Salute to our Veterans Vietnam War Museum – Open House Tucked away in the town of Ruckersville, Virginia next to an Alpaca Farm is a little known museum that is a must see area destination. Located at 6265 Spring Hill Road, this private museum is run by The Vietnam War Foundation (a public educational 501 (C) (3) foundation) and only open by appointment and a few other times a year for special Open House events. The Foundation was established to honor the 2,709,918 Americans who served in uniform during the official Vietnam Era from August 5th, 1964 to May 7th, 1975. On Sunday, July 3rd, Cruisin For Heroes (www.cruisinforheroes. com) has arranged an Open House from noon to 4 p.m. and everyone is invited to attend and witness “The Vietnam Experience” presented by the Foundation. The gravel road entrance with an American Flag and small sign is barely noticeable and can easily be mistaken for a private driveway in this residential neighborhood. Then as you drive down the mean-
dering road into an open field, off in the distance the sighting of the museum building, an O2 Forward Air Controller Aircraft and Huey helicopter both of which actually flew in Vietnam welcomes you into a historic time in American history. From basic training to the perils of the war, The Foundation has attempted to reflect the “Vietnam Experience” by providing a collection of items gathered over many years and many trips to Vietnam by the curator and founder of the museum, Craig LaMountain. The collection is poignantly displayed in settings developed and created by the members of the foundation. It will afford Veterans the opportunity to revisit their assignment to Vietnam and to be proud of their service. Cruisin For Heroes will also be providing their special vehicle display at the museum along with a group from a local chapter of Rolling Thunder. In addition, they will be having a Cruise/Caravan from two area loca-
tions to the museum which is available for anyone who would like to go to the museum with the Cruisin For Heroes group. One group will start from Stafford leaving at 9:45 a.m. from the Sheetz Gas Station on Rt. 610 across from the Mt. Ararat Baptist Church and cruise/caravan to Culpeper. The second group will meet in Culpeper at the Southern States Gas Station on Route 29 by the entrance to the Culpeper airport (13655 Beverly Ford road) at 10:15 a.m. and both groups will then leave for the museum at 10:45 a.m. sharp. At the museum, display vehicles will be parking in a designated area and all other vehicles will be parking in the visitor’s parking lot. The museum is simply beyond belief and the staff is more than
gracious about making your visit a time to remember. It may bring a tear to a veteran’s eye, bring back memories for the generation of that time, educate the generation that hasn’t been taught about the war in school and it is guaranteed to amaze everyone. This is a great and rare opportunity to visit a unique private museum and both adults and children will benefit by the experience. Don’t miss it. Should you want any additional information you may contact Lou Realmuto at Cruisin For Heroes (cruiserlou@aol.com). The Culpeper Times has featured dozens of veterans since starting our Salute to Veterans page. In this issue we thank R.E. Deane, George Johnson and Charles Yager for their service.
The Culpeper Times will feature Salute to Our Veterans once a month. If you know of a particular veteran program or event that you’d like to see listed, let us know.

Culpeper Times • June 16-22, 2016 PARKS AND REC
Culpeper County Parks and Rec receives grant The PATH Foundation (formerly the Fauquier Health Foundation) announced that it has awarded a Make It Happen! grant to the Culpeper County Parks and Recreation Department to create an 18-hole disc golf course at Spilman Park. The park is located on Colvin Road off of Route 229, in the Amissville/Jeffersonton area. The parks and recreation department has partnered with the Mountain Run Disc Golf Club to provide residents of northern Culpeper, Fauquier and Rappahannock counties an opportunity to play disc golf—a noncontact, low-impact, healthy lifetime sport for all ages. The course will be constructed with assistance from MRDGC members and maintained by both MRDGC and the parks department. The offering of disc golf will be unlike anything available within the region. “We are delighted to be able to provide some of the funding for this worthwhile project that will provide area residents an opportunity for additional outdoor activity and exercise,” stated Christy Connolly president and CEO of the PATH Foundation. According to the MRDGC, disc golf has grown by more than 200% over the past six years and typically burns around 900 calories per game. Given the fact that it is of interest to all ages, it also succeeds in getting kids off the couch and away from video games and outside to recreate, and it provides substantial exercise for seniors. Adding the disc golf course to Spilman Park will also revitalize the park and get more of the community out to appreciate the park’s beauty and natural setting. The project is expected to be completed by November. “Spilman Park is an ideal facility to install an activity such as disc golf," said John Barrett, Culpeper County Parks and Recreation director. "The lay of the land provides passive and active opportunities that will challenge the beginner to experienced player, individually, family or in groups. Receiving the PATH Foundation Make it Happen grant offers residents a quality of life opportunity to keep healthy while enjoying the outdoors." Make it Happen! grants were created to energize the speed and creativity of engaged citizens working with non-profits to accomplish small-scale, high-impact, quick-turnaround projects. The program provides funding of $2,000 to $10,000 for ideas that can be turned around in 90 days or less, and $10,000 to $25,000 for ideas that can be turned around in six months.

