Bulldogs win District title

Turnout steady in early voting By Ken Odor jodor@goochlandgazette.com

Voting was strong and steady in the early going Tuesday at the District 4 polling place at St. Matthew’s Methodist Church. Chief Officer of Elections at District 4 Cora Brown said 13 percent of registered voters had cast ballots by 9:15 a.m. “We’ve had a steady stream all morning,” said Brown. Goochland County Electoral Board Chairman

Herb Griffith, said he wouldn’t be surprised if turnout reached 70 percent when it was all over. “It started early and it’s been even all day,” said Griffith. In the church parking lot, candidates for supervisor Rudy Butler and Bob Minnick greeted voters as they arrived, as did School Board hopefuls Beth Hardy and Phil Davis. The Gazette will post election results online as soon as they are available at www. goochlandgazette.com.

See your participating Lennox dealer for details. Lennox dealers include independently owned and operated businesses.

The question of whether Benedictine will be allowed to relocate to its River Road site may finally be answered in December. At the Nov. 2 Board of Supervisors Meeting, Dec. 6 was designated as the date for a public hearing on the question after an attempt by Supervisor James Eads to move the date failed. Eads contended that the current Board shouldn’t vote on the issue. “Originally, the people at Benedictine wanted an answer as to whether or not they would be allowed to move their high school to their River Road address in September,” he said. “Then just hours before that meeting was to occur in September, they ask for a 90 day continuance. Since the urgency for an answer in September is no longer an issue, I propose that we move the public hearing and vote on the issue by the Board to February. I don’t believe a lame duck board should vote on this issue, and by doing it in February, the new Board that will take office in January will have time to review the issue and make a decision.” The motion died from not receiving a second and the December date was set. The only question now is where will the public hearing be held? The auditorium at the high school is unavailable and the auditorium where the Board of Supervisors meets is too small. It was suggested that the high school gym might be a suitable site but

nothing was finalized. After the public hearing, the Board is scheduled to vote on the issue at the December meeting. In another issue the Board discussed, $665,000 was appropriated from the general fund for FY2012 uses. The biggest item was $400,000 for the Utilities – Master Plan. Supervisor Rudy Butler said he didn’t understand why the Board needed to appropriate that money now and County Administrator Rebecca Dickson said it could be taken out and considered when the next budget was worked on. The problem was that there had already been a motion to appropriate the money and a second. Butler then said he would like to make another motion to pull the $400,000 out, but it died when there wasn’t a second. When the original motion was voted on, it passed with all of the supervisors but

to buy. Wright said that the area would be “an engine for the county to produce revenue growth.” But Ellen Kowalski said Flexible Use was “incompatible in the first place for a residential neighborhood.” Kowalski asked if the land use map designation was not changed, what would prevent developers from buying residential property at depressed prices

and then waiting for the right time to develop the properties? “The very first property would erode home prices,” said Kowalski. She asked the board to remove the threat. There is no reason to keep flexible use unless someone intends to use it,” she said. The board voted 4-1 to approve the Land Use Map designation change, with only District 1 supervisor Andrew Pryor dissenting.

Bah Humbug at GHS! Contributed Report by Neil Burch

That classic phrase means Christmas time is upon us and the Goochland Players are kicking off the holiday season November 18-20th with their production, The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge. Written by Mark Brown, The Trial of Ebenezer Scrooge, is a comedic sequel to Charles Dickensâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s A Christmas Carol. This time the iconic Ebenezer Scrooge resorts back to his old ways, seeking revenge against the familiar Jacob Marley and Christmas Ghosts by pressing charges against them for trespassing, kidnapping and attempted murder. The students of Goochland High Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Drama Department have been working diligently for the past few months, carefully developing wellknown characters while adding their own personal touch. Since the characters are highly familiar, students have been tapping into their childhood memories and viewing popular adaptations of the original story to make sure they are giving each character justice. The production is a family-friendly event, and the plot is engaging for audience members of all ages. Tickets cost only $7 for Adults and $3 for students and children. The show offers three

