By Jodi Deal jdeal@mechlocal.com When storms struck the area on Sunday, June 9, 94year-old Elizabeth Britton was away from her home on Chamberlayne Avenue in Mechanicsville at a church picnic in Ashland. When her minister returned her home after the storms had passed, they realized dozens of trees were completely blocking the long drive to her house, which is situated near the Rutland subdivision. Britton’s adult daughter had stayed home from the picnic, and Britton couldn’t reach her due to power and telephone outages. Fortunately, a Hanover County volunteer firefighter and Dominion Virginia Power workers helped reunite the two women, who packed some clothes and stayed with their minister for the evening. The next day, they were stunned to see the destruction, with trees lying at angles on every side of their home. Windows were broken in rear bedrooms, where tree branches punched through walls and

Appointments change 2 seats on School Board By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local Sue Dibble and Norm Sulser were selected on Wednesday to serve on the Hanover County School Board, replacing chair Ann F.H. Gladstone and fiveterm representative Robert Wood, respectively. Supervisor Elton Wade, who represents the Cold Harbor District, made good on a political promise he said he thinks he might have made eight years ago in appointing Sulser to the School Board. The move effectively ends the 20-year tenure of Wood, whom Wade appointed two decades ago. “He’s done a fine job and I certainly appreciate all you’ve done for this county,” Wade said referring to Wood. South Anna District supervisor Wayne Hazzard announced his decision to replace Gladstone with Sue Dibble, a Hanover business owner and parent of school-aged children. Hazzard described the decision as one of the hardest he’s had to make as a supervisor, noting that all four candidates were more than qualified to fill

the seat. He said he compiled a questionnaire and personally interviewed all four of the candidates. “It was tough choice. They all had great qualifications,” Hazzard said. Dibble’s selection was considered to be somewhat of a surprise, but Wade made it abundantly clear that Sulser was his first choice, now and in the past.

Sulser was on the School Board when Wade was elected 22 years ago, but couldn’t be reappointed due to redistricting. “Bobby was my second choice then,” Wade said regarding Wood’s selection. “If Norm would have been in my district 22 years ago, he would have stayed on that School Board.” Hanover is one of the few school districts in the state that see SEATS, pg. 8

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor

LETTERS

Is elected vs. appointed gaining momemtum?

| Reader Views

To no one’s surprise, two long-time members of the Hanover County School Board were replaced last week by the Hanover County Board of Supervisors. What has made this ongoing issue — under the microscope for some time — a little more interesting is the uproar among some citizens concerning the need for an elected School Board. This writer is a Hanover County resident, but does not live in the districts with new representation on the School Board. But, anything involving schools impacts everybody — even those of us who don’t have children or grandchildren in the system. The issue is not about either of the new appointees: Norm Sulser or Sue Dibble. It’s about the process. An elected School Board truly gives us the voice we want to represent us. Appointments, unfortunately, can be tainted in various ways. Now, that’s not to say that any of our supervisors has a personal agenda (although some may jump on that statement) in who is selected. That being said, did the other candidates for those seats really have any chance of being chosen? Or, did the good ol’ boy network this Board of Supervisors is being accused of having become just play the game? We’re open to your feedback and certainly welcome it. Do I believe there are elected officials who have our best interests? Absolutely. But I’m not so naive as to think there aren’t those who are always looking out for No. 1. Will recent revelations — as in the Elton Wade controversy about his nearly $42 an hour salary as a crossing guard — influence voters to pursue a referendum to change the authority given to the supervisors to make School Board appointments? This isn’t the first time this topic has been addressed in this format — and I don’t expect it will be the last. Based on letters to the editor, e-mails and phone calls, the elected vs. appointed issue is stirring constituents. Is any individual or group taking the lead in allowing us to be heard at the polls when it comes to selecting School Board members? This is a time will tell matter. What do you think? Melody Kinser

