ast year, at 37 years old, Beth Oliver noticed a mass in her breast. After a trip to the doctor, a mammogram and an ultrasound, she said she was told that the mass wasn’t cause for concern. “They thought everything was fine — just dense breast tissue and was nothing to be alarmed about,” Oliver said. But the lump remained and began to grow.
Other symptoms started appearing. “I went back to my doctor, she sent me back for another mammogram. Otherwise, I would be in a lot of trouble,” Oliver said. “It had grown by leaps and bounds.” On June 5, Oliver learned what had been lurking beneath her skin — rapidly growing stage three, grade three invasive ductal carcinoma. Right away, she started an aggressive regimen of chemotherapy — six rounds in 18 weeks – which will be followed by a double mastectomy. After that, she’ll continue treatment targeted to block HER2 proteins found in her cancer, which make it not only fastgrowing but more likely to return. “I have a gene that’s kind of dangerous and makes it prone to come back,” Oliver said. “If they don’t treat it with intense chemotherapy, I see BATTLE, pg. 4 Photo courtesy of Beth Oliver

Pastor writes book with goal of reaching the unchurched Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com
T
he mental image of Christians, held by the unchurched, prevents them from giving church a try, according to a new book by Jeffery Warren Scott, Ph.D., religion scholar and pastor. “The unchurched picture believers to be like the characters in the iconic Grant Wood painting ‘American Gothic.” They are strict, humorless, unchanging, judgmental, selfabsorbed and irrelevant,” Scott said. “Reaching the unchurched requires replacing this mental image with a more positive
one. Churches that demonstrate encouragement, joy and compassion in their community are more likely to attract and reach the unchuched.” Scott has a Ph.D. in religion from Baylor University, has served as senior pastor for over 30 years, and has published several dozen articles on issues relating to the church and ministry. He is senior pastor of Northside Baptist Church in Mechanicsville. Scott said “American Gothic Church: Changing the Way People See the Church” is available in soft cover and e-book formats at Amazon, Barnes and Noble and other online booksellers.

can get it again easily.” Right now, Oliver said she is exhausted. For two weeks after her chemotherapy treatments, getting up and down from the couch is a challenge because of intense fatigue, and her appetite is erased. Her weight has plummeted, and her hair is gone. “The third week, I sort of bounce back. I have more energy, I can eat, I can go out and feel better,” Oliver said. Oliver said she is focusing on the end of the intense treatments and her surgery. And, despite the troubles of chemotherapy, she described the intense, targeted treatment as “awesome.” “Once I get through this first four months and I can get through to the surgery, which will be in November or December, I’ll be good to go, and hopefully cancer-free. I think I will be — no, I know I will be. My tumor feels like it’s shrinking really fast and my doctors are really positive,” Oliver said. “It’s taken a lot out of me, but you have to kill some good stuff to kill the bad stuff. You kind of have to take the good with the bad.” Oliver remains in good spirits, cracking jokes and accentuating the positive. “My mom and I have a tax business. Luckily, we had just gotten through tax season when this happened. Right now is as good a time as any to

have cancer — if I can say that — because I can rest.” Oliver said she’s been overwhelmed by the support she’s received, not only from her boyfriend Rob McRaney, her mother Ronie Gumbleton and her two sons, Cayson, 16, and Caleb, 12, but also from friends, neighbors, loyal customers and total strangers. Oliver’s brother Cayce Crone accompanies her to chemotherapy and holds her hand through the treatments, she said. She lives with her mother, who takes care of her at home, and her sons provide support. Neighbors provide support, including close friend Andrea Dearing and her husband Tim, who has used his Kona Ice truck to raise money to offset Oliver’s high insurance deductible and mounting medical bills.

On Wednesday, Aug. 13, the Dearings organized a “Help Thy Neighbor” fundraiser at the Milestone community’s clubhouse and pool to support Oliver. In a single evening, the effort pulled in about $2,395, which the Dearings delivered that very night. “Tim’s just a superhero to me,” Oliver said, noting that Dearing had raised more than $600 for her in the weeks leading up to the event by simply placing a donation bucket out when he brought his truck to neighborhood swim meets. “My neighborhood rocks,” Oliver said of Milestone. “I’ve lived here for 14 years. We moved here for the community, really. The schools are great and the people are great, but I never thought it would be this great.” From the Dearings to a group of gal pals from the cul-
de-sac who get together for a beach trip every summer, the neighborhood has lifted up Oliver, she said, and has passed word along other channels. “A lot of these people who are helping I don’t even know,” Oliver said. “I can’t believe people are doing prayer chains and lifting me up in their churches who don’t even know me. It just blows me away.” Oliver said that the swell of support has given her something else to focus on as she endures treatment. “My heart is . . . I don’t know what to say. I am filled with love for everyone, and I am so thankful. This journey has been so eye-opening,” Oliver said. “I have another reason to live. That is to help people after this, that’s for sure. Next year, I’ll be out there helping people, and I can’t wait.”

