comments from Fluvannareview.com and Facebook 

On a Feb. 2 story about saving a dog from drowning: 

Great Job! Thanks for always being there for creatures human, and otherwise! 

– Gina Proulx 

Those guys (or gals) rock!!! Yay!—Terri Corcoran 

On a Feb. 2 story about development at Zion Crossroads: 

Very detailed look at a complicated situation. – Vin Brzyski 

Fluvanna is out. Supervisors held the county back and now merchants have 

moved on. – Sandra Beazley 

On a Feb. 2 story about the sometimes lengthy response time for 

rescue: 

Shop Fluvanna, Buy Fluvanna….familiar words of the grass roots movement 

that we’ve all seen over the last few years. The sense of community is alive 

and well here in our little piece of Central Virginia, whether it be in the 

schools, helpi...ng the underprivileged or in our churches. I would hope the 

powers that be (Fluvanna County BOS) recognize the wealth of expertise 

they have right here in Fluvanna as they consider a PAID EMS staff. I know 

that many of us (FC Rescue Squad) would love to get paid, even if only in 

a part-time status (or stipend) for work that we love to do and volunteer at 

now keeping our community safe. Please members of the Board, look inward 

before soliciting this to an outside vendor. If you do not, shame on you 

and it is again, the County’s loss. – Mike Martin 

On a Dec. 1 column written by Jennifer Zajac on vanity plates: 

I think this is your best column that you’ve written in a long while. Not saying 

anything you’ve written is ever bad – your work is consistently smart and 

funny – but this was original and insightful. Okay, and funny. – Brian 

On a Feb. 2 story about Two J’s Smokehouse: 

I cannot wait to go check out this restuarant, everything I hear about it sounds 

great! And my mouth is watering just thinking about that beef brisket, thanks 

for the review! –Tacenowak 

This place is awesome! We went for the first time this past weekend and were 

blown away at the quality of the meal we ordered...ribs were terrific and the 

BBQ was so moist/tender that it left me wanting more. We really hope the 

support continues for this place and makes it a success. – Flucoman 

On a Sept. 8 story about Cuppa Joe, a coffeehouse: 

Here is one of the friendliest coffee houses I have ever been to. The place is 

totally Key West and the coffee is the best.. what can one say. My first trip 

to the keys was this year.. So to find this so close to home was a find...Joe is 

a great guy with excellent Karma.. so turn your third eye toward this little 

gem and enjoy... I did... – Trina Weir the coffee queen...LOL aka desperado, 

singer, all around good egg frisky filly.... 

On a Feb. 7 story about Fluco swimmers and divers advancing to 

regionals: 

Way to go FLUCO swimmers. With all of this talent and dedication to swimming, 

one might ask WHY don’t we have a pool at the new high school? 

They say it is because swimming does not generate income. However, I ask 

does anyone know how much revenue is generated by hosting a State meet?

extension hubbub could be over 

By Ruthann CaRR 

Correspondent 

Amid much hue and cry from Virginia 

Cooperative Extension agents 

and volunteers throughout the Commonwealth, 

Virginia Tech officials 

have said, “Never mind” about their 

proposed plan to restructure. 

For now, at least. 

On. Jan. 28, Alan L. Grant, dean of 

the college of Agriculture and Life Sciences, 

sent a letter that read, in part, 

“…the decision has been made to immediately 

suspend the work of the VCE 

restructuring implementation teams.” 

Fluvanna’s Extension Agent John 

Thompson said it is true that graphs 

show Agency 229 funds are flat. Those 

funds are the pot of money that pays 

for the Cooperative Extension system 

and Agriculture Experiment Station. 

“Yet state funding hasn’t dropped 

that much actually,” Thompson said. 

Nevertheless last year, Grant sent 

out an e-mail survey asking questions 

about reorganizing in light of budget 

deficits. 

Virginia Senator Frank Ruff (R-15) 

said the survey was full of more theoretical 

questions than he thought practical. 

“I thought the questions were 

very questionable,” Ruff said. “(They 

seemed) geared to get the response 

someone probably wanted.” 

Ruff said when Grant rolled out the 

proposed restructuring plan last fall, 

he felt it focused on the suburban 

counties – supplying them with agents 

at what looked like the expense of rural 

counties. 

Thompson agreed. He said in the initially 

proposed restructuring, the Piedmont 

area, which now is almost fully 

staffed, would have lost agents and the 

Tidewater and Southside areas would 

have gained. 

Some suggested that 229 funds earmarked 

to go to extension offices were 

being used to pay administrative salaries 

at the university. 

Ruff said he’s heard those complaints. 

“There are stories out there 

that I believe to be correct,” Ruff said. 

“It didn’t make sense what they were 

proposing. I told them they needed to 

start over from square one.” 

In a file marked alumni/legislative 

2010,Virginia Tech requests no state 

budget cuts noting that since 2008, 

200 VCE positions had been cut. It also 

states “more than 30,000 volunteers 

contribute time valued at $21 million.”

It was those volunteers that rallied 

state and local representatives to look 

into the plan to restructure. 

What seemed like a done deal is no 

more. 

Both Thompson and Ruff said they 

hope there will be better participation 

from a larger, more diverse group 

of people in the new reorganization 

plan. 

Thompson said besides Fluvanna’s 

active 4H clubs – at least 140 participate 

and that doesn’t include the 

summer camp – his office provides 

bee-keeping classes, sheep and goat 

programs and interaction with Farmer’s 

Markets. 

He stays busy with general troubleshooting 

– issues with hayfields, lawn 

and garden, pastures and livestock – 

helping with soil issues and answering 

questions about large lot subdivisions. 

“I’ve built certain programs and I’d 

prefer not to leave,” Thompson said. 

“In the end, I’ll do whatever my employer 

says.” 

Thompson said he believes extension 

agents build a sense of community, 

that could be lost if services and 

people are stretched too thin. 

Even though the restructuring plan 

has been put on hold, officials at Virginia 

Tech haven’t said exactly how 

they intend to proceed. 

Except that in Grant’s January letter 

he states: “We will be asking our 

partners to be further engaged in this 

process and assist us in our mandate 

from the General Assembly to restructure 

extension.” 


Lake Monticello water rescuers save 

dog from icy pond 

Maybe Labrador retrievers love water too much. 

The Lake Monticello Water Rescue Team on Monday 

(Jan. 31) saved a 70 pound Labrador which had fallen 

through ice on a large, private pond off Ruritan Lake 

Road. 

