There have been several letters
to the editor printed about Mel in
the past few weeks and I would like
to add my thoughts to the mix. I
have had many dealings with the
Commissioner and his office staff; I
have found them to be available and
very knowledgeable. Mel returns
my calls and answers my questions
thoroughly. I feel that Mel represents
our county well. He is approachable,
kind and always does his best to help
me.
Some people are saying and writing
that Mel is, essentially, responsible
for the real estate assessments
remaining the same since 2007. We
should all be aware of how county
government works and know that is
simply not true.

County is in
for some very tough days and years
ahead, I would find it unwise to put a
rookie captain at the helm of this ship
when we are in for rough seas. There
will not be time for a learning curve;
we need the person with experience
and training so please vote for Mel
Sheridan on Tuesday, November 8.

In last week’s Review two
individuals wrote letters concerning
the Commissioner’s office. One
gentleman relayed that I had not
answered his email of October
11 about property assessment
“disparity” at Lake Monticello. The
simple truth is that this office has
not received that email from the
gentleman, not on Oct 11 or any
other date. In response, I would
offer two thoughts. I respond 3-4
times a week to the same question
from many people. The answer
is without question yes, property
values have been declining since
2007; at the Lake, across the county
and indeed, throughout the country.
More importantly, if you don’t get a
prompt response to any email call
the office at 591-1940, we’ll be glad
to help you.
In a second letter a lady
indicated that there had been no
formal
recommendation
from
the Commissioner to the Board of
Supervisors on conducting a new
real estate reassessment; frankly, she
is wrong. I not only formally briefed
the board on Oct. 6, 2010, but also
in 2009, that a new reassessment
needed to be done to bring property
values back in line with fair market
value. I also recommended that
reassessments be done on a fixed
schedule of either two or three years.
A review of the board minutes will
confirm these facts.
The last few weeks of almost every
campaign force candidates to deal
with unfair last-minute attacks that
rarely have much to do with the ability
of the individuals running for office.
What is important is the experience
and training they either do or do not
have. I, and a truly outstanding staff,
have run the Commissioner’s office
for the past eight years as dedicated
and well-trained professionals. We
focus our energy on being both
fair and consistent, treating all of
our citizens with the respect they
deserve. In that regard, after 18 years
of serving the citizens of Fluvanna
in elected office, I once again ask for
your vote on Nov 8.

Re-elect John Gooch
I’ve attended the debates and

we must re-elect John Gooch as our

He’s served 12 years as a Board of

the chairman. He understands how

lived here all his life, he is committed

to preserving all that is good about

His opponent has only recently
come to Fluvanna County and
only registered to vote here on the
last day he could in order to be a
registered voter. He’s not joined in
any commissions or committees
and seems to have one statement he
reiterates constantly. At the debates
he’s been loud but not constructive.
We need someone who knows and
cares for this county and John Gooch
is that person. I urge you to vote on
November 8 and to vote for John
Gooch in Palmyra.

Mozell’s 4 years of support
As an elected member of the
Fluvanna County School Board,
I strongly support and urge the
re-election of Mozell Booker as
Supervisor from the Fork Union
District. I have known and worked
with Mozell throughout my 12 years
on the School
Board.
Her
background
of 33 years of
experience
as
a teacher and
elementary
school principal
gives her a broad understanding of
the issues public education faces in
Fluvanna County. As our supervisor,
Mozell has put this experience to
good use. She has tirelessly supported
an adequate school budget, has
been involved in bringing the 4-H
Extension program into the schools,
has served on numerous school
committees, and has been a monitor
for teachers and other staff. She
recognizes the importance of public
education for the future of Fluvanna.
That is why it is important to reelect Mozell so she can continue her
tireless work to ensure that our
schools are fully funded and carrying
out the mission of producing citizens
who are prepared for challenges of
modern life.

The fiscal ineptitude of the
majority of our Board of Supervisors
has taken a new twist. Candidates
Booker and Gooch now champion
economic development at Zion’s
Crossroads as the way out of the
fiscal mess they helped create.
Unfortunately, their past votes on tax
rates do not support their positions.
Take the Fluvanna Business Personal
Property Tax (BPPT) rate as an
example, which taxes such things
as business furniture and fixtures.
Fluvanna’s rate is $ 4.15 per $100
of value. Louisa’s rate is $ 1.90. Is
it any wonder why the new hotel,
which is heavily invested in furniture
and fixtures, is located on the Louisa
side? The new Fluvanna economic
development mantra appears to be:
“Welcome to Fluvanna and pay more
than double.” Put yourself in the place
of a business owner focused on the
bottom line and ask yourself which
side of the line you would locate
to. Let us fix our discombobulated
tax policies before we invest in
any new public infrastructure or
economic development spending.

The uppermost thought in people’s
minds these days is the economy and
job growth. Whether a Democrat,
Republican or Independent a
thoughtful and honest appraisal and
knowing the positions and history of
candidates is tantamount to making
a decision that will help create jobs
and improve our economy. Bert Dodson’s record is amazing.
His company, Dodson Pest Control,
of which he is CEO, now employs
over 500 people. He was a driving
force for revitalizing downtown
Lynchburg and the renovation of its
City Stadium.
In 2009 Dodson Pest Control
was named the “Outstanding
Philanthropic Co.” by the Virginia
Piedmont Chapter of the Association

Bert’s work with various charities.
Habitat for Humanity was given soil
treatment protection, including both
labor and materials, against termites.
A percentage of their corporate profits
has been given to Habitat each year
since 1991.
In 2009, Dodson Pest Control was
presented with the Pro Patria Award
from the Department of Defense. This
award is the highest state level honor
given to a civilian employer by the
Department. Only employers who
show exceptional support for our
national defense by adopting policies
that make it easier for their employees
to participate in the National Guard
and Reserve.
He has the endorsement of the
Virginia Education Association, the
Virginia Professional Firefighters
Association, the National Federation
of Independent Business, Virginia’s
leading Small Business Association,
and in 2010 the Lynchburg Chapter of
the NAACP honored Mr. Dodson with
the Citizen Achievement Award.
Bert Dodson’s record shows he
is a man of action who shares our
concerns and will do his utmost to
help improve the economy and job
growth in our District 22.
Vote for Bert Dodson on November 8.

Dodson for state senate
Tom Garrett’s experience is that
of an attorney in both the attorney
general’s office and commonwealth
attorney. There are already too many
attorneys in the Virginia legislature.
Tom Garrett’s opponent is Bert
Dodson. He has been the owner
of a business for many years, and
employs more than 500 people.
He knows firsthand the needs of
small businesses and how we might
improve the employment picture.
Dodson has experience in governance
in serving for 12 years on City Council
in Lynchburg, with six years as vice
mayor. He has been honored by the
National Federation of Independent
Business as a Small Business
Champion in 2006.
Let us move our government back to
the center where things can get done
and actions can be taken to improve
the lives of all Virginians. Vote for Bert
Dodson for the Virginia Senate.
Joe Shaver

Dodson qualified
With a close race approaching for
the new Virginia 22nd Senate District,
it’s critical that voters examine each
candidate’s record and affiliations.
Across the board, Democrat Bert
Dodson is favored by business and
civic organizations.
Here are a few examples. The
National Federation of Independent
Business, Virginia’s leading small-
business
association,
endorsed
Dodson. NFIB/Virginia SAFE (Save
America’s Free Enterprise) Trust,
has 6,000 small-business members
throughout the Commonwealth.
Also, the Virginia Foundation for
Research and Economic Education, an
independent, non-partisan business
advocacy group, awarded Bert
Dodson with the highest marks in the
race. “As a CEO with over two decades
of experience, Bert is exactly who we
need in Richmond to create jobs and
make sure government is working
with the business community in order
to grow the economy,” said Clayton
Roberts, President of VA FREE.
The Virginia Education Association
has endorsed Dodson with words of
praise from Kathy Hudson, a teacher
at Lynchburg’s T.C. Miller Elementary
School, “Bert Dodson is the voice we
need in the state Senate to invest in
education and give our children the
opportunities they deserve.”
Another endorsement has come
from The Virginia Professional
Firefighters Association, representing
more
than
6,000firefighters
and
paramedics
across
the
Commonwealth: “Bert Dodson has
proven that he cares about public
safety and will vote to protect
Virginia’s fire departments, rescue
squads, and emergency responders. I
can trust that Dodson will do what’s
best for the Commonwealth” said
Mike Mohler, President of Virginia
Professional Firefighters Association.
The Lynchburg Chapter of the
NAACP honored Dodson with its
Citizen Achievement Award in 2010.
As a successful CEO of a company
with 34 offices across the state and
500 employees, Dodson also served
on the Lynchburg City Council for
twelve years. He’s clearly qualified to
serve all the voters of the 22nd Senate
District.

Everybody loved Trey
On Oct. 20, my son Trey Houchens
passed away in his sleep. Trey was
a 3rd grader at Central Elementary
School. He enjoyed school so, so
much. I miss him terribly. During
Trey’s short time here, he touched
so many lives. I have wonderful
memories, photos and stories to get
me through this very difficult time.
I would like to thank the Fluvanna
County community for the phone
calls, food, prayer, and the kind and
encouraging words of comfort. My
son was loved by all who knew him.

