COMMUNITY NEWS

Suicide prevention conference slated for Sept. 10 at Germanna The proposed utility-scale solar facility in the Racoon Ford area of Culpeper county was withdrawn Monday. In a letter to Culpeper County Planning Director Sam McLearen, M. Ann Neil Cosby - representing Cricket Solar - announced their intention to withdraw their application for a utilityscale solar facility along Route 647 (Algonquin Trail), Route 617 (Racoon Ford Road) and Route 661 (Blackjack Road). The proposed solar farm was to use up to approximately 885.6 acrs of the total 1589.8 acres for solar arrays and other ancillary equipment. “On behalf of Cricket Solar, LLC (“Cricket”), I am writing to formally withdraw Cricket's Conditional Use Permit (“CUP”) Application (Case No. U-2214-18-1] filed on December 21, 2108, related to its proposed utility scale solar facility (the “Project”),” Cosby wrote. “Cricket has been working diligently over the last few months redesigning the Project boundaries to protect wetlands, improve efficiencies, and respond to community concerns related to the Project. These efforts remain ongoing. However, at this time, the company believes a withdrawal of the Project is necessary in order to ensure that any Project proposed represents Cricket's best effort to address community concerns. We sincerely appreciate the County's efforts and time to this date on our application.” McLearen was out of the office Tuesday and unavailable for comment. Susan Ralston, with Citizens for Responsible Solar, expressed joy that Cricket Solar has withdrawn its application. “This project was never in line with the rural and agricultural character of the area,” she said in an email Tuesday. “While we see this as a victory, the war against industrial-scale solar isn’t over. We will continue to press County officials to adopt a solar ordinance that balances the demand for renewable energy while protecting the environment and landowners. Until then, the County is still under threat from industrial-scale solar developers.” On Sunday, Citizens for Responsible Solar held a meeting at historic Greenville where Ron Maxwell, director of “Gettysburg” and “Gods and Generals” spoke out against the proposed solar farm. Maxwell called the idea “foolishness” and under the guise of improvement and progress. “I stand in opposition to this solar farm,” he said Sunday evening, in front of a crowd of more than 50. “I acknowledge that we're in a global energy crisis. We know we’re looking for different ways to get off of fossil fuels. In terms of the big picture, solar farms are never the answer - let alone to put them on historic property, revered land. It doesn’t get any more hallowed than this.” For more about the efforts that stopped Cricket, read the Culpeper

Culpeper Medical Center awarded ‘Total Hip and Knee Replacement Certification’ Culpeper Medical Center, a Novant Health UVA Health System facility, is proud to announce it has earned The Joint Commission’s Gold Seal of Approval® for Total Hip and Knee Replacement Certification by demonstrating continuous compliance with its performance standards. The Gold Seal is a symbol of quality that reflects a health care organization’s commitment to providing safe and quality patient care.

The certification, presented in collaboration with the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, involves every step of the joint replacement process including the pre-surgical orthopedic consultation, the intraoperative, hospitalization or ambulatory surgical center admission, rehabilitation activities, and follow-up visits with the orthopedic surgeon. Culpeper Medical Center underwent a rigorous, unannounced onsite review. During the visit, a team of Joint Commission reviewers evaluated compliance with related certification standards including program management, supporting self-management, and delivering and facilitating clinical care. Joint Commission standards are developed in consultation with health care experts and providers, measurement experts and patients. The reviewers conducted onsite

interviews and observations. “Total Hip and Knee Replacement Certification recognizes health care organizations committed to fostering continuous quality improvement in patient safety and quality of care,” says Mark Pelletier, RN, MS, chief operating officer, Accreditation and Certification Operations, and chief nursing executive, The Joint Commission. “We commend Culpeper Medical Center for using certification to reduce variation in its clinical processes and to strengthen its program structure and management framework for orthopedic patients.” “We’re incredibly pleased to have received this certification from The Joint Commission,” says Jeff Hetmanski, president of Novant Health UVA Health System Culpeper Medical Center. “It’s always our goal to provide Culpeper, and surrounding communities with top tier care, from our general practices to our most specialized, to ensure our patients are always in the best hands possible.” For more information about the hip and knee replacement services available at Culpeper Medical Center, and the orthopedics and sports medicine program, visit novanthealthuva.org/ services/orthopedics--sports-medicine/ hip--knee.aspx.

