JoAnn Fabrics weaves its way into Culpeper ➤ Craft store opens to great fanfare as hundreds arrive at grand opening By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

Hundreds of crafters turned out the morning of Oct. 5 to welcome JoAnn Fabrics to Culpeper. A line of more than 200 people snaked through Dominion Shopping Center as the store opened in the location once operated by Sports Authority. Store manager James Hinton cheerily greeted customers and helped them line up for an opportunity to win a gift card of up to $250. Hinton noted that the crowd was excited because everyone knows exactly what they’ll get at JoAnn Fabrics. “JoAnn has their identity, to me it’s the brand,” Hinton said. Craft supplies, decorations and fabrics were the draw for the customers, who have had to travel as far away as Warrenton or Fredericksburg to visit a JoAnn store in the past. “We are really excited, this was an area that uncovered by us,” district manager Mike Burton said. “We have stores all around and we thought this would be the perfect location. We have customers who travel miles to get to other JoAnn stores.” Burton said JoAnn offers a onestop shop for crafting and fabrics. “We’ve always been synonymous with good quality product and our customers love shopping with us,” he said. “Our goal is make sure we make this their happy place.” Diana Young, Regional Vice President of JoAnn Fabrics, said she is constantly amazed at what customers create. “A lot of customers will finish a product and come back and show it to us,” Young said. It’s not always for personal use, either, Young said, as customers of-

They also invited the Culpeper County High School women’s a capella group “In the Key of She” to perform at the grand

We’re really excited because that’s a whole new generation of young girls we can inspire.” Down the line of customers, many expressed their thrill with JoAnn Fabrics coming to town. “We finally have a story here that

CULPEPER YOUTH SPOTLIGHT

In the fall of 2016, the Town of Culpeper was awarded an Urban Development Area Planning Assistance Grant to assist in the development of an Urban Development Area master plan for the downtown. On Monday, Oct. 16, elements of the draft plan will be on display for public comment and feedback from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Culpeper Economic Development Center located at 803 South Main Street. Town planning staff will be available to answer questions and discuss key elements of the draft plan. The purpose of establishing Urban Development Areas is for a locality to strategically plan for future population and economic growth in areas that have high levels of access to utilities and transportation facilities. A well planned Urban Development Area will assist a locality in greater fiscal efficiency and improve eligibility for transportation funding. A steering committee of 11 local residents, business owners, and stakeholders from various backgrounds volunteered their time over the past 11 months to assist Town planning staff along with consultants from Michael Baker International and Renaissance Planning Group toward developing a long range plan for downtown Culpeper.

Culpeper Toy Chest, Christmas Basket begin donation collection Clore-English Funeral Home is excited to announce that it will continue to sponsor Culpeper’s 19th annual toy collection project for those less fortunate families under our new name, “Culpeper Toy Chest.” Formerly Toys for Tots, the organization changed its structure after a 2015 rule stating toys collected in Culpeper must be sent to the Northern Virginia distribution site, not locally. As in the past 18 years, all toys collected will be distributed locally, only through the Culpeper Toy Chest program and in conjunction with the Culpeper Community Christmas Basket Program, Inc., S.A.F.E. and C.C.D.C. As in the past, Clore-English Funeral Home and Culpeper Toy Chest is not responsible for qualifying any of the families that receive the toys collected.

Why I joined Youth Council: I started going to culpeper youth because I wanted to learn more about the community and help with some of the problems it has. How to make Culpeper a better place: What I think would benefit the community and quite frankly any community is if we calmly communicated with each other about our differences in order to find common ground, rather than let our emotions to divide us. As said by Abraham Lincoln "a house divided cannot stand."

This process is handled directly through the Culpeper Community Christmas Basket Program (Sue Jenkins-825-7768), S.A.F.E. (Services to Abused Families- 825-8891- Karen) and C.C.D.C.

Lifestyle Physicians opened its Culpeper location Saturday at 571 James Madison Highway, Suite B.

