Released this week, the synthesis report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) is a summary of the three previous reports and arrived with a warning attached: Climate change caused by humans is already happening and will get much worse (heat waves, extreme precipitation events, warmer and more acidic oceans and rising sea levels); ecosystems will be forced to move, colliding with one another and forcing the extinction of many plants and animals; to avoid the worst of these possibly irreversible impacts we must cut our greenhouse gas emissions substantially by mid-century and aim for “near zero emissions of CO2 by the end of this century.” We already have the answers we need to tackle climate change and make the switch to renewable energy. The report also points out that to accomplish these goals international cooperation is required. The Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society considers this dire report conservative and warns that the actual effects of climate change could be even more severe and stranger than what the IPCC describes. But what also happened this week? An election with conservatives claiming victory over candidates and policies that have responded to these alarms. My favorite examples are three proposed county bans on oil and gas drilling in California. San Benito and Mendocino County measures to ban fracking won overwhelmingly while Santa Barbara County’s proposed ban on oil drilling failed (with the gas industry spending $5.8 million to defeat it.) As proposed for use in the George Washington National Forest in the Shenandoah Valley, fracking uses steam injection wells that add chemicals dissolved in millions of gallons of water and mix with tar formations that are toxic. Ground water aquifers are at risk and even earthquakes can result in places like Oklahoma. The future of planet earth is actually in our hands and ignoring the warning signs takes us down a path of blissful self-destruction. Let us act now and put in place clean energy policies in Virginia with solar panels on our buildings and wind turbines off our coast. The wake-up alarm has sounded. – Julius Neelley, Lake Monticello Pies!

Only one precinct – Fork Union – favored Sen. Mark Warner over challenger Ed Gillespie, by a slim margin of 1.5 percentage points. The Columbia, Palmyra and Rivanna Districts and absentee voters preferred Gillespie by between 10 and 12 percentage points. Fluvanna’s most conservative district, Cunningham, went for Gillespie by a comfortable 27.5 percentage points. Overall the county selected Gillespie by 11 percentage points, awarding him 4,477 votes to Warner’s 3,559. All five of Fluvanna’s precincts plus the absentee voters preferred Rep. Robert Hurt over challenger Lawrence Gaughan. Hurt’s slimmest margin of victory came in Fork Union, in which voters selected him over Gaughan by almost 20 percentage points. His coziest margin of victory occurred in Cunningham, when voters favored him by a whopping 43 percentage points. Fluvanna as a whole selected Hurt by 28 percentage points, with 5,107 votes to Gaughan’s 2,809. Interestingly, Columbia’s voting percentages closely mirrored those of Fluvanna County as a whole in both the Senate and House races. Columbia voters gave Gillespie 53.24 percent and Warner 43.38 percent of their votes, and Fluvan- Bazaar Join us for a festive holiday experience! na County voters awarded Gillespie 53.87 percent and Warner 42.83 percent of their votes. Likewise, Columbia voters gave Hurt 61.22 percent and Gaughan 34.50 percent of their votes, and Fluvanna County voters awarded Hurt 61.96 percent and Gaughan 34.08 percent of their votes. Columbia’s talent at predicting Fluvanna’s preferences fell flat in the sheriff race, however, where it gave Eric Hess his slimmest margin of victory over Mark Belew – almost 4 percentage points. Hess’s most comfortable margin of victory came from Fork Union, in which he received 70.25 percent of the vote. Overall Fluvanna voters elected Hess with 59.49 percent, or 4,864 votes, to Belew’s 40.51 percent, or 3,312 votes. Political experts consider that a landslide victory. Pleased with the election results, the chair of the Fluvanna Republican Committee, Carolyn Ley, declared in an email, “The Photo by Tricia Johnson Fluvanna Republicans did great [Tuesday] night!... It was a good night for Fluvanna and a great night for our country!” Less enthused was Dick Koepsell, cochair of the Fluvanna County Democrats. “It’s not unexpected but it’s very disappointing,” he said of the Senate and House races. “It’s not unexpected because in the 5th Congressional District we have a gerrymandered district that was designed specifically to elect a weak Republican and that’s exactly what we’ve gotten for the third time. We have, unfortunately, politicians on both sides that have allowed this gerrymandering to become so ubiquitous, and with the help of computer programs you can design districts street by street or even house by house, so you can design districts to keep the incumbent in office, and that’s exactly what we’ve been doing for these many years.” November 15 10am to 2pm To complete Christmas shopping with a variety of talented crafters & artisans, enjoy some fireside music and take home a jar of delicious chili or Brunswick stew Bounce house, face painting and more for the kids!

