Thirty One Thousand PlusOverall, the number of applications for a place in the UVA class of 2019 is nearly identical to the previous year, following a string of record-setting years. With final numbers in all categories expected in February, the preliminary numbers show that 31,107 completed applications by the deadline this year, compared with 31,336 the previous year. The target enrollment for this falls entering class is 3,675 students.

Efforts to attract students from families whose mem-bers have never attended college are bearing fruit at the University of Virginia. Preliminary analysis of appli-cations for admission received by the January 1 dead-line for the class of 2019 shows that applications from first-generation students increased by 12 percent com-pared with the previous year.We are very pleased that more and more first-generation students see U.Va. as a compelling option, Dean of Admission Greg Roberts said. This has been an area of emphasis as we work to grow awareness of the University to key potential applicants, including first-generation students and tra-ditionally underrepresented populations such as those with high financial need. First-generation applica-tions increased from 3,179 in 2014 to 3,552 this year. Applications from minority students held steady at 29.4 percent of the 31,107 first-year applications.

StampedThe U.S. Postal Service has proposed slight increases for mailing postcards and international letters but wants to leave first-class forever stamps at their present 49 cents. Under a filing with the Postal Regulatory Com-mission, letters to international destinations would rise from $1.15 to $1.20. Postcards would rise from 34 cents to 35 cents. If approved, the increases being proposed would become effective April 26. On first-class mail, every ounce over 1 ounce would cost an additional 22 cents, up from 21 cents.

The Postal Service said the requested price increases are the latest in a series of steps to achieve financial stability and by growing volume, revenue and contri-bution, the Postal Service will continue to meet Amer-icas mailing and shipping needs well into the future, the agency said in a statement. While improving ef-ficiency in streamlining its network and seeking leg-islative changes, the Postal Service must address an outdated business model, it added. The Postal Service receives no tax dollars for operating expenses. It relies on the sale of postage, products and services to raise the revenues needed to pay for its operations.

The last increase in first-class postage was a 3-cent boost to 49 cents that took place Jan. 26, 2014. Forever stamps bought now are good for first-class postage up to 1 ounce regardless of future rates.

Retired After 19 years with Keswick Hall, Nancy Holt, the Director of Tennis will be retiring at the beginning of February. Nancy has been instrumental at Keswick and grew programs from a handful of players to 8 USTA Adult League teams, NTRP rated 3.0, 3.5, 4.0 womens teams, a 4.0 mens team and a 7.0 mixed team. Happy travels Nancy!

THE BIG GAMESuper Bowl XLIX

When: February 1stWhere: Glendale, Arizona

This years Super Bowl will be held at Uni-versity of Phoenix Stadium, in 80 degree Glendale, for the second time on February 1st. For XLIX, there will be no weather con-cerns like there were for XLIII. With a listed capacity of 63,400, University of Phoenix Stadium will be the smallest host venue over the past six seasons. It will also leave almost 10,000 fewer tickets available than last years Super Bowl, which could lead to increased prices for Super Bowl tickets on the secondary market. The Seahawks will head to Arizona with a chance to become the NFLs first back-to-back Super Bowl cham-pion since 2005. Its fitting the team standing in their way is the Patriots, who are the last franchise to repeat as Lombardi winners. This will be the first time these teams play each other since Week 6 of the 2012 season. Katy Perry wont take the stage for the Pepsi Super Bowl XLIX Halftime Show by herself. Rocker Lenny Kravitz will accompany the pop superstar. Besides the game and the halftime show, probably the most anticipat-ed are the advertisements.

Youve heard of paint the town red or once in a Blue Moon - why not paint your fence yellow. A horse of a different color? No need for fences to be a black or white issue. Why not the color yellow? Yellow is one of the primary colors and is the brightest color on a basic color wheel. In psychology, yellow is the color of the mind and intellect. It is cheerful and optimistic.

NovemberEnter the world of foxhunting with our in-depth inter-view of Tony Gammell, Huntsman of the Keswick Hunt Club. The sport is as old as time and man and animals together on our planet. The interviewer, Elizabeth Del-aney, suggested that there is something spiritual about what Tony does, what the hounds do and what the fox does. To be able to read nature and communicate with these animals is otherworldly. It seems primitive. Its about the bond we all share with animals, and the pact they made coming here as a part of Gods plan.

Human partnership with hunting hounds is a funda-mental connection that dates back to prehistoric times, and so much more was wordsmithed into a comprehen-sive guide to the Blessing of the Hounds, the traditions and the origins, written by a contributor and local his-torian, Barclay Rives.

