A gift from Aqua Virginia
Some Lake Monticello residents
have recently received letters from
Aqua Virginia informing them that in
effect, they are or will be the owners
of the sanitary sewer grinder pump
(and pressure sewer?) that serves
their property. You will have to bear
the costs of maintenance, repair and
eventually replacement of this wonderful gift. They will also give us information as to the contractor who
will repair or replace these pumps.
As retired chief of the Fairfax
County Department of Public Works
design section, I have designed hundreds of grinder pump installations.
They are used in areas where gravity sewer service is cost prohibitive.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are
saved by using this pump and small
diameter pressure sewer instead of
20-30ft. deep trench installation of
gravity sewer and laterals in communities like ours. In Fairfax County, we
realized that it was an imposition for
property owners to have these pumps
on their lot. As such, Fairfax County
accepted responsibility for the pumps
and does so to this day.
Here’s the kicker: Fairfax County
contracts with the pump manufacturer’s subsidiary, who has the exclusive
Virginia franchise for service. What
does it cost Fairfax County? Well, from
my successor at the county, a service
call is over $800 and it could be for
a circuit breaker reset. Repairs for a
simple boot replacement with the
cost of the service call, replacement
material, electrical modifications and
labor/equipment is conservatively estimated to cost over $4,500.
They bought it! They own it! They
must maintain it!
Vicki Wilson, a resident of the lake,
located a similar lake community in
Virginia that was confronted by Aqua
Virginia with the same dilemma. I
talked with their general manager, and
he told me that Aqua Virginia backed
off when confronted with legal action from their board of directors. We
should do the same! Call, email, or attend the next Board of Directors meeting to insure that a legal response is
unanimously voted.

Lake Monticello • Across from Food Lion
I live in an area of Lake Monticello
that is currently within the Cunningham voting district with a polling location in Cunningham that is 12 miles
one way from our house.
The supervisor for this district lives
in Cunningham and seems to have a
lack of interest for his constituents
who reside at the Lake and therefore
does not consider our concerns in regards to county issues.
I was quite dismayed to learn that
the proposed 7 district plan was de-
feated by the Fluvanna Board of Supervisors with a 3 to 3 vote. A tie vote
defeats the proposal. The 5 district,
1C Option plan was subsequently approved for advertising.
I do agree that an odd number of
districts is more desirable than the
six we presently have because that
would eliminate the tie vote scenario. However, with the 5 District Plan, a
considerable amount of additional
Lake Monticello residents will now
be included within the Cunningham
district.
My concern is not the driving distance to my polling location, but the
fact that the Cunningham supervisor
is not properly representing us here at
Lake Monticello.
I would recommend you study the
new 5 district plan (www.co.fluvanna.
va.us) to see where you will be located and if you feel uncomfortable
with your situation, I encourage you
to express your concerns to the Board
of Supervisors at their next meeting
which is Wednesday, July 6 at 7 p.m.
in the County Courts Building. You
also might consider emailing supervisors Joe Chesser at: jhchesser@embarqmail.com and/or Chris Fairchild
at: Chrisf@nationalfilterservice.com.

Young folks today
I recently read Mr. Vallay’s letter
and also was frustrated by the treatment he received from a young man
driving by, as he attempted to maintain his property in neat appearance.
I sometimes question the values and
decorum of today’s young folks, but
I try and remember that it is some
(but not all) who behave so inappropriately. And as a coordinator for the
Grace & Glory Lutheran Church of an
Adopt-A-Road section on Rt. 53, I too
wonder how people (kids and adults)
can unreasonably discard trash along
the roadway and think that is OK. But
I am happy to report that, as we did a
pickup last Saturday and finished in
the heat of the morning, feeling a bit
worn and sweaty; a woman stopped
by in her car, thanked us and gave
us 10 bottles of ice cold water. It is
such random acts of kindness that
will keep us going and having confidence in the “other side” of the human race.

Lake cops acted fast
I feel I must disagree with this
reader (regarding a June 16 letter to
the editor). Contrary to feeling disgruntled I would be very appreciative
of any law officers who responded to
a 911 within five minutes of my call. I think that is very commendable. I
have a dear relative residing in Lake
Monticello and feel very assured
of her safety. As to their lengthy
questioning of the lady in distress It
would be of primary importance that
they attempt to discover her identity.
They would need to inform her family of her problem and her name to
the hospital she was being taken to. I
know if this were my relative I would
certainly wish to be informed of her
emergency situation. There is so much crime these days
that every police department is kept
very busy responding to all the many
calls. To have one as efficient as that
of Lake Monticello would be a blessing to any community. We should
all be so blessed. I am very grateful
Comments from FluvannaReview.com and Facebook
On a June 15 letter to the editor criticizing Lake police handling
of a distressed woman: Mrs. Sprouse - I really wish you would seek to
understand the situation before you sent in this letter. Having a family member with Bipolar is a heart wrenching experience. Region Ten does their best
to assist but does not always get it “right” as far as when to bring a patient
in for services.
THE LAKE MONTICELLO POLICE AND RESCUE SQUAD ARE HEROES!!! No one
was hurt in this situation. It could have ended very very differently had they
not known how to handle it.
Everyone who is blessed with a sound mind should take a minute and thank
God for that blessing and remember the families who have to deal with a
loved one who carries this burden. We do so to the best of our abilities in a
loving and compassionate way. — Sister
On a June 16 story about the Board of Supervisors voting down
the idea of seven districts representing the county: I am not surprised at the vote. Anything that would help citizens, voters, and taxpayers in the northwestern part of the County is voted down. The tie vote on
adding the seventh district is why we need seven supervisors in Fluvanna.
Anything that is a hinderance or citizens do not want i.e. trash facilities and
other industrial blight is voted for unanimously. I guess I will have to continue to travel 40 miles round trip to vote at the Palmyra Firehouse since I
go directly after work from Charlottesville to Palmyra to vote. — Concerned
Troy Resident
for the police department in my area
and pray God will keep them safe as
they put their lives on the line for us
every day.

