Mike Payne, left, hopes to be the next <strong>school</strong> <strong>board</strong> member from District 1. John Wright is in the process of filing papers to run <strong>for</strong> the District 5 <strong>school</strong> <strong>board</strong> seat.<br />

<strong>New</strong> <strong>candidates</strong> <strong>declare</strong> <strong>for</strong> <strong>school</strong> <strong>board</strong><br />

Districts 1 and<br />

5 will see new<br />

names on the<br />

ballot this fall<br />

<strong>New</strong> <strong>candidates</strong> <strong>for</strong> the<br />

Goochland School Board are<br />

starting to appear <strong>for</strong> this fall’s<br />

election.<br />

Last week John Wright said<br />

he is in the process of filing the<br />

necessary papers to be on the<br />

ballot in District 5. In District<br />

1 Michael E. Payne said he has<br />

completed the filing process<br />

to run.<br />

“I’m official. I filed my<br />

paperwork two weeks ago,”<br />

said Payne last weekend.<br />

Wright, 43, has been a frequent<br />

speaker at <strong>school</strong> <strong>board</strong><br />

meetings and workshops. An<br />

accountant, he and his wife<br />

Karen have two daughters who<br />

attend Randolph Elementary<br />

School.<br />

Payne, 42, is a Career and<br />

Technical Education teacher<br />

with Henrico County Schools.<br />

He and his wife Kathy have<br />

a son at Goochland Middle<br />

School and another son who<br />

attends Byrd Elementary.<br />

In weekend interviews both<br />

<strong>candidates</strong> said they think the<br />

<strong>board</strong> should take a greater<br />

role in setting <strong>school</strong> policy.<br />

Wright plans to run <strong>for</strong> the<br />

seat currently held by Maxwell<br />

Cisne, now in his second term<br />

on the <strong>school</strong> <strong>board</strong>, who said<br />

Monday that although he has<br />

not made a firm decision, he is<br />

leaning toward not running <strong>for</strong><br />

a third term this fall.<br />

“I’m inclined to step aside,”<br />

said Cisne. “I’ve done about all<br />

that I can do.” Cisne said he<br />

thought Wright would make a<br />

“great candidate.”<br />

Wright said his interest in<br />

the Goochland <strong>school</strong> system<br />

spiked when he heard from<br />

other parents that the <strong>school</strong><br />

administration was considering<br />

closing the Gifted Center,<br />

where his oldest daughter was<br />

a student.<br />

“I can still remember that<br />

phone call,” said Wright. The<br />

gifted center was closed as part<br />

of last year’s budget cuts and<br />

Wright said that his oldest<br />

daughter, a fifth-grader, is now<br />

back at Randolph.<br />

“It’s not the same sort of<br />

rigor as be<strong>for</strong>e,” said Wright,<br />

who added that he used to<br />

brag to friends about the<br />

quality of Goochland <strong>school</strong>s<br />

when they asked why he didn’t<br />

send his children to private<br />

<strong>school</strong>. The Gifted Center was<br />

“a point of differentiation –<br />

what Goochland had to offer<br />

that other systems didn’t,” he<br />

explained. “I saw my daughter<br />

thrive there,” he said.<br />

Wright said he has been<br />

thinking about running <strong>for</strong><br />

more than a year because of<br />

the wranglings of last year’s<br />

budget cycle.<br />

He said he thought some<br />

of the <strong>board</strong> members have<br />

become complacent and only<br />

one has children in the <strong>school</strong><br />

system.<br />

“The <strong>board</strong> should set<br />

policy and the administration<br />

should enact it,” said Wright,<br />

adding that the outward<br />

impression is that this is not<br />

happening.<br />

Wright said one of his goals<br />

would be to bring greater transparency<br />

to the budget process.<br />

“I’d like to see budgets presented<br />

as they are at the county,”<br />

he said. In<strong>for</strong>mation from the<br />

<strong>school</strong>s is not readily available,<br />

said Wright.<br />

“You can’t find out who<br />

works in what position and what<br />

budget category. Wright said the<br />

classification of staff between<br />

administrative and instructional<br />

categories was confusing.<br />

“If someone is working out<br />

of the central office on a day to<br />

day basis they are in administration,”<br />

he maintained.<br />

Wright, who currently serves<br />

as President of the Goochland<br />

Rotary Club, said he has also<br />

been active in the Goochland<br />

Leadership Enterprise program.<br />

“With the GLE I had the<br />

responsibility of putting on the<br />

education program,” he said.<br />

the delay in issuing minutes of<br />

why the <strong>school</strong> <strong>board</strong> did not<br />

School <strong>board</strong> approves Apple lease, health insurance renewal<br />

