Amended budget hikes employee pay plan By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local
Jim Ridolphi for The Local
Kathleen Seay, Hanover County finance director, last week presented budget amendments that outlined an increase in the proposed pay raise for employees.
HANOVER — Hanover County officials are doubling down on their proposed employee raise outlined in the 2016 budget plan now being considered by the Hanover County Board of Supervisors. Responding to an increase in state funding for Standards of Quality (SOQ) raises for teachers and other additional state revenues, finance director Kathleen Seay presented an amended budget during last Wednesday’s regular board meeting. The major change recommends a 2 percent raise for all county employees who qualify, twice the
Wade decides not to seek re-election, endorses Wyatt By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE — Elton Wade, the Cold Harbor representative on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, sat patiently through a two-hour-plus annual budget presentation a few weeks ago as numerous department heads made their case for this year’s proposed $396.5 million document. When it comes to annual budget considerations, it’s not Wade’s first
rodeo — but it will be his last. “It’s time,” the 81-yearold said after the Feb. 25 hearing. “I want to take some time to rest and get my health

amount originally proposed. “The most financially significant change coming out of the General Assembly for us was partial fund-
ing of a 1.5 percent increase for our teachers,” Seay said. “Other localities have adjusted their compensation up to as much as 2 percent. With the additional news from the state, the county administrator [Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr.] and our superintendent of schools [Dr. Jamelle S. Wilson] have worked closely to determine the best way to fully utilize those funds from the state and also stay competitive with our peers … would be to present an amendment that changes our compensation increase from 1 percent effective July 1 to 2 percent effective the first of October,” she added. see BUDGET, pg. 4

back.” Wade has suffered through several medical issues in past years, and he said the combination is taking its toll on his energy level. “I tire so easily and don’t have the same stamina I did when I started 24 years ago,” he said. “I felt like I could run again, and I could have won. I made the decision about a year ago that this was going to be my last term.”

charges each year. The General Assembly granted a temporary reprieve from these charges in this year’s session. Those funds, coupled with additional sales and personal property tax revenue increased, allowed Seay to present a balanced budget. “Sales tax exceeded the budget last year by about $500,000, and we’re trending favorably this year,” Seay told the supervisors.
She said the cost associated with the amended budget is about $1 million or .3 percent of the total budget. The board will consider the amendments at its April 15 meeting when it votes on the 2016 budget. Members of the public will have an opportunity to voice their opinions on April 8 at a public hearing. The board is expected to adopt the proposed budget on April 15.
After 24 years representing the district, Wade has announced he will not seek re-election this November. He’s even gone as far as endorsing his choice to serve as his replacement. Scott Wyatt is seeking the Cold Harbor seat and said he realizes Wade’s shoes will be hard to fill. “He’s been a great supervisor for 24 years,” Wyatt said. “He’s the one of the most genuine folks I know.” Wade said he feels comfortable with Wyatt as his replacement. “I want everyone
to know that I support him to take my place. He’s got my endorsement.” To some, that may seem like a bold political move, but those who know Wade realize it’s just the way he is. “You won’t find a more honest person than Elton. I’m going to miss him,” said fellow supervisor Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley, Beaverdam District. Telling it like it is hasn’t always been the path of least resistance for the retired bus driver/school crossing guard. Controversy erupted last year when county records revealed Wade was being paid at both positions at — what some considered — abnormally high rates. “I did both of the jobs, and that’s the way Dr. [Stewart] Roberson [former superintendent of Hanover County see WADE, pg. 8

Am I smarter than a fifth-grader?
From the editor
Today’s teens face issues that we can’t imagine Teenagers should be able to enjoy fairly carefree lives, but, unfortunately, the changes in society have seemingly mandated an atmosphere that has created stress some adults may never encounter. Upon receiving an email from Oak Knoll Middle School, the reality of the world students aged 13 to 17 deal with is a far cry from what this writer knew in the 1970s. We read and hear all the stories about bullying, with an apparent emphasis on the anonymity the Internet provides, but to actually confront the notion of stressed out teens just didn’t come across as comprehensible. A survey by the American Psychological Association, according to the OKMS email, revealed that “13- to 17-year-olds are experiencing high stress levels. School is the top source of stress for teens and teens report feeling overwhelmed and having negative thoughts or changes in sleeping habits. More than one-third reported feeling tired, nervous or anxious, or experiencing irritability and anger. Many teens reported they did not know how to manage their stress.” The APA recommends the following to manage stress:. Get active (sports, skateboarding, dancing, yoga, hiking, biking, walking, basketball, etc.). Get enough sleep. Cut back on caffeine, TV and spending time on the phone or computer. Teens need about nine hours of sleep each night. Balance life between schoolwork and pleasure.Learn to schedule. Find hobbies or activities that bring joy such as music, drawing, meditation, spending time with family, etc. Find areas in which they excel and have them schedule time to do it. Focusing on their strengths is a way to balance those feelings of being overwhelmed or “not good enough”. Identify unhealthy ways to cope with stress and avoid them. Seek help if needed. A counselor, parent or friend may be able to help with new ways to manage stress. We all need help sometime!

