County vets thanked for service

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local HANOVER — In a nation divided by politics and demographics, there seems like there’s only one subject on which all Americans agree: Taking care of our nation’s veterans.

Hundreds of Hanoverians gathered

Friday to show their appreciation and gratitude for those who serve or have served their country.

A small breeze gently ruffled the folds of an American flag over a sun-drenched gathering that has become an annual event, a community’s commitment to celebrate Veteran’s Day and honor the men

and women who serve and protect.

Keynote speaker U.S. Rep. Rob Whitman, R-1, provided an inspirational message that highlighted the contributions of the men and women who wear those uniforms and protect and defend our freedoms.

Board of Medicine revokes county doctor’s license

By Michael Thompson Richmond Times-Dispatch HANOVER — A Hanover County doctor recently was ordered to have his medical license revoked after the Virginia Board of Medicine found he displayed a pattern of prescribing controlled substances to patients who appeared to be abusing the medications.

Last month, the board ordered the revocation of Dr. Brian Bittner’s license to practice medicine and surgery in Virginia.

Bittner practices at Beaverdam Family Medicine in western Hanover.

The order is scheduled to go into effect Dec. 1, according to a 52-page filing from the board that deals with Bittner’s care of 17 patients, some of whom also were his employees, from 2010 to 2015. During that time, according to the board’s report, Bittner prescribed narcotics without properly documenting the rationale behind his diagnoses and despite patients’ behavior of abuse or bad side effects.

Bittner did not return requests for com-

ment.

“Despite the numerous indications of a substance abuse problem set forth above, Dr. Bittner failed to perform or refer Patient H for substance abuse evaluation and treatment,” the board’s order says. “Bittner continued to prescribe abusable controlled substances for Patient H after she had been voluntarily committed or self-admitted for inpatient and outpatient substance abuse.”

At least two of Bittner’s patients checked in to an inpatient psychiatric facility, one of whom got a prescription for oxycodone after her hospitalization.

The report says that a 45-year-old woman Bittner had treated for chronic pain from 2011 to 2013 died “suddenly and unexpectedly.”

In another example cited in the report, Bittner continued to prescribe a patient controlled substances even though he knew she had a history with intravenous drugs.

Another patient reported having her prescription for OxyContin stolen seven times

from 2012 to 2014, throughout which Bittner expressed his discomfort at the situation, according to the report. “ ‘I am uncomfortable writing this much pain medication for her ... particularly since she finishes early at times,’ ” the order reports Bittner as noting about the patient’s OxyContin prescription. “Although Dr. Bittner documented on or about Feb. 5, 2014, that he had ‘had enough of (Patient G’s) excuses for why she runs short on her medications on a regular basis’ and would ‘not write her any more narcotics,’ he failed to follow through on his plans.”

The Virginia Board of Medicine first investigated Bittner in 2008 because of allegations he had broken laws related to Adderall, Percocet, Xanax, Demerol and Diazepam. In that case, the board issued a reprimand that required Bittner to complete 30 hours of education on medical record-keeping and documentation and on proper prescribing of controlled substances.

He also was required to read the state’s Drug Control Act.

The recent order revoking Bittner’s license cited his violation of state laws that deal with the handling and distribution of drugs, as well as the board’s general regulations.

Bittner’s revocation was the only one reported within the past 90 days on the website for the Virginia Department of Health Professions.

For the medicine and surgery field, there were 6.35 sanctions per 1,000 licensees in fiscal 2014, according to a Department of Health Professions report.

Bittner has 30 days from the date he was served in which to appeal the Board of Medicine’s decision. A board representative would not comment on the recommendation beyond what is in the public record.

A spokesman for the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office said that, to his knowledge, Bittner was not the subject of a criminal investigation. He referred questions to the federal Drug Enforcement Administration. The DEA’s Richmond office did not return a request for comment.

Supervisors: public input mandatory in comp plan

Jim Ridolphi for The Local

David Maloney, director of the Hanover County Planning Department, addressed the Hanover County Board of Supervisors last week about the schedule involving public input in the upcoming Comprehensive Plan.

Maloney outlined a schedule that could result in a new plan by late 2017 that included numerous public meetings and planning sessions associated with the revision.

Maloney listed several items of interest that could be addressed during the pending upgrade, including roads and transportation plan, the viability of the size of the Suburban Service Area and its ability to accommodate growth over the next 20 years and residential density in some zoning districts.

Maloney projected a schedule that features at least three community meetings, and many one-on-one meetings with citizens and their supervisors. Those times and locations will be posted on the county website, social media sites and the newspaper.

But, clearly, the focus was on public involvement and the importance of their voice in the process when supervisors provided comments on the upcoming schedule.

“This sounds like a small item today as we kick off the process,” said Mechanicsville District supervisor Canova Peterson. “The one thing we are bound by is the Comprehensive Plan. Citizens need to be involved very closely during the development of this plan. This is the plan that decides how Hanover County is going to grow.”

Ashland District supervisor Faye Prichard also stressed the importance of comprising a well-aired comp plan for the future, describing it as the “most important thing” for local elected officials.

“It’s the least sexy, most important thing we ever touch,” Prichard said.

Maloney said he envisions completing a draft plan by October 2017 for consideration by the Planning Commission. The board of supervisors could consider the document by November, with final approval coming as early as February.

The county is required by state code to update the plan every five years.

Let the dust settle — we are Americans

Early TV: Justice was the name of a horse

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor Regardless of preference in candidates, the General Election of 2016 will go down in history for a number of reasons. We can start with a political novice, with no governmental or military experience, being elected president. Add to that a 30-year veteran of service trying to become the first female to lead our country.

After Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton became the two nominees for their parties — Republican and Democratic, respectively — the gloves came off. Big time.

Here we are, a week after Trump swept the Electoral College (who else was having flashbacks to 2000 with Al Gore and George W. Bush?!) and

we must get on track. Trump is the presidentelect. Whether you like him isn’t the issue, he will be the 45th president of the United States — and respect goes with that title.

I, like many others, don’t know what to expect in the coming weeks or months. But, the one constant as we move forward is we have to do so unified. There’s enough division in this world; we cannot accept that on our own soil.

In watching Trump and President Barack Obama after their meeting Thursday, there was a sense of relief as the two — who, surprisingly, had never met — joined for a common goal: a smooth transition for our nation.

The Trump we saw on the campaign trail seems to have mellowed with the realization of

the responsibility ahead. We are hopeful he takes advantage of the expertise of those who have served in various capacities — with political affiliation put aside.

There was a brief moment Wednesday night when protesters across the country voiced their opinions about the election’s results. It reminded me of the 1960s and those voicing objections to our role in Vietnam.

Free speech is a major part of what makes our land great. Violence and turmoil, however, are not the route to take. Take part in your government.

Look to the next election.

Because, at the end of the day, the most powerful words we can say and hold dear remain: We are Americans.

Now victorious, everyone watching Trump’s next steps

By Roslyn Ryan Richmond Suburban News And so it ends.

As I have to tell absolutely no one, the Election of 2016 is now in the books, and the results were of the sort that might not even make the final edit of a reality show—with so many ups and downs, twists and turns, no one would likely believe it.

I will certainly be the first to

admit that I was wrong, both about Donald Trump’s desire to be president (I was sure it was a publicity stunt), and the feasibility of it actually happening. It isn’t the first time I’ve had to eat my proverbial hat. I doubt it will be the last.

I also will admit that the ending, when it came, was how I would have written it.

As the days since the election have passed, I, along with millions

of Americans, have spent countless hours thinking about this new reality we face. Some of us, to be sure, are thrilled. Others, many of whom can be seen nightly marching in the street, feel angry and betrayed.

But now, after a campaign season that saw a vast majority of Americans divided into two distinct teams, it seems a third group has emerged. We—and there seem to be more of us coming around

every day—could perhaps best be described as the heartbroken yet hopeful, those of us who recognize that the finale of this election, while not the one we wanted, is still a new beginning. And every new beginning brings with it the possibility that something truly wonderful can happen.

Yes, many of us are deeply disappointed. But we also know that this see NEXT, pg. 8

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist I had to wake up early one morning for an assignment, and, as I prepared breakfast, I heard the National Anthem on the television.

It brought back memories when stations would sign off each night, usually with flying jets, waving flags and playing the national anthem.

It seems like Fox News has renewed the old tradition not of signing off, but playing the national anthem at 6 a.m. each morning. The move should anger no one, but I would warn it might be too early for some patriots.

Stations don’t sign off anymore, and cable television quickly transformed into 24-hour television. I kind of miss the sign off. Not because I don’t need the same story repeated several dozen times a day absent of new developments. No, It’s because I miss a certain old sign off called The Circuit Rider.

I was never sure of the guy’s name but he rode a horse named Justice, who once was a prized racer but now trotted daily for the Lord carrying the circuit rider to his next venue.

Each evening, the circuit rider would remove his saddlebags and reveal the secret for that week.

Sometimes the bag would show up in strange places and he would elaborate on its significance. Other times, it might be a unique item unknown to most of his viewers.

The circuit rider was Reverend William Livermon, a Methodist minister from Cobbs Creek, Virginia, who modernized and revived an old Methodist tradition of traveling preachers who traveled from consee JUSTICE, pg. 8

In the race for the United States House of Representatives in District 1, Republican Rob Wittman retained the office with 229,889 votes, 59.94%, in defeating Democrat M.D. “Matt” Rowe, 140,039, 36.52%; Independent Gail Parker, 12,845, 3.35%; and write-in, 736, 0.19%.

Virginia voters also determined the fate of two constitutional amendments.

Question 1: Should Article I of the Constitution of Virginia be amended to prohibit any agreement or combination between an employer and a labor union or labor organization whereby (i) nonmembers of the union or organization are denied the right to work for the employer, (ii) membership to the union or organization is made a condition of employment or continuation of employment by such employer, or (iii) the union

He and his wife taped more than 60 segments that

a response had not been received from Hanover County Republican Party chair Russ Wright. If he does comment on his party’s victory, his remarks will be posted on social media and our website, www.mechlocal.com.

Voter Registrar Teresa “Teri” Smithson said Hanover County voters turned out in volume numbers on Election Day, with 57,249 of 77,384 casting their ballots. “We received over 600 phone calls on election day of voters trying to determine if they were registered to vote and where.”

She said her office did encounter “a bit of a rocky start in four of our precincts due to issues with our new optical scanners that were retro-fitted to our old ballot boxes. The technicians immediately identified the cause of the ballot jam and resolved the issue quickly.”

And, to no surprise, Hanover County faced long lines at some polling places.

“The Beaverdam precinct

had the longest lines of the day with wait times as long as an hour and a half,” Smithson said. “The team of four officers (two called out sick) successfully voted over 2,106 of 2,908 voters.

We have received some great feedback and support from the community. Businesses have adopted some of our polling precincts by bringing the Officers of Election food, coffee and a smile.”

Smithson summed up the day by saying: “Thank you, Hanover County voters, for your patriotism and your patience, making this election both successful and peaceful.”