Ken Odor<br />

jodor@goochlandgazette.com<br />

Three Goochland School<br />

Board members voted last<br />

week to approve a lease of<br />

Apple Computers from CCA<br />

Financial and to renew the<br />

<strong>school</strong>s health insurance<br />

contract <strong>for</strong> its employees<br />

with Anthem through The<br />

Local Choice Health Benefits<br />

Program of the Commonwealth<br />

of Virginia.<br />

Members Andrew Meng<br />

and James Haskell were not<br />

present.<br />

The annual leasing cost <strong>for</strong><br />

the Apple Computers amounts<br />

to $442,125.51 yearly <strong>for</strong> four<br />

years, starting July 15.<br />

Premiums <strong>for</strong> the health<br />

insurance will rise by 4.1 to 4.6<br />

percent. Premiums range from<br />

$487 per month <strong>for</strong> employees<br />

alone in the cheapest plan to<br />

$1,536 monthly <strong>for</strong> an employee<br />

plus family <strong>for</strong> the most<br />

comprehensive. Employee contributions<br />

are yet to be determined<br />

but under the current<br />

plan, a single employee’s premium<br />

is paid by the <strong>school</strong>s.<br />

If family members are added,<br />

the employee bears most of the<br />

additional cost.<br />

a 9-12 percent increase could<br />

have been justified.<br />

The renewal becomes effective<br />

October 1.<br />

In the public comment<br />

period, <strong>board</strong> members came<br />

in <strong>for</strong> criticism <strong>for</strong> not soliciting<br />

alternative bids <strong>for</strong> computer<br />

services.<br />

“It would have been wise<br />

to solicit bids from other vendors<br />

besides Apple,” said John<br />

Wright.<br />

Adeeb Hamzey agreed. He<br />

said he had not planned on<br />

speaking but was concerned<br />

about the lack of bidding on<br />

the computer lease.<br />

Michael McDermott took<br />

the <strong>board</strong> to task <strong>for</strong> having so<br />

many action items (4) on the<br />

agenda <strong>for</strong> a workshop meeting.<br />

Director of Secondary<br />

Education Tom DeWeerd<br />

made the case <strong>for</strong> the Apple<br />

renewal in his presentation,<br />

listing the advantages of the<br />

system.<br />

DeWeerd said the <strong>school</strong>s<br />

did receive several bids from<br />

other Apple vendors and CCA’s<br />

was the lowest but did not consider<br />

switching to PCs.<br />

Apple requires less maintenance<br />

and is better suited<br />

to <strong>school</strong> use, said DeWeerd.<br />

NEWS: What’s Going on in Goochland County<br />

Two members of Goochland’s<br />

Planning Commission are completing<br />

four terms of service on<br />

the panel and ending eight years<br />

of service to their community.<br />

District 3 representative Bill Neal<br />

and District 4 commissioner Bob<br />

Rich have terms set to expire at<br />

the end of March.<br />

The two have witnessed<br />

many changes in the county<br />

since they took the posts, and<br />

have considered planning <strong>for</strong> the<br />

county in the best of times, and<br />

the not so good.<br />

Neal said despite the ups and<br />

downs, it’s been a good run. “I<br />

have enjoyed my time on the<br />

commission. I have been <strong>for</strong>tunate<br />

to work with a lot of different<br />

people through the years.<br />

Although we may have different<br />

opinions, everyone was dedicated,<br />

sincere, and did what they<br />

thought was right,” he said.<br />

Neal noted some of the significant<br />

changes that took place<br />

on his watch. “Several changes<br />

were made during this time,” he<br />

said. “Some of the most noted<br />

was the major overhaul of the<br />

comprehensive plan in 2006. Also<br />

we revised a zoning ordinance,<br />

which included the addition<br />

of the Forestry-Conservation-<br />

Open Space District. Changes<br />

in the Entrance Corridor and<br />

Village Center Overlay District<br />

to provided more uni<strong>for</strong>mity<br />

but at the same time preserving<br />

the character of each overlay<br />

district,” Neal said.<br />

Neal recommended a continued<br />

path of careful planning<br />

that should include several key<br />

elements. “Some items in our<br />

