Rotary Club honors vets with flags, ceremony

By Maria Basileo CULPEPER TIMES

Over 100 American flags flew in the wind as a small crowd watched, remembered and honored those who have served in the Armed Force during the Culpeper Rotary Club’s inaugural Flag for Heroes event on Nov. 9.

“Flags for Heroes is about recognizing our heroes in a personal and moving way,” said Rotary Club President-elect Tripp Butler. “It’s about being an American and standing proudly behind the heroes that make this the best country on the planet.”

Attendees were welcomed to the event, which was hosted at The Culpeper off of James Madison Highway, with a flyover by eight planes. Attendees waved and awed at the sight and gasped as the final two planes did flips as they disappeared over the treeline.

Director of Marketing for The Culpeper Rose Wallace told a story about a young man born in 1919 who followed in brothers in service to be a medic.

While on furlough, he met his wife and they decided to marry.

In his luck, the war ended soon after they wed.

When the story concluded, Wallace pointed to a gentleman in the front row as the man from the story.

James “Jim” Mallory, 102, stood for a standing ovation from the crowd.

The event’s keynote speaker, retired Colonel Dave Hall, strived to inspire citizens to think about veterans more often than just on Veterans Day. The event concluded with the reading of the names that represented each flag carried out by Butler and Wallace Rose.

Rotary Club President-elect Tripp Butler speaks to a crowd about the importance of Veterans Day on Nov. 9 at The Culpeper.

Attendees also had an opportunity to walk among the flags.

Flags will be on display until Nov. 15.

“I think it’s just a wonderful tribute to those that have come before us and those that are with us that are heroes in our daily lives and make this country what it is,” Butler said. maria@culpepertimes.com

Small business owner writes comedy memoir

By Maria Basileo CULPEPER TIMES

When not pumping iron, small business owner Mike Duby found time to time to sit down at his computer to reflect and compile stories from his life for his future reader’s amusement.

Although owning Applied Science Fitness Studio on East Culpeper Street has been a full-time job, Duby has spent the last 14 months writing a comedy-filled memoir entitled, “The Unexpected New Best Friend.”

The book, a collection of vignettes in story form, tells the stories of Duby’s life - with little exaggeration - from the bellyaching funny to things he wouldn’t wish on his worst enemy.

A theme of the book, he said, is “If there’s a broken one on the shelf, I will end up with it.”

“That’s a sad commentary on life, but it can also be really funny,” Duby said.

In living that sentiment, recently Duby traveled 30 minutes to a hardware store for four bolts. After returning home, he realized three of the bolts were the wrong size.

After returning to the store for an

“I said, ‘I‘m angry now, but I won’t be in 10 minutes because I’m just writing a book about this,’” Duby remembers. “Right now, I’m writing a book.”

He expects it to be available for

purchase in March.

Initially, Duby intended to write the book for his children and grandchildren.

“That was the motivation,” he said.

“I started writing and the more I wrote the funnier it got,” he continued. “These things that we think

are tragedies in our lives sometimes remain tragies and other times they just turn into something that wasn’t funny at the time but now is.

Exceptionally funny.”

Throughout the writing process, Duby has asked his publisher, editors and even family to be honest with him about whether they think the book would be receptive to readers.

He related the experience to singers featured on American Idol who explain their friends tell them they can sign but, when performing in front of the judges, are not up to Hollywood’s standards.

“I don’t want to be that guy,” he said. “If it sucks, I want you to tell me it sucks.”

Duby remembered reading the first vignette to his son, Tobin.

“When I stopped reading, there was this long pause,” Duby remembers. “I said, ‘Well. What do you think?’” He said, ‘Dad, you had me at the opening line.’”

“That meant the world to me.”

Last week, Duby said, his editor told him the book was done.

ia, Civil War Trails and The Piedmont Environmental Council.

Beyond honoring the three soldiers, the site includes interpretive panels; one honoring USCTs, another honoring Madden’s Tavern, which can be seen from the site, CULPEPER TIMES and Ebenezer Baptist Church. Both institutions were established by a free Black man named Willis Madden.

