No sludge for Hanover, at least for now By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local
Jim Ridolphi for The Local
Kyle Winter, deputy director for Water Compliance with the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, defended the use of industrial residuals on Virginia land at last week’s Hanover County Board of Supervisors meeting.
A Hanover County landowner has withdrawn his property from a list of proposed sites where an industrial waste company wants to spread industrial residuals, better known as biosolids. Synagro, a Baltimore-based company, has applied for a permit to spread industrial waste produced at large processors
like Tyson Foods and Smithfield on area farmlands. The Virginia Department of Environmental Quality delayed a decision earlier this summer after a public outcry accompanied that application. Supervisors from New Kent, King William and Goochland counties have sent letters of opposition to the DEQ. Kyle Winter, deputy director for Water Compliance with the
state DEQ, told the Hanover (sludge) on area agricultural County Board of Supervisors fields is a well monitored, closely supervised process. The introduction He explained a detailed perof sludge as a viable mitting process that traces the fertilizer may sit well waste material from its source with state officials to its eventual application on but local residents fields and other tracts of land. had a different take Winter explained the byon the process. product of large production facilities like Smithfield and the industrial residuals program Tyson can be utilized for field that allows the use of biosolids application.
The introduction of sludge as a viable fertilizer may sit well with state officials but local residents had a different take on the process. Speakers from other affected counties joined Hanover citizens as they took advantage of a public comment period following Winter’s presentation to express their concerns. They cited health concerns see SLUDGE, pg. 14
Bond workout and debt restructuring 4K for Cancer ride completed for Lewistown project
Photo submitted by John Cario
Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com The Lewistown Commerce Center Community Development Authority in Hanover County has successfully completed the restructuring of $37.7 million in defaulted bonds. The workout transaction, which was completed Tuesday, Aug. 26, will reduce assessment bond debt on 123 acres
of land just south of the Town of Ashland at the intersection of I-95 and Lewistown Road. The project, known locally as Winding Brook, is anchored by Bass Pro Shops and Country GASKIN Inn & Suites. The debt restructuring was proposed and man-
aged by Common Bond Capital Partners, which specializes in recapitalizing and restarting real estate projects that stalled during the recession due to excessive bond debt. To complete the complex deal,
Stephanie Cario, the daughter of John and Sandy Cario, participated in the 4K for Cancer, which ended on Aug. 9 in San Francisco. She is shown with her bicycle and a copy of The Mechanicsville Local, with the Golden Gate Bridge and some morning fog in the background. Stephanie and 30 other young adults covered over 3,500-plus miles, biking from Baltimore to San Francisco. They stayed at churches, in host homes, at a fire house and camped at some key locations along the way. They raised more than $1 million this year for cancer research. For more information on the 4K for Cancer organization, go to 4kforcancer.org. Stephanie kept a blog of her experience at 4kscario.blogspot.com. Her parents and brother John and friend Lauren traveled to San Francisco and the Napa Valley area to greet her.

OPINION | The Local Views
‘Kelly Tough’ unique in many ways
From the editor
It’s Friday night football and music fills the air Driving by Lee-Davis High School in the days before Hanover County Public Schools opened for the 2014-2015 year brought back fond memories while watching instrument-laden students prepare for that morning’s band practice. You’ve often read here that this writer is a fan and supporter of music programs in our schools. The sound of a marching band fills the air in Mechanicsville on Friday nights during football season. Before moving a couple of years ago (yes, still in the Ville), it was a real treat when my residence was close enough to enjoy the music coming from the L-DHS field. Hanover County is fortunate to have some very talented student musicians. And we have the proof by the many superior ratings they bring home from competitions. While it’s been many years since this former high school band member attempted to perform, it is so gratifying to see today’s youth enjoy the experience that is unique to being part of that select group. Pre-game, half-time shows, parades and, yes, the competitions spotlight just how talented these local kids are. Mediocre best described my “skills” (the word is used loosely). Nonetheless, I had the opportunity to take part in my high school band and those are among some of the best memories from those days in the early 1970s. There’s a kinship, a bond among band members that proved surprising when I was a newcomer my junior year. I guess that’s why I always smile when I see the Lee-Davis band members gathering their instruments or getting ready to go through the steps of their routine on the football field. With school in its second day of the new term, it’s time to head to the stadium for Friday night football and the sounds of the marching bands. Whether it’s Lee-Davis, Patrick Henry, Atlee or Hanover, we’re confident you’ll enjoy the game and the music. Just like Sonny and Cher sang all those years ago, “The beat goes on.” See you at the games. Melody Kinser

