Congress honors first black marine
BY RUTHANN CARR
CORRESPONDENT
Fluvanna’s local Montford Point Marine walked the halls of
Congress June 28 and came back with a medal.
Frank Brown, 87, is one of the first waves of black men to
join the U.S. Marine Corps. Brown was 18, when he joined
the Corps in 1943.The troops were segregated from whites
and were trained at Camp Montford Point, in Jacksonville,
North Carolina, from 1942 to 1949. They weren’t allowed to
enter the nearby base of Camp LeJeune.
The bus ride from Washington D.C. was just a taste of the
treatment Brown received from the drill sergeants, but he
and many others endured.
Brown summed up his time at Camp Montford Point.
“They didn’t want us there in the first place, so they tried
to kill us,” he said.
But Brown and many others did make it.
Brown fought in Saipan for 16 months. He left the Marines
in May 1946 and headed back home to D.C. where he trained
and worked as a dental lab technician and a cab driver.
He then retired to Fluvanna County.
Brown is like any other Marine – a lifelong member. He’s
kept up with his fellow corpsmen, remembering a time that
bound them together.
Even when few others knew about their service.
That began to change last year.
On Nov. 23, 2010 President Barack Obama signed a law
awarding those first black marines the Congressional Gold
Medal, Congress’s highest civilian honor.
Brown, along with more than 400 other Montford Point
Marines, gathered at Emancipation Hall at the Capital Visitors
Center to finally get recognized for their service to the
country.
“I was really honored. It enlightened my spirit,” Brown
said. “I had no idea it would actually happen.”
Part of the ceremony included active-duty Marines in dress
blues who stood in line to congratulate the veterans and
shake their hands.
Brown said it was initially thought that only about 200 of
the 19,861 Marines who trained at Montford Point were left,
but once the medal was announced, the real count was 430.
Even though President Obama was not at the event, plenty
of other dignitaries spoke: U.S. Sens. Corrine Brown (D-Fla.),
Richard Burr (R-N.C.),Kay Hagan (D-N.C.), Harry Reid (D-Nev.),
Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.), and Reps. John Boehner (R-Ohio),
Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).
Brown said he saw at the ceremony three men with whom
he served.
“It brought back a lot of memories,” he said. “It’s great that
someone still remembers and cares.”

Best 4th ever
I believe the 4th of July celebration at
Lake Monticello was one of the best in the
13 years I’ve lived here. John Platt who
was the organizer did an exemplary job
never missing a beat in the horrendous
heat of the day. The various committee
chairs and all of the many volunteers
brought every event off without a hitch.
Also a special thanks should go to Ron
Shields and his family along with the Lake
Monticello Owners’ Association for providing a fabulous breakfast and dinner for
all staff and volunteers. They went above
and beyond with all the homemade foods
from Ron’s family. Of course the day ended with a fantastic fireworks display that
was second to none of the big city displays. Lake Monticello residents should
be proud the way our nation’s birthday
was celebrated here in 2012.

Thank You.
I would like to thank the firm Allen, Allen, Allen, and Allen for the honor that they
have confered me by selecting me, along with Michael Sheridan, as one of Fluvanna
County’s Hometown Heroes. My family and I have been residents of this county since
1995 and we consider it to be our home, so this award means a lot to us. However, there
is a very important detail that I would like to bring to light, and that is the fact that what
I have done to try and give back to our community, I have not done alone.
Since we became partners in January of 2006 and started Akarion Realty, my business
partner, Corven Flynn, has been instrumental in every event that this firm has put together. Corven has supported my ideas and I have supported his. Corven has invested
as much time, money, and effort on every project, every fundraiser, and every action
taken. His wife, Lisa Flynn, has also been instrumental in our success with these events,
without her support it would have been very difficult to accomplish all that we have accomplished, and I want to thank her publicly for all her help.
The Flynns have been involved have been supporting this community and those in need
long before I joined them. As active members of Fork union Baptist Church, they have
been responsible for a great number or initiatives in support of this county. Their community involvement includes charities like Meals on Wheels, Habitat for Humanity, Angel Tree, and even bringing Santa Claus to visit with local kids. I was blessed to be able to
join them in business and also on their efforts to assist others in need.
When you put an event together, no matter how small, it takes a lot of people to bring it
together and make it a success, so it is important to point out that we have always counted
with the support of our families, Fluvanna businesses, and our Akarion Realty Agents.
Last, but not least, I want to thank the residents of Fluvanna County for their outstanding
support of our efforts.
I am grateful and proud for this award, but there is more than one hero to this story.

