Fire chief: ‘spectacular experience’ By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com “A spectacular experience” is how Jethro Piland describes his leadership role as chief of Hanover Fire-EMS. He rose to the department’s top position two years ago. Although he brought the knowledge and strengths to serve, he readily admits that he has “learned a ton of life lessons.”
There have been great successes, as well as difficult and stressful challenges. Guiding a multi-site operation that focuses on life safety and rescue, Piland said they have three noteworthy areas of success during his tenure as chief. He said there has been an “overall reorganization and set-up to sort of better define our system, our people and the services that we deliver to the citizens.” Community partnerships are valuable
YMCA eyes growth and a future at Atlee Station

By Jodi Deal jdeal@mechlocal.com Lynn Chaffin had a long history with the YMCA – he attended Camp Thunderbird as a child and learned to swim at a YMCA pool. He was even baptized in a swimming pool at the Shady Grove YMCA because his church at the time didn’t have its own baptistry. By 2014, Chaffin didn’t see his home YMCA branch at Atlee Station as much more than a place to work out – that is, until it was announced that
the Atlee Station YMCA was set to close. Before he knew it, Chaffin had agreed to serve as the chairman of the Atlee Station YMCA’s first board of directors. He made the decision after seeing how warmly new Atlee Station executive director Andrew Dyson greeted the branch’s members at a community meeting and hearing what YMCA leaders had to say. “He showed up at the meeting with a warm smile, shaking
to their work, the chief added. “There’s no way we could do what we do without the partnerships.” In addition to accomplishing the goals they set for themselves, they are able to achieve successful day-to-day operations because of the interactions with citizens, business owners, hospital systems and regional partnerships with other FireEMS departments. “The business that we

Erin E. Adams, shown at left in the foreground, a third grade teacher at Laurel Meadow Elementary School, got a surprise visit from, Michael Patrick, general manager of Patrick Auto Group, and, at right, Jamelle Wilson, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools, last Wednesday. The ruse of looking at playground equipment lured Adams outside. Patrick and school officials dropped off a new car for her to drive during her reign as 2015 Teacher of the Year. This is the seventh year that Patrick Auto Group has honored the top teacher with a new vehicle for a year with all expenses paid.

indy Green, agricultural educator at Lee-Davis High School, is one of a select group of agriculture teachers nationwide who received the 2014 Teachers Turn the Key professional development scholarship. As a scholarship recipient, Green attended the 2014 National Association of Agricultural Educators annual convention in Nashville, Tenn., Nov. 18-22. The Teachers Turn the Key scholarship brings together agricultural educators with four or fewer years of experience and immerses them in three days of professional development that addresses issues specific to the early years of teaching agriculture. Participants also have the opportunity to become involved in NAAE leadership and network with other NAAE convention attendees. TTTK participants come away from the experience with a long-lasting peer cohort and tools that will help them have successful careers as agricultural educators. Green has been the agriculture teacher at Lee-Davis since 2013, having taught at two other schools before coming to Lee-Davis. She works alongside one other agriculture teacher in her program, and specializes in horticulture. Her students maintain the turf around school grounds and sport fields, giving them hands-on opportunities to learn about soil analysis, seed selection, and preparing sport fields for events. Since she arrived at Lee-Davis, Green has increased participation in FFA and super-
vised agricultural experience projects. SAEs allow students to apply the skills they have learned in the classroom through an internship, entrepreneurship project, or research project. She integrates FFA and SAE into classroom instruction and provides extra credit for completion of these activities. This incentive helps students gain useful experience through projects, competitions and community service, and in turn, better prepares them for future career success. “Ms. Green serves as the FFA advisor and greenhouse coordinator this year and has worked to effectively implement a program of work for FFA and to reinvigorate the program overall,” said Kimberly Williams, assistant principal at Lee-Davis High School. “She is dedicated to her work and is willing to put forth the time and effort needed to ensure her programs and her students succeed.” Each of the TTTK scholarship recipients also was recognized at a general session during the NAAE convention. RAM Trucks sponsors the TTTK program as a special project of the National FFA Foundation. NAAE is the professional organization in the United States for agricultural educators. It provides its nearly 8,000 members with professional networking and development opportunities, professional liability coverage, and extensive awards and recognition programs. The mission of NAAE is “professionals providing agricultural education for the global community through visionary leadership, advocacy and service.” The NAAE headquarters are in Lexington, Kentucky.

