Norman B. Sales is set to take over as Goochland’s next county attorney. He will be the newest addition to an administration that has replaced several key positions, including county administrator and utilities director, since mismanagement was discovered in the utilities department last winter. At their meeting last Tuesday, Goochland’s Board of Supervisors voted unanimously to approve Sales’ appointment. Sales will replace Andrew R. McRoberts, who resigned from the role last May after serving for eight years. The board also voted to extend the contract of former Hanover deputy county attorney Barbara M. Rose, who has served as interim county attorney since McRoberts’ departure, until Sales comes to Goochland on January 18. Sales, who graduated from the Marshall-Wythe School of Law at College of William and Mary, has 27 years of legal experience, 20 of those in local government law. From 2005-2009, Sales served as Richmond’s city attorney. Chairman of the Board Andrew Pryor said that Sales, who will not be required to live in the county, is retiring from that job Dec. 31. “I think we’ve found an excellent candidate,” said Supervisor William E. Quarles. “He has the experience, he’s worked in the big city and saw all types of things see BOS> page 3

Residents question cuts to school budget By Ken Odor jodor@goochlandgazette.com
Goochland School Board members got an earful at a special meeting last Tuesday night, as most speakers pled with them not to cut academic programs. Faced with an expected $2.9 million reduction in funding from the county and an undetermined state contribution to the school budget, Goochland School Superintendent Linda Underwood outlined possible cuts that would trim only about $1.9 million from the 2010 fiscal budget. Staggered school opening times, closing the gifted center and job eliminations were presented to a packed audience in the conference room at the school board offices. County Administrator Rebecca Dickson and Assistant County Administrator Paul Drumright also attended. Underwood stressed that the measures presented were under consideration, but no decisions have been made. In two public comment periods, speakers repeatedly asked that programs for the gifted not be changed. “These are the county’s best and brightest,” said Kristin
McNaron. “If you dampen their enthusiasm you will lose it forever.” The staggered school opening times, designed to allow deferring the purchase of eight new school buses for a savings of $640,000, also did not go over well. That proposal would have elementary school students catching their buses as early as 6:30 a.m. for classes starting at 7:30 a.m. High school and middle school students would start school at 9:30 a.m. Fifteen bus driver jobs could be eliminated. Several speakers questioned why there were not more proposed cuts in administration. “Where are the cuts in administration,” asked Jody Hoskins. “How many in central office will lose jobs and take cuts?” Underwood’s set of proposals involve about $18,000 in cuts, but no reduction in the number of positions in administration. But in instruction, 12 teachers are proposed to be laid off, including two special education teachers, four elementary school teachers, two middle school teachers and two high school teachers. Frustrated parents offered an array of alternatives. Jane Christie said her family

idea of an across-the-board 10 percent temporary pay cut for school system employees, as a means to save jobs. Asked where the additional $1.5 million in requested cuts might come from, School Board Chairman Raymond Miller of District 2 reminded those present that board members were elected officials responsible to their constituents. “We are elected officials. We represent you. It is our job to take to the supervisors what you demand of us. It is not our obligation to take to them what they demand of us,” said Miller. A public hearing on the budget will be held December 15, with the school board scheduled to vote on a proposed budget January 12.

concerns about proposed cuts, including teaching positions and the gifted center, to next year’s budget.

law enforcement in the Capitol Complex in Richmond. The agency also provides security for the governor and his family when they are at home in the Governor’s Mansion, provides security for the lieutenant governor, the attorney general, Virginia Supreme Court justices and members of the state legislature.

