Noise ordinance sent back to staff By Ken Odor jodor@goochlandgazette.com
would ask the question is something going to be a liability to the county or make money for the county? Peterson and District 4 candidate Bob Minnick both noted that the TCSD payout each year by the county represents 4 percent of the total yearly budget. “The problem is that in the next 10 years that percentage payout figure will double and then in another 10 years it will double again,” Peterson noted. “There isn’t one answer, one solution as to what we can do to get more money into
Goochland supervisors sent the county administration’s latest attempt to create a new noise ordinance back to county staff for another do-over last week. After his presentation and a public hearing that involved 20 speakers, the board voted 4-0 to send it back to County Attorney Norman Sales for more study. Goochland repealed its old noise ordinance at the February Board of Supervisors meeting. The current proposed ordinance would have made the enforcement of violations of the ordinance a civil matter, an option made possible by the General Assembly in 2010. Under the new law, a citizen would request a local magistrate to issue a summons for an alleged violation, which could carry a maximum penalty of $250 for a first offence and $500 for subsequent offenses. The new ordinance would have been based on a “plainly audible” standard, a phrase that Sales said has not been defined. Although the first paragraph of the ordinance referred to noise at any time of day, the thrust of the law would have applied to the period between 11p.m and 7 a.m. A list of specific violations was listed, including one for animals, which read: “Allowing any animal, except farm animals in agricultural districts, to cause any sound or noise between 11:00 p.m. and 7:00 a.m. such that it is plainly audible (i) inside the confines of a detached dwelling unit of another person at least once a minute for ten (10) consecutive minutes or (ii) at one hundred (100) or more feet from the animal at least once a minute for ten (10) consecutive minutes.” The ordinance exempted a number of activities, such

NAACP Forum draws 21 candidates By Jim Fields jfields@mechlocal.com
The Goochland County chapter of the NAACP held a political forum Oct. 6 at the Goochland Recreational Center, and the people in attendance got an “ear full” from the candidates seeking their votes. A total of 21 of 29 candidates were present to try and sell themselves to approximately 50 voters interested in their views. All of the Board of Supervisors’ challengers were present while the incumbents were at a function at the J.S. Reynolds campus for the formal renaming of the site to J.S. Reynolds

Community College Goochland Campus. As for the five School Board races, the three incumbents running for reelection and all seven challengers were present. The common topic for all Board of Supervisor candidates was what is the county going to do about the looming financial disaster of the Tuckahoe Creek Service District (TCSD). Every candidate had something to say about the TCSD. Ken Peterson, running unopposed for the District 5 Supervisor’s seat, talked about his financial background which he said would let him look at all financial issues before the supervisors. He said he

The Tuckahoe Creek Service District (TCSD) continues to be a thorn in the sides of the members of the Goochland County Board of Supervisors. In 2002 when the TCSD was created, the economy was good. The Board at that time borrowed $63 million and bonds were secured through the Virginia Resource Authority, which allowed the county to sell the bonds. Now the economy is a bust and the county is having trouble paying off the bonds. When the process to create the next budget occurs, the question of should the County refinance the bonds and take on more debt and other alternatives to raising money annually to pay them off will be considered. During the afternoon session of the Board’s meeting Oct. 4, Supervisor James W. Eads made a historical presentation about the TCSD and offered a motion concerning land use plans in the TCSD. Eads, along with District 1 supervisor Andrew Pryor and District 4 supervisor Malvern R. “Rudy” Butler, was on the Board in 2002 when the TCSD was created. Eads’ motion read: “Today, I make a motion that this Board petition the State Legislature for authority to eliminate all land use plans for land owners in the TCSD, with the proviso that no land owner would be required to pay back taxes for the past five years for having been in the plan. This change would be effective July 1, 2012.” The motion did not receive a second and died. “I am very disappointed in the actions of the other Board members,” Eads said by phone Oct. 5. “I wasn’t asking them to make a change. I was asking them to authorize the county to petition the state legislature for permission to do so. If the legislature said no, it’s over. If the legislature says yes, then the new board would have to hold public hearings in the spring and then vote on it.”

District 5 Supervisor James W. Eads wants the Board of Supervisors to consider removing land in the Tuckahoe Service District from the Land Use Program. At last week’s Board of Supervisors meeting he could not find a second for his motion.
Eads said he viewed land use plans as a way of restricting development. “There are about 500 acres, surrounding the Rockville/Manakin interchange that are in land use plans,” he pointed out in his presentation to the Board. “Water and sewer services are available for immediate development of this land, which would help us pay for the bond debt. This is prime development property, which if developed now, would in turn spur other development.” Board Chairman William Quarles Jr. said it should be tabled and revisited later. County Administrator Rebecca Dickson told the Board that the county had received a check for $180,470.48 on Sept. 23 from the Commonwealth of Virginia as payment of the Goochland’s bond claim under the Commonwealth’s Faithful Performance of Duty Bond Plan for the money embezzled by former Treasurer Brenda Grubbs. The check matched the full amount an audit identified as having been embezzled between March 4, 2009 and Feb. 2, 2011 by Grubbs.
The county will now work with the Commonwealth, the Virginia Division of Risk Management and the Bond Plan in all actions or proceeding related to this matter, including their collection of funds. It was also announced that there would be a joint meeting of the Board of Supervisors and the School Board Nov. 15 at Luck Stone Corporation. A resolution was also passed authorizing a rabies Clinic on Nov. 5 at the Goochland Southern States location. Shots will be $10 for dogs and cats and Manakin-Sabot Veterinary Clinic will administer the vaccine. The Board also appropriated $75,000 from the FY2012 general fund to support a capital improvement program project for the Court Facility. It was also announced that on Dec. 9 from 6:30 – 9 p.m. the County Parks and Recreation and Facilities Management will partner with the YMCA for the lighting of a live Christmas tree on the Y property. There will be caroling and other events at the lighting and Santa is scheduled to make an appearance.

