Between 30 and 50 of Fluvanna County
Sheriff Eric Hess’s campaign signs were
stolen off of Rt. 53 around midnight
Monday (Sept. 15).
One of Hess’s campaign workers was
putting out signs late so as to avoid holding
up traffic, Hess said. But as he turned
around to go home, he noticed that the
signs he had put up were already gone. “He
had virtually just put them out,” Hess said.
The campaign worker had noticed a
white Ford F150 parked by a street where
some of the signs were stolen but hadn’t
paid any attention to it at the time, Hess
said, so the sheriff’s office doesn’t have a
license plate or physical description to use.
Hess’s challenger for the sheriff’s position, Mark Belew, has also had about 15
signs go missing from homeowner property in the Fork Union and Kents Store area,
Vote Belew
My name is Chris Fairchild and I am
writing in support of Mark Belew, candidate for Fluvanna County sheriff. I have
known Mark many years, as he grew up in
Fluvanna and his family has been here for
generations. He was educated in Fluvanna,
then at the University of Virginia where
he eventually served as a university police
officer. Mark then advanced his career and
education in law enforcement through 15
years with the Albemarle Police Department, now serving as deputy U.S. marshal
and detective in the Internet Crimes against
Children (ICAC) division.
Mark grew up here, stayed for his education at one of America’s top universities
and then grew his career within central
Virginia’s largest and most advanced police
department, all with the intention of bringing it back to serve the county he grew up
in, where he raises his family today.
On November 4, please vote to elect Mark
Belew as our county’s next sheriff.

which Belew said makes the theft a crime
against the homeowner. He has urged those
affected to contact the sheriff’s office.
“It’s petty and it’s criminal,” Belew said of
the sign theft. “I would never condone that.
I encourage people to support a candidate
at the polls and not through any criminal
activities.”
Sheriff Hess agreed. “You don’t have any
control over people,” he said. “Who knows?
It could be kids just having fun at the
expense of others. I wouldn’t suspect that
anybody participating in either campaign
would do something like that. We’re asking
people to be mindful and let us know if they
know anything.” Hess warned that the sheriff’s office will “go after” whoever is stealing
signs, regardless of political affiliation.
The election is set for Nov. 4.
Ashlawn Grille in the Friday Flyer, it is interesting to see that we, the membership,
are paying the lessee of the Ashlawn Grille
$16,000 a year to run the restaurant. The
lessee is also able to run a catering business
from the restaurant without extra charges.
Back in 2006/2007 the original lease was
amended to state that the Lake Monticello
Owners’ Association would be responsible
for repair and maintenance of all equipment, walls, doors, windows, partitions,
floors, floor coverings ceilings, plumbing,
electric fixtures and utility lines. At the
same time the utilities were amended to
have the lessee only pay the gas, telephone
and cable television bills. The original lease
had the lessee paying 25% of water/sewer,
electricity and fully responsible for waste
removal. As an added incentive the security
deposit of $3,000 was waived for the lessee.
Additionally LMOA is fully responsible
for the estimated $114,000 maintenance
and repair charge which is based on the
Reserve study.
The Friday Flyer study also reported
some disagreement relating to the rental
of the Falconer room. Staff simply follows
policy and members should avail themselves of reading and understanding the
respective policy in which they have an
interest.
To have the Ashlawn Grille continue, the
lessee should have the responsibility of
paying for the maintenance and repair as
stated in the original lease.
I would like to thank the Board of Directors for showing exactly how and why we
are paying $16,000 per year to operate the
Ashlawn Grille.

Nice ad
Your advertising editor, Jacki Harris, did
a splendid job of converting much information on the Fluvanna Business Promo
Challenge and the awards funded by the
Economic Development Authority into a
visually appealing and informative ad. At
all times in drafting and redrafting she was
patient and professional.
The layout of the Market Fluvanna article
beside the “Challenge” ad did a great job of
helping the information of the two programs
(the Business Promo Challenge and the I
Love Fluvanna Contest) reach your readers.
Hopefully the Fluvanna citizens will
enjoy participating in these two different
competitions.