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist I met Pat Kelly when he was playing football at the University of Richmond, and established a friendship that endures to this day. As the years progressed, more Kellys arrived in Richmond, and my friendship became more of a family affair that included Ray and Ed. During most of those early conversations, the subject often turned to the youngest Kelly, Jimmy. They described him as the most gifted athlete in a family that had its share of talented and accomplished sportsmen. Like many fans, I marveled at Jim Kelly’s unmistakable on the field style and his willingness to shoot from the hip as he gained national attention at the University of Miami. After a college career, Jim headed to Houston and the USFL, a spot that showcased his ability to throw the football in a wide open offense. And then, there were 14 seasons as a starting quarterback for the Buffalo
Bills, with four agonizing Super Bowl appearances that all came up short for the Pennsylvania native. The Kelly brothers maintained a close-knit relationship while Jim wowed the adoring public with year after year all star performances. I was among the millions who appreciated Kelly’s brand of football, a coal mining toughness than ran through every Kelly I ever met. After he retired, I rarely heard of Jim, but I did know he was the father of a severely disabled child. The irony of a world class athlete coupled with a son who will never walk did not escape me. On a lazy summer Saturday afternoon, I flicked on the TV and the NFL Hall of Fame induction ceremony was on. Jim Kelly was taking the podium as one of the year’s inductees. He thanked his coaches, his family, including his five brothers, fellow players, fans, officials and the NFL. But, he saved his most poignant of recogntions for his son, who sat nearby with Jim’s wife and two daughters.
“Then there is my only son, Hunter. Born on Feb. 14, Valentine’s Day, my birthday. The son I’ve always wanted. I’ve dreamt what every father dreams about, playing catch in the backyard, going fishing, camping, everything that fathers and sons do. But, within four months, my son was diagnosed with a fatal disease called Krabbe leukodystrophy. They told us to take him home, and make him comfortable. And from that day, my wife and I decided to fight this disease. And so, we made it our lifelong commitment to make sure that kids all over the world don’t suffer like my son does. Since the day I was selected, I prayed to God that my son would be here with me today. God has granted me that blessing. It has been written throughout my career that toughness is my trademark. Well, the toughest person I’ve ever met in my life is my hero, my soldier, my son, Hunter. I love you, buddy.” I can’t tell you how much those see KELLY, pg. 8

Carol went to L-DHS and looked at all of the annuals and found from the first class of L-DHS was 1959 and to 1969 included 1,100 students. Carol and Paul contacted a few people from each of the 11 classes that usually organized their class reunions every five years. With a lot of excitement and offers to help plan the event, the “L-DHS ’60s Reunion” had begun.

He explained to Carol that he had the “last Confederate flag that flew over L-DHS in his desk drawer.” He had see L-DHS, pg. 13
Lead and Seed helps empower youth in decisions about drugs and alcohol Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Several adult and youth leaders from Hanover County recently participated in a Lead and Seed training held at Randolph-Macon College and facilitated by Keith Cartwright of the Hanover Cares Coalition. Lead and Seed is a program that encourages and provides the framework for adult leaders in a community to empower youth to make healthy decisions around drugs and alcohol. It teaches the students to plant seeds in the lives of their
peers and hope they will grow into healthy decisions. Eight adults and seven Hanover County students took part in the training. They spent two days learning the steps to developing, implementing and evaluating plans that will reduce and prevent the numbers of students in our community who are using alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.

Marjorie Rose ROSE, Sibyl Marjorie Peatross, 89, beloved mother, grandmother (Mama Rose), sister, and aunt entered the gates of heaven on August 26, 2014. She was welcomed with open arms by ROSE her husband of 62 years, David “Mike” Odell Rose and her mother and father, John Gordon and Sibyl Valentine Peatross, who preceded her in death. She is survived by her devoted daughters and their sons-in-love, Dana Gregory Rose of Radford; Sherri Rose Gretes (George) of Mechanicsville; Debbie Sibyl Rose of King William; and Betty Rose Lennon (Sean) of Midlothian. Marjorie’s adoring grandchildren are Evan David Gregory (Sarah), Andrew Rose Gregory (Casey McIntyre, fiancée), Michael Lloyd Gregory, all of Radford and Brooklyn, New York; Marjorie Betty Jacobs of
Richmond; Celia Rose Jacobs of Hanover; Rachel Lesley Jacobs of Goochland; Matthew Christopher Lennon and David Barth Lennon, both of Midlothian. Marjorie’s loving siblings are Thomas Bernard Peatross (Betty Mann) of Mechanicsville; Janice Gordon Kane of Devon, Pennsylvania; and Barbara Ann Wiggins (Harold), of Ashland. Marjorie was born on February 25, 1925 in Richmond. She graduated from Glen Allen High School in 1942, attended the Pan American Business School, and worked for the Internal Revenue Service before her marriage to Mike in 1948. Their honeymoon was a delightful monthlong, winter cross-country road trip with Mike’s mother, father and brother. This trip was an example of her ability to love and be loved by everyone. Marjorie was a homemaker and often said that her happiest times were as a wife and mother, supporting her husband and raising four daughters in the Ginter Park neighborhood of Richmond. Marjorie spent time each summer at a family river cottage on the Mattaponi River near Walkerton, beginning with her parents and siblings. Later, she prepared amazing meals, taught her own husband and daughters to fish, and played ‘chee-chee’ in the river with her
grandchildren. She loved baking pound cakes and sharing them with her family and friends, once baking seven different recipes for a family taste test. Her most important gifts to others were her generosity, her sense of humor, her storytelling, and her capacity to express joy, love, and compassion to everyone she met. We learned from her the greatest lesson, unconditional love. Marjorie had a remarkable ability to express and act on her unfaltering faith. She served as president of the Richmond Chapter of the Christian Women’s Club. She was devoted to First Baptist Church and the Esther Sunday School Class. Her constant prayer became: “May thy healing power flow through me in my life, day by day.” Marjorie ‘lived’ her faith. Her life leaves us the legacy of her infinite joy and love in our hearts. Visitation took place on Friday, Aug. 29, at the Atlee Chapel - Woody Funeral Home, 9271 Shady Grove Road. A celebration of life service was held on Saturday, Aug. 30 at the First Baptist Church Chapel, Richmond, followed by burial in Forest Lawn Cemetery. Memorial contributions can be made to the First Baptist Church Television Ministry - 2709 Monument Avenue, Richmond, Virginia 23220. see OBITUARIES, pg. 12