Staff Report news@mechlocal.com A Midlothian man has been arrested and charged with reckless driving in connection with a Tuesday afternoon crash on U.S. 1 that claimed the life of Floyd F. Robinson Jr., 41, of the 6000 block of Jericho Road in Caroline County. According to Lt. Chris R. Whitley of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office, Walter D. Potter, 63, of the 11900 block of Fairlington Lane is lodged in the Pamunkey Regional Jail on the charge, a Class 1 misdemeanor. Robinson died from injuries sustained in a multi-vehicle wreck that took place around 2:15 POTTER p.m. in the 11400 block of Washington Highway. He was driving a 2004 Honda Civic with two children, ages 6 and 11, as passengers. They were ejected from the vehicle. The children also were taken to the hospital with serious injuries.
Whitley said the preliminary investigation indicates that Robinson’s vehicle was lawfully stopped in the left southbound lane of U.S. 1 in order to make a left turn into a business when he was struck in the rear by a 1998 Ford van that was traveling in the same lane. This caused Robinson’s vehicle to spin into the northbound lane at which time all occupants, who were not wearing seatbelts, were ejected from the vehicle onto the northbound side of the roadway. In an effort to avoid the crash, a third vehicle — a 2013 Ford Fusion — traveling northbound on U.S. 1 swerved and struck Robinson’s vehicle. This caused a fourth vehicle — 2007 GMC SUV — to swerve to avoid hitting the 2013 Ford Fusion, which then struck Robinson who was lying in the roadway. Both drivers reported minor injuries but were not transported to a hospital. No other injuries were reported. Investigators request that anyone who may have additional information about this crash contact the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office at 804-365-6140. The investigation is ongoing and no further details are being released.

OPINION | The Local Views
The subtle art of communication
From the editor
Depression took from us a comedic genius Depression claimed the life last week of a national treasure when comedian/actor Robin Williams took his own life. When the alerts started popping up on the iPhone that Robin Williams was dead at 63, it was that kicked in the gut feeling. What?! How did that happen? His history of addiction was no secret — especially to those of us who remember when he stormed onto the scene as Mork from Ork in the late 1970s. Williams, you will recall, had been with John Belushi when that great talent ending up fatally falling victim to his own addiction demons. Williams’ creativity was so renowned that many directors and producers allowed him to “go with the flow” rather than follow the scripted word. He was a genius — to be that funny one has to be intelligent. Anyone who really knows me is well aware that I love the works of Mel Brooks. Again, he is a genius to be that humorous. Comedy aside, William, sadly, battled an illness too often dismissed by those who don’t understand. It is real. It is crippling. It is deadly. Years ago, a co-worker often shared his struggles with depression in his weekly editorial column. His straightforward approach prompted a number of readers to reach out to him when they acknowledged the signs and symptoms he knew were part of his life — for the remainder of his life. The tributes were pouring in last Tuesday and print and broadcast media shared stories from those who had worked with him, as well as reminding us in various television and movie clips of the versatile performer. Williams’ image was the first item I noticed when I retrieved the Richmond Times-Dispatch that morning. Later that day, the cause of death was confirmed: He had taken his own life by using a belt to hang himself. Such a tragedy. Such a loss. Maybe — just maybe — someone will realize that the sense of despair is more than just a bad day. We’ve lost an American icon to a disease he could not conquer. His talent will live on through the extensive and varied roles he portrayed. For this product of his generation, Mork lives on in a special place. Melody Kinser

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist The perils of being a senior citizen and raising young children would compile a list that would take weeks to list. Of course, there are the obvious physical limitations, lack of patience and incessant urges to take a nap, but it’s the more subtle challenges that require the more savvy. My friends tell me the experience of raising young children at an old age will either keep you young or kill you. Others tell me what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. On some days, I have trouble believing either of the tried and true
old sayings are actually tried or true. But, the good outweighs the bad and being a mature parent supplies days filled with unexpected joy, enormous inspiration and a life that is anything but routine. It means keeping up with things you might otherwise ignore. For example, my son plays something called Minecraft. After months, I finally know enough to understand the concept, and recognize the benefits of the game. I still have no idea how to play a game that provides endless hours of entertainment for my children. I’ve also learned another language, sort of, from my children. Texting is something that evolved from Japan.
Now, all of us know the basics — lol, hru, imo. But, who knew there is a world of catchy acronyms for just about anything you can imagine. The Oxford Dictionary has even added a few of the most used abbreviations to their list of accepted words, and included them in their latest edition. But, I’ve learned a few that won’t make that distinguished volume, thanks to a younger generation that resides at my house. For example, describing the driver who just cut me off in the merge lane, you might say WAJ — what a jerk. And here’s one they didn’t want me to know. When your mother or father see SUBTLE, pg. 8

Resident: county needs to act to address sludge dumping Citizens of Beaverdam were taken by surprise a couple of weeks ago to learn that a special permit to dump industrial sludge in our neighborhood was under consideration. An article appeared in the Aug. 3, 2014, edition of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, with the headline “Industrial sludge could be headed for farmland in Hanover, Goochland.” Industrial waste can contain heavy metals such as arsenic, lead and mercury that have been linked to serious health problems. This is not regular manure from mucking out a horse stall. It is not the same sludge from human waste that has been used for years. Industrial sludge can be potentially dangerous because the state-required tests cannot determine the exact contents. One state official is quoted as saying, “We don’t even know what’s in there.” And that’s exactly the problem. Since the story broke in the Richmond newspaper, citizens have started to do some digging and asking some questions of our Beaverdam representative on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, other elected officials and county staff. Bucky Stanley, supervisor from the Beaverdam District, recently told an inquiring citizen that he had no say-so in the matter by claiming that industrial sludge is allowed under state regulations and that it is perfectly safe.
Likewise, The Mechanicsville Local reports that Mike Flagg, the head of Public Works, recently requested the permit under consideration from Virginia Department of Environmental Quality in order to study it in-depth. The obvious question is did Mr. Flagg make his request under citizen pressure after the story appeared in the newspaper because here’s the hypocrisy in all of this. Hanover Public Works, the Beaverdam supervisor and others are attempting to establish plausible deniability that they didn’t know or can’t do anything about it because their hands are tied. The paperwork for the proposed permit is dated 2013, so someone knew or should have known that this was in the works. see LETTERS, pg. 8