Silence deafening from Cantor on impeaching Obama The silence from U.S. Rep. Eric Cantor is deafening when it comes to the need to immediately start impeach proceedings against Barack Obama for his latest abuse of power and dereliction of duty in protecting American citizens. The Benghazi debacle in which four Americans were left to be murdered after begging for help would be enough to get most foreign leaders to resign immediately but the latest scandal in which the Internal Revenue Service was used by the Obama Administration to harass and intimidate conservative Christian and TEA Party groups is criminal beyond belief. If Eric Cantor, our congressman and the second most powerful representative in the U.S. House of Representatives, does not start a bill of impeachment against Obama immediately, I hope the Republicans, led by the TEA Party seriously put up a good candidate to challenge Cantor in 2014 for his 7th District Congressional seat. Another politician, Mechanicsville’s own Lt. Gov. Bill Bolling needs to stop acting like a spoiled brat who didn’t get his way and is intent on kicking sand in everyone’s face as he pouts his way home. He needs to start acting like an adult and realize that if he helps to elect the radical leftist Terry McAuliffe ticket, his days as a Virginia politician are over. I do want to congratulate the Republicans for nominating a great conservative ticket at their recent convention in Richmond. I especially like the Rev. E.W. Jackson, running for lieutenant governor. Here is an honest godly man who is not afraid to tell the truth regardless of how politically incorrect it is or how it riles the leftist media. Here is a true patriot who proves that all the African-Americans are not blindly following the dictates of the radical Democrat Party like Barack Obama does. In fact, Rev. Jackson brought the Republican delegates to their feet in applause when he said that he doesn’t consider himself an African-American but simply an American. Unlike the Democrats who cry racism and always use the race card every time Obama is criticized. Rev. Jackson will campaign on his great conservative principles and Christian values and not on the color of his skin. And speaking of his Christian values, I pray that he will continue to speak out against the sins of homosexuality, same-sex marriage and abortion and proclaim faith in Jesus Christ as the only way to heaven. And to any Republican on the ticket or anywhere else who is embarrassed or runs away from Jackson’s tough stand on these sins, shame on you! And, lastly, may I just remind the readers that Barack

Obama has the same views as the abortion butcher (socalled doctor) Kermit Gosnell from Philadelphia who recently was convicted of first degree murder for killing babies born alive after a failed abortion. Barack Obama voted twice as an Illinois state senator to allow babies to be killed if they were born alive after a botched abortion. Kermit Gosnell got life in prison for this horrendous crime. Why not the same thing for Barack Obama? God must be shedding tears in heaven that Americans could be so corrupt and heartless as to re-elect such a monster! Even so come, Lord Jesus! Raymond C. Germeroth Mechanicsville

Jackson’s nomination was a pleasant surprise Many of us were pleasantly surprised at the recent nomination of E.W. Jackson for the lieutenant governor’s spot on the Republican ticket. It came about in spite of what appears to have been a concerted effort on the part of some to deny Mr. Jackson clearly what the delegates wanted almost from the start: that he be the nominee. A few very good articles have been written that address the mainstream media and the RINO’s (Republican In Name Only) attempts to hamstring this man’s chances. His nomination and presumed victory in November will lay down a new marker in Virginia politics. Going forward, a Jackson victory assures we will not be ignored again —- period. The future of liberty-loving patriots as a political force is on the line. Nothing less than a Jackson win can be acceptable so long as we all understand what is at stake.

Graduation plan â&#x20AC;&#x201D; despite failure on SOLs â&#x20AC;&#x201D; OKâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d By Jim Ridolphi for The Mechanicsville Local The Hanover County School Board approved a state guideline-based plan designed to allow some students to receive standard diplomas even though they did not pass state Standards of Learning (SOLs) tests. In actuality, the amended plan considered at the Tuesday, June 11, meeting added the inclusion of Individualized Education Program (IEP) students to the group of eligible candidates for special consideration to receive locally verified credits for graduation. Daryl Chesley, assistant superintendent of Instructional Leadership, said the new policy could mean the difference between a standard degree and a lesser certification for nine

Hanover students. IEP or special education students receive specialized curriculums and study plan specifically designed to meet special needs of disabled students. Chesley said the new state guidelines were released in May and the countyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new amendments would bring its policy in line with state guidelines. While School Board members reached a consensus on the new guideline regarding IEP students and generally endorsed special consideration of special needs students, they werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t as sure about the remainder of the policy that allows regular students to apply for the verified credits. Ashland District representative Hank Lowry questioned the wisdom of lowering scores for some and voiced a renewed

concern for the SOLs in general. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fighting the symptoms rather than the sickness,â&#x20AC;? Lowry said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re saying is the 400 score isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t fair, so weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll just make them pass if they get 375.â&#x20AC;? Students must score at least 400 on core area SOLs in order to receive a standard or advanced degree. Under the new plan, students who meet certain criteria can display their knowledge of the subject in other ways and eventually earn a verified credit toward gradu-

ation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Multiple measures of intelligence is what we are opening up here. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re allowing children to show us their mastery in other ways,â&#x20AC;? Chesley said. Robert Hundley of the Chickahominy District pointed out that students who qualify for the credits have received a passing grade in the course during the year. Although the changes apply to IEP students only, Jamelle Wilson, superintensee SOLs, pg. 24