Greene asked him to remove his
sneakers and his belt. When Wernert
removed his left shoe “it flipped up
on [him], and it accidently hit [Ferki]
in the face,” court records show.
According to court records, Greene
“slammed Wernert to the ground”
and “upon seeing a pool of blood
around Wernert’s face, the deputies
sought medical assistance.”
Fogel said the settlement will allow
his client to get needed dental work to
repair damage done in the incident.
“He’s poor and therefore didn’t
have the ability to have his teeth
repaired,” Fogel said. “He’ll be able
to do that now,” according to the

Where do I vote?
By Ruthann Carr
Correspondent
Redistricting affected more than
2,000 Fluvanna voters who are now
asking where to go to vote.
In Fluvanna, the Board of
Supervisors voted to reduce the
number of districts from six to five
- divvying up one of the Rivanna
wards into the other five: Columbia,
Cunningham, Fork Union, Palmyra
and Rivanna.
Because the lost Rivanna ward
consisted mostly of Lake Monticello
residents, and because almost half of
Fluvanna’s population lives in Lake
Monticello, it stands to reason that
most of those 2,000 affected are Lake
Monticello area residents.
At the Oct. 28 meeting of the Lake
Monticello Owners Association,
Treasurer Cliff Altschull called the
redistricting “a joke; a travesty.”
“It will result in a lower turnout,”
Altschull said.
County Planning Director Darren
Coffey knows the picture is ugly. Just
one look at any of the proposed new
district maps the supervisors chose
from tells you the boundaries were
all over the place and none really
made any sense.
“If you find a pretty one among
them let me know,” Coffey said.
The
Department
of
Justice
mandates redrawing district lines
every 10 years after the census. It’s
done throughout all levels: national,
state and local.
“It’s a simple exercise in balancing
the population,” Coffey said.
The guidelines official must follow
are strict. The population of each
district must stay within 10 percent
of other districts, he said.
Fork Union’s population did not
grow. That meant the geographical
area had to increase for it to gain
more population.
“It’s an inverse relationship,”
Coffey said. “If Fluvanna’s population
growth mirrors the past decade,
the growth will equilibrate those
districts quite nicely. Rivanna is the
only district that won’t grow - it is
built out. As other districts grow in
population, the geographical area
will shrink in size.”
Altschull agrees with the theory
of continued growth evening things
out. His concern is with the affect
the new districts have now on Lake
Monticello.
“We’ll have one representative on
the Board of Supervisors and one
on the school board even though 43
percent of the county’s population
lives in Lake Monticello,” Altschull
said. “The bottom line is, we lose.”
Fluvanna Democratic Co-Chair
Richard
Koepsell
agrees
the
redistricting has been a mess.
“I wish there was more coordination
but this redistricting has been such a
fiasco because it has been dragged
out,” Koepsell said, noting that at
first, supervisors voted to add one,
then changed their minds and voted
to cut out a district.

This may all be too esoteric a
discussion for those who have the
practical problem of finding out
where to vote on Tuesday.
County Registrar Joyce Wells Pace
said as it gets closer to election time,
calls to her office increase. Even
though the calls tax her small staff,
Wells Pace invites them.
“A lot of people are talking about
it (where to vote) and assuming
because their neighbor votes in one
place, that’s where they are supposed
to vote,” Wells Pace said. “Instead of
being misinformed and relying on
your neighbor, call us.”
She said if you received a voter card
after Oct. 22, consult the information
on it for the correct polling place.
“That is where you should vote,”
Wells Pace said. “If you don’t receive
a card, you vote at the same place
you did in prior elections.”
Just in case voters haven’t heard
that the Lake Monticello fire house is
no longer a place to vote, Wells Pace
put up a sign on the fire house.
“If you are still in the Rivanna
district, your polling place is at the
clubhouse,” she said.
Coffey said DOJ guidelines offer
flexibility in regards to polling
places. The Board of Supervisors can
consider a request to add another
place to vote, but it’s too late for this
election, Coffey said.
“This one election may be a bit
painful, but go vote anyway,” he said.
“Right now, nobody’s happy, but it’s
the art of compromise.”
Koepsell said the state Board of
Elections website has information
that is supposed to clarify where
people
vote.
The
Fluvanna
Democratic Party site links to it.
Fluvanna Republican Party Chair
Vivian Smith has displayed maps
of the new districts with polling
information at all recent functions.
“I’m very into social media and
created a Facebook page with all
information on it,” Smith said. “I
send our members e-mails and for
those who don’t have e-mail, I mail
the information to them.”
Several groups are working to make
sure people who want to vote, do.
Both parties offer rides to anyone
who needs to get to the polls.
Voting after redistricting
By Page H. Gifford

Caring For Creatures, stated the
following:
“I don’t know
where I vote. I
was not notified
but I am going

Choice 101
By Ruthann Carr
Correspondent
With the election just days away,
here’s a rundown of those running for
which seats. The Review asked each
candidate to submit written answers to
the same five questions. Below are the
answers from those who replied.
State Senate District 22
The newly redrawn Senate District
22 encompasses all of Fluvanna County
- including the most densely populated
section of the county: Lake Monticello.
Republican Tom Garrett and
Democrat Bert Dodson Jr. are competing
against each other for the seat.
Garrett graduated from Louisa
County High School before attending
the University of Richmond on an ROTC
scholarship. He served in the Army
from 1995 to 2000. Garrett served as an
assistant attorney general for Virginia
before being elected commonwealth’s
attorney in Louisa County.
Dodson is president and CEO of
Dodson Pest Control. He served on the
Lynchburg City Council for 12 years,
six as vice mayor and was honored by
the National Federation of Independent
Businesses as a Small Business
Champion in 2006. The Lynchburg
Chapter of the NAACP honored Dodson
with its Citizen Achievement Award in
2010.
The Fluvanna Review asked each
candidate to answer the same four
questions.
Here are their answers.
Dodson
1. Describe how a state senator
can affect change locally.
Virginia
State Senators
vote
on
statewide
issues but can
have
local
implications,
for good or
for bad. As a
State Senator,
I will work
Bert Dodson Jr.
with the local
governments
in my district to understand their needs
and how my votes will impact them.
Government is most effective when
all levels are in communication and
working towards the same goals.
2. Tell us one thing you will
commit to doing to increase
jobs in the 22nd district. Be
specific. Explain how that
will increase jobs.
As a State Senator creating jobs
and improving the economy will
be my number one priority. I will
take a fiscally responsible approach
to managing state government and
support legislation that helps our
small businesses grow and create jobs.
I will push to create private-public
partnerships to increase rural access to
high-speed Internet and provide rural
communities the necessary tools they
need to attract new business. I will invest
in new infrastructure of our highways
and our roads so that businesses in
Virginia stay competitive. I will push
for investment in clean technology. I
will prioritize higher education and
fund workforce-retraining programs so
all of our citizens can compete for the
jobs of the future. By creating a climate
where businesses can thrive, the 22nd
district will attract new companies and
create new jobs.
3. Who is your hero and why?
My father is my hero. At the age of
18, with only a 9th grade education,
my father partnered with his older
brother to open a pest control business
in the middle of the Second World
War. He achieved a great deal in life
and watched his business expand until
his death in 1989. I respect his climb
to success and his attitude towards
his employees and his service to our
community. Today our company is one
of the largest family owned businesses
in the entire country, and it all began
with a humble farm boy who had a
desire to succeed and give back to his
family, his faith, and his community.
As I run my family’s business today, I
am always reminded of the lessons my
father taught me.
4. What is your favorite flavor of
ice cream?
Chocolate.
Garrett:

As
your
Senator, I will

do when we
balance
our
Tom Garrett
checkbooks
each
month
around the kitchen table. We live
within our means, period. I know that
when there is too much month left at
the end of the money. the only option
is to prioritize. The state must not pass
along the burdens and costs of the
“next great idea” to the localities, but
should review each bill to determine
whether there are obvious, or even
unintended, funding burdens that
would be placed on the backs of the
localities. If I find unfunded mandates,
I will vote against the bill, regardless of
political consequences, because each
level of government must learn to live
within its means.
2. Tell us one thing you will
commit to doing to increase
jobs in the 22nd district. Be
specific. Explain how that
will increase jobs.
The three primary barriers to job
growth are taxation, regulation, and
litigation. We must ensure that we
have a reasonable litigation climate in
Virginia so that no business is afraid
to grow, based on fears of frivolous
law suits. We need to review the
reach of regulatory agencies within
the Commonwealth and, where
redundancies are found, eliminate
them and also ensure that where one
agency has regulation which conflicts
with another (such as DCR and DEQ
regulations on our farmers), these
conflicts are eliminated and bright
lines are drawn. There should be a
bottom-up audit of state agencies, to
ensure that our dollars are being spent
responsibly. It is amazing that such an
audit by Governor McDonnell of the
Virginia Department of Transportation
revealed hundreds of millions of
dollars unaccounted for. We should
never consider taxing businesses more,
until we know that the money the
state already has is accounted for, and
responsibly spent. Finally, we need to
stop passing unfunded mandates to
localities. These unfunded mandates
make localities tax job producers,
which eliminates their ability to hire
new employees and create new jobs.
3. Who is your hero and why?
Aside from my parents and my
savior, I would say the men and women
who have given their lives to ensure
that we inherited a great and safe
nation are my heroes. I am proud to
have served in our armed forces, and
humbled to have known some who
have made that ultimate sacrifice.

