Voting exemption plan advances

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Jim Ridolphi for The Local

County Attorney Sterling Rives said the request to exclude Hanover from the Voting Rights Act pre-clearance requirements is moving forward.

County attorney Sterling Rives provided the Hanover County Board of Supervisors with a status report on the progress of the county’s efforts to receive an exemption from

pre-clearance requirements of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Last Wednesday, Rives said the process is moving forward and outlined a schedule for the application and when an answer from the U.S. Justice Department might be expected.

He said he expects the initial application process to be concluded by January. The county must submit a bulk of paperwork, including minutes from supervisors’ meetings from the last 10 years.

Rives said a DOJ decision

could come as early as next summer.

After a public meeting held earlier in September, he said it was clear that public concerns centered around three issues.

expressed a concern that the county acted first and consulted them after the fact.

Many others said leaving the requirements in place offered them assurances that voter problems would not arise in the future.

Others said the burdensome process is worth it to ensure every voter has equal rights to the poll.

Rives said the county took the measure to make a clear statement that voter discrimination does not take place in Hanover County.

He said it would make the election process more efficient and cost effective.

While the county is requesting a bailout from the pre-clearance requirements of the Voting Rights Act, the remainder of the act would apply to the county.

“All of the requirements of the Voting Rights Act, all of the remedies and protections of the Voting Rights Act will continue

to apply,” Rives said. “If the bailout petition is granted, the only change being whether Hanover has to get approval for any change in voting procedure.”

Individual citizens would retain the right to appeal any voting changes to the Department of Justice.

Rives also addressed recent voting changes affecting the Nov. 6 election.

While identification is required in the commonwealth of Virginia, the list of acceptable documentation is expanded to mirror federal guidelines.

If a voter does not have the proper identification, they will be allowed to cast a provisional ballot.

Within three days after the election, those voters must provide validation of identification in order for that vote to be counted.

In other matters, the board provided chief Building Inspector Richard Bartell with the tools he requested last month to address a mounting problem of unmowed

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.

Bartell said most of the offenders are foreclosed homes, and, often, the banks are slow or non-responsive to the county’s requests to clean up the property.

“This amendment would make life easier for the citizens of Hanover County when reporting a complaint, and make it easier for staff to respond to complaints about tall grass,” Bartell said.

He said the current limit of 15 inches would suffice with increased enforcement capabilities provided in the amended ordinance.

Under the new guidelines, anyone can report a problem and notification is reduced to seven days. While certified mail and return receipts were required in the past, the new rules allow for a simple notice on the door. After seven days, the county is allowed to take action to cut the grass.

OPINION | The Local Views

LETTERS

From the editor

School band experience makes great memories Even though I was a member of my high school marching band, I don’t possess any particular musical skills (but that’s another story). However, the experience provided many good memories and, most of all, created some long-time friendships.

That being said, it’s with enthusiasm and appreciation that we recognize the talented students that Hanover County Public Schools offers with its music departments. And it’s because our district and the parents support these efforts that we have their accomplishments to share with you.

Yes, I’ll admit it: I am a fan of the marching band, jazz band, pep band, whatever ensemble the school program offers its students.

Since the start of the 2012-2013 term, we’ve already shared some photos and events associated with the band programs on the high school level.

We also welcome the same contributions from the other music programs on the elementary and middle school levels.

The foundation music instructors bring to the young, energetic students often lead to top-notch — and scholarship-winning — musicians.

Just like athletics and academic clubs, there is a unique camaraderie among band members. And the work and support of the band boosters organization serves to continue years of successes.

The high school bands here have made quite a name for themselves on the competition circuit. If there’s gold to be won, you can expect one of our four to be bringing it home.

We thank all those involved with the enjoyment the performances provide at sporting events and the competitions. As Hanover County residents, we can all share in the pride of what these students do.

Again, we so delight in sharing the good news of all school activities and that’s what makes us your community newspaper.

It’s because of the schools, the students, the administration and the staff of each and every learning site — and that includes private — that we are a county envied for its education system.

Thank you for what you do and keep the music playing.

Thanks to Peace, delegation for role in promoting history

Street Parties close in style

I recently read about the new improvements to the Hanover Courthouse Complex by improving the sidewalks and lighting.

Kudos to Del. Chris Peace, R-97, for securing funds for the Courthouse project which came from a transportation grant.

Most importantly, this grant also supported development of the Road to Revolution trail linking important Patrick Henry sites around Hanover.

Our citizens, and most importantly our children, need to learn about the important role that patriots like Mr. Henry played in the history of Virginia and America, and these projects help to inform them.

Hopefully, we will become better educated about our rich history and help to bring history buffs and tourists to Hanover, thanks to the work of Del. Peace and our Hanover delegation.

Mike Reynold Mechanicsville

Ashland Street Parties concluded our scheduled season on Saturday night, Sept. 15, at the Library Plaza.

As usual, Ron Moody and The Centaurs closed out our series. And close it out in style they did. What a great performance by these young lads.

In my 40 years as a fan, I am not sure I ever heard any better show from this group. We are fortunate to have Ron as a friend and citizen of Hanover County.

We were overwhelmed with patrons at the party. I didn’t notice any long lines at the food table or the golden beverage truck, but would be remiss if I didn’t apologize to the attendees for the lines at the port-a-potties.

This will be addressed in our next contract with our supplier. It is entirely our fault for “forgetting” to order more and it will be corrected.

For the first time ever, we had noise complaints from four residents of Ashland. We extend our apologies for any inconvenience we may have caused anyone. As a reason we can only offer the fact that we had a different wind direction than we have had for previous Street Parties and more people had open windows due to the great weather.

We made the decision to stop the music a bit early to alleviate any further distractions.

We have always tried to be cognizant of our stewardship of the property and our relationship to any other events, even to the extent of coordinating our sound checks and starting times with weddings at the Hanover Arts and Activities Center and any other venues which have contacted us.

We have made arrangements for next year to have a decibel check along with our sound checks.

Again, please accept our sincere apologies for the

Election spending taken to task We are rapidly approaching the the presidential election. I imagine that is why advertisements for both parties have increased. But why?

All the money that is now spent is wasted and could be used for many other functions of society.

If an individual’s mind is not made up at this time, how much more of the absurd advertisements and speeches must he hear to make up his mind?

Does he believe that he suddenly can make up his mind after a year-long session of mind boggling political speeches and advertisements?

Is he still answering phone call solicitations for opinions and contributions?

How much more money must be spent on individuals in an attempt to change their mind?

Why can’t we just stop this insane system of electioneering now and use the money for more useful purposes such as helping the individuals that can’t watch the advertisements on television, because their set is on the street having been evicted for non-payment of their mortgage or their rent?

During our party a really important event took place, some there may have missed it. This event was the best thing about the entire evening. One of the band members, Daryl Royal, had a surprise visit from his son Joe who was returning from service with the Kentucky Army National Guard in Iraq and Kuwait. We appreciate your service, Joe, and we also appreciate the Royal family who also had another son recently return from active duty.

Some quick facts and thanks are in order. This year we were able to “donate” $17,525 to local nonprofits, which assisted us to present a five-event series of Street Parties. We will post a list on our website, ashlandstreetparties.com, of all these entities.

Smart growth and land use

seem to always down environmentalists, but on this occasion I feel I must agree with several reasons why writers like Kelleigh Nelson and others oppose sustainable development and Agenda 21 set up by the United Nations and now being implemented in every town and county of the U. S. To understand the situation, you need to read Parts 1 and 2 of her article, entitled “Planning Commissions, Smart Growth and Land Use, Part 2,” and you can read Part 2 by clicking on the following link: http://newswithviews.com/Nelson/kelleigh167 Part 1 also can be accessed when you click on the article.

What alarms me here is the environmentalists can be bought off to compromise their values, particularly in that incident involving the Wolf River Airport covered in a another series by Ms. Nelson, the link of which she lists in her current article under the work “link” important measures of the Clean Air Act were clearly violated to satisfy corporate greed.

