Easy riding
Pedestrians and cyclists will have an easier time negotiating Turkey Sag Trail following improvements made by
the Virginia Department of Transportation.
The project added sidewalks, a pedestrian island with a
crosswalk and bicycle lanes to a 0.17-mile stretch of Rt.
1015 just east of Rt. 53 (Thomas Jefferson Parkway), according to VDOT.
Turkey Sag Trail lies within the Food Lion Shopping
Center and is used by 7,500 vehicles per day, as well as a
large number of pedestrians and bicyclists from the adjacent Lake Monticello community.

Storm damage
A storm blew through the area Sunday afternoon (July 15) uprooting trees and
knocking down branches in sections of Lake Monticello. Photo by Mike Solga.
I am profoundly saddened by the letter
I read from Ms. Booker in the last issue of
the Fluvanna Review. It is no secret that
our county, like the rest of the country, is
in financial straits; that throwing money
at schools does not make children
smarter; that we have already damaged
our children by shackling them with
debt that we, they and their children will
have to repay. Yet, when our Board of
Supervisors finally
and bravely stands
up for the folks
who have begged
them to stop the
spending madness,
she ignores all the
facts and soldiers on with her clarion call
to spend ever more taxpayers’ money.
If this were a comedy skit, it would
get demur smiles at the absurdity of it
all. But alas, it is not a comedy skit. To
quote John Adams, “Facts are stubborn
things; and whatever may be our wishes,
our inclinations, or the dictates of our
passion, they cannot alter the state of
facts ...” Ignoring them does not make
them go away.
Our county has spent well beyond
our means. Being generous with other
people’s money does not make board
members kindlier people. It makes them
mean. Ms. Booker, I beg you to cease and
desist. You have asked more than once
for us to spend more for your desires
and we have answered no thank you
repeatedly.

No more spending
As many Fluvanna Review readers
are aware, the county has cut its
funding for the Jefferson Area Board for
Aging’s program in Fluvanna by more
than half. This, combined with other
funding cutbacks, has led the Jefferson
Area Board for Aging (JABA) to make
the difficult but necessary decision to
reduce our Fluvanna
center
operating
59 P AL
M
OX
days from two days
B A . 2 2963
per week to one
day per week.
The change took
effect the week
@
vi
flu
of July 9 and the
v a n n ar e
center now operates
on Wednesdays only.
JABA’s CEO Gordon Walker, board
member Mozell Booker and I met with
the Fluvanna center members and staff
to discuss this news. We were humbled
by the strength and determination
shown by the members and staff as
they brainstormed and provided input
on how awareness can be spread and
donations requested for a second day
at the center. All the members were
committed to playing a part, and it was
great to see their enthusiasm and energy
as we discussed options and ways to take
action in the community.
The needs of our older adult population
are not going to fade even as we face
tough economic times. As services are
stripped away, the needs will become
even greater and community support
even more critical as we continue to
make these services and opportunities
available for those who need them most.
Fluvanna has shown incredible
strength and perseverance over these
past few months, and I am confident
this will continue. Our goal is to take
this as an opportunity to educate,
advocate and display what JABA does for
the entire Fluvanna community as we
work to seek support for this important
program. We welcome the community’s
ideas and involvement. I invite anyone
with questions regarding this program
and ways to support JABA services in
Fluvanna to contact me, Emily Daidone
at 434-817-5249.

When I read Mozell Booker’s letter
in the Review I was amazed at how
well written it was and what cogent
suggestions it made to rectify what’s
happening in Fluvanna. I didn’t write
you, though, but when I saw the letters
printed in response in this week’s Review
I knew I had to write. I feel that some of
these letter writers have an automatic
response to things that they don’t agree
with without considering that at least
something from another point of view
might make sense.
Take for instance using what
happened at UVa. as a comparison to
what happened in Fluvanna: I have

