Middlesex High School senior George (Ridge) Ellis finished second in the 1A State 132-pound division wrestling tournament Friday at Salem. Ellis rallied from a 3-0 deficit, but lost 3-2 to Austin Tolbert of George Wythe High School in the finals.

Ellis is the first Charger grappler to win a runner-up spot in state competi-tion.

Due to the bad weather, the 1A State championships were held in a single-day, first-round elimination format. Usually, the state championships are a two-day, double-elimination event.

The Chargers had four other wres-tlers to finish fifth in their weight divisions in the championship tourna-ment.

Middlesex Coach Joel Anderson said Ellis “wrestled fearlessly” in his attempt to reach his season goal of winning a state title.

In his first match, Ellis defeated Connor Widener of Chilhowie High School 8-3.

This advanced Ellis to the second round where he faced William Pipkin of Northumberland. In the first period, Ellis went up 2-1 scoring an early takedown. During the second period, he scored an escape and another quick takedown to up his lead to 5-1. Pipkin came back in the third period to score 3 points, but Ellis scored on an escape and had two more takedowns to win the match 10-4.

During the championship match against Tolbert, the first period fin-ished scoreless. In the second period, Tolbert scored a point on an escape for a 1-0 lead. In the final period, Ellis attempted a takedown, but Tolbert scrambled and took down Ellis for a 3-0 lead.

Ellis fought back and scored 2 points on an escape to narrow Tol-bert’s lead to 3-2. With just seconds left in the contest, Ellis went on the offensive but was unable to score the tying point.

“I have never seen a boy work as hard and leave everything on the mat like George Ellis,” said Coach Ander-son.

Last year Ellis, who is also an All-State performer in cross-country and track, finished fifth in the state in the 138-pound division. The 132-pound weight class was won last year by Middlesex’s Simon Urban, who became the first Charger in school history to win a state wrestling title. Ellis is the first MHS grappler to be a state runner-up.

“We are so proud of what our team has accomplished this season and we are proud of all of our Middlesex High School grapplers!” said Coach Anderson.

Coach Anderson also thanked assistant coach Will Moore, who has been coaching with Anderson for 6

years, and assistant coaches Wayne Mount, Brett Shields, and Bob Fleck for all their “hard work and dedication to the program.”

Rural Retreat High School won the team championship with 176.5 points. Region A schools to place were Lancaster, fifth, 46 points; Mathews, sixth, 45 points; Northumberland, eighth, 41 points; Essex, ninth, 40 points; Middlesex, 17th, 14 points; and King and Queen, 19th, 6 points.

The Middlesex Shoot-ing Sports Club (MSSC) in Hartfield is celebrating its 15th year of operation. The club was chartered in December 1999 and started operations in Febru-ary 2000. The club is a facility where local outdoor enthusiasts come to target shoot and receive training in marksmanship and outdoor skills.

According to club president Richard Selph, “Today MSSC has one of the best outdoor shooting ranges in the state and we are always striving to become better and better.”

The shooting range has 32 covered firing points for rifle and pistol shooters and four regulation skeet, trap and 5-stand fields for shotgun enthusiasts. The club also has a 3,600-square-foot clubhouse that is used for membership meetings and training classes, and can be used for social events like weddings and recep-tions.

Membership in the club costs $80 per year with a one-time

$50 initiation fee. Each member can bring as many guests as they can safely supervise and any adult family member living with a club member can join for free. All of the activities at the range are supervised by range safety officers and the range has and strives to maintain a perfect safety record.

Recently, MSSC members voted to change the name of the club from the Middlesex

Sportsmen’s Hunt Club to the Middlesex Shooting Sports Club. The new name better reflects the club mission to promote firearms training and marksmanship, said a club spokesperson.

Those interested in the club’s programs or membership, con-tact MSSC Secretary Macey White at [email protected] or visit the club’s website at middlesex-range.org.

The Northern Neck Montes-sori School recently announced its sixth annual 5K Race will be held Saturday, March 21, and begin at the Kilmarnock Vol-unteer Fire Department carni-val grounds and continue down Waverly Avenue and back.

“The Northern Neck Mon-tessori—Kilmarnock 5K and Kids Fun Run is a USA Track & Field (USATF) Race in the Runner’s World Race Series, and is becoming a Virginia State Championship Race,” said parent and co-chairman Andrea Latell.

