More than 1,700 items donated in school drive HANOVER -- Thanks to the generosity of the Hanover County community, many local students started school this year with the tools they need to succeed.

The Hanover Youth Service Council’s (HYSC) 19th annual school supply drive collected over 11,700 school supplies in addition to 15 pre-package school supply kits.

The collected school supplies were distributed to all of Hanover County’s public schools.

Additional supplies also have been provided to nonprofit agencies that serve children in need.

“Just as in past years, the public has been extremely generous in their support of this project,” said Lisa Adkins, administrator for Hanover County Community

ECHANICSVILLE – “It wasn’t an option to die.”

That’s how Mechanicsville resident Denine D’Angelo looks back on her battle with breast cancer.

Last week, the production manager of Richmond Suburban News decided cided to share her story as the nation observes bserves Breast Cancer Awareness Month. nth.

Denine’s sister Lori Russo had fought the disease, “and that’s why I probably was more careful doing breast exams and all of that.”

She had been diligent in going oing for her routine mammogram every year since the age of 40. “I “ never missed one; I went everyy year.”

“I just thought I was going to walk out like all the other ones,” she said about the mammo that revealed she had breast cancer.

The diagnosis came on Nov. 3, 2015. She under-

went surgery on Jan. 7, 2016.

Due to Lori’s history, Denine, who has five children -- two sons and three daughters -- chose to take the BRCA1 gene test, which, to her great relief, came back negative.

“And even though my sister had it, it did not run in the family. The doctor said families sometimes expose themselves to the same environmental ronm n ental things. She said it was environmental.”

She said it was such a relief to know she was not going to pass the cancer on genetically.

“I don’t have that gene.” see CANCER, pg. 3

3 schools get security equipment funds Staff Report news@mechlocal.com RICHMOND — Hanover County Public Schools has received $94,752 in School Security Equipment Grants to protect students and teachers in 102 school divisions and the Virginia School for the Deaf and Blind.

John M. Gandy Elementary School, Oak Knoll Middle School and Pearson’s Corner Elementary School will share in the award from Gov. Ralph Northam./ Northam announced a total of $6 million in grants on Thursday, Oct. 4.

The grants will pay for video monitoring systems, metal detectors, classroom

locks, electronic-access controls, visitoridentification systems, direct communications links between schools and law enforcement agencies, and other security upgrades in 443 schools and other instructional facilities.

“Since its inception in 2013, the school security equipment grant program has funded nearly 2,900 new projects and system upgrades to ensure the safety Virginia students and educators,” said Northam.

“These grants are a key component of the Commonwealth’s comprehensive approach to protecting schools.”

The criteria for making the awards — developed by the Virginia Department of

Education and the state Department of Criminal Justice Services — give priority to schools most in need of modern security equipment, schools with relatively high numbers of offenses, schools with equipment needs identified by a school security audit, and schools in divisions least able to afford security upgrades.

“Student safety is always the number one priority of the educators and support personnel in our schools,” said Superintendent of Public Instruction James Lane. “These grants allow schools to purchase the improvements and technology needed to address the findings of annual security audits.”

When she first learned she had breast cancer, it was diagnosed as Stage 1.

“I was told that I would not need chemo[therapy] because it was small what they had found in November. By the time I had the operation in January, it had spread to my lymph nodes.”

She recalls in great detail the day she learned about the cancer. “In the beginning, when I got that mammogram, and then I had to go into a room. Everybody has to do that when they are reading their mammogram and making sure it’s OK so they can go home -- or you have cancer.

They made me sit in this room; I was worried because I’d never had to go sit in the room before so they must have seen something before.”

Denine was taken into a room where a radiologist performed another test. That result changed her world as she knew it.

“During that test the doctor said to me. ‘Get used to the idea that you have breast cancer.’ I didn’t get used to it because it was shocking.

But they didn’t know for sure because I had to have a biopsy; I went the next day and got the biopsy. Then I got a phone call the next day saying I had breast cancer. A radiologist called me and told me to come in and discuss it with him.”

At that point, Denine expected, based on conversations with the surgeon, she would only have to undergo radiation, because she was Stage 1.

As she prepared to start the journey to defeat cancer, Denine said she was fortunate to have a nurse who was a breast cancer survivor. The nurse helped her through the process by telling her what to expect.”

With the diagnosis, she went to a surgeon who suggested she wait until after the holidays.

In addition to removing the cancer, it was recommended that Denine undergo breast reduction. The surgeon said she would be a good candidate, and more tissue could be examined on both breasts.

“I thought, ‘Yes, that would be great.’ ” She did agree and had

the breast reduction done.

The delay was recommended since two surgeons would be coordinating on the procedures. The cosmetic surgeon wouldn’t be available until January.

She was going to have breast reduction and a lumpectomy to remove “a very tiny mass about the size of a dime. It wasn’t spreading on my right side.”

From November to January, the cancer had gone from Stage 1 to Stage 3B, “so it had spread to my lymph nodes, which is what we found out in the operation.

They didn’t know that before they went in. I went in still thinking they were going to take out this little dime size [mass] and then he (the

surgeon) was shocked – so was my family. It didn’t break me, but I was worried for my accident with damages, $500, in he 9500 block of Chamberlayne Road, Mechanicsville.

The next step for Denine involved chemo and radiation.

She started two rounds of chemo on July 15, 2016. One was with two medications and the second with one. She had 22 radiation treatments from Aug. 19 to Sept. 16, 2016.

Denine remained determined throughout her ordeal.

She would undergo chemo on Thursdays, so that she could deal with any side effects over the weekends. She did not miss work during her battle with breast cancer.

Denine is fine sharing her story and has been an inspiration and support system for others. A good friend is now battling breast cancer. Helping others, she said, isn’t difficult “because I’ve come through it and I feel great. It was also good to hear other people tell me when I was going through cancer treatment. Anytime somebody told me they were a survivor I felt hope for me. It was so helpful to hear that.”

Christine Ward has again been named to the President’s List at the University of South Carolina during her final semester before graduation with a grade point average (GPA) of 4.0. She is now enrolled in her first semester of law school at Washington and Lee University Law School.

