Illig BY TRICIA JOHNSON, CORRESPONDENT Four gang members were convicted in the 2014 murder of Waynesboro Reserve Police Captain Kevin Quick by a federal court jury in Roanoke on Feb. 24. Daniel Mathis, Travis Leon Bell AKA Kweli Uhuru, Shantai Shelton, and Mersadies Shelton were convicted of first degree murder and racketeering charges. Halisi Uhuru and Anthony Stokes were convicted of lesser charges. In all, the six suspects were convicted of charges ranging from murder to racketeering and armed robbery; some charges were related to crimes committed as part of the alleged Virginia street gang “99 Goon Syndikate,” with reported ties to the Bloods of Los Angeles. “One of the defendants was involved in the Columbia Corner Market robbery, and two were involved in both the Columbia Corner Market robbery and the Kidd’s Store robbery, both of which took place in 2014,” said Fluvanna Commonwealth’s Attorney Jeff Haislip. Because of that connection, and because Quick’s ATM card was used in Fluvanna, Fluvanna investigators were involved in the investigation from the beginning. “It We Pack Everything We Ship Anywhere Slain Waynesboro Reserve Police Captain Kevin Quick. Photo courtesy of Waynesboro Police Department was a very impressive case that was put together,” said Haislip. “The cooperation among the FBI, the Virginia State Police, the Louisa Sheriff’s Office, the Fluvanna Sheriff’s Office, the Albemarle and Goochland authorities ... it was a joint effort,” he said, “It was very impressive.” Private Mailbox Rentals 434-589-9602 Fax: 434-589-9603 www.mailboxexpresspalmyrava.com Mon.-Fri. 9-6 • Sat.10-2 265 Turkeysag Trail, #102 Email: [email protected] Owner: Terry Brown Authorized Shipping Center Signs Laminating Banners Document Custom Shredding Calendars Notary Public Canvas Portraits Full / Self Serve Art Prints Copying Photo Packages (black & Copying white/color) Blueprints, Large Format Prints, etc. Professional Mailbox Rentals Packing Faxing Specialty Boxes Haislip pointed out that the interagency cooperation born of the 9/11 terrorist attacks has continued, the groundwork set for better communication and sharing of resources in cases like this one. “We still have regional groups that meet, anti-gang groups that meet regionally, and it is that type of interaction knowing one another and having those contacts readily available – that make this kind of teamwork possible,” Haislip explained. “From day one the cooperation in this case was phenomenal.” Quick, 45 and the father of a young child, was last seen on January 31, 2013. His remains were found a week later in at the Goochland County/Fluvanna County line just outside of Columbia. Quick’s ATM card had been used in Fork Union the night of his disappearance; his car was found abandoned in Mineral. “It is a terrible thing, a terrible tragedy,” said Haislip of Quick’s murder. “Obviously our thoughts and prayers go out to his family still - and the fact that he appeared to lose his life because he was a law enforcement officer...” Haislip shook his head. “It is just a tragedy.” Charles W. Illig, 79, died February 22, 2016 in Ellsworth, ME. He was born on Staten Island, New York, January 8, 1937, the son of Robert W. and Mae (Wilday) Illig. Charles served in the U.S. Navy for four years on the USS Coral Sea, Norfolk, Va. He worked as an accountant from 1962-1998 in several firms in NJ, NY, and CT. After retirement, he was a school bus driver for 11 years in Fluvanna, Va. He and his wife Bette then moved to Blue Hill, ME in 2012. He was a volunteer fireman in NJ; he was a member of the Big Brother Association and a soccer coach in CT. He was a 4th degree Knights of Columbus in Virginia. Charles was also an avid dog lover. He is survived by his wife of almost 50 years, Bette; daughters, Amanda Webster and husband Trevor of Norfolk, Va., and Tammy Illig of Ohio; son, Danny Illig of AZ; granddaughters, Catherine and Brooklyn Webster; and many nieces and nephews. He was predeceased by his brother, Robert Illig. Private services will be held at St. Joseph Church, Ellsworth.

