STOPS AT EVERY HOME IN TOWN

Residents still sharing concerns about rail plan ASHLAND – The forward-moving high-speed rail proposal took center stage at last week’s regular meeting of Ashland Town Council, with the term “faster rail” seeming to be a more appropriate title by the time the session wrapped up.

The rail dominated citizen comments at the Tuesday, Oct. 18, meeting. Items that aren’t necessarily on the designated agenda may be brought to the council’s attention during that time.

Sheila Tompkins, a lifelong resident of the 23005 zip code and a member of the Families Under The Rail (FUTR), approached council to emphasize the need for unity among the town, its citizens

and the residents of neighboring Hanover County who live in the “western bypass” area ahead of the upcoming public commenting periods surrounding the ongoing process.

The western bypass is an area west of Ashland’s town limits that the Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) have designated as one of the potential sites for construction.

According to its website, FUTR is a nonprofit organization formed by citizens, private property owners, business owners and elected officials who have been “thrown under the rail.” Their purpose is based upon a group of community members sharing a core belief of combating eminent domain for private use, and their oppo-

Theater exceeds goal; town says bye to Hartgrove

By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND — The Ashland Theater Foundation has raised $95,000 as plans continue for the theater’s future. Clark Mercer of ATF made the major announcement during last Thursday evening’s farewell party for outgoing Town Manager Charles Hartgrove.

Fundraising for the theater exceeded the original goal, which was $75,000.

Community donations are leading to the success of the theater’s long-term lease with the Town of Ashland.

Hartgrove has accepted the position of assistant city manager in the City of Lynchburg.

The ATF has been operating the Ashland Theater in a “pop-up� mode with all volunteers since November 2014.

During that time frame, the theater has hosted over 140 events with 18,000 attendees.

Thursday, Oct. 20, was the last public event of the “popup� mode before the renovations at the theater begin. “We would like to remind our town manager, before he hits the road, that it’s important that he sign this lease

because we don’t know who the next manager is going to be, so we’ve got a special pen,�

Mercer said. “Thank you everyone that supported the theater over the last two years. We’re going to be asking you for a lot more support to do this thing right, it’s a community effort ‌ we know we’re going to get there.â€?

Among those who talked about Hartgrove’s impact on the town were Faye Prichard, Ashland District representative on the the Hanover County Board of Supervisors and the former mayor and council

member of Ashland Town Council; Ashland Police Chief Doug Goodman; and Mayor James Foley.

Hartgrove’s job as town manger wasn’t an easy one, Foley said, because “Charles – that man was the face of the town.� “That man’s got incredible political instincts; I’m going to miss your guidance,� Foley told Hartgrove.

Foley discussed Ashland government, and how Hartgrove’s time as town manager has impacted the town staff in very positive ways.

“Charles has assembled what I believe is the finest staff

of any small town in America,� the mayor added.

Tick tock — Nov. 8 is rapidly approaching

Bible, prayer, pledge part of morning ritual

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor While the war of words continues between the campaigns of Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump (there was an imaginary coin toss and the decision was to address them in alphabetical order), some Americans may think the idea of a rigged election as being far-fetched (and don’t consider this as an endorsement of The Donald), but he may not be too far off. Well, at least that was the case decades ago in the land of corrupt elections (as in my home state).

I started voting in 1974 when the big lever machines were used. At the time, I didn’t give it much thought as to whether someone could undermine my choices for office.

Now Trump has turned up the heat — albeit

it doesn’t seem he’s gaining much support for his accusation, with the possible exception of those die-hard devoted to his voting base.

I left my hometown newspaper in 1991 and, believe it or not, a neighboring county, was still using paper ballots. Trust me, part of that county involved one of our delegate seats and there were elections when we didn’t get results for those precincts until Thursday.

We watched Trump literally circle the wagons as he paced about or was within bumping distance at the second debate. Regardless of what you think of Clinton, she’s a strong woman. He didn’t intimate her — if that was his goal. And he got a bit testy last week at the third and final debate. The two have their strengths, but he’s got to learn to reign in his temper if he believes he still has a shot

at the White House.

Trump has alleged names of deceased being counted as votes. That was a common joke in my hometown. Not that there’s anything particularly funny about it, because I’ve often wondered if I still vote there, as well as my dad who passed away in 1992.

A noteworthy item about the voting system in West Virginia is that you do register by party. So anybody can go to the county clerk’s office and check out what your political affiliation is.

The best advice I can offer is to go to the polls and cast your ballot. Vote your conscience. It’s your right, your privilege, your responsibility.

Polls open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m.

As Sonny and Cher sang long ago, the beat goes on . . .

Hacked emails, internet breaches: the new normal

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist Getting used to the new normal of hacked emails and internet security breaches may not be as easy as it sounds.

Truth is, predictions that foresaw the massive influence of electronic mail decades ago were right on target, and America and the world has evolved to an almost internet dependent existence,

both in business and personal relationships.

And what seemed like one of the most secure methods to reveal information is, each day, becoming more like a leaking bucket of hacked information.

Some experts are saying the death of email can’t be far behind the epidemic levels of leaks and intrusions, and it’s certainly true that once Americans lose trust in the system, it’s use will decline.

What do we replace it with might be

(Editor’s note: The following was addressed to Melody Kinser, managing editor of The Mechanicsville Local, in response to an editorial column that appeared in the Oct. 19, 2016, edition.)

I would just like to respond to your question posed in the Local.

The short answer is “Yes”!

I too, remember being in Hanover County Public Schools and having assembly, where the Bible was read, prayer, and Pledge of Allegiance was part of our morning ritual. This was when I was in elementary school.

Although I don’t think we understood what all that meant, we were learning, just like math or reading, which wasn’t always comprehended at that age either.

For me, this was an extension of what I was learning at home and in the little church I grew up in. Respect for adults and be considerate of others, not taking what belonged to someone else. All of these concepts are missing from most public schools today. I had several teachers in my growing up years to share Biblical values.

I can honestly say none of us kids grew up perfect, including myself. But we did know exactly what you said.