RICH CROWLEY’S SNAPSHOT OF CULPEPER

COUNTY CORNER
New committees At the June meeting of the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors, members approved by a vote of 6-1 a proposal to create a machine shop training facility at the Carver Center. Proposed by New Pathways LLC, a non-profit group organized by former county administrator Frank Bossio, the facility will bring back vocational education training to the county in a major way starting with sophisticated technology like the CNC machines that are used at Precision Machine Works in Culpeper. In addition to the supervisor’s approval of this new initiative, they unanimously approved the creation of two new committees. Youth Advisory Committee West Fairfax representative Gary Deal proposed a Youth Advisory Committee. “We need to listen to the youth in our community,” said Deal suggesting that the county eventually hold a Youth Fest where issues like substance abuse would be discussed in addition to issues like recreational needs and jobs for youth. All agreed that this was a good idea. Patterned after a similar program in Loudoun County, membership on the committee would include supervisor members as well as members from the school board, town council, private sector and most importantly young people.
Glass cut to fit

Sometimes I have to dig deep to find my "snapshot." This week I went past the receptionist and back into the workshop of Mike's Glass and Mirror to find Chad Buracker hard at work cutting glass. Chad has worked at this shop for a total of 14 years, although not all at once. Mike has been operating this company since the 80s. They must do a great job because they are still here and thriving providing glass needs for autos, commercial and residential businesses. Need a glass table top? You can reach them at 540-825-2626. ➤ Check out Rich’s blog at facesofculpeperva.blogspot.com and Faces of Culpeper on Facebook
Career and Technical Education Committee Following in a similar vein, county administrator John Egertson, in discussions with Culpeper County Superintendent Dr. Brads, proposed the creation of a career and technical education committee. Through the work of this committee, members would address questions like, “What should curriculum be? What are the interests of students moving forward? Where would we house? Membership would pull from the board of supervisors and school board as well as private industry. All approved the creation of this committee. Cedar Mountain representative Jack Frazier and Catalpa representative Sue Hansohn were appointed and agreed to serve from the board of supervisors. Egertson said that Michelle North and Elizabeth Hutchins were appointed and agreed to serve as representatives from the county’s school board. Personnel Committee update While the county has not voted to create pretrial services, work has started to move in that direction. At their June meeting, the board approved CJS (Criminal Justice Services) pretrial position descriptions as well as CJS rules of conduct regarding the duty to maintain professional relationships.

Rupard, Breeden, Dove, Rimmer and Strickland families, that’s a lot of blessings. Out of 107 racers in the 14th annual Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby, nine come from the combined families. It’s a group that started with just two drivers - Dakota Breeden and Taylor Rupard - nine years ago and has grown to encompass an entire camp. For Missy Breeden, it’s the definition of family, support and the cliche “it takes a village.” A single mother along with her sister-in-law Arline Rupard - the pair are often seen in the pits at the derby working with their children in an effort to bond, learn and win. With a cast that includes Taylor Rupard, Tony and Joey Kratchovil, Dakota and Mason Breeden, Will Dove, Luke and Caleb Rimmer and Lulu Strickland the chances for winning rise. Especially in the Master’s Division where Tony, Dakota, Mason and Taylor make up half the field. With seven cousins and two family friends, the garage is often full of laughter when the crew all gets together. “We take them all in,” Missy said with a laugh. ➤ See Family, Page 5

