Mayor John Hammond and the town council are seeking to dissolve the town. If they succeed, Columbia will be absorbed back into the county as a community like any other in Fluvanna. In order to dissolve, or disincorporate, the town, a majority of Columbia’s 38 registered voters must approve a referendum that the town leadership is attempting to place on the ballot this November. “Given our small population and limited resources we no longer believe that it makes sense to be an incorporated town,” Hammond wrote in an email to the Fluvanna Review. “We don’t have the ability to provide municipal services and rely heavily on the county for assistance. We’re facing a small [and] dwindling tax base, a limited budget and a lack of human resources to fill necessary roles typically needed for town government.” Jessica Phillips, attorney on behalf of Columbia, outlined the steps involved in this process to the Board of Supervisors at its meeting on Wednesday (May 21). First the town and county will need to enter into a formal agreement that provides for the transfer of all of Columbia’s revenues, assets and debts to Fluvanna County. Then the town council will petition the Fluvanna County Circuit Court Correction: The Rev. Price Davis (shown with Mozell Booker) earned a Doctor of Ministry degree from the Samuel Dewitt Proctor School of Theology at Virginia Union University. A photo caption in the May 22 issue incorrectly stated the degree he received. for an order requiring a referendum to be put on the ballot in order to allow voters to decide whether to nullify the town’s charter. No quorum of voters is needed – if a simple majority vote passes the referendum, then a judge will certify the results and notify a secretary of the commonwealth. Phillips anticipates Jan. 1, 2015 as the effective date of the disincorporation, if it occurs. Hammond believes that the town will in fact dissolve. “I’m confident that we have the support of the community and I anticipate the vote to pass in November,” he wrote. Columbia has few assets and no debts. It owns a town hall building currently assessed at around $25,000 that it may transfer to the Catholic Diocese of Richmond. Other than that there are two bank accounts worth about $67,000. Of that money, $10,000 is set aside for participation in an approved Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) grant to remove unoccupied blighted buildings in the 100-year flood plain. The state of Virginia may also direct the town to contribute $10,000 to the Fluvanna Volunteer Fire Department. Then the rest of the money would cover legal and other expenses involved in the disincorporation. Since Aqua Virginia provides water to the town, the county would not need to assume any water responsibilities for Columbia. It would, however, need to take on the operation of the town’s streetlights at an annual cost of about $26,000. Disincorporating Fluvanna’s only town would be a significant event for the county. “This is an important and historic decision for the town of Columbia,” wrote Hammond, “however, it is a decision that we have discussed with the town council, Fluvanna County officials, residents of the town, and local leaders for a number of years.” Town councilor Kerry Murphy-Hammond added, “It was not done lightly, but we feel this is the best way to protect the town at this point.” Questions about Selling Your House?

SUPERMARKET 13027 James Madison Hwy. in Palmyra at Rt. 15 & Rt. 53 434-589-8412 • Open Mon. - Sat. 6:30 am - 7 pm BY CHRISTINA DIMEO GUSEMAN, CORRESPONDENT When last November’s payment of $25,000 to the James River Water Authority (JRWA) was followed Wednesday (May 21) by a request for an unbudgeted $150,000, two supervisors weren’t happy. Given the looming state budget crisis, “I just don’t think that it’s sensible or fiscally responsible to be expending money now that is not needed till September or at some later date,” Supervisor Bob Ullenbruch said. And Supervisor Don Weaver took issue with pulling the money from the dwindling uncommitted fund balance, which has recently provided for a $285,000 overage on the Pleasant Grove house project and will soon cover a projected $234,000 shortfall for CSA (services for at-risk youth and families) and a possible $413,000 average daily membership shortfall for the school system. Referring to the actual or anticipated fund balance debits, County Administrator Steve Nichols said, “If you don’t want to see any of these reds on here, Mr. Weaver, then make a higher budget to begin with.” The $150,000 in question, joined by matching funds appropriated by the Louisa County Board of Supervisors, will go toward expenses associated with the permit process and relocation of the water intake from Bremo Bluff to Columbia. The capital improvements plan contains plans to borrow $2.75 million for JRWA system construction, but Nichols noted that there currently exists no source of funding for the JRWA because neither Fluvanna nor Louisa County has borrowed any money yet. Supervisor Tony O’Brien spoke in favor of allocating the money. “The worst thing we could do right now as we’re trying to establish a partnership [with Louisa] is to send a message that we’re concerned about a $150,000 bill… I wouldn’t want to partner with me if I was concerned every time something came up if these guys were going to show up at the