Family prepares for another birthday without Brett By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com Shannon Wells is planning a birthday party, but the guest of honor’s seat will be empty. Her son Brett, who would be celebrating his 19th birthday on April 18, was killed by a single gunshot to the chest three years ago. Last Friday, she spoke in-depth about her son, the incident that
claimed his life and the trio who are now imprisoned for his death. Shannon lost Brett on Jan. 21, 2012, when Kevin M. Drayton Jr. of Mechanicsville and Da’von T. Byars and Xavia S. Highsmith, both of Richmond, came to the Wells’ Verdi Lane home in Mechanicsville. According to the preliminary report released by the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office, they were supposed to have been there to buy marijuana.
A financial transaction, however, was not part of their plans, officers said, as they intended to steal the marijuana. An apparent altercation took place, with Brett being shot. Drayton, Byars and Highsmith were found guilty of second-degree murder and received 27-year sentences for killing Brett. Shannon and Darrell Wells had sent their youngest son to Luther Memorial School, a private school in

2014 GOVERNOR’S VOLUNTEERISM AND COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARDS
Governor honors local families’ service Staff Report news@mechlocal.com Two Hanover County families have been honored by Gov. Terry McAuliffe as winners of the 2014 Governor’s Volunteerism and Community Service Awards. Williams Bakery of Mechanicsville was recognized with the Outstanding Small Business Award and the Frank G. Castelvecchi III family of Montpelier received the Outstanding Family Volunteer Service Award. The awards ceremony was held on Thursday, April 10, at the Governor’s Mansion. TheWilliamsandCastelvecchi families were among seven recipients of the awards. Ronnie and Cathy Williams, owners of Williams Bakery, a Richmond-area fixture since 1911, have been giving back through donations of food and service throughout their history. Twice each month, the family-owned bakery donates enough bread, cookies and pastries to the Western Hanover Emergency Action Team (WHEAT) food pantry to serve
up to 100 families. For six generations, the Castelvecchis have served their neighbors through the life-saving role of firefighting. Today in Montpelier, if there’s an emergency — chances are a Castelvecchi will be there when the alarm sounds. For the Castelvecchi family, service to the community isn’t something you do with your extra time left over at the end of the day — it is a daily way of life. According to the Governor’s Office, the awards recognize individuals and organizations for their extraordinary volunteer efforts that make an impact on the lives of citizens throughout the Commonwealth. “Building a better Virginia isn’t just about what elected officials do here in Richmond — it’s about the work that devoted volunteers are doing every day in their own neighborhoods and communities,” McAuliffe said. “Each of these awardees has given of their time to make life better in their corner of the Commonwealth. It is my honor to celebrate these exceptional groups and individuals, who

should be an example for all of us of what Virginians can achieve when we work together for the common good.” Virginia Department of Social Services Commissioner Margaret Schultze said, “The impact that one person or group can make on an entire community is commendable and should be celebrated. It’s important that we recognize those who have made significant contributions to those in need by volunteering right in their own communities.” Fran Inge, director of the Virginia Department of Social Services’ Office on Volunteerism and Community Service added, “Each year, the Commonwealth recognizes those who have demonstrated a commitment to serving their communities. These individuals and organizations are among the 1.79 million Virginians who made a difference in the lives of others by volunteering last year. Virginians on average contributed more than 221.7 million volunteer hours annually, equaling $5.1 billion of service to the Commonwealth.
The awards ceremony was organized by the Office on Volunteerism and Community Service at the Virginia Department of Social Services, in partnership with the Governor’s Advisory Board on Service and Volunteerism. These organizations are charged by the Governor with saluting Virginians who have significantly contributed to the life and welfare of the Commonwealth and its citizens. ——The Governor’s Volunteerism and Community Service Awards are presented by the Governor’s Advisory Board on Service and Volunteerism and VDSS’ Office on Volunteerism and Community Service on behalf of the Office of the Governor. These awards have recognized exceptional volunteer service in Virginia for more than 20 years.

4-3 vote moves boundary line issue forward To the dismay of several Hanover County School Board members, the question of revamping school district attendance zones will get a closer look. They voted 4-3 to approve the formation of a study group to study attendance zones and consider alternative solutions to inequities. Cold Harbor representative Norman Sulser made the motion after several speakers voiced support for further study during the meeting’s public comment period. Several speakers addressed reports from last month’s work session regarding boundary adjustments and the most efficient use of Hanover County Public Schools resources. They took issue with what seemed like a consensus at the last meet-
ing that did not favor further a further study of attendance examination of the boundary zones. The Hanover Grove resident line issue. said there are capacity inequities, noting that Hanover High School has a 16:1 student ration while Atlee High School’s figures are 20:1. He said there also is a discrepancy in test results, highlighting higher pass rates at Hanover High when compared to Atlee and Lee-Davis High School. “For someone on the board to say that it’s a waste of time to look at relieving some of the student population at Lee-Davis Jim Ridolphi for The Local and Atlee High Schools, I’d Parent Mark Lavender said he thinks there is a need for just like to say shame on you,” a study of boundary lines Bourassa said. in an effort to utilize school Mark Lavender echoed capacities at their best levels. those sentiments and said the Roger Bourassa told board data does support a study of members he did not agree with possible new boundary lines some members’ assessments that would better utilize the that there is not data to support county’s facilities.
“I would support a boundary line adjustment with the ultimate goal of helping our school system run at an acceptable efficiency level for both students and staff,” Lavender said. Sulser has consistently supported a resource adjustment and suggested the county take a closer look at some of the boundary lines, citing an inequity in capacity levels at county campuses. During the April 8 regular meeting, Sulser suggested the formation of a study group to study boundary attendance zones at Oak Knoll Middle School and Hanover High. His motion was clear in its intention, stating that a “goal of sending more students to Oak Knoll and Hanover High.” While some board members

