As a business person, with a PhD and not an educator by trade, I can relate CTE and STEM to the business environment. The most common questions are: What students should be taking STEM and when? In my opinion every student should be involved in STEM and not just the gifted or advanced students. STEM is inclusive and does not depend on gender or race. STEM should be included in every middle school curricula. Middle school students are creative, intuitive, daring, and innovative learners. This understanding goes beyond knowledge of the basic concepts. It is a way of thinking, problem solving, and integrating information so that you and your students approach problems and ideas both critically and creatively. These skills and approaches to problem solving are essential for students today, who must compete in an increasingly digital society and who are entering an extremely competitive job market. The habits of mind that are practiced while exploring STEM content, and the 21st century skills that are practiced while engaging in inquiry, team-based and project-based learning, are critical for equipping students with the tools necessary to be successful. – Robert Mayfield, Scottsville Vote yes for R&R/dues increase Some say the R&R/dues increase is too much. The R&R targets our amenities that are most in need of attention. Some improvements and maintenance (tennis courts, roads, etc.) are scheduled and can be accomplished with our low annual dues, but major improvements cannot. Our 40-year old buildings are in need of major repair, renovation or replacement, and changes to comply with the law. Some of our playground equipment has been removed for safety issues. The Ashlawn basketball courts are unsafe and need complete resurfacing. So this work needs to be done. These changes will improve the quality of life for all residents. For all, the community will be revitalized. Lake Monticello will attract new buyers with amenities that are attractive, useful and vibrant. The Board of Directors has proposed a clever plan to finance these improvements. We use part of the money we made on the sale of the water facility. We borrow more of that money and pay interest to ourselves. We increase the annual dues by $95. We are left with annual dues that are still much lower than comparable communities, a pot of money (that other communities don’t have) that would cover the deductible of our dam insurance, and safe, updated and usable facilities! The R&R/dues increase proposal is a compromise; a foundation on which to build. The building improvements are a necessary first step. We get safe and attractive facilities, more and varied meeting space, better dining facilities, and improved working conditions for our administrative staff. We take care of our playgrounds and basketball courts. So it seems the R&R/dues increase proposal is just right! Great facilities, low price, nest egg, foundation for the future. Thanks to the Board for all your hard work. To the community, please vote yes. –Lorraine Bergstresser, Lake Monticello $1.63 a week As Lake Monticello residents consider how to vote on the R&R project, it’s important that they see clearly what they are voting for. Basically, they are simply asked to decide whether the extra $1.63 per week in dues is worth what residents will get for it. So, here is what the $1.63 will pay for: The main clubhouse will be completely renovated, with the décor updated and additional space provided and become fully compliant with federal ADA law. The upgraded Faulconer Room will allow larger meetings and club events, and be rentable for events such as weddings and graduations. An upgraded and expanded Ashlawn Grille will be an overall nicer place to dine and take friends. That, in turn, will likely make it more successful, meaning more income for LMOA. New picnic pavilions and other facilities will be provided. Picnic tables and grills will be available in the area, and there will be a new 20 foot by 30 foot pavilion for use by families and groups. There will be resurfaced tennis courts and basketball courts at the main clubhouse and at Lafayette, and improved playgrounds that are safer for children and accessible to the handicapped around LMOA. The new Bunker Recreation Center will have four meeting rooms instead of one, which can be combined into one large room for larger events – with better acoustics and lighting for LMOA and club meetings and private events. It also will include a new pub/sports bar/cafe with food, a liquor license and big-screen TVs as a community gathering place in the evenings, as well as for golfers during the day. There also will be 20-30 additional parking spaces at the Bunker Rec Center. Everyone hopes you’ll cast your vote on the R&R process, making your best judgement, based on the real facts, of whether the improvements are worth $1.63 per week to you. – Mike Feazel, Lake Monticello Who uses meeting space? The recent Fluvanna Review Vote Yes ads are paid for by the Lake Monticello residents “Vote Yes” group. It meets regularly, passes-the-hat for fund-raising, covering the cost of signs, buttons, advertising, etc. These ads are separate from the full page Lake Extra, run by the LMOA to communicate more fully with residents. There are also comments about need for more meeting space. One gentleman wondered “who goes to so many meetings and nothing ever gets done at meetings anyway.” That caused me to try to list groups that use space at the main clubhouse. They include in no particular order – Brownies, Girl Scouts, Scout Troop 138, painters at the lake, Thursday, poker, mah jongg, and pinochle players, ball room, step, tap, clog and line dancing, at least 25 book groups, the broadcast group, the ECC, finance and the Lake health committee. That’s off the top of my head. Also, compliance, solicitation and review, newcomers and old friends, LM Free Exchange, board game club, aerobics, duplicate bridge, lefty ladies, Aqua VA ad hoc committee, basket weaving, quilt makers, Rivanna Lions Club, Rotary, Building Roads and Grounds, fisheries management, Me-May 1, Little Ones at the Lake, Hand and Foot, Browning duplicate bridge Friends of the Lake, Lakers Investment Group, wildlife committee, audit, watershed committee, TGIFF mixer, computer users group, and the playground committee. To those who wonder who is using the clubhouse and meeting room, they are our friends, neighbors and a fabulous group of involved citizens. Vote yes to the R&R proposal. – Deborah Nixon, Lake Monticello Outstanding public servant I read with disappointment that the current clerk of the circuit