– Why pre-plan your funeral? –
Peace of mind: pre-planning takes the burden of making
important decisions off of your loved ones during a difficult time.
notes commendations, suggestions
By Melody Kinser
[email protected]
A review of Hanover County Public
Schools has determined the district operates in a highly effective manner.
During the June 14 regular meeting, the
Hanover County School Board received
a report on the School Efficiency Review
Program, which the system participated
in from November through May. It is a
voluntary project.
The program was created in 2004 by
Gov. Mark Warner to find ways to look at
local school divisions to ask the questions
that the General Assembly would ask of
the Virginia Department of Planning and
Budget.
Working with the state on the project was Greg Gibson, president of Gibson
Consulting in Austin, Texas.
In presenting his overview, Gibson said
the program “is really strong because it’s
voluntary.”
“We were not here to see how teachers
teach,” he added. “It is your job to figure out
what works instructionally for these kids,
these students.”
According to Gibson, his firm visited
seven Hanover County schools. He went
on-site at two of them.
His report included:
Key messages:
✏ HCPS has a highly effective governance structure with stability not found in
public education today.
✏ The division has a very constructive and collaborative relationship with
Hanover County in jointly meeting the
needs of its citizens.
✏ HCPS reaches out to its community often, and values the input received.
Virtually every major decision made by the
school division has the benefit of community involvement.
Strong results through a higher percentage of investment in instruction:
✏ Student achievement is well above
state averages in virtually all grade levels
and subject areas.
✏ The division spends a higher percentage of its expenditures on instruction than any other school division in
Virginia.
✏ The board and division leadership
are committed to continuous improvement
through a highly structured long-range
planning process.
High level of efficiency:
✏ Net savings of the firm’s recommendations represent less than 0.1 percent of
General Fund Operating Budget – savings
identified in several areas; mostly offset by
needed investments.
✏ Improved efficiency can be achieved,
but investments in technology are needed
– administrative applications; process reengineering.
✏ Balance of commendations and recommendations.
(Implementation includes software
investment)
Major commendations:
✏ Low central office and administrative staffing levels.
✏ Existence of automated tools at
schools (attendance, substitutes).
✏ Effective sharing of functions with
Hanover County government (internal
audit, grounds maintenance).
✏ Very good management practices and customer service in many areas
(human resources, food services).
✏ Effective energy management program
✏ Use of procurement cards to streamline purchasing.
✏ Efficiency improvements in transportation.
✏ Comprehensive technology support.
✏ Effective “Blackboard” technology
to share training and information divisionwide.
Major recommendations:
✏ Increased focus on processes and
technology – taking a good division to the
next level.
✏ Invest in integrated systems (ERP
and SIS).
✏ Expand usage of existing systems
(applicant tracking)
✏ Implement additional software

Votes in: new Y named Atlee Station Family YMCA
In April, the YMCA of
Greater Richmond asked the
public to help determine a
name for the new Y branch
in Mechanicsville. Voters could
go to the website, http://www.
ymcarichmond.org/association,
and cast a vote for an existing
suggestion or submit their own
idea. Two hundred thirty-seven
votes were cast.
After reviewing all suggestions and tallying the votes, the
YMCA of Greater Richmond
approved Atlee Station Family
YMCA as the new branch name.
“We are thrilled by the
response to the naming contest,” CEO Barry Taylor said,
“and believe it shows the high
level of community support the
new Y will receive.”
On Tuesday, June 21, the
Y hosted a private celebration
of the planned Atlee Station
Family YMCA with community
leaders and YMCA supporters
at the nearby Rutland House.
Slated to open in November,
the 10,295-square-foot facility is under construction in the
Rutland Business Park, adjacent
to the road of the same name,
Atlee Station.
Plans for the facility include
group exercise classes, a wellness
area with state-of-the-art fitness
equipment, multipurpose space,
a supervised area for children to
play while their parents exercise, handicap accessible locker
rooms and outdoor athletic
fields for youth sports.
“We believe this branch is
going to be a community hub,
and it will continue to evolve with
the community,” said Taylor.
In the coming months,
Blake Carleton, vice president
of Membership, plans to host
community conversations to
determine program offerings at
the new location.
The YMCA of Greater
Richmond serves more than
162,000 members and expects
to serve more than 1,000 more
families in Hanover County
once the new facility opens late
this year.

OPINION
| The Local Views
Guest columnist
Outgoing schools
chief: thanks for
community support
Dear friends,
Please accept this letter as a genuine expression of gratitude for and
appreciation of the entire community’s support of your public schools.
As Hanover County Public Schools begin a new and very exciting era,
we can view the last 16 years as ones that have been remarkably rewarding
and responsive to the challenges and opportunities faced by our students,
their teachers, their school leaders, families and the community.
For certain, what we have realized over these years reflects results and
relationships often second to none.
But, just as a school system reflects the community it serves, there will
always be more to do.
The entire community will once again be called to partner with the
school district in new and meaningful ways as Dr. Jamelle Wilson assumes
her role as Hanover’s 12th superintendent of schools.
A veteran educator and leader, Dr. Wilson’s devotion to the noble mission of public education, coupled with her belief that every child should
succeed, will be the measures by which the school community can respond
to the new challenges and opportunities which certainly await her and the
School Board.
It will be very exciting to celebrate with Dr. Wilson as she invites and
embraces the community’s collective support in a renewed effort to realize
even greater levels of performance for Hanover County Public Schools.
Thank you for your friendship, for your partnership and for your ongoing devotion to your school district’s excellence.
Best wishes for a future of success and prosperity!
Sincerely,
Dr. Stewart D. Roberson
Superintendent of Schools

OBITUARIES
| Death Notices & Funerals
E. Paul Adams, 58, of
Mathews, passed away May 16,
2011 surrounded by his family,
after a long battle with cancer.
Survivors include his wife of 34
years, Arlene; daughters, Ava
Adams and Ginger Case; sons,
Michael Hall and Kevin Hall; two
grandchildren, Mallory Hall and
Emily Case, all of Mathews, and
special aunt, Evelyn Adams. A
memorial service will be held at a
later date. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to
Foster-Faulkner Funeral Home or