Good Tidings To All

KESWICKLIFE

In this issue


DecemberThe Wiley children were putting the lights on the tree in preparation for a festive holiday season filled with laughter, joy, generosity and goodwill to all. As we cel-ebrated this holiday season, we reflected on the gener-ous spirit of our fellow Keswickians and were thankful for the many kindnesses bestowed upon each other and the community.

Photo journals we packed with snaps from the Blessing of the Hounds and the Farmington Beagles at Clover-fields with the Juniors.

Joe Shields took us on a journey of discovery and natu-ral wonders at a quiet fishing hole in Shenandoah Na-tional Park. This was a must read; yes a story about fish-ing, but so much more about life and self-awareness; Pink Floyd and psychedelic red tail brookies.

God broke the mold after Chita hall was born and Tony wrote about it. The late Reverend Julie Norton had re-marked in her eulogy for Chita, I began seeing Chita the summer of 2002 because people thought she was about to die. Chita said, Julie only comes to see me beach she thinks Im dying. It was a not to miss article by Keswick Life columnist Tony Vanderwarker as he re-counted some of Chitas stories a rare glimpse into the life of this one-of-a-kind true Keswickian.

Lastly, the here and there in December was 10,000 read-ers read Keswick Life each month; 1 of each a bear, a coyote, a deer, a bobcat and a fox viewed at a recent Keswick Hunt Club meet; 1,400 oysters consumed at the KHC Oyster Roast; 5 Mondays and Saturdays and Sundays in December, which happens only once every 823 years.

Filmed in New York in March, the Food Network show Chopped featured Vandy and three other chefs compet-ing to cook appetizers, entrees and desserts with mystery ingredients for each round. One chef is chopped at each stage with the winner taking home a prize of $10,000.

Vandy, 33, the son of Anne and Tony Vanderwarker went to St. Annes and Franklin & Marshall before attending the French Culinary Insti-tute in New York to follow up on a lifelong interest in cooking. I started watching Yan Can Cook as a kid, Vandy explained, and I used to make his recipes. So after graduating college, I took the plunge into cooking full time.

Interning at Per Se, then working up the ladder at vari-ous restaurants in Manhattan for four years, he moved to Charleston to work at Fig as a line chef for Mike Lata, a nationally recognized chef who went on to open an-other restaurant, The Ordinary, also in Charleston.

Recently, Vandy moved from Fig to The Ordinary as Chef de Cuisine, helming the kitchen at one of the towns most noted and popular restaurants. I get fish-ermen calling me from their boats at four in the morn-ing with their latest catch and I make up our menu for that day with fish right out of the water, as fresh as you

can get. And I source our oys-ters from the best suppliers all over the world so theyre the tastiest in town.

Located in a former bank on King Street, the restaurant has a high ceiling, loft seating and the kitchen in the old bank vault complete with a thick vault door.

Chopped is the most popu-lar show on the Food Channel

with millions of viewers each episode. Vandys chal-lenge was particularly difficult as the mystery ingredi-ents included such delicacies as calves eyeballs.

Because the clock is running, Vandy says, you have to make split-second decisions about what youre go-ing to cook. Its really seat of your pants stuff. And some of the ingredients make it a real challenge. Its a real war on the set, plus its a fifteen-hour day so youre fried at the end. But Im delighted I won.

The show aired again Jan 15 at 8 PM, 16 at 3 PM and the 17th at 6 PM. The episode is also available on Amazon, search Chopped and then the episode titled: Viewers Choice.

WHATS COOKING

BY CHEF MICHAEL TURKlbr - Poached Eggs, Garlic Yogurt and Sage

There are records of lbr being eaten by Ottoman Sultans as far back as the 15th century. lbr is a Turkish dish of poached eggs with yogurt (often with garlic mixed in). It is now common to serve the dish topped with melted but-ter infused with Aleppo pepper, for which paprika can be substituted.

Ingredients: 4 large eggs (2 servings) 1 tbsp vinegar 1 cup yogurt (plain, thick) 2 cloves of garlic 1/4 cup butter (salted, plain) Ground cheyenne (substitute Aleppo) and paprika Sea salt and few leaves of sage

Directions:Bring a pot of water to a boil and add a dash of salt and vinegar. Next, lightly whisk the yogurt in a bowl, add crushed garlic, mix well - set aside. Carefully poach the eggs in the boiling water using a slotted spoon to delicate-ly cook to taste (yoke hard or soft). Scoop out the eggs carefully and set aside to cool slightly. Melt butter in a small pan, add cheyenne and paprika. Plate the rested eggs and cover with garlic yogurt sauce then splash with the sizzling butter-pepper mix. Garnish with leaves of sage, or chop the leaves coarse. Serve with warm pita bread.