Comments from fluvannareview.com and Facebook
On a July 15 story about hiring replacements for the five fired Fluvanna directors:
I wish all new employees the best, but the Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors fired
some great people. Not sure what kind of statement they were trying to make with
that move. Easy come, easy go. With the fickle board and their hasty decisions I
would be a little uneasy about my job security. Just saying. – Paldridge659
Those “great people” forgot they were stewards of taxpayer funds when they decided
to move available money in their budgets to increase their own (and others) salaries
without approval. It seems the kind of statement the BOS made was that they cared
about upholding the integrity of county government and wanted to safeguard taxpayer money. – Deerfluco
Some of those individuals fired had been with the county a long time. The positions
may be filled but it does not replace the knowledge acquired through years of service.
They were offered a raise and they took it, who wouldn’t? It doesn’t mean they were
aware of the rules and regulations regarding the raise. – Paldridge659
On a June 29 story about a proposal to bring water to Zion Crossroads:
Sounds like a GREAT deal ... County goes on the hook for 9 million in debt to build the
pipeline, “require” connections and set rates necessary to meet operatng and debt
costs ... if it is so good why won’t private enterprise pursue it? Because, typically new
systems, and especially small and new systems, do not generate enough revenue to
pay for operatng and debt costs and are “supported” by $ from the locality’s General
Fund. I seem to recall that a word or two has been written about the capacity ofthe
County’s General Fund. – An Observer
On a July 11 story about the status of fire and rescue responsibilities in Fluvanna:
A small clarification to a point raised in the story: the majority of Scottsville Rescue’s
responses to Fluvanna County are not part of a “mutual aid” agreement, rather a
significant portion of the southwestern segment of Fluvanna is within what is called
SVRS’ “first due.” That means that Scottsvile Rescue is dispatched immediately, not
asked by Fluvanna to provide mutual aid assistance. This is a small but important
point. To address the points surrounding billing for service, the surrounbding jurisdictions (Albemarle, Louisa, etc.) partricipate in revenue recovery, or billing for service. Albemarle uses what is called “compassionate billing” regarding collection of
fees from folks who are not insured or are under insured, and I am certain that the
Virginia Department of Fire Programs (VDFP) study group will examine carefully
that process. All the ramifications of this policy were studied and checked on by the
County Attorney for Albemarle before the program was launched. I commend Fluvanna County for seeking advice and suggestions from the Virginia Department of
Fire Programs as the County seeks to move forward. – EMS provider
to admit that when the UVa. situation
hit the headlines I remarked that this
sounded a lot like the way things were
being done here in our county. It doesn’t
matter whether it’s an elected board or
an appointed board – what matters is
the way decisions are made. Are they
open and up front or done behind closed
doors, involving only a select few. In a
spate of intelligence and leadership, the
chairman of our Board of Supervisors
spent many weeks telling us why it was
necessary to look to the future and set an
adequate tax rate. He was right, until he
decided to do things the way the Board of
Visitors did at UVa. – in secret and with
only a few people.
Beautiful
Smiles
I also have to take issue with one
letter writer’s characterization of
transportation (JAUNT) and programs for
seniors as make-me-feel-good programs
that are unnecessary. It’s very easy to
sit in our comfortable, air-conditioned
homes and bemoan wasting money
on those without our blessings. I feel
ashamed to be part of a community
that has so little regard for its citizens –
especially those less fortunate.
All the citizens of Fluvanna County
deserve better. Indeed, we must demand
better of our elected representatives.

Letters from page 5
Stirring up the public
I was appalled at Ms. Mozell Booker’s
letter to the editor (July 5). It was so
unprofessional as to be unbelievable. As
a member of the Board of Supervisors,
Ms. Booker’s job is to deal and interface
with her fellow board members. To go
whining to the press is nothing more
than a stunt to stir up public emotions
more than they already are.
Governing Fluvanna County is not
an easy task, considering the current
economic situation (much of which
occurred on Ms. Booker’s watch). The
other board members are doing their
best; they do not have to be vilified,
especially by one of their own.
Ms. Booker seems to believe that
governing Fluvanna County is a one-issue
job. Education is everything, and nothing
else matters. When belt-tightening is
required, it can be anywhere except in
the education area.
Saying that the “high school is a
beacon to bring development to our
community” is just wrong. Young
families will not come to Fluvanna
because of the wonderful high school if
they cannot afford to live here.
Castigating her fellow board members
for not dealing with problems as she
would like is patently unfair. And using
the press to agitate against the board is
reprehensible.
Harold Kelshaw
Lake Monticello
Booker understands
I appreciate Mozell Booker’s tireless
advocacy for adequate school funding. I
appreciate citizens’ efforts (particularly
Focus on Fluvanna’s Future) on behalf of
public education. The recent reduction
of the school budget directly affects
our children, and by extension, our
community.
I am an elementary teacher in
Fluvanna. Last year I had 20 children in
my class. Our classroom had space for
20 individual desks (important because
children feel respected and responsible
given their own personal workspace), we
had room for a reading table (shaped like
a horseshoe), room for a collaborative
workspace (a rectangular table), and
room for the whole class to come
together seated on the floor to share
stories, poems, and more interactive
academic experiences.
This year I’m expecting to begin in
August with about 25 students (a 25%
increase), a number that usually goes
up after Labor Day. Given a different
classroom, and significant budget cuts,
my room now has space for 25 individual
desks and the collaborative table. No
reading table, and so far, not enough
floor space to invite my eight-yearolds to come out from behind the desk,
change their position and perspective,
and share some important social and
academic experiences from a collective
point of view.
Ms. Booker apparently understands
that reducing the school budget
immediately and significantly reduces
the benefits we can offer our students. I
appreciate her support!

