Supervisors approve priority list

County administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. outlined a list of initiatives for the Hanover County Board of Supervisors to consider in the upcoming year. They included the completion of a new citizens’ survey and the ongoing construction project of a new courthouse building.

The board approved Harris’s list of 2015 initiatives by a unanimous vote.

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local It’s not bragging if you can back it up.

County administrator Rhu Harris outlined a long list or recent achievements enjoyed by the Hanover County during the last year and laid out a prioritized

plan for the upcoming 12 months during a recent meeting of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors.

Harris makes the presentation annually, but this year’s outlook is noticeably more upbeat than recent forecasts and projections.

For the first time in years, the county

appears to be emerging from a stubborn economic downturn that affected almost all areas of the local economy, and Harris said many of the county’s stated annual initiatives were accomplished in 2013.

Mechanicsville man charged in fatal hit and run Staff Report news@mechlocal.com Dwayne Gray Miller Jr., 31, of Mechanicsville faces multiple charges following a fatal hit and run crash on Interstate 295 in Hanover County.

He is being held at the Pamunkey Regional Jail on charges of DUI, refusal to submit to a breath/blood sample, involuntary manslaughter,

felony hit and run and obstruction of justice Miller is accused in the death of Jason E. Bailey, 22, of Henrico, a tow truck driver who was at the scene of an accident on Interstate 295 just north of Exit 37. Bailey had been called to assist a family whose vehicle had broken down and stopped on the right shoulder of I-295.

According to the Virginia State

Police, Senior Trooper D.T. Davenport was called to the scene of the crash alongside the southbound lanes of I-295 at 8:25 p.m. Thursday. The passenger vehicle was on the rollback, the family had just left the scene, and Bailey was standing on the traffic side of the wrecker near its exterior control panel when a southbound 2012 Ford Explorer ran off the right side of the interstate. The Ford Explorer

struck the wrecker and then Bailey.

The Explorer spun around, overturned and crashed into a ditch about 50 feet in front of the wrecker. The driver of the Explorer then fled the scene on foot into the woods towards a nearby subdivision. Troopers M.L. Robertson and M.L. Tudor headed for the subdivision to search for the driver. Residents of the subdivision provided a description of a man seen

running through the neighborhood.

Based on the witness statements, the two troopers located the subject and took him into custody without incident. The incident remains under investigation.

The Virginia State Police Richmond Crash Reconstruction Team is assisting with the investigation. The wrecker did have its amber lights activated at the time of the crash.

OPINION | The Local Views

You’re considered very Southern if . . .

From the editor

Spring beckons: Go outside and have fun

A column written by news editor Jodi Deal for another one of our publications was inspiring in that she talked about the good ol’ days of actually playing outside. Yes, there was a time when the streets and alleys were filled with the sounds of children — and sometimes “the big kid” adults — enjoying the sunshine and all that “being outside” meant.

Through the years, technology has changed the way kids determine the pursuit of fun. And, for the record, yours truly is a strong supporter of the convenience of immediate access through hand-held devices (remember, I’m an acknowledged iPhone addict).

But, there’s nothing like playing whiffle ball or tin can alley or hide and go seek with the neighborhood kids. Ah, those were good times.

During summer vacation, you headed outside right after breakfast, returned home at lunchtime, and went back out until dinner. Thanks to Daylight Saving Time, the childhood games continued until dark.

While the multitude of recreational sports were not available “back in my day,” it’s refreshing to hear co-workers talk about the many activities in which their children participate.

I was an OK softball pitcher when I was younger, but I can’t envision me ever making a mark on a soccer field. All that would have created would have been entertainment for the audience.

Fond memories stir when the giggles and laughs of families enjoying the playground in a neighboring subdivision waft across the street. There’s nothing like the sight of a child delightfully swinging or coming down the slide. Yes, spring is here and it’s time to get outside. Experience Mother Nature in all her glory.

If you’re a true nature lover (this writer’s idea of camping out is a hotel), then take advantage of the fishing, hiking, biking and rafting opportunities, among others, in our great state. Or you can always head to my home state, West Virginia, for whitewater rafting. Not on my bucket list and won’t be.

You’re never too old to enjoy being outside, whether it’s leisurely “watching the world go by” in a porch swing or strolling through the neighborhood. And, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention grilling. Yum! Melody Kinser

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist I’m a sucker for good fried chicken, and I’ve searched high and low for that perfect piece of fried bird, cinched with that perfect burn.

