Crime Victims’ Rights
Week Observed
National Crime Victims’ Rights
Week, an annual observance
designed to raise awareness about
victims’ rights, is April 18-24. This
year’s theme, “Crime Victims’ Rights:
Fairness. Dignity. Respect.”, recommits victim advocates to ensuring
that all victims know about their
rights, and that victims are treated
with fairness, dignity and respect.
Many years ago, victims’ concerns
were not considered in the criminal
justice system. Victims of crime
therefore suffered unfairness, indignities and disrespect. In recent
years, attitudes have changed. As of
2010, every state has passed victims’
rights laws and has compensation
funds; there are constitutional
amendments in more than 32 states,
including Virginia; and more than
10,000 victim assistance programs
exist throughout the country. Such
changes have made victims participants, rather than bystanders, in the
criminal justice system.
Crime victims need help but may
not know where to turn for assistance. As director of the Fluvanna
Victim/Witness Assistance Program,
located in the commonwealth’s
attorney’s office, I work to ensure
that victims are aware of their rights
and help them navigate the criminal
justice system. The prosecutors then
work diligently to ensure that victims are treated fairly when their
cases proceed to court. In 2009, our
office assisted over 250 victims with
offenses including robbery, sexual
assault, domestic violence, breaking
and entering, larceny, and malicious
wounding. These are real victims in
our own community.
No one wants to be a victim or to
have to come to court. But, if you
are a victim, you play an important
role in the criminal justice process,
and you have rights. You have the
right to information, to be present in
court, to request restitution, to
explain the impact of a crime in
felony cases, and to advance notification of court dates, among others.
Above all, crime victims have the
right to fairness, dignity and respect.
Sherri L. Stader,
Director Victim/Witness
Assistance Program

Attorney’s Office

board which would be contested atlarge throughout the county.
If one assumes, for example, a census count of about 26,000, and Lake
Monticello at forty percent of that (or
a bit over 10,000 residents), then that
would suggest that residents of Lake
Monticello would be entitled to three
supervisors, and the remaining county
residents five. Add to that a chair
elected at-large and the board would
have nine members.
And what is the point of an at-large
chair?
The
chair,
or
the
chairman/chairwoman for those who
prefer clarity, if effective, does more
than just run the meeting. A strong
board leader can guide the agenda,
develop a work program and cajole
board members. If elected at-large,
the chair also would be a moderating,
rather than polarizing, influence on
the board.
It is no secret that Cunningham is the
most conservative of the districts, while
Fork Union and Columbia the most liberal. An at-large election would force
candidates to take all of those views
into account and defend them to a
much more politically diverse audience. That would be a good thing and
something that would temper the more
ambitious. Ideology still could prevail,
but there would have to be a more rigorous defense of positions and a
greater critical examination of issues.
Or so one might hope.
In any event, supervisors will have
to face these issues after the census
data are published. There is an opportunity here to fix something that has
not particularly served the public well
over the past few years. The census
requires that it be fixed every ten
years, even if it is not broke. In this
case, it is.
HOURS: M- F 7:30AM to 5:00PM; Sat: CLOSED
A L L F LU VA N N A
The problem with the board of
supervisors as it now is constructed is
that it takes a two-thirds vote to
approve anything. Obviously, it only
takes three votes out of the six to
block anything. Now depending upon
ones’ perspective, that can be a good
or bad thing. But it is not very representative of the people.
Electing a pope requires a twothirds plus one vote – passing a county budget should not.
So what to do. Fortunately, the 2010
census provides an opportunity to set
things right and to increase representation. Because of the one person –
one vote principle, it is time to
readjust the political boundaries in the
county to reflect demographic growth
and distribution.
Supervisors have the opportunity to
make the board not only more representative, but also more democratic.
All they have to do is increase the size
of the board by an odd number.
Increasing by one to seven members
would solve one concern, mitigate
another, and do nothing to fix a third.
Here are the concerns supervisors
could correct:
The problem of requiring a super
majority noted earlier;
The issue of proper representation:
if estimates are correct, Lake
Monticello residents should have
about forty percent of the seats on the
next board; and,
Let the people elect the chair
through a countywide vote for that
position.
Here is one solution that would
solve all three: increase the number
of seats on the board to nine, with
eight representing specific districts
and the ninth be for the chair of the

