Vehicles still use the lot in Old 

Mechanicsville for a park-n-ride location, 

but 20 years ago, the bodies of two 

Richmond residents were found there. 

Mystery still surrounds the deaths of 

Deborah S. Ferguson and James “Jim” 

Richard Sherrin, 

both 21, and law 

enforcement 

officers remain 

tight-lipped 

about some of 

the particulars, 

including 

how they were

how they died, 

the only state- 

ment released from the Hanover County 

Sheriff ’s Office was “The manner of 

death is a homicide.” 

“We don’t think they were killed 

there, said Capt. Michael J. Trice. “We 

think they were left there.” 

Investigator Shawn Dover, a 19year 

veteran of the Sheriff’s Office, was 

assigned the case in May. 

“Despite a 

considerable 

amount of media 

attention and 

countless hours 

by investigators, 

this case remains 

unsolved,” Col. 

David R. Hines, 

sheriff, said. 

“However, we 

are committed to 

reviewing all the 

case information, 

interviewing witnesses,re-evaluating 

the forensic 

evidence with 

today’s standards, 

and do everything we can to bring this 

case to a successful conclusion.” 

“Unsolved is not acceptable,” the 

sheriff added. 

Deborah’s and James’ bodies were

area around 7 

a.m. on June 5, 

1990, by “a gentleman

said. They had 

last been seen the 

evening of May 

18 by his roommates 

at his residence 

on South 

Vine Street. 

“She showed 

up there and they 

talked for about 

an hour, an hour 

and a half on 

the front porch,” 

Dover said. “He went inside and picked 

something up – presumably his keys, a 

pack of cigarettes.” As he left, James told 

his roommates he would see them in 

about an hour. 

“Whatever they talked about on the 

porch – nobody was there to witness it 

— but they had a task to do,” Trice said. 

“And we’re not really sure what that task 

was, but they went out to do this task and 

we believe their attackers were known 

to them.” 

“Whatever situation they got themselves 

into attributed to their deaths,” the 

captain said.

2 The Mechanicsville Local November 24, 2010 

The Local Pick: 

L-DHS grad to introduce 

documentary about giving 

A Lee-Davis High School graduate will 

introduce a documentary, “A Small Act,” at 

7:30 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 21, at the Byrd 

Theatre. 

In addressing the 

official selection at the 

2010 Sundance Film 

Festival, Jonathan 

Roberts will tell the 

story of Chris Mburu, 

a young man from 

Kenya whose astonishing 

journey from 

ROBERTS 

an impoverished village 

boy to international 

human rights 

lawyer shines a light on the incredible power 

of giving no matter how small the gift. 

Roberts, a 2009 graduate of the University 

of Virginia, has been teaching the past 

year and a half at The American School of 

Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. 

He also has been working with an orphanage 

in Kenya called Lipela Childrens Home the 

past four years. 

In addition to introducing the documentary, 

Roberts will follow up with a question 

and answer session after the screening as he 

shares his story and experiences. He also will 

be available to talk to guests one-on-one after 

the screening. 

Mburu grew up in a rural village, too 

poor to afford the $15 school fees his primary 

school required each term. But with the 

help of an elderly Swedish sponsor named 

Hilde Back, who contributed the cost of his 

school fees, Mburu ends up not only finishing 

primary school, but graduating from the 

University of Nairobi and then Harvard Law, 

which launches him into his role as an attorney 

for the United Nations. 

Without his education and Hilde’s gift, 

Mburu said he would most likely be picking 

coffee instead of fighting crimes against 

humanity. 

Hoping to replicate the impact of the 

Swedish sponsorship program, he works to 

pay forward Back’s generosity by starting his 

own scholarship, which aims to rescue bright, 

needy kids in his home village from a bleak 

future. 

Mburu names the fund for Hilde Back and 

meets her for the first time at the fund’s dedication 

ceremony. It is here that he discovers 

Back is not Swedish, but a German Jew who 

escaped the Holocaust. She, in turn, discovers 

that the young boy she 

helped through primary 

school grew up 

to fight genocide. 

Today, the young 

students in Mburu’s 

village exemplify both 

his past and Kenya’s 

future. 

Kimani, Ruth and 

Caroline are the top 

three students in Mukubu primary school but 

are mocked by friends and relatives because 

they can’t afford the roughly $500 per year 

that high school costs; the kids and their families 

only earn about $1.50 per day. They each 

pin their hopes on winning one of Mburu’s 

scholarships, and as he prepares to accept 

applications, the documentary shows how 

the three children throw themselves fervently 

into their studies. 

In October, Roberts spent a day with the 

Hilde Back Education Fund in Nairobi and 

was able to meet with the Board of Directors, 

visit the schools and visit with some of the 

children from the documentary. He also 

attended the premiere screening of “A Small 

Act” in Nairobi. 

The donation price for the local screening 

is $10 per ticket, with all proceeds being split 

between the Hilde Back Education Fund and 

Lipela Childrens Home in Kenya.

Hanover County’s branches

members to enjoy.

For Mechanicsville, the Christmas 

Parade is a tradition, always scheduled for 

the first Sunday in December. 

Being part of the parade is an enjoyable 

experience for Padgett, who said 

Mechanicsville is “one of the finest places 

to live in the country.” 

While he and Planz share the duties of 

chair, he said, “At least 75 people basically 

work on this thing to make it happen — 

almost 30 from the Ruritan that came out 

and about the same number in the Rotary 

and some other volunteers.” 

Also key to the success of the parade 

organization is the involvement of the 

Hanover County Sheriff’s Office, with deputies 

helping with traffic control. 

With microphone in hand in the

OPINION 

| The Local Views 

From the editor 

Th e need is great and 

you can help by giving 

As we officially enter into the holiday season, Betty Lee Stanley, the 2010 

Hanover Christmas Mother, is helping Ruritans spread the word about the 

need of our fellow Hanoverians. 

During our recent interview, she offered a straightforward request: If you 

are blessed, please help the less fortunate in a time of economic strife. Caring 

and sharing are key words in her reign. 

Based on the donor listings submitted by the Doswell Ruritan Club, which 

spearheads the Christmas Mother program, we can be proud of our charitable 

families, friends and neighbors. 

And, yes, it is a case where every dollar counts. 

Monies stay in Hanover County and provide a joyous Christmas celebration 

for so many people, both young and old. 

Of course, you will be seeing Mrs. Stanley in the Mechanicsville Christmas 

Parade on Sunday, Dec. 5. A Montpelier resident, she is looking forward to taking 

part in one of the major events we enjoy here. 

For three years, it’s been a pleasure to meet the women selected for this 

outstanding honor — and Laura Stanley, Gigi Foster and Betty Lee Stanley 

each brought to the role a heartfelt commitment to helping make Christmas 

merry for everyone. 

So, if you’d like to help, please send your donation to: Hanover Christmas 

Mother, P.O. Box 39, Doswell VA 23047. 

Etc. 

+ In closing, Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy your family, your friends, your 

feast — and, most of all, remember that first Thanksgiving in 1621. We’ve 

certainly come a long way since then, but being thankful never changes -- and 

we have so many blessings as Americans. If you’re in the mood for some shopping, 

have fun on Black Friday. Like the Hanover Association of Businesses and 

Chamber of Commerce says: Buy Local.

Bald eagle joins observance 

At the Veterans’ Day program at Hanover Wayside Park 

on Thursday, Nov. 11, something very special happened. 

When Brig. Gen. Karen LeDoux, United States Army 

commander, started her speech, an American bald eagle 

made three passes above the trees, over the ceremonies. 

A few people saw the eagle, but at a special time like this, 

it wasn’t the time to point at it. 

What a perfect time for a visit from an American eagle 

at a Veterans’ Day program.

Thanks to band and parents 

I would like to thank all the band members and their 

parents that helped the vendors at the Lee-Davis High 

School Band Boosters Annual Bazaar on Nov. 13 at the 

school. 

I have done this show for the past four years and it is one 

of nicest shows that I am involved in. 

It is very organized and the band members are right 

there to help you unload and load your vehicle.

4-year-olds explain how a turkey is prepared 



The late radio and 

TV personality Art 

Linkletter said it 

best with these five 

words: “Kids Says the Darndest 

Things.” 

To get a child’s perspective 

on Thanksgiving, prekindergarten 

students at The 

Primrose School of Atlee 

Commons in Mechanicsville 

shared their thoughts on the 

upcoming holiday. 

Only the first names of the 

4-year-old students are being 

listed. 

They were asked “How 

does your mommy prepare a 

Thanksgiving turkey?” 

Their responses were: 

Barbara: “Daddy and 

mommy cook it together.” 

Brayden: “We don’t eat turkey. 

Daddy shoots a deer and 

then we eat it. ” 

Cory: “She spices it and 

whispers about it.” 

Dori: “Mommy puts sauce 

and ham on it . . . grapes and 

sugar too.” 

Elizabeth: “She cooks it in 

the oven for 15 hours, then she 

cuts it and then we eat it.” 

