STEM is for every student
As the prior Chairman on the Department of Education Career and Technical
Education (CTE) Advisory Committee and
present Vice-Chairman on the Virginia
Career Education Foundation formed by
Governor Warner I have been asked hundreds of questions on CTE and Science,
Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM).
As a business person, with a PhD and not
an educator by trade, I can relate CTE and
STEM to the business environment.
The most common questions are: What
students should be taking STEM and when?
In my opinion every student should be involved in STEM and not just the gifted or advanced students. STEM is inclusive and does
not depend on gender or race. STEM should
be included in every middle school curricula. Middle school students are creative, intuitive, daring, and innovative learners.
This understanding goes beyond knowledge of the basic concepts. It is a way of
thinking, problem solving, and integrating information so that you and your students approach problems and ideas both
critically and creatively. These skills and
approaches to problem solving are essential for students today, who must compete
in an increasingly digital society and who
are entering an extremely competitive job
market. The habits of mind that are practiced while exploring STEM content, and
the 21st century skills that are practiced
while engaging in inquiry, team-based
and project-based learning, are critical for
equipping students with the tools necessary to be successful.
– Robert Mayfield, Scottsville
Vote yes for R&R/dues
increase
Some say the R&R/dues increase is too
much. The R&R targets our amenities that
are most in need of attention. Some improvements and maintenance (tennis courts,
roads, etc.) are scheduled and can be accomplished with our low annual dues, but
major improvements cannot. Our 40-year
old buildings are in need of major repair,
renovation or replacement, and changes
to comply with the law. Some of our playground equipment has been removed for
safety issues. The Ashlawn basketball courts
are unsafe and need complete resurfacing.
So this work needs to be done.
These changes will improve the quality
of life for all residents. For all, the community will be revitalized. Lake Monticello will
attract new buyers with amenities that are
attractive, useful and vibrant.
The Board of Directors has proposed a
clever plan to finance these improvements.
We use part of the money we made on the
sale of the water facility. We borrow more
of that money and pay interest to ourselves.
We increase the annual dues by $95. We
are left with annual dues that are still much
lower than comparable communities, a pot
of money (that other communities don’t
have) that would cover the deductible of
our dam insurance, and safe, updated and
usable facilities!
The R&R/dues increase proposal is a
compromise; a foundation on which to
build. The building improvements are a
necessary first step. We get safe and attractive facilities, more and varied meeting
space, better dining facilities, and improved
working conditions for our administrative
staff. We take care of our playgrounds and
basketball courts.
So it seems the R&R/dues increase proposal is just right! Great facilities, low price,
nest egg, foundation for the future. Thanks
to the Board for all your hard work. To the
community, please vote yes.
–Lorraine Bergstresser, Lake Monticello
$1.63 a week
As Lake Monticello residents consider
how to vote on the R&R project, it’s important that they see clearly what they are
voting for. Basically, they are simply asked to
decide whether the extra $1.63 per week in
dues is worth what residents will get for it.
So, here is what the $1.63 will pay for:
The main clubhouse will be completely
renovated, with the décor updated and additional space provided and become fully
compliant with federal ADA law. The upgraded Faulconer Room will allow larger meetings and club events, and be rentable for
events such as weddings and graduations.
An upgraded and expanded Ashlawn
Grille will be an overall nicer place to dine
and take friends. That, in turn, will likely
make it more successful, meaning more
income for LMOA.
New picnic pavilions and other facilities
will be provided. Picnic tables and grills will
be available in the area, and there will be a
new 20 foot by 30 foot pavilion for use by
families and groups.
There will be resurfaced tennis courts
and basketball courts at the main clubhouse
and at Lafayette, and improved playgrounds
that are safer for children and accessible to
the handicapped around LMOA.
The new Bunker Recreation Center will
have four meeting rooms instead of one,
which can be combined into one large
room for larger events – with better acoustics and lighting for LMOA and club meetings and private events. It also will include a
new pub/sports bar/cafe with food, a liquor
license and big-screen TVs as a community
gathering place in the evenings, as well as
for golfers during the day. There also will
be 20-30 additional parking spaces at the
Bunker Rec Center.
Everyone hopes you’ll cast your vote on
the R&R process, making your best judgement, based on the real facts, of whether
the improvements are worth $1.63 per
week to you.
– Mike Feazel, Lake Monticello
Who uses meeting space?
The recent Fluvanna Review Vote Yes ads
are paid for by the Lake Monticello residents “Vote Yes” group. It meets regularly,
passes-the-hat for fund-raising, covering
the cost of signs, buttons, advertising, etc.
These ads are separate from the full page
Lake Extra, run by the LMOA to communicate more fully with residents.
There are also comments about need
for more meeting space. One gentleman
wondered “who goes to so many meetings
and nothing ever gets done at meetings
anyway.” That caused me to try to list groups
that use space at the main clubhouse. They
include in no particular order – Brownies,
Girl Scouts, Scout Troop 138, painters at
the lake, Thursday, poker, mah jongg, and
pinochle players, ball room, step, tap, clog
and line dancing, at least 25 book groups,
the broadcast group, the ECC, finance and
the Lake health committee. That’s off the
top of my head.
Also, compliance, solicitation and review,
newcomers and old friends, LM Free Exchange, board game club, aerobics, duplicate bridge, lefty ladies, Aqua VA ad hoc
committee, basket weaving, quilt makers,
Rivanna Lions Club, Rotary, Building Roads
and Grounds, fisheries management,
Me-May 1, Little Ones at the Lake, Hand and
Foot, Browning duplicate bridge Friends of
the Lake, Lakers Investment Group, wildlife
committee, audit, watershed committee,
TGIFF mixer, computer users group, and the
playground committee.
To those who wonder who is using the
clubhouse and meeting room, they are our
friends, neighbors and a fabulous group of involved citizens. Vote yes to the R&R proposal.
– Deborah Nixon, Lake Monticello
Outstanding public servant
I read with disappointment that the current
clerk of the circuit court, B.E. Peterson, was
not going to seek re-election this fall. I remember when he was first elected 26 years
ago. I am happy to have known him and been
his friend through all of these years.
He would stop everything he was working
on to help anyone in need of his expertise
or for other reasons. He excelled in his
work as clerk of the court.
Many times we would sit in his office on
election night, eating pizza, and waiting
for the election results to come in from the
Registrar’s Office.
In addition to his friendship, we also had
a business relationship while I worked as
Fluvanna editor for The Central Virginian in
the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. No information
had to be pried from his office. Everything
was transparent, and his professionalism
representing the clerk helped me tremendously while doing my job. Even as a friend
he was fair to all the other competition
when information was needed about the
election or a case.
I will miss his sense of humor.
As he goes through another stage in his
life, I am confident that he will remain
the same, positive, compassionate, helpful
person he has always been.
– Peggy Udell Flick, Lake Monticello
Wondering about advice
You got to wonder about what people are
thinking, especially when they are advising people to vote no on the Lake’s Repair
and Replacement project. One writer
used Ronald and Nancy Reagan and even
Pogo for quotes that haven’t anything to
do with projects such as this. For Pogo’s
“enemy,” you don’t know whether it is for
those voting yes or no. Ronald was talking
about trusting the Russians and Nancy was
saying no to using drugs. Can you imagine
Ronald Reagan living at Lake Monticello,
where cheapness and hypocrisy are the
just say no words? And how about Valerie
Palamountain, who while president of the
Board, “acknowledged that improvements
were needed to be made to LMOA facilities.”
Now, we cannot continue our band aid approach as seeing Wayne Schmidt climbing
an extension ladder to fix a partially condemned Bunker Recreation Center. Well, we
get what we pay for and our insurance at the
Lake no longer covers volunteers climbing
ladders to keep our buildings upright.
And what is it with those who think that
after all these years of our past Boards not
finding a better funding solution that when
they do find a proposal and have a vision
to present it to our members, they want
the Board to go back to the drawing board?
Sounds like the preverbal ostrich sticking
its head in the sand.
By the way, the R&R project is the involvement of many members and residents
at the Lake. It is a proposal with benefits
that far exceed it costs. When they dammed
up Boston Creek some 45 plus years ago,
they knew we had to take care of our Lake
Monticello amenities, but we didn’t! Come
on folks, quit tilting at windmills and let’s
bring Lake Monticello into the 21st century.
Vote yes. Not voting is a no vote!
– Kit Walz, Palmyra
Go bare bones
I agree that the clubhouse should be
updated. It is something that the Lake needs.
However I am told that the price tag for demolition, design and construction of the
Bunker facility is $4,381,917. This I believe
is too much. The number came from an
email from the Lake Monticello Owners’ Association treasurer. This is a building which
would be wise to replace but not at this cost.
A more bare bones approach would be suitable. I do not believe we need a top of the
line golf facility at this time. I no longer golf
but I enjoyed it in my younger days. A beer
or two after a round of golf was all I needed.
– Daniel J McCoy, Lake Monticello
Reality bites
Re; Fluvanna Review, June 4. Enough is
enough! “What a common board promises or assures is not binding.” The board
is legally bound to follow the dictates of
a membership vote. “There are better solutions to funding....” Donations (deep
pockets), capital fund raising (yard sales?)
one-time assessment (it was turned down
in the member survey) borrowing money
from the bank (at higher interest?) sell or
lease campground (to whom?) are all mentioned as possible solutions to raise $2-3
million (yes, million!) dollars.
Reality bites!
– Barbara Senig, Lake Monticello
Delay costly
Some letters in the June 4 issue of the Fluvanna Review suggested Lake Monticello Owners’
Association members vote no on the proposal
to replace and renovate LMOA amenities. Two
letters also argue to delay the program.
One letter suggested delay in the belief
that better funding options are available.
Options suggested were (1) donations (2) a
capital fund raising program (3) sell or lease
the campground (4) a one-time assessment and (5) borrow from the bank. None
of these are reasons to delay. The projects
will take several years to complete. There
is nothing in the proposal which would
preclude implementing one or all of these
options if further study proves them advantageous. The proposal requests approval
to use reserve funds – it does not direct
the Board to use them. A yes vote on the
proposal will allow both progress on the
program and consideration of the suggested funding options
Another letter suggested delay for “answers
needed first.” It posed questions about
funding maintenance and operation of the
improved amenities. The questions may
have been written before the proposal was
released, because the proposal itself answers
these questions. It points out that part of the
dues increase will be applied to these costs.
There is no need to delay the major decision
while those topics receive further discussion.
If we delay, the cost of whatever we do is
going up about 3 percent every year. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, inflation has increased the Consumer Price Index
more than 40 percent since the reserve fund
was established in 1999. The purchasing
power of the fund is decreasing proportionally. Delay of the decision is costly. A yes vote
supports all the advantages of the program
in a cost effective manner.