CINDY AYERS, MECHANICSVILLE I tried so many diets, weight loss gimmicks and groups in my life, only to regain all of my weight and more, I had become a skeptical cynic, destined to be overweight and unhealthy for life. But just after my birthday in July 2012, at the urging of a friend, I decided to give Zacharias Ganey a try. Now two years later, it’s been the best birthday present I could have given to myself. During the program I learned all I needed about weight management, normal healthy eating and being active. I lost 50 lbs in those first 5-6 months, applying all that I had learned. By July 2013 I had lost 75 lbs, lowered my cholesterol and by Jan 2014 reached my goal of losing 105 lbs! And reversed my fatty liver disease. I am so thankful for the sound medical education from Dr. Zacharias, and support of the members, trainers and ZG staff! I continue to work out at ZG almost 5 days a week. I absolutely love ZG! I’m also feeling my best ever and am skeptical no more!

Two Mechanicsville boys were able to take part in a recent “Surfers Healing” event in Virginia Beach. Surfers Healing is an organization dedicated to raise awareness about autism while giving special needs children a day to remember. They travel all around the coastal U.S. with dozens of surf dates that book up within minutes. Their motto is “One Perfect Day.” Dozens of surfers volunteer from around the world, including Australia and Puerto Rico, gathering together to give special needs children the chance to surf. Each child is paired with a volunteer and a surfer during their designated surf time. Carter Williams, 9, and Eli Barnum, 9, students at Laurel Meadow Elementary School, took to the waves. With a little help from their surf buddies, they were up on the boards and riding waves like a pro. At the end of their session they were each presented with a medal to commemorate their special day. This year, Surfers Healing was able to take out over 400 children during this two-day event. Carter is shown with one of the volunteers.

Stanley contacted the landowner and discussed the situation resulting in the decision to withdraw the Hanover property. Winter said permits are generated by the industry that produces the waste products or the person who distributes it to local landowners. Localities have little control over the process. “Hanover has no control over it if DEQ approves it,” supervisor Wayne Hazzard, South Anna District, said. Davis expressed his views
the reputation or historical record of numerous complaints lodged against Synagro. “We review each permit on its own merit. We may consider the compliance record of the applicant, but we don’t have a certain amount of strikes they get,” Winter said. Elton Wade, Cold Harbor District supervisor, recalled a similar incident with biosolids more than a decade ago in his district. He said the smell almost stopped him in his tracks when he went to investigate the situation. Regulations then required landowners who utilized the material were required to plow it into the soil. “I don’t how well DEQ inspects the sludge,” Wade said. While many citizens voiced concerns over the ongoing and in-use policy that allows the
application of industrial residuals and biosolids, citing concerns regarding well water safety, smell and unknown health hazards. Supervisor Angela KellyWiecek, Chickahominy District, said statewide standards are important but local control also should be a factor in the process. “I’m not happy with any of the options for disposal of this stuff,” she said. “We have to figure out a way of what to do with this stuff.” She conceded the board really doesn’t have a vote on this matter, and public input will go further in solving the problem than local legislation. She also commended Stanley on his personal efforts to solve Hanover’s problem on a neighbor-to-neighbor basis. When it comes to biosolids,
county attorney Sterling Rives said monitoring efforts may not be keeping up with demand. He noted the inadequacy of the number of DEQ staff assigned to compliance and the failure of state funding keeping up with responsibilities. Rives reminded the supervisors of Hanover’s previous problem with biosolids, more than a decade ago. A sludge lagoon in the Hanover Industrial Park overflowed that resulted in a stench that extended all the way to Interstate 95 … and prolonged litigation. “As a result,” Rives said, “the board created a biosolids land application task force.” An application used to require a county permit, but the state assumed those permitting

on state over-reach. “It’s a difficult job on which regulation we want, but — when it’s our community — we like to have the say over the process,” Davis said. He said Hanover’s problem was resolved when Stanley and other neighbors urged the landowner to withdraw his property from the list. “It may seem like a non-issue, but it’s not. Another person could come along tomorrow.” Canova Peterson, Mechanicsville District supervisor, said he had a simple question after hearing residents’ concerns regarding the number of violations issued to the current applicant, Synagro. “How many strikes do you get before you are not allowed to participate in the program?” Peterson asked.

ervpro, a company that provides disaster cleanup, restoration and remediation services, recently honored David E. Butler, owner of Servpro of Hanover, Goochland and Caroline, with the Chairman’S Silver award for outstanding revenue performance.

