AYERS HOMER LIFTS LANCERSEight-inning battle an early boost for young RapidsBY SARA [email protected]

If there’s such a thing as a moral victory in sports, the James River varsity baseball team

scored one in a 6-3 loss to Manchester in eight innings last Thursday.

The Rapids feature a very young squad with six 9th and 10th graders this year, all of whom are in starting positions. But no one in the district is taking them lightly and the fact that they took the Lancers, who are favored to be the top seed in the Dominion District, to extra innings bodes well for the squad and ill for other opponents.

“James River’s going to win a lot of games this year. They’ve got good young kids,” Manchester head coach Ricky Saunders said after the game. “They are what we were about three years ago when Joey Cujas was a freshman and Chris Ayers was a freshman and Ryan Morrison [was a freshman], so that scares me already. They’re going to be a team to reckon with.”

It was one of Manches-ter’s former freshman start-

Virginia State Trooper William Boelt has seen suspected intoxi-cated drivers “do everything” during his eight years in the fi eld.

“When I go to work, stopping DUI drivers is what I like to do. It’s an important part of highway safety,” said Boelt, who covers the Chesterfi eld and Powhatan area.

Boelt, who has made over 400 DUI arrests in his tenure, has faced a few close calls because of intoxicated drivers. Re-cently, when driving his vehicle over a hill on a major road in Chesterfi eld County, he was met with another vehicle going the wrong way. The driver was arrested for DUI. Another time he was giving a fi eld sobriety test to one driver when his vehicle was struck by another car, which fl ed the scene. While he fi nished the sobriety test

Spotlight on impaired drivers


In the kitchen hangs a sign that states, “There is a $5 fee for whin-ing.” It’s one of several quotable signs that adorn the walls around

Nikki and Chip Headley’s Chesterfi eld home. Confi dently stated, the fee has never been collected even when their travels have literally hit a bump.

The couple, who will celebrate 25 years of marriage this December, laughs and shares the many hum-bling moments the soul mates have experienced on the road during her rising music career. Nikki Headley is well-known by fans for her strong vo-cals and powerful songwriting in the Christian Country Southern Gospel music genre.

In fact, they shared that during the fi rst time they ever heard one of her songs on the car radio, the tire ex-

ploded on the trailer and ripped the fender. “It rolled it up like a sardine can,” Chip said.

And just like that, Nikki and Chip Headley have an appreciation for God’s gifts and life’s challenges that have inspired her to write the multiple songs that are featured on Headley’s fi rst national CD released in April 2008 and her second national CD, released in April 2009. She has written and composed 19 more songs for a third CD, which will debut at a later date.

“There are a lot of times that we have experiences; we call them divine appointments. We actually have dif-ferent things that happen along the road or people in our lives that the songs come from,” Nikki said.

The song “Dancing with the Angels” is about Nell Vincent, Chip

Phase I of MIRR project is launched


Drivers heading either di-rection on Midlothian Turnpike will begin to see a noticeable transforma-

Drive. The Midlothian Initiative to Revitalize Rights of Way Task Force held the groundbreaking ceremony of the project’s Phase I at Chesterfi eld Towne Center on Tuesday, March 16. Ray Birk, one of the founding mem-bers of the MIRR Task Force and busi-ness leader in the Greater Southport

NEWS || FEATURESEXEXPLAINbusiness owners who gath-ered for the ceremony that it has been exciting that area landowners put their heads and money together to sup-port revitalizing the corridor.

Funding for the MIRR project, which is reimbursed through a .02 cents tax-rate increase from the surround-ing area landowners, was approved in October by the Chesterfi eld County Board of Supervisors. In February, RSG Landscaping and Lawn Care received the contract for $355,393 through the county’s bidding process. The initial cost of the installation of the MIRR project, that includes items such as land-scape work, trees, shrubs, and groundcover along the 1.5 mile median, is $309,013, with maintenance costs at $46,380 for the fi rst year, according to the Chesterfi eld County Purchasing Depart-ment. Phase I of the project, which is anticipated to be a fi ve-year program, does have an option to annually renew the maintenance portion for the same amount of time.

Three other phases have been proposed to in-clude beautifi cation of the roadway’s external edges in the same area, as well as expanding the process to Courthouse and Huguenot roads. The MIRR proposal is linked online at midlothian-exchange.com.

Chesterfi eld County Director of Revitalization Tom Jacobson noted that the future is in investing in revitalization projects such as these to make a community stronger. Chesterfi eld County Administrator J. L. Stegmaier concurred that the MIRR project is a great example of innovation with the business community and govern-ment working together. “It’s a giant step in preserving the area for the business and the future,” Stegmaier said.