I am honored and humbled that you have placed your trust in me. The support I felt on Election Day was amazing, and I owe it to you. One of my main initiatives has consistently focused on expanding upon and creating community partnerships. Collaboration is key to maintaining public trust and support. During my campaign, I not only met new residents of Fluvanna, but also longtime residents who thoughtfully shared their ideas and offered their support for new and continuing efforts to keep our community safe. With your trust, I will work tirelessly on your behalf to help address any challenges that affect the safety of our community, and to secure lasting and meaningful improvements to your quality of life. Not only am I thankful for your support, but I’m also grateful for all of our community’s first responders who have chosen to dedicate their lives to public safety. I know that your work is not always easy, but it is truly appreciated. I look forward to working with all of you, and again, I thank you for the opportunity to serve. SHERIFF ERIC B.

Beneath the trees a gray boulder bears a plaque that reads, “In honor of the men and women of Fluvanna County who served in World Wars I and II.” The Dixie Memorial was dreamed up in 1949 by the Fluvanna County War Memorial Association, just four years after the end of World War II. Along with erecting the monument, the Association’s plan was to beautify Rt. 15 from the Bremo Bluff Bridge all the way up to its intersection with Rt. 250 at Zion Crossroads, thereby creating a memorial highway in honor of those who served in the world wars. In 1950 the Dixie Memorial was dedicated, on a rainy Veterans Day morning. The governor of Virginia, John S. Battle, came to Fluvanna – crashing his car on the way – to speak at the ceremony, praising Fluvanna citizens for remembering those who died in the wars. Fluvanna’s chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) presented a flag to fly over the monument. But not everything went smoothly with the Dixie Memorial. Pam Morris and her family have lived at Carysbrook since 1955, and Morris remembers that for a good chunk of time the flagpole at the memorial wasn’t even up. “It was down for several years,” she recalled. “It was in three different places in the park, but people kept knocking it down. We kept putting it back up, but eventually the highway department left it down for 10 years or so.” In 1970 a World War II veteran and pris- $ Registration Deadline Dec. 1st YĔĚ’ėĊ IēěĎęĊĉ ęĔ TčĊ FđĚěĆēēĆ BĚĘĎēĊĘĘ PėĔĒĔ CčĆđđĊēČĊ $ $ $ $ $$ In a DVD of 5 minutes or less tell why Fluvanna is the best place to bring a new business!!

Photo by Christina Dimeo Guseman oner of war named Ben Trammell moved with his wife, Grace, to the blue house by the motel at Dixie, Morris said. Both Trammell and Morris would check on the flags to make sure they were flying and not torn, periodically replacing them. When the Trammells died, Morris said, they had their ashes scattered at the Dixie Memorial. After Ben Trammell’s death, the Knights of Columbus became involved with the Dixie Memorial, said past Grand Knight and Virginia State Recruitment Chairman George Kuhlow. The Knights of Columbus is the world’s largest Catholic fraternal service organization, and a part of the organization, the Fourth Degree, takes part in patriotic activities. The members of the Fourth Degree held their first ceremony at the Dixie Memorial on Veterans Day 1997, and from there went on to observe Memorial Day, as well. In 2000, Kuhlow said, the American Legion joined with the Knights and now puts on the Veterans Day ceremony each year. Over the years other groups, such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW), the DAR, the NAACP, and the Boy Scouts, have participated in the ceremonies. Morris and her daughter, Nicole, still check on the Dixie Memorial in honor of Morris’s father, a lieutenant colonel with 43 years of service. “We make sure the wreaths don’t fall down, and we check on everything,” Morris said. Different wreaths have been donated by organizations such as the DAR, the VFW, the American Legion, and the Ruritan Club. “Erected to honor the dead of World Wars I and II, [the Dixie Memorial] was there long before Korea and Vietnam,” Kuhlow wrote to the Fluvanna Review, “but as we honor the memorial now we include all the conflicts that we have fought and died for.” 8 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | November 13, 2014 The World War II veterans lunch was well attended. Ryland Watts and Frank Brown were two who celebrated. Photos by Tricia Johnson Over 40 people attended the 5th annual World War II veterans lunch at the Fork Union Village Restaurant on Monday (Nov. 10.) In a room decorated with red, white, and blue banners, balloons, and flowers, the men and women reminisced about their years of service. Those who fought in World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and more recent conflicts were all honored at the event hosted by Charlotte Glass in honor of her father, Luther Glass, a World War II veteran. The lunch, which is free for the veterans and their family members, is funded through donations. “People just donate money,” said organizer Charlotte Glass. “People just know about it. I announce it in Fork Union Baptist Church and people hand me money, and they bring money to Keith and Julie Jones here at the restaurant, too. They have been very generous.” Luther Glass appreciates his daughter’s efforts. “It is wonderful,” he said. “I was in the European theater,” he explained, “all the way up through into Belgium and Germany and the Battle of the Bulge. The snow was as deep as this table. I drove a two and a half ton truck and the ground was so packed with snow it was like concrete. The Battle of the Bulge was a rough time – we lost a lot of men. I knew a lot of them… I’ll never get over it.” Henry Pendergrass enjoyed the companionship at the event. “I’m probably one of the youngest WWII veterans here today,” he said. “I thought I was going to Germany as part of a peacekeeping group but they pulled me out, and sent me to Indiana to finance school. I was instructed to do the paperwork for all of these fellows who were coming home from the war after six years - and we were told to hurry up and get them home! We processed over 1,000 men a day in the month of December during the real rush so we could get them home.” Frank Brown served in World War II and was a “Montford Marine” – one of the first African-American men to serve in the U.S. Marines. He is the recipient of a Congressional Gold Medal – Congress’s highest civilian honor. “Everything here is very, very nice – it always is,” he said. “I appreciate the recognition – I think more people should recognize veterans because veterans very seldom get recognition like this. And,” he added with a smile, “the lunch is free – very seldom do you find anything for free.” “After 70 years, to see that Congressional Gold Medal – to know that everybody hadn’t forgotten about us…” Brown shook his head. “They never forgot about us.” To advertise email: [email protected] Next to the Main Gate OPEN 7 DAYS A WEEK Celebrating our 30th Anniversary!