Marguerite Childress
Anderson, wife, mother,
grandmother and great-grandmother, passed away peacefully
on June 15, 2011 in her home at
Covenant Woods in Mechanicsville. Mrs. Anderson was born
on Nov. 22, 1921, to Harvey and
Annie Childress, in Richmond,
Va. She married her one true love,
Robert H. Anderson of Richmond, in 1939. She proceeded
to follow him around the world,
a devoted Air Force pilot wife.
She settled in Bon Air, upon her
husband’s retirement in 1962,
where she was very active in the
community, especially Bon Air
United Methodist Church, the
family parish for four decades. She
and her husband loved playing
golf, traveling and playing Bridge
with good friends. The Anderson
house was known in the neighborhood as the place where you
were always welcome, she would
cook for anyone who happened
to be around, and there were
always many. Upon her husband’s
death in 1985, she focused all of
her great energy and joy on her
family, and to this day, they are
still growing. Her legacy is the
family that she so loved and cared
for throughout her remaining
years. Known by those who knew
and loved her by many affectionate names, Marguerite, Ritzie,
Grandma and G.G. were some of
the names that over the course of
four generations became synonymous with love, care and a willing
ear. Mrs. Anderson is survived by
three children, Robert H. Anderson Jr. (Reita) of Chester, Diane
A. Nash (Kenneth) of Mechanicsville, Chris Anderson (MG) of
Rockville, Virginia; and her sister,
Jean Gainous. Also surviving in
great numbers are 11 grandchildren and 33 great-grandchildren,
of which she was most proud!
She was a devout Christian, even
in the last days of her life, gave
thanks to God for those who
cared for her and her family, never
complaining, and always positive
and very thankful for the life she
was given. Apologies to Walt
Whitman. “Entering thy sovereign, dim, illimitable grounds, To
memories of our mother, to the
divine blending, maternity, To her
buried and gone, yet not buried,
not gone from us, To her, the ideal
woman, practical, spiritual, of all
the earth, Life, love, to us the best.”
We will miss you, Mom! The family received friends at Covenant

Blackwell (Gloria); three grandchildren, Debbie Taylor (Kenny),
Robin England (Chip), and Dean
Blackwell (Charlotte); five greatgrandchildren, Ryan Taylor, Tracy

and Taylor Jenkins and Elizabeth
Blackwell. Christine was a loving
and devoted mom, grandmother
and great-grandmother. She was
a long-time member of Fairmont
Memorial Baptist Church, where
she had many loving friends.
Christine was a happy person,
full of fun. She enjoyed so many
good times with her friends and
going on trips with the “Young
at Heart Club.” Christine retired

Continued from pg. 8 b
gram. I cannot let these comments go unrebutted.
I have two sons, both of
whom spent four years in the
Hanover baseball program.
I think after eight years I
have a pretty good idea about
Coach Dragum and the program. I can say with certainty
that Coach Dragum helped to
make my sons the young men
they are today.
Coach Dragum is an amazing baseball coach.
He knows the game, he
loves the game, and he is a great
teacher of the game.
My sons certainly learned
a great deal about baseball in
their years in the program.
What is equally important
to my family is what my sons
learned other than the game.
Coach Dragum taught
teamwork, dedication, work
ethic and community service,
among other things. These
qualities transcend baseball and
are invaluable.
During the eight years that
my family was involved with
the baseball program, I saw the
baseball players under Coach
Dragum excel on the field, in
the classroom, and in the community. I watched with pride
as they pulled together to support players and coaches going
through personal hardships. I
saw them assist and support
community activities. I heard
countless umpires, opposing
coaches and fans commend
them on the class and sportsmanship they demonstrated.
Those things don’t just happen. Great coaches and great
programs make them happen.
Coach Dragum certainly
took the time to get to know my
sons, and they are better people
for having known him.
I cannot tell you how many
times when writing an essay for
an application, they chose to
write about being a part of this
great program.
Several students, including
my son, chose to invite Coach
Dragum and other Hanover
baseball coaches as the “teach-
er” they wanted to honor at
the Hanover Scholars program. Certainly this shows how
important the coaches and program are in the development of
our young men.
After four years, Mrs. Tyree
believes players’ services are
no longer required? I find that
impossible to believe since I see
players from the first years of
the program still come back
to support the team, help with
camps, and participate in teambuilding. This is perhaps the
greatest testament to what
Coach Dragum has done with
the Hanover baseball program
and our young people.

board support
As the summer heats up,
most of us turn our attention
to vacation and weekends of
leisure. We are not ready to rush
through the summer just to get
to the November elections of
2011.
Good news! Those of us
living in the Chickahominy
District can enjoy our summer.
While we are losing a stellar board representative in Bob
Setliff, we have the opportunity
to elect Angela Kelly-Wiecek.
Republican Angela KellyWiecek will continue the
strong, reasoned leadership we
have been accustomed to in this
district.
Angela has engaged in public service during her years as
a resident of Hanover. As the
mother of an elementary school
student, she is invested personally in Hanover schools. She is
well versed on the issues that
the county will face in the near
future and will approach those
issues with the utmost energy
and concern.
Our confidence in Angela
can help us enjoy our summer
plans and know that, come
November, we can vote for her
to continue strong representation for the Chickahominy district.

Refuting
House speaker
The familiar cry of “We
don’t have a revenue problem,
we have a spending problem” is
a false claim that we Democrats
need to refute vigorously. John
Boehner, with tears in his eyes,
cries out, “The USA is bankrupt” . . . but his statement is
misleading and nonsense.
The gross domestic product
(GDP) of the USA is about $14
trillion. And our deficit is also
around $14 trillion. So to most
people’s thinking that means we
as a country owe as much as
we make. However, this is like
comparing apples to oranges.
The deficit should actually
be compared to the total assets
of the U.S. economy which are
about $188 trillion. So the USA
is not bankrupt.
If the federal government
defaults on its loans, no creditor,
like China, would say, “OK, we
will forgive your debt!”

