Expansion key word for HABCC leader

Quick actions by teacher help ailing student

By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com Karen Drake is humble when she talks about a recent incident in her classroom at Lee-Davis High School.

Because of her fast response, a student who became ill received much-needed care and attention.

“I’m entrusted with their safety and well-being for those 95 minutes,” she said of her students. And, six months ago, her perspective changed when she and her husband Tim welBen Orcutt for The Local

“Being a new mom now too, it hits home even more.

My son just turned 6 months old. If something happens to him, I want somebody to step up.”

The student approached her desk and said she wasn’t feeling well. “Then she starts to glaze over, so I got up to help her sit down. She took two steps and just kind of started down.” Small in stature, Drake then came to the student’s rescue.

Ready, Set, School! supply drive a success in county

T

he Hanover County Department of Community Resources and Hanover County Public Schools recently spearheaded a successful Ready, Set, School!, the county-wide school supply drive that benefits children in need throughout Hanover County.

This year, school buses parked outside of Walmart Supercenter at 145 Hill Carter Parkway in Ashland and the Kroger at 9351 Atlee Road in Mechanicsville.

Following the collection, more than 30 volunteers gathered at Oak Knoll Middle School to sort the donations.

“We streamlined the collection and distribution system this year to make it more manageable. In previous years, citizens were encouraged to drop off donations at government locations or directly to the schools. By designating two dropoff points at easily accessible locations we made it more convenient for citizens to contribute. Also, by further streamlining distribution we ensured more students in need received supplies,” Laura Robertson, Youth Services specialist at the Hanover County Department of Community Resources, said.

Those involved extended their thanks “to all the individuals that generously donated their time and supplies.”

Also recognized were the following organizations for their support and ontributions: Ashland Churches Emergency Services, Curves of Ashland, First Capital Bank,

A joint project of the Hanover County Department of Community Resources and Hanover County Public Schools proved successful for children in need throughout the county. The school supply drive known as Ready, Set, School! brought out volunteers to help fill the buses in Ashland and Mechanicsville. Students did their part by gathering and sorting donations.

Communications relationship with King William County Approved

By Jim Ridolph for The Mechanicsville Local A working communications and radio use relationship with King William County was approved during the Sept. 26 meeting of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors.

The neighboring county will tap into Hanover’s extensive communications system

for its emergency and official networks.

Emergency communications director Curtis Shaffer said the county’s system is readily adaptable to King William’s request and any others that may follow in the future.

King William County will pay Hanover more than $340,000 yearly for the use. That will reduce Hanover’s yearly maintenance rate on the system,

a service that costs the county about $1.3 million annually. “We worked collaboratively to develop a proposal and we’ve worked with our staff to develop a plan, and what we have before you is a win-win situation,� Shaffer said.

The county’s system currently has 800 subscribers and the new plan will add about 300 more.

Supervisors unanimously approved the request.

Jennifer Y. Scott, HABCC executive director, said. “Our community is brimming with talented business leaders and innovators, as represented by our board. In the year ahead, we will continue to foster strong relationships among businesses, educators, governments and the residents of Hanover County.”

Hubbard moved into the top office during the organi-

zation’s Annual Dinner and Membership Meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 19, at Bass Pro Shops’ Islamorada Restaurant in Ashland.

----The HABCC is Hanover’s largest business association with more than 450 members.

All types of businesses are represented in the HABCC membership -- from national and

international corporations to locally owned and operated one-person shops. Its mission is to provide leadership within the Hanover and Ashland business communities and to champion economic development.

were like ‘Hmmm,’” she said of the students. “Otherwise, they stayed pretty much on task.”

The student, Drake said, was taken to a physician who determined there had been a salt and water imbalance.

As for her role, a modest Drake said, “It’s part of the job — you roll with the punches and you have to be extremely flexible.”

She teaches English at the International Baccalaureate (IB)

level. Now in her eighth year of teaching, she acknowledges that “I still look like one of the students.” A 2001 L-DHS graduate, she has spent seven of her eight years at her alma mater.

Drake serves as sponsor of the Junior Class Council and is a member of the Teacher Advisory Committee, representing Lee-Davis in meetings with Dr. Jamelle Wilson, HCPS superintendent of schools.

Drake also is co-lead of the

Literacy Focus Team.

The Drake family makes their home in Highland Springs, but, she is quick to point out, “I’m from Mechanicsville — born and bred. Been through Hanover (County Public) Schools.”

She received her bachelor’s and master’s at Milligan College.

They attend the Fairmount Christian Church and are active working with the youth. Drake

said dealing with elementary age children “is a whole new ballgame for me.”

(Editor’s note: Karen Drake’s story came to The Local through an e-mail from, unbeknownst to us at the time, her father, Ray Alexander. Justifiably proud, he said his daughter “rose to the occasion. By her action, she undoubtedly prevented the student from banging her head on the concrete floor and doing other potential damage to the student’s

“I really came so I could “Well, you know, she’s lost a walk and meet friends and all,” lot of her friends because of age she said.

and this is one of her families other than our family,” Sadler said. “These are her friends and she looks forward to working over here on Thursdays.”

Ann Glenn, 81, of Henrico, is in her 31st year of volunteering and has worked a long time with Godsey.

Glenn said Godsey’s dry sense of humor enables her to make ordinary things sound funny. She also said Godsey is dedicated.

“Well, she’s loyal,” Glenn said. “That means a lot.”

Dot Bills, 80, of King William, also is a member of the Thursday afternoon volunteer crew, and, like her cohorts, she also is fond of Godsey.

“She is so sweet to everybody and just always so friendly,” Bills said. “She always stops by the front desk and talks to us and she’s very, very friendly.”

While the national average of service for a hospital volunteer is three years, those at Memorial Regional Medical Center average about five years,

Herndon said.

“They’re very committed here in Hanover,” he added.

“But, for Darlene and Ann, for example, that they have been here for multiple years like that, it’s amazing.”

Godsey attends the Shady Grove United Methodist Church, where Ernie Babel is a pastor who works with seniors and the homebound.

“My goodness. She’s in worship and she’s over here volunteering and she just is an extraordinary giver,” Babel said of Godsey. “She’s a giver. Some people are takers, but she’s a giver.”

A native of Freemont, Neb., Godsey has two grandchildren and five great-grandchildren, one of whom also is a volunteer at Memorial Regional Medical Center.

Herndon said his corps of about 300 volunteers represents the face of the hospital and Godsey does it well.

“The volunteers really have taken ownership of the hospital,” he said. “It’s their facility.

I am thankful that she responded so quickly and did the right thing to help one of her students.”)

Godsey said she plans to remain in that number.

The Health Insurance Tax (HIT) will take valuable resources from small businesses and inhibit their ability create jobs, according to small business owners who met last week in Mechanicsville, hoping to urge lawmakers to repeal the tax set to take effect next year.

