Town moving forward with pool

Culpeper Town Council voted 9-1 on Aug. 9 to move forward in a tentative agreement to supply $5 million towards the design and construction of a community pool within the Culpeper Sports Complex. Prior to voting, however, Vice Mayor Bill Yowell expressed concern about whether the town should be responsible for paying 50% of the operating cost since only about 30% of the county’s residents reside within town.Councilwoman Meaghan Taylor agreed.

• Up to 50% of the design cost shall be reimbursed to the county by the town as long as the County enter into a design contract to design the pool by July 31, 2023.

• Up to 50% of the construction cost shall be reimbursed to the county by the town as long as the County enter into a construction contract to construct the pool by July 31, 2024.

During a Town Council meeting on Aug. 9, Town Manager Chris Hively showed potential layout designs of the pool and adjoining amentaites.

Members also recommended that the Town Council approve the Pool Operations Agreement with a slight change from the drafted agreement. The members recommended that Council approve the agreement with the modiﬁcation to require the removal of the town to pay 50% of operations and maintenance costs and in turn requiring the county to pay 100% of the operations and maintenance costs.

In an Aug. 23 Public Safety, Public Works, Planning and Community Development Committee meeting, the members recommended that the Town Council approve the Pool Contribution Agreement. Proposed criteria in the recommended Pool Contribution Agreement include:

• If the county completes construction of the pool and receives a certiﬁcate of occupancy by July 31, 2026, the town shall reimburse the county for remaining design and construction costs.

PD: Stolen property monetary sum surpasses $1.5 million

BY Maria BasileoTotals for quarter two alone supersede $750,000. implementation is high upfront costs for both buses and the infrastructure needed for charging. Diesel buses also cost about $125,000 while electric buses cost about $375,000. “They cost about 60% less to operate,” Farmer continued. In March, over $1.5 million in federal funding was awarded to school districts across Virginia in order to replace old, diesel buses with clean vehicles. As a part of the endowment, Culpeper County Public Schools received $80,000 for four buses as part of the Diesel Emission Reduction Act (DERA) School Bus Rebates. The funds will go towards the replacement of old diesel school buses with new electric, propane, compressed natural gas, diesel or gasoline buses that will reduce harmful emissions in the environment.“Fromstart to finish, every element of these buses is American made,” Spanberger said. “What does that mean? Those are jobs…that are really, really “Certainlyvaluable.”when we’re looking at global competition, when we are looking at bringing a lot of industries home from countries where we have exported not only industries but a lot of jobs, I think that should be a point of pride for Followinganybody.”hervisit to Culpeper, she visited Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania to continue hearing about how the infrastructure bill affected Virginia’s 7th District. maria@culpepertimes.com factors are at play in another record breaking quarter for the Culpeper Town Police Department’s estimated monetary value of stolen property figures. According to police department reports submitted to Culpeper Town Council, this year’s second quarter - from April through June - sum for estimated monetary value of stolen property totals $758,105.42, pushing this year’s total to over $1.59 million. According to Town Police, there are a few factors contributing to the increase. The first, they said, is a small number of extremely high value embezzlement and fraud cases. Those handful of cases are six figure values.

In the first quarter of this year, two high-dollar embezzlement cases initiated the highest estimated monetary value of stolen property figures in the town in recent years. The embezzlement investigations involve two different local businesses, of which Town Police did not identify. The cases are not related, but one business had $600,000 stolen and the other had around $110,000 stolen. Each was stolen by their respective employees.Thesecond contributing factor, police said, is that they’re seeing an increase in what is being stolen from everyday citizens. Previous larcenies, frauds and embezzlements used to be predominantly in the misdemeanor range, which come in under $1,000, but now the department has seen a growing number of felony cases. Third, more victims are coming forward to report these crimes than in years past. And lastly, due to their growing success in shoplifting investigations, businesses have increased their reporting of larcenies.

Proposed criteria in the Pool Operations Agreement include:

• The County would be the fiscal agent and be responsible for furnishing, purchasing, personnel, payroll, insurance and legal counsel.

Projected operating costs per year total $150,000, split between the two agencies.Expenditures related to the pool are contingent on the town and county successfully executing the two agreements.Bothagreements will need to be voted on at a later date on whether they will be accepted or not.

• The pool shall be managed and operated by the county by creating a Public Pool Advisory Board (“Advisory Board’) to provide advice and recommendations with regard to the management and operation.