OPINION | The Local Views
Listening can often yield greatest gifts
From the editor
Volunteers: they make our community great Last week, volunteers throughout Hanover County were recognized for their efforts and how they make our community such a great place to call home. What they give to us merits our thanks on a daily basis though. For example, do you ever think about the time volunteer firefighters devote to our county? We often publish articles about open house events and fundraisers that also serve as opportunities to learn about becoming members of the many stations operating in our communities. We cannot adequately express the appreciation and admiration we have for these very special men and women who literally risk their lives in a volunteer capacity. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. But, that’s not all. Let’s look at another group of volunteers that make a difference every time they pick up a hammer. That, too, is a literal statement, because we’re referring to those who dedicate themselves to the work of Hanover Habitat for Humanity. We received an email from Habitat noting National Volunteer Week, with the statement: “Volunteers are the backbone of our organization, and we really appreciate that you gave your time, energy, and talents. The need for affordable housing in Hanover County is great. Hanover Habitat for Humanity is able to build affordable, decent homes because special people like you choose to volunteer!.” Last year, according to Habitat, 1,546 people volunteered for a total of 16,760 hours of service. The value of volunteer time was estimated to be $371,066. Wow — and, with these folks too, thank you. It’s easy to say “I’m too busy,” “I don’t have time,” “I’d love to, but . . .” Thankfully, our friends and neighbors take the time because they care. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention the wonderful men and women — most are senior citizens — who volunteer at hospitals around the region. I’m proud to say that my mother is among this group. When she retired from a career in education, she volunteered at my hometown hospital and when she moved here she became a volunteer at Memorial Regional Medical Center. To those of you who volunteer in any capacity, thank you! Melody Kinser

By Roslyn Ryan Contributing Columnist Recently, while attempting to tame some out-of-control bookshelves at my house, I came across a book I hadn’t picked up in years. Titled “Listening is an Act of Love,” the book is a collection of interviews collected and archived through National Public Radio’s Story Corps program. If you’ve never heard of Story Corps, here is the gist: regular folks — we’re not talking about movie stars or high profile athletes here — are interviewed by family members or close friends and the stories they share are then transcribed and archived. Those being interviewed might share a personal memory, an obstacle they overcame, or even just a brief synopsis of their lives to that point. No matter what they say, however, the stories of these so-called “ordinary people” are almost always far more memorable and touching than one might expect.
Some, in fact, are simply remarkable. After coming across the book, as you might imagine, I suddenly found a good excuse to take a short break from my shelf-straightening mission. As you might also imagine, that short break soon stretched into an entire afternoon as I paged through interview after interview. Like many people, I have always enjoyed listening to other people’s stories. And with that comes a gnawing fear that those stories will be lost forever once the storyteller is gone. Stashed away in a box in my closet, I have a small stack of cassette tapes bound with a fat rubber band. Carefully written on each jacket is one word: “Nanny.” On each tape is a part of a long, winding conversation I had with my grandmother before she died, conversations in which she talked about her children, her own parents, and her memories of growing up in New York City, back when snow days
were announced by tying tin cans to the back of the trolley cars. These tapes are my some of my most treasured possessions —indeed, my only regret is that I ran out of time to make more. These days, as we scurry about our lives, posting status updates and “liking” our friends’ vacation photos, it’s easy to get the feeling that we are, perhaps, more connected to each other than we actually are. Listening, as the book title suggests, is an act of love — but it is also an act that enriches the lives of both the speaker and the listener. As you go about tending to everything on your to-do list this spring, I hope you also get a chance to sit down, take a listen, and actually get to know someone you already thought you knew. Who knows: It might be the best gift either of you get this year. Roslyn Ryan is editor of The Goochland Gazette.

Father of gay child: thanks to those who spoke out on letter Thank you, thank you to The Mechanicsville Local for restoring my faith, and, more specifically, to the several Mechanicsville-area letter-writers who responded to a recent anti-homosexuality letter. I had been greatly saddened by the closed-mindedness of so many of your letter-writers regarding gay/lesbian issues. My own faith, Unitarianism, is welcoming to all sexual orientations, and so I was gratified to see other readers of your paper taking the time and making the commitment to respond to anti-GLBT rhetoric, and to your paper for publishing their letters. Personally, I am a married, straight parent. Between us, my wife and I have three straight children and one who is gay. Some years ago, I composed a song, which has received some Internet play, which expresses my feelings toward homophobia. Perhaps your readers will do me the courtesy of reading the lyrics of that song:
So you think a woman shouldn’t love another woman? So you think a man shouldn’t love another man? But who appointed you the judge? Why don’t we let God be the judge? see LETTERS, pg. 8

Supervisors seek input on polling site changes By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Registrar Teresa Smithson presented the Hanover County Board of Supervisors with a list of possible precinct sites that could require a move in the coming years. “Each year I go through and inspect every one of our 37 polling places in the county. There are a couple of our precincts that are going to show dramatic growth over the next few years. We can’t wait for the next redistricting in 2021 to address these
Jim Ridolphi for The Local
Registrar Teresa Smithson told the Hanover County Board of Supervisors that many precincts will need adjustment in coming years to avoid overcrowding and other problems.
things,” Smithson said. Black Creek, Cold Harbor and Shady Grove are expecting substantial increases, according to the registrar, who is appointed by the local Electoral Board. “We currently have 36 polling places and a central absentee center,” she said. Eighteen of those locations are in school campuses. Smithson noted sites in the districts of Ashland, Beaverdam, Chickahominy, Cold Harbor, Henry, Mechanicsville and South Anna, and prepared a list of possible precincts that could be moved to alternative locations. She provided suggested sites that could be used in place of
polling sites that have outgrown their precincts or are experiencing other problems like limited parking or access difficulties. Smithson suggested moving the Ashland polling place at 103 Sliding Hill Road to the clubhouse at King’s Charter, but Ashland representative Ed Via did not concur. “I’ve worked that precinct and never witnessed any problems with citizens getting in and out of there. I’m not in favor of moving it at this time,” Via said. Many of the supervisors who had sites on the “hit list” said they would need input from their constituents before forming an opinion on the proposed moves. Supervisors will gather that data in the coming weeks and return next month with a formalized list of sites that need consideration either due to parking shortages, ingress and egress issues or safety concerns. The public will have the opportunity to speak on the proposed changes at a public hearing in June. Peterson said he was surprised there were concerns raised about the polling place at Mechanicsville Elementary School, and said he had not encountered any problems in his decades of voting at the site. He warned against moving from public buildings to private sites, mostly churches, or seeking “change just for the sake of change.” Smithson said there are guidelines governing when a precinct should be relocated, mainly based on how many people voted in recent elections. Presidential elections attract the most voters in Hanover, a county that boasts a high rate of