The U.S. Polo Asociation, the national governing body for the sport of polo, has named Todd Thurston (19) of ManakinSabot as one of eight new players to Team USPA. The organization established a developmental program in 2010 to grow and sustain the sport of polo by identifying talented young American players and providing opportunities to grow their abilities. Thurston began riding horses at age five and started playing arena polo at 14 in the Virginia Polo High School Program under the instruction of Lou and LJ Lopez. In the summer of 2008, he was first introduced to grass polo by Maureen Brennan at Virginia International Polo Club in Upperville, where he was a working student. There he learned from Maureen and the Chilean professionals notably Cote Zegers, Matias Vial, and Tano Vial, who annually come up to play. Thurston has been a working student at the club for four summers, gaining experience at various levels of play and learning game skills as well as horsemanship and work ethic. Thurston played Virginia interscholastic polo throughout high school and helped his team win the Southeast Regional his senior year for the first time in program history. After graduating from St. Christopher’s, he went on to the University of Virginia where he now plays on the men’s varsity polo team. This fall, he is taking the semester off to work in Eduardo Heguy’s Chapalefu II organization in Argentina. Thurston will return to his studies at UVa in January and hopes to help the men’s polo team win another national championship this year. The USPA Intercollegiate program is

a major factor in selecting Team USPA with six of the eight members currently playing for collegiate teams. Since Team USPA’s inception, intercollegiate players have made up 75 percent of the team each year, representing college and university polo programs around the country and internationally. The new Team USPA players bring the team’s roster to 39, and they will attend specialized clinics and receive training and competition opportunities that aim to develop them to their fullest. The eight new Team USPA members include: Matt Baker, Des Moines, Ia;

Sterling Giannico , Wellington, Fl.; Zach Grob, Sherman, Ct.; Tiamo Hudspeth, La Conner, Wa.; Stephanie Massey , College Station, Tx.; Lucas Reid, Moscow, Id.; Kareem Rosser, Dryden, N.Y.; Todd Thurston , Manakin Sabot, Va. “We are extremely excited to add eight new players to Team USPA who have shown considerable talent and a great devotion to the sport of polo,” said Kris Bowman, Director of Team USPA. “Their passion and commitment will be a huge asset for the program as we look to expand the sport and increase the level of play for U.S. polo.”

NEWS: What’s Going on in Goochland County

www.goochlandgazette.com

Low cost internet service available through Comcast Internet Essentials

Staff Report news@goochlandgazette.com

Comcast has announced a new program, Internet Essentials, which provides families with children who are eligible to receive free lunches under the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) with low-cost Internet service, affordable computers and free digital literacy training. The goal is to help close the digital divide and ensure more Americans benefit from all the Internet has to offer. The program is available in Goochland County in areas where Comcast already has service. “We are sending flyers about the program home with all of our students starting today,” Tom DeWeerd, Director of Secondary Education for Goochland Public Schools, said recently. “ It’s a great program and having Internet service at home can make a difference in a

kid’s education. It’s just unfortunate that Comcast doesn’t have service throughout the entire county.” In an e-mail, DeWeerd said that about 24.5 percent of Goochland Public School students, approximately 580, qualify for free or reduced lunch. These are not numbers of families, but students. The program addresses what research has identified as the three primary barriers to broadband adoption: 1) A lack of understanding of how the Internet is relevant and useful; 2) The cost of a home computer; and 3) The cost of Internet service. “Internet Essentials is designed to help level the playing field for low-income families by connecting them to the Internet and the opportunities that it presents. The program will allow students and parents to access educational and other resources online, and receive free digital literacy training to ensure they are prepared to take full advantage of the benefits that the Internet has to offer,” said Tom