Feda Kidd Morton Campaigns at Lake Monticello
BY PAGE H. GIFFORD
CORRESPONDENT
Feda Kidd Morton .
Fluvannian Feda Kidd Morton
spoke to a group of Republicans at a
breakfast at Lake Monticello
Saturday. Morton is among seven
candidates running for 5th district
congressional seat held by Democrat
Tom Perriello.
Morton says she had never considered running for congress until
Republican Virgil Goode – who lost
to Perriello in the last election encouraged her to take the plunge.
“A grass roots woman would have
a chance against Perriello,” she said
Goode told her.
“We need to return to our founding
documents and I encourage you to
read the Constitution,” Morton told
the
gathered
Republicans.
“Government does not control you,
you control government.”
Morton spoke about her humble
roots and how her mother went to
work and held together a family of
six children after her father died.
“Someone told me, God made the
bird and the worm, he did not give
the worm to the bird.
“We are overtaxed and businesses
are over-regulated and this hurts
those looking for work because companies may not be able to provide
the jobs needed,’’ Morton said. “We
need a free enterprise system.” She
is also in favor of decreasing taxes on
families and small business owners
so that they can expand and create
new jobs.
She believes in the need to cut
wasteful spending, in a strong
national defense, and to stop illegal
immigration. She is also opposed to
government-run health care.
“Government
cannot
keep
expanding and expect revenue when
people are out of work.” She then
pointed out that a federal employee
has $40,000 in benefits while the
average American only draws
$9,000.
Morton has a B.A. in biology from
Longwood University and a Master
of Education Degree in motor learning and sports medicine. She began
her teaching and coaching career in
Buckingham County, where she was
born and raised, eventually moving
to Fluvanna.
Von Keyserling Wins
Teaching Award
Virginia educator Gayle von Keyserling was named as a runner up for
the national 2010 Toyota Family Literacy Teacher of the Year award April
11 at the National Conference on Family Literacy in San Antonio.
Von Keyserling, who specializes in adult education, GED preparation
and English as a Second Language, has worked at Families Learning
Together in Palmyra for eight years. As part of the award given by Toyota
and the National Center for Family Literacy, she received a scholarship to
the NCFL conference and a $500 grant for travel expenses.

On November 6, 2009, a vehicle
failed to negotiate a curve on Rt. 53
near the Effort Baptist Church. The
vehicle, a pickup truck belonging to
James Raymond Sisson, was driven
deep into the woods without any
indication that its brakes were
applied.
A short time later, an off-duty
Fluvanna County sheriff’s deputy
observed the truck in the woods. He
called 911 for assistance. When he
approached the pickup, he encountered Sisson. At that time the deputy
observed a strong odor of alcohol
emanating from Sisson, according to
a court official. His eyes were bloodshot and his speech slurred. A
breathalyzer test administered later
showed a blood alcohol ratio of
.18%, more than twice the legal
limit. Sisson was arrested and
charged with felony driving while
intoxicated and driving with a suspended license. This was his third
intoxicated driving offense within
the last five years. His last conviction
was within seven months of the
November incident.
At the jury trial held on April 9th,
testimony was presented to establish
the offenses, including the breathalyzer results and the time of the 911
call. Breathalyzer tests must be
administered within three hours of
the accident to be admissible in evidence.
Sisson’s attorney countered the
prosecution evidence with testimony from the defendant and his girl
friend that he was not driving the
truck. They attempted to raise doubt
about the timing of the accident in
order to render the breathalyzer test
results inadmissable.
Assistant Commonwealth Attorney
Frank offered rebuttal testimony
using the information obtained from
several recorded telephone conversations. While Sisson was in custody
awaiting trial, the commonwealth
attorney retrieved several telephone
communications made by the defendant to his girl friend, his mother
and sister. (All telephone conversations involving inmates are recorded.) This information enabled the
prosecution to refute the defendants
claim that he was not the operator of
the truck.
After deliberating for approximately 35 minutes, the jury found
the defendant guilty of both charges
and recommended a total of four
years in prison and fines totaling $2,
000.
Sisson was remanded to the
regional jail pending sentence on
June 24th.

