Though the youngest player on the team, Holler (Lee-Davis) turned in a solid performance that allowed American Legion Post 175 to advance with a 10-4 win over host Stafford. Mechanicsville battled through long days, heat and five games, but finished third in the state tournament. For more details turn to page 40 in Sports.

anover resident Curt Lovins was selected as one of 10 people recognized in a special feature in the August issue of The Family Handyman, read by 4.6 million people each month, to honor his prowess as a “DIYer” (Do It Yourselfer) involved in public service. “DIY is a way to provide a comfortable, safe and enjoyable home for those we love while saving money,” said Ken Collier, editor-in-chief, The Family Handyman. “For some, the spirit of helping others has not only fueled their passion for DIY, but has shaped their entire life. They’ve served our country, their local communities, their neighbors and the needy, at home and abroad. We thought it was important to highlight some of these stories in The Family Handyman.” Lovins, who served 20 years in the Marines, is a fulltime firefighter for Henrico County and an avid volunteer with his church, the local YMCA, Habitat for Humanity, and the rest of his community, including friends, family and neighbors. From his time spent serving others, Lovins’ most inspirational experience occurred while he was working on small goodwill projects in West Africa as a Marine. “One time we were moving heavy furniture out of hospital rooms, and, despite being seriously ill, the patients

“I like the sense of accomplishment that goes along with doing it myself,” he said. “My favorite DIY project is a covered rear porch/patio that I transformed into an office. I jackhammered the concrete slab and did it all myself.” For additional DIY tips, stories and more, visit www. familyhandyman.com.

WATER Continued from pg. 1

about 10 women, mostly aged 40 to 60, stretch, kick, punch, dance, jog, cycle and surf underwater during a one-hour workout filled with laughter and beach music once a week during the summer. “It’s so much fun. It’s good for you, and you can’t hurt yourself,” Dodd said, adding that it’s a lot more fun to do water aerobics with other people. Claire McBride said, “I love

it. It’s good exercise, and we laugh a lot.” She said many of the women met during Bible study classes. Barbara Wilkins has participated for about six years along with her teenage daughters. “They used to tease me that it was an old lady thing, but now they hate to miss it,” she said. On a recent sunny morning, the women went from throwing underwater karate kicks and punches to Zumba dancing to Rockette-style leg kicks all timed to the beat

of “New York, New York,” “Hot, Hot, Hot,” “Under the Boardwalk,” “Splish, Splash, I Was Taking a Bath,” “Surfing USA,” and other lighthearted summertime tunes. Each participant pays $55 each summer to cover the cost of instructor Diane Weinstein, who has taught water aerobics at the University of Richmond, Kings Charter and Burkwood Swim & Racquet Club. Weinstein said the workout burns about 400 calories an hour. “The water provides resis-

tance, and no matter what you do, it works,” Weinstein said. “It’s especially good if you have any ailment such as arthritis or you’re recovering from surgery or broken bones.” By the end of the workout, they had stretched and exercised every muscle in their bodies at their own pace, and there wasn’t anyone who wasn’t smiling. They all agreed that the workout is beneficial in terms of building stamina, but especially in terms of growing friendships and having fun.

Not to be used for identification purposes Back in the “old days” (code for my youth), there wasn’t a rush to obtain a social security card — until you were approaching the age of 16 and the opportunity presented itself to become a licensed driver. It was just before “Sweet 16” arrived that I made the obligatory trip to the Social Security Office in my hometown. That was when downtown meant something more than the name of a Petula Clark song. (That’s today’s quiz for those under 40. Look her up.) Once that card was in your hands, it was like a magic wand swept over and you had officially entered the adult world. At least that was the feeling at the idea of sliding behind the wheel of a car and hitting the open road. OK, maybe it wasn’t so open, but the days of riding the school bus were a thing of the past. Anyway, those nine numbers have taken on a life of their own these days. OK, it’s understandable that your employer needs those numbers — we’re paying into the system (with the dream of actually getting something in return someday). But, for several years, those nine numbers — especially the last four — readily verify who we claim we are in dealing with service providers. A recent issue with a utility started with the automated system and my options to continue with the call. Now, when numbers are involved, I’m lucky to remember phone numbers (due in part to “Contacts” lists in SmartPhones). So, it’s a given I have no idea what my account number is. That’s why I have to run those nine numbers through my head so many times — because the final four will give you access to the world you need. The amusing part of all this is the fact that the card states “Not to be used for identification purposes.” Really?!