OPINION: Editorial, Letters to the Editor

November 10, 2011

www.goochlandgazette.com

Looking ahead That’s the thing to do when you lay out the paper on Election Day. We’ll resist the temptation to make any predictions and observe only that this campaign has been by far the most interesting we’ve ever covered. And although many folks have made the point that it’s the most important one in modern Goochland history and have marveled at the number of candidates that have come forward, the only thing that would have surprised us here is if incumbents were not being challenged after the series of embarrassments of the last few years in the county. Looking ahead this week draws one’s attention to Veterans Day and the program planned for Friday at Goochland High School. It should be another excellent event, as was last year’s appearance of Medal of Honor recipient Col. Van Thomas Barfoot. This year Major Kenneth A. Rowe, a B-24 Bomber pilot with the 8th Air Force flying out of Britain during WWII will be the guest of honor. The program is open to the general public and begins at 11 a.m. It seems especially appropriate to ponder the importance of the nation’s veterans these days, as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan wind down. As of this writing the current administration has announced that all troops will be leaving Iraq by the end of the year after it failed to negotiate an agreement with the Iraqi government to leave a residual force. Just getting every

one out of country, not to mention bringing home the hardware by years end would seem to be a huge undertaking. What follows in that country remains to be seen and will tell us if the loss of more than 4,000 servicemen and women has been worth the sacrifice. Today the military faces cutbacks and belt-tightening unlike anything seen since the end of the Vietnam War, the event that led to the creation of the current all volunteer force. Some observers worry that cuts that go too deep will threaten the very existence of the volunteer force in its current form. And although many think that all citizens should be asked to contribute to the defense of the nation through some form of National Service, it seems unlikely that anything similar to the draft system of the past will ever be reinstituted, barring a conflict of huge proportions. So care should be taken in this era of consolidation in the military to avoid the cuts that seem to inevitably come when an era of conflict winds down, cuts that can leave the nation unprepared for the next military challenge, which always comes. This Veterans Day, let’s vow to take care to maintain a volunteer service and a system of pay and benefits for active duty and retired military that will ensure its viability into the future. - Ken Odor

Letters to the Editor County needs to pull together after elections By the time this letter appears, the election results will be in and the political and county landscape better defined. However and wherever the dust settles certain facts will still be evident. The economic situation will not be encouraging, raising taxes will not be helped by continued erosion of our real estate tax base, and the TCSD dilemma will come to a head as will the Benedictine decision. There are some things whose future we can add value to, our

schools and our children’s future and all that flows from succeeding in this venue. As a county with deep historical roots and a sense of helping our neighbors in need, both faith based and non-denominational the way forward requires that all citizens bear a responsibility to help support our children and their educational and growth opportunities. Taxes are but one way, not a favored path these days, to make a contribution. We have a ‘rich’ citizenry and business acumen, rich in heart, skills and a willingness to contribute. Giving money is only one way to help, providing

I hope that the new Board of Supervisors and School Board, the Chamber of Commerce, parent teacher organizations and all parties willing to add value, can find a common place to optimize all the strengths that we have and enable them to focus more broadly and effectively on our community needs. We need some leaders who can unite all the valued resources in the county, not simply protecting their own special interests. Hopefully, such people will step forward. Richard Carchman Columbia

Tucker Middle School 6th-graders Morgan Canaan, left, and Logan Cunningham pick up trash last Saturday at Bryan Park. About 100 students from several schools in the Henrico Schools International Baccalaureate Program took part in the three-hour cleanup effort.

IB students clean up Bryan Park By Ken Odor jodor@goochlandgazette.com An old sofa, tires, beer and soda bottles, old shoes, even a discarded bicycle, you name it, that’s what the students from Henrico Schools’ International Baccalaureate Program found last Saturday morning when they teamed up to clean up Richmond’s Bryan Park. They met at 9:30 in the morning and worked until noon. “We’ve decided to make it at least an annual event,” said Ellie Harper IB coordinator for Tucker High School. Five Henrico schools are part of the IB program, Tucker and Henrico High School,s andTucker, Fairfield and Moody Middle Schools. Morgan Canaan, a 6th-grader from Tucker Middle School, said it was her

first time at Bryan Park. “It’s really pretty,: she said, although she and her friend Logan Cunningham agred it was chilly morning to be working outside. Tucker Middle School IB Coordinator Marie Wilcox said Harper came up with the idea to do the Bryan Park cleanup as a community service project. It’s the second time IB students have come out to police up the trash at Bryan Park, a 280-acre site that draws thousands of visitors each spring when its many azaleas are in bloom. Middle school students get community service credit in the IB program; high school students can use the hours to satisfy their community service requirements toward their high school diplomas, said Harper. Wyn Price of Richmond Parks,

