Jostens National Yearbook Program of Excellence Awards are presented twice a year – in May for yearbooks delivered in the spring and in September for yearbooks delivered in the fall.

The award was presented to the Oak Knoll Middle School yearbook program for achieving the defined criteria in each of three following categories:

creating an inclusive yearbook, generating school engagement, and successfully managing the yearbook creation process.

“Jostens believes passionately in the importance of the yearbook tradition connecting every student to the school story and the school year and we are honored to recognize these yearbook programs,” Mike Wolf, director, Yearbook Marketing, Jostens, said. “We understand that a great yearbook program does not just happen, and we are dedicated to helping schools strengthen their programs by

providing the tools and personal guidance for success. The National Yearbook Program of Excellence recognizes schools that embrace the yearbook tradition and have built a yearbook program that serves the entire school community.”

The Oak Knoll Middle School yearbook program will receive a plaque and a banner to display in school, so the entire school community will be aware of the achievement.

Founded in 1897, Jostens has produced school yearbooks for more than 60 years.

Debt restructure pursued for Lewistown In 2007, Hanover County authorized the issuance of almost $38 million in Community Development Authority bonds to develop more than 100 acres in the Winding Brook/Lewistown Road area off Interstate 95.

Bass Pro Shops moved in shortly after with a fair amount of hoopla, and, by all accounts, has been a true success story for the area.

But the influx of commercial development didn’t follow, largely due to a recessed economy and overall dismal commercial conditions.

While the commercial development anticipated has not materialized over the past six years, those bonds have increased in debt burden, and

As a result, Landowners say the cost of the bonds in the form of special assessment taxes is sucking the life from the development, and Hanover County Economic Development director Edwin Gaskin agrees and is asking supervisors to authorize a restructure of the debt, inferring it’s the only option that will stop the bleeding.

OPINION | The Local Views

There are many learning aspects

From the editor

It’s tomato time — festival date nears Mark your calendar because “the” event in Mechanicsville is fast approaching. The Hanover Tomato Festival will be held from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, July 12, at Pole Green Park, which is located at 8996 Pole Green Park Lane.

This is a don’t-miss for Hanover County residents and our neighboring communities. Thousands of people flood the grounds of Pole Green Park for a day filled with entertainment, food, fun and fellowship.

And, of course, the Tiny and Little Miss Tomato Festival winners will be crowned during opening ceremonies. The pageant is scheduled for Sunday, June 28, at the East Hanover Volunteer Rescue Squad at 8105 Walnut Grove Road in Mechanicsville.

Thanks to Lynn Watson, director, you can start enjoying the festival experience early by attending the pageant.

The girls are adorable — and some of their responses to Lynn’s questions are endearing and comical. You know the old saying, “Kids say the darndest things.”

For more information on the pageant or the festival, call 804-365-7150, email parksandrec@hanovercounty.gov or go online to hanovertomatofestival@hanovercounty.gov.

Something new is on the lineup this year — a Tomato Un-Cookoff, which will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Friday, July 11, at the park.

The Un-Cookoff is being sponsored by Hanover County Parks and Recreation, which spearheads the festival with the Hanover Tomato Festival Committee and the Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department.

The year was 1978 when the Black Creek VFD started the festival as a fundraiser. To say it has grown through the years is an understatement.

This writer’s first Tomato Festival in 2009 set a record in attendance, with more than 40,000 people enjoying the festivities.

We’re excited as the big day nears and welcome your memories of the event through the years. Share your special Tomato Festival moments on our Facebook page: www.facebook.com/mechlocal.

See you on July 12!

June 11, 2014

By Roslyn Ryan Richmond Suburban News A couple of weeks ago, on one of those perfect pre-summer evenings you wish you could bottle and save, I had the chance to swing by my fatherin-law’s house for a look at his garden.

To call it a home garden almost doesn’t seem fair. Rather, it looks like a mini farming operation, with row after perfectly-spaced row of lush, green plants.

The gargantuan cabbages alone would feed a family for a week, never mind the dozens of potato plants.

“How do you learn how to do this?” I asked him once, and he simply shrugged.

To him, it is not such a big deal — just something he does every year.

I’ve never heard this from him, but I suspect that he has learned to create an awe-inspiring garden via the same method people have been using for eons: He learned a little by watching, a little by asking questions, and the rest by simply doing it himself.

I can’t help but think about this as I watch our newest crop of high school seniors head out into the world, many of them bound for higher education.

They will learn so much over the next few years, much of it from books, but, hopefully they also will find time to learn a bit from just being out, unsu-

pervised, in the world.

So many things, after all, are best learned through experience.

I remember, years ago, trying to help a good friend fix an old lawnmower by using a textbook on small engine repair.

We had the book, right? How hard could it be?

Hours later, covered in grease and surrounded by miscellaneous parts — some of which may not even have belonged to the lawnmower we were working on — we finally threw up our hands. see LEARNING, pg. 8

LETTERS | Reader Views

Suggestions offered on how to name new courts building Hearing the reason for George Bush receiving the Kennedy Courage Award confirms to me that most politicians must be nuts. They could find nothing good in his eight years as vice president and four years as president to justify an award so they give him an award for screwing up.

Reminds me of the second place trophies constructed on Monument Avenue.

Soon we should be hearing that Nancy Pelosi and Hillary Clinton got awards for being the politician’s top choice as the beauties all American men are waiting to date.

And while this subject came up, we need to come up with a better procedure for naming taxpayer, tax money purchased properties.

I’ve had a few calls saying there are a number of upset people due to the Hanover Airport name change.

As far as I can see, this was a proper decision as I understand the airport does not belong to the taxpayers and the land and the original building may have been donated.

No different than Donald Trump; if he builds a tower with his own money, he can name it Trump Towers. If he wants to buy an airline, he can call it Trump Airline. Build or buy a casino and name it Trump Casino, nothing wrong with that. You buy it, you name it.

Before we start naming the new courts building we need to require our county asset naming committee to meet at

milk and cheese happy hour instead of the well known wine and cheese happy hour.

After all, milk is the Virginia State beverage and the government only recommends drinking wine between 5 and 7 p.m. to make the political news seem better and believable.

