LOCAL NEWS Skelton painting to be displayed at Ft. Bragg ➤ Original work depicting Monument Men project was displayed in Museum of Culpeper History

By Jeff Say

Culpeper Times Staff Writer A piece of Culpeper history will hang at the JFK Special Warfare Museum in Ft. Bragg.

Last Thursday, the Windmore Foundation for the Arts presented Roxanne M. Merritt, Director/ Curator JFK Special Warfare Museum, with a painting depicting the Arts, Monuments and Archive team from World War II categorizing artwork retrieved from Nazi Germany.

The artist, Culpeper’s own Dorothy Skelton, was a member of the “Monuments Men” team in Wiesbaden, Germany, and she later painted her recollection of the moment. In the painting, an airplane can be seen in the background while civilian and Army officials open a box containing artwork.

Fran Cecere, who helped discover the painting at Windmore’s storage facility several years ago, presented the painting - which has hung at the Museum of Culpeper History for the past three years to Merritt during Windmore’s annual meeting.

Merritt, who was the one who alerted Cecere to the fact that Skelton was a member of the Monuments Men, was excited to display the painting at Fort Bragg.

“I’d keep calling about once every year asking if it was time yet (to borrow it),” Merritt said. “It worked out for us perfectly because we just moved into a new building and we have a larger area

We can really showcase this painting the way we want to showcase it.”

The special warfare museum is a regimental museum of special forces, psychological operations and civil affairs and is used as a teaching area for troops coming through those regiments.

The Civil Affairs regiment was recently featured in the movie “Monuments Men,” recounting efforts of the 21 women (including 12 from U.S.) and many men who recovered artwork from Nazi Germany.

The museum, approximately 3,000 square feet, had a total of 38,000 visitors one year and visitors and troops alike will now be able to view Skelton’s painting.

Skelton is so important is because you have civil affairs officers coming through and this is a way of showing what civil affairs officers did in World War II,” Merritt said.

“It’s also very inspirational to women in special operations who don’t get much credit.”

Merritt told of how Skelton was part of a group that refused orders from the U.S. government to send the artwork back to the U.S. and instead locked themselves in a building with the artwork until it was agreed to redistribute it to the museums it came from.

“They knew they could have been court martialed and so the art went back to Germany,” she said.

Lt. Col. Clara Driscoll came to Culpeper to help transport the painting and she said that Skelton

is an inspiration to all Civil Affairs officers.

“This is very empowering and when this painting hangs in the special warfare museum, not only current women in Civil Affairs but also women training to go into Civil Affairs will be able to see this and I believe it will be as inspiring for them as it has been for me,” Driscoll said.

Skelton, listed by her maiden name Simmons, is on the list of Civil Affairs officers in the Monuments Men that can be viewed at MonumentsMen.org.

Merritt said she wasn’t shocked to find out that Skelton was heavily involved with an arts foundation after leaving the service.

“It just made sense to me, I just thought it was cool I could find something on her,” Merritt said.

COMMUNITY NEWS

Reformation Lutheran hosts senior Bible school Vacation Bible Schools are a staple of summer, but it’s normally for the youth of the community.

Reformation Lutheran Church is trying something a bit different this year - offering vacation Bible school for seniors July 9-11 and a “Grand Camp” for grandparents and grandchildren July 14.

“Our population is aging quickly,” Reformation Lutheran Church administrator Heather Nungesser said. “Recent studies have shown that Virginia anticipates by 2030, the 65-plus population is expected to double what it was in 2010. Culpeper County is a retirees dream residence area.”

Since 2010, there has been a 183 percent increase in residents over 60 in the county and Reformation Lutheran is searching for ways to continue to minister to them.

“Seeing that’s the largest part of our population, Reformation and Pastor Brad (Hales) in particular desires to minister to that group,” Nungesser said.

The senior adult Vacation Bible School came about after seniors asked if they could have one after seeing the joy of the children’s camp.

“You see a lot of joy in everyone when we do children’s VBS, it really does perk everyone up,” Nungesser said.

“So then the adults have always joked ‘why don’t we do something like this for us.’”

The camp will be held from July 9-11 from 9 a.m. to noon each day. It will feature Bible study, a featured speaker and a fellowship lunch.