Jacob: “She walks the turkey 

and then she cooks it.” 

Luke: “She puts it in the 

oven and roasts it for a little 

bit.” 

Madison: “She cooks the 

turkey in the oven, probably for 

like 10 minutes, then she puts 

it on a plate and says, ‘OK, you 

can eat it now.’ ” 

Michaela: “Daddy puts it in 

the oven, then we put it in the 

microwave to warm it back up 

because it got cold.” 

Ti: “She puts sugar and 

roast beef on the turkey, then 

cooks it in the stove.” 

Trever: “She puts eggs and 

milk in it then she tells my

“MY CONFESSIONS TO MECHANICSVILLE AND HANOVER COUNTY” 

When I meet people in Mechanicsville, 

they usually say, “Oh, I know 

you. You’re the doctor I’ve seen at 

fairs, events all over town.” Well, I 

want to tell you a little more about 

me, and why I do what I do. When I 

graduated from Louisiana State University, 

I moved to Atlanta, Georgia 

and began living with my sister. I 

obtained a job at Abbott pharmaceuticals 

as a pharmaceutical sales representative 

for the Atlanta territory. 

One weekend during the spring time, 

I was sitting on my sister’s couch suffering 

from severe allergies as I have 

done all my life. 

It just so happened that my sister 

had a dinner engagement with a recent 

graduate from Life Chiropractic 

College. When he arrived, he noticed 

my condition, and told me that 

chiropractic could help me with this 

lifelong condition that I was experiencing. 

The fi rst thought that came 

to my mind was that this young man 

was a Quack. I had heard this story 

before, but I decided to give him a 

chance. 

I let him take a look at me. He began 

to poke around on my back, and 

found a lot of sore spots in my neck 

and mid spine. He proceeded to tell 

me that he thought a chiropractic adjustment 

would help. After aligning 

my spine in a matter of minutes, my 

nasal passages began to clear, and the 

persistent sneezing stopped as well. 

It was right then and there that 

I decided to choose a new career. 

I made my decision to become a 

Doctor of Chiropractic. I had experienced 

fi rst hand the power of 

chiropractic and the ability of the 

body to heal itself. I thought it would 

be fulfi lling to see people progress 

with chiropractic care, and to see 

their lives being restored. I absolutely 

love what I do and I feel so wonderful 

knowing that people are getting 

better and that they are having a new 

outlook on life. 

Here’s what some of my patients 

have to say: 

“I see Dr. de Barros because of my neck 

pain and lower back pain that was so 

bad I couldn’t even sit. Now he’s got 

me back in good shape. 

Thanks Dr. de Barros!” 

- Jimmy Packard, Mechanicsville, 

Virginia. 

“I came into the offi ce for neck pain 

and terrible headaches. After care with 

Dr. de Barros I feel amazing now. 

Thank you so much, Dr. de Barros!” 

- Shannon Carlin, Mechanicsville, 

Virginia. 

“I’ve had ruptured disc before and 

I tried pain pills as well as shots 

in my lower back. I decided to try 

chiropractic after some friends I had 

met through work told me about their 

experiences. I feel much better now; 

the pain is much better than it has 

been the past year. 

Thank you Dr. de Barros!” 

- Scott Snyder, Ashland, Virginia. 

“I have tried other chiropractors for 

my neck and mid back pain in the 

past. My wife, Tammy, recommended 

I go see Dr. de Barros at deBarros 

Chiropractic Clinic. I am almost painfree 

without taking any medications!” 

- Bruce Neil, Mechanicsville, Virginia. 

My confession is that I don’t heal 

anyone. I never have. I don’t treat or 

cure disease. Here’s how it works. I 

make a specifi c spinal adjustment to 

assist the nervous system to function 

better. It’s your body that does the 

healing. Many patients get tremendous 

results. It’s as simple as that. 

According to USA Today, in 2005, 

46.6 million Americans no longer 

had health insurance, and employers 

are requiring employees to contribute 

more too cost-sharing. That’s 

where I come in. I have signifi cantly 

lower fees so much that more people 

are able to afford the care they need, 

with or without health insurance. A 

whole week of care in my offi ce cost 

what you pay for one visit elsewhere. 

In a study done by Dr. Ronald Perrault, 

professor of 

Medicine at New 

York University, 

it was shown that 

people under chiropractic 

care for 

fi ve years or more 

had doubled the 

immune capacity 

of people who 

hadn’t received 

chiropractic care. 

This was done 

naturally and 

without drugs. 

The immune 

system fi ghts 

colds, fl u’s, and 

other sicknesses. 

So, you may not 

be running off 

to the doctor as 

much. Studies from Senate report 108 

– 081 shows that people actually pay 

less for their long-term overall health 

care expenses if they are seeing a 

chiropractor. 

Unique Offer—It Shouldn’t Cost 

an Arm and a Leg to Correct Your 

Health. If you bring this article by 

December 31, 2010, you’ll receive 

my entire new patient exam for $47. 

That’s even with spinal x-rays, if 

necessary... the whole enchilada. This 

exam could cost you over $330 elsewhere. 

Additional care is also very 

affordable, and you’ll be happy to 

know that I offer different payment 

options. You see, I’m not trying 

to seduce you to come see me with 

this low start up fee, then to only 

make it up with high fees after that. 

“Further care” is very important to 

consider when making your choice of 

a doctor. High costs can add up very 

quickly, and for that reason I participate 

with most major insurance 

companies. Some of those companies 

are: Anthem BCBS, Aetna, Cigna, 

Southern Health, PHCS, VA Health 

Network, First Health, and Medicare. 

Here are some 

of my qualifi cations... 

I graduated 

from Louisiana 

State University 

with a Bachelor of 

Science degree in 

environmental science, 

and a Doctor 

of chiropractic 

degree from Life 

Chiropractic 

College in Marietta, 

Georgia. I 

am board certifi ed 

by the National 

Board of Chiropractic 

Examiners 

in chiropractic 

and physiotherapy. 

I opened deBarros 

Chiropractic 

Clinic in 1988 and have been practicing 

in Mechanicsville for 22 years. 

Our staff members are 

exceptional. Our offi ce is both 

friendly and warm and we try our 

best to make everyone feel at home. 

We offer a wonderful service, at an 

exceptional fee. Our offi ce is called 

deBarros Chiropractic Clinic. It is 

located at 7020 Cold Harbor Rd. in 

Mechanicsville, just 1 mile south of 

Lee Davis high school. Our phone 

number is 804-730-2609 and website 

www.deBarroschiro.com. Please call 

one of our caring and enthusiastic 

staff members to make an appointment 

today. We want to help you. 

-Dr. David M deBarros, D.C. 

P.S. When accompanied by the 

fi rst, the second family member will 

receive the same exam for only $27.

JROTC cadets going international 

By Forrest H. Gladstone 

For Th e Mechanicsville Local 

In high school, the week of 

Thanksgiving break tends to be 

something of a formality. Few 

students are worried about getting 

ahead on their work, and 

most are carefully calculating 

exactly how many classes they 

can excusably miss in order to 

kick off the holiday weekend as 

early as possible. 

But for two Atlee juniors, 

this Thanksgiving means packing 

and collecting their schoolwork 

in advance as they prepare 

to travel to Singapore with the 

Air Force JROTC exchange program. 

Sponsored by the Singapore 

government, the program offers 

two syllabi options: one, an 18day 

leadership course; the other, 

a 10-day cadet exchange that 

focuses more on camaraderie. 

Josh Fabian arrived in 

Singapore on Monday, Nov. 22, 

for the 18-day course, while 

classmate Evan Harris will join 

him on Thursday, Dec. 2, for the 

10-day trip. Travel time for both 

will be around 28 hours — and 

electronics are not allowed on 

the base, so they’ll have to go 

back to basics to keep themselves 

entertained while traveling.

“Yeah . . . that’s what homework 

is for,” Fabian joked. 

Once there, the boys will 

be housed with other cadets 

in open barracks on a guarded 

Singapore military base. 

There will be cadets from 

all over the world participating 

in the program, and, for Harris, 

the international aspect is one of 

the most appealing things about 

the trip. 

“I’m really looking forward 

to the opportunity to experience 

a different culture, and to meeting 

new people,” he said. 

And since the stated goal 

of his program is camaraderie,

Atlee High School JROTC cadets Josh Fabian, left, and Evan 

Harris are preparing to head to Singapore as part of an Air 

Force exchange program. 

Harris certainly will be getting 

plenty of that. 

Along with scheduled activities 

that include “Adventure 

Training” and “Learning 

Journeys” to various parts of 

Singapore, cadets are encouraged 

to explore on their own 

in small groups, a freedom 

the program can allow them 

because the city maintains a 

high level of safety through 

strict enforcement of rule violations. 

“You get fined if you spit out 

gum in public, that’s how serious 

they are. I think they really 

just want to show themselves as

a model city,” said Harris. 

Although he admitted to 

being a bit nervous about traveling 

on his own for the first 

time, this is not Harris’ first 

time out of the country — he 

went to Italy last spring. 

