County government audit reveals longterm mismanagement By Amy Condra editor@goochlandgazette.com

Mismanagement has plagued Goochland County’s financial health for years, according to a fiscal 2009 audit released this week. Rob Churchman of KPMG, an auditing firm hired by the county over a year ago, presented a final audit report to the Board of Supervisors Tuesday. Churchman said the report reveals two weaknesses in the county’s financial reporting practices: Flaws in accounting practices, and a lack of checks and balances. In order to issue a clean audit report for 2009, said Churchman, the auditing firm had to restate fund balances and net assets that were reported in 2008. The most glaring errors involved assets and debts that were reported inaccurately or were omitted altogether. In the case of governmental activities, for example, a $3.5 million economic development agreement in 2001 had never been recorded. And $1.1 million in disposed capital assets, such as county-owned vehicles that were no longer operable, were recorded, while other county-owned assets were never recorded. Churchman said that some of the restatements spanned multiple prior years and affected various financial accounts, including problems related to governmental

Graduation continued from > 1 Goochland Chorus and the Goochland Band. Another highlight of the evening was a dance performance by Damion Carroll and Younteen Kenney. When it came her turn to speak, Salutatorian Beasley peppered her remarks with humor. “We’re the best high school within 20 miles,” she said, then noted that GHS is the ONLY high school within 20 miles.

After high school, graduates will need three things, said Beasley: money, a place to live and something to do with themselves. She offered advice on all three, saying fellow seniors would back up their peers in their decisions to a point, but added, “We will not bail you out of jail.” “Best of luck to all of you and don’t put too much pressure on yourself,” she said. Valedictorian Nathan Longest advised the seniors to follow their hearts in choosing their life’s work.

“The future is not something you walk into, it’s something you create,” said Longest. Despite the many challenges the class may face, war, recessions and oil spills, Longest said he was confident his class could handle them, as long as they remember to rely on a sense of humor to get them through. In that spirit, he closed his remarks with some sage but humorous advice. “Don’t say anything bad about anyone before walking a mile in their shoes,” he advised. “Because then you’ll be a mile away from

them and you’ll have their shoes.” And so the evening drew to a close, as the 198 seniors crossed the dais to receive their diplomas before tossing their mortarboards into the air and leaving the field to greet family and friends. “It was pretty awesome, I must say,” said graduate Laura Meadows, as she hugged friends after the graduation and talked about beach week and college in the fall. “I even threw my hat in the air.”

Hadensville Fire Chief completes executive program Ken Odor jodor@goochlandgazette.com

He’s a Battalion Fire Chief when he’s on the job. He’s a volunteer District Chief when he’s off the job. Which means James M. Cullinan III doesn’t get a lot of time off, period. In his day job for Spotsylvania County he supervises three fire stations. He’s also District Chief at Hadensville’s Company 6. Recently Cullinan, 34, completed the four-part Executive Fire Officer Program taught by FEMA at its National Fire Academy at Emmitsburg, Md. “It’s a two-week resident class each year for four successive years,’ said Cullinan last week. Four sections comprise the

course: Executive Development, Leading Community Risk Reduction, Executive Analysis of Fire Service Operations in Emergency Management and Executive Leadership. Each of the four courses requires a written Applied Research Project to demonstrate application of course theory. Cullinan chose to write about the challenges that arise in combination departments like Goochland, which have both professional and volunteer members. After all, that’s how he got his start in the firefighting business. “I’ve been doing it since I was 16,” he said, referring to when he first started as a volunteer in Goochland. “They gave me my basic training.”

Cullinan went on to get an associates degree from J. Sargeant Reynolds in Fire Science and a B.S. in Fire Science from the University of Maryland. He’s married with two daughters. His wife Jennifer also volunteers at Company 6. “Volunteer recruitment is always a challenge,” said Cullinan, who said the time requirements for classes and training are heavy for volunteers who work fulltime jobs. Goochland professional firefighters and volunteers get on well together, said Cullinan, the key being inclusion and managing the department as a group, rather than dividing it up into professional and volunteer. “The goal is to have the equipment respond,” he said

Growing membership will be new Goochland County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Bonnie D. Creasy’s main goal, she said in an interview Monday. Creasy’s appointment by the board of directors was announced last week by Chairman Paul Miller. She replaces Doris Elderman, who resigned May 31 after more than five years service as Executive Director. Creasy, a former member of the Chamber’s Board of Directors, founded Classic Insurance Services in ManakinSabot in 2000. During the next 10 years she established a successful business with six employees, before selling the company earlier this year. Before launching Classic

Reynolds has two sons in Goochland Public Schools and said has been watching the debate over the school budget. With LEAD VIRGINIA Reynolds has already visited several Virginia communities, meeting with local government and business leaders. He recently visited Martinsville and said Staunton is next on the list.

