HANOVER — Canova Peterson, who represents the Mechanicsville District on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors and is a Vietnam veteran, fought back tears on Memorial Day as he recalled stories of friends and colleagues who didn’t come back from the war in Southeast Asia. He served as the keynote speaker at last week’s Memorial Day celebration held at the Hanover War Memorial on U.S. 301. About 500 members of the community joined Peterson and hundreds of other veterans, and issued a collective nod of thanks to those who served and those who paid the ultimate price. “We have an active group of veterans in this county, and they really support these events,” said Chickahominy District supervisor Angela Kelly-Wiecek. Peterson recalled the sad task of having to Medevac his best tank artillery gunner who was wounded beyond recognition in an enemy attack.

He sat on the stoop of a doorway to a business that was closed. Based on his unkempt appearance, he was probably homeless. But there was no indication that he was inebriated or under the influence of any narcotics. This encounter took place the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend in my hometown. I hurriedly got out of the vehicle to go into a shop, rushing to accomplish all the tasks on my to-do list. He said hello and I asked how he was doing. He said fine and I went into the shop. When I returned to the vehicle, he asked if I had a couple of dollars for a sandwich. Rather than dig through my always overwhelmed purse, I said, “I’m sorry — you should have asked that before I went into the shop.” He nodded and said he understood and thanked me. That brief exchange put a damper on the day as I rushed about taking care of the business that took me on that 350-mile journey into the hills of West Virginia. Why didn’t I take the time to look through my purse and give the man some money? The guilt was like a kick in the gut. We never know about someone’s circumstances — but we should help those in need. As these words come across the computer monitor, my eyes well up with tears because I had an opportunity to help someone in need and I placed my “gotta get this done” attitude ahead of a stranger who merely asked for a couple of dollars for a sandwich. We’re never too old to learn a lesson and that’s how I feel about this interaction. I should have helped and I can’t turn back time.
Congratulations! Even though she will be greatly missed, we wish Dr. Jamelle S. Wilson, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools, all the best as she prepares for her new role at the University of Richmond. She has been a friend to The Mechanicsville Local and accessible when we needed her input. She will remain with the school district until Aug. 1. Rumor has it Dr. Michael Gill, assistant superintendent of instructional leadership, will succeed her. Stay tuned to this story. Melody Kinser

First responders’ actions with daughter praised I love Hanover County. Of course, after the events of May 20, 2015, I’m reminded that I love many people and places and that life is precious, fleeting, precarious and miraculous. You see, that night my 17-year-old daughter, Megan, walked away from a potentially deadly car accident. My purpose in writing is to say a public thank you to those who cared for Megan. First, some details. Megan was driving home on Cedar Lane at about 6 p.m. A large deer decided to cross the road, right in front of her. She swerved to avoid a collision and ended up crossing the oncoming lane, upside down in the ditch. No one was injured, there was no head-on collision, no other cars were involved, and the deer even survived. The windshield of Megan’s car was shattered and there wasn’t much room between Megan’s head and the “reconfigured” roof of the car, but there was enough (thank God and Honda). All of the first responders from Hanover Fire-EMS companies 8 and 10 and the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office did their work with admirable efficiency and professionalism. I can’t thank them all by name, but I thank them each, nonetheless. On the scene I spoke with EMT David Jernigan at some length and I observed how he and his partner worked with Megan. He is very knowledgeable and highly professional while at the same time being friendly, compassionate and generous with his time. Similarly, Deputy Godfrey showed exemplary professionalism in his management of the scene and in his interactions with Megan. And, his friendly and calming demeanor and practical advice were a tremendous help to Megan. I’m sure that these professionals have worked many roll-over accidents with far more traumatic and even tragic outcomes. They responded in ways that showed that they each understood that this was the first (and only, I hope) such incident for Megan. They responded with compassion, warmth and expertise, and I was reminded that we are fortunate to live within a special community. And what story of extraordinary good fortune (except for the part about the totaled car) would be complete without a Good Samaritan? George Andrews was just doing some yard work near the road when an upside down Civic came flying at him. He responded as I hope I would. He ran to the car, which was still running. He entered the
upside down car which lay at an angle and was not entirely stable in the ditch. He got Megan to turn the car off to lessen the possibility of fire. He called 911. He assessed her condition and the dangers of remaining in the car. He and another Good Samaritan (who was gone by the time I got there) worked to help Megan get out of her seatbelt and to crawl out of the car to safety. George (and the other mystery man) — thank you for taking care of Megan. You didn’t have to do all that you did. Your kindness and bravery made an impression on us and provides another reminder that our community just might have more than its fair share of heroes. John Mahoney Nancy Israel Mechanicsville
Chalkley endorsed to stay commonwealth’s attorney’ On June 9, 2015, the Republican Party will hold its primary election to select their candidates for various public offices throughout Hanover County. One of the candidate selections that will occur on this date is the selection for Hanover County’s commonwealth’s attorney. This primary election for this office is particularly important because there is no contender for the office outside of the Republican Party, meaning the winner of the primary election will be Hanover County’s next commonwealth’s attorney. There are currently two candidates seeking the Republican nomination – the incumbent, Trip Chalkley, and an attorney named Ed Vaughn.

In a prepared statement, Wilson expressed appreciation for her tenure in Hanover on a professional and personal level. “I will be forever grateful for the opportunities that have been afforded to me during my career with Hanover County Public Schools, and I will cherish the wonderful memories

of Hanover County well since taking office in 2008 and this is evident in the fact that Hanover was given a 99 percent excellent rating for public safety in a recent citizens’ survey. These are reasons enough for me to say we are fortunate to have Mr. Chalkley as our commonwealth’s attorney and I sincerely hope that other residents of Hanover will get to the polls and vote to keep him in office this coming June 9.

and friendships that I have made along the way,” Wilson said. Although her professional position may be changing, Wilson remains committed to Hanover. “Although I am moving on in my professional career, I will remain a proud resident and ardent supporter of Hanover County,” she said. Wilson also served as an adjunct professor at the University of Richmond’s School of Continuing and Professional Studies, and returns to that campus to assume the dean’s position in that department. “She has helped guide the school division through perhaps the most difficult economic times of our generation,” Bob Hundley, Hanover County School Board chair,
said. He said Wilson served with a commitment to excellence and genuine dedication to the county’s schools and its students. “Dr. Wilson has served with honor and distinction since beginning her career in education with Hanover County Public Schools in 1991 as an English teacher,” Hundley said. “On behalf of the Hanover County School Board, I would like to extend my sincerest appreciation for her dedicated service to and exceptional leadership of our school division. Without fail, she has remained focused on student achievement, which is evident in the long-lasting success of our school division,” he added. Hank Lowry, Ashland school board representative, said Wilson’s legacy is farreaching, and he recognized the enormous impact on his personal approach to overseeing the system. “Dr Wilson guided the

Hanover system through a hard four-year period. She had to chart a path through declining finances and enrollment while keeping the quality education expected and demanded by taxpayers and parents,” Lowry said. “She was my guide as I began my SB [school board] service and taught me a lot about expectations and performance, in the education world.” The tough job of replacing Wilson begins when board members meet on Tuesday, June 9. “The school board will be meeting within the next two weeks to discuss the transitional process. Our discussions will focus on whether or not to appoint an interim superintendent that would serve the school division while the board determines the appropriate search process for the next superintendent,” Hundley said. “We hope to have more to report at the June 9 school board meeting.”

