RELEVANCE. EQUITY. INNOVATION.

Continuing path of success is goal By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

Nick Liberante for The Local

Scout Master Brad Bateman, back left, and members of his Troop 544 from Mechanicsville don eye protection to look at the start of the eclipse. Troop 544 and about 300 others were on the campus of Randolph-Macon College to watch the eclipse on Monday, Aug. 21. Scouts who participated received an eclipse patch.

ASHLAND – The successes that Hanover County Public Schools enjoyed last year stemmed from what Dr. Michael Gill, superintendent, plans to repeat when students return for the 2017-2018 term on Tuesday. “This time last year we began with two major themes that were going to guide the school division,” Gill said. Those themes were relevance and equity.

“As the school year progressed, a natural theme started to emerge and that was the theme of innovation. So those three ideas became what all of our work in the school division centered around.” In the fall of 2016, the school district adopted its new six-year long-range plan, which Gill said is a “document that we are extremely proud of.” The school system, he said, has “objectives, specific strategies, and a handful of goals that we want to accomplish during the course of the six-

year plan.” He said it is very detailed, but it “also can really be described as advancing the ideas of relevance, equity and innovation.” He then fast forwards to the upcoming school year. “I’ve been asked by several people ‘What’s going to be the next big thing?’ My response is relevance, equity and innovation, see SUCCESS, pg. 23

The Local Pick:

Local resident bowls his way into national title By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local

BUS ROUTES

ECHANICSVILLE — Keith Green recently bowled his way into a second-time victory after taking the national title of the American Wheelchair Bowling Association’s 56th national championship in the spring. Formed in June 1962, the American Wheelchair Bowling Association (AWBA), according to its website is a “national organization that is dedicated to growing the sport of bowling from a wheelchair,” which is when the first national wheelchair bowling tournament took place at a site in Louisville, Kentucky. AWBA has grown to over 500 members throughout mainland America, with an average of 10 annual tournaments organized across the country. Green took home his second AWBA national victory in just three years at the national championship in June. He said the victory felt “wonderful, [I’m] shocked – I still can’t believe I did it!” With a final score of 217 to his opponent’s score of 206, Green won the national championship for a second time in the “B division.” There were 19 bowlers in the B Division, out of 48 total bowlers from all over the nation; with 21 bowlers in the A Division and eight scratch bowlers.

Mechanicsville resident Keith Green captured the national title of the American Wheelchair Bowling Association during the 56th national championship.

Green’s best score is 255, which he bowled during the singles games of the 2016 national championship. They bowl 15 matches of singles games before the “roll-offs,” which are essentially the finals of the national championship, where he won with his score of 217. Green originally won first place at the 53rd AWBA national championship in 2014, and, since then, he has maintained his training in preparation for his spring victory earlier this year. “I have learned from Al Uttecht how to set equip-

ment and relax when I am bowling. He has taught me how to read the lanes and oil conditions, and how different equipment reacts on different lane conditions,” Green said, referring to his bowling mentor, who is a 13-time national scratch champion. Green still bowls on two leagues every week at AMF Hanover Lanes in Mechanicsville. He said his “doubles partner, Phillip Daniel … inspires me to perform to the best of my abilities, he is like a brother to me.” He said Daniel was a see BOWLS, pg. 5

division national champion in 2016, and has been in a wheelchair for more than 40 years. Green said he believes his desire to spread the word about AWBA to folks in wheelchairs that may have not heard much, if anything, about the association, is very important. “AWBA is a great way to meet other people; it teaches you that you have abilities that you didn’t know you had,” Green said. “I hope this can help get the word out about AWBA, and how it can help people in wheelchairs find the rehabilitation and camaraderie they need – no matter where you are. They’re helping people; it’s great motivation – you get to be outgoing, social and [you get to] relax; you don’t real-

ize you’re doing fitness at the same time.” Green said his favorite part about being involved with AWBA is how it allows him to travel to different parts of the country and the opportunities to meet new people.

“It helps you to fellowship with other people that understand life in a wheelchair,” Green said. He added, “AWBA has become our extended family – they are our bowling family.” When asked if he’s looking for another shot at the title, Green said, “Of course, I look at it as another goal to try and reach every year.” He said they have another tournament coming up Friday through Sunday, Sept. 22-24, at Bowl America in Short Pump. “We’d love for the word to get out so that others can benefit from the AWBA — like I have.” Those who are interested in learning more information about the American Wheelchair Bowling Association can go to www. awba.org.

It’s time to think about returning to school

Councilman gets blame for recent rioting

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor Yes, before we know it, Sept. 5 will be upon us and the kids will be out at the bus stops, buses will be rolling to their various destinations, and schools will be abuzz on the official first day of the 2017-2018 year in Hanover County Public Schools. There’s a unique excitement about the first day of school. Even after all these years, I remember that feeling. As I’ve said before, I wasn’t the student I should have been or could have been. But, getting back into the routine of classes and seeing friends Monday through Friday became the norm as I got older. The technology that has become common for

the millennials was like something out of a science fiction movie when I was a teen. I think the only time I was nervous about the first day of school was when I was entering the seventh grade and changing from a school near my home to one in the downtown area. I don’t remember the number of feeder schools into that old building. Without a doubt, my official first day of school was memorable as I bit the teacher. I did not want to stay and my sister, who was in the sixth grade, had to spend the day with me. That should have been a sign that my academic life wasn’t going to be as fulfilling as my sister’s journey. Back to school shopping was a ritual in our family, with a trip to Huntington. We went to a popular department store for all our clothing

needs. It seems like yesterday with Mom taking my sister and me through the clothes, shoes and accessories departments. Dad spent his time in the tools section. With the new term fast approaching, I wish all the students throughout the county division, as well as those in church schools and home schools, to think positively about what’s ahead. I’ve been out of public school for 43 years and I continue to learn. That dispels the old saying, “You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.” Take advantage of the studies ahead of you. Pursue your dreams and the future you desire. The groundwork is being laid, now it’s up to you to get back into class work and whatever extracurricular activities you choose. Reach for your star . . .

How to handle the dark side of the moon with kids By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist Days before the big event, my exwife asked me if I’d spoken to our children regarding the eclipse. “What do you want me to say?” I replied. She explained that the kids should be aware of the dangers associated with this unusual act of nature, and wanted to make sure they didn’t go outside and stare into the sun. Her concern was probably legiti-

mate, but, I swear, I’ve heard more about the eclipse than I ever needed to, and I couldn’t get that excited about a couple of minutes of near darkness in the middle of the day. Before you accuse me of generational negativity, understand that some of us have experienced these things before, and it’s not nature’s first rodeo when it comes to amazing spectacles. I remember my grandmother telling me stories about Haley’s Comet

and the national feeling of imminent doom that accompanied its arrival in 1910. Some scientists feared the gases from the comet’s tail would poison the earth. Those less scrupulous sold anticomet pills to a terrified public. Those historical tidbits seem remote lest you consider the millions of eclipse glasses that have been sold in recent weeks and the frenzy of potential watchers who failed to act quickly and will have to devise new methods to see the phenomenon.

