L-DHS ’60s classes donate funds M E C HA N IC S V I L L E — “Thank you Mr. Dorn, on behalf of Lee-Davis High School, the staff and the students, we greatly appreciate your generosity as well as the traditions you have set forth here at Lee-Davis High School,” Charles Stevens, principal, said as he accepted a $4,536 check from Paul Dorn, representing graduates from the decade of the 1960s. The money was collected during a ’60s decade high school reunion that took place on Sept. 20, 2014, at the Moose Lodge in Mechanicsville. Alumni from graduating classes 1959 through 1969 attended and tickets for the reunion were $15 each.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
Students’ concerns are valid — it’s their future Impressed. That word best describes the concern expressed by Hanover County Public Schools students about various topics during last week’s regular meeting of the Hanover County School Board. The subjects ranged from the ongoing issue of policies pertaining to lesson plans on what some may consider controversial (apparently not the students though) to clothing options to sexual harassment. What makes this especially noteworthy to someone who has covered school board meetings since the mid-1970s is the fact that the students took to the podium and addressed those appointed to serve the best interests of the system. Without hesitation, three young women approached the school board and directed their concerns. They were prepared and, most of all, straight to the point. While some seem to dismiss the role of the students in their curriculum and campus life, they have every right to speak out about their education and influences on it. The bottom line is we’re talking about their future. Being an adult does not mean you’re always right — or that you necessarily have the best interests of those who will one day assume responsibility for the school district in forming your opinions. The fact that Hanover County has students who care to the extent that they will appear at a school board meeting is significant. Step up and be heard is the only way that change will even be considered. Kudos to those who faced the school leaders last week. Your commitment to your future certainly merits this acknowledgement.
Memorial Day 2015 Thanks to the Hanover County Parks & Recreation Department, Hanover County will once again host a Memorial Day observance at Hanover Wayside Park. The program will get underway at 10 a.m. Monday, May 25. We appreciate the efforts of all those involved in organizing and presenting the ceremony. Melody Kinser

Dog brings so much to a family By Roslyn Ryan Richmond Suburban News Saying you love dogs is like saying you love bright, sunny days in May— not everyone does, I suppose, but those who don’t will always be just a tiny bit suspect. How, after all, can you not love dogs? As I’ve said many times since we brought him home two years ago, my dog Bo would test the patience of Job. From the moment he entered our house — and promptly “marked” the living room rug — he has continued to find new and increasingly creative ways to make our home his own.
He has reserved the sofa for the sole use of himself and will only allow someone else to sit on it so long as they supply a steady stream of belly rubs. He prefers chewing expensive shoes above anything else and has decided that if he can’t jump over a fence (he is a bit on the short, stubbylegged side) he will gleefully try to dig under it. And yet … Bo is as much a member of our family as he possibly could be and brings far more to our lives than he could ever cost us in ruined furniture or carpet cleaning solvents. We are dog people, through and
through, and can’t imagine our home without one. Of course, this sentiment will be very familiar to many readers, many of whom may be reading this with a furry friend at their feet (or, as is usually the case with Bo, in their lap). We recently celebrated the 100th anniversary of Be Kind to Animals Week, an initiative started by the American Humane Association, and were particularly grateful for all of those in our area who volunteer their time to make sure that abandoned dogs — and cats, horses and all other animals — are able to find loving, nurturing homes. see DOG, pg. 8

Resident: Fowler is unfit to serve It is beyond depressing that after more than 20 years in public service, Del. Buddy Fowler’s answer to a serious social problem is to release the hounds, as evidenced by his Facebook post on the situation in Baltimore. That approach was wrong in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1963 and it’s wrong in 2015. What’s more, it has zero to do with Fowler’s representation of the 55th House District. Why he should even engage himself in that debate is boggles the mind. He should be returned to private life. Toni Radler, a capable candidate who cares more about Hanover County than incendiary Facebook posts, would be a fine replacement. Steven Johnson Mechanicsville

ASHLAND – Three Hanover County high school students brought their concerns, ranging from a lack of transparency to unwarranted changes to censorship policies to the dress code to sexual harassment, before the Hanover County School Board last week. During the May 12 regular meeting, Georgia Geen, representing Hanover Students for Freedom of Information and Learning (HSFOIL), addressed her concerns about differing statements made by Michael Gill, assistant superintendent for Hanover County Public Schools, and Dr. Jamelle Wilson, superintendent, relating to the revision of the controversial materials policies. When asked about the revision of these policies, Geen noted that Gill told The Mechanicville Local in November 2014 that “the current revision is a work in progress,” while Dr. Wilson later stated that the policies in question were not new. The policies in question were amended in January 2015. “It seems as though we ought to be granted the respect
tice in our education system and are seeking to remedy it. Not only are we concerned with the quality of our educations, but for those of the future generations of students of Hanover County.” The censorship policy changes were prompted by complaints from “a small minority of parents” that were

concerned about the showing of the “Thomas L. Friedman Reporting: Searching for the Roots of 9/11” documentary in classrooms. As a result of the parents’ complaints, teachers are now required to notify parents if they are planning to use con-

