HANOVER — Hanover County’s Commissioner of the Revenue Scott Harris has announced he will seek re-election to a fifth term in the November general election. “It’s been a privilege to serve as Commissioner for the past 15 years,” Harris said. “I look forward to serving the citizens for another term.” Since his election in 1999, he said the Commissioner’s office has increased productivity and efficiency through automation, employee training and resource management. “I have a knowledgeable staff. We have HARRIS met the challenges with an effective use of technology and resources available to us and not with an increase in staff size,” he said. Harris said he continues to improve and increase the services offered at the govern-

Arthur M. “Mac” Hall Sr., seated on the left in the front, is surrounded by family and friends who joined him Monday, April 20, in remembering April 20, 1945, when the World War II pilot bailed out of his B-17 when it was struck down in Italy by German forces.
70 years later: local man recalls bailing from B-17 By Meredith Rigsby mrigsby@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE — Donning a leather jacket with three yellow bombs painted on the right breast, Arthur M. “Mac” Hall Sr. watches as men gather in the back room of Anna’s Italian Restaurant and Pizzeria to celebrate the 92-yearold’s service and survival during World War II. A pilot in the Air Army Forces, Hall’s Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress was struck down in Italy by German forces. The three yellow bombs on his jacket represent the three bombing missions that
Hall flew during the war. The year was 1942 and Hall had decided he wanted to become an aviator in the Air Army Forces, the predecessor to the U.S. Air Force. “He ended up at the University of Minnesota, went through flight school in Arizona, next thing you know he’s in Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada,” said Arthur M. “Mac” Hall Jr. “Picked up a B-17, flew it across country, left from Florida, flew all the way up the East Coast around through Newfoundland and in through west Africa on see B-17, pg. 8

OPINION | The Local Views
A last hurrah? No, it’s not even close
From the editor
World War II veterans leave lasting impression “The Greatest Generation.” There are many reasons why that term defines and describes those who grew up during the Depression, with many going on to serve their country in World War II. Long-time NBC newsman Tom Brokaw coined the phrase and, as the old saying goes, it stuck. Last week — one encounter planned, the other purely by circumstance — news editor Meredith Rigsby and this writer had the opportunity to talk with a couple of men who are part of “The Greatest Generation.” On Monday, we received a phone call about a luncheon to observe the 70th anniversary of Mac Hall being shot down during the war. He was a B-17 bomber pilot. His story is spotlighted on our front page. The next day while waiting to see a physician, yours truly struck up a conversation with a gentleman seated nearby. His wife of 50-plus years had been called back to the exam area and he was patiently waiting. He was so gracious and kind and, to my amazement, 94 years old. He has been blessed as he certainly did not look like he was nearing the century mark. I don’t even recall how the military came into our conversation. But I won’t forget the story he told me about being stationed at Okinawa and how a buddy probably saved his life when they passed by some Japanese on the street and one reached for a pistol. His soldier in arms literally came to his defense. He talked as if the incident took place yesterday. He may move a little slower and he admitted his hearing is not what it once was, but this remarkable man left quite an impression on me. I told him about my uncle being at Pearl Harbor when it was bombed and how that country boy from the hills of West Virginia swam to shore. A grin comes across my face when I think about this man and his humble demeanor. I regret that I did not ask his name. He does make his home in Mechanicsville. I become irritated by the overuse of texting and direct messaging when the art of conversation is so special. My Tuesday was a better day for having learned about a man whose name I do not know, but whose story will not be forgotten. Melody Kinser