Drug takeback day set for Oct. 29 By Jim Fields jfields@mechlocal.com
The Goochland County Sheriff ’s Department is joining with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency on Oct. 29 to take part in a nationwide drug take back day. If you have unused, unneeded or expired prescription drugs, you can bring them to one of three collection centers in the county. Officers manning the collection centers will not ask any questions concerning prescription drugs. Drugs can stay in their original sealed container or emptied into a collection bin. Collection locations will operate from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the following Goochland Fire-Rescue facilities: Company 3 in
Centerfield; Company 5 at the Courthouse; and Company 6 in Hadensville. The program is anonymous and only prescription and over the counter solid dosage medications, tablets and capsules, will be accepted. Intra-venous solutions, injectables , needles and syringes will not be accepted. Street drugs, substances like marijuana and methamphetamine, are not part of the program and will not be accepted. Last April, Americans turned in 376,593 pounds – 188 tons – of prescription drugs at 5,400 locations. Contact the Goochland Sheriff ’s Department, 804556-5349, for additional information.

Noise continued from > page 1 as political gatherings, noise from businesses on industrial property, emergency response vehicles and fire, burglar and car alarms, among others. Most speakers in the public hearing opposed the proposed ordinance. “If you pass this as written it will be the first nail in the coffin for those who own dogs and kennels,” said Floyd Smith. But Steve Oakley countered that viewpoint. “People who don’t want to hear dogs barking also have rights,” he said. Michael McDermott said there was no way to enforce the proposed ordinance since it was not based on “distance and decibels.” McDermott said that information he had gathered showed that there was an average of about two noise complaints per week in the last 91 weeks. Sheriff Jim Agnew spoke last and minced no words. “It’s clear there is not a problem with noise in this county,” he said, adding that the proposed ordinance might cause as many problems as it would solve. “I don’t see any reason to act in haste,” said Agnew. Goochland County Administrator Rebecca Dickson asked the board for guidance after the motion by District 3 supervisor Ned Creasey. District 4 supervisor Rudy Butler provided a second. “Please advise what direction you want us to take,” she said before the vote. “We’ve done this three times now,”.

Palen’s injunction request dismissed in Circuit Court By Ken Odor jodor@goochlandgazette.com
Judge Timothy K. Sanner has dismissed a request by School Board candidate Penny Palen for a preliminary injunction against the Goochland County School Board. At a Tuesday afternoon hearing in Goochland Circuit Court, Sanner repeatedly asked Palen
why he should grant her request to enjoin the School Board from correcting any errors that might havebeenmadeintwoextensions of Goochland Superintendent Linda Underwood’s contract. “What would be wrong with allowing them to correct that?” asked Sanner, referring to Palen’s assertion that the addendums extending the contract contained dates that
violated Virginia law. The two extensions, one until July 14, 2013 and the second, extending the superintendent’s contract until Oct. 26, 2014, violated a part of the Virginia Code requiring school superintendents’ contracts to end on June 30 of any given year, argued Palen. She asked the court to enjoin the School Board from making any changes to the addendums or extending the origi-
nal contract further. But School Board attorney Andrea Erard argued that Palen’s motion failed on a number of counts, including, from Erard’s memorandum in opposition that she had failed to show that “she is likely to suffer irreparable harm in the absence of preliminary relief.” Erard also argued that an injunction would not be in the public interest, saying that it would not be served

