Audit reveals high-dollar reporting errors 40 errors, spanning multiple years, blamed on mismanagement

Goochland School Superintendent Linda Underwood goes over the latest budget changes at last weeks school board workshop meeting.

Revelations of mismanagement continue to plague Goochland County as an ongoing audit for fiscal 2009 reports more than 40 errors spanning multiple years.

Rob Churchman of KPMG, an

auditing firm hired by the county last May, presented an update to the Board of Supervisors last week, disclosing that errors, in some cases totaling millions of dollars, were the result of flawed reporting practices and a lack of checks and balances.

County Administrator Rebecca T. Dickson said the county has been working closely with KPMG throughout the see Audit> page 2

auditing process, and was not surprised by the report. “The bottom line is there is no money missing in the coffers,� said Dickson. “What are missing are internal controls and procedures.�

Dickson said that there will be action plans created in response to each of the issues identified in the final audit report, scheduled to be presented May 4.

So far the audit has discovered accounting mistakes throughout the county, including problems related to governmental activities, the school board, the economic development authority and the county’s utilities department and sanitary districts.

The most glaring errors involve assets and debts that were reported inaccurately, or completely omitted.

In the case of governmental activities, nearly $3.5 million worth of contractual liabilities related to an economic -development agreement in 2001 had never been recorded.

Disposed capital assets, such as county-owned

vehicles that were no longer operable, were recorded, while viable assets still in use were not; such miscalculations totaled almost $1.1 million.

Auditors also discovered that more than $4.1 million worth of capital debt issued in 2003 for the Tuckahoe Creek Service District was not recorded. Churchman pointed out that that unrecorded debt was offset by unrecorded capital assets, including $3.4 million in office part infrastructure.

Also related to the Tuckahoe Creek Service District was $343,000 in wastewater capacity rights and liability, related to an agreement with the City of Richmond entered into in 2002, which had never been recorded.

The countywide audit was requested by the Board of Supervisors last year after an investigation of the county’s utilities department revealed almost $200,000 in undeposited checks from fiscal years 2007 and 2008. A subsequent forensic audit found that unremitted payments, as well as past due invoices, had been an ongoing problem in the department for years.

In a separate review last fall, the county’s treasurer’s office received a notice of noncompliance from the

state’s auditor of public accounts after it failed to remit sheriff ’s fees totaling $1,465 for fiscal year 2009; the fees were classified and deposited to a local account rather than to the state.

The treasurer’s office also waited up to four months to remit other fees, totaling $636. “Misallocations do happen,� said Dickson, who said that County Treasurer Brenda S. Grubbs had quickly corrected the error. “As long as we have procedures to correct and identify them, that’s where we’re trying to head.�

Dickson said that one anticipated procedure will be a schedule of regularly evaluating and rotating the external auditors hired by the county.

This year’s audit found that the county had, in past years, failed to take ownership of its financial reporting process, relying instead on its former auditor, Robinson, Farmer, Cox Associates, to compile its annual financial statements. “We should have changed auditors years ago,� said District 4 Supervisor Malvern “Rudy� Butler, noting that the previous firm had performed the county’s audits for more than a decade. “I wouldn’t mind seeing

them go back to when the TCSD started, to audit all those years to now,� Butler said. “I think we need to know, where did it start?�

District 3 Supervisor Ned S. Creasey agreed. “This all needs to get out there now because if not, it will be dribbling out for how long a period of time, I don’t know,� he said. “We’ve got to do the right thing.�

Creasey also fears that the county’s fiscal integrity could be in jeopardy.

Dickson says that she is already communicating with the county’s lenders to ease concerns. “I have been in touch with VRA (Virginia Resources Authority), our biggest lender,� she said. “Once the results are done, and we’ve got the documents in the shape they should be in, then the plan going forward will be, what do you look like going forward, to insure this doesn’t happen again?�

In the meantime, “those that made this mess should be held accountable,� said long-term resident Ann James. “People are furious-- I’ve been saying this for years, to come to these board meetings, to make this their business,� said James. “Now they wish they had; it’s hit them in the pocketbook.�

April 1, 2010

Budget continued from > page 1 lion, and the county is still facing a budget shortfall of nearly $1.5 million for next year.