Culpeper Times • June 16-22, 2016
➤ Family, from Page 4 “I think it’s because they’ve always got to go, they always have to be fast.” When her children Taylor and Tony started racing years ago, Arline Rupard never imagined how intrical the Soap Box Derby would become to her life and family. The derby has brought them closer together and brought in family friends like the Rimmer boys, and they’ve all grown closer together. “The biggest thing is with the derby, they have become a part of our family,” Arline said. “It’s not just the kids, it’s everyone who helps volunteer. It’s like we have this second family that is huge now. They make sure the kids are doing what they’re supposed to. The kids have grown so much, they’ve learned it’s not just about winning but it’s about family.” Started locally by the Troilo family in 2003, the derby was founded on the values of family. For Race Director Frankie Gilmore - quite arguably the matriarch of it all - the mission of the derby is to strengthen the family bonds that already exist. When she looks at the nine racer crew working together and helping other drivers, it hammers home that belief. “It’s unbelievably amazing,” Gilmore said. “At the derby track there’s so many folks that blend those values and that character building foundation. These drivers don’t just have their immediate family, they have all of us.” That support group grows every year as new drivers come into the fold. Teaching them the tricks of the trade, giving them moral support and keeping them calm is something that Taylor Rupard treasures. Recently graduated from Orange County High School, Rupard hopes to race until she’s 21 and continue to do what she loves - helping others. “I feel like it has helped us grow into better people,” Taylor said. “I feel when I’m just sitting around and not doing anything, I get lazy and grumpy. But by having them putting us into this, it has made me a better person because I get to help
people. It’s hard to put into words.” Keeping them occupied For Missy, it’s also helped her boys Mason and Will with their Attention Deficit Disorder. Both boys admitted that when they’re sitting they find it hard to focus. Their minds race, they struggle to keep on task. With the derby, there’s always something to keep them occupied. Missy believes that all families that have children that battle ADD and ADHD would benefit from participating in the derby. For Mason, it’s the fact that there’s always something to keep his hands busy has helped immensely. “Since we’ve got to bond with the family and it’s calmed me down and it’s really soothing,” Mason said. “I can’t sit in one spot without doing something, it really keeps me occupied.” It’s not just about their immediate family. The Breeden/Kratchovil crew always sets their tents up straight across from the finish line. The tents are filled with parents, grandparents, kids and family friends and they’re the loudest at the race. As Missy points out, they cheer for everyone because at the derby - everyone is like family. “We want them to hear us cheer,” Missy said. “We get pretty loud. It’s not just our kids, it’s everybody’s kids.” For the Kratchovil’s grandfather Joe, the derby has become one of his favorite events in Culpeper over the years. “It’s a great program for the youth to be involved because it’s a worthwhile cause,” he said. “They get a big charge out of it and we do too. It’s a lot of fun.” As race day went on Sunday, the nine-member racing crew roamed around
hugging friends, giving encouraging words and adding helpful hints just before racers would go down the hill. Missy beamed with pride as her family brought in new members. It’s just another blessing to her. “This right here (the derby) is family and has showed us how to be stronger as a family,” Missy said. ““They have their sibling and cousin rivalries, but in the long run family is family and they have each other’s backs. We all look out for one another here. If one of us goes to Akron, we all go to Akron.” They’re going to Akron “I’m going to Akron,” Tony Kratchovil said a week before the race during final inspection. “Yeah, because I’m going to win,” Joey Kratchovil shot back. That statement by Joey proved to be prophetic. He won the Stock Division against runner-up Mason Harris Sunday. “I just felt that I could go and my car was fast,” Joey said. “I just listened to Aaron Rohrbaugh’s advice and he just said go to the top of the hill and do it.” For Harris, racing in the Brown Harris car, it was the fourth time the car has finished second in the race. It looked like Harris would pull out a win as he defeated Joey in the first race between each other, forcing another. In the A phase portion Harris pulled ahead by .059 seconds but on the final run Joey overcame the deficit and jumped into the arms of his sister Taylor. “She just helped me out a lot, because she was the main one that stayed at the bottom of the track to greet me,” Joey said. And she’s one of the ones that will be joining him in Akron.