Lifestyle Physicians hosts grand opening By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

The patients of Lifestyle Physicians call the practice a family. On Saturday, several of those “family members” turned out to welcome the weight-loss clinic to Culpeper at it’s new location at 571 B James Madison Highway. Dr. Sagar Verma has been a practicing internal medicine hospitalist for the last 7 years. He opened the Warrenton location of Lifestyle Physicians almost two years to the day of the Culpeper opening and he received quite a response from the Culpeper community. Almost 60 percent of his clients traveled from Culpeper to Warrenton, so now he’s pleased to be offer a location closer to home. “It’s amazing, it’s a dream come true for me,” Dr. Verma said. “I work in the hospital here so I have many patients from Culpeper.” He uses his background and interest in obesity medicine and Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy to help reach a comprehensive approach to a healthier lifestyle and sustained weight loss. Along with Dr. Sheeba Asad, a licensed naturopathic doctor who joined the practice more than a year ago, they help ensure a client's’ success. Tripp Butler, Vice President at Virginia Community Bank, is one of the more successful clients the practice has. He’s lost 55 pounds since starting the program and has

helped introduce countless others to its benefits. “I went into this blindly,” Butler said. “I knew he was a good person and it just changed me.” Butler, an assistant coach for Eastern View High School’s football team, started this journey along with many others on the coaching staff. He said doing the program with friends and co-workers was a huge advantage. “I have a lot more energy, I eat better,” Butler said. “It’s a total lifestyle deal. I did this with several friends. We had great relationships the whole way through.” Steve Speelman, Eastern View’s head coach for boys lacrosse, saw his mother taking diabetic pills over the Christmas break and didn’t want to venture down that path as he grew older. He sought out Lifestyle Physicians and made a lifestyle change. “I was on a path of pre-diabetic,” Speelman said. “Now I have a clean bill of health. I’m very happy. He’s been able to do that for a lot of people.” Verma said many patients, like Butler and Speelman, have become like family. When he opened the Warrenton location, only five people visited. On Saturday, more than 30 were on hand for the opening of the Culpeper location, with the ribbon cutting being hosted by the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce. “It’s really exciting for us and we look forward to providing excellent services,” Dr. Verma said.

Culpeper County Public School fifth graders had a chance to interact with robotics at the Culpeper Regional Airport during the Culpeper Airfest STEM program Wednesday morning.

Fifth graders get preview of AirFest as focus on STEM grows By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

Culpeper County Public School fifth graders had their interest in engineering “take off ” Wednesday as they had a special tour of the Culpeper Regional Airport as part of the 2017 Culpeper AirFest. The program, a partnership between the AirFest and CCPS, introduced students to hands-on learning on subjects they’ve been talking about in classes. Through three hangars, presentations on virtual welding, drone simulations, porous asphalt, coding, robotics, riveting and more greeted the students as they were introduced to all the aspects that impact the airport. Dan Haug, AirFest Chairman, said the two-day program that incorporated 667 fifth-graders came about because of a presentation he saw at a conference about air shows. “They talked last year about the importance of introducing education into these air shows,” Haug said. “Part of it is the fact that, to be honest, aviation is on the decline across the country. Those of us that are passionate about it realize we have to get more kids involved in it. I’m also an engineer and I realize we need to get more kids involved in STEM.” Students eyes lit up as they learned about robotics, coding and drones. Fifth-

grader Ryan Burton said he was always interested in airplanes, even if he didn’t realize the airport was essentially in his backyard. “I’ve really enjoyed everything,” Burton said. “I think I enjoy the engineering the most. When I was little I always enjoyed planes. I loved all sorts of fighter planes and things like that. So being here is really fun for me.” Students had an opportunity after touring the hangars and the various booths inside to see some of the airplanes that will be on display at the AirFest. “That’s a key part of us too,” Haug said. “Every kid is getting an AirFest brochure. It’s a community awareness initiative.” AirFest chairman emeritus Mike Dale said that the STEM program dovetails nicely with another CCPS program offered in high school. “It’s the beginning of something linking to E-Squared,” Dale said, referencing the popular Career Partners program that is hosted at both Culpeper County High School and Eastern View High School. “The whole darn world knows very well we are short of people who can do things with their hands. STEM programs do that, where ever they are going - whether that’s to be a welder or going to college.” Introducing students at a young age to STEM and airplanes is key, he said. ➤ See STEM, Page 7

