A Culpeper businessman completed a charity bicycle ride from Baltimore to Key West last month while simultaneously raising thousands of dollars to help fight cancer.

“It was the most grueling thing I’ve ever done,” Gary Walker said.

The Ulman Foundation Key to Keys will take place from April 23-30 where riders will bike from Baltimore to Key West, visiting cancer patients and facilities along the way.

Walker said he met some of the most amazing and inspiring people on his journey.

The group of about 20 riders raised about $163,000 for The Ulman Foundation.

Walker raised about $6,000.

While he doesn’t plan on riding next year, he hopes to hop back on his bike the following year.

Walker, 65, first found out about the ride in December 2019 while he sat with a friend scrolling through social media. It was postponed until 2022 due to COVID-19.

The Ulman Foundation creates a community of support for young adults, and their loved ones, who are impacted by cancer. According to the Foundation, Young adults (ages 15-39) face a variety of unique challenges with a cancer diagnosis including social isolation, fertility preservation, insurance concerns, delayed diagnosis and survivorship.

Ministry works to address human traff icking More services are becoming available to end the cycle of exploitation.

A ministry within a Culpeper church focuses on ending human trafficking locally via prevention education, awareness and outreach programming.

“We recognize the problem of human trafficking and the impact that it has on the Culpeper community,” said Forever Free Ministry Lead Stephanie Minter.

Based out of Mountain View Community Church on Rogers Road, Forever Free is focused on ending human trafficking in the community and region by working and reaching potential victims and survivors to end the cycle of exploitation.

According to the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, “human trafficking involves the use of force, fraud, or coercion to obtain some type of labor or commercial sex act.”

There were 10,583 human trafficking cases reported throughout the United State in 2020, according to data reported and catalogued by the National Human Trafficking Hotline. Of those, 119 were reported

has collaborated with both law enforcement and agencies such as Services To Abused Families, Inc. (SAFE) to aid in their mission.

“Through working with law enforcement we recognize that it likely already exists in the community so we are working to raise awareness for what that looks like as well as working to prevent it,” Minter said.

“We’re giving community members the information they need to recognize it when they see it but also to be able to prevent it from happening in the first place.”

Minter became aware of the worldwide issue over a decade ago after hearing her husband’s experiences working in the Red Light District in Southeast Asia. (“It was only recently) it started to click for me that it wasn’t an international problem,” she said. “It was something we were dealing with here in our home country.”

Local author finds healing in new book By day she makes coffee, but by night Tyler Renee takes to pen and paper.

When she was 15-years-old, Tyler Renee started writing her first novel to process her grandmother’s death.

“I needed to get out of my reality,” she remembered.

Nothing But Trouble is a story about a girl who gets in an accident in the exact location where her friend had died previously. When she regains consciousness, she is in a peculiar place with people she does not know. “(The novel has) secrets, adventure and a love story. It touches base on losing someone while grieving and healing,” Renee said.

Renee would come back to writing the book off and on for several years before a conversation with a co-worker sent her into a full on pursuit of completing it.

Last June, it was finally published.

When she was fifteen, Renee knew she’d be a writer. Now, she can see herself doing it as a living.

There were many different motivations for publishing a novel she had been writing since she was a teen, she explained.

“I wanted to show others it’s okay

BUS I N ESS & S E RV IC E D I R EC TO RY

After a few weeks, she started her second novel. Like her first novel, this one covers the topics of loss, healing

and letting go.

In Secrets Back Home, Aphrodite witnesses her brother’s death, leading her and her mom to leave town to get away. Aphrodite learns more details about her brother’s death when they return. During this time, she reconnects with an old friend and finds love again.

Renee said Secrets Back Home ends with a cliffhanger, but fans won’t have to wait long to find out what happens next. She has already begun the second book in the series. Novels are not the only thing Renee dabbles in though. She also writes short stories.

Writing has helped her process what was happening in her world.

“I had to write down my thoughts and feelings,” she said.

When Renee isn’t writing into the wee hours of the night, she is a barista. She grew up in the Piedmont area and now resides in Culpeper with her husband, grandfather and pet Yorkie.

Nothing But Trouble and Secrets Back Home can be found on Amazon or Barnes and Noble online.