Members of the School Board gathered with the Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors Wednesday night (Feb. 24) to discuss the schools’ request for $17.8 million in local funding – $1.7 million more than the approved funding for last year. The additional funding above last year’s baseline would go toward strengthening salary scales for all staff in an attempt to remain competitive with surrounding areas, said Keller. With $520,000, the School Board could advance staff one step on salary scales, modify one salary scale to smooth out significant jumps between years, enhance the other salary scale, and pay more to nurses and some technology employees. About $384,000 of the additional funding would hold employees harmless for the projected 10 percent increase in health insurance costs. The School Board also wants to invest $435,000 in professional development and in hiring more positions, such as literacy aides and psycho-educational professionals. It seeks to spend $335,000 in boosting funding for classroom instruction and technology. About $50,000 would fund a furniture replacement cycle and take care of other operating needs. The School Board also wants to eliminate “pay to play” athletic fees for students. Keller reflected on how she thinks the more austere school budgets of recent years have impacted Fluvanna students. “Our current fifth graders – their entire educational experience has occurred during the toughest budget crunch ever,” she said. “Their entire educational experience – kindergarten through fifth grade – has been with budget deficits, lack of resources, and stressed-to-the-max teachers.” The School Board took an informal peek at funding for next year, or fiscal Do You Have Plumbing Problems?

Preliminary estimates place FY18 requested local funding at $19.4 million. That constitutes a $1.55 million increase over this year’s requested funding, which, of course, contains a $1.7 million increase over last year’s funding. With each penny of the real property tax rate amounting to about $281,000 in revenue, the schools’ increases for FY17 and FY18 amount to about a 12-cent increase on the tax rate, said County Administrator Steve Nichols. In contrast, Nichols’ proposed budget, which holds the tax rate steady at 89.9 cents per $100 valuation, contains essentially level funding for the schools in FY17. His budget contains between $100,000 and $200,000 extra for the schools above their FY16 funding, he said. His suggested level funding is largely due to the fact that, at the time he prepared his budget, he had not yet received the schools’ formal request. “There’s about 12 cents’ worth of ask there,” Nichols said about the School Board’s formal request for FY17 and informal estimate for FY18. Finding it difficult to imagine that supervisors would approve the entire funding request, Nichols urged the School Board and Keller to start thinking of priorities. “We do that every year,” said Keller. After the meeting, Keller discussed her top priorities for the budget, should the School Board fail to receive its entire request. “I want to do the very best we can do on salaries,” she said, “and hold harmless on health insurance if possible.” Staffing positions and technology are tied for “a really close third,” she said. “We have got to get those technology tools to our kids… Technology needs are really the paper and pencil for 21st century children.” Fluvanna schools have about 3,500 children enrolled, Keller said. The clock is ticking for the Board of Supervisors to come to at least a preliminary idea of how it wishes to balance all the county’s funding needs with the desire to keep taxes as low as possible. On March 16 supervisors must set an advertised tax rate for FY17. Though supervisors can then adjust that number down, they cannot set the tax rate higher than the advertised rate. To advertise email: [email protected] Constitutional officers present budget requests BY CHRISTINA DIMEO, CORRESPONDENT All five constitutional officers told the Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors on Feb. 17 that their budget requests reflect the amounts they need to keep their offices running smoothly. County Administrator Steve Nichols seemed to agree, as his proposed budget didn’t dole out much of a hit to their requests. The five constitutional officers are elected by Fluvanna residents rather than appointed or hired by county staff or supervisors. As such, they operate their offices independently, but rely on supervisors for funding. Tristana Treadway, new clerk of the circuit court, said that certain items in her office are breaking. The antiquated state of some of her equipment is bad enough to be “embarrassing,” she said pleasantly. “I ask the Board not to tie my hands, and give me the opportunity to make some changes that need to be made,” she said. Her office is running out of room for paper records, Treadway said. She hopes to digitize them, but a bill currently in the legislature could make that difficult if passed, she said. She can build more shelves in the records room, she said, but would need funding for the project. Treadway’s circuit court budget request was $618,892, which Nichols cut to $610,392 in his proposed budget. The proposed budget supports Treadway’s circuit court judge budget request of $57,090. Sheriff Eric Hess talked about his budget request in terms of a few new things he’d like to implement, such as sending some deputies to specialized schools, like the FBI academy, for training. When a child went missing recently, the FBI agent who came to help had “great” software that helped significantly with the investigation, Hess told supervisors. While he realizes Fluvanna can’t afford that sort of set up, he said he wants to get started with some of the software basics. Hess also asked for the ability to give experienced and certified new hires a $3,000 sign-on bonus. It costs the county about $24,196 to