➤ Spanberger, from Page 5 Multiple

According to police department reports, this year’s first quarterfrom January through March - sum for estimated monetary value of stolen property totals $839,240.10, superseding total year estimations of stolen property for 2019 ($439,008.80), 2020 ($296,224.36) and 2021 ($380,522.63). In the first quarter of 2021, police estimated $81,493.65 as the value of stolen property. In 2020, they reported $55,566.29 and in 2019, they reported $165,004. So far this year, an estimated $9,938.10 of property has been recovered.Despite the dramatic uptick in monetary value, the frequency of stealing-related crime has remained relatively the same. In the first quarter of 2022, three burglaries, 55 larcenies and three motor vehicle thefts were reported. In the first quarter of 2021, one burglary, 88 larcenies and zero motor vehicle thefts were reported. In the first quarter of 2020, one burglary, 74 larcenies and two motor vehicle thefts were reported. In the first quarter of 2019, one burglary, 53 larcenies and four motor vehicle thefts were reported. maria@culpepertimes.com

• There shall be a Public Pool Director (“Director”) hired or assigned by the county, who shall be responsible for the overall management of the pool.

Both the town and county have explored options to construct a community pool for “probably decades,” Town Manager Chris Hively said.Previous efforts have failed most often due to a lack of available funding. In 2021 and 2022, both governments received significant monies from the Federal American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA), creating a pathway to directly or indirectly make funding available for construction. maria@culpepertimes.com ➤ Pool, from Page 3

Councilmen Travis Brown pushed back against the objection by arguing the minute difference in funds may put the whole project on hold. “I’ve waited my whole life for a pool in this town or county. It’s been promised since I was in kindergarten,” Brown said. “If we're going to argue about $20,000 or $30,000 per year and that’s what's going to hold this up moving forward, I think that we're getting our feet stuck in the mud and it's never going to happen.”

Most cases of monkeypox associ ated with this outbreak have been identified in men who have sex with men, yet anyone can get monkey pox if they have close contact with someone infected with the virus. In the current outbreak, hospital ization and death from monkeypox are rare, but symptoms can still be painful and interfere with daily ac tivities. Symptoms can last for be tween two and four weeks. Monkeypox usually starts with symptoms like the flu, with fever, low energy, swollen lymph nodes, and general body aches. Within one to three days, the person can devel op a rash or sores. The sores will go through several stages, including scabbing, before healing. They can look like pimples or blisters and may be painful and itchy. Monkeypox can spread from the time symptoms start until all sores have healed and a fresh layer of skin has formed. This can take several weeks.Monkeypox spreads primarily through direct contact with infec tious sores, scabs, or body fluids, including during sex, as well as ac tivities like kissing, hugging, mas saging and cuddling.

A few seconds after the video begins, the helicopter can be seen jolting backwards, seemingly becoming tangled in the power line.

BY Ray FinefrockEastern View won the Cannonball Cup by 41-14. He wears the number five on his football jersey and by the game was over on Aug. 26, Eastern View High School junior quarterback D’Myo Hunter had the same number of touchdowns.Hunter,a former defensive back, brought the heat in his first game as quarterback for the Cyclones, passing for four touchdowns and running for another. He directed the offense like an experienced signal caller in leading the Cyclones to a Cannonball Cup vic tory over visiting crosstown-rival Cul peper County High School, 41-14.

“Friday, it was just a different ball, but he’s been in pressure situations and handled them admirably. He has good field vision. He sees what’s going on and decides quickly to distribute the ball to one of our playmakers or to keep it himself.”

The Cyclones had little trouble against a young and inexperienced Blue Devil defensive line in the first half.

Cyclones prevail over Blue Devils in football opener

Coach Brian Lowery, who is in his second year at the helm of the Cy clones, was not surprised at Hunt er’s poised performance. “He’s got a chance to be special,” Lowery said. “He was a guard for (Eastern View) last year on the basketball team that went deep in the playoffs and he’s used to having a ball in his hands.”

Culpeper Times • September 1-14, 202212 SPORTS SPORTS

EVHS took a 20-0 lead into the locker room at halftime and then a 16-yard pass from Hunter to Xavier Carr made it 27-0 with just over seven minutes left in the third quarter. Then Culpeper got busy on offense.

Junior quarterback Bennett Suther land connected with A.J. Marshall for a 34-yard TD with 4:52 left in the third quarter and on a 91-yard pass play to Marshall with 11:47 left in the game to cut the deficit to 27-14.