Mural coming to downtown Culpeper BY

Maria Basileo

A local artist paints his way into Culpeper Renaissance, Inc.’s third installment of its Culpeper Downtown Walls Mural Program.

“Having grown up as an artist in Culpeper, it has been a dream of mine to create something for the town that helped shape me into the person I am today,” said artist Layton Scarbrough.

“When this opportunity popped up, I was so excited to dive headfirst into the research and development of a mural that would mean something more than just a few strokes of paint on a wall.”

CRI, Windmore Foundation for the Arts and Culpeper downtown property and business owner, Brian Lam, partnered for the mural installation entitled The Trailblazers in the 200 block of East Davis Street.

The mural features Culpeper’s first African American town councilman and owner and operator of Lightfoot’s Grocery Henry Lightfoot, Culpeper’s

ford Reaves, Jr. “Community, art and history are part of our Collage Spa brand values,” Lam said, who owns the spa. “We are so happy to collaborate with CRI and artist, Layton Scarbrough, on the mural project. The mural highlights and honors key African American Culpeper leaders. It makes their legacy visible and gives a sense of place for the present and future.”

Lam, in part, was able to play a role in the mural project after applying for and being awarded a $2,500 Culpeper Downtown Micro Marketing Leverage Grant, a partnered program through the Town of Culpeper Tourism and TIM HICKLING | CULPEPER TIMES Artist Layton Scarbrough works on the mural in the 200 Block of East Davis Economic Development, CRI and the Street.

National Memorial Day relay passes through Culpeper The relay raises awareness about the true meaning of the holiday.

BY

Maria Basileo

A non-profit working through its 10th Annual National Relay to raise awareness for the true meaning of Memorial Day crossed through Culpeper on May 9 and hosted a presentation at the Culpeper National Cemetery.

“It’s always an honor to see you folks and understand what you do, not only for veterans but for veterans’ families and the true meaning of Memorial Day,” said Culpeper National Cemetery Director Jason Hogan.

Carry The Load is a non-profit that provides active ways to connect Americans to the sacrifices of our nation’s military, veterans, first responders and their families. The 32-day, 20,000-mile relay includes five routes crossing 48 states and 100 rallies before culminating at the Dallas Memorial March on Memorial Day weekend.

Two lone walkers walked from Lowe’s on Montanus Drive to the cemetery to Gary’s Ace Hardware on Meadowbrook Drive before hopping back on their bus to travel to Charlottesville.

TIM HICKLING | CULPEPER TIMES

The 32-day, 20,000-mile relay called Carry The Load includes five routes crossing 48 states before culminating at the Dallas Memorial March on Memorial Day weekend. East Coast Relay Member Bryce Roland of Tifton, Georgia carried Corporal Karl Linn, who is buried in the Culpeper National Cemetery. land of Tifton, Georgia carried Corporal Karl Linn, who was a marine who died in the line of duty, as he walked the approximately five miles through Culpeper.

“There are two deaths,” he said.

“You have the physical one when the body dies and the second death when it's the last time someone ever says their name.”

“This allows this person to live one more day.”

According to Hogan, Linn, who is buried in section K21B in the cemetery, was born in June 1984 in Virginia. The Sept. 11 terrorist attack inspired Linn to join the Marine Corps in June 2002.

He was deployed to Iraq as a part of Operation Iraqi Freedom. On January 6, 2005, Linn took part in a mission involving enemy insurgents near a mosque. After leaving the mission with no discoveries, the unit was ambushed, injuring Linn and causing him

to succumb to his injuries.

The nonprofit was founded by U.S. Navy SEALs Clint Bruce and Stephen Holley as a way to restore Memorial Day beyond car and mattress sales and barbecues. maria@culpepertimes.com

house over 270 age-restricted homes in the Stevensburg District.

Prior to the vote, Chairman Gary Deal explained he is a proponent of development in the Route 29 corridor.

“This is a very good project,” he said. “I’m supportive of it (project).”

Supervisor David Durr said he believed there to be a need for housing in the county for older people.

“I think this fits the bill.”

The request passed with a 5-1 vote, with Supervisor Paul Bates voting no and Supervisor Brad Rosenberger being absent.

