A pets unconditional love is the perfect gift for a family to
receive during the holiday season, and
the Richmond Animal League is making it easy for people to adopt
the animals that currently live at its shelter during its Operation
Silent Night initiative.
The effort started in 2011 when the organization set an
admirable goal to completely clear its shelter of cats and dogs
before Christmas
Eve, but Sarah Clinton, communi-ty manager for Richmond Animal
League, said the effort was so successful last year that the outfi
t decided to do it again.
The idea behind Operation Silent Night is that every one of the
homeless pets that we have at our shelter deserves to be in a
loving home for the holidays and spend Christmas, Hanukkah and New
Years with a family, Clinton said. It was such a success last year
that were doing it again this year, and were excited at the
prospect
of seeing that every animal in our shelter fi nds a home this
year.
As Clinton explained, 2011s adoption drive made it possible for
the Richmond Animal League to empty its kennel for the very fi rst
time. She said last years effort re-sulted in 119 adoptions with
only 50 animals being sent to foster homes to spend the
holidays.
To put the situation into per-spective, the Richmond Animal
Leagues shelter typically averages about 100 adoptions per
month.
And, as of last week, the facility
lodges about 200 animals each month, so this years goal is to
sur-pass last years results by fi nding families for all of
them.
The public turned out in record numbers last year, Clin-ton
said. And, there was an echo inside the shelter, which had not
happened since 1995.
On the other hand, the event also will help the volunteers that
donate their time to help out at the shelter a chance to spend the
Christmas holiday with their families.
We are a really small organiza-tion, Clinton said. We have seven
full-time employees, and the rest are volunteers who do things like
scooping litter pans and giving medications, so the idea that we
could also give them a day off and fi nd families for those pets is
a win-win for us.
This years effort began on Friday, Dec. 14, and it will end on
Friday, Dec. 21. During Opera-tion Silent Night, Clinton said

Before going home for the Thanksgiving break, Swift Creek Middle
School held its annual spelling bee, and with an audience of
students, parents and teachers assembled to determine the newest
school bee winner, 18 students took to the stage. Jason Knutson
emerged as the new victor. He won by correctly spelling albatross
and benevolent. Jason will represent Swift Creek in the county bee
on Jan. 8. First runner-up was seventh grader Jaleel Lang. This
years second runner-up, eighth-grader Haleigh Monahan, also was
second runner up last year. Shown are, from left, Lang, Knutson and

Static nativity scenes can be found on many front lawns dur-ing
the holiday season, but the annual Miracle of Christmas
live nativity pageant that happens at the Metro Richmond Zoo at
8300 Beaver Bridge Road in Moseley hosts what is perhaps the most
accurate representa-tion of the biblical story of Jesus birth in
the Central Virginia region.
And, in 2012, the event will celebrate its 10th anniversary.
Sponsored by the Metro Richmond Zoo and the Church of Jesus
Christ of Latter-day Saints, the nativity will be presented at 7
p.m., 7:45 p.m. and 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 21; Saturday, Dec.
22; and Sunday, Dec. 23.
Diane Barrus is the chairperson of this years Miracle of
Christmas presentation. She has been involved with the activity
since its inception, and she said that, like others, the happening
has now become a part of the holiday season for her family every
year.
We did the donuts when it fi rst started, and I helped with
that, Barrus said. But, now, its become our Christ-mas
tradition.
Barrus credits Jim Andelin, the direc-tor of the Metro Richmond
Zoo, with the spectacles success because he has added new features
to the event each year.

Festive described the atmosphere as Santa and Mrs. Claus mingled
with about 30 special guests
on Dec. 4 for a Christmas party at the Lifelong Learning
Institute in Midlothian.
Many of the seniors are home-bound and the party provided a
golden opportunity to get out of their homes.
For more than 10 years the Chesterfi eld County Senior Ad-vocate
offi ce and the Chesterfi eld Council on Aging have arranged for
Santa and Mrs. Claus to visit seniors in their homes.
In 2011, arrangements were made to bring the seniors to Santa
and it was a hit.
Its a great opportunity for them, senior advocate Debbie
Leidheiser said. They [seniors] really enjoy a chance to get out
and socialize. Some arent able to drive anymore and this gets them
out and about, a change of scen-ery from their environments.
