I had parked my car at the top of the driveway before the snowstorm. When I went to drive it to the store two days later, someone had shoveled all around my car with a clear shot to the plowed street. I checked with the usual suspects to express my appreciation, but none had done it. So it remains a mystery. I hope whoever my benefactor is reads this thank you. – Len Gardner, Lake Monticello Snow blower man Bring in your photo/art file and we’ll make a canvas print, ready to hang Signs • Banners Custom Calendars Canvas Portraits Art Prints Photo Packages Copying Blueprints, Prints, etc. Mailbox Rentals Fax Send & Receive Laminating Document Shredding Notary Public Full / Self Serve Copying (black & white/color) Large Format Professional Packing Specialty Boxes On behalf of myself and my neighbors I want to thank Bing Spitler, my neighbor who moved here from Cincinnati a few years ago. Unlike me, who sold his snow blower right before we started getting big snow accumulations he still had his. He did my driveway and other paved driveways as well as many mailboxes. This is the spirit that makes living at the Lake so pleasant. I am glad he is running for the Board of Directors. Thanks Bing. – Tom Braithwaite, Lake Monticello Snow-free Lake roads Kudos to the people who are responsible for clearing the roads during the recent snow storm! I was in RIchmond throughout the snow and dreaded coming home. I-64 and Rt. 15 were clear as was expected, but the best surprise was riding on cleared and dry secondary roads. Then, I entered Lake Monticells. Wow! I have lived at the Lake for 28 years and this is the first storm I remember with the roads cleared so quickly. Great job, everyone!

Last week, after the big snowstorm, our ambulance responded to a 911 call to a house which was situated down a steep hill from the roadway, and the hill, long driveway, walkway, and steps were deep in snow. We had to leave the ambulance on the roadway, because, even with its 4-wheel drive, we weren’t sure the ambulance would have been able to go down the hill, through the deep snow, and back up the steep hill with the patient. With two responding Lake fire fighters, we could have carried the patient up the hill on a stretcher, slogging through the deep snow. However, Lake Officer Melissa Butler Inc. dba Justin G.

Over two days, there were over 500 middle and high school students from public and private schools all around Virginia who attended. I was amazed at their depth of knowledge concerning the United States Constitution. The primary goal of We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution, is to promote civic competence and responsibility among the nation’s elementary and secondary students. What makes the program so successful is the design of its instructional program, including its innovative culminating activity. The instructional program enhances student’s understanding of the institutions of American constitutional democracy. At the same time, students discover the contemporary relevance of the Constitution and Bill of Rights. The students participated in simulated congressional hearings. Each member was an expert witness on one of the six units in the text and then testified in small groups before a panel of judges acting as U.S. congressional representatives. During the simulated congressional hearing, students were judges on six criteria: understanding, constitutional application, reasoning, supporting evidence, responsiveness, and participation. The high school state champion, which is determined by total points, will represent Virginia at the 2014 We the People National Finals in Washington, DC this spring. I believe our government’s future is in very good hands. – Dr Robert Mayfield, Tenaska, Scottsville Enrolled to pr actice before the Internal Revenue Ser vice Licensed Professional for 45 Years 105 Crofton Plaza, Just Outside LM Main Gate (434) 589-9233 • FREE Electronic Filing with Tax preparation Make Your • Reasonable fees Appointment • Extended office hours Today! • Tax Planning for Individuals & Small Businesses • Payroll & Bookkeeping services • Refer a Friend for extra savings Tony Abbott also responded to the EMS call. While we assessed the patient and started treatment, Abbott contacted an Lake Monticello Owners’ Association pickup with a plow, to plow the driveway down the hill so the ambulance could reach the house. While the plow was on its way, Officer Abbott shoveled the deep snow off the porch and the walkway to the driveway. Many thanks to the LMOA driver who rapidly responded and plowed the driveway, expediting patient transport to the hospital. Kudos to Abbott, and all of Lake Monticello’s Finest, who provide such community-oriented service. – Lyle Plitt, Palmyra Center to open for elderly Virginia’s newest program of all-inclusive care for the elderly – the Blue Ridge PACE Center – received its government approval to begin enrolling residents in the program and will officially open March 1. The formal approval to commence operations came in January by the Commonwealth of Virginia and Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. The Blue Ridge PACE Center – located in Charlottesville at 1335 Carlton Avenue – will offer comprehensive care to approximately 175 older adults, enabling them to remain in their homes and communities. The center will serve central Virginia, including Fluvanna County. Blue Ridge PACE offers comprehensive recreational therapy, physical, occupational and speech therapy, personal care facilities, library, pharmacy, nutritional services, health center as well as community based services including transportation and home based personal care. PACE serves those aged 55 and older who meet Virginia’s criteria for nursing home admission. The federally authorized program is funded primarily by Medicare and Medicaid, although those without Medicaid coverage are also eligible. Construction of the Blue Ridge PACE Center generated an estimated $3 million in local construction work. Once it reaches capacity Blue Ridge PACE will employ an estimated 100 staff members.

