Four seek South Anna HCSB seat By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local
ASHLAND -- Four candidates placed their names in nomination for the South Anna District seat on the Hanover County School Board during last Wednesday’s meeting of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors. The appointee will replace former representative Sue Dibble, who resigned the seat to assume her slot representing South Anna on the board of supervisors. Dibble will announce her decision at the Jan. 22 meeting of the supervisors. In the interim, she said she plans to meet with all of the candidates and study the resumes.
Prsrt. Standard U.S. POSTAGE PAID Mechanicsville, VA Permit No.141
Hanover County is the largest school district in the C o m m o nw e a l t h utilizing the appointed school board system. Most districts elect their local school boards. Dibble was DIBBLE appointed by former supervisor Wayne Hazzard in 2013. Each of the prospective candidates spoke at last week’s meeting, outlining their qualifications for the position. Amy Cheeley, the mother of three
children associated with Hanover County Public Schools, has lived in the county for three decades. “I bring a wealth of experience in local government and community advocacy and a myriad of ideas and enthusiasm for our children and their futures,” she said. Cheeley’s past experience includes service as a classroom tutor, room parent, and volunteer in county schools. She also participated in programs like Reading Olympics. Cheeley was a nominee for the South Anna seat in 2013, and said she would not support a salary increase for school board members.

HCSO awarded 2019 Virginia Law Enforcement Challenge HANOVER -- Last week, the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office was recognized by the Virginia Association Chiefs Of Police & Foundation (VACP) “for their continued dedication to saving lives on our roadways”. CoI. David R. Hines, sheriff, said, “It is an honor to be recognized in the 2019 Virginia Law Enforcement Challenge for “Excellence In Traffic Safety”. The Sheriff ’s Office placed first in the category of Sheriff ’s Office with 151 officers or more for efforts in 2018. The award was presented by Dana G. Schrad, executive director of the Virginia Chiefs of Police Foundation. Hines and Sgt. David Parrish accepted the award on behalf of the Sheriff ’s Office. According to the award: “For 2018, Hanover County once again demonstrated a higher percentage of seat belt use
compared to the rest of the state – 91% vs. 84%. This is no doubt due to the Sheriff ’s Office’s concerted efforts to educate the public and enforce occupant protection laws. Through seminars conducted by SROs in high schools and information presented in the Police Explorers program, the Youth Police Academy, Citizens Police Academy and Senior Citizens Police Academy, the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office has educated drivers young and old about the life-saving difference seat belts and properly-installed child safety seats can have when one is involved in a crash. Occupant enforcement efforts during campaigns like Click It or Ticket also make a difference in reminding drivers and passengers to properly buckle up. The Sheriff ’s Office enforcement efforts resulted in fewer crashes Photo submitted by Sgt. Steve DiLoreto that involved unrestrained occupants and fewer Col. David R.

