New book filled with local color “Bush Hogs and Other Swine” released last month By Jim Ridolphi news@goochlandgazette.com
Robin Traywick Williams could be considered a Goochland treasure, but that local notoriety is quickly taking on a regional flair with the release of her new book, “Bush Hogs and Other Swine.” It’s her second collection of humorous, homespun essays she’s compiled in her many years as a journalist and author. The collection features its own unique flavor, a blend of country Seinfeld blended with an Erma Bombeck like insight, told from a perspective that is uniquely Robin’s. “I’ve always been drawn to the ridiculousness of everyday life,” Williams explained. “My parents taught the three of us children to laugh at ourselves, and I think that is one of the healthiest lessons a child can have,” she added. Although some of the essays could be considered homespun, most apply to events that affect everyone and their daily routines, told

with a rural spin. Author Rita Mae Brown once told Williams, “You are the country Seinfeld” and that might be the most apt description of her work. “My essays are just about the everyday things that happen to people, with a rural point of view,” she said. “Anybody can identify with my daily trials and tribulations, or those of my family, friends and neighbors: Trying to get the kinks out of the hose to water bushes during a drought, gamely trying to deal with our young daughter’s interest in a hobby that we didn’t understand, trying to get a decent family picture for the Christmas card, trying to order coffee in a foreign country (Starbucks).” She teamed up with photographer-publisher Wayne Dementi for this project, the second in a series of humorous essays.

Two Goochland girls have been selected to march in the 25th annual London NewYears Day Parade. Lindsey Ann Slone of Maidens, a member of the Marching Royal Dukes band of James Madison University, will be marching in what is the second biggest single-day event in the London calendar. According to organizers, the event attracts more than 500,000 spectators.

The JMU band’s appearance in the parade is part of a Dec. 27 – Jan.4 European tour. More than 250 of the 447 JMU band members are making the trip. “The tour is a great enrichment opportunity for our students,” said Scott Rikkers, director of the Marching Royal Dukes and assistant director of bands at JMU. “They are able to travel with their peers and friends in an extension of their college experience. see London > page 5

Tyler Muscat, a junior at Powhatan High School, earned the rank of Eagle Scout on September 21, 2010. Tyler, 16, a member of Troop 1823 chartered by Powhatan United Methodist Church achieved the rank of Eagle Scout after completing all the requirements set forth by the Boy Scouts of America. Tyler chose his Eagle Scout service project to benefit St. John’s Episcopal Church in Columbia, Virginia which his great, great, great grandparents were members and today his grandmother is a member. He, along with his fellow
scouts and under the guidance of Holman Masonry Inc. tore down a block retaining wall that was beginning to fall and replaced it with a brick retaining wall. He also replaced an outdoor light post with a new, more aesthetic pleasing light fixture. The Eagle Scout leadership project took more than a year to complete. After gaining approval for his project, fundraising had to take place, and then old man winter dumped a lot of snow on us, thus delaying the outdoor project from taking place. After playing catch-up, the contractor, Holman Masonry Inc., was able to guide and help the scouts complete this project. The I.R. Seay Electric Co.
donated time and material in guiding Tyler and the scouts in replacing the outdoor light post. Lawrenceville Brick helped speed up the fundraising by donating the bricks that were needed for the project and Mo-Johns Inc. in Cartersville helped out by donating a roll-off dumpster to help in disposing of the old block wall. After donations and raising more than $1,300, the project was estimated to be a $6,000 project with over 118 work hours. Tyler, along with his parents, Gill and Charlotte Muscat would like to thank members of Troop 1823 and all who made donations of time and money to help make this project happen.

Cruisin Chocolate and his owner, Syndi PickneyBlunk of Syn-Pic Riding School, worked very hard all show season to achieve this award for the High Score Award Adult Hunter Pleasure Horse. The competition included horses from all over Virginia. November 12 was the Championship Finals at Lexington, Virginia, where the extra points Cruiser won

He has a silly personality, yet is very talented. Syndi began his jumping career last year and he is doing very well. She plans to train him for Side Saddle riding in the near future. “Cruiser” had some Western Pleasure training just before Syndi purchased him. This training was very difficult to reverse to return him to his previous hunter training. Just this year it seems she finally won the fight of the relaxed jog and

Net farm income is forecast to be $81.6 billion in 2010, up $19.4 billion or 31 percent from 2009 and $16.7 billion more than the average of $64.8 billion in net farm income earned annually in the previous 10 years. That’s the word from the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service,
which released its forecast Nov. 30. “The mid-1970s was the last comparable period when U.S. farming enjoyed multiple years of sustained levels of high output and income,” the ERS noted on its website.

