Veterans Day tradition continues in county

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

The Hanover Veterans Memorial is a small piece of hallowed ground off U.S. 301 reserved for the memory of those who served and sacrificed.

It’s a serious place dedicated to the men and women from Hanover County who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country, and also serves as a gathering place for the county’s veterans, friends and family to honor them each Veterans Day. Nov. 11 was no different, with about 200 people paying respect to those who served and returned, as well

This year’s guest speaker was retired Brig. Gen. Janice Igou. She recounted an unlikely journey to her current rank.

Igou attended Longwood University and attracted the attention of a persistent sergeant who urged her to consider a career in the United States Army.

While the choice may have seemed unlikely at the time, Igou said she doesn’t regret a minute of her decision to make the military a career choice.

A Mechanicsville development that was not agreed upon by the Hanover County Board of Supervisor on its first hearing is

getting a second chance at approval.

After approving a request to rescind last month’s decision to not approve a 68-lot development located near the Cool Spring, Atlee school corridor on Atlee Station Road, the supervisors agreed to rehear the

matter at their Dec. 10 meeting.

An additional public hearing is also scheduled for that date.

After the project failed to pass by a 4-3 vote last month, veteran supervisor Elton Wade expressed a desire to change his vote

from no to yes.

Ashland home destroyed in Monday morning blaze Staff Report news@mechlocal.com A home at 11070 Old Telegraph Road appears to be a total loss following a fire early Monday morning.

Jason Williams, battalion chief for Hanover Fire-EMS, said crews were dispatched at 5:41 a.m. to a possible brush fire in the area of Washington Highway and Old Telegraph Road.

After further investigation, fire crews discovered a residence fully engulfed in fire.

Williams said about 20 Fire-EMS personnel made a defensive attack on the fire and were able to bring it under control in about an hour. There were no injuries.

The Hanover Fire Marshal’s Office is working to determine what caused the fire.

“Hanover Fire-EMS reminds you to have working smoke alarms on each floor of your home and outside of each sleeping area.” Williams said.

He also said the department “recommends that smoke alarms greater than 10 years old be replaced.”

Anyone requiring special assistance with smoke alarms should contact the Hanover Fire-EMS Department at 804365-6195.

Background checks on volunteers debated

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local School systems throughout the region depend on volunteers to provide the extra services for students that stretched thin local budgets won’t allow.

It’s no different in Hanover County where dozens of dedicated volunteers spend countless hours coaching, tutoring, fundraising and providing any and all support necessary to ensure a quality education for county children.

Making sure those volunteers have no criminal backgrounds is the responsibility of school administration, and it appears some changes might be in order for the county’s current policy on background checks.

On first examination, Hanover County Public Schools’ policy seems consistent with other systems in the area, but a closer examination reveals differences.

Currently, volunteers submit annual forms at schools where they wish to work and the principal reviews the forms and compares them to Sex Offender Registry data. Final approval for volunteers to work in Hanover schools rests solely with the principal.

Other neighboring locali-

ties require background checks and fingerprinting for virtually all of their volunteers. Some also maintain a visitor management system that screens out sex offenders.

Cost of fingerprinting is $37 per application and some school divisions cover those costs.

Charla Cordle, assistant superintendent of human resources, outlined the current policy for board members to consider. She provided estimates for the number of unemployed volunteers who coach at Hanover schools. “We have as few as two, and other schools run closer to 20. From the data, it appears we have no more than 50 in a year,” she said.

“Many of them follow a process that is similar to ours,” Cordle said. “In addition, they do the criminal background check.

She said Hanover’s policy is similar to other localities.

“All of our regular employees have been fingerprinted.

Sometimes they take a couple of days and sometimes it takes a month,” Cordle said.

Some board members noted that volunteers are usually working in the presence of a coach and most don’t work unsupervised with children.

Board member Norman Sulser, Cold Harbor District,

said the county can’t afford to take a chance with one offender that slips through the cracks.

“They are not always with a head coach,” Sulser said. “I’d rather be safe than sorry. What we are talking about is $1,500.

If we can’t find $1,500 in a $170 million budget, we’re in deep trouble.” John Axselle, Beaverdam District, questioned the fairness of fingerprinting coaching volunteers while allowing classroom assistants to work without the check. Parents routinely visit elementary schools and read to classes, as well as participate in other activities.

“None of the head coaches are volunteers. All of our volunteers are supervised or work for or under the direction of head coaches,” Sue Dibble, South Anna District, said. “Where do we draw the line, and is it right for us to fingerprint everyone who walks through the door? I’m not sure where to begin or even it’s necessary or right to fingerprint our volunteers.”

Dibble said the volunteer pool has decreased significantly over the past few years.

“Surely we can’t ask them to volunteer and then ask them to pay $37 for a background check,” she said.

“I agree with Norm’s concern,” Hank Lowry, Ashland District, said. “If we do it for one, let’s do it for all. We can’t pick and choose and have to do it across the board.”

“We are checking every volunteer against the Sex Offender registry. That is a level of a background check. The second level that we’re not doing is the fingerprint,” Jamelle Wilson, superintendent of schools, said. “I believe that we should consider what we are trying to accomplish with this second level of review.”

Earl Hunter, Henry District, proposed random background checks and continued use of the current policy. Wilson said random selection could prompt legal issues.

Lower gas prices a double-edged sword?

From the editor

’Tis the season to think about those in need For those of us who have been fortunate enough to have never faced the reality of not having enough, now is the time to get out the wallet or checkbook and help those in need.

While we should be responsible year-round to those who have found themselves in difficult financial circumstances, many organizations and churches are actively working in the community to raise funds to ensure all families have food and gifts throughout the holiday season.

In Hanover County, and here at The Mechanicsville Local, we spotlight — and applaud — the efforts of the county’s Ruritan clubs and their Christmas Mother program.

