Town still split by rail option talks By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

HANOVER — Following a Commonwealth Transportation Board meeting earlier last month, some Ashland residents found themselves stuck between a rock and a hard place regarding where to place a high-speed rail project from Richmond to Washington, D.C. At that meeting, Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley, Beaverdam District representative on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors, told CTB members that county supervisors had passed a resolution stating that

both a third rail above ground alternative and a western bypass were both unacceptable options and should be eliminated. Falling short of an endorsement for the third alternative listed as least objectionable by a Community Advisory Committee formed to study alternative routes and their impacts, Stanley said the third rail trench proposal offers the least impact on county residents. At last Wednesday’s board of supervisors meeting, at least one supervisor made it clear she did not agree with that

Developer pulls the plug on outlet mall project By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

ASHLAND – In the May 27, 2009, edition of The Mechanicsville Local, an article that dominated the 25th anniversary issue focused on the efforts of Holladay Properties’ plans to build a major shopping development at what was being touted as Winding Brook off Interstate 95. Bass Pro Shops had already been

welcomed to Hanover County in the Lakeridge Parkway and Lewistown Road area as plans were being made for the opening of shops, hotels and

a park. On Friday, Sept. 29, developer Craig

Realty Group, based in Newport Beach, California, put a halt to the Outlets at Richmond. The Local attempted to contact Craig Monday morning. On its website, Craig said it “owns, operates and manages nearly 5 million square feet of existing retail development – 15 centers in 9 states, and we’re in development of 4 more projects across the U.S.”

MECHANICSVILLE — National Board Certification is the teaching profession’s mark of accomplished practice. The more than 112,000 teachers who have achieved Board certification demonstrate their ability to teach to profession’s highest standards. Samantha Ratchford, a school counselor at Hanover High School, recently joined 271 of the most accomplished teachers across the United States to help set the National Board performance standards across 25 certificate areas. National Board Certified Teachers (NBCTs) collaborated in groups according to their National Board certificate area/specialty. Each group of NBCTs dedicated one to two intensive days to assist the National Board in setting the performance standard indicating accomplished teaching for part of the content knowledge component for their particular

The founding mission of the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards is to advance the quality of teaching and learning by: (1) maintaining high and rigorous standards for what accomplished teachers should know and be able to do; (2) providing a national voluntary system certifying teachers who meet these standards; and (3) advocating related education reforms to integrate National Board Certification in American education and to capitalize on the expertise of National Board Certified Teachers. Recognized as the “gold standard” in teacher certification, the National Board believes higher standards for teachers means better learning for students.

Alisa said her brother recently graduated magna cum laude from VCU with a double major in Criminal Justice and Homeland Security when he was killed in the early morning hours of June 26, 2014, after losing control of his vehicle on Rockville Road. He was just 22 years old. His goal, she explained,

was to pay off some of his student loans before eventually returning to school to fulfill his childhood dream of becoming a lawyer. “He was such a good guy,” said Pearce, who has helped organize the event for the last four years. It takes a lot of work to pull the event together, she admitted, but added that it is always worth it when they are able to present the annual award in her brother’s honor.

Our goal: provide news you need, want

Health care delays make mockery of country

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor Since Sunday, we’ve been observing National Newspaper Week, which provides an opportunity to remind you (and even us) about what we do and why it is so important throughout our county. We are community newspapers and very proud of the type of news we share with you. What is county government doing? What is the latest on the school district? Who won the big game Friday night? Who is getting married? These are but a few of the unique – and desired — news items with which we fill our pages. Community news is the heart of what makes us special and why we pursue the stories you want to tell us about and, most of all, share them with

your family, friends and neighbors. For this longtime journalist, the rewards are immeasurable; the bylines too many to even think about counting. But, with each and every article, there has been a dedication to what the reader needs to know. Early in my career I was told “You don’t tell people how to think, you give them something to think about.” (The same man said “You can’t beat a man who buys ink by the barrel,” but that’s another story.) My goal has always been to adhere to the standards of integrity, accuracy, fairness and unbiased. Granted, there have been times – especially in election years – when it’s been a real challenge. But the commitment remains firm. With social media, I often want to respond but that’s not what we do. We remain neutral. We are,

in fact, the real news. We depend on you too for your ideas, your support and your guidance as to what you expect of your newspaper. We certainly have a different spin, I suppose, as community newspapers, but I can’t imagine not writing and publishing the types of articles we bring to you. Whatever success we enjoy, it is because of your input and feedback. We celebrate newspapers this week, but I also thank you for your devotion to your community newspaper. There’s nothing more satisfying than hearing someone talk about “My Local.” With every publication that rolls off our presses, we are your Local. That’s why we continue to do what we do.

