Technology plan, employee raises in budget proposal By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local

Dr. Michael Gill, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools, gives the budget presentation.
ASHLAND -- Despite a number of funding challenges, Dr. Michael Gill, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools, presented a FY 2019 budget that continues a pattern of improved technology and expanded opportunities in county schools. Although the current state budget contains no funds for teacher raises, Gill’s proposed budget provides a 2% increase for all school employees and also continues funding for an adopted five-year technology plan.
HCPS changes calendar to make up for snow days Staff Report news@mechlocal.com ASHLAND -- Hanover County Public Schools students will be going “full” days on Feb. 8, 19 and 22 to make up for the recent closings due to inclement weather. Chris R. Whitley, public
information officer, said the days were originally for: professional development, Feb. 8; a student and teacher holiday, now an “A” day, Feb. 19;and an early closing for parent-teacher conferences, Feb. 22. “In light of the recent see SNOW, pg. 18 }
Middle school teachers received laptops last October and elementary and high school teachers are scheduled to obtain their devices next year. U nder the plan, student laptops will begin distribution in 2022. Gill elaborated on the funding challenges as he presented the budget at a special meeting last week at the Central Office. An increase in the county’s Local Composite Index (LCI) cost the county a potential $2 million increase in funding, and the final state contribution was actually about $500,000. That equates to an increased share
for local funds derived from county taxpayers. “What that means for any locality, not only Hanover, is that if we are going to a give a salary adjustment, that is going to have to be absorbed locally,” Gill said. Gill also pointed to increased demands in special education, specific behavioral programs and English as a second language classes. Since 2013, ESL classes have doubled in size. The superintendent’s budget provides one additional ESL teacher, 2.6 new counselor positions, two behavioral interventionists and two Special
Education teachers. The proposed budget also allows for two IT Resource teachers and one IT support position. Gill highlighted the accomplishments of the system in a changing educational environment, moves that have included STEM (Science Technology Engineering and Mathematics) and STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Arts and Mathematics) programs at every elementary school in the county. “We continue to focus on relevance, equity and innovation,” Gill see BUDGET, pg. 4 }

BUDGET said. “You are seeing a focus on education that is not your father’s approach to education.” Although the enrollment trend for Hanover County is basically level, the superintendent noted that student needs continue to increase. “Our enrollment has been flat, but our instructional needs have not been flat,” Gill said. “While our enrollment figures
have not changed, our student needs have absolutely changed.” In addition to the salary increases and technology plan continuation, the proposal also doubles the number of students in a regional program called CodeRVA, increasing the number of Hanover students served to 16.

From the managing editor
Living the life and loving it in the USA By Melody Kinser Managing Editor Those of us who were born in the United States may -- unintentionally -- take for granted the benefits we enjoy on a daily basis. A recent encounter with a young woman from Southeast Asia was enlightening as she beamed in talking about life in America and how much she loves it here. Her reaction nearly brought tears to my eyes as I watched and listened to her talk about how much she loves this country and its opportunities. I was especially pleased when she talked about her plans to become a citizen.
She is in her mid-20s and has been in the U.S. less than 10 years. Her family has a nice home in a neighboring county and she has a job she likes. Just ask her about living here and she lights up and smiles. While some may whine about this or that political hiccup, we should be mindful of those who came here in pursuit of a better life. They serve as reminders of what makes our nation great. I’m not going to enter the fray about immigrants at this point, but I will say I wholeheartedly agree with the words on the Statue of Liberty: Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses
yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. To spread the light of liberty worldwide for every land. As for the young woman whose conversation prompted this topic, her enthusiasm sparked a pride that can’t be taken from an American. She is here because of what we have and what we offer. She is living her own dream. I extended heartfelt congratulations to her and wished her all the best as she looks to become a naturalized American citizen. She is an example we all should follow in how we think about our homeland.
MLK Day brought back memories of an unsung hero By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist
Old photographs of memorable events that provide a local flavor to nationally known events always intrigue me. So, a few years ago when I received a phone call from an aging Petersburg resident who informed me of several black and white photos he possessed that could shed light on the Civil Rights movement with a local angle, I jumped at the opportunity. Petersburg native Herbert Coulton was well in his 70s at the time, but his recollections of the struggle were vivid,
and he had the photos to validate his memories. I met Coulton at the First Baptist Church in Petersburg, and was impressed with his energetic nature and a phenomenal ability to remember events of the past. He handed me a stack of photos depicting Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s visit to the metro area in the early 1960s. The 8x10 glossy black and white was taken at what was then Byrd Field, and depicted a number of local African American leaders, Coulton among them, escorting King through

