LO C A L N E W S Fire department gets creative with fundraising “We are no longer in the bingo business.” After moving away from hosting bingo, Salem Volunteer Fire Department’s volunteers got creative about their fundraising techniques. Years before the COVID-19 pandemic shut down all fundraising activities, Associate Member Kim Atkins said, the department ceased hosting its weekly bingo games when they realized the uptick in other local gambling options. “Bingo was our main fundraiser, but bingo was starting to die off with all the gambling options out there,” Former President Kevin Winn. “We were already working to have something else in place.” “It wasn’t making the money it used to make, so we had to at least supplement it, and eventually we saw the writing on the wall.” In October 2018, the department held its first Witches and Warlocks Bash, an adult Halloween party as a way to get creative about raising funds. We did really well that year,” Atkins said. “We packed the house.” She estimated approximately 250 people filled the department's former bingo hall, which spans 10,000-square-feet. “We even have fun.” she added. “We love working them.” Two more concerts were held before stay-at-home orders were passed down due to the pandemic. When businesses were able to reopen again briefly in the summer, the department held two more concerts before having to shut down again. Despite deciding in December 2021 to no longer host bingo, the department hadn’t done so since 2018. “There’s a different group of people now,” Atkins said. “It's not worth opening the doors up if you don’t

The next concert will be held from 8-midnight on July 23 at 13428 Scotts Mill Road, Culpeper. The event will feature the band Reborn. In preparation for expanding their music offerings, the department widened its stage, which features primarily local talent. In addition to the $20 admission

fee, the department also sells food and drinks to attendees, which all goes back to supporting the department. In October, the fundraising crew expects to host its first drag show,

courtesy of Winn’s nephew. Events are planned until November. Even with the concerts’ successes, the funds still haven’t reach peak bingo sums, however, Atkins and Winn are hopeful, considering they still consider themselves in the events’ building stage. To fill in gaps, the department holds other events such as a car show during Memorial Day weekend and a golf tournament coming up on Aug. 1. “The car show was something that we used to do some years back,” Atkins said. “We got a huge turnout because people were really missing the car show.” Despite five months of events on the horizon, Atkins and Winn said, they’ve begun planning next year’s programming and have already received interest in returning musicians.

State Climb creates fun summer space for teens Kids can come into the gym on Tuesdays from 8-10 p.m. to hang out and have fun. BY

Maria Basileo

Kids looking to take their summer plans to new heights can do so in Culpeper’s own rock climbing gym. “We really think it's good to have a positive place where they can go,” said Luke Lindeman, who coordinates High School Hangouts at State Climb. “Their parents know they’re in a safe space. They know where they are. They know what they're doing and the kids can also feel like they’re out and about in the town doing things.” State Climb, a rock climb and silks gym in downtown Culpeper, opened for business as a for profit business in January 2020, however, a year and a half later, the gym transitioned into a “pay what you can” nonprofit. “Anybody can come in, pay any amount of money they want to pay or nothing - to climb for the day and have access to our space,” Lindeman

barriers.” The gym has a solid number of programming for kids, including

High School Hangouts, which debuted on June 28. Kids can come into the gym on Tuesdays from 8-10 p.m. to hang out and have fun on the gym’s rock walls with the help of volunteers and silks with aid from instructors. “They can come in and climb and enjoy themselves on a summer evening,” Lindeman said. Lindeman explained climbers with any level of climbing experience can attend, even those who have never done it before. He said the gym comes outfitted with activities for anyone from a 4-year-old to a climber who finds themselves harnessed up multiple times a week. When schools starts back up again in fall, Lindeman said, he expects Hangouts to end with the possibility of a similar event being held on weekends. Soon, the gym hopes to put up a slackline, he continued. As the gym grows, so will programming. Spike ball, their most popular recurring programing, now has a consistent group of about 40 players each week. During Culpeper Renaissance Inc.’s First Fridays, the gym also hosts night climbing. maria@culpepertimes.com

Global data center coming to Culpeper Sandwiched between Germanna and CTEC, CloudHQ plans over two-million-square-feet of data centers. BY

