STOPS AT EVERY HOME IN TOWN
System’s success credited to HCPS students, sta By Melody Kinser Managing Editor MECHANICSVILLE – When Dr. Michael accepted the position of superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools he was well aware of the division’s successes because he was already part of the division. He was named the 13th superintendent last fall while serving as the assistant superintendent of Instructional Leadership since 2014. In a recent interview with The Local, he was humble and modest, giving the credit for the district’s statewide acclaim to the students and staff. “We are extremely proud of the efforts of our staff and our students, first and foremost,â€? Gill said, “and the scores reflect a lot of hard work, a lot of dedication on behalf of our staff and certainly the efforts of our students.â€? He also praised the administration and the central office support staff. “It’s their hard work that is deserving of all praise. That being said, our belief — and it’s my belief — but I hope if you talk to any Hanover educator and, quite probably any educator period, is that no
single score on paper should define the worth of a child, should define the worth of a teacher, a school, a school division.� Gill’s comments came following the release of Standards of Learning assessments from the Virginia Department of Education, which reported that improvements in the commonwealth’s schools are being made in reading, math and science. Those results stem from the 2015see SUCCESS, pg. 5

Art McKinney, a prominent Ashland businessman, had a love for trains. Since his passing, an organization formed that led to the creation of a mural in his honor.

SHLAND — From a small second floor office nestled along the railroad tracks in Ashland, Art McKinney reached out to the world. The company he founded and headed has achieved
worldwide recognition for completed projects, and McKinney and Company is a well-respected world-class engineering firm. The work continues in that small office without the stalwart who created the vision and traveled the world displaying his engineering prowess.
But the Virginia Tech graduate’s heart was never far from the place he called home, and the familiar roar of a passing train and a picture that existed only in his mind. McKinney often spoke about a vision he had for the block he knew so well, and

ECHANICSVILLE — Two years ago, sensing an opportunity to reach kids in the Mechanicsville area with a life-giving club that would touch kids’ hearts and minds, KIX was launched at the Ashcreek Club House. Since its inception, it has expanded and grown to the point where nearly 100 students were a part of KIX in 2015-2016 at Pearson’s Corner Elementary School. KIX was created to offer a place for kids to grow and receive tools that they need to succeed in life. The kids in our community face challenges such as bullying, money management, and peer pressure just to name a few. The vision is to equip kids to handle those challenges but also to develop a sense of self-worth and dignity where they will chose to dress modestly, have manners and serve others. KIX is a place where investing in life lessons and helping to instill a sense of core values will help the kids in this community to grow up and become amazing adults. New for this fall, KIX will be meeting at its current location at Pearson’s Corner Elementary School on the second and fourth Wednesdays and second and fourth Tuesdays at Gandy Elementary School in Ashland.

KIX, a unique kids club, will have two locations as the new school year begins: Gandy Elementary School in Ashland and Pearson’s Corner Elementary School in Mechanicsville. An excited group of participants has some tough choices to make with all the cakes and treats made available to them.
KIX is open to any child (first through fifth grade) and will help the kids explore topics such as peer pressure, self-confidence, modesty, kindness, respecting parents and authority, serving others, bullying, and more. The current format for each evening includes a large group time where topics are introduced and then the groups split up into smaller groups for deeper instruction, interaction and fun as
they participate in games, crafts and discussion to further develop the night’s topic. Each group has multiple leaders, all of whom have been background checked. These small groups foster great friendships among the kids and leaders. The Gandy program begins at 5:30 and ends at 7 p.m. with dinner included. This fall’s KIX at Gandy gets underway Sept. 27. see KIX, pg. 4

High school students welcomed back by sheriff (Editor’s note: The following was submitted by Col. David R. Hines, sheriff of Hanover County.) Dear Students: As your sheriff, I would like to personally welcome you to the 2016-2017 school year. Each year, I have taken the opportunity to write you and welcome you back to school. While our primary focus every year is your safety, I also encourage you to be the very best you can be. Your actions have consequences, many of which are positive. We are often reminded by our news reporting agencies and social media that our world is in turmoil. The fact is that you are the future of this county, state and our country. These high school years are extremely important as they prepare you to enter the world as productive citizens. As citizens you have guaranteed rights, but those rights come with equal and numerous responsibilities. For most of you, high school will be filled with many milestones. The majority of you will obtain your driver’s licenses and earn the privilege to drive. I cannot stress enough the vital responsibility of safe driving. Our community has suffered too many tragic losses of our young citizens in the past few years and it is time to put an end to this. Many of you will also start working for the first time while in high school. Your attitude, experience and work ethic will be invaluable during these years. Your efforts and dedication today will lay the foundation for your future successes.
L6060 COL. DAVID R. HINES Hanover County sheriff
Take on a leadership role in your community. Take a stand against those who prey on weaker students and provide a positive role model. When you see something that is not right, say something. Lean on your parents or trusted adults in your life, including your school resource officer, for guidance as you navigate through these years. Remember, you only get to experience high school once, so be sure to make the most of it. Make smart decisions and consider your future. Get involved, work hard and develop leadership skills. What you do today will affect your tomorrow. I wish you a safe and successful year ahead! Col. David R. Hines Sheriff