The dog, a Labrador mix, had trotted out onto the ice 

on the pond and broken through at a point about 40 

feet from shore. The dog was half in the frigid water 

with its paws on the ice looking pitiful. 

“It was clinging to the edge of the ice,’’ said Greg Zajac, 

a member of the rescue team. “It was a cold and nasty 

day.” 

A passerby had seen the dog and called 911. A dispatcher 

then alerted the water rescue team which arrived 

at the scene around 5:30 p.m. just at dusk. 

Zajac said two water rescuers prepared to go after the 

dog while he and others readied to launch an inflatable 

boat if necessary. 

Water rescuer Paul Brantley donned a “dry suit’’ and a 

harness to which was attached a rope while team member 

Larry Antonacci served as the tender, paying out the 

rope but ready to yank Brantley back if necessary. 

Zajac said Brantley both swam through the water and 

pulled himself through the ice which he broke with his 

elbows as he moved toward the dog. There was some 

concern the dog might bite, but he was “too cold and 

scared and was happy to see us,’’ said Zajac. 

Brantley grabbed the dog and Antonacci pulled him 

back to shore with the rope. The rescue went flawlessly. 

“It worked out perfectly,’’ said Zajac. “It was a week 

after we had our ice training.” 

Zajac said a woman who had spotted the dog said she 

had been prepared to go after the animal if the water 

rescuers hadn’t arrived. “Please, please don’t do that,’’ 

said Zajac. “That would be highly dangerous. We’re glad 

she called us.” 

As for the dog, it appeared to be in fine shape and was 

taken away by neighbors or its owner. “It was shivering 

but seemed okay,’’ said Zajac. – Carlos Santos 

Stove fire damages kitchen at house on 

Kents Store Way 

A stove fire damaged a kitchen at a one-story house at 

3428 Kents Store Way near Ferncliff at about 3:20 p.m. 

Thursday (Feb. 3). 

Firefighters found the stove fire already extinguished, 

said Fluvanna Volunteer Fire Chief Mike Brent. But the 


Fluvanna news briefs 

Reported first on FluvannaReview.com 

fire created “smoke conditions” in the kitchen and attic 

area. 

“Firefighters investigated for fire extension but the 

fire was contained to the kitchen area only,” Brent said. 

The Red Cross was contacted to provide temporary assistance 

to the residents due to electrical wiring having 

to be repaired before power being turned back on to 

the residence, he said. The house is owned by Odessa T. 

Parrish, according to county land records. 

Gooch asks board to bring funding 

priorities to next meeting 

After a budget presentation by County Administrator 

Jay Scudder at the Wednesday (Feb. 2) Board of Supervisors 

meeting that showed current and projected deficits, 

Board of Supervisor Chairman John Gooch (Palmyra) 

encouraged supervisors to bring ideas on funding 

priorities to the next meeting (Feb. 16). 

Shaun Kenney, (Columbia) said it is important the 

board is clear about and “up front about what are our 

funding priorities. Last year we punted. Let’s have the 

courage to do things right.” Donald Weaver (Cunningham) 

encouraged the board to “come up with a (tax) 

rate and stick to that budget.” 

School Superintendent Gena Keller and Director of Finance 

Ed Breslauer presented budget considerations to 

the Fluvanna County Board of Supervisors at the meeting. 

While no numbers were discussed, they outlined 

funding goals. 

Dispatch data shows Fluvanna residents 

wait too long for rescue 

A volunteer committee analyzed six months of Emergency 

Medical Services dispatch data and determined 

Fluvanna County residents have to wait too long for 

help to arrive, Leonard Bozza, president of Lake Monticello 

Fire and Rescue told the Fluvanna County Board 

of Supervisors on Wednesday (Feb. 2). 

Bozza, who presented the committee’s findings, said 

in some cases a wait that is too long could prove fatal. 

The committee recommended the county augment the 

current, all-volunteer staff with one full and one halftime 

Advanced Life Support position, a half time Basic 

Life Support EMT position, create a County Director of 

Emergency Services position and buy and equip an Advanced 

Life Care Response vehicle at an estimated total 

cost of about $550,000. Among the suggested ways to 

pay for the added cost was to establish a specific tax 

line for Fire and EMS services, seek grants and establish 

a revenue recovery system. – Ruthann Carr

Drug-sniffing dog aids in arrest 

By Joe Ronan 

Correspondent 

A drug-sniffing dog from the Fluvanna 

County Sheriff’s Office helped 

with the arrest of a man suspected 

of possessing drugs last summer, 

though the arrest was contested in 

court on Jan. 28. 

On the night of Aug. 6, Fluvanna 

County Sheriff’s Deputy Philip Snoddy 

was monitoring traffic on Rt. 250 

in Troy. Snoddy pulled Thomas Asher 

Clay over for speeding. Snoddy’s 

suspicions were aroused by Clay’s 

actions after being pulled over, according 

to court testimony. 

Deputy Sheriff Joshua Greene was 

also at the scene with a drug sniffing 

dog. The dog signaled the presence of 

drugs. A subsequent search revealed 

that Clay possessed more than a onehalf 

ounce of marijuana, according 

to court records. 

At a hearing conducted in Fluvanna 

Circuit Court on Jan. 28, Charlottesville 

defense attorney Michael 

Hemenway sought to have evidence 

seized from his client at a traffic stop 

thrown out. Hemenway argued that 

the search was illegal, alleging that 

it was based solely on the alert by a 

drug sniffing dog. 

Assistant Commonwealth Attorney 

Francis Terwilliger argued that the 

conduct of the defendant after being 

pulled over (driving more than 100 

feet into a driveway and movements 

within the vehicle as the deputy approached) 

was sufficient probable 

cause for the search. 

Judge John G. Berry ruled that the 

search was legal. The case was set for 

a non-jury trial on March 17. 

The sheriff’s office deploys a canine 

unit as part of its patrol within 

the county. There is only one such 

unit in service, though an additional 

dog is being trained. 

The additional unit should be “up 

and running” in six to eight weeks 

according to Greene who is cur- 

rently responsible for canine patrol. 

The dog is trained for use in narcotics 

detection, tracking and building 

searches. Greene estimates that the 

dog currently in service is engaged in 

approximately 100 cases per year of 

which 75% are narcotics cases. 

