For Christine Fauver, the path to restaurant ownership began at a table. Specifically, it began with the long, wooden community table at the Goochland Restaurant, the iconic local eatery where Fauver’s husband Roscoe liked to have his coffee in the mornings.

On Aug. 4, Jaelynn set up a lemonade stand in front of her grandmother’s shop, Shear Wildness, in the Courthouse Village. Driven by her dedication and passion, Jaelynn worked 14 hours over two days in the heat. Her goal was to donate 50% of what she collected, expecting to raise $50 to $100. When word got around, however, donations started flooding in. By the end of the day on Aug. 5, Jaelynn had raised over $500. Shear Wildness donated an additional $200, bringing her total to a little overInstead$750. of keeping 50%, Jaelynn decided to donate $700 to the Animal Shelter, keeping only $50 for her supplies.

“It is heartwarming that someone who wanted to volunteer with us, but couldn’t because of her age, would look for another way to help homeless pets in our community,” said Job Greene, director of animal care and protection for Goochland County.

The Powell brothers started playing for the “Honeydrippers,” a community baseball team, in the 1940s. Their vivid memory is practically the only “record” there is about the games and people who enjoyed baseball during the years they played. The brothers returned to that old spot recently. While there, they talked about the games they played on that land, the fun they had, and the many people who came to watch. While the place is special to the brothers and others who called the spot their home diamond, it is not the only one. All across Goochland County, and throughout the state, baseball fields like this could be found in most communities. Today, almost no evidence of the former ball fields exists, except in the minds of the few players and spectators who are still around to tell about them—and they have plenty to say about how they played or enjoyed watching others play the sport. To document these stories for generations to come, the Jackson Black Smith Shop has initiated a project to collect stories, photographs and other memorabilia about baseball in the local AfricanAmerican community. If you know of anyone who played community baseball in decades past or have a photo of a player (in uniform or not), the Jackson Blacksmith Shop would like to hear from you. Contact Jeffery Mabry at (804) 5568160 if you have information or memorabilia to share, or for more information on this project. as an opportunity to serve the community.”Ithasn’talways been easy, the Fauvers admit, and the learning curve has been steep at times. Christine says she has tried to face even the most daunting challenges with humor, and insists the patience and encouragement they have received from the community has lifted her up again and again. “We’ve had a long list of ‘Oh my goodness, I’m so sorry,” she says of their first few weeks in business, but they are now getting into a solid groove. Ticket times are down and new offerings are hitting the menu.
By Jeffery Mabry Contributing Writer As young boys, Ernest Powell and his younger brother Alvin lived off Jackson Shop Road. They would walk about 2 miles through the woods to get to their two-room, wooden school on Dogtown Road. Along the way, they would pass the place where their father once played community baseball. By high school, the brothers would be playing baseball themselves, just like their father, but just a short distance away, on the other side of Dogtown Road.

On a recent late-summer afternoon, as she and her small staff were closing up (the restaurant is open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., seven days a week), Christine happily talked about updates she and her husband have planned for the interior of the restaurant, and ways they can continue to connect with the community.“It’snotjust a restaurant, it’s memories being made,” Christine said. “And we’re just so thankful for the community for letting us be a part of their day.” Going on in Goochland

VDOT estimates the reduction in travel time, fuel and idling at these signals will result in an annual savings of approximately $2.34 million for Additionally,drivers.VDOT estimates that the $250,000 retiming project will lead to 13,000 less pounds of carbon monoxide emissions— and approximately 700 pounds less nitrous oxide emissions annually. The 41 signals within the project limits begin at the intersection of Route 250 and Glenside Drive in Henrico and stretch west to the intersection of Route 250 and Manakin Road.Traffic signal retiming and coordination projects are one of the most cost-effective ways of improving traffic flow along a corridor. Project goals for the Route 250 corridor included scheduling signal timing to allow groups of vehicles to travel through a series of signals with minimal or no stopping. The project is also expected to enhance safety, because vehicles will stop less often in the corridor, reducing the chance of rear-end crashes.