Thank God for our police
and rescue
When a family like ours has a person with mental illness, we tend not
to speak publicly about it. However
an incident on Monday morning has
become even more distressing because of people not understanding
the situation. When a person who
is bi-polar goes manic, they can become very violent and have super
human strength. Medics and those in
charge must restrain them to protect
the individual and themselves. The
police and rescue people did what
they had to do. It was not a pleasant
job or an easy one, but it was a compassionate one.
I was getting ready to take my
daughter to Region 10. If she had
flipped out like that in the car as I
was driving, we could have been
killed. The first time this happened,
she jumped out of a moving car in
traffic on the Garden State Parkway.
It took other motorists and police to
restrain her. In Albemarle County a
few years back, they sent only two
policemen. That was even more difficult than this time.
I beg the people of this community
not to prejudge the police and rescue
people. They are heroes in our minds.
Believe me, I was thankful they were
here and here quickly.

American Legion baseball
Major League baseball? No, it isn’t.
Good baseball? Definitely!
Unfortunately few people seem
to know that the American Legion
sponsors a baseball team each year.
Fluvanna County American Legion
Post 2003 is again sponsoring a boys’
baseball team, but attendance at the
games is very low. We feel it is because the average person in the area
is not aware of this sponsorship or of
the dates and times of these games.
These games tend to be exciting as
the local team plays against teams
sponsored by other Posts from other
counties in the vicinity. Do they want
to win? You bet they do! Do they play
well? Yes they do! Do they win every
game? No they don’t! Is the game exciting? Yes it is, and win or lose good
sportsmanship is observed.
Fluvanna home games are played
at the Fluvanna County High School
baseball field located behind the
high school off Rt. 15. We would like
to see more interest in these games
from those interested in our youth.
Admission is free, refreshments are
available, and what’s a ballgame without the traditional hot dog? Come out
and see the high school youth of Fluvanna County as they play America’s
favorite game.
Games start at 7 p.m. The continuing home game schedule should be
as follows, weather permitting:
Monday, June 27 against Orange
Friday, July 1 against Staunton
Thursday, July 7 against Albemarle
Friday, July 8 against Spotsylvania
Saturday, July 9 against Courtia
The last game of the season is in
Orange on Monday, July 11.
We hope to see you there.

Fire and rescue golf
The time is here to make your
plans to play in the Lake Monticello
Fire and Rescue Golf Tournament.
The date is June 25 with two planned
shotgun starts. One at 8 a.m. and one
at 1:30 p.m. There will be a presentation of raffle ticket winners starting
at 12:30 p.m. From noon to 2 p.m.
there will be a BBQ lunch for all players. The rain date is August 13.
This is an extremely important
fundraiser for the fire and rescue
squads and the water rescue squad.
The area has grown so much over
the last few years that the number
of calls has increased and continues
to rise. The Lake Monticello rescue
squad alone has responded to over
1,700 calls in the past year and on
some days there may be as many as
10 calls. The Lake Monticello Squads
respond to calls throughout Fluvanna
County and often respond with assistance in other counties. This takes
funding and since these squads are
part of this non-profit organization
they must rely on the contributions
from the public that they support.
Even though most of us also contribute to other fund raising requests,
the request by the Lake Monticello
Fire and Rescue is one that immediately gives back to the community
and the surrounding areas. These
contributions are of course tax deductible. What greater investment
can anyone make that returns in services when the need is there. The volunteers that serve are dedicated and
well trained.
Entry forms for the tournament are
available at the Lake Monticello Golf
Club pro shop. Hole sponsors are
also encouraged. Mulligans will be
offered. There are awards for closest
to the pin on par three holes and for
drives that are closest to the center
line on the 11th hole.
Join the fun and we’ll see you on
June 25.

Carter swaps school for church
By Kristin Sancken
Correspondent
Maurice Carter will be leaving Fluvanna County schools at the end of
the summer to focus his energies on
his ministry as the head pastor of
Crystal Cathedral in Dillwyn.
Carter, who is assistant superintendent of Fluvanna schools, is a 1981
graduate of Fluvanna County High
School, where he was president of his
senior class. He attended St. Paul’s
college, a historically black college
in Lawrenceville, majoring in education. He also received his Master’s
in public administration from Ohio
State University and an endorsement
in school administration from Longwood University. He returned to Fluvanna public
schools as an assistant principal of
the high school in 1994, and became
assistant superintendent eight years
ago. “I enjoyed working with Fluvanna schools,” said Carter. “This is
where I grew up and attended school
and I wanted to be able to come back
home and to give something back.”
Growing up, Carter was motivated
by his grandmother who always told
him to “make the best better.”
“That’s something that’s always
been in my heart, even as a student
in Fluvanna schools,” said Carter.
Carter, 48, has no plans for retirement any time soon. “There’s too
much work to be done in this region,” he said. “I’ve got energy, the
Lord has blessed me with the ability
to bring people together and encourage folks. I want to continue to use
those skills.”
“There are a lot of hurting people
out in our area,” said Carter. “Our
ministry is focusing on feeding families and that’s what we’ve been doing
every week for about a year. I also
want to provide my skills in a concerted effort to help those who are
hurting – through counseling – and
who need skills to get back in the job
force, [and] to continue to help children. Helping young people is really my love, helping them with their
dreams.”
The plan is for the family to stay in
Fluvanna, and commute to Dillwyn
in Buckingham County, as Carter’s
son graduated from Fluvanna County
High School this year and his daughter is still in the Fluvanna school system. He said he feels like he’s leaving the school district in good hands,
expressing respect for the new superintendent, Gena Keller, the staff,
and the school board.
“I believe it’s a good school district,” said Carter. “I love the people
here, I love the children here, and I
still do.”