Missing emails from the account of
former Fluvanna County Administrator
Cabell Lawton have been found, according
to an email sent from the county’s attorneys to lawyers representing Davenport.
Davenport’s
attorneys
requested
access to these emails three years ago
as part of a discovery motion in the
county’s
lawsuit,
which alleges that
Davenport gave bad
financial advice to
the county about
the purchase of
bonds to fund the
construction of the
new high school.
The county asserts
that this advice cost
the county money.
An attorney for the county admitted in
a hearing on Aug. 14 that the emails were
lost. Judge Albert Swersky then gave the
county a two week deadline to produce
the emails, which the county missed.
Although the emails have been located,
they have not yet been submitted to Davenport’s attorneys. The county first must go
through the emails to make certain that no
privileged communications are released.
According to the county’s attorneys, a
change in how old emails were stored,
which took place before the current information technology director was employed by Fluvanna, meant that anyone
wanting to access those records had to go
in through a separate portal in order to
do so. When Fluvanna’s IT director contacted the vendor’s support team, they
were able to locate the missing emails.
“Once the vendor provided the IT Director with access to the search portal
for these older emails, the IT Director
was able to log in and perform a test
search for Cabell Lawton emails from
2007 to the date of his departure from
the county, which returned a little over
17,000 emails,” said Melissa Conner, an
attorney representing Fluvanna County,
in her email to Davenport’s lawyers.
Also, in a letter dated September 11,
Judge Swersky granted the defendant’s
motion to change the location of the trial.
“The court finds that there is a significant likelihood that a fair and impartial
jury could not be seated in Fluvanna
County,” the letter read. “The potential
financial interest of any citizen taxpayers of the county, the political ramifications county-wide, of the building of the
high school, as well as the bond issue
itself, will have an enormous impact on
a wide range of jurors.” The judge added
that arrangements were being made to
transfer the case to the Charlottesville
Circuit Court.
A motion to dismiss the lawsuit altogether, filed by Davenport’s attorneys,
will be heard in a Fluvanna courtroom on
Monday, Sept. 22, at 10 a.m. Evidence in
this filing for dismissal includes a statement from the county’s own financial
expert, hired to determine the amount
of damages in this
case. The Board retained Lori Raineri,
a public finance
advisor with Government Financial
Strategies of Sacramento, California,
as its expert witness.
Raineri said she
was hired to “quantify and compare
the
transactions
that the county of Fluvanna did for a
2008 bond issue that was subsequently
refinanced in 2012, to an alternate that
the Board was considering, which was
to participate in a pooled transaction…,”
according to court documents.
She was deposed on September 4,
2014 by lawyers for Davenport. In her
deposition, when asked what the difference was in her calculations of the
amount of debt service Fluvanna County
will pay for the bonds they purchased to
fund the construction of the new high
school, and the option they did not take
– the VPSA “pool” bonds – she said that
the difference was roughly $1.5 million.
One of the contentions in the county’s
lawsuit against Davenport has been its
belief that they were advised by Davenport to go with VPSA “stand alone” bonds
rather than the “pool” bonds, and that
that choice has cost the county money.
The county is currently suing Davenport for $5 million to recoup that alleged
loss though the original amount of the
lawsuit was $18 million. The $18 million
was reduced to $5 million when the
county refinanced their bonds, lowering
their estimation of the amount of money
they lost in the transaction. Now this calculation has been called into question by
the county’s own expert.
When the $5 million amount was
brought to her attention, Raineri said she
did not know how that amount had been
calculated, but agreed saying, “Right.
Million and a half – which is not five
million,” according to her deposition.
She added that she believed that her
firm had not taken the administrative
fees for the pool bond into account in
their calculations and that doing so could
possibly revise the $1.5 million amount
downwards as a result.
Fluvanna County Attorney Fred Payne
declined to comment on the change of
venue.
“The court finds that there
is a significant likelihood
that a fair and impartial
jury could not be seated
in Fluvanna County.”
– Judge Albert Swersky
Sheriff candidates talk law enforcement
at Republican fundraiser
About 100 people flocked to the pole
barn at Pleasant Grove Saturday afternoon (Sept. 13) to eat barbecue, listen to
political speeches, and support the Republican Party.
The list of Virginia politicians who
mingled with the gathered Fluvannians
included Congressman Robert Hurt, State
Sen. Tom Garrett, Del. Rob Bell, Del. Lee
Ware, and former Governor Jim Gilmore.
On the local level, candidates for
sheriff Eric Hess and Mark Belew spent
time talking to folks – and the Fluvanna
Review – about what they’d like to accomplish in the sheriff’s office after the
Nov. 4 election.
Belew, 35, wants the Fluvanna sheriff’s
office to become accredited. “Our schools
have to be accredited, we want our doctors
to be accredited – our law enforcement
should be accredited as well,” he said.
“Accreditation makes you accountable to
a state board that oversees your policies
and procedures and your practices, to
make sure they’re up-to-date and are the
best practices in the business.”
The reason this matters, he said, is that
“law enforcement is an ever-changing
profession. If we don’t keep up with the
trends, if we don’t keep up with rulings
of the Supreme Court, how they affect
law enforcement, then it affects how you
do your job.” And accreditation boards
make sure local offices are keeping pace.
Although most of the surrounding counties have accredited agencies, Belew said,
Fluvanna has never been accredited.
Belew also wants to launch a citizens’
advisory committee. “A law enforcement
agency is only as successful as the relationship it has with the community,”
he said. “We could drive a patrol car
through your neighborhood all night and
we won’t know what’s going on. But you
live there every day so you know what’s
going on.”
Building a citizen’s advisory committee
from “a diverse background of citizens
from varying parts of the county” would
allow residents and law enforcement to
“discuss things that are going on in their
communities from their standpoint,
discuss the things that we’re seeing, and
then collaboratively come up with a way
that we can help the citizenry and they
can help us to tackle these goals.”
Fluvanna residents should vote for
Belew, he said, because “I bring a unique
set of skills. I think I bring youth, I think
I bring enthusiasm, but along with that
youth comes a wealth of experience
that I don’t think we’ve had in Fluvanna
County for a while… and I think Fluvanna County can benefit from it.”
Sheriff Eric Hess, 57, said he was
pleased when the Board of Supervisors
approved one of his key campaign points
– an additional school resource officer.
Having a positive role model –especially
within law enforcement – makes a dif-
ference in the lives
of impressionable
young children, he
said. The school resource officer also
plays an important role in educating children and
parents alike on
tricky issues such
as Internet safety.
Hess also wants
to “crank up” the

ficials to do what we can to promote Fluing model, in which officers spend part
of their days in the community, meeting
people and developing relationships, so
that when problems occur a foundation
already exists between law enforcement
and citizens. “That’s the number one thing
I heard from people,” he said, “that they
want to see the deputies in their neighborhoods more, to know who they are.”
Fluvanna voters should support Hess,
he said, because “the folks of Fluvanna
deserve someone that is proven. You’re
talking about 32 deputies, a two-anda-half million dollar budget, and the
responsibility for a little over 26,000
people in the county. Would you want
to turn that over to someone who’s not
experienced? After running the show
[as chief deputy] for eight years I think I
have that experience.”
In between chatting with voters and
munching on barbecue sandwiches, some
of the politicians took a moment to offer
their perspectives on Fluvanna County.
“Fluvanna is such a special place,”
said Hurt. “It’s just really exciting to
see a focus on agriculture and forestry.
Both of those two things together are the
largest economic drivers for the state of
Virginia… If we want to see job growth,
economic expansion, and economic opportunity here in Fluvanna County we
have to focus on those things. So I’ve…
focused on problems that farmers have
with the EPA or the Corps of Engineers.
They’re very real, very costly, and they
affect farmers – and farmers’ customers
– since costs oftentimes get passed onto
the consumers.”

