The bailout worked
Why do conservative politicians
continue to gripe about how President
Obama conducted the auto industry
bailout? The facts are as follows. For years,
General Motors, Chrysler, and Ford had
been in trouble, asking the government
for assistance. Chrysler tried to get itself
bought (again) by a foreign company.
In 2008, President Bush initiated the
auto bailout – essentially a plan to
throw money at the auto companies.
President Obama refused to implement
that bailout until coherent plans for
success were in place. GM overhauled its
management, took the bailout money,
went into temporary bankruptcy, killed
unprofitable product lines, and sold off
peripheral businesses. Chrysler took
bailout money and FIAT completed its
buyout of Chrysler. Auto companies,
suppliers, and unions worked together
to improve processes. Unions voluntarily
gave up cost–of–living increases, dental
coverage, some other benefits, and agreed
to be paid through auto stock funds.
The
bailout
s u c c e e d e d .
Chrysler paid off
its loans in full.
GM
is
paying
off its loans on
schedule. Chrysler,
GM, and Ford are
all profitable and their market shares
are growing. GM recently announced
its most profitable quarter in history.
According to the nonpartisan Center
for Automotive Research, “1.45 million
people are working as a direct result of
the $80 billion bailout”.* So why are
conservatives angry? Candidates Romney
and Santorum argue that the auto
companies should have relied entirely
on bankruptcy processes and should not
have taken bailout money. They ignore
the probability that without the bailout,
the industry could not have recovered
as quickly as it did. Many of those 1.45
billion jobs would have been lost. At one
level, there are sour grapes: Republicans
don’t want to admit that Obama did
anything right.
And there seems to be another reason
for their anger. The prolonged bankruptcy
advocated by Romney and Santorum
would have allowed the auto companies
to kill or weaken the unions, slash wages,
and eliminate benefits. Success of the
bailout appears to be less important to
conservatives than the opportunity to
weaken unions and to run roughshod
over hard–earned rights of American
workers.

Steven Nichols named new county administrator
BY RUTHANN CARR
CORRESPONDENT
The Fluvanna Board of Supervisors
named Steven Nichols the new county
administrator at the bi-monthly meeting
Wednesday (April 4). Nichols, who lives
in Lake Monticello with his wife, Brenda,
is a retired Navy captain and most recently worked as the practice administrator
at Cardiovascular Associates of Charlottesville. The three-year contract calls for
Nichols to be paid $110,000 per year. The
board will evaluate Nichols yearly.
Board Chairman Shaun Kenney (Columbia) said there are many reasons the
board chose Nichols.
“His leadership style is personal, professional and sober,” Kenney said. “He
likes to build things in consensus which
is a great thing in a county leader – it’s
great to have in any leader. His depth of
experience and professional demeanor will serve Fluvanna well for years to
come.”
It was during former County Administrator Jay Scudder’s one-year evaluation
in November that he decided to resign.
Nichols, who said he’s been traveling to
Lake Monticello for 12 years and moved
here six years ago, considered applying
for the administrator’s job when it was
advertised the last time but didn’t feel
he’d been “entrenched here enough.”
When Scudder resigned, Nichols said it
felt like the right time.
“It’s an incredibly good way to serve
in civilian life as I did in the military,” he
said.
Nichols started serving the Fluvanna
community as soon as he moved here. He
was on the Planning Commission before
his post was eliminated due to redistricting, is on the Board of Zoning Appeals
and was in the most recent graduating
class of the Fluvanna Leadership Development Program.
Elizabeth Franklin of the Fluvanna Taxpayers Association said she is happy with
the board’s choice for county administrator.
“I’ve watched him on the Planning
Commission and he asks great questions,” Franklin said. “He’s a thinking
individual. He doesn’t just take things at
face value. He’s a person of reason. I hope
he’s going to be his own person because
we need that.”
With the recent firing of five department heads, Nichols begins his turn as
administrator in a bit of a maelstrom, but
he said he is eager to get started.
“Good colleagues and friends are gone.
Now we deal with the opportunity to re-
build staff,” Nichols said. “We’ll be hiring
in people that can make our team better.
In six months we’ll be thinking ‘Wow,
that was a rough patch, but we’re working now.’”
Nichols said the first order of business
is to finish the budget process, assess
staff needs and hire “a few superstars.”
He already has a phrase he hopes becomes as natural as breathing among
staff.
“The residents of Fluvanna County
need to SEE the results of our labors
through our Service, our Efficiency and
our Effectiveness.”
Hourihan missing one year; authorities ask for help
The search for Robert Lee Hourihan,
who has been missing for one year,
continues.
“The sheriff’s office has investigated
several leads in this case over the past
year, but to date, it is still unknown what
happened to Robert Lee Hourihan,”
said Lt. David R. Wells.
Authorities, as well as Hourihan’s
wife Tara Mae, believe Hourihan was
murdered.
Hourihan dropped from sight on
April 8 of last year. He left his home in
the Columbia area of Fluvanna County
to go to work in Richmond driving a
white
2004
Chevy Cavalier
with
Virginia
license plates
of “TARAMAE”.
Later on that
date, around 8
a.m., Hourihan
was seen at
E.W. Thomas
Grocery Store Robert Lee Hourihan
in
Palmyra
buying a soda
and a biscuit. That was the last time
anyone saw Robert Lee Hourihan.
On May 8, Hourihan’s white Chevy
was located parked in a Target store
parking lot in La Plata, Maryland.
Sheriff’s investigators believe that
there are persons out there with
information vital to this case that have
yet to come forward. Anyone with
any information about Hourihan’s
disappearance should contact Wells at
the Fluvanna County Sheriff’s Office
at 434–589–8211. A cash reward of up
$5,000 is available for information that
helps locate Hourihan.

Study looks at cost of water to Zion
BY RUTHANN CARR
CORRESPONDENT
Doing nothing costs money.
So says the Return-On-Investment
report presented to the Fluvanna Board
of Supervisors by Stephen Williams, executive director of the Thomas Jefferson
Planning District at the April 4 board
meeting.
Bringing water to the Zion Crossroads
area of Fluvanna County has been a
question of concern for years. History
shows it has been a contentious one.
Just a few years ago, Fluvanna was on
the verge of a partnership with Louisa
to make it happen, but a groundswell of
opposition to the agreement and other
reasons stopped it dead in its tracks.
One look at the development at Zion
Crossroads is telling: it’s all on the Louisa side of I-64. Common wisdom is that
without water on the Fluvanna side, it
will remain that way.
Before his seat was eliminated by redistricting, Supervisor Chris Fairchild
(Rivanna) urged the board to take a business approach to the problem and seek
a study showing what kind of return the
county could expect on its investment
to get water to the area.
So the board turned to the TJPD.
Williams said the study showed that
by doing nothing the county is losing
$403,774 yearly. The TJDP used the
Aqua Virginia proposal as a basis of analyzing cost.
The study was based on the current
57 cent tax rate on $100 of assessed
value with gross revenues in the Zion
Crossroads area of $1,573.973 and the
cost of providing services to existing
residents and businesses of $1,977,477.
If the county brought in water, the
study showed after five years a net loss
of $206,660 with slow growth in the
area. With moderate growth, that number changes to the plus side with the
county being $550,082 in the black after five years.
Of course, as growth increases, so do
the numbers with the county seeing a
projected profit of more than $14 million in 10 years.
Don Weaver (Cunningham) wanted to
the basic cost at the outset to the county
of laying a pipeline. Williams did not
have that number.
“Well that’s what I want to see,” Weaver said.
Board Chairman Shaun Kenney said if
the taxpayers couldn’t afford the initial
outlay, the pipeline wouldn’t happen.
“If Fluvanna taxpayers are expected
to pay for it, there’s not fiscal reality to
it,” Kenney said in an interview after the
meeting. “We’re not looking for a free
lunch but some private investor should
be willing to foot the bill or make it so
the numbers make sense.”
Kenney asked that the issue be put on
the agenda for the April 18 meeting.
Elizabeth Franklin, co-chair of the Fluvanna Taxpayers Association, attended
the April 4 Board meeting and took copious notes. Franklin’s involvement in
the Louisa/Fluvanna water agreement
helped lead the grass roots charge that
eventually helped killed it.
During public comments at the April 4
meeting, Franklin encouraged the board
not to rush into a decision and to allow
the public a chance to absorb the study.
“Please make the information available to the public in real time,” she said.
Kenny said his initial assessment of
the study showed that bringing water to
the northern end of Fluvanna is a nobrainer.
“Even with a fraction of the growth,
getting water to Zion Crossroads makes
fiscal sense,” he said. “The question is
how to get it there; how do you make
that happen?
The TJPD water study can be found on
the county website: www.co.fluvanna.