I take exception to the July 5 letter to
the editor from Mozell Booker. Her comparison of the University of Virginia Board
of Visitors to the Fluvanna County Board
of Supervisors makes no sense – the Visitors are appointed and ultimately answer
to donors.
The supervisors are elected to set tax
rates and allocate expenditures. Ms.
Booker’s lament that the supervisors have
short-changed county programs is specious at best. Too many people, for too
long a time have confused fiscal responsibility with funding “make me feel-good”
programs that are too expensive, unnecessary or no longer affordable at all. In
my view, the supervisors have tried to balance what we need with what we want. No

B
Need hard looks
thinking person could deny that we can
no longer simply fund past programs by
raising taxes. We need to take hard looks
at what we can fund within a responsible
budget. Am I the only one who laments
the loss of the Zions Crossroads business
tax base that previous short-sighted
Board of Supervisor
members, including Ms. Booker, let
slip away to LouisaCounty?

The letter by a sitting Board of
Supervisor member seemed to be sour
grapes in comparing our county’s status
with the University of Virginia board
and Albemarle County. We are Fluvanna
County with our own issues. Our board
exercised fiscal responsibility to the
taxpayers for once and did not pursue
personal agendas that has prevailed with
previous boards.
The board has no control over the
school staff, only the superintendant
and school board have that authority.
The reassessments will equalize the
tax rates upward to hinder economic
development in the near term, possibility
the next 5 to 15 years according to the
experts. Anyone I know would welcome
economic development to ease the
burden on taxpayers if that were the case.
The fact is Zion Crossroads four corners
are in Louisa County and not Fluvanna
as people believe. The intended water
and sewer in that area would benefit
Aqua, developers, Louisa County and
special interest groups in high density
housing and perhaps some commercial
development. Not enough to have any
impact on our taxpayers except to require
more services, more students that would
put more burden on taxpayers, not less.
We the people should have a say in
what we want and are willing to pay for.
Ask the people in Fluvanna, Troy and the
Zion area if we have the need and not the
people who stand to profit on gambling
with taxpayers money. We take all the risk
with very little reward, if any. There have
been many examples of failed projects
around Virginia and other states during
good economic times which we have
not have for four or five years. If we get
moving as suggested, we will be headed
in the wrong direction.

pay attention to history and past failures
are doomed to repeat them. My opinion

Shortly after the Fluvanna Board of
Supervisors voted not to increase our
personal property taxes by over 19%,
when the rhetoric and name-calling were
at a peak, two young girls and the brother
of one of them were raising money
under a “Save Our Schools” banner at a
lemonade stand near Lake Monticello’s
Monish Gate. There, as I sipped on my
lemonade, I talked to one of them about
the fund raiser. Not one condemning or
harsh word was spoken. That was even
more refreshing than my cold drink.
I agree with Ms. Booker that when a
bad decision is made by theBoard of
Supervisors, it needs to be rectified. I
believe this board did that when it voted
to rein in the spending spree started by its
predecessors. Whether or not you agree
with me, not supporting the 68 cent tax
rate does not make me or anyone a childhater, as some profess, any more than
not wanting to protect a child’s rights
from conception makes someone else a
hater of children. I am a big fan of the
First Amendment, but I am also a fan of
exercising our right to free speech and
airing our differences with civility and
respect, something we can learn from
those young entrepreneurs.

Low-flying plane to map underground faults
Residents of Fluvanna, Louisa and Goochland counties may notice a low-flying airplane over the area starting Tuesday (July 10) as scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey map the underground faults responsible for the region’s Aug. 23, 2011 earthquake,
according to federal officials.
The earthquake, likely felt by more people than any other earthquake in U.S. history,
caused extensive damage in central Virginia and was among the largest ever to occur
along the eastern seaboard.
The flights will last until July 20, depending on weather, according to a press release
from the USGS.
The USGS is working with state and local officials to coordinate the flight surveys,
which may take place at altitudes as low as 400 feet.
To provide seismologists with better information about the area’s buried geologic
features, the instruments in the airplane will take measurements of earth’s gravitational
and magnetic pull at different locations throughout the region. Subtle changes in the
Earth’s magnetic and gravity fields can indicate where underground faults are located.
“This is the first time airborne gravity has been used as a tool for mapping seismic
hazard in the U.S.” said Anji Shah, USGS research geophysicist and lead scientist of the
study. “The data collected will be used to estimate changes in Earth’s subsurface up
to about nine miles underground. With this information, we will be able to refine our
estimates of the region’s seismic hazard.”
The results of the study will be published online when complete.
Texas man dies in motorcycle accident on Rt. 15

