Culpeper Amateur Radio Association set to cruise the airwaves ➤ Local ham operators serve an important role in communications By Leonard Banks

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

For a period of 24 continuous hours Saturday, at Lenn Park, the community of Culpeper will witness a group of unsung heroes in action. Members of the Culpeper Amateur Radio Association will be in full operating form by making as many contacts as they can to commemorate Field Day. The public will have a rare opportunity to join the Culpeper operators, as an operating station will be specifically set up for nonlicensed members of the public to give amateur radio a try. The public is invited to participate at the “Get on the Air” stations. There will be a licensed operator for everyone who participates. During the month of June, over 40,000 ham operators throughout North America set up temporary transmitting stations in public areas to showcase the science of ham radio. President of the Culpeper

Amateur Radio Association Gary Foveaux and his team of operators will not be connected to regular commercial power. They plan to camp out with a full system of antennas, generators, and batteries, and solar power with the focus of communication throughout the country. The CARA crew realizes the importance of their role in making emergency contact. “If there is a hurricane in the area and it knocks out communications, such as cell phones, etc., ham radio can go in and provide communications for hospitals, fire & rescue, police, and the government,” Foveaux said. “During this period, we can communicate back to the emergency control center in Richmond.” Although the purpose of Field Day is to educate and provide training for emergency services, operators will compete for points and ratings. Under emergency conditions, during a natural or man-made disaster, the role of an amateur radio operator is priceless. Without commercial power to sustain their equipment, their community would be left vulnerable. CARA is currently composed of 47 operators, who have the equip-

We also practice on Sunday nights — what we call an emergency net.” Dedicated to the service of helping his fellow man through communication, Foveaux participates in 13 public service events a year. CARA’s

most recent venture was at Grace Mountain, during a bicycle ride. Also, CARA assisted in the running of the Marine Corps Half Marathon, where he and 30 other ham operators provided communications. “We provide a service, but also provides training, and helps us learn to keep our equipment up, and how to use it. If something happens, we’re ready,” Foveaux said.

Town receives permit for water storage tank

Culpeper County’s Planning Commission approved a request from the Town of Culpeper for approval of a conditional use permit to install a municipal elevated water storage tank along Lovers Lane. The location of the storage tank has changed, originally located in the Three Flag Subdivision in the Culpeper County Master Water and Sewer Plan in December 2016. Now, the tank will be located at the corner of Route 15 (James Madison Hwy.) and Route 686 (Lovers Lane). The town is changing the location so Life Spire, a retirement facility being built on Route 15, can hook into the water source for fire prevention services. The tower is permitted up to a height of 180-feet, though Culpeper County Planning Director Sam McLaren said the height is unavoidable and necessary to achieve water storage needs for fire flow protection in the immediate area - including the Life Spire Retirement facility. Life Spire is expected to help contribute to the project, as they had originally planned to build their own fire prevention water source prior to the town moving the proposed water tower. While located in the county, the 189acre property will be built and owned by the town. Planning commissioner Cindy Thornhill pointed out the eyesore of a pumping station that is being built along Bus. 29 south, and asked if something like that would be on the property. Paul Howard, Culpeper County’s Environmental Services Director, said that no pumping station will be at ground level. The planning commission approved the conditional use permit by a vote of 8-1. Josh Millson-Martula voted against the measure. In other business: The Planning Commission approved a request from Andrew Campbell to rezone 3.87 acres from A1 (agricultural) to HI (Heavy Industrial) located off of Route 653 in the Cedar Mountain Magisterial District. Campbell plans to open Blackhill Granite on the site, if approved. It would be a granite finishing business, which dovetails nicely with the several other quarries located in the same vicinity. The Planning Commission discussed the matter for nearly an hour, expressing concern about the turn from Route 653 onto the easement, and issues with the easement itself. Campbell said the woman who has the easement his road would cross was OK with improvements he had suggested, but the Planning Commission wanted a legal document stating such. In the end, many of the commissioners praised Campbell for his entrepreneurial spirit while still pointing out issues that needed to be addressed. “This makes sense,” Planning Commissioner Lou Price said. “This would be the only finishing plant in the county. I commend your on your big idea.” Commissioner Laura Rogers raised concerns about the turn and making

Just one of the cool things about Culpeper is that there seems to be an artsy community that is growing here. Add that to a constant stream of entrepreneurs with an artistic bent and you have something special. One of the people that fills that description is Amy Bauer. She makes really neat (that's an old fashioned word) jewelry. She is modeling some of it here. You may have to look closely to see the necklace but be sure to check everything out. She calls her business "girls day out." I first met her and photographed her in a snow storm and then she went into my blog. Be sure to check out girlsdayout.etsy.com I'll be surprised if it doesn't knock your socks off (that is another old expression). I understand that she is at poppy + chalk on E.

language stronger in Campbell’s proffer to ensure he would work on VDOT on the safety of the turn at Route 653. Another concern raised was about the noise that business would create, but Campbell said that most of the

machinery would be housed inside a building located on the property with one large saw likely being the only outside equipment. The commissioners approved the plan by a 9-0 vote.

