I would just like to thank the
passerby who went the extra mile by
turning my tennis racquet into the
Fluvanna County High School office.
I thought I had left it in the car, only
to get called down to the office
because a gentleman had seen the
racquet in the road in front of the
school and thought it might belong
to one of the students. I really appreciate that he took the time to stop,
pick it up and turn it in, rather than
just driving over it or by it! I realize I
must have put it on the roof of my
car while I was unlocking my car
after returning from an away match.
In the dark I didn't realize I had left it
on the roof. Again, thank you so
much for going the extra mile! I really appreciate it.

How Your Taxes Could Double
Over the Next 10 Years
For the past 15 years this county
has been on a self-destruct mission!
We have built a new courthouse,
safety center, library, a new firehouse with two more planned, and a
high school that is under construction. Don't forget the water line
that's going to happen whether we
like it or not. All the great small businesses don't generate the big tax dollars we need to pay for these buildings. New big business has not come
to Fluvanna and it is not on the horizon for the near future. The board of
supervisors want to do a band-aid
approach by a small increase this
year, without addressing the future.
Cutting salaries in education, without doing that to the entire county is
unfair. Without a high school diploma, you can't hold a county job. One
of our supervisors gave a presentation on raising our taxes 30% and
then nothing more over the next
eight years. His fellow board members shot him down and came up
with a 12% increase. That only takes
care of this year and they know in
the years to come things will get
worse. If you add up this approach
over the next ten years you can see
how your taxes will double. So county residents. you can continue with
the small increase each and every
year with no recovery in sight or you
can fix the problem now and start a
recovery plan that other counties
will follow. No one will lose their job
and no one will have their salary cut.

Schools Deal with Many
Children, Many Issues
Several weeks ago I wrote an article in this paper blasting the
Fluvanna County school administrators and staff for being unfair and
not providing a safe atmosphere for
our children. I have learned a valuable lesson from that writing that
article. I should have thought it
through more before just writing in
the heat of the moment, for I now
realize just what the administrators
are up against each day. We as parents know how hard it is to raise a
child, so imagine that difficulty multiplied by the amount of children in
the school, and that’s what the
administrators deal with on a daily
basis, for they are our children’s’
parents/guardians while we cannot
be there. So, let me make this short
and sweet. Perhaps we as parents
need to do more homework of our
own. If your child is a victim of bullying, they need to be told that they
must report any bullying to the
administrators as soon as possible.
That is the only way the administrators can intervene and stop the bullying. On the other hand, if your
child happens to be the bully, he or
she needs to be made aware that it
will not be tolerated and that severe
punishment follows. If they bully on
the bus, they will lose bus privileges.
If they bully in school, they will be
suspended. In either case, the school
and or parents may bring charges
against them. It is a very hard thing
to do to teach your child to not fight
back. At first I thought it made cowards out of them, but history shows
that it creates self-control, and it
makes it that much easier for our
administrators to do their job of
keeping our children safe. Thank
you,
Joe Calabretta, Scottsville
Help Out With Old Farm Day
The first Saturday in October
seems like such a long time away
from now, but soon a group of your
neighbors and fellow residents will
start meeting once a month and plan
Old Farm Day 2010. I have attended
this great event every year since I
moved to Fluvanna, mostly as a volunteer with the Fluvanna Master
Gardeners. I always had respect for
the magic that came together to suddenly have this phenomenal event,
not really thinking much about how
it happened. Last year I was recruited to be a member of the Old Farm
Day committee, to be one of the volunteers that make it happen. Little
did I realize when I agreed to help,
how much I would gain for my
effort. This wasn’t much, meeting
once a month, making a couple of
phone calls and maybe a few added
meetings in September as the day
approaches. What I gained is hard to
put into words. Being there on
October 3rd, watching the faces of
the families enjoying themselves;
seeing the excitement of the kids as
they found taters in the hunt; witnessing friends catching up on their
lives; watching the faces of people as
they learned what “Old Farming”
was about; these were moments that
happened because I helped. I know
there were many others who helped,
but it felt to me like I made it possible. How disappointing that I hadn’t
been involved in this project from
the beginning. The feeling of belonging to a community and of contributing was so strong. Please consider
joining the crew this year as we start
planning for October 2nd, 2010. We
meet once a month ; the 3rd
Thursday at four in the afternoon.
Not only will you experience the
incredible sense of community that I
had, you will also meet some wonderful, dedicated folks who really
know what Old Farm Day is all about
-- both old time Fluvanna residents
as well as transplants like myself. If
you are at all interested, please meet
with us once, no commitment; our
next meeting date is April 15 in the
old board of supervisor’s room in the
county office building. Hope to share
this with many new volunteers this
year!

Author Plans Visit
I am coming to Maggie's House in
Palmyra on April 18 from 2-4 p.m. to
talk about my book, Love and War: A
Southern Soldier's Struggle Between
Love and Duty and also do book signings. There are letters in the book to
Jane Rosser Humphrey Thurman,
who is the daughter of Royal and
Mary Jane Harlow Humphrey and
granddaughter of Bartlett and Betsey
Bernard Humphrey and finally the
great grandmother of Warren Beach
by Jane's second marriage. I would
love to meet some of my cousins on
April 18th.

