Lake Monticello Volunteer
Fire Rescue concludes
successful Fund drive
Lake Monticello Volunteer Fire and
Rescue Squad, Inc. (LMVFR) would like
to thank the community for supporting
our recently concluded fund drive. The
fund drive raised over 95% of the goal
amount and will enable LMVFR to continue providing twenty-four hour coverage, 365 days per year for fire, rescue
and water rescue emergencies to the
citizens in our service area.
Highlights from the past year include:
The recent Virginia Office of Emergency Services review of Lake Monticello Volunteer Rescue Squad which
said, “your agency exceeds expectations and … (is) a model agency that
sets the standard for others.” They
went on to praise the department’s “excellence and attention to detail.”
The rescue squad has more than 50
members running weekly 12 hours
shifts in order to provide 24/7 coverage, running more than 65% of all EMS
calls in Fluvanna County over the last
two months.
The continued high quality fire response
provided by Lake Monticello Volunteer Fire
Department resulted in an increased rating
by the Insurance Services Office. This improved rating is saving some citizens in our
first due area as much as $100 annually on
their homeowner’s insurance.
Just this year, members of our departments have been recognized by the
Thomas Jefferson Emergency Management Services Council, the American
Legion and the University of Virginia
Medical Center for the excellence of
care they provide.
These accomplishments as well as
the ability to meet the needs of our citizens would not be possible without the
steadfast community support demonstrated by the recent fund drive. Combined with the tremendous time and
dedication shown by our volunteers,
we look forward to continuing to serve
Fluvanna County. If you are interested
in learning more about how to be part
of our team, please call 434-589-4108.

Political ploy
I’m writing concerning the proposal of
Mr. Ullenbruch and Mr. Kenney regarding
voluntary contributions to the county’s
coffers, because I want people to realize
that it is nothing less than a political
ploy. They were advised to do away with
the label “voluntary tax contributions,”
because it might not be well received.
I’ve wondered for years why people are
so averse to the idea of taxes. This great
nation of ours is one of the best and
most affluent nations in the world. It is

A beautiful spring day and lots of fun
activities was the setting for Open Door
Christian’s School’s sixth annual Field
Day held on May 3rd.
Students had a break from school
work to enjoy games and fun activities
such as the moon bounce, sumo wrestling, relays, and a host of new games
this year. Back by popular demand was
parent, Shane Dyke, who entertained
the kids with his balloon
creations. Students, staff, and parents
enjoyed a pizza lunch from Papa John’s
and ice cream from Papa Jim’s.

taxation that has brought us roads and
bridges, built our military, established
Jefferson’s dream and vision of public
education and provided numerous services to the American public. There was
a time when American citizens acknowledged a responsibility to be contributing
members to the community good.
A couple of months ago I addressed
the Board of Supervisors at a meeting
when they were deciding on the budget.
I spoke of last year’s budget problems
and shortfalls for the schools when they
advertised a tax rate of .68 cents. After a
quiet meeting and a changed vote that
rate was reduced to .59 cents on a 3 - 2
vote. I felt that they should have reached
a compromise of .63 or .64 cents to
better enable them to meet the school’s
budget request. This year the equalization rate after the reassessment was .81
cents, and the supervisors lowered it
still to .79 cents creating further budget
problems. Had they taken my suggestion, the current rate would then be .86
cents. I will undoubtedly take part in
their scheme, because I have been encouraging them to raise taxes for more
than a year now. My home is assessed at
$185K, and an increase of an additional
.07 cents in taxes means that I would
pay an additional $10 per month. Who
amongst us has not frivolously spent
that much for any number of things.
Why then is this a political ploy you
may ask. If a minimal number of people
participate in this program, Mr. Kenney
and Mr. Ullenbruch will proclaim that
their constituents are not in fact in favor
of increasing taxes. But the bigger issue
is that it lets them off the hook from
making those tough political decisions
and allows many to abdicate their responsibility of supporting the community which is Fluvanna County. Currently Fluvanna County ranks below all the
surrounding counties, with the exception of Buckingham, in median property
taxes paid. You will hear some proclaim
that we are overwhelmed by taxation,
but it is just not true
So, I simply ask you to consider
that facts are much more important
than political rhetoric and know that
the idea of voluntary contributions is
nothing but a scheme.

