this site. There was something special about this place so we decided to put the memorial here,” said Aubrey Stratton, one of the original members of the Hanover Veterans Committee.

Situated on a small knoll at the Hanover Wayside Park, the memorial has been a gathering place for those who served, and a place to remember the brave soldiers who did not return.

Ten years later, the crowds seem to increase with each Memorial Day ceremony, and last week’s special recognition of the 10-year anniversary of the site attracted record numbers.

Members of that original committee were recognized during this year’s ceremony, and sat together in a roped off section.

Included in that group were co founders Jack Ward and John Gordon. Ward served as a pilot in the U.S. Air Force and Gordon served in Vietnam in the Army.

Ward said the original idea was less extensive than the eventual finished product. “John and I were talking about a monument of some type, but this is more than that — really first class,” Ward said.

Both said the continued support for the memorial exhibits more than a few Veterans with a desire to honor their fallen brothers and sisters.

“This shows that the people of Hanover County do appreciate the sacrifices,” Ward said.

“This is a great source of pride for me not only personally or shared pride with Jack, but for the citizens of Hanover County for supporting

this,” Gordon said.

Gordon said the message is clear to him and other Veterans. “This demonstrates that people do care. People do appreciate the service that we rendered.”

Ward, Gordon and other attendees heard an inspiring message of patriotism from Lt. Colonel Jon C. Hatfield, a speech that outlined the responsibilities of citizenship.

Hatfield expressed concern that events like last week’s Memorial Day ceremony do not attract large numbers of the nation’s youth, a troublesome trend that reflects a deeper problem.

“Younger generations are not as prone to volunteer to serve as previous generations have been,” Hatfield said. “As a group young people seem less willing to serve others for the greater good. Less than 1 percent of our population today is involved with the military.”

Gordon agreed. “It is our responsibility to teach them the value of service.”

Supervisor Sean Davis said preserving the time-honored tradition of service is an important value to pass on.

“The reality is that there’s a wide generational gap when it comes to our military,” Davis said.

“Today’s youth have so many other demands on their time. The general’s point was well taken when he said ‘if not you, then who?’”

Hatfield singled out Vets and their families in the audience for recognition. “I’d like to thank all of the Veterans here today for their service and sacrifice. Without you, and your comrades who made the ultimate sacrifice, we could not gather here today for this ceremony. They gave their tomorrows so you and I could have today.”

Plague of addiction takes too many too soon

Responding to party chair’s Russian remarks

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor ords should come easy for someone who has spent most of her life writing, but some subjects are difficult to approach and address. Such is the case as to what’s taking place in my hometown and cities and towns across our great nation.

Drug addiction claimed three lives in recent weeks. The most recent was the son of a friend of 45 years. I don’t know what went wrong in his life that led him down the path of addiction.

He was raised in a Christian home; he had served his country in Iraq; he was a husband and father. What is the turning point?

Thinking about my friend, who is a minister, and his wife has been heartbreaking the past week.

There’s no doubt in my mind they did a great job at raising their children and instilling the values to go forth in the world with God’s guidance.

To help her cope and spread the word of addiction, the mother of another one of the vic-

W

tims wrote a book in memory of her son. Sales are soaring as the community supports her efforts to teach all ages about the destruction of drugs.

As a teenager in the 1970s, like Arlo Guthrie sang with “Alice’s Restaurant,” you could get anything you want in that small city in the coalfields of West Virginia.

There is a struggle in finding the words to convey what is taking place in communities of all sizes. What drives someone to that dependence — especially when it would appear they have so much to live for and appreciate.

When I arrived in Mechanicsville, it reminded me a lot of my hometown. That is, with the exception of the expanse of the land and the everincreasing population.

There’s a small town feel about Mechanicsville — and I like that. Everybody pretty much knows everybody and you can expect a “Hi, how are you?” or “Hello. Have a good day.” That’s what makes it home.

We aren’t shielded from the evils of the world, but we are very fortunate that our county does not suffer the horrors of drugs seen in our neighbor-

ing counties and cities.

Are we exempt? Of course not. But we are not reporting the kinds of stories of deaths as are being told in a small town about 350 miles from here.

I really worry when I think about those who return from war-torn areas after serving their country in the military. I don’t now if that played any part in my friend’s son’s death, but PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome) came to mind when I learned he had been in Iraq.

As you all well know, another advantage of that small town feel is the closeness in times of sorrow.

There’s a unity that can’t be broken.

We rejoice as one and we mourn as one.

With thoughts turning to young lives lost too soon, it is with a prayerful heart that families will heal as they look back on the good times. We also can hope for lessons learned.

No one can imagine the loss or why the attraction is so strong to something so lethal.

If you have a child, no matter the age, hug him or her now.

I am writing in reply to the letter in the May 17 edition from Toni Radler, chair of the Hanover County Democratic Committee, that pushed the same old Democratic lie about the Russians putting President Trump in office.

Just remember that the Democrats never offer any proof only accusations.

Tell a lie often enough and some fools will believe it.

I voted at Lee-Davis High School and did not see Russian President Vladimir Putin or any Russian agents around to tell me how to vote as the Democratic Party chair would have us believe.

Actually the facts, real facts, show a much closer relationship between Democrats and the Russians.

How about Mrs. Clinton giving the Russians 20% of our uranium production? Or Obama telling the Russian ambassador that he could do more for them after the election? Poor Democrats.