The National Day of Service for the Daughters of the American Revolution is Thursday, Oct. 11. As a member of the Scotchtown Chapter, the Community Classroom program has been a way to honor those individuals who have chosen education as their life’s work. It has been many years since I was a student, but I think the one teacher that was so instrumental in every aspect of my education was the librarian.

Today a librarian is called a media specialist and the job description is so much more technologically based than when I was in school, but going to the library when I was young was almost a magical experience. How we looked forward to library day and being able to

check out those amazing books that we could take home and spend hours reading.

The ability to read expands your horizon in all aspects of life. Our librarian opened the world to us just by opening a book. We sat in rapt attention around her as she introduced us to new people and places; she fired up our creativity and imagination. There was always something new to learn and I never tired of listening to those wonderful childhood stories that I can now share with my grandchildren. I am still an avid reader who loves to relax with a good book.

The Scotchtown Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution salutes librarians.

Thank you for instilling a love of reading in our children. You truly touch the lives of all children and help them to become life time learners.

Celebrating newspapers and a community bond

By Melody Kinser Managing Editor y mother grew up in a home that subscribed to a morning and afternoon newspaper. That tradition continued when my parents got married. They started and ended their days by keeping up with the news with a product in their hands.

At almost 88, Mom still starts her day with a morning newspaper, the Richmond TimesDispatch. Even though we have the All-Access package, which allows us to keep up with the daily publication online, she must have a newspaper that’s come off a press in her hands. Thankfully, her generation realizes and appreciates the value

M

of the print product.

Last week, my thoughts turned to National Newspaper Week, an observance that kicked off on Sunday and goes through Saturday.

This year’s theme is “Journalism matters: NOW more than ever.”

I’m now in my 44th year in this industry and a dedication to community news and sports coverage remains my top priority. We are fortunate to be well received throughout Hanover County.

Our goal with every edition is to inform you, our readers, with all aspects of news and sports.

If there’s a story tell -- and there always is -- we want you to know we will do our best to ensure it is included within these pages.

Let’s celebrate newspapers and the difference

they make by acknowledging students’ successes, charitable contributions, civic and social organizations, the list goes on.

It is especially gratifying to know that your support creates a successful partnership As a child, I never imagined what an influence those two newspapers in our house would mean to my future.

My career launched at the hometown afternoon paper.

We are proud to be your news and sports source, and thank you for welcoming this newspaper into your homes.

Community -- that’s what it’s all about in our coverage. As I’ve said before, we’re in this together.

Thanks for being part of what we do.

By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist It’s one of the most anticipated moments at any football game — that minute that a team gathers behind a banner ready to explode through the wall of paper and take the field.

It’s no different at home games at Goochland High School. Even from a distance you can feel the energy as the team begins to chant and a quiet murmur becomes a roar shortly before they shred the banner in unison and

charge the field.

It’s a message a team displays that exudes confidence and courage and sends a clear message to the opposing team that the Bulldogs are ready to defend their turf, unafraid of the pending challenge and confident they will emerge victorious.

Needless to say, standing anywhere in front of that banner during this process is not advised.

The banner break sets the tone and fires up the crowd, and has become

Wyatt praised for deferring CUP on historial site I applaud the action of Scott Wyatt, Cold Harbor District supervisor, for his successful request of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors to defer a Conditional Use Permit that would have rezoned property of the most historical significance, the property at Old Cold Harbor, in favor of a proposed recreational park named for former supervisor Elton Wade Sr. Elton Wade was a wonderful person for whom I voted every time he ran for supervisor, and he certainly deserves to be honored, but I know he valued the historical significance of the property in question and would want to preserve it.

As Thomas Gilmore of the American Battlefield Trust noted, “The land in question represents a significant and unique slice of American history,” and he pointed out that he could not think of another site in the United States where two battles, Gaines Mill and Cold Harbor, intersected, noting that “there’s probably no other site in the U.S. where that is the case.” He noted that the Cold Harbor Property was “equivalent in importance to Gettysburg, Antietam, Shiloh, Manassas – all famous sites associated with the [Civil] war . . .”

On Nov. 13, 2017, I wrote to Greg Sager, director of Hanover County Parks & Recreation, following the information reported on the proposed park in the Nov. 8, 2017, Mechanicsville Local, and urged that the historical significance of the property be preserved.

Several years ago, Bob Krick, the historian of the Richmond Battlefield Park told me that the purchase of that property was of top priority for the National Park Service in order to preserve its historical significance. see WYATT, pg. 8

As we prepared for pregame ceremonies last week, I waited to deliver Jack to his assigned position with the team as they prepared to take the field. One of Jack’s teammates walked up to me and said, “Don’t worry about Jack, I’ll take care of him.”

That seemingly small number of words spoke volumes about a team that displays much more than an off-thechart ability to win football games. They protect and care for Jack as if he’s one of them.

They surrounded Jack and strode at his speed onto the field, a show of unity and determination against a disease that they understand, but do not fear.

I won’t forget it. And words cannot express my thanks and appreciation for the Goochland community and the compassion and love they’ve shown regarding Jack and his condition.

SHLAND -- To celebrate the 80th anniversary of Orson Welles’ 1938 broadcast of “The War of the Worlds” this month, the Ashland Players will perform a staged reading of the radio play as the group’s inaugural production.

The production is directed by Amy George Brown and Matteo Pangallo, and features the voice talents of Meriwether Delano Gilmore, Gina McKenzie, Jack Mooney, Don Polaski and Woody Robertson, with sound design and performance by Jason Morris.

“It’s been eight decades since the Mercury-Theateron-the-Air broadcast,” Pangallo said, “but that event still stands out in our national memory as a vivid demonstration of how public

credulity can succumb to compelling, though fabricated, narratives that play on fear and hysteria.”

The radio play, which playwright Howard Koch adapted and updated from the 1897 H. G. Wells novel, aired on CBS on Oct. 30, 1938, and caused a panic

Metro Creative Graphics

among listeners across the country who thought the fictional story of a nearlyapocalyptic Martian invasion of Earth a real news broadcast.

“The Ashland Players’ script is based on the 1938 broadcast,” Pangallo said, see PLAYERS, pg. 17

“but with a few revisions to really bring it home for a Richmond-area audience.”

Performances are scheduled for 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, Oct. 26-27, at Ashland Coffee and Tea at 100 N. Railroad Ave. in Ashland. Tickets are $20 for adults and $12 for children 12 and under and include

If numbers are any indication, the upcoming election is garnering its fair share of enthusiasm and interest.

