The Goochland County School Board took a step Oct. 11 at its monthly meeting to correct errors made in extending Superintendent Linda Underwood’s employment contract by changing the end date to June 30, 2014.

Supervisor hopefuls spar at second forum

Nine candidates for Goochland super-visor seats took turns at the podium of the Goochland Recreation Center last week in a lively question and answer session hosted by the county’s NAACP chapter.

They fielded audience generated ques-tions highlighting key issues facing the upcoming board including the downturn in the local economy, the nagging debt Tuckahoe Creek Service District debt, communication between the county’s two elected boards and economic disparity in the county.

“Our mission was to inform the public and I think we met that challenge,” said forum moderator and NAACP president Sekou Shabaka.

Any discussion of financial matters in the county has to include an examination of the Tuckahoe Creek Service District and its failure to meet revenue expecta-tions. Formed in 2002, the original agree-ment established lofty repayment goals that relied on an optimistic growth rate in the county.

A recent study submitted to the sitting supervisors identified options to revise the plan that included refinancing the debt or spreading the increasing utility costs countywide.

District 1 candidate Susan Lascolette expressed vehement opposition to the bur-den being shifted to all taxpayers in the

Bus driver files assault charge against Schools Transportation Chief

By Jim [email protected]

A Goochland Schools bus driver has filed assault charges against the head of transporta-tion for the school system.

An incident on the morn-ing of Oct. 13 between the driver, Tonya Gilman, and Betty Thurston, Supervisor of Transportation for Goochland Public Schools, led to Gilman filing a complaint for assault and battery against Thurston, a Class 1 Misdemeanor, punishable by up to one year in prison and a $2,500 fine.

Sheriff James Agnew con-firmed by phone that afternoon

that the summons was served on Thurston at 12:15 p.m.

Thurston was released on summons and agreed to appear Oct. 24 in General District Court at 8:45 a.m.

According to Gilman, the incident occurred at the Transportation Office.

Gilman said had called Thurston on her radio to find out why a scheduled prac-tice evacuation on her bus that morning didn’t occur. Thurston told Gilman she didn’t have any paperwork for it. So after delivering her students to school, Gilman went to the office with her paperwork to make a copy for Thurston.

“She was humiliating me over the radio, telling me I didn’t have the paperwork,” Gilman said. “I consider what she was saying slander. When you are on the radio like that, everybody in the county that has a radio can hear you.”

Words were exchanged and then Thurston grabbed Gilman by the arm, said Gilman.

“I had to tell her two times to let go of me before she did,” Gilman said. “When I went out-side, there were marks on my arm, so I called 911. They came and looked at it and advised me to file charges.”

Gilman filed a complaint and now wonders if she’ll have a job

much longer.“I have been notified that I

have to turn in a written report tomorrow,” she said.

Gilman said she doesn’t understand why Thurston is constantly on her case.

“I enjoy my job and work hard to be a good driver,” she said. “I’m one of the county’s driving instructors and I just don’t understand why she is con-stantly after me.”

A call to Thurston’s work number resulted in no contact.

Goochland School Superintendent Linda Underwood declined to com-ment on the matter, calling it a “personnel issue.”

our collective heads to solve this problem,” he said.

Quarles is running against Manuel Alvarez, who said all of the options provided by Davenport (the company who did the latest study) mean “tax increases for somebody.”

Alvarez said people in his district don’t want to pay for someone else’s water. “They have to deal with well and septic prob-lems, and if you’ve ever had one fail, it’s a pretty expensive ordeal.” He also suggested using another source to do the analysis.

District 3 challenger Alan Tucker said the solution lies in economic development. “We need to entice businesses to come to Goochland,” he said.

Tucker’s opponent, incum-bent Ned Creasey, said the prob-lem is worse than anticipated. “The system was put together with a flaw in it,” he said. “The scary part of this system is that we have 9 ½ miles of bad pipe and we’ll have to address that. All the figures we hear don’t include

that.”District 4 challenger Bob

Minnick agreed the only way out of the TCSD mess is through economic development. “That’s the long term solution. There is no other real option,” he said. He likened Davenport to the “fox in the hen house.”

Incumbent District 4 super-visor Rudy Butler said hiring an economic development director would go a long way to turn-ing the problem around. “I’m for looking at mixed use in West Creek, and I voted twice against raising these peoples’ ad valorem tax,” Butler said.

All of the candidates agreed that vocational training needs to be expanded in county schools and supported turning Byrd Middle School into a vocational tech center that would include a Black History Museum for the county.

Creasey pointed out the county had just spent $500,000 to replace the roof at the old Central High School, and he would like to see the county get some use out of it.

Lascolette said the renovation

was a good idea provided it was “cost effective.”

The candidates also fielded questions on the county’s large economic gap and poverty in Goochland County. “We have floors in homes in this county that are marble and floors in this county that are dirt, and every-thing in between,” Petersen said.

Butler said “There is a big dif-ference and that’s something we have to overcome in this county. We can do that through the edu-cation system.”

Butler said every student in

the county should have an oppor-tunity to do one of two things, either go to college or enter train-ing in a vocational skill.

The idea of a vocational ele-ment in the school system was a recurring theme in the discus-sion, and most candidates agreed on the need for such a program.

While the incumbents stressed improving on systems, like education, already in place, the challengers noted the need for the selection of a new team.

