With Hanover County Public Schools preparing for a Sept. 7 start to the 2010-2011 year, the superintendent told the Hanover County School Board last week that “the federal direction is becoming increasingly fuzzy and frustrating.” Stewart D. Roberson said the Virginia Board of Education’s accountability system is among the nation’s earliest to be created and continues to be viewed as one of the nation’s most rigorous. For the ninth consecutive

year, he said Hanover County can expect to have 100 percent of its schools meeting the state’s highest standards. “By contrast, while the goals of the No Child Left Behind Act remain bold, noble and worthwhile, and have resulted in millions of dollars targeted investment locally, the federal direction is becoming increasingly fuzzy and frustrating,” he said. Due to the lack of action

By Melody Kinser mkinser@mechlocal.com Two weeks after the 2010-2011 term begins on Sept. 7, Hanover County Public Schools will begin work on the 2011-2012 operating budget. Michael E. Thornton, assistant superintendent, business and operations, reviewed dates with the Hanover County School Board during the Aug. 10 regular meeting. He said the calendar mirrors the schedule followed during the last budget process. He also said the dates accommodate the establishment of a county funding target after the first of the year while meeting the desired School Board approval by the end of January. The calendar, as recommended by superintendent Stewart D. Roberson and approved by the School Board, includes the following dates: ✏ Sept. 24 — Pre-budget School Board work session/planning meeting to review the preliminary revenue and develop preliminary budget goals. ✏ Sept. 29 — Distribute proposed budget goals to the community. ✏ Oct. 12 — Pre-budget public hearing and adoption of budget goals. ✏ Dec. 7 — Capital Improvements budget presented. ✏ Jan. 11 — Superintendent’s budget presented. ✏ Jan. 18 — School Board work session and public hearing. ✏ Jan. 20 — School Board work session. ✏ Jan. 25 — School Board work ses-
sion and budget adoption. ✏ Jan. 25 — Capital Improvements budget approved. ✏ Jan. 28 — School budget forwarded to the county administrator. Tentative dates on the county government level include: ✏ Feb. 23 — County administrator’s budget presentation. ✏ March 9 — School budget discussion with Hanover County Board of Supervisors. ✏ March 30 — County budget public hearing. ✏ April 13 — Final budget adoption and appropriation. Jamelle Wilson, assistant superintendent for instructional leadership, told the School Board that the AdvancED District Accreditation team will visit Oct. 4-6. Charla S. Cordle, assistant superintendent of human resources, announced the 2010 Opening Convocation will get under way at 9:30 a.m. on Monday, Aug. 30, at Hanover High School. The program, she said, will “bring all employees together at one time.” The theme is “Hanover’s Got Talent.” In recognitions, the School Board honored: ❍ Robert Stratton, athletic and activities director at Hanover High School, elected president of the Virginia Interscholastic Athletic Administrators Association, which represents 324 high schools in the state. He said he serves as a liaison between high schools and athletic administrators.

Superintendent: district ‘must never grow complacent’ Even though a 100 percent success rate is expected for Hanover County Public Schools in Standards of Learning for the ninth consecutive year, the superintendent said last week “that we must never grow complacent.” “The Virginia Standards of Accreditation/Standards of Learning continue to be viewed as the nation’s most rigorous,” Stewart D. Roberson said on Thursday. “The goals of NCLB (No Child Left Behind) remain bold, noble and worthwhile and have resulted in millions of dollars of appropriate investment locally.” “A success rate of 100 percent for nine consecutive years on our SOL measures and 99.1 percent attainment of the AYP (Adequate Yearly

We continue to remain keenly focused upon the most effective means to continuously improve,” he added.

OPINION | The Local Views From the editor
Victim’s daughter joins in search for answers Desarae Wayne was a child when her mother left suddenly. Her departure left a void that has never been filled. And these days questions swirl through her thoughts. Her mother, Theresa Baker, was spotlighted in our second Cold Cases series with the Hanover County Sheriff ’s Office. The year was 1985 when a young mother and her three children were settling into a new life in the Midlothian area of Chesterfield County. About two months later, their lives were forever changed when Theresa fell victim to a killer. The 24-year-old went missing on Sept. 20, with her remains not being found until Feb. 8, 1986, in Mechanicsville. According to the article, which appeared in our April 21 edition, Theresa left behind two boys, ages 7 and 1, and a 3-year-old girl. “The older child was raised by relatives in Pennsylvania, while the younger two children were adopted by non-relatives.” As for their father, he was incarcerated at the time of Theresa’s death. On July 21, Desarae posted the following on Twitter: Just found this...its my birth mom...Midlothian Exchange - News: Cold Case: Who killed Theresa Baker?: http://bit.ly/a5XCaf Due to the local connection, the article had appeared in the Midlothian Exchange, a sister newspaper. After her tweet, there has been some communication, with the goal of a meeting with investigator Kevin LaPlaga. Since the children were so young when Theresa died, attempting to track them down after all these years was not an issue when the article was being developed. Today, however, that has changed. Desarae’s involvement just might serve as an incentive for someone to provide that tip that can make a difference to solving this case. Like the Sheriff ’s Office, Desarae has questions — but her stake is vastly different. She may have been young when she lost her mother, but she knows the face of that victim. Theresa Baker was mom to her. Can you help Desarae? Melody Kinser

