December 13, 2012
Mike Himes, Fluvanna Habitat’s president and construction supervisor,
with many of the Habitat crew.
The Fluvanna County Habitat for Humanity dedicated its 15th house in Fluvanna County on Dec. 2 in memoriam
of a Fluvanna County resident who
tragically died too young.
Brent Hawkins, 29, was traveling
with his wife and young daughter on
Rt. 460 on July 29 of 2011 when a tree
fell on top of the car. His wife and
daughter survived the accident, but
Brent did not.
Brent had been very involved with Habitat for Humanity at Virginia Tech, and his
widow, Bernadette, as well as Brent’s parents and siblings wanted something positive to come out of the tragedy. Through
Bernadette’s pastor, the Rev. Ken Albright
from Grace and Glory Lutheran Church,
and Fluvanna Habitat, a collaborative effort was formed.
Brent’s family and friends came together with Habitat’s construction crew
and worked for two months to build
the Habitat house. According to Mike
Himes, Fluvanna Habitat’s president
and construction supervisor, “it was
the most meaningful build the organization has ever done, and the family
was amazing. The energy and passion
they brought to the worksite everyday
was inspirational.”
About thirty of Brent’s family
members and friends attended the
dedication, along with many of the
Habitat crew. The day was bittersweet for the family, who marveled
at the final product, and often said
how much Brent would have liked
it. During the opening prayer at the
dedication, Reverend Albright said,
“Death does not have the final word,
love does.”
A plaque attached to the outside
shutter of the home reads, “Built on a
foundation of love and memories, this
house is dedicated to Fluvanna County
resident Brent Hawkins, who tragically
died in a car accident in 2011 at age 29.
Brent’s passion for Habitat for Humanity inspired his family and friends to
come together and build this home in
his honor.”
The house, located in Habitat’s new
Cedar Ridge Subdivision, is the first of
five houses to be completed in the subdivision. A family has not yet been chosen to live in the home.

For over 10 years the local Boy Scout
Troop 138 has been selling Christmas
trees in and around Lake Monticello.
The troop has grown over the years and
the important Scouting tradition continues, not only because the activity
has been part of its history but because
it does so much more within The Boy
Scouts of America. The goal is to provide programs for young people that

ing Christmas trees
do that? The Search
Institute has identified forty building
blocks of healthy development that
help young people grow up healthy,
caring, and responsible. Here are just
some of those blocks that Scouts experience with the Christmas tree project:
Support- Not only do Scouts work with
their parents, who provide high levels
of support, but they receive support
from other non-parent adults and caring neighbors.
Empowerment- Scouts perceive that
adults in the community value youth
as they are given useful roles in the
community and learn to feel safe in the
neighborhood.
Boundaries and expectations- Selling
Christmas trees is another example of
clear rules and expectations being established and monitored, and where
these young people have to model responsible behavior, and where that behavior is encouraged.
Constructive use of time- These
young people spend several hours per
week in an activity with friends within
their community.
Commitment to learning- In preparation for selling Christmas trees, some
Scouts
worked
towards
their
Salesmanship
Merit Badge, and
learned
about
various sales techniques.
During
their shifts, they get to put this
into practice as they interact with the
members of our community.
Positive values- And selling Christmas trees teaches them about being
caring, having integrity, being honest
and responsible.
Social competencies- While selling
trees, young scouts learn about sensitivity, and being comfortable with
people of different ages and cultural/
ethnic/ racial backgrounds.
Positive identity- Through the selling
of Christmas trees, these Scouts learn
about personal power, get a sense that
they have a purpose and learn to be
optimistic. After all, the money they
raise will help them pay their own fees
for summer camp, or help them buy
needed outdoor gear, or new uniforms.
We are grateful to be in a community
that has supported our scouts!

Uranium mining risky
If gambling is ingrained in the human genome, the legislators of Virginia
will have a grand opportunity to prove
it by putting at risk our environment
and our health with one swift roll of
the dice. Early next year the Virginia
legislature will consider a proposal to
lift the state’s 30-year ban on uranium
mining. The line has been drawn between Virginia Uranium Inc. (and its
119 million-pound uranium deposit in
Pittsylvania County said to be worth
about $7 billion) and residents, city
councils and environmental groups
such as the Sierra Club and the Southern Environmental Law Center.
The 30-year ban has been in place
for several reasons. The primary reason is this: radioactive uranium waste.
The milling process creates radioactive
waste that lasts for thousands of years
that would be stored in underground
sites similar to landfills. Del. Donald W.
Merricks, R-Pittsylvania, is concerned
about the accidental release of this
waste and said, “We are talking about
maintaining in reality a Superfund
waste site forever. Forever’s a long time,
and quite frankly I do not believe there
Goodwill store opening in spring
allow people to reach and maintain a
level of independence. These programs
are funded through the collection and
sale of the donated items in their thrift
stores as well as financial support from
individual and corporate donors.
The centerpiece of Goodwill’s mission
is the industrial services they offer to
business and industry, which provides the
training and employment opportunities
for individuals participating in our
workforce development programs.
Goodwill stores are open in about 31
counties and 14 cities just in the Shenandoah
Valley region alone. Albemarle County has two
Goodwill stores while Louisa has one store.

A Goodwill store is under construction
behind the shopping center at Turkey Sag
Trail and will be completed in the spring,
with a grand opening planned for May.
“It will be 12,000 square feet with
9,500 square feet of sales floor with a
drive through donation center,” said Lucie
Touchton -marketing manager, Goodwill
Industries of the Valleys. She adds that
this store will create fifteen new jobs.
Goodwill Industries of the Valleys is
a non-profit organization committed
to helping people with disabilities
overcome disadvantages and roadblocks
to employment. They help by providing
workforce development programs that
are enough bonds floating around (to)
provide the necessary assurances for
our citizens in case of a breach.”
Due to the potential of extensive
flooding from hurricanes and naturally
occurring flooding, Virginia Beach conducted their own study of the risks of
uranium mining in nearby Pittsylvania
County. As a result of the study, Virginia
Beach City Council passed a resolution
opposing uranium mining in Virginia.
Chesapeake City also passed a resolution in support of the existing ban.
Which side has your support? Profits and potential jobs or health, safety
and environmental concerns? I choose
the health and safety of future generations every time we roll the dice.
Especially today as a 7.3 magnitude
earthquake has struck off the coast of
Japan. Mother Nature is both unpredictable and emboldened by the ever
rising ocean levels and global temperature averages and melting sea ice in
the Arctic. Man-made catastrophes appear to be the wave of the future.

