Germanna to recruit and retain more veteran employees Contributed report Germanna Community College has worked in recent years to support veteran students, opening a veterans’ center and helping vets get academic credit for past training and experience as well as arranging mentoring by local business leaders. Now GCC is taking steps to recruit and retain more veteran employees. Germanna was recently certified by the governor's office as a Virginia Values Veterans (V3) Program company. The college's human resources department recently completed training intended to strengthen veteran employee recruiting efforts and boost veteran hiring and retention. Forty-one of the approximately 600 current employees at Germanna have declared veteran status, according to Liz Hunziker, GCC Recruitment Coordinator. She said there are likely more who haven’t disclosed that status. “We at Germanna are committed to hiring veterans and are delighted to join the V3 community in providing these employment opportunities,” said Laurie L.
Bourne, GCC associate vice president for human resources. “We recognize that veterans come with a unique set of skills and experience gained during their service in the military. We believe veterans can easily transfer these skills and knowledge to work at Germanna and play a significant part in our mission of helping students.” GCC was certified as a V3 Educator by the governor's office last Spring. That part of the program prepares colleges to train veterans to enter the workforce. Germanna was one of the first in the state to receive that designation, largely due to the fact that it has been a leader among Virginia community colleges in providing dedicated support to veteran students, according to Bob Dixon, Veterans Support Counselor. Three hundred and eighty-one Germanna students are taking advantage of state and federal benefits for the Fall semester, Dixon said. He said there are probably about 100 more student veterans at GCC not being tracked because they aren’t using benefits. Since last Spring, a total headcount of about 900 students have taken ad-
vantage of benefits at GCC. Most are full time students, Dixon said. Germanna is working to help military-affiliated students in the region learn more about the benefits they’ve earned, he said. “At Germanna Community College, we believe in veterans,” GCC President Janet Gullickson said. “We owe them a debt a gratitude and we stand ready to help them make the transition from military life to fulfilling careers in civilian life that pay well. In doing so, we also help our community, our state and the nation as a whole by providing businesses with employees who already have good experience and possess strong leadership skills.” Germanna’s Military Veterans Service Center located at the Fredericksburg Area Campus in Spotsylvania assists military-affiliated students with academic counseling, enrollment, and federal and state education benefits application and processing, advocacy, and social engagement within the college community. In addition to helping vets get academic credits related to past experience, “We maintain close ties to community business leaders who mentor veteran students and help

with internships and job placement,” Dixon said. Degree and certificate programs are approved by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and military services for using federal military-affiliated education programs. The V3 program has helped thousands veterans land more than 26,000 jobs, Gov. Terry McAuliffe said.

CULPEPER YOUTH COUNCIL SPOTLIGHT
The Culpeper Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors announced Tuesday that Sandy Boone, President/CEO, has tendered her resignation. During her tenure, Mrs. Boone revamped and energized our committees and councils while galvanizing our mission as voice of the business community working to promote, build, and support the most effective climate for economic development. “The Chamber has had such a positive impact on my life, both personally and professionally. During my time with the Chamber I have developed valuable relationships, worked with a Board that is committed to the mission of the organization and a staff that is committed to our members and exceptional work everyday,” Boone said. The executive committee of the board of directors will assemble a search committee to find her replacement.
Reformation Lutheran to host senior job fair Seniors looking for work are the target of a new job fair being hosted by Reformation Lutheran Church. According to church administrator Heather Nungesser, seniors throughout the community have reached out to the church asking about employment opportunities. That area of need is what prompted the church and Pastor Brad Hales to host a job fair Sept. 21 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. “Pastor Brad has a passion to minister and serve our community members over 50,” Nungesser said. “We find that a lot are not in love with retirement. They’re looking for other opportunities or second and even third career choices.” She said that seniors bring certain skills to the workplace, understanding the importance of schedules and showing up on time. They come with a good attitude and usually years of experience in other fields that help them be valuable employees. Employers recognize that, but she said many seniors are hesitant to apply in the fear that they will face ageism. She’s hoping the job fair will dispel any fears. “We’re just trying to meet

