Registrar: few election snafus reported By Jodi Deal jdeal@mechlocal.com Hanover County registrar Teri Smithson, Hanover County Republican Committee chair Nancy Russell and Hanover County Democratic Committee chair Gordon Silver all agreed on one thing on Wednesday, Nov. 5: They were exhausted in the wake of the Tuesday, Nov. 4, General Election.

House of Representatives victor Dave Brat didn’t lend the same support to Gillespie. In Hanover County, about 64.5 percent of votes went to Gillespie, while about 70.25 percent went to Brat. “I think they made a grievous mistake,”

Russell said of those who supported Brat but not Gillespie, adding that the two candidates’ platforms were remarkably similar. “We’ll drill down in the precincts and try to figure out what we can do to get people to support our entire ticket in the future.” In the wake of an election that handed over control of both the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate to Republicans, Silver said, as a Democrat, he was understandably disapsee REGISTRAR, pg. 4

Dave Brat, left, and Jack Trammell shake hands after they squared off for a 60-minute debate Oct. 28 at RandolphMacon College.

Dave Brat’s successful bid for the 7th District U.S. House of Representatives’ seat was declared not long after the polls closed on Tuesday, Nov. 4. U.S. Sen. Mark Warner, the incumbent, claimed a victory early Wednesday morning to his seat on Capitol Hill. However, Republican Ed Gillespie, Democrat Warner’s oppo-

nent, did not concede defeat until Friday afternoon in a contest that was down to the wire and too close to call in the days following the General Election. With 99.96 percent of precincts reporting, Warner was ahead with 16,540 votes. He had 1,071,049, 49.12 percent, to Gillespie’s 1,054,509, 48.36 percent.

School division helps parents connect with kids’ online activities By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local With new technologies comes new responsibilities, and parents of middle and high school age children realize the importance of the Internet in their studies and social lives. Getting involved in a child’s online footprint is often dif-

ficult for parents who are unacquainted or unfamiliar with the Internet and what their children might encounter while online. Monitoring a child’s online activity is an important oversight function, but many parents are unsure or unaware of specific online issues that may

confront their children. To assist parents in making sure kids are using the Internet properly and safely, Hanover County Public Schools is offering a workshop to parents entitled Connecting Families: Helping Parents Connect with their Children’s Digital Lives. “The workshop series

is designed to provide support and resources to parents with the most requested topics regarding technology and Internet safety,” Debbie Arco, director of curriculum and instruction for HCPS, said. “It is also our hope to continue to build strong school home partnerships through workshops

and events like this one.” The program allows a parent to examine their child’s online footprint or history of what sites they visit. “We talk about a digital footprint as a record of everything an individual does online, including the content see ONLINE, pg. 17

The Local Pick:

ust three months after a plan was announced to close the Atlee Station YMCA, the center is adding staff, forming a board of directors and has raised more than $15,000 toward continuing and expanding activities and partnerships at the center. Andrew Dyson, who transferred from the Shady Grove YMCA in Glen Allen to serve as the Atlee Station location’s executive director on Oct. 1, confirmed that his position is a new one. The Atlee Station branch, which is located in the Rutland community, previously operated with only one full-time employee, an operations director. The Atlee Station branch also is in the process of forming a board of directors, which will be chaired by Lynn Chaffin, and has named Kitty Deiss Kraushaar chair of its annual giving campaign. That campaign wraps up Nov. 14, according to Dyson, and had, as of Nov. 6, raised $15,320 toward its $25,000 goal. In addition, a full-time wellness and member services director has been transferred from another Greater Richmond YMCA. The Atlee Station branch is in the process of hiring childcare workers, personal trainers and group exercise instructors, Dyson said. “Yes, we have hired new people,” Dyson said, confirming that, for now, the Greater Richmond YMCA is absorbing the initial salary costs in hopes of the center eventually becoming self-sufficient. That decision, he added, is a direct result of the outpouring of community support the center received when its closure was announced in mid-July. That decision was ultimately reversed after several community meetings and a lease negotiation with HHHunt, the developer of the Rutland community, which owns the YMCA building and agreed to a two-year lease extension with reduced rent. “That kind of outpouring of support and people standing up, it’s kind of hard to turn away from,” Dyson said. According to Dyson, Chaffin and

Kraushaar were both members of Save The Atlee Y (STAY), a community group that formed with the aim of stopping the center’s proposed closure this summer. Both were gym members who stepped up to offer their help when times were tough, he said. “That is just tremendous,” Dyson said. “Usually during a time like that, you don’t have anyone stepping up to the front too quickly.” In addition, the center already has six members who have agreed to serve on its board of directors, Dyson said, and hopes to grow that group to about 12 people. DYSON Previously, the Atlee Station branch had no board. At the time of the proposal to close the Atlee Station branch, YMCA officials said about 1,200 individual and family membership units were needed to make the center fiscally solvent. Right now, Dyson said there are about 740 memberships on the books and officials are pushing to get that number to at least 900 as soon as possible. “That can be achieved through member services,” Dyson said, like exercise classes, expanded childcare hours and educating the public about access to additional programs at nearby YMCAs they get as a result of purchasing a membership. As for future possible expansions to the 10,000-square-foot facility, or possible relocation, Dyson said the short-term goal is to rally volunteers, build up a leadership team and get solid annual fundraising campaigns established before any capital campaigns are undertaken. That, he said, is essential for the YMCA to maintain its open-door policy. “Right now, about 20 percent of our members receive financial assistance,” Dyson said, at a cost of about $53,000 per year. “We don’t turn people away because of their ability to pay. The annual campaign is a great way to support that cause and support those memberships.”