In other court action: 

• An Afton man was convicted for 

his third driving while intoxicated 

offense. Cesar Gavia-Cruz entered a 

guilty plea pursuant to a written plea 

agreement. After hearing a presentation 

of the evidence from Assistant 

Commonwealth Attorney Francis 

Terwilliger, including evidence of 

two prior convictions, Circuit Judge 

John G. Berry accepted the guilty 

plea. Gavia-Cruz received an active 

90 day sentence. His driver’s license 

was suspended indefinitely. He must 

maintain good behavior for five years 

and be subject to two years of supervised 

probation. Gavia-Cruz must 

undergo drug and alcohol education 

and counseling. 

• A brother and sister from Troy 

were convicted of charges of conspiracy 

to distribute cocaine and 

cocaine distribution. Judge Berry accepted 

guilty pleas to four charges 

against Joseph Lucas Hill and two 

charges against Shannell Lolita Hill. 

Both defendants were placed in custody 

pending sentencing hearings. 

Joseph Hill will be sentenced on April 

8. Shannel Hill will be sentenced on 

March 31. 

• In another case involving drugs, 

Ruby Ann Hatcher, a resident of Troy 

who was convicted in 2007 of a drug 

related charge, appeared in court in 

connection with a charge of violating 

the good behavior provisions of her 

2007 sentencing. Hatcher was convicted 

of possession of cocaine with 

intent to sell in Louisa County on 

January 19. The Fluvanna case was 

adjourned to April 8. The sentencing 

in the Louisa case is scheduled for 

April 4.

Lobbying for social justice 

contRiButed By iRma FoRgeR 

Deborah Nixon, Ken Albright, 

Pastor of Grace and Glory Lutheran 

Church, Joe Shaver, and Jean De- 

Marco, chair of Grace and Glory’s Social 

Justice Small Group, braved the 

weather on Jan. 18 and joined nearly 

300 other Virginians of various faiths 

in Richmond at the Day for All People 

2011, “Setting the Tone for Social 

Justice.” There they first got a halfhour 

overview of several issue areas, 

in preparation for visits at the State 

General Assembly where they spoke 

with state legislators. 

A critical issue is the millions of 

dollars of federal money allocated 

to Virginia for unemployment benefits: 

our state legislators need only 

accept it, and this is the last year we 

can do so. Records show that only 

30% of Virginia’s unemployed receive 

benefits, meaning 70% of our 

unemployed are being denied benefits, 

thus worsening the impact of the 

economy for all of us. 

For several years, the Interfaith 

Center has been lobbying against 

predatory lending practices on payday 

loans, at interest 

rates as high as 

360%, so prohibitive 

that most borrowers 

are trapped 

in a cycle of debt 

from which they 

are unable to extricate 

themselves. 

This matter has now 

come up for a vote in 

the state legislature, 

the law capping the 

rate at 36%. And 

in Danville, near 

the North Carolina 

border, predatory 

lenders have added 

gambling kiosks to 

their storefronts! 

This practice has 

for children birth through 

seven years old 

Commentary 

been outlawed in North Carolina, so 

the predators have moved their kiosks 

northward into Virginia where 

they hope to expand; our legislators 

need to follow North Carolina’s lead 

in banning this practice. 

The Reverend C. Douglas Smith, 

Executive Director of the VA Interfaith 

Center, said numbers are important 

to legislators: If our lobbying 

group of 8 people speaks for Child 

Protection legislation, while another 

group of 12 speaks against such legislation, 

legislators will pay attention 

to the greater number of petitioners. 

Jean DeMarco is hoping that more 

Grace and Glory members, and more 

people of faith everywhere in Virginia, 

will take part in advocacy sessions 

such as this one: speaking up for the 

weakest and most vulnerable. As we 

do it for the least among us, so we do 

it also for Him.

Fluvanna population increased about 28% in past ten years Health 

By Ruthann caRR 

Correspondent 

Fluvanna population increased about 28% in past ten years 

Fluvanna gained 5,644 people in the last ten years, according 

to 2010 U.S. Census data released Friday (Feb. 4). Fluvanna is one 

of 21 Virginia counties whose population rose 20 percent or more 

from the 2000 census. 

The census showed Fluvanna County with a population of 

25,691. The population in 2000 was 20,047. 


The 2010 racial makeup of the county is as follows: white, 

20,743; black, 3,938; American Indian, 49; Asian, 147; Hispanic, 

760; and other, 268. 

Other figures included in the newest figures: There are 19,773 

people age 18 and over living in Fluvanna; there are 10,383 total 

housing units with 9,449 units occupied and 934 vacant. 

While Virginia as a whole did not lose or gain congressional 

seats, because of population shifts within the state, districts will 

be redrawn. Gov. Bob McDonnell has appointed a committee to 

decide how that redistricting will take place. 

Department 

Hailed 

As local health departments 

nationwide strive 

to protect the public from 

new and infectious diseases, 

bioterrorism, natural 

disasters, and other public 

health threats, the National 

Association of County and 

City Health Officials (NAC- 

CHO) has recognized the 

Thomas Jefferson Health 

District (TJHD) for its ability 

to respond to public health 

emergencies. The TJHD 

serves Fluvanna, Albemarle, 

Greene, Louisa and Nelson 

counties and the City 

of Charlottesville. 

We are proud to have 

been recognized by Project 

Public Health Ready as a 

leader in emergency preparedness,” 

said Dr. Lilian 

Peake, District Director of 

Thomas Jefferson Health 

District. “Our efforts 

wouldn’t be possible without 

strong collaboration 

with community agencies, 

schools, businesses and 

residents to help plan for 

and support each other 

during times of duress.”

Still crazy after all these years 

To celebrate Valentine’s Day, reporter Kristin Sancken interviewed several Fluvanna County 

couples about their marriages – how they met and how they stayed together. 

Pat and Pat Downs 

Married September 4, 1948 

Carol and David Eddy 

Married June 23, 2001 


Nothing is more adorable than 

two people who have been married 

for 62 years who first met 

in the 5th grade. Add on to 

that the fact that they’re both 

named Pat (Patrick & Patricia), 

and they could quite 

possibly be the next June & 

Ward Cleaver. 

“We lived a couple of blocks 

apart, and we went to the same 

grammar school in Queens, St. 

Girard’s,” said Patrick Downs. “But we 

didn’t start going out together until I came 

home from the Navy after World War II.” 

“He was driving around with his cousin and he recognized 

me,” said Patricia Downs. “He was on leave, 

so we went on a few dates, nothing serious.” 

But soon the relationship did turn serious, and Patrick 

proposed. “We were walking down the street and 

he said to me, ‘we’re getting engaged on September 3 

and getting married on September 4 of the following 

year’, it was very romantic,” Patricia said with a smile. 