train a non-certified deputy, he said, so having that incentive would ultimately save the county money. He would ask recipients of the bonus to sign a three-year contract, and if they left before the contract was up, they would be required to repay the bonus. Hess’s requested budget was $2,567,336. Nichols’ proposed budget cut that number slightly to $2,510,189. Commonwealth’s Attorney Jeff Haislip said that his office had used drug forfeiture funds to buy a few needed items, which saved him from having to come to supervisors for money. But the world is changing, he said, and his office needs to keep up. “We have to stay ahead of what defense attorneys are doing and live up to what juries are expecting,” he said. He also asked supervisors to consider county workers. “Whatever you can do for your employees this year, I’d urge you to try to do that,” he said. Haislip requested $488,810. Nichols modified that to $481,060 in his proposed budget. Commissioner of the Revenue Mel Sheridan said that his office has been working to digitize old land use files and is now in the midst of digitizing five decades of tax relief files. Land use applicants can now apply electronically, he said, and about 25 to 30 percent of applicants are doing so. He requested $356,244, which Nichols docked slightly to $355,764 in his proposed budget. Treasurer Linda Lenherr said that a problem with the computer system is resulting in people with delinquent tax bills being charged less than they actually owe. Her office is working on the problem but it is not yet resolved. She asked for $474,297. Nichols modified that number to $457,517 in his proposed budget.

One of them may sit at the landfill off Rt. 6 in Fork Union, but the other could tower over Lake Monticello. But Fluvanna staff and the Board of Supervisors believe the extra tall towers may play a key role in saving lives. The county is in the middle of designing an E911 system that will dramatically improve radio coverage in Fluvanna. The lack of coverage under the current system – only about 35 percent county-wide – has created some near-catastrophes. One time, said Cheryl Elliott, emergency services coordinator, a deputy was facing down a person attempting to commit suicide with a weapon. But they were outside of the radio system’s coverage area, and despite several attempts, other deputies couldn’t make contact to see if he was all right. Frantic, a deputy tried to race to the scene, but in haste ended up crashing a patrol car. Another time, a deputy was called to a scene where he had to administer CPR to a child. He tried to radio for help but couldn’t make it through to dispatch. Fortunately, Elliott said, someone else in the house was able to use a landline to call 911 – but that’s not always the case. Then there was a time when a call came from a place deputies knew well – whenever they would respond to that house, the man who lived there would attack them. But the deputy rushing to the scene in response to the call was new, Elliott said, and had no idea what he was in for. The other deputies tried to radio him to warn of the danger he was in – but they couldn’t get through. “Fortunately, no one has been injured or hurt,” said Elliott – but that luck could run out at any moment. Motorola is designing a new radio system that will provide the county with 95 percent coverage as measured inside residential buildings – a vast improvement over the current coverage. Initially, the design included shorter towers. Fluvanna’s costs to lease sections on those towers, however, would run between $1,800 and $4,700 per tower section per month – a significant expense that would never let up. So Elliott and her team started thinking about whether it would make sense for the county to combine sites and build a couple 350-foot towers that the county itself would own. On Feb. 17, she presented a plan to supervisors that included three countyowned towers: a 350-foot tower near Lake Monticello, a 350-foot tower at the landfill, and a 195-foot tower at the sheriff’s office. Though the sheriff’s tower has already been approved – construction is slated to start within the month – Elliott wanted input from supervisors Placement of proposed radio tower at the sheriff ’s office.

In-house lab blood results while you wait This home on James Madison Highway just south of Carysbrook Elementary School was damaged when a tree fell on the roof. Photo by Tricia Johnson The National Weather Service (NWS) has confirmed that a tornado touched down in Fluvanna on Wednesday, Feb. 24. A severe line of thunderstorms passed through the state late that afternoon; the tornado that toppled trees and caused minor damage to homes in the southeastern part of the Fluvanna County has been categorized as an EF 0 tornado with maximum wind speeds of 75-85 mph. The agency cautioned that this assessment could change as more information about storm damage is collected. “The tornado path was about 4.5 miles in length, beginning near Winnsville Drive and Tepee Town Road and extended northeast across Thessalonia Road and finally lifting after crossing James Madison Highway just north of Carys Creek Road,” read the public informa- tion statement from the NWS. “We are just beginning the assessment phase of storm damage associated with this tornado,” said Cheryl Elliott, Fluvanna’s emergency services director. “We have to see if the state or federal minimums have been met for assistance.” Fallen trees marked the tornado’s passage, which stretched from just south of Fork Union, through Carysbrook, and on to Hells Bend Road. In a few instances, trees landed on homes or vehicles; at least one outbuilding was destroyed. Despite the scope of the damage, no one was killed or injured in Fluvanna County. Other communities in Virginia suffered destruction from tornadoes of varying strengths – including two EF 3 tornados. Four fatalities in the Commonwealth have been attributed to the storms.