“I can tell you from the numbers we are experiencing today that it is going to be a big election on Nov. 6,” Smithson said.

Smithson said in-person absentee voting began Sept. 21 and more than 100 people have already taken advantage.

“We’ve already sent out more than 800 absentee ballots to our military overseas and our citizens here or living elsewhere,” Smithson said.

Voter registration ends Oct. 15. “If you need to update or register for the first time, you can do that either online of in our office,” the registrar said.

The last day to request an absentee ballot to be mailed is Oct. 30.

The registrar’s office will open the two Saturdays before the election from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. for in-person absentee voting. “We also have curbside available for anyone not able to come inside and

learn and advocate,” Trivett said.

Ashland won two awards at the recent VML meeting, including the VML Green Government Challenge and recognition for its Healthy Eating Active Living participation.

“These two awards that we have received are certainly largely due to our staff. It’s a team effort — a lot of different people work on all of these things,” Town Manager Josh Farrar said.

He also acknowledged the valuable community connections that make awards like the HEAL recognition special.

“It’s more about the health and activity of the community than things that the government is doing and we are fortunate to have great partners,” Farrar said.

Council member Dan McGraw said the Citizens Broadband Committee met last week and has received input from citizens regarding their vision for the system.

Harrison Samuel Ludwig, the son of Fred C. Bolton and Darla Ludwig Bolton of Glen Allen, has earned the rank of Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America.

A member of Boy Scout Troop 505 of Mechanicsville, he has earned 27 merit badges.

For his Eagle project, Harrison wanted to make improvements to an area where he and his troop had enjoyed over the years. He chose to improve the campfire area for many future campers by dismantling old benches at the Pamunkey Ridge Camp in Hanover County and replacing them with new stained benches.

In August, Harrison returned to Fork Union Military Academy (FUMA) as a high school junior, where he serves as a platoon sergeant assigned to Alpha Company at the rank of staff sergeant.

McGraw said almost every meeting attended at the recent VML conference involved broadband access, a subject that affects almost all areas of local government.

He also said officials from other localities commented on Ashland’s proactive approach to broadband access and expressed interest in using that model in their communities.

Council member Kathy Abbott said the Ashland Theatre Foundation is holding its fundraising event on Oct. 21at the Iron Horse. “It’s going to be a fantastic event, tons of fun, with lots of great food, music and auction items. Tickets are flying, so, if you’re interested, reach out to ashlandtheatre.org,� she said.

I didn’t want to tell people because sometimes you tell people you have cancer and the first thing they think is ‘She’s so nice, she’s going to die.’ They automatically think you’re going to die. I didn’t want those words to ever be there that I was going to die.

I didn’t want any thoughts like that to be out there. I wanted to be positive the whole time. It wasn’t an option to die.”

Denine and husband Bill Coleman were newlyweds at the time. “He was patient; he stepped up, did all the household chores, took Johnny where he needed to go, he did everything.”

In November, Denine became a grandmother and has another grandchild on the way.

“I think that God puts me with people who need my help because I share my story with people that are going through this and that’s what I want to continue to do: be an inspiration. I wanted to be a grandmother; going through the chemo I was thinking ‘I want to be here I want to see my grandchildren.’ That was so important to me.”

Armstrong steps outside to defeat C-feds

By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor RICHMOND – Lee-Davis came off the field at Armstrong in a state of shock Friday night.

In years past, any matchup between the Confederates and the Wildcats could be safely counted as a win for Lee-Davis.

That assumption proved not so safe Friday as Armstrong, which fell behind 14-0 early in the game, quickened its offensive pace and – over the course of final 31 minutes – outran the Confederates for a 34-29 win.

The Lee-Davis loss could not be blamed for a lack of effort. Josh Rice, who left the game early in the second half because of nagging injuries, carried the ball 20 times for 147 yards and a touchdown and he caught a 30-yard pass for another score. Quarterback Zach Lass completed 12-of-18 passes for 111 yards and two touchdowns – but also one devastating interception late in the third quarter.

“We’re playing hard. We haven’t found a way to win the last few weeks,” said Lee-Davis head coach Ryan Turnage.

“We’re making enough mistakes [not] to win, and doing enough good things to keep it close. The last two weeks we’ve come down to the last possession and we’ve come up on the short end.

“Our kids are playing as hard as they can. That’s all we can ask

RUTHER GLEN – Last year, Patrick Henry’s Jessica Rathbone won the Region 4B golf championship. This year, she settled for third, but it was not because of a lesser performance. She bested her region-winning performance from last year by a stroke, shooting an even-par 72 at Mattaponi Springs on Oct. 2.

The 2018 regional champion was Henry Davis of Midlothian, who carded a 2-under 70. Louisa’s Zane Moore was second with a 71. Midlothian claimed the team championship with a 298, followed by Monacan with a 320.

Turnover costly in Raiders’ loss to Henrico the backfield. “[McDaniels] makes my job a whole lot easier because everyone is so scared to get hurt by him that they put seven, eight, nine people in the box, and that leaves people open on the edge,” Jones said of his backfield teammate.

Jones credits McDaniels’ physique (6 feet 1 inch, 225 pounds) and aggressive running style for wearing down defenses and allowing Henrico’s uptempo offense to keep moving.

“That’s what it is. That’s his game. He’s a bruiser,” Jones said.

“He’s [Pittsburgh Steelers running back] Le’Veon Bell out here and nobody wants to hit him.”

By Jonathan Howard For the Times-Dispatch MECHANICSVILLE – Yards were hard to come by for both offenses for the majority of the first half in Friday night’s Times-Dispatch Top 10 battle been No. 6 Henrico and No. 8 Atlee.

In one drive, the visiting Warriors changed that trend.

Henrico (4-1) followed an interception with a 10-play, 99-yard scoring drive and rolled in the second half in a 45-10 thrashing of Atlee (5-1).

Henrico led 7-3, and had its back against the wall on defense after a Jalon Jones interception set Atlee up at the Warriors’ 21-yard line. The defense stood tall and intercepted a pass of its own when an Atlee trick play backfired.