OPINION | The Local Views From the managing editor
If you aren’t on the transplant list, do so ASAP By Melody Kinser Managing Editor er kidney function is 5%; she is undergoing dialysis three days a week. She needs a transplant. But, without question, her faith in God is unwavering. We have been best friends for 20 years. She is one of those people that you don’t need to talk to every day. It may be weeks or months at a time when we get on the phone, but it’s as if we spoke the day before. I called last week to talk about their holidays and, sadly, her ongoing health issues. She has been seriously ill for 10 years, but she
H
doesn’t complain. She is amazing and an inspiration. I am blessed to have her in my life. Rather than feel sorry for herself, she thinks about those who are in what she considers more serious health crises. I fought back tears when she told me that two of the men she had gotten to know during dialysis had died. She talked matter-of-factly about her own status. She had been on a transplant list at one of the country’s top hospitals for the procedure when an illness struck that delayed the surgery. Now she is waiting to be placed on the list again. If I am a match, I wouldn’t hesitate to give
my friend a kidney. Since her transplant had to be delayed, they’re almost back at square one in the process. Her voice sounded a big stronger last week, but she has little, if any, appetite. Her husband is a godsend. He had tried to woo her for about five years when she finally accepted a dinner invitation. They married in 2009. He dotes on her with the love and devotion that uphold their wedding vows. They are truly united as one. I’m an organ donor. Are you? If not, please contact UNOS (United Network for Organ Sharing) at www.unos.org. I’ve shared the story before about a friend’s
brother who was killed. He was in his 30s and healthy. His mother agreed to donate his organs. A nurse said about 100 people would benefit with organs and skin grafts. I expect he still lives on in many people’s bodies. My dad’s corneas were donated when he died suddenly. As a cancer victim, few organs would be acceptable for transplant. I hope when I leave this life that my organs can prolong the lives of many. In the meantime, I will pray for my friend and keep updated on the transplant status. Again, if you aren’t an organ donor, please give the gift of life to others.
It may be a new decade, but the good will of people is constant By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist I rarely indulge in end of year wrap-up type stories. It seems much too routine, cliche and rehearsed for my pursuits, and never mind the fact that every columnist in America is or has completed writing their 2019 reflections. This year seems a bit different as we enter a new decade, a moment in time that usually provides hope and optimism for the future. With conflict
and natural disaster claiming the first headlines of 2020, it seems best to focus on some of the people that were more than worthy of my attention as I choked out the last 52 columns. As I glanced back over the past 12 months and my contributions, I realized that — with all the strife, confusion and misfortune in our world — there are still amazing special people performing incredible feats of kindness and compassion. It made me consider that this

evolving sense of self-think and evolving tribal alienations is perhaps a reflection of a society, but maybe not the people who comprise it. Perhaps, the real hope for 2020 does not lie in the ability of governments or conglomerates to solve what sometimes seem like impossible problems, but in the one remaining constant in turbulent times: the good will of people and their ability to blossom. In 2019, I told the story of a group
of football fans who began a new tradition at the University of Iowa. At the end of the first period in every home game, the teams and fans stand and salute children being treated at the adjoining Children’s Hospital, many of the kids suffering from chronic and critical illnesses. It was a small gesture with enormous meaning that captures the attention of a nation. In a similar category, I continued the story of a local football team that

continued a decade-long relationship with a child with a terminal disease. The team dedicated a game to him, raised money and awareness, and, more importantly, displayed a sense of personal compassion that won’t be forgotten. That child happens to be my son Jack, and the team involved in those heroic efforts is the Goochland Bulldogs varsity football team. But, it’s the continued support of Jack’s many friends and supporters in the Goochland community that always make the columns regarding their efforts easy to compose and a labor of love. These are only small examples of the meaningful work performed daily by the people who surround us, live in our neighborhoods without recognition. I’d like to think they represent the real story of America as we move into a new decade. By far, the column that evoked the most response was a piece regarding the early morning memories of a paper boy. It seems many people, and not just boys, remember carrysee DECADE, pg. 8

Mechanicsville and Ashland residents make President’s List at Bob Jones University
I wrote more than a few columns recalling past events, people, products, and each seemed to resurrect specific memories for different readers. One composed and sent the nicest compliment of the year when they posted, “Your memories make me think of my memories and that puts a smile on my face. Thanks!” But other responses were polite, honest and revealing. “I like the way you write, but sometimes don’t know what you are talking about.” I suppose that comment is
generation-based, and I understand the sentiment. So with all the turmoil and challenge the news of the day may present, I’ll continue to search for the path less travelled and tell the stories of a few, or the obsolete … or the forgotten. After all, we are, indeed, a nation of individuals on separate paths, united in a vision for a better tomorrow, each with a story to tell and something significant to offer. Those are the stories I’ll be looking or in 2020.
Bob Jones University students named to the President’s List for high academic achievement during the Fall 2019 semester. To qualify for the
President’s List, Bob Jones students must earn a 3.75 or higher grade point average for the semester. Ryan Kelly, a Junior Sport Management major from

