LOCAL NEWS Raven's Nest offers Sunday brunch, small meeting space By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Culpeper has a new spot for brunch. Raven’s Nest Coffee House has been serving brunch since February and the new offering has quickly become a hit among regulars and visitors alike, said owner Jessica Hall. Nestled in the quiet upstairs of the bustling coffee house, the brunch setting is more intimate. She initially had hoped to serve salads and soups for the lunch menu upstairs, but that just didn’t seem to click. Instead, she thought she could offer customers a brunch special from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sundays. “I’m not a culinary trained chef but I grew up in a kitchen and I’ve been cooking my entire life,” Hall said. “I tried to stay as close to season and local as possible.” Her menu adjusts with the seasons, this summer she’s offered decadent items for the brunch menu - avocado with caviar and poached egg, galettes (a puff pastry) ranging from roasted pepper to ham, sticky buns, strawberry french toast casserole, a breakfast banana split and a goat cheese and fresh mozzarella blueberry pizza. “I’m not competing with what the chefs do,” Hall said. “It’s a small kitchen. It’s been fun.” She scours local farmers markets - trying to find the freshest ingredients. She always offers a fresh fruit cup to start the brunch, then the entree and a cup of coffee. It’s all offered for a fixed price of $17.95. The airy space is what ties it all together, with local artwork (some Hall’s) hanging from the walls. On a recent Monday afternoon, she sits at the kitchen counter looking around at the space, recalling how the day before it was bustling with conversation and laughter. “I don’t look at turning over my

tables, I look at creating a place that feels like a place where you want to sit down and make a connection,” Hall said. “Upstairs we don’t have technology. People talk across the table. It’s like you’re having brunch in someone’s home. I think what we’re missing is the intimate connection these days.” That intimate connection is something she’s offering to local organizations as well, opening up the space for small midweek meetings. She’s working with Sherri Azais of Premier Partnerships to accommodate groups of 15-30, with a smaller room in the back for even more intimate groups. She was approached by the Culpeper Democratic Committee about hosting an event and that’s when she realized that the space made for a perfect place to meet for small organizations during the week. She serves food from the Raven’s Nest menu or will whip up what groups are looking for. She already hosts the Novant Health UVA Health System Culpeper Medical Center’s Mom’s Cafe group and has had a few political events upstairs. She hopes that more small organizations will show interest in the coming weeks. For more about the space, email sherri@premierpartnerservices.com. The heart of downtown Hall opened Raven’s Nest in 2006, originally down East Davis Street before moving to her current location at 215 E. Davis in 2012. A Culpeper resident since 1958, Hall has fond memories of the town and is constantly evolving to attempt to offer what the community needs. “It’s interesting, you’re always trying something else,” Hall said. “Honestly, there have been times when I’m like ‘I’m done.’ For whatever reason it hasn’t worked so it’s like ‘OK, you still love it.’ It’s just time to revamp.” Where the rest of society is always

Raven's Nest Coffee House owner Jessica Hall poses in the intimate kitchen space she serves Sunday brunch at from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. involved in hustle and bustle, she prides her coffee shop on slowing the pace and offering healthy, fresh items off the menu. She said her customers come to her looking for healthy alternatives. “I think there’s an awareness of what fast food has done to them and they are looking for real food,” Hall said. “We have a more educated consumer. As a whole millenials are more conscious of what they’re consuming.” Having lived in Culpeper all her life, Hall has seen the town change. She’s grown up here, raised her children here and seen the area grow. She actively works to keep Culpeper’s identity’ that of a unique county seat with room for everyone. “There’s old Culpeper, there’s church Culpeper and then there’s the come heres,” Hall said. “That wanted to be anywhere America and the rest of us are fighting to keep it Culpeper. We don’t want it to be anywhere America. Culpeper is doing a great job of doing that, CRI has done a fabulous job.” Hall encourages people to talk in

her coffee shop - she points out that conservatives and liberals mingle together and discuss freely their viewpoints. “It’s a safe haven,” Hall said. “We invite you to talk, that’s how we grow. I may not always agree, but I promise to be civil and that’s coffee houses have historically been. We want civil discourse.” While the regulars are the lifeblood of the coffee shop, visitors are always welcome and Hall said there are many that use Culpeper as a meeting place on a yearly basis. They’ll come in with their Christmas or birthday presents, set up shop at a table and enjoy the day in Culpeper. The whole feel is very “old South,” how Hall was raised. “When I grew up, there were always two or three extra people in the kitchen,” Hall said. “You’d sit in the kitchen while my mom was cooking and you had big meals. That’s what I channel.” The coffee house is open from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily and brunch is offered on Sundays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Raising awareness of lynching in Culpeper ➤ CCHS alumni's documentary 'An Outrage' to be screened Sept. 24 By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer It’s a word that still makes people cringe when they hear it - lynching. However, it’s a word that is woven into the fabric of America and part of its history and reality - especially in Culpeper County. This year marks the 100th anniversary of the lynching of Charles “Allie” Thompson - an event that still reverberates through the Culpeper community and one that has at times not been recognized or publicized enough. It’s that reality that History Quest and local historian Zann Nelson is hoping to change by hosting a pair of events to remember the lynchings in Culpeper County and help educate the community. “A measure of our success will be to encourage a culture in our community that will not tolerate these symbols of injustice and oppression,”