Prior to President Trump firing The celebrations might seem old the end of one phase of life and the former FBI Director James Comey, a hat to those on the outside, but for beginning of another, a time when complete political hack, the Democrats the millions of Americans involved innocence blends with reality. were talking about how bad he was, in graduation this year, it marks the I’ve sat through quite a few gradubut quickly changed to him being beginning of lives that hold promise some kind of abused hero.

The coming months of life will offer the first sign of life’s real lessons that do demand attention, and endless words of advice won’t change or prepare the graduates for what lies ahead. Most will soon deal with the

project and review the various detour phases and their anticipated timing during the 20172018 school year.

Citizens will be able to ask questions and get answers about the project.

Construction will last more than a year and will involve multiple road closings and detours.

Traffic detour impacts will begin in October.

Detours will affect routes to schools and some

real challenges of life that mold and make us, and the memories associated with the celebration of graduation will fade.

That’s not to say the pomp and circumstance are not important.

Recognizing years of packed lunches, last-minute projects and overladen backpacks is a deserved rite of passage, for students and parents.

But, as many speakers will tell you, the important stuff begins now for the graduates, and the true signs of success don’t always come in evaluations and grades. They’ll take the lessons learned in the classroom into the real life laboratory called

school bus routes. Construction will not be completed until the fall of 2018.

The project includes construction of a bridge over the railroad, closure of the existing rail crossing and Cool Spring Road connection to Atlee Station Road. Cool Spring Road will be connected to the new Atlee Road Extended.

The project also includes a traffic signal at Atlee Station Road and the new Atlee Road extension.

Sidewalks and accommodations for bicycles will

life, and rewards won’t come easy and some won’t be celebrated.

The challenge of devising advice for graduation students must be overwhelming. What do you tell a group of graduates whose only real desire is to see the ceremony end and the party begin?

Far be it from me to provide those answers but there are simple bits of truth that have stood the test of time and often find their way in to commencement exercises across the nation.

Those messages of patriotism, community service, charity and commitment are all prudent and

also be constructed as part of this project.

Maps and additional information can be viewed at http://www.virginiadot.org/projects/ richmond/atlee_road_extension_in_hanover. asp Variable message boards will be placed announcing the detours at least two weeks prior to any change in traffic patterns.

real examples of good advice that can provide inspiration for a lifetime.

I also heard one speaker stress the importance of something graduates often overlook as they embark on careers seeking fame and fortune. The ability to remain optimistic in a world that often attempts to dismay might serve these graduates well as they take their first steps in to the real world.

Don’t let the defeats define you, or the worries of a society guide your life. On the worst day, a tiny bit of optimism can yield amazing results and can often change the flavor of a situation.

I know it’s simple advice, but sometimes the best counsel also is the most basic.

WWF CEO Vince McMahon is not the person I would choose to speak at my graduation. But, his attitude on optimism is spot on and worth repeating to all embarking on a new journey through uncharted waters.

Regarding optimism McMahon once said. “I’m an optimistic person.

If there is a pile of horse manure under the Christmas tree, there has to be a pony somewhere.”

To the graduates of 2017, go find your pony.

tion, (the main fermentation phase).

The project was taken to another level this spring, when Dr. Lim-Fong decided to bring her microbiology students on board to work on isolating more strains from the wort samples. Along with using experimentation to isolate further strains, they participated in a wort share. Brewer Winston Percefull made a basic wort using pilsner malt for students to brew with. The students spent the day watching the mash-in and mash-out process (how wort is made) and got some basic brewing instruction from Harrison Baronian, COTU’s head brewer.

“Brewing is a natural context for learning microbiology: beer is made by a microbe (yeast), which carry out fermentation (a metabolic process) in wort (the product of

enzymatic action on starches in malt) that also contain hops (which has antibiotic properties),” explains Dr. Fong.

Each student team was given 5 gallons of wort to make into beer using ingredients of their choosing. Some dry hopped their beer, some added Lactobacillus to sour the beer, and others added fruit.

Pvt. Austin S. Englehart graduated on March 31 from Mike CO 3016 Marine Corps Recruit Depot in Parris Island, South Carolina. He is shown at his formal graduation from USMC Boot Camp and holding a copy of The Mechanicsville Local at his Marine Combat Training facility at Camp Geiger.

OBITUARIES | Death Notices & Funerals EVERETTE G. ALLEN JR. Everette G. Allen Jr., known to all as “Buddy Allen,” quietly left us on Monday, May 29, 2017 at his home.

A man with boundless charisma, a towering intellect and an unmatched zeal for life, Buddy impacted everyone he encountered during the journey of his life. He was predeceased by his parents, Everette G. Allen and Grace Allen; and is survived by his loving wife of 56 years, Ann Southall Allen; three children, Wendy Allen Schmitt, E.G. Allen III (Joanne Jones Allen) and James Southall Allen (Stacy Bosma Allen); sister, Peggy Layne (Aubrey Layne); eight grandchildren, Daniel Thomas Schmitt, Hallie Southall Schmitt, Anna Grace Schmitt, Mark Allen Schmitt, Everette Garrett Allen IV, Virginia Jane Allen, Jillian Jones Allen and

Delilah Marie Allen; brothers and sisters-in-law, Billy and Faye Bokkon, Bill and Sue Jenkins; and his beloved golden retriever, Brodie. Born on October 22, 1940, Buddy grew up in Highland Park in the 1950s, ingrained with a voracious work ethic from his parents. He honed his athletic and leadership skills first at Hotchkiss Field and later at John Marshall High School. He graduated from John Marshall in 1958, at the top of his class and went on to college at RandolphMacon. Buddy developed an unparalleled love for the small college in Ashland, Virginia.