Police traces its origin back to 1618, when it was organized to protect the Colonial Governor in Jamestown. “It’s such a unique police department,” said Herrera, 47. “There’s none other like in the country.” The division is also unique in that it reports to the legislative branch. Their boss is current Speaker of the House of Delegates William Howell. Ernie O’Boyle, a retired Department of Criminal Justice Services agent who now works for the division, explained some of the other interesting aspects of the Capitol Police. “We have a resident population of five people and a dog – the governor and his family,” said O’Boyle. But when the General Assembly is in session, that population can swell in the daytime to six to eight thousand people on the grounds, he said. “And we’ve never written a speeding ticket,” added O’Boyle. O’Boyle has been working with Herrera and thinks she is an ideal choice for her new job as Accreditation Manager. Herrera grew up near
Watkinsville, Georgia (“I’m still a Bulldogs fan.”) but move to the Richmond area with her mother and two sisters when she was 15. She worked in the medical field as a nursing assistant for 15 years after graduating from George Wythe High School in 1980. Herrera met and married Richmond Police officer Jose Herrera and stayed at home with the couple’s three children, but her interest shifted from nursing to law enforcement. She obtained her Associates Degree Administration of Justice from J.S. Reynolds and began work for the Capitol Police in 2000. She is currently working on a bachelor’s degree in business administration from Averett University. In her new position Herrera will be responsible for preparing the division to pass the accreditation process of the Virginia Law Enforcement Professional Standards Commission (VLEPSC). A mock assessment took place on December 1, with inspectors scheduled to be back on site January 3 – 5 for the official assessment.

Sgt. Rebecca Herrera is heading up the effort to gain accreditation for the Capitol Police.
The December 1 visit went well, said Herrera. “We have a few things to work on but they are fairly minor. We’re going to be okay,” she predicted. Herrera appears undaunted by the project at hand, which involves successfully meeting 180 standards set by the Department of Criminal Justice Services. Herrera and O’Boyle said a
lot of the preparation has already been done. “Let’s face it, citizens expect this,” said O’Boyle of the accreditation process. Herrera credited mother, who lives with the family and her best friend Regina Hamlor with helping her achieve her goals. “Without the two of them none of this would have been possible,” she said.

Questioning the fund balance Goochland County continues to seek transparency. Several months ago the county began posting its check registers online so that citizens can see how resources are being spent. Budget documents and meeting minutes from years past are also on the county’s Web site, and public hearings are ideally set throughout the budgeting process so that residents can ask questions. One question asked at last week’s Board of Supervisors meeting was, “Does the county have a rainy day fund?” I have heard this question raised since I came to Goochland a few years ago. County Administrator Rebecca Dickson has answered it several times recently, both at last week’s meeting and at the BOS meeting last month. Dickson said that a fund balance, sometimes known as a “rainy day fund,” is money that is set aside for two reasons: First, so that the county can meet its cash flow requirements throughout the year; and two, as a measure by which to judge the financial viability of the county. Fund balance information can be used by municipal bond analysts, taxpayer associations and oversight organizations to determine a government’s fiscal viability. Hanover County, for example, maintains a fund balance that represents a 10 percent minimum of its general fund’s total revenues. Hanover County also maintains a “Fund Balance and Net Assets Policy.” Such a policy would be helpful here in Goochland, where it can be difficult to understand exactly what is in our fund balance. It can be even harder to understand how that fund balance is used— or who decides how it should be used. Dickson said last month that the county’s fund balance is about $14.4 million, or 27 percent. Is that 27 percent is of our general fund’s total revenues? And if so, doesn’t 27 percent seem to be well more than enough to provide fiscal security and viability for the county? Do we maintain a minimum, or a maximum, amount of money in our general fund, and if so, how and why is that figure determined? And by who? What are our fund balance definitions? Are fund balances restricted, committed, and/or assigned? By, or to, what? I don’t know, because I have never seen a written explanation of Goochland County’s fund balance plan. But I think this would be a good time to ask for one. - Amy Condra