Haun, Smythers, Miller big winners at derby By Jeff Say
TIMES STAFF WRITER
“What did you do, what did you do,” Cookie Smythers screamed in joy as her son Griffin came off the track at Paul Bates Raceway Sunday. What Griffin did was punch a ticket to Akron to race in the Super Stock division at the All-American Soap Box Derby later this month. Joining him in Akron will be stock division winner Joey Kratchovil (story on page 4), masters division winner Zach Miller and Super Kids winner Jordan Haun. For Smythers, Sunday’s win was a culmination of a mad dash through the consolation bracket. Facing Luke Morris, who was undefeated on Saturday, Smythers came through with two wins against him. First he defeated him to force the championship race and then sealed it with a scorching run in the first phase of the race. “I love all my family here, all my Soap Box family, it’s just a great experience to be here,” Griffin said. “It’s not about winning, it’s about friendship, it’s about family. It’s about having fun out here.”
A 13-year-old eighth grader at Culpeper Middle School, he got into the derby three years ago thanks to his uncle H.B. Chapman. “I’m over the moon excited for him,” Cookie Smythers said. “He’s such a good kid, he’s worked so hard for this.” When Grffin was 2, he went to Akron when his cousin Hunter Chapman won the local race. He admits he doesn’t remember anything about that race, but is ready to make his own memory at the AllAmerican Soap Box Derby on July 16. Masters Division Already guaranteed a spot in Akron thanks to rally points, Zachary Miller just wanted the chance to represent his local derby. He got it with a fast run down the hill Sunday, defeating Gabby Beville in the Masters Division. “It’s making me so happy,” Zach Miller said. “I like being a local champion.” A soft-spoken young man, Zach wanted to match his brother Tyler by winning the Masters race.

Want a comfortable home? Blossman connects propane (and more) with people By Anita Sherman STAFF WRITER
Getting ready to grill? Need a new water heater? Ready to replace your propane tanks? There’s a lot of competition in the propane world but once you start looking around, the field narrows. In business since the early 50s, Blossman Gas started with a handful of employees under the leadership of its founder, Woodrow Blossman, with a firm belief that customers come first and it was the company’s mission to exceed those customer’s expectations in terms of product and service. Now employing more than 800 employees nationwide with nearly 70 stores servicing the Southeast, it remains a private, family and employee owned business maintaining that time honored tradition. Focused more on business practice than product, Blossman continues to provide a level of service
that is more like having an extended family when it comes to propane use and affiliated products. It’s all about the customer. Located in Gordonsville and serving roughly a 40-mile radius from that location, Blossman employees Patrick Kelliher and Lukas Glass combine decades of experience and skill. They’ve also got very likable personalities. Combining professionalism and top notch people skills is a key asset with this company. Once you meet them, you’ll feel like they are good neighbors down the street. With sales and business development expertise, Glass smiles as he talks about the level of service that comes with the purchase of one of their many appliances. “Not every place provides service, we do,” says Glass noting that one of the beauties of propane is that it is domestically produced. “There is no foreign reliance on this form of energy.” One hundred percent of propane used in America is made in the

There are a myriad of uses for propane throughout the home from water heaters, to washers and dryers, cooktops and ranges, generators, outdoor cooking and heating and fireplace logs. At Blossman, a personal visit by one of their representatives will ensure that you are getting the utmost service for your particular needs. “We get thank you letters from
people all the time,” says Kelliher. “Propane is a clean burning product...I enjoy making things better for the people we serve.” More than just selling products or bringing propane into your home, Glass and Kelliher enjoy educating the public about propane, its versatility and efficiency and mainly how comfortable your home will be using propane as an energy source. “We’re here to help and keep our customers happy.”