The Raiders lined up running back Tucker Bratton at quarterback, and split Tyler Warren out wide. The call was a jump-ball pass play for Warren down the sideline, attempting to use his height as an advantage.

Warren got his hands on the ball, but it was ripped away by Lamontre Satterwhite on the 1-yard line.

Jones proceeded to lead Henrico on the 99-yard drive, using the run-pass option to give the Atlee defense a balanced diet of Eric McDaniels runs and passes over the middle.

“Our run game was so dynamic with our line blocking up front and Eric McDaniels doing what he does when the ball was in his hand,” Jones said.

“They’d all creep up and I’d just dump it off right behind them.”

The drive ended with Jones hitting junior receiver Justin Goode for a 17-yard score shortly before halftime. The momentum carried into the

Defensively, Henrico senior linebacker Khalil Finger was in on several tackles throughout the game, and said the team’s

Yellow Jackets contain explosive Guilford

By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – With the margin for error razor thin in Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) football this season, taking advantage of opponent miscues is of paramount importance.

Give Randolph-Macon a solid A in that department. The Yellow Jackets used two early Guilford turnovers to build an early 21-0 lead en route to a 63-34 victory on Family Weekend Saturday at Day Field.

Randolph-Macon, which scored at will in on a porous Quaker defense to build a 42-0 halftime advantage, ended the day alone in first place in the ODAC at 2-0, and have won four straight since their season opening defeat at Johns Hopkins.

“I thought we were pretty balanced. Some of our receivers made some plays,” said Yellow Jacket head coach Pedro Arruza. “I thought [quarterback] Burke [Estes] managed the game well. We jumped out to a big lead, but I definitely think there are a lot of things we need to clean up.”

First, the positives. After a bobbled opening kick put Randolph-Macon at its own 8-yard line, Tre Frederick burst through a hole provided by the left side of the offensive line for a 71-yard touchdown run on the fourth play from scrimmage for a 7-0 lead.

On Guilford’s second play from scrimmage, dangerous running back De’Eric Bell, twisting to get extra yardage, got hit by cornerback Anthony Williams, jarring the football loose. The Yellow Jackets recovered at the Quaker 37 and, moments later, Estes found tight end Sam Tanner (Lee-Davis) for a 27-yard touchdown strike.

Dave Lawrence/The Local

Above, Randolph-Macon running back Jordan Foster (23) breaks into the open for a big gain that set up a Yellow Jacket touchdown in Randolph-Macon’s 63-34 victory over visiting Guilford at Day Field Saturday. Left, Foster catches the corner of the end zone for a Yellow Jacket touchdown.

Guilford returned the ensuing kickoff 76 yards to the Yellow Jacket 25, but lost 5 net yards on four plays. RandolphMacon stalled and punted, giving Guilford the football on its 37. On first down, quarterback Alex Manley threw to the left side, but linebacker

Tyler DeBerry perfectly timed a jump to grab the interception and rumble 17 yards to the Guilford 20.

Three plays later, senior Eric Hoy raced untouched up the middle 11 yards for a touchdown. In less than ten minutes, it was Randolph-Macon 21,

Guilford 0.

While the Quakers’ spread offense, aided by Bell, is built to score in bunches, and entered the game averaging 50 points per game, credit goes to the Yellow Jacket defense, who stymied them in every turn in the first half.

Estes found Christian Redman, Jordan Foster, and Tanner a second time to finish the first half with four touchdown passes, ending his afternoon with just one half of work going 12-of-14 for 166 yards.

The second half saw both teams liberally substitute, and against second- and third-team players, the Quaker offense woke up, outscoring RandolphMacon 34-21, but it was way too little, too late.

Still, Arruza – rightfully so – expects top-level performance from every member of

The Mechanicsville Local

the team, and didn’t like many things he saw from talent that, one day, should the need arise, be called on in critical situations.

“I didn’t think our twos played very well in the second half, and it certainly took away, I think, from some of the things we were able to accomplish,” he said.

The coaching staff wasted no time breaking down film Sunday, looking ahead to their next opponent, Shenandoah, who came to Day Field a year ago on a Thursday night and torched the Yellow Jacket defense behind quarterback Hayden Bauserman for a 51-38 win. Bauserman went 47-of-63 for 490 yards and five touchdowns in the Hornets’ 59-34 win over Hampden-Sydney Saturday, two of six teams sitting a game behind RandolphMacon in the ODAC standings at 1-1.

“We know that we will have our hands full,” Arruza said of Bauserman. “I don’t know that he could look any better than he did against us last year. He’s a good player, that’s for sure.”

By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local GLEN ALLEN – For the first five minutes of their match Thursday night at Glen Allen, Atlee field hockey played on their heels. After surviving the first Jaguar wave, the Raiders went to work, and efficiently picked off goals in pairs, as if they were “Score one, get one free.”

The result was an early 4-0 lead and a surprisingly easy 6-0 victory to earn Atlee its seventh straight win.

Taylor Bates led the way, scoring a hat trick, while Jillian Shirey added a pair of scores.

But it was the defense that set the tone early, earning their fifth consecutive shutout. The Raiders have only allowed one goal since a 4-0 loss to Deep Run on September 5th.

“Defensively, we have a lot of players learning their role, and learning to step up and be aggressive,” Atlee head coach Heather Hodges said of the shutout streak. “We’re playing with more of an attacking mindset, rather than playing passively ... stepping to balls, getting in front of them, and cut off the pass before they receive it.”

It doesn’t hurt to have a goalkeeper like Campbell Whyte either.

After Reaghan Kolb opened the scoring at 19:16 left in the first half, Bates tallied her first just 46 seconds later. Glen Allen

hard time putting the ball in the cage. We had a lot of shots we could not finish,” Hodges said of a 1-0 win over rival Lee-Davis.

“We worked on that a lot this week, and the girls started getting hungry in the circle, wanting to score.”

Though a bit further apart, Atlee’s final two goals came in the first four minutes of the second half, as Kate Miller earned her third assist, feeding Bates for the hat trick. Then, off a corner, Bates returned the first-half favor, sending the ball to Shirey for her second tally with 21:32 remaining.

It was an efficient effort, especially on the road against a challenging Region 5B rival, which, with the addition of one needed element, could give Atlee what they need come playoff time later this month.

“We need to work on our communication,” Hodges said.