Fluvanna news briefs
Water authority litigation ends
The conflict over the legality of the charter which formed the James River
Water Authority officially came to an end on Thursday (June 16) when Fluvanna County Circuit Judge John G. Berry entered an order dismissing the action.
The formation of the joint water authority was a source of vehement conflict
between Fluvanna citizens and the Board of Supervisor members who held
office at that time. Petitions filed with the county on two occasions seeking to
have the issue placed before the voters failed because of technical anomalies.
Palmyra resident Douglas Johnson sued the board of supervisors in the circuit court seeking to prohibit the filing of the charter for the joint water authority. Since the charter had already been filed, Johnson sought the revocation of
the charter. The State Corporation Commission’s issuance of the certificate of
incorporation was appealed to the Supreme Court of Virginia. The appeal was
dismissed when the Supreme Court refused to hear the appeal on March 17,
2010.
Fluvanna County recently filed a motion to dismiss the case. The order signed
by Judge Berry, with the consent of County Attorney Frederick W. Payne and
Johnson, stated that the case is moot and dismissed the case with prejudice,
meaning the case is over and the issue forever closed. – Joe Ronan
Power lines create fire hazard
Firefighters responded to a fire hazard at Fork Union Baptist Church in
Fork Union Saturday night (June 18). Power lines, which somehow had been
damaged and had sagged, were arcing near the entry to the church, creating
sparks.
Though there was no fire the potential for fire was present. Power company
workers cut power to the lines. — David Stemple
Tucker runs for 22nd District nomination
Claudia Tucker, chairwoman of the Amherst County Board of Supervisors,
has formally announced her candidacy for the Republican nomination to run
for the State Senate in the 22nd District. The 22nd District includes all of Fluvanna County.
Tucker made her announcement Thursday night (June 16) before a crowd of
supporters at Indian Creek Bed and Stable in Lowesville. She highlighted her
experience in business and farming.
According to a press release, she said: “I think this is a fitting setting, to be
announcing my candidacy for the Virginia Senate from family enterprise in
rural Virginia that showcases an example of agribusiness,” Tucker said, who
runs a family farm with her husband Bill. “We need our next state senator to
know what it’s like to balance a checkbook and make a family budget. And we
need that person to have good, sound business sense. And I know that it takes
someone with business experience like me to create jobs.”
Five others Republicans have announced their candidacy. Republican candidates will compete in a GOP primary election slated for August 23.
Bert Dodson, Jr. A long-time member of the Lynchburg City Council, said
earlier this month he would run for the Democratic nomination for the newlycreated 22nd Virginia Senate District.
Dodson is the head of Dodson Bros., a regional pest-control firm and is touting his business experience. — Carlos Santos

Board says no to seven districts
The Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors voted down the advertised 7-district
scenario in a split vote 3-3 vote at Wednesday’s (June 15) regular board meeting.
Joe Chesser (Rivanna), Mozell Booker (Fork Union) and John Gooch (Palmyra) voted against, and Don Weaver (Cunningham), Shawn Kenney (Columbia)
and Chris Fairchild (Rivanna) voting for the 7-District scenario.
The board voted to advertise the 5-district version 1C option in a 4-2 vote
with Weaver and Fairchild voting against.
A public hearing on the new, proposed 5-district plan is scheduled for the
July 6 board meeting. – Ruthann Carr

Family in anguish over Columbia man’s disappearance
By Carlos Santos
Editor
Fluvanna County’s most perplexing mystery is Tara Mae Hourihan’s
daily nightmare.
Though she has no hard evidence,
she is convinced that her husband
Robert Lee Hourihan – missing since
April 8 – is dead and has probably
been murdered. It’s the only explanation why he has not come home to
her and their six-year-old daughter
Melody, she said.
“It’s the only way he would stay
away from us. He couldn’t stand it. I
know that with every fiber of my being.”
And she wants the murderer
found.
“Whoever is responsible, I want
justice,” she said. “Why did you destroy my entire family and leave a little girl without a father? Whoever did
it must not have a soul. They must
not have a conscience.”
Though authorities suspect something is terribly amiss, they have not
found evidence – as of earlier this
week – that any foul play was involved in Robert Hourihan’s disappearance. Lt. David R. Wells of the
Fluvanna County Sheriff’s Office said
“it’s still a suspicious missing person”
case.
By all accounts, 33-year-old Robert
Hourihan was a family man with a
good job and a close family. He doted on his wife – for whom he would
randomly leave roses in her car – and
his “daughter was his world,” his wife
said. He was close to his parents and
to his brother Mike, a Marine who
lives in North Carolina.
“He just doesn’t do this kind of
stuff,” said his mother Melinda who
with his father Rick moved from Fluvanna to Buckingham County about
10 years ago. “He even calls home
when he’s going to be late from
work.” His cell phone has not been
used since the morning of his disappearance.
Robert Lee Hourihan is about
5’8” tall and weighs over 200
pounds. He has blond hair, blue
eyes and a full beard and
mustache. He was wearing
navy blue pants and a brown
work shirt when he vanished.
Through Crime Stoppers, Rick
and Melinda Hourihan have
offered a $5,000 reward for
information leading to the
location of Robert Hourihan.
Anyone with information on
Robert Hourihan is asked to call

Fluvanna Sheriff’s Office at

Robert Hourihan was wearing his
work uniform – navy blue pants, a tshirt and a brownish work shirt that
had his nickname “Rob” stitched on
it.
Both the Hourihans had good jobs.
Rob Hourihan worked as an electrician for the state of Virginia in Richmond. He learned the trade at the
Charlottesville Albemarle Technical Education Center in Albemarle
County. Tara Hourihan is the assistant manager of the call center for
the University of Virginia Community
Credit Union in Charlottesville.
Tara Mae Colley had been best
friends with Rob Hourihan seven
years before they got married on
July 4, 1998. They went to the same
church – then Memorial Baptist – and
both graduated from Fluvanna County High School. Tara was a bit older.

Hourihan from page 8
She described her husband as both
a “family man,” and a “diamond in
the rough...his family was his world,’’
she said.
She didn’t know that when her
husband left at around 6:30 a.m. he
would vanish without explanation
or trace. “I had no idea I would never
see him again when he walked out
the door,” she said. “All I know is that
he was going to work.”
But Rob Hourihan didn’t have to
work that Friday. Why was he in his
uniform? “I have no explanation,”
said Tara Hourihan. “As far as I know
he was on his way to work.” She said
that that Fluvanna authorities know
what Hourihan “was trying to do,”
but they have not told her what that
was.
“I feel the truth will come out,”
said Tara Hourihan. “Lt. Wells has my
respect. He’s really trying to help.”
Wells said he couldn’t say why
Hourihan dressed for work that day.
“There are some things we just can’t
comment on,” he said.
Wells said the case is not in a stalemate. “It’s moving forward.” He would
not comment on whether there are
suspects in the case. “I know she
wants to know” what happened, said
Wells.
Instead of going to work, Rob Hourihan drove his car northwest to Rt.
53 where he was sighted near the
Cunningham area around 7:40 a.m.
heading toward Palmyra. Witnesses said he had breakfast at the E.W.
Thomas grocery store that morning.
He had once bagged groceries there
and was well-known in the store.
That’s the last time he was reported seen. No trace of him or the car
was found until May 28 when Maryland authorities decided to check out
a suspicious, parked car. The 2004
Chevy Cavalier, abandoned in the
parking lot of a Target department
store in La Plata, Md., turned out to
be Hourihan’s.
“It was just an officer’s hunch,’’
Diane Richardson, a spokeswoman
for the Charles County Sheriff’s Office, said about the discovery. “It was
parked on the outskirts of the parking lot. It looked out of place.”
She said that the car has been
processed for evidence though she
declined to say if any evidence was
found. Wells said the Virginia Department of Forensic Science Laboratory
Robert Hourihan’s car was found in Maryland and processed for evidence.

