New MRMC CEO: role like coming home

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor

M

ECHANICSVILLE – Being named CEO of Bon Secours Memorial Regional Medical Center is like coming home for Leigh Sewell. Her grandparents’ home of 45 years was on Meadowbridge Road.

“I spent my whole life traveling to Meadowbridge Road, and I remember the field that became the medical park and then it became the campus today. I feel drawn to Memorial Regional,” she said Thursday.

She also noted that her mother grew up in Mechanicsville and graduated from Lee-Davis High School.

In addition to MRMC, Sewell, who has been serving as the senior vice presi-

dent of Strategic Operations for Bon Secours Virginia, also assumes the role of CEO of Bon Secours Richmond Community Hospital and Bon Secours Memorial College of Nursing today (Wednesday, Sept. 5).

She said the transition is “going great.” She and outgoing CEO Mark Gordon “have worked closely together as members of Toni Ardabell’s leadership team for a couple of years.” She also said, “We have worked closely to ensure that we have a seamless transition.”

Gordon’s last day is today.

“I’ve been at Memorial almost every day for the last few weeks,” Sewell said, “and I really look forward to building on the camaraderie Mark and my predecessors created see MRMC, pg. 4 

Fire marshal’s office: Don’t park in marked fire lanes Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com HANOVER – Capt. K.H. Hartle Jr., deputy fire marshal, has issued a statement concerning fire lane enforcement with the start of a new school year.

“As we enter a new school year, the Hanover Office of the Fire Marshal would like to remind you that parking in marked fire lanes is prohibited and is a citable offense. We understand that fire lanes may be convenient for parking; however, it is important that these areas remain clear of any obstructions (e.g., parked vehicles and pedestrians) that may hamper first responders’ ability to quickly access schools during an emergency.”

According to Hartle, the fire marshal’s office is primarily responsible for enforcing the county’s ordinance regarding vehicles parked in fire lanes and blocking fire hydrants/fire department connections.

“We encourage all Hanover County Public Schools visitors to please take notice of the locations of fire lanes, fire hydrants, and fire department connections to ensure they are not parked in or obstructing these locations,” he said. “If an unoccupied vehicle is found parked in or obstructing these areas, then a citation may be issued by a representative of the Office of the Fire Marshal. If an occupied vehicle is found parked in or obstructing these areas, the owner/ driver will be asked to relocate to an appropriate location. Please note that a citation for these violations may result in a $100 fine that can be prepaid or $150 fine if contested and convicted in court.”

Hartle also included the specific sections of the county’s ordinance that are applicable to fire lanes, fire hydrants, and fire department connections.

HCPS using Raptor Visitor Management System this year ASHLAND -- Hanover County Public Schools (HCPS) is using the Raptor Visitor Management System in all of its buildings this year as part of the system’s ongoing commitment to enhancing the safety of students, faculty and staff.

This new addition allows staff to know who is in the building at all times, such as volunteers, contractors and other visitors, which is essential to maintaining a safe and secure environment.

Upon entering the building, all visitors are being asked to present a valid state-issued ID, such as a driver’s license, which will be scanned

The Raptor system only scans the visitor's name, date of birth, and photo for comparison against this database. It does not collect any additional data from the visitor’s state-issued ID (e.g. driver’s license number) and is not connected to any other system, such as the Department of Motor Vehicles.

Once entry is approved, the Raptor system will issue a badge that identifies the visitor

20th anniversary, Sewell said they are already looking to the 25th.

“We really launched the [20th] celebration a few months ago. We have activities scheduled for the rest of the year to continue to commemorate the 20th anniversary of Memorial.” She also they were being “proactive, thinking about what we may do in five years to commeorate the 25th anniversary, which is seen as more special.”

Michael Robinson was the CEO at MRMC before Gordon arrived. He described the hospital as a destination location. Sewell agrees with that assessment.

“Memorial is unique in that the area is really widespread -- from points as far north as Fredericksburg toward the Northern Neck, obviously Mechanicsville and Hanover County, but then east to New Kent and Williamsburg. We are really the only comprehensive acute care facility in Hanover County, and we have a very large patient population,” she added.

Sewell said she plans to be very involved in the community, having been with Bon Secours about 12 years, the first four at Memorial.

She said the hospital system has “worked hard across

Bon Secours Richmond to build strong relationships with our commuity leaders in Hanover, Henrico, Chesterfield [counties] and the City of Richmond.”

The leadership of Hanover County is supportive of MRMC, Sewell said, and understands the health care needs of the community.

She doesn’t hesitate when asked what the strongest asset is at Memorial, saying, “our physicians and our employees.

We have very, very strong specialists who have practiced at this campous for years, and the collaboration with our employees, especially the nursing staff, is phenomenal.

Their ommitment to delivering excellent patient care is unlike anything I’ve ever seen.

Sewell said the hospital functions “like a family.”

As she takes the reins of Memorial, she said she wants “to understand our successes and the needs of the community. I’d like to hear from the staff, the nurses, the physicians.” She said is interested in “where they feel our needs are so that we can fill any gaps that we have and meet the needs.”