Troy resident wins Daughtry tickets
Sarah Drennen of Troy won two tickets to the Daughtry concert scheduled
for Saturday (July 28) at the Pavilion on
the Charlottesville downtown mall.
Drennen was one of 170 people who
entered the Fluvanna Review’s contest. Contestants used the newspaper’s
Facebook page for a chance to win two
reserved tickets. Drennen’s name was
randomly picked in a drawing held
Tuesday (July 17).
The 32-year-old Daughtry, one of
Fluvanna’s most famous sons, skyrocketed to stardom after competing on
American Idol before millions of viewers.
Daughtry graduated from Fluvanna
County High School in 1998. His parents, Pete and Sandra, live in Kents
Store.
With over 1,080 fans, the Fluvanna
Review Facebook page keeps readers
apprised of breaking Fluvanna news.
Yearbooks ready on Tuesday
After nearly a year of planning and
production, the 2012 Fluvanna County
High School yearbook will be delivered
and distributed to 2012 graduates
on Tuesday, July 24, at the new high
school.
“We’re very excited for students to
see the 2012 yearbook,” said Yearbook
Adviser Elizabeth Pellicane. “This year’s
book, which has the theme ‘Locked in
Memories,’ has the most amazing design
elements and the largest number of
photos of any FCHS yearbook ever. Our
Yearbook Team students really outdid
themselves this year,” she said.
The book is also unusual because it
marks the first FCHS yearbook that is
an annual book, covering the entire
2011-2012 school year from the first
day of school through graduation. “For
the first time, we’ve been able to cover
and picture all spring sports, spring
plays, the prom and graduation,”
Pellicane said. “In the past, with spring
delivery yearbooks, we weren’t able to
cover any events after March 1.”
2012 seniors will be able to come in
to the new high school’s front office
on July 24 to pick up books that they
have pre-ordered. Graduates will also
be able to buy a book if they have not
already done so.
“We know that many graduates will
be going off to college soon, so we
wanted to make the books available to
them before they leave,” said Pellicane.
One important thing to note is that
undergraduates will not be able to pick
up books on July 24; only graduates
can pick them up this summer.
“We want to make yearbook
distribution day for underclassmen
a special event, so we will be passing
them out during lunches the second
week of school,” Pellicane said.
Yearbooks now cost $70. The price
will remain the same until all yearbooks
are gone.
For more information on the 2012
FCHS yearbook, email epellicane@
apps.fluco.org, or call FCHS at 434589-3666.

Court Monday of misdemeanor assault
for biting a Western Albemarle High
School player during a game.
Judge Richard E. Moore, after listening to testimony, ruled that he found
no reason not to believe the victim, according The Daily Progress.
He made the ruling although there
was no testimony or evidence that indicated Katrina Ditta, had been the one to
bite Western player Christine Domecq
during a May soccer game, other than
Domecq’s version of events.
Ditta, 18, graduated from Fluvanna
County High School in June. Ditta testified that she did not bite Domecq who
was a former Fluco teammate.
“There was a lot of pushing and shoving, but that’s expected in soccer. It was
nothing out of the ordinary,” Ditta said.
“No, I did not bite her,” she said when
her attorney asked if she bit Domecq,
reporter Bryan McKenzie wrote.
“The court finds that the victim believes, and testified, that she was bitten. The defendant says she didn’t do
it,” Moore told the courtroom packed
with Fluvanna County soccer players
and family members of both women.
“The court must consider whether
the victim made this up; did she lie?
Did she think she was bitten, but mistaken?” Moore said. “I find room to interpret what parents and coaches said
[about the bite marks] as collaborating [Domecq’s] testimony. I’m going to
have to find [Ditta] guilty.”
Ditta was sentenced to 90 days in
jail and the sentence was suspended.
Ditta’s attorneys indicated she would
appeal the decision, according to the
Progress story.
School board discusses health insurance
BY PAGE GIFFORD
CORRESPONDENT
Health care insurance was the main
topic at the school board meeting
Wednesday (July 11).
Finance Director Ed Breslauer, has
solicited a variety of health care insurance providers requesting information
on their health care plans. He and his
staff have narrowed the health insurance providers down to three finalists
out of five after receiving the request
for information. The three are Anthem
Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Coventry
Southern Health and Benefit Planned
Administrators who also have CIGNA
programs.
Board member, Carol Tracey Carr
asked if multiple health insurance plans
could be offered. Breslauer said there
were a variety of options in each plan

and staff could always solicit health
care insurance providers on their own,
requesting information regarding individual plans.
Vice-Chair, William Hughes, asked if
staff were notified about the progress
so far. “It would settle some anxiety,”
he said.
Breslauer said after the health insurance provider was chosen meetings
would be set up with staff. Breslauer
saids he did not have enough information or solid numbers to share with
staff at this time.
Both Chair Camilla Washington and
Breslauer agreed that staff can seek
individual health insurance coverage
on their own. In some cases, Breslauer
said that some individual health plans
might be better than the group rate.

