SUMMER FOOD PROGRAM

Meals served through Aug. 5 The United States Department of Agriculture's 2016 Summer Food Service Program (SFSP) began serving breakfast and lunch to area children at three locations within the Town of Culpeper. Kid Central along with Culpeper Human Services has been selected to manage the program that runs through August 5. Participation in this program is open to all children (18-years and younger) and it is free of charge. All meals must be consumed at the point of distribution, according to Kid Central staff. The program will be held Monday through Fridays (breakfast will be served from 8:30 a.m. – 9:30 a.m. and lunch will be served from 11:30a.m.-1p.m.) at three locations: Yowell Meadow Park, Belle Court subdivision and the Galbreath/ Marshall Building. "We are excited to offer this valuable program again this year. During the school year, many families stretch their food budget by applying for free or reduced price school meals for their children. But during the summer, families find it hard to pay for the additional meal costs,” said Dorenda Pullen, Director of Early Childhood and Adolescent Service and Head Start. “I don't want any child to be at risk of being hungry this summer. This is a program that can benefit all children and families without any income or socioeconomic criteria they have to meet." The SFSP was created to ensure that children can continue to receive nutritious meals during extended school vacations when they do not have access to school lunch or breakfast. SFSP encourages communities to provide complete, wholesome meals for children that are served in safe, supervised locations where children can enjoy activities and play with other children. More information explaining the USDA's Summer Food Program is available at www.fns.usda.gov. Daily menus will follow USDA's dietary guidelines. For more information contact SFSP coordinator at 829-2124.

Culpeper Times • June 30-July 6, 2016

TIMES STAFF WRITER

Sheriff Scott Jenkins has a long career in law enforcement. A Culpeper native, he started as a Deputy Sheriff at the age of 18. He has been credited with transforming the sheriff’s office into a modern day law enforcement agency utilizing the latest training, education and technology. He’s one to try and stay ahead of the newest developments and encourage his deputies to be the best and brightest. Since 2012, he has served as sheriff. On June 20, at a gathering of the Founding Fathers Republican Women, Jenkins was the guest speaker. He was given a grand welcome. Gene Foret pulled out his guitar playing the Battle Hymn of the Republic as a prelude to his presentation and member Carol Duncan praised Jenkins for his support and adherence to local sovereignty. “We’re blessed to have him as sheriff,” she said. Jenkins addressed a number of issues that he’s constantly asked about. Heroin Epidemic Jenkins said that some physicians in the area have been run out or charged for their reckless behavior in over prescribing drugs. “We’re seeing more and more addiction to prescription drugs...it’s a money making venture,” said Jenkins, “which can then lead to heroin use.” “Bottom line, we need to address the pain...people get hooked on prescription drugs and it’s a segue toward heroin which is cheap and easy to get.” “We’re a small town with no ties to borders but [drugs] do come through our borders...kilos of heroin are coming from Mexico to suppliers...it’s quite deadly.” As far as 30-day programs, Jenkins has little regard. “They don’t cut it for heroin addiction,” said Jenkins who told of incidences where addicts will pull up in parking lots and end up dying in their cars after they’ve just robbed a pharmacy in broad daylight for drugs. “It’s a big problem...we’re fighting this horrible addiction...we are law enforcement, we’ll do what we can but it’s a costly endeavor.” “We need more money put into the budget...the system is overwhelmed.”