expressed a desire to add a decorative and historical mural to the side of his building. “Art McKinney was a very prominent man in this town,” said Dan Dicandilo, one of the organizers who is trying to make the vision a reality. “He ran an internationally known engineering firm from the office above the Iron Horse. McKinney passed away earlier this year, but his imprint on the town left a lasting impression. “He was a Virginia Tech graduate and supporter, and was a key donor to the YMCA here in Ashland.” “One of his dreams was to put a mural on his building depicting the history of some of the trains coming through Ashland,” Dicandilo said. “When he would come in to talk, he’d show me pictures and tell me his idea of what he wanted to do… but he never got to finish it.” Thanks to some concerned citizens, that project is moving forward. Friends of Art (FOA) is a community-based committee formed to make Art’s dream a reality. Ashland Street Parties is the nonprofit that is sponsoring the mural effort. “Art’s vision was to celebrate the trainscape which is ingrained in the daily life of all Ashland residents and visitors,” said FOA committee member Hank Lowry. Dicandilo, Art’s wife and partner Jerry McKinney, and McKinney and Company president Nancy Walker join him on the committee. Dicandilo said finishing the project became a priority for him after McKinney’s courageous battle with cancer ended earlier this year. “I was very fond of him. I thought it would be a nice idea if I picked up the project,” Dicandilo said. “I spoke with his wife, Hank and Nancy and we formed a committee under
the umbrella of ASP.” The group commissioned local artist Ed Trask to complete the project. “We sat down with him and came to an agreement as to what we were going to do,” Dicandilo said. “In a short period of time, we put together the most beautiful train mural
you have ever seen.” The committee, dubbed Friends of Art (FOA), is focused on raising funds to complete the project and contributors will be invited to take part in the actual painting of the project. Their names also will be included on the train.
Persons wishing to donate are offered three levels of contribution. Bronze level donations are $100, while silver and gold level categories are $500 and $1,000. “Not only is this something see MURAL, pg. 7

2016 school year. “While we want to celebrate our successes, we also want to do so with the mindset that this is one measure of success but it is not the sole measure of success,” the superintendent said. He said one interpretation could be: “ ‘Hey, look at us.’ That’s not to say that SOLs don’t have their place, but I don’t believe that you can say a single benchmark of measurement that is all encompassing when defining educational success.” Gill did praise the efforts of the Department of Education and the Virginia General Assembly. “I do believe through the SOL Innovation Committee, which has been in place now for a couple of years through recent legislation is promoting a refinement of the accountability system.” However, he continued, “It still remains to be seen how it will manifest itself in terms of guidelines or regulations issued by the DOE. But what we do know very clearly is that the profile of a Virginia graduate in the very near future is going to look very different than it does right now, meaning that for years, decades, a student has had to pass SOL tests in order to get verified credits, and it has been a system that has been in order for a long time in order to meet the end goal, which, of course, is that diploma. “But, in the near future some of that at least
will change in which students will also have to show mastery and career readiness skills as well as other competencies that will show that they are ready for the world in which they will live and work.” Gill said HCPS welcomes changes, but he doesn’t believe standardized tests will go away in their entirety. “I do believe it is being recognized and I welcomed the recognition that they can’t be the only measure of success.” “So, to transition a little bit, in Hanover we have two main focus areas for this year. We always have initiatives we certainly want to continue.” The superintendent, who assumed the responsibilities on Dec. 1, 2015, said he could sum up the county school system’s next step with equity and relevance. “In terms of equity, people can define that in many ways, but our working definition essentially is making sure that every student, every building, has the resources and supports that they need in order to be as successful as possible with as rigorous course work as is appropriate and so this is not a new concept necessarily but it is one we want to have a concentrated focus on.” He said there is also the “understanding that every student learns differently; every student has varying levels of abilities in different areas. What is easy for one in one area may not be easy for the other, but that student may excel in a
completely different area.” Looking ahead, Gill wants to provide opportunities to enhance areas that are already provide strength and support growth in areas which may need an additional focus. “The other part about that is providing the resources needed in order to make that happen and understanding what is right in one place may not be right in another. We are differentiating equity from equality.” As for relevance, Gill said he has “become a bit of a broken record. I’m doing so because I do believe that when we hear questions that every student has asked, including yours truly, ‘Why do we have to learn this? Are we every going to have to use this stuff?’ These are good questions. We live in a world where basic knowledge can be looked up in a couple of clicks.” When information is presented, he said, “It has to be with a mindset ‘How are we going to assist students with building skill sets that will serve them well for the rest of their life?’ There’s no way that we could predict every job that will be available in the next 10 years, let alone in the course of their lifetime or their career lifetime. But what we can do is give them the thought process; instill in them work habits; instill an innovative and creative spirit that will serve them well in an ever-changing world.” “So that’s what we mean by relevance,” Gill added. “We want to make sure that what they learn inside the classroom is applicable
when they go outside the brick and mortar of a building — when they’re engaged, learning habits.” He said student engagement can help prevent dropping out of school. “We remain extremely proud of our graduation rate. Engagement is one of the ways to make sure that a student is connected and, therefore, wants to learn.” “Finally, the last but certainly not least area that is always going to make a difference, no matter what the year, is the relationship between staff and students, and I think our staff excels at that and we have to continue to do that.” Gill adheres to the philosophy that, despite the year on the calendar, “getting to know our students in an authentic way is never going to go out of style. We are very proud and that certainly includes me.” The superintendent does show that proud side when talking about the system he leads. Four words influence him and they can be found at the bottom of the HCPS seal: “A tradition of excellence.” “But the thing you will find about any company, corporation, body of individuals of any kind, and certainly of school systems is the ones that have a true tradition of excellence never become complacent,” Gill said. “And, so while we are extremely proud of our achievement, we also recognize that we can never become complacent in order to sustain that tradition of excellence.”