Now, I hear a lot of folks saying they’ve seen a total eclipse before, but most of them are mistaking their recollections with partial screenings that were visible from various locations over the years. It’s been 26 years since the U.S. has experienced a full total solar eclipse. The one I’m recalling occurred in 1970 when most of the East Coast was able to view an almost total eclipse. Incidentally, the one I’m referencing is see MOON, pg. 8

Do you know what grinds my gears? The politically correct Left jumping on the events in Charlottesville. Just like Dillon Roop in 2015, a kooky, lone idiot, has sparked a firestorm to take down Confederate monuments, and anything Confederate for that matter, across the nation. The monuments are now seen as a “magnet for hate”. Don’t be ignorant. The hate-monger who started all of this is Wes Belamy, the Charlottesville City Council member who called for the removal of the Lee and Jackson statues in Charlottesville. He created a problem where no problem existed. This is a man who, allegedly, put out a message via social media that he didn’t even like snow because it was white. His call to remove these statues to great men has caused this firestorm we are now faced with because it has motivated the extremist on both sides of what has now become a race war. An NBC poll shows that over 60% of Americans want the monuments to stay, while only 27% want them taken down. So, what you have is approximately 1% of the general population (the extreme Right and Left) motivated by hate on both sides, causing politicians to buckle rather than show true leadership. Make no mistake, after the Left is done with Confederate monuments, monuments to the Founding Fathers will be next! Remember, the Confederates were fighting for the same cause the Founders were fighting for: overthrowing an over-bearing and oppressive form of government. Educate yourselves; don’t let a socialist want to be government tell you what to think! Andrew Bennett Morehead. Old Church see LETTERS, pg. 8

LETTERS Continued from pg. 6

Gen. Lee’s advice: reunite the country Many look at Gen.l Robert E. Lee as a traitor. Many look at him as a true Southern gentleman. Many look at him as one of the most outstanding military strategist that ever lived. Matter of fact, many of Gen. Lee’s battle plans are still studied in most of our military institutions. What most people do not know is that Gen. Lee recommended to refrain from anything that would belabor the reuniting of the states after the Civil War. Gen. Lee strongly recommended that battlefield of the war not be preserved. He also strongly recommended that no

statues be erected recognizing Confederate leaders. He recommended that every citizen work to reunite the nation and overcome the hated and division that resulted in the deaths of hundreds of thousands. I hope everyone will follow Gen. Lee’s leadership and seek to obliterate all forms of hatred, to recognize the value of each individual, and advance the creed in our Declaration of Independence “that all men are created equal”. Yes, Gen. Lee is one to be admired because he lived by principals that we should all adhere to. Dan Johnson Montpelier

Weighing in on debates over monuments As a native of Richmond,

who has been blessed to reside all but two of his 74 years in the Commonwealth of Virginia, I am compelled to weigh in on the growing, inflammatory debate over Civil War monuments. Yes, I vividly recall those times from my youth when segregation and racial bias was prevalent in my beloved Richmond. Even my grandparents, all of whom immigrated to America from Italy and Sicily in the early 20th century, weren’t immune to maltreatment in those days. This did not prevent my parents from teaching me to treat others kindly. Although I wasn’t always perfect in this pursuit, as a youngster I didn’t accept the idea of non-white people sitting in the back of buses, being denied access to restrooms, and the other demeaning abuse of my fellow man that went with racism. I am certainly not blind to skin pigment, but I have never seen anyone’s skin taint their character. Only imprudent,

unreasonable perception can do that. In the time I have lived in the former Capital of the Confederacy, I have been socially acquainted with thousands of Caucasians and many, many people of other ancestries, including Negro, some of whom have become my friends. Among all those people, I have never met a black militant and I have only known one white supremacist, a now deceased KKK member whose ideology I challenged on more than one occasion. Of course, others of a similar mindset do exist in society. Fanatical people that champion racism are statistical byproducts of the billions of humans that inhabit our planet. That said, if hate groups are prevalent in Virginia, they are doing an exceptional job of remaining undercover. Nevertheless, perception remains its own form of reality. There are those among us that enjoy keeping the embers of discord glowing. They’d like us

to believe that hate groups are widespread. It gives these people a platform, one the media seems disposed to embrace and promote. After all, evil and discord sells much better than love and peace. Just look at the headlines. As for Civil War statues, I have passed the ones on Monument Avenue thousands of times. I never perceived them to be symbols of hatred. To me, they were symbols of men willing to sacrifice everything for their convictions, beliefs I did not hold. Slavery, which is fundamentally evil, wasn’t the only issue in that era. States’ rights, which is unconstitutional but not inherently evil, was another. I now see these monuments as testament to the greatness of America. In the course of history, human bondage has been part of the world. Yet, to my knowledge, America is the only country that had the will to purge it. And we did so at

great cost. Hundreds of thousands died and countless others were maimed in the process. But in the end, slavery in America was abolished. Those monuments that have now become so controversial are emblematic of that epic struggle, the will of Americans to fight to the death over ideologies of human freedom and an undivided nation. Certainly, money was the root, which is true of all revolutions and wars. Nevertheless, the evil of slavery was vanquished, a fact that should elicit pride in Americans, not shame. However, we now have people that wish us to remove those valuable reminders of our past, the time when Americans slaughtered each other over slavery and states’ rights. Instead of seizing the positives from that amazing era in our history, they want to bury it. Some want to destroy the symbols. Others want to move

MOON

quite frankly, I walked away disappointed after standing in a slightly clouded front yard waiting for the miracle. Flash back to present and the eclipse again captured a nation’s attention. For a little

over two minutes at the height of the event, the moon eclipsed the sun. Now, I realize we encountered an industrial strength amount of hype for 150 seconds of amazement, but scientists promised it was an experience we wouldn’t forget and anytime you had a chance to witness something rare and unusual, it was probably a good idea to take a peak. As for viewing precautions, every publication in the Western Hemisphere published guidelines for safely witnessing the spectacle, but, simply put, it came down to “Don’t stare at the sun.” My faded memories of that 1970 event involve an attempt to construct something called a shadow box, where the image of the transformation can be clearly seen through a

reflection. Not sure what I did wrong, but it never worked for me. Even with the hype, it somehow reassured me to witness the power of nature to inspire, attract and amaze, and it’s still good to know the old mother can still pack the house when it comes to special events. Now, that conversation with my kids and the eclipse went something like this: “Dad, is it going to get dark in the middle of the day?” my daughter asked. After I nodded yes, the obvious question followed. “What should we do?” Another unanswerable question to add to the volume of things I couldn’t respond to in a lifetime of unsolved mysteries, I thought to myself. But, my wit was quick and my response’s aim was true. “Get a flashlight.”

