Lancaster crushes Middlesex, 58-12
by Lisa Hinton-Valdrighi
Taylor Woolard and Tyrell Henderson teamed up for
three touchdowns to lead Lancaster in a 58-12 rout of
Middlesex last Friday in varsity football.
Six different players scored for the Devils, who
improved to 3-0 and will host Northampton Friday,
September 26.
Henderson caught the long balls, scoring off pass
plays of 11, 61 and 53 yards. He led Lancaster’s receivers with five catches for 134 yards and three scores.
Woolard was near perfect in the pocket, completing 9-of-10 passes for 195 yards and four touchdowns.
Along with three TD passes to Henderson, Woolard
also hit Darik Reed on a 38-yard scoring pass. Reed
caught two passes for 51 yards on the night.
Lancaster amassed 431 yards total offense to Middlesex’s 285 with 195 of the Devils’ yards coming in the
air. LHS rushers gained 236 yards on the ground with
Woolard keeping the ball three times for 63 yards and
DeVante Stewart toting the football eight times for 52
yards. RayQwaun Ball had one carry for a 42-yard TD
and Justin Washington rushed five times for 38 yards
and scored off a one-yard run.
Stewart opened the scoring with a nine-yard run
just a minute and a half into the game and Woolard hit
Tyrell Henderson for two of his three TD catches to go
up 24-6 after the first quarter.
Lancaster added another three scores in the second
quarter, with Shawn Sutton rushing for a nine-yard
TD and Woolard hitting Tyrell Henderson and Reed to
lift the Devils to a 44-6 halftime lead.
Washington had his one-yard scoring run late in
the third and Ball capped the scoring with a 42-yard
scramble in the fourth.
Rasul Henderson led Lancaster’s defense with nine
tackles, including seven solos. He carried the ball for
three two-point conversions.
Trevon Henderson had 7.5 tackles with six solos
and an interception and Tyrell Henderson and James
Coleman got in on 6.5 tackles each.

Red Devils runners remain competitive
by Lisa Hinton-Valdrighi
Lancaster’s Mary Frere was the
individual medalist among varsity
runners last Wednesday in a tri-meet
at Washington & Lee.
Eighth-grader Jennifer Broglin of
W&L paced the pack of 28 runners
with a time of 21:57. However, Broglin is a JV runner and her finish did
not count in team scoring.
Frere ran a 22:24 and teammate Vilisha Waller came in 20 seconds later
in 22:42 as the runner-up.
W&L had four runners finish in the
top 10 to win a close girls race with
a low score of 39. The Lady Eagles
beat the second-place Chargers by
just three points. Middlesex scored 42
points and edged Lancaster by only
a point. The Lady Devils were third
with 43 points.

The Fishing Line

up well. Sizes remain around the
3/4-pound class. The bloodworm
population also takes a big hit in
late September and early October, as that is the preferred bait
among anglers.
The mouth of the Rappahannock River is a popular area at
this time. From Broad Creek to
Gwynn’s Island you can gather
a nice catch. You may have to
look around a bit to find that
good hard bottom or oyster bed,
but when you do, the cooler will
get small quick. I do encourage
anglers to only keep the number
of fish that they can comfortably
clean and eat. Instead of wasting a precious resource, practice
The Fall Equinox has arrived
in classic fashion, cool and
breezy. Continued cool nights
have reduced the bay water temperature to 73 degrees with the
rivers registering slightly less.
This drop in temperature promotes great fishing.
Bottom fishing continues to
be popular among anglers in
the rivers. A variety of species is
available throughout the region,
and most are within the range of
even the smallest boats.
With spot fishing blossoming,
the oyster beds and hard bottoms have been steadily worked
over. Despite heavy fishing in the
lower rivers, catches are holding
catch and release after your personal need is reached.
Flounder remain available
as they are spread out over the
region. There are few truly hot
spots, yet legal fish are being
landed in the lower rivers, the
Cell, and along the channel
edges as they begin to migrate.
Strips of squid or cut bait works
well when fished behind a bucktail jigged along the bottom.
Gulp baits also work well in this
application.
Chumming has been showing
promise with the best locations
this week being in the Potomac
River off of Lewisetta and on
the S.W. Middle Grounds. They

continue to swell with bluefish
up to four pounds. The lumps
on the S.W. Middle Grounds are
also holding some stripers, but
consist of mainly 2- to 4-pound
bluefish
In Virginia waters, the artificial
reefs are holding mostly bluefish
with a mix of a few drum and
rockfish in the catches. Many of
the drum have fallen into the legal
(18”-26”) slot limit this week.
The rockfish season opens on
October 4, so we have a week to
find them before they are targeted
and become dinner.
Trolling action has also been
good this week. Most of the action
has been either blind trolling over
schools of shiners or near a few
picking birds. Surface feeding
schools are rare, yet when a school
is located, a mess of fish can be
landed without difficulty. I have
noticed that the fish, especially
Spanish mackerel are holding
over the deeper water of the channel edges more than in the shallow
water. This is a distinct sign of the
fall migration. Sometimes a #2
planer is helpful in reaching the
deeper schools. The mackerel are
running large this week with a few
tipping the scales at over 4 pounds.
On your next trip, don’t forget to
share the fishing experience with a
friend. Explore new locations and
friendships. You will soon come
to realize there is much more to
fishing than merely catching. I
will share a quote that comes to
mind: “Your headiest success as
an angler begins when you care
more about fishing than the fish”