Fiscal cliff may hurt
“most needy” in Fluvanna
BY KRISTIN SANCKEN, CORRESPONDENT
Stories coming include Christmas
bikes collected as presents by a
local law firm and a story on a Lake
Monticello house lit up to music which
will probably be the cover. I forwarded
the photos from OT of the house. I’ll
be in Monday morning around 10 and
will edit and ship the stories to you
soon after.
Does the term “fiscal cliff” sound
familiar? By the appearance of the
posturing of congress, we’re about to
dive bomb over it, Thelma and Louise
style.
The fiscal cliff is a newly coined term
referring to the effect of a number of laws
that could result in tax increases, spending
cuts, and a corresponding reduction
in the U.S. budget deficit beginning in
2013. The spending reduction elements
of the fiscal cliff are primarily contained
within the Budget Control Act of 2011,
which directed that both defense and
non-defense discretionary spending be
reduced by “sequestration” if Congress
was unable to agree on other spending
cuts of similar size. Remember that word
– “sequestration” – because Fluvanna
county government officials are planning
for it.
Both the Fluvanna County Board
of Supervisors and the Fluvanna
County School Board expect that the
Republicans and the Democrats in
Washington won’t be able to come to an
agreement in time, and sequestration
will take place.
Sequestration will affect all Title
I grants and Carl Perkins funding
for Career and Technical education
programs. Title I funds are geared
towards programs that improve
economic
achievement
of
the
disadvantaged. The affect on the
Fluvanna County Schools Budget will
be a reduction of about $160,000 to
$190,000 in 2013.
Assistant Superintendent Chuck
Winkler pointed out that the loss of
Title I funds will disproportionately
affect “the most needy children” in
Fluvanna.
“Will local government be asked to
cover these cuts in funds, or will it be
discussed whether or not it’s worth
continuing?” Board of Supervisors
Chair Shaun Kenney asked Fluvanna
Schools Superintendent Gena Keller
at Wednesday’s (Dec. 5) budget work
session.
“When we talk about restructuring we
have to look at the impact of the loss of
those funds and loss of that service for
children and their teachers. The board
made it a priority as we built our budget
to make sure we provide funding for
literacy – to instill a love of reading so
they read to learn. We need to maintain
services that the data shows works,”
said Keller.
“But it’s not mandated,” said
Supervisor Donald Weaver.
“Well, it’s a lot more than just pulling
the funding away and say ‘sorry, figure
it out’,” said School Board Chair Camilla
Washington.
“But, that’s basically what the
federal government is saying though,
that it’s up to us,” said Supervisor Bob
Ullenbruch.
“We allow people to change their
minds. We can’t function when
everybody’s mind is made up,”
said School Board Member Bertha
Armstrong.
“Why don’t you try that in
Washington?” said Weaver.
“Let’s start in Fluvanna,” concluded
Kenney.
Correction: Because of an editing error, Trilbie Knap’s name was misspelled in
last week’s issue in a story about a Fluvanna art show.

School board, supervisors discuss budget

“Well, I’m glad we can dispel that
myth,” said Kenney.
Keller’s presentation focused on
the requirements of the upcoming
budget, including funding cuts from
state and federal sources and a history
of Standards of Quality (SOQs),
which are minimum educational
standards set by the Virginia Board
of Education in 1971.
On Friday (Nov. 30) the Virginia
Department of Education released
four new SOQ requirements, which
increase staff to student ratios for
reading specialists, math specialists,
educational data coordinators, and
assistant principals.
“If there aren’t new funds for that,
then some funds are going to have to
be acquired,” said Keller.
“You can apply to the General
Assembly for variance, which
northern Virginia has done,” said
Kenney.
Keller
also
presented
the
supervisors a list of the potential
cuts to make up for the $985,000
the school board agreed to cut next
year in exchange for the $300,000
in supplemental funds they received
CO.
It seems that in the holiday season
even the Fluvanna County Board
of Supervisors and the Fluvanna
County School Board are willing
to put differences aside and show
goodwill.
The two boards met for a budget
work session on Wednesday (Dec.
5) to discuss how they might work
together during the upcoming budget
season.
“To be honest, we didn’t do this last
year,” said Supervisor Bob Ullenbruch.
“I don’t think I’ve changed my mind,
but I’ve opened by mind. I could have
sat here with an attitude and not
listened to anything, but it’s a learning
thing.”
Superintendent Gena Keller and
chair of the School Board, Camilla
Washington, thanked the Board of
Supervisors for its recent $300,000
allocation of funds to prevent teacher
furlough days.
“We are truly grateful for those
funds. Our staff has been hurting and
feeling the pain and our students have
too as they come into those building
day to day,” said Washington.
However, while the scene was
comfortable, it was not without
disagreement.
“Can you tell me why the school
will not permit donations of
instructional supplies?” asked Chair
of the Board of Supervisors, Shaun
Kenney.
“Oh that’s not true!” said Keller.
“We spent most of September and
October outlining how you could
contribute. We’ve had specific people
make private donations to activity
funds; one person literally donated
1,000 glue sticks. We do what we
need to do right now to help our
teachers and children get what they
need.”