still appoints School Board members, and approval from the Board of Supervisors is required on all selections. Wade said the implication that Sulser’s appointment was a less than stellar example of political cronyism doesn’t match his record in more than two decades of service to the county. “In the 22 years since I’ve been elected to serve this county as a supervisor, I’ve been honest, outward and done nothing under the table,” Wade said. “I’ve done nothing that word hurt my name — first of all — as a Christian.” Wade also addressed Sulser’s role in the perceived promise. “He did nothing to say that he needed this job or that it was promised,” he said. The long-time Cold Harbor representative said earlier reports of a promise were a misunderstanding. “The only thing I said to the reporter is Norm Sulser was my

campaign manager, and I felt this coming term I felt like I should appoint him as the Cold Harbor representative.” Wade said his commitment to the county remains unaltered by recent events. “I certainly wouldn’t do anything to hurt this county, or do anything to hurt this School Board.” He also announced his retirement from the school system where he’s worked for 53 years as a crossing guard. The arrangement has garnered increased scrutiny regarding his pay of more than $40 per hour. “As of tomorrow, I’m going to retire,” Wade said. Chickahominy District representative Angela KellyWiecek, an appointed School Board supporter, said she could not, in good conscience, vote for or against Sulser’s nomination. She cited a process that did not foster public trust. “I give great deference to the choice of a district’s board member in choosing his or her School Board representative,”

Kelly-Wiecek said. She said the most important factor in the selection process had been lost due to the controversy. “Sadly, the issue of qualifications has been lost in the broader community’s discussion,” she said. “I fear, as a result, that many citizens are questioning the viability of the appointed School Board process as well as other decisions. Kelly-Wiecek said she had no concerns about Sulser’s qualifications for the post, but could not ignore concerns by citizens regarding the process. She said that left her in an untenable position and resulted in her abstaining from the vote. “Voting yes might signal a lack of concern, or worse, compliance over using appointments as political payback,” Kelly-Wiecek said. A no vote, according to Kelly-Wiecek, might question “ Mr. Sulser’s qualifications and his good name.” Both selections will be seated at the July 16 School Board meeting.

of every patriot group across the state must step up and work the phone banks, volunteer to canvass neighborhoods, hand out literature, whatever needs doing must be done. This isn’t for the Republican Party, this isn’t to assure a Republican ticket prevails, it is much more important than that. The Patriot movement has a golden opportunity in Jackson’s candidacy that probably won’t come along again for a very long time. He isn’t a Republican in the conventional sense. He is one of us, a true liberty lover. We don’t owe him to pledge to work hard for his benefit, this is for the Patriot advancement onto the big stage as a formidable political force. We must prevail, and a Jackson victory assures we will. Let’s all get to work. Bob Shannon King William see LETTERS, pg. 14

HANOVER COUNTY TOMATO FESTIVAL

2013

In September, I will be sending my little girl off to kindergarten. Like any parent whose child is starting public school, I have many feelings: Happiness, excitement, nervousness, anxiousness, but mostly dread. You may ask why I’m dreading sending my daughter to school. Hanover County is known for its great schools, and I do not disagree. I am dreading the monumental amount of stress that will be placed on my daughter to pass the SOLs (Standards of Learning) throughout her elementary, middle and high school years. I know my daughter still has a few years before she actually has to take the tests, but all our education system has become is

UP TO

Up To *

“teaching to the test.” Teachers no longer have flexibility with teaching. Everything they teach now is based on what the VDOE (Virginia Department of Education) deems as important information to succeed in life. With such a detrimental learning plan, students are missing out on one of the most important things to learn in school: how to think! The whole school year revolves around these tests. No more being a kid! I feel like my daughter’s childhood is over already. For the next 13 years, she will only be taught what a few people in our state deem as important. The amount of stress on our kids due to these types of tests is insane. I have heard of third graders taking eight hours to complete the test. Kids are going to school sick because they are so fearful of missing the test. Kids are throwing up and

having anxiety attacks due to these tests. Then to have the Board of Education make the tests more difficult so students can be better prepared when they are in college and the working world. These tests do not do anything to prepare kids for college. In college, professors actually get to teach. You get to think in college, and it makes classes so much more interesting. Unfortunately, it looks like these tests are here to stay. Nothing will change unless we as parents get more involved. We cannot just sit back and watch our kids suffer through the stress of these tests. We cannot lose valuable teachers who no longer want to teach because of these tests. And, finally, we need to let our kids be kids. They have the rest of their lives to be stressed.

