Salute to our Veterans Culpeper Minutemen honored by SAR, DAR By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

At the site where they gathered more than 200 years ago, the Culpeper Minutemen were honored June 10. Members of the Sons and Daughters of the American Revolution called out names of 12 of the nearly 500 men who joined the Culpeper militia in 1775. “It’s critical,” Virginia Sons of the American Revolution 3rd Vice President Bill Schwetke said of remembering the Minute Men. “It’s part of our heritage of Culpeper, Orange, Fauquier, Rappahannock, Madison and Greene counties.” In the fall of 1775, residents of Culpeper, Fauquier and Orange counties formed a “Minute Battalion” mustered in Clayton’s Old Field, now nestled in the back of Yowell Meadow Park. They formed 10 companies which took the name “Culpeper Minutemen.”

They drilled there and adopted a uniform of green hunting shirts, emblazoned with “Liberty or Death.” On Oct. 26, 1775, several of the Culpeper Minutemen, armed with rifles, responded to an alarm of a British attack by ships in Hampton. According to Schwetke, their accurate fire drove off the British and caused one small vessel to run aground. They later fought in the battle at Great Bridge, where the patriots - consisting mainly of the Culpeper Minutemen - repulsed an attack by British regulars, loyalist militia and freed slaves. This forced the British to evacuate their fort and flee to ships. The minutemen were given preferential treatment for transfer to the Continental Line and many did. In Dec. 1776, the battalions were disbanded and those who had not joined the Continental Line returned to their homes. Members of the SAR and DAR laid wreaths and called out the names of 12 men from the battalion

On June 15, 1775 Colonel George Washington is appointed commander-in-chief of the American Army. Some in the Continental Congress opposed his appointment, thinking other candidates were better equipped for the post, but he was ultimately chosen because, as a Virginian, his leadership helped bind the southern colonies more closely to the rebellion in New England. Despite his inexperienced and poorly equipped army of civilian soldiers, General Washington led an effective war of harassment against British forces in America, while encouraging the intervention of the French into the conflict on behalf of the colonists. On October 19, 1781, with the surrender of British General Charles Lord Cornwallis at Yorktown, Virginia, General Washington defeated one of the most powerful nations on earth.

Culpeper Literacy Council completes ESOL Grant

Culpeper Literacy Council recently completed an ESOL Grant Program from the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. “As we come to the end of our grant period, I am thrilled at the outstanding progress our adult learners made in their studies this past school year. By receiving this grant, we were able to provide new relevant learning materials for our ESOL adult learners and provide professional development resources for our tutors,” said Laura Wood, Executive Director of the Culpeper Literacy Council. “Our adult learners focused this year on improving their grammar, increasing their pronunciation and improving their writing skills. Our adult learners are very dedicated to their studies and have received over 5,000 hours of instruction. Additionally, CLC was able to train 20 new tutors this year in order to meet the demand of 70 new students.” Rosa, one of CLC’s students’ wrote, “Literacy Council is helping me in many ways to write, to understand, to do better in my job, to improve my skills talking in English. Now I can talk with my supervisors, the teachers of my children, and doctors. Literacy Council is a great foundation that gives confidence to the students and gives me the tools I need to do better and better.” Culpeper Literacy Council received $1,975 to support its Adult English as a Second Language Literacy Program in July 2016. Funding for this project was made possible through the sponsorship of The Culpeper Minute Men Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, located in Culpeper. Culpeper Literacy Council began as a grassroots effort in 1987 to meet the need in the community for resources in basic adult educational services. Culpeper Literacy Council has grown tremendously over the last 30 years. CLC provides two distinct programs (ESL and Basic Literacy) to adults, age 18 years of age and older, who reside or work in Culpeper. The ESL Program provides a variety of day and evening English classes to adult who desire to learn or improve their English skills. The Basic Literacy Program includes instruction to low literate (below a 6th grade level) adults who need to increase their skills in math, reading, or computers in order to accomplish their employment or other personal goals. All programs are provided through trained volunteers who serve the program as tutor instructors. The DAR grants program was started in 2010. Funding is awarded to support projects in local communities which promote the organization’s mission areas of historic preservation, education and patriotism. The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890 to promote patriotism, preserve American history and support better education for our nation’s children. Its