During her first 90 days, Sewell said she will be on a listening tour, which will

OPINION | The Local Views From the managing editor

Hero is a word that should be reserved for those who merit it

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor Describing someone as a hero seems to have been bandied about too often in recent years. Being a role model, in my opinion, doesn’t necessarily qualify an individual as a hero.

On Saturday, Aug. 25, a man who exemplified a hero in every aspect of the word lost his battle with brain cancer. John McCain was a hero, a patriot, a veteran and a true American.

He embodied what we all should strive for in our day-to-day lives.

Whether you agreed with his politics isn’t the issue, you knew he would stand up for what he believed in and represent the people of Arizona and the United States to the best of his ability.

McCain, a Republican, crossed the aisle and worked with his Democratic colleagues for the betterment of the people of this country.

We mustn’t forget -- and it was mentioned many times in the days following his death -- about the horrors of war that he experienced first-hand as a prisoner of war for 5 1/2 years in Vietnam.

The fact that he served, following in the

footsteps of his father and grandfather, showed the character of the military man.

I don’t know that we can fathom what he went through during that time. He was tortured and placed in solitary confinement.

Despite that nightmarish time in his life, McCain returned to his beloved America and continued to devote himself to service.

He proved time and again what a man of honor is in his statements and behavior.

He was a class act in every sense.

A video making the rounds after he succumbed to the cancer showed him disagreeing with a woman during a political campaign.

She insisted Barack Obama was an Arab.

McCain, in a gentlemanly fashion, disputed her and praised the man who was at the time his fellow U.S. senator.

I remain saddened by the loss -- almost feeling as if I knew him.

He epitomized a man of the people and one you could trust.

Our nation is at a loss without McCain and we can only pray that the example he set will inspire others.

He was and will remain a true hero.

Our country was a better place with his leadership. John McCain will be missed.

Search is on: What has happened to the Breakfast of Champions?

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist I’m a sucker for a good mystery, but, when it hits too close to home, finding an answer seems almost critical.

Last week, I strolled the cereal aisle of my local supermarket searching for a familiar orange box with an athlete on the front. Now, advancing age has taught me not to trust my first attempt at searching for anything. Countless searches have ended by moving a napkin and finding the

item I’ve been searching for an ample amount of wasted time.

So, I double-checked the rows of cereal, but had no luck in finding my Wheaties. Well, stores often fail to restock and they must have missed my Breakfast of Champions.

Earlier this week, I accompanied my daughter to another grocery store, another national player, and I immediately headed for the cereal aisle.

Again, no success in a search that now was approaching frantic stage.

Could it be that I had entered the only two stores in the area that didn’t

have any Wheaties? A quick trip to the cereal’s website confirmed I was one among legions who could not find the cereal, but finding an explanation for the shortage was more elusive.

Some posters claimed that General Mills, the parent company, had cut production of Wheaties to beef-up production of their best-selling Cheerios, but no official statement could confirm that theory.

Another possibility that gained footing on the social media page pointed to a nationwide truckers

shortage that had affected distribution.

In what was as close as an official statement as I could locate, the Wheaties social media team responded to inquiries stating there had been some problems, and some stores were experiencing difficulty in obtaining Wheaties.

Finally, on Saturday, Aug. 25, a somewhat official-looking video popped up on the site announcing the Breakfast of Champions was back, coming off the sideline and starting in a store near you. That tidbit left me

really confused as to what had really happened the past weeks to force the shortage.

I’m not sure what to make of any of it.

But I can empathize with the many posters that lamented the lack of a morning tradition in many households. There were numerous posts claiming a 50-year relationship with the tiny morsels.

I suppose there are many products that are generationally tied to a certain age group, but further investigation enlightened me to the fact that the popular cereal is not only popular with senior citizens but also has a new generation of devotees.

One woman lamented her 5-yearold cries when she returns home from the store without the wheat morsels.

Founded in 1924 as Washburn’s Gold Medal Whole Wheat Flakes, company officials decided a year later that shorter was actually better when it comes to marketing and the name was changed to Wheaties. The iconic box has featured major athletes see CHAMPIONS, pg. 7

like Tiger Woods and Michael Jordan.

In recent years, the once cereal aisle champion has experienced declining sales, so, when the shortage struck, many predicted the cereal had finally succumbed to changing market preferences.

One headline read “Is Wheaties dying a slow death?”

Many think the shortage is just a preamble to an impending fate.

It became apparent this mystery was going to require some serious legwork and investigation, so I set off to find the elusive box of cereal.

Lo and behold, I found the long-absent box at a local grocery store with the same familiar look. But, I didn’t recognize an aging basketball player on the cover, someone called Uncle Drew.

I was excited regarding my find, and headed to the checkout with my single purchase.

“That’s $6.28,” the clerk said.

Now, I’m not one who will

drive a mile to save a dime, but the price did seem a bit exaggerated. The sticker shock

didn’t last long, and I figured the extra $2 was worth it.

