Local Lions receive Melvin Jones awards By Jeff Say
Culpeper Times Staff Writer The Melvin Jones Award is presented to Lions Club members who are a model of exemplary service to their club and the community it serves. On Thursday, three members of the Culpeper Mid-Day Lions received the award for their contributions to the Culpeper Community. R.E. Deane, Dr. Lee Simpson and Jim “J.R.” Calhoun were surprised with the Lions’ honor in memory of their founder, Melvin Jones. Deane joined the Dawn Lions Club in Oct. 1986 and transferred his membership to the Mid-Day Lions in Jan. 2017. He served in the U.S. Navy for two tours of Korea and is a member of the Culpeper Veterans of Foreign War. He has been a member of the Culpeper County Volunteer Fire Department Co. 1 for 59 years and is a former Culpeper Town Councilman and vice mayor. He was recognized for his many years of service and his constant contributions - including his dedication to working bingo for the Mid-Day Lions, VFW and CCVFD. “It’s been a pleasure to give back, that’s what I was always taught,” Deane said. Simpson, a former president of the Mid-Day Lions, has written two grants through the Culpeper Wellness Foundation for $20,000 which has helped SPOT vision screening equipment, audiometers and eventually hearing aids. Owner of Culpeper Dental Associates, he has donated his skills as a dentist to the community as well.

Culpeper Mid Day Lions Lee Simpson (from left), R.E. Deane and Jimmy Calhoun are recognized by Distict 24A governor elect Wilma Murphy with their Melvin Jones Awards. “You’re supposed to be old when you get these right?” Simpson said jokingly. “I haven’t been around enough to deserve that.” Calhoun joined the Mid-Day Lions in Dec. 2006 and returned to active duty in Oct. 2015. He has served as second vice president, LCIF coordinator, sight chair and public relations chair. He is a district zone chairman and will be installed as regional chairman in July. He instituted the empty pill bottle collection and is one of the organization’s top broom salesman - one of their many successful fundraisers.
“First of all, I’m honored, second of all I’m qualified based on Lee’s description of being old,” Calhoun said with a chuckle. “It’s amazing what this group does, it’s been privilege to be a part of it.” The Culpeper Mid-Day Lions are extremely active in the community, especially when it comes to sight and hearing screenings. Last year, they screened 2,444 children from 14 schools, had 358 vision referrals, 84 hearing referrals, 75 volunteers - including 46 from the Mid-Day Lions and 23 from the ‘92 Lions. They had 159 citizens approved for eyeglass financial support and
collected 8,312 pairs of eyeglasses to be recycled. They provided nine hearing aids to citizens that needed them and financially qualified and took 70 children Christmas shopping. They donated $25,000 to various groups in the community, not counting money spent on eyeglasses and hearing aids. They also recently bestowed $10,000 in scholarships to students from Culpeper County and Eastern View high schools. “I’m in awe of all of the things you’ve accomplished this past year,” said Wilma Murphy, District 24A Governor Elect.

PWNA is hoping to raise awareness of their organization and of the plight of more than 60 tribes they work with out West. PWNA hopes to highlight the third world conditions the tribes are dealing with and letting other communities know about the harsh realities the tribes face. The Museum of Culpeper History has presented Native American history of Culpeper County in the past and will be displaying artifacts collected throughout Culpeper on June 30, said executive director Morgan Pierce. “This is something that has not taken place over the past several years but we wanted to try to get something together and partner with another community organization,” he said. “We really wanted to attach ourselves with a significant community event like the farmer’s market.” The museum will put a spotlight on

the Manahoac tribe, which was native to Culpeper before moving west in the mid 1700s. The tribe was native to the county when John Smith originally explored the Rappahannock River. By the time George Washington surveyed Culpeper County, the tribe had likely been pushed west, crossing the Blue Ridge Mountains. “Many people are unaware of the true history of tribes in Virginia and throughout the U.S.,” said Rod Trahan, PWNA VP of Development, Northern Cheyenne Affiliation. “PWNA aims to raise awareness by accurately portraying history and the continuing impact of history on tribal economies and families today.” Pierce said a number of items including arrowheads, projectile points, tools and other relics collected from farms in Culpeper County and river banks will be on display at the museum’s tent. Partnership With Native Americans is a Native-led 501(c) (3) nonprofit championing hope for a brighter future for Native Americans. A BBB-accredited charity, PWNA is a trusted partner and resource to programs serving 300 tribal communities in the Northern Plains and Southwest.