And there are plenty of good places around here to get real Southern fried chicken, but you have to look. Some local grocery stores make chicken that’s as good as restaurant cooked I’ve had.

And there are tried and true versions throughout the city and its surroundings, and, of course, those hid-

den gems that only the most local of locals know about.

Sadly, I’ve come to the conclusion that the fried chicken heyday has ended, and healthy and less burdensome editions have replaced the once king of fast food.

When we first arrived in Richmond, the choices were limited, and my father often piled us into a 1952 Chevy and drove down Broad Street to a place called Wakefield Grill.

Their chicken was a thing of beauty, perfectly browned and crisp, but still moist and tasty on the inside. It came in a box with scrumptious French fries

and a homemade roll.

Once Wakefield closed, a place called Lendy’s served a new fangled invention called Kentucky Fried Chicken.

Like a lot of things in my life, the KFC back then tasted better than the current version, but it’s still good.

But, that Lendy’s chicken was something special, and we made the trip down almost to the Boulevard often to get the crispy delights.

I’ve worshipped at the all the altars — Golden Skillet, KFC, Lee’s, Church’s, see SOUTHERN, pg. 17

When I read letters from Gwen Townsend and Raymond Germeroth, I am truly amazed.

With all the letters I see from the latter it seems his only job in life is to point out other people’s sins. You said how shocked you are at others “cherry-picking” Old Testament verses, yet you do the same thing and defend Gwen Townsend whose letter is filled with the same.

Spelling champ honored

by Hanover School Board Jenny Droujinsky, an eighth grade student at Oak Knoll Middle School, was declared the 2013-2014 division spelling champion for Hanover County Public Schools.

After 13 challenging rounds, the winning word was “lucrative.”

Droujinsky was the runnerup last year after 12 competitive rounds. She also placed as the runner-up in 2010-2011 after 22 rounds during the championship.

She is the daughter of Peter and Cassandra Droujinsky of Mechanicsville. Her awards include a Webster’s Dictionary that was presented on behalf of the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

A division plaque with her name inscribed as spelling champion will be displayed at Oak Knoll Middle School after residing at Chickahominy Middle School for the past three years.

A division champion certificate also was presented to Droujinsky during a recent Hanover County School Board meeting.

The Hanover County Public Schools Division Spelling Bee is held annually at the School Board Office in Ashland.

Sponsored by Richmond Times-Dispatch, this event is the second of four levels as part of the National Spelling Bee competition.

A few weeks ago, Gwen Townsend was compelled to write what she wrote, just as others were when they commented on her letter, just as I am writing now. And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose (Romans 8:28).

God always has His way of doing things.

I just pray I will continue to be at His service.

It’s certainly no shock that Christians and the church are under attack these days. Jesus even explained this to us and why.

“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.

If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember the words I spoke to you: ‘No servant is greater than his mas-

God and deny Him by our way of living, we are detestable to Him, unfit for doing anything good.

I did not see anything detestable in Gwen’s letter, reason being she has chosen out of the world.

I also would like to express more of God’s great work and how He always uses whom He needs for His purpose.

Remember those earlier days after you had received the light, when you stood your ground in a great contest in the face of suffering. Sometimes you were publicly exposed to insult and persecution; at other times you stood side by side with those who were so treated. (Hebrews 10:32-33) Could it have gotten more public than this? It’s possible.

Were you exposed to insult and persecution? By all means, yes!

I also would like to applaud The Mechanicsville Local for being Biblically involved.

Had they not printed any of these letters, God would not be using them for His purpose.

If scripture wasn’t true, God wouldn’t have put it there.

One might ask where I stand in this. The truth! I will strive to be side by side with those who were so treated.

I would ask the same from all of God’s children.

If God is for us, who can be against us?

Now, in some cases, we

should get our facts straight before we go persecuting others.

As in all congregations of the saints, women should remain silent in the churches.

They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is detestable for a woman to speak in church.

(1 Corinthians 14:33-35) So the key word here is church.

I don’t recall The Local ever claiming to be a church.

Therefore, Gwen had every right to speak here.

And since speaking in church is the case, I challenge men in every congregation to join their church choir.

I’m certain at least 90 percent of all church choirs are women members, and singing requires the use of one’s voice.

