BEHIND THE BADGE Marine Corp mentality shapes this deputy’s dedication and heart In 2003 when America went to war Oliver Brugoto was in one of the first vehicles to cross the Iraqi border. “I was told we were the third vehicle in,” he explained. The mission: get to the oil wells before Saddam Hussein ordered them set afire. “Then,” Brugoto said, “the march was on.” He and the rest of the Third Battalion, Fifth Marines, battled their way to Baghdad and north to Samarra where the mission was to hold the ground. It was a long way from the flat rice fields of Arkansas where Brugoto grew up, hacking thorns, picking rocks from the fields and working the farm. Brugoto is quick to point out that his was not the idyllic childhood one might expect from a life on the farm. The home life was “fractured” and the work long and backbreaking from an early age. But it made Brugoto value family all the more -- and the lessons learned then define his life today. The law enforcement bug bit him early. After high school he ended up operating heavy equipment. But in

Oliver Brugoto, 37

Sergeant, Night Shift, Delta Squad Married: three daughters Hobbies: family, fishing, hunting, full time college student 2000, he decided to follow in the footsteps of his father, grandfather and a slew of uncles. He joined the Marines. “I figured it was the toughest branch to join,” he said. Early in his career he was assigned police duty at Camp Pendleton for several months. He liked it. His assignment ended there but he remembered the satisfaction of the job. By the time he had finished his military career, Brugoto racked up four deployments: Okinawa, Iraq and two deployments to Afghanistan. He finished out as a Rifle Platoon Commander in Quantico. Along the way he found the love of his life at Camp Pendleton, married her after a quick four month romance in 2003, taught at the Marine Combat Training Battalion being meritoriously promoted

to Staff Sergeant in 2008, and when he finished out he found himself and his family in a new home in Culpeper. “We love it,” he said. Perhaps most important to the tall robust former Marine is spending time with his children. He fishes, “colors a lot of pictures” and takes them on “a lot of tractor rides.” “I try to make sure I’m the type of parent that they need,” he said of his fathering philosophy. You get the impression early that he wants to be the father he never had and it is prime priority for him. Brugoto learned the basics of law enforcement during that short stint in Camp Pendleton. When he got out of the service he remembered the satisfaction of the job. He likes people and that is at the heart of his practice of law enforcement. “I think he's a great fit for our office,” Culpeper Sheriff Scott Jenkins said of Brugoto who was recently promoted to Sergeant of a patrol squad. “I've been with him on several calls and liked the way he interacts with our citizens.”

The two first met on a field trip for their children. “He’d been out of the Marines for about six months when we met on that field trip,” Jenkins said. “I always look to hire veterans when possible.” Once the background investigation was complete Brugoto went right to work at the office. “Oliver is a fine example of the caliber of men and women we have coming out of military service,” Jenkins said.

Depot gets new roof The historic Depot (circa 1904) will receive a new raised seam metal roof to replace the existing metal shingle roof that has failed. Town staff and Sanders Architecture, LLC worked with the Town Architectural Review Board in specifying the type of replacement roof so that the new roof will be consistent with the time period the Depot was constructed. Alonzo Ours Construction, Inc. of Manassas was the qualified low bidder for this roof replacement and has been awarded the contract for the project. The estimated total cost of this project is $148,475, excluding contingencies. Work is scheduled to commence this week. The existing metal shingle roof was compromised due to damage that occurred from several large snow storms and the subsequent freeze/thaw cycles that caused the metal shingles to deflect, break seal and allow water to penetrate into the sub-roof and building interior. Because of the subroofing material’s exposure to water, it is expected that damage to purlins and sheathing may be encountered and repaired during this project. Given the weather conditions experienced in Culpeper, a raised seam metal roof will provide a greater degree of protection and durability than a metal shingle roof. The new raised seam metal roof will be the same color as the existing roof and will require about two months to retrofit, weather permitting. Scaffolding with overhead protection and netting will be erected by the contractor to ensure safe access to the depot during demolition and construction. Safety areas and materials assembly points will be marked with traffic control devices/ signage and will impact the public’s use of parking spaces on Commerce Street. Every effort will be made to minimize impact to special events scheduled at the Depot or the Culpeper Museum of History during the project. “We ask that pedestrians in the Depot area be aware of the work safety zones associated with this construction project and be careful when entering the Depot,” said Public Services Director Jim Hoy. “If all goes as planned, we should have a new roof on the Depot before fall.”