Melanie McElhinney Goodpasture is representing Hanover County this year, with appearances at civic clubs, church groups and our beloved Christmas parades in Mechanicsville and Ashland.

The Christmas Mother is a wonderful tradition that brings welcome supplies as well as the magic of the season. Thanks to your continued support, all ages benefit with the food, toys and items to make for an enjoyable holiday.

Thanks to the Doswell Ruritan Club, which spearheads the Christmas Mother program, we are proud to serve as an outlet by sharing the list of donors. Those names mean funds are being funneled in to help our neighbors throughout the county.

To help the 2014 Hanover Christmas Mother, send your donation to Hanover Christmas Mother, P.O. Box 39, Doswell VA 23047.

Let’s make sure every resident of Hanover County can truly have a Merry Christmas.

While on the subject of Christmas, we’re going to keep reminding you that the Mechanicsville Christmas Parade will get underway an hour earlier than previous years. On Sunday, Dec. 7, the parade lineup will kick off at 2 p.m. rather than the traditional 3 p.m.

Just like the Hanover Tomato Festival, the Mechanicsville Christmas Parade is an event we consider a “must attend.” We’re usually lucky with pretty good weather and, of course, Santa Claus always makes an appearance. We’ll see you on the 7th — at 2 p.m.

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist Sometimes it seems like it’s hard to feel good about almost anything any more.

With gasoline prices at their lowest prices in four years, one might assume that’s good news for everyone.

After all, past experience illustrates that reduced gas prices equate to a stimulated economy that readily takes advantage of lower fuel prices and other reductions in cost of doing

business associated with lowered gasoline prices.

The current decrease in oil prices is more complicated. With the United States assuming the role as the world’s largest oil producer, the industry is a major player in the American economy.

In the past several years, the boom in shale oil production in the United States has resulted in a major expansion of the industry that some conclude relies on steady oil prices to maintain production due its narrow

profit margins.

There’s no doubt Middle East producers are not happy with the new glut of American oil. Running the cost of oil per barrel to new lows is, what some have speculated, an attempt aimed directly at fracked American oil.

That ignores latest shale oil industry figures that show a steadily declining cost of operation, and officials say the industry can still survive with see GAS, pg. 8

Discussions are a start to confronting drug issue On Thursday, Nov. 6, I was reminded why I choose to raise my two young sons in Hanover County.

For the past two months I’ve been part of a committee put together by the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office and Hanover County Public Schools to host a community drug forum.

On Nov. 6, nearly 200 students representing all of the Hanover County high schools came together along with dozens of community leaders to discuss the challenges alcohol and drugs pose to our area youth. The forum took place at Hanover High School.

The discussions took place in 10 breakout groups that were moderated by students from VCU and RandolphMacon College.

During these discussions our students made one thing clear: Our young people are facing the same challenges associated with alcohol, marijuana, heroin, prescription medications and other drugs that every other community in this country is facing.

Whether it’s the availability of these substances or the lack of conversations they’re having with their parents that put our kids at risk, simply living in Hanover County doesn’t guarantee our kids won’t face and cave in to the temptations of drugs.

When it comes to drugs and alcohol, we cannot afford to say: “Thank God this is Hanover County where our kids don’t have to face the challenges of alcohol and drugs.”

What we can say, though, may be more important. It’s why I raise my kids here. We can say that the sheriff of

this county and the superintendent of schools care enough about these challenges to call our community together to discuss them.

And, in discussing them, they come away with a determination to look within the organizations they manage and outward to the communities they serve and boldly ask: What are each and every one of us going to do to protect our kids from the alcohol and drug tragedies that end young lives in this country, and indeed in our own county, at rates that should put all of us on guard?

To ignore that question is to minimize the risks alcohol and drugs pose to the future of our kids and to the future of this Hanover County so many of us regard as a wonderful place to call home.

The sheriff and the superintendent are committed to make sure the recent discussions become the solutions of years to come. They’ve taken the first step. This community needs to take the next one.

said. “That is partially due to the fact that I voted the wrong way.”

Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley, Beaverdam District, supported his longtime colleague’s request.

“I am supporting the motion to descend largely because of my respect for Mr. Wade,” he said.

“I think Mr. Wade exhibits strong character by standing up. When a man makes a mistake and stands up and tries to correct it, I support that,” Mechanicsville representative Canova Peterson said.

A number of residents expressed safety concerns at last month’s public hearing for students attending the three schools in the area if traffic is increased with additional development.

Chairman Sean Davis, Henry District; Wayne Hazzard, South Anna District; Stanley and Wade voted against approval while Angela Kelly-Wiecek, Chickahominy District; Ed Via, Ashland District; and Peterson voted to approve the project.

Wade offered no explanation as to why he wanted to change his vote and asked that the supervisors rescind their previous decision and rehear the matter.

Hazzard, vice chair, did not mince words as he described the current dilemma in terms of a comprehensive plan that is not working for Hanover County.

“Our comprehensive plan is not comprehensive enough,” Hazzard said. “When you add a school complex as large the Atlee, Cool Spring, Chickahominy complex, you also have to include pedestrian

He also expressed regret that the developer has to endure the process. “Hopefully, it will head us in a direction so that our Comprehensive Plan will be more than a consolidation plan.”

Davis expressed reservations regarding the evolution of this reconsideration and also supported a re-examination of the Comprehensive Plan.

traffic if it is truly comprehensive,” he said.

Hazzard said the county’s road committee should examine road priorities if dense development is going to continue on Atlee Station Road.

“I also think we should look at our Comprehensive Plan and make sure we address areas that have the impact of school complexes in close proximity to proposed developments,” Hazzard said.

Dibble said she would have difficulty endorsing a policy that would require parents who read to children in class to have a background check.

“Are we trying to fix something that’s not broken?” Axselle added.

Sulser and Dibble agreed to assist staff in coming up with recommendations that will be presented to the board at its January meeting.

And, that’s a positive step toward energy independence.