They know it’s easier to influence those under the influence.

Why do you think they are slowly legalizing pot?

Our tax money purchased properties should be named after taxpayers, not a government employed individual.

Government pays government people very well with taxpayer money, great salaries, great benefits, great retirement, great public relations and their own legal system.

Some have gotten away with murder and many get away every day for crimes that would send the average taxpayer to prison. Thus, when they say “We take care of our own” it see LETTERS, pg. 8

planted and pleased to say I live in Hanover County.

Since I have lived here no one has bothered to check my pedigree — just good folks live here.

My pleasure with our county is not the purpose for my writing. Not at all, albeit it is nice to tell my neighbors of this county and how I feel we are fortunate to live here.

My reason for writing is to point out the very happy and lucky state I find us as citizens of Hanover County.

There are two public servants that in my experience of 31 years of practicing law I have not seen the likes of.

I speak of Trip Chalkley, our commonwealth’s attorney, and David Hines, our sheriff.

On a number of occasions I have found myself, as an attorney, in opposition to both of these two gentlemen.

In the case of Mr. Chalkley, I almost weekly go against him or members of his staff (all well trained professionals). I have found all of them to be fair, yet firm in cases that affect our community.

My opportunities to be in opposition of Sheriff Hines directly are not as frequent as that of Mr. Chalkley and staff.

However, I did have an opportunity to cross-examine the sheriff in a case tried in Middlesex County. He served as an expert witness for the Sheriff ’s Department in a case the Virginia State Bar told me I was required to come onto after an attorney surrendered his license.

Let’s just say Sheriff Hines had a better day than I. Now I come to why I have decided to write to you my fellow Hanover citizens.

I am a lifelong Democrat, yet I want to encourage you to vote in the next election for both Mr. Chalkley and Sheriff Hines.

As a citizen I have not seen the quality of the public servants as we have in these two men.

The Sheriff ’s Office patrols this county like none I have ever seen. The officers I encounter, which is as often as I encounter Mr. Chalkley and his staff, are professional (a reflection of training) and courteous.

The level of the patrols leaves me feeling safe. I am mindful that when each officer leaves his/her loved ones to protect us, they do not know that they will come home safe to their families.

We are fortunate to have

However, I am very disappointed when I go out and about and see how hard people have worked to clean up yards and do their mulching only to have missed picking up the trash that has accumulated over the winter.

That’s when she started thinking about her delivery options. “I knew I wanted to deliver at a hospital that would allow me to labor naturally. At that point, I knew Bon Secours was the best choice for me.” Heather was also excited about their CenteringPregnancy® program which provided additional support and social interaction. “I chose a midwife and hydrotherapy services to manage my labor.

An R-1 District adjoining an R-2 District would be a harmonious transition. An RM District adjoining an R-1 District would not be a harmonious transition.

Harmonious transitions are not mandated in the Zoning

Ordinance, but CP suggests that they should be.

Over the past couple decades the Planning Department, with concurrence of the Planning Commission and the BOS, has made changes to the Zoning Ordinance. These changes have

rendered harmonious transition more optional and arbitrary.

In the past, developers had a spectrum of residential Zoning Districts: R-1, R-2, R-3 and R4. This spectrum of districts offered developers gradual changes in density.

Today only RS, Residential Single-Family and RM, Residential Multi-Family, remain.

With the lack of options, implementing harmonious transitions depends upon the good will of developers, which

is proving to be an unrequited expectation. Consider The Meadows at Bell Creek. The surrounding communities, Hanover Grove to the east and Meadow Gate to the south, have

the national spokesperson for National Women Build Week 2014 and a longtime supporter of Habitat for Humanity.

“I am delighted to once again support National Women Build Week and look forward to building alongside the amazing women who take part in this special event,” Peete said.

“A home provides such a strong foundation for families, and this week offers great opportunities for women to join together, learn new skills and help families in need of affordable housing.”

Lowe’s helped launch National Women Build Week in 2008 and each year provides

the support of Lowe’s Heroes and conducts how-to clinics at stores to teach volunteers construction skills.

Lowe’s donated $1.75 million to this year’s National Women Build Week, including a $5,000 store gift card to Hanover Habitat for Humanity, as part of a new five-year partnership with Habitat that will bring Lowe’s total contributions to more than $63 million since 2003.

In celebration of this renewed partnership, Lowe’s and Habitat launched Hammers for Habitat, a volunteer initiative inviting men and women across America to give one day to help make the dream of homeownership a reality for a family in their community. To learn more,

visit Habitat.org/Lowes.

“As part of National Women Build Week, we’re encouraging women across America to raise a hammer to help create safe and affordable housing in partnership with local families,” Joan Higginbotham, Lowe’s director of community relations, said. “We thank our Lowe’s Heroes and the thousands of volunteers who will help strengthen communities throughout the country this week.”

The U.S. Census Bureau reports more than 16.1 million children are living in poverty in the United States. Nearly 24 percent of children reside with women heads-of-household.

Habitat’s Women Build program recruits, educates and

inspires women to build and advocate for simple, decent and affordable homes in their communities.

Since the program was created in 1998, more than 2,200 homes have been built in partnership with low-income families using Women Build crews.

More than 52,000 women from all 50 states have volunteered at the six previous Women Build Week events.

Journalist Brit Hume presented the Commencement address on Saturday, May 31, as 225 seniors received their degrees from Randolph-Macon College in Ashland.

Hume encouraged graduates to work hard, be polite, and persevere.

“Whatever the job is, however menial it may seem, it matters to someone above you that it be done properly. And if you do so and do it cheerfully and well it will be noticed.

It will especially be noticed in such small things as your phone manners,” he said.

As for the future, Hume

camp out and take turns walking or running around a track or path. Each team is asked to have a representative on the track at all times during the event.

Anyone can participate in Relay For Life. Friends, families, co-workers, church groups, classmates or any other group can form their own teams.

The only requirement to participate in Relay For Life is the $10 commitment fee that is due upon registration. After that, anything raised through individual, team or online fundraising is graciously accepted. It is recommended that each participant set a personal goal to raise at least $100, but participation is welcomed no matter the funds raised.

To be part of Relay, you can start a team or join an existing team. You also can make an online donation.