“Our school board is already compensated fairly and I would prefer to keep salaries commensurate with the per pupil average for our area,” she said. Kelly Evko also is being considered for the South Anna seat and is the parent of two daughters, both graduates of Hanover schools. “I began volunteering in Hanover schools when Taylor (daughter) entered kindergarten,” Evko said. “My focus in the beginning was supporting the staff and working in the classroom.” She was active in the PTA and supported numerous fundraising efforts for her daughters’ schools. Evko said she has spent the last 25 years working in business development, sales leadership, and marketing, including tenures at two Fortune 500 companies. “I have extensive experience in leading small groups in strategies, budgets, and business development,” Evko said. “I’m not afraid to ask questions and look for creative solutions.” Evko said her experience well prepares her for the challenges of the position. “I believe my extensive business experience, combined with my understanding of the needs of parents students, teachers and the key administrators, will allow me to be an

Local man successfully undergoes procedure for cardiac artery disease Staff Report news@mechlocal.com MECHANICSVILLE – A 92-year-old Mechanicsville resident is on the mend after undergoing a new innovative procedure at Bon Secours Memorial Regional Medical Center in Mechanicsville. After Rufus Cosby had suffered a mini-stroke due to an unknown artery blockage,
it was determined that 75% of his right carotid artery was blocked. He wasn’t considered a candidate for the traditional surgery to remove the blockage, but he did qualify for the new procedure, Transcarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR), at Bon Secours. Cosby’s procedure was performed at MRMC by Andrew Tierney, M.D., a vascular surgeon with Bon Secours

Vascular Surgery Associates. The procedure was so successful that Cosby was discharged the next day. In addition to less downtime than when undergoing traditional surgery, TCAR offers a reduced risk of stroke and minimal incisions and scarring. During this procedure, the physician makes a small incision above the patient’s collarbone and delivers a stent into the blocked artery. Blood flow is temporarily reversed to protect the brain while the physician operates. Benefits of the TCAR procedure include reduced risk of stroke, minimal incisions and scarring, shortened procedure time and reduced recovery time, compared to more traditional treatment options. “Having TCAR available to the patients of Memorial Regional Medical Center and

St. Mary’s Hospital who are at high risk of stroke is very exciting,” said Dr. Tierney. “TCAR is a minimally invasive procedure for the treatment of carotid artery disease and has been proven to reduce the risk of stroke in patients undergoing treatment for carotid artery disease. Some of these patients have an increased risk of complications from traditional carotid interventions and would not have many other treatment options.” The TCAR procedure is an option for patients suffering from carotid artery disease, which is the buildup of fatty deposits or plaque in the carotid arteries that deliver blood to the brain and head. Individuals who have been diagnosed with carotid artery disease are at a much greater risk for developing a stroke or a medical emergency due to a lack of blood supply to the brain.

Mike has a stellar reputation and brings the skills, talents, and leadership abilities we need to continue the FireRescue Department’s advancement, serving our citizens and meeting the future demands in our jurisdiction,” Fire Chief Eddie Ferguson said. “I have known Mike for many years
and worked with him on several regional/state committees and boards and look forward to his help here in Goochland County.” Watkins was challenged to service in high school by his father and has been part of fire and emergency services for over 28 years. During college, he volunteered with Forest View Rescue Squad and Blacksburg Rescue, worked for the Safety Department at Kings Dominion, and served in the Virginia Army National Guard. see CHIEF, pg. 13

“I have worked hard to live up to the confidence you have shown in me, and I hope I have met your expectations,” Peterson said as he surrendered the gavel to Stanley. Citing a long list of upcoming events and issues, Stanley said the issue of selecting a new county administrator is among the top priorities. “That’s going to be a tough act because all of us have an idea of what we’d like to see in a new county administrator,” Stanley said. “We’ve been so used to Mr. Harris for so long and he’s been a part of

think they would say just talking to me,” he said. Stanley said he prefers to delegate and urged board members to address issues in their jurisdictions. “If it’s in your district, take charge,” he said. In other matters, Commissioner of Revenue Scott Harris asked supervisors to consider an adjustment to the county’s Senior and Disabled Tax Relief program. Citizens must be 65 years old or permanently disabled to qualify for the relief, and currently earn less than $50,000 annually and have less than $200,000 in accumulated wealth.
this county growing the way it has.” He also noted some immediate items that require attention like the Cedar Lane zoning issue and two school board appointments. Regarding the hiring of a new county administrator, the board will begin its Jan. 22 meeting at 3:30 p.m. with a workshop session to hear an update from a firm hired to assist in the search for a new leader. The chair described himself as “old school”, noting he prefers a phone conversation to an email. “A lot of people will email me and say things that I don’t 6 PM

