Culpeper finished with 15 points in the spring season. “You all are role models,” Virginia Community Bank Vice President and Community Cup board member Tripp Butler said. “It’s important to be held to a higher level on the field. You’ve showed great sportsmanship and hopefully this award brings the community together. Revel in your accomplishments and this cup is yours once again!”

Eastern View High School celebrated its fourth consecutive year of securing the Community Cup during an awards banquet May 31. The Cyclones won with a total of 115 points, while Culpeper County High School finished with 70. The cup, sponsored by Virginia Community Bank, is awarded to the school with the most wins in head-to-head matchups between the two Culpeper County high schools.

UVA Community Credit Union comes to Culpeper ➤ Bowles to serve as branch manager By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer UVA Community Credit Union has come to Culpeper. The branch, located at 633 Meadowbrook Dr., the site of the former Suntrust Bank, opened Tuesday as community members and business leaders welcomed the credit union to the community. “About two years ago our credit union applied to the state corporation commision in order to expand our charter to be able to reach out to surrounding communities to give them the opportunity to join a credit union,” Jeffrey C. Moscicki, Chairman of the Board, UVA Credit Union said. That allowed the credit union to expand to Culpeper, Fauquier and Rappahannock communities and since then, they merged with the Northern Piedmont Federal Credit Union, giving them two branches in Warrenton. The new branch in Culpeper fills a void that the credit union hopes ➤ See Credit, Page 5

to fill by providing information and education for members. Expanded to Culpeper, Fauquier, Rappahannock communities “We believe that we’re special because now not only are we a part of your community, but being a credit union member also gives you an opportunity to use the services that we have,” Moscicki said. “Our credit union in particular, really feels strongly about member education. One of the things we do is we hold classes for members and we hold seminars. The reason why we do that is because we believe each and every one of you, if you’re better informed about your finances, you will make better decisions when it comes to buying a home, purchasing a car, paying for your children’s education or better yet saving for that well-earned retirement.” Close to a hundred people turned out Tuesday evening to welcome the business to the community, including the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce. “We’re definitely looking forward to the opportunities they will bring to this area,” Wes Mayles, Culpeper Chamber of Commerce CEO/President, said. The credit union has operated a branch in Orange for more than

two years, and the success there is partially what led them to expand their reach to Culpeper. “The Orange branch has been successful for two plus years and we wish them the same success here in Culpeper,” Orange County Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Tammy Collins said. Culpeper’s branch will be led by a familiar face - Jackie Bowles. Bowles, 1990 Culpeper County High School graduate, is a pillar of the Culpeper banking community, having worked at Suntrust since she was just 16 years old. She has nearly 30 years’ experience in the financial industry. She began as a part-time teller while still in high school and throughout her career has held numerous positions at Culpeper area financial institutions including teller, licensed banker, and branch manager. Most recently she was manager of the Meadowbrook branch of SunTrust bank, which closed in January. “I’m a fixture to the building,” Bowles said with a laugh. She’s excited to come home to work with her community and help give them sound financial advice. “I think it’s the most important thing, everybody needs guidance to go through retirement and everything else,” Bowles said. “Being in the community builds a lot of trust,

leaders because without your help and support this does not come to fruition,” Moscicki said. UVA Community Credit Union is a not-for-profit, member-owned cooperative that provides a wide range of convenient and professionally managed financial services to its members. It was started on May 1, 1954 by a group of 40 University of Virginia Hospital administrators and staff held their first meeting to organize what would become the University of Virginia Community Credit Union. They believed that by pooling their resources, each member of the credit union could have the chance at a better future. Membership is open to those who live, work or own a business located in Charlottesville, Albemarle, Culpeper, Fauquier, Fluvanna, Greene, Louisa, Madison, Nelson, Orange, or Rappahannock.

The cast for "Mary Poppins Jr." spell out "Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" during a recent practice at Verdun Adventure Bound. The Windmore Foundation for the Arts hosted a two-and-a-half week summer camp for students interested in theatre, culimating with a performance of Mary Poppins Jr. Saturday, June 16 at 1 and 5 p.m.

Windmore brings whimsy to Verdun By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Windmore Foundation for the Arts is teaching the community how to spell Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious this summer. Windmore’s summer theatre camp, held at Verdun Adventure Bound, will present “Mary Poppins Jr.” Saturday, June 16 at 1 and 5 p.m. A fairly new musical, this will be the first time “Mary Poppins Jr.” has been presented in Culpeper, though some of the cast is familiar with it from Warrenton Middle School’s production earlier this year. Director Mary Kidd Flemming said that was one of the reasons they chose the classic.

“We also thought the setting out here was really great for lots of magic to happen,” she said. The production is a culmination of Windmore’s two-and-a-half weeklong theatre camp hosted at Verdun. More than 30 cast members participated in the camp and are bringing the Disney classic to life. “We try to make it a camp experience for them,” Flemming said. “It’s very different from the experience they would have in the school systems during the year while they are doing productions.” She pointed out there are no lights and no rigging at the Verdun amphitheater, which means they have to be more creative with their scene changes. Her husband, John, created a pulley system to

fly out kites and stars for the production. “A lot of this set remains on stage, and we just pretend around it,” Flemming said. The cast is led by Ryleigh Flemming as Mary Poppins, Mikey Marshall as Bert, Anna Bywaters-Baldwin as Jane Banks and Ryan Burton as Michael Banks. Ryleigh Flemming, 15, a sophomore at Eastern View High School, said she felt like she was a perfect fit for Mary Poppins. “This is a really cool part for me because I’ve always loved children,” Ryleigh Flemming said. “Being able to work with them is fun and this is like my first main character. It’s been really fun because it’s like me in real life.” Marshall, 13, an eighth grader