“It’s easy to think of this dedication as a collection of markers and memorials as simply that,” said John Hennessy, Civil War historian and author. “It is that, of course, but it is far more than that, in fact.”

The site invites a way of thinking of the past in a different way, he continued.

“A change in how we see and understand our past, by not seeing executed by 9th Virginia Cavalry ock Double Dip less of it, as has been our want in troops 300 yards away on May 8, onanza the past, but by seeing more of our 1864. ® .00 Sq.

Brewery hosts recipients of crowd-funded K9 ballistic vests

By Maria Basileo CULPEPER TIMES

Dog-oriented micro-brewery Beer Hound Brewery hosted some special guests on Nov. 5, who not only work to be man’s best friend, but as a partner to Culpeper’s first responders.

In April, Beer Hound sought to name a recently tapped Belgian-style beer. As with the rest of their beers, they are named after famous and not-so-famous hounds in movies, history, and cherished furry customers.

Regulars of the brewery Audra and Bobby Ovalle of Fauquier came up with the name Vader after brewery business partner Shirley Ammon approached them for possible names for a new beer.

“Knowing there’s a history behind each of their beers, so we kind of tried to think of something that fit,” Bobby Ovalle said.

Although they had a few names

bouncing around, Bobby Ovalle remembered Vader’s story.

“It just kind of worked,” Audra Ovalle said.

The Ovalles, who have previously helped named beers, settled on Vader after a Virginia State Police K-9 killed in action in 2028 while pursing a murder suspect driving a stolen vehicle in Sussex County.

“From there, this whole thing took off,” Ammon said.

Following the beer’s debut, over $5,000 was raised to provide ballistic vests for seven local K-9s from local law enforcement agencies such as the Culpeper Town Police, Culpeper County Sheriff and Virginia State Police.

“This has just turned out like so much better than anybody could have hoped for,” Audra Ovalle said.

Local lawyer seeks aid in furry friend

By Maria Basileo CULPEPER TIMES

Culpeper Attorney Amanda Johnson has grown accustomed to interacting with judges, but usually they aren’t so cute and cuddly.

Judge, a 14-week-old Golden Retriever, comes to work with Johnson as her right-paw man as he begins to train to become a therapy/service dog for her clients - both in her office and in the courtroom.

“I had envisioned Judge being able to go to the courtroom and help juveniles who are in a courtroom setting and it’s really stressful being able to calm them while they’re testifying while facing the accused,” she said.

After getting him, Johnson started to bring Judge into her private practice in downtown Culpeper every day so he could get used to noises such as knocking, bells, talking and phones ringing. His training will officially begin with K9ology of Warrenton on Nov. 23.

Judge, who came into Johnson’s

“(A therapy/service dog) helps them tell their story more transparently because when anyone is under stress it’s pretty hard to think clearly. In my experience, when people see a puppy or a gentle giant, you can’t help but let your guard down and forget your troubles even just momentarily.”

Amanda Johnson Culpeper attorney life when he was 8 weeks old, comes from dog royalty by way of his grandfather, Daniel the golden, who won the sporting group at the 144th Annual Westminster Dog Show at Madison Square Garden in February 2020.

“He has the genetics that make him have an even temperament.”

Judge is a playful puppy who greets guests at the door of the office before returning to his post under Johnson’s desk with his bed and chew toys.

Johnson hopes to have Judge trained in 10 months and comforting those in need soon after.

Speaking with prosecutors and police officers during investigations, Johnson said, can be stressful to some - especially children. “(A therapy/service dog) helps them tell their story more transparently because when anyones under stress it’s pretty hard to think clearly,” Johnson said.

“In my experience, when people see a puppy or a gentle giant,” she continued. “You can’t help but let your guard down and forget your troubles even just momentarily.”

Johnson hopes to blaze a trail with the introduction of Judge in the courtroom.

“The courtroom is a very serious setting,” Johnson said, adding even wearing bright colors is frowned upon. “We certainly don’t want a dog detracting from the allegations.”

