BOS chairman on theater: difficult decision

By Jim Ridolphi news@mechlocal.com

While discussions regarding the pending Conditional Use Permit request to construct a multi-plex movie theater in Mechanicsville have centered on supporters and opponents of the project, the ultimate decision rests with Hanover County’s elected

Board of Supervisors.

Canova Peterson, chairman of the Board of Supervisors and representative of the Mechanicsville District where construction of the theater is proposed, isn’t showing his hand or offering any hints on how he’ll vote when the issue finally reaches that point, but he acknowledges there are strong emotions on both sides of

the case.

That only makes his pending decision harder.

“All legitimate points need to be considered regardless of whether or not they are for or against the project,” Peterson said last week. “It is my responsibility to discern what is in the best see THEATER, pg. 4

or five years, the band Amy Ladd & Friends has been a staple at the New Bethesda Baptist Church in Mechanicsville.

“It was on my heart five years ago to talk to Todd Combee, pastor at New Bethesda, about having a monthly bluegrass, gospel music event — something to would allow the folks at the church and in the community to come and worship through music,” Amy said. “Of course, he was all for it.”

The last Sunday of the month the band and the

church coordinate to provide worship through music.

According to Amy, music is provided by her band and a guest artist and/or group. “It has been and continues to be our pleasure to have this opportunity,” she said.

In addition to the five years at New Bethesda Baptist, Amy said she and her band are celebrating 10 years together. “What started as a family keepsake CD turned into a ministry. After recording our first CD we wanted to share, opportunities came,

and the journey has continued.”

Jimmy Curry was the original guitar player. He recorded with the band on two CDs and the Vol. 1 Christmas CD. “He is a super talent and we loved having him as a part of our group,” Amy added.

Other past guitar members include JC Hale, Tony Cook and Donnie Ladd.

Amy Ladd & Friends consists of Amy, her husband Preston and their daughter Audrey, as well as Craig Wingfield and Randy Litton.

Amy performs lead and harmony vocals; Preston, bass and vocals; Audrey, rhythm guitar and vocals; Wingfield, resonator guitar, Dobro and vocals; and Litton, mandolin, guitar and vocals.

“Our music is a cross between classic country, traditional bluegrass and contemporary Christian,” Amy said. “We have a number of influences that give credit to our sound.”

The Ladds make their home in Mechanicsville, while Wingfield lives in Richmond and Litton resides in Hanover.

As members of New Bethesda, Amy and her family said their pastor “is a big part of our music events. In addition, we have many New Bethesda Baptist Church members that attend and take part in our events. We also have folks that travel from New Kent, King William, Varina, Lakeside, West End and many other counties surrounding Hanover.”

Business leaders guide career possibilities

By Jodi Deal jdeal@mechlocal.com Faith Roberts, 15, a sophomore at Hanover High School, had never had a job interview until Wednesday, Nov. 6.

After her first “interview,” which was actually a practice run with Linda Goebel of Shear and Spa Innovations, Roberts said she had already gotten a key tip for telling potential employers why she would be a good hire: Say more.

“She told me to say more about my background, to elaborate, be specific,” Roberts said.

“That can give people more of an idea what I could specialize in.”

Roberts was one of 49 students who turned out at the Hanover Center for Trades and Technology that night for “Ready. Set. Hire.,” a partnership of Hanover County Public Schools and the Hanover Business Council of the

OPINION | The Local Views

LETTERS

From the editor

Site owner asks that BOS defer theater public hearing While residents in the area where a movie theater is proposed for construction continue in their quest to prevent an endorsement for that particular location, the Hanover County Board of Supervisors could have another month to be inundated with phone calls, emails and every other form of communication available to supporters and opponents.

Last Thursday, Hanover Village requested a deferral of a public hearing planned for this evening. A traffic study was cited as the reason for the delay.

The public hearing, as confirmed by the county Planning Department, is supposed to be on the agenda for the Dec. 11 supervisors’ meeting.

After meeting with Deb Wetlaufer, one of the residents of the impacted community, it is obvious that they are not anti-business or even so much anti-movie theater. Their main concern is the location and how it may influence traffic and crime.

It doesn’t seem to be such an issue of no theater as it is the proposed site.

It can be a tricky proposition maneuvering Lee Davis Road and any stretch along U.S. 360 can promise congestion. Additional traffic is a legitimate concern as is any projected increase in crime.

No one is going to second guess our supervisors — but we can strongly urge them to listen, especially those who have plans for 2015.

Did you vote?

Didn’t hear about any difficulties being encountered at the polls last week, so, if you didn’t take the time to vote — or, worse yet, you aren’t registered — don’t complain about what happens in your state government.

Most of us breezed right up to the election workers’ table and, after providing identification, headed to the balloting area. Polling places are conveniently located, so that’s not an excuse. And don’t even say “I didn’t have time.” How can you not have or make the time to participate in one of our most precious rights and privileges?

Some new faces will be heading into Richmond when 2014 arrives and the best solution is for the political parties to put aside petty bickering and move our state forward. We can join in that transition with our support for Virginia.

Resident prefers tax hike to movie theater in back yard I live in Mechanicsville off of Lee Davis and Cold Harbor Roads. I have lived in Hanover County for over eight years now. I have a daughter who attends Stonewall Jackson Middle School. I have enjoyed living in a safe, vibrant county.

