BOS defers decision on Songbird to September Residents living near the site are concerned about development’s density By Roslyn Ryan Editor

A planned development project in Goochland’s eastern end remains on hold after county supervisors voted to defer a decision on whether to approve a rezoning request for the property. Approval of the request, made by Towne & Country Realty Partners, LLC and Joy-Scott, LLC, would pave the way for a 130-lot subdivision at the southwest corner of Hockett Rd and Songbird Lane. The project was approved with a 5-0 vote by the county Planning Commission in June, and developers have proposed cash proffers of $9,810 per lot to offset the impact of the development on local infrastructure. But while developers have noted that they have the support of many nearby property owners — some of whom spoke during the July 6 Board of Supervisors meeting or submitted letters of support prior to the meeting — several other residents living near the site of the planned development said they saw it as a poor fit for the area.

HAULING HISTORY: It took a team of 30 people — not to mention the efforts of the Goochland County Sheriff’s Office, VDOT and numerous other organizations — to transport the historic Short Pump Grocery and Short Pump Garage 28 miles from the former Field Day of the Past site in Rockville to their new home at Rassawek in Columbia, where they will remain part of the property’s collection of historic structures. The buildings will be on full display during Rassawek’s planned Autumn Festival on Oct. 23 and 24, 2021. For more on Field Day’s new home, see page 5.

School division earns honors for Heavy Equipment Operator program

Contributed report

With construction booming in our community, the demand for skilled workers created an opportunity for Goochland County Public Schools (GCPS) to develop a program that met a need and opened doors for students. And now those efforts are receiving statewide recognition. The Virginia School Boards Association

(VSBA) recently recognized the school division’s efforts in their annual Awards for Excellence in Workforce Readiness awards program. Goochland’s entry, Utility and Heavy Equipment Operators: Building the Foundation for a Career, was one of only nine programs throughout the Commonwealth to be honored by VSBA, see Schools > 2

Schools continued from >1 earning second place in the Under 5,000 Students category. “From our lab to our twoacre dig site, GCPS students learn the skills they need to go from our high school directly into well-paying jobs,” said Bruce Watson, director of Career and Technical Education (CTE). “This would not be possible without the support, tools, equipment and opportunities we receive from our School Board and our business partners.” To prepare GCPS graduates to be college and career ready, the division’s CTE courses merge academic knowledge and technical skills in realworld applications. GCPS is one of only two school divisions in Virginia to offer Utility/Heavy Construction courses that provide students

with both the knowledge and the hands-on skills needed to secure a job as a construction equipment operator. Students learn about site grading and development, excavation, concrete structures, pipe laying, road building, and other topics. In a second course, students also study soil, learn to read blueprints, and have the opportunity to gain experience in operating bulldozers, backhoes, front-end loaders, excavators, and motor graders. Completion of these courses prepares students for the certification exam for medium/ heavy truck technician or parts specialist. The VSBA awards program was created by the organization’s Task Force on Workforce Readiness to highlight exemplary programs in Virginia’s public schools focused on preparing the state’s future workforce.

NEWS: What’s Going on in Goochland County

Serving Goochland County

State agency provides further direction on bird feeding issue Editor’s Note: In our July 15 edition, the Goochland Gazette published a report provided by the Virginia Tech Department of Fish and Wildlife Conservation concerning a recent uptick in unexplained bird deaths. While that report urged residents across the state to avoid feeding birds, more recent guidance from the state Department of Wildlife Resources suggests that those living in our area may not have to forgo feeding birds. Contributed report

Although the US National Wildlife Health Center has not modified their original recommended guidance on what homeowners, especially those who feed birds, should be doing to combat the problem, a number of state wildlife programs within the area affected by this event have modified their own guidance statements on this outbreak. Included among these states is Virginia, where the Department of Wildlife Resources (DWR) recently amended its previous request that everyone stop all feeding activity. Because of the apparent reduction in the number of new cases

Songbird continued from >1 low density residential development, over half a dozen speakers told supervisors that the proposed density of 1.99 units per acre was simply too high and would exacerbate traffic problems and other issues negatively impacting the area. “We’re not saying ‘no’ growth,” insisted Goochland

being reported and fewer specimens displaying symptoms of physical impairment or death are being detected, personnel with DWR believe this event may be abating or, for many parts of the Commonwealth, may never have impacted areas of the state. As a result, the agency has modified its ban on feeding to now exclude areas outside what is believed to be the zone of affected impact. In essence, for people who live outside the greater Washington DC and Northern Virginia region, regular feeding can resume provided that all feeders used for that purpose are taken down, emptied (and unused seed thrown away), washed/cleaned, and disinfected with a 10 percent bleach solution every 3-4 days. Because the definitive agent(s) responsible for causing the bird illness has not yet be identified or isolated, some disagreement obviously exists among experts about whether safeguards should be relaxed or if doing so may be premature. This “difference of opinion” has led to some confusion within the public