for only
school building in the future, if
Cunningham and Columbia close.
“Well, Louisa built a new
elementary school and paid cash
for it,” said Ullenbruch.
“How would we do that Bob?”
said Supervisor Joe Chesser.
“That water pipeline. There’s
going to be a significant impact on
us if we’re going to be able to afford
it,” said Kenney.
In the end, members of each
board thanked each other for taking
the time to meet.
“We’ve been operating under
fire overhead, and this is truly
refreshing,” said School Board
member Carol Tracy Carr.
“That’s because the hard part
hasn’t happened yet,” said County
Administrator Steve Nichols. “We
haven’t had to pass a budget.”
The two boards will meet again
in February for another budget
work session, after the federal and
state budgets are clarified.

last week. The cuts included
increasing the pay-to-participate
fee for athletics from $60 to $75,
restructuring alternative education,
eliminating up to eight positions, and
closing Columbia and Cunningham
elementary.
“This list of cost reductions is very
good, it’s precisely what I wanted to
see,” said Kenney. “I would strongly
urge each of you [to look at these],
because until we get economic
development off the ground locally,
the only ones that are going to come
to our rescue is ourselves.”
The School Board warned the
supervisors that if both of the
smaller elementary schools close,
there would be a need for a new
elementary school in three to four
years.
“When we talked two weeks ago,
we were talking about $985,000 in
cuts. Cunningham and Columbia
will have to be a part of that. My
understanding is that that was
pretty much etched in stone,” said
Ullenbruch.
Both boards discussed how they

Getting a head start to a healthy life
BY VALERIE DAVIS, CORRESPONDENT
Fluvanna County has its own Captain
Kirk, but her mission is more down-toearth and has remained on the same
course for nearly 40 years. The retired
educator is working harder than ever to
promote the importance of physical exercise and healthy eating habits – lifestyle
choices that begin in early childhood.
Lake Monticello resident Regina
Kirk was recently selected to serve as
president-elect of the Virginia Association for Health, Physical Education,
Recreation, and Dance (VAHPERD) at
the organization’s annual state conven-
tion, held in Roanoke in November. The
professional association of educators
offers workshops, recognizes outstanding teachers, and encourages collaboration to create quality health curricula
throughout Virginia.
“I’ve been an advocate for health and
physical education my entire life,” said
Kirk. “Education is the key. We want people to live not just long lives, but healthier lives. Our goal is to see people remain
physically active for a lifetime.”
Healthy habits, like daily exercise and a
nutritional diet, are developed when chil-

dren are young. Because of the alarming rise in childhood obesity, Kirk said
schools across the nation have shifted
their physical education focus to wellness
programs. While traditional sports are
not for everyone, all children are encouraged to remain physically active through
walking, running, or other interests.
According to statistics from the Center
for Disease Control website, childhood
obesity in the United States has more
than tripled in the past 30 years. For children aged 6-11, the percentage increased
from 7% in 1980 to nearly 20% in 2008.
The percentage of adolescents aged 12–
19 years who were obese grew from 5%
to 18% during that same time period.
Kirk believes a variety of factors are
contributing to the sharp rise in obesity
among children and teenagers – our fast
food culture, video games and computers, more children staying indoors due
to safety concerns, and less parental supervision.
“These days both parents have to work
and are away from home, or children are
living in a one-parent household and that
parent has to work. You don’t see children playing outside like they used to, so
we are encouraging children to do physical activities at school that they once did
at home,” explained Kirk.
“We have to make exercise attractive to
children, whatever age they are. One way
to do this is to promote physical education, to make it a game, to make it fun,”
she said.
Kirk spent the bulk of her distinguished 36-year career with the Albemarle County school system, and during
her tenure she sought to make physical
education fun. She taught health and
physical education courses at Jack Jouett
Middle School and coached the girl’s field
hockey and basketball teams at Albemarle County High School.
For the last 16 years, she worked in
the central office as instructional coordinator for health and physical education
and was responsible for developing and
implementing health-related curriculum
in the county’s 25 schools.
The famous nickname became a part
of Kirk’s persona when she coached the
field hockey team.
“I am a Star Trek fan, and the show
was very popular in my early teaching
and coaching career,” said Kirk. “The kids
would call out my name on the field, and
they would say, ‘Hey, Captain Kirk.’ Then
my colleagues started calling me that.”
She retired from Albemarle County in
2009, but found that her self-proclaimed
Type-A personality would not permit
her to sit still for long. Henrico County
received a $1.3 million PEP grant for
physical education, and Kirk came on
board to oversee implementation of the
three-year program.
In addition, Kirk is an adjunct professor for Virginia Commonwealth University and Old Dominion University, working
in another role that she enjoys – supervising and developing student teachers.
The PEP-funded program in Henrico
County concludes in December, and the
student teacher she supervises at ODU
Regina Kirk is president-elect of the
Virginia Association for Health,
Physical Education, Recreation,
and Dance (VAHPERD).
graduates in December, so Kirk says
she will be “totally retired” as of Jan. 1.
That will give her more time to devote
to her new challenge as president-elect
of VAHPERD.
Although she has been a member of
VAHPERD for many years, Kirk decided to
take a more active role about 12 years ago.
Her leadership positions have included
serving on the board of directors as vice
president for both the recreation and the
physical education divisions. Friends encouraged her to seek the post of presidentelect for the organization this year. The
rotation is set up as a three-year term in
which Kirk will serve as president-elect in
2013, president in 2014, and past president the following year.
The Virginia group and its parent organization, the American Alliance for
Health, Physical Education, Recreation,
and Dance, partner with the American
Heart Association to educate schoolchildren about the importance of maintaining a healthy heart. Through programs
such as Hoops for Heart and Jump Rope
for Heart, students in the Commonwealth participate in physical activity
and help raise funds to combat heart
disease and stroke.
Kirk admits she had to take a dose of
her own medicine about three years ago
when the doctor told her she had to make
some healthy heart changes.
“I was obese. I changed my diet and
cut out the fast food,” said Kirk, who lost
55 pounds in nine months. “I still eat
things like ice cream and chocolate, but
I have them in moderation.”
Educating children about the benefits
of exercise and healthy eating are crucial, but Kirk feels the first place to learn
these lifelong behaviors is at home. She
advocates everyone – parents, schools,
and the community – working together
to improve the health of America’s kids.
“We have made strides to address this
issue, but it will take a concerted effort
by everyone,” said Kirk. “Parents must
encourage their children to be active.
The schools must challenge kids to find
something they like to do. Businesses
must improve their options for healthy
food. This is not something that any one
group can solve.”

