VolTran continues to grow, look for more volunteers By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

VolTran is looking for more volunteers. The volunteer driving organization logged 2,700 miles and 470 trips in 2017, but is looking to expand its reach. Larry Stillwell, VolTran coordinator, Piedmont Resource Support LLC, said the program was started in 2007 but tapered off due to the recession. In the past year, VolTran has received

renewed funding through the PATH Foundation and is growing its volunteer base. The organization covers Fauquier, Culpeper and Rappahannock counties, providing transportation for seniors who need to travel to appointments. “They polled seniors about their biggest challenges,” Stillwell said of how VolTran formed. “Transportation was right at the top of the list.” The volunteering base is mostly retired individuals, with a valid

They have approximately 20 volunteer drivers on the roster, Stillwell said, with about 10-12 active at any moment time. VolTran’s resurgence is in part to their dealing with the FAMS

One Call Center in Culpeper, which now handles all their calls. “Our partnership with them has really made it possible to grow,” Stillwell said. “The old method for VolTran was that there was a phone line at the Fauquier DSS and you would leave a message. After hours, DSS staff would return that message. It was possible because it was a small volume at that point.” ➤ See VolTran, Page 4

➤ VolTran, from Page 2 Now, the VolTran number is transferred directly to the one call center and they handle the task of collecting the passenger’s name, their address, phone number and when their appointment is. That information is transferred to Stillwell who then connects with drivers via email to see who is available to drive. “We’ve had three or four people responding to one ride,” Stillwell said. The numbers have surged in the past year. In 2017, they had a total of 604 requests and were able to provide 438 rides. Already this year they’ve had 75 requests and 58 rides provided in January and 92 requests and 66 rides in February. Of half the rides that don’t take place, it’s because the client canceled while the other half are due to no driver available. “We’ve made a real effort to recruit volunteers,” Stillwell said. “It’s because of the Call Center and the publicity it and Aging Together does.” Stillwell said that the majority of the calls come from Fauquier County, with 80 percent originating in the town of Warrenton.

Stillwell stressed that for drivers, the amount of commitment is totally up to them. “People can drive whenever they want, as little or as often as they want,” Stillwell said. Drivers are asked to use their own cars and many of the trips are to Warrenton, Fairfax, Manassas and some to Charlottesville. Stillwell said the volunteer drivers have responded with positive feedback. “They love it, they find it very satisfying,” he said. “A lot of them are eager to transport certain people again because they just enjoy them and they enjoy that feeling of helping out.” He said part of the outreach is finding drivers who live in Rixeyville, Marshall, Catlett or Morrisville and outlying areas. “We really want to serve our whole footprint,” Stillwell said.

Event Exhibiting Success - Part One MARKETING MINUTE

As we ever so slowly emerge out of what feels like the longest winter in our area, we move into event season. Think home improvement shows and Gnarly Hops in the Spring, CulpeperFest and concerts in the Summer, Airfest and the Culpeper Fiesta in the Fall. It seems like something is happening every week - It is! These events offer excellent opportunities to market your business. Meeting potential clients and reconnecting with existing ones In person. Even in this digital age we live in, one thing we can all agree on relationships are key. There is still no substitute to meeting someone face to face. Moreover, according to The Center for Exhibition Research: Around 80% of people visiting your booth are in a position to buy and use the opportunity to decide what to buy. Converting a trade show lead to a sale costs nearly 40% less than traditional sales calls and office visits. Trade show visitors will tell 6+ people about their experience. Sadly the most common thing I hear people say about events is - “I didn’t get anything out of it”. While this statement may be true, when it comes to events a little planning can go a long way in getting the results you were expecting. Define your aims and objectives one of the biggest contributors to the statement “I didn’t get anything out of it,” is not knowing what you wanted to achieve in the first place. Just showing up, putting up your display, and handing out the occasional business card and promotional item will not cut it. You need a clear plan in place and get everyone involved on the same page to get results. Ask some key questions Who is your target audience? If you are looking for local families, CulpeperFest is a good choice. If your audience is seniors, The art of Aging Expo is where you need to be. Looking

