Fire recruits honor first responders killed on 9-11

The Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office, in partnership with Hanover County Public Schools, has successfully installed a new law enforcement tactical alert system in every county school, as well as the School Board Office, to further enhance safety throughout the district.

The alert systems were installed and tested prior to the start of the school year and were fully paid for with Sheriff ’s Jodi Deal/The Local Office asset forfeiture funds.

Sheriff ’s Office invites public to Fall Fellowship Festival The Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office invites the public to join in the first-ever Fall Fellowship Festival to be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 18, at the Hanover County Government Complex.

This event is designed to celebrate volunteerism and partnerships in the community, which is what continues to make Hanover County a safe place in which to live and work.

“The bottom line is strong partnerships create safe communities,” said Col. David R. Hines, sheriff.

“Here, our faith-based, nonprofit and community organizations will also have the opportunity to highlight the valuable ministries, services and partnership opportunities they offer,” the sheriff added.

Food, games and activities for people of all ages will be available, as well as live music sponsored by the E.J. Wade Foundation.

“One of the most important keys to the success of any community are strong partnerships,” Hines continued. “It is a natural source of strength, especially from a public safety standpoint. Hanover is one of the best examples of this principle in action as we continue to flourish and enjoy the lowest crime rate in the Metro Richmond area.

To ensure we remain strong as a community, I invite everyone to join us for this one-of-a-kind event,” Hines said.

For more information about the event or how you or your organization can become involved, contact Deputy Terry Sullivan at 804-365-6331 or tlsullivan@ hanovercounty.gov.

“This is what we do, this is our chosen profession, this is the tradition of the firefighter.”

Fire-EMS officials and about 35 academy recruits and EMS students honored more than 300 fallen brothers and sisters by reading the name of each and every emergency responder killed in the attack. Firefighters, EMTs, local officials, family members and members of the public looked on in somber silence.

According to Capt. Lee Mooney, Hanover Fire-EMS has never hosted such a ceremony before. The idea came up this year because a firefighter academy session is underway, and, purely by happenstance, the recruits are learning this week about how to help res-

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

What do you want to be when you grow up?

When my sister was 9, she already had her future planned: She wanted to become a chemist and she did. Her education led her to a Ph.D. Yours truly, on the other hand, remembers getting go-go boots and a quick kiss on the cheek (a first — and shocking at that age) by a boy in my class.

Setting goals and planning for a career came to mind with the start of the 2014-2015 year for Hanover County Public Schools students.

I am always so impressed by the responses we receive in the spring when we spotlight the honor graduates from our four high schools (Atlee, Hanover, Lee-Davis and Patrick Henry). It’s admirable the ambition and drive demonstrated by these outstanding students.

But, whether you aspire to be a physician, an educator or a chemist, vocations such as those offered by our Hanover Center for Trades and Technology are just as important. Set your sights and don’t be afraid to dream about reaching your goal.

Like my sister, some students realize at a young age what their destiny will be in the employment world. Bravo! Pursue that destiny with all the fervor you can muster. The rewards are indescribable.

So, how did I land in this industry? I’ve often said I fell into it. I was attending college and a course offered employment opportunities and college credit. A part-time position in September 1975 became full-time that December. And, as they say, the rest is history.

Six newspapers later, I guess this was my destiny — even though I didn’t have a plan. That’s another reason I have such respect for those who know “what they want to be when they grow up.”

I’ve been fortunate through the years and the people I have encountered along the way and the knowledge I have gained. Things happen for a reason and here I am.

To those of you who have that goal of a particular career, don’t give up.

It is attainable. Just keep reaching for it.

Welcome back, students, the future is what you make of it. Our school system provides so many opportunities for you. Take advantage of them.

Losing the ‘Virginia Way’

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist A couple of years ago, I attended a luncheon for a local airport commission. It was the standard event with the usual fare attended by local officials, friends and staff.

As a reporter, you learn quickly that the freebies offered at these types of events are not for you. There are always key chains, pens, screwdrivers and other knick-knacks that make up what I describe as a goodie bag for official functions.

These simple “gifts” usually contain the name of local advertisers or a company directly associated with the type of function at which they are available.

Sometimes, there’s a small bottle opener or a sunglass holder, and the novelties compete for exposure.

As I took my seat at the aforementioned event, I noted a small box of what seemed like pills at my place setting. It was a tiny box of Cig Arrest, or something like that.

The claims on the tiny box interested me, and I stuck it in my pocket,

took it home where it remained on my dresser for months, eventually years.

I didn’t connect the box of tiny pills with Jonnie Williams, or Gov. Bob McDonnell until national news broke about the shady relationship the two enjoyed.

Who knows how the product ended up on perfectly set tables at a fancy hotel, but, as the trial began, I pulled out the yellowed box and confirmed it was one of the products promoted by Williams’ company. see LOSING, pg. 8

Delegate addresses DEQ regarding sludge application (Editor’s note: The following was submitted by Del. Christopher K. Peace, R-97, to Robert Dunn, chairman, Virginia State Water Control Board, and David K. Paylor, director, Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, regarding the proposed industrial sludge application in Hanover, King William and New Kent counties.)

