Hometown heroes and members of the local business community will be recognized on Friday,

Jan. 25, at the Chesterfi eld Chamber of Commerce’s 2013 annual banquet at 1021 Koger Center Boulevard in North Chesterfi eld.

Networking and cocktails will be held from 5:30 to 7 p.m.

At 7 p.m., dinner will be served and the program will begin.

The theme of this year’s event is “Paint Your Own Canvas.”

As Darcy Warren, communications and events director for the Chester-fi eld County Chamber of Commerce, explained, the inspiration for the theme came from a few places.

“There have been some studies done and some that are currently be-ing done in regards to businesses and how there is an advantageous return on investment for those that have discussions with artists and people in the cultural arts world,” Warren said. “So, we wanted to use this concept to get our members to think a bit differently with how they approach their (businesses) and get them think

about painting (their own canvases) and how the Chesterfi eld Chamber will provide the tools throughout the year to paint those (canvases).”

Warren also said that the Ches-terfi eld Chamber of Commerce supports the Chesterfi eld Center for the Arts Foundation’s ongoing effort to build a cultural arts center in Chesterfi eld. For that reason, a raffl e will take place during the banquet that will benefi t the foundation.

“In addition, we wanted to focus on cultural arts to support those in our community,” Warren said. “We also wanted to do something to

help promote the Chesterfi eld Cen-ter for the Arts Foundation that is trying to build a cultural arts center in Chesterfi eld.”

“So, we thought we would have everything come full circle and have a raffl e the night of the banquet during the cocktail hour for pieces of art from local artists, tickets to cultural arts events and anything else arts-related. All the funds will go towards the Chesterfi eld Center for the Arts Foundation.”

In past years, the banquet featured keynote speakers, but, according to Warren, the planning

committee decided to present more awards instead and include artistic performances in accordance with this year’s theme.

Entertainment will be provided by such organizations as the Rich-mond Symphony Youth Orchestra and Stavna Ballet.

“The committee wanted to make a change and focus the evening more on our members and honor them with more awards than in the past years,” Warren said. “In addition,

Women will be the focus of the upcom-ing Ladies

Night Out event that will take place from 6 to 8:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 25, at Boulevard Flower Gardens at 2100 Ruffi n Mill Road in South Chesterfi eld.

The evening’s theme will be “Girls Gone Country.”

Sherry Novak, the com-munity program coordina-tor for Boulevard Flower Gardens, said the business has hosted similar happen-ings in the past.

She said Boulevard

Flower Gardens likes to be a part of the community and these kinds of events help with that effort.

“Well, this time of year is a slow time for our green-house,” Novak said. “We’re a full-service garden center as well as a greenhouse, and we want to attract our customers to still come in, even though there’s not a lot of planting going on right now.”

“This isn’t the fi rst time we’ve done an event. But, we fi nd that our ladies love it, because it gives them an op-portunity to do something

for themselves after they’ve been stressed out during the holiday season.”

The theme was chosen because country line danc-ing will be the event’s big-gest attraction. Novak said there will be introductory lessons for the participants

who haven’t performed line dancing publicly before.

“Well, we thought we should give it a catchy theme, and it was a great

idea to go with the line dancing,” Novak said. “And, in our past experiences, we have offered the line danc-ing and for the women to be able to take lessons.”

The event will be held in the Boulevard Flower Gar-dens’ tropicals area, which

Novak said will provide a warm atmosphere during the proceedings.

2012 Richmond Symphony Designer House'Pinifer Park' breaks all previous records

Pinifer Park, the 2012 Richmond Symphony Orches-tra League (RSOL) Designer House, broke all previ-ous Designer House records last year.

With almost 7,000 guests touring the house over the one-month event starting on Sept. 10, net proceeds to-taled $190,000, the largest amount ever raised among the 15 prior RSOL Designer Houses presented since 1984.

Proceeds are donated directly to the Richmond Symphony to assist with funding community outreach and special pro-grams in the Richmond area, according to Maresa Spangler, publicity chair for Pinifer Park.

The Pinifer Park Designer House was chaired by Midlothian resident Faye Holland.

More than 1,000 community volunteers staffed the many positions required to produce the results.

The house tours, the Boutique, the Cafe, the Raffl e, the Gala and several special events all contributed to the success of the Pinifer Park home.

There also was a wedding and reception on the grounds, a fi rst for the RSOL Designer House events.

The RSOL extended thanks to everyone who participated in the Pinifer Park Designer House, including the sponsors, designers, vendors, volunteers and members of the touring public.

Pinifer Park is now offered for sale by Pinifer Park Proper-ties.

CONTRIBUTED REPORT

Midlothian Boy Scout Troop 2860, sponsored by

Woodlake United Method-ist Church, partnered with Piedmont Search and Rescue crews and central VA K-9 Alert dog search teams for a professional training exercise.

The exercise was conduct-ed Jan. 11-13 at the Brady Saunders Boy Scouts of America camping reservation near Goochland.

