Goochland supervisors held there first meeting of the year last week, electing a chairman and vice chairman as they always do. But some folks were not happy with the result, which gave District 2 member William E. Quarles Jr. a second year at the helm and retiring District 5 member James W. Eads another year as vice chairman. When time came to vote on Quarles’ nomination for chairman District 4 member Malvern R. “Rudy” Butler spoke up. “I’m going to vote no and I’m going to state this as part of my no vote,” said Butler. “We agreed to rotate this years ago and we did rotate it. It’s not fair to other people in other districts not to have somebody as chairman.” said Butler. “We’re not equally represented on this board by a chairman and I’m sorry it’s that way. Both Quarles and Eads won on 3-2 votes, with District 1 supervisor Andrew Pryor joining the two in securing their positions to lead the board for another year. District 3 supervisor Ned S. Creasey joined with Butler in the

no vote. Creasey had nominated Butler for chairman but his bid was defeated 2-3 by the same split. Butler nominated Creasey for vice chairman but there was no second. The lack of rotation of power did not sit well with several observers, who voiced their displeasure in the public comment period. Ann Rockecharlie spoke first. “I’ve been attending these meetings since 1997,” said Rockecharlie. “In 2000, some of you pushed very hard for a rotation of leadership,” she said. “We sitting out here thought that was wonderful.” “I can only wonder why Mr. Quarles, Mr. Pryor and Mr. Eads choose to close out Butler and Creasy from county leadership. Could it be that Butler and Creasy opened the door to open government? Hasn’t this county had enough of deals such as the one we’ve witnessed here today?” asked Rockecharlie. Two other speakers echoed her sentiments. David F. Ligon III said, “We felt that we were going to get see Supervisors > page 5

School Board hears budget presentation Mattox elected chairman, Haskell vice chair By Ken Odor jodor@goochlandgazette.com
The Goochland County School Board heard a budget presentation last week. But no figures were given, at least not to the people who came to the public meeting. Board members had the figures in their information packets. Starting at 6:30 p.m., the special meeting lasted until about 10:30, with the majority of the time devoted to the budget presentation.

For the public, the only access to the currently proposed school budget was on the school’s website, where it was posted on the agenda page. There one could learn that Superintendent Linda Underwood’s proposed budget for 2010-11 was $23,338,585, an increase of $380,468 or 2 percent more than last year’s budget as finally approved. Underwood told the board that a $693,000 decrease in the county transfer is anticipated for this year, as well as less money from the state and the loss of stimulus funds from the federal government. “Those three things are hanging over us,” said

Underwood, adding that she would not be saying anything more about revenue. “This budget is based on student needs and mandates,” Underwood then told the board. “It has absolutely nothing to do with revenue projections.” Underwood said the idea of postponing expenditures is different when it comes to children. “They only have that one year in the third grade,” she explained. This year’s proposed budget continues last year’s four day furlough feature, said Underwood. With that said, the superintendent with the help of several other staff members launched into a narrative analysis of what the proposed budget contained for the major divisions of Photo by Ken Odor the school system, listing Goochland School Superintendent Linda Underwood confers with newly elected School Board increases, reductions and chairman Ivan Mattox at last week’s School Board meeting.

CRC director threatens resignation over accounting questions By Ken Odor jodor@goochlandgazette.com
Questions over the finances of the Center for Rural Culture have led the organization’s Executive Director, Lisa Dearden, to demand an independent audit of the center’s financial records and threaten to resign if her demand is not met. In a January 5 email to members, Dearden cited a $33,000 difference in her totals and those of the November Treasurer’s report. In a phone interview later that day, she said the total may be closer to $20,000. “These discrepancies need to be accounted for,” said Dearden last week. In her email, Dearden said she has asked for an independent audit of the CRC’s financial records by a certified public accountant. Dearden said she has not been allowed access to the financial books of the non-profit organization since being named Executive Director three years ago. Dearden said she is responsible for writing the center’s annu-