Fluvanna Community Singers
bring back Christmas spirit
The theme for this years’ annual holiday concert on Sunday afternoon (Dec.
10), featuring the Fluvanna Community
Singers, was Gloria. Gloria, a complex
classical five part piece of music by Antonio Vivaldi, was beautifully executed
by the singers with Director Horace
Scruggs, leading them. A grueling piece
sung in Latin, the singers performed it
with effortless grace, impressing the
nearly full theater of listeners.
The second half of the concert was
lighter and more in keeping with the
Christmas spirit, punctuated by an
audience sing-a-long and a surprise
appearance from Santa. Little known
songs, including It’s Christmas and
Grown-Up Christmas List were a refreshing departure from the familiar
Christmas fare. Grown-Up Christmas
List has a poignant meaning, looking
at the holiday from a different perspective, rather than the whimsical desires
of children.
Scruggs caps off the concert with his
signature arrangements and rounds in
Dashing Through The Snow ( a jazzy
version of Jingle Bells). Then finishes
with Kirby Shaw’s Big Band Santa, a
swinging jingle the chorus clearly enjoyed singing.
One can see the effort and commitment that Scruggs and the Fluvanna
Community Singers puts into every
concert, making it unique. Here he begins with the solemn and reverent Gloria then moves into a higher-gear with
Dashing Through The Snow and Big
Band Santa, always giving every concert a brand new attitude and this one
seem to blend the somber beauty and
the reason for celebration to the upbeat
spirit and fun of the season.
The singers say Scruggs has something planned for the 2013 spring concert that is sure to bring audiences back
for another powerhouse performance.

A
bout half the population of
Fluvanna County lives behind
the gates of Monticello. If you
aren’t one of them, now is the time to
phone a friend to let you in.
Inside those gates at 4 Lewis Court
you’ll find perhaps the best Christmas
light show in the whole county.
Jeff Spinello and his wife Leslie Spinello
have been decorating their house for
both Halloween and Christmas for years.
And all that time Jeff Spinello (let’s face it,
this is his baby) wanted to do a light show
set to music. It took a health scare in August
to make him realize life is too short. Get
what you want when you want it.
“I always wanted a system like this but
I never pried open the wallet before,”
Spinello said. “Now that I’ve bought it, I
have absolutely no regrets.”
This system is from a business in Ohio
called Animated Lighting. The some
60,000 lights arranged around Spinello’s
two-story home and wooded property go
off and on, change color and different
displays light up to the music of 10
different Christmas favorites like Little
Drummer Boy, Carole of the Bells and the
theme to A Charlie Brown Christmas.
Spinello even went the extra mile and
had the company program the system
rather than doing it himself.
“It can take up to 20 hours to program
one song,” he said.
This is the same company that puts on
the Christmas light and music show at
Rockefeller Center, Spinello said.
PHOTOS BY O.T. HOLEN
He has small sound system playing the
music – not too loud, just loud enough
for people in front of his house to hear it.
But if the weather outside is frightful,
you can stay in your car, turn your
FM radio to 88.1 and enjoy the songs
snuggling with your honey.
That’s what Rob and Heather Maloney
did Saturday night. Rob Maloney said he
and his family had come to see Spinello’s
light show each night for the past eight
nights.
“We drive around the Lake to see the
lights but there’s nothing like this,” said
Rob Maloney as his four kids, ages 1 to 6
oohed and ahhed from the back seat.
Spinello said it took him 15 hours just
to draw up the layout. He said his lawn
looks like a bowl of spaghetti with 2800
feet of extension cords snaking through
the grass. Each extension cord is labeled
at each end so he can find a problem
easily.
Every year after Christmas, Spinello
sends out his network of friends and
family throughout the United States to
buy discounted extension cords.
“We wait until they’re 75 percent
off,” he said. “Last year my dad out in
California picked up 7,000 feet for me.”
All the lights are LED so Spinello’s
electric bill isn’t as high as you might
think.
“Before I got the LED lights our bill
would be a couple hundred dollars more,
but now it’s only about $100 more,” he
said. “The lights aren’t all on at the same
Homeowner Jeff Spinello and his dog Molly.
time; they’re constantly flashing. Plus
LED lights only use a fraction of the
power as regular bulbs.”
Lewis Court is a short street that ends in
a cul-de-sac. Spinello said his neighbors
are all pretty good about his hobby.
“The lights don’t bother them, just the
traffic some time,” he said.
Spinello said next year he’d like to
partner with a local charity so people
who want to show their appreciation can
donate at his light show. As it is, Spinello
said it’s not unusual to come out on his
porch and find a plate of cookies or a
note of thanks.
“We don’t have children,” he said. “It’s
just something we love to do.”
The lights are on from 5 – 9:45 p.m.
every night from now until the first of the
year.

