Crisis Center opens at Memorial Regional Unit will assist deputies with evaluations By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local
I
t’s a new day for mental health services in Hanover County. Health department officials, county government leaders, Bon Secours administrators and interested citizens gathered last week at Memorial Regional Medical Center in Mechanicsville to cut the ribbon on a new mental health Crisis Intervention Center located at the hospital. The center is one of only three such units located in Central Virginia. Bon Secours senior vice president Michael Robinson said the Hanover facility would serve as a model for other localities in the state. The facility will offer mental health patients emergency services seven days
a week 10 hours a day from 12 p.m. to 10 p.m. The facility was funded through a state grant from the Department of Behavioral Health and Development Services in the amount of almost $452,000. The unit will be staffed by one Hanover County deputy trained in mental health services, a crisis technician and a part-time peer specialist. Hospital medical staff also will be available. The project, a partnership between Bon Secours, the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office and the Hanover Community Services Board, will provide law enforcement with a safe location to transport patients who require mental health evaluations.

OPINION | The Local Views
Fall’s simple pleasure too good to miss
From the editor
Christmas Mother to be announced soon Who will she be? Well, the question of the identity of the 2014 Hanover Christmas Mother will be answered on Thursday, Oct. 23. Yes, it’s already time to start planning and preparing to ensure a memorable and Merry Christmas for our friends and neighbors throughout Hanover County. And, thanks to the support of the county’s Ruritan clubs, the holiday season is brighter for many. The Doswell Ruritan Club has served as the primary on this annual project for those in need. Iris DeFord, one of the organizers of the tea to announce this year’s Christmas Mother, contacted us last week to note an error in the invitation that was sent to those women who previously held the title. Unfortunately, and she was most apologetic, the invitation lists the date as Wednesday, Oct. 23, when it should read Thursday, Oct. 23. What Mrs. DeFord needs now is for Mechanicsville-area women who have served as the Christmas Mother to contact her. She wants to inform all those involved with the program through the years of the misprint in the invitation. She can be reached at 804-876-3526. The tea is an exciting and lovely event, held at Pebble Hill, the home of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Flippo at 16353 Washington Highway in Doswell. We have RSVP’d and look forward to taking part in the announcement and reminiscing with the Christmas Mothers through the years at the tea. While we eagerly await the big announcement, we can get ready to support the program and its fine works in our community. And, as always, you can expect the Christmas Mother to be visible throughout the holiday season. On this side of Hanover County, you can count on her to participate in the Mechanicsville Christmas Parade. She also will be making the rounds talking to church and civic groups about the need in our county and how we all can make a difference. Again, we want to make sure young and old are able to celebrate and enjoy Christmas in the most delightful and memorable way. For all you do to support the ongoing good works of the Ruritans, thank you. It does take a village for everyone to succeed. Melody Kinser

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist It’s hard to describe carving a pumpkin to someone who has never had the pleasure, but, suffice it to say, it’s not brain surgery. And it’s not the most physically pleasant of experiences, sticking your hands inside a seed-filled mass of membrane and slowly scraping it clean. As a father, it’s one of the many experiences we sometimes take for
granted, but the act of carving a pumpkin with young children is a special memory for me. It’s one of the little things that remind me how special those small moments in life can be, and gliding over them means we are somehow moving too fast. Like other special childhood memories, their continuance is threatened by something we all face: the ever-progressing march of time. We seldom realize the finite nature of these special moments, never real-
ize as we struggle to quietly assemble toys on Christmas that this pleasure is only temporary, as our children grow older. And carving a pumpkin could be placed on the same endangered list at my house. Only two of my children plan to trick or treat this year, a sad realization that the innocence of youth is fleeting. But, the tradition of All Hollow’s Eve will continue as my twins get see PLEASURE, pg. 7

Honoring those who earn the patch
Lancaster and Terry Russell in Goochland.
Thirteen deputies have joined the ranks of sworn officers in Hanover and Goochland counties to serve the public. Nearly a year ago, these dedicated souls began their journey with the rigorous application process, then six months of law enforcement academy training, then three months of field training to arrive at this date. At Academy Graduation in late June, the officers were challenged to become a part of, not apart from, our community. They were challenged to become role models, accepting a higher expectation of positive behavior, restraint, and citizenship. They were challenged to swallow their fear and run to the danger, not away from it. During field training, they were challenged to perform their sworn duty safely, effectively and efficiently. Not too many of us would want to trade places: arise each day before work and don a bulletproof vest just to go to work. Think about the goodbye kiss at the door. For them, more so than us, it may be a life altering occasion. Think about the blue lights and the uniforms as less of a heart-pounding scare, more of a brave and crucial response to our needs. Think about the skill needed to wrestle a criminal bent on destructive acts balanced with that needed to deliver a newborn or comfort a lost child.

tees. But, it won’t diminish the memories that fall into that special folder in your mind where you cherish your children’s’ youth. I have a distinct recollection in my mind of selecting and carving pumpkins with my father. I still employ the same method, perform the same steps and end up with the same goofy jack-o-lantern. He was more meticulous than me, but equally as involved
in our excitement as I am when my children marveled at the final product when they were younger. I suppose they thought — as I had years earlier — that that pumpkin was the best one ever. There’s rarely a day that passes that I don’t utilize something I learned from my father. Although I lost him at an early point in my youth, his influence continues to inspire and
guide me. And, it’s those little things like carving a pumpkin that placed the seeds of lessons later learned, like how to be a good father. Those thoughts will be on my mind as we prepare for our final trip through the darkened streets collecting candy from strangers. As we light the pumpkin on the way out, I’ll give him a nod of thanks.