On July 9, Carol Simpson, of Aging Together, will talk about “Stages of Ages,” on July 10 Toni Browning, from Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services, will speak about “Aging Support Services, and on July 11 Culpeper Town Police Master Police Officer Mike Grant will

CULPEPER YOUTH SPOTLIGHT

Culpeper Youth partner with Cintas (Editor's note: This is weekly series highlighting members of Culpeper's Youth Council. To join Culpeper Youth, go to www.culpeperyouth.org to apply.)

Culpeper Youth is an opportunity. Every meeting we work together to create events and bring awareness to to issues our community faces. We give our members a chance to get involved and learn valuable skills for the future. Through our partnership with CINTAS we are excited to expand that mission.

CINTAS will be working with some of our members in the field that interests them most. Positions in management, sales, HR, marketing, and more are available at CINTAS, and they have offered to allow interested members to come in and shadow employees in those departments.

While going to college is great: going straight into the workforce is just as viable an option. CINTAS provides such an opportunity, and is as good a choice as any for a hopeful graduate. Culpeper Youth is proud to be partnered with them for that reason. talk about “Senior Scams.”

The Grand Camp will be a one-day camp for grandparents of all ages and grandchildren from 3 to 18.

The lesson being taught is: “The beginning of wisdom is: Acquire wisdom; and with all your acquiring, get understanding." Proverbs 4:7 “What’s most important for me

is grandparents get to see their grandkids as enjoyable and not a burden or a pest or someone they get to babysit,” Nungesser said. “Grandkids get to see their grandparents as someone willing to have fun.”

Culpeper Chamber of Commerce hosts Valor Awards July 12

The Culpeper Chamber of Commerce is honoring heroes in our community July 12.

The inaugural Valor Awards is a way to honor the dedicated public servants in our community who give of their time as police officers, volunteer firefighters and EMS personnel.

“We want to thank those individuals who volunteer and put their life on the line,” Martha Sanford, Culpeper Chamber of Commerce Director of Programming, said.

The program got a kickstart last year when Jennifer Puffenbarger, of Puffenbarger Insurance, joined the chamber. She had served on a similar committee for the Fauquier County Chamber of Commerce and Sanford enlisted her to help start the Valor Awards here in Culpeper.

The first step was reaching out to law enforcement and the volunteer fire and rescue organizations to explain to them the goal behind the awards ceremony.

The Culpeper Police Department and Culpeper County Sheriff’s Office will have representatives honored as well as four volunteer organizations.

Ed’s Awards and Engraving will be providing the awards for the evening and Shawn’s Smokehouse BBQ & Catering Company will be the caterer.

The awards ceremony will be held at Boxwoods Celebration Venue, 4488 True Blue Road from 6 to 8:30 p.m.

The event’s signature sponsor is Novant Health UVA Health System Culpeper Medical Center.

Tickets are $30 for chamber members and $40 for general admission.

For more information contact Sanford at Marthas@ culpeperchamber.com or call 825.8628.

“I’m excited for this event to become an annual way for the Chamber to give back to the community," Sanford said.

Proud to serve the Culpeper community!

Senior Bowl raises funds for RRCS programs

By Jeff Say

Culpeper Times Staff Writer Bowling for Seniors had another successful fundraiser for Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services June 23, showing huge support for seniors in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock counties.

Ray Parks, director of aging and transportation services for RRCS, said that the bowling fundraiser is essential to generating funds for the five county senior program.s “It’s a great chance to put our services on display for the community,” Parks said. “In order to make our budget we rely on fundraising for all of our programs. What this does is contribute toward local funds that goes into our services.”

Parks said that about half of the funds for aging services come from state and federal funds. The rest of the money is raised through fees, grants and fundraising.

“Each of our senior centers in the five counties are the focal point of our services,” Parks said. “We do offer a lot more services than the senior centers, but that is the face of RRCS for aging services. The

“The response has been fantas-

tic, this looks like it’s shaping up to be one of our best years ever,” Parks said.

Other programs include insurance counseling, providing adult

day care in Warrenton and community services providing transportation and some housing options.

“We can’t do it without the community support we get,” Parks said.

Jim LaGraffe, new executive director of RRCS, said this outpouring of support is unique to this area.