Dear Sirs, As you might expect, I have received numerous comments over the last several months regarding the proposed permitting to Synagro Central ELC, which would allow the application of treated industrial residuals, otherwise known as “industrial sludge,” on land in the 9th District.

I have carefully considered the issue and completed much research on the matter, to include discussions with constituents, farmers, local government and other stakeholders.

A primary concern voiced by my constituents is that the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) does not have a regulatory structure or monitoring methodologies that properly address the safe land application of this so called “industrial sludge.”

On the DEQ website, the department acknowledges there are no technical standards for industrial Waste and that DEQ uses other technical resources such as the regulations involving biosolids or nutrient management.

Alternatively, biosolid application has a long standing history of use by area farmers, particularly when pelletized.

Based on my research and interviews with stakeholders, it is my understanding that “industrial sludge” is derived

of blood, feathers, skin, offal, chemicals and heavy metals and receives little if any treatment or mixture with other nutrients or fertilizers.

Industrial sludge requires a significantly higher degree of both pre- and post-application testing and monitoring, hence why most farmers I have asked reject this material unless it is mixed with fertilizer and pelletized.

Adequate testing and oversight by the state must be in place prior to authorizing land application of this product.

The 97th District is a rural area with sensitive natural resources and an aquifer that must be protected. Almost all of the district is in the Chesapeake Bay Preservation Area with its primary water source being groundwater.

Moreover, many residents depend on wells for water so it is vital that we take measures to protect our water resources, including surface water and wells from contaminates that are applied to the surface.

I am requesting a delay in the permit process until such see LETTERS, pg. 8

THE GROOVE MOTIVE Dance, Variety

Last week, I pulled the tiny box from a larger container on my dresser and read the label closely … then dropped the tiny box in the trash.

I’m thinking the governor wishes he would have done the same thing years ago.

In actuality, no one can blame the product for the mess the governor and wife find themselves in … but the process sure deserves some examination.

Like many Virginians, I think the unwanted attention the state has received for the past five weeks is not a badge of honor, but an affront to our state politics where business was done in what was com-

monly known as “the Virginia way.”

Whatever that is — the shenanigans that McDonnell and his wife were charged with and went to trial for — certainly doesn’t qualify.

Honor, dignity, decorum also took a serious back seat as TMI (too much information) details about the governor’s marriage, and the first lady’s instability emerged daily. It seems as if nothing was held back for the sake of honor, family or anything else on which the governor had based his previous values.

This black eye for the state also is the kind of gift that keeps on giving, and I fear we have only just begun to hear the Bob and Maureen McDonnell story, complete with childish crushes,

regulatory, testing and monitoring measures.

Gordon, who said he was relying on his more than 30 years of public service, said recent appointments have crossed the line, infusing politics into a usually non-partisan selection.

No one criticized or disparaged members of the school board who have been recently appointed, but most voiced concerns regarding the process.

I’m convinced we’ll see the tale repeated hundreds of times in the form of E movies or Lifetime true stories or other made-for-television dramas.

It’s a sad ending for a political future that once seemed boundless. The tale is even sadder for a family that rose to Virginia’s highest office, only to take the responsibility less than seriously.

Like most Virginia voters, it’s an episode I find embarrassing. Governors of Virginia have often continued their higher pursuits by ending up in positions of importance, including the White House.

It seems likely the former governor will be visiting another kind of house — the big one.

Local soccer player gets training on and off the field from a pro

By Jodi Deal jdeal@mechlocal.com Jillian Loyden’s not just a soccer teacher to Mechanicsville resident Katie Pierson.

According to Pierson, who is 12 years old, Loyden, a member of the U.S. Women’s National Team, has become an inspiration, mentor and friend who has taught her plenty off the field about giving back to the community and empowering young women.

For about two years, Pierson’s parents have been driving her six hours away to Pitman, New Jersey, to participate in training sessions with The Keeper Institute, a goalkeeper training academy founded by Loyden.

This summer, Loyden invited Pierson and another young goalkeeper, Grace Gorden, to spend three nights staying at her house and doing intensive goalkeeper training.

When the athletic training sessions were finished, Loyden taught the girls a little bit about healthy eating, took them to a children’s hospital to visit sick kids, and showed them what professional soccer is like by taking them to visit a practice session for the National Women’s Soccer League’s SkyBlue Football Club team, of which she is a member. The three also went to church together.

“One of my top goals in life that’s like. They joke around, the K. Hovnanian Children’s is to be a professional soccer but, at the same time, they work Hospital at the Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, New Jersey, and other lessons from Loyden about helping others have inspired her to start volunteering at home, helping children with special needs participate in soccer through an organization called RVA Access.

“It’s important to give back — that makes me feel like I’m really taking part in the community,” Pierson said. “I’m not just sitting around — I’m helping in a good way.”

Loyden said teaching those kinds of lessons is as valuable as the technical training she provides on the field.

“It is important to me to teach more than X’s and O’s,” Loyden said. “It’s about equipping young women with the tools to succeed in all they do and motivating them to motivate themselves.”