tation based on the 2009-2010 Virginia Standards of Learning assessments. The official state accreditation report will be released in September. Thursday, the Virginia Department of Education released data indicating that on 99.1 percent of the measures, Hanover
schools met the AYP standards as defined by the federal NCLB Act. This year, 83 percent of Hanover schools (12 elementary schools; three high schools and three middle schools) made AYP, according to NCLB. To achieve AYP, 95 percent of students in each subgroup (in Virginia: all students, students with disabilities, students with limited English proficiency, economically
disadvantaged students, white students, black students and Hispanic students) must participate in the assessments. Each subgroup must meet the Annual Measurable Objective (AMO) in math and reading, which, for this year, are 79 and 81, respectively. Under the current law, these AMOs increase each year until they reach 100 percent in 2013-14.
4-H club to focus on outdoor living Starting in October, a new 4-H club focused on the great outdoors will meet in Ashland. For youth ages 9 to 18, the members will learn outdoor living skills, participate in the wildlife habitat evaluation program (WHEP), enhance their communication skills, and practice “leave no trace” principles when visiting natural areas.
Activities will include hiking, camping, outdoor cooking, field trips and community service. In addition, members enjoy making new friends, taking leadership roles, and participating in many 4-H camps and opportunities. For more information, contact 4-H leader Susan Nepomuceno at 227-3731.

and hopes to be to be a filmmaker. This fall, Norris will attend New York University to study film. His dream is to turn fictional stories into feature-length films in the style of the directors he admires most: Stanley Kubrick, David Lynch, Christopher Nolan, Darren Aronofsky and Francois Truffaut. In other words, he’d like to tell stories that explore the darker side of life. “I get angry at directors for an ending that’s not satisfying. I enjoy happy endings, but they’re not always honest. I guess I enjoy real world stories,� Norris said. He hasn’t always wanted to make films, and isn’t sure when he realized his calling. In elementary and middle school, he was recognized primarily for his mathematical gifts, not necessarily for his artistic talents. By the time he was 16 he’d found his passion for film, and was surprised to learn that not everyone viewed him as the math kid anymore. Norris first demonstrated an inclination for filmmaking while working on a history project at Chickahominy Middle School. His group presented its project in a broadcast news format, which was filmed by teacher Julie Sions. Most groups completed their presentations in about 10 minutes. Norris’ group, under his direction, took nearly an hour. On reflection, Norris said the presentation wasn’t especially long, but extra time was needed to stage the performance and cut away to other scenes. “I directed and it took way
too long,� he conceded. But he enjoyed the experience, and when he finally wrapped the project, Sions suggested he might consider directing movies. “Looking back, the words didn’t really stick in my head,� he said. By his freshman year, he was exploring filmmaking. The summer before his sophomore year, he attended a New York Film Academy filmmaking camp at Harvard University. This is when he shot his first short film, Next Day. Norris said he doesn’t care for his directorial debut, and even appears a little embarrassed by it. He said there were a lot of “angsty teenagers� at camp, and he said he may have been influenced by all the emotion swirling around him. “I was trying to do something emotional. When you’re young, you think emotional is dark – that it’s the only way to be emotional.� The next summer, Norris attended a camp at the School of Cinema and Performing Arts in New York, where he directed Eyes and Ears. This time he felt more confident about his ability to tell a story, and is pleased with the final result. Norris has completed five short films. While the themes differ, the films share a commonality: eclectic soundtracks. Soundtracks are especially important to Norris, who is a self-taught musician and plays the ukulele, banjo, bass, guitar and the didgeridoo – an aboriginal wind instrument, the oldest one in existence. It’s best described as a four-foot-long drone into which the musician blows. It’s featured in Outback Steakhouse commercials, and you might hear it when roaming the halls of MLW, where Norris
discovered another didgeridooplaying student. Together they started a didgeridoo club, persuaded five other students to join, and began having regular jam sessions. At MLW, Norris could have completed two film classes his senior year, but knowing he’d take similar courses in college he opted to take Music Composition and Recording. His group recorded a CD of what he describes as “jamming rock, blues, and minimalist music.� Besides singing vocals on four songs, writing one song and helping write others, Norris designed the album cover and album art, recorded and mixed some of the music, and mastered the whole album. This experience is significant, as Norris would like to compose music for his own movies someday. His taste tends to eclectic, indie rock, but he’s not limited by genre when selecting music for a soundtrack. In Next Day, Norris featured Beirut’s “The Gulag Orkestar� and “Elephant Gun,� songs with a Balkan sound and an unusual array of instruments, including an accordion and a ukulele. In one short six-minute film, the music swings from a melodic waltz-like wistfulness to a funeral dirge. The soundtrack for Eyes and Ears features hip hop music by A Tribe Called Quest, Nujabes and Grizzly Bear. When considering where to pursue his university studies, Norris sought broad-based programs that would teach him all aspects of filmmaking, and would allow him to create his own films rather than work on someone else’s films. He was accepted at UCLA,
Northwestern, VCU and NYU. He visited all the schools and narrowed his top choices to Northwestern and NYU. “I loved Northwestern’s program, but it came down to being in a city. I love the energy of the city.� This fall, Norris matriculates at Tisch School for the Arts at New York University. That desire to be part of a vibrant city brings Norris back to the Virginia film industry tax credit. He loves Richmond, and notes that Virginia has great locations for filming, but provides few financial incentives for film makers. He said he doesn’t worry about how the incentives might affect the state’s coffers, pointing out that if films are shot here, local talent will be hired and local resources will be used. He then tells the story of Richard Kelly, a director from Midlothian who has become well-known through his films Donnie Darko and The Box. The Box’s story is set in Richmond, but wasn’t filmed here as it was more economical to shoot in Boston. Norris also said that Stanley Kubrick used a panning shot of Broad Street in Lolita, though the rest of the film wasn’t shot locally. “Richmond has a great vibe,� Norris said. “It’s small, but has great personality.� He said he can’t wait to use the city as backdrop to his films. Neither can Richmond. Just don’t expect many “angsty� teenagers or happy endings. His short films can be seen at www.vimeo.com. Norris is the son of Mark and Blair Guncheon of Mechanicsville.