The voters will make the ulti-mate choice on Nov. 8.

The late and much respected Don Charles, dep-uty county administrator for Goochland County,wrote Abbot Patrick Moore, Mary Mother of the Church Abbey, on March 6, 2007 about theproposed move of Benedictine High School to Goochland County. This letter was obtained underthe Freedom of Information Act and can be read in its entirety at www.friendsofgoochland.weebly.com. Excerpts are presented here:

1. …“The Goochland County Comprehensive Plan indicates low density residentialand open space/recreation as the area’s appropriate land uses.”

2. …“The nature and intensity of activities associated with academic institutions areNOT COMPATIBLE with the Comprehensive Plan.”

3. …“Traffic management and control is a significant concern in the River Roadcorridor…It is difficult to overstate the potential traffic concerns here.”

4. …“Goochland County WOULD NOT SUPPORT the construction of anyadditional on-site water capacity or additional discharges into the river.”

SOL scores for Goochland County’s three elementary schools have been released, and Randolph Elementary had significant gains.

“We had a wonderful year and I believe it was from hav-ing all of our teachers on the same page,” said Randolph principal Dianna Gordon. “Teachers were encouraged to be creative. For example in reading, if a teacher had a group of boys who liked NASCAR, she brought stories about NASCAR for them to read. It’s easier for the stu-dents to learn to read if they are reading material they are interested in as opposed to something they are being required to read.”

The scores for reading and math are presented below. The schools are listed in alphabeti-cal order. The scores are for African-American Students (AA), Students with Disabilities

(SWD), Economically Disadvantaged (ED), English as a Second Language (ESL) and Caucasian (C).

Contract to June 30, 2014. I hope everyone understands that this is not an extension of the Superintendent’s con-tract. Citizens have raised con-cerns about transparency and responsiveness and the School Board is committed to fair-ness. Contrary to the asser-tions of some, there are no smoke and mirrors and the School Board wants to make

it clear that all of its actions are above board and legal. I hope that the School Board’s action tonight will put this issue to rest because we want to move on with the business of educat-ing Goochland’s children.”

On a roll-call vote, the document was unanimously approved.

The issue concerning Superintendent Underwood’s contract came under scrutiny recently when Penny Palen, a candidate for the School Board

in the November election, sought a preliminary injunc-tion against the School Board in Goochland Circuit Court.

Palen believed the two extensions, one until July 14, 2013, and the second until Oct. 26, 2014, violated a part of the Virginia Code that requires school superintendents’ con-tracts to end on June 30 of any given year. She asked the court to enjoin the School Board from making any changes to the addendums or extending

the original contract further. Goochland Circuit Court

Judge Timothy K. Sanner dis-missed Palen’s request.

“What would be wrong with allowing them to correct that?” Sanner asked, referring to Palen’s assertion that the addendums extending the con-tract contained dates that vio-lated Virginia law.

By changing the end date of Underwood’s contract to June 30, 2014, that is just what the School Board did.

Contributed Report

Tucker Park at Maidens Crossing was officially dedicated at a Park Picnic event October 12, 201. The event marked the beginning of public access to the site and centered on honoring the Tucker family and the park’s key donors and volunteers.

Located at the intersection of Highway 522 and the James River, the park’s land is the only public access point to the river that does not require cross-ing railroad tracks. Owned by Goochland County, Tucker Park is 36 acres of land with 1,200 feet directly on the waterfront.

The park site land had been owned by the Tucker fam-ily, whose heritage in Goochland dates back to the late 1800’s and includes owning the Maidens Adventure Inn and serving as postmasters.

“At one time, the Tuckers lived on every hilltop in Maidens,” said Gloria Tucker. “Our entire family had spent so many years enjoy-ing the river and we always felt it would be a perfect place for a park.”

The park was designed by the late Don Charles, former Deputy County Administrator for Goochland County.

The design for Tucker Park includes an open stage for musi-

cal events, a launch for canoes and kayaks, open space for rec-reation, an archery range and an observation point for birding. Recently, a parking lot for the site was completed, enabling the county to open the park.

While Goochland County’s professional Parks and Recreation staff manages the day to day maintenance and programming, the Tucker Park at Maidens Crossing Task Force is the park’s volunteer champion.

Established by the Goochland County Chamber of Commerce, the task force works with the county to promote a collabora-tive approach to the park’s evolu-tion.

Tucker Park is also a member of the 35 Mile Drive Association and Discover Goochland.

Members of the Task Force are Chris Caul , Gary Clower, Ned Creasey, Bonnie Creasy, Wayne Dementi, Leigh Dunn, Aynsley Fisher, Terry Hazelton, Arthur Jennings, Kitty and Don Leeger, Chuck Peple, Derenda Reynolds, Derek Stamey and Mark D. Williams.

The completion of the 35 space parking lot, including hand-icapped spaces, was the result of the Task Force’s coordination of a collective effort on the part of many volunteers and businesses in Goochland. Participating in the project was Leigh Gordon of

Gordon Construction Company, who served as the site contrac-tor Contributed Photoand donated the use of his equip-ment and most importantly his own time to complete the job. Travis Chewning and Brad Duty worked to help secure Luck Stone’s donation of 1,200 tons of crusher run. Billy Ottley of S. B. Cox and Joe Liesfeld of Liesfeld Contracting donated trucks that made over 30 trips to remove the soil and transport the stone to the site. Gary Clower, LA, former Director of Land Development for McKinney and Company, created the site plan and Mike Parrish of Parish and Associates surveyed and staked the site.

