Ashland incubator project could get facelift

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

Jim Ridolphi for The Local

EDWIN GASKIN Hanover Economic Development director

A program designed to assist small startup technology businesses in Hanover County could be getting a new location.

The Dominion Resource Innovation Center, currently located in an industrial park near Ashland, is in its fifth year

of operation, and Economic Development director Edwin Gaskin told the Hanover County Board of Supervisors the project has resulted in a fair number of success stories.

Gaskin also suggested some changes to the operation, a joint venture by the county, Dominion and Ashland Town Council.

The county currently con-

Sheriff: strong partnerships key to success in community

By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com Strong partnerships. That’s what the sheriff of Hanover County views as making his office fortunate by forming those relationships within the community.

HINES “I firmly

believe that it’s one of the essential ingredients to the success of any community,” Col. David R. Hines said. But, he said it is “especially so for the success of its law enforcement efforts.”

“The partnerships that we’ve built serve as just a natural source of strength for positive interactions between law enforcement and its citizens,” he said.

By emphasizing that his office serves “ at the pleasure of the citi-

tributes $80,000 to assist businesses with almost rent-free space, tech-savvy advice and an innovative environment to expand their projects.

“We encourage small business through a variety of methods,” Gaskin said at a recent board of supervisors meeting.

One of those methods involves startup businesses and how to promote and encour-

age their creation, and that’s where the Innovation Center enters the picture. For the past five years, the county has supported the Ashland campus in an effort to promote innovative startups in Hanover County.

“At some point, someone has to leave their basement, dining room table or garage and have the courage to take their idea out in the stream of

commerce,” Gaskin said.

Often, hefty rental fees and other startup costs prohibit these businesses from taking flight.

“They can’t avail themselves to normal real estate options,” Gaskin said.

The Innovation Center offers those businesses real see FACELIFT, pg. 4

Have you ever wanted to enclose your screen porch

to keep out the rain, snow and pollen and then return to your screen porch again when the weather improves?

echanicsville Elementary School will be hosting two special events on Saturday, Oct. 18: the annual MES Miler and the school’s 50th birthday party.

The starting horn sounds at 9 a.m. for the 6th Annual MES Miler, a 3-mile run/walk for all ages and a 1-mile fun run for students in fifth grade and under. The event also includes a 50-yard dash for students in second grade and under, a sponsor mascot race and a silent auction.

This year’s race is especially meaningful for the school community as it runs in memory of Renee Parr, the first grade teacher who passed away unexpectedly this summer.

Register online with RaceIt or obtain a registration form at the school’s front office or on the school’s website.

In addition to participants, MES is seeking

sponsors for the race and items for the silent auction.

Race proceeds will be used to improve the K-2 playground and to contribute to the college fund for Parr’s daughter.

For questions or more information, contact Alicia Todd, assistant principal, at atodd@hanover.k12.va.us or 804-723-3640.

The festivities continue at noon as the school celebrates 50 years. The party will feature the band Sons of Zebadee, a food truck from Carytown Burgers and Fries, an ice cream truck, inflatables and cake.

There will be a photo opportunity for anyone who went to Mechanicsville Elementary, had children at Mechanicsville Elementary, or worked there at any time during its 50 years of being open.

Those attending can buy lunch from the food truck or bring a picnic. They also are encouraged to bring chairs or blankets.

The celebration will wrap up at 3 p.m.

estate space in which to operate, but Gaskin said it’s time to adjust the program.

“It’s time to take these good partnerships we have had with Dominion Resources and the county and make it leaner, better and more focused,” Gaskin said.

To achieve that, Gaskin suggested a move from its current 8,000 square feet to 2,600 square feet at the Ashland Firehouse, hiring a part-time manager for the operation and attracting a group of qualified and professional mentors to assist new business entrepre-

zens,” he did point out that he, as sheriff, bears “the responsibility of keeping our community as safe as possible and it’s a commitment that I take very seriously.”

He said he is continually seeking “to establish and maintain partnerships with every segment of the community and I truly think that Hanover is probably one of the best examples of this principle. We continue to have a low crime rate, a high clearance rate.”

Saying that it’s not about the number of arrests or tickets that make a community safe, Hines said, “It’s about the partnerships and the feeling that a citizen has of whether they’re a resident, a business owner, or visitor to the county. It’s the feeling they have of being of feeling safe within their community.”

He said there is great satisfaction when someone tells

will top the evening off with a drive-in movie showing of Monster House.

neurs.

The move to the rent-free firehouse will cut the operation budget by a third of its $160,000 annual allotment.

Gaskin suggested the county reduce its annual contribution to $50,000 and Ashland cut its contribution from $20,000 to $10,000. Dominion would continue to provide its $50,000 annual allotment for the project.

Gaskin acknowledged the proposed new space is smaller, but noted it will accommodate the same number of office suites.

He proposed a new three-year plan that focuses on Science, Technology,

Engineering and Mechanical (STEM) startup companies.

“We want to focus on what we do best,” Gaskin said.

“Our innovation center has a great reputation in the state and the region for being very smart. We’re focused on real products and making things.”

Developing this base can benefit the county in several ways, according to Gaskin, and one important positive result is high paying jobs.

“These jobs are typically the ones that have higher wages associated with them,” Gaskin said.

He said regional incubator program graduates also have resulted in expanded real

estate options for companies that evolve from the innovation center and then move into the real business world.

“Innovation is painful because it involves change. We worked hard as a board member on the Dominion Resource Innovation Center board to do self-evaluation and propose these new changes,” Gaskin concluded.

The proposed changes would take effect in December, and the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, Ashland Town Council and Dominion must approve the action.

“We’re anxious to make it more efficient going forward,” Gaskin said.

him that they know they’re home and safe when they see a Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office cruiser. “When you hear a citizen say that, that speaks volumes over statistics.”

