Tuesday evening a crowd of more than 600 gathered at Germanna's Daniel Technology Center for the 11th Annual Pamper Me Pink event. The brainchild of Pepperberrie's owner Sharon Welch Clark, it has been a community catalyst offering information, support and inspiration for those whose lives have been touched by cancer. Clark announced on stage that this would be her last year directly involved with Pamper Me Pink. She is passing the baton to Novant Health UVA Culpeper Hospital CEO Greg Napps who has been known to sport pink hair for the event that garners huge interest from local businesses and the community at large. Thank you for all of your committed work Sharon and congratulations Greg!

Culpeper Police prepare to deploy body worn cameras The Culpeper Police Department is committed to providing the highest quality police service to the community. As part of this commitment, the department has spent over two years testing, researching, and developing policy, for the implementation of body worn cameras. The department is pleased to announce that with the support of the Culpeper Town Council, and the community, all uniformed officers will soon be actively using their issued body worn camera. As the roll out of these cameras takes place the community is invited to communicate with the Police Department about the currently proposed policy and activation concerns. The first opportunity for the public to view the camera and provide feedback will be at the joint Neighborhood Watch Meeting, scheduled for Oct. 27, at 7 p.m. in the Police Department Community room. The second opportunity for public involvement will be Nov. 3 at 7 p.m. in the Police Department Community Room. The second meeting

will be devoted specifically toward the Department’s body worn camera program. In an effort to prepare for deployment, officers will be taking part in training related to Fair and Impartial Policing during the first week of November. All officers selected to be issued a body camera must attend this training. This program has become a national standard for agencies deploying body cameras. The cameras, which are manufactured by Taser, International, will provide the public another measure of transparency with its department. This new technology will allow the officer, and the public, another level of protection that was not previously available. Officers will be able to record encounters with the public, allowing for accountability by both parties. “This technology will help solve crimes, record and document evidence, and hold all parties accountable. This is a win for the community, made possible by the Culpeper Town Council’s approval of a budget that

recognized the importance of this project,” said Chief Chris Jenkins. Culpeper Police Department seeks Advanced Re-Accreditation Award The Culpeper Police Department is scheduled for our on-site assessment beginning Sunday, Nov. 6 through Wednesday, Nov. 9 to examine all aspects of our department's policies and procedures, management, operations, and support services. A two member assessment team will verify that the Culpeper Police Department meets the Commission on Accreditation of Law Enforcement Agencies, lnc. (CALEA) required state-of-the-art standards is part of a voluntary process to maintain advanced accreditation - a highly prized recognition of law enforcement professional excellence. The Culpeper Police Department received its initial accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, lnc. (CALEA) in 2005, and was re-

accredited in 2008, 2011, and again in 2014. As part of the on-site assessment, the department employees and members of the community are invited to offer comments at a public information session scheduled for Monday, Nov. 7 beginning at 6 p.m. in the Town of Culpeper's Economic Development Center located at 803 South Main Street in Culpeper, Virginia. The session will begin at 6 p.m. and continue until all present individuals have had an opportunity to provide comments. lf for any reason an individual cannot speak at the public information session, but would still like to provide comments to the assessment team, they may do so by telephone. The public may call (540) 727-3430 ext.5550 on Monday, Nov. 7, between the hours of 2 - 4 p.m. Telephone comments, as well as appearances at the public information session are limited to 10 minutes and must address the agency's ability to comply with CALEA standards.

Article X. Taxation and Finance. Section 6-B. Property tax exemptions for spouses of certain emergency services providers. Ballot Question: Shall the Constitution of Virginia be amended to allow the General Assembly to provide an option to the localities to exempt from taxation the real property of the surviving spouse of any lawenforcement officer, firefighter, search and rescue personnel, or emergency medical services personnel who was killed in the line of duty, where the surviving spouse occupies the real property as his or her principal place of residence and has not remarried? Proposed Amendment The proposed constitutional amendment authorizes the General Assembly to enact a law that would allow a locality to exempt from taxation the real property of the surviving spouse of any law-enforcement officer, firefighter, search and rescue personnel, or emergency medical services personnel who is killed in the line of duty. The exemption from taxation would cease if the surviving spouse remarries. The exemption would apply regardless of whether the spouse was killed in the line of duty prior to the effective date of this amendment but would apply only to those real property taxes to be paid on or after the effective date of this amendment. The exemption from taxation would apply to the surviving spouse’s principal place of residence, even if he or she moves to a new principal place of residence. The exemption would not require the surviving spouse to have been residing in the Commonwealth at the time his or her spouse was killed in the line of duty.