The property, to be called Williams Mill Village, is located along Route 667 (Nalles Mill Road). It will be limited to 274 units of detached single family housing each designed with aging residents in mind with ground level bedrooms and bathrooms.

All units will be restricted to housing for older persons as defined by the Virginia Fair Housing Law.

Nonprofit: Brandy Station Battlefield endangered by data center The upcoming data center is proposed to have negative effects.

A Virginia nonprofit classified a Culpeper battlefield as threatened or endangered by recent developments in allowing a rezoning request for a data center to move forward.

In an announcement May 10, Preservation Virginia, a private, nonprofit organization seeking to engage the

CulpeperFest returns on June 10 CulpeperFest returns to Eastern View High School’s Cyclone stadium for its 42nd year.

CulpeperFest will be held from 4 to 8 p.m. on June 10.

“We’ve heard how much businesses, nonprofits, and the commu-

public and sustaining Virginia’s historic places, listed Virginia’s Most Endangered Historic Places for 2022, which included Brandy Station Battlefield.

"Local county governments passed separate rezoning actions to allow for construction of mega data center complexes, which would irreparably alter the adjacent historic landscapes associated with these battlefields, local farmland, and the areas’ rural character," the announcement read. "Locating data centers within technology corridors and away from culturally sensitive areas would convey how local governments value and support the preservation of their irreplaceable his-

toric resources."

Despite efforts from community members, historical and environmental groups to deter them, the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors voted on April 5 to pave the way for Amazon to construct a data center on Route 3 in Stevensburg.

Woodbridge-based development firm Marvell Developments LLC, a subsidiary of Amazon Data Services, submitted a rezoning request for 20420 Germanna Highway - currently the location of Magnolia Equestrian Center LLC - from an A-1 (Agricultural) to LI (Light Industrial) in order to construct two data center buildings,

totaling over 400,000-square-feet on approximately 230 acres.

On March 28, representatives from The Germanna Foundation, American Battlefield Trust, Piedmont Environmental Council and Journey Through Hallowed Ground took members of the public as well as some supervisors on an over two hour tour of Salubria and Hansbrough Ridge, which lie in close proximity to the site, in order to outline the potential negative impacts.

Other endangered sites includeWilliam Fox Elementary School in Richmond and Preston-Crockett House in Smyth County. maria@culpepertimes.com

Following introductions, students asked questions ranging from how to get out of a traffic ticket to how the attorneys keep their personal opinions out of doing their job.

Durrer advised students he wouldn’t tell them how to “get out of” a ticket but rather to follow traffic laws to begin with in order to avoid being ticketed.

Davies previously worked as a defense attorney, but after discovering his passion to run for public office, decided to shy away from defending those charged with violent crimes.

He served for eight years in the state legislature.

Durrer explained from his perspective, he is charged with applying laws passed by the legislature to cases whether they coincide with his personal beliefs or not. maria@culpepertimes.com

began to do her own research and advocacy in the human trafficking prevention and awareness space.

“Stephanie has done a really good job of pulling people like our agency in, pulling law enforcement in (to) really have conversations that (comes) full circle,” said Executive Director of SAFE Cindy Hedges. “She’s not just trying to be one combating it on her own because it does take a village.”

While trying to speak generally about the issue as to not better inform abusers how to continue their exploits, Hedges said it is difficult to recognize human trafficking because it regularly is intertwined with other forms of abuse.

As Hedges explained, while victims typically hail from vulnerable populations such as children in foster care, the homeless population or those with disabilities, anyone can be coerced into trafficking.

While detailing telltale signs may be difficult, Hedges gave examples such as children having a new phone parents are not paying for or having unexplained cash reserves.

Both technology and money are used to manipulate victims into and continuing in the trafficking scheme.

Exploiters, she continued, are typically known to the victim, be they family members or otherwise.

In some instances, exploiters meet victims online in other countries and bring them to their location under false pretenses.

Minter said the ministry is working on implementing technology that would scan the internet for posting offering sexual exploits with local phone numbers listed as a contact.

The technology would rip the phone number, handing it over to the ministry to reach out with resources to a potential victim on the other end of the phone.

Minter concluded with the help of law enforcement the puzzle pieces that make an environment an ideal circumstances for trafficking are present in Culpeper thus the chances of it occurring currently is likely.