He excelled in the classroom and in athletics. He was a quarterback on the football field, a shooting guard on the basketball court and a pitcher and shortstop on the baseball field. Buddy graduated Phi Beta Kappa in 1962.

In 1997, he was elected to the Randolph-Macon Athletic Hall of Fame. In 2012, Buddy was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws Degree from the college. If you have attended a Randolph-Macon basketball or football game in the last 40 years, surely you have seen him in the stands. In 1965, Buddy graduated from law school at the University of Virginia. Despite offers from New York firms, Buddy returned home to begin a successful legal career, spanning more than 50 years. Buddy developed an impeccable reputation as a Richmond lawyer, earning the respect and admiration of all he encountered, including clients, co-workers and even adversaries. Buddy received countless awards and recognitions, including election into the American College of Trial Lawyers.

importance of education and philanthropy in his life. His notable generosity extended to a variety of organizations and educational institutions, none more so than his beloved Randolph-Macon College.

Among other initiatives, Buddy and Ann created an Athletic Endowment, as well as an Academic Endowment, which funds scholarships for a select group of Richmond students, appropriately known as the “Allen Scholars.” In 2015, Buddy and Ann received a lifetime achievement award for philanthropy for their longstanding generosity to Randolph-Macon College.

Buddy leaves an extraordinary legacy: developing lifelong friends at Highland Park and Hotchkiss Field; growing with JM and Yellow Jacket teammates and classmates; mentoring young lawyers; sharing a life of love, enrichment and adventure with Ann and an ever growing and loving family; and devoting time and resources to his passions. If you encountered or spent any time with Buddy, no doubt you will never forget it. Buddy, Dad and Grandpa Bud, we will miss you and love you forever!

Character recognition assembly held at L-DHS MECHANICSVILLE -- Lee-Davis High School recently recognized 210 students for the March character trait “Confidence.”

Being recognized for confidence means that administrators and faculty trust and believe in the abilities and skills everyone possesses and recognize the need to exhibit these when called upon.

Students of the month were sophomore Devonte McEachern, junior Cole Keech, senior Timothy Webel and freshman Kristen Collier.

The school community emphasizes a cul-

ture of personal growth through character development in and out of the classroom.

The character recognition program was developed by and for students to honor those who model these traits daily.

2017 Randolph-Macon Commencement Ceremonies

By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND — Over 300 graduates marched across Randolph-Macon College’s “Red Brick Road” on Saturday, May 27, to accept their degrees. They were applauded by family and friends as they made their way underneath the shady, tree-covered Brock Commons.

The “Red Brick Road” is along the Janet Harvey Trivette (1978) Alumni Walkway.

The graduates will have their names imprinted on the bricks of the walkway, along with other graduates dating back to the early 1900s.

In his commencement address, Daniel H. Weiss, president and interim chief executive of The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, urged graduates to live their lives in the moment.

“It’s so important to recognize the gift that every day brings, because, after all, when you

win the race, when you get there — it’s over.

Celebrate what that has to offer you, and live in the moment.” Weiss told the students.

Earlier in his career, he served as the 16th president of Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania, and as the 14th president of Haverford College in Haverford, Pennsylvania.

Weiss also gave R-MC’s current president, Robert R. Lindgren, his inauguration speech in 2005.

“As president Lindgren said, 12 years ago I had the good fortune to come here and participate in his inauguration, and I had a chance to see what a wonderful liberal arts college looks like here in Virginia. I have watched with great interest and increasing admiration what all of you have accomplished under his leadership.”

Weiss was referring to the RM-C president’s introduction speech at the May 27 ceremony.

He encouraged the 2017 graduates to reflect on their good fortune and to always help those

in need, stressing to them that even the smallest of gestures can build up over time, leading to better habits.

“We celebrate with you a major milestone in your lives, and to the world around you. Yes, your graduation from college actually matters not only to your family and friends — but to the world around you,” he said.

He told them that not only are they among a group who are the most fortunate people of today, but that they were the most fortunate in all of history.

Acknowledging the problems that our world currently faces, Weiss said, “Such a claim may not seem obvious, but consider for a moment your prospects for good health and a long life, you have enormous opportunities for a rewarding and prosperous career and personal happiness.”

“And believe it or not, and it is hard to believe, the time we live in today is arguably the

safest in all of history — not easy to believe, but actually true.”

Weiss also received an Honorary Doctor of Humanities degree from R-MC. Three additional honorary degrees were presented during the 2017 R-MC commencement ceremony to John W. Kinney, George Y. Birdsong and John A. Luke Jr. John Kinney, who has made a local impact on Hanover County and Ashland, received an Honorary Doctor of Divinity degree. He is the senior vice president of the school of theology at Virginia Union University. In a career spanning 40 years, he has devoted himself to the pursuit of excellence in theological training and preparation.

Kinney has served on boards at the Patrick Henry YMCA and the Ashland Youth Association. For more than 40 years, he also served as the pastor of the Ebenezer Baptist see R-MC, pg. 18

R-MC always tells the success stories of certain graduating seniors whom are moving onto exciting new futures.

A few of these graduates who are sharing their senior success stories are: PJ Costello, David Gibson, Matthew Houle, Katelyn McCay, Amanda Metell, Robert Redenz and Abbey Warren.

Costello wants to go onto politics and law now that he is a graduate, and explained how he immediately declared political science as his major after taking his first class. He also took an introductory com-

puter class as a lower classman, and decided then that he wanted to declare a second major as well.