Are you going to tell our women members they can’t sing either?

In the words of Casting Crowns, “Where are you, men of courage?”

So, in Gwen’s defense, she didn’t write out of hate.

God tells us to hate what is evil. That being evil that tries to consume each of us daily.

We do this out of love because, like God, we’re not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.

ter.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey yours also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me. If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates me hates my Father as well. If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father. But this is to fulfill what is written in their Law: ‘They hated me without reason.’

(John 15:18-25) Now I’m sure the whole world doesn’t hate you, Gwen. I don’t. They just hate the truth.

Certainly we have no excuse for our sin. After all, we’re all sinners and have sinned in our lifetime. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Romans 3:23) It’s just a matter of taking responsibility for our actions.

To the pure, all things are pure, but to those who are corrupted and do not believe, nothing is pure. In fact, both their minds and consciences are corrupted. They claim to know God, but by their actions they deny him. They are detestable, disobedient and unfit for doing anything good. (Titus 1:15-16) That may seem pretty harsh, but when we claim to know

So while some are busy persecuting Gwen, forgive them, Father, for they know not what they do.

Gwen, well done, good and faithful servant.

As I end this letter, I think of what life lesson can be learned from this experience.

Picture yourself driving down the interstate.

You approach an exit ramp that someone is racing to get off while you’re just passing it by.

They don’t yield, causing you to hit the brakes or possibly speed up all the while frustrated asking yourself: “What in the world? Why can’t this person follow the law?” only to realize that God is looking down on each and every one of us asking the same thing.

Pets of the Week Photos submitted by Andrew Q. Hodnett

21430-01

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has two wonderful pets available to a good home. Delilah, 357652, is a 3-year-old female pit bull. She has had her first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Delilah is a sweet little pit bull who acts more like a lap dog.

She loves to cuddle up with anyone sitting in a chair.

She has a very playful personality. She would be best in a household with no cats. Penny, 357668, is a 5-year-old female domestic long-haired cat.

She has had her first second of vaccines and is FELV/FIV negative. Penny is a kitty who came to the pound in rough shape. She had a very matted coat. After a great grooming job from the staff, she is as good as new. Penny is a very sweet and calm cat. She would be a wonderful lap kitty. 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 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The facility is closed on Sunday and county holidays.

Dr. Joseph Elrod, Jr. and Dr. Bryson Dunham are excited to provide their patients with “gentle dental care” in a comfortable and relaxed environment. As they stay focused on the most current trends and technologies, they are proud to offer: • Invisalign orthodontics • Sedation dentistry • Implant restoration • Cosmetic dentistry • Surgical extractions • Restoration & Preventative dentistry • Full mouth reconstruction • Root canal treatment

The TV camera, lights and microphones were put in front of the theatrical students and they talked about the love and support their teacher and director, Rebekah D’Ascoli, has showered upon them.

After breakfast and milling around, the students were ushered downstairs to the Virginia Repertory Theater where they were asked to sing songs from their show for background shots. They were completely unaware that some of the cameras filming belonged to ABC’s “Good Morning America.”

Satellite trucks and electrical cords ran from the Hanover

Tavern out to the white vans parked out front.

Rachel Smith, a national reporter and former Miss America and Miss Universe, came out and introduced herself.

Moments later, on the air live, she announced to the drama students that they were not on WRIC, but on national TV live.

With that announcement, Smith asked where Sami Davis was and that she had a surprise for Sami from her boyfriend Josh.

Bewildered, Sami stared into the TV monitor while cameras taped her reaction.

Confusion led to surprise and delight as Josh starred in a

vignette piece about how much he wished for her “Promposal” to be the best moment of her life so far.

Backstage off to the side and hidden was Josh, a junior at Lee-Davis, who earlier that week had recorded a music video showcasing the song “Best Day of My Life” by American Authors.

The singer for the group even had a cameo in the video begging Sami to say yes to Josh and that “Josh is the man.”

Coming out to cheers from his friends, Josh wore a handtailored tuxedo given to him from the Men’s Warehouse and he had his banjo slung around his shoulder.

He played and sang the first verse of the song, and Sami said she was delighted to hear her friends singing the backup parts.

Later she said that it all made sense why everyone was being so secretive that week.