If you “sassed” a teacher, you’d get in trouble with them and probably get a note sent home and get in trouble there too. You respected your principal, the janitor, the librarian, your bus driver, and your teachers. There were real world consequences for what we did.

I strongly believe that a number of parents don’t want to be that strong person who sticks to what they’ve said they will do if misbehavior continues.

They want their kids to like them all the time. A lot of parents make sure their kids are in sports, cheering, all types of clubs, scouting and see LETTERS, pg. 8

other activities, but church and recognizing God is not a priority. These other things are not wrong or bad but we all need to know there is someone bigger than we ourselves.

If we had a chart that showed the decline of respect in our schools since God has been kicked out, there would be no way to deny the correlation. Some will argue they can be good without God. Perhaps some can be good some of the time. But we are people in need of a Savior. We are selfish and want what we want when we want it. The “Golden Rule” has been perverted from “do to others as you’d have them do to you,” to “do it to them before they can do it to you”!

I know this is long and don’t expect you to print it. I just had to acknowledge your question.

We not only need God and discipline in schools but in our homes and in our hearts.

Darlene Heath Butler Quinton

Rowe has qualities to serve I recently saw a letter to the editor from a fellow citizen of Hanover, Dan Johnson, extolling the virtues of U.S. Rep. Rob Wittman, expressing that he represented honesty, dependability and the willingness to put the people ahead of himself. I’m not here to dispute this, as Mr. Johnson has met Congressman Wittman, and I have not. I have, however, met Matt Rowe, and feel that he represents these qualities and more.

I’ve seen Matt Rowe attend events big and small, talking to everyone, listening to their concerns and answering their questions with frank, detailed and personalized answers.

I’ve seen him approach a variety of policy issues with intelligence and empathy.

And I feel that, Matt Rowe, without exception, contains

the characteristics of honesty, dependability and selflessness that Mr. Johnson admires in Congressman Wittman. So all of those things being equal, why do I feel Matt Rowe is the better choice? Time and attention.

Congressman Wittman has already started preparing to run for governor. He’s traveling to parts of Virginia that are out of his district, and seems to see his congressional seat as a fallback position if the run for governor is unsuccessful.

We’ve all worked with or for people that have their eye on a better job elsewhere. They’re distracted and typically resentful of being made to do their old job, because it’s not the promotion they desire.

Besides, while in Congress, Mr. Wittman made some choices I questioned, from voting to shut down the government over ideological issues to voting against the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. Violence Against Women prevention should

be a no-brainer, non-partisan issue, yes? He’s also a steadfast Donald Trump supporter, which may be offensive to some reading this and joy-inducing for others, but that, frankly, is far beside the point.

Your opinion about the presidential election doesn’t have to be 100% relevant to re-electing Congressman Wittman, because, if you vote for him, you would literally be voting for an empty seat.

You won’t have to worry about the representative for the 1st District making various decisions, because the 1st District and Hanover County won’t have a voice at all. Hanover and the rest of the 1st District’s needs will be completely ignored, because it is impossible to give 100% of your attention to representing your district and running for governor at the same time. So, where do we go from here?

I truly believe Matt Rowe will take the entire district’s needs and desires into consideration, from the strictest

Republican to the most adamant Democrat and everyone in between. He knows the people, he knows the land and he knows the district, and he will work his guts out every day to represent everyone. He combines knowledge of the district with the fresh, outsider mentality that people desire.

And, most importantly, Matt Rowe will be there, every second of every day, working for the people. As nice and honest of a man as Congressman Wittman may be, he cannot truthfully say the same.

Bring God, discipline back\ into schools When I was in school we said The Lord’s Prayer and the Pledge of Allegiance every day and did not have the issues that we are seeing every day now.

We also were spanked with a paddle or wood ruler and

were disciplined and, yes, parents were called immediately to let them know.

We also had the opportunity on Friday mornings to go to our local church (within walking distance of school) for Bible study.

Yes, we should bring God and discipline back to our schools.

Thank you, Shelley Horton Montpelier

Outgoing Ashland Town Manager Hartgrove is surrounded by members of Ashland Town Council who wished him well at his last meeting with the municipality. He has accepted the assistant city manager’s position in the City of Lynchburg. Shown are, from left, Vice Mayor James Murray, Mayor James Foley, council member Steve Trivett, Hartgrove, and council members George Spagna and Kathy Abbott.

sition to any tax-subsidized railway.

“We can’t stop the expansion, but we can have some input on how it’s going to ultimately look, but we have to come with one voice,” said Tomkins, referring to a public input session opening up after Dec. 6 with the DRPT. Also attending the Oct. 18 meeting were students from Patrick Henry High School who are taking a class in Virginia and United States government.

In addressing the students on the proposal, which is more popularly known as DC2RVA, Mayor James Foley told the students “not to judge a book by its cover.”

“They’re calling it highspeed rail, it’s not high-speed rail, [it’s] zero percent highspeed rail. It’s five percent passenger rail, and 95 percent freight rail … They slap that name on it, and it confuses some people, but that’s just not the reality,” said Mayor Foley.

Anyone interested in learning more about the DC2RVA proposal set forth by the DRPT is encouraged to visit the FUTR website at www.familiesundertherail.org.

In other business, council moved to approve the meeting’s consent agenda as stated, therefore referring both an application for a conditional use permit (CUP) and a requested amendment to a specific zoning ordinance to the Ashland Planning Commission.

Staff recommended that town council refer both items to the Planning Commission for review and consideration at a public hearing.

The applicant, Andrew M. Condlin, filed an application for a CUP to construct and operate a new fuel station with an accessory convenient store.

The property is zoned B-2 — highway-commercial, and a CUP is required for fueling stations. Currently, the property’s existing use is a mixture of commercial properties, and the future land use classification is part interstate-commercial and part mixed-use.

It is located at 610 England St. between North Washington Highway and Louisiana Street, across the street from the Ashland Police Department.

The Planning Commission is set to review the application and take it under consideration at a public hearing in which

the date has not yet been made public.

