Annual community Thanksgiving Service scheduled for Saturday By Amy Wagner Contributing Writer The Culpeper County Christian Ministerial Association is once again sponsoring this year’s Community Thanksgiving Service which will be held on Saturday, November 17 at Reformation Lutheran Church. Held during the week at Culpeper Baptist Church for the past several years, the Association decided to move to a smaller more intimate location this year and change to a weekend in hopes to draw more people from the community. Key to the organization of the service, and speaking to the community, Nancy Sharman said this annual 2018_HOH_Ad_Cpep.pdf 1 11/5/18 service is “to say thank you to you
and your families for your service to our community, your service to our state of Virginia and your service to our great America”. Pastor Brad Hales said he and his congregation are excited to host this years’ service. “What an opportunity we have to come together and worship the living and hope filled Jesus,” he said last week. The Sherriff’s Department will present the colors this year and the CCCMA is inviting all elected officials, business owners and community residents to attend. This year’s speaker is Dr. Todd Robinson who is the Discipleship Pastor at Mikado Baptist Church in Macon, Georgia and Executive Director of the Next Step Men’s Res4:06 PM idential Addiction Recovery Minis-
tries. “Word about recovery is prevalent right now, in our area,” said Erick Kalenga explaining why Robinson was chosen to speak this year. Kalenga, president of the CCCMA, connected with Robinson after he visited and spoke at Novum Baptist Church earlier in July of this year. “I would love to speak, at the Thanksgiving service, about restoration through unity and cooperation,” said Robinson referencing how the church in Corinthians was so divided and Paul worked to help strengthen and restore them. Robinson, who has a Doctor of Philosophy in Counseling, has served the Governor’s Office of Transition, Support and Re-entry for his state and directs his community re-entry
coalition. This annual service provides a place and a time for the community to come together. “It’s a sense of unity. We are coming together as a community to give thanks. We have so much to be thankful for,” said Kalenga. “Let us celebrate this season with gratitude, grace and a deeper understanding and love for one another,” said Sharman. The offering from the Community Service this year will benefit the Culpeper “First Call for Help”, a benevolent and assistance fund managed by the local Department of Social Services. Non-perishable and canned foods will also be accepted for the Salvation Army Food Pantry.

CULPEPER YOUTH SPOTLIGHT
CCPS begins design of new CTE facility Culpeper County Public Schools moved a step closer to the reality of a Career and Technical Education school Monday evening. At the monthly CCPS School Board meeting, the board voted 7-0 to authorize Superintendent Tony Brads to enter into a contract with RRMM Architects for the design of the CTE Facility. It didn’t take much conversation to approve the motion, as each board member was extremely pleased with the creation of the facility. “We’re very excited,” Brads said. In other business, the board received an update on school bus stop arm cameras. The cameras have been deployed on busses and when the arm is out, they start recording said Lt. Joe Curtis with the Culpeper County Sheriff’s Office. The company, BusPatrol, will upload the photos and video to a site where Curtis can either approve a citation for the alleged violator or can ask for clarifications. There have been 67 violators caught already with an 82.7 percent approval rating. Stacey Timmons, Executive Director of Operations, said that in the past bus drivers would have to take time off from work to attend court for violations, but this process is streamlined. The hope is that the program will help cut down on violations. “Thank you for your hard work in helping keep kids safe,” board member Nate Clancy said.

When I walk into every store these days, I am bombarded with Christmas lights and winter themed decorations. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love this time of year when we get together with friends and family and celebrate. But one very important holiday seems to get very little attention these days. Thanksgiving is a time to reflect on all the blessings and triumphs we've had over the year. Sometimes, it's easy to think of these positive events. Other days, however, it's a challenge to think of something we're thankful for. So instead of waiting for the end of November to make a list of thanks, take some time everyday to think of something you're thankful for. This not only will put you in a more positive mindset, but will also show that there's something good in every day.

worked for Congressman Dave Brat. Reeves said, "We could not be more enthused to have Chris Snider on Team Reeves. His knowledge of the district and his dedication to serving Virginia is like no other - he has years of experience and our team is stronger with Chris on it." Senator Reeves was elected to the Virginia Senate in 2011 and announced his re-election last month. "It is with great enthusiasm that I accept Senator Reeves’ offer to be his Senior Advisor," said Snider. "This will allow me to continue the work I began when I was first elected to local government in Culpeper, and while I worked for our two most recent members of congress, Eric Cantor and Dave Brat. I have developed connections with local officials and provided the highest level of constituent service possible. Also, I have forged relationships across party lines, always mindful of those I have been entrusted to serve, the people. Bryce and I have worked together on a variety of issues many times over the years, and I respect him as a man of faith, a fellow veteran, and a dedicated public servant. He is a man of high character, and I am honored that he has asked me to join his team so that I may continue to serve Virginia and my fellow Virginians." Bryce Reeves is a small business owner, former Army Ranger, and former Prince William County narcotics detective. He currently represents the 17th District in the Virginia Senate, which includes the City of Fredericksburg and the Counties of Albemarle (part), Culpeper (part), Louisa (part), Orange, and Spotsylvania (part). Senator Reeves Chairs the Senate Committee on Rehabilitation and Social Services, in addition to sitting on the Committees on Courts of Justice, General Laws and Technology, Rules, and Privileges and Elections. Senator Reeves resides in Spotsylvania County with his wife Anne and their two children, Nicole and Jack.