Gibson, who was a biology major and chemistry minor, come the fall will become a medical student at Virginia Commonwealth University’s (VCU) School of Medicine. He’s entering graduate school in conjunction with a Preferred Applicant Agreement between VCU and R-MC that qualifies students to enter the school of medicine who demonstrate a strong overall and science grade point average.

Also a biology major and chemistry minor, Houle received the Dr. Paul Wornom Pre-Medicine Fellowship, which is a full-tuition scholarship created for students who are prepared and driven in pursuing a career in the field of medicine. He has been accepted to medical school at George Washington University, and will begin this fall.

McCay was a biology major, and will begin the Doctor of Physical Therapy program at VCU this fall. She held an internship with Select Physical Therapy in

Mechanicsville while she was a student, and was a very active member of the R-MC community.

From Plymouth, Massachusetts, and doublemajoring in chemistry and history, Metell took a wellrounded approach to using the resources R-MC provides its students. She studied abroad, conducted research for the university, and competed on the equestrian team.

Another biology major and chemistry minor, Redenz will be attending the VCU School of Dentistry this fall.

Since freshman year of college, Redenz knew he wanted to have a career dentistry.

Warren, who majored in both Spanish and biology and also got a minor in chemistry, will be attending the University of Pennsylvania to begin her studies at the college’s dental school in the fall. Helping to prepare her, she volunteered at a free clinic and held an internship with a dentist.

More information about these seven graduates and their personal senior success stories can be found on the college’s news archive at www.rmc.edu/ news-and-calendar.

RICHMOND — Every week, a child is diagnosed with cancer in Central Virginia. In June 2015, Caroline Morris was one of them. Since then, she has been undergoing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, the most common form of childhood cancer, at Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU (CHoR).

Caroline now only requires monthly visits to CHoR and is scheduled to be finished with her active treatment in August.

Her blonde hair has grown back, after losing it as a side effect of chemotherapy, and her mom, Carla, is quick to express relief at the thought of getting “back to normal and not worrying so much.”

For Caroline, the end of her monthly visits will mean more time for library books, acting classes and “Caroline’s Kitchen,” her at-home cooking show.

Caroline set up her first Anthem LemonAid stand last summer, complete with homemade lemon cookies and a matching lemon outfit. Her plans for this summer’s stand are already underway in an effort to give back to CHoR, the hospital that has helped her so much.

Caroline’s excited to beat the $764 she raised at her stand last year and is already thinking about the special lemon baked good she’ll feature.

Sponsored by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Anthem LemonAid is Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals’ signature summer event and has been helping kids with cancer since 2001.

The event is in the second year of a $250,000 commitment to the Infusion Center in CHoR’s Hematology and Oncology Clinic, where children with cancer, like Caroline, receive the chemotherapy, blood transfusions, and immune system boosting infusions they need.

This summer, Richmond-area families, businesses and community organizations, can join together to make a big difference for local kids with cancer by setting up a lemonade stand the weekend of July 14-16. It’s free to participate and supplies are provided.

By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND — Families and craft beer lovers kicked off their summer Memorial Day weekend at the fifth annual Summer Moon Music Festival hosted by Center of the Universe (COTU) Brewing Company.

Festival-goers enjoyed a total of 23 music acts over two days, including 13 local bands, and food provided by different food trucks catering the event, as well as numerous varieties of COTU craft beer.

Festivities took place on Saturday, May 27, and Sunday, May 28. Each day was filled with folk and bluegrass music provided by two different groups of local bands who were battling it out all weekend to raise money for the charities they chose to represent.

“It was a great turnout —

Center of the Universe actually raised nine grand ($9,000) for charities at this year’s event,” said Ashley Ray, who is the third-party administrator for COTU. The event was prepared for the inclement weather the region experienced over Memorial Day weekend, with more than 4,500 square feet of covered tent space with tables, chairs and a stage, allowing for the music and fun to continue even with the torrential downpour the region experienced.

Performing on the event’s main stage were the 13 local bands. In addition, new to this year’s Summer Moon Festival was a stage set up for acoustic musicians and groups playing small acoustic acts between sets.

Bands playing on the main stage throughout the weekend, included: Little Tangents, Class 5, Something Shiny Band, Gift

50th Anniversary

Submitted photo

Jim and Gail Shelton celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary on June 3, 2017. Jim was in the U.S. Air Force and all leaves, including his were suddenly cancelled due to the Arab/ Israeli 6 Day War. The church was rented, the flowers were ordered, the cake was bought, the refreshments (mainly mints, cookies and nuts) were bought. Only the groom might not be able to attend the wedding. They talked about getting a proxy and then his sergeant, at the last minute, got him off so he did attend. His best man did not make it to the wedding. They had a 10- to 14-day honeymoon to the mountains and beach and did not check in with the base. Afterward, they did not live together for over a year as she was living with her parents in Portsmouth while attending Old Dominion College. He was still stationed in North Carolina.

This is how things were done in 1967.

SmartWire 360 joins program that provides energy efficiency and cost saving benefits Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE—SmartWire 360 is a full-service residential and commercial electrical company with over 30 years of experience serving the metro Richmond area. In early 2013, SmartWire 360 became a participating contractor for Dominion Virginia Power’s Non-Residential Lighting Systems & Controls Program.

The program provides business owners with the opportunity to reduce energy usage

and costs by installing energy efficient lighting, and in turn receive a rebate for the upgrade.

Owner and operator of SmartWire 360, Dennis Balducci, originally heard about the program through one of his lighting representatives. After learning more, Balducci wanted SmartWire 360 to become a participating contractor because he felt that the program would benefit his customers. Dennis Balducci shares, “It’s a smart business decision for our customers since they are becoming more energy efficient.”

