Supervisors unanimously approve budget Chickahominy representative: ‘another Band-Aid budget’ By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local
KELLY-WIECEK
The Hanover County Board of Supervisors issued a unanimous stamp of approval for this year’s $372.6 million budget, but the final document didn’t seem to dazzle all members. Chickahominy District representative Angela KellyWiecek said she would support the document, but called it “another Band-Aid budget.”
“We’re covering what we need to try to maintain,” she said. “I am concerned there are needs in our county that are not being met by this budget. We all understand why, but there are needs that we are going to have to address at some point.” She pointed to pressing needs in the schools, Sheriff ’s Office and other county departments. Kelly-Wiecek said she is looking forward to taking her seat on the board’s Finance Committee, and starting the
hard work that will accompany next year’s process. “I’m looking forward to the next budget cycle, and looking a little more closely at how the process develops to see what we can do to continue to be transparent in our discussions, and that we are really ready to have difficult discussions about what we do going forward,” she said. Kelly-Wiecek said costs and expenditures have risen since the board reduced the tax rate in 2006. She pointed to county administrator Cecil R. “Rhu” Harris Jr.’s presenta-
It’s time to get tomatoes ready for competition
HCPS bullying policy Packing may get a closer look By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local A grandmother had more than just complaints for the Hanover County School Board when she spoke regarding the county’s bullying policy at the April 9 meeting. Dr. Donna Boone, a program development manager at the Department of Corrections, said bullying was making life miserable for her grandson, a student at Chickahominy Middle School.
“I am here to express a need for implementing field tests for a comprehensive bullying and character education program specifically designed for Hanover County middle school students,” she said. The latest incident in January resulted in a broken nose for the youth, but that’s not what disturbed Boone most. “As children generally do, after awhile, he became silent,”

The Local Pick:
A Trusted Real Estate Professional
April 17, 2013
Hanover County Public Schools recently earned an honorable mention in the 19th annual Magna Awards program sponsored by the National School Boards Association’s (NSBA) American School Board Journal (ASBJ). The recognition comes thanks to a program, “The Village Project,” at Pole Green Elementary School. The county school system was honored in the 5,000 to 20,000 enrollment category. The Village Project involves the elementary school with 13 “villages:” nursing homes, shelters, food banks, Goodwill and other organizations that have been supported by the school through collections and other service projects. The program engages elementary students in real world experiences through community service and incorporates 11 Virginia Standards of Learning (SOLs). Students participate in learning groups for reading, writing and communication skills throughout the villages. The Magna Awards, supported by Sodexo, recognize districts across the country for outstanding programs that advance student learning and encourage community involvement in schools. This year’s three grand prize, 15 first place and 15 honorable mention winners were selected from three enrollment categories: less than 5,000 students, 5,000 to 20,000 students, and more than 20,000 students. All of the 2013 Magna winners were formally recognized on Saturday, April 13. The 2013 winners also are being highlighted in a special section of the May issue of ASBJ. The districts’ winning entries will be posted on the Magna Awards website and added to
the program’s searchable best practices database, both of which can be found at www.asbj. com/magna. “The Magna Awards showcase the great work going on in local school districts across the country to increase student achievement and success,” Thomas J. Gentzel, executive director of NSBA, said. “This year’s Magna Awards recipients are national models that school leaders can learn from. NSBA commends Sodexo for its continuing support of this program and its goal of highlighting outstanding public school achievements.” “Just like the school districts recognized in the annual Magna Awards program, Sodexo supports student achievement,” Steve Dunmore, president of Sodexo EducationSchools, said. “As a partner in education, Sodexo realizes that it is vitally important to call attention to and support school districts that go above and beyond to enrich the learning environment for its students. Therefore, we are proud to sponsor the Magna Awards again this year.” ASBJ initiated the Magna Awards in 1995 to recognize school boards for taking bold and innovative steps to improve their educational programs. An independent panel of school board members, administrators and other educators selected the winners from nearly 300 submissions. American School Board Journal American School Board Journal (www. asbj.com), published monthly by the National School Boards Association (www.nsba.org), serves almost 40,000 school board members and top-level administrators from districts across the nation. The K-12 magazine, published continuously since 1891, has won 17 national honors for education reporting and design since 2006. Sodexo in North America Sodexo Inc.

assessed value. Stanley also indicated work on next year’s budget should begin immediately, the sooner the better. “I think we need to start tomorrow on next year’s budget,” Stanley said. Vice chair Sean Davis, Henry District, voiced support for this year’s inclusion of the public in the budget process. Numerous citizens took time to e-mail or write their representatives or spoke at public forums on the budget. Davis said that’s a vital cog in the wheel of local government. “While people don’t always agree, people speaking is essential to an effective government,” he said. He also commended Harris for presenting a balanced document in tough financial conditions. “I think your leadership and longevity in Hanover County has prepared you for some of these challenges,” Davis said in reference to the county administrator. He also praised Hanover County Public Schools superintendent Dr. Jamelle Wilson and the open communication between school officials and the supervisors during the process. Like other members, Davis
acknowledged this year’s budget is not a crowd pleaser, but expressed support of a document that keeps “core services” intact and brought a focus on efficiency to the discussion. “This is not a budget that I like but I will support it,” Davis said. “I don’t like revenue being down. I don’t like having to do more with less.” Several board members expressed appreciation for the group effort required to reach a final budget for 2013-2014.
“I also want to thank all of our department heads, the Sheriff ’s Office, the School Board, all of our department heads for working with us and being our partners, understanding that these are not ideal times, and for thinking very carefully about how we spend the citizens’ money,” KellyWiecek said. Chairman Canova Peterson said the budget reflected amendments after supervisors heard concerns of citizens.