Fluvanna Focus
BY WILLIAM J. DES ROCHERS
Ambling Towards
Development
One of the side effects of the
economic downturn has been to
take the pressure off new development in Fluvanna. This in turn
has allowed county officials a
respite from making the hard decisions on land use, a topic that so
inflamed passion just a few years
ago.
In the middle of the budget
debate, the county’s planning
department
issued
its
Development Activity Report for
2009. This highly useful and
informative annual report provides a wealth of information
about what was built where, how
much land is protected from
development in some form, and
the like. It should not be ignored.
The report is even more useful
when read in conjunction with
previous ones, to get a sense of
what has been happening in
Fluvanna over the past several
years. And looking at the latest
report, one can see that the county continues its retreat from “one
of the fastest growing counties”
etc.
Since peaking in 2001, when
453 residential building permits
were issued, the market for new
homes in Fluvanna essentially has
collapsed. Last year, new building
permits amounted to just onequarter of the decade’s high. And,
new home permits have declined
every year since 2002.
This downward trend in the past
placated some who saw it as vindication that the county was not
being overrun by development,
hence no reason to restrict property rights. Others, who viewed with
alarm any suggestion that some
homes might be built in the rural
areas of the county, argued that
the current by-right use already
had created a potential for significant unwelcome development.
The debate has not been settled
and data contained in the
Development Activity Report will
not resolve the irresolvable. But it
will, at least, set some parameters.
Currently, according to the report
for example, about 56 percent of
the county has been placed in the
rural preservation area.
But rural preservation has never
been adequately defined, let alone
placed under zoning restrictions
that would make that 56 percent
unique in the county. To achieve
planning objectives, officials will,
in some form, have to restrict
property rights.
But there is another, subtler,
objective at play in the debate: no
growth at all. Advocating rural
preservation can – and in some
instances has -- provided cover for
those who see an opportunity to
use it to further no growth objectives.
The argument that a residential
unit costs more in government
services than the tax revenue it
generates has some merit. But the
argument presupposes that each
unit has school age children. It
also ignores the dynamics of economics.
Economic activity does not
occur in a vacuum. Activity may
occur in one area, and other supporting development invariably
follows. Land use practices and
economics are not incompatible;
they can coexist.
But there will be much more to
say on the subject as the debate
renews.
Meanwhile, policy makers might
reflect on the following: the average new home price in Fluvanna
has declined by nearly one-third
since the last land use debate. And
bankruptcies are increasing in this
recession. Is now the time to take
away property rights, thereby
reducing still further the financial
net worth of the most vulnerable
among us?
At what cost will the county
implement its bucolic vision?

Vigilance Required by
Commonwealth’s Attorney
Sheriff’s Office Activity Report
BY JOE RONAN
CORRESPONDENT
Week Period:
March 28, 2010 - April 3, 2010
Investigations Division
7
The dynamic service provided by the Fluvanna commonwealth attorney is demonstrated by an awareness of all circumstances affecting cases on his docket. Sometimes it involves
post-trial prosecutions of witnesses who gave or instigated perjured testimony. Other times action is required based upon
events that occur in other jurisdictions while a case is pending.
Events that occurred in Charlottesville recently demonstrated
that essential need for vigilance, awareness and willingness to
act. Daryl Arthur Rivera, a Palmyra resident, while free on
secured bail bond in connection with a theft charge in
Fluvanna, was involved in a felony hit and run incident in
Charlottesville.
Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Francis Terwilliger initiated a proceeding which resulted in a hearing to determine
whether Rivera’s bail status should be modified. After hearing
the details of the Charlottesville incident, the court modified the
conditions of Rivera’s bail, requiring him to: live at his mother’s
home, abstain from the use of alcohol, and abide by an 8 p.m.
to 6 a.m. curfew. His trial is scheduled for May 14th.
In other proceedings, Bradley Brian Meredith, recently convicted of possession of a weapon as a convicted felon, entered
guilty pleas to six indictments charging him with inducing others to commit perjury at his gun possession trial. He remains in
custody and will be sentenced on May 28th.
Viviana Raquel Tyler entered not guilty pleas to charges of
perjury and conspiracy to commit perjury in connection with
testimony at Meredith’s trial. Her case will be heard on July 1st
with another defendant charged with perjury in the same case.
A Troy man was sentenced to an active prison sentence of
three years for his conviction of distributing cocaine. Corey
Demond Fortune received an additional three year sentence
related to his violation of a previously imposed sentence of probation. Fortune will be on supervised probation for two years
after his release and must maintain good behavior for ten years.
Failure to maintain good behavior could result in additional
prison time.
A Bremo Bluff man was convicted of felony driving with a
suspended license after a non-jury trial. Robert Montgomery
Anderson was arrested on July 29, 2010 for operating a motor
vehicle while his driver’s license was under current suspension.
Because of a previous conviction for operating with a suspended license, the charge was elevated to a felony.
Jennifer Leigh Selph entered a “no contest” plea to charges of
forging and passing a forged check. A “No Contest Plea” (also
known as “nolo contendere” which means “I will not contest
it”) has the same legal effect as a guilty plea. She will be sentenced on June 24th.