SWEET SUITES I don't know that I have been curious about something for so long and yet not investigated. It’s about this place that says "Suites at 249: A Boutique Hotel." It is the end unit of the building that sits next to the "LOVE" sculpture across from the Depot. Recently I satisfied my curiosity by stopping and talking with two employees, Victor Martinez and Michael Elliott. Victor is learning the ropes yet gave me some facts, but being employed longer Michael was most helpful. I know that there are six suites and I saw some information that said, "Featuring world class amenities in every room." There you have it! If you couple that with the downtown location then you have a great place to stay. Located at 249 E. Davis Street. You can reach them at 540-827-1100. ➤ Check out Rich’s blog at facesofculpeperva.blogspot.com and Faces of Culpeper on Facebook

This Saturday marks the third annual running of the Girls on the Run-Piedmont’s fall 5K, hosted by Verdun Adventure Bound in scenic Rixeyville. Pre-run activities start at 8 a.m. the 5K begins at 9:30 a.m. Last year, organizers were delighted with the turnout and committed to expanding the Girls on the Run program. Family, friends and supporters ran alongside the young ladies enrolled in the 10week program. “This year marks our third 5K run, we are excited to announce that it is an even bigger party than last year. We have added more activities for our girls, as well as the community at large. Numerous community partners have added family friendly activities to our event, including Kid Central, S.A.F.E., Young Lives, MedExpress and others,” said Kathy Butler, council director of Girls on the Run-Piedmont. Describing last year’s 5K as a “party” as well as an empowering athletic accomplishment certainly fits. There were cartwheels across the finish line, friends encouraging friends and runners carrying flowers. At one moment there were three generations of women crossing the finish line side-by-side. After receiving a medal many runners danced, hugged and posed for a few congratulatory selfies. One would be hard-pressed to find

a more joyous group of runners as they traversed a substantial hill at the twomile mark of last year’s run. Observers could see the inner strength of each runner awakening and blossoming with each stride as they conquered hills with a confident and pounding heart. Girls on the Run- Piedmont (GOTR), is a program that encourages young girls from 3rd-8th grade to build inner confidence, embrace the person they are, rise to any challenge and go out and change the world for the better. Over a period of 10 weeks, girls participate in an afterschool program designed to allow every girl to recognize her inner strength, the GOTR curriculum asks girls to define their lives on their own terms, according to its mission statement. The program uses running as a vehicle to inspire personal growth, build friendships and create teamwork. The 5K held at the program’s conclusion is the culmination of training to achieve a goal. Along this journey new friends are made, more confident girls emerge and runs became more fun. Another essential element of the event’s success is the beautiful course offered by Verdun Adventure Bound, a proud supporter of the program. “Verdun has been a great partner for GOTR Piedmont. They have graciously opened their facility to us not only for our 5K for the last 3 years, but this past summer we held our coach training session there as well,” said Butler. “Our growth has been astounding since last year. We had 127 girls this season, compared to 73 last year and 43 girls during our first season. We are at nine different sites in Culpeper and Fauquier County. We also were able to launch our new middle school program, called Heart & Sole. Our growth ➤ See Run, Page 5

Culpeper Times • October 27-November 2, 2016 ➤ Run from Page 4 continues as we are looking to do our first ever spring season in 2017, with a pilot in two new counties Madison and Rappahannock.” Each runner runs for personal goals, each one brings a unique and often inspiring story, according to organizers. “I was really inspired this year to hear about a girl from one of our returning sites. Last year, she mostly walked and wasn’t too eager to participate. So, you wondered if she gained anything from the lessons,” explained Butler. “Our coaches reported that this year… not only is she still participating but she is eager and excited to work with the team. She is running constantly. As a coach this can be challenging and it makes you wonder, but these girls hear everything and you never know when they will bloom and when it does, it is amazing. It is really the heart of our program to be patient, all girls grow at their own pace and the lessons are rotated every year to help the girls that repeat the program to look at the lessons and ideas from a different angle.” The growth of the program has challenged organizers to find more room for pre-race activities and add a few new features. “The newest feature to our run includes changes to the 5K course due to the volume of girls and participants. We are expecting around 300 runners. Verdun no longer had enough indoor space for all our pre-race GOTR activities,” said Butler. “All the activities are outside this year and we will be at the amphitheater. We are also excited to have representatives from Team Jordan and the Blue Ridge

Orthopedic Foundation awarding the finisher medals to our GOTR and Heart & Sole participants. These two foundations are major supporters of our program and we are thrilled to have them participate in this big day of celebration for our girls.” Aside from creating women of power and grace there is an inspiring intergenerational aspect to the event—grandmothers, moms, dads and even little brothers running alongside GOTR participants. There is a tangible community surrounding each young runner. “My life has been enriched in so many ways by being a part of this amazing organization. I am honored to sit on the Board of the Piedmont Council among some amazing women. As a coach of the Heart & Sole program this year, I have taken each lesson to heart and applied them into my life as they are just as important for Big Girls too,” commented Julie Lohr, of Madison, a businesswomen, publisher of Inspire Magazine and local health advocate. “I am most excited to be bringing this program to Madison County in the spring of 2017 in hopes of making a difference in young girls’ lives in my hometown so that they may truly believe in their limitless potential to change the world. GOTR is so much fun.” Like most nonprofits there are challenges to generate funding and continue the positive work. GOTR is a relatively young council and its entire staff is made up of volunteers. Its funding comes directly from the community. The program is always looking for more volunteers, coaches and support.