al budget, a task made almost impossible without full access to the center’s books. “This situation is untenable,” wrote Dearden in her email, “and my letter to the Board demands the release of the CRC’s records for an independent CPA full audit. In addition, I no longer have confidence or trust in the Board’s current and past Presidents or the Treasurer, and I have asked for their resignations.” Dearden said in her email if her demands are not met, she will resign effective at the end of January and refer the matter to law enforcement, although she said in the phone interview that she is not accusing anyone of wrongdoing. Kate Flanagan, who cofounded the CRC over five years ago with Sandy Fisher, said over the weekend it was important to keep the mission of the CRC in the forefront. “This organization is bigger than any one person,” said Flannagan. “Any grassroots movement needs to be dedicated to that mission. Dearden said Monday that

she had spoken with some members of the board. “I don’t have any question that they are going to move forward with an audit,” said Dearden.
“That makes me very happy.” Reached Monday evening, newly installed CRC President Kate Sarfaty said, “The Board of Directors of the Center for Rural
Culture is not aware of any deficiencies in our financial records but we are having a Certified Public Accounting firm review the records. The CPA firm who
prepared our 2009 tax return found no discrepancies in our records. The same accounting practices were used in 2010 as in 2009.”
Bradshaw explores U.S. National Security at Fall Forum Contributed Report news@goochlandgazette.com
T. Samuel Bradshaw, II and Beth Parrish Bradshaw are proud to announce that their son Tennis S. Bradshaw, III was honorably nominated by his Honors History course teacher to attend the National Youth Leadership Forum on National Security, this past October in Washington D.C. Outstanding high school students from across the United States took part in a unique career development program in our nation’s capital. During the six-day program, the National Youth Leadership Forum on National Security (NYLF/NS): Exploring American Diplomacy, Intelligence and Defense intro-
duced students to the challenging careers in national security, intelligence, the diplomatic corps and more. Through specialized simulations, the students are put in the driver’s seat of building a strategy that will uphold our national security. The curriculum for the Forum on National Security is based on actual world events. Throughout the program, students use critical thinking, leadership and public speaking skills to tackle the complexity of national decision-making as they examine how the U.S. plans for peace and prepares for crisis. Students also participated in thought-provoking question and answer sessions with highly respected, internationally recognized civilian policy makers and
senior military. In addition, leading institutions open their doors to NYFL/NS students, where they are educated in diplomacy, international affairs and military strategy. These include visits to several government institutions and military installations, such as the U.S. Department of State, the U.S. Marine Corps Combat Development Command at Quantico, the Pentagon, the Defense Intelligence Agency, and U.S. Naval Academy, a variety of embassies and many others.

Supervisors continued from > page 1 some rotation so I just want to say that I am disappointed.� Susan Lascolette also spoke against the lack of rotation. Butler said Monday that he had been forewarned about the supervisors’ election result. “I had heard through the grapevine that some people felt it was best for the county for Quarles to remain as chairman,� said Butler. But he was not happy with the result, saying “We had a gentleman’s agreement,� about rotating the chairmanship. He called the vote “a stab in the back,� adding he thought the rotation of the chairmanship should be written into the board procedures. “It’s a shame,� he concluded.
Assessments down In the afternoon session, Assessor Glenn Branham gave his report on current assessments in the county. Overall assessments were down 3.8 percent from 2010
to $4,856,385,700 reported Branham. A 4 percent decline in assessments had been forecast, so the report was slightly better than expected. Branham said later in the week that he felt the real estate market showed signs of stabilizing. “Sales are more consistent and there is a little more activity,� he said. Commercial assessments declined by 2.53 percent, compared to 11.5 percent in 2010. Branham called that a “huge improvement.� In fact, of the nine properties, all but one (a foreclosure) sold

Foreclosures increased from 50 to 62 and property transfers declined from 676 to 642. Branham said in his report that this is a sign the market is stabilizing.