They were treated to pizza, fresh fruit trays and other
delec-table snacks.
Two senior members of the group with musical talent tripped to
the light fantastic by playing toe-tapping, heart-stir-ring
Christmas carols on a piano.
Santa and Mrs. Claus mingled with the guests and attendees had
the opportunity to have their
photos taken with Santa.Then came a few surprises
from the jolly old elf. Santa, Mrs. Claus and a few
helpers gave out gifts. Each senior received a Christmas
stocking fi lled with goodies and a carry bag with supplies such as
a new blanket.
I was so excited about this party I couldnt sleep last night!
said Theresa Walker, a big smile spreading across her face. Its
been so much fun.
Transportation was arranged for the seniors who needed a ride to
the event.
The Senior Advocates Offi ce
offers information and referrals to, promotes and coordinates
ser-vices for, advocates and serves as a spokesperson for older
adults who want to remain active and independent.
According to the Senior Advocatess Offi ce: The Baby Boom
generation
currently comprises more than a third of the countys population.
By 2030, more than 25
percent of the countys residents are expected to be 60 or older.
By 2030, the number of
county residents older than 65 will almost equal the number of
residents younger than 20.

Something has come over Ron Despain and its turning quite a few
heads.
I fell under the Santa Claus about two years ago, Santa Ron, as
the jolly elf of Midlothian likes to be called, said laughing. This
feeling just started coming over me and ideas began to come into my
head. Mrs. Santa (his wife Kathy Despain) and I talked and planned.
Funny thing was my beard had started growing and as I looked in the
mirror one day, I thought, This is it.
A few changes had to come about since Despains hair was
reddish-brown.
The hair and beard had to be real, Santa Ron said. My wife and I
did the dying ourselves. I went through several hair colors before
we hit on the right formula. My hair became yellow, another time it
had a purple tinge and, then, at last thankfully, it was white.
Santa said reactions to his trans-formation from businessman Ron
Despain to Santa Ron made him the center of attention amongst
family and friends.
Friends and family members were questioning me if I was OK, he
said with a wide smile. A few people just thought I had lost my
mind.
But Santa Ron said he knows exactly what his dream is and it
involves the whole community.
The recently transformed Santa has opened Santas Chest in
Midlothian. Its not a toy store or candy shop, although it contains
many Christmas-themed items.
This store is Santas Chest, Santa Ron said. Its what you would
see if you walked right into Santas chest. What does Santa give at
Christmas? He doesnt just give things you use only at
Christmas, but things you can use all year long.
Santa Ron said the chest isnt about making money; its about
kind-ness and the feelings that come from giving and creating.
The chest offers some manufac-tured items but Santa Ron has a
goal not to sell many of those.
We welcome local (Virginia) craft-ers, painters, quilters,
woodworkers, doll makers, soap makers, etc., he said. Our goal is
to use all local made items.
When someone makes an item with When someone makes an item with
their own hands and has used their time their own hands and has
used their time and talents to create this work and I tell and
talents to create this work and I tell them, Your quilt or your
woodworking them, Your quilt or your woodworking item sold today,
their eyes just light up item sold today, their eyes just light up
and they say, Someone wanted what and they say, Someone wanted what
I made? Meanwhile the person who I made? Meanwhile the person who
purchases the item is excited because purchases the item is excited
because the item is unique. It generates good the item is unique.
It generates good feelings for all involved.feelings for all
involved.
One good turn invites another. I went to a business meeting,
Santa Ron said, and everyone had fi nished their presentations and
it was my turn. I did my business talk and then I asked, Could I
just take a minute? I asked everyone if they could just be
kind. I shared about Santas Chest. After the meeting a man came
up to me and said he had been out of work for six months but please
take this. He pressed some bills into my hand and I didnt even look
at them until after he was gone. The feeling in the air was
indescribable. I opened my hand and looked. It was $2, all he
had.
Those $2 sparked other donations, and, because of that, Mrs.
Santa and I were able to assist four families who would not have
had Christmas. I still have the $2, Santa Ron said.
What can be found in this special chest? Handmade quilts, doll
clothes, neck scarves, doll furniture, trains, paintings, crafts,
woodwork, stuffed animals, Nutcracker fi gurines, Christ-mas trees,
tree ornaments, candy and fancy chocolate treats.