Toni Radler, chair of the Hanover County Democratic Committee, said members “are dismayed and heartsick at the outcome of this election, losing it to the Electoral College vote, while winning the popular vote by more than one million votes. But it’s not the numbers that have us dismayed. It’s the person who won the election that

has us so concerned. Our next president is not a Mitt Romney, not a Jeb Bush, or even a Marco Rubio . . . all decent candidates with experience and understanding that we are a nation of laws.

“Instead, our next president is someone with no governmental experience, no community service and a seeming total lack of understanding of our nation’s founding principles . . . a man whose promises and statements bear no resemblance to reality . . . a man whose character seems more than flawed . . . a man with stranger than strange ties to Russia’s Vladimir Putin.”

Radler said the county Democrats “can only hope and pray that Donald Trump the president of the United States will be a different man than Donald Trump the candidate. It’s a possibility that we would welcome and support.

But, in case not, Hanover Democrats will be watching and working to protect the rights of all.”

M E C HA N IC S V I L L E — A concert of English choral music will be performed

by Sanctuary, the acclaimed compline choir of St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, Richmond, at 7 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 19, at historic Immanuel Episcopal Church at 3263 Old Church Rd. in Mechanicsville.

The hour-long event will be followed by a homemade soup sample buffet.

The event is part of Music in the Old Church, a series of uplifting community choral performances conducted

by Jimmy Hicks, Immanuel’s minister of music, as part of the church’s outreach ministry.

“Justice is the name of a grand old horse. Once he paced the racetrack but tonight he brings you a friend with a message.”

The films were grainy and

appeared vintage, but were actually shot on 8 mm by Livermon’s wife.

And it turns out The Circuit Rider is remembered by many locals, most of whom did not realize the inspirational words came from right down the road

near Gwynn’s Island.

Livermon died in 1992, but his son followed in his father’s tradition and became a Methodist minister in Gloucester.

And those tidbits of wisdom that Livermon and his wife so thoughtfully pro-

duced years ago are being transferred to more current platforms like DVD. Some will be pleased to hear the familiar words of our old sign off friend, a man who touched so many right before the television went fuzzy each night.

Today, The Circuit Rider’s segments appear on YouTube and the like, still grainy and under-produced, but still pertinent years after Livermon and Justice are long gone.

The old friend, the message and the saddlebag live on.

been inspiring in recent days to witness so many of his opponent’s supporters, even after such a brutal and divisive race, standing up to say that he deserves the chance to do just that.

As we move forward, I am hopeful that our country will continue to come together and begin to remember once

again what makes us a truly great nation. Democracy can be messy, as we’ve just seen, but the sooner we start dusting ourselves off and getting on with things, the better for all.

As for Mr. Trump, this hard-earned victory is only the beginning of what promises to be a long and difficult journey, during which he will

have to make good on his promises to the American people. He has been given the highest honor we have to give. It’s up to him to prove he’s worthy of it.

We’ll all be watching.

MARTHA W. HAND Martha W. Hand, 95, peace-

fully took the hand of Jesus to eternal life on November 10, 2016, surrounded by her children, grandchildren and loving sister. Martha was born in Southampton County to the late Naomi and Elpena Williams.

Martha’s (Granny, Nannie) greatest joy was her family.

Nothing made her smile more than a visit from her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren and her great-great grandchildren. She was preceded in death by her husband’s Charles Gray and George Hand, and her son Bruce Gray. She is survived by her remaining four children, Joyce Clyborne (Bill), Carolyn Cauble (Ed), Patsy Dawson (Jerry), and Rick Gray (Sherry); grandchildren, Ashley C. Hart (David), Stephanie C. Anderson (Tim), Allen Clyborne (Lindsey), Todd Cauble, Dawn Vermette (Steve), Kim D. Schold (Eric), Jay Dawson (Tiffany), Becky White, Stacy Baysden, and Stephanie Hildebrande;

great-grandchildren Gray, Luke and Will Hart, Kristan Grinstead, Ashley Harcum, Cole, Kelly, Jacob and Nick Dawson, Mason and Breaden White, Kristy and Kelsey Latmir, Gavin Rilee, Ross (Tara) and HAND Heather Schold; her great-great-grandchildren, Charlie Clyborne, Phoebe Jean Harcum, Leia Hildebrande, Lakaia Grinstead, Carmen Jimenez, and Jack, Ben and William Schold. She also is survived by her devoted and loving sister Louise Parker — they were known to many as the “The Go-Go” Sisters. She also was survived by her sister, Mary Elizabeth Whitley of Suffolk. Growing up in a large farming family instilled a strong

work ethic that was the driving force in everything that Martha would accomplish throughout her life. After losing her husband in a tragic accident at the age of 37 Martha soon found employment to support her five children through her special friend, Tony Mehford. She would discover that her love for working would continue until her 90th birthday. One of her favorite jobs was working for Fred Anderson at the Henrico County Library for 11 years.

Thinking she might retire, she soon found out that was not for her and began her career in China and Silver at Thalhimers that lasted for 26 years. After retiring from Thalhimers, both Martha and her friend Patty Pitts would begin their adventures in part-time employment — and there were many. One of their favorites was working at Kings Dominion. While at Kings Dominion, they got up the courage to ride the kiddy Roller Coaster — while scream-

ing through the entire ride. Her next adventure began while strolling through the woods where Covenant Woods was being built and decided to apply for a job at Covenant Woods.