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist Am I smarter than a fifth-grader? Well, no. At least not every Tuesday night when my kids and I review the latest version of their spelling list. Like other parents, I’m often intimidated by my children’s homework assignments. It’s a subtle fear that comes with parenthood when children ask you that question that you can’t answer. I’m not sure how that moment of realization occurs, but it’s a real end of innocence when we finally realize our parents do not know the answer to every question and do not possess solutions to every problem that could possibly arise. With two fifth-graders and a
sixth-grader in my house, I often feel inadequate when it comes to algebra problems or scientific theories. I’m also constantly astounded how much sooner my kids are exposed to learn complicated subjects than I was. And, for those of you who think the rigor in schools has declined in past years, let me offer a few examples of just how difficult the subject matter is. Back to Tuesday nights and preparing for a word study test on Wednesday for my fifth-graders. To my generational friends, word study refers to an old staple of education: the spelling test. On most weeks, I can spell most of the words my kids are studying, but, often, I’m not sure of the meaning of
some of the multi-syllable works. Don’t believe me. Let’s take a look at last week’s list and keep in mind, this is the word study for fifth-graders. In the sub category, we have subcommittee, subconscious, subdue and subjugate. It shouldn’t surprise you that I missed two of the first group, subjugate and subconscious. I was stumped again when I arrived at succinct and succumb, two words that challenged both my spelling and comprehensive skills. By the time I got to susceptible, I was really getting nervous. “It’s spelled just like it sounds, Dad,” one of my children exclaimed. I tried to hide my inadequacy as we continued to study the list, but, I see SMARTER, pg. 8

Operation Hope serves as inspiration to others A few weeks ago there was an article in the paper about the completion of the handicap accessible playground at Hanover Courthouse. This marks the final project of Operation Hope. If you go to our website, operationhopeplayground. com, you will see how our community has come together to build these special projects. We have inspired others to follow what we have accomplished. An employee at Cunningham Recreation, the distributor of the playground equipment, told me that the Virginia Beach playground is a copy of our playground at Pole Green Park. Six counties in Michigan also have followed our lead after visiting our website and seeing our accomplishments. I want to thank the Mechanicsville and Hanover Rotary Clubs for their overwhelming support over the last 10 years, both financially and in the actual construction of all three playgrounds at Poor Farm Park, Pole Green Park and Hanover Courthouse. Thanks to Tim Amos, a member of the Mechanicsville Rotary and owner of TAW Construction, who has headed up the construction of all three projects. I also want to thank Dave Nigrelli for involving the
Civitans with their significant financial grant and manpower for the Hanover Courthouse playground. Thanks to Greg Sager & his Hanover Parks & Recreation staff for being so helpful & supportive and taking part in the construction. Finally, thanks to all of our family and friends, especially to Operation Hope’s co-founder, Katie Stilwell. It may have taken 10 years to completion but we have been shown that we live in a premier, caring community. Dana Nelson Mechanicsville see LETTERS, pg. 8