court, B.E. Peterson, was not going to seek re-election this fall. I remember when he was first elected 26 years ago. I am happy to have known him and been his friend through all of these years. He would stop everything he was working on to help anyone in need of his expertise or for other reasons. He excelled in his work as clerk of the court. Many times we would sit in his office on election night, eating pizza, and waiting for the election results to come in from the Registrar’s Office. In addition to his friendship, we also had a business relationship while I worked as Fluvanna editor for The Central Virginian in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s. No information had to be pried from his office. Everything was transparent, and his professionalism representing the clerk helped me tremendously while doing my job. Even as a friend he was fair to all the other competition when information was needed about the election or a case. I will miss his sense of humor. As he goes through another stage in his life, I am confident that he will remain the same, positive, compassionate, helpful person he has always been. – Peggy Udell Flick, Lake Monticello Wondering about advice You got to wonder about what people are thinking, especially when they are advising people to vote no on the Lake’s Repair and Replacement project. One writer used Ronald and Nancy Reagan and even Pogo for quotes that haven’t anything to do with projects such as this. For Pogo’s “enemy,” you don’t know whether it is for those voting yes or no. Ronald was talking about trusting the Russians and Nancy was saying no to using drugs. Can you imagine Ronald Reagan living at Lake Monticello, where cheapness and hypocrisy are the just say no words? And how about Valerie Palamountain, who while president of the Board, “acknowledged that improvements were needed to be made to LMOA facilities.” Now, we cannot continue our band aid approach as seeing Wayne Schmidt climbing an extension ladder to fix a partially condemned Bunker Recreation Center. Well, we get what we pay for and our insurance at the Lake no longer covers volunteers climbing ladders to keep our buildings upright. And what is it with those who think that after all these years of our past Boards not finding a better funding solution that when they do find a proposal and have a vision to present it to our members, they want the Board to go back to the drawing board? Sounds like the preverbal ostrich sticking its head in the sand. By the way, the R&R project is the involvement of many members and residents at the Lake. It is a proposal with benefits that far exceed it costs. When they dammed up Boston Creek some 45 plus years ago, they knew we had to take care of our Lake To advertise email: sales@fluvannareview.com Monticello amenities, but we didn’t! Come on folks, quit tilting at windmills and let’s bring Lake Monticello into the 21st century. Vote yes. Not voting is a no vote! – Kit Walz, Palmyra Go bare bones I agree that the clubhouse should be updated. It is something that the Lake needs. However I am told that the price tag for demolition, design and construction of the Bunker facility is $4,381,917. This I believe is too much. The number came from an email from the Lake Monticello Owners’ Association treasurer. This is a building which would be wise to replace but not at this cost. A more bare bones approach would be suitable. I do not believe we need a top of the line golf facility at this time. I no longer golf but I enjoyed it in my younger days. A beer or two after a round of golf was all I needed. – Daniel J McCoy, Lake Monticello Reality bites Re; Fluvanna Review, June 4. Enough is enough! “What a common board promises or assures is not binding.” The board is legally bound to follow the dictates of a membership vote. “There are better solutions to funding....” Donations (deep pockets), capital fund raising (yard sales?) one-time assessment (it was turned down in the member survey) borrowing money from the bank (at higher interest?) sell or lease campground (to whom?) are all mentioned as possible solutions to raise $2-3 million (yes, million!) dollars. Reality bites! – Barbara Senig, Lake Monticello Delay costly Some letters in the June 4 issue of the Fluvanna Review suggested Lake Monticello Owners’ Association members vote no on the proposal to replace and renovate LMOA amenities. Two letters also argue to delay the program. One letter suggested delay in the belief that better funding options are available. Options suggested were (1) donations (2) a capital fund raising program (3) sell or lease the campground (4) a one-time assessment and (5) borrow from the bank. None of these are reasons to delay. The projects will take several years to complete. There is nothing in the proposal which would preclude implementing one or all of these options if further study proves them advantageous. The proposal requests approval to use reserve funds – it does not direct the Board to use them. A yes vote on the proposal will allow both progress on the program and consideration of the suggested funding options Another letter suggested delay for “answers needed first.” It posed questions about funding maintenance and operation of the improved amenities. The questions may have been written before the proposal was released, because the proposal itself answers these questions. It points out that part of the dues increase will be applied to these costs. There is no need to delay the major decision while those topics receive further discussion. If we delay, the cost of whatever we do is going up about 3 percent every year. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, inflation has increased the Consumer Price Index more than 40 percent since the reserve fund was established in 1999. The purchasing power of the fund is decreasing proportionally. Delay of the decision is costly. A yes vote supports all the advantages of the program in a cost effective manner. – Leroy McCampbell, Palmyra Vote YES 26¢ See Letters, page 6 Grand Opening of Zion Crossroads Clinic More than 25 years of service. 5 out-patient clinics The mission of SPECTRUM Physical Therapy is to serve the rehabilitation needs of patients, their physicians, and the community with quality, comprehensive and timely services in a caring environment through the personalized attention of a committed staff. 70 Jefferson Crt, Ste 102 Zion Crossroads, VA 22942 Phone: 540-832-3061 • Fax: 540-832-3062 To advertise call: 434.207.0222 June 11, 2015 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | 5 E W THOMAS , INC.