“It’s an event for the whole family and a popular event for statewide runners and the Northern Neck community,” said parent and co-chairman Trish MongeMeberg M.D. “Children participate in the Fun Run or Tot Trot which pro-motes the importance of exer-cise for all ages.”

The race has been a center-piece fund-raising event for the school helping to bridge the gap between tuition and real expenses. Parents organize and promote the race by seeking sponsors to cover the expenses.

“Our goal is to partner with enough sponsors so that 100% of the participant entry fees benefit the school. We have surpassed this goal every year and we hope to do it again,” said parent and sponsorship chairman Leslie Franklin.

and Kids Fun Run due March 21

Robert Mason Jr., Kylie Bransford, David Valadez, Debbie Cook and Mark Gates are itching to test the spelling skills of 14 teams compet-ing for bragging rights in The Great Northern Neck Spelling Bee.

The event will be held at 2 p.m. Sunday, March 1, at the new Lancaster County Library building, 16 Town Centre Drive, Kilmarnock.

Cook and Gates will pro-nounce the words, and Mason, Bransford and Valadez will judge the four-person teams for correct spelling.

“I hope that we have lots of folks who will come out to cheer on these spellers. This is not going to be your typi-cal bee,” said library board member and event chairman Amy Lewis.

Teams represent a vari-ety of organizations from the community including the Campbell Calvinists, National Association for Retired Fed-eral Employee Patri-ettes, Bettie Lee’s Bees of the Rappahannock Record, North-ern Neck YMCA’s Fitness Bees, Kilmarnock Baptist Church Spellers, St. Andrew’s Bee-attitudes, Team RCC, Charles Lawson’s Spellraiser 3: Spell on Earth, Montessori Movable Alphabet, Martha Crittenden’s Earth Mainte-nance & Irrigation, Chesa-peake Academy Ospreys, RW-C’s Alphabet Soup, Janice Stewart’s Spelltastics and Lin Ross’s Spellbinders.

The Great Northern Neck Spelling Bee will raise funds towards the capital cam-paign goal of $1.5 million to renovate the new library, said library director Lindsy Gard-ner.

Each team contributed $100 to participate, and audience members are asked to make a $5 donation at the door. Teams can purchase mulligans for $10 each to buy back into the competition after misspelling a word.

“I’m so excited about this unique fundraiser, and I hope lots of people will come out to see the new building and sup-port these brave spellers,” said Lindsy Gardner.

The saying “it is by giving of ourselves that we receive” has come from the lips of grand-mothers and the throats of choir singers for generations. Is this pearl of wisdom the truth or just an old wives tale?

To find the answer, one need look no further than Middlesex High School, where a chapter of the international Key Club has actively participated in a number of service-related proj-ects for over 25 years.

The club is sponsored by the Middlesex Kiwanis Club and the current faculty sponsor is MHS guidance counselor Anne Baltrusaitis, who inherited the reigns from previous sponsor Bill Murray three years ago. Looking at the club over time, one would be hard pressed to notice a switch in leadership.

Some members of this year’s Middlesex High School Key Club are, from left, Nicole Barnhardt, Carlee Browder, Alexan-dra West, Austen-Taylor Dozier, Katie Blake, Tessa DeWalt, Lynne Burch, Sierra Hartley, Corin Keller, Tananant (Beam) Suvorakul and Breana Wiedman. (Photo by Larry Chowning)

MHS Key Club: Over 25 years of serving othersby Johnathon Williams Despite the loss of a valuable

leader, the club still provides amazing service to the com-munity and school.

The MHS Key Club is a student-run organization that focuses on teaching leadership through community projects. Currently at the helm of the ship are club president Katie Blake and club vice president Tessa DeWalt, both juniors.

“Katie and Tessa have done a lot of work in making it into the student run club that it is supposed to be,” Ms. Baltru-saitis remarks casually. Per-haps not so casual though is the actual work performed by the members of the club. If num-bers could talk, I’m sure they would be equally humble of the over $950 the club has donated to outreach programs so far this school year. The major-ity ($650) of this money goes

to the Eliminate campaign, a worldwide effort to help pro-vide mothers with the supplies to combat neonatal tetanus, a condition that claims the lives of an estimated one baby every nine minutes.

Currently, the club is in the process of raising money for the governor’s project of sup-porting community members with special needs. The club has thus far reached $300 to help fund and re-establish Spe-cial Olympics teams in neigh-boring schools, and plans to continue in the future.