Shadwell bridge will close May 1
The Rt. 250 bridge at Shadwell will
close for repairs for 10 weeks beginning
May 1, according to the Virginia Department of Transportation.
The bridge is undergoing rehabilitation, including replacement of the
entire bridge deck, which requires its
complete closure through July 9.
During the closure, westbound traffic
will be detoured onto I-64 at Exit 129
(Rt. 616/Black Cat Road) and back onto
Rt.250 at Exit 124 (Shadwell). Eastbound traffic will reverse the detour.
All private and commercial entrances
on both sides of the bridge will remain
open during the closure.
VDOT will add an additional lane on
the entrance ramp from Rt. 250 east
onto I-64 east at Shadwell to increase
capacity during peak traffic times. Police will assist the traffic flow at Exit
129 during high-volume periods. VDOT
will monitor traffic conditions using
several temporary traffic cameras and
also provide traffic updates using the
permanent message boards on I-64,
as well as several temporary message
boards along Rt.250. — Source: VDOT

BY KRISTIN SANCKEN
CORRESPONDENT
Former Fluvanna resident and award-winning
performer Chris Daughtry is on his way back
home, or at least close to home. He’s to perform
in at Richmond’s Landmark Theater on April 18.
The 32-year-old Daughtry, one of Fluvanna’s
most famous sons, skyrocketed to stardom after
competing on American Idol before millions of
viewers. Currently he’s on tour in North America.
So what’s this famous Fluco really like? Does
he ever come back to Fluvanna? Is he still a Fluco at heart?
Ask anyone in Fluvanna and they’ll tell you
rumors they’ve heard about Daughtry, who
graduated from Fluvanna County High School in
1998. Some if it is a bit mean, though celebrities
are used to being knocked as well as adored.
They’ll say: “No one liked him,” “he thinks
he’s too good for Fluvanna, that’s why he never
comes back.”
But rumors by their very nature are misleading.
“Isn’t it strange how things get told like that
instead of going to the source?” said Daughtry’s
mother, Sandra, who lives in Kents Store. “I don’t
know where these stories come from.”
What do those who truly know him say? At
the risk of ruining Daughtry’s rock star persona,
most people described him as normal and easy
going, even a bit nerdy. Nothing like the aloof
celebrity most Fluvannians perceive on national
television.
Coming to Fluvanna
James “Pete” and Sandra Daughtry met playing foosball 37 years ago in North Carolina. Both
were just a few years out of high school. Shortly
afterward, they were married and their first son
Kenneth was born. Five years later, on December
26, 1979, Christopher Adam Daughtry was born.
He was in part named Christopher because of
his birthday’s proximity to Christmas.
“Back then there weren’t a lot of Christophers,
of course now you hear it all the time,” said Sandra Daughtry.
In 1994 the Daughtry family moved to Troy
from Lasker, North Carolina when Chris was in
the eighth grade. Pete is a saw filer at the Chips
Inc. saw mill at Zion Crossroads, and his mother,
Sandra, works part-time at Fork Union Medical
Associates.
They are clearly proud of Chris, but not absorbed by his success. Their modest home on a
secluded, wooded lot in Kents Store (where they
moved eight years ago) contains nothing out of
the ordinary – a few family photos on the walls,
a bible on the coffee table, a regular-sized T.V.
The only thing that gives them away as a superstar’s parents is the Daughtry triple-platinum
record plaque in their dining room, given to
them by Chris.
“It’s kind of an awesome thought to think that
a kid – not just because he’s ours – but a kid that
started out working his summers at the saw mill
is where he is right now,” said Pete. “Very few
[kids] have dreams and goals that they set out
and they meet them.”
Chris
started
eighth grade at
Fluvanna Middle
School, and the
next year moved
up to the high
school. In the late
1990s, when Chris
attended Fluvanna
High School, it was
much smaller school
than it is now. Everyone in his senior class
of 154 students has a
memory of him.
“Classes were much
smaller, so you kind of knew
everybody,” said classmate
Sarah Brown Rothchild. “I
remember him vividly, he
was in a couple of drama
classes and in performances,
and he sang.”
“Chris was always a very
artistic guy,” said classmate
Luke Grant. “With an incredible talent vocally, we all knew
Chris had the potential then in
singing. It’s no surprise he is
where he is today.”
Although Chris was neither a
bad student, nor a bad athlete (he
played football for a few years), he
gravitated towards creative endeavors – art, drama and music.

“After we moved up here, with the art
classes and things that were available at
these schools – which we didn’t have
in North Carolina – that was all really a
good influence with him,” said Sandra
Daughtry.
But it took a while for Chris to find
music. His first love was art, particularly
drawing.
“He’s always been a comic book fan,”
said Sandra Daughtry.
It wasn’t until sophomore year that
Chris went to a rock concert with his older brother that he started to take music
seriously.
“His older brother Kenneth and him
went to a LIVE concert. He got real interested in [music] then, and that about
done it for him,” said Pete Daughtry.
Chris came home and asked his dad
to teach him a few chords on the guitar.
Later, Chris and his best friend Ken Davis
formed a band called Cadence.
Throughout high school, Daughtry and
Davis were inseparable. They were both
in a production of The Wiz together – Davis as the Tin Man and Daughtry as the
Scarecrowe – and then again in Peter Pan
– Davis as Peter Pan and Daughtry as the
pirate Smee. Teachers and classmates assumed the two were related somehow because of how well they knew each other.

America certified multi-platinum album

Davis had visited the Daughtrys from
North Carolina, where he was living with
his grandparents, the summer between
his sophomore and junior year.
“He came up here on summer to visit
and didn’t want to go back home,” said
Sandra Daughtry. “He stayed with us for
two years and graduated with Chris. His
grandparents were grateful for him being around Chris’ influence, I guess you
could say Chris was a good role model.”
After being in two plays directed by
drama teacher David Small, Davis and
Daughtry saw him as a mentor and a
friend. They took every class Small offered.
“He was big into martial arts. We had
a lot of stage fighting classes and he was
big into Jean Claude van Damme and that
movie, The Crow, which was big at the
time,” said Small. “I remember when he
auditioned for the Wiz, I remember his
voice. It was a cool, soulful voice.”
Small also remembers their band Cadence performing at school functions
like Fluco Fest.
But what made Chris different than
the average high school student with big
dreams was his tenacity. Music became
his life.
“I’m not really surprised at his talent,”
said Pete Daughtry. “I don’t care what it
was – art, acting or football, he gave everything. He knew what he wanted to do.
Once he got started in music, he would
let anything stop him.”
Ironically, with charisma, stage presence, and his current level of fame Chris
Daughtry was not a popular kid in the
traditional sense. He wasn’t homecoming king or class president, he didn’t
date around. He dated one girl through
out most of high school, Kathy Knight,
whom he met at church. Chris Daughtry
was just a regular guy.
“He was popular among his circle of
friends, but it wasn’t like he was an athlete or a well-known performer,” said
Scruggs.
After his graduation from Fluvanna County High School in
1998, Chris pursued music
full time. Cadence even released an album in 1999,
which can occasionally be
found on eBay.
Andy Waldeck, a Charlottesville-based musician
who fronted the band
Earth to Andy, first met
Chris Daughtry when
he was a senior in
high school.
“He was a pretty
gregarious
and
friendly
guy,”
said Waldeck. “He
came up to me and
said, ‘man we love
your band, will you come
to our band’s rehearsal and
give us some feedback?”
“They had guitar picks and would sign
them and say, ‘remember us
when we’re famous.’ It was
kind of cool,” said high
school drama teacher David Small. “I
used to have it
just stuck on my
[bulletin] board
… when he started making it big I
thought, ‘I’m going
to keep this.”
Still, lots of high school
students have dreams of
grandeur. No one took
Chris Daughtry all too
seriously.
“Generally you don’t
take them too seriously
because the shot for
that is a one in a million shot,” said high
school choir teacher
Horace Scruggs.
Chris designs all of his own guitar picks,
using his artistic talent to draw comic
portraits of band members. See Daughtry, page 14