Miller said Creasy was uniquely suited for the job. “She understands and appreciates the challenges faced by small businesses, and she has demonstrated a strong commitment to the mission and goals of the Chamber. We look forward to having her on the job,” said Miller. Creasy, acknowledging that she is in a “transition period,” said Elderman did yeoman work as Executive Director. “She took the chamber to another level, giving us a better presence in the county,” she said. Creasy also credited Elderman with strengthening the chamber’s relationship with the county administration. In addition to growing the “It’s a wonderful program,” said Reynolds. “It’s hard to believe how much I’ve gotten out of it already.” He’s hoping his participation will lead to new business opportunities for his company, said Reynolds. “It’s a wonderful way to find out about the state, to network and learn about economic development,” said Reynolds of the program.

Audit continued from > 1 activities, the school board, the economic development authority and the county’s utilities department and sanitary districts. County Administrator Rebecca T. Dickson said the county will be implementing new policies and procedures to improve its financial management. District 5 Supervisor James W. Eads said in an interview this week that he thinks the audit process has revealed and corrected past mistakes, creating a fresh start for the county as it moves forward. “This is a new beginning for Goochland County,” said Eads, “and I am excited about the steps being taken to bring professionalism to the management of Goochland.” The countywide audit was requested by supervisors after an investigation of the county’s utilities department revealed almost $200,000 in undeposited checks from fiscal years 2007 and 2008. The utilities director was ultimately fired, and former County Administrator Gregory K. Wolfrey resigned a few months later. A subsequent forensic audit found that unremitted payments, as well as past due invoices, had been an ongoing problem in the department. The ultimate cost of the 2009 countywide audit is still unclear, said John Wack, Deputy County Administrator for Financial Services, on Wednesday. He added that the county hasn’t yet received a final bill from KPMG for work performed through June 1.

Goochand’s former auditor The 2009 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 (RFCA) to compile its annual statements. “You’re not supposed to do work, and then audit your own work,” said District 3 Supervisor Ned S. Creasey, pointing out that RFCA was auditing reports and statements it had created. When asked if Robinson, Farmer, Cox Associates had any comment on errors discovered by KPMG, Managing Director Steven J. Jacobs told The Gazette, “I think anything we have to say was said in the letter we sent to the county.” That letter, dated April 1, says that RFC disagrees with conclusions drawn by KPMG, “and believe such fund balance adjustments reflect a change in reporting preference or account-

ing policy… rather than a correction of error.” RFCA was Goochland’s independent auditor since at least the early 1980s, says Assistant County Administrator John Wack, although the firm may have been involved with the county before that. RFCA provided a variety of services for the county, such as preparing annual financial statements, fiscal impact analyses for bond issuances and rate studies for the public utilities department. Wack says that county records indicate the firm

was paid a total of $755,064 between February 1988 and December 2009. According to meeting minutes of the county’s Board of Supervisors, from 2001 until 2009 supervisors consistently voted to approve multiple year contracts with RFC, which in turn submitted proposals that were far below those provided by competing firms. “You get what you pay for,” said District 4 Supervisor Malvern “Rudy” Butler. “People just rubberstamp things if they stay too long.”

Just another high school graduation? High school graduation ceremonies are something this writer is used to. As editor of the Mechanicsville Local for a number of years, I usually went to at least two each year. Before that I covered them in photos and print for both the Goochland Gazette and the Local whenever asked. But it’s been a year or two since my last graduation assignment, so I was curious about how Goochland’s ceremony would turn out last Friday evening. The answer to the question posed by the column headline, is, of course, that it’s never “just another high school graduation.” Each one is different, each one is unique and each one is a milestone in the life of the graduating seniors.