She says it depends on what organization and what fundraiser she’s helping, but she said she can still do 25-30 pies a day when needed. Her pies are famous - serving as desserts at the Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department chicken dinners, and being offered as desserts at The Country Cafe and at times for the Culpeper Senior Center. She has also made pies for the Reva Volunteer Fire Department, Castleton Fire Department and for the Culpeper Police Department and Culpeper County Sheriff’s Office. ➤ See Foster, Page 5

➤ Foster, from Page 4 “This is something I’ve always done, it’s something I’ve enjoyed doing, so I didn’t see it as anything unusual,” Foster said. Sherry Thornhill was one of the people who nominated her, recalling her kindness going back decades when her children were younger. “I used to go to Gayhearts and I’d take my boys - you know you’re young, you’re on a limited income,” Thornhill said in a nomination video presented by the Culpeper Media Network. “I would tell the boys ‘we’re going to get this and we’re going to split it.’ They’d be OK with it, and we’d go in and Miss Effie would say ‘OK boys, don’t look at mom, look at me and tell me what you’d like to eat.’ She would just fix them something to eat and at the end she’d give them a grilled donut with ice cream on top. They just thought that was awesome. I’d get a ticket for $2 and I’d say ‘Effie, this isn’t right.’ And she would say it was. They would pick up the rest of it. She was just so amazing. She has helped so many people out.” Joan Byrnes is a longtime friend and marvels at her energy and spunk at 87 years old. “She bakes pies for anybody and everybody, she’s just so giving,” Byrnes said. “She’s just so empathetic. Other than her family, I think

that’s what she lives for is helping others.” Foster is not one to brag about her accomplishments. While many may have had her pies - few probably realize that it comes from her humble kitchen. Her stepson Don Foster said she relishes the opportunity to help others. “It’s probably what keeps her going, helping others,” he said. That, and the love for her family. She has 12 children, 26 grandchildren, 50 great grandchildren and one great-great grandchild. “She is the heartbeat of the family,” Don’s wife Donna Foster said. Culpeper Town Police officer Brittany Jenkins introduced Effie to a crowd that filled the community room at the police department. “Tonight we are here to honor a member of our community who is extraordinary and doesn't hear it as much or isn’t in the limelight but is well deserving,” Jenkins said. The Amazing Citizen Award, the brainchild of CPD Chief Chris Jenkins, was made to honor those who do amazing things in the community but are not at the forefront. “Effie you have spent a lifetime giving and taking care of other folks,” Chief Jenkins said. “We could all learn a big lesson from Effie Foster. Tonight we just say thank you for all you’ve done.”

➤ Blue Devils dedicate season to coach diagnosed with cancer By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Culpeper County High School’s football team had to learn about overcoming adversity early this season. Prior to the start of the season, firstyear head coach James Ford was diagnosed with cancer. He’s in the hospital undergoing treatment, leaving assistant coach Brandon Utz in charge. While it could have been devastating for many teams, the Blue Devils are rallying and dedicating this season to their coach. “He’s in good spirits, he’s talking to us everyday,” Utz said. “He’s given us freedom, he’s trusted his coaching staff. He lets us coach. He’s got bigger stuff on his plate than football.” “I think the initial shock of it was tough on them, but with that they’ve really turned it into some motivation,” Utz said. “There’s a comfort here knowing the rest of the staff has been here with them.” Last year the Blue Devils finished 10-5, 5-1 in the region.That’s all in the past now as they move up to 4A in the Northwest Division. “We’ve really done our job as a staff, it’s a mental grind,” Utz said. “We do our best to not focus on the opponent, we focus on putting a clean product on the field.” The Blue Devils will host crosstown rivals Eastern View in the first week. It will be the only time the two teams match up - unless they would end up against each other in the state championship. Offensively, the Blue Devils will be led by senior quarterback Josh Plaster, who Utz says understands the offense better than anyone. He’ll be joined in the backfield by Riley Harrison, Austin Lentz and Jacob