» THE WAY I SEE ITWAYNE FRITHInterviewed by Skip Rowland on March 20, 2010

Like many, Wayne Frith, Executive Director of SAFE, Inc. (Substance Abuse Free Environment), is faced with budget cuts and showing why his organization is essential. I caught up with him at Bandfest (an Alcohol-Tobacco-Drug Free fun night sponsored by SAFE) to get his perspective. This is how he sees it.

WF: [Substance abuse] is a critical problem. The cost, based on Center for Disease Control estimates, the cost to Chesterfi eld County alone is $470 million a year in lost wages, incarceration, medical cost, medical insurance, car insurance, accidents, crime, divorce, child abuse, spousal abuse, many, many, many factors, but substance abuse plays a major role in all of these things. The estimated impact, nega-tive impact, is $470 [million] a year inside Chesterfi eld County alone.

Everybody in this economy is struggling, especially in non-profi ts, because contributions are way down. And I will tell you that SAFE has had to take a cut, and we are willing to do that because we are part of the larger team. On the other side of it, the county and our other partners have been extremely creative in working with us to sustain the efforts. I cannot say strongly enough that this community has stated clearly, “This is essential!”

Our big vision is to save lives and to strengthen the economy; those are two pretty important items. We do not do traditional programs. Rarely do we make presentations to groups of youths. We want to change conditions in the entire culture, through public policy, en-forcement of certain laws, [as well as] organizational policy. We work with private and public organizations to change internal operational policy that impact substance abuse. By changing the entire culture, we’re not just getting at the at-risk kids, we’re making it less likely that anyone will use substances in an abusive way. If we can get the entire community to move a little bit, it’s huge. 314,000 people. If we can change the attitude of half the people a little bit, the entire environ-ment become[s] safer. We call it environmental strategy and it works.

The lowest number I’ve seen [in national studies] is that for every dollar invested in this kind of program, within ten years you’ll get eight back; and it goes as high as 1-20. Now there is some lag time, as the number of users go[es] down. It takes two, three, four years before you see other numbers begin to go positive, but, within 10 years, absolutely. It’s measurable.

When we look at the data [for] Chesterfi eld County, alcohol, mari-juana [use is] just at or just below the national average; tobacco, we’re considerably below the national average. Prescription drug abuse, we’re about 40% higher than the national average. Two years ago we were almost double the national average in inhalant abuse. In inhalant abuse, working with our partners, we have seen a drop of 44% in two years! Huge change!

We have great support from the Board of Supervisors in Chester-

fi eld and the School Board - good partners. The leadership in both the county and the school are with us 100%. I couldn’t ask for a better situation. [But,] we need more partners, we need more sections of the community, more individuals, more families. One of the new additions we just launched is called “Parent Pods,” where we teach parents to become advocates and agents of change. We can’t talk [to] everybody, so if we get groups of parents to start working and they start visiting their neighbors, going to their meetings, and carrying the message, it will change. We need more partners, more people, and yes we could use more money. But it’s mostly people, energy, passion, and commitment.

My favorite byline: “When a community of discovers its value, there’s nothing it cannot change.” That’s who we are.

MEDIA GENERAL NEWS SERVICE

» CORRECTION & CLARIFICATION: In the March 18 edition of Midlothian Exchange, Virginia

Governor Bob McDonnell’s name was misspelled in the caption on page 2. We regret the error.

In the March 18 edition, Kenny Marshall was misidentifi ed in a photo caption on page 9 as Kenny Wallace. We regret the error.

and made a DUI arrest, the local sheriff ’s department stopped the vehicle in ques-tion and another DUI arrest was made. “Luckily, at the time, I was on the passenger side of the vehicle. I have been in some close calls with impaired drivers,” he said.

And Boelt has seen trends continue to remain similar over the years. “The age range that is more prevalent for DUI drivers - from the early 20s to the early 30s. It’s not all the time, because arrests are made in all age ranges, but the most are made in that age range,” he said.

The change the 31-year-old would like to see from his fellow peers in the prevalent age group is for them to make better decisions at the end of the night. “I would tell them that if you go out and enjoy yourself, there’s nothing wrong with that. At the end of the evening call somebody – be it a cab or someone sober,” Boelt said. “Don’t put yourself and everybody else in jeopardy.”

He also has seen repeat offenders. “Some people learn from it and move on. Some people go back out and do the same thing. I’ve dealt with drivers who I’ve arrested for

the second, third, fourth, and fi fth DUI, even seventh-of-fense DUI. Eventually, it will end up with someone being hurt or killed – one of the two,” Boelt said.