The Culpeper County Board of Supervisors took no action Tuesday morning during a rules committee meeting on issues involving agritourism, Airbnb and other issues involving property rights. County planning director Sam McLaren spoke about drafting policy to deal with agritourism, following state code changes. Under the revised state code, operating an event venue, selling food or having a bed and breakfst could be considered agritourism if it occurs on a farm. Catalpa Supervisor Sue Hansohn took exception with the discussion, pointing out it was just government again putting its nose in places it shouldn't. "That's taking it to the extreme," Hansohn said. "I think we need to not look at it so much in terms of rules and regulations and we need to back off a little bit." The state code was open ended, stating if the agritourism "substantially impacted" the county, then public health and safety may be an issue. The committee finally instructed McLaren to draft a simple policy that will be reviewed by the rules committee. The committee also discussed regulating Airbnb, renting a room in your home for profit. Hansohn said there were only a "handful" of properties that qualified and she didn't think the county should be regulation that industry. Committee chairman Steve Walker, asked if the county lodgings tax should also be dropped, pointing out it only brings in about $15,000 a year. Both Salem supervisor Alexa Fritz and Hansohn said yes, noting most of the hotels are located in the town limits. The discussion of lcoal businessess needing to register with a business license was shot down even quicker. "These are small, rural businesses, so I don't see why we need that," Fritz said.

CUMC vandalized by anti-Christian graffiti By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

Culpeper United Methodist Church was the target of antiChristian vandalism early Tuesday. Culpeper Police Department Officer Dave Payne responded to the report of graffiti along the 1200 block of Oaklawn Drive at 6:21 Tuesday morning, and what he saw was shocking. Covering the front doors of CUMC was the phrase “God is Dead,” and the symbol of 666. Several cars along Oaklawn Drive were also marked with 666 and other obscene symbols were spray painted on church property. CUMC pastor Randy Orndorff said he just started preaching a new lesson on Sunday about Jesus telling you to forgive your enemies. “He talked about loving your enemies and praying for those that persecute you,” Orndorff said. “I told everybody when they were leaving, to look for places where someone doesn’t treat you with respect or they say something to hurt you. Then think about how you will respond to that. I just didn’t know ➤ See CUMC, Page 5

Culpeper Times • June 15-21, 2017 ➤ CUMC, from Page 4 that it was going to end up on the front doors of our church this morning.” According to CPD detective Austin McNabb, sometime in the overnight hours vandals painted those symbols and phrases along Oaklawn Drive. “The way our folks are responding is that we have to pray for those that did this,” Orndorff said. “It doesn’t mean you just roll over and take it, but we’re going to look for a positive twist on it.” CUMC was hosting its annual Vacation Bible School Tuesday morning, with more than 200 children expected to arrive by 9 a.m. In preparation, teenage volunteers and church members worked to cover the graffiti with posters. Orndorff was shaken, but not deterred in his faith as several youngsters responded by taking lessons

they learned in church and applying it in this situation. “One of the things I heard from our parents was that their three little girls in response started to sing a song we sing in church,” Orndorff said. “That our God is not dead, he’s surely alive, he’s living on the inside, roaring like a lion. That was their take away, when I heard that I thought that’s how we have to approach this.” Culpeper United Methodist Church was also the home Tuesday morning of the West Fairfax polling station for the June 13 primary. Anyone with information pertaining to the vandalism can contact McNabb at 727-3430. “It’s just amazing that it happens to more small, rural communities like Culpeper,” Orndorff said. “We’re sure not immune to those types of attacks and the evil behind it. We pray for those and that God will touch their heart and help them see there is grace for all.”

Before you can quote, “The moment you doubt whether you can fly, you cease for ever to be able to do it,” Peter Pan Jr. the Musical and Family Arts Day, at Verdun will arrive. Courtesy of the Windmore Foundation for the Arts, the famed play will open with two performances - 1 and 5 p.m. at the Verdun Amphitheater, on June 17, at 17044 Verdun Adventure Bound Trail, Rixeyville. Welcome to Neverland, or the Verdun Adventure Bound Amphitheater, where local students from local middle schools, home schools, and high school are gearing up to take their impending audience on journey where characters such as Wendy, Smee, Peter Pan, Tiger Lilly and Captain Hook exist. Thanks to the efforts of Windmore Foundation for the Arts executive director, Debra Smyers, 27 local youth will showcase their talents as they give their rendition of Sir James Matthew Barrie’s famed novel, Peter Pan. Just three days before the curtains open, the cast, and volunteer crew are hard at work with dress rehearsals and stage rehearsals. “When you hear them sing and dance, you’re going to think that they’ve been auditioned,” Smyers said. “They are caring individuals and they are great as a team. It’s like one big family out there.” Before Noelle Brown, also known as the