For some, it’s the most important game of the season. Coaches from across the nation will don special arm patches this weekend to promote a partnership that couples amazing athletes at the top of their game with children with a devastating form of muscular dystrophy called Duchenne. In 2008, the American Football

Coaches Association teamed with the Parents Project for Muscular Dystrophy to raise money and awareness for a disease that cuts short the lives of hundreds of innocent victims each year. During this special weekend, colleges and high schools host families with children who are impacted by the disease, and players interact with kids with MD and learn of the daily struggles that face each of these spe-

Coach to Cure event spotlights the smallest Bulldog By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

cial children. When my son was diagnosed with Duchenne seven years ago, one of the first people who offered his support was Goochland football coach Joe Fowler. He organized and hosted the school’s first Coach to Cure event, and made Jack a part of the Bulldog family … and supplied him with a lifetime of teammates. Over the years, Jack and his teammates have enjoyed their fair share of

successes and also faced some adversity. Memories made with this special group of athletes remain vivid, and, somehow, their victories have become part of Jack’s story of struggle. Throughout those years, Jack has learned a lot from players who understand that life’s victories extend further than the goal line. see BULLDOG, pg. 7

And I’d like to think that the players have learned a real lesson of life by welcoming Jack into their fold. The compassion and kindness they offer Jack indicates that they do. Looking back on the difficult years since Jack’s diagnosis, I could write a book on how my life has changed. Everyday occurrences often taken for granted are now appreciated gifts, and the smallest things in life now often seem like the largest. I’ve learned that blessings often arrive in damaged packages, but the goodness of heart and the strongest of wills cannot be weakened by a muscle debilitating disease. I’ve watched a son who

chooses not to complain or wallow in the many things denied to him ‌ a small boy who struggles to walk

Jim Ridolphi for The Local

When the Goochland High School Bulldogs take the field later this week, the football team will show its support for Coach for a Cure. Funds are raised to help those afflicted with Muscular Dystrophy Duchenne. The Goochland Bulldogs football team have taken Jack Ridolphi “under their wing� for a few years following his diagnosis.

but never fails to inspire. I’ve learned that compassion is a sign of strength, and hope is a noble goal. Jack reminds me numerous times each day that life is precious, and heroes come in different sizes. As we prepare for a special weekend on Friday, Oct. 6, at Goochland High School, my mind wanders back through those years when Jack walked with his teammates to the center of the field for the opening coin toss. This year marks the first time Jack won’t be able to make that walk, but he’ll be there with his teammates as they again make his mission theirs ‌ and run a little faster because one of their teammates cannot. The weekend also reminds me that our family is not in this struggle alone, and people like Joe, his staff and players and the Goochland community have long memories and

kind hearts. Their support and friendship as we navigate these tough waters have provided immeasurable peace of mind and support. You’ll notice that no player wears the number one on their jersey when the Bulldogs take the field for this year’s Coach to Cure game against Buckingham. Since Jack’s diagnosis, that numeral has been reserved for the littlest member of the Bulldog team — a fitting and appropriate designation for someone who is an all star in every aspect. Join us for an evening of football and hope at Goochland on Oct. 6, and thanks to Coach Fowler, his staff and players and the many supporters in Goochland who make this event possible each year. Go, Bulldogs, and here’s to you, Jack. You are my hero.

Fall youth classes starting Hanover Parks and Rec has a new lineup of programs ASHLAND — Fall has arrived, and children are back in school, fall sports and extracurricular activities are in full swing. Hanover Parks and Recreation has a new lineup of youth programs. If you’ve seen the latest edition of the Hanover Review, you’ve already caught a glimpse of the activities being offered. Some classes are starting soon so be sure to register today. Dance classes are a great way for your child to learn a new skill or expend some youthful energy. From Dance ’n’ Tots, Dancing Little Princesses and even a Parent and Me Dance class, your 18-month to 7-year-old will be so excited week after week. If dancing isn’t their forte, but music is, there is a new Music Fun for Fantastic Kids class where children will experience literature, music games and rhythm instruments.

Your creative child will explore their full potential with our art classes. Classes are offered for children as young as preschool age, and as old as 12. Classes are taught by Young Rembrandts, which include Preschool Drawing, Patterns and Pastels, and Mastering the Art of Pastels. If your child is a ball of energy, enroll them in the Stretch ’n’ Grow: All Star Gymnastics. It is described as an ideal class for the active preschooler. AIM Safety Awareness classes offered at Cold Harbor Elementary School have three different program levels. These classes teach selfdiscipline, safety awareness and self-defense. For the full listings of classes for youth, adult and seniors, or to enroll, go to www.hanoverparksrec.com.

tests and how well they prepare students for college. How many schools did Hanover County contribute to the list? Zero. Since the appointed Hanover County School Board hired Michael Gill as superintendent of schools in 2015, we have fallen off the list. Many citizens don’t even realize Hanover County has an appointed school board. They’re shocked when they find out that the officials appropriating $181,000,000 of their tax dollars aren’t held accountable to those that fund the money. Think it doesn’t matter to you because you don’t have kids in the school system? Think again. If you own property or buy goods, you are personally funding thousands of dollars to the school system each year. Between 1918 and 1927, four separate state legislative studies recommended that appointed school boards should be abandoned in favor of elected school boards. A division that elected school board members was so respected nationally that a major film documentary was made crediting the elected school board model for its successes. The few appointed school