in Richmond has been sent material
collected from the car, but that it may
take months to get results back.
Tara Hourihan said she has not
heard if evidence was found in the
car. She knows, however, that the
trunk of the car was still filled with
Hourihan’s electrician tools – some
of them valuable. Theft was obviously not a motive.
The discovery of the car – which
bore Virginia personalized license
plates of “TARA MAE” and a Winnie
the Pooh sticker on the back window
– brought little hope to Tara Hourihan. “To me it says something horrible happened. My husband doesn’t
know a single person in Maryland
and he would never leave his car. He
loved that car. When I heard, part of
me had an awful sinking feeling that
this is not going to end well.”
Police said the car showed no readily apparent evidence of a crime.
“We’re praying it will lead to something,” said Tara Hourihan.
Rob Hourihan has a serious heart
condition which requires daily medication. His medication is still in a

Jobs and the economy top issues with Republican candidates
By Page H. Gifford
Correspondent
Jobs and the economy were the primary topic for
a mix of four Republican candidates running for the
Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors and for their
party’s nomination to run for the 22nd district state
senate seat. The 22nd district includes Fluvanna.
The candidates spoke at a Republican breakfast
held at the Ashlawn Grille on Saturday (June 18).
Most of the candidates came from rural areas nearby, including Goochland and Louisa, and one candidate who was not present, Brian Bates, comes from
Buckingham.
Chairman of the Republican Party in Virginia rallied fellow Republicans to give support for candidates for the coming election in November.
“Our liberties are at stake, our freedom is at stake.
This is about the present and the future,” said Pat Mullins. “For generations children have bettered themselves, I’m concerned whether they can do that in
this environment. I met a coal miner, who is now out
of work. His son was accepted at Virginia Tech. He
has no money now to send him there. These next two
elections will determine if we survive economically.
We have to become self reliant.” Mullins cited offshore drilling, an educated society that can compete,
taxes and the right to work issue as items that needed
to be addressed to get the economy moving again.
He closed with the following, “The 17th century
was controlled by Spain, the 18th century was controlled by France, the 19th century was controlled by
England and the 20th century by the U.S. I don’t want
to see our children’s future controlled by China.”
Robert Ullenbruch
Fluvanna Board of Supervisors candidate
Shaun Kenney, vice chairman of the Fluvanna
Board of Supervisors, introduced Robert Ullenbruch, businessman and
owner of the Palmyra
Country Store. Ullenbruch is running against
current supervisor John
Gooch, in the Palmyra
District. Ullenbruch said
he will run as a Republican, though board members generally do not run
Bob Ullenbruch
with a party affiliation.
“I chose to run as a Republican and not hide from
my conservative principles,” he said. He added that
he there are many issues to tackle, among them debt,
taxes and lack of economic development.
“There are no jobs, no opportunities for our young
people and an aging and decreasing population in
our rural areas are a major issue and jobs and economic development is a primary goal.”
Mark Peake
Tom Garrett
Candidate for the Republican nomination for the
22nd District race
Peake is a small businessman and practicing attorney for over 23 years from Lynchburg. He is a graduate of Virginia Tech and
has a law degree from
Washington and Lee. He
was a former president
of the Lynchburg Bar Association and appointed
by Governor Bob McDonnell to the Commonwealth
Transportation
Board as well as other
grass roots community
endeavors.
Mark Peake
Among Peake’s goals,
are creating jobs, cutting wasteful spending and keeping taxes low. He is
pro life and believes in limiting the scope of government.
“We do not need more regulations. For every ten
regulations there should only be one regulation. Get
government off the backs of citizens and out of the
way of small business,” he said.
Bryan Rhode
22nd District race
Rhode is from nearby Goochland and currently
serves as a prosecuting attorney for the Commonwealth’s Attorney Office in Richmond. He is also prolife and basically agrees with the other candidates
on what needs to be done regarding creating jobs,
limiting government intervention and lowering taxes
but adds that improving local infrastructure, education and job training are also key issues.
Rhode, an ex-Marine, gives his reason for throwing
his hat in the ring.
“I had worked on campaigns and many of the
people I worked with I thought would be good leaders declined to run because of work or family commitments or that politics have become ugly,” said
Rhode.

22nd District race
Candidate Tom Garrett comes from nearby Louisa
County and serves as their commonwealth’s attorney. A U.S Army veteran, Garrett grew up in
Louisa and attended the
University of Richmond.
He wants to fight high
taxes, supports the right
to work laws and the development of Virginia’s
energy resources.
“We need to un-encumber
businesses
through deregulation,”
Tom Garrett
he said. He cited examples of people he
met who own farms and businesses being choked
by government paperwork. “One man said to me ‘I
can’t belch without filling out eight pages of paper.
Farmers can’t plant crops in certain areas next to
other crops. This is the fourth branch of government
that our forefathers never envisioned — overregulated businesses.”
He is also for off-shore drilling and added, “We
have coal, God gave us these resources, let’s use
them but our current government will not allow us
to tap our natural resources to help make the U.S.
independent.”
Claudia Tucker and Brian Bates
22nd District race
The two absentees, due to other commitments,
were Claudia Tucker and Brian Bates.
Tucker is a cattle farmer, business executive and
member of the Amherst County Board of Supervisors. She supports farmers and cutting government
spending and taxes.
Bates, a teacher, comes from Buckingham County.
Bates tours his support for the Bear Garden Power
Plant in Buckingham County which led to its construction and the creation of 700 jobs at the height of
this recession. He is a 12-year member of the Buckingham Board of Supervisors.