tion where he said an equalized rate would add 8 cents to the current levy. “That’s if we were just keeping the rate at an equal level,” Kelly Wiecek said. “There are expenses at this county that continue to increase that we have no control over.” Beaverdam District supervisor Aubrey “Bucky” Stanley said his positive vote on county budgets is less than a given, noting his past record, but also said he would support this year’s edition. “I’ve voted against budgets in the past,” Stanley said. “There were some things in those budgets I just couldn’t stomach,” he added, noting his support for this year’s budget. “I will support this budget,” Stanley said. “Times are a little difficult now as we all know. I have been one of the most conservative on the board for a number of years, but I’m also realistic about needing money for certain challenges,” he said, describing a document that did not include raises for county employees but holds the line on the county’s current real estate tax rate of 81 cents per $100 of

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
LETTERS
Thinking about those who give lives for us
| Reader Views
The words, as the old saying goes, jumped off the page. As is typical in this writer’s daily routine, checking headlines from the home state is common. “W.Va. sheriff fatally shot, suspect in custody” glared from the Huntington, W.Va., Herald-Dispatch website. Without hesitation, an immediate click to the article. Then, there was that kicked in the gut feeling. I knew (or knew of) the victim in this case. Eugene Crum, sheriff of Mingo County, W.Va., had been gunned down around lunch time. He was seated in his official vehicle when approached and shot at point blank range. He was a regular at that location, eating his lunch and keeping an eye on an area in Williamson, the county seat, where drugs had been a major problem. Crum took office in January after campaigning on a platform of cleaning up the drugs that flowed through the hills and valleys in the county that borders my home county of Logan, W.Va., and Pike County, Ky. From 1999 through 2001, yours truly was editor of the Williamson Daily News, situated in a small city that boasts as being “in the heart of the billion-dollar coalfields.” Those were three good and productive journalistic years in a community very similar to my beginnings. People like Eugene Crum were neighbors in every sense of the word. He was devoted to the people he served. He had been in law enforcement for years. There’s a brotherhood, a unique bond among law enforcement officers. After reaching out to a friend who had known Crum for decades, I called Sgt. Chris Whitley at the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office. Geography isn’t an issue when a member of that special group is injured or, worse, killed in the line of duty. He could tell I was rattled by the news. We’ve recently had officers in our region fall in the line of duty, and whether you know them isn’t an issue. You feel the pain for their loved ones because these men and women go out day and night to serve us, to protect us. Their own welfare is secondary to them as they focus on the people of their respective jurisdictions. Without consciously doing so, we likely take for granted the risks they take every day they head to work. Thank God for those who literally give it all to watch over us. Melody Kinser

The bad news: taxpayers have finally run out of money
2nd Amendment interpretation leads to sadness and concern
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but Hanover County taxpayers have a problem. Due to incompetent leaders and followers over the last 20 years, the taxpayers have finally run out of money. During this period we have had an overabundance of greedy, dishonest and untruthful elected officials in local, state and federal positions. These officials have taken from the working taxpayers to buy the vote of those who could and should work, but — thanks to our taxes — they don’t have to. Don’t you get it? They have bought off potential working taxpayers. The government and freeloaders now outnumber the workers and we can’t afford either of them anymore. You are hereby notified that the Hanover County taxpayers cannot keep the government living in the manner they have become accustomed. We are asking for a tax decrease, otherwise we will be forced to cut the services you have come to expect from us. The tax dollars you have used in the past for ridiculous perks, early retirement, snow days, short days, big pay, no work pay, holidays and bad hair days will now be used for our own livelihood such as food, clothes, medical, heat, auto, retirement, insurance, our business, our families, prescriptions and — for a little entertainment — we will just watch the news and see how bad things can get without our support. We haven’t heard of any cuts to government employee paychecks so we expect to continue with the same level of department services we pay for. We kind of expected there would be more effort and sacrifice from government to make this economy work until we get back on our feet but looks like that will not be the case. The richest country on earth and broke. If we did not have the over-spending, over-perking, over-hiring, and other waste, there would be enough money tucked away to last five to 10 years without taxpayer help. In any case, we are finished. Figure it out for yourself: The government has always been smart enough to get our money to use for its own benefit but too dumb to manage it for our benefit. It’s time to change, time to start from scratch and take advantage of a second chance. Ted Mentz Old Church
I read with both sadness and concern the letter by Steve Sneed in a recent edition of The Mechanicsville Local that reminded me that many people do not understand what the 2nd Amendment represents. I understand that willful blindness may be operating here, because Mr. Sneed displays his agenda when he echoes Barack Obama’s famous line at a San Francisco fundraiser in April 2008 that “It’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy toward people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” Since he mentioned “clinging to” the 2nd Amendment twice, as well as being “addicted to their guns” and being “gun addicts,” and considers our objections to be “bleating,” he apparently thinks as much of Hanover County citizens as Mr. Obama does of those in Pennsylvania. Mr. Sneed is operating from the erroneous assumption that the right to keep and bear arms is somehow given to us by the 2nd Amendment; what the government giveth, the government can take away. That is not at all the case. The right to keep and bear arms is a God-given right, as is made clear in the Declaration of Independence, which says, “We hold these Truths to be self-evident (so obvious that we shouldn’t have to mention them) that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator (not by the government) with certain unalienable Rights (cannot be taken away by repeal of an Amendment or anything else) . . . That to secure these Rights (to protect them, not to take them away) Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed (We the People empower the governsee LETTERS, pg. 8