We, as well as those who participate in our letters to the editor section, express ourselves and our opinions. If you agree or disagree, you are more than welcome to submit a letter to the editor. And, yes, as long as you abide by the legal aspects of your words, it will be published.

We want you to take possession of this page because we are here to serve the community – through our words and yours. Do not hesitate to comment, question or criticize our opinions. Your voice matters to us and our readers. Just as the editorial is the opinion of an editor or contributing columnist, the letters to the editor section is dedicated to your opinion. As you have seen, we will publish those letters that strongly challenge our opinions. But we want that conversation. We want that community involvement. Early in my career, I was taught: “Don’t tell people what to think; give them something to think about.” I’ve always tried to write with that in mind. So, if you get angry about something we have written, express yourself. If you’re pleased with something we’ve written, share that too. The bottom line: It’s your paper — use your voice.

Hook, line and thinker By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist Art Lecker was the oldest man in Appleton, Wisconsin, diagnosed with polio when the epidemic stuck nationwide in the early 1950s. One day he was an active, hard-working farmer and the next day he was permanently crippled. When I first met him in 1968, he had long become accustomed to the inconveniences of his illness, and the debilitating condition had not dented his tenacious spirit. Art was still the boss, and most days found him sitting
on a tractor on the acres now overseen by his son. On my numerous trips to Wisconsin, I always stayed on the second floor of Art’s house in Appleton, only a stone’s throw from his family farm. I got to know Art through my relationship with his favorite granddaughter Sue, my high school sweetheart. She had moved here from Wisconsin when she was in the eighth grade. I quickly learned that staying at Art’s house meant getting up early, and the set of stairs that separated me
and the feisty old German provided no protection from his wrath at sleeping late. He rattled his crutches, sticks as he called them, on the walls at the bottom of the stairs until he was convinced you were up and moving. Much of the time I spent with Art was at a place called Loon Lake where Art had a summer trailer and a small fishing boat. It was a familyoriented camping park comprised of most regulars, many of them spending generations on the lake. see THINKER, pg. 8
LETTERS | Reader Views
Reader disappointed in political opinion Ms. [Melody] Kinser, I have lived in Mechanicsville for 50 years. I used to enjoy The Mechanicsville Local for many of those years. Now The Local has become a source of disappointment since the editor of the paper has used her position of power to promote her political opinion. In your narrow-minded article, not only did you state falsehoods, but you let many of the good people of Mechanicsville know that if they do not agree with your political opinions, you do not want to know them. I guess the business owners who advertise in The Local that think it’s a good idea to build a wall on our southern border to keep illegal aliens from coming into our country need to think twice before buying advertising in The Local, since you don’t want to know them either! By the way, Ms. Kinser, why would a so-called wall just keep out Mexicans? You would think a person in your position would know that you represent The Mechanicsville Local to all of the people in the area, not just people of a certain political persuasion. I am not a registered Democrat, Republican or Independent and if you did a hit piece on the other candidate, I would react the same way. I used to look forward to The Local being delivered to my home, but now the letters to the editor are usually the same bunch of people bickering at each other. I also noticed a recent guest editorial also was a one-sided political hit piece against the same candidate that you singled out.
The people of Mechanicsville deserve better from the editor of their local paper than your comment about you not wanting to know them if they don’t agree with your political opinions. What do you think, Ms. Kinser, should all of the people that you do not want to know keep reading The Local or should they leave it in the ditch where it usually ends up each week?