LETTERS Continued from pg. 6
Our county bureaucrats, including County Administrator Rhu Harris, do not get a pass on this by claiming they just learned about it the newspaper. If they are that clueless, then their competence is in question and everybody involved should be fired. If they knew about it and sat on this information until it hit the press, then they concealed this information from every citizen in Hanover County. Who knew and when did they know? Somehow the folks in Goochland County knew and have initiated strong action against industrial sludge coming into their county. Is it reasonable to believe that Hanover was totally out of the loop while a county onefifth the size of Hanover has been pro-active on this issue? More hypocrisy: The application for industrial sludge

guage, or anything else trendy or just breaking. Sometimes, the gap between my generation and the one I’m raising appears to be widening, but the process mostly produces VBS — very big smiles. The culture and generation differences more often result in a language-based draw. For example, I’m not exactly sure what constitutes a creeper, and they have no idea what
Reynolds Wrap is. It’s a process and peace accompanies the journey, but keeping up with young kids requires constant attention, and sometimes my out of date terms or thoughts are met with RMEs — rolling my eyes. And, my children would tell you that trying to keep their dad current is a CWOT — complete waste of time. TAFN — that’s all for now.
is not from a farmer out in rural Hanover who wants to make ends meet by using biosolids instead of fertilizer. The applicant is Synagro, a national firm, representing at least three companies that we know of: Smithfield Foods (now owned by the Chinese), Tyson’s poultry plant and Rock-Tenn paper mill in West Point. These companies are paying Synagro to find a dumping ground for their waste products, some of which may be highly toxic. The ultimate hypocrisy: For several years, Hanover officials have been working on a proposal to tax citizens for stormwater run-off pollution (fondly called the rain tax) by invoking regulations under the Clean Water Act and Save the Bay. So, if the rain that falls on my roof in Beaverdam is a source of pollution, what do you call industrial waste being spread all around? Most residents still use shallow wells. While contamination
of drinking water is the major problem, anything applied on the ground can be spread by the wind, which creates a whole new health issue. That’s why all Hanoverians should care about this recent development in waste management. Once the first application for industrial sludge is approved, it will not stop in Beaverdam. This is potentially a big problem for anybody who still uses a shallow well and that includes much of Hanover County. How much longer before we are forced off our wells because of odors, discoloration and contamination? If I read the language in the permit from Synagro correctly, the permittee (that would be Synagro, acting on behalf of Tyson’s, Smithfield and RockTenn) is responsible for selfmonitoring and compliance and sending the information to Department of Environment Quality. This is a classic example of “The fox guarding the chicken house.” Even with a modicum of oversight by DEQ, do you really trust another government agency to inspect and certify every load of industrial waste at source point (Tyson’s, Smithfield and Rock-Tenn) and certify its safety? While the present issue is about the dangers of industrial sludge in remote Western Hanover, it will be something else next month in another neighborhood. It is “Government for Sale.” This is no different than “big box”
stores, the late night movie theater, government-backed bonds, unnecessary highway projects and scores of other “Pay to Play” transactions. We may soon witness an effort at damage control by Mr. Stanley, our state representatives and county management in the form of a BOS resolution or a town hall meeting to explain away this problem. A resolution is a sham and has no force of law. The deal has been struck and everything from now on will be “for show.” Just like the excuse of “my hands are tied,” we will see Part 2 of the hypocrisy played out — “I really, really, really tried.” Don’t be fooled by the spin.

With unfettered growth of animal agriculture and ineffective discharge regulations, it will happen again in our own state. The problem has become pervasive.

During Vacation Bible School (VBS) week, the children who participated brought in over 100 cans of food to share with the needy through the Loaves and Fishes food ministry of Northside Baptist Church in Mechanicsville. Dr. Jeff Scott, senior pastor, said, “Helping instill in the minds of boys and girls values like compassion and service is one of the many ways VBS helps to build strong children.” Tyler Talloss, left, proves that Vacation Bible School offers many opportunities to demonstrate and enhance your creative side. Recreation at VBS is lots of fun, especially for the fashion-forward like Laura Kelly.