As for the mystery, it remains unsolved and I honestly can’t tell you why Wheaties disappeared for those six weeks.

But, I can tell you that absence does make the heart grow fonder, especially topped with some yummy bananas.

Sapp replaces Ruth as Park Service superintendent Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com PHILADELPHIA — National Park Service (NPS) Northeast Regional Director Gay Vietzke has named Doyle Sapp as the next superintendent of Richmond National Battlefield Park and Maggie L. Walker National Historic Site in Richmond. He succeeds Dave Ruth, who retired at the end of 2017.

Sapp currently serves as superintendent of Guilford Courthouse National Military Park in North Carolina.

“Doyle Sapp has the experience of running distinct, com-

plex Civil War and military history parks,” said Vietzke.

“He knows how to give the exceptional parks in Richmond the attention and care that they both richly deserve, so that they can reflect the stories of our nation.”

“These special places, the focal point of the Civil War and the home of a pioneer for advancement and progress, are enduring symbols of struggle, hope, pride, courage, and triumph — all universal themes in the complete American story,” said Sapp. “I’ve had the good fortune of spending the greatest amount of time in my

NPS career in Virginia. Its rich history and friendly people have drawn me back time and again. I am looking forward to working with both staff and partners to build upon their strong foundation.”

Sapp, a 25-year NPS employee, led two parks in the summer of 2017: Fort Sumter National Monument and Charles Pinckney National Historic Site in South Carolina. He previously served as superintendent at Horseshoe Bend National Military Park in Alabama.

He served as a police officer in his hometown of Americus, Georgia, in the 1990s. It

was there he began his NPS career as a seasonal interpretive ranger and co-op student at Andersonville and Jimmy Carter National Historic Sites.

Upon graduating with a bachelor of science in history from Georgia Southwestern State University, he received his first permanent job on the National Mall in 1997. From there, he held various positions at Death Valley National Park, Appomattox Court House National Historical Park, and Castillo de San Marcos National Monument.

Sapp will move to Richmond with his wife Noelle

and their two rescue cats.

In his free time, Sapp enjoys hiking, exploring historic sites, reading, and playing golf.

About: Mosquitoes have been known to transmit several diseases in the U.S., including West Nile Virus, La Crosse Encephalitis, and Eastern Equine Encephalitis. They also has the potential to transmit other diseases, such as Dengue Fever, Chikungunya, and Zika.

The Asian Tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) is one of the most common and widespread mosquitoes in our area.

Compared to some other mosquitoes that thrive near marshes and ponds, the Asian Tiger m o s quito has adapted to human h a bit at s and lays its eggs in containers of standing water (for example: tires, t r a s h cans, flower pots, rain gutters, and bird baths).

Protect & Prevent: Prevent

mosquito bites by remembering to tip, toss and cover! Once a week, tip or drain standing water from containers around your home that are possible breeding sites for mosquitoes and scrub birdbaths and pets’ water bowls. Toss outdoor items that are no longer being used that collect water (like bottles, buckets, trash, broken appliances, and toys). Cover your skin while outside by wearing long, light-colored clothing, along with shoes and socks. Carefully apply insect repellent according to the label’s directions (some approved active ing re dients are D E E T, Picaridin, Metro Creative Graphics a n d IR3535).

To prevent mosquitoes from entering your home, check for and repair damaged screens on

windows and doors.

If You Get Bit: Most people bit by an infected mosquito will have no symptoms or just mild symptoms. Occasionally, an infected person may develop more serious symptoms (e.g., fever, headache, nausea, vomiting, mental status changes).

If you become sick, it is important to inform your healthcare provider of your symptoms and share any insect bite history as well as your travel history. Also, prior to a trip outside of the continental U.S., do your homework and visit the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Travelers’ Health website, which details destination-specific health risks and recommendations: https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/travel.

Ticks

About: Among the many species of ticks in Virginia, three types commonly bite people: Lone Star Tick, Blacklegged Tick (“Deer Tick”), and American Dog Tick. These ticks can spread see HEALTH, pg. 13

diseases like Ehrlichiosis, Anaplasmosis, Lyme Disease, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Rickettsia Parkeri Spotted Fever, Tularemia, Borrelia Miyamotoi, Babesiosis, and Powassan virus.

Join in a fun and friendly book

on the forest floor, and grassy fields/lawns, edges of trails, and tree lines. It’s important to remember that ticks do not only live in the forest -- they can be found in your backyard.

Protect & Prevent: Ticks do not fly or drop out of trees, so protection is done from the ground-up! Cover your skin while outside by wearing long, light-colored clothing, along with shoes and socks. Tuck pants into

socks and shirts into pants to prevent ticks from crawling under the clothes. Carefully apply insect repellent according to the label’s directions and consider treating your clothing with special repellent (permethrin). Perform whole body tick checks by looking closely for them -they may be trying to hitch a ride (check yourself, friends, family, pets, clothes, backpacks, etc.).