“This is fantastic, I think the reception of our organization and our senior service here is just tremendous,” LaGraffe said. “This area of Virginia is unique. This is not the norm, it’s a wonderful, embracing community.”

Gladys Williams, director of the Culpeper Senior Center, is the face of the Culpeper organization. She gushed about the response the annual bowling event had this year.

“It shows how much the community shows support to our senior centers,” Williams said. “If it weren’t for the community, we couldn’t do what we do. The sponsors all come from our communities.”

Members of the Culpeper Town Police Department helped MC the event and interacted with the seniors.

By Jeff Say

Culpeper Times Staff Writer The Arbors at Culpeper is filling a need for affordable senior living in Culpeper.

The new senior living community, located at 15255 Ira Hoffman Lane, opened officially June 21 with a ribbon cutting sponsored by the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce.

“Our goal has always been to create lovely, affordable communities that seniors can come enjoy,” Dave Jester, President of Marlyn Development Corporation said.

“When a senior is engaged, when a senior meets new people, when a senior is active, when a senior is healthy it’s good for the community.”

Jester said MDC recognized Culpeper

as an area with a need, and the town and county worked hard to help fill that void.

Town Mayor Mike Olinger explained that the tap fee structure and tap fee rates were lowered to help accommodate The Arbors and help them come to Culpeper.

“We’re very excited to see this project come to fruition,” Olinger said. “We’re very excited they are bringing some affordable senior housing to our community. We’re excited to have them in Culpeper.”

Jester said that the fact the town was willing to lower their rates showed that they recognized the importance of building affordable senior communities.

“They really got it and did their homework on us,” Jester said. “Considering this ➤ See Arbors, Page 7

International Bible study comes to Culpeper this fall

By Amy Wagner Contributing Writer

An international, interdenominational, intergenerational bible study is coming to Culpeper this fall. Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) began just over fifty years ago and today there are over 2,000 classes, meeting weekly, in over thirty countries worldwide.

Though they study the same scripture, men and women meet in different groups each week.

Their approach is simple, “Chapter by chapter, verse by verse, we approach the Bible as God’s Truth, to be studied, savored and lived out,” and can be found on their website at www.bsfinternationalorg. Each study begins in September and continues through the first or second week of May. Each group meets once a week with two breaks during the series, for Christmas and Easter. Until last September, the closest groups available for both men and women were meeting in Fredericksburg. A women’s bible study was established in Culpeper last September meeting every Wednesday at Culpeper Baptist Church.

Jan Hayes, BSF Discussion Group Leader for the women’s Culpeper group, is excited about its success. “Because of the success of our ladies’ class BSF hopes to establish a men’s group in Culpeper as well,” she said.

Hayes refers to the Culpeper men’s group as a satellite group, “meaning that the home-based lecture is in Fredericksburg on Monday nights and will be recorded for the Culpeper discussion group.”

Bryan Prosser, Teaching Leader for the BSF men’s class in Fredericksburg recently said, “In the typical class, you come together as a small group every week with a fa-

➤ Arbors, from Page 6 location and the population within an hours drive of here, it’s pretty substantial.”

The Arbors cost between $18 and $20 million to build and includes a 132-apartment complex with a fitness room, community room, media room, arts and crafts room, beauty salon, outdoor grilling area, dog park coming by next week, raised garden beds and a business center.

Franklin Johnston Group will serve as the management company of the facility, and they already manger 2,000 apartments for Jester’s group, including close to 1,000 senior apartments.

There are 15 market rate apartments in the complex and the rest are considered affordable living for seniors.

The one bedroom rate for affordable rent is $873 and the two bedroom falls in the $995 range. Market rates are $1,300 for a one bedroom and $1,500 for a two-bedroom apartment.

cilitator. The lesson is based on discussion from the study the week before.” Though this year’s study has culminated, Prosser hopes local men will be interested in the fall BSF satellite study. “It all happens inside the class but we are moving into doing something virtual,” said Prosser recently.

“We are starting virtual discussion groups so if there are no BSF groups in your area you can join a satellite discussion groups. If there are a number of people in a particular area, they can join through satellite and don’t have to drive to the meeting area.”

As noted on their website, BSF uses a four- fold approach in their bible studies.