Michael Turk is the chef-owner of the Turkish Street Foods Kitchen, a restauranteur and a food enthusiast. He specializes in Ottoman-Turkish cuisine and Kebabs. He owned and operated a food truck at UVa campus, an authentic Turkish restaurant in central Virginia and is available for catering.

12 KESWICK LIFE

It didnt take a neurological degree in vet-erinary medicine to know something was very wrong when my beautiful black and white Great Danes gait changed. Hagars long, lanky, Jimmy Stewartesque swagger had morphed into a Rose Bowl Parade float with a front flat. Two very expensive visits to the vet confirmed that something was in-deed wrong.

My two and half year old darling dog has Wobblers Syndrome, a neurological disor-der where the vertebrae triangulate for rea-sons unknown. The triangulation eventually causes pinching of the nerves and ultimately the spinal column. Although there are sur-geries, laser treatments, and pharmacologi-cal avenues to alleviate symptoms, there is no known cure.

The prognosis is a shorter life span with pa-ralysis a strong likelihood. Of course, I have just given you the worst-case scenario, be-cause its the nature of a drama queen. For-tunately it is not Hagars nature.

He is decidedly unaffected by his disorder, one could almost say oblivious. When we go for walks, he leads the way except down the drive where the gravel is thickest. It hurts his feet, but then it hurts his sisters feet, too. He races to the various groundhog dens to check for activity as he always did, arriving first. While he may not rip around the woods with the abandoned he once employed, there is no discontent. When he does hang back or tires he comes alongside me making it known that it is time to get his back scratched - one of the distinct

advantages of being and having a Great Dane - the perfect height for getting a back scratched in transit.

He has figured out how to conserve his ener-gy so that when we near the end of the walk, when we come out into a big field, he can run and romp with his sister with as much vigor and joy as always. If you didnt know there was something wrong you couldnt tell, unless of course, you choose to focus on it.

Quite possibly Hagar thought I needed more than one lesson on this particular subject:

focus, this time from the opposite vantage point. On our very next walk, we ran into a problem. The fences along our walk are elec-trified high tensile cattle fences. Hagar has hit those fences a time or two and had devel-oped a very healthy regard for them.

All of the gates along our walking path are electrified wire strung across the opening with a hook on a spring to keep the wire taught and hot. The springs on most of these gates are too tight for me to open easily, so I take a stick along so that I can hold the wire up for the dogs to go under. Hagars previ-ous experience makes him very cautious when approaching these gates. Trust would not be his first thought.

I lifted the wire. Two of the dogs ran right under. As luck would have it, Hagar had hung back. When I turned to coax him through, the wire slipped off the stick hit-ting him on the tail. Good Lord, you should have heard the wailing. He shrieked and whined like a ninny. I am almost certain he wasnt shocked, just scared. The bad news, there were four more gates along the path to home.

At this point, Hagars abiding credo was you can fool me once and thats on you, but fool me twice and thats on me so he was having nothing to do with any more of this going under wire, period. If he was going home, I was going to have to open the gate all of the way. Once the offending wire was cleared from his path, he would then streak through it shrieking as if he had been hit with a hot poker, which is why I dont believe he was shocked in the first place. We made it home, although, he whinged shamelessly through every gate since he was unable to take his focus off the earlier debacle - talk about a drama queen!

He absolutely refused to walk with me the next afternoon. Rather, he chose to stay at home and bark the entire time the other two dogs and I walked. I could hear him the whole time we were gone.

The next day I brought along a leash and led my now recalcitrant walker through the first gate. That was all it took. He zipped un-der wires without a second thought. He just needed a little patience to help him face his fears and poof they are gone in an instant.

If I cant take my focus off my problem, then all I need to apply is a little patience. Im learning, but it is hard to teach this old dog new tricks.

17 JANUARY 2015

My mother was a character, part whacko artist and part straitlaced Wasp, she would mortify me at social gatherings by having a few drinks and proceeding to stand on her head. Her dress would drop down over her face to reveal her undies. Face red, I stood there horrified at the sight of my mothers unmentionables on full display.

On the other hand, when I told her we had decided to name our farm Chop-ping Bottom, her response was, Well, I like the first part.