Our creditors will simply
tell the government to raise
taxes and pay the debt. In other
words, take a fair share from the
largest corporations and billionaires to fix the problem.
A decade ago, the federal
government was running a surplus.
This was before George W.
Bush decided to reduce the tax
rate for all Americans but the
biggest beneficiaries were the
wealthiest Americans.
He did this against the advice
of Alan Greenspan, chairman of
the Federal Reserve.
The tax cuts, two unfunded wars and the unfunded
Medicare Part D. Medicare Part
D provided more profits to the
health care insurance companies.
So, with an escalation of
expenses and a reduction
of revenue during the Bush
Administration, we don’t have
a spending problem, we have a
revenue problem!

Dad’s return from Afghanistan top graduation gift
By Jim Fields
[email protected]
Taylor Williams graduated from
Atlee High School on Saturday and
none of the presents she received from
family and friends came close to comparing to the one she got last Monday.
A little after 1 p.m. on June 13,
her mother, Vicki, sent her a text
message that basically said she was
at the school to pick her up and she’d
meet her out front. When Taylor
walked out of the building, not only
was her mother there, but so was her
father, Maj. Steven Williams, who
had arrived just two hours earlier at
Richmond International Airport from
Afghanistan.
“I knew he was coming home soon,
but I didn’t know when,” Taylor said.
“His coming home and being here for
my graduation is the best present I’ll
receive.”
Williams is the acquisition officer
for the 643rd regional support group
“The hardest part about going this
out of Columbus, Ohio. His year in
Afghanistan was at Kandahar airfield time was when I left,” Williams said
and was his second deployment. His Thursday while relaxing in the living
first was about 20 years earlier during

Hanover County is working to improve the appearance
of the county by reducing littering. Through its numerous
partnerships with local and

of littering through advertisements, school assemblies and

Under the direction of

Department of Transportation
picks up the orange bags collected by the female jail inmates
or the probationers.
VDOT also participates in
the county’s semi-annual “road

Community Corrections provides the names of individuals
who have been assigned community service hours. These
individuals sign in at the designated center and work as needed inside the facility collecting
litter if they are under the age
of 18. If older than 18 years of
age, they are permitted to clean
adjacent roadways.
Public Works also inspects
shopping centers and other
commercial establishments on
a quarterly basis to make certain that their refuse containers are not adding to the litter
problems.
Hanover County’s citizens
have taken note of the cleanliness of roads. In the most recent
Citizens Survey (2009), 80 percent of respondents rated the
cleanliness of Hanover County
as being “excellent” or “good,”
up from 51 percent in 2005.
Askew received the Virginia
Recycling Association’s award
on behalf of the county. The
award was presented at the
VRA’s annual conference on
May 12.

275th birthday celebration slated

Foundation, a nonprofit organization, will be celebrating the 275th birthday of the
most famous Hanover County
Patriot, Patrick Henry, on
Saturday, June 25.
Though a little belated,
Henry’s birthday is actually
May 29, Hanover Tavern will
be putting on a celebration for
see BIRTHDAY, pg. 21 ARC
Continued from pg. 15 Due to her mastery of many
skills, willingness to apply herself and ask questions when
she doesn’t understand something, Monique McMackle is
nominated by her teacher for
Outstanding Student.
In addition to being organized and independent in her
class work, Monique works in
the front office at Atlee High
School. She answers the call box
to admit visitors to AHS, sorts
and delivers mail. She is a selfstarter, acting when she sees a
need and is a valued member of
the office team.
At the Raider Gallery
(school’s cookie business)
Monique has excellent customer service skills. She is an
enthusiastic salesperson, makes
change independently, counts
the money from sales and assists
with the bank deposit.
The qualities Monique
demonstrates in educational
and social environments – honesty, leadership skills, superior
work ethic, responsible, positive
attitude, and taking initiative
make her a worthy recipient of
the Raby Outstanding Teacher
Award.
Teacher and nominator
Doris Hodges wrote: “It is a joy
to teach Monique.”
Raby Recognition Reward
Award for Teachers
“Leah Acors educates her
students with disabilities so
that they are on the pathway
from disability to ability,” Ellen
Bennett, nominator, grandmother and retired teacher,
wrote.
With two grandchildren
taught by Acors for the past four
years at Washington-Henry
Elementary School, Bennett
has seen the positive effects of
Acors’ teaching excellence.
Bennett’s grandson has
become an independent reader because of Acors’ teaching
methods and her granddaughter’s self-esteem was boosted
greatly by Acors. She made
Monae feel wanted, taught her
to write and ensured that she
went on school trips.
Bennett has seen the educational foundation that Acors’
has built in her grandchildren.
Because of her outstanding
and consistent communication
with parents there is continuity
of work from school to home
daily.
“Ms. Acors is a wonderful
teacher who is highly thought
of by parents; she is very deserving of the Raby Outstanding
Teacher Award”, said Jennifer
Lenz, principal of Washington
Henry Elementary School.