the lobby at the Richmond airport. At the time of the visit, Coulton was serving as field director for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, a mainstay of the struggle for integration and equal rights throughout the nation. But, the real and most dangerous work took place in the South, and Coulton spent years traveling in North Carolina, Tennessee and Virginia spreading Dr. King’s message of equality. When Coulton learned of my roots in Montgomery, Alabama, he told me we had probably walked the same
ground in that Alabama city, ground zero for the Civil Rights movement. But, our steps were much different. While I played and skipped through the downtown streets of Montgomery, Coulton’s trek was much more important. When protesters marched from Selma to Montgomery in March 1965, Coulton was there with other leaders like John Lewis, Andrew Young and Hopewell Mayor Curtis Harris. The march began with 3,000 protesters. By the time it ended at the State Capitol on Dexter Avenue in see UNSUNG, pg. 7 }

Resident: Leaders need to consider feelings of all Thanks be to God for the successful inauguration of our diverse new Virginia leadership team. It was a pleasure to hear the usually quiet and subdued, yet humble Gov. Ralph Northam speak in direct terms. Our new governor comes into office with a principled outlook on the governing of Virginia. His reflection on Virginia’s past by noting, “in a church 15 blocks away, Virginia’s first elected governor, Patrick Henry,” a native of Hanover County, “helped launch the revolution with his ‘Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death’ speech but at the bottom of that same hill was the largest slave trading market coming to life, where Virginians would sell men, women and children for profit. Our history is a complex one.” Our history is a complex one, and Hanover, that includes our history. Yet, the governor stated that as we look back we must move forward. 1. And here is where we wonder if Hanover County will come together in moving forward. Our state leadership understands the need for hope. Does Hanover County? I listened intently as Gov. Northam spoke of his VMI values of not lying, cheating or stealing or standing with those who commit these offenses. Yet, daily, the person charged with leading the United States, whom, many citizens of Hanover County voted to elect, does these things. As I heard Gov. Northam, I was reminded of the Rotarian fourway test, Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneficial to all concerned?

Montgomery, more than 25,000 people had joined the march. The 54-mile march from Selma to Montgomery weren’t the only steps Coulton took to advance the cause. He participated in numerous marches with Dr. King, and spent a lifetime fighting for social justice for minorities. But, he recalled the day he knelt and prayed on the Edmund Pettis Bridge in Selma, and how Dr. King faced enormous danger in leading the march. Coulton relayed, in his usual unique point of view, the march opened his eyes to several things. The power of the movement was evident, but the subtle acts of whites along the route were enlightening for the
Petersburg veteran. He noted numerous acts of kindness provided by whites as the group covered approximately 12 miles a day, sleeping in fields and backyards along the way. Coulton said whites joined black supporters along the road and often brought food and drink to the assembled campgrounds each night. For Coulton, Selma was only a chapter in a lifetime mission to better the path for minorities in this country. He also told me of encounters with the Ku Klux Klan and police beatings as he traveled the South recruiting members and registering voters. It quickly became clear that Coulton was a man who not only talked the talk, but also walked the walk. I sat and talked with Coulton for several hours, a conversasee UNSUNG, pg. 8 }

compassionate plea for moral leadership of Gov. Northam -and even if you want to ignore him simply because he is a Democrat -- many of you are Rotarians, won’t you abide by your own motto?