Douglas. “We have a lot of good backs that can come in and share the load, in my opinion that’s our strength,” Utz said. On the offensive line, the Blue Devils will be led by senior right guard Kameron Buckhanan. Also on the line is Nathan Bryan, Stewart Jones, Bracken Hibbert and Jacob McCracken. Buckhanan is another senior leader on the team - who says that the Blue Devils are on the right path mentality despite their coach going down. “It’s life, life hits and adversity comes and you have to take it with a grain of salt and play for him,” Buckanan said. Senior Armani Hoffman will be one of the main weapons for Plaster on the outside, joined at wide receiver by DeJour McCray. Defensively, the Blue Devils will employ a 3-4 but at times look like a 5-2. Harrison will lead the team at linebacker while Hoffman will anchor the defensive secondary. “Our defense is about communication,” Hoffman said. “When we communicate on defense, we shut things up.” Up front, the Blue Devils will feature Buckhanan, Tyler Jeffries at nose tackle and Karl Quiambao. Harrison and Austin Lentz will serve as inside linebackers with Joe Holland and Quentin Butler outside. Utz praised Harrison for his preparation. “He’s one of my film guys, he’s always on the film and I think that’s why he looks so fast on the field,” Utz said. In the secondary, Hoffman will be joined bo Cam Lacy, Javier Forloines and Osmond Reindorf-Malm. Utz singled out Reindorf-Malm for his work ethic and dedication. “He forced himself into that role,” Utz said. “I have a lot of faith in him.” Headed into the first game of the season, Hoffman said the Blue Devils have a simple goal. “Everything we do on from here on out is for coach,” Hoffman said.

Eastern View High School has a senior heavy team this season.

Focusing on improvement ➤ Eastern View High School Cyclones look to improve on impressive 2018 football campaign By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer No one has higher expectations of Eastern View High School than the Cyclones themselves. Coming off a 13-1 season in which the Cyclones ended up ranked 13th in the state in 4A football, EVHS returns a senior heavy team that has lofty goals - but it all starts with the hard work they put in during the offseason. “We have high expectations of ourselves and I know it sounds like coach talk, we haven’t talked about winning or losing any games yet, we’ve talked about getting better each day and being the best Cyclone team we can be,” EVHS head coach Greg Hatfield said. “If we focus on what we can do better, we have a chance to be the best we can be.” Senior Till Butler will start at quarterback for the Cyclones. “He knows our offense so well, he’s a really good leader,” Hatfield said. “He’s a tough kid. He started at linebacker for us last year.” He’ll be throwing a group of speedy receivers in returners Alex Spangler, Blake Leake and Chance Graves. Elijiah Harris and Josh Logan will also see time at the position in Eastern View’s spread offense. “We might find a wrinkle to add here and again but we try to be very simple in our concepts,” Hatfield said. At running back, Raq Lawson, Ronta Robinson and Drew Shurina will all see time at the position. Hatfield praised his team’s work ethic and that bleeds over to the running back position.

“We try to have a very blue collar approach,” Hatfield said. “We always feel like the sum of our parts is greater than all of our parts.” The Cyclones will run behind a talented offensive line - that returns four starters from last year - led by Jason Southern, David Jorgenson, Jordan Dodson, Ricky Robinson and freshman Brayden Walker may also see time. “Games are won and lost in the trenches,” Hatfield said. “When we got here we couldn’t buy a kid over 180 pounds. We’ve been pretty blessed here lately to have some big kids that have worked really hard in the weight room.” Defensively, Shurina will be calling the plays - continuing a long line of Shurina boys who have anchored the Eastern View defense. His brothers Logan and Brett were linebackers for Hatfield and Drew carries the same mentality. “Drew is so blue collar, such a hard worker, leads by example,” Hatfield said. “He’s not going to be outworked.” Shurina said that being the third member of his family - all of which are the top tacklers in EVHS history - to serve as a Cyclone linebacker means the world to him. “There’s always been a little pressure on me, but my brothers are here to coach me up and push me through it,” Shurina said. “It’s a lot of hard work ethic.” The defensive line features CJ Taylor who moved from linebacker to defensive end in the 4-3 lineup - Zahir King, Jordan Dodson, Elijiah Hodgkins, Jason Southern and Jordan Breckley. The Cyclones might have their deepest position in the defensive second featuring returners Blake Leake, Chance Graves and Alex Spangler. Elijiah Harris, Josh Logan and Marshall Adu will also see time. “We have guys who have bought into working hard, getting in shape and playing team football,” Hatfield said. The Cyclones kick off the season today at CCHS at 7 p.m.