More than 100 people participated in the training exercise. The exercise in-cluded many standard search and rescue training methods, including multiple searching techniques, navigation and victim extraction.

The scouts served in all aspects of the exercise, work-ing hand-in-hand with the professional teams.

The search and rescue exercise is part of a new Boy Scouts of America merit

badge for Search and Rescue training for 2013.

The Scouts of Troop 2860 are the fi rst in Virginia to participate in the merit badge training to include a training exercise with professional search and rescue teams.

Ken Holder and Lee Fields, both certifi ed search and rescue trained profes-sionals and adult leaders in Troop 2860, facilitated the partnership between the troop, Piedmont professional teams, and K-9 Alert dog search teams.

Holder and Fields kicked off the multiple event train-ing series with a navigation class on Jan. 12 that drew 70 participants from the more than 100 scout member-ship of T2860. That many and more took part in the multiple day winter camp at the Brady Saunders BSA reservation Jan. 11-13.

be on hand with a variety of items that should appeal to attendees. Novak said rep-resentatives from businesses including Angel Bolton, Dolisca Designs, Mary Kay Cosmetics and Pampered Chef will be participating Friday evening.

“We’ll have vendors that are going to be targeting women and women’s prod-ucts,” Novak said. “Our ladies will also be eligible to get dis-counts on a lot of our newest garden products and home décor for the springtime.”

Door prizes will be award-ed throughout the night, and those items will mostly be provided by the vendors.

“Well, we usually ask that the vendors come up with something that they can of-fer from a selection of their products for door prizes,” Novak said. “There will be drawings about every 30 minutes or so, and they need

to be present to win.”There also will be a com-

plimentary wine tasting, but as Novak explained, partak-ers must present proper identifi cation in order to participate.

She also said that proceeds from the admission for the Ladies Night Out event will go to support Crater Com-munity Hospice, a hospice located at 3916 S. Crater Road in Petersburg.

According to Novak, women work hard, so they deserve an opportunity to relax in a friendly environ-ment.

“Like I said, they enjoy the idea of it being strictly marketed for women,” Novak said. “It’s their night out and a chance for them to pamper themselves.”

Admission is $10. For more information,

Brandermill Woods’ long-awaited expansion project is scheduled to begin

later this spring. With the increasing de-

mand for senior rental hous-ing, coupled with enhanced services and amenities, the project is considered to be a timely one.

Now, after 27 years, they are making way to offer a new level of excellence for its residents.

Brandermill Woods hosted an expansion kickoff on Tuesday, Jan. 22, and unveiled its fl oor plans, site images, new marketing materials and virtual tour kiosk. Resi-dents, prospective residents, community leaders, archi-

tects, builders and bankers celebrated the future of the senior community.

Brandermill Woods currently offers cottages and clubhome apartments for residents 65 years and older, along with providing a continuum of care in its healthcare facilities.

The planned expansion will include the addition of 93 independent living apart-ments offering one bedroom, one bedroom den and two bedroom fl oor plans, a new Wellness Center with fi tness room, arts and crafts, library and indoor pool, and an expansion of the current Clubhouse, which will offer an additional dining venue, game rooms and theatre.

The health care facilities also are receiving a facelift and renovations of the cur-rent 60-bed nursing home. These renovations will con-sist of remodeling semi-pri-vate rooms into private and shared private rooms and redesigning common spaces to refl ect a more home-like environment, all in accor-dance with the new culture change in nursing homes.

The fi nal phase of the expansion is the addition of a new wing housing 22 beds for short-term rehabilitative stays in the facility.

Pre-leasing has begun for the new independent living apartments.

Social networking websites such as Facebook are fun ways to pass the time, but posting your personal information or opinions online can often have calamitous conse-quences.

That’s why Chesterfi eld Federal Credit Union will present “Keep-ing Yourself Safe on Facebook,” an educational seminar, from 6 to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 30, at its Chesterfi eld Courthouse Branch located at 6736 Public Safety Way in Chesterfi eld.

The seminar is touted as being for avid Facebook users.

The class is an installment in the credit union’s long-running “Mem-berSmart 101 Education” series.

Chris Miller, the marketing man-ager for Chesterfi eld Federal Credit Union, will lead the seminar.

In the past, the “MemberSmart” series has focused on fi scal themes, but Miller said the topic that will be discussed at Wednesday’s seminar is an important one.

“A lot of our seminars are

fi nancial-based, but with Facebook coming into everybody’s lives, we thought that we would branch out into a topic that concerns a lot of our members,” Miller said. “So, we wanted to be able to provide infor-mation to help them out in their everyday lives.”

Miller has been a Facebook user since September 2004, and he said it’s a great tool for maintaining con-nections with family and friends. At the same time, though, he said that posting photos on the website and others like it can sometimes lead to negative results.

According to Miller, posting pictures online isn’t an inherently dangerous action. If the photos in question depict you in a compro-mising pose, however, it might have dire consequences for your career.

“I think it depends on what they are,” Miller said. “Are you posting photos of a family vacation, or are you posting photos of a wild night out with your friends?”

