LOCAL NEWS La Bee da Loca to sell Original Red Clay shirts

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer ty.

Soon you’ll be able to wear a piece of Culpeper Coun-

Felecia Chavez, owner of La Bee da Loca in downtown Culpeper, will soon be offering the Original Red Clay T-shirts made by the Virginia T-Shirt Company, based in Hartwood.

The company will take red clay from Culpeper County and make it into a slurry, which they will use to dye their T-shirts and then sell them through La Bee da Loca. Chavez jumped at the chance to partner with the company.

“They were looking for a distributor,” Chavez said.

“They decided to check me out and we started talking.

The more we talked, the more I got excited. I’m looking at it from the viewpoint of how we talk about the bees and how important they are to Mother Earth. For them to go ahead and use local red clay, it’s just like a cherry on the top. You can’t get any more earthy than that.”

The shirts aren’t in the shop yet, as they are still in the process of making them. Chavez hopes that she will be able to be present when the first Culpeper shirts are being processed.

“I said I would really like to be there when they do

the first slurry for Culpeper because I believe in what they are doing,” Chavez said.

The shirts, made by Rusty Pearson and Adam Conrath - owners of the Virginia T-Shirt Company, soak, agitate and spin in the washing machine long enough for the iron oxide in the clay to permanently stain them a rusty red, a process that can take three to five hours.

Then they’re washed twice more in progressively cleaner water, dried and stamped with the Virginia Original Red Clay Apparel logo that Conrath designed.

The natural terra cotta color of the clay comes through in the shirts, which have a distressed look. Chavez pointed out that each shirt may look different due to the natural hue of the red clay, making them unique.

She said that customers have already started making pre orders for the shirts, which will be available in small through double extra large and in different variations - long-sleeve, short-sleeve and hoodies. She also hopes to offer totes.

La Bee da Loca is located at 236 E. Davis Street and Chavez can be reached at (703) 9752966 for pre orders.

COMMUNITY NEWS

Electronic campaign finance reporting class offered Feb. 4 The Culpeper County Voter Registration and Election Office is excited to offer local candidates a training opportunity to make campaign finance reporting easier in 2019. The training will be held on Feb. 4 from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in the Culpeper County Library Conference Room.

A representative from the Virginia Department of Elections (ELECT) will be onsite to introduce candidates to the Committee Electronic Tracking System (COMET) and to answer any questions.

“The training will be more ‘openhouse’ style,” said James Clements, Culpeper County General Registrar and Director of Elections. “We’re inviting candidates to drop by and get the information and answers they need without sitting through a 90-minute session.”

There is no cost for using COMET. The software allows committees to easily submit their expenses, receipts, loans and debt information for quick and easy report filing with the click of just a few buttons.

“The COMET system makes it easier for candidates to keep track of contributions and expenses and simplifies the filing process,” Clements said. “They can file reports from anywhere instead of having to hand deliver them to our office.”

The training is open to candidates from Culpeper and all neighboring localities.

Space is limited, RSVP is required by email to registrar@culpepercounty. gov by Friday, Feb. 1. The Culpeper County Library is located at 271 Southgate Shopping Center in the town of Culpeper.

“RSVPs are required because of room capacity and to ensure each individual can have their questions answered,” Clements said. “If demand exceeds capacity, we will split up the time and work with candidates to schedule

appointment windows for them.”

Online campaign finance reporting is not new to Virginia. State Code requires Statewide and General Assembly candidates file online reports as well as local candidates from localities with populations greater than 70,000 (Culpeper County’s population is just over 50,000). Several local Culpeper candidates already use the system including School Board Member Marshall Keene and Supervisor Brad Rosenberger.

Local candidates for the four Constitutional Offices (Commissioner of the Revenue, Commonwealth’s Attorney, Sheriff and Treasurer), the Board of Supervisors, and the School Board are required to file campaign finance reports. There is no campaign finance reporting requirement for candidates for Culpeper Town Council or for Soil and Water Conservation District Director.

If you’re under 21, you can’t drink alcohol. If you’re under 18, you can’t buy cigarettes. If you’re under 18, you can’t get a tattoo without the consent of a parent. All of the laws listed above were put into place because people think that teenagers are not responsible enough to make these decisions on their own, yet they assume that teenagers are responsible enough to make decisions that affect the rest of their life at 16, such as choosing to go to college or deciding on a career. When colleges and employers are making decisions about hiring vs not hiring or admitting a student vs. not admitting a student they need to keep in mind that these students are only 17 and 18 years old. When you are a teenager you are still growing and learning.