(540) 832 - 1751
A Texas man was killed after he lost control of his motorcycle on Rt. 15 in Fluvanna County.
Jacob R.F. Beasley, 23, of Cypress, Texas, was thrown from the bike into the southbound lane of Rt. 15 where he struck a southbound fire truck, according to Corinne
Geller, a spokeswoman for the Virginia State Police.
Beasley’s a 2012 Yamaha YFR motorcycle was traveling north on Rt. 15 at a high
rate of speed when the driver lost control, said Geller. The fire truck, owned by Fluvanna County, immediately pulled to the side of the road.
Beasley died at the scene. He was wearing a helmet. Alcohol was not a factor in
the crash, said Geller.
The crash occurred on Saturday (June 30) at 6:17 p.m. on Rt. 15 less than a mile
from Rt. 53.
Virginia State Police Trooper S.E. Kinney investigated the crash.

Because of this need for more
volunteers, the Fluvanna SPCA will be
hosting two seminars in the coming
weeks. The first, scheduled for Saturday
(July 14) from 9 until 11 a.m. at the
Fluvanna Library, will focus on animal
fostering. Fluvanna SPCA dogs and cats
go into foster care for a variety of reasons.
Puppies and kittens less than eight weeks
of age are sent into foster homes until
they are old enough to adopt.
Nancy Heister, a long time puppy
foster for the FSPCA, called it rewarding.
“My son Alex helps care for the puppies
at home, and has learned that offering
service is as important as donating
money.”
Some animals are sent into foster homes
so that they can recover from illness or
surgery, or so that behavior issues can
be addressed. Joyce McCollough, who
with her husband Jim fosters dogs with
medical or behavior issues, said they
both enjoy feeling they have given one
more dog with special needs a chance
at a great life. “Our goal is to find a
great forever home for these dogs,” said
McCollough. “Being part of the process
– often meeting and interacting with the
adopters – makes it easier for us to say
goodbye.”
A second seminar on volunteering will
be held Saturday ( July 21) from 9 until 11
a.m. at the Fluvanna Library, followed by
a tour of the shelter at 11:30.
Since she first volunteered as a dogwalker, Melissa MacBride Borash has
been astounded at the range of volunteer
activity she has seen – and participated
in. “Everything from communications,
creating videos, posters, or t-shirts,
organizing and running adoption events,
helping with fundraising – to sewing
donated blankets into dog beds or simply
sharing FSPCA Facebook posts – there are
so many needs that talented members of
our community can meet,” she said.
Erika Proctor volunteers her time
training the dogs and helping with
behavior evaluations – and involves
her young children in the process. “My
deepest desire is that my little ones can
grow up … to be fully aware, as well as
worthy of, the people their dogs see them
as,” said Proctor.
“Volunteers are the heart and soul of
our shelter,” said Tricia Johnson, the
director of the FSPCA. “The catch is –
we always need more volunteers than
we have – especially during puppy and
kitten season, when our shelter is very
full.”
More information about these seminars
can be found on the FSPCA website at
fspca.org. Anyone with questions can
contact the shelter at 434.591.0123 or
email [email protected].

