The Mathews High School golf team got an early start on the 2026 season, beginning practices during the final week of July. Under the leadership of returning head coach Jake Jackson and assistant coach C.K. Ambrose, the Blue Devils have been working hard at their home course, Piankatank River Golf Club in Hartfield, as they prepare for another competitive year.

This season’s roster features a blend of veteran leadership and young talent. The team includes three seniors, two juniors, three sophomores, one freshman, and three eighth graders. With golfers representing several grade levels, the Blue Devils have a strong mix of experience, leadership, and promising future potential.

Mathews has competed in five matches so far this season. The Blue Devils opened the year at Hobbs Hole Golf Course in Tappahannock with an impressive victory over the Essex High School Trojans, posting an all-time team-low score of 169. During the regular season, teams compete over nine holes, with the final team score determined by the top four scores from the six participating players.

A new, Native American-owned pharmacy is opening in the former Gloucester Pharmacy suite next to Food Lion.

Del. Keith Hodges, Chief Pharmacy Officer for UMIT, started off the ribbon-cutting ceremony with a message to the attendees and community. “One of the things that I like most—I mean, I love being behind the counter, but the best part is the people,” he said. “It’s all of you, that’s what makes it all worthwhile, and we’re thrilled to be able to serve our community.”

UMIT Health, owned by the Upper Mattaponi Indian Tribe, opened Aylett Family Wellness, a community focused clinic at Aylett in 2021, Hodges explained. After a survey of the surrounding area—which showed one provider for every 6,000 people, the decision to open a clinic to help both tribal members and the entire community was made.

Created during the American Civil War as stand-by high protein meals for soldiers Salisbury steak was a taste of home.

Salisbury steak is named after Dr. James H. Salisbury (1823-1904), an American doctor who studied gastrointestinal health. He believed that a meat-centered diet would promote health during the war. He recommended eating ground beef patties three times a day to combat digestive illnesses among the troops. Both Northern and Southern armies realized his diet would help keep their armies in better health. It was initially called muscle pulp of beef.