Hard work, determination and perseverance are crucial for success, not just in soccer, but in Photo provided by The Keeper Institute life, Loyden said.

Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com When you think of church mission trips, you often think of faraway places like Haiti or Africa.

But, as members of the Church of Creator said, “There is meaningful, Christ-centered work to be done right in our own backyards,” as their volunteers discovered during the summer.

First on the schedule was providing a little TLC (tender

loving care) for a chapel off Interstate 95 at a truck stop near Kings Dominion.

Creator volunteers were paired with groups from Resurrection Disaster Relief and Helping Hands of Ashland Church of God. Creator parishioner Bonnie Hoffman said that, when she and her two teenagers arrived, they weren’t sure they were even in the right place. The chapel was small — tiny, even — and they wondered who even worshipped there.

Once they met Jimmie, their foreman, Hoffman said they quickly discovered the purpose this chapel served: a quiet place at the truck stop that truckers could use to pray and worship.

She said that it was fitting that the day opened with prayer led by Jimmie, and then was followed by everything from painting and weeding to sanding pews and stringing lights outside.

Loyden said it’s also important to remember that something positive can come out of anything — even tragedy. That, she said, is why she started the Jillian Loyden Foundation in memory of her sister, Britton Loyden, who was killed in a February 2012 domestic violence incident.

“It is important to me to bring honor to my sister’s name, help spread her story, and ultimately save lives,” Loyden said.

She added that the foundation’s Every Voice Counts campaign is intended to empower everyone to speak up, stand up for what is right, and save lives.

Pierson said she’s in the process of trying to raise $1,000 for the foundation. If she continues to succeed in soccer, she said she wants to inspire other young players just like Loyden has done for her.

Pierson’s future is bright.

“Katie is one of the most driven goalkeepers that has come through The Keeper Institute’s Program,” Loyden said. “She is committed to and dedicated to doing everything possible to become the best possible goalkeeper that she can. Not only is she dreaming big, but has given everything to chasing it down and making it her reality. I consider myself lucky to be able to share in the process with her towards greatness.”

Pierson points to Loyden as key to her achievements.

“I want to continue training with her. I think she has gotten me to where I am,” Pierson said.

“I started out as a 10-year-old with no clue what to do. Now I’m a 12-year-old who pretty much knows what to do. She’s a big inspiration to me, and to all kids.”

LaVerne Saunders, whose daughter, Renee Saunders Parr, died July 14, shared this photo of an upside down rainbow. Renee was a first grade teacher at Mechanicsville Elementary School. “Sometimes a 3½-year-old does not respect the ‘No Bow, No Go’ requirement,” LaVerne said, “but my daughter said it often. I have tried to ‘Use My Words’ when thanking family, friends and strangers over the past two months, when there are really no words to say about the sudden loss of our beautiful 30-year-old daughter/wife/mom.” She said that MES students, teachers and families “certainly missed hearing the greeting: ‘Hi, Friends!’ from Room E8. I suppose the true lesson/teaching moment is that we all remember to thank the One True God of Comfort that creates and sends us blessings in the form of: butterflies, dragonflies, rainbows, sunsets, sunrises, cloud formations and ‘everything on earth and in heaven.’ ” These days, LaVerne added, Renee “spends her days dancing and singing (a little off-key) as a princess of Our Heavenly King!” She shared her family’s expressions of gratitude by saying, “Please know as you send cards, gifts, food, say kind words, post on Facebook, spread glitter and raise awareness and funds honoring a well lived life, my family cries tears of joy, thankfulness and heartache along with you. These acts of kindness touch more lives than you can ever know. It is the definition of the ‘Ripple Effect,’ spreading love. Consider this our collective ‘Thank you’ note for the support and expressions of love and concern.” LaVerne submitted the photo and comments on behalf of her family.

by Bill Frazier.

“My appointment was a political appointment,” Gordon said. “I had no experience in our school system. I was not involved in PTA.” Gordon said he was appointed because he fit Frazier’s requirement that the slot be filled by an African American Democrat.

He’s also seen it from the other side when the shoe was on the other foot and he was selecting a candidate for the school board, opting for the most qualified candidate and not selecting a close political ally who wanted the job. “It cost me a friend,” Gordon said.

The former supervisor said he supports appointed school boards, but cautioned the process is not perfect. “It’s the right way to do it, but it can be done

dents. Now, the process begins with a directive from the supervisors advising the system how much money is available for their budget.

After more than 30 years of service on the county’s school board, Gladstone and Millican were replaced in recent appointments made by their respective supervisors.

Gladstone said she is troubled by the political overtones in selecting citizens to serve on such important boards. “My concern is that politics are entering the school system … and creeping into the school board,” she said. “A school board member has to put his politics aside and look at the whole because we serve every child.”

Sherrod, representing Friends of Hanover Schools, said he’s not as enthusiastic regarding appointed school boards. “It is distressing to me that we lost all those years of experience when these folks were not reappointed,” he said.

“The overwhelming majority of Virginia localities have elected school boards. However, there’s no guarantee that the

wrong.”

“I want you all to know that there are two processes, two options, for a member of the board of supervisors to follow in selecting appointments to any position — the political process or the process which is in the best interest of the citizens he or she represents,” Gordon added.