Etc. ☞ As was promised when we first mentioned a page devoted to recipes, I’ve spotlighted my mother’s meat loaf today. Hope you enjoy it. Melody Kinser

Henry District fortunate to have Sean Davis as representative The residents of the Henry District in Hanover County are very fortunate to have Sean Davis representing us on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors. He is a man of action and gets things done. I have been living next to a half burned down garage for almost four and a half years. The neighbors and my family have had to look at it each day. I have contacted “12 On Your Side,” written letters to the county building inspector, but no one followed through to see the problem resolved. I contacted Mr. Davis and things started to happen. Mr. Davis has called me several times, keeping me advised of what was being done on this problem. As of this writing (July 27, 2012), the garage has been torn down and is no longer an eyesore for the neighborhood. All I can say is, “Thank you, Sean Davis,” the man of action. Charles Paulus Mechanicsville

Congratulating writer for stand on Obama’s term and policies I would like to congratulate one of your recent letter writers, LaToya Brown, on an intelligent and well thought out letter about the failures of Barack Obama. Usually with the least little criticism of Obama, we are pounced on by the liberal media and called racists. Fortunately, they can’t do that to LaToya Brown, who is of the same race as President Obama. Unlike many in the African-American community, Ms. Brown is not influenced by skin color but by the horrendously bad and destructive policies that she has seen Obama put forth in his first three and a half years in office. Can you imagine the catastrophe he will bring on our country if he is re-elected and does not have to stand for reelection and answer to the American people again? Remember when he whispered to the Russian president that when he is re-elected he will be able to make more deals with the Russians? Ms. Brown talks about all the failed promises of Barack Obama but even worse than his failed promises are the promises that he has kept. He promised a new health care system and he kept that promise, giving us government-run, terribly expensive ObamaCare with death panels, less choices and inferior health care.

He promised to let gays openly serve in the military and he kept that promise with the result that our military has been greatly weakened and the morale is at an all-time low as is the enlistments and re-enlistments. He promised us that every woman would be able to get free or affordable methods and procedures for abortion and he has kept that promise too. Now any woman has the affordable means to murder her baby any time she wants, resulting in more thousands of precious pre-born babies being killed every year. It must break the heart of God and His beloved Son, Jesus Christ, to see so many of His beautiful children brutally destroyed through abortion. The recent extreme heat wave and violent storms, with millions losing their power and the many floods and fires throughout the country . . . Do you think God is trying to get our attention or punish us because of our wickedness and sinfulness, especially that of the murder of innocent children through abortion? I could go on and on but Ms. Brown’s letter says it so much better. Ms. Brown says at the beginning of her letter, as I say at the end of my recent letter, “Wake up, America.” And how important that command is. For, if we don’t wake up and stop Obama in his tracks, we could wind up like one of the Socialist, bankrupt European countries or, even worse, like one of the Marxist, people-enslaving countries of the Communist world. I pray that every fair-minded and right-thinking American like LaToya brown, whether white or black, Democrat or Republican, conservative or liberal, will wake up and realize what peril our beloved country is in under Obama and especially if he is re-elected in November. We all need to determine with all of our strength to get out and vote this president out of office for the survival of our great country. I say again, loud and clear along with LaToya Brown, “Wake up, America.” Raymond C. Germeroth Mechanicsville see LETTERS, pg. 7

Thanks to the ACLU, People for the American Way, Planned Parenthood and other radical leftist organizations, this is no longer the America our Founders envisioned. From their earliest days, radical leftist organizations knew that a tectonic shift toward socialist, ultraliberal and extremist ideologies could not take place while America’s pulpits were “aflame with righteousness.” Their strategy: Snuff out the flame’s influence little by little . . . gradually . . . almost imperceptibly . . . ultimately silencing people of faith in the public square . . . and all the while indiscernibly changing the course of the nation. Eventually the tectonic shift took place – and now Americans are looking back and wondering what happened! This is not the America our Founders gave us. The fact is, America’s greatness has always been rooted in the fundamental values taught from America’s pulpits. If pulpits are silent, the church is silent. Silencing people of faith in the public square has always been the goal of the ACLU and other liberal “progressive” groups. There are more than 160,000 churches in America that are the kind of impactful, engaged church bodies that the ACLU, People for the American Way and other radical groups have attempted to silence on the key issues of the day. We need to unleash these pastors and church leaders to boldly speak the truth to this generation . . . get them and their congregations to engage in political processes . . . confront the social tectonic shift in America . . . and get every believer to the polls this November.