at Culpeper Middle School, said it was fun to step into the iconic shoes originally played by Dick Van Dyke. “It’s exciting because he’s very upbeat and always happy,” Marshall said. He also gets to sing the classic Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, and yes, it’s as hard to sing as it is to spell. “It’s easy for most people, until you have to spell it out and that’s when it gets challenging,” Marshall said. Acting out in nature at Verdun also lends itself to the musical. “It’s beautiful out here,” Ryleigh Flemming said. “It’s really cool because during ‘Feed the Birds,’ all the birds start tweeting.

➤ Windmore, from Page 6 realistic.” The cast worked from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for more than two weeks to master the play. For Sycamore Park third grader Bywaters-Baldwin, that meant a lot of time working at home to memorize her lines as well. “Sometimes when I have rest time, I listen to the CD and I look at the script and memorize my lines,” she said. For Burton, he was excited to be part of Windmore’s camp for the second year in a row. “This has been something I’ve been looking forward to since last year when I was in Peter Pan,” he said. “It’s just wonderful to be outside and everybody is so nice, it’s just fun to be here.” Ainsley Ayers, 14, a ninth grader at EVHS, portrays Mrs. Winifred Banks and Jake Downey, 14, a ninth grader at Fauquier High School, portrays Mr. George Banks. Was it hard to act like a dad for Downey? “Listening to the CD he sounded very angry,” he said. “I like to portray what he is in the movie, I just think of when I get really mad or I see my dad get really mad.” A new addition to the musical is Mrs. Corry, portrayed by Chloe Geronymaki. Instead of the classic animated scene for “Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious,” the cast performs the scene in Mrs. Corry’s “Talking Shop.” “It’s just fun just running around and singing,” Geronymaki said. Tiffany Downey, producer of the musical, said it’s a great opportunity to have the children get outside and interact. “It’s been wonderful,” Downey said. “I think it has been so fun to see the chil-

Windmore/Stageworks to present Southern Fried Funeral

Windmore Foundation for the Arts StageWorks Theater will be presenting Southern Fried Funeral by Osborne and Eppler and directed by Christine Corrieri. In this play Dewey Frye is dead and the rest of his family is left to pick up the pieces — that is if they don’t kill each other first. Not only does matriarch Dorothy have to contend with sudden widowhood, but she’s also faced with church-committee harpy Ozella Meeks sticking her nose in the family business, Dewey’s snake-in-the-grass brother making a grab for her house, and two grown daughters reliving their childhood rivalry. Funerals bring out the worst, the best, and the funniest in people and the Fryes are no exception. A big-hearted comedy about family — Southern-style. The performances will be on Saturday, June 23 and Sunday June 24 at 3pm at Prince Michel Barrel Room, 154 Winery Lane, Leon, VA. Tickets are $15 per person and can be purchased online at windmorefoundation.org. Some tickets may be available at the door but seating is limited to 50 people for each performance. Refreshments will be available at the winery. For more information about Windmore and upcoming events call 540-547-4333 or visit Windmorefoundation.org. dren playing out here. They get to interact and talk, you get to see the mentorship between the older and younger children. It’s just a different environment they have nowadays growing up.” The play will be presented at Verdun Saturday at 1 and 5 p.m. Tickets are available online at windmorefoundation. org or at the door. Children under 6 are Free, $5 for ages 6 to 18, $10 for adults and $15 for immediate family (mom, dad, and siblings that are all together).

HOME & GARDEN

Fireflies and honeysuckle I cannot remember a summer as a child when we didn't chase fireflies or suck the sweet nectar out of honeysuckle found growing wild. School was out and we could ride our bikes, or go fishing, ride a horse, play with the pig or get into whatever the day lay in front of us. Often times we would find ourselves on the edge of being lost to the wild. We rose with the sun and out the door we went. Chores were done with no argument then it was off to enjoy the world around us. With farms on all sides of us we could explore for hours, I guess looking back we were trespassing ... but no one

seemed to care. We would just wave and say hello or stop to lend a hand if they needed it. A small country store sat at the crossing about 3 miles from our house and when we got our allowance we would take off on the old hand me down bicycles, riding down to that store for 5 cent fire balls, and a 35 cent mountain dew .... Life was good. The world has changed a lot in 30 years but summer still comes and goes. Fireflies still show up every year and honeysuckle still grows on those old fences. Regardless of what we have going on in our lives those bits of magic from our childhood still remain inside us. We want more for our kids than we had, but i never look back and think I missed anything. We have electronics now unlike anything we could have dreamed of when I was a kid. Cell phones are

We are living in a world were texting someone sitting in the same home is almost accepted. We the adults, the parents, watching this change wondering "is this good?" Well I can't answer that question but I can say I remember what it was like to ride my bike and I remember what it was like to build forts in the woods, chase fireflies, shoot pellet guns, go on hikes or walk down to the pond and drown a worm. I have a thousand stories of things I did outside while growing up but I cannot remember a single story from the days of Atari. There is an entire world outdoors that brings with it a timeless magic. When summer comes my article

redirects from working in the garden to just getting outside and enjoying the beauty around us, enjoying the family around you and finding time to unplug and hear the quiet of nature. I ask that you take the time to make a memory. We are lucky to live in a small town were neighbors still wave and know each other's names. We are blessed each day by the beauty to the west as the sun sets into the mountains. This summer remember to slow down and spend some time with your family and friends, make an effort to meet your neighbors if you haven't. The long days offer ample opportunity to be outside so take advantage of this summer, don't let it slip by unnoticed. Donald Sherbeyn is the owner of Sherbeyn’s Landscape.

