A Goochland man was arrested last week and charged with attempted murder after shooting at his wife.

The Goochland Sheriff ’s Office received a 911 call early Tuesday morning, April 13 from a woman who reported that her husband had fired a

shot at her.

E dw a rd T hu r s to n Bonham, 60, surrendered without resistance when deputies arrived at the home in the 5000 block of Three Chopt Road shortly after 1 a.m.

Goochland Sheriff ’s Office spokesman Chad Hatton said after a lengthy verbal argument between Bonham and his wife escalated, he picked up his wife’s 9 mm pistol and fired one shot at her.

Planning continued from > page 1 descried the operation as more of a hobby than a business, but readily admitted the mess has gotten out of hand.

“I’ve been trying to move the cars,” Simms said. “I want to get rid of all of them and I know I’ve got to move them.”

A permit issued in 2005 required Simms to remove 20 vehicles a year, and he told the board he’s removed more than 75 cars in the last five years.

Planner Tom Coleman said staff inspections of the property revealed some serious violations of the current conditional-use permit requirements.

Batteries, barrels of removed fluids and ground water conditions are all concerns, Coleman said.

“I didn’t know the batteries were there,” Simms said. He also said he wasn’t aware that the barrels required removal, but is committed to cleaning up the site.

“I’d like to get rid of all of it in the next year of two, but that’s a whole lot of work,” Simms said. “I’m doing the best I can.”

Commissioner Ty Querry asked if there were state or federal programs available that might assist Simms in his efforts. “We may be asking him to do something that is impossible for one man to do,” he said.

Simms made a final plea for approval with a simply stated guarantee: “If you give me three more years, you won’t have to renew this license anymore.”

The panel decided to recommend approval of the permit, for three years instead of the five requested, with the requirement that all hazardous fluids, batteries and tires be removed in one year and one third of the remaining 136 vehicles be removed in each of the conditional-use permit’s approved years.

In other action, the board deferred a decision for a conditional-use permit requested by Bessie Fortune regarding a proposed childcare center located in Sandy Hook.

She plans to open a 20- to 30-child facility in an existing home on Sandy Hook Road, slightly outside the area designated for commercial development in the village.

Monti Brooking owns the adjacent property and expressed concerns that the childcare center could affect the real estate value of his property. He also cited an already hazardous traffic situation in the area, concerns over lighting and signage, and the site’s location outside the designated business zone.

Dennis Simms assured the Planning Commission he wouldn’t be back for another extension on his conditional-use permit.

Neighbor Geoff Jessee agreed. “We strongly oppose any business use of this property,” he said.

Querry pointed out that the request exemplifies a clear dilemma for the county. “We face the conundrum of trying to encourage commercial growth, but this is outside the Comprehensive Plan guidelines,” he said.

While not opposed to the plan, Commissioner James Crews said he needed more time and information to consider the permit. “There’s more homework that needs to be done,” Crews said.

Courtney Hyers agreed and motioned for a 30-day deferral. Her fellow commissioners unanimously agreed.

The county had planned to ask the Planning Commission to recommend approval of several cell tower conditional-use permit amendments that would eliminate a requirement that owners provide a cash bond to the county to cover any removal expenses should the tower be abandoned at some point in the future.

Director of Community Development Don Charles said that guarantee is no longer necessary, because the county would opt to maintain any abandoned

towers to maintain their emergency communications equipment.

In addition, the county has always required space at the top of the towers to place whip antennas to accommodate fire, rescue and sheriff communications. With emerging technology, whip antennas have become obsolete, and the county now needs additional space to place electronic equipment.

Charles said some localities are forced to rent space on the poles, but he hoped to avoid that by reaching an agreement with the companies. Basically, the county would relinquish its right to require a cash bond in favor of a lesser guarantee and the cell tower company, National Communications Towers, would provide the additional space on the tower free of charge.

However Charles said that an agreement was not finalized.

Not wanting to change the ordinance and ultimately remove the county’s bargaining chip, Charles asked the commission to defer the request, and they approved unanimously.