LOCAL NEWS Culpeper County High School honors veterans By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Sgt. Major Ludwell Brown always wanted to yell in a school. “Raaaa,” he yelled, to a round of applause from the Culpeper County High School students assembled for the school’s second annual Veterans’ Day ceremony. Brown thanked the more than 50 veterans in attendance for their service, their sacrifice and then in his booming, commanding voice, implored the students to do what he did to reach the rank of Sgt. Major - give 100 percent. “Don’t ever let anyone tell you what you can’t do, if you think you are good enough there is nothing that can hold you back,” Brown said. Brown, a 1964 graduate from Taylor High School in Orlean, was drafted out of high school and can still vividly recall the day his mother handed
him the letter. “I had not seen my mother cry before,” Brown said. “To see her hand me this letter, and turn her head and walk off assured me that something important had to be in that letter. The only thing I could say was ‘Mom, don’t worry about it, it’s going to be alright.’” Brown was more than alright, he said, because God had already ordained his way. He made a career out of the military, married, had three children and became a qualified tanker in the Army. It was there that he met a Gen. Abrams, who Brown asked if he could do what he saw 3-star generals do to 4-star generals … take off their books. “If you think you are good enough, report to the Pentagon,” Brown recalls Abrams advice. Brown left combat arms, “went into the house where generals live” and worked for 12 gen➤ See Veterans, Page 7
BIZ BIO The People of Wellspring: Nabeel Babar, END Nabeel Babar, MD, sees the hidden connections. Babar, who joined Wellspring Health Services as Wellspring’s endocrinologist in September, is fascinated by something that doesn’t even cross the minds of many people: the complex interplay of systems within the body, all working behind the scenes to keep us alive and healthy. Endocrinology is a medical specialty firmly rooted in physiology, a subject I fell in love with in medical school,” Babar explains. Physiology deals with how the various organ systems in our body function seamlessly and without our control, and how these systems interact with one another. Our normal physiology is disrupted when we choose to adopt unhealthy lifestyles through bad dietary choices and lack of exercise—when this happens we develop diseases like obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and high cholesterol.” At Wellspring, Babar focuses on general adult endocrinology, with a special interest in obesity, type 2 diabetes, and thyroid diseases. He brings 10 years of experience to the job, including a residency at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York and a fellowship at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD. In December, Babar’s practice will be part of a new hybrid service model from Wellspring that provides family and internal medicine along with specialty services all under one roof at Mulberry Commons. Babar’s glad to be away from big
city settings, and excited to be a part of Wellspring precisely because of Wellspring’s commitment to providing the highest quality local health care possible. “I think what sets Wellspring apart from the large corporate Nabeel Babar, END healthcare entities is that it’s a homegrown organization that aims to improve access to quality care for locals,” Babar said. “The result is more personalized and individualized care for patients. Within one year [Wellspring CEO] Dr. [Khalid] Athar and his team have made tremendous progress, and I’m proud to be a part of that effort.” When he’s not at Wellspring, you’re likely to find Babar outdoors doing what he loves to do—hiking, biking, or camping with his wife and 5 children. He also enjoys traveling and visiting with family, including his parents, both physicians themselves. “I come from of a family of physicians so perhaps medicine is in my blood,” Babar said. “I watched them devote their lives to their patients and serving their communities. As a child I never thought I would follow in their footsteps, but eventually I realized that I share their love for public service and making a difference in the lives of my patients.”

Noodleheads brings comfort food to Culpeper By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Noodleheads is out of this world. Culpeper’s newest restaurant, located at 201 S East St., combines a scientific, space theme with one of the most iconic comfort foods in the world - mac and cheese. Owned by Culpeper residents Caroline Graham and Martha Bickers and managed by Tara Moylan, the restaurant hosted its grand opening with the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce and Culpeper Renaissance Inc. Nov. 7. Graham, who owns the building, started to think late last year about what to do after the previous tenant left. Her son Mark suggested they should open their own place and his favorite food is mac and cheese. The rest just came together perfectly Moylan said. “Just like macaroni and cheese does,” she said with a hearty laugh. Mac and cheese was brought to the United States by President Thomas Jefferson, and Noodleheads is proud to continue on that regional tradition in Culpeper. “It’s kind of an uncommon thing,” Moylan said. “We’re the only place around here doing it.” It only seemed fitting that the grand opening was hosted on a cool November afternoon, when a warm bowl of cheesy noodles helped warm the soul. While this is like your grandma’s mac and cheese, there are twists. They offer a classic mac but then spice it up with bacon, a pizza mac, a chicken alfredo mac, parmesan noodles, a taco mac or a mushroom mac. “Mac and cheese is like the pinnacle of comfort food and it makes a great base,” Moylan said.“Imagine a pizza restaurant but instead of a pizza crust, we’re going to give you
super delicious mac and cheese with different toppings.” The business is focused on the family - as obviously little kids are drawn to the ooey gooey goodness of mac and cheese. “Besides the food, we’re interested in having some children’s programming, educational programming and family friendly stuff during the day,” Moylan said. Once Noodleheads acquires their ABC liquor license in the next few weeks, they plan to offer trivia, karaoke and game night for adults in the later evenings. Moylan laughs when she said they are going for “geek chic,” catering not only to families but to the revitalized “nerd aesthetic” that has become popular in the last few years with the rise of comic book movies, board games and more. ➤ See Noodleheads, Page 7