Residents puzzled over drive-in’s failure to open
BY KRISTIN SANCKEN
CORRESPONDENT
The Fork Union Drive-In
Photo by Lisa Hurdle
Last summer, the Fork Union DriveIn had a regular season with double
feature showings of the latest movies
every weekend night. But this year,
both the screen and the public remain
in the dark.
“I really don’t know what’s going
on,” said Mary Cook, who lives across
the street from the drive-in. “When my
grandkids come we go two or three
times a year. I know it would be greatly
missed.”
The 180-car capacity outdoor movie
theater is one of only nine driveins in the state, including the nearby
Goochland Drive-In near Hadensville.
In the heyday of the drive-in theater,
Virginia had 132.
“I hope somebody operates it,
because I think it’s a nice thing – a
good thing for the neighborhood,”
said Tee White, who has lived near the
drive-in for 47 years. Many have voiced
opinions similar to Cook and White’s
online.
People from Chesapeake to Roanoke
have posted concerned messages on
the Fork Union Drive-In’s Facebook
page, wondering when it will open.
There were rumors that it might reopen
for the Fourth of July weekend, but that
did not materialize.
The Fork Union Drive-In was built
by Frayser Francis “F.F.” White in
1953, who operated it until his death
in 2011. White was a go-getter. The
former merchant marine not only
founded the drive-in, but also served as
the postmaster for Bremo Bluff for 20
years, founded Virginia Oil Company in
Charlottesville and served on the Board
of Trustees for Fork Union Military
Academy (among a slew of other
volunteer activities). When White died
at the age of 84 due to complications
during heart surgery, he left the Fork
Union Drive-In to his four children. A
source close to the family said several
offers have been made to buy the
property. White’s daughter, Stephanie
Armistead of Richmond, ran the drivein last summer.
“I think at this point it’s kind of
obvious that it’s not going to open,”
said the source, who asked not to be
named.
The Fluvanna Review tried to contact
the White family for comment, but
didn’t get a response by the time this
article went to press.

Pleasant Grove Community
Gardens feed the hungry
BY RUTHANN CARR
CORRESPONDENT
Even during these scorching hot
summer days you can find dedicated
gardeners working to provide food for
themselves and Fluvanna’s hungry.
The Plant a Row program at the
Pleasant Grove Community Gardens
started in 2009 and continues to
grow like the pole beans and sweet
potatoes planted in its soil. Not only do
individual gardeners plant one row to
donate to the hungry, Fluvanna Master
Gardeners have 11 plots where they
grow vegetables for that purpose. So
far, hundreds of volunteer hours have
produced thousands of pounds of
food donated to the Monticello Area
Community Action Agency (MACAA)
Foodbank at Carysbrook, said Joan
Farren, master gardener.
“I grew up with a garden,” Farren
said. “Something we looked forward
to all winter was eating fresh produce
out of our garden. I wanted to make it
available to people who, for whatever
reason, couldn’t grow their own.”
Extension Agent Faye Anderson
helped start the Community Gardens
in 2008.
“I lived in the country all my life,
but when I got married and moved
to my house, I didn’t have room to
have a garden,” Anderson said. “Just
because you live in the country doesn’t
mean you always have room to plant a
garden.”
As a family nutrition educator,
Anderson also wanted to give the lowincome people she works with access
to garden plots where they could grow
their own fresh vegetables. She admits
that part of the experiment hasn’t been
successful.
“With so many issues my clients face
– some working two jobs, available
transportation, health problems – I
haven’t had much success recruiting
clients to come to the garden,”
Anderson said.
Hall got involved for a multitude of
reasons, she said.
“It’s such a worthwhile cause to
ensure that families get fresh produce
instead of packaged foods,” Hall said.
“They can eat fresh, eat organic and try
things they haven’t tried before.”
The gardeners involved in Plant A
Row try to provide three seasons of
produce, Hall said.
In the spring and fall they grow
lettuce, carrots, beets and Swiss chard.
Summer is potatoes, both sweet and
white, and tomatoes.

Henry are three residents who aren’t
master gardeners who’ve worked
tirelessly to cultivate and harvest fresh
produce to donate, Farren said.
“We have 11 plots this year dedicated
to the program,” Farren said. “We’ve
never had so many plots. We have
sweet potatoes and pole beans this year
that we’ve never had. They’ve done
well in the soil.”
The cost to rent a 10 x 15-foot
community garden plot is $50, with
renewal and early bird discounts
available. All plots are rented for this
year.
The community garden provides full
sun, water and deer fencing.
But perhaps the best thing provided
is a sense of community, Anderson
said.
“People enjoy interacting with their
neighbors – people supporting one
another,” she said. “I was at the garden