Poor judgment
We can debate whether Valerie Palamountain’s email endorsing two candidates to the Lake Monticello Owners’ Association Board of Directors was against
LMOA governance but at the very least it
showed poor judgment. Ms. Palamountain points out that she was speaking as
a homeowner not as the president of the
Board. However, as president she has an
obligation to remain neutral thus assuring that whoever does win begins his/her
position in a positive atmosphere. Instead
of accepting these facts with an apology
she gave multiple reasons why it was not
against the rules. Once again arrogance
has risen above humility. What a shame.
– Maria Carter,
Lake Monticello
Both ways
Lake Monticello Owners’ Association
Board of Director’s president Valerie
Palamountain describes her decision
to endorse candidates for the LMOA
Board as strictly “personal”. She also
claims that the opinions expressed to
friends and neighbors were hers alone
and “do not represent an action of the
Lake Monticello Owners’ Association.”
If that is indeed the case, how interesting that she first chose to defend her
actions as a private citizen in the lead
article of the official LMOA Friday Flyer.
Is that an option the average property
owner would have? I think not. Ms. Palamountain appears to be trying to have
it both ways.
As to her reaching out to friends and
neighbors, I must say that I am neither
a friend nor neighbor, yet I received
her endorsement email, complete with
attached candidate campaign material. So did others who did not solicit
it. Considering the fine line she is attempting to walk, should she not have
ensured that her endorsements were
shared exclusively with those requesting them? Failure to do so is poor judgment on her part, to say the least!
No amount of official explanation will
undo the perception she has created
for herself as a manipulator. Perhaps it
is time Ms. Palamountain stop trying to
influence elections and instead regain
the integrity her position demands.

Youth football team
squeaks by; goodbye
to Pat Groot
BY CHRISTINA DIMEO GUSEMAN, CORRESPONDENT
For a while there, it looked as though
the proposed Fluvanna U12 football
team might not get off the ground. After
a largely supportive discussion June 5,
the Board seemed to reconsider when
it came time to formally establish the
team at Wednesday’s (June 19) meeting.
After having the chance to mull it
over for two weeks, Supervisor Donald
Weaver stated that the team’s start-up
price tag of just under $15,000 was too
much money to pull out of the Board
contingency fund. He preferred instead
to tackle the issue during next year’s
budget season so that, if approved, the
start-up cost could be built into the
parks and recreation budget.
Also having second thoughts, Supervisor Joe Chesser echoed Weaver’s
preference for postponing the matter
until next year’s budget talks, while Supervisor Bob Ullenbruch reiterated his
initial qualms about setting precedent
for other would-be teams.
Countering the cautious tone, Chairman Shaun Kenney spoke in favor of the
team, recognizing the current “gap” for
county seventh graders caused by school
restructuring, and claiming that “most
localities do pick up the tab for these
teams.” As for setting precedent, Kenney
asserted that this “public-private partnership” is just the sort of precedent he
would like to set, in which a volunteerdriven organization needs help to get off
the ground, but then functions with a
large degree of independence.
Supervisor Mozell Booker agreed,
stating that the idea of helping programs “get on their feet” so they can
be fully or mostly self-sustaining is, to
her, “what we’re all about as the Board
of Supervisors.”
With three of five supervisors feeling
wary, the team’s establishment was
suddenly in jeopardy. When Kenney
called for a vote, however, the motion
passed 3-2, with Kenney, Booker, and
Chesser supporting.
That decided, the Board turned its attention to the issue of code compliance.
As Planning Director Allyson Finchum
explained after the meeting, her office
is responsible for monitoring code compliance, including catching and correcting violations. “Code compliance”
is a broad topic that covers a range of
issues, including lists of conditions for
businesses operating under special use
permits, rules for the appearance of
county residences, and signage. As Fluvanna grows, the 20 hours a week currently worked by the code compliance
officer is simply no longer sufficient to
keep up with the workload.

The Board hopes to ameliorate this
situation by increasing the number
of hours worked by the code compliance officer, either to 28 hours a week
or to a full 40 hours on a one-year trial
basis. A decision is expected at the July
3 meeting.
In other matters:
• The Board heard an update on the
status of the park and ride area near
Food Lion by Lake Monticello. The
county has received the draft agreement
back from the owner of the property,
who agreed to provide 15 spaces for
park and ride purposes as long as the
county supplies trash receptacles and
empties them twice a week.
• The Board bid a fond farewell to
Pat Groot, grants administrator for Fluvanna County for 13 years. Starting July
1, Groot will work for the whole region
as grants writer/administrator with the
Thomas Jefferson Planning District
Commission. Marvin Moss, president
of both the Fluvanna Historical Society
and Fluvanna Heritage Trail Foundation,
presented Groot with two framed certificates and stated, “It’s hard to imagine
what Fluvanna County would be like
today without [Groot’s] very careful and
innovative approach” to bringing grant
money to the county.