Culpeper Times • Oct. 12-18, 2017

➤ STEM, from Page 7 “It broadens their horizons at an age where they are really soaking things up,” Dale said. “I wanted to learn to be a pilot since I was 7 years old, and I got ignited by seeing an airplane. I think that’s what we’re doing here.” Randi Richards-Lutz, Director of Career and Technical Education and Technology, was excited to offer this opportunity to students, many of whom she admitted didn’t know Culpeper had an airport. She said the enthusiasm starts at the top, referencing Superintendent Dr. Tony Brads and his emphasis on STEM. It trickles down to the students, who joyfully bounced between demonstrations and their shouts of joy could be heard from hangar to hangar. “It starts with the adults, when the teachers and principals heard about this they were excited and the kids felt that,” Richards-Lutz said. On an education level, it’s important to tie together the concepts the students are taught with actual hands-on learning, said Sue Jenkins, Instructional Specialist Math and Science Specialist Liaison for Culpeper County Public Schools. “It’s very important because they are able to make the connections to the math, science and technology,” Jenkins said. “They can connect the topics they are learning in class and they can come and see how it’s used in real life at the airport.” For Ben Sherman, Germanna Community College Business and Career Coordinator, partnering with the schools and the AirFest was a natural alignment. He’s

been participating with the drone program at the AirFest for three years and young people always show an interest in the drones. “We’re just trying to get them into the STEM mode so they can see the difference aspects that airplanes are not just the only thing involved here,” Sherman said. “The engineering aspects of it are just huge.” Fifth grader Emma Chaney was excited to get out of the classroom and get her hands dirty - learning about asphalt from Chemung Contracting. “I sifted rocks and separated the dust from the rocks and I watched a 3D printer print,” she said, giggling. Another popular display was “Project Bearhawk,” a program hosted at the airport and funded through the Altron Foundation. The project is having students ages 15-25 build an airplane from scratch, through plans, with longtime mechanic instructor Tom Hazel. “I wanted to get a program going where we could invite in others who maybe were going into engineering or some other path other than on the job training,” Hazel said. “The goal is not to grow an airplane mechanic, but to grow skills for youngsters that have an interest in aviation.” Zachary Chapman, a 2016 CCHS graduate, was teaching students how to use a pneumatic riveter. “I think it’s pretty important because myself, as a fifth-grader, I liked working with my hands,” Chapman said. “A lot of kids don’t get a lot of experience working with their hands. You find a few kids that want to grow up in the industry. This opens their eyes to the field.”

How do I take care of my fall plants? Yes! It is finally Fall. As avid gardeners we know there are going to be some incredible end of season sales going on at most nurseries. We have already chosen the location in our garden we would like to put some more color, or add a new bed. We have laid out lines to show space requirements and probably have a soil test sitting on the garden bench just waiting for fall to get here. We begin the hunt looking for just the right plants at a more than perfect price. With each find we see our garden come to life a little more. We smile and take great pride knowing we will get to enjoy the blooms, scents and textures for

years to come. As I thought about what to write this month and moved through my day to day I continued to get many of the same questions from friends and clients. How do I take care of my newly planted plants? This question is a loaded one with no exact answer because we are dealing with nature. We have wind, temperature, sun exposure, rain or the lack of and then of course the plant itself. We need to figure in soil make up, quality of soil, plant species and plant needs. To be successful in the garden, remember PPPI. Proper Planning Prior to Installation, it starts with proper planning and then proper installation. Know your garden space. If your garden space is protected by large trees then the shade and total amount of light you're getting should be included in your planning. Plantings that will do well in

matching light conditions should be chosen and plantings with similar needs should be planted with each other. Remember those same large trees are landscape pigs. The trees are going to suck out moisture and nutrients from your soil so amendments will be necessary. Soil can change in as little as 3' so just because one plant is dry may not mean all of them are I prefer to use a soaker system in areas around trees to help balance the moisture in the soil. However if you're going to be hand watering check your plantings at the root crown prior to watering them. Plants can tolerate a lack of water better than they can to much water. Remember to feed your planting. Even if you have properly prepped the soil prior to planting, plantings in the shadow of a large tree will be competing for nutrients with that tree's root system and will

need a sustainable supply if you want them to be successful. Evergreen plantings planted in the fall should be watched closely for winter burn. During winters where there is not much moisture and cold temperatures evergreens such as holly, Arborvitae and magnolia are very susceptible to winter burn. Keep an eye on your soil around your trees. I have found installing a piece of 2" pvc to the bottom of the root ball allows me to get water below the frozen ground and helps to reduce the risk of winter burn. Putting a cap on the top of this pvc helps to keep the cold out as well as would be unwanted tenants looking for a place to get out of the winter cold.

Now with higher maximum payment amounts and increased options for lower income families, payments can be as high as $240 (pump outs), $4,000 repairs, $6,400 (full systems), $8,000

(full pump systems, and $19,200 (alternate engineered systems). Actual reimbursement levels vary with household income levels. The District is currently emphasizing opportunities for full system replacement for those situations that either lack a bona fide system or those where the system is already beginning to fail. According the Greg Wichelns, District Manager of the SWCD, “experience has shown us over the past nine years of septic cost share grants that these situations do exist and they are not that uncommon. It is only a matter of time before these cease to function.”

