Commonwealth’s Attorney Ramon E. “Trip” Chalkley III will be seeking another term as Hanover’s top prosecutor.

First elected in 2007, Chalkley will seek the Republican nomination in his reelection bid.

“When I ran in 2007, I said Hanover needed ‘a Commonwealth’s Attorney who will forge a strong working relationship with law enforcement, who is active in our community, and who is willing to put in the time, commitment, and effort to do the job right for the people of Hanover,’” Chalkley said. “My record demonstrates I CHALKLEY honored that commitment, and I am ready to continue serving the people of Hanover.

“I am especially proud of the strong relationship our office fostered and maintains with

Sheriff David R. Hines formally announced his candidacy for re-election on Tuesday, Jan. 20.

“Thirty years of law enforcement service to Hanover County and sheriff since 2010 uniquely qualifies me to serve you.

I am dedicated to the safety and security of our community while maintaining the shared values of commitment, professionalism, compassion, honor and accountability across your Sheriff ’s Office,” said Sheriff Hines.

“Over the last four years, our crime rate HINES in Hanover County has been reduced by 9.6 percent. While we have made significant efforts to curb crime, we continue to make great strides in solving crime. This is evident

They made short work of it as Wayne Hazzard, South Anna District, was elected by unanimous vote to assume the leadership role for the next 12 months.

Beaverdam District representative Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley was tapped as vice chair, also by unanimous vote.

Hazzard graciously accepted his colleagues’ endorsement and switched seats with serving chairman Sean Davis, Henry District.

Hanover musician inspired by life in Central Virginia

By Korey Hughes for The Mechanicsville Local

H

ailing from Hanover, musician Chris Adams said that his songs are inspired by his life in Central Virginia.

“I’ve been influenced by my home, place and surroundings, just like anybody would be, I suppose,” Adams said. “It’s a very rural area – lots of farm land and woods – and I think it affects the way you look at things because you kind of see the rhythm of life and maybe have a little deeper appreciation for the seasons and the slower pace.”

And, area residents will be able to hear Adams sing live when he performs at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 22, at Café Caturra at 13830 Village Place Drive in Midlothian.

But, if you ask the artist himself, who often creates his sonic concoctions in his home studio, songwriting and production can’t be forced. Instead, both actions require inspiration.

“You know, I’ve never been the type who just sits down and says’ I’m going to write a song today,’ ” Adams said. “I need that spark to get me going.

“It’s funny because, a lot of the time, I can tell when there is one coming on. It kind of feels like something bubbling up to the surface.”

Though Adams said he can feel a moment of inspiration about to strike, there’s no predicting what hour of the day when the moment might occur.

“I’ve had several songs that have woken me out of my sleep around 3 a.m. or so, just rolling around in my head,” he said. “Those are usually some of my better ideas, but you have to run for the handheld recorder and capture them before they escape because, if you do go back to sleep, you’ll never get it back.”

Adams’ first album, “Under This Silent Sky,” was released in 2003.

The follow-up, “Bend in the Road,” was released in 2013, but Adams said he spent the 10 years between the albums raising a family and trying to make ends meet.

At the same time, he created demos that he shopped to publishers, and 11 of those eventually made their way onto “Bend in the Road.”

According to Adams, the album is inspired by life with topics ranging from rais-

ing a family, losing a lover and learning to find and give forgiveness.

“They’re things that I think most people have experienced or are going through right now,” Adams said.

He performs often at Café Caturra, and he said the atmosphere lends itself well to crowd participation.

That’s because, as Adams said, it’s a restaurant and café and not strictly a music venue.

And, in addition to singing his original compositions, he often throws in a smattering of classic tunes that everyone knows.

“A lot of the folks are there to meet friends and hang out,” Adams said. “I think that a lot of the time folks don’t even realize when they come in that music will be featured. But, most of the time, I’ll have a few folks who get see MUSICIAN, pg. 4

A photo that appeared in the Oct. 29, 2014, edition of The Mechanicsville Local had been altered by an officer of the Hanover Republican Women’s Club to include a member of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors.

The newspaper learned Tuesday, Jan. 13, of the photo being taken through the PhotoShop computer program to include Angela KellyWiecek, who represents the Chickahominy District, at the “Pearls & Politics” event at the Hanover Tavern.

Kristie Helmick Proctor, first vice president of the HRWC, admitted she was responsible for the change to the photo.

She also submitted the photo to The Local.

“No one was notified from that photo that we were submitting it. No one,” Helmick Proctor said. “We always take photos of our guests. With that being said, the lighting in the [Hanover] Tavern is very poor.”

Helmick-Proctor said

poor lighting influenced her decision to use PhotoShop to change a photo of Laura Brat, the wife of U.S. Rep. Dave Brat, R-7.

She also said she added Kelly-Wiecek, without the supervisor’s knowledge, to the photo.

Brat was in the same location in the original photo, but Helmick Proctor said she chose to use PhotoShop to place her into the photo where the lighting was better.

“The overlay of Laura almost appeared like a black shadow.