For Fabian, on the other 

hand, this trip marks his first 

venture outside the United 

States. He’s glad the trip starts 

after he’s spent Thanksgiving 

with his family.

Deborah “had been holding

Sources also told the News

Miller told police “a few

The newspaper also said 

“she made large bank deposits 

and ran up her American 

Express bill.” 

Deborah and James were 

identified through dental 

records, the article reported. 

James’ driver’s license was found 

with his body, but no identification 

was found with Deborah. 

At the time, Lt. Howard L. 

Wray Jr. of the Sheriff’s Office 

said reports of drug deals had 

been made in the area where 

the bodies were found. He also 

said “there is no concrete evidence 

to link the slayings to 

drugs.” 

The victims “and their 

circle of friends,” according to 

the News Leader, were said to 

frequently use marijuana and 

cocaine. 

Deborah’s Ford Escort was 

located on Edgewood Avenue 

in Richmond on May 27. There

were no signs of foul play or 

anything suspicious. Her keys 

were not with the vehicle, 

which, the News Leader reported, 

was not locked. James’ blue 

Jeep, which police and friends 

told the News Leader did not 

run, “remained parked in front 

of the house.” 

James Ferguson came 

to Richmond from Fairfax 

County, where his daughter was 

raised, to file a missing person’s 

report. He went to her apartment, 

located her address book, 

and started calling friends. 

In taking a new look at 

the cold case, Trice said, “We 

believe somebody knew both 

Sherrin and Ferguson and their 

killer(s), and that’s why we 

believe the public can provide 

more information on this case.” 

“We don’t believe it involved 

a stranger. We don’t believe it 

was a random crime. We believe 

they were targeted by some- 

282.2620 

BarksdaleRichmond.org 

body they knew and killed and 

dumped in Hanover County,” 

he said. 

He also said the case “has 

a lot of the same type of circumstances 

we have in other 

unsolved murders, where 

somebody goes missing in 

one jurisdiction and there is a 

period of time between when 

they were reported missing, 

the family gets involved, and 

they get identified in another 

jurisdiction. This case involved 

multiple agencies assembling a 

body of work.” 

“And while we do have leads, 

while we have assembled a lot of 

information, unfortunately, this 

case has gone unsolved for 20 

years,” Trice said. 

When asked “Why them?,” 

Trice said, “Well, it’s part of the 

investigation. Motive is one of 

those things we’re looking over 

again.” Their associates and 

interests also are being investigated 

again. 

Trice said the Sheriff’s Office 

hopes to receive information 

from those involved at that time 

in order “to bridge the investigative 

gap to where we are 

now,” with a goal of prosecuting 

the case. 

Deborah and James had a 

history: They had dated. Her 

appearance at his home took 

place after their break-up. 

Dover said the couple’s contact 

had been “very sporadic 

from the time they broke up 

until this date in May.” Deborah 

had just returned from a week’s 

vacation and her roommates 

were, the investigator added, 

“unfamiliar with what she was 

doing or where she was going.” 

According to the News 

Leader reports, Deborah “and 

a male friend, who also was an 

acquaintance of Miller, made 

a ‘spur-of-the-moment’ trip to 

Florida.” 

Over the course of the investigation, 

“probably 100 people 

were interviewed,” Dover said. 

“I personally believe that this 

is a solvable case, just based on 

what I’ve discovered so far.” 

An art major and dean’s 

list student at Virginia 

Commonwealth University, the 

5-foot-5 red-haired Deborah 

was a rising senior. She was 

preparing for an opening at the 

Pope Gallery. 

She lived in the Chesterfield 

Apartments at 900 W. Franklin 

St. and was a part-time employee 

of The Tobacco Company in 

downtown Richmond. 

A native of Midwest City, 

Okla., James – standing at 6foot-6 

and weighing 240 pounds 

— had been a standout football 

player and also had All-State 

honors in basketball. He was a 

part-time student at VCU and 

had sporadic jobs. 

The News Leader said James 

came to Virginia when his 

mother and stepfather, Mr. and 

Mrs. Bradley P. Coats, moved 

to western Henrico from 

Houston. 

“Since January,” the newspaper 

reported, “he had worked 

a variety of construction and 

other odd jobs and frequently 

had been low on money. 

Friends said he also owed small 

amounts of money – usually 

$15 or $20 – to many people.” 

As he continues with the 

investigation, Dover said he 

welcomes input “from those 

who were around at the time 

this occurred.” He can be contacted 

at 365-6281. Information 

also can be provided through 

Crime Stoppers at 780-1000.

GardenFest of Lights opens Friday 

Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden has 

announced that the popular GardenFest of Lights 

annual show has been renamed the Dominion 

GardenFest of Lights to recognize its title sponsor 

for the past 12 years. 

This year’s event begins on Friday, Nov. 26, 

and ends on Monday, Jan. 10. 

“GardenFest of Lights has become a family 

tradition for many and our ongoing partnership 

with Dominion helps keep it fresh and exciting 

each year,” Frank Robinson, executive director 

of Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden. said. “It’s a 

natural fit for Dominion to be title sponsor of an 

event powered by electricity while at the same 

time focused on energy savings.” 

The annual event will be made possible through 

2013 by a grant from the Dominion Foundation, 

the philanthropic arm of Dominion. 

“Each year during the holiday season 

Richmonders and out-of-towners alike enjoy 

going to Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden for 

the spectacular GardenFest of Lights display,” 

William C. Hall Jr., a vice president of Dominion 

and president of The Dominion Foundation, said. 

“With this grant, The Dominion Foundation is 

pleased to continue this Richmond holiday tradition.” 

The light show has become one of Central 

Virginia’s favorite holiday events, with attendance 

growing from 8,500 in 1998 to more than 44,000 

in 2009. This year it will begin with a special 

guest turning on a giant “light switch” at 5:30 

p.m. Nov. 26, the night after Thanksgiving. 

Opening night will include hundreds of candle 

luminaries, ice sculpting demonstrations and, 

new this year, a “Fire & Ice” theme incorporating 

Glorious Glass in the Garden sculptures, with 

more lights than ever bringing illumination. 

More than 40 miles of light strands with 

approximately 700,000 bulbs are used this year. 

About half are LEDs (light emitting diodes) 

see LIGHTS, pg. 17

LIGHTS 

rather than traditional incandescent lights. 

“We continue to add more LEDs each year 

because they use less power but have great intensity 

and flexibility,” Robinson said. “A new use 

this year is a light curtain that is part of the train 

display; more than 1,600 twinkling LEDs will 

create a ‘starry night’ backdrop.” 

GardenFest runs nightly from 5 to 10 p.m. 

daily except for Dec. 24 and 25 at the nonprofit 

Garden located at 1800 Lakeside Ave. in 

Richmond. The event includes family-friendly

sort of adventure training that 

is in the shorter program. The 

additional classes include a session 

on “Ethics & Decorum” 

and First Aid training. 

Although there will be 

American chaperones on the 

trip, courses for both programs 

will be led by Singaporean

making sure the participants

Argument preceded death 

By Bill McKelway 

Media General News Service 

An elderly Hanover County woman who 

died of suffocation this year had been arguing 

with her boyfriend hours before she was 

discovered in the couple’s rental home in Cold 

Harbor, court testimony showed Thursday. 

But Hanover investigators also revealed that 

67-year-old Helen A. Dickerson’s alleged killer, 

a longtime boyfriend who towered as much as 

18 inches over the frail widow, told them she 

was breathing when he last saw her. 

Hanover Senior Assistant Commonwealth’s 

Attorney Shari L. Skipper said after a preliminary 

hearing Thursday that her office still is 

waiting for toxicology results and medical 

examiner estimates of how long Dickerson had 

been dead when she was found by investigators 

May 20. 

The death was the first homicide in Hanover 

in 27 months. 

Her head bent slightly to the right, 

Dickerson was found sitting upright on a 

couch with her left shoulder covered with an 

afghan that draped across her torso. 

A search warrant states that investigators 

were told that pills had been placed in the 

woman’s mouth “to make it look like a suicide.”

DEATH 

THE 

ALL 

NEW 


Hanover investigator Shawn Dover testified 

that Russell C. Chalkley, 48, told him that he 

had briefly forced a pillow over Dickerson’s 

mouth. 

But Chalkley, in one of several versions 

of events he related, said finally that he and 

Dickerson argued about girlfriends he had and 

that on the couch “he pushed a 

pillow into her face and held it 

there less than a second. 

“He said he saw her take a 

breath and let it out” before he 

left the home, Dover testified. 

A murder charge against 

Chalkley was certified yesterday 

to a grand jury; a trial date 

is not expected for at least four 

months. Chalkley is not related 

to Hanover’s commonwealth’s 

attorney, Ramon E. “Trip” Chalkley III. 

Russell Chalkley and Dickerson, a former 

restaurant hostess with scores of friends, had 

an unusual relationship that lasted some 11 

years. 

