mary progressive multiple sclerosis (MS). This is the 15th year that my wife Lee and I have participated in the MS Walk. We would like to make 2014 a special year and invite you to join us by either walking or contributing to the Walk MS: Richmond.

Multiple sclerosis affects millions of people, including our co-workers, friends, families and loved ones. That’s why we registered for Walk MS. Walk MS is where we connect and each step we take brings us closer to a world free

of MS. Walk MS connects people living with MS and those who care about them. It is an experience unlike any other — a day to come together, to celebrate the progress we’ve made and to show the power of our connections.

When you participate in Walk MS, the funds you raise give hope to the more than 5,600 people living with MS in our community. The dollars raised support life-changing programs and cutting-edge research. Every connection counts.

I am asking you to support me in Walk MS because this cause is meaningful to me.

Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable, often disabling, disease of the central nervous system that interrupts the flow of information within the brain, and between the brain and body.

Millions of people are affected by MS and the challenges of living with its unpredictable symptoms, which range from numbness and tingling to blindness and paralysis.

The progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are moving us closer to a world free of MS. Visiting the ER and hospital stays occur more often as my disease progresses.

Your gift helps support cutting-edge research and programs and services for everyone impacted by MS. Ending MS means no one will receive an MS diagnosis again. Every step matters. Every dollar counts. Every person makes a difference.

I have had the wonderful and pleasant opportunity to work with so many of you as neighbors, church friends, colleagues and community members supporting others within our community.

Now that I have slowed down I’d like to ask for your involvement in our 15th year participating in Walk MS: Richmond. It my sincere hope that this letter will inspire you to please join us by walking or supporting Team Hanover.

Please visit www.iwalkforms.org to donate or get more information.

If you choose to make a donation online, please be sure that it gets credited to Lee Nelson, Team Hanover. Walk MS: Richmond is being held at 4200 Innslake Dr., Glen Allen, VA. We look forward to seeing you there!

BUDGET Continued from pg. 1

Tax Rates are listed for 2:30 p.m. in the board meeting room in the Administration Building at the government complex in Hanover.

When county administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. presented the budget on Feb. 26, good news paved the way for his proposal, with real property values on the rise and contributions from the state and sales tax revenues also increasing.

Harris’ proposal adds six deputies to the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office, increases funding for education, rewards county employees with pay raises, and reflects a recovering trend in the county’s economy.

Education funding would be increased by $2 million and allow the division to hire 18 additional positions in the classroom.

ART Continued from pg. 1

His grandmother primarily focused her talents on landscapes. While many of her works remain with the family, Perry said she did sell her works. “She was the only one that actually sold,” he added.

The proposed budget also includes a $24 million Capital Improvements Program (CIP) for the county’s aging schools and their maintenance.

Hanover County Public Schools would benefit with an operating budget increase of 5.3 percent or $8.6 million next year.

In terms of budget related ordinances and resolutions, the supervisors will consider debt reimbursement and increasing fees for water consumption by 4 percent and sewer consumption by 1 percent and various other changes.

A 2 percent raise for county employees, including teachers and school personnel, also is in the plan.

At their most recent meeting, on March 26, more than a dozen speakers voiced their support for the budget proposal.

Today’s meeting will get underway at 2 p.m.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

Public safety, education top our budget musts In recent years, we’ve acknowledged the challenges Hanover County leaders face at budget time. Well, this year isn’t any different.

We don’t envy the choices the Board of Supervisors must make in the “cut or keep” category. With that being said, we are hopeful that those we elect to serve hold to the promises they make to their constituents.

They’ve heard from you during public hearings and constitutional officeholders have pleaded their cases for the needs of their offices. Now we’re down to adopting the budget proposed by county administration and elected and appointed officials.

Here’s where we get on the soapbox to join with so many in our county in requesting needed funding for public safety (law enforcement and fire and rescue) and education.

No, we don’t want to see any services eliminated or seriously wounded by budget cuts. The pluses far outweigh the minuses for those who call Hanover County home.

Our strongest plea, like so many, is for the tools — and that includes personnel — desperately needed by the sheriff, fire chief and superintendent of schools.

Again, we don’t envy the decisions the supervisors have to make — but we encourage them to work with public safety and education for the betterment of all. As the old saying goes, the ball’s in their court.