School board tackles bus, bus driver issues Dean’s List Virginia Tech Jasher Grunau, son of Gary and Patricia Grunau of Fork Union, was named to the fall Dean’s List at Virginia Tech where he is a freshman in the Honors Engineering program. He is a 2013 graduate of Fork Union Military Academy. B RY ER Central and West Central: 20 school buses; Middle School and Carysbrook: 31 school buses; High school: 25 buses; Special needs: three buses; (Total 79 buses.) For efficiency purposes: The schools would use the 11 middle school/Carysbrook buses that cover the Rt. 53 corridor/ Lake area to cover the same high school route. These buses have shorter routes and would be able to return to the high school in a reasonable amount of time. By using these 11 buses, the number of buses needed would drop from 79 to 68; thus no additional routes would be added. Benefits: • Eliminates the large number of buses loading/unloading at Central. • Eliminates approximately 20-30 minutes of seat time for Central/WCES, Carysbrook and the middle school. • Adds possibility of 15 minutes of instructional time per day. Proposed Schedule: School AM Unload Time CES/WCES 7:45 a.m. MS/Carysbrook 7:25 a.m. High School 8:30 a.m. Instructional Time 8:10 a.m. – 3:10 p.m. 7:45 a.m. – 2:45 p.m. 8:45 a.m. – 3:45 p.m. PM Load Time 3:10 p.m. 2:45 p.m. 3:45 p.m. Parent Pickup 3:10 p.m. 2:50 p.m. 3:45 p.m. Featured Properties Stunning 4br on 2.87 ac. • Reedy Creek Louisa • $359,900 # 517481 • HW flrs,Dr,LR,FR,Gormt kit • Donna Patton 434-962-0411 Storybook setting 8.8 ac • Palmyra, Fluvanna • $300,000 # 516478 • Lvl past.

Fluvanna County School administrators are tackling several transportation issues including driver compensation, bus routes and student time spent in transport. The discussion comes because of several factors, including issues surrounding the Affordable Care Act, said Superintendent Gena Keller. Right now, all drivers, no matter how many hours they work, are eligible for benefits, Keller said. “The Health Care Reform Act requires us to determine how many hours an employee must work to qualify for health insurance benefits,” Keller said. “Most school divisions require four to six hours per day. We are going to ask our Board to approve four and a half hours per day. Also we have to be able to create a system that helps us track the hours that an employee works. Paying by the hour will help us meet this requirement.” At the School Board meeting Wed. (Feb. 12) Transportation Supervisor Jessica Cannon said out of 66 drivers, there are only nine who right now don’t already work four and a half hours. Cannon is meeting with those drivers to see if there is a way to give them more hours if they want them. Another consideration is pay equity, Keller said. Right now, drivers are paid a daily rate no matter how many hours they drive. The scale starts at $71.05 per day for drivers with up to five years’ experience and tops out at $89.14 per day for drivers with 29 years’ experience. That amounts to some drivers getting close to $70 per hour, Keller said. “Our scale is inequitable,” she said. “By paying the daily rate there are drivers who drive for one and a half hours who make the same day rate as a driver who drives four hours. We need to restructure this scale. Area school systems pay by the route, pay by the hour and some still pay by the contracted hours. Few pay a daily rate.” Keller said Cannon is meeting with her focus group to “assist in making this a smooth transition.” Cannon reported to the Board that her focus group is also looking at staggering school start times to cut down on the amount of buses needed and to shorten the time young students ride the bus. The added benefit of staggering start times is giving up to 15 more minutes per day of instructional time, Cannon said. The proposed schedule suggests using 11 of the Carysbrook Elementary/middle school routes to run a double run by going back to Lake Monticello and pick up high school students, Keller said. “This gives 11 of our drivers an opportunity to get additional hours to meet the required time for getting health insurance benefits,” Keller said. “The staggered start also gives us the opportunity to increase instructional time by about 15 minutes per day.” Perhaps the best result of staggering routes is giving Central and West Central Elementary their own buses, she said. “This shortens the time on the bus for them by approximately 20 to 30 minutes,” Keller said. “These are our youngest students and they are on the bus entirely too long this year. Putting Carysbrook and Fluvanna Middle School together shortens their time on the bus by approximately 15 to 20 minutes.” BAY BY RUTHANN CARR, CORRESPONDENT Proposed school bus configuration changes for school year 2014-15 Art Supplies & Scrapbooking 25% OFF ALL FLUCO SCRAPBOOKING ITEMS TIL FEBRUARY 28TH Elegant Contemporary Reedy Creek, Louisa $399,500 # 517124 Overside Kitchen Tom Woolfolk 434-242-1991 1187 Shiloh Church Road, Palmyra Off Haden Martin Road Open Wed., Thur., Fri. 10-4 & Sat 9-1 or Call for an Appointment 434-996-1354 Henry Chandler & Company Tree & Landscape Care Your Professional Tree Doctor • Pine & Hardwood Mulching • Careful Tree Removal • Stump Grinding • Emergency Tree Removal Henry A.