HOME & GARDEN Disease carrying mosquitoes love standing water Staff Report Dr. Wade Kartchner, Director of the Rappahannock/Rapidan Health District, recently gave a presentation to the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors about the Zika virus. As of Thursday, June 9, 2016, the Virginia Department of Health has reported 25 cases of Zika virus disease in Virginia residents to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) (3 in Northwest Region, 14 in Northern Region, 1 in Eastern Region, 5 in Central Region and 2 in Southwest Region). Kartchner shared some of the following information about the Zika virus and advice on how pregnant women can protect themselves. What is Zika virus infection? Zika virus infection is a viral disease primarily spread to people through bites of infected mosquitoes, but sexual transmission has also been documented. Mosquitoes become infected by feeding on infected persons. Zika virus is trans-
mitted primarily by Aedes aegypti (Yellow fever mosquito). Aedes albopictus (Asian tiger mosquito) can also spread the virus. What are the symptoms of Zika virus infections? About 80 percent of people who are infected do not become sick. For the 20 percent who do become sick, the most common symptoms include fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis (red eyes). The illness is usually mild and the symptoms typically last several days to a week. What special precautions should pregnant women take? The role of Zika virus infections during pregnancy is being studied. Out of an abundance of caution, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) advises that pregnant women avoid traveling to countries with ongoing Zika virus infections. If pregnant women need to travel to a country with Zika virus, it is recommended they take the fol-

The Zika virus is spread through the bite of Aedes Aegypti (Yellow Fever Mosquito). Avoid areas with standing water, like the dish under flower pots, or an empty tire. These are areas where they like to breed. lowing steps to avoid mosquito bites: Choose an EPA-registered insect repellant and use according to the product label. Use the repellent day and night because the mosquito species that
transmit Zika virus are daytime biters that will also enter buildings and bite at night Use permethrin-treated clothing Cover exposed skin by wearing long sleeves, pants, and hats.

➤ Derby, from Page 6 For his dad Bill, it was a sense of relief as Zach had to make up quite a bit of time in the B phase of the race against Beville. “I was a little worried because it was the biggest number of the day and it was a tough number to overcome,” Bill Miller said. Zach overcame it and then ferociously hugged his mother and father as he celebrated. “He thanked me and he was excited,” Bill Miller said. Zach Miller
Super Kids It was third time’s a charm for Jordan Haun Sunday. The Super Kids racer, along with Beville, defeated Alex Procino in the finals to win the always emotional race. For his mother Denise, it was something she had hoped for but never truly expected. “It means everything, I’m just a loss at words,” Denise Haun said. “Without things like this he might not be able to participate. Granted it’s a mild case of disability (Cerebral Palsy and Attention Deficit Disorder), but the fact that it does affect his legs, the fact to have somebody help with his driving is everything.” Haun’s win propels him to Akron, where his mother is looking forward to meet with other Super Kid families. “We can also meet other kids and talk to them,” Haun said. “He’s overcome so much and I’m