Unrealistic concern over
proposal
I commend the present Board for the foresight and courage it has to finally acknowledge, study and formulate a plan to improve
out amenities. The results of the plan had
the input of the membership (through
surveys and town halls) and the guidance
of volunteers who spent countless hours
planning and researching these proposed
projects. Have the naysayers tuned out all
that has been discussed? Apparently since
various financing options (donations, capital
fund raising, campground sale, assessment,
bank loan) were dissected and found not to
be in the best interest of the Lake Monticello
Owners’ Association members.
When moving to the Lake, everyone was
aware of the amenities and as these age, they
must be improved to maintain the viability
and health of our community, just as one
would make improvements on one’s home.
The time for this is now since previous
Boards did not have the courage to tackle
the elephant in the room and who knows
what the future will bring. Vote yes!
– Lisa Conboy, Palmyra
Where were you?
Where were all these vote no people and
99 Group during the past 10 months when
the R & R project was being formulated? Did
they attend any of the meetings held by the
different groups which helped form this final
proposal? Groups called Communications,
Financial, Survey and Renovation and Replacement met regularly and the times, days
and meeting rooms were listed on the Lake
Monticello Owners’ Association calendar
and Friday Flyer weekly. All were welcome
to come and sit in on any of these meetings. I attended as many meetings as I could
and was very impressed with the amount of
dedication shown by all these committee
members. They worked long hours and attended many meetings during the months of
planning and did so much research developing the best plan to go forward.
Now that all the research and surveys
have been finished and a final plan and
design has been finalized and ready to be
presented to the members this no group
and 99 group have stepped forward with
the idea to stop this project and listen to
them. They think they have a better plan.
So many of their suggestions have already
been discussed in committee and decided
they would not be feasible. Some in this
group say there is no emergency. These
were the same people who in May of 2014
wanted to close down the golf building and
Eagles Nest because the building was too
dangerous and a liability.
The renovation and replacement of our
buildings are long overdue. Please remember
that a yes vote will also help the 5-year plan
for our playgrounds. Vote yes on your ballot.
– Lucille Braithwaite, Palmyra
Lake dues low
Current Lake Monticello Owners’ Association dues are insufficient to cover expenses and are significantly lower than other
home owners’ association communities. A
2014 yearly HOA dues comparisons (most
without similar amenities) based on our
research: $843 Lake Monticello, ($693 +
$150 improved property fee); $1,314 Lake
of the Woods, Locust Grove; $1,920 Spring
Creek, Gordonsville; $1,200, Oak Village
across from main gate; $1,200 Broken
Island, Rt. 600 between Riverside and Slice
gates; and $900 Sycamore Square, behind
CVS. Our current facilities are in deplorable
condition and do not meet current regulations. Our property values are currently
limited due to the condition of our facilities.
We believe community members desire
and deserve more and better facilities including increased meeting rooms, increased
space flexibility and fine and casual dining.
The proposal to renovate Ashlawn clubhouse to meet current standards, build the
Bunker Recreation Center with improved and
increased facilities, increased space utilization, increased staff safety, and add meeting
room flexibility will address our needs.
Our conclusion is to vote yes to maintain
and increase the value of the LMOA community and your property.
– Carol and Tom Brown, Lake Monticello
Kudos to Lake Board
On May 31, Lake Monticello Owners’ Association Board of Directors held its final
town hall on the Renovation & Replacement
(R&R) proposal to answer questions and
refute misinformation on this important
Lake Monticello initiative. The town hall was
very spirited and informative with attendees
on both sides of the debate asking relevant,
detailed questions of the board members. I
write mainly to commend and congratulate
the seven board members who, with vital
input from lake residents, drafted this comprehensive R&R that is many years overdue.
In the nine and one-half years that we have
owned a home at the lake, this is without
a doubt the best, most experienced, knowledgeable, and skilled group of lake directors
that we have had the pleasure to work with
and get to know.
I do take exception to a few comments
directed at members stating that there is
a cabal of self interested golfers and midlevel government bureaucrats whose only
concern is preserving the golf facility and
nothing else. Moreover, there are a number
of former board members who had their
opportunity to come up with a sensible plan
but now want to delay or incrementally
implement a perceived better plan. Where
was their proposal to fix these neglected
buildings when they led the board? They
recently published a flier “A Better Plan...”
that was refuted at the town hall. Let’s
leave Lake Monticello a better place than
we found it not only for ourselves, our kids,
our neighbors, but also for our friends and
visitors for years to come. When is the last
time we saw a 7 to 0 consensus on any initiative at Lake Monticello? The board did
their part, and now we the residents need
to do our part. I encourage you to vote yes.