them from their rightful place â&#x20AC;Ś hide them. While they bully us to accept their notions, they overlook the potential benefit of these monuments: a reminder of the greatness of America that can be used as a teaching tool. Certainly, Lee, Jackson, Stuart and the rest of the Confederates like the 257 cadets from VMI that were engaged in the Battle of New Market fought on the wrong side, and many died. But why should we demolish their memorials? And if we do, should we likewise remove monuments of union soldiers in Washington, D.C., Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and other places? Should we have bonfires with books on the subject, erase knowledge like the Nazis did? Absolutely not. History serves the future. It should never be eradicated or altered in any way. And if America wishes to remain the great, free nation under God that the Founding Fathers envisioned, its success will be dependent on people that love it and its rich history, not hate groups, rabble rousers, and activists devoted to reshaping everything they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like or understand, while accomplishing nothing of value. They are impediments to success. In fact, most people so inclined seem to have elitist, egocentric mentalities. They donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t appreciate America for what it is, the greatest nation in the history of the world. They have not had the opportunity to witness humans struggling to obtain a bowl of rice or to have a sanitary, safe habitat, which I have seen. For this reason, they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t truly comprehend what they have or why Americans are the envy of the world. Hence, we have enemies. As a result, we are now facing serious external problems, and

more are likely on the horizon. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need any selfinflicted wounds. We need leaders that understand the consequences of their words and deeds, people that encourage unity and logic as opposed to provoking discord and irrationality. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need lightning rod situations that draw extremists, like the one in Charlottesville that resulted in violence. And to our local politicians, the public needs law and order, well-maintained roads and highways, elite, safe public schools, zero illegal drugs, modern infrastructure, balanced budgets and so forth. The less pontificating on issues that have the potential to divide us the better. It took most of the 150-plus years after the Civil War to form a scar. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to reopen the wound â&#x20AC;Ś or to make fresh ones. I want my offspring, as I am certain most do, to experience the benefits of a united, free America, not the problems of a divided society. God bless Virginia and the United States of America, Daniel Corso Mechanicsville

Agreeing with opinion on bike trails This letter is in response to Larnie Allgoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s questioning of spending taxpayer money for the construction of bike trails. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m in 100% agreement with Mr. Allgood. My wife and I both enjoy riding bikes around our neighborhood. Would we enjoy riding on a bike trail? Yes. My wife likes horseback riding. How about some equestrian trails? I like riding motorcycles. How about some off highway trails for motocross and ATV riding? My wife and I both enjoy target shooting. How about a county range?

There are around 100,000 people in Hanover County. Of this number, what percentage are bike riders? Of the 100,000, how many operate a motor vehicle? Drive around the county and look at all the new developments being built. More people, more traffic. Try Pole Green Road around 5 p.m. If the Hanover County Board of Supervisors decides on bike trails, letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s have it financed through a bike registration fee and yearly bike plate renewals. How happy would bike owners be with that? About as happy as non-bike riders would be seeing their tax money go for these trails instead of roads. It simply comes down to â&#x20AC;&#x153;wantsâ&#x20AC;? verses â&#x20AC;&#x153;needsâ&#x20AC;?. What I believe is we â&#x20AC;&#x153;needâ&#x20AC;? our transportation funds to be used only for road improvements and repairs which would better serve the taxpayers of Hanover County.

Surgeons and nurses prove their worth On July 11 and a few days afterwards I had the opportunity to spend time with some of the nicest professional people in Hanover County. I wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t say they are the best in the world but I doubt they would come in second to anyone. It was just a streak of luck that I got to meet them, so donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t anyone get the idea you can just walk right in and mingle. If you want to meet them hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a few suggestions to help get you there: 1) If you smoke, keep smoking. 2) If you now eat a lot of fast food, junk food and saturated fats, eat more. 3) If you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t exercise, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t start now.

Upon graduation, she accepted employment as an administrative assistant with the CSX Corporation, where she worked for 11 years. Later she moved to the firm of Fairbank, Knapp and Warren to work for William R. Warren, who was her treasured family friend for life. Later she chose to step out of the employment arena to become a stay-at-home wife and mother. Her natural leadership skills, keen intelligence and strong nurturing abilities allowed her to articulately care for her children, husband, mother and others. She often reached out to make friends with and care for the elderly in her community. As a daughter, she honored and cared deeply for her parents. She loved her father implicitly and followed in his footsteps having an avid interest in our country’s political arena. On any given day, she could discuss political topics with ease and great enthusiasm. During her

mother’s last years of life, she moved her mother into her own home and cared for her there until her mother’s passing three years later. JoAnne was a thoughtful listener to those who knew her and was there to help others along their path. Throughout her life, she treasured many friendships that endured the test of time. Her love of nature was always apparent. She enjoyed gardening and garden club friends and activities. As a dedicated animal lover and advocate, she showered her pets with the best of care. For many years prior to her passing, she enjoyed weekly Bible study meetings in her home. JoAnne was known to be a most generous and giving person. It was customary when you left her home to have a gift in your hand while hearing her very favorite expression, “Bless Your Heart.” She will be greatly missed and will live forever in the hearts of her family and friends.

Joe was born on February 12, 1927, in Fairfield, Alabama, to Seth Hamilton Mitchell and Effie Schmitz Mitchell. The youngest of three sons, he grew up in a working class family, as his father and several uncles were employed by United States Steel in the Birmingham area. Joe graduated at the top of his class from Fairfield High School in 1944. In 1945, he enlisted as a U.S. Navy hospital corpsman. After discharge in 1946, he went to the Alabama Polytechnic Institute (now Auburn University), graduating in history education in 1950. He earned an M.Div. from Duke Divinity School in 1953 and

was ordained in the Virginia Methodist Conference. Between 1953-1958, he served as pastor at Chamberlayne Heights Methodist Church in Richmond and Tabernacle Methodist Church in Pungo. He earned his Ph.D. in Religion at Duke in 1962. Joe spent most of his career in the teaching ministry as a religion and philosophy professor at Carleton College in Northfield, Minnesota. (1961 to 1962); Union College in Barbourville, Kentucky (1962 to 1965); Central Methodist College in Fayette, Missouri (1965 to 1970); and Troy State University in Troy, Alabama (1970 to 1989). In Troy, Joe and wife Dr. Norma Taylor Mitchell were faithful members of the First United Methodist Church, where Joe taught the Covenant and New Covenant Sunday School classes. There they reared their daughter, Anne Virginia. In 1989, Joe retired from Troy and re-entered the pastoral ministry at the Covenant United Methodist Church in Chesapeake from 1990 to 1992, he pastored the Ensley First United Methodist Church in Birmingham, Alabama. In 2001, Joe and Norma returned to Durham to be near their daughter and her family. There they were active in community groups, including Epworth United Methodist Church, where he taught the Fellowship Class for 15 years. ‘Til the last, Joe was a dogged researcher and writer of family and community histories, a lover of computers and his iPad, a liberal Democrat, and an insatiable reader. In addition to his parents, Joe was preceded in death by his brothers, Jesse L. Mitchell, Asheville, North Carolina, and Seth H. Mitchell Jr. and wife, Kathleen, of Corpus Christi, Texas; and his brother-in-law, Orville C. Taylor and wife, Marie Taylor of Virginia