➤ Veterans, from Page 4 erals over 26 years. He talked directly to the CCHS culinary arts programs, one of his other passions, pointing out they could one day work in the White House. His passion, his drive is what helped make him successful and he asked the students to put forth the same effort in everything they do - including honoring the veterans assembled. “I busted my butt every day I showed up for the job,” Brown said. “I did not take one day for granted that I had it made. When you put forth 100 percent in anything you do in life, can’t nobody hold you back.” Prior to the ceremony, the veterans gathered in the school library to be served a breakfast by the culinary arts program and to share stories. Marine Corp JROTC Commander Major John Liddle said the students could learn a lot from the veterans. “Judging by their reaction, it’s humbling, sobering and inspiring, all at the same time,” Liddle said. “We teach values before we teach drill. We teach values before we teach physical training. We teach values before we teach marksmanship. All of the things we teach here are grounded in citizenship.” Culpeper County High School’s Marine Corps JROTC is one of only two in the Commonwealth recognized as a Marine Corps JROTC honor school. Liddle praised the leadership of junior captain Kaitlyn Snuffer, who has helped lead the program to first place in armed and unarmed competitions. Snuffer said she was honored to share the same space with the veterans Friday. “It’s amazing, the freedom we have today is because of them and to get to see them and
Local News
meet them and get to talk to them is really great,” Snuffer said. She said that the secret to the cadets’ success has been communication, and pointed out several veterans said the same thing when talking about their service. “You have to make sure your troops are prepared,” Snuffer said. “You have to sound mean sometimes to get them to work, but they know it’s out of love and it’s what's best for them. At the end of the day, we have great camaraderie and we do it all together.” Snuffer said she hopes to work for the Federal Borough of Investigations some day, and this has helped inspire her. “Just being here makes me want to go into the military 10 times more,” Snuffer said. CCHS principal Danny Soderholm smiled with pride as his students interacted with the veterans. “It’s a wonderful way to teach our students about citizenship, also the sacrifices that go along with that,” Soderholm said. During the ceremony, CCHS honored a Gold Star family in their midst, as sophomore Alexis Thomas’ brother Cameron was killed in action in 2017 in Afghanistan. Del. Nick Freitas, a veteran himself, said he was proud to have high schools like CCHS and Eastern View High School in the district he represents honor veterans. “It does show respect for the men and women who have worn the uniform for the country,” Freitas said. “There are so many stories here, of sacrifice, of camaraderie, of achievement, of loss - for students to have an opportunity to hear those stories from the people who have experienced it - I think it makes a deeper impression. It’s the interaction that I’m so impressed with here today.”

HOME & GARDEN Fall’s progress brings surprises As fall progresses, I’ve been noting changes and have run into a few surprises. Last Thursday (Nov. 1), I heard my first whitethroated sparrow since this species left to breed up north in the spring. A few days later, a small flock was flitting around in the forest edge behind my house. On Friday, I noted a few asters were still blooming down around the ponds, while others are apparently done for the year. Up the mountain, where I live, a few meadow phlox blooms were also hanging in there in my gardens but had gone to seed a couple of days later. Most of the year, great blue

herons have been visiting the ponds, especially the stocked trout pond, looking for fish and aquatic amphibians. Bears and other hunters and scavengers also show up. Now we have — not for the first time — a bald eagle working that pond. My landlords set up an automated trail cam down there and, along with night shots of a raccoon, an opossum and a domestic cat, they also got photos of the eagle and a crow eating remains of fish during the day. I was a bit surprised to find an eastern comma butterfly warming up on a bench next to my house on Saturday, when the temperature was hovering around 50 degrees. Its varied diet, which does not rely on flower nectar, is the main reason this species can be active from early spring to late fall — sometimes even appearing during warm spells in the dead of winter. ➤ See Fall, Page 9

