The Board held a meeting at 5:30 p.m. to talk about the fiscal year 2018 (FY18) budget proposal and dedicated time at 7 p.m. to hear from the community about what it wants in a new superintendent. Gena Keller, who was Fluvanna’s superintendent for seven years, began 434-589-9280 r 733 S Boston Rd, Palmyra, VA 22963 Child Care Provided Lake Christian Church For more Information: [email protected] or to 9 Week Classes Begin February 12th 5 pm the middle school, upping the coaching stipend, increasing the amount insured can put into health savings accounts, and offering comprehensive rather than just preventative dental coverage. Winkler said while most others’ healthcare costs rose, Fluvanna schools’ has not. “Health care costs based on our claims have dropped,” he said. He suggested the savings be used to bring down the monthly cost of the insured by $10. The Board will vote on the final budget at its Feb. 8 meeting. They will present their request to the Board of Supervisors on Feb. 15. e di Financial Peace University Seminar working in January for the Virginia Department of Education. Then-assistant superintendent Chuck Winkler stepped up to fill the job in the interim. Winkler made it clear he wants the job permanently. The Board has until July 1 to decide and said it wants input from the public. First, the Board requested that people fill out an online survey about what qualities a superintendent should have. That survey is now closed. More than 200 people responded, the schools said. Next, Board members asked the public to speak to them in person at Wednesday’s meeting. Jimmy Koczan, a teacher, was the only person who came to speak. “I’m here to voice my strong support for Mr. Winkler,” Koczan said. “He was part of the team who got us through that awful time six years ago when we faced a 12 percent budget cut. It’s no accident we made the strides we’ve made over the past years. There is no question he knows where we’ve been, where we are and where we’re going. We can’t afford stagnation… He’s a straight shooter. We’ve spent six years building this relationship. Unless there is a law requiring a search, what are we searching for?” Board member Charles Rittenhouse said he expected a larger turnout. “I was hoping for a big crowd in support of Mr. Winkler,” said Rittenhouse, adding he had several calls from school employees supporting Winkler. During the budget presentation, Winkler gave details on the proposed FY18 budget. The FY17 budget is $38,771,124. Winkler suggested the Board request $472,292 more for FY18. He recommended the money be spent on increases to one of the two salary scales, adding an exploratory teacher at Thank you for gerrymandering article I’m sending out a big thank you for doing the Feb. 2 cover story on our issue of gerrymandering.

Currently the equalized real estate tax rate is 88.2 cents per $100 valuation. Nichols’ proposed budget sets the tax rate at 91.5 cents. But if he had funded all the budget requests that came his way, the tax rate would have ballooned to 99 cents, he said. Nichols’ proposed budget is $73.2 million, compared to last year’s budget of $80 million. The difference is due to a nearly $9 million reduction in spending on capital projects, Nichols said. “Difficult decisions [were] made to recommend only a few essential capital items for funding this year,” said Nichols. Most projects were pushed off to later years. The reduction is partially offset by recommended funding increases. The E911 radio project has a $1.1 million increase in debt service coming due in FY18. Nichols is also recommending a $477,000 increase in public safety spending, a $176,000 increase in health and welfare for social services and CSA, which provides services to at-risk youth, and a $300,000 increase in funding for the public schools. Nichols noted that the schools have not yet formally presented their budget request to supervisors. “There are no pockets of fat in department budgets…because we’ve stripped them down as lean as we could possibly get them, unless we start cutting programs and personnel,” Nichols said. To advertise call: 434.207.0222 Fluvanna’s recent population levels have remained flat. “We have a county that isn’t growing like it used to,” Nichols said. “As the Lake Monticello build-out was happening over the last 20 years we went up [in population] catastrophically…but we’ve gone up about 400 [people] since the 2010 census.” As county administrator, Nichols prepares a recommended budget for supervisors to consider at the beginning of budget season in February. Supervisors will spend the next two months listening to presentations from constitutional officers, agencies and nonprofits as they all attempt to persuade the Board to fund their programs. They will also meet numerous times to discuss and debate the specifics of the “I don’t think it’s a good idea to put even less diversity into the tax base by giving businesses a tax break.” -- Supervisor Tony O’Brien budget. Supervisors are scheduled to pass the final budget and tax rates on April 12. The proposed budget includes a dramatic slash in the business personal property tax rate. In the past Fluvanna has not distinguished between personal property and business personal property when assessing taxes. The current rate is $4.35 per $100 valuation. That number puts Fluvanna above its neighbors – most notably Louisa County, which has a business personal property tax rate of $1.90 per $100 valuation – and may dissuade potential businesses from locating in Fluvanna. Supervisors have recently expressed interest in lowering the business personal property tax