2022 EDITION

of CULPEPER EXAMPLE UNIQUE GIFTS ARTS & CRAFTS

Wine and Design Teresa Lough Near the train depot sits a studio where customers can relax, socialize, begin or enhance their artistic skills and learn different art forms while sipping wine or beer.

Wine and Design in Culpeper on Waters Place is one of 70 national franchises. It is owned by Shannon Armstrong and her husband Brian, who chose the location for its proximity to historic downtown.

“It’s a social gathering, typically a time to socialize, get creative and have a glass of wine,” Shannon said.

Shannon and other artists teach various art forms, including canvas painting, mosaics, stained glass, wooden door hangers and “chunky” knit blankets.

“I am the back-of-the-house guy,” Brian explained. “On busy nights, I am the cook and the bartender.”

“He’s my muscle,” Shannon chimed in with a laugh.

The studio isn’t just for adults and adult beverages. Children can enjoy a “summer camp” atmosphere, as the studio offers a large room for private birthday parties, bridal showers or any special event. The studio offers five divisions – Art Buzz Kids, Team Building, DIY, Paint It Forward and the On Wheels mobile service that comes to you. Paint It Forward is a fundraising tool for non-profits. Wine and Design provides all the materials.

Krut has availed herself of paint kits that can be taken home.

“I have some at the house,” said Krut, who also visits with friends to watch Shannon teach.

The stainless steel tables and concrete floor are splattered with errant paint splotches. There is even a small handprint on a wall.

Corrie Gyory has two young daughters who love attending children’s camp at Wine and Design and has left the children at Shannon’s camp on Wednesdays.

“She is a good trustworthy person,” Gyory said. “I know my kids are going to be fine.”

Shannon developed a strong relationship with one of Gyory’s daughters, who is frequently hospitalized with a medical condition.

“She sent art kits to the hospital,” Gyory said. “It was great therapy for my daughter” Shannon can create programs not associated with the franchise, and the local studio is the only one that offers stained glass classes.

Diana Krut, of Marshall, has been a customer for three years after learning of Armstrong’s studio on Facebook.

While the normal business hours are at night, Shannon and Brian say the studio can be booked at other times. In addition to the beer and wine, the studio offers snacks, sodas, chicken nuggets and mozzarella sticks, among other items, and partners with Far Gohn Brewing Company for flatbread pizza.

“They are great people,” Krut said. “I love the way (Shannon) teaches classes. I have learned a lot.”

Wine and Design also offers a fun date night where couples paint side-byside canvasses that create one painting.

JIMNI Jim Schorr & John Beck Jim Schorr, the owner of JMNI on East Davis Street, embraces the slogans “Be a Culpeper Local” and “Buy Local.”

The business name JIMNI was created by Schorr’s wife Alice. It stands for Jim and I (Alice). A retired blacksmith, Schorr started a business in 2012 at his home that mainly focused on laser engraving.

In 2017, Schorr moved to his current location, where he loves the foot traffic and seeing people stopping by to browse.

Customer Cheri Cherenzia loves Schorr’s craftsmanship, attention to detail and desire to please customers. She has purchased a bench, cabinets, a table and barn door.

“He has a high-quality product,” Cherenzia said.

With a laugh, she said “I could have an open house - [my house] could be the Jimmy Schorr Museum.”

JIMNI will continue carrying trademark products (laser engraving, artistic, custom-made iron farm signs, wooden bowls, residential barn doors and chests) with plans to expand its offerings. Jim sees a growing demand for hand-crafted tables, chairs, desks and coffee tables.

“We are aiming to sell larger furniture like never before, with a nod to nature and organic forms” Schorr said.

Local artisans will be making the furniture using local hardwood – cherry, hickory, walnut and maple. Schorr knows wood and follows through to ensure his standards and the customer’s expectations are met.

As for foot traffic, a serendipitous event occurred in August when John Beck and his wife wandered into the store. Schorr believes that things happen for a reason. Meeting Beck was ordained.

Beck, a retired Florida transplant and self-described “woodturner,” was impressed with the store and kept returning to brainstorm with Jim. He is now the store’s head sales representative.

Retired from a marketing career, Beck offered to help the business grow. The two men struck a business arrangement and creative, new ideas evolved.

“He has done a marvelous job until now, and I predict he will attract a lot of new business to and for our community,” Beck said.

Now they are working with local craftsmen and have formed the Culpeper Artisan Group.

“Given this unusual time of living and working at home, we want to offer a way to enhance this experience. We want to offer furniture that touches and comforts your soul,” Beck said.

Schorr explained that “live edge” furniture features at least one edge of wood that has not been sawed or planed straight and retains much of its natural form. A large, expansive dining table in the showroom has two live edges, which Schorr describes as “nature itself” because “we didn’t make the tree, we’re just bringing it into your home and office.”

While unique, one-of-a-kind wood furniture for the home and office will remain the focus, JIMNI plans to offer other hand-made, decorative arts for home and office spaces. These will include ceramic art, wooden bowls, utilitarian pottery, jewelry and leather.

Schorr puts his heart and soul into his craft.

A sign on the wall says it all - “Unique gifts. You think it; we make it.”

“We need a lot more Johns”

➤ Culpeper Police “What John’s able to do, Department praise from our perspective, co-responder program is our officers can

By Maria Basileo CULPEPER TIMES

John Bankas knows how to connect with the community — be it police officers or members of the public in crisis.

In April, Bankas, a mental health clinician, became embedded with the Culpeper Police Department as a co-responder to de-escalate scenes with clients in crisis and provide resources for further help.

“What John’s able to do, from our perspective, is our officers can take these folks in need of services and refer them to John, so now John can follow up with them,” said Police Chief Chris Jenkins. “(He can) dig down in and find out, what are the issues? Are they not on their medications? Are they a veteran?

What services are they entitled to?

How to get them back on their feet, so they’re not a chronic user of our services and get them back to being functional in our community again.”

Following the denial of a grant application to fund a similar 18-month pilot program in 2018 due to the lack of reliable future funding, the department reached out to local resources to see if they would be willing to help form their own program.

“When the idea of implementing the co-responder program began, we were able to restructure internally and free up a single position to offer to the program,” said Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services Executive Director Jim LaGraffe.

While technically an employee of RRCS, Bankas is funded to work with the department for two years.

When researching how to get the program started, Deputy Chief of Police Major Chris Settle called departments from Kansas to

➤ Program, from Page 3 had Bankas not been there. Officers would have potentially had to make a forced entry and used force.

In response to Bankas’s work on the scene, a 30-year veteran of the force emailed Settle to express his immense pleasure in the way the scene was handled and how it convinced him the program could work.

Settle knew the program would work, he said, he just had to convince the other officers.

Settle explained the tight-knit culture within law enforcement worried him because he wasn’t sure if the other officers would accept Bankas.

“One of the concerns that I had was cops are leery until they build trust,” Jenkins said. “You bring in somebody from another agency - a non-law enforcement agency - inside your building, but I will say, our whole department accepted John immediately.”

