Dickson’s first year in office AYP report a mixed bag for Goochland’s top administrator local schools discusses her role in the county By Amy Condra acondra@goochlandgazette.com

It has been about a year since Rebecca T. Dickson left her position as Deputy County Administrator for Human Services of Chesterfield County and accepted the job of Goochland’s County Administrator. Dickson, who had also served as Chesterfield’s budget director, brought her fiscal acumen to Goochland at a time when it was sorely needed: The county was still reeling from an audit of the public utilities department that revealed mismanagement and $200,000 in undeposited checks. The county then witnessed the departures of its utilities director, county attorney and former county administrator; Goochland was suffering from a severe lack of leadership. Then the Board of Supervisors unanimously

appointed Dickson to take over the county’s top administrative role. Dickson’s approach to government is pragmatic: She regularly presents the board and the public with wellresearched solutions to proposed problems, and has elicited unanimous praise, even from supervisors and citizens who, on other matters, tend to disagree. Last week The Gazette met with Dickson to discuss her initial impressions of Goochland and her plans for the county’s future.

System fails to make newly defined adequate yearly progress By Ken Odor jodor@goochlandgazette.com

Do you feel that your first year in Goochland has been a success? The first year has been getting to know the lay of the land: The boards have been very supportive, the citizens are very engaged and thoughtful, and the staff is very dedicated and hard-working. I would see the year as a success if the people I work with – the board (Goochland County Board of Supervisors), citizens, staff—if, at the end of the year, they were believing that I was competent, straightforward, open to feedback and fair, I would view the year as a success.

In a year which saw a large drop in the number of school divisions in Virginia meeting federal No Child Left Behind targets, Goochland Schools also failed to make the grade, according to a report released last week by the Virginia Department of Education. Only 12 of the state’s 132 school divisions made adequate yearly progress, or AYP, in 2009-2010, versus 60 the year before. Goochland failed to meet the newly added graduation requirements. And the performance of students with disabilities failed to achieve AYP in the school division as a

The localities are more similar than they are different, in that the issues are very much the same. Probably the biggest difference would be the breadth of the issues that we get involved in here. And in a small locality, you really have to be a working member of the team and a working administrator, which suits my personality type. You have to roll up your sleeves and work with everyone. I think that’s really the biggest difference.

mined where appropriate growth should be, and that’s up to the board to determine. And we can consider, are our ordinances what we want them to be to reflect our end mission, do we have anything in conflict with them, are our zoning ordinances, our sign ordinances, our utilities where we ultimately think they should be? The board decides where they want the growth to go; we have a role as a local government and staff to provide that foundation.

During the economic planning session some supervisors and residents proposed having more mixed-use zoning in the Tuckahoe Creek Service District; do you think that would help What are the issues you believe to promote development in that affect both Chesterfield and part of the county? Well I think those are some people’s Goochland?

I think every locality struggles with revenues, budgets, capital needs, growth, services, what do we provide, what do we not provide-- all that’s very similar. The goal is to get some clear priorities so that county and staff knew where to go.

County administration and the Board of Supervisors met this summer for an economic planning session; do you think the county now has a clearer idea of where the county should be headed? I do, I feel like the planning session was successful in that I think the board came to consensus around five high priorities for the county: Well-managed, fiscally sound, excellent quality of life, safe and secure community, customer focused organization, and a strong and diverse economy. Our plan is to come back in September and talk with the board about more specific initiatives around each one of those priorities.

opinions about what needs to happen. That would be one of the decision points that the board would have to make. If they want growth to be in certain places and want to have mixed use development where we have higher density and lower density-- we might have retail, some commercial serviceoriented types of businesses-- if that’s the direction the board would like to go in, that’s something we would need to look at. Some people believe that the market would be there for that, I don’t know. I would say that all localities are having to evaluate their comprehensive plans over the next year and designate what’s called “urban development areas,” and we’re going to be kicking off that process in September. That will give us an opportunity to walk through that process, and to get some citizen input on that process.

Does the county have any plans to address those citizens who believe that they haven’t been able to fully engage with county supervisors, administrators and staff?

I would be very interested to hear In terms of economic development, what can the county do what citizens prefer, because no one while the economy is still slug- way of communication works best for everybody. Some people prefer we put gish? The economy obviously plays a large role in economic development. The market has to be there… but the locality can provide the backdrop for when the market is there.

www.goochlandgazette.com You have said in the past that there isn’t much money in the budget if anything were to go wrong with the infrastructure of the TCSD. Is the county building up funds to maintain that system? What we have is about a ten-year plan for rates in both the TCSD and the general county system. The purpose of that plan, and of looking ahead, is to build the budget to a level where the systems are self-sustaining. They are right now, but items such as replacement, repair and maintenance would be budgeted items that we would continue to build on. So as we recommend rates to the board, adding to a maintenance fund, adding to a replacement fund, that would be part of building the rate structure. And every year we’ll reevaluate that.