rate so as to appear more competitive. Nichols’ budget slashes that rate, and the rate for public utility personal property tax, to $1.89 per $100 valuation. “It would make us the lowest in the region,” Nichols said. He also recommended cutting the machinery and tools tax rate from $2 per $100 valuation to $1.89. Supervisors have repeatedly expressed their desire to lower the business personal property tax rate in a revenue-neutral way. Nichols has suggested updating the way business personal property tax is assessed to bring it more in line with how Fluvanna’s neighbors assess the tax. If certain changes are made, the rate slash would not result in lower revenue collection. But though supervisors set tax rates, they do not determine the mechanics of how business personal property tax is assessed. That job falls to Commissioner of Revenue Mel Sheridan, who as of that meeting had not conveyed a desire to change how he assesses taxes. The way it stands right now, therefore, the proposed tax slash results in a tax cut for businesses to the tune of about $200,000. The situation has created tension. In recent years supervisors have tried to build more diversity into the tax base. They hope to increase the money received through business taxes so that they may depend less upon taxes paid by homeowners. After the meeting Supervisor Tony O’Brien said, “I don’t think it’s a good idea to put even less diversity into the tax base by giving businesses a tax break.” Sheridan did not return requests for comment on whether he is planning to change the way business personal property is assessed. “Disturbing” supervisor comments addressed BY CHRISTINA DIMEO EDITOR A passionate discussion about how a certain chunk of money was spent dominated part of the Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors meeting Wednesday afternoon (Feb. 1). Comments made by Supervisor Trish Eager in a recent Fluvanna Review story dismayed Supervisors Mozell Booker and Tony O’Brien to the point that they decided to address them publicly. In the Jan. 19 issue, the Fluvanna Review asked the five supervisors to outline their top two priorities for the county in 2017. Eager said in part: “In fiscal year 2016 (FY16) there was a budget surplus of $1.679 million. The money could have been used to pay down debt or lower taxes, but half a million of it was requested and approved for different things, such as contract and professional services and capital purchases. Don Weaver and I voted against this request. We’re going to need to be borrowing money to pay for our public safety radio system and probably for the water project from the prison, and that’s why it’s my hope that the county will be more careful managing your money.” At the meeting Booker voiced her concerns about Eager’s comments. “My constituents think that we just tossed [the leftover money] at projects,” Booker said. “I want to refresh how we used the $1.6 million.” Surplus The county ended FY16 with $1.669 million in unspent money remaining, County Administrator Steve Nichols said, but part of that included state matching funds that never materialized since the county didn’t spend the full expected amount. The actual amount of leftover money was $1.376 million. The fact that there would be money left over was mostly unforeseeable, Nichols said. Personnel vacancies made up $410,000 of the savings, most notably in social services, which accounted for $267,000 of that total. Purchase of services for CSA, which serves at-risk youth and is notoriously difficult to predict financially, came in $310,000 under final budget. Timing issues caused a $230,000 county contribution to the James River Water Authority to be made the following fiscal year rather than the year in which it was budgeted.

Judge Margaret Cole Spencer, a substitute judge from Richmond, released Lenherr on a $500 personal recognizance bond. Lenherr is due back in court March 13. If convicted of the first class misdemeanor, Lenherr faces up to one year in jail and up to a $2,500 fine. According to court records that state the prosecution’s case against her, Lenherr cost the county $33,240 by waiving taxes, penalties and interest in an April 16, 2015 sale of two properties to her son Michael Lenherr’s construction company, MCL Construction, Inc. Court records claim that Lenherr talked via email with county tax attorney Anthony Paone, who handles the collection of the county’s delinquent taxes. Paone was selling the properties for back taxes totaling $33,240, according to court documents. An online property map shows MCL Construction, Inc. was deeded two properties on June 30, 2015 – a two-acre lot at 3249 Mountain Hill Road (sold for $8,000; assessed at $35,000) and a halfacre lot with a home on it at 1326 W. River Road (sold for $5,000; assessed at $100,900). Two months prior on the eve of the April 16, 2015 property auction, Lenherr asked Paone in an email, “What is the least that this would go for and judge would approve sale?” Paone answered, “The court would likely approve $18,000 or so but that would likely leave some penalties and interest unpaid,” according to the case’s criminal information document. At the auction the next day, only one bidder showed up and offered $13,000 for both properties. “Despite this low turnout at the sale and the remarkable low bid tendered and accepted, Paone urged this court to validate that April 16 sale and order transfer of the properties to MCL Construction, Inc.” on June 30, 2015, according to court records. “Paone expressly noted that ‘it is the desire of the Fluvanna County treasurer to have the court approve