Hyers asked if Charles thought an agreement was imminent.

“Yes,” he replied.

Cisne takes over as school board chairman

Photo by Ken Odor

Maxwell G. Cisne of District 5 will be Goochland’s next school board chairman.

By Ken Odor jodor@goochlandgazette.com

Goochland School Board Chairman Raymond A. Miller, District 2, stepped down last week, making his announcement toward the end of the regularly scheduled April

school board meeting.

He nominated ViceChairperson Maxwell G. Cisne, District 5, to replace him.

Cisne was elected to the chair after a 4-0 vote. Board member Andrew A. Meng III of District 4 was not present at the meeting.

District 3 Member Ivan O. Mattox, Sr. was elected ViceChairperson. “In January we agreed that I would continue to serve as chair in order to see the budget process through – Mr. Cisne came up with that idea,� explained Miller. “We all agreed to it and the budget process is winding down and I believe it is an appropriate time for me to step down as chair,� said Miller. “Mr. Miller had gotten involved early on in the budget process last year and we wanted him to continue,� said Cisne the day after the meeting, explaining why he had suggested that Miller continue as chair. The school board’s normal practice has been to vote the Vice-Chair into the chairmanship post at the first yearly meeting.

Cisne said that he will step down as chairman at the first meeting in January 2011.

The school board still faces tough budget decisions, after the board of supervisors declined to raise property taxes and asked the school board to come up with another $317,000 in budget cuts.

Cisne, a retired CPA, is in his second term on the school

board. He previously served as school board chair in 2006.

During his career as a CPA Cisne said he audited the finances of a number of local school systems, including in Henrico and Hanover counties and the City of Richmond. “I’m not a neophyte when

it comes to looking at school systems’ finances,� he said.

At the same time he indicated that the board would continue its policy of looking to Goochland School Superintendent Linda see School board > page 4

NEWS: What’s Going on in Goochland County

April 22, 2010

A Prince Edward County man died yesterday afternoon in a private Goochland County farm pond after his canoe capsized, tossing him and another man into the water.

According to Sheriff James L. Agnew, Donte D. Woodson, 20, of Piney Grove Road in Rice, and his friend launched their canoe Sunday around 5:00 p.m. at the pond off of Rock Castle Road in south

While saying he does not agree with all the positions of the Goochland Education Pa r e n t s Association (GEPA), Cisne acknowledged GEPA’s con-

According to witnesses, Woodson and a friend began rocking the canoe until it capsized in 13 feet of water about 40 feet from shore.

Woodson attempted to swim to the shore but began to struggle in the water.

His companion tried to help him but he was unable to pull Woodson to shore and prevent him from going under the water.

Other friends at the pond attempted to locate Woodson, but they became fatigued and were unable to find him.

Coming up with the requested $317,000 in additional spending reductions will be difficult, said Cisne. “A small county school system doesn’t have a lot of places to extract money,�

Sheriff ’s deputies and Fire/Rescue units arrived within seven minutes of the call and requested the assistance of the Henrico County dive team which arrived at 6:00 p.m. and located Woodson’s body within an hour. He was pronounced dead at the scene at and his body was transported to the Medical Examiner’s Office in Richmond.

Neither man was wearing a flotation device.

The circumstances leading up to the accident are still under investigation

he said. “It’s pretty hard to squeeze out another $317,000,� he said.

At the meeting Underwood said that the additional budget cuts will need to be presented to the board of supervisors at their June meeting. “And so we are back to the budget process,� she said, promising to bring her recommendations for additional cuts to the school board at its May 11

meeting.

Underwood said some savings might come from reworking job descriptions in the wake of attrition, resignations and leaves of absence. She said examination of energy management might also lead to savings.

Other savings could come as a result of recommendations from a January audit of special education programs and an examination of transportation, said Underwood.

Several speakers offered input during two public comment periods.

GEPA chairperson Jo D. Hoskins spoke briefly, reiterating the organization’s position that reductions be made from the administration rather than from teaching positions. She provided board members with copies of GEPA’s petition, which advocates retaining all teaching positions.