If You Get Bit: If you find

a tick attached to your skin, remove it as soon as possible to reduce the chance of disease transmission. Use tweezers to remove the tick. Grasp the tick as close to the skin’s surface as possible. Remove the whole tick by pulling gently without twisting the tweezers. After removal, wash and disinfect the tick bite site with rubbing alcohol or soap and water. If you develop a rash or fever within several weeks of a tick bite, contact your

health care provider and be sure to tell them about your recent bite.

Deputies with the Hanover County Sheriff’s Office will be very visible during with the start of the 2018-2019 year for Hanover County Public Schools.

Deputies will be actively enforcing all laws pertaining to

school zone and bus safety. As a result, motorists are remind-

ed that:

School zone speed limits are reduced when the yellow lights are flashing.

Bus safety: Yellow flashing lights indicate that the bus is preparing to stop to load or unload children. Motorists should slow down and prepare to stop their vehicles.

Red flashing lights and extended stop arms indicate that the bus has stopped and that children are getting on

or off. Motorists must stop their cars and wait until the red lights stop flashing, the extended stop sign is withdrawn, and the bus begins moving.

Drivers are required to stop for a school bus when they are headed towards it even when approaching from a cross street.

Drivers are not required to stop when approaching a stopped school bus when the roadways of the driver and the school bus are divided by a

physical barrier or an unpaved area.

“Please join us in our efforts to ensure this school year is safe for everyone,” Hines added.

Beazley leaves legacy with AHA support MONTPELIER -- Carol Beazley, former physical education teacher at South Anna Elementary School, is leaving behind a legacy.

Beazley, who retired at the end of the 2017-2018 school year, taught for 32 years.

During 22 of those years, she engaged her students with the American Heart Association’s youth programs such as Jump Rope for Heart and helped to raise over $200,000 for the association’s life-saving research and programs.

For her outstanding service, the American Heart Association recently presented her with a Lifetime Achievement award.

“Jump Rope for Heart is a wonderful educational program for the kids and the community, but it is so much more

“At our school,” she continued, “everyone participated in heart-healthy activities.”

“The program also teaches students that if everyone does a little bit, you can really accomplish a lot as a whole and make a much larger imprint.,” Beazley added.

Beazley’s work with the American Heart Association’s youth programs will live on through her daughter, Austin Powell, a physical education teacher at Cool Spring Elementary School in Mechanicsville.

Golf tourney to raise funds for MS Society Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE – The Inaugural “18 To End MS” Dana Nelson Memorial Tournament will be held on Wednesday, Oct. 3, at Hunting Hawk Golf Club 2018 to benefit the National MS Society.

The tournament is hosted by the BikeMS team Team Nelson.

Inspired by Dana Nelson, who battled primary progressive Multiple Sclerosis for 20 years, family and friends joined together to form the Bike MS Team Nelson cycling team in 2014.

Led by Dana’s daughters, Heather Nelson and Stephanie Russell, Team Nelson has cycled a combined 7,350 miles in Bike MS fundraising rides and raised more than $70,000 for the National MS Society.

“It’s a cause near and dear to our family and the funds are going to critical research,” said event organizer Stephanie Russell. “In fact, the first FDA-approved drug for Primary Progressive MS, the

type of MS my dad had, was just made available last year.

So I know we’re making a difference.”

“Registration is now open and we’re thrilled with the outpouring of support we’re receiving from local sponsors, prize donors and players,” said event organizer Heather Nelson.

Sponsors committed to date include Capital Interior Contractors, South State Bank and The Goddard SchoolAshland.

All proceeds from the 18 To End MS tournament will go directly to the National MS Society to fund groundbreaking research and life-changing programs.

Multiple sclerosis is an unpredictable, often disabling disease of the central

nervous system that disrupts the flow of information within the brain and between the brain and body.

The cause of MS is still unknown and the progress, severity and specific symptoms of MS in any one person cannot yet be predicted, but advances in research and treatment are leading to better understanding.

Bike MS is the fundraising cycling series of the National MS Society and raises more money than any other cycling event for any other cause.

Last year alone, the National MS Society invested $54 million to advance more than 380 research projects around the world. Through its comprehensive nation-wide network of services, the Society also invested $122.2 million to help more than 1 million individuals affected by MS connect to the people, information and resources needed to live their best lives.

For more information, contact event organizer Heather Nelson at heather. bikems@gmail.com or (312) 316-3966.

Make sure to look out for kids as they are getting on and off the bus!

Enrollment period for Land Use Program open HANOVER -- Hanover County offers a Land Use Taxation Program under which qualified landowners can have their property assessed at “use value,” which may be lower than market value and reduce taxes owed.

The application period for this program began Sept. 1 and extends through Nov. 1, with an additional enrollment period of Jan. 1 to Feb. 1, 2019.

Landowners who have kept their property in agricultural, horticultural, forest or open space uses for at least five years can qualify for the land use program. The minimum qualifying acreages are five acres for agricultural, horticultural and open space and 20 acres for forest use.

Property that has been zoned Rural Conservation (RC) also can qualify for the Land Use program.