Waldeck listened to the group, and later let them open a show for him.
“He started out a fan and then we became friends,” said Waldeck. Even after
Chris moved to North Carolina, the two
stayed in touch.
Waldeck has since become a trusted
member of Chris Daughtry’s inner circle, co-writing four songs with him and
working closely with him during the recording process at Cat Room Studio in
Charlottesville.
Moving to North Carolina
and onto American Idol
On November 11, 2000 Chris Daughtry
married his wife Deanna, who had two
young children from a previous marriage,
Hannah, who is now 16, and Griffin, who
is now 14. Chris subsequently moved to
North Carolina to be with her.
“That’s where she was living, so that’s
where he was going,” said Pete Daughtry.
In the Burlington-Greensboro area,
Chris joined another band, Absent Element, which released an album in 2005.
But nearly seven years after graduating
high school, he didn’t feel much farther
into his music career. To further his career, he began taking risks. In 2005, Chris
Daughtry auditioned for the CBS singing
contest Rock Star: INXS, but didn’t make
the cut.
“It was Deanna who encouraged him to
try out for American Idol, I don’t think he
would have done it if it wasn’t for her,”
said Sandra Daughtry.
In 2006 Chris Daughtry flew out to
Denver, Colorado and auditioned for
American Idol, which was in its fifth season.
Singing the Box Tops song, “The Letter” for his audition, the show presented him as a confident southern rocker.
While two of the three judges liked him,
infamously negative judge Simon Cowell
voted against Daughtry, saying he “didn’t
see a hell of a lot of charisma.” But a two
out of three approval was enough to pass
him to the next round.
Suddenly, small-town Fluvanna boy Chris Daughtry was on
national television on a weekly
basis. Word quickly caught on
around Fluvanna County.
“When he was on, he looked
totally different because he
shaved his head,” said Scruggs.
“He had a lot more hair [when
we knew him],” said Small,
laughing. Chris is now bald by
choice. He began shaving his
head in his mid-twenties when
he realized his hairline was receding.
“Once they did the byline and
provided the back story, I knew
he would be on the show for a
while, because they don’t spend
that much time on someone
who doesn’t go on,” said Scruggs.
By May of 2006, Chris Daughtry was in the final four with
Taylor Hicks, Elliot Yamin and
Katharine McPhee. But then
came the shocker. As the nation
watched, host Ryan Seacrest announced the bottom two contestants –
Katharine McPhee and Chris Daughtry.
Even the judged looked aghast. Paula Abdul stood up and put her hands on the
top of her head. Many had predicted that
Chris Daughtry would be the next American Idol. Then, without pause, Seacrest
delivered the bad news, “Chris, you are
going home tonight.” The crowd sat
agape. At home in Fluvanna, his parents
were stunned.
“It was one of the most shocking moments,” said Sandra Daughtry. “I still cry
now if I look back.”
“It was a let down,” said Pete. “It was
bad for us because there was nobody
there from the family with him at that
time when it happened.”
Chris was just as taken aback.
“When he said I was going home, it was
like a kick in the face from Chuck Norris,” said Chris Daughtry in a subsequent
interview with American Idol.
The day before leaving American Idol,
Chris sat down and wrote the song,
“Home” about longing for his family.
“That’s what life is all about, it’s not al-

in 1999.

ways winning,” said Pete Daughtry.
“Home” became one of Daughtry’s biggest hits, becoming a number one single
on the Billboard charts, a 2008 People’s
Choice Award for “Favorite Rock Song”,
and nominated for Best Pop Performance
for the 50th Annual Grammy Awards.
“[Getting kicked off of American Idol]
could have stopped him, but that didn’t
stop him either,” said Pete. “He had it in
his mind that he was going to make it one
way or another.”
“He’s been blessed, the Lord has really
blessed him,” said Sandra.
The profit and price of fame
Since being voted off American Idol,
Chris Daughtry has done better than
most of the show’s winners over the last
12 seasons. Of all American Idol contestants, he’s third in record sales only to
Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson.
He’s also headlined shows across the
country with his eponymous band, and
is worth an estimated $8.5 million. And
all of this from a Fluvanna County kid.
“If you look at it now, he’s more than
a winner,” said Pete Daughtry. ““If you
watch Idol and see how many of these
people win this show and end up not going anywhere, there’s more to it than just
being able to sing. It’s likeability, and he’s
just got a great personality.”
Veteran musicians like Waldeck believe
that Chris would have made it in the mu-
sic business even without American Idol,
but the show certainly didn’t hurt.
“It’s a hard business. The show has
given people an amazing head start,
and it was just what Chris needed,” said
Waldeck.
And while Chris now may be touring
around the country to promote his newest album, Break the Spell, it isn’t all fun
and games. The life of a rock star today
isn’t what it used to be. Gone are the days
of non-stop partying, drugs, women and
jam sessions. The music business today is
just that, business.
“It sounds cool – it is cool – but it’s also
a… load of work,” said Waldeck, describing the near constant circle of writing
songs, recording songs, releasing songs,
touring to promote songs, interviewing
with the press, meet and greets and marketing.
“People think it’s just money and
booze and chicks everywhere, but it’s not
that,” said Waldeck. “Those guys are all
married and they’re all in committed relationships. It’s a job. You don’t go to your
office and get drunk, it’s the same kind of
protocol even if it’s rock and roll.”
And while most who know Chris
Daughtry claim that fame hasn’t changed
him – he still likes comic books and goofing around – it certainly has made him
more cautious.
“With the kind of work that he does,
any time you’re in the public eye, maybe
you learn how to be more cautious with
Daughtry in center of his high school cast.

people, but as far as his personality goes,
none of that has changed,” said Sandra
Daughtry.
Chris has had some hard lessons in the
price of fame and success. Just last week,
three former band mates from his days
in Absent Element filed a lawsuit against
him. They claim that Chris Daughtry defrauded them out of royalties from four
songs that the group had written together.
Chris posted a brief statement on his
website this past weekend in response to
the allegations saying, “I am very hurt by
these false accusations. The songs listed
in the lawsuit were written solely by me
and no one else.”
He’s also learning that you can’t please
everyone. Virginians, especially those
from Fluvanna, grumble that Daughtry
doesn’t do much for the community he
came from.
“He doesn’t mention Fluvanna that
much and that perplexes me,” said Scruggs. “In People magazine he mentioned that
he was in a high school production and
that’s about all I ever head him speak of
Fluvanna. On [American Idol] they made
his home very much North Carolina.”
But Chris does value the friendships
he’s made from his high school days. In
fact, in 2007, when his band was looking for a new guitarist, he recommended
a Fluvanna friend to try out. Brian Craddock, who owns Cat Rooms Studios and
lives in Lake Monticello, became the
band’s most recent member and is currently on tour with Daughtry.
Chris Daughtry also frequently returns
to the area, although no one seems to notice. Just this March, Chris was in Fluvanna, staying with his parents for a week
with one of his 17-month-old twins,
Adalynn and Noah.
“I was so disappointed because he went
through the McDonalds drive thru I said,
‘did anybody recognize you?’ and he said,
‘no’,” said Sandra Daughtry of the Zions
Crossroads McDonalds. “He also went to
Wal-Mart and nobody recognized him.”
Even rock stars stay with their parents,
eat at McDonalds and shop at Wal-Mart.
Or at least, Chris Daughtry does.
“He knows where he came from, he
know where he started, he knows who
he is,” said his dad.