boards left in the state are a relic of Virginia’s painful Jim Crow era. In 1956, the Supreme Court ruled that school systems had to integrate and could no longer deny attendance to students based on a child’s race. The Virginia General Assembly swiftly voted to repeal a law allowing elected school boards in Virginia. They wanted to keep blacks from serving on school boards and wished to circumvent the will of elected boards that desired to integrate their school systems. “We were better members of the school board when we were elected,� said Arlington school board members who were first elected and later appointed. A local paper reported that, “Running for election made them do their homework, they all say. They knew about the schools; they met the voters and community groups.� Hanover citizens report that they can’t get call backs, attention, or action with current appointed school board members. This is why local groups of parents and concerned citizens have recently formed action committees to bring awareness to the public, and the appointed school board’s attention. Appointed school board members tend to function as parrots of what is said by poli-

ticians instead of doing what is in the best interest of children. They are fearful to express their own ideas and appear as unqualified sycophants who use the position as a spring board for their own political careers. The confidence of the people in their educational leaders is critical to a high performing school system. Democracy is the governing principle in our country. Hanover helped sow the early seeds of democracy for the rest of the free world. It can be messy and frustrating at times, but there is no doubt that it’s the finest form of government. We hope local authorities are paying attention – and voters, too. Our school system’s future success – and that of our treasured children – depends on it. Randall White Sr. Mechanicsville

No means no for females in all countries As the old saying goes, “What part of no don’t you understand?� Just read where a court in India overturned a rape conviction because the “no was a feeble one�. Now we are going to have to define what the term “feeble� means I guess. When a young lady says “No� that is what it means and nothing else. What is this world coming to? Ladies, please be careful. You know when things don’t look “right� and when they don’t, get as far away from the situation as you can. I am 75 and I have always thought that respecting a lady was SOP (standard operating procedure). I hope the America legal system never stoops to where a “feeble no may mean yes.� Dan Johnson Montpelier

DONALD BRAY JR. Donald W. Bray Jr., 33 years old, of Mechanicsville, passed away with his parents at his side at Johns Hopkins Hospital on September 23, 2017, after a long and painful illness ended as his parents allowed him to return to God.

assessment, or the misinformation that is being produced on social media regarding the board action. Ashland supervisor Faye Prichard pointed out the resolution was passed before a third rail trench option was introduced, and attempts to coin it as an acceptable option for the town are ill advised. “Unfortunately, when we have very sensitive issues in our community like DC to RVA ... we want to make sure that the information that gets to them is correct information,” Prichard said. “Over six months ago, this board passed a resolution that said we find the western bypass route and the third rail unacceptable options for the DC2RVA,” Prichard said. She explained that the resolution had prompted the formation of the CAC. “The county has not taken

a renewed position on the overall options.” Prichard said. “One of the most heartbreaking things for me about all of this is to watch neighbor turn against neighbor. What I want to make clear to the citizens of Hanover County is that there are no winners here … for something that may never happen,” Prichard said. Prichard pointed out that both a third rail through Ashland or a western bypass are both destructive to the community, and other options should be explored. In her mind, the trench option should not be included in that list. “That trench would shut down every business in the downtown of Ashland for a minimum of three years, which, by default, would shut those businesses down permanently,” the Ashland supervisor said. Although the project is decades away from construction and no funding has been identified, Prichard said the negative impacts begin as soon as the CTB reaches a decision.

“The impacts will come long before the first shovel goes in the ground,” she said. Mechanicsville supervisor Canova Peterson noted that he was elected to represent all of Hanover’s citizens, and said he didn’t see any changes in options since the board passed the resolution referenced by Stanley at the CTB meeting. He said the idea of three years of construction and inconvenience are not foreign issues for his constituents who have been dealing with the U.S. 360 project for more than three years. “Not a single business has gone out of business in Mechanicsville (during that time),” Peterson said. He also noted the lack of handicapped accessibility in the current downtown Ashland area and noted the trench could solve some of those issues. He also had a different take on the final impact of the trench project on the town. “I’m not so sure that this is a

determent to the town. It might be an improvement for the town to put those rails underground and be able to utilize that space,” Peterson said. Prichard replied the trench is much more than a temporary inconvenience and the real impacts are as yet unknown due to its late introduction in the process. “It will be an open grate right through the residential neighborhoods,” she said. “We are not talking about inconvenience. We are talking about the permanent changing, the permanent closing of those existing businesses.” Peterson said the bottom line of condemning properties required by the western bypass option makes that choice unacceptable in his mind. “I have a problem supporting anything that would include the confiscation of peoples’ property,” he said. Prichard said the trench option also would require the taking of some properties. “That’s true for every option.”