ECHANICSVILLE — The First Annual Junior/Senior Homeschool Prom was held Saturday, May 16, at Church of the Redeemer. For several years, those affiliated with the homeschool community have had a desire
to have a traditional Junior/ Senior prom. The vision and passion of junior Megan Adkins this past year made the dream become a reality. She coordinated with other homeschooled juniors to hold a prom and agreed on a Classic Hollywood theme. They built a 6.5-foot tall by 4foot wide Hollywood sign that served as the focal point of the event as it illuminated against
a black fabric wall. After walking down a red carpet into the facility, the colossal sign welcomed guests. A high point of the night was the dancing. The Dovetail Group managed the event with the music and ballroom dance lessons each hour. Some already knew the foxtrot, swing and waltz, but, for those who didn’t know, they were on the floor learning with the
seasoned dancers. Most came without dates, but even those who attended with a partner danced with others who helped them learn. There were group dances while black and white old Hollywood movies played above. Graduating seniors were congratulated. They are Emily Browder, Andrew Suggs, Ian Firth, Caleb Settler, Collin
Nigro, Ben Tyler, Donovan Vest and Emily Kuhn. Members of the Prom Committee were Megan Adkins, Emily Kuhn, Elisabeth Tyler, Jonathan Kobb and Holly Woodward. Helping the students organize the dance were Lowe’s, Bruce Auto Parts, The Dovetail Group (That Dance Thing), Gracious Delights Catering, Randy Mathis
Photography and Church of the Redeemer. Plans are being made for next year’s prom, which is scheduled for April 30, 2016. Students who are homeschooled juniors who wish to be a part of the planning committee are urged to email hsprom4u@gmail.com. (This event is not affiliated with any group or organization.)

Paul put himself through college (B.S. from Colorado State University) and graduate school (M.S. from Duke University) by working logging camps in the summers under the encouragement of his Uncle Roy, a
U.S. Forester. After enduring the hard labor and dangers of forestry, Paul decided that was not the life for him. He served four years in the U.S. Navy as a lieutenant during World War II. He married Audrey Jean Hamblen on July 26, 1947. Together they raised two daughters, Paula Shoemaker (Jim) of Rancho Palos Verde, California, and Nancy Miller (Jeff) of Mechanicsville. After briefly working for his brother, Paul went on to have two 30-year careers in marketing, retiring at the age of 82. His first was with Cosmodyne Corporation and the second with Hydranautics. Paul and Audrey lived for 66 years in California before coming to Richmond in 2013. Audrey passed in May of that year. Paul continued to bring joy to his family for another two years. In addition to his daughters and sons-in-law, he leaves behind five grandchildren who will cherish his memory. They are Lisa Thompson (Aaron) of Virginia, Kelly Miller of Ohio, Julie Miller of Texas, and Brian and Jean Shoemaker of California.

NANCY HOBBS Nancy Cofer Hobbs, age 80, of Mechanicsville, peacefully passed away on Monday, May 25, 2015. She was the widow of Albert L. “Zeke” Hobbs Jr. She is survived by her children and their spouses, Becky Shermer (Sam), Betsy Hannon (Bob) and Davey Hobbs (Teresa); and four grandchildren, Heather and Robbie Hannon and Sydney and Chloe Shermer, all of Mechanicsville. Nancy graduated from John Marshall High School in 1953. She married Zeke in October 1956 and they enjoyed 53 years of marriage. They settled in Mechanicsville to raise their children. Nancy was a lover of summer, the beach, hosting large family gatherings and meals. However, her greatest
joy was her grandchildren. Nancy provided Thanksgiving Day dinners for her family for 50 consecutive years. Her vocation in life was being a “professional child-rearer.” By the time her youngest child completed college and was ready to move out on his own, grandchildren entered her life and her child-rearing continued with the next generation. She insisted on keeping the grandchildren in her home while her children worked. This continued even after she moved to Covenant Woods Retirement Community in 2009. At Covenant Woods, she made sure that her home had ample room to continue having large family meals, sleepovers for grandchildren and space for them to do their homework. Family was always Nancy’s priority. She never allowed her “nest” to become “empty.” Her family is so very grateful for her constant nurturing and love. Funeral services were held at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 30, 2015, at the Mechanicsville Chapel of Bennett Funeral Home at 8014 Lee-Davis Road. Interment followed in Hanover Memorial Park. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions to the Muscular Dystrophy Association.

REV. DARRELD SHOOP Rev. Darreld Russell Shoop, 90, passed away on Thursday, May 28, 2015, at Kings Daughter’s Nursing Home in Staunton. Returning from World War II as a Gunner’s Mate in the United States Navy in 1946, Rev. Shoop married Verna Evelyn Middleton and began their life together farming in upstate New York. After having six children, Rev. Shoop felt the calling to the ministry and upon being ordained into the United Methodist Church, he gave his farm to his brother-in-law and began his ministry in northern Pennsylvania. When asked why he gave instead of selling the farm, he said he believed “the Lord would provide his way.” Rev. Shoop spent his last days sharing his room in the nursing home with his wife, Verna, the woman he met and married after returning from the War in 1946. Rev. Shoop began his ministry in 1958, serving five churches in northern Pennsylvania. He moved back to New York and continued his ministry. It was there he became involved in the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. In 1966, he was called to the Virginia conference of the United Methodist Church and moved his family (eight children now) to Brunswick County. He continued serving churches in Prince George County and Albemarle County. Rev. Shoop was the first director of “Westview on the James,” the United Methodist Church Camp in Goochland, and completed his ministry with charges in King George County and Mechanicsville. Rev. Shoop is survived by his wife, Verna; and their eight children, 35 grandchildren, 58 great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren. His children include Cynthia
Williams, Dorothy Hartwell and her husband, Wayne, Darreld “Russ” Shoop II and his wife, Sharon, David Shoop, Paul Shoop and his wife, Vali, Philip Shoop and his wife, Sandy, Valerie Johnson and her husband, Larry, and Joseph Shoop and his wife, Debra. A memorial service was held at 2 p.m. Sunday, May 31, 2015, at the Calvary Baptist Church at 105 Garland Drive in Staunton. The funeral service was on Monday, June 1, 2015, at the Oakwood United Methodist Church at 1291 Columbia Road in Columbia. A viewing and family gathering started at 11 a.m. with the service following at 12 p.m. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to Gideons International, Augusta South Camp 4501.9, P.O. Box 2021, Staunton, VA 24402-2021. Coffman Funeral Home and Crematory at 230 Frontier Drive in Staunton was in charge of his arrangements.

Topham accepts ‘Bike gardens’ provide welcome business retention as town readies for cycling event position in town Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com
Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND — Joseph M. Topham Jr. has joined the Town of Ashland as manager of business retention and expansion. He officially started working for the town on Thursday, May 28. He comes to the town from King William County, where he served as the executive assistant of operations since 2011. In that role, he worked closely with the county’s Economic Development Authority and acted as a liaison between local, state and federal officials and the business community. As executive assistant of operations, Topham oversaw a number of day-to-day functions for the county and managed public communications in his role as the county’s public information officer. Before becoming employed by King William County, Topham served as district liaison for former U.S. Rep. Tom Perriello, D-5, in Central and Southside Virginia.

JOSEPH TOPHAM JR. Topham is a graduate of VCU’s Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs, as well as the Sorensen Institute for Political Leadership at the University of Virginia. A Richmond native, he said he looked forward “to working with the vibrant Ashland business community.” “I am thrilled to be joining a terrific team here in Ashland,” Topham said, “I love this town, it is a special place with so much going for it. I am looking forward to working with the business community here in Ashland, and excited about taking on this new role.”
SHLAND – Recent visitors to the Town of Ashland probably have noticed the colorful bicycles with flower-basket accents that punctuate the downtown. The “bike gardens” are the work of the Ashland Main Street Association’s resident artist, Nancy Cozart. They not only serve as public art, they send a clear welcome message to the town’s international visitors participating in the UCI World Cycling Championships this fall. “We want to ensure that our international cycling competitors and visitors know that Ashland is a bikefriendly community,” Tom Wulf, executive director of the Ashland Main Street Association, said. The Bike Garden project began with Main Street’s Design Committee, which

welded base-plates to the bikes along with various found objects, covered the wheels, and spray-painted the frames along with area artist Betsy Taylor. They were careful not to paint the tires as painted rubber is not recyclable. Cozart and RandolphMacon College students Dashonte Temony and Megan McGowan assisted with the planters that adorn each bike as part of their volunteerism for Macon A Difference Day on April 25. “Nancy’s works have generated a lot of excitement in Ashland,” Wulf noted. “Other local businesses and organizations now want their own bike garden sculpture to adorn their property.” Wulf said Main Street is working on process to allow for additional bike gardens to be created.

