Thank you, thank you, whoever you
are. 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.

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.

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! Regina Kirk, Lake Monticello

Lake residents, who have not had to
call 911 for emergency medical services,
may not know that Lake police respond to
these calls whenever they can, guiding the
ambulance to the house and patient, and
frequently helping to move the patient
out of the house and helping load the cot
carrying the patient into the ambulance.
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

the We the People: The Citizen and Constitution State Finals. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.”

A local group of women, headed up
by Kim Feight and including Jamie
Devore, Angell Husted, Kamille Shifflett,
and Karen Collier, are trying to help teen
girls have a special prom night. 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

“We want to create a loving, caring and

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.

Like it sounds, “Black ice” is black and
blends in with the asphalt, making it extremely dangerous. 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.

Fluvanna High School junior Bryant
Atkins wants to build an outdoor classroom at the high school as part of his
Eagle Scout service project.
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

classroom at the high school as part of
his Eagle Scout service project.

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.

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-

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

wrote in an email. “I was especially interested in Wright’s style of writing; I was intrigued by how he was able to create such
complex yet sympathetic characters.”
Native Son sparked Gaines’ interest
in writers such as James Baldwin and
W.E.B. 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.

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

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. For
more information call 434-207-3524.

which are overcrowded. Decide the

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

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

them down. They won’t be missed and
all will look better and be healthier in the

use commercially available plastic separators. Place them where they can open
the space between the weeping branches. I sometimes lie under the tree and
remove branches which can’t compete
for sunlight and I stake one of the top
most branches to lift the new growth
several inches.
I have a row of willows which I prune
at a certain height so that the new
growth will spurt 8 – 10 feet from the cut
and screen out an unwanted view. 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.

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

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.

with a mini-run and held a five point
lead at 31-26 halfway through the
quarter. 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.

District Oratorical Chair Joanne Addotta with contestants Sierra Weaver, Hannah Corbin, Emily Underwood, Jonathan Corbin,
Jonathan Thrasher, and District Commander Ray McCoy.
Jonathan Corbin, a sophomore at
Fluvanna High School, won the closely
contested 13th District American Legion
High School Oratorical Scholarship held
on Jan. 26. Corbin’s presentation on
“Apathy: America’s Deadliest Disease”
bested four other presenters. He moves
on to the regional competition against
four other contestants.
The purpose of The American Legion’s
National High School Oratorical Contest
program – a Constitutional speech
contest – is to develop a deeper knowledge and appreciation of the Constitution of the United States on the part of
high school students. Other objectives of
the contest include the development of
leadership qualities, the ability to think
and speak clearly and intelligently, and
the preparation for acceptance of the
duties, responsibilities, rights and privileges of American citizenship.
The ten minute prepared oration is on
the Constitution of the United States that
gives emphasis to the attendant duties
and obligations of a citizen and is selected by the participant. The speaker also
speaks on one of four topics related to
specific Articles of the Constitution.
The District Contest was hosted by the
Fluvanna County American Legion Post
at the Lake Christian Church in Palmyra.
The District is comprised of posts that
run from Madison to Charlottesville and
east to Mechanicsville. Other contestants included Emily Underwood, placing
second with her speech “We the people,
are we healthy?” Third place award went
to Hannah Corbin with her speech “Let
Freedom Ring!” Fourth place was awarded
to Jonathan Thrasher with his speech “The
Duties and Responsibilities of a U.S. Citizen
under the Constitution.” Fifth place award
went to Sierra Weaver with her speech “1st
& 2nd amendments to the Constitution.”

Drones Discussed
The room was packed with people
from Lake Monticello attending a special
program on drones presented by current
Lake Monticello Board Director Mike
Harrison. 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

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.

BUYERS ADJUST YOUR NEGOTIATING EXPECTATIONS:
lowball offers may be off the table in this new environment.
Respond to counteroffers quickly to keep other buyers out of
the picture. Have a few alternative homes in mind in case you
do get into a bidding war and the price gets to high and you
want to walk away.