Thumbs up to directors
Our present Board of Directors have
worked extremely hard on the proposed
R & R project and has presented an option
that is long overdue and represents a
needed boost that our wonderful community needs to prosper in the future.
The end result regarding the proposed
plan represents an incredible amount of
input from the entire community in the
form of surveys, town hall meetings, input
from local realtors, and of course endless
hours of hard work on the part of our Board.
The sad condition of our amenities did
not happen overnight and obviously was
not addressed adequately by former Boards.
I commend our present Board for taking on
this long overdue problem in an attempt to
make Lake Monticello an even better place to
live. We have an opportunity to improve our
quality of life and present an upgraded community that we are all proud to call home.
It disappoints me that former members
of the Board in leadership positions have
chosen not to support this project. They cer-

BY CHRISTINA DIMEO GUSEMAN, CORRESPONDENT
Should Fluvanna County invest in a commercial kitchen for the Fluvanna Community
Center in Fork Union? Would it be a smart
money-making investment or simply another
expenditure for a debt-ridden county?
The Board of Supervisors debated this
question at its meeting Wednesday afternoon (June 3). Back in the spring, installing
a commercial kitchen for Fluvanna’s Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE) came close
to making the cut for the fiscal year 2016
budget but ultimately fell by the wayside in
a difficult budget year.
But a time-sensitive opportunity to buy
some used kitchen equipment at close to half
price led extension agent John Thompson to
resurrect the question to supervisors Wednesday afternoon. “It’s up to you whether or not
to seize this opportunity,” he told them.
Having a commercial kitchen would
bring benefits to the county, said Thompson. It would function as a teaching kitchen
for VCE but also as rentable space for the
county’s various food-related businesses
that must by law use a commercial kitchen
to prepare their products.
Naming some of those businesses, Thompson said that each has “overcome the hurdle
of a commercial kitchen because they had
to,” some by renting commercial kitchens
in places as far away as Farmville and some
by biting the bullet and investing in a commercial kitchen of their own. “If we could
provide that middle ground, so that they
could rent for a time period, develop their
pocketbooks so that they could afford a commercial kitchen if they wanted to on their
own facility, then that would be a honey spot
for the local county government to be able
to generate revenue [and] provide something
for the local agribusiness industry.”
Thompson looked around the state at
similar facilities and said the average hourly
rental rate for a commercial kitchen like the
one he was envisioning is $33. Renting the
kitchen to a business or an event for only
four hours a week – a conservative estimate – would yield close to $7,000 per year,
which could help mitigate the investment
required to install the kitchen.
The drawbacks of a commercial kitchen
include the cost, said Thompson, who estimated the price tag at about $32,000 plus
another $5,000 for the used equipment
currently on sale. Upkeep on equipment
would also be a factor.
Thompson said he may be able to secure
donations or grants to cover part of the
cost, but that at least one potential donor
was waiting to see whether supervisors
rallied behind the idea with funding.
“I can’t promise you results,” said Thompson, who didn’t make any claims about
whether the kitchen would end up paying
for itself through rental fees. “What I can
promise you is that the facility would be
used by us for educational programming,
and what I can guarantee you is there’s a
lot of interest in this type of business in this
region… There is opportunity here.”
There is a kitchen in the Fluvanna Community Center right now, though it is not
comparable to a new commercial kitchen.
And when it fills up with different groups,
Thompson said, “you realize that the space
could be much better… A kitchen, in a house
or in a business, is the heart of what’s going
on. And we’re working on a really little heart
in a really big building. We’ve got lots of opportunity and I think we need to seize that.”
A few years ago, supervisors gave the
economic development authority (EDA)
$35,000 to distribute as microloans to small
businesses. Since no one has applied for
the microloans, County Administrator Steve
Nichols said the EDA may end up returning
the money to the county. That money could
potentially pay for the commercial kitchen.
“I have no doubt that this commercial
kitchen will be a success,” said Chairperson Mozell Booker. “I support [spending]
this amount.”
“If you’re trying to provide a pathway for
entrepreneurs and promoting agribusiness as
one of the things that Fluvanna has to offer,
it seems to me that this is very reasonable,”
said Supervisor Tony O’Brien, who called the
kitchen “a conservative, low-risk investment
that would benefit our community.”
However, O’Brien said, he was very aware
of the agreements made during budget
season amongst supervisors, who ultimately voted unanimously on a budget and tax
rate for the first time in recent memory.
And in that agreement a VCE commercial
kitchen didn’t make the cut. For that reason,
he said, he was reluctant to push the idea.
“I’m bothered by it,” said Supervisor Don
Weaver. “I’m bothered by the way it’s gone
about and the way it’s being presented. I
don’t think anything’s wrong with what Mr.
Thompson’s doing – but we did have an
understanding. And I feel as if that’s being
circumvented, and it disturbs me.”
Referencing the $35,000 potentially
being returned by the EDA, Weaver said,
“What always amazes me is how government can find the extra money… The
shape this year’s budget is in, I think every
Board member knows that it was stretched
to the limits, and we took things off and put
it into the future that we probably shouldn’t
have. And here the inference is, well, we
have $35,000… As far as I’m concerned, a
deal is a deal.”
“That’s why…I’m very hesitant on
making a motion about this,” said O’Brien.