ALL ABOUT TOWN

Girl Scout project approved Members of Culpeper Town Council took little time in approving a proposal from Skyler Revutin, a local resident and girl scout, who requested that the Town provide a location on Town property adjacent to Lake Pelham Drive for a book box to be maintained by her troop, Girl Scout Troop 1240. Book boxes are the result of a program known as the Little Free Library (LFL). The LFL is an international organization that promotes reading for all ages. Book boxes are placed in public or private areas to serve as a book exchanges. The Girl Scout troop proposes to construct and install the book box. Skyler is a resident of Lakeview Subdivision and would be able to closely monitor the book box. Staff coordinated with legal counsel to draft a Stewardship Agreement to be associated with the project. Under the agreement, the Girl Scout Troop will maintain the book box but the Town will be able to remove or relocate it as necessary. There will be a minimal expense to install the post that will support the book box, to move it if necessary, and finally to remove it. Skylar, 14, was not able to be at the meeting when the project was approved. She was at a Girl Scouts event. Her parents, Charity and Peter Revutin, were there and left with broad smiles. Skylar, who attended Culpeper County Middle School, will head to Eastern View.

There is a store called "The Shop" at 125 E. Davis Ste.100 that has interested me for some time. It has been open for almost a year now. I stopped in and found the owner Jason Theis and had a nice chat with him. Jason is a disk jockey by trade and owns this store as kind of a hobby. It is an interesting place. He has current and older games, cards, comic books, etc. He also has a "hall of fame" of retro equipment that has been used over the years to play games and cds and other things. He is a knowledgeable guy. I suggest that everyone drop by to see what he has, make a purchase, and enjoy good conversation. ➤ Check out Rich’s blog at facesofculpeperva.blogspot.com and Faces of Culpeper on Facebook

It tore at Mike Russell’s heart to see his hometown in disarray. Richwood, West Virginia was ravaged by the storms that dumped 9.4 inches of rain onto the small community of approximately 3,000 people June 23. Owner of M.D. Russell construction, Russell quickly organized relief help and set out to help manage the restoration of the town he was born and raised in. Russell and his brother Joe Roman, of J.C. Roman Construction, headed to Richwood two weeks ago with equipment - donated by local businesses like Sherbyn’s Landscaping - and began clearing roads. Once there, Russell and his family were amazed at the lack of response from officials, with mostly volunteers helping recover and comfort families. “It’s terrible,” Russell said. “FEMA had been there but no one was doing anything. Elderly people are sitting on sofas that have black mold crawling up the walls.” A quick call to his friend Captain Tim Chilton of the Culpeper Police Department led to Chilton posting a message on his personal Facebook page, and the effort to help Richwood hit the ground running. “The response was so big, I decided to go through all the channels to get the police department involved,” Chilton said. On Monday, the Culpeper Police Department’s community room was filled to the brim with donations from the commu-

nity. Chilton said that a steady stream of donations rolled in on Saturday and Sunday while other law enforcement agencies like the Albemarle Police Department and Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office became involved and decided to fill up trucks of their own to help out. A company in Fredericksburg was arriving later on Monday with a load of 10,000 diapers for Richwood. Russell said it’s not just Richwood being helped, as the community will only take what they need and then send the remaining donations along to other towns affected by the flooding. A humble and grateful community, Russell said Richwood has been overwhelmed by the support they’ve received by volunteers and other communities. “It’s great, it means a lot,” Russell said. “A lot of time you’re there for a week and you don’t see a lot of help from the Red Cross or others. As soon as you reach out to Tim and the local community, less than a week they have all of this ready to go.” Chilton said his original post was shared almost 70 times and reached about 20,000 people on Facebook. His Village Church answered the call and provided volunteers Monday to help load the UHaul, which was donated by Rusty’s Towing and Recovery. For Pastor Erick Kalenga, it only made sense to have his congregation help in any way they could. “I’m a firm believer in being part of a community,” Kalenga said. “Us working together with the police department is a privilege. They are protecting us and we are trying to support them.” ➤ See Help, Page 5