future planning should include<br />

establishing Urban Density Areas<br />

(UDAs), utilizing our interstate<br />

exits <strong>for</strong> commercial growth, and<br />

developing the Tuckahoe Creek<br />

Service District which includes<br />

West Creek <strong>for</strong> Mixed Planned<br />

Unit Development,” he said.<br />

District 3 supervisor Ned<br />

Creasey presented Neal with a<br />

plaque of appreciation <strong>for</strong> his<br />

service on the commission, while<br />

District 4 rep Malvern R. (Rudy)<br />

Butler presented Rich with a separate<br />

recognition at last week’s<br />

Planning Commission meeting.<br />

Rich headed Goochland’s<br />

Commission on the Future<br />

in 1994 be<strong>for</strong>e serving on the<br />

Planning Commission.<br />

“I came to the PC after being<br />

Chair of the 1994/5 Goochland<br />

Commission on the Future,<br />

attended numerous PC meetings<br />

over the years as just an inquisitive<br />

public citizen, thus I was<br />

somewhat in tune with the planning<br />

function and staff when I<br />

came on <strong>board</strong>,” he said.<br />

During his three terms as<br />

commission chair, Rich added his<br />

blend of efficiency and inclusiveness<br />

to the process. “I was Chair<br />

<strong>for</strong> three terms, during which<br />

time I strove to add some structure<br />

of thought and action to<br />

P.C. deliberations- and to reduce<br />

the length of late night meetings<br />

where possible,” he said.<br />

“I encouraged all members<br />

to speak out on the issues,<br />

which ended up with, I think,<br />

a more inclusive and focused<br />

Commission membership,” he<br />

added.<br />

During his tenure, Rich noted<br />

several changes in the process and<br />

a good number of challenging<br />

issues. He said, “establishing the<br />

staff planning function within<br />

the newly <strong>for</strong>med Community<br />

The latest financial data<br />

reduce the gap between the<br />

<strong>school</strong>s request and the county<br />

to $1,186,323, Underwood told<br />

the <strong>board</strong>.<br />

If the supervisors should<br />

decide to use $332,000 from<br />

the VRS reserve fund that the<br />

<strong>school</strong>s have counted on and<br />

restore the $693,000 reduction,<br />

the gap is almost closed, leaving<br />

roughly a $161,000 gap.<br />

“That budget is doable,”<br />

said Underwood, citing vacant<br />

positions and the option of<br />

keeping the two furlough days<br />

that were proposed to be eliminated.<br />

“We could do that budget,”<br />

said Underwood.<br />

Planning Commissioners Bob Rich, left, and Bill Neal are leaving<br />

the commission after serving four terms.<br />

But should that not be the<br />

case, Underwood again outlined<br />

possible cuts that might<br />

be made to reduce the <strong>school</strong>s<br />

budget, including staggered<br />

bus runs, staffing reductions,<br />

reducing the number of<br />

<strong>school</strong> days to 160 and cuts in<br />

athletics and extracurricular<br />

activities.<br />

“Now we are tasked to<br />

literally tear it apart,” said<br />

Development Department was<br />

a good move.”<br />

Planning Commission terms<br />

were also changed from four<br />

to two years during Neal and<br />

Rich’s service. “That gave flexibility<br />

to the appointment process,”<br />

according to Rich.<br />

The pair faced numerous<br />

zoning challenges as Goochland<br />

grew and demands to keep<br />

Goochland rural increased. The<br />

recent recession has eased those<br />

requests, but Rich said the challenge<br />

is only stalled, not eliminated.<br />

He said planning will always<br />

“be a critical element in what<br />

happens in Goochland’s development<br />

and will become more<br />

complicated as “growth” returns<br />

– not if, but when it does.”<br />

Chairman Ivan Mattox of the<br />

proposed budget cuts, adding<br />

that he wakes at four o’clock in<br />

the morning worrying about<br />

budget cuts.<br />

In other action, the <strong>board</strong><br />

agreed to refer <strong>board</strong> member<br />

Raymond Miller’s idea of closing<br />

an elementary <strong>school</strong> to the<br />

facilities committee <strong>for</strong> a cost<br />

analysis.