Students ‘sticker’ stores, help prevent alcohol sales to minors HANOVER COUNTY — Sticker Shock was the goal that students in the four high schools in Hanover County Public Schools achieved when they recently “stickered� stores that sell alcoholic beverages. The p r o gram focuses on education and prevention, COLANGELO according to Deputy Lowell Lantz of the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office. Lt. Kerri Freis, also with the HCSO, said the program started about 12 years as a partnership with the Sheriff ’s Office, Community Services Board, Hanover Cares, Regional Drug Free Alliance and Virginia Department of Alcohol Beverage Control. This year, the Ashland Police Department
joined in the effort. Mary Ellen Colangelo, a teacher at Atlee High School who is actively involved with Sticker Shock, said that Sgt. Scott Menzies of the APD “can’t wait to do Sticker Shock again because he sees what a good lesson it is for the kids.� Deputy Steven AppouhHester decided that Super Bowl weekend is an appropriate date to conduct Sticker Shock “because that is such an alcohol-heavy weekend.� It also helps those involved because there is a set date on the calendar. Lantz calls retailers in advance of the event, which prompts an expectation. Lantz, Freis and Colangelo agree that people have to be reminded not to sell alcohol to anyone under the age of 21. “One of my students, Braxton Borum, he actually heard people talking about the stickers when he was in the grocery store,� Colangelo said. “And I do know from some of my colleagues here in Mechanicsville the whole case [where alcoholic beverages are
displayed], everything is just littered with stop sign stickers.� Sticker Shock is welcomed by store managers, who readily post the signs on the front doors of the businesses. Colangelo noted, “When we go in and we give them the option of placing it on the window of the front of the establishment, thankfully, most are gracious in taking part in this.� She said it is a “good partnership.� Lowell emphasized the fact that the program is “totally preventative. We’re not part of the age compliance at all.� As a teacher, Colangelo praises the involvement of the students. “I think to put forth such a positive experience for the students and that the students are getting the message out to the community [is significant].� She also applauded the “great partnership with the Sheriff ’s Office, Hanover Cares, CSB — and Ashland joining us this year was just wonderful.

Ruritans, Habitat partner for another successful Shuknpul
Tom Haynie/The Local
Saturday may have been Allen Barnette’s first Shuknpul, but the Charlottesville resident, photo at left, said, “I will return.” It also was Barnette’s first time eating oysters. In the photo at right, Jessie Anderson of Caroline County, left, and Eugenia Marks of Richmond, right, spent some time with Deborah Ann Pratt, the USA Oyster Shucking Champion. Tom Haynie/The Local
The 2015 Shuknpul — sponsored by the Mechanicsville Rotary Club and Hanover Habitat for Humanity — attracted some first-timers and some regulars to Hanover Courthouse Park on Saturday. Shown are, from left, Brandon Slavery of King William, Steve Horton of Mechanicsville, Callie Cuthbertson of King William, Bryan Mcgehee of King William, Christy Horton of Mechanicsville and Tiffany Warford of New Kent. Tom Haynie/The Local
Brick Haynie, photo at left, was among the many volunteers who help make the annual Shunkpul a success. At right, Noah Killmeier and Austin Turner also volunteered their services for the event.

Paul Dorn, at left, doesn’t let the smoke bother him as he roasts the oysters. Dorn is among the many “oyster experts” who make the Shuknpul such an enjoyable — and tasty — day. At right, Chester Sienko, Shuknpul chairman, and his wife Lauren stop long enough to pose for the camera.

must admit, I had no confidence that my kids would do well on the ensuing test. After all, I had missed at least four words of 20 in my initial testing, and they had missed even more. On test day, what a great surprise. One missed two words, the other didn’t have a single miscue on his test. Proud
parent? You’d better believe it ... and astounded too. The point of this exercise is not to display my obvious lack of academic prowess. To the contrary, I’m impressed by the rigor of my children’s lesson plans, and the complicated theories and facts they tackle in our local schools on a daily basis. It’s easy for those from past generations to form a skeptical opinion of today’s educational
systems. The huge amounts of money and regulation sometimes evoke a sense of melancholy in older generations who think no one could get quite the education they received in school. Truth is, the curriculum is preparing our children to meet real world demands for an evolving work force. The tough spelling words, the advanced math and critical
thinking exercises are preparing our children to compete in a worldwide market. For me, it’s back to homework and some pesky science lessons. “Dad, do you know the three parts of atom?” one child yells from a cluttered dining room table full of notebooks and study guides. I’m pretending I didn’t hear the question!
tenure, Wade has served on numerous boards and committees including Parks and Recreation and and took a turn as vice chairman when John Gordon was chairman. “I’ve been fortunate to work with some great folks since I first started. This county is fortunate to have had some great boards over the years, and I’ve served with a lot of them,” he said. Since his first election, Wade has witnessed a transformation in the county that has witnessed Hanover change from a rural community to a vibrant suburban community. “There was only 50,000 people when I first got here, and
there was only one restaurant in Mechanicsville. It’s changed a lot since then and the issues we consider on this board are different,” Wade said. As Wade sat through the recent presentation, he must have noted the finality as almost every speaker acknowledged his service and recognized him for his commitment to Hanover County. “Mr. Wade, I’ve known you since I was a child. I just want to thank you for all you’ve done for public safety, whether it’s been with the Sheriff ’s Office, Fire [EMS] or what you’ve done for education, you will be known as one of the great
statesmen of Hanover County,” Hines said before his presentation. Wade was first elected in November 1991, while running as a Democrat, and was employed by the county’s school system for more than 50 years. Wade and his late wife Jacqueline had three children but are credited with raising 23 foster kids. The John Marshall graduate isn’t sure what retirement holds in store for a man who has worked all of his life, but he’s got some ideas. “First thing I plan to do is rest.”
Cruelty to Animals Month, which should serve as a reminder to always report abuse and neglect immediately. These crimes occur in every community, and animals’ only hope is for us to speak up if we
witness or suspect that someone is mistreating them. Our own safety may depend on it as well. The link between cruelty to animals and interpersonal violence is undeniable. The FBI uses reports of
cruelty in assessing suspected and known criminals, and the American Psychiatric Association identifies cruelty to animals as one of the diagnostic criteria for conduct disorders.