began discussions about combining their organizations to provide for the more efficient delivery of health and family services to Goochland residents in need.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Thursday
December 10, 2009 non-profits and businesses, GFCFS has successfully pursued its mission of providing health care and basic human services to our neighbors who struggle with unemployment and lack of health insurance. 2009 has been a banner year for GFCFS. We adopted a strategic plan. We became one of only 10 free clinics in Virginia to be accredited by the Virginia Association of Free Clinics. We were the beneficiary of the Richmond Symphony event in November sponsored by the Goochland Rotary which netted more money for GFCFS than the polo event in 2008. It was certainly not a year where “wrong and destructive decisions for Goochland” were made. The leadership and staff are proud of what we do for the community.
Letter continued from > page 6 and volunteer time. It was determined that in order for GFCFS to dedicate the resources necessary to make polo successful, certain expenses needed to be reduced, particularly in light of the economic environment and the uncertainty about the level of sponsor support. When reductions in costs could not be achieved, GFCFS decided to forego the polo event for 2009 and focus on its core programs and rely upon other types of fundraisers, which decision proved to be correct. In 2009, demand for services GFCFS has increased by over 43 percent , approximately 110 families visit our Food Pantry weekly, medical appointments are up 38 percent and dental visits up 45 percent.

GHS dives into new league with a new coach Interest in Bulldog swimming continues to exceed capacity BY CHARLIE LEFFLER cleffler@goochlandgazette.com
W
ith the winter sports season, the Goochland swim teams will have to adapt to a variety of changes. The school’s transition to Group AA play means the Bulldogs will now swim against Jefferson District foes as well as their usual slate of some of the top Richmond area schools. But the most immediate change for Goochland is the swimmers need to adapt to a new set of coaches. This year Grace Creasey takes over as head coach replacing Coach Dardi Ritchie. In her first year at the helm Creasey is enthusiastic about the potential of both boys and girls squads. “Coaching this team has been a wonderful experience,” she said. “We have a lot of great swimmers.” Mary Kay Dinger, who teaches at Randolph, serves as the teams’ assistant coach. For Creasey, her first challenge was getting the swimmers back in the water. “We have been working hard, as it is early in the season, just getting the swimmers back in shape to be able to build up to where we need to be to be for
competition.” However, one thing that has not changed is the interest swimmers have shown in joining the Goochland team. As in the past, Creasey had more swimmers than room in the water. “We actually had 45 try out for the team and (I) had to make cuts based on space issues,” she said. “The YMCA graciously gives us space at their facility to practice but we can only use four of their six lanes to practice in due to member needs.” The teams return 14 swimmers from last year’s group while adding 16 newcomers. Among the Bulldogs’ top returning swimmers are seniors Joe Stratton, Kevin Eliason, James Connor and Jacob Melton along with sophomore Johnny Trongone, all of whom went to the Group A state meet last year. Stratton swam the 100 fly at the state meet while Eliason was a member of the 400 freestyle relay team. Connor, Trongone and Melton served as alternates for the relay teams. Melton was also last season’s most improved swimmer. Multi-sport athlete senior Rick O’Connell was also a member of the state relay team but has yet to decide if he will continue to swim this season. “I think we will see strong returns on our boys’ 100 free event as we have a lot of good freestylers,” Creasey said. “We should also see great suc-

cess with the girls 100 breast as we are seeing quite a bit of progress in that event.” The girls’ team will rely on the strength of juniors Anna Jones, Kelsey Lumpkins and Samantha Williams. The two squads
face an early-season challenge this Saturday at the Fort Union Invitational where they will swim against nine other teams that are in the Jefferson District. “We will get a good idea early on in the season of what our competition looks like,” Creasey said. “Our competition will be tough this year as it is our first in a new district,” Creasey said. “Getting used to new teams will be challenging but one that I think we are definitely
prepared to take on.” But Creaseys’ plans for the Bulldogs go far beyond this season. “I expect great things out of our team this year as we have brought on so many new swimmers,” she said. “We have high hopes of building our
team so that we can become stronger and stronger with each season.” This past weekend the teams dove into the season against some top local competition.