Yonderville Music Festival this weekend Yonderville Music Festival will rock Verdun Adventure Bound this weekend. The inaugural festival, organized and produced by Max Stone, will be held June 23-24 in Rixeyville. The lineup features an eclectic lineup of 30 bands and DJs playing music ranging from Bluegrass to electronic dance music. “Verdun reached out to me and expressed interest in putting together a music festival,” Stone said. “I have a lot of experience promoting music and live events and I’ve been eager to put together a festival for a couple of years now. I jumped at the opportunity.” Stone, a DJ, started going to live music events when he was 18 and started making connections. He moved from Culpeper to Richmond in 2010 and started promoting more. In 2014, he moved back to Culpeper and has been promoting events in the area ever since. “I started to gather experience through my own events,” Stone said. Yonderville was planned to offer something musically for everyone ranging from Bluegrass to jam bands, to rock, to reggae, all the way to electronic dance music. The music will be spread out among three stages - a main stage, a pavilion stage and a lounge for DJs. Friday night on the main stage is going to be more jam bands and electronic while Saturday is more reggae, country, blues, Stone said. “So we split it up so there’s nothing too drastically being played in sequence,” Stone said. “We’ve left it up to the patrons to what they are most interested in listening to.” Major acts performing include The Werks (from Ohio), Dirtwire, the Goldtop Country Ramblers, Zach Deputy, the Freeway Revival, Electric Love Machine and many more. Children are allowed at the concert, 12 and younger are free, but they must be accompanied by an adult. Stone said they’ve done everything they can to make this an all-inclusive festival, but warns it is a music festival and there will be alcoholic beverages on site. “When I look at an event, we haven’t done anything to make anyone alienated. We’ve branded the event as something attractive to all walks of life,” Stone said. “We’ve tried to focus our attention on booking high quality musicians, and bringing the best talent we could afford to this area. I don’t think that there’s much more we can do make this event this any more or less of a family friendly event.” There will be a non-smoking area and a family-oriented camping area. Stone said the hope is to draw in about 500 people and they’ve sold more than 150 tickets in advance.

Kaine talks health care during visit to Free Clinic of Culpeper By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

Brenda Roy doesn’t have health insurance. A lifelong Culpeper resident, Roy, 59, only had one place to turn - The Free Clinic of Culpeper. Since she started to coming to the clinic two years ago, Roy has seen her health return and the clinic helped her get her blood pressure issues under control. She told her story last Friday to Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., during his visit to the Free Clinic. Kaine has been touring Free Clinics across the Commonwealth following his appointment to the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions committee in January. He sat down with Roy and other patients at the Free Clinic to find out what services they are provided and how the potential repeal of the Affordable Care Act would impact them. “I was having some health problems and I wasn’t getting the satisfaction I needed,” Roy told Kaine. “I came here and they have met every possible need I could have.” She said the caring staff has turned her life around, recommending programs that have improved the

quality of her life and truly caring about her well-being. “Without it, we would truly go down,” Roy said. “The help I’ve received from them, my job didn’t offer me any kind of health care.” She has since lost her job and is unemployed, and her husband retired. Without a Free Clinic in the community she would have wasted away she said. “Since I’ve come here it’s been moving forward,” Roy said. “I think what it is, is that they are compassionate. They talk to you. They put you at ease.Then you are able to open up and tell them what you’re needs are. Whatever you bring to them, they have a solution to it.” Robert Shaw, 55, recently moved to back to the area after working in Northern Virginia in social services for the Diocese of Arlington. He has since fallen on tough times and came to the clinic for the first time the day prior to Kaine’s visit. He talked about the uncertain state of health care with the senator. “It’s so tenuous right now, people are uncertain about what’s going on,” Shaw said. “It’s difficult to access where the future is going to lie. It’s very scary.” Shaw had insurance previously but the out of pocket expenses and the deductible was high. Now he has

Kaine visited to learn about Free Clinics. turned to the Free Clinic for help and said others shouldn’t be ashamed to do the same. “If you don’t have your health, what do you have? You don’t have anything,” Shaw said. “You do whatever it takes to get what you need, and unfortunately I’m in a situation where I have to do whatever it takes.” According to Chris Miller, executive director of the Free Clinic of Culpeper, the clinic saw 441 people last year. They’ve averaged 12 new people a month since January and she said if the ACA is repealed, they could have an even bigger influx.