as to what advice should be followed. The recent statement of DWR represents the official position of authorities here in Virginia, so it is the most pertinent standard to follow in this state. At this time, there is no evidence to suggest that hummingbirds are among the list of species commonly impacted (blue jays, starlings, grackles, robins, etc.) by whatever the suspect agent may be. Those outside the zone would be unaffected, but are urged to embrace good hygiene with any hummingbird feeders — as a normal routine, all hummingbird food dispensers should be taken down, emptied, cleaned and disinfected a minimum of once every 2 weeks, regardless of whether the liquid has been finished or not. Given the high sugar content of the liquids, they are notoriously vulnerable to bacterial contamination and black molds, especially in higher temperatures and higher humidity conditions; thus, the contents routinely should be discarded and the feeders cleansed thoroughly to prevent making the birds ill.

resident Jonathan Lyle, who spoke on behalf of several other attendees. “We are just saying let’s do what the Comprehensive Plan suggests.” Lyle called the current proposal “a great plan in the wrong location,” adding that it will be difficult for the county to reach its previously stated goal of having a 30 percent business base if it continues to keep adding high density residential development.

After over an hour of back and forth discussion, supervisors ultimately decided that they wanted developers to come back with a revised proposal that would address the density issue and several other outstanding questions. District 2 Supervisor Neil Spoonhower was the sole vote of opposition to the ultimately successful motion to defer the matter to the board’s September meeting.

Field Day finds new home in Amelia County Contributed report

Field Day of the Past, one of Virginia’s best loved events, is moving to Redfield Farm in Amelia County, and will host its 29th annual event September 17-19. The move comes after a search which lasted more than a year to find a new site for the show. In 2019, the RockvilleCenterville Steam & Gas Historical Association, host of the annual Field Day of the Past, lost its lease on the property in Goochland County where the event took place for almost three decades. The loss left organizers scrambling to find a new home for its myriad collections of artifacts, antique buildings and equipment, and varied attractions. Last year, COVID-19 all but halted the search, which resumed early this year. The Amelia site was located in the spring and negotiations have been ongoing since that time, with an agreement reached only recently. Field Day of the Past grew from a one-day community event in 1992 to a three-day extravaganza which drew more than 40,000 people in its last years in Goochland, with visitors coming from up and down the East Coast to experience or participate in this yearly event. Visitors from foreign countries have frequently come through the gates. The show also appeals to a wide range of interests and to people of all ages. Its program includes music, historic presentations, antique machinery--much of which is operational--and a plethora of other attractions designed to entertain families. Volunteers and exhibitors also come from far and wide to show off their talents, skills, and antique treasures. One volunteer from Texas takes a yearly vacation to run an exhibit at Field Day. With its agricultural and educational roots, Field Day has

featured traditional lifestyles of America’s past through sorghum molasses making, ham smoking, sawmilling, blacksmithing and similar trade demonstrations. The display of large diesel engines and small “putt putt” engines emphasizes the Industrial Era in America. Over the years historic presentations were added to the program mixed with typical county fair activities such as a carnival, arts and crafts, commercial and corporate vendors and truck, tractor and lawn mower pulls. Children’s activities, music and historic buildings provided Field Day of the Past with a flavor of country homecomings and the historic buildings added yet another dimension to the event’s persona. Volunteers and organizers are now faced with a challenging opportunity to reimagine both the event’s image and its dual purposes of providing educational family entertainment and agriculturally-based exhibits and demonstrations and establish a new site. Preliminary planning in anticipation of finding a new home has been ongoing since 2019. Collections have been re-evaluated and inventoried, exhibits dismantled, and buildings have been emptied with the hopes of finding a new home. Although it will be another year before the move is complete, with the finalization of the agreement with Redfield Farm in Amelia to use the property as the organization’s new home base, plans will begin in earnest, and frantically, to prepare the grounds and complete programming for the 2021 show in September. “The agreement on the land was only recently put in ink,” said Terry McNeely, association president. “Now we have two months to produce an event which usually takes