Rescue responsibilities are re-evaluated
BY RUTHANN CARR
CORRESPONDENT
An extensive evaluation of emergency services in Fluvanna County is underway following a decision by Louisa County to end mutual aid. As of July 5, Louisa County
squads are no longer responding to mutual aid requests
from Fluvanna. That decision by Louisa showed the need
to reevaluate the area’s fire and rescue services.
Officials from the Virginia Department of Fire Programs (VDFP) spent two days (June 29 and 30) in Fluvanna meeting with everyone who has anything to do
with Fire and Emergency Services in the county.
The VDFP does about seven such comprehensive audits per year, and only at the request of the county or
municipality, said Ken Brown, former fire-rescue chief
and coordinator of Emergency Services for Goochland
County and leader of Fluvanna’s study.
Fluvanna is one of a handful of rural counties in Virginia where fire and emergency services are performed
solely by volunteers.
There are three groups covering Fluvanna: Fluvanna
Volunteer Fire Department, with stations at Fork Union,
Palmyra and Kents Store; Fluvanna Volunteer Rescue
Squad, with stations in these same areas and Lake Monticello Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squad.
Recruiting, training and retaining volunteers, especially for the Fluvanna Rescue Squad, has become harder.
Recruiting and training is difficult and time consuming
and leaves existing staff to pick up more shifts.
Leonard Bozza, a member of the Lake Monticello
Squad and the Fluvanna Fire and EMS committee, has
repeatedly brought to the Board of Supervisors’ attention
the staffing and response time issues.
This, in part, prompted the board to write and request
the state study.
At the meeting with VDFP officials, County Administrator Steve Nichols said he hopes that when push comes
to shove and there is a true need for mutual aid, such as a
large fire or multi-vehicle, multi-victim accident, Louisa
will come through.
“It’s the day to day kinds of runs where we’re at risk,”
Nichols said.
Fluvanna Rescue Squad Chief James Davis said most
mutual aid calls are for an Advanced Life Support (ASL)
volunteer. None of the rescue squads have enough of
these volunteers. ALS providers can do more in-field procedures than basic emergency medical technicians, such
as starting IV’s.
“The bulk of the ALS assistance is them meeting our
truck in the Zion Crossroads area,” Davis said.
A study showed Louisa and Scottsville departments
take many more calls to Fluvanna than Fluvanna squads
take to Louisa and Scottsville per the mutual aid agreement.
The VDFP study report, which is expected to come out
in about six weeks, will give the Board of Supervisors a
detailed list of the issues and possible solutions.
None of the suggestions are legally binding, said Matthew Smith, a VDFP policy and communications analyst.
“The purpose of a fire and EMS study is to provide
an objective view of the fire and EMS services in a local jurisdiction, and to provide feedback on areas that
are successful and areas that could use improvement,”
the VDFP website states. “These studies provide localities
recommendations to improve their jurisdiction’s fire and
EMS service delivery.
The intent of fire and EMS study recommendations is
to provide broad recommendations for the local jurisdiction to review and customize to the benefit of the citizens, organizations and the local jurisdiction.”
The team visited the dispatch center housed in the
sheriff’s department. Before going into the call center,
Sheriff Ryant Washington spoke with the team. Washington is also the acting EMS coordinator.
10 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | July 12, 2012
Photo by Lisa Hurdle
He said there are 10 dispatchers altogether, with two
staffing each shift.
“They do 911 calls but they also act as the hub, the
receptionist for the office,” Washington said. “It can be
hectic sometimes.”
Washington said a concern of dispatchers is that when
a fire or rescue policy or procedure is changed, it doesn’t
filter down to them.
“The expectation is that the dispatcher should know
it all,” he said.
On June 30, after the team’s first day of visits, they
held a Town Hall meeting at Carysbrook for the public to
bring up any concerns and weigh in on the issue.
A study showed Louisa and Scottsville
departments take many more calls
to Fluvanna than Fluvanna squads
take to Louisa and Scottsville
per the mutual aid agreement.
Nichols said between 35 and 40 people showed up,
and about half of those were from both the local Fire and
EMS team and the study team.
Supervisor Joe Chesser (Rivanna) met with the study
team Friday. He said there are many issues involved with
fire and EMS service delivery in Fluvanna, and the most
pressing issues tend to vary depending on who you talk
to.
“The real problem is turnover in the rescue squad,”
Chesser said.
“The concern of the public is, ‘What is the response
time?’”
Brown said communication is key in every community
he’s studied.
Over the years, many things have contributed to Fluvanna’s current situation:
• Increased population which increases call volumes.
• Diminished response times
• Funding issues, which include whether to enact a
“fee for service” (billing a patient for the call through
their insurance). If the patient doesn’t have insurance,
the fee is waived.
• Recruiting and training enough volunteers to staff the
stations appropriately
•
•
•
•
•
Keeping the volunteers
Stress between Lake Monticello and county squads
Debate about whether to hire paid staff
Fundraising to pay for equipment
Adequate financial and moral support from the Board
of Supervisors
Many jurisdictions have the same issues, Brown said.
In 2010, the VFDP did a study for Louisa County. A look
at the recommendations shows that Fluvanna squads
aren’t alone or unique.
The 2010 study showed Louisa lacked “a clear vision
of where the county’s fire and EMS organizations are going.”
“Many volunteers are concerned that the county will
take control of all fire and rescue operations and demand changes, which will lead to total control and the
elimination of volunteers,” the report states.
“The inclusion of the volunteers in the development
process of a vision statement is critical.”
The Louisa study also found the same type of strife
among squads.
“The current delivery of fire and EMS services to the
public is fragmented as a result of personality conflicts
and ‘turf’ battles,” the report states.
In order to “build cohesion within the county to ensure a unified, team environment is fostered” the VDFP
suggested the county hire staff to supplement coverage
while the volunteers concentrate on providing consistent coverage for the times in the schedule when they
have sufficient manpower available. The team said volunteers should be involved in hiring paid staff. They also
suggested Louisa develop a program where volunteers
from any department can cover anywhere in the county.
Another recommendation was that all fire volunteers be
cross-trained as Emergency Medical Technicians (EMTs).
The team suggested that the county should both establish an Operational Medical Director for all county EMS
agencies, and that the county agencies all fall under one
medical license.
Perhaps the most important recommendation from
the report was “delivery of emergency services to the
citizens should be the top priority for all administrative
staff personnel.”

