Schools: doing more with less By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Since the economic downturn began more than four years ago, Hanover County Public Schools has cut more than $33 million in expenditures and eliminated more than 300 jobs. The district accomplished those budget reductions while boasting the state’s lowest dropout and second best graduation rate in its category. That theme of doing more with less continues in the department’s proposed 2013-2014 budget presented on Tuesday, Jan. 8, by superintendent Jamelle Wilson
at a regular Hanover County School Board meeting. At its first airing, this year’s document represents a decrease in the county’s overall school budget, and a more than $6 million anticipated WILSON shortfall wasn’t quite as bad as expected. Wilson said the cuts are not as “deep as it could have been,” as she reported a shortfall of $5.4 million.
“Budget details from the state and targets from the county administrator have been refined, and we now know our budget deficit for 2013-2014 stands at $5.4 million, not $6.5 million,” Wilson said. The system’s proposed General Fund budget is balanced at $177.2 million, a $2.5 million decrease from 2012-2013. The system hopes to make up the revenue shortfall through a coordinated strategy that addresses six specific areas. They include: ✏ A $1.4 million cut in non-basic funding. see SCHOOLS, pg. 29

Louisville was there and I got to talking to a Louisville cheerleader alumni and she convinced me to come and try out. I think that it was the best decision I could have made to transfer and get out of the state and see something different.” Gonzalez cheered for the Cardinals for four years and was granted a cheerleading scholarship her senior year. She graduated in July with a Bachelor of Arts degree. She double majored in communications and sociology. “They don’t give many scholarships,” she said, adding that she made the varsity squad Photo courtesy of Becky Gonzalez her first year. “Louisville has three cheerleadBecky Gonzalez, a 2007 graduate of Atlee ing teams and I was on the all-girl team so we High School, proudly displays the banner actually cheered for the women’s basketball that the University of Louisville’ small-coed team and then our coed team cheered for the cheerleading received for capturing the National Cheerleaders Association’s Division men.

Hanover sheriff addresses recent school violence concerns (Editor’s note: The following was submitted by Col. David R. Hines, sheriff of Hanover County.) To our community, As your sheriff, as a father and as the husband of a Hanover County Public Schools employee, I have spent a great deal of time reflecting on the
tragedy that struck Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. I am heartbroken by the loss of so many innocent lives, and I mourn deeply for the victims and their loved ones. As a law enforcement professional, I am moved by the humanity, professional skill and courage of the Sandy Hook staff and first

A 115 Year Tradition of Caring
8014 Lee-Davis Road, Mechanicsville • 746-8665 www.bennettfuneralhomes.com Bennett Funeral Home was established in 1897 to serve the needs of Richmond families. Since then, this locally owned and operated business has continued to serve the community with its unique combination of caring and convenience. This tradition of excellence can be seen in the four beautiful chapels located throughout the Richmond area: centrally located on Cutshaw Avenue in the city, on Broad Street Road past Innsbrook, on Ashbrook Pkwy. in Chesterfield and serving the Hanover-Mechanicsville area on Lee-Davis Road. All four facilities are under the personal direction of Charles D. Morehead, President. In a time of need, you can turn to Bennett Funeral Home with trust and confidence. It serves families of all faiths with personal service before, during, and after. There is a long tradition of professionalism and caring. One way in which Bennett cares for families is by offering a convenient and personalized pre-need program. Through this program of pre-need planning, you can spare your loved ones the burden of making decisions at an emotional time. Call Bennett Funeral Home at 746-8665 to schedule a pre-planning consultation.
responders. This tragedy has captivated the nation’s attention for several weeks now. There have been heartfelt speeches made by national, state and local officials, as well as community leaders, calling for change. There have also been passionate position statements and letters supported by many national and state organizations outlining the need for preventative steps moving forward. School-based violence such as this illustrates a dimension of the work law enforcement professionals may be expected to perform. Tragedy in our schools is unfathomable and, as a father, I have always felt that my children were safest while in our Hanover schools. This has not changed — I continue to feel that our children are safest while they are in our schools as opposed to being

BANDSTAND
ing a “Soul Train” lineup, a staple in the long-running TV program, is planned. “We are very lucky that Randolph-Macon continues to allow us to share their facility, which means not just letting us use it the week of the show,” Watson said.
Joe Mattys, the head of the college’s Drama Department, arranges his spring semester so the show, including rehearsal dates, accommodates his schedule. Rehearsals got underway on Monday, Jan. 14, for the variety show The “black box theater” is rearranged to accommodate 725 people each night for the variety show. Watson and Foley said they are fortunate to have the ongoing support of R-MC president Robert Lindgren and Sara Holloway, president of HAAC’s board. The two share their enthusiasm for performances by Hanover Idol Lindsey Coggins, a Lee-Davis High School senior, as well as Junior Idol Faith Gitchell, a Chickahominy Middle School student. Community involvement is integral to the show’s continued success.
Watson and Foley said Lenora Davis, music director at Shiloh Baptist Church, will participate and James Lynn and Charles Waltrip will lead the traditional singing of “Ashland, Ashland.” For the two women, they know that the variety show provides an opportunity for “lots of people who just enjoy having a good time together.” There will be some sentimentality in the 2013 production as time is taken to remember Ira Andrews, who died last year. He had shared his talents through the years as a soloist and member of a four-part men’s harmony group. For more information on the Ashland Musical Variety Show, call 804-798-2728 or visit www.hanoverarts.org. The show is sponsored by the Hanover Arts and Activities Center at 500 S.

OPINION | The Local Views

From the editor
New year means time to renew ‘relationships’ Our relationship goes back at least 10 years and yet one of us is usually neglected. But, hey, who isn’t guilty of turning their back on exercise equipment? The relationship here is with Mr. Treadmill. He has been patient. He has been most agreeable in the moves associated with changes in employment. As a matter of fact, we have shared five addresses together. But, alas, he has been pretty much ignored since 2008 when I arrived in Mechanicsville. We were good friends in Winchester — at least the last year there. And now it’s a new year and, like so many, the time has come to implement resolutions. OK, we are two weeks into 2013, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to resolve and commit. So, here goes (and this makes it official since it’s in print): Dear Mr. Treadmill, we are going to become reacquainted. We are going to become the best of friends. You look so lonely in that room. While the weight loss program (just over two years now) continues, the increase in activity (code for exercise) is the goal for 2013. Since weight loss was last addressed here, the total is -135 pounds. Yes, I’ve lost a person in weight. When I reach the goal I have set for myself, I will probably have lost a linebacker in size. The reality is (and I have proof having seen my family physician a week ago) that losing weight does improve one’s health. We’ve read it, heard it, seen, and lived it. This writer’s health is better than it’s been in decades. Yes, you read that right: decades. Some would ask: Isn’t that a personal topic to put in this public forum? My response: We are a fat society — we all see it. It’s been a real eye-opener to one who was overweight (hate the term morbidly obese even when it’s accurate) for far too many years. We can change our lifestyles. It’s a mindset. It’s about portion control. It’s about exercise. So, hello, Mr. Treadmill. You are my new best friend. And it’s going to be a long-term relationship. And, for the record, I do have the “before” photo. It’s a reminder of not only where I’ve been but where I’m going — and that’s a longer life. Melody Kinser