The officers see Bankas as “another tool in their tool belt,” Settle said. And said he has even heard colleagues refer to him as “The Bankas.”

Master Police Officer Alan Bankas, who formerly worked as an outpatient therapist, gets cases three different ways - while on patrol with an officer, a referral from an officer or assigned a case from a lienteuent.

The department responds to about 70 crisis calls per month, Bankas said.

Jenkins explained the co-responder cuts down on use of services via the jail, state hospitals and magistrate.

“We know that law enforcement spends too many resources responding to individuals in our community needing behavioral health support,” LaGraffe said.

“Unfortunately, many of these individuals are unknown to us as they have never sought help previously.

As our clinicians are able to meet

MARIA BASILEO | CULPEPER TIMES

Culpeper Police Department Co-Responder John Bankas became embedded in the police department in April and has been funded to continue his work there for two years. people where they are, we are able to get them to the right help at the right time.”

Settle said Bankas’s work has been invaluable in reducing the department’s use of force, freeing up officers to return to law enforcement and providing long-term solutions to issues arising from crisis calls.

Although the officers receive mental health training, Settle said, they are not trained clinicians. Officers trained to arrest those who have broken the law, but find themselves without many resources beyond literature when encountering a person in crisis that has not broken the law.

When responding to calls, Bankas doesn’t dress like an officer, but instead in khakis and a RRCS shirt.

Bankas also spends time everyday following up with clients who have been given resources following encounters with the police.

“Navigating what services are out here is very difficult,” Jenkins said. It’s probably one of the hardest things.”

Settle wishes the department could have seven or eight co-responders so they can have someone on staff at all times.

RRCS approached the Culpeper Wellness Foundation, The Northern Piedmont Community Foun-

dation and the Path Foundation for support for a second position, which they have all supported.

They are currently beginning the recruitment process for that position and will bring that person on as soon as possible.

The leadership that Chief Jenkins and his team display in understanding and wanting to assist our community members in crisis has been admirable,” LaGraffe said.

“We are so happy that we have been able to implement this program in Culpeper. I am especially thrilled that in the very short time it has been running we have seen a positive outcome.” maria@culpepertimes.com

Non-denominational Christian school gives local families more options for education

By Maria Basileo CULPEPER TIMES

Head of School Dr. Tom Burkett had always envisioned expanding Banner Christian School since opening in Chesterfield, Va. campus 19 years ago. Those plans finally materialized this fall with the opening of the Culpeper satellite campus inside the Open Door Baptist Church on Germanna Highway.

“I’d always had the vision that we could replicate what we’re doing,” Burkett said. “We have a really good school. That was always our plan. To be the best school in the area. Not just the best Christian school.” ➤ See School, Page 6 Banner Christian School students and teachers sing songs in the Open Door Baptist Church on Germanna Highway during their praise and worship time on Sept.

➤ Program, from Page 3

The largest issue, Burkett said, would be accreditation, which takes years to accomplish. With Banner opening the campus, the accreditation follows.

Burkett said without the work from “troops on the ground” in Culpeper working to fulfill the work needed to open the school by this fall, the opening would not have been possible.

Burkett began his career working in sports marketing, but found himself as a director of development for a Christian school in the Richmond area, but felt called a non-denominational school.

When first opened, Chesterfield had 67 enrolled students, similar to the number of students at the Culpeper campus.

Chesterfield, called “the flagship campus,” but has since grown to 124 acres of land and the addition of a $4.5 million complex.

The Hanover Banner Christian School campus is set to open next year.

“I think it’s just another option for families,” Burkett said. “We’re not against public schooling. We’re not against private schooling, other Christian schooling. We just felt like that, we have a really good program, and it’s something that we can offer to the Culpeper community. We think they can benefit.” maria@culpepertimes.com

Banner Christian School is an Association of Christian Schools International accredited non-denominational Christian school.

The Culpeper campus is host to student kindergarten through 11th grade.

Burkett describes this year so far in Culpeper as “chaotic.”

“I think what happened is that we had so many families that didnt think we were really going to open,” Burkett said. “So they waited until the last minute and then the first couple of weeks of school we’ve been absolutely inundated with new families that want to come.”

In March, Burkett said, parents from both Culpeper and Hanover reached out to him about incorporating their own Christian schools. At the time, Burkett thought he aid the groups in setting up the schools, but, after realizing the amount of work lay ahead, plans to open another Banner campus began.

Spanberger visits Culpeper horse farm

By Maria Basileo CULPEPER TIMES

U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger (VA-07) visited a local horse breeding farm on Sept. 7 to learn more about its operations as part of a four-stop farm and agribusiness tour in Central Virginia.

“I heard from a wide range of crop and livestock producers in both Culpeper and Orange counties — including Jim and Carolyn Miller.”

Jim and Carolyn Miller, who own Greenstone Farm in Culpeper, began producing German Warmblood horses in the hills of Orange County in 1997.

They spent time last week speaking to Spanberger about the successes and failures on their farm as well as how they managed during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"Last year, and when things quieted down due to Covid, we had, you know, a number of people coming to visit to pick a horse, a number of people asking for videos," Jim Miller said. "As Covid increased, everybody canceled their appointments. The phone didn't ring, and there were no emails, and so we decided to really not breed anything because we kind of really wanted to reduce the size of the herd anyway." “(I) appreciated the opportunity to learn more about some of the recent challenges they have faced due to COVID-19 and weather conditions, as well as how they are strengthening their farm’s resiliency,” Spangerger said.

The Millers, who own 115-acres and rent about the same amount for hay production, explained their use of rotational grazing as well as

U.S. Rep. Abigail Spanberger (VA-07) visited Jim and Carolyn Miller, who own Greenstone Farm in Culpeper, on Sept. 7 to learn more about its operations as part of a four-stop farm and agribusiness tour in Central Virginia. The Millers showed Spanberger the type of fence they use to separate some of their 60 horses as well as some of their foals. their battles with Armyworms, similar to other farmers in the region.

“Greenstone Farm demonstrates how voluntary conservation practices and responsible pasture management techniques can succeed,” Spanberger said. “I was honored to learn more about how they take

care of their horses, protect the soil, and focus on practices that can grow their business.”

Throughout her tour, Spanberger was joined by representatives from the Virginia Farm Bureau Federation, Farm Credit of the Virginias and the Virginia Agribusiness

Council.

“As chair of the Conservation and Forestry Subcommittee, I am committed to making sure Central Virginia operations like Greenstone Farm continue to prosper long into the future,” Spanberger said. maria@culpepertimes.com

U.S. Sen. Tim Kaine hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony for his new Fredericksburg state office on Sept. 7. “We’re happy to have this spot in this great city to continue to help constituents,” Kaine said. “I encourage any Virginian in need of assistance dealing with a federal agency to reach out to my office at kaine. senate.gov or (540) 369-7667. My staff and I are eager and ready to help Virginia’s hard-working families in need, especially as we continue to recover from COVID-19.”