➤ Help, from Page 4 Chilton and Kalenga plan on driving the UHaul to Richwood on Tuesday and Chilton said that if more donations come in, they are willing to take another load to help out. “It’s been unreal how many people showed up,” Chilton said. “We have no idea how much (donations) we got, it’s that many.” For more information about helping Richwood, visit www.rebuildrichwood. com The circle of trust The coordination between volunteers, law enforcement and churches comes at a critical time in the nation, Chilton pointed out. On Thursday, five officers were shot and killed in Dallas during a BlackLivesMatter protest. Earlier last week two AfricanAmerican men were shot and killed by police. “It’s big, especially right now in the times we’re in,” Chilton said. “Our trust value is humongous within our community. We sent it out and obviously Culpeper responded.” Culpeper Town Police Department Chief Chris Jenkins said community support has never wavered in Culpeper. “I think this community is a very supportive community of law enforcement, always has been,” Jenkins said. “Last week after the stuff in Dallas we had boxes upon boxes of Dunkin’ Donuts, Knakals, homemade cookies, cards, just an outpouring of support in our community.” He praised Chilton and his other officers for becoming involved to help other areas affected by tragedy. “I think that’s what we’re all about is giving back to the community,” Jenkins said. “To me it just speaks to the quality of the folks that we have.” Kalenga, originally from South Africa, stressed the importance of giving back and building bonds within the community. “I quickly engaged my church and said ‘yes, we’re not a big church but we can get involved,’” Kalenga said. “It’s building the trust between us and the police department, but more importantly it’s teaching my congregation to become more mission minded.”

Volunteers from the Culpeper Law Explorers, His Village church and various local businesses helped load a U-Haul bound for Richwood, West Virginia.

Germanna designates Friday afternoons for staff/faculty training Germanna Community College invests in people. So the GCC is about to begin investing two hours each Friday afternoon in opportunities for faculty and staff. Starting July 15, there will be no classes from 2:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and functions other than testing and library services will shut down. (Functions at the Daniel Center in Culpeper and the Stafford County Center at Aquia will shut down at 2 p.m. to allow for travel time.) The College believes this will provide faculty and staff the chance to grow and thrive. “It’s about innovation,” Vice President for Workforce Development and Academic Affairs Jeanne Wesley said. “It’s about change--about growing to be more successful.” Through setting aside this time, Germanna President David A. Sam said, the college will: Invest in people through professional development, recognitions, and rewards that align with the college’s Mission, Values, and Goals and develop an institutional culture that both values and demonstrates continuous improvement, accountability, and datasupported decision making Dr. Wesley said it will be a time

set aside to “do things, make decisions, plan things: “We care about our employees and that’s why we’re doing it,” she said. “We’re moving in this direction to ensure a finely tuned, cohesive staff and faculty,” breaking down any perception of silos. Training Fridays will also provide an opportunity to move meetings that might otherwise interrupt the flow of things to the end of the week. The ultimate goal is to boost learning and student success, Dr. Wesley said. The time was chosen, Dr. Sam said, because fewer students tend to schedule classes on Friday afternoons not only at GCC, but across the country. “This is not time off, this is time to become better,” Dr. Wesley said. Faculty and staff surveys have turned up complaints about a lack of cross training. Interim Vice President for Student Success Tom Perin said finding time to provide training for staff has been a challenge. “This is an opportunity to shut down on Friday afternoons and provide chances for staff members to cross train,” he said. Perin said: “I’ve already been asking folks, ‘What do you want to do? What do you want to train?’ ” GCC Registrar Cheri Maea said she’d like staff in her department to eventually be able to provide sup-