Environmentalists must

never compromise or let greed get in their way if their heartfelt convictions are always toward a cleaner and safer world.

I am somewhat shocked to learn they can be bought off like so many other groups today.

Panda’s role in zoo world The death of the National Zoo’s baby panda is a poignant reminder of how poorly this species fares in captivity, and how our fascination with these bears has failed them.

The zoo community’s savvy exploitation of one of the world’s most “aww”-inspiring animals has been a marketing coup.

Since the onset of the panda program in the 1970s, the public has been systematically manipulated into believing that they “must see” this particular animal.

Zoos barter, beg, and negotiate to display pandas and their babies, specifically to bring in millions of paying visitors.

The original intent of the program — habitat preservation in China — is rarely even mentioned anymore.

Besieged by a constant onslaught of visitors, artificially and invasively bred, and forever denied their freedom, the only ones not reaping any benefits from the hoopla are the bears themselves.

Pandas are sensitive and shy animals who if left unmolested, will shun contact with humans.

Their soulful eyes and endearing appearance disguise the very real suffering they endure when traipsed around from zoo to zoo as profitable marketing props.

These brave souls will be drawing a line in the sand and congregations all over the fruited plane are encouraging more to join the cause.

They are planning to challenge the IRS by deliberately preaching politics ahead of the presidential election despite a federal ban on endorsements from the pulpit.

The defiant move, they hope, will prompt the IRS to enforce a 1954 tax code amendment that prohibits tax-exempt organizations, such as churches, from making political endorsements.

Alliance Defending Freedom, which is holding the October summit, said it wants the IRS to press the matter so it can be decided in court. The group believes the law violates the First Amendment by “muzzling” preachers.

The purpose is to make sure that the pastor, and not the IRS, decides what is said from the pulpit. This is a head-on Constitutional challenge.

American Heritage Girls take part in Day of Service

A

merican Heritage Girls (AHG), a Christ-centered character development program for girls kindergarten through age 18, demonstrated faith through hands and feet of service on its first annual National Day of Service on Sept. 15.

National Day of Service is AHG’s response to the command of Jesus to “love one another.”

While troops across the nation coordinated efforts on Sept. 15, serving is more than a one-day annual project for American Heritage Girls.

Last year AHG donated more than 230,000 hours of service to their communities.

“Service is a primary component of AHG’s values to incorporate faith in the development of integrity, character and leadership skills,” said Patti Garibay, national executive director and founder of American Heritage Girls. “Real experience serving others gives girls the opportunity to grow in their faith and discover their God-given purpose.”

National Day of Service coincides with AHG’s 17th anniversary.

Since its inception in 1995, AHG membership has grown by 30 to 50 percent each year.

As a nondiscriminatory organization, American Heritage Girls troops are sponsored by civic organizations and churches of multiple denominations.

On this first National Day of Service, individual troops across the U.S. selected their own projects that fulfill the AHG mission to serve God, family, community and country.

Projects included assisting in pregnancy care centers, collecting and distributing food to the needy, collecting and assembling toiletries for the homeless and assisting the elderly with home repair projects.

Many participated in local beautification projects from beaches to local parks.

Scouts and families from Virginia Troop VA1736 in Mechanicsville participated by clearing brush at BSA Camp T. Brady Saunders.

The troop was founded in August 2012 is named for local citizen Patrick Henry, born in Hanover County in 1736.

The troop is enrolling

scouts (for more information, contact ahgva1736@gmail. com).

This kind of service is one facet of the AHG 240-badge program that culminates in the Stars and Stripes Award, AHG’s highest honor.

To earn the Stars and Strips Award, girls must plan, implement and supervise a 100-plushour project to address a need in their community.

This highest AHG award is equivalent to the Boy Scouts of America Eagle Scout Award.

Boy Scouts of America recently recognized American Heritage Girls with a historic Memorandum of Mutual Support.

It is the first of its type presented by Boy Scouts of America to an all-girls organization in its 100-year history.

American Heritage Girls (AHG) is a Christ-centered character development program, open to girls of all faiths and backgrounds, dedicated to the mission of building women of integrity through service to God, family, community and country.

Founded in 1995 in Cincinnati, Ohio, AHG has grown from ten troops and 100 members to more than 20,000

members across four countries and 47 U.S. states.

With emphasis on Christian values and family involvement, girls participate in badge programs, service projects, leadership opportunities and outdoor experiences.

Social Services offers fuel and crisis assistance

The Hanover County Department of Social Services began accepting applications for the Fuel Assistance Program on Tuesday, Oct. 9. The application deadline is Nov. 9.

Fuel Assistance is a temporary program that helps eligible households with the costs of heating their homes.

Benefits are based on the availability of funds and the number of applications received

within the state. In order to be eligible for fuel or utility assistance, your household’s income must be less than the maximum allowed for the number of people in the home, and you must be responsible for paying the heating bill.

Applications will be processed as soon as possible but no later than mid-December.

Funds are sent directly to the vendor beginning the first week in January. Hanover’s share of this statewide allocation is limited.

Last fall, the Hanover

Department of Social Services assisted 968 customers with their bills through the Fuel Assistance program. The total amount of fuel assistance provided was $246,472.36.

Applications for Fuel Assistance are available at the Hanover County Department of Social Services, 12304 Washington Highway, Ashland VA 23005. You can also call a Customer Service Agent at 3654100 and an application will be mailed to you. A face-to-face interview is not required. You can find the link to download

an application by visiting http:// www.dss.virginia.gov/benefit/ ea/fuel/forms.cgi The Hanover Department of Social Services also offers a Crisis Assistance program.

Family hosts walk to battle son’s disease The Arnette family of Mechanicsville, along with local individuals and families from across the region, will come together on Saturday, Oct. 6, at Pole Green Park at 8996 Pole Green Park Lane in Mechanicsville to raise awareness and funds for treatment of Neurofibromatosis (NF).

All proceeds from the Mechanicsville NF Walk will support the Children’s Tumor Foundation’s medical research, patient support and public education programs.

Stephanie Arnette organized this NF Walk because her son Cameron was diag-

nosed with Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) four years ago at age 2. His first MRI showed a large tumor in his neck (Plexiform Neurofibroma) and another in his brain, behind the optic nerves (chiasmatic glioma).

The tumor in his neck is putting pressure on his breathing tube/airway, causing him to snore and have obstructive sleep apnea.

The tumor is his neck is life-threatening.

Cameron started on chemo at age 4, which did not help stabilize his tumor. He started a second kind of chemo at age 6, which also has not proven to be effective,

and was recently taken off the drug. At age 5, the doctors found a third tumor in his spine, by MRI. “As parents, we worry about Cameron’s future. We fundraise because it’s the only thing we can do. We cannot sit idly by and hope that they find a cure. We have to fight hard and now,” said Stephanie. “Cameron lives day-to-day not knowing what might come next. His health is for the day.”

NF is a progressive disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body. It affects millions of people worldwide and is more prevalent than cystic fibrosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy see DISEASE, pg. 17

ReeseStrong event brings out 900+ to fight childhood cancer Contributed Report news@mechlocal.com With September’s childhood cancer awareness month observance, the ReeseStrong Foundation recruited more than 900 participants to take race in the 4th annual ReeseStrong 5K and Gold Ribbon Kids Run on Saturday, Sept. 15.

The ReeseStrong 5K and Gold Ribbon Kids Run take place in the neighborhoods of Rutland and Cool Spring Forest in Mechanicsville.

The kids’ run is split into two age groups, 5 and under and 6 to 12 year olds. Dressed in

their blue RS super shirts, hundreds of kids ran the course.

When the kids completed their race, the 5K runners and walkers took off.