Charity Poker Run to benefit 5-year-old Kaylee Reed battling two rare autoimmune diseases and epilepsy; fundraiser slated Oct. 21 Staff Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND – A Charity Poker Run to benefit Kaylee Reed will be held Saturday, Oct. 21, at the Marks & Harrison Pavilion at Richmond HarleyDavidson at 12200 Harley Club Drive in Ashland. About two years ago, Kaylee, now 5, she started struggling with the symptoms of what has developed into two full blown and quite rare auto-

immune diseases, eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) and food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES). After eliminating all soy-, gluten-, egg- and dairy-containing products from her diet in the hopes that the diseases could be treated, her parents, Amanda and Jason, learned that her symptoms were persisting and worsening. After several invasive medical exams, extensive testing and Kaylee’s continued weight

loss and lethargy, doctors decided to have her fitted with a feeding tube. For a year, Kaylee has been unsuccessful in finding a food that is safe for her to eat. Her nourishment is supplied by a very expensive formula administered through the feeding tube. In the summer of 2016, Kaylee also was diagnosed with Partial Onset Epilepsy. Though non-convulsive seizures are hardly noticeable to

the average person, they take a toll on Kaylee. She is drained mentally and physically. Those planning to take part in the Charity Poker Run are encouraged to wear teal, the color for food allergy awareness. The cost of the poker run, which is being sponsored by the Confederate Patriots of Virginia, is $15 per rider or $20 a couple. Music will be provided by

tinuing to develop without it,” Hazzard said. “We’ve made it this far without them.” Holladay, in planning to expand Winding Brook, had targeted a fall 2010 opening. The centerpiece of the project was to be the Outlet Shoppes of Richmond, with 375,000 square feet. Friday’s edition of The Richmond Times-Dispatch listed the square footage at 400,000, with Craig Realty as

the developer. In the 2009 article, Kay Pangraze spoke on behalf of Holladay. She is now listed as Craig Realty’s local project manager. Eight years ago, she said momentum was growing for the completion of the 185acre project. Pangranze had said construction at Winding Brook had started in the spring of 2007. Bass Pro Shops opened for business in October 2008.

Phase 1, the Outlet Shoppes, was scheduled to get under way in the summer of 2009, with ground to be broken in the early fall. Pangranze had described the The Outlet Shoppes as being similar to the Prime Outlet Mall in Williamsburg. She also said the goal was for the project to be “concept destination retail,” meaning it “has a draw from a greater distance.”

When Holladay was still the primary on the development, Pangranze said the intention was to “satisfy the whole family,” with specialty attractions like themed restaurants. Bass Pro Shops had been an incentive to attract the mall development. Country Inn and Suites also became an anchor business at the site. In 2014, the Lewistown Commerce Center Community

Development Authority in Hanover County successfully completed the restructuring of $37.7 million in defaulted bonds. The workout transaction, which was completed Tuesday, Aug. 26, was to reduce the assessment bond debt on 123 acres of land just south of the Town of Ashland at the intersection of I-95 and Lewistown Road.

EDA learns about council’s goals for Ashland ASHLAND — Goals focused on economic development in the Town of Ashland were brought to the attention of members on the Economic Development Authority (EDA) during a presentation at Thursday’s regular meeting. Town Manager Joshua Farrar and Joe Topham, CeCD (Certified Economic Developer), who works in the town’s economic development department, addressed development goals for the town’s economy that Ashland Town Council set forth. Topham, the department’s business retention and expansion manager, is among the few local government professionals in the world to become a certified economic developer. He was certified within the last year. Council’s economic development goals included: simplifying the ability for busi-

nesses to locate in the “Center of the Universe” and thrive in it, marketing the town as a tourism destination, creating an “oasis of cleanliness and convenience” by carefully developing the commercialized area encompassing the I95 interchange, and becoming a high-speed internet hotspot in the Richmond metropolitan area and region, as well as the expansion of quality public transportation for Ashland’s residents and visitors. “What I would like to ask for the EDA’s help with is definitely that, first, one – I know that tourism is fun and internet is fun, but we need your help with the ‘meat-and-bones’ here – the real important stuff of making it easy for businesses to locate and thrive here,” Farrar said. The presentation, shown through PowerPoint slides, went into detail regarding

Darrell Leftwich, chairman of the Economic Development Authority for the Town of Ashland, responds to a presentation focused on redevelopment in the town’s commercialized area surrounding the Interstate 95 interchange during Thursday’s meeting.

as the Holland Tract, and about how Ashland has a lot of old businesses that need to either be redeveloped or replaced with something better. Giving an example for a way the town has tried to level its playing field by making up for its disadvantages, he referred especially to: “[the] hotel incentive, that one was easy for us – you tear down something that’s bringing in $1,000 [a month], and [replace it with] something that’s going to put in $50,000 a month – that’s tax ROI.” Their presentation also showed that 70 percent of the town government’s budget is made from local revenues. Of those revenues, only 19 percent stem from property taxes, while 77% come from “other” local taxes. So where does the money come from? Roughly 85% of Ashland’s local revenues are made up of business activities. These pay and generate tax revenue for the town since they are located within corporate limits, which represents an incorporated municipality that forms a separate jurisdiction within Hanover County. Money filling in the remaining local revenues are from town citizens, with Ashlanders generating only 15 percent. The presentation did point out understanding the caveat in which citizens do pay these “various taxes at the businesses

where they are generated.” Farrar explained how the evaluated data in their presentation went beyond metrics per acreage, but was broken down into looking at revenue generated per business. The presentation’s consensus was that, of the various areas in town with business clusters, the highest return on revenue per acre lies in the area surrounding the shopping center on England Street. Farrar told members to consider the different zones in which staff analyzed contained different acreage sizes. He reported how the “per business” analysis found that companies such as Cracker Barrel, Applebee’s and the Holiday Inn “absolutely destroys any other area in town.” Local tax revenue collected from the restaurants Farrar mentioned were in combination with local revenue made from the nearby truck stop, hotels and gas stations. With the area of focus on economic development conveniently situated next to the busiest interstate in America, it begs curiosity for whether the majority of local revenues generated by those businesses from taxes in which customers pay are actually local, or if most of it is coming from interstate passersby. “I hope a little light bulb goes off in your head – of where the money is really coming from,” Farrar hinted.

