hazelwood from wrestling, in shot put and discus. Matthews said their secondplace finish in the indoor state meet has helped recruiting for

the spring. But Matthew said they face a hard road ahead to get to second – or higher. “It takes a lot to make a run like that energy wise,” Matthews said. “Our kids, they’ve got to unwind and we’ve got to build
them back up. … We should team back, especially Shania still be very competitive and in Williams, the defending girls’ state outdoor shot put chamthe hunt.” pion. Brown expects a lot of leadership from Williams, who Patrick Henry Patrick Henry head coach also won the indoor title this Scott Brown gets most of his winter. He hopes she will also
be able to deliver in the discus. “We’ll see what she can do in the discus outdoor,” Brown said. “She’ll have a little bit more competition. Our goal is to get her over 130 feet for the outdoor season.” The Patriots are also expecting a lot from multitalented Crishna Hooker. “She kind of fills in a bit see TRACK, pg. 33

everywhere for us, being able to long jump, high jump, triple [jump]. She’ll hurdle,” Brown said. “We’re trying to work on her in the 300 hurdles for the outdoor season, which keeps her busy during the meet but that’s going to be a big area of concern for our team. Can we continue to improve in the hurdle area?” Brown is hoping to get some of his distance runners healthy as well. The distance department will be anchored by Ashley Cole, Blakemore Winston and Kanani Collins. The Patriots signing of a new football coach has boosted enthusiasm for track on the boys’ side. He expects good things from Parrish Gordon, Javonte Straus and Daquan and Jaquan Morris. Newcomer distance runner Grant Davis has a lot of potential to contribute to the Patriots’ success. Hanover According to track coach Jennifer Ennis, the Hawks lost just one girls’ distance runner to spring sports. Most of the heart of the boys’ squad returns intact, with only middle distance runner Casey Cook’s presence in doubt. Cook, a fixture in the 300 and 500 runs and 3,200 relays, plans to focus on boys’ lacrosse in the spring. They will have some new faces, though. Mattie Grant comes from the Hawks’ swim team to compete in distance events; and Kendall Pully, a volleyball player, will compete in middle-distance events such as the 400 and 800. Ennis said Hanover’s girls’ team will be strongest in the jumping events, followed by the distance events. Leila Haynesworth will lead the charge. Haynesworth did well in the Group 4A state indoor meet, but was not entirely happy with her performance. “That’s the sign of a good
athlete, not being satisfied” Ennis said. “She didn’t have the best luck with the hurdles, but in the jumps she did well and she still wasn’t satisfied. I think that’s going to drive her to want to do better.” Haynesworth is not the only Hawk determined to do better. “Winning conferences, as much as that was our goal [in the indoor season], definitely was a big surprise given that it was the first title for our track team in school history,” Ennis said. “I think that’s going to carry some momentum in motivating the girls to want to continue that.” King William King William had a number of good distance runners in the fall on its cross-country team, but the Cavaliers will have to do without the services of a lot of them in track & field. Nevertheless, head track & field coach Malcolm Tupponce feels pretty good about the team. “The girls’ squad is pretty strong,” Tupponce said. “The strength, I believe, this year is going to be mainly with the sprinters, because a lot of the girls who ran cross country play soccer. So we don’t have too many of those. In fact, we only have one two-miler and three milers.” Tupponce said prior the time King William began fielding a girls’ soccer team two years’ ago, most of the girls now playing soccer were on track. Nevertheless, he feels the Cavaliers will be competitive. “We’ve got a good bunch of athletes who are working hard,” Tupponce said. “I think we’ll be fine.” Tupponce expects a lot of leadership from middle-distance runner Miranda Moss, who competes in the 800-meter run as well as anchoring the 1,600-meter relay and 3,200meter relay. Aislynn Smith will help Moss in the middle-distance department. Shamyra Wilkerson and the Isaac twins

Almirola visit highlights food donation at RIR By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Richard Petty Motorsports driver Aric Almirola came to Richmond International Raceway Saturday to take a spin Wednesday afternoon. While a few lucky individuals were going to get a chance to ride shotgun in the legendary No. 43 car, quite a few families were going to benefit from the main event at the track that day – the donation of 40,000 pounds of food to Feed More’s Central Virginia Food Bank. Almirola’s sponsor, Smithfield Foods, partnered with Kroger and Richmond International Raceway to fill the tractor-trailer full of the food destined for the food bank.
Bob Weber, senior director of business development at Smithfield Foods, announced the donation in the infield garage area. “We have done a number of these, close to about 300 donations across the country, many of them with Kroger,” Weber said. “We have donated over 25 million meals in the last six years. … We’re thrilled and excited to be able to do this with our partners today.” Almirola said it meant a lot to him to be a part of the event. “I have two kids at home. I could never imagine putting them to bed hungry,” Almirola said. “That’s a reality for some people.” One of the sponsors, Kroger, announced a ticket promotion
in which people who purchase $200 of groceries (not including alcohol) at one visit to Kroger get tickets for two to the Toyota Owners 400 on Saturday, Apr. 26. Almirola quickly moved on to the topic of racing, saying he hopes to get a win at RIR this spring – though he did not really want to wait that long for a trip to Victory Lane. He has been on a roll of late, finishing at a career-best third place at Bristol Speedway and eighth at Martinsville last week. In other news, Richmond International Raceway announced that the Virginia 529 College Savings Plan agreed to Nationwide Series Race, the Virginia 529 College Savings Plan 250, in the fall.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you may be tempted to question the actions of others this week. But try to focus instead on what you are doing and do not be concerned with the motivations of other people.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, your romantic life is full of complicated patterns and obstacles, which could be taking their toll on your relationship. Some subtle changes might get things back on track.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Get outdoors and enjoy some fresh air, Sagittarius. Fresh air is just what you need after a bout of cabin fever. The weather is breaking and outside projects beckon.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Express your passion for a special project to a loved one, Pisces. Don’t be afraid to share your feelings with those closest to you.
