RICH CROWLEY’S SNAPSHOT OF CULPEPER

Public hearings were held Tuesday evening by the Culpeper Town Council in a special session to discuss the proposed increase to the lodging tax and the proposed 2017 budget. There were no speakers for or against the proposed increase to the lodging tax which moves from 5 to 6 percent effective July 1, 2016. According to town manager Chris Hively, that increase will bring in an additional $66,000 in revenue. The proposed FY2017 budget totals $59,336,926 and includes the proposed lodging tax increase. It also includes light and power increases. Light & Power rates are proposed to increase by 2 percent to all nonfuel electric rates with the exception of the Basic Customer Charge and the RKVA which will not increase. Water rates are proposed to increase by 2 percent. Sewer rates are proposed to increase by 2 percent. Hively said that with offsets, customers should actually see a reduced rate for electricity. Water and waste will increase about $.60 per month for customers and $.74 a month for wastewater. In other business, council approved an agreement for sewer service to the Ole’ Country Store. “They have a failing septic system and would like to move forward with construction of a pump station,” said Hively. “It’s to our benefit to get them on town sewer service.” The town will own the line but operation and maintenance responsibilities will rest with Ole’ Country Store which is allowing the town to construct a boat ramp giving access from that location to Lake Pelham.

FATAL SHOOTING

Two killed and a third injured in Tuesday night incident in Culpeper County The Virginia State Police are investigating two fatal shootings that took place Tuesday night (June 7, 2016) in Culpeper County. Shortly before 9 p.m., Tuesday, an adult female fled her residence in the 13000 block of Gray Street after getting into an argument and being threatened at gunpoint by her estranged husband, Willis N. Walker Jr., of Culpeper, Va. The woman ran to a nearby neighbor’s house for refuge. Walker followed her to the neighbor’s residence and forced his way inside at gunpoint. Once inside the residence, Walker shot a 74-year-old male occupant. Walker then searched the neighbor’s house for his estranged wife, whom he found and violently assaulted. A second adult female, who was hiding inside the house at the time, called 911 and the Culpeper County Sheriff’s Office responded to the residence. Deputies arrived within a minute to the scene and Walker came outside armed with a shotgun and began threatening the deputies. He refused to comply with their repeated commands to put down his weapon. Instead, Walker began advancing towards the deputies threatening them with the shotgun, at which time one of the deputies fired at Walker. Walker died at the scene. His remains have been transported to the Office of the Medical Examiner in Manassas for examination and autopsy. Walker’s estranged 51-year-old wife was transported to the UVA Culpeper Hospital for treatment of non-life threatening injuries. They had only recently married. The 70-year-old female who called 911 was not injured in the incident. At this time, State Police are still in the process of notifying the deceased male’s next of kin. No deputies were injured in the incident. At the request of Culpeper County Sheriff Scott H. Jenkins, the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation’s Culpeper Field Office is investigating both fatal shootings. The investigations remain ongoing at this time.

A taste of things to come Folks have been noticing activity at the former Hazel River Inn on Davis Street. The hustle and bustle surrounds owner Andrew Ferlazzo and his new restaurant, Grass Rootes. The name is a nod to history according to Ferlazzo. Root was the original owner in 1765. Sourcing food from local farms in Culpeper, Fauquier, Rappahannock, Orange and nearby areas, Ferlazzo said plans are to raise their own animals. “That’s very exciting,” says Ferlazzo who wants to start small and grow. “We’re still working on the website and want to open quietly.” Stay tuned for more but plan to add a new taste venue at 195 East Davis Street in the very near future.

Frank Bossio retired as Culpeper County’s county administrator last year. While he stepped back from local government service, he had no intention of getting out of the business of making things happen. Headlining the agenda under new business at the board’s Tuesday morning meeting, Bossio was at the podium lobbying for support of a new business venture. And the place to house that new venture would be the Carver Center which the county has already dedicated funds toward renovations and improvements. “We need a new approach,” said Bossio, “for many years as the economy prospered there has been an emphasis on going to college with less than optimal results for technical training.” “There is a new demand for experien-

tial learning.” “Our goal is to provide alternative professional paths for those who don’t want college degrees or who have been in the workforce and are in need of training for current relevant careers,” said Bossio who represents a group including Leon Fincher, Dave Dunwoody, Lisa Peacock and Ed Dalrymple. “Technology has displaced a lot of jobs,” continued Bossio, “knowing that education is a driver of the economy...we can change that directive.” The trend toward restoring vocational training in the county has been an ongoing discussion. “We’ve been talking about this for 20 years,” said Catalpa representative Sue Hansohn who has seen many successes through the Culpeper Cosmetology Training Center which she spearheaded into existence. Cedar Mountain representative C. Jack Frazier, who is very familiar with the construction industry, feels the need is great in the county for this type of training. For more than 30 decades, Precision Machine Works, owned by Leon Fincher, ➤ See Training, Page 5