Partnerships shared with the citizens, Hines added, “is the strength of any community.”

He said he is keenly aware of what he requires of his staff and himself, with researching and studying the challenges faced across the nation. His department then addresses how a situation may have been avoided or “at a minimum, how could it have been mitigated.”

“How do we handle that situation within our own community?” he will ask himself and his staff, as well as share certain strategies with community leaders.

“I think it’s important that a community understands that we’re there and reflective of their desires,” he continued.

Hines and his staff are fre-

quent speakers at civic organizations and church groups.

Worship Watch is the newest program, which was based on Neighborhood Watch and Business Watch. “It was a natural progression for us to start Worship Watch,” the sheriff said.

When he or a member of his staff presents a keynote program, like Worship Watch, he said they are “able to get information out to citizens on safety measures and maybe, even more importantly, help our churches protect themselves daily. There are people that will take advantage of a church. There are people that will break into churches and this is another program that we hope to see great benefits from.”

Hines said his office is “a reflection of the community because we are the community’s law enforcement — we serve them.”

He said he wants citizens to be at ease if approached by

an officer. “Probably one of the best examples I can give is we have a practice at the sheriff ’s office . . . If you’re stopped for a routine traffic violation, I expect the officer to introduce himself by name and agency and then to tell you why he stopped you. You wouldn’t believe the number of phone calls I get from citizens who say, ‘Sheriff, I just want to let you know somebody stopped me and the first thing they did was tell me who they were and why they stopped me.”

“I think our citizens deserve that type of interaction. It doesn’t necessarily have to be a negative interaction; it can be positive,” he said.

Again stressing the partnership aspect of his administration, Hines said a prime example of how the community united was when Robert Wood Jr. became lost at the North Anna Battlefield in October 2011.

“You had a community that

Teach your children well more than a song

Resident: ‘I told you so’ about accreditation issue

There was a time when the idea of being a teenager in the 1950s seemed so appealing. An innocence and a different view of the hope for tomorrow seemed to emerge.

And the music — a revolution of sorts started as rock ’n’ roll took hold of the country. This writer was born in the ’50s but the memories are limited. Maybe “Happy Days,” that great 1970s sitcom starring Ron Howard and Henry Winkler, influenced the desire for a teen life in that era.

But, to get to business. The next decade brought about a much more involved and politically active group of those under the age of 30. “Flower Power” and “Make Love Not War” were among the anthems of the ’60s. We were, at the time, waging a war many did not support in Vietnam.

They were young and socially conscious and many referred to them as hippies. Like teens and twentysomethings of today, their attire was unique to individuality and how they wanted to represent themselves.

Moving ahead, let’s look at the year 1970 and a song that seems appropriate for the times in which we live. “Teach Your Children Well,” written

by Graham Nash and released that year by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young is strong in the four words of the title. If you aren’t familiar with the song, check out the lyrics online.

Suffice it to say, these are troubling times. It’s difficult enough to comprehend the wickedness on a global level and the ever-present threat of those who consider us the enemy because we are Americans. Worse yet is the hatred some Americans have for the people they should consider their brothers and sisters on this land.

It would seem that it all comes down to those four words: teach your children well. For if you do, the future may be what we want for those generations that will follow.

In closing, if you haven’t seen Ken Burns’ documentary, “The Roosevelts: An Intimate History,” make the time to do so. As always, his extraordinary ability to tell a story is like a magnet. Thanks to PBS, the legacy Theodore, Franklin and Eleanor left behind is revived for generations to come.

October 8, 2014

I have three items for your readers’ review regarding Kim Singhas’ letter in the Oct. 1, 2014 edition of the Mechanicsville Local: 1. Regarding the “accreditation with warning” status at Patrick Henry High School, I would like to say “I told you so.” In 2012, many parents, teachers and I repeatedly asked the [Hanover County] School Board and the [Hanover County] Board of Supervisors to find the revenue to support our schools and the education of my three children.

We were ignored. Reduced scores are the obvious effect of removing 200 teachers from Hanover County Public Schools and giving high school teachers a schedule that removed 90 minutes of time for out of class duties and replaced it with 25 to 30 students. Since then, our time for grading papers, answering parent emails, developing lessons and a host of other responsibilities has been cut to a level that makes it difficult for me to do my job. Did the citizens expect increases in test scores with a smaller workforce that had increased responsibilities? Doing more with less has finally hit a wall. I urge the citizenry to actively bemoan these losses to our system and demand our public officials to do more for our children.

2. HCPS spends about $9,000 a student, less than half of the $20,000 tuition at many private schools. The taxpayer is getting a bargain. Every parent has the right to homeschool their child, but I would first ask them to consider if they are qualified to teach college level math, science, engineering, English and social studies as we do in HCPS with our IB (International Baccalaureate, AP (Advanced Placement) and CTE (Career and Technical Education) programs.

3. I agree with her about taping or streaming all public meetings — especially the 10 a.m. meetings of the JEC (Joint Education Committee). Interesting timing on these.

I do worry about the cost to the taxpayer for providing this service. Perhaps The Mechanicsville Local or HeraldProgress could investigate.

Former Animal Control chief urges support of new officer It’s been a little over a year now since I left the position as chief of Animal Control for Hanover County and there may have been a few people wondering how I am doing after my silent departure from local public safety service.

The answer is “that I still live in my home in the best county and state in the world with the best hard-working people

not far from where I grew up in Hanover Tavern when it was still just Barksdale Theatre.”

If you ask the question why I may have left after almost 21 years as chief. The answer is “It was time for me to grow and move on.”

During the past year I have met some great folks and reacquainted myself with some longstanding and new friends.

It has not all been easy, however, I am doing fine thanks to the support and help of some of these great friends and our fantastic community that is our Hanover County and Ashland; all of them I consider extended family and friends.