Founded in August 2012, Mechanicsville’s American Heritage Girls Troop VA1736 was named for local citizen Patrick Henry, born in Hanover County in 1736. “Service is a primary component of AHG’s values to incorporate faith in the development of integrity, character and leadership skills,” said Patti Garibay, national executive director and founder of American Heritage Girls. “Real experience serving others gives girls the opportunity to grow in their faith and discover their God-given purpose.” Service is one facet of the poison drinking water supplies. Organic matter feeds microorganisms that deplete oxygen and kill fish. Effective regulations to limit dumping of animal waste into water supplies have been blocked by the meat industry. Fortunately, every one of us has the power to stop this outrage three times a day by saying “no” to polluting meat and dairy products. Our local supermarket offers ample alternatives. Entering

government-backed bonds, unnecessary highway projects and scores of other “Pay to Play” transactions. Nobody in policy levels of government cares about anything except money and power. There is no plausible deniability on this issue by any member of the Hanover Board of Supervisors or Hanover County Public Works. The fact that a draft application exists in Hanover County records means “somebody knew or should have known.” In fact, our neighbors in Goochland County have already jumped on this issue with the Department of Environmental Quality. Most households in Hanover County still use wells and septic systems. The Environmental Protection Agency now claims that water in your ditch needs to be regulated. Don’t think you can live peacefully in rural Hanover much longer? How much longer before we are forced off our wells because of odors, discoloration and contamination? Think about water control. I also urge you to ask your elected representative (especially at the state level). Have you ever taken a campaign contribution from Synagro or the companies involved: Tyson’s, Smithfield Foods and Rock-Tenn? Have you ever taken a campaign contribution from a PAC (Political Action Committee) that received donations from Synagro or the companies listed? One more thing: Have you ever wondered what happens to all those haz-mat (hazardous materials) boxes hanging on the walls of your doctor’s office of in hospital rooms?

Writer: pastors need to step up Ninety percent of America’s pastors are not addressing any of the salient issues affecting Christian people’s political or societal lives should surprise no one — especially those informed about these matters (source: Barns study). It has been decades since even a sizeable minority of pastors have bothered to educate and inform their congregations as to the Biblical principles relating to America’s political, cultural and societal lives. I confess: this statistic caught me off-guard. So, we can forever dismiss ignorance as justification for pastors remaining silent. Now, all of the church mem-
bers out there who have been forgiving of their ministers for not speaking out on the issues by saying things like, “He really doesn’t understand what’s going on,” need to re-evaluate their leniency — if they are intellectually honest, that is — and if they truly care about the future of their country. Church member, admit it: That pastor of yours who refuses to speak out on the issues knows the Bible speaks to these issues, and he is deliberately refusing to teach those Biblical principles to you and your family. So, we are not dealing with ignorant pastors; we are dealing with deliberately disobedient pastors. They are purposely choosing to remain silent.

Cyclists and pedestrians The discussion regarding cyclists and pedestrians on Hanover County roads fails to include two points: a few discourteous individuals do not represent all participants and the roads are not meant for, or exclusively paid for, by automobiles. A cyclist or pedestrian that does not act appropriately on
the road does not indicate that all cyclists and pedestrians are mean-spirited. What it does indicate is that just like the few drivers that obstruct the left lane on Interstate 295 and the few people that block the aisle at the grocery store, there are those in every population segment that are much more inconsiderate than the rest of us. In the groups that I ride with, we are adamant about providing passing space when automobiles come up behind us, and admonish participants that are discourteous to drivers. Fuel taxes and licensing fees do not cover all of the costs for roads. A substantial amount is paid for from local, state and federal taxes that are generated from the taxes that we all pay. Thus, it is no more correct to indicate that automobiles have a greater right to the roads than to say that more affluent people who pay a larger share of income, property and sales taxes, have of a greater right to the road than the rest of us.
Nor does it make sense to add bureaucracy by licensing bicycles to produce an insignificant amount of revenue than it would to make all residents that use county and city parks purchase a pass to pay for the wear and tear on the swing sets and benches. Bicycle and pedestrian traffic do not impact the road surface the same way that automobiles do. The roads are public areas and we all have a right to use these resources. Drivers, cyclists and pedestrians alike must be courteous, considerate and conscientious of all others that share the road. Mike Casey Mechanicsville
apropos. When I was growing up in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, better known as Amish Country, we often would drive on country roads and would encounter horse-drawn buggies or farm equipment traveling to and fro. When positioned in our family car behind them there was no choice but to follow behind and wait for an opportunity to safely pass. The last thing we wanted to do was startle a horse and cause a catastrophe for an Amish family going about their choice of transportation. The farm equipment was a different challenge, but, nonetheless, this was an individual’s choice of occupation and this is a necessary tool that is needed to move from field to field.

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Spending a summer evening with friends and neighbors is one of life’s simple seasonal pleasures. When the focus of that community gathering is a friend in need, it’s even more meaningful. Last week, a group of Milestone residents gathered to help one of their own as they held a fundraiser in their neighborhood. Beth Oliver recently was diagnosed with aggressive breast cancer and is undergoing intense medical treatments for the disease. And the bills aren’t going away. Tim Dearing of Kona Ice and his wife Andrea decided to do something to help their good friend and neighbor when they learned she was suffering