Debate about standardized
testing continues
BY KRISTIN SANCKEN, CORRESPONDENT
Even after school has been let out
for the summer, the debate about
whether or not today’s school kids take
too many standardized tests continues
among Fluvanna’s educators.
“The majority of calls I get from
teachers are about testing,” said school
board member Carol Tracy Carr.
In a data driven era, standardized
exams are used to evaluate student
progress and teacher effectiveness.
Fluvanna students are taking far more
than just the Standards of Learning
(SOL) exam each year. Throughout the
year they also sit three times for the
Measurement of Academic Progress
(MAP) tests, twice for the Interactive
Achievement test, and K-3 students
take the PALs exam to evaluate reading
skills. These standardized tests are all
in addition to the regular run-of-themill spelling tests and pop quizzes.
Since SOLs are a state mandate, most
Fluvanna teachers see them as a necessary evil. It’s the MAP test they take
umbrage with. MAP testing is being
used in more than 5,000 school districts across the country, but has been
criticized in just as many. Critics don’t
like its use in teacher evaluation, especially since the test is not tied to one
grade level. Originally designed by research directors (not teachers), MAP is
designed to measure students’ academic level, independent of their age or
year in school. That means that a third
grader could be looking at a question
about algebra or Shakespeare.
Fluvanna Public Schools defends the
use of MAP as a way to assess whether
students are ready for the SOLs.
“The state requires that we do universal screening. It’s one of the reasons
why MAP is done three times a year. It
lets you know if students are on track
and prepared to pass the SOLs,” said
Director of Testing and Accountability
for Fluvanna County Public Schools
James Mathieson. “It’s a very solid, very
well backed assessment, based off of
the results of nearly 5 million children.
It’s aligned with SOLs, but not directly
driven by the SOLs.”
Third grade teacher Angela Davis disagrees. She thinks MAP is harmful, if
anything, to SOL scores.
“This is a test that is being used
only for evaluating teachers, it has no
benefit to students, and leaves us with
no time to focus on SOLs. It’s a waste of
valuable instructional time,” said Davis.
Bridgette Madison, a mother of four
Fluvanna school children, agrees with
Davis.
“One of my daughters is in second
grade and took PALs and MAP. On one
test it said she was above her grade
level on reading and on the other it
said she was below. The testing doesn’t
work together,” said Madison to the
Fluvanna County Public School Board
on Wednesday (June 13). “The teachers do know these students, and I think
you need to work with them to get to a
better place for the students.”
Fluvanna Education Association (FEA),
who represents Fluvanna’s teachers,
have offered other ways to assess teachers and SOL readiness than making students take tests where they won’t know
the majority of the answers.
“Teachers are willing to step up and
craft an instrument that we can use
for student growth. We feel it would
be more fair to our students and less
stressful for our students,” said Perri
Johnson, co-president of the FEA.
Yet, for now, it looks like little will change
for next year. Fluvanna Public Schools Superintendent Gena Keller believes all of
the tests are still needed to identify struggling students and their needs.
“It’s important for us to look at the
gains we made. It’s also important to
look at the children, by name, who are
not getting what they need,” said Keller.
“It’s no different than a good medical
team, you triage and you offer supplemental help that’s culturally sensitive.”
Will voluntary “tax” contributions help schools?
BY CHRISTINA DIMEO GUSEMAN, CORRESPONDENT
Out of the great tax debate came an
idea: If people want to pay more in
“taxes,” why not let them? Drawing
from a program established in Prince
Edward County, Supervisor Bob Ullenbruch championed the idea of voluntary “tax” contributions here in Fluvanna. Through this program, citizens
who want to support different county
departments, most notably the schools,
can do so by choosing to pay above and
beyond their required taxes.
“The voluntary contributions program
gives folks with a passion – whether it
be schools or public safety or parks and
recreation – the ability to contribute
extra dollars specifically towards that
passion,” Ullenbruch said. The system
seems like a win-win: Citizens who
want the tax rate to stay lower pay a
lower rate, while citizens who want the
tax rate higher support their cause with
voluntary contributions.
But to critics, the system is lose-lose.
If the program brings in little money,
critics fear proponents of lower taxes
will cry triumphantly that the majority of the county must feel that the
schools are adequately funded as-is. If
the program brings in a lot of money,
critics fear proponents of lower taxes
will continue to “underfund” the
schools and rely on those who disagree
to bridge the gap through “charity.”
To Ullenbruch, that’s just being negative. “There’s nothing negative about
this program, nothing but positive,” he
stated. “It gives people that stood up
and said ‘raise my taxes’ the opportunity to contribute where their heart is.”
Does it work?
Ullenbruch especially likes that the
program, as he says, sets up the schools
to receive donations in a manner in
which they currently cannot. “People
can donate supplies to the schools, or
athletics, but they can’t give to increase
programs or things. The voluntary contributions would give the superintendent the autonomy to spend the money
where she sees fit.”
But, as so often happens, there is a
disconnect between facts as asserted
from those outside and those within
the school system. When asked to
clarify, Superintendent Gena Keller
stated that the schools are already
set up to receive monetary donations
towards operations. Would-be donors
may simply write a check to Fluvanna
County Public Schools. Such funds go
into the category called “other local
revenue,” as would any donations collected through voluntary contributions.
In fact, funds donated through voluntary contributions, rather than a direct
check to the school system, must first
go through the extra step of being appropriated to the schools by the Board
of Supervisors.
Earmarking donations
Knitting together the voluntary contributions idea into a workable system
for Fluvanna is using up many county
staff hours. One tough issue is deciding
how specific the earmarks can be. In
the June 5 meeting of the Board of Supervisors, County Attorney Fred Payne
massaged his temples at the thought
of accounting for a $500 donation for
girls’ lacrosse mouth guards.
In the case of the schools, the answer
is clear-cut. “There is no way for a donation to the schools’ appropriated accounts to be specified for a specific use
such as salaries, bus fuel, health insurance costs, etc. We’ve checked this with
our School Board legal counsel,” said
school Director of Finance Ed Breslauer.
Why not? Well, the law has the first
and final say. But as an example, Breslauer added, “If someone gave the
school board $1 million to pay salaries
but utility expenses were higher than
expected, the school board couldn’t sit
on the $1 million and turn off the heat/
water/sewage.”
If donating outside of the operations
budget is near and dear to a citizen’s
heart, the schools already have a mechanism in place for that as well. Each
school has an activity fund ready and
waiting for donations that are spent on
“supplies, day-to-day needs, etc.,” said
Keller. “PTOs/PTAs do this as well.” Also,
the Fluvanna Education Foundation
(FEF) provides a valid option. According
to the school system’s web site, the FEF is
“a separate entity from Fluvanna County
Public Schools and the Fluvanna County
School Board, with a separate board
that exists to support the mission of the
public schools. It can receive and spend
on local educational initiatives without
altering the School Board budget… Donations are tax deductible.”
Personnel expenses
Of all the expenses that pull at the
community’s heartstrings during the
annual budget battle, teachers’ compensation tops the list. Most often
cited as the reason for (and against)
school-related tax increases, personnel expenses include everything from
teacher positions themselves to raises,
cost-of-living adjustments, and health
and life insurance premiums. If voluntary contributions are a kind of compromise on the tax rate, as some perceive them to be, then it is worth noting
that none of these personnel expenses
can be covered by voluntary contributions or, for that matter, any other form
of donation to the school system.
There are several reasons for this.
Firstly, as discussed previously, the
schools cannot handle restricted monetary gifts – that is, gifts with strings
or purposes attached. Second, there is
no way to know how much money the
school will receive through donations.
“It would be very risky to plan a budget
on ‘what you might get’ from the contributions of community members,” noted
Keller. So why not save up donations
and apply the actual amount towards
personnel expenses the following year?
“School boards do not have the legal
authority to carry forward funds from
one fiscal year to another without the
approval of their local appropriating
government body,” the Board of Supervisors, clarified Breslauer.
So actual taxes still provide the only
funds with which to compensate teachers. Knowing this, Ullenbruch stated
clearly that voluntary contributions
are “not meant to be a compromise.…
If your passion is that we increase
taxes then deal with that during budget
season. This has never been intended
to be a substitute for that… It’s definitely not in place of budgeted items. I
want to make that clear.”
Does it help?
In the case of the school system, voluntary contributions duplicate existing
methods of donation. Simply writing
a check to a school’s activity fund, the
school system itself, or the FEF accomplishes the same thing, and more
simply, than donating via the voluntary
contributions system. Not many coun-
ties utilize this system, and according
to County Administrator Steve Nichols’s research, the ones that do don’t
generally bring in enough money to
pay for the required staff time.
On the plus side, once the idea is
fleshed out into reality, donating to
the schools may get more publicity.
Not many people are familiar with the
ways to donate to the school system.
(That information may be found here:
http://www.fluco.org/finance/SitePages/
index.aspx) Surely citizens will become
more familiar with the idea if Nichols’s
hope becomes reality and they can go
online to pay taxes, check an extra box
or two, and make a donation.
And what about the win-win or loselose debate? If the county implements
voluntary contributions, thereby accepting the probable net loss of staff hours,
then the accurate response probably
lies somewhere in the middle. As long
as the county: 1) continues to fund the
schools at an “adequate” level (which
is always a matter of raging debate), 2)
refrains from relying on voluntary contributions to bridge any kind of gap, 3)
avoids expressing any sense of entitlement to donations, and 4) has realistic
expectations about the revenue this
program will generate, then the way is
clear for citizens to help the causes they
truly believe in by giving as they see fit.