Sami said yes by nodding her head, hugged her boyfriend, and was then whisked upstairs to choose a dress donated from Rent the Runway in New York City, and have her makeup and hair done by a local Mechanicsville make-up artist Susan Miller.

4-H project works to help the hungry Following a successful 2013 gardening season raising fresh vegetables such as tomatoes, beans, potatoes and squash, Katie Goodman said she and her 4-H project Help the Hungry look forward to another productive gardening year helping produce fresh, nutritious food for those who are hungry in the Hanover County community.

Local gardeners are pitching in again this year and growing an extra row for the Plant a Row for the Hungry program.

Plans are underway for surplus produce to be harvested and then donated at the Ashland Feed Store at 102 N. Thompson St. in Ashland.

Donated produce from the Hanover Community has contributed to reaching the

significant milestone of 20 million pounds in 20 years (20-n-20) for the Plant a Row for the Hungry program.

For more information, contact Katie Goodman, Help the Hungry at helpthehungry@ yahoo.com Since the first harvests in 1994, gardeners in the U.S. and Canada have delivered more than 20 million pounds of fresh vegetables and fruits to the needy through local Plant a Row for the Hungry (PAR) programs.

This year PAR is celebrating raising more than 20 million pounds in the first 20 years (20n-20). This means more than 80 million meals have been donated by American gardeners. All of this has been achieved without government subsidy — just people helping people.

Capt. David Vermeer has been recognized for stopping a vehicle for a violation, not knowing that the occupants had just robbed a Texaco station.

The driver fired shots at Vermeer before speeding off.

After a pursuit, the vehicle wrecked and the suspects were taken into custody.

Vermeer displayed self-control in a situation involving great personal risk and eventually his testimony led to a successful prosecution.

Capt. Jud Flagg has been recognized for his actions in subduing a suicidal mental subject who posed an immediate and serious threat to the responding officers and the occupants of a home. The subject hurled two metal pipes at Flagg, striking him on the forehead.

In spite of his injury, Flagg was able to physically subdue the subject. Flagg risked his own life in an effort to protect others.

completed or nearly completed last year.

They included a revamping of capital plans to meet renovation needs for Hanover County Public Schools, a result of restructuring of school debt and a Joint Education Committee’s recommendations.

“We’ve developed some comprehensive plans to meet the schools’ renovation needs.

One of the distinctions we’ve made is renovation needs versus capacity needs,” Harris said.

“Right now there are no capacity needs.”

The county administrator indicated that effort to streamline, combine and find savings would continue, and said there are more possible savings in the personnel services area.

Harris said the county adopted what he described as a more robust capital plan going forward to 2015, pointing to increased technology and updated equipment purchased

during the last year.

The county also completed a lengthy process that resulted in an updated Comprehensive Plan during the past year, completing a process that began in 2012.

Regarding economic development, Harris said the county has expanded its base of available Tier 3 primed commercial property by 100 acres that should allow potential businesses to quickly relocate to Hanover County.

The board also was successful in petitioning the U.S. Department of Justice for termination of coverage of the preclearance requirements under Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. Mechanicsville District supervisor Canova Peterson said the designation is significant even though a later ruling declared the Act unconstitutional.

“If it’s ever reinstated, we’re grandfathered,” he said.

Through numerous board actions, the county also devised

a plan to deal with Chesapeake Bay and storm water regulations without raising taxes.

The supervisors approved applications and acceptance of grant money throughout the year to assist in upgrading facilities to meet the new requirements.

“I think we have done an incredible job here collectively — the board and staff — to get our arms around these mandates,” Harris said. “Many of our neighbors are, quite frankly, jealous of the position we’re in.”

Topping the list of 2015 board initiatives is the completion of a citizens’ survey that is designed to gauge public sentiment for government services and how they could be improved.

The program began in 2005 and citizens have been polled three times since then.

“This will be the fourth survey,” Harris said. “We use this survey to tell us, both board and staff, how we’re doing — a report card.”

Updating the county’s cur-

rent economic development strategy plan and implementing the first stages of the Chesapeake Bay management mandates also are on the proposed initiatives for 2015.

Perhaps most dramatic on the wish list, the construction of a new courthouse is the dominant factor on this year’s list of to-do items for the board.

Harris said bids could go out as early as January 2015 and selection of a builder could be reached in two to three months following completion of that process.

Construction is expected to last 18 months.