she said. The first of the events, a screening of “An Outrage,” will be held Sept. 24 from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at Culpeper Baptist Church. “An Outrage” “An Outrage” is an award-winning documentary about lynching in the American South - coincidentally co-directed by a Culpeper County High School graduate. Lance Warren and his wife Hannah Ayers produced and directed the film that is being distributed by the Southern Poverty Law Center - which has written a curriculum to complement the film as part of its Teaching Tolerance project. The organization deployed the film and companion curriculum in fall 2017 to its network of more than 500,000 teachers — and their millions of students. Warren, a 2000 CCHS graduate, started on the project with his wife in 2016 and premiered the film in 2017. Since then, they’ve traveled to more than 65 community meetings screening their film. Coming back to Culpeper to screen the film and then host a conversation with Dr. Amy Tillerson-Brown, a Professor and History Department

➤ Outrage, from Page 4 a part of America’s past that is often overlooked or pushed aside. The film, an independent project the couple originated through their company Field Studio, started after working with the Equal Justice Initiative in Alabama and directing an online graduate program for history teachers. Part of that program was live broadcasting lectures from historians. “As we did that to the teachers who were attending, we were struck again and again that lynching kept coming up in these general lectures about American history, far more than lynchings had come up in our own educations,” Warren said. “For Hannah and I, lynching was very much the sidebar in our textbooks. It was an ancillary story to the main narrative of American history. The way the historians talked about lynching was that it’s integral to American history. We came to learn, in fact, it is.” Warren stated that there are more than 4,000 documented lynchings over a period of about 80 years or onethird of American history. Wanting to learn the human stories behind the numbers, Warren and Ayers made contact with families of those who were lynched and sat down with them in front of a camera - telling their relatives’ stories. “We found ourselves curious about the human stories behind those numbers,” Warren said. “They set us out on a project how we could tell a story of lynching throughout the American South that would have a home in classrooms and community gatherings.” The lynching of Allie Thompson was not featured in the film, but it served as a reminder about how lynchings were not at the forefront of education. Despite living for several years in Culpeper, Warren was not aware of the Thompson lynching. It wasn’t until Nelson’s research and the subsequent three-part series co-authored by Nelson and Alison Brophy Champion and published in the Culpeper Star-Exponent in 2006 that he became aware of of the story or the murder. “That’s an excellent example of growing up and not knowing much about the history of lynching,” Warren said. “I learned the basics growing up - that it was generally young African American men who were killed typically by hangings.” Warren and Ayers came to learn through the process of making the film that those basics had some truth to it - but it also left out a tremendous amount of information. “What it leaves out is reality,” Warren said. “The reality is lynching is far more than hanging, it was burning, it was shooting. It was far more than young men killed. Lynching had a disgusting diversity. That flies below the radar of mainstream Ameri-

can history.” Nelson points out that traditional history books often leave out lynchings - a part of history lost to time. “I don’t think it’s been preserved at all, maybe because we’re ashamed of it,” Nelson said. “It was terrorism in its purest form. The purpose of lynching was to control, oppress and intimidate a population of people through violence and fear.” Those are still tactics deployed today, Nelson said, pointing to the events in Charlottesville in 2017. “There are those that say ‘it’s in the past, let’s move on,’ but I would disagree,” Nelson said. “It’s very relevant today. We don’t want to dwell on it, but it is very important that we acknowledge that it happened and we become more aware of the signs of that type of oppression happening again.” Nelson’s work to shine a light on the history of lynchings in the county is indicative of many historians throughout America, Warren said. He praised her for her work and for the work of other activists who are working to highlight America’s connection to lynchings. “Often the way this hidden history is being dragged into the light is by committed community members,” Warren said. “They’re doing the hard work, going to the archives, talking to the ancestors, finding the outlet to write about this.” Ayers and Warren used some of that research and those accounts to track down family members who had spoken previously about their family’s history with lynchings. They were careful to approach families who were actively discussing their loss. “We knew going into this that families deal with painful past in many different ways,” Ayers said. “It was important to us to approach people who have taken on some activist role in addition to their interest in their personal family history.” The reaction they’ve received has often been surprising, no matter how many times they encounter it. Often someone will stand up during their community presentations and say “my uncle was lynched” or “my great-grandmother was lynched.” “It stays surprising even though we had become so aware of how prominent the violence was,” Ayers said. Educating America Among African-American communities, the topic isn’t as hidden away. Family members recall discussing the dangers, adults meeting to help keep their families safe. For white Americans, it’s often a surprise that these events took place in their own communities. “That is definitely one trend we’ve seen while out on the road,” Warren said. “We’ve screened to predominantly integrated audiences and we again and again find that we have