Most of us probably want to know
more about our County than we do, but
how would we go about finding out?
There is a way to learn about Fluvanna County that’s organized, informative, and entertaining. Come September, the Fluvanna Leadership Development Program (FLDP) will be kicking
off its 11th class. You will meet county
officials, attend county meetings, and
make new friends as you walk this path
of experiential learning together. Over
200 people have already taken this
class, and several have served or are
now serving as leaders in our county.
This program runs from mid-September to mid-March and is full of
interesting and thought-provoking information provided by the county’s
leaders. Each session is interactive so
you will have many opportunities to
ask questions as you learn more about
our county. Included in the class is a
bus tour that shows you all the historic
nooks and crannies you’ve likely not
yet heard about. You will learn about
how the county operates and attend a
Board of Supervisors meeting. You will

find out where county revenues come
from and what they are used for, as
well as what the county is doing about
economic development. You will learn
how the school system operates, how
the county ensures its folks are protected through a law and order system, and
what kind of emergency services and
social services are available to those
citizens who need a helping hand.
Classes are held in a variety of locations throughout the county so you will
have an opportunity to visit corners of
Fluvanna that you may not know. Registration closes in mid-August, and the
class will be limited to the first twentyfive people who register. The cost is
$25 for this nine month program, and
scholarships are available.