Fluvanna artists learn to paint quiet waters
BY PAGE H. GIFFORD
CORRESPONDENT
Troy Weidenheimer, the Fluvanna Art Association’s
workshop guru, was back with part three of his
landscape series, this one on how to paint quiet waters.
As most of the members discovered this was not an
easy task and requires years of practice and skill to
make it look effortless. Weidenheimer warned the
group it would not be easy and they were prepared.
Though many amateur artists choose more often
to paint landscapes, they do so because they believe
it will be easier than painting people or even a still
life. Weidenheimer zeroed in on the complexities of
landscape painting and its consequential pitfalls.
“Begin by figuring out which brush strokes will
accomplish creating the shapes,” he said. Breaking
down several photographs, he discussed the angles,
reflections, and shadows. “Spend time looking at the
shadows, the contrast and details. Slow down, read
what you see and translate it.”
He pointed out that foreground, middle ground and
background are critical in landscape painting otherwise
it falls flat and has no depth. Members soon discovered
that there is science to seeing the relationship between
shapes and distance.
Weidenheimer is a true believer in learning to paint
realistically so that an artist can strengthen their eye
and hand skills, seeing and rendering what actually
exists in reality. To achieve this, he explained that
looking at the construction of water and breaking it
down into basic forms helps to paint it.
“The body or actual color of water, without
reflections, is determined by water chemistry. Color
may range from colorless or clear to green or amber or
brown due to mineral staining algae.” Reflections also
affect color value and knowing that light reflected from
dark objects into water are lighter and lighter objects in
water appear darker. He had many other tips regarding
lights and darks and reflections that amateur artists
tend to overlook because they think they know what
it should look like rather than what really is present in
the natural world.
To capture the variety of values associated with
landscape color, he suggested only using 1-5 on the
value scale instead of the usual 1-10 and pre-mixing
the pigments, particularly if using acrylics.
The ripples in the water seemed daunting to some.
“Look at the shapes, ovals, no sharp edges, they
blend smoothly,” he said. “Water has fewer lights and
darks, it compresses the color values of the overall
picture.”
He also cautioned the members that when painting
a reflection of an object in water, paint the underside
of the object or the mirror image of the object not a
carbon copy of what already is seen.
“There are only a few natural settings in which the
Bob Ross method of simply dragging shoreline colors
downward across a lake will actually resemble what
you see in nature.” He also added, “On real ponds and
streams, and generally in shallow water you are able to
see through the surface to the gravel and rocks below,
as well as seeing a variety of patterns and ripples on
the surface, plus mixed reflections of sky and objects
on shore.” The goal of the workshop was to work on
techniques for painting the actual appearance of ponds
and streams.
The members went away with a new appreciation of
water in the natural world.

Emerald Ash Borer attacking growing number of Virginia’s ash trees
187 Million ash trees in Commonwealth now at risk
The emerald ash borer (EAB) is a nonnative, invasive, wood-boring beetle
from Asia that was first detected in
Detroit in 2002 and has now spread to
15 states, including Virginia. First found
in Fairfax County in 2003, it has been
recently confirmed in the counties
of Pittsylvania, Halifax, Charlotte,
Mecklenburg, Lee, Buchanan, Hanover,
Warren, Caroline, Prince Edward, Giles,
Loudoun and Stafford. Previous finds
include the counties of Arlington,
Prince William and Frederick.
Virginia Department of Forestry
(VDOF) Forest Health Specialist Dr.
Chris Asaro said, “EAB is capable of
killing all 187 million native ash trees
in Virginia, regardless of their initial
health and condition. In addition to the
ecological problems this will cause, it
will have a significant economic impact
on the Commonwealth.”
State Forester of Virginia Carl Garrison
said, “While the ash tree’s most famous
product is baseball bats, it’s also used
for flooring, cabinets, tool handles and
pallets. The ash resource for Virginia is
estimated to have a total value of $170
million, primarily from sawtimber. But
the impacts associated with EAB go way
beyond that. Government at all levels
will face tens of millions of dollars in
expenses for removal of the dead trees,
the planting of replacement trees and
the loss of ecosystem services provided
by urban and suburban ash trees.”
For the last four years, the VDOF
has partnered with several other
Virginia
state
agencies,
private
businesses and the federal government
to slow the spread of the EAB
through a “Don’t Move Firewood”
campaign. Unfortunately – and in
spite of state-mandated quarantines in
several counties – citizens and visitors
to the commonwealth continue to
carry firewood from infested areas to
non-infested areas, thereby delivering
the shiny green and highly destructive
beetles to new stands of ash trees,
which they can kill in just three years.
Asaro said, “We know [that people
are moving EAB through untreated
firewood] because, on average, adult
borers fly no more than a mile or two,
if that, on their own each year.”
While reluctant to make any
predictions, the VDOF entomologist
said, “…based on what little I have
seen so far, it’s easy for me to imagine
emerald ash borer rendering ash trees in
Virginia ecologically and economically
extinct within a few decades from
now.”
Dr. Asaro said, “Depending on several
factors, such as location and size,
removing a dead ash tree in
an urban area could easily
cost a city or town more
than $1,000 per tree.
Multiply that by tens of
thousands of ash trees
and you can easily see
the tremendous financial
impact EAB will have on
Virginia’s local governments.”
EAB is extremely difficult to detect
early due to its cryptic nature — it
spends most of its life cycle as a grub,
or larva, feeding under the bark. Once
discovered, it is often determined to
have been present in an area for many
years. Oftentimes, trees are infested and
re-infested for several years before they
begin to show characteristic symptoms.
Dr. Asaro said, “By the time EAB is
detected, trees are usually dead or
dying, and the insect has already spread
to new locations. … The plain fact
is that we have never before seen an
insect pest like the emerald ash borer;
we have never dealt with a non-native,
invasive wood-boring beetle that feeds
in the cambium and girdles trees with
such speed and efficiency. If we can’t
locate EAB before trees begin dying, it’s
nearly impossible to get ahead of it and
slow it down.”
The release of
insect biological control agents against
EAB is under way. While scientists
won’t know for some time what positive
benefit this will have (if any), they
believe it is worth trying, provided it can
be done safely (without unanticipated,
non-target impacts). Biological control,
unfortunately, has shown more failures
than successes in attempts to deal with
other insect populations.
Garrison said, “Unless individual ash
trees are of great size and of significant
value – for example those found at
Mount Vernon, in the city of Abingdon
or at the University of Virginia, the cost
and practicality of performing chemical
applications on individual trees, let
alone 187 million of them, every two
to three years is prohibitive.” – Virginia