color to the only high school in Hanover that they could attend, which was in some instances 15 miles from where they lived. While at the same time they paid for Caucasian children to have bus transportation. The board of supervisors, however, denied but “appreciated” the group’s efforts that made the request. My grandfather, Lucian Hunter, had to purchase his own bus to transport children for two years before Hanover County decided it could afford a small stipend to help offset the cost of transporting black children, while Caucasian children rode freely each day to school. This legacy of discrimina-
tion continues in Hanover County. In, 2018, Hanover continues to want to remind us of what they perceive as our subjection, and their dominance over people of color. They want to remind us daily with symbols of the confederacy surrounding our children’s every day lives. They perpetuate the fake news of a win by the confederacy by retaining the names Lee-Davis and Stonewall Jackson for schools with a diverse population. The Hanover County School Board appears to want my children and grandchildren to walk around with the word Confederates on their school
uniforms (I can remember my son wearing a jacket to cover his band uniform with the word Confederate on it) or to have to see on their yearbooks or to have to hear it each Friday on the news as football and basketball game scores are announced that they are Confederates. Is this true? Is it kind? Is it fair to all concerned? Is this building goodwill and better friendships? Is it beneficial to all concerned? My answer is “No,” and I would suggest that our board of supervisors is failing the test of being moral leaders or members who live by the motto of
a lot of work left to do.” Following his role in King’s movement, Coulton returned to Petersburg and continued to make a mark in his community and working for equal rights. As we celebrate the accomplishments of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. it’s also impor-
tant to remember the many like Coulton who provided the legwork and energy behind the efforts. Coulton passed away in 2016 at the age of 81, the majority of those years dedicated to change and equality. He joins a group of quickly disappearing
colleagues who remain nameless to most but who represent the struggle in a special way, unknown but notable. Coulton penned his memories in his book, “In the Shadows of Giants,” a autobiography that traces his years with King and the SCLC.

the Rotary when they choose to do nothing to correct this discriminating policy. The argument from those who do not want change, is that it is “my heritage” so we want to retain the name. What about my heritage? Does it not matter to you how people of color, who attended the same school as you, feel? Our board of supervisors has shown it does not matter. As a group of people, we do not seem to matter to Hanover County. When a county can be so hurtful to another group of their people by saying “We don’t care about your feelings; we want what we want; you are speaking clearly to us about how much we matter to this county.” A simple name change is all that is being asked -- not a dismantling of the school, just a change in name. The precedent has been set by counties or cities like Charlottesville, a place as historic as our own and Petersburg. What is so holy about the name of a school that you would hold fast to it knowing you are disparaging other students who attended there? Does the word compromise even ring in the ears of our county leadership? We recognize that moral leadership in Washington, D.C., is gone, but is it in Hanover County also? Why not show some good faith and start by removing the mascot of the Confederate representing Lee-Davis High School? It would be a start in the right direction. We are aware of the one member of the board who has already said he is not in favor of changing the name. It appears there is no hope in appealing to his heart; however, others of you have not so publicly made these statements, perhaps there is still time for you to search your hearts for the good of all Hanover citizens.
to Dibble, “several individuals” have since contacted the school board. It’s my guess that the local chapter of the Flat Earth Society, if there is one, could do better than those numbers. Why do I call it a non-issue? Simply because the vast majority of Hanover County citizens have no interest in changing the names. They realize it is simply a part of a leftist national effort, based on ignorance and bigotry, to demonize anything connected to the Confederacy and to erase history. It is my guess that nearly all of those pushing for the changes could not answer the most elementary questions about the Civil War, the individuals involved, and its true cause. I’m writing here as a father whose four children attended Hanover County Public Schools. (Will proudly mention that younger daughter broke the school record for the high jump while attending Stonewall Jackson Middle School and that older daughter played on the Mechanicsville Little League softball team that won the Virginia state championship in 1984.)

the late 1980s, but my singular and most poignant memory of this phenomenon came by way of two Lee-Davis High School students defending their right to wave the Confederate flag at football pep rallies. The Fairfax County high school I attended was my world and epicenter. Had it not been for National Forensic League (NFL) debate tournaments and the summer high school debate institute I attended at George Mason University, I would have had no idea that Lee-Davis High School even existed in the Commonwealth of Virginia, let alone that there was controver-
sy surrounding its mascot “the Confederates” and name. During that two-week high school debate camp I became friends with two girls who attended Lee-Davis. They were intelligent, fun, opinionated and informed. We quickly became friends. Later that summer, I invited them to visit me in McLean where they were hosted by my family. As I recall, they spent a lot of that weekend complaining about how the boys who went to their high school weren’t smart enough for them to date. I shared with them my Langley impressions and experiences. In
other words, I remember doing the kinds of things you’d expect normal 16-year-old-girls to be doing and having the kinds of conversations you’d expect normal 16-year-old girls to be having.