musical’s Peter Pan entertained the notion of participating in the play, she was looking for something for something to occupy her time, but it occurred to her during a family drive that earning the title role in Peter Pan could take her thespian talents to a new level. “Because I do plays in the summertime, I immediately wanted to do it. I love Peter Pan, in fact, I love the whole story,” Brown said. Peter Pan’s antagonistic villain, Captain Hook, played by Eastern View High School sophomore Kagan Flemming leads a cast of pirates with the hope of casting a shadow over the dreams of Pan’s friends hoping to return to the real world. “I heard about the play a couple of months ago, and I got really excited,” Flemming said. “I really like acting, and I am happy to have the chance to act again over the summer.” The play is supported by a number of volunteers, including director, Mary KiddFlemming and her husband John. John is in charge of sound and shop building. “It’s just enchanting to see the trees in the background, and nature,” Mary KiddFlemming said. “The children have been working really hard on the script, and the play - but they have also been having a lot of fun.” Tickets are $5-7.50 for children and $10 for adults.While the event is scheduled for outdoors, there will be indoor accommodations in case of inclement weather. For more information, call Windmore at 540547-4333.

Culpeper library Summer Reading Program thrives with magic By Leonard Banks

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

On June 8, at Culpeper County Library, a packed room filled with children and adults were captivated as magician Klee opened the first day of the Culpeper County Library Summer Reading Program registration with his usual unique whimsical style of humor. Klee focused on four acts to emphasize the theme, “Design to Read.” Within the program’s theme embodied the principles of delivery, education, secret, illustrate, good and never. From the moment the children entered the room, laughter and uncontrollable mayhem filled the air, as Klee without hesitation engaged his impending audience into a verbal exchange as though he had known them since the day they began to talk. His magic is more than just a slight of hand or stage imagery, it’s simply found his ability to uncover shyness and bring out the true humorous nature of people. “Working with kids has been a passion of mine,” Klee said. “Educating them just goes so far; however, when I put my show together I want to make sure it’s educational show that hammers home what the library has to offer - which is what you need to succeed.” Klee designs his show around books. Each year he focuses on writing about a summer theme, and he has learned about the family dynamics based on his experiences.

“I’ve learned from working with kids that grandparents live for their children, and moms and dads also live for their kid,” Klee said. “Even though my jokes are geared for the kids, the adults really do have a good time.” Thrilled with Klee’s popularity throughout the Culpeper community, Culpeper Youth Adult Programming Youth Services Coordinator, Laini Bostian said, “We do these performances to bring people into the library, and to give them something to do in the summer. There is no place else in Culpeper to get free cultural recreational activities during the summer.” Klee began his craft of educating and entertaining at the age of 12. His passion for making kids think outside the box, while laughing has made him an international sensation. In fact, over the past two years Klee has been awarded twice for his educational programs. A native of Richmond, Klee spent two days, and three shows entertaining kids at Culpeper County Library during his recent visit. From his opening act using kid to dress up as Super Chicken to his closing show featuring a series of props, and his costar Trix, the rabbit, Klee enforced the fundamentals of reading. “I love doing this shows, and the adage is true; ‘when you do what you love, you never work a day in your life,’” Klee said. “It’s that much rewarding when you get paid for doing what you love.” Klee’s Black Tie Magic show was sponsored by Paul and Karen Laske.