The healthcare reform law calls it a tax on insurers, but local small business said it doesn’t come cheap. “Over the past five years, my business’s health insurance premiums have increased by 10 percent or more every year. The HIT is an additional increase of 15 percent on top of that. I thought the PPACA was supposed to reduce health care costs, not increase them,� Melissa Ball, owner of Ball Office Supply in Richmond, said.

The Stop The HIT Coalition, a bipartisan group supporting the repeal of the tax, said the HIT will cost small business own-

ers, the self-employed and their employees $87 billion within its first 10 years alone and $208 billion in its second 10 years.

The Oct. 2 event, co-hosted

by Mechanicsville Drug Store and the Stop The HIT Coalition, small business owners and supporters, including NFIB Virginia state director Nicole Riley, gathered to tell Washington, D.C., that “enough is enough.� “I think the NFIB is doing a great service to small businesses by getting this [Stop The HIT] kind of important information out there in the business community.

From the editor

You help us say ‘Read all about it’ “I can’t wait until Wednesday to get my Local.” We can’t hear those words too often. And to top off that comment, we also hear, “I read it cover to cover.”

The fact that you take possession by saying “my Local” rather than The Local shows what an impact your newspaper has in our community.

Like you, many of us in this office call Mechanicsville and Hanover County home, so the news, sports and events that take place here are important to us too.

We have a great advantage over most publications, because you truly are the reason we are successful. And, please, take pride in your role in our weekly operation.

Your submissions, ideas, suggestions, feedback and opinions keep us on track and make us a stronger newspaper.

You are part of this organization — whether it’s a story idea, photo submission, student achievement, civic responsibility, military accomplishment, the list could go on — and we strive with each day to make sure you get the news you want, demand and need.

Community is the heart of The Mechanicsville Local and you make that a reality with each publication. We are so fortunate to have you in our family — and that’s how it is in our little part of the world. We share your stories, experiences and lives throughout these pages because, again, it is all about you.

Saying thank you sometimes doesn’t seem to be enough, but it is sincere. You make the difference and provide a guide to success.

On Sunday, the observance of National Newspaper Week got underway.

For us, it means taking the time again to thank you for making sure your community newspaper is all you want it to be. Your voice is heard and your words are read.

Looking back on Obama’s grand vision for America

Obama and ‘Affordable Health Care Act’

This is President Obama’s grand vision for America.

Since Obama took office in January 2009, five million “green” jobs were promised, and, as of 2010, 225,000 had been created. Eighty percent of the green loans, loan guarantees and grants given out by The U.S. Department of Energy went to Obama backers: • SunPower, after receiving $1.5 billion from DOE, is reorganizing, cutting jobs.

• First Solar, after receiving $1.46 billion from DOE, is reorganizing, cutting jobs.

• Solyndra, after receiving $535 million from DOE, filed for bankruptcy protection.

• Ener1, after receiving $118.5 million from DOE, filed for bankruptcy protection.

• Evergreen Solar, after receiving millions of dollars from the state of Massachusetts, filed for bankruptcy protection.

• SpectraWatt, backed by Intel and Goldman Sachs, filed for bankruptcy protection.

• Beacon Power, after receiving $43 million from DOE, filed for bankruptcy protection.

• Abound Solar, after receiving $400 million from DOE, filed for bankruptcy protection.

• Amonix, after receiving $5.9 million from DOE, filed for bankruptcy protection.

• Babcock & Brown (an Australian company), after receiving $178 million from DOE, filed for bankruptcy protection.

• A123 Systems, after receiving $279 million from DOE, shipped some bad batteries and is barely operating. It cut jobs.

• Solar Trust for America, after receiving a $2.1-billion loan guarantee from DOE, filed for bankruptcy protection.

• Nevada Geothermal, after receiving $98.5 million from DOE, warns of potential defaults in new SEC filings.

That is only a partial list.

If this all sounds eerily familiar, it should.

Especially the part about how an elected politician is breaking a campaign promise to not raise taxes. Obama said he would lower taxes and is actually raising them. He will claim that circumstances change and Americans have to adapt to them.

One similarity is inescapable. The excesses of the past are going to have to be paid. Thanks to the failed presidency of Obama, those excesses have grown disproportionately larger.

Walt Fitzhugh Hanover

President Obama and his Chicago Cronies tout the “Affordable Health Care Act” (an oxymoron) in regard that it will provide healthcare for everyone. He also says that it will cut the national debt and provide tax cuts for the middle class.

ObamaCare will go down in American history as the highest tax increase ever. This adversely impacts everyone, especially the middle class where many small businesses fall into the $250,000 category, which the impending high taxes and “spreading the wealth” could put them out of business.

Result: thousands more on welfare.

In regard to his promise of reducing the national debt, do you know that $500 billion will be taken out of Medicare to help pay for this bill? Medicare will become a thing of the past. How do you feel about something that you paid into all of your working life only to have it taken away? It will happen. What do you think of Obama’s “Hope and Change” now?

Doctors will be opting out and/or retiring due to this terrible law. Reputable health insurance companies and several medical supply companies will be put out of business, due to the excessive costs of this law. Thousands of jobs will, therefore, suffer the consequences. Also, how would you like a Washington bureaucrat standing between you and your doctor telling him/her what he/she can prescribe and what can’t be prescribed?

If put fully into effect, ObamaCare will resemble a socialistic style of a system used in Europe and Canada. Ask a Canadian what they think of it. The government taking over your healthcare is one more step towards the government controlling your life. Our socialist commander-inchief can call it whatever he wants, but it’s still socialism. see LETTERS, pg. 8

Cantor - Powell Debate U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor, a Republican, faced off with 7th District challenger Democrat, Wayne Powell

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Accusations, innuendo and personal attacks were the order of the evening as U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor, a Republican, faced off with 7th District challenger Wayne Powell, a Democrat.

Both candidates entered the debate with a spirited list of charges for their opponent, and it appeared Cantor’s lack of debate experience didn’t affect the six-term representative. It was the incumbent’s first debate appearance since 2002.

All seats were filled at the CarMax headquarters in Goochland for the Richmond Chamber-sponsored debate.

It didn’t take long for the discussion to become heated, and Cantor’s opening statement outlined a philosophical difference between him and Powell, a lawyer and retired U.S. Army colonel.

Cantor, who was elected majority leader of the U.S. House of Representatives in 2010, centered his policy positions around a familiar theme of lower taxes, less regulations and creating jobs. He said those positions are in stark contrast to those of his opponent.

“These two positions will take us to very different futures,” Cantor said.

“One track leads to higher taxes, more regulation and less jobs. The other track means lower taxes, less regulation, more jobs, more success and more opportunity.”

While he supports lowering taxes on small businesses, Cantor, 49, said Powell supports higher taxes to which the challenger responded, “I’m not against small businesses. I am a small businessman and I don’t want to pay any more taxes and I don’t want small businesses to pay more taxes.”