The trooper has seen many fatalities and serious injuries in DUI crashes while working the evening shift because an impaired driver hit a tree, a car, or a highway jersey wall. A recent DUI crash involved a vehicle traveling northbound on Rt. 288 in the southbound lane. The driver ran another vehicle off the roadway before crashing in the median. “When I arrived on the scene, the person didn’t know what road they were on,” he said.

Since he has had several cases that have involved an impaired or intoxicated driver charged with manslaugh-ter, Boelt has observed the aftermath in the courtroom. “During a case like that, emo-tions run high on both sides – the victim’s and the suspect’s family. It impacts the commu-nity as well,” Boelt said.

Since January 2010, Boelt estimates he has made 20 DUI arrests. “The community needs to help us get the word out about intoxicated drivers and the pain they cause in many people’s lives. If you’re intoxicated, don’t get behind a wheel.”


After a winter of coughs, sniffl es, and quite frankly, the crud, one would think that Spring would be a welcome sight. It’s not. It’s not welcome when the pressure of the world feels like it is sitting between

your eyeballs. Yes, it’s pollen season. That wonderful time of year when the sniffl es turn to sneezes and the allergies are in full fl are-up.

It’s not really hard to convince anyone to go play outdoors after being cooped up in the coldest winter of the millennium (it’s great that we’re only 10 years into the millennium for that “offi cial” data). The hard part is attempting to bundle a box of tissues into a little one’s pocket while everyone runs toward the door. Of course, the handy jacket sleeve will prob-ably still be used at this age, but it’s worth a try to teach some manners, such as what one should say after a sneeze or when to politely excuse oneself from company in order to take care of any, ummm, issues.

Yet, it’s all worth it. Visiting family farms to see new animals arriving or gearing up for longer hikes in the sum-mer or even learning in the back yard of how to set up a tent – battling pollen is simply worth it when the eagerness to be outdoors is overpowering. And speaking of outdoors, best wishes to all the runners heading out to participate in the Monument Avenue 10K this weekend, may the temperatures be perfect, the clouds offer shade and the camaraderie be memorable.

Maude Bennett Levey Kerby, 80, died Thursday, March 18, at St.

Francis Hospital. She is sur-vived by her daughter Martha Bruce Kerby Graydon (Rick) and their son Joseph Bennett Graydon of Powhatan, her

sister Emma-Jo (Jody) Davis of Williamsburg and a host of loving nieces and nephews, great-nieces and nephews, as well as great-great-nieces and nephews.

The widow of Merle Dale Kerby, she was also prede-ceased by their son Harry Merle (Tad) Kerby, her broth-er Charles Allen (Buck) Levey and her sister Anne Levey.

A Richmonder, Mrs. Kerby grew up in Westhampton, graduated from Thomas Jef-

ferson High School and then from Mary Washington Col-lege with a degree in English. She later earned her Master’s in Education from Virginia Commonwealth University. After working a few years in advertising, she became an elementary school teacher, teaching at J.B. Watkins Elementary in Midlothian for 20 years.

The Kerbys moved to Midlothian over 50 years ago. She became an authority on the history of the area and was a popular speaker on the subject. She was proud of her many Revolutionary War ancestors and joined the Bermuda Hundred Chapter of the Daughters of the Ameri-can Revolution.

After Mrs. Kerby retired from teaching, she began a second career when she opened the Midlothian Book Exchange; her daughter later became co-owner. The Exchange, which has won many awards, has grown to over 200,000 books and has become an integral part of the community.

An avid supporter and gen-erous benefactor of John Tyler Community College, dona-tions in her memory may be made to the Maude and Dale Kerby Memorial Scholarship Fund there.

Family and friends will gather Sunday, March 28, from 2 until 4 p.m. at the John Tyler Midlothian Campus, 800 Charter Colony Parkway.

More than 27 community coalitions from across Virginia are among hundreds of communities nationwide that will hold an underage-drinking-prevention town hall meeting between March 18 and April 22.

These community coalitions, in collaboration with the Federal Government’s Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Prevention of Underage Drinking, are sponsoring the events which coincide with the beginning of Alcohol Awareness Month in April. These town hall meetings will discuss raising awareness and the conse-quences of underage drinking in Virginia communities.

Parents, teachers, youths, faith leaders, judges, law en-forcement and businesses will gather to discuss the impact that underage drinking has on their individual commu-nity and develop strategies to address the issue. Underage drinking is unique to each locality and each community can fi nd their solutions when members come together to keep their youth safe, healthy and alive!