Sts. Peter and Paul bursting as it celebrates 25th anniversary
By Kristin Sancken
Correspondent
A church is more than a building, it’s the people
who gather as a community to love and serve. For St.
Peter and Paul Catholic church in Palmyra, which is
celebrating its 25th anniversary this year, that couldn’t
be more true.
From the Lake Monticello retirees who founded the
church back in 1985 to the Cub Scout leader who just
converted to Catholicism this year after being married
to a Catholic women for over a decade, St. Peter and
Paul is a group of dedicated Catholic parishioners.
In 1985, as more and more Catholics moved to Lake
Monticello to retire from New York and northern New
Jersey, Father John Cummings – who was the pastor
at St. Joesph’s parish in Columbia – approached Mary
Luxhoj Callaghan to host the first Mass in her home
at the Lake. “I knew five Catholics in the area, so I invited them,
and afterward we had a covered dish supper,” said
Luxhoj Callaghan. “Father Cummings asked who
would like to have the next mass at their house, someone volunteered and we rotated from there.”
As the gatherings grew, the “Catholic Community of
Fluvanna”, as they called themselves, began looking
for a larger place to meet. In a stroke of luck, Luxhoj
Callaghan mentioned their need for a meeting space
to her beautician, Helen Evans, who suggested they
meet at her church, Effort Baptist.
Just a month before their first Mass at Effort, Father
Cummings died in his sleep on a vacation to Virginia
beach. The small Catholic Community of Fluvanna
was shocked to learn that he had left the group over
$70,000 dollars in his will in order that they have the
resources to continue growing.
“I was really touched by that,” said Sandra Gallaudet, chair of St. Peter and Paul’s 25th Anniversary
Committee. “That priest would give all that he had
to a nascent community; I mean there really wasn’t
much here.”
Indeed there wasn’t much to Lake Monticello at the
time. One of the founding members, Bob Margraf, described driving to Mass at Holy Comforter in Charlottesville and not passing another car on Rt. 53.
The group met for five years at Effort Baptist, every
Saturday at 5 p.m. During that time, Bishop Walter F.
Sullivan visited the mission from Richmond and celebrated Mass. It happened to be the feast day of Saints
Peter & Paul, which inspired the Bishop to name the
church Saints Peter & Paul Catholic Church. He also
encouraged them to begin looking for land to build a
church building of their own.

“Bishop Sullivan asked us to find land while it was
still cheap,” said Bill Margraf, who was in charge of
the real estate committee at the time. “I personally
knocked on every door from the Fluvanna County
line to Palmyra along Rt. 53, no one was willing to
sell. All of a sudden, on a rainy day, there was a ‘For
Sale’ sign for 31 acres. The bishop was afraid it was
too much money, I said, ‘no that’s very cheap.’”
The year was 1987, there were 30 active families in
the church, and they were able to buy the 31 acres for
$33,000. By October of 1990 their new chapel was
complete, although very simple.
“It was considered a mission church. We had to
come in under $300,000, which is why it was so bare
bones,” said Margraf. “There wasn’t even a parking
lot.”
“You faced one another and the priest was in the
middle,” said George Kuhlow, Grand Knight of Saint
Peter & Paul’s Knights of Columbus chapter. “It reminded me of the Amish.”
With its own building, the church gained the ability
to focus outward. Church member Bob Duffey started
“Food for the Poor” a program which collected food
for the Monticello Area Community Action Agency
(MACAA) food pantry. Bill Keating started a prison
ministry; Father Allen started a Haiti ministry, as well
as a “Respect Life” campaign to support pregnancies
and a “Lest We Forget” program to serve those in the
U.S. armed services.
In addition to those ministries, all of which are still
active, Saints Peter and Paul also boast the largest and
most active chapter of the Knights of Columbus (a fraternal charitable organization) and active Cub Scouts
in all of Central Virginia.
“Every year it keeps growing,” said Cub Scouts pack
leader David Seal. “We can’t recruit anymore because
we don’t have anywhere to put them.”
Although the church expanded its building again
in 2001, it had quickly grown too small for its 1,000
registered members, and nearly 500 people at each
weekly Mass.
“We are bursting at the seams,” said Gallaudet. “We
have classes in the kitchen, the offices, the hallways,
even the confessional.”
The church is currently in the midst of another capital campaign to expand yet again. Money from their
yearly yard sale, which occurs every June, as well as
from a craft fair go towards their building fund. With
this expansion they hope to not only add more sanctuary and classroom space, but also a Catholic cemetery on the property.

Terry Brown, owner and operator of
Mailbox Express stays in business because he cares about his customers. He
greets everyone by name who comes
through his door with a smile and a
“how are you today?” During the span
of one hour, 16 people walked into
the store, Brown greeted every one of
them, recalled how many came in and
what they needed. That is customer
service done right and those customers appreciate Brown’s kindness and
diligence in meeting their needs.
One customer wants the package
she is shipping to arrive in New Jersey
by Saturday. Terry doesn’t make promises but says he will do his best and
she smiles gratefully for the effort. He
gets her package for his run to the post
office at 4 p.m.
“I have been given many blessings,
great customers, fantastic employees
and they are the reason for my success,” said Brown who has two other
employees in addition to himself and
hires two extra at the busy Christmas
season.
Brown is authorized in shipping and
other mail services under USPS, the
local post office. When they are not
available, Brown can help get the mail
to where it is going. Normally, Brown
sees 50-100 people daily walk through
his door. At the holidays it can be anywhere from 150-200 people daily.
“We do drop offs for UPS and FedEx,
usually 35-40 pieces daily in volume,
an average for all the packages is normally 92 packages in one day. Naturally, we get a much higher volume of
packages at Christmas and I run out of
room in the back to store them until
I can get them to the post office,” he
said. Brown also does Saturday pickup for express services, FedEx and
UPS.
“I have customers that work in
Charlottesville but will still stop by
after work and give me their package
to send,” said Brown. “I receive large

more freight and crating services.”
Brown adds there are many things
that are not required of him or his
business but it is his business mantra
to go the extra mile.
“Community-wise, I support the local 4-H and other groups and we assist
servicemen and women overseas in
active duty and their families by providing international shipping to APO’s
and FPO’s with a discount for shipping or sometimes we’ll absorb the
cost. We assisted 200 families in shipping packages to our troops overseas.”
It is this mantra and his customer service that brings them in the door and
keeps Brown in business.