Maria Basileo

Culpeper is speeding its way into becoming one of the country’s next technology hotspots with the recent plan from a global data center provider to build over two-millionsquare-feet of data centers in the McDevitt Technology Zone. CloudHQ via SAAM Ventures LLC purchased the properties totaling 98.5 acres in September 2021. The parcels, previously known as PowerGrid or Crown Jewel, is in front of the Culpeper Career and Technical Center and Germanna Community College on McDevitt Drive. It is already zoned industrial so data centers are a by-right use. CloudHQ intends to market the property to other businesses who may need data center needs. As the buildings become leased, construction would commence. During a Culpeper County Board

During construction, CloudHQ expects up to 1,000 skilled construction workers per building. Regular operations will require about up to 50 employees per

building. Tenants will employ up to 100 high-paying technology experts per building. In the past five years, CloudHQ has built over two-million-squarefeet of data center space and operates seven-million-square-feet. They have land committed for up to 20 million more square feet.

Once complete, the campus will be able to deliver up to 275 MW of IT load power. Currently, Rappahannock Electric Coop can currently provide 30 MW of power. CloudHQ have applied to rebuild the current line servicing this area, doubling line capacity. maria@culpepertimes.com

CRIME Embezzlement cases skyrocket stolen property monetary sum The first quarter estimated monetary value of stolen property totals over $830,000. Two recent high-dollar embezzlement cases initiated the highest estimated monetary value of stolen property figures in the Town of Culpeper in recent years. The embezzlement investigations involve two different local businesses, of which Town Police did not identify. The cases are not related, but one business had $600,000 stolen and the other had around $110,000 stolen. Each was stolen by their respective employees. Although both offenders have been

identified by detectives, both investigations remain active and on-going. According to police department reports submitted to Culpeper Town Council, this year’s first quarter from January through March - sum for estimated monetary value of stolen property totals $839,240.10, superseding total year estimations of stolen property for 2019 ($439,008.80), 2020 ($296,224.36) and 2021 ($380,522.63). In the first quarter of 2021, police

estimated $81,493.65 as the value of stolen property. In 2020, they reported $55,566.29 and in 2019, they reported $165,004. So far this year, an estimated $9,938.10 of property has been recovered. Despite the dramatic uptick in monetary value, the frequency of stealing-related crime has remained relatively the same. • In the first quarter of 2022, three burglaries, 55 larcenies and three motor vehicle thefts

were reported. • In the first quarter of 2021, one burglary, 88 larcenies and zero motor vehicle thefts were reported. • In the first quarter of 2020, one burglary, 74 larcenies and two motor vehicle thefts were reported. • In the first quarter of 2019, one burglary, 53 larcenies and four motor vehicle thefts were reported. maria@culpepertimes.com

CRIME 7

Death after car chase tentatively deemed ‘justified’ Despite the classification, the case remains open. BY

Maria Basileo

In a report published by the Virginia State Police on June 29, an incident from December 2021 that involved a car chase and death of a 21-year-old Culpeper man was deemed a justified officer-involved shooting. According to Virginia's Annual Crime Analysis, the incident took place on Dec. 17 and involved both the Culpeper and Rappahannock County Sheriff 's Offices. The report indicated the fatality of Jeremy A. Yates, 21, of Culpeper, was an officer-involved shooting and its status was deemed justified. VSP Public Relations Director Corinne Geller indicated via email that the Rappahannock Commonwealth’s Attorney issued a tentative ruling on the shooting, pending final closure of the case by the state police. The case file remains open/active until VSP receives the final report from the Virginia Department of Forensic Science, she continued. Once the report is received, the

