Auditorium renovations discussed HCSB workshop includes talks about projects at Lee-Davis, Patrick Henry By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND — In a Hanover County School Board workshop held earlier last month at The Crossings in Glen Allen, a majority of members reached consensus on two major projects, both of which have
been on the planning agenda for years. Renovation projects at Lee-Davis High School and Patrick Henry High School auditoriums will move forward through the normal CIP procedure in the 2018 budget process. Although no formal action was taken, the projects have the support of most

discuss future budget issues, among other items on a daylong agenda. “Basically, we discussed the auditorium projects and decided to put it in the CIP for the upcoming budget discussions,” Axselle said when reached by phone last week. “We haven’t approved anything, but I hope we will and it makes it through the process,” Axselle said. “It still has to go through the process. This has to go to the [Hanover County] Board of Supervisors and everything else.” Axselle summed up his statement by saying, “We’d like to see it done, but we have to make sure we can.” Axselle pointed to other pressing needs like technology that will impact upcoming budget discussions. The renovation projects were included in the 2017 CIP at an estimated cost of $600,000 for each project, but real cost estimates today are much higher to complete the revamps. Although bids were received this summer, they came in much higher than the estimates and no contract could be issued due to the additional costs. “The bids received exceeded the approved budgeted funds, so we were not able to move forward on the projects,” said Chris R. Whitley Hanover County Public Schools public information officer. “As a result, this was presented to the school board during their planning meeting on Sept. 16 for further consideration.” That $1.2 million has been budgeted but not allocated, according to Axselle, because no bid was accepted.
“I think that $1.2 million is in the budget but not allocated,” Axselle said. “I think the price will be higher, much higher.” Axselle said the board discussed ways of “downsizing” the project but, in the end, decided to maintain the current plans for both schools. “We want to do it right,” Axselle said. “We would like to do it. We want to do it, but it’s not done yet. We realize we’ve got to do some more planning and looking at the overall capital budget before we say yes and recommend it to the board of supervisors.” Whitley described the current status of the projects. “At this point, we are in a holding pattern until this process (2018 CIP) begins,” he said. Current estimates based on bids received for the project are substantially higher than original allocations. According to sources, costs associated with the Lee-Davis project are about $1.7 million and Patrick Henry is estimated at $1.6 million. Those estimates could be even higher once bids go out on the projects next year. At least one board member thinks it’s money well spent. “I think these projects are very much needed and we should do this,” Norman Sulser, Cold Harbor District representative, said. “It’s good for the school. It’s good for the students, drama, music, choral, parents and anybody who comes to an activity at those auditoriums. It’s way overdue and drastically needed.” Budget discussions for the 2017-2018 CIP plans are underway, and, once the school board approves a budget, the document is then submitted, reviewed, and approved by the board of supervisors. $1,000, not reported by the driver was reported in the 20000 block of Vontay Road.

Taking time to recognize what we do
American Spirit cannot be dimmed
By Melody Kinser Managing Editor National Newspaper Week is being observed Oct. 2-8, providing an opportunity for you, our readers, and even those of us who are employed in the business to reflect on the impact newspapers have had on our society as a whole for centuries. As your community source, we provide everything from government coverage to the introduction of newborn babies. If it’s a significant wedding anniversary or a newly engaged or just married couple, you’ll also find those within our pages. The best of our school system will be spotlighted frequently, as will the work of our board
of supervisors. We share the good and bad, because, regardless of the subject matter, it all boils down to writing about people and events that impact us. But, we like to be cheerleaders and share all the positives our county has to offer. That being said, sadly, we also have to report the tragedies that take place here. All in all, our commitment, as should be that of all newspapers of any integrity, is to provide you with all the news taking place in and around our communities so that you remain informed. If you’re left with questions, then we welcome your input and involvement in our publication. Our let-
ters to the editor forum is an open invitation. Newspapers are still alive and well, despite what naysayers may claim. You embrace your newspaper — and we couldn’t be more pleased. So, let’s take time this week to think about what this newspaper means in our community. Our goal is to be your source, and, again, we welcome your participation. It’s because of you and your right to know that we may take on the tough issues, but, along with that, we enjoy spotlighting the great people we call neighbors. To those of us who know nothing but newspaper work, the rewards are many — even when you get some ink on your hands.
Punishment today means taking the smartphone By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist Hardly a week passes at this household without someone losing their phone. I’m not talking about physically misplacing the device, although that also has happened a fair amount of time. No, I’m talking about phone privileges, and the loss of them as a disciplinary device. Many times, the infractions have no relationship with the phone, but the most severe pun-
ishments almost always involve what children today consider the death penalty. Few words carry such gravitas as “Let me have your phone,” and kids squirm more trying to avoid its capture than the bodily contortions we performed evading the swinging switch. And taking away the phone has a much different meaning than it did in past generations. Having been banned from phone use as a teenager for the simplest of offenses, I can assure you

today’s phone use is not your grandmother’s version. In the past, monitoring phone use was a much more precise process, and parents thought nothing of picking up an extension and listening to a questionable conversation. Parents did not hesitate to limit usage on the home’s landline, and utilizing your phone privileges at prohibited times usually resulted in a loss of phone usage. Today, taking away the phone represents the most effective method of discipline for many parents, and the
most severe form of punishment to the youths who depend on them as an important cog in their social circles. Once homework is completed around here, several conversations begin in different locations, all of them involving school friends in a group setting. That’s right. Most of the calls are of the conference variety and matters that once were discussed in the school hallways are now discussed in group phone calls. see SMARTPHONE, pg. 8