the sale.’” A year earlier, five people bid on one of the properties. The highest bid was $16,000. “After several months of delay, the sale was invalidated because, according to Paone, the sale price was not sufficient to pay the taxes owing on the property of approximately $18,000,” according to the charging document. A year later, a bid $3,000 less seemed to satisfy Paone. “Neither the defendant [Lenherr] nor Paone brought to the attention of the public or to the court the nature and effect of their private email exchanges and other conversations, which effect was to enrich Michael C. Lenherr…at the expense of the taxpayers of Fluvanna County and other creditors,” according to the charging document. Lenherr declined to comment on her case. County Attorney Fred Payne said that part of the treasurer’s job is to decide when to sell properties for delinquent taxes. If a property is unlikely to fetch at auction the amount needed to cover the back taxes, the treasurer must decide whether it is more beneficial to the county to foreclose on the property anyway – and recoup at least some money for the county – or refrain from foreclosure and allow the property to continue to accrue more tax debt. For that reason, Payne said, it is common for a treasurer to be in touch with a county tax attorney about how much properties are likely to fetch at auction. “A tax attorney and treasurer are constantly in contact,” he said. Payne said that treasurers do not waive taxes. Delinquent taxes create a lien on a piece of property. When the property is sold for back taxes, the lien is discharged. “That’s routine. It’s not a matter of discretion with the treasurer,” Payne said. If the property wasn’t sold for enough money to cover the back taxes, the former owner – not the new owner – carries the responsibility to pay the difference, Payne said. The county may decide not to pursue collection of the remainder – if, for example, the person owing the taxes has died and has no family – but the remainder is not waived, he said. A property may be offered at auction more than once, Payne said. “It’s offered for sale once and it brings a price that the attorney believes is inadequate,” Payne explained. “He can offer it for auction again and if he gets another offer, he may be convinced he’s not going to get anything more than that. That attorney is the decision maker here.” Fluvanna Commonwealth’s Attorney Jeff Haislip filled out papers to have a special prosecutor handle the case. Haislip said when the state police contacted him last year about an investigation into one of Fluvanna’s constitutional officers, he knew he needed to recuse himself. His recusal was based on the fact that he, too, is one of Fluvanna’s five constitutional officers. He said he also is a step-cousin of Lenherr. Fluvanna Circuit Judge Richard Moore also recused himself, stating “the defendant in this case is an elected constitutional officer in Fluvanna County where I regularly preside, and further that a major part and potential material witness is an attorney who appears regularly before me and who I have appointed or referred matters to in various capacities.” Lenherr has worked for Fluvanna County for 45 years, 33 of those as treasurer. Her current salary is $96,932.04. To advertise email: [email protected] Join the Chamber! Paid advertising by the Fluvanna County Chamber of Commerce 177 Main Street P.O.

Greene County comes in the lowest with 40.9 bookings per 1,000 residents in a four-year average spanning 20122015, said Neal Goodloe, criminal justice planner. Fluvanna is next with 42.1 bookings. Madison is higher with 50.2 bookings, then Orange with 62. Louisa has the highest percentage of bookings per population with 65. Fluvanna has seen reductions in its felony bookings since 2013 based on data that runs through the end of 2015 – the most recent year for which data is available, said Goodloe. Fluvanna books more people for felonies than it does for misdemeanors. That is good news, said Goodloe, because it means that the Fluvanna residents in jail are “the ones who really need to be there.” The county also boasted the lowest per capita rate of bookings for felony drug crimes in the five-county jurisdiction for 2015, Goodloe said. About 22 bookings occurred that year compared to about 215 for Orange and Louisa each. er my Can I deduct If I volunteer, can How can I low I deduct driving mil my Selftaxes? eage? Employment taxes?

Fluvanna has the lowest bookings for sex offenses out of the five counties, with not even one booking per 1,000 residents over a four-year booking average compared to over five for Louisa, Goodloe said. It was unclear, however, whether this means that Fluvanna residents aren’t committing sex crimes or whether they are simply not being caught. The African American population in jail is dropping “year after year,” Goodloe said, while the Caucasian population is holding steady. There are also significant increases in the number of female offenders, which Goodloe said is “a fairly well documented but poorly understood phenomenon that’s taking place all over the country.” Goodloe said that Fluvanna residents who end up in CVRJ share the same top three offenses as those from the other four counties that feed into the jail, as well as offenders from Albemarle and Charlottesville. Those three offenses are property felonies (28.9 percent of Fluvanna’s bookings), traffic misdemeanors (17.4 percent), and violation of a court order (15.1 percent). In comparison, the next most common charge in Fluvanna bookings is violent felony, which comprises 5.8 percent of CHARLES W.