It’s also a reminder of the sad reality of economics that, when someone gets lower prices, someone else pays.

It was later in the evening when I talked to a Republican and was informed that my vote for the Democrats would not get me, my family or friends a share of any kickbacks as a result of the Republican victory.

I also was reminded that the last election I may have promised to vote Republican this election. I possibly could have made that promise so another reason to do the right thing and change my vote.

I’m not sure how this is normally handled so if anyone else has been this dumb, give me a call at 1-800-TOODUMB (to be home alone) and give me your solution.

forth comments between the people.

Since June I’ve read a lot of things in The Mechanicsville Local and elsewhere that really frustrated me. But, in the end, I realize when your candidate and candidates win, all the frustration goes away because the election results have the final say.

It was said before Dave Brat won the primary because only Tea Partiers and Democrats voted for him. It was said Dave Brat is a Libertarian. It was said Dave Brat was nowhere to be seen and only talked to crowds that agreed with him. It was said Dave Brat dodges debates and etc.

The funny part is the election results from Nov. 4 told a different story. Dave Brat won with 61 percent of the vote to Jack Trammell’s 37 percent.

In 2012, Eric Cantor won re-election in a closer contest 58 percent to Wayne Powell’s 41 percent. And Libertarian James Carr was on the ballot too, receiving 2.2 percent of

the vote.

So, did only Tea Partiers and Democrats vote for Dave Brat on Nov. 4? Was his June 10 victory a fluke? Did Dave Brat only speak to crowds that agreed with him? Well, potentially, but I personally highly doubt it.

I think the voters before June 10 felt a real connection with Dr. Brat of what a true representative and felt that same connection after the primary and towards Election Day. Now I’m not political expert but I’m willing to admit that even though others talk like they are and feel they can label voters for what they are when in theory they have no idea.

Back in June I voted for Dr. Brat on paper as a Republican but actually what I am is an American, so I respectfully ask to those who label people when it comes to politics to let each individual person label themselves for who they are.

I know it was more than just

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has two wonderful pets available to a good home. Missy, 381462, is an 8-month-old female domestic shorthair cat. She has had her first set of vaccines and is FELV/FIV test negative. Missy is a young cat that has a very sweet personality. She was very shy when she first arrived at the shelter, but she has really become more affectionate. Missy might do better being an indoor cat. She has never really been outside. Russell, 379548, is a 1-year-old male hound. He has had his first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative.

Russell has a very playful personality. He gets along very well with other dogs. Russell loves to run and will do well in a household that has a yard where he can play. For more information on these two great pets, as well as the many more still in need of homes at the Hanover County Pound Facility, call 804-365-6485 during the day. The hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The facility is closed on Sunday and county holidays. You also can visit the website to see other animals available for adoption at http://hanovercounty.gov/Animals/Adopt-a-Pet/.

Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com This year’s Pumpkin Chunk-a-Thon to benefit Hanover Arc raised more than $3,000.

Ashwood Gardens and Nursery hosts the annual event, with all proceeds going towards Hanover Arc’s mission to serve adults and children with developmental disabilities, and to create “a life like yours”.

Colonial Farm Credit, one of the Chunk-aThon’s many sponsors, took home the coveted trophy for the farthest pumpkin chunked from the wooden trebuchet, soaring 226 feet to victory.

Other sponsors included the Thurman family, the Ruh family, the Parker family, Fine Metals (Friends for Life), Diamond Springs, G.E. Paine Electric Company Incorporated, Ashcake Landfill, and First Potomac Realty Trust.

Carnival games were set up on the lawn and provided fun for kids and adults alike, including a mini catapult, moon bounce, face painting, pumpkin bowling and hay rides. The goats also attracted quite a bit of attention.

“We are Unique” provided hot cider and gave out baked goods provided by Williams Bakery. The Boardwalk Hot Dogs food truck was on hand.

Lucky winners took home raffle prizes every hour, thanks to donations from Pump It Up, Skateland of Ashland, Sweet Frog, AMF

and Jan were active members of First Presbyterian Church.

Gordon loved singing and sang in the church choir more than 30 years. He cherished his time singing there and in the Jubilation Choir and the many friends he made. He and Jan were also active members of the Briarwood Swim and Racquet Club, where they frequently played tennis.

in Mechanicsville. Considering her meek and humble demeanor, it came as a great surprise when she auditioned to sing with the Richmond Choral Society. Upon her acceptance, she participated in many performances at Dogwood Dell and the Richmond Opera House, formerly known as The Mosque. In 1968, Judy married the love of her life, Robert E. Richards. Following his service in the United States Army, they moved to Glen Allen, where they raised their family of four children, including one daughter and three sons. Judy served as a Henrico County school bus driver for over 20 years.

Judy’s lasting and indelible legacy was her willingness and need to serve others. Her strong Christian faith was evident in her kind and tireless approach to uplifting and encouraging those around her. She also had an incessant love for animals.

Around Judy, there was never such a thing as a ‘stray’ animal. It was simply waiting for her to come along and give it a home. Judy is survived by her mother, Margaret Tabscott; sister, Lynn Jones; husband, Robert Richards; daughter, Misty Richards of Louisa; sons, James Richards of Cleveland, Tennessee, Jason Richards of Richmond, and Ryan Richards of Mechanicsville; four granddaughters, three nephews and a number of other relatives and close friends.

Gordon attended the University of Michigan and graduated with a degree in aeronautical engineering. While at the University of Michigan, he met his future wife, Janet Buckwalter. Upon graduation in 1952, he went to work for Ethyl Corporation as a junior engineer and after 35 years with Ethyl retired in 1987, as director of advertising and sales promotion. During the course of his career, Gordon worked in Detroit, San Bernardino, New York, Houston and finally in Richmond, where he won the “Ad Man of the Year” award in 1987. His work took him all over the world, and he made lifelong friends everywhere he lived and traveled. In Richmond, he

warm smile and the twinkle in his eyes. Although he faced many adversities, he overcame them all to lead a good, long life and was rewarded with the love of his family and friends.