“When the ACA was first enacted we saw about 10 percent of our patients leave to go on that,” Miller said. “In the last three months or so we started seeing former patients coming back to us because they can’t afford their copays and deductibles.” Miller said that Linda Wilkinson, CEO of Virginia Association of Free and Charitable Clinics, recommended Culpeper because they are a smaller clinic, but they’ve been doing a lot in the last year to increase access such as hiring a Spanish ➤ See Kaine, Page 4

Culpeper Times • June 22-28, 2017 ➤ Kaine, from Page 5 speaking administrative coordinator, adding a bilingual volunteer pharmacist and increasing transportation access to the clinic. They are also expanding hours on Thursdays from 1 to 7 p.m. to try to provide access to those who work during the day. The Free Clinic receives state funding through the VAFCC based on the number of patients they see. They have the capacity to see 75 patients a week fully staffed, and last week saw 55. She said that lobbyists have already talked about federal funding in case the ACA is repealed. “One of the nice things about being a member of the Virginia Association of Free Clinics and Charitable Clinics, is that also makes us members of the national organization of free clinics,” Miller said. “They have already started talks if this happens that free clinics should be the beneficiary of any funding because we will be seeing so many people.” They are fully staffed at the moment with a full time physician's assistant, full time nurse patient care coordinator, part time nurse, full time front desk and a full time referrals coordinator. They rely on 41 volunteers including physicians, nurses, pharmacists and administrators. Miller said that they also can help some of those with a behavioral health need, of which 70 percent of their patients qualify for. Otherwise they are referred to another agency. “We’ve been able to meet the need of the folks who need some general counseling,” Miller said. “The folks who are in crisis we refer to Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services. But that process can take a little time.” Kaine’s thoughts on health care Kaine talked with patients, ad-

NEWS ministrators and staff during his visit. During a wide ranging sit down interview he detailed the difficulty he imagined his committee facing in the coming two weeks. He said he expected the Republicans to try to push through a plan through the Senate without any Democratic votes, similar to how to first ACA was enacted. One of the questions he received, and hears often, was what type of insurance does he and other staffers have. “We have a pretty traditional employer provided plan,” Kaine said. “The federal government pays a part of it and the employee pays a portion. If you worked for Dominion, Geico, it’s just a traditional plan. I pay monthly for it for my family.” He said that having a safety net like a Free Clinic was important for those who cannot afford insurance but said that the more people on insurance will lower the cost. “It’s one of the issues we grapple with,” Kaine said. “We are really trying to get young healthy people sign up for insurance. Insurance works better for everybody if everybody is part of it.” He talked about Virginia's decision to not opt into expanded Medicaid, asking why they wouldn't accept federal dollars if they have access to it. “I just think it is so foolish what Virginia has done,” Kaine said. “Why wouldn’t you do it when the federal government is paying for it. If they stop paying for it you say ‘I guess we can’t do it anymore.’” Kaine said about 15 states are paying the taxes and not receiving the services, and around 400,000 people in Virginia could be covered if Medicaid was expanded. “I don’t want to phase out Medicaid expansion because I think Virginia will ultimately realize how foolish it is to pay the taxes and not get the benefit,” Kaine said. “Medicaid expansion should stay permanent.”

A derby first and a tough decision pays off By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

Alana Durica had a tough decision to make Saturday. She was scheduled to perform as a Lost Boy in the Windmore Foundation for the Arts production of “Peter Pan, Jr.” but she another event circled on her calendar at the same time. This was her second year racing in the Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby and she wanted to go down the hill with her brother Aidan. So she raced. Her decision paid off. Alana won the Stock Division of the derby Saturday, besting Russell Rabb in the finals. Tears streamed down Durica’s face as she sat in her car past the finish line, her mouth agape at what she had accomplished. They were tears of joy, she said. “Because last year I got bumped out so quickly,” Alana said. “I wasn’t expecting any of this. I’m just so happy that I made it this far.” At the beginning of the day, Alana was asked what she hoped for by Culpeper Media Network’s Jonathan Krawchuk. “I just hope my brother wins,” Alana said. So how did it feel when she was the Durica in the winner’s circle?