Lastly, the club has raised $650 to help support a trip to a Key Club convention in Bal-timore later in the year. At the convention they will decide on the district doctrine of the club and vote on new district leaders along with participating in this year’s “Nontraditional Scrap-

booking” competition. The chapter plans on taking pic-tures from their years’ worth of service, and putting them onto a quilt to tell the story of their service and memories.

Alongside sponsor Anne Baltrusaitis, president Katie Blake, and vice president Tessa DeWalt, stand the club’s other officers: Nicole Barnhardt, editor; Sierra Hartley, secre-tary; Carlee Browder, trea-surer; and Lisa Oiler, class representative.

The Key Club is part of the “K-families,” a group of school organizations associated with the Kiwanis Club.

“It is by giving of ourselves that we receive” seems to be proven true as a chapter full of dedicated students gives all the service they can, and receives more memories and support than could be hoped for.

MES plans pre-kindergarten screenings

The Chesapeake Bay Gover-nor’s School placed second at the 18th annual Blue Crab Bowl held at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) in Gloucester Point on February 7.

The day-long marine science tournament attracted top high school science students from 10 Virginia high schools. The Blue Crab Bowl is the Virginia regional competition of the National Ocean Science Bowl (NOSB). Sixteen teams came from across the Commonwealth, from Warrenton in the west to Exmore on the Eastern Shore, from Manassas to Virginia Beach. The nearly 80 students spent the day in heated tourna-ment competition focused on ocean sciences.

After a challenging day of both round-robin and double-elim-ination matches—46 matches in all—Chesapeake Bay Gov-ernor’s School’s Team B, with members from both the Glenns and Warsaw campuses, lost only one match and earned second place honors.

The winning team was coached by science teachers Sara Chaves Beam and Gregory

Coaches of the second place Chesapeake Bay Governor’s School Team B include lead coach and science teacher Sara Beam (third from left), and assistant coach Gregory Dorsey (second from right). Student team members include, from left, Hallie Maass, Sam Jasinski, David Bushhouse, Robin Thady and John Richardson.

Governor’s School is 2nd

in annual Blue Crab BowlDorsey. Team members included captain Hallie Maass (senior, New Kent High); David Bush-house (senior, New Kent High); Sam Jasinski (senior, Mathews High); John Richardson (junior, Lancaster High); and Robin Thady (senior, New Kent).

The Chesapeake Bay Gov-ernor’s School Glenns/Warsaw also fielded a Team A, coached by Sherry Pettyjohn. Team members included captain Josiah Schlosser, Haley Jen-kins, Zachary Kaylor and Nich-olas Mann.

The other top four teams included Bishop Sullivan Cath-olic High School Team A, first place; Seton School Team A, third place; and Broadwater Academy Team A, fourth place.

The Blue Crab Bowl is a cooperative effort between VIMS, College of William and Mary, and Old Dominion Uni-versity’s (ODU) Department of Ocean, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences. The winning team will represent Virginia in the national competition, facing other regional champions at the national finals, April 24-26, in Ocean Springs, Mississippi.

A brilliant sunrise over the icy Rappahannock River was a feast for the eyes and senses on the morning of February 24. The above photo was taken by Susan Ward of Urbanna.

Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam will be the featured guest speaker at the annual Lancaster County Demo-cratic Committee’s (LCDC) “Dining with Dems Dinner” on Sunday, March 15, at Los Portales Mexican Restau-rant, 625 North Main Street, Kilmarnock. Doors will open at 4 p.m. and the dinner will follow at 5 p.m.

The Dining with Dems Dinner is an opportunity for local Democrats to rekindle connections and recharge during the lull in political action, reported acting chair-man Nick Magnani.

Attendees from neighbor-ing counties are urged to attend, said Magnani. The dinner is a major social event, both light and serious. Antici-pating a presentation by Lt. Gov. Northam adds to the energy and should cap a most enjoyable evening.

With the 2015 General Assembly session winding down, Lt. Gov. Northam can provide a recap from the perspective of the executive branch, added Magnani.

For planning purposes, attendees are asked to RSVP

to Marilyn McGlamary at [email protected] by March 11 with attendee name(s) and dinner selec-tions. The fee is $20 per person. There will be a cash bar.