Speaker Michael McDermott chided the board for, among other things, using single-sided printing for its agenda. “If we start watching the pennies the dollars will take care of themselves,� he said.

In other business, the board decided, on the suggestion of District 1 member James L. Haskell, to wait until its April 27 workshop meeting to vote on the adoption of next year’s school calendar.

continued from > page 1 day,” said Jocelyn Dailey, Extension Agent Unit Coordinator and head of 4-H Youth Development.

“The kids have learned a lot about agriculture and natural resources.”

Dailey said the program was correlated to the students’ SOLs. AgDay is the brainchild of Dailey and former 4-H intern Erin Henley.

Henley, the daughter of Phyllis Henley of Alvis Farms, is now a sophomore majoring in dairy science at Virginia Tech.

“A cow can give 200,000 glasses of milk in its lifetime,” Henley told one group of students, before getting them started in what was perhaps the most popular activity of the day, ice cream making.

After they heard about dairy farm operation, the students paired off and shook plastic bags filled with milk, sugar and vanilla flavoring inside another bag filled with ice and rock salt.

In a few minutes they had ice cream, which they devoured on the spot.

“That was their favorite,” said teacher Zarina Singh of her fourth grade students from Byrd Elementary School.

There are only a three dairy farms left in Goochland, said Henley.

“There used to be 10 or 12,” she said, but making money in the dairy farming business is hard.

Another hit with the kids was “Maggie Moo,” a dairy cow at Alvis Farms where 4-H member Brett Alvis explained the process of getting milk from the cow and to the store where people can buy it.

At another station, a Virg inia Coop er ative

Extension tent, Master Gardener Susan Davis gave the students the scoop on starting vegetable and ornamental plants from seed, then taught them about what a greenhouse does.

Taxider mist Fr ank Barham, a 4-H volunteer, captured the interest of the students with his display of preserved animals, letting them feel the texture of the fur on some of the examples.

At another station Lisa Dearden of The Center for Rural Culture let the students get the feel of soil amendments, like the peat moss needed to turn poor soil into productive soil

for gardening and farming.

Dearden also taught the children how earthworms enrich the soil.

Justin Barnes and Chuck Wright of the Virginal Forestry Department gave the students some insight into how their agency deals with forest fires.

“What causes the most forest fires?” asked Wright.

The students guessed lightning and campfires, but Wright said the greatest number comes from brush and trash burning that can get out of control on windy days.

“Kids get a kick out of the fire tool display,” said Barnes, who showed them

chainsaws along with other tools used by foresters.

Singh said the students also enjoyed Dearden’s organic gardening presentation.

“She’s awesome,” said Singh about Dearden.

AgDay is important as the number of farmers decline, said Henley.

“Most people are about three generations removed from the farm,” she said.

To find out more about 4-H programs or the Goochland County Vir g inia Cooperat ive Extension Service, contact Jocelyn Dailey at 804 5565873 or email her atjddailey@vt.edu

OPINION: Editorial, Letters to the Editor

Want more? Visit us on the web at

www.goochlandgazette.com

Serving the community Over the past few months The Gazette’s opinion page has been dominated by reflections on the county’s budget process.

Our editorials and your letters have raised many questions about the county’s use of its resources: Where does the money come from, where does it go, and why?

And many of you have shared your sense of whether those questions are being answered appropriately.

As the county has now passed its approved budget, and is waiting to see changes that will have to be made by the county and its schools to accomodate reduced revenues, we have reached a point in the process where we can pause to catch a quick breath before we start learning more about the countywide audit.

So, considering a few of the letters and phone calls I have received, I believe that using this respite to ask a fiscally unrelated question might be a good idea.

What is the role of a community newspaper?

Especially in a society where information is now hurled at readers via a printed page, a flickering television screen and a scrolling blog, what can a local paper offer its readers?

Unlike news that comes to you from around the world and around the clock, The Gazette is based here in your county, where you live and work, where you raise your families and build your lives.