➤ Training, from Page 4 has been in the business of operating CNC machines. CNC (Computer Numeric Control) machinery is used in manufacturing both metal and plastic parts that require a high level of precision and accuracy. Employing 17, Fincher told the board that each year he looks to add but is unable to find qualified employees. A basic machine shop with CNC training would offer preparation for advanced manufacturing apprenticeships - expandable to all trades. “It’s a program applicable to all,” stressed Bossio, “those starting out and for those in mid-career transitions.” While working in concert with Germanna Community College and the Culpeper County Public School Systems, Bossio sees this facility as a first step on a path to create experiential lifelong learning. “This is a local start point,” said Bossio. New Pathways LLC Years and months of discussion have led to the creation of New Pathways LLC to be established as a non-profit 501(c). At this point, some $50,000 has been raised but Bossio didn’t mince words that what they need is seed money to get the facility off the ground and running. To that end, he was seeking $60,000 for tool up costs and another $100125,000 to operate for the first year. Much of that money would go toward the hiring of an instructor at roughly $78,000. According to Bossio, Precision Machine Works will provide many of the tools. An instructor has been lined up who is ready to start and they’ve identified an GX 480 APC CNC machine in North Carolina that just needs to be picked up. This hands on training facility will not only aid local business but the eventual plan is to partner with regional counterparts. “We’ll offer state certifications,” said Bossio who plans to move forward acquiring grants and looking for investors. “But, they need to know that we are viable.” Basically Bossio is asking for start-up costs as they get the program in place. He sees it being sustainable after two years. “We’re at the point where we’re ready to move forward...build the model...we’d like an understanding that the county would be there for backup.” Stevensburg representative Bill Chase was supportive and urged Bossio to pursue available grants and thus reduce the need from the county. Frazier, also highly supportive of the initiative, reminded the board that none of the improvements planned for the Carver Center currently address the needs that this machine shop training facility might need. “No money has been spent so far,” said Frazier. “We’re at a crossroads,” said Bossio, “are we going to do something.” “If we get this started and it works... it will be something that we are do-

ing as a county looking to the future,” said Hansohn, “you’re asking for help to grow...a little bit of seed money.” Fincher approached the podium alongside Bossio. “This is a great opportunity for us to do something that many of the southern counties in Virginia are doing...training employees for the community.” “The CNC machine is a capital intensive system...you need good skilled machinists...we’re asking for your support.” “This is a great use for the building,” said county administrator John Egertson. “We agreed to put money into the building - $290,000 - may be more capital investment in the building needed.” “While not everyone may agree, I support this vocational program...we’re investing in people’s futures,” said Frazier. “I fully support this...great use for the building,” said West Fairfax representative Gary Deal. Before the vote, Jefferson representative Brad Rosenberger admitted to being “asleep at the wheel...hindsight is 20/20” recalling a time when the county had a strong vocational-technical program that fell by the wayside. “It was one of the biggest mistakes we made [as a board]..we never should have let that go.” Now, several decades later the board is in a position to walk a new path - perhaps a path walked before - to add a new educational directive. “We’re talking about the future of education,” said East Fairfax representative Steve Walker. “This is how career partners started...this is how Germanna’s technology center started..remember that Continental Teves brought their plant back to Culpeper from Mexico.” “We’ve tried to do something for 25 years utilizing existing systems...that hasn’t worked..let’s bring economy back...let’s do this ourselves.” “That’s the American way,” said a smiling Hansohn. The board ultimately approved by a 6-1 vote. Dissenting vote was from Chairman Alexa Fritz who, while fully supporting the initiative, was hesitant to commit taxpayer dollars.