Questioning Wade’s pay Does Elton Wade work four hours per day as a school crossing guard? I am trying to figure this out. Pole Green Elementary won’t allow students on campus until 7:30 a.m. and students are “tardy” if they arrive in class after 8:05 a.m. That means he must work there for about 45 minutes. Then he has to scoot over to Stonewall, probably a 15-minute drive (allowing time to get in his car, drive over in rush hour traffic, and park his car at Stonewall). He would then be available to start his Stonewall job about 8:20 a.m. Classes at Stonewall begin at 8:25 a.m., so Mr. Wade would be on the job for about five minutes. I’m sure our county would not pay him for any travel time, as he is not working during that time. Do you get paid for travel time to and from your job? So help me out: How many hours is Mr. Wade working? Is it possible to be in two places at one time? For how many hours is he being paid? Mary Gayle Brittingham Mechanicsville

Religion and nonprofit status The history of America reflects the struggle of religious men to live free of the king’s tyranny.

First, the pilgrims came to these shores fleeing persecution. Then, the patriots bled and died on these shores fighting persecution. The result was a land of liberty in whose founding documents are enshrined the eternal principles of liberty. Chief among those principles was the divine principle that the throne must stay out of the pulpit. But there is more than one way to silence a man. If coercion and intimidation won’t work, bribery is always an option. Back in the 1950s, then U.S. Sen. Lyndon Johnson, D-Texas, cleverly employed both tactics when he introduced and helped pass what we now know as the 501(c)(3) nonprofit, tax-exempt corporation status for churches. Suddenly, free and independent church bodies became creatures of the state. Pastors, elders, deacons, etc., were no longer offices of the church; they were now corporate officers, authorized and sanctioned by the state. Brothers and sisters, that’s why your pastor will not “Cry aloud, spare not, and lift up his voice like a trumpet.” (Isaiah 58:1). That’s why he will not talk about “politics.” That’s why he will not preach the hard sermons. That’s why he refuses to read the books or watch the videos you give him. That’s why he tells the church family to stay away from you. He is bought and paid for by the government’s 501(c)(3) tax-exempt bribe. Everyone now seems concerned about the way the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) sought to intimidate and punish “conservative” nonprofit groups. But why should this surprise us? The IRS has been the chief instrument of coercion against America’s churches for over a half century. And where is the outrage among America’s Christians for the way their pastors have been intimidated and bribed into silence by this monstrous agency? If America’s churches had any guts, they would stand up

now and demand that the IRS, along with its infernal 501(c)(3) code, be forever abolished. There was a time in America when we had pastors were men who helped forge a land of freedom. Furthermore, they helped insure that in the United States there was “No king but Jesus.” They feared no one but God, and they loved liberty from the depths of their souls. And they made sure that in this country no civil magistrate could ever tell the pulpit to “shut up.” Whatever happened to those men? Kenneth Hawk Mechanicsville

I brought up this issue back in 1999 when I was running for the Mechanicsville District supervisor’s seat, but at that time voters of Hanover — and the Cold Harbor District voters especially — did not care to hear it. They voted for Elton Wade ever since. So the old

adage of “You get the government you deserve” is true! But, I believe we must fight this abuse, waste and fraud that This Sunday, shortly after is perpetrated upon the voters of the Cold Harbor District and 7 a.m., I was driving on Bell Creek Road toward U.S. 360.

Supervisors need to address salary Elton Wade’s crossing guard salary as $41.21 per hour. He is also a member of the Hanover County Board of Supervisors for the Cold Harbor District. What a great deal for him. He actually works 1½ hours per day as a crossing guard. This comes to $110 per hour or $165 per day for 1½ hours for directing traffic. Several Hanover County residents have checked how long Wade is at each school sometime ago. Elton makes $25,500 as a supervisor and more than $30,000 as a part-time crossing guard, not bad for an 80-yearold fellow. Well done, Elton! The Hanover County School Board doesn’t see anything wrong with this deal. (Elton Wade doesn’t). But this is exactly what it is: It is waste, fraud and abuse. This new Board of Supervisors got its hands full and must act on these issues with diligence. We, the Hanover County taxpayers, are watching you along with the entire region. This is a good ol’ boy network in Hanover. Now Wade has appointed his crony manager on the School Board, never mind that there are more qualified residents for this post.

GEMINI - May 22/Jun 21 Gemini, you are in need of some down time, so plan a weekend jaunt or a brief vacation to relax and recharge your batteries this week.

CANCER - Jun 22/Jul 22 It would normally be quite an effort to pull the wool over your eyes, Cancer. However, in the next few days you will be so distracted with other things that fooling you is possible.