The Mechanicsville Local

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist Voltz Jaegermanis would not be happy.

The man with that strange sounding name was my first journalism professor at Virginia Commonwealth University, the man tasked with taking gifted writers and turning them into news machines.

I entered Journalism 101 with a fair amount of enthusiasm, much less expertise, and a total lack of perspective of mass communications in the print realm.

I left with a healthy respect for the profession and a clear understanding of what was acceptable and what was not. More importantly, I learned where that line existed and how close to the edge you could go.

Many students in those early journalism classes at VCU went on to

stellar careers in journalism, and all exited with the basic guidelines of good reporting.

As we turned in our first story, the fiery East European red-lined our opinionated garble, left only the facts, and made all feel inadequate.

Although many of us entered the program with inflated opinions of our creative writing skills, we quickly learned it was of little use in an arena where confirmed facts ruled the day.

Which brings me to the coverage of the tragic air disaster currently capturing headlines around the world. Flight MH370 has become a live-for-television version of “Lost,” and cable news ratings have skyrocketed with constant and sometimes non-stop coverage of an event where few facts exist, and real data seems to be at a premium.

There’s no doubt the story is intriguing, and the concept of a missing airliner hidden on some desert

island is an enticing script.

If there was any remaining doubt as to the authenticity of cable news anchors, it has been all but obliterated in the recent coverage of the downed plane.

Fantastical speculation, endless assumptions and pure nonsense have highlighted coverage, and true journalism, or at least the kind Voltz taught, has taken a back seat to reality television.

In a situation where there are no facts, real reporters have no job, or need to be there. It’s not an indictment, but a simple reality of the business. No news means no news.

I guess all of this leads to the inevitable question of why Americans are so mystified and infatuated by disasters like the Malaysian air disaster.

I suppose the partial answer is see MISSING, pg. 8

A tradition now in its 34th year, oysters and tractors take center stage at a fundraiser sponsored by the Mechanicsville Ruritan Club and Hanover Habitat for Humanity. How fortunate we are to have these organizations partner for what was a funfilled, energy-packed day. But that’s the norm.

Need for volunteers I am writing to add to Elizabeth Giles’ letter to the editor of March 26, 2014, “Funding for fire and EMS staff.”

Ms. Giles appears to know that the Hanover Fire and EMS Department is a combination organization made up of career and volunteer members.

Please notice I use the term “career,” not professional, for there should be no difference in the professionalism of the

inable regarding the loss of the plane.

The breaking news banner on several of these networks displays just how seriously they take the news business.

There is no breaking news on the crash, and, at this writing, not one piece of debris has been recovered from the plane.

It’s a real mystery, and perhaps a reminder that even in an age of constantly evolving technology, the realistic thought of a large 777 going missing is unsettling.

career and volunteer staff.

Indeed, training and certification requirements are the same. Many of us are current or retired firefighters and EMTs in other jurisdictions.

Hanover County has been served by volunteer firefighters and Emergency Medical Technicians for many decades before the current Fire and EMS Department was formed early in this century.

Currently, the volunteer staff far outnumbers the career staff at a tremendous savings to the county residents.

We are blessed as citizens of Hanover County and the Town of Ashland to have so well run and cooperative an organization as the Department of Fire and EMS. I understand Ms. Giles’ concerns over coverage in some areas of the county, and I know Chief Jethro Piland and his staff address this issue daily.

APD gets CALEA reaccreditation

The Ashland Police Department recently received its national Advanced Law Enforcement with Excellence reaccreditation through the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies Inc. (CALEA) during the 2014 spring conference in Garden Grove, Calif.

In December 2013, CALEA sent a team of assessors to the Town of Ashland Police Department to assess the agency’s compliance with internationally accepted law enforce-

ment professional standards.

At the conclusion of this process the assessment team particularly noted the department’s “commitment” to the adherence of these standards.

During the department’s conference hearing, Review Commissioner John Kittredge quoted from the assessor’s report, “A sense of agency pride and family was prevalent throughout the agency. It is evident that CALEA standards and practices have become part see APD, pg. 17

be able to work part time, but they fall below the federal poverty level. Again, they make less than the federal poverty level but fall in the donut hole of the Affordable Care Act. Why? Because the Virginia General Assembly chose not to expand Medicaid!