SAFE (Substance Abuse Free Environment, Inc.), Chesterfi eld County’s community coalition to prevent drug and alcohol abuse, will host its town hall meeting March 27, 4-6 p.m., at Colonial Heights Baptist Church, 17201 Jefferson Davis Highway. The event is particularly geared to parents and teens. Judge Frederick G. Rockwell III of the Chesterfi eld Drug Court and Dr. Linda Han-cock, director of the Wellness Resource Center at Virginia Commonwealth University, will speak. An open micro-phone will enable participants to provide input and share

their stories. The fi rst 50 families to arrive will receive free Chick-fi l-A sandwich coupons.

In Chesterfi eld County, the average age for fi rst-time use of alcohol is 13. Three out of 10 students, in grades 8, 10 and 12, report drinking alcohol in the past 30 days. One in four, high-school seniors, reports binge drinking, or having fi ve or more alcoholic drinks in a row during the past two weeks. Most alarming is that students in mid-dle and high school report that their par-ents would not disapprove of them drinking as much as they would disap-prove of their using tobacco or marijuana.

Research clearly indicates that parents and families have the most infl uence on whether or not a child uses alcohol. Perceived parental disapproval is a powerful infl uence on underage alcohol use. Children who believe their parents would strongly disapprove of their using a particular substance are less likely to do so than those whose parents somewhat disapprove or neither approve nor disapprove.

SAFE’s Underage Drinking Task Force is active in developing strategies to combat this problem. For more information, visit chesterfi eldsafe.org.

Headley’s grandmother who passed away. “We played it at her funeral two days later and I tell you that was tough,” Chip remarked. “I still have tear stains on my guitar.”

Nikki explained that each song has an inspiration and background story; from “All You Need”, which was written for Richmond-based music partner Mike Toney after his parents died, to the message “Thank You, Lord”, written when she heard the good news that one of their four children would not need emergency surgery. The words and melodies are com-posed on numerous scraps of paper. “A lot of times, when the Lord lays a song on my heart, he’ll give me the words and the melody,” Nikki Headley said. “It wasn’t until a few years ago that Chip got me a recorder and now I can sing how it goes. It’s a little easier to convey to him and Mike [Toney].”

Now, the CDs offer comfort to others. “Each of the songs has their own personality. We give Mike the credit,” Chip stated.

Nikki Headley’s CDs were recorded at Hilltop Studios in Nashville, Tenn. Her voice is complimented by well-known country music talent

Mike Chapman, who also worked as music director and bass player with country music legend Garth Brooks. Other musicians on the CD include: piano player Barry Walsh, steel Player Mike Douchette and drum-mer Steve Turner and Glen Duncan. “I was scared to death when I fi rst walked in and was afraid of what I was going to mess up,” Nikki said.

However, the professional production was effortless as they compiled the songs. “You know God is in control because it was effortless,” Chip noted.

And they continue their Christian ministry by play-ing at benefi ts, retirement communities, and other events. She is currently in the top-fi ve in three categories in the King Country Agape Fest to be held in Texas this June, where she will perform the tribute to the late event founder Bob Wilson. Nikki has made the third round of fan-based voting, which is continuing through mid-April, in the categories of “female horizon”, “female songwriter” and “outstanding achievement award.”

BY LATIKA LEESpecial correspondent

Milk, eggs, bread and butter are probably the most common

items found on a typical gro-cery shopper’s list. But, if you ask Lisa Edwards, Food Lion Customer Services & Sales Manager, what it takes to get dinner on the table, she might say ABCs and 123s.

As a part of the Customer Service Involvement Team, Edwards brainstormed a cre-ative idea to help Food Lion partner with the local schools by bringing the classroom into the real world. The idea has developed into Food Lion’s Family Math Night program. It transforms the grocery store into a live class-room, giving families an op-portunity to work together, and apply math skills in a fun and friendly environment.

“I tested the concept on my eight- and eleven-year-old children,” Edwards said. “I brought them into the store and they loved it! So, that’s when I contacted Busi-ness Partnership Specialist Robin Byrd with Chester-fi eld County Public Schools. She loved the idea. We had several meetings across the county with principals and staff and now the program is being put into action in 15 elementary schools. It’s

spreading like wildfi re all across Virginia, too. People are calling in from Culpeper to Portsmouth and Roanoke to fi nd out how to imple-ment this program.”

The Family Math Night program is designed for pre-K through fi fth-grade students. Each child and his or her parents receive a math worksheet based on the student’s grade level, which helps them apply math skills during grocery shopping. Each family works together to complete the worksheet. The program was started at Store #1320, 1100 Court-house Rd., where there are three elementary schools within two miles of the store: Reams Road Elementary, Evergreen Elementary and W.W. Gordon Elementary.

“Math night was a won-derful educational experi-ence that involved the entire family,” parent Shantell Hamilton said. “Food Lion employees were nice and very welcoming. My son, Dasean, learned about math and how expensive grocery shopping really is for the family. The event was a win-win situa-tion for the school, families, and Food Lion.”