“It took me a year to buy the ring I guess,” said Patrick. 

“We were married in 1948, my sophomore year of college. 

By the time I graduated we had one child and 

one on the way.” 

Patrick spent his career as a teacher for two Catholic 

schools in Queens and later for the Oceanside school 

district in Long Island near East Hampton. 

“You name it, I taught it,” said Patrick. “Everything 

from high school biology to 5th grade to being the 

principal of an elementary school.” 

While Carol and David Eddy haven’t been 

married long, what they don’t have in 

longevity is made up in their moderntwist 

on the quintessential love story. 

Carol and David met online 11 

years ago. At the time, David was a 

49-year-old bachelor and Carol had 

already been married before, but they 

both took a chance on Love@AOL. 

“My personality is such that I don’t 

like to be alone, but this time I wanted to be 

a little more careful,” said Carol. “But, I already 

had two strikes against me – the fact that I had a disease 

and the fact that my mother lived with me. Not 

too many men want to marry into that.” 

When Carol was 29-years-old she was diagnosed 

with Muscular Dystrophy [MD], a disease that over 

60 people in her family (including her mother) have. 

MD is so prevalent in her family that doctors from the 

University of Virginia and Duke have come to family 

reunions to study them. Since the death of her father 

in 1977, her mother had come to live with her. 

“I told David I would want someone to look at the 

inside,” said Carol. “Online you get to know people 

on a different level, you get into each other’s heads 

and its more of a mental attraction than a physical 

attraction.” 

“Talking to her on the computer and in person she 

was so positive, optimistic and non-judgmental,” said 

David. “It was disarming the first time I met her, but 

she seemed like a really nice person and I was interested 

in continuing the conversation even if it didn’t 

turn romantic.” 

But soon David was commuting from Newport News 

every weekend to see Carol.

Patricia was a homemaker. “My 

mother was a stickler for that,” said 

Patricia. “She said, ‘they’re your kids, 

you raise them.’ Both of our families 

were the best, we had great parents.” 

In 1985 Patrick retired from the Oceansi 

d e school district and they decided to retire in 

Virginia. 

“You can’t afford to play golf in East Hampton, or 

even eat out,” said Patrick. “So we started looking. 

The Lake [Monticello] advertised in New York, New 

Jersey and Pennsylvania – a full page spread every 

weekend. So, we checked it out.” 

Since moving here in 1985 the couple has built five 

different homes in the Lake Monticello area, and are 

currently living in a mother-in-law apartment below 

the home of their youngest daughter, Mary Lou. 

They’re avid golfers, golfing six nights a week, and 

enjoy frequent visits from their three kids, eight grandchildren 

and ten great-grandchildren. 

“We’ve had a good life,” said Patrick. “And we’ve had 

fun,” added Patricia.

Be optimistic, positive 

and patient. Don’t try to

“When you get to a certain age, there is more of an 

emphasis on the ‘friend’ part of ‘girlfriend’,” said David. 

“I proposed initially over the internet,” said David. 

“I still have the e-mail,” said Carol. 

“The following weekend I came and did it in person,” 

said David. 

“And he brought me a dozen long-stemmed red roses,” 

said Carol. “I felt so fortunate to meet him and 

find a person like him.” 

After having a handicap accessible wedding in their 

backyard, with 90 people in attendance, they took 

their honeymoon to Mountain Lake in Giles County 

and the Martha Washington Inn in Abingdon where 

they saw shows at the Barter Theater. 

“It was to my advantage that he had been a bachelor 

for 50 years,” said Carol. “He already knew how 

to cook and do laundry.” “I skipped right over a parent 

and went straight to grandparent,” said David of 

Carol’s son Greg, three grandchildren and two stepgrandchildren.

Cornelia and George Eddy 

Married March 1, 1944 

Lou and Clara Cooper 

Married September 19, 1953 

If the last name Eddy 

sounds familiar, it’s because 

Cornelia and 

George are David 

Eddy’s parents. 

They moved in 

with Carol and David 

four years ago. 

Their 66-year-long 

marriage is evident 

in the way they complete 

each other’s sentences, 

interrupt each other 

and correct each other’s dates and 

facts. 

George was in the Army and had been transferred 

to Turner Air Force Base in Albany, Georgia 

where Cornelia was working as a telephone 

operator for Southern Bell. 

“I met him in a movie,” said Cornelia. “I lived 

seven blocks away, so he walked me home. I 

remember his first words to me were, ‘I’m not 

going to be here very long, I’m going to cadet 

school’ and I thought ‘So what? I just met you. I 

can unmeet you.’ But the next day was my 18th 

birthday and he showed up. I never thought I’d 

see him again.” 

“The next time he came back to see me I had 

the flu,” said Cornelia. “He sat by my bed all 

day long. Then he gave me this little ring that 

day, it was New Year’s Eve.” 

Lou and Clara Cooper are a reminder 

that a love story 

doesn’t end at 

marriage, but

often shows 

its strength 

in difficulty. 

They met 

in 1952, 

both working 

for the General 

Services Administration 

in Washington D.C. 

– Clara as a secretary for the 

controller and Lou running a supply 

program. 

“We dated for a year, quite regularly,” said 

Lou. “We enjoyed how each other talked and 

associated with others and we found we had 

similar upbringings.” 

Lou was raised in south central Oklahoma, 

the third son of a farming family hit hard by the 

Dust Bowl. Clara was the daughter of German 

immigrants, her father working his way up to 

become the chief painter for the Navy annex. 

“This may sound peculiar but I proposed to 

her and gave her a ring on Good Friday evening,” 

said Lou. 

After getting married in living in Washington 

D.C. for a while, they settled in Fairfax County 

and had two children, Debbie and Karl, and 

now have four grandchildren. 

“What’s kept us together over the 57 years is 

trust with each other, talk with each other and 

working out our problems together,” said Lou. 

“We trusted each other with our lives.” 

That trust was tested 13 years ago when Clara 

was diagnosed with breast cancer and then 

again just last year when Lou experienced a 

life-threatening heart attack. 

Marriage is a lot of give 

and take. Try to be loving 

and considerate and don’t 

be insistent on anything 

disagreeable.

Trust each other, talk to 

each other and work out 

your problems together. 

“We got married in the middle of the 

war,” said George. “He would come home every 

night and say, ‘Well, I made it another day’ 

because the boys were being shipped out every 

day,” said Cornelia. “He never did go. He was 

discharged December 14, 1945.” 