Throughout the morning Nicole Lloyd, organizer of the event, stayed busy drawing names of lottery winners. “It costs about $5000 to put on this
event,” Lloyd said. “We get help from a Quality
Initiative grant and all the prizes are donated by
local businesses and agencies. One of the biggest
costs is all the freebies we give out.”
At the side entrance to the school Norma Searcy
was handing out those freebies—tee-shirts, tote
bags, pencils, sticky notes and lip balm.
“It’s always a well-attended event,” one volunteer related with a smile, “Last year I think we had
about 400 people show up.”
It’s not clear how long the annual Celebrating
Children Fair has been going on—one source stated, “8 to 10 years,” another remarked “at least 10
years.” What is clear is an extraordinary variety of
resources and services are available in Fluvanna to
address the needs of local children and their families. As a bonus, those in attendance had a great
time.
“The fair is a tradition [in Fluvanna]—an annual
event held at the middle school,” Angell Husted of
Angell’s Dance & Fitness Studio, explained.
“Businesses, organizations and agencies that
have anything to do
with children are invited—there are at least
twenty here today.”
The cafetorium at
Fluvanna Middle School
was alive the morning
of Saturday the 17th
with an exciting variety
of interactive exhibits
and purveyors of information. “There will be
demonstrations too,”
Angel continued and
pointing to a framework

Pamela and Britt Johnson and all
of Pamela’s four sisters and a brother are pulling together to raise funds
for the American Cancer Society’s
Relay For Life.
As a team, they have been raising
funds to donate and recently hosted
a fundraiser dance at Lake
Monticello.
The
local
band
Borderline came out to entertain. It
was a good time for a good cause.
“The turn-out was low but the spirits were high and attending supporters had a great time. Of course, I was
highly disappointed with attendance, but for such few people there
we actually raised $600 before
expenses and ended up with
$360.00. My count was 33 people,”
said Pamela Johnson, who wept
when the band, Borderline donated
$110 of their evening’s proceeds.
“This has no way discouraged me
from doing a similar event again. In
fact, supporters at the event said
they would like me to do another
dance with the same band. So, I'm
happy that I raised some money and
made quite a few people very happy.
That's something,” she said.
Some area businesses, local
crafters and artists also donated
items for the raffle which helped to
raise some of the funds during the
dance. The local businesses included: Fluvanna Hardware, Salon
DeShano, Ashlawn Grille, TJ's
Tavern/DoubleTree Hotel, Palmyra
Automotive, Joann Oss, Harold and
Mary Ann Hayward, Britt Johnson,
Wayne and Karen Craig and Alan and
Nancy Steward.
“We are doing this because our
mother died from cancer,” said
Pamela Johnson, who believes in the
work of the American Cancer
Society. This is why she, her husband and siblings have formed a
team to raise funds to help others
and find a cure.
This was certainly an evening for
celebrating life and remembering
those lost.

Relay For Life is a worldwide notfor-profit movement, bringing
together more than 3.5 million people, raising funds while raising
awareness. Many communities like
Lake Monticello, host Relay For Life
events.
Relay For Life is an overnight
event, where survivors and families
of those who lost their lives to cancer can come together, raise money
for research and give support to
those fighting the disease. There are
many ways to help including volunteering. “Those who couldn’t make it
to the dance we will still take donations,” said Pamela Johnson.
So far there have been 307 participants making up 58 teams which
have raised over $28,000. But more
still needs to be done in the next
forty one days before the relay on
May 22-23, at the Monticello High
School.
For those interested in supporting
Pam Johnson and her team family,
contact her at 589-7605 or visit the