I have not voiced my opposition in the past about county growth. I fully understand the county needs additional funding for necessary things. I would rather have a small tax increase than to have a movie theater in my back yard.

The traffic on Lee Davis Road is always busy, a recent study showed that the area in which the movie theater is to be built is one of the most dangerous areas (car accident prone) in the county.

The Hanover County Sheriff’s Office also has voiced concern over this issue via The Public Safety Impact Statement.

In a county in which first responders are short-staffed and a road is already faced with a constant high volume of traffic, it does not seem logical for a movie theater to be on Lee Davis Road.

As a single, taxpaying mother who contributes to this county, I feel it is your job (Hanover County Board of Supervisors) to not only promote growth in the county, but also to do it wisely.

If a movie theater would benefit the county, then why not have it somewhere on U.S. 301 or further down U.S. 360 towards King William County? I am concerned about the additional traffic a movie theater would bring to my neighborhood, but I am also concerned with safety issues that the theater may bring like, loitering among other more serious crimes.

I believe silence is apathy, so I am trying to do my part in giving a voice for myself and neighbors. Please vote no for the movie theater on Lee Davis.

‘Hanover Quality of Life’ attracts residents Years ago our family moved to Mechanicsville, drawn to the “Hanover Quality of Life,” most notably good roads when compared to the daily “chaos,” traffic jams and hazards, which were apparent on both Broad Street and Midlothian Turnpike.

Over the years, business growth has occurred, and the previous Hanover County Board(s) of Supervisors always voted to ensure Hanover County and Mechanicsville were “safe and “special” places to live and raise our families.

Today (Wednesday, Nov. 13), our “Hanover Quality of Life” is now threatened by a proposal to add a 12-screen “super-sized” movie theater onto a “miniature”-sized road support system, right next to the Brandy Creek subdivision (across from Lee Davis High School), which most assuredly will lead to more traffic jams, accidents and personal injuries, decreased home values for all residents along Mechanicsville Turnpike and increased crime directly across from Lee Davis High School, and very close to Stonewall Middle School, at a time when our Sheriff ’s Office is already short-handed by four positions.

I have reviewed the Traffic Impact Analysis submitted by the proposed theater owner, and also have done my own independent research on the impact of movie theaters in a community.

I am more convinced now that placing a super-sized movie theater onto a miniature-sized road support system is the equivalent of trying to force a “round peg into a square hole,” meaning it is the wrong size and wrong location, which would leave thousands of dollars of unfunded liabilities for current and future residents of Hanover County.

In addition, if this theater goes through, we can expect, especially on weekends, all left turns westbound on Mechanicsville Turnpike near Lee-Davis High School and making turns out of Tractor Supply, Food Lion or McDonald’s onto Lee Davis Road to become “chaotic.”

To our Board of Supervisors: There are now more than 600-plus (and growing) Hanover citizens who — during a very short time — have signed the online petition at hanoverliving.org opposed to the super-sized movie theater.

The question before the board today is not “Are you opposed to a movie theater in Mechanicsville?” because, quite honestly, speaking for myself, the idea of a right-sized theater at the right location is worth considering.

The true question today is “Are you in favor of a movie theater that will lead to traffic jams, accidents, decreased see LETTERS, pg. 8

most, I want to thank the voters of the 55th House District for carefully considering their choice for representation in the Virginia House of Delegates, and then trusting enough to grant me the privilege of representing their interests in the Virginia General Assembly.

While only 27,000 citizens cast a ballot in this contest, I will have the responsibility of representing over 80,000 citizens when I am sworn in, and that is a duty and responsibility I take extremely seriously.”

He said he is taking office “at a time when Virginia, and our nation, faces serious challenges.

I believe the most important issue is jobs and the economy.

In order to meet the funding needs for public education, health care, public safety, transportation, mental health, etc., we simply must create more employment opportunities for our people. For this reason, I will be focused on maintaining Virginia’s reputation as a ‘business friendly’ state. I intend to support those policies that expand our economy, and will oppose legislation that costs jobs.”

Fowler also addressed ethics laws for public officials, saying it is time to improve them. “ Is there any wonder why so many citizens remain cynical about their elected representatives? Unfortunately, too many public officials justify that cynicism. I believe we can do better, and will therefore support legislation to improve gift disclosure requirements for public officials, including their families. I also believe the General Assembly must consider some financial limit for gifts.”

He said that “standing up for most vulnerable citizens should be one of our top priorities. That is why improving Virginia’s mental health system by continuing the transition from the institutions to community based care will also be a priority for me. Reforming, and

funding, the current Medicaid waiver system for the intellectually and developmentally disabled will also be a priority.”

In 2014, Fowler said the General Assembly will need to approve budget funding for the next two fiscal years. “There are many financial challenges which must be met, including over $300 million to meet our future obligations with the Virginia Retirement System, the restoration of funding for public education, growing financial requirements in health care, and additional support for public safety, environmental protection, etc. In spite of these huge financial obligations, Gov.-elect Terry McAuliffe and many others want to expand the current Medicaid system.

Since Virginia is required to have a ‘balanced budget,’ and we cannot simply print money like the Federal government, I do not believe Virginia can afford to expand this current welfare entitlement. For this reason, I cannot support an expansion of the Medicaid system without significant reform.”

“I look forward to the challenge ahead,” Fowler added, “and would greatly appreciate the input and advice from the citizens I will be privileged to represent.”