HISTORY Letters home from William H. Stowe Editors’ Note: In commemoration of the 145th anniversary of the Battle of the Wilderness, Zann Nelson produced and directed a play called Somebody’s Darling based on the letters of William H. Stowe, 2nd Vermont Co F. The narrative, dialogue and letters will be republished for the Culpeper Times in a 4-part series. The dialogue between Mother and William was written specifically for the play while the style was taken directly from Stowe’s letters. John Tole of Rappahannock County was a major contributor to the narrative. A special thanks to Dennis Buttacavoli who owns the letters for allowing us to use them.

ZANN’S PLACE Zann Nelson

Last week Pvt. Stowe was

confronted with the horrors of war particularly the events during the Battle of Chancellorsville 1863 and wrote the following; “The air was full of arms and pieces of men blown to pieces by the murderous fire of our artillery. I never want to see the like again; the ground was covered with the enemys killed & wounded.” Stowe was promoted to Corporal and in June 1863 was posted to picket duty along the Rappahannock River. June 10th, 1863 Along the Rappahannock River Wednesday the 10th finds me on the banks of the Rappahanac doing picket dutey the same as I have bin doing for the last two days. At the time of my writing the boys are getting ready to cross over and get the papers from Richmond Va. The rebils are on the other bank waiting with the papers in their hand. This is contrary to orders and has to be done on the sly. If our oficers knew of

it, it would be a hard job for them that went over to the rebils. One of the boys that crost the river wisent a very good swimer so the rebils go and gits a plank for him to come back on. They are having a good time with each other talking of the difarent battles they have been in during their soldiers life. It may seem rather strange to you that the boys on both sides are so freindley to each other, some would say that this was fals if it was in the papers but this is fact. Since I have sat on my knapsack and watched them with one eye and tended to my writing with the other. They all want this war to be settled for the best. They say they have got sick of the war and want to go home but dont want to settle the war on the tearms that we propose to them. please write soon. this from William It is interesting that Stowe does not address this letter to any specific family member and signs it in a

different manner than has been his habit. We can only speculate on the why. Young William Stowe had been away from home and embroiled in the realities and horrors of war that he had not anticipated for two long years with no end in sight. Was he weary, homesick or simply thinking the recipients of his letter would surely know it was from him? By June 1863, soldiers from both sides had one major wish: a longing for the war to be concluded so they could return home. Until next week, be well.

R E A L E S TAT E Landslide at Fones Cliffs caused by inadequate erosion controls A team of River advocates led by Friends of the Rappahannock (FOR) took to the air and water Thursday, May 24, responding to reports of a massive landslide at Fones Cliffs, the environmentally-sensitive site of an ongoing 1,000-acre real estate development in Richmond County, Virginia. Fones Cliffs is a four-mile stretch of historically-significant land, located a few miles upstream of Tappahannock. The cliffs rise more than 100 feet above the Rappahannock River, and are a known gathering site for bald eagles, making them of extreme concern to conservationists. FOR staff members were joined by volunteers who provided an airplane and a drone to capture dramatic footage of the landslide. River Steward Richard Moncure captained FOR’s boat from his office at June Parker Marina to observe firsthand the damage at

Fones Cliffs, and confirmed the location of the landslide is adjacent to the property cleared by Virginia True last fall. Virginia True is currently un-

➤ River, from Page 10 stall appropriate stormwater best management practices (BMPs). Local waterman observed the landslide and notified Moncure early on the morning of Tuesday, May 22. Reports on Wednesday indicated the cliff was still not stable, and soil was still sloughing off and sliding down the slope. Joining Moncure on the boat was Richmond County Erosion Compliance Officer Richard English, Jeff Howeth (the civil engineer for Virginia True), and videographer Harlow Chandler, an FOR volunteer. Chandler used a drone to document the condition of the cliff face, as well as the area behind the landslide, including 13-plus acres that was illegally cleared in October 2017. While one team was on the river, another took to the skies. FOR Executive Director Kathleen Harrigan was in a small plane piloted by Chris Kucera, and joined by freelance photographer and FOR volunteer Robert Martin. The images taken by Martin and Chandler show a landslide on a section of Fones Cliffs. Trees can be seen upside down at the bottom of the slope, with crowns in the water, trunks on the hillside, and roots in the air. Trees at the top of the cliff are still standing, but with half their root mat undercut and some roots dangling

in the air. Erosion is a natural process, but can be accelerated by other events and actions. It is no coincidence that the only landslide at Fones Cliffs occurred this week adjacent to the cleared site. In November 2015, approximately 1,000 acres owned by Virginia True was rezoned to permit the development of residences, a lodge, a golf course, and other amenities. The rezoning approval was based on many assumptions and proffers, including Virginia True’s guarantee to comply with local and state requirements for environmental protection, including adherence to standard development practices. Virginia True also promised a rapid return to compliance if a problem was identified. No proactive efforts to be compliant with local ordinances, state law or Virginia True’s own proffers, have been seen. Nor have there been rapid efforts to regain compliance. Land disturbance activities began in October, they became apparent from the river in mid-November, and the Stop Work order was issued by Richmond County Nov. 30. Six-months later, the county Stop Work order is still in place, two state-issued Notices of Violation are not resolved, and the cliff is sloughing off into the river; depositing tons of sediment in the fishery below.

