Linsey Korblau got the flying bug on a “Discovery Flight” three years ago at Chesterfield Airport. “I got hooked,” she said, in an interview at Hanover Airport, where she was meeting her instructor James Benwell for a flying lesson. Korblau got her private pilot’s license in February 2010. She is now working on becoming instrument-rated, which would be an endorsement of her ability to fly using instruments without a visual reference to the ground. On August 4, Korblau and Benwell will take to the air in a four-seat Cessna 182 Skylane single-engine craft on a trip to the West Coast and back.

T H E

It’s a way to fulfill two goals: Flying across the country and raising money for the Massey Cancer Center. Kornblau has already collected $64,000 in pledges from fans of her “Flight for Massey.” Her goal is to raise a cool $100,000. Donors are invited to a launch part at Hanover Airport to cheer Kornblau on when she and Benwell take off. Their itinerary on the way to the left coast will take the fliers to Atlanta, New Orleans, Austin, Albuquerque and Phoenix. Then they will land in Los Angeles. The entire route will cover about 4,400 miles. They will travel at an altitude of 8,000 to 9,000 feet during the trip, said Benwell. The plane can do 160 mph with a range of more than 900 miles between stops to refuel. Along the way Kornblau will blog about her experisee Pilot> page 3

The fire, above, occured in the 1400 block of Manakin Road. “The barn was a total loss,” said Goochland County Fire Chief William MacKay, adding that an estimated damage cost isn’t yet available.

Manakin barn fire under investigation By Amy Condra acondra@goochlandgazette.com

Firefighters were called to a barn fire in Manakin just after 10 a.m. Friday, says Goochland County Fire Chief William MacKay. The fire occurred in the 1400 block of Manakin road and destroyed a 3,000 squarefoot barn. The fire chief said smoke was visible from Oilville, which is about six miles away from the fire scene. MacKay said that about 12 firefighting units, and multiple tankers from Goochland and Hanover Counties, were called in to help fight the blaze. “The barn was a total loss,” said MacKay, adding that an estimated damage cost isn’t yet available. Firefighters were able to contain the fire and no other buildings were affected. Sergeant T. J. Molnar of the

Fire Chief MacKay says smoke from the blaze, above, was visible from Oilville, which is about six miles away from the fire scene.

Virginia State Police, which was called to the scene by the Goochland Fire Department, said the fire started in the barn’s hay loft. Most firefighters had left the fire scene by 2:00 p.m. said MacKay, but as of 5:00 p.m. some workers were still there. Although one 911 call

reported that there were horses trapped within the barn, by the time firefighters arrived all animals had been evacuated from the building. The barn has been used as a boarding facility and authorities are currently working to determine the exact owners of the property and the horses it housed.

“Despite the extreme temperatures, we didn’t sustain any injuries,” said MacKay of the firefighters. Virginia State Police are still investigating the cause of the fire, but the fire chief doesn’t suspect foul play. “Nothing indicates anything but an accidental fire at this time,” said MacKay.

ences. She will arrive back at the Hanover Airport, where she keeps her plane, around August 10. On August 14, Kornblau’s supporters are invited to a party at The Place at Innsbrook at 6 p.m. Needless to say, Kornblau is excited. “It’s going to be awesome seeing all those places,” she said. “It’s a cool thing to do,” said Benwell. “Hopefully we’ll be able to fly over the Grand Canyon.” Benwell said he was just “tagging along” because Kornblau doesn’t have her instrument rating yet. With her current pilot’s license she is only cleared to fly in good weather, so any bad weather could ground her during the trip. Benwell will be in the co-pilot’s seat, “but she’ll do the flying,” he said. Kornblau, whose father also flies and who encouraged her to take it up, said her first flight in 2007 was what won her over. “As soon as you fly you lose all fear,” she said. Not that it appears she has much fear. She’s planning on skydiving when she turns 18, she said. She likes roller coasters too, by the way. After she graduates high school, Kornblau said she hopes to attend Embry Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach and eventually become a corporate pilot. “It’s what I want to do as my profession,” said the young pilot.

