Car crash kills Rockville man

By Amy Condra acondra@goochlandgazette.com

Last Sunday Justin Bumgarner was killed in a two-car accident on Rockville Road.

Bumgarner, a 22-year-old from Rockville, was driving near Saint Matthews Lane when Michael Ralph Roberts’ car allegedly crossed into the oncoming lane and hit Bumgarner’s vehicle.

Goochland deputies responded to the crash at around 10 p.m. Bumgarner was pronounced dead at the scene.

Roberts, 36, of Manakin-Sabot, was transported to MCV hospital and remains hospitalized for injuries sustained in the crash.

Roberts is charged with driving under the influence and is due to appear in Goochland General District Court on November 23.

Schools look at RIF policy

Celebrating our veterans

By Ken Odor jodor@goochlandgazette.com

Goochland School Superintendent Linda Underwood told school board members last week that schools needed to find another $205,478 they can trim from the current year’s budget.

And the school board dusted off the old Reduction in Force (RIF) policy for revision, since staff reductions are expected to be needed next year.

A woman’s journey from Wales to Goochland

By Amy Condra acondra@goochlandgazette.com

During the tumultuous years of World War II, a young Welsh girl named Mair watched as her homeland played host to thousands of young American soldiers.

“When the Americans arrived, they were everywhere,” she said. “It was fantastic!”

But when one of those Americans asked to be introduced to Mair, she was initially reluctant to grant the request. “A lady came up to me and said, ‘There is a very nice American who wants to meet you.’ I said, ‘What’s wrong with him?’”

Turns out, not a lot: Mair not only agreed to meet the man, named Ernest Conrad, she agreed to be his wife.

Mair Conrad has written a book, My Virginia Gentleman, chronicling her relationship with the man who would be her husband for 53 years.

“When my husband became ill, one of my children said, ‘Write a book,” Conrad said at the memoir’s launch party last month. She took the advice seriously, and began writing a sequel to her first work, On the Golden Stairs.

Published in 2003, that book, she says, tells the story of a young girl growing up in Wales before World War II, before her hometown of Barry became a staging area for troops in preparation for the invasion of Normandy.

“It was fascinating to me to learn about

her childhood,” said Jane Cecil, who edited Conrad’s books. “I learned a lot and it was a great pleasure to work with Mair—she has a wonderful sense of humor!”

My Virginia Gentleman picks up where that story left off, after Conrad met Ernest, a young soldier from Richmond.

After the war the young couple returned to Virginia. They eventually settled in Goochland, where they raised three children, Mary Ann Kearn, John Anthony Conrad and Ernest (Chappie) Conrad III. While in Goochland, Conrad wrote a column, “The Sabot Scene,” for The Goochland Gazette. She also founded the Snooty Fox Society, a social group named after a London restaurant.

“The club is still active today,” said Conrad. “It has a waiting list, I think!”

Photo by Amy Condra She also organized the Country Walkers, In her new book, My Virginia Gentleman, Mair Conrad tells stories of leaving Wales after World a walking group that would stroll through War I and settling in Goochland with her husband. “Mair has a wonderful grasp of life, love and the countryside near her house as Windy family,” said publisher Wayne Dementi. “This comes through in her books.”

Knoll.

Wayne Dementi of Dementi Milestone Publishing, the publisher of Conrad’s latest work, said, “Mair has a wonderful grasp of life, love and family. This comes through in her books.”

Conrad says that she enjoyed writing the books.

“It’s the best therapy you can have… you find out so many things about your family,” she said. “As long as I wrote the book, my husband was still alive.”

Farmers Market Winter Co-op opens

By Ken Odor jodor@goochlandgazette.com

Although Goochland Farmers Market has closed for the winter, shoppers who want fresh locally grown food still have a way to get it.

That’s through the Goochland Farmers Market Winter Co-op program, which began last week on Tuesday afternoon.

It works this way: Shoppers can order food items from local growers from Wednesday evening starting at 6 p.m. until Saturday at the same time.

Then they come by the Goochland Family Friendship Building at 3001 River Road West – that’s right behind the Goochland Family Services and Free Clinic building – on Tuesday afternoon between

3:30 p.m. and 6:30 to pick up their order.

“We wanted to have it on Tuesday because that’s when the Goochland Family Services volunteers are here,” said Center for Rural Culture President Denise Doetzer.

Her reason for that is that as well as ordering food for themselves, customers can also buy food from the growers and donate it to the Food

Schools continued from > page 1 tion to cut $650,000 due to a decline in revenues, school administration had identified ways to save $444,522.