Body Cameras In the FY 2017 town budget, the purchase of body cameras was approved. Following several surrounding jurisdictions as well as a nationwide initiative, police departments are adopting the use of body cameras aimed to protect the officer and citizens. Jenkins has no objection to body cameras but it’s not a high priority for him at this time. He has other items that top his want list. “It’s great to protect the officer and citizens who could fall victim to a bad officer... but we’re triple the size of the town...I’ve nothing against but it’s not a budgetary item that we can afford right now.” “There are a lot of things facing our country...let’s focus on first things first... public safety is first and foremost.” Jenkins felt that Governor McAuliffe did a disservice by restoring voter’s rights and ease of getting a gun to some felons. Assault on the AR15 - let me tell you how strongly I feel Jenkins is a staunch gun rights advocate and supporter of the Second Amendment which grants Americans the right to bear arms. “Restricting one gun - an AR 15 - is the first step in restricting guns,” said Jenkins who strongly believes that if the country went that way he would have a plan. “When it crosses the line of a constitutional issue, there are ways that we can fight back,” said Jenkins. “There’s an easier approach.” “Let me think outside the box….if they were to ban these assault weapons...what if the local sheriff in Culpeper was looking for auxiliary deputies to keep their AR 15s...we could add some 1-2,000 auxiliary deputies.” “Every auxiliary deputy would be required to help the sheriff’s office 8 hours...I can’t find any restriction that would keep me from doing that...oh the bleeding hearts would cry...but I don’t think we need to be too fearful of that [ban on assault weapons]...there are solutions.” Still thinking outside the box, Jenkins mused "what if there were one sheriff in every state...50 states...everyone gets to keep their AR15s...that’s how strongly I feel on taking certain stands.” Jenkins is an NRA member. For more than 12 years, he has instructed citizens in “Concealed Carry of Handguns.” ➤ See Jenkins, Page 5

Sheriff Scott Jenkins is not opposed to arming teachers as a preventive measure to school violence. ➤ Jenkins, from Page 4 He continues to instruct federal and local officers in tactical firearms training. He is a charter member of the Virginia Homicide Investigators Association and is a member of the Virginia Sheriff’s Association and the National Sheriff’s Association. Arming teachers In May of 2015, the state of Oklahoma passed legislation which has been discussed in some Virginia localities - arming teachers in public schools. According to a Breitbart report, on May 12, 2015, Oklahoma Governor Mary Fallin (R) signed House Bill 2014, legalizing armed teachers and staff on Oklahoma public school campuses. HB 2014 “[authorizes] the carrying of a handgun onto school property by school personnel specifically designated by the board of education,” provided that person has undergone the training requirement and received the certification requisite to it. HB 2014 passed in the Oklahoma Senate on April 22 by a vote of 40 to 5. It passed the House on May 6 by a vote of 82 to 12. Proponents argued that a gun-free zone was a target zone and protecting children was their paramount reasoning for passing the legislation. Jenkins has similar views. Eliminating guns doesn’t eliminate the bad guy who is out to do evil. Jenkins further noted that it wouldn’t necessarily take an AR15 to do damage in a classroom. “Armed with the right weapon and cartridges, it wouldn’t take much,” said Jenkins sadly, “with a few sweeps to take a lot of lives.” “People don’t realize how easy it is...a 10 round magazine or 30...can do a lot of destruction...if they have the intent to kill, they will do it one way or the other.” Jenkins told the group that he had approached previous school superintendents about arming teachers on a selected basis...particularly those with prior military service. “I didn’t get anywhere,” said Jenkins who is hopeful that the current superintendent, Dr. Tony Brads, might be more receptive to the idea. Jenkins also told of the frustration that his deputies have had in the past in just entering into a school. “We just want to get to the bad guy,”