to reach our Hispanic community? Consider Culpeper Fiesta. New last year was the Homesteaders conference - an emerging niche of self sufficient people of all ages in our region and beyond. A perfect opportunity for Real Estate agents, agricultural suppliers and solar businesses. Whoever you are looking to reach, you can find an event opportunity near us. What do you want people to know about your company / what is your message? People don’t absorb as much information as you want them to. They are on full sensory overload at an event, you have to cut through that with a clear message. Consider the key things you need people to remember about you and your company and make everything you do about that. Some examples could include: information on a new product or service, maybe you have a new location, hours or a new website that you need to make people aware of. Maybe you are hiring and have a new employee benefit or training program to offer. Whatever you decide, less is more. Once you have determined your target audience and message, find some events that fit. While there is no one source you can go to contact, you can start with the counties major organizations. The Chamber of Commerce, The Department of Economic Development, Culpeper Renaissance all have events and sponsorship opportunities. Explain who your audience is, and what your message is, and I am sure they would be more than happy to send any relevant event and sponsorship opportunities. I encourage you to, between now and next month, review your target market, marketing message, and events that will fit. And stay tuned for part 2.

Mitchell Presbyterian Youth host 'Rise Against Hunger' By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

Mitchell Presbyterian’s Youth fought against hunger last weekend. The group hosted its Rise Against Hunger event March 24 at the church, as more than 70 volunteers from throughout the community converged to created 10,000 meals that will be delivered overseas to help with areas that suffer from food shortages. According to youth coordinator Kathy Massey, the most recent deliveries were sent to Mozambique, but the church will receive a response in about three weeks to find out where their packages were sent. Mitchells started the program after participating in a similar one several years ago at Massanetta Youth Conference. “ They(youth) have been interested in hosting Stop Hunger Now and with donations/funds raised, we were finally ready to organize the event and make

their mission possible,” Massey said. Children as young as eight and residents as old as 65 helped package meals that included soy, vegetables and rice. Massey said she was impressed by the response from the community as they received about 30 more volunteers than they expected. Members of the Culpeper Ruritan Club - Steve Hicks, Don Shuman, Billy Sisk, and Scott Fisher - also helped pack meals. Mitchells Presbyterian member Posey Howell said he knew of other churches in the region that participate - pointing out his granddaughter has helped in Manassas. This is the first time the Culpeper congregation has volunteered. “It’s just a barrel of fun, everyone was really up and feeling good about what they were doing because it was a worthy cause, many people are not as fortunate in the world as we are,” Howell said. “It was very positive.”

Brown sets world record in strict curl CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

Krystal Brown is all about setting records. The Culpeper resident just started powerlifting in the fall of 2017 and already has set the state, national and world records in the strict curl. Brown discovered the strict curl while working out at Gold’s Gym in Culpeper and started training with Matt Stanton, the 100% RAW Powerlifting Federation, Inc. MD,WV,DE State Chairman, in October. By December she had set the world record of 78 pounds. A strict curl features an easy bar with a curl in the middle, with the lifter positioned on a platform with the legs and back against a pad. They have to adhere to the commands of the judges and cannot use their legs to lift the weight - it relies on technique and the strength in their wrists and shoulders. “It’s not drastically different from doing a curl in the gym, but you can’t use your legs,” Brown said. “You’re at a disadvantage if you think you’re just going to go in there and bounce up 80 to 90 pounds. That’s how most people curl in the gym, but you are strict. Your feet are set, your butt is up against the pad. You cannot involve your legs.” A former bodybuilder, Brown said it’s not that different in terms of training for powerlifting. “You have your habits and how you’ve done things over the years, I have to talk myself through the motions of using my shoulders to lift, an exaggerated curl of my wrists,” Brown said. “I have to talk myself through it constantly to build that muscle memory.” Brown established the Virginia State Powerlifting record and then broke it three times in the same day en route to lifting 78.2 pounds to set the world record. “Like any sport, I wanted to see what the event was about so I could understand and see it in action and see how other people do things,” Brown said. “I didn’t have any intention of breaking records, I just wanted to participate to see how I would do.

