‼️ We would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to the Virginian Review for covering our Crime Victims’ Rights Week event and highlighting it on the front page.

🥰 Your coverage helps shine a light on the importance of supporting victims of crime and raising awareness throughout our community.

This week’s edition of your original hometown newspaper is packed with stories from across the Alleghany Highlands, led by a fun and competitive Doughnut Derby where local law enforcement traded their boots for high heels, and Sergeant Agee claimed the title for the second time. In Clifton Forge, a town, councilman resigns, while area high school seniors are making headlines of their own as several student-athletes announce their college decisions. The City of Covington also takes center stage as it kicks off its VA250 celebration, marking the start of a series of events planned for the summer. Yard Sale season is here! From community happenings to local government and sports, this week’s paper has it covered. Copies are available now on newsstands at Exxon on Durant, Bartley’s, Petticoat, Shell on Madison, BP on Madison, Whitey’s, CF Grab and Go and The Rusty Hinge, and readers are reminded to take advantage of the current print subscription special.

🍩 Crime Victims’ Rights Week 2026 👠

We were proud to partner with Safehome Systems Inc. for this year’s Crime Victims’ Rights Week event! We presented three Compassion in Service Awards to Investigators Travis Ledford, Jeremy Morris and Joseph Haynes, who went above and beyond to support a victim.

Sergeant Agee with the Covington Police Department claimed the Donut Derby trophy once again! 🏆🍩👠

One of the most meaningful moments was hearing from a brave survivor who shared their story and reminded us why we listen, act, and advocate every day.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in supporting victims and strengthening our community. 💜

‼️Videos of the race and awards presentation are at the very end of the photos.