The scope, the complexity of lynching is news to many members of the white audience.” “There is a strikingly disturbing difference in what American history is depending on where you grew up.” The 33-minute film has garnered numerous awards since its premier and is on tour by invitation at universities, museums, and film festivals across the country, with more than 70 stops in 27 states through 2018. The SPLC is offering a curriculum for the film - something Nelson hopes local school systems will take advantage of. “I do think students, young people, need to be made aware that it did happen,” Nelson said. “It is an extension of a policy that already exists in many schools to recognize and prevent bullying. This certainly is not simply bullying, it’s an extreme form of that. I’m hopeful the school systems will look to their programs - I know Eastern View (High School) has a diversity program. Through these programs they can incorporate the signs of intimidation due to religion, or skin color or even gender. And then teach both the students and teachers how to do deal with the situations.” Schools interested in the curriculum can view it at https://www.tolerance.org/classroom-resources/filmkits/an-outrage. Warren and Ayers are looking forward to screening the film in Culpeper and continuing their mission of educating America about a dark chapter of its past. “We strongly believe as individuals, as students of history, as Virginians, as human beings that such acknowledgement is necessary,” Warren said. “To the extent that the event in September can help broaden people’s awareness of the history of lynching, to broaden people’s awareness that it took place in their own town.”

Remembrance and Reflection November event The event scheduled for Nov. 17 from 2 to 4 p.m. at Culpeper Baptist Church is an estimated 75- minute minute program in the church followed by a walk to the Culpeper Courthouse yard and a brief program at the side entrance to the old jail pending permit. The tentative program at this location will be the reading of a resolution, a song and a closing prayer. The event will share the stories of these men and highlight the need to build a coalition that will create mechanisms for the awareness and prevention of such acts of violence, hatred and oppression in the future. Speakers will address plans for several activities as well as present a resolution of apology to the victims, their descendants and the community. During the program at in the church, guests will learn of the circumstances of the deaths of each of these men though the focus will be on Allie Thompson whose murder occurred three days before Thanksgiving 100 years ago. In 1918 Charles Allie Thompson, born in January 1900, had registered for the Army and World War I and was living with his parents on their small farm in the northern portion of Culpeper County. He was employed by a local farmer to assist with the fall harvest of corn. On the fateful day in late November, he was arrested while cutting corn about a mile and a half from his home and charged with assaulting a white woman. He was incarcerated in the local jail, the very same building that stands today facing West Davis St. Early on the following Monday morning about 1 a.m., he was kidnapped from the jail and taken to a spot about a mile beyond Catalpa and hanged. The perpetrators were never pursued and subsequently never prosecuted. “Charles Allie Thompson was denied his right to due process and protection under the law,” Nelson said.

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Music can be a powerful tool. Just ask Greg Harpine and Kim Lillard with Souls in Harmony, a 501c3 using music to help improve the quality of life for many seniors in the region. Harpine, owner of White Dove Studios, formed Souls in Harmony in 2015 after working with an older gentleman in the area and being led to start the nonprofit with his prompting. The gentleman was taking guitar lessons and thanked Harpine for helping him learn a new skill that he will put to good use. A retired financial advisor, the student helped Harpine set up the 501c3 and it was improved with in three weeks. “He said, ‘no Goombah, look you work with special needs children and adults,’” Harpine said. “‘You take what you’re doing on your own dime to help these people and you become a non profit.’” Harpine has since worked with seniors, children and adults with disabilities and started an instrument bank to help families who have a child who want to play music but can’t afford it. His work with seniors is what gives him most joy, as he and Kim Lillard visit senior centers and retirement homes helping those suffering with Alzheimer’s and dementia to connect with lost memories through music.