Santa Ron and Mrs. Santa are very involved with assisting Noahs
Chil-dren, a hospice program based out of Bon Secours Health
System.
Santas Chest is located at 13144 Midlothian Turnpike in
Midlothian. The store is open year-round and Santa Ron and Mrs.
Santa are seeking crafters.

adoption fee for cats and dogs will be $10 and that each of the
animals will be neutered or spayed, micro-chipped and vaccinated
before leaving the shelter.
According to Clinton,
the holiday season is a good time to adopt a pet because many
moms, dads and kids are on vacation, which gives them time to help
a cat or a dog to become acclimated to living in a new home.
Typically, during this
time of year, people have time off from work or school so they
can work a pet into the home and help them to get adjusted, Clinton
said. And, everybody seems to think that there has to be a perfect
time to adopt a pet, but the best time is when you make time.
So, what qualities should someone have in order to provide a
good home to a needy pet?
Well, as Clinton ex-plained, a family doesnt need to have loads
of money, but they should have an abundance of love to share.
We are absolutely hoping to fi nd responsible homes,
Clinton said. And, I say responsible because puppies turn into
adult dogs and kit-tens turn into adult cats.
So, you dont need to be a millionaire, but you do need to make
your pet a priority because we want them to be loved by a fam-ily,
Clinton added.
The Richmond Animal Leagues Operation Silent Night adoption
effort will continue from noon to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 20, and
Friday, Dec. 21, at its shelter at 11401 Internation-al Drive in
Chesterfi eld.
For more information, visit www.ral.org or call
804-379-0046.
As the zoo director, Jim Andelin is just so creative, Barrus
said. He is always thinking of new things.
The attribute that sets the Metro Richmond Zoos take on the
nativity tale apart from similar local activities is the assortment
of animals that will be on hand.
And, as you might expect, each of the critters that will be on
display al-ready resides at the facility.
We have all the typical ones camels, a donkey, cows and sheep,
Barrus said. They are all at the zoo, and the camels are everyones
favorite.
But, Barrus said an addi-tion to this years festivities is that
the zoo will host a special Spanish language rendition of its
presenta-tion at 9 p.m. on Sunday, Dec. 23.
According to Barrus, the choice was made to do the nativity in
that second language because there are so many Spanish-speak-ing
families residing in the Central Virginia region.
Another new aspect of the event is that a food collection drive
held during the event.
Collection containers will be placed at the zoos entrance. The
non-perish-ables will be donated to Feedmore, a local charity that
provides food to other organizations such as the Central Virginia
Food Bank, Community Kitchen and Meals on Wheels, but Barras said
the zoo is spe-cifi cally asking for canned
items instead of other dry goods.
If they have canned goods, wed love to collect them, Barrus
said. And, we lean towards cans because of the weather, so cans
would defi nitely be better.
And, on Friday and Sat-urday, Krispy Kreme donuts and hot
chocolate will be sold for a nominal fee to benefi t ASK Childhood
Cancer and the Volunteer Rescue Squad.
So, how hard is it for handlers to keep the animals in place
during the event?
Well, Barrus said a fence encloses the area near the nativity
scene, so bystand-ers shouldnt worry that any of the animals will
fl ee during the proceedings. They will, however, be able to see
Nora, the donkey, up close as she walks Mary, Joseph and baby Jesus
through the crowd.
Incidentally, Barrus said the zoo once encountered its own
holiday miracle because of the nativity presentation. In
particular, she mentioned an anecdote about the huge star that
Andelin erected that will be displayed during the event.
The star is hooked to a tree that died, Barrus said. But, we put
the star up there, and the tree is living now.
Admission is free for all performances.
For more informa-tion about the Miracle of Christmas and the
Metro Richmond Zoo, visit www.metrorichmondzoo.com.
Santa Ron is ready for visitors at Santas Chest. He says the
chest is about kindness and the feelings that come from giving and
creating.

CONTRIBUTED REPORT
More than 1,600 black American high school seniors,
including Taylor Evelyn of North Chesterfi eld, have been
designated semifi nalists in the 49th annual National Achievement
Scholarship Program, according to an announcement by National Merit
Scholarship Corpora-tion (nmsc) offi cials.
Evelyn is a homeschool student.