He ended his career with the school system and retired after questions arose regarding the relationship, but still remembers it as a challenging event in his career. “They questioned my integrity, and people who know me know that Wade tells the truth.

Pets of the Week Photos submitted by Andrew Q. Hodnett
The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has two wonderful pets available to a good home. Claudia, 394507, is a 3-year-old female pitbull. She has had her first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Claudia is a super friendly dog with tons of energy. She loves to be around people and chase her toys in the play yard. She will do much better with a family that loves to be outside and run and play. She does not do very well confined in a cage or a crate. Collin, 389948, is a 1-year-old male hound. He has had his first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Collin is a laid-back dog. The staff at the pound doesn’t think he had too much human interaction before he arrived at the shelter – but he has come a long way. He is now much more comfortable around anyone he comes in contact with. He will need some more training and TLC (tender loving care), but Collin should be a loving and trusting dog for any family. 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/.

MECHANICSVILLE — Mechanicsville resident Dana Nelson may have multiple sclerosis, but he does not let the disease – which he was diagnosed with about two decades ago — define him or impact his role in his community. With Katie Stillwell, Nelson started the Big Playground Project for all inclusive playgrounds in three areas of Hanover County. Because he is generous with his contributions, and known for having a friendly personality, Nelson has the support of family and friends. And that group keeps growing. His wife Lee and their daughters Heather and Stephanie are his most devoted supporters. On June 6, Bike MS will raise funds that provide hope to the more than 5,600 people living with MS in this community. Monies offer education, support and advocacy through the Central & Eastern Virginia Chapter. Heather and Stephanie said, “Bike MS will take you further than you’ve ever gone before. It’s not the miles that matter; it’s the unforgettable journey. Join us for an event that’s more than a ride: It’s anticipation, camaraderie, personal accomplishment and the knowledge that you’re changing lives … making every mile that much sweeter.” Fundraising also supports promising research to stop the disease, restore function that has been lost, and to end MS forever, Nelson’s daughters added. There are one- and two-day ride options this year. The two-day ride starts on June 6 in Richmond and rides to Williamsburg, overnight in Williamsburg, then rides back to Richmond on the June 7.

Dana Nelson is surrounded by his family, from left, daughter Stephanie Nelson Russell, wife Lee and daughter Heather Nelson.
Riders can choose from both a 150- and 200-mile option (75 each day or 100 each day). On Sunday, June 7, there also are two one-day options: either 25 or 50 miles. Both of the Sunday rides start and end in Richmond, so all riders end up at the same finish line celebration. Riders must be 18 years or older.
There is a fundraising minimum to ride of $300 (although virtual riders are able to register with no minimum if they’d like to support the event but not ride that weekend). Nelson and his team of supporters welcome any donations to Team Nelson. For more information, go to http://bikevar.nationalmssociety.org.

Blue ribbons, pinwheels signal Child Abuse Prevention Month HANOVER — Why are there blue ribbons and pinwheels at the Hanover County Complex? In recognition of April as Child Abuse Prevention Month, individuals and organizations will be marking the month with public awareness efforts, the planting of pinwheel “gardens” and by distributing blue ribbons for people to wear or display. Every year thousands of children suffer abuse and or neglect by their parents, caregivers and other adults. According to data from the Virginia Department of Social Services, from July 2013 to June 2014 there were over 68,000 children reported as possible victims of abuse and/or neglect. Of that number, 4,180 children were
determined to be abused and/or neglected. Abused and neglected children are less likely to be school-ready and more likely to exhibit behavior disorders, to become teen parents, to abuse alcohol and drugs and to enter the juvenile justice system. Child abuse and neglect are often characterized as part of a cycle, because many people may act toward their children the way they were treated by their own parents. Breaking this cycle with education and resources for parents can prevent child abuse. In recognition of Child Abuse Prevention Month, the Hanover Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) Program has partnered with Hanover Youth Service Council (HYSC) to tie ribbons on trees and plant a pinwheel garden
at the Hanover County Government Complex located on Route 301. The blue ribbon is the international sign for child abuse prevention and serves as a memorial to children who have been affected by abuse or neglect as well as a reminder that we all have a duty to protect children. The pinwheel is a newer symbol for child abuse prevention and reflects childhood hope, health and happiness. Educational materials also will be available in both Hanover and Caroline County Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Courts. Hanover CASA will be accepting applications for the next volunteer training scheduled to begin the third week in April. The Hanover CASA program trains, recruits
and supervises volunteers to advocate for the best interests of abused and neglected children involved in the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court process. No special experience is required to become a CASA Volunteer – just a desire to advocate for children in our community. The Hanover CASA Program serves the Juvenile and Domestic Relations Courts in both Hanover and Caroline counties. To obtain blue ribbons or for more information about Child Abuse Prevention Month or becoming a CASA volunteer, call the Hanover CASA Program at 804-365-4296. Information submitted by Tom Harris, Hanover County public information officer.