Real estate taxes, which fell 8.2 percent this year

“Retirement savings have restored most compensation board distributions to localities, including $310,000 to Goochland.”

— County Administrator Rebecca T. Dickson and are expected to decline an additional four percent next year, are the county’s largest source of income, said Dickson earlier this month.

There is little to no growth expected in the county’s other sources of income, such as personal property taxes, recordation taxes, business license taxes, building permits and investment income.

At this month’s Board of Supervisors meeting Dickson offered four options to balance the budget: Further reductions, two- or –three cent tax rate increases combined with the use of fund balance, or a 4-cent tax rate increase.

At last week’s work session, however, she changed her recommendations to

reflect changes made in retirement rates and compensation board reimbursements.

“Tonight I am narrowing my recommendations to two,” she said at last week’s Board of Supervisors meeting, citing the 4-cent increase as her primary choice.

“Retirement savings have restored most compensation board distributions to localities, including $310,000 for Goochland,” said Dickson.

The retirement plan changes will provide a significant one-time expenditure savings, said Dickson, but added, “That savings, much like the stimulus funds, will go away.”

Dickson is proposing that the county use the $310,000 received from the state to restore some cuts that had been made in the Feb. 23 proposed budget. In the updated recommended budget, that would include a 4-cent tax rate increase, furlough days for public safety departments would be eliminated, and some reductions to the sheriff ’s office and the fire and rescue and animal control departments would be restored.

The planning commission would continue at 10 members, and countywide furlough days, with the exception of public safety employees, would drop from three to two.

In addition to balancing the 2011 budget, a 4cent increase would restore about $800,000 in 2010 revenue to fund balance and establish a higher revenue baseline for the 2012 budget, which is already facing a net challenge of more than $1.9 million.

The current tax rate in Goochland County is 53 cents per $100 in assessed value. Tax rates in sur-

POLITICS: Government, Elections rounding counties include 62 cents in Louisa, 71 cents in Powhatan, 87 cents in Henrico and 95 cents in Chesterfield.

Another way to raise funds, according to the proposed budget, would be to raise convenience center fees, and county and Tuckahoe Creek Service District utility rates. Although utility rate changes do not affect general fund revenues, they can help reduce general fund expenses.

Dickson said that if supervisors do not raise the tax rate, possible reductions could include the elimination of six more county positions.

The state is expected to reduce aid to localities, especially in public education and in compensation board reimbursements for constitutional officers such as the sheriff, treasurer and

commissioner of the revenue.

Also affecting the budget are rising healthcare and retirement costs, expected to total nearly $200,000 in 2011; permanent funding for a deputy county administrator, expected to cost $97,500 from the general fund; and pay-as-you go funding for the Pro Forma Capital Improvement Plan, scheduled to cost $200,000.

“If nothing changes, the budget still changes,” said Dickson. “If we do nothing else, the cost does tend to go up.”

A public hearing on the budget, tax rates, the capital improvement program, utility rates and ordinance changes will be held March 30. The Board of Supervisors is scheduled to make its final decisions regarding the budget on April 6.

Schools continued from > page 1 Frustration with the impasse led parents to form an advocacy group, the Goochland Education Parents Association (GEPA), which submitted an alternative budget advocating eliminating at least six positions in administration.

“GEPA’s position is that cuts shouldn’t be made in teaching,” said GEPA chairperson Jo D. Hoskins.

“I read the GEPA budget very closely,” School Superintendent Linda Underwood said Monday, adding that she believed school board members also received copies of the proposal.

But Underwood has not made any of the suggested revisions, and at least one member of GEPA now thinks the superintendent should be replaced.

GEPA member John Wright asked at last Tuesday’s meeting if Underwood’s job performance had been reviewed.