Culpeper businesses report mixed reactions, results to Sept. First Fridays

By Maria Basileo CULPEPER TIMES

Although two downtown Culpeper eateries see the benefit of hosting Culpeper Renaissance, Inc.’s First Friday event, which aspires to create more foot traffic for businesses later in the day, they experienced different outcomes.

“It wasn’t overwhelming but it was a steady movement of people through the store,” said The Frenchman’s Corner Owner Edward Hanlin of the Sept. 3 event. “The First

Friday in August was a little bit better. It seemed to me there were more people on the street that evening than there were the past Friday.”

The event features live music, special sales, tastings, refreshments and more until 8 p.m. every first Friday of the month until November.

“I wouldn’t call it a failure, but I wouldn't say that it was a huge success, but I think it did get people out,” Halin said, adding being

Farm Tour promises a weekend of bucolic, family fun

The Culpeper County Economic Development Office and Culpeper Harvest Days Farm Tour Committee will host the 24th Annual Harvest Days Farm Tour from 10-4 p.m. on Sept. 18-19.

Fun for all ages, the tour will showcase both traditional and unique farms throughout Culpeper County such as Andora Farm, Bees & Trees Farm and Belmont Farm Distillery.

Agriculture is a way of life for many people in Culpeper County, with over 600 working farms. At least one-third of these depend on the farm as their primary source of income with “extensive” amounts of land devoted to livestock, crops, dairy and horses.

The event, a self-guided driving tour, can be started at any of the participating farms. Some farms will feature specific activities, food, plants, herbs and gift shop items.

Back by popular demand, pick up a passport at the start of your tour, which can be stamped at each farm and enter a giveaway.

Download the new Farm Tour application to assist in planning your visits. The exciting new app provides a map feature for easy navigation and a calendar to help plan your tour.

In addition to the app, you can still download the brochure by visiting www.CulpeperFarmTour.com or pick up a brochure during the event.

Name: Joe Short Age: 56 Employment: Senior Systems Engineer Website: www.facebook.com/ Joe4Culpeper Why are you running for this position?

Culpeper is an amazing town with unique character. I want to help lead our town into our next era of growth and opportunity. We have local issues to immediately address such as budgeting a longterm solution to our water quality, providing safe shelter and a Joe productive future Short for our homeless, and scaling zoning policies and tax structure to incentivize business growth and individual property improvements. We are ready to expand our police department’s co- responder program, establish recreational activities for youth and families, and unite around the significant history that is a part of each of us. We have collaborated with our merchants to establish Davis Street as a destination point for tourists and travelers — it is time to focus on our north and southside businesses. We own the responsibility to tell the complete history of Culpeper in a way that unites – my prayer is that Culpeper models a unifying and grace-filled approach to racial division that honors our past and teaches future generations. Strategic and experienced leadership; building coalitions across organizations; fresh energy and vision – and a deep desire to give back to a town that adopted my family 17 years ago – this is why I am running!

Why are you the best candidate?

My background, experiences and

2021 VOTER’S GUIDE

strengths give me a distinct advantage as a member of town council. After serving in the US Army, I continued serving as a Department of Defense contractor supporting warfighters in Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I), specializing in advanced systems engineering and project management while engaging my strengths in strategic leadership, team and coalitionbuilding and mentoring the next generation of leaders. I have 25 years of experience and skills coordinating large programs across multiple federal agencies, private industry, and academic institutions to complete national objectives. I am skilled at designing enterprise and local systems and processes, recognizing risks and opportunities, and identifying solutions.

I have a unique perspective in that I have invested in our town for 17 years. I have helped develop and manage 501(3) C organizations and small businesses, established and led youth scouting and sports programs, supported and gave leadership to church ministries, helped to plan and conduct homeschool cooperative programs, instructed firearm classes and coordinated neighborhood and community outreach events. I believe my experienced leadership and proven capability to unite people and teams around a shared vision to accomplish something great is what makes me the best candidate.

Name: Elizabeth Hutchins Age: 65 Employment: Retired Website: https://www.facebook.com/ hutchinsforschoolboard/ Why are you running for this position?

I am a Culpeper native and a graduate of Culpeper County High School. I taught for CCPS before staying home to raise our two children. I served on the school board for 16 years representing the Cedar Mountain and Stevensburg districts.

Numerous parents, teachers, and community members from across the county encouraged Elizabeth me to run again. I Hutchins believe my extensive experience as a parent, teacher, and former school board member will be an asset to the board.

I believe in public education. I believe that all children should haven access to a high quality education. I will be a board member who works to build positive relationships to provide the best education possible for Culpeper’s children. All stakeholders must have a voice in the school system. I will work to increase transparency in board actions and improve communication with parents. Our schools must do a better job

of reaching students who are struggling academically. There is a national teacher shortage and we must focus on retaining experienced staff. Hiring new and inexperienced staff isn’t cost effective.

We must begin now to address the impending growth in student population.

Why are you the best candidate?

I am the best person to represent the Stevensburg District on the board because of my experience, my passion for public education, and my proven record of team building. As a parent, a former middle school teacher, a former school board member, and a community volunteer, I’ve experienced the public school system from all angles. My entire adult life has been dedicated to the children of the county.

I’ve spent hours listening and working with parents to address concerns. I’ve worked with students to help them reach their potential. I’ve worked in the community to provide additional educational experiences. Having worked in both secondary and elementary classrooms, I understand the challenges at each level of the system. While on the school board, I worked to build EVHS, Yowell Elementary, CTEC and the MVGS program. I worked to provide a safe learning environment. Moving forward, we must address the needs of our struggling students. I have the experience, the knowledge, and the time.

I would be honored to represent the residents of the Stevensburg District.

Name: Lori Medley Age: 64 Employment: Retired Website: https://www.facebook.com/ Lori4Schools Why are you running for this position?

Recently, our children’s education has received a lot of attention. Busy parents need to feel confident that when they send their children off to school, what they are being taught aligns with their own values; and that

when they graduate from high school, they are well prepared to take on the next challenges of life. Culpeper schools are doing a great job in that regard, but there are several important issues looming in the future. One such issue is ‘equity education’ that seek to lower the bar across the board, rather than raise the skills of those struggling to achieve competency. Also, Virginia Education Association, a teacher’s union, will soon be negotiating teachers’ contracts with the school board. Their website

states they want to get more Black Lives Matter into schools. While I agree that Black lives matter, I don’t feel it is appropriate in our schools. What does it say to our Hispanic students? You don’t have ‘white privilege’ and you’re not Black, so you don’t matter?

I am running because I feel I am the best candidate to head off these issues before they arrive at our doors.

Lori I love Culpeper and Medley want to give in a meaningful way.

Why are you the best candidate?

My biracial grandson just entered the Culpeper school system. I have a long-term interest in ensuring he, and all students, receive the best education possible. I have taught in a military setting and as a substitute teacher.