the county,” Minnick noted. “We have to start with good fiscal management and move forward.” Susan Lascolette, challenging incumbent Andrew Pryor in District 1, said Goochland County is at a crossroads with TCSD, an example of mismanagement that has to be resolved. Challenger for supervisor in District 2 Manuel Alvarez stressed his business experience as a qualification for his challenge to Board of Supervisors Chairman William Quarles. Alvarez said he has been a competitive runner for more than 30 years, finishing one race with a broken leg and promised the same tenacity if elected to the board. Alan Tucker, challenging incumbent Ned Creasey in District 3, said both boards need to work together and that the county needs a plan to improve the tax base and attract high income jobs. As for School Board candidates, the issue concerning the two renewals of Goochland School Superintendent Linda Underwood’s employment contract was a topic of discussion. “Some people say Dr. Underwood is leading the School Board around, telling us what to do,” said Chairman and District 3 incumbent Ivan O. Mattox. “Dr. Underwood is doing what the School Board wants her to do. We are giving her direction, leading her. As for her contract extensions, they are personnel issues and not open for discussion.” Kevin Hazzard, a candidate for the District 2 seat on the School Board, also sought by incumbent Raymond Miller and Penny Palen, had the opposite view.
by placing restrictions on the authority granted to school boards by the Virginia General Assembly. Sanner agreed, saying he was not inclined to get involved in political matters unless there was a legal reason to do so. “It would be a dangerous situation for this court to get involved in the management of the school system,” said Sanner, saying that the only prohibition on their
“I think the superintendent is leading the Board around and getting them to do exactly what she wants,” he said. “Our elementary schools are good, but we have some issues in middle school and high school that are going to catch up with us soon if we don’t address them.” Miller said Underwood had received evaluations to support her extensions. He stressed student achievement as the goal by which the school system should be measured. Palen said stressed her work during the past two years as an advocate for Goochland students, citing the need to prepare them for success in the 21st century. Mattox’s challenger in District 3, John Lumpkins, said four years ago he had no idea he would run. He said after becoming concerned about the finances of the school system, it was essential to know where the money is coming from and where it is going. District 4 School Board candidate Beth Hardy said she wasn’t a politician. “I’m running for the School Board because I feel compelled to,” she said. “Our kids are our greatest resource, and we need to take care of them. We need to keep money in the schools and take care of the teachers.” Phi Davis said teachers fear retribution if they speak up under the current administration. Hardy and Davis are running for the seat of retiring incumbent School Board member Andrew Meng lll. District 1 School Board member James Haskell said the school system was still producing good results despite having to cut the budget in recent years. Challenger Michael Payne, a vocational teacher in Henrico, said he would ask for input from his constituents about Superintendent Underwood. He cited the need to prepare students not only for college but for success
negotiating the superintendent’s contract would be after Election Day, Nov. 8, after which they are prohibited from taking any action until the new School Board is sworn in in January 2012. Palen said the day after the hearing that while she may have lost in court, “It was still the right thing to do. The important thing here is that the entire county will be watching the School Board. It shines a light on them.”

Her opponent for the position, Tana Marie Hogue, offered her business and bookkeeping background as a reason to vote her in. Sheriff Jim Agnew, running unopposed, promised to make efforts to recruit minority candidates in answer to a question from the audience. Republican state senate candidate Tom Garrett, running in the newly created 22nd District against Democrat Bert Dotson, who was not present, said he would oppose any attempt to make it more difficult to cast absentee ballots.

Local singer and band will headline Goochland Fall Festival By Jim Fields jfields@mechlocal.com
Michelle Nixon is no stranger to the stage when it comes to soulful singing. The Goochland County native says she has been singing all of her life. She made her professional debut at Satterwhite Restaurant on Broad Street Road, and instead of being paid off with “mammoth burgers,”she received money. “I was 14 at the time and had a little band,” she said. “We did a show at Satterwhite’s and they paid me $50. That did it. I was hooked on singing and performing for a career.” Her late father, Roger Thurston and an uncle, Bruce Adams, taught her how to play the guitar. “My father taught me what he knew about playing the guitar when I was 11,” she said. “A few years later, my uncle Bruce taught
me more advanced chords. I don’t consider myself a really good guitar player, but I can play enough to strum along when I’m singing.” As a student at Goochland High School, she played clarinet in the band and was also a cheerleader. “When we went to a football game, I would play and march in the band wearing my cheerleader uniform,” she said with a big smile on her face. When it came time for Nixon to decide which musical form she wanted to perform, she chose Bluegrass. When she refers to it, she calls it “acoustical” music, and Nixon has some definite opinions about her music and what is called modern day country. “Acoustical music is pure music,” she said. “Country music today is too electronic, too clean. Everything has to be perfect. I’m not sure what they call country today really is country. It sounds a
lot like rock and roll from several decades ago. “In acoustical music, we sing about what’s real. A lot of times, it’s about our own experiences,” Nixon continued. “We don’t have drums and electric guitars, except for maybe a bass. Sometimes the sound isn’t as clean and pure as modern country, but it always comes from the heart. We’re putting as much of ourselves into every note as we can.” When it comes to touring and meeting her fans, she is no stranger to the road. “We have a tour bus everyone travels on,” she said. “It’s arranged in sections, including a sleeping section with stacked bunks. I have one of the bottom bunks because I’m short [5’-2 ½”] and it’s easier for me to get in and out of. I guess that’s why good things come in small packages.” When a show is over, Nixon has all the time in the world for her fans.
“I’ll sit at the autography table and sign autographs as long as there is someone waiting that wants one,” she said. “When that’s over, we usually aren’t in a hurry to leave and will go outside and jam with people in the parking lot who are picking and singing and having a good time.” Nixon formed the first version of the band named Drive in 2002, and then after taking some time off, recast it last year. Her husband Nick, a singer/songwriter also, is a member. “Now all of the band members are from Virginia,” she said. “Now when we are touring, it’s easy for them to get here. Before, I had band members from South Carolina and Tennessee. Sometimes it was a challenge to get everyone together so we could hit the road. Now, they can park their car at the house or someone drops them off and away we go.” Nixon, 47, doesn’t like being gone from home for long periods