RETURN
Continued from pg. 16 room of his family’s home. “The
day after I left was our son’s 18th
birthday and his high school
graduation was a few days later.
I was really disappointed that I
missed those events.”
When asked if he was
exposed to combat situations,
he responded that rockets and
bullets were always being fired
at the base.
“I remember walking
through the dining facility watching rockets being fired
out of the compound and walking through the dining facility watching Monday Night
Football,” he said. “Just that
quick, while eating my breakfast, the situation went from
combat to watching Monday
Night Football.”
Williams said he would
always remember the importance placed on dignified transfer ceremonies.
“Kandahar is a hub. We had
a lot of soldiers and supplies
that came through Kandahar,”
he said. “We also had soldiers
come through Kandahar that
had fallen on the field of battle
on their way to Dover Air Force
Base. It didn’t matter what time
of the day or night it was -when they arrived at Kandahar,
there was a dignified transfer
ceremony for every one of
them, with all the pomp and
circumstance they deserved. It
kept reminding us that there
was a war.”
The 643rd is a 60-man unit.
“We all came home,” he said
with a smile. “We went over as

good feeling.”
The major said another
thing he will remember about
Afghanistan is how dusty it was.
“Dust is to Afghanistan like
fog is to London,” he said. “It’s
the dirtiest place I’ve ever been.
I can’t tell you how good it is to
be home and breathe clean air
and see green grass.”
The 643rd welcome home
ceremony was Tuesday in
Indiana.
Unit Commander Col. Chris
Gentry addressed his troops and
complimented them on their
work and the 16-hour days they
often put in. His final order was
to release the unit from active
duty as they now transition back
to Active Reserve.
As for his military future,
Williams has 25 years of service
and said he plans to stay in a
little longer.
“I anticipate making lieuten-
ant colonel next year,” he said.
“After that, I’m not sure how
much longer I might stay in.
We’ll have to see then.”
As for now, he’s going to
enjoy a well deserved rest.
“I’m going to relax for a few
weeks and then get back to work
with my old job at Quantico,”
he said. “I’m looking forward
to Taylor’s graduation, seeing
some family and friends, and
catching up on some sleep.”

Robotics team visits Dominion
Members of the Hanover
High School robotics team,
called the Defenders of the
Multiverse, recently visited Dominion’s Emissions
Monitoring Support group near
the Chesterfield Power Station.
Defenders of the Multiverse
is part of a national program
called FIRST, or For Inspiration
& Recognition of Science &
Technology, that encourages
young people to explore learning and careers in science and
engineering.
Ken Atkins, instrument
technician, demonstrated how
the automated stack testing
equipment known as the MultiAutomated Probe, or MAP,
system works. The Emission
Monitoring Support group submits more than 1,200 tests and
reports annually in accordance
with Environmental Protection
Agency and state regulations
from 18 power stations.
“The
students
were
intrigued with the equipment,
as the technologies and controls
used to build and operate the
MAP system are the same that
the students used to build and
operate their FIRST competition robots,” Dennis Nowlin,
technical specialist, said.
The MAP system, designed
by Dominion, started as a
concept in 2006 to automate

a manual and costly data-collection process and improve
accuracy when testing environmental emissions within power
plant stacks or ducts. Currently,
Dominion is the only utility
that has undertaken a design
measure of this type with a patent on the technology issued in
late 2009.
Using three to four technicians, testing times per station
have been reduced from about
six to eight hours to less than
three hours per unit operating
condition. By using the MAP
automated flow system, initial
estimates of the cost savings to
Dominion is about $5.6 million
a year.
“The demonstration gave
students the opportunity to see
firsthand how the knowledge
acquired and lessons learned
in competition can be applied
to our industry,” Atkins said.
“The students demonstrated a
fine-tuned level of attention and
understanding of the concepts
of our system. Our engineering
future is in good hands.”
The Hanover Robotics team
partnered with two high schools
from New Jersey to win the
2011 Virginia Regional FIRST
Robotic Team Competition.
Each team designed, built and
programmed a robot that participated in a high-tech competition game.

Major Mark A. Bennett, CJM, CCM,

Regional Jail in Hanover, has announced
his appointment as superintendent of the
Meherrin River Regional Jail, currently
under construction in Brunswick.
Bennett will assume the role starting
on July 1, and will directly oversee the
final stages of facility construction, as well
as develop policies and hire the needed
employees prior to the new jail’s opening,
slated for July 2012.
The Meherrin River Regional Jail
will be a multi-million-dollar facility in
Brunswick County, near Alberta, that will
accommodate the pretrial and sentenced
prisoners from Brunswick and Dinwiddie
as well as the sentenced prisoners from
Mecklenburg.
A smaller satellite jail near the government offices in Mecklenburg also is
planned as a part of the project that will
accommodate the pretrial and work-release
populations from Mecklenburg.
Bennett has more than 13 years of experience in the Criminal Justice field, and has
been the deputy superintendent of Pamunkey
Regional Jail for the past five years.
He is a member of the American
Correctional Association (ACA), American
Jail Association (AJA), National Sheriff ’s
Association, the Virginia Association
of Regional Jails (VARJ), and a lifetime
member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars
(VFW).
He has completed extensive instruction on Executive Leadership-Upper Level
Management Training, and continues
to expand his knowledge in the field of
Correctional Administration.

the last few years. But it’s time to move forward. It’s time
to make today the day you’ve been waiting for.
There will be an ID Theft
meeting at Covenant Woods
Community Center from 3-4
p.m. Did you miss out on taking the 12 hour course on Fraud
Prevention held at Covenant
Woods in March? Since that
program was such a huge success, we wanted to offer a shorter 3-part series on all the major
areas of fraud. The first session
will be on ID Theft. You will
learn how citizens have been
taken advantage of, and how we
as individuals can help reduce,
if not eliminate, the chances for
us to become victims, whether
it is reducing the opportunities
by phone, mail, email, sweepstakes, shopping, credit cards,
etc. In August, we will offer
a program on Medicare and
Secondary Insurance Fraud;
and in September, learn about
Charity and Telemarketing
Fraud. Don’t miss out– learn
to be pro-active in preventing
yourself from becoming a victim of fraud. The program is
free to attend but please RSVP
by calling 569-4277.