He said plans are underway to set up his office and have it operating soon. He said he would provide contact information as soon as possible.

In the meantime, Fowler added, he can be contacted by phone at 804-305-8867 or email at buddyfowlerfordelegate@ gmail.com. “I look forward to hearing from the citizens of the 55th House District.”

With the Democrats taking Virginia’s top two offices, and awaiting the final results of the too close to call attorney general’s race, Gordon Silver, chairman of the Hanover County Democratic Committee, said “Hanover Democrats are extremely proud of our performance on Election Day last Tuesday.

Support for theater voiced (Editor’s note: The following is an email submitted to Elton Wade, who represents the Cold Harbor District on the Hanover County Board of Supervisors.

This is a much needed project.

Unfortunately, opponents are vocal on this matter but do not reflect the majority of voters in Hanover County. Again, I urge the supervisors to support the theater.)

I have been following the comments made by the opponents of the proposed movie theater in Mechanicsville. They

home values and increased crime across from Lee-Davis High School, while leaving Hanover citizens with thousands of dollars of unfunded liabilities?” and also whether or not this Board of Supervisors will listen to and respect the voices of more than 600-plus citizens (and growing) across Hanover County, opposed to this theater proposal, and vote “no” and protect our Hanover Quality of Life, and keep Mechanicsville and Hanover County safe and “special” places to live and raise our families, for current and future generations.

Mike R. DellaRipa Mechanicsville

are vocal and they are many.

However, I also have reviewed the documents pertaining to this case, including the Public Impact Statement provided by our sheriff and the Traffic Impact Statement prepared by the Timmons Group.

Opposition to this movie theater can be summed up by the phrase “not in my back yard.” Generally, citizens who adopt this mindset are reluctant to see the positive benefits of the proposal. They are more concerned about “defeating” the issue than working to improve the plan. Case in point: the sheriff ’s review of the proposal specifically states he is not for or against the project; he was telling the Board of Supervisors that his resources are thin.

As a department head, the sheriff pointed out impact on his manpower, resources and operations. This is true for all proposed development in the county, not just the movie theater.

Yet, the opposition to the project would have us believe that this impact statement was something out of the ordinary.

Give me a break!

Our good sheriff is placing the board on notice that for every decision you make there is a price to be paid.

In his case, he probably will need additional staff and resources — not just for this project but for development in general.

I support the approval and construction of this project.

Mechanicsville is long over-

Revenue generated from this business will easily pay for additional deputies and other resources.

Habitat honors founder’s life It is with a very sad heart that we share the news of our dearly departed friend, long-standing board member, volunteer and devoted supporter of Hanover Habitat for Humanity, William “Bill” Short, who passed away unexpectedly on Saturday afternoon.

Bill Short was a man of passion and dedication to his community.

During the building of our third Hanover Habitat home, St. Peter’s United Methodist Church (Bill Short’s church) took on the task of building and funding the entire house.

When they started they only had $1,500 to donate to the build. This did not stop Bill Short. He coordinated an effort to recruit groups from around the commonwealth to come and take a part.

Many churches, a college group and other civic and/or service groups came to build. As is the spirit of Habitat, each came bearing the materials and labor, putting God’s love into action.

Bill deeply believed God

would provide. A group of rough and ready men tried to clear the build site on the first day with picks and shovels.

By mid-day they expected that the site would be ready for the footers to be poured and foundation blocks to be laid.

But, by 11 a.m. they had barely gotten a tenth of the work completed.

Hopes of finishing were beginning to wane, until a man stopped his truck and came walking up. He asked, “You guys need some help?”.

He went on to say he had a bulldozer just down the road.

With the kind help of a stranger, the clearing and foundation were finished that day.

Bill and the others had their prayers answered. Bill was a humble man so he would have never said this about himself.

But, in the eyes of those who have followed him at Habitat, Bill and his faith in God were not only critical in getting that land cleared and that house foundation built long ago, they also were critical in building the strong foundation that Hanover Habitat for Humanity now stands on. Bill and his faith in God has made it possible for Hanover Habitat to now be building our 47th home and starting our first, nine-home neighborhood in Hanover.

Thank you, Bill Short, we will never forget you. Our thoughts and prayers go out to see LETTERS, pg. 15

Hanover Christmas Mother

2013 Hanover Christmas Mother Cathy Tillman, left in the photo above, talks with 1995 Christmas Mother Gabie Crutchfield, center, about a possible speaking date, as 2010 Christmas Mother Betty Stanley looks on. In the photo at right, Roxanne Hall of the Doswell Ruritan Club and her husband Greg navigated a gravel driveway and crossed two sets of railroad tracks while perilously balancing this delicate Christmas food display. Luckily, the Halls and the snacks made it to the Flippo home intact for the Hanover Christmas Mother Tea. Mary Francis “Frankie” Bruce, below, who Hanover Christmas Mother in 1961, was the oldest former Christmas Mother able to attend a tea announcing the identity of this year’s Christmas Mother.

She said she was happy to attend and fondly recalled all the time she spent visiting with people during her year in the role.

In Remembrance of Mother Betty Louise Martin Our Mother was the best parent a child could want. She always provided for us even though she made very little money. I look back over the years, and I can remember how hard she worked – I can see the sweat pour off her as she cut the church grass.

That woman could work as hard (or harder) as any man I ever met. She was always working when she was healthy.