County’s progress takes center stage By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com For the first time in The Mechanicsville Local’s 30-year history, the weekly newspaper has a special supplement in today’s edition devoted to progress in Hanover County during 2014 and looking to 2015. With the support of community, business and govern-
ment leaders, Progress Edition 2014 has provided an opportunity for the county’s leaders to share the good news about the year that’s about to end and what goals have been set for the new year. “After months of planning and organizing, we are excited to include Progress Edition 2014 in today’s publication,” Joy Monopoli, publisher of
Richmond Suburban News, said. “This has been a team effort and we are proud of the product we present to you, our loyal and valued readers.” “We also thank the advertisers for their continued support of The Local as we strive to bring comprehensive news and sports coverage to Hanover County residents free of charge,” she added.
According to Monopoli, the progress edition will become an annual project for the staff. “Our hope is that you take advantage of the information compiled as we all celebrate what makes Hanover special. Progress is seen throughout the county and we are pleased to share the good news,” the publisher said.
twofold piece; one is administrative. We developed, designed and implemented a new planning division. We took an existing executive leader and sort of recrafted it. The planning division really focuses on emergency management and community preparedness. They provide intelligence and information and help us design emergency response guides.” Those guides, Piland explained, provide instruction in how they respond to major mass casualty incidents, a railroad emergency and targeted hazards such as the airport, college and some industrial manufacturing groups. Another facet of Piland’s reorganization involved defining a full-time public information officer. “His office is
to reach out to the media. He has been able to promote our department through some of the social media areas and develop relationships with big businesses in the community,” the chief said of Battalion Chief Jason Williams. Piland said he has leaders that focus on community partnerships and helped in coordinating with Memorial Regional Medical Center in emergency plans, a disaster drill and an Ebola exercise. That same group also reached out to CSX and Amtrak for railroad issues. The chief has been working to refocus the operations group and the leaders within the fire stations, both career and volunteer. “I want them to get out in the community and meet with the local civic leaders, the school principals and the business association leaders. Part of what we do as a fire service is ‘customer service’ from the standpoint of not a stranger coming to our business. The men and women in the field are the face of the organization. They develop the
public trust.” “We’ve enhanced our image,” Piland said, with some modifications in their uniforms. He said they wear a more formal dress shirt on a daily basis. “I think people want to see their fire service sharp. If you look professional, you are professional. When I talk about our system, it’s a high performance system.” With staffing and capabilities, Piland turns his attention to response. “We’ve had the opportunity to streamline some of our policies, procedures and guidelines. We’ve had an opportunity to work with research agencies and help define some new firefighting strategies across the United States. Hanover County is a leader in some new techniques on fighting fire. Today, with the use of synthetics and lightweight construction, fires burn hotter faster and are more dangerous than they have been in the past 20 years.” He said his department is a “trendsetter in the way we fight fires.” Operational readi-

Christmas spirit isn’t age-restricted
From the editor
Memories flood in as Christmas Day arrives My sister was always the best on Christmas Day. Without disturbing our parents, she was so agreeable when her little sister bounded out of bed to rush into the living room to see what wonderful gifts Santa Claus had left under the tree. And, how impressive was this: Santa always had our gifts separated on either side of the tree to avoid any confusion. Although, with her being four years older and our wish lists being polar opposites, there was no question as to which gift was for her or yours truly. That anticipation and excitement of Christmas Eve and Christmas morning changed with her death in 2011. I miss her every day and cherish the memories of our experiences. They seem more pronounced with family gathering through the holiday. Thanks to my brother-in-law, a tradition they established in 1986 continues with the Tacky Lights Tour. My sister delighted in spending time with her family, especially two nieces — now young women. The elder niece was the reason the tour became a Christmas staple. Memories of my father — who left us suddenly in 1992 — engulf us. He was such a big kid. Mom has shared the story so many times of the Christmas that Dad barely got the Barbie Dream House completed before their youngest child (yes, that’s me) would run to find that Santa had delivered it. Well, it was on the wish list. And then there was the Christmas edition at my hometown newspaper that nearly had a typographical error that, thankfully, was caught just before we went to press. With a nice nativity scene, I had included Luke 2:11 (King James Version): “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” Well, this writer had mistakenly submitted Davin instead of David. Coincidentally, a community named Davin is in my home county. Thank goodness for an eagle eye staffer. Having grown up in a home that attended church regularly and celebrated the birth of Jesus, there was always the knowledge of why we were exchanging gifts and joining for a feast at the dining room table. Merry Christmas! Melody Kinser

