The adopted FY 2024 total County Budget of $141.4 million advances county priorities, maintains the real estate tax rate at $0.53 per $100 assessed value for 2023, decreases the personal property tax rate for personal vehicles by $0.76 to $2.99 per $100 assessed value, and includes tax relief initiatives.

WOMAN’S CLUB ‘PLANTS’ PINWHEELS TO HELP STOP CHILD ABUSE

In honor of Prevent Child Abuse Awareness Month, marked every year in April, members of the GFWC Goochland Woman’s Club planted a pinwheel garden in front of GoochlandCares. The silver and blue pinwheels are the project’s symbol and are a reminder that everyone is important in the lives of children. Volunteer “planters,” pictured from left to right, were Mary Ann Valentour, Brenda Turner, Diana Paisley and Suzanne Myers-Kmiecik. Not pictured is Anne Hardwick.

County to celebrate local businesses

CONTRIBUTED REPORT

For the first time, Goochland County Economic Development will be celebrating business appreciation month and economic development week. The month of May has served as Virginia’s

Business Appreciation Month for the past several years, and Goochland County is excited to join other Virginia localities in highlighting local businesses and the contributions they make to the local community and Common-

wealth of Virginia. During business appreciation month, Goochland County Economic Development will be hosting two events.

The FY 2024 total county budget is a $17.0 million (13.7%) increase from the FY 2023 budget. The FY 2024 $89.1 million County general fund budget represents an $14.8 million (19.8%) increase from the FY2023 budget.

The FY 2024 Budget includes two tax relief measures to help take care of citizens in our community. It decreases the personal property tax rate from $3.75 to $2.99 per $100 assessed value for citizens whose vehicles are eligible for personal property tax relief (PPTR). It also increases the personal property tax relief (PPTR) rate applied to the first $20,000 of each personal vehicle to 32%.

Priorities for the FY2024 budget include enhancing the high-quality core services provided by education and public safety. Total county planned investments in education for FY 2024 increased $1.8 million (6.9%) over the prior year (not including capital improvements). The budget for public safety, a

Local painter enjoys creating big impact

ROSLYN RYAN Editor

For local artist Sophie Loveland, the idea for a painting can often remain in her mind for weeks, waiting for the time to be right.

Once she picks up her brushes, however, Loveland says the process of getting the image out of her head onto the canvas can often happen very quickly.

Standing in her home in western Goochland, surrounded by dozens and dozens of her paintings, Loveland admits that she isn’t exactly sure how to describe the style of her work. Words like “expressive” or “contemporary” might be a good start, but neither quite captures what the Beijing native is able to convey in her pieces, some of which stand at least 10 feet high.

Loveland has had work featured in both solo and group exhibitions up and down the East Coast—including in Richmond and Williams-

burg—as well as in China and Europe. Some of the largescale landscapes she paints evoke a quiet, almost somber feeling, while others erupt with color.

As for the artists she admires, Loveland admits the list is always changing.

“It used to be Monet and Matisse,” she says. “Now, it is two abstract artists, both of whom are Americans, Joan

Mitchell and Cy Twombly.”

One thing that hasn’t changed is Loveland’s fondness for her adopted country.

“Our home is in the forest of Goochland,” she says of the place she shares with her husband, Chet. “I enjoy this fairy tale world very much.”

Goochland County Economic Development will also

be celebrating its first Economic Development Week from May 8-12. Economic Development Week was created by the International Economic Development Council in 2016 to increase awareness of economic development programs that support local businesses, create jobs, and improve the quality of life in communities everywhere. Economic Development Week will be capped off with the Goochland Business Center Open House on May 12.

In addition to the events listed above, Business Appreciation Month and Economic Development Week will include a social media campaign on Goochland County Economic Development’s Facebook and Linke-

dIn pages. Make sure to like and follow their social media pages to keep yourself up to date on business appreciation posts and economic development information.

Goochland is home to over 900 businesses, two Fortune 500 companies, and several large regional companies employing hundreds of workers. These businesses help make Goochland special and it is important to the County to show their appreciation to its business community.