Busy day at the board meetings It was a trying time last Tuesday for civic minded Goochlanders, as they had to choose whether to attend either the Board of Supervisors evening session or the School Board meeting. Each board was holding its first meeting of the year. And each evening meeting had some meat to it. The supervisors were scheduled to hear a report on the KPMG audits and to vote on zoning for a proposed landfill. The School Board was to hear the first presentation of the school budget for the 2011-12 fiscal year. One had to wonder why some sort of arrangement couldn’t have been worked out. Couldn’t the two boards have held meetings on successive nights so that interested parties could attend both? Earlier in the day the supervisors elected their leadership for the coming year, with Bill Quarles and Jim Eads selected to reprise their roles as chair and vice chair for another year. The vote was 3-2, with Quarles, Eads and Andrew Pryor on the winning side and Ned Creasey and Rudy Butler the losers. Creasey had nominated Butler for chair but that vote failed 2-3. This roused the ire of a number of observers and made it appear yet again that the supervisors are divided into two factions, with Pryor regularly joining with Quarles and Eads in opposing Butler and Creasey. An informal agreement reached some years ago had been observed for awhile that called for rotation of supervisors in the chairman’s seat but that arrangement seems to have gone by the board now. While many who had attended the afternoon supervisors’ session decided to stay for the evening meeting, some folks migrated over to the School Board, one reason being that at least the supervisors’ meetings are recorded. Not so at the School Board. You have to be there to know what goes on. What went on at the School Board was a most curious budget presentation, a narrative description without any numbers projected on the screen for those who made the choice to attend rather than go to the evening supervisors meeting. School Superintendent Linda Underwood did allow as how the budget was on the web site, cold comfort to those who hadn’t brought along their laptop or some other electronic gizmo to give them access to it. The agenda said superintendent’s budget presentation, so where were the figures? Of course they will be revised several times before adopted but they should have been presented to the public at the meeting, either as handouts or on the screen. - Ken Odor

Schools budget is opportunity to get involved At the School Board meeting, Tuesday January 4, 2011, Superintendent Dr. Linda Underwood presented her proposed budget to the school board. This is an opportunity for the public to get involved, as there are several areas of concern to teachers, children, parents and tax payers alike.
We need to press our school board and the Superintendent to involve the public as they formulate the newly declared strategic planning initiative/comprehensive planning process, in light of drive for a new vision, mission, and supporting goals. We need a curriculum that supports and prepares our children k-12 to be responsible, wellinformed, technically competent and ready for college or otherwise. This ought to be our goal as a school system, and subsequent-
ly, this has to drive our school budget. While this year’s budget proposal is an improvement over that of last year, we still are lacking balance in areas where adjustments are made. Teaching staff is still shrinking and the operating budget is still skewed in favor of allocations to in the administrative section. The Superintendent and the School Board need to explain to the public’s satisfaction, the see Letters > page 7

Are there any limits on moving lump sums among different areas of the budget? What are they? Where is the accountability in all this?

Our children need more capable and competent teachers in the classrooms and less administrative overhead.

Dearden. The volunteer Board of Directors for the CRC are people who have served this community for decades. They are on this board because of their dedication to the mission of the CRC and expertise in the roles they serve. I respect them for the service and leadership that they have given this organization and our community. The executive director has worked hard for the mission of the CRC as a paid employee, and because of her nature of her job, has become the face of the organization. This was her role. But I urge you all to recognize that one person is not the organization. No doubt an audit will be conducted and this issue will be resolved. But, it is my opinion that the executive director has done more damage to the CRC, and its mission, by her reckless behavior. If there is a grassroots
movement, I encourage that movement to be that you each rededicate yourself to the mission of the Center for Rural Culture. It is my belief that this organization can remain strong because it is bigger than any one of us. The mission of the Center for Rural Culture is to educate, promote and inspire members of our community to sustain a culture that supports agriculture and the local economy, protects natural and historic resources, and maintains our rural character and traditions. There is nothing sustainable about the actions of this executive director. Thank you Kate, Hank, Sandy, Keith, Robert, Denise, Maureen, Sandy, Rossi, and Steffi for your commitment and service to the CRC.

The kids will be suffering,” he said. In the second public comment period (there were no speakers in the first) Jo D.
Hoskins spoke, urging board members to be firm. “If you would check into Lexington, Virginia who said they would not take another budget cut you would have parent support.” A public hearing on the budget was scheduled to be held at the regularly scheduled School Board meeting January 11. The board meets again on January 11 and is then scheduled to approve a budget at its January 25 workshop meeting.