The results of the plan had the input of the membership (through surveys and town halls) and the guidance of volunteers who spent countless hours planning and researching these proposed projects. Have the naysayers tuned out all that has been discussed? Apparently since various financing options (donations, capital fund raising, campground sale, assessment, bank loan) were dissected and found not to be in the best interest of the Lake Monticello Owners’ Association members. When moving to the Lake, everyone was aware of the amenities and as these age, they must be improved to maintain the viability and health of our community, just as one would make improvements on one’s home. The time for this is now since previous Boards did not have the courage to tackle the elephant in the room and who knows what the future will bring. Vote yes! – Lisa Conboy, Palmyra Where were you? Where were all these vote no people and 99 Group during the past 10 months when the R & R project was being formulated? Did they attend any of the meetings held by the different groups which helped form this final proposal? Groups called Communications, Financial, Survey and Renovation and Replacement met regularly and the times, days and meeting rooms were listed on the Lake Monticello Owners’ Association calendar and Friday Flyer weekly. All were welcome to come and sit in on any of these meetings. I attended as many meetings as I could and was very impressed with the amount of dedication shown by all these committee members. They worked long hours and attended many meetings during the months of planning and did so much research developing the best plan to go forward. Now that all the research and surveys have been finished and a final plan and design has been finalized and ready to be presented to the members this no group and 99 group have stepped forward with the idea to stop this project and listen to them. They think they have a better plan. So many of their suggestions have already been discussed in committee and decided they would not be feasible. Some in this group say there is no emergency. These were the same people who in May of 2014 wanted to close down the golf building and Eagles Nest because the building was too dangerous and a liability. The renovation and replacement of our buildings are long overdue. Please remember that a yes vote will also help the 5-year plan for our playgrounds. Vote yes on your ballot. – Lucille Braithwaite, Palmyra Lake dues low Current Lake Monticello Owners’ Association dues are insufficient to cover expenses and are significantly lower than other home owners’ association communities. A 2014 yearly HOA dues comparisons (most without similar amenities) based on our research: $843 Lake Monticello, ($693 + $150 improved property fee); $1,314 Lake of the Woods, Locust Grove; $1,920 Spring Creek, Gordonsville; $1,200, Oak Village across from main gate; $1,200 Broken Island, Rt. 600 between Riverside and Slice gates; and $900 Sycamore Square, behind CVS. Our current facilities are in deplorable condition and do not meet current regulations. Our property values are currently limited due to the condition of our facilities. We believe community members desire and deserve more and better facilities including increased meeting rooms, increased space flexibility and fine and casual dining. The proposal to renovate Ashlawn clubhouse to meet current standards, build the Bunker Recreation Center with improved and increased facilities, increased space utilization, increased staff safety, and add meeting room flexibility will address our needs. Our conclusion is to vote yes to maintain and increase the value of the LMOA community and your property. – Carol and Tom Brown, Lake Monticello Kudos to Lake Board On May 31, Lake Monticello Owners’ Association Board of Directors held its final town hall on the Renovation & Replacement (R&R) proposal to answer questions and refute misinformation on this important Lake Monticello initiative. The town hall was very spirited and informative with attendees on both sides of the debate asking relevant, detailed questions of the board members. I write mainly to commend and congratulate the seven board members who, with vital input from lake residents, drafted this comprehensive R&R that is many years overdue. In the nine and one-half years that we have owned a home at the lake, this is without a doubt the best, most experienced, knowledgeable, and skilled group of lake directors that we have had the pleasure to work with and get to know. I do take exception to a few comments directed at members stating that there is a cabal of self interested golfers and midlevel government bureaucrats whose only concern is preserving the golf facility and nothing else. Moreover, there are a number of former board members who had their opportunity to come up with a sensible plan but now want to delay or incrementally implement a perceived better plan. Where was their proposal to fix these neglected buildings when they led the board? They recently published a flier “A Better Plan...” that was refuted at the town hall. Let’s leave Lake Monticello a better place than we found it not only for ourselves, our kids, our neighbors, but also for our friends and visitors for years to come. When is the last time we saw a 7 to 0 consensus on any initiative at Lake Monticello? The board did their part, and now we the residents need to do our part. I encourage you to vote yes. – Walt Kozak, Palmyra Thumbs up to directors Our present Board of Directors have worked extremely hard on the proposed R & R project and has presented an option that is long overdue and represents a needed boost that our wonderful community needs to prosper in the future. The end result regarding the proposed plan represents an incredible amount of input from the entire community in the form of surveys, town hall meetings, input from local realtors, and of course endless hours of hard work on the part of our Board. The sad condition of our amenities did not happen overnight and obviously was not addressed adequately by former Boards. I commend our present Board for taking on this long overdue problem in an attempt to make Lake Monticello an even better place to live. We have an opportunity to improve our quality of life and present an upgraded community that we are all proud to call home. It disappoints me that former members of the Board in leadership positions have chosen not to support this project.

Enjoy Every M Home & Marine BY CHRISTINA DIMEO GUSEMAN, CORRESPONDENT Should Fluvanna County invest in a commercial kitchen for the Fluvanna Community Center in Fork Union? Would it be a smart money-making investment or simply another expenditure for a debt-ridden county? The Board of Supervisors debated this question at its meeting Wednesday afternoon (June 3). Back in the spring, installing a commercial kitchen for Fluvanna’s Virginia Cooperative Extension (VCE) came close to making the cut for the fiscal year 2016 budget but ultimately fell by the wayside in a difficult budget year. But a time-sensitive opportunity to buy some used kitchen equipment at close to half price led extension agent John Thompson to resurrect the question to supervisors Wednesday afternoon. “It’s up to you whether or not to seize this opportunity,” he told them. Having a commercial kitchen would bring benefits to the county, said Thompson. It would function as a teaching kitchen for VCE but also as rentable space for the county’s various food-related businesses that must by law use a commercial kitchen to prepare their products. Naming some of those businesses, Thompson said that each has “overcome the hurdle of a commercial kitchen because they had to,” some by renting commercial kitchens in places as far away as Farmville and some by biting the bullet and investing in a commercial kitchen of their own. “If we could provide that middle ground, so that they could rent for a time period, develop their pocketbooks so that they could afford a commercial kitchen if they wanted to on their own facility, then that would be a honey spot for the local county government to be able to generate revenue [and] provide something for the local agribusiness industry.” Thompson looked around the state at similar facilities and said the average hourly rental rate for a commercial kitchen