When it comes to a healthy diet, having ‘flexibility’ is key

LAURA LEE BALDWIN

Contributing Writer

How many times have you heard the phrase “You are what you eat”? This statement can seem very overwhelming and strict. A “healthy” diet is not that black and white. What if eating “healthy” was actually very flexible and inclusive? What if I told you that you don’t have to give up your favorite foods to be healthy? Hi, my name is Laura Lee, and I am here to put to rest all of the confusion and stress of figuring out what a healthy diet is for you.

“Health” has a very open definition. In general, being “healthy”

means having good mental and physical health. In a “healthy” state you will feel energetic, relaxed and comfortable when living your daily life. There is no “magic” diet that is equally healthy for everyone. Likewise, there is also no body type that is naturally healthier than another. The human body is extremely smart and it knows what is best for us, unlike pop culture fitness and diet trends.

Like a car, our bodies need proper fuel to function well. Our fuel is found in all of the macronutrients (carbs, fat, and protein) and micronutrients (vitamins and minerals).

In general macronutrients are used for our bodies’ energy storage, usage and cellular structures. Micronutrients help fine tune the quality of our bodies’ functions. The question is “how can I make sure I get enough of these nutrients?” The most effective and simple way to do this is to incorporate whole foods into your diet. This does not mean that you need to ONLY eat whole foods. A simple way to think of this is the 80/20 concept. This means eating about 80% nutrient dense foods and 20% less nutritious foods in your diet.

Rich sources of fiber, carbohy-

drates and micronutrients are fruit, vegetables, whole grains and leafy greens. Examples include berries, bananas, broccoli, oatmeal, whole wheat bread, spinach and nearly anything that grows out of the ground. A special note: sometimes a lot of whole grains can be hard on our stomach. Feel free to replace some of your servings of whole grains with white or sourdough bread to give your digestive system a break. Rich sources of protein and micronutrients include fish, poultry, plain Greek yogurt and tofu. Although slightly less dense in protein, beans and lentils are also good sources too.

Finally, foods that are rich in unsaturated fats and micronutrients are nuts, seeds, olive oil, fatty fish like salmon, avocados and more.

An easy guide to a balanced diet is the plate method. In this method a plate is divided into three sections: proteins, fats and carbohydrates. In general, the plate consists of 50% carbs and fiber, 30% protein and 20% fats.

Flexibility is important to include in a diet. No one day or couple of days will wreck your health. What really matters is an overall consistent consumption of nutritious foods like the ones listed above.

key focus area for the budget, grew by $4.1 million (21.3%) over the current fiscal year.

The FY 2024 budget includes additional investments in employees and provides a 7% pay increase for all employees. In addition, all Sheriff deputies and Fire-Rescue employees will receive an additional 4% pay increase, and all Emergency Communications employees will receive an additional 6% increase. These additional pay increases will help Goochland County retain its trained employees in this exceptionally competitive market.

The FY 2024 Budget also marks the sixth year of utilizing a twenty-fiveyear Capital Improvement Program (CIP) to meet the capital needs of the County and Schools. The FY 2024 – FY 2048 CIP contains $612.5 million for forecasted projects including needed investments in education and public safety such as new

elementary schools, a new courthouse, and new fire stations. The first year of the CIP for FY 2024 is $26.1 million and includes investments in the new Goochland Elementary School and a new West Creek fire station.

Supervisors also unanimously approved the Goochland County School Board’s FY 2024 Operating Budget during the April 18 meeting.

The approved budget includes continued funding of four interventionists at the division’s three elementary schools, a reading specialist and dean of students at Goochland Middle School, the GCPS social worker, and the full-time counselor at Randolph Elementary. These positions currently serve GCP S students but were funded with COVID-related grant funds no longer available in FY 2024. The approved budget also funds an additional science teacher at the secondary complex.