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist My son Jack received a Terrific Kid award Friday, April 24, at his school. He didn’t know anything about it. He also didn’t realize it was the beginning of a once-in-a-lifetime period of adventure for him. Like many other families who make the springtime trek to Disney World, we leave soon for a week of fun in Orlando, Florida. Our journey is a little different, however. Jack is visiting Disney for his Make-A-Wish trip. Make-A-Wish had its humble beginnings in 1980 when one man’s dream to help a dying child became a reality through the tenacity of others.
With the help of numerous friends and colleagues, Tommy Austin and Ron Cox made it their responsibility to fulfill the last wish of one little boy who was in the last days of a struggle with leukemia. The little boy had a simple wish: He wanted to be a law enforcement officer and “to catch bad guys.” Chris became Arizona’s first honorary Department of Public Safety (DPS) officer and the inspiration for Make-A-Wish. Since then, the program has provided thousands of families with a chance to enjoy the thrill of a lifetime. Sadly, in many cases, it is. Last year, more than 14,000 kids had their wishes granted. Since 1982, Make-A-Wish has
helped more than 226,000 children realize a dream. And now, it’s Jack’s turn. I’ve struggled with the realization of just what this trip means. It’s a terror for parents in my situation that never goes away and wakes you in fear in a sweat. In actuality, Make-A-Wish trips do not equate to a beginning of the end, and many recipients live for years after trips are completed. The folks at Make-A-Wish understand that, and remain dedicated to helping every child who deserves a chance to live carefree for a week or live their dream of a lifetime for a day. Perhaps, they say it best on see HURRAH, pg. 8

Resident: Estate Tax Repeal – Brat owes us an explanation “Economist” U.S. Rep. Dave Brat, R-7, owes us an explanation on this vote to repeal the Estate Tax, which would add $269 billion to the national debt over 10 years. Seems like you would first identify expenditures in the budget to cut instead of taking the easy out and cut taxes that will only add to the liabilities of the future. Instead of bringing new ideas to Congress he brings the same ol’ same ol’ Inside the Beltway theory of financial management. And why the Estate Tax Repeal in the first place, which only plays into the Republican elite playbook of helping the 1 percent at the expense of the rest of us? Consider these facts: 1. Only 2 out of over 1,000 estates will owe Federal Estate Tax in 2015. 2. Taxable estates generally pay less than one-sixth of their value in tax. 3. Large loopholes enable many estates to avoid taxes. 4. Only 20 small business and small farm estates nationwide owed any estate tax in 2013 according to the Tax Policy Center which begs the question who is Brat representing? 5. The largest estates consist mostly of “unrealized” capital gains that have never been taxed.
6. The United States taxes estates more lightly than comparable countries. 7. The estate tax is the most progressive part of the US tax Code. Brat has fallen for one of the biggest scams on the US population that has bought into the marketing and branding of the estate tax as the “death tax,” which surely must be something awful. Any true economist with experience in true tax policy would understand the fallacy of repeal. Repeal is easy. What’s the fix? Really, what does Brat specifically want to cut in order to pay off the tax repeal? Frankly, I’d like to know if anyone in the 7th Congressional District would benefit from this tax repeal. see LETTERS, pg. 8

But again, that’s not the point. Identify what you want to cut first and then you can work to reduce taxes. Brat promised a new vision but he’s only voted to shut down the government – adding to the national debt – voting to repeal the estate tax – again adding to the national debt – voting to repeal the Affordable Care Act – without providing an alternative to reduce health care expenses and adding to the debt - and has yet to formulate a positive vision for the future.

into Italy.” During his third mission, co-pilot Hall Sr. and the 463rd Bombardment Group took off on April 20, 1945, to target railroad marshalling yards in northern Italy. After deploying bombs in the area, Hall Sr. and his crew of eight turned the plane around and were headed back to base when they were struck. The four-engine B17 bomber, named the “Magnificent Malfunction No. 2,” was hit at 25,600 feet, knocking one engine out and catching another on fire. As the plane was descending, the aircraft’s commander, Lt. John Cunningham, attempted to turn the plane on its side to get an apprehensive crew member to jump out. This decision would take his life.