Fluvanna 4H holds awards ceremony
Each year those involved in Fluvanna’s
4H clubs celebrate the achievements of
the children and thank the organization’s adult volunteers.
Friday evening, (Dec. 7) hard-working
4H’ers gathered at Carysbrook Elementary for a pot-luck dinner and recognition
ceremony.
More than 250 children are enrolled
in 4H’s many clubs, but more than 1,200
Fluvanna children benefit from 4H sponsored events, said Kim Mayo, Fluvanna’s
4H extension agent.
According to the website, 4H “is a comprehensive program for youth ages 5 to
18 to engage in hands-on learning experiences. Members learn essential life
skills such as how to make decisions,
manage resources, work with others,
and use effective communication while
developing into contributing citizens.”
Even the youngest children, who are
involved in the Cloverbuds (K through 2)
are involved in learning and service projects. This year they put together a food
basket, adopted a family at Christmas
and at Cloverbud Camp, learned about
butterflies, snakes and Venus flytraps.
Many of the clubs, especially for older
children, surround interests in livestock
and horses. But that’s not the only thing
4H members do.
The newest club, a shooting club, began in the spring, said Cindy Bickley, one
of the adult volunteers.
“My son had no interest in livestock

The club now has seven certified instructors and will begin shooting again

The Horse ‘N’ Around club has a history of doing well in state competitions
and this year was no exception. Every
Fluvanna member who competed at the
2012 Virginia State 4-H Championship
Horse and Pony Show at the Virginia
Horse Center in Lexington left the show
grounds with a ribbon.
But ask any of the students and parents what 4H most gives a child and the
answer is confidence.
Kim Haislip is a volunteer leader. Her
daughter, McKenzie Haislip, 18, is a senior at Fluvanna High School.
“She’s a wonderful public speaker
and has tremendous leadership skills,”
Haislip said of her daughter. “She thinks
about how what she does affects others.
I know her involvement in 4H will be instrumental in her being accepted in the
schools of her choice.”
Haislip said 4H even inspired her
daughter’s career choice. McKenzie
wants to become a teacher and ultimately a middle school guidance counselor.
Working at 4H camp with youth planted
that seed, Haislip said.
Jake Buonomo, 17, is a senior at Fluvanna High School. He has a state-level
position as the northern district ambassador, is a 4H All Star and was awarded
a special team leader award at Friday’s
ceremony. As an ambassador, he spent a
day at the state capital, met Del. Rob Bell
(R-58th) and Governor Bob McDonnell.
Leslie Walters, 16, is a sophomore at Fluvanna High School. She was voted a 4H
All Star, one of a group of teens who are
actively involved in expanding 4H programs throughout Virginia.
Walters said her enthusiasm for 4H
helped her earn a coveted spot in the
Governor’s School.
Only 15 rising 9th graders are chosen
for the collaborative learning community that emphasizes service, leadership
and development of skills necessary for
success in the 21st century. The focus is
on math, science and technology and
the application process is rigorous.
Not only must a student have recommendations from her math and science
teachers, but from another adult not related to the student. Walters had to take a
test and be interviewed.
“I didn’t do so well on the tests,” she
said.
But during the interview, she was
asked, “What is something in you life
that taught you leadership?” and with
that, Walters took off.
“I went on and on about 4H and what
it has taught me,” Walters said. “They
said the reason I got in was because of
my excellent interview. 4H has taught
me so much. It’s like my family.”

Supervisors hear startling statistics on the health of its citizens
A health expert asked the Fluvanna
County Board of Supervisors Wednesday (Dec. 5) to kickoff a health campaign in the face of statistics showing
Fluvanna citizens are facing above average health problems.
Dr. Lillian Peake presented the Board
with the results of a Community Health
Assessment.
Peake, the director of the Thomas Jefferson Health District, said that:
• As of 2008, 28.3 percent of Fluvanna adults are obese.
• Between 2000 and 2010, Fluvanna’s citizens discharged from hospitals for diabetes rose above the
state average.
• 33.3 percent of those surveyed
thought alcohol or drug use needed
more attention as a public health
concern.
• There are no psychiatrists in Fluvanna, only two licensed therapists
and only one practice serving youth.
• Between 2007 and 2011, Fluvanna
ranked higher than the state average in school violence in the categories of altercations, drug violations and threats.
• Drug arrests peaked between 2005
and 2007 and have steadily gone
down except for a slight uptick between 2009 and 2011.
• In 2011, just fewer than 12 percent
of all Fluvanna motor-vehicle crashes were alcohol related compared to
8 percent in Virginia as a whole.
• Infant mortality rates among blacks
in the Thomas Jefferson Health
District have climbed to above
20 deaths per 1,000 live births in
2010 as compared to six deaths per
1,000 live births among whites.
Peake began talking about statistics
regarding the increase in obesity in
the U. S. population as a whole. After
showing her third slide, Supervisor
Bob Ullenbruch (Palmyra) interrupted
Peake and said: “Why are we spending
money and getting involved in people’s
choices?”
Peake said she was presenting the
statistics as an educational tool.
“Educational tools are well and fine, but
having the government involved in people’s consumption of food is going way
above and beyond,” Ullenbruch said.
He said limiting the size of sugary soft
drinks and the like that has happened recently in other states is ridiculous.
“Your points are well taken,” Peake said.
Supervisor Don Weaver (Cunning-
ham) said government telling people
what to eat is why people think the government is too involved in their lives.
“I have strong reservations about
government getting involved in people’s food choices,” Weaver said.
Peake suggested they discuss her report after she finished.
Ullenbruch wanted to know what she
was asking of the Board.
Peake said she hoped after hearing
the information, the Board would join
in an educational campaign to urge citizens to get healthier.
“The leading cause of death is heart
disease,” she said. “I’d love to see you
kick off a ‘Move to Health’ campaign to
encourage people to walk every day.”
As Peake moved through the report,
she gave a statistic on drug and narcotic arrests that showed Fluvanna was far
below those in the Thomas Jefferson
Health District as a whole.
Ullenbruch again broke in.
“That just shows the sheriff’s department is doing a heck of a job,” he said.
Peake agreed.
When Peake’s presentation was finished,
Supervisor Mozell Booker (Fork Union)
commented on the school statistics.
“We’re aware and have been working
with the schools on why people are so
angry,” Booker said. “The drug problem
is mostly prescription drugs. We spend
a lot of money treating these problems.”
Ullenbruch said students have been
doing drugs for at least the past 50 years.
“Now statistics are being kept and
now it’s a problem,” he said.
Peake reiterated her request for the
Board to take a leadership role in a
community health campaign. She
said she would send a follow-up letter
to give them time to think about how
to “protect citizens’ right to privacy
but have opportunities to improve
public health.”