➤ Fall, from Page 8 With a mix of mild and chilly weather and intermittent rain, I’ve been looking for more mushrooms around the pond and in the forest further up the mountain since the first crop I saw early this fall disappeared but wasn’t having any luck. Most fall mushrooms finish blooming by mid-fall, depending on the weather, so I had little hope of finding any. On Saturday, with rain forecast, I had thrown a tarp over the woodpile behind my house to keep it dry, knowing the saturated soil under it would likely thwart that effort. When I pulled it off the next day, I found at least four species of mushrooms had popped up around most of the perimeter of the pallet holding the wood, with a few still emerging from the dead leaves and rotting wood there. Most of the ’shrooms looked familiar, but a striking new one caught my eye. It was about 3 inches tall, with an olive-green, knobbish head and a thick, spongy white stalk with a hole in the top. I figured it was in the Phallus genus, named for the appearance of mushrooms in the genus. It’s the first one I’ve seen in the flesh, so to speak. I left the tarp off overnight, and the next day the head seemed to

be lightening and exuding a funky smell, as mushrooms in this genus doing, giving the genus its common name, stinkhorn. Working my way through the species key at Michael Cuo’s Mushroom Expert website, I tentatively concluded the ’shroom in question was a Phallus impudicus (common stinkhorn), impudicus being Latin for “shameless.” The fruiting body of this species arises out of an egg-like structure with several layers. It shoots up at a speed and height that is amazing, which accounts for why I hadn’t noticed it before I put the tarp on. In the “egg” stage, this species is edible, according to “Mushrooms of West Virginia and the Central Appalachians,” by William C. Roody. At some point, the sugary slime that covers the mushroom’s outer layer and contains the fungus’ spores gives off a malodorous aroma, the source of its common name. The smell attracts insects, which, after chowing down, carry the spores off on their feet, spreading the species to other places. Although I didn’t notice any smell, I did see a few ants were already at work on the mushroom. The next day, after a night of heavy rain, the green on the mushroom was almost gone, exposing a shallowly pitted white layer underneath, and now I could definitely detect a pungent odor coming from the ’shroom. The smell has been described

many ways, including “potent,” “fetid” and resembling that of carrion. Personally, I found it funky but not that offensive, although the smell was hard to wash off. Despite the light rain that was still falling, the odor was attracting small flies along with the ants I’d seen the day before. A combination of rain and insects probably accounted for the disappearing olive layer that carried the spores. Cuo notes that the common stinkhorn is often mistaken for a yellow morel by morel hunters looking for morels in summer. But they are “hunting with their hearts

instead of their minds,” he adds. “The season alone (to say nothing of the presence of stinky slime and the underground ‘egg’) should serve to separate the stinkhorn,” he points out. “Morels don't grow in summer . . . and ‘de Nile’ is not just a river in Egypt.” This stinkhorn usually blooms from late summer to at least the end of October. Once it bursts out of its “egg,” it can grow incredibly fast, sometimes reaching the form I found it in within an hour or two. It can grow to as much as 10 inches within several hours. The one I found was only about 3 inches, but being covered with the tarp could have limited its growth. (See time-lapse photography of a common stinkhorn coming up at HowStuffWorks). A few new mushrooms of other species were popping up around the perimeter of the wood pile. In lifting a board I use to hold down the tarp, I found a tangled mat of white, filamentous fungi. In the hopes of seeing more mushrooms, I left the tarp off. © 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.

Fincher named LB Henretty award winner at chamber banquet By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer

The Culpeper Chamber of Commerce named Leon Fincher as the LB Henretty award winner at the annual banquet Nov. 8. Fincher, the owner of Precision Machine Works, and a member of New Pathways helped create the machinist training school located on the Carver Center campus in Culpeper County. Standing on Thursday in front of a capacity crowd at Germanna’s Daniel Technology Center, Fincher choked back emotion as he accepted the award named after the man who helped plan Culpeper’s waterways. “It’s quite an honor,” said Fincher, standing with his wife Dianna. “It’s one I thought I would never see.” The machinist training school strives to help fill 175,000 open skilled jobs in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Fincher has been discussing such a school for 25 years, openingly lamenting the lack of laborers for Precision Machine Works. Instead of sulking, he became inspired and worked with county and state leaders to make