Schools take focus in budget debate<br />

By the time this print edition hits the<br />

street, the budget public hearing will have<br />

taken place and if this writer’s crystal ball<br />

is working, many, if not the majority<br />

of the speakers will have given<br />

their thoughts on the proposed <strong>school</strong><br />

budget and how it should be funded.<br />

Then next week Goochland citizens<br />

will find out what the wisdom<br />

of the five supervisors is when they<br />

are scheduled to approve the FY2012<br />

budget.<br />

It’s been good theater all the way<br />

down the road so far.<br />

First the county told the <strong>school</strong>s<br />

last year they could expect almost<br />

$700,000 less from the county this<br />

time around compared to last year,<br />

based on declining revenues, mostly<br />

caused by lower assessments on real<br />

estate.<br />

Then the <strong>school</strong> <strong>board</strong> told the<br />

supervisors they not only wanted that<br />

$700,000 but about $700,000 more<br />

<strong>for</strong> a reduction in furlough days and a<br />

math specialist.<br />

Since then the two <strong>board</strong>s have<br />

been jousting with one another, riling<br />

up their constituents, posturing <strong>for</strong><br />

reelection purposes and sending letters<br />

back and <strong>for</strong>th in a not so successful<br />

attempt to exchange in<strong>for</strong>mation,<br />

while the numbers have improved so<br />

that the current gap between what the<br />

<strong>school</strong>s want and what the county has<br />

proposed is about $1.1 million.<br />

At the most recent <strong>school</strong> <strong>board</strong><br />

meeting Superintendent Linda<br />

Underwood once again outlined what<br />

some would call draconian cuts if<br />

the <strong>school</strong> budget must be reduced,<br />

following the supervisor’s Monday<br />

workshop meeting where supervisor<br />

Andrew Pryor advocated at least level<br />

funding <strong>for</strong> the <strong>school</strong>s.<br />

If the county goes that route and<br />

also lets the <strong>school</strong>s use some $300,000<br />

in the VRS reserve fund, then, despite<br />

all the anguish and anxiety generated<br />

the problem will be basically solved.<br />

In a manner of speaking.<br />

But it hasn’t been pretty. As theater,<br />

it’s hard to know whether to call it farce<br />

or theater of the absurd. It’s almost like<br />

a choreographed dance where the two<br />

bodies crouch and snarl at each other,<br />

make a bunch of speeches about how<br />

the other side doesn’t cooperate and in<br />

the end make up and shake hands.<br />

The bet here is that the supervisors<br />

will go the level funding route and also<br />

use some of the VRS reserve in the<br />

<strong>school</strong> budget.<br />

And that’s what the Gazette believes<br />

should be done too, at this point.<br />

But Lord have mercy, there has<br />

GOT to be a better way to do this next<br />

time around.<br />

A more cooperative, sensible, let’s<br />

just go ahead and say it – a more<br />

mature, grownup way <strong>for</strong> the county<br />

to decide how to spend more than half<br />

the money in its annual budget.<br />

Next year, the two <strong>board</strong>s, no matter<br />

who sits on them since there will<br />

be new faces after the fall elections,<br />

need to work together, not at odds<br />

with each other. And <strong>school</strong> administration<br />

needs to come up with a better<br />

way of providing in<strong>for</strong>mation about<br />

its proposed budget to the county<br />

when requested.<br />

The process is just too important<br />

to do it this way a third year in a row.<br />

OPINION: Editorial, Letters to the Editor<br />

It’s not the system it’s<br />

the supervisors<br />

I am certainly glad that Mr.<br />

Eads “clarified” the issues surrounding<br />

the current situation<br />

with the position of Treasurer here<br />

in Goochland. The only thing he<br />

clarified was his position, possibly<br />

that of others of his ilk, to do away<br />

with a the system of constitutionally<br />

elected officers to manage government<br />

– the very system that<br />

has served this country well <strong>for</strong><br />

over 200 years and the County of<br />

Goochland since its inception. It<br />

doesn’t seem prudent, at least to<br />

this individual, to change a timetested<br />

system just because of one<br />