Attention homeowners! Do you live outside of town and have your own septic system? When was the last time your septic system was pumped or inspected? Has it been pumped in the last 10 years? Do you know how well it functions? As a homeowner it is in your best interest and beneficial for local streams and groundwater to maintain your system and the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District is here to help! If you have not had your septic system pumped out in the last 3 years and you are a resident of Culpeper County you are eligible for the District’s septic cost share program. A basic pump out of your septic tank and an inspection is the best insurance program for maintaining a functional system. The program offers 50% reimbursement up to $150.00 (up to $240 cost share for lower income) for pump outs alone. Better yet, the program covers pump outs with inspections at $1,000 reimbursement (up to $1,600 for low income). Upon inspection if any issues arise, the grant also covers 50% of repairs or replacements. Again, some participants, depending on annual income, may receive up to 80% cost share reimbursement for these. The program is for existing residences only and does not include new construction. Applicants must be approved by the CSWCD Board before any of the septic work is completed. The program starts with a simple application and a home visit from a Conservation Specialist. The program is entirely voluntary and in addition to the benefits

to the homeowner, the goal is to improve Culpeper County’s surface and groundwater quality. Many streams in Culpeper County have excess levels of E. coli bacteria and do not meet the Water Quality Standards for E. coli bacteria. The CSWCD has multiple grants for cost sharing septic management practices that will be helping decrease excess bacteria and excess nutrients from getting into County streams and groundwater. The cleaner our streams are the more recreation, people and wildlife they can support. Some of the reasons septic systems fail include water flowing into the drain field faster than it can percolate through the soil, adding substances like grease, paint, and cleaning solution into the system which kills beneficial bacteria in drain field, and tree roots or woody plants growing on or in your drain field. Four things that you can do as a homeowner to protect your system is to regularly inspect and pump your system, use water efficiently and prevent leaks, not dispose household hazardous waste in sinks or toilets, and maintain your drain field. As a homeowner and a resident of the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District we ask you to think about what normally is “out of sight and out of mind” and take action while we have access to grants to reduce the cost of maintaining your septic system for the benefit of everyone. Please contact our office at (540) 825-8591 if you would like to get the application process started or if you have any questions, we look forward to working with you!

Culpeper Times • June 14-20, 2018

Spring housing market heats up in Fredericksburg region More homes were sold in the Fredericksburg region in April compared to a year earlier, but buyers had a smaller selection to choose from. Caroline County saw 21 percent fewer homes on the market compared to a year earlier, and Fredericksburg saw a 15 percent drop. Long & Foster Real Estate’s Market Minute report for the Fredericksburg region includes Fredericksburg City and Spotsylvania, Stafford, Culpeper and Caroline counties. Median sale prices rose in some areas and showed a slight decline in others. Culpeper and Caroline counties saw median sale prices increase in April by double-digit percentages compared to April 2017 figures. Nationally, housing inventory has declined for nearly three years running, while demand has remained strong. With low unemployment, interest rates that are low but rising, and modest wage growth, consumers are still shopping for houses and not finding enough homes to meet demand. This puts upward pressure on prices, and values are now at all-time highs in many areas. Foster said he’s not perceiving signs of a bubble, even with monthafter-month sale price increases, because of key economic indicators and strong lending standards.

“This is very different from 20002005,” Foster said. “Back then, people were getting loans who could not afford to pay them back, which created an artificial bubble, from a price perspective. Lenders are more regulated now, so that borrowers have to meet standards and in most cases put some money down. The employment situation is strong, and the fundamentals are sound; I don’t see this as a bubble.” However, Foster said ongoing monthly, double-digit percentage price increases seen in some areas could eventually mean too few buyers could afford homes in those markets, and there would likely be a price correction if that happens. Real estate remains a solid choice for investors looking to diversify and find a counter balance to stock market volatility, Foster said. For buy-and-hold investors making an educated and well-advised purchase, it could be a good time to buy real estate in many markets, he said. “If you’re investing to hold because you want cash flow and someone else to pay down your mortgage, plus the tax benefits and appreciation,” he said, “there are many great places all over our footprint where people can diversify out of a very volatile situation with the stock market.”

JUNE 21 ART • Dorothy Skelton was a very influential artist in the Culpeper Community. She was a charter member of the Culpeper Art Group, now known as Windmore Foundation for the Arts. She also organized about 20 art fairs for adults and children to benefit the Culpeper Town and County Library. However, years before she joined the Culpeper family, she worked in the Military Intelligence Corps. Then in 1948 and 1949 she joined the Monuments, Fine Arts, and Archives (MFAA) division as a volunteer research assistant. During World War II millions of pieces of art were stolen by the Germans. As the war was ending, much of this art was found by American and Canadian art experts. Each of these pieces was catalogued and eventually returned to the individuals, museums, or churches that were the original owners. Skelton was involved with the restoring, repairing, and returning of the many pieces of art. This piece has been on temporary loan to the Culpeper Museum of History for about three years. Windmore first became aware of Skelton’s role in World War II history when they were contacted by Roxanne Merritt, Director, JFK Special Warfare Museum in Fort Bragg, North Carolina. Merritt has visited Culpeper several times and expressed an interest in displaying the painting in their MFAA section since they saw the picture. This year Windmore will loan the painting to Fort Bragg. Windmore will have their General Membership meeting on June 21, 2018 at 6 p.m. at the Culpeper Baptist Church. At about 7:20 that evening, a representative from the Culpeper Museum will present the painting to personnel from the JFK Museum. It will be on loan to the North Carolina facility for several years.

