Some defendants in Quick
trial involved in Fluvanna
robberies
Obituary
Charles W. 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

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.”

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.

Home Care & Hospice, P O Box 156,

The Fluvanna County School Board’s
budget request this year is “the highest
budget request I’ve ever made as a superintendent,” said Superintendent Gena
Keller.
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

year 2018 (FY18), as well. 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.

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

Hailed as “a classic. . . . humorous, full of warmth and real invention” (The New Yorker), this beloved
children’s story and play—firstpublished more than fifty years ago—introduces readers to Milo and
his adventures in the Lands Beyond. For Milo, everything’s a bore. When a tollbooth mysteriously
appears in his room, he drives through only because he’s got nothing better to do. But on the other
side, things seem different. Milo visits the Island of Conclusions (you get there by jumping), learns
about time from a ticking watchdog named Tock, and even embarks on a quest to rescue Rhyme and
Reason! Somewhere along the way, Milo realizes something astonishing. Life is far from dull. In fact,
it’s exciting beyond his wildest dreams. . .

Tall lighted towers may come to county
BY CHRISTINA DIMEO, CORRESPONDENT
Two 350-foot radio towers complete
with strobe lights may be on their way
to Fluvanna. 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

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.

Coal ash pond at the Bremo Bluff power plant. 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.”

Aqua rate cut evaporates
BY CHRISTINA DIMEO, CORRESPONDENT
The price break that Lake Monticello
customers expected to get now that
Aqua Virginia’s rate increase request is
over won’t materialize after all.
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.

Flucos hold annual winter sports banquet
BY DUNCAN NIXON, CORRESPONDENT
After each sports season, Fluvanna
High School holds a banquet to honor
the student athletes who have excelled.
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. Pictured are Keegan Campanelli, Avery
Haislip, Erin Blackburn, Jackie Rodriguez, Bridget Bossong, Kristen Cabrera and
Matasha Martin. Photo by Duncan Nixon
event, Martin placed second in the 300meter dash and won the high jump,
the long jump, the 55-meter dash and
the 55 meter hurdles. 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.

Moss gets unsung
Virginian award
Marvin Moss.
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.”

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.

Stang was happy to have Carr speak to
his students. “It is a great opportunity
Keep

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.

Gone but never forgotten
BY PAGE H. 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.

Fluco sports
spotlight
BY COLBY DEFORGE,
FLUVANNA COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL JOURNALISM PROGRAM
Senior Maddie Messier will lace up
her cleats one last time in the spring for
the Flucos before heading off to Virginia
Military Institute (VMI) to play Division
1 women’s soccer. 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.

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.