“I’ve never seen any dogs in the courtroom and I think that’s part of the problem,” she continued. “There’s a huge opportunity to assist a lot of people in a way that humans and you and I can’t.”

Beyond the courthouse, Johnson hopes Judge will be able to visit schools, assisted care facilities, hospitals and doctor’s offices. maria@culpepertimes.com

H E A LT H Concussions are a lot trickier than you might think ➤ Why “playing through” a concussion is a bad idea Elisa Kucia, MD, a neurosurgeon with UVA Orthopedics, a department of UVA Culpeper Medical Center, often deals with misconceptions about concussions among athletes and weekend Warriors.

Here are six key points to keep in mind.

1. YOU DON’T HAVE TO LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS TO HAVE A CONCUSSION.

Most concussions occur without getting knocked out. What’simportant is to identify symptoms.

Many athletes will look dazed or confused immediately following an injury,” Kucia said. “Sometimes it may seem like they don’t remember what to do on the field.”

2. CONCUSSIONS CAN PRESENT IN DIFFERENT WAYS.

Some concussions predominantly

lead to frequent headaches with nausea while others lead to balance problems, dizziness and blurred vision. Another presentation can involve Elisa psychological Kucia, MD or emotional symptoms with irritability, sadness and anxiety. Confusion and difficulty concentrating are common as is sleep disruption. It is important to be evaluated by a medical professional so that different symptoms can be managed appropriately with referral to a specialist if needed.

3. YOU DON’T NEED IMAGING TO DIAGNOSE A CONCUSSION.

“Many athletes will have been seen in the emergency room prior to coming to their doctor’s office and are disappointed that they did not have

a CT scan performed,” Kucia said.

“However, a concussion does not show up on a CT scan or MRI. It is a clinical diagnosis. A CT scan is used to rule out other serious injuries like skull fractures or brain bleeds.”

you’ve got to be tough and shake off a big blow. That should never apply to concussions. If you haven’t fully recovered from a concussion and you receive a second one, the repercussions can be serious.

4. HELMETS DON’T PREVENT CONCUSSIONS.

KUCIA’S ADVICE TO YOUNG PEOPLE AND PARENTS

Yes, they’re vital, but don’t let helmets lull you into a sense of invincibility. The brain, despite being encased in a protective helmet, can be concussed from a blow to the head or violent shaking of the head or body.

To young athletes: “It’s really important that you pay attention to your own symptoms. Your coach can’t watch everyone all the time. The athletic trainer can’t watch everyone.

If you hit your head on another player, the ground, equipment, etc., and feel like you may have a concussion, you should remove yourself from the practice or game and let a coach or athletic trainer know.”

To parents: “If you see symptoms and think your child may have a concussion, seek out an athletic trainer or another person qualified to diagnose concussions. Call your

5. CONCUSSIONS AREN’T LIMITED TO FOOTBALL.

Athletes suffer concussions in every sport. Concussions can occur anywhere, from an automobile accident to a school recess mishap to a simple misstep and fall during routine activities.

6. YOU CAN’T “PLAY THROUGH” A CONCUSSION.

There’s a common culture that

➤ Vests, from Page 5 Culpeper Division Trooper Adam Waybright explained Division Two was still short three vests for their explosives dogs.

As fate would have it, Dr. Nancy Yoytosh of The Xerox Voytosh Armor Fund of Purcellville appeared with her checkbook after driving an hour and a half to be there.

A veterinarian for horses, Yoytosh told Waybright that although she had just come down to donate some money, she had heard they needed three vests.

“So there’s three that need them?” she asked, adding she had already donated two vests to the department via Waybright. “They will have them today.”

After consulting with Waybright, Yoytosh sat on the curb and wrote the department a check for $2,550.

Named after her late Rottweiler, Xerox, Yoytish started the fund to collect donations to purchase bulletproof vests for military canines.

As a part of the celebration, two of the seven canine recipients and their partners to show off their new gear.

Sig, an 18-month-old Dutch shepherd, rides with his partner VSP Harrisonburg Trooper Eric Todd and works as a narcotics dog.

“He sleeps with me every day,” Todd said. “He does everything I do.