Dentist Peter Murchie will collect books during the month of August for Read Aloud Virginia. He will kick off his Children’s Book Drive at the Farmers Market Kids Day this Saturday.

Local dentist collects books for kids By Ken Odor jodor@goochlandgazette.com

Peter Murchie likes to read to his kids. He likes it so much, he has decided to collect books to encourage other parents to do the same. During the month of August Murchie will be collecting used children’s books at his office in Manakin-Sabot. The books will be distributed by Richmondbased nonprofit organization Read Aloud Virginia (RAV). RAV’s motto is, “When Adults Read, Children Succeed.” According to the organization’s website, their number one goal is “To increase the number of parents and care-givers who read aloud to children from birth to school

age at least 20 minutes a day or 2 hours a week.” Murchie is in agreement on the value of reading, something he says he has done all his life. Murchie said he first learned about RAV from Brennan Spoonhower of Silent Partner Media, who had worked with the group. “I thought hosting a book drive would be a good fit,” said Murchie, who said he reads aloud to his three children most nights before they go to bed. He is continuing a tradition started by his father, who read to his four sons when they were growing up. “We have fun and it is a great time to be together,” said Murchie of the

time spent reading to his children. He plans to kick off his book drive July 31 at the Goochland Farmers Market Kids Day. At 10:15 a.m. he will entertain children with a special Smiles for Life Stor y Time. Parents are encouraged to drop off their gently used children’s books at the Farmers Market on July 31st to kick-start the August book drive. During the Farmers Market Kids Day, children will have an opportunity to meet literary characters in costume as well as enjoy story time. Murchie said he will read “When Wishes Were Horses,” and “another book about coming to the dentist and taking care of

your teeth.” He said he would not be in costume, although he thought about coming dressed as a giant tooth. The public can drop off books at Kids Day at the Farmers Market on August 1. After that books can be left during the month of August at Murchie’s office at 1606 Hockett Road in Manakin-Sabot from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays. For more information about RAV, visit www. readaloudva.org. For more about the book drive visit Murchie’s website www.goochlanddentistry. org and click on “Special Events.”

Baseball continued from > page 1 focused their efforts on the upcoming trip south. It’s a “big deal” for the kids and community, according to Coach Greg Harlow, and the anticipation level is growing. “The kids are really excited to be heading to the Dixie league World Series; only 12 teams out of 1100 total all-star teams make it,” Harlow said last week. The team played six games on their way to the state championship, defeating Halifax in the final 10-0. Along the way, they posted wins over Grayson Co u n t y, D i nw i d d i e , Rustburg and Pulaski.

Harlow said the trip to Louisiana is a fitting reward for a group that has worked for every victory they obtained. “The trip to Louisiana is a dream come true for our team, this is a once in a lifetime experience for any kid,” he said. “This is the goal for every little league player, and to think a team from Goochland is going is pretty wild.” Families are already making plans for the long trek. “All of our families are excited about the trip but it also is a very expensive trip. We will be having fundraisers and accepting donations from anyone interested in helping the team,” Harlow said. For Harlow, and assis-

said. “They may not be the most talented, but when you play as a team, play every play like it is the last, and have a heart as big as a football, you will be ok in baseball- but more importantly, in life.”

and no one got alarmed. Our house didn’t even have AC until I was about 10 years old-- it just had a humongous fan with blades the size of the propeller on a WWII fighter plane. I’d stand in front of that fan and let it dry off the sweat. It felt just great. Of course back then it was okay to sweat. Folks slowed down when the temperature climbed and I remember seersucker suit-clad business men mopping their brows with handkerchiefs. For a treat we kids would duck into the local drugstore, or the movie theater, where there was refrigerated air. In the evening families sat outside in the twilight watching the fireflies and the kids play until it was cool enough to go inside. No one had to remind us to stay hydrated. When folks got thirsty, they drank something. Water, iced tea, lemonade. Today things are different. Indeed, articles have been written about how air conditioning turned the South from a lazy backwater region to a thriving growth area. It would never have happened without AC. I’m hoping I don’t awaken to that eerie silence again too soon. Although I am working on a Rube Goldberg plan B. I’ll just install ducting from the AC in our two cars into the house and run their engines all night. Do you think it will work?