Court records in Hanover and Henrico 

“I am just 

scared. 

I don’t want 

to be 

near drugs!!!” 

HELEN A. DICKERSON 

Victim 

County show that Chalkley has a history of at 

least a dozen felony arrests, and court records 

are replete with protection orders gained by 

Dickerson. She alleged on multiple occasions, 

according to the records, that Chalkley beat 

her and threatened to kill her. 

He “threatened to snap me in half,” she 

wrote in one, accusing Chalkley of stealing 

from her to support a drug habit. 

“I am just scared. I don’t want to be near 

drugs!!!” she wrote, successfully 

gaining a protective order 

that expired a month before 

her death. 

According to the search 

warrant, Chalkley was arrested 

at a Caroline County gas station 

after he called a relative who 

told police that Chalkley had 

said he “purposely smothered 

his girlfriend” and arranged 

her death “to make it look like 

a suicide.” 

There was no mention in court yesterday 

about the call to the relative. 

Detectives found a sliding glass door ajar 

when they arrived at the home; Dickerson was 

in a nearby room on the couch with pills scattered 

around her body.

Clinical services gets new director 

Lisa M. Beitz started with Hanover County as intern working on master’s 

Lisa M. Beitz came to Hanover County 

Community Services as a graduate school 

intern in 1993 and liked it so much that she 

has spent most of her professional career 

here. 

The feeling is mutual: climbing the ladder 

steadily, she has now been named 

director of clinical services. 

“I am glad to be in Hanover,” Beitz said. 

“I love the sense of community, both in the 

CSB and in the county. Community members 

often grow up here, go to school here, 

they may go off to college but often they 

came back here and raise a family. There 

is such a great respect here for people and 

tradition and our community.” 

A Virginia Beach native, she first 

stepped foot into Hanover when she was 

earning her master’s in social work from 

Virginia Commonwealth University. 

She spent her internship here working 

as part of the children’s team providing 

mental health and substance abuse outpa- 

tient services to young people. 

Beitz returned in 1997 as a clinician 

before being promoted to Comprehensive 

Services Act (CSA) coordinator. 

She left for another professional opportunity 

in 2001 but 

returned in 2003 as 

a clinical supervisor 

for children’s outpatient 

services. 

She has stayed here 

since, moving up to 

coordinator for children’s 

services before 

her most recent pro- 

BEITZ motion, which took 

effect on Nov. 1. 

As director of clinical services, Beitz is 

responsible for the divisions of children’s 

services, adult services, crisis services and 

prevention services. 

She replaces Margaret Sellers, whose 

last day was earlier this month. 

CUSTOM BATHROOMS 


“The beautiful thing about moving into 

this position is that the coordinators of 

these services are experts in their areas,” 

Beitz said. “They know what is best for 

their clients and how to deliver the services 

most efficiently and effectively. They are 

very good at what they do, which has made 

the transition very smooth.” 

“It’s very exciting to have grown up 

with Hanover Community Services,” she 

said. “People have been really supportive 

and encouraging, it’s been incredible. I love 

Hanover.” 

“Lisa is a great addition to our management 

team,” Community Services executive 

director Thomas M. Slaven said. “She is a 

respected colleague and will do a great job 

moving services into the future.” 

Beitz and her husband Bill have two 

sons, Sammy and Jake.

development from outside the health system. 

University based courses, national professional 

meetings and “boot camps” along 

with legacy and leadership classes at the 

Bon Secours Health System at the headquarters 

in Marriottsville, Md., are regularly 

available to young professionals. 

“Young professionals will someday be 

leading this organization, and it’s important 

to educate and prepare them,” Stephanie

Bon Secours Virginia, said. 

“We have worked hard for the past 

three years to make our programs stronger 

and more successful for the health system’s 

youngest workers.” 

HYPE also cited the many ways Bon 

Secours creates a young-professionalfriendly 

work environment as one of the 

reasons for its selection. Those features 

include access to executives, professional 

development, flexible work schedules and 

wellness programs. 

Bon Secours also offers numerous 

programs just for young people who are 

starting their careers, including the Early 

Careerist Program which is geared toward

The View From Here 

Hanover Evangelical Friends Church 730-9512 www.friendlychurch.org 

A Son of Issachar 

By Pastor David Crisp, Senior Pastor 

For several months now I have been expecting Israel to launch a preemptive 

strike against Iranian nuclear sites to keep the apocalyptic 

death-cult followers who run that country from perpetrating a second 

holocaust – not millions of Jews dying in Nazi death camps over torturous 

years but millions perishing in an instant from a death-rain of Iranian 

warheads. A few weeks ago I shared my view as to why it had not yet 

happened: covert operations over the summer involving a computer worm 

known as “Stuxtnet” had slowed the Iranian march towards the bomb 

giving Israel more time before a strike was necessary. Israeli Prime 

Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is no shrinking violet when it comes to 

making tough decisions, but he is waiting till the last possible moment to 

make this one. And who could blame him! If he takes military action and 

launches a fi rst strike on Iran, the international reaction and condemnation 

of Israel will be overwhelming! The whole world will be down their throats 

and on their backs! 

The Bible, in Ezekiel 36:24-38 predicted the re-creation of Israel - God 

would bring them home from the many lands and nations to which they 

were exiled for nearly 2000 years. This prophecy was partially fulfi lled in 

1948, and then completely fulfi lled by victories in the ’67 and ’73 wars! In 

the following chapter, (Ez. 37) Ezekiel sees a valley of dry, disconnected 

bones coming together and coming to life. This is a word picture of these 

20th century events! Then, in the very next chapter, Ezekiel predicts that 

many nations will gather against Israel led by “Persia” …none other than 

modern-day Iran! (Ezekiel 38:5) Could this next chapter be about ready 

to unfold? 

The world-wide media machine continually spews out anti-Semitic and 

anti-Israel propaganda. Israel is hounded as an “occupier” and branded 

as an illegitimate interloper in very the land that God Himself gave to the 

descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob by an everlasting covenant over 

3,000 years ago. Recently, the Obama administration once again pressured 

Israel to stop settlements in certain areas within the west bank that were 

not under Israeli control prior to the 1967 six-day war. Netanyahu’s cabinet 

is right now discussing a 90-day moratorium on such construction. I was 

shocked to learn that they might be bowing to such pressure…until I heard 

what the U.S. was offering in return: 20 new F-35 fi ghter jets, and perhaps 

just as powerful, an extended security agreement between the U.S. and 

Israel which included promises from the U.S. to oppose in the United 

Nations Security Council any proposed resolutions that may come forward 

in the near future seeking to de-legitimize the sovereignty of Israel. 

So what do we make of this? Should we conclude that the current 

administration has undergone a change of heart towards Israel? I don’t 

think so. If that were the case, the U.S. would simply offer the planes and 

the UN support without any strings. It seems that the Obama administration 

wants to look like it’s getting “tough” on Israel while at the same time doing 

some things that the President wouldn’t normally do to help Israel. Why? 

Of course, I don’t know…but my view is that last week when Netanyahu 

was in Washington he gave them the strike timetable. On Aug. 22, the 

Russians, after many years of trumped-up delays, fi nally delivered on their 

promise to provide nuclear fuel to Iran. It’s now loaded up into their reactor. 

On Nov. 3, the top Israeli general in charge of military intelligence reported 

to the Israeli parliament his evaluation is that Iran can now build at least 

one bomb and will soon have two. Without some unforeseen miraculous 

intervention, Mr. Netanyahu will very soon be caught between the devil and 

the deep blue sea - strike Iran and unleash a fi restorm, including perhaps 

a large scale multi-front conventional war of retaliation, or see his nation 

obliterated by a nuclear missile. We should all be praying that Netanyahu 

will be like one of the son’s of Issachar described in the Old Testament 

– a man who understands the times and knows what Israel should do 

(1 Chronicles 12:32) – and that every believer in Jesus Christ would 

understand who we are and what we should be doing: praying for the 

peace of Jerusalem, living holy and godly lives, looking forward to 

the day of God and speeding its coming! (2Peter 3:12) 


Planners nix subdivision plan 

By Katherine Calos 

Media General News Service 

The Giles Farm subdivision was opposed 

by the Hanover County Planning Commission 

Thursday night because of concerns about a 

single access road to 228 lots in the back section 

of the proposed development. 

The project will go on to the Hanover 

Board of Supervisors with a recommendation 

for denial.

Drug store helps orphan 

Photo submitted by Debbie Briere 

While on a mission trip to Almaty, Kazakhstan in the fall of 2009, Debbie Briere met a young 

teenage boy named Artem who has cerebral palsy. She said she watched him struggle 

to get around the orphanage and try to keep up with his group when they traveled. 

When she returned to Mechanicsville, she talked to the staff at Colonial Pharmacy and 

arrangements were made to send a “gently-used” rolling walker to him. “Several people in 

the community donated funds to cover the cost of shipping and the very kind and patient 

Kay, postmistress at the Studley Post Offi ce, helped me fi nd the most cost effective way to 

mail it to Almaty in a big box along wih clothing donations,” Briere said.