After a company or business makes the ini-

tial call to SmartWire 360, one of our employees schedules a time to come onsite to conduct a lighting audit for the facility.

Balducci explains, “We provide our customers with a full detailed report on energy savings, cost savings, return on investment, and more.”

After the audit, a quote is drawn up and an energy savings comparison is provided to the customer. Once the retrofit is complete, SmartWire 360 will fill in and submit the rebate paperwork to Dominion on behalf of their customers.

Dennis Balducci believes the biggest benefit

of participating in Dominion’s Non-Residential Lighting Systems & Controls Program is that it helps to gain more business exposure, while also serving as a tool to expand on SmartWire 360’s available services. Balducci remarks, “It helps us be more valuable to the customer. That is the bottom line.”

By offering Dominion’s Non-Residential Lighting Systems & Controls Program, SmartWire 360 strives to provide better quality lighting to more businesses, while helping them save money.

Lee-Davis boys finish a step short at states

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor NEWPORT NEWS – LeeDavis’ boys track and field team finished a step short in its bid to win a Virginia High School League Group state outdoor championship at Todd Stadium this weekend.

Going into the final two events – the 200-meter dash and the 1,600 relay – the Confederates held an 8.5point lead over second-place Potomac Senior High School.

After the 200, the Panthers had closed to within half a point of the Confederates. All Lee-Davis needed to do was finish in front of Potomac in the final event to win.

But the Confederates seemed snake-bit. Sam Franklin gave the Lee-Davis 1,600 relay team an explosive start in his initial attempt – but the starter fired twice more to halt the race, as a runner used blocks without a holder, slipping as he shoved off and forcing an unfair start. By the time the stop shots were fired, Franklin and a few others were well down the first straightaway.

The second time the event, began, Franklin had a strong start, but as he had spent so much of himself on the first attempt, it was not as explosive. He came into the exchange zone in third. Christian Gilliam and Cameron Good did what

happened. Then, when it came down to the 4-by-4, our bread and butter, they beat us. Hat’s off to them.”

Atlee’s boys finished fourth.

In the girls’ meet, Atlee and Lee-Davis finished in a tie for 23rd place. Patrick Henry had athletes competing, but none scored.

The meet was Atlee’s last state championship with Jim Triemplar at the helm.

“That part’s disappointing – just because it’s a wonderful group of kids, some of them I didn’t get to know very well before I’m having to hit the road,” Triemplar said as the meet wound down. “Some of them I did get to know and I’m sorry I have to leave them behind. I’ll always care about how they do.”

Lee-Davis thrower Connor Scott won the shot put (5 711.5) and was runner-up in discus (162-11). Alex Slinkman won the pole vault (16-0) and Dave Lawrence/The Local Nicholas Corbin won the 110 Lee-Davis anchor Jeremiah Hankerson (743) comes in with a crowd at the finish of the boys 1,600-meter relay in the Virginia High hurdles (14.27).

Hawks go extra distance to clinch state bid

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Sports writing is riddled with clichés, one of the most hallowed is the sports pantheon being, “Neither team deserved to lose.”

The problem with clichés is, they often reflect a truth at their core.

The truth, after the Region 4A East baseball semifinal between Jamestown at Hanover Wednesday night, is that neither team deserved to lose. But one had to.

It took 13 innings of great pitching, breathtaking defense and at-times lucky offense before the Hawks, with backto-back doubles by Brian Sisson and Will Lopez off Jamestown reliever Andrew Barrow to get the run it needed to beat the visiting Eagles 2-1 and earn a chance to play for their fourth state championship in five years in the VHSL Group 4A state tournament in Salem next week.

The game won’t be easily forgotten.

“I don’t know if you’re going to see a much better high school baseball game than that,” said Jamestown head coach John Cole. “I coached college for 30 years and that’s probably one of the top three baseball games I’ve been involved in. That was a street fight, boy. I tell you what, I didn’t know if it was going to end.”

The game was full of memorable performances. Jamestown reliever Ryan Devine pitched nine innings, yielding just one run. Hanover reliever Antonio Balducci pitched eight innings – three innings more than Hawks’ starter Jack Dragum.

“I just [had] to battle through it and give my team the best opportunity,” Balducci said.

30

Dave Lawrence/The Local

Hanover left fielder Brian Sisson prances in to home plate to score a tying run in the fifth inning in the Hawks’ 2-1 victory over visiting Jamestown Wednesday. Sisson scored the winning run in the 13th inning.

“Every inning it was all about getting that first out. Getting that first batter and trying not to let anybody on base before I got that first out. If I got that first out, I started to get comfortable and I started to settle down and mixed my pitches to keep them off-balance.”

The four pitchers tallied 28 total strikeouts: eight each for Devine, Darrow and Balducci.

The Hanover pitching staff yielded just one extra-base hit: a double to Jamestown catcher Kevin Mooney. The Jamestown staff yielded just two – the season ending doubles to Sisson and Lopez.

“Both their pitchers were real good,” Sisson said. “We’ve seen some really good pitchers up there, but they were up

there. They were competitors more than anything.”

Both defenses, particularly in the middle of the infield, robbed their opponents of hits – snagging line drives or running down grounders in the gaps and making throws to force out baserunners – or at least slapped balls down to hold potential extra-base hits to just singles.

The top of both teams batting orders were relatively quiet.

The first four Eagles managed just one hit. Their No. 5 hitter, Mooney, finished with two, and the sixth through ninth batter got the team’s remaining three hits.