like the one he was envisioning is $33. Renting the kitchen to a business or an event for only four hours a week – a conservative estimate – would yield close to $7,000 per year, which could help mitigate the investment required to install the kitchen. The drawbacks of a commercial kitchen include the cost, said Thompson, who estimated the price tag at about $32,000 plus another $5,000 for the used equipment currently on sale. Upkeep on equipment would also be a factor. Thompson said he may be able to secure donations or grants to cover part of the cost, but that at least one potential donor was waiting to see whether supervisors rallied behind the idea with funding. “I can’t promise you results,” said Thompson, who didn’t make any claims about whether the kitchen would end up paying for itself through rental fees. “What I can promise you is that the facility would be used by us for educational programming, and what I can guarantee you is there’s a lot of interest in this type of business in this region… There is opportunity here.” There is a kitchen in the Fluvanna Community Center right now, though it is not comparable to a new commercial kitchen. And when it fills up with different groups, Thompson said, “you realize that the space could be much better… A kitchen, in a house or in a business, is the heart of what’s going on. And we’re working on a really little heart in a really big building. We’ve got lots of opportunity and I think we need to seize that.” A few years ago, supervisors gave the economic development authority (EDA) $35,000 to distribute as microloans to small businesses. Since no one has applied for the microloans, County Administrator Steve Nichols said the EDA may end up returning the money to the county. That money could potentially pay for the commercial kitchen. “I have no doubt that this commercial kitchen will be a success,” said Chairperson Mozell Booker. “I support [spending] this amount.” “If you’re trying to provide a pathway for entrepreneurs and promoting agribusiness as one of the things that Fluvanna has to offer, it seems to me that this is very reasonable,” said Supervisor Tony O’Brien, who called the kitchen “a conservative, low-risk investment that would benefit our community.” However, O’Brien said, he was very aware of the agreements made during budget season amongst supervisors, who ultimately voted unanimously on a budget and tax rate for the first time in recent memory. And in that agreement a VCE commercial kitchen didn’t make the cut. For that reason, he said, he was reluctant to push the idea. “I’m bothered by it,” said Supervisor Don Weaver. “I’m bothered by the way it’s gone about and the way it’s being presented. I don’t think anything’s wrong with what Mr. Thompson’s doing – but we did have an understanding. And I feel as if that’s being circumvented, and it disturbs me.” Referencing the $35,000 potentially being returned by the EDA, Weaver said, “What always amazes me is how government can find the extra money… The shape this year’s budget is in, I think every Board member knows that it was stretched to the limits, and we took things off and put it into the future that we probably shouldn’t have. And here the inference is, well, we have $35,000… As far as I’m concerned, a deal is a deal.” “That’s why…I’m very hesitant on making a motion about this,” said O’Brien.

ENTIRE STOCK 1/2 PRICE All Sales Final BY CHRISTINA DIMEO GUSEMAN, CORRESPONDENT John Gooch, 54, told the Fluvanna Review on June 4 that he is officially a candidate for the Palmyra district seat on the Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors. The seat is being vacated by current Palmyra supervisor Bob Ullenbruch, who is not seeking re-election. “I have a very strong sense of community,” Gooch said. “I want to make sure that I don’t just represent the Palmyra district but that I represent the entire county.” Gooch was the Palmyra district supervisor from 2008 to 2011. He was defeated in his re-election campaign by Ullenbruch. For the 12 years prior to his tenure on the Board of Supervisors, Gooch served on the Fluvanna County School Board. “I very much support emergency services, the school system, and county staff,” Gooch told the Review. “We definitely need to get some economic development in the county. Everybody keeps saying we need to do it. We need to put a concerted effort into making that happen.” Gooch is in favor of the James River Water Authority water line project that will withdraw water from the James River in Columbia and pipe it to a station near Rt. 6. He also supports bringing water to Zion Crossroads. “We’re moving back in that direction and hopefully that will move forward,” he said. In fact, bringing water to Zion Crossroads is going to be one of his major goals for his time on the Board if he is elected, he said. He Photo courtesy of John Gooch also wants to “work on economic development.” Born in Charlottesville, Gooch moved to Fluvanna when he was five years old. He works as an estimator for Fielder’s Choice Enterprises. Gooch and his wife Andileen have two grown children. When asked why Palmyra voters should choose him, Gooch said, “I feel like I’ll be very responsible. I can work well with other people. My engineering background would be helpful in moving some of the water lines forward. I owned my own business for 15 years so I’d lend that experience as well.” Patricia Eager has told the Review that she plans to run for Palmyra district supervisor.

The seat is being vacated by current Palmyra supervisor Bob Ullenbruch, who is not seeking re-election. “Our community has been divided and I’d like to see us come together as neighbors,” Eager said. Eager has been on the Fluvanna County Planning Commission for 20 years. She has also served on the Board of Zoning Appeals for two years. “Our community has had differences over whether the new high school should have been built, and that shouldn’t be,” Eager told the Review. “We need to educate our children. I’d like to see our children have an excellent education, but at the same time we need to take care of the whole county.” Eager said the “main concern” of people she met while collecting signatures on her petition to run for office was the county’s increased taxes. “I think we have to strike a delicate balance,” she said. “The comprehensive plan says that one of our main goals is to remain rural. But on the other hand we really do need businesses to increase our tax base and offset the taxes on the homeowners.” If elected, Eager wants to “work together to keep our taxes at a responsible level so that people, young and old, can continue to live in Fluvanna.” Born in Pennsylvania, Eager grew up in Ohio, lived in New York for 15 years, and moved to Fluvanna in 1984. She and her husband Minor have been farmers for 35 years. They have four grown children. “I’ve been a dedicated public servant for 20 years,” Eager said when asked why Palmyra voters should choose her. “I really like living here and I think other people would like to live here. And in order to do that we have to make it a livable community, where people can afford it and have excellent education for their children.” John Gooch is also running for Palmyra district supervisor. The winner of the Nov. 3 election will serve a four-year term. RACKED DRY WALL? MUSTY SMELLS? STICKING DOORS? * LOORS? STICKING WINDOWS? NASTY CRAWLSPACE? WET ENT? MOLD & FUNGUS?

Four candidates – Stephanie Davis, James Gerling, Charles Harrelson, and Jan Shattls – are vying for two spots on the seven-member Board. One slot exists because Harrelson’s three-year term is up. The other is being vacated by Cole Hunter, who was appointed last year to fill the unexpired term of Richard Cummings. The proposed $7.2 million R&R project, also up for vote, would make improvements to LMOA facilities, most notably renovating the Ashlawn Clubhouse, demolishing the Eagle’s Nest pro shop building, and constructing a new Bunker Recreation Center. The project would be paid for by $3.8 million from the community’s emergency reserve account (ERA), a $2 million loan from the ERA repaid over 15 years, and existing funds. It would also require a $95 dues increase, raising member dues from $693 to $788. All homeowners also pay FRIDAY MEAL DEAL 1 lb. Pulled Pork or Smoked Chicken • 4 - Rolls 1/2 lb. slaw + 2 -1 lb.