CATARACT AWARENESS MONTH
Haun wins Super Kids race for second time By Marshall Conner For the Culpeper Times
In the hour prior to the start of Saturday’s Super Kids Division race four young drivers arrived at Paul Bates Raceway — one brought his toy guitar, one was a little nervous, one was cool and calm, the other smiled with his family. The Super Kids Division was designed and developed to allow drivers with special needs to enjoy the thrill of the hill alongside an experienced derby driver and once again it was an inspiration and crowd favorite. There were four drivers competing in this year’s Super Kids Division with experienced drivers serv-
ing as co-drivers in the distinctive two-seater cars. Second-year Super Kid Jordan Haun earned the top trophy after a close race with Caleb Walbroehl, who finished second. Rachel Palmer, Program Manager for Kid Central (the race’s trophy sponsor) presented the top trophy. Veteran Super Kid racer Miguel Chapman took home the third-place trophy and fourth place was earned by Benjamin Olson. This was the second time Haun had earned a trip to Akron, Ohio for the chance at a National Championship. In the afterglow of the final race Haun remained calm amid the hugs and celebrations. ➤ See Haun, Page 8

Morris family sweeps stock, super stock divisions It was a clean sweep for the Morris family at the Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby June 16. Sophie Morris defeated her younger sister Ava in the finals of the Stock division while the oldest sibling, Luke, brought home the title in the Super Stock division. Dad Robbie beamed after the final race, as Sophie scooped her younger sister up in a giant hug. “I’m so excited, at the local every year you never know what’s going to happen here,” Robbie Morris said. “Luke had finished second two years in a row, and I wanted him to do well so much. To have the girls racing each other, it’s just a dream come true to see them do that.” Sophie said it was difficult to race against her sister, because she didn’t want to hurt Ava’s feelings. Ava, the ultra competitive youngest sibling, congratulated her sister before scampering away with tears in her eyes. “It’s really hard because I didn’t want to hurt her feelings, but I never thought I’d actually win,” Sophie said.
The Morris girls wanted to show the community that racing isn’t just something boys can do - that girls can be interested in it as well and do it in style. Ava won Best in Show in the stock division with her unicorn emblazoned mobile while Sophie rocked some cute owls on her chassis. “I think that girls can do the same things that boys do,” Sophie said. Sophie, 10, a fifth grader at Covenant School in Charlottesville, said that she looks forward to the Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby every year. “It’s just being able to be around my friends and just to be able to have so much fun,” Sophie said. Ava, 8, a third grader at Covenant, will be back next year in the stock division while Sophie will move up to super stock. “Ava is very competitive, she likes to do the best at whatever she does,” Robbie said. “I know this will be bitter for her but she’ll come back next year and I think she’ll be tough.” Luke, who won the stock division ➤ See Morris, Page 8