Thanks for support and commitment to Hilliard House On behalf of the staff, board and women and children of Hilliard House, I would like to thank you for your generous contribution to the Deck the Halls event in support of Hilliard House. Your commitment in helping the homeless in our community is sincerely appreciated. Deck the Halls has become a very special tradition for many of us at Hilliard House and our hope is that it also has become a very special tradition in your house. One of Hilliard House’s clients had this to say about Deck the Halls: “Hilliard House has been such a blessing this holiday season. I took my children out to Ashland for Deck the Halls this year. The quality time we spent together making decorations and drinking cocoa on a beautiful farm was priceless. It was overwhelming to see so much of the community come out and support Hilliard House. It means so much to use and families to come.” – Christine, client Thank you again for your gift that has an important place in helping us keep our community working. Ross S. Altenbaugh Executive director Hilliard House Henrico
Rural living isn’t what it used to be in Hanover
on a dog not only takes care of your “problem” but leaves a father explaining to his son why his dog isn’t coming home. Some of us love our dogs and play with them on a daily basis they aren’t just hunting dogs to us, they are part of our family, they are our pets, they are best friends, and loyal companions. I understand a dog wandering unto your property is frustrating, especially if you don’t want them there. However, please give that hunter an opportunity to retrieve his dog or allow law enforcement to intervene before you take matters into your own hands. I am a respectful hunter and do my best to treat others as I would want to be treated, but my family and I are completely broken-hearted to have to bury my son’s dog because he wandered unto the wrong property on the wrong day. Please remember this is still considered rural living and wandering dogs are a part of life here as long as I can remember — and just so you’re not caught off guard so are skunks, foxes, possums and raccoons. It’s just the nature of the area we choose to live in. So, please, before you shoot someone’s pet, please think there may be someone who loves that animal and would be more than willing to right the wrong done to you or your property if given the opportunity. I cannot ever explain to my son that his dog isn’t coming back and that I was never given the opportunity to save a part of our family. DJ Wright Mechanicsville

to Canova Peterson, Sean Davis, Wayne Hazzard, Ed Via, Angela Kelly-Wiecek, Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley and Elton Wade, members of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors;County Administrator Cecil R. Harris Jr.; Planning Director David Maloney; and Gordon Silver, chair, Hanover Democratic Committee.) Dear Mr. Rives, As you know, the Hanover Democratic Committee has voiced its concerns about the Hanover Board of Supervisors’ vote eliminating future proffers on new development and its stated intent to remove more than $47 million in pre-existing proffers upon a review of zoning cases with pre-existing proffers. We feel that elimination of proffers and pre-existing proffers will drastically impact Hanover’s ability to support roads and schools generated by new development and until now, paid for by developers’ fees or proffers. We also object to the manner in which the proffer issue was decided . . . without a public hearing and during the holiday season when residents were focused on family and friends
in preparation for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Now we have another concern: I have been reviewing the pre-existing proffers which are going to be readvertised and go through the zoning process again, with the supervisors’ stated intent to eliminate them. It appears that at least one subdivision with pre-existing proffers is owned by South Anna District Supervisor Wayne Hazzard along with James A. “Sonny” Hill, one of Mr. Hazzard’s major campaign contributors. This property was rezoned by the Board of Supervisors on Feb. 27, 2008, under the name of the Diamond Group whose president is Mr. Hill and secretary/treasurer, Mr. Hazzard. The parcel, GPIN 874255-3529, known as McClellan’s Meadow, involves 159+ acres off of Fox Hunter Lane in the Cold Harbor District, near McClellan Road. According to county records, Mr. Hazzard and Mr. Hill’s subdivision has more than $413,000 in pre-existing proffers. In addition, on his 2011 Financial Interest Statement, Mr. Hazzard notes that he owns more than $250,000 in stock in the Diamond Group. Unquestionably, Mr. Hazzard’s vote and participation Glen Allen-2.25 Acres $289,000

in the proffer and pre-existing proffer issue is self serving. But our question for you is whether his involvement in this issue goes beyond the level of being self serving. Does Mr. Hazzard’s participation in the discussion and vote on proffers and pre-existing proffers constitute a Conflict of Interest since he owns property with more than $413,000 in pre-existing proffers? Thank you for your consideration of this matter. We look forward to your reply as we continue to research pre-existing proffers. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter.

Swapping ability coming to an end
when her collar gave way. As a result, she ran across the street and then returned back, only to get hit by a car just at the end of our driveway. It was around 5:30 p.m. and was dark, and Macy is black in color. The driver, who we do not fault in any way, did stop and a few other people stopped to help as well. Our son, who happened to be at our house, scooped her up and immediately drove her to Mechanicsville Veterinary Hospital on Lee Park Drive, across from Lee-Davis High School. Upon his arrival, they placed Macy on a stretcher and took her quickly inside. Tests were run and they stabilized her so that we could transport her to a 24-hour emergency care veterinary, The Dogwood, on Broad Street. Because of their quick actions, wonderful care and the phenomenal care from The Dogwood, Macy is still alive and able to be loved and care for by us. Macy broke her pelvis in two places, had surgery, has cuts and abrasions, and came very close to losing her life. With deep gratitude, our family thanks Mechanicsville Veterinary Hospital for their quick actions and their fantastic recommendation to take her to The Dogwood.

To the people in our Mechanicsville community: Did you know the swapping of items and maybe books is coming to an end at the landfill recycling station on Verdi Lane? I understand a company will be sitting waiting for your items. There will be no more free things to be looked over and taken by people who can use them. This was a good way in sharing with each other things we couldn’t use, but someone else could. And the best of it all, it was free to the community.