The goal of the Virginia Household Water Quality Program is to improve the water quality of Virginians with private water supplies, such as wells, springs and cisterns. These Drinking Water Clinics are being held in counties across the state to give people with private water systems access to affordable water testing, to help with interpreting their water test results and information about possible treatment options, the press release stated. Participants attend a short, evening meeting, where they receive information about how to collect water samples and a sampling kit. At this meeting, participants will be notified of a date, time, and location where they can drop off To advertise call: 434.207.0222 their water samples. At this collection point, the samples will be iced in coolers and taken to the Biological Systems Engineering Water Quality Lab at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg for analysis. Once the analysis is complete, a meeting is held to distribute the results to each participant. At this meeting, water test results are explained, and information provided about possible treatment options participants may consider. All participant information is kept strictly confidential. The cost is $52. This payment covers the cost of one sampling kit. The analysis provided would normally cost more than $200 at a commercial water testing laboratory. To register for this local program call VCE Fluvanna at 434-591-1950 or email Erin Davis, office manager, at [email protected]. The kickoff meeting is May 2 at 6:30 p.m., sample collection is May 4 from 7:30 to 9 a.m. The interpretation meeting will be June 15 at 6:30 p.m., all held at the Fluvanna Community Center in Fork Union.

Photo by Tricia Johnson Dominion Virginia Power said its plan to close its coal ash ponds in Virginia – including one in Fluvanna County – was carefully fashioned to protect the environment. “Too much misinformation has circulated far too widely for far too long regarding Dominion Virginia Power’s plan to safely, carefully and permanently close its coal ash ponds in Virginia,” said Dominion’s Chief Environmental Officer Pam Faggert in a press release. “The plan we are implementing will protect the state’s rivers and groundwater while safely disposing of the coal ash in place with permanent caps and ongoing groundwater monitoring,” she said. “It is the safest and best approach and will meet all state and federal environmental requirements.” Dominion Virginia Power won approval in January from the State Water Control Board for a permit, drafted by Virginia’s Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ), that lays out plans to dewater and permanently close ash ponds at their Bremo Bluff power plant, located on the James River in Fluvanna County. These ash ponds hold the by-product of decades of coal-fired power generation. Toxins found in coal ash can include arsenic, lead, cadmium, mercury, and chromium. Dominion also had approved the same day a permit governing a similar process for their plant at Possum Point in Prince William County. Environmental groups have expressed concerns that the limits set for the amounts of toxins that may be released into the waterways do not protect human and aquatic life and do not meet federal Clean Water Act standards. Soon, Dominion, the DEQ, and the environmental groups will meet in court to determine whether the permits and the permitting processes were legal. The Southern Environmental Law Center (SELC), acting on behalf of the Potomac Riverkeeper and the James River Association (JRA), filed an appeal of the permit issued by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) to Dominion. The SELC claimed that the permit “would allow the company to pollute Quantico Creek and the Potomac River with more than 150 million gallons of coal ash wastewater contaminated with high levels of toxic metals from the Possum Point Power Station,” read a press release from the SELC, issued on February 26. SELC announced that they will be filing a similar appeal to challenge the permit issued for Dominion’s power plant at Bremo. Dominion said that the EPA classified coal ash as a non-hazardous waste, and added that their plan would “be in full compliance with state law and regulation as well as the new federal regulation, all of which are designed to protect both human health and the environment,” according to the press release. “Each coal ash site will be handled under a specific plan tailored to the individual location. In the case of the three ponds at Bremo Power Station, the water will be cleaned through a waste-water treatment system and thoroughly tested before the cleaned water is released into the James in accordance with the permit granted by the State Water Control Board,” said Faggert. “After the water is removed, the coal ash material itself will be stabilized in place and permanently covered with a material designed to protect the ash from rainfall, which in turn protects the groundwater.” “This approach is safe and makes the most sense for our customers and for the environment,” Faggert added. But the SELC and the Potomac Riverkeeper are adamant that Dominion’s coal ash ponds are polluting the state’s waters. “Dominion has leaking, unlined coal ash ponds containing toxic wastewater throughout the state that are contaminating groundwater and nearby surface water every day,” said SELC’s Senior Attorney Greg Buppert, “DEQ has known about coal ash contaminating groundwater at Possum Point for three decades and nothing was ever done to stop it...We need our state environmental agency to stand up to Dominion and protect Virginia’s citizens and natural resources from this pollution.” “There is absolutely no accountability or oversight,” said Potomac Riverkeeper Dean Naujoks. “We are demanding an EPA investigation and we want Dominion’s coal ash permit revoked. We want a full investigation. The EPA must investigate this matter.” To advertise email: [email protected] To advertise call: 434.207.0222 March 3, 2016 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | 13 CountrySide Upholstery Home & Marine Carroll Morse 434-589-4106 P.O.