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist As we get older, it becomes harder and harder to feel that magical feeling we usually associate with the holiday season, an elusive state of mind called the Christmas spirit. During the holidays, it’s easy to accelerate to a pace that leaves no time for the smell of a freshly cut Christmas tree or that wonderful aroma that comes from a kitchen full
of Christmas cookies. The pressures of finding just that right gift, making sure all the wrapping is done, and finding just the right lights for that tree sometimes leave no time for the real celebration of the season. It’s difficult to recapture the spirit that you so clearly remember as you walked down the steps on Christmas morning to what seemed like a neverending supply of presents spread across the floor, but it’s out there wait-
ing to be rediscovered. I felt a twinge of it when we sat along the river and watched a parade of decorated boats begin our holiday season. The smell of apple cider with a strategically placed stick of ginger, the warmth of a roaring fire or the sounds of carolers singing familiar sounds of the season all combined to assist my family in forgetting the frantic schedule and enjoying a few minutes of the see SPIRIT, pg. 17

Resident: vandals take mailbox sculpture To the clown who literally ripped our mailbox and “Leaping Hare” sculpture from its post on Flannigan Mill Road in Old Church: Merry Christmas to you too! We’ve had our mailbox vandalized in the past and knocked from its post, but this time you apparently wanted the sculpture because they are nowhere to be found. By the way, the sculpture of the “Leaping Hare” is based on the artwork found at the Virginia Museum of Fine Arts. It was created by a friend of my wife’s over 30 years ago and has graced our mailbox in Richmond, Northern Virginia and now Mechanicsville. It is priceless only to us as a work of art that we felt confident could be shared with our neighbors. Apparently not. Like it or not, your action reflects badly on the whole community. Hard to believe that is has survived so many years in other locations only to be stolen in Mechanicsville. I truly don’t understand your motivation. It’s a one of a kind item. With no real intrinsic value, it can’t be sold and, if you post it for personal display, it will only be a reminder that you are a thief and have deprived others from seeing it decorated for the holidays. As a single work of art, I would suggest that it has a significant value making your vandalism equivalent of a felony – great job! We noticed your vandalism as we were pulling out of our driveway to go get a Christmas tree. Great timing. You really put a damper on the event. Now I can’t wait to replace our mailbox with an ugly typical black non-descript box good only for its utility.
Because apparently that’s only what our neighborhood deserves. Robert N. Bradshaw Jr. Mechanicsville

hands – it felt like a big group hug,� Chaffin said. As YMCA and community officials held talks in August about what would need to happen to keep the branch open, Chaffin said he felt compelled to take part in the community effort. “It didn’t feel like it was being done for us or to us,� Chaffin said. “This is hyper local. It’s by us and it’s for us.� In the months that followed the closure threat, Atlee Station YMCA members pulled off a successful fundraising campaign that collected about $25,000 to keep the branch operating, and, hopefully, expand its scope of services. Dyson pointed out that the money raised will allow the branch to continue providing financial assistance to members in need. Right now, he added, one in five Atlee Station members get financial aid toward their membership dues. “The Y is not just a ‘gym ’n’ swim,’� Dyson said. “The Y is here to strengthen the community.� In addition to providing an exercise venue, personal training, nutrition advice, sports opportunities and other programs aimed at healthy lifestyles, the Y provides services

sitting in the Y’s common area, drinking coffee and taking a deep breath. “This is a community center,� Chaffin said, pointing out that YMCA offers other programs aimed at strengthening families, like Y Guides and Y Princesses. That initiative provides structured activities aimed specifically at bonding fathers and their children. The biggest news for 2014 was the mere fact that the Atlee Station Family YMCA got a second chance at staying open. In 2015, Dyson and Chaffin agreed that leaders at the branch will work with the community to figure out what services to provide, goals to set, and opportunities to pursue. That doesn’t have to happen within the walls of the Atlee
Station facility, Dyson said, noting that the “Y’s Without Walls� program gets YMCA officials and volunteers out in the community to lead group meetings, game nights, meals, Bible study groups and even swimming classes at neighborhood or apartment complex pools. “That gets communities coming together and getting to know each other,� Dyson said, adding that the YMCA is ready and willing to partner with any group they can, including local government, churches, 4-H clubs and public health agencies to improve quality of life and health for Hanover County residents. Chaffin pointed out that the Atlee Station branch’s goals fall in line with the objectives in the YMCA of Greater Richmond’s strategic plan, which, he said, makes tackling big problems, like obesity rates, for example, seem a lot less overwhelming. “Andrew wants to engage new volunteers,� Chaffin said. “We want to ask, ‘Where can you see the Y offering an opportunity to help?’ There’s a million ways we can – which should we do?� The Atlee Station YMCA is located at 8017 Rutland Center Boulevard in Mechanicsville, and can be reached by calling 804-427-9622.