The first five batters in Hanover’s order managed just one hit. The bottom four fin-

ished with six – two each for Sisson and Nick Zona. Sisson batted sixth. Zona batted eighth.

And Lopez, who had the gamewinning RBI, batted seventh.

Sisson scored both of Hanover’s runs. The first, in the fifth inning, tied the game 1-1. He was on second with two outs, when right fielder Jack Chenault, hitting in the nine-spot, hit what looked like a groundout to short. But Jamestown shortstop Matt Lansford, who had to charge to get to the ball, come up throwing fast and past Eagles first baseman Mike Schmidt. Sisson saw the ball sail by the first baseman as he rounded third, first sprinting, then prancing, down the third-base line as he closed in on home plate.

“That’s just when emotions take over,” Sisson said. “Once I see the ball get past [the first baseman] then I know I’m going to score.”

Sisson came up to the plate with two outs in the 13th inning.

He had already gone up against Barrow in the 11th inning and struck out. He was ready for the Jamestown reliever the second time around, hitting a double to left field.

The game – and the fate of Hanover’s season – depended on what Lopez would do next.

In five previous plate appearances, Lopez had struck out twice, grounded out twice, and sacrificed himself once. It was not an auspicious beginning for the situation that faced him in the 13th inning, especially as he

quickly got himself into a hole with two strikes looking.

“It was a struggle. I had a problem hitting the fast ball away,” Lopez said. “I knew I had to stick to my approach. I knew in the back of my head that all [our] practices will eventually pay off.”

He swung the bat on the third pitch, driving it into the gap in left-center field to bring Sisson home.

“It felt great. It felt like I didn’t hit anything,” Lopez said.

“I knew it was a good shot off the bat.”

Sisson crossed home before he reached second. After he scored, he and the rest of the team ran toward second to mob Lopez. It was a big moment for a team that has spent a lot of time in postseason play the past few years.

“I’m a senior battling for my last games,” Sisson said. “I just want to guarantee myself some more playing time.”

By Eric Kolenich Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – When the seventh inning came to a close, the score was tied — again. For the second time in three days, the Hanover baseball team was headed to extra innings.

But on Friday in the 4A East Region final, Hanover made much quicker work.

Jack Chenault scored on an error, and Josh Plummer had a game-winning RBI, scoring Brian Sisson in the bottom of the eighth. Hanover beat Great Bridge (Chesapeake) 5-4 and won the 4A East Region title.

It’s Hanover’s third region title in four seasons.

On Wednesday, Hanover (22-2) survived a 2-1, 13-inning slog against Jamestown. Despite all the innings played the past three days, the Hanover players weren’t overly tired Friday, according to coach Charlie Dragum.

“It hurt us on the mound more than anything,” he said.

The Hawks’ key relief pitcher, Antonio Balducci, had gone eight innings of relief Wednesday and was unavailable Friday. Hanover turned to Will Lopez in hopes of closing out the game. When Lopez let two runners on base in the top of the seventh, Dragum turned to hard-throwing righty Cam

But Grimes walked the first batter he faced, loading the bases, then walked another.

With runners on second and third and one out, Grimes was issued an intentional walk, bringing Plummer to the plate.

His job was easy, Plummer figured. All he had to do was put the ball in play.

C-feds knock off Nansemond River for title

By Brad Bess Richmond Times-Dispatch GLEN ALLEN – Row, row, row your boat.

The first five syllables of the nursery rhyme is how LeeDavis’ Hayli Wagner gets her timing down in the batter’s box.

It helps her keep her hands back. “On ‘boat,’ if it’s there, I’m swinging,” she said.

The bases-loaded 2-1 pitch in the bottom of the second was there on “boat.”

Wagner drove in two runs and scored from second on a bunt to account for three of Lee-Davis’ four second-inning runs in the Confederates’ 4-2 win over Nansemond River in the 5A South championship Friday at Deep Run. They’ll face Stone Bridge (7-0 losers to Atlee in the 5A North title game) next Friday in the first round of the Group 5A state tournament.

For the second year in a row, they’ll go the state tournament as the 5A South Region champions.

“Very proud of how much they’ve grown,” Lee-Davis coach Jackie Davis said. “We’ve still got some things to work on, and get some things straight, but they want it.

“They’re determined, so we’ve at least given ourselves a chance to go up there and do something.”

Ella Alvis drew a walk to lead off the bottom of the second. E.B. Hudson singled with one out, and pitcher Kayley Scott drew a walk to load the bases with one down. McKenna Mehlbrech came in to run for Scott, and Wagner pulled a shot deep down the left-field line to give Lee-Davis the 2-0 lead.

With Mehlbrech at third and Wagner at second, Heather Childress laid a bunt down the

They returned to Suffolk with a with a berth in the Virginia High School League Group 4A girls soccer tournament after earning a 3-2 victory over the Hawks.

The King’s Fork players came out aggressive from the beginning, forcing Hanover goalkeeper Mackenzie Hoang to make multiple dramatic saves early.

first base line. The Warriors took the out at first, allowing Mehlbrech to cross the plate, and then, of her own fruition, Wagner scored as well.

“Heather (Childress) got it down the first base line,” Wagner said. “I was like ‘OK, McKenna (Mehlbrech) is going, I’m going,’ and then I saw the

first baseman was not paying attention, she was like looking down at the ground or whatever, and I was like, ‘I’m being aggressive. I’m going.’

“Coach always tells me to be aggressive on the bases, and I was like, ‘this is my time.’”