You say you think it’s a sin and you think it’s a choice, just a decision they make. You say it’s the sin and not the sinner you hate. Well let me ask you something. Look back on your life and tell me this: When did you decide you were straight? Do you even know what it is you’re afraid of? Tell me why you want to try and put limits on love. Why should it matter to you what others may do in their own private lives? I know this intolerance we can rise above. Ain’t this world bad enough and sad enough for the lack of love? Why don’t we just love and let love? John Long Mechanicsville
Issues that need attention As a nation, we are now more than $17 trillion in debt. This year’s deficit is already
$600 billion, and it’s the lowest one in years. If something can’t go on forever, it won’t. Our country cannot go on spending like there’s no tomorrow. Democrats in Richmond are holding the state budget hostage, hoping to force Republicans to accept the expansion of ObamaCare, one of the most expensive programs in our nation’s history. President Obama promises us time and time again that Washington will pay for it. But what happens when Washington runs out of money? The bill will undoubtedly come back to us, the taxpayers of Virginia. In the long term, expanding Medicaid will be a fiscal disaster. In the short term, withholding our teachers, police and firefighters paychecks to make a political point will be a disaster as well, which is what will happen if the budget continues to be held hostage. Gov. Terry McAuliffe should make the Democrats in the General Assembly stay on the job until they pass a budget. Leaving town before this problem has been resolves is just unacceptable. We elected these people to pass a responsible budget, not to force ObamaCare at the last minute. We need a budget, then

a special session to deal with Medicaid expansion. These two issues must be dealt with separately. Anything else is a waste, and will end in financial tragedy. Trey Woody Mechanicsville
Petition sent to Del. Fowler A petition has been sent to Del. Buddy Fowler, R-55, signed by 129 citizens that states: “Expand Medicaid for 191,000 poor and disabled Virginians. Expanding Medicaid will help create 30,000 new jobs and save Virginia taxpayers billions of dollars per year.� Three thousand four hundred (3,400) uninsured citizens in the counties of Hanover and Caroline would immediately be eligible for coverage. These people are also Del. Fowler’s constituents. We, the undersigned, believe that Medicaid Expansion can be accomplished, either by initiating the State Senate-approved bipartisan Marketplace Virginia, or by incorporating the twoyear pilot program approved by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Legislators would be allowed to discontinue this plan if for some reason they do not endorse Medicaid Expansion in the future.

Need for senior citizen van How do I find out how to get a senior citizen van started for seniors and handicapped persons? It is ridiculous that Mechanicsville or Hanover does not have these services. I am sure I am not the only person that needs to go to the hospital for tests or appointments. It seems to me that people in my condition are being treated unfairly. It is a way for people to retain their dignity. We cannot always rely on friends or relatives therefore we need a van to take us to various places. Support your seniors because we all need help one at any given moment in our lives.

We heard from a veteran who is going blind, a fast food worker who cannot afford to have medical coverage for her children, and a home health care worker who cannot afford insurance for herself. Many of us are watching to see if Del. Buddy Fowler chooses to be a compassionate, caring public servant, or if he will continue his current obstructionist course of action. Lyn Hodnett Ashland

beloved daughters, Stephanie and Dianne; favorite nephews, Jason, Tony, J.R. and Tom; niece, Linda; and the littlest loves of his life, grandchildren, Phoebe, A.J. and Christopher; plus a whole host of grandnieces, grandnephews and in-laws. Roy graduated Hermitage High School in 1966, served as a Merchant Marine in Vietnam in the late 60s, studied HVAC systems in the early 70s, then settled down into a mostly quiet life of advocacy and devotion to his favorite cause, listening to great music, and entertaining his companions and guests with stories of intrigue, conspiracy, and social revolution. Despite the tragic circumstances surrounding his death, there is some comfort in knowing that Roy died doing exactly what he most loved.

Misty Blue, animal identification 355655, is a 3-year-old female boxer/bulldog mix. She has had her first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. She has been spayed. Misty Blue is a very friendly and active dog. She loves to run around the play yard and play with toys. She also likes to snuggle in your arms. She enjoys being petted and scratched. Misty Blue will probably do better being in an only dog household. Jessie, animal ID 355106, is a 1-year-old female domestic short-haired cat. She has had her first set of vaccines and is FELV/FIV negative. Jessie is a cat that came to the pound “in rough shape.” She had skin problems, but, with a little treatment and TLC (tender loving care), she has recovered just fine. Jessie loves to talk to you when you enter the room. She is very sweet and cuddly. She would make a great cat for any household. For more information on these two great pets, as well as the many more still in need of homes at the Hanover County Pound Facility, call 804-365-6485 during the day. The hours are 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday; 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Wednesday; and 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday.