The Ensigns taught at the Presbyterian School of Christian Education in both camping and, for her, Christian Art. He served on the national board of the American Camping Association, which set the health and safety standards for youth camping. Stephen Ensign said that everyone who met his father remembers his active conversational style and encyclopedic memory. After retiring and moving into Richmond, Mrs. Ensign continued her career as an artist until her death in 2008. She and her husband traveled in the winter, especially to Sanibel Island, where they spent longer and longer times in the sun walking the beaches and collecting shells. Rev. Ensign was a master story teller of the Southern style, “best heard around an open fire.” He is survived by four children: Jacque Ensign, Martha Ensign Johnson (Don), Stephen Ensign (Corbin) and Josephine Ensign. He also is survived by nine grandchildren and four great-grandchildren: (Nathan and Calla Williamson and son Tucker, Ryan and Laurel Williamson, Rachel Williamson, Isaac and Anna Johnson and daughters Elise and Luca, Luke and Kelly Johnson, Elizabeth and Jeff Camozzi and daughter Ella, Julian Reese and Sarah Ensign, Perry Ensign and Jonathan Bowdler). In lieu of flowers, memorials can be given to the Camp Hanover Scholarship Fund or Ginter Park Presbyterian Church.

A minister who was instrumental in the success of Camp Hanover died earlier this month following what his son described as “a long battle with congestive heart failure.” The Rev. John Edward Ensign died on Oct. 6. He was born June 4, 1923, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, a son of the late John and Helen Ensign. He was the eldest of three brothers. James and Charles preceded him in death. After graduating from Chattanooga Central High School in 1942, Ensign joined the U.S. Navy as a V-12 officer candidate during World War II. Following the war, he graduated from Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia, and then entered Union Theological Seminary in New York to study for the ministry. During seminary, Ensign met Ruth Singley, an art student at Temple Tyler. They married in 1946. Following seminary, Ensign served at the Presbyterian Church in New Hope, North Carolina, and helped build a Church Camp on the adjacent grounds. In 1956, the Ensigns were asked by the Presbyterian denomination to build a progressive camp in Hanover Presbytery to make integrated camping a reality. Camp Hanover became their life’s work. With the support of the Presbytery and many individuals, Camp Hanover was built on a 78-acre site, which Rev. Ensign grew close to 600 acres near Mechanicsville. The camp was so successful that the Ensigns wrote a seminal book on Christian camping called “Camping Together as
Christians” (1967), which became a standard manual for Christian camps around the country. Stephen Ensign said his parents brought to Mechanicsville a camp that was “racially and economically innovative in that no money could be used while at camp, creating an atmosphere where all campers were equal.

Reading the item on the 9/11 film shown to students in the Oct. 1, 2014, edition of The Mechanicsville Local, and especially Hanover County Board of Supervisors members Sean Davis and Canova Peterson’s response to it, reminded me of
the old saw that there are three sides to every story: his, hers and the truth. If there’s anything we should give our children, it’s the truth — all sides, not just his or hers — to enable them with the tools and information to make up their own minds about the world around them. That’s the ultimate definition of “freedom”, and Jim Ridolphi’s piece in the same issue covers some of these themes as well. Unlike Jim, though, I’m far from willing to give respect to viewpoints that wrap themselves in faux “patriotism” to affect political marketing. Making up one’s own mind about things is terrifying to conservatives like the mentioned supervisors, who would far prefer to indoctrinate our children with a certain “exceptional” viewpoint about our nation’s history and actions and sweep under the rug any opposing viewpoints or contrary information. That’s not only intolerable, it’s anti-patriotic: a well-educated, well-informed, thinking, forward-looking electorate is the best guarantee we have for the continued success of our

country, while turning kids into brainwashed, backwards-looking sheeple is all but guaranteed to destroy us. Take supervisor Peterson, for example, who was “offended” at the information being provided to kids and claimed his military service as an excuse for being so, or supervisor Davis who decried as “trash” unsuitable for showing American students any information contrary to the standard right-wing Christiancentric (and historically inaccurate) world view to which they cling. The only thing conservatives love to do more than flaunt their “patriotism” is feign offense at every little thing that doesn’t match that world view. Blatant racial and religious bigotry, mindless attempts to censor views that don’t match one’s own, and desire to follow a political doctrine instead of providing a well-rounded education to our children, are incredibly offensive to me, sir. But the Constitution doesn’t protect any of us from being offended, nor does it limit it to only those of us who served. So take your offense elsewhere and start thinking about the best interests of the kids — and, no, conforming to your narrow beliefs is not in their best interests even if it is in yours. Our children deserve the very best we can give them, including as complete, fair and impartial an education as can possibly be provided — and

Scouts help Kersey Creek keep improving on ‘green’ works
Photos submitted by Krista Loucas
On Saturday, Oct. 4, Maxwell Coe and Boy Scout Troop 555 came to Kersey Creek Elementary School and installed gutters on the shed for use with the rain barrel, which was donated by FabScapes. KCES is a “green” school with L.E.E.D. certification. According to Krista Loucas, using the rain barrel to irrigate their garden will help in cutting their water usage. Maxwell, who is working towards receiving Eagle Scout recognition also made two garden benches and installed a canopy to shade the school’s garden lesson area. The poles were donated by the Ashland Home Depot. The garden lessons recently kicked off with the kindergartners planting gourds, the first graders planting kale and learning the parts of plants. Second graders, who are busy studying Native American culture, made maple leaf prints using an old Native American technique for dying fabrics. Third graders will plant winter wheat and compare the topography of Greece versus the United States. The fourth graders will begin their Colonial garden and kick off with a scavenger hunt to identify plants. Loucas added, “There is so much happening at Kersey Creek. We are so lucky to live in such a wonderful community as Mechanicsville. Thanks to all our partners.” These photos show the scouts working, with the finished project and flowers on the site.