My parents taught me years ago the importance of support and loyalty of community and that — along with my faith — was an important key to a good year.

I also want everyone to know that I do appreciate the wonderful experience and will always relish the years spent rebuilding and leading Virginia’s leading Animal Control departments as a national template used worldwide while protecting the area and people I have grown up with all my life.

Now I ask that all the citizens support their new chief of Animal Control, Jeffrey S. Parker. I hired Chief Parker, almost nine years ago as the most intelligent, thoughtful and compassionate individual ever to protect the citizens and their animals of Hanover County and Ashland. His brand of leadership will give individual detailed attention to the concerns of the specialized and critical needs we have as an agricultural and developing suburban animal cultured society.

This chief, like me, grew up in Hanover County and knows its people as true individuals and how we care from everything, including our livestock to our French poodles and all the other living things in between.

Chief Park has many years and challenges ahead, including a young family to care for. I would like to ask for all of us to support him in our community, whether we own animals or not, the same way you did for me and my see LETTERS, pg. 7

Time to quit hiding from bad Our over-educated school leaders in Hanover County have decided to show a film that slants one way in telling the story of 9/11?

It is great the Hanover County Board of Supervisors had pointed questions about its showing, but what came of it? The same typical hot air that comes from the board of supervisors on everything: nothing!

Who does the superintendent of our schools answer to? She isn’t elected so she doesn’t answer to the citizens of Hanover. She answers to the board of supervisors and the school staff answers to her.

I think this is the perfect time to have the peoples’ representatives on our school board, not those who are owed

a political favor by the board of supervisors.

I have heard and seen several comments from the board of supervisors that nothing would be resolved at that meeting.

Yes, there could have been a cease order given by the board of supervisors at the meeting to not show the movie anymore until they could actually prove its educational worth but they couldn’t even get through the movie.

It’s time we quit hiding from problems and bad news — neither get better with time, folks.

constant basis as a direct result.

It is hard to find someone not affected on some personal level by that one event.

There are a lot of hard feelings that surround 9/11 and the subsequent wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. We still have troops in both places and, while the Iraq war supposedly was only recently put behind us, current events seem to be drawing us back in.

The Middle East is a broken place, full of a culture that most of us just cannot reconcile with our own brand of right and wrong nor contemplate with what we know as basic common sense or human rights.

What a lot of us in America do not understand is that outside of our borders many nations view life as cheap.

So why show a video to classes of high school kids containing inflammatory rhetoric against us on this topic?

Whatever drove the teacher to that decision, the end result

was that it was an example of poor judgment. Barring a more insidious purpose behind their actions, it should end there. It is a forgivable mistake and we are all fallible.

Students should not be exposed to the raw opinions of foreign nationals raised within what is a decidedly extreme anti-American environment.

Phrases like “I do not agree with what they did, but ‌â€? in reference to 9/11 requires a very large disclaimer that is not present in that video.

In fact, if the teacher had informed their students of how myopic and hypocritical the anti-American ideology is in the Middle East, it would probably lessen the mistake.

The only remaining problem being that it is still too sensitive an issue and too fresh in our memories for some to watch. Examples being the child or sibling of an OIF/OEF veteran (healthy, wounded or killed), Kurdish, Chaldean, Israeli immigrants or anyone incensed by the all-in-or-death format of religious law that

exists throughout the Middle East.

The real problem, and probably the truly infuriating part of this controversy, was the superintendent’s inability to see the issue inherent in showing this video. Dr. Jamelle Wilson should have yanked it immediately for its indirect propaganda, the controversial beliefs expressed or any number of the issues I have detailed.

An administrator should be someone qualified to see the bigger picture and to make sure what is taught is appropriate. Wrapping garbage under the blanket of “to illicit and provoke a conversation� or “show both sides� is counterproductive to the intent of the educational system. In this particular instance, it is also wholly inappropriate.

Dr. Wilson’s report to the Hanover County Board of Supervisors should have been a reassurance that a mistake was made and that the matter was being looked into to see if the intention of the teacher was an innocent mistake or

some political statement trying to be made. Findings would be disclosed to the Hanover County School Board. It is that simple.

Hanover County has long had a reputation for its outstanding school system. The administrator should be the one able to uphold that tradition of excellence.

Hanover County residents often wear our patriotism on our sleeves. Our patriotism is something important to us even though we are often openly critical of our politicians.

An administrator should be one who understands the feelings of the community Stuart Davis Mechanicsville

Gala, nativities exhibit set for early December

A

Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com

s residents prepare for Christmas, the Church of the Redeemer Catholic Church at 8275 Meadowbridge Road in Mechanicsville will present its 7th Annual Gala and what is described as “museum quality” exhibit of Nativities.

On Friday, Dec. 5, the event gets underway with an adult-only festival with music, heavy hors-oeuvres, wine and a multicultural, unique and ever-changing display of nativities.

It is a party with a purpose.

In addition to socializing, guests will have shopping opportunities; a live and silent auction of theme baskets, with the knowledge that any money spent will help those without shelter to find homes.

According to Sheila Talley of the Church of the Redeemer, the gala and exhibit provide an opportunity to dress up and socialize “that many consider a nice date night.”

Tickets for the event are $20 in advance and $25 at the door.

On Saturday the second phase of the weekend begins with a more peaceful and holy atmosphere in the main exhibit hall.

“Many people choose to quietly and

prayfully view the exhibits,” Talley said.

In the Family and Children’s area there are will be fun- and faith-filled family activities.

“What a great opportunity this is for parents, grandparents, godparents or friends to share this time with their beloved children by making and taking home crafts, participating in the ‘Nativity Hunt’ or posing for a unique family Christmas portrait dressed in available costumes of the Nativity characters,” she added.

On Saturday and Sunday, Dec. 6-7, the cost is $5 for adults and $1 for those under 18.