different ways to achieve the objective to which Farrar was referring. A strategy focusing on redevelopment, cost of entry, infrastructure, tax ROI (return on investment) and economic engines were items listed as needing the EDA’s assistance with to make the goal a reality. “In my mind, I think that comes in a number of areas here, where I think this authority can take on some new things – in particularly redevelopment,” Farrar said. Farrar talked about how, with time, the town has gotten “closer and closer” to becoming built out. In recommending redevelopment as a solution, the presentation suggested, “When you are built out, this is the name of the game.” “I want to get your mind around that I think there’s a really important role this authority can help town coun-

with breakout sessions examining the issue from different perspectives: medical community and prescribers; addiction treatment; emergency medical services; law enforcement; state policy; and youth and schools. There will be a panel dis-

cussion led by individuals in recovery and an open dialogue. The summit will offer free training from 3 to 4:30 p.m. on how to administer naloxone following an actual or suspected overdose of heroin or opioids. Naloxone, which is

available in Virginia without a prescription, can temporarily reverse the drugs’ toxic effects, allowing time to seek professional medical attention. The training, developed by the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and

Developmental Services, is intended for family and friends of someone who is at risk of an overdose. The class provides handson instruction on the administration of naloxone’s nasal form and is restricted to individu-

als age 18 and older. Because spaces are limited, registration is encouraged as soon as possible. To sign up, go to surveymonkey.com/r/ZZC6V6X. Participants will leave the session with a complimentary dose of naloxone.

camp bag, camp T-shirt, and participated in crafts that were designed around the various

presentations. The week concluded with campers eager to hear about

Hanover Humane’s 2018 Camp. Registration for Hanover Humane’s Loving Critter Camp

will begin in January 2018 for the July 2018 Camp. Inquiries about the July

2018 Camp may be sent to the coordinator at info@hanoverhumanesociety.org.

The goal is to show folks that downtown Ashland is vibrant and full of events and celebrations this holiday season! To submit your holiday

event to “Light Up the Tracks,” visit www.MainStreetAshland. org and submit your holiday event through the Light Up the Tracks Form (http:// mainstreetashland.org/cal-

Atlee surprises Patriots with upset victory By Daniel Fritz For the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – Apparently no one told the Atlee Raiders they were the underdog going into Friday night’s showdown against Patrick Henry. It didn’t seem to matter that Atlee had just one win on the season, while this week’s opponent was an overtime loss away from entering the contest with a perfect record. Instead, Atlee looked like the team with something to prove, topping the Patriots 33-15 in an impressive home win to earn its second victory on the year in as many weeks. “I told the team I just want to be proud of their effort,” said Raiders’ head coach Matt Gray. “I’m definitely proud of what they did tonight.” Entering the third quarter, Atlee clung to a 6-point lead. The outcome was very much in doubt. Patrick Henry playmaker Devyn Coles started the second half with a 50-yard kickoff return. The Patriots, led by quarterback Hunter Hart, finally started to look like the team that had begun the season with three consecutive wins. The Patriots looked poised to take their first lead of the game with a first-and-goal from the 1-yard line, but the Atlee defense stiffened. A fumble, tackle for a loss and an incomplete pass kept Patrick Henry

out of the end zone. The ensuing field goal attempt on fourth down was no good. Full of momentum after the goal-line stand, Atlee running back Tucker Bratton struck on an 80-yard touchdown run on the very next play from scrim-

mage. From that point on, the Raiders were in control, never letting off the gas. “It was a stretch run and the offensive line blocked it great” Bratton said. “Once I got to the sideline, I just booked it. I felt the defenders coming, and

really turned it up to score.” To start the game, the Raiders got things going quickly on their first drive. What looked like an early threeand-out turned into a scoring opportunity. Quarterback Tyler Warren, who also serves as the

Raiders’ punter, looked to pin the Patriots deep. When he fielded the fourthdown snap, however, he had different ideas. Warren drifted to his left and looked as if he would attempt a rugby style kick. Instead, he found the edge

and took off for a 24-yard gain. The play set up the Raiders deep in Patriot territory. “It wasn’t a called fake” Warren said. “I read the defense. If I see an opening, I’ve got the green light to run.” The drive ended with Warren finding his tight end Will Belvin on a play-action pass to start the scoring. The ensuing Patrick Henry possession stalled out near midfield and the Atlee offense wasted no time. Warren hit Alex Oliver on a 21-yard strike. The following play, Bratton reeled off a nice run to get to the Patriot 33-yard line. A few plays later, Isaiah Abel got into the action, setting up the Raiders with a goal-line opportunity. Warren finished the 75-yard drive with a quarterback sneak to give Atlee and early two score lead. On their first possession of the second quarter, the Patriots finally started to find some rhythm on offense. Hart, who was playing for a second straight week after missing the first three games, put his legs and arm on display. He rushed for 33 of his 79 total yards on the drive, and threw for another chunk of yardage. Throwing specialist Alex Sikkar then entered the game at quarterback and threw a beautiful pass to Coles, hitting him in