S. Department of Labor has extended a grant that supports a program that helps veterans at Germanna Community College to gain college credits for life experience and pairs them with mentors from the local business community. Last year the Department of Labor awarded the Virginia Community College System more than $3 million for the program. Germanna received $150,000. The grant was to expire in March 2016, but the success of the program led to the extension. “We’ve made considerable progress on implementation,” said Germanna Veterans Mentor Program Supervisor William T. Anderson. He said Germanna has been finding

new ways to grant student veterans credit for learning from their time in the military. He said there has been a related effort to expand credit-earning opportunities for students via standardized exams and portfolios. The grant has allowed Germanna to establish and fund portfolio program for veterans with business experience to earn business credit for their prior learning, while reimbursements are now being offered to qualified veterans who attempt College Level Examination Program exams or DANTES Standardized Subject Tests for college credit at Germanna. The career mentor program matches student veterans with other veterans in the community who have successfully transitioned to civilian life. “The goal of this mentor program is for the student veteran to develop better life skills and to enhance personal and professional growth.,” Anderson said. “The response of the community to the requests for volunteer mentors has been very gratifying…the matching process results in a one-on-one relationship with a mentor who can provide a positive role model and confidant for the student veteran.“ When the spring semester ended in May, the Veteran Mentor Program had matched five mentor-mentee pairs.

HOME & GARDEN War of red and gray Here in the United States, we feel beleaguered by invasive species that have been introduced from elsewhere, but species introduction is not a one-way street. Consider the eastern gray squirrel (Sciurus carolinensi), in the tree-squirrel genus. Americans have long been conflicted about our relationship with this rodent. While we tend to enjoy its antics and admire its ingenuity and pluck, we also can lose patience with its propensity for raiding bird feeders, digging up gardens, nesting in attics and feeding on crops. Partly because it has easily adapted to living among us humans, the gray squirrel has been able to expand its range. And conservationists are concerned that this poses a threat to other, less-adaptive squirrel species, including the smaller, shyer American red squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus), in the pine-squirrel genus. In the US, the red’s range extends from the

WILD IDEAS Pam Owen

Northwest, where it is more common, to the Appalachians, although populations are patchy in some areas. Across the pond, the issue of red versus gray is much more heated, according to a June 9 article by Erik Stokstad in Science magazine online. Since the gray was introduced in the UK and Ireland, it has “muscled out” the native Eurasian red squirrel (Sciurus vulgaris), which is in the same genus as the gray and is now considered endangered in the UK, Stokstad writes. The exact reasons why the nonnative gray over matches the Eurasian red is a point of controversy, but the gray’s larger size, greater strength, and greater ability to store fat for winter are thought to be factors, according the Encyclopedia of Life, or EOL. A study published in the Journal of Animal Ecology has also shown that grays compete for seeds cached by the reds in the spring, resulting in fewer and smaller young red squirrels being produced. The gray squirrel also faces few predators in the UK, other than the pine marten (a native weasel), which seems to tamp down gray-squirrel populations while not greatly affecting the reds, as is usually the case when

Almost extinct 50 years ago, the marten is rebounding in Scotland and Ireland, thanks to conservation efforts, according to an article in British newspaper The Guardian, but still remains “rare” in England and Wales. Perhaps the most devastating threat the gray poses to the Eurasian red is

squirrelpox (Parapoxvirus), a virus that the gray carries but is generally immune to. Stokstad describes the virus as causing a “gruesome” death in red squirrels, enabling the grays to expand their range “by as much as 34 square kilometers per year” where the virus is ➤ See Squirrel, Page 9

➤ Squirrel, from Page 8 present — 25 times faster than where the red squirrels are healthy. Some people in the squirrel war zone are literally beating back the gray intruder. Under the UK’s Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981, if an eastern gray squirrel is trapped, it is illegal to release it or to allow it to escape into the wild, and should instead be “humanely dispatched,” according to Rural Development Service Technical Advice Note 09. The technique for doing so is also pretty gruesome, although quicker than squirrelpox: trapping the squirrel, putting it in a bag and then bludgeoning it to death with a large stick. “I don’t like doing this, but they don’t belong here.” Stokstad quotes one biologist saying. As with the introduction of many “exotic invasives,” the gray squirrel did not travel outside of its native habitat under its own steam. According to Stokstad, in 1890 the 11th Duke of Bedford, Herbrand Russell — the species’ “most ardent enthusiast by far” — set 10 free on his estate, near London. He then helped the species’ expansion by giving away offspring pairs as gifts, including six pairs to someone in Ireland. DNA studies show that all of Ireland’s grays descended from those six pairs. The gray was subsequently also introduced into northern Italy and now threatens Eurasian red squirrel populations there as well, according