table or not.” “I’m very much disturbed by some of the thinking that’s gone into this,” Weaver said. “It looks to me like we’re starting to get out of control, and I’m not going to be a part of that… But it’s still my responsibility to pay the debts of this county, so I will support it.” Ultimately the motion passed unanimously. As Emergency Services Coordinator Cheryl Wilkins stepped to the microphone, she delivered the news that many residents of Fluvanna had just felt the To advertise call: 434.207.0222 tremors associated with 3.2-magnitude earthquake 13 kilometers southwest of Powhatan. Supervisors got a glimpse of emergency management in action as Wilkins paused her presentation to take a call updating her on the situation. Now that the Fluvanna County Rescue Squad has daytime staffing help out of the University of Virginia, Wilkins said, it is responding about equally with the Lake Monticello Volunteer Rescue Squad, and response times are on their way down. Radio coverage is still an issue in the county. According to Wilkins, portable radios and handhelds only have 50 percent coverage; the goal is 95 percent coverage, 95 percent of the time. Plans are in place to implement a digital system that would make use of existing towers as well as new ones. “In 18 months we should have our new system up and running,” Wilkins said. Wilkins has also created a work group to analyze the issue of revenue recovery, which has recently become a hot topic in Fluvanna. Her goal is to examine the programs implemented in surrounding and similarly-sized counties so as to benefit from any lessons learned, then outline a possible program and implementation plan for Fluvanna. “If you don’t want to see any of these reds on here, Mr. Weaver, then make a higher budget to begin with.” –Steve Nichols In other matters: • Planner Jay Lindsey presented an overview on architectural review boards, which regulate and administer architectural guidelines and design standards on development. County Attorney Fred Payne spoke out against the creation of such a board in Fluvanna. When asked for his opinion, Lindsey stated that “economic development is one of our big priorities, and this would be putting a much lower priority in its way.” • Lindsey also spoke about possible regulations on dogs in residential zoning districts. Before taking any action, however, supervisors requested from the sheriff a report on how many noise complaints the office has received regarding houses with four or more dogs. • Supervisors agreed to reestablish a county finance board responsible for directing the county’s investments. This way, cash reserves can be put to use to earn investment income for the county. • Supervisors presented former sheriff Ryant Washington with a shadowbox in honor of his many years of service to the county. “We appreciate everything you’ve done for us,” Chairperson Mozell Booker told Washington. $ 5.00 Wonderoast EVERY Tuesday.

In the next three years, the term of this election’s candidates, the Board of Directors will take action on the recent architectural review that showed that the clubhouse and pro shop have building code deficiencies with regard to ADA and fire safety standards. The architect stated that all of the buildings are in need of some degree of improvement or replacement. What does this mean to you, the homeowner? The Board of Directors can decide whether to substantially remodel the clubhhouse and golf facility or build new. How will these actions be funded? The candidates you vote for will decide. The board can ask homeowners whether to increase dues, levy a one-time assessment, or deplete the ERA reserves. Please educate yourself and vote responsibly. Review the architect’s report online at LMOAVoice. Attend the Candidate Forum May 31 at 10:30 a.m. at the clubhouse. Study the voting packet. Above all, be sure to send in your vote. This year it is critically important. – Kathryn Renick, Lake Monticello Mark Belew announced today (May 27) that he will be running for the office of sheriff of Fluvanna County. An Albemarle County detective with over 15 years of law enforcement experience, Belew is assigned to the Southern Virginia Internet Crimes against Children Task Force, investigating crimes involving the sexual exploitation of minors, and is also a special deputy with the United States Marshals. The special election is taking place November 4 because former Sheriff Ryant Washington resigned the post in order to become the special policy advisor for law enforcement for the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control. The office of interim sheriff is currently held by Eric Hess, who will also be running for sheriff in November. Belew, aged 35, is a life-long Fluvanna resident and lives at Lake Monticello with his wife and two young children. Among the initiatives Belew proposes are to “obtain state accreditation insuring law enforcement services in Fluvanna County are best practices in the industry,” and getting proper services to victims of child abuse. He also promised to aggressively pursue grant funding to pay for these initiatives. Mark Belew will be running for sheriff of Fluvanna County. Photo by Tricia Johnson Belew said he has 200 signatures on a petition which he will be filing with the Fluvanna County Registrar’s Office this week to have his name placed on the ballot.