troversial materials in the classroom and offer an alternative assignment for those students whose parents do not agree with the material.
However, Geen noted that, while that the word “censorship” is not found anywhere in the HCPS policy manual, and, despite the fact that HSFOIL has acquired over 200 signatures from a range of county residents to revise the supplementary materials policies, there still exists a controversial materials list. “It seems as though the school board is willing to alter policy changes in favor of their personal ideologies but not when students take initiative to lobby for changes that will actually improve the quality of education in Hanover County,” Geen said. She also advocated, in representation of HSFOIL, for the addition of a permanent, student-held position on the school board, a practice that takes place in Fairfax, last name said. “Considering students, along with teachers, are the ones most critically affected by school board decisions, it seems entirely sensible that we are provided with a more direct route to communicate with the school board, rather, a route in which we are more likely to be listened to,” Geen said. Mya Goodman, a freshman at Atlee High School, discussed her concerns about the dress code, saying she feels the way the dress code is enforced, particularly for girls, “promotes the idea that male learning is superior to female learning because girls are taken out of class to change because their attire is deemed ‘inappropriate’.” She said over 250 people have signed a petition against the current dress code, and its enforcement prohibits students, again, specifically girls, see STUDENTS, pg. 24

Fundraiser to benefit kids with MD By Meredith Rigsby News Editor MECHANICSVILLE -- On Saturday, May 30, ERA Woody Hogg and Associates will host a fundraising event to support children with Muscular Dystrophy. A Day in May for MDA is free to the public and will take place from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 9137 Chamberlayne Road. This is one of many events the company has held in support of the Muscular Dystrophy Association. ERA Woody Hogg and Associates has a long-standing relationship with the Central and Southeastern chapter of MDA and hopes this will evolve into an annual event. The fundraiser will collect money to provide kids suffering with Muscular Dystrophy the opportunity to go to a summer camp that is specially tailored to their needs. At the camp, “The needs of each child are considered and activities are tailored to their needs. Whether that means making something wheelchair accessible, or providing assistance to do the activity, MDA camp makes that possible,” said ERA Woody Hogg and Associates office coordinator Savannah Scott. “The kids are still getting to do the same activities that they see their classmates doing, but they’re just modified to fit their specific physical needs.” The cost of the week-long camp is about $1,000 per child, and each year
ERA Woody Hogg and Associates works towards being able to sponsor at least 10 children through its fundraising efforts. The company hopes to raise at least $3,500 for the cause during this specific event. Thus far, they have managed to raise $2,000; $1,000 of which was collected during a golf event in which ERA Woody Hogg and Associates managing broker Bradley Boykin participated. The fundraiser will feature kids’ activities, including a bounce house, face painting, balloon animals, a water balloon play area with squirt guns and water balloons, a special appearance from Elsa of “Frozen” and DJ William “Spindle” Bartholomew. For parents, there will be 10 vendors at the fundraiser, including Scentsy, Jamberry, It Works, Origami Owl, Clever Container, Thirty-One, A&P Chocolates, Deans Designs, Nerium and Stella & Dot. In addition, there will be a silent auction, 50/50 raffle tickets and a cornhole tournament. Currently, 10 baskets of gifts have been donated for the silent auction. The starting bids are $20 to $30 per basket, depending on the value, and participants do not need to be present to win. The winning bidder for each basket will be announced on May 30 following the event, and will have until 4 p.m. June 1 to pick of their prize and drop off their donation, or forfeit to the next highest bidder. Donations for the silent auction will be accepted until Friday, May 22.
The 50/50 raffle tickets can be purchased up until the day of the event. The drawing will take place at 1:30 p.m., and, again, participants do not need to be present to win. Winners must pick up their prize by 4 p.m. June 1 or forfeit the prize money to charity. Tickets for the raffle are priced at $5 for one ticket, $10 for four tickets or $20 for 10 tickets. The cornhole tournament will include 16 teams with a $30 buy-in for each team. Check-in will begin at 10:15 a.m. and the first round of games will start at 10:45 a.m. The tournament will be single elimination and first through third place will receive a trophy, a certificate and a basket of gifts donated from a local company. Drinks, food, trophies for the cornhole tournament and the bounce house are all being donated by ERA Woody Hogg and Associates agents and by local companies, including A House on a Rock Home Inspections, West End Trophies and Moon Rock Inflatables, LLC. Anyone who wants to donate but will not be able to attend the fundraising event can mail or drop off a check made payable to MDA at 9137 Chamberlayne Road, Suite 100, Mechanicsville, VA 23116, Attn: Savannah Scott – MDA fundraiser, or can choose to use the www.gofundme.com/ adayinmayforMDA page to donate. If anyone donating would like tax information, because donations are tax deductible, they will need to contact Scott at 804-559-4644.

I see my dog rolling happily in the grass or dancing with glee as I come through the front door, I think about a saying I heard from my mom — another lifelong dog lover. “God loved dogs so much,” she liked to say, “he spelled his own name backwards.” Judging by all the happiness dogs bring to their owners, He must have loved us an awful lot too.