‘This has touched everyone’ How the opioid crisis impacts families, public services across the region By Randy Rieland FOR PIEDMONT JOURNALISM FOUNDATION AND FOOTHILLS FORUM

others sometimes ask Culpeper Police Chief Chris Jenkins to arrest their children. It’s the only way to save them, they tell him, because in jail, their sons or daughters can get the treatment they need. But, as Jenkins points out, the notion that inmates have access to life-changing drug rehab programs is “nowhere near the truth.” At Fauquier Hospital, doctors and nurses have become painfully familiar with the challenges of caring for addicted mothers and their babies. In 2015, in fact, the rate of infants who went through drug withdrawal in Fauquier County was four times the state’s rate. “We’ve had as many as five addicted babies in here at one time,” said Jeremy Challiet, a pediatrician at Fauquier Hospital. “The nurses need a break when that’s all they’re dealing with, day in, day out. It certainly increased stress.” Earlier this year, officials in Rappahannock County scrambled to launch a recruitment campaign for foster families because only one was available in the entire county. As a result, children needing foster care were being sent out of the county to more urban areas as far away as Richmond and Roanoke. Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court Judge Melissa Cupp said about half of Rappahannock’s foster placements last year “had an addiction component.” About 91 percent of the people at the Prince William County Adult Detention Center are either in jail on a drug charge or have admitted to having a substance abuse problem, according to Maj. Amanda Lambert, director of support services. “We’re seeing more first-time offenders than ever before.” These are just a few of the many ripple effects of the opioid crisis, an epidemic that has not just claimed more than 700 lives in Virginia’s Piedmont region during the past decade, but has also shattered families, taxed law enforcement and social services, stressed first responders and health care professionals and shredded the fabric of communities that never saw it coming. And, for the generation of children being born to addicts, or into families with opioid abuse, some ramifications may not be known for

years. “Most people don’t realize the impact it has had on our community,” said Culpeper’s Chief Jenkins. “But this has touched almost everyone.” Jenkins knows how deeply. In 2014, his 26-year-old son, Jordan, who had become addicted to opioid medications, committed suicide. BABIES IN WITHDRAWAL

The high-pitched cry of a baby going through opiate withdrawal is a disheartening sound. With their nervous systems agitated and their brain receptors more sensitized, such infants often struggle to eat and fall asleep. They tend to have lower birth weights. They can sweat a lot and become dehydrated. They’re jittery and highly irritable, and bright lights or the sound of a TV or even multiple people talking can upset them. Sometimes they scratch their faces. “There’s more brain activity during withdrawal,” said Susan Werner, a pediatrician at Culpeper Medical Center. “Like the brain healing after a concussion.” Known as neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS), it’s a particularly disturbing side effect of the opioid epidemic. Fifteen years ago, roughly one out of 1,000 babies was born with NAS, according to the National Institutes of Health. Now, in many rural communities, it’s closer to one in 100. Data compiled by the Virginia Department of Health shows that births to addicted mothers peaked in Fauquier County in 2015, when they were recorded at close to 25 NAS babies per 1,000 newborns. The number has dropped since then, but in 2017, it was still twice as high as the state’s. In Culpeper County, NAS births occurred at triple the state’s rate in 2016, although they did decrease slightly last year. While the NAS rate in Prince William County has stayed below the state’s, it was still three times higher in 2016 than it had been five years earlier. THE COST OF ADDICTED INFANTS

Because the babies often need to be medicated during their withdrawal — usually with methadone or buprenorphine — their hospital stays can last for weeks instead of days. Sometimes, they’re there for as long as a month. Another complication is that pregnant women using addictive drugs are less likely to get prenatal care.

A deadly decade From 2008 through the end of last year, 859 people in Virginia’s Piedmont region, including Prince William County, died from drug overdoses. In 4 out of 5 of those deaths, opiates were responsible

83% 100

Beginning in 2016, the number of opioid deaths jumped dramatically—more than 40 percent. A big factor, according to law enforcement officials, is the spreading use of drugs laced with fentanyl, a synthetic narcotic that’s 80 to 100 times stronger than morphine. From 2016 through 2018, almost 78 percent of the opioid deaths in Fauquier County involved fentanyl. The rate of deaths was only slightly lower in Culpeper and Prince William counties—about 67 percent.