“It’s just so crazy,” Alana said. “It was totally unexpected and at first a little scary.” She has grown up on the infield at Paul Bates Raceway, watching her older brother race and biding her time till she could go down the hill. Now, in her second year, she’s a local champion moving on to the AllAmerican Derby in Akron, Ohio. “She’s sat there for five years now, watching me race, and for her to get it is just amazing,” Aidan said. “She’s always wanted to be there with me and she’s always wanted to do the things I do. I love the fact she wants to follow after me.” Alana, 11, a seventh grader at Floyd T. Binns Middle School received hugs from all the derby volunteers, pausing to share a special moment with Paul Bates Sr. and Fontaine Halsey. Did the two senior track specialists give her advice to turn her strategy around? “That’s classified information,” she said with a sly grin. Alana beamed as she was showered with praise, showing how much she loves the derby, “It means so much because Frankie (Gilmore) is amazing and Sheila (Rutherford) is amazing and everybody here supporting me makes me feel so great,” Alana said. “When i go down the track I just feel ➤ See Derby, Page 8

Silver and sewing part of Cate siblings entrepreneurial spirit By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

You could say silver is in Dakota Cate’s blood. His great-grandmother Jessie Kimball was a professional silversmith and the skill of being able to manipulate silver was passed down through the generations. A year ago, Cate decided he wanted to work on a craft, and asked his mother Megan for a book about jewelry making. He’s since turned it into a business - selling his unique creations in Warrenton at Local 35 and Warrenton Jewelers. “I’m self taught,” Dakota, 12, a seventh grader at Wakefield Country Day School said. “Last summer I started. I just had a natural knack for it.” He also makes silver sculptures but it’s his necklaces, earrings and rings that have caught people’s eyes at stores. “I’ve had a lot of sales and I’ve been surprised,” Dakota said. “It was really neat that people were buying all my stuff. I had customers come and talk to me about and say they really liked the personality in the jewelry.” He employs different types of wire designs and incorporates real stone - including turquoise and amethyst. He also sometimes uses 14-karat plated wire. “I thought it was neat I could do that,” Dakota said simply. “So in October I started selling it.” His necklaces go for between $12-20 and his earrings for between $8-16. So far, he’s raised about $1,000 for his college fund. His parents, Joe and Megan Cate, of Culpeper, have been blown away by the response to their son’s jewelry. “I’m absolutely thrilled and very impressed in his ability to think ahead,” Megan said. “I’m amazed at his ability at such a young age.” His silver work also tied in nicely with his first year racing in the Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby. Has working with silver given him an edge? “A lot actually,” Dakota said. “A lot of the wiring with steering has to be done in similar ways. It’s very similar to wire working.” Dakota isn’t the only skilled business person in his family. His sister Valeen, 10, a fifth-grader at WCDS, saw her brother making money and decided to start her own efforts. She sews purses and stuffed animals and sells them at Local 35 in Warrenton for about $10 each. “She saw he was making money and she decided she wanted to make money too,” Megan said with a laugh. “She realized she had a knack for it.” She started taking sewing classes at Tagaloo in Warrenton and it only took about four classes for her to pick it up. “It’s just calming and you can make whatever you want,” Valeen said. “ It’s really fun.”

Dakota (top) and Valeen Cate are saving for their college funds by selling jewelry and purses.

Her purses are creations of her own and she uses a template for the teddy bears. “You buy a pattern for a teddy bear and then you just pick whatever fabric you want,” Valeen said. She likes fleece, for the extra cuddly effect. She too, is racing in her first year at the derby, in a car sponsored by Dairy Queen of Culpeper. Jessica Lindstrom, Head of School at Wakefield Country Day School, said that the Cates’ business acumen is a testament to the creative ideas that students at the school have. “We have a number of students who do projects like that,” Lindstrom said. “We have a magician. We have the Cate kids. We have a couple others who make jewelry. The initiative comes from themselves. It makes them stand out, they’re the excellent students they need to be, but in a school with all A and B students, when they do something like this it shows an entrepreneurial spirit.” WCDS has had a driver in the derby for years, and Lindstrom said that it’s important to tie Science, Education, Technology and Math together with the racing for the students. “I’ve been head of school for five years and in those five years I’ve been here helping support them,” Lindstrom said. “The parents always tell me this is so much better than playing games online. This is wholesome fun.”