“So, there could be repercussions in the future. I guess I’ve heard that the question you want to ask your-

self is if it’s a photo you would want your grandmother to see.”

For that reason, Miller suggests that users ask their friends to limit

the times that they tag, or include, them in the photographs that they post on their pages.

Posters should keep their own pictures private if they don’t want all of their friends to see them.

“I tend to recommend that

people do not allow other people to see their tagged photos. You don’t have control over what other people tag you into, so there’s something to be said for that.”

Facebook also is considered an informative and inviting forum for discussing the issues of the day. Still, it’s possible that your personal opinions could be off-putting to others, especially co-workers and supervisors.

For that reason, Miller suggests that people refrain from posting their views on social networking websites.

“I tend not to post too much, be-cause I don’t want what I say to be twisted or to be used,” Miller said. “I have a lot of work people who are also my friends on Facebook, so I don’t want to tell them all of my views, but a lot of people do, and they post everything that they think on Facebook.”

And, to a lesser degree, it’s also possible for Facebook users’ per-sonal information to be exploited.

Although Miller said that no Chesterfi eld Federal Credit Union

members’ identities have been compromised because of social net-working websites such as Facebook to his knowledge, he also said that they can be used as phishing tools.

“Has it happened?” Miller said. “I’m sure it has.”

“Is it prevalent? For the most part, Facebook is pretty secure, but it’s about what you’re doing, what you’re posting and what links you’re clicking on, and that’s very important.”

In any event, social networking website usage is widespread these days, so, for that reason, partici-pants at Wednesday evening’s class will fi nd the information useful.

“I think everybody knows some-body who is on Facebook, and, if you’re on it, you need to know about the security measures,” Miller said.

Admission to the seminar is free, and the event is open to the public.

they wanted the event to be fun and more fi lled with entertainment.”

“Also, we wanted to go with the theme and highlight cultural arts and to tie it all together. We decided to invite a few organizations to do performances throughout the evening, and we hope that, with these short performances, our guests will be inspired, motivated and entertained throughout the evening.”

The Small and Large Busi-nesses of the Year and the Member of the Year awards will be presented during the program. The names of those recipients will be withheld until Friday night.

DuPont is the event’s title sponsor and the sponsor of the Community Heroes Awards, which will be bestowed to local residents. Graham Lathrop will be given the Firefi ghter of the Year award, Det. Bradoford Conner will be honored as Police Offi cer of the Year and Paul Daszkiewicz will receive

the Teacher of the Year award. As Warren explained, it is

important to the members of the Chesterfi eld Chamber of Commerce that people in the local community are recog-nized each year at the banquet.

“The Chesterfi eld County Chamber of Commerce would not exist without its members and the community,” War-ren said. “They are the heart and soul of our organization and why the staff and board members work so hard to keep the Chamber strong.”

“We try to honor them every day by the work we do, but our annual banquet allows us to do it in the pres-ence of our membership. And, the Chesterfi eld Chamber truly is an incredible orga-nization of amazing, hard-working people, and they deserved to be recognized.”

Tickets are $60 per person at the door, and seating is lim-ited. Black tie is optional.

Evelyn Ruth Saunders and Ivan Xavier Jackson, students at Midlothian Middle

School, are serving as mes-sengers in the Senate of Vir-ginia during the 2013 session of the General Assembly.

Evelyn is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Jeffrey Saunders.

Ivan is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Jackson.

Pages and messengers reported to the State Capitol for orientation on Sunday, Jan. 6, and serve until the session adjourns on Saturday, Feb. 23.

The rigorous, three-day orientation and training program prepares Senate pages and messengers to successfully fulfi ll workplace responsibilities.

The chief duty of Senate pages and messengers is to assist the Senators during fl oor sessions and committee meetings.

In addition to their chief

responsibilities, Senate pages and messengers run errands, answer telephones, work in the bill room, post offi ce, Clerk’s Offi ce, assist in the public information offi ce, staff information desks, and speak with visiting school groups.

While in Richmond, all pages and messengers are responsible for obtaining and maintaining their school-work and assignments.

A mandatory two-hour study session is administered Monday through Thursday evenings.

Senate pages and messen-gers must be 13 or 14 years of age at the time of election or appointment.

On a rotating basis, sena-tors choose 11 of the pages while leaders appoint another fi ve, including a page for the lieutenant governor.

Senate messengers are appointed by the Clerk of the Senate at the recommenda-

tion of senators who do not make an appointment that year.

As early as 1848, nearly 100 years after the legisla-ture convened in Thomas Jefferson’s “Temple on the Hill,” the fi rst mention of pages appears in the Senate Journal.

The program has evolved into an engaging experience for students interested in his-tory, civics, government and politics.

Recognized for excellence by the Virginia Board of Edu-cation, the program prepares young people to be effective leaders and responsible citi-zens in their community.

The National Conference of State Legislatures featured Virginia’s page program in its August 2012 issue of State Legislatures magazine.