Mud bogger was “the most professional”
BY KRISTIN SANCKEN
CORRESPONDENT
Two deep mud pits of Virginia clay
top a small hill at Haislip Farms Mud
Bog near Kidds Store in Fluvanna
County. When they’re in use, soupedup trucks with large tires race through
them, slowed by the torpor of the
muck.
But today the hill is quiet and the pits
sit untouched, dried by the sun in such
a way that all that remains of the mud
is dust. It seems the land itself is in
mourning, a fine powder of red ochre
rouge settling on everything, a solemn
reminder of life’s impermanence.
“We’re still kind of shook up over
this, it was just a bad thing,” said Shannon Haislip. He and his father Allen
own and run Haislip Farms Mud Bog.
On Saturday (July 7), Carol Dennis
“Chuck” Engel Jr. of Goochland County, a driver of a vehicle taking part in
a mud bogging race on Haislip Farm,
was killed after his vehicle flipped into
a pond, according to Lt. David R. Wells
of the Fluvanna County Sheriff’s Office.
Three others suffered non-life threatening injuries, Wells said.
The Haislips had known Engel, 45,
for over five years, and participated in
mud bogging events with him all over
the mid-Atlantic.
“The mud bogging group is small,
Chuck was one of the most respected
of them all,” said Shannon Haislip. “It’s
got us both in a daze. It’s like a church
group, or any kind of group. You get
attached to these guys, we’re together
three or four times a month.”
According to the Haislips, Engel was
one of the most conscientious of the
group, always equipped with “the best
of the best” safety equipment – helmet,
fire suit, full roll cage, and emergency
kill switch.
“He was the most professional, neatest and cleanest, he didn’t spin or anything. He was a very experienced racer,” said Shannon Haislip.
But none of the safety gear or experience prepared Engel for what happened on Saturday afternoon.
“Nobody did anything wrong, it was
just a bad accident,” said Allen Haislip, co-owner of Haislip Farms Mud
Bog. “A bunch of people saw him, he
was slumped over. I don’t think he was
even conscious. He was just idling coming up there to the side there, hit that
log and shot some gas to it.”
Engel’s truck, which is named ‘Mud
Life Crisis’, then flipped upside down,
over a dam, and into the small pond
that the Haislips use for creating the
mud and washing off the trucks.
According to Wells, after successfully
completing a short mud race, Engel
may have experienced some sort of
“medical event,” flipping his truck into
a nearby pond where some children
were swimming to escape Saturday’s
102 degree record heat. Wells also said
that alcohol did not play a role in the
crash.
Rescue crews and a Fluvanna sheriff’s deputy immediately began to try
to revive Engel but were unsuccessful,
said Wells.
“20 people jumped in there trying
to get him out. He had already unstrapped his 5-point safety belt,” said
Allen Haislip “His own son saw it, he
jumped in there also. It was a real turmoil. It was a bad scene at the dam on
the pond. “
The deputy trying to revive Engel was
taken to the University of Virginia Medical Center for heat-related issues.
According to Wikipedia, mud bogging is also known as mud racing, mud
running, mud drags, or mudding. “It’s a
form of off-road motorsport popular in
Canada and the United States in which
the goal is to drive a vehicle through
a pit of mud of a set length. Winners
are determined by the distance traveled through the pit. However, if several vehicles are able to travel the entire
length, the time taken to traverse the
pit will determine the winner,” according to Wikipedia. Typically, vehicles
competing in mud bogs are four-wheel
drives.
Chuck Engel leaves behind his wife
Heather and their five children Harli,
20, Mason, 17, Mayden, 15, Isabella,
11, and Gabby, 6.
“We lost a good person, a super nice
guy and a good friend,” said Shannon
Haislip. “I still don’t understand, it’s
still a confusion as to what happened,
probably always will be.”
In lieu of flowers, the family of Chuck
Engel has asked that contributions be
made to Bank of Essex for the Engel
Children’s Trust Fund.