FOR THE FULL STORY, including a comprehensive list of where to get addiction help, go to

It could be because they’re afraid their baby will be taken away from them or they simply fear how harshly they’ll be judged by a doctor. But the result can be more health problems for the newborn. All of which drives up costs. The expense of caring for a NAS baby has been estimated as three to four times as much as for an infant born without the condition. Usually, NAS treatments are covered by Medicaid, but they’ve increasingly become a drain on state Medicaid programs. A study published in the journal Pediatrics last year estimated that NAS care added $2 billion to Medicaid costs in the United States between 2004 and 2014. So there’s a sharpened focus on determining what kind of care works best in healing NAS newborns, according to Shannon Pursell, maternal and infant health coordinator for the Virginia Department of Health. “We’re learning that babies who used to just be given pharmacological treatment if they had mild to moderate addiction symptoms are actually doing better with ‘kangaroo care,’” she said. “Putting the baby skin-to-skin with mom. Breast feeding. More mother-baby bonding.” STRESS AT HOME

What happens after the mother and baby go home can be a bigger challenge. There’s the risk that they’re returning to a stressful environment, a situation that can quickly spin the mother back into the cycle of drug use. That could lead to the child being neglected or even abused. Hospital staffs now try to better prepare the women for what can be a daunting transition to motherhood, often one with financial and emotional struggles. They’re working more closely with child protective services to ensure that the mothers are able to take on both their own recoveries and their babies’ care. Social service agencies do more of the follow-up work of ensuring that other family members are doing their part to keep the home safe and stable. “If it’s a case where the mother is barely hanging on in the methadone clinic and the dad is still using drugs, or the mother is a single parent, you’re going to keep those babies longer until you’re really sure that everything that needs to be done for the baby can be done,” said Werner. “This population in general can be a trying one to deal with,” said Cheryl Poelma, director of women services at Fauquier Hospital. “But some families are really in a good place. They’re getting help, they’re in programs, and we’re confident that by the time the baby goes home that there’s a good plan in effect. “Another positive we’re seeing is

moms being more honest with us from the beginning,” she added. “We need them to tell us what’s really happening with them. What are they using? What’s their pattern? When they’re forthright, we can get help quicker and more lasting results. And, as health professionals, I also think we’ve really grown in terms of not being judgmental.” RISK FACTORS

Many pediatricians think that NAS babies may face more potential harm after opiate withdrawal than during it. To date, not enough research has been done to establish a clear physiological connection between NAS at birth and developmental problems later. “In my experience,” said Dennis Rustom, a physician at Piedmont Pediatrics in Warrenton, “most of the longer-term effects are social and psychological, rather than physical.”

One big risk factor is the mental health of the mother, for whom drug use may have started as a form of selfmedication. Or, as Rustom put it: “The impact on the baby may be wrapped up in why the mother became opioidaddicted in the first place.” Another is the toll addiction takes on a family’s finances, sometimes in less obvious ways. “Parents who are addicted to opiates are often not able to pay child support,” said Judge Cupp. “Whether it’s because they can’t work or function, or because they’re trying to get sober, and when they’re in treatment, at least at the beginning, they may not be able to work. We’ve also had cases where the person responsible for child support died.” Then there are the destructive ripples it can stir up in families. “One thing that’s really challenging is how deep this goes in affecting families — grandparents, other children, aunts and uncles. It’s a far-reaching thing that’s not easily solved,” said Poelma. “It’s not like we can say, ‘Take this medication and you’ll be fine.’ It’s something they’ll be dealing with the rest of their lives. You have little babies who start their lives in withdrawal, and then they’re going to grow up in a family that needs help. The hard part is seeing the devastation it brings to families, and knowing how hard it is for someone to pull themselves out of it.” Sometimes they don’t. It’s not unusual for the parents, overwhelmed by their new responsibilities, to backslide into their old habits as users. Ultimately, a parent may realize he or she needs more intensive treatment in a residential facility. Either way, someone else ends up caring for the baby. More often than not, it’s family members. Often, the grandparents or an aunt and uncle rush in to take on the child-rearing. Other times, child protection services reach out to relatives, in line with the priority of keeping families together. Moving a child isn’t always the direct result of substance abuse, but the opioid epidemic has also had an impact there. While the number of cases handled by child protection agencies hasn’t changed dramatically, their nature has, according to Marisa Sori, prevention supervisor in the Culpeper Department of Human Services. “In the past, we focused more on truancy or food issues,” she said. “Now we’re seeing more abuse, including more sexual abuse and more drug abuse. That’s the one that’s increased the most. You’re seeing more cases where parents are putting their children as risk. We’re swapping truant kids for these more intense situations.” Martha “Mimi” deNicholas, program manager of Family and Child Services