County making progress on Broadband goal MetroCreative Illustrationsee Internet > 9
By Roslyn Ryan Editor
For those living in areas of Goochland without reliable access to high speed internet, the county’s announcement last December that it had finally found a way to get almost the entire county connected was met with excitement—and perhaps even a tinge of skepticism. It had been a long road after all, with a few false starts, but the county’s current partnership with Firefly Fiber has already made significant headway. Recently, the Gazette caught up with Paul Drumwright, the county’s administrative services manager, to check in on the progress.
Where is the county right now in terms of meeting the goal of providing universal broadband access for Gooochland? Goochland County is on track to meet the goal of providing universal broadband access to unserved areas of the county as defined by the Virginia Telecommunication Initiative (VATI) and the Virginia Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD). To reach this goal, the county is working with two separate broadband providers, Firefly Fiber Broadband, a wholly owned subsidiary of Central Virginia Electric Cooperative (CVEC), and Port 80 Internet Service Solution to expand fiber-to-thepremise broadband using a compilation of state and federal grants and other funding sources.Firefly’s efforts are part of their Regional Internet Service Expansion (RISE) project and includes components with different partners including CVEC, Dominion Energy, Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC) and the Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission (TJPDC). The CVEC component involves the Cartersville & Shannon Hill substations; a Firefly component involves a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Rural Utility Service (RUS) ReConnect grant program, a portion of the TJPDC component involves Dominion Energy and the other portion involves REC, both of which are funded through a state VATI grant. To date CVEC and Firefly have built over 82 miles of fiber in Goochland on the CVEC system. Firefly is expanding fiber-to-the-premise in portions of central Goochland and western Goochland including portions of the Crozier and Oilville areas. Maps of these areas are available at

Over the next few months, Firefly Fiber Broadband and Port 80 Internet Service Solution’s broadband projects will advance through different stages ranging from field survey and data collection, fiber design and engineering, make ready engineering and construction, fiber installation and splicing, service extensions or drops to homes and businesses, and in-home and business installation. It is important for citizens to know while they may not be able to see it, work is actively occurring on all facets of the project to extend broadband service. Components of Firefly’s RISE project are in each of these different stages. Residents can expect to see increased contractor activity in the community as components of the project advance into progressive stages. Citizens in the Firefly areas should pre-register now at www.fireflyva.com, while those in the Cartersville and Shannon Hill CVEC areas are able to register for broadband ser-

Contributing Columnist Saturday nights sure aren’t what they used to be around here. Fifty years ago, I’d be on the second day of a birthday celebration that had no end in sight; but this particular Saturday on the day following my birthday I found myself searching for a good movie or other entertainment on television.Istopped the channel search at something that is surely a statement of just how starved America is for competetive sports events. At first I thought the tease at the bottom of the screen must be mistaken; but, it had my attention at “National Cow Chip Throwing Championship.”Now,forthose who think this is just some Johnny Come Lately invention from the period of a COVIDincarcerated public, think again. Turns out the event is an annual event that has enormous support in the midwest.The town hosting the event, Beaver, Oklahoma, prides itself as the Cow Chip Throwing Capital of the World, an event Google describes more vividly that I could.

On Aug. 2, the Goochland County Board of Supervisors recognized zoning administrator Anita Barnes for the exemplary service she has rendered to the Board of Supervisors, county staff and citizens of Goochland County during her 33 years of service. Barnes, who began her tenure on July 10, 1989, was promoted to zoning administrator in October of 2010. According to the resolution presented to her that evening, Barnes has worked in the Planning Office since it was a two-person office and has extensive institutional knowledge of its working. She has also “continuously provided outstanding customer service to the citizens of Goochland and the development community.”“AnitaBarnes has been the gatekeeper for all development applications, was responsible for execution of the Subdivision Ordinance [and] organized and maintained files for all of the Planning Department,” read the resolution, which also praised Barnes’ volunteer service with local organizations including animal rescue groups in theHere,county.Barnes receives the resolution of recognition from Goochland County board of supervisors chair Neil Spoonhower. for to
As children across Goochland head back to school, area drivers are once again being urged to use an extra measure of caution when heading to work in the morning or running errands in the afternoon. It only takes a moment, after all, for tragedy to occur, and a few seconds of inattention can have serious—or even fatal— consequences. Less than a year ago, a 9-year-old old boy in Henry County was left fighting for his life after being struck by a truck while getting off a school bus. Just a few years earlier, two young girls lost their lives in Dillwyn after they were hit while crossing the road to meet their bus. It isn’t always the fault of the driver when these kinds of events occur, and sometimes even the most careful planning can’t account for a child making a mistake or an impulsive decision. But this is why it is absolutely imperative that motorists remain aware any time they see children waiting for, boarding, or disembarking from a Accordingbus. to the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, drivers are required by law to: Stop for stopped school buses with flashing red lights and an extended stop sign when