“I loved being the one to establish the record,” Brown said. “I imagine at some point in time someone is going to break my record, but they’re never going to be the one who established the record.” Stanton said that Brown came to the powerlifting game already ahead of the game, and that she was a joy to work with and train. The first time she came into the gym, she curled 70 pounds, he said. “That’s more than a lot of our girls on the powerlifting team,” Stanton said. “They’ve been doing it for four to five years, so it was very impressive.” Brown’s background in bodybuilding, which she fell in love with after watching the documentary “Pumping Iron,” helped her prepare for the powerlifting scene. “I’ve always liked that look and the discipline that goes with it,” Brown said. “It’s just getting into the gym and learning what works and what doesn’t. “The weight training is pretty much the same,” Brown said. “I don’t want to gain a ton of weight to lift more weight, but I do want to increase my strength. We’ve been working together on a training program that will help my strength so when I go into each meet I want to break my own personal best.” Her goal is to become just the fifth woman ever to curl 100 pounds, but her current focus is to break the 80-pound barrier at the Master’s Nationals in April held at Zion’s Crossroads. She’s touched on 79 pounds in practice, so she’s hoping that the enthusiastic setting at nationals will push her over. “It’s loud because everyone is cheering, they want you to be successful,” Brown said. “The more they see you trying to lift, or pull, or squat, the louder they are.” Stanton said the powerlifting team from Culpeper now has about 18 members and they won the world championship in the strict curl in 2016. “Now that we have Khrystal and a few others on the team, we’ll probably win it this year, that’s the plan,” Stanton said. Brown, who competes in the 45-49 master’s division, said that she enjoys having people be surprised that she can curl that amount of weight.

Signs that the spring baby boom has begun

WILD IDEAS

The first day of spring (March 20) was marked not only by Winter Storm Toby dumping some ice and snow on our area but also by signs that foxes are busy with new pups. One of the best things about spring is the baby boom that occurs this time of the year for many wildlife species. As I was looking across a pasture on a hill above Sperryville, I saw a red fox (Vulpes vulpes) carrying a large cottontail in its jaws. If the fox had planned to eat the rabbit, it likely would have done so immediately after killing it, and the rabbit looked intact. Seeing that the fox was headed for a steep, rocky and wooded hillside that is a favorite denning area for red foxes, I figured it was taking its prize back to its den for its family. Later in the spring, I’ve often enjoyed seeing

'The Winter's Tale'- Not-A-Problem Play CURTAIN CALLS

“The Winter’s Tale”, that strange, not so well known late play of Shakespeare’s, gets its comedy classification by default. It can’t be a tragedy, because even though King Leontes brings all his suffering upon himself, there are no dead bodies left lying around. It isn’t a history play because – it isn’t. So it must be a comedy. Such failure to conform to a dramatic mold is the reason “problem plays” became a thing, and “The Winter’s Tale” meets the criteria. Leontes’ wild psychological shifts could give a normal audience whiplash. There’s a touch of tragedy in the sudden death of young Mamillius (played by a perfectly bewitching puppet); there’s comedy in places you didn’t think comedy could live; and the resolution and traditional happy ending depend on magic. So it’s a “problem play.” For this reviewer, however, there’s no problem at all. Director Aaron Posner and the cast and technical crew of the production now at Folger have presented one of the most solidly unified pieces of performance art I have ever encountered. From the quick changing cast members who play multiple roles - and multiple musical instruments - to the fluid rhythms of scene, mood, and time change, what is actually two hours and forty minutes with intermission feels timeless, almost other worldly. Luciana Stecconi’s scene design sets the tone. Enormous snowy blue curlicues create a romantic, wintry frame for what is traditionally a tale to be told by a fireside, and stacked trunks and chairs do on-the-spot service for scene changes. Composer and music director, Liz Filios, fills the small Folger theatre from pre-show to end with music that weaves itself into the story, accents moments, grieves with the grief-stricken, and celebrates when things turn joyous. And it’s quite beautiful. I’d buy a CD of it if I could. Eric Hissom, a reliable star on regional stages, stands out not only as the Storyteller who draws us into the play, but as Leontes’ faithful courtier, Camillo, also Antigonus, “and others.” His straight forward but delicate sense of timing and comedy communicate thoughts that are little more than subtle movements, yet land fully realized.