LIBRA - Sept 23/Oct 23 Libra, sometimes practicality gets in the way of your imagination. Though this can sometimes be stifling, you have to find a balance between whimsy and reality.

CAPRICORN - Dec 22/Jan 20 Expect your schedule to become quite hectic in the next few days, Capricorn. You may want to tie up any loose ends now and use any free time to rest.

LEO - Jul 23/Aug 23 Leo, take a few days to act foolish, throw caution to the wind and have a good time. If you don’t, there may not be another such opportunity anytime soon.

SCORPIO - Oct 24/Nov 22 No one can put your plan into action better than you, Scorpio. Stop making excuses and really get started this week. Don’t expect immediate results.

AQUARIUS - Jan 21/Feb 18 Aquarius, a burst of energy has you flying through all of those little projects that you have been putting off. Once you are done, you may have to create a new list.

VIRGO - Aug 24/Sept 22 Virgo, the only way to get through a bumpy week is to keep your head down and your focus intense. Concentrate on the tasks at hand, and the week will be over before you know it.

SAGITTARIUS - Nov 23/Dec 21 Sagittarius, you may not feel that something you did is funny, but others are bowled over with laughter. Play along so you don’t come across as a spoil sport.

PISCES - Feb 19/Mar 20 Pisces, though you feel like you have just been going through the motions, others are far more impressed than you think.

THIS WEEK’S ANSWERS

ARIES - Mar 21/Apr 20 This is a good time to overhaul your approach to fitness, Aries. If you have been thinking about scheduling a physical or getting a gym membership, do so this week.

Plants, I saw an orange tabby cat that had recently been hit, lying in the middle of the road. He was clearly someone’s pet and not a stray. I turned around to move it to the side of the road, in case the owners were looking for it. When I reached him, he was still alive. His breathing labored and rapid, I quickly got him into my car and headed for Bell Creek Veterinary Hospital. Being that it was Sunday, no one was there so I then tried Hanover Green, but, again, no one was there that could help him. I then headed to Farmers Veterinarian Hospital on U.S. 360. As luck would have it, a rescue group from Henrico County was there to have feral cats spayed and neutered. One of their coordinators, Kara, took him and said they would get the vet to look at him; unfortunately, their vet was not scheduled to arrive for another hour. The decision was made to take him to Carey Street Emergency Veterinary Hospital. Later that morning Kara called me to say that he had had extensive head injuries and he would not have recovered. He was

system. Because so much educational policy is set at the state level, Hanover County needs an education advocate in the Virginia General Assembly. Toni Radler, who is running for the House of Delegates in the 55th District, has named education as one of her top three priorities. Toni is passionate about the importance of quality public schools and respects the dedication and hard work of our educators. She understands that a welleducated workforce is the true engine of economic growth, knowing that good schools lure employers. Good schools benefit us all, so in November let’s send Toni to the General Assembly to work for our children and us. Mary Anne Pugh Montpelier

euthanized humanly. To the individual(s) who hit this cat, I just want to say I understand accidents can happened. But to leave an injured animal to suffer and die is cruel and callous. Would you have treated a human the same way? The kind and responsible thing to do is move the animal off the road and try to locate the owner. If you are afraid to approach an injured or dead animal, call Animal Control, 804-365–6485 or Hanover County’s non-emergency number 804-365-6140 To the owners, why would you let your unaltered male cat outside to roam freely? It is irresponsible and dangerous and the results were unfortunate for this beautiful boy. Jo Lombardi Mechanicsville

Living in very dangerous times

(Un)affordable health care act

The Obama Administration now has three intensifying scandals on its hands, a “hat trick” of corruption comprised of the Benghazi cover-up, the administration’s unjustified surveillance of the Associated Press and Fox News and, of course, the outrageous abuse of Internal Revenue Service power for partisan purposes. In fact, so many tyrannical abuses are coming to light that the “big three” are likely only the tip of the iceberg. In any other era of American history, just one of these scandals could topple a presidency. Now, they are symptomatic of an ideologically-driven administration creating a thriving culture of corruption, aided by a sympathetic mainstream media that often resembles a publicly held arm of the White House communications office. We are living in very dangerous times! William Winfrey Mechanicsville

Peace supported bills to increase school safety and funding for resource officers, to allow for a two-year provisional license for participants in Teach for America, and to make reforms to staff evaluations and probationary periods, which will make student academic progress a component of staff performance. Del. Peace carried a bill to give local school divisions the authority to assign librarians, guidance counselors and school-based clerical personnel around the county to meet the staffing requirements. This eliminates staffing mandates and lets local school leaders make our own staffing decisions which will increase efficiencies. Improving education will always be an ongoing process. I thank Del.