Medicaid expansion or the compromise Marketplace Virginia must be included in the upcoming budget. The Virginia Senate recognized this and through a bipartisan compromise a solution was reached.

Others, in the meantime, continue to argue that this discussion should not be part of the budget discussion. Why not? It is about getting federal tax dollars we’ve already paid coming back to Virginia. I would think that should be an important budget consideration.

I know from personal experience how this is affecting people. I have a family member who worked regularly for

six years after college until he developed a seizure disorder of unknown origin. It gradually got worse, making full-time work impossible.

The condition can only be controlled with very strong medication, which results in dizziness and drowsiness for a large part of each working day. He has not had health insurance since he left full-time employment.

Even then, it would not cover anything related to his seizures because of the antiquated “preexisting conditions clause.�

He is the perfect candidate for subsidized health insurance to pave the way for better health and employment in the future.

But the Commonwealth (or at least a significant number of legislators) is determined to block this pathway. I am embarrassed and dismayed at the state where I have lived, worked, and paid taxes for more than 50 years.

It is time to step up, Virginia!

COTA is saving kids’ lives The Children’s Organ Transplant Association (COTA) was founded in 1986 when residents of Bloomington, Ind., rallied around a toddler who needed a life-saving liver transplant.

In less than eight weeks, the community raised $100,000 to place the boy on the organ waiting list. But the child died before an organ became available.

Those community volunteers, along with his parents, turned tragedy into triumph by using the funds they raised to help other transplant families. That was the beginning of COTA. Since that time, COTA has assisted more than 2,000 patients by helping to raise funds for transplant-related expenses.

COTA has built extensive volunteer networks across the nation in an attempt to ensure that no child or young adult needing an organ or tissue transplant is excluded from a

transplant waiting list due to a lack of funds.

COTA needs your help to make sure that tragedies, like the one that was the catalyst in founding COTA, are not repeated.

Every day 18 people die waiting for an organ transplant here in the United States.

April is National Donate Life Month. Please register today to become an organ donor. Then, encourage your friends, family members, neighbors and associates to take two simple, lifesaving steps: register as an organ donor at www.donatelife.net or your state’s license bureau, and express your wish to be a donor to your family members.

You can do more. Find out how you can help a COTA family living nearby who needs your help by visiting www.cota.org.

Please log on today to see how you can give hope and make a miracle in your community.

Habitat for Humanity receives $15,000 grant Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Hanover Habitat for Humanity has received a $15,000 grant from Capital One. The grant will support the cost of construction for the Herrera family home and to continue Habitat’s efforts to provide financial literacy training.

This is the third year Hanover Habitat has received a grant from Capital One. John and Montserrate Herrera, with their two children, moved to Hanover County over a year ago from Spain.

Both John and Montserrate work two jobs each in order to provide for their family.

The Herrera home is under construction in Hanover Habitat’s neighborhood, Bailey Woods.

The Herreras will work alongside volunteers and provide at least 300 hours of sweat equity towards the construction of their home.

It is estimated that the Herrera home will be completed by the end of May. “Capital One has been an amazing partner providing both donations and volunteers over the years� Tim Bowring, Hanover Habitat for Humanity executive director, said.

In 2013, 353 Capital One employees volunteered 2,471 hours of service to Hanover Habitat for Humanity. The estimated value of time in which Capital One employees volunteered was $56,585.90.

This year Capital One will be working weekly from June to December. “It is a blessing to have so many dedicated volunteers, willing to give their time and help support our families�

Casey, Hawks defeat inexperienced Raiders

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com No matter what Atlee tried, they could not find the range of Hanover starting pitcher Derek Casey.

Casey struck out 11 Raiders in four innings, leaving with a comfortable 5-0 advantage to lead the Hawks to a 9-2 victory on Atlee’s home diamond last Tuesday night.

“They’ve got a great pitcher,” Atlee head coach Barry Burton said of Casey. “He’s going to get you sometime. You have to accept it. You have to try to stay in the ball game. … That’s tough, I don’t care who you are.

That guy throws hard.”

Despite that, Hanover head coach Charlie Dragum said was not having his best night.

“It wasn’t his best game by far, Dragum said. “He was fighting some stuff, but yeah, he threw good. He’s tough. He’s an experienced pitcher that knows how to get outs even though he’s not on, which is a huge thing.”

Casey was not the only problem the Raiders faced.