Mama was strong willed and full of love for all of her children; she did not say, “I love you” a whole lot, but she showed love by how she provided for all of us. She taught all of us how to provide for ourselves. Mama was proud of us because she watched all of us grow up and have more material wealth than she ever had.

Mama wanted the best for her children. She loved all of us with an equal love. Each one of us, if we think back, hurt her. I know I have because I can remember bringing tears to her eyes on several occasions. The wonderful thing about Mama is she forgave each one of us every time.

As I write these things, it brings back a lot of fond memories.

Boy, I wish I could just put my arms around her and say, “Mama, I love you, for all the nice things you did.” I know Mama would be very happy if each one of us could say, “Brother, sister, ‘I love you,’ and didn’t we have a wonderful mother.”

When Mama died, my mind was put to ease by two preachers – both of them talked to mama before she died, and they asked her if she was saved. Mama replied, “Yes, indeed!” I know they were Mama’s exact words. My mother is in Heaven today, and that makes me happy!

I want to thank all of my customers for supporting me and helping me to achieve this goal! I thank my team at Sheehy for all of their support! Especially want to thank Dan Carbray, our General Manager, for believing in me and giving me the opportunity! Come see us at Sheehy where we make it EASY!!!

Anita Everett anitaeverett@sheehy.com

When Mama went to Heaven , she probably asked the Lord if He needed any work done. The Lord said, “Louise, your work was finished on earth.” Mama said, “Lord, how are my children doing?” And the Lord said, “If your children are anything like you, Louise, they are doing fine.” Then the Lord told Mama, “Your worrying is finished, rejoice and be happy,” and she is!

Let us not forget our mother. Let us talk about her often to each other and to our children. I am proud of her memory, as many, many other people are, too. She was Betty Louise Martin, known through Hanover County for her love of her children and her hard work. I will not listen to anyone talk badly about her because I am very proud to call her Mama.

Love to, Betty Louise Marin From, Welford, David, Reed, John, and Sue

I wonder what went on in Mama’s mind in her last few months on earth. She probably wondered who would take care of her children. Mama taught us how to take care of ourselves, and may we not forget what she taught us. Mama taught us most of all love; let us all show Mama’s love toward each other.

of Goodwill Industries had worked with each student in the school to assure that all 425 of them created professional resumes.

Jeff Adams of Lee-Davis High School, who studies automotive technology at the center, said he’s been to job interviews before, but hoped the event would help him learn how to represent himself better.

Catherine Holloway, a culinary student and Hanover High School junior, had similar goals.

“I just want to make sure I know the right things to say,” Holloway said.

She said she planned to tell interviewers that she’s a good listener, but also admit that one of her weaknesses is forgetfulness.

Roer i n k stressed how critical inter view skills are for young people who are, ROERINK as graduates of the center will be, entering the workforce.

“We can talk about it, but until you have that experience, and those nerves . . . that’s where the rubber meets the road,” Roerink said.

Superintendent Jamelle Wilson pointed out that those skills are imperative not only for students at the Center for Trades and Technology, but from all schools.

“Schools are designed to prepare children for what is now termed college and career readiness — their world, their future, not necessarily our past,” Wilson said.

She encouraged students to listen and ask questions, not just

be present for the event.

More than one perspective In addition to having an opportunity to interview oneon-one with a handful of professionals from their field, students got to hear those professionals talk about what they’re looking for in employees.

“Since the beginning of the recession, we’ve had at least one opening for a HVAC technician,” Brad Trevillian, Hanover Business Council chairman and TRANE official, said.

Students and their instructor, Richard Nash, outlined skills for visiting businesspeople that are taught at the center, and the certifications they’ll earn before leaving the program.

Austin Knox said he’s currently learning how to troubleshoot an oil heating system, while Chris Novak talked about the soldering skills he’s picked up.

HVAC industry representatives told students those skills are welcome, but the simple ability to complete tasks isn’t enough in today’s workforce.

“Customer service skills are really critical,” Tyler Sinsabaugh of ColonialWebb said, pointing out that HVAC technicians are often doing their work in people’s homes.

“We’re looking for analytical thinking ability,” Tim Mascal of Anton Paar said. “The customer calls you and says ‘It’s broken’.

You need to be able to think

through the system and how to fix it.”

Frank Bresee of Bremac agreed, and said it’s hard to find someone who wants to do the whole job.

Bob Layne of Fastrack Mechanical told the students that good, accurate work is important, but added they

Jamelle Wilson, superintendent of Hanover County Public Schools, told students not to just be present for an evening with business professionals, but to be engaged, listening and asking questions.

should be careful to avoid tunnel vision.

“Not one of those people who call you will be happy when you walk through the door,” Layne said.

And on days when technicians are working in 100-degree heat, he added, they should remember that it’s probably also 100 degrees in someone’s home or apartment. “That can be a huge opportunity to take a negative and turn it into a positive.”

Hanover Habitat for Humanity Mechanicsville

Resident: people need to unite In June 12, 2013, I wrote in The Mechanicsville Local “Kings Acres approval vote”.

I appealed to all concerned citizens in Hanover to “Get informed and get involved.”

We have a responsibility as citizens of Hanover to support each other whether we live in Beaverdam or Old Church.

Support your fellow citizens in this fight!

In only three short months, the progressive planning “visionaries” and supervisors who support their views are back at it again, trying to bully the citizens and ram through another project (the movie theater in the heart of Mechanicsville).