1. Why did you decide to run?
I
am
the
current
supervisor in
the
Palmyra
District
and
I
feel
that
we
need
continued
responsible
representation
for our citizens
John Gooch
to insure that
the
county
continues to move forward in an
appropriate direction in line with our
needs and to insure sensible growth.
2. What are Fluvanna’s top three
challenges/problems?
Number one challenge is the
upgrading of the E911 communications
system across the county. Number
two challenge is getting continued
economic development into the
county. Number three challenge is to
provide quality services to a growing
bedroom community.
strengths?
Number one strength is our location,
we are between Charlottesville and
Richmond and several studies have
shown we are in a strategic location
for economic development. Number
two is our rural character that I want
to preserve by making sure growth
is located in appropriate designated
areas. Number three is our heritage of
warm, close knit communities where
neighbors still watch out for each other.
4. Why should someone vote for
you?
I have lived here, on the same road
since I was five and participated in just
about all aspects of life in Fluvanna
County. I served the citizens for 12
years on the school board and been a
part of our school’s increases in SOL
testing scores with continuing minimal
increases in funding. I have served on
the Board of Supervisors for the last
four years and feel that I have faced
multiple tough issues and feel that
my constituents have respected my
integrity and decisions, regardless of
the outcome.
ice cream?

Robert Ullenbruch
W h e n
you look at
the
national
political
c l i m a t e,
you
see
a
rudderless
government
riddled
with
debt.
Few
Robert Ullenbruch
voices today
are willing to
stand up and
tell people what they don’t want to
hear by challenging the status quo. As
a small business owner and a retired
law enforcement officer I refuse to
believe the problems we’re facing in
Fluvanna County are too difficult to
tackle. Fluvanna’s taxpayers may not
have created this mess, but it’s time we
forged a path to help get us out of our
fiscal mess.
Taxes are too high, services are
inadequate and we have a local
government looking deep into the
pockets of small businesses and large
landowners.
Tax hikes for their own sake are not
solutions. I don’t want that – I can’t
afford that. What we need is innovative
reform that clearly explains why we
pay our taxes, what they pay for and a
road map back to fiscal sanity. Today’s
Board of Supervisors has been staring
at the elephant in the room for far too
long and taxpayers deserve a warrior
on their concerns. I will fight to keep
taxes as low as possible, provide our
core services and keep government’s
hands out of your pocketbook.
strengths?
Location. Location. Location. But
we have to be very careful as to how
we plot out our growth in the next
five to 10 years. Zion Crossroads will
develop in due time, but whether we
are in the fiscal position to do it right,
or whether our finances are in such a
condition that we are forced to go for
the unsustainable option of box stores
and town homes that deteriorate in 10
years is key. Citizens of the Palmyra
District will be hit first and hardest
by this new growth and we will either
meet the challenge and opportunity
in a position to guide events or we’ll
forever be trapped reacting to them.
you?
One vote on the board dramatically
changes the landscape. I know what
it is to balance a budget and I know
what it is to pay local taxes both on my
home and as a small business owner.
Our common sense conservatives on
the Board of Supervisors desperately
need allies. If voters feel that the last
four years of debt, tax hikes and a
rudderless ship is the way to go, then
vote for my opponent. But if we want
a government that sets solutions and
protects the long-term interests of
Fluvanna’s taxpayers, then a vote for
me, Bob Ullenbruch, will set us on that
path - I promise you that.
ice cream?
What matters to me are the looks
and smiles on kids’ faces when I
donate the flavors! I am proud to be
a strong supporter of the PTO and
public education and I look forward
to continuing to provide strong,
sustainable fiscal leadership on the
Board of Supervisors.
Board of Supervisors,
Fork Union District
Mozell Booker, incumbent
It has been my privilege to represent
the citizens of Fork Union on the Board
of Supervisors for the last four years.
Those four years have produced a
solid record of
a c h i eve m e n t
during difficult
times.
We
completed
a
first-rate
Comprehensive
Plan outlining
our vision for
the
county’s
Mozell Booker
future, funded
a badly needed
new
fire
station for Kents Store, applied for and
received a $1.4 million federal grant to
build a new Fork Union fire station and
began construction of a much delayed
new high school. I worked very hard
to ensure that the new high school
would have a Career Tech Center.
We also have started renovating the
Department of Social Services building
to provide space for all employees. We
provided new cellular service on the
Bremo Bluff water tank and began to
address our long-term public safety
telecommunications needs, came
up with a five-district plan that was
fair to all our voters and for the first
time two roundabouts to move traffic
more efficiently. I am working with
my colleagues on a plan to provide
the needed infrastructure in Fluvanna
to provide a solid basis for economic
development. I ran for the board four
years ago because of my concern about
overcrowded schools and the need
for a new high school and the lack of
infrastructure. I have gained a great
deal of knowledge and experience
working on the board. My background
in educational management and
organization are the strengths I bring
to the board.
The Board of Supervisors needs to
broaden the tax base by finding more
revenue sources. The board needs
to provide infrastructure to bring
economic development to the county
(water, sewage, broadband). We need to
adequately fund our core services for
our citizens such as schools, safety and
health, and human services.
provided me with knowledge of the
county’s issues and the workings of the
board. I am involved daily and directly
with citizens who are struggling in this
economic downturn. I understand the
issues of infrastructure, schools and
education, communications and what
is essential for the care of our citizens.
I am involved in JABA, Interagency
council, Youth Advisory Council,
Advisory Council for the Fork Union
Sanitary District, Parks and Recreation
Board, Extension Leadership Council
and the Fluvanna County Leadership
Class. I have learned how to do more
effective problem solving to find
short term and long term solutions.
My career has been one of service to
others.

p e a c e a b l e,
with quality education, develop
business and be safe. I step up to the
plate to help make it happen.
Economic development, debt and
water are three of the most challenges
facing Fluvanna County supervisors
today. In order to make Fluvanna
“the most sustainable livable county
in the USA” we must have economic
development, manage our debt and
expand our water systems.
strengths?
Our citizens, the people in our
county - have many good ideas which
they share with their elected officials
on a regular basis. We have a superb
county staff, which gives quality
service to our citizens. They work many
jobs; some take work home and they
have endured no pay raise for three
years. I commend each department
head, constitutional officer and each
employee for their service.
People, natural resources and
location are the three top strengths
of Fluvanna. Of these three our
people, their skills, dedication and
determination provide what is required
to make this county what it can be. The
beautiful rural character and scenic
James River provide recreation of all
kinds. Location, location and location
– two airports nearby, I-64 west to the
mountains and east to the Atlantic
coast make a unique location that
provide the ease of access.

Commissioner
of the Revenue
Mel Sheridan, incumbent
I’m running
for this office
because
I
am
both
experienced
and
well
qualified
to
serve in this
position. I have
served as the
Commissioner
Mel Sheridan
of
the
Revenue
for
Fluvanna County for the past eight
years. During that time, I completed
a three-year course taught at the
University of Virginia that awarded me
a Master Commissioner of the Revenue
certification. In addition, I served on
the Fluvanna Board of Supervisors
for 10 years prior to being elected to
the officer of Commissioner. I believe
this specific experience coupled with
a 20 year career in the military and a
Master’s Degree in Management give
me the tools to best lead this officer
over the next four years.
Fluvanna’s top three challenges
as they relate to the Commissioner’s
office are as follows:
Complete a thorough reassessment
of all land parcels and associated
improvements over the next 16 months
that accurately reflects the actual fair
market value of property. This has to
be coupled with a public information
campaign that restores the public’s full
faith and trust in the process used and
the results obtained.
Conduct a seamless transition from
the existing county server software
that has become very dated to the new
server software recently purchased
by the county. This transition will
impact all the data maintained by the
Commissioner’s office to include real
estate billing, business and personal
property data management, land use,
etc. Solid experience and training in
this office will facilitate this process.
During the next four years, this
office will make the transition from
maintaining paper files for all property
records to maintaining digital files
for all real property. This is the next
step required to moving the Fluvanna
Commissioner’s
office
forward
to a state of the art professional
constitutional office and both I and my
staff are committed to completing this
process.

strengths?
Funny you should ask that question,
because my 3-year-old grandson, Seth,
and I just had this “discussion.” We
both agree that our favorite ice cream
is mint chocolate chip – the green
kind, not the white kind!
Fluvanna’s top three strengths as
they concern my office are:
a)The people. Fluvanna has a really
interesting mix of families that have
been here for generations and those
who moved here relatively recently.
While at times years ago this caused
some conflict, I have enjoyed watching
the maturation of these relationships. I
believe strongly that the vast majority
of people in Fluvanna love this
community and work hard to keep this
the great place to live that it always has
been;
b) A strong working relationship
between the various law enforcement
agencies that serve Fluvanna is the
second strength. Over the years
I have worked hard to build and
maintain positive relationships with
law enforcement agencies that help
protect the citizens of Fluvanna. I
feel fortunate to have the ability to
call on federal agencies including the
U.S. Attorney’s Office, the F.B.I., A.T.F.,
I.C.E., The Postmaster General’s Office
and Homeland Security when the
need arises. Locally my office works
on a regular if not daily basis with the
sheriff’s office, the Lake Monticello
Police Department, the Virginia State
Police, J.A.D.E. and the Attorney
General’s Office. As a county we are
fortunate to have these resources
readily available to protect our citizens;
c) The third strength is the safety
net that exists to help our citizens when
they need a hand up. In my position
I have regular occasion to try to help
citizens who have contact with the court
system whether defendant, victim,
witness or someone who comes to our
attention through any other means. In
these tough times it is important that
people have somewhere to turn when
they are in need. These agencies and
non profits include Social Services, the
Health Department, Shelter for Help
in Emergency, Region Ten, J.A.U.N.T,
J.A.B.A. Meals on Wheels, Habitat for
Humanity, Rotary, the Ruritan Club
and the many wonderful churches and
religious organizations in the county.
This is not an exhaustive list and I
apologize to any that I have omitted.
These agencies are doing more for the
citizens of Fluvanna on a daily basis
than anyone knows and keep people
from winding up in the court system.
The top three strengths of the
Fluvanna Commissioner’s office are: 1)
a dedicated, well trained staff, 2) a total
commitment to providing Fluvanna’s
citizens with the best service possible
and 3) extensive experience learned
on the job in this office working for
Fluvanna.
you?
Three words; experience, training
and dedication to Fluvanna. I have
18 years experience in Fluvanna
government and eight years specifically
in this office. I’ve worked to become a
Master Commissioner of the Revenue
and have applied that training to make
us a professional and extremely well
run office.
ice cream?
I love chocolate ice cream, my
favorite by far.
(Commissioner of the Revenue continued)
Debbie Rittenhouse
One reason
for