for a future that is changing exponentially,” Richard Rossi, executive director, National Academy of Future Scientists and Technologists, said. “Focused, bright and determined students like Ian Smith are our future and he deserves all the mentoring and guidance we can give him.” The Academy offers free services and programs to students who want to be physicians or go into medical science. Some of the services and programs the Academy plans to launch in 2014 and 2015 are online social networks through which future doctors and medical scientists can communicate; opportunities for students to be guided and mentored by physicians and medical students; and communications for parents and students on college acceptance and finances, skills acquisition, internships and
career guidance. The Academy was founded on the belief that science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education plays a critical role in enabling the United States to remain the economic and technological leader of the global marketplace of the 21st century and prospective talent must be identified at the earliest possible age and help these students acquire the necessary experience and skills to take them to the doorstep of vital careers. Based in Washington, D.C., and with an office in Boston, the Academy was chartered as a nonpartisan, taxpaying institution to help address this crisis by working to identify, encourage and mentor students who wish to devote their lives to advances in society as scientists, technologists, engineers and mathematicians.

news, it’s great to put the word out about these students.” One of the goals of Sticker Shock, Lantz said, “was to encompass everybody: the Mechanicsville area, central area Sliding Hill, Route 1, Ashland and reach out to Montpelier as well encompass the entire county.” Colangelo said students talked about this initiative to stop underage drinking and pointed out that the sticker helps people realize they could spend time in jail or a fine of $2,500 for selling alcohol to a minor. “Students should get the credit for this,” Lantz said. Rather than a Saturday filled with activities teens are more inclined to put on their calendars, he said they used the day “to present this message to their peers, get the word out for prevention.” “It’s part of their responsibility to spread the word,” Colangelo said. The enthusiasm on the part
of the students is such that they’ll ask about the date to prepare for the program. To prepare for Sticker Shock, Lantz said police officers will “go in and greet the manager, explain to them why we’re there before that date arrives. We’re in your store — this is what we’re here for. We’ll go to the alcohol case, we’ll place the stickers on the packaging or cardboard boxes — not going to cover up the name brand or merchandise don’t want to cause any problems — we’ll clean up our trash.” They bring their own bags for the cleanup. As for the role of the businesses, Lantz said those involved with Sticker Shock are “very thankful that they’re letting us come into their store is to do this.” He said they receive “very good feedback from the parents and customers for being there in the store on those days.” Colangelo said the owner of College Corner in Ashland “likes that sticker to be on the corner of each of her coolers.” With the program being
sanctioned by and in conjunction with the ABC Board, Lantz said, “It is definitely a positive for the business owner to have that partnership with them as well.” This year’s Sticker Shock attracted 34 students – “the largest group ever,” Colangelo said. Four vans, provided by Hanover Cares, are driven by law enforcement officers. Lantz again noted how impressed he was that the students gave up a Saturday morning to take part in the program. The vans head out to the stores at 8:30 a.m. and Sticker Shock is underway from 9 a.m. to noon. To ensure that their children are getting picked up, families also are involved. “This is one of those events kids want to be a part of and look forward to every year,” Lantz said. “There is always a waiting list before the permission slips come out making it very clear that they want to be included,” Colangelo said. She also said there’s “buzz already about next year’s event.”