My request is that the board of supervisors begins to represent all people of Hanover County with your actions and even your statements. Thank you, Gov. Northam, for taking a stand for decency and for right! I stand with you. I wish the county of my father, my grandfather and my greatgrandfather, who lived on the very land as did Patrick Henry in what was then known as Prospect Hill and is now called Pine Slash, would take the very same stand for right, to uplift and not tear down a group of people who pay our taxes just like everyone else. I continue to reside in Hanover, as Gov. Northam stated there is plenty of good here but there is still some bad that needs fixing. I wish we as all citizens of Hanover were able to look back at the bad; regrettably, some of us still must live with the bad in 2018. Pat Hunter-Jordan Mechanicsville

tackles opioid epidemic Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com
WASHINGTON — The American Farm Bureau Federation and National Farmers Union have joined forces to launch a new awareness campaign called “Farm Town Strong” to highlight the opioid epidemic’s impact on U.S. farming communities and to provide resources and support for those affected by the crisis. A recent survey sponsored by the two organizations found that 50 percent of rural Americans say they have been directly impacted by opioid abuse. That percentage jumped to 74, however, among farmers and farm workers. Three in four farmers said it would be easy for someone in their communities

Stoney: MLK Day used to focus on giving, serving By Melody Kinser Managing Editor
ASHLAND – Rather than viewing Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day as a day “off,” with government and schools closed on Jan. 15, Richmond Mayor Levar M. Stoney said, to him, “it’s really a day on – a day on which we focus on what Dr. King called our ‘beloved’ communities by giving, serving.” Stoney was the keynote speaker for the MLK Day program at Randolph-Macon College. He referred to the observance as “A day in which we reflect on what we can do to make life better for our brothers and sisters. A day in which we pause and consider how a life lived with love, compassion and courage can light the pathway to promote understanding, rec-

ASHLAND -- Ashland Theatre Foundation has named Douglas Love to the position of president and chief executive officer. Love, a seasoned leader and innovator in cultural entertainment and educational institutions, was identified for the Ashland Theatre by the Richmond-based firm, Virginia Non-Profit Associates in a nationwide search. “Douglas Love has created IP businesses for some of the largest film, television, publishing and digital companies in the world. As an acclaimed non-profit arts administrator, executive, producer, author and director, he has advanced the convergence of entertainment and education around the globe,” said Meredith Handakas, founding principal of Virginia Non-Profit Associates. “We were searching for a star leader to launch our soon-to-be renovated worldclass facility in the “Center of the Universe” (Ashland),” said Clark Mercer, president of Ashland Theatre Foundation’s Board of Directors. “He is not only going to be a visionary leader for Ashland Theatre Foundation, but also a tremendous asset for Richmond and the entire region.” Formerly the CEO of Walden Family Playhouse, a live entertainment venture of Anschutz Film Group
(Walden Media Film Studios), Love recently worked to raise millions to build a Children’s Museum in Western New York as a catalyst for economic development, social equity and new concepts in education.

DOUGLAS LOVE
He is the creator of World Book Encyclopedia’s Dramatic Learning, the most popular online arts education program in the world with 11 million paid subscribers in 23 countries. Love also is the creator and executive producer of Disney’s top-rated daytime television series, “Out of the Box,” winning three Parents’ Choice Awards and an Emmy nomination, as well as the animated series, “Jammin’ Animals”, for HBO. A published author of over 30 works for HarperCollins, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt,
Disney Press and others, Love is a widely noted expert on educational programming, curriculum and arts education. He has served as the creativity expert for ABC News and Lifetime television, and has taught for the University of Miami Professional Theater Conservatory. “Having spent the last two and a half decades working to innovate the way people engage with the performing arts, television and cinema,” said Love, “I couldn’t pass up this opportunity to grow and expand this historic gem of a theatre into an impactful institution for the Town of Ashland, the city of Richmond and beyond.” Love arrives as the Ashland Theatre announces being awarded a $150,000 matching grant from The Cabell Foundation to further fund its construction. Renovations were initially funded by a $500,000 grant from the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development matched by $500,000 from the Town of Ashland. The board of the Theatre Foundation has committed to raising an additional $1.5 million for additional state of the art cinema, live music and theatre equipment and new comfortable seats. “I am beyond excited about the rebirth of the Ashland Theatre,” said Ashland Mayor see LOVE, pg. 17 }

erful Civil War generals who waged war against their own country to keep black people in bondage in the South,” the mayor said. While he admitted he didn’t remember any of Stonewall Jackson’s speeches, Stoney said he was certain those attending last week’s program knew “at least a line or two from Dr. King.” “I know many of you can remember the words of the ‘I Have a Dream’ speech, delivered nearly 55 years ago on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C. Part of the dream was that ‘little black boys and little black girls will be able to join hands with little white boys and white girls as sisters and brothers.’ And that a man would be judged by ‘the content of his character,’ and not by the ‘color of his skin,” he added. Stoney said, “That dream, that hope, is a reality in some parts of our world, and we’ve come a long way since 1963 -even in Virginia.” The mayor pointed out the election of Richmond native L. Douglas Wilder as the state’s first African American gover-

