GCPS budget includes raise for teachers, new positions

By Roslyn Ryan Editor

This year’s budget could bring welcome news to employees of Goochland County Schools, including a pay raise of at least 3 percent if the plan is approved. The pay increase was one of several key items in the budget Goochland County School Superintendent Dr. Jeremy Raley presented to the Goochland County School Board on Jan. 28. “The initiatives outlined in this proposed budget align with our division’s strategic plan and are aimed at maintaining our position as a model of excellence in the Commonwealth,” said Raley, adding that the plan is aimed at helping the school division “to retain the incredibly talented professionals we currently have and to attract exceptional candidates when vacancies occur.” The proposed budget includes a total of see Budget > 5

Internal Integrity Most Important

1 Timothy 6:10 â&#x20AC;&#x153;For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.â&#x20AC;? Are you listening? To maintain personal or societal integrity one must trust and obey God, not things. Isaiah spoke to a nation in his day (700 BC) that was militarily strong, economically prosperous, very religious, and with good strong leaders â&#x20AC;&#x201C; yet was coming under Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s judgment because of internal sin. Isaiah 1 is a wake-up call to any nation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Make sure that your character is free from the love of moneyâ&#x20AC;Śâ&#x20AC;? (Hebrews 13:5). Love of money compromises security.

The sale is financed with an affordable, no-interest 30-year mortgage. Mortgage payments are then recycled to build more homes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many people have the misconception that the homes built by Habitat of Goochland are given away,â&#x20AC;? said TaylorSmith. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In fact, our homeowners make a down payment, pay a monthly mortgage and work alongside our volunteers to complete â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sweat equityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; hours during the construction phase,â&#x20AC;? she adds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ideal applicant(s) should not only have a housing need but the financial and personal capacity to be a homeowner.â&#x20AC;?

OPINION: Editorial, Letters to the Editor

For teachers, support from leaders is priceless By Roslyn Ryan Editor

Just for the record, I have never been a teacher. I have had a lot of teachers over the years, of course, including several who changed my life in the most wonderful and unexpected ways. I also was raised by a teacher, and eventually married one, and have had many, many friends who chose to make teaching their life’s work. So I think, perhaps, that I have learned at least a tiny bit over the years about what teachers need when it comes to job satisfaction. Yes, they need money —that’s a given — and the proposed budget that Goochland School Superintendent Dr. Jeremy Raley shared last week, which features a proposed 3 percent raise for all

employees who achieve a rating of proficient or better on their end-ofthe-year evaluation, is definitely a step in the right direction. I also would point out, however, that in all my years of spending time with my husband’s colleagues, interviewing teachers for stories, and hanging out with friends who were educators, it was rarely the salary that they talked about. After all, most people I know who went into education seemed to accept that they were never going to wheel into the teachers’ parking lot in a Bentley. Even the notoriously long work days teachers face never appeared to sour anyone I knew on the profession. No, in fact, the one unmet need I heard most often from nearly every teacher I met came down to just one

word: support. Salary increases are fantastic and certainly appreciated, but in the end they may not be as important as a leadership team that stands behind its teachers and supports them through thick and thin. Show me a school where teachers feel safe, where they feel respected, where they feel as though their concerns are addressed and their time valued, and I’ll show you a group of professionals whose job satisfaction ratings are sky-high. Just about every teacher I have ever met went into the profession because they wanted to help children and impact lives, not for the money or prestige. But teachers today are often carrying burdens that can take a tremendous toll, up to and including having to be the de facto “parent” for students who

are not given adequate discipline or emotional support at home. What they need more than anything is an administration willing to go to bat for them. In the relatively brief time I have been acquainted with Goochland’s school division, it would appear that the leadership has always attempted to put teachers first, and to give them the support they need to succeed. This is as it should be, and the results clearly translate directly into the classroom. You want a strong school system? Hire the right people. You want to keep the right people? Make sure they know you’ve got their back. It may not be a line item in the budget, but its impact cannot be denied.