Over six years, the committee of the weekend event has earned over $65,000, provided six homes in Haiti and benefited Safe Harbor and Mechanicsville Churches Emergency

Functions Emergency Functions (MCEF) housing support, which are Hanover projects, helping Hanover people.

Talley said that they “work tirelessly for months because this is a project very dear to the hearts of many Redeemer Parishioners, some who visit Haiti on a regular basis.”

KATIE CHLAN named Judith O’Connor Scholar

Katie Chlan of Mechanicsville, executive director of HomeAgain, has been selected as one of 15 national 2014 Judith O’Connor Scholars.

The announcement recently was made by BoardSource, a national pro-

vider of resources related to nonprofit boards.

The Judith O’Connor scholarships enable emerging nonprofit leaders to participate in the annual BoardSource Leadership Forum.

The forum, which will be held Oct. 9-10, in Washington, D.C., provides the scholars with opportunities to advance their leadership skills, learn

about progressive practices in good governance, and interact with nonprofit sector leaders from across the country.

The Judith O’Connor Memorial Fund was created to honor the legacy of the late Judith O’Connor, former BoardSource president and chief executive officer.

O’Connor “firmly believed that citizens working together

to address community issues are the very essence of a vibrant, democratic society. She was committed to strengthening the ability of the nonprofit sector to serve as a vehicle for engaging all citizens in civic life. Her passionate advocacy for building effective nonprofit boards touched nonprofit leaders around the world.”

“We are thrilled to have

a wide range of talents and passions reflected in this year’s Scholars,” said Anne Wallestad, BoardSource president and chief executive officer. “This group embodies the very spirit of the scholarship, honors the legacy of Judy, and echoes the theme of BLF 2014 through their bold, dedicated, and deliberate visions for the

should have been decisive. Also, a sentence was omitted. “Look no further than these videos” should have been in the second paragraph. Her letter follows in its entirety. We apologize for the typographical errors.)

The history of Arab animosity towards America and England is deeply rooted in World War I. To rewrite history and indoctrinate children in this way is disturbing to say the least.

We wonder why there is a decline of enrollment in public schools in Hanover County despite population growth: losing students to homeschooling and private education. Look no further than these videos.

The brain drain in Hanover County Public Schools will result in lower test scores if the Hanover County School Board doesn’t take decisive action.

The time has come in Hanover County to elect school board members at

large like the other surrounding counties — and to demand live streaming of county meetings: school board, Hanover County Board of Supervisors and Hanover County Planning Commission.

Patrick Henry High School’s recent accreditation warning from the Virginia Department of Education due to low math scores should serve to signal every citizen and taxpayer in Hanover County. Our children deserve better.

Don’t have children in Hanover schools? Your property values are tied to the schools’ performance. This matter affects every taxpayer.

History and math are apparently not being taught — adequately.

Kim Singhas South Anna

Supervisors commended As a Hanover County resident and as a parent who had

four children attend Hanover County public schools, I want to commend the several members of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors who strongly objected to the showing of the apparently antiAmerican film “Roots of 9-11” that was shown in Hanover County high school history classes near the anniversary date of that unspeakable crime and tragedy that took place on September 11, 2001.

The showing of the film, which board chairman Sean Davis labeled as “trash,” was apparently defended by school superintendent Jamelle Wilson, with her remarks that, “We do want students to be able to listen to a different opinion and draw their own conclusions.”

She noted “It provides multiple viewpoints.”

If only Ms. Wilson had been so tolerant when she voted, as a member of a Hanover County Advisory Committee see LETTERS, pg. 17

This letter is for the parents of students at Hanover High School and Oak Knoll Middle School in Mechanicsville.

I drive a school bus for these schools and for five years bus drivers have been trying to get the school [district] to make things safer for the students who ride our buses.

The most dangerous part of my route is when I get to

Hanover High and make the turn from U.S. 301 into the school. They have a cross-over from Hanover to Oak Knoll that runs right past the bus loop entrance.

They have stop signs for traffic crossing between the two schools but we have had parents, students, faculty and contractors run these stop signs, causing several nearmisses over the years.

They had signs on the entrance off of U.S. 302 saying buses only, and last spring more

signs were put up, saying that it was for buses only between certain times. So imagine our surprise when school started this fall — all signs have been removed.

Seems a parent had gone to the Hanover County School Board and complained about the signs. Net results, signs were taken down!

It’s amazing how some parent thinks their time is more important than the safety of

When her father, President Dack, is held hostage by super

She teams up with the Daring Warriors Against Freaky Superheroes (DWARFS) and discovers

that friendship is the greatest superpower of all.

is not to put false ideas and false ideologies on the same level with the principles on which this country was founded so that students can “draw their own conclusions.” Young minds are very impressionable.

Patriotism, heritage, justice and the practice of virtue must be emphasized, not presented as an option.

Hanover County School Board member Norman Sulser, while opposing the showing of the film again, said in regard to its showing, “That decision

rests with the seven members of the school board.”

Well, parents and Hanoverians at large should have a right to determine who sits on that board and who serves as superintendent.

The Mechanicsville Local has called more than once for the election of school board members. I endorse that call, and I believe most Hanoverians do.

our greatest resource, our children, our future.

Some years ago it was brought up at one of our bus driver meetings about putting up stop lights on U.S. 301 like they have at the fire stations.

We were told that it costs too much, $600,000, and that 3½ busloads of students would have to be killed to warrant the expense.

Let’s see, 64 passenger bus times 3.5 = 224 students divided into 600,000 means that the state figures a student’s life is worth $2,678.57.

Not a matter of if there is an accident — a matter of when and when it does, the first one they will go after is the bus driver.

Our boss had tried to get something done but has no authority over the schools’ policy, just the buses.

We have driver meetings twice a year and it gets mentioned every time. We used to get copies of the minutes of the meeting, but no longer. The last one I got did not mention the bus loop. When I asked why, I was told that it gets mentioned every meeting and it seemed to be repetitious.