These include: question, discuss, listen and learn. The organization encourages participants to use private time to explore daily questions from scripture; discuss passages with class members; listen to the week’s lesson during class; and study notes after class to learn further about the scripture. “The goal is to draw closer to God and develop that relationship,” said Prosser.

Next year’s study begins the week of September 11. The study is People of the Promised Land –Part 1 beginning with Joshua and leading up to the point of the nation of Israel dividing. There is no cost to participate in the studies which are limited to small groups of fifteen. Prosser, who has been the Teaching Leader of the Fredericksburg evening men’s class since 2010, recently described BSF during a phone conversation saying, “International is just one piece. It’s not only international, interdenominational, intergenerational; it’s ‘inter’ everything. We welcome everyone.”

For more information on the BSF satellite men’s group, contact Bryan Prosser at gbprosser63@gmail.com.

Pets are welcome, with a $350 pet fee to start and then a $25 pet rent monthly.

Behind the complex are solar panels which will feed into the grid of the building and help offset energy usage by the community rooms. Jester said they have heard from the neighboring community and Northridge and are adding more trees to the rear of the panels.

“We want to be a good neighbor,” Jester said.

Jester said they will have nine senior living complexes built by the end of the year for a total of nearly 1,500 senior apartments.

Other amenities include a van that will shuttle seniors for trips and shopping, and an emergency cord that will signal a control panel that is monitored 24/7.

“The number of emergency calls is actually pretty small,” Jester said. “You tend to create a new neighborhood. Everyone looks out for everybody.”

HOME & GARDEN If you see a fawn . . .

On June 14, as I turned onto a quiet gravel road off Thornton Gap Church Road, I almost ran into a small doe and her tiny spotted fawn headed in my direction. The two deer quickly turned around and then ran off one side of the road but took different paths — the doe into brush along a stream, and the fawn up a path toward an unmowed field.

Having stopped the car, I waited for a couple of minutes, giving the doe time to reunite with the fawn, which was not yet steady on its feet. I finally edged the car up the road, looking toward the path the fawn had taken.

A few yards, in I could see the doe’s head poking above the tall grass, eyes turned toward me. Assuming she had

WILD IDEAS Pam Owen

found her fawn, I slowly drove on.

White-tailed does give birth to fawns in April through June. Between rain deluges recently, deer seemed to be everywhere near where I live in Old Hollow. Driving the short distance between the last stretch of Old Hollow Road to Waterpenny Farm one day, I spotted two more moms with one fawn each, as well as solitary does and bucks, one dead on the side of the road.

This is also the time of year that people start reporting “abandoned” fawns, and sometimes these wellmeaning people can doom a fawn while attempting to help it. So what should you do if you see a fawn?

The title of an article (tinyurl.com/ wi-fawn) on the website of Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries (VDGIF) about says it all: “If You Find a Fawn, Leave it Alone.”

When a fawn is too young to flee with its mother from predators — such as dogs, coyotes or bears — the

Prepare for a CAREER in Barbering

mom usually leaves it in a spot where the fawn’s dappled coloring will help camouflage it while the doe goes off the eat. By separating from the fawn, she’s protecting it from predators who are drawn to her, often by her scent, which youngsters generally lack because of the careful grooming by their moms.

If undisturbed, the fawn usually lies still until its mom returns. Fawns may sometimes wander a bit from their hiding spot, but usually return to it soon. Maggie Rogers, at Central Coffee Roasters, spotted a fawn a few years ago that had been visiting the naturalized garden behind her shop.

When I stopped by for coffee, Maggie took me out to see the fawn, and I got a few shots with my phone from about 10 feet away while the fawn nosed around in the garden. Maggie and I were quiet and moved slowly, and the fawn seemed totally undisturbed by us. After I took a few shots, we slowly walked away.

Larry Sherertz, former Rappahannock County sheriff and avid wildlife photographer, has taken photos of fawns and points out that,

although they will generally lie still even when approached, fawns can panic if a perceived threat gets too close.

White-tailed moms typically have only one fawn but may have up to three in subsequent years. Last year, Larry scored a photo of triplets together not far from his home.

