What we couldn’t have known at the time, is the depth and breadth of love, support and dedication that the volunteer staff would pour out over our family and in support of our newest family member, Jax. You see, on the day of his adoption, Jax ran away from home. He didn’t even make it into the house before he escaped and was running through the streets of Lake Monticello dragging a neon orange leash behind him. Not having any idea where he was or where to turn to find his way home, Jax ran the streets of Lake Monticello, and frighteningly along Rt. 53 as well. Thankfully, Jax wasn’t adopted from just any animal adoption organization, he was adopted from Caring for Creatures, a no kill animal sanctuary that makes a lifetime commitment to each and every animal that passes through its doors. As soon as Jax escaped we made the gut-wrenching call to the sanctuary to let them know what happened, and it was the best decision we ever could have made. Instantly, one of Jax’s handlers was in route to Lake Monticello to begin the search. Within an hour, at least four, and at times during the search, as many as 10, volunteer staff members were searching the streets at the Lake for Jax. Jax went missing at 1:30 on Tuesday afternoon. By 2 p.m. volunteers were combing the streets carrying treats, leashes with his scent, and calling his name. The search did not stop until late into the evening when it was finally too dark for any hope of a sighting. First thing Wednesday morning volunteers were back on the streets continuing the search, which continued until the early hours of Thursday morning. Each time a sighting was reported, multiple volunteers would be in the area within minutes. After a 9 p.m. sighting on our very own porch Wednesday night, four volunteers showed up at our house within minutes and began to search in the dark and in the rain. These volunteers chose to search without umbrellas and in some cases without jackets because they did not want to spook Jax. One dedicated volunteer, whose love and commitment for Jax was beyond evident throughout the entire search, sat in the doorway of our home until 2:30 in the morning, trying to lure him inside. After many hours without a sighting, with aching bones from sitting on floor, the volunteer finally headed home for a few hours of sleep with the plan to continue the search with the rest of the gang the next morning. Thankfully Jax found his way home around 6 am on Thursday morning and was found safe and sound in a humane trap that was set for him, but we have no doubt that if he hadn’t, the Caring for Creatures volunteer staff would not have given up until he was safe at home. Caring for Creatures has been operating for 25 years. Their approach to animal care is beyond measure. They employ natural remedies in their treatment of ailments and to calm the nerves of the animals in their care. They get to know the individual needs of each animal and work with them on training, rehabilitation, and any specialized care as necessary. They use any methods available to provide the support and care necessary to assist the animals through any special needs. They use thunder shirts for animals that are frightened by storms. They use lavender and other essential oils to help calm the animals’ nerves. They provide high quality food, stimulation, and offsite training to prepare animals for adoption. They even used an animal communicator to aid in the search for Jax. For families that don’t experience the extenuating circumstances of a lost pet, the support and dedication of the sanctuary volunteers is still clearly displayed during each adoption experience. In our case, a detailed interview about our family, our lifestyle, and the characteristics we were looking for in a dog was conducted during our visit. Several staff members worked together to discuss each animal at the sanctuary before making recommendations for our family. Their choice of dog for us could not have been a more perfect fit. Since returning home, Jax has instantly fit into our family and our lives, in ways that we never could have imagined. We are beyond in love with this dog and blessed to be entrusted with his care. We will never be able to express our sincere gratitude and thanks to the amazing staff at Caring for Creatures and we will never forget their support and dedication. If you are interested in adopting a pet, serving as a foster home, providing sleepovers during extreme weather conditions, or if you are able to provide donations, including food, pet supplies, or monetary donations we highly recommend contacting Caring for Creatures right away for a copy of their wish list or information about their adoption procedures. You can contact them via email at [email protected] or by phone at 434-842-2404. – The Hamel Family John, Stacy, Joey, Maddy, Lily and Jax Palmyra Thanks friends and family Thank you to family and dear friends