Garden club donates floral arrangements
Mechanicsville welcomes Fresh Air Fund participants
Elizabeth Farina for The Local

How would you feel if you answered your door one day to receive a lovely fresh flower arrangement made especially for you? Meals on Wheels (MOW) recipients know the answer to that question because on Wednesday, July 14, in addition to receiving their meals, they received a bud vase of fresh flowers compliments of the Hanover Towne Garden Club. This is the second year that Hanover Towne Garden Club has made fresh flower arrangements during the summer for MOW recipients in the Central Virginia area. The designs in the bud vases were created primarily using plant material donated from garden club members supplemented with a few florist flowers. The bud vases created were not only lovely, but unique and different. One member said they reminded her of wildflower bouquets from her childhood, whimsical and charming. In its own unique way, the Hanover Towne Garden Club helped to brighten a lot of people’s day (and week) in our community.

Hanover top digital county? I’m writing in response to this article in the Aug. 4 edition of The Mechanicsville Local. This past May I moved from Chester to Mechanicsville (the Black Creek area of Hanover). I enjoyed Chester as it was a small, quieter portion of Chesterfield but still within short distances to the interstates and malls. I had choices of broadband Internet access from Comcast, Verizon and others. My Verizon DSL service
was inexpensive at only $14 per month. I was excited about moving out of a subdivision onto 6.6 acres in Hanover where it was more rural but still somewhat close to the interstates. Once I moved in I was shocked to discover that hardwired broadband Internet was not available. As I am in the Information Technology field high speed access is a requirement for my work. I discovered that the only options were satellite or Verizon wireless. Satellite was not an option for me as it will not allow me to connect into my employer’s network so my only choice was the Verizon wireless package for $59 per month. Unfortunately, I am on the fringe of the coverage area as my signal strength is marginal and connection speeds are
poor. Watching videos or listening to music is not possible. My son is unable to do any school research that requires large downloads. And I am limited as to how much work I can actually do from home while connected each month. So basically I went from excellent $14/month service in Chester to poor $59/month service in Hanover. I am surprised that Hanover is this far behind Chesterfield on the technical curve for providing broadband Internet access to homeowners, and even more surprised after reading the article that was touting how well the county departments have used technology to provide better services for them themselves and for homeowners.

Sixteen Chick-fil-A restaurants, including the Mechanicsville location, will host a Fill-the-Boot fundraiser on Friday, Aug. 20, in partnership with the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) to support the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA). Between the hours of 10:30 a.m. and 8 p.m., firefighters and emergency medical services personnel can eat free at the 7285 Battle Drive Chick-fil-A. Firefighters will be on-site from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and 5 to 8 p.m. Each year firefighters across Central Virginia participate in IAFF’s Fill-theBoot fundraising campaign to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association. This year Chick-fil-A has partnered
with firefighters in the Central Virginia area to help raise funds for MDA. Firefighters will be located at Chick-filA restaurants at varying times throughout the fundraising day to encourage visitors to donate and fill a firefighter’s boot with money. The Chick-fil-A “Eat Mor Chikin” Cow and firefighters will show support in firefighter uniforms and gear. Children and families will get a chance to meet firefighters and take a close look at an on-site fire truck. Other activities include a sampling of the new Chick-fil-A Spicy Chicken Sandwich and Chick-filA Lemonade in celebration of National Lemonade Day. All firefighters and EMS who arrive in
uniform between 10:30 a.m. and 8 p.m. will receive a free Chick Fil-A Spicy Chicken Sandwich. Additional activities may vary at each Richmond Chick-fil-A location. ----IAFF and “Fill the Boot” Campaign The International Association of Fire Fighters commits to raise money for the Muscular Dystrophy Association each year. The IAFF’s annual Fill-the-Boot fundraiser in support of MDA will run this year during the month of August and through Labor Day weekend. Committed to the eradication of neuromuscular diseases, the IAFF has been a friend and supporter of MDA through the Fill-the-Boot campaign since 1954.