On Sunday, Sept. 11, at 2 p.m. in Hanover, Engine Company 10 gathered with members of the community to keep a solemn promise, “We will never forget” to those that served unto death on that fateful day 15 years ago. America was “Pearl Harbored” one could say in New York City, Washington, D.C., and rural Pennsylvania on that crisp autumn morning! The same character of the American Founding Spirit was once again tested. From Plymouth Rock to Gettysburg to the Twin Towers, evil has tested the resolve of the American Patriot Spirit. The Spirit of America has not changed! An attack upon the American way of life was the most murderous act ever on American homeland. Thousands of innocent lives were lost, but something else happened. More was lost than those precious lives. These observations are not to take away from the pain of the loss of life but to hallow and honor our America. There has been good accounting of this terrible event from facts and stats by local news reporters. I would like to invite the readers to take a look at the emotions brought on such a day. We do not live in the vacuum of one event at one time but the sum of many things shape our emotions surrounding the 9/11 remembrances/events and memorials. What did I feel at that moment on 9/11/16? The story of sacrifice always brings a sense of pride to those associated. While I did not give of myself directly on 9/11, I can honor with pride those that did give so much. Were there others having the touching of deep painful emotion there at Engine Company 10? There was gratitude for being a part of somesee LETTERS, pg. 8

school dilemmas seem to have changed little in decades. But, the phone has assumed a much larger role in today’s youthful society that it ever represented in the past, and the removal of usage is a serious offense — at least in the minds of the recipients. So, whenever it becomes necessary to revoke those vital phone privileges, life changes around here and the unusual
silence and long faces that accompany that phenomenon are not easy to ignore. For example, today we have one phone and one iPod on restricted use or lockdown, as the kids like to call it. The offender’s mood is noticeably more subdued, and the agony of a child without a personal device is written all over her face … but it doesn’t stop there.
“Dad, I feel like I’m dead inside my body,” she said. “Why?” I nonchalantly answered. “Because I don’t have a life without my phone,” she whined back. I tried to explain there is much more to life than giddy conference calls, but nothing I could say even came close to rectifying her dismay. “How will I stay in touch
with the world?” she said as she walked away. I’m not sure on the connection question, but, two hours later, she was positioned on the living room floor with colored pencils and pens scattered. It seems the loss of the connectivity had inspired her to draw some pretty amazing pictures. “Look what you found by losing your phone — your creativity,” I quickly said.
“I have to find something to do since I don’t have a phone and none of my friends know where I am or how I am doing.” There’s a lesson to be learned here, but I’m not brave enough to elaborate on the consequences. Tomorrow, everyone is back to full service when it comes to personal devices … and life returns to the new normal.

The consoling pats on shoulders of each other seemed to say “We will get through this today together.” These acts give hope for the future to those left behind. The loved ones that got up
that fateful morning, 9/11/01, to the call of service were many who never returned alive. I could feel their anguish and deep pain from the loss of the innocent loved ones that answered the call on that beautiful fall day, which would turn into the most murderous day in our history. I could feel the bewilderment of those that had been marked by 9/11 as they realized that a great evil has visited our nation. Unanswered questions: Why us? Why now? What did we do wrong? Why did my loved one have to die? The feeling of uncertainty and anxiety about the future was unsettling in my soul. The undercurrents in almost every sphere of our lives are undercutting the traditions of our beloved nation. The family, faith, educational institutions and governments were challenged by a foreign ideology. Now terror and uncertainty found a place in our hearts as we all respectfully reflected on 15 years ago and now the events of today. This evil of which I speak has found empathy and a home in our beloved America. Yes, this evil has been embraced by those born under the Red, White and Blue. There is a sickness in the soul of our nation that just grows like a cancer which can only be healed with a spiritual awakening. As is seen in the current
condition of decline, accelerated in our nation, the saddest of all truth is we have rejected the medicine for the soul of our nation. Consequently, we grow weaker daily. Most surveys show that 70% of the respondents say the nation is going in the wrong direction. So, under the cover of Old Glory, the flag, the symbol of our nation with all the traditions of respect, honor and duty, the true American Patriots, we all did stand to honor the noble service of our countrymen. Firefighters, EMS, military, law enforcement are all the face of our nation in noble causes for righteousness. The flag and the Constitution are the only items to which we as Americans make a pledge of allegiance. Patriots always stand, salute, and never bow or kneel to the evil forces that assault America. Patriots find the way to truth without forced participation or infringement on the rights of others. To disrespect others is to disrespect yourself. The context for the story has been established. On this fall day, at Engine Company 10, in Hanover, I found myself reflecting on things which are true, honest, just, hopeful and of good report as embodied in our beloved America. I hear the roll call of service: Henry, Davies, Jefferson, Washington, Hale, Douglas,
Henry, Mason, Madison, Jones, and countless others, all who gave up everything, their lives and fortunes, to birth this noble experiment of self-government that we call the United States of America. Frenchman Alexis Tocqueville would write: “America is great because its people are good.” I think he was correct! Oscar Walker Hanover
views appeared to approach those of socialism, and even communism. I might add that as a young man in New York City, we often ridiculed the communist speakers in Union Square. It was easier to tend toward a decision when you read her remarks that state we must change our long-held cultural and religious views. She is a firm supporter of Planned Parent and Women’s Health (including abortion). During the term of the present president we have experienced the passage of a health bill that includes so many items that are repugnant to a person of faith. Some laws also may be included in that scenario. In addition to abortion, nuns are even required to include abortion, contraception in their health plan for employees. Our laws now recognize gay marriage, transgender bathrooms, are dictated, etc., and all of this with some of our tax dollars. I am proud to be pro-life (life begins at conception and continues until natural death). St. Thomas stated that any law that violates the moral law is no law at all. It is appalling that we have adopted the new philosophy and theology of “moral relativism.” I await the opinions of the other candidate on this matter prior to be final decision.