Atlee student aces exam, wins study trip to Germany By Meredith Rigsby News Editor
M
ECHANICSVILLE — After developing a passion for the German language during six years of study, Atlee High School senior Allison Greenday took the Level 4 2015 National German Exam for high school students sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of German (AATG). She said she knew there was potential for her to score high enough on the exam to qualify for the chance to take an all-expense-paid summer study trip to Germany, but thought the idea of winning the award was a long shot. However, after scoring in the 94th percentile on the national exam, Greenday moved on to the short essay portion of the competition
and then on to the interview phase. She was interviewed by a
ALLISON GREENDAY
committee comprised of high school teachers and college professors of German. Interview questions ranged from what her hobbies are to her views of German/ American relations and her knowledge of German culture.
Thanks to her German teacher at Atlee High School, Tracy Hughes, though, Greenday was more than prepared for the questions. Throughout her time in the classroom with Hughes, the teacher kept the students upto-date on current events and politics in Germany. Then, one day, Greenday got the email. Out of nearly 21,000 students that participated in the program in hopes of qualifying for the trip, Greenday was one of 44 across the U.S. selected to receive the award. The study expedition includes round-trip air transportation to Germany from New York, housing with a host family and excursions to places of cultural and historical significance. “This program gives students the chance to experience Germany first-hand by

ROBERT PARTLOW Robert
Greider
“Bob”
Partlow, of Richmond, died at the end of his life on May 9, 2015, having fulfilled most of his wish to awaken before he died. The proximate cause was a glioblastoma primary brain tumor diagnosed in November 2014. Bob was born September 12, 1938, in Rochester, New York, the second of four sons, to Margaret Ellen Greider and James Ross Partlow and both of whom were from the Tipp City, Ohio, area. Family lore has it that his father was transferred to another city shortly after his birth, resulting in twoweek old Bob traveling by train from Rochester, New York, to home in Ohio. Bob ensconced in a wicker wooden shopping basket with his mother and his 4-year old brother, Jim. This was the first of 10 moves before the family arrived in Winter Park, Florida, in 1948. He graduated from WPHS in 1956 and enlisted in the Naval Reserves in order to be eligible to take a competitive exam for an appointment to United States Naval Academy at Annapolis. He was subsequently admitted and graduated with the class of 1961. During this period that he was reacquainted with Ruth Goodrich, WPHS class of 1958 and Duke class of 1962. Never a top scholar, he aspired to enter the Naval Nuclear Power Program, which was under the direct supervision of Admiral Hyman G. Rickover. After several rejections and failures, he was finally able to commence his 23-year nuclear submarine
career. Bob enjoyed telling his grandchildren that they no doubt receive from him more “tortoise genes than hare genes.” In 1962, he and Ruth married and, in due time, daughter Pamela and son Robert were born. After service on two SSBN ballistic missile submarines, he received orders to two wonderful years at the Stanford University Graduate School of Business, where he received his MBA in 1971. With Ruth expecting, they were immediately ordered to Pearl Harbor, where Bob was to serve on the attack nuclear submarine USS Sargo SSN (583). The baby, a second son, Shaun, was born with a congenital heart condition, which doctors thought would at least partially selfcorrect and indicated it was safe for Bob to deploy on a sixmonth cruise with Sargo. The ship arrived in Subic Bay days later and received the news that Shaun was in heart failure and that Bob should return to Pearl. Shaun died before he could return. With the frantic pace of Cold War and Vietnam era submarine operations, Bob was able to sublimate the deep existential angst that had been created by Shaun’s inexplicable death. His career continued with great success. In fact, the “tortoise” was selected for promotion to Commander (O-S) two years before his “hare” friends. In 1978, after four years in command of the submarine Gato SSN 615, he was ordered ashore to command
the Emory S. Land, AS39. He now had the time to start a complete evaluation of his understanding of life. He concluded that he could not do this while on active duty. In 1984, he retired and in a year determined that he and Ruth should both enter Seabury-Western Theological Seminary. In 1989, they both received M.Div. degrees and were ordained in the Episcopal Church. Bob was rector of Messiah, Murphy, North Carolina, along with co-rector of Christ Church in Springfield, Ohio, St. Luke’s in Powhatan, Johns Memorial in Farmville and The Fork Church in Doswell. Bob was the Richmond TimesDispatch Correspondent of the Year. He was predeceased by his parents, Margaret and James Partlow, son, Shaun; and brother, Jim. Survivors include his wife, Ruth; children, Pamela Partlow Murray and her husband, William, and Robert Goodrich Partlow and his wife,
Sally Partlow, and grandchildren, Brant Murray Pruden and her husband, William, Mitchell Murray, Margaret Ellen Murray, Connor Partlow, Kathryn Partlow and Sadie Partlow; sister-in-law, Judith; brothers, Michael and Patrick and his wife Alice, as well as many loved nieces and nephews. A memorial service for Bob was held at 2 p.m. Thursday, May 14, 2015, at St. Stephens Episcopal Church in Richmond. At a later date, his cremains will be interred at the Hospital Point Columbarium at the Naval Academy, Annapolis. If desired, memorials may be sent to the Powhatan Habitat for Humanity of which Bob was the founding president or to the St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church urban outreach work.