Are Confederates eyeing a repeat?
Core of talent could
carry Lee-Davis back
to state championship
2011 VHSL Group AAA State Softball Champions
The Lee-Davis Confederates
By Charlie Leffler
[email protected]
Last Thursday afternoon,
the Lee-Davis softball team
wrapped up a few loose ends
on the 2011 season. The
Confederate players gathered to
get sized for their state championship rings, pose for the team
picture that rain prevented in
Chantilly and autograph softballs for players, coaches and
school administrators.
But don’t expect the threads
of the 2011 prosperity to begin
unraveling as the school year
ends. While the C-feds celebrated this year’s Group AAA
state championship run, in the
back of their minds there was
already thoughts of making a
third straight trip to the state
title game next season and the
possibility of a repeat championship.
There is no question LeeDavis Coach Jackie Davis will
miss the talents of graduating seniors, Charyssa Parent
in centerfielder, Taylor Melton
at short, Meredith Holmes
at first, Rachel Houff in left
and substitute Ashlee Nuckols.
Those seniors provided the
guidance that carried the
Confederates to a 26-1 season
and a state title.
“They’re a good group,”
Davis said. “The thing that
impressed me about them this
38
senior year,” she said. “It’s been
so different because we’ve gone
from ‘Ehh, hopefully we’ll win
districts’ to ‘We’re supposed to
win states.’”
But Lee-Davis never would
have taken the title without

When Lee-Davis claimed
the Group AAA State Softball
Championship, it was merely
the pinnacle in what was already
a milestone season for Hanover
County High School athletics.
Years from now, the players and
fans alike will be able to look
back on the 2010-2011 season
as one for the record books.
The school year kicked off
with the Hanover and Atlee
football teams rumbling into the
season as two of the most dominant in the Central Region.
Atlee rolled out to a school
record 5-0 start while the
Hawks finished the regular season with a perfect 10-0 record
and the school’s first Capital
District football championship.
Along the way, Hanover defeated perennial state powerhouses
Highland Springs and Varina
en route to an 11-1 year.
By season’s end Lee-Davis
had joined their ranks as well. A
slow start by the Confederates
was all that kept them from
being the most dangerous team
in the Central Region playoffs.
In field hockey it was the
Hawks setting records again,
not only claiming Hanover’s
first Capital District regular
season title with a 9-0 regular
season record, but their first
district tournament title and
advancing to regional play for

year was how well we gelled as
a team. That’s leadership. They
did a nice job of leading us and
they got us exactly where we
wanted to go. They made sure
that we finished it.”
Houff agreed. “We gradually progressed and grew as
a team,” she said. “We’ve all

setting lofty goals following last
year’s runner-up finish.
“(We) made it all the way to
the state championship game
and coming up short, that was
depressing but I think that
gave us the fire to come out
this season and get done what
we needed to do and win the
state,” Holmes said.
“We knew we wanted to
be back and we knew that we
had the experience that we
needed to come back and be
successful,” Davis said. “Going
into the state tournament I
felt like we were in a whole
another place this year. They
were focused, they were ready
to go, they had the mindset
that we were not going to beat
ourselves.”
Among team goals were
an undefeated Capital District
regular season, a district
tournament championship,
advancing to the regional
championship, winning the
region, advancing to and winning the state championship.
“We hit every single goal,”
Davis said.
But along with ambitions
for the season, Davis set 12
daily goals for the players to
attain. “They’re the everyday
goals that we want to do every
single day whether it be in
practice or a game,” she said.
Among them were; Work
Hard-Focus, Execute short
game, Respect, Stay positive on
and off field, Communicate,
Improve every day, Trust your
coaches/teammates. Listen to
constructive criticism, Be supportive and Hustle.
It was the team ability to
concentrate on those daily
goals that helped them attain
their long-range objective.
“Achieving the main goal
that we wanted to set, which
was being state champions,
being able to accomplish that,
especially as a senior, is definitely something I’ll be able to
remember for a long time and
be able to talk about,” Melton
said.
Nuckols agreed. “We’ve
been together for so long, we
really deserved it this year.”
With one championship
under their belt, the returning
Lee-Davis players will weigh
the odds of a repeat- and that
likelihood is favorable.

eluded batters for three seasons, but without a top-notch
presence behind the plate, any
pitcher can be rendered helpless. After two years catching,
sophomore Haleigh Cottrell
has become the perfect compliment to Heinz.
Then there’s Casey Price,
who has the speed and arm to
play any position in the outfield. Price also developed into
one of the team’s most reliable
hitters down the stretch.
At third, Lacie Madison has
been an anchor for the infield
and another solid contributor
on offense.
But perhaps the biggest sur-
prise of this season came from
the contributions of freshmen
Ryleigh Hawker at second and
Kinsee Stonebreaker as a pinch
runner.
“Ryleigh Hawker played
very well,” Davis said. “She
definitely did not play like a
freshman in the state tournament. That double-play she
played against Battlefield was
really the difference maker in
the game. She also had two of
her hits against Battlefield.
“Kinsee Stonebreaker does
an awesome job on the bases
for Kelly,” Davis added. “It’s

Patriots provided a key to Confederates’ championship
By Charlie Leffler

While a year of expectations, lofty goals and hard work
brought the Lee-Davis softball
team back to the state championship game and on to the
Group AAA title, the team got
a boost from an unexpected
source along the way.
Patrick Henry was the only
team to defeat Lee-Davis this
season and in doing so the
Patriots may have provided
the necessary push for the
Confederates to claim the state
trophy.
When Patrick Henry handed
Lee-Davis a 1-0 loss on May 11,
Confederates’ head coach Jackie
Davis was clearly irritated by
her team’s performance. “I was
mad at first because we did not
play well in that game,” she said.
But after speaking to reporters,
Davis settled down and saw the
loss in a different light.
“I brought the team back
together that night and said,
‘Look, in the whole scheme of
things, this is a non-district
game in the regular season that
does not matter’,” Davis said.
“’Hopefully in four weeks we’re
going to look on tonight and
go, hey we learned a lesson. We
know we have to come ready to
play. We have to be focused. We
have to get up for every game.’”
As a result of the loss, Davis
switched Rachel Houff and
Casey Price in the outfield. Until
then Price had played left while
Houff was in right. But with
opponents directing a majority
of their offense towards right
field, Davis wanted to put her
best arm in that position.
On offense, Davis flipflopped Price and Kelly Heinz in
the batting order to have a solid
presence behind her pitcher.
Prior to that, opponents could
pitch around the potent Heinz
to get to the next batter. With the
switch, Price provided a powerful offensive presence with a
runner on base which proved
vital during the title run.
“I think that really was a
lesson learned for us,” Davis
said. “We were able to refocus.
We made some lineup changes
at that point to try to get more
production and solidify our
defense and I think all of the
things that came out of that loss
was nothing but positives.”
we can put in, in situations
like that.”
But there is also talent waiting in the wings “We have
some role players that didn’t
see a lot of time, that may
eventually, hopefully, come
back and fight for a starting
position next year,” Davis said.
All of which makes the
coach very optimistic about
next season.
“I’d like to say that the goals
you see in our locker room will
be the same goals in the locker
room next year,” she said. “So
I’ll be excited to try and go get
it again next year.”

