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.” bob’s p o t k c bla l sea Frank Brown.

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. Jo Anna Chacho Palmyra 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.

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 C RU I S E W I T H T H E 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? Paul Bergeron Lake Monticello BAY .c o m A ew . V YR 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. We cannot dig out of a hole with deficit os Sour grapes? spending to prosperity. Those who do not pay attention to history and past failures are doomed to repeat them. My opinion is not put the cart before the horse and let anyone willing to come invest their money and not ask us 59 P AL to fund anything until M OX B A . 2 2963 a true return on investment starts hitting the county`s bank account. Families, save @ vi flu v a n n ar e your money for that $8 million a year debt service we will owe until infinity. We have that new high school and now have to pay, how`s that working for you? Adrian Miller Palmyra c a rl 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 Dr. Jesse Bejar Dr. Erin Davis (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. www.xroadsanimalhospital.com Month of July 15% Off Spay & Neutering Discount off regular price.

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.

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.” For more information on VDFP and to find the Louisa study go to: http://vdfp.us/virginia_fire_services_board/ vfsb_studies.htm 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.

July 12, 2012 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | 11 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 BY RUTHANN CARR 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.

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.

Both teams were Ben Nalle opened the swim meet with the “Star-Spangled Banner.” 14 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | July 12, 2012 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 Abigail Brown, Brin Kuzemka, Emma DiFazio and Megan Harlow.

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 264 Turkeysag Trail # A Hours: 7 a.m.-11 p.m. (434) 589-5538 SHOP, SWIPE AND SAVE!

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.

CUSTOM HOME TAYLOR LYN CONSTRUCTION Erin Edgerton won Best In Show. Edgerton shines in photo contest 5 Chip Court • $279,900 32 Nahor Drive • $179,000 WALK TO PARK 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. 885 Jefferson Drive $149,000 33 Begum Road $219,000 RENTAL GREAT BACKYARD 7 Riverside Drive $157,900 14 Club Lane $1350/month Questions or need full rentals list, call Lisa!

That’s Okay... 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.