These scholasticallytalent-ed young men and women now have an
opportunity to continue in the competition for about 800
Achievement Scholarship awards worth more than $2.5 million that
will be offered next spring.
To be considered for a National Achievement Schol-arship, semifi
nalists must fulfi ll several requirements to advance to the fi
nalist level of the competition.
About 80 percent of semi-fi nalists are expected to attain fi
nalist standing, and more than half of the fi nalists will win an
Achievement Scholar-ship award.
The National Achievement Scholarship Program, con-ducted by
nmsc, is a privately
fi nanced academic competi-tion that operates without government
assistance. It was initiated in 1964 to recognize academically
promising black students throughout the na-tion and to provide
scholar-ships to a substantial number of the most outstanding
program participants.
To date, more than 31,900 young men and women have received
Achievement Schol-arship awards worth more than $100 million.
About the 2013 Competi-tion
More than 160,000 high school juniors from all parts of the
United States re-quested consideration in the 2013 National
Achievement Scholarship Program when they took the 2011
Pre-liminary sat/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test
(psat/nmsqt).
Semifi nalists are desig-nated within geographic regions and are
the highest-scoring program entrants in the states that make up
each region.
To advance to the fi nalist level in the competition, the semifi
nalist and their high school must submit a detailed scholarship
applica-tion in which they provide
information about the students academic record, participation in
school and community activities, dem-onstrated leadership abilities
and educational goals.
Semifi nalists must present a record of high academic
performance throughout high school, be endorsed and recommended by
a high school offi cial, write an es-say, and earn sat scores that
confi rm their psat/nmsqt performance.
From the nearly 1,600 semifi nalists, about 1,300 are expected
to advance to the fi nalist level and in January they will be
notifi ed of this designation.
All Achievement Scholar awardees will be selected from the fi
nalist group on the basis of their abilities, ac-complishments and
potential for success in rigorous college studies.
National Achievement Scholarships
National Achievement Scholarships provided in 2013 will be
supported by corporations, professional organizations, foundations,
and by nmscs own funds.
Two types of scholarships will be offered.
Every fi nalist will compete
for one of the 700 one-time National Achievement $2,500
scholarships, which will be awarded on a regional repre-sentation
basis.
In addition, corporate and business sponsors will un-derwrite
about 100 Achieve-ment Scholarship awards for fi nalists who meet
criteria set by the grantor.
Although some corporate-sponsored awards provide a single
payment, most are renewable for up to four years of undergraduate
study. nmsc will release the names of scholarship winners in early
April.

SAY BOO! TO DRUGS SCHOOL DANCE
Swift Creek Middle School held its fi rst dance of the year on
Oct. 26, with the theme, Say BOO! to Drugs, to wrap up the PTAs Red
Ribbon Week. The dance was sold out with more than 400 students
attending. More than 30 student volunteers, with the guidance of
SCA sponsor Colleen Lee and PTA dance chair Carolyn White, helped
plan and decorate for the dance, turning the cafeteria into a
Haunted Dance Hall. Here, Veronica Lee and Emily Bartlett pose.

CRIME REPORT
The long goodbyeBY JIM RIDOLPHISpecial Correspondent
Ive got an 11-year-old black Lab who is undoubtedly the best dog
in the world just like yours, I would assume.
On the night my twins were born, Vito and I danced in the front
yard, spinning in circles and wagging our tails.
Hes welcomed three of my children on their fi rst visit home as
they returned from the hospital.
He has faced every indignity that a pack of small children can
deliver, and has done so with a wet nose and active tail. When
dresses were placed on him, he never growled, and the crowns on his
beautiful big head never seemed to annoy him, and he was never too
busy to stop for a quick grab at his shiny coat by
sometimes-unappreciative infants.
He has gaited through life with an unmatched dignity and grace,
and displayed an attitude I have often envied. He never gets
rattled.
Lately, that majestic walk has faltered, and Vito doesnt run so
fast anymore. Come to think of it, neither do I. More and more, I
wonder if my beloved dog has reached his time. I stare at his fully
grayed beard, his once massive frame that gets smaller every day,
and I know our days together are numbered.
Regarding dogs, someone once said that they will all break your
heart in the end. I suppose thats true, but I cannot imagine living
the past 11 years
of my life without the positive chunk of it that Vito has
enhanced, brightened and invigorated. I dont know if thats worth a
broken heart, but its a chance Im glad I took.