DFS findings and final report from the Office of the Medical Examiner will be provided to the Commonwealth's Attorney for final review and adjudication. Northern District Administrator of the Chief Medical Examiner's Office Jennifer Smith disclosed also on June 29, Yates’s cause of death was multiple gunshot wounds and his manner of death was homicide. The medical examiner's office completed their investigation in early June. Used in medical terms, homicide is a manner of death classification meaning the killing of one by another. At 5:30 p.m. Dec. 17, the Town of Culpeper Police Department issued a "Be On the Lookout" notice to regional law enforcement for Yates. An Emergency Custody Order (ECO) had been obtained by authorities for him and it was believed at the time that he may have been armed. At about 9 p.m., a Madison County Sheriff 's deputy observed a 2018 Chevrolet Colorado, later understood to be operated by Yates, stopped in the roadway on Route 231, or Etlan Road, in Madison County. As deputies from the Madison County Sheriff 's Office approached the vehicle, Yates sped

away and a pursuit ensued, police said. During the course of the pursuit, Yates began firing shots at passing vehicles. When the pursuit continued north on Route 231 into Rappahannock County, a Rappahannock County Sheriff 's deputy became involved in the chase. It was during this time that Yates fired and struck a Rappahannock County Deputy's vehicle multiple times, according to police. As Yates was driving south on Route 707, or Slate Mills Road, near the intersection of Route 644, or Reva Road — which is inside Rappahannock County but right on the Culpeper County line — he began shooting at Culpeper County Sheriff 's deputies who were stopped in the roadway and facing north on Slate Mills Road, law enforcement said. The Culpeper County Sheriff 's Office personnel returned fire.

Yates’ vehicle then ran off the left side of the road, collided with an embankment, and overturned. Deputies attempted to administer first aid, but Yates died at the scene, police said. His remains were transported to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner in Manassas for examination and autopsy. Two handguns were recovered from the vehicle. At the request of Rappahannock County Sheriff Connie Compton, Culpeper County Sheriff Scott Jenkins, and Madison County Sheriff Erik Weaver, the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation Culpeper Field Office investigated the pursuit and shooting that ensued.

Dino ticket sales announced The Museum of Culpeper History announced the release date for tickets to this year’s annual DinoWalk program at Luck Stone’s Culpeper plant. Tickets will be available only through the online ticketing platform Eventbrite beginning at 8:30 a.m. on July 19. The event itself is scheduled for Sept. 24. The popular event enables attendees to tour a portion of one of the largest concentrations of dinosaur tracks in the world. Uncovered by accident by quarry operators in 1989, nearly 5,000 tracks were uncovered and recorded by scientists. “Tracks from Culpeper are in the collections of every major natural history museum in the world,” said the Museum’s Executive Director John Christiansen. The museum has been organizing

tours of the quarry site since 2015. The tracks are located in an active quarry site on private property owned by the Luck Stone Corporation. “Luck Stone has given tremendous support to this event over the years,” Christiansen said. “Not only do they allow us access to the site, but they donate staffing and logistical support during the event. Their commitment to protecting the tracks and to making them accessible to the public should be applauded.” The DinoWalk program has sold out every year, so those hoping to attend are urged to mark the release date on their calendars. “We have seen tickets sell out in only a few hours since moving to online sales,” Christiansen said. The cost will be $30 per vehicle. Souvenir t-shirts will also be available for pre-order.

Housing subdivision comes before planning commission BY

In a seemingly endless revolving door of housing development con-

struction planned locally, the first phase of a subdivision in the East Fairfax Magisterial District is potentially on the horizon. During a work session on June 30, the Town of Culpeper Planning Commision again heard plans for phase one of a site plan for a major subdivision called Laurel Park, which is set to contain 173 lots, 84 single family detached homes and 89 single family attached homes. The parcel, which has already been rezoned to Planned Unit Development, sits on 59.93 acres, located on Laurel Street Extension.