OPINION: Editorial, Letters to the Editor
October 13 2011

A loud no to the noise ordinance One has to feel some sympathy for County Attorney Norman Sales, tasked with the unenviable job of creating a noise ordinance for the county. Such ordinances seem to be one of the hardest things to write in a manner that will protect citizens’ desire for a reasonably peaceful environment in which to live while at the same time not violating the freedom of their neighbors to pursue their interests. And as many law enforcement agencies would attest, they are almost impossible to enforce and take up an inordinate amount of time that might be better used combating more serious matters. That, of course, no longer applies in Goochland, where the latest attempt makes noise violations a civil matter. But the most recent attempt in Goochland, using an as yet undefined “plainly audible” standard, seemed destined to be rejected as soon as I read it. A dog barking once every minute for 10 minutes? Who’s going to prove this happened? And the potential for abuse seems clear when all that is required is for a citizen to go to the magistrate and file a complaint against a neighbor in supposed violation. Sheriff Agnew summed it up when he said there is no noise problem in the county. I bet he’s at least glad that it’s no longer a criminal matter and his officers won’t have to be involved. But while it appears to be true there is not an overall problem, there are obviously individual cases where residents’ quality of life is adversely
affected by noise and one’s sympathies lay with them. So it appears the County Attorney will have another go at the problem, even after County Administrator Rebecca Dickson expressed some frustration at the lack of progress when the board declined to vote on the newest proposal and asked for more specific direction from the board. Besides sympathizing with those who are suffering from excessive noise, one has to feel for the County Attorney in his attempt to please everyone with an ordinance for this pesky problem.
Economic Plan a first step Now that the supervisors have approved the economic development plan presented by consultant John Rhodes last week, the search is evidently on for an economic development director for the county. The plan presented seemed like a sensible one but the thought that comes to mind immediately is that no matter how good the plan, it’s hard to attract development with the economy in the doldrums. Rhodes’ point about the surplus office space sitting empty in the region is a case in point. No matter how good the plan, and how talented the future director and his team are, significant progress toward bringing development to Goochland likely depends on a significant upturn in the economy. Here’s hoping that upturn happens soon. - Ken Odor
Letters to the Editor Which Rudy Butler represents you? I live in the Tuckahoe Creek Service District in Goochland District 4. Recently, I received a campaign letter from Supervisor Rudy Butler. Mr. Butler’s letter listed his qualifications for Supervisor and went into detail about his role in the creation of the TCSD. Imagine my surprise when I found out that Rudy Butler sent a different campaign letter to the citizens of District 4 that don’t live in the TCSD. A friend of mine who lives in the “Western” part of the District showed me the letter he received from Mr. Butler. The tone and message of the “Western Letter” is differ-
ent from the letter I received. Why is Rudy Butler saying different things in different areas of District 4? Is he playing one section of the district against another? How can Mr. Butler work together with other members of the Board of Supervisors for the betterment of Goochland when he is dividing his own district? I’ve seen enough. I will be voting for Bob Minnick for Supervisor on Nov. 8. My question to my neighbors in District 4 is this: Which Rudy Butler represents you? David Love Manakin Sabot

Pryor’s decisions show common sense I’ve been an observer of Mr. Pryor for a number of years, along with other Board of Supervisors members. I rate him the best. He has consistently represented all of Goochland County well. While quiet and unassuming, he has most always acted in the best interests of everyone, including his constituents. His decisions and votes show common sense. He has a lifelong commitment to our county. He generally takes the long view and the high road as he seeks to maintain a balanced perspective toward local government. His views are without biased, party affiliation. Take a look at his service, his background and, especially, the people he has associated with. That should tell you that he’s the one to support in the November 8 election. Doug Kinney Maidens
Thoughts on Palen and the election Having sat in the courtroom for the Palen hearing on her motions, the judge made it very clear that he was limited to legal matters, not political ones. Fair enough response, especially given the mixed effects of judicial activism. I thought that Ms. Palen’s main legal point was that recent School Board contractual arrangements with Dr Underwood, violated some part of the Va. Code. The judge agreed with that but his remedy was for the School Board to fix it. Ms. Palen’s response was, wait a moment, we have elections coming up and some or all of the of the School Board may not hold those positions, i.e. lame ducks. The judge then referred to the state regulations on this and the timing of what the School Board can or can not do. Bottom line, it will be the ultimate decision of the voters, not his. Whether the School Board remedies the violation of the Virginia Code with respect to Dr. Underwood’s contract was unclear to me. Anyway, I found the hearing interesting and wonder if Ms. Palen had legal representation whether the arguments made
and the outcome could have been different. But speculations can be dangerous and so we move on to what will be a most important election cycle, every citizen’s vote is important. If you don’t vote, don’t complain. Richard Carchman Columbia
Minnick’s fresh ideas needed Bob Minnick’s opponents have said that he does not have enough ‘Experience’ and has not lived in Goochland long enough to serve on the BOS. Some do not like the aggressive approach of his campaign that frankly discusses the many problems and issues that the county faces today, all of which evolved under the watch of Rudy Butler. A recent ‘Letter to the Editor’ said that Bob Minnick needed to attend board meetings to learn more about Goochland. In fact, Bob has attended about half of the BOS meetings over the last 6 years. Additionally, he was raised in a rural farming community and has extensive education, military, and private business experience, but his most important qualification is his strong desire to