HOME & GARDEN Limberlost and nature found

WILD IDEAS

The Limberlost Trail in Shenandoah National Park has long been one of my favorite short hikes because it’s relatively flat yet offers beauty and biodiversity. Last Monday (June 12), as temperatures rose into the 90s around Sperryville, my friend Robin Williams, her husband, Bill, and I heading up to the Limberlost to beat the heat. Reaching the trailhead around 9 a.m., we found the Limberlost gorgeous, fresh and cool. At nearly 3,400 feet in elevation, it usually is. In 1996, the park, with help from several nongovernmental organizations, redid the 1.3-mile trail a bit, making it wheelchair accessible, and added benches and resting areas. About a decade ago, the Limberlost most of its ancient hemlocks to the wooly adelgid, but that opened the forest canopy, allowing more sunlight to reach the floor. A variety of plants took advantage and thrived, offering visitors a good example of forest succession. The chipmunk population also boomed there, perhaps from all the seeds in the cones that came down with the hemlocks. In early spring, the Limberlost’s boggy areas host some of the earliest forbs (herbaceous flowering plants) to emerge, such as green false hellebore, which has large, ribbed leaves. By midspring, marsh marigolds, trillium and some other spring ephemerals are in flower. In June, the Limberlost comes into its real glory with the blooming of mountain laurel. A large stand greets visitors at the trailhead. On the hike last week, I took a lot of photos of the laurel’s lovely, shell-like blossoms in varying combinations of pink and white, which contrasted with the the shrub’s waxy,

evergreen foliage. Warblers, Acadian flycatcher, veery and rose-breasted grosbeak, among other species, breed in the Limberlost. I saw my first scarlet tanager there many years ago, high in the forest canopy near a large hemlock stand. The dense thicket of laurel we were traveling through attracts a lot of songbirds. and we heard several but could only get a glimpse of them as they flittered around in the thick shrubbery. Moving on, we soon ran into a photographer walking toward us with a camera equipped with long telephoto lens mounted on a tripod. I asked him what he was hunting for. An avid amateur photographer specializing in birds, he said he was on a mission to photograph the Canada warbler. I was about to ask him his name, when I noticed a large black shape just off the trail not too far from where we stood. It was a bear, rooting around on the forest floor and pretty much ignoring us. The photographer whipped his camera and tripod around to try to get a shot of the bear through the dense undergrowth and shifting patches of shadow and sunlight. I half-heartedly put my 100-300 mm zoom on my camera, knowing it was unlikely to yield anything usable under those conditions. The bear kept working its way down the trail, then cut across it and stood up against a tree, perhaps marking it with a message for other bears. I had seen a yearling near this spot last July and wondered if this could be the same bear, which seemed about the right size. The bear continued with its foraging, eventually moving out of camera range. The photographer went on his way to find the warbler but, at my request, was nice enough to send me photos of the bear later. I found out through email I exchanged with him later that his name was Gary Robinette, from West Springfield, and he posted his nature photos on Flickr, at flickr.com/photos/ grobinette.

The shell-like mountain laurel blooms range in color from white to pink. The rest of the walk was a bit anticlimactic but thoroughly enjoyable. The hellebore I’d seen in April all along a boggy stretch (where the trail is covered by a boardwalk) was much taller but not yet in bloom. Robin identified large ferns clustered together as interrupted fern, named for the gap its spore-bearing leaflets leave when they fall off in midsummer. White baneberry was just starting to bloom, as was fly poison. The latter, with grass-like leaves, has densely packed flowers with short stalks that run up the stem, resembling hyacinths. The flowers start out bright white, then turn green or red over the bloom period. Its bulb can be crushed and mixed with sugar to kill flies — hence its common name. Eastern red columbine was in bloom, and golden ragwort and bluets, which have a long bloom season, were at various stages of flowering. Robin identified an early meadow rue that had gone to seed, and mayflower that was done blooming. Reaching a huge white oak, we stopped to admire its “bones.” Although I saw deer the last time I was in the Limberlost, the bear was the only megafauna in sight that day. We did see plenty of common eastern chipmunks scurrying around, as usual, and I noticed a tiny green caterpillar that looked like an inchworm. The larva of the winter

moth (Operophtera brumato), it caught my eye as it hung in mid-air, suspended by a barely visible silk thread. We saw lots of another beneficiary of the downed hemlocks — the hemlock varnish shelf mushroom (Ganaderma tsugae) — which feeds on the hemlocks’ now-rotting wood. When the mushroom first blooms, it looks like a fat, shiny spatula, sticking out of its host, varnished in hues of blond to caramel. Its underside is bright white and filled with tiny pores rather than gills. It grows as large as 12 inches, and as it grows, it loses much of its shine, and takes on the shape of a plate stuck halfway into its host, forming a shelf. Although the Limberlost Trail is short, there is enough along it to keep nature lovers and photographers busy for hours. We didn’t get back to the car until almost noon and then headed to Skyland to eat. Nothing caps off a nice walk in the Limberlost better than a dish of blackberry ice cream.