Stonebraker wins pitchers’ duel against PH By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – The Patrick Henry softball team’s trip to Lee-Davis set up what should have been one of the premier pitching duels in the area, with the Patriots fielding stalwart senior Candace Whittemore and the Confederates starting a strong junior Kylie Stonebraker. From the first inning, though, the younger pitcher, backed by an aggressive offense, came out on top. Stonebraker’s Confederates, with 10 hits among them, quickly jumped on the Patriots en route to a 5-0 victory. Lee-Davis head coach Jackie Davis said her team had done its homework. “We talked a lot about adjusting to what [Whittemore] was throwing,” Davis said. “Our kids did a nice job early on. We got a couple of leadoff triples, and they did a nice job of just seeing the ball where they were expecting it to be and driving it.” The tone was set early with Lee-Davis’ first at-bat of the game when leadoff batter Heather Childress rapped a triple. She eventually scored in what was a two-run inning – aided somewhat by three errors committed by a jittery Patrick Henry defense. The jitters were something of a surprise for Patriots’ head coach

Shelby Foltz. “I actually told them before the game twice, ‘You guys are so relaxed,’ ” Foltz said. “It’s a totally different ball game once the first pitch is thrown and you’re in action. I think having that leadoff triple obviously can shake you a little bit. “We made a couple of errors
and mental mistakes in the first inning. Again, I don’t think they were expecting to come out of the gate with a triple and have baserunners on base, because typically behind Candace, it’s not something that we’ve had before.” Ella Alvis likewise opened Lee-Davis second inning with
a triple, and the Confederates again scored two runs that inning to take a 4-0 lead. Afterward, though, the Patrick Henry defense settled down, but Lee-Davis kept finding ways to get on base, while the Patriots struggled at the plate – largely because of Stonebraker’s pitching.
“She stayed on that outside corner and [the umpire] was giving it to her,” Foltz said. “And we weren’t hitting it.” Stonebraker, who threw a perfect game last week against Douglas Freeman, said it was important to not take the oppo-

Boys soccer teams push for postseason presence By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Last year, Hanover made the deepest run of any area team into the boys soccer postseason, advancing to the Region 4A South quarterfinals, where the Hawks fell to Grafton in a 1-0 squeaker. Atlee and Lee-Davis both had strong teams that were stymied by tough Conference 11 competition in the league tournament. Patrick Henry failed to advance out of Conference 16 into the Region 5A North tournament, and King William’s season ended in a storm – literally. Storms have had their effect on all spring sports so far this year, boys soccer included, as either snow or rain have prevented practices, cause the cancellation of scrimmages, and forced the postponement of games. Hanover begins the season ranked sixth in the TimesDispatch preseason poll and Lee-Davis begins ranked eighth. They – and the other two Hanover County teams as well as King William’s team – hope to better their finishes last year, or at least in the Cavaliers’ case, have their season end after a regulation-length game. Atlee The Raiders have some growing to do, having graduated eight seniors last year. “We’re pretty young,” said head coach Steve Thompson. “We have only two seniors starting. So … we’ve got some work to do ahead of us.” So far, most of their work has been in the gym because none of their fields – either playing or practicing, have been is condition to work on. Thompson said the Raiders only managed two practices on a field before

their first game, a 2-0 loss to Douglas Freeman on March 18. Of the two starting seniors, one had plenty of practice at his job last year – goalkeeper Matthew Hyland. Hyland and his fellow senior, midfielder Brad Robertson – have a large cadre of returning juniors to carry the load. “We had an extremely young team – very, very heavy with 10th graders,” Thompson said. “Now they’ve all become 11th graders. … About eight of them have varsity experience, plus two 10th graders that were ninth graders last year with varsity experience. So we actually have a lot of experience at the varsity level. Whether we can put it all together this year or not, we’re still waiting to see.” Lee-Davis The Confederates begin their season with a new coach, a new system, and an ambitious goal, “Championship!” “The game play is to win a championship,” said new Lee-Davis head coach Bob Hummer. “Anything else is just playing games.” While the Confederates have had competitive soccer teams in the past, Hummer said they need to change their culture to become soccer champions in the talent-rich Conference 11. “It starts with a new coaching staff and new blood on the team,” said Hummer, who said the team embraced the changes. “I think that they were all pretty excited about it, because we started about three months early with our preseason conditioning. It gave them a chance to figure out where they fit in.” The Confederates’ focus is on a strong defense, anchored by keeper Cole Huber, a junior; defenders Jacob Kesler, a senior, and Carter Barnette, a junior; and defensive midfielders Jonathan Chudoba,

That does not mean they don’t have work to do. “I think physically we need to improve,” Body said. “But we have a good game – we can pass the ball, we have a good possession game.” Hanover expects forward Nick Gulas and a pair of Farnsworths to lead the team – midfielder Cole Farnsworth and keeper Adam Farnsworth, who was a first-team all-state selection last year. Do not expect the Hawks to keep to a singular style of play.