Elizabeth Swainston, 

who lives on Howard Drive 

where one of the connections 

would be made, said she 

wouldn’t be as concerned if 

the new development were 

just twice the size of her community. 

Commission member C. 

Harold Padgett Jr., who represents 

the Chickahominy 

District, proposed approving 

the development without the 

interconnecting roads, but the 

motion failed 5-2. 

Joe D. O’Connor of the 

Cold Harbor District moved 

for denial, and Padgett was the 

only dissenting vote. 

The applicant has the 

option of working with the 

planning department on a 

phased approach to the development 

before the matter is 

considered by the Board of 

Supervisors. O’Connor had 

suggested that only 50 units

an easement can be arranged 

with the adjacent property 

owner. 

“You’re trying to meet that 

requirement [for access to the 

back section] with a gated, 

locked emergency access,” 

O’Connor said. “An emergency 

access may address fire and 

rescue getting in there, but 

that doesn’t address the citizens 

that will be living in there 

getting out.” 

In other matters, the planners 

denied a conditional-use 

permit for an existing mulch 

processing facility at the 

intersection of Mountain and 

Dunn roads. 

The operators, Brenda 

and Claude Dickerson Jr., 

were found guilty in General 

District Court of operating the 

mulch facility without a permit. 

They appealed the case 

to Circuit Court, which also 

found them guilty and gave 

them until Jan. 6 to obtain a 

permit. 

The permit was denied 

because they still have not 

submitted a sketch plan.

‘Holiday Angels’ program 

now accepting donations 

Many homebound seniors 

and disabled adults who rely on 

Meals on Wheels for nutritional 

meals and in-home services 

also count on them for daily 

necessities. 

Often their “Holiday Angels” 

wish list provides the only holiday 

remembrances that they 

and their grandchildren will 

receive. 

Meals on Wheels and 

partner McKesson Medical- 

Surgical, the Richmond-based 

national distributor of medical 

supplies and equipment, strive 

to brighten the holidays for 

these less fortunate neighbors 

through the “Holiday Angels” 

gift drive. 

McKesson’s employees provide 

specially requested items 

for children, as well as larger 

items for homebound adults. 

However, with more than 

5,500 items requested each year, 

the public’s support is needed 

to meet the remaining holiday 

needs of the Central Virginia 

community. 

Individuals, organizations 

and companies may donate the 

following new, unwrapped gifts, 

now through Friday, Dec. 10: 

- Safety and security items

HHS senior opening 

with band tonight 

The Onset, a local indie rock 

band featuring a lead female 

singer, Charlie Kennedy, from 

Hanover High School, will 

perform today (Wednesday, 

Nov. 24) at The National in 

Richmond. 

The group will perform 

songs from their new self titled 

album, which was recorded 

after receiving thousands of 

dollars in donations from fans. 

The Onset has performed 

at the University of Mary 

Washington, The Camel and 

Randolph-Macon College. The 

band appears regularly at The 

Canal Club in Richmond’s 

Shockoe Bottom. The 

Thanksgiving eve performance 

will precede Against Grace, 

another Richmond-grown 

group that performs nationally. 

“Each performance gives us 

the opportunity to test out our 

talents and get a feel for what 

the audience loves,” Christian 

Oguchi, lead guitarist and cosongwriter, 

said. 

The band’s music blends rock 

with subtle soulful rhythms. 

Charlotte “Charlie” Kennedy, 

guitarist and lead vocalist, 

attributes the band’s sound to 

its major influences: Thrice, 

Paramore and The Beatles. 

“For our album, we wanted 

to convey how heartbreak hinges 

on the hope for a new start,” 

Kennedy, who is also the band’s 

chief lyricist, said.

Petersburg’s Crimson Wave 

broke against a Hanover juggernaut. 

In a rematch of last year’s 

Central Region championship 

game, the Hawks – led by sophomore 

quarterback Sam Rogers 

– pounded away and eventually 

wore down visiting Petersburg 

56-26 in a Central Region 

Division 5 football semifinal. 

Both teams demonstrated 

big-play potential, but the 

Hawks (11-0) did a better job 

of controlling the ball. As the

Rogers was particularly deadly

completed 4-of-7 passes for 128 

yards and three touchdowns. 

Cheatham drew his share of 

Crimson blood, however, rushing 

17 times for 110 yards and 

three touchdowns.

Kevin Green. Green, 

playing with an injured knee,

Tigers’ bid to tie it 

late fi zzles short as 

two-point attempt

HAMPDEN-SYDNEY 

— When it comes to playing 

Montclair State, Hampden- 

Sydney apparently is cursed by 

two-point conversions. The second 

matchup between the Red 

Hawks and the Tigers ended 

much like the first one. 

A failed two-point conversion 

cost Hampden-Sydney, 

which lost 16-14 Saturday in 

the first round of the NCAA 

Division III playoffs. 

The first matchup, the 1970 

Knute Rockne Bowl, resulted in 

7-6 H-SC loss when the Tigers 

failed to make a two-point 

HAWKS 


Hanover coach Josh Just said 

of Green. “He was winging it 

around there, but I thought our 

guys came up and made plays 

when we needed to, made a couple 

of key stops that allowed us 

to get more points.” 

Petersburg coach Mike Scott 

knew his team was going to face 

a tough opponent. 

“We knew we were coming 

up against a very physical offense 

at Hanover,” Scott said. “We 

came up against a two-headed 

– a three-headed – monster that 

was on fire tonight.” 

Scott said the two teams 

worked together in the off-season, 

and that work helped the 

Crimson Wave reach the Central 

Region playoffs. 

“My hat’s off to [Hanover 

coach] Josh Just. It was great 

working with him,” Scott said. 

“What you saw tonight, the display 

from our guys offensively, 

we had a lot to owe to Hanover 

conversion late in the fourth 

quarter. 

Yesterday, Montclair jumped 

out to a 16-0 lead and held the 

Tigers scoreless until the fourth 

quarter. Then Evan King scored 

the first touchdown for HSC, 

and Andy Bruckner (L.C. Bird) 

snagged a pass from Travis Lane 

(Mills Godwin) on the Tigers’ 

first two-point attempt of the 

day to make it 16-8. 

“Coming out of halftime, 

there wasn’t one of us who 

thought we’d lose the game,” 

said linebacker Trevor Ikwild, 

who finished with a game-best 

19 tackles. 

With 5:14 left, Lane completed 

a 9-yard pass to Bruckner 

to make the score 16-14. But 

on the two-point conversion, 

Lane’s pass left his hand a little 

too late, and it fell incomplete. 

H-SC would get the ball 

back, but MSU’s Gary Knoeppel 

from working with them in the 

off-season. We still had the best 

regular season record we’ve had 

in 31 years.” 

The two teams’ big play 

potential was evident early on. 

Petersburg’s second touchdown 

came on a 63-yard pass from 

Green to Keith Johnson with 

2:42 remaining in the half to 

close the gap to within two 

points, 14-12, of Hanover. But 

the Hawks responded with an 

86-yard kickoff return by Xavier 

Crocker 17 seconds later. Matt 

Palmen’s kick made it 21-12. 

The Crimson Wave was 

determined to strike back in 

the remaining seconds in the 

half. They were knocking on 

the end zone door when a pass 

interference call on the Hawks 

as time ran out gave Petersburg 

another chance to score from the 

Hanover 10. Green’s pass failed 

to find its mark, however. 

The big plays continued to 

play a role after the break. Rogers 

began the first drive of the second 

half with a 29-yard run. 

intercepted Lane with 3:18 left, 

allowing the Red Hawks to run 

out the clock. MSU travels to 

Wesley for the second round of 

the playoffs. 

In the first half, Hampden- 

Sydney struggled to find any 

rhythm, going 0 for 5 on thirddown 

attempts. 

“That was the best defense 

I’ve seen in a couple years,” H- 

SC coach Marty Favret said of 

the Red Hawks. 

MSU dominated time of 

possession in the first half, 

holding the ball for more than 

20 minutes. 

“We were trying to play field 

position and keep the ball away 

from them,” Montclair State 

coach Rick Giancola said. “They 

can score from anywhere.” 

Montclair State jumped out 

to a 10-0 halftime lead when 

Matt Jimenez charged in from 

17 yards, and Jake DelVento 

Cheatham followed with a 22yard 

run, and the Hawks capped 

it with Cheatham’s 4-yard scoring 

run with 9:50 left. On their 

next drive, Rogers’ 41-yard run 

set up a 6-yard touchdown by 

Cheatham with 7:20 in the third 

quarter that put the Hawks up 

35-12. 

“As an offense, we just know 

we just have to come out there 

and score every chance we can,” 

Rogers said. “We can’t really 

worry about what’s happening 

with our defense. They stepped 

up and made big plays tonight.” 