Kyle Bishop bids fond farewell to Atlee
Pole vaulting era
comes to an end
for Raiders
By Charlie Leffler
[email protected]
This past week brought an
end to the school year at Atlee
High School, but also the close
of a remarkable era for Raiders’
pole vault program. Not only
did Atlee bid farewell to the
most prolific vaulters in school
history, seniors Cameron
Overstreet and Chris Pillow,
but the man who developed
their talent along of countless
others over the years; Coach
Kyle Bishop.
“My daughter graduated.
All my kids except one is a
senior, so it’s now time to find
a new challenge,” Bishop said
after watching both Overstreet
and Pillow claim Group AAA
state championship titles two
weeks ago.
Bishop has yet to reveal what
the future holds, but there are
no questions as to what he has
done in his past. In many ways,
Bishop played a major role in

A 30-year veteran pole vault coach, Kyle Bishop (in orange), has decided it’s time to bid farewell to Atlee High School and move on to new challenges. Over his
coaching career in Hanover County Bishop has developed countless top pole vaulters reaching a pinnacle this season with a pair of state championships. Above

vaulting did not fall into extinction in the Richmond area.
“There was a long time
there….there were so few

Former Lee-Davis player
Brandon Angus came into the
American Legion baseball season sporting a little rust. Because
he took a post-graduate year at
FUMA, Angus went a long time
without playing the game.
On Sunday, the offensive layoff showed through for Angus as
he started with a 0-3 mark at the
plate against Post 184-P. “At the
beginning of the game I didn’t
feel like I was doing so hot,”
Angus said.
But in the bottom of the
eighth, Angus made up for the
missed efforts with the first
40
grand slam of his baseball career
to give Post 175 a walk-off 11-1
victory over Post 184-P.
“That last at bat I was just
like, ‘I need to get a hit somewhere’,” he said. “I just took off,
spread out a little bit and put the
ball in play, it just so happened I
hit a home run, actually a walkoff grand slam.”
With an 11-1 win,
Mechanicsville maintained
an unblemished 3-0 record
going into the third week of
the American Legion season.
However, appearances can be
deceiving. After two weeks of
play nearly half of Post 175’s
games have suffered rain outs,
which means the already tough
The Mechanicsville Local

schedule will get even more difficult as the season progresses.
Mechanicsville is slated to
play five games this week and
seven over a nine day period
with the possibility of rescheduled rainouts being thrown in
on the open dates.
“We’ll find out what we’re
made of in the next couple of
weeks because we’ll play about
10 or 11 games in about 13 days,”
said Post 175 head coach Eddie

at that point in time. I wasn’t
able to stop them.”
The loss of the sport spurred
Bishop’s move from Chesterfield
to Hanover County, where he
took on the job of pole vaulting coach at Lee-Davis High
School.
Bishop felt it was his duty
to make sure the sport sur-
vived. The perception was, and
rightfully so, that pole vaulting
was too expensive a sport for
the limited number of athletes

Baseball saw Atlee’s return
to power, as the Raiders claimed
both the Capital District regular season and tournament
titles.
In soccer, the Hanover boys
ran past perennial district powers Atlee and Lee-Davis to take
the Capital District regular season title while the Confederates
became the unlikeliest tournament champions, winning the
trophy despite a 6-9-2 record.
The Atlee girls claimed yet
another district title while and
oft-injured Hanover squad
gritted it out and advanced
to regional play with a 6-9-2
record.
But it was softball that was
the sport of the year in Hanover
County. Overshadowed by LeeDavis’ state championship is the
fact that every county team was
ranked in the Top-10 for most
of the season.
Patrick Henry, the only team
to defeat Lee-Davis this season,
swept both the Colonial District
regular season and tournament.
Hanover overcame early season
struggles to edge out Atlee and
return to regional play.
All in all it was a year to
remember and one that will be
difficult to match in the seasons
ahead.
of competition and everything,”
Overstreet said. “He can always
read your moods. If you need
to be pushed, if you need to be
yelled at, he’s there to do that. If
you’re feeling a little down that
day, he’s there to motivate you
more softly.”
Now the time is right for
Bishop to step away. Having
developed both Overstreet and
Pillow into two of the nation’s top
pole vauters in the same year.
But Bishop will leave behind
an unforgettable legacy. “I owe
my complete four years, all my
success to him,” Overstreet said.
“I feel like he’s a part of my family because most of the time I see
him more than I see my parents.
It’s going to be sad next year
not working with him. I know
I’m going to have great coaches
working at UNC, but really,
everything I owe to him.”
For Bishop, it’s all about
knowing the athlete. “Knowing
a statistic about them and knowing their name is one thing,” he
said. “But really knowing the
kid, and because I only work
with about a half dozen kids,
I know the kids, I know their
families. It’s a very a very tight
knit group. They’re great. The
kids I’ve had the last few years
have just been awesome.”