Fluvanna schools, co-workers and a special thanks to bus drivers, Fluvanna County employees, all fire/rescue members, pastor house, area churches-(many, many, prayer worriers), STAB & CVEC. “In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Thessalonians 5:18. A simple “thank you” does not seem adequate to express our most sincere gratitude for all that you have done and are doing to support us during our most vulnerable time. “Thanks’ is defined in Webster’s dictionary as “an expression of appreciation or gratitude or an acknowledgement of services.” We are truly appreciative and grateful as we acknowledge the many acts of kindness shown toward us. Thanks for your prayers, love, monetary donations, food, transportation, and thoughtfulness. Friends like you are a rare gift. Your generosity has totally overwhelmed us and reflects just how much of a beautiful, kind soul you are. We will be forever thankful for the gift of time and the kindness you extended to us. Keep us in your prayers for strength and endurance as we journey through this next phase of life. We cherish your friendship and love. You have brought happiness and encouragement into our lives. In every situation you have known just what to do to add that special touch. For that and all other acts of support we say, “Thank you, Thank you, and thank you!” – George Vest & Family (Gloria, Na Vest, Jana, Chad, and Jalen Harrison) Kent Store LMOA Board deserves respect Several things need to be said about last week’s Lake Monticello Owners’ Association Board meeting, lest they go 265 Turkeysag Trail, #102 434-589-9602 www.mailboxexpresspalmyrava.com Mon.-Fri. 9-6 • Sat.10-2 Email: [email protected] Fax: 434-589-9603 265Owner: Turkeysag #102 TerryTrail, Brown Lake Monticello •Across from Food Lion 4 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | SSeptember t b 4 4, 2014 2 To advertise email: [email protected] unnoticed or unremarked upon. The turnout was an excellent expression of community involvement and concern, an exercise in local democracy too often not seen. Numerous speakers passionately addressed support of Ashlawn Grille, however uninformed or informed they were. What struck this attendee was the boorish rudeness of many participants, the jeering and booing one heard from otherwise presumably adult citizens. The LMOA Board serves the community through countless hours of meetings, pro bono by the way, and always deserves more respect than it received last week. – Jeffrey A.

Bradford Quentin Bullock of Fluvanna was indicted on nine counts, according to court documents. Bullock has five charges stemming from the robbery of the Columbia Corner Market and four from the robbery at Kidd’s Store. Fluvanna resident Dennis Thomas has also been indicted for the armed robberies of the Columbia Corner Market and Kidds’ Store. Thomas was charged with two counts of robbery, two counts of conspiracy to commit robbery, and two counts of use of a firearm in the commission of a felony. Thomas will be arraigned on Sept. 5. Quashon James of Charlottesville was indicted on four counts. James has two charges for each robbery, according to court documents. The Columbia Corner Market was robbed on October 9, 2013 and the Kidd’s Store robbery took place on September 25, 2013. Both men will be arraigned in Fluvanna County Circuit Court on September 5, 2014. In May, three members of a unit of the Bloods street gang were also charged with robbing the Columbia Corner Market. Daniel Lamont Mathis, Shantai Monique Shelton, and an unnamed juvenile – all confirmed members of the “99 Goon Syndikate” – were charged with robbery according to a federal indictment. That indictment stated that Mathis, Shelton, and the juvenile, with six others, engaged in “criminal activity including but not limited to: assault resulting in bodily injury; assault with a dangerous weapon; robbery; larceny; burglary; obstruction of justice; kidnapping; carjacking; murder; drug trafficking; and conspiracy to commit those crimes.” This indictment on federal racketeering charges also accuses Mathis and Shelton of being involved in the robbery, kidnapping, and murder of Kevin Quick, SAVE ENERGY AND FUEL COSTS • TOWING • COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC ANALYZER • TUNE-UPS • SHOCKS & STRUTS • HOSES & BELTS • CERTIFIED ASE TECHNICIANS • BRAKES & BATTERIES • LUBE & OIL CHANGE Since 1978 ALL MAKES & MODELS Home of All Star Auto Parts AUTOMOTIVE CENTERS Hours: M-F 8:00 - 4:30 • Most Major Credit Cards accepted 434-589-1405 Lake Monticello 107 Crofton Place 434-589-8652 Zion Crossroads 9654 Three Notch Road 6 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | September 4, 2014 B E BAY • ENGINE - TRANSMISSIONS • EXHAUST SYSTEMS • COMPUTERIZED 4 WHEEL ALIGNMENT • FUEL INJECTION • A/C CERTIFIED SERVICE • ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS • TRANSMISSION FLUID EXCHANGER • VA.