Rappahannock racers have a passion for the Soap Box Derby ➤ Thom Pellikaan has amassed a roster of families who give back to the derby By Jeff Say
Culpeper Times Staff Writer Rappahannock County loves to race. That’s one of the explanations for why the county had 14 drivers participate in the Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby last Saturday. Rappahannock County has always been well represented in the annual race — dating back to its inception 16 years ago. Soap Box Derby committee member Thom Pellikaan, who lives on Red Oak Mountain, started supporting the derby early, donating money and a pair of cars to Castleton Volunteer Fire Department to start the derby craze. Pellikaan purchased the cars with anonymous donations and the roster grew from just Castleton to include Sperryville Volunteer Fire Department, Flint HIll VFD (which won the All-American Soap Box Derby piloted by Gabe DeRosa), the Lunch Bunch, Wakefield Country Day School, The Inn at Little Washington, the Rappahannock County Sheriff’s Office, Copper Fox Antiques, Castleton Festival and Friends of Rappahannock County. Pellikaan supports the drivers with a yard sale at his home, raising between $2,000 to $3,000 for registration fees, brakes and various other parts need-
ed throughout the derby. He helped set up the derby’s Give Local Piedmont fundraiser this year, which raised close to $8,000 with more than $7,000 coming from supporters of Rappahannock County drivers. Pellikaan is always ready to talk racing, recognizing the importance of the derby’s structure and focus on family. He’s quick to recruit drivers and is always on the lookout for potential racing enthusiasts. “The Foscatos (Jeremiah, Joshua and Joy) just appeared in a grocery store,” Pellikaan said. “I had my card and just asked if they were driving Soap Box Derby car yet?” It’s a question the Foscatos are glad they were asked, as Jeremiah became the Masters Division champion on Saturday, advancing to the All-American Soap Box Derby in Akron, Ohio. “Thom Pellikaan is the driving force,” his father Dylan Foscato said. “He picks kids up off the street and that’s kind of what he did to us. He tracked us down in the grocery store. We didn’t know anything about it and he got all three of us involved. We’ve just stuck with it.” Others, like Sarah and Katie Johnson he’s known for years. Their mother Cole Johnson lived on Red Oak Mountain when they were born and now they drive for Copper Fox and The Lunch Bunch. “They wanted to race two years ago, they just turned 8,” Pellikaan said. “The Johnsons used to live on Red Oak Mountain. I got to know the family very well.” Sarah said Pellikaan reached out to her and she said yes. Her sister, not wanting to be left behind, soon followed. ➤ See Derby, Page 7
Culpeper Times • June 21-27, 2018
➤ Derby, from Page 6 “I’d never done it before,” Sarah said. “As soon as Katie saw me doing it she wanted to do it. As soon as we started doing it, we enjoyed it and it’s a lot of fun.” Katie said that as twins, they often know what the other is thinking. However, they haven’t used that skill to share strategies about going down the hill. “I don’t really have a strategy,” Sarah said with a laugh. “I just go low.” Jaden Torosian started racing six years ago in the stock division. This year he moved up to Super Stock while his sister McKenna kept going in stock. Jaden said that he’s always extolling the virtues of the derby. “I asked some of Boy Scout friends from school if they would do it and they said next year they definitely would,” he said. Many drivers talk about the excitement of going down the hill, the thrill of the competition and the trophies. Jaden has simpler reasons. “It’s just meeting your friends, talking to them and having fun,” Jaden said. “It’s really all that matters.” Bonding with his sister has been another byproduct of racing.
Local News “All of our family pitches in and we all just have fun working on the car,” said Jaden, son of Mark and Susan Torosian of Amissville. Jessica Lindstrom, headmaster of Wakefield Country Day School, said that the derby combines the fun of racing with physics to promote educational opportunities. “It’s a family activity, it’s a wholesome activity,” Lindstrom said. “It’s hands on where they themselves are responsible for their cars so the kids are invested in it.” Lindstrom marvels at the outpouring of support in Rappahannock County. It seems that every civic organization possible in the tight-knit community has a presence at Paul Bates Raceway. “It’s become a signature of the community spirit that’s there,” Lindstrom said. “There’s so many organizations — from the sheriff’s department, to the Lunch Bunch, to the food pantry, to the schools themselves — where everyone is involved.” The derby’s focus on family is what drives the communities love of the 16th annual event. “It really is that extended family,” Lindstrom said. “Something like this, not only are we representing ourselves but we’re representing the community.”

Jeremiah Foscato won first place in the Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby Master's division Saturday, June 16. He now advances to the All-American Soap Box Derby.
Foscato brings home Master's title By Jeff Say
Culpeper Times Staff Writer Jeremiah Foscato wasn’t about to let his neves get him. Racing in his first Masters Division series, the Amissville native overcame the jitters to defeat Tony Kratochvil in the championship race Saturday at the Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby. One of 14 Rappahannock County racers, Foscato, admitted he wasn’t a picture of steadiness before the final race. “It’s very nerve-wracking, definitely,” Foscato said. Foscato said that as he came down the track the final time, there was only one thought running through his mind. “This is it, there’s no turning back, basically,” Foscato said. Foscato’s dad Dylan said that have
one of his three children win - Joshua and Joy race in the Super Stock division - was a culmination of four years of work. “We’ve been trying for a couple years and it’s just neat for them to come out here and have a good time,” Dylan Foscato said. “They’ve all left out of here enjoying themselves. This is just icing on the cake.” The Foscatos were recruited to race by Rappahannock County derby supporter Thom Pellikaan and without him, Dylan said, they wouldn’t have had the chance to win on Saturday. “Thom Pellikaan is the driving force,” Foscato said. “He picks kids up off the street and that’s kind of what he did to us. He tracked us down in the grocery store. We didn’t know anything about it and he got all three of us involved. We’ve just stuck with it.”

➤ Haun, from Page 4 “Grandma…don’t get be so excited,” remarked Jordan after the race. “I won two years ago. I’ve won this before…stay calm.” Jordan’s aunt rushed to congratulate her nephew. She handed Jordan a smartphone with a live feed from Facebook streaming. Jordan’s mother was elated as she spoke with her son from work on the phone. “I’m so proud of him,” said Denise Haun, Jordan’s mother. “We are all proud of him.” Jordan’s grandmother, Brenda Tyree, was not buying into the calm cool approach—she was dancing and jumping for joy when her grandson won. “He’s always so calm.