Applications are being ac-cepted for the Virginia State Parks AmeriCorps Interpre-tive Project, managed by the Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation.

Now in its third year, the summer program provides opportunities for selected AmeriCorps members to serve by actively increasing public awareness of Virginia’s natural, historical and cul-tural resources. The program also increases volunteerism at parks while improving AmeriCorps members’ job skills and leadership abilities.

Applications are accepted through April 30, but posi-tions are being fi lled immedi-ately. There are 37 positions available across the state.

Applicants must be at least 17 years old. Past participants have ranged in age from 17 to 68, from young college students to retired profes-

sionals.Interested applicants can

fi nd more information and must apply online at www.americorps.gov. For more information on the program, visit http://www.dcr.virginia.gov/parks/americorps.shtml or call 703-232-0667.

Members will receive intensive interpretive training and develop volunteer man-agement, customer service and watercraft skills. They will serve 675 hours between April and September by help-ing park staff develop, pro-mote and deliver interpretive programs for park visitors. Members also will focus on expanding park volunteer programs and encouraging local involvement in park projects.

In 2012, 27 AmeriCorps members provided 18,225 hours of service in Virginia State Parks. They also recruit-

ed 147 volunteers, who, in turn, provided more than 800 additional volunteer hours.

AmeriCorps members promoted, assisted or led 4,323 interpretive programs and engaged more than 78,000 visitors in conserva-tion education.

“I’ve grown personally in my public speaking confi -dence,” Samantha Tiver said about her AmeriCorps ser-vice at Kiptopeke State Park, April through August 2012. “I know this will be helpful in the future in job interviews, research presentations, or just talking to my co-workers. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have grown so much.”

AmeriCorps members who successfully complete a term of service are eligible to receive the Segal AmeriCorps Education Award of $2,114. The award can be used to pay education costs at qualifi ed

institutions of higher educa-tion, to pay for educational training and to repay quali-fi ed student loans.

AmeriCorps is a national service program adminis-tered through the Corpora-tion for National and Com-munity Service (CNCS).

Each year, AmeriCorps offers adults of all ages and backgrounds more than 75,000 opportunities to meet critical needs in communities across America.

The CNCS is a federal agency that engages more than 5 million Americans in service through Senior Corps, AmeriCorps, and Learn and Serve America. The corpora-tion leads President Barack Obama’s national call to service initiative, United We Serve.

CRIME REPORTGUEST COLUMNIST

Education costs rise, revenues don’tBY JIM RIDOLPHISpecial Correspondent

Like many other counties in the nation, Chesterfi eld County Public Schools are enduring another year of belt-tightening, despite a slowly recovering regional econo-

my. It’s something the system has gotten used to as the doing more with less trend continues.

The good news is local sales tax revenues are up, a positive indicator that the economic downturn is turning around. Bad news, enrollment fi gures are slightly down, and that means less money from the state funding sources.

In the past, one-time revenue payments from the federal and state governments have fi lled ever-widening gaps, but stimulus funds are exhausted and systems are feeling the crunch.

Local housing starts and permit revenues have rallied but still haven’t returned to pre-downturn levels.

The declining enrollment could be due to sev-eral factors, and many experts think it’s not a con-tinuing trend in Chesterfi eld. Some parents have opted for private schools, or have chosen to keep their kids at home for schooling. And, of course, a slow economy means less people moving into the county and fewer families having more children in economically challenged times.

It leaves many school systems depending on usually dependable funds that are running short. Eventually, that means potential cuts in teacher positions. Salaries represent the largest spending item for the system.

The bottom line is keeping up is getting harder and harder for school systems, and fi nding addi-tional funding is not an easy chore. Many systems, like Chesterfi eld, face enormous renovation and maintenance on many aging campuses. Continuing to keep pace with new buses, better textbooks and the latest technical innovations will become harder and harder.

At a time when the American education system is under attack by global competitors who graduate better prepared students for world markets, doing more with less is probably short of the mark when it comes to educating our children.

Educators, parents and administrators have long recognized the importance of quality education in Chesterfi eld County. Maintaining those high stan-dards will become increasingly diffi cult as budget restraints and demands escalate.

Elected offi cials are considering diffi cult choices to meet those growing demands, and some of the options include tax increases on local real estate. It’s an option no elected body likes to consider, but is sometimes necessary to meet the demands of a growing community, especially its youngest and most vulnerable members.

Hopefully, the answer lies in an ever-improving local economy that could provide the funds needed to meet the multiple demands of Chesterfi eld County. In the end, that remedy provides the most sure-fi re and sustainable method of solving the funding problems of schools and other agencies in the county.

CONTRIBUTED REPORTThe Long & Foster® Har-

bour Pointe offi ce in Midlothian marked its 22nd year participating in the U.S. Marine Corps Reserves annual Toys for Tots program by collecting more than 500 dona-tions of new, unwrapped gifts.