Hola Language Center opens up new worlds for students
Some will make the resolution that
2013 will be the year they learn a language such as French or Italian. Someone said the other day, one of her goals
in the coming year will be to brush up
on her German.
Now there’s a place in Fluvanna to
do just that. Hola Language Center
offers the opportunity to learn Spanish, French, German, Italian and even
English.
“My ultimate goal is to provide language education to my community in
a fun innovative way. I hope that Hola
Language Center sparks an interest in
the county schools, local business and
households,” said Sandra Michalski,
owner and Director of HLC. “Learning
languages in this day in age is a priority. Globalization and the technology
that has been put forth, gives us all the
opportunity to be connected and in
touch with the world.” Not to mention
that experts state that learning a language promotes mental fitness as well.
Born and raised in Spain, where she
taught English, she is now residing at
Lake Monticello with her family. Michalski is passionate about teaching
others about the Spanish language
and culture. She feels that language
and learning about the culture as well,
opens a door into the broader world.
Hola’s Sandra Michalski
“The student is immersed in not
only the language but the culture as
well,” she said. “They learn about the
culture, including customs, food, wine,
and traditions.”
In speaking with Michalski, her effervescence is contagious and even if
one has had dreary experiences in the
past learning languages, particularly
in high school, Michalski dispels all
that in favor of having fun with language while learning it.
Michalski also believes that children
absorb information like sponges and that
learning languages should start early.
HLC uses many types of materials to
teach, as well as technology but mainly it is interactive. Being interactive is
what defines Hola. Gestures and items
are used to help students remember
what they are doing and how it relates
to what they are saying.
“Our teaching curriculum and practice are completely different than your
typical boring language class. Learn
the language of your choice with immersion exercises, fun interactive scenarios and so much more,” she said.
Michaliski believes her methods of
teaching language gets results. She
believes that old methods of teaching language by rote, grammar and
pronunciation has its place but has
become stale and ignores further understanding of the culture itself.
Those visiting overseas for an extended period of time are often forced
to learn the language and the culture through daily living. Those who
choose to learn a language may not
Photo by Page H. Gifford
have that luxury, but Michalski is determined to bring them Spain if they
can’t get there.
“It is about giving individuals the opportunity to fully immerse themselves
in a language and its culture,” she said.
She offers private and group lessons for
all ages and also after school programs.
Michalski sees many opportunities in
today’s world for learning languages.
“Someone told me that if he learned
a language for his job, he could earn
five percent more in his salary,” she
said. “Our business language services include business language classes,
legal and medical interpreting and
translation of documents and media.”
She adds HLC also offers other services, including translating, interpreting,
business Spanish and resume writing.
Recently she has helped translate documents for lawyers and interpret contracts for real estate.
The daughter of Steve Michalski- of
Sands PC- she has background in business management and marketing and
had worked for Apple, earning a lucrative salary. But she traded the salary at
Apple for motherhood and entrepreneurship.
“I can now spend more time with
my daughter,” she said. “I realized that
what I do now is innately part of me,
it’s who I am and I love it.”
Hola Language Center is located at
106 Crofton Plaza Suite 2, Palmyra.

First Fluvanna Pump and Run draws 34 - Meador, Haselden win
CONTRIBUTED BY JAMIE DEVORE
History was made in Fluvanna County on Saturday, Dec. 1. The first Fluvanna Pump and Run was held at Fluvanna
County High School - the first event of
its kind in the Charlottesville area.
Pump and run events are special
strength and endurance challenges
made famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger, in which one is weighed, bench
presses a percentage of his/her body
weight, and then runs a race course.
For each bench press completed, time,
i.e. 30 seconds, is deducted from the
participant’s final running time. As in
the case of this year’s overall female
winner, Hannah Meador, it is possible
to end up with a final negative time at
the end of the race.
Holding a pump and run event in
Fluvanna was the dream of Fluvanna
County High School track coach, Tom
Casto. With the help of fellow coach,
Rose Brogan, coordinator Jamie DeVore, and parent volunteers, the dream
became a reality.
Thirty-four participants showed up
to lift weights in the new high school’s
state-of-the art weight room, and then
ran a two-mile race course around the
school grounds, beginning and ending
at the track. Participants aged 12 -57
traveled from as far away as Stafford
in order to compete. Ragged Mountain
Running Shop and the new Anytime
Fitness gym at Lake Monticello donated the overall winner and age group
winner prizes, and over 20 other prizes
were given away in a drawing.
The proceeds of the pump and run
will benefit the Fluvanna County
School Track and Field Program. The
plan is to make this an annual event
with hopes of growing a little bigger every year until it is known throughout
the state.
The overall champion female was
Hannah Meador and the overall champion male was Carl Haselden.

Fluco boys best Cumberland Dukes 65-52; improve to 3-0
BY DUNCAN NIXON, CORRESPONDENT
It is early in the season, but Coach
Munro Rateau noted that his team played
“its best half of the season” in the first
half against the Dukes from Cumberland
County, on Wednesday (Dec. 5). The
Flucos jumped to a 14-6 lead after one
quarter and extended their lead to 28-11 at
half time. The Flucos did not play as well
in the second half as they coasted to a 6552 win. Coach Rateau was not as pleased
with the second half as he was with the
first, noting that his team still needs to
learn to play a full 32 minutes. Leading
the Flucos in scoring were sophomores
Vinnie Agee and Jalen Harrison, who
recorded 28 and 20 respectively. Agee
also grabbed 13 rebounds.
In the first half, the Flucos played
an intense man to man defense that
prevented the Dukes from getting good
looks at the basket. When the Dukes did
get a rare open shot, it usually failed to
drop through. At half time it looked like
a rout was on.
In the first half, the Flucos scored
a modest 14 points in each quarter. In
the opening quarter, the scoring was
balanced. Forecourt senior Trevonne
Bradley had two baseline jumpers for
four points. Sophomore Vinnie Agee had
a three pointer and two free throws for
Fluco sophomore Vincent Agee drives to the basket.