Mandy Patchen, owner of Fancy Hill Farm, wants to
“give your child the gift of horseplay.”
“I have been getting calls from mothers as far away as
Ruckersville, Madison and Waynesboro,” said Patchen.
“There are not a lot of riding camps for pony and horse
crazy kids.”
Fancy Hill Farm is located on Fancy Hill in Palmyra,
overlooking the Blue Ridge Mountains, the Rivanna River
and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello. Sitting on the property is a historic Federal period colonial, built by the
founders of Palmyra, including Judge William Shepherd
and others.
The basis for the camp is to give those who are interested in riding a chance to explore it further and for those
already riding to learn more. According to Patchen, the
age of campers range from 8-14 and they are grouped by
age and level of riding ability.
Patchen wants kids to have fun learning to ride. The
kids are divided into their respective groups and eventually teamed up with a buddy. In the mornings they have
a riding lesson and learn horsemanship and in the afternoon enjoy an art-related project and games. “Everything
is horse related,” says Patchen. Parents provide lunch,
snack and a drink and the camp provides plenty of water.
Once a week, a professional will come out and talk with
the kids about horses including a farrier or a veterinarian or an expert in equine nutrition or proper tack for riding.
On Fridays, the kids will have a horse show for parents
to show off everything they have learned through the
week.
“Everyone who works with me is qualified and has
experience working with kids and horses and has an educational background,” said Patchen.
Growing up outside of Baltimore in Butler, Maryland,
Patchen came from a horse-oriented family. She began
riding lessons at the age of five and has been hooked ever
since. She received her first pony at age eight and after
lessons and a few years at The Greenspring Pony Club,
she discovered her passion was in the show ring where
she rode hunters and jumpers.
Patchen, who has a degree in education, has had years
of experience in a variety of equestrian classes as well as
instruction and training. She brings her discipline and
knowledge of riding and showing to those eager to learn
more and gain a solid foundation.
She has had many successful years showing on U.S.

“The strength of our county is our businesses,” Janet Smith, the
new Fluvanna Chamber of Commerce administrative assistant, said
in a recent interview. Most of Fluvanna’s business owners would
agree.
Many of the business people interviewed for this article said the
recession hit them hard – though they now see the end in sight. But
the Fluvanna business community agrees that customers need to
consider buying in Fluvanna first before venturing into Charlottesville
or Richmond to spend money.
Walter Salanova, the owner of Villa Nova’s Restaurant and Pizzaria,
voiced his concerns.
"The economy has definitely taken a turn for the worse and this is
a delicate period for most businesses in Fluvanna County. Because so
many of our residents work in Charlottesville and Richmond, people
tend to shop and eat out where they work. Our local Fluvanna economy needs local support. By spending here, our community is helping us to increase employment opportunities and help our local government, schools and churches".
Vicki Karabinus, the Fluvanna County economic development
coordinator, agreed. “One of the biggest pitfalls, of course, is that so
many Fluvanna citizens travel outside the county every day for their
jobs. It’s very easy to do some quick shopping or run errands during
lunch or on the way to or from work. As we find ways to attract businesses to Fluvanna County and have more jobs for our citizens’ right
here, that trend should begin to change,’’ she said. “But, again, many
times people shop elsewhere simply because they are unaware of
what businesses we have here. Our businesses have to be relentless
when it comes to marketing themselves. It takes effort to constantly
remind potential customers that our businesses are owned by friends
and neighbors, and that shopping close to home benefits everyone.”
Karabinus also offered some sobering statistics. Out of a workforce
population of about 14,000 people, as many as 60 percent travel outside the county to work, mostly in Charlottesville and Richmond. “By
definition we’re a bedroom community. Most probably shop where
they work,’’ she said. “They shop in Fluvanna at nights or on weekends. So we’re losing a lot of revenue.’’
Business owners agree that more needs to be done to get residents
to shop local, but how to entice them has many scratching their
heads.
Jeff Craig, co-owner of Do It Best Hardware said, “It is in the best
interest of the customer to patronize Fluvanna businesses.
Consideration should given to community businesses and be the first
choice. All the businesses work together and we patronize each
other.” He added that his prices are competitive and that he can
match any price out there.
In big box stores, customers may feel overwhelmed but not at Do It
Best, where friendly staff are welcoming and helpful. Customer service is the one commodity that makes shopping in Fluvanna a pleasant experience and one that cannot be duplicated anywhere else.
Mike Hartling, owner of the Dogwood Restaurant and the Eagle’s
Nest, has always made the customer a number one priority as does
Terry Brown of Mailbox Express. To them the customers, particularly
the regulars, are like family and part of the community they call
home. The same welcoming local flavor is spread throughout most of
the businesses in the county. When customers enter Brown’s business, he’ll greet them with a smile and ask how the kids are and chat
for a minute.
Marisa Vacca, owner of Marisella’s Restaurant, has had her ups and
downs and survived but says she is remaining positive.
Dianna Campagna of Blue Ridge Builders Supply & Home Center
stated, “We had new customers say they didn’t know we were here.”
Bob and Janet Ullenbruch of the Palmyra Country Store, echoed the
same sentiment.
“We have customers who come here, some live at the Lake, and say
‘I didn’t know you were here,” said Janet Ullenbruch. Also, customeroriented, she said the community aspect was the key to her success