tainly had their chance to address this issue
during their tenure but apparently didn’t
have either the interest or drive to allow the
lake to reach its full potential as a community. I certainly appreciated their willingness
to serve on the Board but we should not
mistake activity for achievement.
Since its inception, Lake Monticello has
been marketed as an amenity community
as the lake and golf course were here well
before 99 percent of our present homes.
Somewhere along the line our community has lost sight of our purpose. We have
an opportunity to turn our outdated and
rundown facilities into modern and attractive venues. New dining opportunities, playground areas, and improved recreation and
meeting spaces are just a yes vote away for
a better quality of life at the lake.

John Gooch, 54, told the Fluvanna Review
on June 4 that he is officially a candidate for
the Palmyra district seat on the Fluvanna
County Board of Supervisors.
The seat is being vacated by current
Palmyra supervisor Bob Ullenbruch, who is
not seeking re-election.
“I have a very strong sense of community,” Gooch said. “I want to make sure that I
don’t just represent the Palmyra district but
that I represent the entire county.”
Gooch was the Palmyra district supervisor from 2008 to 2011. He was defeated in
his re-election campaign by Ullenbruch.
For the 12 years prior to his tenure on the
Board of Supervisors, Gooch served on the
Fluvanna County School Board.
“I very much support emergency services, the school system, and county staff,”
Gooch told the Review. “We definitely need
to get some economic development in the
county. Everybody keeps saying we need to
do it. We need to put a concerted effort into
making that happen.”
Gooch is in favor of the James River Water
Authority water line project that will withdraw water from the James River in Columbia and pipe it to a station near Rt. 6. He also
supports bringing water to Zion Crossroads.
“We’re moving back in that direction and
hopefully that will move forward,” he said.
In fact, bringing water to Zion Crossroads
is going to be one of his major goals for his
time on the Board if he is elected, he said. He
Photo courtesy of John Gooch
also wants to “work on economic development.”
Born in Charlottesville, Gooch moved to
Fluvanna when he was five years old. He
works as an estimator for Fielder’s Choice
Enterprises. Gooch and his wife Andileen
have two grown children.
When asked why Palmyra voters should
choose him, Gooch said, “I feel like I’ll be
very responsible. I can work well with other
people. My engineering background would
be helpful in moving some of the water lines
forward. I owned my own business for 15
years so I’d lend that experience as well.”
Patricia Eager has told the Review that
she plans to run for Palmyra district supervisor. The winner of the Nov. 3 election will
serve a four-year term.

Eager pursues Palmyra
supervisor seat
Patricia Eager, 65, told the Fluvanna Review
on Monday, June 8, that she has filed her
papers to run for the Palmyra district seat on
the Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors.
The seat is being vacated by current
Palmyra supervisor Bob Ullenbruch, who is
not seeking re-election.
“Our community has been divided and
I’d like to see us come together as neighbors,” Eager said.
Eager has been on the Fluvanna County
Planning Commission for 20 years. She has
also served on the Board of Zoning Appeals
for two years.
“Our community has had differences over
whether the new high school should have
been built, and that shouldn’t be,” Eager
told the Review. “We need to educate our
children. I’d like to see our children have an
excellent education, but at the same time
we need to take care of the whole county.”
Eager said the “main concern” of people
she met while collecting signatures on her
petition to run for office was the county’s
increased taxes. “I think we have to strike a
delicate balance,” she said. “The comprehensive plan says that one of our main goals is to
remain rural. But on the other hand we really
do need businesses to increase our tax base
and offset the taxes on the homeowners.”
If elected, Eager wants to “work together
to keep our taxes at a responsible level so
that people, young and old, can continue to
live in Fluvanna.”
Born in Pennsylvania, Eager grew up in
Ohio, lived in New York for 15 years, and
moved to Fluvanna in 1984. She and her
husband Minor have been farmers for 35
years. They have four grown children.
“I’ve been a dedicated public servant
for 20 years,” Eager said when asked why
Palmyra voters should choose her. “I really
like living here and I think other people
would like to live here. And in order to do
that we have to make it a livable community, where people can afford it and have
excellent education for their children.”
John Gooch is also running for Palmyra
district supervisor. The winner of the Nov. 3
election will serve a four-year term.

Four candidates vie for two Lake director spots
Stephanie Davis
Charles Harrelson
James Gerling
Though Lake Monticello’s controversial proposed renovation and replacement (R&R) project has gotten much attention recently, the community will also
vote this month to select new leadership
on the Lake Monticello Owners’ Association (LMOA) Board of Directors.
Four candidates – Stephanie Davis,
James Gerling, Charles Harrelson, and
Jan Shattls – are vying for two spots on
the seven-member Board. One slot exists
because Harrelson’s three-year term is
up. The other is being vacated by Cole
Hunter, who was appointed last year to
fill the unexpired term of Richard Cummings.
The proposed $7.2 million R&R
project, also up for vote, would make
improvements to LMOA facilities, most
notably renovating the Ashlawn Clubhouse, demolishing the Eagle’s Nest pro
shop building, and constructing a new
Bunker Recreation Center. The project
would be paid for by $3.8 million from
the community’s emergency reserve
account (ERA), a $2 million loan from
the ERA repaid over 15 years, and existing funds. It would also require a $95
dues increase, raising member dues from
$693 to $788. All homeowners also pay