But after a meeting later in the week with County Administrator Rebecca Dickson, Underwood said remaining cuts were adjusted, dropping from $205,478 to about $140,000.

To meet this goal, Underwood proposes reducing instruction spending by $128,000, administration spending by $9,000 and maintenance spending by about $3,000.

Money formerly allocated for recruitment and hiring will not be spent, nor will money planned for workshops, conferences and other professional development activities, said Underwood.

And Underwood said that writing a budget for the new fiscal year, one that begins next July, promises to be one of the most difficult tasks she has faced as an administrator.

Dickson has asked the school system to reduce next year’s budget by $2.9 million, a 15 percent reduction from the previous year.

“I’ve never had to deal with this kind of budget reduction,” said Underwood, who said there is “no doubt in my mind” that staff reductions will be necessary.

To prepare for that probability, School Board Attorney Andrea Erard presented a revised Reduction in Force (RIF) policy to the board for their consideration.

The draft of the new RIF policy has also been posted on the school system’s Web site so that school employees can see the proposed changes.

“That’s a very nasty word in times like these,” said Board Chairman Raymond Miller of the acronym “RIF”.

Erard said the goal was to

EDUCATION: School Board and Academic News

make the policy “absolutely clear and fair.”

In this difficult period, Erard said “The anxiety does not need to be compounded by ambiguity.”

The new draft policy goes so far as to use the last two digits of employees’ social security numbers, if each employee has the same length of service and performance ranking, to decide which might be laid off.

The board could approve the revised RIF policy as early as the November 24 workshop meeting.

The system has about 400 employees, about 200 of whom are teachers. Underwood said letters notifying those staff who face layoffs would likely go out at the beginning of next year.

“It’s a new experience for all of us,” said Underwood, adding that there are many things that cannot be cut.

“We have to pay the fixed costs, like heat, electricity, insurance,” she said. “What we

have to do is look at all the things we don’t have to do.”

Underwood said the goal is always to preserve the quality of instruction.

“I have a lot of hope,” she said. “We have to plan for the worst and hope for the best.”

Underwood said one posi-

tance this year, since the school system will not find out until December 18 what funds will be forthcoming from the state.

“This year accuracy is more important than ever,” said Underwood, who said her working relationship with Dickson has been excellent.

“I have a lot of hope; we have to plan for the worst and hope for the best.”

— School Superintendent Linda Underwood

tive in the process is that the new county administration has given schools some extra time to prepare their budget this time around.

Formerly due at the end of each year, Underwood said Dickson had agreed to a date of January 13 for submission of the school budget. That extra time is of critical impor-

The school board will begin hearing budget recommendations at its November 24 work session, with a public hearing scheduled for December 15. Tentative approval of the budget by the school board is planned for the January 12 meeting so that the figures can be handed over to the county administrator the next day.

Faith, and forging ahead Last week in a grand old church in Richmond, a church that now houses buckets ready to catch rainwater and a broken boiler nicknamed “Smog,” a pastor stood before a crowd and said, “I’m reminded of a quote from Mother Teresa: I know God will not give me anything I can’t handle. I just wish that He didn’t trust me so much.”

People laughed the laugh of those seeking solace from a shared sense of gloom.

These have been a tough few years. I, too, am reminded by a quote, one I think has been around so long the source isn’t cited anymore: “Cheer up, things could be worse. So I cheered up and sure enough, things got worse!”

So how do we all persevere?

Well, I think we’re learning to live the answer, if only by default.

Sometimes you persevere because you don’t have a choice.

And sometimes you persevere because you’re inspired by those who came before you, who kept getting up even when the floors were cold and the cupboards were getting perilously bare.

I may lack a few material comforts now and again, but one thing I don’t lack is boxes: I have inherited a stack of rusty footlockers. These contain photographs and diaries, medals and letter jackets, and faded cards that heralded births, marriages and deaths.

At various times, usually when I’m moving and trying to lighten my load, I’ve delved into it all. I’ve read the words and studied the pictures, and I find that I can’t bear to part with any of it.

Because I discover that those people were a pretty determined lot; those were individuals who refused to surrender to the tumultuous vexations of daily life.

During wartime the men soldiered up and the women volunteered; during peacetime they all worked long hours during the week and headed to church on Sundays. These military officers, bankers, shopkeepers, ministers, nurses, teachers and housewives never retreated into inertia.

I am a fan of Tennessee Williams’ work, and I realize that my relatives experienced what that playwright called the “cycle, often observed in life, from deepest tragedy to lightest farce.”

I also realize that their tenacity, honesty and humor kept most of them moving forward.