expressed a reluctance to change boundary lines at this time, some did seem agreeable to the formation of a study group. “I can’t support the motion. I think we are getting the cart before the horse. We are going in with a preconceived notion or a foregone conclusion to move people. If there’s data to support such a move, then that’s fine,” Mechanicsville representative Glenn Millican said. “I think we need to address this issue and move ahead,” John Axselle, Beaverdam District, said. “This is just another way of rearranging attendance zones, and I can’t support this motion.” “In my opinion, we have bigger and better things to move ahead on,” Axselle said. “We’re changing the words around but it’s the same issue.” Sulser said he envisioned a study group that would include parents, educators and professionals. “I don’t think the data is there. I haven’t seen evidence that supports it right now,” Millican said. Millican said he could support the study if the names of any specific school were removed from the language. “If we are going to look at it, we need to look at it all,” he said. Ashland representative Hank Lowry said he could support the adjustments and seconded a motion to exclude the names. Millican said including a STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathemat-
In addition, the church presented Marriner with a framed music sheet of a song commissioned especially for her by Pepper Choplin, a popular church music composer. The adult choir performed “Forever God’s Love Endures,” accompanied by Sheri Castle, the church’s worship leader.
The song is based on Psalm 118, a favorite Bible passage of Marriner. The adult choir had secret rehearsals in order to surprise Marriner. Marriner began playing piano at the age of 6, and her grandfather encouraged her to play hymns for his Bible study
class when she was 10. In addition to serving as accompanist, she worked at the Virginia Baptist Mission Board and later for the Richmond Public School System. “I’ve been doing what I like best. It’s a stress buster,” Marriner said during the service. She has no plans to retire from this position.
ics) program in the discussion could change his opinion on the motion. “If we want to look at STEM programs, then let’s do that. Why are we dancing around this attendance boundary issue? We don’t have a boundary issue. If we want to introduce programs that will change capacities, we can address those,” Axselle said. “We don’t know to go any further on this issue. There’s
no sense in wasting the time of the staff,” Earl Hunter, Henry District, said. “It seems to be that the data provided indicates we have some space at Oak Knoll and Hanover that is not being utilized,” Sue Dibble, South Anna, said, adding the question of how to address the under-utilization of that space. “I don’t want to get stuck on STEM or just moving people,”
she added. “I’d like to focus on the other items. I don’t believe we have a boundary issue.” Lowry reminded his colleagues that the motion only approves the formation of a study group, and does not institute policy or change current districts. “This is not creating anything but a work study group,” Lowry said. Chairman Bob Hundley, Chickahominy District, joined

Author Katherine Applegate told students at John Gandy Elementary that she has written books not only under her own name, but also under pseudonyms. She went by the name A.R. Plumb, an anagram of “rub a lamp,” for one of several Aladdin books she penned.
Author tells Gandy students about writing and a special ape By Jodi Deal jdeal@mechlocal.com Author Katherine Applegate has written hundreds of children’s and young adults’ books, including the successful Animorphs series, and has won national acclaim, including the prestigious Newberry Medal. Despite her success, Applegate’s visit to John M. Gandy Elementary School on Friday, April 11, was anything but stuffy. Applegate spoke frankly with children about what it’s like to be a writer and what lessons everyone can take from her line of work. “You’re paid to be a liar and a slob,” Applegate joked while showing a photo of herself sitting on a bed in pajamas and surrounded by crumpled-up papers. The photo drew giggles from a group of fifth grade students sitting in front of her on their library floor. In all seriousness, Applegate told the students that writers make a lot of mistakes when

trying to find the right words to tell an important story. That’s okay, she said, and it’s okay for students to make mistakes as they learn or try new things, too. Applegate also told the students that writing about a topic creates a unique opportunity to truly learn about it. Such was

the case with the book that won her the Newberry Medal — The One and Only Ivan. Based on a true story, the book tells the tale of a silverback gorilla forced to live in captivity inside a shopping mall. Along the way, Ivan makes friends with elephants
and a dog, eventually using finger paints to tell the sad tale of his inhumane captivity. Gandy Elementary students have been reading The One and Only Ivan, along with other titles from Applegate’s catalog, for the past month. To create the fictitious Ivan, Applegate said she learned all she could about the real-life Ivan and his species, from their modes of communication and preferred foods to the way they interact with one another. She did the same for elephants, who she learned thrive on interaction and have a very difficult time without other elephants to bond. “I didn’t realize that until I did my research,” Applegate said. “It can really change the way you look at the world.” Applegate also pointed out to students that, in real life, Ivan the gorilla was eventually moved from his tiny concrete shopping mall cell to a more harmonious environment at the see AUTHOR, pg. 17

Zoo of Atlanta after children complained about his inhumane treatment. “The kids got involved,” Applegate said, noting that children can make a difference. Ivan’s life improved because local children began boycotting the mall where he lived and wrote letters to the editor in local newspapers, eventually forcing the mall into bankruptcy, she said. When one student asked what her favorite book is out the hundreds she’s written, Applegate, after a moment of reflection, said she’s probably the fondest of The One and Only Ivan. “It felt good to help his story reach a wider audience,” Applegate said. She later noted that she had the privilege of attending the real Ivan’s funeral in 2012 and was able to get a copy of her book autographed with his fingerprint before he passed away. When a student asked what inspired her to become a writer, Applegate was quick with another joke. “I needed to pay the rent,” she said, getting as many laughs from the adults in the room as the students. “No, I just love
piecing words together and putting them on the page. As a writer, you get paid to make things up!” Fifth grader Paul Datovech said after the presentation that he had read The One and Only Ivan before his school embarked on their study of Applegate’s career. His aunt bought it for him for Christmas last year, he said. “I fell in love with it immediately,” Datovech said. “It just inspires me. There’s a feeling of hope inside that book. It’s so emotional.” He added that he liked learning more about gorillas from Applegate’s talk, including a true story she told about a huge silverback gorilla protecting and comforting a 5year-old child that fell into its enclosure. When the child fell, Datovech added, everyone at the zoo assumed the worst of the gorilla. The gentle giant’s actions proved it had unexpected compassion. Gandy Elementary librarian Lauren Churchill, who gets so emotional when she talks about parts of The One and Only Ivan that she came to the presentation armed with tissues, called Applegate “our hero with a pen.” “You have truly been an inspiration for all of us — thank
you for coming all the way from California,” Churchill said. Gandy Elementary gave Applegate a little something special to remember them by: a pillow emblazoned with the phrase, “You, my friend, have potential.” After clapping her hand to her mouth in surprise, Applegate, with a grin, explained to the students that the phrase comes from a letter she received from a young fan. While children need to be reminded of their potential, she said, they’re not the only ones. “I thought that was just the coolest thing for a kid to say to an adult,” Applegate said. “This is just the most amazing and best present ever.” “We just hope that when you see that, you will remember us,” Churchill said, giving Applegate a hug. Churchill noted that the school heard about the special phrase from “a little bird.” It was that same little bird who helped connect Applegate with the Ashland students. Paul Lambert, who volunteers heavily with the school and runs the county’s 4-H Maker program, is Applegate’s brotherin-law. He was on hand during her visit, and stood alongside her to give students high-fives, handshakes and fist-bumps as they exited the library.