Michael Kniceley awarded for 25 years of service By Leonard Banks

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

Rain doesn’t scare Michael Knicely. Longtime coach for the Rappahannock Athletic Association Rappahannock Culpeper Baseball League, he’s no stranger dealing with the elements. “This season we’ve had a lot of rains, but we did get the majority of them made up,” RAARCB President, Wayne Dodson said. “The rain today was normal for us here.” Prior to the start of the ceremony, RAARCB officials honored Kniceley for 25 years of dedication to the league. Whether it was coaching, field preparation or equipment management, Kniceley was a consistent resource that never failed his beloved community. District 9 commissioner, John Kemper echoed the thoughts of coaches, players and parents that have benefited from his contributions. “For many years this gentleman has been a part of my career, coming up,” Kemper said. “He has been on boards with me, and he has been on committees with me. He has been out and raked numerous fields, and gotten fields ready when

we thought we couldn’t get them together.” Through good and difficult times, Kemper and Kniceley’s relationship has existed for over 27 plus years. They share a common bond of promoting Rappahannock, Culpeper youth baseball. “We’ve been on boards, and committees, and we’ve argued, probably called each other a couple of bad words every once in awhile,” Kemper said with a laugh. “He has been dedicated to the youth in the state of Virginia for a very long time.” Rather that rest on past laurels, Kniceley focused on the need for better facilities for Culpeper and Rappahannock youth. “Just like they build new schools, I wish they would build new fields,” Kniceley said. “Because schools are for teachers, but we are teachers out here too.” Kniceley’s personal satisfaction stems from the kids that he has coached return to the Amissville community as leaders and coaches. “I’ve seen them give back, and come back to coach their kids,” Kniceley added. “It’s a good feeling seeing something you’ve done, and watch it progress.” In addition, the following players were awarded for their 2017 spring

Culpeper kids rejoice in summer soccer fun By Leonard Banks

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

Culpeper kids are getting a kick out of soccer filled week of summer fun! From Tuesday to Thursday, the soccer fields are covered with green and yellow T-shirts. The Culpeper County Sheriff’s Department and the Culpeper Soccer Club have partnered for the 5th year to showcase a summer camp featuring 600 kids, ages 5-16. Images of skill stations, junior coaches, Culpeper County officers featuring co-ed groups of players filled every corner of Eastern View High School’s Sports Complex. Not only was the camp free, but each kid received a free T-shirt. At the end of the camp, some of the participants received a free trophy. Thrilled to add their contribution to the program, Culpeper Soccer Club member Dan Trull said, “For the younger kids, the biggest skill that we teach them is fun. If we can get a ball on their foot or just getting touches on the ball or shot at goal, is a great thing.” Thanks to the efforts of Culpeper Sheriff Scott Jenkins, the summer sports series is a reality. It began in 2012 with football and baseball camps. Since that time, the program has added cheerleading, and soccer. In two weeks, there will be baseball and softball camped added to summer series. The summer sports program is sponsored by Updike Industries, Mike Russell Construction, and proceeds from an annual basketball

game featuring Culpeper Deputies, and Culpeper teachers. In addition, the Harlem Rocket were added to the fundraising corps. “We are blessed that the community allows us to spend time with their kids,” Culpeper Sgt. Marshall Keene said.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Celebrationg 100 Years of Lionism It is common knowledge that the primary mission of Lions Clubs throughout the world is to provide financial assistance to individuals in need of help is acquiring eye glasses and or hearing devises. The Mid-Day Lions Club in Culpeper has adopted a special project to do our share in celebrating this 100 year anniversary. Currently we are totally dependent on using the Sight and Hearing Van to support our annual screening of children in both the public and private schools of Culpeper County. This a very ridged schedule, expensive, disruptive for the schools and limits our flexibility to service not only the children of our community but adults in need of such service. Our project is simply to take advantage of State-of-the Art technology and purchase the portable equipment necessary to test both adults and children for sight and hearing deficiencies. Briefly the Spot Vision screener is State-of-the-Art. These systems have literally changed the testing process. Testing time for individuals has been reduced from 10 minutes to 10 seconds. The Spot system is not subjective. It is scientific and provides an accurate measurement for each patient’s eye. Patients with sight deficiencies are referred to an eye doctor for full screening. These systems work with nonEnglish speaking patient’s children from 6 months of age through adult hood and those with special needs. In a recent study of the top seven health issues in schools, vision disability is ranked number one. The