Reporter Ken Odor and I venture throughout the county, to its board meetings and court hearings, and its festivals and celebrations. And at those events you can walk up to either of us and tell us what you think about the county and how we cover it.

And many of you do exactly that! That is one of the greatest privileges of being a community journalist, at a weekly newspaper in a rural county: The ability to really get to know our readers.

That familiarity breeds respect, because it’s harder to let down someone you’ll run into the day after a board meeting, say, than it is some anonymous member of an audience you may never meet face-to-face.

I have recently received a lot of messages from people offering information and insight regarding our county, which I greatly appreciate and encourage.

One supervisor recently recommended that I print my e-mail information here in my editorial, and to that I will also add a few other ways to get in touch with me: By e-mail at acondra@goochlandgazette.com; by Twitter atGazetteEditor; and on our Facebook Fan Page, at www.facebook.com/goochlandgazette.

Hearing from our readers ensures access, accountability and balanced coverage, which is how The Gazette can best serve the people of Goochland.

Local doctor responds to allegations Seven years ago I established my family practice in Goochland to serve the wonderful people of this community. Many of you became my patients but most importantly, many of you became my friends. You welcomed my family and helped us get established. Unfortunately, as recently published in this

newspaper, I have disappointed many of you. Please let me explain.

I have been a physician for fifteen years and helped thousands of patients in a variety of office and hospital settings. Until recent events, my license to practice medicine has never been disciplined or punished in any way. But on April 30, I have a hearing at the Virginia Board of Medicine to answer allegations

that I was romantically involved with a woman who was, but no longer is, a patient. I tell you, as I have told the board, that this is true. I had known the woman for ten years before we started a relationship.

Sadly, my own marriage, as my wife would confirm, has been under duress for the last five years. We both recognized see Letters > page 7

OPINION: Letters to the Editor

April 22, 2010

Letters continued from > page 7

Lions Club thanks the community Thank you to all of the members of our community that helped support the Goochland County Lions Club’s annual White Cane Day collection this past weekend.

Money collected is used for sight related activities that benefit many of our county residents. We

also collect used eyeglass throughout the year. These glasses are sent to our Lions Eyeglass Recycling Center in Roanoke, where they are cleaned and sorted for free distribution throughout the world to be used by many that don’t have an opportunity or means to purchase glasses.

Contact us if you need a drop location for used glasses (http://e-clubhouse.org/sites/goochlandva/).

We would also like to

thank Dawson’s Pharmacy, Goochland Pharmacy and the Goochland Food Lion for allowing us to conduct our White Cane activities at their locations.

Does The Gazette forbid dissent?

I was disappointed to

read the headline (“Is Cuccinelli a Bigot?”) attached to Herb Griffith’s April 8 letter-to-the-editor responding to the April 1 editorial cartoon depicting Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli as unfriendly to homosexuals.

Griffith did not question whether Cuccinelli is a bigot; instead, his primary point was that The Gazette erred in portraying Cuccinelli as such.

Griffith then explained that the attorney gener-

al simply was doing his job as legal counsel to state agencies by informing Virginia’s public colleges and universities that their declaring sexual orientation as a protected class against discrimination exceeds their lawful authority.

Why did The Gazette’s editor select this particular headline for Griffith’s letter? A headline should summarize a letter’s main point. It would have been difficult for the editor to choose another headline that further contradicted Griffith’s intent. A better headline could have been used such as, “Gazette Cartoon Questioned,” or “Cartoon Misrepresents Cuccinelli.”

A quick, uninformed reading of the April 8 headline certainly reinforces the liberal media’s stereotype of Attorney General Cuccinelli. The liberal media portray Cuccinelli as a bigot because he informed his clients that Virginia law does not include sexual orientation as a non-discrimination category.

Why such a vitriolic response from the liberal media? Because they interpreted Cuccinelli’s action as placing an obstacle in the path of the gay rights agenda. The liberal media’s ideological commitment to the gay rights agenda forbids dissent, and they will use any dirty trick or dishonest tactic to destroy Cuccinelli or any other public figure who fails to toe their ideological line on this issue.