School board counsel Andrea Erard answered that any such review would have been referred to in the

closed meeting motion that would have preceded it.

Wright’s feelings regarding Underwood are clear: “It is my personal opinion that she should be replaced,” he said.

But Hoskins isn’t that unequivocal.

“It’s not a personal thing between GEPA and Dr. Underwood,” said Hoskins. “GEPA feels that her role needs to be evaluated and seriously reviewed.”

School board chairman Raymond Miller said last week that the board would do a regular review of the superintendent’s performance in April.

He expressed confidence in Underwood.

“If student achievement is going up and costs are going down then someone is doing a good job,” said Miller, referring to Underwood’s performance.

Under pressure from GEPA, some positions formerly in instruction have been moved to the administration category, but none have been eliminated.

Hoskins called the re-categorizing a positive move, but vice-chair Jane Christie was not satisfied.

“It’s a lovely budget shuffle but it hasn’t changed anything. No administrative positions have been eliminated,” said Christie.

Underwood defends the administrative jobs as necessary for the schools to operate smoothly.

What remains to be seen is whether the board of supervisors will appropriate money in the amounts for the several categories that will allow Underwood’s budget to be implemented.

A public hearing on the county budget, the school budget and proposed tax rates was scheduled for Tuesday night March 30 at 7 p.m. at the Goochland High School auditorium.

Final budget approval is expected on April 6.

“I am hopeful that the time I spent with the board of supervisors will help,” said Underwood. “Once the supervisors approve the budget on April 6 we will align it with the categorical appropriations.”

Agnew said that a resident found the note last week under the U.S. 522

bridge crossing the James River at Maidens and delivered it to the sheriff ’s office.

“This was a graphic note soliciting specific acts with young boys,” said Agnew.

The note was left, he added, at a spot popular among Goochland youth. “Kids fish there, and gather on the weekend.”

The note included two cell phone numbers, and earlier this week Goochland deputies began texting Kirby to set up a meeting near the 522, or Maidens, Bridge.

An u n d e rcove r Chesterfield County police officer, chosen due to his youthful appearance, posed as a 14-year-old and met Kirby around 4:30 p.m.

Officials say Kirby, who later admitted to writing the note, proposed to perform oral sex and other sexual acts on the undercover officer.

Mismanaging our integrity An early audit report has reintroduced us to Goochland’s frequent and familiar foe: Mismanagement.

Mismanagement has wreaked havoc in the county for years, according to a forensic audit of the utilities department last year and this year’s countywide review.

But how could this happen? And how could it keep happening?

Many are asking that those responsible be held accountable, and that is a natural impulse to news that 40 reporting errors, which at times included not reporting anything at all and at times concerned millions of dollars, have taken place over the past year.

But those that could shed some light on the county’s murky management techniques have moved beyond their former roles as Goochland’s county administrator, county attorney and director of utilities.

Those who now lead us have stressed the need for a blank slate on which to write detailed, black-and-white procedures that will prevent this from happening again.

Of course that is exactly what we should do.

But as Rudy Butler noted in front of his fellow supervisors last week, somewhere along the lines the figures got lost.

How, and at what point? And who knew about it? And why?

Well, there are clues here and there to the how of it; some of them are even listed out for us in the preliminary audit report that cites erroneous balances or calculations, a lack of checks and balances and an over-reliance on an auditing firm that, somehow, still stands by financial statements that have been proven flawed.

But who knew about it, and who they told, and why it continued... those answers remain elusive.

That is one of the most frustrating aspects of Goochland’s continuing administrative debacles-- a relentless lack of anyone who will stand up and say, “Hey, here I am! I contributed to this, I made a few mistakes, and here is how and why, and what I will do to change my ways in the future.”

County Administrator Rebecca Dickson responded to concerns about the county’s fiscal integrity last week; the integrity of those who contributed to Goochland’s fiscal confusion, however, remains in question.