nor in 1989. In November 2016, Stoney became the youngest mayor in the city’s history. “There is not a day that goes by that I don’t marvel at my privilege to stand here before you, because of the paths and the opportunities afforded to me by the actions of Civil Rights giants like Dr. King and, close to home, Oliver Hill and Henry Marsh, and the accomplishments of men like Gov. Wilder,” he said. This year, he said the focus will be on “trying to put Dr. King’s dream into practice, by expanding that ‘equality of opportunity’ in our city.” With the start of a new year, Stoney asked the crowd to add a resolution to their lists. The goal, he said, is “What you can do and what you will pursue in 2018 to help your family, your community, realize Dr. King’s dream? The mayor talked about the book, “Integrity,” by Stephen L. Carter. He said the author refers to Dr. King as, in addition to exemplifying integrity, he was steadfast. “In other words, the author was highlighting not just Dr. King’s principles, but his commitment to his principles and
his willingness to see them through, even in the face of great adversity and personal risk.” Stoney said King continued “to speak up and speak out, even as he received death threats, and, in the case of his 1955 Montgomery, Alabama, bus boycott, saw his house bombed.” The Civil Rights leader was 26 at the time. The mayor shared a suggestion from Dr. King’s “Integrated Bus Suggestions” document for African Americans that he drafted a year after the U.S. Supreme Court ordered buses desegregated. “According to your own ability and personality, do not be afraid to experiment with new and creative techniques for achieving reconciliation and social change.” Stoney said, “Dr. King’s example reminds me of the need to be steadfast – to always try to do the right thing – even when it is the hard thing. That is my commitment. So, I would ask you to ask yourselves today, what is yours? Will you speak up and speak out when you see something that needs to be

loving neighbors that we would if someone got hurt by a cow, and we went and did their work for them? Look what a difference we could make. If we save just one farmer’s family from being destroyed by this, it’s well worth the effort they are putting into this.”

MECHANICSVILLE – Karolyn Mundy is seeing her dream come true with the Red Rooster Country Store at 9582 Chamberlayne Rd. in Mechanicsville. A grand opening is scheduled Saturday, Jan. 27, with drawings, live music and food samples. The business opened on Dec. 6 and, Mundy said, has enjoyed a great response from the community. Her goal is to provide a nostalgic and “everybody knows your name” atmosphere. “It was something that I’ve always wanted to do; my family has always been in the ice cream business,” Mundy said. A native of the small town of New Enterprise, Pennsylvania, her grandfather started a business known as Detwiler’s Golden Rule Dairy. “After years of having the farm, its popularity exploded across the surrounding counties of Pennsylvania,” Mundy said. The opening of a store followed, with the family selling all of their products and offering delivery service. Galliker’s Dairy bought Golden Rule from the Detwilers. Galliker’s remains successful business. “We use the very same dairy mix from Golden Rule and Galliker’s to make our delicious ice cream and milkshakes,” Mundy added.

Referring to “a simpler time” with her country store, Mundy said there have been many customers come up to the counter, saying, “I didn’t know they still made this;” “I remember getting these as a child, haven’t had them since I was young.” “I love hearing all the stories,” she said. Mundy said, “I am so grateful for my family and handful of unselfish friends that have spent countless hours painting, cleaning, packing, building shelves, traipsing across several states getting product and stocking. Without each of them this endeavor could have never happened.

two-term representative to his second term as chairman of The Hanover County Board of Supervisors. “The new position is keeping me busy,” Davis said in an interview last week. “We have a lot of important matters to deal with.