the absence of the latest SOL scores. “The secondary reason is to highlight the enrichment data other than SOLs that paint a picture of success for Hanover County, as well as opportunities,” Gill said. Grief presented results from the latex PALS (Phonological Awareness Literacy Screening) tests given to all Hanover kindergarten and first grade students. The test evaluates reading skills and identifies students who need assistance in that area. Students who are identified as having difficulties are tested in second and third grades under PALS. “This past year, district-wide, we identified 216 students in the fall of 2013 and roughly the same in the spring,” Greif said. “That’s a very small amount of students when you consider our population of K-3 at our all of
from cancer. They planned a community event at the Milestone Clubhouse to raise money for Beth’s enormous medical bills. As a single mother, Dearing knew his friend, a single mother, was facing financial challenges, including a $6,000 annual deductible for her care. Andrea and Tim, who have known Beth and her family for about 10 years, learned of her illness two months ago. “We met her the first weekend we moved in here,” Dearing said. “She’s just a good person and we saw that immediately.” Beth lives with her two sons, Jason and Caleb, and her mother Ronie Gumbleton. When the Dearings learned about Beth’s illness, they immediately began planning last week’s event. “My wife and I were sit-
ting having dinner one night, and I said, ‘Why don’t we put on an annual event to help somebody and give them 100 percent of the proceeds?’ ” Dearing said. He was familiar with community fundraisers through his business. “Kona Ice participates in many fundraising efforts for nonprofits throughout the area.” Andrea was instrumental in the planning and logistics of the event for her good friend. The couple also enlisted the help of local Papa John’s owner Matt Saunders, who provided the pizza and hot dogs. Half of those proceeds also went into the fund. “Matt was 100 percent behind our efforts to help Beth,” Dearing said.
that the school board directed the division to “convene a work group to study boundary attendance zones and school capacities: including any program related ideas such as, but not limited to, a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Center. Wilson also said the group’s work will include a study determining whether the Hanover High School Career and Technical Center is providing the correct course offerings for the students it serves. Wilson also tasked the committee with studying the possibility of future population growth, necessitating the need for additional schools and readjustments in boundary lines. Myers listed other items on the committee’s to-do list, including the study of possible regional career and technical training made possible

our schools.” Statistics regarding students taking world language and Algebra I classes in middle school also were presented, a good indicator of class rigor at those levels. Greif said about two-thirds of the students who complete a language or advanced math class in middle school go on to obtain advanced graduation degrees. “Fifty percent of students in middle school taking a foreign language or Carnegie Unit math credit earned an A or a B,” Greif said. “Not only are they engaging in the rigor, but they are being successful.” Regarding what class choices are selecting at the high school level, Greif said Advanced Placement (AP) classes are on the rise. Students who complete AP classes receive college credit only when they complete a test given at the end of the course. Charges for the test are usually the student’s responsibil-
ity, but options are available for those who cannot afford the end of class testing. The number of students taking the test is decreasing. “We have seen a reduction in the number of students who have taken the tests in the last year countywide. We’ll be exploring some of the reasons for that as a division going forward,” Greif said. “The total number of kids in the classes taking the test dropped about 20 percent,” said Norman Sulser, Cold Harbor representative on the HCSB. “Of the total students who sat in the classroom, a small percent actually earned college credit.” Superintendent Jamelle Wilson told the board there is help available for students who cannot afford the costs of the tests, but identifying them is not always easy. Greif, former principal at Atlee High School, said students who express that need for financial assistance would be accommodated.
“The challenge is identifying which students need that assistance,” Greif said. “It’s not something some high school students wish to disclose at the age of 16 or 17.” International Baccalaureate (IB) enrollment varies from year to year. “Overall ,our enrollment numbers have been fairly steady,” Greif said. The numbers are encouraging in other areas like graduation rates for disabled students, and the overall graduation rate for all county students. Sulser said he was pleased with some of the results presented at last week’s meeting. In reviewing the academic achievements report covering the past year (IB, AP, Dual Enrollment, Advanced degree, etc.) Sulser noted that “our high graduation rate of 96 percent is one of the best in the Commonwealth of Virginia.” Greif said Part Two of the academic achievements report would be presented next month.

The group is scheduled to meet once a month leading up to its final report.

The focus of this year’s “Help thy Neighborâ€? event was Beth, who could not attend the ceremony but sent her well wishes in the form of her son and her mother. She did get a special Kona Ice delivered by her mother. At a time when most foods are not palatable due to the chemotherapy, the cold Kona really delivered. “You won’t find a person in better spirits than Beth. She’s tough as nails. Beth said she was going to make getting a Kona a daily routine because it really tasted good to her,â€? Dearing said. Dearing also walked away with a new appreciation for the kindness of strangers who are willing to help. “I noticed someone was following my truck on the way to my neighborhood. A man in a truck approached me as I got out in my driveway and handed me $20 and said ‘Put this in the fund,’ â€? he said. Dearing said everyone from the mailman to kids in the neighborhood gave what they could to assist Beth. The Dearings’ motivation for organizing the event comes from the heart. “This is someone who lives in our community. This is someone we need to help. I’m just paying it forward,â€? he said. And the response from a community that truly cares ‌ Dearing described that as “awesome with capital letters.â€? “The community came together. We raised $2,395 and took it to her that night. It was tears of joy from everybody. We couldn’t have been happier.â€? Dearing is already thinking about next year’s event. “We’d like to expand to include close neighborhoods like AshCreek and King’s Charter. There’s always going to come a time when someone needs that kind of help,â€? he said.