They tried to ram it through without a traffic study.

Thanks to South Anna District supervisor Wayne Hazzard for suggesting the vote to approve the project should be delayed until further studies are performed.

According to the public safety impact statement, this 12-screen theatre with a seating capacity of 2,566, will bring to the Mechanicsville area “Quality of life and nuisance issues, traffic accidents, and suspicious and alcohol/drug incidents.”

The proposed area is densely populated. In a one-mile radius from the proposed site, 4,966 calls for service from our Sheriff ’s Office were received between July 2012 and July 2013, and the intersection at the northwest corner of the site is the location with the second highest number of motor vehicle accidents in the county.

The top five accident locations in the county are located in this area.

Consider adding an addi-

tional 300 to 500 vehicles from the theater to a mix of Lee-Davis High School activities, all trying to depart from this normally high congestion area.

The increase in driver and pedestrian impatience will certainly increase. High school drivers are inexperienced drivers. Also, the demographics for movie goers is typically 16 to 24 years old, also inexperienced drivers. It is a recipe for disaster.

If this project is allowed to go forward, I can eventually see one of our young students dying at the intersection of Lee Davis Road and the U.S. 360 intersection as they dart through traffic from the high school to McDonald’s.

Anyone who travels this intersection knows what I’m talking about.

Supervisors who have not seen the area, I implore you visit the location between 4 and 6 p.m. before you vote for this project.

[Even until 8 p.m. on a weekend when everyone is out

to dinner at local restaurants!]

Once again, I appeal to you — the citizens of Hanover — to stand together and fight back door, back room, ram-itthrough projects.

Ask your supervisors to vote no on the theater in this already, high traffic accident location.

Major Mansfield Mechanicsville

Theater not ‘yes or no’ decision Please join us tonight (Wednesday, Nov. 13) as the Hanover Board of Supervisors considers the Conditional Use Permit (CUP) filed by Hanover Village LLC regarding construction of a movie theater on Mechanicsville

However, the board does not have to grant that deferral and the vote can still take place on Wednesday. We need you at the board meeting!

Bellows, a 2012 graduate of Hanover High School, is the daughter of Tim and Laurie Bellows.

Beaverdam Elementary School is implementing a new operating system called The Leader in Me — aimed at bringing out the potential leader in every student within their school.

The system is based on Stephen Covey’s “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.”

Chip Joseph, Beaverdam Elementary School principal, sought feedback from faculty, staff, parents and business partners in an effort to provide a framework for the expectations of the students within his school.

Their feedback, and a grant from the I AM A

LEADER Foundation, made it possible for him to incorporate the “Leader in Me.” Trainers from the Franklin Covey organization led his faculty and staff through a three-day training session in the summer and an additional training in the early fall.

This level of training and support will continue for the next three years as part of Franklin Covey’s Implementation Timeline.

The class will conclude with

As tour leaders, the students demonstrated many of the qualities outlined of the 7 habits.

SJMS 8th graders get hands-on look at government ing to make the trip work. I learned so much about how the county works, and how much say the citizens have in our government. I did not realize that before, but I’m so glad that it opened my eyes. Thank you, again, for giving me a great learning experience.�

The classes visited the county government complex at Hanover Courthouse on Oct. 17, 18 and 21, with the total number divided over the three days.

The students were welcomed by Board of Supervisors Chairman Canova Peterson and County Administrator Rhu Harris, heard presentations from officials and toured various facilities, including the 911 call center, the Pamunkey Regional Jail and the historic

Hanover Courthouse.

It also was interactive. For example, the students elected seven representatives to serve on the “Board of Supervisors� while others were given the opportunity to speak as members of the public during a “public hearing.� At the conclusion of the simulated public hearing, the “board members� had to vote on the proposal.

In the historic Hanover Courthouse, students were chosen as jury members and rendered a verdict in a simulated court case presided over by substitute Judge R. Craig Evans. “This was a fabulous field trip, and it enhanced our students’ foundational knowledge of civics,� said Amy Faires, Social Studies Department

chairperson at SJMS. “It’s one we know the kids will be talking about until June.� “Hanover County certainly has a lot to be proud of in regards to the collaboration and implementation of this event,�

Faires added. “After all that was put into this trip and the feedback we’ve received, we’d really like to make this a standard field trip for Stonewall students each year. Doing this should make citizens proud of their local government. We’re very grateful for the foundation this experience set for their year in civics and beyond.� “It was definitely informative and eye-opening, to say the least,� said Tracy Dixon, a chaperone for one of the student groups. “As a citizen of the

county, I discovered things I did not know and now have a better understanding of where to go or where to start.� “It is my sincere hope that all the students take what they learned from things like the Board of Supervisors’ hearing, Judge Evans mock trial, Fire & EMS, Communications, learning when they can vote, Public Utilities, etc., and what happens and where they can end up if they break the law, and apply it today and into their future,�

Dixon said.

Nancy Moyers and Jeff Arco assisted Faires with the development of this field trip, which is the first of its kind. They also teach civics classes at Stonewall Jackson.

Maxine was a member of Mechanicsville Baptist Church.

The family received friends at the Parham Chapel of Woody Funeral Home, 1771 N. Parham Rd. Graveside services were held on Nov. 9 at Westhampton Memorial Park.