The appropriated amount of $41,168,674 is a $500,000 increase over the School Board adopted

budget of $40,668,674. The adopted budget included a 5 percent raise; however, pending approval of updated salary scales by the school board next Tuesday, the division will be able to provide a 7 percent raise for all employees who demonstrate satisfactory performance.

GCPS employs 475 fulland part-time employees, and the approved budget includes minimal health insurance premium increases.

Over 78 % of the operating budget is dedicated to instruction and technology, 6.9 % to administration and health services, 6.7 % to transportation, and 8.1 % to operations and maintenance.

“I am grateful to our school board and board of supervisors for their continued support of our employees as we work toward being the leader in overall compensation in our region,” said acting superintendent Andrew Armstrong. “The work of our employees to support our students distinguishes our division and maximizes the potential of every learner.”

Fire-Rescue, Emergency Services seeking community input

BURTON, William “Billy” Bagby, 91, of Goochland, went to be with the lord on april 10, 2023 and was greeted with countless family and friends that went before him. Billy was born on March 14, 1932, in Fluvanna, Va. to William Holman Burton Jr. and elizabeth Glass Burton. af ter Billy attended Goochland High school, he joined the United states navy in 1951. Billy served for eight years on the Uss Waldron 699. af ter departure on november 2, 1953, 18 countries, five continents, 11 seas and three oceans later Billy would arrive home and meet Vernell Mills in 1955 and start what would be a 67-year life together. Billy and Vernell went on to have two children, pamela “pamie” and randall “randy.” Billy was a manager at safeway for many years before opening a grocery store, Hilltop Market, until building his own location. Centerville Grocery would go on to be run for many years by Billy and his son, randy. af ter retirement, Billy drove a school bus, maintained rental properties and spent time in his yard. He was never one to sit still unless he was in his recliner watching golf and baseball or taking his granddaughter allison on a date. Billy certainly thrived in the spring, his favorite time of year, playing golf and using his green thumb. Billy was preceded in death by his parents, William and elizabeth; as well as siblings, James, Kenneth, Thomas, Jean pitts, shirley sullivan and Baby Burton. He is survived by his wife of 66 years, Vernell; his daughter, pamie; his son, randy (linda); his sole granddaughter, allison inge (pJ); great-grandsons, sam and rhett; his brothers, linwood (shirley) and Harold “sonny” (nancy); in-laws, Tom Mills (Chris), Frank sullivan, elsie Katz (Melvin); and an abundance of nieces, nephews and extended family.

OPINION

For would-be gardeners, community help abounds

ROSLYN RYAN Editor

When it comes to gardening and growing things, there are some in our community who just seem to have a gift. You know the ones: Their lawns are lush and green, their flower beds bursting with color. If they have a vegetable garden (and they probably do), it is laid out and tended in a way that brings forth a bumper crop of delicious produce throughout the growing season. They know what to plant where, when to water, and which garden tools are worth having.

If this sounds like you, I’d like to thank you for giving the rest of us something to which we can aspire. Because some of us have quite a ways to go.

Just speaking for myself, if I was not blessed with a green thumb I was at least gifted an enthusiastic one. Like many would-be gardeners, I enjoy nothing more than gleefully picking up an armload of seed packets, looking carefully over the instructions printed on the back, and then marching confidently outside each spring to commit all manner of seed-sowing sins. While good common sense would suggest calling in an expert, my usual m.o. is to wing it, planting things where I think they will look best and paying only fleeting attention to

things like soil quality, sun exposure and spacing. The results, as you might expect, are usually not great, though nature usually manages to triumph—at least to a certain degree—over my hamhanded efforts. My flowers usually survive for a while and my tomato and pepper plants will offer up a tiny harvest, just enough to keep me coming back year after year. Still, as I drive through the county or visit those who do grow bountiful gardens, I know just how far I have to go.

Fortunately, in Goochland, we do have access to plenty of help when it comes to everything from vegetable gardening to keeping our lawns healthy. One suggestion for all gardening skill levels is to reach out to the Goochland County office of Virginia Cooperative Extension for help with any issues you might be having (the office also offers numerous garden-related workshops throughout the year). Through the Extension Office, residents can also access help from local Master Gardeners, members of the local community with special training in horticulture who volunteer their time to share their knowledge with the community.