Having grown up in the Depression, my mother was tighter than a tick and would never throw anything out. Instead she would glue it. Patty glued everything and glued them poorly. Many things in the house were joined caddywompus, bent, offset, cracked and stuff often fell apart in your hands when picked up. Another Patty glue job, youd think to yourself.

Cut to years later. One sunny Keswick day we noticed that the rear window of our convertible had come loose, two thirds of it were unattached from the fabric top. The dealer said they didnt re-

pair convertible tops and referred us to a business in town.

The two good old boys who were loung-ing in dilapidated armchairs in front of their establishment jumped to their feet when I drove in as if to say, Heres an-other sucker with a broken back window that we can take to the cleaners.

When I pointed out the problem, one said, Sure, we can fix that. Fix it good. Itll cost you but not half as much as a new top.

How much? I asked.

Two thousand three hundred, one of the guys, who was missing a lot of teeth, said.

Thanks, I said, and beat a hasty retreat. That was an obscene amount of money and Im cheap, not as cheap as Patty, but cheap nevertheless.

On the internet I quickly found a guy whod repaired a Corvette back window and had pictures and instructions on his website. The glue he recommended was Rhino Glue. In fact he was clear about

only using Rhino Gluenothing else would do.

So I ordered the Rhino Glue and the oth-er stuff he recommended. Total outlayunder thirty bucks. So far, so good.

His procedure was to Rhino Glue the edges of the window where it came in contact with the fabric top, then using suction cups and rope, sling the rope up through the garage door opener channel and tie it down so the suction cups creat-ed a tight seal between the window and the convertible top.

I left the jury-rigged contraption to set for the prescribed two hours hoping my investment and the guys instructions would pay off.

When I loosened the rope and took off the suction cupsEureka! I found the window was firmly cemented in place. I became an immediate convert to Rhino Glue. After all, it had saved me over two thousand bucks.

When I cracked the front side panel of my Prius, I thought, Maybe Ill try the Rhino Glue. When it worked, I became a true believer. Jeez, if it can hold a car fender to-gether, it can glue any-thing. I glued my broken eyeglasses, I glued my night brace one of my dogs had chewed in half. I glued the ear back on the Mexi-can sculpture the housekeeper had bust-ed off. I glued loose frypan handles, glid-ers on chair legs, I was gluing left and right. Even had to order a second batch of Rhino Glue.

I glued soles back on shoes, the wind-shield of my Gator which Anne busted

going under a low-hanging branch. I glued the stand that held the tray tables Annes mom had bought with Green stamps. I was a gluing fool.

But the best one was when the shower handle came off in my hand one day, completely broke off. The problem, the shower head, handle and feed pipe were one piece, from some fancy bath shop in New York. And there was no way to re-place the handle. Were talking two grand for a whole new feed pipe and spigotno way. The answer: get the Rhino Glue.

I drilled a hole in the base of the handle and another in the whatchamagiggy it was attached to then cut a piece of metal rod and glued the two together so the handle was reattached. When it was dry, I called Anne to admire my handiwork.

Watch, I said, as I proudly turned the handle.

Water came pouring out of the shower head but the handle would only go half way around.

Oh, great, Anne said, now we have no hot water.

Turns out the hole I had drilled for the metal rod was too deep and the rod was keeping the handle from moving into the hot position.

You better unglue that fast and fix it, was all she said.

Fortunately, the glue had not set and I was able to pull the handle off, shorten the rod and reglue it. The shower now works like new. Another couple grand saved--all because of Rhino Glue.

So Tonys become a devout gluer--just like his mom. Go figure.

Its just too bad Patty never had a chance to use Rhino Glue. It would have made her a very happy lady. Might have even done a handstand over it.

The Virginia Historical Society is pleased to announce that Altria Group hasagreed to sponsor the VHSs newest exhibit, Dressing Downton: ChangingFashion for Changing Times.The nationally touring exhibit will run from October 2015 through January 2016 andwill be shown in the VHSs newly created changing exhibition space, one of the projectgoals of its $38-million Story of Virginia Campaign.

The exhibition consists of 35 costumes and accessories from the popular PBSMASTERPIECE Classic program. Visitors will be able to explore the lives of Downtonsaristocratic inhabitants and their servants during the World War I period.

Altria has a long history of support for the arts, said Jack Nelson, Executive VicePresident and Chief Technology Officer, Altria Group, and Board Vice Chairman,Virginia Historical Society. And we are pleased to support the Virginia HistoricalSociety as it brings traveling exhibitions like Dressing Downton to our hometown.This exhibition will be a great draw for residents and visitors alike.