“We’ve gone through schematic design stages, and met with all the affected individuals: the judges, the Commonwealth’s Attorney, the sheriff, jail officials,” Harris said.

Harris also included a merit pay increase already approved in this year’s budget as part of the 2015 initiative list, as supervisors consider various plans see PRIORITY, pg. 30

Raiders hand Hanover its first softball loss

By Josiah Turner For The Mechanicsville Local Hanover High School’s softball team went into Friday evening unbeaten and ranked No. 2 in the Times-Dispatch prep poll. Their cross-town rivals, No. 7 Atlee, were looking to end the Hawks’ winning streak.

And, with the help of nine strikeouts by the Raiders’ pitcher, Peyton St. George, Atlee did just that, shocking Hanover by handing the host team a 2-1 defeat.

Up until Friday night, Hanover had outscored its opponents 64-4.

“We know we’re a good team, but we just haven’t been playing good as a group,” said Atlee head coach John Early.

“Just to come off and beat one of the top teams in the area …

Boom, it’s a great boost.”

Atlee (4-3) looked determined throughout the game, so Early was not surprised by the outcome. He hopes the win helps build confidence for his girls.

“In order to be able to come out and beat a quality team, and to come out hitting, and play decent defense, it was special for us and special for all the players,” said Early.

Hanover (7-1) may have dropped its first game of the season, but head coach Stephanie Acors is not going to let the loss

ruin her team’s morale.

“We’ll definitely grow from it,” said Acors. “To go through a season undefeated is a huge expectation. … We know we play good teams and we know even teams that aren’t so good, play up to us.”

Hanover starting pitcher Kiandra Mitchum, who has committed to Christopher Newport, had not given yielded a run to an opponent until Friday where she gave up two.

Knowing the type of player Mitchum is, Acors is confident that she’ll be just fine moving forward.

“Kiandra is Kiandra, she’s just ice,” said Acors. “She’s not happy about the loss, trust me,

but she’s good ... strong willed, she’ll be fine.”

Mitchum finished with six strikeouts.

Atlee struck first in the top of the first inning. Cameron Hall opened the game with a walk.

One out later, Hall advanced to third on a Raine Wilson single, then she scored on a Mattie Fitzgerald groundout.

The Hawks tied it in the bottom of the fourth. Kaylyn Shepherd opened the inning by getting hit by a St. George pitch.

Shepherd advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Lacey Sullivan and moved to third on an Erin Acors single. After another out, Mackenzie Wyatt drove Shepherd home with a

single.

The Raiders had a chance to go ahead again in the fifth inning when Shelby Hill tripled, but she was stranded with a pop-up, groundout and strikeout. Atlee did go ahead for good in the sixth inning. Atlee’s Casey Barrett tripled and scored on a groundout by Wilson.

The Hawks were not going down easy, getting runners on second and third in the bottom of the seventh before a popup to Atlee second baseman

Annemarie Warley ended the game.

Hanover has a busy schedule ahead of them, so they won’t be able to dwell on this loss for too long.

“From here on out we have 10 games to play in three weeks, so we’ll just learn from it,” said Stephanie Acors. “We had a few players who struggled tonight who usually don’t struggle. …

You have nights like that. It’s like fishing, that’s why they don’t call it catching.”

Hanover’s Shepherd and Erin Acors finished with two hits apiece.

As for Atlee, the Raiders will use their experience against Hanover continue on with their season.

“It’s going to give us that, ‘Okay, we can do it, we can beat a top level team,’ ” Early said.

Casey, Hawks win tight one against Raiders

By Josiah Turner For The Mechanicsville Local Hanover High School’s Derek Casey pitched another gem for the Hawks Friday night against Atlee.

Casey, a top Major League Baseball draft prospect who has committed to the University of Virginia, the top-ranked college team in the nation, was as good as the scouting reports suggest Friday.

Casey struck out 10 and gave up no runs as he led the Hawks to a 3-0 home victory over Atlee.

Even though the Raiders (38) were a clear underdog to Hanover (9-2), every appearance on the mound is important for Casey as the Major League draft date approaches.

“Atlee and Hanover is always a huge rivalry,” said Hawks head coach Charlie Dragum. “Our guys did a really nice job to battle, Derek made it tough on them. He threw strikes, as he’s a great pitcher of course.”

According to Dragum, any time a rival is on the schedule, it’s going to be a tough game.