ness also emphasizes firefighter safety. When attacking a fire, he said they “want to be smart, utilize the information from the data collectors, from the scientists to ensure our folks operate in a safer manner. I realize what we do is inherently dangerous.” As chief, Piland said he has set some standards on minimum staffing and focused on “putting the appropriate resources in the system. It’s not just career personnel; it’s volunteer staffing — it’s a combination of staffing.” He has reviewed data from the past five years leading him to focus on life safety and the ability to implement a rescue; emergency medical response, “which is truly the number of ambulances in the system;” and “supporting our volunteer system, which is truly the most dynamic part of our organization. My responsibility is when they need support and they ask for help I need to be responsive.” Those are his targeted areas when he compiles a budget – “not only for this year but for the next five years.” As technology evolves, Piland said the fire service needs to continue to keep up with it and to use it to achieve goals with fire and EMS (emergency medical services). Included on his list are com-
puters on the ambulances so that patient care records can be transferred electronically to the hospitals. Thanks to the support of those serving Hanover FireEMS and the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, Piland said they have applied for some grants and upgraded defibrillators to the latest technology. He said they also had been able to use Internet features “to keep us organized, share information and really consume the data of our response times, our units available where is our major call volume, what are our geographic challenges.” Looking ahead, he envisions the opportunity for GPS (global positioning system) locators in their air packs (the breathing apparatus), which will help battlefield commanders determine the location of firefighters within a structure. He said the locators also provide important information such as how much air they have in reserve whether they’re moving or stationary or even horizontal or vertical. Enhancing capabilities and focusing on the safety of the men and women in his department who, “truly are the most important resource in the organization,” Piland said. Health and safety involve “a broad range of objectives” for the chief. He has reassigned a management position to a fulltime risk manager who looks at procedures, equipment and

stress management. Officer development offers educational opportunities for the younger leaders to advance – whether they are career or volunteers. “Developing the individual is an area of importance,” Piland said. “We’ve been able to offer some education for our volunteers in the means of fire academies and EMT (emergency medical technician) classes. We’ve been able to partner with J. Sargeant Reynolds Community College to provide educational opportunities.” Hanover Fire-EMS also has partnered with Hanover County Public Schools to provide what the chief calls a “phenomenal” program at the high schools. This year’s class has 80 students enrolled, with 20 in the fire academy, 20 in the EMT program and 40 in a new program, “Introduction to Public Safety.” The new curriculum focuses on “introducing law enforcement, fire, EMS and emergency communications to our students. This program has been extremely successful.” Piland also pointed out that it is a “huge pipeline for our volunteers.” Piland joins the fire companies in encouraging volunteerism, which, he acknowledges, has changed over the years. Hanover Fire-EMS has been able to attract younger volunteers who “might not live in our communities,” with a see FIRE, pg. 15

protective clothing “to ensure that we are protecting our most valuable asset, which is the men and women – career and volunteer folks.” The Ebola scare, Piland said, “has been one of our primary focuses – not only enhancing our equipment but drawing a greater focus on our medical screening.” He said they are focusing “on their personal protective equipment and training to make sure we know how to use and operate the equipment as it pertains to infectious disease across the board.” According to Piland, another focus of the risk manager is on cancer prevention, “which is paramount for me so that our folks can go home to their families. This focus has helped me drive some of our budget requests the past few years to include additional gear washers, additional sets of turnout gear protective clothing we use going into a fire.” With that position, he said his department has been able to “enhance our policies or our practices for post-structure fire decontamination. We’ve also had an opportunity to evaluate our fire stations to ensure that we enhance compliance and they become safer environments.” Piland wants to place an emphasis on fitness by developing a program to evaluate career and volunteer members, as well as providing them with an opportunity for physical fitness, education, nutrition and