Mideast. No one will ever be held accountable for Fast and Furious, Benghazi, or any of the other scandals that will erupt from the pustule of corruption that is Inside the Beltway. The burgeoning energy industry that has the potential to lift America out of its economic tailspin will be throttled as the coal industry, the fracking boom, and oil shale are all regulated to death. We will pour billions down the green energy rat hole, building industries that cannot produce enough energy to exist without government support. ObamaCare will destroy the insurance industry and eventually a single-payer system will consign the rest of us to standing in lines in converted gymnasiums for impersonal care while our leaders take limousines and private jets to the Mayo Clinic all on our dime. Industry will continue to flow out as foreign made goods flow in as more imbalanced trade agreements are called free. We will be monitored by drones, wire taps and computers as Big Brother extends his grasp till freedom becomes just another name for nothing left to lose. This may be the New America that awaits us in 2013. Our families, friends and neighbors have voted for it, and we all get to live in it: Oh, happy days are here again. W.S. Wright Hanover
Downward spiral must be stopped America is in a downward spiral that must be stopped.
But for those of us who serve a Creator God, becoming discouraged and giving up is simply not an option. We all sense something is terribly wrong in America — but what? There is a lot of soul-searching going on about our nation’s decline and there are many underlying factors impacting America’s increasing darkness. But for people of faith – patriotic, God-fearing men and women like you and me – our nation’s spiritual health is the core of the problem. The fact is, our country has displaced God as our foundation. God is being systematically removed from all public venues, including our government buildings, courts and public schools. The mere mention of God is increasingly discouraged in public discourse. References to God – and to our nation’s religious heritage – are being removed in a massive promotion of revisionist history. Two months ago, for the first time in our history, a plurality of Americans voted for a party platform that intentionally omitted God and advanced many positions that the Bible specifically condemns. Groups like the American Civil Liberties Union and AmericansUnitedforSeparation of Church and State – and even our own government in many instances – are uniting to create dissension between Christianity and civil government. The Founders believed that removing God’s primacy from any society and its government will inevitably lead to that society’s downfall. They never would have included such a thought in our governing docu-

Millions of Americans have looked evil in the eye and are now openly adopting it. Abortion, same-sex marriage, massive debt and unrestrained immorality carried the 2012 general election. The America we love is sick and in need of renewal and healing. Leslie Zodun Mechanicsville

Tea Party leader: misconceptions In regards to Harley Bradshaw’s request to “take down the yellow signs,� there is an old adage, “Be careful when you open your mouth so as to not confirm how little you know.� Recent attacks by our critics confirm this long-held suspicion. Involved since the TEA Party’s early days, I have had to frequently correct the many misconceptions people have about who we are and what our goals are. Initially we were portrayed as racists and violent Neanderthals only wanting to cling to our guns and religion. This stereotype was helped along by a complicit and duped media determined to further the progressive agenda, and if harming people’s reputations and character, or lying furthered that purpose, so be it. Nothing would stand in the way. I often joke when asked

The Hanover Pound at 12471 Taylor Complex Lane in Ashland has this dog and cat for adoption. “Ned� is am 8- to 10-year-old male yellow lab. He gets along with other dogs. Ned is an older boy, who is very friendly and has so much love to share. He is looking for his special person to call his own. He is up-to-date on all his shots and has been neutered. He is heartworm (negative). “Missy� is a 10-year-old DSH Calico. She gets along with other cats and seems to do okay with dogs. She is a couch potato; she could sit all day and let you brush her. Missy has been with the Hanover Pound since May and really would love to find that couch or lap to call her own. She is up-to-date on all shots and has been spayed. She is FELV/FIV (negative). So, if you have room in your heart for an older pet, come see Ned or Missy. For more information on adopting Hank or Stormy, or any of the other animals at the Hanover Pound, call 365-6485. You also can visit the website to see other animals available for adoption at http://hanovercounty.animalshelternet.com/.

“What does one have to do to belong to a TEA Party?” Well, can you do basic math, “Do you believe America is an exceptional nation, is the government’s role in our lives properly limited to select functions? Yes, yes and yes gets you in. Our critics come from several factions of the world of politics. Some are simply opponents of our philosophy of limited government, adherence to the Constitution, and fiscal responsibility. In their world if you support responsible behavior, either personally or by government, you are an “extremist.” Career politicians don’t like us because we teach people of
the dangers of leaving any elected official in office for too long, regardless of party. Crony capitalists who parade around under the façade of being a conservative don’t like us because we are exposing the cynical connections to their pals in power who line their pockets with favored subsidies and or largesse bestowed on their political connections, often done through the tax code. Before you put much stock into the words of our critics, ask them just one question: Have you ever attended a TEA Party meeting? If they say “No,” refer back to the opening sentence.

Rabies vaccination clinic set Saturday at EHRS All dogs and cats (including so-called “barn cats”) are required by law to be vaccinated for rabies at four months of age. You also must have tags and a valid license proving the vaccination. Hanover Animal Control makes it easy for people to get their pets vaccinated by holding rabies vaccination clinics throughout the fall and winter. Vaccines will be administered at a cost of $7 per dog or
cat, less than you would pay normally when taking your pet to the veterinarian for a shot. All clinics are from 9 a.m. to noon. They will be held at: ✓ Saturday, Jan. 19, 2013, at the East Hanover Rescue Squad at 8105 Walnut Grove Road in Mechanicsville. ✓ Saturday, Feb. 16, 2013, at the Montpelier Center for Arts and Education at 17205 Mountain Road in Montpelier.

“We get a trophy and a banner as a team and then we order national championship rings,” Gonzalez said. “It’s really cool and in the cheerleading world it’s a huge deal. I’ve gotten a lot of recognition in cheerleading magazines and stuff like that.” Gonzalez also was a member of Louisville’s all-girl team that captured three All Star Cheerleading world championships. “It’s really just putting it all together and having the stamina to get through a 2minute and 30-second routine with all of the elements that are required,” she said, “and also
keeping your nerves together is a lot of the challenge too. A lot of people crack under pressure and the fact that we do only have 2 minutes and 30 seconds to show what we worked for, it’s really hard for some people to keep it together and not mess up.” These days, Gonzalez said she is “coaching at a cheerleading gym and looking for a day job.” She has simple advice for those who aspire to become accomplished cheerleaders: “Do it because you love it and just enjoy every second because it goes by,” she said. “It goes by quick.”
that can be raised, but, I believe that, when we are speaking about the safety of our children, we are also speaking about the health of our community, and our charge is to tend to both.
With our focus on the community as well as our schools, a balance of complementary priorities must be met. It is widely believed that Newtown, Conn., was a safe and secure community. However, it serves as a harsh reminder that tragedy can strike anywhere. As such, we cannot be complacent and must explore the best options to provide the safest environment for our children. These are the conversations we have had with our schools and our community for many years. These are the conversations we need to continue as we go forward. How do we continue to enhance the safety and security of our children, in our schools, at home and in our community? I believe these sorts of questions will lead us to examine the deeper issues of community and the positive impact of partnerships. As we begin the New Year, I hope we can heal from this tragedy and learn from it so that such an event never occurs in our community. We can all play an important role in making this hope a reality. I know you join me in sending condolences, prayers and love to our fellow citizens and the families in Newtown and, like me, are dedicated to helping shape the path forward.