In-house lab blood results while you wait BY CHRISTINA DIMEO GUSEMAN, CORRESPONDENT (540) 832 - 1751 www.xroadsanimalhospital.com Jim Haden, president of Martha Jefferson Hospital, PVCC President Frank Friedman and R. Edward Howell, vice president and chief executive officer of the University of Virginia Medical Center, sign an agreement that partners the three entities to offer two new fasttrack certificates at PVCC. Photo courtesy of Piedmont Virginia Community College Piedmont Virginia Community College (PVCC) signed an agreement Friday (May 23) to create two new health care programs for students in Fluvanna and surrounding areas. Offered in partnership with the University of Virginia Health System and Martha Jefferson Hospital, these two fast-track programs will prepare students to become pharmacy technicians or central sterile processing technicians. “U.Va. and Martha Jefferson came to us and said they were having trouble hiring people with these skills,” said Dr. Frank Friedman, president of PVCC, on Wednesday (May 21) at a breakfast meeting with Fluvanna County leaders held at the Lake Monticello clubhouse. “U.Va. is going to open a whole new pharmacy wing in the new building they’re constructing, and they are going to need pharmacy techs. So they came to PVCC and asked if they could start a program.” Friedman emphasized the opportunity these new programs will present to students from Fluvanna and the surrounding areas. “The hospitals are [partnering with PVCC] because it’s a good investment for them. They’re going to hire our grads. And these kids are going to stay in those jobs.” Under the agreement, according to a press release, “Martha Jefferson and U.Va. will provide clinical experiences for the To advertise call: 434.207.0222 students and pay the salaries and benefits for two new credentialed PVCC faculty to teach the programs. PVCC will employ the faculty, develop the program curriculum in collaboration with both hospitals and provide program oversight.” According to the press release, the pharmacy tech program will teach students how to “assemble and supply medicines in hospital or retail pharmacies” under the supervision of a pharmacist, and may begin in January. The processing tech program will teach students how to “sterilize, package and prepare instruments used in surgical procedures” and may begin next summer. “The hospitals express a need for skilled, qualified employees, and PVCC as the region’s community college is uniquely able to respond by providing the training programs,” Friedman said. “The outcome is a win-win for all involved because hundreds of individuals in central Virginia obtain jobs in the health-care sector, citizens receive the quality care they need and the hospitals have the highly skilled employees necessary to deliver those services.” Over 600 students from Fluvanna enrolled in PVCC last fall, Friedman said. And this year more PVCC students from Fluvanna County graduated than from any other county except Albemarle.