eowners without broadband access cannot take advantage of this technology. I have to ask why aren’t the cable and Internet companies held to the same service requirements as the phone and electric companies who must provide service to every home regardless of where it’s located. I checked with Comcast and their wires stop about one mile from my house, and Verizon did not have a reason why DSL is not available at my address. In 2009 the federal government appropriated $7.2 billion in loans and grants for broadband infrastructure projects in rural areas via its Broadband Initiatives Program (BIP). Did Hanover partake in this program? I wrote a letter to Supervisor Elton Wade in September 2009 asking whether he knew of any plans to expand broadband in the county. He never replied.

umn in the Aug. 4 issue of The Mechanicsville Local. I have to say “Pretty soon . . . wake up!” was well noted and I see this person’s point of view; however, it seems a little extreme and presumptious. I work in healthcare, I see what the policies we have in place now, and how they are not working. Yes, there needs to be change, but in no way, shape or form will this come to “slavery”. I quote “this current government will have total control of your health and well being; this current government will regulate what you can cannot eat” . . . It will never get to that extreme; however, public health is always an issue! And, yes, they should educate and inform us, as citizens, what is best for us. More than a quarter of this country is obese, we have the highest obesity rate in the world. Maybe someone should be telling us what to eat, we are
obviously not doing that well on our own. Our country lives off of Starbucks and McDonald’s. And, yes, the government should be regulating food manufacturers, retail grocery and pharmacies. Would you shop there if they didn’t? I’m not disagreeing or saying that your concerns aren’t valid; however, the problem with this country is that everything has to be to an extreme. The point of change is that if it doesn’t work, 20 years later it can be adjusted, corrected or overhauled . . . because what we are doing now is obviously not working! Heather L.

From Bad to Worse
noted that I have written about this 19 times over the past five years! Some would say I am beating a dead horse! But I say, I am beating a drum and sounding a trumpet! I want to wake up the sleepers out there who are oblivious to the coming events that are about to overtake the world like a thief in the night. I believe this confrontation will happen - and when it does, it may very well bring about unpredictable consequences, which like rapidly falling dominoes, will propel the world towards the coming of the anti-Christ and the second coming of Christ. I read a very interesting article this week in the Atlantic magazine entitled “The Point Of No Return” about the probability of this coming conflict. I do not have space to reprint it, but for those of you who are awake enough to care about such things you can read it here: http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/print/2010/09/the-pointof-no-return/8186/ erhaps nothing in this article was more profound than the recent words of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s father, Ben-Zion Netanyahu on the occasion of his 100th birthday. (Think for a moment about what this Jewish centenarian has witnessed in his lifetime!) Ben-Zion is a noted historian and the father of both the current Prime Minister and another son who died in a fire-fight while freeing the Jewish hostages during the 1978 “Raid on Entebbe.” Here is a portion of his remarks that night: “Our party this evening compels me to speak of recent comments made about the continued existence of the nation of Israel and the new threats by its enemies depicting its upcoming destruction. From the Iranian side, we hear pledges that soon—in a matter of days, even—the Zionist movement will be put to an end and there will be no more Zionists in the world. One is supposed to conclude from this that the Jews of the Land of Israel will be annihilated, while the Jews of America, whose leaders refuse to pressure Iran, are being fed a lie - that the annihilation of the Jews will not include them! The Jewish people are making their position clear and putting faith in their military power. The nation of Israel is showing the world today how a state should behave when it stands before an existential threat: by looking danger in the eye and calmly considering what should be done and what can be done. And to be ready to enter the fray at the moment there is a reasonable chance of success.” ow read these words spoken by Iranian President Ahmadinejad about a month ago: “Sixty years ago, by means of an artificial and false pretext, and by fabricating information and inventing stories, they gathered the filthiest, most criminal people, who only appear to be human, from all corners of the world. They organized and armed them, and provided them with media and military backing. Thus, they occupied the Palestinian lands, and displaced the Palestinian people.” The “invented story” is, of course, the Holocaust. Ahmadinejad’s efforts to deny the historical truth of the Holocaust reflect the official position of the Iranian government. Iranian foreign minister, Mottaki said in 2005, “The words of Ahmadinejad on the Holocaust and on Israel are not personal opinion, nor isolated statements, but they express the view of the government.” The Iranian leadership’s own view of nuclear war is perhaps best exemplified by a comment made in 2001 by the former Iranian president Rafsanjani, who entertained the idea that Israel’s demise could be brought about in a relatively pain-free manner for the Muslim world. “The use of an atomic bomb against Israel would destroy Israel completely while a nuclear attack against the Islamic countries would only cause damages.” This is the thinking that has the Israeli government on a knife’s edge. ollowing his father’s birthday speech, Prime Minister Netanyahu was asked to comment on the Iranian threat, “Iran has threatened to annihilate a state. In historical terms, this is an astounding thing. It’s a monumental outrage that goes effectively unchallenged in the court of public opinion. Sure, there is perfunctory condemnation, but there is no shock.” And then, as if he were channeling is father’s historian persona, he warned, “A crucial lesson of history is that bad things tend to get worse if they are not challenged.” riends, his words are true, whether you are talking about a deathcult dictator like Ahmadinejad, bad policy right here in America, or our own personal sin. Chew on that for a while.