The school night event encourages parents to get involved in their children’s schoolwork. Red and yellow helium balloons, bright signs

and large print posters deco-rate the store for the purpose of directing the families to the aisles where they can fi nd answers for the worksheet. The hands-on learning activity engaged the students in reading, writing, math and social skills. On the worksheet, one question that kindergartners are asked is to estimate if an apple or an orange weighs more. Then, the student is asked to weigh both fruits using the scale in the produce department.

“This was a fun experi-ence, we did a lot of counting and found a lot of shapes,” said Heather Tippett, whose daughter, Ashlyn, is a kinder-gartener at Reams Elemen-tary. “Now when we grocery shop, I can create a task list ahead of time and come in with some ideas that we can do and items to look for. We can make a learning experi-ence out of it … even a chore like grocery shopping.”

But, the math worksheet gets more diffi cult with each grade level. One problem for a fourth or fi fth grader might be to see how many items they can buy to complete a meal for under $20. The challenge is to solve the prob-lem without using coupons, by not using more than two of the same items and having at least three healthy items in that meal.

“I thought it showed how fast you could spend money,” fi fth-grader Kathleen Griffi n said. “I also learned how to read the labels and what the guiding stars labels mean. Labels on the food give nu-tritional information … the more green stars, then the healthier the food is.”

Food Lion’s Family Math Night program began in mid-February and runs through the end of March.

Willard wins freshman indoor national title

Brittany Bock, a defender on the Washington Freedom professional women’s soccer team stopped in at Strictly Soccer last weekend to great fans. Bock was the fi fth overall pick in the 2009 Women’s Professional Soccer draft, going to the Los Angeles Sol, where she became part of a defense that allowed a mere 10 goals in 21 matches. When the Sol folded in January 2010, Bock was drafted by the Washington Freedom. Bock and the Washington Freedom held an exhibition match in Richmond following the appearance against the University of Virginia women’s soccer team. The 2010 season home opener for the Freedom is April 10 at 7 p.m. at the Maryland SoccerPlex. Season tickets, fl exible vouchers, mini-plans and individual game tickets are available at washingtonfreedom.com or by calling (866) 761-GOAL (4625).

Mi d l o t h i a n freshman Sean Willard went into the Nike

Indoor National champion-ship track meet on March 12 with a bit of trepidation.

After a great showing in the Central Region indoor track meet (2nd in the 1,000-meter run, 2:40.47), Willard did not have a good meet in the state championships fi nishing 21st with a time of 2:47.38.

“I was really nervous be-cause at states, I didn’t really have that good of a race, so I was worried. I didn’t want that to happen again,” Wil-lard said. “I knew going into it that some of the guys were low 4:30s [for 1,600-meters], and I had only run the mile twice so I didn’t know really what I could do. I got my [personal record] at the Ashe Center and that’s 140 meters [in track size], so I knew I could run faster on a nice 200-meter track.”

Not only did Willard run faster, besting his personal season mark of 4:40 for 1,600-meters, he won the national freshman title in a photo fi nish.

With 600 meters left, Rob Napolitano of New Jersey took off.

“I didn’t think he would hold it, but then going into the last 400 he held the lead and I didn’t think I was go-ing to catch him. I started closing the gap with 200 left and then we got on the back straightaway. I remembered how bad it felt to fi nish last at the state meet the week before, so I just pumped my arms as fast as I could and sprinted as fast as I could and hoped to win,” Willard recalled.

Willard bested Napolitano by just six hundredths of a second with a time of 4:31.29 to become the Nike Indoor National freshman champion in the one-mile run.

The win gives a confi dence boost to Willard who said his cross country season was a bit of a disappointment.

A middle-school stand-out, Willard suffered with hydration problems in the fi rst part of the cross country season. He implemented a strict water regimen and came back to fi nish strong in

the regional and state cham-pionships.

He started the indoor track season with a focus on shorter events in order to work on his speed for the outdoor track season and next year’s cross country season, but saw his hopes of improvement cut short by snowed-out events. He also found himself battling painful blistering problems for most of the indoor track season.

Though he qualifi ed for the regional championships in the mile and the 1,000-meter run, “I knew in the Ashe Center, I had to pick one of the events because I knew there were pretty good chances of me getting an-other blister, so I picked the thousand to run in regions because I knew I’d be in the fast heat. In the mile, I knew

I was going to be in the slow heat so it was going to be harder to go to states,” Wil-lard said.

He added that strong practices following the disap-pointing state indoor track meet fi nish gave him some confi dence as he headed for the national event, but even with the strong indoor track season fi nish, he’s not set-ting many lofty goals for the outdoor season.“Right now, I just want to keep improving and improve every race if I can. I don’t want to set too high of goals because I know if I don’t get them, it will just be a disap-pointment to me. I think one of my goals this year was to just break 4:30 and be competitive in the state,” he concluded.