Mob spends cash at E W Thomas
Most other shoppers, however, knew
about the event and made a point of
shopping at E W Thomas as part of the
cash mob event.
Fluvanna County Commonwealth’s
Attorney Jeff Haislip and his wife, Kim
Haislip, were paying for their groceries.
“I shop here two to three times a
week anyway, since I’m so close,” Jeff
Haislip said. “This was my first job in
high school. I started as a bagger when
I was 14.”
Thomas joked with Haislip that he
must have decided to go into law when
the grocery business didn’t work out.
“It’s on my resume,” Haislip said.
Dana Catlett of Fork Union picked out
some produce from the fully stocked

CORRESPONDENT
The storm that ripped up trees
and caused days-long power outages
throughout Virginia, also hit a local
grocer hard.
And the Fluvanna community came
to its aid.
Saturday is always E W Thomas’
busiest day, said owner Beth Thomas.
So the June 29 storm that cut the
power to her store for two days, cut
into the grocer’s best sale hours besides
wiping out all the food that needed
refrigeration.
“We were opened for a few hours that
day,” Thomas said. “We led shoppers
around with a flashlight and one
of our long-term employees,
Phyllis Beckley, used her
calculator to add up the sales.”
Thomas said after she thanked
family members on Facebook
for helping her clean out spoiled
meat, dairy, produce and frozen
food, someone must have seen it
and got the idea for a cash mob.
Thomas said she didn’t even
know Gina Elliott Proulx, who
organized the event.
The point of a cash mob is to
spend money at a small business
in need of help. Shoppers are
typically asked to spend around
$20.
The place was buzzing
with activity Saturday, July 7.
Some were doing their regular
shopping and had no idea about
the cash mob.
Tracy Kilpatrick of Troy said
she spent $80. She thought the
place looked kind of busy.
“I thought, ‘now that’s a
lot of people for a Saturday,’”
Kilpatrick said. Pamela Bland
said she shops at E W Thomas
“every now and then.”
“I was on my way home and
I wanted a watermelon so I
thought, ‘let’s see what they have
that’s nice,” Bland said.

produce bins. She admits
she only shops at the store
occasionally.
“It’s my run-in-and-pickup-milk kind of store,”
Catlett said. She was on
Facebook and saw the call
for the cash mob. That’s
when she decided to stop
in and buy some fresh
produce.
Cindy Anderson also got
an invitation on Facebook.
“E W Thomas has been such
a wonderful support to the
community so I wanted to
support them,” Anderson
said.

Thomas said.
Others wanted to be a part of the

It was clear the support touched

FAST bests Forest Lakes
CONTRIBUTED BY DIANA BOWEN
Another swim meet quickly rolled
by as Fluvanna Aquatics Sports Team
and Forest Lakes Swim Team competed against each other last week. Not
only did both teams have great spirit,
but they also showed their pride of being a part of America, celebrating the
birth of our nation. Both teams were

covered in red, white, and blue to help
celebrate Independence Day. FAST’s
own Ben Nalle even opened with the
“Star-Spangled Banner.” At the end of
the night, Fluvanna improved to 2-1 in
Division I with a score of 569 to best
Forest Lake’s 525.
In the boys’ 25 meter freestyle improvements were earned by several
Fluvanna swimmers: Braeden Garrett
dropped 4.94 seconds just missing a
gold time standard, Mitch Messier improved 13.93 seconds, and teammates
Paul Cumiskey, Josh Shiner, and Ahmad
Woodson also all improved. In the six
and under 25 freestyle Matthew Wright
dropped 13.13 seconds and Cole Owen
dropped 1.41 seconds to finish first for
the makos. The eight and under girls
also showed great improvement with
Alexa John Hudock, Elie Miles, Reagan
McAdams, Dallas Bailey, and Abigail
Kimble all improving in the 25 meter
freestyle. Aidan Johnson, 12, swam a
personal best of 33.90 in his 50 meter
freestyle to achieve his first gold time
standard. Aidan’s twin brother Aaron
Johnson also improved by 2.05 seconds in his 50 meter freestyle.
Jackson Hopkins dropped a total of
15.91 seconds in the 25 meter breaststroke finishing with a final time of
35.84. This was quite an accomplishment for Jackson because the 25 meter