Recreation and Community Facilities, said the park is grateful for the help from volunteets. “We just had the Chesapeake Bay Foundation here last month,” he said. “They found 13 tires and filled up 186 bags of trash.” Price said he wondered if there would be much for the IB volunteers to pick up, but not to worry, it turned out. “We hit the trash jackpot,’ said Harper, who said the experience was gratifying for the students. “They learn the importance of keeping the community clean,” she said. Price was just thankful to have the help. “We rely on volunteers,”he said, calculating their work was equivalent to several thousand dollars of paid labor.

Bulldogs hold off Raiders, win district Two field goals, safety enough to keep Goochland unbeaten By Weldon Bradshaw Media General News Services

How important are special teams? “On nights like this,” said Goochland coach Joe Fowler, “you cannot underestimate the value of a good kicker and a good long snapper. “We’re blessed to have several good long snappers and two good kickers. It paid off for us tonight.” On a cold Friday evening with a nasty wind whipping across the field, the Bulldogs defeated Amelia 8-6 in a classic matchup of unbeatens to claim the James River District title and the top seed in the Group A, Division 2, Eastern sectional playoffs. Goochland’s points came on field goals of 37 and 26 yards by Colby Cooke and a secondquarter safety, the result of a high snap that sailed over the head of Raiders punter Justin Evans and skidded out of the

Cross country regionals not kind Several runners turn in personal bests at Charlottesville meet By Jim Ridolphi Special Correspondent

The Goochland girls and boys cross country teams ran into some tough competition during last week’s Region B meet at Panorama Farms in Charlottesville. Despite several Goochland

runners turning in personal best performances, no Bulldog finished higher than 28th. “It was a tough race with a lot of competition,” said Goochland coach Henry Jones. “Our kids ran well-some setting their personal bests on the course--but the competition was more than we expected along with some surprise performances.” On the bright side, see Runners >page 13

points on the board to help our team means everything to me.” Purdue-bound Thomas Meadows, who holds for Cooke’s field goal attempts, averaged 42 yards on six punts. As significant as his distance was the fact that Meadows’ strong right leg kept the highoctane Amelia offense pinned deep in its own territory for much of the night. “With two great teams, we knew it would come down to special teams,” Meadows said. Playing before a packed house, Goochland (10-0, 7-0 James River, and ranked No. 2 in Group A by the Associated Press) faced a daunting prospect of stopping Amelia’s A.J. Royal, a supremely fast 5-foot9, 160-pound junior quarterback.

Royal, who scored on a 6yard run at 5:51 of the fourth period to end a 15-play, 57yard drive, completed 10 of 17 passes for 107 yards. Using their base 3-5 defense, the Bulldogs limited him to 68 yards on 26 carries and the Raiders to 88 rushing yards on 38 attempts. The home team also forced three turnovers: a fumble which set up Cooke’s first field goal, an interception (by Mason Engel) that set up the second field goal, and another fumble (recovered by Jess McLaughlin) on the Bulldogs’ 6 in the waning seconds of the game. “We made some mistakes early that came back to haunt us,” said Amelia coach Brad Bradley. “Take nothing away from Goochland. Both defenses

showed up tonight. There wasn’t a whole lot of wiggle room for either offense.” The Raiders (9-1, 6-1 and ranked third by the AP) held the Bulldogs to 80 total yards (71 rushing, 9 passing) and three first downs. “They did an amazing job playing everything we wanted to do,” said Fowler. “They were physical up front and really pushed us around. “The ball bounced our way a couple of times. Thank goodness it did.” As the top seed in the Eastern 2 bracket Goochland will host #16 seed Nottoway this Friday night at 7 p.m. in their playoff opener. A victory by the Bulldogs would bring them up against the winner of the game between #9 Central

Woodstock and #8 Windsor the following week. The Bulldogs face a possible rematch with Buckingham if they reach the third round of the playoffs.