Relay For Life ceremony

opens as cancer survivors walk or wheelchair the survivor lap (golf carts also are provided).

Highlighting the evening is the Luminary Ceremony held after dark to honor cancer survivors and to remember those who have lost the battle against cancer.

The luminaries line the track and are left burning throughout the night to remind participants of the importance of their contributions.

“Relay For Life is as much an awareness raiser about the progress against cancer as it is a fundraiser,” Arlene Hayes, the 2014 event chair, said. “Many of the participants will be people who have dealt with cancer themselves. Their involvement is proof of the progress that has been made in reducing cancer death rates and in the quality of life following cancer treatment.”

The next team captain meeting for the 2014 Relay For Life is scheduled for 7 p.m. on Monday, March 17, at the Independence Christian Church at 14023

He would always finish by saying, “I thank you kindly for shopping at Kroger. You are the reason I am blessed to work here.”

Leon’s commitment to his job and his customers is a beautiful reminder of the major impact you can have on the lives of others by simply doing whatever you do well. see LETTERS, pg. 19

The employees were thanked and congratulated by Board of Supervisors chairman Sean Davis and county administrator Cecil R. Harris Jr. “You’ve made me proud for all these many years,” Harris told them.

The Board of Supervisors annually recognizes its employees for their tenure with the county.

Employees reaching the 15-, 20-, 25- and 30-year service levels are presented with a service pin and small gifts of appreciation, with choices depending on the length of service.

Information submitted by Tom Harris, Hanover County public information officer.

CHAIRMAN

Development Department want people to believe that this is so bad that if we don’t do something, then it’s going to get worse and the property won’t get developed if we don’t do that,” Davis said.

He contends the land will be developed through normal free market methods, and questions the county’s role in the project.

“That’s not our role,” Davis said.

Davis was not in office when the original CDA was formed, but does have thoughts on how

it could have been done differently.

“It was a very aggressive plan that, to me, required a much more reasoned approach than what was taken,” he said.

Davis said expectations were overly optimistic at the time of the original deal. “Not only did the market collapse, but in order for this project to succeed, it would have to have continued on the same trajectory. That was way too optimistic and very much a gamble.”

Davis said he agrees the

county faces no liability with the defaulted bonds, but said, “It’s important to note that the county is not out any money.”

“But, the bondholders need to realize you can’t have the reward without the risk,” he added.

Davis said he favors nonapproval of the restructuring plan. A June 25 public hearing is scheduled.

“I just don’t know that this is our place to do this,” Davis said. “Unfortunately, a bad decision was made, but, in

my opinion, the board doesn’t need to take any action on restructuring.”

Davis also acknowledges the county has benefited from the agreement. “We’ve got water and sewer up there so let’s let this thing work itself out. This is good prime real estate.”

When you talk about the Lewistown Commerce Center Community Development Authority, these are not county bonds in any way,” Gaskin recently said.

CDAs are a state-created tool that allows counties to expand infrastructure without placing the burden on county taxpayers.

Landowners in those areas, with the authorization of the locality, can form CDAs to fund improvements.

They repay the loans with an increased and additional fee on their current taxes.

Gaskin said CDAs are a valuable

tool that can save county taxpayers money in ideal conditions, and there have been noted benefits to the county.

“The county has benefited from day one. They’ve gotten other people’s money to pay for infrastructure; infrastructure that normally would have been paid by taxpayer-funded bonds,” Gaskin said. “The county is sitting pretty.”

The landowners in the Lewistown CDA provided the money for the improvements, realizing the upgrades would increase land values in the district.

“They agreed to do this because they felt, correctly, those infrastructure improvements would attract com-

government funding or support.

And then the recession hit, and, six years later, the whole project in “underwater.”

“The fact is these bonds are currently in default and the payments are not being properly made,” Gaskin said.

He said results from the project have fallen far short of projected revenues. “If not for the recession, we probably wouldn’t be having this conversation,” Gaskin said.

Currently, the bonds add $300,000 an acre and the restructuring plan would reduce to that about $100,000 per acre. Local landowners in the 100acre tract said that will make their

Police investigating threat at King William High School

BY REED WILLIAMS Richmond Times-Dispatch

Authorities are investigating a message scrawled in a bathroom at King William High School that threatens to “kill everyone.”

The message was brought to the attention of the school’s principal about 10 a.m. Thursday,

said King William County schools Superintendent Mark Jones.

Officials said they are taking the message seriously and will be adding security at county schools today and next week.

The message, written in a boy’s bathroom at the school, says, “I will kill everyone.” Written below the threatening words is Monday’s

date.

Beside the message is a crudely drawn symbol that authorities said they do not recognize.

King William sheriff’s Lt. Tim Hixenbaugh said he has sent a picture of the symbol to law enforcement officials nationwide to see if anyone recognizes it.

Authorities on Thursday were

trying to determine who wrote the message and why. Hixenbaugh and school officials said they were unaware of any other similar incidents at the school.

land more marketable and attractive to developers.

Gaskin said it gives the project the “shot in the arm” it needs.

In order to restructure the debt, the CDA must gain county approval, especially since Hanover is in a somewhat “participatory role” in the project.

The county and the bondholders agreed to split new tax revenues from the increased development on a 75/25 ratio in the landowner’s favor in the original agreement.

The new restructure would establish a 50/50 split on future revenues for 40 years, meaning the county is out of the deal in 2054 or sooner if the debt is repaid.

Gaskin outlined two major prob-

of The Parsons’ Cause. Henry challenged the two most potent entities of colonial Virginia, the king and the clergy. The case proved to be one of the opening salvos of the revolution, and started Henry on the path of becoming the “Voice of the Revolution.”

George Washington – My Life, the Revolution and Hanover County; performance on June 28.

The father of our country reflects on his life, the battles and turning points of the revolution, his connection to Hanover County and the importance of leadership.

Patrick Henry – The Voice of Liberty; performance on July 5.

Hear Henry, in the last year of his life, as he reflects on his childhood, two marriages, religious convictions, love of children, various careers and key contributions to the formation of the United States. The talk also includes excerpts from Henry’s best known speeches.

Margaret Wight – My View of the Civil War; performance on July 12.