to an article in the journal Biological Invasions. While in 1970 “red squirrels were still widespread and greys were restricted to forests near the introduction site,” the article says, the gray’s range “doubled in the successive two decades.” A project is now underway to control the gray in northern Italy, with recent trade restrictions and trade bans as a “first step” in trying to keep the squirrel from invading other countries. Along with the native-versusnonnative issue, culture is on the side of the red squirrel in the UK, Stokstad writes: it’s featured in children’s books, such as Beatrix Potter’s “The Tale of Squirrel Nutkin,” and in a well-known cartoon. But some conservation groups oppose the killing of gray squirrels to save the red squirrels, which themselves were considered a pest and were killed by foresters in “untold numbers” in the 1900s, according to Stokstad. The war on the grays in the UK so far has only been successful in one area: Anglesey, a 714-square-kilometer island. While grays had been introduced there, they were eradicated by 2014 through a campaign that lasted more than 10 years. The island is now “fairly secure, because squirrels can reach it only by scampering across bridges,” Stokstad writes, but elsewhere in the UK, gray squirrels “likely outnumber reds 200 to one. While some conservationists are worried about the gray’s displacing

Larger and better adapted to living with humans, the eastern gray squirrel, introduced from North America, is displacing red squirrels in England, Ireland and northern Italy and is even threatening some redsquirrel populations in the U.S. our native red squirrel, pine squirrels such as the red prefer coniferous forest (hence the genus name), while the grays prefer deciduous forest, so are not often in competition. Places where the species and forest communities overlap, particularly in the Pacific Northwest, can be battlegrounds, but at least squirrelpox does not seem to be an issue in the US. Gray squirrels here carry a different strain of the virus than the grays in the UK, which doesn’t seem to have a big effect on our native reds. Even if the UK succeeds in

eradicating gray squirrels, it would be a drop in the bucket in stopping the threat posed by invasive nonnative species globally. And should we choose winners and losers, even if we can? While many factors are driving species to extinction and thus threatening biodiversity, introduction of invasive species and habitat destruction typically top the list. And we humans are not likely to escape the effects of this sixth global extinction, which was primarily caused by our species. © 2016 Pam Owen

Tips to combat packing stress when moving (StatePoint) From finding a new home to selling

one’s current home, the moving process can be a big

source of stress. Among the top stressors is packing. In fact, in a recent survey, commissioned by Duck brand, conducted online by Harris Poll, over half of Americans (56 per-

cent) say packing to move is extremely/very stressful. It doesn’t have to be this way. Here are some tips to reduce packing pain. • Purge before packing: Diminish the workload by

first cleaning out items you no longer need. • Pack carefully: Forty percent of those who would find it frustrating to pack when moving worry about items breaking. Eliminate anxiety by wrapping fragile items with cushioning material, like Bubble Wrap. Dish and glass kits provide pouches and dividers to protect delicate goods. Lastly, secure your boxes with quality packing tape, like EZ Start Packaging Tape. • Buy boxes: Scrambling to find enough boxes can be nerve wracking. Don’t dig around the grocery store last minute. Instead, purchase boxes in a variety of sizes and levels of durability from an easy to find brand like Duck brand. Then, color code each box with tape, to know where it goes on moving day. While moving will always contain some stress, the right moving supplies and strategies can streamline the task of packing.