After being discharged the couple moved to 

Roanoke and later to Langley Air Force Base in 

Hampton, Virginia where they lived until moving 

to Palmyra four years ago. 

“We have good health,” said George. “The 

good outweighs the bad.” “We’ve had a wonderful 

life,” interrupted Cornelia. 

“I was petrified,” said Clara. “I was sure I was 

going to die when they first diagnosed me. I 

had watched my mother die of breast cancer.” 

At this Lou’s strong patriarchal façade faded. 

“It was really scary,” said Lou. “Can you imagine 

me being a nurse?” Admittedly, it’s hard to 

imagine Lou being a nurse. He’s the type of 

guy who dominates a room and has no fear expressing 

exactly how he feels about something 

– even if it’s highly controversial. 

“Lou was there with me through it,” said 

Clara. “He was a good nurse, he took good care 

of me.” 

“One of the things that’s really important 

about our family is when the kids found out 

they came immediately and they were here to 

make all of the decisions with us,” said Lou. 

Clara now occupies her time with her favorite 

hobby, quilting, and Lou with his, golf. After 

Lou’s open-heart bypass surgery last year, he 

was happy to get back on the greens as soon as 

he could, excitedly showing off a photo book of 

him and his son Karl and grandson Harry playing 

in a charity golf tournament together. 

“Golf changed my life,” said Lou.

Dominion, Fluor donate to Fluvanna Habitat 


Habitat for Humanity in 

Fluvanna County has received 

$50,000 from the Dominion 

Foundation, the philanthropic 

arm of Richmond-based 

Dominion Resources, and 

Fluor Corporation based in 

Irving, Texas. 

The money provided by 

the two companies will allow 

Habitat to construct two houses 

this year in the county for 

needy families. In addition, 

Dominion, which is building 

Bear Garden Power Station 

in Buckingham County, and 

Fluor, the engineering-construction 

firm hired to build 

the station, will provide materials 

and volunteers to help 

complete the houses. 

“Our goal has been to 

construct two homes a year 

in Fluvanna County,” said 

Habitat President Mike Himes. “With 

the downtown turn in the economy, we 

have not been able to reach that goal 

for the past few years. Thanks to the 

generosity of Dominion and Fluor, we 

will achieve our goal this year.” 

Emmett Toms, an external affairs 

manager with Dominion, and Trey 

Wills, executive director with Fluor’s 

Power Group, each presented Himes 

with checks for $25,000 in a ceremony 

held Friday, Jan. 28.

Habitat for Humanity and emmett toms of

third row: Jimmy law and Curtis easler of Fluor.

“Dominion has been a strong supporter 

of Habitat for Humanity in many 

of the areas where it has operations,” 

said Toms. “With Fluvanna County being 

the home of our Bremo Power Station 

and a neighbor of the Bear Garden 

Power Station, we are pleased to be 

able to partner with the local Habitat 

organization.” 

Work on one of the new homes already 

has begun. “Our hope is that our 

next Habitat family will be in their new 

home by Easter,” said Himes.

Spirit and Truth 

By the Rev. GReG Smith 

A place to abide 

And Jesus turned, and beheld them 

following, and saith unto them, What 

seek ye? And they said unto him, 

Rabbi (which is to say, being interpreted, 

Teacher), where abideth thou? 

(John 1:38 ASV) 

When I was young, our family took 

in foster children. Though we were 

assured their stay would be brief, 

these three girls remained with us for 

years. Each one was a blessing, and 

each had special emotional needs. 

One of the girls, whom we’ll call Margaret, 

was born in Glasgow, the child 

of a Scottish woman and an American 

sailor. Her mother was unable to 

care for her, so in her first eight years 

Margaret moved to her aunt’s house 

in Spain, and then back to Scotland 

to live with her grandmother. From 

there, she moved to Colorado to live 

with another aunt. When that aunt 

couldn’t keep her, she sent Margaret 

to another yet aunt in Virginia. When 

she couldn’t take care of her, Margaret 

entered the foster care system. By 

the time she came to us, Margaret had 

been shuffled from place to place so 

much that she didn’t know where she 

belonged. She didn’t just need a place 

where she could stay for awhile, but a 

place where she could abide. 

When they first met Him, Jesus’ disciples 

asked, “Where abidest thou?” 

“Come and see,” he replied, and they 

stayed with him overnight. Some 

make the mistake of thinking that just 

because Jesus was itinerant, he must 

have been homeless. Many Bible 

scholars believe (based on this verse 

and Mark 2:1, 15) that Jesus actually 

owned a home in Capernaum. He invited 

them to his own home for the 

night, and they ended up staying with 

Jesus for three years. In fact, when 

His Spirit dwelt in their hearts, He remained 

with them forever, promising 

them a heavenly home. 

A place to abide…that means much 

more than just a place to stay. The 

root Greek word for “abide” in John 

1:38 is meno, which means “to remain, 

continue, endure, last, and live.” 

Its meaning is more permanent than 

“Where are you staying?” This makes 

us think of a hotel, but instead Jesus’ 

followers wanted to know where they 

could remain with Jesus forever. 

Jesus uses a form of meno ten times 

in John 15:1-10 (NASB). “Just as the 

Father has loved Me, I have also loved 

you; abide in My love.” You abide in 

Him when you remain in a state of 

prayer and fellowship with His Spirit. 

You bear fruit in your life when you 

abide in Him the way a grape vine 

abides in the branch. You draw nutrients 

from Jesus just as the grape draws 

its sustenance from the sap that flows 

through the branch. When Jesus calls 

you to become His disciple, He doesn’t 

say, “Why don’t you visit for awhile?” 

Instead, he says, “Remain with me. 

Abide with me.” When you abide in 

Him, you know that wherever you go 

in life, you’re at home in His love.

Friends of the library 

By Bill JoneS 

Friends think charity 

“Though I speak with the tongue of men and 

of angels 

And have not charity I am become as sounding 

brass 

Or a tinkling cymbal” 

– 1 Corinthians 13:1 

When the Friends of the Library met on 

Feb. 2 the theme of the meeting was charity. 

Among our speakers were representatives 

from Meals on Wheels and the Christian 

Outreach. 

Marvin Moss spoke on behalf of the Historical 

Society. He wanted to remind us that 

a forthcoming book “Virginia’s Palmyra” by 

David Bearr is now available for orders. Palmyra 

became the county seat of Fluvanna 

in 1828.This book has many pictures of the 

buildings and describes the town’s history. 