in Honey Meadows, which is located off Atlee Station Road behind Chickahominy Middle or at ERA Woody Hogg and Associates at 9137 Chamberlayne Road in Mechanicsville. For more information, call 804-5594644. The MDA camp is a weeklong event for children that have Muscular Dystrophy. It is a chance for the children to get together and meet other children and have fun for a week. There are lots of activities they are able to enjoy that week that are not available to them otherwise. Participants said one of the most favorite things is their time at the pool. For most children, time at the pool is fun but many can enjoy it all summer long where many kids with Muscular Dystrophy only have that week. With that in mind, the sponsors decided to sponsor a Swimathon to help raise money to send kids to camp for the week.

A young bride, with no cooking skills, takes mom’s tips By Hazel M.

That conversation was about meat loaf. As promised at that time, managing editor Melody Kinser now shares her mother’s meat loaf recipe. Hazel M.

Every time I make one for a church dinner or for our consumption, it goes very quickly. I would suggest that mashed potatoes and peas are great dishes with this meat loaf. Do save some for a great lunch sandwich the next day!

Bon Secours offers an affinity group for military employees and partners with the Department of Defense to offer specialized employee assistance programming. Training is provided to managers of service members on how to effectively and compassionately assist during the transition from military to civilian work. “The stress of deployment can really weigh on a service member, and knowing that Bon Secours is there to support me and my family is a blessing,” said Patrick Thornton, a surgical assistant who served with the U.S. Navy Reserves in Iraq. “My transition was almost seamless. My supervisor even gave me back the exact same shift that I had when I left.” For the duration of a deployment, Bon Secours maintains full employee medical benefits, waiving employee contributions. Bon Secours extends time off for service members, and children of deployed military are welcome to continue in Bon Secours employee childcare services. “Our supportive culture and comprehensive benefits program meet the work and family

needs of transitioning military employees and their families,” said Jim Godwin, vice president of human resources for Bon Secours Virginia Health System. “Employees with military experience represent the best of Bon Secours, and it is our honor to support them as they transition back to civilian life.” Bon Secours has become an employer of choice for the armed forces.

‘Hey, man, you should post your video on this website because I think a lot of people would be inspired by it,’ ” Dennehy said. “So, I did -- and an hour after I posted it, it got up to the top.” Dennehy performs with his

feet by strumming the guitar as it lies on the floor below him. Most describe his guitar playing as simply astounding, saying that he plays the guitar far better than most people who have two arms. Dennehy’s musical gifts don’t stop with his guitar playing. He has a talent for singing

and looks to a future in the music industry. His video going viral was just the start to a music career that Dennehy needed. His video was featured as video of the day on AOL.com and SportsIllustrated.com. He was featured on websites around the world, including newspapers in

Australia, Greece, Canada and the Huffington Post. He’s trending worldwide on Twitter and doing online interviews with websites such as whatstrending. com and rightthisminute.com. “I guess a lot of people just saw it from there (on Reddit). I don’t know. It just happened,” Dennehy said. “Websites everywhere were just grabbing it.” He is a frequent guitarist in the Worship Band at The Church on the Avenue in Richmond and he also plays at many churches in the Richmond area and at the Ashland Farmer’s Market. He’s soon set to perform on a much bigger stage. A few months ago, Dennehy auditioned for and competed in Richmond’s Got Talent. He won and many are encouraging the 18 year-old to try out for next season’s hit television program, America’s Got Talent. However, his biggest honor to date came last week when a member of the American Rock Band “The Goo Goo Dolls” contacted him and asked if he