Today’s young folks enter a more complicated world than that of decades gone by, and the salutatorian and valedictorian talked about that fact. With war, recession and ecological disaster in the daily news, it was fitting that the ceremony seemed a little more serious than many I have attended in the past, yet one can have no doubt that these new graduates will adapt to their world, just as each previous class has adapted and found their places in life. Whether they head to college, join the work force or try a hitch in the armed forces, they will surely bring the energy of youth to bear on the challenges they face. We wish them every good fortune as they continue down life’s path.

End of one season, beginning of another With the recent approval of school and county budgets, a long and arduous process has come to a close, albeit temporarily. In these times of tight money, tension was particularly high in the budget process at the school board. When the board of supervisors declined to raise property taxes, the die was cast for some hefty and painful cuts both in county services and in school services. Teacher layoffs drew particularly close attention from the citizens, with strong opposition from a newly formed parents’ group. One gathers the impression that the heightened attention of the county’s citizens caused by these tough financial times

and the two board’s responses will not go away but will transform itself into (hopefully) a more consistent interest in county government and the school system. Indeed, a meeting was scheduled for last Tuesday evening for the formation of a Goochland branch of the Tea Party movement. We’ll see what comes of that but no one can doubt that there will be heightened interest in next year’s elections of members of both boards. Let’s hope qualified and motivated candidates with a variety of viewpoints on managing the county’s problems emerge to do political battle, providing voters with choices for each seat on each board when they go to the polls in November, 2011. - Ken Odor

You can’t make this stuff up! When involved citizens arrived at May 25th’s School Board Workshop Meeting, we were greeted by two members of “Goochland’s Finest,” both packing “heat.” When I asked the deputies, “Who requested this show of law enforcement?” at such a benign event, they replied that they were “assigned to

the meeting by their dispatcher at the request of the “administration.” The crowd swelled to such proportions, that the meeting had be moved from a small conference room, to a somewhat larger room, which still could not contain the crowd. One would think, given the enormous public outcry surrounding this year’s Goochland County Public Schools (GCPS) 2010-2011

budget, and the plethora of other larger meeting spaces at their disposal, the administration would have planned a better venue. Then again, given the administration’s continued malfeasant squandering of our public resources why am I not surprised at yet another example of their mismanagement?

would wonder why we have to pay an energy consultant for common sense energy saving solutions such as, â&#x20AC;&#x153;turn off computers overnight when not being used.â&#x20AC;? Furthermore, our high schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sound system works just fine when one â&#x20AC;&#x153;speaks into the microphone!â&#x20AC;? Wait, we expect common sense from the same board that schedules one of their most important meetings of the year in a broom closet! To put the icing on this

www.goochlandgazette.com meetingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cake, it was also announced, after classroom teachers were bid their budgetary adieu, that we have an over $100,000 windfall from Randolph Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent construction project. Now I know why law enforcement was present at this meeting. Given the criminal nature of the boardâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s behavior, they should have been arrested. However, if charged with representing the public, a jury would not have enough evidence

to convict! Attitudes shape ideas becoming behaviors delivering outcomes. Upon leaving the meeting, an attendee turned to me and said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You could not make this stuff up.â&#x20AC;? I nodded my agreement and wiped the lipstick off my cheek, remembering why Al Pacino asked the police negotiator for a kiss in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Dog Day Afternoon.â&#x20AC;? Michael M.

Charlottesville regional had strong local ties UVA vs VCU NCAA match-up a treat for Richmond fans BY JIM RIDOLPHI Special Correspondent

harlottesville, Va.– Last week’s opening game of the NCAA Baseball Regionals featured a match-up of in-state schools that provided just enough regional rivalry to make the mismatched contest interesting. Top seeded University of Virginia entered the doubleelimination tournament with a 48-11 record. In their opener they faced a Virginia Commonwealth University team that played its way into the tourney with 35-24 record. While the game produced little drama as the Cavs coasted to a 15-4 win over the Rams, there was an ample amount of local flair for the capacity 4310 fans in attendance. Mechanicsville resident and VCU head coach Paul Keyes had the unenviable task of trying to quiet a group of UVA bats that had been on a tear since last week’s ACC Tournament win over Miami. In the end, the Cavs were too much for the visitors, and Keyes referred to another local connection as a key factor in the game.

Former Goochland standout John Hicks, above left, came into Virginia’s NCAA regional matchup against in-state rival VCU on an offensive a tear. In the game, Hicks continued his hot streak. going 4-for-5 with four RBI and a home run. The Cavs advance to Super Regional play this weekend, hosting the Oklahoma Sooners.