breaststroke is considered an eight and
under event. Hopkins teamed up with
Owen, John Smeds and Liam Wells to
win the opening relay for the Makos.
Huge time improvements were not only
for FAST’s younger swimmers: Hayley
Kline improved 2.99 seconds, Anthony
Harlowe improved 4.91 seconds and
Alex Scalzo improved 4.06 seconds all
in the 100 meter freestyle. In the 9 –
10 girls 100 meter freestyle cast-free
Emma DiFazio improved 10.97 seconds
in her race and teammate Skyler Solga
dropped 12.99 seconds the same event.
DiFazio also improved in the 50 meter
breaststroke along with teammates Jocelyn Notman (3.78 seconds) and Lily
Hopkins (1.91 seconds).
Overall, the Makos posted more than
125 time improvements during the
meet. The Makos hope to improve individually and as a team as they face the
Farmington Frogs next week at Farmington.
Boy and dad head to Africa
BY DAVID STEMPLE
CORRESPONDENT
Isaiah Bourne is not your average
10-year-old. He’s headed for Africa.
He said he wants to “go to Africa with
daddy to help build a church and get a
shot for yellow fever.”
His mom Tami, is surprised at his wish.
“How many 10-year-olds ask for and want
to get shots from the doctor?” Isaiah’s father Charlie, who with his wife Tami own
B&W Auto Body in Charlottesville, has
been going to Liberia for several years
as part of one of Effort Baptist Church’s
yearly mission trips. But this year the trip
will be much different.
From July 17 to August 16 – with the
blessing of Effort Baptist Church – Charlie
and Isaiah will be flying 26 hours to Liberia to help build and finish a church outside of Monrovia, the capital of Liberia.
In order to be part of overseas mission
trips with Effort, one of the criteria is that
you have to be 18 years or older, but since
this is not an official church sponsored
mission trip Isaiah is able to go. Charlie
said “that Effort has given their blessing
for the two of us to go and help build this
church.”
The impetus for Isaiah was a story he
heard from his dad of a man named Gabriel who used to be a general in the rebel army. Gabriel found Jesus and is now
a pastor. His present church is made of
bamboo poles for the walls, and an old
rusted out tin roof. Isaiah got the idea
that he could save aluminum cans and the
money that he raised from them (which
fetch between 45 and 55 cents a pound)
and the money could be given to Pastor
Gabriel. Isaiah also thought he could go
there himself and help build the church.
They have been planning this trip for
some time and have already sent over
two shipments which contained two large
soccer goals (one of Isaiah’s hobbies includes soccer, along with swimming and
reading), lumber for the roof plus the food
and supplies they will use while there.
Charlie and Tami’s business donated
the funds to buy pressure treated lumber
that has been sent over for the project,
along with generators and power tools
which will be used not only on this trip

but many trips to come. It cost more to
buy the lumber in the U.S. and ship it
over, but it is a far better product and will
last longer than the local product which is
usually rough cut with a chain saw from a
harvested tree.
“From a previous roofing project that
was done while we were there, their lumber is not straight and in a few years will
been eaten by the termites so the cost difference is well worth it for the life of the
building” Charlie said.
So far Isaiah has raised $2,390.70 from
donations and collecting cans. It will
cost $1,300 to put the four walls up and
$1,200 for the metal for the roof – that
doesn’t include the cost for wiring and
finishing the ceiling and walls. The trip itself will cost approx $4,000 just for Isaiah
to make which includes the flight, food
and lodging. His father Charlie thinks
they are about $5,000 from the ultimate
goal of where they want to be to fully finish the project and fully help the church
and its mission.
Once Pastor Gabriel had heard that Isaiah was collecting the money for their
church and that he and Charlie would be
coming over to help them work on the
church, they started building mud bricks
for the walls.
Anyone who would like to get involved
in this project or any of the future Effort
Baptist Church Mission projects can con-
tact Charlie or Tami at 434-295-3135 or
[email protected] or Effort Church itself. Checks or cash can
be given towards the Mission Fund with
100% of the funds going directly to the
mission project. If you would like to make
a donation directly for this project you
can make the check out directly to Isaiah Bourne, and mail to B&W Auto Body
1309 Belleview Avenue, Charlottesville,VA
22901 or you make the check out to Effort
Baptist Church and put Isaiah Bourne/Liberia in the memo line, and mail to Effort Baptist Church 7820 Thomas Jefferson Parkway, Palmyra, VA 22963, or drop
them by the church office. Also if you are
interested in learning about or having a
presentation on this project and or others
the church has done in the past they are
more than happy to come speak to you,
your church or civic group.
And while Isaiah was very shy during
his interview for this story his parents
both said they are very excited, over
whelmed and proud of him for wanting
to make a difference. Isaiah is not only
looking forward to going to Liberia but going to the recycling center to collect the
money for the pickup truck load of cans
that he recently collected. He also hopes,
while in Liberia to go the orphanages and
have fun days with soccer games and
clinics with the kids. He will have pictures
to share when he comes home.