ECHANICSVILLE — Historic Garden Week took place April 18-25 in Virginia. Homeowners across the commonwealth were invited by their local garden clubs to open their homes and gardens for viewing by the public. Proceeds from the tours go to statewide beautification projects and graduate level scholarships for students of horticulture and landscape design. This year, the Ashland Garden Club asked Old Church resident Lindsay Ryland to open her home in the Old Church area on April 18, along with Immanuel Church and three other homes in the area. About this time last year, Ryland began a conversation with Marc Moran, horticulture teacher and FFA sponsor at Atlee High School, about how they might utilize the horti-

R-MC, Dominion partner on solar, battery storage site By Meredith Rigsby News Editor ASHLAND — Administrators from Randolph-Macon College and executives with Dominion Virginia Power celebrated the installation of more than 265 solar panels on the rooftop of the campus’ Copley Science Center last Wednesday. The project, part of Dominion Virginia Power’s Solar Partnership Program, is the state’s first integrated solar and battery storage site. The organizations began conceptualizing the project in 2013, and, two years later, the partnership is enabling them to determine the effects of the distribution system by testing two unique battery technologies and a roof-mounted solar structure.
Installation of the solar panels took about three months and the system has been online

about two weeks. “The biggest thing is the solar is producing less energy; less electricity and they’ll be
going through many different operating scenarios with the batteries,” Nathan Frost, new technology and renewable programs manager, said. “Some days they’ll just be taking the electricity and storing it in the batteries and then dispatching it later, or maybe using grid power. We just want to understand, it’s very much new technology and we want to understand it. What are the best scenarios to use it? Where’s it providing the most benefit?” The solar panel system is capable of achieving up to 50 kilowatts of energy or the equivalent of powering 13 homes during peak usage hours. The two battery technologies will store energy gathered during peak sunlight

Team members presented their solution to a panel of
professional applied mathematicians in the final validation phase of judging on Monday, April 27, in Manhattan, New York. The presentation by the entire team is required to win a top six prize. Final rank order of the top six teams will be confirmed during this phase of judging. The top six prize-winning teams receive scholarship see MATH, pg. 21

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local HANOVER — Last year, the Hanover County Board of Supervisors revised the county’s land use policy with two goals in mind. First, the new policy allowed landowners to request rezoning while the land in question remained in the land use program. That change allowed current property owners to more adequately market and promote their land to potential developers. But, the policy has more far-reaching aspirations seeking to fill a void in available commercial property that is site-ready for development. Large developers often seek property that is already zoned for business, thereby eliminat-

Attorney Andrew Condlin of Roth, Doner and Jackson represented the Baldwin Family Partnership in a request to rezone 95 acres near the Northlake business Park from agricultural to light industrial at last Wednesday’s meeting of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors. Condlin said the request takes advantage of the county’s revised land use program and increases the amount of available land for development in the area.

representative and attorney Andy Condlin told supervisors as he argued for approval of a request to rezone 95 acres located at the intersection of Ashcake Road and Long Road from agricultural (A-1) to light industrial (M-2) . “Chesterfield and Henrico [counties] not only create their own business parks, they are marketing them and actually getting business to relocate to their jurisdictions,” Condlin said. “As you continue to add residential growth, you don’t have anything to balance that. This is an opportunity to do just that.” The property is located next to the Ashland Heights subdivision, and some neighbors questioned the impact that zoning from agriculture

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has two wonderful pets available to a good home. Violet, 397248, is a 5-yearold female hound. She has had her first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Violet is an older hound that is very well mannered. She does not have a lot of energy but she is very friendly around people. The shelter folks think she might be a good house dog. Dean, 397476, is a 4-year-old male neutered pitbull mix. He has had his first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test negative. Dean is full of energy and playfulness. He absolutely loves to run around the play yard with his other dog friends. He gets along very well with other dogs and loves people. Dean might do best with an adopter who can let him run and play. For more information on these two great pets, as well as the many more still in need of homes at the Hanover County Pound Facility, call 804-365-6485 during the day. The hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 10 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Saturday. The facility is closed on Sunday and county holidays.