James Correctional Center, DOC’s oldest facility will close April 1. The inmate population of 450 will be moved to other facilities. Efforts will be made to place the 160 employees in other positions within the DOC.
Prison continued from > page 1 maximize the placement of our employees at James River. This will include holding relevant vacancies which may require the rest of us to help cover for these vacant positions while the placement process proceeds.,” wrote Clarke. Traylor said efforts would be made to absorb some of the correctional center inmates by
the work center if appropriate, as well as placing some of the affected employees at the work center if possible. How the closing will affect Goochland is hard to determine, said Assistant County Administrator Don Charles, Director of Community Development. “We’ve never done an economic analysis of the prison’s impact on Goochland,” said Charles, who said the power
plant will be decommissioned and the prison building will be mothballed. Charles said the county is very interested in maintaining the infrastructure at the center since the water for the courthouse area comes from the site. William E. Quarles Jr., the chairman of the Board of Supervisors, said anytime a facility closes, the county is concerned about losing business and jobs, and he said
Goochland has been in close touch with prison officials. “None of the folks there are expected to lose a job — though they may be moved somewhere else — so that’s a good thing,” said Quarles. “We understand in times of budget crises that things are going to have to be done. But it looks like they are working to ensure that there’s not a lot of displacement of folks and that business, as best as it can, will be
minimally disrupted. Anything that Goochland County can do to help, we’ll do it.” District 4 supervisor Malvern R. “Rudy Butler said the closing would affect the county somewhat, citing the money prison employees spend in the county. It is not known how many of the prison’s employees are Goochland residents. Traylor and Quarles said they were not aware of any plans for the state to sell any of
the property. Traylor said the retired Thoroughbred horse care program for inmates will continue to operate out of the work center, which is not being closed. The Pen Pals program that teaches inmates how to train dogs will continue at other prisons, he said. Richmond Times Dispatch reporter Frank Green contributed to this article.

Bulldogs notch first win of the season, 69-63 BY JIM RIDOLPHI Special Correspondent
Sometimes, getting the first win of the season becomes more of a mental block for a team than the actual challenge of winning a game. Sitting at 0-6, Goochland found itself in that position as they prepared to meet William Monroe last Friday night. But the Bulldogs jumped out to an early lead and never trailed, notching their first win of the season, 69-63 over the visiting Dragons. “It’s good to get that monkey of our back,” said GHS coach Oliver Courtney. “Sometimes, it’s more a mental hurdle just getting that first win, so I was glad to see them get over that hump.” The Bulldogs came out firing and mounted a 10-point lead early in the second period. The Dragons kept it within reach with three point shots,
but Goochland would not allow them to mount a comeback run. Pinpoint outside shooting provided the key for the victory. “Once we started hitting some outside shots, it opened up some other areas of our game,” Courtney said. “I thought the kids hustled on both ends of the floor.” Also, protecting a big lead against a talented team is a nerve-wracking procedure. “You have to know when to slow it down and not take the shot and that’s something we still have to work on,” Courtney said. The Dragons got within seven early in the third quarter, but GHS again increased the lead. The visitors made another run late in the game, but the Bulldogs didn’t fold and held on for the victory. “We have to learn how to end a game better, but I thought
it was a good effort by our team tonight,” Courtney said. “We do need to learn when to pull it back.” The coach said some of his players really stepped up to secure the first win for the Bulldogs. “Cody Johnson (25 points) had a phenomenal game and I thought he shot the ball real well,” Courtney said. “Some guys who didn’t play at the beginning of the year also are playing well including Earnest Morris who hit some shots for us early.” Zail Smith also came off the bench to contribute. “I thought big Zail did a good job for us coming up with five or six rebounds. He was big out there tonight,” Courtney said. Zakell Johnson broke his nose in the process but also contributed with five rebounds during his limited play. Courtney is hoping for a continuation of the outside
game as the team goes through its second run at Jefferson District competition. “It comes down to the outside shooting,” Courtney said. “When we are hitting them, teams cannot focus on just one man on our roster. If we can hit from the outside, we can play with anybody.” GOOCHLAND 69, W MONROE 63 WILLIAM MONROE (n/r) — Batten 10, Lawson 2, Faulkner 8, Morris 3, Omahundro 3, Gentry 8, Shaver 16, Kryninsky 6, Williams 5, White 2.