Hardy anglers compete
in Grab Bag tournament
The Northern Neck Anglers Club (NNAC) recently
announced the results of the September 12-14 Grab Bag Tournament. Target species included Spanish mackerel, speckled
trout, spot and puppy drum.
Tournament competition was suspended on Friday, September 12, and Sunday, September 14, due to Small Craft Advisory conditions, reported club secretary Mark Roy.
Bob Reed snagged first place in the Spanish Mackerel division with a 2-pound, 4-ounce fish. Jim Shimchick placed
second with a 2-pounder and Emmett Boyd was third with a
1-pound, 14-ounce catch.
Jam Jamrog hooked a 1-pound, 5-ounce speckled trout for
first place in that division with the only entry for judging.
In the spot division, John Elkin and Stuart McKenzie each
caught an 8-ounce fish. The tiebreaker went to Elkin for weighing in his catch first. McKenzie placed second and Jamrog
claimed third with a 3-ouncer.
There were no entries in the puppy drum division, said Roy.
First- and second-place finishers will receive a gift certificate from a club sponsor, he said. First-place finishers also
will receive a commemorative plaque. All tournament participants received points for the Angler-of-the-Year contest.
Upcoming events
The NNAC will meet at 7 p.m. Saturday, October 4, at the
Lancaster Community Library, 235 School Street, Kilmarnock. Roy and Capt. Dave Compton will discuss various
techniques for catching rockfish. The meeting is open to nonmembers.

Electronics of Hartfield, is slated for October 10-12. Target
species include rockfish, bluefish and speckled trout.
A Bonus Rockfish tournament is slated November 29

Yankee Point sailors win Rappahannock Cup
Y
ankee Point Racing & Cruising
Club took the Rappahannock Cup
from Rappahannock River Yacht Club
September 20 and 21.
This event was established in 1983 at
which time a third club, Urbanna Yacht
Club, also competed, reported Arabella Denvir of Premier Sailing. The cup
has gone back and forth between these
clubs for many years but had stubbornly
remained on display in the clubhouse of
RRYC for the past nine years.
The event was raced over the weekend with two races on Saturday and one
on Sunday, said Denvir. Winds ranged
from light to moderate and a cloudy sky
made the sailing very pleasant. There
were two fleets, spinnaker and non-spinnaker. Results for each fleet are below.
Adding up sailors points to make up the
team points gave 47 points to Yankee Point
and 52 points to RRYC (lowest score ;EVVIR,SXXPIEFSEVH']KRIXLMW'EXEPMRE
wins), giving Yankee Point a comfortable TPEGIH½VWXMRXLIRSRWTMRREOIVGPEWW
lead.
In the spinnaker class, Sam Marshall placed first aboard Play it Again, Dwight Timm
placed second aboard Silver Fox and Joel Dugan placed third aboard Ellen G.
In the non-spinnaker class, Warren Hottle placed first aboard Cygnet, Pete Knight placed
second aboard Salute and Tommy Asch placed third aboard Moya.

year recently from employees at Virginia American Water of Warsaw.
School supplies are collected annually by Virginia American Water employees and donated as
part of their “Supplies for Success” school drive,
now in its third year. “Our Supplies for Success
initiative is one of the most popular volunteer
initiatives we do,” said Virginia American Water
Operations Superintendent Joyce Creel. “This
year, employees donated more than 150 items,
valued at about $150. Since we started the pro-
gram three years ago, we have donated hundreds
of dollars in supplies to area schools.”
The Supplies for Success program, with a mission of helping to equip students with the school
tools they need to succeed, now exists in many
communities across America. It is believed to
have been started in Long Island, N.Y., by the
UJA Federation of New York in 2001.
“Everyone in the community knows us for
water service. It’s very gratifying to also be a part
of something else that’s critical to a community’s
success – education for children,” said Virginia
American Water president William R. Walsh.