C-feds recover from loss by beating Hawks By Andrew Spencer for the Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – Hanover has been struggling offensively all season, and LeeDavis took advantage of it as the Confederates rebounded from an embarrassing loss to Highland Springs last week with a 41-11 win over the host Hawks Friday night. The outcome for Lee-Davis was very different that it was last week when Highland Springs shut out the Confederates 480. The loss helped motivate Lee-Davis as it prepared for Hanover. “We feel like as a team that we didn’t put our best foot forward last week,” said Lee-Davis head coach Ryan Turnage. “[The Springers] really took it to us, and we wanted to come out this week and play better and that’s what we did tonight.” Lee-Davis controlled both sides of the line of scrimmage and took the Hawks out of the game almost from the first snap. The Confederates ran away with the game – literally – in the second quarter. Junior running back Josh Rice put Lee-Davis up

quickly tonight,” said Hanover head coach Derek Stoudt. “We gave them five scores, so we were playing from way behind all night.” The trouble for the Hawks started on the game’s first offensive possession. After receiving the opening kickoff, Hanover ran three plays for a total of minus-10 yards, including a 5yards assessed on a false start penalty. “Those are things that young teams do,” Stoudt said. “We’re a young team right now.” On fourth down, John Dustin’s punt caromed off the side of his foot and only netted 15 yards, putting the Confederates in prime position to start. Six plays later – a series that featured a heaping portion of Rice – the Confederates were on the board with their first touchdown. It was a lead they would never relinquish. In the second half, the Nick Liberante for The Local Hanover staff opted to bring Lee-Davis running back Josh Rice turns the corner on Hanover defender John Dustin on an 8-yard touchdown run Friday night. in junior Tyler Elrod in relief of It only took one play for later, Anthony would score McLanahan at quarterback. by two scores with his second McLanahan made an ill-advised “What we were doing was throw into double coverage that Confederate quarterback Zach another touchdown on a 35touchdown of the evening.

October 4, 2017

MECHANICSVILLE – Hanover forward Kora Kane did what she needed to do to keep the Hawks at the front of the pack among county field hockey teams, providing a second-half equalizer and adding a game-winning goal in overtime to lead the Hawks to a 2-1 win over a determined Patrick Henry challenger at Hanover Monday night. Hanover had defeated the

Patriots previously – also by a margin of 2-1. The Hawks defeated Atlee 2-1 in overtime as well. Kane said the wins were the result of Hanover’s teamwork. “We can work together well when we need to,” she said. Patrick Henry had got on the board first on a goal by Caroline Quigley in the first half. Kane tied the game with her first goal in the second. Her game-winning goal came just past the mid-point of overtime. “Addie Michael, she’s a

defender … she pulled it up and she slowed down – she actually took her time – and she lifted it up over the defender’s stick,” Kane said. “I just kind of whacked it in, almost blindly and it just went where I needed it to go.” Patrick Henry head coach Abbie Rossman said lack of teamwork doomed the Patriots. “I think we weren’t all in together, fluid at the same time,” Rossman said. “We had some spurts of just great elimination skills and passing, but when it

came to the finish, I think we weren’t there mentally. We were looking for someone else to get the job done.” She’s not worried about her team, however. “They work so very, very hard,” Rossman said. “Today we just didn’t work well together.” Atlee 2, Lee-Davis 0 MECHANICSVILLE – Atlee sophomore Ari Wheeler had a goal and an assist to lead see KANE, pg. 31

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor ASHLAND – At times, Randolph-Macon looked as if it could hold its own against Old Dominion Athletic Conference rival Shenandoah Thursday night. Other times, the Yellow Jackets seemed incapable of containing the Hornets as Shenandoah quarterback Hayden Bauserman picked apart the Yellow Jacket secondary largely at will, completing 36-of-60 passes for 588 yards and six touchdowns to lead Shenandoah to a 51-38 victory at Day Field. “We got exposed in the secondary tonight,” said Randolph-Macon head coach Pedro Arruza. We didn’t play well at all. We didn’t make very many plays back there.” While the Yellow Jacket secondary did intercept Bauserman once, its counterparts on the Hornets had a much better day, intercepting Randolph-Macon quarterback Burke Estes four times. “We kind of got out of our element, out of our game, which is not to play catch-up for a lot of the time,” Arruza said. The game seemed to start well for the Yellow Jackets. After forcing Shenandoah to punt on the opening drive of the game, Randolph-Macon scored on its first drive, a six-play, 60-yard affair capped by a 5-yard pass from Estes to Eric Hoy. But the Yellow Jacket defense could not contain Bauserman and the Hornets for long. Bauserman led Shenandoah on two successive scoring drives: the first taking just four plays to drive 74 yards and end in a 40-yard pass from Bauserman to Dershone Hayman, the second taking just two plays to go 51 yards and end in a 12-yard pass from Bauserman to Casey