And, there were the obvious and predictable differences on the Affordable Health Care Act, better known as ObamaCare.

“I oppose ObamaCare and I will repeal it and replace it with patientcentered healthcare reforms,” the sixterm congressman said. “My opponent supports ObamaCare and says it’s working and even wants to expand it.”

“I believe insurance companies should not deny people health coverage because they have pre-existing conditions,” Powell responded.

Both candidates offered an opposing view on the impending fiscal cliff the nation faces at the end of the year.

October 10, 2012

Wayne Powell left, and U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor at debate the CarMax headquarters in Richmond, VA

“This is about Congress and the man standing to my left who decided to kick the can down the road,” Powell said. “When I hear fiscal cliff, I see Eric as a person who is dysfunctional, who will not sit down and cooperate with the President.”

Cantor said America has the highest corporate tax rate in the world and he would work to close loopholes in the tax system to raise revenues.

“Let me start with the premise that a tax increase is the last thing that our country needs right now,” Cantor said.

“I also think that the fiscal cliff has a lot to do with spending.”

The impending mandatory cuts to the federal budget, known as sequestration, were approved by Congress last year, and Powell was quick to point out that Cantor voted for the measures.

“The reason why sequestration is in place is because the president would not agree to the kind of spending cuts Mr. Powell says he’s for,” Cantor said.

If re-elected, Cantor said he would fight to remove those mandatory cuts from the defense budget, which he said would leave the nation in dire straits militarily. “We will have the smallest ground force since 1940,” he said.

The two also disagreed on new regulations for the coal industry that

some say would make production economically challenging.

Cantor supports coal-fired power plants and expanding the use of one of Virginia’s principle imports, while Powell favored non-fossil solutions to the nation’s mounting energy demands.

Powell said some cuts in defense can and should be made. “The defense budget is bloated by anybody’s standard,” he said.” To say we need to keep the defense budget as its current level is just plain ludicrous.”

Powell showed little political restraint in attacking Cantor on his corporate donations and what he called the congressman’s extended vacations.

He also said Cantor was not being responsive to 7th District citizens.

Powell was highly critical of Cantor for his lack on involvement in veterans’ issues.

Goochland Democratic Party chair Molly Payne agreed with Powell.

“Mr. Powell took Mr. Cantor to task tonight for neglecting our veterans, the people of the 7th District and all average Americans in favor of big industry and those least in need of a leg-up,” Payne said after the debate.

Cantor objected to Powell’s personal attacks several times, and continually attempted to return the debate

to a discussion on the economy, jobs and lower taxes.

“You can go on with your personal attacks, but, again, it’s not going to create a job and it’s not going to bring down the deficit,” Cantor said.

Powell said his accusations were not a personal attack, but an attempt to allow voters of the 7th District to obtain a clear view of their elected representative.

“I’m not attacking you. I’m describing you. And it’s a very difficult process,” Powell said.

Manuel Alvarez, a member of the Goochland County Board of Supervisors, also attended the event, but had a different take on the outcome than did Payne.

“I feel like Mr. Powell came across as angry. He didn’t really talk about a lot of issues, but just did a lot of attacking,” Alvarez said.

While the Powell campaign has stated a desire for more debates, the Cantor campaign has indicated this is Cantor’s last stop on the debate trail.

The 7th District hasn’t elected a Democrat in more than 40 years in a congressional district that represents portions of Henrico, Chesterfield, Hanover, Spotsylvania, Goochland, Orange, Louisa and New Kent counties and the City of Richmond.

County wraps up Rural Rustic Road work Hanover County and the Virginia Department of Transportation have completed upgrades to rural roads throughout the County.

In September, improvements were completed to Hickory Hill Road, Mabelton Road and George Ruth Road in the Beaverdam District.

More than five miles of these rural roads were covered with multiple layers of asphalt and stone. This process is less expensive than conventional paving of the roads.

The improvements were the result of an innovative approach begun by the Board of Supervisors three years ago.

The board assigned staff to administer bidding and construction on selected statemaintained roads and classified the gravel road sections as Rural Rustic Roads.

The Rural Rustic Road classification does not require improvements to the road alignment or roadside shoulders and ditches. Because this classification seeks only to preserve the rural character of the road, improvements to Rural Rustic Roads can be made at a fraction of the

cost of regular road improvements.

In all, 24-state maintained rural rustic roads that had been gravel were improved in this fashion. This approach permitted the hard surfacing of all the state maintained gravel roads in the county except for a few small sections where residence overwhelmingly agreed they should remain gravel.

The improvements to these roads involved a total of about 22.5 miles at a cost of $1,909,000 and benefitted more than 200 households.

The roads will remain rural in nature, but will not have the maintenance chal-

lenges typical of gravel.

The roads improved were: Ancient Acres Road, Ben Gayle Road, Breedens Road, Buckeye Road, Burnham Davis Road, Corker Road, Darbys Road, Dunn Road, George Ruth Road, Hanover Quarter Road, Hatch Thompson Road, Hickory Hill Road, Kenwood Church Road, Mabelton Road, Noel Road, North Telegraph Road, Old Country Road, Quaker Church Road, Richards Road, Rosmarin Road, Terry Road, Union Church Road, Verdi Lane and Waldrop Lane.

Fall Fire Season Begins Oct. 15; Virginia Observes National Fire Prevention Week As temperatures begin to dip and the leaves on the trees begin to change color, it’s time once again for the start of fall wildfire season in the Commonwealth.

Officials at the Virginia Department of Forestry remind all Virginians that the threat of wildfire increases each autumn as leaves dry out and fall from trees, grasses turn brown, humidity levels drop and winds increase. “Wildfires are directly linked to weather conditions,� John Miller, director of resource protection at VDOF, said. “Whether it’s someone burning debris or trash, an unattended campfire, or an intentional case of arson, wildfires have a greater chance of causing bodily harm or property damage in the fall and spring months because the conditions are right for fires to burn hotter and spread faster.�

Because of the increased risk of wildfires, the VDOF has joined paid and volunteer fire departments in

their efforts to ensure the safety of Virginia’s citizens. This year’s focus of National Fire Prevention Week (Oct. 7-13) is to ensure you have at least two escape routes both in your home and in your neighborhood. “Because your primary escape route might be blocked during a fire, having an alternate escape route could save your life,� said Miller. “While many people may have thought about a secondary way out of their homes, it’s highly likely that most have not given the same thought to an alternate way out of their neighborhoods. “If you live on a cul-de-sac or in an area where there is only one road in and out, would you know how to safely evacuate in the event that one road is blocked? And are you prepared to evacuate on foot if there’s no way out with your vehicle? These are potentially life or death questions,� Miller said. “We recommend that every Virginian take a few moments to consider

Absentee Ballot Application and Voter Registration Assistance

their options and to discuss those options with their family members so that everyone can get out alive.