five points, senior guard Brad Bullock
added three points, and sophomore
forward Jalen Harrison added a basket
on a defensive rebound and a coast
to coast drive to the basket. Agee had
several nice steals in the quarter.
Agee took over in the second quarter,
scoring nine of his team’s fourteen points.
Agee opened the quarter with a three
pointer from the side to give the Flucos
an 11 point lead at 17-6; they maintained
a double digit lead for the rest of the
game. Late in the quarter, Agee made
two steals that he took the length of the
court for scores, the second score was an
impressive dunk to make the score 24-8
with 1:30 left in the half. This game could
have ended with the Flucos up by a bigger
margin, but for the fact that Cumberland
sank desperation three pointers to end
both the second and third quarters.
In the third quarter the game opened
up a bit, as the defenses on both sides
were somewhat less intense. Both teams
scored twenty points in the quarter. Jalen
Harrison asserted himself for the Flucos,
scoring twelve of his twenty points.
Early in the quarter, the Flucos took their
largest lead of the game when senior
Dashon Tibbs scored on a fast break to
put his team up by 24 at 41-17. From
that point on, Cumberland gradually cut
into the Fluco lead.
Midway through the fourth quarter, the
Dukes reduced the lead to twelve, and the
final margin was a comfortable thirteen
points. Agee did most of the scoring for the
Flucos in the fourth quarter. He
had nine points including four of the
team’s five field goals in the quarter.
In addition to Agee’s and Harrison’s
scoring, Bullock added seven points.
Tibbs was the second leading
rebounder for the Flucos with six.
At half time of each Fluco home
game, students are invited down on to
the court to take half court shots for
a dollar per shot. Anyone who makes
a shot is awarded ten dollars, or the
student may try a second shot for a
fifty dollar prize. This is usually a good
half time fund raiser. Often no one
makes the shot. Sometimes one or two
do make it, but certainly far less than
one in ten shots go in. However, on
Wednesday night, Fluco senior Michael
“Big Mike” Lawhorne, sunk his first try,
and risking ten dollars, then made his
second try, to win fifty dollars.
The Flucos now travel to LibertyBealton on Dec. 11 and return home
to play Spotsylvania High School on
Dec.14. They have an unusual Saturday
game the next day at Beacon High, and
then travel to Cumberland on Dec. 19.
Their first Jefferson district clash will
be at Western Albemarle in Crozet on
Dec. 21. The Flucos will then host their
annual Christmas Bash tournament on
Dec. 27 and 28.
Fluco sports in review
BY JAKE BACHMAN AND KELSEY SILVERMAN
FLUVANNA COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL JOURNALISM PROGRAM
Jake and Kelsey compiled this information with the
oversight of journalism teacher Elizabeth Pellicane
Wrestling
Two men. Six minutes. Taken down to its
essentials, the sport of wrestling may seem
this simple to many observers. However, the
technique and time spent training makes
this sport so much more. The wrestlers go
through numerous tests to make sure they
are well-hydrated and in shape to perform
at their highest abilities. Following a diet
stricter than any other sport, these athletes
are in a class of their own.
This season, the team introduced a new
coach, Dean Hall. The bar was set high at
the very first meeting as the words “district
championship” echoed in the athletes’
heads.
“Coach Hall is definitely able
to elevate the program,” said senior Jed
Harris. “He’s bringing new techniques and
strategies to the sport that we didn’t think
of before.”
“The workouts are extremely tough,”
said senior Kyle Swanson. “Cardio is our
main focus. We’ve been doing a lot of
interval running and stairs,” he said, “So it
is looking to be a promising season for the
whole squad.”
The team’s elevated fitness level was clearly
the deciding factor as they overpowered the
competition at Massanutten Military Academy
on Dec. 8. The team won the tournament and
had eight wrestlers medal, including four first
place finishes and the tournament’s MVP, Justin
Zimmerman.
“If we keep wrestling like this there is not
much that could stop us,” said senior Jovan
Burton. “I was really impressed with how
we did overall,” he added.
The team is looking to keep up the pace as
they hit the mats again on Dec. 14.
ACE team
“What y-shaped structure in the body
attacks antigens?” Answer: “Antibodies.”
If this type of question makes your heart
flutter, you’d be someone who would enjoy
the ACE team. This knowledge- based,
Jeopardy-style academic sport has been
making waves in Fluvanna for almost two
decades.
Questions like the one above are the
type of questions members of the team
were asked as they traveled to Western
Albemarle on Dec. 5 to face Western, Louisa
and Charlottesville. For their third match of
the season the team fought its hardest, but
failed to come away with a victory against
the competition.
Despite the disappointment, team members
were set on improving for their meet on Dec.
12. Team members spend every Monday
afternoon together looking up facts and
increasing their already immense knowledge
base. “We’ve been studying hard at practice,
and if we keep it up I’m sure we can make a
run and beat some teams in the district,” said
senior Colleen Burke.
“There’s no doubt in my mind we can
improve. We just need to keep our heads up.
There is no one who is for-sure smarter than
us,” said senior Cassie Woods. The team will
resume their season on Jan. 10 when they
face Monticello.
Varsity boys’ basketball
With last year’s banner year for the
varsity boys’ basketball team, the question
is this: Can this year’s team continue the
Fluvanna legacy? “A lot of the players
contribute to help us win this season. [This
year] we have a wider variety of talented
players,” said sophomore Jalen Harrison.
Three games into the season, the boys
are still undefeated. The Fluvanna boys
looked incredible in their first game on
Nov. 27 against Spotsylvania, winning 7356. “Spotsylvania was our toughest game of
the season. They played pretty dirty, using
foul language on the court. Our team did
a great job of ignoring their comments and
continued to play hard,” said Harrison. Fired
up from their win over Spotsy, they then
took on Liberty High School and continued
their winning ways with an impressive 6751 victory.
In the third game of the season, the Flucos
hosted Cumberland for the first time in the
new high school on Dec. 5. The Flucos were
determined to be victorious for their fans, so
losing, in their own house was not an option.
“I love being able to look into the stands and
see my Fluco classmates. It really gets me
pumped to win,” said senior Dashon Tibbs.
The Flucos played like a well-oiled machine
against Cumberland, executing plays like
an NBA team. Their 65-52 win kept their
successful season alive
JV boys’ basketball
The junior varsity basketball team is
matching the varsity success win for
win, maintaining their own undefeated
season. Their first win of the season was a
dominating performance as they destroyed
Spotsylvania 55-20. The team was firing
on all cylinders as they ran away with
the game. The question was, could they
maintain this success?
They answered that question in their
landslide victory against Liberty, smashing
Liberty’s junior varsity team 55-31. Then
came their first real challenge: taking on
Cumberland High. Both teams exchanged
blows like two heavyweight boxers. When
the dust settled and the final bell sounded,
Fluvanna stood standing with a narrow fourpoint victory, winning 47-43. Sophomore
junior varsity Captain Hunter Deforge led
the team by scoring 16 points.
According to Coach Heath Bralley, the game
against Cumberland should not have been
as close as one might think. “Hunter is our
floor general. Like a car, Hunter is the keys
to get us started. Every member of this team
can contribute greatly. We started [the game
against Cumberland] very strong in the first
and second quarter, but once we got up, the
team relaxed in the third quarter,” said Bralley.
A little encouragement from the Fluco cheer
section got them back in gear. Many on the
team consider the fans “the true sixth man”
and a vital part of their success. “The louder
the gym gets the more hyped I get,” said
sophomore Craig Cook.
“We have started the season great, [and]
all of us are playing as one. I hope we can
stay united as a team and continue this
great season,” said Deforge.
Varsity girls’ basketball
Fluvanna pride doesn’t end with the boys’
program; the girls’ teams are attempting to
make a name for themselves on the court
too. The varsity
girls
started
their
season
off with a
tough defeat
at the hands of
Spotsylvania.
The girls played
their
hearts
out, but lost by
just ten points. The Lady
Flucos bounced back in typical
Fluco fashion, totally controlling
the court against Goochland and
knotting up their record at 1-1 with a
46-22 win.
In the third game of the season, the Lady
Flucos dropped another tight game against
Liberty, which edged out the Flucos 32-26.
Determined to return to a .500 winning
percentage, the Lady Flucos unleashed their
fury on a Goochland team for the second
time. In dominating fashion, they downed
the Bull Dogs 48-28. “The refs always ask
me at every game, ‘What is a Fluco?’ and
every time I reply, ‘Us! We are Flucos,’” said
varsity Captain Ashleigh Harris.
With a desire to prove that the Lady
Flucos must be respected, the girls were
determined to win their fifth game of the
season against a tough Cumberland team
on Dec. 5. “We had a rough start and the
whole first half was a battle. During the third
quarter Cumberland became tired and with
the help of the fans and the bench players,
we were able to push through the third and
fourth quarter, winning 42-25,” said varsity
sophomore Captain JP Elliott. Elliott led
the charge, scoring 11 points. Sophomore
Kianna Childress added 10 points to the
mix and senior Ashleigh Harris got in the
fun, scoring 9 points. The Flucos are now
3-2 and looking to build on their success.
JV girls’ basketball
The girls’ junior varsity team is showing
they too have what it takes to win. They
have started the season 4-1 and are looking
really strong. With wins over Spotsylvania,
Cumberland and two against Goochland,
the girls are confident in their ability to be
successful this year. Their only loss came
in a nail-biter against Liberty. The Liberty/
Fluvanna game was an instant classic, with
Liberty edging out Fluvanna by a mere
three points.
“We have to make this happen now. We
are focused on the here and now, working
hard and we will be successful,” said
freshman Brooklyn Duenas.
Indoor track
In their first meet of the season, the team
on Dec. 7, the team traveled to Woodbury
Forest. Senior Chris Markham finished in
first place in the 3200 meter, junior Hannah
Meader finished first place in pole vault, and
the girls’ team finished first in the 4x800.
“I think we have great potential to
win this year. With hard work, anything
is possible,” said pole vaulter Hannah
Meador. Next, the team will travel to
FUMA for two more meets. “The practices
have been cold and hard and we have few
athletes to work with, but we are definitely
showing progress,” said senior runner
Chris Markham. After losing many seniors
last year the young team must work hard
to continue the winning tradition.
“We have six practices a week. We are at
school for twelve hours, two days a week
and we work hard. I feel we have the
potential to have a great season, just like
we did last year, if we put our minds to it
and push as hard as we can,” said freshman
runner Bridget Bossong.