pointed. He also said he was extremely surprised to see the Warner-Gillespie race turn out so close. “We’re terribly disappointed that voters have forgotten what it was like under Republican rule and what Republicans did to our economy,” Silver said. “I grew up in South Africa in times of Apartheid and I saw what conservative politics can do to a country — it was horrible.” Silver expressed concern that U.S. voters confuse the terms socialism and communism. “America is the country it is because it’s always had a strong safety net for its people,” Silver

A hope that crossing the aisle brings unity

A new day has dawned on our nation’s capital with the Republican Party regaining control of the U.S. Congress. As Americans, let us hope that the powers-that-be will make good on the promises made during the campaign season. We all know there’s considerable political rhetoric — but there’s that glimmer of hope that we will see our country get back on a prosperous path. And, once again, this writer will point out that no political preferences are attached. This is being written as an American, a citizen of the United States who wants to see the unemployed return to work and the middle class get a break. I’m not even going to jump into the fray about health care, but, whether they’re incumbents or new faces on Capitol Hill, it’s obvious the majority of Americans want changes made. And there were those who wanted some long-time members of Congress out. That’s about as simple as it can be said. Voters wanted them gone and they confirmed that position at the polls last week. For those of us who make our homes in the 7th District, we will support newcomer David Brat in representing us. We hope he holds to his pledge of working with both parties for the betterment of our nation. Having ousted Eric Cantor in June, the national spotlight will be on Brat to see what this Randolph-Macon College economist brings to the table as it were. He convinced voters during the summer that he could make a difference in Washington, D.C., and the same followed true on Nov. 4. Our greatest hope is that petty politics will be put aside and the emphasis turns to the people of the United States. We are in serious need of united leaders — for our benefit. With so much attention on the election in recent weeks, we were remiss — and apologetic — for not extending our most sincere thanks to all those who have served or are serving in our military. Our veterans are such an integral part of our community and we support their efforts in every way we can through this publication. To all with ties to the military, thank you. Melody Kinser

Even soda machines go high tech By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

If you stick around this planet long enough there’s no telling what you might see. I’m talking, specifically, about Coca-Cola machines. They’ve come a long way since my first encounter with one more than five decades ago. My first encounter with what could be considered a Coke machine was at a small country store near my

grandmother’s house. It was a simple cooler filled with icy water with drinks submerged. It seemed like an endless variety of oranges, grapes, chocolates and colas, and always presented a dilemma as to which icy beverage to choose. From there, I proceeded to pluck Cokes from a small red machine that required a nickel and a good crank to get your reward. It’s a design that most associate with the traditional Coke machine. From there technology took over.

As a teen working at the Phillips 66 station across from Willow Lawn, we had a Coke machine that had hidden benefits. You selected your choice with a dial on the front. If you spun the selector wheel, we quickly discovered that the drinks would come out with ice in them. We then progressed to the view and pick variety where a small glass see SODA, pg. 7 

Resident: saddened by nation stepping backwards I am saddened that this nation has taken a great step backwards in the recent election. We have very little time left to take measures to mitigate climate change. So, what do we do as a nation? We elect Koch brothers-owned congressional representatives who want to suck the earth dry of petroleum — even as it kills us; install pipelines that will encourage more drilling as it damages landscapes and re-elect the man who will become the new chair of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee: the anti-science and climate denying James Inhofe. I guess we deserve what we (and future generations) are going to get. Too bad we have to take the rest of the planet down with us. Judy Thomas Mechanicsville

Army veteran explains benefits of serving My name is David Dinkelman and I am one of the top employers for Maryland and Washington, D.C. I am glad the new school year is underway. During the last school year, I hired 863 high school graduates and 141 college degree holders. These 1,004 young people committed to work for my department for anywhere from three to six years. They are part of a small percentage of young

Americans who qualify to be part of our team. My employer offers full health care, tax-free allowances for living expenses and work locations around the world. There are 151 jobs available in 25 career fields. We are continuously hiring, despite news coverage that makes people think otherwise. I am a lieutenant colonel and the commander of the Baltimore U.S. Army Recruiting Battalion. The Army continually needs new soldiers, just as most large-scale businesses need a constant flow of entry-level employees. The vast majority of these 1,004 young men and women are starting their first full-time job — with competitive pay and benefits. If they leave the Army without retiring, they will have tens of thousands of dollars to use for college, the eligibility to buy a home with no down payment, and other benefits due to U.S. veterans.

Since the early days, the machines have progressively become unimaginative as they distributed cans of soda for decades. Even with the changes, a Coke machine was still a Coke machine with its basic operation … until now. Now, with sales lagging worldwide, soft drink companies are looking for new combinations, recipes and delivery systems to spice up the industry.

Even soda machines have taken the route of going high tech in today’s world.