“Unfortunately, we are seeing more political appointments than we have in the past.”

Glenn Millican served for 24 years on the school board, but was not reappointed in his latest bid to keep his seat.

“The appointment process rests on the sole judgment of one individual,” Millican said.

“It has its failings. I think it would be much better if there were a standing committee that reviewed applicant for a number of positions.”

He noted the process is only as good as the people who make the selections. “It does take caring people who will get in and look at credentials and ability, not just political affiliations, and not political spoils,” he said.

Millican described a budget process that once focused on what the division thought was necessary to educate their stu-

“At first, we weren’t sure exactly what to do or how to be efficient at the tasks we weren’t used to doing. But, we all had BONNIE HOFFMAN a willingness to learn and just Church parishioner jumped in to follow instructions and get started.”

Miss Lewis, Rev. Kelchner exchange vows on April 5

T

he marriage of Keeli Blye Lewis, the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rodger Dale Lewis of Fairview, Tennessee, to the Reverend Adam Ross Kelchner, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Earle Duane Kelchner of Mechanicsville, Virginia, took place April 5, 2014, in a garden ceremony at C J’s Off the Square in Franklin, Tennessee.

The Reverend Kenneth Edwards officiated the double ring ceremony.

The bride was escorted by her father, and given in marriage by her parents.

stick. “We know that only 10 percent of professional development makes it back to the classroom,” Gill said.

Increased technology gives that information infinite shelf life.

He also explained a system that blends instruction between face-to-face and online instruction better prepares students.

“As we look to make our technology offerings more robust, I believe that’s something we should do sooner rather than later,” Wilson said. The enhanced professional technology development is now slated to be updated by no later than 2016-2017.

Hank Lowry, Ashland District, asked why that program couldn’t be implemented sooner than two years.

Wilson said the projected plan does not preclude the board from moving forward sooner than the 2016-2017 date.

Another change in the action plan involves maintaining

Hanover’s Career and Technical training and guaranteeing they exceed state credentialing standards. “As courses change, so do the tests,” Gill said.

The tests determine if students are workplace ready when they complete courses at CTE facilities.

Gill said it’s also important to ensure the long-term plan is flexible enough to react to a constantly changing job market and offering students the courses they need to succeed.

“CTE is one field that we always have to keep our finger on the pulse of ‘What does the job market look like and are our course offerings preparing our students for the world of today and the future?’ ” Gill said.

Chairman Bob Hundley, Chickahominy District, expressed concern that some middle school teachers are not acquainted with all the offerings in the CTE. “There is room for us to improve. We can always do better,” Wilson said.

Vice chairman Hank

Lowry said a program at the Hanover Center for Trades and Technology could be a viable attraction for other schools in the county. An annual career night at the center allows students to explore different career options.

Charla Cordle, assistant superintendent of human resources, outlined goal two of the longrange plan, employing and retaining highly qualified staff.

She said her department is exceeding its objectives in four of the five objectives.

David Myers, assistant superintendent of business and operations, proposed minor changes to the board’s fifth goal to manage resources effectively and efficiently.

Included was a suggestion for renewing programs that reward employees who come forward with innovative or money-saving ideas. “We’re going to take another shot at it this year,” Myers said.

Cordle presented an employee compensation review, something that hasn’t occurred for

a decade. Over 1,400 teachers are listed on Hanover’s Teacher Salary Schedule. Almost 100 percent of those teachers are licensed. More than 50 percent have advanced degrees.

Cordle identified a problem in that steps of the schedule offer similar salaries with minimal annual increases.

For example, a starting teacher with a bachelor’s degree starts at $42,482, while a five-year teacher only makes $43,228, a figure that represents a small increase.

Lowry said those salary statistics omit an important part of the equation, the compensation offered each employee.

While state funding to localities for VRS (Virginia Retirement System) has declined, those increases have not been passed on to employees. The same is true for health benefits.

Lowry said he thinks the public needs to consider that the salary is only a portion of the compensation and the benefit package must also be considered.

School’s Back In!

Make sure to look out for kids as they are getting on and off the bus!

Cordle also suggested studying the minimum rate for county bus drivers, and possibly differentiating between regular bus drivers and special education drivers.

Sue Dibble, South Anna District, said a major factor in bus driver turnover is not always financially related. She said morale among bus drivers is low and they feel they are not respected by students or the administration, a situation money will not resolve.

She suggested taking a serious look at audio/visual cameras on the buses. Myers said he didn’t think discipline problems on the buses was a countywide issue.

Gill unveiled an ambitious plan that would increase the number of students taking dual enrollment classes. He said he hopes to triple the number to more than 750 participants in the next three years.

Dual enrollment classes allow students to take college credit classes while attending high school and are run through J. Sergeant Reynolds

Community College.

Norman Sulser, Cold Harbor District, a long-time proponent of expanded DE offerings, applauded the proposal.

“I think it’s a great plan and I am pleased with the increased number of students who will be able to take these classes.”

Dibble addressed a continuing problem with school websites, citing outdated information and infrequent updates.