good kid,” said Tyree. “We learned about this great Super Kids program through his school and it’s been so much fun. We are so proud.” With two derby wins under his belt Jordan was content and happy to resume his hobbies like learning more about dragons and building with Legos. Since its creation the Super Kids Division has become a beloved fixture on derby day. It is a consistent event that never fails to have participants, fans and volunteers smiling. Over the years, the Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby has produced national champions, stories of courage, tears, and a long list of inspirational stories. The derby personifies family on all levels. Each driver is part of a larger extended derby family and that’s the way organizers and fans like it. COURTESY PHOTO

Luke Morris gets a hug from Frankie Gilmore following his win in the Super Stock division at the 2018 Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby as committee member Troy Frazier looks on.
➤ Morris, from Page 4 in 2014, said that he was working on his stress control this year but as he sat at the top of the track in the finals against last year’s stock winner Alana Durica, he was battling his nerves. “Normally I’m able to put it out of my mind, but this time I couldn’t,” Luke said. “It was pretty stressful.” Morris was coming out of the winners bracket and had started the day with a win over Durica. The two faced off in the finals, a fitting bookend to the day. Durica had a tough road to the finals, having to defeat Kayla Crawford twice in the finals of the consolation bracket to face Morris again. That led to a moment when track officials realized that Crawford
and Durica hadn’t traded tires back after the last race, after Morris and Durica had recorded one heat already. They reset and then Morris won on the final heat to be crowned Super Stock champion. Morris said moments like that can throw him off his game, but he was able to maintain his focus. “Sometimes it does, sometimes these little mishaps do, but I think I held it together pretty well,” Luke said. For the Morris family, they’ll know enjoy the racing at the All-American Soap Box Derby in Akron, Ohio. “We try to keep this just fun and have a good time with it,” Robbie said. “If you take it too serious it’s not fun.”

In short, Russell believes that patients are more than a collection of symptoms and conditions. “I take a holistic and integrative approach to all of my patient care and inform patients and their families of both the standard medical approach as well as any alternative or natural approaches,” Russell said. “I want my patients to make informed decisions about their health care, because ultimately, they’re in charge of their health, and my job is to work alongside them and assist them in achieving their health goals.” Russell’s interest in medicine began at a young age, when her family participated in mission trips to the Philippines. It was there Russell
Sarah Russell, FNP
first experienced the satisfaction of helping people care for injuries, and the feeling never left— nor did her interest in mission work, something she still does from time to time.
As a family nurse practitioner, Russell has accumulated a wide range of experience in her 13year career, allowing her to gain special insight in areas that include emergency medicine, weight loss, gynecological health, pediatrics, and integrative medicine. At Wellspring, she puts all of those skills and more to use in an environment that’s in sync with her approach to care. “In talking with Wellspring, I learned that if I came on board, I’d be able to practice in the manner I felt passionate about,” Russell said. “The Wellspring philosophy of care is much like my own—patient-focused and holistic, with attention to prevention and not just disease management.”

HOME & GARDEN Summer brings butterflies ... and butterfly counts Summer is here, and annual butterfly counts across North American are looking for volunteers, including counts in Rappahannock and Fauquier Counties and Shenandoah National Park. Monitoring butterfly populations is not only important in determining their health but is a great way to learn about these important pollinators. The three local counts mentioned here, all in July, share data with the North American Butterfly Association (naba.org) as part of the association’s annual “Fourth of July” count held throughout the United States. Using NABA’s protocols, the local counts each monitor areas within a 15-mile-

diameter circle. Volunteer counters are organized into teams, usually led by experienced counters. The public is welcome to participate, with no experience and expertise required. Some counts offer training, and as someone who was not an expert when I first participated in our local count, I highly recommend taking it. Training not only to helps to improve the accuracy of the count but can make the whole experience a lot more rewarding for everyone involved. NABA requires a fee of $3 per person to support aggregating the data, and local counts may charge more to cover other costs, such as reference materials and refreshments. The three counts listed here waive the fee for participating children; ages included vary by count. While the Fourth of July counts are usually fun as well as educational, volunteers should prepare for conditions in the field this time of year, which is usually good for
butterflies but can be uncomfortably hot for people counting them. Count circles are also likely to include varying terrain, from open fields to forest and wetland. With the weather and terrain and in mind, count organizers suggest volunteers wear sturdy boots (preferably tall ones), long pants and a hat and bring water, sunscreen and insect repellent. Close-up binoculars and a camera are also recommended in helping with spotting and identifying species. Although counts may provide identification guides to hand out or share, many volunteers bring their own field guide, such as Kaufman Field Guide to Butterflies of North America or Peterson’s A Field Guide to Eastern Butterflies. While the counts all use NABA monitoring protocols, they may vary in other ways; check below for more details. Rappahannock County Old Rag Master Naturalists hosts
the Little Washington-Rappahannock County Butterfly Count, listed by NABA as the “Washington, VA” count. ORMN offers a butterflyidentification workshop and a count for kids before the official count. All three activities require registration. For information or to register, email butterflycount2018@ gmail.com. The ORMN website (oldragmasternaturalists.org) should also have more information about the count soon. Kids Count Butterflies! (July 14, 10-11:30): This well-received, free addition to the official count is for kids 6 and older accompanied by a parent or guardian. The kids learn about how to identify butterflies as well as about the biology and the important role butterflies play in our ecosystems. The kids then practice their newly learned skills, under the guidance of their ORMN instructors, in the fields of Waterpenny Farm. ➤ See Butterflies, Page 11