USINESSES TO KNOW IN & AROUND OUR COMMUNITY

It’s a new day at the Flint Hill Public House By Anita Sherman STAFF WRITER

Chef de Cuisine Calen Payne is preparing for dinner. Busy in the kitchen, he takes a break to share his vision for what will appear on the plates of visiting foodie aficionados. His enthusiasm is contagious. Hailing from The Plains, Payne has more than 10 years of working in kitchens most recently at The Front Porch. “I’m excited,” said Payne, “not only about preparing food but educating as well...taking food to its essence... we want to draw influences from Asian food and Southern and Italian cuisine.” When Payne talks ‘we,’ he is referring to Executive Chef Nate Myers, a graduate of the Baltimore Culinary School, who also happens to own the Chesapeake Bay Chip Company. Myers was at Whippletree Farm scouting out fresh vegetables and herbs. “Real cooks know real cooks,” said Payne with a knowing smile. As the two head into November, you can be

assured that their creative genius will bring something new to the tables at the Flint Hill Public House. For those who enjoy a really good steak, don’t worry, they will remain on the menu but come with an eye and taste for new discoveries as well. Very new on the scene is General Manager Dan Myers. Yes, he is Nate’s brother. “We want people to come hungry and come often,” laughed Myers who, like the two chefs, has visions to make the restaurant more inviting and perhaps not so intimidating in his view. ‘I’d like to make the interior warmer, softer,” says Myers. For more than 60 years, the historic building served as a school. Then as a rustic restaurant with a definitely country feel. When William Waybourn and Craig Spaulding purchased the building a few years ago they gutted the interior and brought a lot of Washington D.C. sheek and modern elegance plus added beautiful suites to the upstairs. The walls of the restaurant are filled with artwork - some from

their own art gallery and some from Long View Gallery. It’s an eclectic ambiance that greets customers and Myers wants to build on and blend that into an exciting and comfortable eating environment experience. Director of Marketing Kim McCusker knows that the restaurant experience has, of late, been inconsistent. She wants former and prospective customers to know that a new chapter is enfolding and there will be enriched stories to share. “We have a vision...we’ve been looking for the best fit of personnel and we have that now,” said McCusker of their new general manager and formally trained chefs. She is particularly excited about their Thanksgiving Day menu offerings when the two teams from The Front Porch in The Plains and Flint Hill will come together for a beautiful day of harvest favorites. “We’re going to elevate the food and we want people to feel comfortable coming whether they’re dressed up or wearing dirty boots...it’s all good,” says McKusker, “we want people to come, experience and enjoy.” “We look for more wholesome en-

General Manager Dan Myers and Director of Marketing Kim McCusker welcome everyone to experience the new energy and culinary offerings now on the menu.

trees, lots of locally sourced foods and a price point for everyone.” Myers echoed her sentiments. “Things had gotten kind of old... we’re bringing new life and energy. It’s a new day at Flint Hill.”

BEHIND THE BADGE Big and bold, this sergeant steps up to the plate Jim Fox, from the first time he stepped into the Culpeper County Courthouse as a bailiff, created the impression that he does today when he walks into a room of strangers: broad shouldered, an open friendly way with people and signature apple red cheeks. One gets the impression this is a way with the world that has been passed down through the generations. His great-grandfather was Wilmer McLean, the farmer who witnessed the beginning of the Civil War at the Battle of Bull Run in Prince William County. McLean moved to Appomattox with the intent to get as far removed from hostilities as he could. The war followed and in 1865 General Lee and General Grant met in Mclean’s front parlor to sign the surrender documents which effectively ended the war. “We donated Wilmer’s baby shoes to a museum,” Fox said. It was one of the last mementos from that time still in the family’s possession. Appropriately enough, Fox grew

Jim Fox

First Sergeant, Culpeper County Sheriff’s Office Accreditation Age: 50 Family: Married, 8 children, 2 grandchildren Hobbies: Fishing and Leisure sports up in Northern Virginia, attended Robert E. Lee High school where he played baseball, football and track. In 1985 he joined the Navy serving four years as a damage control man for the Assault Ship Pensacola. He returned to Fairfax but his sister lived in Culpeper. He liked the rural atmosphere here and took a job with the Co-op -- and before joining up with the Sheriff’s Office he worked for a local farmer, Commonwealth Propane and a builder. But on a chance conversation with a deputy, Fox decided to apply for a position with then Culpeper Sheriff Roger Mitchell. Within six months

of joining the office Fox took a bailiff’s position. He never looked back. If there is a position within the Sheriff’s Office Fox has probably filled it: jail, road deputy, bailiff, investigator, Public Information Officer, and now Office Accreditation compliance. He says he “loves” the job. “I like the ability to help people,” he said of being in law enforcement. The veteran First Sergeant says that through the years he has applied his “rule of thumb: treat people like you want to be treated.” You get the idea that perhaps Wilmer Mclean lived by the same rule of thumb. “I remember Jim when he first started working at the Sheriff’s office,” Culpeper Sheriff Scott Jenkins said. “He did a great job at the courthouse under Sheriff Mitchell.” “When I returned as sheriff a few years ago Jim did a good job handling our reaccreditation process. In any position he does his best to better the office,” Jenkins said.