Superintendent Gena Keller outlined several preliminary areas of focus for next year’s budget. Salary adjustments came first on the list. Though the schools recently implemented a new salary scale, Keller wants to “smooth out the bumps” that still remain on the scale. The intent, she said, is to remain as competitive as possible while still being sensitive the economic and fiscal environment. Next Keller wants to look at health insurance. Specifically, she wants to examine how much it would cost for the school system to contribute more toward its employees’ plans. The goal would be for school employees to receive as much of a contribution as county employees receive from Fluvanna County. “We’re close but we’re not quite there,” she said. Keller also wants to examine the matter of additional staff or reorganization, especially in the realm of human resources. With 500 employees, it’s a “real need,” she said. Lastly, Keller hopes that the fiscal year 2016 budget can incorpo- Nov. 20th t s e g g i B r u O Sale of the Year! rate some funds for professional development and tuition reimbursement. Each year since 2012 the schools’ average daily membership (ADM) has dropped. ADM is a formula used by the state to determine funding, and is not the same thing as actual enrollment. The state’s projected ADM for 2015 is 3,526 students, Keller said, and is 3,481 students for 2016. Current enrollment as of October is 3,561 students. “We still see a little bit of decrease in kindergarten,” Keller said, “and we recognize across the county there are more opportunities for students to be enrolled in day schools or pre-K programs, and sometimes that draws our students out of their kindergarten classes.” Using the free and reduced lunch program as a measure, approximately 30 percent of Fluvanna students are economically disadvantaged. Keller suspects that the actual percentage is higher, and that not all eligible families are applying for the lunch program. Of all the school divisions in Virginia, Fluvanna County is one of 22 in which all schools are fully accredited. “That’s huge,” Keller said. “That’s a significant move in the right direction – but not to marginalize how important that is – it’s only one measure.” Supervisor Don Weaver congratulated Keller and the school system, saying, “You’ve done that with less resources, also. I think that’s admirable.” Garrett calls high school impressive BY TRICIA JOHNSON, CORRESPONDENT Christmas Savings Throughout the Store FREE Yankee Candle Gift with Every Gift Purchase.

The overarching mission of this merger is to provide exceptional patient and family care to those seriously ill and dying in central Virginia.

The new, combined entity will have a larger geographic footprint, serving the city of Charlottesville and the counties of Albemarle, Augusta, Buckingham, Culpeper, Greene, Fauquier, Fluvanna, Louisa, Madison, Nelson, Orange, and Rappahannock. HOP is now able to offer the high-quality, compassionate care that patients and families know and trust to a broader number of patients and their families. “This is an exciting time for Hospice of the Piedmont,” said CEO Dr. James Avery, MD. “This merger allows us to better face the challenges that will confront all healthcare companies in years to come. We look forward to enhancing the exceptional care we’re known for, while remaining passionately committed to our promise to provide care regardless of the patient’s ability to pay.” The new entity will be headquartered in Charlottesville with additional sites in Culpeper and Warrenton.