Volunteer rescue squad offers help I am writing in response to the letter from Joan Garrabant describing her dog’s rescue from a pond. (March 11, 2010). While I am very glad that both Jimmy and Mr. Doody survived their icy plunge, I could not help but imagine a different outcome.

I have been a volunteer with the Goochland Volunteer Rescue Squad for 20 years. One thing that is empha-

sized in all our training is safety. Our number one goal is to ensure our own personal safety and then the safety of our crew and patient. If Ms. Garrabant were ever to confront a situation again with her pet in the water, I would recommend that she call 911 and have the water rescue team respond. This team is equipped to handle such a situation. In fact, the team responded to two similar dog rescues this winter.

Our county rescue volunteers are

more than happy to assist our citizens when such a crisis occurs.

Letters continued from > page 6 As an avid cyclist and someone who spends a lot of time riding and driving in Goochland I wanted to give a friendly reminder to both drivers and other cyclists.

According to Virginia Code 46.2-800 bicyclists shall have all of the rights and duties applicable to the driver of a vehicle. Section 46.2-905 allows for bicyclists to ride no more than two abreast but MUST move into a single file line when approached from behind by a faster moving vehicle. Furthermore, the following considerations are important: • Share the road with all users, including bicycles.

• Motor vehicles should pass bicycles with care by slowing down and allowing as much clearance as is safe to do.

• Pay attention when driving. Distractions could ruin a cyclists day, even threaten their life.

• Impatience and road rage could injure or kill someone.

• Yielding, waiting, being patient only takes a few seconds of time and could save a life.

• Bicycles AND motorists should obey traffic signs.

• Bicycles AND motorists should use turn signals, use lights, be safe, and share the road.

• Bicyclists do pay taxes.

Most bicyclists own vehicles, drive vehicles, own property, pay taxes. They also pay sales tax on the bike, helmet, clothing, and gear. The road “belongs” to bicyclists as much as it does anybody else.

April 1, 2010 if everyone keeps a cool head and exercises a bit of patience.

Please remember this as we all try to use the scenic roads we are fortunate to have here in Goochland County.

Ethan Seltzer Oilville

Conserving county resources Since our esteemed “Stupor”intendent of Schools, Linda Under“foot,” declared in her recent E-mail, “the battle is on,” I can’t help but use the military term “target rich environment” to describe the low hanging budgetary fruit awaiting harvest from our proposed Goochland County Public School’s budget. Yes, we have many other fiscal “fish to fry,” but my recent brief behavioral observations at the March 23 School Board workshop paint too vivid a portrait to hide it behind a curtain.

When speaking during the public comment period during our School Board’s March 9 meeting, I chastised the board for printing the many copies of their agenda singled-sided. The last time I checked a copy machine, it did not require an Ed.D. degree to push the doubled-sided button, yet upon arriving at the March 23 workshop meeting, I was greeted by, you guessed it, another agenda printed on one side. Our school board shows their “open-mindedness” to constructive criticism by being truly “open-minded,” in one ear, and out of the other!

The next thing that caught my attention was the containers of bottled water at the place of each board member,

and those at their table. Is there something wrong with the courthouse district’s tap water, or can those breathing the “rarified air” only drink the purest nectars our tax dollars can buy?

Last but not least, I witnessed the magnificent appearance of Ray “Tardy Boy” Miller, making his grand, albeit late, entrance, swaggering into the room after the 6:30 p.m. starting time like Jackie Gleason’s Ralph Kramden character hustling into a Raccoon Club meeting.

The overall picture portrayed by these seemingly trivial brush stokes present a pattern of unbridled arrogance.

Ms. Underwood’s continued unwillingness to make cuts to the top heavy central office staff is offensively obscene, considering her “Mo Money, Mo Money, Mo Money” mentality towards printing and refreshment expenses. She takes Goochland’s citizenry for fools, thinking her budgetary shell game” are effective.

Her chicanery is about as successful as the baseball caps trying to fool your eyes between innings on The Diamond’s center field Jumbotron.