said Jenkins, “it’s amazing the roadblocks you’ll encounter to just get into some of the schools.” “We had one incident,” said Jenkins, “of a teacher who quickly went to her car when she knew deputies were coming to remove drug paraphenalia of a student who played with her child on a sports team to keep that student from getting in trouble...it’s unbelievable.” As an issue, arming teachers, would no doubt be controversial but Jenkins’ position on owning guns, in general, is straightforward. “I’d rather that you have a fighting chance...that you be able to arm yourself and defend yourself when we aren’t there or can’t get there in time.” Extremists Jenkins, who took heat several years ago when he brought in former FBI agent John Guandolo to take about Muslim extremists, in a training session held for his deputies and and others, sees this threat as very real. “They are willing to die to terrorize our citizens,” said Jenkins, “they’ve already done a lot of what their goal is...I don’t know why Orlando surprised us.” “We need to take them at their word... they aren’t shy about their goals...they’ve turned their attention to the United States and Europe.” Local support Jenkins, who is serving in his second term, will most likely run for a third. “It’s key to remember how important elections are at the local level,” stressed Jenkins who has enjoyed the support of the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors. “They are strong constitutional people,” said Jenkins, “I’m very fortunate... they are a great board to work with.” “We’re very blessed to have the leaders we do.” Jenkins grew up in Culpeper and has seen a lot of changes not only in the county but nationwide. “We’ve got to wake up...can’t allow political correctness to take over...too many are being silenced.” Supporting law enforcement, Jenkins said, “let these people do what they are trained to do.” Anita Sherman may be reached at anita@ culpepertimes.com

BEHIND THE BADGE A deputy with a good heart serves as fine example for others Douglas Craig Corbin, 58

His father’s family, the Corbins, came from the Blue Ridge, forced off the mountains when the federal government decided to take the land for the Skyline Parkway. Born in Culpeper, he grew up on his father’s small farm in White Shop, working hard, going to school, building character and physical strength –both of which came into good use during his 37 plus year career in the Culpeper Sheriff’s Office. Doug Corbin was known for his strength during his earlier years as a deputy. “He’s the strongest man I’ve ever known,” one deputy said of the quiet soft spoken deputy. Corbin chuckles at the observation. He grew up working the farm he said and “sometimes people think they are stronger than they are.” But Corbin rarely had to use physical force, he was just that tall and big that he commanded respect when he needed it, according to all who have worked with him. Equally important when dealing with unruly suspects, according to those who know him, was his well-known reputation for integrity.

Deputy, Civil Process Married: two children, two grandchildren Hobbies: gun shows, hunting, gardening, yard work

Now a part time deputy, having retired in 2008, Corbin came into the Sheriff’s Office under former Sheriff Robert Peters in 1979. Like many in the Culpeper County Sheriff’s Office, he counts Peters as a major influence in his own development as an officer. Corbin’s more favorite experience in law enforcement involved President George Bush, the elder. “He flew into Culpeper and needed an escort to the train station,” Corbin explained. Then Sheriff Roger Mitchell dispatched Corbin and Deputy Rocky Peters to the scene. “We came barreling up 29,” he said, to the assignment. They spoke with the President while waiting for the train. “It made my day,” he said. Law enforcement was not a fam-

ON YOUR LOT

ily tradition, according to Corbin. He said he remembers seeing deputies as a young boy, “I always liked them and the way they acted,” he said. The main attraction for Corbin, though, was that they helped people. And, he said, that is the main reward for him as well. “Law enforcement is not all about locking people up,” he said. “It’s mainly about helping people.” He has seen a lot of changes in Culpeper over the years. The influx of “all kinds of people” is the main change he sees. It’s not a bad thing, according to Corbin, but clearly a change from the old days when the county was more rural and settled. Law enforcement too has changed, there is more “star trek” involved but the basics are still the same: treat people with respect. It’s been a successful model for Corbin who has worked under five sheriffs and gathered two “Deputy of the Year” awards from the VFW. “I can remember Doug as one of the deputies I looked up to as a teenager and would often see flagging traffic for us at the high school,” Sheriff Scott

Jenkins said. “It's no secret that I respect a lot of the people I served with in my early days as a Deputy.” That respect for Corbin carried over into Jenkins’ bid for the Sheriff’s position in 2007 when, if elected then, Corbin would have been on the short list for the Chief Deputy position, according to Jenkins. “I’m fortunate to have worked with Doug at a young age and even more fortunate to still be able to work with him now,” Jenkins said. “He knows how to treat people – and is a good example for young deputies to follow.” And Jenkins added, he is a good person to seek out for advice.