.com/opioids

in Fauquier County, has witnessed the same trend. “The cases are certainly more complex now,” she said. “You’re dealing with mental health and how it’s related to so many issues. Making a decision to return a child to a family can be very complex.” A SOCIAL SAFETY NET

When keeping a child within a family isn’t an option — such as when the home situation isn’t considered safe — social services turn to foster care. Foster families receive between $500 and $700 a month to help cover the cost of care. They also have access to social workers and counselors. By contrast, those who provide what’s known as informal kinship care — usually the grandparents — often plunge back into parenting with no financial support and only a vague notion of what they’ve taken on. Yet, to a large degree, they’ve become the social safety net of the opioid epidemic. Without them, child welfare services around the state would likely be overwhelmed. But the impact on their own lives is often profound. “Most go to grandparents, although in some cases, a baby ends up with great-grandparents,” said Lisa Peacock, director of Culpeper Human Services. “Parenting has changed so much since they were parents. There’s all the access to the Internet. What happens at school has changed. “Think about it,” she added. “You’re living on a fixed income, just getting your Social Security check. And now you’re raising your grandchild or great-grandchild. And you have your own health issues, and you have to worry about their future if something happens to you.”

Coming soon  The harsh reality is that most addicts relapse. Multiple times. We’ll look at why recovery is so hard and how local communities are struggling to meet diverse treatment needs.  How the role of police in dealing with the opioid epidemic is shifting from making arrests to educating the public.  For all the raised awareness about opioid addiction, its stigma persists and plays out in many ways. Also, how other communities are dealing with the challenges of the opioid crisis.

➤ Narmada, from Page 10 wine and at the top left of the ‘L’ an intricate wine glass with Narmada spelled out on the stem. Kiernan, who has done decorative painting since 2001, has been a club member at Narmada and has known the Patil family for years. So, when he got the call to paint the iconic sculpture, he knew exactly what he was going to do. “It’s a lot of fun,” Kiernan said. “I really wanted to design and paint it in how I envision Narmada Winery. It’s very specific to Sudha. That was the really fun part, making it so you wouldn’t see this anywhere else.” A crowd of more than 50 people from Culpeper, Fauquier and Rappahannock counties came out in a

light drizzle to watch the unveiling and then pose for pictures in front of the sign. “It’s really neat to see everyone’s expression,” Kiernan said. “The impact you have on people is always worth it.” The Virginia Tourism Corporation is celebrating 50 years of the slogan “Virginia is for Lovers” this year.. This is the first permanent Love sign in Rappahannock County, but this is the third time Rappahannock has hosted the iconic sign - as a traveling sign stayed temporarily at the visitor’s center and again last year for a few days during Innstock. “Virginia is for Lovers and Narmada is for lovers,” Fauquier Chamber President/CEO Joe Morgan said.

FILM • HIGH SCHOOL (Zipporah Films, 1968)

The Museum of Culpeper History unveils two new exhibits Aug. 31. Filmmaker Fred Wiseman employed the techniques of a burgeoning documentary style known as direct cinema to capture reality truthfully and without narration. Wiseman roamed freely through Philadelphia's Northeast High School to document students continually clashing with administrators who confuse learning with discipline. Richard Schickel, writing in "Life" magazine, called this a "wicked, brilliant documentary about life in a lower-middle-class secondary school." This is one of Wiseman's shortest documentaries, yet the impact is as memorable as his longer films. The film was added to The National Film Registry in 1991. Wiseman's film "Hospital," made two years later, is also on the Registry. 35mm film print produced by the Library of Congress Film Preservation Lab in

2015, 75 min.

AUG. 30 FILM • DENNY LAINE LIVE Recent Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee Denny Laine will bring his solo show to the Packard Campus Theater.

As the co-founder of the British Invasion group The Moody Blues, Laine first hit the charts with the 1964 hit song “Go Now!” Next followed a stint fronting his own Electric String Band and then playing in the supergroup Ginger Baker’s Air Force. In 1971, when ex-Beatle Paul McCartney was looking to start a new band, his first call was to Laine, who along with Paul and Linda McCartney, formed the nucleus of Wings. Laine’s show will be in the “Songs & Stories” format that he has successfully toured with for the last few years. Tickets for the free program will be available at www.dennylaineloc.eventbrite.com beginning July 30 at 9 a.m.