Even with the inevitable grief and sadness that waits in the
coming months, it cant diminish the huge role our dog has played in
our lives.
I relish my time with my dog more now than ever, and we spend
long minutes of silence just sitting close and snuggling. He likes
to lick my face, and I like to rub his belly, and that tail of his
still wags every time we see each other.
But both of us know the minutes are numbered, and the mutual
admiration must end, as all good things must. And though his
beautiful brown eyes only work a little, I hope his warm stare will
let me know when its time. Again, I depend on his wisdom when I
should be relying on my own.
I think Vito knows this and weve never dis-cussed it, but he
knows he gave me something no one or thing can provide. On the
worst of days, when life presents the most insurmountable
chal-lenges, a few minutes with his warm breath and wet nose made
it all go away. Nothing compares.
Im a lucky guy. Ive got four wonderful children whom I love and
adore, and a meaningful, busy, fulfi lled life. I enjoy my work,
and have supportive and kind friends.
But, I LOVE my dog, and he knows it.And that, my friends, brings
a smile to my face
even now.
CONTRIBUTED REPORT
Two Chesterfi eld County residents were among 284 delegates who
helped formulate legislative
policies during the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation 2012 Annual
Convention, which was held Nov. 27-29 in Chantilly.
Lucy Nester and Howard Nester Jr. joined in adopting policy
posi-tions to guide the Farm Bureaus legislative direction during
the 2013 General Assembly.
Issues addressed included the agriculture best manage-ment
practices cost-share pro-gram; funding for soil and water
conservation districts; increased funding for the state portion of
the state/federal coyote control programs; and continuing
support
for landowners property rights.Gov. Bob McDonnell recog-
nized Farm Bureau members who helped encourage state legislators
and voters to support an amend-ment to Virginias constitution and
to protect landowners from eminent domain abuse.
The amendment passed on Nov. 6 by nearly 75 percent.
County Farm Bureau members mailed more than 14,000 post-cards to
their state legislators last winter and distributed more than
10,000 Vote Yes on Question 1 yard signs before the fall
election.
In addition to setting legisla-tive priorities, delegates
re-elected VFBF president Wayne F. Pryor of Goochland County to a
fourth two-year term. Scott Sink, who farms in Franklin County,

to bring a country artist to Chesterfi eld County.
I think its going to be a wonderful show, and we want to make
the patrons as comfortable as pos-sible, Gowin said. Itll be
wonderfully done, and you can camp right there in the park.
But, one reason why we decided to go with Justin Moore is that
we want to make everybody see that were expanding our musi-cal
genres. And, we just felt that a country artist should be
there.
Justin Moore fi rst hit the scene in 2009 with the re-lease of a
self-titled album. His most recent release was 2011s Outlaws Like
Me.
And, Moore represents a new wave of country artists that Gowin
said includes others such as Brantley Gilbert and Eric Church,
another performer Moore opened for in the past.
Yet, his sound maintains a conventional sensibil-ity. Hes a new
generation musician who focuses on tradition and the new pop style
of country as well, Gowin said.
According to Gowin, Moores stage presence is
one of the reasons he has become popular with coun-try music
fans.
Well, he writes great songs, and hes a very en-ergetic
performer, Gowin said. Weve had a chance to work with him before,
and its an entertaining show.
Although Gowin said Moore has been working on new material, he
isnt sure if the concert will include an announcement about a new
album.
Still, much of Moores success has come from his social media
presence, so it should come as no surprise that sites such as
Face-book are a vital part of the Virginia Museum of Radio
Entertainments strategy to get the word out about his Pocahontas
Live appear-ance.
When asked why Poca-hontas State Park is such a great place for
country music fans to hear hits from Moores catalog such as
Backwoods, If Heaven Wasnt So Far Away and Small Town USA
per-formed live, Gowin said its an impressive outdoor venue.
Pocahontas Live is a great venue, and we love Virginia state
parks, so we
believe its a wonderful place for the community to attend this
kind of event, Gowin said.
And, (hosting concerts at) Virginia state parks like Pocahontas
helps to gener-ate business for the local economy.
Besides, its a beautiful amphitheatre. And, we felt that putting
our energy into it is a great benefi t for the county, so we want
people to support it.