Planning Commission OKs motocross race and training facility By Laura Kebede Richmond Times-Dispatch HANOVER — The Hanover County Planning Commission voted in favor of a proposal Thursday, May 21, for a motocross dirt bike race track and training facility in Doswell.

ing and limit evening hours — passed 5-2 with Iverson and Bailey dissenting. It was not immediately clear when supervisors will take up the matter. Dozens of families from Hanover, Spotsylvania County and even out of state filled the meeting room in support of the proposed motocross
track. Nearly 20 children in racing jerseys and adults with “Yes to MX” stickers pleaded with the commission to allow a dirt bike racing track, pointing out that the nearest training ground is in Maryland. The planning staff recommended approval of the proposal, citing
county supervisors’ recent approval of an economic development plan to promote sports tourism to boost hotel stays and other business from out-oftown visitors. The nearly 44-acre property along U.S. 1 near Verdon Road is desigsee MOTOCROSS, pg. 17

then flip-flopping their titles midway through their tenure. They have one VHSL (Virginia High School League) High School State Softball Championship on their record, but, more importantly, they have coached all of these years with a sense of class and grace that is rarely seen in high schools sports today. All the girls that have gone through the program have not only enjoyed many successes on the field, but they have also learned many things that help them through everyday life today. John Early’s coaching career has included both college and high school coaching in multiple sports spanning more than 33 years. Mrs. Levy has coached softball in Hanover County for 33 years, starting at Lee-Davis High School. Then, except for a couple of years, she has coached softball at Atlee High School since it’s opening in 1991. I can think of less than a handful of coaches in this county that have had as long a run at the same sport as these two coaches. Both of these coaches will

nated as industrial use in the county’s comprehensive plan. The facility would include 30 recreational vehicles campsites for race participants and be allowed to hold three races per year. Several accommodations were made in the proposal to reduce noise. A natural ridge line running north and south hems the facility between U.S. 1 and train tracks just before Interstate 95. The proposal also includes a berm with a fence that would further decrease noise, said David P. Maloney,
An incumbent officeholder is usually proud to run on his or her record to demonstrate their effectiveness in the job. That’s why it is curious that the current commonwealth’s attorney, Trip Chalkley, avoids discussing his track record, will not attend and debate at community meetings, and allows others to trash the other guy, which is a typical diversionary tactic of desperate politicians. That’s why I feel it is important for citizens of Hanover County to know the identity of Jeff Dixon, who is the source of the smear campaign against Mr. Vaughn with several Letters to Editor.
Jeff Dixon’s Facebook clearly states “married to Shari Skipper Dixon.” Shari Skipper (Dixon) is the chief deputy prosecutor in the commonwealth’s attorney’s office and reported to be eyeing the top job herself in the future. Just sayin’ – consider the source of your information when a family member has a very good reason to keep his wife employed by supporting her boss in a political campaign. The commonwealth’s attorney’s office represents all the people and should not be held hostage by political ambitions. Ed Vaughn is the other guy running for commonwealth’s attorney on June 9. Ed Vaughn continues to address ways to improve the law enforcement and legal processes in Hanover County. Ed has laid out a plan for fighting drug crimes and how to rehabilitate youthful offenders. While Ed Vaughn is running on Quality of Life issues in Hanover, it has become quite obvious why Mr. Chalkley won’t talk publicly on anything. If you truly want the facts, here’s what you need to know. The commonwealth’s attorney’s office is broken. The first sign of trouble started with constant staff
the Planning Commission secretary. The area is heavily wooded to the north and south. Training from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. during the week would involve one to three bikes at one time, according to the applicant, Randall Everett. Weekends would generally have 50 to 100 bikes at one time, which would translate to 130 to 150 people attending a practice at one time. Everett estimated attracting 200 people during race weekends. Everett has competed with dirt bikes internationally and addressed some of the concerns nearby residents had
about noise and thinking the facility would be a magnet for drugs and alcohol. “There are a lot of positives,” said Everett, a Nokesville native. “The families here and the kids here need a safe place to ride. ... I strive to be a great neighbor and I promise you that.” Opponents cited environmental, noise and traffic concerns. “I endure the noise from Kings Dominion and the rock quarry,” said Regan Armentrout-Waggin, who has lived in Doswell for nearly 50 years. “Sometimes I can barely hear my TV over the noise.”
be sorely missed, not only for their coaching skills, but for the valuable lessons they have helped the girls learn to prepare them for life after high school. I’ve been lucky to watch these two coaches work with the young ladies in the programs they have coached. I wish the coaches that follow them the best of luck. They will need it.

turnover. Since 2007, a total of 24 people have left the commonwealth’s attorney’s office, including 15 attorneys and nine others, including legal assistants, office manager and victim witness program directors. (Information confirmed under a Freedom of Information request dated November 2014). The turnover continues to increase over the last six months. Hanover County has wasted time and money for almost eight years to hire and train new staff. Most citizens don’t realize that this constant revolving door of staff also directly impacts prosecution of cases because it places a disproportionate workload and stress on the remaining staff when cases have to be reassigned and rescheduled. Chaotic office administration and low morale go handin-hand, so money is not the main reason that so many fine attorneys have chosen to leave. Attorneys know that they will not get rich working for a sal-
ary as a public prosecutor. If attorneys want to get rich, private practice is the best choice for them – not public service. The current commonwealth’s attorney has publicly acknowledged that he rarely tries cases. His chief deputy also is a no-show in the courtroom most of the time. So when the highest-paid senior prosecutors rarely (if ever) prosecute cases, this also reveals a glaring pay disparity for the other prosecutors. Hanover County actually pays the commonwealth’s attorney $37,416 over and above the pay scale established by the Virginia Compensation Board (information found at State Compensation Board,
Constitutional Officers Classification and Pay Plan, 2014 rates). What does Trip Chalkley actually do for approximately $200,000 in salary, benefits and a county car? You don’t lead sitting behind a desk and collecting salary, benefits and a county car without doing something worthwhile. Many in law enforcement and the legal profession see this first-hand and they are appalled at what’s happening in Hanover County. When top prosecutors don’t try high-profile cases, it sends the wrong message to judges and opposing attorneys that a particular case is just not that important. see LETTERS, pg. 19

That’s why many citizens in Hanover County were stunned that the DUI charge was never prosecuted in the Meg Menzies case despite all the evidence. Who made that decision? Compare a similar case in Henrico County with an eight-year sentence versus four years in Hanover. The buck stops with the commonwealth’s attorney. Now Hanover is facing another really big problem. Col. David R. Hines, sheriff, recently acknowledged a growing problem with hard drugs like heroin and drugrelated crimes like robberies and break-ins in our communities. After law enforcement does its part, it is up to the commonwealth’s attorney to get the criminals out of our neighborhoods and into court. Citizens of Hanover expect no less. How can the current commonwealth’s attorney be serious about crime when approximately 50 percent of the arrests never make it to Circuit Court for criminal prosecution? (Taken from the official website of Virginia’s Judicial System – Caseload Statistical Information). Does this mean that one-half of the crime in Hanover didn’t really happen? Crime impacts property values and quality of life in Hanover. Local elections have a tremendous impact on our every-

The biggest causes that the grant helps with are those devoted to social responsibility, youth development and community involvement, Mike Delvin, State Farm Agent and chairman of the board for Patrick Henry YMCA, said. day life in Hanover. There is an important choice to be made on June 9. It’s time to retire the do-nothing incumbent commonwealth’s attorney and elect Ed Vaughn on June 9. Ed Vaughn is ready to serve the people.