Salem United Methodist Church’s curly-headed pastor Drew Willson challenged
the congregation to raise $500 in support of Relay for Life, offering to shave off his
hair if they met the dare. They rose to the challenge and raised about $1000. After
worship on June 16, the congregation watched as Pastor Drew took on his new
persona as Salem’s hairless pastor.

Fire officials urge caution
with fireworks, sparklers
CONTRIBUTED BY GREGG O’DONNELL WITH THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF FORESTRY
While legal fireworks and sparklers are
a popular part of July 4th celebrations, in
most areas of Virginia they could become
a cause of wildfires this year.
“One spark is all it would take for a
wildfire to start,” said Fred Turck, assistant director for wildfire prevention and
education with the Virginia Department
of Forestry (VDOF). “Fireworks that have
finished burning are still extremely hot,
and they can smolder in dry grass or
leaves before a fire ignites.”
Turck recommends keeping a bucket
of water, wet towel and a fully-charged
garden hose nearby. Children and pets

THE CRAZY LIGHTS GUY
HIGHLIGHTS THE 4th; HELPS VETS
BY RUTHANN CARR, CORRESPONDENT
Jeff Spinello’s patriotic-themed show at his home at 4 Lewis Court at Lake Monticello.
Photos by O.T. Holen
Lake Monticello resident Jeff Spinello
realizes he’s become known as the “crazy
lights guy,” but that’s okay with him.
It’s fine with Lee Everton, too.
Spinello decided to take his love of
outdoor Christmas lighting into the
summer with a patriotic-themed show
at his house at 4 Lewis Court. He started
the show on Memorial Day and it runs
through July 4.
And because Spinello knew people
liked to show their appreciation by
leaving monetary donations, he decided
to give all money to Everton’s Disabled
American Veteran’s Charlottesville
Chapter 33. The disabled vets will use
the money to help their van program,
Everton said.
“We supply free transportation for
veterans to McGuire Medical Center in
Richmond Monday through Friday,” he
said. “It’s hospitable and kind of him to
think of us.”
Everton and Spinello hooked up after
a local TV station did a story about
Spinello’s Christmas display. Spinello
mentioned in the story that he wanted
to help a local organization, specifically
a veteran’s group, with proceeds from a
patriotic light display he intended to do
around the Fourth of July.
Everton was watching the news and
got Spinello’s contact information.
“I saw it and called him and asked
if I heard him correctly,” said Everton,
a Vietnam veteran disabled by Agent
Orange, a toxic defoliant used during
that war. “He said ‘Yes, he was serious.’
We met and he explained in detail what
he did during the Christmas holiday
and he wished to do the same thing for
Memorial Day.”
Spinello is thrilled with his association with the Disabled American Veterans because he is confident the money
will go directly to helping people.
“I don’t want the money going to
paying a director, I wanted to support
someone locally and wanted it going to
a cause,” he said.
The monetary donations for his
Christmas show took him by surprise,
he said, but this time he’s ready.
“I’m organized now. I built a box and
ordered signs,” he said.
While the light show running now
isn’t as big as the one he put on at
Christmas, it’s still something to see.
Spinello started planning the patriotic
light show months ago.
It has 10,000 lights on 32 circuits.
Viewers are treated to flags and other
American symbols in red, white and
blue lights that blink off and on to a
number of patriotic songs, such as
Neil Diamond’s “They’re Coming to
America,” Lee Greenwood’s “Proud to
be an American,” and the theme songs
of each of the Armed Forces. Spinello
said he was surprised at how difficult it
was to program a show that didn’t look
“Christmassy.”
The one wrinkle in Spinello’s plan was
he hadn’t considered how the longer
summer days would affect viewing.
In the winter, he could start the
display as early as 6 p.m. Visitors had a
good four hours to view the show.
In June, Spinello can’t turn on the
lights until 8 p.m. and even then it can
be too light to get the full effect.
He tries to be considerate of his neighbors so he programmed the lights and
music to go off each night at 10 p.m.
Another problem is no one drives
around in the summer looking for
decorated homes the way they do at
Christmas. Consequently, he hasn’t
had as many visitors which have meant
fewer donations.
“So far, I’ve gotten about $100,” he said.
The show runs through July 4. And
even though Spinello lives in a gated
community, if you know someone who
lives at the Lake, pay them a visit and
swing by Lewis Court. Even if you don’t
know anyone, it’s possible the kind attendant at the main gate might let you in
to see the display if you ask nicely. After
all, it’s for a good cause – Spinello just
wants to spread a little patriotic cheer.
“Times are tough, and if you can
come out and see something free, that’s
a good thing,” he said.
Disabled American Veterans
has been around for more than
90 years helping those who
served our country. According to
information on the website:
“Our mission simply is one of service and
advocacy on behalf of the men and women
who put their lives on the line to ensure our
safety, to protect our freedoms and cherished
way of life. What is right for our nation and our
citizens is to take care of those who served.
We do this by never forgetting their sacrifices.
We do this by keeping our promise to them: to
provide the resources and services they need
to enjoy the best quality of life possible”.