There’s even an app available that guides users through the insurmountable list of options. Officials say the new machines appeal to a younger generation of users, and the freestyles located on college

campuses are receiving rave reviews. On a recent trip to get burgers, my children found the machine intriguing and its operation was no mystery to my technology savvy crew. It’s just more evidence of a changing world of technology that often leaves guys like me behind. I suppose one of the benefits of having young children at an old age allows, or, more appropriately, forces you to keep up with trends you would otherwise ignore. So, I bellied up to the new machine and, after a few seconds of study, punched a button and a tasty Coke emptied into my waiting cup. Just goes to show you: We’re never too old to change or remember the good old days when Cokes were 5 cents and served in tiny green bottles. And now, I’m freestyling! Technology, ain’t it great?

Over a three-day period in September, representatives of CARF conducted a rigorous on-site review of the HCCSB’s administrative functions as well as its treatment, prevention and employment services. The results of this survey demonstrate the HCCSB’s commitment to offering programs and services that are measurable, accountable and of the highest quality. CARF is an independent, nonprofit accrediting body whose mission is to promote quality, value and optimal outcomes of services through a consultative accreditation process that centers on enhancing the lives of persons served.

GORMAN-SINDLINGER, Phyllis Taylor, recently of Mechanicsville, born May 31, 1922, was taken in the arms of angels to be with her Lord on November 2, 2014. She was 92. Known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Pipiâ&#x20AC;? to her family and their friends, she could light up a room with her smile. Everyone saw kindness in her sweet face, her gracious demeanor, her dignity and her obvious appreciation for everything people did for her. She was blessed with two loving husbands, John â&#x20AC;&#x153;J.D.â&#x20AC;? Gorman Jr. (38 years)

and William M. Sindlinger (35 years), both of whom predeceased her. She was also preceded in death by her parents, Robert Samuel and Louise Cole Taylor; and one brother, Jack Gordon Taylor.

Gorman, Donna (Chuck Kelley), John III (Debbie) (deceased), Pat (Mary Jo), Mike (Theresa) and Jim; as well as 11 grandchildren, 17 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild. She was so proud â&#x20AC;&#x153;that she started all that!â&#x20AC;? Not ever one to focus on herself, she gave up her career as a medical techni-

cian to devote all her energy, wisdom and unconditional love on family. She instilled a strong foundation of faith, established important family traditions and used her considerable talents with crafts, cooking, sewing and homemaking to create a rich environment and special memories for those she touched. Till the end she asked for little but gave all she had. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her children rose up and call her blessed; many women do noble things, but you surpass them allâ&#x20AC;? Proverbs 3l:28-29. Visitation was held on Thursday, November 6, at Blileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Funeral Home - Chippenham Chapel.

Boy Scout Troop 544 to celebrate 60th birthday Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Boy Scout Troop 544 is turning 60 years old. The troop was established in 1954 at Shady Grove United Methodist Church (SGUMC) in Mechanicsville. Today, Troop 544 is thriving with 24 active members and looking for more. In conjunction with the 60th anniversary of scouting at SGUMC, Boy Scout Troop 544 invites Arrow of Light Scouts, their parents and leaders and boys ages 11 and up to an Open House at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 18, at the Shady Grove United Methodist Church at 8209 Shady Grove Road. The event will offer a chance to learn more about the troop, their first year program and the Webelos to Scout transition. The Webelos den is created for Cub Scouts 10 years of age, to provide a bridge for crossing over to Boy Scouting. Families

who are interested in hiking, camping, canoeing and other outdoor activities and who want to learn wilderness skills are encouraged to attend. What seems to have held true for generation after generation of Troop 544 members is the fascination with camping and the camaraderie of shared experience. Camping has taken the scouts out of Mechanicsville and into the woods, mountains and streams of Virginia and beyond. Many of the young men in the troop have been together since Cub Scouts, forging friendships through the adolescence years over trekking in the muck, trying to light wet wood, fighting off mosquitoes and eating charred meat — those are the friendships that have endured. Boys come into the troop with aspirations of swimming, archery and camping, but come out with so much more. Times may change, but

the experience doesn’t. Let your children experience Boy Scouts with Troop 544 and create long-lasting memories. Troop 544 stands out from the others with an astounding 73 Eagle Scouts produced through their program. The continued support from the church, the parents and adult leaders have led to a strong, dedicated group of future leaders. Troop 544 has several notable Eagles serving Hanover County: Bob Hundley is chair of the Hanover County School Board. Also significant to the troop’s success has been the contributions of longtime sheriff Harold Bradley, who served as scoutmaster, and committeemen Fred Weisensale, Norm Zeter and Russ Eckles. Troop 544 has provided extensive leadership in the Council’s Wood Badge Leader training since the turn of the century in the last 11 courses.

Some past scoutmasters include: Robert Bass, who served from 1966-1970; Dave Amos, 1970-1972; Joe Norman, 1972-1974; Jack

Butcher, 1974-1980; Randy Kirby, 1992 until about 1995 when Jesse Locklar took over. Everett Winn followed when Locklar was transferred to

Morgantown, West Virginia in 1996-1997. Winn held the position until the end of 1999 when Charlie Fleet took over. see TROOP 544, pg. 20

Lee-Davis Players to perform ‘Cinderella’ Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com The 2014-2015 season of the Lee-Davis Players will open with the fall production of Cinderella. “This play is fit for everyone, young and old,” junior Collin Mann who plays the role of Prince Charming, a young man searching for true love, said. The timeless fairy tale returns to the stage in an adapted version suited for all ages. The cast and crew of over 70 Lee-Davis students have been working diligently since September to perform what is being called “the best fall production Lee-Davis has ever had.” Mann added, “It is great

to be working with such talented people. All of the characters in the show are very dynamic and exciting to watch and perform with.” The show is a fairy tale following a girl named Cinderella, who lost both of her parents at a young age and is now a slave to her evil stepmother. The role of Cinderella is played by senior Jessie McCoy. As for being cast as Cinderella, McCoy said, “[It’s] only every single girls dream! It’s really cool getting to dress and act like a princess for a little while.” The play tells the story of Cinderella and Prince Charming’s journey together on their quest for a happily ever after.