HOME & GARDEN When you find snake eggs In July, Sperryville resident Virginie Audrain sent me some photos of eggs she and her companion, stonemason Jim Carter, found in one of the compost piles they use to fertilize their gardens. Virginie, who is still recovering from the terrible automobile accident she had in January, has been spending

a lot of time gardening and enjoying the recuperative powers of nature, she says. She had contacted me last year, before the accident, to report seeing a snapping turtle laying eggs in one of her flower gardens. She patiently kept an eye on the spot, but no baby snappers ever emerged. Virginie was hoping to have better

luck with the 24 reptile eggs she and Jim found this year, within days of when the eggs were laid. She described them in her email: “They have a weird texture, compared to chicken eggs. . . The turtle eggs were looking round like a golf ball. We are thinking snakes, but what kind?” The eggs in the photos definitely looked like those of a snake — and a large one. One way to tell snake eggs from those of a turtle are the former’s oblong, soft but leathery shell. Considering where the eggs are formed (inside the snake’s elongated, narrow uterus) and how the snake moves (slithering along the ground), the shape and soft shell are good adaptations. Turtle egg shells are harder and generally smaller relatively speaking, because they have to pass through a narrow gap between the upper and lower shells of the female. While the eggs Virginie and Jim found were mottled, one of the two

Virginie Audrain and her companion, Jim Carter, found 24 snake eggs in their garden compost pile, most likely from an eastern ratsnake or red cornsnake.

herp experts I contacted about the eggs reminded me that most reptile eggs are white or cream, and mottling usually comes from the substrate in which they are laid (compost in this case). I remembered that the same issue had come up when my landlord found the eggs of a lizard, a five-lined skink, under a board. It stands to reason these snakes and lizards would not need to camouflage their eggs, like many birds do, because their eggs are hidden.

➤ Snake, from Page 8

PHOTO BY PAM OWEN

The snake eggs several weeks later, apparently decimated by exposure to the elements, invertebrates, fungi or all three.

In trying to figure out which snake species had laid the eggs, the one thing I did know was that the eggs were not from our area’s two venomous snake species, both pit vipers — the northern copperhead or the eastern timber rattlesnake. Both of these species give birth to live young. They gestate the eggs, which only have a clear membrane rather than a shell, inside their bodies. The eggs also didn’t come from a northern watersnake, a harmless species that Virginie had reported seeing near the house, because it, too, gives birth to live young rather than eggs. The herp experts further narrowed the field to a northern black racer

(Coluber constrictor constrictor), red cornsnake (Pantherophis guttatus) or eastern ratsnake (Pantherophis alleghaniensis). The latter two are in the same genus and have similar-sized eggs (1-2 inches in length). My vote was for the ratsnake because there are so common in our area, and Virginie later told me that they had seen ratsnakes on the property but not black racers or corn snakes. Racers lay their eggs earlier in the year, so they were also ruled out. To help save the eggs, I suggested Virginie and Jim make a smaller compost pile away from their garden area and transfer the eggs into that. Having a slow internet connection, Virginie is not online that much, and I was hugely busy when she contacted me, so email was going slowly both ways. She eventually wrote to say she noticed the new pile with the eggs looked a bit dried out and wrote that she had not thought to hydrate it. I had also not thought about hydration for the eggs, so hadn’t suggested it but should have. Snake eggs are produced with little fluid in them, to keep the volume of the eggs small and manageable before they are laid. Once laid, the eggs absorb water needed for the embryos’ development from the substrate through their leathery, highly permeable shells. Eastern ratsnakes, with which I have the most experience, primarily from my hanging around stables as a kid, love a soft, damp — but not wet — substrate, such as manure, sawdust or compost. In reading up on corn snakes, I found they prefer similar sites for their eggs. I didn’t get a chance to follow up on the status of the eggs until midSeptember, at which point the hatching of eastern ratsnakes is typically underway, lasting through mid-October. I visited Virginie, who showed me the compost pile to which she and Jim had transferred the eggs. It was pretty small and shallow, and I thought that it might not have protected the eggs from the high summer heat and a recent dry spell, and even from too much water from some pretty torrential storms this summer. In poking around in the pile, I discovered the eggs just below the surface, definitely not viable and showing signs of being fed on by invertebrates and fungi. It looked like they’d been that way for some time, so it’s not clear exactly why they didn’t survive. Finding snake eggs was a new situation for Virginie, and for me, but we both learned from it. With plenty of eastern ratsnakes and red corn snakes around, it likely won’t be the last time she and Jim find similar eggs in their compost. © 2016 Pam Owen Pam Owen is a writer, editor, photographer and passionate nature conservationist living in Rappahannock County in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