She was another PhotoShop,” she said. “Angela was sort of standing in the background.

Angela is so close I can just bring her forward.”

Attempts were made to contact Laura Brat for comment.

“The goal every time we put photos on our website or your paper is that we want to include as many women as possible from our club. If there would have been any other female, a member of ours, to bring forward, I would have done so. It’s just that Angela was the only one,” Helmick Proctor added.

She said she did not have “great photos from that evening” due to the lighting issues.

She said there was “no malicious intent or anything.”

The purpose of submitting press releases or photos, she said, is to “highlight our club and guest speakers. That was the only photo that turned out with our guest speaker.”

“I know there are accusations that Angela had something to do with it,” Helmick Proctor said. She stressed that she had not spoken to KellyWiecek until Monday night, Jan. 12. “She nor anyone else in that photo had prior knowledge of it. No malicious intent, no conspiracy.”

The disclosure of the photo being worked on in PhotoShop was revealed on a blog, varight. com. It was posted Monday, Jan. 12.

In her response to the photo issue, Kelly-Wiecek said, “I try not to pay attention to silly blog posts like this because there are real issues to be managed. We’re coming up on budget season, the General Assembly is starting.

I think what upsets me most is

that an aspersion is cast on the HRWC that works tirelessly for not only Republicans but other community organizations as well.”

The supervisor also emphasized, “I had absolutely no knowledge of the photo or the work it took to produce it.”

Lynn Hamilton, HRWC president, said, Helmick Proctor had taken “the pose of Laura that was more recognizable and just put it on top of the original. Angela was standing back a little bit.”

She defended her first vice president, saying it was an “innocent gesture on Kristie’s part.”

“Kristie was only trying to show the faces of the women who represent our organization. There was nothing malicious about it. Our first vice president’s intent was to show leadership at the Pearls & Politics meeting,” Hamilton said.

“I feel bad for Kristie because she didn’t mean anything by it. She was only trying to improve the quality of the photograph and I do feel bad for her,” the HRWC president added.

OPINION | The Local Views

Meg Menzies: a life that mattered

From the editor

Candidacies, policies mark start of election As you noticed on our front page, today starts the official announcements of candidate for the 2015 election cycle. This year, however, to be equitable in presentation, we are implementing policies that impact those who are seeking public office, as well as those who wish to offer their endorsement of a particular candidate or candidates.

Candidates announcing their intentions to appear on the ballot are welcome to submit to The Local an article with a 300-word limit for publication. We believe this makes the process fair for all involved. As a matter of fact, the candidates who have called about releasing their plans, they have been quite agreeable and stayed within the parameters of our policy.

Now, with letters to the editor, if you want to publicly announce your support for a candidate, you will have one opportunity to do so. We will not repeat that endorsement once a letter has been published stating that support. We want to provide the opportunity for everybody interested in the election process to be heard — well, read.

So, as we look to the excitement an election year generates, let’s review the basics. The General Election will be held on Nov. 3.

Candidates for any office must be qualified for and hold the office sought and must be a resident of Virginia for one year immediately preceding the election.

The filing deadline is 7 p.m. June 9 for the Nov. 3 election. Party chairs must certify candidates running on their ticket by 5 p.m. June 15. The last day to register to vote is Oct. 13 and the deadline to apply for an absentee ballot by mail is Oct. 27. The last day to apply for an absentee ballot in person is Oct. 31.

Should primaries be held for the House of Delegates or State Senate races, the filing deadline is 5 p.m. March 26. Notice of a primary race must be filed by the party chair for the election district by Feb. 24.

For detailed information on the steps required to become a candidate for elected offices in Virginia, including downloadable copies of all of the required documents, readers can visit http://elections.virginia.gov/index. php/candidatepac-info/becoming-a-candidate/.

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist Many of us consider the type of legacy we will leave behind when we depart this world, and others proceed paying no attention to how or why they will be remembered after they leave.

But it’s those who live life with no consideration for what people will think and perform their daily routines absent the burden of creating or leaving a legacy who often have the most influence on our lives. It’s their mark that is sometimes the most indelible and leaves the greatest impression on the friends and family left behind.

That’s certainly the case with Meg Menzies, an Ashland resident who

was tragically killed while jogging a year ago.

The sadness of a young mother leaving this earth much too soon and leaving behind young children and a dedicated husband to find a course in life without her first touched a community, a nation and the world.

And, as word of Megan’s death spread through the small Ashland community, the collective heart of its citizens was broken.

Menzies lived an ordinary life that touched people in an extraordinary way — and that influence did not end on the side of a highway in a terrible tragedy.

A young woman’s dedication to her family and her faith was not lost on a grief-stricken community and it was immediately obvious that Meg’s life

would not be forgotten, but celebrated.

On Saturday, scores of runners gathered on a frigid morning to honor Megan and her extraordinary life.

Megsmiles attracts runners from all walks of life, each with a singular understanding of the importance of one life on a community.

It’s a fitting tribute to a woman who asked for little, but gave much to her family and friends, a legacy that none of them will forget.