Where does the county stand in terms of debt, and its ability to borrow money? The county borrows most of its money through the Virginia Resources Authority. The VRA would need to give its approval for additional borrowings that the county makes. That said, we have a very good relationship with VRA, we’ve been communicating with them all year, we’ve made it very clear that we intend to pay our commitments and I think they are comfortable with the plans that we have. Our capital improvement plan doesn’t call for borrowing money next year so we have some time to continue to communicate with VRA, to be sure that they are comfortable with our plans going forward. When we need to borrow money for a capital improvement project, I would go and discuss it with the VRA; as long as we had demonstrated that we have a budget in place to pay for that, then they would be supportive.

What kinds of plans does the county have in place, to demonstrate to the VRA that it has its fiscal affairs in order?

year we’ll come back with a reaffirmation of what the rate should be going forward. So what we’re attempting to do is to get the rate to a point where we’re able to address our debt service obligations. If the economy gets better, if there are positive changes in that regard, then the rate model would be adjusted.

Our hope is to move that to a biannual budget. A budget with three years of projections, that’s my long-term goal; we need a budget that has things on the radar coming up. That’s kind of where we are right now with VRA; I’ve been very appreciative, they’ve spent There has been some a lot of time with us and have discussion in the county been very communicative with about moving to a county us over the past year.

The debt is paid through the ad valorem taxes-- there are some other revenues in there, but by and large it’s the ad valorem tax.

Only three of five Goochland County School Board members attended last week’s sparsely attended meeting. Members approved the school’s new gifted plan and discussed a deficit in the 2008-2009 Goochland High School Athletic Fund.

School board approves new gifted plan School-based gifted plan will replace center-based program; board notes shortfall in GHS athletic fund By Ken Odor jodor@goochlandgazette.com

Email Us At news@goochlandgazette.com

Goochland County School Board members approved a new gifted education plan at a sparsely attended meeting last week. Chairman Maxwell G. Cisne, District 5, and James L. Haskell, District 1, were not present. Approval of the gifted education came after months of controversy surrounding the administration’s decision to close the gifted center as a cost-cutting measure. Enrichment and Interim Elementary Instructional Specialist Connie Foreman made a brief presentation to the board, explaining that staff

titles had changed: Enrichment Resource Teachers were performing duties formerly done by the Gifted Resource Teachers. “It’s the same job, just a different title,” said Foreman. The new gifted plan requires that Enrichment Resource Teachers (ERT) either already have or will be working toward the gifted endorsement. All three ERTs have the endorsement, Foreman said later in the week. Of the 55 classroom teachers in the three elementary schools, four have the gifted endorsement and 20 more have started on the endorsement, said Foreman. The endorsement requires 12 semester hours of course work. The county is not required to submit another gifted plan until 2015, but Foreman said she would ideally like to update the plan on an annual basis. Superintendent Linda Underwood then spoke about another project, saying that help would likely be needed to assist in updating the schools comprehensive plan. “We need to have a facilitator to do this,” said the superintendent. “It is time

to step back and take a look at the big picture.” Underwood said she expected to receive some proposals from candidates for the facilitator role and would report back to the board on this in September. After receiving an audit report from KPMG, the board also discussed the continuing shortfall in the Goochland High School Athletic Fund. The fund ended the 2008-2009 year with a $15,000 deficit. Underwood said that a shortfall in the account was likely in the coming year also and that there were no funds in the budget to make up for the deficit. “This is a problem that will not go away,” said the superintendent. Ticket sales and sale of merchandise do not generate enough money to pay for officials and security at sporting events, said Underwood. After board members discussed whether funds from the athletic booster clubs might provide some help, Underwood said she would meet with Goochland High School and Goochland Middle School staff to explore solutions.

Middle School, which missed making AYP in 2009, made the grade this year, showing improvement in math achievement in all subgroups, from 87 to 93 percent. Black students’ scores rose from 75 to 84 percent. Notable gains in math were also made by students in the economically disadvantaged group, from 77 to 84 percent, and by students with disabilities, from 80 to 84 percent. Underwood credited the efforts of GMS principal Johnette Burdette for the improvement. “She sweated bullets,” said Underwood. On the negative side, third grade students’ English reading scores, when measured division-wide, fell from 91 to 82 percent for all students, with a drop in every single sub group. For example, students with disabilities scores fell from a 71 percent pass rate in 2008-2009 to a 43 percent pass rate in the latest report. But by the sixth grade, overall performance by students in English reading improved county-wide, from a 92 to a 97 percent pass rate.