Early last Saturday morning I awoke to an eerie and unnerving silence. I began to sweat. It took only a short while for the wife and I to realize that the unthinkable had happened – the power had gone out in our area on one of the hottest nights of the year! Emergency planning began, always a great thing to do after the emergency has begun. And that’s what it is these days when the power’s out and you’re in the midst of a record-setting heat wave. A trip in the darkness to the local convenience store to fill the gas tank and stock up on a few bags of ice and we figured we were good to go, assuming the power company did its part and restored power soon. The wife and I had things to do, so with air-conditioned cars we were okay – the only worry was the dogs. We dumped huge chunks of ice into the dogs’ water bowls and headed out, promising each other to check back in later in the day to make sure the critters were okay. If power was still out, plan B would have to be initiated. After we figured out what plan B was! In the end the fates were kind and the Dominion folks did their magic. I don’t think it ever got over 90 degrees in the house. But it got me to thinking how dependent we all are on technology these days.

Forum on school issues? Many homeowners have seen the value of their property plummet recently. There is no doubt that a quality public education system is a major determinant of property values, but what actually constitutes a good school system, and will property values recover without one? Last week Amy Condra, editor of The Gazette, suggested a forum for the people of Goochland County to raise issues and share a future vision for the place that we all call home. I would like to question how our community envisions the future of public education in this county? Many parents were attracted to Goochland County by the quality of our public schools, but there is now concern about their future direction. During the recent budget process, people expressed a desire to save educational programs and resources and maintain pupil-teacher ratios. However, ten percent of the teaching positions in our schools were eliminated for the coming school year (while only six non-teaching positions were lost), core educational programs were scrapped, and supplies and textbook budgets decimated. Alternative budget-cutting suggestions made to the school board and superintendent were disregarded, with no public discussion or financial explanation. You may ask, “Why should we care” if our schools can be organized in such a way that the majority of the children will pass their SOLs? But SOLs are a bare minimum, and, bare minimum standards will not equip Goochland students to compete for jobs in a global economy. Eliminating programs and levels of education to homogenize the school system might make it easier to administer, and might boost SOL results in the short term, but is it in the best long-term interests of the students? Do we need more two-way communication with the school board, and more transparency? Would this community be better served by elected or appointed parent school board members, or by staggered-term elections?

For the past year, and reportedly for the year before that, the current school board has approved every single proposal forwarded by the superintendent with a unanimous “aye” vote, which has led some to question whether the school board is merely “rubber-stamping” all of the superintendent’s decisions. This brings the role of the superintendent into sharp focus - Goochland County has had three during the past 10 years. A superintendent that views Goochland as a “stepping-stone” to a higher-paid position in a larger school district might be tempted to utilize the system to suit their own short-term career goals. Would Goochland County be best served by a superintendent who shares the vision of this community and is committed to remaining here to raise the quality of public education for the long-term? Food for thought! The Goochland Education Parents Association welcomes the idea of a county forum, and encourages discussion of all education issues at http://forums.goochlandparents.com/ Jane Christie Manakin Sabot

Caution with electronic signs I would like to thank the Planning Commission for deferring action at their last meeting related to electronic signs in Goochland County. Advertising signs and digital billboards are designed to distract; if they don’t grab driver’s attention, they failed. However, there are significant concerns that the brightness and movement associated with digital signage leads to substantially higher crash rates. In fact, the Federal Highway Administration will soon release their findings regarding the potential traffic safety risks of digital billboards. The digital billboard industry touts the flexibility see Letters > page 7