King Leontes (Michael Tisdale) begins to feel the pangs of jealousy, as his queen Hermione (Katie deBuys) speaks with his best friend Polixenes (Aldo Billingslea).

Want to go?

What: “The Winter’s Tale” Where: Folger Shakespeare Library, 201 E. Capitol St. SE Washington, D.C. Call: (202) 544-7077 or visit www.folger.edu/theatre Playing through April 22 The role of King Leontes of Sicilia has built-in problems, and it’s to the great credit of Michael Tisdale that he solves them with such skillful naturalism. Leontes is charged with going insane – not over a period of years – but days, or perhaps moments when he decides on the evidence of thin air that his pregnant wife, Hermione, has been having an affair with his best friend, Polixenes, the King of Bohemia. Tisdale must show us a Leontes that is just fragile enough to be moved to extremes by the phantoms of his mind, doubles down on his error, and when Fate and the Oracle punish him with the truth, go into a contrition and self-

loathing equal to his original flaw. All of this he achieves. The wronged Hermione, played with warm dignity by Katie deBuys, is a tragic figure in her downfall, and Aldo Billingslea as King Polixenes presents a towering personage both in friendship to Leontes and later, as his implacable enemy. And we should all have a friend and champion like the formidable Paulina (Grace Gonglewski) who fearlessly confronts Leontes and the men of his court – and still has room for forgiveness when he cannot forgive himself. Comical rustics abound, but the gypsy thief, Autolycus (Kimberly Gilbert), who never did an honest act on purpose, steals her own scenes. This winsome character manages to make the delicate art of pocket picking almost admirable – as long as it isn’t our pockets. And then there’s love. No Shakespeare comedy is complete without it. Perdita (Daven Ralston),

the abandoned infant daughter of Hermione, found and raised by shepherds, becomes the unwitting means for reconciliation with a father and king she never knew. Naturally she attracts Florizell (Drew Drake), the disguised son of the disapproving Bohemian king, and their attempts to plight their troth in secret set up an intense moment of humor followed by even more intense conflict. Without revealing the supernatural close, an element which is unique in all of Shakespeare, suffice it to say that what could be written off as improbable absurdity pulls us further into that magical and willing suspension of disbelief. In lesser hands, “The Winter’s Tale” is indeed a problem play; but with an ensemble as tight and intuitive as this one, it warms up the evening.

The fox came back across the field a couple of minutes later, adding further evidence to my theory. In Virginia, red fox pups are usually born in March or April, so probably would not be ready for solid food by the time I saw the fox lugging the rabbit. The more likely scenario was that this was a male bringing food to his mate, who needed to stay in the den to feed and otherwise take care of their young pups. In refreshing my memory on fox reproduction, I checked online with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) website (tinyurl.com/wiusfws-rfox) and the Virginia Fish and Wildlife Information Service (VFWIS) website (tinyurl.com/wi-vfwis-rfox), which supplied most of the data below. The female red fox usually has only one litter a year, breeding in the