In fiscal year 2017 (FY17) Fluvanna paid $987,000 toward CVRJ, Goodloe said. Robert Johnson, Region Ten executive director, told supervisors that his organization served 938 Fluvanna residents during FY16 at a total annual cost of $2.2 million. By contrast, Fluvanna’s FY17 contribution to Region Ten was $126,000. “That is an excellent return on your investment,” Johnson said. Region Ten has seen a 32 percent increase in Fluvanna residents using substance use disorder services in FY16. Every county is seeing that sort of increase, Johnson said, largely due to a “noteworthy” increase in opiate use. “We’re all sharing a pretty tough intractable problem,” he said. Marty Brookhart, management analyst, delivered the FY17 second quarter budget report to supervisors. Halfway through the year, the county hopes to see about 50 percent of its budget spent, Brookhart said. Since county government to date has spent about 48.5 percent of its FY17 budget, the county is “pretty much right on track for where we should be,” Brookhart said. Money set aside to pay County Attor- Farm Fresh ney Fred Payne looks like it will be overexpended by about $80,000 to $100,000 by the end of FY17, Brookhart said. Supervisors will need to make a supplemental appropriation to cover the difference. County Administrator Steve Nichols said that he received a letter from the Fluvanna Historical Society requesting a final answer on where supervisors wish to place a forthcoming Emancipation Proclamation monument. Absent any Board decision by March 31, the historical society said it would place the monument on its own property at Maggie’s House in Palmyra. Supervisor Mozell Booker, who has championed having the monument alongside a Confederate memorial at Civil War Park in Palmyra, said that she is still waiting on an opinion from the attorney general as to the legality of placing the monument in the park. She said she has been in touch with the historical society about the possibility of placing the monument at Dunbar school, which is a Rosenwald school in Palmyra that she said is in the process of being turned into an African American museum and community center. Booker said she would speak with the historical society’s Board of Directors at Zion Crossroads Open Daily • Lunch and Dinner • 10:00 a.m. – 9:00 p.m. We Cater Your Perfect Meal in Three Easy Steps!

VDOT is still in the process of following up on that study to determine ways to improve safety, Saunders said.

ON OUR RIGHTS... Paid Advertisement The President of the United States is “repulsive …, a gross hypocrite and an unprincipled oppressor” and his administration is “malignant.” On those published words, James Callender was convicted, jailed and fined under the Sedition Act of 1798. The Sedition Act made it a Federal crime for any person to write or print or even say anything “false and scandalous” against the government or the President of the United States with the intent to bring either into “contempt or disrepute.” The Sedition Act was the product of a notoriously “prickly” and, at times, “unhinged,” Federalist party President (who was prone to mistake his Electoral College “mandate” as an apparent elevation to nobility), a Federalist party controlled Senate, a Federalist party controlled House of Representatives, and a Federalist party “packed” Judiciary. The Act’s intent was to muzzle the free press, stifle free speech, and squelch public dissent. Due to the Sedition Act (and the Naturalization Act of 1798 which made it harder for immigrants to enter and become citizens, and the Alien Friends Act of 1798 which gave the President power to deport or imprison resident aliens he considered to be “dangerous”) the People’s outrage and opposition to the Federalist party swelled. The press, exercising the rights guaranteed to the People by the First Amendment, was the spear-point of that opposition. Thomas Jefferson and the Democratic-Republican party swept the Federalists from power in the contentious election of 1800. The Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States who had presided at the trial of James Callender was impeached and barely escaped conviction in the Senate on charges of “blatant partisanship.” Those who had been convicted under the Act were pardoned and their fines reimbursed by a chastened Congress. The legacies of this episode in the evolution of our rights were: 1. Constitutional changes to the Electoral system; 2. Acceptance by most future Presidents that the trust of public office extended to all the People, including those who disagreed; Kid Menu Available Taco Tuesdays - Any Taco $2 Zion Crossroads • 540-406-5105 69 Freedom Dr, Gordonsville, VA. 22942 In front of Lowe’s and next to Dunkin Donuts Crozet location: 540 Radford Ln, C-ville, VA • 434-812-2152 To advertise call: 434.207.0222 and have a preference in mind by the time supervisors take up the subject at their March 15 meeting.

Gallo Feb. 9, 2017 | FLUVANNA REVIEW | 11 Couple shares traveling tips BY PAGE H. GIFFORD CORRESPONDENT Sue Mink in York, England. Photo courtesy of Sue and Al Mink For Sue and Al Mink, traveling is not just another trip but a cultural experience. They call Lake Monticello home but they hang their hat in other places every three months during the year. Currently they are in Panama. “People often ask us, ‘How do you do it?’” said Sue Mink, who explained how she and her husband afford the lifestyle that some who have a passion for travel only dream of. They recently started a blog discussing the strategies they use for getting away from it all. “We’ve always been adventurous. We moved frequently with the Air Force and soon learned that we can make anywhere a home as long as we are together,” said Mink. “We have explored much of Europe and have taken major trips to Central America, Russia, Ukraine, China and Japan. Each time we traveled, we discovered wonderful places, but only really got a taste of any one location. We wondered what it would be like to actually live in these beautiful or exotic settings instead of just visiting them.” Mink described how she and her husband took their dreams and made them a reality. It was after Sue’s mother was diagnosed with a terrible disease and died relatively young. As they were driving home from her funeral, they realized that their time could be much shorter than they had always thought. “We were working very hard and planning for tomorrows that were not guaranteed,” Mink said. They decided to live six months of the year at home and six months in other locations. Their goal was to be in each of the locations that they chose long enough to get a real feel for the place, its people and its culture. Naturally, they visit the tourist attractions but don’t rush through them. Instead, they visit several times and attend local events, festivals and other activities. “Of course the first question is, ‘How can you afford this?’” Mink said. “We have been blessed, but we’ve also worked very hard throughout our lives. Al retired as a colonel in the Air Force, so we have military retirement and the health care that goes with it.” They also have savings and investments, including rental properties, plus income from his consulting and her writing. “We are also frugal people. We’re not interested