to run is my
concern
for
the direction
and future of
this county. I
also
believe
it is good for
people to have
choices.
Debbie Rittenhouse
Reassessment.
Budget.
Sustainability. Whether directly or
indirectly related to the Commissioner
of the Revenue’s office, these
challenges come down to the same
thing – the sustainability of the current
spending trends.
strengths?
Fluvanna’s top strengths would be
its people, their determination, and
their ability to make the right decisions.
I do not believe the people of Fluvanna
are happy with the direction the county
is going, and I believe we will see that
reflected in this election and others to
come.
you?
It is time for a change. I have the
experience and education to do the job.
I will handle all assessments and other
aspects of the office equally and fairly.
I will be a continual advocate for the
people.

attorney
until
a special election could be held
in November. I felt that I was the
best suited to carry on the positive
momentum that Colin had put in place
in the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s
Office.
The top three challenges facing
Fluvanna where my office is concerned
are: a) Budget concerns. We are being
asked to do more with less. To stay
ahead of the problem I have had to be
creative in funding my office by leaving
a position open and aggressively
pursuing grants and money forfeited
by drug dealers we have convicted;
b) Burglaries are the second concern.
There continue to be individuals that
break into the homes of hard working
citizens in our county. Our sheriff’s
office has done a great job working with
neighboring jurisdictions to eventually
catch these criminals but the emotional
and financial toll of having your home
invaded is devastating; c) Driving
while intoxicated is the third concern.
Fluvanna is a rapidly growing rural
county with many narrow, crowded
roads. Individuals who drive these
roads while impaired are a danger to
all of us and need to be treated as such.
you?
Someone should vote for me
because I have the experience,
knowledge of the law and the people
of Fluvanna to seek justice in all cases
that cross my desk.

regarding law enforcement. As a
core public service, it is important to
continue to not only support but fund
the agency so that it can continue
to keep abreast of the changes and
challenges in criminal activity. As the
county continues to grow, demand for
services will continue to increase.
Since enforcement is a given, it is
important that the agency continue
community outreach and engagement,
enhance officer training and utilize
regional partnership concepts to
address transient crimes.
In these tough economic times, I
will strive to continue to seek federal
and state funds to offset usage of local
tax dollars in order to meet these new
challenges.

I have worked with citizens to get

economic times. I have an open door
policy for all taxpayers and I strive to
make sure all customers are given the
best service and respect.
Like most citizens I only know what
I have read or heard as to what lies
ahead for our school system. I feel I can
safely say the budget is always going to
be the main challenge. Certainly the
well being and safety of each child is
a daily challenge. Hiring and retaining
dedicated teachers is very important to
the stability of our children’s education.
We must not forget the responsibilities
and emotional investments so many
teachers selflessly give. Once I have in
hand official reports and information I
am sure I will find there are numerous
challenges most of us never consider.

School Board
Palmyra District
Brenda Pace
(Pace did not provide a photo.)
I have decided to run for the
Fluvanna school board as I have a
vested interest both personally and
professionally. Currently I have four
grandchildren in Fluvanna schools;
two at Central and two at Fluvanna
County High School, with more to soon
follow. As a local childcare provider I
have sent hundreds of little ones to
“big” school over the past twelve years.
Many of these children are now in high
school and some are now in college. As
an advocate for all children I choose
to take an additional step forward as a
representative on the school board for
the Palmyra district.
strengths?
I feel our new school superintendent,
Ms. Keller, will be a very strong leader.
I have found her to be approachable
and willing to listen and follow through
accordingly. We are fortunate to have
many parents, teachers and other
community people that when joined
together can offer so much support
and positive input to our children.
you?
My intention is to go into the school
board position with an open mind. I
look forward to working jointly with
the other members and explore all
options available. It is my desire for
Fluvanna to be able to provide the best
education possible for our children.
I will always have the children’s best
interest at heart. Their need for quality
education will only increase with time.
They are our future – they are what our
nation will become.

Simple and uncomplicated - vanilla

There are many challenges that
the school system faces but I feel the
top three are: the opening of the new
high school, the decrease in state and
federal funding and the need for more
funding from our local government.
strengths?
I feel that we have good leadership
for our school system which includes
the superintendent, central office
staff, school administrators, teachers
and all other support personnel. I also
feel that our children are doing well in
academics and activities. The school
board members work well together to
support the school system.

I have 12 years of experience
serving on the school board. I have seen
the progress of the school system over

I want to be there to help the school
system face and solve the challenges.

Bill Anderson remembered
By Page H. Gifford
Correspondent
One thing that could always be said
about William (Bill) Anderson was
he left an impression on those who
knew him well. He will always be
remembered as someone who had
purpose and was always dedicated to
a cause. He never walked away from
an idea or a project, but saw them
through to the end.
Anderson died on Tuesday (Oct.
25).
Born on November 23, 1935 and
raised on a farm in southwest Iowa,
he graduated from Wichita State
University in 1959 with a B.A. in
political science. He married his wife
Annette, of 54 yrs, on June 29, 1957.
While in college he was employed
as the editor of the entertainment
section of the Wichita Beacon
newspaper.
His working life began in 1959
when he was employed as the
membership organizer for the
Webster County Farm Bureau until
1961. From 1961-1967, he was
employed by the Minnesota Farm
Bureau as information director.
In 1967, he moved his young
family of five to the Tysons Corner
area to accept a position with the
American Farm Bureau Federation
as a lobbyist. He then worked for
IPAA (Independent Pet Association of
America) in 1976 as a lobbyist until
1989 when he went to work for the
National Republican Congressional
Committee raising money from
political action committees. Following
that, he became Congressman Jim
Saxton’s Chief of Staff from 1991 to
1992. Before retiring and moving to
Lake Monticello in 1993, he worked
for U.S. English. Their goal was to
make English the official language of
the United States.
During what was supposed to be
his retirement, he didn’t just sit back
and relax, he joined committees
at Lake Monticello, including the
Environmental Control Committee
and had served one year on the Board
of Director’s at Lake Monticello. He
also served on the Fluvanna County
Planning Commission as well as the
Board of Zoning Appeals and the
Fluvanna Chamber of Commerce.
Politics drew Anderson like a
magnet. When he couldn’t serve,
he supported those whose political
views he believed in. He worked
vigorously for the Republican Party.
Throughout his time living in
Fluvanna, he had met Mike Clark.
T h e y
eventually
became close
friends and
business
partners in
a variety of
b u s i n e s s e s,
including
Enviro Clean,
S e r e n i t y,
Fluvanna
Development
Bill Anderson
and Starlite
LLC.
“While he was writing a column
for the Central Virginian, Bill used to
stop by the sites, talk with me when
I was working on various projects,
especially historical projects.” Bill
offered Mike support for his business
ventures and they became partners.
“We were the closest of friends, we
shared everything. He always stood
by my side, he was a great ally of
mine, always supported me. We had
some rough times, ups and downs
and disappointments too.”
”He was a bulldog with a sensitive
heart. Even though he had a rough
edge, he really helped so many
people. Even those who may
have disagreed with him at times,
respected him for the way he stood
his ground,” said Clark.
One of Anderson’s pet undertakings
was his writing. He wrote columns
for the Central Virginian and for the
Fluvanna Review for a number of
years.
“I knew Bill for about 25 years,”
said Len Gardner, founder of the
Fluvanna Review. “He supported
me when I was on the Board of
Supervisors and has always been a
friend and supporter for as long as I
have known him. He was very civic
minded.”
As one of the co-founders of the
Fluvanna Arts Council, Anderson
was also one of the driving forces
behind the renovation of the old high
school auditorium which became the
Carysbrook Performing Arts Center
in 1997. This was only one of his
many visions for Fluvanna County.
Jessica Woodcock, who worked
with both Bill and his wife Annette
on the Fluvanna Arts Council board,
had enormous admiration for
Anderson’s efforts to bring the arts to
rural Fluvanna and make it a success.
“He was a hard worker and I
have a tremendous amount of
respect for the way he maintained
his independence,” said Woodcock
refererring to Anderson’s lifelong
disability caused by the crippling
effects of polio. “He was also
excellent at maintaining relations
with county officials.”
But whatever peopel choose to
remember about Bill Anderson, most
will admit he was self-reliant, diligent
and certainly had a set of principles
he lived by and believed in, driving
him further toward many new and
various goals in life. Perhaps, some
will be reminded of Bill’s roots as
he tootled along on his tractor out
in the fields at Old Farm Day, always
working tirelessly for a cause.
Anderson is survived by his wife
Annette, and three children, Desiree
Anderson of Ashburn; Mike Anderson
of Fluvanna County, and Jack
Anderson of Ocean View, Delaware.
He also leaves behind grandchildren,
Christian and Taylor.
There will be no memorial service.
A funeral will be held in Iowa and
he will be laid to rest in his family
plot. For those who would like to
celebrate Anderson’s life, there will
be memorial on Jan. 7 at Crossroads
Auto Repair. This will open to the
public.
“Bill wouldn’t want people
mourning him, he liked a good
party,” said Clark.