Camp Red Arrow teaches faith, fun in the summer By Jeff Say
Culpeper Times Staff Writer It was only fitting that Bobby Page was skydiving into Camp Red Arrow last Thursday. The longtime skydiver with Orange Skydiving is used to making leaps of faith - and that’s what they teach at the summer camp - located in Stevensburg - run by Children’s Bible Ministries of Virginia. Page donated his services to entertain the more than 70 campers last week with a demonstration of his skydiving abilities. After landing, he exchanged high-fives, took selfies and autographed campers shirts while talking about that “leap of faith.” “It’s very apropos,” Page said. “There’s a lot of times that you jump and any jump could be your last jump. Any time you get in a car, it could be the last time you get in a car. It’s all about living our lives they way we want to live them while we’re here.” Chris Hansen, Director of Teaching, Camp Red Arrow Program Director for Children’s Bible Ministries, said that he reached out to Page a few weeks ago and he quickly agreed to skydive for the camp-
ers along with Cameron Gonzalez and Tammer Ramini. Hansen said a skydive like this normally would cost $5,000, but Page donated his time because he has a heart to teach children about the sport. “Skydiving alone is a blast, but once I was introduced to doing exhibition jumps, it’s just a step above skydiving itself,” Page said. “Being able to perform and show off the sport to people. A lot of people have misconceptions about the sport today.” The skydivers jumped from about 5,000 feet up, taking pictures along the way as the children waved flags and pool noodles. Originally the Washington Redskins’ training camp in the late 1970s and early 1980s under head coach Joe Gibbs, Camp Red Arrow was officially opened in 2012 by the Children’s Bible Ministries as a summer camp for students who have attended the rolling Bible trailers at public schools in Culpeper, Fauquier, Orange, Madison, Greene, Page and Spotsylvania counties. There are still traces of the football camp at Red Arrow. ➤ See Camp, Page 11

➤ Camp, from Page 10 “At the bottom of the pool, there are initials ‘PFI,’ which stands for Professional Football International, which is their union,” Hansen said. The 48 acre camp now hosts about 400 campers a summer, with more than 70 visiting the week of June 11. It was once owned by Mulford School in Washington, D.C., but was bought by investors and donated to Children’s Bible Ministries in 2007. After extensive work was done to the camp, it was officially opened in 2012. Now campers from the seven counties enjoy dozens of activities including the Olympic sized pool, Olympic sized pool, archery instructors, riflery, low ropes course, slingshot range, fishing and boating, rock climbing wall, foosball, photography class, gardening class, golf range, nature trail and more. Campers learn about the camp during the released time ministry at the public schools in the counties. “They can earn scholarships by memorizing scripture or doing mail-

box lessons,” Hansen said. “There are several children here who have earned a full scholarship.” “We’re not here trying to make a profit, we’re here to spread the word (of God),” Hansen said. Campers like Floyd T. Binns’ eighth-grader Lilly Durrer said they look forward to coming back to the camp each summer. “It’s really fun, a good experience,” Durrer said. “A lot of people come and talk to you about purity and about mission trips.” Campers have their electronics taken from them at the start of camp - in an effort to help them connect to nature and God. “I don’t miss my electronics at all, I don’t even think about them,” Durrer said. “I don’t even think about life outside of camp because it’s so interesting and fun.” Fellow FTB eighth-grader Rylie Hensley has been coming for four years and said she loves reconnecting with her friends. “I like to get closer to God and learning more about him,” Hensley said. “They teach me some of the stories in the Bible that I don’t really know about. It just brings you closer to God.”
organization, hosts Fauquier County’s only annual butterfly count, now in its 23rd year. The count was formerly hosted by an arm of the institute, Environmental Studies of the Piedmont, which has recently been folded into the larger organization. Having started independent of NABA’s Fourth of July count, the local count has been collaborating with the NABA’s national count for 16 years. The institute also is holding a butterfly-identification workshop before the count. Both activities start at Clifton Institute, 6712 Blantyre Road, Warrenton.