“I had so much fun doing this. I was a little nervous to be on camera at first but Kyle, Rachel and the ‘House Hunters’ crew made it very easy and a lot of fun!” Hunt added. Hunt was born and raised in Mechanicsville. “I love it here.” He noted that Kyle also is from Mechanicsville, “where his fam-
that you have to be humble, but you also have to be direct and honest.” The 44-year-old realtor is taking a second turn wielding the gavel, and said he’s excited about the upcoming year. Davis said he would depend on the expertise of his colleagues, an involved citizenry and a wealth of public officials to achieve important county goals. The new chairman adheres to an administrative style that depends on committee involve-
ment and said important policy decisions often emulate from the work preformed at that level. “That’s where the heavy lifting is really done,” Davis said. “That’s also where a lot of the citizen’s engagement, an important element that enhances the process, takes place.” For example, Davis pointed to a change in policy that allowed board meetings to be livestreamed, an idea that evolved from citizen input at a

They make their home in Mechanicsville – about a mile
from where he grew up -- with their three sons. He said he and his wife “love raising them here.” Terri’s family moved to Mechanicsville from Pennsylvania in 1992.

citizenry, a partnership that has resulted in national recognition for Hines and his department regarding low crime rates and other safe community efforts. “It all begins with a safe community,” Davis said. “Public safety is paramount to a vital and thriving community. You need to have strong interaction with your law enforcement and public safety personnel. People in Hanover want to see sheriff ’s deputies riding up and down the roads, or fire or EMS personnel in the neighborhoods and working with the community.” Sheriff ’s deputies and Fire/ EMS are often the first to respond in emergency situations in the community, and Davis said a trust with the community is vital to the county’s public safety success. While Davis is totally supportive of new businesses locating to the county, he’s equally concerned regarding the firms already located in Hanover and making sure they have the tools they need to succeed and expand. “I think it’s important to work with these current businesses already operating in Hanover County. First and foremost, I think of those existing businesses because they have
already made an investment in the county.” Regarding education, Davis strongly supports a current fiveyear technology plan designed to upgrade infrastructure and provide teacher and student
board committed to funding the upgrades.” The technology plan also reflects Davis’ views on education funding. He describes himself as a strong supporter of dollars being spent on classroom

devices in upcoming years. “It’s a well thought out plan,” Davis said. “Dr. [Michael] Gill (superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools) added that to his initiatives and the
instruction to the benefit of all children who attend Hanover schools. “Education is a broad subject, but when I think education, I think classroom spend-
ing,” Davis said. “It’s important to focus on classroom funding because that’s where the impact is really felt. Every dollar spent in education needs to have a direct correlation to a betterment in the education of the individual student.” Addressing an increased local funding component in this year’s proposed school budget and the increased dollars provided by local taxpayers, Davis was short and concise. “Who else is going to make up that difference?” Davis admits there are no easy answers when it comes to funding the county’s secondary roads, but he does believe the solution lies in the ability of localities to provide dollars for those initiatives. “The reality is that we are going to have to find a way to fix the problem at a local level when it comes to secondary roads,” Davis said. “I encourage all board members to look at real solutions that we can implement at the local level. I believe that’s the only place this problem can be fixed at this point. I don’t foresee, and I don’t think there is any reasonable expectation that there is going to be a mass restoration of funds in the state budget for
secondary roads,” he added. The new chairman also is planning to form a commission to begin preparations for the 300th anniversary of Hanover County in 2020. Davis said he’s envisioning a year-long celebration with educational, recreational and festival type events throughout the 12-month celebration. “We want to showcase our county – our history, our accomplishment and our people,” Davis said. “I think the celebration will have a huge impact and will involve everyone in the county.” But for now, Davis is patiently waiting for a final state budget, weighing local options and adhering to a personal policy that focuses on results rather that political cover. “We’re here to make decisions, not only the easy ones but the ones that require more work and are not easy,” Davis said. The father of three said he would be guided by a philosophy that hasn’t failed him up to this point. “I want to be clear. My role is to focus on sound policy and advance the issues that citizens bring to me,” Davis said. “That’s what I’ve always done and will continue to do. My agenda is the citizens’ agenda.”

Patriots hang on for OT win over Hawks By Jonathan Howard For the Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – Last time the Patrick Henry boys basketball team held a large lead against Hanover, the Patriots were unable to hold on and the Hawks walked away victorious. On Friday night, head coach Randy Anderson’s team proved able to finish the job. Patrick Henry (3-10) led by as many as 23 points in the second quarter before Hanover (1-11) stormed back to force overtime. The Patriots finished the job in the extra session, defending home court with a 77-75 victory. “I told my guys that [the Hawks] weren’t going to quit,” Anderson said. “Most importantly, we knew what was at stake. For us to not practice or not be at school for two days, to come out to do that tonight and show guts, I’ll take it.” The Patriots began pulling away from the Hawks in the first quarter when a Rory Ailor’s 3-pointer sparked a 9-0 run. With a nine-point advantage heading into the second quarter, the attention flipped to Devyn Coles. The senior guard scored 23 of his gamehigh 33 points in the second half, including 18 in the second quarter. He knocked down all five of his 3-pointers in the frame and helped lead a stifling defensive effort to balloon the

“Coach told me,’ Devyn this is your game, just do what you do best.’ I told him I’ve got him and I’m going to provide for my team,” Coles said. At halftime, Anderson told
his team to expect Hanover to up the slack. Meanwhile, Hanover began fight back, and that is exactly what the visitors did.