Their outreach program is called The Glass Slipper and is based on similar programs across the country. Since 1999, The Glass Slipper Project has been giving away or selling for a nominal price hundreds of dresses before proms, according to Wikipedia. “It operates like a boutique, with a selection of thousands of new and almost-new dresses, shoes and accessories. Students shop for a free outfit, aided by a corps of more than 500 volunteer personal shoppers, and alterations are available on site,” according to Wikipedia. “Cinderella came to mind. It is a princess theme. We feel like all the girls that participate should feel beautiful,” said Feight. The program was created to show young girls, who may be unable to afford to pay a lot of money for a dress and accessories, that there is a group of women who understand the joy of a high school prom. “We want to make their prom memorable and for them to feel special. Our mission is Biblical Verse-1 John 4:19: ‘We love because a God first loved us,” said Feight. The program will benefit high Rivanna Hearing Aid Center elps Yo u Yo u r Hea ring H oment...

The group is looking for new or gently worn clothing of all sizes and accessories. The following locations will be taking donations through Feb. 28; Angell’s Fitness & Dance, A Cut Above and More, Jefferson Pharmacy, Anna Murphy’s State Farm office, and Lauterbach Chiropractic. The Dresses into Dreams event takes place on March 8 at the Effort Baptist Church from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., where the clothing and accessories will be offered at nominal prices. To close or not to close? KYLEE DIXON, FLUVANNA COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL JOURNALISM STUDENT To close, or not to close? This is the question everyone in Fluvanna has been asking this winter. And while it’s easy to be angry (or happy) with the decisions, few realize all the factors that go into the decision to delay or close school. Students may think that school is cancelled whenever there is the slightest hint of snow or ice. But while residents of Lake Monticello may not see problems with their roads, those who live in the far reaches of Fluvanna know the poor conditions all too well. Fluvanna is primarily composed of secondary roads which are virtually never treated by VDOT by the time Fluvanna buses hit the roads in the mornings. “We begin picking students up at 6:30 am. On a two-hour delay that becomes 8:30 am, and often the temperatures have still not risen high enough to melt the ice or snow,” said Tom Patrick, who makes those cancellation recordings you get on your phone. In order to insure the safety of the students, many people are involved in making the decision to close school. Some of the deciding factors include: Can the bus drivers get the students in a reasonable time and transport them safely? Are the buses able to run a route without shutting down? Is there ice or snow on the roads? Is VDOT helping those back roads? Are the bordering counties seeing problems with the connecting roads? If school does open, does the school believe they can transport the students home safely and have enough time to warn parents in case of an early release? Even the superintendent has a role in the decision. “I connect with area superintendents to determine which schools are planning to close,” said Superintendent Gena Keller. All of these factors are carefully considered when making a final decision, which is far more complicated than just looking out one’s bedroom window. “Fluvanna has never closed for ‘nothing.’ This is one of the most difficult decisions that has to be made [and] we want our staff and students to be here,” said Patrick. Another consideration in whether to close school is the safety of teen drivers. “There may still be an ‘invisible threat’ called black ice. Black ice forms when any leftover moisture on the roads freezes,” said local meteorologist Brantley Ussery. E W THOMAS , INC.