Teenagers are going to make mistakes but their ability to learn from their mistakes is the important part.

Museum of Culpeper History unveils new exhibits ➤ Washington's bicentennial celebration, paintings of Civil War photographs highlight offerings

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer The Museum of Culpeper History unveiled five new exhibits Friday evening during a members only event.

The new exhibits officially opened to the public Saturday afternoon and will be displayed at the Museum through December.

Morgan Pierce, Executive director Museum of Culpeper History,

gave guests a guided tour through the new exhibits - highlighting Culpeper’s impact on historic events and the county’s recollection of them.

One of the main exhibits is the continued focus on artists of Culpeper, with artwork by Mary Allen being presented for the first six months of the year before a new artist is unveiled for the second half of the year.

“As far as a theme, we’re all across the board in different topics and ideas that we have been thinking about,” Pierce said. “For us at the museum, it’s been 12-15 months thinking about and talking to people outside of the museum.”

Moving further into the museum is an exhibit commemorating the the George Washington bicentennial of 1932.

“During the depression there was a lot of gloom at this time, it was

“We did not want to wait 13 more years to wait on this bicentennial, as with many of our exhibits a number of recent items came to the museum,” Pierce said. “The more we investigated, the more items we were able to locate items from local sources.”

Another exhibit highlights the Crossing at Cow Ford from Aug. 19, 1862 with an artist depiction of the famous photograph by Timothy O’Sullivan.

“This came to fruition because local artist Eleanor Lewis recently completed this oil painting which is an exact copy of one of the most famous Civil War photographs that has been widely published,” Pierce said.

An exhibit featuring the work the Museum of Culpeper History has done with local historian Zann Nelson highlights the injustice of lynching in Culpeper, featuring three local men - William Thompson, William Grayson and Allie Thompson and Culpeper’s efforts to acknowledge lynchings throughout the state.

“It’s certainly a difficult exhibit content wise, but also I want this to be a lasting story where visitors

to the museum (can see it),” Pierce said.

House Joint Resolution No. 655, acknowledging with profound regret the existence and acceptance of lynching within in the Commonwealth of Virginia, was crafted by the Virginia Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Commission.

“What is Culpeper doing in response to this?” Pierce said. “(It shows) what Culpeper is doing to remember, to commemorate and to acknowledge.”

The final exhibit is a feature on the “Greens of Greenwood,” acknowledging late Culpeper residents Angus and Newt Green.

“We wanted to honor her and her husband because of their long contributions to Culpeper and especially to the museum and the Culpeper historical societies,” Pierce said.

“Their efforts to restore and buy back Greenwood to the Green family.”

The exhibit tells the love story of Angus and Newt in Culpeper in the 1930s, highlighted by Newt’s wedding portrait and dress.

“We believe it (the wedding dress) hasn’t been unboxed in 70 years,” Pierce said.

The Museum of Culpeper History, located at 113 S. Commerce St. in the Depot, is open Monday through Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and on Sundays from 1 to 5 p.m.

It was a shock when Lynn Nelson was diagnosed with breast cancer in April 2018 easily the shock of her life.

But if she had to choose the second shock of her life, it may have been Saturday night when her friends surprised her with a “celebration of life” party, commemorating her cancer going into remission.

Nelson, a former elementary school teacher in Culpeper County and Stafford, threw her hands to her mouth when she realized that the party hosted in the pub of Grassrootes was in her honor.

Organized by longtime friends Gloria Cooper, Karen Quantance, Pam Stewart and Jewell Duvall - ladies she has volunteered with at the Museum of Culpeper History the party included more than 50 people from Nelson’s life that came out to congratulate her and shower her with love.

Told it was a surprise party for Stewart’s birthday, Nelson walked in yelling “surprise,”

only to have the tables turned on her as her granddaughters excitedly greeted her at the door.

“I had no idea,” Nelson said. “I’m not feeling 100 percent today, I just said to my husband ‘I don’t really know if I should go,’ and I asked if he would go without me. He said I think you should put into an appearance. I’m just so shocked.”