winter, and her mate sticks around to help rear the young. The species’ gestation period is 51–53 days, with litter sizes ranging from four to 17, averaging about five in Virginia. While red foxes prefer taking over woodchuck burrows with two or more entrances as dens, they will sometimes dig their own. One study showed that these dens were, on average, 2-4 feet deep and 10-14 feet in total length. Although red foxes can form groups with more than one female, especially when denning, in much of North America, social groups are just pairs, according to USFWS. Red fox pups weigh 2.4–4 ounces at birth and have fine, gray-brown fur. The color changes as they mature, usually becoming a reddish-brown by 14 weeks, often with gray along their flanks, like the one I saw that day, or with black guard hairs that make the coat look darker. Some mature red foxes are silver

and dark gray to black, a natural color morph of the species; a red fox with this coloring is often called a “silver fox.” Red foxes often also have white on their throats, which may extend up to the lower jaw and back of the neck, and a white-tipped tail. The pups open their eyes in nine days and start walking in three weeks. Once the female can safely leave the pups alone in the den for short periods, both parents hunt. By around five weeks, pups appear at the den entrance and are weaned in eight to 10 weeks. Juvenile males are typically larger than juvenile females, and both reach their full size in about 6 months. The parents often move their young to at least one alternate den before the pups are six weeks old, with litters sometimes split — half residing in one den and half in another. At around 12 weeks, the young foxes start exploring their parents’ home range. They disperse from late August to October, with the males going first and farther than the females. Most red foxes in the wild live three or four years. Like many other canids, red foxes are opportunistic when it comes to their diet. Although their principal prey are rabbits and rodents, their

diet also includes woodchucks, birds, eggs and large insects (especially beetles and grubs), the occasional small domestic cat or dog, other small prey, plants and fruit. When I lived on a large farm in Huntly years ago, I used to sit and watch the den of a fox family that was on a hill in a field near my house. The young were as much fun to watch at play as any dog pups. They seemed to tolerate the dog I had at the time, a Belgian Tervuren named Mai Coh, who could get close to the den when the pups were out. They were more skittish about my presence, so I stayed far enough away not to disturb them. While neither Mai Coh nor I did posed a threat, but other dogs might, including my current dog, who enthusiastically chases foxes up the mountain where we live. Fortunately, the adult foxes are fast, smart, and have lots of cover up there, so they easily escape her. © 2018 Pam Owen Pam Owen is a writer, editor, photographer, and passionate nature conservationist living in Rappahannock County, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

Rebecca Harris of Culpeper and Melinda Kunka of Locust Grove sew handbags for hygiene kits that will be provided to Empowerhouse, a program in the Fredericksburg region for survivors of domestic abuse. Harris and Kunka were among 160 women of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who stuffed 60 hygiene kits Saturday at the

Women prepare hygiene kits for survivors of domestic abuse By Jennifer Erickson FOR THE CULPEPER TIMES

A woman holding a cardboard sign paced back and forth near an intersection in the Fredericksburg area Saturday afternoon. Her left eye was encircled by a black bruise. When asked what happened, she said, “I was in a bad relationship.” She was in need of cash for a motel and then asked if she knew about Empowerhouse. She said she had stayed there before. Earlier that day, about 160 women of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints gathered at the church in Fredericksburg for a service project – preparing hygiene kits for women who come to Empowerhouse in need of a safe haven. The women and teenage girls who participated in the service project come from areas including Culpeper. “To empower survivors of domestic violence and their children to believe in themselves and build new lives filled with dignity, respect, safety and hope; and vision,” is the mission of Empowerhouse, according to its website at www.empowerhouseva. org. The program serves

Fredericksburg and Spotsylvania, Caroline, King George, and Stafford counties; sheltering more than 100 adults and 100 children each year. At the church, women congregated at a hygiene kit assembly line and sewing machines. Sixty hygiene kits of toothbrushes, toothpaste, nail clippers, deodorant, shampoo, lotion, hairbrushes, and soap were assembled. Each kit would be placed in a brightlycolored hand-sewn handbag with a personal note of encouragement. Tammy Jones of Culpeper, a coordinator of the service project, expressed her hope for all who participated. “I hope they take away that they are children of their Heavenly Father, who loves them; and He will not ever leave them alone,” Tammy Jones said. “As sisters, together, we can help each other through this mortal life as we should be helping each other.” Lily Jones of Fredericksburg, another coordinator of the project, will deliver the kits to Empowerhouse. She said the name of the program drew her attention to the service opportunity, hoping those who participated would empower one another.