ObamaCare is, all by itself, a real threat to one’s sanity and financial well-being. So, if the lousy, illegal, immoral, unread and unconstitutional law that became a law only after the U.S. Supreme Court forced the government to admit it is a tax, which the government originally denied as being a tax. If ObamaCare is not repealed or doesn’t self-disintegrate from lack of funding and the unfathomable rules and regulations (the train wreck) is fully implemented, we can only hope there is a specific code for treatment of insanity caused by the (un)affordable health care act.

more examination. To allow for the nine students to qualify, the School Board approved the measure, but agreed that the policy have an August expiration date to allow further examination of the policy. In other business, an $800,000 transfer of funds was approved for summer maintenance projects. The allotment does not affect the system’s budget, and funds are being redesignated, requiring no additional funding. Assistant superintendent David Myers said a recent tour of schools by the county’s Joint

Education Committee highlighted 291 projects, including bathroom renovations, window replacements and painting projects. The total price tag of those projects is about $2 million and the current budget allowed about $1.2 million of those funds. The remainder was transferred from unused funds from this budget year. Myers also outlined a revised capital plan that shelves major renovations in favor of focused improvement projects at various campuses. Major renovations were expected to cost the school sys-

The School Board unanimously approved the transfer, pending consideration by the Hanover County Board of Supervisors. Hanover High School’s varsity baseball team was recognized for recently winning the Virginia AAA championship in Chantilly. Coach Charlie Dragum’s Hawks defeated Great Bridge 2-1 to capture the title, their first in the school’s 10-year history.

Josh Just has right stuﬀ for Hanover AD post By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com Hanover High School has decided that Josh Just has the right stuff. The school faced a quandary when its first and only activities director, Bob Stratton, announced his retirement in May: Who could replace him? Just got the nod last week, getting the approval of the school board and the support of his colleagues at Hanover and elsewhere. The appointment was announced to Hanover faculty and staff Wednesday. “Josh was chosen for his proven skills and commitment to student athletics, to put it simply,” said Hanover principal Dana Gresham. “He is a proven leader. He is a man of strong ethics. He has proven himself committed to student athletes.”

a great athletic director, a great coach, and a great mentor to me … He’s going to be missed by everyone in the community for the way he went about things and did things – he did it the right way.” Just had only been an assistant coach at Hanover for two years when Stratton picked him for the top football job. Such a move was typical for Stratton. “He took a chance on a lot of us young coaches at the time,” Just said. “He mentored us and guided us to where we’re at now.” Just hopes to maintain the Charlie Leffler/The Local supportive atmosphere he found Hanover head football coach Josh Just addresses the players after the Hawks 38-22 loss to for himself.

I’m doing everything in the way he would have to make sure that our coaches are supported.” Just’s fellow Capital District football coaches believe he is a good pick for the activities director post, even if the move caught some off guard. “I was surprised,” said Henrico coach Roger Brookes, who, like Stratton, is retiring at the end of this school year. “Not that he got the athletic director position, but that he gave up football. He’s such a big proponent of football and such a hard worker … “I was very impressed with what he did, listening to his players and listening to his coaching staff, getting a game plan togethsee JUST, pg. 35

Soggy start to American Legion season By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com The 2013 American Legion season is not off to a smooth start, but at least it has started. Weather and high school playoffs all have taken their toll on the ability to assemble teams and on their ability to practice and play. To add to the confusion, one of Hanover’s teams is playing in a new American Legion district. Ashland Post 206 has begun

play, though the weather has limited practices and forced postponement of games. Mechanicville Post 175, which includes a few players from Virginia High School League Group AAA state champion Hanover, had not – as of this past weekend – even been able to practice, much less play, as its home field at Atlee High School has often been too wet for practice to occur. “The spring season was the

same way with school ball, said Post 175 Manager Eddie Gates. “You got to practice a couple of days, play a game, then wait for the rain. I hope it’s not a cycle that’s going to be occurring this year.” Post 175 has a tough legacy to live down. It went undefeated through the regular season and District 11 tournament before getting knocked out of the double-elimination state tournament with a 10-4 loss to

Albemarle Post 74. The team goes into this season without shortstop Andrew Knizner, who is eligible to play, but is heading south to begin his studies at North Carolina State this summer, and pitchers Chris Childress and James Walsh, who are now too old for American Legion play. That is not to say the team Dave Lawrence/The Local lacks talent, especially in its Ashland Post 206 pitcher Colby Mills and first baseman Joe see LEGION, pg. 35