If a fawn is obviously injured and does need help, VDGIF advises contacting a local licensed wildlife rehabilitator. For a list of rehabilitators or more information, call the department’s wildlife conflict helpline at 1-855-571-9003, Monday through Friday, 8-4:30. Fawns that have been “rescued” when they shouldn’t have been can often be released at the same location because moms tend to remain in the area for at least a day looking for their missing young. But such situations cause stress to the parent and the fawn.

Keeping wildlife without a special permit is also illegal in Virginia. “Each animal’s nutritional, housing, and handling requirements ➤ See Fawn, Page 11

HISTORY Is nostalgia simply a fantasy?

ZANN’S PLACE

Nostalgia: “a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal associations.”

The feelings of nostalgia are often trivialized and discounted as missremembered times of the past. One may be caught in a state of euphoria brought on by memories of a better life, happier times, and less worrisome problems. Other folks will scoff at the idea and dismiss the pleasantries as a fantastical account of what never really was. I am not so sure.

There is no arguing with at least some of the facts.

Who would want to return to a time before penicillin, air travel (for that matter before all motorized travel), instant news, or modern medicine with its synthetic knees and hips? The progress of

Zann Nelson

modern science, previously unimaginable conveniences, health advancements and a myriad of inventions that improve our lives on a multitude of levels are remarkable. The question is begged: why would anyone gaze longingly at a time without these things? I have a theory.

That feeling of nostalgia is not so much about a time before all things modern.

Instead, I would suggest that it is a longing for the bond of community, the comfort of personal relationships, a sense of belonging and dare I say, Ann Lander’s standard of civility. Throw in the craving for a slower pace and you have all the ingredients of my recipe for nostalgia.

I am not naïve nor ignorant of the political and social ills that have permeated the history of the United States and as such, have no desire to reinstate them. Nonetheless, in meeting and getting to know many who have lived through times of oppression, violence, and poverty I have discovered the existence of a resilient faith coupled with a community of family and friends that served to sustain hope in

the most tragic of situations.

The abundance of support that was available within the family and surrounding community is what has leaked from the cracks in our progress. We have failed to bring along those vital social connections. We have lost the sense of social protocol, familial duty, responsibility to neighbors and a screaming awareness that there but for the Grace of Life, go I. Is it the dissipation of these intangible qualities that has created an existence with less meaningfulness? Are we missing a lack of purpose as we run helterskelter for shopping bargains and social engagements that have no more value than yet another run to the store for beer and chips?

Despite my theory, it is not a canvass of bleakness; all is not lost! Great possibility lies in recognizing nostalgia for what it is and in the promise of the current generation of twenty and thirty-year-olds.

Is it any wonder that our millennials are seeking something substantive, a cause, a serious change in how things get

done? Hooray for them! They cannot be feeling nostalgia for obvious reasons, yet I think if we put our minds to it, we will find a common bond.

Could they be thirsting for what we once knew and have allowed to slip away?

I thoroughly enjoy my run-flat tires, social media, and the Internet. At the same time, I am fully committed to a slower pace, respecting my fellow humans and earning a place that I can call home. If I can make a difference and, in the process, support the ambitions and prospects of future generations, then my feelings of nostalgia will have come full circle!

Until next week, be well.

Improving your social media success MARKETING MINUTE

I have a friend who has started a mushroom growing business and plans to eventually sell her products online.

For now, she aims to build her social media presence so she can become a go to source for all things shroomy. She called me for a little advice the other week as she was lost on how to start. She had created a Facebook page but no one, bar a few close friends had liked the page. This is a common assumption, that you can just create a business social media page and people will just “find” you.

So here is my advice on some very simple things you can do to get more social media Likes, Follows, interactions and so on.

Whichever platform you are using, make sure you are liking / following / commenting with other organizations and people as your business. Get in on the conversation, don’t just post content without responding to others posts.

If you do not have your own articles and photos, and even if you do, share content from others.

For my friend this could be articles and pictures about mushroom identification or even mushroom recipes. Experiment and see what is popular and gets you good interactions and feedback.

When using Facebook, as well as inviting your friends to like your page,

Fawns, for example, can get severe diarrhea from drinking cow’s milk.

“With even the best professional care possible, the survival rate of rehabilitated fawns and many other animals is very low,” the article points out. “More than 50 percent of fawns brought to rehabilitation facilities die before being released due to injuries they come in with and unavoidable physical stress during the rehabilitation process. Of those fawns that are released, a very small percentage survives the first year in the wild.”