Stewart. Randolph-Macon tied the game on its third drive, of eight plays and 75 yards that ended with Tre Frederick’s 7-yard run. It fell behind after forcing the Hornets to punt and getting the ball at the 1-yard line. J.P. Redmond tried to rush out of the end zone, but was stopped short of the goal line for a safety that gave Shenandoah a 1614 lead at the end of the first quarter. Once more the RandolphMacon defense held. The offense responded with an 11play, 89-yard drive that ended

in a 17-yard pass from Estes to Hoy which gave the Yellow Jackets a 21-16 lead mid-way through the second quarter. The Hornets would not be denied, however. They scored twice in the final minutes of the second quarter to take a 3021 lead and Randolph-Macon played catch-up the rest of the game. “I thought the game got off to a great start, you know, and then we gave up a couple of big plays,” Arruza said. “We had a tough time tackling in the open field.” Part of the problem may

have been Shenandoah’s skill players, such as Leonard Scott (seven receptions for 162 yards and three touchdowns), Stewart (four catches for 97 yards and a touchdown) and Cory Bell (four catches for 93 yards). “Their skill guys were really good,” Arruza said. “The quarterback is legit. He’s the best guy that we’ll see in a while, I think.” Despite his four interceptions, Estes generated a ton of Randolph-Macon offense, completing 26 of 41 passes for 381 yards and four touchdowns. His favorite target

Two area golfers crowned region champions By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor CHESTERFIELD – While no area golf teams have qualified for their respective Virginia High School League state championships, Hanover and King William have plenty of golfers whose 2017 seasons are not over. With two regional champions – Patrick Henry sophomore Jessica Rathbone and King William sophomore Taylor Hubbard – three additional qualifiers, and several girls with a chance to qualify for the VHSL Girls Open later this month, golf will be on the local sports menu until the end of October. Rathbone will forgo the VHSL Class 4 state golf championships – which will be held at Glenrochie Country Club in Abingdon on Oct. 910 – In favor of her second appearance in the Girls Open at Independence Golf Club in Midlothian on Oct. 23-34. “I’m still very happy about that,” Rathbone said of her win in the Region 4A championships at Mattaponi Springs Golf Club in Ruther Glen. “[The course] is really gorgeous and really hard. It looks easy, but it’s not easy.” She finished with a 1-over 73, not a bad result considering how she felt when she saw her first hole, Mattaponi Springs’ No. 18. “I had never played the back night, and [No. 18] was the hole I started on – because it was a shotgun start,” Rathbone said. “When we were driving up to the tee box, I was like, ‘Oh gosh, this does not look like a fun hole to start on.’ It was like straight downhill with the fairways sloping into the woods, so I was happy to par that.” She bogeyed her second hole – No. 1 – but hit even par

settle for two golfers – senior Jimmy Hill and freshman Andrew Wilkinson – moving on to states. Hawk junior Bella Seip will make a pitch for the Girls Open in the Central Zone

qualifier at Dogwood Trace in Petersburg on Oct. 17. The other county golfer to qualify for a state tournament was Atlee senior Spencer Talley, who will compete in the Class 5 championships at Magnolia Green in Moseley on Oct. 9-10. He finished in a tie for sixth place in the Region 5B championships at The Highlands Thursday. Talley was in an early group and came in a tie for fifth (with Mills Godwin’s Charlie Kennedy) among the six individuals who would claim an individual berth in the state tournament. He had to sweat a bit while as he waited for the rest of the field to get in – if a golfer came in ahead of them, he and Kennedy would have to go to a playoff to determine who would advance.

But he didn’t sweat much. “I was pretty confident in my game,” Talley said. “I knew if it came down to that I could rely on myself to come out with the win.” He said he’s not feeling too much pressure for the upcoming tournament. “I’ve never been to states, so I don’t really have any expectations,” Talley said. “I’m just glad that I’ve made it this far. … I’d like to do well, but I’m just happy I qualified to go to states.” King William’s Hubbard had quite a run in postseason last year, with top-six finishes at the Region 2A East golf championships and at the Virginia High School League Group 2A state championships. He improved upon that performance this year with individual champion-

ship in the Region 2A championships at Kinderton Country Club in Clarksville on Sept. 26. He advances to the VHSL Class 2 golf championships at Heritage Oaks in Harrisonburg on Oct. 9-10. In this year’s regional, Hubbard started off 2-over on the front nine at Kinderton (par 35), but came in 3-under on the back nine (par 36) for a 1under 70, one stroke ahead of second-place Cassie Robinson of Greensville. “I’ll take it,” Hubbard said of his win. He said the greens posed the biggest challenge of the course at Kinderton. “The greens were really small, I think. Ball-striking was really put at a premium. It’s probably what helped me play so well compared to the field,” Hubbard said. “The greens were small, but they had big undulations. The grain of the grass really dictated where the ball was going to go, so reading the greens … played a big factor.” Robinson led Hubbard going into the 16th hole. “On 16, I tied for the lead – made a 4-foot birdie putt to tie,” Hubbard said. “On 17, [Robinson] missed a 3- or 4foot par putt which really [hurt]. With one hole left to go, she had to make something happen, and it just didn’t happen. I think it could have gone either way, and it happened to go my way.” One other Cavalier remains alive in the postseason. Freshman Arria Gross hopes to make the Girls Open. To get there, however, she’ll have to finish among the top golfers in the Northern Zone qualifier at Fawn Lake Country Club in Spotsylvania Courthouse on Oct 17.