Photo by Tricia Johnson Concern for the future of the Ashlawn Grille prompted over 100 Lake Monticello residents to attend the Lake Monticello Owners’ Association (LMOA) Board meeting on Aug. 28. Chairperson Marlene Weaver opened the meeting by addressing the controversy over the Ashlawn Grille directly. Weaver said she knew there were “a lot of rumors” and that she had received letters and emails from residents on the topic. Weaver said that the LMOA has a contract with the Ashlawn Grille through 2016 and that “nothing has changed.” “We just ordered a $5,000 oven,” she said, and added that they first learned of the need through Facebook posts. Skip Allston contracts to run the Ashlawn Grille, which is owned and maintained by the LMOA and located in the clubhouse of the gated community. One of the amenities offered at the Lake Monticello Club House are banquet rooms, which are often reserved for private events such as wedding receptions and private parties, and for other events like meetings of local organizations. It has been the practice of LMOA to allow Allston to handle the booking of these banquet rooms if the Ashlawn Grille will be catering the event. Allston has been permitted to reserve the space at no additional charge, which has been beneficial to the catering part of his business. Residents who support Allston were concerned that the LMOA Board intended to insist that all banquet room leases be handled through their office and charged for, potentially causing the restaurant to lose business. “The approved proposal (at the meeting) was a temporary reduction in our room rates to compensate for the outdated condition of the building,” said Weaver in an interview. “These rates are set each year at budget time and will be reviewed again in a couple months during the budget cycle for 2015.” At least 10 people addressed the Board during the public comment sections of the meetings, and a petition in support of the Ashlawn Grille with 150 signatures was given to the Board. “Things are not transparent,” said Lake Monticello resident Page Gifford. She To advertise call: 434.207.0222 pointed to that lack of transparency as a contributor to the rumors in the community, and urged the Board to more clearly communicate with the residents. She also urged the residents to “have more respect for the Board. Be more open about it. I see the door opening and I hope that we can all work together.” “It is always good to see community involvement,” said Weaver in an interview. “However, it is important that the rumors don’t overtake the facts, and after hearing some of the community comments, there are still some misunderstandings,” she added. “…there has never been any action taken to close or move the restaurant. This all started because we had an architect and engineering study done on our facilities and we asked them to study our buildings based on some general requirements and give us a report with a few options as a baseline to begin our planning for renovation and/or replacement of our buildings.” “Among other things,” Weaver said, “the report included the recommendation to renovate the clubhouse and replace the golf building entirely. One of the options included a new community center to include a restaurant in a location next to the golf course where we have undeveloped land available and another option included leaving the restaurant where it was and adding an addition. No action was taken on either option except to engage an ad-hoc committee to survey the community and find out their wishes. That committee is now underway and you heard their first report last night. By October the BOD expects a report to be submitted from the ad-hoc committee.” “The data from the surveys and town halls and presented by the committee in October will be used by the Board to decide on the way forward regarding the clubhouse and the golf center,” said Weaver. ”This is the member’s time to speak out and voice their views. The first town hall conducted by the committee is Tuesday, Sept. 2 at 7 p.m. and the second town hall is Sunday, Sept. 7 at 4 p.m. It would be ideal if everyone who was present last night be among those attending the town halls.” First Friday Wine Tasting is back...

