VIEWS
LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Virginia legislators are stealing my vote
With all of the angst of the Democrats in Richmond attempting to suppress our second amendment rights, the House of Delegates is attempting to steal our votes for president. House Bill 177 is designed to force Virginians to have their Electoral College votes go to whoever wins the national popular vote. Not the Virginia popular vote — the national popular vote.
So if the majority of Virginians vote for a candidate for president, the law would force our Electoral College votes potentially go to another candidate altogether. So the states like New York and California, could actually determine Virginia’s Electoral College votes.
Allow me to be clear, this is all about Hillary Clinton winning the popular vote and not winning the Electoral College. In other words, it is about sore losers attempting to corrupt the system. It is a fit of childish bitterness aimed at erasing the Electoral College that our Founding Fathers established. They did not desire the popular vote to determine the presidential winner because it gave too much power at the time to Boston, Philadelphia, and New York. Our current suite of leftist legislators believe they are somehow smarter than our Founding Fathers. I assure you, they are not.
What this does is steal my vote. To say I am pissed off about this would be an understatement.
The voting right of each person is what the Democrats in Richmond are stomping on. Consider this, 100% of Virginians could vote for Candidate A, but 100% of our Electoral College votes could go to Candidate B if he/she wins the national popular vote. This means that my constitutional endowed vote could be stolen and given to someone I did not vote for. My ability to represent myself is being taken from me and from you as well. Plain and simple, the Virginia Democratic Party in our state attempting to hijack our votes and spit on our rights. We should have come to expect this behavior from a party that is burning up the second amendment, who has a lying governor and a sexual predator for a lieutenant governor. Like Obamacare, this is being forced down our throats by one party totally in charge of the state government. And like Obamacare, it is fundamentally wrong. Virginia Democrats are attempting to ensure, at a state level, that Donald Trump will not win the 2020 election. They are so feebly desperate, they are willing to take away the power of our votes to do so. It is wrong…no…it is evil.
The framers of our great nation felt that a national popular vote was not the way to elect a president. The Electoral College was designed to ensure that individual voices and votes were carried forward in a fair and just way.
If you want California and New York to determine the Presidency, then you are advocating the stealing of my vote. If you support this lunacy, you believe you are more intelligent than the people that built this great nation. If you support House Bill 177, you are attempting to illegally negate my vote.
I will not stand by idly while this happens, nor should you. This should be taken to court. More importantly, we need to replace these idiotic ideologue Democrats in office in our great state so that laws like this do not pass.
Blaine Pardoe Amissville Yowell Meadow Park needs Charter of Freedom monument
What we know as Yowell Meadow Park once served for military musters and encampments in two wars by three armies. If there was enough space for such intense activity then, there is certainly more than enough room now for the Charters of Freedom monument. The setting is not only adequate, but wonderfully appropriate. The park is a favorite of my grandchildren. When they visit, I want them to see this monument honoring the founding documents right beside the monument honoring those who fought to make the founding possible. I urge the Town Parks and Recreation Commission to return to their original approval of these two monuments in Yowell Meadow Park.
Nancy J. Rice Culpeper Team Jordan thanks those who contributed at Dec. 4 fundraiser
On behalf of all of the members of Team Jordan, I would like to thank everyone who contributed to our recent fundraiser held on December 4, 2019. Team Jordan, in collaboration with Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services, is a suicide prevention coalition committed to providing resources to those most at risk and also to surviving loved ones after a tragic event has occurred.
Because of the generosity of many local businesses and individuals, this latest fundraising effort was hugely successful. The proceeds raised will be used to further our outreach efforts and educate our community about reducing the risk of suicide. There are countless people to thank for their various contributions. Whether you helped sell raffle tickets for Team Jordan or purchased them, donated your valuable time in some way, made a monetary gift, attended our event or made any of the other forms of donations we received, I sincerely thank you. Your generous contributions mean Team Jordan and RRCS can reach more people and educate them on how to better recognize someone at risk, learn where to get help, and to offer the vital support to surviving loved ones and friends.
The community support and attendance of this year’s fundraiser was bigger than ever, which means there is an ever-increasing number of people in the community who are committed to suicide prevention. There is nothing greater that one can do than to contribute to a community’s well-being, and your very generous help will certainly be felt by those who need it, when they need it most. And if you were not able to join us on December 4th, there’s always next year’s event -or you can contribute anytime by sending your donation to Team Jordan, PO Box 773, Culpeper, VA 22701.