Moral relativism appalls reader Since the 1990s progressive legislation has been slowly introduced into our laws and has infected our rights. During Franklin Delano Roosevelt’s president, a New Jersey tailor, whose shop was four block from where I lived, was sentenced to jail and fined for charging 35 cents instead of the NRA (National Recovery Administration) stipulated charge of 40 cents. The reason for this letter is that this 88-year-old former school administrator, teacher in every grade from 6 through 12, in addition to college courses, with degrees in theology, philosophy and foreign languages, feels obliged to tentatively conclude his decision about one candidate. In the course of my studies, I discovered this candidate was a fan of Sal Alinsky, a far left, community organizer whose

Students from Hanover County Public Schools recently participated in the inaugural session of the Hanover Regional Governor’s School for Career and Technical Advancement (HRGSCTA) at the University of Richmond. HRGS-CTA is a regional three-week summer residential program for gifted CTE students. Thirty-eight students from 22 school divisions participated. The students visited regional businesses, gained insight from guest speakers, and participated in valuable hands-on experiences. HCPS was awarded a $100,000 grant from the Virginia Department of Education to develop the program, which was made possible by legislation sponsored by Del. Chris Peace, R-97. Chris R. Whitley, Hanover County Public Schools public information officer, said, “It is intended to serve as a model that can be replicated throughout the state to meet the ever-growing demand for career-ready students.� Madison Tunstall, senior, Atlee High School; Jonathan Banton, junior; Lee-Davis High School; Maya Baker, junior, Patrick Henry High School; Evan Hughes, senior, Patrick Henry High School; Alycia Sanders, junior, Atlee High School; Davan Guyton, senior), LeeDavis High School; and Taylor Keeler senior, Atlee High School.

HCPS issues reminder about attendance policy (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. Acceptable excuses include illness of the student, serious illness in the family which necessitates the absence of the student, death in the family, and special or recognized religious holidays. A written statement by a physician or other professional documentation may be required when a student is absent more than 10 days during the school year, whether excused or unexcused. In accordance with the law, the following steps will be followed if students accumulate unexcused absences: After five unexcused absences, parents will be contacted by a school administrator to jointly develop a plan to prevent further absences. After six unexcused absences, a school conference may be held with parent/s, the school
social worker, and appropriate building staff in an effort to problem solve any continuing attendance difficulties, challenges, or barriers. After seven unexcused absences, the school social worker may refer the case for potential court involvement through the Hanover Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. For clarification, the WHITLEY compulsory attendance law is separate from Hanover County’s Policy requiring a waiver for course credit at the high school level or promotion in elementary and middle school. When an elementary student misses twenty school days, whether excused
or unexcused, it is required the student who has accrued the absences apply for a waiver. At the secondary level, when a student misses ten blocks of a single block class, s/he is required to apply for the waiver to receive course credit. School staff members are available to help if students encounter particular barriers to attendance. School social workers and school counselors may assist families identify community resources when appropriate. They can also discuss student needs related to chronic health problems. Please contact school staff before significant attendance difficulties develop. We wish you a successful and happy school year, and we look forward to seeing you at school regularly! For questions pertaining to information contained in this letter, please contact James Carrigan at email jcarrigan@hcps.us.