It’s a younger generation that’s looking for a job and their leaders are recognizing that they are a temporary work force and their leaders are coming to me looking for a permanent solution.” Piland said that it is a strong system, but it’s changed. With those changes, he faces challenges in his “ability to put resources on the road. They’re
a temporary work force for the companies and they’ve reached out for help. Ultimately, me as the fire chief and the leaders of the volunteer organizations realize that we need additional staffing to meet the expectations of the community. It doesn’t matter if it’s career volunteer or combination staffing. We need trained, competent individuals.” From a resource management perspective, Piland said their system is strained. “Our response goal compliance is slipping and the data is showing that we need additional

quality of education in Hanover County would not be impacted. Mr. [David] Myers [assistant superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools] had just made the point that state funding is based on student per capita and that decreasing enrollment, expected over the next several years, would result in decreasing state contributions. We also discussed, that even though this source of revenue would be decreasing, our expenses would not. We recognized that the number of educational staff would have to be retained, as the number and types of all classes would still have to be taught even though
there would be fewer students attending. At that point in time, the conversation got a little of track and the discussion veered away from trying to figure out how to come up with the necessary funding to meet the anticipated shortfalls and onto student/ teacher ratios. It doesn’t take advanced calculus to recognize that the student/teacher ratio tends to be a self correcting problem when you are retaining full educational staffing while reducing the number of students. It was at that point in time that I made a statement similar to the one in your cor-
respondence, with the intention of getting us back on track, discussing the major budget issues rather than a student/ teacher ratio that was going to automatically be improved. We did get back on track. Hopefully this helps you understand the context and I hope we can all agree that quality education for our students will always be our number one priority.

LETTERS Continued from pg. 17
“To Kill a Mockingbird” from the public schools, the author of the book, Harper Lee, made a contribution to the Beadle Bumble Fund. Ms. Lee stated, “I hope [my contribution] will be used to enroll the Hanover County School Board in any first grade of its choice.” We will accept nominations for “awards” from this fund and will plan to announce these awards on a regular basis. I think compensation of $1 per act of “official stupidity” sounds about right. On a more serious note, we should consider use of the
Beadle Bumble Fund to provide a free copy of the “banned” books to any student who wishes to enrich his or her thinking. Please advise if you wish your name removed from this email list. Also we encourage you to forward this note should you think it of value to citizens of Hanover County. Ragan Phillips Ashland (Historical note: From Wikipedia, about James Jackson Kilpatrick: As editor of The Richmond News Leader, Kilpatrick started the Beadle Bumble fund to pay fines for victims of what he termed “despots on the bench.” He built the fund with contributions from read-
ers and later used the Beadle Bumble Fund to defend books as well as people. After a school board in suburban Richmond ordered school libraries to dispose of all copies of Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird,” because the board found the book immoral, Kilpatrick wrote, “A more moral novel scarcely could be imagined.” With money from the fund, he offered free copies to children who wrote him; by the end of the first week, he had given away 81 copies.)

the 26th Session of the Hanover Citizens Police Academy and what an enjoyable experience it was. This is a 10-week class that gives the citizens an inside look at our Sheriff’s Office from every aspect. We saw first-hand what our men and women of the Sheriff ’s Office go through on a daily basis. We were allowed to do mock traffic stops, building searches, procedures for DUI field sobriety test and many other aspects to numerous to mention. I have a son and a nephew in the law enforcement business and have always respected and admired anyone willing to protect and serve. This class just raised our appreciation for our officers in Hanover. Hanover County is 472 square miles with a population of just over 100,000 citizens. Due to the expert supervision of our Sheriff ’s Office, this area is covered by a minimum number of deputies and we still enjoy a county with a relatively low crime rate.
This program was started by our former sheriff, V. Stuart Cook, and seeing its benefits has been continued by our sheriff, Col. David R. Hines. We are blessed to have men of this caliber to lead our Sheriffs Office and we are blessed to have wonderful men and women serve this department under their leadership. So many of the officers and deputies of the department gave of their time and talent to teach this class and we are truly grateful to each of those involved. Also, a special thank you needs to go to Lisa Hancock for handling all the organization for these classes. The next time you think we have too many deputies or that all they do is write tickets for trivial offenses, join the next class and you will change your tune. Thanksgiving just passed but I ask you to make every day a day of thanks for our outstanding sheriff and his entire department. God bless them. The next time you see a