“The field between the Rutland YMCA and Kroger was a sea of blue. Over 1,000 participants, spectators and volunteers gathered together, and had fun showing support for local families of children with cancer, and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital,” Kristin Mudd of ReeseStrong said.

This year the race benefitted the Griffin family of Henrico and the Evans family of Mechanicsville.

Nine-year-old Emily Griffin and 6-year-old Ben Evans were both diagnosed with brain tumors in the spring of 2012.

Participants were encouraged to a start team and recruit family members, friends and co-workers.

The largest team was Pole Green Elementary, with team captain Rhonda Epling, who “spread the word” and had 72 representatives. Emmy’s Army and Woodmark Platoon followed with 56 and 52 members, respectively.

“Congratulations to our Reese’s Cup winner, Bruce see REESESTRONG, pg. 17

Berger,” Kristin added.

She said he set a course record with a time of 15 minutes 55 seconds.

Jackie Morgan, first place female, also set a course record with a female course record time of 19 minutes 13 seconds.

Kristin extended “special thanks to our event photographer Kecia Allen. Her amazing

and Huntington’s disease combined.

The disorder can lead to deafness, blindness, bone abnormalities, learning disabilities and cancer, but NF research is shedding new light on those and other complications as the Foundation searches for effective treatments for Neurofibromatosis.

“Parents of kids living with NF, like the Arnette family, have proven time and again that they will go to the ends of the earth and do anything to find treatments for their child.

continued.

“Our Diamond Level sponsors were HHHunt, Kroger, YMCA; Platinum Level – Bojangles, Papa John’s; Gold Level – Atwood Printing, Call Federal Credit Union, Divine Fitness, Dynamo Soccer Club, East Coast Endodontics, EVB, Giovanni’s, Hanover Pediatric Dentistry, Master Cho’s World Class Tae Kwon Do, Mathnasium, Marty’s Grill, Menchie’s Frozen Yogurt, Mexico Restaurant, Patrick Auto Group, Red Robin, Sheetz, TGI Fridays, Tucker-Franklin Insurance, Walgreens, Walmart; Silver – Atlee Chiropractic

For the full list of ReeseStrong 5K contributors, visit the 5K sponsors page on the ReeseStrong website at www.ReeseStrong.org.

Race director Randy Mudd is described as “the heart and soul of the ReeseStrong 5K, spending countless hours organizing this race.”

“He and ReeseStrong board member Lacey Hampton seek sponsorships from local businesses to add to the event’s success,” Kristin said. “We

exceeded our goal and brought in $32,000. It truly was a community event.”.

Kristin said the ReeseStrong Foundation is dedicated to helping local families stay strong in the battle against childhood cancer.

ReeseStrong strives to raise awareness throughout the year.

The ReeseStrong Foundation formed in 2009 after 6-year-old Reese Klauer was diagnosed with brain cancer.

The all-volunteer organization plans several fun, family friendly events to benefit families affected by this disease.

If their passion alone could fund NF research, this debilitating disorder would have ceased to exist years ago,” said Traceann Adams, director of the NF Walk Program at the Children’s Tumor Foundation.

“Events like the Mechanicsville NF Walk serve as great opportunities to increase awareness about Neurofibromatosis and raise funds to find treatments for those affected.”

For more information about the NF Walk Program, visit www.nfwalk.org.

----About Children’s Tumor Foundation The Children’s Tumor

Foundation is a 501(c)(3) notfor-profit organization that is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of the millions of people worldwide living with neurofibromatosis (NF), a term for three distinct disorders: NF1, NF2 and schwannomatosis.

NF causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body and can lead to blindness, bone

abnormalities, cancer, deafness, disfigurement, learning disabilities, and excruciating and disabling pain.

NF is under-recognized and underdiagnosed yet affects more people than cystic fibrosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and Huntington’s disease combined.

The Children’s Tumor Foundation funds critical

research to find treatments for NF. In addition to benefitting those who live with neurofibromatosis, this research is shedding new light on several forms of cancer, brain tumors, bone abnormalities, and learning disabilities, ultimately benefiting the broader community.

Haynesworth turns Highland Springs into Donte’s Inferno

Johnson to rescue for No. 5 Springers Highland Springs QB runs 8 yards for TD on last play of game

www.mechlocal.com See slideshow online!

By Eric Kolenich Richmond Times Dispatch Out of breath and his chest heaving, Highland Springs quarterback D.J. Johnson sat in the back of the end zone under the goal posts. The siren on the scoreboard blared high and low, indicating the game had ended.

With Johnson barely able to stand, his team picked him up.

He hobbled back to midfield to shake hands while his team went wild. He had just scored an 8-yard touchdown with no time left, sealing the Springers’ miraculous comeback and beating visiting No. 4 Hanover 2421. The Hawks (3-1, 0-1Capital) led 21-6 with 8:13 left in the game.

“I’m exhausted,” Johnson said. “It’s the greatest feeling ever.”

The final play wasn’t supposed to be a run. It was drawn for Johnson to throw to one of three receivers to his right. But he saw the defense stack up on that side, so he went left. When he got to the pylon, he dived and went out of bounds. The referee put up his hands, indicating a touchdown, and the game was over.

“I’m going to run them over to score,” Johnson thought as he raced up the side of the field.

Charlie Leffler/The Local

Hanover’s Donte’ Haynesworth was burning up the turf at Highland Springs on Friday night. Haynesworth scored all of the Hawks’ points on two receptions and a fumble return for a TD. Haynesworth also came up with a big interception to stop a Springer scoring attempt.

Charlie Leffler/The Local

Highland Springs quarterback DJ Johnson, left, spent most of the game looking to escape the the Hanover defense. Above: Hanover’s Daniel Fogleman and Earl Ross (88) break through the line to catch Johnson flat-footed for a sack.

“I’m going to score. That’s all.”

Ideally, the offense should be balanced, coach Loren Johnson said. When the fifth-ranked Springers (4-0, 1-0) are clicking on all cylinders, D.J. Johnson distributes the ball to a host of running backs and regularly carries it himself.

But when they were down late in the game, they turned to their junior quarterback to dig them out of the hole. He ran 33 yards to set up a Daryl Wilson touchdown early in the fourth quarter and threw a 29-yard pass before Roy Adams scored from 2 yards out a few minutes

later to cut the deficit to 21-18.

Then Johnson threw passes of 36 yards and 19 yards to get Highland Springs to the 8-yard line with three seconds left.

The Springers set up for a 25-yard field goal to tie the game. Then Hanover called a timeout.

When play resumed, the Springers held their kicker and sent Johnson out to get the win.

He finished the game with 41 yards on 11 carries and completed 5-of-14 passes for 102 yards.

“I didn’t want to go to overtime,” Loren Johnson said. “Not

tonight. We hadn’t been moving the ball well, especially in the first half.”

The comeback spoiled a strong effort by Hanover running back Lawrence Jones, quarterback Andrew Knizner and receiver Donte Haynesworth.

Haynesworth scored three touchdowns, two receiving and one on a fumble recovery. He also picked off a pass. Knizner completed 7-of-13 passes for 135 yards and two touchdowns.

He mixed in passes, and Jones carried the ball 29 times for 112 yards. see HAWKS, pg. 28 `

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com In the 14th century, Dante’ Alighieri wrote “The Divine Comedy” a three part work of literature that included the book “Inferno”. On Friday night at Highland Springs, the Hanover football team played out their own version titled Donte’s Inferno.

Hanover senior wide receiver/defensive back Donte’ Haynesworth proved to be a demon for the Springers to contend with by scoring all of Hawks’ points and being a torment on defense.

Midway through the second quarter, the Hawks were looking at third-and-28 from their own 19-yard line when Haynesworth went to work.

Breaking out down the left side, Haynesworth raced past the Highland Spring secondary to pull in an Andrew Knizner pass for an 81-yard touchdown play.

Haynesworth started the third in similar fashion. Once again with the Hawks in need of a bailout, Haynesworth got ahead of the Springer secondary to pull in a deep pass.