Beginning her last journey in the work force, Martha began working at Covenant Woods three days before it opened. As the hostess in the Dining Room, she was known as “Granny” and would work for 14 years until her retirement at 90. Her friendships at Covenant Woods and Christian Village were such a significant part of her life. Those special friendships remembered her with cards and visits for the rest of her life. She so loved her church family at Shalom Baptist and her minister Rev. Mark Miller. For many years she had the card ministry, never forgetting to send cards to the shutins of Shalom. She later loved being the recipient of cards from Shalom and from other special friends she had met along the see OBITUARIES, pg. 12

way. She saved every card and nothing made her happier than receiving one in her mailbox.

Martha was a Master Gardner and took great pride in reviving all her friends African Violets.

An avid reader of the newspaper, Martha was always in tune with current events. Her daily routine would include solving her word puzzles each day -- especially enjoying the Bible Word Puzzles. In 2015, Martha would move to The Hermitage where new friendships would begin. She loved looking out the window at the beautiful flowers planted for each season at The Hermitage. Her family will always be grateful for the loving care she received at The Hermitage from all the staff.

SHLAND – Participants are invited to join in a Community Chorus that will lead the Sing-Along for the Light up the Tracks event at 5:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 3, at the Hanover Arts and Activities Center.

Ashland Main Street Association, the Town of Ashland, CSX, Amtrak and other cooperating groups such as Randolph-Macon College and the Hanover Arts and Activities Center are leading the Light Up the Tracks event.

The goal is to create a “holiday card” atmosphere in Ashland, and especially along the railroad tracks, through festive decorations and lights that will entertain train passengers, crews, visitors and those who live here.

At 5:30 p.m. Dec. 3, there will be a countdown and the giant Christmas tree and other

music during the 30-minute Sing-Along that will follow the lighting of the tree.

“We encourage anyone who can sing, young and old — kindergarten age and up — to

come to the only rehearsal for this program, on Thursday, Dec. 1, at 7 p.m. at the Hanover Arts and Activities Center,” the trio said. “There will be a song that requires harmony, singing in parts, and other songs that will be sung all together.”

Watson said they will “repeat the ‘Twelve Days of Christmas’ song and would like to have the performers from last year to re-enact their impressive roles.

She also said that others may want to join in.

Since there will be only one rehearsal, attendance is essential to be a part of this choir.

“We encourage good singers of all ages (kindergarten and up) to come and help lead the entire greater Ashland community in our giant sing-along,” Foley added.

RICHMOND – Two investigators with the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office were recognized at the 27th Annual Valor Awards Ceremony & Breakfast.

The event was organized to honor first responders.

Col. David R. Hines, sheriff of Hanover County, presented awards to Matthew McGrain and David Parrish.

According to Hines, the investigators were named recipients of the Valor Awards because of an incident that took place Oct. 13, 2015.

The sheriff said that the two Hanover investigators were conducting an unrelated investigation near the Hanover and Louisa County line.

While traveling in the area, a call for service was dispatched for shots fired from a nearby residence.

Ordinarily, Hines said, “these plain-clothed investigators operating an unmarked vehicle would not respond to such a call for service.

They would have allowed uniformed patrol units in marked vehicles the opportunity to respond and investigate.”

McGrain and Parrish said they realized the

seriousness of the call as the 911 dispatcher noted that a female was heard screaming on the back deck of the residence and two shots were heard.

Due to the volatile nature of the call and their proximity to the scene, Investigators McGrain and Parrish made the quick decision to address the potential active shooting.

While responding, McGrain and Parrish gathered and donned their body armor. As they strategically approached the home they could hear a woman frantically screaming near the rear of the house.

The two investigators rounded the rear side of the house. On the back deck, they encountered a male suspect armed with a handgun squatting over the sobbing female victim. She was seated against a railing on the back porch with her hands bound together with zip ties.

Another female, later identified as her mother, was standing behind the suspect while clutching a baby in her arms. The investigators verbally challenged the man and gave repeated verbal commands.

The suspect initially hesitated and failed to respond to their commands. The investigators were concerned by his proximity to the

was approved in 2012.

The board gave Maloney the nod to proceed with the tentative schedule that begins the long process of updating the current plan.

Public meetings are scheduled to begin in May, when the board will hold a joint meeting with the Hanover County Planning Commission, Hanover County Economic Development Authority and the Hanover County School Board, the latter representing its first time being involved in the process.

In a somewhat related matter, Maloney asked the board to consider advertising an amendment to the Comp Plan that would increase the size of the Village Zoning District in Montpelier by about a third.

The request was prompted by a request from Douglas Harris to change the land use designation from Agricultural to Rural Village for about 40 acres of land located south of the established village.

Harris said he plans to

establish a convenience store and restaurant, drive-in movie theatre and an area for special events.

Maloney and his staff recommended denial of this application.

“Staff does not recommend enlarging the rural village in this area,” Maloney said. “Rural villages are intended to recognize and preserve existing village areas. This village is well outside of the Montpelier village.”

Maloney suggested the board consider the land use as part of the upcoming Comprehensive Plan update.

South Anna District supervisor Wayne Hazzard questioned the validity of that solution due to the time element involved.

Hazzard asked why this request would require that all land surrounding the project be designated as rural village.

“I’m just confused as to why we couldn’t just rezone this piece of property,” Hazzard said. “I’m just curious as to why it wouldn’t be appropriate to see COMP, pg. 19

Hanover Vipers defeat New Kent Giants 8-1 to win tournament Photos submitted by Kyle Bowles

The Hanover Vipers recently defeated the New Kent Giants 8-1 in the championship game to win the season-ending USSSA 11U tournament in Hopewell.