Over $12,000 raised for Alyssa
BY KRISTIN SANCKEN
CORRESPONDENT
Through intermittent storms of rain, lightning and hail
the “Live Alyssa Live!” fundraiser for 10-year-old Fluvanna
cancer-fighter Alyssa Divers soldiered on, ending with an
apt rainbow.
“As soon as I saw it, I was covered in goosebumps,” said
Melissa Kraft of Charlottesville. “A rainbow is a symbol of
hope and it was amazing that the rainbow showed up at
the conclusion of such an awe-inspiring event. I only wish
the Divers’ family could have seen it.”
The event, which took place on Sunday, July 15 at
Pleasant Grove, raised over $12,000 for the Divers family.

Alyssa and her family now have to travel to Houston, Texas
for treatment after the standard protocol for children’s
cancers at the University of Virginia medical center failed.
Alyssa’s favorite color, blue, could be seen on ubiquitous
bracelets, t-shirts, and temporary tattoos all declaring
the mantra “Live Alyssa Live!” which was coined by her
mother, the Rev. Lynn Litchfield Divers in her blog posts
updating friends and family about Alyssa’s cancer.
Alyssa Divers and her family used technology to be
present at the fundraiser held in her honor. Aunt Betsy
Divers held the computer screen up to the crowd cheering
for her. “It was the absolute best moment of the evening,”
said Courtney Lambert of Charlottesville.

FAST swimmers defeat friendly Frogs
CONTRIBUTED BY DIANA BOWEN
When FAST swimmers travel to
compete against the Farmington
Frogs, thoughts of touch pads, ice
cream sandwiches, and good sportsmanship come to mind.
The Frogs know how to get in the
spirit by turning the pool green before
each meet as a longtime Farmington
tradition. They make every swimmer
feel welcome with a handshake after
a close race and a treat on your way
out. With spirits high, the Makos saw
many large time drops throughout
the night and improved to 3 – 1 on
the season with a 589 – 500 win over
Farmington.
This keeps Fluvanna Aquatics
Sports Team in a close race for the
regular-season division I title. This
Wednesday (July 18), they will face
the Fairview Seahorses (3 – 1) to decide the title as well as a score for the
coveted sportsmanship award. FAST
last won the sportsmanship award
in 2008 as a division III member and
has yet to win a sportsmanship award
or division team award in division
I. Swimmers, coaches, and parents
all hope to bring the sportsmanship
award back to FAST and back to Fluvanna County.
Individually, the Makos saw significant personal growth as many swimmers continued to improve. eightyear-old Ahmad Woodson dropped
12.8 seconds in his 25 freestyle
his teammates Nate Klipp, William
Dudzik, and Paul Cumiskey also im-
proved. On the girl’s side, Alexa John
Hudock, Rachel Scopelliti, Gwunyth
Hansen, Ashlyn Saylor, and Abigail
Kimble all improved. Kimble and
Saylor combined for a total drop of
more than 17 seconds. Rhett Jones
achieved his gold time for the season in the 50 meter freestyle with a
time of 37.86 and a first place finish
for the Makos, he also dropped three
seconds in the 50 meter backstroke to
achieve his second gold time standard
of the night. Teammates Emma DiFazio and Abby Harlow joined Jones
by also achieving a gold standard in
the 50 meter freestyle. DiFazio continued her evening with another gold
time swim in the 50 meter butterfly.
Ana Kuzemka also achieved her gold
time standard in the 50 meter butter-
fly by dropping almost two seconds.
The younger swimmers were not the
only ones to achieve new gold time
standards: assistant coach Ben Nalle
earned also earned a gold time in the
50 meter butterfly. One of our younger makos made a big splash in the
six and under 25 meter backstroke:
Marena Raines, in her second meet
of the season, dropped more than 15
seconds to finish second and earn her
first gold time standard. During the
last set of events, the long freestyle,
FAST swimmer Abigail Brown earned
one last gold time standard. Next
week, look for a list of all of our gold
time standards as FAST wraps up the
regular season and prepares for the
JSL championships at Fork Union on
July 27 and 28.
Girls’ softball win three trophies
On Monday (July 2) the Fluvanna
Girls’ Softball League (FGSL) won three
Dixie Girls’ Softball District Tournament
trophies.
The Darlings (5-8 years old) won
second place, the Angels (9-10) won
second and the Belles (13-15) won the
district championship.
After a great contest in the final
game, the Darlings lost to Powhatan
by only one while the Angels also lost
to the undefeated Amelia by one in
extra innings. Finally, the Belles beat
Goochland to win the championship
title in one of its four wins by slaughter
rule. On July 20, the Belles will compete
in the Dixie State Tournament and, if
they are successful, will progress to
the World Series, which will be held in
Powhatan on August 3.
In only four years, FGSL has had
seven district championship teams.
Tournament (All-Star) teams are made
up of players from FGSL’s regular
season teams. In the 2012 season, the
league had the greatest number of
teams and players in its 16 year history.
Most players on Fluvanna’s travel
teams and school teams today started
with, and many still play, for FGSL.
FGSL’s philosophy is that they are in
the people business: family fun and
learning great values. With more than
one hundred families participating
each year, many girls growing into
higher levels of softball and so many
championship teams, this philosophy
must be working.
To top it all off, two days after
winning the championship, FGSL also
won the first place trophy for best float
in the Scottsville Fourth of July parade.
The Darlings won second place.
The Belles won the district championship.
The Angels won second place.