to business would have on their lifestyles. Others said the zoning process was noninclusive and felt like their voices were not heard in the process. Sandra Dalton lives on Ashland Height Road and asked how compatible a manufacturing facility would be for her neighborhood. “My main concern is not having a warehouse or something else that is noisy right next to my property,” she said.
Wanda Edwards said she was the only resident that received notification of a community meeting and the ensuing rezoning request. “This process has gone so fast, it left my head spinning,” Edwards said. “I feel like I didn’t have a voice in the whole process.” But Hanover Economic Development director Edwin Gaskin said the rezoning request is just what the county had in mind when it passed the revised land use policy last year, and represents a win/win situation for the county.
“I like to do things that make sense,” Gaskin said. “It makes intuitive sense for this to be commercially zoned.” Bordered by the Northlake Business Park, Gaskin said it’s difficult to understand why the property has remained zoned for agriculture. “This allows us to position this site and market it to folks who would invest in Hanover County,” Gaskin said. “It’s been a board priority to make sites ready for investment, and there is infrastructure all around this site.” Gaskin indicated the

Panel to address SEAC meeting Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND – A panel of educators, parents and self-advocates will address the 7 p.m. Monday, May 4, meeting of the Hanover County Special Education Advisory Committee (SEAC) at the Hanover County School Board Office at 200 Berkley St. in Ashland. Christine Frawley, program specialist from the Virginia Department of Education’s Training and Technical Assistance Center [TTAC] at Virginia Commonwealth University; Sam Hulcher, self-advocate; and Stephanie
Kim, a Hanover county parent; will discuss their experiences with, and knowledge of, inclusion of students with various disabilities in the general education environment. Topics that may be included: reading and math scores rise in classes that have students with disabilities in them. Also, students with disabilities who are included in the general education setting have far better outcomes — academically, behaviorally and professionally — than those who are segregated from the rest of the student population. SEAC meetings are open to the public and attendance is encouraged.
rezoning is a move in the right direction for Hanover County and its economic development. “I’m wholeheartedly in support of this. It helps toward goals and our broader economic development objectives and our messaging to investors,” Gaskin concluded. Condlin said the property in question is “available … in the Comprehensive Plan for commercial and industrial, and in a great location that can be marketed to specific users.” Large developers are seeking site-ready locations where zoning is already in place to allow them to begin construction almost immediately.
The applicants, Baldwin Family Partnership, do not have a developer or specific user in mind, and said the venture is speculative in nature in the application. “This will allow them to market their land,” Condlin said. “That will open the market in Hanover County and put them on par, at least a little bit, with the other jurisdictions,” Condlin said. “If we don’t rezone and have property available, we are just being reactionary.” He reminded supervisors that their stated intention when the land use revisions were passed was to allow landowners to market their land while it remained in the land
use program. “We’re meeting the county’s goals in that respect,” Condlin said. Ed Via, who represents the Ashland District on the board, moved for approval and endorsed the recent land use revisions. “This is a first for Hanover County. It’s an opportunity to give the Economic Development department the opportunity to put together a large parcel of land. It’s going to be a good development and I think it will raise everybody’s property values,” Via said. The supervisors approved the rezoning by a unanimous vote.

The book lists are comprised of titles chosen by school librarians as well as six books called “Champions Choice” titles selected by the previous year’s winning teams. The book lists are distributed to team coaches prior to summer break. Many of the participants have been reading and re-reading the selections for six to
10 months to prepare for the competitions. The Hanover Education Foundation (HEF) sponsors the event and helps by providing Hanover County middle schools with copies of each book for the teams. The HEF also sponsors Reading Olympic teams at the elementary level. The goal of the competition

The winner of the AllCounty Reading Olympians competition held on March 12 was team “Word” representing Chickahominy Middle School.