Within that first hour it raised about 3 feet,” she said. “It was just that fast.” Ackenbom is the equestrian director at Camp Friendship, a residential summer camp for boys and girls ages 6 to 16, located in Palmyra. The camp, which offers horseback riding as one of its activities, has about 80 horses in the program, many of which were turned out to graze in a low-lying pasture on the banks of the Rivanna River that night. Ackenbom and the barn manager worked to try to move nine stranded horses to safety themselves, but realized that they were not going to be able to do it alone. “It became a matter of time, how much more time we actually had to get the horses to safety.” Calling for help was not an easy decision for Ackenbom to make. “We would not have started moving them if we didn’t have to - that was the absolute last resort. The decision to actually swim them – through 8 feet of rapidly moving water… we didn’t make that decision until we got word that the water was still rising and was expected to go up another two to three feet by 8 p.m. Then we would have been dealing with three more feet of water – and it would be dark,” she explained. She made the telephone call, and Fluvanna’s fire and rescue stations responded quickly. “They were here within 10 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | May 29, 2014 twenty minutes,” said Ackenbom. “It is important to me that people in this community know how quickly they got here and how good they were.” Jamie Beadle, a swift water rescue technician with Lake Monticello Rescue, said that “Every fire and rescue organization in Fluvanna County was involved” in the rescue of Camp Friendship’s horses. Beadle said the rapidly rising waters caught many people off guard. When Beadle and the other rescuers arrived at Camp Friendship, they found that the situation was urgent. “When we got there, the water was up to the bellies of the smaller horses,” said Beadle. “The barbed wire fences surrounding the pasture were completely underwater. The horses would likely have gotten caught up in that submerged fencing if they had tried to swim to safety themselves.” The swift water rescue teams used a boat and a kayak to rescue the horses. The kayak was used as a floating barrier to help direct the horses to the submerged gate – the only break in the fence through which the horses could safely pass. The boat was used to ferry the horses across the flooded pasture to the gate; each horse swam the distance behind the boat; a Camp Friendship staff member in the boat held onto a lead rope attached to the horse’s halter, and did all they could to keep the animal calm. . This is not the only time that the swift water rescue team has had to work to save animals. “It is something that we have some experience with in the past. People may ask ‘why would we risk the lives of the rescuers to retrieve an animal,’ and one of the main reasons that we do it is because many times untrained citizens feel compelled to put themselves into harm’s way to try to rescue an animal. We would rather use our equipment and skills, if there is an adequate safety margin, and attempt that rescue (Top) Rescued horses Kayak (left) and Tugboat (right) are happy to be back on dry land.

As frightening as the situation was Ackenbom believed the lives of the to Ackenbom, there was a moment of horses were at risk. “I think there is abhumor.

Effort Baptist Church VBS June 16-20th • 9 am-12pm Cost $10 irt* includes t-sh Obituary John (Jack) Charney John (Jack) Charney passed away peacefully on May 6, 2014 with his wife, Sue Charney, at his side. He is also survived by parents, John and Anna Charney, and sister, Angela (Ronald), all of Bluffton, SC; nephew and niece, Mathew Andrews and Melissa Stump; and godsons Samuel and Oliver Michelsen, currently in Japan. Jack was raised in New Jersey graduating from Colonia High School in 1976. He joined the U.S. Army and proudly served for six years. He worked 10 years at the DMV New Jersey and then moved to California because he wanted to learn to surf. Although he didn’t learn to surf, he did meet Sue. They married in 1997. Wanting to live closer to his family, Jack and Sue headed east on December 31, 2001 and settled in Palmyra, Virginia. Jack supported Sue’s dream of owning a business and Red Rocker Candy, LLC was started in their basement on April 1, 2002. Occasionally, Jack could be found helping customers in the Factory Store in Troy. Jack loved to talk to the customers. Jack was diagnosed with Leukemia in 2009 and again beginning in March 2013. He was a fighter and amazed doctors with his strength and tenacity. Customers missed Jack’s smiling face and enthusiasm and when they learned why they hadn’t seen him around, the outpouring of well wishes and requests for updates about “such a nice man” were tremendous. At the news of Jack’s passing, one customer and car show supporter aptly summed up Jack: “He had a heart of gold!” This fall, Red Rocker Candy’s 4th annual car cruise-in, which was Jack’s pride and joy, is being renamed the “Red Rocker Candy Jack Charney Memorial Cruise-In.” He would have loved that. On October 18, 2014, this event will include a celebration of Jack’s life.