OPINION: Letters to the Editor

July 29, 2010

Letters continued from > page 6 of these signs, which can be changed quickly to announce Amber Alerts, local sports scores, and other public messages. The opposition, such as Scenic America, notes the aesthetic, environmental, and safety issues involved with digital signage. Based on current research, it appears that a wave a billboard permit lawsuits has hit the courts in recent years. Bill Brinton, an attorney with Scenic America, explained in a recent industry publication how this “billboard shakedown” typically works. A little-known company comes into a locality with a stack of sign permit applications, knowing that the locality sign code prohibits either the type or of location of signs it wishes to erect. Rather then lobby for ordinance changes or apply for variances, the company

waits for the applications to be denied, then files a lawsuit to invalidate the entire sign code. If the court tosses out the code, the company will ask the court to approve all of its applications, along with damages and attorney fees. To avoid litigation, the company will offer to settle the case if the locality approves only a fraction of the sign permits. To date, courts have repeatedly affirmed localities’ First Amendment right to ban billboards, and to limit their size, location, and placement. Knowing this, the sign company will not attack the constitutionality of the sign code, but rather other sections of the code. Thus far, the courts have, without exception, found in favor of the locality, including that a sign company cannot challenge sections of the sign code that are irrelevant to the denial of its permit application. Clearly, the Goochland County Planning Staff and

Planning Commissioners should periodically audit Goochland County’s sign codes to ensure they are current with evolving technology. In the meantime, Goochland County should exercise extreme caution and adopt moratoria on new digital signs until comprehensive study can be given to this issue because once these signs are erected, they are almost impossible to remove. Numerous localities around the country have taken this approach, including Los Angeles, El Paso, and St. Louis. In addition to John Lewis updating us that Virginia Beach voted down electronic signs, a number of other states and communities have also enacted outright bans on such signs: Maine; Vt.; Mont.; Pima County, Ariz.; Amarillo, Texas; Durham, N.C., Knoxville, Tenn.; and most recently, Denver, Colo.

Teenager gives golf tourney sizzle Amateur, junior titlist Steinhagen to play in Futures stop BY VIC DORR JR. Media General News Services

Teenage golfer Amanda Steinhagen has been hotter than the weather in recent weeks. Will she continue to sizzle when competing against the next generation of LPGA professionals? Steinhagen, an 18-year-old amateur from Oak Hill, has accepted an invitation to compete in next month’s $100,000 Greater Richmond Golf Classic at Richmond Country Club. Her presence adds a splash of regional interest to the Duramed Futures Tour’s annual visit to the 6,278-yard course on west Patterson Avenue. “She’s having an unbelievable summer and you’d have to say the sky’s the limit for her, absolutely,” said tournament director/RCC golf pro

Matthew Schulze. “I think she’s got all the potential in the world.” Graduate of Oakton High School, won the Virginia State Golf Association women’s amateur championship earlier this month. She defeated Lauren Greenlief, a rising junior at the University of Virginia, 2 and 1 in a stirring championship match at Glenmore Country Club in Keswick. Last week, she won the VSGA junior girls championship at Indian Creek Yacht and Country Club in Kilmarnock. She is the first golfer in 30 years to simultaneously hold both titles. Steinhagen, who will attend and play golf at Longwood University in the fall, recently stepped away from competition for more than a month. She returned refreshed and refocused at the VSGA women’s amateur. “I took time off to try to get back to the basics of the game,” she told reporters after

her victory over Greenlief. “I worked on simple things and tried not to make everything so complicated.” Steinhagen is familiar with RCC and the Duramed Tour. She earned an amateur slot in last year’s event by winning a 36-hole qualifying tournament. She went on to shoot rounds of 80 and 77. “She certainly has the length to play with [Duramed Tour regulars],” Schulze said. “So ability won’t be an issue. The only question is: How will she respond to the setting? Last year, I think she was a little bit overwhelmed. It’ll be interesting to see how she responds this year, now that she’s seen it once before. So many of the things that were unknowns last year shouldn’t bother her this time around.” This year’s area amateur representative was chosen by invitation instead of competition because of an NCAA rules interpretation that has discouraged participation by high

school- and college-age players. The Duramed Tour believes the NCAA rule requires an amateur qualifier to pay a $500 entry fee — the same as Tour regulars — or risk compromising her college eligibility. Said Schulze: “Apparently there’s a feeling that [a waived entry fee] could be misconstrued as a gift or an improper benefit” to a current or future college student-athlete. The Greater Richmond Golf Classic, presented by Eagle Construction, will pay the winner $14,000. The Duramed Tour’s top performers are rewarded at year’s end with LPGA playing privileges for the upcoming season.

After competing in last year’s Duramed Tour event at RCC, Amanda Steinhagen hopes the experience pays dividends in the Greater Richmond Golf Classic this August.