adjustment by a unanimous vote. During a citizens comment period, Cliff Parker told the board a recent issue regarding his wife and an unruly student in her Hanover County classroom has been resolved, but he still listed his complaints concerning discipline in the county’s schools. “My wife is a teacher,” Parker said. “She’s been harassed, intimidated, and assaulted in her classroom for the last four months. After five police reports, four board presentations, two letters to a principal, and a meeting with Dr. [Michael] Gill [superintendent of HCPS] and Mr.
The relief is based on the applicant’s income with those with less than $10,000 annual income pay no real estate taxes, while someone making $50,000 receive a 25 percent reduction. Harris said more than 1,300 Hanover residents participate in the program that costs the county around $1.4 million annually. The program has not been adjusted in a dozen years, and Harris asked the supervisors to increase the maximum levels by $2,500. “We want to be responsible to the needs of our citizens,” Harris said.

Patriots, Hawks earn split in doubleheader By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local

The Mechanicsville Local
January 15, 2020
MECHANICSVILLE – Victories mean different things to different teams. Thursday night at Hanover High School, one team kept an unbeaten season alive, while another continued to put a winless season far into their rear-view mirror. The Hawks’ girls team played relentless defense and unselfish offense to improve to 10-0, holding a good Patrick Henry offense to only 7 points in the second half in a resounding 69-26 triumph. A defense, used by Hanover normally to try to disrupt their opponent’s point guard, was turned up a notch in trying to keep Patrick Henry’s Logan Nuckols from finding her shooting rhythm. It worked. While Nuckols scored 13 points to lead the Patriots (5-5), the combination of defensive pressure designed to make passes difficult at best and dangerous at worst, along with Hanover’s speed made for a long evening for Patrick Henry. “The main thing is we try to keep the guards in front of us,” said Hanover head coach Mike Rohr of the defensive scheme. “It makes the passing angles a little tougher and makes them go away from the 3-point line instead of to it.” Hanover continually built
its lead, reaching 20 points at halftime at 39-19. The Hawks extended the advantage in the second half thanks to defense, but also to offensive decisions which are building a team where eight or nine different players could lead in scoring. On this night, it was Adrianna Jacobs, working inside for a 16-point performance. Interior partner Emily Mott scored 10, as did freshman Erin Woodson, 8 of them in the first half. “All our bigs played really well,” Rohr said. “Tonight happened to be Adrianna’s night. She was really getting up and down the floor.” In the nightcap, the new look Patrick Henry boys are proving their future is now. Leading 24-23 with just under 3 minutes left in the first half, the Patriots used a 7-0 run to take a 31-23 lead to the locker room. “We’ve been talking as a staff about changing our routine and rhythm of things we do when we come out of the locker room,” said Patrick Henry head coach Randy Anderson, noting his team’s tendency to start slow in the third period. “I’m looking at the floor, and there’s a freshman, three sophomores and a senior.” Whatever the Patriots did on this night worked. They ripped off another 7-0 run early in the quarter. With the lead see SPLIT, pg. 25
Cavalier wrestlers show scrap in Goochland tri GOOCHLAND – A young King William wrestling unit battled its way to six individual wins across 12 contested matchups in a tri meet at Goochland High School on Jan. 7. Benedictine, loaded with returning VISAA state champions and projected state title contenders, were victorious against the Cavaliers 57-22, but won half of the six contested matchups between the two teams. The host Bulldogs likewise won 54-24, yet also split their six contested matchups with King William. “It’s actually really good. We’ve got a really, really, really young team, we’re in a rebuilding stage … but the room’s coming around,” said King William head coach Buck Downey. “The boys are looking better and better.” Rudy Downey, who wrestles for the camaraderie and likes the mentality of the sport, showed command from the beginning as he bumped-up from 113 to 120 to pin Goochland’s John Summitt within two periods, then returned to his 113 weight class to pin Benedictine’s Jonah Lambert in 45 seconds for a 2-0 day. Austin Weeks, whom Coach Downey called “a diehard wrestler” and is part of the VA Team
– Brooke Point dominated the weekend at Atlee, but the Raiders finished third and LeeDavis finished fourth in the second annual Tommy Legge Memorial Tournament at Atlee Saturday. Brooke Point outscored second-place Mountain View by 150 points, 598-448. The Raiders scored 419 points and the Confederates 317.5 in the two-day tournament. King William finished in 14th place with 141 points. The Lee-Davis B team finished 15th with 53 points. Brooke Point was led by three champions, Parker Trahan in the 106-pound class, Stephen Mainz (113 pounds) and Christopher Lee (126). Mountain View had two champions, Dalton Arce (120 pounds) and Elijah White (145). Joel Klein for The Local The Raiders were led by Lee-Davis 220-pounder Andy Aldridge works his way to a win at the Hawk Duals on Jan. 4. Evan Buchanan, the 132-pound champion who claimed his 100th career pin Saturday, and Daniel Martinez, who won the 182-pound title. Andy Aldridge won the 220-pound title for Lee-Davis.