Nelson’s faith remained strong throughout her ordeal. She has presented her experience at Pamper Me Pink and at Culpeper United Methodist Church, spreading the message that you can find joy in life - no matter your circumstance.

“The thing that is so amazing about all of this, if we look at the gift embedded in every journey in life, even if when you journey includes cancer, when you look at the positive outcomes, the outpouring of friendship, the strengthening of faith, the close ties of family and friends - it just all becomes worthy of a celebration,” Nelson said. “I never expected this. I feel so unworthy and humbled by everything.”

Quantance said watching Nelson handle her cancer diagnosis was inspirational.

“Watching her go through what she went ➤ See Nelson, Page 7

➤ Nelson, from Page 6 through with the attitude she had, it was amazing,” Quantance said. “I couldn’t do that.”

Quantance broke down in tears, recalling that she had a cancer scare right before Nelson’s diagnosis.

“I kept thinking I could talk to her and help her, it didn’t work that way, it was the other way around,” Quantance said, wiping away the tears.

She stressed that her experience and Nelson’s proves why everyone in the community should have a mammogram done - something that can be funded through the Pamper Me Pink foundation if a resident cannot afford one.

“My experience was, they found mine because it was the first time I had a 3D one,” Quantance said. “It turns out it was something I had all my life and it just showed up.”

Duvall said that Nelson’s faith is something everyone should strive to emulate.

“She is so courageous and graceful and inspirational,” Duvall said.

Cooper helped Nelson throughout her journey, often providing supportive messages or dropping off pink balloons at her house.

When she found out that Nelson was not going to be able to have a party to celebrate, she quickly organized the group of friends to make it happen.

“What inspired this party, her and her husband Daryl were driving somewhere in town and a car hit them,” Cooper said. “She called me and said ‘Gloria I have the grandkids with me, I was at the museum, I need you to pick them up.’ Then she said to me three or four days later that she was going to have a party when she got released and she goes ‘we had to take that money and buy a new car.’ I thought OK, I don’t know how we’re going to do this but we’re going to do a party.”

The women got addresses and ideas of who to invite through Daryl - who was in on the whole party - and told Nelson it was for Stewart’s birthday. Stewart said she was proud to serve as the red herring.

“She was always helping with the exhibits, she was my right hand man at museum preps,” Stewart said. “She’s just lovely. She is such a humble person, it was never why me,

it was just ‘this is what I have and what I have to deal with.’”

Nelson cried tears of joy throughout the evening. Her sister surprised her with a visit, her longtime friend from West Virginia made the trip to Culpeper and her cousin from Maryland stopped by to celebrate.

“You want to make a difference in the world, look at all these people, they are all making a difference in the world,” Nelson said. “I’m so happy right now. There’s a lot of love in the room.”

Her granddaughters - Anna, Lindsey and Claire Brown - helped organize props ahead of time and beamed with pride when their grandmother walked through the doors.

“I think it’s a really big deal because she has gone through so much,” Anna said.

“When doctors looked back at her history, they can’t believe they are in the room with them. I think it’s a big deal for everyone in this room to be here to show how much they supported her.”

All three said her story is inspirational.

“She’s a huge inspiration, I know it’s not genetic but if it happens to anyone else I can have this story to tell people that she went through so much and she made it,” Anna said.

Cancer can be a scary moment for a family - but Nelson’s faith energized them.

“I was really scared that something was going to happen to her, but I knew that she was in God’s hands and this was for a purpose,” Lindsey said. “I’m just really glad it ended up OK. It’s just a happy moment for our family.”

Andrew Ferlazzo, owner of Grassrootes, said he was happy to open up the basement once a Culpeper hotspot - for the party.

“They’re doing more for me than I am for them,” he said. “It’s one of the gifts of being in the business in being in a community like this, being able to give back.”

The party was just another opportunity to show Nelson love her friends said - they had already donated meals, visited in the hospital and brought gifts. This was a time to celebrate the culmination of the journey.

The moment touched Nelson in a way she had never felt before.

“It goes all the way down, it’s not even at the heart level or soul level - it reaches you in the gut,” Nelson said.

HISTORY Sticks and Stones … part three (Editor’s note: Zann Nelson initiated the proposal for the resolution and serves on the King Commission's History of Lynching in Virginia work/ study group.)