Mason, two great Virginia patriots, and Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts demanded a Bill of Rights to limit the powers of the central government and to ensure the protection of the natural rights of liberty and property of the people if they were to support the Constitution. So, in a very real sense, these are not “add-ons” but an integral part of the Constitution itself. To put the 2nd Amendment into historical context, one must ask what the militia was. The militia, which has been identified as a prototypical “National Guard,” most certainly was not. The National Guard is merely part of the reserve component of the active duty armed forces, with an additional state mission. The militia was required by the Founders because they had

ment to do what we tell it to do), that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it (mess with it and tyrants will be overthrown) . . . The purpose of the Constitution was to limit the power of the Federal Government, not to expand it. Anything not specifically given to it was reserved to the states or the people. When the Constitution was drawn up, then, as today, there was a debate between the biggovernment Federalists (who were small-government folks by today’s standards) and the limited government anti-federalists. Before they ratified it, Edmund Randolph and George
a fear of standing armies, which have, historically, and in many places presently, been used to subjugate the people. The militia was the entire people, who were to be armed in order to prevent that subjugation, and, in fact, to fight against a standing army if that need arose. So the idea that the army and police should always have superior firepower is anathema to the original intent of the Constitution. Mr. Sneed calls the possession of weapons by the citizenry in accordance with our Constitution “anarchy” and says the government must control gun purchasing, possession and use just as it controls automobiles. Unfortunately for his argument, the Founding Fathers did not consider the purchase, possession or use of horses essential to the mainte-

nance of our freedoms, while they did that of arms. He is quite right in noting that the government has legislated unconstitutionally against fully automatic weapons, but he is wrong that they are “banned.” Purchase and possession merely requires obtaining a Class III license by paying a tax. We know that you vote, Mr. Sneed, but we live in a Constitutional Republic, not a democracy. It does not matter a whit if you and 50.0001 percent of the people or 100 percent of the people don’t like our guns, our right to possess them is given to us by our Creator, and we will not surrender them to tyrants like you, because the opposite of the “anarchy” you decry is the tyranny you propose.

Cooking from the heart can be done all year By Dobby Bruce Hodges for The Mechanicsville Local (Editor’s note: Today we feature another recipe from Dobby Bruce Hodges, one of our readers who will be a frequent contributor to this page devoted to favorite recipes, especially those handed down through generations of families.

When I was growing up, celebrating Valentine’s Day was a very special event. The year that I was in second grade was the best Valentine’s Day ever. The week leading up to Valentine’s Day, my classmates and I would make all of the decorations for our classroom. As a room full of 7-yearolds, we were so excited and anxious waiting for the special day. We had decorated our classroom, from wall HODGES to wall, window to window, with red and white paper chains made from construction paper. Red, pink and white hearts with “lace dollies” decorated our walls. Cupids with arrows were on the bulletin boards.

When a driveway is sealed, it creates a barrier, which defends harsh UV rays from the sun, moisture, and oil leaks which are all culprits of asphalt deterioration. Seal This!, based here in Mechanicsville, offers driveway sealing at an affordable price. At Seal This!, all sealer is hand applied (not sprayed) with either a brush or squeegee.

When the asphalt dries, it begins to crack. When cracks form, they hold moisture which can freeze in the winter months. When the water freezes, it expands and the cracks get bigger leading to

Backpack program provides weekend food for needy Students in three Hanover County Public Schools take home extra backpacks on Friday afternoon, but they’re not filled with additional homework. The special backpacks, which are sent out of Cold Harbor, Laurel Meadows and Battlefield elementary schools, are packed full of food – individual-sized pasta and soup meals, peanut butter, macaroni and cheese, juice boxes, fresh fruit, popcorn, pudding, cereal and special milk that don’t require refrigeration. According to Jennifer Scott, one of four volunteers who handle the program, which is offered by Walnut Grove Baptist Church, the effort grew out of concern among several church members about how many children go hungry in the Mechanicsville area. After hearing about similar backpack programs in other communities, the volunteers worked with a food pantry already operating at the church to get the effort off the ground
in 2011. Scott, Shari Hayden and Alan and Donna Fearnow take care of most of the packing and delivery, while the Walnut Grove Baptist Church food pantry helps gather the food for the program. School counselors and principals work together to determine which students might benefit most from extra weekend help. Due to privacy concerns, Scott pointed out that the volunteers don’t know the children. It’s all handled confidentially. The only information they get about the kids they’re feeding is whether they’re boys or girls, so gender-appropriate backpacks can be sent home with each child. “One thing we were worried about was what kids would say if they noticed these children were carrying another backpack,” Scott said. That hasn’t been an issue, she added. “The ladies in the office tell us the kids are just thrilled to get them. They tell other kids, ‘We get a backpack full of food!’”
Scott said these programs are only recommended for the youngest students, who are far more dependent on their parents for food than middle or high school students. “Obviously, there are more children who can be fed,” Scott said. “We’d like to grow the program and serve more students.” Without help, the church can’t handle much beyond the 30 students they’re already feeding, Scott said. To expand into new schools -- Pole Green and Rural Point elementary schools would be next on the list -- more food, money and volunteers are needed. Monetary donations, including cash or gift cards to BJ’s, Walmart and local grocery stores are especially beneficial. Because the church operates a food pantry, some food items can be purchased from regional food banks at a deep discount. Food items also are a big need, especially the non-perishable milk and individual Chef Boyardee pasta cups, both of which are expensive.