(Editor's note: This is the sixth installment in a weekly series highlighting members of Culpeper's Youth Council. Each week a new member will be featured in this spot, chatting about their hobbies, their reason for joining the council and how they can make Culpeper better. We look forward to meeting the Youth Council members and hope you do to!) Age: 17 Grade: Senior School: EVHS Hobbies: I play tennis on the Eastern View girls tennis team and I’m Co-Captain of Eastern View’s Forensics team. In my free time I enjoy painting, drawing, sewing and goofing around with my dog Alaska. Why I joined Youth Council: Within Culpeper Youth I hold the position of a secretary and Youth Advisor. I wanted to join Culpeper Youth because I am passionate about giving a voice to the Youth of Culpeper and inspiring others to reach beyond their boundaries. As a kid I had a learning and speech disability, and I didn't see myself within people holding a leadership role. Although, I had many people to inspire and push me, I never had anyone who was like me and truly understood what I was going through. I was blessed enough to have gotten my position within Culpeper Youth and with it I want to inspire kids like me to go beyond what they think their boundaries are and to help create a voice for those who don’t think they have one. How to make Culpeper a better place: In order to make Culpeper better I want to break the barrier between youth and administration by creating an outlet of communication between the two. I am very proud to say I am apart of a unique organization like Culpeper Youth. Furthermore, I am ecstatic to work with such a passionate, intelligent, open minded ,and diverse group of people. I see great things in our future. Brooks Chiropractic Clinic, P.C. 767 Madison Road, Suite 101 Culpeper, VA 22701 Phone: (540) 825-5491
that need that we know exists,” Nungesser said. The reason for seniors wanting to go back to work are varied, Nungesser said. “It’s a by person need,” Nungesser said. “Some of them want the income, some of them need the extra income to do all the fun things they want to do. Some just want to feel useful, they enjoy working.” So far, the fair has received positive feedback from employers and expect several different professions to be represented including retail and in home care. Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services will also have a booth as they have a need for various different positions. Nungesser said the church wants to help the seniors, because if they don’t, who will? “It’s a huge portion of the population,” Nungesser said. “That portion is only going to grow, if we don’t start taking care of our senior citizens, who will? That’s what the Lord has instructed us to do. It’s just the right thing to do.” For more information on the senior job fair, call 540-8251376 or email churchadmin@ culpeperlutherans.org.

J & J Acupressure looks to relive Culpeper's stress By Jeff Say
CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER
Lily Lang has heard her customers at China Inn complain for years of too much stress, back pain and anxiety. Loving the people that visit her restaurant, she wanted to offer something that would address the issue. On Sept. 1, Lang and her niece Jessie Sun opened J & J Acupressure at 101 Duke Street, #116. Acupressure massage is similar to acupuncture, but without the needles, Jessie Sun said. She, along with Jack Sun, who has been practicing acupressure for 20 years, apply pressure to key points of the body, in an effort to bring the body back to its natural balance. “Acupressure massage therapy revolves around the theory that the body has a natural balance and if this balance get disturbed, it can result in pain other unfavorable medical conditions,” Jessie Sun said. Acupressure can be used to treat back ache, headaches, neck pain, arthritic pain, excess stress and ➤ See Acupressure, Page 5

“We want to relieve stress and promote relaxation,” Lang said. Following the massage, they serve a special herb tea that is designed to help rehydrate the body and to help flush out the toxins. “In a human’s body, there are acupoints, when we do the acupoints it can circulate through the whole body,” Jessie Sun said. “When we do the acupressure, the chi goes through and it helps the body’s circulation. It gets rid of the body’s toxin.” They offer treatments of 30 minutes, 60 minutes or 90 minutes and also have a six package price for customers. J & J Acupressure are offering a 20 percent off any one-hour or longer service until Dec. 30.

anxiety. Used for thousands of years in China, acupressure applies the same principles as acupuncture, to promote relaxation and wellness and to treat disease. The massage focuses on the pressure points in the body, and then massaging them once they are targeted. The massage therapists use either light, medium and firm pressure to target problem points on the body. “The goal of acupressure is to restore health and balance to the body’s channels of energy,” Jessie Sun said. “Some proponents claim acupressure not only treats the energy fields and boyd, but also the mind, emotions and spirit.” Lang, the manager of the business, greets everyone with a warm smile and her trademark friendliness.