Remembrance event looks to bring community together By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer A Remembrance and Reflection program scheduled for Nov. 17 will honor the lives of three men killed in documented lynchings in Culpeper County. The program, set for Saturday at 2 p.m. at Culpeper Baptist Church, is scheduled on the 100th anniversary of the death of Allie Thompson by lynching. Thompson was killed 100 years ago three days before Thanksgiving. Also remembered will be William Grayson and William Thompson. Event organizer Zann Nelson first brought to light the lynching of Allie Thompson in 2006 in a three-part newspaper series in the Culpeper Star-Exponent along with writer Allison Brophy-Champion. She said Saturday’s event is to bring a part of history to light and to allow the community to remember and find a way to heal and move forward. “I have been working with the family of Allie Thompson for more than twelve years for an opportunity like this one,” said Nelson. The family was approached about 15 months ago and asked how they felt about a commemoration on the 100th anniversary of his death. “This is not about blame or anger or retribution,” Nelson said. “It is a remembrance, a commemoration if you will of a loss of a life. Particularly for Allie Thompson, because frankly we know the most about him, and we have almost 15 members of his descendant family. I went to them first and asked how
they felt about a program like this. They were very supportive and made it very clear that they didn’t want to be part of something with agitation. That has never been about that. I think the important thing is the community acknowledgement that with the coming together of the many different people of the community. That’s what this is about, about sharing that type of loss and grief.” Nelson said she has been interested in having an event like this since completing her initial research in 2006, saying she’s been “haunted by the story. “I have looked since then to find a way to bring the family some sense of closure. To bring some kind of awareness of the loss of life, unjustly of Allie Thompson. I have failed to make that happen,” Nelson said. “There were others who recognized it was 100 years this fall and suggested some type of memorialization.” While there are many in the community who have praised the program for bringing the topic forward and celebrating the life of Allie Thompson and the two other men, there are others who have told them to “keep it in the past.” “I think you’re always going to have that type of response from various and sundry places,” Nelson said. “I can’t speak for those people as to their not necessarily understanding why we should bring it up. I have received some less than positive commentary on bringing this forward now. Fortunately those have not been the majority we have received. The majority of feedback we’ve received is what a healing and unifying program to put forth.”

Following the final musical selection, attendees will gather at the county court yard about one and a half blocks away for a musical selection and prayer for forgiveness and love at the jail where Charles Allie Thompson was incarcerated and from where he was kidnapped. 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 carried rested 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 to a spot about a mile beyond Catalpa and hanged. The perpetrators were never pursued and subsequently never prosecuted. All guests are invited to return to the church for a light repast and informal conversation from 4 to 5 p.m. Pastors of all faiths are invited to join the attendees and are asked to be present by 1:45 PM. In addition, organizers are seeking those who would like to participate in singing the chorus of the final selection: Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah. If interested, please arrive by 12:30 for a brief rehearsal. Any questions, please contact Zann Nelson at M16439@aol.com or 540-718-3465.

FILM • “Dogfight” (Warner Bros., 1991 – Rated R*) Set in San Francisco in 1963, this original and thought-provoking drama chronicles the brief relationship between a young Marine (River Phoenix) who is about to be shipped out to Vietnam and the rather plain aspiring folk singer (Lili Taylor) who teaches him a few important lessons about life and the treatment of women. Presented as part of a series of films from contemporary women directors from the 1970s to the present, this is the second feature film directed by Nancy Savoca, who also directed “True Love” (1989), “Household Saints” (1993) and “Union Square” (2011). Savoca was mentored by John Sayles, and she in
turn, has mentored up-and-coming filmmakers through the IFP’s Emerging Visions program. 35mm archival film print. 92 min. *No one under the age of 17 will be admitted without a parent or guardian.

FILM • “Home for the Holidays” (Paramount, 1995) Holly Hunter stars as Claudia Larson, a single mom who, after being fired from her job as an art restorer and regretfully having an affair with her ex-boss, apprehensively decides to fly to Baltimore to spend Thanksgiving with her eccentric extended family. Jodie Foster directed this affectionate but dark comedy with a cast featuring Anne Bancroft and Charles Durning as Claudia’s parents and Robert Downey Jr. as her younger brother and confidante Tommy. Film critic Roger Ebert praised Foster's ability to “direct the film with a sure eye for the revealing little natural moment," and Downey's performance that "brings out all the complexities of a character who has used a quick wit to keep the world's hurts at arm's length."

JAZZ • After an awful accident
and a lengthy, but successful recovery, Frank Vignola returns to Little Washington Theatre on Saturday, Nov. 17, at 8 p.m. Frank Vignola’s Hot Jazz Trio has a devoted following who look forward to the group’s annual fall performance every year and have for over a decade. And it’s understandable. He’s wildly talented (Les Paul named Vignola to his “Five Most Admired Guitarists” list for The Wall Street Journal), and he’s a lot of fun to spend an evening with, especially when jamming and cutting up with fellow trio members, Vinny Raniolo and Gary Mazzaroppi. About the accident. . . In April of, 2017, Little Washington Theatre contacted Frank Vignola about returning to perform the following December. Frank’s response was shocking and worrisome. He shared that on March 30 of that same year he was in an ATV accident at his home in Warwick, NY. Frank was airlifted to a nearby trauma center, where he was diagnosed with four broken ribs, a broken collarbone, a shoulder broken in two places, and a broken arm which needed surgery. His lungs collapsed, and he suffered serious internal bleeding. He wrote, “I miraculously was out of the hospital in 6 days. I am lucky there was no brain, spine, nerve or leg damage. I am unsure of my future performing at this point . . .” One of the world’s greatest guitarists was unsure of his future performing? A year and a half later, here we are, triumph instead of tragedy. And here Frank Vignola will be! It’s fantastic to be able to welcome Frank, Vinny and Gary back to Rappahannock. It will be a joy to see them on stage again, dazzling and delighting us! Tickets may still be available at LittleWashingtonTheatre. com.