More than 1,600 black American high school seniors, including Davin M. Stancil of Atlee High School, have been designated semifinalists in the 49th annual National Achievement Scholarship Program, according to an announcement by National Merit Scholarship Corporation (nmsc) officials. Stancil resides in Mechanicsville. These scholasticallytalented young men and women now have an opportunity to continue in the competition for about 800 Achievement Scholarship® awards worth more than $2.5 million that will be offered next spring. To be considered for a National Achievement Scholarship, semifinalists must fulfill several requirements to advance to the finalist level of the competition. About 80 percent of semifinalists are expected to attain finalist standing, and more than half of the finalists will win an Achievement Scholarship award. The National Achievement Scholarship Program, conducted by nmsc, is a privately financed academic competition that operates without government assistance. It was initiated in 1964 to recognize academically promising black students throughout the nation and to provide scholarships to a substantial number of the most outstanding program participants.
To date, more than 31,900 young men and women have received Achievement Scholarship awards worth more than $100 million. About the 2013 Competition More than 160,000 high school juniors from all parts of the United States requested consideration in the 2013 National Achievement Scholarship Program when they took the 2011 Preliminary sat/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (psat/nmsqt®). Semifinalists are designated within geographic regions and are the highest-scoring program entrants in the states that make up each region. To advance to the finalist level in the competition, the semifinalist and their high school must submit a detailed scholarship application in which they provide information about the student’s academic record, participation in school and community activities, demonstrated leadership abilities and educational goals. Semifinalists must present a record of high academic performance throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended by a high school official, write an essay, and earn sat scores that confirm their psat/nmsqt performance. From the nearly 1,600 semifinalists, about 1,300 are expected to advance to the finalist level and in January they will be notified of this designation. see ATLEE, pg. 30

He told School Board members this budget achieves a goal of “weaning the system off onetime revenue sources,” referring to stimulus funds. He also said deficits in past years depended on a rainy day
fund established by the system to offset oncoming budget issues several years ago. Thornton said that reserve is exhausted after this year’s balancing act.

More importantly, I will represent the people of Hanover County in the best manner I possibly can.” It’s also departure time for Deputy County Administrator

Joe Casey, who addressed the board with his final presentation at last week’s meeting. The 22-year veteran began his career as assistant finance director. The board recognized that service with a proclamation, and the supervisors thanked Casey for his leadership that is widely credited with maintaining Hanover County’s AAA rating. Casey heads to Henrico County for a similar position. County Attorney Sterling E. Rives III provided a legislative update as the General Assembly convenes in Richmond, and there was positive news for Hanover. Rives said Gov. Bob McDonnell intends to repeal a law that required localities to make up lost revenue in the state budget. County Administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr. said it should account for additional money in county coffers. Dr. Tom Franck, Hanover’s
new health director, presented an update on services provided by his department. He also addressed a timely issue in the form of a county flu report. He said reported cases are on the rise and local emergency rooms are busy with influenza patients. “Obviously, we know that influenza has already hit us hard in our community and the United States,” Franck said. “It’s been widespread now for four weeks. This represents a very early onset of our influenza epidemic. It’s going to be a bad influenza year.” He said there have been three reported deaths in the county, all of them associated with one of the three concentrated institutional outbreaks. Franck said the best defense against the flu is annual immunizations, better known as flu shots. “The flu vaccine is effective most of the time, and, if it doesn’t eliminate you getting
Outgoing HCBOS chair reviews term (Editor’s note: The following statement was made by G. Ed Via III last Wednesday as he left the office of chair for the Hanover County Board of Supervisors.) My fellow supervisors: It has been my distinct honor and privilege to serve as chairman for 2012. With four new supervisors on the board, we’ve moved through the year tackling many important
issues and generating accomplishments such as the county budget and finance, maintaining our AAA bond rating, eliminating cash profers and the lobbying against the toll on [Interstate] 95. The initial year for them is over and no longer are these four “new” supervisors; we are now all “seasoned” supervisors working together in the best interest of the county. As we move for-
ward looking at 2013, the economic downturn still impacts our county. Sound fiscal practices will remain a priority as we strive to maintain our level of services to the citizens of Hanover County. I have the highest hopes and expectations for 2013, the Board of Supervisors and the staff as I turn the gavel over to new chairman Canova Peterson and wish to us all the best.
the flu, it can at least reduce the system while you are getting over it,” he said. Public Works director Mike Flagg sought board approval to advertise a public hearing regarding an upcoming county application addressing multiple daily loads (MS-4). Flagg said it’s a step toward county compliance with new
regulations regarding storm water and runoff pollutants. Finance director Kathleen Seay also presented her update and said the county’s financial outlook is stable. Factors enabling the county to maintain a AAA bond rating include the history of a sound financial performance, low debt, solid economic indicators
and affordable pension costs. Hanover was the smallest county in the nation to receive the coveted AAA rating from Moody’s, a credit rating agency. Seay said the county’s debt service will decline in the next five years and should allow officials to consider larger longterm projects like a new library and courthouse.

budget would not accommodate raises for county teachers, although Gov. Bob McDonnell’s education bill targets a 2 percent increase for limited positions. Wilson said extending that increase system-wide would require an additional $2.7 million increase in the budget. There was some good news for school employees as Wilson said healthcare co-pays will remain level. Wilson said 75 percent of the reductions were considered before student-teacher ratio was on the table.
As for the proposed 12 cuts to high school positions, Wilson said teachers are moving to an adjusted period schedule that will allow each teacher to supervise one more class. It also allows students an opportunity to obtain more credits as high school graduation standards increase. A public hearing and budget workshop session is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Jan. 22, at the Central Office. The proposed budget is scheduled for approval at a special meeting set for 6 p.m. on Tuesday, Feb. 19.