“I was inspired by the tremen-dous generosity of these individ-

uals and companies in helping us to build this parking lot,” said Beth Moore. “Without their con-tributions of time and resources, we would not have been able to open the park to the public.”

Tucker Park follows the hours of Goochland County’s other parks and is open from dawn until dusk.

“This scenic park represents Goochland County’s quest to re-unite our residents and visitors with the natural beauty of the James River,” said Beth Moore, Chair of the Tucker Park at Maidens Crossing Task Force.

and there is the “Tipping Our Hats to Reading” program. Students can earn points for reading, and at a certain point level, they earn a hat. As they earn more points, stars will be drawn on their hats. On Fridays, students will wear their hats all day, and at the end of the year, the students can take their hats home.

Goochland Elementary School also has a goal for an overall pass rate of 95 per-cent for math in the Spring, 2012 Assessment.

There will be after school tutoring for grades 3-5 in the spring and also a group called the “Lunch Math Bunch” where students play teacher created math games after eating lunch.

Grades K-5 will have math vocabulary and/or concepts displayed in the classroom and students will have the opportunity to join the school’s match club.

After 30 years “in” prison, Wendy Hobbs is getting out.

The 55-year old Sandy Hook resident hasn’t been serving time in the normal since of the word.

She joined the Department of Corrections in 1981, and in 1989 she became the assistant warden at Goochland. Two years later, she was named warden, a position she would hold until two years ago when she was asked to become the warden at the Fluvanna Connectional Center for Women.

Her new post is Regional Administrator for the Eastern Region of the Department of Corrections.

“I’ve gotten a promotion and I’m mov-ing into the administration

side of corrections,” she said while relaxing at her home Thursday. “In my new role, I’ll supervise the wardens and superintendents of eight major institutions and two field units. I believe I can use my experience to mentor and guide them and make their units better.”

Over her years as a warden, Hobbs com-municated with staff and inmates on a daily basis.

“I’ve worked with men and women in my career, and women are much more open,” she said. “Men will talk with you, but it’s usually only after they have exhausted all other efforts. They’ll try to do things on their own or by talking to other inmates before coming to the warden or a corrections officer for help.

“Women are just the opposite,” Hobbs said. “I would regularly walk among them and talk to them. I could find out what they

wanted and needed and what was going on among the other inmates before something happened.”

Homestretch

Support schools through Donors Choose

As our schools take their steps forward in the “battle of the school board” I would like to draw attention back to the classrooms. Several teach-ers have posted wish lists for their classrooms on Donors Choose.

This is the link : http://bit.ly/HelpGCPS.

Their needs aren’t huge and the dollar values aren’t millions but if everyone in Goochland could step in then we could really make a differ-ence. If they don’t receive the com-plete funding then our teachers don’t get the money. We could beat these

down times one dollar at a time.Also, the arts programs that so

many parents have stepped in to save NEED our help. We need art and music supplies. If you or anyone you know have an old instrument in your attic PLEASE think about donating it. There are kids who can not par-ticipate in band because of the rental fees.

These aren’t the free and reduced lunch kids but the “parent who lost his job” kids or the “downsized at work” kids. Music is expensive. Reeds cost money and they use them up quickly. Please think about what you can do to help. Donate a gift card

Letters to the Editor

Imagine my glee last week watch-ing the St. Louis Cardinals, given up for dead near the end of the sea-son when they trailed the Milwaukee Brewers in their division and seemed out of the running for the wild card spot behind Atlanta, beat the Brewers soundly last week to advance to the World Series.

Glee because when we were boys in the 50s, my brother and I picked baseball teams to root for.

Bob picked the Brooklyn Dodgers, back when New York City was a three team Major League town, with the mighty Yankees, the Dodgers and the Giants.

I picked St. Louis for reasons unknown and it’s been fun watching them ever since. Although it’s not the same with umpteen teams in each league and two sets of playoffs before you get to the series. By rights the Phillies should be playing in the fall classic, since they had the best won-lost record in baseball.

But things change.And that’s the question here

in Goochland, where candidates for School Board and the Board of Supervisors are winding up and throwing their best pitches to the vot-ers, here in the homestretch to the Nov. 8 election.

Some have called this the most important election in modern Goochland history, with the poten-tial for significant change on both boards.

They are probably right – that the election is mighty important. But it strikes this writer as a case of be careful what you wish for. Should the

ardent challengers take over, they will be faced with the same problems that bedeviled their predecessors – TCSD financing, a steady decline in coun-ty revenues and the need to craft a sensible economic growth plan dur-ing a period when business is in the doldrums, not to mention how to spend ever dwindling resources in the school system.

Here in Goochland the various candidate forums have been under-way, giving anyone interested a chance to check out those who have chosen to run in these difficult times.

And the recent correction, or amending of the school superin-tendent’s contract after the Palen suit was dismissed, should make it clear that the School Board mem-bers meant what they said when they gave support for the current school administration and the budget deci-sions they approved.

So it’s down to the homestretch. By the time the Gazette hits the street (some get it on Wednesday); there will still be time to plan on attend-ing the Chamber of Commerce Forum for School Board candidates Wednesday night at the High School auditorium. Six o’clock is the time.