Other successful Flucos
It’s easy to applaud the one guy
in a high school class who became
famous, and put Fluvanna on the
map (not to mention on Wikipedia).
But every year Fluvanna County High
School graduates many students that
go onto be famous in their own right
through successful careers, happy
families and responsible citizenship.
Sarah (Brown) Rothchild and Lucas
“Luke” Grant are two such people. They
were classmates of Chris Daughtry’s at
Fluvanna County High School (FCHS)
and voted “most likely to succeed”
of the class of 1998. They may not
be riding tour
buses
across
the
country
or
appearing
on
national
television, but
their lives have
evolved
in
interesting ways
nonetheless.
Sarah
(Brown)
Rothchild
Sarah is the
first to admit
that she was “pretty driven”
in high school, captaining the
volleyball and softball teams,
and taking Advanced Placement
courses and Piedmont Virginia
Community
College
(PVCC)
dual enrollment courses. When
she entered the University of
Virginia as a freshman, she was a
semester ahead of other students
her age.
Majoring in psychology at U. Va.,
after graduating she went to work in
media relations office for the Atlantic
Coast Conference (ACC) in Greensboro,
North Carolina which she described
as a “spectacular opportunity.”
Rothchild
remembers
Chris
Daughtry “vividly” but wasn’t friends
with him. In fact, they were both
living in Greensboro at the same time
and didn’t know it.
After her time with the ACC,
Rothchild returned to U. Va. to work as
the director of regional engagement,
organizing over 1,200 events for U. Va.
alumni and parents all over the
world.
During this time Rothchild
met her husband, who
had come from Israel to
do his Masters in Business
Administration at Darden.
About a year ago the couple
moved to Bentonville, Arkansas
when her husband was offered a job
at the Wal–Mart headquarters. Eight
months ago, Sarah and her husband
had their first child, a little girl named
Noa. Rothchild is now staying home
with her daughter during the day
and working on a Masters degree in
Higher Education Administration in
the evenings.
“I’m still in touch with a number
of people from my [high school]
class, which is not all that common,”
said Rothchild. “I really have some
wonderful
friendships
f
r
o
m
Fluvanna,”
Lucas
“Luke”
Grant
Luke Grant
was involved
in “everything”
in high school
– sports, music
and academics.
He and Chris
Daughtry were
even in a few bands together. But
Chris Daughtry skipped college
to pursue music and Grant went
to University of North Carolina
Chapel Hill, majoring in
business administration and the
Naval Reserve Officer Training
Corps (ROTC). After graduating,
he spent four years in the Navy,
as an officer onboard a guided
missile destroyer in the Persian
Gulf and Indian Ocean. “I was
out on deployment at the
beginning of the Iraq war and I got an
e–mail from someone saying, ‘hey, I
don’t know if you know about it, but
Chris Daughtry is on American Idol,’”
said Grant. “Of course, out in the
ocean, you don’t have time to watch
TV.”
In early 2006, Luke Grant became
a local celebrity for leading a team
that captured a group of pirates off
the coast of Somalia. After finishing
his time in the Navy later that year,
Grant went back to school to get his
Master’s degree in business at
Darden. He’s currently working
for a Fortune 200 Corporation
called Danaher, as an operations
manager for a facility in
Elizabethtown, North Carolina.
“I’m working for a really good
company,” said Grant. “And I
also still play guitar, saxophone
and sing.”

Making a difference

JOURNALISM PROGRAM

annual Easter egg hunt at Pleasant
Grove. Photo by Kristin Sancken.
Easter Egg–Stravaganza a crowd pleaser
BY PAGE H. GIFFORD
CORRESPONDENT
No one could ask for a more perfect day as
hundreds of people stormed Pleasant Grove,
children in tow, toting pastel colored Easter
baskets in search of eggs at the annual Easter
egg–Stravaganza hosted by Fluvanna County Parks
and Recreation on Saturday (April 7). According to
Aaron Spitzer, events and activities coordinator for
FCPR, in the past four thousand eggs were quickly
scooped up within minutes at the annual event.
This year, FCPR tweaked a few things in the name
of fair play for the old fashioned Easter egg hunt,
including not allowing parents into the hunt zone
with older children.
There was a visit with the Easter Bunny and
along with the Easter egg hunt there was a chance
to find the golden egg placed in each of the hunt
sites and the children who found it, won a prize.
Kids also had a chance to make bunny masks
What to do once the eggs have been found
and the kids have done crafts or visited with the
Easter Bunny? This year FCPR added a couple of
concessions. The moon bounce is always a hit
with the kids and new this year was Miniature Golf
on the Go, with an Easter theme. The aim was to
knock down the Easter obstacles and get an egg
while trying to get through the course and get the
ball in the hole. A hole–in–one automatically got
an egg.
Those that attended had positive responses
regarding the event and the additional concessions
and all will return next year with a few surprises.
Imagine being a young kid and wondering why the
Easter Bunny skipped you this year. How would you
feel?
The Student Government Association (SGA) and
the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) at Fluvanna
County High School are doing their part to ensure
that this does not happen to the children at the Kluge
Children’s Rehabilitation Center. The Kluge Children
Rehabilitation Center is home to many sick youngsters
who do not have many reasons to smile on most days.
So the two groups came together to raise money to
bring smiles to these children’s faces. With the second
annual “Baskets for Babies,” SGA and FCA students had
a table in the FCHS cafeteria at lunches to ask students
for donations. “I think it is for a good cause, and will
benefit a lot of young kids,” said junior Katie Morgan.
Thanks to the overwhelming support, SGA sponsor
Martha Holt said, “It makes me proud to be a Fluco.”
”It is an honor that Kluge has brought us into their
family,” said Holt. This cause helps give children hope
and shows them that there are people out there who
think about and care for them. “It is hard for a young
child to understand why the Easter Bunny skips you,
so we want to make sure this does not happen to these
wonderful kids,” said Holt.
With the money raised, FCA sponsor Nick Ward took
two SGA and FCA members to shop for the baskets.
Junior Amy Parks played an integral role in making sure
the fundraiser was a success. “With the school’s help,
we were able to buy 12 baskets for the sick children,”
said Parks.
The gifts will be delivered to Kluge for an Easter
Sunday surprise. “Not everybody is as lucky as others
and this cause helps them feel special even if it is for
only one day,” said Morgan. On that day, the love shown
by these student groups will let these kids escape their
sicknesses for a day and allow them to feel like they are
on top of the world.
It’s easy to sit back and complain about the little
things in life. But it is important to realize that there
are many others out there who are not so lucky, and
that these sick children did not wish for this. They have
stayed tough through all of their heartaches and rough
times, and now – with the help of FCA and SGA – they
will get that special visit from the Easter Bunny.