Don’t look for anything in

the records, I think they leave it out on purpose.

Don’t know what needs to be done but it seems the National Transportation Safety Board needs to be told what goes on.

I don’t know who designed it or who approved it.

They preach the safety of the students is a priority, but the school board does not seem to think so. Looks like the convenience of some parents is more important than the safety of the students. And if these parents had an accident in the area mentioned, they would be the first ones to sue both the school, the school board and the bus driver.

I know, people will say just leave it, go to another school. I have had some of these students for six years, have enjoyed watching them grow into young adults. And my leaving would not cure the problem.

This letter may cost me my job but I will still try to get the problem fixed!

I don’t want to be the driver of the bus that gets into an accident, in the bus loop or anywhere and I know others don’t want it to be them.

Climate change in news again Hundreds of thousands recently marched throughout the world demanding action on climate change.

One hundred twenty world leaders gathered in New York for the United Nations Summit on Climate Change. What can we do?

A 2006 U.N. report estimated that meat production accounts for 18 percent of man-made greenhouse gases.

A 2009 article in the respected World Watch magazine suggested that the contribution may be closer to 50 percent.

The meat industry generates carbon dioxide by burning forests to create animal pastures and by combustion of fossil fuels to confine, feed, transport and slaughter animals.

The much more damaging methane and nitrous oxide are discharged from digestive tracts of cattle and from animal waste cesspools, respectively.

In an environmentally sustainable world, wind, solar and other pollution-free energy sources must gradually replace polluting fossil fuels.

Hanover Fire-EMS issues smoke alarm reminder Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Working smoke alarms can make a life-saving difference in a fire, according to Hanover Fire-EMS Battalion Chief Jason Williams.

Along with firefighters and safety advocates nationwide, Hanover Fire-EMS is joining forces with the nonprofit National Fire Protection

Association (NFPA) during Fire Prevention Week, which began Monday, Oct. 5, and runs through Saturday, Oct. 11, to remind local residents about the importance of having working smoke alarms in the home and testing them monthly.

According to NFPA research, working smoke alarms cut the chance of dying in a fire in half.

Meanwhile, almost two-thirds of

home fire deaths resulted from fires in homes with no smoke alarms or no working smoke alarms.

“A working smoke alarm can help you and your family escape a deadly fire. It can also help to save the lives of firefighters who would otherwise have to risk their lives by searching a burning home for occupants,” Williams said. “In a fire, seconds count. Roughly half of home

fire deaths result from fires reported at night between 11 p.m. and 7 a.m. when most people are asleep. Home smoke alarms can alert people to a fire before it spreads, giving everyone enough time to get out.”

This year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign includes the following smoke alarm tips: Install smoke alarms in every bedroom, outside each separate sleep-

ing area and on every level of the home, including the basement.

Interconnect all smoke alarms throughout the home. This way, when one sounds, they all do.

Test alarms at least monthly by pushing the test button.

Replace all smoke alarms when they are 10 years old or sooner if they see FIRE-EMS, pg. 26

Emergencies and disasters are an inescapable part of life, but emergency personnel hope a group of local residents will now be better prepared if one happens.

On Saturday, Sept. 27, Central Virginia Emergency Management Alliance offered a Survivor Day seminar at 11 locations around the region designed to give residents of Central Virginia advice on how to survive if worse really does come to worse.

Local emergency workers and law enforcement spoke to residents about everything from preparing emergency kits to making homes safer to surviving without power for anywhere from hours to weeks.

Preparation is key While some disasters are hard to predict, there are certain steps people can take to prepare their families that stretch across many kinds of emergencies.

Disaster pack. Some good basics to start with include a first aid kit, flashlights, a battery-operated radio, different sizes of spare batteries, road flares, an emergency survival blanket, ponchos, face masks, a tarp, water storage bags, food and protective work gloves.

A disaster pack can be personalized for an individual by including important documents, emergency contact information, prescription medication for 72 hours or more, and other items each person would need on hand immediately.

Emergency food supply kit. Water is the most important part of this kit. Calculate that you need one gallon per person, per day. Children, nursing mothers and the elderly require more. For each person in the family, include a minimum of one balanced meal per day and two snacks. Choose foods that are non-perishable, require little or no water for cooking, and are dense, such as nuts, food bars, trail mixes and single serving sized canned meats, fruits and vegetables.

(Don’t forget the can opener).

Food should be swapped out every six months, which means eating the food in the

28

month to celebrate 25 years of providing concert music to the community and the metro Richmond area.

Members will join with the Masterworks Chorale of Ashland in a special concert at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct.

kit and replacing it with new items. Food and water should be stored in a cool, dry place away from toxic chemicals and direct sunlight.

These two kits combined and with a few additions make a “dine-in kit,” meaning items a family needs to survive at least 72 hours in their own home.

Because power outages might be an issue, it is a good idea to include forms of entertainment for the family that don’t require electricity, including games, activity books, cards and books.

If forced to leave their homes, people might consider a “take-out kit.”

Take-out kit. Keep mobility in mind. Go for high calorie, non-perishable foods that don’t need preparation.

Also take along copies of important documents such as deeds, birth certificates, wills, insurance policies and identification; at least one change of clothes per person; cash in small denominations; important prescriptions and glasses, and cell phone chargers and extra batteries.

Other precautions to keep in mind: With all of these kits, don’t forget to make plans for any pets you have, keeping in mind necessities such as food and water for the animal, a pet carrier or crate, a collar and leash, and toys and treats.

For people who know a storm is coming – a hurricane, snow storm, etc. – prepare by filling a bathtub with water in case there is an outage in electric service.

