When his treatments were finished in August, Storck got important advice from the staff at Thomas Johns Cancer Center at CJW Medical Center: Get off the couch.

As Storck explained, cancer treatment can leave patients fatigued not only physically, but mentally. “You get isolated from people. Your big event of the day is a doctor’s appointment,� Storck recalled.

That’s when he stopped in the Hawthorne Research Center, a library of information for cancer patients, and ended up signing up for the hospital’s cancer support group. “I’m not sure I knew what I needed, but I was curious and thought I’d give it a try,� Storck, who had never been to any kind of support group before, said.

What he found when he got there was a complete mix of younger and older folks of both genders with just one

thing in common: cancer. Some had beaten the disease and some were still fighting.

Although Storck had a very supportive network of family and friends to talk to, chatting with people who had been through cancer was inspirational. “There’s one thing a support group isn’t – a pity party,� said Storck. “There’s an intimacy there that’s hard to describe, but it’s such an inspiration.�

Frank discussion and advice, and even regular potlucks, make the group extremely close.

Virginia Dance Festival Rescheduled for March 2 at St. Benedictine

T

he Virginia Dance Festival, canceled in January due to inclement weather, has been rescheduled to this weekend.

The event, which will feature a wide variety of dance genres by performers of all ages, will be held starting at 3 p.m. Saturday, March 2, at the St Benedictine Theater, 12829 River Road Richmond, Va., 23238. In addition to the 3 p.m. matinee show, a 7 p.m. performance is planned.

Both the matinee and evening shows include performances by a variety of Richmond area dance groups performing tap, hip-hop, jazz, ballet, classical Indian, Irish, ballroom, musical theater, Native American dances and more. The performances will not be the same, and will include both student

and adult performers. The event will also include a silent auction, through which attendees can bid on items from more than 300 local businesses.

All proceeds from the charitable event, which is planned by Jessica Morgan of Jessica Morgan’s School of Dance, will benefit the Children’s Hospital of Richmond.

According to Jessica Morgan, the event’s organizer and the owner of Jessica Morgan’s School of Dance in Midlothian, the festival has raised more than $155,000 for the health facility.

Tickets for the individual performances at either 3 or 7 p.m. are $10 for ages 3 to 11 or $12 for ages 12 and up at the door, but combined ticket prices for both shows are $15 for ages 3 to 11 or $18 for ages 12 and up.

group of students from Midlothian Middle School has won top honors at state-level We The People competition, and will soon advance to the program’s first ever national competition for middle schoolers.

State competition was Feb. 15-16 in Colonial Williamsburg. Midlothian Middle was one of 17 schools participating. The winning Midlothian students will advance to national finals, which will be held May 3-7 at George Mason University.

We The People is a national program that uses a nonpartisan curriculum to help students understand the history and principles of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. At competition, middle and high school teams compete in a series of simulated congressional hearings, which are fast-paced, compelling and open to the public. Virginia’s competition was hosted by the Center for the Constitution at James Madison’s Montpelier, and was held at Woodlands Hotel & Suites in Williamsburg.

Judges at Virginia’s event included professors of law, visiting scholars, published historians, elected officials, and a few law enforcement

investigators. Questions ranged from the constitutionality of drone strikes to sequestration and partisanship.

During the competition, students from 21 classes that won district-level championships or secured wildcard spots served as expert witnesses on topics including the Bill of Rights and citizenship. The teams testified in small groups before a panel of judges that included professors of law, visiting scholars, published historians, elected officials, and a few law enforcement investigators acting as U.S. congressional representatives.

Students on the winning Midlothian team are: Quan Chau, Nick Bampton, Jake Petrillo, Jesse Singh, Luke Trexler, Reshad Awal, Mara Guyer, Nikki Aldridge, Omar Amr, Gunther Abbot, Andy Monroe, Maggie Damico, Yusuf Goulmamine, Andrew Buckley, Harrison Wright, Caitlin Walker, Simran Sarao, Madison Chazo, Bethany Crisp, Kristen Street, Grady Trexler, Alina Alam, Siena Hart, Eric Campbell, Andrew Morris, JT Brooks, Jason Funderburke, and coached by Manuel Rios.