The Fluvanna Review asked the candidates to answer five questions. Why do you want to serve on the LMOA Board of Directors? What do you have to offer the community? Stephanie Davis: No longer working full time, I have both the time and desire to invest in enhancing our LMOA environment. Throughout my federal career I awarded and administered complex mulJan Shattls timillion dollar contracts. I also served as a mentor to small businesses, assisting them in developing better business practices. I used my business skills while serving as president of a homeowners’ association in Illinois to improve the manner in which they did business and to protect their assets. James Gerling: I want the opportunity to be a part of the management and decision-making process for the service and overall good to the Lake Monticello community. Others have come before me and made decisions to support and guide the community to thrive. Now I feel it is my turn to help carry the load and be a part of the decision-making process. I want to give, to pay back, and to pay forward into the future. Charles Harrelson: I have been on the LMOA Board for the past three years. I believe I have listened to the membership and not just the most vocal. The past year has been the most enjoyable as we have accomplished much, including the R&R proposal. When this proposal passes I would like to be a part of the process to see it come to fruition. Jan Shattls: I want to serve on the Board because we finally have a proactive not reactive Board and I would like to see that continue. Too often whatever one Board has done, the next Board dismantles. I have always taught my children that if you want to see a change, you have to be the change. What is your position on the R&R proposal? Jan Shattls: I am for the project. For me the most important part is voting to use the principal from the ERA to finance the project. The repayment proposal will set up a revenue stream that the Board can use to fund future projects without needing them to be put to a community vote. You can see how difficult this process is, and the larger the community grows, the more difficult it will become. Stephanie Davis: Our common areas have not been properly maintained. An ADA [Americans with Disabilities Act] patch is not acceptable. LMOA must learn from its dam experience where the sub vouched for payment due the prime. LMOA’s architect and the proposed at-risk contractor have a similar business relationship. A project as large as the R&R requires an independent professional to ensure work is completed properly. Homeowners must decide if spending $3.35 million on construction at Bunker is worth getting updates of $1.8 million at Ashlawn. James Gerling: I support the proposal. Studies have determined that the Ashlawn clubhouse is outdated and needs to be upgraded. The upgrades may be expensive but need to be done for ADA compliance. The Eagle’s Nest pro shop building needs expensive renovations and upgrades and may have outlived its useful economic life. The solution is to build a new Bunker Recreation Center from the ground up and provide the necessary clubhouse renovations and upgrades. Charles Harrelson: Being one of the seven LMOA Board members to vote unanimously to present the proposal was great. A lot of work has been done to provide as much bang-for-the-buck as possible. None of us completely got our way and I hope that our membership also supports with a positive vote. So what is my position? Vote yes. What goals do you have for LMOA that could be accomplished within the three years of your term of office? Charles Harrelson: Our general manager has been with us for three years. She has had to direct much of her attention to repairs on both of our dams and changing personnel needs. I would like to see the Board work with her to determine what type of staff and training are needed to carry us into the future. Specifically, I would like for us to add a recreation/activities director to put together more programs for our youth. Jan Shattls: I would like to see a program/recreational director hired to implement and coordinate various programs. Maybe a future summer recreation program? Stephanie Davis: Improve outreach to and interaction with residents. If an R&R yes vote prevails, waive annual 3 percent increase. If the vote is no, move administration staff to a new space adjacent to Ashlawn, revitalize the restaurant, expand meeting space and meet the needs of a facility at Bunker. Improve business practices used by LMOA. Ensure we get what we pay for and on a timely basis. Actively monitor the condition of common assets – keep areas in good repair. James Gerling: I want to insure that a new five year reserve study is done and that proper allocation of funds; and maintenance is adhered to and done to the LMOA’s capital assets and amenities. I want to set up a database to input all of LMOA’s capital assets and amenities so that all maintenance and expenditures can be properly tracked and explained to the community and be transparent. What sort of leader will you be? James Gerling: I will be a collaborative type of leader, working with the other Board members, committees, the general manager, and listening to the community and serving its interests and needs as best as possible. Charles Harrelson: My training is in sales and marketing. I see my role as listening to ideas (some of my own) and helping to implement. Jan Shattls: I hope to be the kind of leader who will spark others’ enthusiasm and participation. If everyone does a little there is no great burden on anyone. The people of our community are our greatest resource and they have been underutilized. Stephanie Davis: I would like to follow in the footsteps of radio personality Paul Harvey (The Rest of the Story), who always looked for both sides of the story before deciding an issue. I hope to increase the common ground shared by our residents. Why should Lake residents vote for you? Stephanie Davis: My good business practices will strengthen LMOA’s financial standing. In Illinois I oversaw dayto-day activities of staff and professional service providers and the condition of our association facilities and grounds. We had a community that people with very diverse backgrounds were proud to call home. I worked closely with city officials. Here in Fluvanna I have completed the county’s leadership development program. My skills and lessons learned will benefit residents of Lake Monticello. James Gerling: I bring a keen business sense, level of maturity, a proven track record, and a Master’s degree in business administration. I served on the Board of Directors for a condo association in Alexandria for over 10 years and have experience in the process of adopting and enforcing policies; in budgetmaking; and in retaining responsible management to carry out day-to-day operations. With my background and experience I am and will be a valuable asset to the Board and the LMOA community. Charles Harrelson: I understand the role of a Board member, having worked with different boards over the past three years. LMOA’s demographics have changed to a community of all ages. We are close to build-out and with our dues structure on a per-lot basis, our income remains somewhat flat with the Board limited to a maximum adjustment of 3 percent per year. I want Lake Monticello be an exceptional place for all to live and to make sure it remains a safe community. Jan Shattls: Lake residents who are forward-thinking and want a vibrant, robust community rather than a stagnant one, should vote for me. I believe in getting the best at the best price. That is ultimately the most cost-effective way. Cheap is, in the long run, very expensive. Not all new ideas are about money, however. I would like to see more thought put into how those can be implemented. LMOA members can vote online at lmoavoice.org or mail paper ballots any time from now till June 22 at 5 p.m. Paper ballots must be postmarked by that deadline. Members may also vote in person at the annual meeting held Saturday, June 27 at the clubhouse.