4) Don’t take medicine for high cholesterol and blood pressure, they get lower with age. 5) You can never get too much salt so add more to everything you eat. 6) If you drink sugar free drinks, add your own sugar, don’t be a sissy. 7) Eat lots of processed meats, it’s faster than cooking. 8) Don’t have yearly physicals; remember you only need to have one when you start feeling bad. 9) See a doctor about every 20 years and you won’t be stressed over ObamaCare. Follow the above suggestions and feel free to add anything that will cause more plaque buildup. Now you need a bit of luck to catch the blockages before you die if you want to meet the nice people I mentioned above. If you are unlucky, there is another group of probably nice people waiting for you that only your relatives and friends will meet. I had a four-way bypass on July 11. I was a perfect specimen of health (or so I thought) — no symptoms, feeling fine and no problems at all. Dr. J caught a problem during my yearly physical and the rest is history, the procedure went absolutely great. The surgery and care was so great in fact that I may schedule a bypass for next year. You really need to meet these surgeons and nurses so keep eating bad food, smoking, and drink like crazy; they are always on call at Memorial Regional Medical Center. Ted Mentz Old Church

Responding to ‘prejudiced by omission’ I

read

with

interest

your Opinion article titled “There’s no place for hate in our America”, page 6 of The Mechanicsville Local dated Aug. 23, 2017. I am writing in response to what I feel are the “prejudiced by omission” opinion you have stated that does not speak to the whole story regarding the regrettable and tragic events in Charlottesville on Sunday Aug. 13. With respect to the very tragic loss of Heather Heyer, Ms. Heyer was one of those “nice people’ President Trump referred to in denouncing the atrocities we watched unfold that Sunday. She had every right to be there, and, for that, she was tragically stuck down by the act of a white supremacist idiot with intent to harm. The truth of the groups/ events of that day were: There were three groups poised for confrontation in Charlottesville: Group1.) White supremacists that received the city permit for lawful demonstration, not criminal riot conduct to promote their repulsive ideology (I may not agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death, your right to say it). Group 2.) The “Antifa”, without permit to a lawful demonstration, but were there with intent to do harm and destroy … simply said – to fight. Group 3.) Charlottesville city management under the direction of Mayor Michael Signer. By no means do I excuse the actions of either group 1 or 2, both were reprehensible, repulsive, criminal conduct … should have never been allowed. But in Charlottesville, it was allowed, if was allowed by indifference. Substantiated below through no-action taken by Mayor Signer — intentionally… Here is what I find so offensive: Neither The Local or mainstream media (in lock step) want to speak to: the Charlottesville city mayor and

police chief complicit in these repulsive events that will forever stain our Commonwealth’s history and legacy. I am aware of the rumors speaking to anonymous police officer reports saying: “We [Charlottesville police] were ordered to bring the rival groups together. As soon as they were in contact with each other, we were told to stand down. It was outrageous. We weren’t allowed to arrest anyone without asking the mayor first. We weren’t even allowed to stop the driver as he sped away. The event was being set up as far back as at least May and it went like clockwork. We wanted to do our job and keep the peace. But these [expletive] in charge really want to destroy America”. The truth is these reports are false, not true, never happened. But what did happen and not reported was the orders given law enforcement Saturday, prior, please read the complete article posted at http://www.snopes.com/werepolice-told-stand-down-charlottesville/. This article substantiates no such orders were given; rather, it was the lack of orders not given on Sunday that allowed the riots to evolve. As stated and verified — Law enforcement was told at the Saturday briefing: You are not to engage the demonstrators without specific orders from Mayor Signer. No orders were ever received, none. Guidelines were set in place to promote a riot by Charlottesville city management, yet no one in mainstream media wants to speak to this? Why is that? Why is Mechanicsville subjected to half-truths under the guise of an opinion? Surely you recognize your article promotes racial tension rather than help to resolve the hate? What am I missing here? Richard Gentry Mechanicsville

Reader: North had exploited the South The last thing I want to do is get into arguments with mindless simpletons who insist that slavery was the cause of the War Between the States. It is my guess that many if not most such people don’t actually believe it themselves but take the position simply in an effort to advance their leftist agendas. As noted in a recent issue of Confederate Veteran magazine, prior to the outbreak of hostilities in April 1861, “Southerners were paying three-fourths of the taxes going into the federal treasury, but three-fourths of the tax money was being spent in the North.” Cotton alone made up 60 percent of U.S. exports in 1860. Southerners grew 66 percent of the world’s cotton, but the North raked in the huge profits in the handling. Without the North, 100%

of the profits would stay with the South. Such exploitation of the South had been going on for decades. Abraham Lincoln, in his consultations with peace committees he met with just prior to the outbreak of war never mentioned slavery. His only concern was for “my revenues, what will happen to my revenues” if he let the South go. In September 1861, the great author Charles Dickens, who had visited the U.S., wrote in the Influential British magazine All the Year Round that “The quarrel between the North and South is…solely a fiscal one.” In a letter to a friend on March 16, 1862 he wrote, “Slavery has in reality nothing on earth to do with it, in any kind of association with any generous or chivalrous sentiment on the part of the North … Every reasonable creature may know, if willing, that the North hates the Negro, and

Do You Have a Caring Heart?

until it was convenient to make a pretense that sympathy with him was the cause of the War, it hated the Abolitionists and derided them up hill and down dale.” Our great Confederate leaders, particularly Robert E. Lee, are today being demonized mercilessly. Let’s make a comparison of Lee with Union Gen. William T. Sherman, who burned, looted, and murdered his way through South Carolina and Georgia. Both were West Point graduates. Sherman at West Point received by his own admission per annum about 150 demerits. Lee, by contrast, went through all four years at West Point without receiving a single demerit. Sherman never rose above being a private. Lee headed the Corps of Cadets as Adjutant.

R-MC hosts eclipse watch Physics professor joins in welcoming crowd to solar event By Logan Barry for The Mechanicsville Local

Nick Liberante for The Local

Luc Gilman and his sister Emma look at a projection of the eclipse on a Sunspotter. Both are students at South Anna Elementary School.

ASHLAND — Along with those across the rest of the nation in its path, students and members of the community showed up in large numbers to a solar eclipse watch party Monday, Aug. 21, at the Frank E. Brown Plaza on the campus of Randolph-Macon College. The crowd gathered in Ashland so they they could get a good view of the “once-in-a-lifetime” natural phenomenon. The event, at 300 Henry St., was hosted by R-MC, and had “everything that attendees [needed] to safely observe this spectacular event, including solar eclipse glasses,” said George F. Spagna Jr. Ph.D., R-MC physics professor, in a news release on the school’s website.