The Vipers defeated teams from Emporia and Glen Allen earlier in the day and finished with three victories and no defeats for the tournament. The Vipers received outstanding pitching all day long with dominant complete game gems from Hudson Williams (14 strikeouts), Ty Herndon (victory in championship game) and Seth Jones.

Jones threw a four inning no hitter while also hitting his first homer in walk-off fashion in the same game.

Catching all three of these games was Brent Bainbridge who enjoyed an outstanding day making major contributions in a variety of ways. James Taylor, Maddux Bowles, Ryan Crist, Eric Ludwig and Aven Stevens enjoyed big days at the plate while Adam Pitts knocked in two runs with a double in Game 2. The Vipers played stellar defense all day long, featuring outstanding individual plays from Herndon, Crist, Ludwig and Bowles. The Vipers finish the Fall Season with a record of 7-4-1 and are currently ranked 12th in the Commonwealth of Virginia’s USSSA 11U AA Power Rankings. The team is shown above. The photo at right shows Maddux Bowles batting and Ty Herndon (No. 99) watching the play. From left at the bottom are Eric Ludwig and Brent Bainbridge.

three victims and continued to use verbal de-escalating techniques as they moved closer toward the suspect.

Fortunately, the suspect dropped the firearm on the porch and stepped away from the victims. At that time, the investigators handcuffed the man and took him into custody without further incident.

The victim later disclosed that they had all been abducted following a doctor’s appointment. A verbal argument ensued and, at some point, the man fired a shot in the air before threatening to kill her.

He then did so a second time and by then, the investigators had arrived.

“For their impeccable professional judgment, decisive actions, and exhibitions of bravery,” McGrain and Parrish received the Bronze Valor Award.

“If it’s not compatible with the neighbors who are there, I don’t think we could approve it,” Hazzard said.

Maloney pointed out that those same neighbors would have the opportunity to voice their concerns during the public comment period surrounding the Comprehensive Plan update.

“I think it’s important for the citizens to weigh in during that process,” he said.

This program was created

by Retail Merchants (RMA), along with community partners, to celebrate the courageous acts of the region’s First Responders and their families, with special recognition for those who have gone above and beyond the call of duty.

This year’s breakfast ceremony celebrated area First Responders from Ashland, Chesterfield, Goochland, Hanover, Henrico, Powhatan and Richmond as well as J. Sargeant Reynolds Police, University of Richmond Police, Virginia Commonwealth University Police, Virginia State University Police, and Virginia Union University Police.

Maloney said citizens might opt out of a small commercial node or an expansion of the village.

“That’s the mechanism we can use to make that determination,” Maloney said.

Hazzard said he favored the commercial node approach, but moved to defer a vote on the application for 30 days.

Chairman Aubrey Stanley, Beaverdam District, said the concept presented by Harris is sound. “I can

This year’s recipients serve the areas of Richmond City and the surrounding counties of Chesterfield and Hanover, as well as Virginia Commonwealth University.

Overall, there were 25 Valor Award recipients, six of whom received the Gold Valor Award, the highest award given to an individual.

The Valor Awards Ceremony attracts several hundred attendees each year, reflecting the community’s appreciation for these men and women.

Due to overwhelming community involvement and support, the event was expanded to all three ballrooms at the GRCC. Over 1,100 attendees registered to attend this year’s event.

Every year, area chiefs of Fire/EMS and Police are asked to nominate candidates for the

The board voted 6-1 to defer, with Prichard casting the opposing vote.

County attorney Sterling Rives told board members that addressing this land use issue through the Comprehensive Plan has advantages over its consideration as a rezoning

Valor Awards.

Honors are awarded based on three sets of criteria which the nominees must meet to receive a Gold, Silver, or Bronze Valor award.

Criteria for each classification are as follows: GOLD — The highest award to an individual in recognition of an act involving extreme personal risk, which is clearly above and beyond the call of duty.

SILVER — Awarded to an individual in recognition of acts involving great personal risk, which is clearly above and beyond the call of duty.

BRONZE — Awarded to an individual in recognition of acts involving unusual personal risk beyond what is expected while performing their usual responsibilities. Bronze awards may also be presented to officers who demonstrate unusual judgment, zeal or ingenuity.

“If you were to approve such an application, the question is where in the rural area would you deny such an application,” Rives said.

“Comprehensive planning forces localities to view individual rezoning applications in a larger context – in the context of the Comprehensive Plan so that you don’t focus on only this applicant but the community as it is today and how it is planned for the future.”

Building for America’s Bravest was developed with the goal of offering America’s returning heroes the opportunity to live better, more independent lives.

Each “smart home” is built to be energy efficient, automated and easily accessible, with customized features to suit the needs of the individual recipient.

For three years, Carpet One Floor & Home has provided the flooring installation for every “smart home” built, while partner company Mohawk Industries has provided the floors.

“In partnering with Carpet One Floor & Home, we knew that we’d be supported by passionate, local business owners with the knowledge and experience necessary to produce beautiful, quality floors suited to the needs of each individual,” Frank Siller chairman and CEO of the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation, said. “Their efforts have made a significant difference in the lives of many heroes over the last

three years.”

Across the nation, Carpet One Floor & Home stores have come together with other local businesses to help build “smart homes” for catastrophically-injured heroes returning home to their communities.

To date, the company has provided the flooring and installation for 26 “smart homes,”

Carpet One Floor & Home Co-CEO Howard Brodsky said. “Watching Carpet One Floor & Home stores and their local communities come together to support these worthy individuals has been one of the most rewarding endeavors our company has experienced.”

with five currently in progress. Together with Mohawk, their three-year commitment to the construction of “smart homes” will total $2.3 million in contributions.