Hanover Cares, law enforcement join forces to reduce drinking and driving
Congratulations
36 YEARS
In the fall of 2011, the Hanover Cares coalition submitted an application for a grant to be awarded by the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services to Virginia jurisdictions to reduce alcohol related crashes in Virginia involving 15- to 24-year-old drivers. Hanover Cares was awarded the grant along with 12 other Virginia jurisdictions in February 2012. According to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles data, there were 124 crashes involving alcohol and drivers 15 to 24 years old in Hanover County between 2009 and 2011. Of those crashes, 79 percent of them involved male drivers 18 to 24 years old. Based on this data, community focus groups and surveys, conversations with local law enforcement agencies and other community leaders, Hanover Cares developed a strategic plan to reduce the number of 18- to 24-year-old
males drinking and driving in Hanover County. A significant part of the plan will lean on the long-standing relationships Hanover Cares has had with the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office and the Ashland Police Department. With the grant, Hanover Cares will be able to fund additional operations for both agencies to target drinking and driving and underage buyers purchasing alcohol in Hanover County. “We are grateful for the commitment that both the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office and the Ashland Police Department have shown over the years toward eliminating the often tragic consequences of our young people using alcohol and then getting behind the wheel of a vehicle. By supporting their efforts with this grant, we hope our county will take one more meaningful step in addressing this problem,” Keith Cartwright, the project coordinator for Hanover Cares, said. The grant will fund addi-
tional sobriety checkpoints, DUI saturation patrols and underage buyer compliance checks at local retailers who sell alcohol. It also will fund a media campaign to raise awareness of the dangers of drinking and driving and local law enforcement efforts in place to reduce it. “For years, we’ve been actively engaged in working with our youth and young adults to curb alcohol and drug use,” Col. David R. Hines, sheriff of Hanover County, said. “Our ongoing partnership with Hanover Cares will further enhance our ability to prevent, detect and apprehend drunk drivers, as well as work with responsible merchants to prevent the sale of alcohol to minors. I’m hopeful that it will also bring greater awareness to this issue and encourage our youth and young adults to make wiser, healthier decisions, which will make our community more productive and safe.” “The youth of our community have so many pressures on them in society today. We are
hoping that our joint efforts will not only reduce the demand for underage alcohol consumption, but also restrict the supply to those underage individuals. All this is done to improve the safety of our community,” Doug Goodman, Ashland chief of police, added. To learn more about Hanover Cares, visit www. hanover-cares.org.

Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com On Tuesday, April 23, 25,000 volunteers from Berkeley to Boston and Sitka to Sarasota and even right here in Mechanicsville will give away half a million free books in more than 6,000 towns and cities across the country. Lee-Davis High School librarians, as well as faculty and staff volunteers, will be giving away books from 4:30 to 6 p.m. in front of the Mechanicsville Kroger at 6335 Mechanicsville Turnpike. Residents are invited to stop by and get your free book during that time. The limit is one per person. World Book Night U.S. is an ambitious campaign to give thousands of free, specially printed paperbacks to light or nonreaders across America on one day. Volunteer book lovers help promote reading by going out into their communities and sharing free copies of books they love. The mission of World Book Night is to seek out those without the means or access to printed books. Some of the volunteers in the community will be picking up their books at the Lee-Davis Library and sharing them in locations as diverse as VA hospitals, roller skating rinks, mass transit, nursing homes, schools and food pantries. Virginia Palmen, library media specialist at Lee-Davis, said, “We at the Lee-Davis High School Library are proud to be a partner in World Book Night U.S. for a second year.” Best selling authors Ann Patchett and James Patterson are this year’s honorary chairpeople. The books were chosen by an independent panel of booksellers and librarians through several rounds of voting. The printing of the free books was possible due to generosity of the authors, publishers and book manufacturing companies. Although it is too late to be a giver this year, those interested in participating in the future can sign up for the WBN mailing list for news and updates on World Book Night 2014. The free WBN editions will not available at the Lee-Davis Library at any time, except for when the volunteer givers pick up their books. The 30 World Book Night U.S. titles for 2013,

BULLYING Continued from pg. 1
Boone said. “He didn’t complain anymore of the bullying because anytime he complained, the bullying became worse.” She said it transformed a former honor roll student with no behavioral problems into a “sullen” child whose grades suffered. She said the county’s bullying policy guidelines were not followed in dealing with the instigator of the incident. County policy requires a 10-day suspension for students involved in bullying type behavior. “After the fight, I became aware that the school polices regarding instigation of violence and disruption in the school were being ignored,” Boone said. While her grandson and the other student were disciplined, Boone said the 10-day suspension was ignored for the instigator. “That child never received any official sanction,” Boone said and expressed a con-

cern that uniformed and fair application of the policy was not being administered. “This unequal application of policy puts Hanover schools in a precarious legal position when some children are given the full brunt of the policy and others are not,” she said. Boone supplied members with the revised policy for their study, and said field testing and implementing new programs is not foreign to her expertise. “Rolling out programs that work is something I’ve done a lot of. I’m also a researcher so I measure whether the impact of any program is having the desired effects by doing baseline
measures.” Boone provided members with packets outlining her plan and Ashland District School Board member Hank Lowry said he was interested in taking a closer look at Boone’s suggested policy at the next meeting. Last Tuesday’s meeting was the first for T. David Myers, the new assistant superintendent for business and operations. He joined the management team earlier this month, and comes to Hanover by way of Chesterfield County where he served in a similar position for years. Hanover High School freshman Hannah Sayles was recognized for winning the recent Regional Poetry Out Loud Competition in February. She was only one of two ninth graders in the competition. John M.