From the start of the solar eclipse at 1:17 p.m. to the eclipse’s maximum at 2:44 p.m., attendees used every pair of protective lenses, as it was a major attraction for anyone curious in seeing the moon as it partially covered the sun. When the partial eclipse peaked at its maximum, the moon continued in its path until it was clear SPAGNA of the sun at about 4:04 in the afternoon. Virginia’s position in terms of the eclipse’s path across America offered only a partial coverage of the sun’s face, in that Virginians were not able

to see totality as other parts of the nation saw. Those who attended R-MC’s event saw at least 85% of the sun covered by the moon before it hit its peak and continued past it. In addition to people being able to see the solar eclipse through special glasses that are designed to shield their eyes from any damage, Spagna also had a specially designed solar viewing projector that displayed the solar eclipse through the sun’s light and shadows via a lens. Spagna is director of the school’s Keeble Observatory, a newly constructed teaching laboratory where he said they have intentions to hold public viewing sessions. The new observatory was built in connection with the college’s newly see ECLIPSE, pg. 17

Power Soccer brings out the competitive spirit in tournament MECHANICSVILLE — There was no lack of competitive enthusiasm at the Cool Spring Baptist Church Recreation Center in Atlee as Power Soccer competitors from across the state gathered for their second annual state tournament. Sportable RVA hosted the recent event that featured three Virginia teams with athletes suffering from muscle disease or injuries who are confined to powered wheel-

chairs. Although these athletes have been deprived of their mobility, it quickly became apparent that their enthusiasm and sense of competition remain strong. It’s a competition where effort garners the most applause, and each accomplishment is cheered by all without regard to team loyalty. Sportable RVA provides disabled athletes with a number of sporting opportunities, but the real rewards of the program are best witnessed

in the relationships formed at events like the soccer tournament. Nicole Herbert of Sportable RVA said the tournament is a chance for teams to compete, but also an opportunity for athletes and their

families to interact and form relationships. “It’s our only opportunity for Sportable FC players to play against other teams so they love it. It’s a great day and they look forward to it each year,” Herbert said.

“This is our second year here at Cool Spring Baptist Church and they have been amazing in providing the space and allowing us to come in and have the tournament,” she added. Founded in 2005,

Sportable also provides opportunities for disabled athletes in 12 sports, including lacrosse, basketball, rock climbing and kayaking. It’s a rare opportunity for these athletes to interact and

constructed science building, Macon F. Brock Jr. Hall. People who participated also brought their own homemade box projectors, something you can simply design out of a shoe box. Ellen Pleasants, who lives in the Ashland zip code, said, “I’ve been looking forward to this for three to four months.” She brought her own box

projector that she made that shows the eclipse through a pinhole. Boy Scouts of America Troop 544 from Mechanicsville also attended the event. The eclipse served as a special and rare opportunity for the boys to earn a badge. Scout Troop 544 is sponsored by the Shady Grove United Methodist Church, which is the location of their meetings. They had to document

the eclipse and demonstrate their knowledge on how an eclipse occurs, as well as view the eclipse in their scout group

in order to achieve the Boy Scouts of America solar eclipse patch. For more information

Chris Mulholland has been involved with Power Soccer for years, and his son Kevin plays for the Tidewater Piranhas. When he first became involved, Mulholland noted the need for a consistent set of rules for the sport, so he devised and submitted a blueprint for consideration. Relying on Mulhollandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience as a professional referee for many decades, the national Power Soccer association tapped him as head of officials for their organization.

Mulholland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But out here on a court with all wheelchairs, they just start trading paint.â&#x20AC;? He said the experience provides a moment where the participants can enjoy the camaraderie and joy of sport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They get a chance to be competitive and that lets them loose,â&#x20AC;? Mulholland said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It teaches them about team sports. They are not typically around other people in wheelchairs.â&#x20AC;?

Steve is now a graduate student at George Mason University, studying to be a special education teacher, but loves his time on the power soccer court. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He just loves having an outlet for sports,â&#x20AC;?

Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been with the Piranhas since 2007 and has coached Sportables Football Club for the past three months, and said tournaments are a step in the right direction for the sport. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The facilities here were outstanding,â&#x20AC;?

(Editor’s note: Col. David R. Hines, sheriff of Hanover County, releases a letter to the students of Hanover County Public Schools just prior to the start of a new term. With the 2017-2018 year getting underway on Tuesday, Sept. 5, the sheriff has shared his letter with our readers.

September 5, 2017 Dear Students, Welcome back from your summer vacation! I hope you enjoyed your time away from school and spent pleasant days with your family and friends.

LEE-DAVIS

When traveling to and from school (or driving anywhere), please use your seat belt, obey the speed limit and pay attention to road conditions as well as those around you. Do not text and drive; in fact, to be safe, avoid using your phone at all while driving. You have often been spoken to about peer pressure. I wish I could tell you as you mature, peer pressure lessens, but that is not factual—we are all influenced by our peers. Ask yourself this question: “Would I make this same decision if I were alone?” If the answer is “no,” rethink your actions. As you make decisions, use good judgment and common sense.

Hanover County (and its school system in particular) is very proud of you—the outstanding young men and women returning this school year. As your sheriff, I am honored to have such fine citizens attending our schools. For seven hours each day, you are students within the Hanover School system, but for 24 hours each day, you are citizens of this county. I am proud to be your sheriff, and my message to you is to please be safe. As each of us grows, we find ourselves confronted with more temptations and difficult decisions that can affect our entire lives. We often see others making poor decisions, and we may say to ourselves, “That could not happen to me.” As you go through the year, remember when confronted with difficult situations, make good choices and keep safety in the forefront.

Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE – The New Bethesda Baptist Church at 9019 New Bethesda Rd. in Mechanicsville will host The Truth Project, a 13-week study that will be presented from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Sundays, Sept. 3 through Nov. 6. The program will focus on a world that is wrestling with questions of ethics in private life as well as government, struggling with how to value human life, witnessing the rise of artificial intelligence, and many other challenges. Among the questions that will be addressed are: How important is it to understand and develop a view of life and the world that aligns with God’s Word? What does a Biblical world view even look like in today’s culture? Each session consists of a one-hour video lesson taught by Dr. Del Tackett, who will help attendees look at life from a biblical perspective. The series will offer the opportunity to ask — and answer —questions such as: Why are we here? Who is God? If God is real, and created everything, does He have the right to expect something of His creation? If so, what is it? Who decides what’s right and wrong? The sessions will be led in person by experienced Truth Project facilitator, Felix Cross, the attorney for the Dover Baptist Association. There are no costs to the participants nor are there any printed materials to purchase. Registered participants will enjoy free online access to all of The Truth Project outlines,

which is ironic in some ways because repeating the same ideas does not seem very innovative.â&#x20AC;? Gill said he, his administrative staff and the Hanover County School Board do know that whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in the business world or the education world those who have attained success donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t change the horse midstream. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They have a commitment to the ideas, the mission of the organization.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;So the very nature of relevance in innovation means that we constantly have to analyze what we are doing in order to prepare students in the best manner possible.â&#x20AC;? The work that was accomplished last year was â&#x20AC;&#x153;fantastic.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Relevance is the idea that students see and understand a connection between what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re being taught in a classroom and what they are or will experience in the real world,â&#x20AC;? the superintendent continued. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So the ideas go beyond the bricks and mortar of a school building, and will have an application to the world in which they will live and work.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Equity is the idea that education is not best pro-