Another opportunity presents itself with the GEPA forum at the Goochland Recreation Center on Sunday, Oct. 23 from 4 to 6 p.m.

It may not be as much fun as root-ing for your team in the World Series but supporting the candidates of your choice is a lot more important.

See you Sunday.

Introducing Dr. Jackye Kimand Dr. Jason Hurst

Are you in pain? Have you tried everything to alleviate your painwithout success? Are you contemplating surgery? Tried injections?Had surgery and are still in pain? In many cases, the operationsare necessary for proper health and recovery from an injury.However, we have seen many patients who received operationsthey may not have needed and are still in ridiculous pain. OurNewlife™ Healing System is both high-tech and non-force,and most important, proven to be a safe and effective alternativeto surgery. You will see we have the best therapeutic modality foradvanced pain relief and expedited healing times! Our NewlifeLaser delivers soothing, deep, penetrating, photonic energy tobring about profound physiological changes. The inflammation isreduced, pain gates are blocked and the damaged tissues begin thephysiological process of repair 3-5 times faster than normal. Thisall occurs as the essential healing factors are brought in and thenon-essential wastes are removed, with increased circulation atthe site of injury. These therapeutic enhancements of the cellularchemistry are triggered by our Newlife Laser, making it atruly profound healing modality and experience…guaranteed!

Surgeon has PERSONAL Experience!Dr. Robert Morrow, a well-known, trusted orthopedic surgeon,who had completed over 15,000 surgeries, said “I was sufferingfrom shoulder pain for 6 months straight with no relief. I heardabout laser treatment and after seeing and hearing many of mypatient’s stories, I did more research on the topic and found thatthe doctors and staff now using these Newlife Lasers finallyhave a tool to help people who think that surgery is their onlyoption. I went to get treated and was amazed that it took away allof my pain. After 6 months of misery, I was relieved and I am nowPain Free! I know that orthopedic surgeons don’t always fullyunderstand the available alternatives to surgery and, as a result,many patients are sent through long, painful and costly procedures.There are many of you who have been through the process of usingprescription medications and injections … with little or no relief.Physicians who recommend drugs are limited by their options, fortreatment, so they continue to prescribe medications. I have foundthat this Newlife™ Healing System is very effective at treatingpatients that have not responded to other procedures, even thosewho have already tried surgery. I concluded, to give patients thebest possible care, there needs to be referrals provided to chronicpain patients so they can receive these unique therapies.”

Rudy Butler listens to the people

I moved to Goochland in 2008 because I believed Goochland was a place where families could enjoy the rural character and small town community atmosphere. This year has been an eye opening experience for me when my neighborhood was faced with

the threat of being destroyed, or forever changed, by hav-ing a retail distribution center/warehouse located within the subdivision.

Rudy Butler became a friend to my neighborhood and listened to his constituents’ concerns and made decisions even though they might not be to his political advantage. I believe Rudy Butler has the best interest of Goochland at heart and should be re-elected to the Board of Supervisors.

Donna BradyGoochland

Butler supports UDAs, writer doesn’t

The Urban Development Area process (UDA), has attracted a lot of scrutiny recently. Many citizens feel that such mandates infringe on property rights of citizens in Goochland and Virginia. Voters bristle at the thought of being told what they may and may not do with their property and the idea that politicians are picking “winners and losers”.

Apparently, that is not the way that District 4 Supervisor Rudy Butler feels. In a Page 1 story of the December 16, 2010 issue of the Goochland

Gazette (“Supervisors move forward on UDA plan”), Mr. Butler is quoted as support-ing the plan: “That idea found favor with District 4 supervi-sor Malvern R. “Rudy” Butler, who said the Tuckahoe Creek Service District should be con-sidered for inclusion in the UDA plan”.

Bob Minnick, District 4 can-didate for Supervisor, is clear in his opposition to UDAs. In the August 11, 2011 issue of the Gazette, Mr.

Minnick is quoted regarding UDAs: “I’m not thrilled with any kind of state mandate.” Further, Mr. Minnick’s position papers state he is “opposed to the ‘Urban Development Area’ mandate as currently planned in District 4 (Centerville area).”

I live in District 4 and agree with Bob Minnick on UDAs. On this and many other issues, Supervisor Butler has had us going in the wrong direction for years. Minnick gets my vote on November 8th.

Dan ZodunManakin-Sabot

Rudy Butler deserves re-election

I have known and followed the long and successful career

of Rudy Butler since he was first elected to the Goochland Board of Supervisors. He has always worked hard and effectively for his constituents. He is visible at many county-wide events and available to all county residents.

Rudy keeps in mind the rural nature of Goochland County while being a strong proponent of controlled and proper growth. He has diligent-ly pursued bringing business to the county and supporting existing businesses in order to reduce the tax burden of citi-zens.

Rudy is a strong family person. I have always enjoyed hearing him tell about Grace’s (wife) may volunteer activi-ties at St. Matthews Methodist Church and Will’s (son) pursuit of an extraordinary education. As usual his conversations are about others and not himself. He really has a caring attitude and delights in serving others.

I respectfully request that the voters of District 4 of Goochland Count vote to re-elect Rudy Butler as their Supervisor. I will be doing so.