LETTERS
Whether you are aware of it or not, there is already a strong phobia of Islam in our country. So many people only see the radical extremists that the media covers. Islam is not a religion of world domination and persecution as the author alludes to. Islam is a peaceful
religion. I have many Muslim friends and acquaintances who will attest to that. When you publish letters such as the letter in question, you contribute to the misunderstanding, fear and hatred. I grew up here in Mechanicsville and I want to raise my family here.
However, I want them to grow up in an atmosphere that promotes love and tolerance. Going forward I ask that you use more discretion when deciding which letters to publish. William M Wood Jr. Mechanicsville

Board. Supervisors Aubrey Stanley, Beaverdam District, and Wayne Hazzard, South Anna District, joined school board representatives Sue Dibble, South Anna, and John Axselle, Beaverdam, as each presented a short summary of current issues confronting their respective boards. Stanley noted some significant and pending zoning cases and stressed the importance of a workable Comprehensive Plan. He explained his no vote for the current plan, citing its failure to recognize that multi-family development in other parts of the county can affect his constituents in
ous maintenance projects that have been completed since she took her school board seat 14 months ago. Dale Taylor questioned the panel regarding low math Standards of Learning (SOL) scores at Patrick Henry High School. Dibble said the board is not waiting for next year’s results to recognize improvement. “We are monitoring those classes weekly,” she said. In an effort to raise the scores that resulted in a conditional accreditation for the school, the county has hired two new math teachers and segmented Algebra I into two parts, allowing students who do not master part one to repeat it
the following semester. Axselle explained the working relationship between the two boards, legally separate but functioning in an atmosphere of cooperation and common concern. He said he and Stanley speak several times a week, and the relationship between the boards is ongoing. “We have a tradition of working together. You can’t just meet once a year at budget time. There is open dialogue between the two of us,” Axselle said. Axselle also addressed the problems at Patrick Henry and said 50 students out of 1,400 fell short of the SOL math mark, resulting in the provisional score. He noted that those math scores are on the rise. “We’re not happy with it and we’re going to put resources towards solving it,” he said. Kim Singhas questioned the panel regarding school vaccinations and, more specifically, are children from other countries required to have them in order to attend Hanover County Public Schools. There are only eight unaccompanied minors in Hanover schools and all have received vaccinations. Singhas asked if those doses included multiple series of shots or a single catch-up shot. Superintendent Jamelle Wilson said about 100 students in Hanover attend school without receiving vaccinations due to medical or religious reasons. Citizens also raised the question of lack of high speed Internet in rural areas of the county, including Montpelier. Business owners in those areas are often challenged with slow speeds and intermittent service. Stanley said a committee formed to study that issue
met and finally disbanded with few answers. Stanley said it came down to an issue of the number of users required to gain access. “There were not enough people to pay for it,” he said. “I do think it’s important that we have high speed Internet and I’m willing to take another
look at it.” Singhas also quizzed the supervisors on a recent proposal to live stream public meetings in Hanover County. Stanley and Hazzard both expressed interest in researching the idea, but made no commitment of support. “We are willing to talk
and be educated on this,” Hazzard said. Another citizen asked the supervisors how much money had been removed from funds allotted for schools to rejuvenate other county projects. Hazzard had a short answer: “None.”

SpookieFun Fest USDA’s Farm Service Agency offers Farm Bill website and online overview seeks community By Ken Upshaw County executive director
T
he Agricultural Act of 2014 (the Act), also known as the 2014 Farm Bill, was signed by President Obama on Feb. 7. The Act repeals certain programs,
continues some programs with modi¬fications, and authorizes several new programs administered by the Farm Service Agency (FSA). Most of these programs are authorized and funded through 2018. For the latest on 2014 Farm Bill programs administered by FSA, visit the Farm Bill website at www.fsa.usda.
gov/farmbill and, for an FSA program overview, read, download and/or print the recently posted FSA Farm Bill Fact Sheet titled “What’s in the 2014 Farm Bill for Farm Service Agency Customers?” For more information on FSA, contact your local USDA Service Center or visit www.fsa.usda.gov.
Farm Bill allows early termination for certain CRP contracts USDA Farm Service Agency reminds producers that, as of Aug. 6, producers with acres under contract through the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) can apply for early contract termination, as required by the 2014 Farm Bill. The deadline to request early CRP contract termination is Jan. 30, 2015. The effective date for early termination is no earlier than Oct. 1, 2014. The CRP contract must been in effect
for at least five years and other conditions must be met. The 2014 Farm Bill identifies 10 exceptions whereby land will not be eligible for the early-out provisions. For a complete list of these exceptions, view the program fact sheet online at http://www.fsa.usda.gov/Internet/ FSA_File/crp_opt_out_fact_sht.pdf Once a CRP contract termination request is approved by the FSA County Committee, the decision cannot be
reversed and the contract cannot be reinstated. Producers must meet conservation compliance provisions for all land that will be returned to production. For more information on or to determine eligibility for early termination of existing CRP contracts, contact your local FSA office.

County offers a Land Use Taxation Program horticultural and open space and 20 acres for forest use. Property that has been zoned Rural Conservation (RC) also can qualify for the Land Use program. If the land use is changed, the tax reduction must be repaid with simple interest for the current tax year and potentially up to the previous five tax years. In November 2013, the Hanover County Board of Supervisors modified the program to allow property rezoned for specified, more intense uses to remain eligible for land use. Under this change, property rezoned for manufacturing; transportation and
warehousing; professional, scientific and technical services; hotels and motels; and professional offices can still be in the land use program. Roll-back taxes would not apply until the actual use is changed. For more information about the Land Use Program or other tax relief programs offered by Hanover County, call the Commissioner of the Revenue at 804-365-6125 or visit the Land Use page for the Commissioner of the Revenue at www.hanovercounty.gov.