VIEWS Congratulations HOW I SEE IT
Congratulations to you, Abigail Spanberger, for narrowly defeating one of Virginia's finest statesmen. Your platform as a moderate Democrat, the overwhelming and record setting outside-the-state donations plus the ever ready persistent resister sisters were enough to claim the victory in the end. I fervently hope that you resist becoming a resister. Resisters are purposeful obstructionists willing to go out of their way to thwart anything they do not agree with, even when best for the country I would like to see you resist the temptation to gratify and seek acceptance of the Democrat establishment now awaiting your
Dr. Tom Neviaser
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Together we can make a community center work
I would like to give my personal opinion on the Community Center issue: The political savvy and grandstanding in our Community right now saddens me. I am not a politician and just can’t understand politics to this extreme on a local level. For me serving on the Board is not about being a Republican or Democrat, or having aspirations of furthering my political career, it is about representing the people in my district and trying to give our citizens more opportunities. It’s about pitching in with community service, youth development, quality of life, and keeping constituents updated on what we are doing in government. Yes, I did campaign three years ago on trying to bring a community center to Culpeper. The issue was on the ballot this past Tuesday because the majority of our Board members understand the importance of this project to our community. However, the political tactics and false information promoted by many third parties over the past 6 months and especially the past 6 weeks to manipulate the public is disappointing. Attacking me personally and attacking my Board position on social media is disturbing. My wife was livid and had a draft editorial letter to the paper ready to submit. I understand people opposing the issue and having their opinion but the aggressive nature
presence in the hallowed halls of Congress. After all, during your campaign you spoke of the new blood needed to lead your party, but there will be much pressure from many sides for you to cave to their whims unlike your predecessor who fought with his principles and didn't weaken. The amount of time and money spent on your election will be a front and center on every issue your seniors will bring to you for the next 2 years. There will be continued reminders of the help they bought for you. I ask you to resist the enormous stress of a newbie Congresswoman that, no doubt, has already started to kneed and mold you into a comrade in arms for the party. I am hoping to see you resist the expected call for multiple nuisance investigations and vilifying, bombastic hearings based on hearsay and flimsy evidence. Please resist the offers to
join in on a vengeful impeachment process that will go nowhere in the Senate, waste our valuable tax dollars and only act to satiate the Democrat base. I would ask that you also resist big government take over of our personal lives through meaningless and political manipulative social legislation and consider resisting an attack on the free enterprise system of America that has proven to be the most productive supplier of human needs. I respectfully request that you resist accepting whatever your seniors offer in healthcare just to keep alive the legacy of the man whose name it bears. To that end as well, may I urge you to resist throwing budgetary restraint and fiscal responsibility to the wind and becoming a spendthrift with mutual pork barrel bills and, above all, make all efforts to resist
legislation that does not preserve and observe the Constitution. Your success as a Congresswoman will now rest on what you actually decide to do now. Will you resist the accomplishments of the last two years and join with your establishment to undo the tax cuts that have made our economy boom, to encourage social division, to embolden illegal immigration, or will you actually work diligently as one American for a better America? After all, resisting has been the hallmark of your party for two years, and if you were honest in your campaign speeches which I followed closely, I would expect you to hold true to your word and resist the promised Trump resistance march now ramping up. I wish good luck for Virginia and America through your efforts. The 7th District will be watching.
that was displayed by many third parties is very surprising. Leading up to Election Day and the vote I was not able to lobby or steer the public on the community center issue because of Election and Referendum law. The only post I made was generic to encourage people to get out and vote, which was reviewed by our County Attorney. I am now receiving calls and messages from people stating why they chose to vote NO. I will attempt to answer some of those issues: First, the Board voted 7-0 to place building the community center on the ballot. The Board sent a RFI (request for interest) to 3 Recreation Entities (Powell Wellness, Golds Gym, YMCA). The YMCA was the only entity that responded to be interested in partnering with the County to maintain and operate the facility. The County would own the facility and the Recreation Entity (potentially the Y, because it still would have to be voted on by the Board even if the referendum passed) would lease the facility, example only: $1 per year for 25 years. The Board wanted no position in maintaining or operating the facility and having to appropriate a budget every year to do so. Simply build and lease to the Recreation Entity. Second, there seems to be issues with how the ballot read. I agree the language was confusing but the “may” (have this and that) was needed because the specific facility amenities are in concept until the Board votes one last time. That’s how government works.
The Board would have to discuss and ratify the Recreation Entity (potential YMCA) and vote again to go forward and build the project if it passed referendum. The Board reserved the right to not build the project if it passed referendum and to have the ability to build the project if it did not pass referendum. Decisions are always procured by Board vote. The amenities mentioned in the ballot language were in concept and could have been clearer. I am very confident the Board would have made the pool user friendly for kids and families. That is discussion and decision making that would come during Board discussions and the detailed architectural plan stage. That’s what this center was supposed to be all about: kids and families. Plus the multi-use gym part would be 3 different courts that would accommodate: basketball, soccer, volleyball, lacrosse, pickleball, etc. Plus a soccer field outside and in projected future phases more practice fields, picnic areas, trails, as the County already owns the 40 acres, which is about 1/2 mile past CCHS. The intention was to build sidewalks, bike paths, and add trolley service to the facility. The Sports Complex at Eastern View on one side of the County and this facility and complex on the edge of Town on the northern side. Third, the cost part of the ballot which read $13,144,000 for the purpose of paying the costs, “in whole or in part”: It reads like that because that number is the maximum amount the County would borrow. We hear why
can’t we facilitate private funds to build this center, or make it a public private partnership. Well we can but we have to get the ball rolling or the project will never materialize. The $13 million dollar number is an estimate that in my opinion is worst case scenario and how government estimates work to not exceed a maximum amount. It doesn’t take into account the contracting bidding process, people and contractors donating materials and labor to the effort because its a great cause. Philanthropists, people, and businesses that want to give and donate to the community center for legacy and name recognition toward certain venues within the facility. The overall costs could be $10 million, $5 million. An individual, a family, or a business, could decide to step up today and pay the entire cost to see their name on the facility and the number go to $0. How will we know if we do not move forward and are serious about the initiative. I was sad to see the measure not pass. This facility is needed in Culpeper. It will be a shame if our community cannot come together and make it happen. To the NO Voters for Question 3 - is it possible to work together and find middle ground? For Everyone - Do you have ideas? Are you aware of potential contributors who may have interest in this endeavor? Together we can make this work! Gary Deal Culpeper