That’s why having good tires is crucial. “Tires that have exceeded their lifespan should be replaced by new ones and they should be inflated to an appropriate level,” said Ussery. A final consideration is that most teens have had limited experience driving on icy roads, which makes wintery days especially dangerous. “Practicing accelerating, braking and turning in an empty snow-covered parking lot could help teens understand how their vehicle handles in these conditions,” said Patrick. The district staff always tries its hardest to ensure safety for all students. So while many like to assume they know why decisions are made, in this case, what you don’t know could be the thing that hurts you. Boneless Flat Iron Steaks ...................... $6.99 lb.

Atkins presented his proposal to the School Board Wed. (Feb. 12). Wearing his Scout uniform, Atkins stood at the podium and explained that he wanted to build a small, amphitheater-style classroom for the Outdoor Adventure program. He needed the Board to sign off on the project that will cost the school nothing. Atkins estimated materials for the project will cost $419. He will raise all funds and give any money not used to the Outdoor Adventure program. “Right now there is a lot of interest in the community to donate money and materials for the project,” Atkins said. Board member Carol Tracy Carr asked about the location of the classroom. Atkins said he would build it on the west end of the high school, behind where school buses now park. He plans to build nine benches that will hold eight students each. The stage will be a slightly raised platform. There will be clipboards available for each student. Carr asked if any extra money could be used to add to the classroom. “I would like to make an all-weather white board part of the project, if I get enough money, “ Atkins said. The area for the outdoor classroom is near a trail that used to connect to the Heritage Trail system. “I was told that this was an expansion project that they built but is now on high school property,” Atkins said. “After the derecho came through many trees blocked the trail and it just needs to be cleared.” Atkins said he and other students in the Outdoor Adventure program plan to clear the trail. While Atkins is in charge of the project, other Boy Scouts in the area will help him build the classroom which he estimates will take a couple months to complete. “I will start it by March and it has to be completed by my 18th birthday – so no later than July 27,” he said. It will be up to the local Scout troop to Bryant Atkins wants to build an outdoor classroom at the high school as part of his Eagle Scout service project. Photo by Bryant Atkins maintain the project, but Atkins said he plans on using the longest-lasting wood sealant to insure the wood doesn’t rot. Atkins said he considered many other projects, but they seemed a “cliché.” “Then when the high school was built and I heard that the Outdoor Program lost their space and the space they had was little to nothing with all the downed trees, I thought this would be helpful,” Atkins said. Atkins is seeking permission to use the school’s non-profit status to benefit donors to his project. School Superintendent Gena Keller said she would have an answer for Atkins in the near future. Originally the classroom was to be built directly behind the school outside the carpentry and horticulture area, but a new greenhouse was erected in the space. The Outdoor Program was then moved to the present area. Atkins said after graduation he plans on going to college to earn a degree in the business field. “Then after college I hope to obtain a job with a cruise line (Royal Caribbean) in hotel operations and maybe get a job at their land-side operations,” he said. February 20, 2014 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | 9 BLACK HISTORY MONTH Fluvanna residents name books that have inspired BY RUTHANN CARR, CORRESPONDENT er How can I lo?w my taxes Many agree while Black History Month is a good start bringing to light the contributions blacks have made in shaping our nation, it doesn’t go far enough. For one thing, black history, like all history, isn’t stagnant, said William Hughes. “In the black community our history continues from day to day,” said Hughes, a former school board member. “We always talk about our history and it evolves month to month, year to year. It’s a valued history that should be taught more in our schools.” Many blacks who try to trace their genealogy run into roadblocks unlike others who came to the United States by choice. That’s in part because for so many years, black slaves didn’t have a last name and legal records weren’t kept in the same way they were for whites. While free blacks had legal rights, slaves did not. They were listed as property. And for so many years, it was illegal for blacks to be literate. As a result, much of their history is not