For more information on the Goochland Extension Office, visit www.goochland. ext.vt.edu/ or call (804) 5565841.

Also, for all green thumbs and non-green thumbs alike, this Saturday brings the 17th annual Spring Garden Festival to J. Sargent Reynolds Community College (1851 Dickinson Road, in Goochland). The free, family-friendly event is a celebration of all things gardening and is put on from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. by the Goochland-Powhatan Master Gardener Association (GPMGA) in cooperation with Reynolds Community College and the Virginia Cooperative Extension. The event includes the much-loved GPMGA Plant Sale, with a wide variety of plants at great prices, an Ask the Master Gardener station for free gardening help, and lots of fun gardeningrelated vendor booths. For a small fee, participants can also increase their gardening knowledge through classes, workshops, and tours. A food truck will also be on site selling breakfast and lunch items.

As for me, I think this might be the year I finally see the light and ask for help as I go about getting my garden started. Will this be the year my flower beds and vegetable plants finally flourish? Time will tell—but I’m ready to get growing.

Do you have a garden project you’re particularly proud of, or a tip you’d like to share? Send it to rryan@goochlandgazette.com and we’ll include it in an upcoming issue.

Because we must have lists for almost everything possible in our everyday lives, the Library of Congress designates 25 songs or sounds each year that make up a prestigious list of artists, songs and recordings that, as a society, we deem worthy of national recognition.

Since 2000, the Library’s National Recording Registry has documented and cataloged some of the nation’s most memorable songs and memorialized many of our most famous sounds.

It’s not all about music, either. The collection includes sounds of coverage from 9-11 and other significant sounds from history including coverage of Hank Aaron’s historical 715th home run as described by legendary sports caster Milo Hamilton.

The collection includes the earliest known recording of jazz pianist James Johnson’s “Harlem Strut” and other famous tidbits of sound including a conversation with Robin Williams.

“The National Recording Registry reflects the diverse music and voices that have shaped our na-

tion’s history and culture through recorded sound,” said Librarian of Congress Carla Hayden in an NPR article last year.

To those who think the list has too much of a high-browed tone, with entries like Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin” and Queens’ “Bohemian Rhapsody,” there’s something on the list for everyone. The Wu-Tang Clan’s “Enter the WuTang” joined the exclusive catalog last year.

This year’s list, announced earlier this month, also includes a wide variety of artists and genres including Madonna, Daddy Yankee, Mariah Carey, The Police and Led Zeppelin just to name a few.

Even the Super Mario Brothers theme was tapped for recognition on this year’s list, a first for video game themes.

One of the more puzzling selections from this year’s list is John Lennon’s “Imagine,” a title I would have thought should have been added years ago.

Turns out the classic is the first recording by a former Beatle to be added. Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band made the list in 2003.

Now, I don’t question the credentials of the

people selected to make the selections, but how in the world could Lennon’s Imagine have taken so long to be recognized? The same goes for other well-known reminders of culture contained in this year’s list.

The 2023 list also includes its fair share of Billboard hits including “Sherry” by the Four Seasons, Bobbie Gentry’s “Ode to Billy Joe,” Irene Cara’s “Flashdance” and the Eurythmics’ “Sweet Dreams.”

And two of America’s most popular sing-along tunes made the 2023 list. John Denver’s “Take Me Home, Country Roads” and Jimmy Buffet’s “Margaritaville” are now forever recognized, many years after a nation pegged them national classics many years ago. This year’s additions bring the total number of entries to 625. Considering the nation’s extensive and varied sound heritage, the number of future designees seems almost infinite.

And, I’m infinitely appreciative of this year’s inclusion of Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven,” a song that for many of us, defines a generation.

Again, what took so long?