Terry earned the Bronze Star, Meritorious Service and Army Commendation medals. Terry had several other careers after he retired from the Army. He had a law practice in Richmond from 1992 to 1998. Between 1998 and 2004, Terry worked

He loved walking the dog, hunting for frogs and crawdads in a creek, playing catch and shooting rockets. Terry loved to garden and found tremendous joy in transforming the acreage surrounding his home into an oasis of color, blanketed

Bon Secours Finds Its NICHE In Senior Care
164279-01
Every day, about 8,000 people in the United States turn 65. By 2025, the senior population will grow to nearly 72 million, according to the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services and the U. S. Department of State. Bon Secours recognizes this growing population of older adults requires different
models of care, particularly when they are hospitalized. To meet these specialized needs, the health system joined the nursing care program, NICHE (Nurses Improving Care for Healthsystem Elders), which is the premier designation for a hospital’s commitment to excellence in the care of patients 65 years and older.
NICHE, an international program, helps improve the care of older adults through its vision that all patients 65 and over are given sensitive and exemplary care. NICHE provides health systems with principles and tools to stimulate a change in the culture of health care facilities to achieve patient-centered care for older adults. Based at New York University’s College of Nursing, NICHE has over 550 hospitals and health care organizations in their network. Memorial Regional Medical Center recently received NICHE’s Exemplar Status, the highest of four possible program levels,
demonstrating a dedication to geriatric care. Programs focused on preventing functional decline in the hospital such as delirium prevention and purposeful visitors are just a few of the ways seniors at Bon Secours receive this high level of care. Bon Secours is leading Central Virginia in geriatric care through this new partnership with NICHE. Memorial Regional Medical Center is the third Bon Secours Senior Emergency Department to open in the Richmond area, following St. Mary’s and St. Francis hospitals. NICHE provides Bon Secours with resources, evidenced-

based tools, structure, and a collaborative community to stimulate change and to support the planning and implementation process of delivering exemplary care. The focus is on preventing complications that are more common among older adults. For example, the hospital’s physical environment is closely tailored to older patients to include nonglare floors, reduced noise, and ample room for walking aides. “Through our participation in the NICHE program we are able to offer evidence-based, interdisciplinary approaches that promote better outcomes, positive experiences, and improved care for the older adults in our care”, said Phyllis Turner, Clinical Educator and NICHE Coordinator at Memorial Regional Medical Center. “This leads to greater satisfaction rates for our patients, their families and our staff.”

dance policy. Crowder addressed the question that she said comes up often: “Who are residents in Hanover County?” She outlined the various situations that would qualify a student as a resident in Hanover County. Lives with a natural parent or parent by adoption. A military child whose parents have been called overseas and is being taking care of by a family member while the parent is away. There is a special power of attorney for these cases. A child living with a person in the event that both parents are deceased. Kinship care, or when parents are unable to care for the child and the child is living with either a court appointed guardian or legal custodian that is a resident of Hanover County. An emancipated minor that lives with another family member. Homeless students and foster care students. Crowder also proposed that the current policy change the document requirements a parent or guardian must provide to verify proof of residence in Hanover County. The current policy says that parents must provide any two of the following to establish
residency: U.S. or Virginia income tax return from the previous year. U.S. Internal Revenue Service tax reporting W-2 form from the current year. Deed or lease to a residence. Voter registration card. Receipt for personal property taxes paid within the last year. Payroll stub issued by an employer within the last three months and a telephone bill. The problem with the current policy, according to Crowder, is that most parents provide their voter registration card and payroll stub for residency verification, however, the address on both of these documents can be easily changed online and do not tie the parent to a house or property. “What I’m proposing is that parents must provide two [forms of residency verification], but one has to be from a category that shows a tie to a home,” Crowder said. “Perhaps it’s a sales agreement on a home, their mortgage payment bill or a rental contract, something that shows them tied to a residence in Hanover County. And then the second can be from another list, another portion of the list. And that would be landline, telephone, cable, internet, satellite [bills].” Another proposal Crowder
MITCHELL WINDOWS & SIDING # Maintenance Free # • Replacement Windows • Vinyl Siding • Custom Trim • Seamless Gutters —Licensed & Insured—
made was to update the policy to include the Virginia Code. Virginia Code is not included in the current policy, but states: “Any person who knowingly makes a false statement concerning the residency of a child in a particular school division or school attendance zone, for the purpose of (i) avoiding the tuition charges or (ii) enrollment in a school outside the attendance zone in which the student resides, shall be guilty of a Class 4 misdemeanor and shall be liable to the school division in which the child was enrolled as a result of such false statements for tuition charges for the time the student was enrolled in such school division.” Crowder also noted that the current policy does not provide consequences for those that are found guilty of falsifying information so that their child can attend a Hanover County school that is in a different school attendance zone than where they live. “My proposal is that if the residency information is conducted, the investigation is conducted and it is found that the student is not a resident living in the correct zone, then the student will be withdrawn within five days of letting the parent know,” Crowder said. Following Crowder’s suggestions, Dr. Jamelle S. Wilson,
superintendent, recommended that the school board take the recommendations for changes to the policy, recognizing that all of the language needs to be very clear. Norman Sulser, Cold Harbor District, then presented fellow school board members with a motion he had prepared before the meeting, and before Crowder’s presentation. Sulser’s motion stated that, effective June 15, “A family that does not qualify for admission under the Code of Virginia and approved policies of the Hanover County School Board will be required to pay the non-resident tuition fee set by the School Board.” After discussing some of the language used in the motion, the school board revised the motion in an effort to make it clearer. The revised motion stated, “The Hanover County School Board will seek payment from families who are in violation of Hanover County School Board policy 7-2.3 [the attendance policy] for admission to Hanover County Schools. The school board voted 6-1 to approve the motion, with Earl Hunter Jr., Henry District, voting against approval. “One of the things people, particularly the citizens, need