This week Goochland celebrated Veterans Day by honoring the men and women who have kept going in spite of adversity grimmer than the loss of daily resources; those people faced the loss of innocence, of life, and all they believed they were fighting for.

We honor those people by being inspired to get up and get on with things in our own lives.

These might be strange times for our economy, for those of us who are out of work and low of spirit.

Saying things like, “Just keep going,” and “One step in front of the other,” might seem like hackneyed advice, but these days there’s one good thing you can say about advice: It’s free!

But there’s a lot to be said, and these might be the only days we get to say it, for looking at the buckets and broken boiler, throwing up your hands with those around you, and sharing a sympathetic laugh.

Because the kind of camaraderie that makes everything crazy, make sense again, is worth sacrificing for.

Unsafe highways I live on Rockville Road in Goochland County. Last evening my neighbor’s son was killed in an automobile accident near the intersection of St. Matthews Lane and Rockville Road (Route 622). As neighbors gathered this morning to grieve, the conversation led to the number of deaths that have occurred on this 2.5 mile stretch of Goochland highway (reaching into Hanover County) in less than a decade. We believe the number to be seven, now including our neighbor.

Joy Monopoli Amy Condra Charlie Leffler Ken Odor Gloria Kirkland Stephanie Childrey Brianna Maag Cindy Grant

My note isn’t intended to bring attention to this specific tragedy, for the other individuals were just as loved and now missed. It is to have some method of messaging travelers through our community that they are on a dangerous portion of highway; an unforgiving portion of Virginia that requires extreme caution.

Many residents along Rockville Road have lived their entire lives seeing vehicles travel north and south. There was a time when each one of these cars or trucks was instantly recognized with a quick wave of

the hand followed by a short beep of the horn. That has all changed. Now the traffic has increased so much that during the morning and evening “rush hours,” you must be extremely careful when entering the highway from your driveway or simply crossing the road to check the mail box. This portion of highway has many curves and blind spots but of most importance, it has no berm. If one of your wheels drops off the paved surface, you are in real danger of losing control of your vehicle.

Humane care for horses

There are only several places where VDOT lines allow passing legally. There should be none. The posted speed limit is 45 miles per hour but on many occasions this limit is not taken seriously. To compound this thought, portions of the highway simply cannot be traveled at this limit by any type of vehicle.

We find ourselves living in a very convenient and scenic area of the county.

As we see bicycle traffic increase yearly because of our features, it should be mentioned that many drivers today lack patience when dealing with a cyclist at 20 miles per hour. The message of caution goes to all.

A small group of local concerned citizens is in the early stages of forming a group to promote the humane care of horses.

Rescuing Equines in Need or R.E.I.N, will work to establish and strengthen appropriate owner and horse relationships in order to protect horses from abuse and neglect.

R.E.I.N will work jointly with community agencies to alleviate abuse and neglect through appropriate provisions such as; education, budgeting, networking with feed suppliers and other activities in order to protect horses.

We do plan to incorporate other livestock as our G. Miller group grows.

Bulldogs’ playoff bite as tough as their bark Goochland dispatches Millbrook on Monticello field turf

BY ARTHURTHOMPSON IV sports@goochlandgazette.com

B

efore their first playoff game at the Group AA level, Goochland head football coach Joe Fowler examined the field turf at Monticello High School.

“This is how the other half lives,” he jokingly said.

Goochland was set to act as a Region II host, but their field, normally in top condition, was turned into a mud bowl courtesy of a tropical storm Danny. But unlike most of the high school games in the Central Region that were postponed last Friday night, the Bulldogs and their fans traveled approximately an hour away to Monticello High School in Charlottesville, Virginia.

The Bulldogs (10-1, 61) were the home team but they were less than hospitable shutting out the visiting Northwestern District member Millbrook Pioneers 21-0.

Goochland’s defense found it hard to corral Pioneer junior running back Jordan Hartman who rushed for a game high 149 yards. However, the Bulldogs defense bent but never broke, denying Millbrook (5-6, 1-3) their final scoring opportunity on a goal line stand in the fourth quarter to record their second straight shutout win.

“We just knew we needed a stop,” said senior defensive lineman J. D. Epps on the Bulldogs denial of a score. “When it comes down to when a team is pushing it to the point and we don’t need them to score.

We just have to find a way to dig down and give the effort to stop them.”

On the opposite side of the

field Millbrook was not able to stop the ground game of Goochland. Yet the Bulldogs’ first score came on their second possession, a 24-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Matthew Henley to wingback Dustin Plummer. It was poetic justice for Plummer whose 75yard touchdown run was called back on their opening series.