OBITUARIES Continued from pg. 26
JOHN AND CAROL PETTUS John Bernard and Carol Ray Pettus of Old Church passed away on April 10 and April 21, 2015, respectively. John and Carol are survived by their children, Maria McGraw (BJ), Stephen Lowery (Cathy)
and Jessica Pettus; and grandchildren, David, Christian and Emily McGraw. John and Carol were childhood sweethearts whose lives took different paths, only to reunite them in 1994. Their greatest accomplishment together was purchasing and remodeling their current residence, and they both enjoyed the river, where Carol was an avid kayaker
and John’s love was hunting and fishing. A celebration of their lives was held at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 25, 2015, at the Monaghan Funeral Home at 7300 Creighton Parkway in Mechanicsville.
GERALD PRUETT Gerald Kent Pruett, 90, of Mechanicsville, died peacefully on the morning of April
22, 2015. He was preceded in death by his wife, Clara; and his brothers, Harold and Robert. Kent grew up on a farm in West Virginia and always had a great love for working the land. In 1943, he answered his country’s call in the U.S. Army, serving honorably in the Pacific during the Second World War. In 1953, he married Clara Lewis of Tazewell,
and they settled in Dover, Delaware. There they raised two sons, Michael and Mark. Clara passed away in 1978 and Kent retired from International Playtex Corporation a few years later, after over 30 years of service to the company. Kent retired to Virginia to be closer to family and has lived the last 19 years with his son, Mark, daughter-in-law, Margaret, and
his grandchildren, Amelia and William, in Mechanicsville. In retirement, he returned to his love of the land, planting and tending to a vegetable garden every year. Kent is survived by his two sons, Michael Pruett and Mark Pruett; his brother, Dale Pruett; and seven grandchildren, Amelia Buchanan, William Pruett, Timothy Pruett, see OBITUARIES, pg. 35

Bad-boy Busch takes Toyota Owners 400 By JP Beauchamp For The Mechanicsville Local HENRICO — Kurt Busch began the year in the doghouse, suspended while a subject of a domestic assault investigation. But those dark clouds have now disappeared in a cloud of celebratory smoke. Busch dominated the field at a rain-delayed Toyota Owners 400 Sunday, leading for 291 laps and fighting off a late challenge by Jamie McMurray to cap his 26th Sprint Cup victory with a series of donuts in the front stretch of Richmond International Raceway. “I felt ready for anything today. I was not going to relax until I drove across the checkered flag,” Busch said. “Maybe I relaxed a little bit. I came off Turn 4 and I let all the air out of myself. I felt deflated – did you see the lap time drop on that last lap? I was like, ‘Wow! This is that feeling that I’ve been looking for.’ And it was because I had put so much effort into making sure nothing was going to get in our way today.” The sun finally came out just before the start of the raindelayed Toyota Owners 400 – the first Sunday NASCAR race at Richmond International Raceway in more than seven years – after a thorough overnight dousing. The 300-mile race was the ninth Sprint Cup event of the

He was happy for
WASHINGTON – Last year, Kevin Harvick reached the pinnacle of his profession: winning his first NASCAR Sprint Cup championship. Tuesday, he reached another peak: being honored for that achievement in the White House. “We are here to celebrate … Kevin Harvick,” said President Barack Obama in a ceremony on the South Lawn of the White House. “This was an exciting year for the 4 Car.” Obama recounted the highs and lows of Harvick’s 2014 Sprint Cup campaign – his first year as a member of the Stewart-Haas racing team, and his first year working with crew chief Rodney Childers. “As the season started, Kevin had a new team, a new crew chief to adjust to,” Obama said. “It usually takes a little time for a driver and crew chief to find their groove, but Kevin and

year – a quarter of the way through the season – and Bush was the seventh driver this season to take the checkered flag. The drivers began the race tentatively, waiting for it to warm up and take rubber to develop some track consistency.

McMurray and Kevin Harvick each briefly took the lead from Busch – the last time being Keselowski on lap 353 – but Busch would not be denied, holding off McMurray on several restarts after cautions to take the checkered flag. Busch, who started in the third position, had no doubt he had what he needed for victory. He, crew chief Tony Gibson and crew worked hard the previous
day and night figuring out what they needed to turn a fifth-place car into a winner. “Today is a great day of total team execution,” Busch said. “I mean, it starts with building a fast race car back at the shop and coming to the race track and fine-tuning it. And really a great effort from team communication because we felt like we were a fifth place car after practice, and the way that the
Hamlin gets win for hometown crowd at RIR HENRICO – The sinking sun on a cloudy horizon at Richmond International Raceway set the stage for dominating Denny Hamlin victory and Toyota’s 100th Nationwide/Xfinity Series win Friday night in the ToyotaCare 250 at Richmond International Raceway. Hamlin, in the Joe Gibbs Hisense Toyota No. 20 car, started from the pole and dominated the race on long runs putting distance between himself and any would be contenders. He was overtaken just twice – both on caution flag restarts – but each time he quickly regained the lead. “Right from the very start the car had some great speed; and that’s the key to victory,” Hamlin said. “No tricks or anything like that. You’ve got to have a fast car. They gave me something special tonight and we were able