I think everybody in central Virginia is giving this book to their mother-in-law for Christmas,” Williams said. Don’t let the lighthearted style fool you. Williams’ work addresses some issues that are timely and pertinent. “What I often write about is the clash between rural life and the encroachment of urbanization. The chapter on “Keeping Goochland Rural” could be written about any small county faced with the forces of development,” Williams said.
Williams continued from > page 1 “Wayne of Dementi Milestone Publishing had been talking to me for about a year, urging me to do another collection. He convinced me the world needed a few good laughs, so I pulled the material together earlier this year,” Williams said. Earl Hamner of Walton’s fame provided the forward for Bush Hogs. Her first book, “Chivalry, Thy Name is Bubba” has also been rereleased with a new cover. “My good friend Tucker Conley, who is a talented graphic designer in Richmond, created beautiful covers for the books, using photographs of our front yard and front porch.

Coal for Congress, but good wishes to the county Our cartoon at right may mirror the feelings of many readers towards the U.S. Congress as the year comes to an end. How else to regard a body that waits until the last minute to pass a stop-gap funding measure to avoid a government shutdown, or to ratify an arms treaty with the second strongest nuclear power in the world (Russia) after an abbreviated debate hardly worthy of the name. Indeed, according to many observers, substantive action by a lame duck Congress that has just had its composition radically changed by a mid-term election is not the norm. Many have argued that weighty issues like nuclear disarmament should have been left to the new group that will take office in January, which better reflects the current mood of the voters. Not that the incoming crowd is likely to fare much better in the public’s eye than its predecessor. Approval polls for Congress now routinely produce numbers lower than they have for decades, and public confidence in the federal government as a whole seems also to be lacking. That’s probably to be expected after the travail of the last few years of recession, bailouts, stimuli and budget deficits as far as the eye can see. Republicans and the president alike have pledged to attack the budget deficit and encourage job growth, but many folks are not holding their breath, particularly when it comes to trimming spending. Locally, Goochland County’s supervisors will have no choice but to deal with revenue reality, as they do not enjoy the option of the federal government to issue seemingly unlimited amounts of debt to fund services. They will have to bite the bullet and put together a spending plan that takes into account the money coming in, just as every family in the county does. It won’t be easy but we wish them well as they tackle the task. As for county residents, after the long slog through the recession, shoppers seem to have opened their wallets a little more this year, the stock market is up and traffic was surely heavy last weekend, so maybe we’re on the way back up economically. Let’s hope so. And to all, here’s wishing everyone had a happy holiday season and can look forward to a more prosperous and happy New Year. - Ken Odor

Climate change and the weather report As I awoke early this AM in the far northwestern reaches of the county I was surprised to see and then hear that the current off again on again snow storm was on again. I don’t know about all of you but as a former scientist and current observer, how can the weather folks with all their models not even get the short term forecasts right and yet feel confident that their models for longer range 50100 years can possibly be valid? There is an old scientific adage, “man proposes and nature disposes.” In
my end of the county we suspect that there may be hubris afoot. Our hubris is organically fertilized, whereas on the other end of the county it is referred to as chutzpah ( the h is silent ...union rules). Out in the far western regions of the county, men are men and the women don’t let the men wear high heeled shoes. We are grounded in the practical realities. A recent modeler has projected that over the next decade that one in four U.S. citizens will be Elvis impersonators. I am sure that this could change as a result of the federal stimulus package. There is strong historical data that
global climate change has occurred and will most likely occur in the future, averaging about every 1,500 years. What that change will be and what we can do about is unclear to me. All the climate models are incomplete, lacking appreciation of northern hemisphere snow cover, cloud cover, volcanism etc. Hot summers, warm decades, cold snowy winters that break records, is there a trend a pattern or will we all be singing you ain’t nothing but a hound dog?