“We take great pride in being able to once again assist this worthy cause and to help give the needy children in our com-munities a happier holiday,” Amy Enoch, broker of the Harbour Pointe offi ce, said. “For more than two decades, Long & Foster and its affi liated businesses have remained committed to helping provide a better holiday season to children in need within our community.”

The toys collected by the Harbour Pointe offi ce ranged from dolls to games to bicycles, and were delivered to the Marines’ Toys for Tots distribution center on Dec. 14 and 18.

The Marines distribute the donations to local churches and welfare agencies to benefi t less fortunate and fi nancially and/or

physically disadvantaged children within the community.

“The community was very generous in their donations to this wonderful program and we thank everyone who was able to give. It is a wonderful feeling to know that we were able to help ensure that a child who might not otherwise receive a gift in this season of giv-ing now will,” Enoch said.

Long & Foster employees and agents from the Harbour Pointe offi ce participated in the an-nual holiday event along with the middle school children of Guard-ian Christian Academy and their

teacher, Andrea Cottrill. The U.S. Marine Corps Toys for

Tots program began with a single campaign in 1947.

In 2011, Toys for Tots realized its greatest revenue ever at $252 million, and distributed nearly 16 million toys to more than 7 million children, despite a sluggish economy, according to the U.S. Marine Corps.

Long & Foster contributed by collecting thousands of new toys throughout the company’s Mid-Atlantic footprint during last year’s campaign.

Dance enthusiasts will enjoy the variety of dexterous performances that will appear during

the annual Virginia Dance Festival scheduled for Saturday, Jan. 26, at James River High School at 3700 James River Road in Midlothian.

The event will take place during two shows that will happen at 3 and 7 p.m.

Proceeds from the charitable event will benefi t the Children’s Hospital of Richmond.

According to Jessica Morgan, the event’s organizer and the owner of Jessica Morgan’s School of Dance in Midlothian, the festival has raised more than $155,000 for the health facility.

Morgan said she was originally inspired to make the Children’s Hospital of Richmond the event’s benefi ciary after two of her former students were treated there.

“Well, when I founded the event 13 years ago, I had several ideas that came to my heart and mind about doing it, and two of my dancers who passed on because of leukemia and cancer were taken care of so well at Children’s Hospital,” Morgan said. “And, my dancers are so healthy and talented, and I thought that it would help other children for them to give their time and talent back to them.”

Morgan said she thinks the event has been successful for so long

because the other local dance com-panies that take part also support the idea of performing to help the Children’s Hospital of Richmond.

“Well, I think the success lies

in the fact that the directors of the other organizations feel like I do,” Morgan said. “It gives them an opportunity to perform for a good cause.”

Morgan explained that two shows have been planned to accommodate the sheer number of acts involved.

A variety of dance genres will be presented, including ballroom, hip-

hop, jazz and tap, and Morgan said that newcomers such as the Bavarian Dance Group will perform at the Virginia Dance Festival for the fi rst time in 2013.

A majority of the dance compa-nies will participate in both perfor-mances, but if attendees want to see them all, they’ll have to stay for both shows.

“Well, each group has a choice to be in one show or both, depending on their availability, and most do both shows,” Morgan said. “We do have maybe two or three that can

only do one show, but the shows are somewhat similar.”

Although the event has included a silent auction component in past years, this year marks the fi rst time that outside vendors will be present during the proceedings.

“We are still taking items, and we need as much help as we can, but we’re allowing vendors to come in this year,” Morgan said. “They pay a fee for a booth, and they can display and sell their items.”

“We’re trying to fi nd new ways to increase donations. So, we’re going to have vendors with things like fi nger foods, jewelry and children’s clothing, and this is the fi rst time we’ve ever allowed that.”

Morgan said there are several rea-sons why the Virginia Dance Festival is a can’t-miss event.

“It’s a great way to spend two and a half to three hours enjoying the dance styles while supporting Children’s Hospital of Richmond,” Morgan said. “It’s an enjoyable time to shop, see a show and support a great event.”

Tickets for the individual perfor-mances at either 3 or 7 p.m. are $10 for ages 3 to 11 or $12 for ages 12 and up at the door, but combined ticket prices for both shows are $15 for ages 3 to 11 or $18 for ages 12 and up.

That’s racin’Arena racing the cure for race fans going through off-season withdrawalsBY BRUCE WELLSSports Editor

What’s 9 feet long, weighs roughly 740 pounds, is capable of reaching speeds of 100 mph, and runs on a track that can fi t within the confi nes of a hockey rink?

Here’s a hint, it’s not a hockey puck.

The answer is a race car, but not just any race car. Welcome to the world of Arena Racing USA, a type of racing that is totally different from what most NASCAR enthusiasts are used to see-ing. The half-scale stock cars race indoors on a 1/10-mile banked aluminum track that is built to fi t inside a hockey rink.

One of the unique fea-tures of Arena Racing USA is that if the weather is too wet or cold outside for racing, that’s no problem since the cars do battle under roof in the well-ventilated venue of the Richmond Coliseum where cars race in a 12-race schedule that runs from De-cember 29 through April 20.

