What They Say
0The numbers are in for 2015. Chesterfield Fire & EMS answered 39,000 plus calls for service, where greater than 75 percent of the calls for service were medical in nature. The greatest number of fire-related calls was alarm activations. The greatest number of medical incidents was difficulty breathing. What do these numbers mean for you and I versus what do these numbers mean for firefighters? In this article, I will only skim the surface of what the numbers can teach us. The first thing that we see is that calls for service have increased, and I do not expect them…
Conference 12 Wrestling Duels
0Matoaca (4-1) The Warriors on the other hand, are not as balanced of a team they have been in the past.

Sam Braswell (106), Brandon Woody (113), Noah Roulo (126), Bryson Woody (152), Alvonte Jones (195) and Anthony “Shaun” Helm (295) went undefeated on the day. While Helm had to leave early for a visit to Virginia Tech, his team still performed in his absence in the last two matches of the day. Helm, a two-time…

Dogpound Work
0Hello and welcome back to the wonderful world of the Dogpound. The new year is not starting out very well…not counting the big drop in the stock market (thank goodness I moved all my stuff into fixed income investment), we had a layoff at work. Never a pleasant event, even if you are not one of unfortunate souls who were walked to the door. I, unfortunately, have had to make that walk in the past and it is not in the least any fun. In the past they would at least wait until Friday afternoon…call you in for a late…
Legislative Showdown Looms Over Guns
0Legislative Showdown Looms Over Guns By Rachel Beatrice and Matt Chaney, Capital News Service The political battle over guns in Virginia is shifting to the state Capitol as the General Assembly convenes Wednesday for its 2016 session. The state’s leading Democrats fired the latest shots: In October, Gov. Terry McAuliffe banned weapons from state buildings. Then last month, Attorney General Mark Herring announced that the commonwealth would no longer recognize concealed handgun permits issued by 25 states that he said do not meet Virginia’s standards. Those moves outraged Republican legislators. Del. Todd Gilbert of Shenandoah, for example, accused Herring of…