Two weeks ago, I began a series concerning differing thoughts regarding the history of lynching in Virginia and a resolution before the 2019 General Assembly “acknowledging with profound regret.” That dialogue continues below.

Referencing the following post on FB. ...new article published Sunday, Jan. 13 by the Culpeper Star Exponent.

This work is exactly what is

ZANN’S PLACE Zann Nelson

meant to be an American and an American that acknowledges the mistakes and aims to get better and better! There are thousands of descendants who have suppressed their pain and fear based on the existence of such horrific realities in their lives and their communities.

Please know that there is a large and growing "support group" that has stepped up and they are waiting to walk with you!! We are together.

Reader 2: …This is a person who has been educated far beyond their intelligence. Clearly a liberal schooled academic and has a deep need to show it. No, I am not dwelling in the past, these people are.

It's a scab on a healing sore or better, old scar tissue (on some), from LONG, LONG, LONG ago.

As an academic you should know from Soc 101 that we cannot judge past actions by today's standards.

Period. And as long as they dwell on

the past they can not look forward.

"Looking backwards, you back into the future blind." as the saying goes.

Not worth wasting more time.

Simply put, this is old news, we are one of the truly least racist nations now in history and the first to outlaw slavery.

Get over it and move on.

Zann: I appreciate your response and your willingness to engage in a dialogue. I found your comments worthy of a reply.

Let’s take your analogy to the picking off a scab. We apparently agree that there exists a scab and if you are using a medical analysis there are other elements to consider.

In most cases, particularly in skin cancer situations when a sore does not heal as in when a scab remains, it is an indication that something else is going on. Are we to assume that your prescription

would be to ignore and hope it will go away on its own? The medical recommendation is to treat the sore, first by determining its source or cause and then by if possible, eradicating the cause so that true healing may occur. Seems like a sound plan.

Your comment about those who “dwell on the distant past rather than the present state of Black affairs and the future” is interesting.

Are they not the same folks who are now seeking acknowledgement and reconciliation for those minorities (Blacks, Native Americans, Jews, Asians, and the Irish just to name a few) who suffered tragedies, discrimination and oppression that are also leading the efforts to today to bring recognition and improvements for the future? How do you feel about #BlackLivesMatter or the #metoo ➤ See Zann, Page 9

➤ Zann, from Page 8 movements?

And to your last comment: “There will be no progress made as the #WalkAway movement says until folks stop being permanent victims.”

I find it thought -provoking that for the most part those that advocate for the get over it/move on/don’t dwell on the past are the descendants of the cultural majority that perpetrated the horrific offenses: offenses that were ignored, overlooked or condoned.

Has nothing changed? I looked at the #walkaway website and am perplexed as it appears to be very political and focused on the 2018 Midterm elections: the walk away was from the Democratic Party. I am not clear that efforts toward owning our history-the good, bad and ugly has anything to do with partisan politics. Are we still of the mindset that the best policy is one of diversion, cover-up and obfuscation?

Where does that lead us? Why are we so afraid to address our past mistakes?

Lastly, though you may not be one who advocates for some type of pure American, White Supremacy, or other such ideology that tends to perpetuate the travesties of the past, however you may be able to shed some light on a few issues/ questions for me or point me to someone else who can.

You suggest that anyone wishing to right a wrong against a past grievance is characterized as a permanent victim. If we do not attempt to correct the known history in all its details are, we not perpetuating our own descended state of the victim that was proliferated at the time as a rationale for lynchings.

Were we as the white community really victims then and are you suggesting that that philosophy should be upheld rather than blown out of the water?

Many of those who advocate for doing nothing, continuing the

Local News

blind eye and deaf ear policies are the same folks who continue to promulgate the cause of the Confederate States of America. You can help me here.

Do these folks think they were victimized by Northern aggression and tell me, are they still carrying the grudge about their loss?

You should know that I am a Southern woman, born and raised with ancestors who fought on both sides of that tragic conflict.

But for my money, that war is truly over, and we are now one nation.

The Confederacy and all its generals have been venerated with books, movies, monuments and more…and yet, the plea not to be forgotten and even with some, the declaration that the “South shall rise again,” reverberates to this day.

Can you help me to understand?