I have successfully lead teams of up to 26 people. I have experience in hiring/firing/disciplinary actions and budget management. My social work background brings a skill set that will assist with bringing diverse groups together to form a consensus. My military and engineering management background brings personnel and project management leadership, plus an understanding of career options after high school. I am a proactive researcher who will keep her eye on the horizon for issues that will impact our students’ educational environment.

Culpeper Times • September 16-29, 2021 Name: Laura Rogers Age: 54 Employment: Braggs Corner Properties LLC, commercial real estate; County of Culpeper, County Planning Commissioner Website: www.VoteLauraBOS.com Why are you running for this position?

The Stevensburg District needs experienced and dedicated representation. My 12 years of experience as a County Planning Commissioner has proven my commitment to public service and given me the background to serve as a supervisor. After years of working on the comprehensive plan, recommending Laura appropriate Rogers guidance to the board on issues related to planning, land uses and community development, I am ready to tackle the hard work of directing policy and managing the economic growth of the county. My 24 years of experience as a business owner reinforces my view that approving and balancing budgets is critical to good governance. Improvements in infrastructure and technology are needed, as well as services such as

2021 VOTER’S GUIDE schools, emergency management and law enforcement. All of this can be managed while preserving Culpeper’s natural resources and rural charm.

In recent years, outside forces and developers have sought to change the county in ways that don’t align with the comprehensive plan, but as a supervisor, I’m committed to improving the county and managing growth while maintaining the historic and agricultural heritage that attracts residents, businesses and visitors alike.

I know I can get things done for my district, and I’m ready to work for you.

Why are you the best candidate?

It’s time for new leadership in Stevensburg. My love of Culpeper has driven me to run for the Board of Supervisors because I believe I have the experience and vision to make Culpeper a better place. I am the candidate who has a proven record of public service and commitment to the community with 12 years on the planning commission, a past board member at the Chamber of Commerce, who chaired multiple CulpeperFest events, an active parent and fundraiser during children’s school years, and a successful business owner. I am running as an Independent because I believe in representing all constituents of my district regardless of political labels. Partisan politics can be divisive.

My goal is to unite all residents with my positive vision to improve the county via infrastructure like broadband and roads, manage growth and economic

development while preserving the rural character of Culpeper. Culpeper continues to attract new residents and visitors, and the increasing demand for services — such as schools, emergency services and law enforcement — all

must be provided within a balanced budget. I have the track record, the energy and dedication and am excited about the opportunity to serve as Stevensburg’s next member of the Board of Supervisors.

Name: C. Jack Frazier Age: 71 Employment: Self-employed Why are you running for this position?

My wife and I are life time residents of Culpeper County. My service in Culpeper County includes serving on the planning commission for approximately 5 years and currently on track to complete eight years as the Cedar Mountain Supervisor in December.

Why are you the best C. Jack candidate?

Frazier Some things I have worked on as a supervisor include working with a delegation that went to New York in 2015. Our mission on this trip was to enhance Culpeper County’s credit rating. This dealt with bonds on Eastern View High School and Yowell Elementary School. At approximately

$60 million, our credit rating before was double A+. After presenting our case to three bond rating companies, we came away with a triple A-rating and saved Culpeper County over $5.5 million in interest and, after reselling bonds, did not extend the term. We worked with constituents to deter Dominion Power from relocating a 120 KVA power line through the Cedar Mountain District. This would have been detrimental to land owners and to the historic value ofour district. I spearheaded CTE with Sue Hansohn through the board process. This is a project that will benefit many young people for years to come. As chairman of building and grounds, I worked on many projects at the Carver Center, museum, pathways, brick sidewalk, an ongoing renovation project. My other duties include all county owned buildings. I served as board chairperson in 2017 and worked on many zoning issues for constituents in our district and other districts. This is just a few of the things that I have worked on as your supervisor. I am willing to serve if elected.

Culpeper Times • September 16-29, 2021

According to the Town of Culpeper’s Charter, the mayor presides over council meetings and is recognized as the head of the town government for all ceremonial purposes.

Jon Russell was elected to Culpeper Town Council in

July 2014. His current term expires in December 2021.

He is running for mayor as an Independent. He currently serves on the personnel and ordinance, public safety, public works, planning and community development committees.

Frank Reaves, Jr. has served on the Culpeper Town Council since July 2010.

His current term expires in December 2023. He is running for mayor as an Independent.

He currently serves as the chairman of the personnel and

ordinance committee and as a member of the light, power and environmental services committee.

Current Mayor Michael Olinger opted not to run for reelection in May in order to spend more time with his family.

Name: Frank Reaves Jr. Age: 69 Employment: Town of Culpeper Councilman Website: https://www.facebook. com/FrankReavesJr Why are you running for this position?

I am a man of the people. I was born, raised and have been a Culpeper resident all of my life. My entire career has been in the public sector, so I am no stranger to working with people in all aspects of life. I have seen and been a part of this growing community throughout the years and I will continue to work with individuals, groups and organizations to bring positive advancements for

the Town of Culpeper. I will always be a voice for the people and work with all divisions of local departments, government and residents to further their quality of life and bring a harmonious understanding for the needs of all.

Why are you the best Frank candidate?

Reaves Jr. Culpeper is an amazing town. From its historic downtown areas, to its rich cultural diversity and to its people, Culpeper

really is a special place. This town has advanced so much in the past years but has never failed to lose its charm. If elected mayor, I would keep traditional values of our town but work with the citizens and our local groups to get their take on what could make Culpeper a better place. Working closely with the public is something that I have done throughout my entire professional career and my personal life. I am a man of the people and that is

something that I believe people can relate to and rally under. I will work to bring fresh ideas to the table and understand the general interest of what people want in their town. I am a big advocate of establishing a community center and working with groups to advance the opportunities of our local youth. These young people are our future, and we owe it to them to help secure methods and resources to further them along their paths.

Name: Jon Russell Age: 45 Employment: Small business owner Website: www.jonrussellformayor. com Why are you running for this position?

As your next mayor, my job will be to promote our quality of life, law enforcement, small businesses, and history.

Whether you are from here or moved here, we all have a responsibility to be ambassadors for our town. We will preserve our small town Jon atmosphere while Russell meeting modern needs of our families. Culpeper is the 5th fastest growing community in Virginia. We need thoughtful growth — not uncontrolled growth.

As is my record on town council, I will not be a rubber stamp for the government and will challenge cheap development from turning us into northern Virginia. Working with police, churches, and nonprofits, my highest priority will be to reduce homelessness and rid our town of heroin by whatever means available.

We need new energy for Culpeper to meet the challenges coming at us from every direction. While other cities are wrongly defunding police, tearing down historic statues and names, a few people are trying to do

the same in Culpeper by changing the name of Lake Pelham. That is not who we are.

Culpeper is different because we invest in our community by building up our quality of life, businesses, law enforcement and rich history.

Why are you the best candidate?

It’s about Culpeper. Culpeper is the best because of our families, churches, and small businesses. As a small business owner, I know what it will take for Culpeper to be the best place in Virginia to start a business and relocate a business. This means low taxes, ending double taxation on cars, flexible land use for diverse housing and recreation, and clean/ drinkable tap water to meet the highest standards. As a husband of 19 years to Sarah Russell and father of four children, we need to bring more to Culpeper for our families.