is in Goochland that they have<br />

not been exercised by those sup-<br />

the voters could make a choice<br />

during the last election? Why<br />

wasn’t an audit of the office<br />

whys could go on and why<br />

can’t a constitutional officer<br />

criticize, constructively, another<br />

Where was the supervision/management<br />

– read checks<br />

and balances – by the Board of<br />

Supervisors of Mr. Wolfrey in<br />

his execution of his duties and<br />

responsibilities to oversee the<br />

administration of the county<br />

operations? And we don’t need<br />

to go into the Board’s end run,<br />

without voter approval, to strip<br />

the Commissioner of Revenue’s<br />

office of the major duty and<br />

responsibility to conduct assessments.<br />

If anything needs to be<br />

changed in Goochland, it lies<br />

with those elected officials who<br />

are charged with supervising the<br />

County. I sincerely hope “the<br />

voters will make the correct<br />

decision” come election time.<br />

TCSD at the bottom<br />

of budget woes<br />

It is obvious to the casual<br />

observer that the basic issue<br />

that ties together the county<br />

and <strong>school</strong> budget woes is<br />

the Tuckahoe Creek Service<br />

District. The TCSD was a mistake<br />

in many ways. It was too<br />

expensive. (And still is, 3.4 million<br />

dollars is listed as a debt<br />

payment out of a 55.9 million<br />

dollar budget <strong>for</strong> the coming<br />

year; more than 10 percent.)<br />

It was poorly managed.<br />

The issues with the TCSD fall<br />

squarely on the shoulders of<br />

the supervisors of this county.<br />

Without the problems of the<br />

TCSD, there would be more<br />

than enough in the budget <strong>for</strong><br />

<strong>school</strong>s.<br />

Thursday<br />

March 31, 2011<br />

Can the supervisors fix the<br />

problem now? Probably not<br />

in time to resolve the <strong>school</strong><br />

budget. But, one does have to<br />

wonder whether they have any<br />

thing to lose by not supporting<br />

the <strong>school</strong>s.<br />

In any case, this is one individual<br />

who will vote to remove<br />

my supervisor if given a choice<br />

in the upcoming election.<br />

How to avoid budget<br />

cuts<br />

Two weeks ago I wrote about<br />

the importance of our county<br />

library <strong>for</strong> the variety of services<br />

it provides to many citizens.<br />

Now I want to suggest a way to<br />

avoid the 2 percent additional<br />

cut that will occur if the Board of<br />

Supervisors does not take proactive<br />

action.<br />

It is obvious that our <strong>school</strong>s,<br />

fire and safety services, and the<br />

library cannot continue to take<br />

cuts. The past ef<strong>for</strong>ts to build<br />

programs and make advancements<br />

are quickly erased with<br />

ongoing deductions in funding.<br />

The only answer I can see is<br />

a personal property tax increase.<br />

I don’t like taxes any more than<br />

anyone else--I live on retirement<br />

income and haven’t had a raise<br />

in a couple of years, plus I own<br />

property in the county as well.<br />

But sometimes <strong>for</strong> the good of<br />

the community, we must face<br />

tough decisions.<br />

If the Board had made the<br />

2-4 percent increase last year, as<br />

suggested by the county administrator,<br />

then they wouldn’t have<br />

to do it during this election year.<br />

But they didn’t, so now they have<br />

an unpopular decision to make<br />

that can’t be put off any longer.<br />

What the Board decides to<br />

do will send a clear message<br />

about how much they care<br />

about quality <strong>school</strong>s, library<br />

and fire and safety in our county.<br />

OPINION: Letters to the Editor<br />

Redistricting plan<br />

not yet final<br />

Many of us attended both<br />

District 1 redistricting meetings<br />

held last week. The<br />

voters voiced their concerns<br />

about the proposed plan and<br />

many good ideas emanated<br />

from these meetings including<br />

the posting of the audio<br />

(and later, the written) meeting<br />

minutes on the county<br />

website.<br />

Between the two meetings,<br />

there were probably 50<br />

questions asked. We learned<br />

that the supervisors are solely<br />

responsible <strong>for</strong> the redistricting<br />

proposal put be<strong>for</strong>e us.<br />

We learned that the lines<br />

are being drawn on a purely<br />