(Back row): Coach Christi Harlowe-Garrett, Toria Belew, Tyler Haislip, Ashley Cordes, Bri Harris, Sophie Kershner, Brittney Koczan, Abby Sherman, Haley Dillon, Kate Stutz and Coach Susan Shields. Photo courtesy of Julie Walters The Flying Fluco volleyball team faced off with John Handley High School from Winchester on Nov. 6 for the Virginia High School League (VSHL) Conference 23 championship. Playing on their home court, before an enthusiastic crowd of mostly fellow students, the Flucos dominated. The Flucos won the first game easily by a 25-13 margin. They faltered in the second game, allowing Handley to come from behind for a 25-22 win. However, Coach Christina Harlowe-Garrett’s squad buckled down and won the next two games by scores of 25-12 and 25-19 to win the match and the trophy. There were a number of long impressive rallies in this match, but in the final analysis the Flucos were the superior team at the net. Kill shots are what normally decide a volleyball match and the Flucos were too strong in this aspect of the game for the Handley Judges. In the first game of this match the Flucos relied on kills and service aces to jump to an early 8-2 lead, forcing the Handley coach to call an early timeout. The timeout was ineffective, as senior Maddy Kline blasted home two kill shots when play resumed to give the Flucos an insurmountable 10-2 early lead. The Flucos built their lead to 17-6 and Handley called another timeout. Again, the timeout was followed by two quick kill shots by Kline. The Flucos were outscored by the Judges 7-6 the rest of the way, but senior Kylee Dixon served the winning point for the Flucos for a comfortable eight point win In game two, the Flucos led in mid-game by 12-8 and 15-11, with Kline and senior Leslie Walters unleashing vicious kill shots 14 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | November 13, 2014 along the way. However, Handley rallied to tie at 16-16. The game was also tied at 20-20. Handley won several long rallies, and won the game 25-22. The pressure was on with the match at one game apiece. With senior Lee Lee Robbins serving, the Flucos jumped to a 5-0 lead. Robbins had two aces and Kline had an impressive kill shot. The Flucos were too strong for the Judges as they pushed the lead to 10 at 17-7. A mini rally by Handley was to no avail, as the Flucos recovered to keep the lead at 10 with the score at 21-11. Junior Kate Stutz served the final three points for the Flucos, as they won easily by 25-12. The situation looked good for the Flucos. The Judges would have to win two in a row to take the title, and the Flucos had won two games by very comfortable margins. Nonetheless, the Judges fought hard in game four. The game opened with a long back and forth with neither team able to grab the advantage. The score was tied 6-6, 9-9 and 12-12. However, at this point the Flucos broke it open. Kline recorded a kill shot, Dixon served an ace and Walters scored a vicious kill. After Handley scored, senior Tiffani Shaheen scored on a clever dink shot, and Walters blasted two aces. The Flucos lead 18-13 and never looked back. They finished the game 7-6 for a 25-19 win. In this match, Kline recorded an impressive 21 kill shots, which gives her over 1,000 for her career. Walters also scored well, with 15 kill shots. After the game, Coach Harlowe-Garrett said that this is the Flucos second Conference 23 championship in three years. Conference 23 is made up of schools in the Central Virginia region with comparable enrollment to Fluvanna High School. In the Jefferson District, the Flucos play schools that are both larger and smaller in enrollment. The Flucos now go on to 4A North Regional play, with the first game held on Tuesday, Nov. 11 at Fluvanna. If they prevail in the Regional competition they will go on to compete for the 4A state title.

Call to Sch Rising pop-star Tiffany Houghton gave a free concert to Fluvanna students. fall leaf removal Photo by Erin Edgerton Fluvanna is known for being rural. After all, there is only a single stop light in the entire county. But that doesn’t stop greatness from coming here. Last Friday, 987 Fluvanna County High School students and the 7th grade class at Fluvanna Middle School got to attend a free concert by 20-year-old rising pop-star Tiffany Houghton. Houghton performed four songs at each performance followed by a question and answer with the audience and an opportunity for students to take photos with her. What brought her to Fluvanna? After telling her parents when she was six that she wanted to become a famous singer, Houghton has taken great risks and challenges to acquire her dream. For example, when she was just 17, Houghton moved to Nashville, Tennessee, without knowing anyone there or having any plans of where she would stay. “The day I moved, my car was broken into and everything was stolen. My laptop with all of my songs, my guitar that I wrote those songs on and those journals I had been writing in since I was six,” Houghton recounted on her website. “I didn’t know anybody, and I had no idea where I was going to live, but Now Offering Orthodontics Introducing Dr. Cline to Spring Creek case in point, my crazy heart wouldn’t let me give up.” From there, things got much better. Her best-known single, High, has over a million views and Houghton has over 28,000 subscribers on YouTube. “[High] is about the elevated and irrepressible feeling you get when you’re so early in a relationship that he’s still perfect,” said Houghton. “I tend to have a pretty extreme range of emotions. This time, the whole world just looked like sunshine and butterflies – funny what a little girly infatuation will do,” according to her website. After the huge success of High, Houghton moved to Los Angeles where she then joined the band MKTO on their American Dream Tour. Since then, Houghton has been performing at school districts like Fluvanna to build interest in her songs. “She was really good and had really inspiring songs,” said Freshman Payton Day after watching Houghton perform. In addition to performing at the schools, she also played at the National Anthem at Fluvanna’s last home football game on Nov. 7.