Peace aids agency issue Recently I experienced an issue with a state agency. After attempting to resolve the problem on my own without any success, I reached out to Del. Chris Peace of the 97th District. My hope was that he would be able to help. And, boy, did he. My issue was responded to by the state agency within 48 hours. I was overly impressed with the desire to help, the compassion and the quick response that Del. Chris Peace and especially Julie Coggsdale, his chief of staff, provided in order to work towards a solution. The delegate and his chief of staff were extremely helpful and demonstrated that he truly does care about the needs and concerns of his constituents. I am thankful for the service that the delegate has given to the commonwealth, and I am glad he represents the residents of the 97th District. Kim RaBorg Mechanicsville

Chalkley serves county well For the past seven and a half years, Hanover County has been well served by having Trip Chalkley serve as its commonwealth’s attorney. The commonwealth’s attorney’s office, under his leadership, has aggressively prosecuted criminal violations and secured convictions. Trip’s office has secured convictions in three separate cold cases; most recently in an 11-year-old murder case. Felonies are tried without concern to conviction rate as his philosophy of every case that can be prosecuted must be prosecuted. This, I believe, sends a message to criminal actors to stay away from Hanover County. Our crime rate when compared to Richmond, Henrico and Chesterfield prove Trip’s philosophy is most effective. Trip has served with honor and dedication. The support he received from Col. V. Stuart Cook, former sheriff, and our current sheriff, Col. David R. Hines, clearly reveals their appreciation for his office’s fine work and the cooperation between the two offices. The strong bond that Trip and Dave Hines share, both as friends and respected office leaders, has resulted in more felony prosecutions than with prior prosecutors.
Suspect used victim’s information without permission on Mechanicsville Turnpike. Unknown suspect obtained money fraudulently on Dress Blue Circle. Suspect was found in possession of a controlled substance on Meadowbridge Road.
Personally, I have heard Sheriff Hines publicly state that, “In his 30 years of law enforcement, Trip’s office is the finest commonwealth’s attorney’s office he has ever worked with and Trip is the best commonwealth’s attorney.” I ask my fellow citizens to join me and vote for Trip Chalkley in the June 9 Republican Primary. It is a vote for effective law enforcement and public safety in Hanover. Hanover County deserves excellence and Trip Chalkley. Paul “Opie” Heizer Ashland
Disputing recent letter John Dixon’s recent letter published in the May 27, 2015, edition is factually wrong. Mr. Chalkley’s actual statement was he “rarely has an entire docket in court” because he has other responsibilities to perform. For example, requests come from on-site investigations that must be answered immediately including search warrants to be reviewed. Trip Chalkley is available to our law enforcement 24 hours a day. Trip Chalkley did not take office until Jan. 1, 2008. To blame him for the numerous departures in 2007 is misleading and disingenuous. Mr. Chalkley’s chief deputy is regularly in court and has achieved remarkable

results, including the recent murder conviction in an 11year-old cold case. 99 percent of Hanoverians gave law enforcement in Hanover County a rating of “Excellent,” making it obvious that Trip Chalkley and his office are most efficient and effective working with law enforcement. If any part of Dixon’s fabrications were correct, Sheriff David R. Hines and former Sheriff V. Stuart Cook would not have endorsed Trip Chalkley. Dixon’s claim that Trip allows others to trash Vaughn is another untruth. As an informed voter, all one has to do is go to the Virginia State Bar website to research candidate Vaughn and see where he has been publicly reprimanded on five separate cases for failure to demonstrate competence, diligence and safeguarding clients’ property. This alone makes Vaughn unqualified to be Commonwealth’s Attorney. Mr. Dixon’s candidate was removed as Commonwealth’s Attorney by 75 percent of the Hanover voters in 1999. Hanover County cannot afford to have Vaughn in office again so we all need to remember the past. Integrity matters and that is what Trip Chalkley gives us. Vote for Trip Chalkley on June 9. Mark K.

Tensions rise at VDOT meeting In February 2007, VDOT held an initial public hearing meeting for the current project, providing the opportunity for locals to voice their opinions, offer up suggestions, and have a hand in shaping the direction of the construction. However, the majority of those that attended the informational meeting last week were not pleased with, what they felt, are some of the potential effects of the project. One of the main concerns is an area of Bell Creek Road near Walmart and the impact on traffic that will result from neighborhood development taking place in that location. “Allthesefolksareconcerned about the pinch point.

Grant provides kickoff funding for home Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE — Capital One has awarded Hanover Habitat for Humanity a $15,000 grant dedicated to home construction in Mechanicsville. A family has already been identified for this home and they are currently working on their 300 sweat equity hours. Groundbreaking will take place once the majority of the $150,000 funding has been secured. Capital One’s gift provides a solid platform for Hanover Habitat to raise the additional funding from other community stakeholders. The Mechanicsville build will become a home to a family of four with strong ties to Hanover County. They currently live in a neighborhood, just outside of the county line, that has declined dramatically in recent years, providing an unsafe environment in which to raise their two teenage boys. The Nelsons belong to Mechanicsville Recreational Center and he worked for
a Hanover homebuilder for 16 years till the business closed. He now works for Cantwell-Cleary Company. She works at Kersey Creek Elementary School in Mechanicsville. Their two children are typical teenagers who love to hike, camp, ride their bikes and skateboard. The boys are excited about having their own bedrooms. Hanover Habitat executive director Tim Bowring said the organization is “pleased and honored to have a longstanding partnership with Capital One.” In addition to providing financial assistance, Capital One’s associates also assist on Hanover Habitat’s build sites. In 2014, 382 Capital One associates volunteered 2,674 hours of service hours, working 30 days between June and October. The value of service to Hanover Habitat equaled $57,143. Associates spent almost all their time exclusively in the Bailey Woods community, off Ashcake Road, and they continue their volunteerism commitment in 2015 at the build sites. Most recently, at least 70 Capital One associates helped
move Hanover Habitat’s ReStore into Atlee Square Shopping Center. About Hanover Habitat for Humanity Hanover Habitat for Humanity was formed 25 years ago by a committed group of Hanover citizens who wanted to provide safe and affordable housing in Hanover County. Since that time, Hanover Habitat has built homes for 54 families and is in the process of completing the Bailey Woods neighborhood. To learn more about the organization visit www.hanoverhfh.org. Hanover Habitat for Humanity is an Equal Opportunity Housing Agency, and an Equal Opportunity, Affirmative Action Employer.

Mr. Chalkey’s staff has a
solid conviction rate in their support of the work of Col. David R. Hines, sheriff, and our fine deputies in Hanover. Mr. Chalkely’s support from his four former attorneys speaks louder than words. I also support Mr. Chalkley for his frank reports to our Hanover County Board of Supervisors during the recent budget crises. When his staff was in need
of salary adjustments to keep them in Hanover County, Mr. Chalkey shared this with the board and asked for the power to reallocate his salary funds to keep his best staff here in Hanover. He did not ask for a tax increase, but still did what he could to run an effective office. I also support Mr. Chalkley for his character.
I had the privilege of coaching his son Reese in golf at Hanover. Trip and his wonderful wife Stephanie did everything they could to support Reese and our program. Stephanie, in particular, was a fantastic team mom and aided me with organizational responsibilities so I could focus on the progress of the student-athletes on the course and in the classroom.
In a day and age where the supportive team sport parent is becoming an endangered species, the Chalkleys supported our team well and set the tone for my current group of supportive parents. Vote for Trip Chalkley on June 9 and again in November. Chris Pace Mechanicsville

The Hanover County Pound, located at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland, has two wonderful pets available to a good home. Shade, 400308, is a 5-year-old male canine shepherd retriever. He has had his first set of vaccines and is Heartworm test positive. Shade is a very playful and loving day. He has a great personality around people.

The cart was built and donated by Alex Carpenter, a Chickahominy Middle School student, as part of his Eagle Scout project. On Wednesday, April 15, St. Mary’s Hospital debuted the cart at its National Volunteer Week Reception. Many families whose children are undergoing surgery or other procedures wait for hours without being able to leave the hospital.