Tuesday evening a crowd of more than 600 gathered at Germanna's Daniel Technology Center for the 11th Annual Pamper Me Pink event. This year's special guest speaker and cancer survivor was Matthew Paul Mewhorter. A 37-year-old Culpeper local, Matthew was diagnosed with colon cancer two years ago at age 35. He was joined on stage by his three year old daughter, Annie. Shortly after being diagnosed with cancer, Matthew began a comic series titled "Cancer Owl" in which he depicted the challenges of battling cancer. Now cancer free, Matthew still keeps the series going, however, the stories that are told are those that are shared with him by his readers and fans who are currently battling the disease. His website is www.cancerowl.com.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Supervisors need to take another look at proposed cell tower in Boston Greetings to my Culpeper County Neighbors, My name is Lucie and I am the 5th Generation Lucie of Elmwood Farm, which many of you know is directly across 522 from the Old Boston Store. My great-greatgrandmother Lucie Eastham married William Browning in 1871 and then passed along Elmwood to my great-grandmother Lucie Browning, who married JEB Stuart Leavell of Melville in 1896 and propagated the rest of us. I am writing to you to express my concerns about the 255 foot cell phone tower proposed behind the Boston Store, just across Scenic Byway 522 from Elmwood Farm, which is a registered National Historic Landmark. Since this intended project was announced only three short weeks ago, I have had the opportunity to meet many of you for the first time. It has been fun to hear the many speculative stories about who the Elmwood Farm Family is. To clarify, we are 14 owners in total, four from the 4th generation and 10 from the 5th, with the

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Thank you for your support The 2016 Tri-County Walk Committee would like to thank Walkers of Culpeper, Madison and Orange Counties, sponsors and volunteers for their generosity and support with this year’s 2016 TriCounty Walk to End Alzheimer’s. Close to 200 individuals participated in this year’s WALK raising over $44,000 to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of

6th generation well on its way to maturity. We have one common goal, which is the preservation of our collective heritage here in Culpeper County. Let me set one thing straight before we go forward: we are 100 percent in favor of our neighbors finally receiving cell and internet coverage, and for all of the critical and non-critical needs that come along with that being met. However, we are dismayed and deeply concerned about the manner in which Culpeper County has rushed this project forward. Furthermore, the county has failed to look at all of the options available to get our neighbors coverage. A member of the [Culpeper] County Planning Commission, it is believed, circulated a petition asking our neighbors simply if the citizens of Boston want cell phone coverage or not, which of course most of us do. The county conducted a hearing on Oct. 12 and gave the public only a 16-day notice of this hearing. Why the rush? And now they are set to fast track the vote by Nov. 1, while they have barely let the public know anything about all of the issues of this project and they have failed to comply with county, state and federal law in a list too long to explain in this letter. My family made a decision 20 years ago after a fire at our Old Home Place to not pursue only

brain health. This outstanding show of support proves that our community truly cares about a world without Alzheimer’s. A special thanks to the many “WALK to End Alzheimer’s” volunteers who worked to make the WALK a success.” Your dedication is greatly appreciated. We also appreciate the generosity of our corporate sponsors, local businesses and community organizations. The WALK would not be possible without your support.

personal profit and an easeful future, but to collectively shed blood, sweat and tears to preserve our heritage. We chose not to sell Elmwood to developers, forsaking tremendous personal profit and instead chose the path of historical preservation so that our and all of our children would have the chance to remember from where we have all come. There are options available to the county to meet the critical needs of our neighbors, but sadly this debate has turned into an either/ or discussion: either we get cell coverage or we don’t. I urge the [Culpeper] County Board of Supervisors (BOS) to consider all of the options available, and to not limit the scope of inquiry for our neighbors, who don't have endless hours of free time to research and understand county, state and federal Law and thus rely on the BOS to make an honest and complete representation of the facts. This 255 foot tower will line the pockets of developers who seek to use historic Boston to provide coverage for a much larger area than only Culpeper County. This 255 foot tower violates many laws but here are the ones that are the most concerning: - choosing a site only 401 feet from the nearest residence, Mrs. Groene of Boston VA, whose home will now be in danger of being crushed if more mega storms keep

Having a representative with an economics and budgetary background gives the Republican party a major boost.

coming up the East Coast, because her home is not the 510 feet away legally required to not be crushed by a falling tower. Furthermore, they have not gotten the approval of Mrs. Groene to waive her legal right to not have a cellphone tower fall on her home. - choosing a site that is only 1500 feet from Scenic Byway 522, despite the law requiring such a tower to be at least 1 mile from the nearest Scenic Byway - failure to document the investigation and explanation of why the Boston carriers could not be placed on any of the 34 existing and available tower structures, as shown in the county's inventory -failure to use designated towers areas already engineered by the county to provide Boston with coverage while also mitigating negative impact. I urge the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors to change course and start to follow the law, instead of the whimsical frenzied rush this project has turned into. Please vote NO on Nov. 1 and demand that the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors fully inform the public of all of the options, so that we can collectively make the very best choice, not only to preserve our past, but to serve our future.. Lucie James Vogel Elmwood Farm

His understanding of what needs to be done and how to get it done is what makes it imperative that the voters return Dave Brat to Congress. He does not confuse "effort" with "results." His common sense approach to problem solving is a welcome sight in Congress. In order to ensure a positive future for our country, vote for Dave Brat for Congress. Marvin F.