➤ Journey, from Page 6 Police Department think you can accomplish. Your journey really brings today. You’ve earned a promotion with a lot of sweat equity, but the idea now is to keep after it day after day.” Durrer talked about an officer’s character, and how that translates to trust with the community. He quoted former UCLA head basketball coach John Wooten, in an effort to show the gravity of one’s character. “The true test of a man’s character is what he does when no one is watching,” Durrer said. “Ability may get you to the top, but it takes character to keep you there. Decisions you make everyday is going to impact a human being in some way, and it’s going to have to do with adhering to the rule of law and doing what is right.” He said the promoted officers won’t have anyone watching over them, but they need to act as if there were. “Once you lose your character, it’s very difficult to get it back,” Durrer said. He also said that the officers’ goals should be to make the police department, and the community by extension, a better place - leaving it in a better position than how they found it. “Exceed the expectations exponentially, which each of you has,” Durrer said. Culpeper Police Department Chief Chris Jenkins congratulated the four, and reminded them that have requested this challenge. “My congratulations each of you, you’ve worked extremely hard,” Chief Jenkins said. For Jenkins, who last year was just promoted Master Police Officer, the promotion meant another step closer to her ultimate goal. “For me it’s just being a mentor, it kind of came with being a mentor,” Jenkins said. “It wasn’t something I’m seeking out, it was just something that happened.” Jenkins, who has worked for Culpeper PD since 2009, previously was a detective in the child crimes unit and said that while the stress of going out on the road on night

patrol was something that bothered her, it was less stressful than her last position. “Before going out on the road for the first night, it was extremely nerve wracking,” Jenkins said. “But it’s like riding a bike, you go back out and it comes so natural again it’s not daunting anymore.” Master Police Officer Cole started with the police department in 2007 and became a K-9 officer in 2015, being partnered with Jackson. In February, he earned the Life Saver award for successfully performing CPR on an infant. His promotion is another step in his goal to becoming a supervisor, but he hopes he has a few more years working as a K-9 officer to help clean up the drug issue Culpeper is facing. “I enjoy working with the dogs,” Cole said. “I just like working in the narcotic world and cleaning up the streets in the town of Culpeper. We do have an issue and we’re working hard with the taskforce people to make it better.” Master Police Officer Eric Michael Grant is following in the footsteps of his father, fellow Master Police Officer Mike Grant. A 2006 graduate of Culpeper County High School, the younger Grant has been with the force since 2007. He has steadily moved up the ranks, garnering multiple awards. His promotion has been gratifying, he said. “It shows they trust me with some things and I just enjoy it,” Grant said.“This is home for me. I’m born and raised here, there’s no place I’d rather be.” A farmer in his downtown, he and his wife Audrey operate a small farm with multiple hogs, 11 goats and cows. Lt. Myers started with Culpeper in 2003 and has served as a patrol sergeant and in the criminal investigations unit. He will now oversee 9 officers in Platoon B. “I think with any new position, you have things you want to change, I just want to see how I can help out in the position I’ve been reassigned to,” Myers said. He is the team leaders for the Accident Reconstruction Team and is a TASER instructor for the department.

Historic theatre consultant wants to rescue State Theatre By John McCaslin
RAPPAHANNOCK NEWS STAFF
Could a Chicago-based historic theatre property consultant come to the rescue of the 1938 vaudeville-style Culpeper State Theatre, which is in foreclosure and set to go on the auction block next Wednesday? “From what I read and surmise the loans and bad programming drove this project into a failure,” says Paul Warshauer, a founder of Wheaton, Ill.’s Grande Venues, Inc. (GVI), who tells the Rappahannock News that he is anxious to “come to town and try to save the place.” GVI’s strategy for historic theatres like the one in Culpeper is to create a programming format that provides quality entertainment without the high risk of continually hiring top talent acts. “GVI focuses on specific categories of live entertainment and movies that appeal to a broader audience — kid’s programs, classic movies, vaudeville style acts, cultural music, and teen band concerts among many others,” the company states. “It is GVI’s opinion that performing arts and other forms of entertainment truly need to be integrated into the community in
order for today’s theatres to succeed.” Warshauer contacted the Rappahannock News late last week for further information surrounding the State Theatre, explaining his messages left for the theatre’s volunteer board of directors, including chair Jerry Whitlock, went unanswered. Whitlock also did not return previous calls from this newspaper. Warshauer and his business partner Mike Novelli created the company, according to a business profile, “because they shared a deep passion for preserving historic theatres as well as promoting live performing arts.” “We save neighborhoods and communities not just buildings.” GVI says it serves to fill a growing need for historic property experts and developers to revitalize many projects across the country like in Culpeper, taking “a practical approach in determining the viability of a property. Rather than spec out any building improvements or changes, GVI focuses attention on developing a successful business and programming format rather than on the bricks and the mortar.” The 500-seat showhouse underwent a reported $13 million restoration in 2013.