vided in a cookie cutter approach where one size fits all,â&#x20AC;? Gill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rather, we take the time to understand the unique needs and abilities of each learner and provide the resources and most rigorous education experiences possible for everyone.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Innovation should essentially speak for itself, but in the educational context innovation is giving teachers, the educators, permission to say yes to think outside of that proverbial box, to not be afraid to experiment in the classroom, and to give them the permission to have authentic learning experiences that appeal in a system in seeing the relevance of the lessons being taught.â&#x20AC;? Gill said those â&#x20AC;&#x153;three big ideas that began to emerge last year made fantastic progress but are going to continue to define who we are.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;To commit to these ideas has really shown strength in our approach, and, again, I believe it will in the year to come. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also giving our teachers permission to approach the learning process a little bit differently,â&#x20AC;? he added. Gill said that teachers were viewed as the gatekeeper of knowledge in the past. The advent of the information age with online tools and additional access has provided stu-

dents with the ability to utilize certain content areas that may give them an advantage over instructors. He emphasized that it isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a competition, but rather an opportunity â&#x20AC;&#x153;to accept and embrace that the educator may not know everything about every subject and it is perfectly OK. And, in many cases, correct for the teachers to learn along with the students, which is a new way of looking at the educational process, the model.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The teachers, now more than ever, are needed in the classroom while there is more content knowledge available at the click of a few keys than at any point in history, and being able to apply that knowledge and put it in the appropriate context, to know the pedagogy behind teaching that knowledge. That will always be what the teacher is trained to do.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have been so impressed this summer,â&#x20AC;? Gill said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a lot of professional development opportunities. While some are optional, I have been so impressed with the number of teachers and support staff that have been taking professional opportunities throughout the summer. I can feel enthusiasm for the coming year. Our staff is excited about it, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m excited about it.â&#x20AC;?

DEER Continued from pg. 1

“The current code limits rifle hunting of deer to the use of muzzle loading rifles during muzzle loaded season as well as general firearm season,” Harksen said. “The rifle hunting of other game is allowed.” Deer hunting by rifle “with conditions” is allowed in most other Virginia counties. “We did go to the Community Development Committee and reviewed this information. The committee came out with a recommendation that an ordinance if it were allowed would allow rifle hunting of deer with a rifles of .23 caliber or larger; that the person be in elevated stand of at least 10 feet,” Harksen said. The committee recommended the matter be referred to the full board for consideration of scheduling a public hearing regarding the changes.

Harksen asked the supervisors to approve a motion that would schedule a public hearing on the matter next month. Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley, Beaverdam District supervisor, said he had already received many comments on the proposed changes, the majority of them emanating from hunters. “Everyone I’ve talked to on this so far — and they’ve all been hunters — have been in opposition because they say, even if it’s approved, they are not going to allow it in their clubs,” Stanley said. Davis said the committee he chairs recommended the board consider a public hearing to gather input from all sides concerned regarding the changes. “Between now and the time of the hearing, please contact your board member if you have any questions or concerns or opposition, and you can read the ordinance on our website,” Davis said.

Jim Ridolphi for The Local

Troy Bell, director of marketing for the Capital Region Airport Commission, provided an update on performance at RIR for the past year to the Hanover County Board of Supervisors last Wednesday. He said more direct flights are available from the airport than last year and fares remain competitive. Boston was the most travelled to city from Richmond the past 12 months.

The board voted unanimously to authorize a public hearing on the proposed ordinance.

Board members also received an update from Troy Bell, director of marketing director for the Capital Region Airport Commission. He recently was named Employee of the Year at RIC. Bell relayed continued good news regarding flight opportunities from Richmond. When it comes

to accessibility, it appears you can get there from Richmond. Bell said the airport continues to enjoy a rise in ridership and rates remain within five percent of the national average. There also are more direct connections from RVA to destinations like Boston, Denver and Fort Lauderdale. Bell said ridership on flights from Richmond to popular destinations like the Caribbean also are increasing, and flights from Richmond to many cities are considerably less than the same fare from Norfolk. The director also noted two major improvements recently completed that will allow more expansion at the Henrico facility. A new taxiway provides better traffic flow for incoming and departing flights and an access road to the eastern portion of the airport should enhance industrial and support development in that area of RIC. Stanley and South Anna supervisor Wayne Hazzard serve on the Airport Commission, and Stanley has been elected incoming chairman. Hazzard heads the commission’s finance com-

mittee. In other matters, the board appropriated $91,000 from the department’s contingency fund to provide funding for the county’s 25 percent match requirement for a $1 million federal grant. Fire-EMS Chief Jethro Piland said the funds will allow the county to provide full-time staffing for nine positions at the Farrington Fire Station. The SAFER grant is issued through the Department of Homeland Security. “It was well needed and came at the right time,” Piland said. Without the grant, Piland estimated it would have taken the county at least three years to achieve the same goal minus the federal funding. The board approved the county’s share by a unanimous vote. Piland said the contingency fund still has an $848,000 balance. The board also agreed to accept a $78,000 in-kind donation from the Beaverdam Youth League to install lighting at Montpelier Park. The lighting will allow for night play on the fields and facilitate other activities at the site. The county share on the $120,000 project is $42,000.

is something we are all proud of.” Lane said the project was envisioned with a focus on equity and providing instruction for computer science related jobs that are needed in Richmond today. But, according to Lane, the vision went further. “We also wanted to create what we hope will be the most innovative school in the Richmond region, one that thinks about the high school experience differently and can be a laboratory for things we can replicate in our schools,” Lane said. David Myers, superintendent of New Kent County Public Schools, also serves on the advisory board and told the assembled group the idea for CodeRVA had humble beginnings, at least fundingwise. “We started with a $50,000 grant from the Department of Education,” Myers said. The Commonwealth has provided further funding for the new school, including funds that will allow Code RVA students to attend school year-round on a trimester system. “This has been a huge effort, not only in sweat equity, but in the amount of funding that was necessary to make it happen,” Myers said. Roger Bourassa, a Hanover County School Board member, serves on the CodeRVA board and said the project struck him on a personal level.

Bourassa makes his living in the IT business, but found no outlet for his skills and interests in high school. He ended up studying automobile engine repair in technical school, but quickly yearned for a career more suited to his interests and abilities. He returned to college to pursue his career in IT. “To have this opportunity at a young age and get into technology is a great opportunity for these students,” Bourassa said. “They’ll get the opportunity to live and learn now, grow from it — and I can’t imagine what they will be able to do right out of high school. These kids will be 18 years old with opportunities.” Hanover County Public Schools assistant superintendent Jennifer Greif focused on the laboratory aspect of the project and said many of those innovative ideas could end up in Hanover schools. “In addition to serving the students coming here, it’s also going to serve as a model for us to rethink the way we do even our comprehensive high schools in Hanover,” she said. “We’re really looking at this as a learning lab — sending teachers down to see how things are running with blended and integrated learning and really being able to tap into some of that type of thinking to bring back in to our own schools,” Greif added.