Alistar Harris and Rebecca Ponder of Origins Farm in Hanover stand among the lettuces on their six acres of land. They operate on compost-fed soil and grow more than 50 different vegetables, herbs and some fruit. Origins Farm maintains the “Certified Naturally Grown” label, meaning they never use synthetic fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides.
using organic and ecologically friendly farming practices. The Richmond Farm Tour highlighted small scale biological, Certified Naturally Grown and Certified Organic farms serving the Richmond area. With many Richmonders opting for local organic produce, the tour aimed to offer visitors perspective on where and how their food is grown and to shake the hands that feed them. “Every farmer wants people to understand how food grows,” Sue Ellen Johnson, executive director of the Virginia Association for Biological Farming, said. “There’s data that shows some people don’t know what cows are. There’s a story where a woman went
to a farm and saw a field of cows and said, ‘Look, a field of bears.’ It sounds like a joke, but it’s very real.” All 12 participating farms were open for a self-guided tour of the grounds. Johnson said participating farms ranged from small urban gardens to operations of a couple hundred acres. The bounty of Hanover County was represented on the tour in the form of Origins Farm. Johnson said visitors were often surprised by what they found on the farms. “We wanted them to see that farms can actually be very clean,” she said. “Farmers wanted people to see how nice their farms are and how beau-
tiful the land is.” The VABF got the notion of starting the farm tour as an educational opportunity building on the strength and interest in eating locally grown fruits and vegetables. “There are far more farmers markets than there used to be,” Johnson said. “There’s an increased interest in foods that are local, organic or naturally grown. We wanted people to come and see the farms that we believe in and see that Virginia farmers are able to be successful with biologically focused and organic farming methods.” Farmers offered tours of their operations and giving their visitors the opportunity to ask questions. Home gar-
deners and beginning farmers relished the chance to learn more about organic and biological growing practices. In the event’s first year, Johnson said about 200 per car tickets were purchased, with actual attendance estimated to be between 300 and 400. “They got to see how larger scale operations do things and got to ask questions about practices and things like irrigation,” Johnson said. “We wanted people to connect and few are brazen enough to say at the market, ‘Hey can I come to your farm and see how things work?’” Some of the farms had activities specifically geared toward children and each site see TOUR pg. 19

had farm stands with freshfrom-the-farm products that families could buy to incorporate into their dinners that evening. Beyond transparency about the process by which food is cared for and grown, Johnson said organizers hoped the tours would establish connections reminiscent of decades long ago. “In an old fashioned world, everyone knew who was raising the pigs and whose pigs you were eating,” Johnson said. “We called it the ‘Shake the Hand that Feeds You’ tour, because there’s a desire among consumers to know who’s growing their food. There’s a level of trust that established, in addition to the economic benefits of supporting a local farmer.” Due to the organic or ecologically friendly methods employed by the farms on the tour, crop loss can be as high as 20 to 50 percent, Johnson said. Such losses add to the cost of many of the products coming out of the featured farms when compared to the produce section of the local chain grocery store. Additionally, she said, access within those types of grocery stores proves to be one of the main challenges for small farms. “Getting into ‘regular’ markets is something that needs to be worked on,” Johnson said. “It’s a huge challenge, and as we know, the majority of purchases are driven by convenience, which once a week markets struggle to match. Farmers markets have been great, but they’re just one solution for one kind of situation.” For more information, visit www.vabf.org. The Virginia Association for Biological Farming is hosting its annual conference in Richmond this winter, Jan. 30-31, 2015.
Applicants sought for Master Gardener program Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Applications are now being accepted by the Hanover Master Gardeners and Virginia Cooperative Extension for their 2015 Master Gardener Training Class. Master Gardeners are volunteer educators of environmentally sound horticultural practices, according to Extension agent Laura MaxeyNay. Individuals will be specially trained by Virginia Cooperative Extension which are a group of specialists and Extension Agents who extend the knowledge of Virginia’s Land Grant Universities: Virginia Tech and Virginia State. Maxey-Nay said the group is looking for individuals who love gardening, enjoy teaching others, feel a strong commitment to community service and feel strongly about preserving natural resources. An open house will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 22 at 6:30 p.m. at Hanover Parks and Recreation’s Meeting Room, 13015 Taylor Complex
Lane, Ashland. The process of becoming and being a Master Gardener will be discussed. Maxey-Nay said the event will help attendees decide whether they are a good fit for the program. Applications will be accepted through Friday, Oct. 31. The 2015 Master Gardener internship will consist of 60plus hours of training classes, followed by 50 volunteer service hours, Maxey-Nay said. The training classes cover the basic topics of soils and nutrient management, basic botany, insects, plant diseases, pruning, propagation, safe pesticide use and integrated pest management as well as the more specific subjects of vegetable gardening, trees, shrubs, annuals, perennials, organic gardening, fruits, lawn care and establishment, wildlife management, water quality/conservation, yard waste management and more. Each class is taught by a different instructor, each an expert in his or her subject matter. Within 15 months of the start of training, students complete a 50-hour intern-
ship of specific volunteer activity on any of a number of meaningful and fun community horticultural projects under the mentorship of the Hanover County Cooperative Extension Office, Maxey-Nay said. These volunteer hours may be done at a variety of times of the day, on different days of the week, any season of the year and in an array of different settings. After successful completion of the training class and successful completion of the internship of volunteer service, students will achieve full Master Gardener status. To remain in good standing, a Master Gardener performs at least 20 hours of volunteer service and completes eight hours of continuing education annually, Maxey-Nay said. The fee for the program is $140 per individual and $160 for couples wishing to