According to a memorandum regarding the ordinance that was referred by council, Ashland town staff requested a text amendment in order to specify the minimum lot size for single-family, attached homes in R-3 – residentialmedium zoning.

The zoning now allows for two family dwellings at a minimum lot size of 10,000 square feet, but it doesn’t specify the lot sizes if they were to be divided for use as single-family, attached. The proposed amendment would apply a 6,000-square-foot lot size to R-3 zoning, as it is clarified in R-4 – residentialhigh zoning.

The Planning Commission is set to review the amendment to the ordinance, and to take it under consideration at a public hearing scheduled to take place on Wednesday, Nov. 9.

Also during the meeting, Mayor Foley gave the official resolution of current Town Manager Charles Hartgrove, who recently accepted a position as deputy assistant manager for the City of Lynchburg.

A final farewell party for Hartgrove was held Thursday, Oct. 20, at the Ashland Theater.

coupled with mass migration of people due to war, famine, politics, etc., the globe has become a much smaller place — in those terms. Schools around the world will be faced with such a wide variety of ingrained cultures, disciplines, and religions that was unimaginable a few years ago.

Even our own culture has evolved over the years to accept personal choices previously unheard of: marriage of mixed races — and even sexes, freedoms of expression, human rights in general. I have respect and trust any individual unless and until they cause me to think otherwise.

How could a school administer prayer to include all the numerous concepts of “God” and God’s message? Perhaps a moment of silence would allow each student to pray to their own God — or none, as they have a right to choose.

How could a school administer discipline with a paddle with so many mixed cultures?

How big the paddle, and with what force?

I was paddled (deservedly so) as a young student and by my father (with a 4-inch wide razor strap, also deservedly so. I even used it on my own children.

However, now I do not condone corporal punishment beyond a light tap from a parent as a reminder.

Schools should stick to education only.

Leave the discipline to the parents, and law enforcement if necessary.

Schools do not need to accept students that disrupt the education of others.

Ronald D. Reed Beaverdam

Proud and blessed to vote

I enjoyed your editorial where you described how your father urged you to vote because voting is a right and a privilege and a responsibility.

When I came of age to vote at age 21 in 1968 I was a college student at VCU. I was extremely excited to finally be the age for voting. My parents and I always discussed politics and the state of the country around the dinner table.

My first thought then was of my mother and father, who had never registered to vote because they were not property owners and could not pay the poll tax required of all Virginians during the early 1930s.

So when I drove to the Hanover Courthouse to register to vote, I took along two passengers, my mother and my father. My father was still doubtful whether he would be allowed to vote, but my mother was so excited. She had always wanted to vote.

All three of us were successfully registered in 1968 and I have always cherished my right and responsibility to vote. Despite my feelings during any political conflict, and occasional disagreement with the candidates of either party, I have and always will vote in every election that concerns my country, my state and the county in which I live.

I am extremely proud and blessed to have the privilege to

vote. I hope everyone will use this opportunity to express our feelings.

Jean T. Reed Mechanicsville

Religion should return to school Any religion is based on moral principles, principles that children ignore nowadays, such as respect for their parents, law, elders and teachers.

If they received a religious education and discipline in school they will probably think twice before committing a crime.

I’m of the opinion that religion and discipline should return to our schools Luis Garcia Mechanicsville

sitions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of patriotism, who should labor to subvert these great pillars of human happiness.”

We are not born with virtues, but are made to acquire them. This requires education, practice, and effort on our part.

Reason alone in education is not enough.

Punishment is the way a society demonstrates its values. Not just the act of punishment itself, but the actions of those leading to it. One of the

early church fathers, Clement of Alexandria, stated that there were three reasons for punishment. First, that the transgressor might become better.

Second, to serve as an example for others. Third, to prevent injury to the one who has been harmed. A society with no punishment is a society which values nothing.

A society with inconsistent punishment is one that is corrupt.

Our Founders also believed religion should be protected from the state, thus a wall — one to protect religion from government, but allow the

morality it teaches to influence society and therefore government.

Initially, the Bible was a textbook used in our classrooms, one used to teach the moral lessons of good and bad behavior needed to be successful in life.

As proof the Aitkin’s Bible of 1782 was the first Bible printed in the Colonies. It contained three documents at the front of the book: (1) the report of the Congressional committee reviewing his petition, (2) a report form the Congressional Chaplains, and (3) Congresses see LETTERS, pg. 17

Education and original intent I agree with your observations, but not necessarily for the reason you may think.

All societies need a moral foundation to be successful.

We must learn both the languages of reason and faith. Not religion per se, but the morality underlying it. Our Founders chose Judeo/Christian tenets for that foundation.

George Washington believed this. “Of all the dispo-

Ashland announces leaf collection schedule (Editor’s note: The following was taken from the Town of Ashland’s website, http://www. town.ashland.va.us/civicalerts. aspx?AID=215.)

ASHLAND — The Town of Ashland’s loose leaf collection equipment will be making two passes through the entire town between now and the end of the year, once in November and once December.

The collection runs on a scheduled route through the town as weather permits (not raining or snowing).

When raking your leaves, avoid raking leaves into the street, the gutters, or drainage ditches, and be sure that the leaf piles do not contain pet waste, twigs, limbs, or other heavy objects that may damage the leaf collection equipment or/and delay the collection of your leaves.

The morality and knowledge derived from religion was and is essential to good government. That is original intent.

Note government is not to be involved, but to create an environment where education is encouraged. This can only

happen when government, and its corrupting influence, is removed from the classroom.

One can embrace this idea or reject it, but to ignore it is to put yourself and your society in peril.

These ideas are at the heart of my two books, “Do You Want to be Free� and “Collectivism and Charity.�

The first looks at the “what� of our purpose — freedom, the second at our purpose’s “how� — charity. Both require a complete education, one that we do not provide today. We only have to look at our society to see the proof.

Evans, Confederates run wild over Hawks

By Chip Knighton For The Mechanicsville Local MECHANICSVILLE – His day largely done by halftime, Nathan Evans could relax, secure in his contribution to his team’s victory effort. It was a nice feeling.