Franklin says she knows Fluvanna County
BY RUTHANN CARR, CORRESPONDENT
Elizabeth Franklin is running against Michael
Sheridan for the Columbia Board of Supervisor
seat being vacated by current Board Chairman
Shaun Kenney. The Fluvanna Review submitted
the following questions to Franklin, asking her –
as we did all candidates - to keep her answers
brief. Below are her replies.
How long have you lived in Fluvanna?
I bought my home here in 2000.
Why are you running for a seat on the
Board of Supervisors
No one else running for supervisor, except for Supervisor Don Weaver
himself, has the grasp of county business, issues and challenges that I do.
Since 2004, I have been on the front
lines of county issues standing up
for citizens, their will, their wallets,
their voices. Now I want to put all that
knowledge and those insights to work
on behalf of our county.
Over the past nine years, I have attended hundreds of meetings of the
Board of Supervisors, the Planning
Commission and other county government bodies. I have often been the
only regular citizen in the audience
in policy, planning and budget workshops. For the last four years, I have
sat through the entire budget process,
start to finish. I have studied the same
materials as supervisors and planners,
I have independently researched many
of the issues, and I have stood to speak
when I had ideas to offer or felt the taxpayers’ perspective was not being adequately considered.
I have been more than a mere spectator to county government, however.
In 2006, I proposed and led FTA’s initiative to develop a first-ever fiscal
chapter for the Comprehensive Plan.
That effort led to the “Financial Sustainability” chapter that is now part of
the plan. Never before had a group of
citizens contributed an entire chapter
to the Comprehensive Plan. I have led
annual “Taxpayer’s Tour of the Budget”
sessions for citizens and reported on
numerous tax-impact issues in FTA’s
newsletter. I also served on the Plan-
ning Commission’s recent A-1 Zoning
Task Force, which developed recommendations for land use likely to go
before the Board of Supervisors in calendar 2014. In addition, I served on
Fluvanna Friends of Rural Preservation’s executive board and am a graduate of the county’s Leadership Development Program.
As a member of Fluvanna’s Citizens’
Water Committee in 2010, I proposed
cost/analysis and fiscal objectives that
fueled the discovery that the FluvannaLouisa pipeline deal approved by supervisors would cost Fluvanna taxpayers
$11 million more than a pipeline sized
for our county’s needs alone. I organized
and moderated a “Which Way Water”
forum where the public could view all
the CWC water proposals, including
nine proposed by citizens. I also am
one of the few citizens to have attended
meetings of the James River Water Authority since its inception in 2009.
In addition, I have organized and moderated two “Taxpayers Talk with School
Leaders” sessions and am a “graduate”
of Fluvanna Schools Finance Director
Ed Breslauer’s “School Finance 101”
series of sessions last year. Earlier this
year, I also co-led FTA’s “8-County Total
Education Costs” research project that
compared how Fluvanna taxpayers
stack up in their total financial support
for schools.
County government presents a steep
learning curve to new supervisors. I am the
only candidate who has climbed much of
that hill already (if you don’t count unopposed incumbent Don Weaver). Because
of that, I am the only candidate prepared
to hit the ground running.
Even though you may not hold a position
now on the FTA, your name has become
synonymous with the group. How do you
plan to convince people who don’t agree
with the FTA stance on issues that you
will represent them?
I resigned my post as co-chairman
of FTA and gave up my leadership seat
because the organization is nonpar-