And if an evacuation order is given, those people with only one way in and out should leave immediately and not risk getting trapped.�

Each year, Virginia experiences more than 1,200 wildfires that burn more than 10,000 acres of land. VDOF employees annually protect hundreds of homes from the ravages of wildfires, but each year there are always some homes that are destroyed by these wildfires.

Miller said, “As more than 95 percent of wildfires that occur in Virginia are the result of human activity, taking even the simplest precautions with outdoor fires will significantly reduce the occurrence of wildfires and the threat to you and your neighbors.�

Communications with King William County Approved

By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local A working communications and radio use relationship with King William County was approved during the Sept. 26 meeting of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors.

The neighboring county will tap into Hanover’s extensive communications system for its emergency and official networks.

Emergency communications director Curtis Shaffer said the county’s system is readily adaptable to King William’s request and any others that may follow in the future.

King William County will pay Hanover more than $340,000 yearly for the use. That will reduce Hanover’s yearly maintenance rate on the system, a service that costs the county about $1.3 million annually.

“We worked collaboratively to develop a proposal and we’ve worked with our staff to develop a plan, and what we have before you is a win-win situation,” Shaffer said.

The county’s system currently has 800 subscribers and the new plan will add about 300 more.

Supervisors unanimously approved the request.

youth -- going north back to Washington, pass the “Car on the Pole� and talk about it all the way to Hanover Court House and their school friends when they arrived home.

Can any government agency or official, tell the citizens of Hanover why, there are 4’ x8’ bright yellow billboards peppered all over Hanover with no permit, on county and state road right-of-way and a few on state- owned property, and why they are not having to go through the same bureaucratic nightmare?

Some say “they are “OK� because they are political�!

I have investigated rules for political signage. The billboards have to be put up according to the same permits, right-of-way laws, state or county property rules and obstruction of view on our highways. There are county and state regulations as to size and placement of political billboards/signs/posters.

And “political billboards/signs� have to be removed within a prescribed timeline after the election is over and cannot be left up permanently.

Where did equal enforcement of the rules and penalty for not complying go?

Is the government in fear of stepping on citizen’s free speech rights or showing a political preference? Have they just chosen to ignore them and just enforce the hard working business man who is able to pay?

The yellow billboards are not being monitored or inspected for violations by the county, state or especially state election officials.

It appears officials have taken sides, looked the other way and hoped they will go away. No, they are still here. Some have been up as much as seven years in two or more election cycles and never been taken down.

This is a clear violation of state

election laws.

Why have the yellow billboard people gotten away with not paying for permits and not made to follow the same laws and cited for violations?

Are there not specific laws restricting billboards along Virginia roads, as part of the Virginia beautification projects?

I can be ticketed or/or towed for putting a “For Sale� sign on my car and parking it where many of these yellow signs are.

Proud supporter and neighbor of “The Car on the Pole�

Founders and religion This is in response to LaToya Brown’s comments about me in the Sept. 26, 2012, edition of The Mechanicsville Local.

Ms. Brown, thanks for your quotes. Since you accept as gospel out-of-context quotes from

the Founders, let me offer you a few more: “This would be the best of all possible worlds, if there were no religion in it.� -- John Adams “Christianity is the most perverted system that ever shone on man.� -- Thomas Jefferson “Lighthouses are more useful that churches.� -- Benjamin Franklin The point, of course, is that the Founders weren’t as Christian or as bamboozled by religion as you would like to believe. Of the seven men considered the “key� founders (Adams, Franklin, Hamilton, Jay, Jefferson, Madison and Washington) only John Jay was clearly an orthodox Christian -- the others, including your favorite Adams, were deists and free-thinkers of various stripes.

And they were all politicians, meaning they would often say in public things with which they privately disagreed or disbelieved. Franklin, for example, is generally considered to have been an atheist, but that didn’t

Ms. Brown -- study history. But do so with actual history, not the debunked revisionist babble spouted by David Barton and his ilk. You might not like much of what it shows, because the truth is that the Founders of this nation that actually wrote the constitution (Note: Patrick Henry refused to even attend the Constitutional Convention, and Webster, like the majority of the attendees, added nothing of significance to the document) wanted the document and the country it founded to be secular.

To set your other misconception straight: I am not anti-

Christian. I am anti-all kinds of religion; I do not play favorites.

It’s just that Christianity is so filled with silliness and hypocrisy, and so many people here cling to that particular crutch, it ends up being the most likely target by default.

And, as for being out of the mainstream, I am indeed. That doesn’t make you right and me wrong. A popular Christian apologist argument says, “Some things are true whether you believe them or not.� But the opposite side of that coin is just as valid: “Some things are false, no matter how many believe them.� Those Founders who risked everything to be free were also out of the mainstream of their time . . . and there was a time when everybody knew that the world was flat, too.

Search for most promising tech start-ups kicks o Dominion Resources Innovation Center, located in Ashland, has announced Tech Challenge Hanover, a startup competition among emerging and second-stage Central Virginia technology companies that offers the winning firm a $10,000 prize, six months of norent tenancy at the Dominion Resources Innovation Center and free consulting services from the center’s entrepreneur-in-residence.

Online applications are available on the center’s website at http://dominnovation.com. The deadline for submission is Nov. 1, 2012. “The Dominion Resources Innovation Center has recently broadened its focus, moving beyond ‘greencentric’ companies to now include all technology, knowledge-based startups in the region,� said Robert T. Skunda, chairman of the center’s board of directors and chairman, president and CEO of the Virginia Bio-Technology Research Park. “Given the climate of innovation that exists in this region, we recognize that there are many emerging companies who don’t have the resources, or in some cases the know-how, to take their businesses to the next level. Tech Challenge Hanover will not only help to identify these companies in need but help provide the capital – both financial and intellectual – that will give them a more stable and strategic path to success.�

In addition to the first prize, free tenancy will be offered to the second and third place finishers

for six and three months, respectively.

All three companies also will receive free, ongoing consulting services from William H. Daughtrey, Dominion Resources Innovation Center’s entrepreneur-in-residence.

Daughtrey, who has more than 30 years of experience as a management consultant and senior executive, will provide guidance to the

Dominion Resources Innovation Center to award $10,000 and free tenancy to winning company

one-time boost, but a commitment by the center to help nurture and sustain some of the most promising tech companies in the region. Their success will ultimately be our success.�

The competition will culminate on Thursday, Dec. 6, at Randolph-Macon College where as many as 15 finalists will vie for the top honors, competing against one another with business pitches and interviews with the judges.

Judges for Tech Challenge! Hanover include Bryan Bostic, CEO of SmartBox; Fatima Caldas, president of Fire Solutions Inc., Steve Hutcherson, Innovation Evangelist at innoVArium, Art McKinney, chairman of McKinney & Co., and Daughtrey.