Airlie Center NABA Butterfly Count (July 28, 8-4): Listed by NABA as the “Airlie, VA” count, the count circle centers on the Peterson Butterfly Garden at Airlie. Harris adds that “beginners and photographers are most welcome.” Refreshments are provided when volunteers meet in the morning, and ice water is available all day.

THEATRE • 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 churchcommittee 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 3p.m. at Prince Michel Barrel Room, 154 Winery Lane, Leon. 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.
FILM • “Angels in the Outfield” (Disney, 1994) Roger (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is a foster child whose recently widowed and irresponsible father (Dermot Mulroney) sardonically promises that they can live as a family again when Roger's favorite baseball team, the perpetually losing California Angels, wins the pennant. Roger’s prayers to turn the team around are answered when a real angel (Christopher Lloyd) and a band of his colleagues perform a few miracles on the field. Danny Glover plays the team’s skeptical manager with Tony Danza, Adrien Brody and Matthew McConaughey in the cast as members of the California Angels team. Also in supporting roles are Ben Johnson and Brenda Fricker. Updated from the 1951 film of the same name, “Angels in the Outfield” takes liberties with the original to bring the sentimental values to a modern setting. Rated PG, 102 min. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken. FILM • “42” (Warner Bros., 2013)
This critically acclaimed biopic focuses on the relationship between legendary baseball star Jackie Robinson (Chadwick Boseman) and Brooklyn Dodgers general manager Branch Rickey (Harrison Ford), who signed Robinson to the team in 1947, breaking Major League Baseball's infamous color line that had existed in professional baseball since the 1880s. The contract subjected both Robinson and Rickey to condemnation from the public, the press and even other players. Facing blatant racism from every side, Robinson was forced to demonstrate tremendous courage and restraint by not reacting in kind, knowing that any incident could destroy his and Rickey's hopes. Instead, Number 42 let his talent on the field do the talking-ultimately winning over fans and his teammates, silencing his critics, and paving the way for others to follow. Robinson was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962. In 1997, baseball commissioner Bud Selig universally retired Jackie Robinson's number, 42. Rated PG-13, 128 min. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken.

TECHNOLOGY Are you ready to own a flying car? There are certain technologies that fall into the category of things we never knew we needed. I think pretty much anything in the world of social media, such as Facebook, Snapchat, or Instagram, falls into that category. But there is undeniably one type of technology that has been dreamed about for decades that could be getting closer to reality: personal flight devices. I’ve always enjoyed airplanes. Earning my private pilot certificate back in 2008 was one of the most challenging and thrilling things that I’ve ever achieved. The process took about two years due to obstacles such as plane availability, mechanical issues, severe weather, and even life in general. But, we could be on the

verge of the dawn of a new age of flying. Boeing in 2017, sponsored a global competition called GoFly, with $2 million in prizes to create a personal flying device. Just this past week, they announced the designs of the 10 finalists. They received designs from 95 countries totaling more than 3,000 entries. The rules for the contest were straight forward. The personal flying device must be safe, quiet, ultracompact, capable of vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL), and be able carry someone 20 miles without refueling. While it sounds a lot like a jetpack, in reality, the finalists’ designs look more like oversize drones or flying motorcycles. You can check them out here https://bit.ly/2l9RKhW. The next steps in the contest are building prototypes by March 2019 and flight tests in the fall of 2019. But this isn’t a new initiative in the field of aviation technology.

has developed a flying car with his company Kitty Hawk. Last month, CNN reporter Rachel Crane, took the prototype out for a controlled flight over water, described the controls as similar to an old Atari joystick and a sliding knob. Both Kitty Hawk and Uber want to get to full-fledged flying cars. UberAir even has the stated goal of starting their flying taxi service by 2023. I can already hear you asking, “But what about those jet packs?”. Believe it or not jetpacks do exist. At least one anyway. The current problem with jet packs are they burn too much fuel and are too loud. Battery capacity isn’t there yet to make an electric jetpack feasible. As a result, those hurdles have caused many companies (including Google) to stop working on jetpack technology. The idea behind the GoFly contest is similar to other contests used in the early 2000s for autonomous vehicles. The contests help drive innovation. And now we are on the verge of
self-driving cars with passengers to go along with the self-driving semitractor trailers already hauling goods. Other existing technology has played a key role in advancing key elements of “flying cars”. The gyroscope sensors used in your cell phone help pave the way by automatically creating stable flights for drones or other VTOL aircraft. But don’t expect to see people zipping across the sky even if all the technical barriers are defeated. There will need to be a lot of rules and regulations to be sorted out, including pilot training, navigating urban airspace, and communicating between aircraft. Only time will tell if we can get to the practical application phase of truly widespread personal flying devices. John Barker is the Chief Operating Office with Attollo Systems LLC in Culpeper.