Erin Edgerton won Best In Show.

FENCED YARD
BY PAGE H. GIFFORD
CORRESPONDENT
There were not many entries in this years’ annual photo contest sponsored by
Fluvanna County Parks and Recreation but those who participated showed some
awe-inspiring work including Erin Edgerton, one of the youngest entrants at age
15.
Out of the five photographers, Edgerton took most of the awards and won Best In
Show for her sunset in a wheat field. Also, worth mentioning was Hella Viola’s (Best
in Show last year) expansive field littered with purple flowers – the colors popped
and drew the viewer to her peaceful landscape in the mature category. Her photo
was one of two of her first place winners.
David Durovy also had quite a few photos featured and tied with Bob Kruse in the
nature category but Kruse got the deciding vote. However, Durovy’s Horton Winery
photo won hands down with the judges and FCPR staff in the agriculture category.
His strong sense of pattern, line, color, lighting and the angles he shot the photo at
were flawless.
Susan Durovy also had a few photos displayed but it was Edgerton who shined in
every category with her sharp eye for color and natural light, she shows enormous
promise in the field of photography.
Overall she gave substance and meaning to her subjects, from the crystal clear
turquoise blue bottom of a glass jar to her award winning wheat field, capturing the
last glint of light fading out of sight over the wheat standing tall and strong. One
shot of a dog racing along the ground made him appear as if he was flying. Fast
motion photography is difficult and Edgerton proved she can do it.
Kudos to all those that participate and the judges hope that next year more will
enter and display their work. They look forward to seeing all those who participated
in this years’ show to return next year.

Leslie Walters, Jake Buonomo and Taylor Walters
4-Hers tapped as All Stars
CONTRIBUTED BY KRISTIN THOMSON
CLUB HISTORIAN
On June 26, during the 93rd Virginia
4-H State Congress at Virginia Tech, three
members of the Horse ‘N’ Around 4-H
Club were tapped in as 4-H All Stars.
Congratulations to Leslie Walters, Jake
Buonomo, and Taylor Walters for achieving such a highly honorable accomplishment as 4-Hers.
So what is a 4-H All Star? The All Star
program was started in August of 1922,
when West Virginian All Star initiated
12 Virginians who met and formed the
first Virginia All Star Organization. The
Virginia chapter of the 4-H All Star program is service oriented and volunteer
operated. Membership into the All Star
program is the highest recognition that a
Virginia 4-Her can achieve. Since 1922,
over 9,000 All Stars have been tapped in!
The All Star program is circled around
the idea of service to your community
and others. This program helps to open
other service related projects throughout
Beautiful
Smiles
the 4-Hers life. The All Star program encourages 4-hers to extend their service
not only inside the 4-H commonwealth
but also at home, school, church, and
to their entire community. The Virginia
chapter of 4-H All Stars is a tremendous
source of both teen and adult leaders
who are actively involved in expanding
and enhancing the 4-H program throughout the commonwealth.
Becoming an All Star helps members
stay connected with old friends, and continue to make new ones throughout their
life.
Leslie, Taylor and Jake worked very
hard to be chosen to become All Stars as
only six people from each district may
be sent to the next level of 4-Hers; an All
Star! The Horse ‘N’ Around Club would
like to say congratulations to Taylor, Jake
and Leslie for such wonderful work.
Great job guys, and keep up the amazing
work. For more information on the Horse
‘N’ Around 4-H Club, please contact Kim
Mayo at the extension office at 591-1950.