All were honored with a resolution passed by the Virginia House of Delegates Feb. 21.

Hallsley purchased by Brandermill developer

E

ast West Communities, developer of Brandermill, Woodlake, and 30 awardwinning communities and resorts across the country, has announced the purchase of Hallsley in Midlothian.

East West paid $9.4 million for the 545 acres, zoned R-15, encompassing two separate sections of the property. Homes range from

$400,000 to over $1 million. There are currently 140 developed lots with 100 occupied homes and 10 new homes under construction.

East West, which has 40 years of development experience, will complete the community.

East West, a company with 40 years of experience developing environmentally sensitive, master planned communities with resort-

style amenities, will complete the development of Hallsley.

After research and a due diligence period, East West decided to purchase the Hallsley property because of its superior location, excellent schools, distinctive housing and streetscape, and the unique large, wooded lots.

Across Nelson creek, in the western section of the community,

500 undeveloped acres have been master-planned to offer large, 100’ wide wooded lots for builders who may offer a slightly broader price range of architecturally-compatible homes. East West is in discussion with a number of builders interested in this new section.

The Residents Club, over $2 million, including a clubhouse and pool complex, is in final design stages,

with construction planned to begin late this year. Other new amenities in the works include walking trails and other recreational facilities like a playground, volleyball courts, bocce courts and a fire pit.

While Hallsley is located adjacent to the Roseland property, it is totally separate and unaffiliated.

The community is in the Midlothian school district.

students also talked about JTCC’s need to expand its classroom space. They asked the legislators to support Governor Bob McDonnell’s proposed budget for higher education, which includes funds for a new building on the College’s Midlothian Campus. The proposed 70,000-square-foot building would house academic classrooms, faculty offices, a student services center and an auditorium. The project also would include a much-needed parking garage.

asking him to participate in the Free to Breathe event.

Storck also has completed the LiveStrong program, a health course aimed at cancer survivors and offered at the local YMCA. Staff there provided support and encouragement, and, within weeks, Storck was getting his strength back.

“You set goals for yourself, and suddenly you’re doing things you’re thrilled to do again,” Storck said.

At the end of the day, attitude is essential, Storck said.

Some cancer patients get frustrated that they can’t do what they used to do.

The key, Storck added, is focusing on what you can do.

For example, Storck was an avid golfer before his diagnosis.

Now, he can’t hit the ball nearly as far.

needs, and she’s worked at a daycare center. In 2010, Girten took part in a mission trip to the inner city of Philadelphia, and she says that experience made her realize she wanted to do even more to help children. That’s when she decided to enroll at JTCC to pursue a degree in General Studies with a Teacher Education Specialization.

Not only is she pursuing her degree, while working part time, Girten is also involved in the life of the College. She was inducted into the Phi Theta Kappa honor society and is now treasurer of her chapter, and she is active in the Future Teachers Club, where she’s held the office of president and now holds the position of public relations officer. Once she completes her degree in May, she hopes to spend the summer in a Spanish immersion program at the University of Virginia before transferring to William and Mary to complete a bachelor’s and a master’s degree in education. Her goal is to get a job in an inner city elementary school where she can inspire children to reach for their dreams.

“It’s a beautiful day. You can smell the fresh air,” Storck said. “It’s the new normal, and you accept that.”

The fight goes on Storck said raising funds and awareness are both key in the fight against lung cancer.

It’s especially important to generate funds for early detection, he added.

“If we had gone another six months, my tumor may have been inoperable,” Storck said.

He said he also wants to get the word out that smoking is not okay, no matter when you quit.

Storck had given up the habit long before he got his diagnosis.

Lung cancer’s prevalence also is an important point, Storck added.