Approximately, 80% of what children learn in early school years is visual. Alarmingly, fewer than 15% of all preschool children receive an eye exam and fewer than 22% receive any type of vision screening. Our plan is to procure two of the Spot Vision Screeners. With a spot system a school can be screened in a single day, dramatically reducing cost and schedule interruption. Access to screening results is immediate. We plan to procure two Hearing Screeners Audio Meters. These devices, MAICO MA 27 and MA27E Digital Air-Conduction Audiometers uses Headphones to eliminate outside noise and allows the screened individual to hear variant loudness or noise to screen for Hearing Capability. Various tone ranges are tested as part of the screening protocol. Our current dependence on the Sight and Hearing van limits our flexibility, is costly and time consuming. This dependence limits

our ability to provide the best service possible to our citizens. With the portable systems we can not only test students, we can set up at county fairs, street fairs, celebrations associated with sporting, school and Holiday events. Fireman’s Parades are also viable candidates. In our view this is a viable and worthwhile project to pursue. The approximate cost to procure these devices is $18,000. We are committed to pursue this upgrade to our ability to support the citizens of Culpeper County. In recognition of the validity for this capability for the citizens of Culpeper County the Culpeper Wellness Foundation has provided the Lions Clubs with a grant of $10,000. These funds augmented by the balance will be provided by the Local Lions Clubs to assure this needed capability is available prior to the beginning of the upcoming school year. All of the contributions made by the Lions Clubs of Culpeper County are generated by the profits gained at our Sunday Night Bingo events. Thanks to the loyal players complemented by the committed members of the Lions Clubs we are able to contribute approximately $85.000 annually to the charitable needs of our community. While we appreciate the opportunity to benefit various organizations such as Sight and Hearing, Food Closet, SAFE, Hospices Scholarships and countless others the needs of our community far exceeds the resources we have to satisfy those needs.

Culpeper Times • June 22-28, 2017

BIZ BYTES LifeSpire of Virginia recently awarded its first-ever employee scholarships to staff and family of The Culpeper, a LifeSpire of Virginia continuing care retirement community in Culpeper. Kristen Peters, a dining services employee at The Culpeper, and Brandi Houck, daughter of Paula Bolton, The Culpeper’s assisted living administrator, each received $1,500 to continue their education. Peters, a graduate of Culpeper County high school, plans to pursue a degree in nursing. Houck, a graduate of Eastern View high school, will attend Christopher Newport University in the fall. The scholarships are funded through donations to LifeSpire’s employee education fund and administered by the Virginia Baptist Homes Foundation, LifeSpire’s benevolent arm. Scholarships are available to employees and children or grandchildren of employees. “We are pleased to provide scholarships to these students, and we are grateful to our donors who helped make these inaugural awards possible,” said Patricia Morris, vice president of the VBH Foundation. “We wish Kristen and Brandi the very best in their future studies.”

The Bluemont in Culpeper Committee has decided to take Bluemont programs in a new direction for FY2018 (July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018) due to significant cuts in Fiscal Year 2018 projected local funding. Instead of the annual July Friday evening summer concert series which have been offered since 1986, Bluemont’s FY2018 programming will focus on a series of Artists-In-Education

budget for Bluemont in Culpeper. The town has supported Bluemont each year with a $5,000 appropriation which has been matched by an additional $5,000 grant through the Virginia Commission for the Arts Local Government Challenge Grant program. Since 1986, the Town of Culpeper has been an active partner with Bluemont. The Bluemont in Culpeper Committee remains hopeful there will be opportunities to renew this thirty yearlong partnership between the Town and Bluemont in the future. The Bluemont in Culpeper Committee thanks the Town of Culpeper for its past support and Culpeper County for its continued support. For the past 30 years Bluemont has worked in cooperation with the Town of Culpeper, Culpeper County, and a broad base of supporters in the community to present more than 583 programs to more than 57,800 Culpeper residents & visitors.

(AIE) residencies in the public schools as well as healthcare outreach programs in Culpeper area nursing homes. The Committee will focus on expanding Bluemont AIE program’s to Culpeper County schools that have not recently benefited from the program. There is no funding for Bluemont programs in the Town of Culpeper’s FY2018 budget. This represents a $10,000 loss to the FY2018 program

Too Sweet, or not too Sweet?