Golf group begins its 26 th season
Prucnal advises that the present plan is
that, on April 15, the four greens (5, 6,
7 and 13) that were rebuilt and seeded
in the fall, will be reopened. Golfers at
the Lake Monticello course have been
playing these holes with temporary
greens all winter. Prucnal advises that he
will be working hard with his team this
year to improve the course conditions
in a number of ways. He notes that
“weed control will be a high priority.” He
also expects to work on improving the
condition of the rough on a number of
holes, and the edging around some of the
bunkers. Improving tee boxes will also
be a priority. Many veteran golfers at the
Lake have been impressed by the level
of work that the Casper organization has
already demonstrated. They have only
been on hand since February 1.
The Grey Foxes are anxious to begin
playing a course that has all its holes
open to play and should be doing so
soon. The Grey Foxes is an organization
that encourages players of all abilities
to come out and enjoy the sport Tom
McCarthy, this years’ coordinator for the
eighteen hole group reports that he is
encouraged by participation this season,
as over 100 golfers have signed up to play,
with approximately half in each group.
The coordinators of each Grey Foxes
group set out a schedule of competitions
for the season that include a variety of
two and four man team competitions.
BY DUNCAN NIXON
CORRESPONDENT
The Grey Foxes men’s golf group
resumed play for its 26th year on Thursday
(March 29), at the Lake Monticello golf
course. The Grey Foxes are a 55 and
over group of golfers who elect to play
in either the eighteen hole group which
plays on Thursday mornings, or the
nine hole group which plays on Friday
mornings.
The start of competition by the Grey
Foxes is an unofficial spring opening of
the golf season at Lake Monticello. This
year golfers at the Lake are hopeful that
they will have a successful season playing
over a course that is in ever improving
condition. The Board of Directors of the
Lake Monticello Owners Association has
elected to turn the physical management
of the course over to the Billy Casper Golf
organization. The pro shop operation
remains in the capable hands of golf pro
Mark Marshall.
The Billy Casper Group has brought
in Jim Prucnal, an experienced golf
course superintendent, to oversee the
Lake Monticello course. While Prucnal
is new to the Casper organization, he
has 35 years of golf course maintenance
experience, with 25 years as a golf
course superintendent. He comes to Lake
Monticello from Delaware.
For example, the eighteen hole group
started the season with a four man
team, two best balls, net competition.
In this competition all four players play
their own ball throughout the round
and on each hole only the two best
net scores are counted. Since stronger
players with lower handicaps “get” fewer
strokes during the eighteen hole round,
the weaker players, who may “get”
considerably more strokes for the round,
often have the better net scores on some
of the more difficult holes.
This competition was followed on
April 5 by a four man team captains’
choice competition.. These are typical
competitions which allow strong and
weaker players to be combined on
balanced teams, so that all competitors
have a legitimate chance of winning in
any given week.
A year–long competition that both
the eighteen hole and the nine hole
group play is known as “Ringers.” This
competition is generally scheduled once
a month. The idea of this game is to
record each players’ best gross and best
net score for each hole for the entire
season. Therefore, if a player birdies a
hole during the first ringers competition,
but triple bogies another hole, the birdie
may carry over as his best score on that
hole for the entire season, but the triple
bogie may be replaced the next month by
a bogie, and then the following month by
a par. In this competition, at year end the
low handicap players are almost always
the net winners, while a high handicap
player almost always wins the gross score
competition.
Another interesting competition is
known as “Red White and Blue.” As senior
men, the Grey Foxes usually play from
the forward or senior men’s tees. At Lake
Monticello the tee box markers for these
tees are gold in color. At the Lake Course,
the championship tee markers are blue,
the regular men’s tees are white and the
women’s tees are red. Accordingly, when
playing the Red, White and Blue format,
instead of playing all holes from the gold
tees, the Grey Foxes alternate tee boxes,
hitting from the red tees, the white tees
and then the blue tees. Appropriately, the
eighteen hole coordinator Tom McCarthy
has schedule a Red, White and blue
competition for July 5, the Thursday
closest to the Fourth of July.

How about a hole in one?
One of this seasons golf events takes
place May 16 at Lake Monticello Golf Club.
The Fluvanna Chamber of Commerce
is holding its annual fund raising golf
tournment that benefits scholarship
program. It is a Captain’s Choice event
with prizes awarded in all categories.
Entry forms are available at the Lake
Monticello golf shop and at many of the
Chamber’s members businesses. You
may also call the chamber office at 434–
589–3262. This event is offering a hole
in one prize that is outstanding. The shot
covers 165 yards at the par 3 10th hole
Now. Hear. This. The prize is $10,000 paid
in cash for this feat.
There will also be special prizes for
closest to the pin on the remaining three
par 3s, including an outstanding prize
should there be another hole in one.
Individuals may sign up and be assigned
to a team. Prizes will also be awarded
for longest drive for both the men and
women, both men and women can
participate.
Shot gun start is scheduled for 1 p.m.
with dinner soon after play and prizes
will be awarded at that time also. This is
a very worthy annual event and should
be supported by all residents of Fuvanna
County. Lake Monticello members are
cordially welcome and many are sure to
practice their best 165 yard shots so they
can have a crack at that $ 10,000 hole in
one,
The Golfers Youth Development
Foundation is introducing a program that
has been developed by Lake Pro Mark
Marshall that is designed to uncover
talent from youths that are in the
Foundation’s program. This includes a
skill program to see how well each child
has developed the skills to be able to play
the course. This could well develop future
champions in Fluvanna County who in
turn , once in high school could help
build future championship teams for
Fluvanna High School. This can happen
and Fluvanna support of this program is
encouraged.
Let us all show Virginia what Fluvanna
County has to offer and support both of
these events. The Lake Monticello Golf
Course is on a course of coming back to
its place of being one of the finest and
most fun courses in the state. Let us all
support this effort and make it happen.
–Emil Colmenares who is also working
hard to getting back to the game sooner
than later. Let us all improve along with
our course.

U.Va. women’s rowing team to
compete at Lake on April 14 and 15
BY DUNCAN NIXON
CORRESPONDENT
The University of Virginia women’s
rowing team will be competing at Lake
Monticello again on Saturday April
14 and Sunday April 15. This year the
women’s rowing team comes to the Lake
as the number one ranked team in the
country.
The annual UVA Invitational rowing
event is the only Division I sports event
held in Fluvanna County, and it is a
spectacular one.
This year the Hoo’s will be hosting
number two rated University of Michigan,
Michigan State, Notre Dame, Clemson,
University of Pennsylvania, Cornell,
Northeastern and San Diego.
As usual, Lake Monticello residents will
be treated to wonderful views as fours and
eights glide over the 2000 meter course
that U.Va. coach Kevin Sauer established
after he “found the lake on a map” in
1995, when he was developing his team
and he determined that it needed a
quality venue for its home invitational.
Competitions are scheduled to begin
at 9 a.m. and 1 p.m. on Saturday and at
9 a.m. on Sunday. The area around the
main beach will again be picnic central
as relatives and friends of the competitors
and veterans of past competitions
congregate to cheer on their respective
teams. Spectators are consistently
impressed with the Lake Monticello

the visitors who come from all around
the US for this event.

Tavern on the Rail
Let’s do lunch
81 Tavern Road, Mineral

Open Thursday – Saturday
Lunch 11 a.m. – 2:30 p.m.
Dinner 5 p.m. – 9 p.m.