RICHMOND – HHHunt received with the Commitment to Community award Tuesday, May 12, at Hanover County’s 2015 Spirit of Volunteerism celebration at Hanover High School. Hosted by the Hanover County Board of Supervisors in cooperation with the Hanover Department of Community Resources, the annual awards celebration is designed to recognize outstanding volunteer service in Hanover County. The award, which recognizes organizations that are active community partners and make a positive impact on Hanover County, was presented to HHHunt for its significant contributions and ongoing partnership with Hanover Habitat for Humanity. Tim Bowring, executive director of Hanover Habitat for Humanity, said, “Every nonprofit dreams of finding an ‘angel’ whose donations have a significant impact in moving their mission forward at a critical time. HHHunt provided us with a flock of angels and built an entire house for one of our partner families in our first nine-home neighborhood, Bailey Woods.” In 2014, HHHunt employees, along with its community partners, donated time, materials and services to build a new home — in just 25 days — for a deserving family in Bailey Woods, the first-ever Hanover Habitat for Humanity community. Katharine Hunsaker, the homeowner who benefitted from the donation of this home, is a single mother of eight children who has been the sole supporter of her large
household for many years. “HHHunt, its employees and partners poured so many hours into the building of my home that everyone who knew about what they did marveled and still marvel today. They even exceeded their own ‘Build a home in 30 days’ deadline

and, because of them, after 25 years of rental properties, I am now a homeowner,” Hunsaker said. “HHHunt is a part of our family now. They have impressed upon my children the love and support of others in a tangible, lasting way. We will never forget what they have done for us, for our community and for our world.” HHHunt, known for its award-winning masterplanned communities, also designed and developed the community’s entrance, which included landscaping and signage. “I am still moved by the faith that they put in our organization that we would build a neighborhood around their
nonprofit and especially for the amazing example they set of generosity and caring.” “We are thrilled and humbled by this incredible honor,” said Daniel T. Schmitt, president and chief operating officer at HHHunt. “Partnering with Habitat for Humanity was a great experience for our company. It was truly an example of the HHHunt vision to improve the world and how people live. Our employees and community partners really made this all possible; they personally went out and built this home in 25 days. It was a fantastic experience and a great honor for our company.” HHHunt representatives extended their gratitude to

mitting acts of sexual harassment. She said the harassers, not the victims, should be the ones punished. “Sexual harassment is not OK, and my legs, shoulders and midriff do not cause the problem,” Kiss said.

Strategic Economic Plan approved By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local HANOVER — With the approval of a retooled Economic Development Strategic Plan, Hanover County is positioning itself in the ready position when development moves its way. At least that’s what officials envision with the detailed plan approved at last Wednesday’s Hanover County Board of Supervisors meeting. The plan points a laser beam focus on business retention, development and expansion. Recent changes to the county’s land use program are already paying dividends and interest is up for several sties in the county. With improving economic

conditions, the county seems poised to attract new business and commercial development. The plan outlines several
key objectives — one of them regarding the county’s desire to attract hotels and expand sports tourism. “You’ll be hearing more about such possibilities in the next few weeks,” said economic development director Edwin Gaskin. He said the plan has to be “nimble” and able to adjust to changing economic environments. “Hanover County is much different from the way it was 10 years ago and will be much more different 10 years from now,” he said. A plan that centers on business development provides a stable key that ensures Hanover’s unique way of life can survive well into the future,
according to Gaskin. “Enhancing the business climate allows us to increase business investment and we know we need this,” he said. “It’s one of the ways we pay for our needed services for our Hanover businesses. We need a strong commercial sector. It allows us to afford our rural heritage and our rural conservation approach going forward and allows us to preserve that ‘Hanover Brand’ for future generations.” The plan will address methods to attract high paying, quality jobs to Hanover. “We want to focus on higher quality and higher wage jobs in our recruitment in diverse indus-