Storeland is all about the stuff of storage By Anita Sherman STAFF WRITER

When you drive into Storeland located on Gate Road off of Lovers Lane, your first impression will undoubtedly be a good one. This isn’t your average cluster of storage units. Elegant and clean lines from detailed landscaping and iron fencing may have you feeling that you’ve driven into someone’s estate. That presentation is by design. Owner Stephen McLean comes with years of experience in land development and landscaping. He’s also had storage unit facilities in other states and aims to please. “I want to keep it very clean and appealing,” says McLean who has done his research as well. “Sixty percent of the decisions when it comes to storage rentals is done by women,” noted McLean, “they want to make sure that belongings are in a good and clean place.” With the first phase completed, McLean has 190 units ranging in

size from 5x5 to 10x30. When you walk the hallways of Storeland’s inside units, you’ll be impressed with the lighting, temperature controlled air system, security cameras and clean and crisp colors. Units are thoroughly cleaned and mopped after each customer. “We sweep out all the dust,” says McLean. “We want to be customer friendly.” Outside units have leak proof roofing and can accommodate vehicles. Video monitoring is also onsite. Outside restrooms are available as well. According to McLean, most renters, on average, will store things for 6-8 months but he’s had customers that keep things in storage for more than 10 years. “It might be a move or renovations that people need reliable storage,” says McLean noting that some homeowners will store excess furniture as they are staging their homes for a sale. One of the conveniences that

McLean has added is a 24/7 selfrental kiosk. Located just outside the main office, McLean has already observed many customers taking advantage of this feature. “It’s as easy as renting a DVD,” chuckles McLean who said the unit will take credit cards, checks or cash as payment. “It will even sell you a lock.” So, while McLean is in the office on a daily basis, for customers who come after hours, it’s no problem to rent and/or pay for a unit. The lobby at Storeland has a unique and professional feel. No high counters. An elegant office feel greets you instead. McLean chose Culpeper and this site for its proximity to a major highway and the town. He liked the feel of the area and after doing considerable market research determined that there was a need for an upscale storage unit facility even though there are other storage places around. Open a few months, he is currently running a number of specials. He’s kept his prices reasonable and competitive. Phase 2 of the future

buildout on his four acres will bring total units up to 430. Whether you need extra space for storing business materials, personal items or seasonal sports gear, the units at Storeland will offer you all the comforts and convenience of having an extra room at home. Storeland can only be described as storage on steroids. McLean has perfected the storing of stuff and taken it to new levels.

HOME & GARDEN Your lawn deserves the very best tools K&M EQUIPMENT

It’s that time of the year – you drive around your neighborhood and compare your yard to everyone else’s. Are you envious of your neighbors’ well manicured lawns? Does everyone else’s lawn and garden look better than yours? By following a few simple suggestions, you can have a yard that others envy. Make sure you have the right equipment to accomplish what you want to get done. Is it the right size? Does it do everything you want it to do? Is it reliable or do you have a lot of downtime with repairs? It might be beneficial and more efficient in the long run for you to invest in new equipment to get the job done faster and more efficiently. When making that purchase, you should take into consideration a variety of factors including cost, availability of parts, and future

repair and warranty service. We would encourage you to shop around for high quality and cost efficient brands of equipment. Purchasing low cost equipment could end up costing you more if you are unable to get parts, or if repair and warranty service is unavailable. Regular servicing of your lawn and garden equipment is an important factor in maintaining productivity. Fuel is a big issue. When ethanol (a component of most gas station fuels) sits in the carburetor, it eats fuel lines and deteriorates carburetors. An investment in ethanol-free fuel is worth it in the long run to prevent repairs and down time. In searching for outdoor equipment or repairs, customer service, knowledgeable staff, and high quality brands should be your top priority. Yes! – with a little help you can achieve that perfect yard!