Thornton addressed the lower revenue figures, including the local contribution. “We’re operating at 2007 local resource levels,” he said. Thornton said the proposed increased student teacher ratios would only result in a slight increase in that computation. Currently, the rate in Hanover is 21.6:1. That would increase to 22:1 under the 2013-2014 budget proposal. Wilson said the current

Hanover’s Josh Harris, right, draws contact from Varina’s Brandon Wood, Devon Dowling and Javalais Wright on a drive to the basket. The Hawks set the nets ablaze, racing out to an early 205 lead over the Blue Devils but could not hold on down the stretch, falling 67-55.
Dominant early, Hanover can’t close the door on Varina By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com When they are on their game and playing as a team, the Hanover boys basketball squad can be scary-good. When they’re not, the opposite holds true. On Friday night, the Hawks demonstrated both personalities against visiting Varina,
ranked No. 9 in the TimesDispatch poll. Hanover blew out of the gates from the opening tip, getting steals, dishing out assists and connecting on virtually every shot they put up to take a 7-0 lead 44 seconds into the contest. That margin stretched to 20-5 before the Blue Devils (10-6, 4-3 Capital) began to
regroup four minutes later. “It’s a beautiful thing to watch and that’s what I tell them because we’ve got so many guys that can do so many things,” said Hanover head coach Darren Thornton. “We play together, it’s hard to stop us and it’s a beautiful thing to watch.” Varina coach Donald Peyton see HAWKS, pg. 33 `

Bridgewater’s Kenneth Waugh (34) winces in pain as his leg gets caught beneath RandolphMacon’s Marcus Badger (3). Waugh was uninjured and went on to hit a go-head 3-pointer that ended R-MC’s 30-game home winning streak, 66-62.
By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The Randolph-Macon men’s basketball team has displayed a disturbing trend over the beginning of 2013. Despite facing far inferior opponents, the Yellow Jackets, have lost focus and gave up substantial leads only to battle back and get the win. On Saturday, against the not so inferior ODAC opposition of Bridgewater, that loss of
focus came back to bite R-MC. A miserable second half shooting translated into defense lapses that allowed the Eagles to claim a 66-62 victory. More notably, it was the first time R-MC fell in Crenshaw Gym since a 59-57 loss to Virginia Wesleyan on Dec. 1, 2010. After trailing for a majority of the second half, R-MC retook the lead 62-61 with 1:47 to
play when senior guard Lamar Giggetts scored on the put-back of his own miss and was fouled. But the Jackets could not capitalize on opportunities to widen the margin down the stretch. Giggetts missed the ensuing free throw then following a Bridgewater turnover and foul one minute later, junior forward Andre Simon also missed a pair of freebies.

Latrell Scott named head coach at VSU By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com On Monday morning, Latrell Scott was named the 23rd head football coach at Virginia State University. Scott, a graduate of Lee-Davis High School, brings 12 years of coaching experience to the Trojans including stints as position coach at the University of Tennessee, the University of Virginia, the University of Richmond and VMI. In 2010, Scott was named the head coach at UR but resigned prior to the 2011 season after being arrested for a DUI. Last season, Scott served as the tight ends coach at James Madison University. While Scott wanted once again to become a head football coach, however, he was not open to accepting a job just anywhere. “It had to be the right fit,” he said. From his discussions with the VSU administration, Scott understood the university was committed to rebuilding a football program that went 4-6 in 2012. His first goal is to change the perceptions of VSU. “When you look at the beauty of Virginia

Former Lee-Davis player Latrell Scott and his wife Brandi pose with a Virginia State University football jersey. On Monday morning, Scott was named the head football coach at VSU and welcomed by University President Keith T. Miller, far left and Athletic Director Peggy Davis, right.
State and you look at all this place has to offer, you understand that this place is a hidden gem. “We want to continue to make this place one of the better places in the state of Virginia, in the CIAA, in the NCAA and in
all of college football because we believe this place is as special as any other,” Scott said. VSU Athletic Director Peggy Davis indicated Scott was one of many qualified candidates for the job and he was named head coach because of the openness
and integrity he displayed. “He’s a proven winner and that’s certainly the direction we are looking to move our football program in this year,” she said. Davis also pointed out Scott brings an important local tie to the football program. “He’s
been in the community for a number of years,” she said. ““It means a great deal because it allows those kids in Richmond to know that Latrell’s right down the street.” Junior wide receiver Sean Smith, out of Atlanta’s Luther King High School, did not know much about Scott prior to meeting the coach over the weekend. Smith said Scott earned the players’ respect by being open with them about why he left UR. “He told us all about it,” Smith said. “I think everybody makes mistakes and you just have to move forward. He has a new job coaching us as a football team and we’re just going to move on.” Scott spent a few hours in open discussion with the Trojans on Sunday afternoon then involved them in a group activity. “We did something together that a lot of players and coaches don’t do,” Scott said. “We went and restructured our weight room.” Though not yet prepared to unveil this coaching staff, Scott feels it will be impressive. “I am in the process of assembling one of the better coaching staffs
I’ve ever been around,” he said. “It’s going to be an elite group of guys.” Scott also plans to concentrate on the recruitment of local players. The Trojan squad currently has 11 players from the Richmond area on its roster with 10 of them being sophomores or freshmen. Lee-Davis alum, sophomore Brandon Robinson, led the Trojan defense with 33 tackles in 2012. “We need to make sure we have a local, regional and national approach to this thing,” Scott said, pointing out the hotbed of high school talent along nearby Route 10. “When people come to Petersburg to see us play, there’s going to be a decided local product making sure we have the ability to be the best that we can be.”

C-feds take second in Deep Run Duals By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local Twenty teams descended upon Deep Run High School and Twin Hickory Elementary School Friday and Saturday for a massive wrestling meet; the Deep Run Duals.

they lost only one match, to tournament champion Stafford. Before the Confederates, who finished 6-1, could claim the second-place trophy, they needed to defeat fellow Capital District competitor Glen Allen in a closely fought match. The Jaguars finished third, followed by host Deep Run and Varina. Lee-Davis coach Craig Spruill was pleased by the progress in the Confederates’ performance in the week since the Capital District Duals. “A lot of improvement from
The Mechanicsville Local January 16, 2013
last weekend,” Spruill said. “The guys wrestled harder. The guys are looking to get better every week.” A willingness to learn has played a large part in their improvement. “Every time a kid loses they’re coming and asking questions,” Spruill said. “‘What can I do to get in better shape?’ or ‘What can I do to improve here or here – in every position?’ They just come in the room to work every week.” The Confederates were led by Most Outstanding Wrestler
award winner Tyler Wooten at 120 pounds, Sawyer Barksdale at 126 pounds, Reid Hues at 132 pounds and David Boyle at 160 pounds, all of whom went undefeated – 7-0 –over the weekend. Stafford claimed the title outright by its defeat of LeeDavis in the Confederates’ first match of the day Saturday.