I try to drive this point home with them - nobody does anything all by themselves.” “We’ve got some people who want us to build some fences; there is a memorial down at Carysbrook for somebody, and the county wants us to build some kind of sun shelter at the community garden at Pleasant Grove,” he added. All of those projects will require donations of materials and money. The most important part of these projects for Chirico is the life lessons the students learn. “You can’t accomplish anything worthwhile on your own. I try to drive this point home with them - nobody does anything all by themselves.” The Fluvanna High School Carpentry Class has two picnic tables, made by students, for sale at Fluvanna Ace Hardware as a fundraiser. Anyone interested in making a monetary donation (or a donation of goods) to the program should contact Paul Chirico at [email protected] Students Quint Crouch, Colton Brown and Nathaniel Fisher worked together. Photos by Tricia Johnson Fluvanna County High School’s Paul Chirico is a man with a mission. He is dedicated to teaching students in his carpentry classes new skills that can support them through a lifetime – but he needs this community’s help. “Through federal grants we can buy all kinds of tools,” said Chirico, “but we can’t spend the money on consumables like lumber, glue, nails, and sandpaper,” he explained. While the community has been generous so far in its donations, still more is needed to complete the projects his Carpentry II students have been working on – an air-drying shed for lumber, and a solar-powered lumber kiln. “You can’t believe the cooperation and the contribution and the donations I have gotten from area businesses to do this,” said Chirico. “I don’t think there has been a person that I have asked that has said no,” he added. Donations are truly investments in the lives of the students who learn more than just carpentry skills in Chirico’s class. “I’m very excited to be building the pole barn for air drying,” said student Colton Brown as he climbed down a ladder from the roof of the drying shed. “This has been a great thing for most of us to do… working together on a project has been good. There are people I can work with easier than I can others, and I have learned how to deal with working with different people this year.” Several of the students, busy hammering boards into a frame, pointed to Nathaniel Fisher as the head of his part of the project. Fisher, who has had some carpentry experience in the past, said he has refined skills he already had in this class, but added he has “learned a little bit about leadership.” Fisher plans to apply to the Naval Academy. Mike Duke is glad that when he graduates, he will be leaving the two structures he worked on for future classes to make use of. “I hope they appreciate it, and treat it with a little respect. I hope it is some- To advertise call: 434.207.0222 thing useful for the next class, that will help them out a little bit,” he said. Alan Wise admits he took this class in part because he thought it would be fun. “It is more work than fun,” he conceded with a laugh, “but that’s a good thing.” He added that he thinks the skills he is learning will be very beneficial in the future, and that he could possibly choose a career in the building trades. Chirico has taken his Carpentry II class to the next level. While in Carpentry I students build individual projects that teach them basic skills; he wanted to accomplish something more with his advanced students. “I thought, if we are going to build something, why don’t we build something that has purpose,” he said. “So I said we’re sitting in the middle of a logging community, why don’t we harvest our own logs, get our own lumber, dry it and use it in our workshop.” These projects are a result of that brainstorm. “It will be solar powered,” Chirico said of the kiln, “Virginia Tech is coming in and they are actually going to give us the equipment – the solar-powered fans and materials to go with them.” Local logging companies have donated logs, and Jim Hart from Brookside Farm Portable Sawmill Service donated two days of his time to mill the wood into boards for the students to use. The lumber that was milled has already been meticulously stacked in the drying shed the students built. Although the drying shed project has been completed, and construction on the solar-powered kiln is well underway, Chirico’s list of future projects continues to grow. “Next year we are going to build a timber frame building for the agriculture classes to use as a potting shed,” he said. “Mr. Strickler wants a place to store some of his marching band stuff. The school has an outdoor amphitheater, and we will probably build a bridge down there for them. We’ve been pretty busy,” he said.