However, a running TD by Hunt er and a 41-yard pass to Tre Brock brought about the final score. “I made some adjustments at half time,” said CCHS 4th-year coach James Ford. “They had good pressure on Sutherland all night, sacking him sev en times, three in a row at one point. It’s hard to make plays when you can’t get set. We let things get away from us (in) the first half. The second half we just went out and played football and Bennett did a better job of getting the ball out of his hands quicker.”

“I like the fight our guys showed,” he said. “They didn’t give up, didn’t look at the scoreboard, they just played hard when their number was called.”Lowery said his team needed to work on better communication in the defensive secondary, ball security and doing what they are coached to do up front.He singled out senior defensive lineman Joshua Perez, sophomore de fensive end/lineman Datrez Gahagan and junior wide receiver/linebacker Landon Taylor as doing well on game night.“Overall, I’m pleased with how the kids responded to adversity,” Lowery said. “They’re buying into our mes sage.”EVHS travels to Liberty of Bealeton on Sept. 2 and CCHS will be at Orange County High School.

Culpeper Times • September 1-14, 2022 13SPORTS

Lowery said Culpeper’s second half efforts impressed him. “We got humbled (in) the second half,” he said. “It was a punch in the mouth when they scored those two long touchdowns and we needed that. Culpeper could have quit when they were down 27-0, but it’s a testament to their coaches and players that they didn’t.”Ford said he was proud of the way his team responded to adversity.

But it wasn’t all Hunter. The Cy clones had little trouble against a young and inexperienced Blue Devil defensive line in the first half. Most of the damage was done by sophomore wide receiver Brett Clatterbaugh, who caught two of Hunter’s touchdown passes – the first less than three min utes into the game – and ran for a third“Clatterbaughscore. is one of the best players I have ever personally been around,” Lowery said. “He had a good night on offense Friday, but it’s de fense, not offense, that is really his calling.”“He’s a linebacker for us and al ready has nine colleges interested in him when he graduates.”

From his new headquarters aboard a British frigate, he o ered freedom to any of Virginia’s 80,000 enslaved African-Americans who would fi ght with him. Less than 1,000 took the o er. Dunmore picked 300 to form his “Ethiopian Regiment” and headed south to Norfolk, the largest shipyard in America. He hoped to make Norfolk the base of operations for the British navy, which would close Chesapeake Bay to the knownothing rebels and end their talk of independence.CulpeperMinute Men also headed south, gathering recruits as they went. They ultimately joined other Virginia militia and built a fortifi cation at Great Bridge, a choke point in the Elizabeth River. Dunmore defended his position from a nearby stockade. Lieutenant Colonel Edward Stevens was in charge of a battalion of Culpeper rifl emen who picked o the Redcoats like they were squirrels or possums. Dunmore fi nally had to admit defeat, counting 100 dead and wounded. Only one American was injured.Dunmore’s defeat and fi nal retreat to England meant Virginia was free of an organized British presence for the next fi ve years. This gave Washington the freedom to move men and supplies north and south without interruption. Many historians call the Battle of Great Bridge one of the turning points of the American Revolution. Lieutenant Colonel Stevens, and the Culpeper Minute Men were an important part of that victory. Read more of the story in Courageous Men and Women of the American Revolution, available in the Culpeper County Library.

A Fresh Perspective on Our Nation Marshall Conner Marshall Conner is a contributing columnist. Marshall Conner Sally Humphries is a local writer and contributor. Sally Humphries

The Virginia House of Burgesses created Culpeper County in 1749, taking it from Orange County. That same year a young but very capable George Washington surveyed the new county and laid out a courthouse complex—that is the jail, stocks, gallows, courthouse and adjacent buildings. From these humble beginnings, Culpeper gradually increased in size and importance. The French and Indian War taught the locals some hard facts about the British military and the Stamp Act of 1765 impressed them with English haughtiness. Resentment festered and then mushroomed. By the time of Patrick Henry’s famous “Give me liberty, or give me death” speech in 1775, Virginia had been divided into sixteen districts. Each district was told to form a military unit or militia for self-defense. Some of the militia became known as Minutemen, or men so well trained they could be called into action at a minute’s notice.