We are speaking of American citizens who were murdered by terrorists in their own homes, acts condoned within their communities by commission or omission while the victims and their families were warned against asking for justice.

If I understand you correctly, we should not be seeking veneration or vindication or even the dissemination of truth as that would imply that we think of ourselves as permanent victims and dwelling in the past.

Have you looked around at the advancement of the population of people that were terrorized? It begs the question: who is truly dwelling on the past.

I am happy to continue a dialogue and you will never find me disrespectful or in denial of your right to an opinion.

Until next week, be well..

'Kleptocracy' The Heart of the Enigma Want to go?

CURTAIN CALLS

Sometimes when I can’t sleep I think of Valarie. He was our Russian guide in the opulence and squalor of St. Petersburg, and through the hallowed, crowded halls of the Hermitage. He was unforgettable as excursion guides go.

Round-bellied, forceful, grim-witted, he talked to us through our headsets in his thickly accented English and told us with the urgency of a man on a mission the problems of Russia.

Uncertainty! People don’t make plans for the future when they can’t trust the future. People don’t invest. People don’t spend money. They’re afraid. He said the KGB could be listening in, and always referred to the country’s leader as “our beloved Putin”. But uncertainty was killing Russia. “Is a problem!” he concluded.

“Our beloved Putin” is the subject of Kenneth Lin’s riveting new play, “Kleptocracy”, at Arena Stage. We in the West may know little more about Russia than the “riddle wrapped in

a mystery inside an enigma” that Churchill once described, but Jackson Gay’s direction lures us into the labyrinth that is the Russian political fever dream.

Those of us who weren’t paying attention when Mikhail Khodorkovsky was released from prison and fled to Switzerland have some catching up to do, for he is central to the story of how Vladimir Putin rose to power.

In the 1990s, after the fall of the Soviet Union, the ambitious young communists who were also smart and daring and no more ethical than the collapsed government made themselves very rich, mostly in oil the Yokos oil company.

Khodorkovsky was one of these, along with many other unpronounceable names, but as this fictionalized version of history correctly shows, he changed. Once one of the richest men in the world, he became a believer in Open Russia and democratic reform. That led to his long

Christopher Geary (Vladimir Putin) and Max Woertendyke (Mikhail Khodorkovsky) in the world premiere of Kleptocracy running January 18 through Feb. 24 at Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater. imprisonment on charges fabricated by a dark, faceless bureaucracy that could rig the charges at will and control the judges’ decisions. In other words, a Kafka nightmare.

And that’s where Christopher Geary begins; playing the impassive Putin, he enters and reads a Russian absurdist poem. Does it make sense?

Will it make more sense the farther down this rabbit hole we go?

Geary, while bearing little resemblance to the Putin we see in newspapers, emits a strange, predator light. He’s ironic, nothing really disturbs him, and it doesn’t take long to realize that this glacially calm former KGB operative is pulling everyone else’s strings.

Opposite in every possible way is Mikhail Khodorkovsky played by Max Woertendyke. A man with his nose to the winds of change, he has forgotten that saying what you really think in Russia is a sign of weakness.

Once imprisoned, his jailers reflect the sentiment of the street. When demonstrations and popular opinion support his release, his keepers are respectful and hope he’ll remember them when he’s back on top. When he is forgotten, things change.

Inna, the wife Mikhail courted when he already had a wife, suggests a clearer vision of how things really are. Bronte England-Nelson begins as the winsome young thing he falls in love with and eventually marries. But as the wife of oligarch-cum-political prisoner, she is not distracted by idealistic notions when survival is at stake.

U.S./Russian relations of the ‘90s are capsulized in Candy Buckley’s strong performance as the White House Official who meets and negotiates with Putin. She’s a tough

Texas cookie, an echo of the Bush administration’s Russian policy, and the names Chevron and Exxon come up frequently in conversation.

A tightly-knit cast of nine switches places as politicians, thugs, and shadow figures. One abrupt prison assassination occurs with a speed that makes knowing the whos and whys impossible – but clarifies the undercurrent of fear. These people aren’t paranoid – someone really IS out to get them.

Technical support for “Kleptocracy” is unified in its virtuosity.

Misha Kachman’s set design accentuates that fear with grey cinderblock, sharp angles, and poisonous colors. Lighting by Masha Tsimring complements the prevailing zeitgeist.