Yellow Jackets sting Maroons By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor ASHLAND – RandolphMacon’s women’s volleyball team didn’t take its Old Dominion Athletic Conference visitor lightly Wednesday night. The Yellow Jackets hosted Roanoke in Crenshaw Gymnasium and attacked from the start, swarming the Maroons in a 25-8, 25-17, 25-8 sweep. A key component of the Randolph-Macon attack was senior setter Erin Quinn, who finished with 19 assists and 14 digs. She was part of the team that advanced to the Elite Eight of the NCAA Division III tournament, and she would like to end her college career by going a little further.

“Ever since we’ve been in that environment, we’ve been aching to go and get back to it again,” Quinn said. “Last year we did fall short, but we learned a lot, and we have a lot of the same girls. So it’s definitely our mission to get back there this year.” Former Hanover standout Miranda Hall, a sophomore outside hitter, was one of the lead attackers, earning 10 kills and four digs on the evening. While the Yellow Jackets are undefeated in ODAC play so far, she said they aren’t getting comfortable. “We still have some things to work on if we want to advance in the NCAA’s,” Hall said. “ Dave Lawrence can be Dave Lawrence/The Local reached at dlawrence@mechlo- Randolph-Macon hitters Colleen Beaver (30) and Miranda Hall (10) leap up to block Roanoke College’s Caitlin Sharkey in the cal.com.

stride for Patrick Henry’s first score of the game, and closing the deficit to six points going into half time. That would be as close as the Patriots would get. After Bratton’s game-changing run, both Isaac Abel and John Johnson would add rushing touchdowns of their own. Patrick Henry would add on one more touchdown late in the game when Sikkar hit his receiver on a 79-yard pass from scrimmage to close out the scoring. When the clock hit all zeroes, Coach Gray certainly had a lot to be proud of. “We have got some tough kids. Guys like [linebacker] Hayden Moore, [lineman] Robbie Adelstein, and Isaac

Achilles heel all season. And we’ve got to find a way to get past that.” To date, the Hanover offense has only scored 52 points all season. Friday, the Hawks host the Highland Springs team that mauled Lee-Davis. It is the first stage in a brutal scheduling gauntlet for Hanover, which won’t make it easy to improve those stats. “It doesn’t get any easier for us going forward,” Stoudt said. “If anything, it gets harder.” Kickoff for Highland Springs at Hanover is at 7 p.m. LeeDavis hosts Armstrong Friday. Kickoff there is likewise at 7 p.m. Andrew Spencer can be reached at sports@mechlocal. com.

so we felt like we had to try something,” Stoudt said. “We had to throw some sort of spark in there.” At first, it seemed that the spark that Elrod provided might just result in a Hawks comeback, as he was perfect on his first three pass attempts, capping off his inaugural drive with a 27-yard touchdown toss to Edward Robinson. But the Confederates tightened up on defense and shut down the offensive resurgence before it could gain much traction. “The effort was there the entire time,” Stoudt said of his team’s performance. “We improved on both sides of the 7 20 7 7 — 41 ball as the game went on.

CANCER • Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, someone you love is far away and you are trying every way possible to close the distance. An impromptu trip to reconnect may be in order.

LIBRA • Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, a busy week means it’s necessary to minimize distractions. This will help you get to the bottom of a problem much quicker. A time to relax is on the horizon.

TAURUS • Apr 21/May 21 You have a specific goal in mind and a plan to accomplish it, Taurus. What you may not have counted on are the little obstacles that tend to pop up. Take them one by one.

LEO • Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you have been keeping a close watch on all of your behaviors for awhile now. This week you may be ready to let loose a bit and enjoy yourself with friends.

SCORPIO • Oct 24/Nov 22 Even though you can’t pinpoint it directly, Scorpio, you can tell something is going on that has been kept from you. Someone you thought was a friend may not be.

GEMINI • May 22/Jun 21 You might get a kick out of beating someone at their own game, Gemini. Just make sure you keep things lighthearted and that others are not slighted by your efforts.

VIRGO • Aug 24/Sept 22 Some exciting news is coming your way, Virgo. Just be patient for a little longer because it will be well worth it to hear what others can’t wait to tell you.

SAGITTARIUS • Nov 23/Dec 21 Don’t fret over trivial issues, Sagittarius. They will work themselves out without much intervention. Focus your energy on larger issues.

CAPRICORN • Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, you prefer to do things in the most direct manner possible. However, you may have to take a roundabout route in the next few days to complete a particular project. AQUARIUS • Jan 21/Feb 18 Go out sometime this week and enjoy some conversation and fun with friends or coworkers, Aquarius. Soon enough you may not have much time for social engagements.