If the land use is changed, the tax reduction must be repaid with simple interest for the current tax year and potentially up to the previous five tax years.

In November 2013, the Hanover County Board of Supervisors modified the

program to allow property rezoned for specified, more intense, uses to remain eligible for land use.

Under this change, property rezoned for manufacturing; transportation and warehousing; professional, scientific and technical services; hotels and motels; and professional offices can still be in the land use program. Rollback taxes would not apply until the actual use is changed.

About 3,540 parcels and 152,754 acres are currently enrolled in Hanover County’s Land Use Taxation program.

This represents about 52% of the county’s total acreage. The total tax deferral realized by these property owners is about $5.1 million.

For more information about the Land Use Program or other tax relief programs offered by Hanover County, call the Commissioner of the Revenue at 804-365-6125 or visit the Land Use page for the Commissioner of the Revenue at www.hanovercounty.gov.

A priority is to relocate the College of Nursing to the campus of Memorial. “That’s very, very exciting.”

Looking ahead, Sewell foresees a changing health care landscape.

“Where we’re headed is to move outside the walls of the hospital. A hospital’s priorities can’t be about just what happens inside the walls of the hospital.”

Sewell plans to utilize nurse navigators in the hospuital “to ensure that people are stauing healthy. The hospital will always be here for a higher level of need.”

“We are starting to focus more on a continuum of care.” Prevention also is important to the health care plan.

An emphasis will be on keeping people healtly after an acute episode.

“How do we keep them out of the hospital --that’s really the goal.”

Sewell received a Bachelor’s of Business Administration in Finance from James Madison University and a Master’s in Health Administration from Virginia Commonwealth University.

Raiders go to ground in win at Deep Run

By Daniel Fritz For the Times-Dispatch GLEN ALLEN – The Atlee Raiders leaned heavily on their run game to earn a grind-it-out victory, edging out the Deep Run Wildcats 21-13 in the first game of the season for both teams.

The Raiders amassed 270 total yards on the ground and held on to avenge last year’s opening day loss to the Wildcats.

Atlee running back Isaiah Abel carried most of the workload, rushing for 96 yards on 17 attempts. Abel and the Raiders offensive line delivered the final blow to a tired Wildcats defense, controlling the ball for much of the fourth quarter to close out the game.

“I feel great to be able to get those carries at the end of the game” Abel said. “We trained hard all offseason, and that really helped prepare me for the workload I got tonight.”

On the other side of the ball, the Deep Run offense, led by quarterback Bo Kite, failed to get into a rhythm. Kite did most of the heavy lifting for the Wildcats, but managed only 27 yards on the ground, the same total as running back Matt Johnson.

The Atlee defense held the Wildcats to under 100 total yards for the entire game.

Although the Raiders

Confederates overcome stubborn Godwin

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – LeeDavis’s football team got off to a slow start in its season- and home-opener Friday night, but the Confederates, after falling behind to Mills Godwin by a touchdown early in the game, getting an equalizer just before halftime and scoring the game winner in the fourth quarter in a 14-7 win.

The contest was delayed by a day because prolonged lightning delays – which began as fans began to arrive Thursday night – forced postponement until Friday.

Then, once play began Friday, both teams looked sluggish. While the Eagles got on the scoreboard first on a 14-yard pass from Spencer Rife to Thomas Myer in the first quarter, both teams struggled at times to move the ball effectively, and saw a number of drives stall as a result of penalties.

But the Confederates – ranked No. 10 in the TimesDispatch poll – tied the game with about three minutes left in the half on a 40 yard run by running back Greg Camp.

They went ahead in the fourth on a 15-yard run by running back Josh Rice. Rice came up with a big save late in the quarter, intercepting a Mills Godwin pass about the Lee-Davis 10 to kill a potential Eagle scoring drive.

“We were a little rusty in the season opener,” Rice said. “But we’ll get better form here. It’s all good.”

Rice was not inclined to take too much credit for his gamesaving interception.

“I think it was blown coverage, actually,” he said. “The quarterback just underthrew him a little bit and I just rallied on it.”

Rice felt the one-day delay

kind of deflated the team a little bit.

“We were psyched to play.

It would have been a little bit different game yesterday than it was today. Everyone was pumped up,” he said. “Today we came out a little flat.”

Head coach Ryan Turnage, however, didn’t think the delay had much effect.

“I don’t think it had … anything to do with it. We were ready to go. We were ready to play,” Turnage said. “We just came out and made some mistakes. Penalties hurt us. We had key penalties. We’d have a 10-yard run, then we’d get a block in the back or a holding call – something we can correct.

A lot of guys, it’s their first time playing football. They’re learning, too. They’ve only played two scrimmages and a game. I think we’re going to be fine.”

The Confederates were also playing without a few bangedup players, including quarterback Zach Lass – the coaches weren’t willing to risk making a minor injury a season-spoiling problem.

The big takeaway, as always, was the win.

“We’re 1 and 0. At the end of the day, that’s all we’re really worried about,” Turnage said.