Rodney seemed to figure each other out in a hurry. … They had instant chemistry. As Kevin can tell you, when you have a trusted partner shouting world class advice into your ear at every turn, you can’t lose.” Harvick, who appeared on the South Lawn with Childers and team owner Tony Stewart, was enjoying every minute of his time at the White House. He was especially happy to be able to share the experience with his crew. “The most exciting part for me is just seeing my team guys and seeing them take everything in and get to experience something like they have today at the Capitol and White House,”

though, Harvick said the greatest post-championship moment was when he took the Sprint Cup trophy to his high school – North High School in Bakersfield, California. “This is great, but taking the trophy back to my high school was probably the highlight of the celebration,” Harvick said. “Being able to take that trophy and set it on the gym floor in front of 950 kids at that school and showing them that, no matter how much money you have or where you grew up, you can really live your dream – I have Dave Lawrence/The Local proof of it.

Jones finished fourth. Throughout the race, Logano chased Hamlin, moving between fourth and second positions, but did not have the juice to overtake the leader. “Not too much fun from this end of it compared to last weekend (in Bristol),” Logano lamented. “We were just a second-place car. We couldn’t catch him. He was just so fast! We had nothing for him. I wasn’t fast enough, plain and simple. We didn’t have a shot.” Defending champion Kevin Harvick, biding his time, began moving up from sixth place to fourth by lap 100. But Harvick found himself falling off quickly from a hard-fought third position after a restart on lap 124 and never recovered. Hamlin ran unchallenged until coming off the third caution when Brian Scott driving the No. 2 Safeway/Reser’s Chevrolet, briefly eclipsed him for one lap before Hamlin smoothly regained the lead.

briefly seized the lead until Hamlin overtook him again. With no cautions following Hamlin’s final pit stop, no further contenders emerged to challenge him before he earned the checkered flag. Regan Smith, in the No. 7 Breyers Chevrolet, moved up from fifth at lap 226 to capture third place. “It was a good run. We had a fast car all night long,” Smith said. “It seemed like we were in the wrong lane on every restart. I think we had one restart on the bottom towards the end there, so that helped out. The last on was a good one to have it. We had a long run car, so definitely at the end, that long run helped us out.” Chase Elliott finished fifth for the third time this year. “We couldn’t stay in the center line late in the run,” Elliott said. “When you do that it creates a bad drive off, so it multiplies the problem.” J.P. Beauchamp can be reached at sports@mechlocal. com.
The group are actually members of the Burkwood Aquatic Club, which is physically based at Burkwood Swim and Racquet Club, but which is a separate, financially independent entity with its own board of directors.

County track teams experiment at Atlee meet track and field that nobody pays any attention to the scores in a Wednesday meet,” Triemplar said. “Everything is to prepare yourself for conference, region and state, and team scores have really taken a back seat to trying to get qualifying performances. We just try and get a little bit better each week, faster and more precise every time.”
By Sean Korsgaard For The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – A cold and rainy evening did little to slow down track and field athletes at Atlee High School Wednesday. The mid-week meet featured plenty of intense competition from Atlee, Deep Run, J.R. Tucker, Lee-Davis, Patrick Henry and Deep Run – and it gave the coaches a chance to test younger team members and veterans a chance to test their personal bests. “We’re a young team with a lot of young athletes eager to prove themselves,” said LeeDavis head coach Neil Mathews. “Tonight we gave a lot of them a chance to compete on a competitive level. They got to score some points and get some experience, and a few of them had a real breakthrough evening.” Atlee coach Jim Triemplar shared Mathews’ sentiment. “We’ve got a lot of young guys who are really doing special things in addition to the folks who have been around a few years,” said Triemplar. “I think we did well, and a big reason why is that we let our younger folks step up.” Freshmen and sophomore athletes won a number of events, and holding their own

