Plans

compiled and coalesced into a regulating plan that provides a workable guide for residents, business community and planning staff to shepherd development over time within these two unique Villages.

“Through this review process, Timmons will propose a framework for the plans that will focus on regulating principles that identify appropriate development zones while balancing the unique character of each village and highlighting preservation,” said Sherry. “Once completed, the plans will include a guide for future land use decisions to allow for flexibility of development within acceptable guidelines.”

The next steps for Timmons include a review of all community input and work sessions with the planning commission. Over the next several months, Goochland County and Timmons will hold community update meetings to present the revised plans.

Goochland History Revealed

DOCTORS FIRED FATAL SHOTS: GOOCHLAND’S LOCUST GROVE HOME TIED TO TWO UNTIMELY DEATHS

situated on route 522, Locust Grove is associated with two Goochland tragedies. Walter h. Pleasants, who was shot in 1838 by dr. Isaac Vaughan in a fit of jealous rage over the affections of Miss charlotte harris, is buried here. In later years Locust Grove was bought by dr. George reavis. On the night of March 2, 1927, Gilbert Lacy knocked at the door of Locust Grove and demanded the doctor come out and fight. reavis fired a shot out the front door to frighten Lacy away and went to bed. next morning, Lacy was found dead in the yard. The trial in Goochland met with a deadlocked jury. It was then moved to Orange county where reavis was acquitted.

What we are looking for is a unicorn adopter for a unicorn dog. Wise Guy, yes, the famous dog that was dumped near the Wise Choice on Ashland Road, has been with us while we have been improving his manners, getting him neutered and up to date on his vetting. Mainly we have been trying to nail down exactly what we are looking for in this unicorn adopter. Wise Guy is a young, spirited fella, with a ton of energy. This doggo will literally play fetch with you until your arm falls off. Let’s hope you are an ambidextrous unicorn. Have a few balls handy though because he will drop one at your feet as he waits for you to throw the other. We recom-

From 1 asphalt, stone and is currently involved in both the construction of the new Goochland Elementary School and the Fairground Road roundabout project.

Of course, several years ago, back when he was a student at Goochland High School and a standout on the Bulldog’s basketball team, Snead didn’t know exactly what his future plans might be. He says his parents Brian and Shaylla had both demonstrated a strong work ethic and the need to go after the things he wanted in life, but it wasn’t until he was finished pursuing his Liberal Studies degree at Longwood that Snead truly felt the calling to see how far he could take his burgeoning business.

Snead already knew that much of any trucking operation’s success comes down to a combination of networking and reputation, so he quickly set about making mend you have a fence handy as well because he will chase anything that moves, including squirrels, birds, etc. If it moves, he wants to investigate, so small kids are prob- ably out of the picture as well. We think Wise Guy will place best as an only pet given his reactive nature. He’s met a few dogs on his trail walks and gets overstimulated, and cats, we’re afraid, are 110% out. Our volunteers and staff have been working on basic commands with him and he is very smart. We believe an experienced dog owner will get the most out of him, once he gets into a routine and is able to focus on his training. Unfortunately, being in the animal shelter is not the best environment for a unicorn like Wise Guy, too much distraction and activity. So, if you are interested, reach under your hat and see if you have a single horn starting to sprout. If you do, come on down to the Adoption Center and ask to meet our resident unicorn Wise Guy. as the business has grown. Giving back to the community has also been a strong motivator for him: Losing his beloved grandmother to breast cancer inspired Snead to emblazon each of his trucks with awareness themes ranging from cancer to mental health to ALS. to grow,” he said. “I’m not afraid to fail. If being successful means taking a risk, I will take a risk.” sure that any new customer he worked for knew they could count on him.

The Goochland Animal Shelter is located at 1900 Hidden Rock Lane in Goochland. For more information on the many pets still in need of homes, call (804) 556-5302. You also can visit the shelter on Facebook at “Goochland County Animal Control.” The shelter’s hours are Tuesday and Wednesday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m.; Thursday 10 a.m. – 7 p.m.; Friday 10 a.m. – 4 p.m. and Saturday 10 a.m. -2 p.m. Anyone wishing to make a monetary donation to the shelter is asked to make donations payable to Goochland Pet Lovers.

“Dump-trucking is very competitive,” Snead says, “and it’s really about building relationships with customers. The most important thing they need to know is that if I’m going to do the job I’m going to make sure it’s done right.”

Snead said the fact that he enjoys the work helps him get through the stressful days, and that staying organized has been critical

Snead’s father Brian eventually retired from trucking and turned his two trucks over to his son, bringing the number of trucks in the BJ’s Hauling fleet to 15. But the most important thing his parents ever gave him, Snead said, was the understanding that hard work is essential to success.

“My parents always stressed that if you want something you have to go out and get it,” Snead says. “And I’ve always stuck with that.”

As for where he eventually hopes to take the business, Snead said he hasn’t quite figured that part out yet. What he does know is that he isn’t afraid to aim high.