To advertise email: sales@fluvannareview.com Girls’ softball Flucos fall in semi-finals BY DUNCAN NIXON, CORRESPONDENT After two rain-outs, the Fluco softball team finally was able to host the undefeated Carroll County Golden Cavaliers on Friday, June 5. This semi-final battle was a classic pitchers’ duel. In the first six innings, both teams managed a single baserunner. Fluco pitcher Annaliese Kennedy surrendered a single in the second inning and retired all of the other 18 batters she faced in the first six innings. Kennedy struck out seven in the first six innings and when the Golden Cavaliers did get their bats on the ball they went down on routine ground outs and fly balls. Unfortunately for the Flucos they were facing a pitcher just as overpowering as Kennedy. In the first six innings the Flucos managed only a walk. Their baserunner was cut down trying to steal, so the Flucos batted the minimum in the first six innings. Needless to say, the tension was mounting with every passing inning. In the top of the seventh inning, Carroll County took the game from the Flucos. After an out, two solid singles created the first scoring threat of the game. The next batter squibbed a ball just past Kennedy. The batter beat the throw to first and ball went past the first baseman and two runners scored. Another single made it 3-0. The Flucos came up with their only hit To advertise call: 434.207.0222 Pitcher Annaleise Kennedy on the mound. Photo by Deborah Nixon in the bottom of the seventh when senior centerfielder Tiffani Shaheen bunted for a hit. Shaheen, the Flucos lead-off batter, can fly down the line and as a lefty batter she is very hard to throw out on bunts. Senior left fielder Kiersten Allen also bunted and was thrown out, but Shaheen made it around to third. A strike out and a ground out followed and the game and the season were over. In the Regional quarter-final game the Flucos hosted the Sherando High School Warriors on June 1. The Flucos scored early with one in the first and three in the second inning. They added two more in the fourth. Sherando broke through with two in the top of the sixth. After a rain delay, the Flucos added four in the bottom of the sixth for a 10-2 win. Kennedy pitched the win. Sophomore first baseman Sophie Kershner boomed a home run in the second inning and senior shortstop Alexis Scott doubled in the fourth. The Flucos finished the year with an impressive 20-4 record. Coach Aime McCall noted that this team set goals for itself at the start of the season and went on to exceed its goals, going into uncharted territory by making it to the Regional semi-finals. Although this was a veteran squad with a number of seniors contributing, and with Kennedy leaving early, McCall still believes that the future is promising for Fluco softball. She noted that the JV team was quite successful and she hopes that this team has established a culture of winning in the sport. Softball pitcher Annaleise Kennedy signed a letter of intent on Monday, June 1, to play Division 1 softball at Appalachian State University after her junior year in high school. Top students sometimes earn enough credits to graduate high school early or to start college with some college credits under their belt. Kennedy says she is not at the very top of her class, but she has been doing well and taking high level courses, so with a couple of summer school classes, she will be able to move on to college a year early. Kennedy is the first, but probably not the last, athlete to leave Fluvanna County High early. Kennedy pitched the Flucos to a very impressive 20-4 record this year, as the Flucos easily won the Conference 23 post-season conference. Kennedy fired a five inning nohitter in the quarterfinals of that tournament. At the signing ceremony, Kennedy was accompanied by her mother and her stepfather, Angela Kennedy and Christopher Burckhead. June 11, 2015 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | 15 Sheriff ’s office launches reserve deputy program BY CHRISTINA DIMEO GUSEMAN, CORRESPONDENT Twelve area residents gathered Tuesday evening (June 2) to join the Fluvanna County sheriff’s office reserve deputy program. Volunteer reserve deputies are trained to perform certain duties to assist the sheriff’s staff. They give the office more manpower and can allow paid staff to concentrate on more specialized tasks. Sheriff Eric Hess said that the Department of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) has three levels for auxiliary police officers: level one, which is a certified police officer meeting all the requirements of paid officers; level two, which is an officer with limited duties equivalent to a bailiff; and level three, which is an unarmed officer who could help with duties such as directing traffic. Those who complete this reserve deputy program will emerge as level two officers, Hess said, after they complete a supplemental week’s course that by law must be taught by the DCJS. The in-depth program holds classes two evenings a week and two full Saturdays a month through Aug. 1, and teaches the “exact same lesson plans that were taught at the academy,” Hess said. All the instructors come from the Fluvanna sheriff’s office and are DCJS-certified. Topics covered in the reserve deputy program include Virginia law, first aid and CPR, patrol techniques, firearms training, traffic training, use of force, defensive tactics, use of baton and chemical sprays, arrest procedures, cultural diversity, basic investigation skills, and driving. “The point of having the reserve deputy program is two-fold,” Hess said. “One is for people to help us. The other is for those who may not necessarily want a career in law enforcement but want to help, such as retired folks, or for younger people who may want to start a career in law enforcement.” In fact, the sheriff’s office has two parttime bailiff slots open that graduates from this course could fill, said Hess, who noted that he would be pleased to see new employees rise from the ranks of the reserve deputy program. “Tonight each candidate embarks on an exciting journey toward a career in law enforcement,” Hess told those who attended Tuesday’s program, according to a press release. “If you persevere and complete your training, you will serve our community as a sworn law enforcement deputy providing our office with the expertise and manpower needed to augment our fulltime staff.” Reserve deputy candidates must attend all in-service training, volunteer at least 10 hours per month, and purchase their own uniforms and equipment, said Captain Thomas Brennan. “Volunteers are our heroes because through your commitment and support we can get the job done,” Captain Von Hill told the group. “Volunteering time and talent speaks volumes of your character and we’re honored to have you as part of our team.” Supervisors from page 7 “That’s the problem with government, though; that’s what I’m saying,” said Weaver. “Here’s another pot. We don’t think about where we really probably need it. And that is – how about all those items that we took away off of this year’s budget that we probably really needed? Do we need [the kitchen] more than [those items]? I don’t know… I’m not against what you’re saying or doing – I think it is good. But everybody wants something.” Once grants, donations, and rental fees come in the amount of money spent could be smaller than the initial $32,000 to $37,000 figure. “This isn’t going to bankrupt us,” Weaver acknowledged, “but that’s where it starts. It starts with a grain of sand and it builds up.” “One, you have an opportunity to buy some equipment at a deep discount,” said O’Brien, “and two, you have other people waiting on us to show some commitment as to whether they move forward [with donations].” Supervisors agreed to revisit the question at their June 17 meeting. Absent from the meeting was Supervisor Bob Ullenbruch, who was attending to an emergency in Connecticut.