Collegiate holds off late Highland rally in thrilling victory

ROBBY FLETCHER Sports Editor

The Collegiate Cougars have built quite the resume 16 games into the 2022-23 season.

With wins over Benedictine, the reigning state champs and current No. 2 in the VISAA Division I standings in Cape Henry Collegiate and the fifth-ranked Paul VI Panthers, the Cougars have stood atop the VISAA Division I power ranking for the last three polls. In the process, they happened to add yet another resume-building victory, taking down the Highland Hawks in a 5-4 win at home on April 19.

The Hawks, currently ranked first in the VISAA Division II polls with a 14-5 record, fared poorly in the first three innings against an uncompromising Cougars defense led on the mound by junior Mason Quigley, who struck out three batters and allowed just three hits in his four-inning appearance. Eventually though, with the Cougars up four runs, the Hawks began mounting a comeback, scoring three in the top of the fifth to make it a 5-4 score.

Needing to hold them scoreless for the next two innings, the Cougars stepped up and closed the door on the comeback, first getting a huge double play in the top of the sixth with bases loaded that saw second baseman Owen Prusek and shortstop Hartley Rahman work together to pick up a ground ball near second, where Rahman delivered it to first baseman Jack Callaghan to get the team off the field with their lead intact.

The Cougars had to work their magic one more time in the top of the seventh, once again denying the Hawks the opportunity to tie or take the lead with three straight outs on three at-bats, including a strikeout from Carter Hepp and an out via offensive interference to give the Cougars their 12th win of the season.

Prior to the comeback, the Cougars built up a 5-0 lead by the top of the fourth inning, which started with two runs in the first

that came off errors on hits from Carter Mitchell and Hayden Rollison to send home Rahman and Jett Bristow.

In the second inning, Bristow became the batter to send a teammate home, singling on a line drive to bring Prusek home for a 3-0 lead. Another error contributed to Collegiate’s fourth run, when Bristow stole for third and made it to home on an errant throw to get him out.

While errors on Highland’s side killed their chances of a good first impression, the Cougars made few mistakes of their own on the defensive end. The top of the second and third innings had some of Collegiate’s biggest defensive highlights of the day, including a miraculous catch at the center field fence from senior Hank Shield to save a potential home run in the second and Rahman tossing throws on a wire from second to first base on consecutive at-bats in the third inning to get two Highland batters out despite making good contact on their swings.

In the bottom of the third, Collegiate had its final score of the day when Prusek grounded out to first base but helped Shield make it to home for a commanding 5-0 lead.

After cycling through three pitchers after Quigley’s day ended, Hepp ultimately proved the answer to close out the game, taking control in a relief role one batter into the seventh inning and not allowing a single Hawks player to reach base.

Sitting at 12-3-1 with nine games left in the regular season, Collegiate’s resume looks as pristine as anyone’s in the state and while there are multiple teams close behind looking to stifle them, those who have tried previously have left with little success and another game filed under the loss column.

The Cougars play again in a home matchup against Christchurch School (1-8) on Wednesday, April 26 at 4:45 p.m.

Ex-Spiders hoops coach Bill Dooley named Benedictine’s coach

JOHN O’CONNER Richmond Times-Dispatch

Benedictine cornered the market on former University of Richmond student-athletes in coaching positions.

The Cadets on Monday announced the hiring of basketball coach Bill Dooley, the former Spiders’ forward, assistant and head coach. Dooley, 63, joins a Benedictine coaching roster that includes ex-UR quarterback Greg Lilly as football coach and ex-UR infielder Sean Ryan as baseball coach.

Dooley came back to reside in Richmond during the fall of 2022 and said that he learned about the opening at Benedictine, which has

a rich hoops tradition.

“From my time in Richmond, I’ve always had great respect for Benedictine, for what they stand for academically, religiously, the military component of it,” said Dooley, a former UR captain. “I know a lot of alumni.”

Matt Murrer, an ex-Cadets star forward, stepped away as Benedictine’s coach before last season to address unexpected business issues. The team was directed on an interim basis by assistant Corey Bradt.