the past decade, though their year-to-year movements have not always been synchronized. This year’s projected rise in the value of crop production—16.6 percent—is expected to be more than five times the rise in the value of crop production—3.1 percent. Because farmers typically do not vary their production mix dramatically from year to year, purchases of production inputs have been relatively stable. Expenses for purchased
inputs are projected to show a moderate increase of 2.5 percent, after posting a 6.4-percent decline in 2009. That’s to be expected, said Jonah Bowles, agriculture market analyst for Virginia Farm Bureau Federation. “Anytime a producer has the ability to pay, the supplier is going to test that ability. That applies to feed, to fertilizer, to fuel, to land rent. Everybody is going to want a piece of that.”
The ERS forecasts the average U.S. family farm household income will rise by 7.8 percent in 2010 to $83,194. Both farm and off-farm income are expected to be higher than in 2009, and the average farm family is expected to derive 13 percent of its household income from farm sources. In 2009, average family farm household income was $77,169, down 3.3 percent from 2008 and 5.5 percent below the five-year average for 2005-2009.

The Chesapeake Bay is the largest estuary in North America. It is an extremely valuable natural resource of Virginia and its other surrounding states. The Chesapeake Bay is also impaired with pollution. The pollution comes from six states and the District of Columbia making up 64,000 square miles of watershed. A general term, nonpoint source pollution (NPS), is used in reference to pollution that comes from many different sources. The counties within the northern two thirds of Virginia contribute to this nonpoint source pollution of the Bay. So the Bay is being put on a pollution diet called a TMDL. TMDL is short for Total Maximum Daily Load. The total maximum daily load is the amount of pollution the Bay can withstand before there is a detrimental effect on its water quality. The Bay TMDL is specifically targeting sediment, nitrogen and phosphorus. Sediment pollution comes from any source of loose soil. Some examples of sediment sources are unstable commercial and private building sites, plowed crop fields, overgrazed pastures, non-
vegetated ditches, and any place that has infertile soil. Nitrogen and phosphorus pollution comes from failing septic systems; over application of fertilizer at home, on the farm, on the golf course and sports fields; untreated urban stormwater; cattle, horses, and goats in streams and more. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is the lead federal agency for regulating this largest ever TMDL. It is working in conjunction with
Virginia’s Department of watershed, the diet is subdiEnvironmental Quality vided down to river water(DEQ) and Department of shed levels.

Throughout 2010, there were public meetings and various opportunities for stakeholders (anyone living in the county) to have input about this plan.