Dim washes reminiscent of subway tunnel lights give way to glaring spots, suggestive of the police state’s ever-watchful eye. And original music and sound design from Broken Chord finesses the line between consciousness and the subtle theme of bad dreams.

There is one constant here, and that is the rise of Putin. A stunningly cold vignette concludes the play, while, in reality, Khodorkovsky speaks out on the need for Russian openness and reform. Will he succeed? Only if the structures that support a system where “no politician can be charged with a crime while in office” give way to their better angels – if they have them – and acquiesce to the demands of principled governance.

Until then, “is a problem.”

H E A LT H Tips on how to avoid getting – and spreading – the flu Flu season is now in full swing, but there are steps you can take to avoid those pesky germs that can make us ill. Physician experts at Culpeper Medical Center, a Novant Health UVA Health System facility, share a few simple rules that can be used to prevent the spread of germs.

1. Be your own sneeze guard If you feel a sneeze or a cough coming on, leave the room if you can.

At the very least, cover your mouth with a tissue or cough or sneeze into the fold of your arm. And don’t cough into your bare hand. That’s how germs get spread. Immediately put all used tissues in the trash. Handkerchiefs aren’t really an answer because after one use they’re contaminated. Carry a packet of tissues if you need them.

2. Go into picnic mode If someone in your family is sick, consider putting away the good china and silverware and have them use disposable cups, plates and utensils.

By tossing those items out, you cut the risk of spreading germs.

3. About those grocery cart wipes…

Keep a small bottle of hand sanitizer with you at all times and use it as much as possible. Use a household disinfectant or disinfectant wipes on surfaces that are frequently

touched, such as door handles, cabinet knobs, refrigerator handles, railings and cell phones. At the grocery store, take advantage of the wipes they station by the shopping carts.

4. Don’t shake on it If you’re sick, politely decline to shake hands and explain that you have a virus and want to avoid spreading germs. Wash your hands frequently in warm soapy water for at least 20 seconds. Try hard not to touch your eyes, nose or mouth, as this is how germs are spread.

5. Keep your distance According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people with the flu can spread it to others up to 6 feet away, so stay away from individuals who appear sick. If possible, avoid highly congested areas during flu season like movie theaters and malls.

6. Maintain a healthy lifestyle It is important to keep your immune system working at its highest, so stay hydrated, eat well and get enough sleep. Get a flu shot every year.

7. Be a loner If you are ill, sleep by yourself to avoid spreading germs to your loved one. Use a separate bathroom, if possible, and do not share bath towels.

Have your own box of tissues and hand sanitizer.

Visit your nearest emergency department if you experience symptoms such as difficulty breathing,

chest pain, sudden dizziness or severe or uncontrollable vomiting. For more information on Novant Health UVA Health System’s emergency services, please visit www.novanthealthuva.org/

FILM • “Wanda”(Janus, 1970) The only feature film written and directed by Barbara Loden, “Wanda”

is a stark road movie shot on 16mm film on a miniscule budget. The title character, as portrayed by Loden, is a drifter, a floater, a wanderer. “Wanda” is a groundbreaking film both in the presentation of a woman breaking away from her prescribed life, and in the introduction of a fiercely independent filmmaker. While the film won the Critics Prize in Venice in 1970, it only screened in one theater in New York during its US theatrical release. Digital presentation, 102 min. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken.

With its eye-popping photography and ravishing, epochal soundtrack, “Black Orpheus” was an international cultural event, and it kicked off the bossa nova craze that set hi-fis across America spinning. The romantic drama was made in Brazil by French director Marcel Camus and stars Marpessa Dawn and Breno Mello. It was an international co-production among production companies in Brazil, France and Italy. 35mm film print courtesy of Janus Films, 107 min.

1952) This rollicking musical satire of Hollywood in the 1920s when film transitioned from silent to sound features outstanding performances by Debbie Reynolds, Donald O’Connor, Jean Hagen and Gene Kelly, who co-directed the film with Stanley Donen. Now considered one of the greatest musicals ever filmed, it’s filled with memorable songs by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed, lavish routines and Kelly's fabulous song-anddance number performed in the rain.

Although Debbie Reynolds had made a few movies prior to her role as Kathy Selden, this is the film that made her a star and one of the films for which she is best remembered. The film was one of the first to be selected for the National Film Registry in its first year - 1989.