Meg’s husband Scott is an Ashland police officer, who continues to honor his wife with his running pursuits. He readily admits he often had trouble keeping up with his fleet-footed wife. see MEG, pg. 22

Work to save Cherry Grove, ‘a little slice’ of county history Cherry Grove is a country home that dates back to the mid 1800s. The home is located on Bell Creek Road (Route 642).

A new development, currently going through the final stages of the zoning process, will be built on the property.

We would like to see the home preserved, hopefully maintained at its present location as a historical site for future generations or moved to a safe haven.

If you have any ideas, interest or means to help save this valuable piece of Hanover’s history, please make your concerns known. It doesn’t matter which district you live in, Hanover’s history belongs to us all.

LETTERS Continued from pg. 6

before this new system completely destroys our nation and we become part of the New World Order.

Richard W. Firth Mechanicsville

Responding to recent letter You know something, Raymond Germeroth, I can always depend upon you when I’m bored to give me the gumption for editorial rebuttal. I thoroughly enjoy a good debate. In your latest letter to our editor at The Mechanicsville Local (dated Jan. 14, 2015) you again provided excellent fodder for

illustrating why this nation is so great.

I honor the First Amendment right of Free Speech and served to protect it — even when it gives way to meaningless rants by folks that make no sense whatsoever.

I guess Obama is at fault for everything, isn’t he? I see that the economy has done a total reverse from when Dick Cheney was at the helm (don’t fool yourself). Mitt Romney said he’d have unemployment down below 6 percent; Obama beat him to it. Paul Ryan said he’d have gas prices down below $2; Obama beat him to that as well. The stock market is twice as high as it was in 2007. Detroit is “full-steaming ahead” now; Romney would have let it die.

Are you going to blame Obama for this huge increase in leading economic indicators? When gas is high Obama gets blamed for that. When gas is low, you can hear a pin drop in the room. I do not think any U.S. administration has control on world oil prices anyway.

You have insulted our President of the United States in this letter to the editor since at least February 2010. When will you let up? I am offended at all that insults and tyranny shown by folks against our POTUS. I spent over 20 years in the uniformed services (U.S. Army) protecting the rights of idiots to make ludicrous statements that, quite frankly, the Secret Service should be paying close attention to.

So, now the Hanover County Board of Supervisors’ decisions made for education is Obama’s fault.

Oh, and incidentally, if you are going to start quoting the Bible again (one of the signs of fascism is to intertwine politics and religion) by citing Genesis, I’d suggest you read Romans Chapter 13 and Hebrews Chapter 13 verse 17. . . not that I’m intertwining.

Further, I am sure that Dr. Jamelle Wilson [superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools] knows a bit more about managing public schools than you do. Additionally, that reporter Tom Friedman (New York Times) is reporting in

an “unbiased method to present both sides while telling the truth.” That’s what reporters do. So I guess you can tell a school superintendent and a New York Times reporter how they should do their jobs.

Incidentally, did you even watch the video Roots of 9/11?

I was there on that day just above the towers before they fell. I remember all the theory as to who and what and where.

Were you there?

As to the “why” I imagine there are many people much more informed than you will ever be, still investigating the “why” for that horrible day.

I watched the video and I did not see anything that resembles “Anti-Americanism” or “Pro-Islamism.” Why would a reporter named “Friedman” support the theology of a “radical Muslim” anyway? I see a reporter doing his job. But then I consider all the facts and do not cloud my judgments and opinions with the skin pigment issues of our POTUS. When people feel as though they have no hope they rebel.

The issues causing all the sufferings are facilitated by dictators (remember Saddam Hussein and Muammar Gaddafi). This has been true of world history for centuries.

Disenfranchisement is causing many socioeconomic problems to worsen all over the planet.

We have issues with that here in places like Ferguson,

HOME VETERINARY CARE ‘The housecall veterinary service for dogs and cats’

DR. KATHRYN HURLEY

Missouri (remember that?).

When you spew things like Obama’s apologizing and fraternizing with “the others” all over the world, you prove that you do not know anything about foreign policy.

Remember that Cheney went into Iraq on a lie: There was never any weapons of mass destruction. Why don’t you ever rant about Cheney?

They (43’s administration) later said they “made a mistake.”

Of course they did — after Halliburton made so many tens of billions in profits.

What would you do if a foreign nation came into your neighborhood and bombed everyone? Cheney made billions while over 4,400 American veterans died . . . for what?

World War II was waged to rid Europe and Asia of fascism. Korea and Vietnam were conducted to rid the world of the growing menace (lies) of communism. Desert Storm was to get Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait.

OEF and IEF (Operations Enduring and Iraqi Freedom) were meant to make Halliburton their billions. I know this because 100 percent of a group of 156 “randomly selected” veteran participants of those wars (OEF and IEF) told me in a three-year study I conducted meant to find these veterans some type of support for their Post Traumatic Stress Disorder issues. The troops told me! That should tell you something.