The Life and Times of Mrs. Eliza Poe Elizabeth Arnold Poe, the birth mother of Edgar Allan Poe, experienced triumphs and sorrows. Called “a brilliant gem in the theatric crown,” Mrs. Poe was a talented and highlypraised actress before her death in Richmond in 1811 at the age of 24. She left three talented children and the unfulfilled promise of a brilliant theatrical career. Hear her tragically-short life story and enjoy original monologues and songs from her vast repertoire. Performance on June 13. Edgar Allan Poe – Richmond and Beyond Though born in Boston, this author, poet, literary critic and editor liked to tell people that he was a Virginian. He was the son of two actors, whom both passed away when he was only 3 years old. Poe attended both the University of Virginia and West Point. He lived in several cities, but would never make a lot of money. He spent the last months of his life lecturing on the poetic principal and reciting his work. His life ended unexpectedly while traveling from Richmond to New York, as he was going to collect his belongings to move to Richmond. In the middle of his trip he disappeared for almost a week. He was found in Baltimore shortly before his mysterious death. Performance on June 20. No performance on June 27
Francis Scott Key – Beyond the Star Spangled Banner Key was a lawyer before the start of the War of 1812. During the British attack on Washington during the war, Key’s friend, Dr. William Beanes, was captured and imprisoned aboard the HMS Tonnant. Key embarked on a mission to meet the British fleet at the mouth of the Potomac for a prisoner exchange. The Admiral in charge refused to release Beanes until after an assault on Ft. McHenry. Sixteen British warships then bombed the Fort for the next 25 hours. Early the next morning, when the battle had ceased, Key saw the American flag still flying above the Fort, inspiring Key to compose a poem to honor the fallen. Key’s poem was soon thereafter published as “The Defense of Fort McHenry.” The verse was later set to the tune of a popular song, “To Anacreon in Heaven,” and is known today as The Star-Spangled Banner, our National Anthem. Performance on July 4. Bonus: A Reading of the Declaration of Independence. The Parsons’ Cause – Prelude to Revolution On Dec. 1, 1763, a country lawyer from Hanover stepped from obscurity into the forefront of legal and political circles in Virginia. His name was Patrick Henry. The event that shaped his destiny was the trial of The Parsons’ Cause. Henry challenged the two most potent entities of colonial Virginia, the King and the clergy. The case proved to be one of the opening salvos of the revolution, and started Henry on the path of becoming the “Voice of the Revolution.” Performances on July 11 and Aug. 29. The Jamestown Settlement, with author Connie LaPallo Based on her first novel, Dark Enough to See the Stars in a Jamestown Sky, Connie tells
the story of the nearly 100 women and children who sailed for Jamestown in 1609. Why did so many women and children come? What was life like on ship for months at a time? These settlers first encountered a hurricane at sea and then were thrust into Jamestown’s Starving Time and siege. Connie’s historically accurate and dynamic presentation will leave you marveling at the resilience of the human spirit. Presentation on July 18. Capt. Gabriel Archer – Archer’s Hope Walk in the footsteps of Capt. Gabriel Archer, one of the first Jamestown, Virginia, settlers. Listen to Archer’s riveting account of the “hurricano” at sea when the colonists sailed to Virginia’s shores. Learn about the dress, food, character and customs of the natives whom the colonists met when they arrived at Jamestown. Grieve with Archer as he describes the devastating “Starving Time” that brought his death and the deaths of most of the colonists. Performance on July 25. Benjamin F. Stringfellow – “The Most Dangerous Man in the Confederacy” “Frank” Stringfellow, who weighed 100 pounds soaking wet, was turned down in his first four attempts to join the Confederate army. Frank later convinced an officer to let him enlist. Thereafter, he became a “scout” and developed the second biggest spy ring in the South. Hear Frank tell of his adventures, including posing as a dentist, a woman and a merchant in order to escape from the enemy. Performance on Aug. 1. Capt. Sally Tompkins – Nursing the Confederacy “Capt. Sally” was the first woman in American history to receive commission as a military officer, and ran the most efficient hospital in Richmond during the Civil War. This interactive program will discuss Sally’s life, as well as medi-
cal practices and experiences in her hospital and others in Richmond during the Civil War. Performance on Aug. 8. Col. John Chiswell – Scotchtown and Murder? Col. John Chiswell, the man who built Scotchtown in Hanover County, was charged with murder in 1766. Witnesses claimed that Chiswell and Robert Routledge, a merchant, argued in a tavern in Cumberland County and that the argument culminated in an intoxicated Chiswell running through Routledge with his sword. Chiswell claimed Routledge’s death was an accident. Chiswell was arrested and transferred to Williamsburg, where he was released on bond. Chiswell was besieged by the populace, who believed a rich and arrogant man was about to get away with murder. Before the case could come to trial, however, Chiswell died under mysterious circumstances. Did Chiswell die from suicide, or something else? Performance on Aug. 15. Lt. George Finley – Pickett’s Charge March with Lt. George W. Finley and his men into the mouths of the Union guns at Gettysburg. Finley was a native Virginian who was one of a handful of Southerners who got over the stone wall at Cemetery Ridge. He was captured and spent the next two years in federal prison camps. He vowed that he would become a minister if he survived the war. He eventually returned home and became pastor of a Presbyterian church in Fishersville, Virginia. Pickett’s Charge was the most dramatic event in the most dramatic battle of the most dramatic war in American history. Finley’s story captures all the drama and illustrates principles of leadership, courage and character. Performance on Aug. 22.

proposal in 2007. Crouch said, “It took us this long to get through all the right–of-way negotiations; it took us about two to two and a half years just do to that. We had to talk to all the property owners and give them due process, and then it took about a year, year and a half for the utilities, and, really, as our construction trucks were rolling up [to the project area], our utility companies were moving out.” Project construction and cost The VDOT project is being constructed in three phases. Phase one, which is scheduled to take place from this spring to fall 2016, will add westbound and eastbound lanes to U.S. 360, add a two-lane on-

ramp for I-295 and relocate Bell Creek Road to the east. Phase two, taking place from fall 2016 to spring 2017, will place a median on U.S. 360 as well as construct a service lane off Bell Creek Road to provide access to businesses along 360. Phase three, taking place from spring 2017 to summer 2017, will install guardrails and apply permanent pavement markers. The total cost of the project — $22,188,000 — is broken down into three categories: Preliminary Engineering and Design ($3 million), Right-of-Way Acquisition and Relocation of Utilities ($7.1 million) and Construction ($12.1 million). The preliminary engineering and design portion, as well as the right-of-way acquisition and relocation of utilities portion of the project, is already
completed. To ensure that traffic continues to flow throughout the duration of the project, VDOT plans to conduct road paving and line striping during the evening and nighttime hours. “The reason that it’s scheduled for nighttime so that traffic during its heaviest time is not affected or is affected to the smallest amount possible,” construction manager Rich Kent said. “As far as the relocation section, most of that will be built during the daytime and the line striping during that area will generally be done in the day time. But 360 will involve night paving, night line striping.” VDOT is currently doing some of the drainage work at the I-295 ramp and installing copper pipe in that area. Crews will be working from that point east as the project progresses.