The days were pleasant and filled with simple pleasures like water skiing or swimming, but late afternoons were reserved for something Art loved almost as much as his farm: fishing. I learned quite a bit sitting in that small boat facing one of the strongest men I’d ever known, sitting patiently with a rod tip pointed intensely at the mirror-like water. I’ve encountered few people as authentic as Art, and

one did not entertain frivolous or exaggerated conversation when talking with the man in the chair. His tolerance for that which did not merit attention was non-existent, and he could shut down a conversation with a penetrating look and a word or two of wisdom that sent the message …clearly. Those same eyes could display a kindness, warmth and sincerity that no one could dispute came directly from his heart. To be honest, I’m not much of a fisherman, but I was con-

vinced Art didn’t know that. Of course, he did but he allowed me to continue on those late evening trips to the other side of the island in the center of the lake. It was a time of day and a peace and quiet whose memory still provide a sense of tranquility decades later. What I lacked in fishing expertise, Art more than made up for with years of experience and knowledge of the lake that allowed him to find the big “northerns” that hid in the weeds in special spots. While I filled the chain hanging over the edge of the boat with brim, he routinely reeled in large pike. “Look at that, my friend,” he would softly exclaim as he lifted the menacing looking fish into the boat. It wasn’t until years later that I realized I gained little knowledge about fishing on those afternoon escapades, but I learned a lot about courage and determination from a man whose lessons serve me well to this day. It was an unlikely pairing: a long-haired liberal college student and a no nonsense farmer from Wisconsin. But the hours

spent on that lake prove that the most unlikely of possible outcomes are usually the ones that happen the most often. I never thought of Art as being disabled. I suppose that’s the most appropriate tribute to a man who lived through a life of obstacles, and didn’t mind smiling along the way. On that path, he touched hundreds of lives and influenced the way many of them approached a lifetime of challenges. As I struggle with and for a family member who is facing insurmountable odds and faces a life without the use of his legs, Art’s legacy means even more and I often speak of him when my son is in need of inspiration. And fishing. Well, I haven’t done much of it since those summers in Wisconsin and I rarely think of it ... except for those special moments when my mind wanders back to a small boat sitting on Loon Lake and the simple sound of ripples quietly splashing against the shore — and a man who taught me what I know about fishing, but much more about something that is most important: life.

scary election is shared by a lot of people. The part that scares me the most is that this election doesn’t seem to be based on facts or rational debate. You are absolutely correct about Hillary Clinton’s resume is way superior to Donald Trump’s. She has spent her entire life in public service. She has been about as successful as anyone in government can be. It defies logic that this isn’t a slam dunk for her. If a surgeon messes up and leaves a sponge in a patient or cuts off the wrong body part, even if you are the patient, do you then, when you need surgery again, seek someone in another profession? Even if your accountant or your plumber is the best in their business, and you just love the way that person seems to have the answers for everything, I know I wouldn’t want him or her to be my surgeon! I understand that some people are not happy with the economy and they are expecting their president to be the great “fixer.” Our country’s government is not set up that way and that’s a good thing. Laws and policies are supposed to be debated and decisions are to be made by compromises. Lawmakers are supposed to study problems and propose solutions and listen to their constituents. The president is supposed to lead this process. It makes sense that the president has experience with this process. I know all of this isn’t this simple. But that’s my point. As your editor jokingly said she was thinking about running for president, she knows that’s just as ridiculous as her accountant doing her next surgery.
The decisions a president has to make isn’t done by just polling an audience or listening to those that cheer around his or her podium. I want my surgeons and my presidents to have as much experience as possible. Of course, experience isn’t the only quality, but that’s at least the bare minimum! Rita Dowling Mechanicsville
Astounded by editorial stance I was astounded at the ignorance displayed in the Aug. 24, 2016, edition’s editorial. Does the editor not know that any and all countries have borders? What are borders for? They are to mark the boundaries inside which the citizens live and enjoy the rights of citizenship. If a country does not defend its border, it has no border; it is not a country. So, when the editor writes “If you are in favor (of) building a fence/wall to keep Mexicans out of our country (emphasis mine) ... I don’t want to know you,” the editor is saying we are a country, and we are not a country, in the same sentence. Then the editor goes on to say “don’t even get me started on deporting Muslims,” insinuating that Trump has advocated deporting any legal resident, Muslim, Mexican or Moroccan, when even the casual political observer knows he has done no such thing. Then the editor has the gall to say “For the record, I am a born-again Christian,” stressing her “I’m a good person” bona fides in typical liberal style, all the while the gist of the editorial is that she/we should support the save the whale, kill the baby, and marry the sodomites candidate.