Fluvanna remembers 9/11
BY TRICIA JOHNSON, CORRESPONDENT
Around 100 people attended a 9/11 memorial service
hosted by Lake Monticello Fire and Rescue.
Among the honored guests was Bob Stanton (pictured
bottom right) who served 25 years with the New York City
Fire Department. Although he was retired when the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center occurred, he soon
found himself at Ground Zero. “Both of my sons (also New
York City firefighters) were at 9/11… they were listed as
missing at first, but when I got down there I found them and
they were all right – they just stayed down there, working.
Probably out of the 343 firefighters who died, I worked with
50 of them,” he said. “They did their job that day. The firefighters saved probably about 10,000 people,” Stanton asserted. “We lost more people that day than we did at Pearl
Harbor – that is how many people died.”
“See that sign there – those are the names of the 343
firefighters that died, and… it is in honor of the men who
died. There was one guy (a local volunteer firefighter) that
died here years ago. It is important to honor the memory of
the people who passed away and the service of the people
who are still working - to honor the volunteers here who
risk their lives here today just like we did,” Stanton said.
Fluvanna Fire Chief Mike Brent, Fluvanna Emergency
Services Coordinator Cheryl Wilkins, and Sheriff Eric Hess,
among others, spoke to the audience about their experiences, the memories they have of that day, and what positive things they hope we can all take away from the national tragedy. Photos by Tricia Johnson

To celebrate its 10th anniversary
in Fluvanna County, Tenaska Virginia
invited state and local leaders, Tenaska
Energy corporate figures, and all 29 of its
employees to a dinner at Pleasant Grove
Tuesday night (Sept. 9).
In honor of the anniversary, Plant
Manager Dr. Robert Mayfield presented a
check for $2,500 to Jason Smith, director
of Fluvanna’s parks and recreation department, for the “continuing development of the Pleasant Grove area.”
Thanking Tenaska for being a “dedicated community partner,” Smith announced the money will be used to construct a 760-square foot permanent stage
at Pleasant Grove. “Whether the amphitheater is used for a wedding, sunrise
yoga classes, awards ceremony for the
Boy Scouts or any of our special events
where music entertainment takes place,
this contribution is going to help make
many positive memories,” Smith said.
As she spoke to the gathering, Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors
Chairperson Mozell Booker recalled the
controversy that surrounded Tenaska
when it first located within the county.
But despite the dispute, “It did not take
long to realize what a jewel we had in
Tenaska,” Booker said. “Tenaska was our
community supporter.”
In that role, Tenaska’s 29 employees
offer 2,000 hours of volunteer work in
the county per year. Some of their activities include tutoring, putting on luncheons for the public school teachers,
and helping out social services by Christmas shopping for 120 children and 80
senior citizens. Funds from Tenaska go
toward many ventures, including high
school scholarships, the high school robotics club, a mechanical drawing lab,
Standards of Learning calculators, and a
3D printer for the middle school.
“Tenaska Virginia is a great example of
being a good corporate neighbor,” said
Todd Jones, senior vice president of operations and asset management, who
traveled for the occasion from Tenaska
headquarters in Omaha. “Individual employees donate their own time, in their
community where they live, to their
neighbors and friends.”
Not only that, said Jones, but the plant
has gone for seven straight years without
lost time for illness or injury. The plant is
voluntary protection program star certified
by the Virginia Occupational Safety and
Health Program – the highest safety designation in the country. “Their history has
been very strong, very safe,” Jones said.
“We look forward to another 10 years as
strong and safe as the first 10 years.”
Vice Chairman and CEO Jerry Crouse
applauded the plant for its role within the
county. “Tenaska Virginia works with local
leaders to help maximize the benefits to the
community while also ensuring the plant
remains a competitive business and stable
employer,” he said. Since the plant opened
in 2004, it has paid over $15 million in
property taxes to Fluvanna County.
Located near Scottsville, Tenaska burns
20 pounds of natural gas per second to
generate 885 megawatts of electricity in its
combined-cycle facility – enough electricity to provide power to 885,000 homes.
School board meets assistant principal,
school liaison
“I look forward to joining
the Fluvanna community
and helping Fluvanna
Middle School reach its
goals.” – Nate Wiedenhoft
Fluvanna Middle School’s new assistant
principal, Nate Wiedenhoft
We’ve done the prescreening for you!
Fluvanna Business Solutions
Nate Wiedenhoft, Fluvanna Middle
School’s new assistant principal, was introduced to the members of the Fluvanna School Board at its meeting Wednesday (Sept. 10). Also introduced was the
new student liaison, Alexis Waller.
Wiedenhoft comes to Fluvanna from
Hanover County Public Schools, where
he taught middle school social studies
for eight years. “I just want to thank the
Board and the administration for providing me with this exciting opportu-
nity,” Wiedenhoft told the board. “I look
forward to joining the Fluvanna community and helping Fluvanna Middle
School reach its goals.” He added that he
is excited about working with the social
studies department. When asked if he
is ready to become a Fluco, Wiedenhoft
replied, “I’m on board - actually I think
my Fluco shirt is already ordered – at
least that is what my principal told me.”
Waller is a senior at Fluvanna High
School and is president of the Student
Government Association (SGA). “Part of
being SGA president is that you are responsible for being the student liaison
with the School Board, which is exciting
because we are involved with a lot of the
school,” Waller said. Waller added that
while she doesn’t have a favorite subject
in school, she particularly enjoys SGA
and the teacher cadet program. “I love
Gena Keller, Alexis Waller and Camilla Washington. Photos by Tricia Johnson
SGA because it is very hands on and it
is helping the community,” she said.
“Teacher cadet I love – working with Ms.
Grandstaff is so wonderful!” Waller plans
to attend Bridgewater College and study
special education. “Special education is
something I have a passion for,” she said.
“It is very rewarding. That is what I like –
to make a difference in the world.”
School Board Chairman Camilla Washington closed the meeting by expressing
her appreciation for the positive changes
she sees in the recently published SOL
scores. “We did a lot of things differently
over the past couple of years. We knew the
changes were needed; we knew we were
on the right path - but the numbers are
now starting to show it. It goes to show that
hard work really does pay off in the end.
Sometimes you feel like you are digging
deeper and deeper in the trench but when
you look up and see numbers like this, you
know that the hard work was not in vain.
Thanks to everything for their hard work
from the administration down to the classroom. It means a lot, and I think that once
we can share these numbers with our students, they will see and feel success and
know that they can do it.”
In other news:
• Jessica Cannon, transportation supervisor, told the Board that there are still
six vacancies for school bus drivers. She
said she is filling those with substitute
drivers and staff currently. There are
three people in school bus driver classroom training at this time.