Aqua requested an overall increase in water and sewer revenues of $1.71 million. On Jan. 7 the SCC granted $1.49 million, or 87 percent. But Lake Monticello customers will pay 98.5 percent of Aqua’s request. Aqua customers have already been paying 100 percent of the company’s requested increase for the past year through interim rates. The SCC allows Aqua to charge interim rates while the rate case works its way through the system, so long as it refunds any difference, plus interest, to customers when the case is decided. Aqua has 90 days from the date of the SCC’s order to issue the refunds. Though Aqua hasn’t credited the refunds yet, Lake Monticello customers just received their first bills using the newly approved rates. For customers hoping to see their bills go down to 87 percent of what they’ve been this past year, the results were disappointing. The bills held at 98.5 percent – essentially, they stayed the same. Aqua’s not doing anything shady. The rates it is charging its Lake Monticello customers were set by the SCC. The SCC set a base water charge of $17.62 and a base sewer charge of $31.26, as opposed to Aqua’s interim base water charge of $17.87 and base sewer charge of $31.41. Customers pay these amounts regardless of their water usage. The SCC also set volumetric rates of $6.74 per 1,000 gallons of water use and $15.05 per 1,000 gallons of sewer use, as opposed to Aqua’s interim water rate of $6.80 and sewer rate of $15.40. Given that the difference between the rates can be measured in pennies, it’s no surprise that Lake Monticello customers aren’t seeing relief. How then is Aqua only pulling in 87 percent of its requested revenue increase? “The total annual operating revenue authorized by the SCC’s final order is the revenue generated by all systems operated by the company,” said Ken Schrad, SCC spokesperson. “Each system will generate its own level of revenue based on the rate group in which it falls... Some systems might be more of a percentage [of the increase], some might be less.” Lake Monticello, which is in the middle of three water rate groups, and the top of two sewer rate groups, must therefore be paying more of the revenue increase than the systems in the lower groups. There used to be five water rate groups and three sewer rate groups, but Aqua is working to consolidate those groups until all Aqua Virginia customers pay the same rates. Shannon Becker, president of Aqua Virginia, said that he doesn’t know exactly when the consolidation will be complete, but expects that the next rate case will contain more consolidation. For example, with this most recent rate increase, all Aqua Virginia customers are now paying the same base charges. So the rate increases were higher for those who were paying the lowest rates, said Becker, and least for those who were already paying higher rates. Eventually Aqua will minimalize those discrepancies as it finishes the consolidation process, said Becker. Lake Monticello and other systems in its rate group pay the highest rates for sewer of all Aqua Virginia customers. But there is a rate group that has to pay higher rates for water than Lake Monticello. Now that the rate increase has been finalized, Lake Monticello customers’ bills have gone up, on average, about 7.7 percent from the rates charged when the rate case began in 2014. Becker has said that his company typically files for rate increases every two years or so – though the most recent gap was 33 months – which could put a new rate case on the books this fall. But Becker said that while he can’t say when the next rate increase request will come, he does know it won’t be in 2016.