written, but is oral, Hughes said. “There is a lot of misconception because a lot of our history, like many other cultures, is mostly verbal - passed down from generation to generation,” Hughes said. “It’s how you evolved. (But) it’s important to know your history to know what direction you are going.” Because reading is so important, The Fluvanna Review asked several local black residents to name a book that inspired them. Here’s what we learned: Hughes said he’s read several books that have influenced him, including the autobiography of Frederick Douglass, titled, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave. He was also influenced by James Baldwin, who Hughes heard speak when he was in school. “I read a lot of James Baldwin growing up,” Hughes said. “He was condemned in this country for speaking out like Langston Hughes did. James Baldwin was the first African-American back in the ‘50s brave enough to write about the AfricanAmerican experience. His type of writing was the type that was more visual. He had a way with words. Was also a great orator like Frederick Douglass and Martin Luther King, Jr.” And because of the boldness of his writings…he migrated to France where he wouldn’t be ostracized because of his sexuality.” Hughes cited Go Tell it On the Mountain and The Fire Next Time as some of his fa- If I volunteer, c an driving mileaIg deduct e? Can I deduct my SelfEmployment taxes? vorite Baldwin works. Hughes’ son, Heath Hughes, is a teacher’s aide at Carysbrook Elementary. He said he enjoyed reading Black Like Me, by John Howard Griffin. Griffin was a white journalist living in Dallas in the late ‘50s when he decided to disguise himself as a black man and travel – mostly by bus – throughout the Deep South. His book chronicles that experience. Valerie Bradley loves the book, Chicken Soup for the African American Soul. “It’s a collection of stories from different authors, (such as) T.J. Bishop, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Yolanda King,” Bradley said. “It helped me reading about how people dealt with difficulties in life.” Bradley said she loves reading and started keeping a list years ago of the books she read. “I read over 600 books, but then I lost the list,” she said. “I started a new list in September 2012 and I’ve read 75. My husband and I worked different shifts and I don’t like TV that much, so I read. We can’t afford to travel that much, but when you read, it takes you different places.” Andrea Gaines is the communications officer for the Fluvanna County Sheriff’s Department. The book she read that most influenced her was Native Son, by Richard Wright. “I first read this book as a young child, and I was fascinated by its focus on the black experience in America,” Gaines $30 OFF TAX PREPARATION What tax law c hang affect my retur es will n?

Dubois. “I eventually became a journalist, and I believe that reading Wright’s work at young age helped to cultivate the love for reading and writing that I have now.” Lucille Brown said a book that touched her was the children’s book The Story of Ruby Bridges by Robert Coles. Bridges was the first black child to integrate a white Southern elementary school, According to Bridges’ website: “When Ruby was in kindergarten, she was one of many African-American students in New Orleans who were chosen to take a test determining whether or not she could attend a white school. It is said the test was written to be especially difficult so that students would have a hard time passing. The idea was if all the AfricanAmerican children failed the test, New Orleans schools might be able to stay segregated for a while longer. She lived a mere five blocks from an all-white school, but attended kindergarten several miles away, at an all-black segregated school.” Bridges was the subject of the famous Norman Rockwell painting, The Problem We All Live With. What touched Brown about the story by Coles was how her teacher watched from the school window as Bridges was escorted through the jeering crowd. “When Ruby got to class, there were no other students, just her teacher,” Brown said. “Her teacher asked her who she had been talking to. Ruby said, ‘I wasn’t talking.’ The teacher said, ‘I was watching you and I saw your mouth moving. ‘and Ruby said, ‘I was praying.’ (It touches me) Because she was so brave – just a brave little girl to be a six-year-old and to have that much faith.” Brown’s son, Luvelle Brown, is the Ithaca City School District Superintendent and a 1992 Fluvanna High School graduate. He was recently named one of the nation’s most “tech savvy” school superintendents by eSchool News, a leading publication for educators. Luvelle Brown said he learned a lot when he read The Warmth of Other Suns: The Epic Story of America’s Great Migration by Isabel Wilkerson. “This non-fiction novel is one of the most beautifully written and impactful books I’ve ever read,” Brown wrote in an email. “The book explores the experiences of three African-Americans that fled the South during what would be called the Great Migration. Previously, I had a very superficial understanding of the fear, passion, and other emotions associated with the African-American experience in the Jim Crow South. While reading Wilkerson’s novel, I felt a connection to the characters, and often felt the same emotions attributed to the book’s characters.” Brown said he’s done a lot of research in his quest to learn more about his African-American history. “After reading The Warmth of Other Suns, I realize that my previous knowledge of dates, historical figures, and other details have provided only a superficial understanding and appreciation of the sacrifices that preceded my existence. Having a sense of my elders’ emotions has provided a much deeper understanding.” James Barlow is the principal of Fluvanna County High School. A book that meant a lot to him is It Worked For Me. In Life and Leadership by Colin Powell with Tony Koltz. “I have always admired and respected Colin Powell,” Barlow wrote in an email. “In chapter one of his book, he writes about his 13 rules. In his first rule, he writes ‘It ain’t as bad as you think. It will look better in the morning.’ I particularly like this rule because I have never been a worrier and he is basically saying be optimistic because every day is new, which gives you the opportunity to correct that which was wrong the day before. If a person has confidence, then regardless of how difficult the situation is, they will have the perseverance to get through it.” Gloria Vest, along with her husband, George, has served Fluvanna County by volunteering for the Fluvanna Volunteer Rescue Squad for 40 years. Vest attends Evergreen Baptist Church and sent along a list of books she and her fellow church members have read. “These books have motivated, inspired and gave courage. We are proud of their accomplishments,” Vest wrote to the Review. The books are: “12 Years A Slave” by Solomon Northup “The Slaves Have Names” by Andi Cumbo-Floyd, a Fluvannian “The Book of African American Poetry” by James Weldon Johnson Debra Y.

MLS # 513812. 108 Jefferson Dr. Counselor Rhonie Butler has been helping those in the area deal with difficult issues since 2008. From her cottage office behind the Haden Building on Thomas Jefferson Parkway, west of Food Lion, Butler offers individual counseling as well as therapy groups. “Learning to deal with emotions and how we feel has a lot to do with how we’ve dealt with them historically,” Butler said. “It’s also about changing the way we view the world.” When Butler sees a need, she tries to fill it. That’s what was behind her starting two new therapy groups: Caregiver Stress Relief and Caregiver Recovery. Our society is aging and many people are dealing with the stress of caring for a loved one. Different issues arise when that loved one dies. “Caring for a loved one and losing then can affect you in ways you don’t expect,” Butler said. “In the Caregiver Recovery – Loss of a Loved One group, we discuss getting back to your own life in a new way.” Other groups Butler facilitates deal with Domestic Violence, Chronic Pain and Anger Management. “We all get angry,” she said. “It’s how we deal with it that matters.” Butler is a licensed clinical therapist. She has an undergraduate degree in human services counseling and a minor in psychology. Butler chose to get her Master’s Degree in social work because it “includes the whole person and the environment and how it all works together,” she said. “It’s not a medical model that may just focus on problems. We all have strengths and (I enjoy) helping people learn to use them in dealing with pain, grief, despair and anger.” Butler recognizes there are barriers to people seeking help through a counselor. Many feel they can’t afford it, but Butler takes most insurance. Other barriers are more individual. “It depends on what the person is dealing with and when they’re ready to come and take a look at it,” she said. Before opening her practice in Fluvanna, Butler served on the Domestic Violence Fatality Review Board in Richmond and Henrico County. The purpose of the board was to examine what actions, problems and behaviors led up to a death due to domestic violence. Butler would like to see such a review board in Charlottesville and Central Virginia. Butler sees a lot of strength in Fluvanna and it’s a main reason she chose to Counselor Rhonie Butler Photo by Ruthann Carr open her practice here. “It’s a great place to live, raise children and enjoy retirement,” Butler said. “I enjoy giving back to the community with my skills to help folks with growing and healing and loving each other. In that way, I can help make this an even better community to live in.” Her counseling service is called Cross Roads Counseling Services and is located at 6440 Thomas Jefferson Parkway.