Even when left alone, fawns face tough survival odds. According to an article on the Pennsylvania State University website (tinyurl.com/wi-

Get an Instagram account. Pictures sell, nobody reads anymore! Here are 5 things to do to kick start your Instagram account: • Follow like minded businesses (and hashtags) and see what is working for them.

• Using Hashtags is essential when you post. This is how people find you.

Get creative with them, and again, look what others in your industry are using.

• Post good quality photos with a few words about the photo, less is more.

• Use the tagging and location functions.

• Link your Twitter and Facebook accounts to your Instagram account.

Doing so allows you to post from the Instagram app directly to Facebook and Twitter, this is a real time saver.

It has become my favorite way to use social media.

Should you want to delve a little deeper, there are Apps like Preview which will help you schedule your Instagram posts as well as analyze your content for you. It will tell you when it is the best time for you to post content specifically to your audience.

fawn-mortality), research conducted in that state showed that only 57 percent of fawns born in forested areas of north central Pennsylvania and 72 percent of fawns born in agricultural areas in the central part of the state survived through the summer.

This means that between 28 and 43 percent of fawns do not survive the first six months of life. Most of this mortality occurs before fawns are 3 months old, from predators, starvation, failure to nurse, infections, parasites and other factors.

With all those dangers fawns have to navigate, when we find one, we can at least leave it alone. © 2018 Pam Owen Pam Owen is a writer, editor, photographer, and passionate nature conservationist living in Rappahannock County, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

VIEWS Finding clarity in muddy water THE MARSHALL PLAN Marshall Conner

My daughter’s little finger traces across a smartphone as she fills a blackand-white outline of the globe with color. She colors mostly in blue— filling in the sections of our planet covered

with water.

We are a short walk from the Atlantic Ocean.

Water is captivating and essential, but it can also be destructive.

Humans have always had a love for water—maybe because our bodies contain it. Maybe it’s because somewhere in a distant history we may have evolved and crawled from it.

This June we have experienced the dark side of water—flooding, loss of life, raging waterways packed with floating trees and debris. There are few feelings that rival the sadness and rage of a flooded home. Water unleashed can destroy years of hard work and damage priceless items.

The rivers once gently flowing and clear are turned into brown chaos hurdling everything in its expanding path downstream. It smashes it all into bridges and pushes mud over grassy banks.

Over my life I have experienced hurricanes, tornados and many floods.

As a teenager at Fishburne Military School I remember building sandbag walls to block encroaching water from the South River in Waynesboro.

I remember seeing the heartbreak of our retired commandant, a World War II veteran with the Scots Guards, as he placed water damaged books into a trash bag in his flooded house.

Nature has a way of pointing out that we are not as powerful as we think—that we are subject to the powers of the natural world despite our many advancements.

On a more selfish level recent flooding has robbed me of a month of fly-fishing on the Rappahannock River with my brother.

As a middle-aged guy who knows how many years I’ll be able to jump from rock to rock—I cherish my summer days.

We must also remember just how much water in its gentler form inspires us.

Surfers and fisherman have known this for years. They are drawn to water because it contains something their soul craves. Within water lies a form of joy that soothes, sparks and settles the mind.

Water is what we use to baptize—a path from death unto life reborn anew.

We drive for miles in horrible traffic just to sit on a beach and stare at waves.

A surfer once told me, “The ocean is the place we surf, and it is beautiful yet powerful. The place where we practice our sport is so captivating that people are happy just to watch it. You don’t find people just staring at tennis courts, fields or empty gyms. When I fall off a board and a wave rolls over me… it just feels good. Especially when you come

up for air and paddle towards the next wave.”

Fishermen more specifically, flyfishermen have a similar love for the environment where they practice their sport. The cast of fly line can momentarily erase stress, refocus thought and even help heal the scars of war—those soggy feet ground us in a world largely out of our control.

“I think I fish, in part, because it's an anti-social, bohemian business that, when gone about properly, puts you forever outside the mainstream culture without actually landing you in an institution,” wrote author John Gierach.

Let us hope that the we see more calm water in both our lives and in our waterways.

In another way all this destructive water is a metaphor for the state of our national psyche.