He attended Cass Tech High School and enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps before he was actually old enough to serve, then served in Germany toward the end of World War II, reaching the rank of Sergeant. He was always a good student and loved competing against his brother, Robert, for grades and scholarships. When the teaching ranks of his high school were depleted due to the war, he was asked to teach several classes even though he was still a student himself. After the war,

Family Owned and Operated Since 1969

Last year, A.D. and Jean Whittaker donated the Ashland Theater at 207 England St. to the Town of Ashland.

The town is working to bring life back to the theater through a combination of grants and other funding sources.

While those plans are being finalized, the Ashland Main Street Association has volunteered to get the theater up and running, as well as present movies and other programming.

The goal is to build energy and enthusiasm for the theater so that when it is renovated there will be a community of supporters already in place.

The first movie being shown at the theater will be “When Harry Met Sally” at 7:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 21.

Tickets will be $5 and sold at the door.

Hanover Tavern seems to get creepy on Halloween Investigators listen for things that go bump in the night

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Just walking up the third floor steps at Hanover Tavern during daylight hours can make the hair stand up on your back as various sounds emerge from the centuries-old planks.

Couple that with a cloudfilled, partially moonlit Halloween night and the aura at the historic landmark gets downright creepy.

For about 32 dedicated spook enthusiasts, the scary atmosphere was just the type of adventure they were looking for on a Halloween evening.

The Hanover Tavern Foundation hosted a paranormal investigation on the history-filled site where participants paid $50 each to search

for spirits, all of it going to the tavern’s fundraising efforts.

According to foundation director David Deal, the tavern has its share of ghost sto-

“There’s something here. Every time we come to investigate we walk away with evidence of some sort of activity.”

ries. It’s also not the first time investigators have visited the site to search for evidence of paranormal activity.

The Halloween tour includ-

ed sessions in the old jail, the theatre, a room upstairs and a spot in the old courthouse where groups gathered to entice spirits to make their presence known.

Deal said the tavern has a long history of accommodating travelers of all sorts and its legacy includes many tales of death and other horrors.

Steve Dills, director of Transcend Paranormal, headed a team of investigators who examined the various sites and accumulated scientific data to confirm activity in the old wayside inn.

“There’s something here,” Dills said. “Every time we come to investigate we walk away with evidence of some sort of activity.”

Dills pursues paranormal activity as a hobby and per-

forms investigations around the state.

“We do scientific-based investigating with recording equipment. During the eve-

ning, we generally won’t know if there’s anything until we analyze the data,” Dills said.

Dills will present a report to Deal once all the information

is complete.

LETTERS Continued from pg. 8

Tea Partiers and Democrats who voted for Dr. Brat back in June because I met the voters out “in the field.” Most people I met were everyday citizens of the 7th District who vote and for the most part aren’t with a political party or outside organization like the Tea Party.

And you know what I found with those voters? Frustration with politics, frustration with Washington, D.C, and frustration with government.

Feel free to call me out if you think it’s inaccurate but

that’s what I saw and found both prior to June 10 and after.

I was a part in some way or another with the Dave Brat campaign since he first entered the race back in January. What a journey!

I personally met a lot of wonderful people and had some of the best experiences of my life during the past year. The Strawberry Fair was amazing — lots of high energy of “We can do this — we can restore America to be successfully.” That day was special.

I also can’t thank Dr. Brat enough for going to my Eagle

Scout Court of Honor with just nine days before the Primary Election and meeting with those who attended. He took time out of his schedule to do that and not just a five-minute “walk around the block” either.

2014 was a special year and not just with the Dave Brat campaign but elections all across America.

Republicans did just take control of the U.S. Senate but won big gubernatorial races in states like Maryland with Larry Hogan and Massachusetts with Charlie Baker.

Before I close out, I give a

thanks to Jack Trammell who ran against Dr. Brat. I had the pleasure of meeting him at the Hanover Tomato Festival and I must say Mr. Trammell is a very nice guy and down to earth, I just wasn’t the biggest fan of his ideology and campaign platform but Trammell and Brat ran one of the more positive campaigns in the state and I’d say the country.

I just want to say to those who write also and down on Dr. Brat and Republicans that I do not regret at all being a part of the Republicans, voting for Dave Brat in the June 10 primary and voting for

you’ve done! We have many in my family alone so thank you again and God bless!

Republicans in the November mid-term.

In fact, I am proud to be conservative or what I like to call myself from time to time a Perot Republican.

My words to the people of Hanover is make your own choices, don’t base your voting off of what others say and write. Do your own research and as Ross Perot once said “Vote your conscience.”

It’s been great to be in Hanover and I look forward to the years to come!

STEM education initiative for preschoolers launched Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com The Rainbow Station at Hanover Medical Park participated in the ninth annual Touch-a-Truck event Oct. 4 in an effort to incorporate more STEM education into its curriculum for children ages 2 to 4.

The event, sponsored by the Junior League of Richmond and held at Richmond International Raceway, welcomed children to see, touch and safely explore big trucks and heavy machinery such as tractors, emergency responders and utility trucks.

As part of Rainbow Station’s new STEM initiative, Adria Bader, the brand’s curriculum and leadership specialist, created a project for preschool participants.

To help build a foundation for science, technology, engineering and math, children were encouraged to explore the trucks and answer questions such as: “How many different colors do you see?” “What does the radio need so you can hear the music?” and “Look at and identify some parts of the engine that make the bus run.”

There have been numerous sightings of a lady in a black dress gliding through the old tavern. “In fact, my daughter saw an apparition of that lady in the black dress last year,” Deal said.

The reportings come from various sources. “We’ve had reports like that from the restaurant staff, theatre staff and foundation staff for years,” he said.