“A lot of practices have changed over the years,” Rives said. No complaints over land application issues have been filed in Hanover County for at least five years. Local land use authority is something this board supports, Rives indicated, and the issue is annually included on the
board’s legislative agenda. The legislative option might be the only one open to localities when it comes to regulating the use of biosolids on local lands. In 2008, the DEQ assumed total responsibility in issuing permits for Virginia Pollution Abatement (VPA) projects, including biosolid disposal.
reduced when the yellow lights are flashing. Deputies will be actively enforcing this and other related laws relating to school zone and bus safety. For millions of students nationwide, the school day begins and ends with a trip on a school bus. The greatest risk is not riding the bus, but approaching or leaving the bus. Here are some helpful hints for drivers, children and parents: Drivers: When backing out of a driveway or leaving a garage, watch out for children going to the bus stop. Slow down. Watch for children walking in the street, especially if there are no sidewalks in the neighborhood. Slow down. Watch for
children playing and congregating near bus stops. Be alert. Children arriving late for the bus may dart into the street without looking for traffic. Yellow flashing lights indicate that the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. Motorists should slow down and prepare to stop their vehicles. Red flashing lights and extended stop arms indicate that the bus has stopped and that children are getting on or off. Motorists must stop their cars and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop sign is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving before they can start driving again. Drivers are required to stop for a school bus when see SHERIFF, pg. 22

This year’s keynote speaker was Chris McChesney, author of the book, “The 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX),” who offered attendees a formula for executing their most important strategic priorities as business owners.

(Editor’s note: The following was submitted by Col. David R. Hines, sheriff of Hanover County.) The Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office would like to remind all motorists to be alert, slow down, and plan ahead to ensure a safe start to the school year. By adding school buses, motorists, pedestrians and cyclists to the daily commute, motorists are urged to drive safely and allow for extra travel time. The HCSO will maintain high visibility on all of the roadways, particularly in neighborhoods and in school zones, to ensure the safety of children being transported to and from school.

Members of the old John Marshall High School band, shown in 1958, have reunited as the John Marshall Alumni Band. On Thursday, Sept. 11, the alumni band will perform in a patriotic concert at the Walnut Grove Baptist Church to raise money for Mechanicsville Churches Emergency Functions (MCEF).
Patriotic concert set Sept. 11 A patriotic concert set for 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 11, at the Walnut Grove Baptist Church at 7046 Cold Harbor Road in Mechanicsville will honor the military, stir up old memories with Big Band music, and, most importantly, collect money and food to help local people in need. The John Marshall Alumni Band, comprised of men who served as cadets in the old John Marshall High School in Richmond in the 1950s and ’60s, will play a two-hour show with a 15-minute intermission, according to Chuck Hechler, a member of the band who also serves on the board of the Mechanicsville Churches Emergency Functions (MCEF). Hechler said this year’s concert will be the third annual Sept. 11 concert the band has played at Walnut Grove Baptist, and that MCEF hopes to expand attendance to collect more
money and food for MCEF. In previous years, the concert, advertised simply by fliers and word of mouth, has collected more than two barrels of food. MCEF’s food pantry serves more than 200 families per month in the Mechanicsville area, Hechler noted. This year, admission will be one non-perishable food item for the MCEF food pantry and a $2 donation to the cause. The 30-piece band puts on a big show, Hechler said. Alongside toe-tapping Big Band hits, the concert also will include solemn remembrances of military men and women. “We always have a segment where we honor our military — our men and women in uniform, our veterans and those who didn’t come home,” Hechler said. “We play all the military branch songs, and will have the Marine Honor Guard participating with us.”

American Legion Post 175 hosts outreach forum By Steve Goetsch for The Mechanicsville Local The Richmond VA Medical Center’s Rural Health Team attended a veteran outreach forum Aug. 14, hosted by the American Legion Post 175 in Mechanicsville. Collaborating on the forum is one way the VA demonstrates its commitment to veterans. The goal of the Rural Health Initiative is to build partnerships, provide education and facilitate enrollment. The outreach event was the first of its kind for the post and Jerry Tate, the post’s veteran service officer, said the success was a “great collaboration” between his organization and the Richmond Rural Health Team. “I had never been a service officer before and hosted an event like this at the post,” Tate said. “The key to its success
was the support we received from Sharon [Richmond Rural Health Integrator], and her team and the auxiliary.” In addition to enrolling into the VA healthcare system, veterans had the opportunity to ask questions and get information about counseling services, traumatic brain injuries, employment programs, women’s healthcare and housing. Jose Illa, Richmond VAMC OIF/OEF patient representative, briefed veterans on specialized programs for recently separated veterans. He also provided them with copies of their DD214’s so they could complete the enrollment process. “I wish we would have more of this,” said Kenneth Winston, an Army veteran, who attended event to seek VA support for his uncle, Gene Morgan, a World War II veteran. With his uncle having lim-