There are many kinds of gardens
depending on your likes and dislikes
and what you want in a garden.
There are too many to mention. The
one I am going to talk about is the
bulb gardening. It is fun and easy to
do with a few children helping
around the neighborhood. You can
even invite your friends and family
and make it a party.
First you check all the bulbs to
make sure there not mushy. After
they are firm you dig holes depending on the kind of plant bulb it is.
Some bulbs need deeper hole and
more room.
Plant the bulbs around the border
of your garden, around trees, in a
row, or put them anywhere in the
yard for a little bit of color. They
adapt to a wide range of growing
conditions. They grow at different
seasons of the year.
Some bulbs are planted in the fall
and come up in the spring. Then
there are others that you plant in the
spring and come up in the summer.
There is practically no care needed
to be given to flowers bulbs.
But make sure you always plant
the root part in the ground with the
pointed part -- the bud part -- up.
That pointed bud part is never covered with soil or fertilizer. For example large tulip bulbs need a hole 6 to
8 inches deep. Spacing is 1 to 3
inches from other bulbs because the
flowers need space to spread out.
Watering the flowers is important
but if you don't have a lot of time it
is all right. The plants will survive.
The flowers will just be a little smaller. Mulching around the bulbs is
important, however because it holds
the moisture in the soil and mini-
mizes the rapid temperature
changes. Mulch helps prevent the
shoots from coming up too early and
helps summer flowering bulbs like
lilies.
You can use are cow or horse
manure, straw, hay, peat moss, pine
needles, and composed bark as
mulch. Mixing the soil with organic
matter is alright. You don't need fertilizer with bulbs.
The last thing we will talk about is
dividing the bulbs, which is very
easy to do. Examine the main bulb
and look for small bulbs. You very
carefully remove the little bulbs and
store them. When it is time, you can
plant them in the ground and then
you have more of the same flowers
blooming the next year. It can save
you money.
Bulbs pretty much tell you what
they want all year round if you look
closely.
Some people do forget to dig the
bulbs out every year from the
ground. So after many years in the
ground they do multiply.
The best thing to do is to dig each
kind of bulb up after they’re done
blooming. Put them in a dry paper
bag, a shoebox in a garage, a potting
shed or someplace where it is dark
and dry for the winter.
Make sure you keep animals away
from the bulbs like squirrels and
mice that are looking for food in the
winter time. If the bulbs shrivel
while being stored, sprinkle a little
water on them. Don’t get the bulbs
too wet though or it will make it a
mushy bulb.
Bulbs are low maintenance and
fun. So the next time you want to
plant flowers think of the bulb.