McAuliffe task force combating campus sexual violence Gov. Terry McAuliffe recently announced the 30 members, including Maj. Tracy S. Rusillo of Hanover with the Virginia State Police, of the Governor’s Task Force on Combating Campus Sexual Violence to the administration. The appointees include a wide variety of experts in the field of sexual assault from law enforcement to educators, forensic nurses, Title IX coordinators and advocates. The Task Force, chaired by Attorney General Mark Herring, will hold quarterly meetings that
will focus on finding common solutions to building safer, more educated college communities within the Commonwealth, with the goal of creating best practices for education and prevention of sexual violence on campus. “There is no bigger concern then the health and safety of our citizens in the Commonwealth. As governor, I am committed to building a new Virginia economy where students are free from the threat of sexual violence. It is circuital that we work together with the schools, educators and law enforcement to build on our goal for all higher education institutions to be safe places of learning and
growing,” said McAuliffe. “Dorothy and I care deeply about this issue, and as parents we know the importance of sending your children off to a new and safe place, and we want that for all of Virginia’s young people. This task force is the first step in making sure that prevention, education, and awareness are spread about sexual violence, and ensures that Virginia will lead the way on combating this issue.” In addition to the task force, the Office of Attorney General has begun a review with each college and university of current policies and procedures for prevention and response. “Gov, McAuliffe, Virginia’s college
and university presidents, and I have sent a clear message that sexual violence will not be tolerated on our college campuses, nor will a societal culture that condones it in any way,” said Herring. “I look forward to working with this exceptional group of advocates, students, administrators, and experts to make sure that, as a Commonwealth, we are doing everything we can to prevent sexual violence, and to ensure that our response to reports of sexual violence is timely, appropriate, and survivor-centered. Virginia schools must remain safe and welcoming places where students, faculty and staff can live, learn, and work.”
Johnson welcomed to Harrision School of Pharmacy Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com
M
echanicsville native Brandon Wayne Johnson was among the incoming 149 student pharmacists who recently participated in the Harrison School of Pharmacy’s Class of 2018 in joining the Auburn Family. Friends and family joined them at the 2014 White Coat Ceremony at Auburn University in Auburn, Alabama. Johnson, the son of Debora Jones and Glenn Johnson, is a 2010 graduate of Atlee High School. He earned a bachelor of science degree in chemistry from Radford University in 2014. The White Coat Ceremony, one of the most anticipated milestones in a pharmacist’s path, signified the end
of the Foundations of Pharmacy orientation week and the beginning of the four-year journey of pharmacy school. The presentation of their own white coats, used to recognize health care professionals throughout the world, represents the next crucial stage of their education in which they will actively engage with patients and other professionals. At the Harrison School of Pharmacy, faculty members view student pharmacists as junior colleagues in the profession of pharmacy. Thus, the presentation of the white coat symbolizes their formal induction into the profession of pharmacy. While the students are still trainees, the event symbolizes their entry into the profession of pharmacy.

Supervisor seeking community input through upcoming forum Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com W. Canova Peterson, who represents the Mechanicsville District on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, will hold a Community Forum from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Oct. 21, at the Mechanicsville Branch of the Pamunkey Regional Library. He noted that the forum will be conducted with flexible arrival and departure times. Discussions will be open to all areas related to the quality of life in Mechanicsville and Hanover County, Peterson said, with both the good and those areas needing improvement. “It is my hope that this meeting will allow the citizens of Mechanicsville to share with me and their neighbors their concerns and ideas related to the future of our community and how I can best represent their interests at the courthouse,” he said.
Peterson added that this is the time of the year when county agencies are developing their plans for the next fiscal year. These plans will have a direct impact on the county budget to be reviewed in the spring and he said it is important that citizen input be provided as early as possible for maximum effectiveness. Joining Peterson at this forum will be the Mechanicsville District representatives on the planning commission and the school board. Members of other county boards also will be invited. While the meeting has been set up primarily to accommodate those living in the Mechanicsville District, Peterson said that all are welcome. “We are all in this together and I welcome the sharing of thoughts and ideas, not only with our immediate neighbors, but with all fellow citizens of Hanover County,” he said.

Stonewall Jackson Middle School French II students place in Regional Competition in the Fête de la Francophonie
E
ach year on March 20, the 77-member states of the International Organization of La Francophonie celebrate the French-speaking world and its rich and varied culture. This year, the French II students of Stonewall Jackson Middle School participated as well by competing in a “jeu de piste” sponsored by many embassies of French-speaking countries in Washington DC. The contest was an online scavenger hunt with questions about nine francophone countries and was open to French students throughout Virginia, Maryland, and the District of Columbia. Allison Silva’s class divided the dozens of questions and found answers online independently about topics ranging from African heads of state to Canadian tourist attractions to Swiss slang, entirely in
French. When the Embassy of France released the results,! Madame Silva’s students were ecstatic and bit shocked to find that they came in third place in the Embassy’s jurisdiction, submitting more correct answers than many students in all levels of French from public and private secondary schools throughout the region. Students had fun while learning about cultures of many different countries and even received a variety of prizes from the various embassies including CDs, DVDs, backpacks, posters, and other promotional items. Madame Silva is very proud of her French II class for accepting this challenge and completing it with great success. Information submitted by Linda M.

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

Atlee offensive deluge drowns Blue Devils By Chip Knighton For The Mechanicsville Local Despite Friday night’s gametime rainstorm, Varina was more affected by a deluge of Atlee points. Continuing with the aquatic metaphors, the floodgates opened in the second quarter as the host Raiders capitalized on an opportunistic defense for a rain-soaked 40-13 victory. “They just wanted it,” said Atlee coach Roscoe Johnson. “They’re still hurting a little bit from that loss to Henrico (on Sept. 26). They felt like they didn’t play their best. It’s like anything else — you’ve got to put one foot forward.” While Atlee quarterback Rasharrd Harris accounted for two first-quarter touchdowns, the onslaught didn’t truly begin until his backup, Malik White, ran in from 3 yards out four minutes into the second quarter. On the ensuing kickoff, Varina’s Allisshuwa Becoat slipped on the wet grass at the goal line, forcing the Blue Devils (2-4) to start off inches from their own end zone, with predictable results. C.J. Tilton stuffed Shawn Tyler for a safety on the next play, giving Atlee a 23-0 lead. The Raiders (5-1) went for the throat after the ensuing free kick, as Harris threw deep on the first play of the drive and