The primary focus of the grants the District administers is to reduce the levels of E. Coli bacteria in some local streams that currently do not meet state water quality standards for E. Coli. The District has four different grants known as TMDL grants that address various areas of the District. There is also a grant that covers the entire district. In addition, septic system impacts on the Chesapeake Bay are coming under increased scrutiny and that is likely to further increase. “Now is a very good time to consider what these grants we have can do for you, says Wichelns. The grant opportunities to obtain

the assistance exist now but will not be around forever.” In addition to the increases in cost share available, there is also a new practice that pays for both a pump out and a full system inspection. Any needed repairs identified by the inspection can then be funded through a repair practice. Wichelns creates an analogy to automobile maintenance: “This is a heck of a good deal. If this existed for automobiles it would mean you’d get a reimbursement for inspecting your car and then you get a reimbursement for repairing it too. Think about it. That’s a good deal!”

Pollinator garden planting scheduled for Oct. 19 at Yowell Meadow Park The Town of Culpeper, the Department of Game and Inland (DGIF) Fisheries’ Habitat Partners© Program, and the Old Rag Chapter of the Virginia Master Naturalist invite the public and volunteers to participate in the Pollinator Habitat Garden Planting Day at Yowell Meadow Park at 9 a.m. Oct. 19. The Town of Culpeper Public Works crew has prepared an excellent 2,500 sq. ft. site that

is ready to be planted with a variety of native plant species. The Habitat Partners© Program of the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (DGIF) is supporting the project at Yowell Meadow Park, by providing technical assistance and by purchasing native plants for the installation. The Old Rag Master Naturalists will be assisting in the planting and continued maintenance of the garden; as well as providing

educational programs to the community as the garden develops. The purpose of the pollinator habitat garden is to create a beautiful public space that promotes awareness to the public regarding the importance of native plants, pollinator plants, and pollinator species to the local environment. Please bring any planting tools that you prefer, water, snacks and/or a packed lunch.

REAL ESTATE FEATURED PROPERTY - 37 Sycamore Ridge, Sperryville, VA

Private country home full of history Considering a country home or retreat, something different, a change of pace, a bit of fun, peacefulness and charm close to National Park hiking trails? Oh my, keep reading. From the energetic village of Sperryville, wind along the Thornton River through Old Hollow to a small ridge where you will find this surprise, a delightfully remodeled older home surrounded by lush native gardens, two sheds and a vegetable patch, with a big yard and forest behind. Oh yes, a mountain view! Plenty of space for company with living, dining, reading, music and garden rooms, all offset by a lovely master suite with exotic tiled tub, plus two more bedrooms and bath. You will find many fine touches to this quality home, from an antique glass door, to the steel roof to the front rocking porch. A nicely private country home within walking distance of the Hull

School Trail into the National Park. This great hike crosses the river up to the vague remnants of the once thriving Hull School community evicted by the government. A sad tale but a beautiful hike that forks in three

directions for explorers. This property is currently approved for use as a Residence or Tourist Home and offered for $425,000 by Kaye and Rick Kohler, Real Estate III, purveyors of fun and interesting properties in

➤ Grant, from Page 11 ing high-speed Internet in Central and Eastern Virginia since 2003. VABB provides wireless Internet service through radio frequency technology to hundreds of homes and businesses in its primary markets of Culpeper, Orange, and Madison counties as well as the Northern Neck region of Virginia. In order to get close to its customer base and deliver the fast speeds demanded by today’s Internet consumers, VABB typically uses commercial cell towers and other tall structures like silos, barns, house roofs, and now Microspot poles to broadcast their unique wireless Internet service. By broadcasting a radio signal from tall, vertical structures nearby, VABB customers are only one to five miles (as the crow fly’s) from the World-Wide-Web. “Your Internet traffic wirelessly goes from your rooftop to a VABB

tower then maybe another tower and then right into the Internet”, said Lenig, who helped establish the company in 2003. “Unfortunately, many rural homes and businesses are not reachable due to the hills, hollows, and trees,” Lenig added. “The terrain in our region is our biggest obstacle and that’s where Microsoft’s grant comes in. “We have over 30 of these utility poles scattered throughout our network,” said Garrett Shankle, VABB’s chief technician. “Getting close to our customers means better reception of our Non-Line-OfSight (NLOS) radio technology. The fewer trees we need to pass through, the faster the speeds. And, if a customer can literally see our broadcast structure from their home or business property, they can experience speeds well above the FCC (Federal Communications Commission) guidelines of 25mb/s downloading.”