By Nick Aunspach Special to The Local After nearly 18 months of planning, the contingents of the Boy Scouts of America Heart of Virginia Council gathered at the Cub Adventure Camp in Goochland to travel to Fort A.P. Hill and the National BSA 2010 Jamboree. There were nine separate troops in the contingent. Each troop consisted of four adult leaders and up to 36 scouts. Many of these of these scouts were from troops in the Mechanicsville and Hanover area. After having the personal belongings of each scout checked in, the scouts loaded the charter buses for the hour trip to A.P. Hill. The scouts had loaded the entire troop’s gear the night before – tents, cooking materials, chuck boxes, etc. Amid farewells and good wishes from family and friends, the scouts mobilized to the adventure of a lifetime. Upon arrival, the troops piled their personal gear off to the side to get down to the business of setting their camp or community. There were 21 sub-camps divided among four geographic regions. The Heart of Virginia Council was in Sub-camp 17 in the Southern Region. When the equipment truck arrived, the scouts unloaded all the gear and set to work setting up the tents and the gateway – the entrance to a campsite designed to reflect the unique character of that troop. Then it was off to set up the four dining/cooking areas. As usual, once the troop’s

26th Fire Academy class graduates Fire/EMS volunteerism is alive and well in Hanover County. A large and talented 26th Hanover Fire Academy Training class graduated on Wednesday, Aug. 11, in a ceremony at Hanover High School. Twenty-one recruits graduated after completing about 300 hours of training and now are members of the Fire/EMS “brotherhood and sisterhood.” These recruits have earned the Commonwealth of Virginia’s Firefighter I and II certifications. The valedictorian of the 26th class was Brian Grimes of Company 7 (Mechanicsville). He finished with a grade point average of 94.5. Alex Carter of Company 7 was recognized as an honor graduate. Also graduating were: Ian Barber, Steven Coker, Erik Colley, Ben Jamison, Diana May, Andrew Walton and J.

Conger Kennedy of Company 10 (Chickahominy); and Josh Davidson of Company 11 (Farrington). The Fire Academy curriculum represents 15 weeks of technical and leadership studies combined with physically demanding and rigorous hands-on exercises. Firefighter I and II certifications allow firefighters to respond to emergency calls and engage fire suppression activity. This level of training is among the basic requirements for firefighters, volunteer or career, in the Commonwealth.
quartermasters of each troop. The first the meal was, let’s say, a learning experience for all the patrols. After dinner, the first of many corn-hole competitions was held. This involved tossing bean bags at a board with a hole in it. Throughout the week, this often became very cut-throat! While a tournament was tried, the comings and goings of all the scouts made this almost impossible.
Aubrey W. “Buddy” Hyde Jr., program director of Fire Science Technology and Emergency Medical Services for Southside Virginia Community College and a 27year fire volunteer who also is emergency management coordinator for Brunswick County, was the ceremony’s keynote speaker. He urged the graduates to continue training throughout their careers. Certificates were presented to the graduates by Jethro Piland, division chief, training. Judson Flournoy, division chief, fire marshal’s office, administered the Firefighter’s Oath. Hanover Fire-EMS is a combination system of volunteer and career personnel. Dedicated volunteers are needed and welcomed. For information on how to join and serve, call Cris Leonard, volunteer membership coordinator, at 365-6195.
As darkness fell and the stars came out, the talk turned to plans for the next day. The adult leaders helped by offering suggestions of all the many activities and helping the scouts plan their way around. It was a five-mile walk to the heart of the Jamboree but there were many activities within two to three miles of camp. With taps playing over the public address system, the scouts drifted to their tents and settled in for the first night.
Chickahominy Middle hosting Open House Chickahominy Middle School will be hosting an Open House, which will include schedule pick-ups and payment of fees. Principal Debbie L.

SC&L completes acquisition Specialty Coating & Laminating LLC (SC&L) has completed the acquisition of substantially all of the real estate and production equipment of Covalence Specialty Coatings LLC’s (Covalence) manufacturing facility in Doswell. SC&L, founded by the Richmondbased investment banking firm Smither & Company and led by chief executive officer Geoff Baldwin, is a manufacturer of poly extrusion and aqueous coated paper and paperboard products, primarily for the flexible packaging, food-service and paper industries. Products produced by SC&L include poly-laminated roll wrap, functional coatings on paperboard such as oil and grease resistance, water resistance or anti-skid, extrusion coatings and laminates, coated
woven and non-woven synthetic reinforcements, and many other flexible packaging and food service packaging products. The asset acquisition has directly resulted in saving 30 jobs in Hanover County while preserving the ongoing manufacturing operation and resultant tax base for Hanover County. Specialty Coating & Laminating’s manufacturing facilities total in excess of 250,000 square feet over 18 acres. With a unique set of manufacturing capabilities and an experienced management team and employee base that includes many former employees of the Covalence facility, SC&L is able to provide high performance products and outstanding service at competitive costs. SC&L is one of the only facilities in
the world that has both extrusion coating and laminating and aqueous coating in one plant. This fact, combined with the ability to process extra wide (up to 136-inch) product widths, makes SC&L uniquely suited to handle many projects that would normally require more than one manufacturer. The new company also has a heavy emphasis on product development and technical support, with an experienced management team with proven success in product innovation. SC&L also will receive workforce training services from the Virginia Department of Business Assistance’s Virginia Jobs and Investment Program. For more information on SC&L, visit www.specoat.com.