November 13, 2014 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | 19 Photographer Tricia Johnson took these photos of people who have heartfelt ties to the town of Columbia. They posed in places that meant the most to them. Their words reflect how they see Fluvanna’s sleepy little river town. Irene Newton, Longest Resident of Columbia, at the organ at Memorial Baptist Church. “I have played the organ at Memorial Baptist Church for over 50 years. It is a beautiful place, and it means the world to me. I grew up in Columbia – we moved here when I was six-years-old and I have lived here ever since - longer than any other person.” A stained glass window illuminated the newly renovated 164-year-old St. John’s Episcopal Church overseen by the Reverend Richard Singleton. “I do love the diversity not only of color but of the kind of income the people have – poor and rich alike – it is a very special place. They are very socially alive and are aware in a social service direction. It is a lovely place to be. I am a lucky guy.” Emma Jean Wells who has lived just outside of Columbia for 52 years, chose to pose at the door of Columbia Baptist Church - the church where she raised her children. “This is the church I raised my children in. I miss being in the choir… I guess it is about time for me to relax. I was president of the missionary society for years at this church. They would go to houses, pray with people, take them some money or food or go clean homes for people that were sick. I like to visit people.” 20 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | November 13, 2014 Shaun Kenney posed in the family cemetery of the Wakeham family, who built Columbia’s Catholic church and school in the 19th century. “The Wakeham family gave a great deal to Columbia; a parish, a school, their own example, not to mention two children to the religious life. The Wakehams offer a rare example of what one family can do for their community when they put down roots, and, even if largely forgotten today, there’s a great deal that would not be if the Wakeham family had decided to live their lives for themselves. The cemetery is a quiet place, a small monument to the great things ordinary people can do and accomplish every day.” Tanya Wood – mother of three living in Columbia – looked out from the porch of her rented home with her children and one young friend. “What I like about Columbia is just the people down here. It just means it’s my kids’ home so it means a lot. I like the people in the community. They are friendly and look out for each other.” Janet Williams, born and raised in Columbia in the 1930s, stood at the foot of “Monkey Hill” – a spot where all the children played. “We dug big holes and we dug caves and we dug slides and it was just a great big sand pile that’s what it was. I am sure we looked like monkeys climbing all over it. We would come here and play all morning long and then go home for lunch. I have no idea how many people played on this hill but I would say all of the children that grew up in Columbia played on this hill. And there were 25 that were my age. It was a fun place and I daresay anybody who grew up here, if you mention Monkey Hill, you will get a smile.” Anthony “Dickie” Pollois and Iris Pollois sat in front of their first home – the Old Columbia Post Office - in Columbia. “It’s the first home that I am going to pay for. I am 61. Now I’m disabled – I need a place to lay my head,” said Dickie. Iris added “It just fits us perfect. You know the first modern bateau was built here in the yard.” Dickie agreed,”It’s got a lot of history here. I cut the bars off of the window, and now I have to scrape the windows and paint them.” To advertise email: [email protected] Lindsay Nolting, a landscape artist who has lived just outside of Columbia for 40 years, admired the James River she has painted so often. “I painted the river so often -sometimes from the bridge and sometimes from the riverbank, and I had the great privilege once of painting it from Point of Fork. The sounds from the town coming across the river are generalized so it is as though it must always have been. And then there was the lovely thing that is within my experience of building the first twentieth century batteau replica and going with it down to Richmond in May of 1984. And it is wonderful that it has been taken up and down the river and it is an annual function. So again the river is tying us together… Painting it I always feel as though the reflections in the river are being washed down river… fast or slow… it’s just silly, but I do.” Emily Buggs, born in Point of Fork in 1918, held a photograph of the Old Columbia School, a Catholic mission school for African-Americans. “We used to have to walk to school across the river across the aqueduct in the rain or the snow because they didn’t have no bus for us to ride. We always had field day and we wrapped the maypole. Each child had on little paper dresses, each child had on different colors – it was so cute the little paper dresses - and that is the color ribbon we used. At the end of the school year Miss Lydia used to decorate the school with honeysuckle. My favorite hymn is ‘If it wasn’t for the Lord, tell me what would I do … I couldn’t do anything if it wasn’t for the Lord.’ Lord, Lord, Lord we had some times at that school. Some of the children were good and some was bad.” Jeff Haislip, the Fluvanna Commonwealth’s Attorney, associated Memorial Baptist Church with family. “Memorial Baptist was my first church home and my family started every Sunday there. From church we went to my great-grandmother on my mother’s side of the family’s house for lunch, and then to my father’s parents’ house for supper. Sunday always meant family time to me and it still does. My family attends Calvary Chapel Fluvanna now but when I think about Memorial Baptist Church, I think about family.” John Hammond - mayor of Columbia - and his family feel a strong connection to the James River. “I think the river was what drew me here. I thought it was a pretty a town right on the river I had driven through here many, many times and when we saw the house was for sale luckily it was right over the river on the bluffs… I think it has been the benefit the river has benefited the town it is why the town is here – but at the same time it has been its downfall – we know the history of the floods and how it has shaped the lower part of the flood plain - I said to someone the river sounds like traffic – and they said no, traffic sounds like a river.” Kerry Murphy Hammond, Town Councilor originally didn’t want to buy the house but... “… then I looked at his face looking at the river from where our house is and I said yes… you have to respect the river for its beauty and its fury. We are very lucky where our house is situated in the winter we have views of the river, but all year you can hear it - especially after storms -so we can sit out back and just listen to the sound of the river.” (Also pictured, John and Kerry’s daughter Delaney Hammond). The Holland sisters – Julia Davidson, Mary Jane Sheridan, and Sophia Pryor – visited the location where their father’s store once stood. Julia Davidson held the auction bill dated 1962, the year when E. F. Holland’s store was sold and dismantled. “When we were girls, Columbia had four stores, and their own fire department… an ice plant and a watch maker… they were supposed to have their own law… the town had a fire truck and once our uncle went to get the fire truck and there wasn’t any gas in it – he was running back down the street with the gas can in his hand – that was when the Baptist Church caught on fire. They used the fire truck to wash the mud out of the stores after the floods. This was our father’s store – it was up on stilts, so it survived 14 floods. Our father was F. H. Holland who had the store and was the pulp wood dealer. “ To advertise call: 434.207.0222 Barbara Jackson, a member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, is deeply affected by the shrine to St. Mary Katharine Drexel. “I am a 4th generation Catholic here in this church – my great-grandmother converted once the church was given to the black people here in Columbia – that is the main connection – the other is that my mother was born and raised here in Columbia – she was born at Camp Wakeham, and her mother and father were caretakers for the priests that came out here. I was here for the ceremony (when the shrine was installed), and there is a picture somewhere of me there. In fact, I went to Rome for the installation of her as St. Katharine – and spent six or seven days in Rome. I was in St. Peter’s Square. She founded that school and history has it that St. Katharine actually walked on these grounds here and that she visited the church. She has special meaning for me. She founded the schools for the Indians and the blacks. That is where my mother went – to Miss Lydia’s school, and then she went to St. Emma’s for high school.” Diane Murdock, former clerk of Columbia and local historian, pointed in front of a street sign that bears the name of Columbia’s founder. “I chose this spot because of David Ross – I have done a lot of historical documentation of Columbia. I was the town clerk when I lived here in the 1970s. It was his land and he and several others gifted the land and laid out the town and established half acre lots in 1788. I had owned Gum Creek – that was the first Ross house; then we bought a second Ross house – and I went to work for the Department of Historical Resources and found all of these other Ross houses up and down the James River. Then I went to work for the Virginia Historical Society where there is the one and only Ross letter book, which I transcribed.” November 13, 2014 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | 21 HELP WANTED/TRUCK DRIVERS DRIVERS-CDL TRAINING $40,000-$50,000 1st Year!