13 months to put in place. It’s a tight deadline and we have lots of work ahead of us” In addition to planning show events and strategies and trying to prepare for all the problems which go hand in hand with event coordination, organizers and volunteers must undertake the physical relocation of structures, equipment and supplies essential to operate the event. The move will begin this month. “Because of the limited time frame, we are working in, only the essentials will be moved,” McNeely said. Those essentials include ticket booths, a registration trailers, souvenir shop, information booth, some small structures to be used for displays and exhibits and materials/tools and machines needed to set up the show. The gold mining equipment which was originally

used in the Bertha and Edith gold mines in Goochland will also be relocated before the September event. According to McNeely, some of the structures will not be moved. Some were on loan to the association and others were not structurally strong enough to survive a move. The Short Pump and Garage were donated to another organization as they were not intrinsic to Amelia County. The show must go on, however. “We are committed to putting on the best event possible in 2021,” McNeely said. “It will be on a smaller scale than the show we hosted in Goochland in the past decade, but our focus remains on agriculture and education.” Several historic presentations have also been scheduled. Attractions which have already committed to 2021 include Tom Tucker

from North Carolina who will set up a Native American tipi with a large number of artifacts; From Greenville, South Carolina, Randy and Sara Lyn demonstrating the craft of Shaker broom making using a foot-operated winder; Jim Bordwine, a “salt maker” from, Saltville; Arthur Jenkins’ antique photographic display from Powhatan; Chesterfield based Richmond Discoveries’ American Civil War encampment; Jim Callear’s World War II Naval Recruiting Display from Powhatan, and Goochland resident Jim Lavender’s Storytelling program. The schedule also includes sawmilling, construction equipment demonstrations, pony rides, a mechanical bull, arts and crafts and commercial and corporate vendors and Cole Show Amusements providing car-

nival games, rides, and food. The pulls, favorites for many Field Day of the Past attendees will be operating on a yetto-be constructed track. Lawn mower and tractors will pull during the day on Saturday and Sunday and trucks will be showing their stuff on the track on Friday and Saturday nights. Show organizers are working on securing additional attractions and activities. “This is a major step for us,” McNeely said. “We are looking for volunteers to help us in the move and during the show. We are also seeking financial supporters to help offset some of the costs of moving this production.” For more information on Field Day of the Past, visit the website at www.fielddayofthepast.net, email fielddayofthepast@gmail.com or call the office at (804) 741-8468.

There will be fun for the whole family with plenty of photo opportunities, a twisty curvy sunflower maze, yummy food, vendors for great gifts, and even a massive Pick Your Own Patch! And don’t worry, there are also sunflowers pre-cut to purchase and bring home with you! We are thankful for the community’s support and are so excited to offer this opportunity for families to enjoy our sunflowers! Come ready to see tractors, cows, and learn more about our agricultural roots! A portion of the proceeds will be donated back to various Goochland community groups just as we’ve done since the festival began in 2019! We are thrilled to announce our newest addition to the festival and an opportunity for us to support our next generation in the community, the Reva Alvis memorial scholarship. Reva was an integral part of the start of our family’s dairy in 1965 and a supporter of the community as a founding member of the Centerville company 3 fire & rescue squad. Any donations will be used to start a fund for scholarships to support young agriculturists pursuing further education to support Virginia’s number one economic sector that feeds, clothes, and provides shelter for all across the Commonwealth and the world. The sunflowers are popping and ready for pictures! We are excited to offer multiple days and various hours to accommodate most anyone’s schedule. We hope you’ll join

Goochland swimmers victorious in Day 1 of CHAMPS Staff Reports

In the Goochland Manta Rays’ final 12-and-under event of the Greater Richmond Aquatic League CHAMPS meet, which began Monday at Swim RVA, the four-swimmer team of Lucas Le, Jude Chapman, Andrea Rogerson and Ryan Johnson charged from eighth to first to win the mixed 11-12 200-yard freestyle varsity relay in 2:00.6. While all seven opposing teams surged ahead in the opening half of the relay, Le and Chapman both kept their competitors within reach, enabling Rogerson to pull even with the lead pack on a blistering swim of 28.47 seconds. Johnson, who jumped up to second place after diving into the pool, tracked down and overtook the leader within the final 30 yards of the race and maintained the lead to complete his team’s rally to take the top spot. Johnson delivered a fiery time of 26.69 in the final leg. The Manta Rays also won the mixed 8 and under 100yard medley JV relay when Caroline McCory (backstroke), Wesley Cheatham (breaststroke), Cora Chapman (butterfly) and Caroline Darden (freestyle) collectively swam their way to a first-place time of 1:35.58. Many swimmers represented the Manta Rays in the first day of the GRAL Champs meet on Monday. The 9-10 200-yard freestyle JV relay team of Nathaniel Carter, Lane Ways, Audrey Darden and Kendra Cheatham took fourth in the division with a time of 2:30.1, and the 8 and under 100-yard freestyle JV relay team of Cora Chapman, Caroline McCory, Wesley Cheatham and Caroline