While still relatively new to the Richmond area, Arena Racing USA has been active in Virginia since 2003, when it began staging events at the Hampton Coliseum and the Norfolk Scope. The concept is growing in popularity, according to Ricky Dennis, founder and CEO of Arena Racing USA, as spectators get to see the cars rocket around the mini tracks at speeds of around 50 mph with lap times on average of eight seconds.

Racing has been in Dennis’ blood since he was a youngster watching his dad Bill Dennis, a local racer from Richmond. The elder Dennis, who made his debut with a 15th place fi nish in 1962 at the Capital City 300, had a successful career, competing in 83 races against such racing legends as Richard Petty, David Pearson, Buddy Baker, Cale Yarborough, and Bobby Al-lison. In 1970 while driving a full schedule for another Richmond native and NAS-CAR racing legend Junie Donlavey, Dennis earned the NASCAR Winston Cup Rookie of the Year award in the Grand National Series which we now know as the Sprint Cup Series.

The elder Dennis also won the Permatex 300 at Daytona three consecutive years (1972-1973-1974), a feat matched only by the late Dale Earnhardt and Dale Earnhardt, Jr, and later sur-passed by Tony Stewart, who won four consecutive from 2008-2011.

Ricky Dennis followed his father into racing in 1982 when at the age of 22; he bought his fi rst race car. After a few years of driving, Dennis partnered with Rick Townsend to form Townsend Racing Products in 1984.

“Between racing and

building cars, I got so busy within a few years that I had to choose one or the other, so I chose the one that paid the bills, and that was build-ing cars,” Dennis says.

In 1992, Dennis attended a hockey game at the Rich-mond Coliseum with his cousin. It was there that the idea for arena racing was fi rst conceived.

“I heard my cousin got excited watching hockey games, so I went to watch him because he never got ex-cited about anything,” Den-nis says. “I saw him actually get excited, but all I could see in my head were scaled-down race cars running around the arena. I thought it would be neat to have fans so close to the action. That’s kind of how this whole idea came about, and then I got started trying to make it happen. The vision was born and it has consumed me ever since.”

His vision became a reality in 1993 when he fi rst tested the concept in the Richmond Coliseum on a $28,000 wooden track and 50 cars with no suspension.

“It wasn’t that bad, but I think we were just ahead of the right time to do some-thing like this,” said Dennis. “So I went back to work building race cars and I told myself that if I was ever go-ing to make this idea work, I was going to do it right. I never forgot about it.”

Dennis eventually found the funds needed to make a second attempt at getting Arena Racing USA off the ground. Arena Racing USA offi cially debuted in Norfolk, Virginia in 2002.

In the summer of 2005 Ricky Dennis secured the investment and partnership commitment of several key people in the motorsports industry - Gary Becker, for-merly of PACE Motorsports, Joe Gibbs, owner of Joe Gibbs Racing and the leg-endary former Head Coach of the Washington Redskins and Norm Miller, Chairman of Interstate Batteries. Spon-sorship partners include among others Snap-on Tools; Richmond based Woodfi n Oil, and Papa John’s Pizza.

“I’m a fi rm believer in this,” Gibbs says. “It provides great competition at a time of year when motorsports is typically dormant. Plus, it’s a cost effective way to get started in racing.”

Chesterfi eld native and current NASCAR driver Denny Hamlin is an Arena Racing Alumni. He raced and won in Norfolk the fi rst season of Arena Racing in 2002-03 and met Dale Earn-hardt Jr. there.

“I drove in the Arena Racing series a few years ago in Norfolk and it was awe-some,” said Hamlin. “It’s an ingenious idea and I like it a

Trojans’ rebuilding efforts beginning to pay off in victoriesBY FRED JETERContributing Writer

Last year David Brohl played a coach’s hunch and made an investment in Midlothian High basketball futures.

Sooner, perhaps, than expected, that investment is yielding returns.

In 2012, Brohl’s Trojans had arguably the Central Region’s most-whipper-snapper lineup – a fresh-man and two sophomore starters.

This winter, experience gained from a year ago –albeit painful at times – is paying off in victories and a long-overdue resi-dency near the Dominion District’s upper tier.

“We only won fi ve games my fi rst year (2011) with mostly seniors playing – there was nothing to build on,” said Brohl.

“I fi gured if we’re going to lose, we’ll lose with younger kids, let them get the experience.”

The Trojans were 7-16 last year with freshman Korey Turner and sophomores Justin Ulshafer and Luke Milanovic gaining varsity confi dence.

That set the tempo for a coming-out party this winter in Brohl’s third season wear-ing blue and gold.

The Trojans posted six straight victories, Dec. 14 through Jan. 11, before drop-ping a 54-51 home decision to Cosby Jan. 17 before a rau-cous student section (“Midlo Madness”) that didn’t lose voice until three potentially game-tying treys rimmed out

in fi nal 10 seconds.The loss dropped Midlo

to 9-4 overall and 5-4 in Dominion. That’s a colossal up-tick from what has been a disappointing 21st century of hoops on Colony Charter Parkway.