felt his Blue Devils did their part to contribute to Hanover’s early run. “We put some turnovers out there in front of them to get and they took advantage of them,” he said. “That’s what really put us down early in the game. We knew they were going to be tough regardless.” In the fourth quarter, Hanover (6-4, 2-4) turned in a mirror-opposite performance; unable to connect on shots, missing free throws and turning the ball over. Leading 49-44 going into the fourth, the Hawks were out-scored 24-6 en-route to a heart-breaking 67-55 loss. “We started out high energy making plays, getting turnovers,” said Hanover forward Josh Harris. “Then the second half it just flipped sides basically.” After gaining the early lead, Thornton felt his team lost focus. “Those things that we talk about really, we beat ourselves a lot,” he said. “I think every game we’ve lost, it wasn’t the other team doing it, it was more our doing

That opened the door for Eagles’ junior forward to put Bridgewater back on top to stay with a contested 3-pointer with 32 seconds remaining. R-MC had a chance to retake the lead but Giggetts missed on a layup and Waugh was fouled on the rebound, making both free throws to create the final score. Though the Yellow Jackets suffered through a miserable second half (27.3 percent field goals, 27.3 percent 3-point range, 40 percent free throws), the tone was set late in the first half. Despite shooting a blistering 59.3 percent from the floor, R-MC only held a two point lead at the half largely due to giving up 11 points on seven turnovers and allowing eight second chance points by the Eagles. The Jackets also allowed
it. That’s something that we’ve definitely got to fix.” In each of their games against the Capital District’s top teams, Armstrong, Henrico, Highland Springs and Varina, Hanover has displayed the potential to come away with the victory and instead came away winless against the foursome in the first go-round. “We definitely need to learn for that second time around because we’re definitely beating ourselves,” Thornton said. “I’m still very confident about going around for the second time with all of those teams because I think we can beat all of those teams. We’ve just got to stay together and we’ve got to stay hungry defensively.” Senior guard Trayvonte Brown (17 points, 5 steals) put on a show in the first 1:19 of play against Varina, connecting on a 3-pointer, a layup after a steal, and scoring off a dish from Donte Haynesworth to give the Hawks a 9-0 lead. Varina’s Brandon Ingram finally got the Blue Devils on the board but it was the team’s only
field goal in the first 4:38 of play. Meanwhile, Jordan Wade (18 points) drilled a 3-pointer from the top of the key, Harris a three from the right baseline, a Wade layup, a looping shot from Haynesworth and free throw from Harris gave the Hawks a 20-5 lead before Varina began to regroup. The Blue Devils closed out the quarter on a 9-6 run to pull within 26-14. The Hawks showed early signs of losing focus at the start of the second quarter when Brown was whistled for a charge on a made basket. It was the first of five offensive fouls by Hanover in the game. Still, the Hawks continued to get strong defensive play from football players Brennan Gary, Harris and Haynesworth. “Those are defensive guys plus they can shoot the ball also,” Thornton said. “Their defensive mentality I think they bring that from football because that’s what they show in football—defense wins and that’s the thing, we’ve got to understand and play that defense for 32 minutes.”
Haynesworth agreed. “A lot of us have been on many championship teams and I think we’ve brought that mentality to basketball,” he said. Varina continued to chip away at the lead and the fouls continued to mount for Hanover. By halftime the Blue Devils were within 10, 37-27 but Harris, and center Chris Gilliam were both saddled with three fouls. Haynesworth picked up his third and fourth fouls within 15 seconds of each other at the start of the third quarter. Less than a minute into the fourth, Harris, Gilliam and Wade had all joined him with four fouls each. Varina took advantage by working the ball inside to their big men, Ingram (16 points), Tony Lofton (11 points) and Javalais Wright (8 points). “We knew they were going to be coming up pressing us a little bit,” Peyton said. “Once we broke the press we had guys back in position to score. So that was one thing that really helped us because we were able to convert those.”
Meanwhile, Hanover was not only missing shots from the floor but the free throw line as well where they went 5-of-10 in the second half. “We just weren’t making shots in the second half,” Harris said. “We were playing hard we just need to play harder.” Varina started the final quarter with a 8-3 run to tie the game at 52 with 4:18 remaining. The Blue Devils took their first lead 27 seconds later on an inside basket from Lofton and did not look back, outscoring Hanover 13-3 in the final three minutes. “We’ve just got to focus on the little things,” Haynesworth said. “We let that get to head and start missing shots, every body started getting mad. We can’t let that happen.” Though Varina turned their game up a notch down the stretch, Thornton did not feel that the Blue Devils could have come away with the win if not for Hanover’s help. “I always warn our guys; I say the team that can hurt us is the team that’s in this room right now,” he said. “That’s the thing
that I always worry about—us not staying focused, us not being satisfied, different things like that. We want to stay hungry and stay after it defensively that we don’t lose sight of that where we’re just think offensively.” Nearing the second half of their Capital District slate, the Hawks know exactly what they need to do to come away with wins. It is just a matter of implementing that knowledge. “I think all of us get on the same page,” Haynesworth said. “Everyone have the same mentality as a team instead of worrying about points or playing time.”
Bridgewater to claim a 20-13 rebounding edge including 11 offensive boards. “We started off slow and they got a bit of confidence in the first half and offensive rebounds,” said senior center Dylan Cole “We didn’t hit them and they got their confidence up and just played well.” Giggetts agreed. “It was those offensive boards gave us a lot of problems,” he said. R-MC connected on the first five shots it took and did not miss until nearly five minutes into the game. Meanwhile, six of Bridgewater’s first seven points were on put-backs. “It’s definitely frustrating, but there’s nothing we can do about it,” Cole said. “We’ve just got keep playing defense, running our offense.” With 2:24 minutes remaining in the half, R-MC could not capitalize on an opportunity to open
up the game. Leading 35-32, Simon missed on two layups and Marcus Badger turned the ball over. To make things worse, the Jackets’ defense left Bridgewater’s best 3-point shooter, Tavis Stapleton, wide open beyond the arc where he connected with 14 seconds remaining to pull the Eagles within 37-35. “They get two more layups, turn it over and gave up an open look to their best 3-point shooter,” said R-MC head coach Nathan Davis. “You do those things and instead of a chance to go up eight, nine, 10 at the half, you’re up two. And it’s a 20 minute game and it’s just a matter of who makes more plays and they made more plays in the second half. We didn’t do enough to win the game.” At the start of the second half, Bridgewater quickly tied the game then took the lead as R-MC missed their first five
shots and turned the ball over three times. Giggetts led all scorers with 23 points and seven rebounds while Connor Sullivan added 10 points and two steals. Stapleton led the Eagles with 17 points. Ed Reddick added 14 points and 12 rebounds in the contest for BC. The road gets no easier for R-MC as they travel to archrival Hampden-Sydney on Wednesday night. The Yellow Jackets hope the home loss will help get their attention. “Hopefully it will focus us more,” Cole said. “We can’t keep playing like this. Something’s got to change. The sooner it changes the better. “We’ve got to figure out if we want to be good or be just another team,” Cole said. After the Dec. 2010 loss, R-MC bounced back to close
out the season 21-3, winning the ODAC Championship and advancing to the second round of the NCAA Tournament. “Hopefully this will light a fire under us so we can come back and win the rest of our games,” Giggetts said. “We know we’ve got to fix some things.” The game marked the return of 7-foot center Hunter Fromang, who has been sidelined while recovering from injury. Fromang did not play in the contest and Davis said it will be a while until he is back in game-shape. “He’s getting better able to get up and down the floor a little bit,” he said. “Two back surgeries it takes a while to come back.” Sophomore Joe Hassell was absent from Saturday’s game due to a family illness.