Charles Pleasants PLEASANTS, Charles Clendon, of Ashland, joined his cherished son, Austin, and his parents, Clendon and Jean Pleasants, when he passed from this life on November 5, 2013. Charles is survived by his beloved sons, Brayden and Parke; dear companion, Pam Hughes; his sisters, Becky Grizzard and husband, George, Clendy Smith and husband, Randy; his faithful best friend, Yancey Jones; and the mother of his children, Ellen Pleasants.

Charlie started his own printing firm, Austin & Brayden, in the 1980, later changed to Austin, Brayden & Parke for “the boys”

who brought him such joy. He was a natural salesman, turning customers into friends with his ever-present smile and great sense of humor. Charlie cared less about material belongings than sharing life’s experiences, and most often was found on the golf course in a favorite foursome. He enjoyed the distinction of having shot a hole-in-one three times, all during the last several years of his game. Charlie was a member of the PHHS class of 1966 and a 1971 graduate of Virginia Tech, where he was a founding brother of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity. He was a long-time member of Hanover Country Club, Hanover Association of Businesses and past member of Ashland Kiwanis. Services were held at St. James the Less Episcopal Church, 125 Beverly Rd., Ashland, Va. 23005 on Nov. 9.

Atlee finishes with big win over Lee-Davis

By Josiah Turner For The Mechanicsville Local Atlee High School faced quite a battle in the first half of its game against host LeeDavis High School Friday night, but Raiders’ quarterback Reid McCoy kept comng up with big plays to help the Raiders pull away in the second half to a 3417 victory in the final game of the regular season.

With 1:08 remaining in the first half, and his team trailing 17-14, McCoy took control, completing 4 of 5 passes and scoring on a 15-yard touchdown run to give Atlee a 21-14 halftime lead. It proved to be a game-changing drive.

“My team depends on me, and I depend on my team,” McCoy said.

His team definitely depended upon him on this night, as he finished by completing 10 of 13 passes for 148 yards and rushing eight times for 114 yards – with four touchdowns in all.

Lee-Davis (5-5) was fight-

“Our kids played hard the whole game, that’s all we could ask for,” said Lee-Davis head coach Zach Hayden.

The Confederates gained the majority of its yards in the first half. The Raiders did not allow a second-half score.

“We just made a couple of adjustments defensively, and it worked out for us,” said Atlee head coach Roscoe Johnson.

“Lee-Davis is a great team.

Coach Hayden does a great job with those guys, and we’re just happy and blessed to be able to get a win out of this.”

Down 28-17 in the fourth quarter, Lee-Davis had two possessions inside the red zone, but was unable to come away with any points on either drive. It seemed as if kicking a field goal may have been a good option, but Hayden wanted to take the Dave Lawrence/The Local aggressive approach.

Confederates field hockey team clinches state berth

By Jacob Downer For The Mechanicsville Local Each of the last two seasons, the Lee-Davis field hockey team has inched a little closer to playing their way into an elusive

Patriots put up fight, but close season with loss

By Jacob Downer For The Mechanicsville Local Patrick Henry High School put up a valiant effort in their final game of the season Friday night, staying close throughout before ultimately losing to Douglas Freeman High School 41-26.

Daquan Morris racked up 220 yards and three touchdowns on 26 carries in what Patriots’ head coach Jonathan Clark called his best performance of the season.

Quarterback Kyle Farkas led the Rebels’ offense, going 10-15 through the air for 222 yards and three touchdowns.

Multi-purpose threat Sinclair Farinholt added two touchdowns on a 90-yard kickoff return and a 23-yard reception for Freeman.

Following the game, Clark noted that his team progressed week-to-week throughout the season, and had one of their strongest showings of the year in their final contest.

“Our kids were so tough, so resilient all year long – blue collar is kind of the way we run things around here. We had a great week of practice this week and we gave ourselves a chance tonight which is all you can really ask for,” Clark said.

“Unfortunately, we let a few opportunities get away from

“Aw man, I’m beyond ready,” said McCoy. As expected, the Raiders will be the number 2 seed in the 5A South Conference, and will host a home game against seventh-

seed Meadowbrook in the first round.

“We’re excited, and we’re ready to roll,” said Johnson.

“We’ll be ready.”

As for Lee-Davis, they fell just short of a playoff berth. But Hayden felt good about the way his team fought.

Following the touchdown, the Patriots were able to capitalize on a mistake by the Freeman special teams unit.

A high kickoff bounced around the Rebels’ kickoff team before finally being recovered by the Patriots on the 29 yard line. Morris then scored another touchdown just three plays later, diving into the end zone from 2 yards out. A missed extra point made the score 28-20 with 5:20 left in the third quarter.

Following another threeand-out forced by the Patriot defense, the offense again found the end zone on the ensuing drive thanks to another big play

by Morris.

The senior ripped off 68 yards on a pitch to the left side on second-and-10, setting up Josh Polezhaev for a 1-yard touchdown run that cut the score to 28-26. A failed twopoint conversion attempt made the score 28-26 with 1:30 left in the third quarter.

Freeman quickly answered to put itself back in control of the game, however. Karkas hit Farinholt down the sideline for a 34-yard reception, and then found the senior receiver again for a 24-yard touchdown see PATRIOTS, pg. 36

Raiders, Confederates advance to regionals

By Billy Fellin Richmond Times-Dispatch To say the Atlee Raiders and Lee-Davis Confederates girls volleyball teams are familiar with each other would be putting it mildly.