outreach events were not just a great way to service remotelylocated veterans, but also build trust and encourage veterans to enroll for their benefits. “You would have the citizenry on your side if you did more things like this.”
Seeing VA employees faceto-face in the local communities was important to all the veterans in attendance. That aspect is considered an important part of building trust and providing encouragement. Ronald Edwards, a Vietnam veteran, said he thought gatherings like the one in Mechanicsville are not only places to get enrolled in VA healthcare or other services, but a part of a very long healing process. “We had built a company roster and almost got hold of our entire unit. We had annual reunions and invited the Veterans Health Administration to speak,” Edwards said. “It was an open forum, so I talked to other vets about my open heart surgery, and how I was having trouble with my health care. The VA rep stopped his presentation and gave me paperwork

to get signed up … I filed that day.” Some veterans said they are apprehensive or have misconceptions on what services are available to them or even if it is worth going. “I had been bugging a friend for six or seven months to apply for benefits,” Tate said. “I finally talked him into coming to today’s event and he was signed up in 15 minutes.” One of the primary purposes of the rural health team is to do enrollment processing, but, for team member Charles Johnson, he receives all types of questions, some that he has difficulty in answering. “Giving a veteran bad news about a claim status is the worst part of my job,” Johnson said. “I always try to say or provide some advice to leave them with a bit of hope and encouragesee FORUM, pg. 24

Tradition: ‘Fill the Boot’ annual firefighters’ goal Martial Arts is the Best Answer!
69469-01
For more than six decades, Richmond area firefighters have partnered with the Muscular Dystrophy Association to raise funds that provide services, research and support to MD patients and their families. This year is no different. Last week, the James Centre Plaza hosted firefighters from Henrico, Hanover and Chesterfield counties and the City of Richmond as they kicked off this year’s “Fill the Boot” campaign. They were joined by MDA officials, patients and elected officials gathered to say thanks to an organization that consistently is the MDA’s largest national sponsor, the International Association of Firefighters. But, it’s the local boots on the ground that make the real difference, and area fire companies take the business of raising money for MD seriously. Last year, firefighters contributed more than $26 million to the campaign. To date, firefighters have raised almost $530 million for MDA since they began their support in 1954. Much of that money is raised through the “Fill the Boot” campaign, and it’s not unusual to see fire trucks parked at local malls and shopping centers to collect money for MDA throughout the month of August. That effort involves a massive effort by local firefighters who focus on the 2014 “Fill the Boot” campaign. “More than 1,000 members
of the Richmond Metropolitan Area Firefighters will fan out across the city with boots in hand for this year’s drive during the month of August and Labor Day weekend,” Danette Hodges, fundraising coordinator for the MDA office, said. Firefighters know the importance of the money raised in treating and finding a cure for a disease that affects thousands of Americans. “Funds raised through Submitted photo 2014 Richmond area ‘Fill the Hanover Fire Chief Jethro Piland holds the boot as MDA Boot’ events will help support ambassador Jack Ridolphi fills it at last week’s Fill the Boot MDA’s programs of worldwide campaign kickoff at the James Centre Plaza in downtown research, specialized health care Richmond. services, and day-to-day sup- stations and we get to know The plight of the patients port – which includes sending them on a personal basis.

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

when a veteran moves, his threshold can move as well because they are geographically unique. The VA will generate a letter highlighting the changes but Johnson welcomes all veterans to come to outreach events like that one anyway. “I assisted a veteran who was confused about his eligibility, and I was able to inform him he was changed to a different priority group,” said Johnson. “We then went over his financials and were able to accurately assess his eligibility.” The rural heath team has

County officials: don’t place signs in right-of-way In an ongoing effort to keep Hanover County clean and beautiful, Hanover County officials remind all that it is illegal to place signs within the Virginia Department of Transportation’s right-of-way and that violations of this law can result in fines. The VDOT right-of-way typically includes median strips, utility poles, street signs and the area between the road and ditch line. Hanover County actively enforces this state law throughout the county, and violators can be assessed a $100 fine per illegal sign. David Maloney, director of planning, said his office has received complaints about these signs over the years and has assessed a number of fines. “A majority of these illegally placed signs are constructed of inexpensive materials and they remain within the public right-of-way and neglected,” Maloney said. “They are very unsightly and become a form of litter.”

He added that signs within the public rightof-way present many nuisances and dangers to motorists. “They become visual distractions to drivers and they can block sight lines, especially at intersections and driveways,” Maloney said. “The county’s goals are to keep our county beautiful and achieve compliance with this state law,” Maloney continued. “We do not have a goal of collecting fines, but we will do so where necessary to discourage businesses and individuals from posting illegal signs.” Also remember that signs may be posted on private property only with the permission of the owner and in compliance with the county’s sign ordinance. Questions about the requirements of the county’s sign ordinance may be directed to the Planning Office at 365-6171. Information submitted by Tom Harris, Hanover County public information officer.

Land use program enrollment starts Hanover County offers a Land Use Taxation Program under which qualified landowners can have their property assessed at “use value”, which may be lower than market value and reduce taxes owed. The application period for this program began Sept. 2 and extends through Nov. 1, with an additional enrollment period Jan. 1 to Feb. 1, 2015. Landowners who have kept their property in agricultural, horticultural, forest or open space uses for at least five years can qualify for the land use program. The minimum qualifying acreages are five acres for agricultural, horticultural and open space and 20 acres for forest use. Property that has been zoned Rural Conservation (RC) also can qualify for the Land Use program. If the land use is changed, the tax reduction must be repaid with simple interest for the current tax year and potentially up to the previous five tax years.