This includes a public pool without tax increases and family-friendly businesses; for example, an indoor trampoline park and interactive children’s museum. I’m fully supportive of the privately funded southside recreation center being built for our youth. As a Christian, I’m well-connected with most pastors in Culpeper. I appreciate the role our churches play in meeting the spiritual, physical, and financial needs of our citizens. Moving forward, our churches need to be strategic partners in addressing homelessness and heroin addiction. We owe it to those who built our community and ourselves to preserve and improve our way of life. We can do this together with your vote.

I enjoy guiding and assisting each one in helping them to achieve their goals.

Why are you the best candidate?

My record of past achievements shows my dedication to the

Stevensburg District. For instance, I was instrumental in helping to establish the first Agricultural and Forestal District in Stevensburg.

The program helps ensure land use valuation for existing farmers, which helps them to viably continue farming. I succeeded in getting the speed limit adjusted through Stevensburg. I succeeded in getting the speed limit lowered in front of the Richardsville Fire Department for safety reasons, and I continue to work with parties involved to reopen Richards Ferry Road. Additionally, I have continued to support each area within Stevensburg. I have continued to support both Brandy Station and Richardsville Fire Departments, as well as their EMS Department. I have always supported the Sheriff's Department for the county's security and safety. I have always supported the school system and still maintain positive relationships with the school board, the school administration of both the public and private schools.

My experience, knowledge of the area, the people of Culpeper County and my past record of achievements make me the best qualified candidate.

Name: David Durr Age: 64 Employment: Retired Website: www.votedaviddurr.com Why are you running for this position?

My wife, Joanne, and I have lived in Culpeper since 2007. While we are not lifelongresidents, over the last 14 years, we have become part of the community. Culpeper has become our home. I am running for the Cedar Mountain seat on the Board of Supervisors because my experience as a business leader and local volunteer position me to help the county David work through Durr issues that are important to our future. We live in rapidly changing times. It is important that our leaders move the county in a direction of positive growth, while maintaining the ideals that make Culpeper the special place that it is. I believe in fiscal responsibility. Supporting our farmers and agricultural heritage helps to control our taxes and to maintain our country way of life. I believe tax dollars should be spent wisely and not on pet projects or unnecessary special elections. I believe supervisors should listen to their constituents, work together to solve issues and not be loyal to a political party. As a businessperson and a volunteer, I have found that things happen when people

work together for a common purpose.

I am running for the Cedar Mountain seat on the Board of Supervisors because I believe I can make a difference.

Why are you the best candidate?

Many years ago, I started my professional career as a manager trainee. A manager trainee is someone who has very little authority but is responsible to get things done.

I learned quickly that respecting and listening to the people I worked with was the only way to get things accomplished. Many years later, now that I am older and maybe wiser, I find this lesson still holds true. I have been the general manager of Culpeper Farmers’ Cooperative and chairperson of the board of the Chamber of Commerce. In these positions, I became part of the business community of Culpeper. However, since retiring, my career has moved to volunteer service.

As a member of the Mid-Day Lions Club, I am part off an organization that donated over $80,000 to local charities in 2019. As a helper at the Culpeper Food Closet and Mana Ministries, I help to provide food to those less fortunate.

As a volunteer, I have seen the importance of community service, and realize in both community service and business, things happen when people work together. I have the business experience to understand the complexities of being a member of the Board of Supervisors. More importantly, I can work with a wide variety of people to accomplish goals and move our county forward.

I am running for town council because I want to give back to the town and community that has given so much to me. I’m a Culpeper native, who has lived in town most of my life. Over the last few years, I’ve watched B. Travis as the hyperBrown polarization of national politics leaked into my hometown. All this has done is

Name: Robert Mayles, Jr. Age: 41 Employment: Human Resources Director/EEO Officer for Autumn Lane Investments, LLC Website: https://maylesforculpeper. wixsite.com/website Why are you running for this position?

Having lived and worked in Culpeper for over 10 years, I am privileged to have met many amazing people and businesses. I’ve also learned about the challenges and needs Culpeper faces. Because of this, I am seeking an opportunity to address these needs by bringing the focus back to Culpeper. There is Robert a trend in small Mayles Jr. communities, including Culpeper, of bringing national politics into local discussions.

While national topics can impact us, we need to address local issues first to see true change. Culpeper County has earned the reputation of being a bedroom community for northern Virginia businesses. This has impacted our local employers, small businesses, nonprofit organizations, and housing market. Additionally, Culpeper is challenged with providing year-round activities for the entire family. With the recent closures of our bowling alley and skating rink, there is a need for

indoor family entertainment. There is also an opportunity to provide activities that are available to all of our youth. Culpeper is where my wife and I both work and live and where our son goes to school. This community has given me so much opportunity for personal and professional growth, and now I want to give back.

Why are you the best candidate?

The majority of my professional experience in Culpeper has been in human resources working for locally operated employers. I served on the board of directors for the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce as well as sat on their Major Industry Advisory Council and Young Professionals Committee. Through this, I had earned the opportunity to lead the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce as president/ CEO for two years. My background has allowed me to be engaged with the local economy, business development and advocacy, and the local, state and federal government and the balance it takes between all of these sectors in order for a community to function. I have volunteered with multiple local nonprofit organizations, consulted local businesses and organizations, served as a board member for the Virginia Career Works - Piedmont Region, and sat on the Culpeper Economic Development Advisory Council.

During my time in Culpeper, I have gained a strong understanding of the needs of our community’s businesses and citizens and hope to apply this knowledge to our local government.

Name: Adrian D. Sledge Age: 47 Employment: Logistics Management Specialist Department of the Army Why are you running for this position?

I’m running for town council because I want to continue to maintain a non-partisan government in Culpeper. We must focus on local issues that are important to the citizens of Culpeper. The town is in need of a youth center. I believe this can get done with Adrian D. collaboration Sledge from the board of supervisors. I will fight to reduce property and business taxes. I will also demand better housing conditions for low income families.

Clean water has also been an issue in this town since I arrived here in 2012.

Once I’m elected, I will work with other members of the council to get this resolved within the first year of my

term.

Finally, I will continue to work with our outstanding law enforcement, which I consider one of the best in the country. They will receive my continued support and we will find ways to spread our community policing across the state of Virginia.

Why are you the best candidate?

I am the best candidate because I have the experience and knowledge of being a leader. I have served the United States Army for 26 years and during that time I served as a noncommissioned officer for 22 of those years. Also I have been a pastor of a church for 12 years. Pastoring requires working with people in church and throughout the community. These positions have allowed me to serve others. They have also given me an ability to be empathetic with all of people’s issues. I believe that the council is about serving the great constituents of this town. In both jobs, I took an oath to serve this country and to serve God. This requires me to always put people first. When I’m elected, I will never forget why I’m in office. I will be here for all of Culpeper.