RICHMOND – Attendance at school is essential to academic success, but far too many students are at risk academically because they are chronically absent – described as missing 10 percent of the school year for any reason, excused or unexcused. Local school districts, including Hanover County Public Schools, and community partners are uniting for National Attendance Awareness Month in September, to reduce chronic absenteeism in the Richmond region, especially among lowincome families. “I’m pleased to join our regional partners in emphasizing the importance of regular attendance at school to help ensure that all students have the necessary supports and resources in place in order to receive the best education possible,” said Dr. Michael B.

dents (K-12th grade) in the U.S. missed 15 or more days of school in 2013-2014, according to the U.S. Education Department, which collected student absenteeism rates for the first time. In June, the department released its first national data report on chronic absence, calling it a hidden educational crisis. The focus on average daily attendance and excused absences nationally makes it easy to miss students who account for a large number of the absences. Chronically absent students are missing almost a month of school – enough to put them at severe risk of dropping out or failing to graduate. Low-income students are four times more likely to be chronically absent than others. In the Richmond region, more than 10,000 students missed six or more days of school with unexcused absenc-

Virginia Blood Services is not in an area that is immediately affected by Zika, and there is no impact to the blood currently on our shelves. Virginia Blood Services anticipates minimal impact to its donors and collections, no disruption to the
community’s blood supply, or any effect on product distribution to its hospital partners, as a result of this request. “Virginia Blood Services has been anticipating the new guidance and communicating with the FDA to stay on top of this rapidly changing situation,” Dr. Darrell J. Triulzi, M.D., Virginia Blood Services/ITxM medi-
cal director, said. “We are already in the process of implementing the changes necessary to begin testing. Our patients’ safety is our number one priority.” Virginia Blood Services will continue to monitor the most current information and communicate any notable changes as they occur.

Missing just two days each month for any reason adds up to lost learning time. This is a local, alarming problem that we need to address – especially with communities most impacted by poverty,” said Jason Smith, executive director of Bridging Richmond. Chronic absenteeism is widespread, but it disproportionately affects children from low-income families, creating attendance issues that exacerbate achievement gaps in local schools. This is not just a matter of truancy. Many children, especially in the early grades, miss too much school because of chronic health problems, unreliable transportation, a lack of safety, or unstable housing — barriers
that local community partners can help families address. To improve attendance in the Richmond region, Bridging Richmond is working with local school districts, VCU, United Way of Greater Richmond and Petersburg, Communities In School (CIS), Peter Paul Development Center and YMCA of Greater Richmond and Petersburg. Schools, nonprofit organizations and community partners are launching new efforts to educate parents and students about the value of going to school every day. They are identifying chronically absent students, increasing communication with families, providing community resources, and engaging families and youth in action to improve attendance. During National Attendance Awareness Month, Bridging Richmond is asking the community – including school leaders, community advocates, employers, parents and students – to work together to stem chronic absenteeism. Teachers can build strong

relationships with families. Families and friends can emphasize the value of education and its need for a bright future. Social service providers, community centers and places of worship can help families overcome barriers to positive attendance outcomes. “This matters to all of us, not just those with school-age children,” Smith said. “Each day employers lose productivity when employees are home with absent students. Our future economic competitiveness as a region depends on our youth developing positive attendance behaviors and gaining the knowledge and skills needed to obtain industry certifications, degrees and be ready for career and civic life.” Bridging Richmond recommends these tips for parents to help children attend school regularly: Reach out to professional school counselors, teachers, and social support agencies to help overcome barriers to attendance. Schedule medical, dental
and other appointments before or after school. Don’t let your child stay home unless he/she is truly sick. Keep in mind complaints of a stomach ache or headache may be anxiety and not a reason to stay home. Set a regular bedtime and morning routine. Prepare clothes and backpacks the night before. Find out if your child feels safe from bullies and other threats. Encourage your child to participate in sports, clubs and other quality afterschool activities. Stay on top of your child’s social contacts. Peer pressure can lead to skipping school. Talk to teachers if you notice sudden changes in your

Nonprofit working with town to revitalize theater By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local
ASHLAND — Since Gov. Terry McAuliffe’s approval of the $500,000 revitalization fund grant to be awarded to the Ashland Theater by the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD), the town has been accepting applications from nonprofits that are interested in signing the
theater’s 10-year lease for $1 a month. The deadline to submit proposals relating to the operations, renovations and construction were due by Aug. 29, and any non-profit organizations who wish to apply for the lease were to do so by Sept. 6. Hugh Joyce, Ashland Theater Foundation vice president, presented the proposed construction plans and a poten-
tial lease agreement for the site to Ashland Town Council at an Aug. 17 work session. Details of the construction plans presented to council consisted of improved lighting and sound equipment, a new green room, a leveling of the theater area’s entrance and two new bathrooms near the entrance of the theater that are Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) see THEATER, pg. 19

Initially, the construction was intended to begin Oct. 1.