Each school has a webmaster that performs the updates and is compensated for that extra work.

“Regarding school websites and websites in general I’m anxious for us to improve and make more engaging the websites we have in our school division,” Wilson said.

She pointed to more userfriendly sites with easier access to information.

“Our website has not been updated for the 15 years I’ve been here, and I believe the website largely looks the same.

It’s time and it’s an area of high priority for me.”

further intrusion by supervisors into education-related matters.

Millican indicated the group needs more citizen impact as opposed to a board-directed mechanism.

Gladsone said she thought the committee was formed to bring newly elected and inexperienced supervisors up to speed on education-related issues, but feels differently now.

“I think they are crossing an unspoken line between two autonomous boards,” Gladstone said. “It’s blurred and the JEC is part of that blurring.”

R-MC to host 7th District debate Randolph-Macon College in Ashland will serve as the backdrop for a debate between principal candidates for the U.S. House of Representatives District 7 election. Participating in the Tuesday, Oct. 28, debate are Randolph-Macon College faculty members David Brat and Jack Trammell, colleagues who are on leave while they focus on their campaigns.

The debate will start at

7:30 p.m. in the Blackwell Auditorium in the R-MC Center for the Performing Arts on the campus.

“Randolph-Macon College has a rich history of faculty, staff and students making significant contributions to our government and our society,” said Robert R. Lindgren, president of Randolph-Macon College. “The college is delighted to invite our faculty members — now House seat challengers — Dave Brat and Jack Trammell back to campus for a debate. Having two

faculty members vying for the House seat has generated great excitement among our students and the wider community, and our vibrant and beautiful campus is the perfect setting for this debate.”

The structure of the 60-minute debate will encourage substantive discussion of important issues.

Following introductions from Lindgren, each candidate will have the opportunity to make two-minute opening statements, the order determined by coin toss.

Each of the candidates will then address a series of alternating questions, using their allotted time to answer and/or rebut the opposing candidate.

While there are multiple candidates vying for the 7th District seat, the college determined debate participants by using criteria developed in accordance with Federal Election Commission (FEC) regulations and by following best practices established by a variety of sources including the League of Women Voters.

school that there was a great attitude,” Hank Lowry, Ashland District, said.

“The improvements really made a difference in morale,” said Norman Sulser, Cold Harbor District, who also took part in the tours.

Jennifer Greif, director of accountability and accreditation, presented part two of this year’s Student Achievement Data report, including the latest SOL (Standards of Learning) scores for Hanover County.

Greif outlined a dip in advanced placement qualifying scores and said she will be meeting with the College Board to bring those levels back to previous levels.

IB (International Baccalaureate) qualifying scores also are slightly down at some schools. “We did implement two new courses last year, which I believe did contribute to the dip that we saw,” Greif said.

This was a new course for teachers and students. “We’ll provide teachers with additional support so the content can be covered more effectively,” Greif said.

Overall, Hanover County SOL scores remained level, well within acceptable levels of maintaining scores by state standards.

“With all 34 tests, we saw no significant slippage. In other words, we did not see any of our test scores decrease by more then five percentage points,” Greif said. “That’s pretty impressive.”

Students also exceeded state averages on all 34 tests, and rated first in 27 of the tests when compared to other surrounding counties.

School board chair Bob Hundley, Chickahominy District, asked if testing is uniform between states and if Hanover competes well with

other states.

Greif said she is not aware of any testing available that establishes if one state’s tests are more difficult than another’s.

The greatest gains were made in math, specifically eighth grade.

Lowry asked if there were results available by each school.

Greif said that information has been provided to school principals but was not included in last week’s report.

“As you can see, we have a lot to be proud of,” Dr. Michael Gill, assistant superintendent for instruction, said. He pointed to the number of test-takers increasing with no decrease in test scores, an atypical situation under most circumstances.

Gill also noted that state accreditation standards and federal accountability reports were scheduled to be released Sept. 16.

“We want you to know our efforts center around using the

data to improve instruction and achievement. The next question is what we do with the information,” Wilson said.

Laurel Meadow Elementary School second grade student Samuel Messe was recognized for his second place in Division 1 (K-2) this year’s school bus safety calendar.

The theme was “Be Smart — Be Seen, I wait in a safe place!”

Maddy Hall, also a second grader at LMES, took third place in the same division.

The Virginia Association for Pupil Transportation (VAPT) sponsors a poster contest associated with bus safety every year.

Winners receive a monetary award, a ribbon and their entry being included in the calendar.

Director of transportation Michael Ashby said there were more than 700 entries.

to be a patriot — to stand up for the morals and values of our country,” Piland told the crowd.

Chaplain Stephen Starzer, who delivered two prayers during the night’s proceedings, added that anyone who’s able should go visit the reflecting pools at the 9-11 memorial to see the names read that night carved in granite markers, then to proceed to the New York City Fire Museum in lower Manhattan to see photos of

those lost and learn more about their lives.

“You’ll never just hear the names again — they’ll become faces you remember,” Starzer said, noting that he was particularly struck by the story of Mychal Judge, the FDNY chaplain who was killed that day.