jected capacity of about 400 students. CodeRVA executive director Mike Bolling welcomed visitors to the new facility in a ribbon cutting ceremony last week. “We will be serving 93 students in the greater Richmond area from 13 school divisions. We’re really excited about this opportunity,” Bolling said. He thanked a number of local businesses that supported the project, including Capital One, which funded or donated all the furniture for the facility. Bolling also acknowledged the efforts of Michael and Sons Services owner Basim Mansour, and CarMax for their large donation for technology acquisition. “We had so many incredible partners who invested in helping us create the next generation high school,” Bolling said. The director said these initial 93 students are taking a “leap of faith,” but predicted they’ll emerge on “the leading edge.” Mansour said leasing the non-traditional campus space to CodeRVA is a perfect fit for his firm and promotes values he personally considers important. “I’m so proud to have CodeRVA in this building because it’s exactly what I wanted,” Mansour said. “I’m a big supporter and proponent of education. This is a place that can change lives.” CodeRVA advisory board chair and Chesterfield County Public Schools superintendent James Lane said the opening is the result of years of collaborative hard work. “We started together with superintendents from Region I dreaming up this school about two and a half years ago,” Lane said. “To see it come to reality

TRUTH Continued from pg. 23

a world that is wrestling with questions of ethics in private life as well as government, struggling with how to value human life, witnessing the rise of artificial intelligence, and many other challenges. Among the questions that will be addressed are: How important is it to understand and develop a view of life and the world that aligns with God’s Word? What does a Biblical world view even look like in today’s culture? Each session consists of a one-hour video lesson taught by Dr. Del Tackett, who will help attendees look at life from a biblical perspective. The series will offer the opportunity to ask — and answer —questions such as: Why are we here? Who is God? If God is real, and created everything, does He have the

right to expect something of His creation? If so, what is it? Who decides what’s right and wrong? The sessions will be led in person by experienced Truth Project facilitator, Felix Cross, the attorney for the Dover Baptist Association. There are no costs to the participants nor are there any printed materials to purchase. Registered participants will enjoy free online access to all of The Truth Project outlines, PowerPoint slides, selected videos, and interviews with experts on the various subjects covered. The Truth Project sessions are open to the public. Go to http://www.thetruthproject.org to see a brief video introduction. Light refreshments will be served at 6:10 p.m. Those planning to attend are asked to arrive by that time to get seated. Online registration is recommended but not required. For more information, call the church at 804-779-2101.

Hanover puts up fight in loss to Monacan By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – After 12 minutes of play, it looked like Monacan, ranked No. 7 in the Times-Dispatch preseason poll, was well on its way to a runaway win over a rebuilding squad at Hanover High School Friday night. After 24 minutes of play, it looked like the Hawks were going to put up a fight. They did. While the Chiefs – led by five touchdowns from Korey Bridy and a 302-yard passing performance by quarterback Syour Fludd – did prevail, Hanover fell by a respectable 26-14 margin. The first quarter was dominated by Fludd’s passing and a defensive onslaught, led by defensive end Marteise Phipps, that rarely gave Fludd’s Hanover counterpart, Tyler Elrod, a chance to breathe much less pass. The Chiefs jumped out to a 20-0 lead. But the Hawks were undaunted. “We needed to put the little things together,” Elrod said. “We were there making the plays, but the third-and-longs, the third-and-shorts, we just had to put together. Defense stepped up. We put some points on the board.” Hanover’s biggest problem was Phipps and the opportunities he created for his lineback-

ers to get to Elrod. Statistically, Elrod rushed 10 times for minus 33 yards – almost all of that a result of him scrambling for his life as Monacan defenders, frequently untouched by blockers, flushed him out of the pocket. While the Hawks were never fully able to contain Phipps and the Chiefs’ frequently blitzing linebackers, they did make enough adjustments to allow Elrod a bit of time to make

plays. He led Hanover to two scores for 11 points in the second quarter. “They started double-teaming our pass rusher No. 4, Marteise Phipps,” said Monacan head coach Jim Henderson. “They started to help out and get some extra bodies on him, and that definitely helped them get a little bit more time back there in the pocket. And they exploited some things in the

secondary when we were in between coverages and stuff like that.” Hanover’s first score ended after a quick exchange early in the second quarter. The Hawks’ quarter-opening drive ended in a pick by Monacan defensive back Daniel Peterson. But on the Chiefs’ third play after the turnover, Hanover defensive back Tyler McCormick returned the favor,

intercepting Fludd and setting the Hawks up with a first-and10 on their 23-yard line. The Hawks reached the Monacan 8-yard-line, but could get no closer. Hanover head coach Derek Stoudt called in placekicker John Dustin, who – despite bouncing the ball off the right goalpost – made good on the 26-yard field goal attempt to make it 20-3. Monacan looked set to score

again late in the half, driving from their 15 to the Hanover 27, when the Hawk defense stepped up again. Defensive back Eric McLemore snagged another Fludd pass and set Hanover up on its own 20 with less than a minute to go before intermission. The Hawks needed just one play to make good on the opportunity. Elrod tossed up a bomb to Parker Chenault. Chenault first touched the ball midfield along the Monacan sideline. He bobbled it and bobbled it before finally getting control about the Monacan 30 and sprinting across the goal line. Eric Rankin ran the conversions in to make it 20-11. “That touchdown was huge. It gave us momentum and let us know we were in the game,” Elrod said. Still, watching the bobbled ball gave him some discomfort. “I was nervous,” Elrod said. “But he held on to it.” Hanover opened the second half with a 75-yard scoring drive capped by another 26-yard field goal by Dustin. Despite being sacked four times, Elrod finished with a solid outing, completing 22-of44 passes for 312 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. His favorite target was McLemore, who snagged 11 passes for 110 yards. see HANOVER, pg. 32

Patrick Henry hopes to do it again at states Connor Askew and freshman Conor McFadden to supplement Cole on the outside. But Cassil notes that her newcomers have extensive volleyball experience and expects them to make a strong transition – even if it takes some time. “We have many seniors leading the team, but the new players are very experienced and they add to the depth of our team,” Cassil said. “We have a few people new to volleyball, so keeping a high level of play with each lineup is tough right now. I have every confidence we will get there sooner rather than later.”

By Chip Knighton For The Mechanicsville Local What do you do for the encore for a state championship team? Patrick Henry boys volleyball coach Michael Townsend hopes to run it back and do it again. The Patriots went 21-4 and defeated three-time defending state champions Princess Anne in three games in last year’s Group 5A state championship, and nearly every important player from that team is back. Senior setter Adam Lane was named state player of the year after compiling 843 assists. Most of the beneficiaries of those sets are also back, including junior all-state picks Jarrett Carrano (outside hitter) and Jaxon Delgado (middle hitter), who combined for 420 kills in 2016. Senior libero Connor Logan, a second-team all-state pick, is also back, as is second-team allconference outside hitter C.W. McIlhenny and senior opposite Luke Puckett. Their performance will go a long way toward determining Patrick Henry’s chance to repeat. “I definitely feel like we’re a better team than we were at this point last year,” Townsend said. “But a bunch of other teams have gotten better, too.” Sophomore Cal Inge will get the first crack at replacing the lone starter missing from 2016, middle Carter Riddle. So Townsend should get his wish for a similar season to the one that ended with the Patriots celebrating at the Siegel Center. “The odds look like they’re in our favor,” Townsend said. “But we have a lot of work to do to get there. Our mindset is to work hard and good things will happen. We want to do the exact same thing we did last year.” If the Patriots do repeat, however, it will be in a differ-

Patrick Henry hopes to earn another excuse to form a dogpile over head coach Michael Townsend, as it did after winning the VHSL Group 5A state boys volleyball championship last year. With most of its starters back, it has a good chance of doing so.