“Basically you’re taking a senior with Alzheimer’s and dementia and you’re making a personal playlist that are songs that are specifically and emotionally connected for them,” Harpine said. “Maybe it’s a wedding song or a favorite TV show theme song. You’re connecting with memories from their 20s and 30s because statistics show that music memories made from that age range are never affected by the disease.” Harpine said the progress is amazing and gratifying. He has dozens of stories, each more impressive than the last to show the power that music can have. In Warrenton, he met a man in his 80s who staff said they were lucky to get two or three words out of him all day. He would be led to a spot in the morning and then sit all day. However, Harpine and Lillard noticed a difference when they would come and play music. “When we’d go play music, we’d notice he’d always be drumming and in perfect timing,” Harpine said. “Turns out he was a Motown drummer for years of his life. I put together an iPod of Stevie Wonder and the Temptations and brought it to him. We put the headphones on him and he sang ‘My Girl,’ and ‘Ain’t Too Proud to Beg.’” Soon, he was walking on his own - even walking the entire length of the unit to ask for his iPod. “Not everybody responds exactly the same way, but I’ve yet - at least in the time we’ve been doing this - to see somebody that hasn’t responded in some way,” Harpine said. He recalls another woman who was ➤ See Music, Page 7

➤ Music, from Page 6 noncommunicative, who became responsive when listening to a playlist of big band music. He equated it to a clogged drain opening up after years, as pieces of conversation she had began to spill out of her mouth. Within weeks, she was asking them questions, a miraculous recovery. “Music is a language,” Harpine said. “It brings emotional responses from you and I or anybody else. Everybody has a favorite song. I can’t give you a scientific reason, I wish I understood it more.” Harpine said that they received a grant for the first 20 iPods and they have a drive for people to donate old iPods, iPads or iPhones. He said anything that can have a playlist placed on it can be used. “What we really need is community support,” Harpine said. “It’s going in once a week and meeting with the patient and listening to an iPod with them and facilitating the conversation.” He said the experience of going and listening to music and watching these transformations is faith-affirming. “It’s a great feeling,” Harpine said. “A gentleman in Warrenton who was kind of nonresponsive and we found out that he was a professional dancer and they used to dance on American Bandstand. We put together a whole iPod of bandstand stuff and

Local News within 30 minutes he looked at his wife and said do you remember dancing to this? “It gave them back that cognitive quality time that they lost so long ago. We’re thankful to be part of that process.” Dr. Tom Neviaser serves on the Souls in Harmony board. He said Harpine’s passion is what makes the program special. "While taking banjo lessons from Greg Harpine, he spoke to me of his vision to use music as a way to improve the lives of the those unfortunate individuals with physical and mental disabilities,” Neviaser said. “The initial results have been nothing but mind boggling as he has watched people awake from their shells of silence as they listen to his music and songs from their pasts on the donated iPods." They also work at Visions, in Culpeper, helping those with disabilities connect through music. On a Thursday, Harpine sat in one room playing hymns with one group while Lillard worked in another room teaching guitar. “Music crosses all boundaries,” Harpine said. “Music affects us. On some level it’s directly connected to our brains.” That connection is what Harpine hopes leads more volunteers to their door.

Community project on youth needs searching for adult input by August 26 Contributed report A group of 18 community and youth leaders have been working together for the past four months on a project to learn about the recreational needs and interests of Culpeper youth. The project is led by Maryfrances Porter, PhD, of Partnerships for Strategic Impact and funded by Culpeper Wellness Foundation. “There's plenty of research that shows when youth are involved in positive activities that they choose, they do better in school and life in general. Their futures are brighter” said Dr. Porter. “The teens on the Advisory Group have really kept us focused on what’s important to youth and how to get their voices heard. The whole group has been actively involved and is excited to hear directly from teens about what they want to do in their spare time”. As Dr. Porter mentioned, research consistently shows that youth who are engaged in their communities are less likely to use drugs and alcohol, less likely to drop out of high school, and less likely to be involved in criminal behavior. Safe environments, positive activities and the presence of caring adults are key factors in building resilience (the ability to “bounce back” when things go wrong), improving self-esteem and preventing substance abuse. There is a tendency for kids to take part in risky behaviors if they are not engaged

in positive, structured activities. Over the next several weeks, the advisory group will conduct youth and adult surveys in hopes of getting a clear picture of the needs and interests of local middle and high school youth, including those who are not typically involved in after-school activities and sports. Culpeper Youth is taking charge of surveying middle and high school youth during lunch the second week of school, and hopes to collect at least 1,500 surveys. Culpeper Youth is a youth leadership program established by the County Board of Supervisors in 2017. The short survey will also be available online. Participating students will have a chance to win 1 of 25 prizes including gift cards to Target, Amazon and Chick-fil-A or an Apple iPad! The advisory group also want to know what local parents, youth service providers, and other adults think are the biggest challenges facing youth today, as well as what recreational activities they would like to see available. The hope is to collect as least 500 adult surveys by August 26. If you are interested in sharing your thoughts, please take the survey by going to http://tiny.cc/YouthNeeds. The project results will be available to the public in mid-September through Culpeper Wellness Foundation. For more information contact Maryfrances Porter at porter@psi-consult.com or 434-825-4841.