for Board of Supervisors in District 1. I am tired of hearing about candidates, national and local, flapping their yaps, promising us all sorts of wonderful things. Andrew does not talk a whole lot, as anyone who knows him can attest, and it’s a fine thing to be represented by a politician who doesn’t. Newcomers to the county may not be aware that Andrew supported education in the county, voting to build the new high school when to do so was clearly needed but was going to raise taxes. No savvy politician would face that threat, would duck the issue. Folks complain that the roads in District 1 are not as good as in some other parts of the county. They can’t stand to Jesse Pickels be behind some International Manakin-Sabot Harvester (as the song goes). The road in front of my house was recently repaved, with the Writer supports result that trucks, cars and Pryor for District 1 motorcycles boom past the place like after-shocks. All one I’m happy to have my signs has to do is slow down. out supporting Andrew Pryor ‘make a difference’ in Goochland. In order to clearly outline their positions, Bob challenged Rudy Butler to a debate anytime, anywhere, and in the format of his choice. Rudy declined this invitation. The ‘Meet and Greet’ meetings being held in October are helpful, but they are like a Rec. League slow-pitch softball game compared to a Goochland High School Baseball game. Why would Rudy decline a one-onone District 4 debate? It has been said that you can’t keep doing the same thing over and over and expect different results. Well, you can’t keep electing the same district 4 supervisor over and over and expect things in Goochland to get better.

Folks complain that District 1 is under-developed. I certainly didn’t move to the county to live in some place like what Short Pump has become, or like Zion Crossroads is trying to become. Living in an under-developed area suits me just fine. Andrew has a public record one can be proud of. Voters can look at the record. They will have something solid to base their votes on. Boyd Berry Hadensville
Please vote new members to the BOS The election date for new members of the Board of Supervisors is almost here. I am asking my fellow citizens of Goochland County to join me in electing a completely new slate of board members for our county. see Letters > page 10

Letters continued from > page 7 Soon the county will be called upon to begin paying some $100,000,000 over the next twenty years for the principal and interest on the Tuckahoe Creek Service District bonds. In the absence of some dramatic new economic developments in the county in the next few years, the supervisors will soon be increasing your property taxes by some 10 to 20 percent, just to pay for the bonds. All of this comes in the face of declining tax revenues from the reductions in the value of our properties. No one can believe that reelecting any of the current slate of board members will provide the leadership needed to get our county out of this swamp.

OPINION: Letters to the Editor
October 13 2011 of Supervisors to support her, nothing will change for the better. We need a fresh team of new supervisors and this upcoming election gives us a chance to do just that. Don’t let this opportunity pass. Vic Davis Manakin-Sabot
Take time to review board candidates I urge everyone to look at the new candidates for Board of Supervisors. One can only get a different result when you get to the core of what is wrong and move forward. No matter how many things that one can think that a particular board member has done that they think was good, there have been, in my opinion, too many that have been bad. We must judge people by the “fruit” that they produce so whether or not we think they are honest, trustworthy, hard-
working or if we have known them for a long time, you need to come to the board meeting on a regular basis and judge the follow through fruit of that persona that we have envisioned. We must remind ourselves that the core to our local government is the board and that all employees “serve at the board’s pleasure” which means with that mindset, a door is open of opportunity to all with permit abuse of power, corruption to manifest and grow. Those individuals who tirelessly come to the board meetings and pry into why are you voting this way should be applauded for they are the ones that have shed light on so many issues. They want the abuse to stop and things to change for the better. We have to realized that for things to change, there has to be a mindset change. Having attended more meetings than I thought I ever would, I have seen that there needs to be a mindset change. Look at all the positive changes that have occurred with just one new guy

on the board, Creasy! I think we need to change more seats on the board so that we can see more change for the good. I am sure all the older board members think that they are good people, but it takes a wise man to actually know if his actions are good and that those actions are not motivated by personal interests. You never want to “maintain status” as one citizen wrote, you always need to move forward and sometimes to be able to do that, you need a new set of eyes that will bring Goochland to a higher level. Debbie Gibson Manakin-Sabot
Tell supervisors to say no to Benedictine The light at the end of the tunnel might be an oncoming train. Fellow Goochland residents, I urge you to contact all the supervisors (Pryor, Quarles, Creasy, Butler and Eads) and ask that they vote against Benedictine’s request for a Condition Use Permit. As Goochland taxpayers, we may soon be paying significantly increased taxes as a result of the illconceivedTuckahoeCreekService District, which was supported by the Board of Supervisors. Are they setting us up for another train wreck? Benedictine, represented by Darvin Satterwhite,
www.goochlandgazette.com claims that Benedictine’s move to Goochland would not cost the county any money. How can he make that claim? Consider for a moment this fact: how could 350+ people (growing to over 600+ by their own projections) arrive, stay approximately 10 hours and leave each day without having an impact on fire, rescue, police and roads? Who will pay for additional pumping stations when water pressure plummets for those users east of Benedictine? The county taxpayers would bear that cost. What happens when police have to direct traffic of River Rd. every morning and respond to accidents? Who will pay for tem? You, the taxpayer. Benedictine would pay no taxes to Goochland as they are a tax-exempt entity. They will only drain the coffers, meaning that Goochland would be in the position of either having to make further cuts in an already lean budget or having to raise taxes. Neither prospect is appealing. Mr. Butler said at the September Board of Supervisors meeting that he would not support Benedictine’s move to Goochland if it cost the county any money, yet he has not come out and taken a firm stand against the Benedictine CUP altogether. Also, shouldn’t Mr. Butler recuse himself from voting since he

has a business relationship with Mr. Satterwhite? I find it curious that he supported Bellview Gardens when they opposed Goodwill, yet remains silent in the clearly incompatible nature of a large school in a low density residential area and on a road clearly not built for heavy traffic. The late Don Charles, director of Community Development for Goochland, said that “The River Rd corridor has historically been a residential scale area and the Goochland County Comprehensive Plan indicates low density residential and open space/recreation as the area’s appropriate land uses. The nature and intensity of activities associated with academic institutions is not compatible with the Comprehensive Plan.” Mr. Charles further stated, “River Rd, Pagebrook Rd. and Blair Rd. are ill-equipped to handle traffic of the magnitude and character associated with an active educational facility.” Mr.Eads,supervisor in District 5 opposes this Conditional Use Permit. I would like to know how the other supervisors feel and will look forward to hearing their comments at the Goochland Chamber of Commerce “Candidate Night” on Oct. 18 at Goochland High School.