Scott makes debut in Spring Game
VA played big role in memorable basketball season

Above right: Former Lee-Davis player and University of Richmond head coach Latrell Scott made his coaching debut at the reigns of the VSU program on Saturday. Scott has the school and community fired up for the future of Trojan football.
By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com ETTRICK- On Saturday afternoon, Virginia State University fans got their first glimpse into the future of Trojan football. The annual Spring Game was a coming out party for first year head coach Latrell Scott and a team looking to return to former glory. From 1993 to 1997, VSU posted a 41-11 record with a pair of CIAA championships in 1995-96. Over the next 15 years the Trojans posted only five winnings seasons, highlighted by an 8-2 run in 2010. Last year VSU finished a disappointing 4-6 and signaled time for change. Enter Scott, a former Lee-Davis standout, returning to head coaching for the first time since his disappointing exit from the University of Richmond. On Saturday, both Scott and
the Trojans appeared rejuvenated. “These kids have worked their tails off,” Scott said. “They’ve bought into our program. They’ve done it the right way and they’ve gotten better on a weekly basis. We’re not nearly where we need to be but we’ve taken some steps in a positive direction.” Though Scott has experience as an assistant coach at BCS schools as well as holding the head coaching reigns at Richmond, he does not look at VSU any differently. “We don’t consider this any kind of step down in quality of kids,” he said. “It’s a quality school. We’re going to coach the same way we’ve been coaching- I coached this bunch the same way I did when I was at Tennessee. I don’t expect anything less out of them and neither does our staff.”
In the scrimmage, the Trojans’ defense outscored the offense 47-33, highlighted by a nearly 70-yard fumble return for a touchdown. One of the defensive players Scott will rely on is former Lee-Davis standout linebacker Brandon Robinson. As a sophomore, Robinson led the Trojans on defense with a team high 57 tackles (33 solo), two tackles for a loss, two pass break-ups and an interception. Robinson was proud to point out his unit won the scrimmage. “Defense has the upper hand right now,” he said. “Defense is doing it big.” However, Scott came away from the game pleased with the play on both sides of the ball. “There were some great plays by the defense,” he said. “Any time your defense can score a touchdown that’s great. We had
the defense rush the passer, get sacks and things like that but I think we made some big plays on offense also.” Junior quarterback Lamonta Green, out of Compton, Ca. showed the ability to spread things out with his passing ability but Scott said that will not define the character of the team. “We’re going to throw it a bunch but we’re looking for an advantage,” he said. “If we feel we can run it we will. It just depends on what we’ll be able to do that particular day. But it’s good to be able to do both.” The biggest goal for the VSU coaching staff has been to develop a feeling of second nature when the Trojans take to the field. “As a staff we try to create chaos, as much chaos as possible so we can come out see VSU, pg. 30 `

Confederates come through at just right time By Arthur Utley For The Mechanicsville Local Lee-Davis softball has been a preeminent program in the Central Region for so long the Confederates’ absence from The Richmond Times-Dispatch Top 10 poll this season was conspicuous to some observers. Confederates coach Jackie Davis, in her 14th year at the helm, wasn’t one of them. She didn’t know the team was unranked until someone told her. “We don’t ever talk about the polls. I actually try to encourage [the players] not to read the paper to be perfectly honest,” Davis said after the Confederates, playing at home, edged Capital District rival and seventh-ranked Hanover 1-0 last Friday night. The victory boosted LD’s record to 4-2 overall and 2-1 in the district. It was the third one-run game Lee-Davis has played against a Hanover County opponent this season. The Confederates lost the two previous games to No. 2 Atlee and No. 4 Patrick Henry.

and play calm on game day,” he said. “I think some of these kids handled the game situation great.” Robinson feels Scott is well on his way to changing the perceptions of VSU football and feels the team is drawing more interest from the community and surrounding area. “I think it’s a bigger fan base now,” he said. “It’s growing and growing every day.” More importantly, Robinson has seen a noticeable difference in the team. “Our progression from day one- we’re a whole new team now,” he said. “We picked up the tempo a lot and we just came together as one, as a family.”

Most of the players who helped Lee-Davis finish as the state runner-up in 2010, win the state championship in 2011 and lose to eventual state champ Cosby in last year’s region semifinals are gone. The best returning hitter, Ryleigh Hawker, left the team after a couple of games this season. “The kids know we’re kind of young. We only have 10 healthy players on varsity right now,” Davis said. “They are coming out every day and working hard. Their goal is to improve every When he took over at VSU, Scott made a commitment to recruit locally. All 11 of his signees for next season are from the state of Virginia including Varina defensive lineman Darryl Simons and athlete Chris Tucker as well as quarterback Niko Johnson out of Hermitage. “It’s great to be back home and it’s great to have local kids be a part of the program and everything,” Scott said. Scott was provided a further of feeling of home with the VSU uniforms. Other than the name Trojans across the front, they are nearly identical to the uniforms at Lee-Davis. “We strategically planned it that way,” he said with a smile. For Robinson, he would have it no other way. “I love these colors,” he said.