Above, The development consists of 306 lots to accommodate 135 detached single-family detached homes and 171 attached single family attached homes. At a June 21 meeting, the planning commission reviewed the plan, but due to concerns about traffic and the lack of attendance at the meeting, the commissioners voted to table the plans until a later meeting. The commissioners’ recommendation will go before Town of Culpeper Town Council at a later date. The first submission of the site

plan was received on November 1, 2021. The applicant submitted three revisions to the site plan, most recently on April 26. The overall approved development consists of 306 lots to accommodate 135 detached single-family detached homes and 171 attached single-family attached homes. The development includes 19.29

acres of open space to accommodate a park and other amenities. A total of 746 parking spaces will be provided in phase 1 through a combination of driveways/garages, off-street parking areas and on-street parking. The approved rezoning stipulated improvements to Laurel Street Extension, including widening the road,

dedicated turn lanes at the intersection, a traffic circle and emergency access road. Preliminary work on the traffic circle will be completed during the first phase, but access onto Laurel Park Drive won’t be available until phase 2 when the remainder of the traffic circle is constructed. maria@culpepertimes.com

July Fourth car show benefits local addiction recovery center Crowds turned out downtown to get a peek at some of the area’s finest cars. BY

Kimberly Quinones

The annual freedom car and bike show held in downtown Culpeper returned this Fourth of July to benefit a local addiction recovery center. The car show has been going on for more than 20 years and it is the second time the Christ-Centered Addiction Restoration Services (CARS) hosted this event. Their first show was held in Culpeper last year on July 4th, but this year, organizers received the approval from Culpeper Renaissance Inc. to hold it a second time. Shelley Burnham, a board member for CARS and the event’s organizer, said that a big motivator for the event is people wanting to know the categories their vehicles fit into. “People were interested in how we were judging and what trophies were being rewarded,” she said. Shirley Cox, an event organizer and CARS representative, said that while attendees are interested in trophies, they also came knowing that it is a fundraiser for her organization, which offers services for people and families affected by addiction. “We wanted an opportunity to bring the community together, but we also wanted people to be aware of the services we provide,” she said. More than 4,000 people attended and in excess of 200 vehicles registered for the event. Jean Malone, a participant originally from Fredericksburg, said this was the second time he entered one of his vehicles, this time being a 1959 Chevrolet Biscayne. “My first car I entered was my 1959 Packard Super 8,” he said. “I’ve come to this show about six times now, and it’s nice when the street closes because it makes for a good crowd of people.” Classic cars were not the only vehicles registered. About twelve motorcycles entered the show, and it was Howard Booe’s first time entering his 2014 Victory Cross Country. “I’m from North Carolina, but I’ve lived in Fredericksburg for two years now,” he said. “This is my first show, and I love coming out here to see the vehicles and supporting the community.” While many individuals come out to see the cars, they’ve also expressed interest in the services that CARS provides. One is a 12-step program called “RESTORE,” which varies from closed meetings for the affected person to open meetings in which loved ones can attend to discuss their addiction. "Our support groups can provide support not only for the person addicted, but to families as well," Cox said.

The car show has been going on for more than 20 years and it is the second time the Christ-Centered Addiction Restoration Services (CARS) hosted this event. Aside from the people, there were a plethora of booths where people could stop and look at amenities being contributed. Sponsors included Integrity Automotive, an auto repair shop, and Xpress Copy and Graphics, a printing company in Culpeper. Responses to the show were positive. Cox mentioned that people love coming to the show because there is a love for classic cars. "They were very excited, and were willing to step up even in the most difficult of times," she said. "By evidence of the companies sponsoring the car show, the response has been very welcoming," Burnham added. Local artists performed to hype the festivities. Because it was the 4th of July, it gave CARS an opportunity to host an event that allowed people to celebrate America's Independence as well. "Music adds excitement to the festivities," Cox emphasized. "When they get tired of walking, they can just sit and listen." The response from both organizers and the city paved the way for people to come see their favorite vehicles in action. A participant from Maryland hosted her 2014 Chevrolet Mustang. "My favorite vehicle is by far my own," she said. "I've always adored the Mustang, and since this is my first show, I just like seeing the other cars in general." Another big fan of the show is Patrick, a contributor who entered his red, white, and blue Harley Davidson. He is originally from France, but has lived in Sperryville for some time and

has been coming for ten years. "My favorite thing is the classic cars and bikes," he said. "I love the 1950 Indian Chief." While they were excited to host the

show for a second time, Burnham and Cox are hopeful that this show will continue for years to come. "We hope that it continues to be a family favorite tradition for the town," they said.