‘After Easter’ performances scheduled Aug. 19-21 Anne Devlin’s “After Easter” will be presented Thursday through Saturday, Aug. 19-21, by The Ville Players at the former St. Ann’s Church at RandolphMacon College on the corner of Henry and England Streets in Ashland. Curtain is at 7:30 p.m. each evening. Taking place amidst “The Troubles,” a time of political and religious unrest in Ireland, “After Easter” depicts the quandary of an Irish family that is detached from tradition and struggling to regain its identity. The play is driven by the tortured religious visions of the oldest daughter, Greta, who has forsaken both her country and her faith. The lines between sane and insane, sacred and secular, and Irish and English are blurred in this poignant but ultimately hopeful tale. Beginning several days before Easter in 1994, the story concludes soon after Easter, humorously relating several events of religious significance, as well as a family tragedy. The cast of the show includes Rebekah Carrow, James Murray, Gemma Smith, Tonya Pleasants, Patricia White, Pam Beatty, Sean

Hanover County Public Schools has announced its policy for providing free or reduced price meals for children served under the National School Lunch, and/or School Breakfast Programs. Each school and/or central school nutrition office has a copy of the policy, which may be reviewed by any interested party. Household size and income will be used to determine eligibility for free or reduced price meal benefits. Children from households whose income is at or below the Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines may be eligible for either free or reduced price meals. Children who are members of households receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits (formerly the Food Stamp Program) or who receive Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) may be automatically eligible for free meals. Children who are homeless, migrant or runaway also may be automatically eligible for free meals. Foster children, who are the legal responsibility of a welfare agency or court, may be eligible for benefits regardless of the income of the household with whom they reside. Eligibility for
the foster child is based on the child’s income. Children who are members of households participating in WIC may also be eligible for free or reduced-price meals based on the household’s income. Application forms are being distributed to all households with a letter informing households of the availability of free or reduced price meals for their children. Applications also are available at the principal’s office in each school and at the central office. To apply for free or reduced price meals, households must only fill out one application per household and return it to the school division. Applications may be submitted at any time during the school year. The information households provide on the application will be used for determining eligibility and verification of data. Applications may be verified at any time during the school year by school or other program officials. For school officials to determine eligibility for free or reduced price benefits, households receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits (formerly the Food Stamp Program) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) only

have to list their child(ren)’s name and SNAP or TANF case number and an adult household member must sign the application. Households who do not list a SNAP or TANF case number, including WIC households, must list the names of all household members, the amount and frequency of the income received by each household member and the social security number of the adult household member who signs the application. If the household member does not have a social security number, the household member must indicate that a social security number is not available. The application must be signed by an adult household member in order to be approved. Under the provisions of the free and reduced price meal policy, food service department supervisors will review applications and determine eligibility. An application for free or reduced price meals cannot be approved unless it is complete. Households dissatisfied with the ruling of the eligibility determining official may wish to discuss the decision with the official on an informal basis. Households wishing to make a formal appeal for a hearing on the decision may make a request either verbally or in writing to:
Meadow Elementary School; Marjorie Bourassa, sign language interpreter, Liberty Middle School; Robert Stroud, HVAC mechanic, Maintenance Department; Dale Theakston, communications specialist, Central Services; Romaine Morgan, special education, Atlee High School; Ellen Frackelton, grade 1, Elmont Elementary School; Ann Ramage, mathematics, Hanover High School; Micheline Plaskett, library media specialist, John M.

Michael Thornton, assistant superintendent of business and operations, at 365-4500. Households may apply for free or reduced price meals at any time during the school year. If a household is not eligible now but has a change, such as a decrease in household income, an increase in household size, becomes unemployed or qualifies for SNAP or TANF, the household should contact the school for an application. Such changes may make the children of the household eligible for benefits if the household’s income falls at or below the Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines. Households that receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits (formerly the Food Stamp Program) or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) may not have to complete an application for free or reduced price student meals. School officials will determine eligibility for free meals based on documentation, obtained directly from the Virginia Department of Social Services, that a child is a member of a household currently receiving SNAP or is receiving TANF. School officials will notify these households of their eligibility.

goal we are to shoot for regarding student performance in the 2010-2011 school year.” The hope would be “that direction will come before teachers begin their work on Aug. 30 in much of the state.” With “many school dis-
avoid the sanctions imposed by the federal government,” Roberson continued, “every day counts in our efforts to be best prepared.” With no direction, he said, “great progress can give way to floundering and we can expect the federal government to continue imposing negative sanctions upon schools even as there are no current year’s goals established. Taxpayers, families, educators and America’s children need clarity as soon as possible as more personal, professional and financial investments are being readied to take our schools to the next level.” In closing, Roberson said his comments were appropriate since the new school year is “just around the corner.” He also said he had never prepared for a term without having prior knowledge of the accountability system. School Board chairman John F. Axselle III agreed, saying, it is “hard to plan when you don’t know what your ultimate goal is.”

by the U.S. Congress, Roberson said local school districts “do not yet know which federal education accountability policy we are expected to anticipate in the not so distant term – the one from the previous administration or the one proposed by the current administration.” “One is based on the continued imposition of negative sanctions upon schools, while the other is based on the recognition of efforts to improve,” he added. He said the school system is “in a suspended state, not knowing which policy or vision thereof will emerge from Congress. In the meantime, until we learn more, we will continue to pursue the original goals of NCLB because they represent existing law.” Under the existing law, Roberson said, “Virginia school districts do not yet know what