(opposite) and their combined 557 kills have moved on, leaving a hole in the Atlee attack. Outside hitter Blake O’Donnell and setter Michael Norris will lead the offense this year, with sophomore outside hitter Mason Ellenberger, sophomore middle Christian Rollison and junior outside hitter Nathan Sening playing big roles – the latter two in their first year on varsity. Sening doubles as a libero, while senior defensive specialist Ryan Henderson returns to lead the defense. “This year, we will have a balanced offense relying on several new varsity players to step up and fill the shoes of Alex

and Jake,” coach Randy Jones said. “We have a ways to go, but I predict we will be a different, much improved team by the end of the season.” Hanover Hanover coach Hilary Cassil hopes good things come with experience. The Hawks return eight seniors from last year’s 1811 team, led by all-state outside hitter Turner Cole. Setter Brendan English returns to run the offense, with two experienced middles in Peyton Grubbs and Griffin Meyers. For all that experience, the Hawks will rely on two firsttime varsity players, junior

Lee-Davis Size is a helpful trait for any volleyball team, and Lee-Davis coach Nick Brown has it in spades. He has four seniors over 6-foot-4 in outside hitter Cole Schlothauer, opposite Aaron Milstead and middles John Emory and Brandon Halphen, and with that height comes the ability to rain powerful spikes from all over the court. Schlothauer, who had 201 kills last year, is the most efficient of the group. But Milstead actually led the Confederates with 234 kills. Getting them the ball will be a newcomer, sophomore setter Nick Rodgers, who was voted a captain by his teammates despite his youth. “He’ll be as important to our success as anybody else,” Brown said. “Cole and Aaron will steal the headlines because they can hit the ball, but everything runs through Nick.” With an imposing offense, the Confederates will go as far as their less-proven defense will take them. “We’ve worked hard all offseason on our defense,” Brown said. “We know that’s what we need to drive our success.

Girls Atlee Like the Lee-Davis boys, the Atlee girls return nearly everybody from a team that had a good, but not great 2016. That entire team returns after going 18-10 last season, a record that coach Curtis Carpenter calls “less than mediocre.” That said, the Raiders have plenty of individual talent. The most likely to step into the shoes of past Atlee stars like Rachel Stanford, Hailey Brooks and Meg Bowers is senior middle Kyra Walden, who rang up 113 kills and 47 blocks as a junior. Joining her on a talented front line are classmates Lauren O’Reilly, an outside hitter, and Tabitha Green, who rotates between middle and outside hitter. Setter Annie Jarvis returns after collecting 469 assists as a junior, but Carpenter knows his team will go as far as its ball control will take it. “We can be very good offen-

Hanover Hanover is younger than Atlee, but the returning Hawks picked up plenty of quality experience during an 18-4 2016. Chief among those experienced returnees is senior outside hitter Kylie Tuxford, who rang up 315 kills and 187 digs en route to a honorable mention all-region nod. Two juniors – outside hitter Megan Kratzer and opposite Olivia Everhart – make up a promising offense, while senior Hannah Reichel and sophomore newcomer Anna Loce will hold down the middle for a team that coach Greg Knight cited for its serving, serve-receiving and intelligent play. The Hawks also have a deep defense with two viable liberos in senior Lauren Hughes (147 digs in 2016) and sophomore Leslie Anne Currie. Unfortunately, that depth might be tested as Hanover enters the season with injury issues.

Lee-Davis Kristy Porterfield may be the new coach on the block in the Hanover County volleyball scene, but she’s got plenty of experience in local volleyball circles and in the county. She’s the aunt of aforementioned Hanover star Tuxford and has coached junior teams at Richmond Volleyball Club for years. Porterfield’s mother, longtime Meadowbrook coach Kim Aldous, is the junior varsity coach at Lee-Davis, but that’s not the coaching hire she’s most excited about. That would be former Virginia Commonwealth standout Kat Lester, who is working almost exclusively with the Confederates’ setters. “She brings us a wealth of knowledge in an area where we were weak,” Porterfield said. “We graduated our setter, so we had to develop one from scratch. That’s a big hole to be filling.” Junior Jillian Turner will look to fill that role in her first year on varsity after switching positions. She’ll be aided by a deep, talented group of hitters led by senior outside Brooke Adkins, senior middle Mackenzie Wright, senior opposite Casey Branson and junior oppo-

ASHLAND – Once again, Hanover proved the dominant team in the Hanover County Quad golf match at Hanover Country Club Tuesday. The Hawks scorched the course with three scores in the 30s: Jimmy Hill and Christian Dyer, who both tied for medalist honors with 2-over-par 37s, and Andrew Wilkinson with a 3-over 38. Jack Proctor finished off the scoring by posting a 6over 41. Hanover finished with a 153, followed by Atlee at 166,

Lee-Davis at 175 and Patrick Henry at 180. Dyer said home-course advantage helped the Hawks prevail. “Us playing and practicing here every day, it allows you to know the course and know your shots and which shots you want to hit at certain times,” Dyer said. “That had a big role to play in it.” Home-course advantage did not help the Patriots much, however.

TAURUS • Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, it is unwise to make any impulsive commitments or decisions right now. Too many things are in flux, and you have to work through all the scenarios for a little bit longer. GEMINI • May 22/Jun 21 The key to creating some spark in your love life this week is through your social life, Gemini. Spend time with an eclectic group of friends who can offer a new experience.

CANCER • Jun 22/Jul 22 Cancer, exercise patience in regards to a financial situation in the coming months. Patience may pay off if you can simply wait things out. Lean on a loved one for support.

LIBRA • Sept 23/Oct 23 Keep a spouse’s or special someone’s feelings in mind before making a decision that impacts you both, Libra. Otherwise, you risk damaging the relationship.

CAPRICORN • Dec 22/Jan 20 A calm demeanor may help you get through a situation unscathed, Capricorn. Try not to attract any attention right now and everything should be fine.

LEO • Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, you might have your mind set on a vacation to an exotic location. If that is your ultimate goal, work toward making it a possibility in the near future.

SCORPIO • Oct 24/Nov 22 Scorpio, this week you may get the chance to revisit an issue from your past. Use the opportunity wisely, as second chances are rare and this is a unique opportunity.

AQUARIUS • Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, coworkers may demand more from you this week, but you don’t really have the time for extra work. Find someone who can share in some of these additional tasks.

VIRGO • Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, even though you know what needs to get done, you may experience difficulty adhering to a schedule. Look to a friend to get you back on course.

SAGITTARIUS • Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, although you may appear reserved on the surface, underneath it all the wheels are turning in your mind at a rapid pace. You have plans you’re not yet willing to share.

PISCES • Feb 19/Mar 20 Every action carries extra weight this week, Pisces. People may be watching you more closely, so exercise caution.