BEHIND THE BADGE

Caruso embodies spirit of officer He started his career walking the streets of Culpeper stuffing parking tickets under windshield wipers. Not a glamourous job but at 19 the former Culpeper High School football team tackle was determined to find a position he could make into a career. Service in the military called, but he landed a job with the Culpeper Town Police, it was better than what he had -- so he gave it a try. “Six months into it I knew this is what I wanted to do,” Anthony Caruso said. He comes from a family with military service coursing throughout: his father served in the Navy, most of his uncles in the Army, a cousin served in the Army and another serves presently in the Navy. As a result Caruso already knew the rewards of public service—and he found those same rewards with the Culpeper Town Police. A year later the new officer met his future wife on the crosswalk in

Anthony Caruso

Culpeper Town Police Patrol Officer: Dayshift Age: 25 Married: one son Hobbies: fishing, hunting, Ohio State college football front of Farmington Elementary School as he was directing traffic. He was so smitten with her that the distracted Caruso stopped traffic in all four directions. She noticed the traffic backing up and cut the conversation -- but it was clear the young officer was interested in her. A chance meeting that eventually led to marriage and more recently to the birth of his son. Caruso was present for his birth, albeit reluctantly, but he says it was the “best experience of my life.” Besides accompanying his wife into a hospital birthing room, Caruso has had his share of heart pounding experiences.

He serves on the Culpeper SWAT team the purpose of which is to move into a dangerous environment at a moment’s notice. And then there was that one canoe trip he took as a teenager which led to a “mad dash” to safety as the swelling river rose to engulf his campsite. He pushed his way down the raging Rappahannock River through white laced rapids before finally pulling out at Mott’s Run-- and to safety. “It was one of the most dangerous situations I’ve been in,” he said. Now the officer seeks excitement hunting turkey and finds fulfillment at home and at the job. The Ohio native came to Virginia as a boy but he has found the home of his heart here in Culpeper in the forests, on the rivers and among the people. “I love this place,” he said. “Tony embodies what it is to be an officer with the Culpeper Police Department,” Town Police Chief

Discover a sanctuary within a sanctuary at Fauquier Springs Country Club By Anita Sherman STAFF WRITER

Heading onto Springs Road begins a journey through rolling pastoral farmland dotted with barns and homes, well maintained fences, horses grazing and depending on the time of day, sunshine that dances through tree branches and skies that are alive with cloud canvases. While winding, it’s a serene drive. Then the turn onto Tournament Drive into Fauquier Springs Country Club and the serenity and peaceful ambiance take on a sanctuary feel. Any pressures or stresses start to melt away as this 200-acre haven spreads before you. Pasture lands are now well manicured greens and the clubhouse sits stately and inviting exuding Southern hospitality, graciousness and charm. The ambiance of this place is not without history. During the 1800s Fauquier White Sulphur Springs was a sought after mineral water resort on the Rappahannock River.

The waters, known for their miraculous healing properties, drew Southern plantation owners, politicians and families. The ravages of the Civil War left much of it in ruins until 1877 when Governor Fitzhugh Lee made efforts to restore it as a resort. General manager Larry Spielberg talks of this place with reverence and awe. He not only lauds the design and challenges of the 18-hole, 71-par course but the breaktaking views that can be had from the Rappahannock River to the Blue Ridge Mountains. History has not lost its spell on Spielberg, a native Virginian, who hails from Falls Church. “I’ve always been around the sport...I love everything about golf,” says Spielberg musing about the ‘golfing gods’ and how they will quickly bring you back to life’s realities. Realizing that playing at the pro level was not going to be his cup of tee, Spielberg embraced golf management and hospitality which

would keep him in that environment which he’d grown to love and cherish. Working at Ford’s Colony Country Club in Williamsburg and then a move to Warrenton landing the job at Fauquier Springs has been a blessing for Spielberg. “I am so very fortunate to have this opportunity,” says Spielberg who enjoys the small town charm of Warrenton. “The people are so friendly and inviting.” While Fauquier Springs is a unique place, it’s the faces that Spielberg enjoys the most from the staff to the members. “We’ve assembled the best group here...our executive chef Tom Berry...the restaurant is one of the best in the Piedmont area.” Under the umbrella of the club, Legends Catering has been creating memorable events since 1991. While private clubs can have an aura of pretentiousness, Spielberg says the spirit at Fauquier Springs is not one of arm’s length. “You’re seeing the family you like every day,” smiles Spielberg, “I love com-

HOME & GARDEN Nature notes: Chestnut restoration, dog origins and more With the return of rain this weekend, I decided to spend some time inside catching up on the nature news that has been landing in my email inbox for the last couple of weeks. The stories that caught my eye were about chestnut restoration, the origin of domestic dogs and a mantis named for a justice of the Supreme Court, along with some nature walks in our area.

