A group of knitters at Palmyra United Methodist Church has joined together to make shawls for those who are ill or undergoing surgery, much as a similar group at Cunningham United Methodist Church have. The Palmyra group has only been in existence for three months, and calls itself Hands United by Hearts — HUGS for short. Many of the knitters are seasoned or self taught and some crochet. The shawls they make are woven in a variety of colors or variegated yarns, large or small, for men or women, square or triangular. The shawl is usu- ally large enough to wrap around one’s shoulders, or to drape over one’s head, creating a sacred space in which to meditate and pray. At a recent meeting, the discussion centered on sewing in appropriate woven labels. Currently, one of the Peggy Utterback, Joyce Pannazzo and Clara Cohrs knitting members of the group is cutting out shawls for a good cause. Photo by Page H.

Abstain: Weaver process of forming an authority and petitioning the local governments to establish it impossible. It could also make moot any referendum, since a Circuit Court judge must approve any such proposal. County Attorney Fred Payne, meanwhile, suggested that might not happen in time for Nov. 2, since state law sets strict limits on what is appropriate for a referendum. Adding to the pressure is that Fluvanna officials also learned that if the James River Water Authority agreement is terminated, the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality might rescind the James River water withdrawal permit. That could affect Fluvanna’s long- term water supply plans to serve cus- tomers in other parts of the county. Fork Union Military Academy’s John Jackson told the supervisors that the Fork Union Sanitary District’s wells are already straining to meet demand – so much so that he asked the board to consider drilling more as a stop- gap measure.

Supporters Rally for Phil Browning Field

Friends and family of the late Phil Browning will urge school officials this football season to name the new high school athletic field after the former head football coach. Supporters want Browning recognized for his many contributions to Fluvanna County. Browning was a Fluvanna educator, athletic director, and winning football and track coach from 1968 to 1984. Proponents are providing a sample letter to garner support. The letter reads in part: “Phil provided leadership and invested a great deal of effort in leading the process of integration in our schools, not only for student-ath- letes, but for the general student population. In addition, he was a pioneer in forming women’s teams during a time when women’s athletics was in its infancy.” 109 Crofton Place Letters of support can be sent to [email protected].

For the second time the staff and children at ABC Preschool and their families have donated much needed items for the cats and dogs at the Fluvanna SPCA. This time, the new shelter director, Chris Roberson, came to accept the gift and brought a friend along to entertain the children. The FSPCA’s goodwill ambassador Daisy, a sweet young adult Beagle mix, greeted the children, wag- ging her tail, licking and nuzzling. The children, quite taken with Daisy, returned the affection by pet- ting her. The staff also enjoyed visiting with Daisy. Daisy is one of many dogs currently at the FSPCA and seeking a home to call her own. The dog and cat food, toys, cat litter, and other items donated by families participating in the drive will benefit all of Daisy’s friends back at the shelter. Roberson thanked the staff and the children who participated in helping the animals. “This is extremely generous of you,” said a grate- ful Roberson. Roberson’s goal is to do more community out- reach. He thinks he and Daisy make a good team — that is unless someone would like to give Daisy a home of her own. To make a donation, contact the Fluvanna SPCA at 591-0123 or visit them at 5239 Union Mills Road in Troy. FSPCA Director, Chris Roberson introduces Daisy to students at ABCPreschool. Photo by Page H.

Lake Monticello maintenance staff are working to remove branches and brush that obstruct street signs and sight-lines in the community. They are also removing the branches that hang down and hit the top of trucks and school buses, as well as those that have created safety hazards in the past when pushed to the ground by heavy snow. Over the past week, maintenance crews have worked from the maintenance building on Jefferson Drive to the main gate, covering both sides of the road, as well along one side of the road from the main gate to Riverside gate. The work will take several more weeks to complete. There will likely be one- way traffic in the work zones.