Lake Certifies Candidates
BY PAGE H. GIFFORD
CORRESPONDENT
At a special Lake Monticello
Owners’ Association meeting on
April 1, the board of directors certified for candidates to run for two
vacant seats on the board. Britt
Johnson, Gary Dillon, Jerry Guske
and Sue Wolff will be vying for member votes come June.
Approved Draft of
Proposal for June Ballot
The board also discussed the proposal to raise dues - an increase of
$108 for reserves.
“We would have to pay a bit now
instead of a lot later,” said President
Leighton Cumming.
“This is not something the board
takes lightly,” said Director Benita
Ellen. “We have considered all the
issues before deciding.” Secretary
Don Fickus agreed and added, “They
[the dues] will not increase for the
next five years. It may decrease but
not increase.”
Platt took issue with this statement
by Fickus.“There is nothing in the
proposal that states this,” Platt said.
“The POAA requires a reserve
study every five years, if we do not
pass this then we’ll have to have a
special assessment,” added Director
Scott Meiss.
Leighton Cumming praised Meiss
for his work on the proposal but the
directors agreed there was more
work to be done before the final
draft could be released. Ellen added
that it is not finalized and subject to
legal review.
Public Comments
Audience members applauded
member Carol Brown’s comments
during the public comments segment of the meeting. She began her
statement with the 2009-2010 storm
cleanup cost estimated at $110,000 - money which had not been budgeted. She adds there is the trash contract which will probably be higher
due to the new contract currently in
negotiations and the contract for the
recent dam engineering.
“The recession continues, jobs are
at best keeping even, foreclosures at
Lake Monticello are estimated at half
of Fluvanna County, so that probably
reduced the Lake’s income. Out of
the estimated 4,624 billings of lots at
$598 dues, what percentage of these
is uncollectible? Ten, twenty percent
or more? We also have less estimated
income.”
She adds that the board changed
the Director of Contracts position
from part-time to full-time in late
2009. The outsourcing of the Eagle’s
Nest was a cost savings and Lake
Monticello will need seasonal hires
for the pool.
“But the budget cuts listed were to
reduce dumpster time from six to
three weeks. Not sure of the savings
here and that depends on the number of times the dumpster is emptied
but expect a reduction of a third,
maybe more. Do only one of three
greens and save $50,000.”
“I recommend no new 2010 positions. We decreased seasonal operations and summer hires for 2009.

months to oversee the pool, 4th of
July and Oktoberfest? The 4th of July
expenses estimate for fireworks does
not include security, police, maintenance time or overtime. If we are
cutting back, do we need three
ditch/drainage laborers at approximately $60,000 right now?”
She ended her comments by stating, “Eighty five percent of the current budget stated is covering human
resources. How can we expect to
cover operations and reserves with
that percentage, and take on additional new hires? We should be looking at ways that we can reduce staff
and expenses. The state is doing it
and so are many businesses. Our
overheads cost is too high and we
need to find ways to cut back,” said
Brown.

Nothing Says Spring More than Bluebirds
BY PAGE H. GIFFORD
CORRESPONDENT
Most people shy away from visiting animal shelters for fear of what
they may see: cats in tight cages and
dogs in small pens. But that is not the
case at Caring For Creatures Pet
Sanctuary. Spring has arrived and
volunteers are working on a new
structure to house the dogs who
were displaced when the roof fell in
on their former pen due to the heavy
snows. And just across the way is a
field edged with woods where a
newly designed bluebird trail invites
shelter dogs and volunteers to walk
the trails around them.
In January of 2009, Caring for
Creatures became a member of the
Virginia Bluebird Society. A five-box
bluebird house trail was established
in February on the grounds of CFC.
This past February, the trail was
expanded by an additional five
boxes, for a total of ten nest boxes.
This has been done with grant funds
from the Virginia Bluebird Society
and a little time and carpentry work
by volunteers George and Fay Tyler.