“That was all her,” Davis said, when asked if she gave

Wagner the go ahead. “It was a great read.”

The Warriors got the on the scoreboard with a two-out RBI single from Toni Jones in the sixth to make it 4-1.

In the next at-bat, Katelyn Biando drove a ball deep to the outfield. Jones came home about the same time as the

throw and collided head-first into Lee-Davis catcher Logan Hawker’s ribs at the plate.

Following a minute of recovery for both players and an umpire discussion, the run was counted because of catcher’s interference, and the score became 4-2. A fly out in the next at-bat ended the inning.

Davis said Hawker was fine after the game.

“Kid’s a beast back there.

She’s going to be OK,” Davis said.

Lee-Davis threatened in the bottom of the sixth but was held scoreless. Scott, with a smile, see C-FEDS, pg. 33

Raiders clinch state berth with win over Wolverines

By Brad Bess Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – The five seniors on the Atlee softball team walked off their home field for the last time on Wednesday.

Bittersweet for senior Casey Barrett. Bitter because she’ll never again stand in the batter’s box or take her position in the field of her high school.

But still sweet, because the dream for three state championships is still alive.

Peyton St. George struck out 12 and allowed just one hit, Barrett bunted in the game’s first run and scored the second, and the Raiders downed North Stafford 3-0 on Wednesday in the 5A North region semifinals.

Atlee went on to defeate Stone Bridge 7-0 Friday, but the win over the Wolverines on Wednesday gave the two-time defending champions a ticket back to the Group 5A state tournament.

“They have a goal. They had a plan in mind. Their plan was to get back to states. Their plan was to not flinch along the way,” said Atlee coach Tom McIntyre.

“The key is they have their plan and they’re going after it.”

St. George struck out the side in the top half of the first and the Raiders grabbed a 2-0 lead in the bottom half of the inning.

Leadoff hitter Kelly Warren, a senior, slapped a triple to left

then got a strikeout, a fly out and a ground out to end the game.

“I smile my way through the game, through every game, staying calm. I smile to stay

field from the leadoff spot.

Barrett then stepped to the plate with one out.

She fouled the first pitch off her knee. After taking a second to recuperate, she laid a bunt down the first base line to score Warren. Barrett reached safely on an error.

With the next batter, St. George, at the plate, Barrett took off for second. The Wolverines attempted to catch her, but the ball hit Barrett in the knee and ricocheted deep into the outfield. “(Ball) just came in and made solid contact with my knee, and then it just kept going and I like kind of sat there for a second,” said Barrett, “but then I heard everyone go ‘Run!’” She got up, rounded third, headed home and gave Atlee a 2-0 lead.

McIntyre didn’t see the ball hit Barrett’s knee on the slide.

His initial thoughts went back to a game earlier in the year, when Barrett hurt her knee sliding.

“I thought it was the slide that got her,” he said. “I missed the ball coming off her knee.

All I knew was the sucker was running to the fence and I was like, ‘Barrett, you’ve got to get going.’”

“Barrett does it the right way, which is once she gets going, she goes hard and she scores,” McIntyre said. “Every run we know is valuable, so we want to get every one we can get.”

Jordan Durbin led off the

calm, and I trust my defense as always, and the next pitch is what matters,” the Conference 11 pitcher of the year said.

Her next pitch will be in the state tournament.

“I’m ready. We’re pumped,” Scott said. “I think this team has it. We just have two more games, and we’re there. We all

North Stafford’s only hit was a double with one out in the second, but a groundout followed and strikeout ended the inning. It was the only time the Wolverines sent more than three batters to the plate in an inning.

Atlee girls, boys punch return tickets to state tourneys

By Wayne Epps Richmond Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – Atlee and Albemarle were neck and neck throughout Tuesday’s 5A South region girls lacrosse semifinal. The visiting Patriots would score and the Raiders would respond to tie it, or vice versa.

The game featured nine ties, and neither team had a lead of more than two. But with the game knotted at 10 and entering its final stages, the Raiders got the goal that put them up for good. Sophomore Jessica Peffer scored with 3:48 to play, and Atlee held on to claim an 11-10 victory. “(Peffer is) someone that’s typically a feeder for us,” said Atlee coach Christina Dobson.

“And so to see her have that confidence and cut to get that opening in the middle and just put the ball in the back of the net, as a sophomore, it was awesome.”

Dobson said she thought Albemarle (13-5) was one of the most closely matched teams the Raiders had played, and it showed.

The first half was low scoring. The first goal didn’t come until almost seven minutes in, when sophomore Reaghan

Hanover head coach John Andruss. “They played very well on both ends of the field.

They did a lot of things right tonight.”

King’s Fork tri-captain Cydney Nichols got the scoring started for the Bulldogs, taking a feed from Stazia Davis and sending the ball to the back of the net with just over 32 minutes to play in the first half.

Atlee’s Ben Ford (31) works around Albemarle’s defense in a Region 5A South semifinal Tuesday.

Kolb scored for Atlee (15-2).

Albemarle scored the next two to go up by one with 6:21 left in the first half.

But Atlee, led by junior Faith Anna, stormed back with two scores to take a one-goal lead.

Anna tied it with 2:54 to play in the half on a fast break after an Albemarle turnover. Then, after the draw, Anna scored on another fast break just nine seconds later as the Raiders went up 3-2.

Albemarle junior Jennifer Wendelken responded with 1:15 left before the break, and

the teams went into the half knotted at 3.

“I think both defenses were playing good defense,” said Albemarle coach Lauren Thraves. “I think it’s unusual for both of our teams to have that low of a scoring half.”