Carroll LaHaye is relieved. Now everyone can focus on the next game coming up. The Randolph-Macon head women’s basketball coach began this season 13 games short of a career milestone – her 600th win. LaHaye was concerned for the effect of the milestone watch on her players, but she needn’t have worried. Her team responded to the challenge with a hard-fought a 71-59 win over Lynchburg Saturday. “I’m glad it’s over,” LaHaye said. “You know, everybody says what a great accomplishment it is. ... But I didn’t do anything. Al those wonderful, wonderful payers I had through the years did all the work and now I get to reap the benefits.” LaHaye, in her 36th season as head coach of the Yellow Jacket women, is just the 59th coach across all NCAA divisions to reach the milestone.

Atlee boys, girls earn sweep of Confederates By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor
Dave Lawrence/The Local
Atlee’s Jackson Baitinger (22) goes up for two points in the Raiders’ 59-48 victory over visiting Lee-Davis Friday night.
MECHANICSVILLE – Despite giving up 20 points to Lee-Davis in the fourth quarter Friday night, Atlee’s boys avoided a fate suffered by Hanover on its home court the previous week: They held on to defeat their crosstown rivals. The Raider defense held the Confederates to just three points in the third quarter, and that third quarter proved pivotal in Atlee earning a 59-48 win. Lee-Davis’ swoon actually began with a couple of minutes left in the first half. Atlee’s malleable defense played a key role in stalling the Confederate offense out. “We did go one-three-one a few times and got a trap in the corner, got a turnover and got a steal,” said Atlee head coach Rally Axselle. He said they made another adjustment at halftime. “We told them to wake up and identify the guys who were making all the shots instead of leaving them wide open,” Axselle said. “I said, ‘Guys, [Avery Fusco] and … [Devin Christian] hit all the shots. Will you please get out on them?’ ” The adjustments worked.
Fusco was the only Confederate who reached double figures with 12 points – all from 3-point range. Christian, who scored six points on a pair of 3-point goals in the second quarter, managed only three points in the second half. Lee-Davis head coach Chad Bishop noticed the effect of Atlee’s defensive adjustments, but said his team helped the Raiders out. “Three turnovers in the last two minutes of the second quarter, but still, you’re down six. Who cares?” Bishop said. “But come out in the third quarter, zero intensity defensively. Just letting guys catch the ball, letting guys run free, never speaking on a screen – you know, you’re not going to do well.” Atlee was led by Tyler Warren with 15 points and Jayce Catterton with 12. Atlee’s girls set the Raiders up for a doubleheader sweep with a 52-19 win over the Confederates in the evening’s opener. Aya Youssef paced the Raiders with 12 points, while Kelly Ayer added 10. Codie Heilig led Lee-Davis with a game-high 11 points. Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.
Randolph-Macon shuts down Tigers By Adam Culler Richmond Times-Dispatch ASHLAND — Riding a sixgame winning streak entering Thursday’s game against lowly Hampden-Sydney, it would have been easy for RandolphMacon to look past its rival with eyes instead on its weekend game against fellow Old Dominion Athletic Conferenceunbeaten Emory & Henry. Despite trading leads early

with the Tigers, the Yellow Jackets stayed on track, throttling Hampden-Sydney 81-50 at Crenshaw Gym to improve to 13-3 and 7-0 in the ODAC, setting up a game for first place against the Wasps Saturday at Emory & Henry. “I don’t know that we’ve had a trap game all year. I mean, we still haven’t done anything,” said Macon head coach Josh Merkel of the circumstances surrounding Thursday’s game.
The Mechanicsville Local
January 24, 2018
“There shouldn’t be any trap games because it’s always about the next game, the next play, showing what we’re capable of and maximizing the opportunity, and that’s what tonight was. It was another opportunity to play together, play better and improve.” The Yellow Jackets were led by Montese Adams’ game-high 15 points. Buzz Anthony energized the offense with 10 assists to inspire a season-best assist-
to-turnover ratio with 23 helpers and six turnovers. Adams ranks second in scoring for Randolph-Macon on the season, and Anthony ranks fourth. But in ODAC play, Adams and Anthony have both stepped up to become the top scorers in conference play, scoring 15 and 12 points a night, respectively.