Soon afterward, it was Haynesworth in the left corner of the endzone, wearing a Springer defender on his back like a cape, he went up to pull in a 3-yard touchdown pass.

He also turned in two of the Hawks’ biggest defensive plays.

Haynesworth took advantage as the Hanover defense, led by two sacks from Brent Combs and one each by Daniel Fogleman and Stu Mains, put Springer quarterback DJ Johnson on the turf. Earl Ross and David Crytser repeatedly forced Johnson into ‘run for your life’ mode.

Late in the third quarter, Johnson tried to escape a sack from Crytser by heaving the

Patriots fall to 0-4, with another close loss

By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local Few football teams can have drawn a worse opening hand than Patrick Henry. A combination of a thin bench, brutal opening schedule, and injuries—the Patriots lost six starters in the Tomato Bowl alone— had Patrick Henry down when it opened against visiting John Marshall Friday night.

After a first half of frustration, in which the Patriots managed only 44 yards total offense and the Justices had a two-touchdown lead, it looked like the game would match the dreariness of the weather at the opening kickoff.

But the determined Patriots came out in the second half

DONTE Continued from pg. 27 b

ball far down field to an open receiver near the goal line.

Haynesworth beat the ball there for an interception.

On the Springers next possession, Johnson tried to force a pitch outside to Ralph Stovall.

The ball went wide as Crytser took Stovall down. Haynesworth was in the right spot to scoop and scamper 38-yards for his third touchdown of the night.

“Donte’ Haynesworth put in one of the best performances I’ve seen,” said Hanover head coach Josh Just. “He played all over the place. Did a great job for us. He’s a dominant football player and I hope some Division I school saw that and gives him a scholarship. He deserves it.”

It seemed the only time Haynesworth was not making plays was when he was catching his breath on the sidelines.

“Even when he was tired he was making plays,” Just said.

But true to Alighieri’s forms of “Inferno” torment, Hanover could feel victory in their hands only to see if slip away in the final second.

and made a game of it, to keep the Justices in reasonable doubt about victory until the final seconds until John Marshall quarterback Jerrelle Pringle ran out the clock on a 27-21 win.

For the undefeated Justices (4-0, 1-0 Colonial), the challenge raised by the winless Patriots (0-4, 0-1) came as no surprise.

“We knew we were playing against a strong Patrick Henry team,” said John Marshall coach Marvin Bridges. “I’ve been watching the scores of the games they’ve been playing before and they’ve been in every game.”

Even after a shut-out first half, in which Patrick Henry earned only two first downs, while John Marshall scored two touchdowns and earned

13 first downs on 192 yards total offense, Bridges expected trouble from the Patriots.

And he got it.

In the second half, Patrick Henry took to the air in earnest, and the connection between quarterback Tyler Phelps and wide receiver Travis Phillips proved especially fruitful, with the duo combining in the final 24 minutes for three completions for 125 yards – all touchdowns.

“It took that to happen to wake us up,” Bridges said. “I told them [the Justices] it wasn’t over just because you have the lead.

You have to finish the game.”

Phelps finished with 11 completions in 16 attempts for 187 yards. Phillips finished with four receptions for 132 yards.

Leading 21-6 with 8:13 left in the game, Hanover appeared to have victory sealed. But the Hawks watched it all slip away in a flurry of flags and miscues.

The Springers began finding holes in the Hawks’ defense to do something they had been prevented from doing most of the night- score- again and again and again.

The Hanover offense was just as much to blame as the defense as the Hawks were unable to pick up first downs and could not get big stops. “We lost momentum,” Just said. “We didn’t move the ball offensively in the second half. Defensively we had too many individual breakdowns.”

Just took the blame. “I feel like I didn’t do a good job of adjusting to it,” he said. “I didn’t feel like I did a good job of changing our game plan at halftime, which is obvious from the score. I wish there was a couple of things I could go back and do to put the kids in better position but I didn’t and that’s something I’ll have to do a better job of next time.”

There will be no escaping an “Inferno” this Friday night for

one team when Hanover and Atlee square off in what should be one he--, heck of a game. It will be a true matchup of the unstoppable force meeting the unmovable object.

In four games this season, Atlee’s offense has scored a total of 204 points; a 51 points per game average. Senior running back Morris Jackson, who has amassed an amazing 1039 yards rushing and 18 touchdowns, is averaging over 259 yards and 4.5 touchdowns per game.

Somewhat overshadowed, Hanover has scored at nearly an equal clip, 151 total points for a nearly 38 point per game average.

Where the two teams differ is on defense. Hanover’s defense is giving up only eight points per game. Atlee’s defense has given up 155 points, nearly 39 points per game. Against their two common opponents, Deep Run and Patrick Henry, Atlee allowed 72 points, Hanover 0.

Statistics indicate Hanover should maintain their high point production. The deciding factor will be if the Hawks’ defense can slow the Atlee juggernaut.

The Mechanicsville Local October 3, 2012

Unfortunately for Patrick Henry, it struggled to contain John Marshall’s two running threats: John Thompson and Zyon Brown. Thompson led the Justices with 30 carries for 200 yards and two touchdowns.

Brown, whose power inside kept the middle of the Patriots’ defense tied down, had 14 carries for 64 yards.

“Brown and Thompson are good football players,” said Patrick Henry coach Sam Hart.

“We knew what they were going to do. It was our job to stop them. We just didn’t stop them enough.”

John Marshall suffered from point-after trouble in the first half and that kept Patrick

Morris Jackson rushed 41 times for 337 yards and five touchdowns as Atlee rolled to a 59-34 victory over Henrico in a Capital District game Friday night. Jackson’s 337 yards puts him at 1,039 yards just four games into the season.

ing a Hawks team that is fired up and looking to rebound from a bitter loss.

Though that loss to Highland Springs will be a torturous memory for Hanover, the game will not be wiped from their minds. “We’re going to come back to this game,” Just said.

“We’re going to reflect on what this feels like. We lost to a really good team out here tonight but we had a chance to win it and we just let it go.”

As against Highland Springs, Hanover will be without the services of senior do-everything player Sam Rogers. Rogers suffered a dislocated finger and is not due to return until after the Hawks play Atlee.

Even though the was not on the field at Highland Springs, Just felt Rogers played a vital role. “Sam’s a great player and a great leader so anytime you lose one of the best players in the state, and one of the best people, it brings your team down a little,” Just said. “But he was a leader out here tonight talking to the team, talking to the kids, he led even though he wasn’t in.”

The Justices failed to convert on a kick and a run after their first and second touchdowns, respectively, and had only a 120 lead at halftime. That changed in the second half, with a successful kick after a touchdown on the opening drive of the second half to give John Marshall a 19-0 lead, but Patrick Henry struck quickly to close the gap.

On the ensuing kickoff, Parrish Gordon’s 24-yard return gave Patrick Henry a first-and10 on their 49. They took 10 plays to score on Phelps 9-yard pass to Phillips. Connor McKee’s kick made it 19-7.

But the Patriot momentum was not to last. Despite a Justice fumble on the following kickoff, Patrick Henry’s offense could not get past the John Marshall 35-yard line, where it returned the ball to the Justices on downs with 1:51 left in the third quarter.

“That was a big drive,” Hart said. “We didn’t finish that drive off. If we could’ve gone ahead, we’d have been okay.”

Storm returns to boost Jackets Contributed report EMORY, VA -- The Randolph-Macon Football team ran its winning streak to three as it opened ODAC play with a 2210 road win at Emory & Henry on Saturday.

R-MC (3-1, 1-0 ODAC) handed E&H (3-1, 0-1) its first loss of the year.

The Yellow Jackets rolled up 376 yards of offense and held possession for over 35 minutes en route to the victory.

Quarterback Zac Naccarato completed 79 percent of his passes on the day, going 15-of19 for 233 yards.