“They’re still pretty quiet on the field, so that’s something that we are every day getting a little better at, but we’ve got room to grow.”

With perennial Region 5B power Prince George tonight, and trips to Patrick Henry, Douglas Freeman, and Hanover next week to conclude the regular season, the Raiders will need to step up the communication as soon as possible. If it equals the efficiency of their Thursday night performance, it could pay huge dividends as postseason play looms on the horizon.

mounted another push, and earned a two-on-one fast break five minutes later. But Whyte glided from right to left, using her right leg extended to deny

the Jaguars on what would be their best scoring opportunity of the game.

Less than two minutes later, Shirey scored unassisted, and

– off a turnover – Bates and Shirey raced into the circle, Shirey feeding Bates for her second goal just 23 seconds later.

Again, two goals in less than a

Rathbone got off to a shaky start, going 2-over after the first three holes, but an eagle on the sixth hole brought her back to even par. She was 1-under until

she bogeyed the 15th hole, but finished even the final three holes.

“She was disappointed about the putts she missed. I had to remind her of the putts she made,” said Patrick Henry head coach Dave Hudak. “She did an excellent job of defending her regional title and finishing third.”

Three Midlothian players finished among the top four scores. Hanover’s Dyer finished in a three-way tie for fourth with the Trojans’ Dylan Fox and Esther Choi – who also qualified for the Girls Open – with a 2-over 74.

to outrun Lee-Davis defenders down the sidelines at will.

Thomas had plenty of speed of his own, however. He carried the ball 15 times for 93 yards and the remaining three Wildcat touchdowns.

Rice’s absence for most of the second half may have made the ultimate difference for Lee-Davis, as he saved several Confederate scoring drives after they had seemed to stall in the first half.

He came off the field after a 13-yard gain for a first down at the Armstrong 21 early in the second quarter. Lee-Davis did not score on either that or the ensuing drive – that ended in Lass’ interception – allow-

ing the Wildcats to take its first lead 26-21 on a 27-yard run by Thomas with 11:49 left in the game.

“He’s been playing hurt all season,” Turnage said of Rice.

“He’s done a really good job of trying to battle through it.

Unfortunately, tonight he couldn’t play in the second half.

He’s been a great teammate, trying to encourage the guys, and is super frustrated that he can’t be out there. He’s a differencemaker.”

The Confederates rebounded enough to take the lead one more time on a 14-yard pass from Lass to wide receiver Jordan Watkins.

But the Wildcats would not be denied. On the next drive, they survived an 8-yard loss when Thomas was sacked and went ahead for good on

continued funding for the Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program (DoD BCRP). I’d like to share why the BCRP is so important for anyone affected by breast cancer, as well as a bit about my own involvement in the program as an advocate, and encourage others to consider participation.

Background & Benefits The DoD BCRP was established in 1993 through the determined efforts of advocates. The main concept behind it is that if we are going to achieve real breakthroughs against this disease, we need to find a way to provide funding for the most promising higher-risk, yet higher-reward, types of research projects that wouldn’t otherwise get funded. The program is special in many ways: It doesn’t duplicate other federal funding for breast cancer research. Most years, it has operated with a budget of $120 million to $150 million.

In comparison, the National Cancer Institute allocates about $600 million per year to breast cancer research.

The role of advocates is an extremely important part of the process. I’ve had the honor to participate as a “consumer reviewer,” along with scientists and physicians, on a number of panels reviewing research proposals for the program over the last ten years. Consumer reviewers evaluate each proposal from the perspective of patient impact. We only rate highly those proposals that, if successful, would truly make a difference for patients by saving lives or improving quality

of life. Being on a panel is challenging work but incredibly rewarding and a great learning experience. And I’ve found the scientists on the panels to be highly appreciative of the advocates’ input.

It is efficient and transparent. Each year, Congress appropriates funds specifically for the program (money is not taken out of the Department of Defense budget), decisions are made on the use of those funds, and all those funds are committed. This allows the program to move quickly in new directions as appropriate.

Administrative costs are very low. All scientists who receive funding from the program are required to provide written reports on the results of their research projects and those reports are widely distributed and available on the program’s website.

Exciting Results DOD-funded research has been an important part of the progress that has been made in breast cancer treatment over the last twenty years. For example, DoD BCRP research led to the development of the drug Herceptin, a targeted therapy that has been a true “breakthrough” for patients with HER2-positive breast cancer. Other important areas of breast cancer research that have received funding from the DoD BCRP include research to develop immunotherapy treatments for breast cancer, to improve understanding of inherited mutations that increase breast cancer risk, and to improve breast imaging through the use of new technologies. Virginia scientific researchers at institutions such

as Virginia Commonwealth University, the University of Virginia, Hampton University and Virginia Tech have received over $34.5 million in funding since the program’s inception.

You can read much more about the DOD BCRP and its specific research projects at cdmrp.army.mil/bcrp.

Get Involved To become a consumer reviewer for the DOD BCRP, you must be a survivor or someone experiencing breascancer. You must also be an active participant in an advocacy, outreach, or support organization in your local community who nominates you. If you are interested, the best thing to do is to get involved with VBCF’s advocacy work.

VBCF trains and organizes volunteers to be advocates at both the state and federal level for improved public policy surrounding breast cancer. VBCF also offers funding through its Noss Scholarships for advocates to attend national and regional trainings on medical research and legislative advocacy. For more information about VBCF’s advocacy work and training, visit www.vbcf. org or contact kirsta@vbcf.org.

Lisa DeFerrari, VBCF Board member and chair of VBCF’s advocacy and has been a patient advocate reviewer for DoD BCRP since 2007.

Lisa was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1993 at the age of 35. Lisa’s blog, “After 20 Years Cancer Research Blog” - after20yrs.com was recognized as one of the “Best Cancer Blogs of 2018” by Healthline.com.

Game-changing study for early-stage breast cancer

treatment recommendations for women,” said lead author Joseph A. Sparano, M.D., associate director for clinical research at the Albert Einstein Cancer Center and Montefiore Health System. “These data confirm that using a 21-gene expression test to assess the risk of cancer recurrence can spare women unnecessary treatment if the test indicates that chemotherapy is not likely to provide benefit.”

TAILORx was one of the first large-scale trials to examine a methodology for personalizing cancer treatment and is the largest adjuvant breast cancer treatment trial ever completed.