Goes to work with me everyday. He eats. I eat.”

Hawk, a Belgian Malinois, and his partner VSP Senior Trooper Michael Gremillion also attended.

Hawk and Gremillion work on patrol.

“With him being a patrol apprehension type dog, he needs it because we’re always encountering someone that’s running from a scene or we’re doing building searches with possibly armed suspects,” Gremillion said.

“The vest gives him the protection that he needs in order to help him survive an attack if it happens,” he continued.

Todd, who has had Sig since June, also demonstrated how the pair work together to sniff out illicit drugs hidden in vehicles. Officers placed a pseudo - an object that smells like illicit drugs - in one of their cars for Sig to sniff out. Once Todd began to walk him around the car, Sig smelled the doors and tires before stopping abruptly and sitting down exactly where the pseudo was placed. After a moment. Waybright threw a toy for Sig to give him a toy.

“That’s his paycheck,” Waybright said. “That’s all he’s working for.” maria@culpepertimes.com

The Fall 2021 issue of GI Jobs magazine lists Germanna Community College as one of four Virginia community colleges to earn its Military Friendly School rating.

“As the daughter of Army veterans, I understand the pride, commitment and sacrifice involved in serving our country,” said GCC Vice President of Student Services Tiffany Ray. “Germanna is committed to supporting veteran students and the families of active duty military personnel.”

William Steele, a Wounded Warrior who lost a leg and suffered brain trauma in Afghanistan and studied business administration at GCC, said of taking classes at Germanna: “The teachers are wonderful. When I needed extra time, they saw to my needs. And the Veterans Center was amazing.”

Over 1,200 schools participated in GI Job’s 2021-2022 survey, with 747 earning the designation. A total of 142 community colleges nationwide earned the Military Friendly rating.

The others are Piedmont Virginia Community College, Central

William Steele Virginia Community College and J. Sargeant Community College.

PVCC, based in Charlottesville, earned a Top Ten designation. There are 23 schools in the Virginia Community College System.

Final ratings were determined by combining the institution’s survey response set and government/agency public data sources, within a logic based scoring assessment. Viqtory Media, the magazine’s publisher, measures the institution’s ability to meet thresholds for student Retention, graduation, job placement, loan repayment, persistence (degree advancement or transfer) and loan default rates for all students and, specifically, for student veterans.

Local brewery thanks vets with beer

By Maria Basileo

DAV Chapter President Will King approached the brewery to participate in the cause which invites Beer Hound customers to buy a vet a beer. When they do, they fill out a card to hang on the wall. Several people have also chosen to write inspiring messages on them.

As of Tuesday, the brewery had sold 42 “vet” beers.

“I like to think of it as paying it forward or paying it back either

CULPEPER TIMES

As a veteran-owned business, Beer Hound Brewery knows how much Veterans Day means to local servicemembers, so much so, they partnered with a local chapter of Disabled American Veterans to give back.

“The response to the DAV ‘Buy a Vet a Beer’ has been more than we expected,” said Shirley Ammon, partner at Beer Hound Brewery.

way, and we hope they are all redeemed this weekend,” Ammon said. “The remaining money we collected from the unclaimed beers will be donated to the DAV to help fund their programs.

In addition, $1 of the sale of these beers will be donated to the DAV General Washington Chapter 7, based in Fredericksburg, to help homeless vets and veterans services.

Veterans Day weekend - Nov. 11-

14 - veterans can come in and can get one of these cards to redeem for any beer at the brewery.

“I’m a retired Army Veteran and this was a great way the DAV came up with to give back to my fellow service members,” Ammon said.

The local DAV chapter will also have dinner at Grill 309 on Veterans Day to take a final count and celebrate veterans. maria@culpepertimes.com

Looking forward: Recently elected politicians set goals for term

By Maria Basileo CULPEPER TIMES

Following a challenging campaign season where visions of old versus new Culpeper went head to head, the victors of Election Day 2021 look forward towards their term and how to best represent their constituents.