Naccarato connected with wide receivers Christian Cook and Luke Sellers six times each in the win.

The two pronged running game of Drake Sanders and Will McGhee combined for 144 yards on the day, gaining 80 and 64 yards, respectively.

On the defensive side of the ball, R-MC held E&H to just seven yards on the ground, while sacking quarterback Kyle Bodden four times. Bodden finished the game 31-of-51, for 359 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

R-MC jumped out to a 10-0 lead following a 43-yard field goal from Josh Storm with 35 seconds left in the first quarter. The Jackets first touchdown of the game came on its first possession of the second quarter. R-MC strung together a 10-play drive that covered 64 yards in just over three minutes. Naccarato was 4-of-4 on the drive and tight end Dan Crouch had a one-yard touchdown plunge for the score.

The Wasps got on the board on its next possession via a Matt Turchin 32-yard field goal with seven minutes remaining in the half.

Storm , coming back from injury, connected on another field goal (39 yards) with 1:03 to go to put R-MC up 13-3.

E&H then drove down to the Randolph-Macon 1-yard line with six seconds remaining.

Bodden attempted to score, but was stopped and with no timeouts, the half ended.

A 42-yard field goal by Storm on R-MC’s first possession of the second stanza gave R-MC a 16-3 edge and the Jackets would ice the contest with just over seven

minutes to go when Naccarato scored on a keeper from 1-yard out to make it 22-3.

Danny Hunt led R-MC with nine tackles. Akeem Hardy had eight stops and Ian Candelaria had seven, including one sack.

R-MC senior defensive lineman Cross Trued earned ODAC Defensive Player of Week honors after becoming a mainstay in E&H backfield, Trued recorded 2.5 sacks for a -22 yards. He made three stops behind the line of scrimmage, accounting for 23-yards lost.

With teammate Calvin Davis (Lee-Davis), Trued combined on a 10-yard sack in the third quarter, and had a pair of solo efforts in the fourth quarter, (-7, -10). Trued finished the contest with six total stops.

Locals put best foot forward at Maymont Breidenbaugh and Atlee’s Hall shine

By Jordan Bondurant Richmond Times Dispatch Atlee’s Nathaniel Hall was nervous as he stepped to the starting line for Saturday’s boys invitational division race at the 10th annual Maymont XCountry Festival.

“I normally don’t get nervous right before a race,” Hall explained. “I don’t know what it was, but I was just nervous.”

Maybe it was the presence of Jacob Burcham from Cabell Midland in West Virginia.

Burcham entered the race as the heavy favorite and didn’t disappoint, winning in 15 minutes, 28 seconds. Hall’s nerves quickly dissipated when the race began and he finished fourth in 15:43. Deep Run’s Matthew Novak earned 10th with a time of 16:16. Severna Park (Md.) won the boys team title with 9 points, followed by Cabell Midland and Downington West (Pa.).

Hall, the defending Central Region champion and AllMetro runner of the year, had set the bar high for area runners this season by winning the Fork Union and Wood-berry Forest invitationals. While beating a national elite runner such as Burcham would have been a feather in his cap, this race also B. Harrison 1-4; Dan Crouch 1-1; TEAM 1-minus 2; Zac Naccarato 15-minus 4. Emory & Henry-Kasey Jones 9-29; Joe Vaughn 3-5; Kyle Boden 8-minus 27.

PASSING: Randolph-Macon-Zac Naccarato 15-19-0-233. Emory & Henry-Kyle Boden 31-55-1-359.

RECEIVING: Randolph-MaconChristian Cook 6-98; Luke Sellers 4-98; Vance Hendren 2-14; Kyle Norton 1-14; Will McGhee 1-7; Drake Sanders 1-2. Emory & Henry-Corey Ware 6-65; Deion George 5-63; Chad Williams 5-47; Adam Pugh 4-67; Kasey Jones 4-14; Lucas Kirby 3-67; Cleo Cooper 224; DaVon Ross 1-16; Nate Dorton 1-minus 4.

served as a potential state preview. There were competitors in the field he could see again in November, and Hall made the race more about running the best he could and putting his toughest competition behind him.

“I have a few rivals out there,” he said. “It was just such a great feeling to know I had my No. 1and 2 rivals behind me.”

Hall was not fazed by the challenges presented by the hilly course at Maymont. Despite not catching Burcham, Hall had much more to smile about after coming across the line.

“That time was a new personal best for me,” he said. “I actually thought I was running pretty slow. When my coaches were yelling my split times at me, I knew I had to pick it up. It definitely was a nice result.”

Atlee coach Jim Triemplar saw this as a big opportunity for Hall.

“Nathaniel is an incredibly hardworking and dedicated athlete,” Triemplar said. “For him to PR at this point in the season says a lot about him as a worker.

He set a goal at the beginning of the season to be on the podium at the state meet, and if he can keep running like this, I don’t think there is anything or anyone that can keep him from achieving that goal.”

Lake Braddock ran away with the girls invitational divi-

sion with 43 points. Lee’s Summit West (Mo.) was second with 74, and Downing-ton West (Pa.) third with 120.

Maggie Walker’s Rachel Galton used a quicker-than-normal start to keep pace with the leaders for a large portion of the race to finish seventh in 19:02.

“I started the race out really fast,” Galton said. “But I was happy with the way everything turned out. It was an honor to be able to run with the lead pack for a little bit.”

Molly Breidenbaugh of Trinity Episcopal won the girls coastal division race in 18:40 to help the Titans finish seventh as a team. Breidenbaugh, a firstteam All-Metro selection in 2011, transferred to Trinity Episcopal after winning the Capital District title as a sophomore at Hanover.

Teammate Katie Bowe was second in 19:43.

“I couldn’t be happier with the way I ran today,” Breidenbaugh said. “It’s been a good season so far, and I’ve worked hard. It was nice to see some of that hard work pay off today.”

Trinity Episcopal’s boys team finished third in the coastal division championship. Reider Strehler finished second in 16:22, and Mac Strehler was third in 16:24.

Teams representing nine states and Washington, D.C., competed in 15 races on the day.

Lee-Davis is back with OT win over Atlee Smith’s 27 saves not enough to hold off Confederates

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Not so long ago, the Capital District field hockey title was a constant battle between two teams; Atlee and Lee-Davis.

Times changed, Hanover developed into a solid program and Lee-Davis fell on lean years.

But tied 2-2 in the closing seconds of overtime last Wednesday, Lee-Davis senior Taylor Loomis drilled a shot through the Atlee defense for the win to make a definitive statement.

“We’re back,” Loomis said.

It was the first time the three year starter was able to knock off her rivals. “It’s a good way to play my last regular season game against Atlee,” she said. “We’ve never beat them since I’ve been a starter on varsity.”

With the victory Lee-Davis (6-3, 6-1 Capital) moved into a first place tie with Atlee (8-2, 61) atop the district standings.

Three years ago, it was LeeDavis head coach Courtney Jones that built the Confederates into a perennial district contender. It was Jones, back on the sidelines for the first time in three years, which put LeeDavis back on top of the district race.

The biggest challenge for Jones coming into the season was rebuilding confidence among the Confederates. “When I coached here three years ago, it always came down to Atlee and Lee-Davis,” she said. “So coming back and knowing they hadn’t beat Atlee in three years… the preparation that it took was I had to get them mentally in this game and I had to get them to believe in themselves and know we could change the past.

I think they questioned themselves at moments in the game but they pulled it off and now they have a new picture in their head. They know that Lee-Davis can overcome Atlee and we’ll see where we end up in the final round later on this season.”

On the opposite end of the field, Atlee head coach Alyssa Farling was facing the difficulty if calming her players down. “It’s always an emotional game,” she said. “It’s always very keyed up.

That’s the hardest part is to keep them calm and keep their head in the game. That’s something we focused on, even from the last time, they know when we huddle up, let’s calm back down, get in the game.”