Flag retirement ceremony
Quality Designed Wood Constructed Storage Sheds
Troop 544 Boy Scouts led a flag retirement ceremony for Pack 544 Cub Scouts on Tuesday, May 12, at the Shady Grove United Methodist Church. Scoutmaster Terry McCann, who also is a Hanover FireEMS chief showed the scouts an example of a fire stream caused by wind. Buckets of water were nearby for safety. The Flag Retirement Ceremony was a first experience for many of the Cub Scouts who earned advancements at the ceremony. The ceremony provided an example of the etiquette related to destroying a worn U.S. flag. United States Federal Law provides that “The flag, when it is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.” (36 U.S.C. 176(k)). If anyone has a flag they want to retire, members of Troop 544 will include the flag in their next retirement ceremony. It can be dropped off at the church office located at 8209 Shady Grove Road in Mechanicsville.

Mom forms faith-based group By Meredith Rigsby News Editor Two years ago, while volunteering as a Girl Scout leader, Wendy Schkeeper came up with the idea for the K.I.X. kid’s community group. With K.I.X., or children in Christ, she wanted kids to focus less on learning skills to earn badges and more on building character and developing a closer relationship to God. When Schkeeper approached Denise Wicklein, director of children’s services at Restoration Church, with the idea for the organization, it was exactly what Wicklein and the children’s team had been looking for. “Our children’s team had always longed for this kind of thing, particularly for our girls who were struggling with bullying and peer pressure and all of the things that young girls are having to deal with” Wicklein
said. “No one had stepped up to take that role and a couple years later she [Schkeeper] comes up and says ‘I have this idea’ and we’re like ta-da, here you go, this is the person we have been waiting for.” From there, Schkeeper and Wecklein, in 2014, met with 15 other mothers interested in the kid’s community group to lay out their ideas and plans. At that meeting, they presented the mission statement, enrolled 10 girls and had parents interested in becoming group leaders. The K.I.X. mission statement is to grow kids closer to God by fostering deep and long lasting friendships. Schkeeper said it is their hope that incorporating both structured life lessons and fun will help develop well-rounded individuals who follow Christ for their lifetime. K.I.X. is offered for girls from
first to fifth grade and meets during the calendar school year from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month at Pearson’s Corner Elementary School. At the first meeting of the month, the kids are taught a life lesson such as how to respond to peer pressure, how to treat others and the consequences of bullying. The second meeting of the month is considered a “fun meeting,” where the leaders organize an activity for the children. Some of the activities include having a professional jump rope team teach the girls to jump rope, organizing an entrepreneurship night and going to Skateland. In addition, the organization participates in a service project each year. This year, K.I.X. went to a local nursing home and visited the elderly. The dues for K.I.X. com-

munity group is $25 per year. This month, the organization is offering $5 off for registration. “We want to keep that cost low because we want it accessible to all children, and we do have grants available if there are some families that just cannot afford it,” Wicklein said. The money collected from membership dues goes toward purchasing supplies for activities and for background checks. All parents that want to participate in the community
group as a leader must agree to a background check. K.I.X. kid’s community group also receives funding from Restoration Church as part of its micro missions project. The community group was initially only for girls, but, after expanding the number of girls in the organization to 60 and having interested dads ask if there was an opportunity for the boys, Schkeeper and Wecklein decided to extend the group to boys starting at
the beginning of the 20152016 school year. An initial meet and greet will take place on Sept. 9. Schkeeper and Wecklein said they plan to have the boys and girls meet on the same night to provide the most convenience for parents with multiple children. The meetings begin with everyone together, submitting prayer requests and participating in a group see MOM, pg. 35

Hawks hold on to winning edge over Atlee By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Hanover provided the bulk of the offense early, Atlee provided the bulk of it late. Neither team wanted to yield. But in the end, the Raiders’ determined rally in the sixth inning came up one run short in a 7-6 loss to the county rival Hawks Thursday night at Atlee High School. Hanover took a big lead by scoring three runs in each of the third and fourth innings. Atlee scrapped for a run in the third and two in the fourth to make it 6-3. The Hawks added a run in the top sixth inning, but the Raiders scored three in the bottom of the inning to close to within a run. “We knew the game wasn’t over,” said Hanover head coach Stephanie Acors. “That’s what we kept saying in between innings, ‘This game is not over. It is going to take a lot more than one run to win this game,’ which it did.” Hanover first baseman Kaylyn Shepherd provided a lot more than one run for the Hawks, going 2 for 3 with two runs and four RBIs, including a home run over the right field fence in the fourth inning. She said the win was a welcome reward after a rough couple of weeks that included three losses to other county rivals – two to