Rappahannock Hunt Races Celebrate Return March 7 with a new course
By Lauren R. Giannini
Steeplechasing enthusiasts and fans of Downton Abbey are invited to make plans to enjoy the exciting spectacle of beautiful horses racing over fences on Saturday, March 7, when Rappahannock Hunt Races, which last ran in 2008, kick off the 2020 Virginia Point-to-point Association season at The Hill Farm on Route 522 North, just outside Culpeper.
Jump racing on natural terrain is great fun to watch and you can't help getting excited, cheering for "your" horse to win, but first you have to get to the course. Your outing becomes a special adventure when you find yourself driving along a farm lane that leads you into a glorious expanse of open countryside with mind-boggling views of the horizon where the Blue Ridge Mountains meet the sky.
It’s so easy to organize a party of family, friends, and business associates. You can choose general admission (GA) at $7 per head or the discounted book of 10 GA tickets for $50, both options with free parking and a short walk to the course. Food trucks and vendors will be on site if you don’t feel like toting picnic baskets and coolers.
Reserved parking with premium and direct views of the course provide another terrific way to enjoy your day at the races. Patron Parking ($125) and Railside Parking ($125) put your party of four in a pre-assigned parking place. Have a huge guest list? No worries purchasing additional GA tickets ($7 per person) or that discounte book of 10. will get all your besties to the party. Another option is Side-by-Side Parking: $225 reserves two adjacent parking spaces an four occupants per vehicle and GA tickets for additional guests.
There’s also an option for tent parking ($175) with parking for one vehicle with four occupants, but you have to provide your own tent, maximum 10x10. Note: no dogs allowed, for safety reasons.
Steeplechase Tailgate Party 101
What To Wear: it helps to be prepared for extremes in weather, so get updated forecasts, and remember that layering is the best bet. Country casual covers a wide variety of fashion, and rural styles bring sophisticated practicality to your sartorial splendor. Plan on waterproof and warm outer layers and several light layers that are easy to remove. Pack along extra socks and wear waterproof boots that protect you from puddles, mud, snow. Don’t forget gloves, scarves, neck-warmers.
Hats are more than a fashion statement: wearing one prevents the loss of 50 percent of your body heat. Even if you’re not a shopaholic, be sure to stop by Rappahannock Hunt’s tent and check out the sporting selection of apparel with distinctive running fox logo.
Food and Drink
Your tailgate picnic, fancy or casual, is up to you.
If you’re attending general admission and you don’t feel like carrying picnic basket or cooler, food trucks and vendors will be on site. If you reserve a tailgate parking space, it’s easy to put on the ritz or keep it simple. If you’re a guest at someone’s tailgate, it’s nice to offer to bring something, but some enthusiasts are serious DIYers – just go and have a good time.
Hosting? Keep a list of who and what: bouillon, coffee, wings, ribs, fried chicken, various salads, deviled eggs, ham biscuits, brownies — everyone has a favorite dish to share. If you bring adult beverages, please remember to designate a driver s that your fun day at the races doesn’t end with flashing lights.
The Venue: The Hill, situated on Durantes Curve (Rt. 522) in Boston, VA, is extremely well named, offering sensational views of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Driving through The Hill to the new course is like going back in time: all you can see is natural countryside and distan mountains that span the horizon like slumbering dragons.
Post time is 1 p.m. for the program of timber and flat races. Gates open at 10:30 a.m. You don’t have to know horses to enjoy an exciting day of racing over fences amidst breathtaking views and spacious skies ... like scenes from Downton Abbey, but live.

CURTAIN CALLS Maggie Lawrence A man who’s been shot in the abdomen with a shotgun isn’t going to last an hour without medical help, much less a night and day sitting up in a pickup truck. Serious suspension of disbelief aside, by the time we get to this part of “Mother Road”, it’s just a matter of what will kill William Joad, not if. It’s certain he has to die, because that’s the only way Martin Jodes can inherit the Oklahoma farm.
Octavio Solis’s two and a half hour play owes its inspiration to Steinbeck’s “The Grapes of Wrath” in much the same way that “Clybourne Park” spun off of “A Raisin in the Sun”. It’s a case of “let’s pretend sixty years have passed and this is what happened.”