Beyond the Mists: Travels through Time
BY PAGE H. GIFFORD
CORRESPONDENT
Local author Gwendolyn Graham
has written an epic saga about a family in England in her first published
book titled Beyond the Mists. She
began the book almost twenty years
ago and revised it six times, editing
herself on a ten year old computer.
This is remarkable considering it is
well written and over 600 pages long.
“I love to write, it’s fun,” said a
modest Graham, who worked on this
book and others while working for
32 years as a mortgage manager
while married and raising children.
“It’s strange, I got more done in those
days while I was working than I do
now,” she said, stroking a black cat
with penetrating green eyes, one of
four cats that keep Graham company.
She seemed destined to be a writer.
“As a child growing up in Canada, the
Ottawa Citizen had a full page in the
paper devoted to young writers and I
often contributed to it” she said. After
her father died, she moved to
England with her mother and it was
there that she learned about life in
her grandmother’s time. Her grandmother was born in 1868, and it was
her grandmother, her mother and
aunt who became the inspiration for
this book.
While growing up in the beautiful
English Cotswold, she developed her
fascination with England, and eventually Scotland and Ireland. This
urged her to learn more about these
places and their rich history.
“Though I lived in England, not far
from Scotland and Ireland, I have
never visited either place but would
love to someday,” she said, now cuddling a shy white cat as the black cat
snakes up the back of the couch and
coils up into a ball.
Beyond The Mists describes an era
of unwavering Christian faith when
etiquette and civility ruled. It fashions itself after past classics including Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre,
Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice or
such contemporary epics as the
Forsythe Saga. Not as light and frivolous as Austin’s romps it models itself
more after the Bronte sisters work,
more dark and mysterious with forbidden passions.
The story unfolds in 1805 during
the Empire period, through the
Biedermeier period, coming to a climax during the Victorian age.
Graham also has a unique way of
telling the story from not one character but through the eyes and recollections of several characters to which
each part of the book is devoted. The
book opens with arrogant Duke
Julian Ashbourne of the English
estate Sylverthorpe. Christian to the
core, as is most of the family, he goes
beyond the righteous living, falling
prey to his passions. His lifelong love
for his wife begins in Sylverthorpe’s
Lake, early one misty morning.
As the saga continues, Mathew a
vicar and one of Julian’s sons have a
difficult marriage with the rather shy
and introverted Lissa. Together, they
try to deal with their son William, a
dreadful child. Between his marriage
and his son William, he feels like a
failure as a husband, a father and a
vicar and how Mathew deals with it is
a lesson in itself.
Kate, Julian’s willful daughter, tries
to cover her less than stellar actions
by blaming her parents. Victoria is a
foundling who Kate coaxes her parents to care for and plays a significant part in Adam – Kate’s brothers’- future. Through the final chapter,
told by character Laura, all the dark
secrets of Sylverthorpe are revealed.
Gothic novels have always had the
same elements as the modern day
soap opera, following unpredictable

changes in the life of a powerful and
fascinating family. Graham gives her
characters dimension through their
dialect, memories and thoughts. How
they view themselves and their interaction with others gives the reader a
sense of who these people are and
what motivates them.
Graham’s sense of place and her
detailed descriptions bring everything alive. Her historical knowledge
is also evident, lending authenticity
to the realism of the times in which
her characters lived. Her writing, par-
ticularly her metaphors drift easily
and the reader has a sense of the
author’s love of the written word.
If one enjoys English epics and
family sagas, Beyond the Mists is
delightful to read and keeps the reader on the edge with suspense. But the
saga doesn’t end there; the sequel
will be Heavens’ Distant Lamps.
Graham has just begun to market
this book. It is currently available at
Amazon.com and soon to be available at the Palmyra Country Store at
Lake Monticello.

Historical Society Hosts
Robert Crewdson
BY JUDITH MICKELSON
CONTRIBUTOR
The Fluvanna County
Historical Society will
host the second “Local
Authors’ Book Signing
Afternoon”
with
Robert
Henry
Crewdson, on April 18,
from 2-4 p.m. at
Maggie’s House.
Crewdson, will discuss his book, Love and
War – A Southern
Soldier’s
Struggle
Between Love and Duty,
and he will sign the
books
for
guests.
Books will be available
at the event for $14.95.
At 3 p.m. Crewdson
will give an informal
talk.
In a book review.
Fluvanna
resident
William J. Des Rochers
wrote, the “Reverend Robert
Crewdson has published a moving
compilation of Civil War letters
written largely by one Merit
Thurman, an ancestor. The letters
are primarily written to Thurman’s
young wife, Jane. Nearly 20 years
his junior, she remains offstage
since there are no surviving letter
from her in the Crewdson collection. Thurman was a boatman and
apparently met Jane Rosser in
Fluvanna County, possibly at
Union Mills – at the time a thriving
mill town where she lived. They
were married in the Methodist
Church there on Dec. 2, 1862…”
James I. Robertson, Jr., author of
Stonewall Jackson, wrote, “You can
never understand the Civil War
until you understand its emotion.
In this collection of Civil War letters from a Confederate soldier to
his beloved, one constantly
encounters the inner conflicts
between love and duty, as well as
discipline and homesickness.
Thurman speaks for thousands of
compatriots who faced America’s
darkest crisis.”
And author of Tried by War:
Abraham Lincoln as CommanderIn-Chief, James M. McPherson
writes, “These poignant letters
from a newly-wed confederate soldier to his young wife illustrate the

dilemma of any Civil War volunteers torn between love and duty to
county. Private Merit Thurman
went AWOL more than once to be
with his wife, but ultimately the
war claimed his life at the battle of
Chester’s Station in May 1864.”
We are fortunate that Crewdson
will join us on April 18 to share his
ancestors’ letters. The Historical
Society is happy to invite the public to the book signing. There is no
admission charge and all are welcome. Maggie’s House is located in