Sponsors for Tech Challenge Hanover include McKinney & Company, Foley Material

companies in business planning, funding, networking and other legal and business matters. “The Dominion Resources Innovation Center is not an incubator, in the traditional sense, but an ‘accelerator,’ a dynamic, interactive facility where young companies can hasten their growth by learning what it takes to spread their wings and take flight,� Daughtrey said. “Tech Challenge Hanover is not like other competitions of this nature in that we are looking to identify and grow companies for the longer term.

Mechanicsville students attend summer academy at NASA The two Hanover High School students from Mechanicsville were part of a group of 144 rising high school seniors from across Virginia who spent a week at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton taking part in the Virginia Aerospace Science and Technology Scholars (VASTS) academy.

This summer marked the fifth anniversary of the academy, which has seen more than 500 students.

The academy was held June 24-30, July 8-14 and July 2228 at NASA Langley and was

OF

EXPERIENCE WORKING

FOR YOU

hosted by NASA Langley in a partnership with the Virginia Space Grant Consortium.

Before the academy, the students completed a six-month interactive distance-learning course, which focused on aerospace exploration in order to prepare the students for their intensive week at NASA Langley.

The academy gave the students the opportunity to tour NASA facilities, learn from NASA researchers, meet astronaut Dr. Roger Crouch, participate in workforce situations and receive college credit.

“VASTS has been a real learning experience for me. It has been challenging, but defi-

nitely in a good way,” Massey said. “My team and I have worked so well together, making it fun.”

During their week, students were divided into four teams: mission integration, mission transit, human factors and science and surface operations. Each team was essential in planning a successful mission to Mars.

The students took much away from their experience at Langley, realizing the impact that it will have on their future.

“It has made me a self reliant and successful student, which I hope will help me success in future classes in both high school and college,” Clark said.

Wednesday, Oct. 10

Are you serious about losing weight? You can virtually melt away your FAT without strenuous dieting or excessive exercising. This is the best weight loss secret to come along in years—when you’re talking about FAST EFFECTIVE weight loss.

HOLD ON!!!

You might be afraid the “solution” will be worse than the problem, but let me assure you, it’s not! When you schedule an appointment you’re going to receive something that NOT only helps you lose weight, but also helps your appearance, your face, your complexion and even your body structure.

Listen, I am a regular practicing doctor in Trappe, and I love helping people, just like you, lose that stubborn weight, without dieting, and then how to keep it off— permanently.

Safe and Easy!

My exclusive weight loss management system is completely SAFE and has been proven to work.

It is based on scientific principles that cause almost immediate changes and is strictly administered along common sense protocols.

Here’s what most people don’t understand. When you’re heavy, you lose your strength, vitality, and you can become feeble. And on top of that you can age prematurely because your “fat” cells clog your body’s vital organs.That will change after you start utilizing this system.

You may be like some people who have lost their figure due to this “fat” clogging weight gain. The problem is, most overweight people are unable to find a simple, easy to follow system to reduce their fat

and then keep it off. Even their coordination, daily movement and attractiveness are destroyed with this weight gain.That will all change when you start using this system.

Here is what I can do for you.

First my staff will send you a form to fill out before you schedule an appointment. This is so you and I are on the same page, before you ever step foot in my office. You won’t have to make any radical changes in your lifestyle with this program, have surgery, or take any harmful drugs. Your treatments will be private and you will start to lose 1-2 pounds per day, depending on your size, age, condition of your body and follow through. You will consult with me personally on a weekly basis for follow up and questions. Once you’ve reached you desired weight, you’ll have your shape back, have more energy, and you’ll have your self-esteem back.

Doesn’t get any better than that.

“Get Rid Of YOUR FAT Now!” “The plan was easy and seeing the scale go down a pound a day was enough to keep me on track. My husband was pleased that he has me back to the weight before children. I feel better and when I went for my yearly physical my blood work was the best I had seen in twenty years. Blood pressure was down, and all my bad numbers were back down into the low normal range. My doctor spent more time asking about the program than we spent on my physical!”

Haynesworth comes up “Big Time” on birthday

By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local Hanover’s Donte Haynesworth helped give himself the “best birthday gift” of his life.

Haynesworth, who turned 18 on Friday, caught a 38-yard pass to give the Hawks a firstand-goal at Atlee’s 5-yard line in the final minute of play. The reception set up an Andrew Knizner touchdown run as Hanover, ranked No. 5 in the Times-Dispatch poll, overcame the visiting Raiders to claim a 35-32 Capital District victory.

38

Haynesworth, who finished with three receptions for 73 yards, made them count. His first catch – for 20 yards and a touchdown – allowed the Hawks to go into halftime only trailing the Raiders by two points. His last, to set up the game-winning score, was just something that he needed to do.

“Coach [Brandon] Brakstad before the game said, ‘Big-time players make big-time plays, in big-time games,’” Haynesworth said. “This was a big-time game and we needed a big-time play.”

Knizner, who finished with 16 completions in 28 attempts for 207 yards, two touchdowns and one interception along with 12 carries for 53 yards and another touchdown, was ecstatic about the finish.

“That was a hard-fought

game, all 48 minutes,” Knizner said. “Both teams played a heck of a game and we came out on top at the end. It was just awesome.”

Atlee wasted no time putting the Hawks (4-1, 1-1 Capital) on notice they were in for a fight.

On the games’ opening series, with third down and 11 to go from its 22, Raider quarterback Kenner Berry found Daniel Glymph in the open on the left side and fired a strike. Glymph outran the defense for a 78-yard touchdown. Berry then connected with Tanner Ramey for the 2-point conversion.

Berry led Atlee’s offense, going 13-of-17 in the air for 257 yards. In addition to the touchdown toss to Glymph, Berry ran for three more.

The Raiders (3-2, 1-1)

extended their lead to 14-0 on a 16-yard run by Morris Jackson, but failed to complete a 2-point conversion – the start of a run of failed conversions by both teams that lasted until the late in the third quarter.

Hanover signaled it was equal to Atlee’s challenge with a 16-yard touchdown run by Lawrence Jones with 22 seconds left in the first quarter.

The Hawks added another touchdown midway through the second quarter on Knizner’s 20-yard pass to Haynesworth and went into halftime trailing 14-12.

In the third, Atlee added a touchdown on a 13-yard run by Berry and Hanover answered on a 6-yard run by Jones. More important for the Hawks, though, was that Jones followed

up by reaching the end zone on a 2-point conversion to tied the game at 20-20.

Atlee’s offense struck twice in the fourth quarter, on 3- and 13-yard runs by Berry, but both times they failed to make conversions. Despite those failures, the Raiders held a 32-20 lead with 6:47 left in the game.

But Hanover was undaunted. The Hawks took less than two minutes to drive 54 yards and score on a 10-yard pass from Knizner to Mike Holland.

Jacob Rozsahegyi kicked the extra point, and the Hawks trailed by only 5 points, 32-27, with 4:06 left in the game.