Tourney host L-DHS bests other wrestlers By Monica Hunsaker for The Mechanicsville Local Some of Virginia’s best wrestlers battled at the Lee-Davis Holiday Classic tournament last weekend. The tournament hosts – the Confederates – dominated all other competitors. Lee-Davis secured the team win with 188 points. Two other teams, Hanover and Patrick Henry, were good ambassadors for the county’s wrestling programs. Defending Virginia High School League Group 4A state champion Hanover finished fifth overall with 127.5 points. A big division win boosted the Patriot’s team score to 102.5 points for another top-10 finish. With three individual championships, it was a good night to be a Confederate. “We’ve made gains this weekend,” Lee-Davis coach Craig Spruill said. “[But] everything we do, we try to make better.” Confederate Hayden Keener, last year’s Conference 11 most outstanding wrestler, topped the 120-pound division. He crushed Courtland opponent Douglas Palacios 10-0. Keener dominated him immediately, dropping Palacios and ending the first round up 70. Keener again bested Palacios in the final round. “I thought he was going to give me a harder match,” Keener said.
Billy Bowers for The Local
Members of Lee-Davis High School’s wrestling team showed their prowess in last weekend’s Holiday Classic tournament. The Confederates showed their strengths in several divisions, including the 126-pound.
Confederate Nick Timok defeated Courtland’s Jawaun Powell 2-0 to win the 126pound title for Lee-Davis. Lee-Davis heavyweight William Hazelwood won the 285-pound championship. The 2013 Conference 11 champion defeated Monacan’s Jonathan Gutierrez. Gutierrez escaped a takedown, but Hazelwood swiftly regained control and earned a
4-1 win. Lee-Davis’ Andrew Anthony lost to St. Christopher’s Taylor Rudnick in the 160-pound championship match. Anthony couldn’t fully secure an early opportunity for a pin and Rudnick went on to dominate Anthony for a 17-7 win. Hanover’s Carson Allen defeated Manchester captain, Van Dempster, winning for the Hawks the 138-pound cham-
pionship. Allen’s teammate Tanner Lacey defeated J.R. Tucker’s Hunter Davis to claim the 220pound championship. Another Hawk, Tyler Flora, last year’s region 4A South runner-up, lost to Brooke Point’s Cody Deutel in the 132-pound championship match. Flora led the first round, but lost control when Deutel flipped him to take a dominant position in
the second round. The third round ended in a 6-3 victory for Deutel. Patrick Henry captain Jeremy Roup beat St. Christopher’sJacob Hale to win the 145-pound championship match for the Patriots’ only championship in the tournament. Roup started slow, with Hale leading 2-0. Roup regained control, flipping Hale to tie the round, 2-2. Securing a rear
The Mechanicsville Local
takedown, he nearly pinned Hale, ending round two up, 5-2. Halenearly pinned Roup in the final round to tighten the score, but Roup held on 5-4. Roup said he wants to finish better than his seventh-place finish in last years’s Group 5A state tournament. “My goal this year is to be number one,” Roup said. “I tell myself that I’m better than most of these kids, so I go out there and wrestle like I’m better.” Brooke Point’s Brian Garlington defeated Patrick Henry’s Scott Toms 5-0 in the 182-pound championship match. Courtland’s D.J. Ahalt topped the 106-pound division with a final-round victory over Brooke Point’s Joshua Montague. Despite a third-round head injury, Brooke Point’s Joseph Knight took the 113-pound championship with a victory over Courtland’s Cliff Conway. Manchester’s Brandon Henderson defeated Deep Run’s Daniil Budanov 9-3 to win the 170-pound title. Highland Springs won the 195-pound division with Tyson Tiller’s 8-6 tapout win over J.R. Tucker’s Tariq Banks. Team results: 1. Lee-Davis 188.00; 2. Brooke Point 182.00; 3. JR Tucker 149.00; 4. Midlothian 140.50; 5. Hanover 127.50; 6. Manchester 113.00; 7. Courtland 111.50; 8. Patrick Henry 102.50; 9. Highland Springs 94.50; 10. St. Christophers 82.50; 11. Bandit 66.00; 12. Jamestown 64.00; 13. Monacan 51.00; 14. Deep Run 46.00; 15. Henrico 36.00; 16. Maury 30.50; 17.