Sorority bakes cookies for teachers
Members of the Alpha Omega Chapter,
Delta Kappa Gamma recently prepared over
60 bags of homemade cookies for new teachers and staff in Lancaster and Northumberland
schools.
This has been an annual project for the chapter for a number of years and takes place of the
first fall meeting, reported Anne O’Bryant.
Members look forward to welcoming new
teachers to the area, said O’Bryant. One of
the goals of the chapter is to support young
educators as well as experienced ones in new
positions.
The local chapter has been in existence since
1967. It provides service to education, teachers and children through various projects.
NPL Story Hour resumes October 2
Story Hour resumes at 10
a.m. on October 2 and continues twice monthly on Thursdays through May 2015 at
the Northumberland Public
Library, 7204 Northumberland
Highway, Heathville.
Each Story Hour, for ages
3 through 6 consists of songs,
poems, stories, a craft and a
snack. A brief playtime will
follow when possible. Story
Hours are intended to entertain children while introducing them to some foundations
of reading readiness. A Story
Hour provides social interaction, builds listening skills and
some of the basic understandings about books, said children’s programs coordinator
Jan Bates.
“All these activities help
the children become lovers
of books which in turn will
prepare them to become readers themselves someday,” said
Bates. “It’s a gift parents can
give their child before they
start school, and it’s free.”
To be added to a reminder
list, contact Bates at jbates@

Specialty pumpkins growing in popularity
Plump orange pumpkins are
ripening in the field, scattered
on the ground like so many
harvest moons.
In those same fields, there
also might be white pumpkins, green pumpkins, striped
pumpkins, miniature pumpkins and a host of other varieties that are growing in popularity. They have names like
Cinderella, Cotton Candy and
New Moon. Not only are they
multi-colored, they are multipurpose.
Steve Gallmeyer of Gallmeyer Farms in Henrico
County grows 27 acres of
pumpkins, both traditional and
specialty varieties, that he sells
wholesale and through a pickyour-own operation.
“Some of the specialty varieties with their odd shapes
and odd colors don’t show the
effects of an uneven growing
season as readily as others,”
said Gallmeyer.
He noted that the growing
season in his area has been
“spotty” with a deficit in rainfall, but he’s optimistic about
his crop this year. “It’s a big
improvement over the very
wet growing season of 2013.”
Elsewhere in Virginia,
pumpkin growers have seen
hot and dry weather followed
by cool and wet weather.
“Though there have been
weather issues, it is looking
like a pretty fair crop,” said
Virginia Farm Bureau Federation commodity marketing
specialist Tony Banks.
Many of the specialty
pumpkins Gallmeyer grows
are used for fall decorating,
along with gourds. Crafty
customers often transform his
bottle gourds into birdhouses
and even musical maracas.
Gallmeyer said some of the
specialty pumpkins can be
re-purposed from decorative
items into pies. He grows a
small pie pumpkin variety as
well; the smaller pumpkins
tend to be less fibrous than the
larger varieties and may have a
higher sugar content, he said.
Pumpkin contest

Giant

Contest,
pumpkin poundage is the primary goal, and the enormous

The contest weigh-in will be

Some giant varieties of
pumpkins can tip the scale
at over 1,000 pounds; the
current fair record is 1,138
pounds. The contest offers a
$100 bonus to the grower who
breaks that record.
There also will be special
awards for the prettiest and the

Gilbert Graves takes his
job at Riverside Health System’s Walter Reed Hospital
extremely seriously. He has
to.
While he may not be a physician, nurse or direct provider of patient care, if he
doesn’t do his job and do it
well, people’s lives would be
at risk.
“In many ways, we do the
most important job here,” said
Graves, the hospital’s operations supervisor for its Environmental Services Department. “We are the first line
of defense in keeping germs
away from here. We protect
the patients, the hospital and
the general public.”
The importance of that job
is not lost on Graves, his team
of 19, or Walter Reed’s leadership.
“Environmental Services
is an integral part of the Riverside Walter Reed family,”
said service line chief Fredrick Arnold, M.D. “Twenty
four hours a day, seven days a
week, this team is responsible
for the care and cleanliness of
the facility, our campus and
the patient and visitor environment. When there’s an
emergency, when physicians
and nurses get called in, so
does Environmental Services.
When it’s snowing or a hurricane is bearing down on
us, they are here, too. We are
grateful for the job they perform each day, keeping our
staff, patients, visitors and
families safe.”
September 14 to 20 is
National Healthcare Environmental Services and Housekeeping Week, an awareness
event led by the Association
for the Healthcare Environment (AHE) to recognize
the extraordinary teamwork
required to care for the healthcare environment patients are
treated in, according to the
American Hospital Association.
The environmental services team at Walter Reed,
“keeps the hospital clean to
prevent infections and further
spreading of germs that bring
patients into the hospital to
begin with,” said Graves.
Every time a patient is discharged, his team cleans the
rooms and beds from top to
bottom.
“It usually takes a good
hour to clean one room,”
said second shift supervisor
Steven Hogue. “And we go
from top to bottom. You can’t
miss one thing in this job. It’s
that important.”
In a one-month period over
the summer, Graves’ team was
responsible for turning over
348 beds across the 67-bed
hospital.
“We end up wearing all
kinds of masks around here,”
Graves said. “We do keep
the hospital germ free, but
we are also here to help. We
assist patients in and out in
their wheelchairs, perform
security, help change tires in
the parking lot and even jump
start cars. It’s about making
sure everyone is safe and
well cared for. I joke about us
being the most important job
around here, but the reality is
we all come together for the
patient. From the physician
to environmental services, we
all play an important role.”