In addition to the $500,000 revitalization fund grant awarded to the theater by the DHCD, the Town of Ashland also has been putting aside its own funds for the theater gradually, in an effort to match the commonwealth. The Ashland Theater Foundation predicts that
$350,000 of the funds will be used for new lighting, sound and technical equipment such as a new powered screen. Under the DHCD’s conditions required in order for the theater to receive its grant,
the not-yet-chosen lessee will need to raise $75,000 from donations by Oct. 1 in addition that their use of the theater produces seven full-time jobs. The nonprofit organization approved to lease the
theater will need to provide proof of the collected donations as well as provide documentation that full-time work was created through the theater’s use in order for it to officially receive the grant.

Sheriff ’s Office will maintain high HCPS issues visibility as new school year begins reminder about attendance law
HANOVER – As the school year begins, the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office will maintain high visibility to ensure the safety of children being transported to and from school. With school buses, motorists, pedestrians, crossing guards, and cyclists added to the daily commute, motorists are reminded to be alert, slow down, and allow for extra travel time to ensure a safe start to the school year. Deputies will be actively enforcing all laws pertaining to school zone and bus safety. As a result, motorists are reminded that: School zone speed limits are reduced when the yellow lights are flashing. Bus safety: Yellow flashing lights indicate that the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. Motorists should slow down and prepare to stop their vehicles. Red flashing lights and extended stop arms indicate that the bus has stopped and that children are getting on

Drivers are required to stop for a school bus when they are headed towards it even when approaching from a cross street. Drivers are not required to stop when approaching a stopped school bus
when the roadways of the driver and the school bus are divided by a physical barrier or an unpaved area. “Please join us in our efforts to ensure this school year is safe for everyone,” Col. David R.

(Editor’s note: The following was submitted by Chris R. Whitley, public information officer, as a message from Hanover County Public Schools.) Dear Parents, guardians and students: One of the most important gifts we can give our children is a quality education. The schools in Hanover County are among the best in the nation. In order for students to take full advantage of the educational opportunities available to them in Hanover, they must attend school regularly, and in Virginia, attendance is mandatory. Students
must attend an educational program until they graduate or turn eighteen (18). Hanover County has always enforced the Virginia Compulsory Attendance Law. We want to make you aware that a renewed effort is being made in supporting students and families to comply with the law. This year, all absences will appear in PowerSchool as unexcused until a parent either calls the school office or sends a written note to provide a reason for the absence within three school days of the absence. see ATTENDANCE, pg. 30

Farm Service Agency: Protect milk production margins Staff Report news@mechlocal.com USDA Farm Service Agency (FSA) reminds dairy producers to enroll for 2017 coverage in the Margin Protection Program for Dairy (MPP-Dairy) by Sept. 30, 2016. The voluntary program, established by the 2014 Farm Bill, provides financial assistance to participating dairy producers when the margin – the difference between the price of milk and feed costs – falls below the coverage level selected by the producer. The Margin Protection Program gives participating dairy producers the flexibility to select coverage levels best suited for their operation. Enrollment began July 1 and ends on Sept. 30, 2016, for coverage in calendar year 2017. Participating farmers will remain in the program through 2018 and pay a minimum $100
administrative fee each year. Producers have the option of selecting a different coverage level during open enrollment each year. USDA has a web tool to help producers determine the level of coverage under the Margin Protection Program that will provide them with the strongest safety net under a variety of conditions. The online resource, available at www.fsa. usda.gov/mpptool, allows dairy farmers to quickly and easily combine unique operation data and other key variables to calculate their coverage needs based on price projections. Producers also can review historical data or estimate future coverage needs, based on data projections. The secure site can be accessed via computer, Smartphone or tablet 24 hours a day, seven days a week. To complete enrollment, producers must