The tales provided the motivation for Deal to pursue the paranormal investigations.

“The stories are what got me interested in starting this,” he said.

The oldest part of today’s tavern was built in 1791.

“It’s had lots of visitors over the years. We’ve had documented deaths due to disease, children and adults over the years.”

“A STEM emphasis encourages children to ask questions, look for patterns, identify potential problems and possible solutions, and test hypotheses,” Dr. event ended around 2 a.m.

Deal said the tavern has a long legacy of paranormal activity covering centuries.

“Over the years, we’ve had lots of stories where people have seen apparitions, heard things and been touched,” Deal said. “In the eight or 10 times we’ve investigated with Transcend, they’ve captured voice and sounds that can’t be explained.”

Rainbow Station preschoolers at the Mechanicsville location recently took part in a Touch-a-Truck event to learn more about science, technology, engineering and math.

Nicole Thomas-Jackson, director of curriculum and training at Rainbow Station, said. “Helping children learn to explore and question the world around them is just one of the many benefits a STEM curriculum provides.”

Throughout the country, large strides have been taken to improve STEM education in middle schools and high schools due to the labor shortage in the math and engineering fields. However, few schools introduce STEM at the preschool and early-childhood level.

“By integrating STEM at an early age, we can shift the paradigm of learning by incorporating hands-on experience with our proprietary, teacher-developed curriculum,” Heather Dapper, preschool director at Rainbow Station at Hanover Medical Park, said.

Currently the brand incorporates STEM education through preschool themes such as “Cooking Chemistry,” where students focus on the type of reactions that take place when recipes are baked vs. frozen.

“We’re investigating four sites tonight,” Deal said. “There are two investigators with each group and they will go to four sites — two in the tavern itself and one in the courthouse and one in the jail.”

Groups rotated sites after the 45-minute sessions. The

The 45th Ashland/Hanover Olde Time Holiday Parade, presented by the Ashland Kiwanis Club, will get underway at 2:30 p.m.

Sunday, Nov. 23, at Thompson Street and South Snead Street in the Town of Ashland.

According to organizers, this event signals the beginning of the Thanksgiving and Christmas seasons for the region.

This year, 105 units are scheduled to participate. They will be led by Chief Douglas Goodman of the Ashland Police Department, who is the 2014 Grand Marshal.

The parade route follows Thompson eastbound, turns north onto Henry Street through Randolph-Macon College and ends at Archie Cannon Drive in front of John Gandy Elementary School.

The 45th annual parade will include the 2014 Hanover Christmas Mother, Patrick Henry High School Marching Band, a Navy ROTC marching unit, the Caroline High School Band, horse units

and YMCA Indian Guides/Princesses.

Also taking part will be that jolly old elf, Santa Claus, who will be riding high atop an antique fire truck.

Santa is scheduled to arrive around 4:15 p.m. at the end point of the parade.

To keep with the theme, the Olde Time Holiday Parade will feature antique automobiles, farm tractors and fire trucks.

The Ashland Kiwanis Club has entered a float that will have students and their parents from Henry Clay, John Gandy, Elmont and Kersey Creek elementary schools that were recognized for their perfect attendance during the 2013-2014 school year.

The Kiwanis Club has sponsored the perfect attendance challenge to the students for many years and awards two bicycles and gift certificates to the winners from each school.

Spectators also will see units from Hampton and Richmond driving their new and antique Mustangs and Corvettes, as well as many Boy and Girl Scout troops.

Fire-EMS department needs members, volunteers Hanover’s Fire-EMS is seeking new members.

Those interested in becoming members will be able to engage in community service, public service, civic duty, learning opportunities and rewarding experiences.

Members assist with the training needed to become an Emergency Medical Technician

(EMT) or earn Virginia Firefighter certifications.

This volunteer commitment provides challenge, achievement, self satisfaction, teamwork, camaraderie and other benefits.

Persons who are dedicated, able to commit the time, and willing to learn will find Fire and Rescue to be “an excellent

volunteer activity.”

Hanover Fire-EMS welcomes ages 16 and up, teenagers to seniors and retirees.

Administrative, “non-operational” positions and volunteers with the skills need to help “run a business” are invited to visit to learn more.

To arrange a tour and introduction, call 804-365- 6195.

Teachers approach these with the idea of providing students the opportunity to explore everyday concepts through a STEM perspective.

“STEM learning encourages students to think about the things they see every day, question why things happen,

and how they could change or alter the reaction to get a different outcome,” Thomas Jackson added.

Hawks have no problem pulling Tabb down

By Matthew Stoss For The Mechanicsville Local Clayton Cheatham doesn’t bother much with stutter steps, jukes, or any other feints or acts of sleight-of-foot to avoid tacklers. The Hanover High School quarterback is more elegant than that. He just runs straight ahead – like a horse, according to one teammate – and then, he runs away.

Just like in Friday night’s first-round 4A South playoff game.

The 16-year-old sophomore ran, unofficially, for a careerbest 276 yards – including a 97-yard charge – on 30 carries, scoring all four of Hanover’s touchdowns, to lead the seventh-seeded Hawks to a 32-14 win over No. 10 Tabb.

Hanover (8-3) advances to the quarterfinals for the second straight season and will travel to face second-seeded 10-1 Heritage of Newport News, which beat No. 15 Churchland 35-11 Friday.

Cheatham and the offensive line carried Hanover to the quarterfinals, and Cheatham said Tabb’s defense was the reason he got so many carries.

“We stuck with what was working,” the 6-2, 205-pounder said. “I mean, they were pinching a lot on the edges, so the first half especially, we took advantage of what their defense was doing, and it ended up where I

Hanover quarterback Clayton Cheatham has his blockers clear a big hole as he heads down field for another big gain in the Hawks’ 32-14 victory over visiting Tabb in the first round of the Region 5A South football playoffs Friday.

had to keep the ball a lot, and it worked out.”