As for the Castro Brothers, that was almost 55 years ago!

Get with the 21st Century.

Communism is a lie — it always was! Frederick Engels and Karl Marx made a small fortune selling their lies to a bunch of poor people that went out and murdered Czar Nicholas in 1917 . . . Lies!

Joe McCarthy played the American people in the early 1950s on that same lie so he could justify his existence.

He reminds me of your little

Napoleonic hero, Teddy Cruz.

Bringing Cuba into the 21st century as (maybe an ally) would mean jobs! It would mean “we won the Cuban missile crisis.” Cuba would become a 51st state; another huge island paradise in the Caribbean.

Just think of all the commerce that would come of reestablishing relations with that island nation 90 miles from Florida. An established relation with Cuba could also be a “thumbing your nose” at Czar Putin [Russian President Vladimir].

Communism has been proven to be a lie by the sheer size of capitalism in a democratically and freely elected superpower called the USA. It would show the whole world that Russia drools and the U.S. rules!

You talked about hatred the radical Muslims have for us; yes, they do. Go back to the Bible and read Genesis 16:12 (no, and again, I’m not intertwining). Then after that, go look in the mirror and ask yourself why you hate our POTUS. Hate has many faces.

Hate eats away at your heart.

Your obvious hatred of our POTUS (again, it goes back to at least February 2010) is merely another form of hatred.

Michael Jackson said it best when he spoke of “the man in the mirror.” You should go look in yours.

County and college collaborating for volunteer activities on GYSC, MADD The Hanover County Department of Community Resources and RandolphMacon College are teaming up in April to mobilize thousands of youth to shower the community with volunteer activities on Global Youth Service Day (GYSD) and Macon a Difference Day (MADD).

The goal of Hanover’s GYSD and MADD is to engage youth aged 5 to 25 in helping nonprofits and community groups to forward their missions and make our county an even better place to live. You can participate by registering

a service project that can be completed by youth.

Project proposals are due to the Department of Community Resources by Friday, Feb. 13.

GYSD takes place the weekend of April 17-19. MADD takes place from 9 a.m. to noon on April 25.

A GYSD kickoff event and service fair will be held from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. March 21 at Randolph-Macon College in Ashland. This event gives project hosts the opportunity to set up information about their project, meet prospective volunteers, and educate the commu-

nity about the great work they do every day. A table and two chairs will be provided to each organization, group or individual that registers a project.

GYSD is the largest youth service event in the world, involving millions of young people in over 100 countries.

This is Hanover’s eighth year of participation.

Application forms and more information about GYSD can be found at www. hanovercounty.gov and going to Community Resources.

Local EF High School Exchange Year students Juraj Liska of Slovakia and Nao Okaue of Japan spent the month of November collecting dog food and treat donations for Hickory Hill K-9 Rescue as part of the EF High School Exchange Year’s #EFgivethanks campaign.

The campaign encourages EF students across the country to get involved in their local host communities. The students collected 405 cans of wet dog food, 16 bags/boxes of treats and 413 pounds of dry dog food, as well as $125 in cash donations. Their efforts put them in the top 5 in the nation and earned an additional $500 donation for Hickory Hill. Juraj said, “My host mom and I have been fostering puppies for Hickory Hill since I arrived in August, and it has been so much fun. I don’t have any pets at home. I was so excited to find out we won the $500 bonus.” For more information about EF High School Exchange Year or hosting an exchange student, visit www.efexchangeyear.org or contact local International Exchange Coordinator Megan Switzer at megan.switzer@efexchangeyear.org.

“With the assistance of my staff and law enforcement, community partners, and our citizens, I will pursue increased public safety and increased sentences for felony offenses, particularly for residential burglaries and larcenies, and for drug distribution cases.

Meg Menzies proved that living a full and meaningful life is often more than enough to ensure one’s legacy.

No one knows this better than Scott and Meg’s three small children who live the loss of Meg each day.

Somehow, knowing the lives she touched and the impact she made on a community will offer them inspiration and comfort in the future.

Hopefully they will be the real recipient of the gift Meg left behind, and the legacy that continues to grow.

12th District Sen. Stosch will not seek re-election this year

By Michael Martz Richmond Times-Dispatch Sen. Walter A. Stosch, RHenrico, will not seek re-election this year, announcing instead that he will retire at the end of his term after 33 years in the General Assembly. His 12th District seat also covers parts of Hanover County.

Stosch, 78, formally announced his retirement Monday, Jan. 12, a day before the assembly convened in Richmond for a 45-day legislative session during which he will play a leading role as cochairman of the Senate Finance Committee and president pro tempore of the Senate.

“I believe in Scripture,” he said in his announcement.

“Ecclesiastes says there is a time and place for everything.”

His decision deals another blow to legislative seniority for the Richmond region, which also is losing Sen. John Watkins, R-Powhatan, to

retirement after 34 years in the legislature.

Sen. Henry L. Marsh III, D-Richmond, retired last year to take a seat on the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board after 22 years in the Senate.