Davenport’s attorneys plan to ask that Fluvanna be held responsible for legal fees incurred by Davenport in its defense if the county loses the case. Attorney Joe Reid of McGuire Woods, the firm representing Davenport, confirmed that those fees stood at $1.6 million. Reid said, “Davenport continues to believe that this case was wrongly filed against it and as we have said in court we are asking for reimbursement of our legal fees …the county has asked for disclosure of the amount of those fees and Davenport is going to provide it. The defense costs to date exceed a million dollars, and they continue to grow.” Davenport released a statement saying: “As it has all along, Davenport stands by the advice it gave the county in connection with the financing of the new high school for Fluvanna, and remains proud 8 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | September 4, 2014 “We had foreknowledge,” Kenney said in his deposition, “that costs could climb into the mid-level six-figure range for the county.” luvanna County has failed to meet a two week deadline set by a judge in the Davenport lawsuit to produce vital emails from the email account of former County Administrator Cabell Lawton. Attorneys representing the county say the emails have been lost or destroyed. Lawton served as county administrator from 2003-2010, during which time the Board of Supervisors voted to construct the new high school and chose which bonds to use to fund the construction. State law dictates that records from county governments be maintained and archived. Failure to properly maintain county government records can result in criminal charges. The order to meet the deadline was issued at an Aug. 14 hearing in Fluvanna County Circuit Courthouse presided over by Circuit Judge Alfred D. Swersky. Swersky told county attorneys, “you’ve got two weeks to get them, two weeks from today. And I don’t think I have to remind everybody in this room what the serious ramifications are to the county if these things cannot be or are not produced.” The two week deadline set by the judge fell on Thursday, Aug. 28. At the hearing, one of the lawyers representing the county, Melissa Ann Connor, explained the situation to the judge. “Apparently when he left, his emails were totally cleaned out. We don’t know why. We don’t know who did it. The (information technology) expert for the county has attempted several times to bring those back and resurrect them in some way, shape, or form, and he says he cannot do it,” said Connor in a hearing on Aug. 14. “With regard to Cabell Lawton’s emails,” she added, “we just simply can’t obtain them.” Those emails, as well as emails from others in county administration and the Board of Supervisors, are just part of the information that was being sought by attorneys representing Davenport & Company in defending a $5 million lawsuit brought by the county against the firm. They were also looking for documentation showing how the county arrived at their calculation of damages in the suit and documentation pertaining to the refinancing of the bonds obtained to support the construction of the high school. “…with respect to all discovery, they’ve only produced from one custodian, Renee Hoover, the former finance director. They appear to not have collected email from anyone else,” said Tennille Checkovich, an attorney representing Davenport, at the Aug. 14 hearing. “So we’ve had no document production since 2012, and none from any other source other than Ms. Hoover who is not with the county anymore. We’ve asked repeatedly that they do a broader, more appropriate search for documents, and that they produce the documents remaining to this refinancing in 2012, and we haven’t received anything.” “With regard to the Board itself, several times Mr. Payne has asked the Board if they have emails regarding this,” said Connor in that hearing. “I believe one person had one email they produced.” She pointed to multiple “regime changes” and to limited county resources as reasons for the delay in responding to discovery motions. Checkovich replied, “…it’s down to really these two issues which are sort of fundamental laws with the way they approach discovery. I mean, I hear what sounds like spoliation. This is all news to me.” She then asked the judge to order the county to produce the emails and other materials. The next hearing in the Davenport lawsuit will be held on Sept. 2 in the circuit court room at the Fluvanna County courthouse. Cabell Lawton could not be reached for comment. County Attorney Fred Payne declined to comment. F to have played a role in bringing this project to completion as the Board of Supervisors directed in 2008. As stated in court, we believe this lawsuit by a later Board of Supervisors was baseless from the outset and will continue to seek its dismissal, along with a reimbursement of Davenport’s costs to defend itself, which to date are in excess of $1.6 million.” Fluvanna County Administrator Steve Nichols confirmed that Fluvanna County has spent $505,972 in attorneys’ fees. Of that amount $426,595 was paid to the attorneys of Park Palais, and $79,377 to Payne and Hodous, the law firm of Fluvanna County Attorney Fred Payne. As part of the suit, Davenport lawyers deposed a total of seven current and former supervisors as well as County Administrator Steve Nichols and Minor Eager, a community activist. All of the supervisors deposed, with the exception of Sheridan who was not permitted to answer by the attorney representing the county, indicated that they continue to support the lawsuit and believe that even at a cost of half a million dollars, it is a good investment for the county. Former Chairman of the Fluvanna Board of Supervisors Shaun Kenney indicated that the cost of the lawsuit to date was anticipated by the Board early on. “We had foreknowledge,” Kenney said in his deposition, “that costs could climb into the midlevel six-figure range for the county.” Current Vice Chairman Bob Ullenbruch stated, when asked how much money the county was willing to spend on the lawsuit, “There is no ceiling at this point.” The depositions, taken in May, show that many of the supervisors were unfamiliar with the specifics of the allegations against Davenport. Most of them expressed confidence in the county’s legal counsel’s judgment in pursuing the lawsuit. The Board filed a lawsuit against Davenport in September of 2011 in which it claimed that Davenport gave the Board bad financial advice which cost the county money. The suit alleges that Davenport’s guidance caused the county to pay more than they should have for bonds to build the new high school. It also contends that Davenport lined its pockets in the process. Initially the lawsuit was in the amount of $18 million, but it was reduced to $5 million after the county refinanced some of the bonds. Fluvanna Circuit Court will hear the next pre-trial arguments in this case on Sept. 15. Fred Payne, Fluvanna County attorney, refused to comment on the lawsuit, saying that he believes it is inappropriate to comment on ongoing litigation. – Tricia Johnson, Correspondent Supervisor Don Weaver declined to comment as well.