Volleyball teams hope to repeat successes Patrick Henry Patrick Henry is the lone Hanover County girls program coming off a losing record after a 4-11 2013. The Patriots will need to navigate a loaded district including perennial power Deep Run as well as their county rivals. Coach Billy Farmer must replace first-team allConference 16 pick Amber Lee, but second-teamers Kayla Hall and Laura Williamson are back. Williamson, a sophomore setter, was named the Patriots’ court captain before the season. Hall and fellow seniors Raleigh Zook, Sydnie Allen and Michelle Jones will look to get the Patriots to the playoffs before they graduate.
By Chip Knighton For The Mechanicsville Local In a county marked by nearuniversal volleyball success, one program stands above the rest: the Atlee girls, the 2013 Virginia High School League Group 5A state champions. And while allstate selections Rachel Stanford and Clarke Tyler have moved on to Catawba and Norfolk State, respectively, there’s plenty left in the cupboard for another deep playoff run. Filling Tyler’s role as the team’s most prolific hitter will be middle Molly Jarvis, who racked up 249 kills and 95 blocks as a sophomore. Maddie French (185 kills) returns at outside hitter, with newcomer Emalee Martin joining the lineup on the other side. Returnee Melanie Snyder (291 digs as a junior) returns to anchor the Raiders’ defense, along with Stanford’s younger sister, Lauren. The pieces are in place for Atlee to contend for a return trip to the Siegel Center. “We are young, but have good experience,” Atlee coach Curtis Carpenter said. “These girls will be as good as they want to be. It all depends on how hard they are willing to work.” Hanover Nearby Hanover won’t be a pushover, with five starters and the top libero returning from a 15-10 team. Ally Dry, the team’s

The Cavaliers have a new coach in Bianca Cabrera, who spent the past five years coaching the junior varsity. Setter Erin Anderson and hitter Kayla Isaac return from that team. They’ll be supplemented by freshman Caleigh Agee, who joins Isaac as King William players who have benefited from experience at Richmond Volleyball Club.

Patriots edge Lee-Davis in v-ball season opener By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Neither Patrick Henry nor Lee-Davis appeared willing to give ground in the first game of a boys’ volleyball match on the Confederates’ home court Tuesday night. When the game ended with a 25-23 score in favor of the Patriots, spectators appeared set for a long night. And they were. Patrick Henry and Lee-Davis fought through four more games before the Patriots claimed the evening with a 15-10, five-set victory. Lee-Davis bounced back, with two straight victories in the second and third games – Patrick Henry (1-0) seemed to fall apart in the third set – but the Patriots won the fourth game 25-23 before leading throughout the final game to claim the match. “That was a rollercoaster

of a game,” said Patrick Henry coach Matt Townsend. “What I told the guys – they’re small – is that they’ve got to play scrappy. They’ve got to play good defense. They’ve got to pass well. And, most importantly, they’ve got to want it. They’ve got to want every point. … They’ve got to want to win – every single point and every single game.” The Confederates (0-1) seemed to let down their guard after dominating Patrick Henry in the third game. “We just need to stay focused,” said Lee-Davis’ firstyear head coach Nick Brown. “It’s something that we try to work on in practice, but it’s something you’ve got to have with a little game experience. I’ve got three players on the team who’ve never played before.” The Patriots regrouped after dropping the third game and
led through most of the fourth game. Lee-Davis had to play catchup to finish within two points of Patrick Henry. “We just lost our focus,” Brown said. “We came in after the third set and we looked like we’d won it. … Patrick Henry’s a great team. They’ve got two great hitters and they know how to stay in a game. They stay around and we hang our heads and think it’s over, it’s going to be a tough game to win.” The Patriots were determined to stay around. “To basically get their butts kicked that bad in the third game and still come back and have the heart and have the want to still take it to game five – in game five they did everything I told them to do during the match – to make adjustments in our defense and adjustments in our offense,” Townsend said. “They executed.” One of the key adjustments
Robinson said. “That’s the big factor. Last year, we were starting three sophomores and four juniors. The kids are ready for the speed.” Outside hitters Eric Rohr and Jeremy Eye return to lead the Atlee attack, with middle Chui Elliott rounding out the front line and Owen Ward setting. Height could be a weakness for the Raiders, who boast numerous 6-foot players but have no one taller than 6-foot-1.
Atwood and Eliott Sledd, both back for their third season on varsity. A strong junior class led by middle Lee Olenyik, libero Brian Stephen and setter Giles Van Huss, as well as newcomers Cooper Leake and Taylor Rudd, gives the Hawks hope for advancing to the region playoffs. They’ll need to continue their strong offensive play and shore up a passing game that faltered at times last season. “We are a quiet team with varied levels of experience,” Cassil said. “I think we can do great things, but we need to improve our communication on the court, get loud.”
BOYS Competition is just as fierce on the boys’ side of the net, where all four Hanover schools finished at least .500 in 2013. (King William does not field a boys’ team.) The worst of those teams was usually strong Atlee, which went 11-11 last year, marking the first time in five years the Raiders had failed to Hanover reach the 20-win mark.