Hearing examiner Skirpan analyzed a significant amount of testimony for and against the service charge, including such written and verbal comments, before making up his mind. “I find that the petitioners failed to prove the need for the proposed rules and recommend that the commission deny this petition,” he wrote. Participants have 21 days to file comments supporting or opposing Skirpan’s recommendation. The SCC will then analyze all the information, including the hearing examiner’s ruling, and make its final decision. If a service charge is adopted over his recommendation, Skirpan proposed capping it at 5 percent of the annual revenues for each customer class. “I find that a cap on the WWISC rider would provide some assurance to customers that it will remain a small percentage of the total customer bill and not become the cost recovery mechanism of choice for utilities,” he wrote. The SCC’s final decision could take eight to 12 weeks, said Ann Neil Cosby, county attorney for Caroline County, a locality also affected by the proposed service charge. “This is definitely a positive step forward,” she said, “but not the end of the matter. We still have work to do.” Frank Buck, attorney for LMOA, would not speak to the Fluvanna Review. “This is wonderful news,” said Marlene Weaver, LMOA Board president. “Kudos and thanks to the community members that put efforts into helping this along to make it happen.” Becker and Aqua spokesperson Gretchen Toner were unable to comment before press time. Alexander F. Skirpan, Jr., senior hearing examiner for the State Corporation Commission (SCC), filed a report yesterday (June 8) recommending total denial of the request made by Aqua Virginia and other water companies to establish rules under which they could seek a water and wastewater infrastructure service charge (WWISC). “Based on the record in this case, I find that the petitioners have failed to prove sufficient need for the proposed rules,” Skirpan wrote in his ruling, which is not yet publicly available on the SCC website. “There is little, if any, evidence that water and wastewater utilities will be unable to address aging infrastructure concerns through the existing ratemaking process. Indeed, both of the petitioners’ witnesses acknowledged that the current ratemaking process permits accelerated infrastructure replacement.” Aqua Virginia joined with other water companies to petition the SCC to establish rules that would allow them to seek a WWISC, or an additional fee on top of customers’ monthly water and sewer charges, that would directly fund infrastructure projects. Shannon V. Becker, Aqua Virginia president, explained that having a service charge would allow Aqua to replace critical infrastructure more quickly and to save money in the process. Mike Harrison, a member of the Lake Monticello Owners’ Association (LMOA) Board of Directors, countered that Aqua’s rate structure already includes infrastructure and an additional charge would be “double-dipping” customers. This case, along with Aqua Virginia’s pending request to raise water rates by 8 to 21 percent and sewer rates by 4 to 13 percent, garnered a significant amount of local attention. Residents of Fluvanna and other localities submitted many comments to the SCC in opposition to the service charge and some spoke at a hearing on the matter in Richmond on The Virginia Department of Rail and Public Transportation (DRPT) - NOTICE OF PUBLIC COMMENT - June 7, 2015 - THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF RAIL AND PUBLIC TRANSORTATION has established an overall goal of 5.3% for participation of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) organizations in Federal Transit Administration contracting opportunities during the federal fiscal years beginning October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2018 pursuant to the requirements of the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) 49 CFR Part 26.

Sitting down together Wednesday night (June 3), they hashed out a nine-step shortterm plan for rescue services that covers the next 18 to 24 months. They also established a four-step long-term plan that includes an unprecedented action: hiring a Fluvanna County fire and rescue chief. Last December when members of the FRA sat down with county staff and supervisors, they warned that Fluvanna County, as distinguished from the area served by the Lake Monticello Volunteer Rescue Squad, did not have adequate rescue coverage. Because of the seriousness of the situation, supervisors voted to hire a second contract crew from the University of Virginia (U.Va.) to cover night as well as day shift. Supervisors tasked the FRA with creating a solution Starting your own business can be challenging, but it does not have to be! Already have a business, are you looking to grow your current level of success?