Yellow Jackets get character-building win Contribution from entire team sees R-MC down SU
www.mechlocal.com See slideshow online!
By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The young, RandolphMacon women’s basketball team picked up a character-building win last Tuesday night when they downed visiting Shenandoah 70-69 in Old Dominion Athletic Conference action. The victory was only the second of the year for the Yellow Jackets (2-11, 2-3 ODAC), but it provided evidence that the team came into 2013 dedicated to turning things around. For the first time this season, every player on the R-MC roster logged minutes in the game and contributed to the win. “We laid our hearts on the floor together as a team,” said Yellow Jackets head coach Carroll LaHaye. “I honestly have to say that that hasn’t happened in some of our other closer games. I think that was a big reason for our victory.” Sophomore forward Caroline Young agreed. “We finally played team basketball and that’s what we’ve been trying to all the time,” she said. “It was great to put it all together.” Though Macon has led in many games this season, they have been unable to close the door on opponents. “We may have had games where we might even go up eight or nine points and then have the other team score and go ahead and we never can recover,” LaHaye said. “That’s sort of been the story of our season.” On Tuesday, R-MC wrote a new chapter in their story. The Yellow Jackets and Hornets were on different trajectories coming into the contest. R-MC, which starts three

freshman and two sophomores, had lost six straight games while Shenandoah had bounced back from a 1-6 start to win four straight. During the holiday break, the players made a commitment to make a change in 2013. “We had said from the beginning of the New Year, this is a new year and it’s a turnaround for us,” said sophomore guard Sarah Parsons. The game certainly marked a return to form for Parsons, who has not played like herself since breaking her ankle over the summer. Against Shenandoah, Parsons scrapped and clawed her way to lead all scorers with 18 points, two rebounds, two assists, two steals and no turnovers in 27 minutes of action. “I knew that coming into the New Year, I hadn’t done as well as I wanted the first half of the season and I try not to blame it on my ankle but I think you have to,” she said. “So, I thought it would be a New Year so I really wanted to come out and play 100 percent and have a game like I did last year and I think tonight was finally my breakthrough night.” LaHaye was happy to see

Parsons’ return to style. “I thought she did a great job and you could see the old Sarah,” the coach said. “I was really proud of her.” Also for the first time this season, Macon stayed in the game from start to finish. The contest featured 12 ties and 15 lead changes but the play of the Yellow Jackets made sure the average margin separating the two teams was three points. “I think it was nice for us to get this close win too because of that,” said guard Madison Dulaney, the lone senior on this year’s squad. “We’ve been in close games and we’ve come back and we’ve come back and it was nice to finally get over that hump.” But getting over the hump wasn’t easy. R-MC pulled out to a four point lead twice in the second half only to see the Hornets retie the game. Yet, the Jackets demonstrated their new found confidence down the stretch as the game went through three ties and a two lead changes in the final minute of play. Tied at 66, Young rebounded a missed layup by freshman
Khajae Hester. Shenandoah’s Imani Heggins, who led the Hornets with 15 points, picked up her fifth foul on Young going for the ball. Though Young missed the first free throw she connected on the second to put R-MC on top 67-66 with 45 seconds to play. On the other end of the court, Young, who finished the night with nine points, eight rebounds, one assist, one block, one steal, and no turnovers in 25 minutes of action, pulled down a Hornet miss and fed the ball to Parsons. SU’s Holly Chittenden (8 rebounds) picked up her fifth foul and Parsons connected on one of two free throws to push the lead to two with 20 seconds to play. Still, the young Jackets had a chance to fold when Sarah D’Amico put the Hornets back on top with 13 seconds remaining on a three point play when she was fouled by Hester on a made layup. LaHaye called timeout to set up a play before D’Amico, who was 5-for-5 on free throws, went to the line. “They had shot well all night, (91.7 percent) so
I just said, ‘Once she makes the free throw, Hannah (Livermon), you grab the ball out of the net, throw it into Sarah and Sarah you’re the length of the court with a layup’,” LaHaye said. As expected, D’Amico made the free throw but what LaHaye explained happened next didn’t go as planned. “As soon as the ball went through, Lauren (Vugteveen) grabbed the ball out of net, threw it in to Khajae and Khajae went the length of the floor and tried to score the layup and got fouled,” LaHaye said. “I looked at my coaches and said, ‘Did any of them hear what I just called’”. But Hester connected on both free throws to put R-MC back on top 70-69 with seven seconds remaining. “It was not the play that we wanted but it worked,” LaHaye said. “So what do you say?” Shenandoah had a chances to get the win, but Ashley McGhee sent her shot into the bottom of the rim and the clock expired. Another breakthrough for R-MC came in how the team responded to an off night from leading scorers Katie Anderson
and Livermon. Anderson finished with eight points and five rebounds but only scored one point in the second half. Livermon scored nine points but was 4-of-13 from the floor. Nine of the 12 R-MC players scored in response. Vugteveen added nine points, two rebounds, a steal and no turnovers to the cause, while both Lindsey Sharman and Nicole Freeman added four important points in less than 10 minutes action each. Hester led the game with six assists in the contest. “When one person doesn’t step up we all came together as a team,” Young said. Dulaney concurred. “Coach addressed after the game and said, ‘Twelve people put everything they had into that game’,” Dulaney said. “I think going forward that’s what we need to do each game and every game. We can’t slack off at all, it’s got to be every game. Likewise, with the win, Parsons, believes the young team has finally found itself. “With five freshmen it takes a while to build that chemistry and I think we’re finally learnsee R-MC, pg. 35 `