ing of all of the names on the wall behind him. “We gather here today on very hallowed ground,” Peterson said. “Today, we honor those who have given their all.”
Peterson, a U.S. Army veteran, led a Calvary Platoon in Vietnam and said Memorial Day is a tribute to those who served — and died — for their country. “Today is not about us, the ones who were fortunate enough to come home,” Peterson said. “It’s about those
who left their lives on battlefields all around this world. It’s about those names that are written on this wall.” American Legion Post 175 escorted the flag, and Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts presented flowers at the memorial. VFW Post 9808 presented
arms and fired the rifle salute to those who have fallen. Sean Davis, a former Marine and Henry District representatives on the board of supervisors, said it’s the families of those fallen heroes that preoccupy his mind on a day like Memorial Day. “I thought this was a great
tribute to the fallen soldiers and the Gold Star families. Gold Star families are the families that have a family member who didn’t come home,” Davis said. “We thank them and we thank their families.” This year’s attendance continues a pattern of increased participation at the annual
event. “We have an active group of vVeterans in this county, and they really support these events,” said Kelly-Wiecek. Greg Sager, director of Hanover Parks and Recreation, said the event would not be possible without the support see FALLEN, pg. 30

yearbook staff. The eighth graders returning this year got a taste of success after being awarded the 2014 Jostens National Yearbook Program of Excellence award last year, so the editors set a goal of not only meeting the qualifications for Excellence again this year, but they wanted to exceed the qualifications. The team exceeded their original coverage goal which stated that 55 percent of students would
be included in the 96 page yearbook at least three times each; and were able to achieve an inclusion of 63 percent of students in the yearbook at least three times each. To achieve this, the team had to get very creative in design and be sure to include staff photography from all events, as well as parent and student photography on the Jostens website ReplayIt. This yearbook staff is a talented and compassion-
ate team dedicated to creating a book that the school and community would be proud to be a part of,” Miller, yearbook adviser, said. Jostens’ National Yearbook Program of Excellence Awards are presented twice a year, in spring and in fall for yearbooks delivered during the school year. The award was presented to the Oak Knoll Middle School yearbook program for achieving the defined criteria
in each of three following categories: creating an inclusive yearbook, generating school engagement, and successfully managing the yearbook creation process. “Yearbooks connect students’ hearts and minds to the school story, school year experiences, and the community to memorialize moments that matter. Jostens is proud to
The fun will continue with games and concessions. All students will be provided two tickets for the concessions (cotton candy, popcorn and snow cones), the dunk tank, the fun photo booth, and
the bungee run. They also will have the opportunity to purchase additional tickets in the cafeteria during the first week of June. There will be several stations that don’t require tickets. The afternoon will allow the students to pursue the games and activities that most
interest them. Organizers are still seeking parent volunteers to help chaperone the games. Those interested are urged to contact Jessica Lyszyk at jlyszyk@ hcps.us. The evening concludes with the 8th Grade Dance. There are no tickets, but
only OKMS 8th graders may attend. The dance takes place from 7 to 9 p.m. It is customary to dress up for this special occasion. Ladies wear dresses or dress pants (no midriffs showing and no completely backless dresses; spaghetti straps and strapless
dresses are permitted). Gentlemen usually wear dress pants and a nice shirt. Parent volunteers are still being accepted to participate in planning, chaperoning, and cleaning up after the dance. Those interested are asked to contact Jessica Lyszyk at jlyszyk@hcps.us.

By Brad Bess Richmond Times-Dispatch RICHMOND -- It took 10 innings spanning two days, but when it was over, the Lee-Davis softball team was crowned champions. Heather Childress laid down a game-winning bunt to give the Confederates a 2-1 victory over Atlee on Friday in the Conference 11 title game at Mills Godwin. The game started Thursday but was suspended in the bottom of the first. It was scheduled to begin at 5 p.m. Friday, but weather prevented a punctual start and the first pitch was thrown at 7:30. When the game finally got going, it took three extra innings to get a winner. The teams began following international tiebreaker rules in the ninth, but both teams went scoreless. Ella Alvis began the bottom of the 10th on second base. A sacrifice bunt from Sydney Guess advanced her to third before Childress’ game-winner scooted past the Atlee defense. “I was just thinking about getting the ball in play,” Childress said. “I wasn’t really thinking too much, just trying to get it in play.” She says the pitch was right down the middle, right where she wanted it. “It was like the best feeling of

the regular season, but she told her squad Friday’s game was about pride. “I just want you to go out there and give it everything you have and know when you left the field, that you’ve left everything you had there,” Davis told her team. “And they did.”
Davis said Lee-Davis starter Kylie Stonebraker limited the Raiders to two hits — a home run and an infield single — and struck out 21 in a complete game. Alvis put the first runs on the board in the bottom of the third with a solo home run off Atlee starting pitcher Laura Kate Moss. Moss hit the next batter and was replaced by Peyton St. George, who finished the game.

Because of weather delays – thunder and lightning on Thursday and a drenching rain just before game time Friday – the conference championship game was never played.

Lee-Davis falls to Freeman in extra innings By Billy Fellin Richmond Times-Dispatch RICHMOND — Tyler Murdaugh entered the game as a courtesy runner for Douglas Freeman catcher Logan Harvey in the bottom of the ninth inning, the game tied and a trip to the conference final and the region playoffs on the line. Wednesday was already a special day for Murdaugh. It was his 18th birthday. Late into the night, he could add “gamewinning run” to the significance of May 27. Murdaugh scored the winning run to lift Douglas Freeman (17-4) over Lee-Davis 2-1 in nine innings on Wednesday night at Mills Godwin in the Conference 11 semifinal. “It’s the best day ever,” said
Murdaugh. With two outs, Vincent Steenburgh came to the plate with Murdaugh on second. Travis Stackow, at first, had been intentionally walked. Steenburgh hit a ground ball to the Confederates’ second baseman, Austin Morris, who tried to take a short-play force out at second. But shortstop Adam Trice wasn’t in position at the bag to catch Morris’ toss, and the ball went into left field. Murdaugh rounded third and scored the winning run. “(I thought) I’m just going to run as fast as I can,” he said. “(When the ball was bobbled) I pretty much knew we won the game.” It was the second bit of heroics as a result of Steenburgh’s bat on Wednesday.

A walk and an RBI triple made it 3-0 Godwin, and Ayer was soon out the door. Reliever Henry Moore struggled, too, giving up a two-run double to Godwin’s Tyler Dugan. By the end of the fifth, Godwin led 6-0. Godwin moved to 12-9 with the win. Since starting the year 3-7, the Eagles won nine of their next 11. “The first 10 games, we didn’t look good,” Godwin coach John Fletcher said. “It’s been a tale of two halves.” Godwin starting pitcher Henry Peery had perhaps his best game of the season, going 5.2 innings, allowing one unearned run on three hits. “Everything worked,” Peery said of his pitches. “I was changing speeds really well. I let my defense play behind me.”
Lewis was sanguine about the defeat. “Unless you win a state championship, it never ends the way you want it to end,” Lewis said. “We fought.

King William makes return trip to region playoffs Huffman was tough on the Cavaliers’ conference rival, Maggie Walker Governor’s School, in the tournament semifinal Wednesday. She pitched a five inning no-hitter, striking out 12 Green Dragon batters, in a 10-0 victory at King William. “They’ve got a great pitcher,” said Maggie Walker head coach Randy Darnell. “She’s fast. She hits the spots. She’s smart. She mixes up the pitches – and the rest of the team supports her.” First baseman Becca Kelley was one of Huffman’s chief supporters Wednesday, hitting a two out, two run home run over
By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor CENTRAL GARAGE – The Cavaliers have been on the verge of a state championship two straight years. This is the year they hope they finally get it. They inched closer to accomplishing that mission completing the first segment of the 2015 postseason campaign, winning the Conference 33 championship with a 3-0 victory over visiting Nandua. King William began the Region 2A East tournament by hosting Bluestone, the Conference 34 runner-up Bluestone Monday – after this edition went to press. Pitcher Kayla Huffman led the Cavaliers (19-0) defensively and offensively in the Conference 33 championship, holding Nandua to just two hits and two walks while striking out 11 Warrior batters. She had two hits of her own knocked in a run and scoring one of her own. The senior said she is feeling a bit of pressure from their past two state championship campaigns – but only a bit. “I feel pretty relaxed this year,” Huffman said. “Something about this team gives me a good feeling … chemistry, talent, just everything.” Nandua did not make it easy for the Cavaliers to claim

the conference championship, however. The Warriors held King William scoreless for the first three innings. All of the Cavaliers’ runs came in a burst with two outs in the fourth inning. Huffman singled in catcher Megan Jenkins, who reached first after being hit by a pitch. Second baseman Brittney Branch singled in Huffman, and Shannon Hott drove in Branch with another single.
“Everybody rallied around the two outs,” said King William co-coach Kay Gammon. “I’ve very happy with that. … It just shows you our mental toughness and working hard.