Hanover Tavern was a place of refuge during the Civil War. Margaret Copland Brown Wight and some of her family braved the war at the Tavern from 1862 until 1865 in the company of a small community

lems for prospective clients at Winding Brook, the first being the association with a CDA and the second being the large CDA assessment charges on the land.

“We’re looking to reduce that from $300,000 to $100,000, and that will allow the property’s marketability to improve,” Gaskin said.

Doing nothing to adjust the debt could result in even more serious results, according to Gaskin.

“It’s a complicated process and I know it’s messy,” he said. “The debt would remain as a lien on that land.

We haven’t seen the consequences of that default state. The bondholders, the

of refugees. She kept a diary to document each hardship and every blessing, news of her sons fighting in the Confederate army or word from her daughter caught behind enemy lines.

Wight’s diary, discovered more than a century after the war, is a vital voice from a time of tumult.

Capt. John Paul Jones – “I Have Not Yet Begun to Fight;” performance on July 19.

Hear the inspiring story of Capt. John Paul Jones of the Continental Navy. Experience being on the deck of the Bonhomme Richard with the wind in your hair, the roar of guns in your ears, and the flash of swords before your eyes.

Jones battles the British frigate Serapis against impossible odds, but wins this incredible sea battle simply because he will not give up. The talk also includes anecdotes from the life of Jones before and after his famous battle, including his unsuccessful courtship of Dorothea Spotswood Dandridge, who instead married Patrick Henry.

James Madison – The Revolution, the Constitution and Beyond; performance on July 26.

Hailed as “The Father of the Constitution,” James Madison reflects on the Revolution, the Declaration of Independence,

see DEBT, pg. 32

the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and his own Presidency.

William Byrd II – The Founder of Richmond; performance on Aug. 2.

Byrd discusses his life at Westover Plantation, the founding of Richmond, his role in establishing the dividing line between Virginia and North Carolina, and his relationship with the Chiswells of Hanover, including his lust for Mrs. Chiswell.

Benjamin F. Stringfellow – “The Most Dangerous Man in the Confederacy;” performance on Aug. 9 “Frank” Stringfellow, who weighed 100 pounds soaking wet, was turned down in his first four attempts to join the Confederate army. Frank later convinced an officer to let him enlist. Thereafter, he became a “scout” and developed the second biggest spy ring in the South. Hear Frank tell of his adventures, including posing as a dentist, a woman and a merchant in order to escape from the enemy.

Lafayette – My Travels Through Hanover County; performance on Aug. 16.

The Marquis de Lafayette expounds on his commitment to the American Revolution, his close ties to George Washington and his travels through Hanover County during the war.

Jean C. Harris honor presented to Bulkley Greg Bulkley, general manager of Bass Pro Shops in Hanover and supporter of many nonprofits in Hanover County, recently was named the 2014 recipient of the Jean C. Harris Award for Excellence, the top annual award given by Hanover Community Services.

Bulkley has made Bass Pro Shops available to host various events, including the “A Taste of Hanover” fundraiser whose proceeds support individuals with disabilities, as well as Breakfast with Santa and fundraising hot dog sales in November and December.

He also volunteers with, fundraises for and supports such organizations as the Wounded Warrior program, the Virginia Wheelin’ Sportsmen and Heroes on the Water, all of which provide sporting opportunities for people with disabilities.

Bulkley and Bass Pro Shops also partner with the Hanover Association of Businesses and Chamber of Commerce to host the annual “Down to Earth,” which celebrates conservation and Earth Day. “Greg has taken the benefits of his business to create a welcome home for all persons and non-profit organizations that provide services for those

folks,” Pat Thacker, last year’s winner, said. “Greg sees beyond the word ‘disability’ and sees only the word ‘ability.’ His personal mission is to provide as many opportunities as possible to assure that persons who need support can participate in whatever activities they wish to try.”

Also praising Bulkley during the ceremony were Wanda J. Martin and Florence Watt of the CSB and Hamilton Holloway representing the Board of Directors of Hanover Arc. “I am very humbled and very honored to receive this,” Bulkley, who gave much of the credit to his staff and his company, said. “I will always cherish it as a great moment in my life.”

Two Hanover residents graduate VSP Academy Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com On Monday, June 9, 44 new Virginia State Police troopers began their career on patrol in counties and along interstates across the Commonwealth.

Members of the 121st Basic Session graduated on Friday, June 6, from the Virginia State Police Academy in Richmond.

The 44 graduates began their rigorous 37-week training session in December 2013. During that time, the new troopers received instruction in more than 100 different subjects spanning hundreds of hours.

Academy training included such areas as crime scene investigation, survival Spanish, judicial procedures, self defense, cultural diversity and firearms.

The graduates’ final phase of train-

ing begins Monday when the new troopers report to their respective duty assignments.

Each trooper will spend a minimum of six weeks with a field training officer learning his or her new patrol area and day-to-day duties.

Among the 44 new graduates are two Hanover County natives Trooper C.J. Gefell and Trooper Brandon M. Ronquest.

Gefell, 24, of Mechanicsville, begins

his career with the State Police on patrol in Mecklenburg County.

Ussery and his wife Ellen produce their own eggs and poultry, and most of their fruits and vegetables, on three good acres in northern Virginia.

He also breeds his own chickens — a flock of Icelandics, his choice as the most self-sufficient homestead breed — and explores new ways to feed them from home resources, with less reliance on purchased feeds.

He has written extensively for Mother Earth News, Backyard Poultry, and Countryside & Small Stock Journal.

Ussery’s book, The SmallScale Poultry Flock (Chelsea Green, 2011), sets a new standard for holistic poultry husbandry. His website is www. themodernhomestead.us.

Like most of the speakers, Lacombe expressed support for the outgoing director.

“I saw way more positive than negative,” Lacombe said.”

“The revolving door has to stop.

We had a happy director in April who resigned in May.” Mechanicsville District representative Glenn Millican addressed the attrition concerns in general. “I think there are a number of elements involved in attrition,” he said in listing a number of factors, including compensation, review and policy adjustments.

“We need to look at the personnel policies we have. Some of them border on zero tolerance. I think there has to be some subjective interpretation,” Millican said.