TREE AND LANDSCAPING SERVICE November 13, 2014 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | 23 Fluco sports in review BY LINDSAY PRICE AND TYLER MARSHALL, FLUVANNA COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL JOURNALISM PROGRAM Lindsay and Tyler compiled this information with the oversight of journalism teacher Elizabeth Pellicane Football The Flucos faced Western Albemarle on Nov. 7 for their final game of the season. The final score ended up being a 48-15 loss for Fluvanna, but this game was so much more than just another game for the Flucos. Despite a season of tough losses, the athletes have not let that define them. Asked about his most memorable moment as a Fluco, senior Macen Dahl said, “It wasn’t a moment – it was the simple fact that the coaching staff gave me the best experience I could possibly receive, and even though the records didn’t show it, they did a phenomenal job shaping a group of boys into young men their parents would be proud of.” Providing Full Service Veterinary Care for Cats and Dogs!

Senior and firstyear player Jake Mooney had a stellar game, not only stepping in as quarterback but also scoring his first-ever career touchdown against the Warriors. “It felt great knowing all the hard work you put in paid off,” said Mooney. The Flucos are losing a large group of seniors and will be a very young team next year, but some players are already looking ahead. “My expectations are just to have the guys work as hard as possible in the off-season. I will do the same to make improvements next year,” said sole underclassman captain Gavin Patrick. Overall, the Flucos wrapped up the 2014 football season with a record of 9-1. The Lady Flucos cross country team competed in their regional meet on Nov.6 at John Handley High School where they placed 5th overall. This was an outstanding result for the team. Freshman Kristen Cabrera was the first to come in for the Flucos, placing 17th overall. Looking forward to States, Cabrera said, “I’m hoping the team goes out there even stronger than last week to beat some of our close competition. We’re going to try to make the last race the best race.” The Flucos will have their top seven runners advancing on to States, including Cabrera, Hayley Kline, Haley Kennedy, Saige Haney, Sarah Spitler, Peyton Olinger, and Devon Burger. As for the boys’ team, which also competed in the 4A regional meet, Travis Moe placed 6th overall, earning an AllRegion Honor. Moe will be the only Fluco boy advancing to the State meet at Great Meadows in The Plains on Nov.15. Speech Team Competing in their first tournament on Nov.8 at Midlothian High School, the Fluco speech team placed 3rd out of 20 total teams. Seniors Casey Johnson and Erin Edgerton took third place in their duo performance. “I was really happy with the outcome considering I only started learning my lines a couple days before the competition,” said Johnson. Junior Jonathan Corbin took first in the extemporaneous category and Kara Kline placed 6th in Dramatic Performance. These Flucos will be advancing to the State tournament. Volleyball The Varsity volleyball team faced Harrisonburg on Nov. 5 in the Conference 23 semi-finals. The Lady Flucos easily won the game by a score of 3-0 to advance to the finals. “We always still need to keep our focus even if the team may be not the most competitive,” said senior Captain Maddy Kline about the game. The following day the Flucos were in the Conference championship game hosting John Handley. The Flucos played with skill and determination to beat John Handley 3-1. The team was all smiles as they accepted the Conference trophy and posed for pictures. Without a doubt, it has been an impressive season for the team as they have blown away the competition with a record of 23-0 and important wins against other strong teams such as Western and Albemarle. The Flucos are looking forward to the next phase of their season and are optimistic about the outcome, although they know the road ahead won’t be easy. “Even though we have had such a successful season, it’s still important to work out and improve each day,” said senior Kylee Dixon. The seniors are making the most of their final high school season and are enjoying every minute. “I am grateful for the season we’ve been blessed with. We have put in a ton of work this year and pushed ourselves and it’s great to see it paying off. I’m not ready for my senior season to be over with, so I’m looking forward to seeing how far we can go. We try our hardest at all times,” said Dixon. The Lady Flucos have their eyes set on the challenges ahead and what they must do to get to States. “We need to just keep winning and then I believe we can make it to States with no trouble as long as we keep performing at our best,” said Kline. The Lady Flucos continued their journey on Nov. 11, hosting the first round of Regionals against James Wood High School. Check back next week for a recap of the results. Ace Team The Ace Team had a meet at Louisa on Nov. 5 and came away with their heads high with a record of 1-2.