Wallace uncaps Miller Lite promotion

Photo by Charlie Leffler

Loveland Distributing President Mark Stepanian, left, and NASCAR driver/analyst Rusty Wallace discus the Miller Lite Richmond Race Experience Sweepstakes, a RIR promotion targeted at local race fans.

Contest at RIR will focus exclusively on local NASCAR fans BY CHARLIE LEFFLER cleffler@goochlandgazette.com

Last week, NASCAR driver Rusty Wallace returned to victory lane at Richmond International Raceway. However, this time around the man, who ranks as the third alltime winner at Richmond with six victories, was not there to celebrate a race victory. Instead the former driver of the Miller Lite #2 car cruised into victory lane behind the wheel of a new white Ford Mustang as part of a promotional partnership between RIR and Loveland Distributing- a local distributor of Miller Lite and MillerCoors. “It’s great to be back in vic-

tory lane,” Wallace said. “This is my seventh time tonight and I feel good about it. It’s really cool to see Miller back in Richmond. I won a lot of races here when Miller was the sponsor and it seems real appropriate that Miller’s back here.” Wallace, along with RIR President Doug Fritz and Mark Stepanian, president of Loveland Distributing, unveiled the Miller Lite Richmond Race Experience Sweepstakes. The contest is designed to award local NASCAR fans an ultimate experience for the September 11 “One Last Race To Make The Chase.” Ten grand-prize winners will receive six tickets to the race, six admissions to the Miller Lite Tailgate and six Miller Lite hospitality passes. Fritz feels that the track has

come up with the perfect partnership by joining with Miller Lite. “They’ve been involved with sports for a long, long time,” he said. “They’ve been involved in NASCAR for a long time. It’s just a great fit for them and a great fit for their products.” Stepanian agreed. “It didn’t make sense that our company, after being in business for 50 something years here in Richmond, and RIR with the biggest sporting event in the state of Virginia, didn’t have some kind of relationship. So with that, Doug and his team have been very accommodating in putting something together that we think is going to benefit race fans, our beer drinking customers and our retail partners. We think this partnership is going to be a longstanding win-win for all involved.”

Wallace, who currently serves as a NASCAR commentator, appeared genuinely pleased to be back at RIR. “I love Richmond’s race track,” he said. “You know when I first starting winning up here everything was sponsored by Miller. Then that arrangement went away for whatever reason and when I heard it was coming back, man I got pumped up about it. I won a lot of those 400s that Miller was sponsoring.” With making the promotional appearance in Richmond, Wallace hopes to continue building the sport of NASCAR, something he feels not all of the current drivers are doing. “I think the drivers need to have pressure put on them to do what they need to do to make this sport grow,” he said. “I told them when I retired. I stood right over there in that tent and told them; ‘Let me tell you something guys, it’s a privilege to drive one of these cars. It’s not like you’re doing anybody a favor. So if you get to this point, get to this level of NASCAR, you respect it and you work hard for it and you try to make it grow.’ “For the most part, most of them do it,” Wallace said. “There are some of them that are a little lazy, who just want to drive the car and go home, but other than that, most of them are doing a pretty good

job.” Wallace would not elaborate on which drivers he believes are not pulling their weight. It was also evident that there are at least a few regrets in the wake of Wallace’s retirement in 2005. “I miss driving that car so bad it’s stupid,” he said. “I don’t think there’s a race goes by where I watch something going on, when I yell, man I want to go down there and put my costume on and get back in that thing and go. There’s a lot of races I want to do that.” And though his son Steve now competes in NASCAR Wallace said it is difficult to

live vicariously through him. “I have a lot of fun watching him but it’s not as much fun as when I was driving because it’s a lot of pressure and a lot of frustration.” To enter the Miller Lite Richmond Race Experience Sweepstakes, fans 21 years of age, or older must follow the entry instructions, which can be found at select Miller Lite retail locations throughout the Richmond region. Participants must be from the Richmond area and will have two ways to enter, via the official entry instructions at the Miller Lite retail location, through text messaging or standard U.S. mail.

Congratulations GUSA Fury