A limited number of standing room pit tickets are available at
the foot of the stage. Gowin called those prime positions, the best
spots in the house for fans.
Theyre standing room only, but theyll get you as close as
possible to Justin Moore, Gowin said. They will put you, as the
patron, right in front of the stage, which gives the benefi t of
being very close to him.
Tickets are available at www.pocahontaslive.com and at the
Pocahontas State Park offi ce.
Standing room pit tickets are $45 and general admission tickets
are $25 in advance. General admission tickets will be $30 at the
door.

Change of seasonsLancers Duhart trades in his cleatsfor a pair
of high topsBY FRED JETERContributing Writer
During football, Manchester wide receiver Jonathan Duhart
whooshed along in the fast lane, making frustrated defensive backs
appear in need of road-side assistance. Then once football ended,
Duhart ran a fl y pat-tern straight to the basketball court. He
didnt miss a beat, said Lancers hoops coach Chad Long. Jonathan can
play on the perimeter; he can also muscle it to the rim. Duhart
didnt even take time to change uniform numbers he was No. 11 on the
gridiron for coach Tom Hall; hes also No. 11 in baggy shorts for
Long.The turbo-charged 6-foot-3, 195-pound junior earned
All-Dominion and All-Region honors snag-ging pigskin spirals from
Brandon Allen.Now Duhart and Allen are clicking again, indoors.
When I make a cut, Brandon hits me in stride, Duhart said of senior
Allen, the football quarterback turned basketball guard.Duhart was
speaking of basketball, but could have just as easily been
referencing football. Operating out of the spread offense, Allen
took target practice on rival secondaries. The dashing Duhart was
his frequent moving bulls-eye. Allen threw for 1,327 yards and 14
touchdowns. Duhart enjoyed a fantastic fi nish, grabbing 17 passes
for 183 yards and fi ve TDs in closing victories over James River
and Midlothian. Overall, he had 49 catches for 772 yards and nine
TDs, while also taking a turn playing safety.Hes the best receiver
weve ever had hes a big-time talent, said Hall. Also All-Academic,
Duhart carries a 3.2 grade-point average and, according to Hall,
attacks the weight room. Jonathan can write his own ticket to
college, says Hall. The recruitment process is well
underway.Virginia, Virginia Tech and Penn State are my fi nal
three, he said of his college options. Then he added: And N.C.
State is a close fourth. The son of Dr. Harold Bobby Duhart and
Verna Bradby, Manchesters No. 11 in orange and blue was moved up to
Halls varsity as a freshman and made the basketball varsity as
sophomore. Dr. Duhart, a pediatrician practicing in Peters-burg,
began his college football career at Notre Dame and transferred to
Morehouse in Atlanta, where he played linebacker. He coaches now in
Gates Association and works with Tony Squire AAU basketball. Mom
Verna, a systems analyst for Capital One, is a graduate of Old
Dominion, where she played in the band. Double-duty is the norm at
MHS. The Lancers basketball roster bares a strong resemblance to
the football cast. Six of Longs 12 players also suited up for Long.
I love it, said Long of the versatility. I like to see our athletes
play as many sports as they can.Hall concurs.
Its all about making the most of your high-school experience, he
said. After four games, Duhart was averaging about 15 points, nine
rebounds, and leading Lancers with more than three defl ections per
night in a 2-2 start. Joining Duhart and Allen as
football-turned-basketball players are Shawn Chil-dress, Waki
Lewis, Casey Wallace and A.J. Gray. Coming off a 17-7 season, Long
is trying
to plug many gaps left by graduation. Only three Lancers were
even on the team a year ago. Allen took his junior year off from
the hardcourt. There is no off-season for Duhart. Once basketball
ends, hes planning on running a fast break to the school track,
with an eye on 200- and 400-meter sprints. Says Hall: Whatever
Jonathan does, hes going to be good at.
GIRLS SOCCERBroadwater commits to West Virginia
Cosbys Toryn Broadwater an-nounced that she has committed to
West Virginia to play soccer.
She joins her sister, Tessa, who committed to the Moun-taineers
earlier this year.
VCU and James Madison also were in the mix, but the family ties
to Morgantown were impor-tant to her.
West Virginia was my num-ber one choice, she said. Itll
be cool to play with Tessa and my older sister also goes there.