MAYOR

Just after 8:40 p.m. on Nov. 2, Frank Reaves Jr. defeated Jon Russell for the role of Culpeper’s next mayor with 2,755 votes compared to Russell’s 2,374 - a difference of 381.

Reaves, who currently serves on Culpeper Town Council, said he has “several” main goals following being sworn into office in January “One of my main priorities is for the council and I to get on the same page,” he said. “It is very important to me that the council and I have a great working relationship and that we are able to work together for the betterment and enrichment of the

entire town. We may not all agree all of the time but we should be able to communicate that in a safe, courteous and respectful manner.”

His second priority lies in a topic that steered many conversations prior to election day: the quality of Culpeper’s water.

“Recently, a bipartisan infrastructure bill was passed that could help a great deal with our water issues within the town,” Reaves said.

“I have already begun to make inquiries with Abigail Spanberger’s office as to what this could mean and how this bill can help our town in the future.”

Opening a community pool and addressing affordable housing options for residents and the homeless, Reaves said, also rank highest amongst his priorities.

“I would like to sit down and talk with landlords in the town and ask some to step up and update some of the locations that are rented out that have mold and are having issues,” he said. “The tenants need to

have their locations livable for their families. This would also help the tenants in the future when wanting to rent to other people. No one will rent from locations that are less than livable.”

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.

Reaves replaces Mayor Michael Olinger who announced earlier this year he would not seek reelection.

TOWN COUNCIL

With a whopping 10 person ticket, candidates vying a seat on Culpeper Twin Council came down to the top four vote getters.

Top vote-getter N. Janie Schmidt, who received 2,170 votes, said her first priorities are water quality, infrastructure improvements and homelessness.

“With winter quickly approaching, finding solutions for providing

emergency shelter and support services in the short term and more permanent solutions for (the) long term is paramount,” she said.

“There will be further research and a plan developed for affordable housing and the possibility of a tiny home village for the near future.”

Schmidt’s long term goals include strengthening Culpeper’s economy, promoting activities and new venues for kids and families and eliminating personal property taxation.

“With inflation on the rise and the higher cost of living, our burdened citizens would benefit from the elimination of the current double taxation on the same personal property taxed by the county,” she said.

Incumbent Billy Yowell tallied the second highest number of votes with 2,164. His priorities lie in formulating and executing a budget that best fits the needs of constit➤See Goals, Page 15

Reported sexual harassment at Culpeper High School results in house arrest

By Maria Basileo CULPEPER TIMES

A Culpeper County High School student entered house arrest last week while legal proceedings continue following the alleged sexual harassment of a female classmate.

According to a post on the Culpeper County Sheriff ’s Office Facebook page, CCPS school administrators reported they had received a report of an alleged aggravated sexual battery of a 14-year-old female by a 15-yearold male.

The female student reported the male had been pressuring her for sex and touched her inappro-

“The school’s investigation into the incident is ongoing. The school is working closely with law enforcement to allow the legal process to take precedent while concurrently ensuring the proper school response.”

CCPS priately repeatedly. After telling him to stop repeatedly as well as trying to stop him, he placed an open pocket knife on her thigh and said, “You know what I can do.”

As a result of the office’s investigation, petitions for possession of a weapon on school property, abduction and sexual battery

were issued.

Following a detention hearing, the male student was taken into custody and taken before a Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court judge, who released him to house arrest while the legal proceedings continue.

On Nov. 6, CCPS provided a press release addressing the in-

cident.

“The school’s investigation into the incident is ongoing,” it read. “The school is working closely with law enforcement to allow the legal process to take precedent while concurrently ensuring the proper school response.”

“We are grateful for the courage and citizenship of the student who reported this incident; as well as the collaboration and swift response from our law enforcement partners.”

This was the first report of such an incident, the release continued. maria@culpepertimes.com

➤ Goals, from Page 13 uents.

“The agenda, as far as I’m concerned, has always been a fiduciary responsibility to our voters and that has to do with our budget and how we spend the tax dollars,” he said.

“The whole is predicated on what we do with the budget.”

“That basically gives a roadmap of what we can and cannot do moneywise.”