“Partnering with the Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers Foundation and its Building for America’s Bravest program has been a privilege,”

ness at the local level through in-store initiatives, and at the national level through public relations and marketing efforts.

Most recently, Carpet One Floor & Home participated in the 15th annual Stephen Siller Tunnel to Towers 5K Run/Walk in New York City, raising over $100,000 for Tunnel to Towers’

mission, which is to honor and support first responders and the military.

Customers also are offered the opportunity to support the worthy cause, with donations of any denomination welcomed at local Carpet One Floor & Home stores across the nation.

“Supporting Building For America’s Bravest has been a gratifying experience,” Matt Shelton of L & M Carpet One Floor & Home said. “Our contributions are making a difference in the daily lives of our nation’s heroes, and, for us, that feels like the ultimate way to thank them for their sacrifice.”

Big third quarter lifts Patriots over Falcons

By Arthur Utley For The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – The No. 8 vs. No. 9 game in any playoff bracket is usually viewed as a tossup between equal teams.

Patrick Henry entered its 5A North first-round postseason matchup with Briar Woods of Ashburn as the No. 8 seed and sporting a 7-3 regular-season record. Despite a 4-6 record, the visiting Falcons got the ninth seed based on a VHSL power rating generated by their strength of schedule.

Friday night’s tossup ended after a close first half. Patrick Henry obliterated a 4-point halftime deficit by scoring 43 points in the second half, 28 in the third quarter, and rolled to a 53-28 victory.

The Patriots (8-3) ended a two-game losing streak at the end of the regular season with their first playoff victory in 10 years. They will travel to topseeded Massaponax in next week’s second round. Patrick Henry lost in the first round of the 2014 postseason.

“We just made plays. The kids were in the right spot and were afforded the plays, and they made them,” Patrick Henry coach Bryan Davis said. “Devyn Coles made a big kickoff return and an interception. Rashad Mallory had an interception for a touchdown. We had fumble recoveries. That’s just being

The Patriots also had their share of penalties: 15, including several personal fouls. But the penalties were the result of

hard-driving play.

“We had three dead ball penalties as far as personal fouls or something like that. And we had some offside penalties, too,” Davis said. “Sometimes when you’re asking the kids to play

extremely hard, it’s hard to turn it off, especially when it’s teenagers. I don’t think we did anything malicious. It wasn’t with our mouth. We weren’t running our mouth. We were just playing hard so you have to kind of

take it a little bit. It is what it is.”

MIDLOTHIAN – Tuesday night turned out to be rivalry night at the Region 5A South boys volleyball semifinals at Meadowbrook High School.

There were runs and comebacks. There were stealthy servers and hot hitters. Most of all, there was a team that remained in power and another that succumbed to pressure.

By the time it was over, the Patrick Henry boys upset Atlee 25-21, 18-25, 25-23, 25-18.

“It feels great. If we were ever going to beat Atlee, now was the time to do that,” said Patrick Henry senior setter Adam Lane, whose team got its first win see ADVANCE, pg. 39

Douglas Freeman ends Confederates’ season end zone. Playoff football. Gotta make big plays.”

On their first possession after the break, the Confederates traveled 56 yards on six plays, the last a 12-yard TD pass from Lass to Jamon Coffey on fourthand-6.

Thrice more they made forays into Freeman territory.

Murphy blocked a 29-yard field goal attempt to end the first.

The Rebels’ defense stopped the other two in the final quarter.

Freeman amassed 297 yards (146 rushing, 151 passing) on 47 plays. Lee-Davis had 233 yards (120 by land, 113 by air) on 49 plays.

“This was a really good football game between two really good football teams,” said Henderson, the Rebels’ coach.

“We knew we had to battle hard. The guys in our locker room believed.”

By Weldon Bradshaw For the Times-Dispatch RICHMOND – Win the mind game. Win the heart game.

Win the Lee-Davis game.

That was the plan. The Douglas Freeman Rebels executed the plan.

Friday night, two weeks after a ragged showing at Mills Godwin and a week after a 45-7 thumping by Hermitage, coach Mike Henderson’s Freeman squad knocked off the visiting Confederates 14-7 at William E. Long Stadium in the first round of the 5A South playoffs.

“We were thinking all week, it’s win or go home,” said Trey Laughlin, Freeman’s senior quarterback, who completed 9 of 15 passes for 151 yards and a touchdown. “Our guys are so good at getting back into the right mindset. All that other stuff was behind us. We watched film. We got over it.

We got ready for this game.”

Freeman, 10-1 and No. 8 in The Times-Dispatch Top 10, used a Luke Murphy interception to launch a seven-play, 64-yard drive that ended with a 24-yard touchdown run by Korry Cooper at 0:44 of the first quarter.

The No. 9 Confederates (83) responded with a vengeance, but the Rebels defense held fast on fourth-and-1 on the 4-yard line.

Lee-Davis running back Nathan Evans (2) slips past some Douglas Freeman defenders for a first down in the Rebels’ 14-7 win.

Lass would be Freeman’s modus operandi throughout the breezy evening.

“We just keyed in on their formations, really,” said Nick Ackies, a 6-3, 277-pound senior defensive tackle. “They only run a couple of plays on each forma-

tion. We studied them all week and knew where everybody was lining up.

“We didn’t have the best game last week. We wanted to have a much better game tonight. Doing that was a lot easier than you might think.”