HOME & GARDEN The loss of honey bees in the area BEE HAPPY

One of the reasons that I enjoy being a shopkeeper is the interaction and open dialogue that I have with other beekeepers, they come from all parts of the world and share the good and the bad. What I have noticed is that there has been a high percentage of loss of all our honey bees. I kept hearing it all through last winter and this spring. It seems that this has been a very difficult time for beekeepers not just in Virginia but across the United States. According to Keith Tignor, State Apiarist of the Virginia Department of Agriculture and Consumer

Felecia Chavez

Services (VDACS) the loss rate is the highest since the state began monitoring winter losses in 2000. He also stated that the losses of honeybee colonies over the 20172018 season were greater than expected and greater than the average of 30 percent per year for the last decade. What I find upsetting is that new beekeeper’s just starting out do everything they can to make sure their bees will thrive and if they die or swarm they become discouraged and do not want to start over, I’ve talked to quite a few new beekeepers that just do not want to invest more money. We have lost a number of hives over the years and it’s not because we didn’t do everything we could, it could have been the hive wasn’t as strong as we thought, or other

reasons that were beyond our control. It’s very disheartening losing a hive and can be hard. I cannot stress enough the need to educate more people to the plight of our pollinators. The use of pesticides, killing those dandelions (that the bees love by the way), the need to plant more pollinator friendly flowers, not just for our honey bees but all pollinators. There is nothing worse than to go out and check on your bees and find them gone, wax moths have taken over, or they have died due to environmental factors such as the weather, for example too hot, extreme cold, continual rain or flooding. A lot of times people will ask how they can get started to become beekeepers, I always tell them if

they are serious to take a class, there are a number of organizations that provide classes. Learn everything you can, talk with other beekeeper’s, there are so many good reasons to become a beekeeper and please don’t become discouraged! There is nothing more heavenly than the scent of honey when you open your beehive or nothing as exciting as seeing them work diligently bringing in pollen, doing their bee dance, or just watching them fly in and out of the beehives. You see, “BEES ARE THE SUNSHINE OF MY SOUL”! For the next two weeks the shop will be closed Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. Starting Aug. 19 until Sept. 5, please check our Facebook or website for dates and times.

Bug music: Cicadas WILD IDEAS

While butterflies look for mates quietly, using visual and chemical signals to find them, some insects send out loud calls, often in chorus. The most notable about these insect singers are cicadas and katydids. Together, they fill Virginia summer days and nights with pulsating, percussive songs that, to me, is comforting white noise. When the bugs are singing, all seems well. With all the wet weather this year, I didn’t hear either cicadas or katydids in full chorus until a couple of weeks ago. Now their sounds and the those of other singing bugs come during dry spells and go with the inevitable return of rain. Flying insects, such as cicadas and katydids, are hindered from flying to potential mates when it rains, but perhaps a more-serious effect rain has on these singers is the noise it causes. Why waste

Pam Owen

energy serenading prospective mates if they can’t hear you over the rainstorms? Katydids mostly sing at night, but cicadas are daytime crooners. With no periodical cicada broods scheduled to emerge for a few years, the annual cicadas are the ones now dominating insect sounds during the day. Their sounds can vary in volume, pitch and pattern. Both genders call, but it’s the males’ loud humming, produced through special membranous, sound-producing organs (tymbals) in their abdomens that aggregates cicadas into groups for breeding. Female cicadas have excellent hearing and can easily determine a male’s location and calling intensity. They respond by flicking their wings, which makes a clicking sound that draws the males to them. Having a chance to breed only every 13–17 years, periodical cicadas are so eager to mate that researchers have drawn them in by making clicking sounds at the right intervals. I borrowed the title of this column from David Rothberg’s fascinating 2013 book (and associated CD), “Bug Music,” on the sounds insects make

Reach Your Customers in the Next Issue—Call 540.812.2282

and how they relate to human music. He uses the word “bug” as a lot of us invertebrate lovers do — as an affectionate term for insects in general, not specifically insects in the True Bug (Heteroptera) suborder, which does include cicadas. Rothberg digs deep into the weeds, literally and figuratively, in exploring the science of insect sounds, as summarized in the subtitle of the book: “How insects gave us rhythm and noise.” While I am generally a lover of insect noise, I acknowledge that some of it can be grating. Take, for example, the loud song of the aptly named scissor-grinder cicada (Neotibicen pruinosus), which usually choruses in the copse next to my deck. And it’s hard to forget the volume as well as the spaceship-like tones of an emerging brood of periodical cicadas, which we last heard in our area the year Rothberg’s book came out. That was less a case of the individuals cicadas’ song as the sheer numbers singing together. Rothberg opines that musicality of the cicada “may be in the precision of its noise” and equates it to techno electronic music popular in today’s dance clubs. He describes how Granulator, software developed by a

German electronic musician to add texture to techno music, can also construct bug-like sounds. Starting with “microscopic, tiny instances of tone or noise,” Rothberg writes, the software helps to recombine them in “layers of complexity and irregularity” and loop the results to make sounds like those of insects — “literally produces a swarm of sound.” Inside Granulator, “we are all arthropods” (invertebrates), he adds, and “a tiny blip of our sounds can be made infinitely large.” This year, I’ve heard only one or two scissor-grinder cicadas in my copse, although plenty have been chorusing elsewhere in Rappahannock County. In their absence, I’ve been able to hear more clearly the subtler songs of other cicadas that chorus in the forests around my house. To identify the singers, I visited one of my favorite websites for insect sounds, “Songs of Insects” (songsofinsects. com), also available as a book with an accompanying CD of the songs. Both are the products of Lang Elliott and Wil Hershberger. For each species, the book also has range maps, photos and a sonogram of its song.