Atlee looked set to run out the clock when disaster struck.

While rushing for what should have been first-down yardage,

Berry fumbled the ball and Hanover recovered with 1:45 left to set up the Knizner score on what would become its game-winning touchdown.

In the final 22 seconds, Atlee proved it was still a threat. Berry hit Mitchell Gardner for a 31yard gain to set up a first-andgoal at the 9 with 15 seconds left. As time ran out, though, the Raiders attempted a field goal which went wide.

Atlee coach Roscoe Johnson said the coaches let the Raiders down.

“We made mistakes as coaches tonight that won’t happen again,” Johnson said. “The calls that we made, the calls that I made – I should have see HAWKS, pg. 39 `

R-MC starts slow but turns lights out on CUA 45-12

Lee-Davis alum Calvin Davis gets 3 sacks against nation leader

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com It took 131 years for the Randolph-Macon football program to turn the lights in Ashland. It took considerably less time for the Yellow Jackets to shut them off on visiting Catholic Friday night.

In the first ever night game played at R-MC, senior Hback Vance Hendren turned in an ODAC Offensive Player of the Week effort by scoring five touchdowns in the 45-12 victory. Defensively, sophomore tackle Calvin Davis (LeeDavis) recorded a game-high nine tackles including three of the Yellow Jackets’ four sacks against a Cardinal team that led the nation having not given up a sack all season prior to their visit to Ashland.

“I guess that got the defense fired up even more,” Davis said.

“Coming in they hadn’t given up a sack so we all just played together. We knew we had to get it.”

Despite the lopsided final score, R-MC head coach Pedro Arruza was far from pleased with his team’s performance on the field. “I didn’t think our guys were very well prepared and I think it showed in the

40

way we played,” he said. “I was not pleased at all with the way we played on either side of the ball.”

Though Catholic (2-3,1-1 ODAC) came into the contest with a 2-2 record, Arruza had reason to be concerned after the Cardinals thumped league favorite Hampden-Sydney 4128 last week.

A bad week of practice did little to make the coach feel better. “We’re not a very mature team right now,” Arruza said.

“We need to grow up and grow up fast or we’re going to lose a game that we shouldn’t lose.”

Arruza’s concerns were well founded and the first quarter was far from a thing of beauty.

For the most part it looked like both teams were playing in the dark.

Due to penalties and sacks, the two teams picked up a combined negative four yards on their first two possessions.

CUA was without the services of senior starting quarterback Greg Cordivari due to injury and it only took three plays for Davis to introduce himself to backup QB Kyle Bernard.

With the Cardinals looking at second and 22 after an offensive pass interference call, Davis

Hendren found the endzone a total of five times in Randolph Macon’s 45-12 win over Catholic.

roared around the left side and planted Bernard for additional 6-yard loss.

“We knew coming in that we were going to have to cover guys down,” Davis said. “That’s what coach was talking about all week. We weren’t going to run no pressures and I guess it came hand-in-hand, secondary cover guys down, let the front four eat. Front four got pressure and we got turnovers.”

After a shanked CUA punt, R-MC (4-1, 2-0) got their first possession at midfield and could do no better when sophomore quarterback Zac Naccarato was sacked on the Yellow Jackets’ first offensive play. A frustrated Arruza called time. He used his

second timeout two plays later with R-MC looking at fourth and two.

Coming out the second timeout, R-MC was called for an illegal formation.

Randolph-Macon was so much out of sync that Arruza burned all three of his timeouts by the 1:55 mark in the first quarter. “We had receivers that didn’t know where to line up,” he said. “We had a tailback that didn’t line up the proper way on a critical play….Just disappointed that we were not more focused.”

A 38-yard punt to the corner by R-MC’s Tracy Murden pinned CUA at the 6-yard line where senior defensive tackle

Ian Candelaria forced Bernard to fumble. Candelaria recovered the ball on the 10 to put the Yellow Jackets in prime scoring position. But three offensive plays netted one yard and RMC had to settle for a 25-yard field goal from Josh Storm.

“We made a bunch of stupid mistakes and shot ourselves in the foot so many times it was just a rough start,” Naccarato said. “That comes back, we didn’t have the best week of practice this week. We’ve got to do a much better job of preparing and getting after it in practice so we can come out strong from start to finish.”

At the end of the first quarter, R-MC had 12 yards of

offense on 11 plays.

Catholic quickly answered with a 15-play, 68-yard drive capped by a Mike Pitsenberger 1-yard run to put the Cardinals on top 6-3 after a blocked PAT. But heading into the second quarter the lights finally came on for the Yellow Jackets as RMC amassed 399 yards offense over the next three periods of play.

The Macon defense forced CUA to punt on fourth and 28 to start the second and the Jackets’ offense came to life as Luke Sellers became Naccarato’s escape valve. Sellers finished the day with five catches for 93 yards, none bigger than at see JACKETS, pg. 41 `

Continued from pg. 40 b

the beginning of the second.

Looking at third and 14 from his own 34, Naccarato (12-of-16 for 206 yards) found Sellers for on a 21-yard completion.

“He did a great job of running routes and pulling in some big passes today,” Naccarato said of Sellers. “I didn’t throw the ball too well in the first half and he did a good job of bailing me out on a couple of them.”

Hendren capped off the drive with a 10-yard reception and 3-yard touchdown run to put R-MC on top to stay, 10-6.

After forcing CUA to a threeand-out, the Jackets went back to work. Aided by a 19-yard catch from Sellers and 18-yard run from Will McGhee (89 yards), Hendren went in from 2-yards out to give R-MC a 17-6 lead heading into the locker room.

Catholic threatened early in the second following a 9yard touchdown run from Bernard but from there it was all Randolph-Macon.

A 20-yard reception by Sellers was followed by a 27yard run from Drake Sanders (69-yards) to set up the third Hendren touchdown of the night on a 1-yard run.

Less than two minutes later, Naccarato found Hendren on a naked bootleg for a 32-yard touchdown reception and a 3112 lead.

Following a Sander’s 1-yard touchdown to start the fourth, Catholic had it’s best shot to cut into the R-MC lead.

Bernard connected with Tanner Keefe for 40-yards and Alonzo Cooke for 18-yards to put the Cardinals at second and goal from the six. Davis made sure they got no closer.

Bursting around the left side, Davis dropped Bernard for a 12-yard loss.

“I knew they’d been running the play action the whole game,” Davis said. “So when they ran it I kind of just put my foot in the ground, turned and ran. The

secondary had them covered down so he had to pass the ball.

Sack!”

When Catholic attempted to score on a fourth and goal play, R-MC safety Danny Hunt picked off the Bernard pass at the goal line and returned if 45 yards to set up Henrdren’s fifth TD of the night on a 1-yard run.

“We kind of came out with a rough start and made a lot of mistakes but then we kind of pulled it up,” Hendren said.