We are excited to have Altria Group sponsor this nationally touring exhibition ofDownton Abbey costumes, said Paul Levengood, President and CEO of the VirginiaHistorical Society. There are many real-life American connections to Downton Abbey,and this exhibition complements the VHS mission to bring our history to life. Duringthe late 19th century, and right up to the outbreak of World War I, hundreds of Americanwomen visited England and Europe hoping to marry aristocrats. The series character,Lady Cora, the Countess of Grantham is one such American woman.

The exhibition and the two major exhibitions that follow it are part of the $38-millionStory of Virginia Campaign, of which more than $31 million has been raised.

The Story of Virginia Campaign is designed to help the VHS better utilize portionsof its existing facility. This will allow for the display of even more of the Societyscollections as well as hosting more and larger events and exhibitions.

Future changing exhibitions will include The Art of Seating: 200 years of AmericanDesign, which will feature works by John Henry Belter, George Hunzinger, HerterBrothers, Stickley Brothers, Frank Lloyd Wright, Charles & Ray Eames, Isamu Noguchi,and Frank Gehry and many more.

Pro Football Hall of Fame: Gridiron Glory, another upcoming VHS changingexhibition, will highlight such storied objects as the Super Bowl trophy, a 1917 gameball used by Jim Thorpe and the Canton Bulldogs, Tom Dempseys famous kickingshoe created for his half foot, Mean Joe Greenes jersey, and more than 200 other itemsfrom the sports rich history, normally housed at the Pro Football Hall of Fame.Admission to each of these special exhibitions is free for Virginia Historical Societymembers.

The Altria Group sponsorship of Dressing Downton: Changing Fashion for Changing Timesis part of a $250,000 total commitment that also includes support for the installation of a newStory of Virginia exhibition, which is slated to open in late summer 2015. Altria Group hasbeen a major supporter of the VHS and the Story of Virginia exhibition since its first iterationin 1992, as well as leading the charge for its transformation to an online exhibition in the early2000s. Altria Groups most recent commitment will help the Virginia Historical Society makeVirginias history relevant, exciting, and accessible to present and future generations.

KESWICKLIFELets you in on life in Keswick

Read

19 JANUARY 2015

I normally like to be light-hearted, amusing readers with tales of life in Keswick. But I cant find anything funny about 231. So bear with me.

Think of it as the spinal cord connecting our commu-nity, sixteen miles of twisty, winding, loop-de-loop navigating between the stubborn shale formations on the south and the lush clay to the north, turning some of the most gorgeous countryside in the world into post-card after postcard of stunning vistas.

Not only one of the most beautiful roads in the world, its no surprise that its also incredibly historic. Imagine Mr. Jefferson riding Caractacus down our road to visit the Walkers at Castle Hill thinking of how he was going to disengage the colonies from British rule. Or Jack Jou-ett galloping down the road to warn the members of the Continental Congress that the redcoats were coming. Think of William Cabell Rives in his buggy riding into Charlottesville wondering if he was going to be Van Bu-rens running mate in the presidential election of 1835 (he wasnt) or Lady Bird Johnson touring the road as part of her campaign to beautify Americas highways.So steeped in history, such a purveyor of marvelous views, yet nowadays not only the spinal cord, but the artery providing a conduit for 13,000 cars and trucks a day traveling from north to south, bringing people to work at the University, to shop at Pantops or Charlot-tesville, to access 64 or even just to take in the scenery.Those of us who live on 231 are daily reminded not just of the roads unique character, but also of its perilous nature. Banged-up guardrails, swishy tire marks on the pavement, bark stripped from trees, dead deer on the roadside, sirens blazing in the night, traffic backed up for miles after deadly accidents--are too frequent re-minders of how dangerous driving on 231 can be. In fact, according to VDOT records, theres been one fatal-ity a year in the past three.

Id bet that there isnt a single resident along 231 who doesnt have multiple horror stories of near misses on 231, accidents avoided by luck and the grace of the big guy upstairs.

My wife Anne was stopped at the entrance to Chopping Bottom waiting to make a left when she suddenly saw a car cresting the hill at Clarks Tract and tearing down at her going sixty. She sat there helpless, certain the car was going to smash into her, when finally the driver woke up.

Somehow riding up onto the embankment of Cismont Manor, keeping two wheels on the road and straddling the ditch, the car sailed around her, its side door falling open and a child almost tumbling out. Did the car stop? What do you think? Probably consumed with getting to the Giant and picking up something for dinner before heading into work.