World Series Bound
Mechanicsville makes their pitch By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com Nearly a month ago the Mechanicsville National Juniors baseball team started dreaming. Prior the start of the District V playoffs, the players speculated on whether or not they had the talent to eventually play for a World Series title on national television. Nationals’ manager Steve Lam said his talented group of athletes wondered how good they really were. “Is it possible to get to that championship game on ESPN2?” he said they asked themselves. This weekend the team travels to the Junior League World Series in Taylor, Michigan, a mere five games from finding their answer. “It’s one of those things, you think about it and it feels too far to grab,” said pitcher Josh Lam. “But then you come back and we’re right here.” But Steve Lam does not feel that now being so close to a dream will add pressure. “We accomplished everything we hoped for and probably more,” he said. “Anything we do from here is icing on the cake. However, with that said, the kids are focused, confident in their baseball ability and they’re going down there to win.” And winning is something that the team has proven pro-

ficient at. After breezing through practically every opponent on the district and state level, Mechanicsville expected a tougher road at last week’s Southeast Regionals in Greenville, SC and that was just what they got. In their first two games, the 13-14 year olds found themselves in early holes. A struggle on the mound allowed Tennessee to run out to a 5-0 lead in their opener. Likewise, in their second game West Virginia pulled ahead 4-0. But trailing for the first time since the District V champi-

onship game against Tuckahoe American, Lam felt his players showed poise and maturity; something that will help them in World Series play. “In those games against Tennessee and West Virginia the kids didn’t hang their heads,” Lam said. “They kept battling. We have a lot of confidence in our hitting. We just kept chipping away.” Mechanicsville bounced back to pull out a 10-7 win over Tennessee and defeated West Virginia 6-4. However, the outcomes did change Lam’s strategy. Because of pitch-count limitations, he
had planned to staff the opening games but when his normal starters struggled he was forced to adapt. Instead of staffing he threw Josh Lam more than he wanted against Tennessee, forcing a day’s rest. Then with 96 pitches against West Virginia, Matthew Corley was burnt for the tournament. Therefore Lam turned to Cody Powers to take the mound against Florida. In what Lam described as “the most intense game we played bar-none,” Powers threw a gem and gave Mechanicsville a 5-1 win to finish pool play undefeated. Mechanicsville went back to

For Juniors, it’s about respecting the game By Charlie Leffler cleffler@mechlocal.com The Mechanicsville National baseball team is looking for respect. However, unlike athletes throughout the ages, these 1314 year olds are not looking for the self-edification garnered in the respect that is given them. Instead Mechanicsville has a driven desire to make sure there is respect given to the game they play. From his initial contact with his team, Manager Steve Lam engrained a theme of respect into his 13 players. “I’m a big Ripken guy,” Lam said. “He was kind of my idol and Ripken always said respect the game of baseball. That’s something his dad taught and that’s something we try to teach our kids. Have a lot of respect for the game of baseball.” And it is through the respect they have shown the game that Mechanicsville has earned the respect of their peers and opponents. So much so that wherever they play they find a following. After taking the championship in District V, parents and coaches of opposing teams voiced their praise of Mechanicsville on a local inter-