VIEWS Imagine a place THE MARSHALL PLAN

It is like I’ve encountered an episode of The Twilight Zone Marshall Conner or the mind scrambling show the Black Mirror. Recently, there have been days and minutes where I fully expected to see a curl of cigarette smoke and a shadowy figure emerge. He would look at me and say, “There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man ... a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. This is the dimension of imagination.” He would add, “Submitted for your approval is a story of a man and a pair of socks.” It’s been raining for weeks — a Virginia monsoon season. Our favorite rivers are as dirty, fast and unpredictable as our politics. The world is abuzz as President Donald

Trump meets with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un, Dennis Rodman is back in the news and we lost Anthony Bourdain (who appeared to have it all) but true happiness. My friends were excited that Journey and Def Leppard were playing live? Was this a time warp or a bit of a mind slip? A few years ago, I made a prophetic quip, “The Caps were the Philadelphia Eagles of the NHL.” It inspired a few laughs, but then the joke became a reality. The Washington Capitals won the Stanley Cup…yes, they really did. The Eagles won the Super Bowl. Serling’s ghost would surely smile at this twist of fate. Even more joyous was the path the Caps took that ended with a beardedRussian grinning from his bed while holding the Stanley Cup. His beautiful wife smiling adoringly at her man and his beloved hockey trophy. Pedro, a wise fly fishing guide in Belize once told me, “A fish is like a beautiful lady, the harder you chase after her the more she wants to escape.” Maybe the Caps were trying too hard all these years? In the afterglow of the Stanley

Cup, Alex Ovechkin looked like a hero forged in a fight. The Caps rose to overcome a silly Renaissance Faireinspired Las Vegas produced Hobbit show. They had slain the mental dragons in Pittsburgh. The Caps shattered whatever curse was plaguing Washington’s home teams and brought immense joy to a fanbase that had been compared to Charlie Brown missing Lucy’s football time-after-time. The puck finally bounced off the Caps’ crossbar. The White House requested Federal agencies grant employees in the Washington area 2 hours of administrative leave Tuesday for the celebratory parade - it usually takes a half-inch of snow. On social media, Caps fans wrote about gathering every secret weapon in their arsenal for each game — all precious charms were considered and deployed. You see I have a confession, I stole a pair of Capitals socks from my teenage son. I instinctively sensed their power — then I began to smell it. The socks had magic when turned slightly to the right — twisted — just like the fragile psyche of most Caps fans. A miraculous series of games

occured, one by one the victories unfolded, and the socks were left unwashed as Columbus, Pittsburgh, Tampa Bay and lastly Las Vegas fell. I even forgot the magic socks for the first game against the Vegas Golden Knights. This tragic loss was chalked up to amazing chicken wings, overconfidence, cold cerveza and no Caps socks. A lesson was learned. My social media responded with haunting cries for the socks to return — the Caps never lost again. To the most dedicated Caps fans among my friends and family this Stanley Cup was pure redemption and it was aided by my socks. At Friday’s annual CulpeperFest I had more people talk to me about my magical and odiferous Capitals’ socks than my columns, the Silver Club, Kid Central, sports or even fishing. “Imagination... its limits are only those of the mind itself.” - Rod Serling My socks will emerge next season when the NHL playoffs return. In the end it took resilience, leadership, grit and a bit of puck luck from the Caps. For me it took a pair of socks and perhaps a brief encounter with…The Twilight Zone.

A mere rowboat it may seem Six o’clock in the morning, with the waves lapping against Katherine Charapich the shoreline of the lake, and the sun beginning to announce its presence on the horizon, I spot it . . . a representation of where a legacy begins. Actually, I hear it first – the sound of oars rotating in the holdings on an aluminum rowboat and the waves hitting against the tiny hull. Then the image comes into sight, what appears to be a grandfather teaching his grandson how to catch a fish before the rest of the world awakes. I look around the lake and see ten motorized fishing boats, settled in far from the rowboat, and adorned with multiple fishing

ESTATE STEWARDSHIP

poles and manned by two or more fishermen, perhaps years of fishing under-their-belts. I think of the life lessons that occurred for them from the time they stepped into their first rowboat. As if to confirm my thoughts, I hear music coming from the rowboat – not a radio, but the grandfather singing a tune to his grandson, and now the grandson is doing the rowing, his small arms barely able to complete the rotation. The image, as it drifts into the path of dancing sun rays, appears as a shadow. I breathe in the smells of the lake that is my healing place. We all have one – that spot that somehow centers us, allows us to re-ground and reenergize so we can remain focused on the work God has set in front of us. Having only given myself two days to re-center, I almost allow myself to not take this moment

of reflection, as I keep my phone and computer attached to me and respond to matters that deeply affect my clients and weigh heavily on my heart as well. I find the reflections occurring in this very moment comforting as I become entwined in the meanings within this cycle of life. As in Lauren Daigle’s song, “There’s not a place where I’ll go, You’ve not already stood.” But for this faith, there would be no compass for me, especially considering needs expressed just within these last twenty-four hours. The desire for updated language in a personal estate plan of a dear person who shared the unexpected news that her husband, who cared so much for his dad’s needs and care, has departed and is survived by his dad. My heart aches for this wife – her husband so kind, so full of humor, thinking only of others . . . now is