“More people have lung cancer than breast cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer and ovarian cancer combined,” he said.

to know that they have the ability to change the direction of their lives. She’s proof. Seay dropped out of high school – just three credits short of earning her diploma. Fast forward to today. Now a college student, Seay says her decision to revisit her education was sparked by several things. She says the birth of her daughter inspired her to go after her GED, and her desire to go to college emerged after she began feeling like she had no opportunity for job advancement. Seay says she was drawn to JTCC because of its reputation, and also because of location convenience.

Seay works in the College’s Financial Aid office, represented the College at the Student Leadership Conference, is president of the Future Teachers Club, and is a member of Student Council. And, that’s just the beginning. After she graduates in the summer with a degree in General Studies with a Teacher Education Specialization, Seay plans to transfer to Old Dominion University where she’ll earn a master’s degree in education.

She will then put her education and experiences to work as a teacher.

YOU CAN HELP Last year, 329 participants raised $37,000 that directly benefitted the National Lung Cancer Partnership.

This year’s race will be held at the Innsbrook Corporate Center & Community at 4900 Cox Road in Glen Allen.

Registration begins at 7:30 a.m., followed by a 9 a.m. welcome and rally. The memorial walk will start at 9:30 a.m., the Kids’ Fun Run at 9:50 a.m. and the 5K Run/Walk at 10 a.m.

Online registration closes March 6, and mail-in registration must be received by March 4.

Jig by the James Open Feis set Saturday

BY KOREY HUGHES Special Correspondent

F

eis? Ceilis? What does it all mean?

You don’t really need to know to enjoy the precise skilled movements and syncopated steps of Irish dance at the second annual Jig by the James Open Feis, set for Saturday, March 2, at the Acca Shrine Ballroom at 1712 Bellevue Ave. in Richmond.

The dancing starts at 9 a.m.

If you’re not familiar with the term feis, which is pronounced “fesh,” it is a Gaelic word that means competition or festival, explained event coordinator and Heart of Ireland Dance School owner Aleise Matheson.

The upcoming event is the only one of its kind that is held in the Central Virginia region, and both hard shoe and soft shoe dances will be performed during the

program.

Heart of Ireland, located at 14527 Midlothian Turnpike in the Ivymont Square Shopping Center, the North American Irish Dance Federation-sanctioned exhibition will attract dancers from all over the midAtlantic region.

“It is a venue for any Irish dancer to come and compete,” Matheson said.

Last year’s inaugural event took place at Midlothian Middle School, and Matheson said it was well-attended by the competitors and members of the general public.

“We had a wonderful turnout, and we were very pleased with the number of competitors and the public who came out to watch it,” Matheson said.

The event is an open-platform feis, which means that any dancer can participate in the proceedings, whether he

As Matheson explained, ceilis are minute-long group dances that can include up to eight participants while freestyle dances are solo performances that last about three minutes.

“There are a number of different ceili dances, and they’re set pieces of choreography that will be based on routines,” Matheson said.

“The freestyles are solo-styled river dances that include dancers from age 8 up to HEART OF IRELAND DANCE SCHOOL PHOTO more senior ages that include The upcoming Open Feis will feature lively Irish dancing. teens and adults.” or she is personally affiliated schools involved does not So, what makes a skilled with a dance school or not. factor into the total.”

“If you’re performing in a group, your lines should be straight, or, if you’re in a circle (formation), it should be round. And, your toes must be straight, and you should have good upright posture.”

If you’ve never seen Irish dance performed live, Matheson said this year’s Jig by the James Open Feis will be a prime opportunity to see it up close. “They’re in for a wonderful treat,” Matheson said.

“We have dancers from age 4 up through adult, so they’ll see all ages. We also have dancers who have competed on the world level, so you’ll see the whole range of levels of ability and ages across the board and get to enjoy Irish dancing in all of its glory.”

Admission is $5 for spectators for ages 4 and up.

“I think the biggest thing is none of us are great at everything,” Hannon said. “In any business, it’s all about recognizing what your gifts are and then being willing to let other people do other things.”

At the same time, Hannon said that many people don’t understand operating costs. They also don’t know what makes their product or service stand out among the sea of others that are already available on the market.

“People have a real passion for their ideas, but they fail at things like pricing or knowing about buying insurance.