Genealogy in the Digital World BY

Summer has arrived with quite a blast of heat and humidity. That and the addition of historically high gas prices has definitely put a damper on my urge to travel. Luckily, living in the digital age one of my favorite hobbies, namely genealogy, has evolved to a point where I can accomplish a great deal of research without leaving the county. An increasing amount of old newspaper articles, obituaries, photographs and original records are available online through both paid and free sources on the Web. While more information than ever before is available online, it is not quite as easy as the TV commercials lead you to believe. It takes more than one touch of a

computer key in most cases. If it were too easy there wouldn’t be the thrill of the hunt or the joy of putting a family puzzle together. Being a member of the Culpeper County Library gives our citizens free access to online genealogical sites that a person would ordinarily need to pay for. The library version of Ancestry.com is available to use for free in the Library building, the only charge is for printouts. The Library provides access to several genealogy databases you can access at home through the internet. Fold3 provides access to military records. Heritage Quest Online provides access to the US Census, American Revolution records, Freedman Bureau Records

as well as many digitized family and local histories. Heritage Hub from Newsbank gives access to obituaries from newspapers nationwide from 1704 to the present. Obituaries can be a rich source of family information. These resources can be used inside the Library as well. Library staff is available to be of assistance in the use of these resources both in person and over the phone. Happy Hunting!

Let Freedom Ring (On Second Thought…) BY

In light of the July 4th holiday, America’s Day of Independence (and particularly its proximity to Juneteenth which was my day of Independence;) I’ve been thinking a lot about Freedom. What is freedom, and how is freedom attained; how is freedom maintained and who gets to decide those who enjoy it? If one takes a look at the January 6th Hearings, or took notice of the recent Supreme Court cases or even found themselves shaking their heads related to COVID-19 protocols and/or vaccinations as well as the price hikes related to inflation, one would probably consider Freedom a convoluted thing; one relative to the people, space, time, and circumstance It occupies. What’s freedom today isn’t necessarily freedom tomorrow; what’s freedom for one isn’t necessarily the same freedom experienced by others. We started our journey for Freedom in part because of the efforts of the likes of Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, and Madison (to name a few;) yet their freedom wasn’t universal. In 1788 Jefferson, an architect of the American experience and perhaps one of Its greatest citizens ever,) is attributed this quote: “I advance it therefore as a suspicion only, that blacks … are inferior to the whites in endowments both of body and mind.” 12 of the first 18 U.S. Presidents were slave owners while 8 owned slaves while

serving in office; four of the first five were Virginia landowners, and their presidency‘s from 1789 to 1825 represent governmental policy that was shaped by (and benefited from,) the institution and livelihood of slavery. We cannot say that our Nation was not influenced by notions of white male supremacy; they were the only ones who could vote, who had power, and who wielded it at their discretion. Furthermore, we can’t say that it wasn’t the reason for the internal conflict known as our Civil War as it was clearly documented by those who waged it. Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederacy as well as cotton plantation and slave owner in Mississippi stated “The Negro is not equal to the white man, slaverysubordination to the superior race is his natural condition..” **Selective Freedom was our foundation, and has been ingrained (codified even,) within the fabric of our American society since Its inception. The only question that remains is whether we will continue to ignore this truth and to perpetuate it by our own indifference or passivity. I don’t say any of these things as a blanket condemnation of our great Nation or any particular people; we are not responsible for the actions of those who came before us. We do, however, stand on their shoulders (for right, wrong, better, or worse,)

and are unquestionably responsible for recognizing the role of the past and its impact on our today. Additionally, we must have enough fortitude to do what is necessary and right to repair(from which we get the concept of reparations,) those past wrongs. Freedom in these United States of America must become a collective enterprise if We [the People] are going to continue to thrive. Black people must care about the freedoms of Hispanic people (and vice versa,) White Women must care about the freedoms of Black Women; People of Faith should be concerned about the freedoms of Gays and Lesbians, because if this is not the case we don’t really have freedom, only the illusion of it. As we contemplate the 246 years of Freedom that we have enjoyed as a Nation let us be mindful today that the next 246 will be contingent upon (at least in part,) how we think and what we do to advance liberty. We have missed the mark on numerous occasions, but that doesn’t prohibit us from taking another best shot. I say again, Let Freedom Ring..