More than 350 Crestview Elementary students made the half mile trek to their campus last week to celebrate International Walk to School Day. Below, students walk with the school mascot Big Red.
Crestview Elementary students use leg power to celebrate event By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Writer Walking to school is an activity often associated with a bygone era, but 350 Crestview Elementary students offered a new take on an old tradition last week. Joined by First Lady Maureen McDonnell, the elementary students walked more than half a mile to their campus from neighboring Christ United
Methodist Church in recognition of International Walk to School Day. Numerous county and state officials, the Tucker Marching Band and Henrico Fire and Rescue also joined in the walk to the school. Once they arrived, students were treated to a free nutritious breakfast. Henrico school board representative Diana Winston, who continued on page 13

Delegate John O’Bannon, Secretary of Transportation Sean Connaughton and Secretary of Health and Human Services Bill Hazel were among the officials who met students on the school’s front lawn for a short program after the walk. International Walk to School is a global effort to promote safe communities that foster environments where children feel safe and secure. Most Crestview students chose to hoof it to school and their dedication was rewarded with a bright safety orange tshirt.

The County and Accelerate Virginia are partnering to promote local participation by residents and businesses which will help identify areas in the county that are in need of better access to high-speed Internet services. Collaborative outreach and promotional

efforts will begin on October 4, 2011 when the County officially kicks-offs their participation in the Accelerate Virginia campaign. Accelerate Virginia was launched in 2010 as an extension of the Virginia Tech eCorridors program and is responsible for the collection of consumer broadband availability data for Virginia’s broadband mapping initiative. Additionally it aims to engage and educate the public and raise awareness about broadband availability in Virginia. The Accelerate Virginia Internet speed test is a short and
simple online survey and speed test that measures the overall quality and performance of your Internet connection. For the first time, users (not just providers) are being asked to provide information about Internet accessibility in their communities. Upon completion users will receive performance details regarding their Internet connection, as well as a comparison summary based on other speed test results in the community. To participate in the Accelerate Virginia campaign, all residents with Internet access are asked to visit http://acceler-
atevirginia.org/speedtest and take the two-minute speed test from their home computers. Accelerate Virginia also encourages business owners to take the speed test from their business locations. Everyone is asked to spread the word and encourage friends and neighbors to participate. Participants will receive real-time information about the quality of their Internet connection; a comparison summary of what others in the community are reporting, including provider names, connection types, speed averages and satisfaction ratings;
and better awareness about the speed you need to access content and services you want. Participants will also be contributing information that will support Virginia’s effort to accurately map current broadband availability across the state and to help drive future policy decisions and strategically direct future funding to areas of need. Because numerous, often temporary factors affect connection speed, you may want to take the speed test more than once, at different dates and times. The average of those readings will present the most
reliable overall measure of your connection capabilities. When you connect to the Internet, the speeds that you will experience will vary based on a variety of factors, including: • the configuration of the computer you are testing from; • your home networking configuration; • the number of computers and other networked equipment using the available bandwidth at the same time a speed test is being run – for the best results do not download/

Clelia Johnson turned 98 a few weeks ago. She celebrated by taking a two-hour flight in a sailplane with her cousin Ben Johnson at the controls. The cousins, both Goochland residents, have been up together once before in the Duo Discus, a German designed two-passenger glider that Ben shares ownership in with two other members of the Shenandoah Mountains Soaring Club. They took off with the help of a tow plane from Waynesboro Airport for the birthday flight. “It was a real birthday present,” said Clelia in a recent interview at Ben’s home. The