“I think this is the seventh time we’ve played them in the past two years,” Raiders coach Curtis Carpenter said. “Their kids know our kids and our kids know their kids.”

Despite the familiarity of these longtime rivals, the Conference 11 title that was up for grabs Thursday night at Atlee was new to both teams.

After battling for four sets, the Raiders weren’t strangers anymore to that title, taking home the first one with a 25-13, 25-18, 22-25, 25-17 victory.

While Atlee (26-2) came out firing in the first set, at one point leading 16-2, Lee-Davis (19-7) fought hard in each successive set.

In the second set, Lee-Davis turned the tables on the Raiders by jumping out to a big lead of their own. But, the Raiders scored six unanswered points, led by solid play from Maddie French and back-to-back aces

from Lauren Stanford.

That run led to a lead Atlee wouldn’t relinquish in the second set, but the third set was a different story. The Confederates, led by Chelsea Matthews and Rachel Gaston, went on a run to lead 14-9.

Matthews had nine kills and eight digs for Lee-Davis, and Gaston had six kills and five blocks. Brooke Bowman had five kills, and Claire Guertler had nine digs.

Atlee was able to get within one point after a Kylah Blackmore kill at 23-22, but two consecutive points by the Confederates gave the set to Lee-Davis.

“It’s tough to play them,” Carpenter said of the Confederates. “I was a little worried because they took the energy from us when they won that third set. We stuck it up and came back at them.”

Lee-Davis jumped out to a 5-1 lead in the fourth set, but Melanie Snyder and the Raiders went on a 7-3 run to tie the match.

“We said that we just had to regroup,” Snyder said of the team’s mindset in that fourth game. “We had to take our

Cavaliers fall to Bruton in first round

Dave Lawrence/The Local

King William’s Hannah Rattliff (22) watches while libero Emily Glazebrook gets a dig in the Cavaliers’ 3-0 loss to visiting Bruton in a Conference 33 first-round game Tuesday.

King William High School’s girls’ volleyball team may have had the higher seed in the Conference 33 tournament, but Bruton High School – its opponent in the tournament’s first round – plays all season in a much tougher neighborhood.

And the neighborhood experience paid off for Bruton as it swept the Cavaliers 3-0 on King William’s home court last Tuesday.

The Panthers play most of their schedule against more powerful Hampton Roads-area teams, and the testing they got during the regular made them more than a match for King William. Bruton (4-17) won all three games by a score of 2512.

“We play against some of the best teams in the state, especially this year,” said Bruton head coach Kevin Schoolfield. “So it gave us a lot of really good training getting ready.”

King William head coach Lew Phillips agreed.

“They come from a much tougher neighborhood, that’s for sure,” Phillips said.

He said the Panthers had other advantages, too.

“I think the visual image that pretty much summed up our night was our setter was on the net on serve-receive and their three front-rows were stacked right behind her, and she hit their three front-rows about mid chest,” Phillips said. “They

had us by an easy 6 inches on average, and used [their height advantage] well. They didn’t hit especially hard – they hit about the same as my girls did – but the same swing 6 inches higher is a completely different ball.”

Because of Virginia High School League realignment, this was the first meeting of the two teams and proved something of an adventure.

Randolph-Macon falls in ODAC v-ball opener

By Dave Lawrence dlawrence@mechlocal.com When Bridgewater College’s women’s volleyball team visited Randolph-Macon College in a regular season match in September, the Yellow Jackets easily swept away their visitors.

When the Eagles returned to Crenshaw Gymnasium for a quarterfinal-round game in the Old Dominion Athletic Conference tournament, Randolph-Macon found a much tougher opponent.

In fact, seventh-seed Bridgewater turned the tables on the No. 2 Yellow Jackets, ousting Randolph-Macon with a 3-2 victory.

Randolph-Macon head coach Bill Rogers said the Yellow Jackets (22-7) faced a much different Eagles’ team from what they had seen before.

“They had just been penalized three matches right before the last one – for something really silly,” Roger said. “They had to forfeit, and they were pretty emotionally down.

They’re a fantastic team.”

“We played together and as a team, and played really hard – played to win,” said Bridgewater outside hitter Carly Casto, who finished with seven kills and two digs. “There was a lot more intensity. … We were talking and communicating a lot more.”

Megann Grimes led the Eagles with 18 kills, four digs and two blocks. Abby Mills had 14 kills and nine digs. Mara Hogan finished with 18 digs and Ashley Weik with 15.

Trojans sweep 4A South cross country meet

By Jordan Bondurant Richmond Times-Dispatch Even with injuries and illness, Midlothian was able to continue its tradition of winning at the region level by sweeping the 4A South Region boys and girls cross country team titles at Pole Green Park on Wednesday.

The Trojans finished 12-3 in the boys race, led by Tommy Mulroy, who won his first region title with a time of 15:59.29. Evan Benjamin finished second, and Collin Hahn was third.

They ran together for the first 3,400 meters. Baron Kieffer from Tabb stayed close at the beginning, but it was when the field entered the course’s more challenging section that Mulroy, Benjamin and Hahn pulled away.

“It’s kind of our unspoken plan to run together for most of the race,” Benjamin said. “We just wanted to keep it together.

But once we hit that last mile, it’s go time.”

Hahn, whose younger brother, Randy, didn’t compete due to illness, knew finishing the way they did was going to be needed.