AHS Choral Department presenting concert Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com An Evening of Broadway & Opera featuring Cathy Motley-Fitch, accompanied by Natan Berenshteyn, will be presented at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. Nov. 15, in the Atlee High School Auditorium. The performance is being hosted by the Atlee High School Chorus Department. Tickets are $20 with general admission seating. Proceeds will benefit the Atlee High School Chorus Boosters. The evening will highlight interpretations of stories and music told in the world of opera and retold in the world of Broadway. The audience will take a musical journey through classical, operatic, jazz and musical theatre stylings Motley-Fitch and Berenshteyn come from very different backgrounds: She is from Hanover, who made her start at Lee-Davis High School; he grew up in what is now Moldova in the former Soviet Union, who began his musical

prodigious studies at the age of 5. Growing up, Motley-Fitch said she took every opportunity to perform. At Lee-Davis, she sang in their Show Choirs, Madri-jazz and New Horizons. After obtaining a bachelor’s of music in vocal performance from VCU, doors began to open for her in several theaters from Florida to New York to Wisconsin. Her dream was to travel the world, and, before long, she landed a job performing in a production cast and her own cabaret on a high-end cruise line. Motley-Fitch said she has enjoyed doing what she loves: performing and music directing -- from Fiji to Nashville and has done so for such companies as Opryland Productions, Royal Caribbean, Paramount’s Kings Dominion, Virginia Opera and Gary Musick Productions. She continues to perform in various venues, but said she balances that with the all-important roles of wife and mother. She has added teaching to her repertoire. Berenshteyn’s journey was quite different.

The Atlee High School Raider Players will present Charlotte Bronte’s “Jane Eyre” at 7 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, Nov. 20-22. The production has been adapted for the stage by Robert Johanson. Tickets are $4 for students and $5 for adults.

He was accepted into an elite music school at the age of 6 and continued his musical education with degrees in classical piano, jazz piano and conducting. It was soon after completing these degrees that the country collapsed and his family sought refuge in the United States. They found themselves in Richmond with no money and very little English, but, before too long, he found himself playing piano for the Richmond Ballet. Through this, he was able to meet Sonia Vlahcevic, a professor at VCU. Dr. V changed his life. After auditioning, he was able to go to VCU on two scholarships, receive another bachelor’s and master’s degrees in choral music and performance in classical piano. Fast forward a few years and he has been known as the beloved “Mr. B.,” choral director at Atlee High School for 15 years. He also serves as music director for Congregation Beth Ahabah (House of Love). The concert, a fundraiser, is designed to encourage students and the community to expe-

The Special Election saw Brat posting 148,721 or 61.68 percent of the votes; Trammell, 91,119, 37.79 percent; and write-ins, 1,261, 0.52 percent. Warner did give an acceptance speech election night. He noted it was “a hardfought race” and “went a little longer than we thought.” With the Republican Party taking control of the U.S. Congress, the Democrat and former governor of Virginia said, “You know the thing that we are seeing all across the country is that people are tired of politics as usual.” Although they share the same last name, Mark Warner and John Warner, who held that Senate seat for three decades, are not related.

The current senator offered that we have got to find that his thanks and said he “wanted common ground.” “And,” he continued, “in this to call out one individual, one great Virginian, who I had the new Senate I will work with honor now of taking his posi- anyone Democrat, Republican, Independent, you name, if we tion.” John Warner, are going to make a Republican, sure that we can get had endorsed the our country’s probincumbent during lems fixed.” the campaign.

doors and making calls and for doing the hard work of democracy.” As for his Democratic opponent and fellow R-MC professor, Brat said Trammell had called to concede. He also had received a call from Carr. “I want to thank both of them for running, and I wish them and their families the best.” “First thing tonight,” Brat said, “I want to give thanks to God. As I said during the primary win, in the tough times, the really tough times, God is there, and so God deserves the praise in the good times as well.” In preparing for his office in Congress, he said, “You’ve entrusted me with your seat in the people’s house. It’s truly

one of the highest honors of my life.” Brat said he would “continue to focus on the same issues that I campaigned on, like jumpstarting our economy, securing our border, reducing the overwhelming tax burden on our families and businesses, protecting retirement programs for our seniors, and replacing ObamaCare with reforms that actually lower costs.” “This seat belongs to you, the people,” he added. “I ran on being part of the solution in Washington, not being part of the system. Hold me accountable. Help me to hold Washington accountable so we can get this amazing country back on track,” the new congressman said.

other election officials speculating that turnout percentages could be in the single digits. Only one voter had to cast a provisional vote as a result of not having proper photo identification that was required under a new state law this year,

according to Mickens. “I anticipated a higher number,” Mickens said, praising outreach efforts in the media and local government to educate the public on what voters needed to present at the polls. Only six King William

County citizens came to Mickens’ office in need of special free photo ID cards for the election, she said. The only hiccups on Election Day came in the form of failing equipment. Antiquated equipment failed at polling places in the

West Point and Sweet Hall districts, Mickens said. However, thanks to backup equipment and a special emergency chute in the failing optical ballot scanner allowed every vote to be counted, she said, and no voters were forced to use a piece of equipment they

were not comfortable with, nor did any voters have to wait as a result of the failures. “I have to give kudos to my election officers,” Mickens said. “We had everything we needed so that our canvass would run smoothly and everyone’s ballots could be counted.”