Palms still sway in memory, years after last visit to paradise By Jim Ridolphi Contributing Columnist

Daphne Du Maurier once wrote, “We can never go back again, that much is certain.” The obscure quote immediately jars memories of the places, people or things to which I’ve pledged a return, a promise mostly unfulfilled as a lifetime passed and presented new challenges.

How many times have you been in the perfect spot on the perfect vacation and thought to yourself “I’d like to return to this place someday’. At the moment of utterance, it seemed impossible that you could live decades and not return to that location that provided respite, peace, tranquility that represented an escape from the rigors of everyday life. In actuality, most of these expe-

riences are one offs, and a second trip to your most beloved spots or moments is usually more akin to a dream, or a slot on the proverbial bucket list. So, given the opportunity, what place or time would you revisit if given the opportunity? Can you remember that one moment, or day, that captured perfection and filled one with a joy or tranquility that for the years that followed,

seemed illusive or lost. Most of those memories for me involve years past when the Florida Keys provided that lost sense of paradise for me and many others who made the trek down the Overseas Highway.

Letters to the Editor “Self-righteousness” is among the greatest problems that we face Dear Editor, I recently read the editorial in the Gazette lamenting those who often campaign for no abortions but offer little or no support for those living among us that are in severe need of our assistance and support. I congratulate the author in exposing this hypocrisy and selfrighteousness particularly, when ridicule can be so harsh. It came to mind that a quick look on the internet for a definition of self-righteousness would be beneficial. This is what Google said: “Self-righteous means “having or characterized by a certainty, especially an unfounded one, that one is totally correct or morally superior. Self-righteousness is accompanied by “indignation and complacency.” Then it went on quote Jeremy Affeldt, lecturer and former pitcher with the three-time World Series Champion San Francisco Giants: “The Bible describes the Sadducees as pretty self-righteous. Not “holy and righteous,” but “self-righteous.” The Sadducees believed they were holy and righteous, because they were very strict about keeping the law. As a result, they came across as self-righteous, because they judged others by their works.” We have become overwhelmed at our highest political and religious levels by those who are selfrighteous, who deny the truth, who lie and foster the same, who support prejudice and bigotry and encourage fear and hatred so that they can continue to accumulate vast power and personal wealth, and the foolish blindly follow. Someday, we may discover again that universal grace and mercy can overcome the darkness we seem to be fostering. George R Peterson Goochland

Bulldogs win 5th annual Ballin’ 4 a Cure game Goochland routs Nottoway 65-39 By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

Both teams linked arms together in one circle in the center of Goochland High School’s gymnasium. Coaches and players from both the Goochland and Nottoway boys basketball units wore colors symbolic of the kinds of cancers that have affected their lives in one way or another. A game was then played. And a loss was avenged – Goochland came back from narrowly falling to Nottoway 62-61 on Monday to defeat the Cougars that Friday, 65-39. But for head coach Preston Gordon and his Goochland Bulldogs boys basketball team, their fifth annual Ballin’ 4 a Cure benefit was about more than the game’s result. “Basketball tonight was a platform. It was an opportunity for us as a basketball team and us as players and coaches, managers, cheerleaders, band members – just as a community – to let everyone know that we’ve been touched by this awful disease that has affected so many families, but also [that] there have been families that have beaten cancer. There are survivors that want to tell their story,” Gordon said. “It’s just tough that it needs to be this way, but at the same time, the more that we can spread the word and get it out there, hopefully people will get checked. “Everybody might think that we live in a rich county, but there’s plenty of houses that don’t have running water and don’t have heat...a lot of times those are the individuals that maybe don’t have the financial assistance to go see the doctor on a regular basis. We need to step up and help out our neighbors and help out our community members.” When the teams were together before the game, Gordon told them that it’s going to be up to those young individuals to make sure their parents and grandparents are going

to the doctor and getting checked regularly. “A lot of older folks, they just don’t like to go to the doctor, and sometimes you see signs and you see some health going down, and if people will go to the doctor early, a lot of this can possibly be prevented,” Gordon said. “But it’s also just having the initiative to talk to your parents and talk to your grandparents about their health.” Cancer has impacted the lives of those within the Goochland basketball program. Former player and Goochland High School Class of 2017 alum Jack Twombly lost his mother to pancreatic cancer, Goochland coach AJ Nash lost his mother to lung cancer and Gordon found out that his dad had prostate cancer. Over the last four years, funds raised by Goochland High School’s Ballin’ 4 a Cure games have gone towards research for lung cancer and pancreatic cancer, to the Fire Fighter Cancer Foundation as part of Class of 2018 graduate Finley