Youth Help Out Habitat for Humanity
BY KEN ALBRIGHT
CONTRIBUTOR
Over 50 energetic young people descended on a
Habitat for Humanity-owned home on Georges
Mill Road in Palmyra on Saturday, March 27.
Youth groups and their adult advisors from several congregations came together for a landscaping
blitz on the home to prepare it to sell.
Habitat resumed ownership of the home when
its previous owner became unable to make the
mortgage. Fluvanna Habitat president Mike Himes
said, “This is always an unfortunate circumstance,
but we have worked hard on the property and
hope that it will turn out to be a blessing for our
organization.”
Himes also said, “This is the only four bedroom,
two bath home Fluvanna Habitat has ever built. It
should be very marketable in the community.”
Funds from the sale of the home, which will
likely be on the market by May, will be used to
purchase land in Fluvanna to build more Habitat
homes and move forward on the construction of
another home for a selected family in the High
Mountain Acres subdivision.
Youth from the following churches participated
in the event, which was sponsored by the Habitat
Church Relations Committee:
Crossroads
Community Church, Evergreen Baptist, Fluvanna

Baptist, Grace and Glory Lutheran, and Salem
United Methodist.
Together the youth accomplished a lot in a short
period of time. They spread mulch, trimmed
branches, removed rubbish, planted shrubs, laid
straw over grass seed, and set a deck landing.
Himes thanked the large group of youth at the
completion of their work and said “You have done
in a short period of time, the better part of a
month’s work.”

BINGO!!! Big Changes Coming
CONTRIBUTED BY LAKE MONTICELLO
VOLUNTEER FIRE AND RESCUE
BANKRUPTCY
Changes are ahead for Friday night
Bingo at Lake Monticello Volunteer
Fire and Rescue. After nearly 20
years on Friday night, Bingo will
soon move to Thursday night.
Just like many other events,
LMVF&R Bingo has been hurt by the
weak economy. With attendance
down and consequently, proceeds
down, the LMVF&R Bingo committee
discussed alternatives to the very
real possibility that Bingo might have
to cease operations, which would be
a huge loss. As one of its major
fundraisers, the proceeds from Bingo
are vital to the operations of the Fire
and Rescue Organization, which
serves not only Lake Monticello residents but all of Fluvanna County.
Since Thursday night is one of the
few nights that does not have a competing local Bingo operation in play,
switching was a logical but difficult
decision to make. “We realize that
Friday night Bingo has been a constant fixture for players and volunteers alike and hope they all will follow us to Thursday night”, Bingo
Director Aubrey Pace said.
Bingo Manager Jean Bockman
said, “We appreciate all the support
from our loyal patrons and look forward to offering them a new and
improved Bingo game on Thursday
night.”
There’s no doubt with new games
and a changed program, along with
the move to Thursday night,
LMVF&R Bingo will be successful
once again. There will also be a few
changes and additions to the concessions
menu
according
to
Concessions Manager Pat Bozza.
Pat, Jean and Aubrey invite everyone to join them on Thursday, April
15th for the new and improved
LMVF&R Bingo kickoff. In addition
to the regular payouts and door
prizes, there will be additional giveaways. Doors open at 5 p.m. with
Early Bird games starting at 6:45
p.m. We invite all of our friends in
Lake Monticello, Fluvanna County
and the surrounding areas to please
come and join us for a great evening
of Bingo, and a hot meal from the
concession kitchen. Come prepared
to have a great time. Any questions,
please call 434-591-1018 or 434589-4638.
Friday night Bingo has been a tradition at Lake Monticello Volunteer
Fire and Rescue for almost twenty
years. LMVF&R Bingo was started in
late 1991 by Cecil and Gwen
Smithers. Cecil was one of our firemen at the time. Previously, Cecil
had been a fireman with the
Seminole Trail Fire Dept and ran
their Bingo game there. In 1991,
they moved from Charlottesville, and
he joined the Lake Monticello Fire
Department, and decided to bring
Bingo to the Lake. All the Bingo
games were held in the bay area,
until the completion of the Maple
Room in late 1992, where Bingo has
had a home ever since. The Maple
Room was named for John Maple,
who was one of the founders of
LMVF&R. Volunteers to work Bingo
were recruited from members of the
Fire Department, the Rescue Squad
and the Auxiliary. Among the first
volunteers were Jim and JoAnn Link,
Ruby Powers, Ed and Evelyn Brown,
Marge Turbet, Tom and Irene Reese,
Thelma Stowell, Jack and Evelyn
Murphy, Scotty and Dorothy Salter,
Bill and Peg Crawford, and Dorothy
Engler, among many others. Some
of these good folks are still volunteering here after all this time.