Small changes can improve your health Recently six of my girlfriends visited for the weekend. It was their first time in Culpeper and they loved it! We enjoyed eating and shopping on Davis Street as well as visiting the local wineries and breweries. It was one of those weekends that just fills your soul. As you might imagine – with seven women who’ve known each other for decades – there was non stop chatter and we covered a lot of ground…the adventures of newly adult kids, grandkids, aging parents, relationships and, a frequent topic of conversation, our health. That’s become a hot topic for us over the past several years. From sharing stories of our aches and pains to comparing the results of blood tests and everything in between. Gone are the days when we felt invincible, throwing caution to the wind and assuming we would just naturally live long and active lives. Now we spend a lot of time talking about how to increase our
HEALTH AND WELLNESS Shari Landry
odds of living longer with our minds intact and bodies capable of doing the things we like to do. Like my friends, I take my health more seriously these days. I only wish I had paid this much attention to caring for my mind and body when I was younger! And I wish I could convince my kids to do the same but they are still wearing the invincibility cloak. While I have the good fortune to work with positive, enthusiastic and knowledgeable health and fitness professionals, their expertise is available to anyone in the community. With their help, I’m making small but meaningful lifestyle changes. Our nutritionist has convinced me to be more thoughtful about what I eat; like limiting the sugar in my diet, eating more whole foods and trying to get more greens on my plate. I’m challenging myself to eat foods with only ingredients I completely recognize. It’s a start! And then there is exercise. I have never been a real fan of exercise. I prefer to think about it rather than actually do it. However, for the past several months I’ve been making exercise a priority. I’ve been a relatively frequent visitor at both of our locations and
have tried all kinds of classes to see what works best for me. I’ve run laps in the pool, done yoga and played pickleball. I’ve exercised to country music and attempted a “hot hula” class (hilarious!). I’ve pushed a weighted sled, jumped on tires and lifted dumbbells, barbells, slam balls and more. I’ve tripped over my own feet, tripped over other people’s feet, laughed, cursed and whined. And guess what? I’ve started having fun with exercise AND it’s making a difference. My clothes fit better, my cholesterol is lower, my back aches less frequently and I am stronger. On top of that, I’ve met wonderful people who are in the same boat. We aren’t training for a marathon or looking to show off a “six pack”, we’re just doing our best to live healthy, active lives. I encourage you to make a small change or two that will improve your health. Maybe just by taking a walk around the neighborhood, choosing water instead of soda or joining me for an exercise class. I promise that there will be laughter involved and that’s good for your health too! Shari Landry is the President of Culpeper Wellness Foundation.
Churning caldron or enjoyable experience Buying a car. The thought creates either a burning, churning cauldron in your stomach, or it begins an enjoyable experience of research, sales pitches, discussions of safety, comfort and performance, and test drives that hopefully end in a purchase. Much of the car (or truck) buying experienced by a customer depends upon how much the visited dealerships value trustworthiness and good customer service. For instance, some dealers will offer a reasonable price for your current wheels if trading in, while other dealers lowball their offer so much that you threaten to walk away, and sometimes do. The last car I traded in differed by $3,400 between four different dealers, while the identical new car at each remained