Predator wrestling room, went 2-0 in his 132 weight class as he followed-up a first-period pin of Goochland’s Grant Heidel with a 14-1 major-decision win over Benedictine’s Joseph Davidson. Coach Downey said that Romeo White (152) wrestles to stay in shape for football, but White was also among the Cavaliers’ standouts on the mat on Tuesday. After going three periods deep to pin Goochland’s Corey Vincent with 55 seconds left in the match, he rallied from going down 13-5 as deep as the third period to challenge Benedictine’s Adam Choate for the win, but came up just shy at the end to take the 15-12 setback by decision. “That was really big,” Coach Downey said of White’s comeback. “He works really hard. He can definitely use a little more technique, but he has a lot of heart. That was really good. … I know he’s upset at the end of the day, but he should be proud of himself to come back (from) that far down.” Trevor Black (145) also joined his three teammates in earning a contested win. He bounced back from a loss by pin to Goochland’s Riley Hite to pin Benedictine’s Hector Cibes in 1:02.

Raider boys, girls prevail in sweep at Lee-Davis By Dave Lawrence Sports Editor MECHANICSVILLE – Atlee’s boys and girls basketball teams may have swept the evening, but host Lee-Davis made the Raiders work for both wins Friday night. The hardest-fought contest of the night was the nightcap in which the Atlee boys prevailed 53-35. The Raider girls opened the evening with a 77-47 win. In the nightcap, Atlee struggled against a Lee-Davis team that refused to yield and whose defense often thwarted Raider attempts to capitalize once they got the ball in the paint. At intermission, Atlee held a shaky 26-22 lead. But the Raiders adjusted and took advantage of a dominant second half to pull away from the Confederates. “They played extremely well in the first half,” Atlee head boys basketball coach Rally Axselle said of his opponents. “We did not finish under the basket like I thought we were capable of. I told them at halftime, ‘We’re getting good shots. I like the shots we’re taking, we’re just not finishing them.’ “We did make some adjustments. We emphasized getting the ball inside to Tyler [Warren] – always a good coaching choice – and we did a better job screening in the zone and got better shots and closer shots.” While Atlee’s adjustments helped, the Raiders’ deeper bench proved pivotal. The Confederate starters got little rest, while the Raiders could make complete line changes seemingly at will. “Atlee made a few adjustments, which were good,” said Lee-Davis head coach Gene Foley. “But a lot of it was our they weren’t able to get back 15 points. Lee-Davis’ top scorer, four, five or six starters and key sometimes and they weren’t Kwadell McQueen, likewise players just got tired. We don’t closing out as well.” scored 15. have a really deep bench and In the opener, the Raiders Warren led the Raiders with