Proposed Roundabout to Make Intersection Safer
BY CARLOS SANTOS
EDITOR
Fluvanna County may soon be
getting its first roundabout at one of
its most dangerous intersections –
South Boston Road and Thomas
Jefferson Parkway.
The proposed roundabout –
which is a type of traffic circle
though smaller and requiring slower speeds – will slow drivers on
Thomas Jefferson Parkway -- also
known as Rt. 53-- and help those on
South Boston Road -- also known as
Rt. 600 -- turn onto Rt. 53, according to officials.
“It’s an intersection that requires
some sort of traffic control,’’ said
Lou Hatter, a spokesman for the
Virginia
Department
of
Transportation. “It’s difficult for
people to get onto Rt. 53 safely.’’
The roundabout design, which
has long been popular in Europe, is
essentially a circular intersection in
which vehicles travel in one direction around a central island. Unlike
many traffic circles, drivers entering
the circle must slow down and yield
to drivers already in the circle.
Hatter said there was “some concern especially at the beginning if
people know how to use a roundabout. But drivers are smart.’’
There are about 60 roundabouts
in operation in Virginia now – the
vast majority of which were built in
the last few years. There are four
roundabouts
in
neighboring
Albemarle County – the best known
located at the entrance to the
Charlottesville-Albemarle airport.
One of the oldest roundabouts in
the state is located in Gordonsville
and was built in 1940, according to
VDOT. “In the last 10 to 15 years we
started looking at them as an
option,’’ said Hatter.
Hatter said roundabouts are
become more popular America and
Virginia because they are safer than
a traditional traffic signal. Hatter
said there are 32 “conflict points’’ at
an intersection which can lead to,
for example, “t-bones and head-on
collisions,’’ and only eight “conflict
points’’ at a roundabout. Those conflict points are also usually less dangerous in a roundabout because of
slow speeds inside the circle – 15 to
20 miles per hour. “It’s designed so
people have to slow down,’’ Hatter
said.
The roundabout also has other
advantages compared to a traffic
light. The roundabout will allow
travelers on Rt. 600 to slip onto Rt.
53 easily, but traffic on heavily travelled Rt. 53 would not be backed up
by a stoplight, Hatter said.
Roundabouts are more expensive
than traffic signals and require more
land for construction. A traffic signal – which requires more maintenance than a roundabout – costs
about $250,000 to install, said
Hatter.
The roundabout at the T-intersection of Rts. 600 and 53 will cost
about $2.1 million, said Hatter.
Construction is slated to begin in
the summer of 2012.
But before it all starts, Fluvanna
residents will be able to find out
about the propose realignment and
construction of the roundabout at a
meeting scheduled for April 28,
from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the
Fluvanna County Library in
Palmyra. Residents will be able to
comment at the hearing orally or in
writing.
VDOT Facts About Roundabouts
Modern Roundabouts are the safest at-grade intersection.
They move traffic safely and efficiently through an intersection because
of:
• Slower speeds
• Fewer conflict points
• Easy decision-making
Studies show that roundabouts provide a:
• 90% reduction in fatal crashes
• 75% reduction in injury crashes
• 30—40% reduction in pedestrian crashes
• 10% reduction in bicycle crashes
Slower vehicle speeds (under 25mph) mean:
• Drivers have more time to judge and react to other vehicles and
pedestrians
• Easier to use for older and novice drivers
• Reduction in the severity of accidents
• Pedestrians are safer
• Provides traffic calming
Increased Capacity - Reduced Delay
• 30—50% increase in traffic capacity
• Traffic always on the move–less delay
Environmental:
• Reduction in pollution and fuel use
• Less noise due to fewer stops and starts
Low Maintenance:
• No signal equipment to install and repair – Averages savings of $5,000
per intersection per year
Aesthetics:
• Improves visual quality and character through landscaping

Easter Egg-Stravaganza Sees Large Crowd
BY PAGE H. GIFFORD
CORRESPONDENT
The annual Easter Egg-Stravaganza couldn’t have asked for better weather
considering the crowds of parents and children from all around the area who
came for the annual event. Hunting for Easter eggs is the highlight of this
annual event sponsored by Fluvanna County Parks and Recreation and held
at Pleasant Grove this past weekend.
When kids weren’t hunting for eggs, they created some clever crafts by
using a paper bunny face and a plastic egg.
“The event was very good and the participation was about 400 people, give
or take a few,” said Aaron Spitzer, who heads up the Promotions and Special
Events for FCPR. Naturally, it wouldn’t be Easter without the Easter Bunny,
who paid everyone a visit.

Flucos Flock to Pleasant Grove to Support Habitat for Humanity
BY TORI DRAYER
FCHS MASS MEDIA STUDENT
Fluvanna County’s very own
Habitat for Humanity is a non-profit
organization that constructs “green”
homes that are approved as environmentally safe and are built for people in Fluvanna who cannot afford
their own home. According to
Habitat for Humanity, the homes are
equipped with “…a conditioned
crawl space, more efficient windows,
a better insulation package, higher
efficiency heat pump, and more
durable exterior finishes.”
Since the organization is all nonprofit, the directors are always trying
to find ways to raise more money so
they can afford to build more homes.
Recently, they found a very inventive
way.
On March 20, Habitat for
Humanity held their second annual
5k race and a two-mile walk to benefit their current “green” building.
The registration fee of $25 per person went directly to the building
funds for the most recent home
(their 12th in the county).
Racers and walkers flocked to
Pleasant Grove where the race and
walk were held. The race was by no
means only for adults; children in
the age group from 10-13 came out
and competed in the race, while
other young kids decided to walk.
According to Habitat’s board president, Michael Himes, “The course
was a challenging one for the racers