Supports Creasey for a second term

I would like to encour-age the citizens of District 3 to re-elect Ned Creasey for another term on the Board of Supervisors. When I sup-ported him for his first term, it was because I believed he had qualities that would help our citizens and county. Those qualities included caring, devo-tion and passion.

During his first term, those times were filled with many challenges and opportunities. He cared about each one of them. He listened to people and he did the necessary research to make sure he made the best decision.

I think the next term will continue to be met with chal-lenges and opportunities for our citizens and county, just as the rest of the country will be faced with much of the same. Many of those challenges will not be easy and I believe Ned Creasey will do the greatest good for the greatest number. His style and approach is what we still need. Please join me in supporting him for another term.

Robin L. HillmanMaidens

Ned Creasey right man for District 3

There are many good rea-sons why we need to re-elect Ned Creasey to the Board of Supervisor seat for District 3. After moving to Goochland County from Chesterfield 26 years ago, we have seen our local government change in many different ways, many of which we all would like to forget. But four years ago we were convinced that voting for Ned Creasey was the right vote to cast, and that deci-

sion certainly has proved to be the right choice. Mr. Creasey was the best person for the job then, and remains the right choice again. As the county population gradually grows, many unique and important decisions will have to be made for the immediate and long range goals of our county. Mr. Creasey made a commitment to establish transparency in all levels of our local govern-ment departments and busi-ness activities. To his credit, he has done just that during his current term.

When you go to the polls in November, we urge you to support Ned Creasey. Please give him the opportunity to continue as a skillful and trust-worthy leader for Goochland County. Ned is a man with a mission, striving to make this county a great place for every-one to live and to call it home.

Tom and Laura FerrisMaidens

Goochland needs leaders like Manny

As members of the “Greatest Generation” hit the Normandy Beaches, those whom had thus far survived the landing became the tar-gets of unmerciless German gunfire raining down from the cliffs above the beach-heads. Everyone knew, for the invasion to succeed, and the “slaughter on the sand” to cease, the guns must be silenced. While all agreed about the problem, only a handful braved the cliffs and quieted the wicked weapons, thus providing a solution.

While no-one is hemor-rhaging over Goochland County’s lack of high-speed (broadband) Internet ser-vice, at last Thursday’s NAACP Candidates Forum all supervisor candidates agreed bridging the “Digital Divide” was fundamental to improving our children’s edu-

cation. When the question, “Knowing Broadband Internet service’s county-wide priority, why was Comcast’s Franchise Agreement allowed to lapse for 3 ½ years?” was posed to the incumbent supervisors seek-ing re-election, Chairman and current District 2 supervisor William Quarles grabbed the microphone.

After saying, “I know who asked that question,” Professor Quarles proceeded to pontifi-cally lecture “his class” with-out answering the question. District 1’s Pryor said “I have nothing to add.”

The November 3, 2004 Goochland County Board of Supervisors Meeting Minutes clearly state, “William Quarles and Bill Cleveland to negotiate the franchise agree-ment with Comcast (renewal is in 2007).” Despite Quarles’ public record, the Comcast Agreement was not executed until June of this year, leaving Goochland without an agree-ment for 3 ½ years.

During this time Goochland was without an executed Comcast agreement, Manuel Alvarez, now seeking District 2’s Board of Supervisor’s seat, waged a “one man war” against Comcast bringing Broadband Internet service to his residence.

I have read the agree-ment. It states a minimum 15 households within ½ mile are needed to obtain service. I had occasion this week to visit Horsepen Hills, and I counted 17 mailboxes on a road under ½ mile long…why haven’t the incumbents been fighting for our Horsepen Hills neighbors?

Whom do want in our landing craft when we hit the beach, walkers like Alvarez, or talkers like Quarles?

Goochland needs more leaders like Manny, who will scale the cliffs and get the job done!

Inmates serving sentences at a Hobbs’ facility had to be commit-ted to self improvement.

“Education is very impor-tant,” she explained. “If an inmate didn’t have a high school degree, we worked with her to get her GED. Then we would encour-age them to take college courses offered to inmates. What else were they going to do? They were in prison with a lot of time they could use to better themselves. We were able to get women con-tinuing their education with the idea it would benefit them when they got out.”

Another area Hobbs encour-

aged inmates to work on was job skills. Everybody worked and had a job at Goochland and Fluvanna when Hobbs was the warden.

“Most of the women serving time at Goochland or Fluvanna were going to get out someday, and we didn’t want them com-ing back,” she added. “They had families, children and friends, that wanted them at home. We emphasized education and job skills, so they could support themselves and their families when they were out, was the way to make sure they didn’t break the law again and wind up back here or in another prison.”

Hobbs said her mother, Louise Sparks, taught her how to be successful.

“My mother is the young-est of 22 children,” she said. “My grandfather was married twice and because the two families had so many children, I have a lot of cousins. I was taught by my mother to respect people and to try and bring out the best in them.”

Hobbs’ husband, Milton, and 14-year old son Reggie, got an up close and personal view of her job.

“Milton and I have been married for 25 years, and there was a time when we lived on the grounds of the Goochland prison,” she said. “As a youngster, Reggie saw inmates working in our yard or around the grounds of the prison. We explained to

him that when people break the law, they are punished and sometimes that includes going to prison.”