Although lowering taxes is at the forefront in the minds of some, Yowell said in order for that to happen, the town must replace the lost revenue from the lowered taxes or cut services.

Yowell looks forward to the prospect of opening a community pool, but sees a site relocation to the recreation center spearheaded by the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors as more beneficial.

As far as looking ahead, Yowell said this is the first time in his long tenure there have been so many new faces on the town council. He looks forward to their ideas and working alongside them as they learn the inner workings of Culpeper’s government.Joe Short placed third in overall votes with 1,908.

“The existing, elected, and soonto-be appointed members will form an effective council that will focus on the priorities of our town,” he said. “We each have our individual strengths and areas of emphasis, but I believe the council members and mayor will work together to give a voice to citizens and accomplish our agenda. I look forward to joining the team!”

Some of Short’s priorities include

water quality, homelessness, decreasing property tax burdens and expanding the police department’s co-responder program. “(Culpeper Police Department), in a joint program with Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services, has established one of the area’s first co-responder programs with dramatically successful results,” he said. “I will always prioritize CPD’s budget and will request the council to support the expansion of this critical service.”

B. Travis Brown came in fourth with 1,714 total votes. His priorities coincide with his fellow successful candidates: lowering taxes, water quality and infrastructure.

“I intend to introduce a motion to offset these tax revenues with an increase in the cigarette tax, which the state now allows to be set up to 40 cents (per) pack,” he said. “I intend for this tax break not to extend to national chains/big box stores or businesses owned by out of state residents.

“I want to ensure that Culpeper is (a) town where local entrepreneurs and small businesses come first.”

Brown said he also intends to spark a study on the effects of pollution and algae blooms in Lake Pelham in relation to Culpeper’s water supply.

Incumbent Pranas Rimeikis lost his seat after coming in fifth place overall. He lost out to Brown for the fourth spot by 77 votes.

The classroom is sacred and I would invite you all if I could Fifteen years ago I shared with my dean an experience I had had earlier that day, when a student, who I thought didn’t care for my course, impressed his peers with his stunning interpretation of an Emily Dickinson poem. My dean, who began his career in education after retiring from the Army, smiled. “The classroom is such a sacred space,” he said.

I have never forgotten that sentiment. From the classes I taught at Coffeewood Correctional Center in Mitchells, Virginia to teaching writing workshops over Zoom, the sanctity of the classroom sits at the core of my practice. No matter where the classroom happens to be, I try to make it a place where students can tune out the noise, focus on a question, probe a text, and explore ideas without fear or trepidation. Only then will students have a chance at the “Aha!” moment, when I see a spark in their eyes as they become as excited about learning as I am. That moment is magical. It’s sacred.

In recent months, the classroom has become the latest front in the

I don’t think I have ever changed the mind or the belief system of any student, but I have had plenty of students ask tough questions and display the courage to consider other points of view, usually voiced by one of their peers. I find that students value being challenged.

Cory MacLauchlin unending culture wars. Why would a teacher choose this book or that lesson? Why are teachers exposing students to this idea or that idea? Most seasoned educators I know have grown accustomed to this scrutiny. After all, if we had a patron saint, it would be Socrates, who was put to death for

showing his students how to discern truth, or as the Athenian court phrased it, “corrupting the youth.” Jesus met a similar end, for similar offenses.

It is true that schools are talking about equity, equality, racial and gender disparities. We are also talking about freedom, justice, opportunity and safety. In these discussions at Germanna, we have prioritized bringing all voices to the table. But once I enter the classroom, I am primarily focused on a single objective: how to guide students to discern truth through questioning and research—a truth that may challenge what we believe. The teacher is not an oracle of truth, but merely a guide, providing an environment for this work. The teacher BACKED BY A YEAR-ROUND

is a steward to learning.

I wish anyone reading this could know the feeling of seeing the flash of inspiration in a student’s eyes.