voter registration. “This is a vitally important issue for the voters and the citizens of Hanover,” county attorney Sterling Rives said. “We want to make sure there is appropriate public input.” He suggested the board schedule a workshop session for May to finalize a list so members of the public could voice their thoughts at a hearing in June. Smithson pointed to the large number of poll workers at the Mechanicsville Elementary site. Some of the sites mentioned on the list did, however, meet the criteria by any
one’s estimation. South Anna District supervisor and vice chair Wayne Hazzard said the Route 33 Farrington polling place in the district is hazardous and agreed with Smithson’s recommendation to move it back to the old school. He was not as enthusiastic about a suggestion to move the Rockville polling site, and said he would need more input from his constituents before endorsing a move. Supervisors will study the suggested list provided by Smithson, refine and define the list at a May workshop and hold a public hearing in June in order to allow any changes to take place well in advance of the November election.

good news [is] the number of rabid animals has been steadily going down,” Taylor said. He attributes the decreases to excellent leadership in the department and good community education. “There are a lot of good things coming out of Animal Control. We’ve gone five years without euthanizing one healthy animal,” Taylor said. Pre-trial services also increased in 2013, serving 549 defendants. Crime rates showed a slight increase in 2013, and the clearance rate also noted a minimal decline. In other matters, Mechanicsville District representative Canova Peterson reminded citizens that the Mechanicsville District seat on the Hanover County School Board seat is up for nomination at the May 14 supervisors’ meeting. “That appointment has to be made from those who are brought forth at that public hearing,” Peterson said. Citizens will nominate candidates for the position currently held by Glenn Millican, and Peterson and his colleagues will make the final selection from the list of nominees put forth by the public.

Hawks ace Casey fares best in pitchers’ duel By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Hanover starting pitcher Derek Casey was slated to pitch Wednesday night, but could not. He had missed school that day – the second of two – because of a wicked stomach bug. Casey made it to school Thursday, and took the mound against visiting Lee-Davis. This time, his pitching was wicked. Casey gave up only three hits, striking out 13 and holding the Confederates scoreless in leading Hanover to a 2-0 victory. “I lost a couple of pounds,” Casey said of his two days of illness. “I was a little nervous. I didn’t know how I was going to feel [tonight], but I woke up, got some food in me, and came out here and just battled.” Casey wasn’t the only one battling. His Lee-Davis counterpart, Joey Pride, gave up two runs at the start of the game, but the rest of the way pitched his way out of jams in in three innings in which the Hawks had runners in scoring position. Each of those three times – in the second, third and sixth innings – Pride found a way to keep the Confederates from scoring. “Joey Pride pitched a beautiful baseball game,” said LeeDavis head coach Kenny Lewis. “Everything you could have

asked of the kid, he gave. He gave us a chance to win.” Hanover got all the runs it needed in the first inning. The Hawks opened the bottom of the first with a leadoff walk to Josh Shepherd. Cayman Richard singled, and Troy Szalay advanced both with a sacrifice bunt. One out later, Trevor Denton drove

both home with a double. Hanover’s first opportunity to extend its lead in the bottom of the second inning. Elliott Sledd opened with a single and a stolen base. His next destination was the dugout, however, as Pride got two strikeouts and a groundout to end the inning. The Hawks threatened again
in the third. Shepherd reached on an error and advanced to second on a single by Richardson. Shepherd advanced to third and Richardson to second on stolen bases. But, as in the second inning, Pride got the next two batters to strike out and ended the inning with a fly ball. Hanover’s final scor-
ing threat came in the sixth. Szalay reached on an error and advanced to third on another error. But Pride got a fly ball, groundout and strikeout to strand Szalay. “Several times [Hanover] had guys in scoring position and none or one out,” Lewis said. “It was clearly an opportu-
nity for them to score, and Joey comes up with a big strikeout or a ground ball or a fly ball or something. … He got into some jams. That happens. He got out of them.” Hanover head coach Charlie Dragum was disappointed at the number of runners stranded, however. “That was what was most disappointing about tonight,” Dragum said. “We call that situational hitting – team atbats. They were just not there tonight. We did not do a good job. For us to win … we have to pick those guys up with less than two outs. We have to be able to knock them in.” Lewis said the Confederates’ shared Hanover’s problems in the batter’s box. We just didn’t generate enough offense against [Hanover],” Lewis said. “You know, the guy on the mound has a lot to do with that.” Twice the Confederates had runners in scoring position: in the first inning with Haiden Lamb, who singled and stole second; and again in the fifth with Cody Powers, who singled and advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Adam Boyle. But both times, Casey smothered the Lee-Davis attempts at a rally. “That pitcher makes it really tough to string hits together,” see ACE, pg. 36
Mitchum Ks 13 as Hanover beats Lee-Davis By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Coming away empty in a bases-loaded situation would discourage a lot of softball teams. Hanover just made sure it got a shot at redemption. The unbeaten Hawks touched Lee-Davis pitcher Lauren McIntyre for three fifthinning runs that stood as the only offense in the game, and Hanover ace Kiandra Mitchum had 13 strikeouts in a 3-0 victory Thursday night. “She stayed on top of the count. She worked ahead in the count on a lot of batters,” Hanover coach Stephanie Acors said. “I can’t say enough about her performance. She was outstanding tonight.” The big inning started with a contribution from an unlikely source. Second baseman Eryn King, batting out of the ninth spot in the lineup, yanked a grounder into the hole and beat the throw from Confederates shortstop Kylie Stonebreaker. Mitchum followed with another infield single against a drawn-in infield, and Maura Long loaded the bases by beating out a perfect sacrifice bunt. Haley Gilbert broke the scoreless tie with a bloop single to left field that brought King home and kept the bases loaded. Courtesy runner Erin Watkins scored an insurance run on catcher interference and Long came home on a Lacey Sullivan sacrifice fly. “The sad thing is they didn’t get a hit out of the infield until they scored,” Lee-Davis coach Jackie Davis said. “They got that dink when they already had runners on. “They did a good job of putting the ball in play and making something happen.” While Mitchum played a role in the big inning, her main contribution came in ensur-