“We as a community can work together in order to prevent it from becoming a major issue for our community,” Minter said. maria@culpepertimes.com

Fostering serves greater purpose BY

Love animals and want to make a difference? Fostering is a crucial component of a home-foster-based rescue organization. They serve as halfway houses between the Shelter and their furever home. When you foster you: • Save lives, protecting pets from diseases and stress • Conserve space and resources at the Shelter • Provide a healthier and happier environment, with more love, care and support • Prepare them for homelife through socialization and development • Present new and bigger pools of adopters; fosters can give a trusted assessment of the personality and needs of the individual pet Fostering helps pets but also offers you a wealth of rewards. Fostering is:

Published every other Thursday by Rappahannock Media LLC.

• Emotionally rewarding • Financially Friendly; rescues provide pet food, medical care, and other amenities • A learning opportunity; learn from experienced volunteers, teach your kids empathy and responsibility • Rewarding; It’s a great feeling to know you’ve helped develop a shy dog into a secure one, a sick kitten into a healthy rascal.

Yes, with the joys come sadness when they leave you for a new life.

You’ll probably ugly cry, but we tell ourselves, it’s not about us. Your role as a Foster is to offer temporary refuge, acting as a launchpad to their furever home. Your goal is to say good-bye, knowing that you have succeeded, proud of your accomplishment, ready to save more.

There is an urgent need, today, for kitten fosters. They are the most vulnerable group at the shelter, especially the pee wee kittens (4-8 weeks old), and this is Kitten Season, the most critical time of year.

Check out your local rescues. All are looking for kitten/cat fosters at this time of year. Find one that is a good match for you. Culpeper Humane Society has a great foster program, providing resources, training, and support. Submit a foster application at www.culpeperhumane.org.

The Class of 2022 has been on a journey that no one could have possibly predicted. They have navigated high school through a worldwide pandemic and overcome a public health crisis like none of us have seen in our lifetime. Simply put, they have learned lessons that cannot be measured by an end of the year exam and they were not simple lessons to learn.

Some students began working during the pandemic to help their families, while others lost loved ones or dealt with being sick themselves.

These were the hardest lessons learned while trying to balance a new normal as time marched on. Our students certainly did not envision this when they entered high school.

Other lessons learned and

have reading this because it feels good to hear the excitement and see the determination in that horse and jockey.

I have never compared high school to a horse race before, but I see the similarities now. Class of 2022- you are officially in the home stretch about to cross the finish line into your future.

You have earned your diploma like no other. Hold your head high and know that we celebrate you. The future is yours! Go blaze a new trail knowing that Culpeper is proud of you.

While the pandemic may have slowed things down, it did not stop these seniors from working, taking care of family members, completing school work, playing sports, and balancing everything thrown their way by the world. Schedules were constantly changing from not being in school, to being online, to being back in school or choosing to homeschool.

When a student became discouraged, others rallied around them with support and care. They persevered.

Every May, the Administration for Community Living (ACL) leads the nation’s observance of Older Americans Month (OAM). In 2022, ACL will be focusing on aging in place – how older adults can plan to stay in their homes and live independently in their communities for as long as possible. The 2022 theme is Age My Way, an opportunity for all of us to explore the many ways older adults can remain in and be involved with their communities.

This year Aging Together is excited to highlight the importance of OAM with our region’s own communities.

The Counties of Culpeper, Madison and Orange each have responded with proclamations declaring May as Older Americans Month, drawing attention to their commitment to the wellbeing and value of older adults.

With the support of our local governments, we go a long way toward eliminating ageism and the stereotypes that negatively impact older adults. And we think together about how we are doing to increase the possibilities for everyone to age in place and remain active. We are thankful for their response.

One way that Aging Together keeps the celebration of older adults alive in May is with their signature annual event, “5 Over 50”. This event, aligned purposely with Older Americans Month, honors one person from each of the region’s five counties who makes a positive impact.

This year’s 5 Over 50 event honors Charles Jameson in Culpeper, Renee Younes in Fauquier, Kevin McGhee in Madison, Bill Hager in Orange and Joyce and Mike Wenger in Rappahannock.