so they may enter the

The Fluvanna Review
asked the candidates to
answer five questions.
Why do you want
to serve on the
LMOA Board of Directors? What do
you have to offer
the community?
Stephanie Davis:
No longer working
full time, I have both
the time and desire to
invest in enhancing
our LMOA environment.
Throughout
my federal career I
awarded and administered complex mulJan Shattls timillion dollar contracts. I also served
as a mentor to small
businesses, assisting them in developing
better business practices. I used my business skills while serving as president of
a homeowners’ association in Illinois to
improve the manner in which they did
business and to protect their assets.
James Gerling: I want the opportunity to be a part of the management and
decision-making process for the service
and overall good to the Lake Monticello
community. Others have come before
me and made decisions to support and
guide the community to thrive. Now I
feel it is my turn to help carry the load
and be a part of the decision-making
process. I want to give, to pay back, and
to pay forward into the future.
Charles Harrelson: I have been on
the LMOA Board for the past three years.
I believe I have listened to the membership and not just the most vocal. The
past year has been the most enjoyable as
we have accomplished much, including
the R&R proposal. When this proposal
passes I would like to be a part of the
process to see it come to fruition.
Jan Shattls: I want to serve on the
Board because we finally have a proactive not reactive Board and I would like
to see that continue. Too often whatever
one Board has done, the next Board dismantles. I have always taught my children that if you want to see a change,
you have to be the change.
What is your position on the
R&R proposal?
Jan Shattls: I am for the project. For
me the most important part is voting to
use the principal from the ERA to finance
the project. The repayment proposal will
set up a revenue stream that the Board
can use to fund future projects without
needing them to be put to a community vote. You can see how difficult this
process is, and the larger the community
grows, the more difficult it will become.
Stephanie Davis: Our common areas
have not been properly maintained. An
ADA [Americans with Disabilities Act]
patch is not acceptable. LMOA must
learn from its dam experience where
the sub vouched for payment due the
prime. LMOA’s architect and the proposed at-risk contractor have a similar
business relationship. A project as large
as the R&R requires an independent professional to ensure work is completed
properly. Homeowners must decide if
spending $3.35 million on construction
at Bunker is worth getting updates of
$1.8 million at Ashlawn.
James Gerling: I support the proposal.
Studies have determined that the Ashlawn
clubhouse is outdated and needs to be upgraded. The upgrades may be expensive
but need to be done for ADA compliance.
The Eagle’s Nest pro shop building needs
expensive renovations and upgrades and
may have outlived its useful economic
life. The solution is to build a new Bunker
Recreation Center from the ground up
and provide the necessary clubhouse renovations and upgrades.
Charles Harrelson: Being one of
the seven LMOA Board members to vote
unanimously to present the proposal
was great. A lot of work has been done
to provide as much bang-for-the-buck
as possible. None of us completely got
our way and I hope that our membership also supports with a positive vote.
So what is my position? Vote yes.
What goals do you have for LMOA
that could be accomplished within the
three years of your term of office?
Charles Harrelson: Our general
manager has been with us for three
years. She has had to direct much of her
attention to repairs on both of our dams
and changing personnel needs. I would
like to see the Board work with her to
determine what type of staff and training are needed to carry us into the future.
Specifically, I would like for us to add a
recreation/activities director to put together more programs for our youth.
Jan Shattls: I would like to see a
program/recreational director hired to
implement and coordinate various programs. Maybe a future summer recreation program?
Stephanie Davis: Improve outreach to
and interaction with residents. If an R&R
yes vote prevails, waive annual 3 percent
increase. If the vote is no, move administration staff to a new space adjacent to
Ashlawn, revitalize the restaurant, expand
meeting space and meet the needs of a
facility at Bunker. Improve business practices used by LMOA. Ensure we get what
we pay for and on a timely basis. Actively
monitor the condition of common assets
– keep areas in good repair.
James Gerling: I want to insure that
a new five year reserve study is done
and that proper allocation of funds; and
maintenance is adhered to and done to
the LMOA’s capital assets and amenities.
I want to set up a database to input all
of LMOA’s capital assets and amenities so
that all maintenance and expenditures
can be properly tracked and explained to
the community and be transparent.
What sort of leader will you be?
James Gerling: I will be a collaborative type of leader, working with the
other Board members, committees, the
general manager, and listening to the
community and serving its interests and
needs as best as possible.
Charles Harrelson: My training is
in sales and marketing. I see my role as
listening to ideas (some of my own) and
helping to implement.
Jan Shattls: I hope to be the kind of
leader who will spark others’ enthusiasm and participation. If everyone does a
little there is no great burden on anyone.
The people of our community are our
greatest resource and they have been
underutilized.
Stephanie Davis: I would like to
follow in the footsteps of radio personality Paul Harvey (The Rest of the Story),
who always looked for both sides of the
story before deciding an issue. I hope to
increase the common ground shared by
our residents.
Why should Lake residents
vote for you?
Stephanie Davis: My good business
practices will strengthen LMOA’s financial standing. In Illinois I oversaw dayto-day activities of staff and professional
service providers and the condition of
our association facilities and grounds.
We had a community that people with
very diverse backgrounds were proud to
call home. I worked closely with city officials. Here in Fluvanna I have completed the county’s leadership development
program. My skills and lessons learned
will benefit residents of Lake Monticello.
James Gerling: I bring a keen business sense, level of maturity, a proven
track record, and a Master’s degree in
business administration. I served on the
Board of Directors for a condo association in Alexandria for over 10 years and
have experience in the process of adopting and enforcing policies; in budgetmaking; and in retaining responsible
management to carry out day-to-day operations. With my background and experience I am and will be a valuable asset
to the Board and the LMOA community.
Charles Harrelson: I understand the
role of a Board member, having worked
with different boards over the past
three years. LMOA’s demographics have
changed to a community of all ages. We
are close to build-out and with our dues
structure on a per-lot basis, our income
remains somewhat flat with the Board
limited to a maximum adjustment of 3
percent per year. I want Lake Monticello
be an exceptional place for all to live and
to make sure it remains a safe community.
Jan Shattls: Lake residents who are
forward-thinking and want a vibrant,
robust community rather than a stagnant one, should vote for me. I believe
in getting the best at the best price. That
is ultimately the most cost-effective way.
Cheap is, in the long run, very expensive. Not all new ideas are about money,
however. I would like to see more thought
put into how those can be implemented.
LMOA members can vote online at
lmoavoice.org or mail paper ballots any
time from now till June 22 at 5 p.m. Paper
ballots must be postmarked by that deadline. Members may also vote in person at
the annual meeting held Saturday, June 27
at the clubhouse.