Wendelken scored again for Albemarle less than one minute into the second half as the Patriots took a 4-3 lead. But Atlee senior Kylie Eastman tied it at 4 just 25 seconds later. That trend continued throughout the second half as the teams traded goals.

With the game tied at 8 with 11:01 to play after a goal by Atlee junior Kellyn McGlamery, Albemarle scored two unanswered. Murray’s goal with 7:28

That goal set the tone for the Bulldogs’ attack, which was relentless for much of the game.

Defensively, the Bulldogs effectively shut down the Hanover attack for much of the first half.

When the Hawks did get shots off, Bulldogs goalkeeper Jordan Fransee was exceptional, recording 21 saves on the night.

“When they scored first, we panicked a little bit,” Andruss said. “But then I think we regained our composure and came back.”

Hanover mounted a chal-

lenge late in the first half. The Hawks tied the score with 10:52 left in the half when Fransee came out of her goal to challenge Hanover’s Lauren Didlake.

Didlake dodged around Fransee and guided the ball into the goal. The teams would break at halftime with the score tied 1-1.

The second half featured what appeared to be a different Hanover team. The Hawks were flying around the field, keeping their opponents on their heels when they weren’t chasing after Hawk attackers. At the

rest of the game on the way to a 16-4 victory in its 5A South region semifinal.

The Patriots (12-6) had a 2-1 advantage over the Raiders (15-1) after that first frame. But Atlee surged ahead in the second quarter and never looked back. The Raiders led 8-3 at halftime and allowed just one more goal the rest of the way.

Senior Dylan Rice had four goals and an assist for Atlee.

Sophomore Drew Miller had three goals and two assists.

Senior Preston Tribble, senior Will Stockhausen and sophomore Andrew Cook each had two goals and an assist.

It was the largest lead either team had.

“We felt the momentum shift, and we were up by two,” said Thraves. “We just, every time we’d get up we couldn’t close the door.”

McGlamery scored with 6:46 to play to make it a onegoal game again. Then, with 4:23 left, Anna scored her gamehigh fifth goal to tie it at 10.

take any opponent lightly.

“You can’t slack off on these teams because they can creep up on you,” she said. “So the intensity just has to be up every inning.”

As Barrett and St. George prepared to walk off their home field for the last time, St. George recalled the two being “scared” as the only two freshmen on the varsity team four years ago.

“This one was bittersweet,” Barrett said. “It’s our last time on this field. I spent four years on this field, Peyton has too,

31:45 mark, Didlake executed a picture-perfect corner kick, and Rachel Andrzejewski headed it past Fransee. The goal put Hanover in the lead at 2-1, and it seemed like the Hawks were bound for victory.

The Bulldogs had a golden chance to tie the game when Nichols, facing an open Hanover net, banked her shot off the left goal post. She would make up for that miscue, however, at the 24:20 mark. A perfect pass to a streaking Rebecca Washburn gave Washburn a chance to

shoot from twenty yards out.

Her arcing shot just cleared the inside of the top goal post, and slid down the back of the inside of the net to equalize the score at 2-2.

A penalty in the Hanover box at 19:08 sent Nichols to the line for a penalty shot and give King’s Fork a chance to go ahead. Hanover keeper Mackenzie Hoang guessed Nichols would shoot left, but Nichols shot right. The ball sailed into the unprotected side of the net.

Despite the loss, coach Andruss praised his players, and remained optimistic about their future.

“Overall, I think the girls did a really good job tonight,” Andruss said. “We’ve got a lot of young players on this team who have really played well the entire season. With them coming back, the possibilities for next season are just as good as this year or even better.”

CANCER • Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, a casual comment by a friend sets off a powder keg of ideas in your mind. This is the inspiration you have been waiting for, and now you can’t wait to get busy.

LIBRA • Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, you don’t need any extra encouragement to go after what you want. You are quite motivated at the moment, putting a lot of possibilities within reach.

CAPRICORN • Dec 22/Jan 20 Capricorn, while it is important to take care of others, you shouldn’t do so at the expense of your own health and happiness. Give yourself a break this week.

TAURUS • Apr 21/May 21 Other people around you seem to be the epitome of positivity, but you just may not be able to muster the same level of giddiness, Taurus.

That’s okay, as this is just a phase.

LEO • Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, others can’t read your mind, so if something is bugging you, then let them know. Doing so will help you collectively develop a solution that much faster.

SCORPIO • Oct 24/Nov 22 If you want a particular relationship to thrive, then you have to work together with a partner, Scorpio. No one is out for herself or himself in this situation.

AQUARIUS • Jan 21/Feb 18 Don’t be afraid to take the next big step in your love life, Aquarius. Your partner may be feeling the same way. Communication is key in this situation.

GEMINI • May 22/Jun 21 Things that have been on your mind come right out without a thought, Gemini. Your honesty is commendable, but you may need to self-censor some things.

VIRGO • Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, keep your mind open to all the possibilities this week. You may be surprised at what you can accomplish if you maintain a willingness to try new things.

SAGITTARIUS • Nov 23/Dec 21 Your social life is about to heat up, Sagittarius. You might find your calendar going from empty to chock full in just a few days. Pace yourself to avoid burnout.

PISCES • Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, your emotions may have been all over the place the last few days, but you will be able to reel them in soon. Enjoy the respite.

ARIES • Mar 21/Apr 20 Aries, when your mischievous side comes out to play, others better watch out. You certainly can be a force É a very fun force. Just don’t let things get out of control.