By publishing the biased cartoon and by misrepresenting Griffith’s letter with an inappropriate headline, The Gazette revealed it is more concerned with ideology and attacking Cuccinelli than with providing honest news coverage.

Goochland County citizens deserve better from our community newspaper. I hope the editor exercises greater care, objectivity and balance in the future to prevent journalistic bias.

Goochland County’s rest stops reopened

By Ken Odor jodor@goochlandgazette.com

Two rest stops on Interstate 64 in Goochland County are open once again. The east rest area located at mile marker 169 and the west rest area at mile marker 168 have been closed since last July.

Former Gov. Tim Kaine closed the two stops on I-64 in Goochland, as well as 17 others across the state, in an austerity move last year.

When the decision was made to shutter the 19 rest areas VDOT said the closures would annually save about $740,000.

But Governor Bob McDonnell announced soon after his inauguration that all the closed stops would be reopened.

Truck driver Dave Hall is glad of it.

He pulled his rig into the eastbound rest stop last Thursday afternoon for a quick break on his way into Richmond.

“Closing rest stops puts us in a bind,” said

Hall. “You can’t just stop a truck anywhere.” work crews for maintenance, landscaping and ideas mentioned by the governor had not yet Hall said he travels I-64 three times a week repair of existing rest areas were also dis- been put into place.

Hall was disappointed when the two Goochland rest stops closed last year, since it forced him to stop as far away as Zion Crossroads.

Goochland’s rest stops were among the last to be reopened due to the necessity of working on the wastewater system there, said Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) spokesperson Jeffrey Caldwell when the reopening plans were announced in January.

At that time, plans called for using $3 million from a maintenance reserve fund to operate the facilities through the remainder of this fiscal year, which ends June 30.

Rest stops continued from > page 11 Inc., which operated the two Goochland rest areas before they were closed, is maintaining them once again.

DTH Contract Services, Inc., which operated the two Goochland rest areas before they were closed, is maintaining them once again as a subcontractor for ICA, Infrastructure Corporation of America, said Caldwell. About

20 employees have been hired to staff the two rest areas.

Gov. Kaine’s decision to close the rest stops last year affected not only travelers but also local businesses, which had to deal with drivers turning off at the two Goochland exits looking for alternatives to the rest stops.

Although some gas stations and convenience stores gained business, the closings were a mixed blessing as travelers overloaded the sanitary facilities at some

business locations.

Hall said more rather than fewer rest stops are needed nationwide. Hall is a member of a Tennessee trucking association, which is working to encourage the creation of more rest areas for safety reasons.

Hall wasn’t the only happy traveler at the reopened rest area last week; Adrian Phillingame was also pleased.

Phillingame works for DTH. She was laid off when the barriers went up.

Now she has returned to work at the east bound rest area. Many of her coworkers laid off last July are also back on the job. And she says travelers are also glad to have the rest stops up and running.

“We’ve had a whole lot of people come in and say they are glad we’re open again,” said Phillingame.

Strong midfield play nets soccer victory for Lady Bulldogs Dulong, Panas and Stratton score Goochland goals

BY JIM RIDOLPHI sports@goochlandgazette.com

The Goochland girls soccer team finally got the Jefferson District results they were looking for, notching a 3-1 win over rival Louisa. The Bulldogs took advantage of some aggressive midfield play and a trio of well-placed goals to defeat the Lions.

Louisa opened strong and scored a quick goal by forward Imani Callen, giving the visitors a 1-0 edge early in the contest.

It took Goochland the rest of the first half to move play to the Lions end. After several shots on goals that didn’t elude Lion goalie Mary Wittenburg, Tesia Zogran fired one from the right side that found the left corner of the net, knotting the score at one each when the teams broke for halftime.

“Panas and I had an amazing couple of cross and gos, and then, I just had the shot and took it and

it went in the left corner,” Zogran said following the game.