Do some ‘cross-your-heart’ pruning; that is, lift and separate. An obvious indication of overcrowding is plants branching on one side and leaning way out to get a bit of sun. If they are small enough, transplant to a more open location; if large enough, remove some lower limbs to make a higher shade canopy. If they can’t reach a mature height and can’t be tamed to continue at a reduced size, cut them down. They won’t be missed and all will look better and be healthier in the long run.

I try to control an unruly abelia hedge in winter by cutting several feet off of 1/3 of the main stems and then thin it by removing some of the oldest canes. I shape spirea and barberry, take dead stalks out of the lilacs and trim the wonderful ‘Major Wheeler’ red honeysuckle. Prune with purpose. Deciduous trees show their shape in winter and I work on trees that leaf out early first, such as birch and maple. Examine branches for disease and remove or spray with dormant oil. Remove crossing or broken branches and those growing at too tight an angle with the trunk. Thin the canopy to let in light and always cut to an outward facing bud or branch. Work slowly and stand back from time to time. Remember to disinfect your tools (10% solution of rubbing alcohol and water; 2 tablespoons/cup) and keep them sharp. Be sure ladders are well placed. Wear eye protection and gloves. Remember that it is always good to work when someone else is around in case of injury. February 20, 2014 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | 13 Fluco boys fall in quarterfinals BY DUNCAN NIXON, CORRESPONDENT The Flying Fluco boys’ basketball team looked like it was on its way to the Jefferson District semifinals on Monday (Feb 8). Fluco freshman Aamir Simms coolly drained two free throws with seventeen seconds left in regulation to give the Flucos a 48-42 lead over the Monticello Mustangs. Unfortunately for the Flucos, the Mustangs pulled off a miracle finish. They rushed the ball down court and nailed a three point shot (only their second of the game). The Flucos in-bounded the ball, but Monticello trapped a Fluco in the corner and forced a turnover. After a time out, the Mustangs converted on a desperation three point shot from the corner to tie the game, as time expired. In the four minute overtime that followed, the Flucos were unable to score a basket. They made two of four free throws, while Monticello scored two baskets and a free throw to win 53-50. The Flucos are now out of the Jefferson District playoffs. However, they still have the Conference 23 tournament, which began on Feb 18. The Flucos start this tournament off by hosting Amherst County High School. This Jefferson District playoff game was a first for most of the players on Coach Munro Rateau’s roster. As is always the case in playoff encounters, the game was intensely fought throughout. In the first quarter, the score seesawed back and The Flucos are out of the Jefferson District playoffs. They played in the Conference 23 tournament Feb. 18. Photo by Deborah Nixon forth with the Mustangs holding a two point lead at 13-11, as the quarter ended. Goodience Flannigan, a senior guard, led the Flucos with five points. The second quarter was much like the first, both teams were playing tight defense and neither team managed to gain an advantage. At the half, the Mustangs still clung to a two point lead, 23-21. In this quarter, junior guard Talavious Hughes led the Flucos with five points.