Trice, Confederates overcome Patrick Henry By Sean Korsgaard For The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – After a self-described debacle Monday, where Lee-Davis lost 0-12 against Deep Run, the Confederates returned to good form with a strong 10-2 victory over the Patrick Henry Patriots. “I don’t think I could have scripted a better comeback performance after the debacle last Monday,” said Lee-Davis head coach Kenny Lewis. “The team bounced back in 48 hours and played a very good game against what I think is a very good team.” The Confederate team that took to the field Thursday looked far more like the team that won against Hermitage and Douglas Freeman than the one that had lost to Deep Run. Pitcher Adam Trice played through all seven innings, who along with strong support from the Lee-Davis infielders, gave precious little ground to the Patriots offensively. Meanwhile, the Patriot team noted for its strong pitchers and strong hitters was uncharacteristically weak in both areas for

The whole team’s been working on playing better, playing harder, and it’s great to see it pay off.” It’s a feeling shard by Lewis. “It’s taken some work to get the team used to a pitching defense and situational hitting, but they did it,” said Lewis. “We have a good core of team leadDave Lawrence/The Local ers, we had a good practice yesLee-Davis pitcher Adam Trice handcuffed a potentially potent Patrick Henry offense in the terday and we played well today, Confederates’ 10-2 victory over the visiting Patriots Wednesday. and I’m very proud of the kids for their effort and where it will take the team from here.” Sean Korsgaard can be reached at sports@mechlocal. com
most of the game, something the Confederate batters took fast advantage of, giving LeeDavis a 4-0 lead by the end of the third inning. “We didn’t play well defensively early on, gave some runs early and it came back to cost us,” said Patrick Henry head coach Sam Hart. “Hats off to them, they played a great game out there tonight.” Patrick Henry began to hit its stride towards the middle of the game, with a home run in the fourth inning from freshman Hunter Hart giving the Patriots their first run of the game, and another run from Brandon Schools thanks to an RBI from Chesdin Harrington bringing the score to 6-2 by the start of the sixth. Any hopes of a rally by the Patriots came to an abrupt end with a ball hit by Lee-Davis catcher Kevin France sailed over the leftfield fence. The home run by France would be the first of four runs scored by the Confederates in the sixth inning to bring the score to 10-2. That home run also capped a strong game for France, who

King William CENTRAL GARAGE – The boys soccer team ended its season on a bus at Maggie Walker waiting for an intense storm to give them a chance to finish their Conference 33 tournament game against the Green Dragons.

“That one really hurt,” said King William head coach Chris Harris. “What a way to end your season, sitting on a bus.” The Cavaliers hope to be in better control of their fate this year. “We’re carrying 10 seniors and nine juniors and one freshman,” Harris said. “Our goal this year is that we grow each week and buy in on the process step by step.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

Girls soccer teams field new coaches, new players fielder Mason Courter. While Miller is the defensive captain, freshman goalkeeper Maisy Fling is rapidly growing into a leadership role.
By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – The new soccer brings a lot of changes for area soccer teams. Most of are the routine kind – that of replacing graduating seniors – but two teams, Hanover and Lee-Davis, begin with new coaches as well. Atlee made the deepest run into the postseason last year, but it ended in the Region 4A South semifinal where the 184 Raiders were eliminated by Deep Run 3-2, one game short of qualifying for the Virginia High School League Group 5A state tournament. All of the teams want to go further this time around. Atlee The Raiders, under 13thyear head coach Bruce Lovelace, definitely have the potential to go far again this year. They only lost six starters to graduation last year, but most of those were key players on defense – such as Alexis Pringle, who is now at the University of Richmond – which will force them to reorganize in back. “Alexis, being a quality player, it’s hard to replace her,” Lovelace said. But he said the Raiders are in pretty solid shape. “I think we’re ahead of where we were last year just because we have a lot of returning players and the quality of the new players,” Lovelace said. “I think this group actually is doing quite well.” The Raiders will be led by senior midfielders Molly Shields and Jamari Blackwell and junior back Jordan Denton. The keeper duties will likely be carried by sophomore Emily Cummings. As for offense, Lovelace can deploy a number of weapons. “It can be any number of players,” Lovelace said. “It’s a very talented group and a very