Our goal is to provide practical, easy to implement tools in an efficient and welcoming workshop environment. 22 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | June 11, 2015 July 3rd, 2015 Photo by Christina Dimeo Guseman to the rescue crisis behind which its all-volunteer members would rally. But when the FRA and supervisors met again in January the FRA had not been able to agree on a way forward. Len Bozza, president of Lake Monticello Volunteer Fire Department & Rescue Squad, told the Board then that the FRA was simply “unable” to reach a consensus. So the solutions agreed upon at Wednesday night’s meeting mark a leap forward for rescue plans in Fluvanna County. Elliott began the work session by telling the Board that throughout many discussions about the future of rescue in Fluvanna, the concern emerges that with the decline of volunteerism across the country, Fluvanna may not be able to summon enough volunteers for a volunteer or even part-volunteer rescue squad. If this does prove to be the case, she said, eventually Fluvanna may have to create a county department and hire a county rescue chief who would oversee the transition and help to create policies. Fluvanna has been able to sustain “wonderful volunteer effort” for longer than surrounding counties, said County Administrator Steve Nichols, and so therefore is behind the curve in deciding upon a way forward in the blended world of part-volunteer, partpaid rescue personnel. There needs to be some corporate help for Fluvanna Rescue, he said, so that someone can write reports and complete other administrative tasks so that volunteers can still run calls. Supervisor Tony O’Brien commented that the dynamic of having a paid contingent within a group of volunteers can be “tenuous.” He thought it was “pretty inevitable” that the volunteer component would “evaporate” in a short time if the county began paying some members of the squad. Joe Orsolini, chief of Lake Monticello Volunteer Rescue Squad, said that he thought it could be done if the system were built “correctly and positively,” by “solicit[ing] the input from volunteers and really work[ing] with the people that use the system the most, which right now is the volunteers, [who] can help guide and direct you.” Chairperson Mozell Booker then set the conversation on a goal-oriented path by saying, “I would like for us to leave here tonight with something we can say is going to occur.” Scott Carpenter, chief of Lake Monticello Fire Department and president of FRA, said that it was really up to Fluvanna Rescue to decide whether it is “willing to change.” And then it is up to the county, he said, to determine whether Fluvanna Rescue’s willingness or unwillingness to change is acceptable. “There have been so many circular concerns about this issue,” he said. “Last fire and rescue meeting I swear I just wanted to put my head through a wall. I’m frustrated. I’m over this. Somebody needs to make a good and appropriate decision.” And during the course of the meeting, they did. First they decided to maintain current operations with two U.Va. contract crews plus Fluvanna Rescue volunteers running calls two to four nights a month. Fluvanna Rescue also agreed to coordinate with the county in a campaign to find volunteers to fill administrative rolls within the organization. Elliott had suggested closing the rescue stations in Kents Store and in Fork Union due to a lack of volunteers to staff them. Crystal Mayo, captain of Fluvanna Rescue, said that her squad would like to keep both Palmyra and Kents Store open, but agreed to “mothballing” or selling Fork Union. As a part of this process, the Palmyra and Kents Store stations will be renovated. They also agreed to sell the county’s fifth ambulance, maintaining four for rescue use. They will realign first due maps, or the areas to which the different stations respond, to better utilize resources. Beefing up the corporate structure of Fluvanna Rescue may make it easier to achieve another step in the plan, which is to implement a “robust, realistic volunteer recruitment and retention program.” Nichols asked for retention-related budget proposals for fiscal year 2017. In the long-term the group threw their support behind hiring a fire and rescue chief – not just a rescue chief – for Fluvanna County. But that led to some questions from Nichols. “What is that fire and rescue chief going to do when you don’t agree with him?” he asked. “Who’s going to be in charge? Lake? Fluvanna Fire? Fluvanna Rescue? He or she’s going to be telling people what to do. How about the corporate boards?” “He’s going to lead us through this transition,” replied Andrew Pullen, Kents Store fire chief. “That’s what we need. All of us are never going to see eye to eye.” “You’re right,” said Nichols. “But you’re not going to see eye to eye when we hire somebody either.” Pullen replied that the chief would be in charge. “The fire and rescue chief fills the current need… to start the transition, to start collaboration,” agreed Carpenter. “I think that the discussions about the rescue squad have shed light on the fact that yes, we will never [agree].” Hiring the fire and rescue chief is step one of the long-term plan. That chief would work on steps two and three, which are creating a new county department and obtaining a county emergency medical services license for fiscal year 2017 or 2018. The fourth step of the plan is allowing Lake Monticello Rescue to remain intact for as long as volunteers are available. Because he thinks the volunteer situation is “only going to get worse,” Pullen said he was eager to see the new fire and rescue chief come on board. “Look at how much the system has changed in 24 months,” he said. Though right now his company has adequate firefighters, “in 24 more months we may be back here saying we need firefighters bad. We don’t know.” Nichols asked Elliott and the FRA to “massage” the plans before December so that any financial implications were ready to go for next budget season.

The volunteers are part of a program called “Carpenters for Christ” – a group which sends out teams of carpenters to various churches to help with construction projects. This particular team is based in Glen Church in Glen St. Mary, Florida, but the volunteers come from 12 different churches in five states. All of them will call Beulah Baptist Church home for the next week. “God calls us once a year to serve a local church that is growing and bursting at the seams,” explained Eric Raulerson, the team leader. “We want to come build something for them so they can keep right on growing! “ The sanctuary and fellowship hall will add 7,000 square feet of space. Why would these men give up their vacation time, sleep on cots and eat food prepared in a church kitchen for a week each year? “God has been so good to us,” said Raulerson. “He saved us and he has given us a purpose in life. This is one of our purposes in life. He’s been so good to us and we can’t wait to find ways to serve him, and that is why we are here,” he added. Beulah Baptist Church member and head of the building committee Donald Hackler was impressed by the speed with which progress was being made. “We’ve been working for less than an hour and we’ve already got a wall up! They are hoping by lunch time to have all of the walls up so they can start setting trusses.” “It is just amazing that they are willing to come and do this,” Hackler added. “It would have been another year at least - possibly two – before we could have done this without their help,” he said. “We have seen a lot of excitement in the church – excitement that we are going to be able to expand our facilities and bring more people to Christ.” Pastor Jason Taylor shared Hackler’s excitement about the project. “This will be a space that we will use for worship now because we have outgrown our current sanctuary,” Taylor said. “Also, it is going to help with our people with mobility issues with the church – we have some members – and some guests – who have trouble getting around so the fact that it is one level will really help,” he added. “The building itself is not the point,” Taylor said. “It is just the tool to help people come into a relationship with Christ and to grow in their relationship with Christ once they come here,” he said. “It has been a long process,” said building committee member June Perkins, “but then once we really started, it seemed to move so fast! God just put the right people in the right place at the right time, so it has all worked out. I’m looking forward to this building which will be handicapped accessible,” Perkins added. “It will be great to have a fellowship hall that we can have fellowship in with everyone. It is going to be great for the community when we do functions to serve the community.” Carpenters for Christ will remain at Beulah Baptist through Friday, June 12.