Parks and Rec programs offer variety of activities By Sara Knott For the Culpeper Times Culpeper County Parks and Recreation offers more for the community than just beautiful parks; they also offer dozens of programs for the community each season. “We strive to make our programs top notch. Our goal is to make our programs affordable to the public with quality instructors so participants are satisfied with their experience. Participating in our programs on a regular basis is a great way to stay active and be more involved in the community,” John Barrett, Culpeper County Parks and Recreation Director, said. At the start of each season, the program schedule is updated with new programs so there is always something new and exciting around the corner. “In the future we are looking to include more athletic programs for adults, indoor activities for the youth, and a variety of programs available for senior citizens,” Barrett said.

➤ Parks, from Page 10 offers programs geared towards athletics, art, health and wellness, and education. They also host yearly special events and trips to different cities across the east coast. No matter what your interests are, Parks and Recreation has a program for you. “I think Parks and Recreation programs are amazing because they allow you to be able to learn and try new activities at a low cost and little time commitment. It is such a positive, non-judgmental space that people can go to without having to have a certain set of skills or knowledge beforehand,” Kelly Rozwadowski said. Rozwadowski is one of the owners of K Art & Design, a graphic design firm based in Culpeper. Parks and Recreation and K Art & Design have partnered together to offer weekly art camps and weekend art workshops for children and adults of all ages and skill levels. They provide all of the art supplies, cleaning supplies, and work space necessary to remove all obstacles that hinder people from creating art at home. As an individual, Kelly teaches multiple fitness classes through Parks and Recreation as well. She is certified to teach Zumba, Hot Hula Fitness, Yoga, TRANSFORM,

and Strong by Zumba. Kelly began teaching at Powell Wellness Center a few years back and was shortly put in contact with the Facilities and Programs Supervisor, Tabitha Riley. Kelly got her start working with Parks and Recreation through instructing fitness classes. “I enjoy making people feel good and comfortable doing things that usually make them nervous,” Rozwadowski said. As an instructor Kelly loves seeing how the community comes together. In any of her classes you can find people of all ages and backgrounds coming together to create art or exercise together. Her students will say “it is cheaper than therapy”. “Without the support of Culpeper Parks and Recreation I would not be able to offer all of the classes that I do. They handle all of the logistics for me which allows me to focus on just teaching and being the best instructor I can be. They have great locations for classes and are always flexible,” Rozwadowski said. Registration for fall programs is now open. Registration can be conducted online, over the phone, or in person at the Parks and Recreation office. The Parks and Recreation office is located at 131 North Main Street.

➤ Wild, from Page 9 County Public Library.) In checking cicada songs on the website, I decided the main singer around my house this year is Linne’s cicada (N. linnei), another species in the Neotibicen genus. Its high-pitched, rapidly pulsating song starts softly but increases in volume, becoming, as Elliott and Hershberger describe it, “a steady pulsating rattle sounding like a saltshaker” before ending abruptly. In between the Linne’s chorusing, I can hear the evensubtler lyric cicada (N. lyricen), with its buzzy, rattling trill. Unlike other cicadas within this species’ range, its song does not pulsate. It starts softly, then increases in volume, which sometimes fluctuates, before finally ending. By their songs, I ruled out the four other annual species that range into my area, on the border of Virginia’s Piedmont and Blue Ridge regions: northern dusk-singing cicada (Megatibicen auletes), Robinson’s cicada (N. robinsoniana), Say’s cicada (Okanagana rimosa rimosa) and swamp cicada (N. tibicen tibicen). Last summer, I had recorded and photographed the swamp cicada in a wetland at Leopold’s Preserve, near Haymarket.