Trayvonte Brown commits to play at Richard Bland

Staff reports sports@mechlocal.com Hanover basketball star Trayvonte Brown signed a letter of intent to play for Richard Bland College Thursday. “I loved his motor. He’s really scrappy on the court,” said Richard Bland head basketball coach Chuck Moore. “He plays really hard all the time, on every possession.” Last season, Brown averaged 18.6 points and 4.4 rebounds per game. He also had 58 steals. He said he was excited for the opportunity to play college basketball.

bullpen. “We … have a lot of quality lefties. That’s huge in pitching,” said Post 175 coach Brandon Powers. “You can never have enough lefties. We’ve got two … that have been workhorses in their programs. One of them is actually returning from college at VCU. We’re pretty excited about that.” The pitcher returning from VCU is former Lee-Davis star Mike Thomas. Other key pitchers include Atlee’s Luke Bolka, Taylor Crowe and Evan Swecker. Atlee is supplying most of Post 175’s players, but not all. The team features six (including Thomas) from Lee-Davis and three from Hanover. While Post 175 has had a hard time getting started this year, Gates hopes the team can replicate some of last year’s success. “We’ve got guys who know how to play the game, from three different programs – good programs,” Gates said. “Hopefully we can match last year’s [success] or come close to it.” But the team faces a sig-

nificant hurdle – getting all of its games in despite the essentially shortened season. “Already we’ve had to reschedule five games,” Gates said. “We won’t play our first game until 10 games into the season. From June the 18th to July the 14, we’re going to play 20 games, 21 games. So it’s going to be a lot of games played in a little bit of time. I hope the kids can adjust and play extremely well under the two-, three-, four-games a week schedule. … That might be a little bit of a challenge, because most of these kids haven’t been through that.” Although the weather has kept a lid on the start of Post

175’s season, Ashland Post 206 managed to get its first game in Tuesday. While the team managed to play a game, it, too, has been hampered by the weather. Inadequate practice may have led to the two errors that contributed to the team’s 10-6 losss to visiting Albemarle Post 74 – the team that ended Post 175’s season last year in the American Legion state tournament. “We had a couple of days on the field last week,” said Post 206 coach Scott Wooddy. “We’ve been in the [batting] cage quite a bit just trying to work some kinks out. It’s just getting back into the swing of things, trying to get a group of guys together

that normally don’t play together.” While Post 206 managed to keep close to Post 74 through most of the game, the visitors scored four runs in the top of the ninth to condemn Post 206 to defeat. “We came through early with a couple of key base hits, and we threw strikes,” said Post 74 coach Mike Maynard. “My first pitcher, [Austin] Turner, hadn’t pitched for awhile, so we had him on a pitch count. We knew going into the game that we were to throw a lot of different kids a few innings.” The Albemarle team has also been affected by the weather – it, too, had to postpone games and restrict practice. They looked in need of more practice at times with three errors of their own. But Post 74 overcame the errors with ample hitting, picking up 15 hits overall. Jordan Gentry led the team with four hits, including a double, and two runs scored. Lonnie Dillard, Keegan Woolford, Jack Morris and Jack Maynard had two hits apiece. Dillard and Maynard each had a double. Joe Buehren, Cody Crawley and Austin Richardson led Post 206 with two hits apiece.

Staff reports sports@mechlocal.com Two local high school and college baseball stars will get their chance to live out dreams of competing professionally. Goochland and ODU standout Ben Verlander — brother of Detroit Tigers’ pitcher Justin Verlander — will join his older brother in the Tigers’ organization after being picked in the 14th round of the MLB draft last week.

Jacob Mayers, who played at Hanover and the University of Richmond, was drafted by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 19th round. “I think he impressed a lot of people with the type of year he had offensively,” ODU head baseball coach Chris Finwood said of Verlander. Verlander will begin at the Class A Connecticut Tigers. Mayers will play for the Missoula Osprey

something, especially if you take administration classes.” The Atlee coach also said that Just had earned the opportunity. “I think he was the right choice for Hanover,” Roscoe Johnson said. “He’s been loyal to that high school. He’s done some things – him and, of course, the baseball coach [Charlie Dragum] have done great things to put that high school on the map, especially with athletics.” The promotion to activities director does not come without cost. Just will give two things up to take the activities director position – coaching and teaching. “It’s a huge transition. I was fortunate enough to teach chemistry for the last 12 years, and I taught a couple of other things in there, from earth science to [biology] to oceanography,” Just said. “I love teaching chemistry, working with the students and getting them to kind of have fun with it while understanding what it’s all about. “I got in this to teach. It’s been a great way to have a positive impact on kids. That’s why all teachers get into it, I think. I’m definitely going to miss that. But the challenges that are outside the classroom that are on the administrative side, I’m looking forward to them. I’m excited about the opportunity.”