Some chose horsepower and others chose horse power. Yes, sometimes it caused me to be more patient and — although I do not use the road in the same manner they do — I needed to respect their method and, in return, they appreciated my patience. Translate this to decades of living in rural Hanover County during my adolescence. There are no longer horse and buggies but there are ample numbers of farm equipment, bicycles, runners, cars and a newer mode of transportation, the Vespa, using our roadways. Realizing I may not choose to travel like each of these individuals, I respect that they are on a public roadway and deserve to be there just as much as I in my multi-ton SUV (sport utility vehicle). Since I am bigger than all except the farming combine, I give them space and pass when it is safe. In many cases, the bicyclist will give me a hand signal that it is safe to pass before I can see ahead of them and then wave as I go by, same goes for the farm equipment. By exercising this patience and respect for the other person I have never had a bicyclist give me a finger gesture or shout an

I recently completed the Hanover Senior Citizens Police Academy course. I would like to thank Col. David R. Hines, sheriff; Deputy Jim McLaughlin and all the instructors in our classes. Each class was very informative and I learned how our police department works. I especially enjoyed our tours and seeing the SWAT team in action. We are very blessed in Hanover County because of the men and women who take good care of us. I would recommend every senior citizen take this course and stay informed.

unpleasantry. My take home here is that Hanover County will never build bike/runner/walking/farm equipment lanes for individuals trying to stay fit or do their job. The budget just is not there. If both parties give a little respect to the other we can all co-exist and enjoy the roads that everyone has the right to use. Once we realize that no party has more right than the other to use a public roadway the sooner this debate should subside. Tom Maloney Mechanicsville

Resident: festival ‘no go’ I lived in Hanover County for 18 years and moved away for a 10-year period. When I returned, I had a list of events I wanted to revisit. Most went well, such as an event on Brown’s Island and the Lebanese Festival. Some were such a disappointment I will not return to them until they are better run and visiting is pleasurable. On my list of “no go” events is the Tomato Festival. Many people planned to arrive shortly after it opened on Saturday at 9 a.m. Most spent several hours in the vendors’ area and then around 11 a.m. decided to savor the food concessionaires. Our group of four spent $52 for four entrees at $8 and four cups of lemonade at $5. Then we could not find seating together under the tents. It was an expensive meal to be standing around in the open sun eating. We split into twos and managed a bit of shade and ate. The real corker was trying to exit. There were four aisles of cars trying to get into a single exit line. I observed a white van across the field already in the exit line not move an inch for 20 minutes. People were getting out of their cars telling the people wearing “staff ” shirts they had not moved in over an hour. The staffers’ response was they were trying to park incoming cars and had no controlled over those trying to exit. Tempers were flaring and suggestions on how to get cars
moving were becoming heated. Thankfully, someone contacted the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office and three officers on bicycles arrived using their radios to coordinate with other deputies regulating incoming traffic. I saw one festival-goer threatened with arrest if he did not return to his vehicle and get in line to leave. Thankfully, a sergeant and another officer arrived in a golf cart and managed to get traffic control working. Had someone experienced a medical emergency, their only hope of getting to treatment would have been on a golf cart. No ambulance could have gotten to that person on-site with the gridlock that had formed. We were able to exit on the road we’d come in on and were clear of the property in under 10 minutes. The county has made no effort to gain any land in the rear of Pole Green Park, even a weekend easement once a year so people wanting to leave have a new way out. There is some talk of making the park into a public golf course. If this happens, the festival will not be allowed to park cars on the fairways and the situation will get worse. I beg to differ with your recent editorial — it is not worth the wait to be part “of a day no one wants to miss.” My group will miss this day for a long time because of the traffic problem. I can send a donation to Black Creek Volunteer Fire Department and come out dollars ahead and retain some sense of sanity by even thinking of attending another Tomato Festival. William E.

Food must be properly prepared and processed for the correct amount of time. 2. The canner must be accurate and operated correctly (the extension office can test your pressure canner’s gauge to ensure it’s working properly). 3. Directions from a reputable source must be followed (USDA, Virginia Cooperative Extension and the Ball Blue Book). 4. Use an up-to-date method and information. The above information only touches on proper canning techniques.

Democrats submit petition objecting to ID issue at the polls Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com The Hanover Democratic Committee has submitted a petition and letter to the State Board of Elections objecting to the board’s recent ruling that voters may not use an expired driver’s license as a valid photo identification for voting purposes.
New voter photo ID laws took effect in July and will apply in the upcoming November elections. In addition to the State Board of Elections officers, the Hanover Democratic Committee’s letter and petition have been mailed to Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring; the U.S. Justice Department,
Voting Rights Section; the NAACP, Hanover Branch; and the Virginia ACLU. “It is obvious that a voter’s identity does not change when his/her driver’s license expires,” said the letter signed by Gordon Silver, chair of the Hanover Democratic Committee, and by Toni Radler, vice chair. An accompanying petition was
signed by 50 Hanover Democratic Committee members. “We believe that the board’s refusal to accept expired but otherwise valid IDs will disenfranchise several categories of voters including, but not limited to, the elderly, students, the poor and those who have given up driving because of age or illness. Your ruling confirms
our belief that the new Virginia voter ID laws were put in place not to substantiate voter identity at the polls, but to suppress voting altogether,” the letter and petition stated. In a 2-1 ruling, the Elections Board said that a driver’s license that has been expired beyond one year would not be considered valid proof of identity for
voting purposes. “Our problem is not voter fraud … it’s just not an issue in Virginia. Our problem is that people often don’t vote. Instead of trying to overcome that problem, the Virginia General Assembly and the State Board of Elections are throwing up roadblocks that will suppress the vote,” Silver said.

School district announces policy on free/reduced meals Hanover County Public Schools has announced its policy for providing free or reduced price meals for children served under the National School Lunch and/or School Breakfast Programs. This program is operated at each elementary and middle school in Hanover County. Each school and/or central school nutrition office has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by any interested party. High school students interested in applying for the meal credit program at their school must complete a different application available through the school office. Household size and income will be used to determine eligibility for free or reduced price meal benefits. Children from households whose income is at or below the Federal Income Eligibility
Guidelines, listed below, may be eligible for either free or reduced price meals. Children who are members of households receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits (formerly the Food Stamp Program) or who receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) may be automatically eligible for free meals. Children who are homeless, migrant or runaway also may be automatically eligible for free meals. Foster children, who are the legal responsibility of a welfare agency or court, are eligible for free meals regardless of the income of the household with whom they reside.