The school year was over and graduation ceremonies had been held. Nonetheless, a large crowd gathered on June
2 to honor the top Fluco athletes who
performed with excellence in the spring
sports season. With Activities Director
Scott Morris as the emcee, coach after
coach took the microphone to announce
their standout performers to the crowd
of athletes and relatives.
The track and field teams had very successful seasons. Coach Steven Szarmach,

Girls’ softball
Flucos fall in semi-finals
BY DUNCAN NIXON, CORRESPONDENT
After two rain-outs, the Fluco softball
team finally was able to host the undefeated Carroll County Golden Cavaliers
on Friday, June 5. This semi-final battle
was a classic pitchers’ duel.
In the first six innings, both teams
managed a single baserunner. Fluco
pitcher Annaliese Kennedy surrendered
a single in the second inning and retired
all of the other 18 batters she faced in
the first six innings. Kennedy struck out
seven in the first six innings and when
the Golden Cavaliers did get their bats
on the ball they went down on routine
ground outs and fly balls.
Unfortunately for the Flucos they were
facing a pitcher just as overpowering
as Kennedy. In the first six innings the
Flucos managed only a walk. Their baserunner was cut down trying to steal,
so the Flucos batted the minimum in
the first six innings. Needless to say,
the tension was mounting with every
passing inning.
In the top of the seventh inning, Carroll
County took the game from the Flucos.
After an out, two solid singles created
the first scoring threat of the game. The
next batter squibbed a ball just past
Kennedy. The batter beat the throw to
first and ball went past the first baseman
and two runners scored. Another single
made it 3-0.
The Flucos came up with their only hit
Pitcher Annaleise Kennedy on the mound. Photo by Deborah Nixon
in the bottom of the seventh when senior
centerfielder Tiffani Shaheen bunted for
a hit. Shaheen, the Flucos lead-off batter,
can fly down the line and as a lefty batter
she is very hard to throw out on bunts.
Senior left fielder Kiersten Allen also
bunted and was thrown out, but Shaheen
made it around to third. A strike out and
a ground out followed and the game and
the season were over.
In the Regional quarter-final game the
Flucos hosted the Sherando High School
Warriors on June 1. The Flucos scored
early with one in the first and three in
the second inning. They added two more
in the fourth. Sherando broke through
with two in the top of the sixth. After
a rain delay, the Flucos added four in
the bottom of the sixth for a 10-2 win.
Kennedy pitched the win. Sophomore
first baseman Sophie Kershner boomed
a home run in the second inning and
senior shortstop Alexis Scott doubled in
the fourth.
The Flucos finished the year with an
impressive 20-4 record. Coach Aime
McCall noted that this team set goals
for itself at the start of the season and
went on to exceed its goals, going into
uncharted territory by making it to the
Regional semi-finals. Although this was a
veteran squad with a number of seniors
contributing, and with Kennedy leaving
early, McCall still believes that the future
is promising for Fluco softball. She noted
that the JV team was quite successful and
she hopes that this team has established
a culture of winning in the sport.
Softball pitcher Annaleise Kennedy
signed a letter of intent
on Monday, June 1, to play Division 1
softball at Appalachian State University after
her junior year in high school. Top students
sometimes earn enough credits to graduate high school early or to start college with
some college credits under their belt. Kennedy
says she is not at the very top of her class, but
she has been doing well and taking high level
courses, so with a couple of summer school
classes, she will be able to move on to college
a year early. Kennedy is the first, but probably
not the last, athlete to leave Fluvanna County
High early.
Kennedy pitched the Flucos to a very impressive 20-4 record this year, as the Flucos
easily won the Conference 23 post-season
conference. Kennedy fired a five inning nohitter in the quarterfinals of that tournament. At
the signing ceremony, Kennedy was accompanied by her mother and her stepfather, Angela
Kennedy and Christopher Burckhead.

Sheriff ’s office
launches reserve
deputy program
Twelve area residents gathered Tuesday
evening (June 2) to join the Fluvanna County
sheriff’s office reserve deputy program.
Volunteer reserve deputies are trained to
perform certain duties to assist the sheriff’s
staff. They give the office more manpower
and can allow paid staff to concentrate on
more specialized tasks.
Sheriff Eric Hess said that the Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS)
has three levels for auxiliary police officers: level one, which is a certified police
officer meeting all the requirements of paid
officers; level two, which is an officer with
limited duties equivalent to a bailiff; and
level three, which is an unarmed officer
who could help with duties such as directing traffic. Those who complete this reserve
deputy program will emerge as level two officers, Hess said, after they complete a supplemental week’s course that by law must
be taught by the DCJS.
The in-depth program holds classes two
evenings a week and two full Saturdays a
month through Aug. 1, and teaches the
“exact same lesson plans that were taught
at the academy,” Hess said. All the instructors come from the Fluvanna sheriff’s office
and are DCJS-certified.
Topics covered in the reserve deputy
program include Virginia law, first aid and
CPR, patrol techniques, firearms training, traffic training, use of force, defensive
tactics, use of baton and chemical sprays,
arrest procedures, cultural diversity, basic
investigation skills, and driving.
“The point of having the reserve deputy
program is two-fold,” Hess said. “One is for
people to help us. The other is for those who
may not necessarily want a career in law enforcement but want to help, such as retired
folks, or for younger people who may want
to start a career in law enforcement.”
In fact, the sheriff’s office has two parttime bailiff slots open that graduates from
this course could fill, said Hess, who noted
that he would be pleased to see new employees rise from the ranks of the reserve
deputy program.
“Tonight each candidate embarks on an
exciting journey toward a career in law enforcement,” Hess told those who attended
Tuesday’s program, according to a press
release. “If you persevere and complete
your training, you will serve our community as a sworn law enforcement deputy
providing our office with the expertise and
manpower needed to augment our fulltime staff.”
Reserve deputy candidates must attend
all in-service training, volunteer at least
10 hours per month, and purchase their
own uniforms and equipment, said Captain
Thomas Brennan.
“Volunteers are our heroes because
through your commitment and support we
can get the job done,” Captain Von Hill told
the group. “Volunteering time and talent
speaks volumes of your character and we’re
honored to have you as part of our team.”
Supervisors from page 7
“That’s the problem with government,
though; that’s what I’m saying,” said
Weaver. “Here’s another pot. We don’t think
about where we really probably need it.
And that is – how about all those items that
we took away off of this year’s budget that
we probably really needed? Do we need
[the kitchen] more than [those items]? I
don’t know… I’m not against what you’re
saying or doing – I think it is good. But everybody wants something.”
Once grants, donations, and rental fees
come in the amount of money spent could
be smaller than the initial $32,000 to
$37,000 figure. “This isn’t going to bankrupt us,” Weaver acknowledged, “but that’s
where it starts. It starts with a grain of sand
and it builds up.”
“One, you have an opportunity to buy some
equipment at a deep discount,” said O’Brien,
“and two, you have other people waiting on
us to show some commitment as to whether
they move forward [with donations].”
Supervisors agreed to revisit the question
at their June 17 meeting.
Absent from the meeting was Supervisor
Bob Ullenbruch, who was attending to an
emergency in Connecticut.