If we continue to get better and better every day, we’ll be a different team in May than we were before spring break.” The Confederates scored 17 runs against Varina and 16 against Mills Godwin in the two games prior to Hanover. They played well against the Hawks and finally pushed across the game-winning run in the bottom of the seventh. “For us to come out here, produce and score a run in a tight situation and have the

Jarvis’ big bat blasting into record books By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com To anyone who meets her, Randolph-Macon shortstop Sharese Jarvis does not present an imposing figure. The first thing people are likely to notice about Jarvis is her bright smile and cordial personality. But when it comes to softball, the sophomore out of Matthews High School has turned into a beast. Throughout this season, she been using her bat to pound the R-MC and the Old Dominion Athletic Conference record books into submission. Last week, Jarvis broke the single season home run record at R-MC, held by Paige Smith, when she belted out her 16th homer of the year. On Thursday, she tied Caroline Cubbage, who is currently the head coach at Lynchburg, for the ODAC single season record with her 17th home run. Through 35 games, Jarvis is batting .390 with a .460 on base percentage and a .960 slugging percentage. She has hit four doubles, one triple and 46 RBI while scoring 45 runs. In comparison, Jenna Best is R-MC’s second leading slugger with eight home runs on the season while freshman Madison Gilman has hit seven. Surprisingly, Jarvis is making her mark against tough ODAC competition. She leads the ODAC in runs, RBI and slugging while ranking third in walks. Against ODAC competition alone she is batting .408, has on base percentage of .492 and a ridiculous 1.143 slugging percentage. Eleven of Jarvis’ 17 home runs have come in league play. Jarvis did not enter the season as a complete unknown. As a freshman she led the ODAC with 10 home runs and topped R-MC’s stats with 50 hits, 15 doubles, 38 RBI and 39 runs while batting .357. But this sea-

This year she has 11 strikeouts through 100 at-bats. Jarvis is averaging

son she has taken her game to another level. “I’ve coached baseball at the high school level but I’ve never coached a guy or a girl that swings the bat like she does,” said R-MC head coach Kevin Proffitt. “You hear people talk about professional players or you go watch BP at a Nats game or something and you see just how they swing it. It’s just effortless and the ball just explodes off the bat.” Over the off season Jarvis concentrated on improving her strength and added a few pounds of muscle. “I definitely been working on my weak spots,” she said. “I knew coming up against really good pitching it was going to be a challenge so I worked with my batting coach a little bit harder and worked
on making my weak points my strongest points.” One of those areas was pitches that were outside and away. “That’s been my trouble since high school, Little League, anything, you name it,” Jarvis said. “I worked on hitting my outside pitch and getting all
m y weight behind it to get power behind it.” What has impressed Proffitt more than watching Jarvis hit home runs is how far
she puts it out of the park. She put her 17th home run into the R-MC park-
ing l o t beyond the left field fence. “I played baseball at Macon but when I see a kid hit a ball like that I’m like ‘Oh my Lord’.” Jarvis admits she has not only surprised her coaches and fans. “I definitely have surprised myself,” she said. “Looking back at high school, just being here
nearly one home run every other game and it has become so routine her teammates have come to expect it. “They’re at the point now, they don’t talk about it a lot but they’re like, ‘When is she going to hit one today?’” Proffit said. The Yellow Jackets currently boast a 29-6 record and sit in fourth place among ODAC competition at 12-4. Jarvis will have one more shot to break the ODAC record at home when R-MC hosts Virginia State on Tuesday at 3 p.m. Macon is 22-0 at home this season and has a chance to go undefeated in Ashland for the first time in school history. The Yellow Jackets close out the regular season slate with a double-header at Shenandoah (20-14, 8-8) on Apr. 18 and two games at league-leader Roanoke (25-6, 13-1) on Apr. 21.

who helped guide VCU to the 2010 Final Four and former Yellow Jacket assistant Shawn Finney, who was an assistant at the University of Kentucky for their run to the 1998 national championship. Likewise, current R-MC head coach Nathan Davis guided the Yellow Jackets to the 2010 D-III Final Four. All three learned their trade under Randolph-Macon’s legendary Hal Nunnally “I think a lot of it was just how coach instilled the discipline on a daily basis, not just in basketball but in our lives and I think it translates to kids,” said former Benedictine basketball coach Sean McAloon, who was both a player and assistant under Nunnally. “Kids want that discipline, they want that fire and he was able to really get that into us. He’d just get us really interested in the game of basketball and taking it to that next level.” As such, the further achievements of Nunnally’s coaching tree was special to everyone connected to the college. “I think any time you see people that you know or have a connection to (reach Final Four), it’s certainly exciting,” Davis said. “It’s such a thrill to get to that point, so you’re happy for them and hopefully they perform well.” Without a doubt, Marshall’s Shockers performed well en route to the Final Four, knocking off Pittsburgh, No. 1 seed Gonzaga, LaSalle and No. 2 seed Ohio State to reach the lofty pedestal. Ironically, Marshall, a graduate of Cave Spring High School in Roanoke, was done in by the performance of another Roanoke native, Luke Hancock. Hancock, out of Hidden Valley High School, considered both Virginia and Virginia Tech when he sought to transfer from George Mason fol-

lowing the departure of Coach Jim Larrinaga. Instead Hancock opted for the University of Louisville and his performance in the NCAA tournament can only leave both of the Commonwealth schools wondering, what if? Against the Shockers, Hancock came off the bench to score 20 points for Louisville and rally the Cardinals from a 12-point deficit to defeat Wichita State 72-68. Hancock then followed up that performance by connecting on all five 3-point attempts, scoring 22 points, once again leading U of L back from a 12point deficit to defeat Michigan for the national championship, 82-76. In doing so, Hancock became the first sub to be named the NCAA National Championship Most Valuable Player. “I saw him play at the beginning of the year and he was terrible. As the year went on, more and more confidence,” McAloon said. “More and more work and look what that got him. And I think that’s the best message out of anything… it’s the kid didn’t bitch and moan when he was on the bench at the beginning of the year and the next thing you know he’s the MVP. So many kids in this day and age if they don’t like it they’ll transfer or their parents