1946) Director Robert Siodmak and screenwriter Anthony Veiller, both nominated for an Oscar, took the original Ernest Hemingway short story as the film's opening point and developed it with an elaborate series of flashbacks, creating a classic example of film noir. Two killers shatter a small town's quiet before an insurance investigator (Edmond O'Brien) digs up crime, betrayal, and a glamorous woman (Ava Gardner) behind the death of an ex-fighter (Burt Lancaster in his electrifying film debut). The noir aesthetic is heightened by the Miklós Rózsa score and Arthur

Hilton’s editing, both of which were nominated for Academy Awards. “The Killers” was added to the National Film Registry in 2008. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations required.

VIEWS

Looking Ahead: Navigating senior care options when life doesn’t go according to the plan Life can be summed up as a series of plans. Plans can be well thought out, secondary plans or reactive plans. Some individuals tend to plan more than others. Whether you’re a planner or not plans play a role in your life. Time is spent planning for graduation, college, marriage, parenthood, vacations and retirement. Sometimes life goes according to plan and sometimes it doesn’t. Many would agree that life would be a lot less complicated if it went according to “the” plan. Those that plan spend their time following their plan or making alternate plans when things don’t go according to the plan. While others

I have been blessed by having Brad as my representative as a

Duncan is the better choice for Jefferson District

In 2014 the Board of Supervisors wanted to update the country's noise ordinance. I took my concerns to my supervisor and spoke at public hearings. The majority of Board members dismissed public input as equal to nuisance noise. In April and July, Mr. Rosenberger, Jefferson District Supervisor, advocated giving "teeth" to the ordinance by

who fail to plan, spend their lives in a reactive state to things that occur in life. One area of life that people don’t necessarily like to plan for is getting older. It is the goal of most people to live healthy, independent and active lives free of disease and disability. Statistics show that people are achieving this goal and living longer. However, what if that is not your trajectory? Have you given any thought about life after your retirement and how to navigate the continuum of care that may be required during your later years of life? Have you thought about being the primary caregiver for your parents or spouse? Professionals in the healthcare field are seeing trends of individuals being reactive to aging and navigating the continuing of care. It is necessary to begin understanding the continuum of care prior to a catastrophic event. Stress and emotions are high during catastrophic events. Planning ahead and knowing

what resources are available ahead of time will help you to make a more educated decision on the most appropriate service available to you. Planning for your future is so much more than saving. Understanding the differences between Medicare, Medicaid and Private Insurances is critical in knowing what services you may or may not qualify. In patient rehab, long term care facilities, assisted living, memory care facilities, skilled home care services, in home support services, palliative care and hospice care are some of the stages of senior care. Each one of these providers within the senior continuum of care provides a different level of service and is paid for differently. Are you familiar with these stages of care and how you would qualify or pay for the services in the event that you or loved one may be in need in the future? Aging Together is a great community resource that works

hard to educate the local community about options available to seniors and their caregivers. Aging Together builds collaborations that create and enhances supports for older persons and their caregivers. If you’re interested in learning more about promoting optimal health and wellness by increasing awareness and connections to services; aging together is a great local resource. For more information about Aging Together you can visit www. agingtogether.org or call 540-8296405. The Culpeper County library is another great resource and community partner involved in helping people navigate their options in senior care. The next program is The Power of Connection; Selma’s Story is on Oct. 28 at 11 a.m. Join Selma, a caregiver who cared for her mother during her journey of dementia. Laugh, cry and leave encouraged.

Supervisor in the county government for the last twenty years. On a number of occasions I, for myself as well as for my neighbors have requested that Brad intervene on my/ our behalf for issues such as proper marking of the primary highway, Highway 633 in our area, for the installation of school crossings, stoppage, etc. and the plea for the local postmaster to allow their carrier to deliver mail into the neighborhood rather than drop main in boxes along a busy highway, the recovery being a high risk endeavor. In every instance Brad had come through. I am a retired Sailor who knows nothing about farming except it is essential to the economic growth and maintenance of low taxes in Culpeper.