In the first half, Cheatham, the younger brother of James Madison tight end Deane Cheatham, had 147 yards and two touchdowns on 17 carries.

In the second half, he ran 12 times for a 129 yards and scored two more touchdowns. The sec-

ond was Cheatham’s highlight of the night.

With 1:50 left and Hanover up 25-14, he ran 97 yards on a simple outside option that coach Derek Stoudt estimated that the Hawks had run 10 times that night, dusting linebackers and defensive backs, to the end zone.

According to the Virginia High School League’s record book – which relies on schools self-reporting, and thus, isn’t completely accurate – Cheatham’s 97-yard touchdown ties the record for the longest TD run in VHSL history. The mark was first reached in 1991.

“Obviously the offensive

line up opened up a great hole,” Cheatham said. “My running back, he just said right before the play, ‘Follow me on this play.

Trust me, I got your back.’ I followed him, trusted him, and it broke lose.”

Cheatham’s other touchdowns were for 45, 21 and 1 yards. He also had a 67-yarder

negated by a block-in-the-back penalty. That was part of a 16play drive that would have been nice, excluding that block-inthe-back call and the fumble to end it.

Hanover fumbled five times Friday, losing two of them.

Three of the fumbles came on bad snaps, including one that went for a 27-yard loss on fourth down. The Hawks also came within a few extra-buttery fingers of intercepting at least three Tabb passes, which were rare for the Wing-T-running Tigers.

Hanover held Tabb to just 102 yards rushing.

“We practiced (for the WingT) all week,” Hawks defensive back Ryan Mallory said. “We knew they were going to run us, run us, run us, then try to get us over the top. We were there to stop it.”

But other than the fumbles, could-have-been interceptions, and a second-quarter 61-yard Tabb touchdown pass, Stoudt said he was pleased.

“We responded well to the mistakes that we made,” the former University of Richmond lineman said. “We had that deep ball hit us in the first half. We had the fumble in the end zone.

Other than that, I felt like that was the cleanest game we played all year. We came into halftime and we’re just like, ‘Look, it’s two plays they hit us on. Two plays is see TABB, pg. 35

Atlee falls in playoff rematch with Skyhawks Mines scored again on a 45-yard run at 5:45 of the third period, and the Elliottto-Wilkins tandem lit up the Raiders for a 35-yard touchdown at 8:46 of the fourth.

“We followed our assignments,” said Wilkins, who doubles as a cornerback. “If everybody does their job and we click on all fours, we can come out on top.

“We don’t worry about the other team as much. We just want to perfect our game and play as a team.

Bird amassed 493 yards of offense: 350 by land, 143 by air.

Atlee, which runs an explosive, no-huddle offense, managed just 217 total yards on 38 snaps.

“Our kids played hard.

That’s one thing – they didn’t give up,” said Atlee head coach Roscoe Johnson. “We couldn’t stop them. Sometimes they beat us at the point of attack as far as their offense and our defense.

It’s just one of those nights – the best team won.”

By Weldon Bradshaw For The Mechanicsville Local On a bone-chilling, fingernumbing Friday night, the L.C. Bird Skyhawks were smoking.

So what else is new?

“We knew coming out that it would be freezing,” said quarterback Jalen Elliott of the mid-30s temperature. “So we all bundled up, layered up and came out here and got the win.”

In the first round of the 5A South playoffs, coach David Bedwell’s team did so with aplomb and precision.

Relying heavily on their running game with several wellconceived pass plays, the twotime defending state champs dispatched visiting Atlee 34-13 to improve to 9-2 and end the Raiders’ season at 8-3.

“We had to pick and choose when we threw the ball,” said Bedwell, whose team is ranked No. 4 in the Times-Dispatch Top 10.

“We had a great matchup with (wide receiver) Tyler Wilkins. He made some great plays. Jalen made some great throws, but we were able to run the ball like we wanted to.

“If you’ve ever seen a Bird football game, that’s kind of what we do.”

No. 7 Atlee jumped ahead 6-0 midway through the first quarter on a 66-yard touchdown pass from Rasharrd Harris to Tramell Carey.

Bird answered with two quick scores, a 2-yard run by Stephen Mines early in the second and a 25-yard Elliottto-Wilkins connection at 6:31 to end an eight-play, 77-yard drive.

“They ran man-to-man coverage,” said Wilkins, a 6-1, 175-pound senior. “They had no safety over the top, so I read it and left the rest in God’s hands.”

King William advances, Patriots fall in playoffs

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com King William and Patrick Henry both took long road trips for the first round of their respective football playoffs Friday night.

King William traveled to Strasburg for the first round of the Region 2A East playoffs, and the Cavaliers handily beat the Rams 37-12.

Patrick Henry headed to Dumfries to play Potomac. The two teams went back and forth, but the Panthers finished with a 31-28 edge after the Patriots failed to make good on a late field goal attempt.

King William head football coach Dylan DeHart said his team were very well focused on their mission.

“We went out really focused.

It was probably the most focused I’ve seen the team all year, especially pre-game,” DeHart said.

“They had the look in their eyes that they were ready to go to work. … We didn’t play perfect, but I thought we played some really good football, and we capitalized on what they gave us.”

Running back Camajae Peatross had a stellar game for King William, carrying the ball 24 times for 305 yards and a touchdown. Quarterback Jacob Jones completed 9 of 11 passes for 103 yards and two touchdowns. He also had nine carries for 80 yards.

DeHart said the offensive line was key to the Cavaliers’ success.

“Our offensive line played a really good game,” DeHart said. “I think we averaged over 10 yards a carry. I don’t know,

I think we had close to 600 yards of offense at the end of the night.”

Patrick Henry quarterback Hunter Hart had three touchdowns in the Patriots’ loss to Potomac. The Patriots’ finished 6-5 for the year – not a bad result for a team few expected to make the playoffs this week.