Applications may be submitted at any time during the school year. The information households provide on the application will be used for determining eligibility and verification of data. Applications may be verified at any time during the school year by school or other program officials. For school officials to determine eligibility for free or reduced price benefits, households receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits (formerly the Food Stamp Program) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) only have to list their child(ren)’s name and SNAP or TANF case number and an adult household member must sign the application. Households that do not list a SNAP or TANF case number, including WIC households, must list the names of all household members, the amount and frequency of the income received by each household member, and the last four digits of the social security number of
the adult household member who signs the application. If the household member does not have a social security number, the household member must indicate that a social security number is not available. The application must be signed by an adult household member in order to be approved. Under the provisions of the free and reduced price meal policy, the director of Food Services and Food Service supervisors will review applications and determine eligibility. An application for free or reduced price meals cannot be approved unless it is complete. Households dissatisfied with the ruling of the eligibility determining official may wish to discuss the decision with the official on an informal basis. Households wishing to make a formal appeal for a hearing on the decision may make a request either verbally or in writing to: David Myers, assistant superintendent for Business and Operations, at 200 Berkley St., Ashland VA 23005; telephone 804-365-4500. Households may apply for free or reduced price meals at any time during the school year. If a household is not eligible now but has a change, such as a decrease in household income, an increase in household size, becomes unemployed
or qualifies for SNAP or TANF, the household should contact the school for an application. Such changes may make the children of the household eligible for benefits if the household’s income falls at or below the Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines. Households that receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits (formerly the Food Stamp Program) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) may not have to complete an application for free or reduced price student meals. School officials will determine eligibility for free meals based on documentation, obtained directly from the Virginia Department of Social Services, that a child is a member of a household currently receiving SNAP or TANF. School officials will notify these households in writing of their eligibility. Households that are notified of their eligibility, but who do not want their children to receive free meals, must contact the school. SNAP and TANF households must complete an application if they are not notified in writing of their automatic eligibility within the first 10 days of the new school year. Information submitted by Linda M. Scarborough, Hanover County Public Schools communications specialist.

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

trying to determine who wrote the message and why. Hixenbaugh and school officials said they were unaware of any other similar incidents at the school. “This is somewhat out of the ordinary for here,” Jones said. About 650 students attend the

RUDACILLE, Glenn Smith Sr. (Rudy) started the game of life on November 13, 1929, and claimed victory on August 14 when he was called by his Heavenly Father to the great sports arena in the sky after a courageous 21month battle with a formidable opponent, RUDACILLE pancreatic cancer. He was preceded in death by his parents, Byrne Smith Rudacille and Pauline Grove Rudacille, and his sister, Peggy Rudacille Chapman. He is survived by his home team and number one fans, including his devoted wife of 58 years, Ann Bryant Rudacille; five loving children,

Melanie Rudacille Norwood (Walt), Allyson Rudacille Stumbo (Brian), Susan Rudacille Lawton (Tim), Glenn Smith Rudacille Jr. (Elizabeth), and James Byrne Rudacille (Wendy); 11 beloved grandchildren, Sarah Norwood Webster, Ryan Norwood, Mark Norwood, Bryson Stumbo, Kelly Lawton Webster, Cary Lawton Russell, Scott Rudacille, Jordan Rudacille, Collin Rudacille, Rachel Rudacille, and Jessica Rudacille; five great grandchildren, Campbell Norwood, Keller Russell, Owen Webster, Noah Rudacille, and Brooklynn Rudacille; and several nieces and nephews. Rudacille grew up in Front Royal. He graduated from Warren County High School and attended RandolphMacon Academy and Randolph-
Macon College until he was drafted by the Marine Corps in 1952. He served as a Marine Sergeant for two years during the Korean conflict and then returned to Randolph-Macon College to earn his undergraduate degree. He later received his master’s degree from Virginia Commonwealth University. With a distinguished 55-year coaching and 36-year teaching career at New Kent, Henry Clay, and Patrick Henry High Schools, and most notably Varina High School, Rudacille will be remembered for his never-ending dedication to countless students and athletes as their mentor, coach, and teacher. He taught health and physical education and driver’s education, and coached basketball, football, baseball, softball, volleyball, track, and tennis. He initi-
ated the track program at Henry Clay and the volleyball program at Varina. More important than keeping a winloss record, Rudacille’s philosophy was emphasizing basic skills and the team concept, which helped young people learn life lessons. Throughout his career, he received numerous awards, some of which include: 2011 dedication of the Varina High School gym floor as “Glenn Rudacille Court”; 2004 inductee into the Varina High School Wall of Fame; 1987 Basketball Coach of the Year; and 1985-86 High School Male Sports Coach of the Year.The family received friends on Sunday, August 17 at Monaghan Funeral Home, 7300 Creighton Parkway, Mechanicsville, VA 23111. Funeral service was held on see OBITUARIES, pg. 34