Photos courtesy of Saul Kaplan Longtime artist and Lake Monticello resident Saul Kaplan has published a new book titled “Drawing for Life: A Legacy.” Printed this summer, the book compiles hundreds of drawings, paintings and photographs of sculpture into a “kind of autobiography,” as Kaplan wrote in his introduction. “This book…is a condensation of the thousands of hours and thousands of works I have made in a lifetime.” What drove him to create this book? “I’m 85 now,” Kaplan said. “I had a bad winter. I guess I see my mortality. I’ve been doing artwork for over 65 years. I wanted to leave something back for the kids. When you expire most of your drawings are going to end up in the dumpster. So I collected some drawings to put in book form for my family. I called this book ‘legacy’ because this is what my kids, grandkids, and friends will have on their bookshelf or table.” All of Kaplan’s work, he said, is based on his family: his wife, his three sons, and his grandchildren. Flipping through the pages of his book shows Kaplan’s fascination with the human face – many of which start to look familiar by the last pages. Kaplan’s friends, Michael and Maggie Hoover, knew how much Kaplan wanted to leave behind a book of his work for his family. So they “waded patiently through piles of my two-dimensional work and, Some of the art in Kaplan’s book goes acting as curators, carefully selected a back to 1948 when he was in college at the representation of over 60 years of drawing Hans Hofmann School of Fine Arts in New and painting,” Kaplan wrote. “Then they York City.

Trooper Justin Ruhlman drew a distinction between a “normal citizen” and a law enforcement agent in an interview with the Fluvanna Review. “With law enforcement agencies, they’ll do their own internal investigation and decide whether or not she’ll be disciplined and have to go through driving school and things like that, whereas a normal citizen doesn’t have that. So if I were to charge her it would be like double jeopardy.” Chambers’ patrol car rear-ended another car. No one was injured. Virginia State Police Spokeswoman Corinne Geller said, in an email to the Fluvanna Review that, “a trooper is authorized to warn, summons or arrest. A trooper’s decision to (warn, summons or arrest) is based on the crash investigation, witness statements, statements provided by those involved, extent of injuries, damage to vehicles, causative factors, road conditions, weather condi- Trevis Thomas’ car was rear-ended.