“I guess my duty in life, to prove people wrong,” said Patrick Henry’s first-year head football coach Bryan Davis.

“That’s the kind of jobs I take. I take jobs that nobody else seems to get interested in. I think we did probably overachieve on a lot of levels, but we were able to get better over the course of the year.”

The Patriots’ fortunes began to change with their stunning victory over Lee-Davis in the Tomato Bowl in October. Davis

Novak takes cross country title; Atlee girls 4th

By Dylan Garner Richmond Times-Dispatch Whether it was making school history, continuing a dynasty or celebrating a birthday in style, there was a lot for Richmond’s teams to be happy about at the VHSL cross country championships at Great Meadow Park in The Plains Saturday.

Three different championships were awarded to Richmond teams and runners at the chilly culmination to the cross country season.

Deep Run’s Matthew Novak won the 5A boys individual championship, while Douglas Freeman took the event as a team. Midlothian followed with a boys’ championship of its own in the 4A title race.

Atlee’s Tre Fields finished third in the 5A boys’ race, but the Raiders finished 10th overall. Lee-Davis finished 11th.

Atlee’s girls, led by Caitlin Donovan and Chloe Bavin with

sixth- and 10th-place finishes, respectively, finished fourth overall in their race.

Hanover finished 12th in the Group 4A girls’ race.

Novak jumped out to an 18-second lead two miles into the 5A boys’ race, and he finished it with a similar level of dominance that he’d exhibited throughout the season for a time of 15:46.

As his victory was recognized at the awards podium, the crowd serenaded him. Novak got to enjoy his state title on his birthday. It was an extra bonus for Novak.

“I’ve been wanting to do this for such a long time,” Novak said. “There are really no words to describe it, I’m just so excited.

It’s a perfect way to end my cross country career with these great guys. They’ve been inspiration to me.”

Wildcats oust Atlee from state field hockey tourney

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Mountain View forward Gretchen Geisler scored three goals as the Wildcats’ offense overwhelmed Atlee 6-0 in a VHSL Group 5A field hockey semifinal at the USA Field Hockey National Training Center in Virginia Beach Friday morning.

Geisler gave the Wildcats (18-3) all the offense they needed with 14:10 to go in the first half when she, with an assist by forward Jasmin Shelton, got the game’s first goal.

Geisler added an unassisted goal with 11:42 left in the game, and the game’s final goal, with an assist by midfielder Olivia Hubert, with 18 seconds on the clock.

While none of the Raiders preferred to lose, head field hockey coach Alyssa Farling said she was pleased with the team’s accomplishments.

“I’m proud of them as a

team,” Farling said. “This is history making for us, just to be here in the state semifinals.

They played with heart. They played the whole game, and they fought for it the whole time.”

The Raiders certainly fought hard. They faced a withering fire from the Wildcats’ offense – with 32 shots on goal and two strokes – yet gave up only the six goals.

“I wanted us intense – in the circle from the start,” said Mountain View head field hockey coach Pattie Sullivan.

“We definitely got there and fired, but missed so many opportunities early.”

Mountain View scored twice in the first half, but picked up its final three goals in the final 15 minutes of the game as the Raiders (15-7) began moving their defenders up to boost their offense.

“We were … trying to play more offensively,” Farling said.

5A championship, the boys from Douglas Freeman were fine crowding the area behind him. After one mile, the Rebels already had a commanding lead. All seven of the Douglas Freeman runners were in the top 23.

The group faced more pressure from Thomas Jefferson (Alexandria) as the race progressed. But the group committed to the strategy of running as a unit, and it paid off. Freeman was led by Waleed Suliman, who finished in 15th.

Suliman, a breakout sophomore, was closely followed by his senior peers to secure the first state cross country title for Freeman since 1969.

“Freeman’s had a great tradition of cross country leading up to ‘69 and after ‘69, but very few on the state championship side,” said Freeman coach Brian Reutinger. “So to be able to

come and get one feels good. It feels well deserved.”

Coach Stan Morgan’s Midlothian teams have had more experience winning championships than most others, and this year was no different. Collin Hahn, Evan Benjamin and Randy Hahn finished second, fourth and seventh, respectively, in the 4A race as the Trojans dominated as a team.

Midlothian finished with a score of 35, far ahead of the second place team from Fauquier, who had 100 points.

As great of a tradition as the Trojans have had, Morgan’s group still managed to accomplish something no other boys’ team had in school history — win back-to-back championships.

“A lot of these kids want to come into the program and carry on the tradition,” Morgan said. “I’m pretty fortunate. I feel blessed. … It takes a special kid, to me, if you want to be a good cross country runner.”

Hawks’ boys volleyball team makes school history

By Arthur Utley For The Mechanicsville Local Postseason form has been far better than midseason form for the Hanover boys’ volleyball team.

The Hawks, competing in a state volleyball tournament for the first time in school history, are 16-10, but the majority of the losses occurred early and into the middle of the season.

Down the stretch and into the playoffs, Hanover has been a different team. Stellar play against Midlothian in a five-set match two weeks ago earned the Hawks the Conference 20 championship.

The Trojans, who defeated Hanover in five sets during the regular season, were the acknowledged favorites in the conference.

The teams went five sets again last week in the 4A Western Region tournament final. Midlothian lost the first two games but roared back to win the next three for the championship. Both teams qualified for the state tournament.

Senior captain and outside hitter Elliott Sledd says the Hawks “have really come together as a team. During the

often, especially because boys’ volleyball isn’t a popular sport at Hanover. It’s nice to show people we can compete at a high level.”

Hanover is in the state tournament for the first time, but coach Hilary Cassil has been before when she coached the Monacan High School boys’ team. What can she pass on to the Hawks from her experience?

“First of all, every team from here on out is going to be tough, so we have to fight for every point if we want to win,” Cassil said. “Secondly, there is a lot of pressure they put on themselves by making it to states, and we have to stay mentally tough. ”We have to play focused and aggressive but relaxed at the same time. Being tentative because you don’t want to mess up does not win games. Play with confidence and leave it all on the court.”