Got to catch them all in Culpeper

For a second, I thought I’d stumbled into the zombie apocalypse. Sunday afternoon I drove my girls up to Vacation Bible School when I saw scores of people wandering Main Street. That wasn’t strange. What was strange was that they were all intently staring at their phones, like I do when I’m watching a Pirates game on my MLB app. Pretty sure that all these folks weren’t Bucco fans, I drove around a little more trying to figure out what was going on. Every turn I made, there were more people buried into their smart phones. At the State Theatre, the A.P. Hill building, the post office and even in front of our office here at the Culpeper Times people would stop and linger. Just as I pulled into our office to investigate, my phone began vibrating. Startled, I looked down. “There’s a beedrill nearby!” The push notification probably would have seemed strange, but I’ve played Pokemon on some sort of device for years. Then it dawned on me, Pokemon Go fever had hit Culpeper. Pokemon - short for pocket monster - was a phenomenon when I was in my early 20s. I never played the card game but would mess around with the games on Gameboy. I was familiar with the cartoon and understood the concept. Fast forward 15 years and now the little monsters are taking the world by storm again - even here in Culpeper. The concept behind Go - produced by

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Culpeper County Volunteer Fire Department is going to Akron The Culpeper County Volunteer Fire Department is proud to have its soap box derby car going to Akron, Ohio to compete in the World Championship this Saturday, July 16. The car is driven by Joey Kratochvil who won here at the local level. What makes this so special is that Joey’s father was a member of the Culpeper County Volunteer Fire Department until he lost his battle with cancer. On Sunday, June 26, the members of Culpeper Fire Department,

app developer Niantic with the license owned by Nintendo - merges reality and the Pokemon fantasy world. Utilizing your camera on your smartphone, the varied creatures (126 in all) appear to materialize in the real world. I just caught an Evee in my office. You flick a poke ball, catch the creature and collect them. After that, you can train your Pokemon at various gyms in the community to make them stronger and evolve them. Really, the app is ingenious because it promotes exercise without people realizing it. For example, you can receive rewards at Poke stops that include eggs. An egg will produce a Pokemon after you’ve walked a preset amount of time usually 5 km. The search on Google for the conversion of kilometers to miles has spiked, by the way. Not a coincidence. But what interested me was the Poke stops. I’m wasn’t sure how they were created, so I stopped down at The Shop owned by Jason Theis. Theis explained that many locations pay for the right to be a Poke stop, and the more people stop the more goodies are handed out - Poke Balls, eggs and what not. He said his son Landon has been into it more than him, but thinks the app while possibly being dangerous as people may drive while playing - is overall a good thing, “You see kids who would probably not leave the house and they are out exploring the world,” he said. Yowell Meadow Park has been a hot spot. So has the corner of Main and Davis where there are three Poke Stops - including the Gargoyle located on our office. The State Theatre saw a spike earlier in the week when someone set a lure nearby to attract Pokemon. State Theatre Executive Director Steven Barker said he was contemplating showing Pokemon movies

members of the Kratochvil family, Frankie Gilmore of the Soap Box Committee, and friends gathered at the Culpeper Firehouse for a special presentation. President Steve Corbin and Vice president Allen Seale presented Joey and his mother, Arline Rupard, with a contribution to help with expenses during their trip to Akron. President Steve Corbin explained that the Culpeper County Volunteer Fire Department has a special drink machine fund that all members contribute into for occasions like this. Joey and his mother were also presented with shirts that have the CCVFD logo on them. The department also provided enough shirts for all of their pit crew members and a special CCVFD shirt for Joey.

to capitalize on the phenomenon. News stories have popped up quickly about health risks, as people aren’t paying attention and have fallen into holes, stepped into traffic and walked into poles. Since the window in our office opens to Main Street, I’ve watched to see if anyone has stumbled into anything, but in the three days that I’ve worked since Go launched, I’ve seen nary a stumble. Maybe it’s because I’m aware of it, but I’ve noticed foot traffic has increased almost tenfold. Leaving work on Monday I watched three separate groups of four people searching for Pokemon and Poke Stops, wandering past our office and down to the Sugar Bottom Sign. It’s too many to list here, but the amount of Poke Stops and gyms in Culpeper still surprises me. If you have a full list and would like to share with your fellow “trainers” please add it to our Facebook page. Good luck and stay safe out there. Now excuse me, I’ve got to go “catch them all.”