HISTORY Letters home from William H. Stowe ZANN’S PLACE Zann Nelson
Editors’ Note: In commemoration of the 145th anniversary of the Battle of the Wilderness, Zann Miner produced and directed a play based on the letters of William H. Stowe, 2nd Vermont Co F. Today is the final article in the series.
Last week Cpl. Stowe was confronted with yet another conundrum often found on the battlefield; the enemy soldiers looked a lot like his own tent mates, friendly, helpful and also wanting to go home. By December of 1863, the Union Army of the Potomac with an estimated 120,000 troops, including Cpl. Stowe and the 2nd Vermont, had settled in Culpeper County, VA. In March, Gen. Ulysses S. Grant took command of the army and planned his Overland Campaign. “April 14, 1864 Camp at Brandy Station, VA Dear Mother: This evening I got your letter of the 7th it found me well and with the exception of having the teeth ache for two or three days. Yesterday I had it extracted taking a piece of the jaw with it but today I am in no pain. Those pictures I sent home are some of the boys of my acquaintance. I intend to have nearly all the boys picturs that came out with me. If nothing happens more than I know of now I have onley 45 days longer to stay. The Regiment is due to be mustered out on the first not the 20th of June. It is now Spring and the weather fine. I could stay hear well enough if it were not for one thing and that is my longing for the quiet of home. I am sick of war. Three long years I have bin surrounded with the grim sentinels of death & I want to get out of it. As it is getting late in the evening I will lay this aside for roll call and finish in the morning. good night.” On May 3rd, Cpl. Stowe and the 2nd Vermont received orders to prepare three days rations and join the rest of the Army of the Potomac in a march to the east through the Wilderness of Spotsylvania and Orange Counties. Grant hoped to pass quickly through this area but Robert E. Lee had other plans: by attacking the Northern forces in the tangled second growth forest he could neutralize Grant’s advantages in men
and artillery. At midday on May 5, the First Vermont Brigade, including William Stowe’s regiment was at the center of the Union lines near the intersection of the Brock and Orange Plank roads. In the furious struggle that ensued for control of the crossroads, the Vermont units played a key role in holding off the Southerners and narrowly avoiding a catastrophic defeat for Grant. On that fateful day, in a span of a few hours, the 1st Brigade suffered over 1200 casualties, including William H. Stowe. Cpl. Stowe’s body was later retrieved from the Wilderness and transported home to Calais, Vermont where he is buried. **************** Epilogue 180,000 troops engaged at the Battle of the Wilderness suffered an estimated 29,000 casualties. Over the days and weeks to follow, hundreds of letters arrived in homes in Ohio, Virginia, New York, Texas and 23 other states. And yet, other families would never learn the fate of their loved one; who had died unknown in an anonymous field or hospital. The costs of the Civil War were almost beyond calculation, but this greatest of American tragedies had lasting positive impact. The term ‘United States’ changed from a plural to a singular noun. The permanently unified nation “conceived in liberty” would endure and prosper and “the proposition that all men are created equal” was determined once and for all time to mean exactly what it says. Lincoln, Grant, Lee, and myriad other larger than life personalities made the

But countless men and women like William Stowe and his family and friends, and their Southern counterparts, each played critical roles in this epoch. Their commitments and sacrifices made possible many of the blessings that we enjoy. Though our journey to “a more perfect union” continues, it is led, in no small fashion, by their example.

Main Street, Madison, VA • (540) 948.5095 1533, the Italian monks traveled to France with the pastry chef of Catherine de Medici, wife of King Henry the II. At that time, the macaroon was a small 11am-4pm biscuit/cookie made primarily with ground everyday almonds or almond paste. As times modernized, flavorings would be added such as honey, vanilla, and chocolate. During the period of the French Revolution, two nuns fled to Nancy, France, seeking refuge at the newly established monastery. To pay for their upkeep, they would bake macaroons cookies to sell and they became known as the Macaroon Sisters. European Jews took the original recipe for macaroons and added coconut. 16125 Ira Hoffman Lane Dense and chewy coconut macaroons are very Culpeper, VA 22701 popular in the United States and the United 540-825-4978 Kingdom.