are unhappy. It’s just a breath of fresh air.” Ironically, R-MC had a connection to the losing end of the national championship though Michigan coach John Beilien. “Coach Beilien is a close friend of the program,” Davis said. “He and Coach Nunnally were very close when he was at Richmond.” It was Beilein who prompted McAloon’s hire at Benedictine. “When I was at RandolphMacon with Mike, we used to go up and do chalk-talk with Coach B and his staff and it was unbeknownst to me at the time by (Benedictine) headmaster, John McGinty was pretty close with him; they played tennis,” McAloon said. Beilien had one message for McGinty; “if you don’t hire him you’re nuts.” The national championship game between Louisville and Michigan was touted as one of the best in recent memory and prompted McAloon to Tweet. ‘If you’re a basketball player or coach and you can’t get motivated by that game...change your life, and sport.’ “It was played the right way,” McAloon said. “There was no excessive complaining from either one of the coaches. No whining from kids, they just played. It was a breath of fresh air. It wasn’t like a 30 to 30 slugfest. They really played really
hard and played at a high level. If that game didn’t excite you about our sport then leave basically.” Davis agreed it was an exceptional game. “I think you had two teams with good players playing very hard at a very high level and they were defending each other well,” he said. “At the same time guys were making shots, which makes it all the more pleasing to watch… Someone would make a play and someone would come back and answer. So when you get that back and forth going it’s certainly entertaining.” Davis knows what it’s like to face teams on a hot shooting streak after his Yellow Jackets fell to Amherst. Amherst defeated R-MC 93-76 in the NCAA D-III Sweet 16, which turned out to be the second closest margin of victory in the tournament for the Lord Jeffs as they rolled to the NCAA D-
III championship, winning four of their five games by 17 points or more. Unfortunately, R-MC caught Amherst at their best. “I saw them 10 or 11 times (scouting) and there’s no question the best game was against us,” Davis said. “That’s just the way it goes sometimes. “We actually, going back and watching film, didn’t play particularly poorly, they just made every shot they took,” Davis said. “We contested everything except for three or four shots and they just went in.” As part of the NCAA’s 75th anniversary celebration, for the first time the Division I, II and III schools all played their national championship games in Atlanta over the same weekend. Coaches, players and fans alike agreed the concept was an overwhelming success. So much so that, consideration is
being given to making the event a regular fixture in men’s college basketball. R-MC athletic director Jeff Burns and assistant coach Tim Lawrence both attended the championships. “They both said the atmosphere was terrific,” Davis said. However, Davis pointed out changes need to be made if the NCAA plans to continue the format. While, other than travel, he had no problems with single game weekends leading up to the Final Four, Davis was not pleased with the two week layoff between the semifinals and championship. “I think if they’re going to keep doing it they need to find more of a way to keep it on a normal schedule,” he said. One option would be to start the Division III season later or possibly spread out the schedule more so it is in sync with Division I.
RIR opens gates between eras
Charlie Leffler/The Local
On Monday afternoon, Richmond International Raceway unveiled the newly renovated Virginia is for Lovers Frontstretch Gates as well as announced their partnership with Colonial Williamsburg. Above: Characters from Colonial Williamsburg listen in as RIR President Dennis Bickmeier, left, talks about the renovations at the track. The gate structure stretches 225 feet and is topped by a RIR logo that weighs 3000 pounds. The entrance features nine express lanes and three dedicated exit lanes to be used for fans to come back out onto the midway after they have entered the grandstands. There is also a separate entrance for the suite ticketholders. “We wanted that Virginia flavor,” Bickmeier said. “We wanted that Virginia is for Lovers sign to be out.”
Hawks take battle between first year teams By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Thursday night’s matchup between the Hanover and LeeDavis girls lacrosse squads got off to a dim start but ended with both teams shinning. When the lights at Lee-Davis were accidently shut off, the game which was already delayed due to the boys contest between the two schools, got off to an even later start. But in the end, the first meeting between the two clubs as high school teams displayed the potential for girls’ lacrosse in Hanover County. Hanover maintained their unblemished record with a 13-1 win over the Confederates but the scoreboard did not indicate the competitive nature of the contest. The rivalry was further fueled by the fact most of the players on both teams came from the same club squad last season; the Hanover Hurricanes. “It was great for me because I know a lot of these girls,” said Hanover head coach Bill Karn. “It was a good day for lacrosse.” For Lee-Davis coach Catherine Ostoich, familiarity may have had a negative effect on her team’s performance. “We kind of went downhill today with a few things that we’re normally great at,” she said. “Everyone got really anxious because this is a
team where they really know everyone.” Throughout the contest, the Confederates showed lapses in the game basics of cradling and passing. “It had some good points. It had some bad points,” Ostoich said. Though Lee-Davis is winless on the season, the coach doesn’t feel her squad has been beaten by better teams. Instead they have beaten themselves. “We’re the ones who leave girls open or we have the ball and we shoot at their goal; stuff that we can control. I would just love for us all to come together at one point and click, which I know it will, it’s just hopefully before the end of the season.” Hanover came into the contest with the more experienced players and it showed. “We have three seniors who are really strong and a good core group of juniors,” Karn said. “So yeah, we are fortunate to have some experienced players.” That knowledge translated into consistency as Hanover virtually scored every three minutes in the first half. Michele Knizner got things going for the Hawks in the opening minutes of the contest and Jessica Fulwider pushed Hanover’s lead to 2-0 soon afterward. At the 17:43 mark, Knizner
connected on her second goal of the night and Miona Sebra gave Hanover a 4-0 lead midway through the half. Sarah Belcher added to the lead with an assist from Fulwider then Fulwider added her second goal of the night. The Hawks closed out the half with two goals by Amy Korcsmaros, the second off an assist from Sebra, for an 8-0 lead at the break. “Amy Korcsmarcos is one of our senior captains and she’s really a fantastic player,” Karn said. “She controls the midfield for us and really dictates the pace of play for us. She had a really nice game today.” Karn was also pleased with the efforts of first year player Bailey Lien (8 saves) in the goal. Lien was not only solid at the net but even better at setting up the fast break with lob passes down field. “She was really effective clearing the ball and getting us going in our transition offense,” Karn said. The Confederates’ Harper Matthews matched Lien with eight saves in goal. Lee-Davis, fired up by a halftime pep talk by Ostoich, struck quickly coming out of the break Abigail Cooper raced out of the toss-up for a one-on-one attack and a score. Ostoich was pleased with the goal but unhappy with her team’s