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

Raiders overcome stubborn Confederates invited to play in the game. He did say last week that he plans to return from his injury. Atlee could definitely use their four-star recruit during their postseason run.

By Josiah Turner For The Mechanicsville Local Lee-Davis gave their archrival Atlee a scare early on, but the Raiders scored 56 secondhalf points en route to a 63-35 victory to close out the regular season. During the last week of the high school football season, playoff seeding becomes the topic of discussion. Atlee (8-2) knew this was a game it needed to win, while Lee-Davis (2-8) was looking to end its season on a positive note. The Confederates led 21-7 after the first half, behind a valiant effort from running backs Blake Stattelman and Nathan Evans. Stattelman, a senior, rushed 14 times for 76 yards and one touchdown. He left it all on the field as he was playing his last game for Lee-Davis. “The seniors did everything they could this year to try and have a positive season,” said Lee-Davis head coach Ryan Turnage. “I’m sorry we couldn’t win more games for them.” Evans, a sophomore, finished this season’s finale with 17 carries for 97 yards and two touchdowns. The tide turned quickly once the second half began. Atlee outscored Lee-Davis 28-0 in the third quarter. Loumond Dandridge Jr. was a huge reason why the Raiders were able to bounce back from

senior night. He was also selected to the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, which will take place Jan. 3, 2015 at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. A selection ceremony was held at Atlee High School on Monday, Nov. 3, where DeBerry’s family, friends and teammates were able to see him don his honorary jersey for the event. Only 90 high school players from across the country are

Atlee’s Loumond Dandridge (8) finds a big hole and scampers down field for a 58-yard touchdown run against Lee-Davis Friday.

the early deficit. He had 13 carries for 232 yards and four touchdowns to reach the 1,000yard milestone for the second straight season. “When we’re clicking on all cylinders, no one can beat us,” Dandridge said. “We don’t lose on our field. We haven’t lost in three years on this field. Atlee’s defense also forced five turnovers, and its special teams blocked two punts – both of which led to Raiders’ touch-

downs. Atlee needed a morale boost heading into the playoffs, after a lopsided 65-37 defeat to Highland Springs the week before. “We were able to show what our kids were made of, and just the hearts that they have,” said Atlee head coach Roscoe Johnson. For Johnson, the playoff opponent that they’ll draw isn’t his biggest concern. He

feels they can get the job done, regardless of the team they’ll have to face next week. “We respect everyone, but we fear no one – that’s just how we are,” Johnson said. Atlee star linebacker Ricky DeBerry didn’t play Friday night due to a dislocated shoulder that he suffered against Highland Springs last week. With it being the last home game of the season, DeBerry and many of his teammates were honored for

King William wastes no time taming Tigers By Jacob Downer For The Mechanicsville Local King William entered their final regular season game on Friday night with the knowledge that it could be the last home game for 17 Cavalier seniors. The team made absolutely certain that the memories from the contest would be good ones, as they steamrolled to a 77-0 victory over former Tidewater District foe King and Queen Central. The Cavaliers racked up nearly 400 yards of offense, 280 of which came in the first half, and had ten different players score touchdowns. The defense forced eight turnovers, seven of which were fumbles, and allowed the Royal Tigers to pick up only three first downs. “A lot of our seniors played great tonight,” said Cavaliers head coach Dylan DeHart. “I’m proud they were able to go out with a shutout and a big win to continue our dominance of the district.” King William has now won 11 Tidewater District titles since 2000 – six straight since 2009. King William entered the contest tied for the second-highest scoring average in Virginia High School League Group 2. Its high-octane offense was once again firing on all cylinders throughout the game with the Royal Tigers. The Cavaliers wasted little time seizing control of the contest, scoring a touchdown on their second play from scrimmage on a 13-yard run from senior quarterback Jacob Jones. After a quick turnover on their second possession, King William found pay dirt again on a 61-yard touchdown run from senior running back Camajae Peatross on the only play of the drive. Peatross finished with 178 total yards and

two touchdowns, and joined the esteemed 1,000-yard rusher club in the second quarter. He also added an interception on defense.

Sophomore Jerean Rogers provided one of the highlight plays of the evening on one of two touchdowns by the Cavalier defense late in the first quarter.

Rogers picked up a botched handoff and returned the ball 25 yards for the fourth touchdown of the night to make it 29-0.

While Jones was taking a quick break to get checked out on the sidelines in the second quarter, freshman quarterback Ryan Huffman came in for one play and threw a perfect 29yard pass that hit senior wideout Austin Simons in stride for the fifth King William touchdown of the night. Senior running back Malik King scored the final touchdown of the first half on a 1yard touchdown run to make the score 50-0 in favor of the hosts.