Crashes pile up in tricky Fluvanna
intersections
Most people in Fluvanna have to navigate Rt. 53 occasionally – and some
drivers have to do it twice or more a day.
But tucked into a four-mile stretch just
over the Albemarle County line are three
of the trickiest intersections in Fluvanna
County.
First comes the intersection between
Rt. 53 and Rt. 618, Lake Monticello
Road, where drivers turning left onto Rt.
618 can back up a whole line of traffic,
causing frustration at best and potential
rear-end collisions at worst. And forget
about turning onto Rt. 53 from Rt. 618 –
finding a hole in the continuous line of
cars at rush hour is next to impossible.
According to statistics from the Virginia
Department of Transportation there have
been 16 crashes within 250 feet of that
intersection in just five years: from 2009
through 2013, the last year for which statistics are available. And fully half of them
took place within one year: 2011.
So that year VDOT began the lengthy
process of improving the intersection. Since 2011 the schedule has been
pushed back, and now VDOT expects
to advertise the project this December.
But hopefully by the fall of 2015, and at
a cost of $1.08 million, the intersection
will be completely revamped.
First, VDOT plans to
add a left-turn lane on
Rt. 53 eastbound, so
that cars trying to turn
left onto Rt. 618 don’t
have to hold up the
entire line of traffic.
Next, VDOT will offset
the
right-turn
lane
on Rt. 53 westbound,
also onto Rt. 618. And
finally, it will move the
stopbar at the end of Rt.
618 to the south to increase what is currently
a limited line of sight.
Tufton Gate
Less than half a mile
down the road from that
intersection is another
dangerous intersection at
Lake Monticello’s Tufton
Gate. That gate sits on Monish Road – a tiny
downhill stretch of pavement with limited
lines of sight in either direction on Rt. 53.
And, just as with the intersection with Rt.
618, the absence of a left-turn lane means
that any drivers wishing to turn into the
gate must hold up the entire line of traffic.
In five years that intersection and its
250-foot radius saw 17 crashes. That
means roughly every four months another
vehicle or two were getting into accidents
at Tufton Gate. To help improve the line of
sight on this and all primary roads, VDOT
mows the area two or three times each
growing season, and the Lake Monticello
Owners’ Association maintenance crew
mows and trims around the gates each
week. But no permanent improvements
are in the works for this intersection.
Problem stretch
As Rt. 53 winds past Tufton Gate and encounters Turkeysag Trail, where the Food
Lion shopping center is, a particularly
problematic stretch of road begins. The
two miles of moderate curves on Rt. 53
between Turkeysag Trail and Rt. 600 have
claimed several lives in fatal car crashes
over the years. Many of them have been
“roadway departure crashes,” meaning
that the driver runs off the road into a
ditch, a tree, a culvert, or another obstacle.
Because of this safety issue, VDOT is
considering a project that would include
widening the shoulder of Rt. 53 and installing rumble strips to alert drivers when
they are beginning to veer off the road. “It
is not an approved project at this point,”
Stacy Londrey, acting communications
manager at VDOT, wrote in an email, “and
if approved, would be done a few years
out, based on funding limitations.”
The roundabout
And then, at the end of the four-mile
stretch, comes another tricky intersection at Rt. 53 and Rt. 600, South Boston
Road. This intersection, however, saw
a major improvement when VDOT finished constructing a roundabout in 2013.
Before the roundabout, the intersection was a logjam for both rush hour and
school traffic, as school buses, teachers, and
parents alike sat on Rt. 600 for 10 or more
minutes at a time every morning waiting
for a chance to turn south onto Rt. 53. To
make matters worse, Rt. 53 curved sharply
Tufton Gate at Rt. 618 and River Ridge Road.
Photo by Lisa Hurdle
at its intersection with Rt. 600, making line
of sight extremely difficult. From 2009 to
2013, the intersection saw six crashes.
Now the area is covered by a lighted
roundabout that forces all vehicles to
slow but not many to stop. The increased
safety of the intersection shows through
an interesting fact: the date of the last
crash at that intersection was April 26,
2013 – the same day that VDOT completed construction on the roundabout.
After that day, not a single additional accident was reported for the rest of the
year. Figures for 2014 are not yet available from VDOT.
296 crashes
Sheriff Eric Hess, however, was able
to provide 2014 data for all of Fluvanna
County based on calls for service to 911.
From the beginning of January to the
end of the first week in September, 296
crashes occurred in Fluvanna County.
Of that number, 55 involved deer, 28 resulted in injuries, 21 were hit and run,
and 192 were classified as general. Most
crashes in Fluvanna take place on Rt. 15,
with Rt. 53 coming in second.
According to VDOT’s statistics, the total
number of vehicle accidents Fluvanna
County has, in general, held steady. In 2009
there were 237 crashes; 2010 had 223; 2011
had 265; 2012 had 252, and 2013 came full
circle with 237 crashes again. The number
of fatalities has also stayed fairly similar,
with four in 2009, two in 2010, two in 2011,
two in 2012, and five in 2013.

New Rotary club members are Catherine Garcia, a teacher at Fork Union Military Academy,
Sheriff Eric Hess and Cheryl Wilkins, the county’s emergency services coordinator.
Fluvanna’s Rotary club received
a three-fold boost at its Wednesday
morning (Sept. 9) breakfast when it inducted three new members, welcomed
its district governor, Stephen Beer, and
accepted a $1,300 grant for one of its
service projects.
The funds will go toward the Free Little
Library, a whimsical literacy outreach
that places colorful “libraries” shaped
like large birdhouses on poles outdoors
throughout the community. The club
plans to place these libraries in Fork
Union and Columbia, explained Rotarian
Bonnie Field. “The idea is you put a book
in and take a book out,” she said. “It’s the
honor system.”
The club applied for a grant from District 7600 of the Rotary International
in order to purchase supplies, and was
pleased to learn that it had received
about $1,300, Field said.
During the breakfast at the Ashlawn
Grille, Fluvanna librarian Cyndi Hoffman
presented a large tote of books from the
Friends of the Library to kick-start the
book collection.
Before announcing the grant award,
Beer took some time to address his fellow
Rotarians. “The heart of Rotary is with our
Rotary clubs,” he said. “Working together
as Rotarians we accomplish a whole lot
more than working as individuals.”
The highlight of the morning came
when club president Rudy Garcia inducted three new members into the Rotary
club: Sheriff Eric Hess, Cheryl Wilkins,
the county’s emergency services coordinator, and Catherine Garcia, a teacher at
Fork Union Military Academy.
“Adding these new members who
are actively involved in the community
through both their professional and volunteer lives is a great way for us to continue to tell the story of the Rotary Club
of Fluvanna County,” Rudy Garcia said.
“The fact that these three are the sheriff,
the Fluvanna County emergency services manager and my wife is just icing on
the cake!”