When asked on her blog, “Why are we paying for massive legal fees for Special Ed out of Special Ed “Instruction” category?” she answers, “We do have substantial expenditures for special education legal fees.

If it were not necessary to fund this line, we certainly would like to be able to allocate those funds to other instructional areas. However, when parents of special education students retain attorneys as a part of their procedural due process, we also need legal representation. To have our staff face special education attorneys without legal representation would put us at risk of pay-

ing for additional or different services that would cost the schools much more money, for many years, than the cost of the attorneys.”

We are all making personal household sacrifices as she drinks bottled water on our dime, while generously doling our dollars to her legal cronies rather than into the classroom teaching our special needs students. Ms. Underwood’s background is special education. Our special educators, under her esteemed leadership, should be quite capable of professionally defending their programs.

In the midst of this turbulent tumult, the silence of our school board, led by “Tardy Boy,” is deafening!

Yellow Jackets starting to roll behind hot bats Former Goochland standout Brian Jordan named ODAC Player of the Week

BY CHARLIE LEFFLER cleffler@goochlandgazette.com

A

shland, Va.- Just two weeks ago, the season was not looking very promising for the Randolph-Macon baseball team. After getting off to a 3-2 start the Yellow Jackets dropped seven of their next nine games.

But recently the team has seen a reversal of fortune as the young players have begun to gel with the more experienced leaders allowing R-MC to win five of their last six games.

On Sunday afternoon, the Yellow Jackets continued their roll, running past visiting Emory & Henry in double-header action; taking the pair of games 8-1 and 10-1.

More importantly the team is starting to hit its stride as the regular season winds down to its final 12 games. Over their last four games, R-MC has gone on an offensive roll by outscoring their opponents 60-19. With Sunday’s pair of wins R-MC moves to 10-9 overall and sit in second place with a 7-3 Old Dominion Conference record.

“We’re playing good right now,” said senior pitcher Kyle Hicks. “Our freshmen are really coming together now.”

“It started off kind of rough but I think we finally got it figured out,” said sophomore centerfielder Brian Jordan. “We’re on a little bit of a roll right now. I think we’ll be in pretty good shape.

And the former Goochland High School standout should know about being on a roll.

This week Jordan was named ODAC Player of the Week after going 9-for-19 at the plate with three doubles, nine RBI, six walks and ten runs scored over the past four games.

Currently Jordan is second on the team and ninth in the ODAC with a .400 batting average and is tied for the team RBI lead with

18 runs batted in.

What makes the current run even more impressive is the fact that R-MC continues to improve despite losing junior third baseman Greg Mitro and senior short stop Adam Carpenter to injury. To compound matters, Jordan has been unable to pitch in relief. But the losses have actually created a since of unity within the team.

“Now even with Adam hurt and Mitro hurt and BJ (Jordan) not being able to pitch I think we’re coming together really good,” Hicks said. “When we get all of three them back we ought to right.”

In Sunday’s opener, with his younger brother, UVA standout John in the crowd, Kyle Hicks got the start on the mound coming one out from a complete game shut-out of the Wasps.

While not a perfect game, Hicks showed his determination by battling back from

adversity more than once.

In the top of the second Hicks got into a jam with one out after giving up a walk, a single then hitting a batter. But the former Goochland standout bounced back to strike out the next two and escape without damage.

In the top of the fifth Hicks found himself in a similar situation after giving up a single and a walk. But Hicks fielded a bunt to catch a runner at third then struck out the next two to once again keep Emory & Henry scoreless.

“I walked too many people one thing,” he said. “But all I had to do was let (E&H) hit it I knew (R-MC) would catch it.”

Because of his ability to get out of jams, the other players are confident when Hicks is on the mound. “Kyle’s our one,” said freshman right fielder Jeb Weymouth. “He has all his pitches and throws all his strikes and hits stops and I just think makes it tough.”