He then fumbled the ball later in the series making it the second straight week Goochland has coughed the ball up on their opening drive.

“We keep shooting ourselves in the foot and sooner or later it is going to bite us,” Fowler said. “We got to stop making mistakes like that.

Offensively we are the ones that stopped ourselves in the first half. We had a missed assignment on one play and we put the ball on the ground.

Hopefully those things we can get turned around this week in practice.”

The Bulldogs only needs to fine tune its running game.

Even though mistakes stymied some of their drives, it was evident the Goochland fourheaded running attack remains a potent weapon.

In the game, fullbacks Desmond Athey and David McKenna both scored rushing touchdowns. Fowler’s has named them “clock killers” because it allows their team to control the game and keep their opponents offense of the field for a long period of time.

“We pick up on the mistakes and we pull together,” McKenna said of his backfield mates Athey, Plummer, and Willie Ezell. “It’s all effort.

Once we get that effort in the running backs will kick in and the lineman will get their blocks and we are able to make big plays. Big plays are what it is all about.”

Millbrook did not have

a running back group like Goochland but Pioneer’s main bright spot was Hartman.

Hartman accelerated in and out of the holes created by his offensive line. Running out of the I-formation and sporting the number 22 jersey, Hartman conjured up memories of former Dallas Cowboy Emmitt Smith.

“Number 22 is a talented kid and the only way to beat talent is with effort,” said Goochland’s Epps.

Goochland travels this Saturday to Winchester, VA to face the unbeaten John Handley Judges in the regional semifinals. Handley earned a first round bye and is currently ranked 5th in the state.

However the two teams now have one common opponent- Millbrook.

Also a member of the Northwestern District, Handley handed Millbrook a 15-7 home loss on October 30.

Ben Verlander: different shoes, but walking a familiar path Goochland baseball player signs with ODU

BY CHARLIE LEFFLER cleffler@goochlandgazette.com

L

there was more than ample motivation for Ben to step free of his sibling’s shadow to take a baseball journey in a different direction. However Ben opted otherwise. “There’s always those thoughts, but it wasn’t really important to me,” Ben said. “The only thing that’s really important is my future, how I progress the best and how I think I fit in.”

Therefore, Ben’s col-

ast Wednesday, Goochland senior baseball player Ben Verlander signed a letter of intent to continue his athletic career at Old Dominion University.

And while Verlander opted to follow the path once blazed by his older “The only thing that’s brother Justin, it was really important is my not because he chose to future, how I progress stand in the shoes or walk the best and how I in the footsteps of the think I fit in.”

Goochland legend.

After a year such as BEN VERLANDER Justin had this past season Goochland baseball player with the Detroit Tigers, the name Verlander would have opened the door at virtually any university in lege decision was not based the country. And following upon avoiding Justin’s path years of being called Justin but rather embracing one of Verlander’s younger brother, his own choosing. Verlander

Goochlander signs with Clemson

Submitted by Alex Campbell

Tappahannock, Va.— Meghan Sisk of Goochland, daughter of Mark and Jane Sisk signed her letter of intent to Clemson University on Nov. 12. Sisk—a five-year boarding student at St. Margaret’s in Tappahannock, VA—will coxswain for Clemson’s Division I Rowing Program.

Sisk did not take up the sport of Crew until her junior year at St. Margaret’s. “This is a great honor and really speaks to her athleticism” says Varsity Crew coach Maren LaLiberty who had been recruiting Meghan

chose ODU not to serve as a constant reminder of his brother’s legacy but rather because it was where he himself felt his future as a baseball player would be best served. “I just feel like this is the best fit for me,” he said.

“They were very much interested in me from the start,” Ben said. “I really like the program and everything. I just felt like that was the right decision to make.”

And while Justin is happy with his younger brother’s college choice, their father Richard said his oldest son went to great lengths not to influence the decision. “Oh he’s very excited for him,” Richard said of Justin, “and he’s kept an arm’s length because he wants Ben to be his own guy and make his own way.”

Furthermore, while Ben could have attended nearly any school in the country, there was no indications that he would ever be anything more than someone with a famous last name on the roster. “You don’t want to go someplace where you might get lost in the shuffle,” Richard said. “You really want to go somewhere, where they really want you.”

And that was just what ODU displayed from the moment recruiting began.

The Verlanders were excited by how much interest the school showed, making him the first player they approached for their 2010 freshman class. “You can really tell when somebody says, ‘Hey, you’re going to be our player,’” Richard said. “We felt that way and I think Ben felt that way.”