which when combined, are deadly.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF COLUMBIA GAS OF VIRGINIA, INC.’S APPLICATION FOR AUTHORITY TO INCREASE RATES AND CHARGES AND TO REVISE THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO GAS SERVICE CASE NO. PUE-2016-00033 On April 29, 2016, Columbia Gas of Virginia, Inc. (“Columbia” or “Company”), filed with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) an application pursuant to Chapter 10 of Title 56 (§ 56-232 et seq.) of the Code of Virginia (“Code”) requesting authority to increase its rates and charges, effective for the first billing unit of October 2016, and to revise other terms and conditions applicable to its gas service (“Application”). Columbia’s Application advises that the proposed rates and charges are designed to increase the Company’s annual non-gas base revenues by approximately $37 million per year, which includes $7 million currently being collected by the Company outside of base rates in a surcharge associated with its Steps to Advance Virginia’s Energy plan (“SAVE Plan”) pursuant to § 56-603 et seq. (“SAVE Act”). Columbia states the requested increase in annual non-gas base revenues reflects its costs and revenues for the test year ending December 31, 2015, the increase in the Company’s rate base since its last base rate increase in 2014 (“2014 Rate Case”), an updated capital structure and requested return on equity of 11.25%, and certain rate year adjustments that “reasonably can be predicted to occur” during the 12 months ending September 30, 2017 (“Rate Year”), as permitted by § 56-235.2 of the Code. According to the Application, in the time since Columbia was last authorized to increase its rates and charges in the 2014 Rate Case, Columbia has continued to make significant capital investments to improve the overall safety, reliability, and integrity of its natural gas system. Columbia further states it will have incurred $160 million in capital costs to improve the safety and reliability of its system from January 1, 2015, through the end of 2016, and anticipates that it will invest $76 million in capital improvements during the Rate Year. Columbia states a significant portion of the Company’s capital investment subsequent to the 2014 Rate Case has occurred under its SAVE Plan, which was implemented in 2012 and focuses on proactive replacement of at-risk gas utility infrastructure to enhance system safety and reliability. In accordance with the SAVE Act, these costs that were previously approved pursuant to Columbia’s SAVE Plan and are being collected in a surcharge outside of base rates, will be combined with non-gas base rates upon the effective date of those new rates, and the Company’s SAVE surcharge will be reset to zero. Columbia states in its Application that, in the time since the 2014 Rate Case, the Company has continued to enhance pipeline safety and reliability through its formal integrity management program for its distribution system (“DIMP”), by identifying, prioritizing, and reducing gas distribution pipeline integrity risks. The Application states Columbia has incurred operations and maintenance costs associated with the implementation of the Company’s DIMP initiatives as well as costs associated with compliance activities with federal pipeline safety advisories, collectively defined as “eligible safety activity costs” under § 56-235.10 of the Code. Columbia asserts the incremental levels of these eligible safety activity costs, not reflected in existing base rates, totaled approximately $8 million in 2015, and is projected to total approximately $6 million during the Rate Year. Columbia seeks, pursuant to § 56-235.10 of the Code, to recover, as deferred costs in new base rates, the incremental level of eligible safety activity costs not reflected in existing base rates. The Company further asserts that apart from DIMP activities, it anticipates increases in operations and maintenance costs above the 2015 levels associated with five safety related initiatives focused primarily on emergency response, reducing third-party damages, and repairing open leaks. The Company states it has incurred increased costs related to enhanced employee and contractor training requirements to meet increasingly stringent state and federal safety and operational compliance standards, as well as to meet the needs of a changing work force. The Company also asserts it has experienced an increase in corporate service costs billed by its centralized services company. According to the Company this proposed rate increase would increase the average monthly bill of a typical residential customer using 5.8 dekatherms from approximately $65.74 to approximately $74.88, or by 13.90%. Interested persons are encouraged to review the Application and supporting documents for the details of these and other proposals. While the total revenue that may be approved by the Commission is limited to the amount produced by the Company’s proposed rates, TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may approve revenues, and adopt rates, fees, charges, tariff revisions, and terms and conditions of service that differ from those appearing in the Application and supporting documents and may apportion revenues among customer classes and/or design rates in a manner differing from that shown in the Application and supporting documents. The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Hearing that, among other things, permits the Company to place its proposed rates, charges, and terms and conditions of service into effect on an interim basis, subject to refund, for the first billing unit of October 2016. The Commission’s Order for Notice and Hearing scheduled a public hearing at 10 a.m. on December 13, 2016, in the Commission’s second floor courtroom located in the Tyler Building, 1300 East Main Street, Richmond, Virginia 23219, to receive the testimony of public witnesses and the evidence of the Company, any respondents, and the Commission’s Staff. Any person desiring to testify as a public witness should appear at the hearing location fifteen (15) minutes prior to the starting time of the hearing and contact the Commission’s Bailiff.

On or before December 5, 2016, any interested person may file written comments on the Company’s Application with Joel H. Peck, Clerk, State Corporation Commission, c/o Document Control Center, P.O. Box 2118, Richmond, Virginia 23218-2118.

She worked as a critical care nurse until 1999 and then switched to medical outpatient nursing, which includes infusions, injections, IVs and placement of peripherally inserted central catheters. “I look back and – where has 40 years gone?” Gordon said. “How blessed I’ve been to have Culpeper Medical Center as my first job, and hopefully, my retirement job.