I do, however, know a large number of farmers. To the man, each individual questioned has nothing but high praise for Brad. His knowledge of the farmers issues based on being a 5th generation farmer allows him to represent these individuals and their way of life in such a manner that farming is and continues to be a major component in the economic train of Culpeper county. Brad is not a politician. He is a working family man who cares deeply for the health and wellbeing of his neighbors. He understands and constantly support the needs of basic education in our school system. He understands that every student does not need a college education but needs to be prepared for a meaningful

job which not only improves their quality of life but adds to the value of our local work force whether he/she is a plumber, carpenter, mechanic or electrician. The steady hand and common sense approach to decision making by the Board of Supervisors of Culpeper needs the continued presence of Brad Rosenberger. I strongly appeal to your understanding of the need for such a thoughtful approach to problem solving as exhibited by Brad. Please cast your ballot for county supervisor for the Jefferson District on Nov. 7 for the reelection of Brad Rosenberger.

increasing the penalty for a violation to a Class 2 misdemeanor, with up to $1000 fines and 6 months in jail. In July he voted to do away with warnings. He voted to change the start of quiet hours in the winter to 6 pm instead of 10 pm. These changes and others led to the Sept 2014 public hearing where a large unhappy crowd packed the meeting. By the way, farmers like Mr. Rosenberger are exempt from the ordinance. Chuck Duncan or his wife, Carol attended every committee and Board meeting and spoke at every public

hearing involved with the noise ordinance. They defended the rights of average citizens to use their snowblowers, target shoot on their property, or even go Christmas caroling without fear of legal action. Chuck was the leader on this local issue. The Culpeper County Republican Committee and Republican Women's group joined Chuck in opposition to the ordinance and sent resolutions to the Board of Supervisors. Chuck worked with other citizens like myself to advocate for a solution that would be

fair to all who live in the county. In the end, the Board bowed to public pressure and tabled the changes to the ordinance. This long painful bureaucratic process made me realize how detached our government has become from the people it is supposed to serve. The Jefferson District is very lucky to have a choice on Nov. 7 like Chuck Duncan for supervisor.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

REC increase could shock many customers Customers of Rappahannock Electric Cooperative could be in for a shock when they open their bills next year. In a filing with Virginia’s State Corporation Commission, REC seeks to double its fixed monthly access charge, which all customers must pay, regardless of how much or how little electricity they consume. REC announced its rate filing in the July issue of its magazine Cooperative Living but failed to mention the proposal’s key feature—the accesscharge doubling. In its August issue REC finally mentioned the doubling, but that issue arrived too late to allow customers to weigh in on the plan by participating as parties in the rate case. What REC has not told its customers is that doubling their monthly access charges is a major rearrangement of how the co-op allocates its rates among customers. The changed structure favors customers who consume large amounts of electricity over those who use less. Customers with low monthly usage will see their bills increase by a far higher percentage than their fellow co-op members with high consumption. Most of REC’s low-consumption customers are people of limited income, including many retirees. Limited-income customers reduce electricity consumption to keep their bills affordable. They now find REC, inexplicably, working against them. The American Association of Retired Persons (AARP) has opposed rate-restructuring efforts like REC’s

that increase fixed monthly charges. Joining AARP in fighting utility fixed-charge increases are the NAACP, Consumers Union, and the National Consumer Law Center. All these groups point out that increasing fixed fees, as REC has proposed, makes it harder for customers to control their monthly bills. State regulators across the country have agreed, often rejecting or scaling back utilities’ proposals to increase fixed monthly charges. But it’s not just low-income customers that REC’s new rate structure treats harshly. Also disproportionately harmed are people who invest in efficiency measures to avoid waste and reduce costs. And some REC-targeted customers are people who have installed rooftop solar to reduce costs, help the co-op reduce demand at peak (expensive) hours, and reduce pollution. In a filing in REC’s rate case Melissa Whited of Synapse Energy Economics notes that the co-op could raise needed revenues without disproportionately favoring one group of customers over another. Whited points out that REC’s proposal, by favoring those who consume more over those who consume less, gives price signals that promote waste in electricity consumption. This conflicts with REC’s efforts to reduce the co-op’s costs, including costs of expensive energy at times of peak usage. Customers whom REC has targeted should feel betrayed by their co-op’s move to balance its books on their backs. How did this happen? We can’t know what the board considered in approving the proposed rate restructuring, because it meets behind