Top, Atlee’s Malik White (3) and AJ Zollar (10) celebrate after Zollar scores another touchdown. Bottom, Atlee’s Chalin Fairly (20) meets Varina’s Shawn Tyler (21) head on and puts him on his back for a loss.
Above, Atlee’s Loumond Dandridge (8) heads to the to the weak side as his blockers clear the way through Varina’s defense for a huge gain for the Raiders in their 40-13 victory over the Blue Devils Friday.
Tramell Carey outjumped two Varina defenders for a 37-yard gain. Three plays later, they hooked up again for a 13-yard fade and Harris’ second touchdown pass. “They were playing up, so our game plan was to do that,” Harris said. “We practiced hard all week, trying to work on (the fade).”
“From the start, I told them to keep the pedal down,” Johnson said. “We had to make sure we focused and stayed on them. You can’t give a good team like them an opportunity. You just have to keep driving and doing everything to keep the game on your side and keep our tempo.” Atlee safety Kamari Davis
followed by intercepting a Corey Finney pass and returning the ball to the Varina 5-yard line. A.J. Zollar needed just two plays to score, bouncing left after finding no room up the middle to send the Raiders into the break with a 37-0 lead. A sampling of the statistical highlights from the first half included Harris’ 172 pass-

He can throw the football,” Johnson said. “Tonight, he just simply showed how he’s able to throw the football even in the rain.” The Blue Devils, who were missing 14 injured players, kept fighting in the second
half, marching 75 yards after a half-opening defensive stop. That drive ended with Donnell Martin’s juking, dancing 38yard touchdown run. They struck again on the first play of the fourth quarter, with Finney finding Desmond Smith for a 35-yard score.

By Monica Hunsaker For The Mechanicsville Local Time has not favored Hanover the past two weeks. Two weeks ago in a home game against Atlee, the Hawks were dominating the Raiders, coming from behind – but running out of time before catching up to the visitors. Friday night at Henrico, the Hawks dominated the first 59 minutes of the game. But in the final minute – with 19.6 seconds left – Henrico scored a touchdown on a 6-yard pass from Andre Taylor Jr. to Kadofi Wright to steal the victory. Hanover’s and Henrico’s defenses were strong, stopping their opposing offenses on all but two drives. The Warriors’ continued their stingy trend this season. In six games, they have given up only one touchdown to an opposing offense – Lee-Davis. The Hawks’ only score was a 20-yard field goal by Jake Hummer that gave them a 3-0 lead in the second quarter. “It was an exhilarating game. It was a team effort and we kept fighting until the end,” Wright said. “It was a very tough match for us, but we pulled it out.” Taylor completed two passes in 11 attempts for 53 yards, the one touchdown, and an interception. Kobe Chavis led the Warriors on the ground with 96 rushing yards on 12 carries. The Warriors’ defense was led by linebacker Kysheen Myrick, who finished with seven tackles and one sack. “Our defense continues to step up,” said Henrico head football coach Gerald Glasco. “They play hard every week. I just love all my young men and they are doing a great job.” With just one touchdown allowed by the Warriors’ defense in the season, Glasco has reason to feel confident. The field goal

done with the Hawks. “Coach [Derek] Stoudt is doing a excellent job with the Hawks,” Glasco said. “He’s continued their tradition. They

Resurgent King William pounds Panthers By Sean Korsgaard For The Mechanicsville Local Despite heavy on-andoff rain all evening, the King William Cavaliers’ offense had no trouble getting traction against visiting Charles City County Friday night. The Cavaliers, with more than 500 yards total offense, kicked off their 2014 homecoming celebration with a 35-0 victory over the Panthers. The strong showing by King William is for many proof that the Cavaliers may have hit their stride this season. “We lost two games in a row, and that really gave us a gut check, and forced us to take a look at ourselves, and if we were the team we thought we were,” said King William head football coach Dylan Dehart. “We’ve had far too many penalties the past few games, and we cleaned up a lot of our play tonight.” The Cavaliers took an early lead with two touchdowns early in the first quarter, both by running back Camajae Peatross. They would be the first of five touchdowns scored by Peatross that evening. Peatross finished with 220 yards rushing and an additional 70 receiving yards in what was his best outing this season. “I’ve got to give all the credit to the blocking,” Peatross said “They were there for me tonight, we clicked, and it got me to the end zone.” DeHart said that while Peatross’ play has been solid this season, this was the breakout game he had been hoping to see from the running back. “I’m very proud of how Camajae Peatross played. He really came out of his shell tonight. He’s one of the most electrifying players [I’ve seen] since I started coaching here,” said Dehart. “He’s had a good

season so far, but it’s started a bit slow. Tonight he had a breakout game, I know it will help his confidence, and turn some heads.” Peatross would score King William’s third touchdown of
the evening toward the end of the second quarter, after Charles City County came up just short of the end zone on two drives dominated by running back Jaquane Wyatt. The Cavaliers’ defense
stopped several more drives by the Panthers in the second half – one ending in a fumble recovered and returned by Peatross for King William’s fourth touchdown of the night. One more drive in the last
minute of the third quarter by King William resulted in Peatross’ fifth and final touchdown of the night. The fourth quarter ended scoreless despite drives by both teams that got close to the goal. Charles City, though defeated, did not appear disheartened by the loss.
“King William is a good team, they’ve got a good ball club over there,” said Charles City County head football coach Stewart Greene. “There’s some things we need to work on, to make it all come together, but I think down the stretch, we’ll be fine.” Despite the victory, the Cavaliers aren’t quite ready to celebrate just yet. “Our defense had a shutout. They really stepped up,” DeHart said. “We fumbled the ball a bit too much, but some positive came out of this. We want to hit our peak come playoff time, so each week, we just want to get a little bit better, work our way up. “We’ve just got to keep working, and we’re looking forward to heading to Matthews next week and having a good ball game” King William (4-2) travels to play Matthews (0-6) Friday at 7 p.m. King William 15 6 14 0 — 35 Charles City 0 0 0 0 — 0 KW — Peatross 15 pass from Jones (Dandridge kick) KW — Peatross 5 run (Brown run 2-pt conversion) KW — Peatross 1 run KW — Peatross 25 run (Jones run 2-pt conversion) KW — Peatross 30 pass from Jones