On the next possession, a 

53-yard pass from Green to 

Demonte Gregory helped set up 

Petersburg’s third touchdown, 

which came on a 1-yard run 

by Elvin Briggs with 5:44 in the 

third quarter. Green connected 

with Devondre Pollard for the 

2-point conversion to close to 

35-20. 

But the Hawks kept pounding 

away and scored on three 

successive possessions at the end 

of the third quarter and begin- 

later kicked a 24-yard field 

goal. 

“We were lucky just to be 

down 10 at half,” Favret said. 

But the Tigers’ fortunes 

changes in the second half. 

With the lead, MSU turned to 

its running game, which HSC 

was able to stop. Then MSU 

quarterback Tom Fischer was 

forced to pass, and he threw two 

interceptions, one to Bill Doody 

and one to Ikwild. But each 

time, Hampden-Sydney wasn’t 

able to take advantage. 

“We — at times — forced 

the run,” Giancola said. “We 

didn’t want them to have the 

ball.” 

Lane finished 30 of 49 for 

314 yards with one touchdown 

and one interception. 

“They’re as good as anybody 

we’ve played — including 

Mount Union,” Giancola said of 

the Tigers’ offense. 

ning of the fourth to seal the 

Crimson Wave’s fate. 

“Sam Rogers make plays all 

night long. When we needed a 

play, he was there to make it” 

Just said. “I thought Deane in 

the second half got going a little 

bit. And when Deane and Sam 

are both going, we’re going to be 

tough to stop.”

Central Region volleyball teams sent home 

Atlee, Deep Run 

fall shy of playing 

for state title 

By Arthur Utley 

Media General News Services 

Semifinal night in the 

Virginia High School League 

Group AAA girls volleyball 

tournament didn’t turn out so 

good for Central Region champion 

Atlee and runner-up Deep 

Run. 

Stone Bridge of Ashburn 

defeated Atlee 25-22, 30-28, 

25-18, and Kellam of Virginia 

Beach eliminated Deep Run 25- 

18, 25-21, 21-25, 25-21 at the 

Siegel Center last night. 

Northern Region champion 

Stone Bridge will meet Eastern 

Region champ Kellam at 7 p.m. 

tomorrow in the final. 

It’s the first time in the championship 

match for both teams. 

It’s the third year in a row 

since Deep Run won the second 

of back-to-back state titles that a 

team from the Central Region 

hasn’t made it to the final. 

Atlee (26-2) met its match 

against the Bulldogs. One of 

Atlee’s strengths is its balanced 

attack. Points can come from 

anywhere. Stone Bridge is equally 

balanced and taller. Middle 

hitter Alexandra Heyn, who is 

headed to Ohio State, is 6-4. 

“They could attack from 

anywhere, and they had big 

swingers across the front,” Atlee

outside hitter Meg Bowers said. 

Added outside hitter/setter 

Karlie Suber, “We hadn’t played 

a team with a strong middle.” 

The Raiders had lost just five 

sets this season. 

The first set last night was 

tight throughout. The score was 

tied at 20, 21 and 22 before 

the Bulldogs won the last three 

points and the set. 

“We tend to start slow, not 

by choice, and feel the other 

team out,” Stone Bridge coach 

Jill Raschiatore said. “All of a 


sudden we turn it on.” 

The second set was an uphill 

climb for the Raiders, who fell 

behind 17-11. With Hailey 

Brooks, Katy Stiles, Suber and 

Bowers contributing points, 

Atlee rallied. The Bulldogs 

regained the momentum and 

led 24-21. Kills from Brooks 

and Stiles and ace from Brooks 

knotted the score. 

The teams traded points 

to 28-28. Atlee errors gave 

the Bulldogs the winning two 

points.

The Bulldogs raced to a 9-1 

lead in third set, but the Raiders 

rallied again to tie at 13 on 

back-to-back aces by Brooks. 

She served what appeared to 

be a third straight ace, but the 

serve was called out. Stone 

Bridge outscored Atlee 11-5 

from there. 

Jitters from the first time 

in a state semifinal affected 

the Raiders more than the 

Bulldogs. 

“We weren’t as composed 

as we have been,” Atlee coach 

Curtis Carpenter said. “We 

had a pretty good season. We 

exceeded expectations but came 

up short.” 

Kellam won the first two 

games and appeared in control 

against Deep Run, but the 

Wildcats (24-7) out-battled the 

Knights in the third game. 

“If we had started sooner, 

I think we would have seen 

better results, but we stayed 

together when we were down,” 

said Central Region player of 

the year Chaney LaReau, who 



had 19 kills and 16 digs in her 

final high school match. 

Kellam bolted to a big lead 

in the fourth set, but Deep Run 

closed to 21-20 before another 

kill by Cheyanne James and 

Wildcats’ errors ended the 

match. 

James, a junior, logged 23 

kills, eight digs and four blocks. 

“When we all walked in, we 

knew Kellam would be tough, 

but I thought we could do some 

things to counter them,” said

R-MC splits games in Tip-Off Classic 

Jackets’ inconsistency 

leads to Panther 

win 70-63 

By JP Beauchamp 


On Saturday afternoon, 

the Randolph-Macon women’s 

basketball team came into the 

second round of their Tip-Off 

Classic still high from beating 

No. 14 Mary Washington 

the day before. Yet, it quickly 

became apparent that they had 

difficulty finding their groove 

against Ferrum College, falling 

to the Panthers 70-63. 

“We played hard last night,” 

said R-MC head coach, Carroll 

LaHaye. “We had a great win 

against the nationally ranked 

team.” 

But facing a solid Ferrum 

squad as a follow-up tested the 

Yellow Jacket’s ability to do so 

on a regular basis early in the 

season. 

“We’re still finding ourselves 

a little bit,” LaHaye said. “Right 

now we lack some consistency. 

We’re playing a lot of different 

combinations. Sometimes 

those combinations work, and 

sometimes they don’t. Tonight 

we just never did get the right 

combination.” 

The Panthers on the other 

hand, were eager to put their 

Friday loss to Roanoke behind 

them. By the close of the first 

period, they had run out a 

nine point lead, largely due to 

shooting 45 percent to RMC’s 

32 percent. 

“I think that they executed 

their offense to perfection,” 

LaHaye said. “The scouting 

report that we had on 

them was ‘block, low block, 

low block, low block.’ And I 

thought that we were prepared 

to play against that, but we certainly 

didn’t show that tonight. 

I think that we didn’t pressure 

the ball enough and they were 

allowed to run their offense the 

way they wanted to, and they 

did very well at that.” 

Panthers’ head coach Bryan 

Harvey knew his team had their 

work cut out for them coming 

into the Classic. “We knew 

coming down here this weekend 

that all four teams were 

going to be quality teams,” he 

said. “They were good opponents 

for us, and a chance for 

us to see where we were. We 

felt like last night (Roanoke) 

we kind of let it get away from 

us down the stretch…didn’t 

execute…weren’t very disciplined. 

And today, we knew 

we were going to have to play 

a lot better.” 

The Jackets made a second 

half rally with short bursts of 

scoring combined with a pressing 

defense to get within a couple 

of points of the Panthers. 

But without the consistency 

they were looking for, they fell 

further behind as the game 

progressed. 

“We just put that press in 

the other day, so I wasn’t even 

quite sure we should do it, but 

I was pleased with the effort,” 

LaHaye said. 

Jennifer O’Briant was an 

example of R-MC’s shooting 

woes, going 1-for-6 on the evening. 

“It was a rough shooting 

night for us; but overall I think 

that we didn’t come out with 

enough intensity that we had 

last night,” she said. “I think 

we made some runs, but we

with heart. Strategy is a small 

part. There’s nothing about the 

match I’d take back.”

7-of-13 field goals and 2-of-5 

three-pointers. 

Lindsay Sharman and Katie 

Williams added 10 each while 

Taylor Wieczorek pulled down 

six rebounds on the night. 

The final shooting percentages 

varied little from first half 

and from LaHaye’s standpoint, 

the Yellow Jackets needed to just 

shoot the ball. “We didn’t even 

take the shots that I thought we 

had,” she said. “I thought that 

our shooters stood around a 

little bit. We’ll work on it. The 

things that I saw that we can 

improve on, can be improved 

on. So, I’m pretty excited about 

Shooting 50 percent from the 

floor in their opener, Randolph- 

Macon featured three players in 

double-figures, led by 16 points 

from Danny Jones, (in 14 minutes 

of action off the bench). 

Calvin Croskey (13 points) and 

Brandon Braxton who scored 

12 points on 6-of-8 shooting. 

The Yellow Jackets got off 

to a good start, taking a 22-8 

lead midway through the first 

half. From there the lead continued 

to grow, reaching 25 

points when Braxton converted 

a layup with 17 seconds to go 

in the half. 

R-MC, which shot 69.7 per- 

the spirit of this group and also 

the potential of it. 