“We know it’s going to be close most of the times when we play them, regardless of who the better team is,” Dragum said.

Atlee kept it close throughout, as their defense was sound, but there was not much their hitters could do against Casey.

They did come away with two hits, however – a respectable outing for teams facing Casey.

“It’s tough to not score any runs and what have you ... but it is what it is,” said Atlee head coach Barry Burton. “We work hard, we line up the next time and come back and go at it again.”

Burton knows that his team is young and does not quite have the experience of a team like Hanover, but he does not

inning. Brady Didlake singled and was replaced by courtesy runner Taylor McDougal.

McDougal advanced to third on an Atlee error. Two outs later, he scored on a passed ball.

Hanover added its remaining runs in the fourth inning.

With one out, Elliott Sledd singled and scored on a double by Hayden Moore. Jakob Pridemore reached on a fielder’s choice. One out later, Moore and Pridemore did a double steal to advance to second and third, respectively, and Josh Shepherd walked to load the

bases. Cayman Richardson drew another walk to bring Moore home.

The Hawks, ranked No. 3 in the Times-Dispatch prep poll, continue to prepare themselves for postseason play – and, they Hawks hope, another run at a state title.

“We try to get a little bit better, .038 percent every day, we’re

working really hard to get better. ... If we can do that we’ll be ready to play,” said Dragum. “It’s a lot more pressure, that tournament is going to be a little different this year. We could go undefeated in the regular season, lose one game and be done.”

Dragum would like for his team to get the chance to play the top teams in the area, Freeman and Cosby, but he believes his team is in good shape either way.

“We haven’t been beaten around here, we got beat in South Carolina. … We’d like to play those guys, but we don’t get the opportunity, and we won’t, it’s so sad.”

Driver seeks success in high school, NASCAR

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Ben Rhodes has been making waves as a driver in NASCAR’s K&N Pro Series East for a couple of years now, but he’s only been able to drive to the grocery story on errands from his mom for a few weeks.

The 17-year-old from Louisville, Kentucky, was introduced as a member of NASCAR Next’s class of 201415 at Richmond International Raceway on Friday, Apr. 25. It was the second straight year that the junior at Holy Cross High School in Louisville received that honor.

Rhodes has the track cred to show he deserves it. He is currently first in the K&N Pro Series East standings, with one win and four top-five finishes – including a second-place finish in the rain-delayed Blue Ox 100 at Richmond International Raceway on Saturday, Apr. 26.

– in the five races so far this season.

Dave Lawrence/The Local

Ben Rhodes, a high school student from Louisville, Kentucky, enjoys himself at a fan Q&A session for NASCAR Next’s class of 2014-15 at Richmond International Raceway in April.

While many of his classmates are years away from determining their own professional careers, Rhodes goes about his career as a race-car driver discretely.

days a year and they allow me to come back and make it all up.

That’s really nice of them.”

Rhodes said his performance this year should determine whether he continues in racing or goes straight to college after his high school graduation.

“This is kind of like the deciding year for me – K&N East,” Rhodes said. “After K&N East, you either make that jump to trucks or Nationwide. We’re trying to see how everything goes. I’d like to go to college, get a degree behind me. … If I don’t do it now, at least I have the good grades in high school, the good ACT score, to support me later on in life if I need to go to college.”

Rhodes certainly works hard, but he is also having a lot of fun.

“It’s pretty cool,” Rhodes said. “I’m very fortunate to be in the situation I’m in because I’m learning so much. If I don’t make it in racing, at least it’s an experience I’ll have for life.”

Atlee, Hanover battle to scoreless tie

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com

stuff that goes on in racing.”

Rhodes does not shy away from the business side of racing.

He has publicists, his own television show in Louisville (“On the Track with Ben Rhodes”), a website, and Facebook and

Twitter accounts. He signs autographs, makes public appearances – looking completely comfortable in front of the public – and even has die-cast cars that look like his K&N No. 41 Chevy Impala for sale.

He handles all of the racing, and racing business, stuff and maintains a 4.0 average at school.

“School in general is something that I really value,” Rhode said. “You can always have that with you – nobody can take your education away from you.

I really believe in that, so I work harder at it. I work very hard at it, actually.”

Rhodes misses his share of school days because of his racing, but he does not use that as an excuse for a vacation from academics.