political basis. We learned<br />

that this is NOT a final plan<br />

and it can still be changed.<br />

Please attend any of the<br />

redistricting meetings on the<br />

calendar. It is important that<br />

we let our supervisors know<br />

that we want transparency<br />

and explanations. Ask questions.<br />

Remember, the final<br />

plan will be in place <strong>for</strong> the<br />

next 10 years; we want the<br />

lines to be drawn in a way<br />

that benefits the citizens of<br />

our county.<br />

Letters<br />

continued from > page 7<br />

the word ‘sheol’ in the Old<br />

Testament from “grave” or<br />

simply “dead” to the word<br />

“Hell.” This was an intentional<br />

mistranslation intended<br />

to frighten people into<br />

good behavior – as defined by<br />

the Church. The word sheol<br />

has no relationship whatsoever<br />

to a fire and brimstone<br />

Hell. It simply means “dead.”<br />

In the <strong>New</strong> Testament Jesus<br />

speaks of Gahanna which the<br />

Catholics also translated as<br />

“Hell.” Remember Jesus, the<br />

teacher who used parables and<br />

stories to get his points across?<br />

Well Gahanna was the town<br />

dump, which burned continuously<br />

from the trash and<br />

sacrificed carcasses dumped<br />

there. Jesus preached that<br />

damaging your soul was like<br />

burning in the town dump.<br />

He never said that there was a<br />

Thursday<br />

March 31, 2011<br />

fire and brimstone Hell. The<br />

Catholic Church intentionally<br />

mistranslated ‘Gahanna<br />

Town Dump’ as “Hell.”<br />

Revelations is a complicated,<br />

coded book written about<br />

the Romans; but it too has no<br />

support <strong>for</strong> the concept of<br />

an eternal Hell <strong>for</strong> humans<br />

who fail to believe the right<br />

thing. It’s full of allegory and<br />

like Jesus’ preaching it tells<br />

of the self-imposed torment<br />

of damaged souls. But it<br />

also makes clear that healing<br />

is possible <strong>for</strong> everyone,<br />

because on an eternal scale,<br />

love always wins over fear.<br />

I was very angry with my<br />

parents and teachers and clergy<br />

when I learned the truth by<br />

thoroughly reading the entire<br />

Bible. I got over the anger<br />

with my parents because they<br />

too were indoctrinated with<br />

this lie (sins of the fathers)<br />

and passed it on as they were<br />

instructed to do. They never<br />

read the entire Bible, but told<br />

OPINION: Letters to the Editor<br />

me that Hell was in there and<br />

I would go there if I didn’t<br />

do the right things or believe<br />

the right things or per<strong>for</strong>m<br />

the right rituals. My anger<br />

continues to seethe towards<br />

the clergy because they supposedly<br />

read and studied the<br />

Bible. They know the truth,<br />

yet they propagate the lie to<br />

keep people living in fear so<br />

that they might continue to<br />

control them. People do not<br />

need to be frightened into<br />

doing that which advances<br />

the highest vision of the self,<br />

or society. Fear is the exact<br />

opposite of love and it’s all<br />

about control.<br />

The Catholic Church has<br />

begun to embrace the more<br />

politically correct interpretation<br />

of Hell as ‘eternal separation<br />

from God,’ but this is<br />

still a lie. The word “eternal”<br />

(aion – which means ‘age’) in<br />

the sense that we understand<br />

it is not used in any way to<br />

indicate an eternal punish-<br />

ment. That translation too<br />

is a lie by the Church. Yes, of<br />

course all actions have consequences,<br />

but God will not<br />

separate Himself from us.<br />

How could She? Few would<br />

deny that God is all that IS.<br />

Well, amazingly enough, that<br />

includes all of us. Why would<br />

God eternally punish God’s<br />

own self? What would be the<br />

point? In any event, simply<br />

look at Jesus’ teachings carefully<br />

and you can see that he<br />

is comparing the torment of a<br />

damaged soul to the burning<br />

of the town dump. He teaches<br />

that we are all ONE. He is<br />

One with the father, and we<br />

are his brothers. That which<br />

we do to or <strong>for</strong> another we do<br />

to or <strong>for</strong> ourselves – that is<br />

what Jesus taught. A message<br />

of love. Not the false message<br />

of fear that the Catholic<br />

Church invented and that<br />

self righteous, condescending<br />