Springers pounce early on C-feds, coast to win By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Lee-Davis held its own for the first five minutes of its game with Highland Springs, one of the best boys’ basketball teams in the area and ranked No. 4 in the Times-Dispatch prep poll. The Springers, though, had other plans. After Lee-Davis scored a basket to close to within one point, 9-8, of Highland Springs with 2:28 left in the first quarter, the Springers went on a 24-1 over the next five minutes to give them firm control of the game and allow them to coast to an 87-46 victory over the Confederates. The exceptionally deep Springers, with a backup squad that could hold its own against quite a few first-string teams in the area, had too many weapons for Lee-Davis (3-5) to counter. “That’s a tough team, from the one down to the five. And the depth is good, too – it doesn’t get any easier,” said LeeDavis head coach Rob Rice. “With the speed of the game, you’ve got to have a lot of good
the Springers had a hard time getting started. “We came out a little lackadaisical, but I think that LeeDavis came out with a little more intensity than we did, that made the difference in the first four minutes. Of course, we got a little spurt and scored some easy baskets. That’s always a good remedy for a lot of ills.” Once the Springers found a little extra pep in their steps, they made life difficult for the Confederates’ offense, intercepting passes almost at will and converting them into quick points. “We talked about it before the game. ‘You’ve got to ballfake, you’ve got to ball-fake, you’ve got to be strong with it and you’ve got to meet passes,’ ” Rice said. “I don’t think we did those … things to start the game. Dave Lawrence/The Local “We tried to throw over the Lee-Davis’ Irving Jones (24) drives around Highland Springs’ guard Donald Little in the Springers’ top.

Lancaster said the Springers’ experience played a key role in their defensive dominance. “We anticipate well. We’re a pretty experienced team as well as being athletic,” Lancaster said. “All these kids that start for us were on the team last year. Even three of the kids off the bench were on the varsity. [Defense] comes naturally when you have a lot of experience.” Rice said that experience and skill on the bench makes Highland Springs extra tough. “I’d put [their second string] up against a lot of teams. Their second string is pretty tough,” Rice said. “The reason why some of these teams are ranked so high – the Glen Allens and the Highland Springs and the Deep Runs and the Henricos – is because they don’t hit you with just one wave. They hit you with a second wave.” Despite the defensive wall that the Springers erected, two Confederates scored in double figures: Nick Reisenweaver with 15 points, and Keidrell Gray with 10.
R-MC wakes up to call from Averett By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Two days before Averett came to visit Randolph-Macon for a men’s basketball game at Crenshaw Gymnasium Thursday, the Yellow Jackets had been in one of the toughest scraps in their careers – outslugging Cabrini 105-92 in a rapid, up-and-down court contest. No one could blame them for being a bit tired afterward. But the fatigue nearly caught up with them against Averett, as Randolph-Macon needed an overtime session to escape with a 74-69 victory.
24
“We knew coming in [Averett was] very different,” said Yellow Jackets’ head coach Nathan Davis. “Unlike Cabrini, who doesn’t give you a ton of resistance defensively, they do. They’re physical. They contest everything. They body you up. I don’t think we did a particularly good job of simulating it yesterday [in practice] so we were ready for it or handling it, especially in the first half of the game.” Davis said the RandolphMacon coaching staff gave the Yellow Jackets a pretty good workout the day between the Cabrini and Averett game, and

it might not have been the best idea. “The game on Tuesday … was end to end. It was up and down,” Davis said. “Looking back at the stats, we had the ball 104 times, which is an NBA type of possession game. … I probably should have backed off more yesterday than I did to let them get their legs and their wind back.” The fatigue hurt the Randolph-Macon offense the most from beyond the arc. The Yellow Jackets (7-2) converted only 26 percent of their 3-point attempts, and for stretches late in the second half, most of
their normally prolific shooters seemed reluctant to try. Several times the Cougars led by as much as five points in regulation. Lamont Moore helped the Yellow Jackets stay within striking distance with several key offensive rebounds and put-backs. “You can make the case that he made the key plays of the game in that stretch where he got, I think … five offensive rebounds in 10 or 12 possessions there and gave us a chance – because we weren’t shooting well. It gave us extra shots.” see WAKES, pg. 26

