EXPLANATION: This would require the General Assembly to legally exempt from local taxation the principle residence of any veteran with a 100 per- cent service connected, permanent and total dis- ability. This would also apply to the veteran’s sur- viving spouse with some qualifications. Currently this tax relief is not specifically granted to veterans by the Constitution.

FluvannaReview.com Putting Out Propane Fires

Firefighters from Fluvanna and Louisa counties attended a two day liquid propane safety and firefighting class on Oct. 23 and 24 held at the Palmyra Volunteer Fire Department by the Virginia Department of Fire Programs. Firefighters learned about the properties of propane and how to best attack a propane fire. Firefighters later practiced putting out fires at the high school overflow parking lot with the aid of a propane simulator tank. Tiger Fuel Co. assisted with the program. Photos by David Stemple.

Welcome to Our World After an international conference was held in Washington, DC, 22 Friendship Force ambassadors were welcomed by Central Virginia Friendship Force club members at their Lake Monticello, Keswick, Gordonsville, Ivy, and Charlottesville homes. Bob Schwagerl of Keswick, served as homestay coordinator. A dinner was held at the Lake Monticello club house on Wednesday, Oct. 20. Ambassadors were present from Canada, Japan, Albania, Hertfordshire, Australia, and various states. The previous week, the club had hosted 20 members from Somerset, United Kingdom; Helen Ida Moyer of Charlottesville, served as inbound exchange coordinator. The hectic two weeks can best be summarized by club President Walt O’Connell in an e-mail to members: “We did it!!! Many thanks to Helen Ida Moyer and Bob Schwagerl who prepared great programs to extend the hospitality of Central Virginia to our guests and to introduce them to the history and beauty of our part of the world.” Friendship Force International is a non-profit exchange organization ded- icated to the principle that each person can make a contribution to global goodwill. The club always welcomes new members interested in building global goodwill through personal friendships (www.ffc.avenue.org). Betty Starr from Lincoln, Nebraska; Patsy O'Connell from Lake Monticello; The next outbound exchange planned is to Azerbaijan and Georgia in and Shirley Anne Twerdun from Winnipeg, Manitoba Canada.

Many activities will have their own facilities. Sports such as wrestling will be overjoyed with their new wrestling room, no longer having to jockey with other teams for a place to practice every day. The drama department will gain an auditorium that will happily seat 998 people. Sound like an odd num- ber?

Putting the “Home” Fluco Cheerleaders Second in District in Homecoming

BY BRIANNA GOODE, FLUVANNA COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL JOURNALISM PROGRAM

Several traditions are carried out at Fluvanna County High School the week of Homecoming. Spirit Week, the pep rally, the big game, and of course, the dance are all events students look forward to each and every year. Last year, the Flucos decided to kick-off the new tradition of a pre-game parade. The response was decent, but this year FCHS would like to make the event more extravagant. Anyone and everyone is invited to join in the festivities. On Friday, Oct. 29, starting at 6:30 p.m., the pre-game parade will go from Central Elementary to Central Plains Road and back again. Viewers will be treated to a variety of attractions including floats from the freshmen, sophomore, junior, and senior classes, Fluvanna Middle School, FCHS class officers, the cross country and JV football teams, and the marching band. Superintendent Gena Keller, the FCHS baton twirlers, and Fluvanna heroes such as local fire departments and the Marines will also be there. “It should be a fes- tive Fluco time for Fluvanna,” said student gov- Contributed by Elizabeth Liles ernment advisor David Small.