Lee-Davis hit the field aggressively and dominated possession of the ball throughout putting Atlee back on their heels early.

“We played a lot of defense, we played more defense than we normally play,” Farling said.

“That’s the most defense we’ve had to play yet this season.”

In the game, the Confederates played 21 corners included 14 consecutive over a 23 minute span in the second half.

The Mechanicsville Local October 3, 2012

In comparison, Atlee played a total of four corners in the entire game. “What I’m pleased about on that end is they could have scored a whole lot more but we held them off on defense,” Farling said.

That defense was led by an incredible performance from Atlee keeper Hayley Smith who finished with an astounding 27 saves and repeatedly repelling Lee-Davis.

“It’s extremely frustrating,” Jones said. “We’ve been working a lot this season, especially on our offensive corners, so it’s frustrating when the one thing you’ve been striving to succeed at is the constant battle they fight.”

Smith took her stand early when Lee-Davis’ Madison Doss was awarded a penalty shot eight minutes into the contest. Doss sent her one-on-one attack to the left side of the goal where Smith swatted the ball away.

The Confederates finally found pay dirt in the 21st minute when Lauren Wolfgang connected off a corner play from the left side. The Lee-Davis score gave Atlee motivation.

“I felt like they kept hitting

it right between our legs and we were looking a little flat right at the beginning,” Farling said. “But they got motivated when (LeeDavis) hit the backboard. Then we picked it up.”

Facing a 1-0 deficit, Atlee went on the offense and finally got their first corner of the game in the 22nd minute. Over the next six minutes, the Raiders had six consecutive corners, finally getting on the scoreboard when Ally Richie fed the ball to Jasmine Zollar for a goal with a little over two minutes left in the half.

The Raider momentum carried into the second half and Atlee jumped out to a quick 2-1 lead in the 31st minute as Zollar scored off a Jessica Fairly feed.

But the rest of the half was all Lee-Davis as the Confederates played 14 consecutive corners before tying the game with less than six minutes remaining when Harper Matthews scored off an assist from Wolfgang which sent the contest to overtime.

In OT, Atlee could not take advantage on two quick corners, which opened the door for LeeDavis to take the win.

to play the Confederates looked like they had the contest locked up. Cameron Gibson drove center goal and Smith tripped then fell trying to get the block.

The ball rolled to the left side of the box with nothing between Gibson and the backboard… or so it seemed.

As Gibson got low to drive the score in, Smith came diving in on her side, seemingly out of nowhere, to block the line. “She does a beautiful dive and split,” Farling said. “When she can get those in it’s worth seeing.”

But the play was not dead.

When Gibson tried to adjust her shot over the Atlee keeper, Smith rose to her knees forcing Gibson to go high and the ball sailed over the box.

Two minutes later, Loomis went to work.

“My team really brought it up the field,” she said. “It took a couple crosses but they put it right on my stick and it was just an open goal from there.”

The Confederates stormed the field in celebration.

After the festivity died down, Jones admitted she was uncertain how her team would react facing the challenge. “I knew we were capable of winning this

game but I knew that we were in even competition,” she said.

“Somehow we’ve always been with Atlee and I was hoping that we’d be done in 60 minutes. But to be honest with you, this is where you get to see the true hockey come out and the girls pull it together on both sides and play their hearts out and they did just that.”

‘Doggie Days’ tourney benefits Humane Society The “9 Hole Ladies League” of Hanover Country Club recently sponsored its Third Annual “Doggie Days” Tournament.

The event, organized to benefit the Hanover Humane Society, featured 27 players, three players per designated nine holes on Hanover Country Club’s Golf Course.

To add to the animal theme, each hole was decorated with cat, dog and bird hole sponsor signs.

Tournament organizer Suzanne Harman worked with Jeffrey Cornwell, general manager of the Hanover Country

Club, to promote and produce the event.

Proceeds from the event yielded more than $850 in donations for the Hanover Humane Society.

According to Juliet Nisley of the Hanover Humane Society,

“Fat Cat” and Mark from Fin and Feather in Ashland sponsored four holes in the tournament and provided four prizes.

Additional supporters included James River Cellars Winery in Glen Allen, which donated bottles of wine that were used as door prizes. Bruce and Meredith Bass, owners of “Wild Birds Unlimited” in Short Pump, provided a bird feeder and seed for a door prize on the “birdie” hole. The “Eagle” hole was sponsored by the Air Force Eagle.

Tax-filing and payment extensions expire on Oct. 15 The Internal Revenue Service on Monday, Oct. 1, urged taxpayers whose tax-filing extension runs out on Oct. 15 to double check their returns for often-overlooked tax benefits and then file their returns electronically using IRS e-file or the Free File system.

Many of the more than 11 million taxpayers who requested an automatic six-month extension this year have yet to file. Though Oct. 15 is the last day for most people, some still have more time, including members of the military and others serving in Iraq, Afghanistan or other combat zone localities who typically have until at least 180 days after they leave the combat zone to both file returns and pay any taxes due. People with extensions in parts of Louisiana and Mississippi affected by Hurricane Isaac also have more time, until Jan. 11, 2013, to file and pay.

E-file now: it’s fast, easy and often free

The IRS urged taxpayers to choose the speed and convenience of electronic filing. IRS e-file is fast, accurate and secure, making it an ideal option for those rushing to meet the Oct. 15 deadline. The tax agency verifies receipt of an e-filed return, and people who file electronically make fewer Check out tax benefits mistakes too.

There is no IRS fee for any of these services, but for debit and credit card payments only, the private-sector card processors do charge a convenience fee. For those who itemize their deductions, these fees can be claimed on Schedule A Line 23. Those who choose to pay by check or money order should make the payment out to the “United States Treasury”.

Taxpayers with extensions should file their returns by Oct. 15, even if they can’t pay the full amount due.

Doing so will avoid the late-filing penalty, normally five percent per month, Quick and easy payment options that would otherwise apply to any For unemployed workers who filed unpaid balance after Oct. 15.

ment agreement with the IRS on line in a matter of minutes. Those who owe $50,000 or less in combined tax, penalties and interest can use the Online Payment Agreement to set up a monthly payment agreement for up to six years or request a short-term extension to pay. Taxpayers can choose this option even if they have not yet received a bill or notice from the IRS. Taxpayers can also request a payment agreement by filing Form 9465FS. This form can be downloaded from IRS.gov and mailed along with a tax return, bill or notice.

Alternatively, some struggling taxpayers qualify for an offer-in-compromise. This is an agreement between a taxpayer and the IRS that settles the taxpayer’s tax liabilities for less than the full amount owed. Generally, an offer will not be accepted if the IRS believes the liability can be paid in full as a lump sum or through a payment agreement. The IRS looks at the taxpayer’s income and assets to make a determination regarding the taxpayer’s ability to pay.

Details on all filing and payment options are on IRS.gov.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

A Special Supplement to The Mechanicsville Local

October 3, 2012

Breast cancer is not exclusive to women T

here are many people — male and female — who are completely unaware that men are susceptible to breast cancer. With preventative mammograms and messaging largely geared toward women, men may not even think about the breast cancer risk to themselves.

Although less prevalent among men, breast cancer is not exclusive to women. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 2,000 new cases of invasive breast cancer

are diagnosed in men each year, and approximately 450 men die from breast cancer annually. Male breast cancers account for approximately 1 percent of all breast cancer cases. The Canadian Cancer Society reports that less than one percent of Canadian men develop breast cancer, and men over the age of 60 are most likely to be diagnosed.

To understand how men get breast cancer one must to know about the physical makeup of the male body.

Like women, men have breast

tissue. Before boys or girls enter puberty, they have similar breast structures, including breast tissue and a few ducts under the nipple and areola.