in many others. The Raiders had a very strong outing on their home field. Among their underclassmen: freshmen Buddy Northington won the boys triple jump, freshmen Cameron Foreman took two victories in the boys 100- and 200-meter dashes, and sophomore Conner Moses won the boys 1600 run. In addition to Foreman, Atlee had a number of other double winners. Senior C.J. Tilton won boys discus and shot put, senior Carly Feyerabend in the pole vault and 100 hurdes, junior Zaliah Carey won the girls long jump and triple jump, and sophomore CeeCee Harris claimed firsts in the girls 100 and 200 dashes. Other Raiders’ winners include: senior Erin McDaniel

in the pole vault, senior Tre Fields in the 400 dash and junior Spencer Ruby in the 200. Lee-Davis had four individual winners: Senior Michael Doggett in the boys pole vault, junior Jarel Braxton in the boys’ long jump, junior Josh Grant in the boys 800 run and junior Alyson McTigrit in the girls shot put. Patrick Henry had three individual winners: sophomore Jean Woodrum in the girls dis-
cus, sophomore Logan Phillips in the girls 300 hurdles and senior Byron Burton on the boys 110 hurdles. Atlee’s boys swept all three relay events, while all three participating Hanover teams claimed a girls relay event: Atlee in the 1,600; Lee-Davis in the 400 and Patrick Henry in the 3,200. For both Mathews and Triemplar, testing their younger athletes is an important step in
preparation for the postseason meets. “I know every coach tends to say this, but it’s still April, it’s still early, and we’re a May/June team.” said Mathews. “April is about team building, trying new things, and as long as we keep going, we’ll continue to get better.” Triemplar said it is a sign of the changing nature of the sport. “We are in an era now with
Flurry of late goals give Hawks big lift over Eagles By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Hanover and Mills Godwin fought to a draw for the first three-quarters of their girls lacrosse match at Hanover High School Wednesday night. They went into the final 8 minutes tied at 7 points apiece. But the Hawks scored two goals
in a span of less than a minute to get all the points they needed to win with 7:37 left and added two more goals in the remaining time to finish with an 11-8 win. Michelle Knizner scored the tie-breaking goal with 8:14 left and Amber Horton added the game-winner 37 seconds later. “That was crucial,” Knizner said of the two quick goals. “It
gave us momentum going in and we were able to generate more offense.” Mills Godwin had some fight left, adding a late goal to make it 9-8 before Hanover’s Catherine Fisher scored at 7:05. But Hanover stingily kept possession of the ball in the final 7 minutes, and Knizner eluded a double-team Eagle defense to feed the ball to Brenna Everette
for the final goal of the game at 2:02. “We never gave up. The kids fought to the end,” said Mills Godwin head coach Steve Worfolk. “They just got the best of us tonight.” Knizner finished with three goals and the assist, and Fisher added two goals and five assists. Horton and Natalie Willett each had a goal and an assist.
Mills Godwin was led by Abby Bastian with three goals and Libby Smith with two goals and an assist. “It was exciting,” said Hanover head coach Bill Karn. “These are the kind of games you want to play – the ones that help you grow and get better.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

the team, “especially Kurt and Tony Gibson.” At the same time Harvick felt the frustration of not earning his fourth victory at Richmond. “I felt like we had a car that was capable of winning the race,” Harvick said. “Just ran out of time at the end.” Harvick led for two laps Sunday: 130 and 165. Busch complimented his teammate. “In this day and age and game, if you’re beating Kevin Harvick, you’re doing something special,” Busch said. Jimmie Johnson started from the back of the pack in the 36th position to finish third. McMurray, in fourth place, and Logano rounded out the top five. J.P.