Diverse communities are strong communities. Ensuring that older adults remain involved and included in our communities for as long as possible benefits everyone.

For more information, contact Ellen Phipps, or view www. agingtogether.org.

The Meek Shall Inherit is a timely, chilling and compelling novel about K-Pox, a deadly pandemic that sends the world into utter collapse. In the face of starvation and chaos, a few survivors learn to trust each other and survive. Their struggle is also a head game that challenges their belief in a God who allows such misery, writes authors Cindy Siira and Julia White.

The book is written in a letter writing format from the points of view of two teenage girls, Meg and Ashleigh.

If you think the story line is too close to COVID to be enjoyed, you might be surprised to read the reviews. One Amazon reader calls The Meek “brilliantly immersive and captivating!! Crazy similarities and mirroring to current events – even though it was written well before.

Truly an amazing piece of work.”

Another says: “The concept is great, the storytelling superb, and the ending -- WOW! I can’t wait for the next one.”

You can borrow a copy of The Meek Shall Inherit from the Culpeper Library in the Local Authors section.

In the process, you might bump into the author, Cynthia Siira.

Cindy is a woman of many talents.

She loves quilting and textile painting, as well as writing. She is also the coleader of the Windmore Publishing Discussion Group.

A professional educator in earlier years, she met her co-author Julia White when both worked in northern Virginia helping students with disabilities prepare for life after high school.

Both women were writers and their unique experiences led them to choose the letter-writing format which is unique to The Meek Shall Inherit.

They are working on a sequel, even though Julia now lives in Illinois.

Miles are no deterrent in the age of technology, but Cindy is Culpeper’s own literary star. We plan to keep you informed about their next book.

The Marshall Plan | Never Trash a Treasured Fish BY

Nearly every year since the 1990s I have written at least a column on the springtime spawning run of the Hickory and American Shad. The first shad of spring always brings joy to the heart before finding its way into my landing net.

I haven’t kept a shad in years, I just take a few selfies with them and release them to complete their journey. Along the shore of the Rappahannock River people and wildlife converge after a winter that is still trying to hang around.

Ospreys circle overhead and dive with precision to snatch fish. Bald Eagles try to muscle them off their catch.

This is the annual spawning run for the anadromous shad—a notable Virginian that deserves respect.

This brings me to the angry, sad point of my column. On a recent fly-fishing trip to the Falmouth Flats just across from downtown Fredericksburg my brother walked upon a scene that clearly illustrated the darkness of the human mind. On the sandy island between Falmouth Beach and the Old Mill Park someone had built a fire and impaled three or four shad on sharpened sticks. The fish were burnt and left like some sick memorial to cruelty inflicted on the natural world. My brother posted photos and questioned why something like this could occur.

The fish were not eaten. Were the fish tortured? Where were wildlife conservation officers?

Hundreds of people were within sight, sound, and smell of this scene, yet it still occurred.

The disrespect for our natural resources symbolized by this grisly scene really angered me. I wonder if the people who did this realize what a shad must endure to get to its annual spawning run.

The shad, both the Hickory and American varieties are historic, beloved, and even political. The poor man’s tarpon as it has been called, is usually the first fish to knock the dust off your fishing reel in the spring. On a fly-rod it fights admirably. A shad has a tenacity that most freshwater fish lack. One can instantly tell that a shad has endured the harsh realities of the sea.

A shad returning to the river was born there a couple years ago.

It returns to the ocean in maturity and returns to its birth river repeating the cycle of life. The shad’s journey coincides nicely with the first outbreaks of spring fever. The annual shad run in Fredericksburg has consistently inspired workdodging and school-skipping for hundreds of years. These fish must dodge all the ocean’s predators, nets, river predators, aerial attacks from raptors, stabbings from Great Blue

Culpeper Times • May 12-25, 2022

The disrespect for our natural resources symbolized by this grisly scene really angered me. I wonder if the people who did this realize what a shad must endure to get to its annual spawning run.

Herons, spin fishermen jigging darts, poacher’s cast nets, pollution, and habitat destruction just to procreate.

The shad tortured by this subset of humanity should know that these fish were within the last few miles of a lifelong journey—so close to completion. People who toss trash, kill for fun and poach do not possess empathy or perspective for nature.