He does have interviews scheduled with radio and television shows. He said a TV crew from Romania is coming to Virginia in a few weeks to film him for a program. Then, he will travel to Romania to fin-

ish the show and perform. An aspect that makes Romania so special is that Dennehy was born there and adopted as a young child. So, the visit to his native land will provide him the opportunity to connect with his biological family after 17 years . “It’s awesome and it’s more than I could ever dream of happening in a few short days,” Dennehy said. “It’s very overwhelming and just crazy.” For now, Dennehy said he is staying grounded and thankful for everyone in the Ashland community that has supported him along the way. “Thank you to everyone for posting and sharing my video on Facebook or Twitter,” Dennehy said. “It’s awesome and I want to make this town proud.”

Former CMS teacher takes part in classroom crime scene program Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com Jana Burch, former Gifted and Talented Resource Teacher at Chickahominy Middle School, recently was an instructor at the University of Connecticut’s premiere summer conference for educators. Burch, along with Dave McGann and Kevin Simms, presented “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation in the Classroom” at Confratute, the week-long summer program hosted by the University of Connecticut. “My students were always interested in solving problems and mysteries. CSI is popular with people of all ages . . . the proof is the number of television shows and books dedicated to this subject,” Burch said. “But in the classroom, you can’t just bring popular topics without a strong connection to what you want the students to learn. Math and science skills are a part of the CSI lessons we wrote for Confratute, but we add to that the opportunity for students to use 21st Century Thinking Skills such as critical thinking, creative thinking, collaboration and communication.

“I knew that CSI was interesting to middle school students and that the television shows were popular with every age group, but I was really pleased to see the teachers in my class getting into it .” JANA BURCH Instructor, University of Connecticut

It is a pretty all encompassing curricular tool.” Burch said the teachers attending her class surprised her with their enthusiasm. “I knew that CSI was interesting to middle school students and that the television shows were popular with every age group, but I was really pleased to see the teachers in my class getting into it. They analyzed crime scenes, fingerprints, and DNA with intensity. I think they enjoyed it as much as my students at CMS did. That makes me happy because I know these teachers understand how important engagement is for learners, no matter what the topic is, and will take that back to their classrooms.” For the past 35 years, Storrs, Conn., has attracted more than

20,000 educators worldwide for a highly acclaimed, enrichment-based program sponsored by the Neag Center for Gifted Education and Talent Development. The week-long program is geared toward providing educators with research-based practical strategies for engagement and enrichment learning for all students, as well as meeting the needs of gifted and talented students. Attended by more than 600 educators from across the U.S. and 15 countries around the world, this year’s Confratute was a blending of educators interested in gifted education, differentiation of instruction and curriculum, and creativity and innovation in education. Confratute, founded in

July 1978 by Neag School of Education professor Joseph Renzulli, is the longest-running summer institute of its kind in gifted education. Through exposure to differentiation, talent development and enriching learning experiences, the community of adult learners is able to share similar interests, as well as foster professional growth. “A unique part of the Confratute concept is that it is more than a summer course, more than formal instruction, for it is a careful blend of a conference and an institute with a good deal of fraternity in the middle,” Dr. Sally M. Reis, institute director, said. “Confratute is total immersion and involvement in enrichment, teaching and learning,” she said. “It is the excitement

of new ideas, the satisfaction of hard work, the joy of creating and producing and the happiness that comes from making new friends, having fun and learning a little bit more about themselves.” The informal learning environment provided in more than 50 hands-on class strands fuels interaction between passionate participants, keynoters and faculty members alike.

Dr. Reis attributes much of the program’s success to the enthusiastic and dedicated participants who collectively have brought thousands of years of diverse experience in education. It is the acknowledgement and celebration of differences that make Confratute so memorable and special. For more information on the program, visit http://www. gifted.uconn.edu/confratute/.

McGhee hosts Ag Expo in Hanover Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com About 1,800 farmers, agriculture industry professionals and interested parties gathered on Thursday, Aug. 2, at the 2012 Virginia Ag Expo at Chuck McGhee’s Grainfield Farm in Hanover County. This year’s theme, “Virginia Agriculture: Rich in History — Focused on the Future,” served as a reminder for members “to reflect on our achievements and successes,

while being mindful of how innovation can ensure our future success.” The event included the latest farm equipment, seed demonstration plots and the newest in agriculture technology. As Virginia’s largest producer event, the Ag Expo provides educational opportunities and serves as an essential networking tool. Growers and consumers have the opportunity to discuss and learn more about available services and products.