The Lee-Davis running back rang up 239 total yards and five touchdowns on 13 touches, the gaudiest numbers in a game that didn’t lack for those.

The math added up to a 69-31 Confederates victory over visiting Hanover in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl on Friday night.

The teams combined for 764 yards of offense in a game where the clock ran for most of the second half. Lee-Davis (6-2) had 519 of those yards, with nearly half coming from Evans as a runner and receiver.

The touchdowns came fast and long in the early going, aided by fumbles that shortcircuited Hanover possessions when not ending them entirely.

The first fumble kept the Hawks (1-7) behind the chains, leading to a punt and a quick score, with sophomore quarterback Zach Lass hitting Evans on an out route. The senior did all the work from there, breaking away from Keegan McLaughlin’s tackle and racing down the sideline for a 50-yard score.

“We kind of hit them with a 1-2 punch there early,” LeeDavis coach Ryan Turnage said.

who outran Hanover safety Kyle Bohannon to the end zone for a 47-yard touchdown.

The fumble “gave us a lot of momentum,” Hargrove said.

“We knew we had to put it in the end zone, and we know our offense can do that.”

Evans padded his yardage and scoring totals on the Confederates’ next possession, taking a handoff and going 77 yards down the left side for a touchdown, dragging Hawks cornerback Eric McLemore for the last 10. He picked up his third score on a one-yard second-quarter plunge, then added another four minutes later on a 20-yard sweep for the last of Lee-Davis’ 34 unanswered points.

“We stick with what we do,” Evans said. “It happened that the big play was there tonight.

When it’s there, you take advantage of it. We tried to hit a few home runs and it ended up working.

“When you get on a team early, you want to build on that momentum and try to hit big, and we did that really well tonight.”

That set up Hanover’s best drive to that point, an eight play, 59-yard jaunt highlighted by a one-handed circus catch Nick Liberante for The Local

Florida works for Patriots in win over Atlee ed with a 16-play, 7-minute, 52-second drive that soaked up minutes off the clock. Hart finished the drive with a 7-yard touchdown.

“We weren’t not going to score,” Hart said.

Patrick Henry’s defense had a big night, too. It recorded three interceptions. Hart had one of them.

Before Friday, Patrick Henry had established a reputation of spreading the ball among five different running backs in a triple option. This time, the Patriots were far more onedimensional. Moving forward, the Patriots will use both offenses, depending on the defense they face.

“We switched it up,” Tyler said. “Teams are used to seeing our offense. Tonight, we did something different.”

Eric Kolenich can be reached at ekolenich@timesdispatch.com.

By Eric Kolenich Richmond Times-Dispatch ASHLAND – On Monday, Patrick Henry coach Bryan Davis called his star junior, Hunter Hart, into his office. The “Florida” offense, the coach told his player, was being put into action.

It had been in the playbook, but it hadn’t been used yet. It meant Hart would move to quarterback, and the majority of the carries would belong to him.

Friday came, and “Florida” worked to perfection. Hart rushed for 238 yards and three touchdowns, and No. 9 Patrick Henry defeated Atlee 26-14.

It was Patrick Henry’s first win over Atlee since 2008.

Hart was dynamic. He rammed through defenders and hurdled over others. He displayed straight-line speed. On his second touchdown of the night, he leaped over a defender, one foot in front of the other, and touched ground in the end zone.

“He’s a highlight reel,” teammate Travious Tyler said.

And his offensive line cleared space for him all night.

Playing quarterback was nothing new for him. He was the Patrick Henry quarterback his entire sophomore season.

But he moved to running back and receiver this year. Before Friday night, he had accumulated 300 total rushing yards.

The “Florida” offense looks a lot like the brand of football played by Tim Tebow when he was a Florida Gator. Hart ran

He also handed off to Za’Qari Tillman (81 yards) 10 times and Terrance Oxendine (49 yards) eight times. He passed once for 40 yards.

But on the first play from scrimmage, he called his own number and rushed straight

forward. He broke free in open field, sprinting 88 yards toward the end zone. It didn’t look like the normal triple-option run by the Patrick Henry offense.

As he dashed across the field, he remembered the proclamation he made to assistant coach Duane Lynch. Hart told the coach he would score on the

first play of the game. And then he actually did it.

The point-after attempt failed, but Patrick Henry (7-1) led 6-0.

Just five plays later, Atlee (35) scored on a 5-yard run by Chris Green and took a 7-6 lead. But it didn’t last long. On Patrick Henry’s second play of

the next drive, Tillman took a carry 38 yards to Atlee’s 18. Two plays later, Oxendine scored from 10 yards out, and Patrick Henry never trailed again.

Atlee’s Clifton Woody did score a 94-yard touchdown early in the fourth quarter, cutting Patrick Henry’s lead to 5.

the Confederates went into the halftime break up 41-17.

The Confederates continued pouring it on in a 21-point third quarter before Hanover senior Ben Mahone scored a pair of fourth-quarter touchdowns.

Mahone, playing in his first game since senior quarterback Clayton Cheatham went down for the year, started slowly but found more success as the game went on, rushing for a gamehigh 198 yards.

PH’s Rathbone qualifies for VHSL Girls Open

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor PETERSBURG – Last year, Patrick Henry sent both of its girl golfers to the Virginia High School League Girls Open championships. While those two – Andrea Dill and Shea Burch – graduated, the Patriots are continuing the tradition this year.

Jessica Rathbone, a freshman who has been either the Patriots’ No. 1 or No. 2 golfer all season, shot a 9-over-par 81 in the Central Zone girls qualifier at Dogwood Trace Golf Course on Oct. 18 to claim one of four available berths in the Girls Open Championship, which was held at the International Country Club in Fairfax Monday and Tuesday after this edition went to press.

The leaders’ scores in the Central Zone qualifier were substantially better this year than last. All four of this year’s qualifiers – Glen Allen’s Cameron Cook, Manchester’s Alexis Cheatham, Rathbone and Maggie Walker’s Lisa Qin – shot better than the 82 Dill shot in a winning effort last year.