One of the many benefits of being a fly-fisherman is the skill of observation, the Buddhists refer to it as mindfulness. Simply put it is the ability to observe what is literally underfoot, in sight or within reach. It is an acquired skill. It is a discipline that sees the natural world as an integral part of a larger experience, not just as a background for your fish selfie.

“If you’re interested in catching hickory shad, they arrive when the shadbush and the dogwood bloom.

If anglers had the time to spend in the wild all day and study this stuff,

they wouldn’t need fly-fishing books or newspaper columns, because everything in nature reveals itself.

That is my job: to take the time to see nature revealed and pass along what I learned to people who could not be there,” wrote fly fishing legend Bernard “Lefty” Kreh, in his autobiography.

The Rappahannock River flows 187 miles total from Chester Gap to the Chesapeake Bay. The river and its tributaries flow through 18 jurisdictions in its journey to saltwater. Miles of the river flow through Culpeper County. It is part of a forever cycle, moving rock and land. Our lifetimes are a simple flick of the match in geologic time, yet our moments on a river still add us to its story.

If we respect our waters and natural resources, we are rewarded with generations of experiences.

Historic accounts state that troops

on both sides in the Civil War took pause from blowing each other’s heads off to catch a few shad. The shad run was powerful enough to pause warfare.

The late Gene Mueller, a local outdoor columnist described the shad run well in 2009.

“Fishermen stand near a couple of sandy islands, sloshing about and firing their small lures into the river, fully aware that the law of averages was on their side. Sooner or later one of the shiny-scaled fighters had to be swimming past them on its way to suitable spawning pools and along the way look at a shad dart.

Shad are very democratic that way. If something irritates or interests them, they often instinctively take a swipe at it,” he wrote.

Nature always keeps its promises.

Humanity must overcome the small percent of idiots in our midst.

WHITNEY LYNNE MEREWETHER Whitney Lynne Merewether, 54, of Lewisburg, WV died Monday, April 25, 2022 in Morgantown, WV surrounded by her loving family and a few very close friends.

She was born January 8, 1968 in Providence, RI, a daughter of Patrick Merewether, Sr. and his wife Margaret Steinbock of Culpupper, VA, and Carol Merewether of Warrenton, VA. In addition to her parents, Whitney is survived by her brother Patrick Merewether, Jr. (partner Lynn Shaner) of Charleston SC; her sister Courtney Mills (husband Rodney) of Culpeper VA; nephews and nieces Joshua Merewether, Ryan Merewether, Hannah Merewether, and Briana Shaner; stepsisters and stepbrother Colin Smith (spouse Alison Smith), Rebecca Rex (spouse Tammy Rex), Jennifer Metz (spouse Timothy Metz); many cousins and friends; and her beloved cats Rumpleteazer (Rummy) and Kali.

Whitney graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Psychology from the University of Virginia in 1990. Whitney had 20 years of service at the West Virginia School of Osteopathic Medicine in Lewisburg, WV as the Administrative Assistant in the Registrar's Office.

Whitney will be remembered for knowing how to bring people together. She gave the best hugs and had a contagious smile. She was full of life, loved to laugh and had a quick, witty sense of humor. She loved nature - hiking, waterfalls, flora and fauna, and the great gingko tree in Lewisburg.

"Every blade in the field, every leaf in the forest, lays down its life in its season as beautifully as it was taken up." - Henry David Thoreau A gathering of family and friends to honor Whitney's life and legacy will be held at the Mountain Run Winery in Culpepper, VA on Sunday, May 22, 2022 from 11:00 AM - 2:00 PM In lieu of flowers, kindly make a donation to the Cancer Research Institute - https:// www.cancerresearch.org/en-us/join-thecause/donate.

Smith Funeral & Cremation Care of Morgantown, WV provided care and guidance to the family, and condolences may be offered at www.smithfcc.com.

Despite the rainy and cold weather, locals still turned out for the opening day of the Culpeper Farmers Market presented by Culpeper Renaissance, Inc. on May 7 in the Culpeper Baptist Church parking lot.

Vendors had everything from flowers to strawberries to tomatoes for purchase while others offered baked goods and beer. The Farmers Market will be open from 7:30-noon every Saturday until October.