Meanwhile, he's pursued by the son of a half-blind cattle baron who suffers from premonitions. This psychological Western reminiscent of Shakespeare's “King Lear” was the last of eight films Stewart made with director Anthony Mann.

VIEWS

Does the county need 287g? GUEST COLUMN

The ICE 287g program has 15,000 agencies across the nation eligible to participate in the program. Only 79 participate, why? Only two agencies in Virginia participate including Culpeper County Sheriff’s Office, why only two? Why would agencies such as Fairfax County that once participated withdraw? The simple answer is the program has an added cost to the local taxpayer with no added benefit. We don’t need the added smoke or mirrors. The Sheriff can choose to cooperate with ICE without enrolling in the program, it has been done this way for years in Culpeper. Ice reported for fiscal year 2018 the 287g program with all participating agencies encountered 1808 aliens. Since Culpeper’s Sheriff signed a contract with ICE more than a year ago, no one has been detained under the 287g program. Our emotions about this program make us believe it is making a difference when in reality, the only change is an increased cost to

CJ Johnson

local tax dollars based only on making you feel safer. The underlying costs are much greater: legal immigrants fear being a part of our community; illegal immigrants fear reporting rapes, assaults, robberies while those that commit these crimes are free on our streets and continue to go unnoticed. We as a community need to focus on getting criminals off the street to make our community safe while Congress focuses on securing the border. In order for a person to be turned over to ICE they must meet certain criteria: 1. They have been previously deported or 2. They have created a heinous crime and are here illegally, only after a conviction of that crime and finishing any jail/prison sentence can ICE start a deportation process. More than 60% return to the U.S. after being deported. Immigration is a Federal Government problem, until the borders are secure, we will continue to have problems with illegal immigrants. Prince William County Adult Detention Center is the only other agency in Virginia participating in the 287g program. During its first year of participation it cost approximately $6.3 million local tax dollars. Of course Culpeper is not close to the size or population of Prince William County

but, you need to ask yourself how much extra are you willing to pay to feel like we are doing something about the illegal immigrants. How much of an increase to personal property and real estate taxes is acceptable to fund this program? If an Illegal or undocumented immigrant is here, they are committing a civil crime that is about the equivalent of a traffic violation such as speeding or not using a turn signal. I am not trying to minimize the situation, but it is not an offense that a local or state officer can arrest someone on sight unless they have committed another offense where an arrest is warranted. I feel that anyone coming to our great nation should follow the proper procedures to get here and after getting here start the process towards citizenship. I am opposed to illegal immigration. I am also opposed to the 287g program because there is no added benefit, added costs to the taxpayer, and with added unreported crimes. I assure you, we can have a safer community without breaking the bank or sacrificing our community values. CJ Johnson is running for Culpeper County Sheriff in November.

Virginia's small business is thriving Virginia’s small businesses are heading into summer in pretty good shape. They’ll be among the beneficiaries of a $1 billion tax-relief package that cleared the General Assembly this winter. The package brings Virginia’s income tax code in line with the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and includes a 50% increase in the standard deduction and a one-time refund of $110 per taxpayer. Before this year’s legislative session ended in February, small businesses also convinced lawmakers to reject a bundle of bills that would have driven up the cost of doing business in the commonwealth and hurt employees. These bad bills included a proposal to double Virginia’s minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 an hour, something I believe would have helped legislators score a few political points but wound

up hurting the very people supporters were trying to help. Basically, if the government makes businesses start people at a higher wage, then employers would have to raise prices to cover the higher cost of labor or find a way to get along with fewer employees. Working with my association, NFIB, Virginia’s small businesses also helped defeat several bills that would have forced them to provide sick or maternity leave with pay. Big corporations can afford to offer paid leave, but many small businesses can’t. Small business owners understand how hard it can be to find and keep good workers, and they’ll try to accommodate their employees as best they can, but some small businesses can’t afford to pay someone who’s out sick and hire someone else to cover for them. We had a good legislative session, but small business doesn’t get a

summer vacation. For starters, all 140 seats in the General Assembly are up for reelection in 2019. The primary is June 11, and the general election is Nov. 5. This is important because small business is the engine that drives Virginia’s economy. According to the U.S. Small Business Administration, small business accounts for 99.5% of all businesses in the commonwealth, and small businesses employ 47% of the state’s private-sector workforce. That’s why we need to remind our local legislators this summer to support legislation that helps our small businesses succeed and enables them to hire more people. Nicole Riley is state director of NFIB, the nation’s leading small business advocacy organization. She lives in Richmond.