Lady Bulldogs fall to William Monroe, 67-31 BY JIM RIDOLPHI Special Correspondent
The Goochland girl’s basketball team took on Jefferson District leader William Monroe last week and came up on the short end of a 67-31 thumping. “William Monroe is a very good team,” said Bulldog coach Sarah Voyack. “They pushed the ball in transition and we did not get back on defense. They had many offensive weapons - both inside and out.” The Bulldogs fell behind early and the Dragons utilized a strong defense that didn’t allow Goochland to get back into the game, despite a hard fought effort. “I thought we played good team defense tonight and that was the key,” said Monroe coach Phillip Lamb. “We knew
Goochland would come ready to play. They are well coached and their coach always has them ready to play hard.” The Dragons now find themselves in a crowd at the top of the Jefferson District. “Western, William Monroe and Charlottesville are the top three teams in the district with the rest of us fighting for the remaining spots,” Voyack said. “We let a couple of games (Orange and Monticello) slip through our hands so I hope to compete better against them.” The Lady Bulldogs have upped their game this season, and the rest of the league, including William Monroe are taking note. “It took us a while to get a lead, because Goochland always plays hard and they don’t quit,” Lamb said. “I give them a lot of credit for their efforts tonight.”
The Dragons played the transition game to perfection and scored many of their points on turnover or quick break baskets. “We stress transition and defense and they did a good job for most of the game tonight,” Lamb said. Voyack and her team now regroup for a second run through the district and the coach is encouraged by the improved play of her team. Carrie Mills is showing a take-charge leadership role that serves the Lady Bulldogs well, according to Voyack. “Carrie Mills has improved tremendously since last season,” Voyack said. “She has been a pleasant surprise in offensive output for us.” Other parts of the puzzle appear to be falling in place also. “Tammara Taylor continues to play well for us and
Chakiryn Jackson has great court vision and passing ability which has allowed to open some things up for other players,” Voyack said. The team is also getting some help from it younger players. “Freshman Jessica Liddle has been playing well also - though suffered a minor injury last week so we hope to have her back this week.” Voyack said.

Legend of the Poinsettia at the Cultural Arts Center By Ken Odor Media General Staff Writer After performing The Legend of the Poinsettia before a packed house at a Sunday afternoon matinee at the Cultural Arts Center in Glen Allen, Founder and Artistic Director Ana Ines King of the Latin Ballet of Virginia paused for a moment before heading out for a late lunch.

where else,” she laughed. If they came to the Cultural Arts Center last weekend, they got a dose of high energy dancing and lively music that kept the standing room only crowd excited throughout the two-hour performance. The Legend of the Poinsettia tells the story of Maria, taken from a Mexican legend of a poor little girl who could not afford a gift for the Baby Jesus, who picks a handful of weeds that are magically transformed into the crimson petals. Thus was the tradition of giving poinsettias at Christmas established. Throughout the performance, Latin dance numbers from many countries are produced. There is the Navidad Flamenca from Spain, the Domincan Republic, Venezuela and Columbia. At the end of the production
the miracle takes place when Maria’s handful of weeds are magically transformed into the poinsettias, which rain down from the rafters of the theater. King, a native of Columbia, has more than 20 years of teaching, directing and performing in the United States and South America. She holds a B.F.A. in Dance and Choreography from the Instituto de Bellas Artes of Colombia, South America King founded and was Artistic Director of the Santander Jazz Ballet from 1985 to 1995. She was awarded “Best National Choreographer” for “One Hundred Years of Solitude” in Colombia, SA and her choreography of “Annie” for Televisa, Mexico was awarded Best Children’s Film of the Year.

The Latin Ballet Junior Company performs dances in the Las Novenas scene. The idea of commemorating the Holy Family’s journey to Bethlehem can be traced to St. Ignatius Loyola in the 16th century. He suggested a Christmas novena, or special prayers, to be said on nine successive days. In 1580, St. John of the Cross made a religious pageant out of the proceedings, and seven years later the nine-day remembrance was introduced to the natives by Spanish missionaries. Solemn and deeply religious at first, the observances soon became imbued with the spirit of fun and eventually left the church and began to be celebrated in people’s homes.