The sheriff requested state police to investigate the crash in order to provide an independent and objective handling of the matter.” Sheriff Eric Hess told the Review in a text that Chambers may be punished through the department’s crash review board which meets every four months. Chambers, 51, was driving northbound on Rt. 15 when her patrol car rear-ended a car driven by Trevis Thomas, 22, who had stopped to turn left onto Rt. 616. Ruhlman said Chambers drove over a hill and “didn’t realize the vehicle was stopped.” For Residents of Louisa and Fluvanna Counties Drew Thompson Board Certified Hearing Instrument Specialist Wednesday, September 10th 9:00 -Noon (Other hours by appointment) Spring Creek Family Dentistry 34 Jefferson Court, Zion Crossroads Come in – or – call for appointment 434-977-2770 or 800-850-7994 All types and styles of Hearing Aids available • Hearing Screening – No Charge • 10 point Hearing Aid cleaning and Check-up, All Makes and Models – No Charge • Hearing Aid batteries – All Sizes Anyone that may have a hearing problem and all hearing aid users are invited to come in and see Mr. Thompson for free service and consultation. © Beltone Audiology & Hearing Aid Centers To advertise call: 434.207.0222 September 4, 2014 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | 11 Oct. 4th•9 - 4 AM Fluvanna students improve SOL math scores PM BY TRICIA JOHNSON, CORRESPONDENT Fluvanna County Public Schools (FCPS) saw a significant increase in student achievement in the Math Standards of Learning Assessments (SOLs) for the 2013-2014 school year, according to test results released by the state. In Fluvanna, 75% of students passed the mathematics assessment for their grade level or course; this compares with 74% statewide. FCPS saw a seven point increase in student performance on the state math assessment. Grade six students saw their scores increase by 12 points: this surpassed the state average by 11 points. FCPS had an emphasis on mathematics instruction during the 2013-2014 school year. Fluvanna Middle School was not fully accredited last year based on the SOL scores in math. FCPS should learn next month if the middle school has obtained accreditation when the state releases information on accreditation: they anticipate that all schools will be fully accredited. The Curriculum and Instruction Team conducted “Math Retreats” with teachers in grades three through eight. The teachers reviewed test items and discussed testing and instructional strategies. Fluvanna County High School and Fluvanna Middle School surpassed state averages for algebra I and geometry endof-course assessments. FCPS saw growth in all nine areas assessed by the state in mathematics. There are 132 school divisions in the Do you have plumbing problems? Let Ernest W. Thurston & Son help!

Fluvanna ranked 14th in performance on the grade six mathematics SOL test. Fluvanna also ranked 15th on the algebra I SOL and 20th on the geometry SOL. “The staff worked extremely hard last year. They developed professional learning communities and shared their expertise with one another. The administrators provided strong leadership and focused on student outcomes,” said Brenda Gilliam, director of curriculum and instruction for Fluvanna County Public Schools. “We are excited about the progress we have made and have set our goals higher for 2014-2015,” she added. In other subjects, English scores for end-of-course reading ranked 4th in the state, while writing ranked 13th. Grade five reading and grade five writing both increased by seven points. Fluvanna County offered AP human geography for the first time in 20132014; Fluvanna ranked #1 in the state – 100% of the students passed the test. While scores increased over last year’s performance in 14 categories, scores dropped in 19 categories. Students met or surpassed the state average scores in 17 categories but were below state average in 16 categories. Fluvanna’s least impressive scores were in grade three science where they ranked 89th (although that was an increase from last year’s rank of 93rd) and Virginia history grade four where they also ranked 89th.

On Aug. 29, the varsity team traveled to William Fleming High School in Roanoke to take on the Colonels. The Flucos lost 63 to 7. The Flucos had been very competitive throughout their season scrimmages, and were more than ready to get going. “The scrimmages are nice preparation, but it’ll be nice to play some real games,” said senior defensive back Juan Salazar. The varsity team’s first home game will be on Sept. 5 against the Spotsylvania Knights. As for the junior varsity team, their year started off on a rough note, as the Flucos lost their season opener at home against William Fleming on Aug. 27. The game was a lopsided one, with the Colonels prevailing 52-0. Under the direction of Coach Dave Johnson, team members were hoping to improve as they faced the Knights at Spotsylvania on Sept. 3. Cross Country Three weeks into the school year, the cross country team is appearing to be running swiftly under the guidance of longtime coaches Tom Casto and Rose Brogan. On Aug. 27, they traveled to Madison County and ran against a variety of other schools. Both the boys’ team and girls’ team came in first place, clearly outpacing their competitors. Standouts for the boys’ team included senior