in designer clothing, fancy cars or the latest gadgets. With careful management, we’re finding that this lifestyle is possible.” To do this they travel off season, avoiding summer and holidays. Traveling during the off-peak times usually makes it easier to negotiate a lower rate for a long-term rental flat, Mink said. “This is because the landlord knows that he or she will have a guaranteed income during the entire slow season and will be happier to work with you. The offpeak travel times vary due to location, but usually they are in early spring and late fall, so that’s when we tend to plan our travel.” Transportation is a consideration when the Minks choose a location. This usually means a city location but she cautioned that the cost of city living is more expensive and the environment is noisier. “We’ve generally avoided the very centers of the tourist areas for several reasons. First off, they are usually the most expensive accommodations you can find for a short-term rental. Secondly, because it’s often the area with entertainment, nightclubs and bars, it can be noisy at night, making it difficult to sleep,” she said. “Each city is different, but we generally try to look for an upper class residential area that is walkable to the city center or is conveniently served by public transportation.” They have used HomeAway.com and Airbnb to begin their search for longterm rentals. Mink says it’s a good place to get an idea of the cost, the locations that are available, and the services and fees that are usual for the area, as these Professional Tax Returns ime? ave More T H u o Y k in h T Call Now and Let’s Get Started • FREE Electronic Filing with Tax preparation • Reasonable fees • Extended office hours • Tax Planning for Individuals & Small Businesses • Payroll & Bookkeeping services • Refer a Friend for extra savings Melissa Butler Inc. dba Justin G.

If you find places that look as though they will work for you, message more than one of them,” she said. When it comes to negotiating the terms of the rental, the Minks admit they have gotten as much as a 25 percent discount by asking. They encourage people to ask for a better deal. “Don’t be shy negotiating – this is the part of the process where you can save the most money. If they won’t negotiate, move on,” she said. Once they arrive, they look for activities and events within the community. Mink found a knitting group through the local yarn shop while her husband found biking clubs through the local bike store. They discover lectures on history and art through museums and libraries, provided they are in English. They ask the locals for the location of hidden notable landmarks worth exploring. “We loved York because it was very accessible with the language, the people were warm and welcoming, and the city was very charming. It had lots of little secrets that you find out as you live there. For instance, there are little hidden cat sculptures all over the city on the walls and light posts – it took me nearly two months to notice them. There are wonderful little events like teas and little fairs that anyone can attend,” Mink said. “Florence was spectacular – the art was everywhere and overwhelming and the food was incredible. It was crowded and crazy but that was part of the fun. I also loved the street signs. There’s an artist who lives in Florence who changes the street signs into art – they’re wonderful,” she said. What struck Mink about most places she visited is that she couldn’t help but learn more of the history since it surrounded her everywhere she went. “In a more cosmic sense, we learned to slow down and take things in,” Mink said. “Even in busy Florence, people live at a slower pace. We’ve learned to open ourselves up to new experiences and not be afraid to try new things. We also learned to be bolder, introduce ourselves and make the first move to meet people.” Sweethear t Specials ~ Cakes for 2 ~ Fresh in-store made from scratch! • Flourless Chocolate Cake w/Raspberry Fudge Sauce . . . . . . . . . . $7 $$7.00 7 7.00 • Conversation Heart Vanilla Cake (Heart Shaped w/ hand piped message on top) We Do Plumbing and Electrical Work! w/Vanilla Buttercream Icing . . . . . . . . . $5.00 • Conversation Heart Red Velvet Cake (Heart Shaped w/ hand piped message on top) w/Cream Cheese Icing. . . . . . . . . . . . . $6.50 • Cheesecake w/conversation hearts . . . . $5.50 • Chocolate Covered Strawberry Cheesecake w/Chocolate Graham Cracker Crust . . . . . $6.50 On Rt. 53 Monday-Friday 6 AM-6 PM Sat. 8 AM-5 PM • Sun. - Closed Order Early 434-297-2201 [email protected] To advertise email: [email protected] Fall In Love With These Homes One of the main differences between America and other places Mink has visited is that European cities were built before cars, so there’s no room for parking or for cars passing on the street. As a result, they are not allowed. “And that’s wonderful – people walk everywhere. I think that might be why they are fit,” she said. “One of the great things in England is that there are pathways all over the country that anyone can walk on, through private land, but you can walk anywhere because of them. They go through backyards, cow fields, gardens – if they are there, landowners can’t keep people off of them. They are well-marked and safe, and allow you to walk anywhere you’d like to go.” In Italy, the people were generally warm and happy, Mink said, but took their work and crafts seriously. When they ordered a meal in an authentic Italian restaurant, not a tourist place, they didn’t dare ask for an ingredient to be left out or for the food to be cooked differently. “They have real respect for the integrity of the food, and they would politely suggest you order something different because they had crafted the food to taste the very best the way they made it,” Mink said. “They were the same way about other things – they approach their work as art, with a true respect for the product, the process.” Mink said she hears excuses for why some would like to do what they do, but don’t. Most often people cite leaving pets, missing their friends and relatives, and the cost of travel. “I think the biggest thing is just to decide you’ve got one shot in life, this is what you want, you’re going to do it and then go ahead. The worst that can happen is that you go to a place you don’t like and you come home early,” she said. “There are a lot of details to figure out – how do you get your mail, what to pack, et cetera, but we’re working on a blog that will include that information.” She also suggested a website called Digital Nomads –another name for people who work all over the world – that offers a lot of suggestions. “It helps match you to places you might like, offers suggestions on some of the mundane questions like visas and shots and such, and helps you connect with a community once you get to where you’re going,” she said. “It was scary at first to do this – and quite honestly, each time we pack to go, we look at each other and ask if we really want to do this. It’s a lot easier just to stay home. But our lives are so much richer, so much fuller for this, and once we get to our new temporary home, we’re so glad we’re there. By the time it’s time to leave, it’s bittersweet to say goodbye,” she said.