There seemed to be a fire in Hobbs eyes when she talked about her new position. When asked if she would recommend a career in corrections to col-lege or high school students, she became serious and thoughtful before answering.

“I’d tell them that they aren’t going to make a lot of money working in the corrections field,” she said. “I’d also tell them if they were looking for a career where they could make a difference, influence change in people’s lives, then yes, they should explore a career in corrections.”

A SPECIALTY PUBLICATION OF RICHMOND SUBURBAN NEWSPAPERS

By Jim RidolphiContributing Wrtiter

Families lined up early for a fall event that seems to grow in popularity each year — Henrico County’s annual Harvest Festival at Meadow Farm and Crump Park.

Beautiful fall weather and a variety of activities were just too much for visitors to pass on, and the crowds were early and eager. “They began lining up at 10 a.m. this morning for the noon opening,” said event organizer Jeannie Murray.

The festival offered something for everyone including cider making, corn

shelling, visits to the Great Pumpkin Patch and cornhusk doll making.

Children especially enjoyed a maze constructed of hay bales, and a steady stream of them wound their way through the geometric puzzle.

For the history buff, the county’s 400th Anniversary Commission offered infor-mation and free goodies surrounding the county’s ongoing birthday celebration.

There were also demonstrations of skills utilized on the farm in past days including woodworking and blacksmithing.

If the petting zoo or tethered hot air balloon rides weren’t enough, there was a variety of music through out the day.

A Good Natured Riot and the Barbara Martin Band entertained on the main stage, and the Henrico High School marching band opened the ceremonies. There was even a presentation by the Richmond Indigenous Gourd Orchestra.

“We have over 50 activities going on here today,” Murray said.

She said planning begins for the next festival when this one ends, and the event relies on more than 50 volunteers to make it a success. “It take almost a full year to plan it,” Murray said.

“This is a signature event for the 400th Anniversary celebration and the response has been great.”

Harvest Festival is fast becoming a family favorite

Contributed Report

Henrico County’s 400th anniversary celebration will turn the spotlight onto community and family his-tory at the “Hunt for Henrico History,” set for 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 5 at the Eastern Henrico Recreation Center, 1440 N. Laburnum Ave.

The free event is the final public event in Henrico’s yearlong 400th anniversary commemoration.

“Hunt for Henrico History” will explore the county’s diverse history through liv-ing-history presentations and historical displays highlight-ing neighborhoods, schools, churches and civic organiza-tions. Residents are encour-aged to share their part in Henrico’s story by bringing photos, historical documents, mementos and other family heirlooms for a show-and-tell segment.

Preservation experts will be

on hand to offer advice for the proper care, handling and storage of these items.

Special activities for kids include arts and crafts and an American Girl program featuring Kaya, the American Indian doll.

The event will take place at Henrico’s newest and largest recreation facility. Opened on Oct. 8, the 25,773-square-foot Eastern Henrico Recreation Center features a regulation high school gymnasium, weight room and fitness cen-ter, dance studio, classrooms and more; the environmentally friendly building was designed and constructed according to the rigorous standards of the LEED program.

The 24-acre site also includes a football complex, 360-meter track, multipurpose athletic field and walking trails.

Mary-Kaitlin Brown, a senior a Deep Run High School, will be holding a book signing of her first book, “Forgive Me,” at Barnes and Noble this Saturday from 3-5 p.m.

The novel, which Brown began writing when she was 15, follows the trial and tribu-lations of 17-year-old Carly, who turns to drink and the party life to numb the pain of neglect by her parents.

“I really want to use my love of writing to honor God and what He’s done in my life,” writes Brown on her Web site.

“I also want to show young kids and teen-agers like myself, that you are not too young to make a difference in our world. Life is such a gift. Always strive to do your best and never, ever give up,” she said.

The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen announces the exhibition “Ning Lee’s Landscape Painting” featur-ing paintings by internationally known artist Ning Lee opens in the Gumenick Family Gallery on Thursday, November 3 with a gallery reception from 7-9pm.

Ning Lee will be present at the opening. His land-scapes captivate viewers with their casual tones, strokes and textures. His goal for his paintings is to capture the mood of the scene rather than the details within the scene. The exhibition continues through Sunday, January 8, 2012.

The Center was interested in exhibiting Ning Lee’s work again after the success of his popular 2009 exhibit in the Gumenick Family Gallery, “Simplicity & Serenity – Ning Lee’s Still Life World.”

Lee was born in Chongqing, a city in Southwest China. He studied at the School of Fine Arts at Southwest Normal University, where he received pro-fessional training for seven years with a focus on a realistic approach to painting being inspired by the Renaissance masters and the seventeenth century Dutch masters.

After obtaining his BFA and MFA from this uni-versity in 1987, he was hired to teach coursed in oil painting. He also worked as a visiting artist at various

art centers both in the United States and Canada in the early 1990s and finally settled down in the New York metro area in 1996.

With exhibits in China, Canada and United States, he has received various awards, and has works in cor-porate and private collections in the US and abroad.

The Gumenick Family Gallery is open Monday through Thursday, 9am-9pm and Friday, 9am to 5pm. The gallery is also open during special events and per-formances. Admission is free. For more information call 804-261-ARTS (2787) or visit the website at www.artsglenallen.com

Bulldogs tame Cougars in straight sets

The Goochland girls’ volleyball continued their run at excellence as they defeated visiting Collegiate in three straight games to claim another non-district victory.