Admission is free, but the band asks those attending to bring two non-perishable food items that will be donated

Store-bought water is still the best for drinking purposes. When making your own water storage containers, use ones that say PETE (polyethylene terephthalate) on the bottom, not used milk or juice containers, to avoid contamination. Clean them by adding one teaspoon of nonscented bleach to a quart of water, swishing around inside, letting it sit, and then rinsing.

Fill with chlorinated water to the top.

drills during the day and at night to prepare for either situation.

Disasters can’t always be prevented, but certain steps a family takes can increase their chances of surviving.

Have smoke detectors that have the batteries checked once a month and changed twice a year.

Carbon monoxide detectors are a good idea for people with woodstoves, fireplaces, gas fireplaces and generators. Keep a three-foot clearance around all heat sources.

Don’t use candles in emergencies. Get batteryoperated flashlights instead.

However, if that is all you have, never leave them unattended and keep proper spacing around them.

Have a family exit plan and meeting location. If separated, family members should know multiple ways out of the home and have a central location where they meet. This prevents people from going back into a dangerous situation to save somebody who is already out of harm. Practice

Atlee holds off Hawks’ 4th-quarter charge

By Chip Knighton For The Mechanicsville Local Both teams in Friday night’s Hanover County grudge match between Atlee and Hanover could point to key injuries and avoidable mistakes.

The Raiders were just a little better at moving past them.

Visiting Atlee made a key stop late in the fourth quarter to extinguish a potential tying drive from Hanover and secure a 27-20 victory.

The Raiders (4-1), coming off their first loss of the season last week at Henrico, led by 20 points after Brandon Crosby’s touchdown on the first play of the fourth quarter. Hanover struck back with two touchdowns from backup quarterback Marcus Bazala, but Atlee held firm on a key fourth down to win.

The Hawks (3-2) got to the Atlee 34 on the potential tying drive before Atlee linebacker Chalin Fairly sacked Bazala to set up third and 10. After a short gain on third down, Bazala attempted to scramble for the first down, but Chad Vanlandingham got low to stop him with three minutes remaining and Atlee got the ball back for the last time.

“The fourth quarter was a typical rivalry game,” said Atlee coach Roscoe Johnson. “Our kids had to step it up. Hanover came back and they wanted it,

St. Christopher’s in the summer. “Having Ricky is a bigtime bonus, but they can play without him. They played hard tonight and stepped it up.”

Atlee ended the first half going backward from first and goal and failed to score when Ethan Ratke’s field-goal attempt was off the mark. Any small amount of momentum Hanover got from that sequence was extinguished when Atlee’s Ja’Qui Givens took the secondhalf kickoff, got to the outside and outran the Hawks’ kickoff team for a 90-yard touchdown.

The Raiders added another touchdown to go up 27-7 when Rasharrd Harris found a wideopen Crosby for a 22-yard score on the first play of the fourth quarter. After Alex Dillard intercepted a Harris screen pass, Bazala took matters into his own hands, escaping a Jake Benson tackle to score from 10 yards out, then scrambling for a 27-yard score one play after Ryan Mallory recovered an onside kick.

“He stepped in and played his heart out,” said Hanover coach Derek Stoudt. “He made a few plays for us to keep us within striking distance.”

Henrico starts slow, but runs over Lee-Davis

By Josiah Turner For The Mechanicsville Local A big second half by the Henrico offense overcame a sluggish start as the poised Warriors, ranked, No. 5 in the Times-Dispatch prep football poll, overran host Lee-Davis 28-7 Friday night.

A bit homecoming crowed loudly cheered on the Confederates throughout the night as they stayed competitive for the majority of the game.

“Lee-Davis is a very good team, we tried hard to do our things, and they tried hard to stop us from doing our things,” said Henrico coach Gerald Glasco.

Both teams were sluggish in the first half. The only score before intermission came after a bobbled punt by Lee-Davis, which gave the Warriors the ball at the Confederates’ 10-yard line. Two plays later, Warriors quarterback Andre Taylor Jr. scampered in for a 1-yard touchdown run.

On the opening possession of the second half, the Confederates answered by putting together a 12-play drive, ending in a touchdown by sophomore running back Nathan Evans — tieing the score at 7. It was the first touchdown surrendered by the Henrico defense all season.

But, after a sluggish start, Henrico returned from halftime and proved why they were an undefeated team On the very next drive, Taylor connected with Jamon Hopkins for a 50-yard touchdown pass, giving Henrico a 14-7 lead.

“We came out of the half pumped up and amped to go,” said Taylor. “Because we know we played a bad first half, but we got things together in the second half.”

Two Henrico drives later —

after a 42-yard pass by Taylor to Kobe Chavis — Hopkins scored once again, this time on a 9yard run to give the Warriors a 21-7 lead in the fourth quarter.

The Confederates then went

The Mechanicsville Local

into desperation mode.

On their next possession, quarterback Brandon Sulser was picked off by Henrico cornerback D.J. Scott, who took it back for a score and put the

game out of reach for the hosts.

“No, we didn’t play the game we wanted to play, but most important part — what’s important now — is we got the win,” Glasco said.

Henrico is now 5-0, and are coming off two back-to-back victories over Hanover county schools — the Warriors upset Atlee the week before. They are one victory away from their first winning season since 2005.

“It’s been a while since Henrico has been 4-0, even longer since they’ve been 5-0,” Glasco said. “We appreciate that. We worked hard to get that way.”

Glasco is not surprised by the success of his team in the first half of the season.

“We expected to give a per-

fect effort on every play. If the results were wins and victories in the scorebook, that’s what we expected,” Glasco said. “Of course we go out every week — just like every other coach in the country — to win the game, and yeah, we expect to win.”

Lee-Davis has now dropped to 1-4. Coach Ryan Turnage was noticeably disappointed after the loss.

“Execution in all three phases of the game — It ain’t just one side,” said Turnage. “We’ve just got to keep getting better.”