After slowly working their way back in over the first few minutes of the third quarter, the Hawks went on a 14-0 run starting with two minutes remaining in the period that included four 3-pointers. Two came from Cole Wallace, including one that gave Hanover a one-point lead with just under seven minutes remaining in regulation. Once Hanover took the lead, both teams appeared poised to close out the game for a win. Patrick Henry responded to the Hawks run with a 13-3 spurt of its own, resulting in a 65-58 lead with 4:03 remaining. Not to be out-done, Hanover responded with a 15-3 run to take a 73-68 lead with 35 seconds to play. Faced with the late deficit,

more confidence — having success and more success leads to more [confidence],” said Merkel. Anthony finished with 11 points to compliment Adams’ team-high total, and his timely passes unlocked the outside shooting of Adams and Corey Bay, with Bays and Adams combining to knock down 7 of 9 shots from behind the 3-point line. “Just trusting the process in practice,” Adams said of his hot start in ODAC play, shooting 57 percent from the floor. “I try to get game reps in practice and (those shots) show up in the game. ... I just try to take the right ones, and the ones that I practice on. They go in for me.” Their short turnaround in the lead-in to Saturday’s game against Emory & Henry – because the Hampden-Sydney game was delayed 24 hours because of the weather – was no help as they tried to extend their winning streak with a key game

Anderson said his team did not panic. “For the first time all season I saw calmness amongst all of them in the huddle. I saw my leaders, the captains, talking,” Anderson said. “From day one I told them, when we get to the point where you guys are talking, seeing stuff on the floor and communicating, everything was going to change. When we were in those time outs everyone was calm.” Patrick Henry drew back within two points with a Josh Shelton 3-pointer with 25 seconds to play, then tied the game after forcing a turnover. Tysen Brown rebounded a missed shot under the basket, made the put back to tie the game and was fouled, but was unable to convert the free throw. Hanover’s Jaylin Ross had a chance for the win, but his floater was off
the mark. Neither team found offensive consistency in the overtime period, but the Patriots would do just enough. Brown and Coles both hit a free throw while Jamel Jackson knocked down a pair – besting one basket by Ross to give the home team the victory. Jackson added 17 points for the Patriots while Brown had 11. D.J. Sims led Hanover with 14 points while Will Fahed scored 12 and Wallace and Ross each scored 11. In the opener of the evening’s doubleheader, Hanover’s girls used a dominant post game early and lethal 3-point shooting late to take a 59-48 road victory over Patrick Henry. Six-foot-one-inch center Sarah Johnson scored 18 points for the Hawks, including 12 in the first half. Her ability to score
underneath forced the Patriots to change defensive philosophy. Hanover would take advantage by knocking down four of its seven 3-pointers in the third quarter. “They’re a good team, so if you focus on (Johnson) they’re going to shoot a 3. If you protect the 3-point line they’re going to dump it down to her and they’ve got girls who can drive and are athletic,” said Patrick Henry coach Phillip Cobb. “It’s a challenge. You can’t leave anyone for too long or they’re going to make you pay for it.” The county rivals played a close, physical first half with the Hawks holding a 30-25 advantage at halftime. Johnson was countered by the Patriots’ Jabryah Haverkamp, who scored a game-high 24 points. Haverkamp was assisted by Ava Smith, who provided 13 points
and several rebounds and Saxon Radcliffe, who chipped in six points. But in the second half, when Patrick Henry attempted to clamp down on Johnson, the Hanover shooters got to work. Shelby Walker and Rachael Metzger began the second half by knocking down a pair of 3-pointers and Madison Miller added a pair later in the quarter to open up the lead to double digits. “Getting it inside in the first half opened up the 3-pointer in the second half, and luckily we made a few that opened it back up inside,” said Hanover head coach Mike Rohr. “That was the game plan to be patient, and I think we did a good job for the most part taking care of the ball.” Miller would finish with 15 points for Hanover while

The Wasps snapped a 15-game Randolph-Macon winning streak against them with a dominant first half, taking a 38-24 lead. The Yellow Jackets outscored Emory & Henry in the second half, but could not erase the first-half deficit. Adams and Daniel Noe each scored 17 points in the loss to the Wasps.