HOME & GARDEN Parks offer special programs and deals Some great opportunities to enjoy our state and federal parks are coming up around the summer solstice. This Saturday (June 17) is Park Neighbor Day in Shenandoah National Park, which will offer free admission and special programs. The following Saturday (June 24), many of Virginia’s state parks will also offer special programs to encourage camping as part of the Great American Campout. Park Neighbor Day is an annual event in which Shenandoah honors neighbors who live in the counties and gateway communities surrounding the park. On the day, the park is waiving its entrance fee for all visitors. Byrd Visitor Center and the wayside at Big Meadows will have special activities from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. The Great American Campout, a national event, was created by the National Wildlife Foundation to help families learn about camping. On the day, Sky Meadows State Park, near

WILD IDEAS Pam Owen

Delaplane, is offering camping for $30 per campsite in the beautiful backyard of historic Mount Bleak House, where the view is far from bleak. The park’s special program that day features wildlife from the Blue Ridge Wildlife Center, a demo by Dogs East search and rescue and a campfire sing-along. I had planned to visit Sky Meadows park to see what was blooming in its meadows, but the press release about the campout finally got me in gear June 9. As its name implies, much of the park is open land, which offers different species than where I on a forested mountain bordering Shenandoah. Driving up the road to the visitor center that afternoon, I saw bluebirds exiting a series of bluebird boxes as I passed by. On a hill past the main gate was a meadow filled with common milkweed just starting to pop on the right, and a pond a bit further away on the left. As I learned from the park ranger at the visitor center, this was among the meadows the park had planted with native plants. The 1,864-acre park has a wide variety of trails through uplands (including part of the Appalachian Trail, lowlands, riparian areas, woods and meadows. After telling the ranger my

mission, she suggested a series of short, connected trails that ran mostly through low, open areas with water, the most likely place to find blooming meadow plants this early in the year. It was a lovely afternoon, and after taking a few shots of the spectacular view from behind historic Mount Bleak House, I got my pack and my dog, Mollie, from the car and started out. I made my way to Hadow Trail, which runs through a riparian area with a big meadow on the north side of the trail and more meadow plants along the edge of the forest on other side. At that time of day (around 3 p.m.), the trail had intermittent shade, which offered welcome relief from the rising temperature. Along the trail I found lots of common milkweed, but the few blooms that were starting to open were deep in the meadow, which was densely packed with tall, diverse herbaceous plants — native and nonnative. Also in the middle of the meadow was a plant with white blossoms, which I thought might be beardtongue, considering gray beardtongue was blooming where I live and the flowers looked similar from that distance. Not wanting to go bashing through the meadow in pursuit of photos, I contented myself with shooting some milkweed whose buds hadn’t quite

opened along the trail edge, and some nonnative bull thistles that were slowly opening their buds. Whether native or nonnative, the plants — especially the few blooming ones — were attracting an assortment of insects. Among the milkweed buds, I found large milkweed bugs (Oncopeltus fasciatus) and other insects. Mollie and I took a cutover to Corporal Morgan Trail, passing through another meadow, then headed for the road. In the process we bypassed Woodpecker Woods, the home of the red-headed woodpeckers the park is famous for. I had already planned to come back another day by myself to try to photograph them. Instead, Mollie and I walked along the side of the road up to the meadow and pond I’d seen driving in. We found a nice little shady patch that offered a view of the meadow as well as a partial view of the pond, around which redwing blackbirds were calling. A few butterflies, including cabbage whites and fritillaries, were checking out the few blooms in the meadow, and tree swallows were swiftly pursuing the many insects flying above it. Although the shade and breeze on the hill felt good, we finally headed on to the parking lot, passing a small patch of yarrow — the last wildflower species I saw blooming that day. © 2017 Pam Owen

Under blue skies and racing cotton ball clouds the sixth annual Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Office football sports camp opened on the fields at Eastern View High School. Over 300 children signed up for the camp. On one field 150 would-be football players learned fundamentals from Culpeper County deputies and EVHS football players. On the other field an equal number of student cheer leaders lined up in squads to learn the skills needed for cheering. The Cheer camp is a new addition to the sports program because of interest from Culpeper parents, according to Deputy Marshall Keane who helps organize the event. Later in the summer soccer and baseball camps are planned. The events are supported by Sheriff Scott Jenkins through the annual teacher / law enforcement basketball game and donations from M.D. Russell Construction, Updike Industries and EVHS Athletic Boosters.