Louisa opened the second half with another barrage on goalkeeper Deidrea Stratton (10 saves), but she fended off all comers, and Goochland eventually worked play to the Lions end of the field.

“We’ve done that a couple of times this year. We get ahead and should be able to win, but just can’t keep the intensity up for the entire game. We lose our focus.

It’s frustrating,” said Louisa coach Molly Davis.

With 13 minutes remaining, Megan DuLong scored on a strong kick from center goal and gave the Bulldogs a 2-1 edge.

Extended playing time in front of the Louisa goal finally took its toll, and Goochland’s Bridget Panas scored with less than three minutes remaining in the game, making the final 3-1.

Davis said allowing Goochland to have so many shots on goal and control the ball deep in Lions territory is a dangerous combination. “We’ve been work-

ing hard on getting those balls out of there,” she said.“Obviously, we’re still learning that you have be very aggressive in those situations,” Davis added.

She was also disappointed with the offensive output. “We just started playing sloppy out there and just kicking the ball around. When you play kickball, you’re not going to find the back of the net.”

Goochland coach Tom Reid said he was pleased with the results, but said the overall performance still needs work.

“I thought we got some excellent play from our midfielders today. They were aggressive and controlled the pace for us,” Reid said.

DuLong, Annelle Cleveland, Heather Dewar and Panas made up that veteran midfield line.

“I thought the team executed well tonight, and played a good game overall,” Reid said. “When we got behind in earlier games, they couldn’t come back, but tonight they

responded well and made some good adjustments. It worked for us tonight and that’s what counts,” Reid said.

Zogran said although the performance wasn’t textbook, the team can take a wealth of information away from this game. “It was a good game for us. We had to work hard to get the win. We were a little off to begin the game but got better and played harder, so we learned a lot from this game.”

Davis said her team has the talent to record wins, but they are “a work in progress.”

“We’ve got to learn to use each others’ talents and play as a team. We have a tremendous amount of individual talent, but aren’t utilizing it on the field. We’re still learning.”

Benedictine takes rivalry game over Collegiate 11-0 Third inning seals Cougar’s fate

BY JIM RIDOLPHI sports@goochlandgazette.com

Cloudy skies and cool temperatures couldn’t dampen the Benedictine bats last week as the Cadets recorded an 11-0 victory over visiting rival Collegiate.

“This is always a big game for us and the kids look forward to it,” Cadet coach Sean Ryan said following the win. “Collegiate is back after a couple of lean years and they are in the hunt for the playoffs, so it was a big win for us.”

Cougar coach Andrew Slater agreed with Ryan’s assessment of the game, but said his team never got out of the blocks. “I’m sorry we didn’t come over here and play better,” he said. “We didn’t do any of the things we need to in order to win. I thought we would play better because we came in on a five-game winning streak.”

Benedictine junior pitcher Andrew Woods threw four innings of one-hit baseball in the victory and Ryan said he’s quickly claiming a spot at the top of the pitching hill.

“He’s assumed the role of being our number one

pitcher and I think he will eventually be a Division I player. He’s our ace.”

The Cadets got on the scoreboard in the bottom of the second inning when David Geary and Andrew Woods scored on a Zach Matthews sacrifice fly, for a 2-0 advantage.

After the Cougars failed to register a hit in the third inning, the Cadets exploded in a nine-run, four-hit bottom half of the inning that sealed the Collegiates’ fate.

The inning started with two hit batsmen and progressed with three Cougar errors.

“It was just one of those

innings for them where everything went wrong and we ran the bases well,” Ryan said. “Things like that just start to snowball and we’ve been on the other end of that situation at Lee-Davis.”

Slater was puzzled by his team’s performance coming off the win streak, upping the Cougars’ record to 5-3 entering the game. “We’ve pitched and defended well in recent games and had quality at-bats and really improved on moving the baseball and scoring runners,” he said.

However, the coach said he felt his team should learn a valuable lesson from the

defeat. “Any time you give a good team like Benedictine a bunch of freebies, this is what happens,” he said.

“When you give them five outs with errors, walk too many guys and hit too many guys, this is going to be the result.”