Anne was so shaken she insisted that I go out and in-spect the tire marks on the bank. Not that I didnt be-lieve her, but it was a grim reminder of how close she had come to a fatal or near-fatal accident.

More bad news. The godfather of our road system, VDOT, in its infinite wisdom, made sure that the bridge at Shadwell carrying 64 traffic over our road had space to accommodate two additional lanes. And some years

back, VDOT had incorporated the four-laning in their Five Year Plan. While its not included in present plans, its in the back of their minds.

No matter that 231 is a Virginia Scenic Byway, forget about the numerous easements up and down 231, to hell with the wishes of the residents along the road, if VDOT decides its in the Commonwealths best interest to widen it, get out of the way of the bulldozers because four-lane it they will.

Maybe it would take, God forbid, a sixteen-wheeler colliding with a school bus, or Walmart, UPS and the trucking lobby buying off some politicians, or a perfect storm of everything to trip the switch. Couldnt happen here? Taking bets right now. Look what happened with the 29 Bypass, resurrected in the middle of the night (literally) after it had been shot down by VDOT, the Army Corps of Engineers and the Board of Supervisiors by out-of-the-area politicians in-tent on paying off campaign promisesnot from their constituents in Albemarle, but from Danville and Roa-noke.

Tear down a magnificent piece of architecture like Penn Station and replace it with an undistinguished hock-ey rink and basketball arena? Rip up a historic black neighborhood, discarding years of history and culture like rubbish and putting up a forgettable federal build-ing and characterless hotel in its place? Vinegar Hill is now only a page in the history books.

Its often unbelievable what we are capable of doing to our treasured past. And thats why a group of us got together to draft an alternative to four-laning 231.

We raised $40,000 from the community, hired an expert traffic engineer and set him to work. Because the truck-ing lobby is so influential in Richmond, theres no hope of prohibiting trucks from using the road. The best weve been able to do (thanks to John Moore) is to lower the speed limit to 45. And thats difficult for the county

to enforce because of the lack of pull-offs.

So our traffic experts best advice was an a la carte se-ries of traffic calming measures, not to limit traffic but to slow it down. His primary conclusions were that the road surface is too smooth so drivers get no feedback from tire noise on how fast they are going. And with multiple pavings, the roadway surface has been raised so theres often only six inches of roadside before a driver is in the ditch.

With little awareness of how fast you are going and no margin of safety on the sides, its no wonder that so many drivers find themselves off the road, or having to swerve back on and collide with another vehicle. Anne was almost knocked off the road by a trailer weaving across the center line after the pickup truck towing it overcorrected and sent it swaying all over the place.

Many of the traffic engineers other suggestions are included in the study now up on: www.albemarle.org/.../R.10.15_Rural_Traffic_Calming.pdf. The Board of Supervisors plans to include it in the revised Com-prehensive Plan so it will be a resource not just for Kes-wick but for other rural areas in the county as well.

While none of it may ever be imple-mented, as one of our donors put it, At least we have a plan in case someone gets the idea of messing with our road. In the meantime, thanks to Peter Taylor, we continue our annual cleanup of the roadway and were looking into a camera system that would record oversize trucks on the road and/or radar speed monitoring signs. And Robin Ellis, who lives across from the post office and sees oversize trucks up close and personal, encour-ages residents to report offenders to the county police by calling 434 977-9041. Give them a plate number and trucking company name if possible. The more people who call, the more the issue will be taken seriously by the county.

See you next time. And in the meantime, remember; lean on your horn if you dont like yellow.

ON EXHIBITLucian Freud

U.VA. FRALIN MUSEUM OF ART EXHIBITS WORK OF CELEBRATED PORTRAITISTThe majority of his works were of peo-ple, often shown nude, with an intense concentration on the texture and color of flesh. His oeuvre includes images of men, women, fellow artists, family mem-bers, those on the outskirts of society, and celebrities ranging from the Queen of England to Kate Moss all of which show the art of someone whose penetrat-ing gaze could reveal the very soul of the sitter.

These are the portraits of British artist Lucian Freud (1922-2011), a grandson of Sigmund Freud who achieved inter-national renown as one of the greatest painters of the 20th century.

Beginning Friday and running through April 19, The Fralin Museum of Art at the University of Virginia will host the exhibit, Lucian Freud: Etchings.

Freud exhibits of any sort are infrequent, so this will be an opportunity to expe-rience the work of one of the most im-portant artists of the post-World War II period.

For over seven decades, Freud has been widely celebrated for