For example, a defensive lapse on a dropped third strike in the fourth inning allowed the Hanover batter, Anthony Zona, to reach base and eventually score, helping the Hawks get four runs instead of at most one that inning.

“We’re having growing pains, that’s the bottom line,”

Burton said. “You play people like this and whatever your weaknesses … they’re good and they’re going to compound them. They’re going to multiply your weaknesses.”

Dragum said luck did play a

bit of a role in the Hawks’ win.

“I thought we caught a few breaks here early that give us a little life,” Dragum said. “It was one-nothing for a little bit and it was close. [Atlee starting pitcher Collin Bazemore was throw-

ing really well, and he pitched some of our guys really tough.

We caught a break on a call that I think helped us have a big inning and then … everybody lightened up and we played well from then on.”

pointment, Burton looked forward to the rest of the season.

“I’ve got every confidence in the world we’re going to have a good ball club,” Burton said.

One run all Hanover needs to beat Raiders

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com One run is all the Hanover High School Hawks needed.

They got that one run at the start of the game when their starting pitcher and leadoff batter, Kiandra Mitchum, scored on a Kaylyn Mitchum single to claim a 1-0 victory over host Atlee Tuesday night.

Mitchum singled, advanced to second on a bunt by Maura Long, stole third, and came in when Shepherd hit the ball into deep left field.

No one came to the plate after that, but to bat, and few got on base after that as Mitchum and her Raiders’ counterparts, starting pitcher Laura Kate Moss and reliever Peyton St. George, settled into a dogged pitchers’ duel, with each teams’ pitchers backed by solid defense.

For example, Mitchum only struck out five batters, but she likewise allowed only five baserunners.

“It was our third game, but it was the first really decent team that we saw,” said Atlee head coach John Earley. “We were looking forward to playing a quality team to see what we needed to work on. …

We learned a few things. We

learned we need to execute a little bit better offensively with our bunts, and we need to be more selective as far as the pitches that we’re swinging at.”

Those challenges highlight-

ed themselves at the bottom of the seventh inning. Atlee had Mattie Fitzgerald on third base and Annamarie Warley on second base with just one out. But the Raiders could not get any-

one home. The game ended on a pop-up to the infield.

“It was pressure to the end,” said Hanvoer head coach Stephanie Acors. “I’m really glad we got put in that situa-

tion early in the season because it shows we have a lot to work with. … We had five total hits, six left on base, so we have some improving to do.”

Mitchum led the Hawks’

offensively, going 3 for 4 with a run and a complete-game on the mound. Eryn King went 2 for 3.

Warley had a double and Casey Barrett had another hit.

Hawks girls beat Confederates in tennis

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Even though the score was not close, no one at Lee-Davis High School Thursday night can cay that the tennis match between the Confederates and visiting Hanover was anything but a slugfest.

Hanover and Lee-Davis players fought hard, long matches over the course of the evening, but the Hawks ground

the Confederates down for a 7-2 victory.

“I thought they were great matches,” said Hanover coach Kim Weis. “We pulled out two matches that went three sets.

I had one girl who came back after losing the first set. They all showed great toughness.”

Lee-Davis coach Nancy Sheridan said she felt pretty good despite the loss.

“The girls, they played well,” Sheridan said. “We just had

some tough opponents. I know my girls always hang in there and fight ‘til the end.”

One of the longest matches of the night was the No. 2 singles match between Hanover’s Laurel Mauer and Lee-Davis’ Kensley Watkins. Mouer eventually won 6-2, 3-6, 6-1, but then she and teammate Caroline Hare had to turn around and face Watkins and Chelsea Matthews in the No. 1 doubles match, which the Hawks’ won 8-4 – but the

match did not end until well after 8 p.m.

Lee-Davis edges Patrick Henry in double overtime

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com When the boys’ lacrosse teams of Lee-Davis High School and Patrick Henry High School came together Friday night, both teams were determined not to lose.

One can argue neither team did.

But the visiting Confederates ended up winning in sudden death in two overtimes when attacker Jake DeBord found a hole in the right side of the Patriots’ defense for a goal – and a celebration of their 9-8 victory.

Patrick Henry had a onegoal advantage, 7-6, at halftime, but the scrappy Confederates never game up, coming back to tie the tame twice to tie the game – the last goal with about a minute left in regulation.