ing those three runs would be enough for the Hawks (5-0). Two weeks after tossing a nohitter against Monacan, she was overpowering early on, striking out six batters in a row in one stretch and fanning three in a row in the fourth inning after a leadoff double from McIntyre. “My mindset is just, ‘Don’t let them score,’” Mitchum said. “It was a good hit, but I just bore down.” McIntyre, a junior, was nearly as sharp, but couldn’t match Mitchum in strikeouts and ran into trouble early on. Hanover’s Kaylyn Shepherd led off the second inning with the first of three singles, but two well-timed fielder’s choices allowed the McIntyre and the Confederates (6-2) to wiggle out of trouble. King ended the threat by lining out to second baseman Kinsee Stonebreaker. Mitchum scattered four
hits from Lee-Davis, which advanced all four of those runners into scoring position but couldn’t put two hits together in the same frame. Victoria Houff, Brooke Martin and Jordan Trimiew all singled before being stranded at second. “It might have gotten us in the end, but it didn’t,” Acors said. After allowing those runners into scoring position in the third through sixth innings, Mitchum slammed the door in the seventh. She got Martin and Houff to ground out before inducing a weak popup from Becca Fields to end the game. “We did not perform well at the plate tonight,” Davis said. “We didn’t do what we needed to do to put pressure on them.” Davis’ Hanover counterpart echoed that sentiment. “Our whole theme for this game was pressure,” Acors said.
“Put the pressure on them and make them make plays and good things will happen.” The Hawks return to action after spring break April 22 at Glen Allen. Lee-Davis visits Douglas Freeman on April 23. Lee-Davis 000 000 0 – 0 4 0 Hanover 000 030 x – 3 8 0 McIntyre and Martin; Mitchum and Long. W – Mitchum. L – McIntyre. Records: Lee-Davis 6-2, Hanover 5-0.

Atlee dominates young Lee-Davis lacrosse squad By Josiah Turner For The Mechanicsville Local The Atlee High School girls’ lacrosse team demonstrated Thursday night that the best defense is a good offense. The Raiders started the game strong and finished it the same way, as they went on the road to roll over Lee-Davis 19-1. It was a complete team effort, as the Raiders had six players who scored a pair of goals. They dominated the time of possession throughout the night, as Lee-Davis’ offense was only able to cross mid-field three times in the first half. Even in games where his team has a comfortable lead, Atlee head coach Thomas Mackay still wants his girls to continue to find ways to get
better. “We’ve just got to keep improving, because the good teams keep getting better,” said Mackay. “Everything is going to matter at the end of the season, and if we don’t keep getting better than we won’t be there at the end of the season.” Atlee’s program has been around for a few years now, and even though they only have five seniors on the roster they are definitely considered an experienced team. “We’ve been around for four years,” Mackay said. “Our players have been playing longer, so that experience helps a lot.” Confederates’ head coach Pam Hill knows her team lacks some of that much-needed experience, but she is happy with the way her team fights.
“We’re a very new team, but we played well (and) we hung well with them,” said Hill. “Our defense was phenomenal, made them pass, didn’t let them do any fast breaks. … Our defense was really on top of it, and made them work to get their goals.” Confederates goalie Kayla Flippo had eight saves on the night. However, Atlee’s defense was likewise impressive, allowing only one goal and limiting Lee-Davis’ (1-3) chances of scoring by winning the majority of the face-offs all night. Atlee (3-0), who is second in the LaxPower Class 1A-5A rankings, will enjoy spring break and get back on the field to face Hanover county rival Patrick Henry on Monday, Apr. 21. Lee-Davis next visits Atlee on Wednesday, Apr. 23.

Lee-Davis outfielder Cody Powers launches a line drive to center field in the fifth inning of Hanover’s 2-0 victory Thursday.
Lewis said. “We squared a few balls up, but we didn’t do it consistently” Casey said he had been tweaking his pitching since a less-than-stellar, but no less victorious, appearance against Atlee last week. “The last Atlee game, I had a little mechanical error that we fixed,” Casey said. “I wasn’t moving out as much with my hips. I was kind of counter-rotating over the rubber, and wasn’t getting that much momentum.” But Thursday night, that wasn’t a problem. “I felt like I was throwing pretty well tonight,” Casey said. Richardson had two hits for Hanover.