Jones opened the secondhalf scoring with a 14-yard touchdown pass to yet another senior, Jamal Johnson. Fellow senior Justin Ortiz was the next to join the flurry of touchdowns with a 2-yard scamper to make the score 64-0. Tyler Gilbertson, who plays on the offensive and defensive lines, was the final senior to score for the Cavaliers, rushing from 3 yards out. Sophomore Brenon Sawdy recorded the final score of the game on a 40-yard fumble return. “These seniors didn’t want to be the group that didn’t win the district,” DeHart said. “They had a chip on their shoulder and came out ready to work.” That does not mean the Cavaliers have no more work to do. “There are a few things that I’d like to clean up, mainly not putting the ball on the ground,” DeHart said. “That’s something we absolutely need to be better at. “I told the guys we’re going into a battle next week in the playoffs. No matter who we’re matched up with, it’s going to be a good team and we’ve got to pick up the little details. Small things turn into big things at this point in the season.” After the game, Jones looked back on his career and talked about avenging their first-round playoff loss last year to Nottoway with a better performance this year. “It’s been a great five years playing ever since eighth grade and I’ve loved every minute of it,” Jones said. “Last year we had a real tough playoff game [against Nottoway] and we couldn’t really get our offense together, but hopefully this year we’re going to make a big run. We just need to work on perfecting our execution and playing to the best of our abilities and we’ll see what happens.”

Hawks carry away Jaguars in season finale By Sean Korsgaard For The Mechanicsville Local Beneath a full moon and before a cheering home crowd, the Hanover Hawks couldn’t have asked for a better end to their regular season. Following a very one-sided 48-16 victory over the Glen Allen Jaguars last Friday night, the Hawks will be entering the playoffs with a four game winning streak. “This is the fourth week ina-row that we can say the entire team gave everything they had, where all the pieces fell into play, and we’ve come away with some very strong victories because of it,” said Hanover head coach Derek Stoudt. “The kids played great, they came out, did what they had to do, and now we’ve just got to do the same thing in the playoffs.” Hanover took a commanding lead very early on in the game, scoring 42-points in the first half. Thanks to a combination of strong defense by the Hawks and a number of costly penalties, any effort by the Jaguars to score was stopped

dead in its tracks for the first half of the game. Hanover however, was lighting up the scoreboard. Quarterback Clayton Cheatham passed for 160 yards and a touchdown and ran for nearly a hundred yards more – and scored four additional touchdowns in the process. Ryan Mallory ran for 98 yards. Linebacker Tabb Patrick stood out defensively, sacking Jaguar quarterback Jeremy Lacy twice, intercepting two passes and forcing a fumble. “It was a good game all around,” said Patrick “Defensively, we kept the pressure on them, we didn’t let up, and we played just as hard on the offense.” For the first half, if Glen Allen’s performance was defined by missed opportunity, the second half was defined by the Jaguars trying to make up for lost ground. The Jaguars came within the scoring distance several times during the third quarter, but the Hanover John Beebe/The Local

Atlee girls finish second in Region 5A South meet By Dylan Garner Richmond Times-Dispatch In the first 30 seconds of the 5A South boys cross country championship at Bells Mill Park in Chesapeake, Deep Run’s Matthew Novak took a one-step lead on the pack of 115 other runners competing alongside him. Novak never looked back, setting a personal record on his way to the individual championship. The boys’ team championship was tightly contested, with Douglas Freeman using its depth to win. Manchester, Clover Hill, Deep Run, Atlee and Lee-Davis

rounded out the top six. Similarly, the girls from Deep Run edged Atlee for their championship. Margot Brown of Deep Run finished second in the girls race with a time of 18:24. Atlee’s Caitlin Donovan (18:32) and Chloe Bavin (18:37) finished fourth and fifth, respectively. Novak stood out from the pack from the sound of the starting gun. He finished with an official time of 15:18. He was 28 seconds faster than Atlee’s Tre Fields, who finished second behind Novak in this race and at the conference meet. “The plan was to go wire to

wire from the beginning, but control the race and keep it at a decent pace,” Novak said. “The last time I ran a race like this, I ran a little too fast and it ended up hurting me in the end. This time, I took it a little more controlled.” Novak’s has blazed through his senior cross country season, winning seven of the nine races in which he has competed, with the others being secondand fifth-place finishes. He has big goals before the end of the season. With the hope of a state title, Novak wants to hit his stride for national competition. On Nov. 29, he will be

competing in the Foot Locker South Regional Cross Country Championship, which pits him against some of the best runners in the South. To qualify for the national competition, he needs a top-10 finish. He has to balance his improvement and training so he doesn’t peak too soon and perform poorly. “I haven’t tapered down as much as I did last year,” he said. “Last year, I think I hit my peak (at states), and I was definitely feeling it at Foot Locker and didn’t have my best race.” Coach Drew Spicer joined Deep Run three years ago and

has coached Novak since he was a sophomore. He has enjoyed seeing Novak’s success, and he will try to get the senior into top form at the right time. Until the state championships in The Plains next weekend, Spicer will be looking to keep Novak fresh while getting his speed up as well. “It’s going to be shorter, faster reps. His off-track runs will be shorter distances, and stuff like that,” Spicer said. Spicer has known Novak and his family since he ran with Novak’s sister, Megan, at see REGION, pg. 34