The 2015-16 winter sports banquet was held on Feb. 23. As is always the case, the master of ceremonies for the festivities was Scott Morris, athletic director at the high school. Morris started off with a thank you to all the adults who make the sports season a reality: the bus drivers, the medical staff, the parents and grandparents, and of course, the spouses and significant others of the coaching staffs. Each varsity coach reports on the achievements of the team and the individuals, he or she led during the season. The basketball coaches reported first. Coach Munro Rateau reported that the boys’ basketball team did not win as often as he had hoped, and he noted that senior point guard Nick Washington was named honorable mention in the Jefferson District. Coach Chad White noted that although his squad came up short in the Conference tournament he was proud of how hard they worked. He announced that senior guard Bri Harris and junior guard Chaniya Brown both made honorable mention in the Conference and second team in the Jefferson District. Additionally, senior forward Kate Stutz was first team in the Conference and the Jefferson District and was Jefferson District player of the year. The coach with the longest list of honors to announce was girls’ indoor track coach Rose Brogan. Her team 18 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | March 3, 2016 finished third in the Regional meet at Liberty University. Leading the way for Brogan was Matasha Martin. She was All-Conference in four events and AllRegion in five events. At the Regional Fluco indoor track athletes going to State meet.

Not surprisingly, after such prodigious accomplishments, Martin was named Region 3A Female Track Athlete of the Year and Region 3A Female Runner of the Year. In addition, a host of other Fluco female athletes were All-Conference and/or AllDistrict. All-Conference honors went to Madison Brown in the triple jump, LaMaya Lacy in the 55 meter hurdles, Hallie Reese in the shot put, Brooklyn Duenas in the shot put, Jackie Rodriguez in the 3200 meter, Kristen Cabrera in the 1600 meter and the 100 meter, Saige Haney in the 1600 meter and the 3200 meter, Avery Haislip in pole vault and Erin Blackburn in pole vault. The 4X800 meter relay team of Rodriguez, Cabrera, Bridget Bossong and Camryn Frederick also made All Conference. The 4X800 relay team was also AllRegion. All-Region honors also went to Haney in the 1600 meter, Cabrera in 1000 meter, and Haislip and Blackburn in the pole vault. The All-Region winners all are going on to the State meet. Outstanding athletes on the boys’ indoor track team, coached by Tom Casto, were led by Keegan Campanelli. He was Conference champion in the pole vault and All-Region in this event as well. Accordingly, Campanelli will be going to the State meet. All-Conference was achieved by Katriel Smith in the triple jump, and by the 4X800 relay team of John Bossong, Andy Guess, Andy Riddler and Jack Rice. Feda Morton, coach of the girls’ swim team, announced that Caylyn McNaul was named the team’s Outstanding Swimmer based on her first place finish in conference, fourth place finish at Region and sixth place finish at the State meet in the 100 breaststroke event. Stephanie Nardone and Lydia Reynard also placed well at the State meet. Nardone was seventh in the 100 butterfly and Reynard was fifth in dive. Morton named Rachael Muller as Most Improved and Morgan Maupin as Most Dedicated. The boys’ swim Coach James Small reported that Michael DiFazio qualified for the State meet in 100 butterfly and the 100 backstroke and that the 200 freestyle relay team of DiFazio, Morgan Milburn, Sam Hagan and Alex Scalzo also moved on from the Regional meet to the State meet. Wrestling Coach Michael Gore reported that although his squad did not finish as strong as he had hoped, “they wrestled hard and I could not have hoped for more.” His standouts during the season included Esa Mayo-Pitts, Ian Dillon, Mason Justus and Quinton Crouch.