Over 250 graduates arrived at 8 a.m., giddy and excited while they waited for the start of commencement exercises at 10 a.m. Graduates passed under three decorated flag poles as they posed for pictures before starting the processional march to the field to take their seats. Christopher Williams, age 18, was the last student to pass under the Fluco flag. He flashed a double victory sign and said, “we made it, class of 2014.” Principal James Barlow addressed the crowd and quoted the children’s gospel song “This Little Light of Mine.” Superintendent Gena Keller had interviewed first graders to give words of wisdom to the graduating class of 2014. Their advice? “No yelling, pack your own lunch just in case your mother doesn’t pack something you like,” and “you can trade with Robert Adams Jr., another student for something better.” and Superintendent’s awards were given to teacher James his grandmother Small, student Charles Thomas Parrish, and Michael Elizabeth Adams. Sheridan. The graduates had voted for these awards and Sheridan said, “this one really means a lot to me.” Bryce Campanelli, the Valedictorian, told classmates that “there is one thing very unique we all share here today, a bond that can only be found in this small rural county in the middle of Virginia. That bond is that we are all Flucos – a word that confuses many, even us sometimes… Our mascot the flying F, while it may seems lame and unthreatening, is the only one in the country. This bond as Flucos is something that can never be taken away from us. No matter how hard you may try you cannot change the fact that this is OUR high school.” Salutatorian Mary McGehee, told her fellow students that “We are so lucky to be surrounded by people who give us a daily reminder that our community supports us. People like Mrs. Sheridan, Mrs. Brent, Ms. Stewart, and Mrs. Palmer, my neighbors and elementary school teachers who taught both Graduate Bryce and me how to read. Brandan Shelton “Or Ms. Carter and Ms. Key, who worked in the office at Columbia and Central, and would help us call our parents when we were sick or forgot our lunch, or in my case, when they occasionally forgot to pick me up after school. “Or Ms. Brogan, Mr. Pace, and Mr. Kozcan and the dozens of other teachers, coaches and fellow Fluco alums who came back to teach and coach us into championship games and races that broke their own school records. “These community members have inspired us to accomplish incredible things as a class. Whether that be vaulting and diving to nationals, becoming a Certified Nursing Assistant, leading us through student government, or serving the community as a volunteer on the rescue squad, fire department or as a member of Beta Club, Key Club, Interact Club or any of the other student organizations that have shown some of us a passion to pursue.” | FLUVANNA REVIEW | May 29, 2014 Bryce Campanelli class Valedictorian.

Photo by Duncan Nixon In its final regular season game of the season on Thursday, May 22, the Flying Fluco baseball team fell behind Western Albemarle by a seemingly insurmountable score of 10-1 after four and one half innings. The Flucos only score in the first four innings came in the second when catcher Austin Foster was hit on the head by a pitch, shortstop Cody Gibson singled, designated hitter Bowen Reed was hit by a pitch, and leftfielder Robbie Via brought in a run with a sacrifice fly. After four and a half, all the Warriors had to do was hold the Flucos and post another run and they would win on the run rule. However, the Flucos rallied to post five runs in the bottom of the fifth to get the score back to a more manageable 10-6. All five of the runs were scored after two were out. Centerfielder Dylon Garrett started the inning with a single, but he was forced out at second, and a fly out made it, one on and two out. Catcher Stuart Wiley walked and shortstop Cody Gibson singled to load the bases. Designated hitter Bowen Reed then ripped a double down the left field line that drove in all three base runners. After Reed’s clutch hit, Ben Sheridan worked a walk, as did Beau Carter. Tre Bright followed with a solid single to score two more runs. Unfortunately for the Flucos, that was the end of their scoring for the night. The Warriors added three in the top of the seventh inning, and the final score was 13-6. Defensively, the Flucos got several good catches from Garrett in center field, but the team was undone by walks and some infield errors. After the game, Coach Mike Sheridan noted that although the team did not do quite as well has he had hoped would be To advertise call: 434.207.0222 the case, his squad was still in a position to compete for the Regionals, as all that it needed was two wins in the Conference tournament to make the Regionals. The first Conference tournament game was scheduled for Memorial Day afternoon against Handley high School. It was also senior night for the Flying Flucos baseball team. Sheridan was effusive about the “fine young men” who played their final regular season home game for the Flucos. Pitcher and third baseman, Maxx Turner was described by Sheridan as a player who “does everything he possibly can for the team.” What he does is very good, as he hit around .470 this season. Sheridan also highly praised Dylon Garrett, who played third base and centerfield on Thursday. Garrett was a three sport standout for the Flucos, as he played varsity golf and baseball, and was outstanding in the pole vault. He is going on to Martha Washington University next year where he will compete in the pole vault on the track and field team. It was announced at senior night that Garrett is this year’s male recipient of the Allison Lorraine Buck scholarship, which is a new honor at FCHS that is award to an outstanding student/athlete who is going on to pursue a college degree. Sheridan was also enthused about senior first baseman Ryan McLaughlin who he calls “the Ambassador” for the way he consults with his teammates around the infield, and keeps them focused during games. Finally, Sheridan praised senior infielder Derek Warner for giving it his all every night even though an injury restricted his playing time this season. McLaughlin will attend Lynchburg College in the fall, while Warner is contemplating a career in the Air Force.