More importantly, Richard said ODU was approaching his youngest son because he was Ben, not just Justin’s younger brother. The ODU coaches told Ben; “We like you

Last week Goochland pitcher Ben Verlander, center, signed a letter of intent to continue his baseball career at Old Dominion University. Verlander attributes his talent to the coaches he has had over the years including, from left; Terry Goldman, Patrick Gordon, Dan Summitt, Bryan Gordon and Wes Farkas. Ben also attributes his success to the influences of coaches Chris Gerrity, Bruce Secrest, Ronny Adkins and Andrew Slater, not pictured.

for who you are, the player you are, the person you are, this has nothing to do with Justin.” Richard said. “I think that meant something to Ben because that’s a pretty big shadow to be in.”

Furthermore, there is little resemblance between the ODU of Justin’s time with the school and the one Ben will play at next season. “The school’s changed so much,” Richard said. “They’ve made so many improvements.”

“The campus has improved ten times as much as when Justin went there,” Ben said.

“I just feel like it’s a good fit for me.”

Most notable from a baseball standpoint is that Ben will play for an entirely different coaching staff now under the leadership of Coach Jerry Meyers. Meyers took over the

ODU program six years ago.

At ODU Verlander will join a pair of former teammates from the Richmond Baseball Academy, Austin McGowan from James River High School and Drew Coker from the Steward School.

Verlander plans to both pitch and play third base at ODU. “They told me that one of the third basemen, he was supposed to get drafted this year and they were supposed to get a two-year college guy to come in and play,” he said.

“I’ll be coming in as a freshman and no third baseman there. So I’ll get a pretty good chance to play.”

Though an honor student, Ben has get to make a decision on what subjects he will pursue in college. “Baseball is what I’m going for and I’ll figure out stuff after I get there,”

he said.

With their youngest child making preparations to leave home for college, both of Ben’s parents said they will need time to adjust. “I don’t really even want to talk about it,” said Kathy Verlander. “He knows it’s going to be tough on me because it was hard when my oldest (Justin) left.

So I know it’s going to be really difficult.”

“Our life has been our boys for 20-something years now, so it’s going to be different,” Richard said. “It’s going to be tough.”

For the time being, for her own desires Kathy hopes the Goochland baseball team makes a long push into the post-season so Ben will be around longer. “I think that’s a good idea,” she said. “I’m all for selfish, that’s fine.”

Tuckahoe celebrates Veterans Day

By Ken Odor Media General Staff Writer “It’s one of our more formal assemblies,” said Tuckahoe Elementary School principal Cindy Patterson last Friday, as the school held two assemblies in honor of Veterans Day. Patterson said there were so many events scheduled for Nov. 11, that the school decided to have its program later in the week.

Patterson, whose husband is a 24year U.S. Navy and Naval Reserve veteran, urged the veterans present to keep on coming to the assemblies even after their children or grandchil-

dren have graduated from Tuckahoe.

“You are still part of the family after your fifth-grader graduates,” she said.

In an hour and fifteen-minute long assembly, students in third through fifth grade honored about 45 veterans with ties to the school, about the same number who were guests at the earlier assembly for the younger students.

On stage a banner stretched from one side to the other with the theme of the assembly –“You’ve Made a Difference in Our Lives”.

Four students performed a skit

where they wore uniforms that their fathers or grandfathers wore when they were in the service.

Bailey Shover wore her grandfather’s Navy uniform for the skit.

Eighty-three year old Navy veteran Henry T. McBride said he served from 1944 to 1946.

“I volunteered when I was 17 years old,” he recalled. “I came in on the tail end of the war.”

During the program each veteran who attended was individually recognized, along with their family memcontinued on page 2

Tuckahoe honors GOOCHLAND SELF-STORAGE veterans

Advocate General who started his career as an enlisted man during the Korean War era, got his uniform in the closet and found it still fit him.

“Just barely,” admitted Phillips, whose two granddaughters, Molly and Clair go to Tuckahoe.

Highlight of the program was an appearance by retired attorney William Young, who portrayed Gen. Douglas MacArthur, famous for his critical roles in World War II and Korea.

With lines drawn from MacArthur’s farewell speech to the U.S. Congress after he was recalled from Korea from President Truman, Young evoked the sense of duty, the most

“Our soldiers teach us about the sacrifice,” said Young.

The program was paced with a variety of student speakers and music, both recorded and performed by the Fifth Grade Chorus and soloists.

Tucker High School’s ROTC Color Guard presented the colors to begin the program.

All joined in toward the end of the assembly for a rousing rendition of what has become a perennial favorite at such gatherings, Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the U.S.A.”