The Confederates have a young roster, but many of their key players are seniors. After making a postseason run last year, Lee-Davis now faces an uphill battle with the second half of the season approaching.

As far as Henrico is concerned, it’s back to work. “[We will] keep working hard and practice so we can go 6-0,” said Taylor.

Henrico will host the Hanover Hawks (3-2) Friday, while Lee-Davis travels to Glen Allen (1-4) to face the Jaguars.

Raiders’ girl, boy runners dominate home turf

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Atlee’s senior cross country runners came out in force Wednesday to defend the Raiders’ turf on their final race at home.

They defended it well. Six of the top seven girls who crossed the finish line were Raiders, as was most of the top 10 in the boys’ race, as Atlee swept the competition.

Atlee cross country coach Jim Triemplar downplayed the magnitude of the sweep.

“We ran most of our top runners, and a couple of the other teams obviously did not,” Triemplar said. “That’s the way these Wednesday meets go.

Sometimes you run your best combination and sometimes you sit some people out as you might have a tough invitational coming up.”

Both individual winners were Raiders: Chloe Bavin handily won the girls’ race and Tre Fields won the boys’. Bavin said it wasn’t important that she won the race — just as long as someone from Atlee finished first.

“It’s our home course. We want to defend it,” Bavin said.

“Anyone on my team could have won it and it would have been the exact same [feeling].”

Most of the Atlee’s top finishers came in close together. While finishing in a pack is important for a team’s overall score, Bavin said they had other reasons for keeping tight as a group.

“We had a couple of runners we needed to pace because we wanted to get one of our runners under 20 minutes,” Bavin said. “Pack running is good — it’s beneficial — but if you’re having a good day you definitely need to go out and not run with the pack.”

Henrico’s Ashley Brown was the only non-Atlee runner

to finish among the top seven.

She finished second, but felt her time could have been better.

“I felt pretty good,” Brown said. “I wish [my time] was a little bit lower, but overall, I was pretty happy with it.”

She said her only plan was to be near the front.

“I didn’t really have a strategy,” Brown said. “I was just hoping to be [near] the top couple of people and stay with them the whole time.”

Fields felt his time could be better, but said his asthma was acting up.

“I had an OK race,’ Fields

said. “I didn’t have my asthma medicine and I was tightening up around my second mile and tried to push it all the way through to the finish. … [My time] was all right, not as good as I thought it was going to be. I was striving to do better.”

Lee-Davis boys’ team had a strong top-three finish with Atlee and Glen Allen despite giving some of its top runners a break.

“We sat a few of our top guys out, but we were running some guys who … were looking to see who could be in the top seven,” said Lee-Davis cross country coach Joey Wingo. “So we ran pretty well today.”

Atlee, King William golfers advance to regionals

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Region golf tournaments began Monday, and two area schools, Atlee and King William, were both well represented as the 2014 Virginia High School League golf season nears its end.

All of the region golf tournaments were completed after this edition went to press.

Atlee finished third in the Conference 11 tournament last week at Belmont Golf Course, so missed the chance to send its full team to the Region 5A South tournament at The Hamptons in Hampton Monday and Tuesday, but still had four of its golfers qualify to advance as individuals.

The Cavaliers — as a result of finishing second in the Conference 33 tournament at Kiskiack Golf Club in Williamsburg two weeks ago — sent all of its top six golfers to the Region 2A East tournament Monday and Tuesday at Heritage Oaks in Harrisonburg.

Atlee golf couch Jamie Edwards felt the Raiders had a chance at a second-place finish behind Conference 11 winner Mills Godwin, but some of his golfers stumbled a bit and finished behind Deep Run instead.

“I knew Mills Godwin was going to be very, very difficult to compete against because of … [Conference 11 individual medalist] Mark Lawrence,” Edwards said. “Honestly, I thought that maybe we could beat Deep Run because we tied them when we played them at The Crossings.”

While the Raiders got good scores from Levi Brizendine (74), Erica Whitehouse (76), Matthew Sweeney (80) and Garrett Palmer (82), they could not match the performance of the Wildcats, who had five golf-

ference tournament],” Edwards said. “Am I disappointed that I got four in the regionals? No. I’m happy for those kids.”

While Edwards thinks his golfers have a chance at advanc-

ing to the Group 5A state tournament, they have quite a challenge to through the increasingly tough postseason competition.

“The competition goes up exponentially now. Everyone there’s going to be very good,” Edwards said. “We’ll see teams we haven’t seen at all — ever.

There’s going to be a lot of unfamiliar faces. In the old regionals, it was all the same golfers.

We [would have] played them last week. … But looking at my four, I’ve got some golfers that, if they play well, play within their game and stay focused — all the yadda, yadda stuff that coaches say to their players — they can move on.”

King William golf coach Jay Blanton said the weather was miserable during the Conference 33 tourney — so much so that they shortened the match from 18 holes to nine — but his golfers were unfazed

by the conditions, finishing second to winner Maggie L. Walker Governor’s School by a stroke, 179-180.

“It was really wet. It pretty much started pouring about 30 minutes after we got out there, so it was pretty nasty,” Blanton.

“With the way that the conditions were, I knew the scores were going to be a little higher.

I thought our guys did a pretty good job of battling through it.”

Mark Adams and Noah Stephens have been the Cavaliers’ top golfers this season. Adams was the individual medalist in the Conference 33 tournament with a round of 39, sinking a 20-foot putt on the last hole for a birdie and an under-40 finish — no mean feat against a tough Green Dragons team.

“He was definitely the better golfer,” Blanton said. “[Maggie Walker] had six kids who could all shoot in the 40s. Their No.

six kid shot a 45, and their number four shot a 44. … It says a lot about the consistency of their team.”

The efforts of the Cavaliers’ top two golfers have been buoyed by the play of a solid supporting cast.