L-D gets down to business against Tucker By Chip Knighton For The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – LeeDavis did what Lee-Davis does, what Lee-Davis wants to do, in its season opener against J.R. Tucker. Nathan Evans ran over and over again and eventually found the end zone twice. A veteran defense suffocated the Tucker offense. And a green quarterback got his feet wet in a 35-0 romp over the visiting Tigers on Thursday night. “You can’t win week 2 until you win week 1,” Lee-Davis coach Ryan Turnage said. “I’m proud of the way our kids played. We played hard, but we have room to get better. It’s a 10-week process.” The Confederates (1-0) took advantage of a specialteams miscue to jump out to a commanding early lead. The defense forced a three-and out after Evans scored on a short plunge, and the punt snap sailed over Justin Goode’s head, giving Lee-Davis a short field that led to the first touchdown pass of sophomore quarterback Zach Lass’s high school career. After Evans and Hayden Walsh did the grunt work, the sophomore executed an effective play-action fake and found Jalen Hargrove in the end zone for a 7-yard score and a 14-0 lead. That was all the Confederates

needed as the defense did its job. Tucker (0-1) threatened to score just once after Dae’shaun Hodges intercepted Lass in LeeDavis territory. That drive ended in a missed Bryant Martinez field goal, and the Confederates

responded by driving 80 yards in nine plays to set up Evans’ second touchdown of the night in the last minute of the first half. All told, Tucker tallied only 39 yards, with just 14 coming
on the ground. “We did exactly what we planned to do,” Evans said. “We planned all week to get a shutout and we got that done. We wanted to run the football and we wanted to get Zach Lass a
little experience.” Walsh and Jarel Braxton tacked on fourth-quarter touchdowns as the Confederates ran for 149 yards, with 72 coming from Evans on 21 carries. “We’ve got a great offensive
line, we have a bunch of great backs, and we just chip away,” Evans said. “Those two and threes [yard carries] start turning into four and fives, then eight and 10s, and we work down the field that way.” “That’s what we do,” Turnage said. “That’s what we’ve been doing. We were a bit more vertical last year in our passing game. We’re still going to be that way this year.” Lass was effective, if inconsistent, in his first start after taking over from Chase Mummau, now a walk-on at Virginia Tech. He passed for 126 yards, including the touchdown to Hargrove, the 25-yard strike to Parker that set up Evans’ first score and a 27-yard toss to Brandon Spencer on the last Lee-Davis scoring drive. On the downside, he threw the one interception and had a couple of other potential picks bounce off Tucker defenders’ hands. “He played fantastic tonight,” Evans said. “I could tell he was nervous before the game, but he played extremely well.” Chip Knighton can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.

Adrenaline boosts Atlee in win at Deep Run Michael Johnson, putting Deep Run on the board. Green rushed 12 times for 55 yards for Atlee, but was limping after the game. Clifton Woody had four rushes for 40 yards, but didn’t play in the second half. Atlee’s offense last year was among the area’s most pass-oriented. The Raiders played a no-huddle spread and scored points in bunches. The 2016 version is more balanced, uses some four-wide receiver sets and some I-formation sets. Clay Naff had two interceptions for the Raiders, and Queshon Baker returned a punt 63 yards to set up Young’s 1-yard touchdown. Atlee committed seven penalties for 55 yards, which Gray identified as the most disappointing part of the season opener. “But the kids competed,” Gray said. “They fought.” Eric Kolenich can be reached at ekolenich@timesdispatch. com.
By Eric Kolenich Richmond Times-Dispatch GLEN ALLEN -- As he rode the school bus to Deep Run for his first high school football game, Tyler Warren still felt jitters. Then he entered the game on Atlee’s third series, called his first snap, rushed 5 yards and was hit. At that moment, the nerves slipped away and adrenaline took over. Warren, a freshman quarterback, threw two touchdown passes and rushed for another as Atlee eased past Deep Run 31-6 on Thursday night. “That was a lot of fun,” Warren said. “It was a blur, really.” Warren and senior Connor Young alternated at quarterback. Warren’s first pass of his high school career was a 14-yard touchdown to Will Stockhausen. Later, Warren put a move on a defender and powered his way into the end zone for a 6-yard touchdown. As he got up, his teammates reminded Deep Run “He’s a freshman.” They say it as if they’re marveling at his ability at such a young age. He completed 7 of 9 passes for 90 yards and two touchdowns. Warren doesn’t mind the gentle teasing. He’s practiced with Atlee for months now, so he doesn’t feel like a freshman. He stands in the neighborhood of 6-foot-2, so he doesn’t look like a freshman, either. His talent is “eye-opening,” running back Chris Green said. Young completed 3 of 6 passes for 50 yards and threw an interception. He also rushed for a touchdown. Coach Matt Gray said he would evaluate the video of the two quarterbacks before deciding how to Warren wasn’t the only one debut. It was the first game for Randolph-Macon in the winter. approach Game 2. on the field Friday making a Gray, who joined Atlee from And it was Chad Hornik’s first

game as Deep Run’s coach. He spent the past four seasons at Thomas Jefferson. Deep Run’s triple-option offense sputtered most of the night. Quarterback Aaron Wright was the Wildcats’ most effective weapon. He rushed 19 times for 127 yards. But he completed just 8 of 17 passes for 56 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions. The Wildcats’ only substantial drive came in the final two minutes. Wright completed an 18-yard touchdown pass to