The Marshall Plan | Lessons on Thrifty Living Return BY

His gravelly pirate-like voice still echoes through my memories and his stories remain legendary among all who loved him. He wore a slightly tilted maroon beret, shined shoes, Bermuda shorts, a military-style short-sleeved shirt and tropical socks—he had the look of a retired officer with a bit of Scottish/English panache. He often carried a cane. He rarely needed it— it was more of a swagger stick. In his later years, he enjoyed sharing dinner with his threegrandsons. Before the first bites of food were taken, he liked to offer a toast. “Ave you ‘eard o’ the Widow at Windsor, with an hairy gold crown on er head, she ‘as ships on the foam she ‘as millions at home and she pays us poor beggars in red… POOR BEGGARS in RED!” “Let’s eat Mateys,” he would add with a smile and raised glass. It came from a Rudyard Kipling poem. He was my maternal grandfather Captain David E. Lithgow (USN), a World War II veteran, champion swimmer, fencing master, boxing coach and world traveler. He had a chest full of medals that included the Military Order of the British Empire earned in the Battle of the Atlantic. He swam against Johnny Weissmuller and Duke Kahanamoku in college. He was in the horse artillery as a teenager in the National Guard. He lived into his 90s. This column is not just about my grandfather but a salute to the

As a kid it used to bother me to hear my Baby Boomer parents joke about the thrifty nature of my beloved grandfather. To me he was a living hero who sounded like a pirate. He had been to more places and had more adventures than anyone I had ever met. wisdom and grit of the Depression era citizen. As a kid it used to bother me to hear my Baby Boomer parents joke about the thrifty nature of my beloved grandfather. To me he was a living hero who sounded like a pirate. He had been to more places and had more adventures than anyone I had ever met. The men and women of his generation lived through tough times—the economy and war developed lean living, innovation, and the ability to fix problems. In his day, Americans possessed resilience and thrift on a level we do not fully understand. Here is a small list of my grandfather’s ideas that fortify me during this current economic downturn. Couches and car seats can be a goldmine of lost coins. Fix what is broken with tools—don’t just buy a new item. Buy quality things that last from your community and nation. Wake up early, eat some oats, work hard, be a man of honor, stand up for others. Protect your

family and honor your elders. Say your prayers like a superstitious sailor or a warrior poet. Individual sports like boxing, swimming, wrestling, fencing, and track are the true measure of an athlete (no one else to blame, and you get all the glory). These sports build character and a strong chin. Drive and maintain your car long enough to make it vintage. My grandfather drove a Chevy Corvair (with no AC) in Florida for half a century. Air conditioners are only needed in the rooms you are sleeping in. He turned the central AC off at night in South Florida and only used a fan in his bedroom. Use rainwater to water plants and home gardens. Grow your own fruit, vegetables, and herbs. It helps save money and the food is fresher. Reuse, recycle, and reduce consumption (not just for ecowarriors these days). You do not have to be the best at everything, just better than most people. Be a gentleman and always

admire the ladies with the eyes of an artist. Serve your community and nation. Be proud of your ancestors. Every time you eat at a cheap buffet restaurant grab a couple mints when you leave. Toss the mints in a bag. When Halloween returns you can give the trick-ortreaters a few mints. Watch your stocks and business ventures as intently as sports or entertainment. Exercise daily, swim, and take lots of walks. Talk to your neighbors. Keep moving and you might not ever die, one must stop moving to take a dirt nap. It is useful to hear his voice in my memory these days when I am confronting high prices on fuel, groceries, and everyday items. I have a book with photographs from the Great Depression. There is a hand painted sign that reads five hotdogs for a quarter. A person living then would probably think I could feed my family. A person today would probably think they could enjoy all five hotdogs. The thriftiness that used to be funny now makes sense. Thank you, Captain.