Your river, my river, our river

THE MARSHALL PLAN

The arrival of spring this year has been wildly inconsistent—we Marshall Conner have had blustery nor’easters, rain, a couple warm days and a few days of snow. Despite all the swirling winds the natural world still seems like a welcome refuge from the constant barrage of politics, scandals and rumors of scandals that thoroughly infect our minds like a cancer emanating from one beeping electronic device or another. It’s time to leave the smartphone for a few hours and take a step outside. One of the many benefits of being a fly-fisherman is the skill of observation, the Buddhists refer to it as mindfulness. Simply put it is the ability to observe what is literally underfoot or within reach. It is an acquired skill and it’s much more difficult to possess when you are young. It is a discipline to see the natural world as an integral part of a larger fishing experience, not just as a background for your fish selfie. For example, if you took the time to look at the insects circling blooming plants you would instantly know what the fish are feeding on. Time moves at a different pace in the natural world. Humans tend to over-manage time. The tide, moon and seasons move at a subtler pace. Recently, time caught up to one of my fly-fishing heroes. Author and fly-fishing icon Bernard “Lefty” Kreh, 93, passed away on the same day many mourned the passing of Stephen Hawking, a man equally beloved by students of physics and the universe. Both men taught us that the complex can be taught to be accessible. “If you’re interested in catching hickory shad, they arrive when the shadbush and the dogwood bloom. If anglers had the time to spend in the wild all day and study this stuff, they wouldn’t need fly-fishing books or newspaper columns, because everything in nature reveals itself. That is my job: to

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Culpeper County School Board should have voted for prayer before meetings

The Culpeper County School Board recently voted 5-2 against starting its meetings with prayer. Board members Nate Clancy (Catalpa) and Marshall Keene (Stevensburg) should be thanked profusely for voting to support prayer. Board members Anne Luckinbill (Salem), Betsy Smith (Cedar Mountain),

take the time to see nature revealed and pass along what I learned to people who could not be there,” wrote Kreh in his auto-biography. Two weeks ago, Woodie Walker, a community conservationist with Friends of the Rappahannock, gave a presentation to the Silver Citizens Club, a Parks and Recreation program in Culpeper. His presentation included insight on the Rappahannock River that flows 187 miles total miles from Chester Gap to the Chesapeake Bay. The river and its tributaries flow through 18 jurisdictions in its journey to saltwater. Miles of the river flow through Culpeper County. Following his presentation Walker informed the club about the upcoming Wild and Scenic Film Festival (Saturday, March 31st at 5:30pm) at the University of Mary Washington’s Dodd Auditorium. He was especially thrilled to meet Jean Scott, a member of the Silver Club, who received an award last year for her role in the removal of Monumental Mills dam on the Hazel River, a tributary of the Rappahannock. The dam’s removal returned the river to a pre-European settlement flow pattern. Last year, Scott was honored by the Virginia Chapter of the American Fisheries Society, at its annual meeting. Scott’s award states, “Natural Resource Conservationist Award 2017, “For outstanding contributions to the conservation of Virginia’s aquatic resources.” Walker presented Scott with a few passes for the ten-film river-focused festival. “We would be an honor for Mrs. Scott to attend,” said Walker. “She has certainly helped the Rappahannock watershed.” Personally, the magic of spring on the Rappahannock comes down to moments—moments that happen 40 feet down a line where a tiny hook wrapped in a flash of pink flutters. Beneath the rushing water comes a flash of silver---instantly it swirls to the surface and leaps before turning sideways to maximize its leverage in the river current. The first shad of spring brings joy to the heart before finding its way into my