Congressman Dave Brat debuts new book When Congressman Dave Brat (R-7) visited Culpeper last Monday at a CORPS (Christian Organization of Retired Persons) meeting, he mentioned that his new book American Underdog was about to hit the streets. It debuted June 28. In it, Brat tells the incredible story of how an unknown economics professor armed with nothing but a firm grasp of foundational American principles defeated one of the most powerful men in Congress and went on to win the general election. Drawing inspiration and wisdom from Classical Greece and Rome, St. Augustine, the Enlightenment, and modern thinkers, Brat’s unlikely victory proved big ideas still matter, if only we are willing to rediscover them. For an often divided conservative movement, Brat has a powerful message: limited government, Judeo-Christian values and free enterprise are not separate political issues. They are integral parts of a unified philosophy that gave birth to the most free, most prosperous nation in human history. Dave Brat beat incumbent Eric

Cantor, who many speculated would be the next Speaker of the House, in 2014. It was a historic victory. He is the Republican nominee in Virginia’s 7th District and will seek reelection in November. Meet the Author Congressman Dave Brat will be in Culpeper Friday, July 1, at the GOP Office located at 210 N. Main Street from 4-6 p.m. His book, American Underdog, debuted June 28.

We’re everywhere you are! LOCAL NEWS, LOCAL VOICES, LOCAL PHOTO GALLERIES, LOCAL EVENTS, LOCAL BIZ BIOS, LOCAL BUSINESS OFFERS

The structurally-deficient bridge, located about 1.5 miles east of Route 211/522 (Lee Highway) and 0.5 mile west of Route 621 (Hunters Road), will be closed beginning July 5. Weather permitting, the road is expected to reopen to traffic July 28. A posted detour will direct westbound motorists north on Route 621, then left on Route 626 (Tiger Valley Road), and then left on Route 211/522 south, which carries traffic back to Route 622. Eastbound motorists will reverse the detour. During the closure, access to all driveway entrances will be maintained for local traffic. A VDOT crew will replace the 1976 bridge’s existing timber deck with a concrete slab. The work also involves repairs to the bridge’s abutments and the surrounding embankments. Message boards will be in place to notify the public of the closure and any weather-related schedule adjustments. For more information, visit www. virginiadot.org/info/Bridge.asp

VIEWS A celebrity visits Bell Tavern CULPEPER CURRENTS

My last column focused on a description of Bell Tavern which sat at the southwest corner of Main and Locust Streets in Culpeper. I mentioned that the proprietor Benjamin Shackelford had hosted President Thomas Jefferson. Here is a brief account of the President’s arrival: In 1809 Thomas Jefferson had concluded his second term as President and after attending the inauguration of James Madison on

Julie Bushong

March 4th, prepared for his trip home to Monticello. Traveling ahead of Jefferson on March 3rd was Edmund Bacon, his farm manager. Bacon, along with 11 slaves, was transporting three wagons piled full of Jefferson’s furniture and belongings. News of the procession had gotten around, for as the group passed through Northern Virginia, crowds turned out, hoping for a glimpse of the former Commander in Chief. As Mr. Bacon was riding in his employer’s personal four-horse carriage, some mistook him for the President which must have amused the farm manager greatly. Jefferson himself was able to better travel incognito as he was being driven in a one-horse phaeton

and accompanied by just one other attendant on horseback. Of course there was no secret service detail back then. Because of the muddy condition of the roads, the wagons moved at a slow pace and Jefferson caught up with his retinue even though he had left Washington days after his servants. The combined group reached Culpeper County in the middle of a fast moving snowstorm. By the time they made it to town, Bacon noted that the snow was “half-leg deep”. They decided to put up for the night at Bell Tavern and there they found a party atmosphere. Despite the storm, the porch was crammed with people who had learned of Jefferson’s imminent arrival.