It relied on the 21-gene Oncotype DX Breast Recurrence Score test to more precisely define the benefit of chemotherapy, if any, in early-stage breast cancer.

Mastectomy is a treatment for women diagnosed with breast cancer or those who are genetically predisposed to cancer. The removal of one or both breasts, mastectomy surgery may involve removing just the breast tissue or, in some cases, the lymph nodes as well.

Data from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality says their analysis points to a 36 percent increase of both single and double mastectomies between the period of 2005 and 2013, the most recent year for data.

Women on the precipice of mastectomy surgery will naturally have many questions concerning the procedure and projected recovery. The process of recovering is different for everyone, and not all mastectomies are the same.

The following is a general idea of what patients can expect before and after mastectomy surgery.

Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act VBCF is working with like-minded organizations across the country, through the National Breast Cancer Coalition, to enact federal legislation to waive the 24-month waiting period for Medicare eligibility and the 5-month waiting period for Social Security Disability Insurance benefits for individuals with metastatic breast cancer who qualify for social security disability.

The median life expectancy for patients with metastatic breast cancer is just 26 months, so these waiting periods create an undue burden on the patient and their families trying to receive

timely access to quality health care services.

H.R. 6114, the Metastatic Breast Cancer Access to Care Act, was introduced in June with 35 original cosponsors. However, as of September 1st, no Virginia Congressional Representatives have signed on to support this bill.

Take Action! Contact your member of Congress today to support this bill. Visit www. vbcf.org/ advocate/national-advocacy for more information.

Did you know? Men get breast cancer too Men have a small amount of breast tissue, and that means they can be affected by breast cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, men’s breast tissue has ducts, but only few, if any, lobules. That’s because men do not have enough female hormones to promote the growth of breast cells. Breast cancer can be separated into several types based on what the cancer cells look like under the microscope. They can be in-situ, meaning non-invasive or pre-invasive. They also may be invasive types that have spread to the ducts in the breast tissue. Breast cancer is about 100 times less common among men than among women. Only about 2,600 new cases of invasive breast cancer will be diagnosed in men this year. But men who feel lumps or other anomalies in the area around the nipple should consult their physicians. - Metro Creative Services

Before surgery A mastectomy is performed under general anesthesia, advises the nonprofit group Susan G. Komen. Therefore, patients should expect to undergo routine physical exams and may require a surgical pre-clearance from a doctor and the surgical hospital or center. Blood tests and an EKG may be ordered as well.

Prior to surgery, patients can begin making plans for childcare, meal preparation, shopping, work requirements, and more. As mastectomy is an invasive procedure, patients see MASTECTOMY, pg. 4

he Trial Assigning Individualized Options for Treatment (TAILORx) trial, supported by the National Cancer Institute, opened in 2006 and was designed to determine whether hormone therapy alone is inferior to hormone therapy plus chemotherapy when it comes to treating certain kinds of breast cancer.

The results came in this summer as part of the American Society of Clinical Oncologists (ASCO) annual conference. TAILORx results showed that 70% of women with early stage breast cancers that are HER2 negative and are sensitive to estrogen will not benefit from chemotherapy and can safely avoid its toxic side effects.

Breast cancer survival rates soar breast cancer diagnosis can be a devastating blow. Upon receiving such a diagnosis, people may begin to ask questions about treatment and the impact cancer may have on their personal lives. Many people who are diagnosed with cancer also begin to wonder about their mortality.

An estimated 266,120 new cases of invasive breast cancer and 63,960 new cases of non-invasive, or in situ, breast cancer are expected to be diagnosed among women in the United States this year, according to Breastcancer.org.

According to the latest statistics presented by the Canadian Breast Cancer foundation, 26,300 women and 230 men

since 1989.

The National Cancer Institute says that the change in age-adjusted mortality rates are an indicator of the progress being made in the fight against breast cancer. The most recent SEER Cancer Statistics Review released in April 2018 indicates cancer death rates among women decreased by 1.4 percent per year between the years of 2006 and 2015.

The American Cancer Society says that decreasing death rates among major cancer types, including prostate, colorectal, lung, and breast cancers, are driving the overall shift in survival. The ACS says breast cancer death rates among women declined by 39 percent from 1989 to 2015. That progress is attributed to improvements in early detection and treatment protocols. For anyone doing the math, over the last 25 years or so, 322,000 lives have been saved from breast cancer.

A similar scenario has unfolded in Canada. Breast cancer mortality rates in Canada recently decreased to 21.4 percent, down from 21.8 percent in 2011, states data from the Canadian Cancer Society. Currently, the fiveyear survival rate for breast cancer among Canadians is 87 percent, and the five-year net survival in the United States is 85 percent.

Increased knowledge about breast cancer, early detection through examinations and mammography and improved treatments are helping to drive up the survival rates of breast cancer. Although this does not make diagnosis any less scary, it does offer hope to those recently diagnosed.

may experience pain and fatigue after surgery. Having various plans in play well before the surgery date can relieve some stress and help patients focus on their recoveries.

Purchase comfortable clothing that will be loose around the arms and chest. Zip-up tops or those with front buttons afford easy access. Some women also opt to get fitted for post-op garments, including a lymphedema sleeve. Lymphedema is a swelling of the area, and it is a common side effect. It is helpful to be prepared before such items are needed.

After surgery Mastectomy surgeries typically last between two and three hours. Some may last longer if reconstruction is performed at the same time. Patients will be admitted to a hospital stay for a day or two and moved to a recovery room, and will need to be driven home upon discharge.

Expect to be bandaged and possibly have a surgical drain at the wound site. The nonprofit resource Breastcancer.org says the drain usually remains in place one to two weeks after

surgery. Fluid will have to be emptied from the detachable drain bulb a few times per day.

Sutures that are dissolvable will not require removal.

Patients should follow the recovery plans outlined by their doctors. Rest is most important during this time, so do not overdo exercise or other activities, although some movements to relieve shoulder stiffness may be advised.

Pain, numbness, itching, and myriad other symptoms may occur. Take pain medications only as needed and directed. Weakness is expected in the arms and shoulders. Ask for help lifting, moving or picking up items.