Former Midlothian pitcher Tyler Wilson came in the ball game and extinguished a potential fire as the Rams loaded the bases for the second consecutive inning. Keyes said he knew Wilson would be tough because he played with Wilson’s father more than a few years back. “He’s been like that his whole career,” Keyes said. “He came in today and threw some quality pitches.” Wilson acknowledged the Keyes connection when it was his turn at the mic for the post-

game press conference. “There is definitely some background there between my dad and Coach Keyes and sure it was great to play another Virginia school during regionals. “There is a lot of excitement no matter who we are playing,” Wilson added. “It is definitely nice to get that first victory out of the way and it’s a little bit sweeter to do it against VCU.” Wilson pitched three innings of flawless relief in an economical effort that left him ready as needed for future games. “I always want the ball,” he said. “It’s really a privilege to be handed the ball in a pressure situation, and everyone on our staff wants to be up there in a big situation like that.” Even with VCU’s losses and eventual elimination, Keyes is proud of the job he did with a young squad this year. After missing the CAA tournament for the past two seasons, the Rams made it to Wilmington and won three straight games to capture the title and advance to regional

play. “Our goal was to hang in there for the first half of the game and keep it close, but we made some mistakes and couldn’t get the hit when we needed it,” Keyes said following the loss to Virginia. Keyes, in his 14th year at VCU, said he’s optimistic about a team that over achieved and reestablished a strong VCU baseball tradition. He attributed the turnaround to several factors. “We had some tough recruiting years and a transitional coaching year but we have better players this year. The (Richmond) Braves leaving didn’t help us because we couldn’t tell recruits where we would be playing,” Keyes said. “We’re just getting better players and it’s really helped us since the Squirrels arrived in town.” The Rams made their seventh regional, but Keyes said this one had a special flavor. “We’ve been to plenty of regionals but being in-state and to get a week of publicity is nice,” he said.

But Keyes and Wilson weren’t the only area connection. Cavaliers’first baseman John Hicks arrived in Charlottesville by way of Goochland High School. The sophomore, who is the younger brother of Randolph-Macon pitcher Kyle Hicks, is currently on an end of season tear that began with a walk off homer against UNC last month. Hicks went 4-for-5 against the Rams with four RBIs and a homerun. “After we got through the order the first time, we got used to (Cutler-Volz) and started seeing his pitches down a little bit more,” Hicks said. Regarding the four RBI performance, Hicks said the credit goes to his teammates. “They were setting me up, and I was getting some good pitches to hit and luckily, they fell for me,” he said. For Hicks, the Cavs are hitting an offensive stride at the

best possible time in the season. “Getting hot right away is definitely a good thing,” he said. “It seems like it kind of started against Miami last week when we got the bats rolling a little bit. We were going to have to put up some runs. Their pitching staff usually keeps the game pretty low scoring. All of the teams here have a good pitching staff so to get confidence like that is really good for all of the guys.” Rams starting pitcher Seth Cutler-Volz is a Henrico High School product, while Paul Nice and Brent Mikionis are Powhatan graduates. Pitchers Ryan Farrar (Atlee) is freshman on the Ram’s roster as well as Josh Alford (Trinity) and Blake Hauser (Manchester). Other area players on the UVA roster include former Trinity standout David Coleman, Will Roberts of Maggie Walker GS, as well as Reed Gragnani and Tyler Biddix of Mills E. Godwin.

Glen Dandridge just wants to play basketball BY DAVE LAWRENCE Special Correspondent

len Dandridge wants to play basketball. Nothing, not even a devastating foot injury in his junior year at Missouri, kept the Goochland resident off the court. It’s a good thing, too, for Dandridge is now playing professional ball for the Rochester Razorsharks of the Premier Basketball League and – as has happened time and time before – getting recognized for it. In the final week of the Razorsharks’ 2009-10 regular season, Dandridge, was named the PBL’s player of the week after a 19-point performance against the Vermont Frost Heaves and 24 points in a victory against the Puerto Rico Capitanes. The wins clinched a No. 2 berth for

Glen Dandridge’s basketball journey began as a freshman at Goochland High School. Dandridge now gets paid to play the game he loves as part of the Premier Basketball League’s Rochester Razorsharks.