Jaguars top county teams in season debut Glen Allen dashes hopes of several golfers by capturing Hanover Hawks tourney By Danny Polk for The Mechanicsville Local Ambitions of a state tournament run began for several golfers Tuesday, Aug. 12, as Glen Allen topped Hanover and LeeDavis in the county teams’ season-opener. The Jaguars posted a 159, 11 shots ahead of the second place Hawks in the 9-hole match held at Hunting Hawk Golf Club. Hanover senior Matt Alexander shot an even-par 37, a career best, to tie for the low round of the day with Glen Allen’s Holden Davis. “Pretty much everything was going right today,” Alexander said. “I was hitting every shot pretty flush, chips were good,

Marissa Steen captures Eagle Classic Final-round, bogey-free 6-under-par 66 puts golfer in top spot on money list By Arthur Utley for The Mechanicsville Local Marissa Steen’s twin goals of finishing No. 1 on the Symetra Tour money list and becoming player of the year were within her grasp following the second round of the $100,000 Eagle Classic. Today, as a newly minted three-time winner on tour, Steen is solidly entrenched in the top spot on the money list, up from No. 2, thanks to a finalround, bogey-free 6-under-par 66 Sunday at the Richmond Country Club. Steen’s 54-hole total of 14under 202 was four shots clear of first-day leader Demi Runas, who closed with a 5-under 67 for a 10-under 206 aggregate. Madison Pressel (67-207) was third, and Lauren Doughtie of Suffolk (70-208) wound up
“I knew I was going to have a play a solid round because history on Symetra that somebody goes low on Sunday and comes up from behind and wins. It felt great to put it all together when everything was on the line,” MARISSA STEEN Eagle Classic winner
fourth. It was Doughtie’s best finish of the season. Five players finished 6under. Nicole Vandermade, who shared the 36-hole lead with Steen, slipped to 76-212. Steen picked up the first place check of $15,000, but,

Marissa Steen became solidly entrenched in the top spot in the money list after Sunday’s Eagle Classic at the Richmond Country Club.
more importantly, “It’s huge just to know I’ll be on the LPGA (Ladies Professional Golf Association) Tour full time next year. It’s just a dream come true. It’s what everyone out here is working toward,” Steen said. “To know that is a reality for me is exciting and all the hard work is paying off.” When Steen won for the first time, in Asheville, North Carolina, in April, she was in
the final pairing and shot 3under 69. Sunday at RCC, she started the day tied for the lead and shot the low score of the day. The 66 tied her career low round. “I knew I was going to have to play a solid round because history shows on Symetra that somebody goes low on Sunday and comes up from behind and wins,” Steen said. “It felt great to put it all together when every-
thing was on the line.” Steen opened with three pars then holed a birdie putt at the fourth hole to take the lead for good at 9-under. She followed with birdies at the fifth, eighth and ninth and turned in 4-under 32. She added birdies at the 10th and 13th holes. Pressel, also a winner this year, started the day four strokes off the lead and two groups ahead of Steen’s. Pressel turned
in 32, but Steen was rolling by then. Pressel birdied the 12th and 15th holes to reach 10 under then dropped a shot at 16. Runas, who shot a tournament low, bogey-free 65 in the first round, was bogey-free Sunday as well. She began the finale three strokes behind after shooting 74 in the second round, logged two birdies on the front nine and began the back nine with three consecutive birdies. “You’ve got to keep at it, just try and hit good shots,” Runas said of what became a futile chase. “I actually didn’t look at any of the scoreboards. I accidently glanced at it as we were passing through to 10, and it was like you never know. I do like the back nine and I made three birdies in a row, so I said, ‘Well, maybe, let’s see. But Marissa’s playing great and you can’t take it away from her.’ I gave it a go.” Steen said she will look into playing in the LPGA Tour stop in Portland, Oregon, the last weekend in August, but it isn’t a certainty. She’s been on the road for five weeks in a row and is ready to go home (Ohio) for some rest. The Symetra Tour is taking a couple of weeks off before heading to Kansas for two events. Steen is required to have a fulltime caddie for the LPGA Tour, and she is pondering using one of the Kansas tournaments as a tryout period. How does her third win feel compared to the first two? “It feels just as good. I wasn’t as nervous today because I’ve been there,” Steen said. “It was good to make it happen having my whole family here — to enjoy it with everyone who is close to me.”

Design Public Hearing Thursday, September 25, 2014, 5-7 p.m. Elmont Elementary School Cafeteria 12007 Cedar Lane, Ashland, VA 23005 Find out about the Hanover County Department of Public Works’ proposal to realign Cedar Lane (Route 623) to tie into Route 1 approximately 600 feet north of its current Route 1 tie-in-point. Existing Cedar Lane will remain in place to maintain access to the properties along this stretch of road. This project also includes the closure of the southernmost tie-in-point of Old Telegraph Road to Route 1. The existing one-lane bridge will remain in place, and a cul-de-sac will be constructed on Old Telegraph Road approximately 770 feet southwest of the bridge. New traffic signalization will also be installed at the intersection of realigned Cedar Lane and Route 1 to accommodate the increase in lanes and alignment changes for this intersection. The primary purpose of this project is to improve driver safety through these stretches of VDOT owned and maintained roads. Review the project information which includes the proposed road improvements, project schedule, National Environmental Policy Act documentation in the form of a Categorical Exclusion (CE), and funding information at the public hearing or at the Department of Public Works, County Administration Building, 7516 County Complex Road, at the Hanover County Government Center Complex.