Stosch and Watkins lead a moderate Republican faction that often has aligned itself between Senate Democrats and an increasingly conservative Republican caucus on contentious policy issues, such as transportation funding and increasing health coverage for uninsured Virginians. They also are two of the Senate’s negotiators for a final budget at the end of each session.

A retired accountant, Stosch said he is retiring to spend more time with his two great-grandchildren in Tennessee without the distraction and demands that come with being a senior legislator and budget leader.

He said he made the deci-

sion “a few days ago” after long talks with his wife Eleanor and other family members and

SEN. WALTER A. STOSCH

advisers about whether to run for re-election in November.

He said he is confident he would have won re-election, even if he had to have surgery on an ailing shoulder.

“I believe faithful stewardship to my constituents over the years would have resulted

in their continued support for another election,” he said.

Born in Fredericksburg, Stosch served in the House of Delegates from 1983 to 1992 when he joined the Senate, winning a seat vacated by oneterm Republican Sen. Edwina “Eddy” Dalton Phillips.

He has long been a member of the Senate’s centrist Republican leadership and has played an important role in legislation for privatizing public functions such as transportation and school construction. He has been a champion for community colleges and higher education, economic development and job programs, and the elimination of the state income tax on Social Security benefits for seniors.

Stosch has been considered vulnerable to a Republican primary challenge because of his role in advocating Marketplace Virginia, a plan for using federal money from taxes levied

under the Affordable Care Act to buy private health insurance for hundreds of thousands of uninsured Virginians.

The plan was at the center of a pitched political battle last year between conservative Republicans in both chambers and an alliance of moderate Senate Republicans, Democrats and Gov. Terry McAuliffe.

The standoff raised the possibility of the state not having a budget on July 1 — the beginning of the fiscal year — because the marketplace proposal was embedded in the spending plan.

The stalemate ended after Stosch, Watkins and Sen. Emmett W. Hanger Jr., RAugusta, agreed to withdraw the insurance proposal to address a revenue shortfall that required quick adoption of the budget so the state could tap its rainy day fund to fill part of the gap.

In his retirement announcement, Stosch

expressed dismay over the partisan polarization of Virginia and national politics. Political candidates and public servants are caught in the middle, he said. “It makes compromise and simply getting things done more difficult but even more important.”

His longtime legislative assistant, Karla Boughey, marveled at her boss’s “ability to substitute understanding and compromise for gridlock.”

Stosch is an Army veteran and the only certified public accountant in the General Assembly. He and Eleanor have two children, four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

“I want people to know how grateful I am to serve Virginia,” he said. “I want people to know here’s a guy who’s honest, he’s straightforward, always did what he thought was right, stood on principle and did his best.”

McAuliffes co-chairing STEM essay contest Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Gov. Terry McAuliffe and the Virginia Council on Women recently announced the 4th annual STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) Essay Contest for high school junior and senior girls.

The Council will award one $5,000 scholarship to a female junior or senior who will be pursuing a STEM career at an institution of higher education. Other scholarships may be awarded at the discretion of the Council.

The STEM Essay Contest was launched in 2012 with 170 young ladies from across the Commonwealth submitting essays focusing on the student’s vision for a future STEM education or career. The Council raised $10,000 and made three scholarship awards.

Last year, the Council received nearly 300 essay submissions and thanks to the generosity of sponsors, was able to award five scholarships, with the highest award winner receiving a $10,000 scholarship.

To be eligible, one must be a female who resides in Virginia, be enrolled as a junior or senior in high school and hold at least a 2.5 grade point average.

Applications and guidelines are available online at: http:// www.commonwealth.virginia. gov/about/council-on-women/.

Entries must be submitted by Feb. 25. Essays will be judged by a panel of Council members and women who hold a degree in or work in STEM fields.

Winners will be notified

by March 24. The scholarship award(s) will be presented on April 15 at a reception on Capitol Square in Richmond.

Amber Lee has 1st big day against Guilford

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com For a while in the second half Saturday, the outlook looked bleak for Randolph-Macon women’s basketball team.

The Yellow Jackets – missing the services of Sarah Parson, who was ill, and Stephanie Staples, who was injured – spent the first five minutes falling further and further behind visiting Guilford.

But Randolph-Macon’s slide stopped at a 13-point deficit with 15 minutes to go in the second half, and the Yellow Jackets fought back to take a 3-point lead before Guilford forced overtime and they ultimately won 77-73.

“I’ve really been pleased with the resolve that this group has,” said Randolph-Macon head coach Carroll LaHaye. “Not having Sarah and not having Steph were two key factors for us. …

That’s what I challenged them with at halftime – 16.7 points a game from Sarah, somebody’s got to make them.”

While forward Katie Anderson led Randolph-Macon (12-2, 5-1 Old Dominion Athletic Conference) with 19 points and 11 rebounds, former Patrick Henry standout Amber Lee played a huge role in the Yellow Jackets’ comeback, recording her first college career double-double with 10 points and 14 rebounds.