Just like local flood waters our civility and ability excel have become cluttered with debris.

Hate, jealousy, political infighting, racism, drugs, immersion in the electronic world, religious intolerance, war and greed are cluttering our flow.

We’ve made it through the storms in the past and we can do it once again. We can build it all again with “worn out tools” like Rudyard Kipling wrote. We can filter muddy water with civility, service, understanding, liberty and empathy.

If we see our daily lives as a microcosm—a tiny hopeful raindrop of clear water in a muddied river we can eventually regain the clarity and serenity of a scenic summer river.

Sarah, you can come to Culpeper for dinner PARDOE’S PERSPECTIVE

I'm embarrassed as a Virginian that a restaurant in my beloved state would refuse a public official like Sarah Huckabee Sanders and her family service and ask them to leave. We are a people that should be defined by our tolerance and hospitality, not by our bitterness over a lost election two years ago. I like to think that most

BLAINE PARDOE

people in my community are governed by compassion, openness, and a certain degree of southern charm.

Of course, this recent incident is just another salvo in the war against everything Trump being waged by the Democrats. It is amusing and sad that the party that claims to be inclusive and tolerant consistently demonstrates quite the opposite stances in public. Irony is not the prevue of the Democrats, but one must admit they bask in it. While they rail at a Colorado chef who is allowed by the Supreme Court to not bake for a gay wedding; they celebrate the owner

of the Red Hen in Lexington, VA for forcing Ms. Sanders and her family to leave. If the Republicans acted this way they would be labeled as "Nazi's" in the mainstream media, but for the Democrats it is all part of their sadly twisted "resist" movement. I strongly believe that nothing good comes from feasting on hate and bitterness.

It is tempting for me to take this column deep into this political abyss, but I will take the high road for a change. Instead, let me say this: "Sarah Huckabee Sanders, you and your family are welcome in Culpeper ➤ See Pardoe, Page 21

The year was 1776. The place, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was a hot, humid July day.

Delegates from the thirteen colonies were meeting to vote on Richard Henry Lee’s resolution for Independence.

As the voting began, two colonies did an unexpected political shuffle. The Pennsylvania delegation, in spite of popular opinion, voted “no.”

So did South Carolina.

The New York delegates abstained, saying they lacked specific instructions, while Delaware, with only two delegates present, was divided.

Caesar Rodney, the third Delaware delegate and one of the strongest supporters of independence, was missing. He had been called home to squelch a pro-British uprising. Exactly where he was and when he might return was unknown. A courier was sent to find him and tell him of the urgency of the situation.

There was yet another fact about Rodney worth noting. The forty-eight-year-old bachelor suffered intense pain from a skin cancer that had spread over half his face.

Physicians urged him to forget politics and go to London or Edinburgh for treatment. But Rodney refused to leave the colonies.

In Philadelphia, Edward Rutledge of Virginia stepped in to avert a crisis by moving the final vote on Lee’s resolution be postponed until the next day, July 2.

This would give the South Carolina delegates and the dissenting Pennsylvania delegates time to rethink their position – and Rodney time to arrive.

The following day was dramatic. In the words of noted historian David McCullough: “… it appears that just as the door to Congress was about to be closed at the usual hour of nine o’clock, Caesar Rodney, mud-spattered, ‘booted and spurred, made his dramatic entrance.

The tall, thin Rodney … had been made to appear stranger still, and more to be pitied, by a skin cancer on one side of his face that he kept hidden behind a scarf of green silk. … Almost

unimaginable, he had ridden eighty miles through the night, changing horses several times, to be there in time to cast his vote.”

The roll call vote began. Two Pennsylvanians who couldn’t bring themselves to vote “yes” had stayed away from the meeting, enabling their delegation to vote for Independence. New York declined to vote either way. South Carolina gave in for the sake of unanimity.

When Delaware was called, Caesar Rodney arose to say: “As I believe the voice of my constituents and of all sensible and honest men is in favor of Independence, and my judgment concurs, I vote for Independence!”

The issue was decided. Twelve colonies were in favor of nationhood; the colony the British counted on to vote against Independence, had remained silent. Now the debate began over the specific wording of the Declaration, and by the evening of July 4, the document met the approval of all.