When the group rode up, the crowd, having sampled many of Mr. Shackelford’s fine beverages while waiting, made so much noise they frightened the horses. Mr. Bacon even suffered an injury when one of the startled horses stomped on his foot. Shackelford was a superb host, having a large fire ready in a private room for Jefferson. But Jefferson had no peace until he consented to make an address to the excited crowd, after which he retired for the night. The next day he finally made it back to Monticello, traveling through another snowstorm along the way. Julie Bushong is the historian at the Culpeper County Library

What Prince didn’t know about wills What can we all learn from the recent death of superstar performer and songwriter Prince? Despite amassing assets conservatively estimated to exceed $300 million, Prince died without a will. What does this mean? First, he lost his opportunity to designate the persons or organizations that he wanted to receive his estate. If you die without a will, known as intestacy, the state dictates who will receive your assets. As a general rule, the state names your logical next of kin. For a married couple, the surviving spouse is generally the sole beneficiary. Next in order of succession would be children, parents, and then siblings. In Prince’s case, he had no spouse or children, so his siblings acquired his entire estate, including a number of half-siblings. Is this what he would have truly wanted? Unfortunately, we will never know because he did not have a will

LAW SENSE

Stephen P. Will

to provide directions. Intestacy may create additional problems depending upon your circumstances. For example, in today’s world of second marriages and blended families, when a person dies leaving a surviving spouse and children from a prior marriage, the spouse only receives one-third of the decedent’s estate and his children receive the remaining two-thirds. This can frequently cause problems within the family and those problems can be magnified if the children are under eighteen (18) years of age. Secondly, Prince failed to take advantage of his opportunity to designate the person or entity that would manage the distribution of his assets. In a will, you designate an executor that will handle the administration of your estate. If you die intestate, the Court appoints a person or entity to perform those services. In Prince’s case, the Court appointed a trust company as opposed to a family member or close friend. In his case, that may very well be an appropriate decision, but in most cases, people prefer that their assets be distributed by someone with whom they are acquainted and have a full understanding of how they want their

KEEP UP WITH THE TIMES

assets distributed. Thirdly, Prince missed the opportunity for planning that could have saved his estate significant expenses. Several years ago, the federal government raised the exclusion from federal estate taxes to $5 million. As a result, most Americans no longer have to pay estate taxes. In Prince’s case, however, his estate will face significant tax obligations that could have been greatly minimized by proper estate planning and charitable donations. With a Federal estate tax rate in excess of 40 percent, his estate will likely pay well over $100 million in estate taxes. Most of us do not have that problem. However, a will can save anyone money. In the case of intestacy, the court appointed administrator of the estate is required to post a fiduciary surety bond through an insurance company to guarantee the performance of his obligations. This bond fee frequently runs into the thousands of dollars. A simple will can waive the requirement for surety on that bond, effectively saving the estate those expenses. If a person dies without a will, leaving beneficiaries under the age

of eighteen (18), the Court will be required to appoint a guardian for the children’s custody and to manage their assets. A will permits an individual to designate and to appoint a trustee to manage the assets on behalf of the minor beneficiary. In addition, a person may elect to have the funds distributed to the beneficiary at an older age than eighteen (18), when the beneficiary may be more mature. The will can also authorize the trustee to make distributions on behalf of the beneficiary for items designated in the will, such as education and medical costs. I am frequently asked when a person needs a will. My response is if they have a family and care who receives their assets at their death, they need a will. Do not make the same mistake as Prince. Please consult with an attorney and make an estate plan that will ensure that your wishes are known and that your family receives the maximum benefit from your estate. Stephen P.

What to do about Mom? The respirator’s soft “chhhh…pffff” sounded in the background as Susan and I sat at the kitchen table. “Years ago,” Susan told me, “I promised Mom, come hell or highwater, I would let her die at home – and I am going to do whatever it takes to keep my promise.” It’s one thing to say that. But what do you do when you’re overseeing care and medical needs outpace your ability to foot the bill? Susan’s parents had not gone into retirement financially unprepared: they each have federal pensions, Social Security and Medicare, substantial savings, little debt and no mortgage. But four years back, on Thanksgiving, Susan’s mother had