Bulldogs overcome injuries and claim JRD title By Jim Ridolphi Special Correspondent

Despite losing two of their most valuable starters, the Goochland girls’ volleyball team persevered and captured the James River District title last week. The team advanced to regional competition where they hosted their Region B opener against Chatham on Tuesday night. The girls began the JRD tournament with a 3-0 win over Cumberland and advanced to the finals after a tough five-set match with Bluestone, 3-2. Number three seed Nottoway also made it to the finals and firmed up a regional spot. “Our first match was relatively easy, but our second match was not,” said Bulldog coach Jennifer Erixon. “It was rough because Christina (Mills) was injured during that Bluestone match. She twisted her ankle and was out the second half of that match.” Nottoway didn’t roll over for the Bulldogs, but eventually were overwhelmed by the Bulldog strong service. Goochland took a commanding lead in the first set

Runners continued from >page 12 Goochland’s young teams return the bulk of their runners for next year and Jones felt this season’s performance was a good indicator of what to expect. “Both the boys and girls teams did a great job this year, escalating beyond any training we’d done in the past,” he said. “They worked harder, put in more miles, and really came together well as a team. A lot of camaraderie brought the team together more and many really stepped up to really race against out com-

only to see the Cougars come back and tie the game at 14. Goochland closed the door and went on to record a 2516 win. The final two games were

not close with Goochland winning by 25-12 and 25-15 margins. “I couldn’t be more proud of my girls and the way they played tonight,” Erixon said.

petition this year.” The disappointing regional results should not detract from performances that deserve recognition. “Madison Venhuizen had an exceptional race, finishing 28th overall at Regions and setting a personal best on the course,” Jones said of his top girl runner. “She ran strong from the beginning, and actually beat Meghan Robinson, the James River District champion from Amelia.” Morgan Venhizen finished 56th and Sydney Pence 64th. The same held true for the boys. “Marcus Houston had a great race, also setting

a personal best and finishing 40th, running rather strong the whole race,” Jones said. Harry Talmage finished 49th. “Tucker Huffman (59th) and Scott Owens also had extremely strong performances, typically our number six and seven runners in meets.” The boys team finished 12th in the event that was won by George Mason. Strasburg, Central Woodstock and Wilson Memorial rounded out the top four teams. George Mason also won the girls team title followed by Wilson Memorial, Strasburg and Central Woodstock.

“I put two girls in places they are not comfortable playing and they adjusted and adapted quickly with no practice.” Victoria Allen stepped in on the front line and Chelsea Donaldson filled in the backcourt for the Bulldogs. Jessee Leroy and Mills will return for the regionals this week. The coach attributed the finals win to several factors. “Our serves were really strong and we only missed one serve in each of the first two games,” Erixon said. “Our aggressiveness on the serves and our incredible hustle on defense were the keys. The girls really showed up ready to play.” Nottoway coach Travis Andrews said his team couldn’t overcome the way his team began against an aggressive Bulldog squad. “We got off to a slow start

and didn’t pass well,” Andrews said. “It was just one of those nights for our team, but Goochland did a really good job also.” The Bulldogs are playing their best volleyball at the most opportune time and Erixon feels the confidence level goes up with each victory. “They’re really coming together,” she said. “As a coach it’s nice to be able to put players in different positions and know they can perform and win. I think we are peaking at just the right time. If they play the way they did tonight, I think we have a good chance in the regionals.”

Two wins in the regionals will advance the Bulldogs to the state tournament that begins Tuesday, Nov. 15. In addition to the team’s JRD title, Erixon was also named district coach of the year in her first season at the helm. “It was a total surprise to me and unexpected, but I appreciate the honor,” she said. Erixon also credited her assistant Courtney Rodgers for her contribution to this year’s success. “She’s been a tremendous help this year. It helps so much to have a second set of eyes out there.”