net site. “The most impressive thing about this team is how humble they were,” wrote Robert Scott, the parent of a Chamberlayne player. “Great sportsmanship. They were serious about the game.” That respect carried on into the Virginia State tournament where a group of umpires who had officiated Mechanicsville games throughout the regular season, stepped aside from their neutrality and traveled to Lower Loudon to act as fans of the team. The team entered the Southeast Regional with no
different attitude. However, it was in Greensville, SC that Mechanicsville came up against the greatest challenge to their beliefs; coming face to face with their mirror opposite in a matchup with Florida. “We’re all about respecting the game and trying to do things the right way,” Lam said. “Well, that was a squad and a coaching staff that certainly did not believe in that.” Lam said the clash in beliefs began a day before the teams even played. Waiting to take the field against West Virginia, Lam watched a Florida team that displayed little discipline in
their game against Tennessee. From turning base hits into high-stepping exhibitions, to flexing muscles on an infield putout, the team grated against everything he had taught his players. But then it got worse. After losing to Tennessee, Lam said the Florida players quickly turned their attention towards his team. “After they had gotten beat by Tennessee they looked at our kids and said, ‘Ah, look at them in their little war-paint,” because our kids to the eyeblack.” The Mechanicsville players ignored the Florida comments
which led to more taunts. “They made the comment that they were going to knock that ‘I don’t give a crap look off our face’,” Lam said. Rather than being upset by the taunts, the Mechanicsville players were offended by Florida’s lack of respect for the game. “That’s not how you play baseball,” said centerfielder Haiden Lamb. Josh Lam agreed. “They were cocky and couldn’t live up to it,” he said. “They just couldn’t accept defeat.” Facing the antithesis of his beliefs, Lam gave instructions to his team. “We told our kids we’re not going to say a thing,” he said. “You’re going to play with your gloves, your bats and your arms.” As a result, there was a definite tension in the air when the two teams took to the field the following day. “It was the most intense game we played bar none,” he said, noting that his team learned from the experience. “I think that game did us a world of good.” Mechanicsville held the talented Florida team in check, winning 5-1. “I think they were stunned,” Lam said. “I don’t think Florida thought that there
was any way they were going to lose to Virginia.” The Mechanicsville players did not particularly want the win for themselves as much as they did not want the group of Florida kids advancing to the World Series as a representative of all Southeast Regional teams. “I’m just glad they didn’t make it,” said catcher Adam Boyle. Following their regional championship win, Steve Lam said South Carolina District 7 director Steven Johnson called the Mechanicsville players, coaches and parents together. “He said, ‘Coach, I want to tell you one thing, and I’m speaking to all of the parents and the kids. You should be proud of the way your kids handled themselves. They were the most popular team here’.” While at the Junior League World Series in Taylor, Michigan there are no worries about how the team will represent the ever growing number of people who back them. As ambassadors of Mechanicsville, Virginia, the Southeast Region and baseball itself, the team will certainly turn in another class performance regardless of the outcome.
Riders are saddling up for college scholarships Central Virginia equestrians find new route to degree By Dave Lawrence For The Mechanicsville Local In an era where families need all the help they can get to put their kids through school, parents of girls in Virginia’s horse country have discovered a new way to help pay for their daughters’ education – college equestrian sports.
Equestrian competition, classified by the NCAA as a women’s sport, is akin to gymnastics on horseback. Riders are evaluated on the basis of appearance—position, posture, and attire—and horsemanship. While there is little organized equestrian competition at the high school level, girls who compete on the horse show circuit, and do well, may find a college scholarship in their future. The NCAA recognized var-
sity equestrian competition as an “emerging” sport in 1998. While only a handful of schools offer the sport—18 Division I schools and five Division II school according to the NCAA’s varsity equestrian Web site (http:://varsityequestrian. com)—several young women from the Central Virginia region have landed riding scholarships. They include Annie McDonald of Maidens and Colvin Hedgepeth of Beaverdam (South Carolina); Kyla Blair of
Mechanicsville and Elizabeth Tuttle of Powhatan (Delaware State). Most recently, Rachel Webster of Mechanicsville signed with Kansas State. Forty schools need to offer the sport before it achieves full NCAA championship status. Unfortunately, growth of the sport at the college level has been stymied of late because of the economy as well as relaxed attitude toward enforcement of Title IX that began in the Bush see EQUESTRIAN, pg. 39 `

EQUESTRIAN Continued from pg. 37 b
Administration. (Title IX is the federal regulation that mandates parity in scholarships between men’s and women’s sports.) “Unfortunately, with the decline in the economy and the policies of our former President (Bush) there have been very few emerging sports added at institutions,” said University of South Carolina Coach Frances “Boo” Major. “There is a lot of interest in equestrian as an emerging sport but no one is going to add a sport to their athletics program until the economy improves and Title IX is more strongly enforced.” A typical college competition consists of four events, divided into two classes depending on the type of saddle used: reining and horsemanship in the Western class, and equitation on the flat and equitation over fences in the Hunter (or English) class. Unlike competition at traditional equestrian events— where participants usually ride their own horses—in NCAA competition a rider from each school rides the same horse in a head-to-head competition. “There are generally five competitors from each school for each event,” Major said.
“There are five horses. Each school must compete the same horse. The riders draw their horses by lot so no one knows who they are riding until right before the competition. Both riders on the same horse are given a score and the rider with the highest score wins a point for their team.” College coaches look for young women who offer a specific suite of experience and skills to their programs. “We’re looking for kids who can be competitive and help us win a national championship,” said Kansas State coach Cassie Lisabeth. “We’re looking for kids that have experience showing at that national level. Showing at that national level is important for the pressure of competing at that level. Riding and/or competing on a number of different horses is also important.” University of Georgia coach Meghan Boenig said they are also looking for young women with good grades and a good work ethic. “Academics is first and foremost because that’s what we’re here to do—to go to school to become successful young adults,” said Boenig, who grew up in Midlothian. “Last but not least is attitude. We look for somebody who believes
in team, in hard work, who is ready to unite for a single purpose—who is selfless.” How do prospective athletes get the attention of college coaches? At KSU Lisabeth networks with other coaches and trainers she knows, gets tips from current and former team members, and attends competitions to check riders out for herself. Likewise for Boenig. “If they’re very successful competitively at some of these national shows, they’re going to get our attention that way,” she said. “But more often than not, we’re first learning about people though their filling out questionnaires and sending them to us online.” If the coaches like what they see on the questionnaire, they ask for more information. “We would ask for transcripts and a recruiting tape,” Boenig said. “Based on that tape, we start a conversation of where their profile fits compared to the profiles of all the
student-athletes we’re evaluating that year.” Major said that young women who think they are potential college competitors should start looking at schools early on. She offered one last piece of advice—keep your mind on your schoolwork. “Keep your grades up because you can be the best rider in the country, but if you don’t make good grades you might be unable to get in to the school of your choice,” Major said. “Pick the school for academics first and the riding program second. Realize that full athletic scholarships are few and far between in equestrian, but it is often possible to get a full scholarship when you combine an academic scholarship with an athletic one.”