File Photo Marvin Moss, a retired public servant and contributor to his community, has received the 2016 Unsung Virginian Award, a statewide honor bestowed by Virginia’s electric cooperatives, according to a Central Virginia Electric Cooperative press release. This award honors a Virginian for services rendered to the Commonwealth without thought of personal gain. Moss was nominated by CVEC. The nomination was accompanied by numerous letters of support, among them a commendation from Sen. Paul Sarbanes of Maryland, a leader in setting national clean water goals who served in the U.S. Senate from 1977 -1995. After serving as chief of staff for Sarbanes for 18 years, Moss moved to Fluvanna County in 1995. There, his unique skills and energies were put to good use, as he led the Fluvanna Historical Society and the Fluvanna Heritage Trail Foundation. He also served on the Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors and chaired it for two years. He chaired the Rivanna River Basin Commission and still serves on it. With his experience and knowledge of architecture, Moss was instrumental in the design of the new Palmyra fire station and worked to see that the new county library was heated and cooled by geothermal energy. He also played a key role in designing the Pembroke Pettit Bridge over the Rivanna River in Palmyra and ensured it was an attractive addition to historic Palmyra. From 2002-2007, Moss was appointed by Gov. Mark Warner and re-appointed by Gov. Tim Kaine to serve on the Capitol Square Preservation Council, which oversaw restoration of the State Capitol building and construction of the new visitor’s center. Perhaps Moss’ greatest contribution was leading the Fluvanna Historical Society to receive $800,000 in grants that funded restoration of the site’s historic Pleasant Grove House, which opened to the public in 2014. This project won Preservation Piedmont’s 2015 historic preservation award. The property, which houses the county’s park and recreation staff, offers a pavilion and multiuse trail system that attracts users from across the region. Moss’ latest initiative is a Farm Heritage Museum to further add to the park’s resources. Judith Mickelson, retired executive director of the Fluvanna Historical Society, said of Moss, “His ability to forge compatible relationships between public and private organizations is exemplary and legendary.” Deborah Murdock, fellow historical society executive team member, added “Not only is Marvin extremely productive in all his involvements, he is also fun to work with!” In her nomination letter, Roberta Savage, executive director of the Rivanna Conservation Society, stated, “Marvin has been stalwart in the cause of clear water and has led a number of efforts to enhance water quality, river access and overall beautification of central Virginia.” In honoring Moss with the Unsung Virginian Award, Chairman of VMDAEC Larry Howdyshell noted, “because of volunteers such as Marvin, the quality of life in our rural communities will be enriched for future generations. VMDAEC Executive Vice President Richard Johnstone, said “Marvin exemplifies the 7th cooperative principle of ‘concern for community. We are proud to recognize his inspirational leadership that has made such a difference for central Virginia.” Watts Auction Realty and Jefferson Real Estate Auctions to announce Auction Sale SmokeFree 388 Circle Drive, Arvonia, VA (Buckingham County) 100 Centre C Ct., C South Boston Rd 434-589-1155 ON-SITE AUCTION to be held 11.00 am Saturday, MARCH 19, 2016.

EOE March 3, 2016 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | 23 Middle schoolers hear about science and adventure “The students energize you, they are so excited, they have so many questions, and they are so smart – they know a lot more than I did when I was in middle school, that’s for sure.” – Ken Carr BY TRICIA JOHNSON, CORRESPONDENT Ken Carr – who has now left Fluvanna on an expedition to Heard Island in the Antarctic – had another sort of adventure on Feb. 24 – a trip to Fluvanna Middle School. Carr spent the day talking to groups of students about the upcoming expedition to the pristine island, hoping to kindle in the young students the same kind of excitement for science he first felt when he was their age. “I became excited about science when I was their age,” Carr said. He became an amateur radio enthusiast when he was 12 or 13, he said, and that interest in science guided his career. Carr suspects many of the students he spoke with at Fluvanna Middle School will end up with careers in science and technology. “I was amazed by some of the technical knowledge displayed by these middle school kids,” he said. “I suspect there will be quite a few who will end up in the fields of science and technology – they were very savvy. “ “The students energize you, they are so excited, they have so many questions, and they are so smart – they know a lot more than I did when I was in middle school, that’s for sure,” said Carr with a laugh. Fluvanna Middle School Principal Brad Fluvanna educators have had an increasing focus on “STEM Education” – teaching science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This visit by Carr is just part of an ongoing attempt to encourage interest in and excitement about the sciences. For more information about the expedition to Heard Island go to http://bit. ly/1RADnfR or visit HeardIsland.Org. Ken Carr spoke with middle school students on Feb. 24. Photo by Tricia Johnson Stang was happy to have Carr speak to his students. “It is a great opportunity Keep Your Back Healthy! for our students to hear Mr. Carr speak about Heard Island – to actually talk to a person who is on the expedition. He can share realworld experiences with our students - he can talk to them about some of the actual technology and data they will be using. The kids can learn about the technology and hopefully get excited about these sorts of careers. I know the teachers are very excited to have Mr. Carr here.