WILD IDEAS Pam Owen

Saving the American chestnut The May issue of “Broad Run Lifestyle Magazine” has an article about the efforts of the American Chestnut Foundation (acf.org) to restore the iconic American chestnut tree after a blight all but wiped out mature trees almost a century ago. Although the roots have some resistance to the blight, the blight causes cankers that girdle trunks and stems, keeping the tree from thriving

and reproducing in most cases. Restoration has focused on crossing the American tree with the blightresistant Chinese chestnuts to produce a hybrid that is only one-sixteenth of the latter. This extensive volunteer effort entails, among other activities, planting test stands of chestnuts and hand pollinating trees. The article features Hume lawyer and passionate volunteer conservationist Cathy Mayes, who is the president of the Virginia Chapter of TACF and has served on the boards of other nonprofit conservation organizations. From “Science” magazine “Science” (sciencemag.org) is one of the best known and most respected science journals. Fortunately, for those of us without a PhD in biology, on its website it also provides well-written translations of the often-arcane research papers published in the journal and elsewhere. The subjects of some of the articles recently have made their way into the popular media, especially those on the effects of cell-phone radiation on their users and the discovery of a bacterial “superbug.” But I found a couple of interesting

Llomantis ginsburgae, is a newly identified species of leaf-dwelling praying mantis named after US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. ones published online on June 3 that may have slipped under most people’s radar. Domesticating canines: It’s well documented that our canine pals descended from wolves, but where did the domestication occur and when? According to one of the articles (tinyurl.com/wi-dogdom), researchers studying dogs’ genes found that domestication occurred at different times and locations. To determine the origin of Canus familiarus, more than two dozen researchers generated genetic sequences from 59 ancient dogs and a complete genome of a late Neolithic dog from Ireland — the first study to be published that includes the genome of such an ancient dog. The genes of the dogs tested indicated that humans domesticated dogs in Asia more than 14,000 years ago, and that a small subset of these animals eventually migrated west through Eurasia,

“probably with people.” This implies that all modern dogs, as well as the Neolithic dog, can trace their ancestry back to Asia, according to the article. The European branch of the domestic canine’s family tree apparently hit a genetic dead end, and “has mostly vanished from today’s dogs.” Though not conclusive, the study’s findings “could resolve a rift that has roiled the canine origins community.” Insect taxonomy breaks the gender barrier: I was really intrigued by the title of the other “Science” article (tinyurl.com/wiginsburg): “Mantis named after Ruth Bader Ginsburg may usher in new way to classify insects.” Scientists have traditionally used the genitalia of male insects to classify their species because the males’ is “wider and more easily observed,” according to the article. ➤ See Wild, Page 9

Culpeper Times • June 9-15, 2016

➤ Wild, from Page 8 (I’m sure the fact that the system was mostly developed by male humans has nothing to do with this.) But now, finally, gender equality may have come to insect taxonomy. Referring to a study in the journal “Insect Systematics & Evolution,” the article says a new species of praying mantis has been identified, for the first time, on the basis of female genitalia. This leaf-dwelling mantis from Madagascar has been dubbed Ilomantis ginsburgae in honor of US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, “a strong supporter of gender equality and a regular wearer of jabot collars, which resemble the neck plate of the insect,” according to the article. “The scientists hope that this new identification will help make species classification easier by increasing the number of possible ways to differentiate bugs.” © 2016 Pam Owen Upcoming nature events “Get Your Kids Hiking” (June 18 and July 16, 11-noon): The National Park Service is celebrating its 100th birthday this year, and what better way to honor our parks than to introduce the next generation to the natural treasure at our doorsteps:. Shenandoah National Park. The park and the Shenandoah National Park Association host Jeff Alt, author of “Get Your Kids Hiking: How to Start Them Young and Keep It Fun” for a

Alt teams up with rangers to lead kids and accompanying adults on a short hike “loaded with handson family hiking tips and ways to explore the outdoors.” The program starts at the Byrd Visitor Center; the park entrance fee applies. For more information, go online to tinyurl.com/ wi-kidhike or call Tim Taglauer at 540-999-3500, ext. 3488. Shenandoah also offers daily ranger-led programs throughout the park through Sept. 6.