fundamentalists propagate.<br />

To the Catholic Church,<br />

I say that the sex abuse your<br />

repressed clergy committed<br />

to thousands of children<br />

pales in comparison to the<br />

psychological child abuse you<br />

committed and continue to<br />

commit to hundreds of millions<br />

of innocent children.<br />

Stop the child abuse. Stop it<br />

around in the streets. Because<br />

I feel this way, I decided to<br />

research more about the issue<br />

of homeless dogs and cats in<br />

our county,” Lauren explains.<br />

“Mr. Bobby Herndon of the<br />

Goochland Animal Shelter<br />

was good enough to grant<br />

me an interview. After speaking<br />

with him I realized the<br />

best way I could help would<br />

be to get as much pet food as<br />

NEWS: What’s Going on in Goochland County<br />

possible.” Lauren launched a<br />

campaign at GES and the pet<br />

food came in very quickly. “I<br />

realized when I looked at the<br />

mountain of pet food, that<br />

many people in our county<br />

care about these animals too.<br />

The generosity of the students<br />

and other people in<br />

Goochland will really help<br />

the animals. I saw how one<br />

little idea can really make a<br />

big difference.”<br />

Cougars defeat Cape<br />

Henry <strong>for</strong> fourth win<br />

It’s still early in the season,<br />

but Collegiate’s girls lacrosse<br />

team is posting an encouraging<br />

start <strong>for</strong> the 2011 campaign.<br />

Last week they knocked<br />

off Cape Henry Collegiate 16-<br />

7 at the <strong>school</strong>’s Goochland<br />

County sports complex.<br />

The win upped the Cougars<br />

record to 4-1, and provided<br />

some encouraging signs <strong>for</strong><br />

Coach Annie Richards.<br />

“I thought we came out a<br />

little flat today, but the kids<br />

picked it up a lot,” she said.<br />

“Once we were able to get<br />

some kids in there who provided<br />

a spark, the energy level<br />

was much higher,” Richards<br />

added.<br />

Cape Henry fought off a<br />

determined Cougar offensive<br />

charge <strong>for</strong> the first minutes<br />

of the contest, but Meredith<br />

McGhee broke the ice when<br />

she scored on a break away<br />

early in the first half.<br />

Austin Pruitt and Amanda<br />

Johnson both had four goal<br />

per<strong>for</strong>mances <strong>for</strong> the Cougars.<br />

Collegiate girls lacrosse off to good start<br />

BY JIM RIDOLPHI<br />

Special Correspondent<br />

Benedictine takes<br />

home double-header<br />

Two teams came to<br />

Hyman Field hoping <strong>for</strong> a<br />

victory against Benedictine<br />

last Saturday. Both left empty<br />

handed.<br />

Middleburg Academy and<br />

Norfolk Collegiate both came<br />

up short against the Cadets<br />

(6-1) in double-header action<br />

the speed and the talent, and<br />

she did a great job especially<br />

through the midfield with our<br />

transition,” Richards said. “You<br />

can’t beat her up the field with<br />

the speed she’s got,” the coach<br />

added.<br />

Johnson, one of the team<br />

captains, provided leadership<br />

and kept the emotional level<br />

high, according to the coach.<br />

“She had a great game<br />

and played with a lot of heart<br />

and led the team with a lot of<br />

energy and emotion,” Richards<br />

said. “She’s a great motivator<br />

<strong>for</strong> the team.”<br />

Cape Henry coach Brooke<br />

Hummel felt her team per<strong>for</strong>med<br />

well against a quality<br />

opponent. “They are very<br />

good, and we’re a young team,<br />

but I felt like we hung in there<br />

with them at points in the<br />

game,” she said.<br />

Richards felt the Cougars<br />

showed patience on offense<br />

and improved their transition<br />

game, both good signs <strong>for</strong><br />

the future. Coupled with the<br />

team’s experience and leadership,<br />

the coach is excited about<br />

the remainder of the season.<br />

“This team is benefiting<br />

from the leadership on and off<br />

the field from the five seniors<br />

we have,” she said. “We’re<br />

young, but this team picks up<br />

quickly and that bodes well <strong>for</strong><br />

the future.”<br />

Cadets sweep twin bill versus pair of foes<br />

Special Correspondent<br />

Collegiate’s long and lanky Austin Pruitt (11) was just too fast <strong>for</strong> the Dolphin defense. Pruitt scored four goals in the 16-7 victory.<br />