“The goal was just to stay together and work together as a team,” he said. “We knew that to win we had to go 1-2-3, so we worked off each other coming out of the woods to be the first three guys across the finish line.”

Midlothian’s girls couldn’t come up with the individual victory, but, behind Brittany Whitt’s third-place finish, the Trojans were able to place enough runners in the top 10 to best Grafton by seven points for the team title.

Midlothian coach Stan Morgan said he was happy with the outcome, but knows his team will have a challenge ahead of it at the state meet.

“We performed well enough to win today,” Morgan said.

“But it’s got to be a lot better next week at state. We’re going to have to step it up.

“There’s a lot of good teams that will be there. And what’s important in races like this is where your fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh runners finish.

And on the girls side, our 4, 5, 6 and 7 runners will need to really step it up.”

Glen Allen’s Katie Sperry and Grafton’s Hope Bloxom were fairly familiar with each other after training together over the summer at the Blue Ridge Running Camp. In the girls race, the two ran together once again, this time with a region title on the line.

Bloxom got out to a lead early and never relinquished it. Sperry made one last effort in the closing meters, but was unable to catch her.

Still, Sperry sees the finish as a big improvement from her fourth-place effort at the Central Region meet in 2012.

Rebels oust C-feds in Central 3 boys tournament

By Danny Polk For The Mechanicsville Local The Lee-Davis boys’ volleyball team jumped out to a quick 5-1 lead to begin their Central 3 semi-final game with Douglas Freeman – held last Wednesday at Atlee High School. Unfortunately for the Confederates, that would be the last significant lead they would have.

Douglas Freeman regained the lead in a tight first set, and began to pull away. Undeterred, the Confederates fought back led by a series of big kills by outside hitters Jordan Lafferty and Carson Caudell along with clutch digs by libero Ryan Anderson. A series of early service errors proved costly as the Rebels were able to close the set out 25-23.

“The first game we missed five serves, and we were in the net four times, so that gave them nine points right there,” Lee-Davis head coach Sally Sanders said.

Caudell agreed that mistakes were the difference early, but was happy with the team’s overall performance.

“Our passing was definitely off that game,” Caudell said, “They put up some big blocks on our offense, but I think we played well overall.”

Freeman took the momentum with them into the second set gaining an early lead and maintaining it. The Confederates again fought back to 24-23. Just when the momentum seemed to sway, a Lee-Davis unforced error ended the set.

The Rebels left no room for suspense in the third set as they finished the sweep with a commanding 25-15 third set win.

Caudell finished with 16 kills while Lafferty had eight.

The Rebels’ Nate Mazzini put up 30 assists.

“Our passing was definitely off that game,” Caudell said, “They put up some big blocks on our offense, but I think we played well overall.”

Sanders was happy with her team’s overall performance as well.

“The first and second games we came out really well, the intensity was up. After the third game I think they were juiced out,” she said.

The Rebels’ win clinched a spot in the Conference 11 (Central 3) final as well as a spot into this week’s Region (Central Zone) tournament.

“I’m really proud of them, they fought hard. That’s a really good offensive team in LeeDavis with Jordan Lafferty, Carson Caudell, and Lance Marshall,” Freeman head coach David Calvert said, “Just overall a really impressive performance

to move on.”

With the new conference alignment, some non-traditional matchups were formed in the tournament. The Rebels, part of the former Colonial District, played Highland Springs earlier in the tournament before their battle with Lee-Davis, both teams that were in the old Capital District.

“With the new conference structure, we’ve got some new rivalries with Atlee and LeeDavis and obviously existing rivalries with Godwin and Deep-Run,” Calvert said.

In Friday’s Conference final, the Rebels were swept by Deep Run. “Deep Run is the team to beat in the region.” Calvert said.

Caudell, a first-team AllConference performer, is one of five seniors graduating from

the Confederates. Anderson, also a senior, earned second team honors as did Lafferty.

“It’s been great playing for Lee-Davis. This year we had one of our best seasons in a

while,” Caudell said.

Lee-Davis finished 15-7 on the season.

“We were able to play together as a team really well this year,” Sanders said. “They have the fight; they want to win so bad.”

Sanders noted that she had a special team this season.

“They love volleyball, these are volleyball players. In the past I’ve had athletes where this wasn’t there number one sport,” she said, “This is their sport

that they love and they’re dedicated to every day. They’re willing to fight to win, it just didn’t come out tonight.”

Central 4 semifinal Lucas Pienkowski had 23 kills and four digs, and teammate Sam Boyd finished with 56 assists as Patrick Henry fell to Matoaca in five sets.

Brandon Harper had 56 assists for the Warriors. Rick Spiers led Matoaca with 19 kills.

expect having never met or seen most of these [Conference 33] teams before,” Schoolfield said.

Bruton was led by Sydney Jamison with 10 kills, five digs and an ace. Shelby Shelton had seven kills, six digs, two assists and an ace. Alexis Calloway finished with six kills, 13 digs and three aces and Shayla Hillian had six kills, six digs, two assists Dave Lawrence/The Local three aces and a block.

King William’s Lindsay Rattles hits a shot while teammates Kayla Isaac led the Cavaliers Cheyenne Thorp (left), Erin Anderson (21) and Brittany Hunt (1) watch in the Cavaliers’ 3-0 loss to visiting Bruton in a with six kills.