I will be a voice for those in town and the county. I’m not running against anyone. I’m running for Culpeper.

Name: Susan Gugino Age: 39 Employment: Owner/operator Muddy Flats Farm, LLC and part time IT support specialist at SWIFT Website: www.facebook.com/ susanlgugino Why are you running for this position?

I feel it is time for the next generation to carry on the legacy of protecting Culpeper’s agricultural and historical resources, being a great place to start a family and being business friendly.

I am a farmer and an IT professional and want the next generations to grow up in the Culpeper I have fallen in love with.

Susan My husband and Gugino I moved here to start our farm, and we planted roots here with our farming business and starting a family. There are some people that would like to change Culpeper by making it more developer friendly, which would ultimately raise taxes and increase stress on our roads and schools. I feel that is not in the best interest of the people of Culpeper.

Growth needs to follow a well thought out plan, not precede it. I don’t want Culpeper to turn into another high tax, high traffic town of Northern Virginia.

Why are you the best candidate?

I feel I’m the best candidate because I understand what the current Culpeper residents are going through.

I am a farmer; I understand what it means to make a living off the land.

I understand how times can be hard and times can be good. I want to be available to all Culpeper residents to be there for them in both times. We already have developers, builders, and realtors represented on the board of supervisors; we need to ensure our other citizens are also well represented.

I am a businesswoman; I work part time at SWIFT. I also spent 12 years working for the government managing projects and budgets. I have degrees in engineering and telecommunications. I am a member of the Culpeper Business Women organization, that not only supports women business owners, but also provides scholarships to local high school students for college or CTEC classes. I am a wife and a mother; I can relate to issues that families in Culpeper are facing. These include kids’ activities, daycare, and general cost of living concerns. I have nothing to gain from being on the board. I only have myself to give.

Name: William Yowell Age: 72 Employment: Retired Why are you running for this position?

I am a lifelong resident of Culpeper, born and raised here. I am currently the vice mayor with 30 years of service to our citizens and desire to continue in that capacity. I am running for this office because, in these times, I believe that experience counts. I have been chairman of the finance committee, chairman of the light and power committee, chairman of the public works committee and have a William long history of Yowell community service.

I believe any elected official’s primary responsibility is as a fiduciary of the people’s tax dollars. We have not raised real estate taxes in 20 years.

I continue to support our police department and am proud that they have achieved advanced certifications from the Certified Law Enforcement Agency (CALEA). I have supported and voted for the effort for a local swimming pool and enhancements to our parks for our youth. I will continue to promote the “common sense”

approach to our town government.

Why are you the best candidate?

As a proven conservative town council member, I will continue to provide experience. I have a degree in finance and economics from Virginia Tech. We have challenges ahead as all communities do. We do not have water quality issues as other candidates have suggested.

A 2019 independent study by Hazen and Sawyer concluded that the town has optimized the operation of the water treatment and system.

The town received a silver award in 2020 from the Virginia Department of Health of Water Quality. I love promoting Culpeper and meeting all of the new residents that say the same.

I look forward to serving you for the next four years, and I ask for your vote on Nov. 2.

I am excited to be running for Culpeper Town Council. I am not a politician, but I am a good citizen who feels drawn to participate in helping to make wise, constructive, responsible decisions for the smart growth, safety and prosperity of our town and N. Janie all its citizens.

Schmidt Regardless of anyone’s political party preference, regardless of nationality, culture, color, age, gender or faith, we need to show that Culpeper can work cohesively as a community strong, prepared and united. I would like to see us model this for our children and instill that sense of camaraderie and equity. The windfall $19.5 million in ARPA funding the Town

of Culpeper has received needs to be spent in a fiscally responsible way that will make our community robust by encouraging new businesses, promoting better job opportunities and pay, making necessary water and electric distribution infrastructure improvements, fully supporting our police, fire, and rescue, and finding a solution for homeless housing.

Inflation is on the rise with higher cost of living for our families and cost of operation for our businesses. While property values have increased, so will follow real estate taxes.

Name: James “Fred” Sapp Age: 47 Employment: Xerox Business Solutions Website: fred4culpepercouncil.com Why are you running for this position?

I am running out of a love for the town I call home. In the last several years, I have watched as the status quo has become a noose for the average citizen of Culpeper. Meaning the good ol’ boy network has continued to take care of friends and lined their own pockets. There are those in this town James with money and “Fred” Sapp influence that have come to expect they play the music and the council dances. Meanwhile, the hardworking pick themselves up by the bootstraps and pay the bills. When I look at our founding, Culpeper played an integral part, but it was the common citizen — even back then — that stood up for the morals and values we hold dear in this country. Well I believe in “We the People.” All the people, not just the well-to-do. My daughter has never lived anywhere else, and I want her to remember that and recognize that

7

same Culpeper twenty years from now. She deserves better as do all the citizens of Culpeper.

Why are you the best candidate?

I am a person who was taught at a young age, “You are part of the problem or part of the solution.” Culpeper’s gone from a tourist destination with the economic benefits of tourism to a place where tourists are now living while going elsewhere to spend.

The council in our town has allowed developers to buy their votes for pet projects and those of friends. As a council person, I will keep Culpeper a place where the underserved in the community over many generations can continue to afford to live. I want our children to have opportunities I realized at their ages, without falling into the traps that will send them to prison. Only someone who understands not knowing where the next meal is coming from can speak for those people. I have also known success in my adult years. When I look at our town the successful have no idea where the underserved even live. A council person was out with me recently in one of those areas of town and happened to comment, “I have never been here.

Heck, I didn’t even know here existed.”

No councilperson should ever be able to say that statement. I am the best person because I will represent all the people of Culpeper in every corner of Culpeper.

We all bring different skill sets and backgrounds to the table as candidates. Ultimately, voters will look at experience and vision. I have the experience of over two decades of work on important, high profile public policy issues. I have the experience of working with diverse stakeholders and teams to accomplish significant things.

Name: Pranas Rimeikis Age: 69 Employment: Retired Why are you running for this position?

During my 16 years serving Culpeper as mayor and as a councilman, council has worked as a team, laying solid fiscal and infrastructurebased foundations that have allowed Culpeper to grow into the vibrant town it is today. However, I now see political ideology increasingly invading townlevel politics, Pranas resulting in Remeikis positions taken to appease political interests and personal ambition and not to serve the practical needs of the community.

I believe it is important to keep town council neutral and to put Culpeper first. I would like to continue my service to the town, as an independent voice, to keep Culpeper moving forwards as a united community.

Why are you the best candidate?

Sixteen years of service to the town has given me a good understanding of local and state government, what does and doesn’t work, how to get things done and the limits of what town government can legally accomplish.

I am not going to make unrealistic promises. I would bring knowledge and experience to help keep Culpeper thriving. I always aim to approach issues from a neutral position. I do my homework, analyze the details, and only then form an opinion as to what I believe would work best for Culpeper’s interests.