Emotional side effects can be just as profound as physical ones. Fear of the cancer, body image issues and a sense of loss can occur. Having a strong support team can help, as can speaking with a professional counselor.

It can take several weeks to start feeling like oneself again after mastectomy surgery. Women should not hold themselves up to anyone else’s standards and be patient and hopeful because this challenging time is temporary. Learn more at Breastcancer.org.

3 potential side effects of breast cancer treatments

C

Fatigue The nonprofit organization Breastcancer. org notes that fatigue is the most common side effect of breast cancer treatments, with some estimates suggesting it affects as many as 90 percent of all patients. Some breast cancer patients may experience fatigue after treatment and find it’s worsening because they are eating less and not getting enough nutrients. In such instances, the initial fatigue may make people too tired to cook, ultimately contributing to more fatigue when they are not eating or eating convenient yet potentially unhealthy foods. Cooking healthy foods in bulk when fatigue is not overwhelming and

accepting others’ offers to cook is a great way for cancer patients to ensure their diets are helping them combat fatigue and not making fatigue worse.

Lymphedema Johns Hopkins School of Medicine notes that, following breast cancer treatment, some patients may suffer from lymphedema, a condition characterized by the accumulation of lymphatic fluid in the tissues. Lymphedema most often occurs in the arms, but can contribute to swelling in other parts of the body as well. Why some people suffer from lymphedema after treatment and others don’t is a mystery, though surgeons at Johns Hopkins Breast Center have noticed a low occurrence of lymphedema in patients who have undergone sentinel node biopsies or axillary node dissection. Breast cancer patients are at risk of lymphedema for the rest of their lives after treatment, and while there’s no way to prevent it, patients should avoid getting needle sticks or blood pressure tests in arms where lymph nodes were removed. In addition, any injuries or cuts in arms where lymph nodes were removed should be treated with vigilance.

ble getting pregnant after hormonal therapy.

Breastcancer.org notes that women whose periods do not return after treatment may still be fertile, but also notes that women who are close to menopause when beginning chemo may become permanently infertile. Women who have been diagnosed with breast cancer who are concerned about post-treatment infertility should speak with their physicians immediately about their prospects of getting pregnant after treatment, including fertility

Many abnormalities found on a mammogram are not necessarily cancer, but rather are benign conditions like calcium deposits or dense areas in the breast. If the radiologist or a doctor notes areas of concern on a mammogram, The Mayo Clinic says further testing may be needed. This can include additional mammograms known as compression or magnification views, as well as ultrasound imaging. If further imaging is not effective, a biopsy, wherein a sample of breast tissue is taken, will be sent to a laboratory for testing. In some instances an MRI may be taken when mammography or ultrasound results are negative and it is still not clear what's causing a breast change or abnormality. - Metro Creative Services

Infertility Many women will stop menstruating while undergoing chemotherapy or after chemo treatments, and that cessation is often temporary. These irregularities may be traced to hormonal therapies that make the ovaries stop producing eggs. However, in some instances, even premenopausal women may have trou-

treatments and the potential safety risks of getting pregnant after being diagnosed with breast cancer.

Breast cancer treatments save lives every day. When discussing treatments with their physicians, breast cancer patients should ask questions about potential short- and longterm side effects.

According to the Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center, breast cancer treatments can create both long-term side effects and late side effects. Long-term side effects are those that begin during treatment and continue after all treatments have stopped, while late side effects refers to symptoms that can appear weeks, months or even years after treatments have ended.

What you need to know: At home genetic testing he at-home DNA testing company, 23andMe, recent- ly had their BRCA home test approved by the FDA. While some experts believe this is a great step towards transparency and helping patients understand their disease risk, many others are concerned that this test- ing will lead to greater misinformation.

The benefit to this at-home test is that it increases ac- cess to genetic testing. This testing is now fully cov- ered by most insurances, but the person being tested must be determined “high risk.” As we know, not ev- eryone has access to health insurance and some peo- ple with insurance may not fall under the guidelines of “high risk,” but still want to know their genetic risk. This kit helps make that knowledge possible. John Quillin, Ph.D, a genetic counselor from VCU Massey Cancer Center, sees some benefit: “Because of limited family structures and inheritance through men in the family, many women with hereditary breast cancer might not know they are at risk. Broad-based, accessible, afford- able, direct-to-consumer testing may help increase access and awareness.”

A major concern with the test: Consumers are test- ed on “the three mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes that are the most common in the Ashkenazi Jewish population.

Those mutations are not the most common BRCA mutations in the broader population.”

For context, there are “more than 1,000 known BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations.” This means that your average consumer will take the test at home, it will come back negative for those three mutations, and they will be- lieve themselves

“safe” from breast cancer.

Genetic testing is a complicated process, which is why there are genetic counselors dedi-

cated to helping people decide whether or not to get tested, and what to get tested for. Here’s one genetic counselor’s take on the decision:

“‘[T]he problem comes in when a patient may not have an understanding of their results and potential implications for their health,’ [Karen] Grinzaid said. ‘It puts them in a position of interpreting results and find- ing their own resources and puts their...primary care physician, in a position of explaining results they may not understand.’”

Different mutations within the BRCA genes are more common in people with different ethnic backgrounds, and there are other genes to look at besides BRCA (in- cluding CHEK2, PALB2, etc). Genetic counselors know this information, so they can point a person in the cor- rect direction as towhich tests to get.

Ge- netic counselors can also help patients figure out next steps when they are clearly high risk due to their fami- ly history, but get negative results or results of mutation of unknown significance. Dr. Quil- lin highlighted another concern: “...while the FDA affirmed the validity of [23andMe’s] test results, 23andMe does not run additional con- firmatory testing of pos- itive test results, which typically happens in a clinical diagnostic labo- ratory.”

Genetic risk is not the only factor in developing breast cancer, in fact only about 10% of breast cancer diagno- ses are known to be affected by genetic risk. No matter your results on a genetic test, you can reduce your risk of breast cancer by exercising, eating a healthy diet, and not smoking. If you are interested in learning more about your genetic risk for breast cancer, talk to your doctor about connecting with a genetic counselor. -Virginia Breast Cancer Foundation

Explaining metastatic cancer Cancer survival rates are on the rise, and that rise can be credited to a host of factors.