“We were clicking a lot better and I think that made a lot of difference.”

Despite an extra day off, RMC will get little rest as they prepare for a matchup between ODAC leaders this Saturday when they travel to Washington & Lee. “We’ve got to grow up in a hurry because we’re playing a very good team Saturday,” Arruza said. “You’ve got to come ready to play every single week in this league or you’re not going to win the league. Right now I’m not worried about wining the league…Right now we’re not good enough to think ahead. We’ve got to worry about one week at a time.”

Atlee girls serve up a sweep in volleyball Raiders maintain spotless record with 3-0 win over Hanover

By Billy Fellin Richmond Times Dispatch To say Hailey Brooks had an ace up her sleeve last Tuesday night against Hanover would be an understatement.

“I always try to go aggressive with my serve,” she said. “I think I can use it as a weapon.”

Brooks unleashed that weapon eight times as No. 1ranked Atlee swept Hanover 25-13, 25-13, 25-17.

At the start of the second set, Brooks scored the first three points with two aces and a kill and then had a string of aces at the start of the third set.

Aces are nothing new for Brooks, who had 32 in a match last season and 404 coming into 2012.

On the night, Brooks had 13 kills, five digs and 12 assists to go along with her eight aces.

Karlie Suber added 10 digs and seven kills, and Rachel Stanford had 19 assists, four kills, three digs and two aces for the Raiders.

“We always get intense when we play a rival like Hanover,”

Brooks said. “So, we focused on coming out strong and ending strong.”

The Hawks (7-6, 3-3) came out with intensity as well, taking a brief 4-3 lead in the first set.

Mary Dustin’s seven kills, seven digs, two aces and two blocks paced Hanover.

While the Raiders were able to quickly regain the lead and keep the Hawks at arm’s length for the rest of the match, coach Curtis Carpenter said his team still has work to do.

“We had our moments. We played well,” he said. “I didn’t think we were as efficient offensively as I’d like us to be.”

The win moved Atlee to 130, 5-0 in the Capital District.

With their unblemished season as well as being reigning Central Region champions, Carpenter said he and his team know they are marked throughout the area.

“In the spot we’re in, people are going to be coming after us, playing their ‘A’ game against us,” he said. “We don’t have the luxury of taking time off. Was I really pleased? I like the win, but I would like for us to be smoother in all aspects of the game. I’d give us a B-minus.

“I really preach to them to take it a game at a time,” he said. While Carpenter said the Raiders aren’t focused on their unblemished regular-season mark, there is a streak the team

takes pride in.

“You can guarantee the kids know that they haven’t been beaten in the district in I don’t know how many years,” he said.

“They’re aware of that and are proud of that. They do what it takes to get that win.”

Raiders run away with Eastend Showdown Cross country teams prepare for rapidly approaching districts

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com With only three weeks left before the Capital District championships take place at Pole Green Park, cross country teams are getting in final tuneups in preparation for the post season.

Last Wednesday’s Eastend Showdown at Dorey Park was a trip down memory lane for the coaches more than the runners from Atlee, Lee-Davis, Henrico, Varina and Highland Springs as the teams competed on the 5K course that hosted the Capital District meet prior to the move to Pole Green.

Some of the top runners sat out the event to rest up from the regular midweek-weekend grind.

“It’s hard to go WednesdaySaturday, Wednesday-Saturday, Wednesday-Saturday, all year long,” said Atlee head coach Jim

Triemplar. “We’ll do it a couple of times during the year but not every single week.”

The Raiders rested three of their top boys (Nathaniel Hall, Michael Griffin, Matt Peery) and girls (Chloe Bavin, Scarlett Bavin, Katie Gardner) giving the squad a chance to showcase some of its lesser known talent.

Lee-Davis rested most of their squad after competing in the Great American Cross Country Festival last weekend in Cary, N.C. and preparing for another meet in Greensboro, N.C..

With the absences Atlee utilized superior numbers to dominate both the boys and girls races.

The Raiders placed six boys among the top 10 runners to score 25 points and defeat Henrico (54), Varina (78) and the limited Lee-Davis squad (84).

The Atlee girls (18) brought in seven of the top 10 runners to breeze past Lee-Davis (60) and Henrico (60).

Due to an unplanned detour

on a course that circled the lake at three different points, the girls added nearly 100 meters to their run but still turned in some impressive times in the sweltering humidity.

Atlee junior Katt Grasberger (20:34.65) edged out senior teammate Paige Harrar (20:54.90) for the win.

“Katt Grasberger winning for the girls with a time that, when you consider the extra that they ran, that’s pretty dog gone good,” Triemplar said.

Atlee junior Julia Fraser came in fourth, followed by freshman Maya Saunders and sophomore Kaitlyn Mason. Freshman Logan Shearon was eighth and junior Eryn Donavan rounded out the top 10.

Triemplar was especially pleased with the performance of his two freshmen, Saunders and Shearon. “They’re both tough as nails,” he said. “Maya, especially at this point is running real well.”

Henrico freshman Ashley Brown took third (21:29.36) and continues to prove she is

a runner to keep an eye on. In her first season of varsity running, Brown has already broken every one of the Warrior’s cross country records.

Lee-Davis head coach Neil Matthews was pleased with the

performance of his runners who were coming off a hard workout on Monday.

“They were a little tired then they caught the humidity,” he said. “I think they were a little nervous running against the big

blue Atlee Raiders so I would say they were a little bit intimidated. We didn’t run our top group of kids, they were resting up to race on the weekend. I think it would have been a little see RUNNERS, pg. 43 `

Capital command: Raiders tame Hawks and Jaguars Atlee boys volleyball creates separation atop district

By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Last week the Atlee boys’ volleyball team created breathing room atop the Capital District standings by knocking off two of its closest contenders for the league title. On Tuesday, the Raiders (12-2, 7-0 Capital) Charlie Leffler/The Local

downed host Hanover (5-6, 4-3) in a hard-fought, four-set match, 25-11, 10-25, 25-19, 2523. Two days later, Atlee swept visiting Glen Allen (10-5, 5-2) 25-15, 25-20, 25-22, to maintain their spotless district record while every other league squad has at least two losses.

Senior Matt Rohr led the Raiders in both contests getting 20 kills and nine digs against Hanover then playing a flawless game against Glen Allen with 11 kills, two blocks, three aces and eight digs. His fellow outside hitter Davis Ellenberger was also perfect against the Jaguars with 13 kills, three blocks and three digs.

“They didn’t make errors

and not making errors keeps the other team from getting free points,” said Atlee head coach Nick Robinson. “They have to earn them after that.”

The Glen Allen match marked the third meeting of the season between the two teams and Robinson felt his Raiders were more focused this time around. The two first faced off in a preseason tournament where Atlee was deceived by an easy win despite having an off game.