FYSA FORCE rounded out a successful season as soccer champions in the
Skyline Classic league U18 Girls division.
This is the third straight season that the
girls have retained their title and was
perhaps the hardest yet. Coach Paul Ma-
caulay commented “Having lost seven
seniors last year we were looking at
this being potentially a rebuilding year,
however, the quality of players wanting
to play enabled us to field a competitive
team each week. We will graduate only
two this spring but we are still looking
to add quality motivated players to the
roster at the spring try-outs”.
The team is consists of 9th through
12th graders from both Fluvanna and
Louisa High Schools most of whom have
developed through the recreational and
junior travel programs of FYSA. At the
U18 age group there is no spring travel
soccer as the girls will all play in their
respective high school programs so
club soccer will begin again in the late
summer.
Any player who is interested in
trying out for the High School Girls
travel team should contact FYSA (http://
www.fysaforce.org)/ for information on
try-outs.
Charlottesville based Skyline league
includes teams from Nelson, Madison,
and Albemarle counties as well as
Charlottesville. Games are played from
September through to November on a
home and away basis. The girls lost just
one game all season and outscored their
opponents 38 goals to 12.
Post season the girls headed to
Richmond to defend their Commonwealth
Classic tournament title but unfortunately
were only able to finish as runners up to
a very strong Premier Club Team from
Prince William who were using the Classic
tournament as a warm up for a State
ranking competition later this month.
Despite the loss it was a great opportunity
for the girls to play against a much higher
level competition.
The elections are over.