ASHLAND/WESTERN HANOVER | Also serving the communities of Montpelier, Beaverdam, Rockville and Doswell
Rockville center remains heart of the community By Melody Kinser Managing Editor ROCKVILLE – For 50 years, the Rockville Community Center has served as a hub of activity for residents and folks from neighboring areas. Thanks to the Rockville Ruritan Club, a dream became a reality in August 1966. The process of raising money started in May of that year with the incorporation of the Rockville Center Board. That August saw the building completed and, based on research done by Nicole Rada, that also was when the Ruritan Club organized. She found in the minutes from a November 1962 meeting: “Our achievements may have seemed slow and laborious at times, however, when compared to other similar undertakings, our record should compare favorably. Our future success will be assured only by our imagination and

The Rockville Community Center continues to be “the place” for residents to gather for a variety of activities. It has been serving the rural community for 50 years.
willingness to pursue the opportunities available.” When the building was completed, Rada said, the following synopsis was provided: “It is the hope of the Board of Directors and the members of the Center that our building and

our grounds will be used for the betterment of our community, for the molding of better citizens, for the healthy growth of our teenagers in their physical, social, and cultural life, for our very young, and for our senior citizens. With
the same wonderful cooperation of all members and the community, and with much work and planning on the part of all of us, this Center can be one of the focal points in this area.” “These quotes were particularly poignant to us as they still reflect not only the same goals, but the same work and effort by many people to achieve those goals,” Rada said. Julie Finnegan recently joined with Rada in talking about the center and its significance in their community. Since Rockville was considered a rural area in the 1960s, residents discussed the fact that “there was nothing to do.” While a community at that time was of a size that “everybody knew everybody,” there a consensus among residents that it was time to pursue some type of entertainment arena. Rada and Finnegan said that minutes refer to see ROCKVILLE, pg. 17

Effective Tuesday, Oct. 4, the speed limit zones on Thompson Street were changed. Most notably, the 25 mile per hour speed limit zone at the eastern end of Thompson Street, which currently lies between James Street and the railroad tracks, was expanded westward to John Street. The 35- and 45 mph speed limit zones also were altered to accommodate the change and allow for a smooth decrease in speed when entering the town from the west. Police Chief Doug Goodman said, “Please be alert to these new changes when traveling through the area!”

Donald Little, center, treasurer of the Ashland Lions Club, recently presented a check for $1,000 to Troy Yenser, treasurer of the Hanover Education Foundation. Also on hand for the presentation was Margaret Hill, executive director of HEF. The club made the donation to assist the Foundation in its support of Hanover County Public Schools. The Ashland Lions Club, after assisting the local community for over 50 years, has dissolved due to loss of membership. Little said, “A huge thank you goes out to the Ashland Lions Club for all their support in making the Ashland community a better place to live.” Hill added, “The HEF also thanks the club for supporting Hanover County’s students and teachers.”

a woman’s club without stating any formal organization. “I think they were the driving force,” Rada said. “And I think that they got their husbands and the Ruritans and the men in the community to kind of back the idea.” Once incorporated, the women said the community “really started raising money.” Their fundraisers were pretty much the same as today: carnivals, bake sales, dances, a cookbook sale, community dinners, drama performances. Rada and Finnegan said “What became the big thing, the big moneymaker, was they had a food stand at the [Virginia] State Fair and it became so big that they ended

up with the only brick building at the State Fair — like a concession [stand] that held 150 people.” They described it as a “standalone structure. It was known as the people of the Rockville community center food stand. Anybody who ate there, everybody who worked the State Fair volunteered their time.” From what Rada and Finnegan have learned in their ongoing research is that the fundraising started in 1962 and continued for what they said was “a pretty long time.” In 1966, the community had enough money to build the center. As a bonus, land was donated by residents. “People in the community owned the acreage and donated that for this,” the women said. For Rada and Finnegan, housing for children and families now living in crowded, dangerous motels. For more information on this benefit night, or other
going back in time to discover the center’s beginnings has been enlightening with the knowledge of the time and volunteer efforts involved. “People wanted it so bad that they really were willing to do whatever it took.” As the goal of building the center became a reality, members of the board of directors agreed that it “be used for the betterment of our community.” After 50 years of use and having a key role in the community, the center, as it had aged, “kind of started to wobble a little bit,” the women said. “So, two years ago, the community joined together and raised $100,000 to replace the gym floor.” Thanks to the consistent community support, Rockville see ROCKVILLE, pg. 18

has what Rada and Finnegan described as “a thriving basketball program that’s growing and has been growing the last year and a half.” Last year, $21,000 was raised to resurface the tennis courts and that was with the assistance from the USDA. We were in a national publication last year; we got $6,000 from the USDA toward that resurfacing. This year we were given from an anonymous $100,000 to renovate our pool that needed a lot of help.” According to Rada and Finnegan, it was imperative that the pool be repaired, because of the pumps and the pipes. The total for the renovation project is $200,000, but that $100,000 serves as “kind of the core; there are some fun things we want to add to it. We actually want to do some cosmetic changes as well so we’re trying to raise $50,000 for that and we’re doing some matching dollars.” The Rockville community is in the process “of a huge fundraising campaign to get that $50,000.” Rada and Finnegan encouraged the help of corporate sponsors and individuals. Those wishing to help may do so by going to the website, rfinnegan35@ hotmail.com. Finnegan serves as president of the board. The two said they weren’t sure about an exact date as to the pool’s installation, but thought it was in the 1970s. “It’s really such a big part of it [the community center]. The pool looks really good, with phase 1 of renovations. There is a swim team with 89 kids. We’re doing things like Water Buddy, and that’s a program for kids with disabilities to do kind of water therapy.” Water Buddy was new at the center this year. The program can cost hundreds of dollars, but, due to the commitment of so many, those who help are