Fluco sister act sinks Lady Bulldogs in opener Goochland drops opener to Fluvanna, 68-37 BY JIM RIDOLPHI sports@goochlandgazette.com
T
he Goochland girls’ basketball team got an up close look at the Jefferson District’s best as Fluvanna came calling for the first game of the year last Thursday night. While the home team kept it close for the first half, the Flucos flexed their muscles after intermission and notched a 68-37 district win against the Bulldogs. “I thought we played well in the first half, but they ran away from us in the second half,” Goochland coach Sarah Nicholson said. “They are a great team and I have to believe they are in the top two teams in the district.” In the contest, the Flucos used their signature transition game to pull away from the Bulldogs. “That’s our game and we pride ourselves on being able to get the easy basket,” Fluvanna coach Chad White said. The fast paced offense was boosted by double-digit performances from the team’s sister act, Mia and K-anna Loyd. Mia finished with 22 points while older sister K-anna scored 21. After falling behind 113, the Bulldogs clawed their way back and made it close in the first period 14-8, but they couldn’t stop the Flucos’ transition game. “They were really looking to push the ball up the court and we just didn’t get back,” Nicholson said. The Loyd sisters began hitting their mark in the second quarter, but a stubborn Goochland squad did not

allow the Flucos to pull away, and the visitors maintained the same 8-point margin at halftime, 27-19. “We missed some opportunities in the first half but it looked like we didn’t have our legs under us and they did a good job,” White said. “Goochland made us work for everything we got tonight.” However, during the second half, the Flucos wore down the Goochland defense and the Loyd sisters did the rest, each finishing with over 20 points. “They make my job a lot easier,” White said after the game. “They put in the work in practice and they are two of our leaders on the court. “The girls executed the game plan and that’s all a
coach can ask for,” White said. “Sometimes it takes us a while to get going, but once we do, it works well.” Nicholson said the Flucos depth was really evident in the second half. “They are deeper than us and it showed,” she said. “We only rotate about seven girls in so they took advantage of that.” Despite the opening season loss, Nicholson said she noted some positives in her team’s performance. “The final score really didn’t indicate how well we played in the first half,” the coach said. “I saw a lot of positive things coming off of last season. I told the girls this was no reason to hang their heads because of the improvement.” Amara Ezell and Tamara

By Ken Odor Media General News Service Dorothy Marrion and her husband Dennis stopped by the Glen Allen Library last Friday. It wasn’t open, but no matter, the Henrico County Library system’s Bookmobile was in the parking lot filling in for the
library, which is undergoing an extensive renovation. The Bookmobile comes by once every two weeks, so that patrons who live nearby still have library service. “I look for the bestsellers,” said Dorothy, who added she hoped that the Glen Allen branch would retain that same cozy feeling after

the renovation and expansion is complete. “I just hope they are not going to make it too big,” she said. Dennis was on the lookout for some more books by Jeffrey Archer, one of his favorite authors. continued on page 2

Bookmobile keeps Glen Allen readers happy continued from front page
Coming to the library is a big deal to the Marrions, said Dorothy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s our social life. We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t party,â&#x20AC;? she laughed. Librarian Phil Ford, who works the Bookmobile fulltime, said the folks who uses are hard core readers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The people we see here come because they really want to read,â&#x20AC;? he said. Ford, who was assisted by Saran Marfiak, a library assistant at Glen Allen who splits her time between the Fairfield Branch and the Bookmobile. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve all been farmed out to other branches during the renovation,â&#x20AC;? she said. The Glen Allen branch is expected to reopen in the fall of 2010. Meanwhile, library goers are invited to visit other nearby branches, but some show a real loyalty to their
local branch, as did one woman, who said sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d rather come to the Bookmobile than use the other branches. But the increase in population of the area since the Glen Allen branch was built in 1995 and the new high school planned for the area dictated that the library needed not only renovation, but expansion to meet the needs of the area, said Ford. Ford said the Bookmobile carries about 2,000 volumes as it criss crosses the county each week from east end to west end. A new vehicle is in the works sometime in the near future, he said. Books checked out from the Bookmobile can be returned at any Henrico branch. To find out more about the Henrico County Public Library system, visit their Web site at www.henricolibrary.org
