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?
– MargieStrickland