“willing to give their time for little or no money.” The Rockville Community Center does take dues for pool memberships every year and also rents the hall for wedding receptions and banquets. The gym also is available to rent. The baseball field is rented to softball leagues. Donations and volunteer work are integral to the success of the center. “We really kind of depend on our community members to do things like, for instance, the concession stand. There’s a full concession stand with a grill top and it needed to be painted and so somebody just painted it. Financially from the membership is what keeps the lights on,” Rada and Finnegan added. They noted that money can become an issue to maintain a place that size in a rural community. The gymnasium has a full basketball court, two tennis courts, a swimming pool and a baseball field, as well as a community center that hosts weddings, graduation parties and birthday parties. With fundraising efforts continuing, Rada and Finnegan have a goal of renovating the center and returning it to the condition it was 50 years ago. It’s so vital to the community in that it is there “to give a family fun environment for our
kids, family, adults and seniors if they want to go swimming. We have adult swim three days a week.” The heart of the center to Rada and Finnegan is bringing “the community back together.” Part of their goal now, which they said was true in 1966, is to bring the center “full circle, not just bringing the community in, but also reaching out from the center. We did make a connection when we had a spring fling with the Rockville Fire Department. That was a good connection to have between the community center and the Rockville Fire Department. We kind of want to bridge that back together. Hanover Fire-EMS was kind of excited about reconnecting that relationship.” Rada and Finnegan said the Rockville Ruritans continue to be a major part of the center. They make Brunswick Stew and host the Santa Breakfast. Children in the community also play a role by volunteering at the pool. The women said, “You do this because this is yours and you take care of it because it’s yours — that multigenerational community.” “When we’re sitting at the pool and they are going off the diving board they all know each other. I love the fact that my kids have that,” they said.

Fire-EMS to residents: check age of smoke alarms HANOVER – Every smoke alarm has an expiration date: What’s yours? Battalion Chief Jason Williams said Hanover Fire-EMS urges all residents to know how old their smoke alarms are, and to replace them every 10 years Does your home have a smoke alarm? According to the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA), the answer is likely yes. NFPA research shows that most American homes have at least one. But do you know how old your smoke alarms are? If you’re like most people, you’re probably not so sure. A recent survey conducted by NFPA revealed that only a small percentage of people know how old their smoke alarms are, or how often they need to be replaced. That lack of awareness is a concern for Hanover Fire-EMS and NFPA, along with fire departments throughout the country, because smoke alarms don’t last forever. “Time and again, I’ve seen the life-
saving impact smoke alarms can have in a home fire, but I’ve also seen the
concerted effort to educate Hanover County residents about the overall
tragedy that can result when smoke alarms aren’t working properly,” Chief Jethro Piland of Hanover Fire-EMS said. “That’s why we’re making a
importance of smoke alarms, and that they do have a life limit.” NFPA 72, National Fire Alarm Code®, requires smoke alarms be
replaced at least every 10 years, but because the public is generally unaware of this requirement, many homes have smoke alarms past their expiration date, putting people at increased risk. As the official sponsor of Fire Prevention Week for more than 90 years, NFPA is promoting this year’s Fire Prevention Week campaign, “Don’t Wait -- Check the Date! Replace Smoke Alarms Every 10 Years,” to better educate the public about the critical importance of knowing how old their smoke alarms are and replacing them once they’re 10 years old. Fire Prevention Week is Oct. 9-15. The Ashland Volunteer Fire Company, Hanover Fire-EMS Station 1, is hosting and open house from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 15, at 501 Archie Cannon Drive in Ashland in support of Fire Prevention Week and this year’s campaign. The event will include food and drinks, live demonstrations, games,
and fun for all ages. Through this educational, family-oriented event, residents can learn more about the importance of having a working smoke alarms. To find out how old your smoke alarm is and its expiration date, simply look on the back of the alarm where the date of manufacture is marked. The smoke alarm should be replaced 10 years from that date (not the date of purchase). The Hanover Fire-EMS Department also said smoke alarms should be tested monthly, and that batteries should be replaced once a year or when they begin to chirp, signaling that they’re running low. Anyone requiring special assistance with smoke alarms should contact the Hanover Fire-EMS Department at 804-365-6195. If you live outside of Hanover County, you can call the Metro Richmond Smoke Alarm Hotline at 1-888-537-5967.