not present. Hearing the plea from a client - the wish to address his estate matters very quickly before the ravages of cancer no longer make it possible for him to direct his own care, to make provisions to stay in his personal residence, or give instruction for the distribution of his assets. Emotional, yes – time sensitive . . . as in all estate planning matters. I so wish I could take away the present pain for these precious ones. Though few relish the thought of preparing for incapacitation and death – as if the mere talking of such matters creates a reality, perhaps in an estate plan welldrafted to reflect their wishes a comfort will be found. When I arrived at the lake for these two days, I breathed in the smells that have been here for the half-century I have known. I ➤ See Rowboat, Page 21

The sad state of our colleges As we approach graduation season and kids preparing to go off the college, I find myself questioning what has happened to our institutions of higher learning. When I went to school, we were encouraged to take in different perspectives and create our own thinking on views of the world. If there was a political agenda in play, I certainly never noticed it. We respected differing points of view and came to settle on our own values. I didn’t have professors or colleges trying to push politics on me. I was there to learn (and drink beer.) We have all seen what colleges have morphed into. Students in Berkley rioted because someone was coming to campus with a view that differs from their own. At Virginia's own University of Virginia there is an active movement to remove a statue of the colleges' (and one of our nations) founder, Thomas Jefferson - because he owned slaves. Upon hearing that Barbara Bush passed away, we had college professor at Fresno State all her a racist and claim the former First Lady had raised "a war criminal" Her incendiary and offensive remarks at a time of grieving for the family did not even cost her her job. When Donald Trump won the presidency, many campuses and high school gave the following day off to students so they could

mourn Hillary's loss or to go march in protest. Some schools have suspended free speech, only allowing non-liberal points of view to be expressed in "free speech zones." The conclusion I draw here is simple…colleges are becoming indoctrination centers to breed liberal thinking. Yes, there are conservative schools out there, but they do not take to rioting or erasing history to force their leader’s values on students. Many of our colleges have been infiltrated by people with deliberate political agendas. Their focus is not on providing a wellrounded perspective of the world, but on imposing their morals (or lack thereof) on the students. You may have the opinion that this is not a big deal, but I assure you it is. Look at the campus movement ANTIFA. These "protestors" are really masked thugs who use violence to achieve their goals, all the while blaming it on conservatives. These individuals who support this claim to be antifascists, but in reality, they are employing exactly the tactics used in Nazi Germany themselves. We live in an era where you are labeled and judged by that label. Identity politics now rules the day. The media does it as do our college professors. Labels determine who we are, whether we have "privilege" and our desirability to the rest of society. Colleges have banned conservative speakers from campus because they are "divisive." Students are allowed to protest and even use violence if it in support of

liberal ideology. Even if you are not sending your children off to college, you need to be concerned. This "protest only for liberal causes" thinking is spreading now to our high schools. After the horrific school shooting in Parkland Florida, high schools allowed students time off to protest gun violence. That is understandable to some extent, we are talking about violence aimed at school students. At the same time, it is a slippery slope. If the students wanted to leave class to protest abortions, do you think that would be allowed? I think we all know the answer to that. The real issue with all of this is who is making these judgement calls to allow these actions to happen? I am not ashamed that I am conservative in my thinking and actions. One fight conservatives are losing is in our college campuses. We have allowed liberals to take them over and turn them into mills to churn out idiotic and potentially dangerous liberals. We have a generation coming through our colleges that are not being exposed to opposing points of view, but only the ideals of their misguided professors and campus administration. These schools are producing students who think socialism is better than capitalism, who wear t-shirts with Che Guevara on them proudly, and are allowed to use violence to achieve their goals. It is time for us to take back our colleges or cut their Federal funding if they do not allow equal time for opposing opinions.

➤ Rowboat, from Page 21

when it comes to estate planning matters. Before you face a life-altering event, I encourage you to ask yourself if you have adequately protected your interests and put a plan in place in the event you are no longer able to make decisions for your care. Take a thorough look at what assets are part of your estate. Have you protected and controlled those assets for your benefit and use? Have you set forth the distribution of your assets upon your death in a manner that reflects your wishes, which may not be reflective of the distribution default set forth in the Code of Virginia? I am thankful for having the mysteries of life on which to contemplate. And, I am thankful that some of them, like life-altering events, can be addressed in one aspect through estate planning tools.

The seemingly endless set of other life mysteries . . . well, those are for another time - as now I look out onto the lake, from my perch above the waters – the fishermen with their advanced boats and poles are no longer on the lake, the sun’s widened path announcing another day in full swing, and the rowboat that had grandfather and young grandson sits a little lower in the water as it now carries three teenage boys. My grandfather’s own rowboat, or dinghy as it is affectionately referred to – having known it as my first water vessel and having been the venue for many instructions for my children, sits overturned in the boathouse – awaiting the next generation.