So, nobody has the intelligence to do all aspects of it,” Hannon said.

“The second thing is to know if it’s needed in the community,” Hannon said. “If there’s 15 people in the community (with the same business idea), the question is what’s unique about what it is that you do.”

Although the Richmond Entrepreneur’s Assistance Program’s focuses on the needs of local residents with disabilities, Hannon said that anyone is invited to the information session.

Proffers: easy thing to hate

BY JIM RIDOLPHI Special Correspondent

I

t’s not just the developers who dislike Chesterfield County’s current proffer system. The method of collecting more than $18,000 per lot on rezonings in the county is designed to supplement capital improvements necessitated by growth in the county.

During the 1990s, it was the only way the county could keep up with the enormous growth and the county has collected millions since the program was initiated in 1990.

But, it’s a system that doesn’t sit well with many citizens, some going so far as to call it a shakedown on new home buyers in the county.

Those sentiments are well placed and the proffer system leaves a lot to be desired.

The concept of people paying almost $20,000 “voluntarily” to offset county costs for the schools, roads and fire stations that new growth requires seems reasonable, and maybe it’s the method that’s troubling to many. Planning for infrastructure is a key element in development and proffers did provide a revenue source -more than $65 million since its inception -- for that function.

Proffer opponents argue the fee does not increase the real value of a home and most of the costs are passed on to the buyers. With a deflated real estate market, some suggest the proffer system may be keeping buyers away, but that’s difficult to gauge in a downgraded economy where numerous factors are contributing to the slower real estate market.

Chesterfield supervisors are set to study the current system in the spring and some have hinted a revamped proffer system is in the works. A committee has initiated work on the problem.

With $15 million of future proffers already assigned to rezoned lots, there’s a lot at stake as officials begin to examine alternative sources to

replace the proffers.

Eliminating the program is an easy sell and most can find something to dislike about a system that charges developers, new home buyers and taxpayers. While the idea of abandoning a program that has provided more than $65 million in county revenue seems palatable, replacing those funds might well represent a bigger challenge.

Hoping that developers will provide the necessary infrastructure upgrades that proffer money used to provide is a pie in the sky philosophy that could lead to serious service shortfalls in the future. Past experience tells us that some will and some won’t.

Examining a method to renovate the current proffer system is a noble and worthwhile goal for county supervisors to pursue. There’s certainly room for improvement in a system that uniformly insults many.

But proffers are similar to other taxes in one glaring way — once a locality begins collecting them and depends on that revenue source, it’s often difficult to live without them. It’s a legitimate argument used to describe many government programs that originated with good intentions but are much harder to abandon than they are to begin.

And proffers might be one of those necessary evils that will be around, in some form or another, for years to come. Revamping that system to ensure fairness but sustains the revenue source is a challenging juggling act that supervisors appear willing to accept.

They should be credited for that courage, but should proceed with caution as they consider alternative systems.

Proffers may not be an ideal system in anyone’s mind, but it’s hard to argue with numbers.

Replacing them could be even more difficult.

Out of this world Millwood students learn about space

T

hrough hands-on learning, pretending and even public speaking, a group of Millwood School kindergarteners recently made their first “voyage to space”.

During a January space unit in Cathy Taillon’s class, students created a “control module” and space helmets out of recycled goods, had a blast-off simulation and ate space food as they “floated” out of this world.

Through their studies, the students learned about earth’s gravity, its atmosphere and the importance of the sun and moon.

Each student was proud to give an oral report about one of the planets, asteroids or stars, or the sun or moon. This was the first of many public speaking opportunities the students will have during their time at Millwood.

Submitted by Betsy Latham.

Cathy Taillon’s kindergarten class is shown here, outfitted in handmade space helmets and in front of a space control center they created from recycled goods, ready to “blast off” into space.

CENTRAL REGION BASKETBALL FINALS

Laying down the law Senior has left a mark on Cosby High School sports programs

Prep League championship the first for boys’ squad since 1997 FROM STAFF REPORTS

Christchurch High School has dominated the Prep League tournament in recent seasons, including six of the past seven years and consecutive titles in 2011 and 2012. Christchurch came into this year’s tournament as the No. 1 seed.