Back to the grind This is the last week of freedom for Goochland’s school children. After these final hours of summer, when kids can roll out of bed unhurried into days unorchestrated by lines and rules, it is back to the ol’ grind. But is that grind as soul-crushing as our children might have us believe? I remember being a kid around this time of year, and complaining loudly to my parents, my friends, pretty much to anyone who would listen, that I couldn’t believe my vacation was over. “Where did all the time go??” I lamented, mourning the excitement I had felt a few months earlier, when I still had all those summer days stretching lazily ahead. Suddenly my bliss was shattered by newspaper inserts and television commercials that blared out a relentless reminder: Hey, it’s back-to-school time! But even as I rambled on about not needing the waste of time that was returning to Matthew C. Perry Elementary School, I was getting pretty excited about picking out a stack of notebooks, a new lunchbox and a backpack. Somewhere within me was an understanding that, although spending my days achieving nothing loftier than honing my roller skating, Monopoly and solitaire skills was a pretty seductive lifestyle, I was kind of missing the structure of academia. I do believe kids, and people in general, can learn anywhere, as long as they have an inquisitive mind. And to repeat something I often say at this time of year, at Loyola University in New Orleans, the Jesuits taught me that understanding our world is a quest, involving a search for truth, social justice and a belief in the importance of asking, “Yeah, but… why?” And over the past year the people who make their livings and their lives in Goochland have been asking questions, and have also been asking to gain a greater say in how those questions are answered. Last week I interviewed Goochland County Administrator, Rebecca Dickson. I mentioned that I have heard many citizens say they want to further engage with the county’s government and schools, but that they don’t always feel that they are being heard or

Letters to the Editor Questioning school expenses It is interesting to note that in 2009/10, our schools spent over $28,000 to provide phone service for 32 mobile phones, including 22 iPhones, provided free-of-charge to school personnel. This does not include the cost of the iPhones themselves. The $182,000 telecommunications expense in the 2009/10 budget, is the same amount budgeted for 2010/11 - the Superintendent and School Board could see no way to make any savings here. This expense is broken down as $135,000 in the Instruction category under “Improvement of instruction” and

$47,000 in the Technology category under “Classroom instruction”. Apparently there are no administrative telecommunications expenses, despite the fact that many central office personnel appear to have iPhones. On August 19, many parents will attend “Business Day” to pay the recently approved fees for their children to attend Goochland schools in 2010/11. For middle school students, in addition to the $20 instructional fee, there is an $8 exploratory/electives fee, a $5 science lab fee and a $15 gym uniform fee. Examples of see Letters > page 7

heeded. Dickson said that she hopes that people will let her know how the county can best address this issue. She raises a good point: Wanting a greater dialogue between the local government and the people it serves is a good goal for the citizenry, but it is not good in and of itself; there have to be some clear suggestions and strategies to make it happen. The past few months have been nice and slow in Goochland—board meetings were rather uneventful and there were no major conflicts or uprisings. But summer is now winding into fall, and just as I did as a kid, I find myself getting adrenalized at the prospect of a more focused agenda. That is coming up quickly, as several of the issues discussed by the Board of Supervisors at the economic planning session in July will be brought up again at the September 7 meeting, and the school board has said it will start soliciting input on a strategic plan of its own. And then it is only a brief time before election season revs things into a higher gear. Dickson also said last week that she hopes that the county moves forward in a more proactive, and less reactionary, fashion. Here is another quote that is well-suited for the back-to-school season: “I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is better to be free than a slave. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant,” said Henry Louis Mencken, a newsman and social critic who influenced many people, many years ago. Those ideals are not easy to achieve; it takes dedication and perseverance to stick to your ideals and take the hard way out. But Dickson raises a solid point: Idealism doesn’t have to be mean-spirited; sometimes it can be an exciting challenge, met with cooperation and a shared mission, that effects real change. And such an effort can be a lot more satisfying than one more afternoon spent aimlessly sipping lemonade and dealing out another round of solitaire.