VIEWS EDITORIAL
Community Conversations This issue debuts the first of what we hope will be many contributed columns by your elected officials and others. Gary Deal has six months in as a new supervisor on the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors. We thought it a good choice to begin with him. He was excited at the opportunity of offering his views not only about the district that he serves but issues that the entire county faces. Optimistically, we look forward
to other contributions from not only board members but members of the Culpeper Town Council, School Board and law enforcement. Oftentimes, it is only at public meetings or other gatherings where the public gets a chance to meet and chat with their representatives. We’re hoping that given a written forum in the paper may encourage continuing conversations about issues affecting the county’s residents. We are a community newspaper. That has been and will continue to
be our mission. What’s that saying about the best things coming in small packages. We’re encouraged to Buy Local and Shop Local. With our nation’s capitol in such close proximity to the communities surrounding it, it’s easy to get caught up in the “big picture.” Reading Local keeps us centered and focused on the community where many of us live, work and play. It’s important to share our stories and views. We all have them and it keeps us connected.
Look for ways to get involved in the community Thank you West Fairfax residents for allowing me to serve you as your county representative for the past six months. It has been a whirlwind of a ride, as I work with you on issues, facilitate my initiatives as promised, and serve on our Culpeper Board of Supervisors and its multiple subcommittees. I believe government at all levels belongs to the people. Because our local government is closest to the people, I feel it is vital for our representatives to share and be transparent with their thoughts and ideas. When asked by the editor to deliver an occasional individual supervisor perspective piece for Culpeper Times - I said yes! Having lived in our marvelous community all my life, I agree that for so many of us, Culpeper County is, in fact, an ideal place to buy a home, raise a family, and hopefully even enjoy retirement. However, it is equally clear that the success story that is Culpeper County is not enjoyed or felt by all of our residents. We have pockets and communities of people who don’t feel heard, seen, or valued. I saw an example of this during the initial Recreation Study open house meeting at the State Theatre where a diverse group of people shared their opinions on community recreation. When a community center concept was brought up by the consultant, 80 percent of the people in attendance stood up in support with many conveying ideas and opinions that
THE WEST FAIRFAX DEAL Gary Deal
displayed their frustration. I’ve been involved in many brainstorming discussions lately related to community center options. In my opinion our county tax base and general fund is in very good shape allowing us to at least consider a community center option synonymous with self-sufficiency and community support from our citizens and businesses. I believe in self-sufficiency with a cap. We should not have county funds with millions and millions of surplus monies. We should not have community sports organizations with thousands and thousands in their bank accounts and charging families high participation fees for their kids. There has to be a balance. A community center should be diverse and friendly to all demographics and financial levels, but not operated using taxpayer funds. We need to find an equilibrium, partnerships, and contributions. Other than our great library, where in Culpeper is there a place for public meetings of the citizens on various issues? We have very few facilities where people who are on work force class budgets can rent space for a private family function or party that is too big for their own home. Same for non-profits. Local restaurants, markets, delis, and other businesses will benefit when people and groups congregate and this is a reason to have a center centrally located. I truly believe the majority of our community leadership understands what the people want and I see only positive things happening for the near future; i.e., a new town park on 29, boat ramp at Lake Pelham, potential beach at MT Run Lake, and the Carver School Vocational Education project on
RT. 15. Some great things are on the horizon for Culpeper! We are working to establish a community Youth Advisory Council (YAC) with a Steering Committee in place for support that can plan and organize events like a Youthfest in the near future. The main goal of the (YAC) is to bring our youth together with local government allowing them to feel comfortable sharing ideas and solutions. Our youth, as well as our overall residents, in Culpeper County want to be involved, they want to participate in our county. Our local government needs to reach out more, to pull them in, to see them, and to hear them. I know as a young man I did not volunteer much time to the community other than coaching, and that was a mistake. Culpeper County residents, I challenge you who are reading this to find a way to participate in our community. Whether you read to a group of children, help with Open Gym, clean up a road, or serve on one of the county’s many commissions or boards, please find a way to give back. Although our government is effective when working for you, it is so much stronger when we are working with you. You must put all your heart into everything you do. Ben Franklin once said, “you tell me and I forget, you teach me and I remember, you involve me and I learn.” Gary Deal is the West Fairfax representative on the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors. You may reach him at gdeal@culpepercounty.gov or (540) 219-8835