That’s the theory of Fluvanna Master Gardeners and that’s why the group is sponsoring a free workshop on Therapeutic Gardening from 1 to 2:30 p.m. June 7 at the Lake Monticello Clubhouse. Teaching the 90 minute session is Phyllis Turner, PhD, the woman who wrote the book herself, so to speak, on Therapeutic Gardening. Turner is the author of the Virginia Extension publication on the subject. One reason the group wanted to offer the workshop is because gardening can become more challenging the older we get, said Kathy Seroskie, president of Fluvanna Master Gardeners. “I think there’s a lot of us as we age who need to find new ways to garden – to find more user-friendly ways to garden,” Seroskie said. “We don’t want to stop gardening, we just want to find ways that are easier on our bones.” Turner will talk about how to adapt: • the garden – by building raised beds, containers and wider paths • the gardener - exercising to tone and using the right tools • the plant materials - selecting plants that reduce the work of gardening Turner’s publication boasts that gar- • Lowest Advertising Rates in Central Virginia • Delivered to over 3,300 Lake Monticello Homes • Available at Over 250 Locations in 5 Counties • All Issues Available on our Website • Affordable Preprinted Insert Rates • Website Banner Ads • Non-Profit Rates • Local and Statewide Classifieds • Over 20,000 readers weekly in print and online ORANGE Total Monthly Circulation 45,000 *All 5 Papers Combined ALBEMARLE Town of Scottsville LOUISA FLUVANNA BUCKINGHAM Fluvanna Review Place an ad in ALL 5 papers and receive 20% off Place an ad in more than 1 paper and receive 10% off. www.fluvannareview.com Email: [email protected] • 434.207.0222 • Fax: 434.589.1704 Mailing: P.O.

With a little creativity, gardening can be an accessible activity and can have therapeutic value. As a therapy, gardening is unique in that a living medium, plants, are used. This allows the gardener to be anchored in reality. When gardeners realize that they have an effect on something else that is living there are often positive changes in their behavior and feelings.” Turner contends that gardening benefits are wide-ranging and universal. “Everyone can get rewards from gardening whether these are physical, emotional, spiritual or mental well-being,” she states. “While we tend to think of gardening as being good exercise, we often don’t realize that it can help improve communication and social skills; confidence and self-esteem; feelings of well-being; nutrition, knowledge and enjoyment.” Turner’s publication provides illustrations of exercises gardeners of all ages can use to tone and strengthen their muscles to prepare them for the work of gardening and prevent injuries. Turner will surely demonstrate some of those. Tips for adapting tools by improving the grip and making them easier to see in the garden will also be discussed. Turner states Therapeutic Gardening is nothing new. Dr. Benjamin Rush, a pioneer psychiatrist in the early 1800s talked about the therapeutic effects of working in the garden. And after World Wars I and II, therapists at veterans hospitals used gardening to treat and re-educate disabled soldiers. Fluvanna Master Gardener Jan Hall said the workshop will benefit not just the older gardener. “It’s important for the public to know that Therapeutic Gardening isn’t just raised beds and the elderly,” Hall said. “It’s more than that. It’s physical and emotional. It’s for children – like with our special needs children’s garden where they learn discipline, where food comes from and patience. If you can make gardening accessible to all kinds of people it enriches their lives. Therapeutic Gardening allows more people to garden.” To advertise email: [email protected] Fluvanna Fluvanna Crime Log County to test emergency system Fluvanna County began testing the community-wide CodeRED Emergency Notification System on Tuesday, May 27, according to a county press release. In an emergency this system gives important life safety information through phone calls, texts and emails. The calls will begin Tuesday midmorning and will continue until the entire database has been attempted. This call will give Fluvanna personnel the chance to operate the system as if there had been a community-wide disaster. This system automatically picks up landlines but other contact numbers (phone numbers or email addresses) must be manually entered into the database, according to the release. The test call message directs recipients to the Fluvanna County website to add additional contact numbers, and it also asks that recipients spread the word by mentioning the system to family, friends and neighbors.