“It wasn’t pretty. We made a lot of mistakes – stuff that we can correct, though. We have a lot of new faces; some injuries, some guys who didn’t play. It’s a testament to our team. We came out and battled.”

Patrick Henry runs away from visiting Cavs

By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – Throughout the preseason, chatter about the 2018 Patrick Henry Patriots centered around junior quarterback Alex Sikkar.

On opening night Friday facing fellow Region 4B member Caroline, Sikkar – unable to jump-start the passing game – unveiled a new level of versatility.

Using superior blocking schemes and surprising speed, Patrick Henry turned an early defensive slugfest into a onesided track meet as Sikkar ran for three touchdowns of 50 or more yards to lead the Patriots to a 51-6 victory over the Cavaliers.

“If you want to see one of the best quarterbacks in Richmond, come to Ashland,” said Patriots head coach Keith Braxton. “The coaching staff did a great job making adjustments, putting him and us in a position to get things done even if one phase of our game isn’t clicking the way we wanted it to.”

Indeed, Patrick Henry couldn’t find the key to start the passing engine, as Sikkar struggled all night to find a rhythm.

Other times, his passes were there, but receivers simply did not catch the ball. But, in the end, it didn’t hurt the Patriots, as from late in the first quarter onward, they found ways to get their offensive line out in space, turn running backs into lead blockers, and Sikkar was the beneficiary.

His first score, on a 53-yard run late in the first period, found him and some of his blockers unchallenged for the first 12 yards.

had practiced where everyone should go in case that happened,” senior kicker Rian Pecci-Young said. “It was supposed to be an extra point.”

The Patriot defense held Caroline to a quick three-andout, then a snap which sailed over the head of punter Gabe Shire was pounced on by Patrick Henry at the Cavalier 9-yard line. Two plays later, Tyler Newell raced untouched up the middle, and it was 23-0.

The Cavaliers tallied their only points just before halftime on a Talen Smith 19-yard run, failing on a 2-point conversion try. Sikkar’s second touchdown scamper, a 56-yard journey, capped the opening drive of the second half. His last score, the longest on a 76-yard run, came just five minutes later to effectively put the game out of reach.

An encore would-be fourth touchdown run was called back due to a penalty.

After drawing few flags in the first half, the Patriots lost some discipline down the stretch, at one time facing a second down and 49 due to a hold and an unsportsmanlike conduct call on the same play. Braxton knows that area of his team’s performance must immediately improve.

“Some lessons are better learned the hard way. Hopefully this is a lesson that they have learned. We have to be better,” Braxton said. “Our level of competition steps up week after week after week. Those kind of mistakes will absolutely bury us later in the season.”

Next up for Patrick Henry is a pair of road trips, first to Glen Allen Friday, then to Nick Liberante for The Local Deep Run.

Hanover keeper chases Olympic soccer dreams

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor Hanover’s Tallulah Miller is a hard-working teenager. She studies hard, of course. She also works hard on the soccer pitch, getting private coaching, playing club soccer as well as earning the job of starting goalkeeper for the Hawks girls soccer team in her freshman year last year. She capped her freshman year by helping the Hawks reach the Virginia High School League state semifinals.

As Miller starts her sophomore year, the youth – still studying hard, and still playing club and scholastic soccer – has set her sights on even loftier goals: she tried out for and made the U.S. Youth Soccer East Region Olympic Development Program player pool.

“It’s incredible to be named for that regional team,” Miller said. “That’s a chance only a few girls get to take, and it’s something that every has to work really hard for. I’m really appreciative that I made that team.”

Her goalkeeping coach, Amanda Forester – owner, founder and head coach of the Richmond Goalkeeping Academy – agrees that it is a big honor.

“It’s a huge deal,” Forester said. “She’s one of five goalkeepers right now from Maine to Virginia that’s going to be playing for this team. The next step from here is to get an invitation to the U.S. National Team Training Camp. Potentially, beyond that, she could be on the U.S. national team if she performs at the level that they’re looking for her to perform at.

It’s a very big deal, big resume builder.”

She has a long way to go to make a U.S. national team – whether for the Olympics or some other competition, but

the program will help her hone her skills as a soccer player in general and in goal in particular. The key is in the guidance Miller will receive, but there’s more benefits as well.

“It’s just really the coaching … professional players, college players, former professional coaches, college coaches, and it’s an opportunity to get scouted on a regular basis,” Forester said. “She gets an opportunity

to play and travel the world.

Some of the teams will go internationally and play England or go to France and play in different tournaments or in friendlies against other teams. So it’s an opportunity to play at a higher level.”

Miller’s coach at Hanover High School, Manny Tavares, expects he’ll see some benefits of the program when she’s on the pitch for the Hawks.

“I think that whole ODP program boosts her confidence,” Tavares said. “I think it’s a long way to go to achieving the status of actually playing for the team. I think it helps them mature – the training that’s involved with the program is tremendous.”

While there are a lot of benefits to the program, Tavares said, there are also costs, especially for a youth who already

works as hard as Miller.