Worth the lovely drive
We are fortunate to live in an area that
is beautiful, rural and filled with little
history gems. Although Tavern on the Rail
seems to be far away from it all (thirty
plus miles from Fluvanna), it is worth the
lovely drive to dine in the Tavern’s quirky
atmosphere and eat home cooked food at
a modest price.
The building where Tavern on the
Rail is situated has a long history dating
back to 1837 and is now listed on the
National Register of Historic Places.
Originally built and used as a the Harris–
Pointdexter Store and Depot for the newly
constructed Virginia Central Railroad,
the building was burned down during
the Civil War and rebuilt over the old
foundation in 1865. The store had several
families of owners, many of whom had
licenses to sell spirits as well as dry goods
and other items.
In 2001, new owners Melody and
Kenny Bowers carefully restored the
building, with the help and craftsmanship
of Melody’s father, a local native. They
are only open three days a week as the
population is so small, but they pull in
customers from Lake Anna, weekend
campers and surrounding counties.
This is another restaurant that begs to
have the ambience described first. The
parking lot for the Tavern is right up to
the railroad tracks (with a fence keeping
young ones off the tracks). If you are
lucky, and we were, a train will pass
by while you are dining, making your
experience even more authentic. The
dining room is up a short, wide flight of
stairs. A handicap ramp and parking is
located on the side of the building. When
you walk in, you notice the old wood
work on the floors, walls and ceiling.
There are floor to ceiling book cases
on the wall to the right filled with old
knick knacks, memorabilia, dishes, toys,
even boxes of cooking ingredients that I
haven’t seen since I was a child.
My friends and I visited Tavern on the
Rail on a Saturday afternoon and the
place was jumping. First thing we noticed
was a bride in a white gown and a groom
in tails and another man in a tuxedo
sitting at a table in the corner with several
other more casually dressed people.
In the adjoining room, a big party was
going on and we thought they were all
celebrating together. Not true. The couple
was just married in a church nearby and
was having their small wedding luncheon
with some friends.
A much larger and more lively group
was in the room next door, celebrating the
birthday of Mrs. Bumpass, a long–time
native and somewhat of a local celebrity.
She was charming and several of us were
introduced around as we passed through
the room on the way to the ladies room
(another quirky room to check out).
Let’s get to the food. It tasted homemade
and was beautifully presented. The
prices
were
surprisingly
modest
considering that the tables are set with
linen tablecloths and napkins, the service
is excellent and many of the ingredients
are local. Here is a sampling of what we
ordered:
Nancy and I enjoyed a cup of soup of
the day, potato bacon soup at $2.95. It
had depth of flavor and was rich without
being too thick. The taste was mild, and
the slice of country bacon added a little
zest without being salty.
Our entries ranged from sandwiches to
full entrees. Nancy C. ordered the Italian
special melt for $6.95. She thought
the salami, ham, and cheese sandwich
served warm with tomato was absolutely
delicious and the coleslaw that came
as a side was the best she has ever had.
Nancy A. had a very traditional southern
sandwich, a poor boy at $7.95. The bread
was crusty, the oysters golden brown and
tender. Catherine enjoyed her Tavern
hamburger at $6.95 which was not too
large (quarter pound) and topped with
lettuce, tomato and onion. She especially
liked the sweet potato fries.

Myrna ordered the mile high meat loaf
at $8.95 and the presentation was special.
A tower consisting of two large slices of
meatloaf on mashed potatoes, on Texas
toast and the whole thing was topped off
with gravy and onion rings. She thought
the combination of flavors were great and
large enough to have another meal from
it the next day. I really enjoyed the liver
and onions for $7.95, a favorite dish that
I don’t make well at home. The liver was
sliced thin and was really tender and the
platter included tasty mashed potatoes
and country string beans, which had a
very mild bacon taste. There are quite a
few sides available and you can add extra
sides onto your lunch for $1.95 each.
Side salads are just $2.95.
Of course, you know we were going to
try the desserts. We chose two to share.
The lemon crunch cake was moist,
intensely lemony and described as
fabulous by Nancy A. Catherine described
the chocolate cake as dark chocolate,
moist and dense with a little bit of icing
– it was truly perfect. The desserts were
$3.95 each and two of our ladies ordered
another dessert to take home with them.
All drinks including soda, coffee, and tea
are refilled while you dine and are $1.95.
The coffee is fresh and robust and the hot
tea is served in charming china tea pots.
As a matter–of–fact, everyone at the
table is served with different dishes and
cups, which add to the wonderfully
quaint and quirky feel of the Tavern. Even
though so much was going on that day, the
service was attentive and friendly. There
is a small, casual pub area downstairs
that serves pub food and entrees. When
the weather is warm, there are tables for
al fresco dining just outside the pub. Not
only did everyone say that they would
recommend this restaurant to others,
several have already been back to enjoy
wonderful home cooking in an unusual
setting at great prices. Please let me know
what you think about this restaurant
and others that I review or suggestions
for future restaurants by emailing me at

New Lake manager takes on challenges
BY KRISTIN SANCKEN
CORRESPONDENT
Get to know Catherine Neelley
Just two months into her new job as
general manager of Lake Monticello,
Catherine Neelley sits confidently in
her office, jotting off e-mails. It’s two in
the afternoon. She hasn’t eaten lunch
yet. She’s been too busy.
“It’s one of those interesting jobs
where I can come in the morning and
be at the golf course talking about
irrigation and then over with the police
talking about gates, and then I spend
my afternoon sending e-mails about
dredging the lake,” said Neelley. Neelley
had also spent time that day discussing
Fourth of July fireworks and looking
over applications for the business
administrator position. Kym Sampsell,
who was on long-term leave, will not
be coming back to fill the position.
Neelley has her work cut out for
her, with nearly every area of Lake
Monticello in need of attention. The
budget, the golf greens, broken gates,
homes for sale, key staff positions
open, water rates going up, at-times
burdensome association fees – you
name it, she’s dealing with it. But
Neelley seems unfazed by tough
problems.
“We dealt with some pretty big issues
when I was president of the board,”
said Neelley, referring to when she was
head of the board for Lake Monticello
from 1996-1998. “We sold the service
company, we added the Acres, we
dredged the lake for the first time –
major steps that didn’t seem like major
steps at the time because we were busy
doing them. It’s kind of interesting to
see the same issues come up again.”
Neelley is a 1982 graduate of Old
Dominion University, who worked
her way through school as a customer
service manager for Sears Roebuck.
After graduation she worked for
several years for Zales jewelry stores.
When her children were born, and the
family was living in Charleston, South
What is the best and worst decision you’ve ever made?
Too soon to tell. Every day represents the opportunity to make a new best or worst
decision.
What was your dream job as a kid and why?
Until about the age of 9, I wanted to be a nun because of the cool outfit.
What leader inspires you and why?
Thomas Jefferson, because he eloquently stated the principles which are the
bedrock upon which this nation was built. He also died knowing that he and his
generation had not always lived up to those ideals.
What’s your favorite book or movie and why? To Kill A Mockingbird. It is such a powerful story about moral conviction,
compassion, love of family and strength of character. Best of all it is told through the
innocent eyes and perspective of a child. Plus, I love the accents.

Carolina, Neelley began volunteering
on a plantation giving historic home
tours.
“It gave me the bug,” she said,
referring to her love of historic homes.
After moving to Lake Monticello in
1992, she began giving tours at Thomas
Jefferson’s
Monticello,
eventually
becoming the house tour supervisor
and then the assistant director of visitor
operations.
When she heard John Korhonen,
the former general manager of Lake
Monticello, resigned in November, at
first it didn’t occur to her to apply.
“I didn’t think a lot about applying
for it until people started saying,
‘hey, have you thought about the job,
because we think you’d be good for it,’”
said Neelley.
Over 100 people applied for
the position. She credits her Lake
Monticello community involvement
for giving her the leg up on other
candidates.
“I think it’s my familiarity with
the controlling documents that the
association operates under, and
knowledge of the community of people
who work here on staff and have been
involved in committees,” said Neelley.