Enamored with a ‘makerspace’ Tucked in a dilapidated old building in Hampton Roads sits the future. Until a few weeks ago, I had never heard of a “makerspace,” but thanks to my Lead Culpeper class, I quickly received a crash course into the wild world of hands on education. I first heard the phrase during a viewing of “Most Likely To Succeed,” a film screened by the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce. I’m going to be completely honest, when I saw two hours blocked off for a movie at our September Lead meeting, I thought “oh man, I’ll need a lot of coffee to stay awake.” I was wrong. Highlighting the efforts of Hi-Tech High in California and discussing how to further education through hands on learning, the movie was captivating and spotlighted the importance of makerspaces. OK, so now you’re wondering what is a makerspace? It’s simply a safe location where people can share ideas, create them using high-tech machinery and share their projects with the general public. Two weeks after watching “Most Likely To Succeed,” our Lead group took a field trip to 757 Makerspace in Norfolk. As we drove past the makerspace on the way to lunch, I almost had to look twice. It’s unassuming, maybe a little run down (let’s call it well-loved) and not someplace where you would expect to see a 3D printer. Once inside, your misconceptions are quickly changed. It’s a location where imaginations can run wild and is heartily encouraged by creator Beau Turner and his crew. In one office space is a laser etcher, in another sits a 3D printer, in yet another is a plastic forge and in the back sits a myriad of wood crafting tools. Now in its third year of existence, the project came about after Turner

Turner laughs at the story now, as his 9-year-old came in with enthusiasm and met a grizzled scientist with his arms crossed. The scientist explained they had just sent a probe into space and the technology needed to do so. Turner’s son answered they did something similar with a 3D printer at their house. The scientist argued his accomplishment was more impressive and Turner was afraid he’d have to haul his young child away from a fight. But the two crossed generations as they discussed the science behind the project and then spent 30 minutes sharing information. It was that spark of imagination that led Turner to think of a location that would allow other children and community members to express themselves. Now year memberships, quarterly

memberships and even daily memberships are offered, allowing residents to stop in to make whatever project their heart desires. For children, it’s especially important Turner said because it’s design-based learning. They’re more likely to remember something they’ve worked on. He calls his little space that could “an island of misfit toys” and it resembles that with bamboo poles hanging from the ceiling, gargantuan cartoon faces on the walls and a stack of cassettes creating a table in the corner. It’s also an island of creative thoughts, and one any community would benefit from. Hopefully, someone steps up to the plate in Culpeper - I have a table I want to laser etch and don’t have the spare change to buy one. Help a builder out...

relocate in Virginia. This amendment makes it unconstitutional for unions or special interests to force an employee to pay dues to a union as a condition of employment. I encourage all Virginians to vote ‘yes’ on Question One. No one should be forced to pay union dues to keep their job, and Right-to-Work protects the rights of workers to make that determination

without a mandate from the government. This amendment will help our Commonwealth’s economy thrive. Almost 40 percent of manufacturers insist on working in Right-to-Work states and we want to keep Virginia on that list. Sen. Bryce Reeves 17th Senate District of Virginia

Town of Culpeper Holiday Refuse Collection Schedule

IN BRIEF

'Please don’t forget' On Tuesday, The Salvation Army launched a major “Please Don’t Forget” Christmastime campaign to bring joy into the homes and hearts of an estimated 2,000 local children and families in urgent need. “Even with so much attention on the election, this is one ‘campaign’ we think people of every political stripe can endorse,” says Lt Martin. “Our goal is to meet human need in Culpeper and Warrenton without discrimination, to make sure boys and girls who have frequently gone without receive meals, warm clothing, gifts, and other vital resources.” Lt Martin cited a number of alarming area trends that make this year’s effort especially critical: l The local economy remains in a difficult position, with many people unemployed, underemployed, or out of the workforce altogether. Meanwhile, prices continue rising for commodity goods and services. l Food insecurity is a growing challenge in our community, especially for single mothers. “No one should ever be hungry on Christmas, especially not children,” says Lt Martin. l Home foreclosures are still painfully high. Lower-income families that have saved patiently can see modest nest eggs wiped out by a single

illness, accident, or layoff. With those factors in mind, Lt Martin has a simple request to people of good will in Culpeper and Warrenton: “Please Don’t Forget” your neighbors in need. You will never give a more meaningful gift — or one that provides more joy.” For more information about Christmas programs and events planned by The Salvation Army, call 540-349-8076. To support this effort, look for a Salvation Army bell ringer with a red kettle or give online at www.salvationarmyusa.org. If you or someone you know needs help this holiday season, go to www. salvationarmyusa.org to learn more about available resources.

Brandy Road concrete medians to be removed The Town of Culpeper will remove segments of the concrete medians located on Brandy Road at the intersection of Brandy Road and Montanus Drive on Thursday, Oct. 27. Crews will begin after 8 a.m. and should be completed by 3 p.m.