this weekend at The Abbey.<br />

The Cadets began with an<br />

8-0 pasting of Norfolk in a<br />

game where the Benedictine<br />

ace Andrew Woods pitched<br />

five no-hit innings.<br />

“Andrew is off to a great<br />

start and is becoming the<br />

pitcher we’ve always felt he<br />

would be,” head coach Sean<br />

Ryan said. “He is going to<br />

keep us in just about every<br />

game he pitches. It’s exciting<br />

to see his development from<br />

a sophomore with potential<br />

to a senior who can be domi-<br />

nant.”<br />

The Cadets backed up the<br />

pitching ef<strong>for</strong>t with six runs<br />

in the fourth inning.<br />

Ryan felt Middleburg had<br />

one bad inning, and that’s all<br />

Benedictine needed. “We’ve<br />

done a really nice job of taking<br />

advantage of mistakes by<br />

our opponents,” Ryan said. “It<br />

seems like when a team makes<br />

an error, we end up turning it<br />

into a big inning.”<br />

Colton Konvicka and<br />

Michael Childress each had<br />

two RBIs in the victory.<br />

The Cadets got a break<br />

between contests when<br />

Middleburg and Norfolk<br />

squared off against each other<br />

in an exciting game won by<br />

Middleburg.<br />

The Dragons didn’t have<br />

much left in the tank when<br />

they faced off against the<br />

Cadets in the final game, and<br />

dropped a 13-2 decision.<br />

Matt Mullen went three<br />

<strong>for</strong> three <strong>for</strong> the Cadets, who<br />

exploded <strong>for</strong> five runs in the<br />

second inning.<br />

Ryan said it was a good<br />

outing <strong>for</strong> his team who were<br />

bouncing back from their<br />

first loss of the season last<br />

week.<br />

“Coming off a tough loss<br />

to Manchester, I was pleased<br />

that we were able to jump<br />

on Norfolk Collegiate and<br />

Middleburg and play from<br />

ahead,” Ryan said.<br />

available to be scheduled <strong>for</strong> public hearing on the evening of May 3, 2011<br />

a. County Wide – Zoning Ordinance Amendment<br />

The attached ordinance amendment would amend the Goochland County<br />

Zoning Ordinance by defining the term “outside storage” and adding the<br />

same as a conditional use permitted by special exception in the M-2 Zoning<br />

District. Currently, “outside storage” is allowed as a conditional use permitted<br />

by special exception in the M-1 Zoning District. The ordinance amendment<br />

would also amend the Zoning Ordinance by adding Development Standards<br />

<strong>for</strong> “outdoor storage” in the M-1 and M-2 Zoning Districts. In addition, the<br />

ordinance amendment provides that all uses allowed as a conditional use<br />

permitted by special exception in the M-1 Zoning District would also be<br />

allowed as a conditional use in the M-2 Zoning District.<br />

b. County Wide – Zoning Ordinance Amendment<br />

Zoning Ordinance by defining the term “adult day care center” and adding the<br />

same as a permitted use in the B-1 and B-2 Zoning Districts. A local business<br />

owner has contacted Planning staff about locating an Adult Day Care Center<br />

in the County. The proposed amendment would clarify regulation of this use<br />

in the Zoning Ordinance.<br />

c. District 4 RZ-2011-00001 Application filed by Goodwill Industries of Central<br />

Virginia, Inc. requesting zoning reclassification from R-1 (Residential,<br />

Gretchen Biernot and her daughter Kyra (3) hold some<br />

shelled black eye peas at Meadow Farm Saturday. They<br />

came with a church group <strong>for</strong> the spring event that<br />

features a look at what the farmers of more than a century ago<br />

are up to at this time of year. One of those things is preparing<br />

<strong>for</strong> the spring planting by shelling peas <strong>for</strong> seed, said Meadow<br />

Another attraction Gardner pointed out were the two-week<br />

old lambs, just learning how to nibble on straw when they are<br />

not nursing.<br />