Cook shot five strokes better this year than last, winning with a 78 this year.

Dave Lawrence/The Local

Patrick Henry’s Jessica Rathbone attempts to sink a par putt on the 18th hole of the Central Zone girls golf qualifier at Dogwood Trace Golf Course on Oct. 18. Rathbone qualified to advance to the Virginia High School League Girls Open with a final score of 81.

“It’s an improvement, and I’m happy that I improved. That was my goal, just to beat what I shot last year,” Cook said. “I’m very proud of myself. One year ago, two years ago, I could not have pictured myself here, but I’m happy, very happy – ecstatic.”

On the other hand, Cosby’s Abby Gschwind, who qualified for the Girls Open last year with an 84, missed the cut this year despite an improved score of 82.

Cook, a senior, plans to enjoy her final trip to the Girls Open.

“I’m just going to go out and play golf – and enjoy it. That’s all I can do,” she said. “It is what it is. If I shoot great, I shoot great.

If I don’t then, ‘Oh, well.’ ” Despite the fact that Rathbone qualified for another week of competition, she wasn’t thrilled with her effort.

“I didn’t play well today, but I did make some tough putts and shots,” Rathbone said. “I was struggling with approach shots and putting.”

No matter what happens in the Girls Open, Rathbone is pleased with her accomplishments so far.

“I feel like I could have shot better, but I’m happy with my season,” Rathbone said. “I need to work on letting go of shots when they don’t go where I want them to.”

Cheatham should feel vindicated this year. She was looking to finish as one of the leaders of the Central Zone qualifier, but ran into disaster on the 17th hole. The par 3 features a sizable water hazard in front of the tee, with an especially unfriendly bulkhead on the far end. She hit several balls that didn’t quite clear the hazard – at least one that hit the bulkhead and ricocheted back into the water – and finished three strokes short of qualifying for the Girls Open.

This year, however, she let no hazard get in her way, with her 79 eight strokes better than the 87 she shot last year.

Hanover junior Bella Seip missed the cut for the Girls Open this year, but she was still pretty pleased: her 88 was five

strokes better than the 93 she shot last year. “[My score] was around the ballpark of what I normally shoot,” Seip said. “I had a good amount of pars; I just had a couple of holes that didn’t turn out the way I would have liked them to. … I was hitting some putts too hard and I had some chips that I didn’t hit the way that I should have.”

Hanover head coach Chris Pace was pleased with her performance.

“Missing [the Girls Open] is tough,” Pace said. “But it wasn’t a bad score.”

Raiders’ girls earn sweep of county, conference rival Patrick Henry

By Laura Fien Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – The Atlee girls volleyball team last won a state title in 2013. Since then, many faces have come and gone. But the goal has always remained the same: to win another state title.

To do that, the Raiders knew they would have to do well in the regular season to secure a higher seed in the postseason.

30

Last year, it came down to a lottery drawing between Atlee and Albemarle.

But after a 25-11, 25-21, 2518 win over visiting Conference 16 opponent Patrick Henry on Tuesday night, the Raiders are now up two matches as they hope to avoid another lottery.

“We needed to win, because we didn’t want that mess again,” said Atlee coach Curtis Carpenter.

“I was really pleased with

The Mechanicsville Local

October 26, 2016

how my team came out tonight.

We knew Patrick Henry wasn’t going away, because the Patriots are a good team this year. But my team kept chipping away at them. I’m really proud of my girls, because that’s something we weren’t very good at in the beginning of the year.”

Now eight weeks into the season, No. 5 Atlee was able to take a 14-1 lead over No. 6 Patrick Henry to start the first set. Junior Kyra Walden

got things going for the Raiders, who have no seniors.

“We have this pregame routine that gets me fired up,” said Walden, who had a match-high 11 kills. “The fact that I can get it down and score points for my team early gets not only me excited, but everyone else on my team excited as well.”

The second set was a different matter. The score was 9-8 when Patrick Henry took its first lead of the match. The

Patriots actually had an 1815 lead in the set before the Raiders took a 2-0 lead in the match.

The third set was tied 10 times before the Raiders were able to pull off their sweep of the Patriots.

“We’ve been working really hard all season to come out on top,” said junior Lauren O’Riley, who, along with Walden, was on last year’s team with the last remaining players from Atlee’s

state championship. “To get this win in three sets against Patrick Henry, who we beat in five sets last time, shows that it wasn’t just a fluke.”

Carpenter said that has led to his team’s continued success.

“Success breeds success,” said Carpenter. “I’ve been lucky, I guess, but I think it’s the mentality we try to create in the gym, nothing comes easy, so anything worth having you have to work hard for.”

Defense reigns supreme in Yellow Jacket win

By Ellis Hopson For the Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – After a scoreless first half in RandolphMacon’s homecoming game against Catholic at Day Field Saturday, the only thing that seemed worth celebrating was the homecoming court and the effort put in by both teams’ defenses.

Somebody’s defense was bound to crack, and, to the pleasure of the Yellow Jacket fans, it was Catholic’s defense that buckled to give the home crowd a happy homecoming as Randolph-Macon earned its third shutout of the season with a 21-0 victory over the Cardinals.

The Yellow Jackets’ defense stood firm, allowing only 10 first downs and 126 yards total offense “We played really well and really hard” on the defensive side of the line of scrimmage, said Yellow Jackets head coach Pedro Arruza. “We’re very fortunate that we’ve been able to stay healthy on that side of the ball. That’s been a plus – a huge plus – for us.”

The Cardinals started their first offensive series on their own 25-yard line, and made their way towards midfield. The drive imploded on a third-and12, when Catholic quarterback

Randolph-Macon’s Eric Hoy (24) scores in the Yellow Jackets’ 21-0 win over Catholic Saturday.

Alejandro Ros was sacked by Randolph-Macon senior defensive end Cole Burdette.

A three-and-out on a later Randolph-Macon possession was salvaged by a 49-yard punt

by Drew down to the Cardinals’ 8-yard line. Ros was later intercepted by senior safety Marcus Mitchell inside Catholic terri-

tory at the 41-yard line.