they still were outscored in each of the remaining quarters, they more or less held their own against the Raiders, especially in the second half in which the Atlee advantage was a mere 5 points. “We’ve still got work to do,” said Atlee head girls basketball coach Michael Rawlings. “I think part of my focus coming here today was working on our execution.” The Raiders had four in double-figures: Kayla Maxson with 22 points, Laci Miller with 20, Sky Kelvin with 16 and Kelly Ayer with 12. But none could top the Confederates’ best performer, Maddie Butler and her 25 points. Butler, a sophomore, has shown a lot of growth on the floor. “I’ve been training a lot more on weekends and it’s really boosting me up,” Butler said. “My teammates are really good at lifting me up and talking.” Dave Lawrence can be reached at dlawrence@mechlocal.com.
R-MC men wobbly, but recovering from loss By Rob Witham For the Mechanicsville Local ASHLAND – How would No. 4 Randolph-Macon men’s basketball respond Saturday coming off their first loss of the season? The answer was complex. Failing to score in the final 2:11 of a 70-65 loss at Mary Washington the previous Wednesday, the Yellow Jackets seemed to get their offense back in gear, with 27 points in the first 12 minutes of their 57-40 Old Dominion Athletic Conference win over the Ferrum Panthers. But as the final score indicates, the Yellow Jackets struggled in long stretches trying to score. Luckily, the Panthers’ struggles were even worse. While Randolph-Macon (12-1, 5-0 ODAC) shot 38.6 percent from the floor, making just 6 of 24 3-point tries, Ferrum (7-7, 2-3) only made 13 of their 57 shot attempts. The Panthers were just 6 of 26 from beyond the arc. The one constant for Randolph-Macon was freshman Miles Mallory, who registered his third double-double of the season, leading the Yellow Jackets with 19 points while grabbing a career-high 11 rebounds. Despite the uneven performance, Mallory noted it wasn’t due to lack of concern over the Mary Washington loss. “We were motivated. Once we saw the film, we wanted to put it behind us, and move on to the next game,” Mallory noted. “We had open shots down the stretch (at Mary Washington) and didn’t knock them down.” On Saturday, Mallory did, shooting 7 of 13 from the floor, knocking down all four of his free throws. Buzz Anthony, coming off his second career triple-double Wednesday, scored 8 points, snared six

rebounds, and dished out nine assists, while Terry Woods scored 6 points off the bench. “Sometimes, they aren’t all pretty,” said Yellow Jackets head coach Josh Merkel. “Some nights it doesn’t feel like you can miss, but maybe tonight ... we’ll look at the film. We’ll see what we can do.” It was the second time this season Randolph-Macon held an opponent to only 40 total points. Next, the women took the floor at Crenshaw Gymnasium to face a Guilford Quaker squad that also entered this game with a 3-3 ODAC record. Even this early in conference play, a fourth loss would hurt a team’s chances to land a top four finish in the ODAC standings, and with it, a bye to the confer-
Randolph-Macon fought back to tie the game at 32 apiece at halftime, then took control in the third period to hold off Guilford 63-59. Hatfield, who led the Yellow
Jackets with 21 points, and Kelly Williams, who added 15, each hit 3-point shots in the first 2 minutes of the period, fueling an 8-0 run. Hatfield made two more triples and completed a traditional 3-point play to finish with 12 points in the period as the Yellow Jackets built a 53-47 lead. After the Quakers cut the deficit to 2 points, another Hatfield triple made it 56-51 with 7:09 remaining. Guilford scored the next 5 points to tie the contest, but a Becca Arrington free throw with 4:07 left gave Randolph-Macon the lead for good. The game’s conclusion left fans bewildered, as RandolphMacon had the ball with 28 seconds remaining up 63-59. Inexplicably, the Quakers never fouled to stop the clock, and the Yellow Jackets gladly dribbled away the final moments to improve to 4-3 in ODAC play, and 5-7 overall. Now tied for sixth place in the conference with Lynchburg, the Yellow Jackets head to Randolph College Wednesday night before hosting Roanoke Saturday at 2 p.m. for their annual “Back To The Hive” homecoming celebration.