“You want a kid back there that’s going to make plays when they have to make plays, but at the same time, you want a kid back there that’s not going to shoot yourself in the foot,” he said.At running back, it remains unclear who has stood out enough to gain the edge as the primary ballcarrier, but the team intends to use a committee approach throughout the season. After moving away from the Wing-T formation that was a staple of past success, the Bulldogs will be relying heavier on more single-back formations. Opportunities will likely fall to experienced players like seniors Jamason Pryor, Reese Vincent, Malachi Tyler, Brandon Gibson, Baraka Ganyuma or Jonathan Lease.
Bulldogs football is ready for kickoff
After its opening season in the Jefferson District ended with a 6-6 record and a playoff loss to Meridian, Goochland returns locked and loaded for Year 2 in the district with a team that brings plenty of senior leadership to the fold, but also loads of question marks that’ll need to be addressed during the season.
The Bulldogs will first need to find ways to replace their skill players on both ends of the field, with the team coming in with essentially a completely open competition for spots on quarterback, running back and wide receiver on offense as well as at cornerback and linebacker on“Theredefense.are some spots where people need to step up and show that they’re willing to do this,” head coach Alex FruthFruthsaid.said the team’s scrimmages will play a vital role in forming a depth chart that can carry the team into its first game, though the depth chart will remain fluid while the team works out its best lineups.
“That’s a big deal because there’s not as much time between plays and we see how these kids handle success or disappointment, and I think from our scrimmage on Friday, we saw how they started to sort things out,” Fruth said. Last year’s offense was heavy on returning starters, including quarterback C.J. Towles, tackle Alex Rosenbaum, center Carter Payne, fullback Jason Woodson, and wide receivers Eyan Pace and Zion Stoltz. But Fruth says this year’s competitions include a three-headed quarterback battle, three running backs fighting for snaps and five receivers are battling for a spot in the top-4.
“The seniors on our offensive line, those are our leaders,” Fruth said. “They’ve done a really good job making sure we see Bulldogs

The team’s offensive line will undoubtedly be the strongest position group heading into the season, posing few questions about the group’s ability to play as a cohesive unit.With all five returning with starting experience, there’s just one non-senior lineman in the lineup with sophomore Daly Scruggs at right guard. Senior tackles Gavin Hazelton and Hayden Raley, center Easton Bowman and left guard Josh Usry have already proven to be the team’s most respected leaders early on in the season.
“He does a good job of understanding what we’re asking him to do,” Fruth said. “I’ve been really happy that he’s not pressed on anything.” Rivers is also competing with sophomores Malachi

At wide receiver, Derek Pearce enters the season with a chance at more pass-catching opportunities with a deep receiver group that features guys like Kedrick Quarles, Cameron Boddie and Nik Cotner, among many others that are vying for playing time. Though inexperienced, there are plenty of options for Fruth and his staff to rotate through in order to find an effective group of starters.

On defense, Fruth hopes to see the team embody a physical, tough identity and that starts on the defensive line, which needs to replace the impact of multiple departing veterans from last year’s team.
“Personally, I thought it was really stressful,” Raley said. “I put a lot of pressure on myself. It’s always been my dream to play college football.”Entering his senior season with the Bulldogs as a three-year starter, Raley and his fellow linemen are primed to be the strongest aspects of Goochland’s football team this year after impressing with last year’s team. With each powerful performance in the trenches, college teams quickly began taking notice, leading to multiple schools reaching out to send Raley over for a visit.After visits to prestigious universities like Harvard, UVA, Towson, Dartmouth, Raley says the recruiting traction dried up for months until February, when on a visit to Dartmouth, he received that fateful message from the William & Mary staff expressing their interest in him. From there, the Tribe quickly became a school at the top of his list. With a trip to their campus in Williamsburg, Raley got to stand at midfield in Zable Stadium, talk to head coach Mike London and have serious, in-depth conversations with offensive line coach Mario“HeAcitelli.talked to me about how much they love me and how I’m a really great player and that they really wanted me,” he said of his conversations with London. They kept communication with Raley consistently, with Raley finding that they truly cared about him as both a player and a person as well as the fit between what he wanted to do in college and how that worked with what the school had to offer. Add in the UVA connections with London and his staff, where Raley’s father is an alumnus, and it felt like a clear top choice in his list of potential schools. Once they told him that he was their top target for the tackle position in his class, they quickly approached him with a full scholarship offer. Even if it was his first offer, Raley felt like he had all he needed in order to make a decision.“Ithought to myself, there’s so many great things about living there,” he said. “So I was like, I think I’m really close to my decision. I didn’t really care if I got any other offers.” Now locked in with the Tribe, Raley can focus on his senior season with the Bulldogs. This year’s team is a special one to him, and he says he’s looking forward to one last year with his fellow offensive lineman that he considers some of his best friends. The team as a whole looks to be something special in Raley’s eyes. He’s seeing how the team has responded to the words and actions of its veteran leaders while also finding ways to bond through team dinners and those moments between the hard work found in a typical practice. Though there’s plenty of Bulldogs that’ll be seeing significant play time for the first time in their high school careers, he’s seen them put in the work necessary to succeed.
“I’ve never felt a bond that I have with my teammates,” he said. “We’re very close, and we’re all very focused at practice.”