SAR, DAR honor Culpeper Minutemen of 1775 Contributed report On Saturday, June 11, the Culpeper Minutemen Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution honored the Culpeper Minutemen of 1775 in a ceremony at the Daughters of the American Revolution Memorial in Yowell Meadow Park. They were joined by members of the Culpeper Minute Men and Faquier Court House Chapters of the Daughters of the American Revolution, and the Asby Gap Society of the Children of the American Revolution. Special guests were three members of the Regiment von Huyen, Hessian re-enactors. The program opened with the combined color guard posting the colors of the United States, the 1775 Culpeper Minutemen, and the Regiment von Huyen, to the beat of Regiment von Huyen drummer Ken Smith-Christmas. Bill Schwetke gave a brief history of the Culpeper Minute Battalion, and then the Roll of Honor was called for twelve of the known Culpeper Minutemen. After each name was called, a bell was rung by Len Cowherd, and a short biography read by one of the three readers: Tom Hamill, Mary Ann Cowherd, and Beverly Alexander. Those we honored today included: Pvt. William Twisdale Pvt. Harmon Utterback Pvt. Reuben Walls Benjamin Watkins Pvt. Daniel Wealy Ensign Nathaniel Welch Pvt.William White Pvt. Axton Whitecotton Pvt. James Williams Captain John Williams Pvt. William Winfiel Pvt. James Withers Each group presented their wreath in honor of the 1775 Minutemen, accompanied by an honor guard of musketeers, Don Jennings, and Larry Alexander. A musket team of Continental Line Soldiers and a Hessian Grenadier fired a musket volley to salute the 1775 Culpeper Minutemen.

Solving the "synthetic" dilemma - do synthetic oils require a special filter? Synthetic oils are promoted by manufacturers of motor oils as having longer life. In fact, makers of many newer cars are now specifying that synthetic oils be used, and many more car owners are opting to use synthetic oil in their cars and SUVs. Yet, when it’s time to change the oil, many car owners are unsure as to whether they need a special oil filter with synthetic oils. “All of the oil filters we market today are fully compatible with synthetic oils,” said Kevin O'Dowd, Director of Marketing & Communications, for MANN+HUMMEL xxx Purolator Filters, manufacturer and supplier of top quality oil filters to the North American aftermarket. Courtesy of ASE However, if a motorist’s intention is to stretch out the oil change interval to take advantage of the benefits promised by the suppliers of synthetic engine oils, then it’s important to select an oil filter that matches and offers expanded ‘capacity’ and ‘efficiency’ to safely capture and hold the additional contaminants that will accumulate Culpeper: 540-727-8034 Orange: 540-661-1300 over longer time periods. Truck Services: 540-829-4999 Enter Purolator Synthetic. Based on cutting-edge technology, the recently introduced Purolator Synthetic oil filter family has been designed for longevity from the ground up. It utilizes 100 percent synthetic media with pleat support technology containing wire backing. Purolator Synthetic has substantially greater ability than conventional oil filters to capture and safely hold more contaminants generated over the extended life of synthetic oils without getting clogged. It is especially designed to work well on today’s high-tech engines, O'Dowd said. According to O'Dowd, “All of these features make Purolator Synthetic a 10,000-mile filter for motorists that are using synthetic motor oils in their vehicles, and PureOne and Classic appropriate choices for any car,” he said.

What’s in a Name? It’s easy to get lost in the wine aisle. My wife Jim Hollingshead 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.

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.

Shaffer to compete in National American Miss Virginia Jr. Teen Pageant Contributed report Caroline Shaffer, daughter of Robert and Rose Shaffer of Amissville, recently interviewed with National American Miss and was selected as a finalist in the 2016 National American Miss Virginia Jr. Teen Pageant to be held July 30Aug. 1, 2016, in Reston. Caroline just completed her freshmen year at CCHS where she was active in drama and women's acapella, and was manager for the Boy's Varsity Soccer team. She is looking forward to her sophomore year! NAM pageants focus on the foundational principles of positive self-image and the natural beauty within each contestant. Pageant staff are dedicated to empowering and encouraging young women to become all that they can be by equipping them with valuable life skills. They stress age-appropriate attire and do not hold swimsuit
competitions. In fact, points are deducted for wearing to much makeup! The recurring pageant theme is "Keeping it Real." By participating as a contestant, Caroline will learn to conduct herself professionally in a job style interview, introduce herself to an audience in a personal introduction, and present confidence, poise, and personality in formal wear competition and other situations. She will also make a difference in the lives of others by collecting books and school supplies for the Pageant Community Service Project to be donated to schools, shelters, libraries, and literacy programs. If any local businesses would like to include their business card or place an ad in the pageant yearbook, please contact Caroline's mother, Rose Shaffer, at 540-8485053 or roseshaffer55@comcast. net by June 17th. Personal notes of support and donations towards pageant costs are welcome, as well.