Princess Anne entered Friday’s Group 5A South Region field hockey final at the National Training Center in Virginia Beach with a game plan centered on passing. The Cavaliers accomplished what they set out to in dominating fashion, earning a 6-0 victory over Atlee. Both teams advance to Friday’s 10 a.m. state semifinals at the training Center. Princess Anne will take on the loser of the North Region final between Marshall and Mountain View, while Atlee will face the winner. “We needed something to work on, so we focused on passing today,” said Kristin Kisa, who had a goal and two assists. “It was something we felt would make us better and I think we did a really good job of that. It made us more successful and we were really able to play well as a team. “Our possession was really good because of that. We just wanted this so bad.” It didn’t take long for Princess Anne (20-1-1) to take advantage of that desire to win. Kisa pushed into the circle three minutes into the game

Deep Run in 2007. Growing up around Megan and Daniel, who set most of the school records at Deep Run before Matthew showed up, Matthew’s dedication to winning and perfection has never been a surprise for Spicer. “Matt continues to never lose focus, and he races to win no matter what,” Spicer said. “He’s just grown up and been

the Raiders’ 4-0 win over Manchester in the 5A South region field hockey semifinals. “It was really rewarding. We made the goals, from Numa [Rehmani, Atlee’s goalie] to the forwards.” Anna scored two goals in the first half and two more in the second half with an assist from Jamari Blackwell for the final goal. “We played a good game. We weren’t selfish and it went very well,” said Atlee senior Alyssa Cox. The Raiders (15-5) advanced to the Group 5A championship at the National Training Center in Virginia Beach at 10 a.m. Friday. “We keep fine-tuning ourselves from each game,” Atlee coach Alyssa Farling said. “We haven’t played Manchester, so we didn’t know how we would do.” Manchester (6-11) beat Henrico on Monday to advance to face Atlee, but couldn’t get the win at the River City Sportsplex. “I’m very happy with the Semifinal Atlee junior Hayley Anna way this year went and we will may have scored all four goals go out with our heads held high. Tuesday night, but she didn’t [Atlee] will see us in states next year,” said Manchester’s firstscore them alone. “When I scored, the whole team scored,” Anna said after see HOCKEY, pg. 36 and dumped the ball back to Lauren Smith for the only goal the Cavaliers would need. Princess Anne scored four more times in the first half – with Sammi Strohm scoring twice on assists from Kisa and sister Jackie Kisa. Jackie Kisa also had a goal. Sallie Johnson scored the final goal unassisted eight minutes into the second half and coach Denise O’Connell emptied her bench. “We played very well today, but we weren’t taking hard enough shots,” O’Connell said. “We played good defense and our passing was important today because they had some good athletes and we had to work around them.” Princess Anne outshot the Raiders (15-6) 19-0 and ended up with an 18-0 penalty corner advantage. The scoring gap would have been much worse were it not for the effort of Atlee goal keeper Emily Rogers, who made eight saves.

motivated that way.” While the larger goals linger, Novak is committing the next week and a half to preparing for the 5A state championship and finding his stride. With the pacing and strategy behind cross country racing, it is yet to be seen how much more Novak can cut down on the time he clocked Wednesday. He’s confident he’ll find that next level soon, however. “I definitely think I have another gear in me, and I’m ready to unleash it at states,”

Novak said. Sheldon Harris was LeeDavis’ top finisher, coming in 16th in a time of 16:19. Region 4A South Hanover’s girls finished sixth and the Hawks’ boys finished ninth in the Region 4A South meet at Bells Mill Park Thursday. Allison Burns was Hanover’s top finisher in either race. She finished 16th in the girls race with a time of 20:27. Teammate Mattie Grant finished 21st in 20:45.

Lee-Davis girls win conference volleyball title By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com For years, Lee-Davis girls’ volleyball team has run into a formidable obstacle in its quest for a Capital District/ Conference 11 title: Atlee. The two teams met in the Conference 11 final last year and it ended in the usual fashion, with Atlee on top. This year, however, the Confederates eliminated Atlee – the defending Group 5A state champion – in the semifinals Monday and rolled into the final Wednesday night at Mills Godwin like a team of destiny, sweeping the Eagles on their home court 25-15, 25-10, 25-8. The specter of Atlee was still felt as the Confederate faithful celebrated their conference championship. “We always had this big giant obstacle in front of us,” said Lee-Davis head coach Sharon Gaston. “We played hard and we were able to take care of that Monday night, but, I’ll tell you, they’re a great team and I

feel fortunate that we got past them.” The Confederates were not in the mood for an emotional letdown as they stepped on the court against Mills Godwin in the final. “It is a different feeling to be the one on top, and it feels good,” Gaston said. After the game, Lee-Davis team captains Kendyll Brown and Jordan Martin accepted the championship trophy.

“We’ve been waiting for a very long time for this opportunity,” Martin said. “And to actually, like win – it’s great.” Martin said this year’s LeeDavis team did one thing much better than last year’s team. “I think this year we worked really well together,” Martin said. “We always talked to each other and we had much better chemistry on the court.” Mills Godwin head coach Chris Wakefield said Lee-Davis

has been a phenomenon this year. “They are definitely a force to be reckoned with,” Wakefield said. “Out of all the teams this year, I think every team had to

account for those guys in every single match. They have nightmare matchups in every single place and Kendyll Brown is just a force in the middle.” The Confederates were led

by Claire Guertler with two aces, three kills and seven digs; Rianna Riccardi with 13 digs; and Rachel Gaston with four aces, eight kills and four digs.