closed doors. That’s contrary to the principle of openness that ought to govern co-ops with a state-sanctioned monopoly. A co-op’s customers, after all, own the firm. (REC will provide meeting minutes to co-op members on request, but the meeting minutes don’t provide details of board deliberations.) REC’s insular, secretive board culture is a major part of the problem. It shuts out dissenting views and allows management to control a pliable board. Unlike REC, some electric co-ops open their board meetings to all co-op members and provide board members’ contact information on their websites. REC’s board sets its own (generous) pay behind closed doors. The board a few years ago even blocked a co-op member’s effort to require disclosure of each board member’s total annual pay. With that sort of cavalier attitude toward the co-op members who pay the board’s compensation, it’s easy to see how REC’s board could be oblivious to how its actions harm lower-income customers. Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring, through his Office of Consumer Counsel, has intervened in REC’s rate case. REC’s lowconsumption customers should hope that the Consumer Counsel will seek to block the co-op from implementing an ill-advised rate restructuring. Seth Heald is a member/owner of REC. He received an MS degree in energy policy and climate this year from Johns Hopkins University and serves as chair of the Sierra Club Virginia Chapter.

undoubtedly the right person to continue in the role of Culpeper Supervisor, a calling that he has flawlessly answered for more than 30 years. The citizens and visitors of Culpeper County deserve a Supervisor that is as well-founded and benevolent as Brad Rosenberger.

Silver linings 'On Golden Pond'

Humor and sadness and loons, memory of the past, defiance of the future, shadows of regret and fear. All who have watched their parents grow old, who see themselves growing old, understand “On Golden Pond.” Ernest Thompson’s family comedy/drama played on Broadway in 1979, but gained wide recognition with the 1982 movie starring Henry and Jane Fonda as – surprise – father and daughter, and Katherine Hepburn in what must have been her thousandth performance as frail-but-indomitableKatherine Hepburn. Now a gold star on regional theatre circuits, “On Golden Pond” makes its first appearance at Riverside under the direction of Sherri Edelen. There is much to admire and only a few things to question in this play of simple surfaces and complex underpinnings. Norman and Ethel Thayer have returned to their summer home on Golden Pond as they have every year of their long marriage. In the course of the summer, Norman will turn 80, their only child, Chelsea, will arrive bringing her soon-to-be husband, Bill,

Call: (540) 370-4300 or visit www.riversidedt.com Playing through Nov. 19 and stepson, Billy. Chelsea and Bill will head for Europe leaving Billy with the Thayers. And the loons will return to the lake to raise their young. Within this capsule, some things become startlingly clear. Not only is Norman terrified of the implications of his growing loss of memory, Ethel is equally afraid for him, and her unrelieved dance of enthusiasm and denial, her pretense that nothing has really changed, is a fragile barrier to mortality. Add to this the fact that Chelsea and Norman simply don’t like each other. Maybe not “simply.” Chelsea spent her formative years trying to please him and he spent them not being pleased. This is one of the big questions that is never addressed by script or implication. Did he just want a boy and was disappointed in a girl? We don’t know. Plenty is done right in this production, but the real coup is Joe ➤ See Curtain Calls, Page 23

TIMES

Culpeper Times • Oct. 12-18, 2017 ➤ Curtain Calls, from Page 22 Inscoe and Joyce DeWitt as the comfortable-as-an-old-slipper pairing of Norman and Ethel Thayer. Inscoe, a seasoned performer of great range, does us the favor of never falling lazily into the grumpy-but-cute-old man category. He’s grumpy, all right, but his deadpan observations landing with a “thwack” wherever they’re tossed provide the real humor of the play. He’s a hardshelled crab, and his crankiness and wry remarks spring from a deep center where only the occasional flash of fear and love appears. Joyce DeWitt was a special find for this show. Best remembered for her role in the TV series “Three’s Company,” she uses frantic chirpiness to counter Norman’s daily death talk. Because she was as frenetic chasing a moth as she

LOCAL NEWS was greeting her daughter or remarking on the loons, I found myself longing for a bit of shading – something to separate the importance of the moments. The late climactic scene, however, plumbed the depths of both Norman and Ethel, and created a hear-a-pin-drop moment of emotion and discovery. The arrival of Chelsea (Jennifer Joyner) and fiancé, Bill Ray, (Alan Hoffman) provides another rub for revealing Norman in his old coot glory. With Chelsea, the cold tension is palpable; all the resentments, blame, and refusal to take the blame just sit between them like an undigestible meal. With Bill, however, their minor conflict is played for all its entertaining worth. Bill politely asks for Norman’s approval before sleeping with Chelsea under their roof, and Norman’s widely known reputation for being difficult comes