Early Culpeper and the Minutemen BY Sally Humphries

In Culpeper, a militia of one hundred men formed and adopted as their banner the image of a coiled rattlesnake above the popular slogan “Don’t Tread on Me.” On one side of the snake was the word “Liberty,” and the other side were the words “Or Death.” At the top of the banner were the words, “The Culpeper Minutemen.” A British newspaper explained the symbolism. The rattlesnake was found only in America, never struck without warning, had no eyelids so never slept, and never abandoned a ﬁ ght it started. Lord Dunmore, the British governor of Virginia, was destined to meet the Culpeper Minute Men up close and personal.Dunmore had seized Williamsburg’s stockpile of gunpowder in April 1775, thinking to end all talk of independence. He only succeeded in incensing the townspeople. Dunmore then ﬂ ed the Governor’s mansion, dissolved the Virginia legislature and declared martial law.

The Marshall Plan |

A few of Dave’s most humorous insights included, “food is expensive here, random characters will buy you a pint of beer and tell you their stories, Americans have a hard time speaking English, beer is expensive, the 4th of July is a great holiday” and apparently, we don’t walk enough.Allpolitical sides provided their cases—Dave took it all in and still liked everyone. He saw our crazy sides, funny names, roadside dining, fist bumping, and insane tra c jams—and he still liked us. One of my favorite memories was a visit to the British Cemetery in Ocracoke Island—a cemetery with ties to my family’s history. My grandfather earned the Order of the British Empire in World War II, he was a Naval intelligence o cer. He helped establish a small graveyard to bury British casualties from the HMS Bedfordshire. Under a Royal Navy flag is the final resting place of Royal Navy sailors. Standing there with our friend was a powerful reminder of our nation’s shared sacrifice. On the day before Dave’s plane departed for England, we shared a great cookout, told epic stories, sang songs, and reflected on the good times we shared. His positive experiences here made me realize we have so many blessings as a country. I was proud of America. Where else could you combine history, natural wonders, a spaceship in Frisco, NC, minor league baseball and South of the Border? Flipper’s Arcade in Grandy, NC? Pirates? Smallmouth bass? Cheers brother!

Our national psyche has taken a dive in recent years, polls are consistently showing that most of us believe that our country is heading in the wrong direction. The once historically optimistic, everyday American appears to have a dark cloud floating over our daily lives.Inflation, political polarization, cultural rot, badly finished wars, crime, random violence, the ongoing impact of a pandemic we cannot seem to kick, national debt, threats from China, distrust in government and even more sad, each other. As Shakespeare wrote in Sonnet 29, “Yet in these thoughts myself almost despising” rings true. Just watch a 24-hour cycle of news if you are feeling overly happy or optimistic. Sometimes it takes an Englishman to make us appreciate our own country. A few days prior to the 4th of July, a great family friend, “our brother from across the ocean” as we like to label him, arrived in the United States for a well-earned, meticulously planned 7-week retirement vacation from his home in England.Ourfriend Dave Brown is a newly retired harbor master from Plymouth, a veteran of the Royal Navy and a fellow Nottingham Forest supporter. We met Mr. Brown several years back when DC United hosted Nottingham for a summer friendly. He enjoyed a couple trips to the United States and my brother enjoyed a vacation hosted by Dave in England. We were instant friends.Onthis trip, Dave was serious about really seeing the east coast and spending time with us all. He wanted to see local baseball games, road trip to DC, Alexandria (Walking Dead fan), Fredericksburg, Wilmington NC, Outer Banks, Charleston, St. Augustine, and Key West. He wanted to drive our roadways, meet lots of people, drink lots of American IPAs, climb lighthouses, catch fish, eat at cookouts, and spend time with good friends. The only thing he wanted to avoid was snakes.

Seeing Dave experience many of the people and places I love gave this sometimes jaded American a real boost. The little moments all added up—seeing him catching feisty blueﬁsh, enjoying meals, and watching him stress about the mess of munching peanuts at a baseball game all brought a smile. We even watched Nottingham Forest’s ﬁrst win in the Premier League at (9am here) after many seasons in the Champions League— it was all magical.

“During my epic journey, I clocked up 7,330 air miles and over 4,000+ miles mainly by car but also by train (VRE) and the occasional UBER,” said Brown. “On numerous occasions, I got asked what your most memorable memory is/ was when I returned home. It’s a question which is/was extremely hard to answer because they ALL were memorable in di erent ways. I found America to be a country full of wonderful people, amazing cities, beautiful natural areas and so much more. Don’t get too down on yourselves America there is much to be proud of.”