VCU, Wade family announce arena naming rights deal “We really believe in the vision of the department, and specifically as it relates to basketball. Our financial support is a way for us to demonstrate our belief in VCU athletics and VCU basketball. And we strongly believe in the scholarships it will provide to help students excel academically; preparing them to succeed in life.” Said VCU athletic director Ed McLaughlin: “The generosity of the entire Wade family is humbling and inspiring. Jeff and Janet have shown incredible philanthropy in the central Virginia community and the naming of the E.J. Wade Arena is the perfect example. “This gift will have a direct impact on our student-athletes’ experience and development at VCU. We love having the E.J. Wade family involved with the Rams and we look forward to a long relationship.” E.J. Wade Construction was founded in 1991. In 2013, the Wades created the E.J. Wade Foundation, a nonprofit that specializes in various philanthropic ventures, including support for orphanages in Niger, disaster preparedness and relief, as well as
RICHMOND — VCU announced a 10-year, $2.75 million naming-rights deal Thursday with Mechanicsville-based business owners Jeff and Janet Wade to rename the arena inside the Stuart C. Siegel Center the E.J. Wade Arena. The deal replaces VCU’s expired arrangement with Verizon, which had provided $165,000 annually, according to VCU. The Wades, owners and founders of E.J. Wade Construction and the E.J. Wade Foundation, have also pledged additional donations as part of this agreement that will push their overall financial commitment to VCU athletics to $4.05 million over the length of the contract, the school said. “VCU is a very special place to me and my family, with four of my children having graduated from the university,” Jeff Wade said in a statement. “As a family, we owe a lot of our success to VCU. Basketball has become one of our passions, and we feel fortunate to have been able to develop a very good relationship with the current athletics department and men’s basketball coaching staffs.

Patriots earn first win over Hawks in years By Chip Knighton For The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – An unbeaten team running roughshod over a winless team might not move the needle in a lot of matchups. But the stakes were different when Patrick Henry visited Hanover for Friday night’s Peanut Bowl. Travious Tyler tossed three touchdown passes as the Patriots secured their first win over the Hawks in a decade, 417 on a soggy, rain-soaked field following a storm that caused the postponement of the AtleeHighland Springs matchup just down Route 301. “Most of our kids were barely up to my knee the last time we beat them, so I don’t know that they were fired up,” Patrick Henry coach Bryan Davis said. “It’s the next game. We didn’t put any more credence in this game than we do any other.” Hanover (0-5) kept things pretty close until the last few minutes of the second quarter, when Terrance Oxendine fielded a punt just inside his own 30. He cut over to his team’s sideline, then reversed field, moving backward in the process, and turned the corner in front of the Hanover bench and outraced several Hawks defenders for a 72-yard touchdown and a 14-0 lead. The Patriots (5-0) weren’t done with their first-half out-

put yet. They forced a Hanover punt before Hunter Hart’s 39yard completion to Joshua Guerrero put them at the 18yard line, within the range of kicker Aaron Martinez Moreno, who trotted out to kick with 2.9 seconds remaining. He wouldn’t get to kick.

Patrick Henry took a timeout, and when the teams returned to the field, it was the Patrick Henry offense that lined up. Tyler lofted a fade to receiver Kaleb Smith, who outjumped Hawks cornerback Eddie Robinson for his second touchdown of the day.
“We practiced that all summer long,” Smith said. “I knew I had the height on the guy.” The Patriots ran the same play two snaps in a row, with Tyler’s pass sailing out of Smith’s reach on the first attempt. “It was right on the edge of what Aaron could do,” Davis
said. “With the field conditions, we certainly had a change of heart. We saw that the mismatch was 6-foot-3, and if Travious had thrown it better on the first one, it probably would have been a touchdown. Travious
ASHLAND – The Hawks, riding the onetwo punch of seniors Robert Martin and Ward Wilkinson, edged a tough Monacan team to claim its first Conference 20 golf championship at Hanover Country Club on Sept. 26. Martin shot an evenpar 71 to claim medalist honors and Wilkinson came in at 1-over 72 to lead the Hawks to the conference title. Along with Jack Proctor’s 83 and Christian Dyer’s 84, the Hawks scored 310, eight strokes ahead of the Chiefs. Hanover head coach Chris Pace said Martin’s outing was the performance of a lifetime. “Career low – what a great day for it,” Pace said. “He’s never shot even par, see HANOVER, pg. 33