If you had to teach something, what would you teach?
I would teach American history, but disco dancing is my hidden talent. One that my
kids would really appreciate me keeping hidden.
Bringing technology
to the Lake
As for changes she’d like to see,
Neelley sees the Lake at a critical
turning point in its use of technology
to become more effective and efficient.
“I think we’ve done things the same
way here for many years,” said Neelley.
“There are ways we can incorporate
technologies and new organizational
thinking that would really be a benefit
to us. I think the LMOA Voice is such an
interesting way to communicate with
our property owners.”
The new Lake Monticello Owners
Association
website,
LMOAvoice.
org, which went live on Feb. 1, will
eventually replace Friday Flyers, and
includes an online events and activities
calendar, classifieds, meeting notices,
and alerts that flash across the top of
the screen.
“I’ve already experienced it,” said
Neelley. “We’ve closed once since I’ve
been in this job, because of the big
snow storm, and to be able to get online
from home and be able to post that to
the property owners immediately is a
great bonus.”
Another recent change is the
introduction of an Intacct Software
package, which allows property owners
to pay dues online, as well as view the
financial status of the Lake at any given
moment.
“We will be able to provide regular
financial updates to property owners,
opening us to transparency,” said
Neelley.
Homes for sale
With over 200 homes for sale within
the Lake Monticello development,
sustaining the sense of community with
many desired home sellers forced to
rent or foreclose is a concern for many
area residents. But since the Lake’s
situation is a reflection on a larger
national trend, Neelley is optimistic
about the future of the development.
“It is a tough time economically,” said
Neelley. “I think it’s going to be a time
that we see neighbors pulling together
and helping each other out. We’re a
strong community and we’re going to
come through this. When we see the
market rebound, we’re going to feel
that rebound quicker than other places,
but it’s going to be a few tough years.
For the value that you get for your
dollar here, I think it’s always going to
be a desirable place to live.”
Water rates going up
Yet another issue of concern to Lake
Monticello homeowners is the high
water rate. The average home in Lake
Monticello writes a check for $130 a
month to Aqua Virginia, while homes
of similar size in Albemarle County
spend one-third to half of that.
In November, Aqua Virginia, which
operates water and sewer for 4,300
Fluvanna households, announced
it was asking the State Corporation
Commission (SCC) for a 9.9 percent
increase overall. Neelley is keenly
aware of how another potential rate
increase will affect Lake Monticello.
“We are going to participate in the
hearings,” said Neelley. “We sent a
notice to the SCC to present rate impact
issue, but also have the ability to ask
questions about the submittals that
have been made on the part of Aqua
Virginia. We certainly understand that
there are infrastructure costs, but we
just think that the rate increases need
to be reasonable and supported by
documentation, and we just got a rate
increase a year ago.”
The Lake Monticello Owners
Association created an ad hoc
committee to study and advise the
Board of Directors on how to respond
to Aqua Virginia’s rate hike request to
the State Corporation Commission.
The Fluvanna Board of Supervisors
has also opposed the rate increase.

THIS WEEK’S PET
Cleo (or Cleopatra) is a striking little
tortoiseshell kitty. She was brought
in, thin and hungry, on Memorial Day weekend 2011 with her
five kittens. She is about two years
old and is quiet, but can be moody
and show some “tortitude” sometimes. Her babies have all been
adopted and now this little doll
needs her own forever home. If you
would like an independent petite
kitty, Cleo would be perfect for you!

Mentor influences yoga contestant
BY PAGE H. GIFFORD
CORRESPONDENT
Yoga has become the trend of a new generation
searching for inner peace while staying limber in their
later years. Tara Young is one among many who takes
her yoga seriously at Orme Family Fitness.
“I have done yoga sporadically over the years with
a video, but my regular practice began only thirteen
months ago with Carolyn Kardan in her classes at Orme
Family Fitness,” said Young. On Thursday mornings, a
group of regulars, Young included, parade into class at 11
a.m. their mats tucked neatly under their arms. Carolyn
is the instructor who also teaches a Cross Circuit Training
class the same day.
It was Karden who encouraged Young to enter the Yoga
Journal Magazine contest. To become a contestant, Young
had to submit a picture of herself doing a yoga pose. She
stated it was difficult to choose only one pose and asked
her yoga class and closest friends and family to help her
choose between a dozen of her top photos. Surprisingly,
everyone kept choosing the same two which made the
decision easier.
Young also had to come up with a 300 word answer
to “How yoga inspires me”. Young admits that trying
to express an answer with only using 300 words was
extremely difficult for her but she somehow managed to
get it done in exactly the 300.
Young recites her contest answer. “Yoga inspires me to
stop hiding my light...and to start allowing it to radiate
from the depths of my spirit. Yoga quiets the chatter of
my mind and allows me to hear the truth that has been
within me all the time. I am beautiful. I am strong. I am
radiant. Share that light with the world,” she said.
One grand prize winner will receive a roundtrip
domestic coach flight to San Francisco, with a two
nights stay in a hotel of Yoga Journal’s choice, and all
meals and transportation included in the trip, a value
of approximately $1,500. The grand prize winner will
be invited to participate in a full day photo and video
shoot to appear in the October issue of Yoga Journal. All
five finalists with the most votes (and approved by Yoga
Journal staff) will each receive gift cards from Athleta
valued at $250 each.
“If I had even thought of entering on my own, I would
have talked myself out of doing it before I had a chance
to even glance over the contest information. It was
Carolyn’s sweet, excited face rushing over to me at the
beginning of class with all the information highlighted
for me in her own Yoga Journal, asking me if I would be
interested in giving it a shot. Her faith and belief in me
was so touching I would never even imagine saying no,”
said Young.
“Carolyn will give us words to use as a focus during
a meditative exercise, like I am strong. I am confident.
I am powerful. I am beautiful. Words my brain, like so
many other women, try to convince me that I am not.
But somehow, if I can accept the truth that I don’t have
to listen to everything my mind tries to tell me, these
words are slowly begin to seep deep into my spirit and
are becoming my new truth. I become a more powerful
woman in body, spirit and mind every time I practice
yoga. And in giving myself permission to be all these
things, I silently give others around me the permission
to do the same. It’s an endless gift that just seems to keep
giving even when we are not aware of it.:
Young explained, like so many, why she is lured to
Yoga. ”Physically, yoga keeps my body agile and the
stretching it provides keeps me from suffering from
stiffness and my joints from losing their range of
motion. It helps my posture and just overall gives you an
incredible awareness of your body and where you may
have some tightness that may need special attention. It
Tara Young entered the Yoga Journal Magazine contest.
also improves your grace and balance,” she said. “When
I was down at the ashram we were required to do five
hour and a half long Hatha classes per week. Without
even knowing it, I came back home after a month and
had the most incredible muscles in my arms. I could even
feel triceps. Spiritually, I would say that when you learn
to listen to the silence and not all the confusing, endless
chatter that I seem to carry in my mind, enables me to
connect to my sweet and glorious God who teaches me
that everything that I need to survive this world, all the
strength recurred lay inside of me. All the peace and love
is right there waiting for me to call on.”
“During a tough pose, we are taught to breathe into that
area that most needs it, whether it is our physical body
arguing with me that I cannot go any further or last any
longer, and it is amazing how simply a deep breath, you
imagine going to that area, truly enables you to do just
that. You become stronger in such a quiet way you don’t
even realize it’s happening, until one day in class you
are holding a pose that you just knew thirteen months
ago was physically impossible. Yet there I am doing it.
And all I learn from the physical side I begin to carry into
the mental in spiritual side. During a difficult period in
your day, or life, you stop to quiet yourself and breathe in
deeply into the bottom of your gut, and suddenly all the
strength and patience required becomes available from
right there inside of you,” Young said.
There are many forms of Yoga. Karden teaches Iyengar
Yoga, which is a style based in Hatha Yoga, emphasizing
correct body alignment in the asanas (postures) and
holding the asanas for extended periods of time. Props are
also used to help achieve and support the asanas. Young
explains that Hatha yoga is a path of yoga based on
physical purification and strengthening as a means of
self-transformation.
“It encompasses a system of asanas, designed to
promote mental and physical well-being and to allow the
mind to focus and become free from distraction for long
periods of meditation, along with pranayama (breath
control). We also have a touch of Vinyasa which is a continuous
flow of the poses that is so incredibly beautiful to watch,
Photo by Page H. Gifford.
it reminds me of a ballet. Carolyn somehow, masterfully,
manages to incorporate all of this into her classes.”
In September, Young stated she was lucky enough to
spend an entire month in the Satchidanda Ashram in
Buckingham County, where she was immersed into the
full yoga culture.
“Talk about stepping out of the box. We were required
to do a certain amount of Karma Yoga for hours,” she
said. She explains that Karma Yoga is basically anything
from kitchen, housekeeping and even farm work. “The
idea is to give selfless service, not to look at it as work,
but the joy and comfort it brings to all the visitors and
staff of the ashram. I loved this part the best. My biggest
challenge was cleaning the men›s urinals. I hated doing
it which in turn made me so upset with myself that I
wasn›t able to forget about myself and do it selflessly. I
got better with it by the end of the month at which point,
after sharing my difficulties and some wisdom how to
get past that block, the Swami, who is in charge of our
program decided that women shouldn›t be cleaning
men›s urinals at all. I thought that was funny. I feel like
I have forever relieved the ladies that follow me from
having to participate in that icky not so selfless service. It
was an experience I will never forget and look forward to
spending some time in the Bahamas Ashram as well as
one in India,which will require a little more discipline.”
Young is taking the contest in her stride. But entering
into the contest was a small challenge and one she would
never have attempted. For her what she has learned
about herself and her body during this time of discovery
is the most valued gift of all.
“But truly, I think the biggest perk was the realization
of how much easier it is for me to do something out
of my comfort zone when I step out of my own minds
chatter and think of the joy and excitement it could bring
to another human being,” she said and added, “In this
case Carolyn. I will never forget the excitement in her
eyes when I said I would do it. I don›t think she will ever
understand how many gifts she has given to me over the
last thirteen months. Gifts that I will carry with me my
entire life and hope that somehow I can pass that onto
someone else.”