Trinity High School’s Titans needed only a few seconds — the last few seconds — to dispel the Seahorses’ aura of superiority.

Jaylen Hinton’s pull-up jumper from the left elbow as time expired lifted Trinity to a 54-52 victory over Christchurch in Saturday’s Prep League final.

“That’s my go-to move. I got to my spot and let it go. It felt good and it dropped,” Hinton said.

Said Trinity coach Richard Hamlin, “Our mindset on the last possession was, look for the last shot. If we make it, we win, and if not, we still have overtime.”

Trinity looked like the hungrier team from the opening tip. The Titans jumped out to a 7-0 lead with five early points from Abe Ferrell-Logan. Christchurch had a lot of trouble with Trinity’s zone defense in the opening minutes.

But the Titans’ defensive intensity was at times excessive. Loose-ball fouls were plentiful. Trinity committed six fouls in the first quarter alone.

Trinity led 16-11 after the first quarter and built on the lead with a 7-0 run to open its largest lead of the game, 12 points. But fouls and possibly some fatigue allowed Christchurch to rally.

“Our (semifinal) game ended at 9:15 last night, so it was a very quick turnaround. We were maybe a half step slow on some of those loose balls and that caused some fouls. And it’s tough when our point guard (Jaylen Hinton) picks up three fouls in the first half,” Hamlin said.

Hinton picked up his third foul midway through the second period. Christchurch took advantage and sank five free throws in the closing minutes of the half to bring the deficit to 27-22.

Christchurch tried to get out on the fast break and cut into the lead in the third quarter.

Brendan Cole hit a jumper with 1:55 remaining in the third to give Christchurch its first lead at 38-36.

Trinity (21-8) led 42-40 going into the fourth quarter. The teams traded baskets for much of the fourth. Trinity’s Austin Williams had a dunk opportunity with 55 seconds remaining and the Titans holding a 52-50 lead, but he lost the handle, which led to a fast break and a foul. Brendan Cole knocked down both free throws for Christchurch, tying the game at 52.

Austin Williams scored 14 points and Ferrell-Logan 13 for the Titans. Devin Robinson scored 16 for Christchurch.

Hinton was chosen as the tournament MVP. Trinity claimed its first Prep League since 1997.

Cosby Titans fall to Highland Springs

BY MICHAEL SCHOEFFEL Contributing Writer

It was a battle of high-school hardwood juggernauts if ever one existed.

Cosby High School (26-2) versus Highland Springs High School (26-1). Two teams that have held down the top two spots in the Richmond Times Dispatch poll throughout the entire 2012-13 season. A combined two losses heading into last Friday night’s match-up. The Central Region Player of the Year on one squad, All-Region selections on the other.

Add in the seeds of a burgeoning rivalry and a collegiate-level atmosphere and you have all the makings of one fine game of prep hoops - a game Highland Springs ultimately won 64-52 in front of an energetic crowd at the Siegel Center.

The Springers, who came out clad in intimidating all-black unis, rode a 20-8 run over the final quarter to dispatch Cosby, who, conversely, dressed in all white. The victory avenges Highland Spring’s only misstep of the season, a 69-57 loss at the hands of the Titans in the RTD Invitational title game, which took place exactly two months prior to Friday night’s game.

The score was tight and the tempo was upbeat throughout the contest, but it was particularly quick in the second half, when the Springers upped the defensive pressure by utilizing the double team. The two teams went basket for basket in the third quarter, and by the time the fourth quarter rolled around the game was deadlocked at 44.

Halfway through the final quarter, the score was still knotted up, but this time at 46. From that point forward, the Springers, who were playing what could be considered a home game (the Siegel Center is only about 15 minutes from Highland Springs High School), went on a 18-4 run and extinguished any hopes the Titans

may have had for a comeback.

Cosby’s Madison Conyers offered up a general assessment of what went wrong for her team.