Between 2006 and start of this season, the Trojans were 40-116 overall. The last win-ning season was a 13-11 mark in 2000.

While its cross coun-try, tennis, golf and other suburban sports have enjoyed perennial success, Midlo boys hoops has long been some-thing of an after thought.

Only district titles were in 1961, when Midlo was a rural outpost, and 1987, when Everett Watkins-led MHS reached State quarterfi nals before bowing to Indian Riv-er, starring Alonzo Mourning, at Robins Center.

Brohl hopes to change the culture with some exciting youngsters. Here’s a peek at the cast:

Midlothian, Monacan, Clover Hill take championships at Tiger InvitationalFrom Staff Reports

Four Dominion District wrestlers claimed championships on Saturday at the J.R. Tucker Tiger Invitational.

In an intense 152-pound cham-pionship, Clover Hill’s Jordan Miles grabbed a 3-2 decision win over Mark Robinson of J.R. Tucker. The two were tied 2-2 going into the third, but Miles’ escape point gave him the 3-2 win.

“It just feels good. I’m so thankful man, God is good,” Miles said. “This is my fi rst time ever getting a fi rst place. I’ve been to the fi nals many times. . . . I’m just thankful. I’m proud.”

Midlothian’s Kyle Clark and Hen-rico’s Ammar Jabbar faced off for the 220 crown. Jabbar jumped out to a 4-0 lead after the fi rst period and scored a takedown in the second. Clark got two escape points and two takedown points before pinning Jabbar late in the second period. Clark, who has only been back on the mat for about a month -- in June, he tore his ACL, MCL and his meniscus in addition to breaking two bones in his knee -- was named the most outstanding heavy-weight wrestler. As a team, Midlothian fi nished fi fth overall.

The other Central Region cham-pions from the Dominion District was Monacan’s Jake Lemacks (113 pounds).

Wingo-Reeves commits to University of Virginia

Monacan linebacker Connor Wingo-Reeves has verbally commit-ted to Virginia a little more than fi ve months after pledging to Temple

Wingo-Reeves was named second-team All-Metro after recording 92 tackles, two pass break ups and two interceptions this past season. The se-nior could play a number of positions at Virginia, including middle lineback-er, tight end, fullback or defensive end if he puts on more weight.

Virginia linebackers coach Vincent Brown contacted him just before Christmas to let him know the coach-ing staff had seen his senior tape and was considering offering him a scholarship. Virginia had recruited him previously but never offered. The chance to play in the ACC and play closer to home fi nally arrived, and Wingo-Reeves (6-foot-3 225 pounds) accepted on the spot.

“They’re both great schools,” Wingo-Reeves said. “I just couldn’t turn down U.Va.”

Cosby’s Pollard shows off skills at East Coast Invitational

At the East Coast Invitational in the Arthur Ashe Center last week, Cosby’s Joseph Pollard showcased his skills in

the high jump, 55-meter dash and the 800-meter relay.

In the high jump, Pollard battled Glen Allen’s Maurice Goode for the event’s top spot. He cleared 5 feet, 10 inches on his second attempt before Goode fouled out, leaving Pollard victorious. Having already won, he attempted to clear what would have been a Cosby record at 6 feet, but was unsuccessful.

In the 55 meters, Pollard, a senior, gave Glen Allen’s Oliver Smith all he could, but a slow start kept him from taking the victory. Pollard fi nished third with a time of 6.86 seconds.

“My starts have always been kind of slow,” Pollard said. “We’ve been working on getting out of the blocks a lot faster.”

Running in the middle lane in the fi rst leg of the 800 relay, Pollard got behind after another slow start, but rebounded to give the Titans the lead about 150 meters in. Ultimately, it was the lead he built in the fi nal meters of his leg that proved the most benefi cial as Cosby won with a time of 1:42.92.

“Joe is one of those kids that does everything that I ask of him, no ques-tions asked. He’s real quiet, doesn’t say much. But he leads by example,” Cosby coach Bryan Still said. “Joe performed about exactly as I expected him to.”

Richmond Flying Squirrels land Will ‘The Thrill’ Clark

The Richmond Flying Squirrels have announced the addition of six-time MLB All-Star Will “The Thrill” Clark to the lineup of baseball luminaries slated to attend their 3rd Annual Hot Stove Banquet at the Stuart C. Siegel Center at VCU on January 31st.

Clark joins former Flying Squirrels’ left-hander Eric Surkamp who will return to Richmond for the fi rst time since claiming the Eastern League ERA title in 2011, Chris Heston the 2012 Eastern league ERA champ, Tommy Joseph the Flying Squirrels’ starting catcher last season before being traded to the Philadelphia Phillies by the Giants for Hunter Pence, fan favorite and three-year Squirrel Da-ryl Maday. Flying Squirrels’ Pitching Coach and former Baltimore Orioles’ great Ross Grimsley will also be take part in the event.