VIEWS One of those feel good moments FROM WHERE I SIT

For several years now, usually in June, I’ve attended an early morning kick-off breakfast meeting at Pepper’s Grill. Hosted by the Culpeper Fourth of July Festival Committee, it is a time to not only share cups of coffee and breakfast but to learn who will lead this year’s parade as Grand Marshal. A Spirit Award is also presented honoring an individual or individuals who have had a positive influence in building the town’s character and energy with forward thinking actions. . Not a huge crowd, it is an intimate gathering and you can tell that tables are filled with family and friends of the recipients as well as town officials and members of the police department. This year’s honorees are notably touching as they represent the many unsung heroes in a community. Heroes nonetheless as they have made a positive difference for many, many lives in countless ways mostly by giving so much of themselves. At the tender age of 7 or so, Chris Settle remembers being transferred to another classroom at Sycamore Park Elementary School. There he met his new teacher, Loudelia Lawson. That young boy, now Captain Chris Settle, remembers his experience with great fondness and gratitude. It was this teacher, and many like her, that helped mold who he is today and as he introduced his nominee for Grand Marshal, Settle recalled his days as a “squirrel” and gave examples of her influence in his life. Key words came to mind for Settle...words like respect, kindness, nurturing and team player. Chuckling, Settle quickly analyzed the math...so many students in each class...so many years...and figured that Mrs. Lawson had easily made a difference in thousands of children’s lives and that of their parents. “Many of her students are now police officers, doctors, nurses, firefighters and businessmen,” said Settle. “That must be very gratifying to see.” “Okay, so I write like a girl,” laughed Settle but remembering with acute clarity his lessons in cursive writing learned with Mrs. Lawson and a skill that he is proud to have mastered.

Anita L. Sherman

Loudelia Lawson hails from Durham, North Carolina. Her first teaching job was in Culpeper County in 1965 at A.G. Richardson Elementary...at that time a segregated school. Later she would be transferred to Sycamore Park Elementary School... then integrated. “I can’t fathom what that must have been like,” said Settle. “She’s a very special lady.” Mrs. Lawson retired in 2015 having served in the Culpeper County Public School System for 50 years, 46 of those at Sycamore Park. Clearly pleased and humbled by the recognition, Mrs. Lawson accepted the honor with quiet dignity. She smiled recalling that first year in an integrated school. “I’ll admit that I was nervous,” she said, “and I could tell that the parents bringing their children to my classroom were disappointed when they saw me.” But that apprehension turned to appreciation by the end of the school year. “They had changed,” said Lawson, “they thanked me, hugged me... happy with all that their children had learned.” “I have enjoyed every day of teaching here,” said a sincere Lawson. “People here accepted me with open arms...I hope to be a great Grand Marshal.” Lawson’s behind the scenes dedication to the children of Culpeper County, her caring, her compassion and her commitment have left a legacy that Settle felt more than worthy of this honor. “Elementary educators are so important...they set the tone for the rest of your educational experience,” said Settle, “they deserve recognition.” It so happened that I shared a table with this year’s selection for the Spirit Award Mason Hutcherson. Erick Kalenga did the honors of introducing him. Erick has been involved in a variety of ways with the work of the festival committee for many years and expressed his honor that he was able to introduce this year’s recipient, a man whom he has known for more than 10 years. “I knew from the first time that I met this man that he was a Godly man,” said Kalenga. “He was beyond welcoming to me.” Kalenga had a long list of Mason’s contributions to the community spanning back to his work with 4-H programs and continuing forward when Hutcherson was named a Culpeper Colonel in 1997 and

before that in the late 70s receiving the Culpeper Chamber’s highest award - the L.B. Henretty Memorial Outstanding Citizen of the Year. Involved with summer Bible camps and Christian education programs and initiatives, Kalenga emphasized Mason’s continual giving qualities and serene nature which affects everyone he meets in a positive and refreshing way. Known to many in the community for his flourishing nursery, which is now run by a grandson, bouquets of flowers have been known to show up unexpectedly and always appreciated. In addition, he has helped nurture the flower beds in town. “He embodies the spirit of Culpeper,” noted Kalenga, “for his gentleness, kindness and uplifting attitude...he makes your problems better.” Soft spoken yet emanating quiet strength, Hutcherson’s spirituality has had a powerful impact on Kalenga and many who have the honor of meeting him.

“I look up to him as a spiritual giant, a mentor and a father figure,” said Kalenga. “I am tremendously surprised,” said a smiling Hutcherson on accepting the award. With nearly 60 years living in Culpeper, Hutcherson praised the people he’s come to know in the community and immediately sent out his congratulations to Loudelia Lawson. “We’ve both seen people grow up... there are some of the finest here.” “Thank you for this privilege, God’s best and enjoy your summertimes,” said a happy and equally humbled Hutcherson. With the meeting adjourned, folks remained to mingle, exchange hugs and share memories. It’s these kinds of moments when good people are celebrated by equally good folks that you know despite other challenges that our connections are stronger than our differences. It’s these kinds of moments when joy seizes your heart and soul and you know that all is right with the world.