Up a tree with Henry Chandler
BY PAGE H. GIFFORD
CORRESPONDENT
Anyone who has ever met Henry
Chandler will tell you he is a caring,
humorous, individual and an honest
businessman. A former teacher, he now
is the owner and operator of Henry
Chandler’s & Company, Inc. He’s a tree
doctor and also a minister.
He’s a man of many tastes. He has an
interesting art collection housed in a
home he built himself. Even the beams
that hold up the cathedral ceiling are
handmade by Chandler from small
blocks of various woods. They interlock
perfectly. And as one would expect, the
landscaping is immaculate.
Surrounded by his object d’art –
including everything from ancient
African masks, to 2,000 year old Roman
bracelets, Chandler spoke about his past
and his present during an interview.
You were once a teacher in your former
life. What did you teach?
I taught high school and college
mathematics. I served as the (math
department) chair at Fluvanna County
High School during the ‘80s and
was (math department) chair of the
Monticello High School when I retired in
2002. I also coached seven sports teams,
including a rifle and pistol team at the
Fork Union Military Academy back in the
‘70s. While teaching at the Department
of Correctional Education, in 1996 I was
awarded The Commonwealth Teacher of
the Year award.
What were the highlights of teaching?
What was the downside?
I loved teaching, I felt it was a calling.
If I had it to do over again, I would still
be a teacher and a coach. There is also
a downside to every aspect of life. In
education it was all the various meetings
and conferences that were mandatory; to
me it took time away from teaching and
coaching.
Why did you leave teaching?
After 31 years of teaching in public and
private schools, colleges and with the
Department of Correctional Education, it
was time to close one loving chapter in
my life and open a new chapter. In 2002,
I started on the road to seminary, fulfilling
a lifelong dream of being an ordained
minister and got my second Masters in
Divinity degree. I guess you could say
Jesus inspired me. I cannot walk without
him holding my hand much less climb a
tree.
What made you decide to
start a business?
Honestly teachers do not make a lot
of money. Back in 1971, I would bring
home $371.54 per month. The idea of
starting a business became paramount
to supplement teaching. I was inspired to
be a tree surgeon by a former assistant
superintendent of schools, who was
a gentle giant of a man, a VPI graduate
and exceptional educator and coach.
We worked together for years in the tree
industry. He was a mentor in a tough and
dangerous business and he taught me
well.
How long have you been in the tree
business?
Time flies when you’re having fun. It
seems like yesterday when I bought my
first chipper-shredder. I’ve seen a many
innovations in all phases of the industry
equipment. It is safer today but still
potentially dangerous. That is why we
stress safety all the time with the men.
Other than tree removal, what other
services do you provide?
Great question, and many people
think we only do tree extractions, crown
elevations, and stump grinding but we
also apply systemic root treatments,
which not only fertilizes the tree or shrub
but provides a super insecticide for up to
a year. We also deep root fertilize with
larger trees. When storms roll through
we try to be there for emergencies. We
can also do steel cabling and microinjections against the common oak borer.
Technology is really helping us to save
more trees than ever before. We now
have an 18 horsepower debris loader/leaf
vacuum, very useful for fall and spring
clean-up of leaves.

Other than trees we also have
a landscaping service, we re-rock
driveways, complete yards with topsoil,
screened fill dirt, compost, all types of
mulch and different types of rock that
assist us in the landscaping end of the
business. It really keeps us hopping. Not
only does the mulch look great but it
keeps moisture around the roots of the
shrubs and trees and during biodegration,
it puts minerals back into the ground
between the roots and the ground. Three
inches is the magic number for mulch
depth. Do not pile mulch around the base
of the trees it is not a healthy thing to do
for your landscape investment.
What should customers look for when
choosing a contractor for removing
trees?
Is he licensed and insured? These are
questions customers need to ask when
hiring someone to do a job. Check with
the Virginia Department of Professional
and Occupational Regulation for
information on contractors. Does this
contractor advertise, is advertising seen
on his truck, if there is no advertising this
could be a red flag and what shape is the
truck in? And look for the quality of the
equipment. This gives you clues to the
contractor’s reputability.
You have supported many causes in
the community, what are some of the
things you have been proud of in
making a difference?
There are many needs in every
community everywhere. Currently my
wife, LaVerne and I sponsor three children
through Compassion International, two
in South America and one in Africa. This
is a wonderful opportunity to help a child
in another country receive nutritious
meals each day, medical attention and
a Christian education. We also support

missionary work with Rafiki Foundation.
Here at home we tithe with our local
churches and contribute to Habitat for
Humanity, Special Olympics, Fluvanna
Fire and Rescue, Rivanna Lion’s Club,
Caring for Creatures the Horse”N”Around
with the 4H Club. Recently we supplied
compost, topsoil, double shredded mulch
and guidance with our local BB&T bank
in a project planting trees along the
highway to help beautify our town of
Fork Union.
Don’t you also do firewood program for
those in need in Fluvanna?
Yes and for the past fourteen years we
have delivered aged split wood to many
families. This past winter we delivered
over 25 cords to a variety of people,
ranging from young couples out of work,
to elderly folks and some with disabilities.
There is a great feeling that comes over
you when you can give a gift and expect
nothing in return.
His wife LaVerne also helps him in the
business as does his four legged children,
Paula the Pug and their rescue beagle Katie
and two rescue cats. Katie is a special story
in itself. While driving home one night
from a job, Chandler spotted several dead
dogs on the side of the road. One lay in the
middle of the road as he came to a grinding
halt, hoping the chipper-shredder would
not do a 360 degree flying turn. This tall,
burly man scooped up the ragged, starved,
half-dead dog in his arms and brought
her home with him and she has been with
him and LaVerne ever since. Perhaps this
explains Henry Chandler best.