“That’s always a tough job 

for a coach is making sure 

that your shooters continue to 

shoot…whether they miss a 

basket or six baskets,” LaHaye 

added. “You’ve got to shoot, 

‘cause you always miss 100 percent 

of those shots you don’t 

take. But the kids, they want 

to be perfect all the time. They 

take a lot of pride with their 

academics, and they do the 

same thing with their basketball; 

and they just think that 

they’re supposed to play perfect 

all time. Sometime that 


cent in the first half, took a 

50-26 to lead into the locker 

room and then opened the second 

half with a 20-5 run in 

the opening 10 minutes, taking 

a 70-31 advantage on a threepointer 

by Croskey. 

The Randolph-Macon 

bench outscored the SU subs 

39-10, while R-MC held a 45-33 

edge on the boards. 

Facing host Gettysburg, 

Randolph-Macon finished the 

game on a 19-8 run over the 

final six minutes to take the 

game 56-42. 

R-MC (3-0) was led by alltournament 

choice Eric Pugh

Five tips to simplify your 

holiday shopping on any budget 

(ARA) - The holiday season 

is upon us. That means the 

stress that comes with shopping 

for that perfect gift is not 

far behind. So, what’s the best 

way to go about making a list,

gift ideas that will help you conquer 

your holiday shopping - 

on budget - for everyone on 

your list. 

1Keep a master list. It 

can get overwhelming 

around the holidays 

when you are trying to decide 

whom to shop for. Outline 

everyone you need a gift for, 

and remember to incorporate 

any unexpected last-minute 

gifts. Then write down a realistic 

number on what you want 

to spend on each person and 

stick to it. Seeing it on paper will 

make it easier to knock items 

off your list while keeping your 

budget in check. 

2 

Be sure to have gifts 

on hand that can be 

given to anyone … 

regardless of their tastes. For 

example, Staples carries colorful 

Omnitech mini speaker pods in 

jewel tones for only $10 that can 

plug into any iPod, Sony PSP, 

or MP3 player, and are perfect 

for kids and grown-ups on the 

see BUDGET, pg. 4 

(ARA) - Buttery chocolate 

cookie dough with chocolate 

chunks, nuts and marshmallows. 

Creamy caramels with apple 

cider and warm spices. These are 

just a taste of some of the irresistible 

sweets you could be gifting 

this holiday season. 

Homemade holiday gifts 

deserve special presentations, 

but these finishing touches don’t 

have to mean a lot of extra time 

or money. Break out the crafting 

supplies, hit up a vintage shop 

or venture online to gather an 

inspired collection of packaging 

materials. With a few simple tips, 

you can create a memorable presentation 

worthy of the sweet, 

buttery goodness inside. 

* Create a candy cone. To 

package small, individuallywrapped 

candies such as Spiced 

Apple Caramels, find some festive 

paper at a craft or scrapbook 

store. Roll it into a cone and tape 

it shut at the seam. Add ribbon 

or other decorations and then fill 

the cone with candy. 

* Think outside the cardboard 

box. Consider packaging 

your gifts in a simple wooden 

box with a festive bow tied 

around it. Visit your local craft 

store for interesting containers to 

help you break free of the typical 

cardboard variety. 

* Take and bake. A readyto-bake 

treat such as North Pole 

Cookie Dough is the perfect 

hostess gift. Consider presenting 

it in disposable pint-sized ice 

cream containers. You can find 

them online or simply ask for a 

few from your local ice cream 

shop. Just don’t forget to add a 

festive tag with baking instructions. 

* Be sure to label. Use festive 

gift tags with the name of your 

recipe so your lucky friends and 

family know what a special treat 

they’re receiving. Custom complimentary 

gift tags can be found 

at butterisbest.com.

Spiced Apple 

Caramels 

Makes about 75 caramels 

Ingredients: 

2 cups apple cider 

2/3 cup heavy cream 

1 teaspoon salt 

1 teaspoon apple pie spice (If you 

cannot find apple pie spice, substitute 

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg and 1/4 

teaspoon allspice.) 

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 

1 1/2 cups sugar 

1/4 cup light corn syrup 

1/2 cup (one stick) butter, cubed 

Freshly ground cinnamon or course 

sea salt (optional) 

Directions: 

Pour cider into small saucepan 

and simmer over medium 

heat until reduced to 1/3 cup; 

approximately 35 to 40 minutes. 

Set aside to cool. 

Line 8-inch square pan with 

buttered parchment paper or 

aluminum foil. In small bowl, 

combine heavy cream, salt, apple 

pie spice, cinnamon and reduced 

cider; set aside. 

In large, heavy-bottom saucepan, 

combine sugar and corn 

syrup. Cook over low heat, stirring 

until sugar dissolves. Insert 

candy thermometer and simmer 

until syrup reaches 234 degrees. 

Remove from heat, remove 

thermometer and very slowly 

whisk in cream mixture (mixture 

will foam and may spatter). Add 

cubed butter and stir or whisk

Gifts from the 

heart that become 

traditions 

(ARA) - The richest 

memories of Christmas 

aren’t of things you’ve bought. 

Something plucked from a 

store shelf at the last minute 

doesn’t say much about 

the giver or the receiver. 

Christmas is a time of traditions 

and togetherness, 

and it’s a little bit different 

for every family. While the 

holiday you’re celebrating is 

the same as what other people 

are enjoying around the 

world, you create your own 

Christmas with the traditions 

you keep through the years. 

That’s not to say that the 

only traditions you observe 

are the ones that have been 

passed down generation after 

generation. With every year 

comes a new opportunity 

to make lasting Christmas 

memories – ones you’ll want 

to repeat in years to come. 

Gift giving doesn’t need 

to be impersonal, either. 

Whether you’re a savvy crafter 

or a new hand at making 

your own presents, creating 

handmade gifts is a sure way 

to give something that comes 

from – and goes right to – the 

heart. For the giver, there’s the 

pride of making something 

beautiful and fun, especially 

for your loved ones. As the 

receiver, what could be more 

meaningful than a gift that 

someone put their time, effort 

and skill into, just for you? 

And gifts like these might just 

become holiday traditions. 

Create a sweet 

tradition 

Since baking is a timehonored 

Christmas ritual, 

many spend time in the 

kitchen, readying sweet treats 

that guests can nibble on or 

to give as gifts. One of the 

most essential necessities during 

the fun and occasionally 

messy task of making cookies 

is an apron, making it a perfect 

gift for avid bakers. 

Jennifer Ackerman- 

Haywood, columnist, 

podcaster and blogger at 

CraftSanity.com teamed up 

with Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft 

Stores to design a holiday gift: 

two aprons at once – one for 

mom and one for her little 

baking helper. Of course, they 

can be used all year round, 

but keeping mother and 

daughter holiday aprons in a 

box with Christmas cookie 

cutters that get pulled out for 

the holiday season will give 

them even more meaning. In 

future years, those little baking 

helpers might grow into 

mom’s aprons and pass their 

own versions down to their 

own junior bakers. 

Gifts that really 

keep giving 

Even some items that you 

might not expect to pass 

down can become a holiday 

tradition. A simple project 

you can create as a family is 

just part of the fun: together,

“Every year, inevitably, I 

get caught up in the frenzy of 

the season,” says McClelland. 

“However, by sticking to these 

tips, I can focus on the joy of 

gift giving and the satisfaction 

of knowing I did it all under 

budget.”

Great, aff ordable gifts for kids 

(ARA) - Sure they love 

the cookies and candy, visits 

to Santa, and drop-ins from 

family and friends, but let’s 

face it - for kids, gifts are the 

real highlight of the holiday 

season. But if you, like many 

parents, hope to keep the holidays 

affordable this year, you 

may be worried about finding 

gifts that will thrill your child, 

but not break your budget. 

Some creative and expert 

advice can help ensure the 

holidays stay bright for your 

children - and affordable 

for you. The gift experts at 

Montgomery Ward offer some 

guidance on choosing gifts for 

kids: 

Sensible stocking stuffing 

It’s easy to get carried 

away when it comes to stuffing 

stockings. Many great 

items fit easily into a stocking, 

but small gifts don’t always 

come with a small price tag. 

Establish a budget for stocking 

stuffers, such as $20. 

Then look for simple, reasonably 

priced items. Younger 

children might love sparkly 

toothbrushes (you can even 

buy battery-operated ones for 

less than $10) featuring favorite 

cartoon characters. Toy 

cars, stickers or an inexpensive 

digital watch are great for 

boys, while girls might enjoy 

flavored lip balm or a small 

bottle of glittery nail polish. 

Older, tech-savvy children 

could use a USB flash drive to 

store music and photos. 

Main-event gifts 

Watching the joy in a 

child’s eyes as she unwraps a 

gift that she really wanted - or 

discovers the advantages of a 

toy she didn’t know she wanted 

- is the reward of creative 

parents. Certain types of gifts 

are sure to elicit just that type 

of response from a child. 