Student/faculty basket-ball game raises funds for injured student

Dribbling for Drescher

PHOTO BY SARA PAGERobbies Drescher is greated by the students, faculty and staff at Tomahawk Creek Middle School. After a three-month absence, Drescher was welcomed back to school with a student/faculty basketball game in his honor.

BY SARA [email protected]

Stands packed with stu-dents stood cheering as Robbie Drescher entered the Tomahawk

Creek Middle School gymna-sium last Friday.

Drescher hadn’t seen his friends in three months, and they crowded around him when they got the chance, snapping photos and saying hello.

Drescher had been in Bal-timore going through physical rehabilitation after surgery to repair a hemangioma around his spine left him paralyzed from the chest down. He was back in school for the fi rst time on Friday, and he was the star for the day.

The TCMS Parent/Teacher Association made the second student/teacher basketball game a fundraiser for Drescher and his family and dubbed it “Dribble for Drescher.” Through $2 entry donations and $1 raffl e ticket sales, the TCMS community

raised $2010, which they pre-sented to the family as part of the day’s festivities.

“It’s been three long months of watching him come out of surgery,” Robbie’s mother Sharon Drescher said. “There was a lot of pain and a lot of time for him to recover and it’s been a diffi cult journey, but being here today helps us to just be so thankful that we live in this community where people care about each other and are willing to go above and beyond to help each other. I’m really glad that Rob-bie is a student at Tomahawk Creek.”

Robbie was born with a hemangioma, an abnormal build up of blood vessels, in his chest. For 14 years the mass grew in and around his spine and eventually began eroding the spinal cord.

“It was causing problems that had to be repaired, and it was during the surgery to re-pair the spinal cord complica-

ers that gave them the game though.

With two on and one out in the top of the eighth inning, catcher Chris Ay-ers stepped to the plate and delivered a three-run homerun over the wall in center field to end the game.

“I just wanted to get a base hit, drive it up the middle somehow,” Ayers said. “Just try to get the bat on the ball.”

Manchester shortstop Augie Ayers started the in-ning with a double to left-centerfield. Centerfielder Tyler Porter hit a ground ball between third base and shortstop. James River’s freshman third baseman Mac Caples made a div-ing catch off one hop and threw to first for the out.

The Rapids issued an intentional walk to Cujas, which brought up Chris Ayers.

James River got on the board first in the fifth in-ning.

With two out, Taylor Jaszewski hit a well-placed bunt between the mound and third base and beat the throw to first. Collin Lawless followed with a two-run shot over the fence in left field.

Cole Bushby reached on a walk, but Manchester pitcher Ryan Morrison picked him off with a nice move to first base.

The Lancers answered with three runs in the bot-tom half of the inning.

Morrison got things started with a grounder down the left field line, which he stretched into a double. Ryan Spangler entered the game as the pinch runner and reached third on a ground ball to the shortstop. First base-man Logan Toney reached on a walk and Dillan Shif-flett entered the game as a pinch runner, but Noah Vann didn’t need the extra speed on the bases. He sent a shot over the fence in centerfield to bring in three

runs and put Manchester ahead 3-2.

“We didn’t get down when we gave up a two-run homer and bounced back and put up the three spot,” Saunders said. “That was important. Noah got the big hit but it was more im-portant that the two guys before got on and we got some base runners before that happened.”

Caples tied the game at three with a solo shot in the top of the seventh and sent the game into extra innings.

Caples also had a strong day defensively, snagging a

pair of ground balls in the bottom of the sixth to keep runners off base.

“We’re real proud of him,” James River head coach Pete Schumaker said. “He’s a freshman … but he doesn’t play like a fresh-man. He’s a quiet, unas-suming kid; works hard every day … and he just battles. We love what he brings to the table.”

For both teams, see-ing tough competition so early in the season proved a confidence booster.

“Everybody knows [Manchester] is a class-A ball club from top to bot-

tom. They’re well-coached; they’ve got great players on this team, and they play the game the right way. So when we go up against a team like that and we take them to extra innings, that can’t help but make us bet-ter,” Schumaker said.

On the mound for Man-chester, Morrison struck out nine. Nathan Kirby struck out three as the starting pitcher for James River.

tions that he was injured even more,” Sharon explained.

“I’ve watched him run around, play sports and have a normal life for 14 years know-ing that that mass was in there and that someday we were probably going to have to deal with it, but I was not prepared for this,” she continued.