Catholic later made its way to the Yellow Jacket 27-yard line, but failed to convert on fourthdown and the game remained scoreless at the half.

Hoping to generate an offensive spark, the Jackets started their first drive of the second half with two direct snaps – first for 12 yards, then for

6 – to sophomore playmaker Eric Hoy, and then a 7-yard shovel pass to from quarterback Joseph Vairo to Hoy. “I think Eric’s our best offensive player right now, and we try to get him involved as much as we can,” Arruza said. “We were trying to get him to spark something.”

Apparently, he did. Hoy’s

reception took RandolphMacon to the Catholic 28-yard line, where six consecutive Dom Kaopua carries culminated in a 2-yard touchdown that put the Yellow Jackets on the board with 9:34 remaining in the third quarter.

On the ensuing drive, Ros was intercepted by senior cornerback Jacob Silva with 2:24 remaining in the quarter. The Jackets’ offense failed to capitalize on the turnover, but an accurate punt from Drew pinned the Cardinals at their own threeyard line. In all, he pinned the Catholic offense inside its 20yard line four times.

“I thought he hit some pretty good punts,” Arruza said of Drew’s performance.

Each team traded a pair of scoreless drives each before Randolph-Macon senior Eric Long’s 18-yard punt return set up the Jackets at the Catholic 28-yard line. Four plays later, Hoy dove into the Cardinals’ end zone from 2-yards out to give R-MC a 14-0 lead with 12:12 remaining in the game.

Randolph-Macon (6-1) got its final score on a one-play drive: a 70-yard pass from Vairo to sophomore tight end Sean McDonald to put RandolphMacon ahead 21-0 with 10:43 remaining.

The Jackets’ defense sealed the win with a third interception of Ros, this time by junior

defensive back Ryan Burns.

Kappua who carried the ball 27 times for 115 yards and a touchdown, led the Yellow Jackets to a 21-0 victory over the Cardinals (3-4).

The Yellow Jackets, who are currently tied for second place in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference, travel to conference leader Washington & Lee Saturday. Kickoff is set for 1 p.m.

a big part of winning the fight against this disease.

The National Cancer Institute says cancer treatments cause side effects because treatments not only affect cancerous cells, but also healthy tissues or organs. Side effects vary from person to person, even among those who get the same treatment.

Side effects are particularly common among recipients of chemotherapy. According to The Mesothelioma Center, fatigue is the most frequently reported side effect of chemotherapy, affecting up to 96 percent of cancer patients. Nausea and vomiting also occur in 70 to 80 percent of chemo patients.

Cancer patients dealing with side effects like nausea, vomiting and fatigue can focus their efforts on feeling the best they can despite these effects. Nausea can occur during both radiation and chemo treatments. Patients undergoing treatments for cancers of the brain may also experience nausea, says the American Cancer Society. Patients can discuss alternative treatment plans with their physicians if nausea becomes overwhelming. Furthermore, there are medications designed to staunch the feelings of nausea that may help alleviate vomiting spells. Patients should always speak with their cancer care teams about how nausea or vomiting is affecting them, especially if it’s impacting how much nutrition they are able to receive.

Fatigue is another common concern. MD Anderson Cancer Center says that fatigue is treatable, but many patients fail to discuss fatigue with their doctors. Cancer-related fatigue can have a trickle-down effect that leads to sleeping disorders; emotional distress, including depression; and added stress.

A healthy lifestyle can help fight fatigue, and such a lifestyle includes healthy eating and exercise. Exercising while undergoing cancer treatments can be challenging, but even a 20-minute walk during the day can help reduce stress and increase energy. People experiencing fatigue should resist the urge to nap too frequently. One 30-minute nap may be all

you need to recharge. In addition, maintain a fatigue journal, which can help doctors identify potential fatigue triggers.

Emotional effects of cancer treatment can be overwhelming, and some patients may not be eager to share such side effects with their physicians. But seeking help for depression, anxiety, fears, and any of the other myriad feelings that cancer and its treatments can produce can make a world of difference.

Trained therapists who specialize in helping cancer patients routinely work with individuals to assist them in coping.

When emotional health is in check, it’s much easier to focus on physical health.

Cancer treatments may come with side effects. But these effects can often be mitigated so patients can direct their energy and focus to fighting the disease more effectively. -Metro

According to the World Health Organization, breast cancer survival rates vary greatly worldwide. While survival rates range from 80 percent or better in North America and countries such as Sweden and Japan, those figures drop to roughly 60 percent in middle-income countries. Low-income countries fare the worst, with survival rates below 40 percent. The WHO attributes the low survival rates in low-income countries to inadequate diagnosis and treatment facilities and the lack of early detection programs.

Early detection is often essential when battling breast cancer, as late-stage survival rates are low regardless of where a person lives.

For example, the American Cancer Society notes that, in the United States, the five-year relative survival rate for breast cancers detected in their earliest stages (often referred to as ‘stage 0 or ‘stage I’) is 100 percent. The five-year relative survival rate in the United States is considerably lower for stage IV breast cancers, at right around 22 percent. -Metro

The risk factors for breast cancer

Being female is the single biggest risk factor for developing breast cancer. Men can get breast cancer, but the risk for men is substantially smaller than it is for women. According to Breastcancer.org, roughly 190,000 women are diagnosed with invasive breast cancer each year in the United States alone.

Age The American Cancer Society notes that about two out of every three invasive breast cancers are found in women ages 55 and older, whereas just one out of every eight invasive breast cancers are found in women younger than 45. The WHO notes that instances of breast cancer are growing in developing countries, citing longer life expectancies as one of the primary reasons for that increase.

Family history According to the WHO, a family history of breast cancer increases a woman’s risk factor by

Stepping Stones is proud to be the only fullservice fully ABC accredited facility of our type in Central Virginia!

Menstrual history Women who began menstruating younger than age 12 have a higher risk of developing breast cancer later in life than women who began menstruating after their twelfth birthdays.