within $900 difference. I eventually bought from a BBB Accredited dealership, and also by coincidence kept $2,500 more in my own pocket. The car buying experience should be a good one for consumers if trust and honesty are beliefs taken seriously by dealers. Thousands of BBB Accredited new and/or used car dealerships across the US, including many right here in Central Virginia, have proven they meet, and maintain, the rigid standards required to be an Accredited BBB Business. These dealerships prove to the public every day that a fair deal, great products and customer service aren't just words, but practiced beliefs. Can some nonBBB Accredited dealerships also be trustworthy? Sure. Sadly for the value of “trust,” some dealers practice poor customer service. They sell shoddy cars shined to look great, but underneath they’re a mess. Consumers deserve better. Dealerships are, for the most part, honest, and they provide quality
customer service and dependable vehicles. But for those dealerships who, almost as a business model, aren’t that concerned about tarnishing their own industry, shame on them. Consumers must do their research ahead of time. There are plenty of fair and honest dealerships, but there are plenty of “shady” dealerships too. Go to our BBB website (also click on the BBB Scam Tracker link and review the current scams on car buying and repair) and research dealerships. Take notice especially of the auto dealerships that have taken the extra demanding step of going through a rigorous standards based screening to become (and maintain) a BBB Accredited Business. Do all you can to reduce the stress of the car buying experience. Your stomach especially will appreciate it. Barry N. Moore is the President & CEO of the Better Business Bureau serving Central Virginia.

Heidenber Properties acquires Culpeper Colonnade Contributed report Heidenberg Properties Group announces the $32.65 million acquisition of the Culpeper Colonnade in Culpeper from Regency Centers Corporation. The newly acquired property is a 307,000 square foot shopping center anchored by a 70,000 square foot Martin's Food Market, a 127,000 square foot Target (shadow-anchored), a 36,000 square foot Dick's Sporting Goods, a 21,000 square foot PetSmart, and a 15,000 square foot Staples which will be replaced by a 16,000 square foot Michaels. In addition to these national anchors, the center has a number of compelling fast-casual dining options including Chick-fil-A, Panera Bread, Glory Days Grill, Chipotle, and IHOP. The center is currently 100% occupied and is located approximately 65 miles southwest of Washington, D.C. Culpeper Colonnade is located off of Business Route 29, the area's main retail corridor trafficked by over 25,000 vehicles per day. Immediately surrounding the center
along Route 29 are other nationally prominent retailers such as Walmart, Lowe's, Kohl's, T.J. Maxx, Aldi, and Lidl. With a critical mass of retailers, Culpeper is the dominant retail location within a 15mile radius. Culpeper, VA sits at the center of four main interstates, including I-66 to the north, I-95 to the east, I-64 to the south, and I-81 to the west. President and CEO of Heidenberg Properties, Robert Heidenberg stated, "We are excited to acquire the Culpeper Colonnade from Regency Centers. This acquisition is in many ways a culmination of the investment strategy that we have been executing over the past few years. It affords us the opportunity to add another dominant, grocery-anchored center, as well as grow our portfolio in the Mid-Atlantic. The tenant mix at this center is exceptional and the recent commitment by Michaels to replace Staples is just one of many endorsements of both the market and the location of this shopping center." The population in the 5-mile trade area has expanded significantly since 2000, growing approx-
imately 70% to over 30,000. Moreover, the ratio of household incomes (Average: $83,400) to home values (Median: $238,000) provides a customer base with significant discretionary income. Driving the population growth is both excellent access to the suburban employment centers that ring the capitol and a growing number of high-tech firms that have established operations
in Culpeper, including Terremark's 320,000 square foot secure network access point (NAP) data center and the Library of Congress's 415,000 square foot state-of-the-art National Audio-Visual Conservation Center. Heidenberg Properties and its partners have acquired over 900,000 square feet of retail properties since January of 2017.

L E T S E AT ! Food Closet hosts 'buy-a-bird' The Culpeper Food Closet has kicked off its annual "Buy-a-Bird" campaign. For the past several years, thos in need in the Culpeper community have been provicded with the necessary makings for a traditional Thanksgiving meal. SWIFT, Culpeper Human Services and the
Culpeper Food Closet coordinate the efforts and resoureces that make the event successful. The Culpeper Food Closet spearheads the program by purchasing the turkeys, while SWIFT provides the fixin's such as potatoes, dressing, veggies, etc. Culpeper Human Services receives
and evaluates each application before passing them on to the Culpeper Food Closet for final processing. Prior to the event, Nov. 17, SWIFT will pack all the fixings in tote bags based on the number of people in each family that qualifies. On the day of distribution, recipients will start arriving at the Davis Street parking lot by 8 a.m. The average cost of each frozen turkey is $15 and we are always
looking for donations. Last year we distributed 530 turkeys, helping 90 elderly and shut ins. That's a total of 1,450 Thanksgiving meals. As the Culpeper Food Closet approaches the end of the year, they are running at a deficit of $13,000. The Food Closet serves more than 350 families each month, averaging approximately 11,000 meals. The Culpeper Food Closet receives no funds from local, state or federal agencies. If you or your organization would like to contribute call or email Billy Green at 540-547-2342, billyandjulia@vabb. com.