Rixey Records officially launches Rixey Records officially launched this week. The free-standing label, started by brothers Mason and Tanner Carlton, is a grassroots platform for creatives in the Piedmont region. "We wanted to create an environment where we could support our own projects and foster the creativity of local artists," said Tanner Carlton. "We realized that the best way to do that would be starting our own label." Rixey will primarily feature music and podcasts. The multi-faceted label will launch with the debut single "Add it to the List" from indie folk duo Wine Thief, and the first three episodes of "Feed the Jar," an actual-play Dungeons & Dragons podcast. Several artists and podcasts are in the works for release later this year, with plenty of room for growth. "I am excited for Rixey to contribute to the local music scene," said Mason Carlton. "We're hoping to produce many more artists and shows. If you are a local musician, creative, or just have a cool idea for a pod cast, give us a call or shoot us an email." If you are interested in signing with Rixey, submit your information at rixey.co/submit. For anything else, visit rixey.co.

Weekly Tarotscope for Aug. 29: Ace Of Swords, 9 Of Swords TAROTSCOPES

We want to pay close attention to our thinking Cara Cutro this week, remembering that anxiety and worry originate in the mind. The Ace of Swords indicates great new ideas and victory. We may be realizing something this week. Things are becoming clear. This is a card of breakthrough. It is wise to seek the truth. If we are feeling doubtful it’s okay. Doubt will lead us to inquiry. If we are willing to investigate our thinking, the truth will be revealed. Coupled with the 9 of Swords, whatever clarity that comes, or breakthrough that is experienced, may arouse fear. The combination of

these two cards is powerful. Sometimes having access to this type of energy can be a double-edged Sword. Remember to seek the truth above all else. The 9 of Swords represents thoughts that create great anxiety. If we can change our thinking through a simple method of questioning our fears, we will find that the truth isn’t as bad as we may think. Use the Sword wisely. Cara Cutro is a spirit centered teacher and life coach residing in Sperryville, VA. She is an herbalist, massage therapist, reiki master, intuitive counselor, tarot reader, and the owner of Abracadabra Massage & Wellness and the Wisdomkeepers School. For a full list of services or to setup an appointment with her or one of her team members, book online www.caracadabra.com or call 540-878-7085.

Rockwater Park recepient of nonprofit funds to empower youth By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer The Town of Culpeper officially opened Rockwater Park Tuesday. During a ribbon cutting at the town’s newest park, Director of Economic Development and Tourism Paige Read thanked the three nonprofits that donated more than $250,000 for the park. Culpeper Wellness Foundation donated $210,000, the PATH Foundation donated $30,000 and the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation donated $20,000 to help install the obstacle course at the park - which resembles the course featured on the popular American Ninja Warrior TV show. “We did a survey of middle and high school youth last year, and what we heard from them was one of the top things they wanted was an obstacle course,” Culpeper Wellness Foundation President Shari Landry said. “We worked with the town and got it done within a year. This directly responds to what we heard from kids.” Christy Connolly, President/ CEO of the PATH Foundation, grew up in Culpeper and knows

Marcus Haywood, trainer with Powell Wellness Center, runs the ninja course at Rockwater Park Tuesday. how important it is to give children something to do in the town. “Getting kids outside and enjoying recreation (is important to us),” she said. “Technically it’s valuable because you can quantify it but truly it’s an invaluable partnership,” Read said. “Without them, these

assets, it would have been spread out over three to four years over the Parks and Rec budget. This is one of the beautiful times where nonprofits and government can truly give back.” Culpeper Town Police officer Kenny Ortega took to the course Tuesday afternoon in a demon-

stration. It’s harder than it seems, he said, but it’s great for kids. “When I was practicing during the weekend, there was a bunch of kids out here completing the course without any issues at all,” he said. “It’s an all-around body workout. It’s a great addition for the town, it’s great for the kids.”