er and adjusting it a time or two as the game went on. He’s the consummate professional and did a great job as a coach.” Highland Springs head coach Loren Johnson was also surprised by Just taking the activities director position at first. After some reflection, however, Johnson understood why he made the move. “He started that [football] program, from the ground up,” Loren Johnson said. “I can understand the change of roles, the newfound task that he’s trying to accomplish … building all of the sports at Hanover, to compete and be on the same level – to be successful at everything that they do.” Atlee head coach Roscoe Johnson was not surprised by Just’s acceptance of the postition, though. He said Just has been working toward that goal for some time – such as by earning an additional degree. “If I’m not mistaken, he finished up his administration degree – it was this year or last year,” Roscoe Johnson said. “I think, with anyone in life, their goal is to move up, unless you want to be a head football coach for the rest of your life. I think we all … want to be able to move up eventually into

ood morning, graduates, parents, faculty, and friends. It is my pleasure to bring you greetings on this wonderful day of celebration on behalf of the Hanover County School Board. The school board and I are incredibly proud to join so many others who offer our most sincere congratulations and well-wishes to the class of 2013. Today we are fortunate to have members of the Hanover County School Board with us. These men and women dedicate countless hours to ensuring that our school division continues to provide the highest quality public education which has become the hallmark of Hanover County. We are fortunate to live and work in a place where the support for public education is as strong as it is here in Hanover. Our entire community is the direct beneficiary of the dedication of this board. We are fortunate to have them working on your behalf. Thank you. Graduates, this is the day you have been anticipating for the past thirteen years. Your families have guided you through six years of elementary school, understood you as you morphed over the course of your three years of middle school and supported you as you as these four years of high school have raced by. Before today is over, I encourage you to take a moment to thank your family sincerely for being there for you. They deserve to hear you say you appreciate them. For the past 2,351 school days, your parents and your teachers have prepared you for this very moment – for the moment when you take the step from childhood to adulthood. They have thoughtfully provided you with experiences and opportunities designed to help you learn what may have appeared to be meaningless facts and unnecessary processes; they have

Continued from page 5B encouraged you to ask questions; they have taught you to work with and respect others; and they have challenged you so that you could achieve more than you thought possible. In Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, love and belonging – that is, the notion of community and a dependence on one another – are noted as the third level of need required for humans to thrive. Maslow suggested that if these needs, among several others, are not met, humans will lose motivation and will not thrive. The correlate of this idea is that we need each other! Regardless of where life takes you, remember the community of caring which is around you today - your friends and family who love, support and care for you and your Hanover friends, neighbors and educators who celebrate you today. While our goal has been to prepare you to be ready to meet whatever challenges you may face after high school – whether

in the world of work, the military or in college, we hope we also have instilled in you a sense of community and a desire to dream. Yes, I said it: we want you to dream! Perhaps that last statement sounds a bit strange coming from an adult speaking to high school graduates, especially when you recount the number of times over the past several months an adult has told you about “the real world”: about the difference between high school and “the real world”; about how much more difficult “the real world” will be once you leave high school or move away from home. We adults say these things because we want you to be prepared for what you will encounter when we’re no longer there to protect you, to fi x things for you, or simply to come to your rescue during challenging times. I also think we say these things as we remember our first experiences as independent

young people, all the things we didn’t know, the opportunities we didn’t take, and the bonds we allowed to be broken. Class of 2013, it is our hope that you will be more, do more, see more and dream more than we did. It is our sincere belief that, with the education signified by your Hanover County diploma, with the support of family and friends and with an unwavering resolve within you, there is no limit to the success you will achieve. As you graduate today, remember that you have been equipped to do the impossible, to be the impossible, to dream the impossible! Congratulations and best wishes on your quest!

Six of the 10 college majors with the highest salaries for new graduates have something to do with engineering. So says a survey from the National Association of Colleges and Employers, which notes that computer engineering majors earned the top spot with an average starting salary of $70,400 for graduates who finished school in 2012. Chemical engineering majors came in second with an average starting salary of $66,4000, while computer science majors, with average starting salaries of $64,400, came in third. The NACE sal-

ary survey relied on information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the United States Census Bureau and Job Search Intelligence, a compensation management firm. In addition to computer science, the survey, which examined starting salaries for new graduates in more than 90 fields of study, found that finance, construction science/management and information sciences and systems were the only majors outside the field of engineering to crack the top 10. — Metro Creative