For months, Robbie faced painful rehabilitation far from his family and friends, but he was never far from their thoughts. As planning began for this year’s student/faculty basketball games, Sharon took an unexpected call.

“We were up in a rehab hospital in Baltimore for three months and Tomahawk Creek faculty contacted me in Baltimore and said they were thinking about doing the stu-dent/faculty benefi t game and what did I think of the idea? I said, ‘Absolutely!’ I thought it was a great idea so they got it underway,” Sharon said. “We came home from the hospital last week and this is the fi rst time Robbie’s been out and about and certainly in this school and this building and seeing his friends, so it’s been pretty exciting.”

Robbie got the royal treat-ment. As the guest of honor, he sat at center court before cheering masses of students at the two basketball games and helped to draw names in raffl es for pizza parties and opportunities to be principal for a day.

“I was really surprised and really excited,” Robbie said. “I wouldn’t think that people would do that much for me but it was a lot of fun.”

The Drescher family hopes to use the money for a wheel-chair with more durable tires and equipment so that Robbie can enjoy the active lifestyle he was used to.

He attends physical reha-bilitation almost every day and, according to his mother, maintains a good outlook.

“I’ve been so proud of Rob-bie and his attitude,” Sharon said choking back tears. “He’s remained extremely posi-tive throughout the last few months and he’s got a long road ahead of him … It’s not easy for a 14-year-old [to go through physical rehab], but he’s been working hard and he’s motivated and he’s ex-tremely hopeful. That’s what’s driving him is that hope, and I’m really proud of him.”

Timely hitting gives Titans fi rst win

PHOTO BY KENNY MOOREAnnie Eckmann of Trinity times her jump as she watches the movement of the pitcher. Eck-mann drove in a run and scored a run in a 2-0 win over Bishop Sullivan last Friday.

BY SARA PAGE [email protected]

It took only one inning for the Trinity Episcopal varsity softball team to grab a lead over Bishop

Sullivan Catholic on Friday, and that was all they needed, as the defense and pitching held tough for a 2-0 win in their fi rst game of the season.

The Titans scored all of their runs in the fi rst inning.

Braysen Newbitt got things started with a single down the left fi eld line. She went to second on a foul tip to the backstop and came around to score on a double to centerfi eld by Annie Eckmann.

Eckmann went to third on a wild pitch and scored on a single to right fi eld by Rebecca Darlington.

“Our veterans really were leaders today,” Trinity head coach Becky Currier said. “They stepped up, hit the ball in the fi rst inning and kind of got us in the lead where we could relax a little bit, so

that was exciting.”Just as exciting for the

Titans was the thrill of giving their newest players a feel for winning. Trinity has new players in three starting posi-tions – third base, left fi eld and right fi eld – but they didn’t see much action in the fi eld. Pitcher Carly Alford fanned eight batters in the win and Nesbitt added two more in the seventh to pick up the save.

Bishop Sullivan’s pitcher Devin Coyne put nine in the strikeout column in the loss. She got out of a bases-loaded jam in the fi fth inning. After issuing a walk to Eckmann, Coyne allowed a single by Darlington. With two on and

two out, Coyne walked the bases loaded before fanning the fi nal batter of the inning.

Darlington led Trinity of-fensively going 2 for 3.

“I don’t think we believed that we really can do it,” Currier said. “We’ve got some good solid players and we were able to score some runs. That’s what we take home.”

Trinity also had to get used to a new fi eld. Because their home fi eld is currently being used for construction of the new athletic facility, the Titans will play all their home games this year at the Southampton softball fi eld behind Southampton Elementary School just off Chippenham Parkway.

GALILEE, Israel – Peteand I were at the house.We still couldn’t believe it. Some from our group leftbefore sunrise to clean up the body. Then it began. Mary burst in like a wildwoman. “Grave robbers!” she screamed. There wasno calming her. (Grief affects some that way.)“O.K., we’ll check it out,” we assured her. (It seemed like a good time for a walk anyway.) On the way wemet others returning from the grave. No stolen body talk from them. But they didn’t make sense either.They jabbered about angels, earthquakes and aresurrection.

Pete and I ran. I got there fi rst. The Federal guards had passed out. The 2 ton sealed stone door hadbeen blown out of its track as if by an explosion from inside. From the door of the

cave I could see the burialface cloth neatly folded. It didn’t look like the work ofgrave robbers to me.

Pete fi nally arrived and ran inside the tomb. Ijoined him. There on thebench where the body had

been were the linen burialcloths. Strange! They werestill coiled as if wrapped around the body, but the body gone. No way bodysnatchers could do that. His body had not been stolen. Could those “supposed” an-gels be right? Is He risen? What ever happened… thebody is missing.