Jordan got the Yellow Jackets rolling offensively in the bottom of the third. After Ryan Hughes singled to right, Jordan came to the plate sending a double to left center to drive in Hughes for a 1-0 lead. Jordan reached third on a sacrifice to center by Kevin Davis then scored on a sacrifice to deep right by Weymouth.

In the bottom of the sixth, R-MC added six more runs and Jordan was in the middle of the action. Holding a 6-0 lead, Jordan singled off the first baseman’s glove driving in James Bierlien. Jordan then scored from first when Davis doubled down the third base line.

In the second game, Jordan scored one of three runs on three hits in the first inning as R-MC continued to roll.

Lacrosse starting to catch fire at local schools Increase in interest, teams, provides lift for players

BY JIM RIDOLPHI sports@goochlandgazette.com

H

igh school lacrosse is taking its deserved place in the high school spring sports schedule. The sport that was once widely unknown is quickly becoming a staple for many student athletes both male and female.

Last week, a powerful Mills E. Godwin club team visited the Abbey in eastern Goochland County to take on Benedictine at Bobby Ross Stadium. Amply filled stands and enthusiastic cheers evidenced the emergence of a sport that is quickly moving south of the Mason Dixon Line.

“It takes a while for it to take hold, to establish a tradition and get some players who are familiar with the game,” said John Deck, who works on the Benedictine coaching staff after spend-

ing years with the Richmond Shock program.

Deck played at University of Virginia before co-founding the Shock program, and now spends his lacrosse time on the sidelines for Benedictine. He is in his second year.

“Its’ great to see more kids participating in the sport,” he said. “When I was in Chesterfield, we struggled to find practice fields, equipment and viable competition, but that’s all changed now,” Deck said. “Here, we have everything we need and a beautiful place to play,” The Cadets, under the direction of head coach Gerard Gaughran, started off the 2010 slowly, facing some tough competition with the likes of Notre Dame Academy and Blue Ridge. Facing the Godwin Lacrosse Club last Saturday, Benedictine was 1-3 on the season.

After the teams struggled offensively for the much of the first quarter, Benedictine broke a scoreless tie when Richard Foley found Bret Keller in front of the Eagle goal and converted.

Cadet goalie Bennie Hall fought off several Eagle shots and Benedictine played much of the first quarter on the offensive end of the field.

“I thought we played a good first quarter against a tough team,” Deck said. “We just couldn’t keep it up when the second quarter began.”

Zack Sadovszky got it going for the Eagles, penetrating the crease and whipping a shot in the Cadet goal.

Tim Lancaster added another goal shortly after with 8:09 remaining, the eagles took their first lead, 2-1.

The Eagles took a four point lead to halftime, but the Cadets made it a game early in the third period when Foley scored again from inside the crease. However, 4-2 was as close as the Cadets could get to a 4-0 Eagles club.

Tyler Workman scored two of his four goals in the third period and Tony Cannella added a late goal to make the final 10-3.

“I thought we started a little slow today, but played well the rest of the game,” said Godwin head coach Dave Daley. “I thought we shot the

ball well and played with good intensity on defense,” he added. “We were right on the crease all day long and that’s the kind of shots we are looking for —the easy ones.”

Godwin’s team, which is expected to become a full varsity sport next year, is comprised of a majority of seniors and Daley said they made the difference in the win over the Cadets.

“I’d have to give credit to our seniors,” Daley said. “Eric Chrzaszcz has been playing great, and Tony Canella ran attack for us today. Our goalie, Zack Herlich as been outstanding all year. Our senior defense of Will Erickson, Christina Bryant and Alex Williams all did a great job too.”

Everything’s starting to fall into place.”

Baseball continued from > 8 home Bierlein then scored on a pass ball for a 5-0 lead.

Jordan believes the key to R-MC’s sudden success has simply been a matter of gaining confidence. “We have the talent to beat anyone in our league or anyone in any other league,” he said. “We’ve got to know that we can beat anybody on any given day.”

-Something that bodes well for the rest of the season. “I think we’re doing very well,” Weymouth said. “The pitchers are throwing strikes and the hitters are hitting it.