Instead, this refers to Tuesday night, when Hanover erupted for 11 runs in the fourth inning to claim an 11-1 victory over Monacan in the conference semifinals.

second-seeded Hawks and topseeded Glen Allen was never played. Instead, the Jaguars claimed home-field advantage for the Region 4A South tournament by virtue of their seeding at the start of the conference tournament. “Our motto this time of year is, ‘Still playing,’ ” said Hanover head coach Charlie Dragum. “You get the win and you move on. It was a real close game for long time. Monacan’s well coached and played great. Their kid threw real good, but we eventually got on him and had that big inning.” Brady Didlake led the Hawks with two hits, and Camden Grimes hit a double.
Monacan head coach Gerry Mann said a tight strike zone made it a challenge for pitchers to stay on target throughout the game. “He’s thrown well all year long,” Mann said of his starting pitcher. “The zone was a little tight for him and the way he pitches, and he had to make some pitches and get the ball up a little bit and [the Hawks will] hit it. They’ll swing. They’re not looking.” Billy Fellin can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.

Cavs earn berth in Region 2A East tournament By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor RICHMOND – King William stumbled in the Conference 33 baseball tournament final game against Maggie Walker Governor’s School at J.R. Tucker High School Friday night, but the important thing is that the Cavaliers were there to stumble. By earning the right to play for the conference title Friday, they also earned the right to continue playing another week in the Region 2A East tournament. King William began its regional campaign Monday at Conference 34 champion Goochland. The Cavaliers fell to the Green Dragons 9-4 in the final Friday, but clinched their berth in the region tournament with a wild 9-8 victory at Windsor Wednesday. Trailing 8-5 going into the final inning, they scored four runs in the top of the seventh and held the Dukes

scoreless in the bottom of the inning for the win. “It was a good win,” said head baseball coach Jay Blanton. “It didn’t look very good there for a while, but our kids stuck with it and didn’t give up.” The game was a see-saw effort with leads switching repeatedly throughout the game.
Their final rally began with one out when Storm Coleman hit a sharp shot up the middle for an infield single. With two men on, Lucas Dobbins put it over the fence to tie the game with a three-run home run. R.C. Sutton doubled, advanced on a groundout and scored on a passed ball.
“It was a little crazy,” Blanton said. Sutton finished with two hits – both doubles – and three RBI. Dylan Leach hit a two-run home run and Ryan Huffman also had a solo home run. The Cavaliers held their own against the top-seeded Green Dragons for most of
their conference championship game, but a five-run third inning – driven largely by Maggie Walker’s penchant for driving the ball through holes between King William fielders coupled with a handful of Cavalier errors – put King William in a hole it could not climb out of. “Their guys did a good job,” Blanton said. “I thought our pitchers did a pretty good job today. We started Ryan Huffman, a freshman, who’s a freshman. That was his second start of the year. I thought he did a pretty good job. We just had one inning – the third – where we kind of kicked it around a little bit and gave up a few unearned runs there.” The Cavaliers kept fighting back, and Dobbins struck again with a two-run home run in the seventh, but it was not enough to overtake the Green Dragons.

Weather gets save on Atlee lacrosse victory By Chip Knighton For The Mechanicsville Local RICHMOND — A championship game that appeared as if might have turned on the width of a stick head was instead decided via a radar app and a venue policy. Douglas Freeman had taken advantage of a non-releasable Atlee penalty to score two extra-man goals and cut its deficit from five goals to two with 5:45 remaining when a clap of thunder came from the north. Conversations during the mandatory 30-minute delay revealed the lights at River City Sportsplex were scheduled to be turned off at 8:45 p.m., a

deadline that was quickly approaching. Any hope the Rebels players were maintaining evaporated with another burst of thunder and lightning. Freeman athletics director Suzanne Criswell, supervising the event, made the reluctant decision after conferring with her fellow South/East Group ADs — the game was over, and the Raiders, leading 10-8 when the thunder sounded, were the Conference 11 boys lacrosse champions. “The kids’ safety and the safety of everybody here is the most important aspect of what we’re looking for,” said Criswell. “We were 80 percent through the game, we couldn’t get this location again tomorrow and

we do have a time limitation as far as what we are contracted for. I was in contact with all the other ADs, we discussed it, and this is what we felt was best to do.” The Raiders (14-1) scored the game’s first six goals and led 10-5 after a slow third quarter before the stick drama began to unfold. The referees ruled Atlee attackman Connor Saul’s stick wouldn’t release the ball properly, giving the Rebels (14-2) a three-minute man advantage. They capitalized almost immediately, with Evan Tyler scoring off an Evan Wells assist 32 seconds into the penalty, and John Woolley finishing a Ford Hendrix feed a minute later for the first of his game-high
four goals. He added another — this one unassisted against a fullstrength defense — to cut the Atlee lead to two goals before the thunder brought the proceedings to an early end. “We got down, they came out hot and got up 6-nothing on us,” said Freeman coach Jimmy Hovis. “But our guys stayed composed, really fought back and put ourselves in a position to possibly make a run at it there at the end. It’s unfortunate, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.” Atlee built its lead in a dominant first quarter, with Booth Watson scoring two of his three goals, and Jack Cook adding another in the first three min-
utes of the game. Saul, who also had a hat trick, and Dylan Rice added goals off rebounds as the Raiders led 5-0 after the first quarter. “We knew that if we had some chances early, we were going to have to bang some goals in,” said Atlee coach Fielding Crawford. “Their depth is their strength, and we do get fatigued as the game goes on. We had to take advantage early, and our guys did a great job of that.” Both teams advance to next week’s region playoffs. Atlee will host its first-round game. Freeman will hit the road.

Hanover girls advance By Danny Polk For The Mechanicsville MIDLOTHIAN – The Hanover girls’ tennis team wasted no time clinching the program’s first-ever state tournament bid, ousting Nansemond River in a Group 4A South quarterfinal and Grafton in a semifinal before either match reached doubles play, winning 5-0 and 5-1, respectively. The wins extend postseason play, which the Hawks haven’t had much of in years past.In 2013, Hanover lost to Deep Run in the first round of the Central Region tournament, and failed to reach regional play last season. “All the girls are really excited,” said head coach Lindsey Wyeth. “They haven’t really had much postseason experience, so it’s good to get that under their belt.” Conference 20 foe Midlothian asserted its depth, however, with a 5-0 victory over the Hawks in the regional title match, but the runner-up finish sets up a state semifinal match against Group 4A North champion Dominion next week. “We’ve done some research, but we are going into the match with see ADVANCE, pg. 40
Atlee, Lee-Davis do it again in region track By Dylan Garner Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE — With head track and field coach Jim Triemplar recovering from a heart condition, assistant coach Nick Robinson and the rest of the staff were tasked with leading the Atlee Raiders’ postseason run. With Triemplar looking on, Richardson and the Raiders girls succeeded in their penultimate meet of the season, taking the 5A South championship at their home stadium on Saturday. Mechanicsville teams LeeDavis and Atlee made the most of their time in their home territory as the Confederates claimed the boys title. Both schools won region titles for the second season in a row. Each team was well-separated from the pack as the final events approached. Lee-Davis finished with 93 points, 34 points ahead of second-place Hermitage, and Atlee finished with 89 points, 28 points ahead of runner-up Maury. The Raiders were led by senior mainstays India Lowe and Carly Feyerabend. Lowe, who was named the region girls runner of the year, continued her dominance of both hurdles events. She won the 100-meter hurdles in 14.45 and the 300meter hurdles — an event she hasn’t lost since her sophomore year — in 44.15. Feyerabend battled in the long jump with Bria Smith of Maury, having to go to a jump-off after 5 feet, 6 inches. The Atlee senior eventually prevailed for her second consecutive region title. She also finished second behind Lowe in the 100-meter hurdles. “They are really consistent performers, and I think that’s a tribute to their mental toughness as athletes and their