FILM • “Bright Road”(MGM, 1953) A year before Dorothy Dandridge and Harry Belafonte made the Cinemascope color musical “Carmen Jones,” they starred together in this low-budget but sincere drama about a rural teacher in a southern school trying to reach a problem child. Directed by Gerald Mayer and adapted from a Christopher Award-winning story by West Indian schoolteacher Mary Elizabeth Vroman, “Bright Road” was an anomaly for an African American film of the period in that it was neither a musical nor a treatment of racial issues. Vroman helped write the screenplay and in so doing, becoming the first black member of the Screen Writers Guild.

35mm archival print, 68 min. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken.

FILM • “The Unsuspected”

(Warner Bros., 1947) Michael Curtiz directed this film noir murder mystery starring Claude Rains as Victor Grandison, the well-known host of a true-crime radio program.

Following the mysterious death of an employee at his mansion, Grandison becomes embroiled in an elaborate plot involving impersonation, blackmail and murder. With Curtiz's skilled direction, Woody Bredell's evocative cinematography, sharp dialogue, and a first-rate cast including Audrey Totter, Constance Bennett and Joan Caulfield, “The Unsuspected” has been singled out as an underrated example of the genre, loaded with quintessential noir scenes. Film noir historian Eddie Muller wrote, "This is what you want - it's a locked room mystery story with incredibly well-dressed people beautifully photographed; it's absolutely spectacular." 35mm film print produced by the Library of Congress Film Preservation lab in 2014. 103 min.

FILM • “Lincoln”(Touchstone

Pictures, 2012) Daniel Day-Lewis portrays the 16th President of the United States in this critically acclaimed historical drama set during the final four months of Lincoln's life.

Filming took place at several historic structures in Richmond, Fredericksburg, and Petersburg, Virginia. Directed and produced by Steven Spielberg, the film also features Sally Field, David Strathairn, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, James Spader, Hal Holbrook and Tommy Lee Jones in supporting roles. More than 30 national critics named “Lincoln” to their Top Ten Films of the Year list and it received multiple nominations and awards, including twelve Oscar nominations. Rated PG-13. 35mm archival film print. 149 min. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken.

This historical romantic comedy speculates about where the young William Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes), who is short on cash and ideas, finds inspiration for one of his best-known works, “Romeo and Juliet.” Much credit is given to the playwright’s growing love for the fictional Viola (Gwyneth Paltrow), a woman of means striving to find her place in a world governed by men. Directed by John Madden and written by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard, “Shakespeare in Love” was a hit with audiences and critics alike. Janet Maslin wrote in her New York Times review, “Galvanized by the near-total absence of biographical data, it soars freely into the realm of invention, wittily weaving Shakespearean language and emotion into an intoxicatingly glamorous romance.” Among its many accolades, the film won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress (Gwyneth Paltrow), Best Supporting Actress (Judi Dench as Queen Elizabeth I), and Best Original Screenplay. * No one under the age of 17 will be admitted without a parent or guardian. 35mm archival film print. 123 min.

VIEWS Old and new THE MARSHALL PLAN

When I first started working in Culpeper in the late 1990s, I was Marshall Conner introduced to our town’s funny habit of describing places and directions with landmarks that are either the “old” or “new.”

After sorting out where I was going, the places people constantly referred to started to stick.

In just a few weeks I learned numerous shortcuts to bypass the more congested sections of Main Street.

The other day I tossed a question out to all my Culpeper friends. I asked, “Can you tell me about all the places that are currently referred to as old and new?”

This discussion moved from street to street, then to social media. The question opened a can of worms that provided days of enjoyment.

You see many of Culpeper’s “old timers” and even a few “new” old-timers gave me a constantly evolving list of places in town that used to be something else. On social media I collected over 58 places that this phenomenon is applied to.

As we laughed and remembered building after building, I began to realize this was a device to slow the relentless wheels of time. It is also a way to keep history alive.

Any of these old businesses ring a bell?

Jolly Jeff’s, Texas East, Wiener King, Tippy Tacos, Yowell Hardware, Clarke Hardware, Newberry’s, Highs, Glen’s Store, Roses, A&P, Farmer Jack, Golden Skillet, Jams, Hong Kong, Pinball Alley or RC Cola?