During puberty, female hormones further develop the milk ducts and lobules, or milk-producing glands. For males, testosterone levels increase during puberty, stalling further growth of breast tissue. However, what was already there remains, and in that tissue, cancerous cells can grow and multiply. There also are lymph nodes in the

breast region and under the arms. Cancer cells can travel through the lymph nodes to other areas of the body.

Because men have considerably less breast tissue than women, diagnosis of cancer can be easier. A lump in the breast is more noticeable on a man than on a woman. The American Cancer Society also lists a few other symptoms that could be indicative of breast cancer: * lumps in the nipples or chest muscle. * nipples turning inward.

* skin dimpling or puckering around the nipple. * redness or scaling of the nipple or breast skin. * discharge from the nipple.

Benign growths can be mistaken for breast cancer.

Also, men can have a condition called gynecomastia, which is a noncancerous breast tissue growth that may be mistaken for cancer. If any symptoms are present, they should be brought to the attention of a doctor for further investigation.

If it is breast cancer, treatment methods are largely the same among men and women. A combination of chemotherapy, radiation and surgery may be recommended depending on the stage and positioning of the cancerous tumors.

Although it is rare, breast cancer does occur in men.

Therefore, guys should be aware of their bodies and the breast area and be on the lookout for any changes that could lead to problems.

— Metro Creative

In breast cancer detection, the test matters (ARA) - One in eight American women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime. However, early detection coupled with advanced treatment options

has cut mortality rates by a tion by making mammograms third in the U.S. over the past more detailed and accurate.

20 years. Today, a new breakthrough technology is poised Catching breast to provide a dramatic improve- cancer early ment in breast cancer detecStudies show that when breast cancer is detected early the chance for successful treatment is nearly 100 percent.

Mammograms are a critical component of a successful screening program. In fact, mammograms can identify an abnormal breast mass up to two years before it can be detected by touch. It’s for this reason that the American Cancer Society recommends every woman, every year, starting at the age of 40, get a mammogram.

3D mammography - Changing the face of breast cancer screening A new imaging technology called 3D mammography or breast tomosynthesis is changing how doctors screen

2B

for breast cancer. This sophisticated technology significantly improves breast cancer screening by identifying small cancers that may have been missed by traditional mammography.If cancers are found when they are small, treatment options are generally less traumatic and the chance for a cure is greater.

Another benefit of 3D mammography is its ability to reduce stress-inducing call backs. As many as one out of 10 women who have a routine screening mammogram will be asked to come back for additional tests. The majority of these women - up to 80 percent - will experience what’s called a “falsepositive” which means that an area that looked suspicious on their screening mammogram turned out, upon further testing, to be normal.

3D mammography makes finding breast cancers easier

Current mammography relies on a 2D image. However, this technology has its limits because the breast is a 3dimensional object composed of different structures, such as blood vessels, milk ducts, fat, and ligaments. All of these structures, which are located at different heights within the breast, can overlap and cause confusion when viewed as a 2dimensional, flat image. This confusion of overlapping tissue is a leading reason why small breast cancers may be missed and normal tissue may appear abnormal, leading to unnecessary call backs. Many doctors have reported that the introduction of Hologic’s Selenia Dimensions tomosynthesis system improves breast cancer detection by overcoming many of the limitations inherent in conventional 2D mammography.

Although patients will notice little difference between a 2D and a 3D mammogram, the 3D technology gives doctors a clearer view through the

overlapping structures of breast tissue. Reading a breast tomosynthesis exam is like flipping through the pages of a book to view one page at a time instead of seeing the whole breast reduced to a single frame, as is the case with conventional 2D mammography.  The ability to look at each layer of breast tissue millimeter by millimeter allows doctors to identify individual structures in the breast free from the confusion of overlying tissue.

The bottom line Women should talk to their physician about the best screening program for them, based on their age, family history and medical profile.

Women need to pay attention to any changes, such as unusual lumps, swelling, irritation, dimpling, or pain in the breast or nipple. Finally, women who are 40 and older should be sure to have a mammogram every year.

Exploring the different types of breast cancer

reast cancer is a universal term to describe several different cancers that form in and around the breasts. Breast cancer types are generally categorized based on where the illness begins, most often in the ducts or lobules, the parts of the female anatomy responsible for producing breast milk.

About 226,870 new cases of invasive breast cancer in American women will be diagnosed in 2012, while more than 22,000 Canadian women will be diagnosed with breast cancer over that same time period.

The National Breast Cancer Foundation lists

How-to conduct a breast self-exam E

arly detection of breast cancer can improve survival rates and lessen the severity of treatment options.

Routine mammograms are essential to catching signs of breast cancer early on but so can home-based breast exams.

Over the years there has been some debate over the effectiveness of breast selfexams, or BSEs, is effective. Different breast cancer organizations have different views on the subject.

Some studies have indicated that a BSE is not effective in reducing breast cancer mortality rates. Some argue that these exams also may put women at risk -- increasing the number of potential lumps found due to uncertainty as to what is being felt in the breast. This can lead to unnecessary biopsies. Others feel that a BSE is a good practice, considering that roughly 20 percent of breast cancers are found by physical examination rather than by mammography, according to BreastCancer. org.

The American Cancer Society takes the position that a BSE is an optional screening tool for breast cancer. For those who are interested in conducting self-exams, here is the proper way to do so. * Begin with a visual inspection of the breasts.

Remove clothing and stand in front of a mirror. Turn

and pivot so the breasts can be seen at all angles. Make a note of your breasts’ appearance. Pay special attention to any dimpling, puckering or oddness in the appearance of the skin. Check to see if there is any change in symmetry or size of the breasts. * Continue the examination with hands placed by the hips and then again with your hands elevated overhead with your palms pressed together. * Next you will move on

to a physical examination.

This can be done either by reclining on a bed or the floor or any flat surface. The exam also can be done in the shower. To begin examining the breasts, place the hand and arm for the breast you will be examining behind your head. Use the pads of your pointer, middle and ring fingers to push and massage at the breast in a clockwise motion. Begin at the outer portion of the breast, slowly working inward in a circular motion until you are at the nipple.

Be sure to also check the tissue under the breast and by the armpit. * Do the same process on the opposite breast. Note if there are any differences from one breast to the other.

If you find any abnormalities, mark them down on an illustration that you can bring to the doctor. Or if you can get an appointment immediately, draw a ring around the area with a pen so that you will be able to show the doctor directly where you have concern.

It is a good idea to conduct a BSE once a month and not when menstruating, when breasts may change due to hormone fluctuation.

Frequent examinations will better acquaint you with what is normal with your breasts and better help you recognize if something feels abnormal.

Anatomy of a healthy breast Many women are unaware of the anatomical makeup of their breasts. That can make it difficult for women diagnosed with breast cancer to fully understand the disease. This crosssection represents a healthy breast. In many cases, breast cancer involves the small circular parts contained in the mammary glands, called lobules, and the tubes within the breasts, called the ducts. However, breast cancer may spread to the tissue surrounding the lobules and ducts as well as the lymph nodes around the breast. Use of mammography as well as a breast self-exam can help alert women to the presence of lumps anywhere in the breast, which could be indicative of cancerous tumors.

What to expect after a mastectomy A

person’s life changes when he or she receives a breast cancer diagnosis. There are many questions that need to be answered, and one of them is usually, “What are my options?”

One of the treatment options in the fight against breast cancer is a mastectomy. Though the number of mastectomies performed each year was in decline a mere decade ago, more and more are now being performed thanks in large part to less invasive treatments.

A study of more than 5,000 Mayo Clinic cancer patients revealed a 13 percent increase in the number of mastectomies performed between 2003 and 2006.

A small but growing number of women are also electing to have “preventative” mastectomies, which could involve 8B

removing one or both of the breasts if there is a high genetic disposition to getting breast cancer in the family or if cancerous cells were detected in one breast. In 2006, the last year for which national data is available, more than 15 percent of breast cancer patients ages 18 to 39 had a healthy breast removed, says the University of Minnesota’s Elizabeth Habermann, co-author of a 2010 study in the Journal of Clinical Oncology.