a massive hemorrhagic stroke. She spent three weeks in the hospital, and another 30 days in rehab. But when she failed to make progress in her recovery, she was discharged – and Susan, true to her word, brought her mother home. First they utilized their long-term care until the benefits ran out. Then they used their savings. When those were gone, Susan began tapping her own retirement savings to help cover her mother’s in-home medical care. This was clearly unsustainable, so Susan made an appointment with an elder law attorney, who suggested she look into a reverse mortgage for her mother. In this case, due to the value of the home and the homeowners’ ages, the reverse mortgage will provide funds enough to cover another 4½ years of care, and the attorney is working to put in place additional benefits that will further stretch the reverse

mortgage funds. Increasingly, boomers face the same challenge: helping mom and dad finance care, even as they themselves labor to save for retirement. Reverse mortgage can play a significant role in helping balance this equation. Is a reverse mortgage a fit for everyone? Of course not. No one financial product is. But as we Americans age, nearly all of us will need every financial tool available, either as we fund our own retirement, or help mom and dad fund theirs. If you have questions, give me a call. I always love hearing from you. Laurie MacNaughton [NMLS 506562] is a freelance writer and Reverse Mortgage Consultant with Southern Trust Mortgage.

Cleaning your engine Why should you clean the engine compartment? Rust prevention, early oil/fluid leak detection, early belt wear detection and cosmetics are among the prime reasons. (There is a rumor that certain series of German mid/rear engine cars have a factory designed engine oil leakage feature to assist in rust prevention for the non-galvanized rear quarter panels and trunk areas.) l To soften the grease and grunge collected on your engine compartment, start the engine, let it warm up for a few minutes and shut it off. The proper cleaning temperature of the engine is warm but not hot. xxxIf you can just hold your hand to the engine without burning it, then it is warm enough to clean. As the engine cools to proper Courtesy of ASE temperature, use the time to cover the few openings on the motor that dislike ingesting water. The air intake/air filter, the distributor, the coil and the oil dipstick/breather are among the few sensitive areas. l Use plastic Baggies and rubber bands to cover the air intake/air filter(s) and the distributor/coil. Place a douCulpeper: 540-727-8034 Orange: 540-661-1300 ble layer of Baggies over the air intake and secure with a Truck Services: 540-829-4999 couple of rubber bands. Use a pair of two-gallon size Baggies to cover the distributor and plug wires around the distributor cap. This may be difficult to seal, but the idea is to prevent significant amounts of water possibly shorting out the distributor. If the cap is in good condition, it will be waterproof, so this is only a preventative measure. l Now that your engine is warm and sealed, spray the entire engine/engine compartment with a quality, non-petroleum based degreaser. Try to start from the bottom and work up. This way you dont have the degreaser dropping on your face as you clean the underside areas. l Once the engine/engine compartment is clean, immediately remove all of your plastic baggies/rubber bands. Dry any puddles and aluminum parts with a soft, 100% cotton towel. Lastly, check all fluid levels, remove any stray Baggies and you are finished! carcareonline.com

than that, and dug in their heels. And now this.” “I’ve had a lot of artists imploring me to change my mind,” said Parrish. “And one of them, her final argument to me was that the rent paid by the artists almost covered expenses — but it turned out she meant it almost covered the utilities. But you have insurance, real estate taxes, and from what I estimated, to make the necessary improvements to the [unimproved] upstairs, for possible office space, there was probably $300,000 in work.” Middle Street’s Gary Anthes said the artists’ cooperative is still not sure of its future — beyond the show opening this weekend