PARDOE’S PERSPECTIVE

BLAINE PARDOE

listened to the sounds that remain unchanged. I roamed between the tiny rooms, capturing mental images of things familiar – there in the basement was Grandma’s plaster figurine of a thinking toad sitting under a mushroom. The bush it once graced is no longer. And, of course, I am no longer the toddler who played near the thinking toad. My generation is now “adulting” as the millennials call it, and it is not easy. However, it can be so incredibly meaningful as we help prepare and protect the next generation. If you are like many who don’t want to face the inevitability of death and possibility of incapacitation, and prefer like one client shared to not even say “the word,” but “in the event the event occurs,” . . . it is okay to “adult”

Relay for Life walks for a cure By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Celebrate. Remember. Fight back. That was the theme of this year’s Culpeper Relay for Life held June 2 inside Eastern View High School. Despite heavy storms moving through the region, more than 360 participants walked throughout the high school halls. Linda Dunn, co-chair of this year’s relay, said that this year they have raised close to $130,000. “One of the best things about Relay is coming together with everyone to fight back against cancer,”

Dunn said. The goal is to get over $200,000. This year’s relay was moved inside a day prior, due to the forecast of heavy rain and thunderstorms. Not being outside on the EVHS track didn’t deter the spirits of the participants, as they marched through the hallways of Eastern View proudly displaying their banners. “I think everyone readjusted and they are just excited to show their spirit,” Dunn said. Groups set up 10x10 tents in the EVHS cafeteria to display their messages such as “Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee, fight ‘til we’re cancer free.”

KNOW YOUR NEIGHBORS

John Genho Fredericksburg Stake President of Church of Jesus Christ of Latter–day Saints What brought you to Culpeper? I

actually live in Woodville, up in Rappahannock County, and I moved here to manage a farm there called Eldon Farms, a 7,000 acre property between Woodville and Sperryville. That’s what brought us to area..

How were you selected to be Stake President?

The way it works is you are called, you can’t sort of run. It’s a lot of work and no pay but you’re called. We have a visiting general authority of the church, Elder Kopischke was here two years ago and we knew the previous stake president, his time was up. So he did a bunch of interviews and one day selects the person he believes is the right person. I was serving at the time as the Bishop in the Culpeper ward. So I was on the short list of people interviewed but technically he could have picked anybody from among the 3,000 members to serve.t.

What all do you do as president, what’s your role?

There are a lot of things we do, the most important thing we do ultimately is ministering to people. It’s just that simple, trying to help people out, usually trying to lift them spiritually. Of course it’s overseeing buildings and all of the finances that’s more of the administrative type of tasks.

Is it a daunting task knowing you have 3,000 members in your stake?

It does weigh on me, but the way the church is organized is that everyone has a calling. Everyone has some responsibility. The church just kind of functions with all of this volunteer help from the congregation. If you didn’t have that, it would be a full time job for multiple people. Because of this lay clergy you have someone serving in some capacity..

How many members are here in Culpeper?

Here in Culpeper we have between 800 to 1,000 members. We call it Culpeper but that goes from Sperryville and extends into Madison and Lake of the Woods. Our typical attendance we’ll have about 300 people every Sunday.

How do you promote the church and let people know you’ve been here 25 years?

“When Christ was on the Earth he went about doing good and he did it on an individual basis. There were very few times he spoke to big congregations or did miracles among big groups. We have a lot more accounts of him talking to individuals, and that’s how we do it. We have missionaries that serve here in Culpeper, they’re knocking on people’s doors and meeting people on the street.

Do people embrace the door to door missionary work? What’s the response?

Some people embrace it, some people aren’t as happy with it. If someone is not happy with it we don’t want to bother them. It’s creating opportunities to talk about the church but we’re not trying to force anything on people. The LDS church typically isn’t on a busy corner and we don’t take out an ad in the paper. We’re inviting individuals.

Genealogy is a big part of the church, how does that impact our community and what resources does the church have that people may not be aware of?

We have a family history center and it’s open during the week and has regular hours. We have family history consultants and anybody can come, whether they are a member of the church or not. It’s just a service we feel we should offer people. If an individual wants to come in, they can come to the family history center and we can help them research whatever records we have. We’re open about sharing them with people. A lot of towns don’t have one (a family history center) so it’s nice to have it. We’re very interested in doing things with other congregations. This year we participated in the way of the cross. We don’t always agree with everything with other congregations, but that’s OK. We’re not trying to prove them wrong or us right or argue about things. We all know service is something we all should be interested in. The center of our faith is Jesus Christ, we have a lot in common with other religions that have Jesus Christ as the center of their faith. There’s always some commonality among faiths. We should all be working together to lift people up.

When people find out you are the president of the stake, what’s the reaction?

At times people are surprised because I am just a guy that has a regular job, but that’s kind of the way it’s set up. Ultimately I’m glad that Elder Kopischke thought I was somebody that could serve in this capacity. I think there are any number of people who could do the job as well as I could, maybe better. For whatever reason, this was my time to serve in this capacity. I’ll serve 9-10 years, and I’m almost through with year two, not that I’m counting.

What has been the most eyeopening experience?

The most eye-opening experience for me was working with the youth and the amount of mental and emotional struggles they are going through right now. I thought there would be issues with drugs, immorality, alcohol abuse and all of the things you think teenagers are dealing with. It’s actually not what they are dealing with, they are dealing with emotional and mental health issues. Just feeling like they have value and they can stand up to life. That’s the struggles they are going through, which was a complete shock to me.