'Some enchanted evening' – A Night of Comfort Music Maggie Lawrence

And leave it to R & H to take an idea that is brimming with sexual promise – “I’m Just a Girl Who Can’t Say ‘No’” – and turn it into a cornball piece of hayseed innocence. But that’s how they got away with it. One of the show’s strengths is the variety of mood and tempo, jumping with abandon from one well-known musical to another but freely adding an outside spin. Solving “a problem like Maria” is removed from the convent and put to the three men of the ensemble where it takes on a much different look. Even more original and much more fun is “Honeybun” – and I won’t spoil it by telling you why. “Shall We Dance?” Stephanie Wood’s choreography suits the friendly energy of this show and doesn’t overwhelm the performers. “Carousel” is my hands-down

favorite of the R & H canon, and so I looked forward to the beautiful duet “If I Loved You”. This is one place where it seemed that the tenderness and hesitancy of the song was sacrificed for the dominance of the baritone. Immediately following, and creating a clear narrative, was “Hello, Young Lovers”, and it made sense. Though I don’t personally care for what strikes me as the vapid tune and lyrics of “Oh What a Beautiful Morning”, all is forgiven with the ensemble singing of the haunting “Edelweiss.” Equally beautiful is the finale piece “You’ll Never Walk Alone”, also from “Carousel.” A five-piece musical ensemble plays center stage amidst Jennifer Taglieri’s scene design of three large hanging windows and a perfectly stunning painted backdrop complimented by

Had enough of hysterical headlines, political food fights, troubles and turmoil? Take a breath, and spend an evening in the golden age of American musical theatre. Riverside’s production of “Some Enchanted Evening – The Songs of Rodgers and Hammerstein” contains no unpleasant surprises and plenty of balm for exhausted souls. Rodgers had collaborated with Hart, and Hammerstein with Kern (producing the great “Show Boat”) before they turned to each other. The world and tastes have changed since the ‘40s and ‘50s, but the importance of such masterpieces as “Oklahoma!”, “The King and I”, “South Pacific”, “Carousel”, and “The Sound of Music” cannot be overestimated. (If I may return to my authentic voice for a moment, that last example is a victim of its own fame, being the “go to” piece for every amateur theatre group in the country. “Let’s put on ‘Sound of Music!’ is the heart-sinking cry that sends reviewers like me heading for the hills.) Nevertheless, they broke new ground, influenced musical theatre generations ever after, and introduced songs that people seem to know without knowing how they know them. A Rodgers and Hammerstein show carries the same unspoken seal of approval that the old Walt Disney studios once had: you could be sure you wouldn’t be assaulted or shocked and your children wouldn’t be subverted. Nowadays, that’s considered a drawback. But I digress. Artistic director Patrick A’Hearn presents “Some Enchanted Evening” as the first of their summer fare, and like summer, it’s warm, mellow, and light. There are no dramatic swings from bright to dark, (this is R & H after all) and many of the casting and choreography choices were made to show the songs in a separate context from the musicals for which they were written. For that reason, no order of songs was given in the program. That choice might please the anarchists In the audience, but for my purposes, I like to know whom to credit for an exceptional performance. But, alas. Suffice it to say that the eight adults and six children of the youth ensemble were precisely cast for their vocal range and presence. An opening medley takes us from a jaunt in the “Surry with the Fringe on Top” to the tropical waves of “Bali Ha’i” and back to the Naval base where “There’s Nothin’ Like A Dame.” One member of the cast who is always easy to spot is Kathy Halenda who, as the girl who is “sixteen, going on seventeen”, is a double-barreled hoot.

VIEWS Do not let extortionists lock you out of your computer DATA DUMP John Barker

At some point, I think we’ve all locked ourselves out of the house or our car. It’s annoying. You typically call a family member or friend who will bring your second set of keys. In the most extreme circumstances, you

call a locksmith. Now imagine a situation where you find yourself locked out of your computer files and there isn’t a second set of keys or a locksmith to save the day. Your files have just been encrypted with a key you don’t have access to. You have two choices; either lose the files or pay an extortionist fee. The clock is ticking since you only have a few days to figure it out before your data is lost forever. You’ve just been hit by ransomware and it’s causing havoc in the computing world. Ransomware has been making big news with WannaCry, a ransomware variant that was exploiting older, unpatched operating systems. There are many different names ransomware will go by as “hacker extortionists” continue to evolve the code.