American ambition is alive BY

This past Independence Day should have taught us all something - that the American Ambition is alive and true. This means becoming a lifelong learner, having a commitment to community excellence and American pride. This is also what Career and Technical Education strives for and begs the question, “what did you do this summer?” Remember returning to school after your summer break as a young 2nd grader or a growing 7th grader to answer that very question? I remember my young friends mostly talking about riding bikes, going on vacation and helping their grandparents with summer chores. As we got

VOICES

Randi Richards-Lutz

older, many of us had summer jobs to talk with our teachers and classmates about as we realized another summer had just passed us by. It has been a few decades since I was that student, but the same conversations still take place at the start of each new school year with young and old alike. Instead of waiting until August, I am asking those around me, “what did you do this summer?” While my reflection in the mirror has changed a bit since my youth, the answers to the question seem to remain the same. The answers revolve around self growth and ambition. I watched someone run in their first 5K race in Culpeper on July 4,

2022. After the race, she told me she had been working on this goal for almost a year and at 65 years old she was very proud of her first finish. A young man, maybe 3 years old, told me that he was learning how to ride a bike and his older sister told me she was learning to paint during a summer camp. We all had one thing in common with our answer to what did you do this summer and it was learning. We are lifelong learners. Whether at 3, 65 or closing in on 50 like me, summer tends to be a time to try something new. So, before this summer passes us by, let’s all try something new. Read a new book, start a new hobby, learn to swim or try your

hand at coloring or painting. Perhaps volunteer at the library or with a local non-profit. Afterall, we are lifelong learners and there is no better time than the present to try something small or big that leads to personal growth. Coincidently I asked my very active 88 year old Dad this morning, “what are you doing this summer?” After a cute chuckle he said, “whatever your Mother tells me.” Randi Richards-Lutz Randi Richards-Lutz is the Career and Technical Education Director at Culpeper Technical Education Center.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Drag photos unsuitable for children Dear Editor, I may take a lot of flack for this, but I was extremely disappointed with the cover and content of the current edition of The Culpeper Times. Let me state up front that I do not care what people do in private (provided that it legal, consensual, and does not hurt children). I really don't. What DOES bother me is when cross dressing men are displayed on the front cover of the newspaper where children can easily see it. It is displayed second the time (in case you missed it initially), in the middle section of the paper where there are another 5 large pictures on the same topic. Those pictures will most certainly be seen by children there. And why will that happen? Because

Culpeper Times • July 7-20, 2022

just a few pages away, there is another 15 page article about the Soap Box Derby. Because of the nature of the Derby, the participating children will be home looking looking for pictures of themselves and and their friends and in the the process, and will likely come across the large, color photos of these men dressed in women's clothing. Again, I don't particularly care what people do in the privacy of their own homes or strip or cabaret clubs (with the previous caveat). But please unless you are trying to follow the path of The Guardian, leave our children out of this kind of "news" story in the future. PLEASE! Mike Duby