Windmore’s StageWorks Theater Program performs Salt and Pepper StageWorks, a theater program of Windmore Foundation for the Arts, will present the play, Salt and Pepper, by Robert Benjamin, a physicist and playwright. The director is Johncie Flannagan Carlson, who has been a community theater veteran both on and off stage for over 45 years. Carlson directs a talented cast with varied theater experiences that include both professional and community theater actors. The cast members are: Donna Chabot, Robert Kieffer, Jeff Walker, Dawn Klemann, Tammy Barboza, H. B. Strecker, Lou Torres, Sandra Bennett, John Gentile, Pennie Patterson, and Mike Dillon. The play is sprinkled with some tender words of William Shakespeare, Andrew Marvell, and Robert Browning. It is part of life that most human beings will, as a consequence of the aging process, have to deal with life-changing events, both great and small. The author, Benjamin, addresses several types of these most profound changes and events in a play that balances seriousness with humor, anger with understanding, and hopelessness with hope. The play is comprised of eight separate scenes that are loosely interconnected. The scene, “Resting Places,” presents the subject of the “invisibility,” of a wise woman on the periphery of society. In “Warm Ashes,” a couple

meets in a bed and breakfast at a Shakespeare festival and humorous consequences occur. “Forever,” depicts a woman taking control of her fate in a touching, positive way, before the end of her life. “Robert Benjamin did such a lovely job of writing scenes with heart and humor. The familiarity of the situations speaks to all of us in one way or another,” director Johncie Carlson said. Even though the script deals with events in our lives that are in many ways profoundly personal, the audience, in cheering on these very human and likable characters, will find comfort in realizing that we are not alone, and that the play has a universality for all human beings. Director Johncie Carlson looks forward to the heartfelt connections that will be made between the cast and the audience through playwright Robert Benjamin’s words. She remarks that “My wish is that through our production, the audience and cast are

reminded that we each travel a slightly different path to the same destination. We all have the capacity to offer patience, companionship, tolerance, and love to our fellow travelers. And if we are wise, we will look to the wisdom of those who are farther along on the journey. Salt and Pepper is not only the color of our hair; it is the seasoning that makes life more memorable.” Visit www.windmorefoundation.org or call 540-547-4333. Arts programs and events are offered year round. Engage with Windmore on Facebook and Twitter. Laurel Van Horn is the stage manager for Salt and Pepper and has lived in Culpeper for about 34 years.

REMEMBER, CELEBRATE AND FIGHT: Saturday was Relay for Life, the annual event to raise awareness, raise funds and honor victims of cancer, and while rain may have dampened the track at Eastern View High School, it didn’t take away from the energy and spirit of the participants. This year's Culpeper event had 53 teams with 606 registered participants and has raised more than $183,000 to date. This year's survivor guest speaker was Cody Douglas and caregiver was his mother, Cameron Douglas. Following speeches, approximately 140 survivors took the first lap around the track.

FOOTBALL FUN: Footballs flying, kids running races, sheriff’s deputies out of uniform -- it was organized chaos on the field at Eastern View High School as the Sheriff’s fifth annual sports camps jump started June 7. More than 100 would-be footballers signed up for football camp, which started under blue skies and sunny temperatures. The camp runs through this Thursday, with a scheduled rain day on Friday in case of inclement weather. Two more camps are scheduled: baseball and softball in one camp, and soccer in the other - see http://www.culpepersheriffsoffice.com/…/youthsportscamps.ht...for details on these events. Sheriff Jenkins began the summer youth sports camps five years ago at the begining of his first term in office. The camps are funded by private donations and manned by deputies who volunteer to help.