Hawks swimmers earn sweep By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com It has been a long time coming, but the Hanover High School swim team did something it had not done in three years – sweep an opponent in the boys’, girls’ and overall scores. But it was not easy. The Hawks hosted Patrick Henry Thursday night at Randolph-Macon College, but the Patriots themselves were no slouches, staying within striking range of overtaking Hanover until the final few events – in the case of the boys’ competition, until the final event of the evening, the 400-yard freestyle relay. The final scores were Hanover 93-77 in the girls’ competition, 91-79 in the boys’ and 184-156 overall. “Boys, girls, combined – we
finally won the whole shebang,” said Hanover head coach George Massey. “That’s the first time for the girls in three years.” On Dec. 4, the Hawks boys’ won their first match in two years with a 123-46 victory over Colonial Heights. It was also Hanover’s first combined score victory in that span. But the Hawks needed a break to defeat the Patrick Henry boys. “It came down to the last relay. It was winner take all,” Massey said. “It was a great meet.” In the case of the boys, Patrick Henry – led by Scotty Mizelle, Dalton Nash and Ted Schubert – won most of the events, either as individuals or as part of relay teams. The trio were part of the winning 200 medley and 200 freestyle relay teams. Mizelle won the 100and 200-yard freestyle, Nash
won the 50 freestyle and 100 breaststroke, and Schubert won the 100 butterfly and 100 backstroke. But Hanover still held a numerical advantage. “On the boys, really, what it come down to for us was the depth,” Massey said. “[Patrick Henry] won a lot of individual events with their top boys. We were coming in second and third, second and third and fourth, staying close, inching out. The 500 free was our big event where we went first, second and fourth.” Only two points separated the girls’ teams after eight events. With three events to go, though, the Hawks’ girls caught a big break. “We went one, two, three in the girls’ 100-meter backstroke,” Massey said. “That basically secured the girls’ side.” Patrick Henry head coach

In overtime, the Yellow Jackets, who had spent much of the game playing catch-up, briefly fell behind again on Carter Jones’ free throw with 3:13 left to go up 67-66. But Randolph-Macon responded a minute later with a Michael Taylor 3-pointer to go up 69-67. After another minute, Marcus Badger hit two free throws to put the Yellow Jackets
up 71-67 and force the Cougars to have to get at least two field goals in the final minute to catch up. Instead, Randolph-Macon picked up three more points on a one free throw by Joe Hassell and a pair of free throws by Connor Sullivan. All Averett managed was a layup by Trevor West for the game’s final score with a second left. “The effort that we gave, I’ll take that any day of the week,” said Averett head coach David Doino. “We talk about playing
hard and trying to a team that plays harder than the guys that we’re playing. I thought we did that.” Hassell led RandolphMacon with a double-double 12 points and 10 rebounds. Akeem Holmes finished with 11 points and nine rebounds, and Badger had five assists. Averett (5-4) had four players in double figures: West with a game-high 17 points, Bradley Robinson with 16, and Charles Bryant and Cody Stephens with 10 apiece.

Running series challenges kids to get healthy Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com The Healthy Kids Running Series recently attracted 115 preschool through middle school children who accepted the challenge of participating in a five-week-long running series. Children and families came out Sunday afternoons to Pole Green Park to run and cheer for one another. This was the second series offered in Hanover and was part of a national series that took place at over 45 locations across the country. Healthy Kids Running Series is a five week nonprofit youth running program created by Jeff Long, founder and president of HKRS. The program is designed to combat childhood obesity while providing children with a positive, educational and fun introduction to the world of running. Every child received a medal and trophies were awarded to boys and girls who had the highest total points in each age group. Series organizer Mark Sargent, a Wellness Coach at Health Link Family

The Fall 2014 Health Kids Running Series participants are shown with organizer Mark Sargent.
Chiropractic in Mechanicsville, said he was “very pleased with the turnout and enthusiasm for this event.” “Our series increased participation over 80 percent. Watching the children work so hard every week to complete their distances is amazing. We had many children return from the first series and added
a significant amount of firsttime runners,” he said. “The running series ended with a parent’s one-mile race. We believe an active lifestyle should be a family affair,” he added. Event sponsors were: Health Link Family Chiropractic, Laura D’s Hair and Day Spa, Seal This, Mechanicsville
Animal Hospital, Martins and New Balance. Special thanks were extended to Laura D’s and Health Link Family Chiropractic for providing giveaways and healthy snacks every week. Sargent said the family and friends that volunteered each week were integral in making the series successful.
The Healthy Kids Running Series will continue to run every spring and fall at Pole Green Park. The next series starts April 12, 2015, and registration opens on Jan. 1. Event information can be seen at www. healthykidsrunningseries.org. Organizers have a goal of growing so that more than 180
take part in the spring series. Registration is $35 for all 5 races or $10/race. Registration for all five races includes a race bag and t-shirt. For more information, including sponsorship opportunities and volunteering, contact Sargent at mark@healthlinkva.com.