Culpeper's tourism increases 5.1 percent from last year Staff report Culpeper’s tourism revenue increased by 5.1 percent last year, according to data released by the United States Travel Association. According to the USTA data, all regions in Virginia saw an increase in tourism revenue. Tourism revenue for Culpeper reached $40,296,849, a 5.1 percent change over 2015. Local tourismsupported jobs totaled 407 while local tourism-related taxes were $937,005. All data was received by the Virginia Tourism Corporation from US Travel Association and is based on domestic visitor spending (travelers from within the United States) from trips taken 50 miles or more away from home. "Visitors to Culpeper are drawn to our historic downtown with boutique shopping and culinary arts. Culpeper’s history and heritage continue to attract people from across the country, and our growing agritourism industry delivers authentic local experiences. Culpeper continues to grow as a destination, and the numbers prove this,” said Paige Read, Director of Tourism and Economic Development for the Town of Culpeper.
“As the one of Virginia’s largest private sector industries, tourism represents $24 billion in economic impact and contributes $1.7 billion in state and local taxes, injecting critical dollars into our communities statewide,” said Todd Haymore, Secretary of Commerce and Trade. “The tourism industry supports local businesses, services, and infrastructure, and is an important contributor to job creation. Communities all across Virginia continue to develop new tourism product, making the Commonwealth one of the most exciting and compelling destinations in the world.” According to the US Travel Association, tourism in Virginia generated $24 billion in travel spending. Tourism also supported 230,000 jobs in the Commonwealth and $1.7 billion in state and local taxes. The increase is largely attributed to Virginia’s tourism development all around the state, including: new hotels, restaurants, agritourism, craft breweries, wineries, distilleries, cideries, sports, outdoor recreation, festivals and events, music venues, wedding venues, meeting and convention venues, attractions and so much more.

FILM • “Two-Lane Blacktop” (Universal, 1971- R-rated *) In the late 1960s, following the success of such youth-oriented fare as "Easy Rider," Hollywood executives greenlighted a spate of innovative, low-budget films by young filmmakers influenced by European directors like Robert Bresson and Michelangelo Antonioni. One such film was the minimalist "Two-Lane Blacktop," which follows two "gearheads" (singer-songwriter James Taylor and Beach Boys drummer Dennis Wilson) in their souped-up '55 Chevy as they're challenged to a cross-country race by a middle-aged driver (Warren Oates) in a Pontiac GTO. The leisurely pace set by director Monte Hellman and screenwriter Rudolph Wurlitzer bathes audiences in spare landscapes and car culture rituals that engender a myth of freedom promised by life on the road. “TwoLane Blacktop” was added to the National Film Registry in 2012. 7:30 p.m. Free, at the Library of
Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations required. For more information, call 202-707-9994. *No one under the age of 17 will be admitted without a parent or guardian.