GIFFORD, CORRESPONDENT Wildlife enthusiasts filled the Terrace Room at the Lake Monticello Clubhouse recently to hear Jessie Cole, a licensed wildlife rehabilitator from the Rockfish Wildlife Sanctuary in Nelson County. Cole brought with her two animals saved by the sanctuary which serve as educational ambassadors. Quinn, a tiny Screech owl, sits on his perch, wide eyed, slowly blinking at onlookers while his counterpart, a possum named Esperanza, chews on a grape. Esperanza is missing a tail and Quinn had a broken wing, which now hinders him flying silently so he can stalk prey. Cole pointed out that because of their previous injuries they cannot be released back into the wild and will live out their lives at the sanctuary. “Last year we treated 625 animals and this year it has risen to 740 so far,” said Cole. “The numbers keep increasing.” She adds that primarily they deal with young orphaned animals whose mother was killed by the side of the road such as baby raccoons, skunks, coyotes and birds. Birds have to be fed round the clock every 20-30 minutes and Cole admitted it was a challenge to feed 40 baby grackles. Diet is important and people should be aware there is state law prohibiting the feeding of wildlife and that feeding bread to birds can cause metabolic bone disease. Cole shared many heartwarming stories including one about beavers swimming around in her tub. Swimming time is crucial for beavers. “They like to be together. Beavers can die of loneliness,” she said. She adds that beavers stay in rehab for two years before being released and can learn by instinct to live in the wild. A non-profit founded in 2004, it is staffed by licensed wildlife rehabilitators like Cole, student interns and other trained volunteers. Those who are familiar with wildlife rehab in the area know about the Wildlife Center of Virginia in Waynesboro, which deals with the medical while RWS deals with rehab. RWS provides help and information for the public when they find an injured or orphaned wild animal. They care for the animals that are injured or orphaned until they released back into the wild. RWS also provides many educational opportunities about habitats and the needs of native wildlife. “Urban development has increased and reduced the number of wildlife habitats and Virginia’s native animals are in need of care,” said Cole. She then quoted John Muir, who said, “When we tug at a single thing in nature, we find it attached to the rest of the world.” RWS is always in need of monetary donations, as wells as goods and services. “More and more children are getting involved. We had a group of children raise $125 selling lemonade and donate the entire amount to us and another group of children gave us their entire allowance.” For more information, visit RWS at http:// rockfishwildlifesanctuary.org/ or call them at 434-831-2900.

I think we did well and are noticing improvement showing that we beat Charlottesville,” said Team Captain Dalton Shifflett. Western came away on top of the event. “Western is our toughest challenge, but at our best I think we’re capable of beating any team and we just need to keep working hard and hopefully everything will show,” said Shifflett. The Flucos like to prepare themselves mentally before matches. “We’ll have practices during the week and review a lot. We work hard and have fun while doing it,” said sophomore Harrison Lee. In a sport which is basically like a competition version of the TV show Jeopardy, many students like to specialize in a particular field of study. “I do literature and history because I love to read and it’s very easy for me to remember things, so it’s a perfect fit,” said Lee. With the team working very hard and not backing down, they are very excited for their next match – which is Nov. 12 at Albemarle – and are hungry for success. Health Nutz Hosts Pool Parties!