Generals dominate Hawks in season opener raced 70 yards for another score. “Coach tells us to read when they don’t block us,” Tyson said. “I retraced my steps, and the ball came right to me. “I wasn’t really thinking. In my mind, it was run fast as you can and score.” The Generals amassed 334 total yards (283 rushing, 51 passing). “When we got into a twoback set, they didn’t have and answer,” said Witt, the quarterback. “The O-line was getting after it. The running backs were making plays.” Weldon Bradshaw can be reached at sports@mechlocal. com.
By Weldon Bradshaw For The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – The utter jubilation among the Dinwiddie football contingent Friday night wasn’t so much for the eye-popping eight touchdowns the Generals laid on Hanover, but for the 18 points they grudgingly allowed. “Absolutely,” Billy Mills, Dinwiddie’s coach, said after his team’s 57-18 victory in a matchup of 4A East powers. “Our defense was definitely the star of this game. Our kids rose to the occasion. I’m real proud of them.” The Generals’ plan of action was basic. “(Hawks quarterback Clayton) Cheatham was the guy we had to stop,” Mills said. “The kid’s a beast. “I told them, ‘Look, we’re gonna stick three on him in one defense and two on him in another. The rest of you have to make the rest of them not beat us.’ Our D-line was outstanding. Total. Every one of them.” Cheatham, a 6-2, 220-pound senior bound for Virginia, still accounted for 317 yards of offense. His hard-fought 109 rushing yards came on 27 carries. He completed 14 of 33 passes, most under extreme duress, for 208 more yards. But the Generals intercepted him three times and forced a fumble, all of which led, directly or indirectly, to points. After a shaky first quarter, the Generals, 2-0 and No. 4 in The Times-Dispatch Top 10, unleashed their fury on the No. 10 Hawks (0-1). Tye Freeland’s pick set up a 1-yard touchdown run by Zyan Sturdivant at 9:49 of the second quarter. A Bryce Witt-to-K’Vaughan Pope pass after an errant snap

Tuxford shines, but Hawks fall to Powhatan By Billy Fellin Richmond Suburban News

POWHATAN – One thing is certain for the Hanover Hawks girls volleyball team. Kylie Tuxford can play some serious volleyball. Tuxford almost single-handedly got the Hawks on a double-digit run during their game against Powhatan on Aug. 29, but it wasn’t enough to take down the Indians. Hanover fell in straight sets 21-25, 23-25, 20-25. “It’s nice to come out and compete against a good team like Powhatan,” said Hawks coach Greg Knight. “We definitely didn’t play to our potential and I think it’ll take us a little while to play to our potential.” Hanover fought hard in all three sets against the Indians, a team that the Hawks swept twice last season, including in the Conference 20 championship game. In set one, the points came in short bursts for the Hawks, most notable, a 5-0 run late in the set to close the gap on the Indians when they were two

points away from winning the set. Set two was when Tuxford took over for Hanover, getting the Hawks out to a 10-3 lead with her prowess from the serving line and her ability to drive home kills consistently. Tuxford led the team with 21 kills. Knight said she’s going to be a key point of the offense this season. “We definitely look to Kylie to score a lot of points for us,” he said. “And to pick up balls on the back row for us. She’s definitely a real player.” But, it wasn’t enough as the Indians were able to climb out of that hole to tie the match at 14-14. The Hawks went on a twopoint run later in the frame to take a 20-19 lead, but Powhatan fought back to take the set by two. In the third set, Hanover played from behind early on, but battled to tie the game at 9-9 and then later at 17-17. But, service errors and unforced errors hurt the team and gave Powhatan the openings to get a lead and eventually

the win. Errors on the service line particularly hurt the Hawks in the match, as they committed 13 of them. Hanover’s team graduated quite a few seniors from last year’s squad, so the Hawks are looking to find their way in that vacuum of senior experience and leadership. While he has a freshman libero and sophomores at outside hitter and setter, Knight doesn’t believe it is a “rebuilding year” for Hanover. “I’ve been told a lot and had to have it go in one ear and out the other,” he said. “I think with the squad that I’ve got, sure, it might be rebuilding, but I still think we can be wildly successful.” Hanover participated in the Virginia Volleyball Classic over the Labor Day weekend before traveling to Midlothian on Sept. 7 and hosting Armstrong on Sept. 8.