* Remote-controlled items 

have been popular for decades 

and thanks to advances in 

electronics and technology, 

it’s now possible to find an 

affordable remote-control toy 

to tickle the fancy of almost 

any child. Younger children 

who are dinosaur aficionados 

may enjoy a Remote Control 

Dino Buddy - a stylized T- 

Rex that stomps around and 

swings his tail. Nature lovers 

might adore a remote-controlled 

skunk that pretends to 

“spray” without the stink. And 

of course, who doesn’t love

PROJECT 


you can make re-useable gift 

tags to give your Christmas 

even more character. They 

can adorn this year’s gifts, and 

be addressed to specific gift 

recipients and then be wiped 

clean. If you use them within 

the family, you can keep them 

with your Christmas decor, 

and if you use them on gifts 

for people outside your household, 

they’re a bonus gift that 

your receiver can share with 

their friends and family, too. 

By following these project 

instructions from Jo-Ann

can add to your holiday traditions 

and create your very 

own Christmas. For more

(ARA) - Sure she smiles 

politely every time you give her 

flowers or a new bracelet, but 

instead of offering her the same 

old gifts this year, score big with 

a present that will really knock 

her socks off. Forget flowers, 

scented candles or even trendy 

fashion accessories - this year’s 

high-impact gifts blend technology’s 

fun and practical sides. 

Give the woman in your life 

a gadget that will make her life 

easier or inject some entertainment 

into her day. Whether that 

lady is your mom, wife, sister or 

girlfriend, brighten her holiday 

with a present she is sure to 

enjoy and appreciate for years 

to come. 

Fortunately, you don’t have 

to spend a bundle to snag her a 

great piece of technology. From 

MP3 music players to solar 

device-chargers, here are four 

items you can typically find for 

less than $100: 

MP3 player 

Everyone wants to take their 

music, videos and photos with 

them wherever they go, and 

MP3 players are perfect for onthe-fly 

multimedia enjoyment. 

New players like the Sansa 

Fuze+ from SanDisk are easy to 

use and come loaded with great 

features such as large, bright 

LCD screens, touchpads for 

easy content navigation, microphones 

and recordable FM radios. 

The Fuze+ comes equipped 

with a microSDHC slot, perfect 

for playing preloaded slotRadio 

cards or microSD cards loaded 

with your own music library. 

The slotRadio cards come preloaded 

with up to 1,000 songs 

in genres including ‘80s and 

‘90s, classical, health and fitness, 

rock and more. 

The Sansa Fuze+ is compatible 

with most major media 

formats including AAC/M4A 

(DRM-free iTunes songs) as well 

as Windows, Mac and Linux 

operating systems; so your special 

lady can enjoy virtually any 

type of content. Available in red, 

white, black, blue and purple, 

the 4 and 8 gigabyte versions 

sell for $79 and $89, respectively 

(a 16GB version goes for $119).

Fitness tracker 

She works hard, plays hard 

and gives every workout 100 

percent. She would probably 

love to know exactly how much 

benefit she’s getting from her 

workout. An array of palmsized 

devices is available to help 

her track her personal fitness 

level. Some measure and record 

calories burned or miles walked. 

Others check and record heart 

rate, blood pressure, body mass

Tech gifts for her under $100 

most important to her. 

Solar chargers 

Who hasn’t been caught 

with a dead battery and no 

charger? Virtually all our favorite 

gadgets, from smart phones 

to GPS devices, have their own 

charger. And all those chargers 

need a wall outlet to plug into. 

A solar charger offers a greener, 

easier solution to the lost charger 

dilemma. These devices are 

designed to use the power of the 

sun to power up a variety of different 

kinds of devices. Before 

you buy any charger, however, 

be sure it’s compatible with the 

device she’ll need to charge. 

Some work with just one or 

two type of devices from a few 

manufacturers, while others are 

more versatile. 

Universal remote 

You might remember when 

these units first appeared on 

the scene - it was around the 

time that we started connecting 

multiple devices to our TVs. 

Suddenly, we had a remote control 

not just for the television 

or the VCR, but for the DVD 

player, surround sound system, 

Internet device and more. Even 

someone with multiple college 

degrees could be forgiven for 

having a hard time keeping 

track of all those remotes, or 

knowing which remote controls 

which device. Universal remotes 

used to be somewhat less than 

universal, but advances in the 

technology have made it easy to 

find remotes that will work with 

multiple types of devices from a 

variety of manufacturers. 

With a little online research 

and some creativity, you’ll be 

able to give her a technology gift 

that she’ll appreciate and use all 

year long.

Foot-friendly gifts can make the holidays relaxing and bright 

(ARA) - Standing in long checkout 

lines, climbing up and down ladders to 

hang decorations, staying on one’s toes 

so the kids (or the spouse) don’t find 

where their gifts are hidden - it takes 

some fancy footwork to stay on top of 

things throughout the holidays. Even 

the healthiest among us can wind up 

with sore, tired feet at the end of a long 

day leading up to the holidays. 

“Eight out of 10 American adults 

have experienced foot pain due to 

uncomfortable or ill-fitting shoes, 

according to the American Podiatric 

Association (APMA),” says Brendan 

Leonard of Health Enterprises, makers 

of therapeutic products. “Compound 

uncomfortable shoes with lots of 

hours on your feet dealing with holiday 

demands, and sore fee can really 

dampen your holiday spirit.” 

Who wouldn’t love to have their 

tootsies pampered a little bit at this 

time of year? Gifts that make the feet 

feel good are sure to make the whole 

person connected to those feet feel 

pretty happy too. This season, consider 

giving a gift that soothes two of the 

(ARA) - When you sit down 

to create your holiday list, you 

might want to add a couple of 

extra things to make your list 

complete. That way you don’t 

need to make an emergency 

run to the store during the busy 

holiday season because your 

gift isn’t quite ready. 

So what are these extras that 

need to be on your list? 

Batteries 

Consider giving rechargeable 

batteries and a charging 

station so your family member 

most overlooked and underappreciated 

parts of the body. Here are four footfriendly 

gift ideas to get you started: 

Pedicure 

Having your feet and nails cared for 

by someone else can be a relaxing experience 

that leaves feet looking and feeling 

great. Professional pedicures can be 

inexpensive for a basic trim and polish. 

Or, for a bit more money, you can add 

in foot and leg massages, and paraffin 

or other skin-softening treatments. 

A pedicure can be a one-size-fits-all 

gift, and is appropriate for everyone 

from your best friend to your grandmother. 

Even guys can enjoy the treat, 

as many salons and spas now offer 

pedicures designed to pamper men’s 

feet. 

Foot massage 

A foot rub can be the ultimate way 

to decompress after a stressful and 

tiring day. Or, you can start your day 

with an invigorating massage. You can 

Keep these extras on hand 

to ensure your holiday 

shopping list is complete 

or friend won’t have to continuously 

replace batteries. 

Wrapping paper 

and supplies 

Be sure to check your supplies, 

including tape, ribbons, 

bows, scissors and gift tags 

early on as you’re creating your 

shopping list. 

Shipping materials 

Before you go shopping, 

add any necessary packing and 

shipping materials to your list. 

Or, plan to shop online, and 

have the gifts delivered directly 

to their final destination. You 

can find plenty of coupon codes 

for the gifts on your shopping

give the gift of a good foot massage in 

several ways, such as a gift certificate to 

a spa. Or, make the good feelings last 

even longer by giving a home massager, 

such as the Acu-Life Therapeutic Foot 

Massager, which has the APMA Seal of 

Acceptance. 

Favored by many major-league 

baseball and NFL trainers, the massager 

features a hollow tube that can be 

filled with hot or cold water for a more 

therapeutic massage that addresses different 

kinds of foot pain. The massager 

is available at Walgreens drug stores, 

and you can learn more about it online 

at www.healthenterprises.com. 

Lovely lotions 

It doesn’t take much for overworked, 

tired feet to become dry, cracked and 

uncomfortable. Nearly three quarters 

of Americans suffer from dry, rough, 

cracked or irritated skin, the APMA 

reports. More than any other part of 

the body, the foot cries out for soothing 

moisture. You can find quality lotions, 

polishers and foot scrubs in super-

markets, drug stores and department 

stores, or from a plethora of online 

resources. Look for ones that offer optimum 

moisturization and an aroma 

that mimic the recipient’s favorite scent 

- many people find peppermint and 

vanilla particularly pleasing for foot 

lotions. 

Insoles for the soul 

Sadly, style and comfort aren’t 

always in lockstep with each other, and 

we often wear shoes that look good but 

don’t feel good on our feet. In fact, the 

APMA cites poorly fitted, uncomfortable 

shoes as a major source of foot 

pain for many people. Fortunately, a 

host of high-tech shoe inserts has made 

it easier to ease the discomfort caused 

by shoes. Insoles can help cushion and 

support the foot while easing chafing 

in problem areas. You can even 

find varieties with gel inside or ridges 

that purport to massage feet while the 

wearer walks. 

You’ll need to know the recipient’s 

shoe size and in what type of shoe he or

While your foot-friendly gift probably 

can’t alleviate all the frustrations of 

the holidays, it can help recipients feel 

better about their feet. And once their 

feet feel good, maybe untangling that 

ball of last year’s holiday lights won’t 

seem quite so stressful.