Millican is one of five candidates vying for the open seat this month and was the only applicant who attended the open forum.

Hank Lowry, Ashland District, specifically addressed the situation at Lee-Davis.

“His question is we’ve had four directors in four years at Lee-Davis and why we have that situation there,” Lowry said.

“Whether we’ll be able to share the answer with you or not, I don’t know.”

According to a written statement by tournament directors

Bob Hundley, Chickahominy District, said they would look into the high attrition rates in that position at Lee-Davis.

“For whatever reason, something hasn’t worked there for these last four years and there’s only so much we can say about it,” Hundley said.

Mike Watkins and Michael Watkins Jr., the event, set to kick off at 9 a.m. on Saturday, July 26, aims not only to raise money for Lee-Davis High School senior Christian Chenault and the Brain Injury Association of Virginia, but also to raise awareness of traumatic brain injuries and the importance of wearing helmets during high-impact sports, like snowboarding and skiing.

Chenault was involved in a snowboarding accident on Feb. 7 at Wintergreen Resort that left him comatose at the University of Virginia Medical Center for eight full days.

After several weeks in the hospital and an inpatient rehabilitation center, Chenault has returned home and continues

“You change the leadership four times in four years, and it’s not a good situation,” John Axselle, Beaverdam District, said.

Earl Hunter, Henry District, said this is one case that fell through the cracks and he apologized for that error.

Many choral booster club members and students showed up to voice their concern for the high turnover rate.

“I see sporting programs being put ahead of our arts and academics as well. What does that show these kids?” Lisa Horne said. “I am fearful there will not a choral program at LD in the future.”

Maenzie Rodriguez, a LeeDavis student, said teachers that she respects are not returning.

“It’s heart-breaking. It’s hard to have someone shed so much light on something and then have it disappear. We want to see our program thrive.”

Sue Dibble, South Anna District, said she heard the concerns and agreed the situation was not positive for students involved in the program.

“Four years and four different directors is not something we are proud of. It’s something we are going to work very hard on changing. We do care,” Dibble said.

Sulser said the choral job is extremely difficult. “It will wear people out,” he said. “The program helps them overall for the rest of their lives. We’ve had two principals at L-D the last four

If the program is not doing well, or the new director is not meeting expectations, Wilson said she is open to parents contacting her to discuss the situation.

“Education in Hanover County is not just the classroom,” Axselle said. “What complements that and is equally important is art and sports. You are taught discipline, hard work.

It works.” “We realize we’ve had a problem, and it is important to us,” he added.

Lance Marshall, a junior at LD, asked why sports jerseys and uniforms are supplied, while choral students are required to provide their own outfits.

Rachel Levy, president of Hanover Professional Educators, said the choral director position is not an isolated case.

“I’ve heard about unhappiness and turnover at other schools,” Levy said. “Teachers are leaving Hanover County. These are teachers that have been around for awhile. For every show choir story from L-D, there’s another story at another school,” Levy

said.

She cited increased workloads as a major factor in teacher attrition. “High teacher attrition is a bad sign,” Levy said. “This teacher turnover is alarming. Are you going to start keeping better records to see who is leaving and why? There is a system-wide problem.”

Hundley said the board is limited in its efforts to find out those reasons. “We are now conducting exit interviews,” he said. “An average turnover in a good economic climate is about 200 to 250 teachers a year.”

He said the typical reason for leaving is that teachers find other jobs with better compensation. “That’s a very big concern for us,” Hundley said.

“Is it a crisis or is it an up-tick in a trend? I don’t think you start with the sky is falling. I don’t see the crisis level you’ve described,” he said in response to Levy’s comments.

“The extra class has been a challenge for some teachers,” Wilson said. “But overall the statistics

years,” Sulser said.

And there’s a new principal on the way for next year.

“One of his priorities needs to be taking a look at this situation and making it work better,” the Cold Harbor representative said.

One parent was emotional when describing the benefits of the program to her children, one still in the program and one graduated.

“This program has given her a confidence that I’ve never seen in her,” Melanie Rodriguez said when describing the benefits of the program on her once shy child. “Can you reassure these children that we will have a show choir next year?”

No matter the circumstances, Hundley said the program will continue.

Wilson said, “Traditions often outlive the people in Hanover. Show choir is a tradition. We have a commitment to music education. I would ask you to give it a chance,” she said regarding the new director scheduled to begin in the fall.

Lee-Davis boys earn 5A state track title

By Billy Fellin Richmond Times-Dispatch NEWPORT NEWS — LeeDavis’ Haiden Lamb said his team came together over two days at the state track championship meet.

“Yesterday and today, we became more of a team than we ever have been,” he said.

“It’s states, it’s a different atmosphere. We all want a ring.”

Lamb and his teammates will need to have their fingers sized because the Confederates took home the Group 5A boys title Saturday at Todd Stadium, scoring 60.5 points, with Highland Springs at 52.5 and Atlee at 48.

“It’s a great feeling to know that you put in several years of work to get to this point,” LeeDavis coach Neil Mathews said.

“It says a lot for track in Central Virginia. (Highland Springs and Atlee) are really, really tough teams and I told my guys that they beat two really, really good teams. It was just our day.”

Lee-Davis went up in the team standings by winning the 400 relay in 42.48, an effort to which Lamb contributed a strong anchor leg. He also won the 100 meters in 10.71.

“It’s a new school record and PR of mine,” he said of the 100.

“In the (400 relay), we got the school record for that, too.”

Hawks clip Grafton for region baseball title

By Eric Kolenich Richmond Times-Dispatch One is an up-and-coming sophomore on the Hanover pitching staff. The other is a senior who pitched his biggest game of the year. Together, they combined to throw a two-hitter as Hanover High School defeated visiting Grafton 2-0 in the 4A South Region championship Friday.

The Hawks (19-2), only two wins away from a state championship, play Sherando on Friday in the 4A state semifinals at Liberty University at 3 p.m. Grafton (19-6) takes on Millbrook in the other semifinal.

Taking the mound first was sophomore Grey Lyttle. He’s the Hawks’ No. 2 starter behind ace Derek Casey. Lyttle struck out six and allowed one hit.