Participants in the Hanover Fire-EMS ceremony included: Piland, Mooney, Starzer, Leber, Chaplain Brett Underdown and Fire-EMS

Atlee onslaught overwhelms Patrick Henry

By Monica Hunsaker for The Mechanicsville Local

Pretty much everyone expected Atlee to get a victory on the road at Patrick Henry Friday night, and the Raiders did. But the more important outcome of the game was what both teams and their coaching staffs had to learn from what was both teams’ second game of the season, and how to improve as they move on.

Atlee, led by Rasharrd Harris with more than 170 yards passing and three touchdowns and

by Loumond Dandridge with more than 100 yards rushing and an additional touchdown, shut out the young and inexperienced Patriots 56-0.

Though the Raiders’ head coach, Roscoe Johnson expected the win, he says the team, ranked No. 3 in the TimesDispatch poll, still has work to do if they plan to beat the tougher rivals, such as No. 8 Douglas Freeman, that they will face this season.

“We have to go against Douglas Freeman next week.

They’re pretty good and they’re not afraid of us, so we expect a good game,” Johnson said.

“We’re going to enjoy this [win], but we just need to remember to keep pushing and working hard; it’s non-stop.”

Johnson found plenty of work for both the defense and offense.

Dave Lawrence/The Local

Atlee running back Loumond Dandridge (8) slips away from a Patrick Henry tackler in the Raiders’ 56-0 shotout of the host Patriots Friday.

“We missed some tackles out there [and] got some holding calls,” Johnson said. “We need to fix that.”

Patriots head coach, Bryan Davis also knows his team needs to improve and looks at Friday’s game as highlighting the work they have to do rather than as a shutout. He is examining the places where he can strengthen his inexperienced team and give them the advantages they

need to win the games that he says are possible for them to win this season.

“We are just so young and [Atlee] knew,” Davis said. “We blew pretty big coverages in the first half. It’s hard because our kids simply don’t have the experience upon which to draw. …

We are a work in progress and this is going to take some time.”

One specific area in which the Patriots need to work – and

this is a long-term project – is in the weight room.

“We still aren’t as strong as the teams we play,” Davis said.

“Until we catch up, we’re going to struggle up front.”

Davis’ ability to keep a positive outlook is something he hopes to pass along to the team as a whole. He believes this is vital to ensuring that the Patriots don’t lose faith and are able to perform at their best this

season.

“There are so many things that you can’t control, so we are going to control the controllable and the first thing is our attitude; we can try and stay positive and do the best that we can,” Davis said. “We have to remember to just progress and [eventually] we can compete against some of [these teams] and get better. Our kids are getting comfortable, but it’s going

to take some time.”

Davis keeps his focus on what his team is doing right and praises their forward motion.

“We do our very best to make each week its own goal,” Davis said. “We got a little better this week and I’m proud of them on that level.”

The coaches are the only ones critiquing performances.

Trojans run roughshod over King William

By Josiah Turner for The Mechanicsville Local

Coming off of a 73-22 victory over New Kent the week before, the King William Cavaliers might have felt a bit complacent as they played host to the Essex Trojans Friday night.

But Essex has been to the Group 1A state championship game the last two years, and the Trojans proved why – dominating their hosts with a 35-0 shutout on King William’s home field.

“We challenged them in the locker room to finish, that’s been one of our mottos to finish these things,” said Essex head coach John Fulks. “We finished 35-0, and I’ll take that.”

The Trojans wasted little time made an impression, jumping out to an early 14-0 lead as their first two drives ended in touchdowns. Essex is usually a team that likes to pass, however the Trojans caught King William off-guard by establishing a running game that the Cavaliers struggled to contain.

“We have those two horses in Leo Gaskins and Sterling Hammond, and we said we’re going to try to open up some holes and let them [run],” Fulks said. “I was really excited. That’s the first time we’ve really been able to do that since I’ve been here at Essex.”

Gaskins rushed 13 times for 95 yards and one touchdown, averaging 7.3 yards per carry.

Hammond was just as productive, running for 86 yards and one touchdown on just nine carries. The pair got Essex (1-1) started, as Hammond scored the first touchdown and Gaskins scored the second.

Essex amassed a total of 284 yards on the ground.

“We’ve been looking at film all week, we felt like one of

some positive signs against such a talented team in Essex.

“You learn a lot from a loss, we need to play games like this to make sure we can sharpen up and get ourselves prepared to play teams in the playoffs,” DeHart said. “This is a good team to help you prepare.”

leges as a safety.

He currently has scholarship offers from Louisville, Virginia Tech, Old Dominion, Purdue, James Madison and

East Carolina.

Before he left the field for the night early in the fourth quarter, Hammond showed why his defensive skills were so highly prized. He put a big hit on King William running back Malik King, forcing a fumble that the Trojans recovered.

“I’m a defensive player, I like hitting,” said Hammond.

Although he’s used to throwing the ball quite often, Essex quarterback Dominek Broaddus only had to go airborne seven times Friday night.

He completed four of those attempts for 68 yards. He also ran for 52 yards.