“I do think that it puts a lot of pressure on the kids today,” he said. “Between that program, playing their travel soccer for their soccer clubs and then high school season in the spring as well, it’s demanding. It’s definitely demanding.”

But he also thinks she can handle the demands of the program, school, and her other teams.

“She’s fantastic. She’s an incredible young lady,” Tavares said. “She listens well. She trains hard. There’s nothing that changes in her whatsoever – she trains the same every single time: hard. She plays hard. …

She gets good grades, she trains hard. That’s what you want as a coach.”

Lee-Davis, Atlee golfers top county teams

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MANQUIN – Lee-Davis proved a hospitable host for the Hanover County quad golf match Wednesday, but the Confederates weren’t overly hospitable.

With the help of a 2-overpar 38 by medalist Erik Hoare, Lee-Davis posted a 169, good enough for a share of first place in team standings with Atlee.

The Raiders were led by Jack Miller and Max Berenson, each with a 5-over 41.

Atlee has long been one of the dominant golf teams in the county. Lee-Davis, on the other hand, has had its share of solid players, but it hasn’t often found itself at the top of the team standings. But Confederate head coach Tyler Johnson said at the beginning of the season that his team had the potential Dave Lawrence/The Local to be in the mix by the middle Johnson said. “Erik Hoare shot else was consistent.

throughout the [day]. I think it might have been a while since we finished at the top of the Hanover quad.”

Hoare said the 38 was his best score.

“This will be my best score in a match this year. Actually, in all four years that I’ve played, this is my best score,” he said. “I had two birdies, four pars and just had a really good round.”

The high heat index – more than 100 degrees – made playing conditions challenging.

But Hoare managed to keep his cool, both physically and mentally.

“I drank a lot. I was filling up at every station, would drink an entire water bottle and fill up again,” he said. “Every shot I hit went where I wanted it to.

I couldn’t ask for a better swing.

… I couldn’t see myself doing anything better today.”

Miller and Berenson both found their own ways to keep cool.

“I made a lot of putts from long range and it really kept me going, helped me stay positive all day,” Miller said. “[The heat] was definitely a factor. I had to wipe my hands down every hole, every shot. But you can kind of use that to your advantage … if you can keep your calm and play your shot and play your own game, you’re good.”

Berenson’s approach was similar.

“I just tried to hit good iron shots, just try to take it one shot at a time: hit the ball off the tee, hit a good approach shot and just try to make the putt,”

Berenson said. “I tried to keep my grips dry and tried to stay under the shade as much as possible.”

Patrick Henry’s Jessica Rathbone and Hanover’s Robert Patina finished in a tie for second individually with a 40.

Patina’s teammate, Tanner Yager, tied with Miller and Berenson at 41.

By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local BALTIMORE – In the visitors’ locker room at Homewood Field after losing a first round NCAA Division III playoff game to Johns Hopkins in 2016, Randolph-Macon head coach Pedro Arruza gave a clear message to his underclassmen.

“I told them we would be back in two years, and we would have a barometer on who we are,” Arruza said.

After a half Thursday night in the 2018 season opener with the 19-ranked Blue Jays, the Yellow Jackets returned to that locker room with a 24-21 lead. However, Johns Hopkins transformed themselves in their locker room, returned to the field a different team, and used four consecutive fourth quarter touchdowns to pull away from the Yellow Jackets 63-31.

A game that saw five lead changes in the first half began to tilt in the Blue Jays’ favor thanks to two touchdowns in the first 5:01 of the third quarter, beginning with a seven-play, 70-yard drive that only took 94 seconds. The Randolph-Macon defense, which spent much of the first half on the sideline as the Yellow Jackets dominated time of possession, were given a glimpse of the marathon they were about to endure.

Heat, humidity, and a withering Blue Jay attack awakened by a halftime deficit began to wear down the Yellow Jackets.

They survived the first wave, however, and the offense finally responded in the final minute of the third period on a nineplay, 77-yard drive culminated by senior Eric Hoy’s third touchdown run of the night, a 1-yard plunge to cut the Johns Hopkins lead to 35-31.

The beginning of the end came, however, on the first play of the fourth quarter, as Blue Jay

6-(minus 1), McBride 1-(minus 7). JHU: Irwin 9-81, Messinger 9-52, Tammaro 6-42, Walters 6-12, Leongas 2-9.

RECEIVING R-MC: Redman 8 carries 50 yards, McDonald 2-48, Gill 4-43, Hoy 1-26, Tanner 1-13, Smith 2-11, Hargrove 1-7, Frederick 1-5. JHU: Rogerson 5-120, Fernandez 5-75, Walters 2-53, Yohr 2-52, Hubley 3-41, Wellman 2-34, McFadden 2-20, Aichholz 2-15.

Johns Hopkins University

Randolph-Macon running back Eric Hoy (24) dodges a Johns Hopkins defender in the Yellow Jackets’ 63-31 loss to the 19th-ranked Blue Jays in Baltimore Thursday night.

quarterback David Tammaro, who completed 21-of-33 passes for 349 yards and four touchdowns, tossed the football back to running back Chuck Norgle, who threw across the field to Stuart Walters. Walters broke multiple tackles and finished the 37-yard gadget play at the front right pylon for a touchdown to increase the Johns Hopkins lead to 42-31.