Remembering the rescuers who died in the line of duty
By Kristin Sancken
Correspondent
Since Sept. 11, 2001, references
to rescue workers as heroes are
everywhere. Even here in Fluvanna,
350-miles away, we had a memorial
dedication for the 10th anniversary
of the attacks. It’s easy to see why
9/11 first responders were so heroic
in the aftermath of a national attack,
but it’s also easy to take for granted
the people within our community
who take similar risks for the sake
of others every single day. At that
same dedication commemorating
the 10th anniversary of 9/11, two Lake
Monticello EMTs, who died in 1989,
were also honored – Mark Lockhart
and Russell Copeland. “It was a great honor. It was sad, but
bittersweet,” said Carrollynn Lockhart
Miller, Mark’s widow who has since
remarried. “It was wonderful that the
rescue squad not only remembered
him, but included myself and my
family in the memorial that included
the entire nation. I’m very touched.”
Those who were involved with the
accident will never forget it, just as we
as Americans will never forget 9/11.
The accident
On May 23, 1989, at 1:09 p.m.,
several heroes from the Lake
Monticello Rescue squad faced their
own mortality on Rt. 53 in Fluvanna
County. The sirens and lights were on
as the 1981 box-type Ford ambulance
headed down Rt. 53 with a 40-yearold woman suffering from chest
pains. Just past the Fluvanna line, the
driver of the ambulance looked down
at his radio to change the channel to
the UVA hospital frequency.
The driver crossed the double
line into the oncoming lane and
apparently overcorrected. As he
swerved to get back into the right lane,
he was going 45 miles per hour when
the right wheel went off the road,
stuck the pipe beneath a driveway,
and flipped the ambulance onto its
left side. Almost instantaneously, a
1988 Dodge Dynasty driven by Joseph
Tolle, 70, collided with the front top of
the ambulance cab.
The three EMTs in the back – W.
Russell “Russ” Copeland, Mark
Lockhart and Alice Flanders – were
ejected out a gaping hole that
opened in the rear of the ambulance.
Copeland, 65, died instantly. Lockhart,
28, was flown to University of Virginia
(UVA) Medical Center and died several
hours later of his injuries. The third
EMT, Alice Flanders, 52, was also taken
to UVA for her extensive injuries and
miraculously survived. The drivers
and passengers of the ambulance
and the Dodge were also taken to the
hospital and survived. The patient,
Bonnie Spradlin, remained strapped
to the gurney but was injured from
flying medical equipment as the
vehicle overturned.
“Everybody was tied down in the
ambulance but the three of us. I
was thrown out and I survived and
they didn’t. I can’t tell you why that
happened,” said Flanders, who still
lives at Lake Monticello.
Police closed Rt. 53 for 3 hours,
causing cars to jam up in both
directions.
“I don’t think I’ll ever forget it,
I really don’t. When something
happens like that it flashes through
your mind in still pictures, it’s weird,”
said Palmyra resident Liz Ellis, who
was an eye witness to the aftermath of
the crash. “I just drove up the hill and
there was an ambulance laying on its
side. Of course you stop. The poison
ivy was out, and this ambulance had
rolled into poison ivy and I thought,
‘my God, all of these people are going
to be covered in poison ivy’ – the
weird things that go through your
head. I walked around to the back
of the ambulance, and I saw Alice. I
didn’t really know her very well, but
I had just been introduced to her
by mutual friends a while ago and
A memorial plaque was dedicated at the Lake Monticello firehouse on Sept. 11.

recognized her. I remember bringing
a blanket for Alice from the back of
my car. I remember saying to her
‘you’re the luckiest person in this
accident.’ Then everything exploded
into total chaos. Another weird thing
I remember – this is so weird – is that
there were beautiful dogwoods there.
I remember the helicopter coming
down and thinking ‘he’s going to kill
those trees, those beautiful trees.’”
Those who survived the accident
were, understandably, never the same. Flanders and her husband kept
every article and obituary chronicling
the accident, trying to make sense of
what happened and why she survived.
Even 22 years later, Flanders struggles
to tell the story without tears in her
eyes.
“It took me years to get the sound of
that racket out of my head so I could
sleep at night,” said Flanders, referring
to sound the accident. “The driver, he
never got over it. Every time he saw
me he cried. He later got cancer and
wouldn’t treat it, he was ready to go.”
Impact on the rescue squad
At the time of the accident, the Lake
Monticello Rescue Squad only had
one ambulance, housed at the marina.
The
Charlottesville-Albemarle
Rescue Squad lent one of their four
ambulances to Lake Monticello until
they could finance a new one.
The Virginia Department of Motor
Vehicles Crash Investigation Team
published a report of the event
in December of 1989. The report
emphasized the dangers of directing
attention from the driving task, the
life-saving capacities of safety belt
use, and the importance of proper
placement of radios in ambulances.
Apparently the placement of the radio
in the cab made it difficult for the
driver to see the display.
Since the accident, what things that
can change at the Lake Monticello
Rescue Squad to keep EMTs safer
have.
“We encourage our EMTs in the back
to stay belted as long as they possibly
can, but they have to be able to move
around to treat the patient,” said

current Chief Larry York of the Lake
Monticello Rescue Squad. “As anyone
who joins the rescue squad knows, we
still bring up this accident to remind
people that this is dangerous work.”
Even though speed had little to do
with the crash in 1989, four years ago
the Rescue Squad also made a policy
change in the speed an ambulance
could go.
“Even in a dire situation, our
ambulances can only go ten miles
over the speed limit,” said York. “If
someone is really, seriously ill, we can
always call the Pegasus helicopter and
have them flown into UVA in a matter
of minutes.”
Two yearly awards for EMTs at the
Rescue Squad have also been named
after Mark and Russ.
Mark Wayne Lockhart
Mark Wayne Lockhart
Mark Lockhart, 28, and his wife
Carrollynn had only been volunteering
with the Rescue Squad a little over a
month. They were both nurses at UVA
Hospital – Mark in the burn unit and
Carrollynn in the Pediatric Intensive
Care Unit.
“Carrollynn [Mark’s wife] was
pregnant and she was supposed to
have run that call but because she was
pregnant she didn’t because of the
fumes in the back of the ambulance.
She stayed home, and her husband
went out on the call. I was filling in
for John Maple because he was out
in Richmond,” said Flanders. “There
are so many little things, details, that
made that day happen the way it did.”
Carrollynn later gave birth to a
baby boy, Seth Nesbitt Lockhart, six
months after his father’s death. In
lieu of flowers at Lockhart’s funeral,
memorial tributes were made to his
future son’s college fund.
Seth was able to attend the
dedication at the Lake Monticello Fire
Station on Sept. 11, 2011. He is now a
third year student at Liberty University
majoring in visual communications.
“He was very honored, and very
impressed that there was such deep
feelings toward his father, considering
his father had only been on the squad
very briefly before the accident had
occurred,” said Carrollynn of Seth’s
impression of the dedication.
Mark was a charter member of the
Nazarene Church of Charlottesville
and a member of the Jefferson
Literary and Debating Society. In 1995
the National EMS Memorial Service in
Colorado Springs, Colorado honored
him.
Carrollynn wants Mark to be
remembered “as the hero that he
was, an unwanted hero, but that’s
ultimately what it became, since he
lost his life trying to serve others.
We had it put on his headstone, ‘he
knew the risk of real love.’ He had said
something like that before he died. We
felt that it very much was his spirit.”
Wilbur Russell Copeland
Attempts to reach a Copeland family
member were unsuccessful.
Copeland was a four-year rescue
squad member, a retired postal worker
and World War II U.S. Army veteran.
He was survived by his wife, Dorothy
Koontz Copeland, and five stepchildren and five biological children;
Wilbur Russell Copeland Jr., Daniel
Woodward Copeland, Shelton Wyatt
Copeland, Rebecca Fay Copeland, and
Cynthia Copeland Thompson.
In an article shortly after his
death, his stepdaughter Ellen Cardell
described Copeland as “a very kind
man. He would do for anybody
without expecting anything in return.”