was on offense. “What hurt us was we weren’t passing the ball all the way to the net first for us to be able to run our middle,” Townsend said. “When we’re able to run our middle, we’re a pretty good offensive team

makes his varsity head coaching debut this year as Nick Brown takes the reins at Lee-Davis. Brown, who spent the past two years at Hanover’s junior varsity coach, takes over for Sally Sanders. Brown was a setter at Hanover from 2007-2009 and will look to his own setter, Clayton Marshall, for leadership coming off a 16-4 season that saw the Confederates bow out in the Conference 11 semifinals. “He’s an extension of me on the floor,” Brown said. “He’s one of the smartest players we have on the floor, and he’s already a great leader as a junior.” Middle Lance Marshall and outside hitter Jordan Lafferty join Clayton Marshall as returnLee-Davis One of Cassil’s proteges ing starters. They’ll need to carry
the Confederates’ offense until newcomers Matthew Guridy and Seth Price are ready to step up on the outside. “We have our goals set fairly high. We want to build on the success the team had last year, and we want to make it to regionals. Our guys have a lot of confidence, but know that we still have to work hard to be successful.” Patrick Henry Last year, Michael Townsend, a former Patrick Henry standout, took his alma mater to a 19-6 record and a spot in the Conference 12 semifinals, where the Patriots lost to Matoaca. He’s hopeful his players can return to the postseason, but they’ll need to replace six graduated start-
ers, including 6-foot-7 Lucas Pienowski and his 184 kills. Senior outside hitter Holden Samuels, entering his third year as a starter, is the only holdover from last year’s lineup, although senior middle Woody McIlhenny earned a starting spot late last year. Four juniors new to varsity – including middle Dalton Nash, who is new to the sport – will look to fill the offensive void, while senior Chase Buchanan takes over from Sam Boyd at setter. “Passing and defense will be our priority focus,” Townsend said. “It is still too early to tell how good we will be this year, but we do have a lot of potential and experience, so if we execute and work hard, it could be a great year for us.”

With the start of the school year comes fresh a fresh season for Hanover County high school sports teams. All four teams of the county field hockey teams have lost key players to graduation and are looking for new leaders who will inspire their squads to victory. Among the different teams are both new and returning coaches. Some coaches are more confident than others about their teams’ potential this season. No matter how much more confident or otherwise the coaches may be this year, all the field hockey teams have a higher standard for success. Last year, Lee-Davis’ team became the first high school field hockey team in the county to make the Virginia High School League state semifinals. With a new coach, it will be interesting to see if the Confederates can continue and possibly even build upon that success. The confederate’s new coach, Merridee Gibson, is uncertain of the team’s chance for a season comparable to its last because of the graduation of a number of key players. Those lost include the core of last season’s defense, Madison Angus and goalkeeper Courtney Gosslin, as well as offensive leaders Cameron Gibson, Madison Doss and Harper Matthews. Gibson notes that they will be particularly difficult to replace in the upcoming season. “We are young and short on experience, but we are deep athletically and play good team hockey. We need to improve our depth to be true contenders,” Gibson said. She is hopeful, however. Gibson expects junior forward
tices and games, and they have high expectations and goals for themselves.” Hanover The Hanover Hawks’ eighthyear head coach, Sarah Bottorff, admits that the loss of players has also affected her team’s level of play. Bottorff and her team are doing their best to compensate for inexperience with good, old-fashioned hard work. “They work hard and want to win games. We’re working right now, during preseason, to Dave Lawrence/The Local discover the strengths of our new players and to put that Atlee’s Hayley Anna (7) pushes the ball downfield in together into a team,” Bottorff the Raiders’ 8-0 field hockey said. victory over visiting Patrick She expects Michelle Henry Thursday.

Atlee dominant in win over Patrick Henry By Josiah Turner For The Mechanicsville Local The Atlee Raiders’ field hockey team went into their second game of the season Thursday to take on crosscounty rival Patrick Henry. Atlee wasted little time setting the tone, jumping out to an early lead and finishing off the Patriots with an 8-0 victory called with about six minutes to go because of the slaughter rule. Raiders head coach Alyssa Farling was proud of how her team is performing so early in the season. “I think they played really well,” said Farling. “They talked. They communicated well. They cut to the ball well. ... They were
aggressive.” The Raiders, inspired by senior Jamari Blackwell, led 40 after the first half. Blackwell, who never seemed to slow down, finished with four goals. “In my mind I’m just like, I got to keep going for my team,” Blackwell said. “And you know, I hydrate so I feel good out there, I just want to win.” She knows how important it is for her team to get off to a good start this season. “It’s very important to boost our confidence.” Patrick Henry (0-1) wasn’t able to score in the game, and head coach Scott Gittman wasn’t happy about it. “We look like we just started practice yesterday. We’re a much better team than 8-0,”
Gittman said. “You can’t teach heart, and they didn’t seem like they had it or wanted it. We are a better team {than that}, and we’ll show it, eventually.” Gittman is confident in his team. He just feels that Thursday they weren’t prepared to play. “I’m still optimistic,” Gittman said. “I have a good group, they have experience, it was just one of those days.” He praised Atlee’s Blackwell, noting how she dominated the field throughout the day. “She’s dynamite. She made some good plays one-on-one and then would give up the ball and utilize the rest of her team,” Gittman said. “I think that was strong play on their part by getting everybody involved.”