Some of the funnier contributions to the conversation included these gems: “I remember when Wal-Mart was a farmer’s field,” said a friend.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Neviaser a reliable barometer of conservative thought Dr. Neviaser is a reliable barometer of conservative thought in the community and his last column in the Culpeper Times was no exception.

With the country reeling under the effects of the president's shutdown of the government and celebrity chef Jose Andres feeding public servants, Dr. Neviaser heaps disdain on the Democratic Party. He is so energized he forgot to mention that on December 16 the House and the Senate forwarded a

“I remember a pet shop downtown where a monkey tossed poop at me,” commented another.

“I remember when parents were worried about arcades and watching too much MTV,” said another.

At its root the use of “old” and “new” --- is a grassroots rebellion against change. People naturally distrust change, robocalls and politicians for good reason.

Remember the uproars over traffic circles, block scheduling, two high schools, a YMCA and a public pool?

I’m willing to bet each one of you knows such a place or can add another to the list. Try it, it’s especially fun with longtime Culpeper residents. Even relatively young folks have a few.

If you’re good, you can take it to the Zann Nelson or Donnie Johnston level.

For example, the Culpeper County administration office is the "old” postoffice. Others I can think of are the "old” Safeway now a Gold's Gym, another easy one is the Galbreath/ Marshall Building, it was the “old” A.G. Richardson School.

The entire discussion made me think of cartoonist Robert Crumb’s “A Short History of America” created in 1979.

He drew a series of panels showing evolving scenes of rural landscapes, then a few buildings intersected by railroads, finishing with mini-malls and endless crisscrossing wires in the late-twentieth century. In the last panel is a question, “What next?!”

It is a simple and understated timeline, yet it captures the march of time well.

All things are subject to the passing of titles, time and tides.

Each week, I enjoy working with kids (new) and seniors (old)---it’s the ones in-between that are harder to figure out.

Kids and senior citizens tend to be more honest in their conversations and motives.

Personally, I remember when some of the best story ideas came from coffee breaks at Gayheart’s Drugstore or a walk through the crowded bleachers of Broman Field on a Friday night. I remember being a “new” sports reporter in town back when people called on a phone with a cord.

I remember a lady yelling at me at midnight on the phone because there wasn’t an obituary in the paper the day before as I finalized a sports page for print. I remember a chatty sports fan from Hampton who liked to talk high school football at 1a.m. on Friday nights.

There were moments when I loved telling jokes or fishing stories while we sliced box scores with a razorblade.

It was crazy… yet personal. It was community journalism.

Today, most gossip pops up on social media. A Tweet can dominate national news.

I liked “old” journalism as much as I loved kicking a soccer ball across a newsroom.

Over my time in Culpeper I have covered state championships, parades, earthquakes, storms, floods, fires and snow. I have covered tragedy and excellence, humanity and inhumanity.

Plus, there were lots of funny stories like the dead cow protest, a bear in a pickup, skunk attacks, property battles and a night without an obituary.

Even Culpeper’s street art ranges from old to new— a towering Minuteman and a mural of Virginia’s symbols all understated brilliantly by Prince, Bowie and Princess Leia stencils.

All coexist within a block’s distance.

This weekend’s Super Bowl is also a battle of “new” coach versus “old” coach.

New quarterback versus old quarterback.

Will new defeat old? My prediction is a 27-24 victory for the Patriots.

bill to the White House that the president said he would sign. That is, until Laura Ingraham and Rush Limbaugh said the compromise bill to open the government was unacceptable to them where upon the president broke his promise to the House and Senate.

Dr. Neviaser spent a lot of ink on his theme that Democratic members of the House and Senate don't respect the president. Apparently they are not alone.

Laura Ingraham has recently spoken ill of the president, the Koch brothers have announced they will not fund him in 2020, senators, like Lisa Murkowski, have expressed strong disagreement,

the government shutdown ended when Republican senators withdrew their support, and the Commandant of the Coast Guard was bluntly critical. It is not surprising that the shutdown ended with the president's poll numbers dropping.

Nevertheless, Dr. Neviaser’s article squeezed in every straw man and stereotype he could rather than propose a more academic view of current affairs.

That's what makes him a good barometer of our conservative community..