What is tough? Tell me, tell me
There is a song by Tower of Power off
their Soul Vaccination album (yes, it’s that
old) called “What is Hip.” I’ve had it in
my head for several days:
What is Hip?
Tell me, Tell me. If you think you
know?
What is Hip?
And if you’re really hip the passing
years will show.
An incredible horn section bangs on
while the lyrics question what people
think is cool at the moment and if it
might become outdated in time. But I
keep changing the words in my head
and hear, “What is tough? Tell me, tell
me. Do you think you know?”
Much has been written and
discussed about what is tough lately
with the recent running of the Tough
Mudder at Wintergreen Resort. The
Tough Mudder bills itself as the
“toughest event on the planet.” After
hearing this, my immediate reaction
was, not a chance unless you have to
give birth while running the event.
That preposterous situation almost
happened recently when Amber Miller
ran the Chicago marathon 39 weeks
pregnant. According to the Chicago
Tribune she had contractions as she
crossed the finish line. Amber must
have set some sort of world record
with a time of 6 hours, 25 minutes, 50
seconds, and contractions at miles 14
through 26.
If she had given birth on the course,
and the ambulance crossed the finish
line, would the baby get the credit for
the youngest person to cross the finish
line in a marathon?
Over the Tough Mudder weekend,
more than 15,000 people ran through
27 different and insane obstacles on
the 10-mile course up, over, around,
and up again at Wintergreen Resort
to earn themselves the title of Tough
Mudder. An example of the insanity:
The very last obstacle had mudders run
through hundreds of dangling wires,
some containing a 10,000 volt shock.
“Mudders” – and those who paid an
entrance fee to watch –
- - were not
sure which wires were “live” until they
dashed through the electric spaghetti
hit the ground like a sack of flour. The
jolt incapacitated most sending them
face first into the mud at their feet.
Jolly good fun.
Still more obstacles had mudders
choking on clouds of smoke, crawling
under barbed wire through mud and
sand, carrying logs up and down ski
slopes, being sprayed with fire hoses
and snow makers, scaling 12-foot
walls, climbing cargo nets. The one
that would have made me weep: the
Chernobyl Jacuzzis, which are full-size
dumpsters filled with icy slush water
that mudders had to swim through,
making sure to go under the wooden 2
X 12 halfway across thus ensuring the
mudder would have to dunk his or her
head completely under the ice before
crawling out the other side. Numbness
ensued.
Those who finished did not receive
ribbons, medals or shiny trophies.
Instead, Mudders who crossed the
finish line received an orange head
band and a beer. Teamwork and
camaraderie were the themes of the
day. Time was not kept. Many of the
obstacles couldn’t be done without
the help of teammates. According
to those at the event, it was some of
the most ridiculous fun they’ve ever
experienced.
Husband and fellow Lake Monticello
Water Rescue Team member Jamie
Beadle have the head bands to prove it.

Let’s do lunch
By Mona Orange
Welcome to the neighborhood
A lot has been written about
Amici’s Italian Bistro in Scottsville
since they opened in January. The
owner, Alexandra, is the daughter
of Sal, of Sal’s Italian Restaurant
in Fork Union and the wife of Joe,
owner of Pino’s Restaurant in Dilwyn.
My guess is with all the Italian food
being cooked around her, Alexandra
must have marinara sauce flowing
through her veins. More importantly
for Scottsville, she has clearly learned
the art of creating a really good
neighborhood Italian restaurant.
Right on Scottsville’s main street,
the green and white striped awning
and large attractive windows beckon
you inside. And once inside, the
aroma of garlic, onion and tomatoes
lets you know that you are about to
experience a little bit of Italy - Sicilian
style.
We chose Fried Zucchini Sticks with
marinara sauce as an appetizer to
share at $5.95. The portion was large
and the zucchini were light and crispy,
not greasy at all. It was a cold and
rainy afternoon so Dick and I shared
Minestrone soup which was served
in an attractive large white bowl for
$3.75. It was hot and tasty with a
light broth, vegetables and beans.
Art wanted to try the Italian Wedding
Soup but it was not available. We all ordered off the dinner menu,
so salads and bread came with the
meal. The four of us agreed that the
salads were crisp and fresh with
well prepared dressings. The bread
was a little different and delicious sort of a combination of bread and
a breadstick. I ordered the Chicken
Parmesan at $10.95, which I really
enjoyed. Two chicken cutlets were
cooked perfectly, crisply breaded on
the outside and juicy on the inside. I
requested angel hair pasta and it was
served with a red meat sauce that was
hearty and filling. Linda ordered the
Eggplant Parmesan and thought it
was just okay. She liked the spaghetti
and marinara sauce more.
Dick ordered one of his favorite
Italian dinners, sausage and peppers
with spaghetti at $9.95. He especially
liked the presentation - the sausages,
which had a little kick, were sliced
down the middle. The peppers filled
the opening, making it easy to eat
the sausage and peppers on the same
fork. Art was the most adventurous
and ordered Chicken Cacciatore at
$12.95. Two well cooked chicken
cutlets were in a sauce filled with
Amici’s Italian Bistro

Open Mon., Wed., Thul, Fri. and Sat.

Closed Tuesday
olives, peppers, onions and tomatoes.
A side of spaghetti and marinara
sauce was served in a separate bowl. For dessert we ordered the one
made in-house, Tiramisu. It was really
good but a little frozen inside. The
problem is that once made, there is
no way to keep fresh so it is put in
the freezer. It is difficult to defrost
without it getting mushy. I suggested
to Alexandra that they just list it as
frozen Tiramisu - it will be something
different and a treat.
The menu is quite extensive,
offering subs from $5.25 to $7.25,
pizza’s from $4.25 to $7.25, and pasta
dishes that start at $9.95. Salads, like
grilled chicken with mozzarella and
Greek salad with Feta cheese and
olives are very large and make a great
lunch at $7.50. Some things for you to know
before you go: Amici’s is small with
only 13 tables, giving the restaurant
an intimate feeling. And although
there is often a wait for dinner, the
lunch crowd is lighter and there is
no problem getting a table. The walls
are painted a cinnamon color – black
slate floors and dark brown tables
and chairs – which all help to make
the room more homey. There is a
chalkboard with specials, appetizers,
soups, etc., as well as bright prints,
posters, and wine displayed on the
walls. The service was excellent. We
did not feel rushed and all of our
questions were answered completely.
Alexandra explained to me that
especially with their dinner menu,
Amici’s tries to cater to people’s
individual tastes. Each entrée is
prepared individually, so if you don’t
like a particular ingredient or have
an allergy, they will make the dish
to your liking. Once again, Amici’s
operates like a neighborhood Italian
restaurant, and I say, welcome to the
neighborhood. Please let me know
what you think about this restaurant
and others that I review or suggestions
for future restaurants by emailing me

scrumptious carrot cake and cookies
to the crowd with Greenberries
coffee.
“This is the best carrot cake,” said

Educational program on snakes draws crowd
By Page H. Gifford
Correspondent
Bill Feeney, a master naturalist,
addressed a room full of nearly 100
adults and children at an educational
program on snake identification
presented by the Lake Monticello
Wildlife Committee on Wednesday,
(Oct. 26) at the Lake Monticello
clubhouse.
The purpose of these programs is to
educate the public in humane ways of
understanding wildlife. The
committee is focused
on a gentle approach
to dealing with the
various aspects of
wildlife rather than
using lethal means.
Education is the key
component.
Before the program,
flyers had originally had
photos of venomous and
non-venomous snakes. Some
felt seeing these flyers would upset
their children. The committee agreed
that this why education is essential
and that wildlife does not need to be
feared but understood. Understanding
the characteristics and the habitats of a
variety of wildlife in our area will help
adults and children to better informed
and less fearful.
Feeney, with 35 years experience
as a biologist, focuses on amphibians,
mostly snakes and frogs.
“Snakes are ectoderms, covered with
dry scales. They have no ability to hear
but feel vibrations through their body
and have a strong sense of smell,” said
Feeney. “They do not stalk humans. All
snakes are carnivores; you will not find
a plant eating snake.”
“Non-venomous snakes are gentle.
Venomous snakes in our area are
mostly the copperhead, some timber
rattlers and the cottonmouth, though
that is found mostly is south-eastern
Virginia.”
Speaking about their habitats, Feeney
stated, “They like grassy gardens, rocky
outcrops, aquatic areas, buildings,
particularly old barns. Farmers like
the black snakes, they patrol the
barn and get rid of rodents. Threats
to their habitats include habitat loss
and fragmentation, roads, intentional
destruction, collection, pesticides and
herbicides, disease, cats and dogs.”
He added that under The Virginia
Wildlife Action Plan, there is protection
for snakes and their habitats. Snake
Force One with
the
Virginia
Herpetological
Society is another
group
studying
snakes and sharing
a
wealth
of
information
on
various
species and
habitats.
F e e n e y
identified some
common snakes
in
Virginia
and
among the non-venomous
were the Worm snake. “This snake is
harmless but it is often mistaken for a
copperhead but it is small. Some keep
it as a pet. The same is true of the Corn
Snake, which is also mistaken for a
Copperhead because of its colors. The
rough green snake is also harmless as
is the Queen snake, which likes aquatic
areas.”
“There are some non-venomous
snakes that will bite if caught. They
include the Northern Black Racer,
Eastern Rattlesnake, and the Eastern
King Snake. The Eastern King Snake
is immune to venom and that’s why
it is the king. It also uses a constrictor
action and the Rattler will lift itself
up to allow the King underneath then
pound on him with his body before
the King can wrap himself around the
Rattler.”
The Eastern Garter Snake got its
name because their pattern resembled
men’s garters.
He also discussed the more
venomous snakes. “An Eastern Hog
Nose may strike out and hiss but