They may have expected to coast to another easy win, but they would have been wrong. The Fluco girls under Coach Chad White have been getting better and better as the year has progressed. The Black Knights were fortunate on Tuesday (Jan. 31) to eke out a four point win with a score of 56-52. Charlottesville opened the game strong with a couple of three-point shots and several inside lay-ups. The Black Knights led early by nine points at 14-5. Late in the quarter, Fluco senior guard Chaniya Brown drained a three-point shot and freshman guard Nevaeh Ivory scored on a rebound to reduce Charlottesville’s lead to five at the end of the quarter. The Flucos also had a basket in the quarter by junior center Jemika Johnson on a clever feed from freshman guard Jules Shepherd, and a short jump shot by freshman forward Mya Wright. The second quarter was a back and forth affair with the Black Knights, who continued to lead by four to six points. Brown led the Flucos with eight in the quarter on two three-pointers and a lay-up after a steal and a coast to coast drive. Wright and Ivory also scored baskets in the quarter. Charlottesville opened its lead to nine on a last second heave from just inside mid-court for three points. The score at the half was Charlottesville 33, Fluvanna 24. The third quarter was all Fluvanna. Ivory opened the quarter with a threepoint shot off a well-executed set play. It was the first of her three three-pointers in the quarter. The Flucos fought back throughout the quarter. With two minutes left, Wright hit a jump shot to tie the score at 37-37, and Ivory quickly fol- Photos courtesy of Derek Hammond lowed with a three-point basket to give the Flucos a 40-37 lead. The Flucos got a free throw from Brown for a four-point lead. The quarter ended with Charlottesville nailing two free throws for a score of Fluvanna 41, Charlottesville 39. Unfortunately for the Flucos, the Black Knights came out strong in the fourth quarter and they ran off nine straight points to jump back into the lead by seven. The Flucos were on their heels, but they fought back. As is often the case, the fourth quarter saw a lot of free throw shooting. The Flucos did miss the front end of one and ones on two occasions, but senior forward Darrah Martin and Brown both made two crucial free throws under pressure. With a minute remaining, Ivory nailed her fourth three- Smoke-Free Smoke S Sm o e-Free ok Free Let’s Hear You Sing!! L pointer of the game to cut the Black Knights’ lead to one at 53-52. With 42 seconds remaining, the Black Knights converted on two free throws to take a three-point lead. The final seconds were a wild scramble as the Flucos got off a three-point shot and then rebounded and passed out for another three attempts but could not get the ball to drop. The Black Knights finally got possession and with three seconds remaining they made one of two free throws for the final four-point margin. Ivory led the Flucos in scoring with 18, while Brown had 16. Wright and Martin each had six and Johnson five. Ivory also had eight rebounds. After the game, White was clearly pleased with the battle his team put up. He compli- mented Johnson for her hard play inside, as she worked hard on defense and on the boards. Also, he noted that although Shepherd did not score she handled the ball extremely well against the Black Knights’ pressure. It was a bold decision by White to move Shepherd into the starting line-up at point guard to allow Ivory to spend more time looking for her shot. The strategy worked, as Shepherd handled the ball well and Ivory led the team in scoring. The girls played their final regular season game on Feb. 3 at Powhatan High. The District play-offs run from Feb. 6 to Feb 10. The Conference playoffs are scheduled for Feb. 14 through Feb. 17. Paint n Sip HOT WING Join Competition Us...