GIFFORD, CORRESPONDENT The loss of a pet is just as heartbreaking as any human loss and those who have ties with their closest companions for years understand how difficult it is. Last year, B.J. Hammond celebrated her dog Kringle’s 20th birthday, a milestone since he surpassed the average lifespan of most dogs. Sadly, Kringle didn’t make it to his 21st birthday. Kringle celebrated his 20th birthday last year with much fanfare and press coverage but almost a year later, Hammond recognized his time was coming and sensed that Kringle did not want medical intervention and that his life was complete. Hammond has always had a deep bond with her dogs and like many of us who have sent our dogs over the “rainbow bridge,” they usually have a way of communicating to us that it is time for them to go as difficult as that may be for us to accept. “He was ready to join his five pack buddies who were waiting for him in the Meadow. He announced that he wanted to go naturally as long as it was not too painful,” said Hammond. “He faced all bravely, and only at the very end did he ask for help over the last hill standing between him and release. As he had lived with spirited engagement, so he passed on to his new life peacefully and without hesitation.” Much of the credit for Kringle’s incredible longevity goes to his owner, who is a er How can I lo?w my taxes certified muscle and joint therapist specializing in animal care. Her goal has always been to help dogs live longer and maintain active lives through bodywork and an understanding of the canine spirit. “Kringle was an amazing little fellow with a big spirit and a mind of his own. When he lost his best buddy, Lullabies, in the summer of 2014, he chose to live on with spirited engagement,” said Hammond. “He was truly blessed with good health, good mobility, a good appetite and strong curiosity right up to the last week before his twentyfirst birthday.” Hammond reminisced about Kringle. “He had independence of spirit which both made me smile and reassured me that his spirit was fine. If I asked something of him that he did not want to do – like take vitamins or spray his teeth and gums – he would “snort” at me. It was his favorite way of expressing his independence, and it always made me smile.” Kringle had an owner who not only gave him a wonderful life and home but someone who looked beyond a simple companion and recognized the life lessons he taught her in return.

She made it official Feb. 4 at Fluvanna County High School’s Signing Day. Messier will join the VMI cadets in the fall of 2017 to begin her collegiate career. Messier has played a tremendous role in the success of girls’ soccer the last few years. Since being on the varsity squad, Messier led the team in scoring her sophomore year and tied her junior year. She also won 1st team Jefferson District her sophomore year, and 1st team Jefferson District and 1st team Conference her junior year. Messier has worked hard on and off the field to become the player she is today. “I have focused on personal motivation, hard work, and dedication to be successful. I have gotten a lot of help from my family, especially my sister,” said Messier. (Her sister, Melissa, graduated from FCHS in 2011 and graduated in 2014 from Campbell University.) Messier has also played club soccer with SOCA and did Olympic Development Program within the organization. She and current team- 26 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | March 3, 2016 mate Lindsay Price have been together throughout their years with SOCA, and now for three years with the Flucos. “I’ve played with Maddie for many years. So when I got to high school, I was excited to be on the same team with her because we have good chemistry on and off the field. Maddie always tries to bring a positive attitude to practice and she likes to keep things light and fun while still working hard,” said Price, who tied Messier in goals last year. One of Messier’s biggest achievements has come in overcoming two ACL surgeries. The first came at the end of her sophomore year on her left knee. The other injury happened on her right knee last July at a VMI soccer camp. “I was able to get through the surgeries, honestly, with my attitude and faith. Staying positive helps more than you think and being Maddie Messier, a senior, made it official on Feb. 4 as she signed to play at the Virginia Military Institute. Photo by Darren McCauley constantly surrounded by such supportive people is something you can’t take for granted. I definitely wouldn’t be where I am without my team, family, and friends,” said Messier. She is expected to be back and playing before the FCHS season opener in March. Her coach, Kristen Davis, is looking forward to her return. “Maddie Messier has been a strong presence on the soccer pitch since joining the soccer team her freshman year. Over the course of her years on the team, she developed from a talented soccer player to a talented soccer teammate who helped elevate the level of play for the whole team,” said Davis. As the 2016 season kicks into gear, look for Messier to continue her role of being a leader, both on and off the field. To advertise email: [email protected] Spring is Around the Corner!