not bite. It also likes to play dead.
The Northern Water Snake will bite
repeatedly, the Eastern Cottonmouth
floats high in the water. The Northern
Copperhead has hourglass bands on
his back and the young have a yellow
tipped tail, the same as the young
Cottonmouth. A Timber Rattler is not
usually found near human habitation.”
He summed up the identification
by stating that those identifying or
interested in snakes should learn
more about the habitat and location,
color, pattern and body shape, pupils
and hear sensing pits on the head and
defensive behavior.
“Discourage fears about snakes,
learn more about them through
wildlife programs and teach children
to observe not to capture,” he said.
Those that lived on the Lake,
had questions on prevention. Later,
Feeney shared the following with the
Wildlife Committee regarding snake
management suggestions for the home
and grounds:
• To discourage snakes, reduce shelter
(brush piles, thick shrubbery, tall
grass, etc.).
• Block entrances to your home
(around pipes, foundation cracks,
attic vents, etc.)
• Reduce rodent populations and
other snake prey (or let the snakes
do it!).
• Eliminate excess prey attractants
(spilled bird seed, pet food, etc.).
• “Repellents” (sulfur, moth balls,
Dr.T’s, etc) have very little or no
value.
• No legal toxicants or fumigants are
registered.
• Snake-proof fencing can work for
some situations but this is fairly
expensive.
To remove snakes from inside the
home:
• “Glue traps” can catch the snake
(release outside with vegetable oil).
• Pile of damp burlap sacks may
attract the snake, then use large
scoop to take pile outside.
• Put your arm in pillow case, grab the
snake, pull case around the snake,
tie or knot the bag.
• Shooting or axing the snake is not
recommended. This can be messy.

The farrier’s art: Stepping back in time
By Heather Harris
Correspondent
You’re likely to pass him on the road
and not give him a second glance.
With just a pickup truck and a modestsized trailer, Lake Monticello resident
Gary Shifflett is rather inconspicuous
as he criss-crosses the back roads of
Central Virginia. He plays a vital but
often overlooked role in the equestrian
world. He is a farrier.
Though he’s only been shoeing
horses professionally for six years,
Shifflett has been around the business
most of his life. His father shod his own
horses and gave Shifflett his first look at
this age-old trade. “That’s kind of how I
got into it. He showed me the basics at
a young age,” Shifflett says. He became
fascinated with horseshoeing as a teen,
but admits he didn’t start taking it
seriously until he was twenty-five.
After attending a two-month
training course at the Danny Ward
Horseshoeing School in Martinsville,
Shifflett began an apprenticeship with
long-time farrier David Watson. Three
or four days each week, he would
accompany Watson on his barn visits.
It was during this time that Shifflett
was able to develop his skills. “Most of
what you learn is once you get out &
start apprenticing,” he said.
Like Shifflett, Watson learned the
tricks of the trade from his father, Eddie
Watson. Having shod his first horse at
age sixteen, Watson has been in the
farrier business for nearly twenty-nine
years. He never had any formal training
and was taught everything by his father
during a seven year apprenticeship.
Watson’s reputation as a horseshoer
has earned him a rather impressive list
of clients. He is currently the official
shoer for Thailand’s 3-Day Eventing
Team, including local Thai-American
rider Nina Ligon. She is ranked #6
overall in the nation. In the past, he
shod horses for actress Sissy Spacek.
His job has allowed him to travel allexpenses-paid to countries such as
England, China, the Czech Republic,
and Germany.
Despite
a
relatively
short
professional career as a farrier, Shifflett
has an impressive clientèle as well. He
shoes horses for Tivoli Farm where
3-Day Eventing rider William Coleman
resides. Coleman performs at the
3-star and 4-star levels and is likely to
compete in the London 2012 Olympic
Games. Another client of Shifflett’s is
Nag’s Head Farm, home of Combined
Driving competitor Josh Rector. Rector
finished fourth in the 2007 US Pairs
Championships. Shifflett will soon be
flying to California to shoe for clients
competing at an event there.
Watching Shifflett work is like
stepping back in time. There are no
fancy gadgets and most of the tools
are hand-powered. He uses simple
equipment like a hoof knife, crease nail
puller, and rasp. Aluminum horseshoes
are shaped on a stall jack using a ballpeen hammer.

David Watson taught Gary Shifflett his horseshoeing skills.
Inside the trailer you’ll find a
propane-fueled forge which heats
up to 1800°F. Shifflett uses the forge
to heat the steel horseshoes before
shaping them. While Shifflett has
only used gas-fueled forges, Watson
started out using a coal-powered forge.
He didn’t switch over to gas until the
1990s. Coal-powered forges were often
problematic. If not watched closely,
the forges could become too hot and
destroy a horseshoe.
Every now and then, a new
horseshoeing product is introduced,
but these are usually gimmicks. “There
are products you almost chuckle at
when they come out,” Watson laughed.
Nothing beats the tried and true tools
that Shifflett and Watson rely on.
The
biggest
advancement
in
horseshoeing has been the creation of
pre-manufactured shoes. These save
farriers a significant amount of time
and energy since they no longer have
to make a shoe from scratch. With
just a slight bit of reshaping, a premanufactured shoe can be easily fitted
to most horses. “There are some cases
where a handmade shoe is in order,”
Shifflett added. Handmade shoes may
be necessary when a horse has an
injury or special hoof condition.
Much like how an athlete’s shoes
change depending on the sport, so do
a horse’s shoes. For competitive horses,
Shifflett will often drill holes through a
shoe and into the hoof so caulk plugs
can be added when needed. These
caulk plugs vary in size and help with
traction.
Both Shifflett and Watson work on
their own nowadays, but a few times a
month they’ll team up and shoe horses
together. “I have a book of clients
and he has a book of clients, but we
like working together too,” Shifflett
said. The two men have formed a
camaraderie and continue to help each
other out. Even towards other farriers,
Watson said “We’re buddies. We don’t
see them as competition.” Horseshoers
are indeed a close-knit community.
Shifflett remarked, “It’s almost like a
fraternity of guys.”
While there’s always a risk when
you have a half-ton animal’s hoof
in your hands , neither Shifflett nor
Watson have suffered any major
bodily harm. “Knock on wood, nothing
serious so far,” said Shifflett. Smashed
fingernails and minor cuts seem to be
the most common injuries. Watson has
experienced several broken toes and
a few deep cuts. “Broken toes don’t
stop you,” Watson said. Both farriers
try their best not to put themselves
in dangerous situations and refuse to
work on a horse if they’re alone.
Riders and trainers are usually
the ones being credited for a horse’s
success, but farriers have a large role in
a horse’s success as well. Shifflett said,
“You’re not just their horseshoer. You’re
actually part of a team. Between us and
the vets and the trainers... it’s really a
team effort.” Hoof health is important
to a horse’s overall well-being. When a
rider sets out on a course or enters a
riding ring, they’ve put their trust in the
farrier. If a shoe is not fitted properly or
comes loose, it could have disastrous
consequences.
“A lot of the horses we do are horses
that compete on a very high level.
There’s a lot asked and expected of
them to perform at that level. We can’t
ever get stagnant in what we’re doing
and be happy with that,” Watson said.
As farriers, the two men are essentially
on call 24/7. An emergency could arise
at any time and they must be ready to
help their clients.
At the end of the day, it’s a job Shifflett
and his mentor get a lot of satisfaction
from. Shifflett said with a smile, “The
horse is happy, the owner is happy, and
then we’re happy.”