However, the Flucos rallied and scored eleven straight points to end the third quarter with a 37-31 lead. Included in the run were two stop and pop jumpers by Flannigan off the break, and an old fashion three-point play by Aamir Simms. The run was finished off when junior Julian Bonner won control of the ball in a scramble near mid-court and shoveled a pass to Aamir Simms for a thunderous dunk. Aamir Simms led the Flucos in the quarter with seven, while Flannigan had six. In the fourth quarter, the defense was intense and there were few good scoring chances for either team. With two minutes remaining, the Flucos still had a five point lead at 42-37. So, only eleven points were scored in the first six minutes of the quarter. In the final two minutes, Monticello scored on an offensive rebound to cut the lead to three. Flannigan made two free throws to take the lead back to five, Monticello made a layup to cut it back to three. Junior Jake Mooney made two more free throws to up the lead back to five. Monticello made one of two free throws to make it a four point game. With a mere seventeen clicks left on the clock Simms calmly dropped in two more free throws for a seemingly safe six point lead. Then, as described above, it fell apart for the Flucos. Flannigan led the Flucos in scoring with 20. Aamir Simms had 14, and Hughes contributed nine. After the game, Coach Rateau credited his team for “a great effort.” However, he noted that his team did not execute quite as well as they could have down the stretch. The Flucos did not score from the field in the final three minutes of regulation, or in the four minute overtime. It is now on to the Conference 23 tournament for the Flucos, which leads to the State tournament under the new VHSL format. As is the case for most year-end tournaments this format is win or go home.

Those in attendance were concerned with privacy and who had access to data gathered by drones. Harrison understood their trepidation regarding drone technology and stated, “We’re selling privacy for convenience,” after everyone in the room admitted they had a smart phone, GPS, or were on Facebook. Harrison is a former research pilot for the U.S. Air Force. He explained that early drones were used as targets but today they are used to gather data. Drones can do so many things faster and more efficiently than humanly possible, including scanning power lines or inspecting ranch. Drones are used by the government for surveillance but many believe this is an intrusion on their civil liberties and that the first, second, third and fourth amendments are in jeopardy with the use of drones. A significant threat to aviation, pilots are concerned with job preservation. Many more point out the drawbacks to having drones flying around. Harrison describes drones as coming in a variety of sizes, as small as a dragonfly to super huge. There is no formal flight plan like there is with aircraft but a description of the mission it will be flying. They can be programmed for time in the air and when to land. “A flight plan is over 200 pages and 24 hours and, unlike planes, there is no two way communication and controllers can’t see it,” he said. There are restrictions made for their slow flying below 500 feet. As of now only authorization is required but by 2015, a flight plan will be required. “As for gathering data, if the drone is inspecting power lines and takes photos of a marijuana field, those photos cannot be used in court,” he said. The Supreme Court and other courts are still debating on what can or cannot be used in court. Case law will determine the outcome of many of these cases. For example, six cows wandered onto the neighbor’s property and the owner of the property failed to return the cows. A drone found the location of the cows and based on the data it gathered, a search warrant was issued. As for policy and privacy issues, congress dropped it into the lap of the FAA. Harrison then discussed the benefits of drones. “They will be used for land management surveillance, anti-terrorism, and there are lot of applications being applied to search and rescue,” Harrison said. “Inspection of power lines, pipelines, or if a cell tower becomes saturated, a drone can be launched like a satellite and satellites cost more than drones. Also, ranches and farms. A farmer will be able pinpoint where to water his fields or to apply pesticides by the GPS in his tractor. A rancher will be able to find breaks in his fencing.” He added that The boys’ team finished 3rd in the conference meet Conference champions were: - The boys 4x800 m relay team consisting of Andrew Sherman, Andy Guess, Austin Early, James Byram. - Deiondre Key was 1st in shot put All conference athletes: - Tyler Hartzog in 500m - Matt Reilly in the 1000m - Andrew Sherman in 1000m - Travis Moe in 1600m - Andy Guess in 1600 m - KaShawn Anderson in HJ and TJ - Dylan Garrett in PV - Matt Jonkman in PV - Jesse Van Dyke in LJ and TJ Come Zumba With Us! Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, 7 p.m. Saturday, 9 a.m. BY PAGE H. GIFFORD, CORRESPONDENT Virginia Tech is researching the use of drones in water and crop management. There are many other areas drones would be used for, including aerial photos for realtors, biologists and foresters. This would impact types of jobs available. “Even though there would be a reduction of pilots and others, there will be a need for people who can sort and analyze data,” he said. He closed by stating, “Every technology has its drawbacks associated with it but as it matures we will recognize the abuses to privacy,” he adds. www.healthnutzfitness.webs.com 434-589-6100 109 Crofton Place, Palmyra Orthodontic Care In Fluvanna Offices in Palmyra, Dillwyn & Charlottesville William G.