second annual fundraising 5K race. Contributed photo.
this year, due to the ongoing construction of the new high school.”
Still, the racers seemed to enjoy the
beautiful weather.
FCHS junior Ben Casto, the first to
cross the finish line in the 5K,
achieved the best time. “The weather was ideal for the race,” Casto said.
Rose Brogan, FCHS chemistry
teacher and track coach agreed that,
“The weather was definitely the
best,” for her three-mile run. Brogan
was also the top runner in the
women’s 40-49 year-old age group.
The racers and walkers were
rewarded with prizes just for registering and supporting the Habitat for
Humanity organization. The top two
runners won two large prizes, and
gift-card prizes were given to first
and second place winners in each
specific age group. Other prizes
were drawn by lottery from all of the
registrants.
Businesses also supported the
three-mile run by donating all of the
prizes, which mostly consisted of gift
cards to their stores.
After the race, local venders provided fresh fruit, bagels, and water
for all the competitors. Thanks to
the many participants, Habitat for
Humanity was able to raise a nice
chunk of money for the construction
of house #12. “The 5k was great fun,
and it was for a great cause,” said
runner Dana Drayer.
If you didn’t catch the race this
year, don’t worry. Start your training
now by signing up for the next 5k
race and two-mile walk to support
Fluvanna County Meals on Wheels
on April 24th. But don’t forget to go
out to Pleasant Grove next year to
support Habitat for Humanity
builders and our community. While
you’re at it, have fun competing,
winning prizes, and cheering on
your fellow runners.

Boys’ Soccer Team Begins Defense of District Title
BY DUNCAN NIXON
CORRESONPONDENT
The Fluvanna County High School
boys’ soccer team is facing a major
challenge this year. They are hoping
to repeat as Jefferson District champions.
In 2009, they posted a 9-3 record
in Jefferson District play. The team
has a number of excellent players
returning, but also must compensate
for the loss of three All-Jefferson
District first-team players.
Returning to lead the attack is junior Taylor Rafaly who was named to
the All-Jefferson District first-team
last year, and was also honored as
the Jefferson District player of the
year. These are very impressive credentials in light of the fact that he
was only a sophomore last year.
Junior midfielder Josh Hinkle, who
was second team All-Jefferson
District last year, returns to patrol the
middle of the field. The defense will

be directed by junior goaltender Nick
Greco. He has big shoes to fill as last
year’s keeper, Casey Cagle, was
named Jefferson district goalkeeper
of the year. However, Coach Patrick
Dieter reports that he believes that
Greco is fully up to the task of replacing Cagle. Dieter describes Greco as a
“great goal keeper who is very sound
and also a great team leader.”
Dieter also has a number of other
valuable returnees. Seniors Nick
Shepard and Sean Bianco will be
counted on heavily in the midfield.
Junior defenders Tygh Allbaugh and
Chris Chirico will help keep the ball
away from the goal. Moving up to the
varsity this year are two freshman
midfielders: Dale Ludwig and
Christian Franco, who Dieter said
“have been working their butts off to
get playing time”. Dieter expects that
their effort will be an example to the
more experienced players.
In an early home game against
non-District opponent Spotsylvania
High School, the Flucos came away
with a fairly easy 2-0 win. However,
Dieter was not very impressed with
his teams play, noting that the team
will have to tighten up its passing
and its defense to be successful in
Jefferson District play.
In the game against Spotsylvania,
the Flucos got an early score with
just over 27 minutes still on the
clock, when Nick Sheppard fired an
excellent crossing pass to Taylor
Rafaly in the middle of the field.
Rafaly promptly drilled home the
goal, past a goaltender who had no
chance to make a stop. During the
rest of the half the Flucos did a good

job of controlling the middle of the
field, but as their coach noted “they
would make several nicely controlled passes, and then someone
would make a mistake”. Accordingly,
very few good scoring chances were
generated. Late in the period Rafaly
and Ludwig both made nice crossing
passes, but no one was able to convert them into scores.
In the second half of the game
with Spotsylvania, the Flucos
applied far more offensive pressure
than their opponents, but spent most
of the period being frustrated as
their forward rushes just did not
quite click. They did force a number
of corner kicks and ultimately it was
a corner kick with about six minutes
remaining that gave the Flucos their
second goal and a safe lead for the
duration of the match. Freshman
midfielder Christian Franco lofted a
beautifully bending ball that was
hooking toward the inside top corner
of the net. Spotsylvania’s goalkeeper
went up to make the catch, but fumbled the ball into the goal. The
Flucos easily played out the remaining time for the win.
With the Jefferson District now
including eight high schools, the
Flucos will be playing fourteen
Jefferson District games this season.
They will be playing consecutive
home games on April 12, April 15
and April 19 against William
Monroe, Goochland County and
Orange County. Their toughest competition in the district will likely
come from Western Albemarle, a traditional district power, who the
Flucos defeated twice last year.