Belew tackles crimes
against children
“We’re going to get the
community involved so
we have an interactive
agency with the people
and the department.”
Fluvanna County Sheriff Candidate
Mark Belew.
Photo by Tricia Johnson
Fluvanna County Sheriff Candidate
Mark Belew, who is currently an investigator with Albemarle County’s Internet
Crimes Against Children Task Force, returned from the annual Crimes Against
Children Conference with a new appreciation for how difficult it can be to see
what is right in front of our faces.
“One of the seminars… was done by a
gentleman from the FBI who had worked
on the Jerry Sandusky case,” Belew said.
“The takeaway was how difficult it was to
spot this predator who was in the public
eye. There were red flags everywhere,”
he added, “and everyone wrote them off
because he was a man of stature. Even
with the disclosure…even with all of the
evidence that had piled up against him,
there are still people who don’t believe it
because of the kind of man he is.”
Jerry Sandusky, convicted of 45 child
sexual abuse charges in 2012, was an
assistant football coach at Penn State
and was founder of “The Second Mile”,
a non-profit organization serving underprivileged and at-risk youth in Pennsylvania. Sandusky committed his crimes
over a fifteen year period from 19942009; his victims were young boys he
met through “The Second Mile.”
The Crimes Against Children Conference is presented annually by the Dallas
Children’s Advocacy Center and the
Dallas Police Department. According to
its website, the conference “is conducted
to provide training to those employed by
government or non-profit agencies in the
fields of law enforcement, child protective
services, social work, children’s advocacy,
therapy, and medicine who work directly
with child victims of crime.” The conference had over 3,500 attendees from the
US and other countries.
Belew also said he learned a lot from
a seminar given by the Trust and Safety
Manager for North America at Facebook,
Jason Barry. His lecture informed the attendees of new, more streamlined ways
for law enforcement officers to gain
access to the Facebook accounts of individuals. And as much as he learned from
the seminars, he found the case studies
helpful as well. Attendees reviewed individual cases, and learned from them
what to do and what not to do when
faced with a similar case.
“I think the biggest eye opener to me,”
said Belew, “was a class on conducting undercover operations using an undercover
persona, specifically related to chat rooms.
It was shocking to me to learn more about
the underground chat networks I wasn’t
even aware of. Some of the practical exercises we did with these underground
networks were very informative, and to
see how quickly you gain access to these
networks how quickly solicitations would
come in. If you don’t know the precise
route to get to them, you aren’t going to.
Even though I do this every day, there is
so much out there that I don’t know. The
Internet,” Belew added, “is a big place.”
Belew earned a certification on the “Ares
Network” while in Dallas.
Belew hopes to make this sort of law
enforcement conference available to
his deputies should he win the election
in November. “This conference cost us
nothing,” said Belew. “Everything was
paid for – all of this training was provided
– under grant funding.” Belew emphasized that there are many training and
education opportunities that Fluvanna
law officers could attend without Fluvanna County having to fund them. “You
can improve education and training for
the officers, (learn) things they can bring
back to the community,” Belew said, at no
cost. “There are tons of grants out there
that we are not taking advantage of,” he
insisted, and added, “We can provide that
same service here in Fluvanna County
without breaking the bank.”
Belew has other plans for the Fluvanna Sheriff’s Office, too, should he win in
November. “We’re going to get the community involved so we have an interactive agency with the people and the department,” Belew said. “We’re going to
become an accredited agency…we’re
going to meet the professional standards
set forth by the state, we’re going to have
the oversight,” he added. “We’re going to
be proud to show that yes, we may be a
rural community, but our standards are as
high as anywhere else - we are meeting
the same standards as everyone else.”

Leaders share love of Fluvanna and how
to make it better
In order to promote all of the positives
about life in Fluvanna, some members of
the community have joined with county
officials in launching an I Love Fluvanna
marketing campaign. As part of this effort,
several members of the Fluvanna community agreed to answer two questions about
their county: What is your favorite thing
about Fluvanna? And what is the main improvement you want for the county?
Mark Belew, candidate for sheriff
Favorite
What I love most about Fluvanna is the
beauty of the landscape, the laid back
rural lifestyle and our uniquely old-fashioned appeal. Most importantly, what sets
Fluvanna apart is our people. Whether
around your home, at the grocery store
or out for a stroll, you’re always amongst
close friends. There are many places
people can call home, but only one place
you can call yourself a Fluco.
Improvement
The key to Fluvanna’s future is a
vibrant and resilient economy to bolster
opportunity, safe and healthy neighborhoods, and top-notched educational
systems. There is a dire need for tax base
diversity and the infrastructure to sustain
responsible growth without sacrificing
our country charm.

My favorite thing about Fluvanna is
our strong sense of community. The
people make it special. Their generosity, concern for the less fortunate, and
willingness to share of themselves – be it
through churches, schools or non-profits
like Meals on Wheels – all contribute to
what makes Fluvanna culturally diverse
and great. My favorite place in the county
is Pleasant Grove Park.