We all wanted to be at the same school.
BASEBALLVHSL approves new pitching limitations
The executive committee of the Virginia High School League has
passed new legislation that limits how often a pitcher can
compete.
Under the old rule, pitchers
were limited to 10 innings dur-ing two consecutive days.
The new rule is far more detailed and takes a interval
ap-proach. Pitchers are now limited to nine innings in one day and
no more than 14 in a seven-day span.
If he goes two or three in-nings, he will require one day of
rest. If he goes four to seven, he will need two days of rest.
After two days rest, he can two in-nings. Three days, three
innings, and after four innings, he can pitch to the limit of the
rule.

Midlo earns share of third at Holiday ClassicTrojans send three
wrestlers to fi nal roundBY DAVE LAWRENCEMechanicsville Local
Deep Run wrestling coach Dan Leale had few doubts about the
ultimate outcome as the
Wildcats entered the fi nal round of the Lee-Davis Holiday
Classic Saturday afternoon.
I think we had it wrapped up before the fi nals even started,
Leale said.
And the Wildcats did. Deep
Run sent six wrestlers into the fi nal round, three of them
claiming fi rst place fi nishes, as it claimed the tournament team
title. Deep Run, with 182 points, was followed by second-place
Colonial Heights with 165. Midlothian and Jamestown tied for second
with 159 points, and host Lee-Davis fi nished fi fth with
134.5.
We didnt have any expectations to win this thing, Leale said. We
were just excited to be here and get some good matchups and be
happy to walk home with the fi rst-place trophy.
The three winning Wildcats were Stone Jimenez at 182 pounds,
David Pitts at 160 pounds and Seharut Suankeow at 113 pounds.

Colonial Heights sent only three wrestlers into the fi nal
round, but all three of them were winners: Dylan Gregg at 170
pounds, Justin Trent at 145 pounds and Jerrid Whaling at 120
pounds. Jamestown, one of three Group AA schools in the
tourna-ment, sent fi ve wrestlers into the fi nal round, two of
whom fi nished fi rst: Devin Washington at 220 pounds and Sam
Kitson at 195 pounds.
Lee-Davis had four wrestlers and two winners in the fi nal
round. Mark Resisenweaver won at 152 pounds and Reid Hues won at
132 pounds for the Confederates. Courtland, an-other Group AA
school, left with two winners: Shawn Saffy at 285 pounds and D.J.
Ahalt in a round-robin competition at 106 pounds.
The other fi rst-place winners were Ryan Brown of Monticello,
the other Group AA school, at 138 pounds and Henricos Shammer
Trimmer at 126 pounds.
Midlothian sent three wrestlers into the fi nal round (Brandon
Hog-ge, Jerry Ronnau, and Trent Parker), enough to earn a share of
third place with Jamestown. Midlothian coach Jimmy Cox was pleased
with the end result.
Im really happy for the boys, Cox said. They really worked hard.
This is the fi rst event this year that weve had the whole team
together competing, and they did a great job.
He said tournaments like the Holiday Classic are good
preparation for district and regional competition.
We like wrestling in individual tournaments, Cox said. The kids,
when they get to the semifi nal and fi nal matches, they see really
good competition.
Competing against larger schools was especially important for
the wrestlers from the Group AA schools.
Its always better, said James-towns Kitson. Better competition,
going around to tougher schools, getting to see new people and quit
wrestling the same AA people over and over. AAA kids are
bigger,
tougher and faster.The fi nal match at 285 pounds
was the shortest. Saffy pinned his opponent, Deep Runs Yousef
Malik in 1:32. Three others in the cham-pionship round won by pin:
Gregg pinned J.P. Schiesser in 3:15 in the 170-pound fi nal,
Trimmer pinned Hogge in 3:51 in the 126-pound fi nal and
Reisenweaver pinned James Rivers Behroz Taib in 5:44 in the
152-pound fi nal.
The rest took more time to claim their victories. Both Hues and
Su-ankeow required overtime.
I felt like it was going back-and-forth. I felt like it could go
either way, but I had to dig down deep and win, Hues said. Its much
better to win in overtime. Its like, a longer match. It shows youve
been working hard and staying in shape for it.