Instead of it having to be sent directly to someone at home or the office,
they can have it sent to me, and I will

the business to include printing, international shipping capabilities and

Perfect day for Timo’s Memorial 5K run/walk
By Duncan Nixon
Correspondent
The seventh annual Timo’s Memorial 5K run/walk event was held on Saturday (June 18). The weather conditions
were perfect and the field of runners
and walkers was large. Event organizer
Angell Husted reported that a record
number of participants were pre-registered for the event, and there were a
large number of, day of the event, signins, as well. In addition, Husted said
that she thought the course was in the
best groomed condition she has seen.
Registration fees and donations
raised $5,000 for the Lake Monticello
Fire and Rescue and for the Palmyra
Volunteer Fire Company.
This year the fastest runner was 28year-old Matthew Barresi, a graduate
of American University, who is now
running with the New Balance Pacers
Track Club out of the District of Columbia. Barresi completed the course in a
very impressive 16:41.
The second place finisher was last
year’s winner Caleb Haney. Haney is a
Midshipman at the Naval Academy, and
the son of Fluco cross-country coach,
Rose Brogan. Brogan served as the official time keeper for the event. The third
place finisher was Fluco cross country and track runner Chris Markham.
Haney finished the race in 18:14, while
Markham came in at 19:15.
On the women’s side, the first place
finisher was Maggie McClain. She finished with a time of 25:39. McClain
said after the race that she did not run
competitively in high school or col-

lege. However, she “just enjoys running
to stay in shape.” One of her reasons
for running in this race is that she is
Matt Wright’s girlfriend. Matt is the son
of race organizer Angell Husted and
the brother of Timo Husted Wright, in
whose memory the race is held. Second place in the female side of the race
went to eleven year old Saige Haney,
daughter of Rose Brogan. She finished
in 26:42 a mere two seconds ahead of
third place finisher, Andrea Grey.
As has become traditional with this
event, the start was preceded by a
huge Circle of Love where all the participants, spectators and race officials
and organizers join hands and form a
prayer circle in memory of
Timo Husted Wright who
died in a tragic one-car accident, while driving from
a cross country practice to
his part-time job. As usual,
the race was started by the
trumpet of Darrell Baughan,
who was Timo’s trumpet instructor. Baugham starts the
race with a rendition of the
William Tell overture.
Just before the race start,
a fire engine had to pull out
from Pleasant Grove to answer a call. Angell Husted
commented that the siren
was “a sound I hate to hear”
but, she further commented
that the event was held each
year to help fund the efforts
of those who respond to
emergency calls.
This year, in addition to
entry fees, raffle proceeds
and usual sponsor donations, Angell Husted said
that a new sponsor category
was created with sponsors
for: the race start, the one,
two and three mile markers, and the finish line. Drs.
Weiss Optometrists sponRace winner Matthew Barresi with
sored the one mile marker,
race organizer Angell Husted.
RounTop Ltd. Partners the
two mile marker, and Fork Union Animal Clinic the three mile marker. The
finish line was sponsored by Timo’s
father’s Rotary Club, the Blue Ridge
Mountain Rotary Club. This sponsorship was a surprise, in that Timo’s
father did not learn that his club had
taken on this sponsorship until the day
of the race.
Angell Husted also said that a number
of this club’s members made individual contributions to the event, as well.
The start was co-sponsored by a host
of Fluvanna Chamber of Commerce
member companies including: Angell’s

Fluvanna Farmers Market at Pleasant Grove
Spirit and Truth
By Phyllis Montellese
By the Rev. Greg Smith
Glorious weather brings crowds to market
The weather on June 12 was glorious and we had many people coming out to
the market who had been avoiding the early spring heat these last two weeks.
We had 32 vendors set up with a wonderful selection of items to sell. Produce now includes broccoli, zucchini, cucumbers, cabbages, potatoes, onions
and Swiss chard. No tomatoes yet, but I am told we should have some by the
end of the month.
Today, the line formed in front of Cricket Baked goods for fresh bread as well
as other sweet treats. Deirdre’s fudge had a table filled with fresh picked, sprayfree blueberries to eat with the chocolate.
This is a way to support your local farmers and artisans. For many, happily,
this is a part of their weekly ritual. For others, don’t forget us. We work hard to
be there and look forward to seeing you all.
Several vendors are also selling farm fresh eggs – most of the chickens are
free range and the taste is so rich, you will never want grocery store eggs again.
I know our chickens have us spoiled.
At the Fluvanna Market. You can get all the best fresh vegetables, eggs, bread
and treat and even berries. You can’t beat the taste. And while you are there,
have a cup of lemonade and maybe some BBQ: then you can browse for gifts
for yourself and others as well as plan your garden.
The Fluvanna Farmers Market is open Tuesdays, April through October from
2 p.m.-6 p.m. at Pleasant Grove on Rt. 53, approximately two miles east of the Rt. 15.

Fluvanna golf at its best
By Emil Colmenares
Volunteers needed for tutoring
The Youth Development Foundations’ Junior golf foundation is off to a great
start with manageable classes the key. All Juniors and beginners are learning with
a program that includes teaching at its finest. The learning processes are being
readily absorbed and more fun is being enjoyed by all participants. The parents
in attendance are also taking note of the lessons being given and are thereby refreshing their skills as well as becoming interested in the advantages of family
participation. The program has much to offer and so far the weather has cooperated. Students that have shown talent are being given the opportunity to improve
by playing the golf course.
A few more of our volunteers are needed to provide tutoring and supervision of
the program and any volunteer is most welcome. The opportunity is there for parents who are golfers to enhance their skills by participating in the program with
their children. A fun time is there for all to enjoy. Progress is fun to watch and who
knows who will be our next Phil Mickelson, or Ernie Els.
The Member Guest golf tournament that was played last week was the finest in
years. Cliff Altschull is to be congratulated for doing a great job. The format provided serious competition that involved all of the players and the winners barely
won by half a point. This was competition at its finest and a great time was had by
all. The weather cooperated and as the players were leaving they were greeted by
a sudden storm that sent them off with a resounding boom, The winners were the
team of Dwyer and Wolf and I’m sure they will be back to defend next year.
Mark Marshall, our Pro has shown remarkable skills in creating and having
interesting activities for all to enjoy and is encouraging new members to join us.
Remember, all Fluvanna County residents are invited as well as those from other
surrounding counties.
I hope to be playing in the near future and miss the action every day. If there is
a delay in playing, I’ll see you in the comics.