New bat rule will change the game of baseball Strategy will be key as teams adapt BY CHARLIE LEFFLER cleffler@goochlandgazette.com
When baseball teams across the state of Virginia implement the new bat rule this spring, switching from BESR composite bats to BBCOR models, the increase in field safety will not be the only part of baseball to undergo change. (The increasingly potent trampoline effect of BESR composite bats, will be exchanged for BBCOR bats that reportedly maintain a consistent ball-exit speed over the life of the bat.) But with suddenly reduced power from the plate for safety reasons, one of the biggest questions is, how much it will the new bat rule affect the game of baseball itself. Some coaches are unsure if a measurable difference will be seen while others believe the new bats will possibly begin a new era of baseball. “I think from a pure science standpoint, no I don’t think it’s going to change a lot,” said Lee-Davis head baseball coach Kenny Lewis. “I think you’re talking fractions of a second from an aluminum bat and a wooden bat.” For Atlee head baseball coach Kevin Elrod the difference in bat types can be negated by player talent. “It’s not about the bat, it’s about the person,” Elrod said. “A bat’s a bat,” he added. “A kid’s going to hit a home run with a wood bat. A kid’s going to hit a home run with a composite. A kid’s going to hit a home run with a single cell.
“I’ve hit with all three recently,” he said. “I haven’t seen the ball jump off the bat with a composite bat. It’s all about how you hit it. But the VHSL has taken a stance that there is a significant difference in ball exit speeds between the two types of composite bats and therefore made the change for safety. As a result, they believe there will be a noticeable difference in the game of high school baseball this spring with the BBCOR bats. “ T h e re’s no gain i n rebound after use like there was in the old bat,” said the VHSL’s Tom Dolan. “It’s a big change. So you’re going to notice a distinct fall off in spring and travel off of the bat as a result, which I’m not saying is a bad thing, it’s just a change.” Knowing the possible change was on the horizon, Goochland High School head coach Wes Farkas began research on how the new bats will affect the game. “I’ve talked to a few coaches who’ve used them and they can kind of see the difference already,” he said. “Not as many long balls will be hit this year.” Furthermore, any change this year will continue to resonate through 2012 season when BESR aluminum bats are also outlawed in favor of the BBCOR models. “I’m interested in seeing when we go to all BBCOR, which is next year, how it’s going to change the game,” said Hanover head coach Charlie Dragum. “A lot of small ball and move the runners along.
Running bases will come into play a whole lot more. It’s simply going to change the way fields play.” Likewise, one of the baseball facilities which could suffer the most due to its size is Hanover’s. “Having a really big field to begin with, it’s going to be really taxing on our power numbers for sure,” Dragum said. “I don’t think it’s a bad thing necessarily. It will be good for pitching.” One voice of experience with the new b a t s comes from H a n o v e r County resident and VCU head baseball coach Paul Keyes. The NCAA mandated that colleges switch over to the BBCOR bats this past fall. Therefore Keyes and his Rams, which play their games at the Diamond, went through the fall season putting the BBCOR bats through real game tests. His analysis is not good news for local power hitters. “Yes, a huge difference,” Keyes said. “A very significant difference in velocity coming off the bat. “I think we hit one ball out of the Diamond all fall,” Keyes said. To get some idea of how the bats match up, Keyes took one day of batting practice to compare the full array. “We took a round with wood and the bats from last year and then this year and it’s a huge difference,” Keyes said. Though
VCU did not run any radar gun tests, Keyes believes the ball travels 7-to-10 miles slower coming off a BBCOR composite bat compared to a BESR composite. Added to the bats not being as lively, Keyes indicated their feel and action is different than what some players are used to. “The bat is a lot thinner and the sweet spot is very small,” he said. “It works very similar to wood. The weight distribution’s a little different. It’s in the center of the bat. It’s not as top heavy.”
As such, he believes the impact of switching to the BBCOR bats will be significant at all levels, college through youth baseball. “I think it’s going to change the game all the way down and that was my concern with switching to them,” he said. “You’re going to have a generation and a half of players that have played with a bat that was sort of high performance. Now, you’re going to a bat that’s sort of like wood. Swing mechanics change. How you play is changed. How you coached changes.” Therefore, Keyes feels the game of baseball will most likely take a step back in time. “It’s going to be a different style,” he said. “ I t ’s
going to be like it was in the 70’s I think, before the aluminum got going in the 80’s.” Dolan agrees. “We’re going to backtrack a little on how the game is played,” he said. Furthermore, Dolan believes schools may go so far as to change their own facilities to suit the new bat. “People are going to decide to move their fences in. It’s going to change the philosophy of the game.” However, Dolan also pointed out that dramatic changes to the game of baseball are nothing new. “This is not unusual,” he said. “It’s not abnormal. When ERA’s went down in the 60’s the height of the mound went down. So we’ve played this game before.” Dragum believes that for many local players the ability to hit the ball will not change. Most local high schools hit wood bats during the fall as do summer travel teams. “We swing wood all the time anyway so our guys will be used to it,” Dragum said. “Maybe that will help us out, who knows.” While the greatest burden may fall on coaches adapting their style to suit the new bat, they do not consider that a bad thing. “I think in some ways it may make the game better,” Farkas said. “More strategy. More small ball.” Where the impact may be most strongly felt is at the beginning levels of baseball, which is of a great concern to Keyes. “More than anything else I worry about is with the kids at the youth level,” he said. “It’s going to be harder to hit.”