The 3rd Annual banquet will be held to benefi t, and in partnership with the VCU baseball program. All proceeds will benefi t the Paul Keyes Memorial Schol-arship Fund, and will di-rectly aid in the funding of the Rams baseball program. Many former Rams greats will return to Richmond to take part in the banquet and honor their coach.

“Along with our friends at VCU, we have felt the loss of Coach Keyes tremen-dously,” said Squirrels Vice President/COO Todd “Par-ney” Parnell.. “Besides being a wonderfully gifted teacher of the game, he was integral to the success of baseball in this region and also to the founding of the Flying Squirrels. We are extremely proud that we can help the

Rams during the Hot Stove as they carry on his legacy, and we know that partner-ing with them will only enhance the signifi cance of the event.”

The banquet will include a plated dinner, drinks, silent and live auctions, a celebrity meet & greet, an autograph session and a formal program featuring celebrity guests. Individual tickets for the event are $75 for Flying Squirrels’ season ticket and mini-plan hold-ers, and $100 for the general public. Fans who purchase 2013 season tickets or mini-plans in advance of the event will receive the discounted ticket rate for the banquet. For more information or to purchase individual tickets for the banquet, please contact the Flying Squirrels’ Ticket Department at (804) 359-FUNN (3866) or you may log on to SquirrelsBaseball.com.

Drafted by the San Fran-cisco Giants with the No. 2 pick overall in the 1985 amateur draft, Clark made his Major League debut the following season. On open-ing day 1986, he announced his presence with authority by hitting a home run in his fi rst Major League at-bat off future Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan. During his sopho-more season in 1987, Clark established himself as one of the top fi rst baseman in the league by hitting .308 with 35 home runs and 91 RBIs as the Giants reached the postseason by winning the National League West-ern Division. The Giants would lose the NLCS to the St. Louis Cardinals, but Clark would hit .360 with a home run and three RBIs.

In 1988, Clark led the National League with 109 RBIs while also hitting 29 home runs. He followed that up with best season as a Giant. He once again drove in more than 100 runs - 111 to be exact, while also hitting a career best .333, which was good enough for second in the National League as the Giants once again reached the postsea-son. This time, the Giants won the NLCS in large part to the heroics of Clark. During the series against the Cubs, Clark hit .650 with two home runs and eight RBIs. For his efforts, he was named the series’ Most Valuable Player.

Clark would continue to put up solid numbers for the Giants over the next four seasons, includ-ing a 116 RBI performance in 1991 before leaving as a free agent following the 1993 season to sign with the Texas Rangers, who he helped to reach the postseason for the fi rst time in their history in 1996 and again in 1998

In 15 seasons, he hit .303 with 284 home runs and 1,205 RBIs . He also received six All-Star selec-tions (1988, '89, '90, '91, '92, and 1994).

While best known for his years with the Giants (1986-1993) and Texas Rangers (1994-1998), Clark also spent a season and a half with the Baltimore Orioles (1999-2000) before being traded to the St. Louis Cardinals for the fi nal two months of the 2000 season and helped the Cardinals reach the postseason.

lot. It gives racers the oppor-tunity to either begin their racing careers or just have the time of their lives.”

Dennis says the goal of Arena Racing USA is to give competitors a chance to get experience behind the wheel

as well as getting the chance to feel like a big-league driver.

“We want them to look and feel like celebrities because in my eyes they are,” Dennis says. “This is an experience they get to feel at a very affordable level. They

get to become a race car driver if they’ve never raced a day in their life. When they walk in the track here at the Coliseum, those drivers know they had better have a Sharpie and a strong hand because they are going to sign a lot of autographs.”

“Lil’ Brother” has a smooth release from distance plus ample giddy-up to attack rim.

Ulshafer: A native of South Korea, the 5-11 junior is adopted son of Susan and John Ulshafer. He averages 10 points and is choreogra-pher of half-court set. Oppo-nents fall prey to his dreaded pump fake and go pattern.

Milanovic: Offi cially, the long-limbed junior is 6-4, but seems taller with his bushy mane; he pounds the glass and has deft shooting touch. Milanovic scores cre-

ate chants of “Luuuuke” in bleachers.

Frosh Phenom: A new-comer from Illinois, gangly 6-4 Jordan Cross may be Dominion freshman of year. Brohl shows so much confi dence in Cross, he had his ninth grader guarding Cosby ace Troy Caupain in late stages.

Seniors: Kevin Moreland averages 15 points, has hit as many as fi ve treys in a game and is Men of Troy’s best bet for All-Dominion. Madison Day, fresh off the football fi eld, is a physical, lock-down defender.

Moreland has talent and

moxie to play small college hoops; Day has similar foot-ball potential.

As for the whippersnap-pers, we’re talking tip of iceberg in terms of upside.

Next year Midlo antici-pates moving into its much more spacious, under-con-struction gym.

The new facility, with double capacity and consid-erably more fl oor space, will simplify practice schedules, enable Midlo to host District tournament … and stir the competitive pot.w

It’s a pot that is already bubbling and fi gures to get hotter.