What’s in a Name? THE WINE NERD

It’s easy to get lost in the wine Jim Hollingshead aisle. My wife claims that I spend an hour looking at bottles, though I’m pretty sure it’s only 5 minutes. (She’s always right, of course.) For most consumers, picking a wine when all you’ve got are labels can be pretty hard. The name of the wine and the design of the label might intrigue you, but how can you tell if you’ll like what’s inside? Here are a few tricks of the trade that those of us in the industry use! First: Always ask. There’s usually a staff member that can help you find a wine that you’ll love. If you’re stranded in the grocery store or in the Culpeper Cheese Company while I’m not there (I’m probably fooling around at a vineyard), then the rest of this advice will come in handy. Where’s it from? You might stick to lush, juicy reds from Sonoma, or love the earthy minerality of the Rhone Valley. If you notice that you always like Malbec if it’s from Cahors, France, then you’ve got an easy choice to make. Many bottles don’t list the grapes inside, but much of the world specializes in certain varietals. Red Burgundy is always Pinot Noir, White Bordeaux is dominated by Sauvignon Blanc. Once you get an idea of where you tend to like your wine to come from, that big selection gets a lot easier. ABV, or alcohol by volume. The higher the percentage of alcohol, the heavier and richer the wine will tend to be. Whites will usually range from 11 to 13%, and reds from 12 to 15%. This is one of the biggest factors in how well a wine will age, as alcohol acts as a natural preservative. Your heavy-duty Malbec or Zinfandel will feel ‘hot’ going down, while your softer Gamay or a light Merlot will be gentle and delicate. Domaine Grange de Payan, Cotes du Rhone 2014 ($10) Here’s an easy one. Cotes du Rhone is usually a blend of Grenache, Syrah, and a bit of Mourvedre. (In the Americas, a Rhonestyled blend is called a ‘GSM.’) You know there will probably be some richer, earthy tones. The ABV is only 13%, howeverthat tells you that it’s lighter, with more Grenache than Syrah. You can reasonably deduce that the wine has a gentler, red fruit profile with some softer spice behind it.

years to age and soften in the bottle. Thus you can estimate that the wine will be a balance of elegant and acidic red fruits and some more murky, rich spice. Overall, it’s best to ask for help when you can. If none is available, however, you can make some educated guesses at the contents of a bottle. The label, in its

Balletto, Pinot Noir, Russian River Valley 2012 ($34.95) This may have a bit more information on the label, but still takes a bit of attention to decode. The Russian river Valley in California is most famous for its Pinot Noir. You can already guess that it will be more lush, fruity, and rich than a Pinot from Oregon or Burgundy. If you look at the ABV, however, you’ll see that it’s 14.2%. This tells you that it is more full-bodied than most Pinot Noir, and might even have a bit of Syrah blended into it, which many wineries in the area sometimes do. Avoid this if you’re looking for a light, lean red. If, however, you want to balance the tastes of a Pinot lover and a Cabernet addict, then this wine should make everyone happy!

own way, tells a story. And my wife wonders how I take so long in a wine shop... Jim Hollingshead is The Wine Nerd at the Culpeper Cheese Company, and occasionally pretends to have other interests. You can reach him at 540-8274757 or jim@culpepercheese.com.

Therra Podernuovo, Tuscany 2010 ($29.95) This is a harder one. All you’ve got is that it’s red, it’s from 2010 in Tuscany, and the ABV is 13.5%. There are probably some Italians somewhere laughing at the thought of Americans trying to figure out what’s in this bottle. You can tell that it’s probably a blend of Sangiovese and something heavier, like Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot, due to the fact that it is Tuscan. The lower ABV leads you to believe that it won’t be too heavy, and probably has plenty of Merlot. It’s had some

Live Arts hosts 'Dreamgirls' Live Arts, Charlottesville’s gutsy little community theatre, celebrates its first 25 years of operation with a show that defines just how fearless they are. “Dreamgirls”, the Tony and Grammy winning hit of the ‘80s, is overflowing the main stage and packing the house. This is a show best served by larger, wellheeled venues, but the all-volunteer cast and crew of Live Arts have pulled some serious magic out of their hat. Yes, it has its weaknesses, but under the direction of Julie Hamberg, the keys to making it work are in place. Some musicals that hark to a specific era survive (if at all) after their initial offering in a half life of nostalgia and camp. This is where I get to put “Pajama Game” and “Hair” in the same sentence. Others hold on to their roots with a conceptual core that keeps them fresh. Such things as compelling story and conflict, universal themes, and sympathetic characters are common to the classics. Drawing on the girl group phenomenon of the late ‘50s and ‘60s (The Supremes, The Ronettes, The Shirelles, etc.) “Dreamgirls” begins with three young black women entering a contest at the Apollo Theatre and believing that fame awaits them backstage. Well, it does - but so does a talent hustler named Curtis Taylor who can smell the opportunity in naïve dreams, and with him awaits the hothouse world of payola, ego trips, manipulation, and love at a price. Taylor’s vision of taking the “black” sounds of R & B into the “white” music charts drives the future of the group, and they evolve from The Dreamettes into Deena Jones and the Dreams. Implosions, break-ups, and meltdowns follow. Israel Vaughan as Curtis walks a fine and complicated line. Attractive and repellent, a huckster and a charmer – he’s the puppet master until his “puppets” finally cut their own strings. His duet with Deena (Darkita Brown) “You are My Dream” shows him at his seductive best. One of the great, multi-colored characters of this show is Jimmy “Thunder” Early, the send-up of James Brown and Smokey Robinson with an extra helping of outrageousness and attitude. Winston Smith II is impossible not to watch whether he’s coming on to the adorable Lorrell (Deandra Irving) or dropping his pants in a Las Vegas show. There’s something almost heroic in his exit with the self-inflicted career wounds that deprived him of his manager, his lover, and his