King William High School’s girls’ soccer team hosted Nandua Friday night, and the Cavaliers let their guests leave without so much as a parting gift. Instead, they gave their guests 80 minutes of physical play on the pitch, clutch defense – aided by a couple of bad breaks for the Warriors – and a 2-0 Conference 33 defeat. King William coach Peter Hurley said this is the time to expect hard-hitting games. “It was very physical,” Hurley said. “You find those game this time of year when people are starting to, you know, they want their wins. Everybody wants a win. … It was definitely a slugfest. A lot of knocks, a lot of bumps and bruises, but I’m happy we came away with a 2-0 win.” King William got its first goal about 15 minutes into the game when Sam Zicafoose found Delaney McKinney
open. “Sam Zicafoose … was playing outside-mid, carried the ball forward, put it in the box,” Hurley said. “Delaney McKinney, this is 17th goal of the season – always in the right place at the right time – put it in the back of the net.” The two teams slugged it out without scoring for the rest of the first half and for the first 15 minutes of the second. The Cavaliers aggressively attacked the net, and when a shot bounced away from the Nandua goalkeeper, King William’s Kerstin Downey took the rebound and converted it into a goal. “She can just shoot from anywhere,” Hurley said of Downey. “She can put it away.” But Nandua was far from done. Twice in the final 20 minutes, the Warriors’ Ryan Wright bounced shots off the bar. “That’s soccer,” said Nandua head coach Dana Wright. “Those were good shots. They could have been over by 20 feet. … She did a very great job.”

NASCAR tries new tricks to end attendance slide By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com When NASCAR comes to Richmond International Raceway, Hanover County – and Mechanicsville in particular – feels the economic impact of thousands of fans;, NASCAR personnel, crew and drivers; vendors and media professionals settle in for what most hope will be a long weekend of racing. From 1992 to 2008, race weekend at RIR was a guaranteed sellout. But beginning in September 2008, attendance began a decline that NASCAR and track officials such as RIR President Dennis Bickmeier and community leaders and businesses hope has turned around. They have good reason to hope for better times at the track: A 2008 study found that RIR’s economic impact to the region at $467 million annually. Hints of a turnaround have not stopped creative efforts at marketing the races to regain lapsed fans and recruit new ones. As part of that “out of the box” effort, Bickmeier and other RIR staff met up with driver Matt Kenseth last week in an unusual location – the
Newseum in Washington, D.C. – for an autograph-session on Pennsylvania Avenue and an Q&A session inside the Newseum’s Knight Center. Kenseth said appearances such as that at the Newseum are all of three things: a chore, part of the driver’s job; and something he enjoyed. He said attracting and retaining fans – and getting them in seats at the racetracks – are things everyone involved with NASCAR think about. “It’s something that we all work at as an industry,” Kenseth said. “No matter which side you’re on, you’re kind of all on the same side. Certainly when the economy fell and at the same time there was more media coverage, there was more technology, there was more ways to keep up with the sport. The TV [coverage] has been great. It has been increasing all the time. And you want the live attendance to come back as well.” In many ways, the District of Columbia is a tough sell: a town preoccupied with arguably more important things than auto racing. Men and women in business attire strolled along Pennsylvania Avenue puzzled at the presence of a pace car

on the sidewalk in front of the Newseum. Some stopped to find out more, others kept moving. Of course, there were people that looked dressed for race weekend there, too, eager for Kenseth’s autograph. Inside the Newseum’s Knight Center, Bickmeier led the Q&A session, with some in attendance asking the typical race fan questions, but others, mindful of the location, asked about the role of new media platforms such as Twitter in NASCAR today. What might be the most effective marketing technique was the unplanned: when schoolkids on tour groups – and their parent and teacher – chaperones wanted a picture with a famous racing driver. Kenseth stood among the groups posing around him, smiling and doing his part to be a good representative of the sport. And to the extent he could, Kenseth seemed to be enjoying himself. “It’s fun,” he said.