Atlee girls hope for return to state lacrosse tourney By Chip Knighton For The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – Any discussion of Hanover County girls lacrosse has to begin with Atlee, where a significant core of talent returns from a team that reached the state quarterfinals in 2014. The Raiders, who lost to Salem in that game, and return eight starters, including the bulk of what should be a stout defense. Seniors Lindsey Jefferson and Danielle Banton and junior Susie Glymph return from last year’s back line. But the loss of star midfielder Emily Smith and a pair of four-years in goalkeeper Savannah Dicken and defender Peyton Krevonick will be felt on defense and in transition. “We lost a lot of ground balls with Emily Smith graduating,” said co-head coach Tom Mackay. “We need a lot of the new midfielders to pick up the slack on ground balls.” The Raiders will also need Dicken’s replacement to grow up in a hurry. Sophomore Savannah Clark, who spent the last two seasons on the junior varsity, will get the call. “She’s been playing a long
time,” Mackay said. “She fills up the cage well and is not afraid of the ball at all. Girls are going to have to shoot accurately to get it by her.” What’s not as certain is if Atlee will be able to score enough to stay with defending Richmond Group champion Douglas Freeman, which beat the Raiders in last year’s title game. Seniors Sara Hatch and Jessica Sanfillipo shared the team lead last season with 44 goals apiece, and junior Haley Anna added 34. If those three returning starters can take the next step, the Raiders can think about another deep run in the state tournament. “I think the team realizes we have a lot of returning players and a lot of experiences,” Mackay said. “We saw how far we went last year, and this year we want to go a step or two further.” Hanover Another team looking at a playoff run is Hanover, which went 7-6 in 2014. Senior midfielder Michelle Knizner and junior attacker Cat Fisher lead a balanced offense that will be expected to carry a developing

group. Fisher and sophomore attacker Kaela Bickham tied for the team lead with 22 goals last year, with Knizner adding 21. Bickham, classmate Brenna Everette and freshman newcomers Natalie Willett (midfield) and Addie Michael (defense) provide energy to a fast, athletic roster. Michael and junior Jenny Schumacher will be called to
fill in the gaps on a defense that lost two starters, including standout Jada Jordan. Savannah Weatherford is the leading returnee in front of junior goalkeeper Lexi McLaughlin, who started every game as a sophomore. Senior midfielder Delaney Daniels also provides experience in the Hawks’ midfield. She and her fellow returnees will need to stay healthy for
a team without experienced depth. Lee-Davis Lee-Davis, meanwhile, is finding its legs under new coach Kayla Cooper, an assistant last year under Pam Hill. Cooper graduated from LeeDavis in 2010, but played for Hanover Lacrosse Club because the school didn’t yet have a team of its own. She played varsity
and club lacrosse at Lynchburg College before coming back to her alma mater. Cooper will lean on seven returning starters, including her younger sister, Abigail, an attacker. Classmates Amanda Loving and Kaitlyn Harrison lead the defense and midfield, respectively, and will look to provide a steadying influence on a team that was plagued by inconsistency last season. “We’ve already made great improvements compared to last season, especially passing and talking on the field,” Cooper said. “We look like a completely different team from last year.” Supporting that experienced group will be a pair of freshmen in midfielder Cierra Ashworth and Abigail Peters, a strong athlete who sees time at attack and goalkeeper. She splits time at goalkeeper with Riley Hayden, a more experienced, technically accomplished keeper. “Riley has a lot of experience, a lot of the technical aspects of goalie,” Cooper said. “Abby is still fairly new to the goalie position, but she has a lot of energy in the goal.”

Change rules in county boys lacrosse By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Change is the order of the day in Hanover County boys high school lacrosse, as three of the four county schools are operating under new coaches. LeeDavis coach Jarrott Patteson is the dean of county coaches, with all of three years as a varsity-level high school head coach under his belt. That includes the county’s
two postseason entrants from 2014, with Fielding Crawford taking over for Eric Hall at Atlee and Dave Daly replacing Ryan Rohde at Hanover. Both of those teams look to take the next step and make significant playoff pushes in 2015. Atlee Atlee stayed alive the longest last season, falling to established power Western Albemarle in the region playoffs. The key to their 2014 success was a strong
defense that allowed just 4.61 goals per game, best in Group 5A. The Raiders return the bulk of their lineup for their first season under Crawford, a Williamsburg native who spent the last few years helping build the University of Richmond’s nascent varsity program as offensive coordinator. “We’ve got a lot of talent back,” Crawford said. “There’s a couple of seniors that they lost at attack and a long-stick mid-
die senior, but the meat of the team and a lot of goal-scorers from last season are back this season.” Atlee’s best positional group is a talented midfield led by senior Booth Watson, junior Kevin Lawlor and sophomore Davis Hatch.