Paperbacks are $20 and hard copies are $30. 

These prices are based on advance orders. 

Marvin also announced that the Fluvanna 

Historical Society now has 600 members. 

Don Morton spoke on behalf of Fluvanna 

Meals on Wheels. He began by telling us that 

he started out with the Charlottesville Meals 

on Wheels and they perceived the need for 

it in Fluvanna County and thus started a unit 

here. 

He told us that one of the hardest jobs had 

been establishing a non-profit organization 

with the IRS. He said that although Meals on 

Wheels is a national organization each unit 

is independent. He said that the Fluvanna 

unit has six routes, 53 clients and 100 volunteers. 

The food is prepared by the Jefferson 

Board of Aging (JABA) in Charlottesville and 

then is individually packaged by volunteers 

at Effort Baptist church. The clients are not 

aged based but rather are need based. There 

is a 12 member board of directors who run 

the program. Fund raising is accomplished 

through churches and foundations. It costs 

approximately $75,000 a year. Deliveries are 

made Monday through Friday. Anyone wishing 

to help should contact them at 105 Crofton 

Plaza Suite B. 


The final speaker was Joyce Watkins who 

represented the Christian Outreach. They 

started in Buckingham County and they 

serve Buckingham, Fluvanna, Cumberland 

and Prince Edward counties. They receive 

no government funding. They are funded 

entirely through their thrift stores. They currently 

serve 415 families and 90% of their 

workers are volunteers. Last year they were 

able to help over 400 families pay their rent, 

mortgage or electric bill. Most of the families 

they help are working families who are 

victims of fire, abuse and other unexpected 

misfortune. In these harsh economic times 

many people are finding that their paychecks 

are not adequate for survival. Christian 

Outreach has two thrift stores – one is in 

Buckingham and the other is in Fluvanna on 

Joshua Lane in the CVS shopping mall. Joyce 

stressed that they are in dire need of a warehouse 

to store the donated goods. Anyone 

wishing to make a donation should contact 

Stacy at 434-589-9552. 

We wish to thank Don and Joyce for telling 

us about these worthwhile and important 

organizations. We hope they can continue to 

do their good work. 

Our social chairperson Carol Tracy announced 

that there will be a Patron Appreciation 

Day on Feb. 14. There will be refreshments 

and a chance to meet our dedicated 

library staff. It will be a great way to celebrate 

Valentine’s Day so come out and join 

the fun. 

Our next meeting will be on March 2. The 

speaker will be Patricia Castelli, resident historian 

of Keswick Hall. She is writing a book 

about the history of the Villa Crawford built 

in 1912 as a private residence. She gives 

tours at Keswick Hall and will be bringing 

photos that she uses for these tours while 

giving us some interesting details about the 

Villa. 

See you at the library.

Secretariat wins again 

By PaGe h. GiFFoRd 

Correspondent 

Another night at the movies at 

Fluvanna County Public Library 

and the room is filling up with 

each showing. This time is was 

Triple Crown threat Secretariat 

who drew the crowd at the recent 

showing on Feb. 4. 

For those who still enjoy a 

good, heartwarming story, Secretariat 

is inspirational on all 

levels and what one would expect 

from Disney. 

Those familiar with horse 

racing history know about the 

breathtaking record setting by 

one of the 

greatest stallions 

that 

ever raced 

and one of 

the few to 

win the Triple 

Crown. 

As Secretariat’s 

trainer told his owner 

Penny Chenery Tweedy, “I have 

seen great racehorses go down 

in the Belmont Stakes.” It was 

distance not speed that ended 

a horse’s chance at glory and 

remembrance. But in that final 

scene of Secretariat, the massive 

chestnut colt comes flying down 

the track, from beneath his hard 

driving beating hooves pounding 

the splaying mud and dirt of 

the track, he leaves behind his 

competition in a heart-pounding 

climatic race. For everyone 

in the audience, they cheered, 

reliving that moment 38 years 

ago when Secretariat made 

horse racing history. 

For his owner, Tweedy, it was 

a defining moment as well, 

proving a woman could make it 

in a man’s world at a time when 

women were emerging from a 

cocoon of complacency. Fueled

by her daughter’s concerns and 

protests, she realizes that her 

own identity is at stake. She sees 

in a Secretariat a way to preserve 

her family’s horse racing 

and breeding legacy and make 

a name for herself in the racing 

world. 

Together with Lucien Laurin, 

a trainer who wore loud colors, 

plaids and stripes, cursed 

in French and had a lousy golf 

swing but knew his trade, they 

brought up winners and returned 

the Virginia breeding 

farm to its former glory. 

One has the sense that Secretariat 

knows what the risks 

are and he 

would like 

n o t h i n g 

more than 

to beat his 

l o n g - t i m e 

o p p o n e n t 

Sham and 

win the Triple 

Crown. 

Seeing it from the horse’s perspective 

is touching and shows 

the human animal bond is alive 

and well. 

An interesting side-note; after 

Secretariat died in 1989, a 

necropsy revealed that his heart 

was twice the size of a normal 

horse, weighing in at 22 pounds. 

His nemesis Sham’s heart was 

18 pounds. Only the historic 

racehorse Eclipse, after he was 

necropsied after his death in 

1789, had a similar enlarged 

heart. Pedigree research verified 

that Secretariat was traced back 

to the daughter of Eclipse in his 

dam line. 

For those who want to relive a 

moment when winning literally 

meant the farm but to experience 

courage and faith, Secretariate 

wins the Triple Crown 

once again. 

For those who still enjoy a 

good, heartwarming story, 

Secretariat is inspirational on 

all levels and what one would 

expect from Disney.

Good tips from a Parisian 

singer turned handyman 

By Page H. giFFoRd 

Correspondent 

J.J. Bevilacqua and eric Haug. Photo by Page H. gifford. 

Many Parisians aspire to become chefs 

or dabble in haute couture or art but Jean 

Jaques Bevilacqua decided on a different 

line of work after a career as a professional 

singer composing his own songs. 

With his co-worker Eric Haug, the two 

manage a successful home improvement 

business known as Your Man Friday. 

How long have you lived in the U.S.? 

J.J. B: I have lived in the United States 

for fifteen years. I have lived at Lake 

Monticello since 2001. I am from Ouagadougou, 

Burkina Faso [formerly Upper 

Volta until 1961] on the Ivory Coast 

of Africa. My father was a French military 

colonial who was the comptroller 

of the hospital there. 