“I had lots of ideas for the building,” hay farmer and Rappahannock County Stonewall-Hawthorne county supervisor Chris Parrish said Wednesday, speaking of the River District Arts building which three weeks ago he’d offered to buy for $1.1 million from former Rappahannock residents Jerome and Lucille Niessen — who’d accepted the offer. “Problem was,” he added, “my ideas were more idealistic than they were pragmatic. And no matter what I came up with, it wasn’t going to pay the mortgage.” Thus, late last week, Parrish said he took one of several “outs” built into the sales contract. And the artists — some 18 potters, printmakers, painters and photographers who rent studio and gallery space from RDA itself, plus the 22 members of the decadesold nonprofit Middle Street Gallery artists’ cooperative adjacent to the converted apple packing shed — are dealing again with disappointment. And with getting their stuff into boxes by July 1. “I don’t know why the stars just wouldn’t align on this,” said potter Sara Adams, who’d been representing the artists in dealing with the Niessens, who are on their way to Africa, where Jerome Niessen is on an extended work assignment for an international renewable-energy company. Without a buyer, the Niessens told tenants several months ago that they planned to mothball the building by August. “Robert Archer had a plan,” said Adams, speaking of the first serious potential buyer to negotiate with the Niessens in their year-long quest to sell the large exposed-beam shed — which, by 2011, they had renovated into an attractive, Torpedo Factory-like artists’ studio and gallery space with a full-service restaurant. “But Archer wouldn’t accept that it was worth more than a million dollars, and I guess that Jerome and Lucille thought it was worth more

Two summer picnic basket ideas for foodies (StatePoint) It’s finally picnic season, and there’s no reason to stick to basic flavors when dining al fresco. “My mantra is ‘eat cheese, drink wine, and live life happy,’” says R. Kent Torrey, president and CEO (aka, “Cheese Eating Oenophile”) of The Cheese Shop, Inc., in Carmel, CA, which features wine, gastronomic gourmet foods, and on any given day up to 200 different cheeses. To help make your basket-andblanket feast delicious, he has shared two picnic basket ideas for lovers of both white and red wine. White Wine Bright, clean and balanced wines are ideal to enjoy in the sun. Consider Sequoia Grove Napa Valley Chardonnay, which has a crisp finish that is ideal for pairing with cheese. Pair it with Pilota, a creamy cow and sheep milk blend cheese from the French Pyrénées. The rich cow’s milk offers a nice contrast to the wine’s crisp finish, while the sheep milk’s slightly salty tang emphasizes the Chardonnay’s fruity flavors. Another cheese pairing to consider is Grafton Village’s Truffle Cheddar from Vermont; the subtle, earthy truffles pair well with the vibrant fruit and crisp acidity in the Chardonnay. For some added nibbles to complete your picnic, throw in some wildflower honey straws to complement the cheese, along with Greek mix olives,

salami, Marcona almonds, and cranberry hazelnut bread. Red Wine For those who prefer red wine, Sequoia Grove Napa Cabernet Sauvignon is a deliciously versatile food-friendly selection that features blackberry and red cherry flavors, sweet spice notes, and smooth tannins. Pair this wine with full-flavored nutty cheeses such as Fourmage, a Dutch Gouda made of cow, goat, sheep and water buffalo milk, that has a subtle earthiness to match this concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon. Another pairing to consider is Comté Cyclaman, a special late winter release from the Jura Mountains in France, which has nutty, fruit forward flavors from cow’s milk, along www.CulpeperCheese.com with “crunchy crystals,” (natural 129 East Davis Street, Suite 100 minerals found in milk that crystalliz Culpeper, Virginia 22701 from extended cheese aging), that (540) 827–4757 accentuate the dynamic red berry fruits in the wine. Cabernet Sauvignon picnic basket “must haves” include dry tart cherries to pique the red fruit notes of the wine, as well as walnuts that marry well with the balanced tannins of the Cabernet.

Myths and truths of probiotics (StatePoint) With all the attention paid to health and wellness these days, it’s no wonder that probiotics are such a hot topic. Probiotics support digestive health and strong immunity (70 percent of our immune system is located in the digestive tract); however, there are a lot of myths surrounding them. Here are a few myths and facts to consider from probiotic experts at Ganeden, a leading manufacturer of probiotic ingredients: Myth: If a yogurt product has the Live & Active Cultures seal on the label, it is “probiotic.” Fact: The seal indicates that at the time of manufacture, a refrigerated yogurt contained at least 100 million cultures of Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophiles per gram, and that a