H E A LT H What you need to know about living with AFib

➤ If your heart skips a beat, it could be more than butterflies

When we walk upstairs with a heavy box or play sports in the heat, our hearts can beat faster than we’re comfortable with. But if you find this happening more often than usual, it could mean something more serious, like atrial fibrillation (AFib).

According to the American Heart Association, there are more than 2.7 million Americans living with AFib. And the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicts that 12.1 million people in the United States will have AFib by 2030.

Although many Americans are living with AFib, it can be deadly if not managed properly.

Rohit Malhotra, MD, FACC, is a cardiac electrophysiologist at UVA Cardiology, a department of Culpeper Medical Center, who specializes in treating conditions involving irregular heart rhythms.

He answers some commonly asked questions and shares guidance on how to successfully manage AFib. WHAT IS ATRIAL FIBRILLATION?

“Atrial fibrillation, or AFib, is the most common type of treated heart arrhythmia – a condition when the heart beats too slowly, too fast or in an irregular way,” said Malhotra.

The heart is comprised of two pumping systems – left and right – and each side has two chambers

“Being diagnosed with AFib can be scary at first, but it doesn’t mean you can’t participate in the activities and exercise you enjoy. Talk to your cardiologist and primary care provider to establish the best plan to manage your AFib.” Rohit Malhotra, MD, FACC Rohit Malhotra, MD, FACC – an upper (atrium) and a lower (ventricle). When blood pumps through the heart, it does so in a rhythmic pattern.

AFib occurs when the upper chambers and lower chambers are not in sync, causing the heart to beat irregularly, sometimes dangerously fast or slow.

WHAT ARE SYMPTOMS OF AFIB?

“The most common symptom of AFib is a fluttering heartbeat, almost like you have butterflies in your chest,” Malhotra said. “The abnormal firing of electrical impulses causes the atria to quiver or tremor which produces that feeling of fluttering.”

Other symptoms can include: • Fatigue • Rapid heartbeat • Thumping in chest • Dizziness • Shortness of breath • Weakness • Fainting or confusion

• Fatigue when exercising • Sweating • Chest pain or pressure* *Note: Chest pain or pressure is a medical emergency. Please call 911 immediately if you are experiencing this symptom.

WHAT ARE THE RISK FACTORS FOR AFIB?

“Risk for AFib increases with age, as well as those with high blood pressure and obesity,” said Malhotra. “White Americans are at higher risk than others.”

Other risk factors include diabetes, heart disease, moderate to heavy alcohol use and smoking.

WHAT ARE THE TREATMENT OPTIONS?

Malhotra noted that AFib can be diagnosed using an electrocardiogram (EKG), stress testing, an echocardiogram, and monitoring.

Once AFib is diagnosed, the biggest factors to consider are preventing blood clots, stroke and heart failure, since those with

AFib are at an increased risk for these conditions.

Treatment focuses on symptoms and maintaining a safe heart rate and not letting it get too high when exercising or doing everyday activities.

“We can also consider medications like beta blockers and calcium channel blockers to help control heart rate, and blood thinners to prevent blood clots,” Malhotra said.

Surgical options including ablation or an electrical cardioversion – a procedure that “resets” the heart rhythm – may be recommended in some cases.

However, every case of AFib is different. Patients should talk to their cardiologist about possible treatment options.

SO, WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle can help manage AFib and improve heart health overall.

Employing an exercise routine that is within your limits, quitting smoking, limiting alcohol and caffeine intake, and monitoring preexisting chronic conditions are only some examples of how to live a healthy lifestyle.

“Being diagnosed with AFib can be scary at first, but it doesn’t mean you can’t participate in the activities and exercise you enjoy,” said Malhotra. “Talk to your cardiologist and primary care provider to establish the best plan to manage your AFib.” For more information about cardiac care in Culpeper, visit NovantHealthUVA.org/uvacardiology.

Creative commonality blossoms into business partnership, friendship On a bright sunny afternoon, John Beck walked into an artisan store on East Davis Street after relocating from Florida. The rest was serendipity!

For twenty years, John and Carol Beck raised their two daughters in Florida. When their daughters moved away — one to Texas and one to Virginia — they Sarah Langland no longer had ties there. When their daughter in Alexandria had a baby, it was an easy decision to move to be closer to their granddaughter.

Last summer, the Becks began looking for a home in Virginia, but, although they wanted to to be closer to family, they did not want to stray too far from their scenic lakeside view.

Carol, a retired curator, wanted to move somewhere with history where she could learn the stories of her new hometown. The pair began looking in Fredericksburg. They found history and culture, but not a home that was special and spoke to them.

On a Tuesday night in July, the Becks decided to look at towns within 45 minutes of Fredericksburg.

The first home they saw online was a 120-year-old house in downtown Culpeper. They knew this was the one, however, houses were selling quickly.

Serendipity whispered.

SIPS OF SERENDIPITY

Despite being out of state, Carol called their realtor and scheduled to see it the next day. The house was just what they were looking for; Carol didn’t hesitate to make an offer.

After closing on the home last August, Carol suggested they have lunch at this charming place she went to when she first saw the house, It’s About Thyme.

After lunch, John was drawn to a woodshop called Jimni near the restaurant.

Jim and Alice met 27 years ago, and it was love at first sight. They spotted each other, and thanks to a mutual friend, were introduced.

Jim had started his business, but he didn’t have a name for it yet.

Alice was thinking of a name when suddenly the proverbial light bulb went off. JIMNI (pronounced Jim-n-I), she said. They looked at each other and knew that was it. The business evolved over the years, but the name Jimni has remained.

Jim has always been hardworking and ingenuitive in his entrepreneurial endeavors. He knew he was creative in solving problems, but never thought of himself as artistic until a friend introduced him to a laser engraving machine. After that, he started creating custom boxes, metal art, and more. Jim and Alice even opened a store to sell his creations.

While visiting Jimni, John told Jim how he has been enjoying making wood crafts in his retirement and how much he loved the products in the store. John, like Jim, did not discover his creative side until he was given a wood lathe, even though artists

surrounded him through his wife’s career.

Jim shared how he enjoys creating, but the time in the shop keeps him from his creative projects. John, being an entrepreneur, wanted to learn more about what a small business like Jimni is like to run. John came back a couple of times afterward and then had an idea how to help each other.

As the holiday season was approaching, John offered to handle the store’s day-to-day operations, selling products, talking to customers, etc. This would give Jim more time to do what he loves. Jim and Alice agreed to the arrangement.

This time together led to John and Jim becoming more than business partners; they became friends. They affectionately refer to each other as “Frick and Frack.”

Serendipity can be found in Jimni. Literally, there is a sign that simply says, “Serendipity” hanging on the wall, but it’s more than a sign.

Almost a year later, Carol recalled calling a friend of hers the day they closed on the house. She told her friend about John discovering Jimni.

Her friend said, “I can envision John there.” Little did they know that serendipity did too!

Jimni has many tales of serendipity, so next time you are there, ask about them. There are several.