“I’m always doing homework, it seems like, because I’m always gone,” Rhodes said. “But the teachers work with me really well. That’s part of the reason why I go to a smaller school.

They allow me to miss 30-40

Never assume that a scoreless tie in soccer means a boring game.

It probably means a long game, but in the case of Atlee and Hanover high school’s boys’ soccer teams Friday night, the score reflected a hard fought, and often hard-hitting, contest at Hanover with two determined defenses led by two determined goalkeepers keeping the other team out of the net.

Each team had plenty of opportunities to score. Each team almost scored several times, but each time Adam

Farnsworth, Hanover’s keeper with 12 saves, and Matthew Hyland, Atlee’s keeper with five saves, got the stop their teams’ needed through two regulation periods and two overtimes.

“It always is [a scrap] when we meet,” said Atlee head soccer coach Steve Thompson. “It doesn’t matter – records, you might as well throw them out.

It’s always going to be a battle.

They’re going to fight hard. It was good.”

Hanover head coach Laurent Body agreed.

Nowak sets records, but L-D, Atlee finish 1-2

By Jordan Bondurant Richmond Times-Dispatch Deep Run junior Matthew Novak likes to study previous races and watch movies to ease his nerves for big races.

Novak was calm under the spring sunshine Saturday in the Charles B. Gordon Invitational at Douglas Freeman High School. He set a meet record with a time of 1 minute, 55.93 seconds in the 800 meters, and had a hand in the Wildcats’ 3,200 relay victory in 8:06.22, another meet record.

“It’s been a good day,” Novak said. “It was hard to escape the sun. After doing the first 4x8, I was really tired. I wasn’t sure how I would do in the 800. But I raced smart.”

Lee-Davis won the boys’

meet overall with 86 points, followed by Atlee with 65. Atlee and Hanover finished fourth and fifth in the girls’ meet with scores of 63 and 47 points, respectively.

Atlee’s Tre Fields led the first 500 meters of the boys’ 800, but did not have enough to keep ahead of Novak, who stayed on Fields’ heels and passed him running down the backstretch on the final lap.

“It was good to have (Tre) pushing me along,” Novak said.

“I wanted to go out around 56 (seconds) through the first 400. Tre being out front really took a lot of weight off of me considering that he was on the inside and out front for most of the race.”

Novak entered the meet feeling fresh despite having

limited training time because of significant rainfall on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.

“I think he had a good week regardless,” Deep Run coach Drew Spicer said. “He trained pretty hard on Monday and Thursday, and then went kind of light on Tuesday and Wednesday. But we’re pleased with how he’s been working and performing.”

After what she and coach Jeff Brown called a humbling experience at Penn Relays, Henrico junior LaChyna Roe and her teammates entered Saturday with strong motivation.

“We learned to just know what’s going on around you,” Roe said. “(Being at the Penn Relays) was chaotic, but it was still a great experience to be a

part of.”

Roe resumed her role as a workhorse for the Warriors, competing in four events. At the conclusion of the meet, Henrico won the girls team championship, and Roe went home with two gold medals.

“Overall, I’d say it was a pretty productive day,” Roe said. “I’m progressing and seeing great results. I’m proud of my teammates, too. We’ve been working really hard.”

“I definitely don’t go easy on these girls in practice,” Brown added. “I put them to work. But it’s great to see the results.”

Roe’s star has been on the rise since she began her career under Brown’s direction. This season, Roe has eclipsed the 40-foot mark in the triple jump, one of her signature events.

She captured the Group 5A state indoor championship in March.

Cosby’s Tyler Powell doubled by winning the boys’ shot put (57 feet, 4¼ inches) and discus (161-1). J.R. Tucker’s Denise O’Rourke duplicated the feat in the girls’ meet, capturing the discus (134-6) and shot put (37-4¾).

Body complimented Atlee’s possessions.

“Yeah, they were,” Farnsworth said. “We were playing good defense, though.

With all the scrambling, there was a lot of contact – and not a few yellow cards.

“There was a lot of hitting, and yellow cards – mostly for our team,” Farnsworth laughed.

Body said it was a great night for the goalkeepers.

“They are phenomenal,” Body said. “My keeper, he was flying today.”

Atlee pressed Farnsworth severely toward the end of the second half of regulation. The Raiders got two difficult shots on him in quick succession on an initial kick and rebound.