While sorting out cicada songs is relatively easy because of the small number of cicada species here, katydids present a much bigger challenge, as I’ll explore in my next column. Until then, consider Rothberg’s summation of his book’s theme, expressed in the prologue: “The stridulation of crickets, the tymbaling of cicadas, the tap-taptap-ing of treehoppers, the thrum of bees. As long as we don’t feel threatened by them, most people like these sounds. The rhythms of insects bind us to the landscape, the warm weft of early autumn, a smile at the seasons’ march. One small sense that ties us to the eternal, for like all animals sounds, they have been around for millions of years longer than anything human. And the most important thing about them is that they may be the very source of our interest in rhythm, the beat, the regular thrum. And noise. Yes noise. Our love of noise.” © 2018 Pam Owen Pam Owen is a writer, editor, photographer, and passionate nature conservationist living in Rappahannock County, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

around. No salesman in sight. I thought maybe the business was closed, but I could see people sitting at desks inside. What were they thinking? Here I am looking at cars, and they are inside – waiting. When the Yard Sale Queen started toward the showroom door, a young man came out, introduced himself and asked if he could help. It was so low key, I almost fainted. He explained that this dealership does business differently. He said he was salaried and not on commission. He also said the so-called “processing fee” was $195, unlike the almost $600 pure profit processing fees at other dealers. I drove the bright red Chevy Trax, and loved the handling and mileage rating. Long story short, the low key, no hard sell, deal was done. The Yard Sale Queen thinks the Trax is cute. Cute?

HISTORY French Royalty in Culpeper: Part three ZANN’S PLACE

Last week’s column left L.P., the mysterious Frenchman who may or may not have died in Culpeper, as yet untraceable and me, consumed with the exasperation of the unresolved. It was time to take a bit of my own advice, step back, absorb, breathe deeply and contemplate on available facts. To that end, today’s note to readers will advance the story of L.P.’s account of his questionable relationships in Culpeper. Apparently, much of L.P.’s misery is shrouded in the accusations of B.F. Showalter “of familiarity viz. criminal relationships with Mrs. M.S. Showalter, his wife.” L.P. categorically denies any wrong doing. He writes for two pages about

the lady, decrying his belief that she is badly abused by her husband and desperately in need of a friend and the support of her community. “I endeavored to always be kind and courteous to her and knowing that she was unhappy, I extended to her my sympathy. Her husband has not only wrecked this woman’s honor and life, but he in the most cruel and brutish manner abuses her and on three occasions to my knowledge, has he threatened her life, when she dared to demand her rights. Citizens I could not write a lie at this awful hour: what I write is the truth! Right here in your midst, a helpless woman, a mother, a Virginia Lady, is slowly, systematically, cruelly tortured to death by her monstrous husband and children. She is kept a prisoner under constant surveillance and threatened if she shows any signs of resistance.” “Citizens. Will you stand bye and see this woman thus abused? You are the sons

There was a side note to “notify the British Embassador {sic} Washington D.C.” Truth or fantasy, the letter exists. There are a few genealogical records for the Showalters indicating that they did indeed reside in Culpeper at the time of the letter. One astute reader found a lawsuit in the Culpeper court records charging Mr. and Mrs. Showalter with forging a will. It had no bearing on L.P.’s letter and thus is not detailed here. For now, I must put L.P. on the shelf with the hope that the rest of his story will be uncovered someday in the future. Until next week, be well.

of a noblest Commonwealth- out of? the depths of death I ask you to stand by her see her liberated from this scoundrel. ……. This woman deserves to be free, yet she is kept a prisoner in her own home, she is denied the privilege to go before a Court and to make legal application. She has no one to stand by her……I leave her in your care.” The entire letter has not been included here but excerpts enough to provide the gist. L.P. has a flair for the dramatic and I would do him an injustice to not include his final words. “Farewell Virginia! Thy fair blue sky I love! Show me this last favor. Bury me honorably as I think I deserve it. A Frenchman, my grandfather fought for your independence- a Frenchman, my father and his brother fought for the Confederacy- a Frenchman, I, have always loved you and now I pray for you…..

Culpeper Times • August 16-22, 2018

➤ Bunker, from Page 15 is an understatement. Friends have commented about her expressive face. And it is. She can curl her mouth to look inquisitive or twist it to look assertive. Yorkies, while loyal and loving, can be so hard headed. Housebreaking has been a challenge. It still is, but there has been some improvement. Teaching Riley the basics - like socializing with people and other dogs, or getting her to respond to commands like coming when called, instead of getting the defiant, “I hear you but I like it here and, I am not coming” look - posed a problem. I turned to the Culpeper County Department of Parks and Recreation by signing up for “puppy kindergarten” – a seven-week course held every Tuesday at Lenn Park conducted by Betty Ann Howell and her assistants Leta and Michael Ann. It’s money well spent. There were seven of us in the class – three were Yorkies – and three large dogs, plus a Boxer. Two dropped out for various reasons. Being retired, I accepted the responsibility for taking Riley to class and attempting to train her. The Yard Sale Queen still works so that I can enjoy the lifestyle to which I have become accustomed. The hour long class is fun. The