“I think it’s less about what they did and more about what we didn’t do,” said Conyers.

“We didn’t execute the fundamental things that we needed to.”

Conyers’ teammate, Ali Trani, offered a critique of her own.

“I think Highland Springs did a lot of things well,” said Trani. “Especially rebounding and running the floor.”

The stat sheet confirmed Trani’s sentiment: Highland Springs snagged an eye-popping 50 rebounds, half of which were offensive boards which the Springers parlayed into 22 secondchance points.

In comparison, the Titans managed only 29 rebounds.

Cosby’s resident superwoman Dorothy Adomako, a highly-recruited junior, posted a double-double with 18 points and 10 rebounds.

Both were game-highs.

Two other Titans - Junior Skye Jefferson and freshman Jocelyn Jones - reached double-digits in points. Jefferson had 14. Jones had 10.

The Springers were led by seniors De’June Robinson, 16 points, and Kermisha Clark, 14 points.

Friday's loss keeps the Titans, who have competed in the three of the last five regional title games, out of the Group AAA, Division 6 playoffs.

Cosby won three regional tournament titles from 2009 to 2011. In fact, you have to go all the way back to 2008 to find a champion that wasn’t either Cosby or Highland Springs.

Trani, who is only a sophomore, hopes to help the Titans to another regional title before COSBY Page 7

On a melancholy note, her career ended last week with a 64-52 loss to Highland Springs in Region semis.

Early on, Adriane Vaughan split time between modeling and sports.

Bryant Jordan Lay sounds like a basketball player, but he leaves the jump shooting to his step brother, Troy Caupain.

Instead, “B.J.” has left an indelible impression on Cosby High School's gridiron and wrestling mats.

The muscular Titans’ senior was an undersized, but standout defensive lineman on a football squad that posted a 17-3 record the past two autumns.

From the wrestling ring, he won the Dominion District title at 182 pounds and placed third in Central Region.

Lay’s lone Regional setback was by 6-5 in semifinals to eventual champion Stone Jimenez of Deep Run. Helping coach “Troy’s Lay in both better than sports was Mike me (in Stefanko, basketball) assistant but I don’t football and head ever admit wrestling that to whistle him … we tooter. really go “B.J. was tough at it.” enough to clog the holes and let the linebackers make the tackles,” said Stefanko. “And with speed he was really able to harass the quarterbacks.”

Lay transferred to Cosby as a sophomore from Eagles Landing High School in Atlanta.

An older brother, R.J. Lay, preceded B.J. in Titans’ football lineup.

B.J. Lay’s father, Robert Lay, is married to Renee Caupain Lay, mother of Titan’s hoops star Troy Caupain, Central Region’s leading scorer.

“We’re like blood … really closer than brothers,” said Lay. “But we’re competitive in everything we do – video games, even basketball, one on one.

“Troy’s better than me (in basketball) but I don’t ever admit that to him … we really go at it.”

Caupain will continue basketball next season on scholarship at University of Cincinnati.

The 5-foot-9 Lay has his heart set on enlisting into the Air Force.

“It makes sense to me,” he said of the military. “I see kids now going to college four years, coming out in debt and then not getting a job.

“If you join the Air Force, they’ll train you and you can still go to college when you get out.”

Lay got his middle name from high rising basketball legend Michael Jordan … now B.J. is thinking of another kind of flying.

ety student, Vaughan carries a 3.6 grade point average taking mostly Advance Placement courses in Cosby’s Health Science Specialty curriculum.

She hopes to combine both basketball and perhaps a major in sports medicine in college.

Recruiting interest has been moderate. North Carolina Central, Norfolk State, North Florida and Stetson are among Division I schools showing interest.

She’s in no rush to make a decision.

“I’m optimistic something will come up,” she said.

“I can’t believe all the hard work I’ve done would be for nothing.”

Let’s clarify that: even if she never plays another game, it won’t have been “for nothing.”

Anyone who ever saw the former model in Titans’ blue, black ‘n’ silver will attest she represented her school with a whole lot of style.