“One action, two super saves,” Body said. “The first save was down low on the right, and then it was up high – he just caught it behind his head.

Atlee student bound for Germany for study trip

Special delivery to USO

Staff Report news@mechlocal.com Mary Coates, a student at Atlee High School, has been awarded an all-expense-paid summer study trip to Germany.

She was selected as a national winner after scoring in the 94th percentile on the Level 4 2014 National German Exam for High School Students sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of German (AATG).

Nearly 21,000 students participated in the program.

After qualifying with a high score on the National German Exam, she submitted responses to several short essay questions in German and in English and was then interviewed by a committee comprised of high school teachers and college professors of German.

Coates is one of 44 outstanding German students selected from across the United States to receive the award.

The study trip includes round-trip air transportation to Germany from New York, a homestay in a host family and excursions to places of cultural and historical significance.

The study trip award is made possible through a grant from the Federal Republic of Germany.

“This program gives students the chance to

experience Germany first-hand by living with a German family and attending school,” Keith Cothrun, executive director of the AATG, said.

“It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity.”

Coates and the other winners will travel to Germany this summer. She is a student of Tracy Hughes, German teacher at Atlee High School.

Cecilia Powell, Serena Dean, Cordelia Crawford, Juliana Dean and Aislinn Powell of Girl Scout Troop 3024 visited the USO of Hampton Roads and Central Virginia at the Richmond International Airport over spring break to deliver Girl Scout cookies to servicemen and women. The troop collected donations for 137 boxes of cookies for the USO.

New study reveals 205,000 Central Virginians at risk of hunger Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com A new study finds that 205,000 individuals in FeedMore’s service area — including 51,440 children — do not always know where they will find their next meal. In all, over 13 percent of Central Virginians struggle with hunger, according to research recently released by Feeding America, the nation’s network of food banks.

In Hanover County, 7.5 percent of the population and 12.1 percent of children — 7,460 individuals and 2,990 children — are impacted.

“Studies like Map the Meal Gap 2014 allow FeedMore to continue to evaluate and adjust to the need in our area,” Jeff Baldwin, media and public relations manager for FeedMore, said.

“The research data shows that hunger continues to be a reality for thousands of our neighbors.”

Map the Meal Gap 2014 is a detailed analysis

The Mechanicsville Local

of food insecurity done by Feeding America and the only study available that provides county — level estimates of food insecurity in the United States.

Food insecurity is defined by the USDA as a socioeconomic condition of limited or uncertain access to enough food to support a healthy life.

Additional data available in the Map the Meal Gap study include weekly food-budget shortfalls, demographics and poverty levels.

“Hunger is a pervasive and solvable problem plaguing every corner of America today,” Bob Aiken, CEO of Feeding America, said. “By continuing to provide extensive and revealing data like the 2014 Map the Meal Gap study, we will be able to tackle these issues head-on and be armed with the information needed to work towards making sure everyone has enough to eat.”

Research for the study was supported by the

May 7, 2014

Howard G. Buffett Foundation, ConAgra Foods Foundation and Nielsen.

“It should be a wake-up call to us all that nearly 50 million of our neighbors are at risk of hunger in the United States, a country with the most productive farmers helping to feed the world,” Howard G. Buffett, chairman and CEO of the Howard G. Buffett Foundation, said. “Research like Map the Meal Gap is critical to organizations like the Feeding America network of food banks and agencies as they work to develop the most effective solutions for addressing hunger in every community in America.”

The Map the Meal Gap 2014 analysis was developed by Dr. Craig Gundersen for Feeding America.

Food-insecurity rates are based on a statelevel model that allows for estimation of the population in need of food at the county and congressional district level.

Additionally, Feeding America worked in collaboration with Nielsen to arrive at estimates for food-cost variation by county.

Results were reviewed by the Feeding America Technical Advisory Group in order to ensure accuracy and promote transparency.

A summary of the findings, an interactive map of the United States, and the full report are available at feedingamerica.org/mapthegap.

The study also reveals that 46 percent of the food-insecure population in FeedMore’s service area lives below the SNAP threshold of 130 percent poverty and 61 percent of children are eligible for federal nutrition programs, like free or reduced-price school lunch or breakfast.

“No one should have to worry about where they will find their next meal,” Baldwin added.

“We are confident Central Virginia will continue to rally together and help us ensure that no child, family or senior goes hungry in our region.”