Confederates say ‘Lights out’ to Armstrong Even the Lee-Davis defense found its way into the end zone when Josh Rice picked a Wildcat pass and returned it 35 yards for another touchdown. Armstrong (0-5) was led by quarterback Jacqueal Thomas with 11 carries for 124 yards – including a 79-yard scamper for the Wildcats’ only score. Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.
By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Friday was the night that the lights went out at Lee-Davis. But for outmanned Armstrong, the lights had gone out long before the stadium went dark with a little less than four minutes remaining in the game. Lee-Davis, led by Nathan Evans with 176 total rushing and receiving yards and two touchdowns, held a 54-6 advantage, so – after a discussion with officials on the field – the game was called to a close and players and fans began to file out of the stadium in the dark. The game was originally scheduled to be played at Armstrong, but was moved to Lee-Davis because of field condition on the Wildcats’ home field, and the start time postponed until 8 p.m. Even after everyone had arrived at LeeDavis, there was some doubt they could get the game in there with the heavy rain that was still falling until shortly before the original game time. After an inspection of the field about an hour before the new game time, the decision was made to go. Players who had been dressed out for quite some time waiting for a decision, had to get in game mode. “We were just sitting in the locker room, ready to go, and just had to keep this mentality that, ‘We’re going to get this game in. We’re going to get this game in. We’ve got to get ready and stay ready,” said Lee-Davis running back Hayden Walsh. “Obviously, the scoreboard showed that we stayed ready throughout that time.” Walsh carried the ball seven times for 33 yards, but those carries were consequential: two of those were for Lee-Davis

touchdowns. He was one of eight Confederate running backs to get the ball and one of six to score. He said the ability to advance regardless of who has the ball was a testament to the players up front. “I think when you get so many backs carrying the ball, it’s a testament to our line,” Walsh said. “They’re doing a phenomenal job when you can give the ball to four or five different running backs who all find success. That’s speaking volumes of the line.” Lee-Davis head coach Ryan Turnage said it is important to get good outings from a diversity of backs. “They’re always one play away from being a starter,” Turnage said. “The more opportunities they can get to get in games is just going to help
us down the road. … We’ve got a tough stretch coming. If we can play with six backs, that’s what we’ll do.” Turnage also said it was important for the Confederates to have a better outing than they had the previous week in a 31-19 loss at Varina. “We wanted to just play better than we did. We played really bad last week – not to take anything away from Varina. They came out and beat us,” Turnage said. “We watched the film and there are a lot of things we have to improve on. That was our goal tonight.” Turnage also didn’t want to take anything away from Group 3A Armstrong – the smallest school in the Capital District. “The Armstrong kids played hard. You can expect them to play hard,” he said. “They’re just
… They’re outmanned.” Evans led Lee-Davis (4-1) with 11 rushes for 121 yards and a 4-yard touchdown and two receptions for 55 yards and a 32-yard score. Walsh’s two scores came on runs of 2 and 7 yards. Jarel Braxton led the pack
of other Confederate backs with five carries for 93 yards – including a 76-yard touchdown. Jamir Johnson had six carries for 62 yards and another touchdown. Zachary Green had just two carries for 11 yards, but one of those was for a 3-yard score.

long. That was equally impressive [as Martin’s score] – the fact that he was sick and still shot second.” Even Dyer was struggling health-wise, yet posted a number worthy of scoring. While the Hawks were exceeding despite a variety of energy-draining ailments, perennial powerhouse Midlothian had an untimely off day. “Midlo just had a bad day,” Pace said. “In fact, their best

Patriots, Raiders win field hockey contests By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor ASHLAND – Atlee took advantage of a pair of secondhalf goals and Patrick Henry withstood a furious secondhalf attack to emerge victorious from cross-county field hockey contests on Sept. 26. The Raiders, visiting at LeeDavis overcame a scoreless first half against a determined Confederate team to win 2-0. The Patriots had to defend an early lead to fend off visiting Hanover 3-0. “We’re pretty competitive against each other, so it was pretty back and forth the whole game” Atlee head coach Alyssa Farling said of the Raiders’ rivalry against Lee-Davis. “There was no letup on either end. It’s a pretty good rivalry. I think both teams come into it pretty keyed up.” Farling said improved communication and more energetic attacks was key. “They were communicating pretty well in the first half,” Farling said. “We’ve done better with that recently – and really just pressing more on offense, making sure that midfield and backs were moving up so that we were playing more offensively.” Atlee’s first score came on a cross from Grace Bailey to Katelyn Spain in the circle. The other came on a breakaway by

Faith Anna. Patrick Henry’s Victoria Watts scored a pair of goals and Molly Enright added another to lead the Patriots to their win. Head coach Abbie Rossman said the Patriots have worked to be more aggressive on offense. “We’ve worked on that the last two weeks,” Rossman said.
“We’ve had our opportunities in front of the net, so at practice we just crash the pads, crash the pads and start giving consequences for missed balls. That got their attention real quick, and – whatever incentive it takes – I’m proud of them for working this hard.” Rossman said she expected
an aggressive push from the Hawks. “We knew it wasn’t going to be an easy game, but we played our game,” she said. “We did what we set out to do. Our game is a lot of passing and movement. We don’t like to possess the ball very much. … When we were able to do that,
in the fourth. Hanover quarterback Clayton Cheatham – wearing teammate Ben Mahone’s No. 21 jersey after his own No. 10 was torn on a tackle – tallied his team’s lone score on an 11-yard keeper early in the final period. Guerrero didn’t take long to answer Cheatham’s touchdown, bouncing right to get to the edge and scoring from 55 yards
out on just the fourth play of the drive. He carried nine times for 105 yards, with Hart adding 83 yards on 12 carries. “I kept slipping, but mud doesn’t stop me from making plays,” Guerrero said. Parker Davis had a gamehigh 109 yards receiving for the Patriots, including a 32-yard, first-quarter catch-and-run
touchdown toss from Tyler. Cheatham led Hanover with 70 yards passing and 61 rushing, both team highs. Chip Knighton can be reached at sports@mechlocal.com.