Because he pitched four innings Monday, he was allowed only three more Friday.

Lyttle was promoted to the varsity during the playoffs of his freshman season. He pitched only two innings at the varsity level that year. Now he’s a mainstay in the rotation.

“It’s gone really well,” Lyttle

said of his first full year on varsity.

In the fourth, Hanover coach Charlie Dragum turned the mound over to senior Matthew Corley, who’s committed to Mary Washington.

Corley pitched the final four

innings, allowing one hit and striking out four.

Corley pitched in last year’s region championship game, too. In that game, Hanover stumbled against Douglas Freeman. In a way, Corley was able to make reparations for

last year’s loss.

“It was kind of a payback game,” Corley said. “I felt I had everything working.”

Corley has started only three games this season and has only pitched 15 or 20 innings.

With so much pitching on the

Hanover roster, it’s been hard to find him innings.

In addition to Casey, among the state’s best pitchers, Hanover has Lyttle, Trevor Denton, Thomas Renfro and Hayden Moore at its disposal.

“We’re so deep on the

mound,” Dragum said. “(Corley) waited his turn and he did what he needed to do.”

Hanover’s next opponent, Sherando, won the Group AA championship last year. The Hawks, too, are defending champions. They won at the Group AAA level. Because the Virginia High School League’s realignment, both compete at the 4A level now.

Although the Hawks are playing at a lower level than last year, they’re not taking Sherando for granted.

“There’s no way you can look down on them,” Corley said. “They’re just as tough as we are.”

Hanover got its first run in the third inning when John Gregory knocked in Cayman Richardson with an RBI double. An inning later, Jakob Pridemore hit in Eliott Sledd for the second run.

The Hawks will look to jump-start their offense in the next seven days. They’ve scored only five runs in the past two games. Their win Wednesday against Nansemond River came on a bases-loaded walk. see HAWKS, pg. 48

King William advances to region final

By Arthur Utley For The Mechanicsville Local King William third baseman Essence Jackson had the green light to swing on a 3-0 pitch leading off the bottom of the fifth inning of the Cavaliers’ 2A East Region semifinal softball game against visiting Luray.

The Cavaliers’ hitters knew Luray pitcher Emily Speaks liked to throw a changeup.

That’s what she threw to Jackson who wasn’t expecting it, took a mighty cut and whiffed.

Jackson was ready for the next pitch, another changeup, and she belted her second towering solo home run of the game over the left field fence.

“She saw me swing hard at the first one so I knew she was going to come back with the second one so I waited on it and I crushed it,” a smiling Jackson said after the Cavaliers advanced with a 6-0 victory Wednesday afternoon. King William (21-2) played host to Page County, which defeated Goochland in the other semi-

final, Monday in the region championship game that also doubled as a state semifinal.

The game originally was scheduled for Friday, but graduation exercises at both schools led to the change of date.

The home runs – the first came in the third inning – were Jackson’s sixth and seventh of the season. It was her third multiple home run game, and she has a batting average above .600 for the year.

Jess Webb belted a two-run home run in the second to put

the Cavaliers on the scoreboard.

It was Webb’s second homer of the year. The first came against Nandua in the conference tournament final.

Jackson, a right-handed hitter, doubled high off the fence in right in the sixth to drive in the final run. Pitcher Kayla Huffman delivered an RBI-single in the fifth.

Patriots sweep through Region 5A North tourney

By Brad Bess Richmond Times-Dispatch

Dave Lawrence/The Local

Patrick Henry’s Paige Mitchell takes off for first base as her fly ball heads over the fence for a grand slam in the Patriots’ 12-0 victory over visiting Stone Bridge Wednesday.

FOUNDATION or MOISTURE

PROBLEMS? Wet Crawl Space?

Cracked Bricks?

Uneven Floors?

First-year head coach Shelby Webb and Patrick Henry didn’t have much of a scouting report on Stone Bridge, their 5A North semifinal opponent, so the Patriots went into Wednesday’s game looking to play the same game they have all season.

That formula was good enough to suffer just one loss during the season and good enough for a ticket to the Group 5A tournament.

Candace Whittemore threw a complete game, Paige Mitchell had five RBIs, and Patrick Henry shut out the Bulldogs 12-0 for a trip to the state tournament.

The Patriots, led by Brianna Woody with 3-for-4 hitting, a double and two RBIs, defeated Briar Woods 6-1 for the 5A North championship Friday.

“We know that every game we come in, we’re playing the same game we’ve played all season,” Webb said. “It’s different uniforms, different opponents, they probably have some different weapons, but we have all the same tools.”

Whittemore struck out 12 in the complete-game shutout. She

Branch. Megan Jenkins had the first hit to open the bottom of the second and was on board for Webb’s blast.

Huffman, a first-team AllMetro selection last year as a sophomore, struck out 14, walked one and gave up three hits. She hurled a perfect game in her last outing Monday.

“My rise ball’s been working.

My changeup’s been working pretty well, but I know if it gets hit I know my team’s going to make the play behind me. No doubt,” Huffman said. “I feel like

allowed just four singles and walked two.

“My curveball and changeup were doing really well this game, so we used that a lot to our advantage,” Whittemore said.

She was able to relax a little on the mound after her team gave her a two-run advantage in the bottom of the first.

Whittemore singled and courtesy runner Hannah Beverley scored when Mitchell recorded her first RBI of the game with a double to rightcenter field. Ashley Samuels then laced a single up the middle, and Mitchell slid under the tag at the plate to put the Patriots ahead 2-0.

After a scoreless second, Patrick Henry added three runs in the third. Whittemore reached on an error, Beverley again ran, and advanced to second with Mitchell’s sacrifice bunt. Samuels doubled in the next at-bat, and Grayson Radcliffe hit a sacrifice fly to right field to score Beverley.

Following a Kendall Thomas walk, Madison Seay hit a tworun double and the Patriots took a 5-0 lead into the fourth.

Patrick Henry scored seven

in the bottom of the fourth.

Mitchell hit a grand slam over the right-center-field wall.

“Teammates did a great job of getting on base, doing what they were supposed to do, and we were all just doing it together.

That’s all that matters,” Mitchell said. “I just saw the pitch coming in, telling myself to keep my head on it and let her rip.”