I would love to see water and sewer infrastructure built so that new businesses

community. With more job opportunities, our young people can stay here and

The people. Our community is comprised of people, of all ages, who have
diverse experiences, gifts, talents, and
ideas. They are an amazing resource for
our schools and I am so appreciative of
their willingness to volunteer and lend
a helping hand. Additionally, our FCPS
staff are dedicated, smart, and passionate about what they do. They work hard,
despite limited resources, to assure that
our students get what they need. And,
last but not least, I love our students. We
are so fortunate to have them enter our
schools every day as it gives us a chance
to impact the future. As I move into my
fifth year in Fluvanna, I am grateful to
live in a place where school staff, parents,
and community members are willing to
get involved, address the issues, and are
also willing to stay connected enough to
create solutions, one step at a time.
Improvement
There are improvements I would like to
see; however, not all are physical and/or
tangible. As Albert Einstein said, I believe
that adversity introduces you to yourself. As we work to Market Fluvanna,
it is important to remember that we will
always have problems to solve and those
issues can give us opportunities to be
a better community. However, if those

we value, and set our differences aside
when we are faced with adversity. We are
the heart of central Virginia!
Combined,
Fluvanna has a
rich heritage that is
regularly enhanced with
new residents who
quickly feel at home
and want to give back
and enrich Fluvanna. I feel
very fortunate to be a part of this community.
Improvement
Smart planning and growth. Fluvanna’s rural heritage is truly special, and
I believe that it is important to preserve
it while recognizing that growth is part
of the equation. Central Virginia has
and will continue to experience growth
as others discover the richness, beauty
and diversity of the area. We want and
need to attract commercial growth in targeted areas while sending consistent and
positive messages to those who want to
invest in this area. To do this we need
to invest in infrastructure and maintain competitive services that allow us
to compete with surrounding areas. We
also need to have a strong comprehensive plan, consistent ordinances, and a
targeted economic development effort.
These are long-term objectives and goals
and we will need steady reinforcement
and sustained efforts to achieve them
and reap the benefits.
Bob Ullenbruch, Palmyra
supervisor
Favorite
Without question my favorite thing
about Fluvanna County is the people
who make up the county. When a family
is in need, whether it be illness, or when
the chips are down, the entire community rallies, time and time again. That just
doesn’t happen in cities. Next would be
the local businesses. From the best restaurants, to great coffee, or ice cream, to
mom and pop shops covering virtually
any need…
Improvement
To diversify our tax base through strong
economic development. Our Board of Supervisors has taken bold steps to fund
water and sewer infrastructure projects
to support business growth. While there
is a cost to our infrastructure efforts, the
reward in the coming years will be an
expanded tax base and a more stable
tax rate that will support the services we
need and value in Fluvanna.

I love the rich diversity and friendliness
of the people of Fluvanna. In the Lake we

We have young families that are just startImprovement

Lake Monticello
ladies golf team
sweep Jefferson
League
BY DUNCAN NIXON, CORRESPONDENT
The Lake Monticello senior women
have been playing in the Jefferson
League for a long time. Last year, for the
first time in nine years, the Lake Monticello women won the cup. In fact they
went undefeated.
This year the team played its final
match of the season, at home against a
team from Greene Hills on Sept. 12. The
Lake Monticello team recorded a 32-22
win, to complete a second consecutive
undefeated season.
As would be expected, the Jefferson League does not announce its final
standings until all its matches have
been played. There are still a couple of
matches on the schedule, so, no final
standings, as yet. Nonetheless, undefeated is undefeated.
The league includes teams from most
of the top courses in area. In addition to
Lake Monticello and Greene Hills, there
are also teams from Birdwood, Farmington Country Club, Glenmore and Waynesboro Country Club. These are the old line
courses in the area. Spring Creek and Old
Trail are noticeable by their absence.
Matches are played in a format that
requires each team to field three teams
of two players. The three matches are
played on a match play, best ball net
basis. Accordingly, each individual
match has 18 points. Therefore, the
overall three team match has 54 points,
and it takes 27½ points or more to win.
In the match against Greene Hills, the
Lake Monticello women had two close
matches and one blow-out. In the first
match, Barb Beadle and Joy Calfo destroyed their opponents, winning 13-5.
An eight point lead in this format is
hard to overcome, and Greene Hills did
not come close. The second and third
matches were closely contested but the
Winning team members included
Peggy Colville, Jan Shattls, Barb Beadle,
Joy Calfo, Ande Kirchenheiter,
and Jean Murphy.