Hanover quarterback Clayton Cheatham will play for James Madison, he announced on social media Saturday. In June, the 6-foot-2, 210-pound senior said he would walk on at Virginia. He later reopened his recruitment. Cheatham’s older brother, Deane, played for JMU. Deane was named secondteam all-CAA at tight end in 2015 as a senior. Clayton Cheatham was named second-team AllMetro as a sophomore. He rushed for 152 yards per game that year. He missed much of his junior season with an injury.

went to press. Midlothian’s top five golfers and Dinwiddie’s Carson Durham advanced to the regional as individuals. Region 5A North ASHBURN – Atlee seniors Timmy Shields and Erica Whitehouse qualified for the Virginia High School League Group 5A state championships after posting a 75 and 77, respectively, in the Region 5A North tournament at Brambleton Golf Club Wednesday. The Raiders just missed qualifying for the state tournament as a team by two strokes. Tuscarora won the Region 5A North championship with a 310, followed by Halifax (311) and Atlee (313). Shields will play in the 5A North championships at Magnolia Green Golf Club
in Mosely on Monday and Tuesday. Whitehouse will play instead in the VHSL Girls Open championships at International Golf Club in Fairfax on Oct. 24-25. This is Shields’ first trip to the state tournament in his Raiders career. “He’s feeling good,” said Atlee head coach Steve Thompson. “His stroke average for the year is about +1. That’s over all of the rounds he’s played, so he’s been playing solid all year long.” Conference 11 HENRICO – Lee-Davis’ golf season came to an end in the Conference 11 championships at Belmont Golf Course on Sept. 26. The Confederates finished fifth among the eight teams competing. Deep Run won the team championship with a 311, just edging Mills Godwin (313). Mills Godwin’s Diana Domenech claimed the indi-
vidual championship with a 74. Both the Wildcats and Eagles advanced to the Region 5A South championships last Monday at Newport News Golf Club at Deer Run. Conference 33 WILLIAMSBURG – King William’s No. 1 golfer Taylor Hubbard got off to a rough start in the Conference 33 golf championship at Kiskiack Golf Club on Sept. 27. All golfers battled the miserable weather that got worse toward the middle of the tournament’s 18 holes, but Hubbard was battling his swing on the first six holes, carding four bogeys and one double-bogey. But the unflappable freshman tweaked his swing, birdied the seventh hole and played even par for all but one hole the rest of the way to the clubhouse to post a 6-over 78 and claim the conference individual championship. “I certainly didn’t think I’d
MECHANICSVILLE – Someone’s record was destined to be spoiled when Patrick Henry’s boys volleyball team traveled to Atlee Tuesday night. With two unbeaten teams meeting, someone had to lose. Fortunately for the hosts, they sent the visitors away with the loss in a hard fought 25-23, 25-22, 25-27, 25-23 contest. “The first games were back and forth. We just pulled away at the end,” said Atlee head coach Randy Jones. “We finally separated at the end and made a few good plays. That got us the first two games. The third game, we had the opportunity
be near the top,” Hubbard said. “I was just trying to help out my team and finish out the back nine. … The whole goal today was for the whole team to make it to region, especially for our senior, Jacob [Bernoski].” The Cavaliers finished third among the four teams with enough golfers to post team scores and failed to qualify as a team for the Region 2A East championships at Heritage Oaks Golf Course in Harrisonburg Monday, but they will send Hubbard, Bernoski (93) and another freshman, Austin Riley (108). Hubbard, who hit a growth spurt between his eighth-grade and freshman seasons, has struggled with his swing offand-on all season, but he has demonstrated an ability to diagnose and fix problems as they arise. He did so again in the Conference tournament. “I felt like I was getting quick in the transitions from the top of the swing,” Hubbard said. “So
to end it on three free balls in a row and we just didn’t execute and that let them back in it. They took advantage of it and took us to four.” Atlee struggled to put the Patriots away in the fourth game, but managed to prevent a fifth game. Patrick Henry head coach Michael Townsend said the Patriots came out a bit tentative in the first two games. “We came out super-skittish,” Townsend said. “I think we had the mind set of we wanted to beat them so bad, but we didn’t know how to do it on the court.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.

I slowed that down a little bit and started fleshing some balls and hitting my drives better. It worked – 37 on the back [nine] is pretty good.” King William head coach Jay Blanton enjoyed seeing Hubbard work through the day. “It was special to watch him kind of battle,” Blanton said.