“It wasn’t a very good game in the preseason tournament that we were able to win not playing that well and they played see RAIDERS, pg. 43 `

and freshman Chad Foltz were ninth and 10th.

Atlee also got a PR performance from sophomore Gabrial Hawkins, who came in 14th overall. “Clearly his best race,” Triemplar said.

Henrico’s Andrew Cotman and John Cho were fifth and sixth while Warrior teammate

Calvin would took eighth.

Lee-Davis’ top two boys, Paul Adam and Grayson Morgan sat out the race after taking a 1-2 finish at the Great American event.

With the post season drawing near, Matthews likes what he’s seen from a young squad that loses only two runners to

graduation at the end of the season.

“My big surprise is my third runner, he’s a sophomore, Jonathan Chudaba,” Matthews said. “He’s really come out of the pack to emerge as a solid No. 3 guy.”

Along with Matthew Seward and Matt Longest, Matthews has also converted former ¼miler Sheldon Harris into a cross country runner.

“Sheldon Harris is running great,” Matthews said. “Matthew Seward and Matt Longest have been here for a while and they’re outstanding runners.”

Matthews is pleased with the future potential of his team.

“I don’t graduate but two young men on our whole squad so this may be the year, it may be next year,” he said. “All of our eyes and efforts are for those boys looking forward.”

On the girls side, Matthews’ frustration is evident and he feels his upper classmen have yet to reach their potential.

“I really don’t know what

on Thursday night.

“We knew they were a good team but I think we came out a little slow,” Robinson said. “We knew we couldn’t do that this game and I think it showed.

“We really hyped up the game around school and were ready to play,” Rohr said. “Last time we came out a little bit lethargic but today we showed a lot more heart and we were able to play a lot stronger.”

The Raiders maintained control from the start in set one, sealing the 25-15 win on a pair of aces by Rohr.

In set two Glen Allen showed they weren’t going to go down quietly, taking an early 6-3 lead then finding an answer for every Raider point.

The Jaguars appeared to be in control of the set as they maintained a four point margin, leading 14-10 at the midway point. But after scoring a point on a Jaguar mishit, Atlee’s smallest player, libero Justin Luu (21

digs), came up with the night’s biggest play.

As the two teams battled in the longest volley of the night, Glen Allen looked as if they would push the lead back to four with a kill shot directed just across the net. Somehow, Luu dove to the floor with a flat hand dig to keep the ball in play, allowing the Raiders an opportunity to turn the tables.

Atlee then went on a 4-1 run to take the lead for the first time; a lead they would not relinquish.

“Justin’s a great player and he’s really, really picking us up and keeping us energized especially defensively,” Rohr said.

“You can see one play like that can turn it around and we came back strong.”

Robinson agreed. “Volleyball is a game of momentum and one or two plays in a match can really swing things in the other direction,” he said. “I think we went from down four or five

to up three in a matter of that same seven plays that happened back-to-back. So I think that definitely was the catalyst for us playing a little higher caliber volleyball and moving a little faster on offense.”

The play also altered momentum for the Jaguars. Eight of Atlee’s final 13 points came off Glen Allen miscues as the Raiders took the win 25-20.

It appeared Atlee would run away with the third set, leading 22-16 going into the stretch, but the Jaguars began clawing their way back into the match.

A kill by Richard Galan, block from Eric Trainum and kill from Garrett Fitzsimmons (10 kills, 9 assists, 2 blocks) trimmed the lead to 23-19.

The Raiders moved to match point on a Jaguar shot in the net but Glen Allen went on a run after a time out. A kill from Fitzsimmons was followed

by Raider miscues to pull the Jaguars within two before a back

more competitive race on our part if we had raced them, but our kids today, they did all right considering the circumstances.”

Varina’s Darrick Thornhill took the win in the boys race with a time of 17:02.

Atlee sophomore Tre Fields (17:20), Bizz Alidost (17:24) and Dylan Richeson (17:40) claimed the next three slots and pleased Triemplar with their performance.

The coach liked the fact that Fields and Alidost kept pace with Thornnill, one of the region’s top runners, but he was really impressed by Richeson’s run.

“Dylan Richeson had a heck of a race,” Triemplar said. “I think Bizz and Tre ran well but I think Dylan still closed the gap on them over what they’d been doing.”

Senior Michael Spagnolo came in seventh while sophomore teammate Andrew Franco

poorly,” Robinson said. “They had a couple of kids that got injured during the game so that definitely upset their rhythm.”

The Raiders got an eye-opener in the regular season rematch when the Jaguars took the first two sets on their home court.

“I think we were expecting that same team to come out there and they played significantly better in that first match,” Robinson said. “They definitely woke us up a little bit to their ability. I think from a coaching standpoint, we knew that they could be pretty good. As a player standpoint, I think they were looking past to traditional Capital District rivals and not Glen Allen who is relatively new playing varsity volleyball in our district.”

Atlee bounced back to get the win, but they wanted to make sure there was no repeat

to expect from them in the post season,” he said. “I’ve got a group of seniors that I think at any time can step up and run big but they’ve yet to kind of wake up and answer the bell.”

He hopes that Bonny Turnage, Haley Uliasz and Tiffany Reynolds, do just that.

“They’ve been in the races year after year after year and this is their fourth time. They know what it’s going to take. It’s if they can get their game in shape in time. It’s totally in their hands how they want to do. At some point in time you’ve got to get tired of getting your butt kicked.”

On the other hand, Atlee appears to be on solid ground as they head towards the post season.

“I feel like we’re doing well right now,” Triemplar said.

“Obviously the most important thing is to peak at the right time. That’s just up to us to do the right thing as coaches and up to the kids to buy into what we’re doing and hope we run line kill from Ellenberger gave Atlee the win 25-20.

“We came out and played really well in game one,” Robinson said. “Games two and three I think we fell asleep a little bit on serve receive, didn’t move, we missed some of the defensive assignments we should have made, but all in all we played really well and we had a couple of players really shine offensively, which definitely helped us. They made very few mistakes and put the ball on the floor which scores points.”

Atlee setter Kevin Eye had 41 assists and seven digs against Hanover.

On Monday night (after press deadlines) Atlee hosted Hanover for the final regular season matchup between the two rivals. An Atlee win would clearly put the Raiders in control of the district race.

“If we can win that would definitely put us firmly in the driver’s seat for the rest of the

well at the right time.”

Likewise, Triemplar is anxious to see how his team performs in the post season due to the fact that their makeup is different from past squads. “This is a fun bunch,” he said. “This is really competitive bunch.

Honestly I don’t think they’re as talented as some teams we’ve had but dog gone I think it really means something to them to be successful.”

“We’ve played everybody in the district except Armstrong at least once and we’ve faired pretty well so far and I’m happy with the results, maybe not always how we’ve played against those teams. It’s definitely gives us a little bit of a cushion going into next week against Hanover and the rest of the season.”