The earlier a woman’s breasts form, the sooner they are ready to interact with hormones and chemicals in products that are hormone disruptors. Longer interaction with hormones and hormone disruptors increases a woman’s risk for breast cancer.

Stepping Stones Women’s Center, LLC is a full service women’s health facility located in Mechanicsville, VA. Although we specialize in the needs of women diagnosed with and surviving breast cancer, we carry products for a variety of needs for all women.

Lifestyle choices A 2005 comparative risk assessment of nine behaviors and environmental factors published in the U.K. medical journal The Lancet found that 21 percent of all breast cancer deaths across the globe are attributable to alcohol consumption, overweight and obesity and physical inactivity. Women can do nothing to control breast cancer risk factors like gender, age and family history, but making the right lifestyle choices, including limiting alcohol consumption, maintaining a healthy weight and living an active lifestyle, can reduce the likelihood that they will develop breast cancer.

two or three. Women who have had one firstdegree female relative, which includes sisters, mothers and daughters, diagnosed with breast cancer are at double the risk for breast cancer than women without such family histories. The risk of developing breast cancer is five times greater for women who have two first-degree relatives who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.

ancer is a formidable foe. Among women, no cancer poses a greater threat than breast cancer, which the World Health Organization reports is the most often diagnosed cancer both in the developed and developing worlds. Gaining a greater understanding of breast cancer may not prevent the onset of this disease that kills hundreds of thousands of women each year, but it might increase the chances of early detection, which can greatly improve women’s chances of survival. The following are the established risk factors for breast cancer.

Understanding the diagnosis by the stages of breast cancer

U

pon receiving a breast cancer diagnosis, patients will soon receive a pathology report that informs them about the stage their cancer is in. The stage indicates how advanced the cancer is and whether or not it is limited to one area of the breast or has spread to other tissue or even other parts of the body. Understanding the stages of breast cancer can help patients cope with their diagnoses more effectively.

Once the doctor has completed all the necessary testing, patients will then receive their pathology reports, which will include the stage of the cancer. The following rundown of the various stages of breast cancer can help breast cancer patients better understand their disease.

But stage IB breast cancers may also refer to instances when there is both a tumor in the breast that is no larger than two centimeters and small groups of cancer cells in the lymph nodes that are larger than 0.2 millimeter but no larger than two millimeters. The ACS notes that the five-year survival rate for stage I breast cancers is roughly 100 percent.

Stage III

Stage 0 Non-invasive breast cancers are considered to be in stage 0. When doctors have determined the cancer is in stage 0, that means they have not seen any indication that the cancer cells or the abnormal non-cancerous cells have spread out of the part of the breast in which they started.

Breast cancer patients may hear the term Òfive-year survival rateÓ when discussing their disease with their physicians.

The five-year survival rate refers to the percentage of people who live at least five years after being diagnosed with cancer.

According to the American Cancer Society, the five-year survival rate for women with stage 0 breast cancer is nearly 100 percent.

Stage I Stage I refers to invasive breast cancer and is broken down into two categories: stage IA and stage IB. Stage IA refers to invasive breast cancers in which the tumor is up to two centimeters and the cancer has not spread outside the breast. The lymph nodes are not involved in stage IA breast cancers. In some stage IB breast cancers, there is no tumor in the breast but there are small groups of cancer cells in the lymph nodes larger than 0.2 millimeter but not larger than two millimeters.

millimeters but no larger than two millimeters. Stage IIB may also be used to describe breast cancers in which the tumor is larger than two centimeters but no larger than five centimeters and the cancer has spread to between one and three axillary lymph nodes or to lymph nodes near the breastbone. Tumors that are larger than five centimeters but have not spread to the axillary lymph nodes may also be referred to as stage IIB breast cancers. The five-year survival rate for stage II breast cancers is about 93 percent.

Stage II Stage II breast cancers are also divided into two subcategories: stage IIA and stage IIB. Both subcategories are invasive, but stage II breast cancers are more complex than stage 0 or stage I breast cancers. Stage IIA describes breast cancers in which no tumor can be found in the breast, but cancer that is larger than two millimeters is found in one to three axillary lymph nodes (the lymph nodes under the arm) or in the lymph nodes near the breast bone. But an invasive breast cancer can still be considered stage IIA if the tumor measures two centimeters or smaller and has spread to the axillary lymph nodes or if the tumor is larger than two centimeters but not larger than five centimeters and has not spread to the axillary lymph nodes.

Stage IIB breast cancer describes breast cancers in which the tumor is larger than two centimeters but no larger than five centimeters, and there are small groups of breast cancer cells in the lymph nodes. These small groups of cells are larger than 0.2

Stage III cancers are invasive breast cancers broken down into three categories: IIIA, IIIB and IIIC. When patients are diagnosed with stage IIIA breast cancer, that means doctors may not have found a tumor in their breast or the tumor may be any size. In stage IIIA, cancer may have been found in four to nine axillary lymph nodes or in the lymph nodes near the breastbone. Tumors larger than five centimeters that are accompanied by small groups of breast cancer cells (larger than 0.2 millimeter but no larger than two millimeters) in the lymph nodes also indicate a breast cancer has advanced to stage IIIA. But stage IIIA may also be used to describe breasts cancers in which the tumor is larger than five centimeters and the cancer has spread to one to three axillary lymph nodes or to the lymph nodes near the breastbone.

A stage IIIB breast cancer diagnosis indicates the tumor may be any size and has spread to the chest wall and/or the skin of the breast, causing swelling or an ulcer. The cancer may have spread to up to nine axillary lymph nodes or may have spread to the lymph nodes near the breastbone.

In stage IIIC breast cancer, doctors may not see any sign of cancer in the breast. If there is a tumor, it may be any size and may have spread to the chest wall and/or the skin of the breast. To be categorized as stage IIIC, the cancer must also have spread to 10 or more axillary lymph nodes or to the lymph nodes above or below the collarbone or to the axillary lymph nodes or lymph nodes near the breastbone. The ACS notes that women diagnosed with stage III breast cancer are often successfully treated and that the five-year survival rate is 72 percent.