Raiders’ boys fall to Deep Run in final By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Atlee’s boys’ volleyball team made the last two games of their Conference 11 tournament final against Deep Run interesting, but the Wildcats had plenty of cushion to survive the Raiders’ onslaught. Deep Run took advantage of a 6-point run to overtake Atlee in the fourth and final game and edged the Raiders in a see-saw battle down the stretch to claim a 25-23 victory in the game and a 3-1 victory in the match to claim the conference title at Mills Godwin Wednesday night.

Wildcats’ head coach Kevin Pond preferred a challenge to a sweep. “I wanted it to be more exciting anyway,” Pond said. “I didn’t want a sweep in three. It’s kind of boring.” The match looked headed for a sweep after the first two games, which Deep Run won 25-17, 25-16. But the Raiders, who had been struggling with hitting balls past the Wildcats’ defense, fought back with a 2522 win in the third game and led 14-10 in the fourth before Deep Run began its rally. “You can’t start that slow in big matches,” said Atlee head coach Nick Robinson. “We

looked out of it the first two sets – had to fight back after going down two sets. … You’ve lost all the momentum by that time. That’s just frustrating.” Deep Run’s defense did its share of frustrating the Raiders. “It starts with our libero, Tyler Mead,” Pond said. “His instincts are incredible. He reads fantastic. … It starts through him and it feeds through him, and the guys love playing defense.” The Wildcats were led by Mead with two aces and 12 digs, Craig Nelms with 25 kills and five blocks and Christian Taylor with 43 assists and eight digs. Atlee was led by Alex Rae

with 8 kills and four blocks, Khris O’Malley with six kills and three blocks and Chui Elliott with six kills. The Raiders had to get past their archrival, Lee-Davis, on Monday to earn a trip to the Conference 11 final and a berth in the Region 5A South tournament. Atlee swept the Confederates 25-18, 25-17, 2517. Raiders’ head coach Nick Robinson said their performance against Lee-Davis in the playoffs was better than it had been in the regular season. “I feel like we executed some things a little better this time than we did when we played them in the regular season,”

Hawks go the distance against Midlothian By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Neither Hanover nor Midlothian were willing to concede defeat in the Conference 20 boys’ volleyball championship Thursday night at Monacan High School. The two teams battled hard in back-and-forth action for five games – and even in the tiebreaker, they insisted on fighting it out for as long as possible, tieing it at 15-15 before one team could get an edge. By the time one team did, Hanover was the one on top. Hawks’ hitter Johnny Atwood got the final kill to cement Hanover’s 17-15 victory in the game and 3-2 victory in the match. “It was pretty crazy,” Atwood said. “We’re kind of known for beating teams ridiculously bad and then maybe letting them get one or two that are just a little bit too tight. So we’re glad we could close this one out like we’ve wanted to all season.” In the fifth game, the Hawks took a 7-1 lead before the Trojans roared back to go ahead 8-7. Hanover briefly regained the lead, but once Midlothian tied it 12-12, the teams traded points until they knotted it 1515.

year coach Stephanie Clark. The entire Atlee team rushed the field after time expired. They screamed and hugged one another after becoming the first Atlee field hockey team to advance to a region-championship game. “I’ve been coaching for 12 years and Atlee started a team 13 years ago,” Farling said. “I’ve almost been here the whole

Midlothian coach Randy Cox would have preferred a different outcome, but could not complain about the quality of the match. “It was a great match, especially for all you guys who got to sit there and watch it, it doesn’t get much better than that,” Cox said. “Yeah, I would have liked a better outcome for our side, but our guys played well.” The final victory wasn’t the Hawks’ only five-game win in the Conference 20 tournament. They took five games to beat Glen Allen in a semifinal Monday at Monacan High School. “It feels great in the end, man. It really does,” said Hanover blocker Elliott Sledd. “I don’t think it can be any more exciting than winning in five sets against someone you’ve lost to twice in the last two years – in the same game, the conference semis.” Sledd said intensity was the key to victory. When the Hawks lacked it, Glen Allen won – as the Jaguars did in the fourth game. When the Hawks had it, they won. “Everything else was going for us,” Sledd said. “If we don’t have that intensity and that togetherness as a team, we can’t go far. We can’t do anything.

time and this is the farthest we’ve ever gone. We have never made it past the first round of regionals.” Not far behind the girls who ran onto the field was Atlee senior Hannah Grasberger, who was on crutches because her left leg was in an air cast. Grasberger has been playing field hockey since her freshman year. She also plays soccer and tore her ACL in a soccer match earlier this season. Grasberger had surgery Friday, resulting her having to view from the

Best of luck to Hanover in the playoffs, next time we play, we’re going to make them work for it.” For Hanover however, the mood was celebratory. After a midseason “slump” in which the Hawks lost three straight games to top 10 teams, Hanover came back with a vengeance. Friday’s victory was the third in the last month that it won by more than 20 points. Hanover enters the playoffs on an undeniably hot streak. “We’re looking forward to seeing who we play next,” said Stoudt. “Whoever it is, we’re going back to work Monday.” Glen Allen Hanover

This meeting will not replace a design public hearing and comment period that will be held later during the design development of the project.

It appearing that the pleading names Unknown Heirs of Fannie S. Baylor, Deceased, And other Parties Unknown, as defendants, It is hereby ORDERED that Unknown Heirs of Fannie S. Baylor, Deceased, And other Parties Unknown appear on or before December 19th, 2014, at 9:00 a.m., in the Clerk’s Ofﬁce of this Court and do what is necessary to protect their interests.