Marshall Keene's promises for first 60 days In my first 60 days into my candidacy to represent Brandy Station, Lignum and Richardsville on Culpeper’s School Board, I have had the opportunity to meet some amazing people who are parents, students, teachers, school staff and members of our community. I have promised to them that I will take bold action to keep all students and staff safe and secure in our schools and to give them a voice regarding every child’s educational opportunities. The path to ensuring a safe and effective education begins with returning decision making back to the local level, where parents, students and teachers can work together to ensure our children are prepared to succeed. The purpose of education is to equip students to be productive members of society. A large part of that is realizing that students and their parents are our customers and they deserve to be treated as such. I have promised to support policies

The medical industry has been hardest hit with patient files getting locked out. But, with a minute of research, you will find almost every industry that stores significant amounts of personally identifiable information (PII) has been a specific target. Targets also include institutions with large technological footprints that are slow to upgrade their systems or fail to properly ensure patching is taking place on a regular basis. Ransomware attacks are quite costly with attacks costing an estimated $1 billion annually. These steps will help protect you and your business from possible extortion. Keep your operating system and application software fully up-to-date with security patches. Viruses take advantage of holes discovered in the code, so it is important to plug the holes. Check that your anti-virus program includes email attachment scanning for viruses and spam. For business, evaluate a 3rd party solution such as Barracuda Networks that will instantly open and close email attachments, scanning for advanced threats before sending them on to the end user. No SPAM solution is 100%. If you receive an unexpected email with an attachment or one that asks you to give them personal information via email, do not click the link. You can use your mouse to hover over the which provide for the privacy and protection of all of our students: All of our students deserve to learn in a safe and secure environment. Part of that includes student privacy and ensuring that we have a common sense approach toward school locker room and shower policies. I will support the Virginia Law that allows the Culpeper School Board to create policy supporting School Security Officers to carry guns. As a parent of two daughters who attend Eastern View High School and a third who attends FTB, I have had the opportunity to experience the before daylight and after dark bus rides to and from school. I can ensure you I will constantly be the voice of all parents to ensure our children are not experiencing extended bus rides. I have always been an active in Virginia High School League sports as a coach and a parent. I understand the financial burden our athletic programs face each year and will support the creation of a Director of Athletics to assist Culpeper County High School & Eastern View High School in all financial aspects to ensure each athlete

Implement a robust business continuity plan or backup solution. Newer technology will allow you to take snapshots of your critical data (including the entire operating system) on hourly basis so you can roll back before the infection took place. At a minimum you want a backup solution that will allow you to keep multiple snapshots of your files. If you have already been hit with ransomware, all is not necessarily lost depending on the version you have been infected with. Many of the main antivirus vendors have pooled together to share the private keys they have been able to decrypt. A quick google search for “Ransomware Decryptor” will provide a list of free tools that will attempt to unlock your files. It won’t be 100% but it’s worth a try. The main message here is that is hardware and software is cheap, but losing years of your data is very expensive to recreate. Take the time to put procedures and tools in place to minimize your risk.

is experiencing the best Culpeper has to offer. I have pledged to work with our state and federal legislators to identify and reduce unfunded mandates that take away from important class time and teachable moments. By working to reform testing, teachers will have more time for actual teaching in the classroom. While some testing is needed to track progress, we are relying too heavily on standardized tests. Instead of focusing on set numbers on an SOL, we need to map student progress through the year and reward our teachers based off of individual student progress as opposed to one random score on an SOL test. I would be giving a disservice to so many if I didn’t say “Thank You” to everyone for all your kind words of encouragement in support of my campaign. I respectfully ask for your Vote as your next School Board Member. Marshall Keene Candidate for Stevensburg District Culpeper county School Board

HISTORY

CS Richmond Musket just one of rare finds at the Museum There are many items we have here at the museum pertaining to the American Civil War. But what I have chose to highlight is the one that when I pick it up it speaks volumes to me. That is the CS Richmond Musket. The CS Richmond was a musket made in the City of Richmond State of Virginia under control of the Confederate government during the