audience. Anyone who knows this show wants to know one thing: Is Effie up to it? For all the high energy and colliding ambitions that lift it, the electrical generator at its center is Effie White. She’s the not-aspretty member of the group with the thousand mega-watt voice who gets passed over when her sister, Deena, becomes the star. Effie’s diva streak emerges early when she refuses to sing back-up, and at one critical juncture, it proves her undoing. And yes, Kim Riley is definitely up to the task. Her presence is like a jolt, and the rendering of Effie’s soul-bending anthem “And I Am Telling You I’m Not Going” will raise the hair on your arms. It’s a stunning performance and worth the admission all by itself. Additional shout-outs to Lewis Warren for his fine performance as Marty, Toney Thomas as songwriter/ brother “CC” White, and Valencia Harvey as the “new” dream, Michelle. There is some strong ensemble

work going on, notably in “Steppin’ To The Bad Side” and “Chicago,” but a few weaknesses also appeared. Ike Anderson’s steaming choreography is well within the range of this cast, but the basic flaw of not being “together” showed up several times. This was most noticeable when The Dreams performed and the two ladies doing back-up seemed to perform individual interpretations of the same moves. Sound was also an occasional problem. With a live piano, sax, and drums to the side, it’s important to keep a balance between music and voices. This was usually achieved, but in scenes where fast talking was added, it was often difficult to understand what was being said. “Dreamgirls” is a complicated piece even for professional theatres, so Hilary Landowski’s scene design can be greeted with equanimity. The show takes us from one theatre to another, to dressing rooms, TV studio, recording studios, etc., but the set remains pretty much the same, but for two turning backdrops with

unspecific designs. This is where some astute costuming choices could have defined not only place, but where the Dreams were in their career arc. Most designs, however, remained safely in the “early ‘60s street dress” mode. If nothing else, the Las Vegas tour would have been better served with some serious glitter. These are sidebar notes on a show that really requires just two things: actors who know what their characters want, and the voices and acting chops to get it across. This show has that. “And I am telling you” – see it before it closes on the 11th. Maggie Lawrence is a member of the American Theatre Critics Association. She is a retired English and drama teacher.

Higher prices at the gas pump are a fact of life today. Some commuters share rides to manage the costs; others take public transportation. But if you are like countless other consumers, you depend on your personal vehicle to get you from Point A to Point B. So the experts at the nonprofit National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) have assembled some easy-to-follow tips from on how to conserve fuel and make sure your car or truck gets optimal miles per gallon. l Monitor the health of your tires. Under-inflated tires or poorly aligned wheels waste fuel by forcing xxx the engine to work harder. l Remove excess weight. Remove unnecessary items Courtesy of ASE from the vehicle. Less weight equals better mileage. l Consolidate trips and errands. Also, try to plan those trips to times when traffic is light so you can avoid stopand-go conditions. l Keep your engine "tuned up." Replace filters and fluids as recommended in your owner’s manual; have engine Culpeper: 540-727-8034 Orange: 540-661-1300 performance problems (rough idling, poor acceleration, Truck Services: 540-829-4999 increased fuel use, etc.) corrected. Given today's high-tech engines, it's wise to have this type of work done by automobile technicians who are ASE-certified in engine performance. l Use windows and air conditioning (A/C) wisely. Keep windows up when driving at highway speeds to reduce air drag. This is true even with the A/C on. But turn off the A/C in stop-and-go traffic to save fuel. l Avoid excessive idling. Shut off the engine while waiting for friends and family. l Observe speed limits. Speeding decreases your miles per gallon. l Drive gently. Sudden accelerations will guzzle gas. Anticipate the traffic patterns ahead, and adjust your speed gradually.