VIEWS LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Hutchins highlights issues facing schools Many issues face our schools. The SOL’s will not disappear but how we test is changing. The state is now allowing local school districts to develop alternate assessments which give a more accurate picture of a student’s knowledge. We have been advocating for this for years. We share your desire for more career and technical opportunities. Not all students need, or want, to go to college. I sit on a committee with members of the Board of Supervisors and community leaders working to add building trades,
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Hutchins running for the right reasons As a former teacher, administrator, and school board member, I have found that people run for a school board because they have one of three agendas: Political, Personal, Educational. The only reason a person should run for school board is to assure the best education for the children of his/her community. The only person for whom you should vote is someone who places the needs and interests of students first. Elizabeth Hutchins has only one
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Media gone mad True Journalism is gone. This phenomena started during the last presidential election and has deteriorated steadily with every breaking news story. So called journalists are now analysts with their articles based upon personal opinions and biases instead of investigative reporting. Prime example is any reporting regarding President Trump. Media and Democratic critics will never accept anything he says. President Trump could find the cure for cancer and his critics would say that "he invented cancer just so that he would receive credit for curing it." Case in point, President Trump denounced in no uncertain terms the hate groups and the tragic events in Charlottesville. Yet, his critics refused to accept his repeated denunciation because he did not use their words or their timetable. As a result, we had to endure the cost and inconvenient march, which no one understands nor can explain its purpose, from Charlottesville to Washington. Our local media fell short in
classes in health sciences and more. Student transportation must be constantly adjusted. We share your concern of long bus rides. We have been working on it. The staff is looking at all options. As each new school year begins, it takes time to adjust bus routes. Routes have been consolidated due to the shortage of drivers. We have 85 drivers covering 115 routes. They are paid $15.22/hr. and are eligible for health insurance and VRS. More bus drivers will help but will not completely solve the issue. The longest rides are from the Stevensburg and Cedar Mt. Districts. The distance to our schools cannot be changed. We don’t have the number of students in this end of the county to build a school out of town and
there is no infrastructure. I deeply appreciate the confidence and trust the voters have placed in me. I have represented Cedar Mountain and Stevensburg Districts during my tenure on the Board. I share your concerns with Board members, staff, and our legislators. I am an advocate for all of our children. Please contact me with your questions or concerns. My email is hutchins@culpeperschools.org or hutchins4schoolboard@gmail.com. I am also on Facebook. I would appreciate your vote for School Board for the Stevensburg District on November 7. Thank you.
agenda: the students of Culpeper County, and she is the candidate the good people of Stevensburg District need to reelect. The main focus of public education should be on the students, and Elizabeth is their greatest advocate. I have worked with Elizabeth Hutchins on the Mountain Vista Governor’s School Governing Board, Academic Advisory Board, and Foundation Board. I have known her for over ten years, and although I am not a voter in Culpeper County, I saw firsthand how Elizabeth thoughtfully represented the needs of Culpeper students in our regional Governor’s School.
I’ve been part of public education since 1973, and I know excellence and integrity when I see those qualities. Elizabeth Hutchins embodies both of these characteristics, which are crucial to serving on a school board. She represents the interests of all children, all teachers, all parents, and all community members. She is beholden to no one. Please reelect Elizabeth Hutchins for school board, knowing that you are placing the future of Culpeper students in the hands of someone who is knowledgeable, caring, and competent.
its coverage, especially on cost to the taxpayers and makeup of the participants. That being unacceptable, I talked to members of the Virginia State Police assigned to protecting the protesters on Thursday afternoon in Culpeper. As Paul Harvey used to say, here is the rest of story. First of all the Troopers felt that it was a waste of taxpayer money and they did not want to be here, but being true professionals, the State Troopers were there and did their job. The local reporters were given and reported erroneous numbers of troopers on duty. There were 18 Troopers here Thursday protecting 23 protestors. The Troopers estimated that they would have 37 hours of overtime versus the routine 40 hour work week given by the spokesperson. You do the math. Eighteen officers with 37 hours overtime each represents a substantial cost to taxpayers. The Troopers stated for a fact that there was one female protester being paid $25 per hour by the Black Lives Matter organization. That equates to $52,000 annually. Perhaps the most disturbing fact that I learned from the Troopers was that a female
protester had written the names of the two Police Officers who died in the helicopter crash in Charlottesville on a ballon and was going to honor them by carrying the ballon during the march. Not to be. The officers witnessed a fellow protester purposefully pop the ballon before the march began. That gives you some idea of the moral compass of the protesters. If you think things are bad now, just wait until the removal of statues and renaming of roads surfaces for debate. The slippery slope will be hard to navigate unless calm heads engage in rational conversation. Where does this process end? Removal of Washington and Jefferson memorials to placate the far left lead to the removal of Martin Luther King from his places of honor to satisfy the far right? This should be a serious concern for all Americans. Hopefully, the common good of the country will overshadow the impulses of shortsighted people who think that you can change history by not acknowledging its existence. Those who refuse to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

Products need to have ingredient descripton listed JEFFERY MITCHELL
It’s not wrong, well, until you say it is. I try to avoid politics. At best, if I chose to say…almost anything, I could alienate half of my friends (or customers) by speaking my mind. At least in my mind, I hold diverse positions on issues. Furthermore, (as I see it) no one candidate or party holds all of the answers. Call it independence (or an identity crisis) I feel free in the space between. The luxury of this space is lost when it comes to food. It’s serious business when you serve the general public. The food that people choose is an example of where finite answers matter. Indeed in this space you, as a business, must expose not just how you do, but what you do and with what. Not disclosing ingredients can trigger allergies that, at a minimum, make people sick and at worse, result in death. There are litanies of state and federal policies and laws that support this notion. I support them and bow to their collective wisdom, but recently I learned that the laws are meaningless. Meaningless, as the laws require “someone” to report the perceived violators “anonymously” (of course) to then be investigated by “authorities”. Excuse me, but what the +&%$ is that? Here’s a local example – I recently called and e-mailed Richmond’s Department of Health on an apparent