athletic ability,” Robinson said. “It’s fantastic going into a meet knowing, even on a bad day, they’re going to do well enough to score in an event.” A school record in the 4x800-meter relay, anchored by senior Chloe Bavin, and a victory in the 3,200-meter run by Caitlin Donovan allowed the Raiders to seize control of the championship during the twoday event. “Just being able to do it on that field made it all the more fun,” Feyerabend said. “It just felt like we were at home.” Triemplar was able to watch his team’s entire performance
from the field, and athletes and coaches were cheerful with his presence. They and Robinson credited Triemplar, in his 38th year with Atlee, for his belief in his athletes and his ability to make the team what it is today. “He laid the foundation for all this. He’s the guy who never cuts anybody and makes sure we have good numbers all the time,” Robinson said. “And through those good numbers, we are able to find some elite athletes and some not-so-elite athletes that work hard and become elite athletes.” Lee-Davis coach Neil Mathews said his boys team
looked a little nervous during its Conference 11 championship a week ago. The Confederates apparently came out this time with their nervousness shaken off. What were just high-scoring performances last week turned into winning ones this week. DJ Petty, the team’s leading scorer at the conference meet, took the top spot in the 110-meter hurdles after not winning an event last week. Connor Scott, the team’s throw specialist, was locked in a tight matchup with Atlee’s Austin Cannon in the discus again. Cannon, who was named
the region boys field athlete of the year, won last weekend’s competition by just 5 inches over the Lee-Davis sophomore. Scott returned the favor, taking the 5A South title by 3 inches, with a throw of 163 feet. Senior Blake Stattelman added a championship in the long jump to round out the trophies staying in Mechanicsville. “We had a few more people that stepped up and did the job,” said Mathews, who was named the region boys coach of the year. With his team improving steadily in the postseason, Mathews doesn’t plan to change much heading into the state meet.
“You kind of stay out of their way a little bit,” he said. “All the training’s been done. The only thing you can do now is mess it up, so we’re trying to avoid messing it up.” Matthew Novak of Deep Run was named the region boys runner of the year after winning the 800 and 3,200, and LaChyna Roe of Henrico was named the region girls field athlete of the year with an all-around performance that included a title in the triple jump. The 5A state championships begin at Todd Stadium in Newport News on Friday, with competition wrapping up on

Hawks soccer teams earn berths in regionals the Trojans. After the game Hanover coach John Andruss said the Hawks had to emphasize offense once Midlothian took the lead. “We could have done some things differently, but you know we were down one-nothing and you never know what was going to go with the weather, so we put three up top and tried to score some goals,” Andruss said. “They’re just a good team. They definitely are the best team in the conference.” Andruss said he felt confident with the Hawks going into regionals because of how they have improved over the course of the season. “I think just like every team the girls are gelling,” Andruss said. “[We are] figuring out the right spot to put the girls in where they’re going to help the team the most and where they are going to be most successful individually.” Hanover traveled to Nansemond River in the first round of the Region 4A South tournament Monday. On the boys’ side, Hanover’s David Dustin headed in a corner kick for the No. 1 Hawks as
they defeated Midlothian 1-0 Friday at Hanover High School for the Conference 20 championship. Hawks goalkeeper Adam Farnsworth had eight saves. Hanover hosted Denbigh in the Region 4A South quarterfinal Monday.

High School – an improvement over last year. “I think we did pretty well this year,” said Hanover head coach Jeremy Osborn. “Ninety percent of our team are freshmen and sophomores, so we’ve got a very, very young team. … They were really looking at it first of all as an opportunity to grow for next year, but they obviously all tried to make the state tournament.” The Hawks’ best performers were Jimmy Taylor, who finished second in the boys shot put and seventh in the discus, and Carter Unger, who finished second in the boys pole vault.
By Kris Mason For The Mechanicsville Local GLEN ALLEN – The thirdseeded Hanover girls soccer team fell to No. 1 Midlothian 4-0 Friday in a match continued from a rain-delayed opening at Glen Allen High School Thursday. While the Trojans captured the Conference 20 championship with the win, both teams advanced to the regional playoffs which began Monday. The game was stopped after repeated thunder and lightning delays in the 22nd minute of the first half Thursday with Midlothian ahead 1-0 from a Madison Myer goal scored just before the final stoppage. The score remained unchanged for the remainder of the first half when play resumed Friday. However, the floodgates opened for Midlothian in the second half in which the Trojans scored three goals. Jessica Scruggs scored a breakaway goal three minutes into the second half to give Midlothian a 2-0 lead. Caroline Averette scored a pair of goals in the 78th minute to clinch the victory for

Dominion blind, which for us is a good thing,” Wyeth said. If the Hanover girls can get through Dominion, it would likely mean a fourth meeting with Midlothian, the defending state champions. “Midlothian is solid one through six,” Wyeth said. “They really don’t have a weak link, but we told the team that it doesn’t matter how many times we lost to Midlothian, the last
in the final 17 minutes to end the Confederates’ season with a 2-0 victory. Sukrija Dudic broke the stalemate with the first Hermitage goal in the 62nd minute. Mouctar Bah added an insurance goal soon after. The Confederate defense kept up with the Panther attack for most of the game, but it seemed outnumbered in front of the goal at the end. “I think we were slow to mark up towards the end there,” said Lee-Davis head coach Bob Hummer. “We played a good
match, but we still had some breakdowns and it cost us.” Hermitage head coach Stephen Reynolds said the first goal came off a rebound of a save by Lee-Davis keeper Cole Huber. “It was a little bit of luck,” Reynolds said. “I think every soccer game has a little bit of luck in it. But it’s definitely determination, too.” No. 6 Douglas Freeman defeated No. 3 Atlee 5-3 in the other Conference 11 boys semifinal. The Rebels were paced by two goals apiece from James
Jervey and Michael Shaffer.
one is the one that counts.” On the boys’ side, the Hawks came up one match short of returning to the state tournament. Hanover cruised to a 5-0 quarterfinal win over Nansemond River, but was defeated 5-1 by Jamestown, the eventual region runner-up, in the semifinal. Turner Cole ended his solid freshman campaign at No. 2 with the Hawks’ lone win. Hanover returned just two starters from last year’s state semifinal run.
“I was impressed with how all of our players responded to the challenge of starting a season with so much change,” said head coach Bill Wheaton. “Every guy had to assume ten times the responsibility they did last year, and I was incredibly impressed with how they did.” Hanover’s No. 1 Zach Palmer began individual regional play on Monday. Palmer is on the same side of the bracket as Jamestown’s Grayson DeBerry, who defeated Palmer 7-6(7), 76(2) in the team semifinal.
“I’m looking forward to watching Zach continue to respond to the challenges he’s faced all year. Going from playing No. 4 last year to No.1 this season, we knew it would be difficult, but he has tackled that challenge,” Wheaton said. “I look forward to seeing him compete and hopefully enter the state tournament, which would be a fantastic achievement for Hanover – three individual entrants in two years.” Danny Polk can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.
Jonathan Glore finished sixth in the pole vault. Jeremy Davis and Nathaniel Good finished seventh in the triple jump and 3,200-meter run, respectively. In the girls competition, Madi Harris finished fourth in the pole vault. Leila Haynesworth finished fifth and sixth in the triple jump and long jump, respectively.
Their Conference 33 rival Maggie Walker Governors School swept the boys and girls team championships at the regional meet, but King William head coach Malcolm Tupponce was pleased with his team’s performance. “The girls team did about what we expected,” Tupponce said. “They were loaded with seniors, and they’re producing. Twelve of the Cavaliers’ girls team members have qualified for the state tournament, which will be held Friday at Radford University. All three relay teams – the 400-meter (which was disquali-
fied in the region meet but had already qualified for the state meet), 1,600-meter and 3,200meter teams – have qualified, as have Shamyra Wilkerson and India Johnson in the 200-meter dash, finishing first and second, respectively in the regional. Johnson and Kaielle Pollard qualified in the 100 dash, and Pollard also qualified in the 100 hurdles. Miranda Moss qualified in the long jump and triple jump.

Conference 11 girls In the girls tournament, the No. 2 Atlee girls team fell to No. 1 Mills Godwin 3-0 in the conference final. Only a half was played before the game was called due to weather.