Would you, or someone you know, like to be featured in a future Sips of Serendipity? I would love to hear your story! Please email me at SipsOfSerendipity@gmail.com.

Durr to bring change to board of supervisors

This fall, voters in the Cedar Mountain District (Pearl Sample, Mitchells, and South Ridge Precincts) have an opportunity to vote for a change on the Board of Supervisors. I support David Durr for this position.

David came to Culpeper in 2007 to be the general manager of the Culpeper Farmer’s Cooperative. His qualifications for that job included a lifetime in the agriculture industry, an MBA from Mt. Saint Mary’s University, and a bachelor’s degree in agricultural economics from Oklahoma State University.

He quickly became known as a leader. In 2008, he was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Culpeper

Chamber of Commerce. He became chairman in 2013. Ask any member of the Culpeper Business community, and they will likely count David Durr as a friend and reliable advisor. David Durr’s connection and service to our county does not stop with his business ties.

David Durr serves on the Culpeper County Agricultural & Forestall District Advisory Committee.

Agriculture is one of the largest drivers of the Culpeper economy, employing our citizens both directly on farms and indirectly in supporting businesses, such as trucking and other services.

Many people know David and his wife, Joanne, for their tireless efforts on behalf of numerous non-profit

organizations. This is how I came to know David — as a member of the Culpeper Mid-Day Lions. He is also past board vice president of the Museum of Culpeper History and currently serves as museum treasurer.

David is a trustee of Masonic Lodge 43 located on Davis Street. David volunteers at the Culpeper Food Closet and helps me during my monthly turn preparing food at Manna Ministry.

Early voting begins Sept. 17.

Election Day is Nov. 2. Please join me in supporting David Durr for Cedar Mountain representative on the Culpeper Board of Supervisors.

R E A L E S TAT E Germanna Community College police chief praised during difficult time for law enforcement Germanna Community College Police Department Chief Craig Branch was presented with the President's Award at the the Virginia Association of Chiefs of Police & Foundation Annual Conference in Williamsburg on Aug. 23.

"The last 18 months have been tough for Virginia law enforcement, and it's been difficult to identify just who our champions are. There is one chief who stands out for his steadfast dedication to the profession and whose work deserves recognition,” said VACP President

Chief Maggie DeBoard. “Craig Branch is best described as our 'goto guy. He steps up and has served in numerous positions on behalf of Virginia law enforcement."

Branch has led Germanna's Police Department for 10 years and has over 25 years experience in law enforcement. He's been a member of the VACP Executive Board since 2017 and was elected this year to the position of Third Vice President. Previously, he served two terms as president of the Virginia Association of Campus Law Enforcement Administrators.

"It is an absolute honor and truly humbling to be recognized by your peers with such a prestigious award," Branch said. "I entered into the law

enforcement field under the mindset of giving 100 percent to the profession, this great Commonwealth, and the communities I serve. Doing anything less would bring dishonor to the badge, it's public trust, and all of those law enforcement officers that have paid the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty."

Each year, the president of the VACP selects an individual for the award who exemplifies the true police professional – and someone who has been a tremendous asset to the Virginia law enforcement community.

Stevensburg District Voters, I encourage you to vote Elizabeth Hutchins for school board. I was privileged to work with her on the school board for over six years. She has the knowledge of the schools and works hard to make sure our students get the best education possible.

Elizabeth has served as chair and vice

chair.

Mrs. Hutchins is non-partisan and will work closely with the other board members, the board of supervisors, and the administration to get the most effective use of all funds. She is a strong proponent of the Culpeper Technical Education Center and worked to get the best value in the

construction of Eastern View High School, Yowell Elementary School, and the renovation of Culpeper High School. She taught in the Culpeper school system and continues to volunteer in the system.

Elizabeth is respected by everyone for her work ethic, careful study of issues, and willingness to stand up

Purcellville’s Captain America brings hope

By Amy Wagner

FOR THE CULPEPER TIMES

Purcellville’s personal Captain America can be seen handing out smiles all while bringing awareness to important non-profit organizations.

Ryan White’s quest to superhero stardom began when he and his wife raised money for brand new books for the Inova Loudoun children’s department while living in Leesburg several years ago.

Years later in 2019, White decided he wanted to do more to put a smile on young faces and could probably pull off a Captain America.

He asked if could visit the hospital to read to children dressed as Captain America. Upon arriving, White noticed there weren't any children in the inpatient portion.

Still, he suited up and visited with some of the nurses and adults. He was subsequently escorted down to the emergency room where he took photos with children, teens and adults.

Since that visit, White has been planting more seeds of kindness.

A 40-year-old government contractor, White now resides in Purcellville, Virginia with his wife and three children.

White prefers not to disclose his name because “it’s not for me.” Admittedly he does not hide it, but said he does not go out of his way to make it about himself.

White began volunteering with BetterALife, a local non-profit, at the beginning of 2021. Created to ensure no child goes hungry, the group distributes breakfast and lunch packages every month at a low-income apartment complex in Purcellville. They also go to schools and door to door making a personal impact and connection, distributing food to children in need.

White enjoys being present, through BetterALife, at the food distributions and understands how difficult it must be for the adults.

Elizabeth Ford, president of BetterALife, describes White as an “amazing man.”

“His heart is gold,” Ford said.

“When they smile, and they see their kids are getting something out of it I hope it lessens some of the insecurities and embarrassment that might come from that.”

White’s costume, he said, is a way to get people to ask questions, but also to show the kids how important they are.

“Out of all the time in which superheroes are saving the world and doing their thing, they’re taking the opportunity to spend time

Purcellville’s personal Captain America can be seen handing out smiles all while bringing awareness to important non-profit organizations. with them. I’m just using this opportunity to bring a very specific message.”

Captain America is also a very idealistic character in the way he approaches things, White said. He is always in costume when he goes out and makes it a point to leave the mask on until he is clear from the area. His whole costume is custom made and specifically fitted for him. There are only a couple companies that make the “movie quality” suits of which he has a couple, and everything he does is out of pocket cost.

“I will be doing this as long as I can ensure that when those kids see me, they see Captain America.

Plus, it’s fun,” said White.

At the end of the day the thing that keeps him going is the smiles he sees.

“To know that my engagement had an impact; that is very important to me,” he said.

“He just wants to bring hope to children,” Ford said. There’s no other purpose.”

“If people can take an opportunity and see something that’s a little bit better maybe, they’ll see a little bit more of what’s better,” White said. “That is something I needed, and superheroes were there to give me that.”

Auburn Farm Sunflower Patch in Brandy Station held the second weekend of its second annual sunflower festival on Sept. 11-12.

Farmer Joey Gray, who has been farming the land for about four years, usually grows soybeans but started to grow sunflowers last year during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. Visitors get to pick their own sunflowers, walk through a corn maze and play games. The farm intends to host possibly its final weekend of the festival from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Sept. 18-19. Admission is $10 and kids 5 and under are free. Gray’s mom, Alice Fox, poses in front of the Auburn Farm house in Brandy Station.