Benedictine was state runner-up last season and has been a consistent contender for the past several seasons. On the other hand, Ryan said he thinks this edition of the Cougars also is resuming a familiar place in the district race.

“They’re getting closer to being where they were,” Ryan said. “They’ve had a

couple of down years, but they have three really good pitchers that should do well as they play the prep league schedule.”

David Geary and Zach Matthews had two RBIs each in the victory for the Cadets and Woods recorded seven strikeouts in four innings pitched.

Meeting will examine ‘Reinvest’ program Contributed Report The next town meeting of Henrico County Board of Supervisors Chairman and Tuckahoe District Supervisor Patricia S. O’Bannon will provide information about “Reinvest,” Henrico’s new residential tax-abatement program. The meeting is scheduled for 7 p.m. Wednesday, April 28 at Tuckahoe Area Library, 1901 Starling Drive.

Reinvest (Residential Investment Tax Abatement) is a partial tax-exemption program designed to encourage improvements and rehabilitation of qualifying

homes - those 40 years and older with an assessed value of $200,000 or less.

Eligible homes are not taxed for seven years on renovations, additions and similar projects meeting program criteria.

Henrico’s real estate division manager Tom Little will be on hand to explain the program and will join O’Bannon for a question-and-answer period as well.

Tuckahoe town meetings are open to the public. For more information, call 501-4208 or log on to www.patobannon.com.

Death of a Vampire at Gayton Library

By Ken Odor

Media General Staff Writer It was a dark and stormy night.

No, actually – it was a pleasant spring evening.

But at the Gayton Library, members of the Teen Advisory Board under the direction of Teen Librarian Mary Menk transported the audience to Transylvania, where it seems an aging horror film star Jack Ular (you have to say it out loud) has been murdered.

With names like Dinah Gruesomeway, Vlad Tire and

Jaqueline Hyde (again, you have to say them out loud), 14 prime suspects examine the evidence and ask each other questions until the murderer is revealed.

It’s the fourth year Gayton Library has presented its Murder Mystery, said Menk.

“It’s sort of a community service,” said Menk, who said the Teen Advisory Board was started in 2005.

The board advises the library on books and programs that teens might benefit from, said Menk.

After about an hour of over the

top dialogue filled with puns and humor too obvious to miss, it turns out that Vlad Tire is the guilty party.

Just one line gives you an idea of the subtlety of the jokes.

At one point Vlad says he suffers from hay fever.

That’s why they sometimes call me ‘Vlad the Inhaler,’” he explained.

His motive? Vengeance.

An ancestor of Jack Ular had murdered one of Vlad’s ancestors. continued on page 3

Henrico County Division of Police is joining DRIVE SMART Virginia, the Virginia Highway Safety Office and the Virginia State Police in recognizing April 28th as Distracted Driving Awareness Day in Virginia.

Distracted driving is a growing problem throughout the country and is recognized as a major cause in many roadway crashes.

Driving while distracted may be described as any activity that takes

one’s eyes and/or mind off of the task of driving. Common distractions behind the wheel include eating or drinking, personal grooming, cell phone use and reading.

Since cell phone use while driving occurs most frequently, it is one of themost dangerous behaviors.

While it is not illegal to talk on a cell phone while operating a motor vehicle, it is against the law to text while driving.

Vampire continued from front page 1

But since it turns out that Jack Ular was already a member of the Undead, no charges are filed and Vlad (played by Mason Chakales) is a free man!

At the end all members of the group who guessed who did it won prizes, including books and candy bars!

Some of the group got into their roles.

Moody Middle School eighth-graders Camille Karabaich and Molly Strauss dressed for their parts.

Karabaich played Celia Fate, newspaper reporter and Strauss had the part of Dinah Gruesomeway, a horror story writer and jilted lover of Jack Ular. โ We take any occasion to dress up,โ explained Karabaich, who wore thick glasses.

Strauss looked her part in an all black outfit.

Strauss said she plans to take drama when she goes to Godwin next year.