Lady Flucos shake up cross country world
By Duncan Nixon
Correspondent
The Fluvanna County girls’ cross
country team scored an historic
victory in the Jefferson District meet
held Wednesday (Oct. 26).
Running over the 5K Panorama
Farms cross country course in
Earlysville, the Lady Flucos won the
Jefferson District crown, and easily
defeated several strong Jefferson
District opponents. The Flucos
finished with a total of 44, while
Western Albemarle and Powhatan,
both strong teams, came in second
and third at 62 and 69 respectively.
This is an event that Western
Albemarle has won consistently
and easily over the past few years.
The Flucos’ victory really shakes up
the Jefferson District cross country
world.
In cross country, the low score
wins because the team’s score is the
total of the finishing places of each
teams’ best five runners, out of seven
competitors. So, with a score of 44,
The Flucos achieved an average
finish of better than ninth for their
five best runners, while the second
place team had an average finish of a
little worse than twelfth.
As has been the case all season,
the Flucos were led by two
very impressive young runners.
Sophomore Nicki Douma finished in
second place overall with a time of
20:24, while freshman Devon Burger
was close behind in fourth place with
a time of 21:02.
Because cross country is a team
sport, two top five finishers do not
guarantee victory. A team must have
depth, and five solid performances
are needed to win a multi-school
meet. This is exactly what Coach
Rose Brogan’s team is capable of
achieving. Behind Douma and
Burger, the Flucos got a tenth
place finish from junior Stephanie
Bossung, an eleventh place finish
from freshman Peyton Olinger, and a
seventeenth place finish from junior
Kelsey Schlein. These girls finished
in 21:02, 21;22 and 22:03. The depth
of Coach Brogan’s squad is further
demonstrated by the fact that her six
and seventh runners finished in the
top 25, as freshman Hayley Kline and
sophomore Brooke Haislip finished
in 23rd and 25th place.
Further depth was demonstrated
by the Lady Flucos’ performance
in the open race that followed the
varsity event. This race includes
team members from all the district
schools who are not among the top
seven on their respective teams. The
Flucos’ senior Taylor Dean won the
The Fluvanna County High School Girls’ Cross Country team not only won the 2011 Jefferson District Girls’ Cross Country
championship, but their coach – Rose Brogan – was named the 2011 Jefferson District Girls’ Cross Country Coach of the Year.
“These ladies dedicated many hours of practice in the heat of the summer and the chill of fall in order to accomplish this goal,’’
said Jason A. Lee Sr., the assistant principal. “These ladies were so dedicated that they have held practice before school starts at
as early as 6 a.m. I guess the early bird does get the worm or in this case the trophy.”
Top row: Megan Graham, Mary McGeehee, Emmy Derry, Hannah Lascano, Lynn Ruffa, Caroline Daniels, Brooke Haislip
2nd row: Erin Small, Hannah Corbin, Melissa Ludwig, Kyle Fulton, Kelsey Schlein,
3rd row: Carrie Dominic, Peyton Olinger, Samantha Lowe, Taylor Dean, Hayley Klein
Bottom row: Erin Edgerton, Renee Byers, Stephanie Bossong, Nicole Douma, Devon Burger, Front: Coach Rose Brogan
open meet, and Bridget Bossung,
Erin Edgerton and Hannah Lascano
were 4th, 6th and 13th. Therefore,
four of the top 15 finishers in the
open race were also Flucos. As might
be expected, Coach Brogan was
ecstatic after the race, and praised
her whole team for its determination
and hard work over the season. It
also comes as no surprise that Coach
Brogan was honored after the meet
as Jefferson District women’s cross
country Coach of the Year.
The Jefferson District boys cross
country meet was also held at
Panorama Farms on Wednesday
October 24. Coach Tom Casto’s team
finished fifth, but two runners did
extremely well and will be moving
on to regionals. Junior Chris Markam
finished the 5K race in sixth place
overall in 17:27 and freshman Travis
Moe was 13th in 17:51, Both of these
runners earned All-Jefferson District
honors, based on their finishing
position .
The girls team had four runners
make All-Jefferson District, with
Nicki
Douma,
Devon
Burger,
Stephanie Bossung, and Peyton
Olinger achieving this honor. The
girl’s team will now compete as a full
team in the Regional meet which will
be held on November 3 at the cross
country course at Great Meadows, at
The Plains in Northern Virginia.
All seven of Coach Brogan’s top
runners who will be going to the
Regional meet are underclassmen.
Accordingly, it looks like the Fluco
girls’ cross country team should be
outstanding well into the future.
Hannah Miller named volleyball player of the year
The Jefferson District volleyball coaches have named junior Hannah
Miller the player of the year.
The Fluco volleyball star has helped a strong team stay strong. “She is an
amazing young woman,’’ said Fluco volleyball coach Christi Harlow. “Her
competitive nature and love for the sport are a match made in heaven.”
Miller was also named to the first All-Jefferson District volleyball team.
Senior Sammi Toy was named to the second team. - Duncan Nixon

It’s time to dig in. The Lady Flucos
volleyball team heads into their district
play with a 16-6 regular season record
behind them, and hopefully, many
more wins ahead. Oct. 27 heralded the
first game of district play, but it was the
last game to ever be played in the Shoebox, and the girls went out with a bang
with a 3-0 (25-5, 25-9, 25-11) win over
Charlottesville.
The rest of the games will be on the
road, and the girls are looking to come
out on top. “At this point, it’s win or go
home,” said Coach Christi Garrett. As
the season nears its end, so does the
career of the seniors on the team. “I
always miss my kids,” said Garrett. “I
miss the season. I miss interacting with
them every day,” she added.
Nobody can predict what the future
holds for the team, but Garrett says that

Junior varsity girls’ volleyball team
finished the season with an overall record of 6 wins, 10 losses, and 1 tie. The
girls won two of the three final home
games, winning 2-0 against both Charlottesville and Monticello, but lost the
last game to Western, 0-2.
Varsity football
Western Albemarle wasn’t the only
opponent that the Fluco football team
faced Oct. 28. They also battled against
unusual October snowfall as they
fought for a final win on the season.
They ultimately fell 45-0 to the Warriors, putting the season record at 2-8.
But the numbers don’t express the
amount of heart on the team. “I’m going to miss the team, and how close everybody is,” said senior Cody Burruss.
“We’re like a big ol’ family,” he said.
The team is losing 17 seniors this
year, but everyone is still trying to see
the bright side. “I’m sorry we couldn’t
have done more for the seniors. They
were a good group of guys,” said head
coach Jason Barnett. “But then again,
I’m excited about the new group of
guys coming up. I’m the only head
coach they’ve known, and we’ll be able
to head in the direction we need to go.”
Barnett expects them to keep improving for next season, as they work
on getting faster and executing defensive and offensive schemes. “We’re
growing more and more every season,”
said junior Joey Shaheen. And they
plan to never stop.

the girls have a lot of talent and can do
anything that they set their minds to.
The talent has been shown through
the titles awarded to players Hannah
Miller and Sammi Toy. Miller won
Player of the Year for the Jefferson District, marking herself the only junior to
make the first-district team. Toy made
second-team All District for the second
year in a row.
The girls played Nov. 1 at Monticello,
looking to leave with a win under their
belt.
On Oct. 26, the Fluvanna Cross Country team raced in the District Championship at Panorama Farms. The girls’
cross country team won districts and
the top seven girls – Nikki Douma, Devon Burger, Stephanie Bossong, Kelsey
Schlein, Peyton Olinger, Hayley Kline,
and Taylor Dean – are moving on to regionals. The regional meet will be held
Nov. 3 at Great Meadows.
“I’ll be preparing for the meet by
drinking a lot of water and orange juice
that day, and icing my legs the night
before,” said Kline.
Douma, Burger, Bossong, Olinger,
and Schlein all placed in the top 20 for
districts, while Dean won the open race
for girls. Also at the event, Coach Rose
Brogan got the Girls’ Coach of the Year
award for the Jefferson District.
The boys’ cross country team’s 5th
place showing at districts was not
enough to send the whole team to
regionals. However, Chris Markham
came in 6th and Travis Moe came in
13th, showings which secured them
both places at regionals as individuals.
“We’re still a team, so the rest of us are
going to support them [at the event],
even if the boys’ team won’t be competing overall,” said team member Nathaniel Ludwig.

Fluvanna Middle School Students
October
was
Disabilities
Awareness Month, and, to show
their support, Fluvanna Middle
School faculty and staff held a
Disability Awareness Open House
on Wednesday, Oct. 26. Many
speakers came to inform parents
about the various disabilities that
influence students’ learning in
grades 6-12 and post-secondary
education.
The
speakers
included Karen Decker, Emily
LeSeur, Makayla Mefford, Susan
Hannifan, Margo Bruce, Samantha
Lewis, Mona Holmes, Christy
Schwertfeger, Julie Smith, and
Kristen Davis. Students from the
Fluvanna Middle School Student
Government Association and
Student Cadets from Fluvanna
County High School provided
child care. Patty Smith, one of
the organizers of the event, said,
“Although the turnout was less
than expected, the sessions were
very informative and interesting.”

PUBLIC HEARING
The Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors will conduct a public hearing
pursuant to Virginia Code Sections 15.2-2204 on Wednesday, November
16, 2011 at 7:00 p.m., in the Circuit Court Room at the Fluvanna County
Courts Building in Palmyra, Virginia to consider the following items:
ZMP 11:02, Southern Land Holdings, LLC – B-C with amended proffers – An ordinance to amend the proffers associated with ZMP 01:01 of the Fluvanna County Zoning
Map with respect to 1.43 acres of Tax Map 18B, Section 5, Parcel 1 to allow commercial
greenhouses to the uses permitted by-right within the B-C, Business, Convenience District.
The affected properties are located on the north side of Route 618 (Lake Monticello Road)
approximately 1000 feet west of its intersection with Route 600 (South Boston Road). This
property is located in the Palmyra Election District and is within the Rivanna Community
Planning Area.
CPA 11:01, Fluvanna County – Comprehensive Plan Text Amendment – Amend the
Comprehensive Plan by adding text and illustrations to strengthen the County’s Urban Development Area (UDA) section which is required by Virginia Code 15.2-2223.1. The Comprehensive Plan discusses UDAs as required by the Code, but these provisions will provide
more detail and clarity as to the County’s vision for its UDA. In addition to UDA amendments to the Land Use and Transportation chapters, the County is also incorporating
Telecommunications Master Plan text into the Infrastructure chapter to more accurately
reflect the County’s policies with regard to this critical infrastructure. This amendment
to the Comprehensive Plan is necessary in order for the County to properly describe its
current policies, and to more effectively enable the UDA vision and Telecommunications
Master Plan. This proposed amendment to the plan not only furthers the vision and goals
set forth previously, but is consistent with the other chapters of the plan.
ZTA 11:03, Fluvanna County –Planned Unit Development (PUD) Ordinance – An ordinance to amend and reenact Article 14 of Chapter 22 of the Fluvanna County Code with
respect to the regulation of Planned Unit Development (PUD) districts. The purpose of
the proposed amendments is to ensure compliance with the State UDA legislation. These
amendments are necessary to strengthen and improve the regulations already set forth
in the Zoning Ordinance, and to promote higher quality and appropriately scaled PUD
developments.
Copies of the complete text of the above ordinances and associated plans are available for
public review at the Office of the Fluvanna County Administrator during normal business
hours. The public is invited to attend these hearings at which persons affected may appear
and present their views. Questions or comments may be directed to Planning & Community Development Department, at (434) 591-1910.