the Razorsharks in the league playoffs. Despite the fact that the Razorsharks lost a best-ofthree championship series against Lawton-Fort Sill, Dandridge, a shooting guard and small forward, had a good year. How could he not? It’s his profession. “I’m just happy to be getting paid to play basketball,” Dandridge said. “Play pro basketball

and get paid for it – doing something that you love and just having fun and getting a check for it.” Big things were expected of Dandridge early on. He played his freshman year at Goochland High School before transferring to Mount Zion Christian Academy in Durham, N.C. One of the reasons he transferred was for the opportunity to travel. “Just being able to go to Vegas, California, all different places in

high school and being away from home is a good experience,” Dandridge said, then explained why. “Just being able to mature more. I mean, being away from home as a teenager, with no parents around, I matured very quickly.” In 2004, Dandridge’s senior year, Mount Zion finished second in the nation to perennial prep powerhouse Oak Hill. Dandridge himself was ranked among the top 100 high school recruits in the nation. Dandridge played three years at Missouri before a foot injury sidelined him for most of his junior year. He had played too many games to redshirt that year, and not happy with his prospects, decided to finish off

his college career at Lambuth University in Jackson, Tenn. “If I could have red-shirted, I could have repeated my junior year of on-court play and had my junior year and senior year to play,” Dandridge said. “But by the time I tried to red-shirt, I had already played too many games my junior year. … I didn’t want to sit out a year. If I would have transferred to another school – another D-I school – I would have had to sit out a year and then play my senior year after.” By transferring to Lambuth, a Division II school, he was eligible to play without skipping another year. The competition was good, as was his year. Lambuth reached the NAIA quarterfinals. Dandridge, who averaged 15 points and five rebounds that season, was named first-team NAIA AllAmerican. “I wasn’t sure what I was getting when we got him,” said Lambuth head coach Kevin Burton. “Once we had him for awhile, I realized we had a quality human being who was eager to please. His work ethic has been unmatched in my 15 years of coaching college basketball – 10 years as head coach. His individual work when nobody was around was very impressive. He is the only player I’ve had to ask to leave the gym. I was afraid he was overworking his body.” Dandridge’s professional career began with a workout in Washington, D.C. “In the beginning, it was just warm-ups, just ball-handling, shooting, layups, just showing your athleticism, showing that you can shoot, showing that you can play,” Dandridge said. “In the middle of it we played five-on-five games, about four games. In the end we came together and talked to each team. If they were interested in you, they’d come and talk

to you.” In fact, someone talked to his agent, Pedro Power with Merle Scott United Sports. Within days, Power told him he’d been offered a contract with the PBL’s Halifax Rainmen, one of a handful of Canadian teams in the league. “It felt great. It’s an opportunity to play pro basketball,” Dandridge said of the contract offer. “Plus it was in a place that I had never been – that was another great opportunity.” One thing Dandridge learned shortly after his arrival in Nova Scotia is that it can get cold up there. Still, he didn’t let the temperatures and rain dampen his enthusiasm. “Before I went there, I worked extra hard so I’d be prepared,” Dandridge said. “The guys were older, but it was still basketball, and when you’re on the court, it doesn’t matter

because you’re going to play.” This year, Dandridge joined the Razorsharks as a replacement for Sammie Monroe. “Glen has been nothing short of a positive influence on our team,” said Rochester head coach Rod Baker. “He was a scorer and rebounder which we sometimes took for granted. He has great team ‘smarts’ and took well to our style of play. We lost a great player and Glen was able to step right in. We never missed a beat.” Dandridge, while making plans for life after basketball, isn’t planning to give it up any time soon. “I’m just basically playing,” Dandridge said. “Whenever I’m on the court, it’s just fun for me. I try to have fun, whatever is going on in the crowd, in the stands, I just kind of tune it out and play basketball. That’s kind of my get-away zone.”

The Goochland Middle School softball team, coached by Laura Hatcher and Stephanie Mask, recorded its first undefeated season in ten years. They were led by a fierce offense, outscoring their opponents 81-to-15. Kiersten McCray, Caitlynn Dove, Carly Plummer, and Deanna Martin all recorded home runs throughout the season. The defense, led by pitcher Jackie Tremain, was just as fierce, recording three shut-outs and two no-hitters. Submitted by Dena Tremain