Stage IV Invasive breast cancers that have spread beyond the breast and lymph nodes to other areas of the body are referred to as stage IV. Stage IV breast cancer may be a recurrence of a previous breast cancer, though some women with no prior history of breast cancer receive stage IV diagnoses. The five-year survival rate for stage IV breast cancers is 22 percent.

Help your body bounce back after cancer treatment ancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation therapy can take a toll on patients’ bodies. Though the side effects vary depending on the type of cancer and the treatment being administered, cancer patients may experience both short- and long-term consequences related to their treatments, leaving many with some work to do once their treatments have proven successful.

Fatigue, bruising and bleeding and skin irritation are some of the more common shortterm side effects associated with cancer treatments. But cancer patients may also experience long-term side effects. For example, Susan G. Komen¨, a tax-exempt organization that aims to address breast cancer through various initiatives, notes that early menopause is a potential long-term consequence of breast cancer treatments.

Helping their bodies recover after cancer treatment is a primary goal for many cancer survivors. While cancer survivors should work with their physicians to devise a post-treatment recovery plan, the following are some helpful

C

tips for survivors to keep in mind as they get back in the swing of things.

Cancer survivors who did not exercise much prior to their diagnosis should recognize the important role that exercise can play in their lives going forward. According to the Mayo Clinic, cancer survivors who exercise may benefit from improved mood and sleep, and many report feeling less anxiety than they did during or prior to treatment. And the American Cancer Society notes that some evidence suggests that maintaining a healthy weight, eating right and being physically active may reduce the risk of cancer recurrence and other serious, chronic diseases.

Cancer survivors should approach their post-treatment recovery slowly at first as they reacclimate their bodies to regular exercise.

According to the ACS, cancer survivors should aim for at least 30 minutes of exercise five or more days per week. As the body grows more accustomed to exercise, survivors can increase the intensity and duration of that exercise. But some low-intensity yet routine exercise once

ing committed to exercise and a healthy diet can help survivors regain their strength and potentially reduce their risk of recurrence.

Genetic testing may detect cancer risk

ancer affects people from all walks of life.

While there is no guaranteed way to prevent cancer, genetic testing can help individuals better understand their risks for certain types of cancer.

Genetic testing has been developed for many diseases.

Such testing looks for specific markers that can indicate the likelihood that a person will develop a specific disease.

Genetic testing has been used

It’s important to note that even if a cancer-predisposing mutation is present in your family, you will not automatically inherit the mutation.

And even if you do, it is no guarantee that it will lead to cancer.

The NCI says that mutations in hereditary cancer syndromes are inherited in three ways: autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive and

to diagnose genetic disorders such as muscular dystrophy and fragile X syndrome.

Genetic testing also is used to raise awareness about risk factors for Down’s syndrome.

Since cancer sometimes appears to run in families, people with a family history of the disease may benefit from hereditary testing.

Some genetic tests examine rare inherited mutations of certain protective genes that may be indicative of cancers of the breast or ovaries.

These genes include BRCA1 and BRCA2. The National Cancer Institute says mutations in genes that control cell growth and the repair of damaged DNA are likely to

X-linked recessive inheritance. Autosomal dominant inheritance occurs when a single altered copy of the gene is enough to increase a person’s chances of developing cancer. Autosomal recessive inheritance occurs when a person has an increased risk of cancer only if he or she inherits an altered copy of the gene from each parent. A female with a recessive cancer-predisposing mutation on one of her X chromosomes and a normal copy of the gene on her other X chromosome is a carrier but will not have an increased risk of cancer. Two mutations makes her more likely to get cancer. Men are less likely to

get cancer from this mutation because they only have one X chromosome.

Researchers continue to develop tests to examine multiple genes that may increase or decrease a person’s risk for cancer. Such tests may facilitate a proactive approach that can detect cancer before it spreads.

If you feel you are a candidate for genetic testing, speak with your doctor. Risk is based on things like personal medical history and family history. Testing may be conducted by a trained doctor, nurse or genetic counselor.

Patients will go through some sort of genetic counseling and be asked a number of ques-

tions about their lineage and the family history of the disease in different branches of their family trees, which will help to determine if further testing is warranted.

Testing may be done on a sample of blood, cheek cells, urine, hair, amniotic fluid, or other bodily tissues.

Results will be interpreted by experts, and the information will be shared. Remember, an increased risk for cancer does not guarantee that you will get cancer. However, it can help you make certain lifestyle choices and become aware of symptoms so that cancer can be caught early. Doctors can help you sort through your options at this point.. Metro

Learn about sizing Women’s wigs generally come in three different sizes: petite, average and large. Many wear an average cap. To achieve the correct measurements, have someone measure the circumference of your head, tracing around the perimeter of your hairline and continuing behind the ears.

A flexible seamstress measuring tape is helpful.

Also, measure from the tip of the spine to the front of the head.

Choose your hair type Wigs come in a variety of materials. These include human hair, synthetic hair and heatfriendly synthetic hair. Human hair will require similar maintenance to a regular head of hair and will not hold styles long. Therefore, if you desire a wig that requires less maintenance, then

ancer patients face various challenges.

One of the more difficult side effects of cancer treatment is the probability of hair loss, as both men and women report hair loss as one of the side effects they fear the most after being diagnosed with cancer.

Hair loss may be a side effect of chemotherapy. But the Mayo Clinic notes that not everyone who undergoes chemotherapy will experience hair loss, which may be a side effect of the medication chosen and dosage administered. Chemotherapy drugs are powerful medications that attack rapidly growing cancer cells.

However, these drugs not only impact cancerous cells, but they affect healthy cells as well. That means they can affect any cells in the body, including those that form hair follicles.

Cancer-related hair loss can occur just about anywhere hair grows. But while hair loss elsewhere on the body can be concealed relatively easily, it’s hair loss on one’s head that may affect a person’s body image. Wigs and other coverings can help cancer patients maintain a healthy body image, and the following are some tips to help patients find the right product for them.