Northam grew up work-ing on the Chesapeake Bay, before attending and graduat-ing with honors from Virginia Military Institute, before attending and graduating from Eastern Virginia Medi-cal School, and before return-ing from eight years of active duty in the U.S. Army, treat-ing injured soldiers in Desert Storm.

He has a pediatric medi-cal practice in Norfolk. He teaches at Eastern Virginia Medical School and serves as a volunteer director at the Edmarc Hospice for Children in Portsmouth.

Elected lieutenant governor in November 2013, his pri-orities are economic develop-ment, women’s health, early childhood education and development and meaningful mental health reform—pri-orities which he pursued as a senator and now in the execu-tive branch.

Whenever there is a snow-storm where snow and ice accumulate on sidewalks and stoops, followed by a drop to freezing temperatures, the rescue squads can count on getting calls for slip and fall injuries. The calls range from simple sprains to broken hips, legs and arms. Slipping on snow or ice can cause serious injury and a lengthy hospital stay.

The good news is that falls related to ice or snow can be prevented with a just a few precautions. If you look out of your front door and there is an accumulation of ice and snow, don’t go out alone. If you use a walker, cane or a crutch, do not attempt to walk on ice or snow. Keep a bag of ice-melter near the front or back door. There may be a thin layer of ice that could cause a fall.

Use ice-melter to melt any ice to prevent a fall. Cat litter or sand can be used to provide traction. Regardless if you are physically fit or are at all unsteady on your feet, tempt-ing fate by trying to walk on ice and snow can be a serious mistake. A slip could do more than just breaking a wrist or hip. Should you fall and hit your head, you might cause a brain injury. Nothing is so urgent that you need to risk a broken bone or a brain injury to get to the mailbox, the car or the snow shovel. Don’t be one of the hundreds of people who fall each day. If you live alone, a fall outside could cause you to lie out in the cold wait-ing for help. Think carefully before you venture out on to icy steps or sidewalks.

To learn more about joining a local rescue squad, call the MCVRS in Deltaville at 804-815-0314, or the CMVRS in Urbanna at 804-824-3276.

Middlesex native James “Mike” Reed was named Man-ager of the Year at Omni Finan-cial Military Lending’s annual meeting in Savannah, Georgia, recently. Reed served in the Army for 20-plus years and is a veteran of Desert Shield and Desert Storm.

Reed retired from the Army in 2000 and accepted a posi-tion as district executive of the Boy Scouts in Topeka, Kansas, where he developed a new Urban Scouting Program for inner city youth. He was soon offered a position as a depart-ment shift floor manager by the Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company in Topeka.

After serving as floor man-ager for 10 months he was contacted by Philip Morris of Richmond and was hired as a production manager. After 8 years of service, Reed was given the opportunity to accept a severance package, since the company was reducing its management positions.

Right after departing Philip Morris, Reed was hired imme-diately by Omni Financial Mil-itary Lending. OMNI (Only Military Need Inquire) was started in 1942 by Staff Ser-geant Fred Nives, after he was turned down for auto financ-ing. The company has been servicing military members and retirees ever since.

Reed was selected Man-ager of the Year from among 22 managers serving as far away as Seoul, South Korea, and West Germany. Reed has

Reed named OMNI Manager of the Year

been with OMNI for 5-plus years and has received numer-ous accolades for his dedicated service and accomplishments.

Reed said he believes what he learned growing up in Middlesex County, and oppor-tunities that he has been privy to during his travels, have helped him achieve his accom-plishments.

Reed still works and volun-teers diligently in his church, school system, youth sports, and other entities in Middlesex County “to hopefully help make a difference.”

Two-year-old Riley Prete of Urbanna probably has never seen so much snow in her lifetime. Above she enjoys an igloo built by her family and friends.

Whitney Schmalenberger Stocks, a native of Deltaville, was recognized in the “Inside Business News” section of the Hampton Roads Business Jour-nal on February 23 as the recipi-ent of the “Health Care Heroes” award, which is presented regu-larly by the publication.

While many honorees are nominated by their superiors and peers, Stocks was nomi-nated by Farm Fresh Food & Pharmacy President Micky Nye, who observed Stocks at the Children’s Hospital of The King’s Daughters Cancer Unit, according to Inside Business News.

“Whitney never allowed herself to be so consumed by the task at hand that she might miss an opportunity to make a connection with a child who was fussy or to give a hug to a mother who was stressed about a first-time treatment,” Nye wrote. “She was impressive to watch in action. The way she cares for these children and how she interacts with their families who are already anxious about their child’s treatment is just incredible. She advocates for these children like they are her own family.