Seeking responsibility

continued from > page 6 high school fees include, in addition to the $20 instructional fee, a $25 fee for high school juniors, a $10 class fee for seniors and a $10 Art/Technology fee. While the high school will offer more AP courses this year, the downside is that test fees are not included, and range from $43 - $86 per subject. For our three children, these fees total $343, plus the expense of all the required materials on their school supply lists, without which, they will be assigned zero grades by their teachers. Assuming 2,400 students, ever y $20 in school fees should generate $48,000 in revenue. School fees are a regressive form of taxation which is unavoidable, because all students study science, all students have electives and all students have to attend physical education classes. Parents of middle school children could purchase a T-shirt of any color, and a pair of shorts for $5, but are instead required to pay $15 to purchase the school’s kit. Teachers, textbooks, supplies and core education programs are apparently expendable items, and the parents of GCPS children can be nickeland-dimed for numerous school fees, but school personnel cannot manage without iPhones provided at the taxpayer’s expense. Go figure! Jane A. Christie Manakin Sabot

I read with interest the letter last week in The Gazette from Supervisor Jim Eads where he discussed his support of a new form of government for Goochland County. That would be a county manager instead of a county administrator. Mr. Eads has been one of the managers of this mess we as citizens are trying to cope with today. The auditors, Robinson, Farmer and Cox, who have been doing business with Goochland for at least

OPINION: Letters to the Editor twelve years, have given us “misinformation’’ (that must be a new term for sloppy auditing) for quite a while. The Tuckahoe Service District is desperately overwhelmed with repairs and debt, and the homeowners will have to assume financial burdens for this problem.

Look in the mirror Mr. Eads to find the reason Goochland has endured multiple problems. Most of the responsibility belongs to you Mr. Eads! This situation reminds me of the sinking of the Titanic… the only thing missing is the band.

Lack of victories did not keep team from being winners GYAA All-Stars return home with lifelong memories BY JIM RIDOLPHI Special Correspondent

Sometimes, victories are measured by more than just wins and losses. Although Goochland’s GYAA All-Stars didn’t win the Dixie League World Series, they returned to Goochland last week as winners. “It was a dream come true for a special dedicated group of kids from Goochland,” said head coach Greg Harlow. “The families had a great time in Gonzales as well as the players.” After winning the Virginia state championship, the team headed to Louisiana to compete in the Dixie League championship series. In their opener, Goochland let a tight game get away against Texas. The

team then dropped their second game to Mississippi which removed them from the double elimination tournament. But overall, the losses didn’t detract from an unbelievable experience for both the players and the families who supported them in making the trip south. “All of our parents were able to make the trip and the kids loved the ‘road trip deal’,” Harlow said. “We were able to do a lot of site seeing as a team, which was a great time for all. The team basically lived together for 4-5 days which they loved,” he added. The trip did yield the team some honors. “We won the Sportsmanship Award which shows our team handled ourselves well in two very close loses,” Harlow said. “The team should be proud of this award, because when participating in highly competitive sports you must learn how to lose and well as win.”

The GYAA All-Stars lost two close games during the Dixie League World Series in Gonzales, La but that did not keep them from returning to Goochland as winners.

John John King captured second place in the Home Run Derby, which was a memorable moment for him. “It was fun to compete against

the kids from the other states and to represent the Virginia team. It was an experience that I will never forget,” King said.

The team gathered support from Goochland as they progressed through three tournaments and Harlow said that enthusiasm wouldn’t be for-

gotten. “We definitely want to thank the community for the unbelievable support throughout all three tournaments,” Harlow said. “We were getting texts, emails and calls from so many people pulling for us it was unreal. We received great donation support from a lot of people and on the behalf of the team I want to thank everyone.” Harlow also had high praise for a group of kids who didn’t quit all season, and took their potential to the highest level. “This team is a great group who give 100 percent every time they take the field whether it be practice in Goochland or the Dixie World Series,” Harlow said. The team returned home winners and represented their community well. The coach summed it up best. “We did not win the World Series in Gonzales but these guys are still champions.”

Song needs playoff to claim second Duramed victory BY VIC DORR JR. Media General News Services

No longer is there any question: Jennifer Song has the heart of a champion. In more ways than one. Song, a 20-year-old from Ann Arbor, Mich., won the $100,000 Greater Richmond Golf Classic by sinking a 20-foot birdie putt on the second hole of a sudden-death playoff yesterday at Richmond Country Club. She captured her second victory of the Duramed Futures Tour season by defeating — barely — 17-year-old Jenny Shin of Torrance, Calif., in an exquisite daylong duel. Both players delivered rounds of 66 yesterday to finish the 54-hole tournament tied at 12under-par. Song did nearly as much giving as taking in the after-

her final putt that “it was as though I could see the line burned onto the putting surface. All you have to do then is hit it.” Song and Shin battled like a pair of world-class fencers. For each of Song’s thrusts, Shin produced a parry. On three occasions on the back nine, Song, playing in the group ahead of Shin, pulled ahead with a birdie. Shin answered on each occasion. Not until the playoff, which involved two additional tours of RCC’s Photos by Charlie Leffler demanding 409-yard 18th hole – did Shin run out of replies. In the final round of last week’s Greater Richmond Classic at Richmond Country Club, Jennifer Song, left, and Jenny Shin, right, Said Song, a former U.S. battled neck and neck through the closing holes of regulation to come away tied at -12.