The 15th of April was not only tax
day but also the day when Preston
Browning, Jr. came to lecture at the
Fluvanna Friends of the library and
discuss his recently published book,
Affection and Estrangement: A
Southern Family Memoir. Browning
was born in Culpeper, Virginia and
grew up there during the 1930s and
1940s. His book echoes the footfalls
of that era.
Browning received a B.A. in history
from Washington and Lee University,
an M.A. in English from the
University of North Carolina and a
Phd in religion and literature from
the University of Chicago. He taught
English at the University of Illinois at
Chicago for more than 30 years. He
and his wife, Ann, currently manage
Wellspring House a retreat center for
writers and artists in Ashfield,
Massachusetts.
His book had its genesis in sketches he began writing of his relatives
and ancestors. He has deep roots
here in Virginia and he began writing
about some of his eccentric relatives
such as his cousin Virgie who was
jilted at the altar and became a reclusive spinster. He also wrote about his
maternal
grandmother
Mary
Cornelia Cabell Stevenson. She lived
in Nelson County at Norwood. She
was related to the Cabell family for
whom Cabell Hall at U.Va. is named.
Her family was quite prominent and
as a child she led the life of a
Southern belle. Her family founded
the prestigious Norwood School.
However her married life was far
from tranquil. Her husband took her
to Rappahannock County which was
quite rural. Her siblings lived in
Washington, D.C. and socialized with
congressmen. She must have felt
twinges of envy.
Another noted ancestor of which
he wrote was one of Fluvanna’s
founding fathers John Hartwell
Cocke. Mr. Cocke attended William
and Mary where he fell under the
spell of the enlightenment and was
greatly influenced by one of his professors Bishop Madison. Throughout
his life he was a foe of slavery, alcohol and tobacco. This did not endear
him to his fellow Virginians. He was
beside the canal and urged the canal
boat men to drink spring water
rather than demon rum.
(It should be noted that the
Fluvanna County Historical Society
has lots of information on John
Hartwell Cocke and anyone wishing
more information on this leading citizen of our county should contact
them).
The Friends of the Library look
forward to having more guest speak ers in the future. Our next meeting
will be on 5 May at 10 a.m. at the
library and our speaker will be
Jennifer Zajac. See you at the library.

one of the founders of the American

Local Artist Conjures Up Fantasy Beings
BY PAGE H. GIFFORD
CORRESPONDENT
She appears everywhere in the county – she was
recently seen at the Fluvanna Middle School for
Celebrating Children Fair -- and is a magnet for
kids at local events.
She doesn’t use canvas for her works of art but
transforms children into fantasy beings instead
using her skill and imagination as a face painter.
Nancy Miner will say that that there is always
more to learn about her craft and talked about her
recent trip to New Orleans for the fourth annual
Living Arts Fete, an annual four-day advanced face
and body painting convention.
“It was absolutely amazing. For those of you
who are Harry Potter fans, like me, it was like leaving the Muggle world and going off to Hogwarts for
four days. It was a completely different take on
reality and I must say it was very hard to come
back to earth again,” said Miner.
There are hundreds of face and body painting
classes and conventions all over the world, but she
chose the Louisiana fete for several reasons. All the
instructors were working face and body painters,
even the ones who travel all over the world and
have won international competitions. It's also a
small gathering, limited to about fifty painters.
“You get hands on, one-on-one instruction from
the best face and body painters in the world.
Literally. These are people who have won the
World Body Painting Championships in Austria –
the rock stars of face and body painting. Since I
had never done any body painting and wanted to
try my hand at it, these seemed like the best folks
to teach me.”
Miner’s last, but definitely not least reason was
that the conference was held in New Orleans, one
of her favorite places to visit. She spent a great deal
of time painting and very little sleeping.
“This was my first try at body painting; this is
cutting edge stuff, used in high-end commercials,
print advertising, fashion shows, and so forth.
While I don’t see body painting ever becoming a
huge part of my business, I do occasionally get
requests for it, and I wanted to see what it's like.”
Miner says the way it usually works body painting competitions is that there are teams of three or
four artists, with a lead artist who comes up with
the design and then assistants who help create it.
Her team at LA Fete did two full body paintings
and entered the second one into a body painting
competition at one of the night clubs in the French
Quarter.
Miner liked the diversity of activities. The first
night, her team ate dinner at the home of one of
the organizers in the Quarter, painted each other,
and then went to the St. Patrick's Day Parade.
The second day they had face painting classes
during the day, then painted each other like zombies and went on a Zombie Crawl through the
Quarter.
“That was a hoot – there were about 20-25 of us
and tourists kept stopping us and asking to have
their picture taken with us. We also scared several
small children, which is always fun.”
By the third day they had more classes and in
the evening her class broke up into teams and did
body painting on professional models.
2 0 | F LU VA N N A R E V I E W | A p r i l 2 2 , 2 0 1 0
“It may take six or eight
hours to do a full body
painting, depending on the
level of detail.”
The fourth day, after
classes in the morning, her
team spent the afternoon
and evening painting their
entries for the body painting show and competition.
A panel of judges, plus the
audience, was also allowed
to vote. Miner adds that the
competition is going to be
featured in the next issue of
Illusion, an international
face and body painting
magazine.
“Every year, the painters
from LA Fete hold a
fundraiser. Last year it benefited the New Orleans
Children's Hospital. This
year, the money went for earthquake relief in Chile
and Haiti.”
“Face painters have to be the most open and
most sharing group of people I know. Because LA
Fete is small, you get more instruction than what
goes on in the classes. Everybody helps everybody.
Even though I was new, I could walk up to anybody
there and ask for help with anything I was stuck
on.”
“Some of the things I learned were practical tips,
like how to paint a fast snake design using the
mesh bag that onions come in, and some were
familiar designs painted in a new or different style,
like a rose and a spider with a tribal motif. And, in
return, I was able to help other painters with
designs or products where they were having problems.”
Miner says she is already making plans to go to
LA Fete again next year.