The Rose Deborah Altschull
Endowment For Youth has
launched it’s fifth annual “Bright
Start for Kids” program and wants
your help. The program provides
back-to-school necessities for
less-fortunate second graders in
Fluvanna County.
The endowment was started
on April 2, 2008 and has shown
a steady growth pattern from
day one. By the end of June
2012 we had received donations
amounting to more than $60,000
from more than 275 different
donors. This has always been a
“working endowment,” meaning
that we have sponsored projects
beginning in the first year of the
endowment’s inception through
today, more than exceeding the
federal requirement of a 5 percent
distribution of assets each year for
a 501(c)(3) charity.
With school beginning on
August 13, the Endowment Board
is working in close coordination
with the Fluvanna County School
Administration to ensure that
“Bright Start for Kids” backpacks
are ready for distribution the first
day of school. This year we will be
supplying 60 backpacks stuffed
with all of the required school
supplies.
Anyone that would like to
sponsor a child heading back
to school is invited to make a
contribution. The cost to sponsor
a child is $50, and of course
no donation is too big or too
small. The endowment is a part
of and managed by the Rotary
Foundation of Fluvanna County.
Therefore contributions should be
written to “The Rotary Foundation
of Fluvanna County Virginia” with
a note in the memo section of
the check to direct the donation
to “The Rose Deborah Altschull
Endowment For Youth.”
Mailing Address: Rotary Club Of
Fluvanna County, c/o Jerry Steffel,
4 Lakeview Circle, Palmyra, Va.
22963. All donations are 100
percent tax deductible.

Palmyra United Methodist Church lives green
CONTRIBUTED BY CINDY BROWN
“Going green.” Adults are encouraged
to do it, kids are taught to do it,
and many companies expect their
employees to do it, but what exactly
does “it” mean? Although there are a
variety of meanings to “going green,”
Palmyra United Methodist Church
(PUMC) has decided to “live it,” basing
their actions on the belief that God gave
us a beautiful world and asked in return
that we be good stewards and care for
our surroundings. Whether that means
turning the thermostat down and the
lights off before leaving the building
or making photo copies on both sides
of a sheet of paper, PUMC is paying
attention. “Green tips” are even in the
weekly bulletin, and green reminder
signs/posters are posted around the
church.
The ideas for “going green” are
endless, and with a little thought
Recycling sneakers
and effort, we can all make
a difference. Whether you
participate in an existing
program or create one of your
own, together we can build a
healthier and more plentiful
future.
How can you become involved?
Here are some other PUMCinspired
“green
programs”
already in place or planned for
the future.
• Saving pop tabs for the Ronald
McDonald House. The Ronald
McDonald House, close to UVA
Hospital, serves out-of-town
and out-of-state families who
have a child in the hospital. To
assist parents in need, the
Ronald McDonald House can
turn pop tabs into cash —
1,000 tabs equals one pound
of metal, and thus far PUMC
has given 64,500 tabs. One
parishioner
collected cans from
his workplace, and
in one year raised
$236 for the Ronald
McDonald
House.
When the PUMC
congregation joined
in, $110 was raised
in three months. Another
member, a teacher at
Fork
Union
Military
Academy (FUMA), asked
the academy to help and
14,000 additional tabs
went to Ronald McDonald
House. Saving tabs is easy
to do and reminds people
to think about helping
others.
• Collecting
old
sneakers, no matter the
condition, that can be
made into play surfaces
(like running tracks, tennis
courts or playgrounds)
through the Nike Reusea-Shoe project. Although
PUMC is too far from