For perhaps the hundredth time in as many days, I was told this weekend by a guest that they Jim Hollingshead wouldn’t like a Rosé because it would be too sweet. While I greatly enjoyed the look of pleased astonishment on his face when he finally tried it (causing that look to appear on someone is one of life’s greatest pleasures), I must admit that for a moment I felt weary and worn from fielding that same objection each day. For an unknown reason, my mind jumped to the first Rosé that I ever fell in love with, and that unblemished shock that I felt upon discovering this new form of magic. The raw emotion of discovery, the innocent awe at a vision never before beheld, is worth the time spent in ignorance. Fortunately, this applies to more wines than just Rosé, so to recreate that emotional high, I recommend searching out these not-so-sweet masterpieces…

THE WINE NERD

Rosé It seems that the reign of the dreaded White Zin has left most Americans with the impression that to be pink is to be sugary juice. As was the new friend I made this weekend, you will be happy to hear that most Rosé is actually quite dry, often even tart. The most well known dry hero is Provance, in good old France, though many other French Rosés perform equally well. Want to keep a hint of sweetness? Try Tavel, the dark pink Frenchman with the booziness of a Californian red. Shall we search for mouth-puckering tartness? Rosé Txakoli is for you. This Spanish vixen will leave you rather tongue-tied. Think Americans only make it sweet? Heh, you’re in the middle of Virginia, with a dry Rosé in every direction. Come try Early Mountain or King Family’s Crosé before I drink them all! Sauternes The king of dessert wines, the noble Sauternes is a heavy late-harvest monster white from Bordeaux, France. It is over-ripened, and infected with a Noble Rot that dehydrates the grapes further, making a rich, viscous juice that makes a wine more akin to honey than a White Bordeaux. Most famous of all is Chateau d’Yquem (pronounced “di-kem”), a golden elixir smoother than velvet. While d’Yquem (like few others) has a dry ‘Y’ cuvee, you’ll still shell out $250+ for a half-bottle. My favorite? Chateau Guiraud. Living in d’Yquem’s shadow, this is the only other highest-ranked Chateau in all of

Sauternes, and it makes the single greatest dessert wine that I’ve ever known. The hint of sweetness is balanced by nuts, dried fruits, and a hint of tapioca. I have a bottle on my shelf, and I’m looking for an excuse to open it. Tokaji Here we’re stepping back in time, to the origin of dessert wine. The Americans stole the idea from the French and the Italians, and the French and the Italians stole it from the Hungarians. And the Hungarians made it by accident, when a war with the Turks forced them to harvest their wines late, after the Noble Rot had set in. Surely here, in the birthplace of dessert wine, you can count on some sweetness in your glass? Yet even Tokaji(pronounced To-keye) has their lovely dry Furmint, which I am enjoying right now. Herbal and almost floral, it is as clean and refreshing as a cool day in the midst of summer. Port At last we reach the giant. Port is high-alcohol, highsugar, well-aged red that will knock your socks off. Yet even this has a drier side. Try for the oldest Tawney you can get your hands on- the extra ageing turns the color from ruby red to lean brown, and cleans much of the sugar from the mighty wine. Aromas of dried fruits and flavors of nuts will dominate, and the addition of a cigar or blue cheeses will only exaggerate them. In order to jump entirely down the rabbit hole, you should try a White Port, clean yet still rich, light but still powerful. I often forget that moment of discovery, when I first loved a Rosé. Each time I remember, a hint of that shock and awe trickles back into my soul. Each time you taste a wine that surprises you, that gives you an experience unlike any that you’ve had thus far, it brands a memory that can be as powerful as your first kiss, or the greatest meal that you ever cooked. It is not sad that so many assume certain inaccurate things about a wine. Rather, it is sad to be disheartened by that fact. That moment of discovery can be one of such raw excitement that it is more than worth the previous years of aversion. It is perhaps the greatest gift that wine can give to us. I, and each of us lovers of wine, are blessed to have a passion that we will never completely master, because there is always another wine simply waiting to surprise us.

CARING ABOUT THE COMMUNITY: Jersey Mike's of Culpeper has quickly integrated itself into the Culpeper community though only being open three years. Meaghan White, daughter of owner Pat White, said that providing community service projects are important to the business. "It's very important in a small town to connect with the residents" Meaghan said, pointing to the Spirit Days Jersey Mike's participates in and the national Jersey Mike's month of giving. Just getting out and meeting customers is important as she had a customer call after CulpeperFest just to tell them how nice they were. "It's important to be friendly because that's how you create customers and then we become friends with them," Meaghan said. Jersey Mike's is located at 765 Nalles Mill Road, Culpeper and is open 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day.