Thomas added an RBI single after Radcliffe doubled for another run. The Patriots tacked on two unearned runs before the inning was done, and the Patriots held the 12-0 lead they would keep through seven innings.

In the final, Whittemore struck out nine Briar Woods batters and went 2 for 4 at the plate with a RBI.

I have pretty good command of all my pitches right now and I hope it stays that way.”

Co-coach Kay Gammon was almost giddy about how her team is playing.

“We’re hitting the ball really well and everybody is peaking at the same time. Everybody’s anxious to play ball. It’s a great feeling,” she said. “They’re a great bunch of girls. You can see their natural talent. Kayla’s pitching, everybody backs her up with the hitting.”

Gammon and co-coach Barb Barker pitch to their charges every day.

“They see it slow. They see if off the machine. When we

come into games I feel we are totally prepared,” Gammon said. “We’re not the fastest at ages 50 whatever so they call us the 5 mile an hour club.”

The Cavaliers say they have unfinished business. They were knocked out of the playoffs by Goochland in the state quarterfinals.

“They are serious about it.

They love the game. I think they are determined to be successful. They want it bad enough,” Gammon said.

By David Halstead For The Mechanicsville Local HARRISONBURG — Midlothian’s boys track team won the 800-meter relay and had several strong individual performances to take second place at the 4A Track and Field Championship at Harrisonburg High School.

E.C. Glass dominated the overall meet and took first with 97 points. The Trojans finished with 54 points while Phoebus was third with 43 points.

“Nobody is going to beat E.C. Glass,” Midlothian coach Stan Morgan said. “They are probably one of the best teams in the state, 1A through 6A. Ending up in second for us is great.”

Midlothian’s 800 relay team of Randy Hahn, Evan Benjamin, Collin Hahn and Tommy Mulroy took the title in 7:56.91 on Friday night.

Another area school competing in the meet included Glen Allen, which finished fifth overall with 32 points. This was a strong performance for the school in only its fourth year of competition as a program.

“It’s a bittersweet day to see them finish. We lose the kids that started it for us and got us off the ground,” Glen Allen coach Tom Nadeau said.

Senior Stanley Davis led the effort for Glen Allen on Saturday by winning the state title in the 800-meter run with a time of 1:53.11.

“In terms of our athletes, they have worked hard and we couldn’t speak more highly of them,” Nadeau said. “We are definitely going in the right direction.”

On the girls’ side, Nansemond River won the overall competition with 103 points.

Phoebus High School was second with 66 points and E.C.

Glass came in third with 57 points. Hanover finished in fourth with 37.5 points while Glen Allen was seventh with 31 points and J.R. Tucker was eighth with 28 points.

Hanover was led by Leila Haynesworth who won the triple jump with a leap of 37 feet, 4-1/2 inches.

The Thomas Jefferson and John Marshall boys teams were the highest local finishers at the Group 3A track and field championships. The Vikings and Justices finished in a fiveway tie for 15th.

Armstrong’s girls finished in sixth. The Wildcats were led by Kaitlin Scott, who won the 300meter hurdles (45.83). Hopewell finished 11th.

2A state championships RADFORD – Alex Fleckenstein placed second in the 1,600 and 3,200 meters as the Maggie Walker Governor’s School’s distance team helped power the Green Dragons to the VHSL 2A boys’ outdoor track and field championship Saturday.

Maggie Walker scored 106 points. Brunswick was second with 71.

Emma Call won the girls 1,600 for Maggie Walker as the Green Dragons finished second to Brunswick by 16 points. The Bulldogs finished with 127 points, Maggie Walker was second (111) and George Mason finished third (47). King William finished sixth with 37 points.

Raiders win one, lose one in 5A South tourney

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Prince George pitcher Madison Barlow and Atlee pitcher Peyton St. George slugged it out from the pitcher’s mound at Lee-Davis High School Tuesday night. Both were backed by solid defenses making stellar plays that kept runners from reaching, if not threatening, home plate.

As the game wore on, it looked more and more likely that the game would come down to a mistake.

Unfortunately for the Raiders, that mistake came in the bottom of the with bases loaded, two outs, and a full count when a wild pitch shot to the backstop, allowing Barlow to score and send the Royals to the Virginia High School League Group 5A softball tournament with a 1-0 victory.

“In these close games, very competitive games, it usually comes down to a mistake,” said Atlee head coach John Earley.

“We made a mistake and they ended up winning” “It was awesome to see both teams play and hang on to the very end,” said Prince George head coach Pat Waguespack.

“My infield, [Atlee] just kept knocking at them, but they kept on making the plays. [Barlow], she kept them off-stride with the type of pitching style that she throws.”

Barlow held the Raiders to just three hits.

Atlee (15-6) helped the Royals’ (15-9) defense. Most of the time when the Raiders connected on a Barlow pitch, they sent it right to one of the defenders.

“Both of us were hitting the ball,” Earley said. “We didn’t make very good adjustments to their pitcher’s speed. We were reaching for it and not hitting it with power. The ones we hit

As with the semifinal, the game was a tough defensive battle featuring stellar pitching and defense.

Casey Barrett knocked in courtesy runner Amanda Bohanon in the top of the ninth for the game-winning run. St. George made the run stick to allow the Raiders to play another night.

St. George, a freshman, finished with 12 strikeouts, while her Matoaca counterpart, senior Jessica McCabe, finished with 13.

“That was probably the best game we’ve played defensively,” said Atlee catcher Cameron

Hall. “Peyton on the mound was just sticking it. She was hitting her spots. She was doing amazing out there, and then she had a strong defense behind her … a lot of key defensive plays.”

Atlee head coach John Earley said the game was one for the history books.

“That was probably one of the most exciting games I’ve ever been in, other than the 20-inning one with Lee-Davis in the [Capital] District championship. We just kept playing. We had opportunities.

We didn’t execute with bases

loaded and one out. We didn’t execute another time with a runner at third and two outs, but we didn’t give up. We just kept plugging away and plugging away.”

Matoaca head coach Scott Driskill said it was an excellent pitchers’ duel – one that marks the passing of the torch from one generation of players to another.