tisan. However, I continue to strongly
support FTA and remain proud of its accomplishments under my leadership.
To those who do not agree with FTA
positions I can say only that we advocate for taxpayers and the ordinary
citizens of our county. I’ve always been
amazed that some folks consider it
controversial to stand up for the pocketbooks of people who have the most
to lose from county policy and spending decisions – taxpayers. The public
cookie jar is a tempting thing and I’ll
always stick up for citizens who hand
over their hard-earned dollars to the
county and hope that county decisions
do not enrich others at their expense.
Why should people vote for you?
I’ll bring my business savvy to the
Board of Supervisors. For the past 27
years, I have owned a successful small
business based in Texas, where I was
named “Woman Business Owner of the
Year” by the Association of Women Entrepreneurs. A former department head
with Procter & Gamble, I also have been
a newspaper editor with dailies including The Detroit News and The Dallas
Morning News, America’s eighth-largest
newspaper in circulation.
I also have empathy for people across
the whole spectrum of needs, wants
and opinions. Born in Kentucky, from
a family of coal miners and farmers,
I am the product of public education
and was the first university graduate
in my family. I know well the value
of an education. My mother got only
as far as the eighth grade, but she instilled in us a fierce ambition and love
of learning. My brothers and I would
be nowhere without public education
and the public library. We grew up on
welfare in public housing, so we know
what it’s like to desperately seek a way
out and succeed. I just wish my mother
had known the better life we have. She
would think Fluvanna was heaven.
Because of my background, I have
mentored welfare mothers, including a
woman and her family who occupied
in the 90s the very flat in the projects
where my family I lived decades earlier.
Today that woman who used to be on
welfare is just shy of a college degree,
has a job and we’re like sisters.
In your opinion, what are Fluvanna’s top
three strengths?
I traded millions of people for millions of trees when I moved here from
Dallas. In that city and other places like
it, so many things have already been
decided. But that’s not true here. Fluvanna is this wonderful Petri dish of democracy where we are just embarking on a
journey and making decisions that could
change us forever. Our county is just
enough behind the curve that we have a
great opportunity to learn from the mistakes of others and to do things really
right as we go forward. What if we could
be the county that finds the formula that
has eluded so many others – that allows
us to adapt but preserves the wonderful rural character and affordability
we all moved here for or grew up here
knowing? There is a formula. Let’s figure
it out. That’s what I want to do as supervisor. As for other strengths, there are the
terrific people I’ve met here from whom
I’ve learned so much. There’s wonderful
little E.W. Thomas. There’s lovely Roseberry Farm. There’s the Rivanna and the
James. There’s Ed Knight who came by
and plowed me out of a snowstorm so I
could get to the airport. And there’s the
heart-catching, lyrical sound of the wood
thrush in June that I never ever heard
before moving here.
The 2013 budget cycle had an energizing
yet polarizing effect on Fluvanna citizens.
If elected, how will you approach budget
negotiations?
Input and information will be fundamental. I’ll find out what people care
most about and I’ll get the facts about
possible alternatives relating to both
revenues and expenses. I’ll especially
look for opportunities to eliminate unnecessary costs and put our money
where it is needed most.
What do you think is the most important
role of a supervisor?
Not making dumb decisions and not
spending money other people don’t have.

Community Calendar _______________________________________
Stroke and osteoporosis
screenings
Residents living in and around Palmyra can be
screened to reduce their risk of having a stroke
or bone fracture. Saints Peter and Paul Catholic
Church will host Life Line Screening on Friday,
June 28. The site is located at 4309 Thomas
Jefferson Parkway in Palmyra. Screenings identify potential cardiovascular conditions such as
blocked arteries and irregular heart rhythm, abdominal aortic aneurysms, and hardening of the
arteries in the legs, which is a strong predictor of
heart disease. A bone density screening to assess
osteoporosis risk is also offered and is appropriate for both men and women. Packages start
at $159. All five screenings take 60-90 minutes
to complete. For more information regarding the
screenings or to schedule an appointment, call
1-877-237-1287 or visit our website at www.
lifelinescreening.com. Pre-registration is required.
Cicada talk
The Rivanna Master Naturalists present a special
presentation on “Periodical Cicadas and Other
Odd Insects” at 7 p.m. on June 29, at the Ivy
Creek Natural Area Education Building in Charlottesville. Linda Fink, Professor of Biology at Sweet
Briar College will discuss Periodical Cicadas, especially Brood II of the 17 year cicadas which
have been so prevalent this year. Periodical
cicadas are found only in the eastern U.S., and
their unique natural history raises many questions. “Why do periodical cicadas take so long to
complete development? How does a 17-year life
cycle evolve? How does a cicada count years?
We will examine cicada behavior, evolution and
ecology, and also discuss other North American
insects with unusual life histories.”

What a gorgeous boy. This tuxedo kitty is one
handsome fellow. He is a bit shy at first, and
likes to have his space respected until he knows
you a little better. Given the chance to come
to you on his own terms, he will be a purr-fect
lap cat. Oreo is all dressed up for his night out
on the town...just waiting for his date to show.
Are you ready for some fun with our handsome
kitty? Come meet Oreo today!