I had been married before but my 

second wife is American and I met 

her forty years ago. She speaks better 

French than I do. I had visited her in 

the states back in 1972. Anyway, I had 

returned to France and years later I 

came to the states for a visit and she 

visited me in France and eventually we 

married. 

For awhile I worked at the U.Va. 

bookstore but that was boring. I used to 

do some handyman work back when I 

was living in France and thought about 

doing that kind of work again so I started 

my business in 2003. 

What type of home improvements do 

you do? 

J.J. B: Everything but building. We will 

fix anything inside or outside, roofs, 

porches, decks, we do painting and remodeling. 

You are licensed. What class does 

your license cover? 

J.J. B: I am licensed and insured and 

I have a B and C and I am currently 

working on getting an A class license. 

Any contractor entering into a contract 

of $1,000 or more has to be licensed. 

There are those who are unlicensed 

and give good handymen and contractors 

a bad reputation. A lot of people do 

not know who they are and where they 

come from nor do they check their li- 

censes with the Department of Occupational 

and Professional Regulation 

[DPOR] or check for certifications and 

references. 

What do you do to ensure that 

customers are satisfied? 

J.J. B: I make sure I stand behind my 

work. In the contact I break down into 

detail all the labor, materials, parts, so 

the customer is aware of what he or 

she is paying for. Others may not include 

the parts or materials and only 

give an estimate and contract on labor 

but the customer will not know what is 

covered because it is not stated in the 

contract. Oftentimes, the job is left unfinished 

and the customer has already 

paid for materials or parts and then has 

to turn around and get another contractor 

to finish the job. What I do is 

the customer signs the contract agreement 

then when the work is done; if 

the customer is satisfied with the work 

then the customer will sign-off on the 

contract. If not then we make adjustments. 

My mission is to have a happy, satisfied 

customer. Customers who are happy 

will come back. We guarantee our 

work for two years. 

Who helps you in your work? 

J.J. B: Eric has been with me for a year 

and a half now. But if I need more than 

the two of us for a bigger job, then I will 

hire others but it is very difficult to find 

reliable workers. It has taken me seven 

to eight years to find the right people 

with the right skill level and there are 

only four that are qualified. 

Haug: For 20 years I did renovations up 

in Long Island, N.Y. But the cost of living 

was too much up there and I came 

down here. I like it here. 

Both love what they do and it shows 

in their enthusiasm for a job well done. 

J.J laughs and said, “If someone wants 

me to, I’ll sing French songs for them 

too.”

Winter cheerleading squad has a busy schedule 

By duncan nixon 

Correspondent 

The winter cheerleading squad at Fluvanna 

County High School may be smaller than the fall 

squad that is involved in cheerleading competitions, 

but it is busier. The winter squad consists of 

seven athletes who do coordinated cheers on the 

sidelines during boys’ and girls’ home basketball 

games. 

Because of weather problems early in the season, 

this cheer squad has performed two or three 

times a week as the regular basketball seasons 

wind down. In contrast, the fall cheerleading squad 

performs an array of lifts and tumbling passes, but 

does so only once a week, at football games. Of 

course, both squads also have their practice sessions 

during the season to make sure that they are 

in sync in their performances. 

The winter cheerleading squad does not have designated 

captains, but the upperclassmen assume a 

leadership role. Two seniors have been cheering for 

the past two years. They are: Casey Crawford, who 

provided the information of this article, and Kristin 

Palmateer. Juniors on the cheerleading squad are: 

Caitlin Jarvis and Kaila Cavanaugh. Jarvis and Cavanaugh 

have also been cheering for the past two 

years. Rounding out the squad this season are three 

freshman: Leigh Ann Perkins, Renee Byers and Raven 

Bransom. 

This year’s winter cheerleading squad was selected 

by Coach Tracey Howard-Gough based on 

pre-season tryouts. This is a completely different 

squad from the fall cheerleading squad, as no girls 

are on both rosters 

The cheerleaders are hoping that their season 

will be extended by the possibility of the boys’ basketball 

team advancing deep into the district and 

possibly the regional tournaments. The cheerlead-

and these tournaments will be held, away from 

the Shoebox. However, since these are post-season 

contests, it is possible that the cheer squad will at-

Two Fluvanna soccer stars signed letters 

of intent at a NCAA National Signing Day 

ceremony at Fluvanna County High School 

Wednesday (Feb. 2). 

Melissa Messier will be a Fighting Camel 

at Campbell University in Buies Creek, North 

Carolina. She is a mid-fielder. 

Taylor Rafaly will be a Keydet at the Virginia 

Military Institute in Lexington. He is a 

forward. 

Messier and Rafaly will receive scholarships 

to play soccer at their respective schools. 

Messier played four years of varsity soccer 

at Fluvanna, six years for the Soccer Organization 

of Charlottesville Albemarle (SOCA), 

and multiple years on the state Olympic Development 

Program (ODP) team. She intends 

to major in biochemistry and possibly go to 

medical school. She is the daughter of Bob 

and Anita Messier of Lake Monticello. 

Rafaly has played for Fluvanna for five 

years, two years on the state ODP team and 

one year for the United States Soccer Development 

Academy (USSDA) Richmond Strikers.

Fluco sports in review 

By Colby Goodson 

Wrestling 

Another sweat bead hits the mat, another bloody 

nose gets cleaned up, another memory is made. 

Such is the life of a Fluvanna County High School 

wrestler. And life has been good for the team, 

which is coming upon the end of a very successful 

season. 

The team was involved in a tri-meet Jan. 30 

where they came out victorious. The Flucos were 

pitted against two huge rivals: Western Albemarle 

and Greene County. The match came down to Fluvanna 

and Greene, and was ultimately won when 

Fluvanna’s Matt Linblad pinned a Greene County 

foe to seal a one-point win in the tournament. 

On Feb. 5 the Flucos competed in the district 

tournament. Before the event, junior Ben Lacey 

said, “I’m ready to go out there and put some guys 

on their back.” At the meet, the Fluco team finished 

third overall, 8 points behind Louisa. Finishers included 

Justin Zimmerman and Christian Chirico in 

first place in their respective weight classes, and 

Logan Walls, Ben Lacey, and Dareon Carrington, 

who all finished second in their respective weight 

classes. The Flucos now have nine wrestlers going 

to the regional tournament at Orange on Feb. 11 

and 12. 