Miers’ senior project and to St. Jude’s Research Hospital when Class of 2019 graduate Katie Waller, who lost her sister Samantha to brain cancer, took the benefit game as her senior project. The benefit has raised about $8,500 in that four-year span. This year, the proceeds from Friday’s fundraising event were marked to be split between research for prostate cancer and leukemia in honor of Agricultural Science teacher Danny Allen’s father, who is fighting prostate cancer, and mathematics teacher Scottie O’Neill’s father, who is fighting a form of leukemia.

Bouncing back from Monday’s loss After Quincy Snead took a pass from Goochland teammate Jack Hoffler and turned it into a go-ahead 3-pointer for an early 10-7 lead, the Bulldogs seized command of Friday’s game with a 6-0 burst, sparked by three takeaways, and never let it go. The first takeaway came right

on the heels of a steal made by Nottoway’s Willie Lawson. Snead took the ball right back from him on the defensive side, flipped the ball behind his back as he dribbled it down the left sideline and dished the

assist to junior Kameron Holman, who flew up and put the ball through the hoop as a defender rose up to pressure him. Holman and Snead

Goochland honors seniors By Nick Vandeloecht Sports Editor

GOOCHLAND - With the team score firmly entrenched in Powhatan’s favor, Goochland senior Connor Duncan’s sole goal was to go out and get his individual win on Senior Night. The second team all-state offensive lineman in football was facing a first team all-region tight end in Micah Holt in the 220pound match of Wednesday’s dual, and Duncan’s head wrestling coach Mike Nadder figured that Holt had the advantage in wrestling experience. But Duncan, grabbing an early 2-0 lead on a reversal, stayed tough on top through the first two periods. And then, in the third, he delivered a crucial takedown that gave him insurance against Holt’s follow-up reversal and escape to tighten the match. Duncan grabbed an escape to lead 5-3 late in the third period, but Holt at that point could still tie the match and force overtime. Facing Duncan from the neutral stance with less than 10 seconds remaining in regulation, Holt

took a shot, and Duncan took advantage to swing around and get on top of Holt, cementing his win by decision with his lastsecond reversal for a 7-3 score. “I can’t say enough about him,” Nadder said of Duncan. “He is so inexperienced, but the way he’s wrestling, every match, he gets better and better, and it was obvious that his opponent had a lot more experience than him, but he has just really impressed us as coaches, how far he’s come along in such a short time. I feel like he’s got a good shot at the regional tournament to place high and possibly get to the state tournament, depends on what draw he might get.” Duncan joined teammate

John Summitt (120 pounds) in securing contested victories for Goochland, who overall lost the dual to Powhatan 58-15. Summitt wrestled aggressively and needed just 36 seconds to pin his Powhatan opponent. Despite the loss, Nadder was proud of how his Bulldogs wrestled against Powhatan. Goochland still had some wrestlers who were dealing with sickness. That was the case for Alex Thompson (182), who wrestled Powhatan’s Hayden Fitzsimmons but lost by pin in the first period. “He had a tough match tonight, and he wasn’t pleased with himself, but I was proud that