This isn’t some abstract notion of an aging academic. I have seen this spark empower a student who felt unworthy of college, and after weeks of research and writing, eloquently and respectfully make her case to the school board for a change in transportation policy. I saw the power of this moment in the community college sonography student who guided the ultrasound transducer over my wife’s belly to show us the first glimpse of our son. I saw it in the oil-stained hands of the automotive technician graduate who successfully diagnosed an engine problem that three other mechanics couldn’t determine. And yes, it is also in that moment, when a student dares to render the dark horrors of our history with our most brilliant victories.

The sacredness of the classroom is essential to society. Socrates was willing to die for it. And to be honest, far too many teachers and students over the last twenty years have been killed for merely being in a classroom.

But that is a conversation, so I am told, for another time. Although, I must admit, I wish our society took such passionate interest in the classroom when political power was not at stake.

If Germanna had one of those grand lecture halls you see at Ivy League universities, I would invite everyone to join my class, because I know that each of you has much to teach me. I also suspect what you have heard about the classroom—especially in an English or history course—is likely quite different from what actually happens. I don’t think I have ever changed the mind or the belief system of any student, but I have had plenty of students ask tough questions and display the courage to consider other points of view, usually voiced by one of their peers. I find that students value being challenged. In the end, they value learning. And I believe that it is worth protecting, because it’s sacred.

Dealing with hairball season, and accepting the life of an indoor cat It’s hairball season again.

Hairballs, of course, are ho-hum to cats but stomach turners to humans.

But I decided back in my kittenhood that cleanliness is a virtue, and if licking myself clean from ear to paw produced hairballs, so be it. If my Widow chose to gag over hair balls, that was her problem. I stated my case. Then she stated hers…which was no hairballs, no matter what.

A mutual friend suggested we compromise by getting a FURminator, which is a fancy stainless steel comb that gets rid of shedding hair. Probably designed by a hairball-gagging human, I thought, but at least not bittertasting medicine.

Nevertheless, Rule 42 in the Cat Manual says, “Never try a new thing…without an okay from some feline older and wiser.”

So I texted Precious, my Indiana cousin.

Behold! She not only knew about the FURminator, but had tons of experience with it.

She said it was better than a fancy massage at a pricey cat salon. Since Precious was not only my cousin, but also the Senior Cat Advisor to The World At Large, I decided to try this new thing.

I loved it! I even roll from side to side to get a full treatment. And if my Widow forgets to FURminate me as often as I think necessary, I do enough extra licking to produce a hairball, a small one, to remind her of what’s what.

Sadly, Precious has now gone over the Rainbow Bridge. I miss her, but shall always be grateful for her FURminator advice.

CALLY TALES Cally

BEING AN INSIDE CAT

Early on it was decided I would be an “inside cat.” I had no vote in

the matter.

When I lived in New Hampshire there were fisher cats in the neighborhood. There were also young bears roaming about, and sometimes the night-time cry of a coyote. It’s almost the same in rural Virginia. My Widow keeps reminding me the “gotta-ya” night light doesn’t come on for nothing.

She also reminded me that a neighbor lost her “indoor-outdoor cat” and spent days wandering about calling “Kitty, Kitty, Kitty” with absolutely no reply. Case closed.

Outdoor life is too risky, she said.

I was lucky to be rescued from the wet weeds beside the busy road where I was dumped as a one-pound kitten. Why push my luck? Okay, Okay. I give in. I’ll be an inside cat.

BECOMING A FAT CAT

Now you know how I became a fat cat. I did it the usual way – eating too much and exercising too little. Early on my Widow bought into the myth that she couldn’t overfeed me. After all, I was not a dog. I was a cat and would only eat when I was hungry. Not so. I eat when I’m bored – which is most of the time.

In my new house, I don’t have stairs to descend to chase mice in the basement. I don’t have stairs to climb to lay on soft, warm beds.

Everything is on one floor, and there is little adventure. The thrill of the day is spotting a spider or some such moving creature. Then I can pounce on and “exterminate” the foreigner, as we delicately put it in the cat business.

My other option is the tail chase.

Or I can pretend to be a race car and go from zero to 200 from one room to another. Or I can do sculptures in the litter box.

But then I’m into my thirteenth year and napping has also become an activity of great interest.

Until next time, Purrfectly yours, Cally