Hearing examiner
recommends
denial of Aqua
service charge
March 10.
Hearing examiner Skirpan analyzed
a significant amount of testimony for
and against the service charge, including such written and verbal comments,
before making up his mind. “I find that
the petitioners failed to prove the need
for the proposed rules and recommend
that the commission deny this petition,”
he wrote.
Participants have 21 days to file comments supporting or opposing Skirpan’s
recommendation. The SCC will then
analyze all the information, including
the hearing examiner’s ruling, and make
its final decision.
If a service charge is adopted over his
recommendation, Skirpan proposed
capping it at 5 percent of the annual revenues for each customer class. “I find
that a cap on the WWISC rider would
provide some assurance to customers
that it will remain a small percentage of
the total customer bill and not become
the cost recovery mechanism of choice
for utilities,” he wrote.
The SCC’s final decision could take eight
to 12 weeks, said Ann Neil Cosby, county
attorney for Caroline County, a locality also
affected by the proposed service charge.
“This is definitely a positive step forward,”
she said, “but not the end of the matter. We
still have work to do.”
Frank Buck, attorney for LMOA, would
not speak to the Fluvanna Review.
“This is wonderful news,” said Marlene
Weaver, LMOA Board president. “Kudos
and thanks to the community members
that put efforts into helping this along to
make it happen.”
Becker and Aqua spokesperson Gretchen Toner were unable to comment before
press time.
Alexander F. Skirpan, Jr., senior hearing
examiner for the State Corporation Commission (SCC), filed a report yesterday (June
8) recommending total denial of the request
made by Aqua Virginia and other water
companies to establish rules under which
they could seek a water and wastewater infrastructure service charge (WWISC).
“Based on the record in this case, I find
that the petitioners have failed to prove
sufficient need for the proposed rules,”
Skirpan wrote in his ruling, which is not
yet publicly available on the SCC website.
“There is little, if any, evidence that water
and wastewater utilities will be unable to
address aging infrastructure concerns
through the existing ratemaking process.
Indeed, both of the petitioners’ witnesses acknowledged that the current
ratemaking process permits accelerated
infrastructure replacement.”
Aqua Virginia joined with other water
companies to petition the SCC to establish rules that would allow them to seek
a WWISC, or an additional fee on top of
customers’ monthly water and sewer
charges, that would directly fund infrastructure projects. Shannon V. Becker,
Aqua Virginia president, explained that
having a service charge would allow Aqua
to replace critical infrastructure more
quickly and to save money in the process.
Mike Harrison, a member of the Lake
Monticello Owners’ Association (LMOA)
Board of Directors, countered that Aqua’s
rate structure already includes infrastructure and an additional charge would be
“double-dipping” customers.
This case, along with Aqua Virginia’s
pending request to raise water rates by 8
to 21 percent and sewer rates by 4 to 13
percent, garnered a significant amount
of local attention. Residents of Fluvanna and other localities submitted many
comments to the SCC in opposition to
the service charge and some spoke at a
hearing on the matter in Richmond on

Rescue services leap
forward with solutions
Six months after rescue services in Fluvanna County were declared to be in a state
of crisis, Emergency Services Coordinator
Cheryl Elliot, the Fluvanna Fire & Rescue
Association (FRA), and the Board of Supervisors (BOS) have found solutions.
Sitting down together Wednesday night
(June 3), they hashed out a nine-step shortterm plan for rescue services that covers the
next 18 to 24 months. They also established
a four-step long-term plan that includes an
unprecedented action: hiring a Fluvanna
County fire and rescue chief.
Last December when members of the
FRA sat down with county staff and supervisors, they warned that Fluvanna County,
as distinguished from the area served by the
Lake Monticello Volunteer Rescue Squad,
did not have adequate rescue coverage.
Because of the seriousness of the situation,
supervisors voted to hire a second contract
crew from the University of Virginia (U.Va.)
to cover night as well as day shift. Supervisors tasked the FRA with creating a solution
Starting your own business can be challenging,
but it does not have to be!
Already have a business, are you looking to
grow your current level of success?
Come and join The Community
Investment Collaborative (CIC)
for their Fall 2015 Entrepreneur
Workshop
As an advocate for the growth of small business
owners, CIC’s 17 week entrepreneurial education
program can assist you with the tools that you need
to know about starting a small business which
includes how to market and manage it. We utilize
your business idea in the curriculum and apply
real world business strategies from our volunteers,
many who are successful entrepreneurs as well,
case studies and forms designed to help you develop your own strategies. By the end of the workshop, you will be well-informed about the resources that are available to you and the steps involved
in launching a successful business. Graduates from
the program are eligible to be paired with mentors
in the local business community and are eligible
to apply for micro-loans with CIC to help finance
their business. Our goal is to provide practical, easy
to implement tools in an efficient and welcoming
workshop environment.