Legal Notice NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY COLUMBIA GAS OF VIRGINIA, INC., FOR AUTHORITY TO INCREASE RATES AND CHARGES AND TO REVISE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO GAS SERVICE CASE NO. PUR-2022-00036 •Columbia Gas of Virginia, Inc. (“CVA”) has applied for authority for an increase in rates and charges and to revise the terms and conditions applicable to gas service. •CVA requests an increase to its total revenue requirement of $58.2 million. •The Hearing Examiner appointed to this case will hold a telephonic hearing in this case on December 13, 2022, to receive public witness testimony. •The Hearing Examiner will hold an evidentiary hearing in the case on December 14, 2022. •Further information about this case is available on the State Corporation Commission’s website at: scc.virginia.gov/pages/Case-Information On April 29, 2022, Columbia Gas of Virginia, Inc. (“CVA” or “Company”), filed an application with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”), pursuant to Chapter 10 of Title 56 (§ 56-232 et seq.) of the Code of Virginia (“Code”) and the Commission’s Rules Governing Utility Rate Applications and Annual Informational Filings of Investor-owned Gas and Water Utilities, requesting authority to increase its rates and charges, effective for the first billing unit of October 2022, and to revise other terms and conditions applicable to gas service (“Application”). In its Application, CVA indicates that the proposed rates and charges are designed to increase the Company’s non-gas base revenues by approximately $58.2 million per year. The Application states that the requested increase includes approximately $17.7 million of revenues associated with its Steps to Advance Virginia’s Energy (“SAVE”) Plan pursuant to Code § 56-603 et seq. (“SAVE Act”). CVA states that it is proposing to include recovery of the costs associated with approximately $154.4 million of net rate base SAVE investments as of September 30, 2022, in base rates, as permitted by the SAVE Act. CVA states that the requested increase in annual non-gas base revenues reflects (i) its costs and revenues for the test year ended December 31, 2021; (ii) the increase in the Company’s rate base since its last base rate increase in 2018, Case No. PUR-2018-00131 (“2018 Rate Case”); (iii) an updated capital structure and requested return on equity of 10.75%; and (iv) certain rate year adjustments that “reasonably can be predicted to occur” during the 12 months ending September 30, 2023, as permitted by Code § 56-235.2. In the Application, CVA represents that in the time since it was last authorized to increase its rates and charges in the 2018 Rate Case, the Company has made significant capital investments to improve the overall safety, reliability, and integrity of its natural gas system for the benefit of customers and to accommodate steady customer growth. CVA states it expects to make over $390 million in capital investments on behalf of its customers from 2021 through 2023. In its Application, CVA states that, in the time since the 2018 Rate Case, the Company has also continued to enhance pipeline safety and reliability through its formal integrity management program for its distribution system (“DIMP”) by identifying, prioritizing, and reducing gas distribution pipeline integrity risks. CVA indicates that, apart from DIMP initiatives, the Company conducts other operations and maintenance activities focused on further enhancing the safety of CVA’s infrastructure. The Company also proposes modifications to its currently effective Rate Schedules, General Terms and Conditions, and Form of Service Agreements. First, the Company proposes a three-month bill credit to return certain tax savings to customers associated with the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“TCJA”). Second, CVA proposes a new voluntary companion tariff, designated Rate Schedule GPS, that will enable residential and small general service customers to opt in to offset the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the natural gas they receive from the Company by either 50 percent or 100 percent using environmental attributes. Finally, the Company requests approval of modifications to its existing line extension policy. CVA requests that implementation of the rate and tariff modifications proposed in its Application be authorized on an interim basis subject to refund, effective for the first billing unit of October 2022. The Company asserts that, effective with the first billing unit of October 2022, the base rate increase and the implementation of the three-month TCJA-related bill credit will increase the average monthly bill of a typical residential customer using 5.4 dekatherms from approximately $79.54 to approximately $88.53, or by 11.30%. The Company further asserts that after the three-month bill credit expires, the Company’s proposed rates will result in an increase to the typical monthly bill for a residential customer using 5.4 dekatherms to approximately $89.38. Interested persons are encouraged to review the Application and supporting documents for the details of these and other proposals. TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may apportion revenues among customer classes and/or design rates in a manner differing from that shown in the Application and supporting documents and thus may adopt rates that differ from those appearing in the Company’s Application and supporting documents. The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing that, among other things, scheduled public hearings on CVA’s Application and permitted the proposed rate and tariff modifications to be placed into effect, on an interim basis subject to refund, effective for the first billing unit of October 2022. On December 13, 2022, at 10 a.m., the Hearing Examiner assigned to the case will hold a telephonic hearing, with no witness present in the Commission’s courtroom, for the purpose of receiving the testimony of public witnesses. On or before December 7, 2022, any person desiring to offer testimony as a public witness shall provide to the Commission (a) your name, and (b) the telephone number that you wish the Commission to call during the hearing to receive your testimony.