The Bulldogs defeated the Cougars 25-20, 25-23, 25-22, upping their record to 11-3, highlighted by an unblemished slate in the James River District.

Coach Jennifer Erixon feels the non-district match-ups are effective preparation and exposes her team to some schemes they might not nor-mally encounter.

“I love playing non-district games because we don’t ever really know what to expect,” Erixon said. “Each

district is made up of different talent levels, different styles of play, and dif-ferent strategies.

“They are good to play because it keeps my girls on their toes, and forces them to compete. So these non-dis-trict games help to challenge the girls.”

The Bulldogs are currently on a 10 match winning streak and will try to put the finishing touches on a perfect JRD record in the next two weeks.

“We have Randolph-Henry on Wednesday, and Amelia the following Wednesday. Both teams will present a challenge to us, but as long as the girls play as a team, communicate, and play smart volleyball, we will be fine,” Erixon said.

The girls’ successful run is a dra-matic turnaround from last season’s challenges. Erixon said there are some obvious reasons for the better perfor-mance coupled with some intangibles.

“We did switch districts this sea-

son, so that does play a huge roll in the turnaround,” the coach said. “I’ve taught the girls a new offense, and they are working really hard to do it. They continue to get better each game, and I also think that has played a huge part in their success this season.”

Perhaps even more important, the team bought into Erixon’s plan and displayed a fair amount of blind faith. “They were willing to believe in and try the new offense, and they accepted my new coaching style and philosophy.”

The perfect district record is a trib-ute to a group of girls who believe in each other as well as the new coach. Erixon said everyone on the squad had made a contribution to the success, and it was difficult to single out a few standouts.

“This question is really hard because all of the girls have improved a great deal throughout this season,” she said. “Taylor Scruggs is an great

competitor and athlete. Sydney Alvis is a very promising freshmen. Christina Mills and Mesa Willis have both improved as my middle hitters and Lainey Kopczynski has gained a great deal of game knowledge.”

Erixon is counting on the chemis-try and camaraderie to carry the team to the finish line, and beyond.

“If all goes according to plan, we will remain undefeated in the district,” she said. “The girls will need to play some good volleyball and keep their communication up for each of the remaining four district games though. I am confident they are capable of doing it.”Goochland..................................... 25 25 25Collegiate...................................... 20 23 22Highlights: Lainey Kopczynski (G) 5 aces, 3 kills, 2 digs; Sydney Alvis (G) 4 aces, 6 assists, 5 kills; Mesa Willis (G) 2 aces, 2 kills, 4 blocks.

No. 3 Benedictine cannot hold off No. 1 Ireton 22-15

There are tough losses and then there are tough losses. Benedictine suffered one of the latter on Saturday afternoon as the Cadets dropped a heart-breaker to No. 1 ranked Bishop Ireton of Alexandria, 22-15.

Aided by three substantial penalties, the Cardinals spoiled Homecoming for the Cadets with a late game drive that erased a one-point advantage with minutes left in the con-test.

Making it especially hard were the final stats that clearly indicated Cadets’ dominance in most categories. It didn’t matter on the scoreboard.

The Cadets scored first when quarterback David Geary found Charley Meyer for a 35-

Late drive propels Cardinals past Cadetsyard touchdown reception. The conversion was no good and the Cadets led 6-0.

Ireton scored after recover-ing a Cadet fumble and Moses Webb went in from six yards out for a 7-6 lead.

Shortly before the half, Cardinals quarterback Patrick Zingler hit Merid Merid on a 40-yard reception to set the Ireton up deep in Cadets’ ter-ritory. Webb covered the final two yards giving the Cardinals a 14-6 halftime lead.

The Cadets found success on the second series out of the locker room utilizing a wild-cat formation with Meyer at the helm. Running back Corey Downey, who finished the game with 141 yards, covered the final seven yards.

A two-point conversion attempt failed and the Cadets trailed 14-12.

Benedictine spent much of the final quarter driving in Cardinal territory, but Geary’s first field goal attempt to put

the Cadets ahead barely missed to the left.

The Cadets’ Amani Williams picked off a Zingler pass and returned the ball to the Cardinals’ 25-yard line. Meyer got another chance to kick the Cadets into the lead and connected on a 24-yard field goal.

Trailing by a point, 15-14, the Cardinals set up shop in Cadet territory and drove to the Benedictine 9-yard line.

Led by Nigel Williams, the Cadets’ defense answered the call and by fourth down the Cardinals had lost yardage back to the 14-yard line.

They opted for a field goal and kicker Nick Galdos’ effort never reached altitude. But the Cadets’ seemingly game end-ing jubilation was short lived. Officials gathered and marked off a roughing the kicker pen-alty against Benedictine.

On their sixth play from inside the 10 yard line, a direct snap to Andrew Bladen pro-

duced the winning touchdown and the Cardinals converted for two to make the final, 22-15.

“I thought this was an incredibly hard fought football game between two really good teams, and we’re just fortu-nate to get out with a win,” said Cardinals coach Tony Verducci.

Cadets’ coach Greg Lilly was pleased with his teams’ ability to fight back and gain the lead, but was not as impressed with Benedictine’s first half play.

“We had some opportu-nities and made some offen-sive mistakes, especially at the skilled positions,” he said. “To our kids’ credit, they bounced back in the second half.”