to the rescue crisis behind which its all-volunteer members would rally.
But when the FRA and supervisors met
again in January the FRA had not been able
to agree on a way forward. Len Bozza, president of Lake Monticello Volunteer Fire Department & Rescue Squad, told the Board
then that the FRA was simply “unable” to
reach a consensus.
So the solutions agreed upon at Wednesday night’s meeting mark a leap forward for
rescue plans in Fluvanna County.
Elliott began the work session by telling
the Board that throughout many discussions about the future of rescue in Fluvanna, the concern emerges that with the
decline of volunteerism across the country,
Fluvanna may not be able to summon
enough volunteers for a volunteer or even
part-volunteer rescue squad. If this does
prove to be the case, she said, eventually
Fluvanna may have to create a county department and hire a county rescue chief
who would oversee the transition and help
to create policies.
Fluvanna has been able to sustain “wonderful volunteer effort” for longer than surrounding counties, said County Administrator Steve Nichols, and so therefore is behind
the curve in deciding upon a way forward in
the blended world of part-volunteer, partpaid rescue personnel. There needs to be
some corporate help for Fluvanna Rescue,
he said, so that someone can write reports
and complete other administrative tasks so
that volunteers can still run calls.
Supervisor Tony O’Brien commented
that the dynamic of having a paid contingent within a group of volunteers can be
“tenuous.” He thought it was “pretty inevitable” that the volunteer component would
“evaporate” in a short time if the county
began paying some members of the squad.
Joe Orsolini, chief of Lake Monticello Volunteer Rescue Squad, said that he thought it
could be done if the system were built “correctly and positively,” by “solicit[ing] the
input from volunteers and really work[ing]
with the people that use the system the
most, which right now is the volunteers,
[who] can help guide and direct you.”
Chairperson Mozell Booker then set the conversation on a goal-oriented path by saying, “I
would like for us to leave here tonight with
something we can say is going to occur.”
Scott Carpenter, chief of Lake Monticello
Fire Department and president of FRA, said
that it was really up to Fluvanna Rescue to
decide whether it is “willing to change.”
And then it is up to the county, he said,
to determine whether Fluvanna Rescue’s
willingness or unwillingness to change is
acceptable. “There have been so many circular concerns about this issue,” he said.
“Last fire and rescue meeting I swear I just
wanted to put my head through a wall. I’m
frustrated. I’m over this. Somebody needs
to make a good and appropriate decision.”
And during the course of the meeting, they
did. First they decided to maintain current
operations with two U.Va. contract crews plus
Fluvanna Rescue volunteers running calls
two to four nights a month. Fluvanna Rescue
also agreed to coordinate with the county in a
campaign to find volunteers to fill administrative rolls within the organization.
Elliott had suggested closing the rescue
stations in Kents Store and in Fork Union
due to a lack of volunteers to staff them.
Crystal Mayo, captain of Fluvanna Rescue,
said that her squad would like to keep both
Palmyra and Kents Store open, but agreed
to “mothballing” or selling Fork Union. As a
part of this process, the Palmyra and Kents
Store stations will be renovated.
They also agreed to sell the county’s fifth
ambulance, maintaining four for rescue use.
They will realign first due maps, or the areas
to which the different stations respond, to
better utilize resources. Beefing up the corporate structure of Fluvanna Rescue may
make it easier to achieve another step in the
plan, which is to implement a “robust, realistic volunteer recruitment and retention
program.” Nichols asked for retention-related budget proposals for fiscal year 2017.
In the long-term the group threw their
support behind hiring a fire and rescue
chief – not just a rescue chief – for Fluvanna
County. But that led to some questions from
Nichols. “What is that fire and rescue chief
going to do when you don’t agree with him?”
he asked. “Who’s going to be in charge?
Lake? Fluvanna Fire? Fluvanna Rescue? He
or she’s going to be telling people what to
do. How about the corporate boards?”
“He’s going to lead us through this transition,” replied Andrew Pullen, Kents Store
fire chief. “That’s what we need. All of us
are never going to see eye to eye.”
“You’re right,” said Nichols. “But you’re
not going to see eye to eye when we hire
somebody either.”
Pullen replied that the chief would be in
charge. “The fire and rescue chief fills the
current need… to start the transition, to
start collaboration,” agreed Carpenter. “I
think that the discussions about the rescue
squad have shed light on the fact that yes,
we will never [agree].”
Hiring the fire and rescue chief is step
one of the long-term plan. That chief would
work on steps two and three, which are
creating a new county department and obtaining a county emergency medical services license for fiscal year 2017 or 2018.
The fourth step of the plan is allowing Lake
Monticello Rescue to remain intact for as
long as volunteers are available.
Because he thinks the volunteer situation
is “only going to get worse,” Pullen said he
was eager to see the new fire and rescue
chief come on board. “Look at how much
the system has changed in 24 months,” he
said. Though right now his company has
adequate firefighters, “in 24 more months
we may be back here saying we need firefighters bad. We don’t know.”
Nichols asked Elliott and the FRA to
“massage” the plans before December so
that any financial implications were ready
to go for next budget season.
80 carpenters descend on Beulah Baptist Church
BY TRICIA JOHNSON,
CORRESPONDENT
A
round 80 volunteers
arrived at Beulah
Baptist Church on June 6 to
help build a new sanctuary
and fellowship hall for the
church – in just one week.
The volunteers are part of
a program called “Carpenters
for Christ” – a group which
sends out teams of carpenters to various churches to
help with construction projects. This particular team
is based in Glen Church in
Glen St. Mary, Florida, but the
volunteers come from 12 different churches in five states.
All of them will call Beulah
Baptist Church home for the next week.
“God calls us once a year to serve a local church
that is growing and bursting at the seams,” explained Eric Raulerson, the team leader. “We want
to come build something for them so they can keep
right on growing! “ The sanctuary and fellowship
hall will add 7,000 square feet of space.
Why would these men give up their vacation
time, sleep on cots and eat food prepared in a
church kitchen for a week each year? “God has
been so good to us,” said Raulerson. “He saved us
and he has given us a purpose in life. This is one of
our purposes in life. He’s been so good to us and
we can’t wait to find ways to serve him, and that is
why we are here,” he added.
Beulah Baptist Church member and head of the
building committee Donald Hackler was impressed
by the speed with which progress was being made.
“We’ve been working for less than an hour and
we’ve already got a wall up! They are hoping by
lunch time to have all of the walls up so they can
start setting trusses.”
“It is just amazing that they are willing to come
and do this,” Hackler added. “It would have been
another year at least - possibly two – before we
could have done this without their help,” he said.
“We have seen a lot of excitement in the church –
excitement that we are going to be able to expand
our facilities and bring more people to Christ.”
Pastor Jason Taylor shared Hackler’s excitement
about the project. “This will be a space that we will
use for worship now because we have outgrown
our current sanctuary,” Taylor said. “Also, it is going
to help with our people with mobility issues with
the church – we have some members – and some
guests – who have trouble getting around so the
fact that it is one level will really help,” he added.
“The building itself is not the point,” Taylor said.
“It is just the tool to help people come into a relationship with Christ and to grow in their relationship
with Christ once they come here,” he said.
“It has been a long process,” said building committee member June Perkins, “but then once we
really started, it seemed to move so fast! God just
put the right people in the right place at the right
time, so it has all worked out. I’m looking forward
to this building which will be handicapped accessible,” Perkins added. “It will be great to have a
fellowship hall that we can have fellowship in with
everyone. It is going to be great for the community
when we do functions to serve the community.”
Carpenters for Christ will remain at Beulah
Baptist through Friday, June 12. They hope to
complete the exterior of the building by then. The
church will be responsible for the interior finish
work.

out teams of carpenters