Moss, Raiders end Confederates’ win streak By Arthur Utley For The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – Laura Kate Moss says she is up to the challenge of being the Atlee softball team’s everyday pitcher for the next month or so. Moss, a junior, has been part of the Raiders’ two-pitcher rotation with sophomore Peyton St. George, an All-Metro secondteam pick as a freshman, but St. George is out of action because of a bout with mononucleosis. “I’m ready. There’s definitely more pressure because me and Peyton worked so well together back and forth,” Moss said. “She’s going to keep trucking along until she gets better then we’ll be back at it together.” Moss belted a two-run home
run over the left field fence in the first inning of last Friday night’s date at top-ranked LeeDavis then made the lead stand up with the help of an airtight defense and a Kelly Warren RBI in the seventh inning. As a result, Atlee – ranked No. 6 in The Times-Dispatch Top 10 – defeated Lee-Davis 30 and knocked the Confederates (8-1) from the unbeaten ranks. The Raiders (7-2) also avoided falling to 0-3 against fellow Hanover County schools this season. Atlee’s losses have come to Hanover and Patrick Henry. “We were so focused. Defensively, we made some outstanding plays. I think it was because they were so focused. They wanted this game to show everybody that we may be down a good pitcher, but we still have
another good pitcher behind her. Laura Kate showed what her level of ability is,” said Atlee coach John Earley. “I think a lot of people probably didn’t give us a shot at beating them tonight because we have lost a few games. We’re down Peyton, and they think we’re not at that level where we were before, but I think it showed our girls and showed everybody else we’re still in the mix.” Moss’ home run off Kylie Stonebraker came with two outs and Warren on second base after a single and stolen base sandwiched between the two outs. Warren’s hit down the left field line off reliever Lauren McIntyre with two outs in the top of the seventh drove in Casey Barrett, who reached on an error, with the insurance

run. “This was a really big victory because Lee-Davis is a really good team,” Warren said. “We weren’t thinking about any games before. We were just focusing on this game. … I think this was a big boost of confidence, and it will definitely help us through the rest of the season. I think L.K. is ready to pitch as much as she needs to.” Moss gave up six hits and struck out five, but she didn’t have a three-up, three-down inning until the bottom of the seventh. She hit two batters and gave up a walk, but the Raiders’ defense made timely plays.
Right fielder Riley Satterwhite and left fielder Malorie Fodill made running catches in the outfield gaps. Barrett caught a popup in foul territory after colliding with a teammate, and third baseman Taylor Sanderford caught another popup in foul territory as she ran into the fence. “I do better with pressure put on me so I was excited,” Moss said. “I knew I had a great team behind me. Raine (Wilson) was behind the plate calling the best game of her life. She was basically my wall back there. … My defense was amazing tonight. Spot on. They couldn’t have been any better.”
Lee-Davis also produced some good defensive plays. Center fielder Heather Childress caught a deep shot over her left shoulder while on the run, and right fielder Logan Hawker caught a fly ball then threw out Annamarie Warley, who had tripled, at home for a double play. “I think they had a little more intensity than we had. They came out and put runs on the board right away,” said LeeDavis head coach Jackie Davis. “We didn’t execute when we had runners in scoring position, and we didn’t get that crucial hit when we needed to.” Lee-Davis left nine runners on base, seven in scoring position. “This is an eye-opener for us.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Eight turnovers cost the Richmond Raiders dearly as the Nashville Venom turned nearly every one into a touchdown as they dropped the visiting Raiders 69-49 Saturday. The Raiders (3-4) generated more offense than Nashville – 325 total yards to 213. Richmond quarterback Jonathan Bane completed 18
of 43 passes for 335 yards and five touchdowns: three to Ron Davis of 48, 40 and 13 yards, a 40-yard pass to Gerron Bryant and a 14 yarder to Herb Jones But Bane faced an intense pass rush all night, and under the pressure also threw six interceptions, two of which were returned for touchdowns: one for 50 yards by Kenny Veal, the other for 45 yards by Corry Stewart.Davis finished with four receptions for 120 yards, while Bryant had five catches
for 108 yards. Bane’s counterpart, Charles McCullum, completed 19 of 34 passes for 212 yards and five touchdowns: two each to Jordan Jolly and George Murray. McCullum also threw one pick that was returned 36 yards for a touchdown by Brian Smith. Jordan led all receivers with 10 catches for 139 yards.