Student Dana Hill and teacher Dana Kelly research ways to convert a recipe to use healthier ingredients.
A super-sized lesson in nutrition Contributed Report by Lane Burgess At Virginia Randolph Community High School, some biology students leave class with their mouths watering and stomachs rumbling; they never realized science could taste so good. Senior Dana Hill and his classmates are taking part in teacher Dana Kelly’s Nutrition Campaign. For several weeks, they’ve been learning the ingredients to better health “I don’t want to end up with diabetes or dying in my early 40s,” said Hill, who looked up from his computer while researching a healthier recipe for a glazed lemon pound cake. His classmate, Adrian Linton, made
adjustments to the recipes for some of his favorite foods—gyros, French toast, Chipotle burritos, and carrot cake. Once the students have converted the recipes, they’ll post them onto a Web site for the student body to access. Linton shared that it’s healthier to use Splenda instead of sugar, and whole-wheat flour to replace bleached flour. At the beginning of the campaign, Kelly showed the students the film “Super Size Me,” a documentary about Morgan Spurlock, a filmmaker who eats only McDonalds for 30 days; he gains 24.5 pounds in one month. “That movie was crazy,” said Hinton. “I thought he was going to die.”
Students answered questions while watching the film and afterward in an online discussion board. They posted their opinions to questions such as “Do you feel that fast-food companies should be held responsible for the obesity problem in the U.S.?” and “If you were to embark on the same experiment, which fast food restaurant would you choose and why?” Next, they evaluated food labels on some popular fast food items and cereal boxes. They analyzed calories per serving, total fat, vitamins and whether the item could be considered “junk food.” In the school cafeteria, they interviewed students and teachers about continued on page 2

school lunches, drink choices, and the cost of meals. On a field trip to the culinary arts classroom, students watched as teacher Tarran Evans cooked omelettes using egg whites, vegetables sautéed in olive oil, and reduced fat cheese and sour cream. “Converting recipes should happen more often,” says Hill. “It may taste a little different, but it’s better than having clogged arteries.” Tim Mertz, director of school nutrition services for Henrico County Public Schools, spoke to the students about making healthy choices and the options in the school cafeteria. “Mr. Mertz explained that it’s harder to make changes later in life,” said Kelly. “If you can change the way you look at food and the way you eat now, you can live a healthier lifestyle.” Lane Burgess is Editor of Henrico County Schools’ School Days Online.
Make sure you are cyber secure Contributed Report By Jason Alderman When Ben Franklin famously wrote, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure,” I’m pretty sure he wasn’t warning his readers about the perils of cyber crime. But in today’s world of phishing, shoulder-surfing and computer spyware, his advice hits home. It’s a sad reality that some people will rip you off if you give them an opportunity. Just as you take safety precautions when handling cash, so should you be vigilant when using credit or debit payment cards for purchases, whether the transaction is in person on online. Here are tips for protecting your account information and avoiding payment card scams: Prevent online intrusions. Use updated anti-virus and anti-spyware software, only download information from trusted sites and don’t click pop-up windows or suspicious links in emails. These can all be

the boxes may bind you to terms and conditions you don’t want. Track account activity. Regularly review credit card and bank statements and report any suspicious or unauthorized charges to the financial institution or card issuer. Ask whether your credit or debit card offers “zero liability,” which means you won’t be responsible for unauthorized or fraudulent purchases. Transaction alerts. Sign up for email or text message transaction alerts from your bank to keep track of purchases. These alerts are triggered when the transaction meets certain criteria you select; for example, purchases over a certain dollar amount. In addition, banks generally will contact you if they spot unusual activity, such as multiple large purchases made within a short time frame or from different geographic areas. A few other quick tips: Create strong, random passwords and change them regularly. Shield keypads from the eyes of “shoul-
tricks to install spyware, which can record your keystrokes to obtain account or other confidential information. Use secure websites. When purchasing items online, look for safety symbols such as the padlock icon in the browser’s status bar, an “s” after “http” in the URL, or the words “Secure Sockets Layer” (SSL). These are signs that the merchant is using a secure page for transmitting personal information. Protect personal information. Never provide sensitive information, such as credit card or bank account numbers, passwords, Social Security number, driver’s license, or address/phone by mail, phone or email unless you initiated the communication. Report requests for personal information to your card issuer by calling the number on the back of your card. Be wary of “free trial” offers. Take time to read and understand all terms and conditions. Pay particular attention to any pre-checked boxes in online offers before submitting an order. Failing to un-check