got three boys with concussions,” said Daniel Gilbert, who shares head coaching duties with his twin brother, Brandon. “It was the next man up, and the boys wrestled well. They came together as a team.” Above all, Gilbert said conditioning is one of several keys to success in a big tournament such as the Deep Run Duals. “Weekends where you’re getting seven matches in two days, you’ve got to make sure your boys are in top-notch shape,” Gilbert said. “Heart and hustle are two things you’ve got to have.” Spruill said improved conditioning helped the Confederates improve in
the weeks since December’s Lee-Davis Invitational Tournament. “We lost a couple of close ones then,” Spruill said. “Where I feel our conditioning has improved, we pulled those out today.” Spruill said Stafford was probably better than any team the Confederates faced in the Capital District Duals. Gilbert, however, said the competition in the championship pool at the Deep Run Duals was high quality. “There was a lot of parity in the final rounds,” Gilbert said. “The four teams that we saw in the finals round today were pretty even matched. Everybody had some studs, and everybody had some weaker weight classes that they’ll need to keep working on. Overall it
was good competition. Good, solid competition.” Atlee’s netted a top 10 finish. The Raiders were led by 126 pounder Gene Haynie and 132-pounder Jacob Godbolt, both of whom went undefeated over the weekend. 113-pounder Bryce Emerson and 170-pounder Tanner Bazemore finished 6-1. Raiders’ coach Steven Lagow was pleased with the result. “It was a good weekend for us. We finished 4-3,” Lagow said. “With that young of a team, I was excited. [They were] having to wrestle tough matches, and found ways to win. We wrestled some quality teams. Obviously, we still have things to work on, but I was really happy with the performances I saw this weekend.”
Patrick Henry finished 14th. Coach Robert Toney said the Patriots came into the tournament a bit shorthanded. “We came into this weekend a little beat up. Some of our starters are out,” Toney said. “So we just kind of kind of came in with the hopes to wrestle hard and get some of the other guys some good mat time.” Toney said the Patriots have struggled to find a groove this season. “We’ve kind of been hot and cold,” Toney said. “Some matches we’ve been wrestling real tough and some matches the guys just haven’t been ready, so we’re just trying to find that area where we can get the guys to perform consistently.”
Cannon captures shot at St. Chris meet By Jordan Bondurant Richmond Times Dispatch Atlee shot putter Austin Cannon has relied on the skills he learned from coaches in middle school and from videos he’s watched on YouTube to become one of the top throwers in the state. At the St. Christopher’s Indoor Meet on Saturday, Cannon had no trouble being the top athlete in the event, winning with his throw of 49 feet, 1.5 inches, but it was his technique that left him wondering what if. “I had a good feeling about today,” Cannon said. “My technique was just a little off. My explosions coming through my glide were just a little slow. I just have to accept the outcome and look ahead to next week.” Cannon qualified for next month’s Group AAA meet when he threw 51-9.25 at the CNU High School Winter Frolic. At this point in the season, he’s focused on consistency and effort to move further up the rankings.
“I would love to win a state championship,” he said. “It’s a good feeling knowing I already qualified for the state meet. So, at this point, I’m just trying to go out there and PR every week and improve my seeding.” Teammate Carly Feyerabend qualified for the state meet in the high jump in the Raiders’ first indoor meet of the season on Nov. 30 at the Peninsula District Ice Breaker. On Saturday, Feyerabend was close to tying her personal best this year when she attempted to clear 5-2, but she was unsuccessful. Instead, Tyler Bannister from Norfolk Academy cleared 5-2, leaving Feyerabend in second. “My approach wasn’t as smooth as it could have been,” Feyerabend said. “I wouldn’t say that my jumps were bad, but I just wasn’t able to clear the height I wanted to clear.” Like Cannon, Feyerabend and other Atlee field athletes have to do without event-specific coaches. Raiders athletes have proven they can do well despite the disadvantage.
“It’s really amazing what these kids can do without event coaches,” Atlee head coach Jim Triemplar said. “I’m really proud of them.” On the track, Haiden Lamb of Lee-Davis won the 55meter dash in 6.62 seconds, but Brandon Thomas of St. Christopher’s was .05 off tying his PR, running 6.79 seconds to finish third. Only a freshman, Thomas has plenty of room to improve. “We’re trying to work with him on his starts since he’s genuinely slow out of the blocks,” St. Christopher’s head coach Marshall Ware said. “But he’s really very talented and really into track, which is a good thing. He’s going to be a really exciting sprinter to watch in the future.” Hailey Warren of Lee-Davis won the girls mile in 5 minutes, 22.61 seconds. Warren passed Rachel Galton of Maggie Walker in the final steps. BOYS Team scores: St. Christopher’s 76.5; Atlee 68.5; Deep Run 68.5; Lee-

ing how each other play as a team,” Parsons said. “That’s what we didn’t do the first half of the season.” On Saturday, R-MC was on the verge of winning its second game in a row when they traveled to Emory & Henry. Trailing 76-74 with 1:16 to go, R-MC’s Paige Mills forced a steal and was fouled on the offensive end by the Wasps. Mills made both free-throws to tie the game at 76. But E&H’s JoBeth White’s scored on a layup with one second remaining to send the Wasps to a 78-76 ODAC victory. R-MC shot 49.2 percent from the floor and 100 percent from the free throw line, connecting on all 10 shots. Parsons led the Yellow Jackets for the second straight game, scoring 24 points and Young added a double-double, 10 points and 10 rebounds. Hester also added 10 points for the Yellow Jackets.

SJMS students share Veterans’ Day with those who served During October, the Stonewall Jackson Middle School eighth grade teachers focus on a weekly lesson to give the students a better understanding of and appreciation for Veterans’ Day. The lessons lead up to the formal assembly that is held at the school each November. This year, the school celebrated its 15th Annual Veterans’ Day event. Local veterans, including Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 9808, are invited to a reception in their honor held in the school library. Student Council Association (SCA) officers and eighth grade representatives greet the veterans as they enjoy refreshments provided by the school PTA.

civics and economics teacher at Stonewall Jackson Middle School, and Linda Dull, English instructor at Lee-Davis High School. The Navy Junior Reserve Officers Training Corps (NJROTC) from Lee-Davis High School presented the colors. The Stonewall Jackson Middle School band entertained the crowd with musical selections that included: “America,” “Battle Hymn of the Republic,” “The National Anthem” and a version of “Taps” known as “Echo Taps.” “The program is the highlight of the first half of the year at Stonewall,”