‘Face painting is not something you can teach
yourself or that you ever stop studying. To be a
professional, you have to take classes, watch
videos, try new products, keep current on the latest trends, and practice. I have been painting since
1996 and I still practice an average of an hour a
day.”
Miner belongs to a local face painters' guild that
meets monthly.
“We watch face painting videos, teach each
other new designs, and help each other solve problems. I have already shared some of what I learned
in New Orleans with the guild members.”
Miner can be found painting at the Dogwood
Festival, now through April 25, in McIntire Park.

face painting or hiring Miner for an event can contact her at nbminer@wildblue.net. Also visit her

The Fluvanna Choraleers
The Fluvanna Choraleers, a choral ensemble from Lake Monticello, performed for the Newcomers Club at the
Lake Monticello clubhouse on Sunday, April 11. Their presentation included choral arrangements as well as
duets and solos. The ensemble is currently preparing for their third annual Memorial Day Celebration on May
31 at 1:30 a.m. at the clubhouse. In addition, Alex Rucker, a retired Navy commander, will speak about his
experiences as a pilot during the Vietnam conflict and on the importance of Memorial Day.

colors, like purple, instead.
With that, she ended the lesson and took the artists on
their own journey to experiment with the Muncell Color

ALL THE TIME
Local watercolor artist Mary Lee Hogg conducted a
workshop on the Muncell System of color for members of
the Fluvanna Art Association. Hogg, a well known local
artist and watercolorist, has done many demonstrations
and has exhibited with the group.
She opened with 11 commandments for watercolorists.
Many of these never-do-techniques are always reminders
handed down through generation of experienced and
expert artists and always worth sharing.
Hogg also shared some secrets and tips she uses when
painting.
“I use Ox Gall when painting watercolor portraits,” she
said, “a couple of drops of Ox Gall keeps the paint flowing more easily.”
One of the questions that always comes up for artists is
how not to make muddy colors or mud as we artists call
it.
“Some watercolors are transparent and then there are
those that are opaque and the opaque ones, like cadmium
red, should only be mixed with one transparent to avoid
making mud.”
She then delved into the basics of the Muncell Color
System, what she calls the intuitive color wheel.
“I’m not going to go through the whole theory behind
the system, it’s too scientific,” she said. “This color wheel
only uses five colors compared to the traditional color
wheel.”
She demonstrated-- with the sketch of a stained glass
pineapple -- how to use the system for its best effect. She
then discussed in the system known as discord colors.
These are colors that aren’t negative but actually add
interest and sparkle to paintings. It is not unlike the conventional color wheels’ complementary colors. Some col-

The Top Ten Reasons NOT to use Jane Feild's White Glove:
10. You would rather pay someone "under the table"; you're not going to
be nominated for a cabinet position anyway.
9. Your grandmother said on her deathbed that she wished she had
spent more time doing housework.
8. You would rather pay a service that sends new people all the time; it's
a great way to meet people!
7. You feel sorry for those dust bunnies under your bed -- they need
somewhere to live!
6. You would rather save the money and paint the baseboards when the
buildup becomes unbearable.
5. Cleaning gives you an excuse for not doing something more creative.
4. You just got a new membership to Sam's Club and want to spend your
money on all those cleaning supplies.
3. You believe in corporate America; you would rather pay more for a
larger company where the owner stays in the office.
2. You would rather pay a service that doesn't clean under the stovetop
-- who looks under there anyway?
1. You don't want your mother-in-law to visit anyway!