Town Offices will be closed Friday, Nov. 11, in observance of the Veterans Day holiday. Trash and recycling schedule will be as follows: Monday 11/7/16: Regular refuse collection cardboard pickup Tuesday 11/816: Regular refuse schedule Wednesday 11/9/16: Regular refuse schedule Thursday 11/10/16: Thursday and Friday’s refuse collection Friday 11/11/16: Holiday, no refuse collection Carts need to be out by 6:30 a.m. on your day of collection.

weather permitting. The modification of the concrete medians at this location will facilitate the addition of a new left turn lane from Montanus Drive onto Brandy Road that will be delineated with new pavement markings and signage. The new left turn lane will help alleviate peak traffic congestion that occurs at this commercial intersection. “Motorists are encouraged to pay attention to changing conditions within the safety work zone,” said Assistant Public Works Director Gary Wise.

Paving at Yowell Meadow Park Superior Paving Corporation will be performing asphalt paving operations on the Yowell Meadow Park trails and parking lots beginning Monday, Oct. 31, 2016. During this time, segments of the trail will be closed to the public with work zones established by the contractor for allowing safe vehicular and pedestrian traffic. Weather permitting, this project should be completed by midNovember 2016.

Look for their new boxes in 50 locations throughout Culpeper with their new label, “Culpeper Toy Chest” Nov. 1 through Dec. 12. This year, since they went as an independent entity, they only had 50 boxes and labels printed in attempt to place them in fewer locations and keep their cost down. This may change in the future, as more funds come in, however, their goal is to provide for the children not spend money on more boxes. If businesses want to collect, they will be happy to pick up your toys. As in the past, Clore-English Funeral Home and Culpeper Toy Chest is NOT responsible for qualifying any of the families that receive the toys collected. This process is handled directly through the Culpeper Community Christmas Basket Program (Sue Jenkins-825-7768), S.A.F.E. (Services to Abused Families- 825-8891- Karen) and C.C.D.C. (Culpeper Community Development Corp.-825-7434- Cheryl Carter) These agencies work closely with Social Services of Culpeper to ensure that those families in need get food, shelter and this time of year, gifts for their children.

Hunters—Be safe in the woods and wear your blaze orange The Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) would like to remind hunters that an enjoyable day in the woods begins with hunting safely. First and foremost, DGIF wants to stress to sportsmen/ women and persons accompanying a hunter that during the muzzleloader deer hunting season blaze orange must be worn at all times when moving to and from a stand location. During the general firearms season, every hunter or person accompanying a hunter must wear blaze orange at all times. Blaze orange must be visible from 360 degrees and display at least 100 square inches of solid blaze orange material. In addition, all hunters are encouraged to strictly follow three basic rules for hunting safety: l Treat every firearm as if it were

loaded. l Control the direction of your muzzle at all times, only pointing at what you intend to shoot. l Before shooting, identify your game and what is beyond. Hunters using tree stands should follow this advice: l Always use a full-body harness to secure yourself in the stand and while climbing/descending. Maintain three points of contact while climbing. l Use a haul line to get your unloaded gun or bow into and out of the tree stand. Never climb with equipment. l Keep portable tree stands in good working condition and inspect permanent tree stands thoroughly before using. Home-made stands are not recommended. l Stay alert and awake. If you start to nod off, get back to the ground. Online Hunter Education courses are now available for ages 12 and above. Parents often attend their children’s hunter education class so they can spend time together while getting ready for the hunting season. The Hunter Safety Education program emphasizes hunting ethics, safety, and individual responsibility. Specific seasons and bag limits are outlined in the Hunting & Trapping in Virginia 2016-2017 regulation booklet available at no cost from license agents and the Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. The regulations can also be viewed on the Department’s web site, www.dgif.virginia.gov.

It was a festive occasion at the Holiday Inn Express on Wednesday as Suge Foods launches. Local and global business friends as well as team members gathered to celebrate. Pictured (l-r) Brad Schneider, Tonya Wallace, Susan Kikai who is Deputy Governor from the County Government of Kericho, Kenya, Andrew Suge, Rudolph Travers, Bernard Rotich, and Chris Morton.

Making the Kenyan connection By Anita L. Sherman STAFF WRITER

Andrew Suge was born in Kericho County in the country of Kenya. His memories growing up are filled with the aromas of tea and coffee. Now decades later, living in Culpeper, his plans are to bring some of his native Kenyan heritage home. First importing fine teas, Culpeper Tea Imports, Suge is making the move to expand his business. Called Suge Foods, he, along with a relatively new team consisting of Tonya Wallace, Rudolph Travers and Chris Morton plan to expand doing wholesale, bulk and import distribution of various food items both domestically and internationally. Coming directly from the farmers of Kericho County, Kenyan Coffee will arrive ready to be sold wholesale and bulk to coffee roasters, like Starbucks, who will then put their own unique roasting brand on them. Suge Foods will focus on mainly business to business. “Due to the numerous requests from other companies who were seeking to get tea and coffee in bulk and at wholesale prices, we made the determination to revise and review our markets. On the other hand, since we are now SWaM certified in Virginia, we now have the opportunity as well to bid on the eVA system for the Set-Aside bids. This was a door of opportunity; that has allowed us to work with other bulk consumer products and directly with several foods manufacturers and distributors,” remarked Suge who was very excited to welcome a friend and fellow business collaborative Deputy Governor of Kericho County, Kenya Susan Kikwai who had come from Kenya for the announcement. She spoke to her county’s production of tea and coffee worldwide and of her mission to explore economic