Hart scored his second rushing touchdown 2 minutes later after Mallory recovered a Falcons’ fumble. The Patriots recovered two fumbles and intercepted two passes, including Mallory’s 65-yard return

“In practice, we’ve been going over the same thing every day. Read the tackle. Low hat run; high hat drop back. I just read the tackle and dropped back with my eyes on the ball and just caught it. It dropped

Suliman wins another 5A cross country title

By Dylan Garner Richmond Times-Dispatch THE PLAINS — On Sept.

17, Douglas Freeman senior Waleed Suliman took his first lead of the season at the William & Mary Invitational.

Six meets and almost two months later, he never lost that lead.

He carried it all the way to another state championship.

Suliman jogged across the finish line in 15:13 and won his second consecutive 5A state cross country title on the second day of state championships at the Great Meadow Foundation on Saturday.

The Deep Run boys clinched the second state title of the day for Richmond, taking the 5A team championship with 76 points over runner-up Glen Allen (105). The Lee-Davis boys finished eighth – one point behind 6th place Albemarle – and the Confederate girls finished 11th in their respective races. Atlee’s boys finished 12th.

After his win, the celebration initially was put on hold for Suliman, as he whisked away to find some relief from the 40-degree temperatures. After warming up in his Turkey Trot long-sleeve T-shirt, the backto-back titles and the 6-for-6 season set in for the Jordanian runner.

“I’m glad that I had the opportunity to do that. ...

There was a lot of competition,” Suliman said, listing many of his opponents throughout the season. “I’m pretty sure our state is gonna have a bright future with runners. So far, we have a lot of good runners, and I’m proud to be one of them.”

He’s the first Richmond-area runner since Thomas Dale’s Alex Tatu to win consecutive VHSL state cross country cham-

Above, Douglas Freeman’s Waleed Suliman (344), Lee-Davis’ Jack Ikenberry (834) and Deep Run’s Bashir Mosavel-Lo (319) lead the pack at the start of the boys race in the Virginia High School League Group 5A state cross country championships at Great Meadow Park Saturday. Suliman and Mosavel-Lo finished first and second, respectively, while Ikenberry finished ninth.

pionships. Tatu won the Group AAA races in 2001-02.

Suliman was quick to distribute credit for his win, starting with his coach, Brian Reutinger.

“He took me all the way on this journey and brought me all the way here,” said Suliman.

“Without him, I wouldn’t be able to do anything.”

He also was happy with the combined success of himself and teammate Ryan McCracken, who finished eighth. It was the best performance by a pair of Rebels at the state meet.

It’s the manner in which Suliman has taken in his victories that has impressed his

The Mechanicsville Local

coach the most.

“It’s been awesome just because of where he started from to where he is now. And just how gracious he’s been, how good of a sport he’s been, how much of a teammate he’s been, and how much of a great competitor with the people he competes against,” said Reutinger.

“He’s down to earth, just a great kid. It’s good to see.”

Within sight of Suliman at the finish line was Deep Run senior Bashir Mosavel-Lo, who powered his way to a runnerup finish in 15:26. While he has individually fallen in place behind Suliman the past couple of months, Mosavel-Lo got his

share of fulfillment as he saw his next two teammates finish.

“To be able to turn around and see my boys from Deep Run finishing, to see them all killing their races: It was better than anything I could’ve done,” said Mosavel-Lo. “It made me very happy.”

After Lee-Davis’ Jack

Ikenberry finished ninth.

“It was really tough,” Ikenberry said. “I went out a little fast, but it’s OK, though.

I’m just really glad I got what I got.”

Lee-Davis head coach Neil Mathews said Ikenberry’s performance was a marked improvement over last year.

“Jack Ikenberry, he was all state. We’re real pleased with that, as he bounced back from last year’s state meet, which was a disappointment for him,” Mathews said. “He really wanted to right the ship this year and he ran really, really well in his third trip to the state meet.”

Deep Run juniors Matthias Cannon and Zachary Levet dove across the finish line side by side. Both were timed at 15:55, although the timer gave Cannon the edge for 10th place by a fraction. Atlee’s top finisher was Connor Moses, who came in 42nd in 16:57.

The performances from Mosavel-Lo, Cannon and Levet set the foundation. Colby Burcham and Austin Cook did enough to finish it.

“It was like no feeling that I could really put in words. Just to know that your team left it all out there. It kind of completes the season and completes what we’ve been trying to be as a team,” Mosavel-Lo said. “To see them have some of their best races where it really counts is just unbelievable.”

The Wildcats finally got the ending they wanted after going back and forth with Glen Allen the past two weeks, winning the Conference 11 meet and losing the 5A South meet.

“To put it honest, they kicked butt this week,” Reutinger said.

“For the most part, I don’t think there’s been a team today that’s been as dominant as that boys performance was.”

Glen Allen senior Caroline Robelen was the top Richmond finisher in the girls race, taking fourth place in 18:15 and leading the Jaguars to fourth as a team. Deep Run sophomore Lily Snow crossed the line in sixth (18:25), with the Wildcats following the Jaguars in fifth. see SULIMAN, pg. 38

Raiders fall in 5A North first round

Dave Lawrence/The Local

Hanover’s Andrew Moore (12) gets a kill off of Colonial Heights’ Noah Bryant (19) in the Hawks’ 25-20, 11-25, 25-23, 25-20, 15-10 victory over the host Colonials in the first round of the Region 4A East Western Division tournament on Nov. 8.

Hawks boys earn state tourney berth

By Laura Fien Richmond Times-Dispatch MIDLOTHIAN – The Monacan boys volleyball team has had one goal all season: Win a state title.

The Chiefs, who fell one game shy of the state tournament last season in coach Josh Shrader’s second year as coach, moved one step closer to reaching that goal by beating Hanover 31-29, 26-24, 29-27 in the Region 4A Western finals at Monacan High School on Thursday night.