About $95,000 less than expected was spent on correction and detention. Those numbers total $1.165 million. The $211,000 difference came from miscellaneous savings, Nichols said. Nichols then reminded supervisors what they had done with the $1.376 million. In some cases, supervisors chose not to tell various county departments that because their projects remained unfinished at the end of FY16, they were out of luck. Rather, they voted at their Oct. 19, 2016 meeting to allow certain departments to carry over $174,000 into the next year to be spent on already approved projects, such as security upgrades. Supervisors also chose to spend $303,000 of the surplus on certain capital improvements plan (CIP) projects. That number included $125,000 for modules and training for the county’s financial management software, $98,000 to pave the portion of the Pleasant Grove road that runs to the ballfields, $50,000 for the purchase of a mini-excavator, and $30,000 for facility security upgrades. The Board then voted to return the remainder, or $900,000, of the surplus to the county’s fund balance. Discussion “I think it needs to be real clear to the public that we did not just scrounge $1.6 million to throw it at frivolous things,” Booker said at the meeting. “I was particularly disturbed by that,” O’Brien said. “The implication was that the Board was not being very diligent and vigilant of the taxpayers’ dollars… It implied that county staff was not doing a good job as well. I was really disappointed to see that statement made.” O’Brien went on to say, “Returning $900,000 out of [FY16’s budget of] $80 million is a 1 percent differential on the budget, and I think if the county is able to budget within 1 percent, they’re doing an outstanding job.” Offering Peace of Mind FLUVANNA CRIME LOG Nichols referred to the portion of Eager’s comments that said the surplus could have been used to lower taxes. “There’s not a chance in even a parallel universe that you could have cut the tax rate by $1.6 million last year, because you can’t foresee some of these types of things. It’s just the wrong argument,” he said. “When you look at these categories…were we supposed to budget $410,000 less for personnel? We budget based on the valid positions [at the time].” When an expense doesn’t occur as planned, “We still have to account for that item,” said Nichols. “If you didn’t account for that money and then the cost came up, then everybody in the county would be looking at the county administrator, saying ‘Why didn’t you know about that cost?’” The term “one-time dollars” refers to money that materializes in a way that cannot reasonably be expected to happen again. For example, just because the county had several personnel vacancies and saved $410,000, it can’t plan on not needing that $410,000 for next year. For that reason, supervisors still need to charge enough in taxes to cover that cost. If they deflated the tax rate for one year due to the windfall, they would need to re-inflate it the following year. “I don’t ever advocate for balancing your budget on one-time dollars,” Nichols said. “One-time dollars are way dangerous.” Eager did not speak during the discussion. “I wish that it had been put back into the general fund, but that’s not what the other Board members wanted to do,” Eager said after the meeting. When asked if she stood by her portrayal of the issue in her earlier comments to the Fluvanna Review or if the discussion had framed the issue in a different light, Eager said, “Oh yeah, I feel the same. I wish that we had put it back and given all of the CIP the opportunity, or other needs in the county, instead of just handing it out.” Offense Date Time Aggravated Assault 2/2 3:04 p.m. All Other Offenses All Other Offenses All Other Offenses All Other Offenses 1/29 1/30 1/30 1/30 3:02 p.m. 9:44 a.m. 2:00 p.m. 2:06 p.m. All Other Offenses 2/1 5:07 p.m. All Other Offenses 2/4 12:51 a.m. Destruction/Damage/Vandalism of Property Destruction/Damage/Vandalism of Property Destruction/Damage/Vandalism of Property Destruction/Damage/Vandalism of Property Driving Under the Influence Driving Under the Influence 2/2 8:00 a.m. 2/3 9:29 a.m. 1/29 10:38 a.m. 1/29 1:06 p.m. 2/3 6:04 a.m. 2/4 12:51 a.m. Drug Equipment Violations 2/1 Drug/Narcotic Violations Drug/Narcotic Violations 1/29 3:02 p.m. 1/29 10:06 p.m. Drug/Narcotic Violations 1/31 1:06 p.m. Drug/Narcotic Violations 2/1 5:07 p.m. Drug/Narcotic Violations Family Offenses, Nonviolent Family Offenses, Nonviolent Simple Assault 2/4 12:19 a.m. 2/1 3:55 p.m. 1/30 10:17 a.m. 1/30 9:43 a.m. Simple Assault Simple Assault Theft From Motor Vehicle Trespass of Real Property 2/1 2/1 1/31 1/31 Trespass of Real Property Total Offenses: 27 1/29 10:38 a.m. 5:07 p.m. 6:08 a.m. 7:17 p.m. 2:41 p.m. 4:30 p.m. Address Thomas Jefferson Pkwy.