opportunities between America and Kenya. By bringing in the beans in their purest state, potential clients like big box stores Costco or Wegmans could take that product and refine it to their own roasting tastes. Bernard Rotich is considered a connoisseur when it comes to tasting tea. For him, it’s about quality of life and quality of food products all things that he sees happening as Suge Foods expands their reach in the global marketplace. And their offices are here in Culpeper on Davis Street. To learn more, contact Andrew Suge toll free at 1-877-335-1262 or AndrewS@sugefoods.com

From America to Switzerland with Gruyere love JEFFERY MITCHELL

What constitutes a best Gruyere cheese display? I ask as the reply to the question is one that I am pondering. Pondering because the right (or best answer) has been dangled before me to win a free trip to Le Gruyere, Switzerland. Is the “best” display several stacked 80-pound wheels of Switzerland’s famous Gruyere cheese? Impressive (and costly) to be sure, but what about taking this stack and carving out a diorama of the Canton of Fribourg? Fribourg you see is the “county” in which Gruyere is made. In your mind can you picture a diorama of Fribourg (albeit in miniature) carved out of cheese? Maybe the contest is getting me to overthink the question. Perhaps another direction altogether is in order. Envision, if you will, a kinetic sculpture created in the style of Swiss sculptor Jean Tinguely’s creations. A kinetic sculpture that

The production of cheese in the region can be traced back to 1115. It continues nowadays according to a well-tried recipe in the village cheese dairies of its native land – the district of La Gruyère in the Canton of Fribourg (Switzerland) – but also in the cantons of Vaud, Neuchâtel, and Jura, as well as in a few municipalities of Bern.

“He deserves to be here” ➤ Honoring Culpeper Citizens who gave their lives in service to their country By Anita L. Sherman STAFF WRITER

Elizabeth Pycha remembers her brother George as an avid reader and talented young artist. “We have saved many of his pieces of artwork,” said Pycha as she sat calmly on one of the park benches at the Wine Street Memorial Park last Friday. At 18, George Franklin Jenkins was drafted into the U.S. Marine Corps, in February of 1943. He left on a bus from Culpeper to Washington, D.C. “That’s how they did it then, they traveled to Washington,” said Pycha. Jenkins was sent to Pensacola, Florida for training. In July of that year, he, along with two others, were killed in a training exercise. While he didn’t see the shores of Normandy, he certainly gave his life for his country and Pycha wants him to be remembered. Living not far from the Wine Street Memorial she remembers when the ‘Homage’ statue designed by Kansas sculptor Jim Brothers was dedicated. She also remembers that her brother’s name did not appear along with the other 48 names of those who lost their lives from Culpeper during World War II. She brought her disappointment to the attention of Keith Price who now sits on town council and who was instrumental in having the monument erected and in compiling the list of names to appear permanently etched in stone. Price is also president of the local chapter of Veterans of Foreign Wars. “We were so careful when we compiled that list,” remembers Price, “we didn’t want anyone who lived in Culpeper to be left off if they served.” What Price discovered was that Jenkins, who had lived in Culpeper in 1943 when he was drafted had missed their list because his paperwork was done in Washington, D.C. During the last few months and requiring approval from the Culpeper Town Council, it was soundly recommended that George Franklin Jenkins be added to the monument. “As it turns out, since his last name begins with a “J,” it worked

Her brother's name was added to the Homage monument. out nicely,” said Price what while not in exact alphabetical order, Jenkins appears with other names ending in J. For Pycha, it was a beautiful way to begin the day visiting one of her favorite places in Culpeper. “I watch all the little children playing here...they are like little flowers,” said Pycha. Members of Culpeper’s Town Council as well as members of VFW Color Guard were on hand for the quiet yet powerful moment when, thanks to the skill of Bob Clore, her brother’s name was added to the monument. Pycha’s first husband James Garnett served in the U.S. Navy and was a member of the VFW Color Guard. Her late husband Norman Walter Pycha served in the U.S. Air Force. She shared vivid memories of horrific stories told to her by brothers that served during the Korean War. “They couldn’t take off their boots and they’d be knee deep in swamps and bogs,” she recalled sadly. “The skin on their feet would peel off.” With her brother’s name added to the Homage monument, it brings to 49 the number from Culpeper who died during World War II. “We should kiss the ground every day that the Lord planted us here,” smiled Pycha as she gazed lovingly at her brother’s name now permanently etched into history.