October 15, 2014
Last week, 11 area golfers participated in one of three Virginia High School League regional golf tournaments. Just two of those 11 golfers survived to compete in state golf tournaments this week. Last week, Atlee sent four golfers to the Region 5A South tournament at The Hamptons in Hampton; Hanover sent one to the Region 4A South tournament at Williamsburg National’s Yorktown course and King William sent its team of six golfers to the Region 2A East tournament at Heritage Oaks in Harrisonburg. By the time the three tournaments were over last Tuesday only Hanover’s Matt Alexander and King Williams’ Mark Adams remained to play this week. Alexander, a senior, shot a 78 and 81 for a two-day total of 159 and an eighth-place finish overall in the Region 4A South tournament last week. He competed in the VHSL Group 4A state tournament at Ivy Hill Golf Club in Forest Monday and Tuesday (after this edition went to press). He is the first Hawk in Hanover history to reach the state championship tournament. “It feels really good to be the first person to go to states for Hanover High School,” Alexander said. “I made regionals the last two years, and that was just to get a feel for what it was like. So this year I actually wanted to go to states.” Alexander said his two previous regional appearances made this go-round easier. “I’d been there before. I knew I could do it,” Alexander said. “I just had to go out there and hit.” Adverse weather hampered the golfers in the Conference

20 tournament the week before. Weather was not a problem in the regional tournament. Alexander said the conditions near perfect at Williamsburg National. “The course was beautiful. The greens rolled nice. It was taken care of really good,” Alexander said. “It was just beautiful.” But the beauty of the course – or lack thereof – does not affect his play. “I don’t really think about the setting around places,” Alexander said. “I think about how the course is set up.” Hanover golf coach Chris Pace finds the course the Group 4A tournament will be held an “interesting track.” “I’ve played it,” Pace said. “It’s got some generous holes, but then also it twists and winds in the back around a lot of homes. It’s hilly. Some of the holes are tight. It’s filled with bit of everything.” Aside from playing on a different course, the state tourna-
ment will have a big difference in feel from the region tournament. “The big difference between state and region is, [state’s] a [Virginia State Golf Association] event,” Pace said. “There’s a rules dinner with the same guys that are running the state open, like the SunTrust state open that has a $50,000 or $100,000 purse. That’s big time. … The state tournament is being run by people who manage big-time golf tournaments.” No matter who is watching, Alexander will try to play the way he always does. “I’m just going to try to stay inside myself and play my game,” Alexander said. “Usually when you’re on the golf course you have a different mindset. Usually when I’m playing, I try not to think about [the stakes] because it will mess you up really quickly.” King William had hopes of qualifying for the state tournament, but needed to be one of the top two teams to in the regional to advance. Despite its fifth-place finish in the team standings, Cavaliers’ coach Jay Blanton was not disappointed. “I was pretty pleased for the most part,” Blanton said. “It was a pretty tight match. We finished fifth, but we were only nine strokes out of second place. … I thought our guys played pretty well for the most part.” Adams, a senior, finished fifth in the individual standings in the one-day tournament with an 18-hole score of 78 to advance to the Group 2A state meet at Glenrochie Country Club in Abingdon Monday and Tuesday. Blanton said the greens on the Abingdon course will be a challenge. “The greens, I think, are going to be the equalizer. The see GOLFERS, pg. 40
Hanover’s experience proves too much for Henrico By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Henrico’s boys’ volleyball team has plenty of height, but Hanover’s team has more experience. The experience counted most Tuesday night when the Hawks hosted the Warriors for a match – or an outmatch. Hanover swept Henrico 25-12, 25-4, 25-12 in a contest that lasted barely an hour. Despite the lopsided scores, Hanover coach Hilary Cassil said the 1-11 Warriors had their moments. “They always have amazing hustle and they manage to get the ball back over the net,” Cassil said. “So I think [Henrico coach Andrew Senka] is doing a good job with them.” Senka said the Warriors, despite four seniors on the squad, are for the most part, “all raw.” Dave Lawrence/The Local “I have four starting freshHanover’s Brennan Bayer (22) winds up for a shot against Henrico in the Hawks’ 3-0 win Tuesday. men,” Senka said. “These boys
are in their first year of volleyball, and they’re gritty. They’ve come a long way, especially this year. I’m really proud of, you know, where they’re at, and really looking forward to the future.” Cassil said Hanover (7-3) has been playing well after rebounding from three tough losses earlier. “It’s going pretty well. We had three losses in a row early on to tough teams that we’re going to see again starting next week,” Cassil said. “So that’s going to be the real test. We’ve had a couple of wins in a row now. We’re going to see if we can keep that [momentum] against the tougher teams.” Two of those tougher teams are former Capital District rivals Atlee and Lee-Davis. In Conference 20, however, Cassil said that the Hawks have to worry more about a team from the South Side – Midlothian. “They’re solid,” Cassil said. “I’ve coached a couple of their
players at [Richmond Volleyball Club], so I know they’re good.” The Hawks have been playing without one of their key players, who has been out all season because of an injury. Cassil said the remaining players have adjusted well to his absence. “Everybody else has been stepping up to fill the positions that we need,” Cassil said. “We’re working hard and really coming together as a team. … As with most teams, the toughest part is being consistent – consistent passing, consistent serving – but we’ve come a long way since the start of the season.” Hanover was led by Ben Anderson with five kills and five aces. Both Brennan Bayer and Tucker Beasley had four kills apiece, with Bayer chipping in seven digs. Henrico was led by Matt Headley and Amith Kumar with two kills apiece. Headley also had two digs.
R-MC gets win over Wasps By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Randolph-Macon’s women’s soccer team got all the offense in needed in the third minute of its Old Dominion Athletic Conference game with visiting Emory & Henry Saturday. Junior forward Meghan O’Neal fired a hard shot from 30 yards out past Wasps’ keeper Vicki Fenley just 2:10 into the contest to put the Yellow Jackets ahead. Freshman midfielder Kasey Martino added a goal and an assist in the second half to give Randolph-Macon a 3-0 victory. Martino, assisted by Jen LaBarge, scored the game’s sec-
ond goal in the 53rd minute with a header off a corner kick. In the 65th minute, Martino fed the ball to Lindsey Hall, who won a one-on-one with Fenley. Yellow Jackets head soccer coach Jay Howell said the getting the second goal was key. “Any cushion is good,” Howell said. “We were talking about it at halftime – there’s a great soccer myth that a twogoal lead is the worst lead there is. I don’t know if I agree with that. I’d rather have two goals than one goal. “So when we got it to 2-nil, I think it gave us a little bit more momentum, and then that created that third goal, that third
opportunity.” Emory & Henry head soccer coach Linda SchirmeisterGess said the Yellow-Jackets’ second goal was key. “The second goal was the deciding goal,” SchirmeisterGess said. “The second goal was the deciding goal because we always thought we were in it if we get one, but that second goal … was a tough goal to receive because our goalie made a great initial save and they just bundled it in. And then after that we had to go at them, so it opened us up for that third goal.” Nevertheless, Howell said the first goal helped RandolphMacon’s outlook.