Raiders’ boys make good on getaway from L-D

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com For most of the game, it seemed that every time Atlee’s boys’ basketball team pulled ahead of visiting Lee-Davis Friday night, the Confederates found a way to fight back into contention.

Atlee would pull away, LeeDavis would close the gap. Atlee would pull away again, and Lee-Davis would again close the gap.

Eventually, though, the Confederates found themselves with one deficit too many as they fell to the Raiders 77-60 in a Conference 11 contest.

Atlee head coach Nick Reisenweaver said that fouls caught up with the Confederates.

“Both teams got in foul trouble for one thing, and that hurt them. It didn’t hurt us quite as much,” Reynolds said. “[LeeDavis’ Nick] Reisenweaver fouled out and [Irving Jones], I think, had four fouls. That’s two of their best players. … I think we have a little bit more depth. The only guy we sat out significantly was Stephen Hurd, but we have good depth at the post.”

The Raiders (8-6) built a 25-10 lead early in the second

quarter before Reynolds called a timeout to warn his team the game was far from over.

“I was worried they were going to make a comeback,” Reynolds said. “Sure enough, they did.”

Lee-Davis’ guards got hot,

getting turnovers, hitting shots and cutting Atlee’s lead to two points, 36-34, at the half.

“They’re very athletic on the perimeter. They’re a hard matchup for us,” Reynolds said.

“We’re a bit bigger and slower than them. Their guards are

quick and we didn’t contain them very well.”

At halftime, Reynolds reminded the team of the importance of good defense.

Something clicked, as the Raiders held Lee-Davis (4-11) to just six points in the third

quarter. But the Confederates rebounded in the fourth, closing the gap again before Atlee, led by Jarris Hendricks with three 3-pointers in the final eight minutes, slipped out of reach one final time.

“That’s a really tough team,”

said Lee-Davis head coach Robert Rice of Atlee. “Even though their record was 7-6, to me they’re a top four contender in our conference. … We lost to a great team tonight.”

The Raiders had a balanced offensive attack, led by Robert Jenkins with 26 points, Hendricks with 20 and Brett Ayer with 11.

“They shoot the ball really well,” Rice said. “When you have a stretch-four like Hendricks who can do things like that, it really presents some mismatches. I think that’s one thing Atlee does really well, is that they really exploit your mismatches.”

Lee-Davis was led by Irving Jones with 21 points and Keidrell Gray with 18.

Jenkins said the Raiders are improved, team-wise, this year over last year, when they tended to rely on leading scorer Brian Miller – who graduated last year – to provide most of their offense.

“All of us can shoot. All of us know how to pass. And all play defense well,” Jenkins said. “Last year, Brian was obviously our main guy. Even though he was contributing a lot, I just think that we were just so young as a team that we didn’t have the experience to play well as we could have.”

King William’s boys continue improving

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Last year, King William featured a young boys’ volleyball team that had to learn to play in a much tougher, post-realignment neighborhood called Conference 33. They put forth plenty of effort, but finished with just four wins on the season.

This year, the Cavaliers are

still young, but they have been learning, and they showed how much they learned as they bettered last year’s win tally with a 50-29 victory over visiting Charles City County Tuesday night.

King William’s Tresean Mickens scored a game-high 25 points as the Cavaliers improved to 5-7 this season.

“Ninety percent of them were freshmen [last year], and

this year they’re all sophomores – we only have two seniors,” said King William head coach Joe Harper. “So we’re still young.

Our goal this year, coming into the year, was if we could be close to .500 on the season.”

Last year Harper knew he was in a rebuilding phase. This year, he is seeing the improvement that should lead to much better things in the near future.

“So we double our wins and

get closer to the .500 mark, then next year, and the year after, we should be a force,” Harper said.

King William (5-7) jumped on Charles City County early, taking a 17-5 lead in the first quarter. But in the second quarter, the Panthers leveled out and held their own against the Dave Lawrence/The Local Cavaliers, trailing by just 10, King William’s Will Stewart (15) sails through the arms of 29-19, at the half.

For the first and third quarters, Lee-Davis’ girls basketball team kept within a respectable distance of host Atlee.

In the second and fourth quarters, however, the Raiders, ranked No. 8 in the TimesDispatch poll, dominated the court, decisively pulling away in the fourth quarter to earn a 6334 victory Friday night.

Atlee head coach Michael Rawlings said the Raiders’ attention was primarily on improving their play.

“What I wanted my team to focus on was just execution,” Rawlings said. “I wanted to focus on us and not so much on our opponent today.”

Lee-Davis head coach Alvin Puller said the Confederates’ intensity flagged in the second

and fourth quarters.

“Instead of being aggressive with the ball we got lax with it,” Puller said. “Particularly being aggressive with it and diving and dishing it back to the shooters.”

Atlee was led by Ashley Weaver with a game-high 18 points. Alyse Armentrout scored 13 for the Raiders.

“Weaver got hot and started shooting a lot of 3s, and then their [other] guards hit a couple 3s, and that was the difference in the ball game,” Puller said.

“They were making 3s and we were throwing the ball away a little bit.”