Advancements in cancer research and treatment have played a big role in rising survival rates, as have the efforts of various organizations to promote cancer prevention and raise awareness about the disease.

The World Health Organization notes that between 30 and 50 percent of cancers can currently be prevented by avoiding certain risk factors and implementing evidence-based

prevention strategies. However, people can be vulnerable to cancer if they do not pay attention to their bodies or make an effort to protect themselves against certain risk factors for cancer. In such instances, cancer may already have spread to other parts of their bodies, or metastasized, before they are even diagnosed, greatly reducing their likelihood of surviving the disease.

Cancer that spreads to distant parts of the body is known as metastatic cancer and is often

referred to as ‘stage IV cancer.’ According to the National Cancer Institute, when observed under a microscope, metastatic cancer cells feature traits like that of the primary cancer and do not mimic the cells in the part of the body where the cancer is found. That is how doctors can tell that the cancer is metastatic cancer and has spread from another part of the body.

When doctors diagnose metastatic cancer, they will refer to it with the same name as the primary cancer regardless of where the meta-

static cancer was discovered. For example, the NCI notes that breast cancer that has spread to the lungs will not be referred to as lung cancer, but metastatic breast cancer. In addition, when treating the disease in this example, doctors will treat the cancer as stage IV breast cancer, not as lung cancer.

Understanding metastatic cancer can help recently diagnosed men and women better comprehend their disease and their prognosis.

Breast Awareness Cancer

Understanding the diagnosis by the stages of breast cancer pon receiving a breast cancer diagnosis, patients will soon receive a pathology report that informs them about the stage their cancer is in. The stage indicates how advanced the cancer is and whether or not it is limited to one area of the breast or has spread to other tissue or even other parts of the body. Understanding the stages of breast cancer can help patients cope with their diagnoses more effectively.

Once the doctor has completed all the necessary testing, patients will then receive their pathology reports, which will include the stage of the cancer. The following rundown of the various stages of breast cancer can help breast cancer patients better understand their disease.

Stage 0 Non-invasive breast cancers are considered to be in stage 0. When doctors have determined the cancer is in stage 0, that means they have not seen any indication that the cancer cells or the abnormal non-cancerous cells have spread out of the part of the breast in which they started.

Breast cancer patients may hear the term Òfive-year survival rateÓ when discussing their disease with their physicians. The five-year survival rate refers to the percentage of people who live at least five years after being diagnosed with cancer. According to the American Cancer Society, the five-year survival rate for women with stage 0 breast cancer is nearly 100 percent.

Stage I Stage I refers to invasive breast cancer and is broken down into two categories: stage IA and stage IB. Stage IA refers to invasive breast cancers in which the tumor is up to two centimeters and the cancer has not spread outside the breast. The lymph nodes are not involved in stage IA breast cancers. In some stage IB breast cancers, there is no tumor in the breast but there are small groups of cancer cells in the lymph nodes larger than 0.2 millimeter but not larger than two millimeters.

But stage IB breast cancers may also refer to instances when there is both a tumor in the breast that is no larger than two centimeters and small groups of cancer cells in the lymph nodes that are larger than 0.2 millimeter but no larger than two millimeters.

The ACS notes that the fiveyear survival rate for stage I breast cancers is roughly 100 percent.

Stage II Stage II breast cancers are also divided into two subcategories: stage IIA and stage IIB. Both subcategories are invasive, but stage II breast cancers are more complex than stage 0 or stage I breast cancers. Stage IIA describes breast cancers in which no tumor can be found in the breast, but cancer that is larger than two millimeters is found in one to three axillary lymph nodes (the lymph nodes under the arm) or in the lymph nodes near the breast bone. But an invasive breast cancer can still be considered stage IIA if the tumor

measures two centimeters or smaller and has spread to the axillary lymph nodes or if the tumor is larger than two centimeters but not larger than five centimeters and has not spread to the axillary lymph nodes.

Stage IIB breast cancer describes breast cancers in which the tumor is larger than two centimeters but no larger than five centimeters, and there are small groups of breast cancer cells in the lymph nodes. These small groups of cells are larger than 0.2 millimeters but no larger than two millimeters.

Stage IIB may also be used to describe breast cancers in which the tumor is larger than two centimeters but no larger than five centimeters and the cancer has spread to between one and three axillary lymph nodes or to lymph nodes near the breastbone.

Tumors that are larger than

five centimeters but have not spread to the axillary lymph nodes may also be referred to as stage IIB breast cancers.

The five-year survival rate for stage II breast cancers is about 93 percent.

Stage III Stage III cancers are invasive breast cancers broken down into three categories: IIIA, IIIB and IIIC. When patients are diagnosed with stage IIIA breast cancer, that means doctors may not have found a tumor in their breast or the tumor may be any size.

In stage IIIA, cancer may have been found in four to nine axillary lymph nodes or in the lymph nodes near the breastbone. Tumors larger than five centimeters that are accompanied by small groups of breast cancer cells (larger than 0.2 millimeter but no larger than two millimeters) in the lymph nodes also indicate a breast

cancer has advanced to stage IIIA. But stage IIIA may also be used to describe breasts cancers in which the tumor is larger than five centimeters and the cancer has spread to one to three axillary lymph nodes or to the lymph nodes near the breastbone.

A stage IIIB breast cancer diagnosis indicates the tumor may be any size and has spread to the chest wall and/or the skin of the breast, causing swelling or an ulcer. The cancer may have spread to up to nine axillary lymph nodes or may have spread to the lymph nodes near the breastbone.

In stage IIIC breast cancer, doctors may not see any sign of cancer in the breast. If there is a tumor, it may be any size and may have spread to the chest wall and/or the skin of the breast. To be categorized as stage IIIC, the cancer must also have spread to 10 or more axillary lymph nodes or to the

lymph nodes above or below the collarbone or to the axillary lymph nodes or lymph nodes near the breastbone.

The ACS notes that women diagnosed with stage III breast cancer are often successfully treated and that the five-year survival rate is 72 percent.

Stage IV Invasive breast cancers that have spread beyond the breast and lymph nodes to other areas of the body are referred to as stage IV. Stage IV breast cancer may be a recurrence of a previous breast cancer, though some women with no prior history of breast cancer receive stage IV diagnoses. The fiveyear survival rate for stage IV breast cancers is 22 percent.