In Steinbeck’s classic Depression-era novel, the Joad family faced a long series of setbacks and losses as they escaped the dustbowl of Oklahoma along Rt. 66, the east-west highway that Steinbeck termed the “mother road.” Their goal was California, land of opportunity and promise – or at least jobs. But their arrival merely exchanged one set of hardships for another. Always there was the taint of being “Okies”, that white, dirt poor farm class often treated no better than a swarm of locusts. “Mother Road” begins with an aging William Joad, grandson of Tom Joad, searching for the only other direct descendant of the family so that he can turn over the deed to the Oklahoma farm and die in peace. The fulcrum of the entire play begins with his discovery that the relative he seeks is a young Mexican-American man named Martin Jodes. For the next two hours, this journey will be punctuated with memories, vignettes, and disputes mostly centered on who has the greater claim to victimhood – from nature, society, life itself.
Directed by Bill Rauch, “Mother Road” is a presentation of the Oregon Shakespeare Festival and features most of the same fine actors and design team. Mark Murphy as the wiry, dust-bit William Joad radiates the defiant anger of a man who has had enough of life’s foolishness. His immediate conflict is between keeping the farm in the family and accepting that “the family” is now Mexican. Tony Sancho in a fine portrayal of Martin Jodes negotiates the thin line between wanting to accept this unexpected piece of good fortune and rejecting the gut level prejudice with which he is met. Their shared stories of hardship and loss – and a bizarre side trip
– solidify the bond which eventually unites them.
Martin’s cousin, Mo, (Amy Lizardo) joins the trip and adds a strong primary color of street “cred” and humor. Nothing seems to shift her very far from her base of self confidence and her understanding that life is a wily opponent, and she has to be ready.
Kate Mulligan plays three roles, but as Ivy the waitress, and William’s mother in flashback, she is stunningly clear. The underfed body in a loose, faded dress, the wisp of hair and the small flash of flinty stoicism is the very portrait of prairie women who were forced to become migrants.
Scenes in past and present interrupt the narrative with a graphic explanation of the history that drives them. A dust storm comes, and father Tom (Ted Deasy) has ropes attached to the house so that he won’t be lost. A motel run by Hispanics who “hate gringos and Okies” won’t allow them to stay because of the Joad name. That lead foot on the accelerator of “social justice” keeps driving the play, but younger generations heal from their parents’ memories even as William remarks, “Old ghosts turn up.”
“Mother Road” relies heavily on a chorus of players who appear as incidental ranch hands, cooks, and State Troopers, as well as road markers, cassette players, juke boxes, and vending machines. This last, where actors stand in for inanimate objects, is so playful as to be comic. I have no objection to a startled laugh, but it contributes to a sense that the play is searching for a tone, and in an effort to cover all bases, is in danger of losing direction.
Another sweeping tone change comes in the frequent choral recitations. A good half hour could have been lopped off by eliminating this overused college drama class device. Actors shouting “Mile marker! Mile marker!” aren’t necessary for making us understand that the Joads are traveling on a highway. Especially when the two large screens suspended above the arena stage show highway going by.
Christopher Acebo’s set design must accommodate the special problems of theatre in the square, and for the most part succeeds. A diagonal highway cuts through the center of a dirt colored floor with two boulders, and barely noticeable hill-shaped cutouts line the four sides. Those projection screens do what they can to support the time and place, but swiftly placed and removed area staging – pickup truck bed, diner seats, motel beds – are the

Weekly Tarotscope for Feb.20: 5 of Pinnacles, Death
TAROTSCOPES Cara Cutro In this pairing I see an arduous and unfamiliar path leading to a deeply transformative experience. The 5 of Pentacles, at face value, represents a challenging time brought on by loss. If we take a deeper look at the meaning we may see an experience of abandonment or being left out and forgotten. This is often brought on by the chaos and dismantling that occurs with change. The saying, “It’s hell in the hallway,” comes to mind. Whatever challenge we are facing, whether it’s a difficult change occurring around us or strictly an internal sense of being thrown out of the nest, this change is a necessary one we must face. Keep moving forward and no matter how bleak it seems, help is available to aid us in this process. The 5 of Pentacles requires us to suspend the belief that we have been somehow abandoned by life and to recognize the help that is available to us. This help is often found in our relationship with a Higher Power or a supportive
community.
Death is the inevitable change that awaits each of us. In Tarot we almost always view this as a metaphor, as we experience the process of acceptance and letting go many times within a lifetime, these are mini-deaths if you will. Grief and loss are a part of living. The beauty is that out of endings new beginnings emerge with the integrated materials from the lessons, people, and experiences of our past. If we can see the truth of how everything connects into a fabric that never truly ceases to exist, we transcend into a whole new life and depth of understanding. The Death card is an invitation to emerge from the chrysalis once more. Now is a time to lean into family, community, and spiritual connection.