each took away a Nottoway possession after that, and 6-foot-7 sophomore J.B. Bell turned both steals into a putback and two free throws. The Bulldogs further padded their lead with an 8-0 run in the third quarter and took a mountain climb of a 52-28 advantage into the fourth. Snead, Holman and Bell all led Goochland in scoring with 20, 14 and 13 points, respectively. When Snead wasn’t going after the basket with the ball in his hands, he was finding a lot of success in going after the ball. The 5-foot-8 senior got big on defense, blocking four shots and hauling in a whopping nine steals, some of which he took to the house for layups. He also had six rebounds and four assists. “That doesn’t happen by luck. He is a very smart player defensively. He sees things a little bit differently than most players,” Gordon said of Snead. “And he’s got a quickness about him that is hard for other individuals to match. Every time he steps out on the floor, he’s got a chip on his shoulder...our kids feed off of him, and they see his energy level, it’s so high. He’s a fun one to watch.” Holman, continuing to flex his quickness and his aggressiveness on defense, added five rebounds and four steals. Bell showed his toughness when he drew the foul on a hard hit in the fourth quarter, made both free throws, took back the ball right underneath the basket on the Bulldogs’ scoring side, drew yet another foul and made the next two free throws. He also brought down five rebounds. His teammate Hoffler hauled in six rebounds. Prior to Friday’s rematch with Nottoway, Goochland had just finished playing six games in eight days. Monday’s first game against the Cougars was in that stretch. Goochland had played and beaten Clover Hill just two days before on Saturday; Gordon noted the importance of having a day of prep before game night, and with a Monday game, sometimes Saturday is that prep day. And while it doesn’t have to be a whole lot, sometimes you just need to walkthrough things, watch a little bit of film and get shots up, he said, adding that a record doesn’t always reflect a team’s ath-

letic ability. Nottoway stood at 6-11 after Friday, and Prince Edward, who was 4-13 after Thursday, beat Buckingham, the second-seeded team in the James River District behind Goochland. In the case of Monday’s game, Gordon said they didn’t do a very good job defensively in one quarter, but on Friday, the Bulldogs never relented, and they were bolstered by a lively home game atmosphere accentuated by Goochland High School’s band and the fans in attendance. The Bulldogs also routed Prince Edward last Tuesday 74-53. Snead poured in 18 points and added nine rebounds, eight assists and five steals. Holman double-doubled with 17 points and 10 rebounds and Bell scored 13 points and added seven rebounds. Goochland (14-2 after Sunday) was scheduled to rematch Fluvanna on the road on Monday; the team will next host Buckingham in a huge home matchup tonight at 7 p.m. and will head to Central Lunenburg for a 7 p.m. game tomorrow. “Those are games you’ve got to be locked in for,” Gordon said. “If you want to control your destiny, you’ve got to bring the intensity every game and play four quarters.”

Goochland GBB picks up sixth straight victory The Goochland girls basketball team routed Prince Edward 50-30 last Tuesday for its sixth straight win. Jalyn Burns double-doubled with 18 points and 12 rebounds, Victoria Lopez double-doubled with 13 points and 13 rebounds and Gabby Ragone added 8 points, seven assists, four steals and four rebounds. The Bulldogs (12-5) play at Buckingham tonight at 7 p.m. and will host Central Lunenburg tomorrow at 7 p.m.

Wrestling continued from >8 he went out there...for the team,” Nadder said of Thompson. Blake Smith (126) took a loss by pin in 35 seconds to two-time state placer Sean Hall, who has won multiple invitational championships this year. “We knew what we were up against, but he

went after him,” Nadder said of Smith. Jon Daly (170) took a 10-0 setback by major decision to last weekend’s Arrowhead Invitational 170-pound champion Hans Rehme. Daly did, however, show some fight at the end of the match. “I think if we could’ve had another minute...I think he might’ve been able to score some points, possibly pick up what he needed to win,” Nadder said of Daly.

Goochland celebrated its nine seniors, including Daly, Duncan, Thompson, Luke Agee (160), Kieran McCaul (170), Ethan Ford (195), Zane Cerbo (heavyweight) and four-year managers Bre Johnson and Rilie Bass. Nadder had very high praise for Johnson and Bass, who hold the longest tenures in the Goochland wrestling program next to Nadder himself. “I can’t say enough about Bre and Rilie,” Nadder said. “Together with my daughter who

is in college now, they were our original managers and they were known throughout the district; if there was a question...they always came to the Goochland girls because their books were always right.” The Bulldogs with last Wednesday’s dual concluded their regular season and will compete in the Class 3, Region B championships the weekend of Feb. 14-15 at Independence High School in Loudoun County.