Armentrout provided a big presence inside that the muchshorter Confederates struggled to contend with. “[Armentrout] intimidates a little bit when she’s in there because she’s long and we’re just

short,” Puller said. “If you’ve got long and you’ve got short, who’s going to win the battle? Instead of shooting a nice shot, [our girls] tried to get up there quick before she blocked it.”

Rawlings said Atlee definitely has an edge under the net.

“One of our advantages right now is in the post with Alyse Armentrout, as well as Ashley Weaver and Emily Jacobs,” Rawlings said. “We’ve got a little size in the interior. But Alyse, in particular, she’s a double-double force in every game. … To have that interior force just makes a big difference against whomever we’re playing against.”

To reinforce his point, Armentrout had a game-high 14 rebounds in addition to her 13 points and three steals.

Weaver and Jamari Blackwell had five steals apiece for the Raiders.

Johnson passes 1,000-point milestone

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Steward School’s Chaise Johnson may not live in Hanover County, but the county can claim a lot of credit for his basketball success.

Johnson – whose mother, Teresa Brown, teaches at Hanover High School – attended Rural Point and Pearson’s Corner elementary schools and Oak Knoll Middle School before beginning high school at Steward.

While attending Hanover schools, he honed his basketball skills and honed them well.

The guard was honored by the Spartans at a pep rally Friday for surpassing the 1,000-point career milestone – just midway through his junior season.

“It’s a really good accomplishment,” Johnson said. “It makes me feel good knowing

that all the hard work I’ve put in with … my teammates, that it’s paying off. It’s always good to see a payoff for your hard work and it makes me want to … continue to work hard.”

Earlier this month, Lee-Davis got a glimpse of what Johnson

could do. He led the Spartans to a 78-75 double-overtime victory over the Confederates at the Douglas Freeman Holiday Bash basketball tournament.

Patrick Henry, Atlee do well at Tiger Invitational

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Atlee’s and Patrick Henry’s wrestling teams put forth strong showings at the Eighth Annual Tiger Invitational held at J.R. Tucker High School Saturday.

Sixteen wrestling teams, most from around the state and some from out-of-state, competed in the tournament.

Patrick Henry placed fifth overall with 118 points, while Atlee came in seventh with 94.

Individually, the Raiders fared better while Patriots wrestlers struggled in the tournament’s later rounds.

The Raiders’ standouts Mark Kilgore and Charlie Belvin going undefeated and taking first place in the 138- and 195pound weight classes, respectively, and Devin Karpowich finishing second in the 106pound class.

“They’re coming along. It’s a young team, and throughout the year they’ve been making progress,” said Atlee assistant coach Steven Lagow. “We still have a few things we need to work on, but they’re developing and we’re looking to make a push in the postseason.”

These victories come at a time when a number of the Atlee Raiders starters were

Johnson said he feels no additional pressure now that he’s achieved the 1,000-point milestone.

“It’s actually pressure-relieving,” Johnson said. “I feel like it’s a weight lifted off my shoulders. Now I can focus on getting wins.”

Johnson said defenses have been focusing on isolating him

unable to wrestle due to injuries, and another, Robbie Adelstein, suffered a minor injury.

“We were down a couple of starters going into this, but we hope to get them back in the next week or so,” Lagow said.

“Until then, while they heal up, the rest of the team is going to keep on working and keep the aggression up.”

Meanwhile, Patrick Henry, despite an all-around stronger showing as a team, lost steam

as a shooter.

“After I hit 1,000, I’ve seen a lot of double-teams, like as soon as I cross half-court, having a double-team run at me and just denying the ball and stuff,” Johnson said. “Thank goodness, I have good teammates who can knock down shots and can ultimately free me up.”

Johnson knew Brian Miller, the Atlee graduate who finished with 1,000 points in his senior season last year. He admires Miller now, but that wasn’t

heading into the semifinal round, with Tanner Kump’s second-place finish in the 160-pound class marking the tournament high mark for the Patriots. Other standout wrestlers for the Patriots included Brendon White, Jeremy Roup and Rebecca Forsyth.

“I’m disappointed how we did. I feel that we as a team underperformed,” said Patrick Henry head coach Robert Toney. “We’ve got about two

weeks left in the regular season improve in some areas before And hopefully we’ll be firing on and we’ve got to work hard to the conference tournaments. all cylinders by then.”

“Last night, we worked on playing the zone because we didn’t think they had the shooters that they’ve had in the past,” LaHaye said. “So we played a little zone – but we worked on a 3-2 zone last night because that’s the zone we do play when we do go to zone.

“But then the more we started thinking about stopping [Guilford’s Anais] Weatherly and stopping Brittany Drew, we thought, ‘Wow, let’s go back to the old-fashioned 2-1-2.’ So

that’s what we did. … We were able to cover their shooters and they didn’t have the offense they needed.”

Weatherly led Guilford (8-7, 2-4 ODAC) with 16 points and 14 rebounds. Kali Cuttaia and Lauren Ramsey had 13 points apiece for the Quakers, and Drew finished with 12 points.