dessert at Passover as they do not have any flour or leavening agent. Macaroons in France are known as “rocher à la noix de coco, or coconut rocks.” Macarons have a very similar beginning to the macaroon, they have been traced back to Venetian Monasteries in the 8th century A.D. As with the macaroons, the same story picks up with Catherine Medici and her Italian pastry chef. It seems that both the macaroon and the macaron had the same beginnings and then the delicacy evolved, and the macaroon was made from more ground almonds or almond paste with an emphasis on shredded coconut and the macaron had some ground almonds but was primarily egg whites and flavoring. The base of the macaroon and the macaron are both made from ground almonds/almond paste and egg whites. The macaroon as more almonds and the macaron has more egg whites. It wasn’t until the 1830’s that the macaron was made with two halves and filled, as a sandwich cookie, with buttercream, ganache or jam. This cookie was originally called the Gerbet or Paris Macaron. Two pastry chefs lay claim to having created the macaron as it is consumed today, Pierre Desfontaines, of the French patisserie Laduree, or another baker Claude Gerbet. Whether it was Desfontaines or Gerbet that invented the current version, doesn’t matter once I have put one in my mouth. Patisserie Laduree currently is the premier producer of double-layer macarons and sells approximately 15,000 per day between their French and U. S. locations. However, unless you are traveling in Paris or New York and can easily access Laduree, the macarons carried at the Frenchman’s Corner are made using the similar process as those produced by Patisserie Laduree. The Frenchman’s Corner currently carries both Macaroons, completely dipped in dark chocolate, and Macarons which are in packages of three with 9 different flavors and we will have new flavors coming in soon. Of the new flavors coming to the Culpeper, there will be: Lemon Poppyseed, Strawberry Banana, Blueberry Lemon, Cherry Chocolate and Black Currant with Lavender. Who can resist?

Voices of Addiction and Recovery Symposium June 27 ➤ Area experts come together to discuss how to deal with community epidemic By Fran Cecere
For the Culpeper Times Addiction and recovery are major concerns across the country and in our own community. On Wednesday, June 27 at 6:30 PM Windmore Foundation for the Arts will present “Voices of Addiction and Recovery.” Experts from our area will present information on this subject. The symposium will be held at the Culpeper Baptist Church Community Center. All are welcome to this free event. This project has been made available through a grant from the Rappahannock Electric Cooperative “The Power of Change” program and the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services, “Community Partner Prevention Program Support Grant.” Dee Fleming has developed a brochure that will give information about how to find help and who to call if needed. Her presentation at the event will be a discussion, from a personal point of view, about the struggles of trying to help a family member with addition and the recovery process. For more information visit Fleming’s Facebook page, “Culpeper Overdose Awareness.” Fleming believes “a thriving, community can only be built upon a foundation of healthy individuals and families. Addiction has affected countless Culpeper citizens. If we truly desire a supportive community, we must come alongside those who are struggling with addiction, meet them where they are, understand how extremely difficult it is to stop, and strengthen, support and encourage them towards restoration. Every addict can ultimately become a productive member of society and it benefits us all to do everything in our power to help make that happen.” Dr. Alta DeRoo, Director of UVA OBGYN, a department of Novant Health UVA Health System, Culpeper Medical Center, will present options for treatment of opioid use disorders, opioid addiction, and opioid abuse in pregnancy. In addition, she will
address treatments to reduce Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, giving information about babies withdrawing from opioids. Dr. DeRoo believes, “It takes a team to increase awareness of the opioid crisis so that there can be a reduction of the stigma attached to this medical affliction. Through this, hopefully, we can encourage more to seek treatment without judgement.” Captain Tim Chilton of the Culpeper Police Department will discuss the response of law enforcement to the opioid crisis. Local, state, and regional departments are aware of the need for educational information to provide an avenue for treatment. Chilton feels that “rebuilding bridges between law enforcement and the community is a primary goal. One of our major changes has been learning to educate as much as enforce.” Alan Rasmussan, Prevention Specialist with Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services, stated, "We cannot do this alone. This is a community issue and it needs community solutions. Everyone needs to be involved and anyone can help make a difference and save a life!" He will discuss what can be done to make changes that can ease the burden on the family and the addict. After the speakers, there will be a question and answer session. Before and after the symposium there will be time to visit the community organizations that will have tables with their information. There will also be artwork done by people with addiction. This has facilitated by Chris Connell, Manager McShin Foundation, Warrenton Recovery Center. Connell states, “This event is important to educate the community about the disease of addiction. More importantly we need to allow the community the opportunity to see that someone struggling from addiction is a person, whose family also struggles with them. Recovery is possible, if it is sought.” Between speakers, volunteers will read poems which were written by addicts or their family members. Light refreshments will be provided. For more information about this event, please visit windmorefoundation.org or call 540547-4333.