Hanover and Midlothian Dave Lawrence/The Local have developed a rivalry since Hanover’s Ben Anderson (12) and Lee Olyenik (10) try to block a shot by Midlothian’s Nick Spichiger (2) in the Trojans’ 3-2 victory winding up in the same conferover the Hawks in the Region 4A South Western Section championship game Thursday. ence and classification under regular season, in those tough we have begun to gel as a team for our team.”

C-fed girls clip Eagles to earn trip to state tourney

By Laura Fein Richmond Times-Dispatch The Lee-Davis girls’ volleyball team fell to Princess Anne of Virginia Beach in the 5A South Region final at Meadowbrook High School Thursday night.

Despite losing 26-24, 2624, 25-10, the Confederates advanced to the state tournament next week for a chance to redeem themselves.

“This week was physically and emotionally exhausting,” Lee-Davis coach Sharon Gaston said.

It didn’t look that way as Lee-Davis put up a battle against Princess Anne in the first set.

Kendyll Brown was the one to beat as the hard-hitting senior scored the first two points for Lee-Davis. She also had backto-back kills to tie the score at 24 before Princess Anne scored the next two points to take the first set.

The second set was much of the same. Brown scored the first point for Lee-Davis (23-

5) before the Cavaliers took a 15-9 lead. The Confederates bounced back to tie the score at 17 before dropping the second set also.

Lee-Davis could not keep pace with Princess Anne (29-2) in the third set as the Cavaliers captured the region championship.

“I definitely think since we have not had that many losses this season, I think that this will be a fire that will help us accelerate and just want to win more,” Brown said.

Gaston knows the competition will get only tougher from here, though.

“We’re gonna regroup, get our legs back under us with some rest this weekend,” Gaston said. “We just have to keep playing aggressively and stay confident in each other and I know these kids will do it. They are a great group of kids.”

Atlee boys clinch berth in states

Whether it really mattered or not, the team that served first in each game of the 5A South region boys’ volleyball tournament quarterfinal between Atlee and Clover Hill won that particular game.

Atlee, the runner-up from Conference 11, won the toss to serve first in the fifth game of Tuesday night’s drama-filled match at Mills Godwin and won the last three points to edge Clover Hill 16-14 in the deciding set.

“It just happened to play out that way. We took advantage of some of their weaknesses,” said Atlee coach Nick Robinson.

“When we passed well with our outsides front left and their setter front right, that was a huge advantage for us because we could just swing over the top of him. The games we were able to take advantage of that were the games we won.

On the defensive side, the Yellow Jackets limited the Tigers to 250 total yards. Nash Nance completed 16 of 44 pass attempts for 171 yards and one touchdown with two interceptions.

Randolph-Macon senior strong safety Danny Hunt leaped and tangled with a HampdenSydney receiver in the Tiger end zone before coming to his feet with the ball in hand.

“That’s a dream, to go out like that,” Hunt said. “Just fortunate to be in the right spot at the right time.”

Hunt commended his compatriots.

“We’ve got so many special guys on this team. Everyone’s played their part in getting us here and it’s just been an amazing ride,” Hunt said.

“Everything obviously hasn’t gone our way this year. It was a little bit of a disappointing year but to go out like this just shows the true character of the guys on that field. They don’t back down from anything. …

Clover Hill won the fourth with five service errors.

A major part of the Raiders’ game plan was to serve short and limit the swings of Patrick

“We wanted to take them a little bit out of system with our serving, and I think we did that,” Robinson said.

Senior Jeremy Eye and juniors Eric Rohr and Owen Ward paced the Raiders’ attack.

Rohr had 21 kills. Eye contributed 16 kills and four blocks, and Ward did a little bit of everything with 49 assists, seven kills and two blocks.

could have resigned herself to living a debilitated life. Instead, in a classic taking lemons and making lemonade fashion, she dedicated her life to advocacy and mentorship for other arthritis sufferers. She started a support group in Winchester when she was 21, and after moving to Richmond in 2004, quickly became a mainstay at the Virginia Chapter of the Arthritis Foundation. There, she served as an ambassador for the foundation, traveling to Washington to lobby members of Congress to support

arthritis-related legislation.

She also launched a local support group called Arthritis Introspective. In 2009, she was nominated and became one of Style Weekly’s Top 40 Under 40 in Richmond. In 2010, with the help and support of her husband, daughter and friends, she trained for and completed her first 5K run. To others who face similar challenges, her advice is simple: “You can choose to let it get you down, or you can see the obstacles as hurdles you have to take in stride.” In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Erica’s memory to: The Arthritis Foundation, Attention: Marry

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Now is not the time to keep your feelings under wraps, Taurus. If you have an opinion, share it. Fortunately there are plenty of people willing to lend you an ear.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, be genuine and speak from the heart this week. Your compassion for other people’s feelings will help a dear friend who will be grateful and appreciative of your kindness.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, make some changes to your fitness routine this week so you don’t find yourself in a fitness funk. Switch the yoga mat for some cardio and vice versa.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Being hot then cold is sometimes the Gemini way. Shifting feelings and being mercurial is just how you’re made, and those who call you friend will have to adapt.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Do not judge a book by its cover, Virgo. That person you have been checking out is entirely different from what you first imagined. It’s time to delve deeper.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, if you are feeling a bit bored by your relationship, take the initiative to stir things up a bit. Go to a concert or plan a short jaunt to a tropical locale.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Someone you know may have gotten in over his or her head and can probably use your help right now, Capricorn. Help this person come up with some solutions to the problem.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, shake up your routine and you may be surprised by how much you enjoy the changes. In fact, you just may look at everything from an entirely new perspective.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, though you cannot afford that especially pricey treat you’ve had your eyes on, you can afford something a little more modest.