Classic only needs a hometown hero to be truly classic Virginia golfers will make best event so far get even better BY CHARLIE LEFFLER cleffler@goochlandgazette.com

The Greater Richmond Golf Classic just keeps getting better. This year’s Duramed FUTURES tournament at Richmond Country Club brought the biggest crowds yet and without a question the best finish. A blow-for-blow stretch run produced a two-hole sudden death playoff between 20year-old Jennifer Song and 17year-old Jenny Shin that was in itself a classic, leaving the large gallery around the 18th hole cheering. Any question about the level of play among the Duramed players can be answered in the fact that the two LPGA members in the tournament, Reilley Rankin and Lisa Meldrum finished in ties for 9th and 33rd place. After months of a horrendous drought, the course was in beautiful shape. And though rain fell on two of the three tournament days, the weather

Song continued from >page 8 much.” The ebb and flow of the final round gave Shin two chances to win outright. Her last putt of regulation, a straightforward 12-footer, rolled around the right-hand rim before hopping out of the cup. Her 25-foot birdie try on the first playoff hole singed the left side of the cup. A moment before Song sank her birdie putt on the second playoff hole, Shin burned the right side of the hole with a 35-footer. “Every time I putted today, every single time, whether in

did not keep crowds away. So with exciting finishes brought about by a high level of play, a beautiful course and good weather, what does the Richmond Classic need to grow even further? To bring the event to the next level the tournament needs a hometown hero to root for. In a tournament that brings players from as far as away as Argentina, Thailand, New Zealand and Russia among others, six golfers from the state of Virginia began play on Friday. But only one made it past the cut. Suffolk’s Lauren Doughtie was the lone Virginia golfer on the course for the final round of play. On Friday, Doughtie was in the hunt shooting three under, but stumbles on Saturday moved her back to even par and dropped her back to the middle of the pack. “I played well the first day,” Doughtie said. “I shot three under but didn’t quite keep that going as good as I would have liked.” On Sunday Doughtie had an up and down round with four birdies and three bogies before a shot into the bunker the playoff or the regular 18, I expected it to make it,” Shin said. Her harvest included a 12foot birdie putt from the fringe at the par-5 9th hole and a 40-footer from the fringe at the par-3 15th. “I was so confident and felt so sure,” Shin said. Australian Stephanie Na shot 69 and finished alone in third place at 9 under. Jenny Gleason shot 68 and climbed into fourth place at 8 under. Reilley Rankin, who either owned or shared the lead following each of the first two rounds, shot 72 and finished in a tie for eighth. Vic Dorr Jr. is a staff writer for the Richmond Times Dispatch.

on 17. “I made a double on 17 which kind of leaves a sour taste in your mouth, other than that it was pretty solid,” she said. Such was not he case for her fellow Virginia golfers. Sara Hurwitch of Potomac Falls withdrew early in the contest. Amateur Amanda Steinhagen from Oak Hill was done in by a disastrous +10 opening round, which could not be salvaged by the 75 she shot on Saturday. Norfolk’s Kristen Simpson and Richmond’s Jill Briles-Hinton were consistent but did not turn in low enough scores to reach the cut while Jenny Suh of Fairfax missed out on Sunday play by two strokes. After a year and half on the Duramed tour, Doughtie said she has seen the difference a hometown crowd makes. “It feels good to be able to play all three days here in Virginia, pretty much at home,” she said. “I’m glad I was here to represent. It was nice. It feels really

good when it feels like the home tournament for us.” Doughtie pointed out that the professionals recognize that Richmond already draws some of the best galleries on the tour. “The crowd out here, there’s so many spectators come out here in Richmond it’s great for us we really enjoy it,” she said. “We don’t always get it everywhere we go. Usually we have a decent crowd but this is probably one of the biggest crowds we get. It feels great. It feels like they really want us here and support it.” As the only professional golf tournament in Virginia, Doughtie said it is important that Richmond holds on to the Duramed event. “I’m definitely a big advocate for that, so whatever needs to be done, let me know,” she laughed. “I’m a little partial here but it’s definitely one of the best courses and definitely one of the best finishes you’ve got on any course that you play.

ish appeared to indicate they thought it was also fun to watch. Now they just need a hometown hero to root for.