Hope to see you at the library.
On 1 June the Fluvanna Friends of
the Library held their annual staff appreciation brunch. There was a large
turnout and an unexpected pleasant
surprise. The surprise occurred when
Page Gifford, secretary of the Persimmon Tree Players presented
Linda Waller, president of
the Friends of the Library
with a check. The check
represented half of the
proceeds from the Player’s
opening night performance
of their recent play “Everyone Loves Opal.”
The Persimmon Tree
Players is Fluvanna’s own
little theatre group and they
perform two plays each
year. This year they chose
to honor the Friends of the
Library with this donation.
The Friends are most grateful for their generosity.
For many years these two
organizations have been
bringing culture and entertainment to the county and
we are very fortunate to
have them.
The brunch honored our
hard working and dedicated library staff. Our library
continues to serve our community through its services,
programs and bi-monthly
showing of movies. Once
a year the Friends like to

The serendipity of ditch weeds
From mustard to aster, Virginia
roadsides are decorated through the
growing season by fabulous ditch
weeds. As a gardener, I organize nature for the eye’s delight, planning
for repeated showy displays down
the perennial border, placing bright
color near and far to enclose space
or stretch the view. But it is hard
to beat the beauty provided by the
side of the road on a summer day.
In March, Virginia bluebells can be
seen near a stream while daffodils
and star flowers, planted by some
early settler have gone wild and line
the roadsides. When May apples appear, it is time to search for morrels
and the season has started. Dandelions and clover start the bees moving
and by May, Scotch broom pops out,
giving us a bright border and an indication of the waves of color to follow. As summer gets started in full
force, chicory, yucca, daylilies and
Queen Anne’s lace let us know that
it is hard to produce a better garden
display than the one offered by nature on a summer day.
All over the country, ditch weeds
are startling. In New England, loosestrife has invaded every ditch and
though I know it is hard to remove
and is replacing more subtle growth,
the purple beacons are glorious
none the less. In the deep South,
trumpet vine and bull thistle blaze
away while west of the Mississippi,
bouncing bette lines the roads and
sunflowers move their heads to follow the sun. Lupines, columbine and
pinks adorn the mountain states and
Indian paint brush brightens the days
in the Northwest Everything under
the sun blooms in California. Worldwide, ditches are full of flowers. In
Ireland fuscia drip over the byways
and montbretia lines the roadside.
In Italy scarlet poppies and wild tulips are so common, people sail by
smiling at the booming colors. Asia
has calla lilies and rafflesia. Australia
has cow kicks, cockies tongue and
Queen of Sheba orchids!
But you needn’t travel at all to see
a bright, changing display as here in
central Virginia we have beautiful
flowers all season long just sitting
at the side of the road. In June, Jimson weed, named after its discovery
in Jamestown, climbs high. By July,
black-eyed Susans are blooming
and in August the full heat of summer brings out golden rod and iron
weed with its 19,000 seeds/flower.
Some plants are toxic, some used
medicinally, and some are historic.
Poke berry ink was used to write the
Declaration of Independence and
Civil War soldiers used it to write
letters home. Yarrow, coreopsis, Oxeye daisy, white heath aster, Virginia
pepperweed, hairy bittercress; these
and other American natives led to a
great spurt of plant collecting in the
1700’s. Many of today’s perennials
were bred from these lowly beginnings.
Asters give us the first hint of fall
and bloom until first frost. Bittersweet carries on all the way to December. None of this is organized
or arranged, none purchased or
mulched. We garden to bring a little
order into our surroundings but the
serendipity of nature in the roadside
ditch outshines us all.

Smith preaches at Grace and Glory
Contributed by Irma Forger
The Rev. C. Douglas Smith was the
guest preacher at Grace and Glory Lutheran Church’s worship service on
Sunday, June 12, delivering the message of Pentecost. Jesus said to them
again, “Peace be with you. As the
Father has sent me, so I send you.”
When he had said this, he breathed
on them and said to them, “Receive
the Holy Spirit.” – the Gospel of John
20:21-22.
At the Christian Education hour prior to worship, Doug Smith, executive
director of Virginia Interfaith Center
for Public Policy, talked animatedly
about the work of the center. He said
the Center’s name could as well be
the “Multi-Faith Center...” for many
faiths are represented, Christians,
Jews, Muslims, Sikks, etc.
The goal of the center is to educate
people of faith on the needs of those
most vulnerable among us, and how
to address those needs through legislation, meeting with state legislators
on particular pressing issues of the
times. A recent issue has been exorbitant interest rates charged on payday
loans, making those loans impossible
to pay back for most desperate borrowers. The legislators are listening.
Christian Education hour is Sundays at 9:15 – 10 a.m., followed by
worship at 10:15 a.m. Grace and Glory
has been worshiping at the Fluvanna
County Middle School on Rt. 15, near
Carysbrook. Plans for groundbreaking
at the church property on Rt.53, opposite the Fluvanna County Library,
are under way. The Rev. Ken Albright
is pastor, (434) 531-3551; church office phone (434) 589-2217. Visit our
website: www.graceandglory.org.

The Fluvanna Aquatic Sports Team
(FAST) arrived in Charlottesville on
Wednesday (June 15) to take on the
Fry’s Spring Dolphins in the first meet
of the 2011 Jefferson Swim League
(JSL) season. This un-scored meet
gives swimmers the opportunity to
earn times and ribbons while practicing good sportsmanship. Swimming
against Fry’s Spring is always a positive
experience and the swimmers are both
friendly and fast.
FAST began the night with a pair
of wins in the 9-10 boys and girls’ relays. Even more impressive than the
wins, was the number of 7 and 8 year
olds that swam up (competed one age
group above their own) on both teams
to compete in those relays. 7 year olds
Ellie Miles and Allyson Lounsbury each
swam a 50 yard breaststroke leg while
Alexa John Hudock swam her first 50
yd. backstroke race. On the boys’ side,
8-year-old standouts Lamont Bullard
(FSBC) and Hunter Strickland (FAST)
each swam a 50 yard butterfly leg for
their respective teams. Newcomer Sophie Denby took first place in the 6 +
Under Girls 25 backstroke.
FAST also had several swimmers
achieve their first gold time standard
in the JSL. The gold time standards
are created for each individual race
and are used by the JSL to designate
the top swimmers in each event. Last
night, FAST had 6 swimmers achieve
their first gold time standard. Noah
and Ben Klipp earned a gold time in 3
events each. Six and under swimmers
Nate Klipp and Anthony Garono finished first and second in the 25 yard
freestyle each earning their first gold
time. Eight and under Owen Strickland
earned his first gold time in his 25 yard
breaststroke. Strickland just missed
gold times in the 25 yard freestyle and
25 yard backstroke as well. Abby Harlow rounded out FAST’s new gold time
swimmers with a win and a gold time
in the 25 yard breaststroke. Overall,
FAST had 28 swimmers achieve gold
time standards in the first meet of the
season.