“I have seen her hold her little patients’ hands and their fam-ily’s hands. I have seen her cry with them and celebrate with them. The little residents and those who visit for their cancer treatments are Whitney’s top priority, and she is constantly looking for ways to improve the quality of their care.”

Stocks, who lives in Nor-folk, is a Middlesex High School graduate who received her bachelor of science degree in health sciences from James Madison University, bachelor’s in nursing degree from Shenan-

Stocks honored as ‘Health Care Hero’

doah University, and master’s in nursing administration and leadership degree from Virginia Commonwealth University.

She started at CHKD in 2010 after working at Virginia Com-monwealth University Health System in Richmond in acute care pediatrics.

“My dream was to work at a children’s hospital, which is one of the reasons I applied for the position at CHKD,” Stocks was quoted in the Inside Business News article.

She always had known that she wanted to work in health care and initially thought she wanted to be a pediatrician.

After completing a summer internship at a hospital during college, she realized that her love was nursing.

“I thoroughly enjoyed caring for patients at the bedside, get-ting to know them and their families,” Stocks said. “I would leave each day feeling that I made a difference, which in turn solidified my decision to pursue my nursing degree.”

Her first nursing job out of school was as a bedside nurse at VCU.

“I was particularly drawn to caring for the oncology patients,” Stocks said, who called them “some of the most special and resilient patients that I had ever met.”

Now she feels blessed to work with the nurses, medi-cal assistants and physicians at CHKD.

“The teamwork throughout my department and the hospital is amazing,” Stocks said.

Stocks’ parents, Ken and Carolyn Schmalenberger of Deltaville, are extremely proud of their daughter’s accomplish-ments.

“For all the parents with chil-dren in the Middlesex County Public School System who may wonder if their children are acquiring the tools necessary to compete in today’s world post-high school graduation, rest assured that Middlesex County offers an excellent education,” said Carolyn. “Whitney is a graduate of the MHS Class of 1999 and we’re proud of our daughter and her contribution to health care. We are espe-cially grateful for the outstand-ing education she received in Middlesex County.”

Each year Inside Busi-ness honors local health care individuals, companies and organizations in 10 different categories (Stocks was selected in the “nurse” category) for their contributions to improving health care in Hampton Roads.

Inside Business presents the Health Care Hero Awards to honor those who epitomize the word “hero” in the delivery of health care to the community.

Jane Elizabeth Brown, 65, of Water View went to her heavenly home on February 19, 2015 after a brief illness. She was surrounded by her family—her devoted husband of 45 years and high school sweetheart, Robert Brown, and her two daughters, Jamie Hant-man of New York, N.Y., and Meredith Vantress of Tampa, Fla. She is also survived by two sons-in-law, David Hant-man and Col. Jack Vantress; three grandchildren, Jack Ben-jamin Vantress II, Samantha Vantress, and Emma Hantman; and four beloved brothers, James Hammond of Corrales, N.M., Jeffery Hammond of Durham, Conn., Daniel Ham-mond of Palm Springs, Calif., and Richard Hammond of Northford, Conn.

She was preceded in death by her father, James Samuel Ham-mond, and her mother, Sarah Dorothy Barrett Hammond.

Jane received a BA and MA from Central Connecticut State University and spent her 36-year career devoted to edu-cating young people, inspiring them to achieve, and mentor-ing the younger teachers with whom she worked. She began her teaching career at Emman-uel Christian Academy in New-ington, Conn., and went on to teach at Calvary Baptist Acad-emy in Normal, Ill., teach and serve as high school principal at Hollywood Christian School in Hollywood, Fla., and teach and serve as high school prin-cipal at Annapolis Area Chris-tian School in Annapolis, Md.

Her commitment to her col-leagues and students went beyond the classroom, with her regularly opening up her home to extra study groups fueled by her delicious homemade treats. She loved the Christmas season, reading, her women’s Bible study group, baking, and doting on her family, who loved her so dearly.

The Saint John’s Bible is a project of art, history and theology. A team of artists coordinated by Jackson, in Wales, and a team of scholars in central Minnesota brought together the ancient tech-niques of calligraphy and illumination (artistic illus-tration) with an ecumenical Christian approach to the