A mastectomy is an umbrella term used to describe the removal of the entire breast, portions of the breast, or just the lymph nodes under the armpits.

The main types of a mastectomy include:

breast tissue, skin, areola, and nipple. In some cases, the lining over the chest muscles, as well as most of the underarm lymph nodes, is also removed.

Simple total mastectomy: This surgery involves removal of the entire breast, tissue, skin, areola and nipple.

Skin-sparing mastectomy: The breast tissue, nipple and areola are removed, but the skin is spared. Breast reconstruction surgery is typically performed immediately after.

Nipple-sparing mastectomy: Only the breast tissue is removed, leaving the skin, nipple, areola and chest wall muscles.

through education, providing diagnostic breast care services for those in need and providing nurturing support services.

Susan G. Komen for the Cure

Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation

Susan G. Komen fought breast cancer with her heart, body and soul.

Throughout her diagnosis, treatments and endless days in the hospital, she spent her time thinking of ways to make life better for other women battling breast cancer instead of worrying about her own situation. That concern for others continued even as Susan neared the end of her fight. In 1982, her sister Nancy organized a movement to further Susan’s efforts.

Since its inception, the organization has invested more than $1.9 billion in breast cancer research and, in efforts to raise breast cancer awareness, has become the largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to the fight against breast cancer in the world.

Since 1986, the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation has been at the forefront of a nationwide movement to raise awareness and mobilize action on breast cancer. Today, the foundation is the leading organization in Canada dedicated to creating a future without breast cancer. Their investments in vital research, education and health promotion programs have led to progress in breast cancer prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care.

National Breast Cancer Foundation, Inc. The National Breast Cancer Foundation’s mission is to save lives through early detection and to provide mammograms for those in need. Their mission includes increasing awareness

BreastCancer.org Breastcancer.org is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing the most reliable, complete, and up-todate information about breast cancer.

Their mission is to help women and their loved ones make sense of the complex medical and personal information about breast cancer, so they can make the best decisions for their lives.

Breast Cancer Society of Canada: For 20 years, the Breast Cancer Society of Canada has been a registered, national, not-for-profit, charitable organization dedicated to funding Canadian breast cancer research into the detection, prevention and treatment of breast cancer and to ultimately find a cure for the disease. It was begun by the husband and parents of Pamela Greenaway-Kohlmeier after she lost her battle with breast cancer in 1992.

Breastfeeding with breast cancer M any mothers subscribe to the belief that breastfeeding is healthy for their children. Medical experts encourage breastfeeding for at least a period of one year so that the infant receives optimal nutrition and the antibodies necessary to start off life on a healthy track.

But what of the mothers who have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer or previously undergone treatment? Although it may be challenging, breastfeeding might still be possible for women in such situations.

Even under the best circumstances, many women find breastfeeding is challenging. Some babies do not take to it as easily, having difficulties latching on. As a mother, it may take a while to grow accustomed to breastfeeding or even for your milk to come in full force. Having breast cancer may make the process even harder. Stress can take its toll on the body, including causing physiological symptoms that can inhibit the production of milk or even make mothers feel less confident in their ability to breastfeed.

It is adviseable for any woman thinking about breastfeeding to enlist the help of a lactation coach or consultant.

This can be especially beneficial to women with breast cancer, as lactation coaches are knowledgeable in how to express and store milk. Once a woman has started breastfeeding, she will need to maintain

her milk supply, which can be problematic if she has to stop breastfeeding for a period of time due to cancer treatment.

The consultant can guide you through the proper procedures, which may include a “pump and dump” process.

This will keep the milk coming, but you will be discarding milk that may have been compromised by treatment.

Women with a current cancer diagnosis or those who have had treatment in the past should consult with their obstetricians and oncologists as to whether breastfeeding is adviseable. The doctors may be able to work together on a plan that is acceptable to all parties. If breast cancer is detected in lactating breasts, there may be a temporary interruption in the breastfeeding schedule. Although needle biopsies and other methods of detection can be used to circumvent radiation-based methods of diagnosis, many of the treatments for cancer

involve cocktails of medications, chemotherapy or even surgery -- all of which could affect breast milk.

It is important to discuss with your physicians when your milk will be safe again before returning to breastfeeding. Chemotherapy and some types of radiation can leave residual harmful chemicals in the body and breast milk. Surgery may damage milk ducts, causing a compromised supply. Each case varies and will have to be assessed by the health professionals involved.

The good news is that although breast cancer can temporarily derail breastfeeding plans, it doesn’t always have to mean weaning a baby from breast milk. Also, there is no evidence that breast milk from a cancer survivor poses any risk to the infant.

Many women go on to survive breast cancer and successfully breastfeed.

Establishing the pink ribbon symbol T

he pink ribbon has been synonymous with breast cancer for years.

Nowadays, people rarely think twice when they see pink ribbons, having grown accustomed to the pink ribbon and what it symbolizes.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month has been celebrated each year since 1985, and many other breast cancer awareness initiatives have been devised since then. While the pink ribbon may seem like it’s been in use for just as long, it was actually established only about 20 years ago.

Ribbons have long symbolized something important. For decades, yellow ribbons have been used to alert others to soldiers at war or hostages that hadn’t

yet come home. People often tie yellow ribbons around trees at home until their service men and women came home safely. During the height of HIV/AIDS activism and awareness, red ribbons were worn to symbolize support for those with the disease.

Although the pink ribbon evolved because pink expresses femininity, calm, health, and youth, the first breast cancer ribbon was actually peach. Charlotte Haley is credited with devising the first breast cancer ribbon in 1992. She was a breast cancer survivor and came from a family of women who also fought the disease. She created peach-colored loops at home and then distributed the ribbons at her local grocery stores. Haley encouraged people

to wear the ribbons and contact legislators to demand more funding for breast cancer research.

An attached note was distributed with the ribbons stating, “The National Cancer Institute annual budget is $1.8 billion, only 5 percent goes for cancer prevention.

Help us wake up our legislators and America by wearing this ribbon.”

The same year Evelyn Lauder, senior corporate vice president for the Estee Lauder company, and Self magazine editor Alexandra Penney teamed up to produce a pink ribbon. It was distributed at makeup counters all across the country. The company collected more than 200,000 pink ribbon petitions asking the U.S. government for increased fund-

ing for breast cancer research.

Although Lauder and Haley reached people on different levels, their goals were the same: To educate the public on the lack of funds allotted to breast cancer research.

Pink ribbons are now seen all over and have become the uniting force for millions of women who are facing breast cancer or supporting someone with the disease. In 1996, Nancy Nick created a blue-

Breast cancer is a disease that affects thousands of people each year. According to Susan G. Komen for the Cure, 226,870 new cases of invasive breast cancer in women will be diagnosed this year (including new cases of primary breast cancer among survivors but not the recurrence of original breast cancer among survivors). There also will be 63,300 new cases of in situ breast cancer (including ductal carcinoma in situ, or DCIS, and lobular carcinoma in situ, or LCIS). It is estimated that there will be 39,510 breast cancer deaths in 2012. Although breast cancer is rare among men, there are still cases that occur each year. It is estimated that there will be 2,190 new cases of breast cancer cases in men, and there could be 410 breast cancer deaths.

In cases where underarm lymph nodes had to be removed, there may be extensive scarring under the arms. Therefore. when trying on blouses and other shirts, take a close look at the armholes.

Anything too loose may make you feel uncomfortable if it exposes scarring.

Depending on how much tissue and breast wall has been removed, the chest may actually be concave.

Wearing patterned shirts can help disguise this area and draw attention away. Fashion has come a long way, and there are now many different options in post-mastectomy clothing.

Having a mastectomy is seldom easy, but knowing what to expect afterward can chase away some of the anxiety.