Supervisors approve economic development plan When recovery comes, county must be ready By Ken Odor jodor@goochlandgazette.com
Consultant John Rhodes has been working on a new economic development plan for months. Last Thursday evening he presented his work to the Goochland Board of Supervisors and they approved it 4-0. “You have formidable competitors near you,” said Rhodes, whose appearance
was delayed until after public hearings were over. Those neighboring counties and the City of Richmond are also aggressively trying to expand, noted Rhodes. But Goochland has plenty of one thing nearby competitors lack – land. So, although the metro area currently has a surplus of office space, for instance, once that space is filled during a future recovery, Goochland will be in a good spot. “If you’re a broker you’ll keep your eye on Goochland County,” Rhodes said. “When they want to build, you’re
going to stick out,” he said. In the meantime, with the surplus inventory of buildings many businesses find it cheaper to lease than to build. “This puts you on kind of a waiting list,” said Rhodes. Rhodes concentrated on four major areas for future planning, the West Creek area, Centerville and surroundings, the I-64 corridor and the Courthouse Village area and talked about what might be done in each to enhance development. One obstacle in the county’s most eastern area, the Tuckahoe Creek Service District (TCSD),
is the amount of land currently in Land Use status. Rhodes said the board needs to address this issue to make the area more ready for development. Another drawback is the lack of backup telecommunications and utilities capability in the TCSD, said Rhodes. The report contained an action plan for the county, with the first step being to hire an economic development director. Step two was to stimulate investment in the TCSD. “This is your big tax base,” said Rhodes. Promoting business growth
along the I-64 corridor, which would involve providing access to utilities, was next on the plan. Fourth was developing a conceptual plan for the Courthouse Area, including defining what sort of development is desired. Rhodes made several recommendations, including a possible horticultural hub centering on the programs offered at J. Sargeant Reynolds. The last step was an effort to expand the outdoor-related tourism potential of the county, such as the recreational activities offered by
the James River. The board hesitated at first but with the encouragement of County Administrator Rebecca Dickson voted to accept the plan. Dickson said county administration would move ahead with a search for an economic development director with a goal of identifying candidates for interviews sometime in December. The plan is available on the county’s Web site at http://www.co.goochland. va.us/LinkClick.aspx?fileticke t=faZxJwNMsdM%3D&tabi d=83&mid=621.
Mineral wins big with free Alan Jackson concert By Kristen Green Media General News Service
Last week, the town of Mineral got the bad news that the state did not secure FEMA aid to help it rebuild after the August earthquake. Then, on Monday, came the good news: Mineral scored a concert by one of the nation’s biggest country-music stars. The Louisa County town of 490 won a contest for a concert by Alan Jackson. With the advocacy of social media outlets and Virginia politicians, the town pulled in more than 31,000 votes in the contest hosted by eventful.com, which
Sailplane continued from > page 16 Ben, 72, has been a licensed pilot since 1960 but didn’t start gliding until 2001. The two cousins share a special bond that goes back to WWII, when Clelia’s brother, Warren, a B-29 bomber pilot,
ended Monday at 1 p.m. Bernice Wilson-Kube, vice mayor of Mineral, about 35 miles northwest of Richmond, said everyone in town is talking about the concert. “It’s on people’s minds right up there with the earthquake,” said Wilson-Kube, a huge fan who played Jackson songs at both of her parents’ funerals and voted in the contest. She said the focus on winning the contest has been “a nice diversion” from the almost daily aftershocks of the 5.8magnitude earthquake. Town leaders have been discussing whether the concert for 1,000
to 3,000 people could be held at the town’s Walton Park or in the Louisa County High School football stadium. Council members are waiting to hear from eventful.com, the company promoting the country-music star’s new album, “Long Way to Go.” The two-time Grammy Award winner has had 34 No. 1 hits, including “Gone Country” and “Where Were You (When the World Stopped Turning).” Mineral town offices were closed Monday. “We have asked the town manager to go up and listen to the messages,” Wilson-Kube said
Monday afternoon. It was unclear when the concert will be held and how tickets will be distributed. No one answered phone calls to California-based eventful. com on Monday, and media representatives did not return phone messages. Wilson-Kube said social media helped spread the word to vote for Mineral, including a Facebook page, “Bring Alan Jackson to Mineral, VA.” House Majority Leader Eric Cantor’s office also chimed in with an email to constituents in the 7th District, praising the community for coming together
in recovery efforts. “We can think of no one more deserving of a free Alan Jackson concert,” his office wrote. “If you agree with us, please cast your vote for Mineral.” Sen. Mark R. Warner, DVa., also sent the link to the online contest page to his 21,000 Twitter followers and 15,500 Facebook friends. Beth Strong, a manager at Miller’s Market, which was badly damaged in the quake, said of the concert, “It’s something we really need right now. With everybody’s spirits being down, it’s something that will get their spirits back up.”
Gov. Bob McDonnell’s office announced Friday that the Federal Emergency Management Agency denied Virginia’s request to aid individuals who were affected by the Aug. 23 earthquake and said the commonwealth would appeal. Warner said he backed McDonnell’s decision to appeal. In the Jackson concert contest, Mineral bested the Kansas City metro area, which had about a quarter of the votes of Mineral. Third place was Minot, N.D., where record flooding displaced nearly 11,000 residents this summer.
came by to see Ben before shipping out for duty. He brought a model airplane as gift for the 4-year-old boy. “I’ll help you put it together when I get back,” Ben recalls Warren saying. Warren didn’t live to fulfill that promise. He was killed in action over Japan.
That makes the glider flights with her cousin even more special to Clelia. “It’s a way of remembering Warren,” she explained. On the birthday flight the cousins took off in the afternoon and spent their couple hours at altitudes ranging from 4,500 to 7,000 feet, trav-
eling at about 60 mph. They used a special hoist to lift Clelia into the passenger seat. Clelia described the sensation of gliding as “like sitting in your armchair at home.” After the flight they had a surprise birthday party for Clelia. Ben, who has his own
company dealing in industrial controls, said when he isn’t working he’s at Waynesboro almost every weekend, either flying or working with the club. He said it is something special to be able to share his love of gliding with his cousin.
Clelia clearly agrees. “It was a day to remember,” she said. Besides shooting photos with several cameras mounted on the glider, Ben also made a five minute video of the flight. You can see it on You Tube at http://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=USXhq2EPfFU.