Lake Monticello team held strong and increased its final lead to 10 points.
The second Lake Monticello team of
Ande Kirchenheiter and Jean Murphy
won 10-8, while the Lake Monticello
team of Peggy Colville and Jan Shattls
held their own with 9-9 tie. Therefore
the final score was: Lake Monticello 32,
Greene Hills 22.
Since there is a shotgun start all three
matches end more or less simultaneously. Therefore, there is no tension of
watching each team come into the last
hole and announce its score, to add to
the prior scores.
In addition to the six women who
played against Greene Hills, the Lake
Monticello women’s team also includes
Chris Hoogmoed, Joan Hansen, and Barb
Senig. The team also has six alternates:
Barbara Barringer, Alice Flanders, Sylvia
Frawley, Andrea Puletti, Pat Ronan and
Pam Batchelor. All of these 15 women
can play, so the team is incredibly deep.
top ten overall, while all of the
girls ran personal bests for the
season. The team
joined the boys’
team in competing at Powhatan
on Sept. 17.
Fluco sports in review
BY LINDSAY PRICE AND MACEN DAHL,
FLUVANNA COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL JOURNALISM PROGRAM
Lindsay and Macen compiled this information with the
oversight of journalism teacher Elizabeth Pellicane
Football
Down 14-0 early in the first quarter and
coming off of a 63-7 loss the previous
week, it seemed as if history would repeat
itself for the Flucos on Sept. 5. In past
seasons, the Flucos tended to automatically throw in the towel when down. But
they seemed to have a different mentality
as they took on Spotsylvania that night,
perhaps being motivated to not go into
their bye week coming off another loss.
“The defense played really well throughout the whole game, especially in the first
half, and kept us in the game so that the
offense could pull through in the second
half,” said junior and team co-captain
Gavin Patrick. The game could have ended
a lot differently, but the hard work of the
defense minimized Spotsylvania’s scoring,
keeping the Flucos in the game and
helping the offense pull out a 24-14 win.
Vinny Agee is currently leading the
Flucos in points for the season with three
touchdowns, while senior and team cocaptain Macen Dahl is in second place.
“We came out ready to play after halftime
and had an easier time of executing our
plays,” said Agee of the Spotsylvania game.
Coach Jason Barnett was pleased by
the win too. “We have earned the opportunity to be successful and I’m happy to
see that result,” he said. The Flucos will
take on Culpeper on Friday, Sept. 19 at
Culpeper at 7:30 p.m.
Boys’ Cross Country
The team has done exceedingly well
in all three meets so far this season. At
its recent meet at Fork Union Military
Academy on Sept. 7, Travis Moe placed in
the top ten for the three miler, running an
incredible 16:13. The team is showing a
lot of promising qualities. “That the team
has been doing extraordinarily well shows
that this year’s team has a lot of promise
and potential,” says Morgan Milburn.
The boys’ cross country team has a lot
of younger runners. The team expects
the older boys to set high standards and
expectations for the younger runners
so that the program will remain strong.
While nowhere near as large as the girls’
cross country team, the boys’ team is no
less of a threat to the competition. “The
team is in full swing now and is more
prepared than ever,” said Milburn.
The boys also ran in the Judges Classic
XC Invitational on Sept. 13. Moe ran an exceptional race, earning a medal and 15th
place overall. In addition, all of the Fluco
runners ran personal bests for the season
at this meet. Their next scheduled meet
was Wednesday (Sept. 17) at Powhatan.
Girls’ Cross Country
The girls’ cross country team has
always been one of the best Fluco athletic programs and this year seems to be
no different. One factor is new blood in
freshmen who have been running for a
long time, but are finally old enough to
compete for a spot in the top seven. “It
feels amazing to finally be old enough
to compete for a top seven spot. As a
middle school runner, your races don’t
really count so it’s thrilling knowing that
your races will finally be counted,” said
freshman Haley Kennedy.
The Flucos have started off the season
well, placing highly in all of their meets.
“As a team, we’ve been working our
hardest but our coach knows we have
even more potential. She says we need
to work better as a team and our destiny
will be even more in our favor,” said
sophomore Jackie Rodriguez.
Like the boys’ team, the girls’ team did
exceptionally well at the Judges Classic
XC Invitational on Sept. 13. Haley Kline,
Jackie Rodriguez, Haley Kennedy, Bridget
Bossong, and Saige Haney all placed in the

• JV and varsity volleyball at Orange 6 and

Golf
The Fluco golf team has had a rather
slow start to their season, but on Sept. 11
the Flucos received their first win in district play, beating the Powhatan Indians
by 202 strokes to 190. It was a huge
boost for the team. Junior Tyler Marshall
explained the team’s potential for the
season. “If we fix the mental errors we
could have a great season. We can’t dwell
on one bad swing. The mental part of
the game is what is holding us back from
our potential and once we overcome that
part of the game we will have a very successful season,” he said.

Volleyball
It’s the final season for senior volleyball players on the varsity team,
and one can see the tension rising
from the girls representing Fluvanna
County. Both the old and new players
seemed ready to fight and lay the ground
work for a winning season at the home
opener on Sept. 4.
A large and rowdy group of Fluco
student fans also made their presence
known that night – the loud bunch of
teenagers seemed to be on a mission to
get inside the Waynesboro Little Giants’
heads. From the start, the girls came out
strong, getting kills early. That, combined with the obnoxiousness from the
student section, appeared to stress the
Giants out, and the Flucos made sure to
capitalize on all of it. The Flucos were
relentless, finishing off every set with
a capping blow to the polished court
and bit by bit, breaking down the Little
Giants both physically and emotionally
until the Flucos won in a shut-out.
“Our connection and chemistry is
really strong because we do everything
as a team,” explained senior LeeLee
Robbins. “We eat as a team, we hang
out as a team, we practice as a team and
that’s why we win as a team.”
Both the JV and varsity teams were

was purchased by John W. Holland in 1934. In 1998 Mrs. Sara Holland Loving donated the cabin
and eight acres of land to the Fluvanna Historical Society. The cabin was restored in 2006.

THIS WEEK’S DOG
Chester is a big sweetheart with a heart of gold.
He is extremely housetrained (hates to soil his
kennel) and loves attention. He pulls some when
walked probably because he is so happy to be
out and about. But since he’s eager to please
a little training should go a long way with him.
Chester arrived with a mast cell tumor on his
leg. It was removed when he got neutered and
may return at some point so his leg should be
watched to ensure that any new tumor is removed quickly.

Canine Concierge and Equine open
for business
BY PAGE H. GIFFORD, CORRESPONDENT
On Tuesday (Sept. 2), the Fluvanna
County Chamber of Commerce cut the
ribbon and welcomed new member
Mary E. Marks, co-owner of Canine
Concierge and Equine (CC&E), a unique
business caring for horses, dogs and
other farm animals while their owners
are away. CC&E is located on a 27-acre
farm in Palmyra. CC&E is a full-service
on-farm dog day care that is fully licensed and insured.
Originally from Needham, Massachusetts, Marks has been self-employed and
providing dog care for 20 years. Marks
talked about her business and her philosophy of care when it comes to other
people’s animals.
“I have lived my life surrounded by
horses and dogs. I currently own two
horses and Pants, a French Bulldog,” On
the side, Marks has always ridden with
foxhounds and has 16 years of experience as a whipper-in (a staff member
who assists the Huntsman with discipline and behavior of hounds in the hunt
field) for the Tanheath Hunt Club and six
years for the Norfolk Hunt Club. She also
stood in as Huntsman for half a season
when her partner John Elliott, the Huntsman, was injured. She is also a graduate
of the Masters of Foxhounds Professional Development Program in 2010.
“I began the business while living in the
suburbs of Boston. When John retired as
Huntsman at the Norfolk Hunt Club he
wanted to move to Virginia, so we made
a decision to buy a house here and move
south,” she said. “One of the deciding
factors was that Fluvanna County was
very receptive to a dog boarding and day
care business, where after much searching I discovered the towns in Massachusetts were not. We completed the move
in June and the business has been a little
slow to take off, but now the word is
getting around about how happy the dogs
are in our care, and we are getting busy.”
“Mary’s concept is a home away from
home for the dogs in her care, with lots
of freedom and home comforts,” said
Elliot. The farm has one acre fenced for
the dogs, with toys, paddling pools, logs
to climb on to and shady areas.
“This allows the dogs to play and socialize freely as opposed to being confined to cages. Through a proper introduction, we ensure they all get along,”
said Marks and Elliot. Looking at the dogs,
size makes no difference, they all seem
content and happy in their surroundings, most of them making themselves at
home, lounging on chairs and couches,
others sleeping side by side. Pants often
joins them for fun and games.
The Fluvanna County Chamber of Commerce held a ribbon cutting and welcomed new member
Mary E. Marks, co-owner of Canine Concierge and Equine on Tuesday, Sept. 2.