Culpeper business violation of the food label policies. Indeed, the agent on the phone (and in online conversations) confirmed that I was correct. This unidentified product was being sold to the public devoid of mandated ingredients description. Did I want to file a complaint? It would be anonymously, of course. What sort of malarkey is that? In a town of 12,000 people, if I say fail to get, say a haircut, I hear about it long before my family says anything. Anonymously, here in Culpeper, um, yeah, I can safely bet my bottom dollar that’s going to ever happen. So, I let it drop, for a time. But I can’t – as a food service professional, it’s plain wrong, dangerous and illegal to put mystery foods into the market. Take for instance when you buy a cheese spread in a tub, you as a consumer should know what’s in it. The laws of the nation and indeed, the state agree. Even so, Richmond and the Feds won’t investigate until “someone says something.” That’s’ wrong. Collectively we are bullied by so many entities daily that we should be able to protect our food sources. So, if you see like me, and you respect freedom, I am asking you to call into question products without description of ingredients. Bless you if you have the courage to “anonymously” be called into the light for reporting the same. Jeffery Mitchell is the owner of the Culpeper Cheese company.

Contributed report Virginia’s reputation and prestige as a producer of high quality wines continues to grow. On August 20th, the Atlantic Seaboard Wine Association® held its 13th Annual Wine Competition and voted Rappahannock County’s Narmada Winery Cabernet Franc Reserve 2013 Best Of Show. Narmada Winery Cabernet Franc Reserve 2013 was also awarded the Best of Category – Cabernet Franc, and a Gold Medal. “We are delighted to be among the 38 Gold Medal Winners from Virginia,” says Narmada’s owner and winemaker Sudha Patil. “Receiving the Best of Show is quite an honor among such a prestigious array of distinguished wines.” Virginia took more than half of the 73 Gold Medals, competing against 10 states along the Atlantic seaboard. In all, 467 wines were entered this year. New York wines received 11 golds, with the remaining distributed among Connecticut, Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Is-
land, and Vermont. Rappahannock neighboring wineries Gray Ghost Vineyards and Magnolia Vineyards also medaled. Sudha Patil’s tasting notes for Narmada Winery Cabernet Franc Reserve 2013 read “Aromas suggest spice and earth underpinned by a hint of violet. On the palate, full and rich, laden with berry, clove and black pepper. Good acidity and tannic grip ensure a long-lived wine. Finish is earthy, rounded with coffee and beguiling violet nuances.” “Our Cabernet Franc Reserve has long been a favorite of our wine club members,” Sudha says. The wine is generally marketed as a wine club exclusive, but through the end of September will be available to the general public. Narmada Winery Cabernet Franc Reserve 2013 retails at $34 a bottle, and is available at the Amissville winery or through its website at http://narmadawinery.orderport.net/wines/Wine Suggested food pairings include two vegetarian dishes as well as Sudha’s favorite lamb recipe: wild mushroom risotto; vegetable jalfrezi, and Indian-spiced lamb chops.

In the implementation of this project the following job types may be available and contracts and procurements may be made: General Contractor. The General Contractor will be the person primarily responsible for carrying out the home rehabilitation. The General Contractor must have a contractors license and workers¬ compensation insurance.

BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR BEER: Hoptoberfest was a success! Crowds were large and festive - like town councilman Pranas Rimeikis wearing his best German attire. Kelsey and Chris Settle (above) served up some brews from Blue Mountain Brewery.
WILD THING: Allen Martin submitted this photo of a Blue Herron he found at Yowell Meadow Park Monday.
HELPING HARVEY VICTIMS: The Culpeper Town Police helped load an Orange County Sheriff's Office vehicle with supplies to be shipped to Houston to help with Hurricane Harvey restoration. Another shipment will be sent on Sept. 11 and CPD will accept supplies until Sept. 10.