Swimming 

The Fluco swim team has definitely made a big 

splash this year and opened many eyes. The team 

has already qualified nine people to the state meet 

in individual events, and also qualified a 200 medley 

and 200 boys’ relay team. 

The Flucos have five divers who have qualified 

for the state meet: Devon Stribling, Brice Campanelli, 

Yvonne Smith, Nicki Douma, and Melissa 

Messier. This is the first time the team has sent so 

many people to the dive event. “We have a lot of 

depth this year, which makes me very excited for 

the future,” said Coach Connie Banton. 

The district meet took place Feb. 5 and 6. The 

Flucos hosted the swimming portion of the district 

tournament at Fork Union Military Academy. 

The girls’ team placed third overall while the boys 

placed fifth. Some of the notable performers were 

Riley Scalzo who finished second in the 50 meter 

butterfly and the 200 meter freestyle relay team 

consisting of Riley Scalzo, Yvonne Smith, Carly 

Csapo, and Sierra Durham came in second. 

Girls’ basketball 

The girls’ basketball team did not start the season 

off like they wanted to, but in past weeks they’ve 

been on the upswing. The girls played Jan. 31 at 

home against Orange and came out victorious 

with a 38-37 point win. On Feb. 1 the girls were 

pitted against rival Monticello. The game ended in 

a nail-biting 29-28 loss. 

On Feb. 4 the girls lost to Western, and their last 

regular season game was Feb. 8 against Greene. 

They move on to districts on Feb. 11. The team has 

nothing to hang their heads about no matter what 

their record, as the team continues to go out game 

after game and fight until the end. “Regardless 

Fluvanna County HigH SCHool JournaliSm Program 

of the record, we are looking to finish the season 

strong,” said Coach Chad White. If the Flucos continue 

to play as impressively as they have in the 

past weeks, they have a shot at pulling out some 

important late season wins. 

Boys’ basketball 

The clock is running down on another successful 

season for the boys’ team. This is nothing new 

to the Flucos, who have dominated the competition 

this year. Up to this point, the team has posted 

a 20-1 record overall. 

On Jan. 31, the boys travelled to Orange County 

to take on the Hornets in a Jefferson District battle. 

The team came out on top with a final score of 76- 

71. YaYa Anderson was the leading scorer for the 

Flucos with 21 points, while Josh Hinkle posted a 

solid 14 points. 

The next night the Flucos stayed at home to 

take on the Monticello Mustangs, the only team to 

defeat the Flucos this year. Supported by a large 

home crowd in the Shoebox, the boys defeated 

the Mustangs 74-65. Anderson was the lead scorer 

with 24, Hinkle scored 11, and Aric Edmonds added 

another 9. 

On Friday Feb. 4, the team traveled to take on 

Western Albemarle. The team pulled out another 

win defeating Western 53-38. Once again Anderson 

was the leading scorer with 16 and Hinkle 

added 12. 

“What makes me proud is how unselfish the 

boys play and how they play as a team,” Coach 

Jason Davis said. The teams are scheduled to take 

on William Monroe Feb. 8, and the JV team has its 

championship game Feb. 10 at Monticello. Varsity 

begins district play on Feb. 11 in the Shoebox. 

In the mix of all the varsity team’s success, the 

JV team is slowly having a good year as well. The 

team is 14-3 overall and is currently on an 11-game 

winning streak. On Jan. 31, the boys defeated Orange 

31-30 and the next night defeated Monticello 

58-37. The team has now secured a spot in the Jefferson 

District JV championship game. 

Indoor track 

Putting in countless hours on the track is nothing 

new to the Fluco boys’ and girls’ indoor track 

team. The Flucos have had a very successful season 

so far which includes three people already 

qualifying for the state meet: Chance Parmly 

qualified in the pole vault, Greer Brown in the high 

jump, and Hannah Meador also in the pole vault. 

The Flucos are scheduled to compete in the 

district meet on Feb. 9. The team is looking to 

send more people to the regional and state meets 

and believe districts is their best chance to do so. 

The team has been involved in two meets in the 

past week. On Thursday Feb.3, the team went up 

against Albemarle, Western, Louisa, and FUMA. 

The next day the Flucos were involved in another 

meet in which the girls’ team placed a solid 

third with the boys coming in at fifth. Then Aesia 

Toliver came in first in the 55 meter dash while 

Parmly came in first in the pole vault. 

Colby compiled this information with oversight from 

coaches Nick Ward and Darren McCauley and with journalism 

teacher Elizabeth Pellicane.

Photographers capture the spirit of Old Farm Day

nt changes or not. (591-1000). 

Thanks! 




Old Farm Day photo contest winners 

again took some picture-perfect subjects 

at Old Farm Day 2010. The awards 

were given to the winners at an award 

ceremony on Jan. 28 at the Fluvanna 

County Public Library. 

Among the winners were photographer 

O.T. Holen for his Back in the 

Day, which won first place in the animal 

category. This was the only photo 

submitted by Holen, featuring a farmer 

in overalls talking to children 

about old techniques of farming. 

As always, Holen captures 

the spirit Old Farm Day, showing 

juxtaposition between the 

farmer and his plow horse who 

were a symbol of the past and 

today’s modern child, listening 

in on history. 

Kenneth Webb’s Mule Team, 

which won second in the animal 

category, was also notable. 

His composition is representative 

of what Old Farm Day is 

all about as a farmer pushes 

along his team of mules, plowing 

through the newly turned 

red clay. His colors are sharp 

and vivid as they are in his 

other winner Children Picking 

Potatoes. 

Honorable mention went to Philip 

Mayhew for his amusing and expressive 

Llama. 

Worth mentioning in the people category 

is Jan Altieri’s Hay Ride Driver. 

The candid photo is of a hay ride driver 

leaning on a big tractor tire and taking a 

break. The colors are sharp and vivid. 

Many of the children in the sixteen 

and under category show promise. Both 

Atlee Catlett and Megan O’Dell show 

they can handle a camera. O’Dell’s 

Plowing and Catlett’s Show Me How It 

Works feature good angles and focus 

Jan altieri’s winning photo “Hay Ride driver.” 

o.T. Holen’s first place photo “Back in the day.” 

Henry Chandler & 

Company 

on action. Plowing captures the sweeping 

landscape with a farmer plowing in 

the distance. Both subjects reflect the 

focus of Old Farm Day. 

All the photographers who participated 

deserve praise for their efforts 

as well. With a variety of skills and 

an eye for what they believe makes a 

great photo, these photographers truly 

captured some Kodak moments at Old 

Farm Day.