Statue donated to arts center Contributed Report

Conributed Photo

Zach Hayworth (left), Patrick Brew, Claire Petrie, John Kutz (Co-Captain) and Josh Anders of The Deep Run High School Robotics Team pose with some special headgear at the regional robotics competition last month.

Henrico Schools excel at Virginia FIRST Robotics Regional competition Contributed Report March Madness took over the VCU Siegel Center last month, but it wasn’t about basketball. High school students— mad about robots—took over the arena for three days of intense competition.

The robotics team known as Blue Cheese and their robot “Blue Swiss” took home the regional title at the Virginia FIRST Robotics Regional Competition held March 18-20 at the Siegel Center. The team from Deep Run High School, often known by just its team number 1086, battled 63 other high school teams during the competition.

In all, five teams representing Henrico County Public Schools competed in the FIRST Robotics Competition.

The HCPS high school teams that participated this year included Deep Run, Tucker, Godwin, Highland Springs, and a combined team of Henrico High School with Hermitage Technical Center. HCPS robotics teams took home the following

awards: Deep Run won the Engineering Inspiration award, considered the second highest honor in FIRST; Godwin took the Web Design Award. Internationally, the competition incorporated over 1,809 teams, over 45,225 students, and thousands upon thousands of volunteers and mentors.

Each year, FIRST Robotics challenges teams with a new game and supplies each team with a kit of parts, which teams use to construct their robots. In a race against the clock, teams have six weeks to strategize, design and program their robots for the competition.

The sports-like competition teaches teamwork and project management, but it also incorporates web design, business and marketing skills.

Highland Springs team 617 (Engin3rds) were the captain of the 7th seeded alliance and made it to the finals; Deep Run’s team 1086 was ranked 14th and was picked by the number one seeded team 1676 – Pascack Pioneer.

Pascack Valley Regional High School District of Montvale, NJ; J.R. Tucker team 384 (Sparky) was ranked 36th; Godwin team 540 (Talon Robotics) was ranked 51st ; and Henrico/Hermitage Tech were 63rd. The number one seed 1676 paired with Deep Run and 1418 Vae Victus from George Mason High School won the regional event with an undefeated record.

The Deep Run team will move on to compete at the North Carolina Regional held April 1-3. Blue Cheese will compete in the international championship held at the Georgia Dome in Atlanta, Ga. held April 15-17.

Deep Run’s Head robotics coach Connor Clarke was nominated by his students and won the Woodie Flowers Award.

This award celebrates effective communication in the art and science of engineering and design. Dr. William Murphy founded this prestigious award in 1996 to recognize mentors who lead, inspire and empower using excellent communication skills.

Nationally recognized sculptor Paul DiPasquale has donated, on permanent loan, a scaled-down version of his statue Neptune currently in Neptune Park on the Virginia Beach ocean front to the Cultural Arts Center At Glen Allen.

This smaller version created in bronze, which measures nine feet tall to the tip of the trident (including base) and weighs 900 pounds, was completed in 2004

by DiPasquale to plan the proportions of the full scale statue.

The full scale version measures 34 feet tall (including base) and weighs 12 ½ tons. While on loan, this sculpture will be available for sale with proceeds benefitting The Center. The sculpture was installed in the crepe myrtle garden at the front entrance to The Center last Thursday.

Charles Luck Stone Center donated a pair of two ton stone blocks upon which the statue sits.

The blocks each measure 24” x 60” x 24” tall forming a 48” x 60” base.

They have been sawed on the tops and ends and have rough

Neptune

sides which will compliment the overall appearance of the statue.

With The Center’s mission of “inspiring creativity and stimulating the senses through music, dance, art and theatre” the sculpture has found a perfect home.

“This will be a wonderful addition to the grounds of The Center which aligns perfectly with our mission,” said Anita Waters, Director of Marketing for The Center.

The Center is a private, non-profit organization, managed and maintained by The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen Foundationand Board of Directors.