Fluco Softball Continues to Grow
BY SARA MARKHAM,
FCHS JOURNALISM STUDENT
Softball. There is nothing soft about it, especially for the girls of Fluvanna County High
School. Softball is a lifestyle and a passion to these girls and they show this through their
amazing talents on the field. Head Coach Nick Ward teaches them everything that he can.
He has put much time and effort into his team and he has said that they repay him with nothing but improvement and success.
Ever since the softball program was started at FCHS it has done nothing but grow in popularity and talent. The girls’ 2009 season was brilliant and can only get better this coming
season. Off to a rocky start with a loss of 12-1 to Spotsylvania on Tuesday, March 23, the girls
are not worried and are just ready to show everyone what they can do.
Senior Kaitlin Driver, who plays first base and utility, said, “We are a family and all love
being around and playing together.” This fact definitely shows on the field with their strong
ability to communicate and play as a team and not as individuals. Senior Briana Robbins,
better known as “Budda,” said, “I cannot believe that it is my last season with my best friends.
I’m going to miss them all so much.” Although the team will be losing five key players next
year, they are making the best out of it while they still can. Every senior agrees that there is
no doubt that the team will continue to grow and thrive without them.
So, as said by many of the players and the proud coach, we’d better keep a close watch on
these girls as the season progresses. We will only be seeing greatness.

7. You feel sorry for those dust bunnies under your bed -- they need
somewhere to live!
6. You would rather save the money and paint the baseboards when the
buildup becomes unbearable.
5. Cleaning gives you an excuse for not doing something more creative.
4. You just got a new membership to Sam's Club and want to spend your
money on all those cleaning supplies.
3. You believe in corporate America; you would rather pay more for a

A Dialer in Denial
The woman wearing the Jackie
O. glasses in the Ford Escape’s
doing it. So is the construction
worker with his elbow propped up
on the window in the white pickup truck. The old man wearing the
cap in the Toyota Avalon is too.
Stop it. Get. Off. The. Phone.
That last driver swerved across
the double-yellow lines right
before he passed me. Maybe I
should call the police. But then I
would be on a cell phone. And
besides, the officer cruising by
was–guess what?–talking to someone on his cell.
The temptation to talk on a cell
phone while driving is like a cigarette habit. It’s attractive and addictive to people of all ages. We all
know it’s risky, dangerous, and
dumb.
Except when we find ourselves
doing it. And there are many of us
who are members of the "Driving
While Distracted" club who are in
denial.
Our kids have been trained to tell
me to put the cell phone down or
pull over if they ever see me reaching for mine while I’m driving. And
because of that, I have stopped
making phone calls when they’re
in the car.
But when they’re not around,
and I’m in my SUV of Silence, the
cell phone beckons to me the way
a pack of Marlboros call to a smoker: "Come on. You know you want
me. Make the most of this little
break. Just one, that’s all."
You’ve been meaning to catch up
with your friend for ages. There
aren’t any backseat drivers begging
you to turn up Taylor Swift and
asking every five seconds, "Hey,
you know what?"
Why not make the most of a 15minute trip on a quiet two-lane
highway you know like the back of
your–hey, what’s that thing on
your knuckle?
Instead of hearing your BFF’s
(Best Friends Forever) voice in your
ear, you hear that Voice of Reason,
who sounds an awful lot like one
of those super-serious Voice Over
guys on insurance commercials
and political campaigns:
Driving while on a cell phone is as
bad as driving drunk, according to a
University of Iowa study.
But this is an easy commute!
And you can’t spill an iPhone!
Nearly 6,000 people died in 2008
in crashes involving a distracted
driver, according to Distraction.gov,
a
U.S.
Department
of
Transportation website.
Hey, about 7,000 people in the
United States die annually from
medication mistakes, and we’re
not all going to stop taking our pills
because of that, are we?
Oprah launched the "No Phone
Zone Pledge" to stop drivers from
texting, emailing, and chatting on
their cell phones while behind the
wheel.
Well, Oprah is our collective
conscience. If Oprah tells me not
to do it...
So, along with 165,060 other
suburban mommies, I have signed
the Oprah online No Phone Zone
Pledge. No more sneaking in a
quick chat on the way to pick up
the kids or groceries. From now
on, I’ll only stand on the far side of
the front porch or awkwardly in
front of the fireplace to have a cell
phone conversation that I can hear
well. We don’t have cell phone
towers that look like flag polls to
support our burgeoning network
of cell phone users and our county
emergency services. But hey, that’s
the small price you pay for living
where it’s pretty. If you crash
because you were distracted
because your cell phone lost connection around Zions Crossroads,
good luck calling 911 on anyone’s
cell phone there!
Although I regret all those times
I’ve driven-and-dialed, I am proud
to say that I have never attempted
texting while behind the wheel of
a moving vehicle. That’s mostly
due to my outdated Wang Chung
phone and lack of patience with
text conversations. After the third
exchange or so, just call me
already. The conversation would
be faster, more fun, and take less
effort.
But don’t call me from Route 64
unless you’re in the breakdown
lane. Oprah’s orders.