tough task of playing Douglas Freeman next. “We try to look at what we do well, what we need to continue to do, and then we always
pick at least three things we want to work on before our next game,” Farling said. “Freeman is our next game, and they’re a formidable [opponent].”
Ferris wheel, party for race fans at RIR By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com NASCAR returns to the area this weekend for two nights of racing at Richmond International Raceway. As in the past, Friday night will bring the Nationwide Series for the Virginia 529 College Savings Plan 250. The Sprint Cup Series hits the track Saturday night for the Federated Auto Parts 400. The Sprint Cup race will bring more than its usual share of drama, too, with it being the “One Last Race to Make The Chase.” Last September’s race brought shenanigans that led to one driver, Martin Truex Jr., being booted from the Chase for the Sprint Cup field and two others, Ryan Newman and Jeff
Gordon added in. “Smoke” fans should get to see Tony Stewart in the field. Stewart was scheduled to race in the Oral-B USA 500 at Atlanta Motor Speedway Sunday after a hiatus following an accident on a dirt track at Canandaigua Motorsports Park in Ontario County, New York, in which driver Kevin Ward Jr. was struck and killed by Stewart’s car. NASCAR has granted a waiver to Stewart that allows him – despite his hiatus – a chance to qualify for the Chase with wins at either Atlanta (which was run after this edition of The Local went to press) or in Richmond. Even without further shenanigans, the aftermath of the Saturday race will be a busy affair as the drivers who qualify
for the Chase are rounded up for the customary photo opportunity to celebrate the start of NASCAR’s playoff season. This year, RIR adds something new to give race fans a chance to celebrate, too. “It’s a unique opportunity to really connect our fans and the drivers who are going on for a chance to win a championship together and kind of just really to celebrate the start of the NASCAR playoffs, the Chase for the Sprint Cup,” said RIR President Dennis Bickmeier. “As we did with the Track Takeover in April where everyone had a ticket and we let down on the track before the start of the race, we’re flipping that model around to a post-race party.” Bickmeier said it should take about 45 minutes to set up
the track for the party once the race is complete. He said the experience should be unique for professional sports. “It’s the emotion of these drivers who know that, starting the following week, they’ve got a chance to go on and win a championship,” Bickmeier said. “To be able to connect them and the fans, I think, is very unique in all of sports. “Typically when a team wins a division and they’re going to go on to the playoffs, they go into the locker room and spray champagne on each other and celebrate. But it’s in the locker room. We’re letting the fans down on the race track, on the playing field. I’m just really excited about providing that really unique connection.” Richmond International

Raceway is offering is usual slate of activities for kids, primarily at the Virginia 529 Kids Zone on the midway. But the track is offering a bit more in Turn 3 Terrace. As in April, fans will be able to drink and dine. More kid-friendly offerings will be available through the area’s new sponsor, Gwaltney. But there will be more – a 47-foottall Ferris wheel – and fans will
be able to sample the Turn 3 offerings on both race days. “We’re really excited about having a Ferris wheel out there,” Bickmeier said. “People can go out and take a Ferris wheel ride and make a donation to the Victory Junction Gang – that’s how you get your ride. But it will be pretty cool to be on a Ferris wheel when the cars are zooming by.”

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 Don’t make any rash moves in the next few days, Cancer. For whatever reason your common sense meter is a little off. You may want to run ideas past a trusted friend for a while.
TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Much is going on, Taurus, and you have trouble zeroing in on a focal point. Unless you make a list of all you want to accomplish, you may get lost in the shuffle.
LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, unless you try you will never be able to tell if something is within your capabilities. Do not be afraid to fail. It’s better than putting in no effort at all.
GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 You sometimes change your moods on a whim, Gemini. But lately you have been more steadfast in your convictions. This behavior will continue for some time.
VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, you’re wearing your heart on your sleeve this week. Don’t worry, as your willingness to share your emotions will endear you to others.
LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 There are only so many hours in the day, Libra. You need to pick and choose your activities accordingly. You likely will not be able to squeeze everything in.
CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 The friends you thought you could count on turn out to be the real deal, Capricorn. Just see what they have in store for you this week. You will be so surprised.
SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, if you want to get involved in something, then by all means give it your best shot. If it’s something foreign to you, let others take the reigns until you’re more comfortable.
AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 It is okay to have strong opinions, Aquarius. But respect the opinions of others who may disagree with your point of view. Learn how to walk away from pointless situations.
SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 A new perspective is all you need to feel better this week, Sagittarius. A change of scenery or even looking to an old friend for advice can make a real difference.
PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 There’s more to the story than meets the eye, Pisces. Quick judgement may land you in hot water. Wait for the dust to settle.