Rivanna Resort and Golf Club hosts FUMA Celebrity Golf Classic
By Duncan Nixon
Correspondent
Some of America’s greatest sports stars showed
up at the Fork Union Military Academy (FUMA) Hall
of Fame Celebrity Golf Classic held on Friday (June
17) at the Rivanna Resort and Golf Club in Palmyra.
The beneficiary of the event was the William A.
Blair Postgraduate Scholarship Fund.
Eighteen foursomes teed up in this event, which
was a straight forward captain’s choice competi-
tion. A number of former professional football
players were on hand. Former St. Louis Cardinal
and University of Virginia football coach Sonny
Randle was on the team that finished second in the
event. Also on competing were: former Buffalo Bill
defensive lineman Ron McDole and ex-UVA and
pro linebacker Merrill Robertson.
The winning team in this competition was:
George Turner, Curtis Hathaway, Bill Price and Kent
Carter. They shot 57. Second place went to the
team of: Jim Kite, Sonny Randle, Brian Vincel and
Team of Will Cobb, Neil Stout, Jerry Trenkelbach
and Drew Perkins eagled #10.
Former pro football player Merrill Robertson and teammates Ben Paris, Butch Jefferson and D.J. Bell.

Tee Miller. They were a shot off the pace at 58. The
third place team was another shot back at 59. This
team consisted of Stevenson Clark, Chris Heath,
Grant Hayes and Ed Haislip.
Rivanna Director of Golf Daryl Daughtrey was
pleased that the event was able to be completed, as
he had to call the competitors off the course once
due to thunder storms and nearly had to do the
same a second time, as storms wandered through
the area all afternoon.

Author writes second book in series
By Page H. Gifford
Correspondent
Jane Zimmerman has written a sequel to her book Talking Leaves, featuring her teenage sleuths Erin, her
brother Dakota and best friend Audrey.
Talking Waters is similar but has a bit
more suspense with suspicious fishermen, known as the grumpy old men,
mysterious twins, and Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello. They provide some of
the clues that help the teens unravel a
mystery spanning over 100 years and
uncover an amazing archeological discovery. The suspense comes to a head
as the spying teens summer adventure
on Lake Bonita winds up with a nighttime sojourn in their kayak that leads
them to a curious discovery. We asked
Zimmerman a few questions about the
book.
What makes this book different
from the first?
I worked very hard to improve my
writing in the second book so that the
story moves faster and flows better. I do
not want the reader to be distracted by
awkward or unclear sentences. I used
an editing service (thank you Laurie
Jensen from the Details Company!)
which proved to be a wise decision.
What was your inspiration for this
book?
My goal is to encourage positive
thought and action in young adults
through storytelling.
Purchase Talking Waters at
www.patchespublishing.com
or the Palmyra Country Store
Where do you get your ideas for
characters, plot, places, etc. used
in the book?
I am inspired by our beautiful surroundings in central Virginia and my
ideas usually take shape while I am
walking my dog, Fred. I start out with
a concept that I find interesting and
build on it. Most of my ideas have roots
in the real world - I just use my imagination to twist things around to make
them more interesting for a story. I like
to have several plot lines going on at
once and I try to bring them together
through the course of the book. My
characters are my friends, so they are
with me wherever I go. I enjoy putting
them in different situations.
What were some of the drawbacks
to writing this book?
I think the challenges I have with my
writing are universal, and not specific
to any book. It is sometimes hard to get
started, hard to stay motivated, hard to
pay attention to detail and hard to edit
material you have read over and over.
Author Jane Zimmerman with Patch and Kayla.
What were some of the highlights
during writing of this book?
It is exciting and extremely gratifying to see an idea come to life in writing. When I take images and feelings
from my mind’s eye and capture them
in words, I am creating something for
others to share. That is a great feeling. When young readers tell me how
much they enjoy my books and ask me
when I’m writing the next one, it is all
worthwhile.
This is this self-published by you?
Yes. I have become a real advocate of
self-publishing, and I could talk about
it for hours. The only draw-back for me
is that I do not have much time to market my books.
Where can those interested in
purchasing the book find it?
My books are available at the Palmyra Country Store and on my website
www.patchespublishing.com
(email
me at jane@patchespublishing.com.)
They are also available online at all the
major booksellers (Amazon, Barnes &
Noble, Books-a-Million, etc...) and in
digital format for Kindle and Nook.
Are you working on another
book, creating a series with these
characters?
Yes, Talking Italian. Same characters.
I was fortunate enough to travel to Italy
with my niece this spring, and I want to
take advantage of the experience while
the details are still fresh in my mind.
Anything you would like to add?
I am surprised and pleased by the
passion I have developed for writing.
Completing a novel is a tremendous
amount of work, but if my books have
a positive influence on one person, it
is all worthwhile. The greatest compliment I received for my writing actually
came from an adult who told me that I
inspired her to start reading for the first
time in her life. When I heard that, I
knew I had to keep writing.

History: Like 76% of Americans, Jehovah’s
Witnesses are Christians and believe that
Christ died for the salvation of mankind. However, unlike most Christian denominations in our culture, they do not celebrate
holidays that have non-Christian religious
A young man conducts
origins or those that promote nationalism. a Bible study.
Jehovah’s Witnesses also have no clergy; all
baptized members are ordained ministers
and are organized into congregations of up to 200 members where a body
of elders supervises each congregation. They are a politically neutral denomination, and refuse to participate in politics. Still, they believe the Bible
commands Christians to obey the law, pay taxes and show honor to government officials as well as do good work in the community. The Palmyra
congregation was formed on May 1, 1993 when members – who are called
“publishers” – from several nearby congregations were organized to become
the nucleus of the congregation. They originally met in a rented facility on
the upper floor of the Village Station building in Palmyra. In August of 2002,
they completed the construction of the current Kingdom Hall near Central
Elementary School. For more information go to http://www.jw-media.org/.