the first time.
Cross country showed the
emergence of Hanover freshman Molly Breidenbaugh,
who along with senior Anna
Gordon attained All-State status. Breidenbaugh finished first
in the Capital District, fourth in
the Central Region and sixth in
the state.
Meanwhile her male counterparts claimed Hanover’s
first boys Capital District cross
country title.
The Atlee girls volleyball
team also went into the record
books by finishing the season
with a 26-2 record and taking
the Raiders to the state semifinals for the first time.
The local schools did not
cool off with the arrival of
winter as the Hanover wrestling team repeated as Central
Region champions while Tanner
Tinsely claimed the state title in
the 152 class.
The girls’ basketball season was filled with surprises
for local teams. Patrick Henry
rolled through a stellar regular
season which saw Taylor Huber
become the leading scorer, boys
or girls, in school history.
Both Hanover and LeeDavis supplied inspirational
moments. The Confederates
completed a remarkable turnaround to finish fourth in the
Capital District while Hanover
made a highly unexpected trip
to regional play.
Meanwhile the Hanover
boys also returned to regional
play for the first time since the
Ed Davis era.
In gymnastics Atlee tied for
fifth in the state while swimming saw the Raiders take both
boys and girls Central Region
titles.
But the highlight of the winter season was clearly claimed
by the Atlee boys Indoor track
& field squad which claimed
the school’s first state title. It was
also the first boys state championship in any sport for the
Raiders.

involved. “It’s hard to justify that
amount of money for so few
kids,” Bishop said.
Therefore Bishop not only
helped the Confederate pole
vaulters but any who needed
training. “I figured I’m going
to help everybody and if I help
everybody then that will give
me competition and will give
me and everybody else a reason
to have the events.”
With the opening of Atlee
in the 1990’s Bishop made the
move to the new school and
soon afterward found salvation
for pole vaulting when the sport
underwent a gender movement.
“It really became a sport for
the girls, actually about 15 years
ago,” Bishop said. “Women saved
the pole vault. All of a sudden it’s
double the amount of students
using the equipment and it’s
easier to justify the expense.”
With the pressure of survival
relieved, Bishop could go back
to developing talent and 2011
served as a pinnacle with the
achievements of Overstreet and
Pillow.
What makes Bishop a good
coach?
“To begin with, he has so
much experience,” Overstreet
said. “He’s dealt with all types of
attitudes, all types of styles. He’s
been there, done it.”
Pillow agreed. “He just knows
everything about the vault.”
More importantly, after 30
years of coaching Bishop knows
how to read his vaulters. “I’ve
been there, done that and gotten
the t-shirt several times,” he said.
“I tell these kids, ‘This is your
first senior year. This is my 30th
senior year as a coach, so I know
how these things work.’”
A coaching adjustment
Bishop made to help Pillow
achieve records was never telling
him what the height was. “That’s
a thing that me and my coach
do,” Pillow said. “He doesn’t tell
me the height, he tells me just
jump it so it doesn’t get in my
head.”
With Pillow looking to make
his final run at the state championships, Bishop knew his
vaulter so well he predicted the
outcome. “I turned to the guys,
‘He’s nervous. He’s going to run
through, then he’s going to just
barely tip it off,’ because that’s
what you do when you’re in a
new situation.”
Pillow did exactly as Bishop
forecast.

Renovated rings await Deep Run participants
Annual show leaps
into action June 22
By Jim Ridolphi
For The Mechanicsville Local
Equestrians from across the
region are once again preparing
to make the trip to Goochland
County for one of the South’s
oldest and most prestigious
horse shows. The Deep Run
Horse Show opens June 22 and
runs through June 26 at the
Manakin show grounds.
The event has a rich history
in Goochland, and annually
attracts some of the best riders
in the region for the five-day
competition, highlighted by the
Bryan Trophy competition on
the final day.
“The Deep Run Horse
Show is over 50 years old and
has been held each year at the
current location in ManakinSabot on the Deep Run Hunt
Show Grounds” said Deep Run
Horse Show Association president Pam Johnson. “It began
in the early sixties as a twoday Junior Show and evolved
and grew into our current five
day Professional and Junior/
Amateur AA Rated USEF show.
Last year we were honored to
have been designated a USEF
Heritage Competition,” she
added.
Show officials are expecting
a healthy turnout for the traditional competition.
“This show will once again
draw over 400 horses from the
east coast,” Johnson said. “Riders
will compete for prize money
and points in our many rated
divisions. The points earned
will go towards the end of the
year zone and national awards.
New this year is our designation
as a World Champion Hunter
Rider Event. Deep Run will be
one of 50 shows to offer the
chance for riders to earn points
toward this end of the year coveted award,” she added.
The show’s signature event,
the Bryan Trophy Medal Class
is scheduled for Sunday morn-
ing, the final day of the event.
Markel Insurance Company will
again sponsor the event. The
50th edition of the competition,
and will dedicate the event to
the memory of their employee
and longtime supporter of the
Goochland event, Mary Anne
Conrad Kean.
“She served as the show
manager when it grew from a
two- day to our now five-day
schedule,” Johnson said. “Mary
Ann was an equine life underwriter for over 26 years and
was an unfailing supporter of
this show. She will be sorely
missed.”
Kean worked as a Markel
underwriter, and served as a
steward for events around the
state until her death in March.
Deep Run will also dedicate
its Thanksgiving show to the
memory of Kean.
Participants will also notice
some enhanced surroundings
on the grounds this year. The
competition areas have undergone total renovations.

To add to the difficulties,
this is Beach Week which means
Gates will have to work shorthanded. On Sunday, Gates was
missing eight of the nineteen
players currently on the roster.
“It will be a test to see how
much pitching we have,” said
Jordan Boze. “We’re going to
need a lot of pitching. We’re
going to have to have guys come
back and pitch multiple innings.
If it’s this hot still we might be
exhausted.”
With only three games
played heading into the third
week of the season, the players are still getting to know one
another while many opponents
have already gelled. In comparison, Post 184-P was playing in its
seventh game on Sunday.

Post 175’s Conner Hall made a body-sacrificing play by coming
up with a diving stop on a ball hit to third.
Playing in Mechanicsville’s
favor is the fact that the players on hand are not lacking in
talent and the equally shorthanded Post 184-P squad was
out-matched from the onset,
offering little challenge after the
initial innings.