Yellow Jackets give Catholic sting of defeat be a lot more consistent and he’s got to hang onto the ball. Right now, that’s a big concern that I have for our football team. Right now, we’re having a real tough time hanging onto the football, and when you do what we do offensively, you can’t turn the ball over.” The Yellow Jackets are tied with Catholic and Washington & Lee for the most fumbles in the ODAC with six, but they had just one Friday while taking advantage of a young Catholic team fielding an injury-torn defensive line. “We played two sophomores and a freshman at defensive line the whole night,” Cardinals’ head coach Dave Dunn said. “And they’re one of the biggest offensive lines in the league, and they returned most of their starters from last year on the offensive line, and it definitely showed at times. I think our kids played hard and did some good things, but you know, right now, they’re bigger and stronger than we are.”
By Matthew Stoss For The Mechanicsville Local People, including John Byrd, do not consider him a “speed back,” but Friday night against Catholic, the Randolph-Macon junior did OK. “I’m not really a fast back,” Byrd said with a laugh. “I get yardage when I need it. … I guess today was one of the [days] I was finally able to go the distance.” Byrd dusted the secondary for a 68-yard touchdown run – the highlight play of a thundering 22-carry, 185-yard performance – to lead the Yellow Jackets to a 42-21 rout of Catholic in front of 1,557 on a rainy night at Day Field. Randolph-Macon (3-2 overall, 1-1 in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference) beat up the Cardinals (2-3, 0-2) for 561 yards of total offense, 393 of which came on the ground – nearly half of that total from Byrd, who shook off an early first quarter fumble to score twice. It was the 5-foot-11, 218pounder’s second straight 100plus-yard rushing game after going for 124 on 20 carries in a 38-28 loss to Emory & Henry on Oct. 4. Friday’s win keeps the Yellow Jackets — which held Catholic to just 251 yards of offense — solidly in ODAC title contention after starting conference play 0-1. Randolph-Macon has

not won a conference championship since 2008 .The Yellow Jackets overcame 15 penalties for 148 yards. “Last week, we had a tough loss,” said Macon senior quarterback Zac Naccarato. “We knew we were behind, and we’ve got to play with a sense of desperation.” Against Catholic, Naccarato went 15-for-26 for 168 yards, a touchdown and no interceptions, He rushed for one touchdown and finished with 71 yards on 10 carries. Byrd’s first touchdown came
with 24 seconds left in the first quarter when the Manassas Park High School graduate put Macon up 7-0 on a 13-yard run, ending a 12-play, 80-yard drive. His second touchdown was the 68-yarder. Dustin Hiner, in his first game as the Jackets’ fullback, sprung Byrd down the Catholic sideline, and Byrd, summoning all he could of his modest wheels, wiped off a defensive back with about 20 yards ago to put Macon up 3514 with 11:21 left. “I just saw [Hiner] make a hell of a block and I kind of took
off from there,” Byrd said. “I knew if I got tackled, I probably never would have heard the end of it from my teammates ’cause I know I’m not really a speed back or anything like that. But it was pretty fun. That was the second longest touchdown I’ve had since I’ve played football.”
Byrd said his longest is a 71-yarder he had at Manassas Park. “I was a little surprised,” Randolph-Macon head coach Pedro Arruza said of Byrd’s long run Friday. “It looked like he pulled away from some people, but he ran hard. He’s just got to

ball, putt well, to score well.” Blanton said that, despite a practice round Sunday, will face yet another challenge with the greens. “The greens were soaking wet today because it rained here pretty much all day [yesterday], and they were still lightningfast,” Blanton said Sunday night.
“They said they hadn’t cut them in three days, but were planning on cutting them tomorrow morning [before the start of the tournament]. I can only imagine what [the greens] are going to be like tomorrow.” Aside from the greens, Blanton and Adams found the layout of the course fairly nice.
“For the most part, it’s kind of open. It’s not too bad,” Blanton said. “You can hit some bad shots and still be OK for the most part.” That will depend, of course, on the weather. While the weather forecast for Monday looked good, Tuesday’s looked to be overly interesting.
“We’re under a high-wind advisory starting [Monday] night,” Blanton said. “They’re saying we can get winds anywhere from 40 to 60 miles an hour through Tuesday – to get it even crazier.” Despite the expectation of fresh-cut greens Monday and high winds Tuesday, Blanton
said that Adams is looking forward to the challenge. “He’s excited to be here. He’s excited to have the opportunity,” Blanton said. “At this point, he’s one of the final 36 in the state playing, which says a lot. He knows he’s capable of going out and putting a couple of good rounds together.”