BRETT Continued from pg. 1
Luther and he tried out in 10th grade and met Kevin through tryouts. Kevin was at my house the weekend before this happened,” Shannon said. As for Byars and Highsmith, she said “The other two boys were Kevin’s friends. Brett didn’t know them.” She described her son as trusting his friends and that’s why he agreed for Drayton to bring his friends to their house. The night before the tragedy, Shannon told her husband and a friend “that I felt something bad was going to happen and they said ‘Don’t say stuff like that.’ ” Brett had gone to a party Friday, Jan. 20, and spent the night at a friend’s house. When he came home around lunchtime on Saturday, Jan. 21, Shannon said he helped his dad install a washing machine. “I felt something was off all day, but I couldn’t pinpoint it.” Despite mixed emotions, she said she felt obligated to join her husband’s family for dinner in the city. Darrell’s brother Randy and his wife Joanna picked them up for dinner and Brett went to the home of a girl he met at school. “While we were at Morton’s [Steakhouse], I felt kind of uneasy and my phone died, which was weird because I always kept my phone charged. So it was like 8 o’clock,” Shannon recalled. After dinner, she said Randy wanted to check out some new businesses in Richmond so they rode around and arrived at Shannon and Darrell’s house around 9:30 p.m. At the intersection of Bell Creek and Pole Green roads, “Cops are flying by to head down my street. I thought it was kind of weird. We got to right around the curve before you get to my house and we saw all these blue flashing lights,”
Shannon said. “We saw so many cop cars in my driveway and the first thing out of Darrell’s mouth was ‘This can’t be good.’ And I grabbed my phone to call Brett — the battery was dead. I grabbed Darrell’s [phone] — it was dead too. Nobody had a charger in the car,” she said. Randy got out of the car and deputies asked him who he was and who owned the house. “Darrell wouldn’t get out of the car,” Shannon said, “so I did.” They were told that there had been an accident at the house. “But he [the deputy] wouldn’t say what and I was like ‘I need to go see my son’ and he was like ‘No, get back in the car.’ And all of a sudden I saw the ambulance come out of the driveway and Aaron [Evans].” Aaron, Brett’s friend, was with him at the house. He was outside when the shooting occurred. When he got inside, he was shot in the hand as he had covered his chest. Despite the bleeding from his wound, he tried to revive Brett. “The next thing I knew the detectives wanted to talk to me and Darrell but Darrell is on the other side of the car throwing up and his mom [Pat Wells] is with him by then. They called her and she came,” Shannon said. “The detective wants to talk to me. They’re asking all kinds of questions about Brett — if Brett was having a party or something going on. I said ‘No, only Aaron [was there]. I kept asking where Brett was and they said they would let me know. They told me to get back in the car but I got out of the car because nobody would tell me anything and I started running down the driveway.” Randy and deputies grabbed her. “It takes four people to hold me down; they wouldn’t let me get out of the driveway.” A detective showed Shannon a photo of Brett that had been on the refrigerator and asked, “Is this your son?” “I said, ‘Yes,’
and they said, ‘As of this time, your son has been shot and passed away.’ ’’ Shannon said they waited an hour to two hours before they learned Brett’s fate. “I fell backwards when they told me Brett was dead. I kind of passed out; I hit my head pretty hard. I freaked out just finding out that Brett was dead — unbelievably tore me apart. How had he gotten shot; I didn’t understand. We live in Mechanicsville nothing like that ever happens.” “I wasn’t allowed to go into the house not until the next day. They were doing an investigation. They said they didn’t know if there was an active shooter in the woods. At that time they didn’t know,” she added. When she learned her son was dead, and she said she calmed down, “I had to go into a detective’s car so he could ask me all these questions about who would shoot Brett, why they would shoot him, who he was hanging around with. I never thought he got shot over marijuana; I thought it was a girl he had gone out with that night.” Shannon and Darrell spent the night of the shooting with his mother. “I couldn’t imagine life without Brett.” She said they “did everything together. I took him places; we went shopping together. We were close.” “When you lose a child, you change — your whole personality, your life changes. Your family changes,” Shannon said. “You lose that sense of having security of waking up every morning and him being there and then your whole life is shattered. He would have been a senior this year. He would have graduated. The hardest part is seeing his friends graduate and him not.” She said her son was popular, so much so that about 900 people attended his funeral. “There was a line — you couldn’t get in. People loved him because he would help everybody. Girls still text me ‘I just want a hug
from Brett’ and he could always help me. He was always there to help somebody. There’s no child that is perfect — but he wasn’t a drug dealer.” She said he “might have sold some pot to a friend” because he had been asked to do it, “but Brett didn’t think about the consequences because he was just helping somebody out.” Shannon said her son didn’t go to parties and was home “every single night.” He had never faced disciplinary action at school. The Wells’ home was a gathering place. “Brett brought his friends to our house. I fixed them dinner; I would make them cookies. Everybody liked coming to my house. We had a pool table, a swimming pool inside, a basketball court outside.” Shannon said she knew her son smoked marijuana but did not know he was selling it. “I tried to instill values. My husband I talked to him about stuff like that.” Brett lost his life over four ounces or marijuana with a street value of $1,300. “A lot of things don’t make sense to me and they probably never will,” Shannon continued. “He wasn’t a drug dealer; he did make a bad decision that night.” As they prepare for another birthday without Brett, Shannon talked about how her family always would have big parties, with cookouts, bounce houses, trampolines and a petting zoo, for him. This year, April 18 is Good Friday and she noted the significance of that religious holiday. “I have a lot of signs that he’s around me,” she said. “I see it, I feel it. I find pennies all the time in the house.” To her, they represent “pennies from heaven.” “I know he’s around me.” All of Brett’s friends are being invited to this year’s party. For the second year, they will be planting a tree at the entrance
to Fern Gulley, a wooded area around their home. “It was a place where the kids escaped to, and they had a hammock, table and chairs. They would play the guitar, have a bonfire.” “Two or three months I was thinking about Brett and I felt tears rolling down my face and I heard this deep voice and I’ll never forget it. I was thinking about why Brett died and I feel God was speaking to me with a deep voice. ‘I saved Brett’s life when he was 10 years old [from a brain tumor], but I couldn’t save him this time.’ I feel like God was talking to me because He knew how sad I was. I feel like I’m better now. I feel like he is with God and I will see him when I die. I know I will.” Shannon said Brett attended church with his grandmother. He also joined her in feeding the homeless. “So it’s not like we weren’t church-going people. He was a good kid. He didn’t deserve to die.” “He got his whole life taken away from him for one stupid mistake that cost him his life.” Shannon praised the efforts of Commonwealth’s Attorney R.E. “Trip” Chalkley III and his staff. “Their office is tremendous. They kept us up to date. They worked for us.” “Brett was not just a number or another kid. Brett was smart. Brett was an awesome friend to have. He knew how much he was loved. He knew that he was like the glue that held all of us together. Now everything has changed. When you lose your child, you lose everything about yourself,” Shannon said. As she attempts to heal, she attends counseling once a week. “Every Wednesday I go to the same counselor, and I say the same thing to her every week: that I miss Brett, his smile, his laughter. I wake up depressed because he’s not here.” “When you lose your child you feel empty and sad, and there’s not a day that goes by
that I don’t think about him. I think about him when I get up in the morning. I have to walk past his bedroom in the morning to go through the house.” “I don’t know what happened that night. I don’t know the whole story. I don’t believe what they (Drayton, Byars and Hightower) said,” Shannon said. During the trial, Shannon said she realized “that no matter how many years it gave them I can never get Brett back. They took something from me that I will never ever see again until I die. I’m not going to get Brett back — nothing can bring Brett back.” She said she has “even asked God to take my life and bring Brett back.” Three years after her son’s death, she said she is contacted by “people I’ve never even met before telling me that they miss him and talk about him all the time. Brett always had a way of making people feel good about themselves.” Looking toward his 19th birthday, Shannon said she will continue the birthday tradition “because he’s still my son; he’ll always be my son.” “You feel like your heart has been ripped out of your chest. He brought out the best in me. I think I miss all the times that we went on vacation together. I think I’m just lonely because all my friends have young kids and it’s just me and my husband now and all my friends’ kids are going to college now [getting accepted].” Son Mike’s four children — Shannon’s grandchildren — are “what keeps me going,” she said. “Basically, you can’t just stop living because your child dies. You have to keep on going,” she said. “There is light at the end of the tunnel, I hear. You never get over it and stop grieving over your child’s death but you have to keep on going.” “He left a mark on all of us that we’ll never forget.”