The Cavaliers (2-1) began the game with a sound drive

that reached the red zone, but they were unable to finish it with any points. The Essex defense stiffened up and allowed King William only 203 yards on the night.

“We had a game plan to come out and run the ball, we wanted to press them,” said King William head coach Dylan DeHart. “I’m very proud that we can start drives and get them going, but we have to learn how to finish in the red zone, that was the big problem tonight.”

Quarterback Jacob Jones led King William with 115 total yards on the night – 73 passing and 42 rushing.

Despite the defeat, DeHart is proud that his team showed

Amid a transition year for the defending5A state-champion Mills Godwin girls cross country team, senior Sarah Goodrich was looking to make her mark at the Pole Green Classic, her second race of the season. She lined up at the start of the 5,000-meter race in a peculiar situation, however. She was the only Mills Godwin representative in the race.

And 19 minutes, 7 seconds later, Goodrich was by herself again, this time separated from the other runners on her way toa 9-second victory.

The Eagles lost seven of their top eight runners from last year, including All-Metro selection and state champion Katharine Benfer. The combination of an inexperienced junior varsity team and a couple of unavailable runners for Saturday put Goodrich in this unusual spot.

“Since I started coaching girls cross country at Godwin in 1981, I’ve never had a race where just one girl ran in the regular season or even the postseason,” said coach Kemper Towler. “This was quite different, but it was sort of enjoyable.”

She didn’t have any teammates to pace her, but it didn’t change Goodrich’s game plan.

She stayed near the front of the pack, then emerged from the Pole Green forest with a solid lead.

“Going into it, I knew that I just had to be patient for the first mile, for the second mile stay confident, and for the third mile just stay mentally tough,” she said.

While the JV girls train

to be able to compete on the varsity squad soon, Goodrich trained for Pole Green with the boys’ team in order to practice her pacing. The preparation helped.

It didn’t surprise Towler to see Goodrich outrun the group of 127 girls. He said her desire to run well can push her beyond what her body can handle. This was evident when she received medical attention after crossing the finish line.

It is the second time in two meets this season where Goodrich has had trouble staying up at the end. She blamed the heat for the first one and overexertion for Saturday, but she doesn’t see it being an issue for the rest of the season.

“Once I crossed the finish line, I had nothing left in me,” she said. “Everything just kind of melted around me. I couldn’t comprehend anything.”

Assuming she can stay on her feet, she wants to try to break the 18-minute mark by the end of the season. Doing so would put her in excellent position to compete at states, but it likely will be a season-long grind to improve on her 18:32 personal record.

Some great team performances highlighted the morning action at Pole Green Park.

Yorktown’s Tabb High School won the large-school girls race and took third in the boys’ competition.

Midlothian also came out of the Classic successful. The Trojans finished third in the girls race and second in the boys race behind Brentsville District. Evan Benjamin, a 2013 All-Metro selection, finished fifth, and the Hahn brothers, Collin and Randy, finishing

seventh and 11th, respectively.

The top-three finishes serve as a nice start to the season as the Trojans look to repeat as boys 4A state champions.

The Mills Godwin girls most likely will not have a chance to repeat, but Goodrich will have a group to lead starting next week at Bells Mill Park in Chesapeake while she pursues her personal goals.

“Cross country is really a team sport, and we’ll be a team starting next week,” Towler said.

Knizner strikes twice to give Hanover victory

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com

For most of the game, Hanover’s Hawks dominated the majority of their home field Wednesday afternoon when they hosted Lee-Davis in a meeting of cross-town field hockey rivals.

For much of the game, Hanover could not get the ball into Lee-Davis’ net.

But mid-way through the second half, Hanover’s Michelle Knizner found a hole in the Confederates’ defensive wall.

By the end of regulation, she had scored a second goal and teammate Brianna Kim added another to lead the Hawks to a 3-0 victory.

The Confederates (0-4) did not make it for the Hawks (3-1) to get those three goals.

Lee-Davis goalkeeper DeeDee Gilmour, aided by a determined defense, finished with 16 saves.

“It was very crowded

for them to have much of a chance at scoring.

“In hockey, when you have so many people in [the circle] – just everybody was collapsing into the cage,” Bottorff said.

“Inevitably, it gets difficult to get a shot off because … there’s a stick foul or a foot foul or advancing foul. … There’s some kind of foul that occurs and it’s a corner or it’s a turnover.”

Bottorff said the Hawks had to adjust their attack to spread the Lee-Davis defense out.

“We had to switch our strategy in the second half, trying to use our width and our speed a little bit more down the sides,” Bottorff said. “We’re trying to really speed up the play so that … the defense didn’t have time to collect into the circle.”

The Confederates around the circle and dodge Hanover head coach Sarah net for the first part of the game have few experienced replace-

ments now.

“I start five freshmen, and I start six on a roster of 12, so we’re a little young,” said Lee-Davis head coach Merridee Gibson.

“It matters because we’re giving away six inches and 20 pounds on every player almost. It’s a lot of physical play out there that they need to learn to deal with and learn to cope with.”

The junior- and senior-class players have a lot of learning to do as well.