Dooley, who led UR to a 43-69 record 1993-97, coached a pair of high-school teams in the Philadelphia area 2005-12. Otherwise, he has coached the Irish National

Team and at Delaware Valley University. He also was an assistant at Hartford, and on the women’s side at Virginia Tech. Most recently, Dooley scouted for the Brooklyn Nets.

“I’ve tried to stay involved just depending on family stuff and what was available, and where we were and so forth,” he said. “My feeling is we’re very happy to be back in Richmond and I didn’t really have any idea what the situation was at Benedictine until someone brought it to my attention.

“It kind of went from there. It’s a matter of just trying to use my experience to help these young men on the court and off the

court. It’s what I’d like to do. It’s what I love doing. So I thought that might be a fit at this particular school. I’m excited about it.”

Dooley will not be a teacher or administrator at Benedictine. He arrived at UR as a transfer from Catholic University during the early 1980s and became a 6-foot-7 defensive presence. Dooley then joined Dick Tarrant’s Richmond staff and through eight years was part of teams that accomplished unprecedented success in the Colonial Athletic Association and in the NCAA tournament.

When Tarrant retired at UR, Dooley was elevated to head coach.

In busy week, Cougars outdoor track team shows off its top athletes

ROBBY FLETCHER Sports Editor

With two track meets in three days, one of which was hosted at Hickey Track, the Collegiate Cougars outdoor track team was able to show off their skills across multiple events as they gear up in preparation for the upcoming Prep Championships. Their home meet featuring 11 other schools on April 19 was the Cougars’ seventh meet of the outdoor season and the second to be hosted at their own track. That home field advantage was evident, with the team cruising through multiple events with six first place medalists and even more athletes placing within the top-3.

First place winners like Gabi Deglau, Ben Wittkamp, Thomas Galahan, Abby Mayr, Kyla Coffey and Sophie Sloan represented their school with wins in seven different events.

Deglau, a Penn State recruit, was a two-time first place winner at the meet, taking home the top honors in the discus (137-2) and in the shot put (35-6) to add to an already stellar season.

Sloan had a blazing fast result

in the girls 800-meter dash, flashing down the track with a time of 2:34.98 while her teammates Emily Beggerow (2:39.21) and Bowen Suro (2:42.25) finished in second and fourth place.

In the girls pole vault, both Mayr and Azaria Bailey vaulted to 9-foot results that tied them at the top of the competition.

The Cougars’ girls team also got a first place effort from Kyla Coffey in the long jump, where her 15 foot, 10.5 inch mark put her ahead of STAB senior Bella Grace Cave.

In the boys running events, victories from Wittkamp in the 400 (52.13), Galahan in the 800 (2:35.63) and the 4x800 relay team (8:36.21) added to an overall remarkable team performance. Leapers like Krystian Williams in the long jump (2011.5) and Nasir Diggs in the high jump (5-0) gave the Cougars’ boys team two more strong results as well, with both finishing in second.

Two days later, a handful of Collegiate athletes were back out on the track, this time competing at the Mechanicsville Invitational, which featured a

huge 28-team field and two days of non-stop action.

Collegiate’s lone first place result came from senior speedster Stan Craig, who stood out among 152 runners in the 1600-meter run with a time of 4:22.13. Craig was nearly five seconds ahead of his closest competitor, Glen Allen’s Carson Rackley, and looked like a fully prepared runner for the VISAA championships later this season.

Other productive Collegiate runs include a fifth place finish from Virginia Harris in the 800 (2:27.66), a third place showing from the girls 4x800 relay team (10:25.25) and an eighth place result from Liam Moore in the 3200 race (10:30.42).

Senior Brandon Watson had a productive day representing the Cougars as well. The versatile Watson came off a third place 300 hurdles finish at the Collegiate meet days prior with a fifth place mark in the high jump, getting over the bar with a 5-8 result.

Next up for Collegiate is a meet hosted at St. Christopher’s track on May 3 that is set to feature five teams.