Lee-Davis and one to Patrick Henry. “It’s a good win, definitely,” Shepherd said. “It’s definitely important [to beat another county team] because we’re all close. We all know each other.
The Mechanicsville Local
May 20, 2015
… It’s still good to beat Atlee.” Shepherd, who flew out to left field in her first at-bat and walked in her second appearance at the plate, said she was looking for something to drive the third time she stepped up
to the plate. When Atlee pitcher Laura Kate Moss got behind in the count, Shepherd took advantage of it. “I took a big rip at it,” Shepherd said. Hanover shortstop Haley
Gilbert went 2 for 4 and scored two runs. Second baseman Lauren Hughes hit a double and scored a run. Atlee had its share of big hits, too. Raiders second baseman Annamarie Warley went 3
for 4 with a double and a home run. Left fielder Malorie Fodill went 2 for 3 with a double and two runs scored. Despite getting tagged with the loss, Moss finished with nine strikeouts. Atlee head coach John Earley said he was pleased with his team’s fight – and told his players so. “When we went out after the game, we said, ‘It was good to see you not give up, and good to see you come back and generate some runs and play a little bit better in the field,’ ” Earley said. “They played better than us tonight. I don’t think either team played particularly good defense … but they were hitting the ball. They came out and hit the ball hard mostly every time.” Acors said the win was important after the rough couple of weeks the Hawks have had. “It feels really good, so good that it hasn’t sunk in yet,” Acors said. “We really needed this going into next week and conference tournament.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

Hawk bats awake in big victory over C-feds approaches and driving the ball opposite field, and I think that really paid off tonight.” Saunders, like all the Hanover batters, did well regardless of who was on the mound for the Confederates. He faced three different LeeDavis pitchers as the Hawks forced the Confederates to go deep in their pitching rotation in the hopes of cooling Hanover off. “We had to burn some pitching tonight in a 10-3 loss,” said Lee-Davis head coach Kenny Lewis. “That’s kind of the double-whammy. You lose 10-3 and you burned quite a few pitchers – and in less than 24 hours we have a very good team to play. So not ideal.” The team the Confederates needed to face was Glen Allen, which won the contest 3-1 Wednesday. The Jaguars then beat Hanover 4-3 Friday to allbut secure the top seed in the forthcoming Conference 20 tournament. Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.
By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Hanover’s baseball team had been struggling with its bats the past few weeks, especially with the notion of stringing together hits with players in scoring position. Tuesday night, in a meeting with county rival Lee-Davis, the Hawks emerged from their slump, getting 10 hits and four sacrifice flies in a 10-3 victory over the visiting Confederates. Left fielder Aaron Saunders had the best of a good night for Hanover, going 2 for 2 with a triple, double, two RBIs and two runs scored. Catcher Brady Didlake went 2 for 3 with a tworun double. And right fielder Elliott Sledd went 2 for 3 with two runs scored. Third baseman Camden Grimes. designated hitter Hunter Marshall, first baseman Tabb Patrick and shortstop Cayman Richardson all sacrificed in runs for the Hawks. “We picked a good night to swing the bats, because Lee-Davis has got good pitching,” said Hanover head coach Charlie Dragum. “They jumped on us two to nothing and we picked a good night to turn the bats around and have better atbats across the board.” Saunders, who walked in his

Hawker belts two HRs in win over Hawks By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – For the first three innings of their game at Hanover Tuesday, the Lee-Davis softball team generated little offense, managing just four baserunners and getting none of them home. The Confederates made up for that in the fourth inning,
however, scoring six runs and coasting to a 10-1 victory over the Hawks. By the time the game was over, Lee-Davis had amassed 14 hits and forced four Hanover errors – the kind of performance Confederate head coach Jackie Davis had been looking for. “We went through a period of time when we were strug-
gling a little bit at the plate,” Davis said. “Tonight, early on, we were hitting those long fly balls and I’m like, ‘You’ve got to cut through it and hit good line drives, something down and hard, something that’s going to make the [other] team have to play.’ … When we do that, that’s when we’re successful at the plate.” One of her charges, how-

Patriots fell to the host Wildcats 2-0 Friday night. Deep Run got the two runs it needed in the fifth inning – one off Patrick Henry starting pitcher Chesdin Harrington and the other off reliever William Strong. The Wildcats finished with seven hits on the evening, while the Patriots had just four. “Hitting’s contagious, so I guess not hitting’s contagious, also” said Patrick Henry head coach Sam Hart. “We’ve got two games before we start our conference tournament [this] week. Maybe we’ll get on it a little bit and it’ll carry over into Friday.”
a big day for the Confederates. Left fielder Sydney Guess went 2 for 4 with a run and an RBI. Third baseman Austyn Merrill went 2 for 4 with two runs and an RBI. “They’re a team loaded with hitters,” said Hanover head coach Stephanie Acors. “Their freshman hitters are eating us up. Yeah, I knew they were good.” Hanover was led by first baseman Kaylyn Shepherd,
who went 2 for 2 with a double and an RBI; and pitcher Haley Gilbert, who went 2 or 4 with a run. Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.
MECHANICSVILLE – Atlee was not planning on taking Henrico lightly when the Warriors visited the Raiders for a baseball game Thursday night. For the first couple of innings, the Warriors put up a good fight. But Atlee’s batters found the range on Henrico pitching in the third inning, and the Raiders’ offense erupted for 10 runs that frame as Atlee rolled to a 13-1 victory. “Henrico came out, got out on us a little bit, and got excited,” said Atlee head coach Roscoe Johnson. “We came out flat, just that first inning. … [Starting pitcher] Brett Ayers is a good pitcher for us. He usually starts off a little slow and they hit him a little bit and got a run. Then our kids stepped up and answered the call. The kids did a great job of hitting the baseball and playing, infield to outfield.” Both teams had a flawless night defensively, recording no errors. But offensively, Henrico managed just three hits to 15 by the Raiders – 10 of them in the third inning. “We told them, just go out Deep Run 2, Patrick Henry 0 GLEN ALLEN – Deep Run there and pretend it’s [batting practice] and have fun and hit hitters only got to Patrick Henry the baseball,” Johnson said. “The pitchers in one inning, but that inning was enough as the kids are starting to get it.”