The most gratifying and emotional part of the ceremony was when Joey was presented with the Culpeper County Volunteer Fire Department badge that his father had worn when he was a member. The Culpeper Fire Department is so proud of Joey and his participation in the soap box derby and representing our fire department. The only request that the Fire Department members had was for he and his family go have fun and enjoy this time in his life. The Culpeper Fire Department is glad to be a part of this organization and this young man’s life. Steve Corbin President Culpeper County Volunteer Fire Department

Bear activity closes trails in Shenandoah National Park Staff Report Trail closures are now in effect for the Big Run Portal Trail and the Big Run Loop in the South District due to bear activity. The Big Run Loop Trail is closed at Big Run Overlook and at the intersection with Rocky Top off of the A.T. between mile 82 and 83. The Big Run Portal Trail is closed at the Patterson Ridge Trail intersection. These closures will remain in place until further notice. Due to recent unusual bear activity, Shenandoah National Park has established two sets of closures in the South District of the park. Trail closures (closed to all visitor use) are in effect for the entire Big Run Loop Trail and the section of the Big Run Portal trail from the Big Run Loop to the Patterson Ridge Trail. Visitor access in this area of the park is prohibited. A camping closure is in effect along a portion of the Appalachian Trail (AT) from Browns Gap (mile 83 Skyline Drive) through the Loft Mountain Campground area. This approximately 2.5-mile camping closure does not impact Loft Mountain Campground, designated campsites or huts along the AT where camping is permitted. This closure only affects backcountry camping off the AT. Recently, an experienced backcountry hiker reported a bear that was unusually assertive in approaching him to obtain food. The hiker reported the bear was not responsive to normal efforts to scare him away (waving his arms and making loud noises) and approached closely enough that the hiker hit and poked the bear with hiking poles before he went away. “This is unusual and troubling behavior for a black bear” stated park wildlife biologist Rolf Gubler, “and in an abundance of caution, we are closing the hiking trails in that area until this incident can be investigated further and the bear behavior further assessed.” “If this behavior is repeated, this bear may have to be removed from the population” reported park Superintendent Jim Northup. These closures will be in effect until further notice. Black bears by nature tend to be wary of people. However, if you encounter a black bear while hiking or camping, follow these common-sense safety tips. l Never feed or approach a

Park regulations require at least 50 yards to safely view a bear. l Never store food or scented items (such as toothpaste) in your tent. l Remain calm if you encounter a bear. l Make the bear aware of your presence by speaking in an assertive voice, singing, clapping your hands or making other noises. l Make sure the bear has an escape route. l Avoid direct eye contact and never run from a bear. Instead, slowly back away. l To scare the bear away, make loud noises by yelling, banging pots and pans or using an air horn. Make yourself look as big as possible by waving your arms. If you are with someone else, stand close together with your arms raised above your head. l The bear may utter a series of huffs, make popping jaw sounds by snapping its jaws and swat the ground. These are warning signs that you are too close.

Lake Pelham Adventures opens Saturday Staff Report

Lake Pelham Adventures is the result of the state mandated dam renovation project, set to begin construction in 2017, which will cause the Town to close the existing boat access to Lake Pelham. Realizing the significant problem this would cause, staff identified the access point adjacent to The Ole Country Store and Bakery for a new boat ramp. Lake Pelham Adventures will provide continued access for water treatment to the Town's water supply, while permitting recreational opportunities for residents and visitors alike. “Capitalizing on this opportunity, a public private partnership has been cultivated to create a significant new asset for our community. This first phase is like planting a tiny mustard seed that with care will grow into a wonderful new recreational opportunity for Culpeper,” said Mayor Mike Olinger. Visit https://www.culpeperva. gov/Community/Lake-Pelham for more detailed information regarding rental procedures, operating

Once construction started it didn’t take long for the boat storage building to be completed. It was announced Friday that the Town of Culpeper in cooperation with The Ole Country Store and Bakery will open their new watercraft rental, Lake Pelham Adventures on Saturday, July 16, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. This opening will correspond with the “Meet the Amish Craftsmen” special event hosted by The Ole Country Store and Bakery. Located at The Ole Country Store & Bakery, off of Route 29 South in Culpeper, a grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony is planned at 11 a.m. Canoe, kayak, and paddleboard rentals will be available. Additional volunteers will be on hand during the opening event to assist with watercraft rental and renters should report to the watercraft storage facility to rent watercraft on July 16. Starting Monday, July 18, renters should report to The Ole Country Store and Bakery to rent watercraft.