landing net. I release it to continue its journey. Along the shore of the Rappahannock River people and wildlife converge after a winter that stayed a bit too long. Ospreys circle overhead and dive with precision to snatch fish. This is the annual spawning run for the anadromous shad—a notable Virginian. The shad, both the Hickory and American varieties are historic, beloved, and even political. The poor man’s tarpon as it has been called, is usually the first fish to knock the dust off your fishing reel in the spring. On a fly-rod it fights admirably. A shad has a tenacity that most freshwater fish lack. One can instantly tell that a shad has endured the harsh realities of the sea. A shad returning to the river was born there a couple years ago. It returns to the ocean in maturity and returns to its birth river repeating the cycle of life. The shad’s journey coincides nicely with the first outbreaks of spring fever. The annual shad run in Fredericksburg has consistently inspired work-dodging and school-skipping for hundreds of years. Historic accounts state that troops on both sides in the Civil War took pause from blowing each other’s heads off to catch a few shad. The shad run was powerful enough to pause warfare. Gene Mueller, a local outdoor columnist described the shad run well in 2009. “Fishermen stand near a couple of sandy islands, sloshing about and firing their small lures into the river, fully aware that the law of averages was on their side. Sooner or later one of the shiny-scaled fighters had to be swimming past them on its way to suitable spawning pools and along the way look at a shad dart. Shad are very democratic that way. If something irritates or interests them, they often instinctively take a swipe at it,” he wrote. Sounds like the perfect fish to cook at a political gathering, right? Shadplanking has been a political institution in the Commonwealth since the 1940s--but honestly, I can’t be bothered with politics when the fish are biting. Nature always keeps its promises.

Michelle North (Jefferson), Pat Baker (East Fairfax) and Rachel Carter (West Fairfax) voted against prayer. This Gang of Five should be asked the following questions by Culpeper voters: Why are the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors and Culpeper Town Council able to open their meetings with prayer led by local pastors? Why has this practice been done for decades with no controversy? Why do Virginia school boards in diverse places such as Chesterfield

County and the City of Chesapeake open their meetings with prayer and without incident? The Culpeper Gang of Five thinks it represents exotic cities like San Francisco or Boulder, Colorado. Culpeper voters need to provide some badly-needed adult supervision to these folks before they embarass us all with yet another train wreck. Kurt Christensen Richardsville

In recognition of this serious problem Mid-Day and a number of the Lions clubs in the local area are now collecting empty medicine bottles, sterilizing same after removing labels and shipping bottles to a collection center in Ohio where they are then packaged and sent to the location identified as in need. To address these issues, Mid-Day has obtained a large metal box, to collect eye glasses, hearing aids, and empty medicine bottles to assist in addressing these needs. We also collect computer printer cartridges for recycling. This Mail Box painted Lion Blue with International Lions Logo’s is located adjacent to the entrance of Stover’s Greenhouse located on Route 229 approximately 3 miles north of Duke’s store.

LEARNING ABOUT SCIENCE. Epiphany Catholic School's science fair showcased the hard work, creativity and science research skills of our Middle School students. Did you know that petting a guinea pig has been proven to lower your blood pressure? Or that there are many uses for ginger and sodium bicarbonate that you may have never realized? We also learned that being a multi-tasker may not be a good thing because it has been proven to be a real drain on brain function! So many great projects on display. Pictured for 6th grade are: 3rdJacob Adams, Henry Brown and Kevin Barlow (Rubber Band Rovers) 2nd- Evan Thornton and Austin Tingler (Sunny Rays and Angles) 1st- Leo Keddie and Nick Sadowski (Digesting Proteins).