HISTORY Revolutionary Battle of Waxhaws or Buford’s Massacre CHARLES JAMESON

On May 26, the President of the Virginia Society, Sons of the American Revolution spread Virginia soil on the mass grave of mostly Virginia troops killed in the Battle of Waxhaws near Lancaster, South Carolina. That soil was collected and dedicated at a ceremony held locally at Graves Mountain earlier in the month. You don’t often think of central and northern Virginia as important places in the founding of our nation. But many Virginians from our area rose to fight for our freedom and traveled many miles to other states to engage the British. The Battle of Waxhaws is, not only a good example of Virginians taking the fight to the British but was also a turning point in the Revolution. The Battle of Waxhaws (also known as Waxhaw’s Massacre and Buford’s Massacre) took place during the Revolutionary War on May 29, 1780 near Lancaster South Carolina., between a Continental Army force led by Abraham Buford and a mainly Loyalist force led by British Officer Banastre Tarleton. The prelude to this battle – after the surrender of British General Burgoyne at Saratoga in 1777, the British developed a new strategy to try to bring the American colonies back under control. This new strategy called for taking and controlling the southern colonies, then moving northward bring colonies back into the British sphere one at a time. The British initiated this strategy starting in early 1780, and they were successful in capturing many key cities and areas in poorly defended Georgia and South Carolina. American forces scrambled to the defense of South Carolina including Colonel Abraham Buford, one of the original Culpeper Minutemen, in command of a force of 380 Virginia continentals of the 3rd Va. Detachment. This unit was composed of the 7th Va. Regiment, two companies of the 2nd Va. Regiment and an Artillery Detachment of two 6 pounders. Buford had experienced officers under his command, but most of his men were raw recruits with little battle experience. Due to delays in outfitting his command, Buford had been unable to reach Charleston to

History

participate in its defense. The city was captured, and Buford was ordered to return to Hillsborough N.C. He turned his column around and headed north. Buford was eventually joined by about 40 Va. light Dragoons who had escaped the siege and Richard Caswell’s N.C. Militia. At Camden Buford and Caswell split up. Buford headed into the Waxhaws area where he would rest his troops. British General Clinton on May 15 ordered Lord Cornwallis to bring the South Carolina and Georgia backcountries under British control. The British Army of 2500 troops were moving too slowly to catch up with Buford, so on May 27th Cornwallis sent Lt. Colonel Banastre Tarleton in pursuit with a force of about 270 men. Tarleton and his regiment rode their horses hard to make up the distance that Buford had on them. On May 28 after a ride of approx. 12 hrs. They had reached Buford’s resting place. Tarleton sent Captain David Kinlock forward carrying a white flag to demand Buford’s surrender. Upon his arrival Buford halted his march and formed a battle line while the parlay took place. Tarleton grossly exaggerated the size of his force in his message claiming he had 700 men, hoping to sway Buford’s decision. The note also said “Resistance being vain, to prevent the effusion of human blood, I make offers which can never be repeated.” indicating Tarleton would only ask once. Buford refused to surrender, responding “I reject your proposals, and shall defend myself to the last extremity.” Buford reformed his troops and continued his march north. However, Tarleton, in violation of accepted rules of war, had continued to march and maneuver his troops forward while the parley took place. So around 3 pm Tarleton’s force caught up with Buford’s rear. The rear guards were captured, and their leader Captain Pearson was inhumanely mangled with saber cuts, some inflicted after he had fallen. Tarleton had ridden his horses too hard to catch Buford, which allowed Buford to stop his column and formed a single battle line. Tarleton meanwhile set up a command post on a nearby hill and organized for the attack. What happened next is the subject of much debate. Tarleton’s line charged, and Buford waited until the enemy was within ten yards before

giving the order to fire. This was a tactical mistake on Buford’s part, for it enabled Tarleton’s formation to hold, while giving Buford’s men time to fire only a single volley. As a result, the British cavalry tore Buford’s line to pieces. Many Americans began laying down their arms and offering to surrender. Loyalist and British who both were incensed at their fellow countrymen’s betrayal of the crown continued fighting although the white flag was visible. Patriot accounts stated that the flag was effectively refused. In the end, Buford along with some of his Calvary escaped the Battlefield. Historians in the 19th century blamed Tarleton for the massacre, but most contemporary references to it do not describe it as such. Tarleton in a version published 1781, said that the battle was a “slaughter.” He said his horse had been shot from under him during the initial charge and

his men thinking him dead, engaged in “a vindictive asperity not easily restrained.” Historian Jim Piecuch argues that the battle was as much a massacre as similar events lead by Patriot commanders. David Wilson on the other hand, holds Tarleton responsible for the slaughter. He notes that it represented a loss of discipline, something for which Tarleton was responsible. He had already been reprimanded for transgressions by his men at the Battle of Monck’s Creek in April. Charles Stedman, a Cornwallis aide, wrote of British actions at the Battle of Waxhaws that” the virtue of humanity was totally forgot. “ Despite what contemporaries and scholars thought about Tarleton’s actions or intentions, the massacre by the British of the American soldiers swayed many colonists who were either indifferent or on the fence about American independence to supporting the fight against the British. The rallying cry “Tarleton’s Quarter” would help propel future American victories in the south and would eventually lead to the British defeat some 15 months later. Charles C. Jameson is a member and past president of the George Washington Carver Regional High School Alumni Association, vice president of the Culpeper Minute Men Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution, member of the Board of Trustees for the Museum of Culpeper History, and member of the Culpeper Branch #7058 of the NAACP. In recognition for his many contributions to his community, in 2017 Charles was named a “Culpeper Colonel” by the County Board of Supervisors.