shining forth. It’s a funny scene. Andrew Boothby as mailman, Charlie Martin, maintains the desired balance between outsider and comfortable family friend, and – I am relieved to say – did not harm himself trying to affect a Maine accent as some performers do. His occasional dropins give Ethel a chance to voice bits of exposition as well as her own fears. But the jewel in the crown is young Billy (Mitchell Austin) who will spend the rest of the summer dragging Norman out of himself, bonding in a fishing boat. This part can be thrown away without effect, but Mr. Austin is a youth of remarkable talent and presence. As a 13-year-old cool kid, he matches timing and wit with a grudgingly fascinated Norman and becomes the subtle catalyst for change. Michael Jarett’s warm lighting

complements Frank Foster’s detailed interior scene design. The stone fireplace, wood paneled walls with multiple family pictures, the suggestion of rafters and hint of outdoors all work together in a visual reminder of the slow but cumulative passage of years. The furniture is uncovered at the beginning and covered again at the end in preparation for the long winter ahead. The baby loons are leaving the nest. Maybe they’ll be back next year. “On Golden Pond” is an ideal dramatic buffer between musicals. A delicate combination of humor, reflection, fear, and reconciliation – if that’s your cup of tea, go to Riverside and have a sip.

LET’S EAT!

Comte cheese is a way of life

Where do you begin to talk about a cheese that’s over a thousand years old? Not like one piece, that would be epic – a Jurassic cheese. No, this one cheese is more than the preservation of milk or a common recipe; it’s a way of life. When this cheese’s name is spoken to turophiles (Cheese lovers), it evokes swooning. Well, I think so at least. Call it hyperbole or cheese geeky, but this one cheese has beauty, love and some insanity mixed in every step. To find this cheese, look to Eastern France, just south of Dijon and above the Rhone. There, in the mountainous region sharing a peaked border with Switzerland, is Jura - home to Comte cheese. Comte is a cheese that, through taste, defines the sense of a place (and season). The French call the concept “terroir” or a taste of place. How do you do that? Go old school. Put out of your mind contemporary flavors like um, Pumpkin Spice Pringles or Doritos Habenero/ Guacamole where, with some effort, you could find the chemists who help design these flavored concoctions. Start thinking of The Walton’s (Remember, “Good night Johnboy”?) for a good place to begin. Picture farms dotted all over valleys and up

against steep gorges in France’s Jura region (which also makes some kick ass wines) with Montbeliarde and French Simmental cows. These big (almost Jurassic looking) cows are the protected foundation of this cheese. By protected I mean it’s only the milk form these cows that can go into the making of the cheese. Moreover, each of these cows has to have a requisite free space to graze. If you are counting, these are two of the many established standards to make this cheese. Dairy cooperatives, called “Fruiteries”, receive the cow’s milk and make Comte. Just to make sure that the stage is set – this is done at multiple locations, more than 150 of them, making the same cheese all over Jura. If, in your mind, you are seeing the same result, we need to talk. The variables are infinite. From weather, to what’s in bloom, to the lactation cycle of the cows, the milk, and thus the cheese, vary. Need more variations? Affineurs (cheese agers) develop more variations in the cheese with different aging lengths that develop and extract yet more flavors. How is this still one cheese with so many possible outcomes? First, know that this is not the Wild West of cheese – Judges evaluate and taste each wheel (talk about a dream job) to maintain standards. Standards of quality, not taste before being released for sale. And that’s the fun of it. In this one cheese type, from one piece of land and the same cows there are 83 defined tastes in six groups (Lactic, Fruity, Roasted, Vegetal, animal and Spicy). Are you ready to explore? I am!

COURTESY PHOTO

Marie E. Washington, Esq. was named a 2017 "Excel" Honoree by the Women in Worship Sept. 9

Washington awarded "Excel" honoree by Women in Worship Women in Worship has recognized the exceptional performance of Marie E. Washington, Esq. as a 2017 "Excel" Honoree. The Women in Worship held an awards banquet in Fredericksburg, Virginia on Sept. 9. Washington was among eleven professional women to receive the designation. Women in Worship Ministries was founded in 2009 and is the vision of three women who combined their God-given talents, skills and abilities to produce a "Women's Conference" in 2006, 2007 and

2008. These conferences were so successful and in such high demand, that they provided the "blue print" for other area churches and ministries to follow their lead. In time, God revealed the vision to move the "Women's Conference" into a "ministry" that would provide an opportunity for more women and girls to draw closer to God and learn what He has in store for their lives. We congratulate Marie E. Washington on this achievement and we are honored to have her as a 2017 "Excel" Honoree.