Bulldogs continued from >7 do things the right way on the field, in the locker room and in the classroom, and that’s a big deal. I’ve been really happy with them, and it has rubbed off on the other kids and it shows.”
“There’s a lot of times where I watch him and I’m just like, ‘this kid makes plays all over the place,’ which is not a shock to us, it’s more just about how good he can be,” Fruth said.
Seniors Zach Griffith, Deontae Quarles, Seth Conrad, Charlie Darr and Chase Breedlove will have chances to use that experience to gain a stronghold on snaps in a position group that’ll likely see plenty of rotations and substitutions.The linebacker position will be headlined by junior Corey Mullins, who has emerged as one of the top players on the defense in his second season as starter at inside linebacker. Mullins can safely be considered a coach on the field.
Next to Mullins is Cotner, who is also a potential name to watch as an emerging impact player in the middle of the field.In the secondary, Pryor is again a name to watch as a guy meant to handle an offense’s top receiving threat, while guys like Quarles, Tyler and junior Jack Alston will receive chances in the back of the field. On special teams, Wake Forest-bound senior Tyler Black will continue to provide stability for the team’s kicking unit as both a scorer on PATs and as a placekicker. With the season just on the horizon and still loads of questions left unanswered, it’s primed to be an exciting season of football in Goochland as the Bulldogs look for their next star players to emerge.

Leading the charge one last time in the Bulldogs trenches, Raley’s ready for the challenge of leading his team through a tough field of opponents, while also preparing to soon live out his dream of seeing the field at the collegiate level.

Raley embraces leadership role in final year with Bulldogs
NEWS: What’s Going on in Goochland County
The winner was an unassuming looking guy who chucked his first attempt more than 100 feet, easily claiming this year’s title. It’s far short from the 188 foot record toss recorded years ago. The new winner was crowned and the town celebrated with an annual festival, a five 5K run and the crowning of this year’s Cow Chip King and Queen. For fear of overly offending some readers, I won’t offer details on some of the items offered at the Bake Sale that were displayed as the event wrapped up for the year. I’m thinking this may be the only time in my life I get to witness this Oklahoma tradition, and I hope I’ve provided the respect it deserves.
grant funded area: Citizens have received a communication from Firefly, as they have already started field verification and fiber design work, despite the significant delays within the USDA getting approval to begin construction. This project component was finally released by the USDA last week, though Firefly anticipated this approval in February. Firefly’s contracting partner, a company named NTD, will have logoed pickups in the area performing the field survey and data collection work necessary to design the system. After that, construction will begin in the service area for this project, which will be all underground construction in the specific areas in which the ReConnect grant facilities will beDominionbuilt. Energy electric service area: Most of the VATI project area will consist of fiber construction within the Dominion Energy electric territory. This project interfaces to the ReConnect project areas but they do not overlap. The construction in this area will be performed first by Dominion as it places fiber on its poles, which will then be leased to Firefly. From the Dominion poles, Firefly will extend laterals and home service connections either attaching to Dominion poles or running underground along roadways. Dominion has already started field data gathering and engineering. Construction will start in early 2023 for these areas.
REC Service Area: The northern REC service areas are included in work being done on the REC Mt Hope substation area as part of the VATI project. Preliminary fiber design for this area has been completed. Make ready engineering is being performed and make ready construction will soon follow. Firefly anticipates the fiber construction on the Mt Hope substation starting in the fall of this year (2022) and the final connections taking place in the spring and summer of next year (2023).

Several years ago Goochland installed stop-arm cameras as an added level of accountability, a move that almost certainly led to some drivers thinking twice before attempting to slip past a stopped school bus. Still, in a world where distractions follow us everywhere, it’s worth remembering that accidents can happen in seconds.On behalf of all Goochland children, we ask that drivers obey speed limits, avoid phone use while behind the wheel and keep students’ safety a top priority.Not only is it the law, it’s the right thing to do for your community.
For a project this size, there are many complications, and they change daily. Firefly has been able to navigate most of them. The largest recent issue has been the problem of other utilities not locating their underground facilities and marking them as required, which prevents Firefly’s service drop crews from being able to work as quickly. They are working with the utilities and through the state regulatory agencies to address this problem.Previously, Firefly experienced significant delays within the USDA getting approval to begin construction of their USDA ReConnect grant funded area. This project component was finally released by the USDA at the end of July, Firefly had anticipated this approval in February.
tion area. The next phase of construction is for the service extensions or service “drops” to be placed which connect individual homes and businesses, which have registered for service, to the main fiber lines. After the service line is placed and spliced, Firefly calls and emails the subscriber to let them know they can schedule their Firefly in-home install for the router and have service turned on. Generally, the inhome install can be scheduled within one to two weeks after the service line is in place. If a subscriber wants to transfer their old phone number to a new phone service, it is called “porting” the number and the process to have the incumbent carrier transfer the number takes two to three weeks so the install could be just a bit more after the service extension installation.ReConnect