“It seems like throughout our season that whenever we’ve had matches, we’ve had different guys step up,” Blanton said.

“It seems like it’s been like that all year. When somebody has a bad round, somebody else steps up.”

While King William has achieved its goal of making the region tournament, Blanton said it will be a lot tougher for the team as a whole to advance to the state tournament as, with the changes under VHSL realignment, fewer teams advance from the region to the state tournament, which will be see GOLFERS, pg. 33

Smart play helps Raiders outlast Confederates

By Monica Hunsaker For The Mechanicsville Local Both Atlee and Lee-Davis played hard when the two boys’ volleyball teams met on the Confederates’ home court Thursday night. But Atlee played smarter, overcoming a loss in the first game to take the 3-1 Conference 11 victory.

“We were a little full of ourselves in the beginning, but we came out in the second game and settled down and played better,” said Atlee coach Nick Robinson.

Eric Rohr keyed Atlee’s victory with 17 kills and two blocks.

Teammate Jeremy Eye also had 15 kills, and Owen Ward had 51 assists and two aces.

Lee-Davis coach Nick Brown credits Eye and Rohr for beating his team.

“We played a really good team tonight, particularly Jeremy Eye and Eric Rohr,” Brown said. “[Rohr] is probably the smartest player we’ve seen.”

Though they lost the final three games, Lee-Davis played well and put up a good fight.

All but one of the games was decided by a margin of five points or less.

“Every game we’re getting better,” Brown said. “This is something we can build on going forward.”

Lee-Davis relied heavily on Lance Marshall and their captain, Jordan Lafferty.

Both seniors had 14 kills, while Marshall also had four blocks.

“Lafferty carries our defense every night,” Brown said. “And [Marshall] being a a guy we know we can set and we know he’s always going to put a good swing on it, gives us a really good one-two punch that should carry us throughout the season.”

Brown believes Lee-Davis can learn from the mistakes it made Thursday to turn things

around and win games. Brown noted that they were out of position defensively – an issue that he says the team has been struggling with for a while and have yet to master, but are working on intensely in practice. He also said that his team needed to play smarter all around.

“Our goal is to be competitive and we are building towards that,” Brown said. “We’re getting better each and every game and getting closer to that goal.”

Lafferty’s disappointment from the loss was visible.

“It’s always tough losing a conference game; especially to Atlee, who’s a big rival,” Lafferty said.

He said he will help his team recover from the loss. As the captain he is expected to provide his team with a lot of the motivation they need to win their next game.

“My plan is to keep everyone focused,” Lafferty said. “We have a lot of tough games this season.”

Atlee started this season sluggish, but has been working hard to get better, especially as the Raiders get deeper into the challenging Conference 11 schedule.

“We started the season slow and were humbled by that,” Robinson said. “I think it helped us.”

Local bodybuilder aims for Olympian stage

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Nearly three years ago, Andrea Beam, a dental hygienist at Marks Family Dentistry in Mechanicsville, was getting a bad case of cabin fever.

It was January 2012. Beam — a woman used to an active life — was in the middle of a three-month-long recovery from back surgery. She desperately wanted something to do, but was stuck shuttling between brief physical therapy sessions and longer sessions of surfing the Web from home.

But one of those Websurfing sessions changed her life. While Beam was surfing, she came across a photo of Nicole Wilkins, a four-time International Federation of Bodybuilders Figure Olympia champion and three-time IFBB Figure International champion.

The photo of Wilkins ignited an interest that grew into what Beam calls an “obsession.”

Within three months, Beam — against her surgeon’s preferred advice, but with her physical therapist’s skilled plan — began to lift weights using a workout designed to avoid re-injuring her back. In August, little more than two years later, she won an IFBB North American championship in Pittsburg in the Bikini Masters’ Over 35 Class C and earned her IFBB pro card.

“I came across a picture of this girl,” Beam said. “I didn’t know who she was — anything about her. So I dug a little deeper and I found out that she was a competitor. That led me to the site Bodybuilding.com, and I just kept digging deeper and deeper and found out there were different divisions you could compete in. And then I figured out I needed a coach because this was something I wanted to try.”

By April 1 of that year, Beam

had a coach and an exercise plan. By October, she was competing. One weekend, in an Organization of Competitive Bodybuilding contest, she won every class she competed in.

The next weekend, in a National Physique Committee contest, she came in close to last in every class she competed in.

Beam decided to forget the OCB (and the pro card she had earned in that organization) and concentrate on NPC — the amateur stepping-stone to the professional IFBB — competitions exclusively. She sought tougher competition.

Beam trains locally at least six days a week, doing weightlifting exercises geared toward one muscle group each day and a cardio workout every day.

mail with her second coach, Mike Davies, owner of the Fitness Factory in Columbus, Ohio. She sends him photos, he sends her detailed exercise and diet plans.

Beam said that diet — which becomes more restrictive in the three or four weeks prior to a competition — is probably the most important aspect of her training regimen.

“Diet is 80 percent of it,” Beam said. “As you diet down for a competition, a lot of that [muscle definition] becomes more evident. … You just want to tighten it up and give it your best.”

She eats several small meals and snacks each day. The diet is low on fats and sugars and high on proteins, whole grains and fruits and vegetables.

“I eat the same thing every

day,” Beam said. “And then I’ll take new pics, send them to [Davies], and he’ll change the diet again. So he might restrict my calories a little more. He might alter the carbs and proteins and fats and all that. It’s based on what he sees when I send him pictures.”

Beam competes in the bikini category. It is a softer look that emphasizes muscle definition

over muscle bulk.

“It’s a fit look, but it’s the softest look,” Beam said. “If you were on the beach walking down the strip … you’d look just a little more awe-inspiring.”

The 39-year-old competes in groups subdivided by age and height. While bodybuilding used to be a sport geared toward youth, now age is no obstacle. Beam said she’ll keep