Landscape painters are often outside,
field box in tow along with an easel,
trying to capture what nature has
already perfected. Recently, members
of the Fluvanna Art Association (FAA)
did the same, settling into the park
green of Palmyra and painting the sites
around them.
Windy Payne, a long-time member
of FAA and an avid landscape artist,
instructed the members, all newcomers to Plein Air - the French expression
for “in the open air.” It’s simple to paint
outdoors as long as one doesn’t drag a
lot of equipment with them - particularly over rough terrain - after all it is
an artistic outing not a camping trip.
Payne showed the members how easy
it is to simply fill a bag, throw it over
your shoulder and go.
“Simplify your supplies,” she said,
echoing Henry David Thoreau, “Simplify,
simplify, simplify.” This works if you’re
working small. Expensive field equipment is not needed, all that is needed is
a little imagination and an open mind to
possibilities for everyday items. Payne
had a unique set-up: a large hinged tin
candy box which she clipped her painting to and her brushes were handy in the
box with a few tubes of paint.
Next, she discussed picking a subject.
Payne uses a small viewfinder, made from
a small 4” X 6” mat frame. This is useful
when one looks at spending $10 or more
on fancy viewfinders. To make a viewfinder with a grid, cut a piece of plastic
and draw a grid half inch to an inch.
“With your viewfinder, choose what
you like to paint - trees, barns or
flowers - then look for the light and
dark values,” she said. She then tells
the members to begin painting the
large areas first then begin creating
harmony with color.
Members either painted loose interpretations of the Civil War Confederate
Monument or the Old Stone Jail. After
completing their work, the group critiqued each piece, discussing strengths
and weaknesses. All left the workshop
vowing to give Plein Air another try.
Payne left them with one thought regarding Plein Air painting, “Enjoy the
outdoors and have fun.”

The Fluvanna Aquatic Sports Team
(FAST) ran into a buzz saw in its first
scored meet of the season, as they fell
on June 19 to the Fairview Swim Club
by a score of 666-439. Fairview is the
perennial winner of the competition in
the top division of the Jeffeerson Swim
League. The meet was held at FAST’s
new home venue, the pool at the Fork
Union Military Academy (FUMA).
Long time FAST Coach Cos DiFazio
was pleased to be able to have his team
swimming indoors at the outstanding
FUMA facility, which he noted “they
have graciously agreed to rent to us.” In
the past, FAST has held its home swim
meets in Louisa County.
Even though DiFazio advises that
FAST has approximately 170 swimmers
signed up this season, the team was
overwhelmed by the huge contingent of
swimmers on hand from Fairview. At the
swim meet, dozens of Fairview swimmers seemed to be grouped everywhere.
Some outstanding performances were
turned in by FAST swimmers. There were
a number of events in which FAST took
first and second place to record 12 points
In the 9-10 year old girls 50m freestyle, Brin Kuzemka finished first and
Abigail Brown came in second. In the
boys 6 and under 25 backstroke Jaxon
Brooks and Rudy Garrett were first
and second. Brooks’ time was 33:63,
winning by 2.5 seconds.
In the girls 11-12 backstroke event
Hannah Brown was first, followed very
closely, by Ana Kuzemka. Similarly,
in the girls 9-10 50m butterfly, Abby
Harlowe touched first, followed by her
teammate Brin Kuzemka. In the girls
9-10 100m freestyle, Brin Kuzemka
jumped up to first place, with Abigail
Brown coming in second . After over a
minute and sixteen seconds the time
difference between these two was a
mere three tenths of a second.
A number of FAST’s other first place
finishers came in well ahead of their
competition. In the girls 9-10 breastroke event, Abby Harlowe was first in a
time of 42:81. She finished more than
nine seconds ahead of the second place
finisher. In the boys 11-12 breaststroke
Sam Hagan won in a time of 42:32, recoding a time eight seconds faster than
his competition. Hagan also took first
place in his 50 m and 100m freestyle
events, finishing in 1:12.75 in the 100m
event, over twelve seconds ahead.
Also recording first place finishes
were: Jackson Hopkins in the boys
8 and under 50m butterfly, Reagan
Meadows in the girls 8 and under
50m butterfly, Ana Kuzemka in the
girls 11-12 100m freestyle and Reagan
Meadows who finished in a very rare
dead heat in the girls 8 and under 50m
freestyle event. Both swimmers in
this race were clocked at 46:37. With
time calculated to the hundredths of
a second, dead heats are unusual. The
FAST team spirit.

FAST team’s only relay win came in the
9-10 200m medley relay. The team consisted of Abby Harlowe, Abigail Brown
Brin Kuzemka and Alexa John Hudock.
Finishing in second place against a juggernaut team like Fairview is an accomplishment. Second place finishers for the
FAST team included: Jaxon Brooks in the
25m freestyle, Grace Farist in the 25m
freestyle, and in backstroke, Gus Jones in
the 50 meter freestyle and his butterfly
event, Sam Hagan in the 50m freestyle,
Hannah Brown in the 50m freestyle,
Owen Coleman in his breaststroke event,
Ana Kuzemka in breaststroke, Kristen
Cabrera, in breaststroke and backstroke,
Ana Hudock in backstroke, Jackson
Hopkins in backstroke, and Hannah
Brown in the 50m backstroke.
The scoring in a meet like this is a little
complicated. In individual events, the
first place swimmers win seven points
for their team, second place swimmers
win five. Third place wins four points
and fourth place - three points. However,
a team can only win points for two finishers. If a team wins first through fourth
place it receives 12 points for first and
second, but the third and fourth place
points go to the first and second finishers
on the opposing team.