Suankeow said fatigue comes into play when the fi nal match of a
tournament winds down, but a late reversal that allowed him to tie
with 30 seconds left in the third period gave him a boost into
overtime. That was not all.
I was tired, but I was like, One more, and then Im done,
Suanke-ow said. I could hear my teammates cheering me on. It gave
me a little more energy for that.
Jimenez limped to and from the ceremony to claim his 182-pound
award. He had to overcome the injury and an early lead Lee-Davis
Taylor Campbell to win on a last-minute takedown.
It feels good to win no matter what, Jimenez said. The fact that
I was hurt and still won is both good and bad. The fact that Im
hurt is bad. The fact that I won with that is better.
Even though the host team did not win, Lee-Davis coach Craig
Spruill said the competition makes it worthwhile for the team.
The tough matches you know, we had some tough ones there in the
fi nals thats what gets them better, Spruill said. When they hit
them in the districts and regionals, theyre ready to go.

Wrestling from page 8
Johnson brings competitive nature to head coach's jobBY BRUCE
WELLSSports Editor
Much has been written and said about James Johnson in the days
since he was named as Seth Greenbergs replace-ment at Virginia
Tech, thus becoming the fi rst African-American head coach of any
Vir-ginia Tech team since Ricky Stokes was fi red as mens
basketball coach nine years ago.
In short, the James John-son story is about a kid who grew up in
Powhatan, went to college at Ferrum, coached there, and then at
Hargrave, Longwood, Old Dominion, College of Charleston, Penn
State, George Mason and Virginia Tech as an assistant before fi
nally getting his chance.
Johnson says that he got his work ethic from his parents, who
divorced when he was in college. His mother was a nurse at a
prison. His father, Johnny Johnson Sr., was part of the
housekeeping staff at the University of Richmond's basketball
arena, the Robins Center. The elder Johnson helped clean the court,
the locker rooms and the offi ces.
"He took a lot of pride in that," Johnson said of his father.
"What was instilled in me at an early age was, 'What-ever you do,
be the best at it.'"
In order to help his family, Johnson held various jobs as a
teenager. He worked at a restaurant and at a grocery store. He
raked leaves and mowed lawns.
Johnson was a standout forward at Ferrum, where he was named the
team's Most Valuable Player as a senior in 1993. He was also the
squad's Defensive Player-of-the-Year as a sophomore, junior and
senior. As a senior, Johnson averaged 6.1 rebounds per game.
"Its a great success story," former Ferrum coach Bill Pullen
said.
In 1992, Johnson helped lead Ferrum to the Dixie Con-ference
title and the second round of the NCAA Divi-sion III tournament. He
also helped the squad captured the 1993 Dixie Conference regular
season crown. He returned as coach in 1993-94 and helped Ferrum to
another Dixie Con-ference regular season title.
After graduating, Johnson went from playing for Pullen to
working for him. He not only helped Pullen coach but also did the
team laundry.
"Nobody will outwork that man," said Pullen, who has remained
close to Johnson. "That is the hardest-working coach Ive ever been
around, and Ive been around a lot of them. That guy works literally
24-7. As hard as hes worked and as dedicated as hes been, I knew he
was going to be a head coach. He knows what team is all about
Johnson, who spent fi ve years as an assistant on
Greenbergs staff, brought with him a unique skill set to the
head coachs offi ce in Blacksburg. The intangibles of time
management, discipline and respect, so important in the military
arena, Johnson found could be translated to the basketball
arena.
Theres also been a tangible increase in the running de-partment.
Every practice is a grueling workout. The Hokies go up and down the
fl oor, competitive three-on-three, full-court box-out drills that
breed sweat and exhaustion.
He has also brought a down-to-earth, relatable per-sonality to
the head coaching job. Players will often hang out in his offi ce,
socializing, talking about family or what-ever comes to mind.
Hes like one of us, said senior guard Erick Green said. Hanging
out with us, it feels like hes one of the guys. Hes our coach, and
he still gets on us, but he doesnt treat anybody different.
Johnson knows that despite the 8-2 start, there are still plenty
of skeptics wondering if he is up to the task of being a head coach
in the ACC.
"In the end, I'm not trying to coach to prove anything to
anybody," Johnson said. "I want to try to coach my team to the best
of my ability so we can play the best basketball we can play, we
can be the best youngsters we can be and be the best students."
Proving that he belongs