War. The CS Richmond was made from machinery that was captured from Harpers Ferry Virginia. The machinery was set up to make the 1855 musket but the confederates disposed of the Maynard Priming systems and the patch box. Around 1862 another modification was made in cutting down the high hump that housed the Maynard system thus

giving us two types of muskets. It is said that around 1,000 black stocks were also taken at Harpers Ferry on the trip south to Richmond. The rifles were made at Tredegar Iron Works. The only works in the south able to make cannons and other martial items as the war broke out. The overall appearance of the rifle was not as smooth and beautiful as was made at Harpers Ferry. In the south there was not time to deal with beauty over function. Now to note the early model 1862 did have a patch box and high hump lock plate but when 62 rolled around the low hump was in production. Jackson also brought back many 2nd grade stocks which had splits and cracks. After the grade one stocks wore out there was no new black

walnut to go to. So the old stocks were used and a second type of rifle was made. The two banded rifle. Stocks damaged were cut down and a little over 400 of these where made. Next came even a shorter version which was the CS Richmond Carbine for the cavalry. It sported a short carbine style barrel. Many types of metals can be found in the later CS Richmond's but ours is good quality and must have been made from good stocks. In a couple of months we will display this wonderful piece of history. If only it could tell us where it has been. So with that said I now will get back to work and I hope you enjoyed our column. See us again real soon for our next item in our collection.

Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby celebrates 15 years By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

For 15 years, the Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby has been bringing smiles to the faces of youth in the region. This year is business as usual, with maybe a few new wrinkles. For the first time in 15 years, there is a new race director as Sheila Rutherford is taking over for Frankie Gilmore. Also, after having the race be two days for the past several years, the derby is now back to one day on Saturday, June 17. “So many of the parents had talked to Frankie over the years and wished for it to be just one day,” Rutherford said. “Frankie surveyed everyone and the majority of it wanted it to be a one-day, doubleelimination affair. So that’s what we’re going with. That way the children get the same amount of driving time as they did in two days.” PHOTO BY JEFF SAY This year’s races will include onI aOsuper stock derby car, repairing brake pads, during Family Fun Day May 20.

You really do scream for ice cream?

It is the time of the year when kids are off from school, and moms are seen taking their children for an ice cream at Meg Oremiatzki-Ast their favorite ice cream stand. It is an opportunity to take a pause and enjoy this cooling treat that both kids and parents alike love to eat. All ice creams are not alike in either texture or flavor, there is your traditional and super-premium ice creams and then there is gelato. What makes these ice creams so different, other than ingredients, it is a process called “Overrun”. The term “Overrun” refers to the aeration during the manufacturing process. The International Dairy Association states that “Overrun refers to the amount of aeration the ice cream undergoes during its manufacturing and which, keeps the mixture from becoming an inedible frozen mass.” In the United States, “Overrun” is governed by federal standards that state that the finished product must not weigh less than 4.5 pounds per gallon. Super-premium ice cream has a much lower amount of air in it making its texture creamier and denser, it also means that to some degree when we purchase an off-the-shelf ice cream we are buying some fluff and yet we are all in agreement that we still love our favorite ice cream whether it has a low or high amount of “Overrun”. The other distinction between ice creams is the ingredients used to manufacture it. In all cases the fat content in super-premium ice cream is much higher than regular ice cream and in most cases there is used a much higher quality of ingredients making the result a true experience in texture and flavors. I am, for example very fond of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream, in part because I grew up in Vermont and I recall Ben and Jerry’s selling their new brand of ice cream from a renovated garage in downtown Burlington. After my marriage to the “Frenchman”, we lived in Waterbury, Vermont, in a location that was less than a mile-away from their production facility. The king of ice creams is none other than Gelato which hails from Italy. Gelato in Italian

THE SWEET SIDE OF THINGS

means frozen and typically contains less air and more flavoring than other kinds of frozen desserts, giving it a density and richness that distinguishes it from other ice creams. It also has the advantage to be soft no matter how cold your freezer might be, simply because there is no water so even at -5F it can be consumed right away. If you have never tried Gelato, you are in for a real treat because the texture is velvety and rich in flavor. I recently tried a Limoncello gelato which we are ordering from Italy and “oh my” this was a treat to my taste buds. When I got to the end of the flute I wondered what happened to the rest. It was very satisfying and yet I wanted more. When it comes to flavors, there is not enough space in this article to describe them all, however, outside the classics such as Coffee, Chocolate, Vanilla, and Strawberry you can now choose from an array of new flavors such as Honey Lavender and even Guinness Beer! Again, there is big difference in taste because some will utilize artificial vanilla versus the natural vanilla bean and this is when your taste buds may want to explore the many different choices we have in Culpeper. Not matter what your preference we all Scream for Ice Cream. Wishing you a fun filled summer! Marc and Meg Oremiatzki-Ast are the owners of The Frenchman's Corner on Davis Street.