He said the team members are also making a play in the remaining days of the regular season for improving their seeding in the Conference 11 playoffs. Three Raiders had multiple hit nights. Andrew Foster, who went 2 for 3 with a double; Tyler Blaum, who went 2 for 2 with an RBI; and Brandon Crosby. Crosby had the best night of all. He went 2 for 2 with a two-run home run. He said he was just looking for something he could hit for a single. He got a curve ball inside, and turned around on it fast enough to drive it over the fence. “Coach has been telling me to wait back on everything,” Crosby said. “Lately, I’ve been really in front, so they just said to wait back on it and just try to stay middle away, and just hit the ball.” He had no doubts about where the ball would end up. “I knew right off the bat that it would go over,” Crosby said. “But coach always says to sprint out of the box, so I had to do that. But I knew it was gone.” Nabeel Gootee had a double and two RBIs for the Raiders.
struggled somewhat this season as nerves got to her at the plate. She found a solution to that problem at Hanover. “I actually was, like, singing a song in my head, just to make me relax and stay focused on the ball,” Hawker said. “I just kind of glided it over.” She wasn’t the only one with
SOFTBALL GLEN ALLEN – Patrick Henry took its time – five innings – but it eventually overcame a 1-0 deficit to earn a 4-1 softball victory over the host Wildcats Friday night. Leadoff hitter Baylee Grandstaff put Deep Run ahead in the first inning with a solo home run. But the Patriots, with the help of a two-run single by Jenna Pitts and a 2 for 3 performance by Beth Ford, would not be denied. “It was tight. It was ugly,” said Patrick Henry head coach Shelby Foltz. “We had a really slow start.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

Freeman pulls out last-minute win over Raiders By Michael Phillips Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – It was just a regular-season game, but Monday’s boys matchup between Douglas Freeman and Atlee was the perfect opener to a big month of high school lacrosse. Freeman pulled out a 1411 victory in the final minutes after trailing most of the way, claiming the unofficial title of best public school team in the area. The Raiders’ loss was the first either team had taken against public school competition this year. “It’s a big game,” Rebels senior John Woolley said. “Every year you know it’s going to be physical and chippy.” Freeman leaned on sophomore goalie Joe Hoskins early. He was starting just his second game of the season, but with the team’s regular starter unavailable, he turned back a deluge of Raiders shots in the first half, recording eight saves

Hanover’s boys, girls advance to tennis regionals Bill Wheaton. “But I think everybody is really, really happy with how they performed. … We won so many more close games than the last time that we played them.” The regional tournament begins next week. Both teams are now focusing on the Conference 20 individual tennis tournament, which began Monday at Hanover.
By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Both of Hanover boys and girls tennis teams clinched berths in the Region 4A South team championships with wins over Glen Allen’s boys and girls teams, respectively, on Monday. In both cases, the Hawks swept the Jaguars 5-0. The boys match was held at Burkwood Swim and Racquet Club, while the girls match was held at Hanover High School But both Hanover teams lost to dominant Midlothian in the conference finals Thursday. The Hawks boys fell in their championship match at Midlothian High School 5-1, while the

peared in the second half. “They made some adjustments and started having some long possessions,” he said. “It’s tough to play long stretches of defense in lacrosse, no matter who you are.” On the Freeman sideline, Hovis sensed his players were playing too tight, having turned over the ball in the midfield multiple times. “Our coach said we can just play how we want,” senior Jack Shade said. It’s a dangerous thing for a coach to say, but the Rebels played some of their best lacrosse of the day after the edict, ending the game on a 6-2 run that clinched victory. “What’s funny is once I (set them loose), we actually played with more composure,” Hovis said. Watson and Woolley, two of the area’s most highly regarded players, led their teams with four goals each. For Freeman, Ford Hendrix, Evan Tyler and Shade all logged hat tricks.
Atlee’s Dylan Rice and Davis Hatch each scored three as well. The game was played in front of a boisterous crowd, no surprise given the level of play that was anticipated and delivered. Both sides regrouped afterward, knowing the matchup was likely to be repeated soon. This week is the private school tournament, which is followed by the public school tournament. Atlee and Freeman both made a convincing case on Monday that they’ll be in the mix for the title. Michael Phillips can be reached at mphillips@timesdispatch.com. D.