“We had two studs going,” Driskill said. “One stud going out and one stud coming in – the freshman for Atlee and Jessica for me. You saw the future coming. [St. George] is going to be Jessica a few years from now and mine’s going to

JMU. It was a great game.”

4A South quarterfinal Hanover and Grafton slugged it out for 10 innings, but the Clippers eventually wore down the Hawks with a 3-2 victory in 10 innings.

The game was tied 1-1 at the end of regulation. Grafton scored a run to go ahead in the eighth, but the Hawks responded with another in the bottom of the inning to keep their season alive for two more innings.

Hanover pitcher Kiandra Mitchum went 3 for 4 and struck out 11. Haley Gilbert was 3 for 5 for Hanover. Hannah Olson led Grafton by going 2 for 4 with two runs scored.

Raiders’ boys downed by Western Albemarle

By Robert Edmonds Charlottesville Daily Progress The formula for Western Albemarle’ High Schools boys’ lacrosse team was a bit different than it has been in recent competition on Tuesday night, but the Warriors found a similar result with an 8-4 victory over Atlee in their Class 5A South Zone semifinal contest in Crozet.

“Atlee is an athletic team and they were not going to quit on us,” Western coach Alex Whitten said. “They were a hustle team for sure and they showed that and proved that today. They kind of kept us in check but I think our guys played really, really hard. We were able to kind of gas them out in the second half and it worked out really well for us.”

When play got underway in the first quarter, the Warriors wasted little time finding the back of the net as sophomore Carter Elliot scored to give his team a quick 1-0 advantage just over a minute into the action.

The Raiders looked to respond to the opening score by Western with several opportunities on their offensive attack, but Warriors keeper Carson Franklin held strong between the pipes to deny the opposing Atlee attackers.

A goal later in the frame

by Nic Crissey extended the Western advantage, and Elliott’s second score midway through the second quarter put the Warriors up 3-0. Western maintained the three-goal lead into intermission despite several close calls provided by the Atlee offense.

The Warriors’ senior keeper proved to be a huge difference maker for Western in the first half, stopping several Atlee shots and keeping the Raiders from building any offensive momentum.

“He [Franklin] is probably the best keeper in the state of Virginia,” Whitten said. “He is just phenomenal.”

Finally, as play resumed in the third quarter, Atlee managed to score when Alex Jones

Atlee girls lose close contest in region lacrosse semi

By Doug Doughty Roanoke Times SALEM — Salem High School girls’ lacrosse coach Maggi Pace took the Spartans to the state quarterfinals with a senior-led team in 2013 and may have wondered what approach would work best this year.

It looks like she didn’t change a thing.

Seniors Sika Agblevor, Hannah Giorno and Morgan Leeson combined for eight goals Tuesday as Salem defeated visiting Atlee 11-9.

The Spartans (14-2) will play host to Western Albemarle in the South Zone championship at 6 p.m. Thursday. Both teams will advance to the state quarterfinals.

“We lost three of our top five goal scorers from a year ago,” Pace said. “For these girls to get this far, it speaks volumes about what they’ve done.”

Atlee (14-3) had a club team before moving up to Virginia High School League status.

“We actually had no clue what to expect from this team,” said Giorno, who had four goals and two assists, as did Agblevor. “We were all kind of nervous.”

Atlee scored the first goal of the game and led 3-1 midway through the first half. Salem seemed to take control at 7-5

RAIDERS Continued from pg. 47

continued his stellar play in goal for Western.

“The score definitely helped the intensity,” Atlee senior Daniel Glymph said. “We were kind of frustrated with not being able to get anything in early in the game. They definitely had really good goalkeeping, but

early in the second half, but the Raiders came back to force a 7-7 tie with 15:59 left.

Leeson’s goal with 13:14 left restored a Salem lead that the Spartans would not relinquish.

“We came pretty far,” said coach John Mackay, speaking both literally and figuratively.

“It was the longest ride we’ve ever had, but they gave us a nice bus.”

After Salem had taken its biggest lead at 11-8, a goal by Atlee’s Haley Anna made it a two-goal game with 3:21 left.

The Raiders had several looks

after that, but Salem junior goalie Emma Blair had critical saves with 3:02 and 1:31 remaining.

“It was the most stressful two minutes of my life,” said Blair, who finished with 15 saves. “Starting off the game down 3-1, we knew we were a better team than that. It was just a matter of getting our mojo back.”

Agblevor had four goals and two assists. Leeson had two and two, and Giorno had two and one.

“Earlier in the season, I actu-

ally wasn’t scoring many goals,” Agblevor said. “Here lately, I’ve been putting them in. I don’t know what’s changed. I knew I had the potential.”

Agblevor is going to Tulane next year, but the Green Wave does not have a women’s lacrosse team. She may play club lacrosse, also a possibility for Giorno at Virginia Tech.

“We only have four seniors; we’re actually mostly juniors,” Giorno said. “It’s kind of bittersweet, this being our last time playing for Salem.”

Salem is ranked fifth in the

luckily we got that one in and it helped with our momentum a little bit.”

At the 4:45 mark in the third, Dylan Curry broke the secondhalf silence for Western’s offense when he scored on a bounce shot that hit the crossbar and went into the net.

“We said at halftime, ‘The first guy that shoots a high bouncer is going to score,’ and Dylan [Curry] shot a

high bouncer and it went in,” Whitten said.

The shot proved to be monumental for Western as the team went on to score three consecutive goals from that point while building a 6-1 advantage. The final score during the stretch came with seven minutes remaining in regulation as Justin Haws scored unassisted while the Warriors were in a man-down situation.

Atlee managed to score three times during the final stanza but could not overcome the deficit. The loss ends a solid season for the upstart Raiders lacrosse program which is still in its’ early stages.

“Coming from just two years ago, I can definitely see the improvement and there is definitely a lot more to come,” Glymph said. “I feel like we [the seniors] got a tradition started

state, as opposed to Atlee, which was eighth. The Raiders got three goals apiece from Emily Smith and Sara Hatch.

“For this to be their first varsity year is unbelievable,” Pace said. “With 30 seconds left, I turned to [assistant] Bob [Yates] and said, ‘This game is not over.’ ”