The Hawks, by way of their 25-20, 11-25, 25-23, 20-25, 15-10 victory over Colonial Heights on Nov. 8 to reach the title game, likewise have another week to play. They traveled to Great Bridge Tuesday night in the Group 4A semifinals after this edition went to press.

“I like to talk about it because it was an amazing experience and something you

will never forget,” said Shrader.

“It’s all about them though.

I’m so proud of what they are accomplishing. They have really worked hard to get to where they are.”

The Chiefs’ dominant offense has gotten them this far.

They rallied after being down 22-18 late in the first set to tie Hanover at 23.

“We just needed a couple of kills to get our energy back up.

We shouldn’t have gotten off to the slow start that we did,” said Monacan outside hitter Lance Johnson, who recorded six kills in the first set on the way to a match-high 24.

After being able to return almost everything that came its way, Hanover forced the first set into extras before finally succumbing.

“Hanover has a really good defense. We just had to get creative about where we were putting the ball,” said Monacan setter Drew Buckley, who had

multiple assists to four different hitters in the second set.

“I am just lucky to have ... incredible hitters in the front row that can put down anything I throw at them. They make my job easy.”

Monacan trailed 4-1 in the second set before taking a 1211 lead, which is when Hanover started passing the ball to more of its hitters and tied the score at 24.

But the Chiefs won the set for a 2-0 lead.

The Chiefs got off to another slow in the third set before they were able to rally for another come-from-behind win to complete the sweep.

“It was exhausting,” said Shrader. “We had trouble getting into our rhythm tonight.

Luckily my guys have faced adversity plenty of times already this season, so this was nothing

new to them. I was just glad they could come out with the win.”

The Hawks had to battle to earn their state tournament berth against Colonial Heights.

After Hanover took a one-game lead, the Colonials, on their home court, easily manhandled the Hawks in the second game to get some momentum. From then on, it was close until the fifth game, when Hanover rolled out to a commanding early lead.

“It’s the same thing we’ve been struggling with all season – just that consistency throughout an entire game, throughout match,” said Hanover head coach Hilary Cassil.

The consistency bug bit in the deciding game, too, and Cassil had to call a time out before the Colonials overtook her team.

“I told them to just simplify,” Cassil said. “Make sure that we were playing our game because we were trying to run too much instead of just making the simple plays and getting

“I’m feeling good now that it’s over. I hurt really bad during it,” Van Ess said. “I started out in the back, but I really wanted to get top 15, so I just kept moving up, kept moving up – and at one point I was top 15. Then I got passed at the last straightaway. It

was very disappointing.”

Despite Van Ess’ disappointment, she finished with a personal record time.

Atlee’s sole girl runner, Laney Owen, finished 85th in 21:29.

Group 4A: Senior Court Warfield placed 11th overall, and he led a balanced attack for Midlothian, which placed runner-up behind Loudoun Valley for the boys team title.

Yellow Jackets win The Game, ODAC title

By Brad Bess Richmond Times-Dispatch HAMPDEN-SYDNEY – It wasn’t about getting to hoist the ODAC championship trophy or about keeping The Game Ball trophy in Ashland for a third summer. It wasn’t about tying the program record for wins in a season.

All of that was undoubtedly special.

But what meant the most to Randolph-Macon after its 4823 win at Hampden-Sydney on Saturday was the simple fact that it will have at least one more game.

The Yellow Jackets will travel to Johns Hopkins University Saturday at noon in the first round of the NCAA Division III playoffs.

Freshman quarterback Burke Estes threw two touchdown passes in his first college start, Tre Frederick rushed for two touchdowns and caught another, and Randolph-Macon (9-1, 6-1 ODAC) won its first conference championship since 2008 in front of 10,500 at Lewis C. Everett Stadium.

“It’s a little surreal right now,” said Yellow Jackets coach Pedro Arruza, moments after winning his second conference title. “This has been one of my favorite groups of kids to work with. I mean, these guys are fighters. They’re so bought into what we’re doing, and they really love each other and play hard for each other.

“People think you’re motivated by your hatred of your opponent, but I think these guys play hard because they

care about each other. That’s what drives them and motivates them.”

Randolph-Macon is awaiting today’s NCAA’s announcement on who it will face in the first round of the playoffs.

Estes completed 18 of 28 passes for 329 yards and two touchdowns. He had attempted 20 passes in two appearances before Saturday.

“He played lights out,” Arruza said. “Kid’s a winner.”

Frederick, the ODAC’s leading rusher, finished with 83 yards on 18 carries. He caught two passes for 47 yards.

Trey Owens caught five passes for 115 yards. Sean McDonald caught three for 85 yards and a score.

The teams combined for 47 points in the first half with neither team attempting a punt until Randolph-Macon did so with 9:50 left before halftime.

The Randolph-Macon defense was allowing 10.2 points per game entering Saturday.

After allowing 23 first-half points, it held the Tigers (3-7, 34) scoreless in the second half.

“We’ve been a second-half team for most of the year,” said senior safety Eric Long of the Yellow Jackets. “... On the defense, nine seniors started today. There’s not a whole lot we haven’t seen. You get those guys out there, we’re not really going to be rattled by a whole lot.

“It’s absolutely incredible, this feeling that I have right now. After these past couple of seasons that have been pretty rough, being able to go 9-1 with the kind of guys we have in this program really shows that we’re

It was the Raiders’ first loss of the season.

That was easier said than done, though. In the third set, the Patriots gave up a 7-point lead to the Raiders, who were about to take a lead in the match until Patrick Henry regrouped