Flucos Escape to “Bollywood”
BY JESSICA TYLER AND

The senior class at Fluvanna

throwing their prom. “I doubted they had enough money to

to multiple bake sales at Video

Fluvanna Delivers Good News
The Child Evangelism
Movement Fellowship (CEF)
was founded in 1937 by
Jesse Overholtzer. The purpose of the CEF is to “evangelize boys and girls with
the Gospel of the Lord Jesus
Christ, disciple them in the
world of God and establish
them in a Bible believing
church for Christian living.”
One of the divisions of the
CEF that helps accomplish
this is the Good News Club.
This volunteer-run club
takes place in communities
all over the country, with

The wrists are a tremendous power
source in the golf swing. Learning to
use your wrists correctly can help add
yards to your game. When you swing
the club back away from the ball your
wrists should hinge the club up. This
stores energy in the wrists. When you
swing the club down you should begin
to unhinge your wrists just prior to
impact with the ball, and begin hinging
them back up on the follow through.
This hinge, un-hinge, and re-hinge are
what cause the “whistling” sound
through the hitting area. The faster
you can make your wrist action the
faster the club will be traveling. Work
with a wrist hinge and you will see
your distance increase.

Golf Tip #3
Photo by Fluvanna Sports Photography.
|
Our Golf Pro at Lake Monticello,
Mark Marshall, is creating a golf
course for family use at Lake
Monticello. This course will be
designed so that junior golfers ages 5
through 17 can enjoy a golf course
that will be enjoyable to play. The recommended distances are available
and will be used to establish the tee
marker distances for the adult members of the family and the most desirable distances for the juniors.
This is being done to increase participation in the use of the golf course
for families with young children. It is
a fact that golf brings families together and increases better understanding
between parents and their children. It
is a game that can be enjoyed for a
lifetime and teaches youngsters thinking processes, integrity, and responsibility. This leads to a greater understanding of leadership qualities.
This program also benefits new
adult beginners by making it fun to
play from distances that helps expedite the learning process. So you see,
there's fun for all to enjoy and all families with young children are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity.
This program will be expedited and
is a joint project of Lake Monticello

PUBLIC
HEARING
The Fluvanna County Planning Commission will
conduct a public hearing pursuant to Virginia Code
Sections 15.2-2204 on Wednesday, April 28th, 2010 at 7:00 p.m.,
in the Circuit Court Room at the Fluvanna County Courts
Building in Palmyra, Virginia to consider the following items:
ZTA 10:01 – Amendment to Fluvanna County Zoning Ordinance
regarding Sign Regulations: An ordinance to amend and reenact
Section 22, Article 15, portions of Section 22-22-1, and Section 2225-5 of the Fluvanna County Code with respect to the regulation of
signs and their respective definitions. The proposed amendments
are intended to address the issues that exist with the current ordinance that make it difficult to interpret and enforce the regulations
of the ordinance. Issues that exist with the current ordinance
include inconsistencies where sections of the ordinance contradict
one another, inadequate regulations pertaining to sign height/area
and number of signs permitted per parcel, and lack of regulations
on common sign types. Amending the sign ordinance, and ensuring that these issues are addressed, will make the interpretation
and enforcement of the sign ordinance easier for staff, the
Planning Commission, and the Board of Supervisors.
Copies of the complete text of the above ordinances and associated plans are available for public review at the Office of the
Fluvanna County Administrator during normal business hours.
The public is invited to attend these hearings at which persons
affected may appear and present their views. Questions or comments may be directed to Planning & Community Development
Department, at (434) 591-1910.