Everyone is encouragedto attend a public meetingto examine the evidenceand determine the exact whereabouts of the missing body. The meeting willbe held Sunday, April 4th, 10:30 am at Good Shep-herd Lutheran Church.Your attendance is crucially important.

University of Richmond Delta Gamma So-rority members Katie Toussaint, Maureen Rohrbaugh, Marisa Jendras and Lexi McCoy presented Guiding Eyes for the Blind’s Rich-

mond Puppy Raising Region with a box of handmade dog toys on Tuesday, March 16.

The sorority’s philanthropic mission is “Service for Sight.” Each member has a commitment to volunteer for a

relevant charity. As Guiding Eyes is dedicat-

ed to enriching the lives of the blind and visually impaired,

it proved to be a great fi t. Volunteer puppy raisers take

eight-week-old puppies into their homes to love, nurture, and edu-cate for a 14- to 18-month period before sending the pups off for the fi nal leg of training in becoming an offi cial guide dog for a blind or visu-

ally impaired man or woman. For a person without sight, a Guiding

Eyes dog provides a life changing independence. All 15 Richmond Region puppies

received a new toy. The remain-

der will be sent to Guiding Eyes’ Headquarters and Training Center in Yorktown Heights, NY, to be given to dogs currently in formal guide training.

To learn more about the local program and how your family can participate, please call 1-866-GEB-LABS or visit www.guidingeyes.org/volunteer/puppy-raising for ad-ditional information on the Puppy Raising Program.

Guiding Eyes for the Blind (www.guidingeyes.org), an internation-ally accredited nonprofi t guide dog school, was founded in 1954 to enrich the lives of blind and visu-ally impaired men and women by providing them with the freedom to travel safely, thereby assuring greater independence, dignity and expanded horizons of opportunity. Since that time, Guiding Eyes has become one of the foremost guide dog schools in the world, graduating more than 7,000 guide dog teams. It provides superbly bred Guiding Eyes dogs, professional training and follow-up support services to students at no cost to them and depends on contributions to fulfi ll its mission. The comprehensive cost of breed-ing, raising, preparing, training, and supporting a Guiding Eyes team is $45,000. Guiding Eyes for the Blind’s Headquarters and Training Center is located in Yorktown Heights, NY and the Canine Development Center

A toothbrush, nail clippers, a comb, six band aids, a bar of soap, a facecloth

and a hand towel. All are in your bathroom closet. All are inexpensive. All are eas-ily replaceable. That is, unless you are one of the millions of people whose lives were dev-astated by the January earth-quake in Haiti.

While so many Americans wondered what could be done to help, Redeemer Lu-theran Church, took action. Inspired by their Family Life Minister, Charessa Koontz, the 700+ member congrega-tion located on the corner of North Arch and Redbridge roads, answered her chal-lenge and donated these items in order to assemble 777 health kits.

“All of our people re-

sponded wonderfully with their gifts and prayers. And boy did they buy in bulk! God, through his people, truly showed up and showed off,” Koontz said.

The kits are to be dis-tributed in Haiti by the Lutheran Church’s disaster relief organization, Lutheran World Relief, whose mis-sion is to “act on behalf of U.S. Lutherans as a com-mon expression of our faith through international relief and development.” LWR Executive Vice President, Jeff Whisenant, noted, “Over 92,000 of these health kits were distributed throughout the world in 2009.”

After collecting the sup-plies, Redeemer members gathered in production-line fashion to assemble the kits. Approximately 120 adults and children participated and had all the items boxed and ready to go in less than one hour. From Chesterfi eld they will be sent to Maryland and from there they will be added to health kits collected by congregations throughout the U.S. to be shipped to Haiti.

Social Ministry outreach is not new to this congrega-tion, which not long ago celebrated its 60th anniver-sary. For the last two years they have sent workers to New Orleans to help with rebuilding after the fl ooding from Hurricane Katrina. For many years, church volun-teers have spent their sum-mer vacations on building projects for people in need in the Appalachia region. Locally, they participate with Habitat for Humanity. The church’s food closet dona-tions have touched hundreds of families each year and

approximately 50 members continue to provide home-made casseroles for a South Richmond shelter operated by the Good Samaritan Min-istries. Redeemer is also one of the many area congrega-tions who host guests from the non-denominational organization of Richmond churches known as CARI-TAS, a mobile shelter for the homeless. “We as Americans have short-term memories,

and we must continue to help those in need whether it be Haiti, Chile, or right here in the U. S.” Koontz added.

A toothbrush, nail clip-pers, a comb, six band aids, a bar of soap, a facecloth and a hand towel. Simple to us, but a precious message sent with this congregations’ love and prayers to God’s children in Haiti, reminding them through the example of Christ, someone cares.