ability to maintain the momentum. “That needs to be more of a constant thing rather than a right out of the gate type of play,” she said. The coach admits it has been difficult getting the team in sync while working without an assistant. “It’s hard,” she said. “We would be a lot better team if I had somebody else, just because of the pure fact that you need someone working with the goalie and you need someone work-
ing with the rest of the team, or even split up the offense and the defense and I do it all together.” However, Ostoich is pleased with the leadership shown by captains Jordan Thomas, Taylor Loomis and Maci Morrison. “It’s almost like I have a second coach,” she said. While Karn is happy with the undefeated start to the season he knows the road gets much, much harder for his Hawks from here on out; playing two-time
defending state club champion Midlothian and rival Atlee. “We’ll see where we are in a couple of weeks but I like where we’re going right now and how we’re progressing with the season,” he said.

Hanover holds off Confederate lacrosse
By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The Hanover High School boys lacrosse team held off a furious second half rally at Lee-Davis on Thursday night to defeat the host Confederates 15-7. When Lee-Davis got on the scoreboard first, off a goal from standout attackman Houston Jones, Hanover coach Don Kalinowski was spurred to change his defense. The coach assigned Clay Sorah to the task and he proved a nuisance to Jones over the remainder of the contest. “We had to shut him down,” Kalinowski said. “(We) tried as hard as we could to keep him from getting the ball.” The Hawks kept Jones scoreless for the remainder of the con-
test, allowing Hanover to pull out to an 8-3 lead by the half. Less than a minute into the third quarter, Hanover’s Hunter Bellow pushed that lead to 9-3 and they appeared ready to run away with the contest. The Confederates had other plans however and their rally started on defense rather than offense. Lee-Davis goalie Justin Keener put on a clinic at the net with cat-like defense, snatching blink-of-an-eye shots from the Hawks to hold them scoreless for nearly 10 minutes. Keener finished the contest with 15 saves. “The goalie was phenomenal for Lee-Davis,” Kalinowski said and was quick to point out his Hawks were taking good shots, Keener simply turned in an

exceptional quarter of defense. “We were not displeased with many shots at all, maybe five-six shots the entire game.” It took only 15 seconds for the Confederates to answer Hanover’s opening second half goal when Alexander Helm connected to trim the margin to 9-4. The rally continued as Tres Alder then Hunter MacKenzie scored to pull Lee-Davis within four, 10-6, with 5:16 remaining in the third. Kalinowski felt all the Hawks could do was weather the storm. “We were not disappointed in our play,” he said. “Their goalie was coming up with big saves and that helped the momentum shift as well. There they were scoring their goals and stopping us from scoring. It made a big difference in that third quarter.” Hanover’s Colin Disesa finally broke the run with a score in the final two minutes of the period to reopen the Hawks margin, 11-6, and allow them to regroup heading into the fourth quarter. In the final period, Austin

Hanover’s Colin Disesa (85) drives past Lee-Davis’ Houston Jones (22) and slips a shot by goalie Justin Keener (30) for a score. Keener turned in an outstanding performance with 15 saves, but Hanover was able to nullify the offensive effectiveness of Jones to pull out the 15-7 win.
Garrison connected out the gate lead over the C-feds. With under seven minutes for the Hawks then Trevor Cook added his fifth goal of the night to play, Cook connected again minutes later to open up a 13-6 and Hanover began working the clock. “Trevor Cook was very important,” Kalinowski said. “He made some great passes and took it to the goal and scored several lefty goals.” Lee-Davis’ MacKenzie and Hanover’s Tyler Flora traded goals to create the final margin. Overall Kalinowski was pleased with the play of his Hawks, considering they are working their way back from a recent spurt of injuries. Hanover was without Casey Cook and the contest marked Colin Proctor’s first game back on the field.

DeJarnette, a to emphasize ball movement senior journalism major at the University of Oregon, was against the Confederates. “We’re recognized among all D-I male cross country runners with a very young and very pleased 4.0 GPA. with the play by our young guys,”

Kalinowski said. “We worked a lot on offense over the last few practices, about being patient, about working the ball around and we did that. We played like a team not forcing shots, forcing the ball and we had great shots.” This year marks the final season of club play for the Hanover County lacrosse teams and Kalinowski is looking forward to the Virginia High School League designation next year. “It’s so big,” he said. “We’ve already got the rivalries established… We’ve already got great competition within the Richmond area.” Hanover....................... 5 3 3 4 — 15 Lee-Davis.................... 3 0 3 1 — 7 H: Tr.