“It was a great battle,” said Lee-Davis head coach Jarrott

Patteson. “Two great programs trying to build Hanover County lacrosse. Can’t have it better than two overtimes, two teams battling. Unfortunately, one’s got to win.”

R-MC defeats Virginia Union

Atlee wins Capital track meet

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com The Capital District’s track teams held a reunion at Atlee High School Wednesday night.

It proved a happy reunion for the host.

The Raiders won both the boys’ and girls’ competitions by a wide margin, with Hanover and Lee-Davis finishing second and third, respectively, among the girls’ teams and the Confederates’ finishing fourth in the boys’ meet with Hanover at fifth.

One of the most exciting races of the night was the last, the boys’ 1,600-meter relay. The Raiders, fell to the middle of the pack on the first leg, but overtook several teams on the second leg, took the lead on the third leg and coasted to a comfortable winning margin by

the end.

“It was interesting,” said Atlee head coach Jim Triempler.

“Our leadoff leg was Faucel Inocencio. … I just told him to try to stay close for the others because we had probably three of our best athletes if not our best athletes running two, three and four. And he did the job. Nathaniel [Hall] pulled us up close and Tre [Fields] took the lead and David [Segovia] held on.”

Hanover’s girls’ team was boosted by success in the jumping events, with Leila Haynesworth winning the long jump and triple jump. Taylor McCormick won the high jump.

“It was nice to get a lot of our kids in individual events because our first meet was the Machester relays – an all-relay meet,” said Hanover coach

Jennifer Ennis. “We have a very young team, most of them are freshmen. They did really well.

It was a good experience for them to not be thrown in a meet with 50-something people.”

Lee-Davis coach Neil Mathews said the Confederates did pretty well despite the lack of practice.

“We’re probably not ready to be racing yet because we haven’t been able to practice a whole lot with the weather,” Mathews said. “But we had a lot of good things happen tonight – little things that go unnoticed, not like the final time or final mark, but like kids warming up properly, preparing for their event properly, getting their marks in the correct spots, being on time and stuff that showed me that we’ve learned a little bit from see TRACK, pg. 34

The Shock consisted of Lauren Melton, Hannah Sexton, Madeline Atkinson, Emily Edwards, Natalie Oleson, Hailey Rombow, Morgan Miller and Alana Pickett; and coaches Terry Melton and Eric Sexton.

For the first time this season, the fourth- to fifth-grade divisions concluded their season with a tournament. On the boys’ side, the Crimson Tide – with a strong pressure defense led by Nick Owens, Sam Owens, Grayson Payne and Henry Atkinson – marched to a 9-0 season record, capped by a tournament championship game victory over the thirdseeded Rams. Other team members were: Logan Polivka, Tyler Geist, Garret Irvin, Jake Owens, Zach Grimes and Matthew Burton; and coaches Joe Irvin, Amy Atkinson and Glenn Mantlo.

In the girls’ division, the Cardinals capped a 7-2 season with a 15-14 victory over the Volunteers in the championship game.

Randolph-Macon sweeps Guilford in twin bill

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com The Randolph-Macon Softball team began a grueling weekend Friday in grueling fashion.

The Yellow Jackets faced three straight doubleheaders over the weekend, beginning with a home stand against Guilford College. But neither team could put the opener away and went three extra innings before Katie Woody hit an RBI single in the bottom of the 10th to give the Yellow Jackets a 4-3 win.

Randolph-Macon had a hard time getting ahead of the Quakers – ranked second in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference going into the nightcap, but pitcher Jenna Best added offense with a two-run home run to break a 4-4 tie and put Guilford away with a 6-4 victory.

“It was a gut check,” said Randolph-Macon head coach Kevin Proffitt. “It’s a good thing when those happen. It’s always better when you can play like that and end up on the right end of the score. … I told [the team] there were a couple of times you guys probably could have crumbled a little bit, but we stayed strong and got two great pitching performances.”

They did. In the oepner, Kelsey McLaughlin pitched all 10 innings, striking out six while giving up only 10 hits and walking only one. In the nightcap, Best held the Quakers to seven hits, with three walks and four strikeouts.

“We had way too may should-haves,” said Guilford head coach Dennis Shores.

“There’s not errors, but you should have made the catch.

You should have made the throw. But it’s two great softball teams. The ODAC’s tough.”