“Even those guys started playing field hockey last year,” Gibson said. “Of the 11 kids on the field, eight of them started playing field hockey last year. … It is a learning curve, and they’ve been thrown into deep water and they’re doing very well.”

Randolph-Macon sweeps VSU in volleyball contest

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com

Randolph-Macon stepped on the volleyball court in Crenshaw Gymnasium feeling confident. Virginia State stepped on the court feeling intimidated. By the time the match between schools from opposite ends of the Richmond metropolitan area was over, the difference in outlook had had a noticeable impact.

The Yellow Jackets swept the Trojans 3-0 for their fifth victory of the season.

The first two games were fairly close, 25-19 and 25-21.

But the second game seemed to be the high-water mark for the Trojans. Randolph-Macon (5-4), led by Bailey Troia’s 12-

point run as server, dismissed Virginia State 25-15 in the deciding game.

“We play them every year, and they’re really, really athletic – so we always look forward to this match,” Troia said. “We’ve been working hard as a team and I think we came prepared to play tonight. … I think we didn’t let any ball hit our floor and we worked for every single point.”

Two Yellow Jackets played the major role in preventing the ball from hitting the Yellow Jackets’ side of the floor: Courtney Lowers with 19 digs and Katie Rossberg with 14 digs.

Riley Martin and Samantha Sallade had eight digs apiece.

Virginia State coach Rose Burke said the Trojans (2-1)

were uncharacteristically timid.

“That is not the team that has shown up to practice the last couple of weeks. It definitely wasn’t the team that showed up this past weekend,” Burke said. “We looked nervous the whole match. I’m not sure why. We were making a lot of unforced errors. … I don’t feel that Randolph-Macon beat us.

I think we beat ourselves a lot during this match.”

Martin got the Yellow Jackets off to a strong start with a 5-0 run in the first game. The Trojans never quite cut into that lead once her turn in service was over.

The second game was more even, with Virginia State see SWEEPS, pg. 40 

Local helps Squirrels put together a winning ticket

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com

Since arriving in Richmond in 2010, the Richmond Flying Squirrels have been one of the top sports draws in the metropolitan area.

The Squirrels, a Class AA minor league franchise in the San Francisco Giants’ organization, have also been one of the top draws in the Eastern League.

In 2014 alone, the Squirrels won the Eastern League attendance title with 418,127 seats filled, for an average attendance of 6,336 per game and more than 20,000 fans ahead of the second place Reading Fighting Phils.

Even though the Squirrels play in The Diamond, Mechanicsville does its share to contribute to the team’s success. One of the key players in that success is Tyler Callahan, a Hanover High School and

“That always gets you hyped up, because at that point the game is going fast and you just want to keep [the ball],” Troia said. “We got really excited for that.”

Troia finished the night with 13 assists. Martin led with 15 assists.

Rossberg and Lowers finished with 10 and nine kills, respectively for the Yellow Jackets.

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

menu for the year. Then they hire the hundreds of employees who will help prepare and sell food and beverages during the season.

Game days are long.

“Every game day starts with a whole staff meeting,” Callahan said. “We go over our game notes. If we have any food specials that day, we’ll go over than in the meeting to let everybody know. Then from there, we usually have a big truck of inventory come in. …

We count it. We enter it into a large spreadsheet to know what we have in stock. The next thing we do is usually clean and stock all our vending machines and carts.

“After lunch … all of our staff arrives, so we make sure all our staff is where they’re supposed to be. … And then from there, everything starts to get rolling. We start to cook. We start to prep all the food. We start to make sure all the carts have everything they need, the beer taps are ready to go and clean. Then the fans slowly start to roll in and we get going for the day.”

Despite the long hours during the season, Callahan would not have it any other way.

“I always knew I wanted to work in sports,” he said. “I just wasn’t sure I would be fortunate enough to stay in Richmond.”

client’s event. That aspect of the degree came in handy.

“I wasn’t really sure what food and beverage consisted of … it was just a great opportunity to intern with the Squirrels,” Callahan said. “I did not really understand what I was getting myself into, but once I got into it, I definitely liked it and enjoyed what I was doing.

“With PR, it seems like it has a very broad aspect of things that you can do. Yeah, I’d say event management definitely ties into it.”

Callahan and fellow food and beverage manager Michael Caddell run The Diamond’s four fixed concession stands, plus the stadium’s picnic area, tailgate area and numerous food carts. Caddell takes care of the fixed concession stands.

Callahan takes care of the rest. The job is more than big enough for the two of them.

“On a busy night, we probably have, you know, 150 or so employees, 200 employees that are here, so it’s definitely a lot of moving parts, especially on really big nights,” Callahan said.

“Friday, Saturday nights and the Fourth of July and opening night are really big nights, so we’re going to have as many people on staff as possible.”

The job extends beyond the season. Before it starts, Callahan and Caddell plan the

equalizing the score twice – the last time at 18-all – before Randolph-Macon began to pull away.

The Yellow Jackets fell behind early in the third game.

Troia stepped up to serve with the score tied 8-8. By the time she yielded the ball, RandolphMacon was ahead 20-8.

Tuesday, Sept. 30th Time: 1-4pm

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.