How to change a tire Knowing how to change a tire is mostly helpful in case you get a flat while driving on the road. Every other time your tires get removed, rotated and/or replaced it will be by a tire technician. Every vehicle has instructions for using the jack and other tools as necessary to change the tire. Some of the details can vary by make and model, such as the storage location for the jack and spare tire. Consult the owner’s manual of the vehicle. Also, there will often be a sticker with instructions located with the jack and spare tire. Here are some general guidelines for changing xxx a tire (in order): l Make sure the vehicle is on stable, level ground Courtesy of ASE l Apply the parking brake l Remove the spare tire and tools from the vehicle l Use wheel chocks to block the wheels opposite of the wheel you’re changing (i.e. if you’re changing a rear tire, then put the chocks in front of the front wheels). l Loosen the lug nuts before lifting the vehicle, but do Culpeper: 540-727-8034 Orange: 540-661-1300 not remove Truck Services: 540-829-4999 l Pump or crank the jack to lift the vehicle using the proper lift points (see the owner’s manual for proper lifting points) l Remove the lug nuts l Remove the flat tire l Place the spare tire l Replace the lug nuts snug l Lower the vehicle l Torque the lug nuts (tighten them as much as possible after the vehicle has been lowered)

He is one of six co-defendants charged in the house party slaying November 1, 2014 in Culpeper on Cherry Hill Road. The conviction came as a result of a plea agreement between Branchcomb and the Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office in which Branchcomb agreed to plead guilty to the charge. The existing

The Little Stars of Virginia THE WINE NERD

Summer is a classic time Jim Hollingshead of year both for travel and, better yet, for entertaining travelling friends and family. There is no end to the ways to show your visitors the beauty of Virginia, and her native wines and vineyards are high on that list. Whether your guests are novice drinkers or full-fledged wine nerds like me (my condolences), they will easily fall under the spell and grandeur of the vines and barrels. When acting as their impromptu tour guides through the state, it is helpful to know a couple of simple, yet truly unique, stories that will forever leave the mark of Virginia upon their memories. The most famous grapes in our lovely state are always important; Viognier is our official state grape, and Cabernet Franc is more widely planted (and popular) than any other varietal. Both of these more famous grapes are also grown in many other parts of the world, albeit quite differently. There are two grapes that I believe are more intrinsic to the nature of Virginian wine, two grapes who are rarely found outside our borders, yet thrive in our challenging climate.

and lemon zest to more tropical pineapple, peach, and orange peel. Though this grape grows like a weed in our climate and has remarkably consistent high levels of sugar and acidity each year, it can be molded into a plethora of styles. From bone dry to semi-sweet, from citrus to tropical fruit, this white is the epitome of summer wine.

no delicate, soft red; this is a giant ready to battle your palate now or to grow old and gentle with aging. While other grapes often hold the spotlight, Petit Manseng and Petit Verdot both are truly unique to the Virginian experience. We may not have a total monopoly on these vines, but we certainly grow them both the most and the best. These beautiful children of our soil flourish here as never before, and can forever stand out in the memories of those

friends and family blessed enough to be visiting our beautiful home. And now, if you’ll excuse me, I am going to go pour myself a glass of Virginian wine. Cheers. Jim Hollingshead is The Wine Nerd at the Culpeper Cheese Company, and occasionally pretends to have other interests. You can reach him at 540827-4757 or jim@culpepercheese. com.

Conklin began serving as interim CNO in October and her official role became permanent in June. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maggie has tremendous expertise, compassion and understanding of the nursing industry,â&#x20AC;? said Greg Napps, CEO, Culpeper Medical Center. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is a patient Conklin and nursing advocate and we are excited to have her as a permanent member of our leadership team.â&#x20AC;?

And it gives me an opportunity to bring together my community and acute care experience so that we can improve the health care of the community.â&#x20AC;? Conklin received her bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s of science in nursing degree from the University of Vermont in Burlington, Vermont. She received her masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in public health, with a focus on healthcare administration, from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