Hannah Livermon scored 18 points, grabbed eight rebounds and had four steals for the Yellow Jackets. Khajae Hester finished with 10 points and eight assists.

them in the game,” Harper said.

“We took away those shots, reduced the number of second shots and cut off the dribbledrive to the goal.”

They could not sustain that momentum in the second half, however, as their depleted roster – two starters were out, one because of illness and the other because of injury – did not

have the legs to run with King William all four quarters.

“Some guys were playing more minutes than they’re accustomed to,” said Charles City County head coach Cullen Jenkins. “But everybody gave their all. We have a hard time scoring the basketball. We played great D, but 30 points isn’t going to beat anybody.”

Thousands run to remember Meg Menzies

By Brandon Shulleeta Richmond Times-Dispatch Thousands of people ran in frigid weather on Saturday to honor Meg Menzies, a mother of three who was killed a year ago by an intoxicated driver while running with her husband beside a road in Hanover County.

Since her death, Menzies, a 34-year-old with a contagious smile, has inspired thousands of people around the world to run in her honor.

Several runners on Saturday, including people who

never met Menzies, said they feel connected with her, partly because of her good nature and strong Christian faith.

“As tragic as this was, so much good has come from it,” Hanover resident Catherine Wood said while standing at a roadside memorial for Menzies — a street sign festooned with many pairs of running shoes.

Wood was one of more than 100 people who ran about 3 miles in Ashland on Saturday in Menzies’ honor.

Among other scheduled runs for Menzies in the local area, several hundred people ran in

the Rutland neighborhood in Mechanicsville.

On Facebook, at least 13,000 people worldwide committed to running Saturday in

sages on social media about being inspired by Menzies, with the hashtag #megsmiles.

A message written on one of the running shoes that was

honor serves as a reminder to be a good mother and wife, and a committed Christian.

Others said the movement has led to the promotion of

Runners of all types head out for Meg’s Miles Memorial Run a year after Meg Cross Menzies was struck and killed by a DUI driver. Runners wore blue for Menzies’ favorite color and also donated used shoes for the soles4souls organization.

honor of Menzies.

Menzies was fatally struck by an SUV on Jan. 13, 2014.

The driver, Michael J. Carlson, pleaded guilty last month to involuntary manslaughter.

Menzies has attracted a massive following of people who run daily in her honor.

Many post pictures and mes-

tied to the street sign states: “Meg — I never knew you ... but I run with you every day!!! #megsmiles.”

“Just to have met her is enough,” Amanda Parrish said of why she runs for Menzies, adding that Menzies represents what is good.

Some said running in Menzies’

New Highland hires Minister to Students New Highland Baptist Church at 9200 New Ashcake Road in Mechanicsville has added the Rev. Russell “Rusty” M. Lee to its staff as Minister to Students and Young Adults, Pastor to the Next Generation.

A native of Easley, South Carolina, Lee graduated from Baptist Theological Seminary at Richmond with a master of divinity degree in Christian education. He also holds a bachelor’s degree in textile science from Clemson University.

Lee’s position recently was updated to include “the next generation.” Senior Pastor Rev. Dr. Bob Lee, who is no relation

safer practices, such as runners wearing brighter clothes, being cognizant of vehicles and wearing shoes with identifying information in case of an emergency. Memorial runs have also promoted driving sober, without texting and otherwise avoiding distractions.

Among the runners in

Ashland was Menzies’ husband, Scott Menzies, a police sergeant for the Ashland Police Department, who prior to the run emphasized his wife’s strong Christian faith.

“Meg was a normal person. We were a normal family,” Scott Menzies said in a recent interview. “She kept me straight, and we went to church every Sunday and Wednesday nights. She was the spiritual leader in our house, and she was a stay-at-home mother and a wicked fast runner.”

In the Facebook group “Meg’s Miles Supporters,” which has more than 18,000 members, Robert Keith Cartwright, a friend of the Menzies family, wrote on Saturday that running for Meg Menzies is “an awesome opportunity.”

“What would Meg think if she knew people have already run for her this morning in Ireland, the Netherlands, Japan, the Czech Republic, Germany, New Zealand, Russia, England, Thailand and more?” Cartwright wrote.

“A simple, humble girl from Hanover County, Virginia, is literally touching lives around the world in such a positive way. Together, we get to keep her heart and voice alive.”

to Rusty Lee, said, “Through prayer and feedback sessions with our congregation, we concluded that the next generation of believers may be interested in learning about God in what may seem LEE like unconventional ways. With the popularity of varied social media outlets and rapidly-changing technology, Rusty’s experience fills a void in meeting the needs

and interests of students and the next generation. New Highland is excited to have Rusty on the team.”

Lee was ordained to the ministry in February 2011 by the First Baptist Church of Mauldin, South Carolina, and most recently served as director of student ministries at the Village Campus of Bon Air Baptist Church in Richmond.

New Highland will conduct an installation service for Lee on Feb. 8.