With tough games remain-ing on the Cadets schedule, Lilly isn’t ready to consider a rematch just yet, but Verducci was not as restrained. “I have a sneaky suspicion these two teams will be seeing each other again.”

Homecoming crowd sees offensive show

There was no doubt the homecoming crowd pack-ing the stands was pleased to see Goochland vanquish yet another foe in demonstrative fashion on Friday night when the Bulldogs (7-0, 4-0 James River District) rolled over visit-ing Cumberland 49-6.

Winning only the toss on the evening, the Dukes (2-5, 1-3) started deep in their own territory but looked like they might make something happen when they recovered their own blocked punt on the Bulldog 41. But three plays later, they punted again to set up the Dogs for their first drive from the Bulldogs’ 16 and the game quickly got lopsided.

Goochland moved the chains three times on a Patrick Clore run, a Jake Martin carry and a Cody Johnson pass to Nathan Adams.

On third down slippery field conditions from an earlier rain caused Mitchell Brice slip for no gain. Looking at fourth and four on the Dukes’ 29-yard line, Goochland coach Joe Fowler elected to attempt moving the chains rather than send one of his two world-class kickers to the field.

“We just feel like we were in a position where we could get the first down,” Fowler said. “If we didn’t get the first down, we felt like defense was playing well enough to stop them. Like everything, it is a calculated risk and we felt like it was a good calculated risk.”

The fruit of his decision was demonstrated when Clore bull-dozed through the line, hauling Duke defenders for an eight-yard carry.

Brice carried for seven and Clore, who had 12 carries for 122 yards on the night, moved

the chains again setting up his first of three TD carries on a nine yard run.

Colby Cooke followed with his first of seven consecutive extra point kicks on the eve-ning.

With a touchdown in their pocket the Dogs never looked back running the score to 49-0.

Clore added his second TD on a one-yard run, Brice scored on a 26-yard run, Mason Engel, Brice and Martin each scored on passes from Johnson and Clore closed out the night with a 10-yard TD run.

The Dukes’ only score came when Goochland changed their defensive lineup late in the fourth quarter. Cumberland junior back Justus Dowdy ran in four yards for the Dukes’ only six points of the night.

The Bulldogs limited the Dukes’ top rusher Justus Dowdy to 72 yards on 16 carries, nearly half of which came on a single

run (32 yards). Cumberland’s defensive

strategy was to concentrate on the run. “We focused on the run tonight, and I felt pretty good about the run defense,” said Dukes head coach Mike Sutton. :Brice was a tough one to bring down, and (Martin) and (Mason Engel) are tough running backs. Of course their fullback (Clore) is a stud too; and we focused all

week on stopping that run. They got us on the pass tonight. One thing had to give up; and tonight we had to give it up on the pass.”

On the night, Johnson was 10 of 15 for 115 yards and three TDs for the Bulldogs.

Never completely satisfied with his team’s performance Fowler felt there was still room for improvement from his Bulldogs. “We gotta keep plugging away

and hopefully we’ll get better each week and make our way towards the playoffs,” he said.

Running up big scores so often, a team could be tempted to by boredom and make mis-takes. “We just try to work on things that we didn’t have success with and on things we hadn’t worked on,” Fowler said. “Just try to continue getting better each successive play.”

Such a high scoring offense almost overshadows the success of the Bulldog defense that launched a tenacious front making critical stops to help set up successful offensive drives. Contributing to the Bulldogs’ success were Scott Pearce and Jess McLaughlin with seven tackles apiece.

Brice, with 72 rushing, and 22 yards receiving, scored a 26 yard TD run and made a 15-yard TD reception. “The (offensive) line was blocking great,” he said. “(The defense) was doing pretty good. They had a lot of stops.”

Fowler attributed the perfor-mance of his defense to all the work on the front end invested by each player. “It’s nothing that they’re doing now,” he said. “It’s the stuff they’ve done in the sum-mer and the time leading up to here. Coach Sumlin and our defensive coaches do a great job and the kids worked hard in the off-season. You’re not going to

get any better once you get to this point. The kids have improved in the weight room and con-ditioning-wise, and it’s helping them out.”

Even with such a successful run as the Bulldogs have had, Fowler knows his team has a tough stretch of opponents to close out the regular season. “We just want to keep getting better each week,” he said. “Buckingham, Amelia and Randolph-Henry are all very good football teams. We’ll defi-nitely have our hands full; so, we’ll just keep our eyes on the prize and just focus on the next game. That’s all you can do.”

Just how good is Goochland kicker Colby Cooke? Good enough to make a PAT laying flat on his back.

On Friday night the Vanderbilt commitment approached the ball for his fifth extra point of the night when suddenly his feet went out from under him.

“The muddy conditions and how bad the field was looking in that spot after we’d been playing on it all night, it was just so hard to keep traction,” he said.

Despite falling, Cooke still con-nected. “I don’t even know how I made contact with the ball because I completely lost it as I was sliding,” he said.

Laying on his back, Cooke watched as the ball sailed up and cleared the goalposts for the point. What was running through his head? “Wow, I cant’ believe that just happened in front of all these hundreds and hundreds of peo-ple,” he said. “But still seeing the referees put their hands up as I made it made me feel better than missing it a looking like a complete idiot on the field.”