‘Are You Ready?’ training oﬀered If disaster strikes, are you and your family ready? Hanover County is offering a series of free Community Disaster Preparedness Training Classes called “Are You Ready?” The next class will be held from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 12, at the Mechanicsville Library at 7431 Sherwood Crossing Place in Mechanicsville. The two-hour program will help you to have an awareness of what to do and how to be

informed about hazards and emergencies that may affect you and your family if there is a disaster. It will focus on how you and your family can become self reliant for three days by getting a kit, making a plan, and staying informed. Representatives from the Sheriff ’s Office, Fire/EMS, the Health Department, Social Services, Public Schools and Public Information present the free program. To sign up, call 804-365-4822.

“It is important to showcase and support the strength of Virginia agriculture and its crucial role in our lives. The Virginia Ag Expo allows the opportunity for anyone to experience the fun and complexity of providing food, feed, and fuel. America enjoys the safest, most abundant food supply in the world thanks to our producers, our technologies and our industry innovation. That is something to be celebrated.” said Phil Hickman, president of the Virginia Grain Producers Association.

Hanover Cares has online survey Hanover Cares (the former I CARE Coalition) is conducting an online survey of Hanover County residents between 18 and 24 years old. The survey seeks information on general patterns of alcohol use, the perception of risk of drinking and of driving after drinking, and the availability of alcohol. The survey, completely anonymous, is part of the Virginia Strategic Prevention

Framework State Incentive Grant (SPF SIG) received by Hanover Cares earlier this year. The grant hopes to reduce motor vehicle crashes involving alcohol and drivers who are 15 to 24 years old. The first 300 responses will be entered into a random drawing for an iPad3. Go to www.surveymonkey.com/s/HanoverYAS or the Hanover Cares web page at www.hanover-cares.org.

TAURUS - Apr 21/May 21 Taurus, it’s difficult when you feel like you’re being pulled in too many directions. This may require sitting down and making a priority list to get started.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, your energy is infectious and many people notice how well you keep going when others will simply tire out. You’ll need that energy for work this week, too.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 It’s finally time for you to relax, Scorpio. After weeks of running here and there, you now have the opportunity to simply kick up your feet and enjoy yourself.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Stop looking to others for solutions to your problems, Aquarius. The only one who is qualified to handle them is you and possibly a spouse or romantic partner.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Don’t try to mask your emotions this week, Gemini. It is OK if others see the truth about how you feel. Let others explore the honesty in your expression and actions.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, a big opportunity comes your way that you shouldn’t pass up. Resist the urge to point out all of the negatives and focus only on the positives for the time being.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 What you may view as some innocent comments could be viewed much differently from someone else, Sagittarius. It’s better to censor yourself when you can.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, this week you feel like you’re walking around on a cloud. But you know well you have everything handled.

The Mechanicsville Lions Club recently prepared eyeglasses for recycling. Members shipped more than 200 used eyeglasses to the Lions Club Recycling Center in Roanoke. At the Recycling Center, Lions Club volunteers clean, sort by prescription, strengthen and package the glasses for distribution to people in need in developing countries. According to the World Health Organization, 153 mil-

lion people have uncorrected refractive errors (near-sightedness, far-sightedness or astigmatism). Most of these vision impairments are quickly diagnosed and easy to treat with corrective lenses. Still, millions of people in developing nations are pushed deeper into poverty simply because they don’t have glasses. They can’t learn, because reading is difficult. They can’t work to the best of their ability, because they can’t see clearly. In addition to eyeglass recycling, the Mechanicsville Lions

Club provides assistance to persons in need of glasses in the Mechanicsville area. The club expects to recycle about 2,000 pairs of glasses collected in Mechanicsville this year. The main collection box is located at the Mechanicsville Drug Store with other boxes thru out the area. Club members extend their thanks to “all those persons donating used glasses.” For more information on Mechanicsville Lions club activities, call president Eugene Truitt at 804-746-4734.