“Jordan looked extremely
good,” Gates said. “He pitched
extremely well today.”
“I pitched a lot of fastballs,”
Boze said. “I think I ended up
throwing 10 curveballs the whole
day. I felt good all week.”
Post 175 also got a huge
defensive boost from the outstanding sacrifice-your-body
play of Conner Hall at third.
“Both rings underwent
a complete renovation over
the winter as we continue to
strive to offer the best footing
possible. We are deeply grateful to our many contributors
who generously donated to our
Ring Renovation Fund Raiser
and made this work possible,”
Johnson said.
Betsy Thompkins will again
serve as chairman of this
year’s show. “She continues to keep the show on
the cutting edge of horse
show management technology, keeps our website
up to date and has made
access to our prize list
widely available on the
web,” said Johnson.
As in the past, the
show is made possible
by the dedicated support
of an energetic crew of volunteers. Johnson said they make
this event run smoothly, as well
as many other shows throughout the year.

“He’s a brute,” Gates said. “You
tell him to play back he doesn’t
want to. He wants to stay up,
take a ball off the chest, body,
wherever.”
Boze only lapse of the day
came on a seventh inning outside fastball that he pulled a
little bit, allowing 184-P’s Tyler
Burnette to send it out of the
park for his team’s only run of
the contest.
On the mound, Burnette was
no match for the Mechanicsville
bats and Post 175 was only
limited by their own running
miscues. On the day the team
was picked off four times in an
attempt to steal second.
“We need to look at the situations, who’s come to bat, play
a little smarter in that aspect,”
Gates said. “If there was one
downfall it was the missing of
signals and getting caught stealing at second.”
In the bottom of the first,
Mechanicsville put three runners on base, two were caught on
steals and the third on a forceout at second.
Post 175 got on the board in
the bottom of the second when
Boze led off with a single to
right, Conner Hall was walked
and Travis Tyree singled to center, loading the bases.
A sacrifice to left from Jack
Edwards brought home Boze
and followed by the same from
Patrick Holler to plate Hall for
a 2-0 lead.
Mechanicsville added two
more in the bottom of the fourth
when a double down the third
base line from Daniel Burroughs
drove in Hall and Edwards.
Angus reached via walk in
the fifth, stole second then third
on a wild throw. A walk of Will
Connerley put runners at the
corners and a double to left cen-

The show opens daily at 8

to come watch, eat, shop and

With 184-P reliever Brendan

Edwards and brought Angus to
the plate.
Thomas then made a prediction. “When Michael Thomas
got on first base he said,
‘Brandon’s going to hit a grand

Gates said.
Angus proved him correct.

O
n behalf of the Hanover County School Board, it is my true honor to welcome you to
the 2011 Commencement Services and to congratulate the fine graduates we are assembled to honor.
As you may be aware, today marks the last day I will have this opportunity to greet Hanover’s graduates as the superintendent of schools.
So, in speaking of being truly honored to be here, it is also my tremendous privilege to
introduce to all of you my successor, Hanover’s twelfth Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Jamelle
S. Wilson.
I know that everyone joins me in congratulating Dr. Wilson as the first internal candidate
to become Hanover’s superintendent in 75 years. She and the School Board will forge a partnership which is certain to move our school district to very exciting levels of performance!
So, graduates, as we see, you and I have a lot in common today. Though I have had the
opportunity during my career as a superintendent to shake the hands of nearly 30,000 graduates, today is different. Today, you and I transition to new chapters in our lives. Many of us
have been with Hanover’s schools for at least 13 years and all of us are taking our experiences
accumulated here and applying them in a way which builds upon the joys of being in this
special place.
But, graduates, what we don’t have in common is that none of you has already had a 35 year
career! So, since my experiences have been pretty full already, I’m going to return to my roots
for a few moments- my roots as teacher. And I’m going to ask you to imagine that you are in
elementary school one last time.
Though I may not resemble today any elementary teacher you may ever remember, if I
could, I would ask you to gather round in a circle and let me read this book to you. Of course,
that’s logistically impossible, but this book, Yay, You! is one that has a lesson for all of us in this
room regardless of where we’re sitting, and regardless of where we are on life’s journey. It
speaks to all of us who are going through a transition, whether we are a graduate or an adult.
Yay, You!- Moving Out, Moving Up, Moving On

2011 Graduation Remarks
Now, what will you do?
There are so many choices.
The world is immense.
Take a good look around
And decide what makes sense.
Some like to go fast.
Some like to go slow
Some like to get going however they go.
Some strive to be peaceful, and joyful, and wise.
Some choose to just ponder the size of their thighs.
So look north!
And look south!
Look ahead!
Look behind!
Stare into the mirror.
Now. What do you find?
Should you live where it’s cold?
Should you live where it’s hot?
Do you want to be terribly busy?
Or not?
Do you needs lots of friends, or only a few?
You already have wit.
You already have style.
You have very kind eyes and a dazzling smile.
But now…
But now…
But now…
But NOW…
Hey!
What’s the hurry, anyhow?
There are PLACES TO GET TO!
And PROJECTS TO DO!
PEOPLE TO TALK WITH, and LUNCHES TO CHEW!
But stopping a while is okay, too.
And whatever you doNow or later,
Big or small,
Loud or quiet--Whatever you do,
Don’t worry.
Just try it.
Whatever you do,
Whether near or so far,
I know you’ll be great.
You already are!
Would you like to have friends with a new point of view?
Or does art move your soul?
Graduates, it is my true honor to be with you today and to
congratulate you as you come across the stage. I wish for you
and for all assembled the happiest, healthiest, and most
prosperous futures possible.
Do you listen to rivers, or to great rock and roll?
Thank you!
Is your mind moved by science?
Do you long for adventure?
Do you love to read maps?
Would you rather stay home with your chocolate, perhaps?