a collection outlet to make a
regular donation, members of the
congregation collect and deliver
shoes when a member is planning to
pass by an outlet.
• Create a ‘recycling guide’ for Fluvanna
residents, listing recycle sites in both
Fluvanna and Charlottesville.
• Knitting and crocheting tote bags
and mats for the homeless from
plastic grocery bags would be a great
project. Directions can be found on
line.
• Giving alternative gifts. A variety
of ways to honor friends/family
members was offered on a Sunday
before Christmas. Instead of mailing
Christmas cards, they were posted
in the narthex of the church and the
“stamp” money was donated to a
worthy cause.
• The ideas for “going green” are
endless. With a little thought and
effort, we can all make a difference.
Being good stewards of the beautiful
world God gave us — that is it in a
nutshell.
There are a number of local,
national and international mission
organizations that can use your time. In
addition, there is a list available that
gives simple ways to make a gift of your
time to others. For more green tips, just
Google “green tips” and a wealth of
information will appear.

Methodist Church check out our

Dog and owner reunited after seven-month recess
BY MANDY KLINE
CORRESPONDENT
Zoë Worrell was reunited with her dog
Zahra on Monday (July 9) after seven
months of separation. Fluvanna County’s
SPCA had been sheltering Zahra under
the special care of Erika Proctor, animal
behavior specialist.
Zahra, a seven-year-old pitbull/
American bulldog mix, was known as
‘Atlanta’ around the FSPCA, the name
she was given by the shelter manager
when she was taken in as a stray. “At

some shelters dogs get numbers, but
here everyone gets names,” said Proctor.
“They’re not just a statistic; we care about
every one of them.”
Zahra was found wandering around
Troy, about 24 miles from where she
initially went missing around the Fry
Springs area in Charlottesville. “This dog
is amazingly built,” said Worrell when
explaining how it might’ve been possible
for Zahra to travel such a long way. “She
is a very adventurous dog.”
In fact, Worrell added, when she
adopted Zahra from a shelter in New
Mexico, she found out that the dog had
been brought in after wandering around
in the desert — pregnant.
Zahra escaped her home in the Fry
Springs area after breaking four windows
and three doors, according to Worrell.
Zahra suffers from severe confinement
issues, which tend to only be remedied
by the company of other creatures
surrounding her, according to Worrell.
“She gets freaked out when there isn’t
another living thing for her to take care
of around her,” said Worrell.
When Zahra’s confinement issues
overwhelm her, she tends to try to escape
her current environment, sometimes
resulting in broken windows and doors.
This was the case with Zahra’s first
foster family after arriving at the FSPCA,
according to Proctor.
Proctor recounted that Zahra broke
a window belonging to the family,
prompted by her being left home alone
just days after adoption. Shortly after the
incident, she was returned to the FSPCA.
Zahra was adopted a second time, then
once again returned.
During a tracking chip installation, the
veterinarian that Zahra’s second adopted
family took her to, found that there was
already a tracking chip implanted in
Zahra.
The chip had failed to bond correctly
with Zahra’s muscle tissue, and therefore
traveled down her shoulder and into her
arm, according to Proctor.
Proctor made it clear that all strays
are scanned as soon as they come in. In
Zahra’s case, the scanner did not detect
a chip because it was not in the correct
location. Once the chip was discovered,
Proctor was able to gather Worrell’s

Local Boy Scouts trek through the New Mexico wilderness
CONTRIBUTED BY RANDY SEELYE
A crew of local teenage scouts and their leaders
went on a life changing summer trek through the
Sangre de Cristo Mountains at Philmont Scout
Ranch in Cimarron New Mexico. Philmont covers
214 square miles of vast wilderness with trails
that start at 6,500 feet to as high as 12,441. The
Scouts from local Fluvanna Troop 138 and Troop
154 hiked for 61 miles over 10 days. They are
pictured above at the top of Mt. Phillips at 11,770
feet.
The Scouts and their advisors carried
everything they needed to survive during the trek
on their backs while hiking from camp to camp.
The loads exceeded 60 pounds at times. They
participated in backcountry programs along the
way that included rock climbing, rappelling, fly
fishing, and black powder shooting. The trek also
included a conservation project where the Scouts
learned to build new trails while maintaining the
balance of the Philmont ecosystem. Along the
trek, Scouts endured tough challenges including
backpacking in bear and mountain lion territory,
steep climbs, and inclement weather.
The crew made what amounts to a Scouting
pilgrimage with their trip to Philmont. Philmont
Scout Ranch in the Boy Scouts of America
Premier High Adventure Camp and is
the largest youth camp in the world
serving nearly one million participants
since 1938.
Our local leaders, parents, and
Scouts want to congratulate these
scouts on accomplishing a great
adventure.