Travis Moe, junior Jonathan Corbin, junior Andy Guess, and senior Matt Jonkman. “I think our results come from the hard work that we put in every day during practice. Without it, I don’t think that we’d be as successful,” said Moe. The girls’ team also came in first place, with junior Bridget Bossong, senior Hayley Kline, freshman Kristen Cabrera, and junior Sarah Edgerton placing well. On Sept. 2, the cross country team traveled to their second meet of the season, this time at Albemarle High School. Golf Though they have faced adversity, the Fluco golf team has continued to stay mentally and emotionally strong. The team had a tough third week of competition, as they lost both of their matches. “We aren’t where we want to be right now, but we are getting better and growing as a team,” said senior Christian Baber. In the first match, the team traveled to Birdwood Golf Club on Aug. 26 to oppose the Albemarle Patriots. With a score of 193-163, the team came up short in points and were handed a loss. Fluvanna’s top four scorers in the match were sophomore Jack Stanke, who shot a 42, senior Nick Yancey, who shot a 45, Baber, who shot a 52, and freshman Brennan Baber, who shot a 54. For their second match of the week, the team played home at Lake Monticello on August 28, hosting the Orange County Hornets. Despite the Flucos’ best efforts, the result was another let-down for the Flucos, as they lost by a score of 194-174. Top scorers for that match included consistent top-seed Stanke, who shot a 41, senior Kaitlin Presley, who shot a 49, Brennan Baber, who shot a 49, and junior Tyler Marshall, who shot a 55. Though the team has had a rocky start, these golfers believe that they still have potential to finish well this season. “I believe that our best has yet to come and hopefully by the time the playoffs come around, we will be ready,” said Christian Baber. The Fluco’s next matches took place on Sept. 2, when they traveled to face the Spotsylvania Knights, and on Sept. 4, when they traveled again, this time to Monticello to oppose the Mustangs. Volleyball Still in the throes of pre-season preparation, the Fluvanna volleyball girls con- The varsity team’s first home game will be on Sept. 5 against the Spotsylvania Knights.

The team will play their first game on Sept. 4, when they host the Waynesboro Little Giants at 6 p.m. at FCHS. Following that they will play in a tournament at Albemarle High School on Sept. 6.

The Orange County team proved to have a deeper squad than the Flucos and came away with 194-174 victory. Times have changed and this is no longer the Fluvanna County “boys” golf team. Sophomore Jack Stanke played in the number one slot for the Flucos, while senior Kaitlin Presley played in the number two slot. Stanke, playing from the white tees, shot a very consistent round of 41. He had five bogies and four pars, including the very difficult ninth hole. It is not an easy task to play the front nine without recording a double bogie or worse. Presley played from the red and shot pars on the second and third holes. On the second, her very strong second shot made her the only one in the foursome to be on regulation. Unfortunately, she ran into bad luck on number four and had to take two penalty strokes on the hole. Both came on shots that looked pretty good as they came off the club, but somehow managed to find trouble. Presley went on to record a 49. This was tied for second best score for the Flucos, Orange’s top three players recorded 41, 42 and 43. Dual meets, such as this one, are scored by combining the four best scores recorded by the first six players each coach selects to compete in the meet. In this meet, freshman Brennan Baber, playing in the number four slot, matched Presley’s score of 49. The next 16 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | September 4, 2014 best score for the Flucos was a 55 recorded by junior Tyler Marshall, playing in the number five slot. Senior Christian Baber and Senior Ben Sheridan were the other starters for the Flucos. These meets are played on a medal play basis, and there are no conceded putts, and no picking up in frustration and saying “give me a nine.” These young golfers played a good brand of golf. For instance, the foursome of number 1 and number 2 players had three balls on the green and one on the fringe, on the difficult par three eighth hole. This is rarely accomplished by foursomes of regular men’s or women’s groups at the Lake. Fluco coach Bryan Searcy reports that he has 12 players on his squad this year, including two eighth graders, who cannot play in dual meets. Two of his players are girls. The Fluco golf team, which starts its season early due to the difficulty in The Fluco golf team at a home match. Photo by Duncan Nixon playing once daylight savings ends, has already had five competitions, while the Fluco football and volleyball teams still have not started their regular seasons. The golfers have played in two multiteam events and three dual meets. This was their first meet at home, over the demanding Lake Monticello course. The Fluco golfers will now travel to Spotsylvania and Monticello on Sept. 2 and 4. They will then be back at the lake to host Louisa High and Powhatan High School on Sept. 9 and 11.Their final home meet will be on Sept. 18 when they will host Western Albemarle.