When it gets too hot or too cold Marks
has a air conditioned or heated building
with rugs, beds and couches and space for
everyone to relax or play indoors. It is a
real hangout for the dogs; just like home.
Marks and Elliot explain they do the
dog day care for busy owners, which includes free pick up and drop off and the
dog boarding charges are by the number
of nights the dogs stays, so a dog who stays
from Friday to Sunday only pays for two
nights, not three days like most kennels.
“My aim is to make my clients lives
easier,” she adds. Elliott runs the equine side
of the business boarding retired horses.
Back in Massachusetts, Marks regularly
had 32 dogs for day care. She had a well
organized system linked to each dog.
“All the dogs would be dropped home
tired and happy at the end of the day to await
their owners return from work,” said Elliot.
For more information, contact Mary
Marks at http://www.canineconciergeandequine.com/ or call 617-962-0575.
Where
does the
blood go?
BY STEPHANIE PELLICANE,
CORRESPONDENT
Illustration by Hoxworth Blood Central at University of Cincinnati
Every two seconds, another person in the
U.S. needs blood. And since artificial blood
has yet to be created, that means that every
day – every day – 41,000 people nationwide
need to give blood to save millions of lives.
“I give blood because it’s something easy
I can do personally that will directly help
someone else,” said Fluvanna high school
senior Cara Wissinger, who has donated
blood at high school blood drives. “Other
people should give [blood] because we
pretty much have so much blood that we
don’t need...why not give that to someone
who does need it?”
Some people can’t donate blood due to age,
illness, or other factors. For example, after
going on a mission trip to Haiti, Wissinger
can’t donate again until next July. In order
to keep the blood supply pure, blood centers
won’t accept blood from people who have
been to malaria-infested countries for two
years after they return.
Since the pool of available donors is
limited, it is even more important for healthy
people to do so. Can you give blood? You
must be at least 17 years of age (or 16 with
parental consent), weigh at least 110 lbs,
and be in good general health. You can give
whole blood every 56 days, platelets every
seven days, and plasma every 28 days.
Ever wonder exactly where the blood
goes? Is it sent directly to a hospital to be
immediately transfused to a sick patient?
Or is it sent into storage with huge vats of
blood? The American Red Cross breaks
their blood process into five steps:
Step 1
• About one pint of blood (which can save
up to three lives) and several small test
tubes are drawn from the donor
• The bag and test tubes along with the
donor’s information are labeled with
identical barcodes to keep track of them
along their journey
• The bag and test tubes are then placed
into an ice cooler and transported to a
blood center
Step 2
• Spun in a centrifuge, the blood is separated
into transfusable components – red cells,
platelets, and plasma (which can be used
for different patients and different needs)
Step 3
• The blood is received in one of three Red
Cross national testing labs where a dozen
tests are performed to identify the blood
type and test for infectious diseases
• If a test is positive, the unit is discarded and
the donor is notified. (According to the Red
Cross, “test results are confidential and are
only shared with the donor, except as may
be required by law.”)
Step 4
• Platelets are stored at room temperature
for up to five days
• Red cells are stored in refrigerators for up
to 42 days
• Plasma is stored in freezers for up to one year
Step 5
• The blood is available to be shipped to
hospitals 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
A little bit of your time could save even
the smallest of lives. “Because of a rare form
of anemia that my three-year-old son has,
he needs blood transfusions every two to
three weeks in order to survive,” said Marisol
Quintero, the mother of UCLA patient JohnPaul Quintero. “So I urge you... make that
call, make the time and donate blood. It
doesn’t cost a thing and it’s worth more than
all the money in the world - it’s the gift of life
and you can give it,” she said.
To give blood, contact the Charlottesville
Donor Center for an appointment at 800989-4438. Or you can take advantage at one
of these upcoming blood drives in Fluvanna:
– Sept. 20 - 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.
Mt. Zion Baptist Church, New Canton
– Sept. 28 - noon-4 p.m.
Lake Chiropractic (near Food Lion in Palmyra)

Inc. Magazine Names Nest Realty to top list
Nest Realty, a full-service, independent real
estate brokerage with operations in Virginia
and North Carolina, was recognized by Inc.
Magazine as #1041 on the magazine’s annual
500|5000 list of fastest-growing private
companies in the country.
Nest prides itself on being a “different
breed of brokerage,” and the company’s investment in quality brokers and innovative
practices has set it apart from other firms
over the past six years in the swiftly-evolving real estate market.
Key Highlights:
• Nest Realty achieved 428% growth over
the past three years and $7.7 million in revenues in 2013 to qualify for the list;
• Nest Realty ranks as the #6 fastestgrowing, private, American real estate bro-
kerage nationwide;
• Within Charlottesville, Nest is the fifth
fastest-growing company;
• Among all Virginia companies, Nest
ranks #74 on the overall Inc. 2014 list;
For a second straight year, this distinction
now places Nest Realty among a myriad
of notable brands that Inc. has recognized
including Microsoft, Zappos, and Chobani
for their passion and commitment to hard
work. In tandem with this recognition, Nest
Charlottesville ranks first, year-to-date, in
total sales volume in the Virginia real estate
market areas of Charlottesville and Albemarle. In addition to Nest’s current offices
in Charlottesville, VA, Blacksburg, VA,
Hampton Roads, VA, and Fredericksburg,
VA, the company also recently opened its
fifth office in Asheville, North Carolina.