On the ensuing drive, Randolph-Macon quarterback Burke Estes tried to hit receiver Christian Redman on an outside pass on third down. But cornerback Macauley Kilbane, reading a Yellow Jacket go-to route, jumped on the ball and stepped in front of Redman, picking off the pass and racing 34 yards for the pick six which broke the back of the Yellow Jacket comeback attempt.

Johns Hopkins added two final touchdown passes for the winning margin.

Estes completed 18-of-

28 passes for 170 yards and a 1-yard touchdown – to tight end Sean McDonald to complete an impressive 17-play, 75-yard touchdown drive that gave the Yellow Jackets their 24-21 lead just 14 seconds before intermission.

But the Blue Jays bottled up senior tailback Tre Frederick, holding him to just 19 yards in the second half after a 97-yard first-half performance.

The Blue Jays, who won their 39th consecutive regular season home game, overcame a first half where they were held to just 25 offensive plays for 219 yards, earning 211 in the third quarter alone, and a total of 606 on the evening.

Despite the scoreboard’s final message, the level of performance, of execution, by Randolph-Macon against a program that has won nine consecutive Centennial Conference championships and 90 percent of its games over the past five

seasons – fourth best nationally in Division III – was markedly improved.

The Yellow Jackets were within four points after three quarters, a far cry from the jarring 21-0 first-quarter deficit they faced in 2016. RandolphMacon will learn from the experience, and will be ready for Averett in its 2018 home opener this Saturday at 6 p.m.

“We have 25 seniors who are outstanding leaders,” Arruza said, giving credit to Johns Hopkins. “This is one of the best teams, if not the best team, we play all season long.”

The Raiders ground game was the story of the final quarter, though. Running back Tucker Bratton started the fourth with consecutive runs of more than 10 yards.

Abel and Warren would carry most of the load from there. Warren would find the end zone for himself, to add the finishing touches and seal the victory for the Raiders.

Hanover Health & Rehabilitation FSA provides low-interest Center opens doors on new gym Farm Storage Facility Loans Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com RICHMOND – Hanover Health & Rehabilitation Center in Mechanicsville has opened the doors of its new 4,000-square-foot state-of-the-art rehabilitation gym at 8139 Lee Davis Rd. The innovative design of the new space revolutionizes rehabilitation recovery services for patients and continues to highlight the center’s longstanding commitment to the local community.

The AlterG anti-gravity treadmill is one of many new features in the gym space.

This device, designed by NASA, uses advanced unweighting technology that provides support, safety, and stability for patients during rehabilitation.

Traditionally used for professional sports athletes, it also is proven to help stroke and

orthopedic patients.

Elsewhere in the new gym, patients will find the high tech Woodway WalkerView “smart” treadmill, wifi enabled CyberCycles, a HUR iBalance interactive training system, strength and cardiovascular training equipment, a Dynamic Stair Trainer, and more.

Patients seek treatment for medical conditions, including cardiovascular illness, hip or knee replacement, stroke, heart failure, pneumonia, and post-surgical care.

These modern additions are to enhance the patient experience under the hallmark LifeWorks Rehab program.

This project represents a $1 million investment in the Mechanicsville community and the continuation of skilled nursing services.

For more information on pre-registering as a patient, call 804-559-5030 or visit hanoverhealthrehab.com.

By Ken Upshaw County Executive Director FSA’s Farm Storage Facility Loan (FSFL) program provides low-interest financing to producers to build or upgrade storage facilities and to purchase portable (new or used) structures, equipment and storage and handling trucks.

The low-interest funds can be used to build or upgrade permanent facilities to store commodities. Eligible commodities include corn, grain sorghum, rice, soybeans, oats, peanuts, wheat, barley, minor oilseeds harvested as whole grain, pulse crops (lentils, chickpeas and dry peas), hay,

honey, renewable biomass, fruits, nuts and vegetables for cold storage facilities, floriculture, hops, maple sap, rye, milk, cheese, butter, yogurt, meat and poultry (unprocessed), eggs, and aquaculture (excluding systems that maintain live animals through uptake and discharge of water). Qualified facilities include grain bins, hay barns and cold storage facilities for eligible commodities.

Loans up to $50,000 can be secured by a promissory note/ security agreement and loans between $50,000 and $100,000 may require additional security. Loans exceeding $100,000 require additional security.

Producers do not need to demonstrate the lack of commercial credit availability to apply.

The loans are designed to assist a diverse range of farming operations, including small and mid-sized businesses, new farmers, operations supplying local food and farmers markets, nontraditional farm products, and underserved producers.

To learn more about the FSA Farm Storage Facility Loan, visit www.fsa.usda.gov/ pricesupport or contact your local FSA county office. To find your local FSA county office, visit http://offices.usda. gov.