Three of the cadets are from the area: • Jonathan Keaton, the son of Kristin and Brian Keaton of Palmyra has been selected to serve as platoon sergeant within E Company of the upper school’s Corps of Cadets and is promoted to the rank of staff sergeant. Keaton is a sophomore this year and has attended FUMA since the 2013-2014 academic year. • Bruce Patterson, the son of Sonya and Bruce Patterson of Fork Union, has been selected to serve as Day Student Commander within Battalion Staff of the upper school’s Corps of Cadets and is promoted to the rank of second lieutenant. Patterson is a senior this year and has attended FUMA since the 2013-2014 academic year. • Benjamin Vanderpool, the son of Elizabeth and Brian Vanderpool of Keswick has been selected to serve as Squad Leader within C Company of the upper school’s Corps of Cadets and is promoted to the rank of sergeant. Vanderpool is a sophomore this year and has attended FUMA since the 2013-2014 academic year. The students selected to serve as officers and non-commissioned officers (NCOs) in this historic boys-only high school program reflect the global diversity of the school’s student body. They come from a dozen different states including California, Florida, and New York, as well as several foreign countries including Belgium, China, Bulgaria, Russia, and South Korea. The Corps of Cadets is student-run, with adult supervision. Cadets are organized into squads of a handful of boys, led by a squad leader. Those squads join together with others to form a platoon of 20 or 30 cadets, with a platoon sergeant and a cadet officer assigned as platoon leader. Those platoons join with others to form a company with perhaps 70 to 100 cadets led by a company commander, usually supported by an executive officer and a first sergeant.

This leadership structure oversees the daily activities of students, seeing to it that daily chores are carried out, discipline is maintained, esprit de corps is built, and each student is surrounded by a positive atmosphere of achievement and accomplishment. This is not just some roleplaying game with students pretending to be leaders. Cadet leaders get real-world experience in team building, leading by example, the use of discretion in dealing with disciplinary issues, and motivating others.

Gifford A sunny Sunday afternoon in Palmyra was quiet on Main Street, except for a couple of women chatting in the front yard surrounded by a lovely blooming garden and a white picket fence. Two people pass the time in front of Maggie’s House, one sitting in the old front porch swing. Seeing Palmyra in this moment, so tranquil, makes one think of how it must have been 40 or 50 years ago. Margaret and Fred Lewis, who live on Main Street, opposite the Palmyra United Methodist Church, reminisced about a Palmyra similar to this Sunday afternoon but much different than we imagine. Margaret, now 91 and Fred, 88, have lived in Palmyra for over 50 years. Prior to his retirement, Fred managed his own radio and TV sales and repair business from 1958-1990. Margaret kept the books and took care of their children and sold TV sets. His son took over the business in 1990 and ran it until 2005. “It was as good a business as anything you could get into at the time,” said Fred. “We had a lot of business from the Lake beginning in the 1970’s. Put up most of the antennas. The cable company put us out of business.” Margaret grew up in the area and Fred was a transplant from North Carolina. After they were married, they moved to Ohio but not long after returned to the area and bought the house that once housed the Midland, the local newspaper. Fred fixed up a building in the back for the business. “Paid $5,000 for the house and the lot back in 1957,” said Fred. In all the time they lived on Main Street they recalled one house being built. Nothing much had changed said Fred except when E.W. Thomas made the move out of town. “People came and went,” he said. Jeff and Mollie Suling lived next door in the signature yellow house for 30 years. Where businesses once thrived, only government buildings remain. Fred and Margaret agree that the new court house, the new bridge, new sheriff’s offices and new library, are a few of the major changes they’ve seen over the years. Margaret spoke briefly about her hobby of collecting news clips, photos and other items about past events and current ones. The progress of Fluvanna has been slow over the years though growth at Lake Monticello has contributed to population density. Change has been slower than some would like but the Lewis’ like the slow pace and knowing everyone in town. The biggest changes are the technological advances Fred has seen over so many years. Fred has learned to adapt and finds it amazing. He is using a small tablet and he goes on Facebook and even his TV set is a new flat screen. Even Fred and Margaret have progressed but still hold onto the slow, quiet way of life reflected in the town on a sunny Sunday afternoon.