Emory Davis. The boys then headed to Charlottesville on Jan. 31 and lost 49-61. “They’re the best team we’ve played all season,” said sophomore Josh Elliott. “We played well, but small mistakes cost us the game,” he added. As of Feb. 2, the team had a record of 4-10. Swim and dive Girls’ basketball The Fluvanna girls’ varsity basketball team traveled to Monticello on senior night (Jan. 27). The team fought hard but came up short and lost 41-43. “We played hard, but they had better offense and we were just throwing the ball up,” said freshmen Mya Wright. Their next game was at home on Jan. 31 where they took on Charlottesville. Although the Lady Flucos played smart as a team, they ended up losing 52-56, making their overall record 13-8 going into their last game of the regular season. “It’s never easy when we lose,” said junior Michelle Hammond, adding, “We need to pick up the pace and make early shots, and continue doing that throughout the game.” Meanwhile, the junior varsity (JV) team took on Monticello on Jan. 27 and lost in overtime 38-45. “Our defense was tight and our shots were falling, but it wasn’t enough,” said freshman Maggie Wentz. The girls’ next game was at home on Jan. 31 against Charlottesville, where the Flucos lost 19-50. With this loss, the JV girls’ record became 5-14 going into their last regular season game. Boys’ basketball Jan. 27 was senior night for the Fluvanna boys’ varsity basketball team as they battled Monticello at home. Monticello had an early lead, but the Flucos refused to give up. “We brought it back to 45-40, but Monticello went on another run and we just couldn’t score,” said senior Colby Deforge. At the end, the Flucos ended up losing 46-65. The Flucos then lost to Charlottesville 37-65 on Jan. 31. “We didn’t play as a team,” said senior Josh Carlton, adding, “We need to move around more defensively and we have to execute better offensively.” Going into their last game on Feb. 3, the boys’ record was 1-19. Meanwhile, the JV team played Monticello at home on Jan. 27 and won 51-41. “They’re a really good team and it felt good to beat them after losing to them earlier in the season,” said freshman The Fluvanna swim and dive team traveled to Harrisonburg on Jan. 28 for a meet against Spotswood and East Rockingham. The girls managed to win the meet despite missing a few swimmers. The boys placed second in the meet, defeating East Rockingham.

Gearing up for their Conference match on Feb. 4 against Western Albemarle, the Fluco wrestling team first traveled to Henrico on Jan. 28. They fought hard, but were unable to win the overall tournament; however, some wrestlers were able to win individual awards in their weight categories including Ian Dillon (first), Mason Justice (third), Matthew Haden (third), and Ethan Vernatter (fourth). The evening’s highlights included freshman Matthew Haden, who is in his first year wrestling, and was able to pin his opponent in the first 30 seconds of his final match. Haden said he was pleased “that the tables were turned,” since it made up for him being pinned in his first match at that tournament. As the wrestlers got ready for Conference, sophomore Mason Justus said, “I feel like we have a good shot of making it through Conference and to Regionals. As a team we will do good with the amount of people we have.” Forensics After having many tournaments cancelled due to inclement weather, the Fluco speech team was finally able to compete in the new year when they traveled to Fort Defiance on Jan. 28 to go up against many different schools in the Shenandoah Valley Forensic League Tournament of Champions.

In 2013 the court found Morris guilty of using a communication device to solicit a minor. He had to register as a sex offender. Even though he was sentenced to 10 years in prison, he was released with time served after a judge suspended the rest of the sentence. Morris was ordered to spend that time on probation and to follow strict guidelines. Those included staying away from minors. Since then, Morris was arrested twice for failing to register as a sex offender. Morris said Thursday he had been homeless and didn’t know that when he moved to Louisa he had to change his address. Morris, 28, testified Thursday that in early 2016 he was homeless and “hanging out at Sheetz to eat and get warm. “ He said some employees knew he was a sex offender. “I heard people joke and criticize and make more of it than it was,” he said. To advertise call: 434.207.0222 Morris said a state police officer confronted him at Sheetz, saying she was “investigating a report saying I was doing inappropriate things in the bathroom. I was not.” Since that day in July, Morris said he has not gone inside the store. He does landscaping for a man and lives in a trailer on his boss’ Louisa property. Morris said his boss and his youngest sister were in the courtroom supporting him. Assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney Nancy Oglesby asked Morris about four affidavits from Sheetz employees that pointed to his bothering a 16-year-old clerk at the store. “Did you say to her that any person who would have her would be a lucky man? Did you ask her for her phone number? Did you tell her there is nothing wrong with dating an older man? Did you offer to buy her a purse? To buy her food?” Oglesby said. Morris said no, he did not. “So everything she wrote down here is a lie?” “Yes,” Morris said. Oglesby said it was clear Morris was in violation of his parole. “It’s beyond belief that four people would conspire against him – as if they were out to get him,” Oglesby said. Defense Attorney Richard Harry said the manager needed to find a way to get Morris off the property. “Those four didn’t confront him,” Harry said. “He said he didn’t do it. He hasn’t been back at the store since July. They got the result they wanted.” The judge said he had two questions before him: “Are you in violation of failing to register and are you in violation of good behavior? I am more concerned about the other allegations. Are they true? Are you a danger to young women?” Nothing was introduced to challenge the witness statements, Moore said. “There is no evidence that would impeach their credibility.” The judge said he believed Morris was talking to the 16-year-old and that he needed to learn to control himself. Harry said during Morris’ two years of supervised probation, there were no problems. At Sheetz, “nothing else did happen,” Harry said. “Maybe it was the reminder he needed to stay away.“ Moore said normally with a first violation and no subsequent acts, he wouldn’t find someone in violation. “My real concern is he’s still in denial. He doesn’t think he has a problem. He said it didn’t happen. He said they’re making it up,” Moore said. “That makes it a problem and concern for me. I don’t think I can trust him. I’m giving him a one year active sentence.” Deputies put Morris in handcuffs and led him away.