Bulldogs answer wake up call at Nottoway 42-19 BY JIM RIDOLPHI Special Correspondent
The Goochland Bulldogs found themselves in an unfamiliar position Friday night when they traveled to Crewe to take on Nottoway. With only seconds gone in the first quarter, the Bulldogs trailed 70 after an 80-yard run by the Cougars’ Cobie Branch on the first play from scrimmage. “First thing out, they go 80 yards and we’re back on our heels,” said Bulldog coach Joe Fowler. “That’s the second time we’ve been behind this season and that is good experience for us. Our kids battled back and played pretty darn good for the rest of the night.” Apparently, the quick score didn’t sit well with the visitors. Following a short Nottoway kickoff, Goochland quarterback Cody Johnson found wideout Nathan Adams deep in Cougar territory. Running back Jake Martin covered the final 13 yards to knot the game

at seven. Two plays later, Goochland’s Martin Engel picked a Johnny Coombs pass and raced 58 yards for a touchdown, but the Bulldogs weren’t finished with their answer to the early insult. Johnson and Adams connected again, this time for a
touchdown that covered 46 yards, and as the first quarter ended, the Bulldogs had a comfortable 21-7 edge. However, the host Cougars didn’t quit and made it a one score game, 21-13, at intermission. The Bulldogs relied on its
dependable ground game in the second half, with Patrick Clore breaking loose for a 56yard run early in the third. He followed with a 1-yard scoring plunge in the closing quarter and Mitchell Brice added a final TD with a 31-yard run to make the margin 42-13.
“We made a concerted effort to run the ball in the second half like we do,” Fowler said. “Patrick and Mitchell did a great job of running the ball in the second half. They were patient because it wasn’t there in the first half.” The Cougars scored late in the game when Coombs found Curtis Hurte for an 80-yard reception. It was little consolation for Cougar coach Grayson Throckmorton who said the team’s first year in the James River District is proving to be a challenge. “They are a very talented and well run organization, so we knew we had our hands full,” he said. Throckmorton said he installed a new offense and the team had only one week to master it, but he was pleased with some of the results. “I thought we did a pretty good job of running the new offense and it worked well until they began shutting us down in the second half,” he said. The coach said the loss
would serve his troops well. “We showed some improvement against a really good football team. I saw some good things and we need to continue to get better.” Fowler hopes this game will focus his Bulldogs on the tough remaining schedule. “Hopefully, it’s a wake up call for us. We have the potential but we are rough around the edges,” he said. “We made some mistakes, but all of them are correctible. That’s the positive from tonight.” The Bulldogs host Cumberland this Friday night at 7 p.m. Goochland................ 14 14 7 7 — 42 Nottoway.................... 7 6 0 6 — 19 N — Branch 80 run (Hurt kick) G — Martin 14 run (Cooke kick) G — Engel 60 interception return (Cooke kick) G — Adams 46 pass from Johnson (Cooke kick) N — Coombs 5 run (kick failed) G — Clore 56 run (Cooke kick) G — Clore 1 run (Cooke kick) G — Brice 31 run (Cooke kick) N — Hurt 80 pass from Coombs (pass failed)
Cougars soccer on track with 5-0 win over FUMA BY JIM RIDOLPHI Special Correspondent
Often, a team’s record entering a contest is not the best indicator of who will actually come out victorious. Such was the case last week when the Collegiate (5-3-1) boys soccer team hosted Fork Union Military Academy (7-3-1). It was never close, as the Cougars scored early and often in the contest to post a 5-0 win over the Blue Devils. The Cougars lost 11 seniors from last year’s VISAA state runner-up squad, but approaching mid season the team is beginning to find its stride with a young but talented group of players. Cougar coach Charlie Blair felt his team looked sharp in win. “I was pleased with the way we possessed the ball,” he said. “We did a
nice job using the field and knocking it around, and created some good opportunities.” The coach indicated some recent player relocations seem to be working for the Cougars. “They’re starting to understand each other a little better and it’s important to get that going,” he said. Michael Howard, one of only four seniors on the team, scored early for the Cougars and finished with three scores, a nice addition to his six goals the previous week, all accomplished with a nagging shoulder injury. “He’s a truly special soccer player, and he’s a great kid,” Blair said. “He’s worked so hard everyday in practice and the team has respect for him.” Howard, who co-captains the team with Thomas Hatcher, is headed to University of Virginia
next year to play lacrosse. The Cougars took a 4-0 advantage at the half, and pulled many starters early in the second. FUMA coach Mariusz Mostrag felt his team never recovered from the early onslaught, and it was an experience best forgotten by the Blue Devils. “The early score really hurt us, and their forward has a great day with and turned on us twice with great shots from 18,” Mostrag said. “We were half a second late getting there.” Once the team got down, the aggressive Cougar defense prevented any hopes of a comeback. “It’s always hard to come back against a well organized team like Collegiate,” Mostrag said. The Devils continue play with Prep League opponents St. Christopher’s and Christchurch
this week. “I don’t think we are quite at that level, but we’ve been competitive with some well established programs,” Mostrog said. Collegiate takes on Christchurch and Trinity this week and even with the FUMA win, the coach said he’s taking them one at a time. “Every game will be an adventure for us.” The Cougars are currently 2-0 in league play.