There’s more to the story. When Rodney signed the Declaration, he officially put his life on the line as a traitor to the Crown, and forever denied himself access to the hope of medical help in the British Islands or Scotland. He never looked back.

He continued to serve Delaware on committees, councils, and legislative assemblies.

He was a Brigadier General and later a Major General in the Delaware militia. What he couldn’t do physically, he did financially – until his health forced him to step back.

He lived to see the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown in 1781 but missed the enactment of the Constitution, dying at the age of fifty-six at his home near Dover.

How did this frail and sickly man accomplish so much​​?

Those who knew him best believe it was his patience, his determination, and his willingness to do whatever was asked of him. This was a man who set his face to the task and never turned back – regardless of the cost. Are there more like him today?

Watersheds, healthy lawns & water quality Contributed report A watershed is the surrounding land area that drains into a lake, stream, or river.

It includes natural and artificial drainage systems, such as ditches and storm sewers. Even if your home is not next to a lake, stream, or river, you still live in a watershed. Every water body has a watershed that surrounds it. Each of us lives in a watershed and shares its water quality.

In a natural watershed, rain falls on the forest trees, grass/ shrubs or other vegetated areas.

These areas intercept the rain, slow it down and allow the soil time to soak up most of the rain that falls. In more developed residential watersheds, rain falls on mowed lawns and hard surfaces such as streets, driveways, and rooftops.

The rain water runs quickly over these mowed lawns and surfaces and is not soaked up. Even the lawns are not as effective as natural areas in intercepting and absorbing the rainfall.

This moving water is called storm water runoff. Stormwater runoff typically carries pollutants with it.

Nitrogen and phosphorus are often two of the most troublesome pollutants in storm water runoff.

To be frank, we have some of the finest restaurants in the state of Virginia. Our community has become a foodie haven for people all over the Piedmont. We have award winning chefs and a diverse cuisine. On top of that, we have a small town charm that makes spending the afternoon here relaxing for the soul. I am confident that our businesses would welcome your patronage.

I honestly cannot think of a bad meal I've ever had in Culpeper. The donut burger at Grill 309 is not food, but a work of dietary art.

The steak at Piedmont Steakhouse almost melts in your mouth. I live for Shawn's BBQ on those autumn nights when the sun hangs low over the mountains.

And don't even get me started about It's About Thyme and their infamous "Culpeper Crack," spread. Suffice it to say, it is aptly named - you will get addicted to it.

Culpeper is not just about the

These two nutrients are the primary ingredients of lawn fertilizer and can be the causes of water quality problems in our lakes and streams if too much fertilizer is applied or applied at a time when the lawn cannot handle it.

Excess fertilizer may even harm your lawn, make it more susceptible to diseases and other problems and may also pollute surface water runoff.

You can get a free soil test on your lawn soils by attending an informational meeting on July 30 at the VFW in Culpeper. Experts from Culpeper Soil & Water Conservation District and Virginia Cooperative Extension will be on hand. The Conservation District and Virginia Cooperative Extension will have your soil sample analyzed for you at Virginia Tech. You will learn how to take a soil sample and receive a free sampling kit.

This program is being offered free thanks to a grant from the Chesapeake Bay Restoration Fund to the Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District. The grants are made possible by the sales of the Chesapeake Bay License Plates.

To sign up for this program, contact Stephanie DeNicola at 540825-8591 or stephanied@culpeperswcd.org.

food, it is a culture in-and-of itself.

Culpeper is like stepping into a time machine. It is a slice of what America could and should be. It isn't perfect, but it IS genuine.

Our parades have a hint of Norman Rockwell about them. Our city streets are clean and safe. We are a diverse community that respects one another - for the most part. Our hometown values ring out loud, as do our church bells. Ms. Sanders, if you come here, you will be seduced by our charm and quiet quaintness.

And Sarah, if that isn't enough to bring you to Culpeper for dinner, my wife and I will gladly have you and your family over to our patio for a barbeque. We will pick up some locally grown foods at the farmer's market and wines from some of our many county wineries and show you how real Virginian's demonstrate hospitality. I’m not a great cook, but I married one, so you are pretty much guaranteed a good meal. Don't let Lexington deprive you of all we, as a people, have to offer.

Sarah - come to Culpeper.