dogs get to socialize with other puppies and meet strangers. Betty Ann follows a script and checks off boxes for those dogs that perform given exercises. Hurdling a low pole, walking through a tunnel, pacing beside small traffic cones and jumping through a hula hoop are just some of the exercises. Obviously, getting the dogs to walk on a leash, come when called and sitting are major accomplishments. Riley has proved quite unafraid of obstacles, people and other dogs. She walks on a leash fairly well and comes when called – most of the time. Sitting and laying down on command has eluded her. I tried getting her to watch the Boxer named Walter who sits immediately or lays down on command. He is only four months old. Riley is either not paying attention or is unimpressed. I tried explaining to her that she won’t pass the course if she doesn’t sit or lay down. She gives me that almost teenager-look of “so?” I told you she has an expressive face. We are working on it. The instructors are wonderful and very patient. We wanted a tiny Yorkie, with a great personality, and a love bug. As an old Toyota commercial stated, “You asked for it You got it ...” This is our life with and of Riley.

EVHS students recognized at national FCCLA conference Contributed report Three Eastern View High School students received national recognition at the Family, Career and Community Leaders of America National Leadership Conference in Atlanta this summer. Recent graduates LeeKwai Scott and Kayla Sain received a gold medal and fourth place in the Life Event Planning Occupational, one of the STAR Events at the national conference in June. “LeeKwai and Kayla created a presentation to share details of their plans for the Little Cyclones Preschool Prom,” said Eastern View teacher Laura Butcher, who oversees the program. “They received a gold medal and first place at the Virginia FCCLA State Conference. Only those receiving first or second place in their STAR Event category are eligible to move on to the national conference.” Abby Stern, a junior, was introduced as the Virginia FCCLA Vice President of Programs. Stern was elected in April at the

Virginia FCCLA State Leadership and Recognition Conference. “State officers are elected by Virginia FCCLA members based on the criteria of an application, knowledge test, and speech,” Butcher said. “During a state officer’s year of representing Virginia FCCLA, they will build leadership skills through participation in workshops at the national conference, promote the organization, visit schools to encourage membership, meet with businesses to develop foundation partnerships, plan the state conference, and end the year leading the Virginia State Leadership and Recognition Conference.” It is the second year in a row an EVHS student has held a state leadership position. Last year, recent graduate Katelyn Myers served at the Virginia FCCLA Vice President of Public Relations. Eastern View Cyclones joined more than 7,500 FCCLA student leaders, members, and advisers at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.

Getting to know vernaccia EPICUREAN MUSE

Renaissance art, Florence, Michelangelo’s “David”, olive groves, Chianti – by now you’ve probably guessed it, we’re talking central Italy’s beautiful Tuscany and all that it has to offer. If I included vernaccia, you may not guess white wine grape, but it’s worth getting to know. Sure there are plenty of recognizable red grapes, sangiovese being the most famous in Tuscany, along with canaiolo, colorino, cabernet sauvignon and merlot. However they do produce some white wines, including chardonnay, sauvignon blanc, malvasia Bianca lunga, trebbiano and yes, vernaccia! Vernaccia di San Gimignano is a stand out. The name alone can be a little intimidating, but it's really not that complicated. Vernaccia di San Gimignano is both the name of the wine and the grape variety used in making the wine. There are vernaccia grapes planted all over Italy, but vernaccia from the walled medieval hill town of San Gimignano in the province of Siena, Tuscany is considered to be the best and among the oldest. Records indicate the grape was mentioned as far back as 1276. Vernaccia is derived from the latin Vernaculum, translating to "local" or "native", which is why many towns throughout Italy had their own vernaccia or local wine. Vernaccia di San Gimignano was one of first white grapes to receive an official classification when Italy first created the DOC quality classification system in 1966. It has since been elevated to the highest, DOCG, status. San Gimignano is located less than an hour from Florence, and while it is one of the most appreciated white wines, vernaccia often takes a back seat to the famed red wines of Chianti in terms of both quality and popularity.

surge in renewed interest from producers and consumers, all of this new attention happened right around the same time the region was awarded DOCG status. It has been said that only the very top producers create vernaccia that kisses, licks, bites and stings! Now that’s what I call complex and pretty sexy too. While all bottles may not possess all of these characteristics, there are plenty of layers to enjoy. The signature golden color is an indicator of its richer, full-bodied style. The aromas are floral, the flavors crisp and clean with notes of citrus and ripe apple. It's dry with a good dose of acidity and classic minerality resulting from the sandstone soils in San Gimignano. The finish is snappy and long with a nutty note, reminiscent of hazelnuts. It really does cover the best of both worlds in terms of weight and texture, while remaining bright and refreshing. Pair it with fresh lobster rolls, an herb roasted chicken or some antipasti and you’re all set for a good time in a bottle! Cheers! Kim Kelly is the owner of Vinosity in Downtown Culpeper.
