Greater Piedmont Realtors work to provide 'Housing For All'

By Jeff Say

Culpeper Times Staff Writer The Greater Piedmont Realtors is stressing “housing for all.”

At their conference April 16, GPR President, Philip L. Thornton, IV explained the new initiative to help residents find affordable, accessible, sustainable housing throughout the region.

“What does housing mean to all of you?” Thornton asked. “That’s why we’re here, to discuss that idea.”

“Our goal is to start the conversation and develop a platform for our local and regional decision makers to come together with us and the business community, and other interested stakeholders, around housing policy ideas that will enhance economic development and housing opportunities throughout the Piedmont region,” Thornton said.

Thornton said that the goal of the GPR is that over the coming months to share model ordinance language and fact filled links and information with its members to bring attention the 24-30, need for enCulpeper Times •toAug. 2017 hanced housing opportunities that

will serve everyone in our community.

George Ratui, Managing Director, Housing and Commercial Research, National Association of Realtors, talked about the changes the real estate industry and America has faced.

“One good change for the U.S. for the last decade has been population growth,” Ratiu said. “Why is this positive? Countries that do not experience population growth have a hard time sustaining growing economies.”

He pointed out that people gravitate toward urban areas, with more than 80 percent of the world’s population living in urban areas, but also pointed out that 64 percent of those live in the suburbs.

Despite the belief that the younger generation - millennials - are focused on living in thriving cities - many of them are drawn to suburbs.

“Suburbs are very much alive and suburbs are where a lot of the folks are choosing to live,” Raitu said.

In Culpeper County, growth has been steady - with the county growing 45 percent from 2000-2016 and

172 percent from 1970 to 2016. collar workers.”

Rally against 287(g) set for Saturday

By Jeff Say

Culpeper Times Staff Writer Legal Aid Justice Center will be hosting a rally Saturday at 2 p.m. at Yowell Meadow Park to express their concern with the 287(g) immigration program that the Culpeper County Sheriff ’s Office will implement on April 24.

Sophia Gregg, Attorney, Immigrant Advocacy Program, Legal Aid Justice Center, said that the Hispanic population of Culpeper is concerned about the program.

“We want to give a voice to the affected community in Culpeper,” Gregg said. “To really have a platform to explain to the rest of the community about the issues regarding the implementation.”

She said the rally is also a platform for other organizations, such as the ACLU, to come out and support the Culpeper community.

According to Gregg, there is a lot of fear in the community when it comes to the program.

“A lot of people I’ve spoken to were people who used to live in Prince William County and they’ve moved from there due to the climate of intolerance and not feeling welcome,” Gregg said. “They moved to Culpeper and they built roots in Culpeper and found it to be a very welcoming community.”

Jenkins has said that he believes the fear is being propelled by organizations with an agenda who have ulterior motives.

“My agenda is simple: I’m the sheriff. I’m the only person in this county and this state who can implement this program in Culpeper,” Jenkins said at a Culpeper County Board of Supervisors meeting in December. “That means I am the one who will rest with the conscience of the decision if we don’t do everything we can house and help deport people who could possibly kill or injure our citizens.”

Jenkins stressed that this is a not a street level program where patrol deputies could detain and

then turn over an illegal alien to ICE. The program will train four deputies initially, with two more added later, to use ICE software as inmates are taken into the jail.

They are already asked a standard set of questions, Jenkins said, and this program will ask more pertaining to whether they are in the country legally or not.

Gregg countered arguments that the program is “just a computer” by saying that it deputizes Culpeper County deputies to “carry out civil immigration enforcement.”

“Having that ability to put people in deportation proceedings,” Gregg said.

“When someone is brought into jail they may be screened and subject to deportation. The sheriff will no longer have control over the deputies in their day to day activities as an acting ice authority.”

While the program is a jail program, she said Hispanic residents are fearful of being pulled over for anything - including not having

a driver’s license. She said that many Hispanic residents who are even here legally cannot obtain a driver’s license because of the stringent laws of the Commonwealth.

Gregg said she has heard concerns from those who want to attend the rally, but are afraid it will make them a target for retaliation.

“I have had a lot of questions about that, what the security issue will be,” Gregg said. “If they speak, if they will be targeted for retaliation. On a national level, we’re seeing people who speak on immigration issues who are under documented are being targeted by this administration.”

The sheriff has scheduled a ceremony for April 24, saying the signing of the agreement is in memory of Zulma Alvarez, a young Hispanic lady killed by an illegal immigrant in a drunk driving accident.

Gregg said Alvarez’ family will speak at a press conference on April 19 to address the situation.

Residents speak out against proposed YMCA at BOS public hearing

By Jeff Say

Culpeper Times Staff Writer A public hearing on the proposed Culpeper County Fiscal Year 2019 budget turned into a heated discussion about a proposed community center Tuesday night.

The budget, as presented, will be $182.6 million, an increase over FY18's $164.6 M. The vast majority of that increase is due to debt service for the construction of a new Career and Technical Education

School.

However, the public's main concern was the proposed YMCA. The FY19 budged includes $200,000 for engineering of the proposed community center, which is estimated at $13.1 million.

Many residents said they did not feel that government should be taking money from taxpayers to pay for a nonprofit entity.

"These folks would be getting one heck of a deal," Stevensburg resident Kurt Christensen said.

Rich Harrington, chair of the Culpeper Wellness Foundation, cautioned against rushing too quickly into a community center, pointing out that Culpeper already has fitness options such as Powell Wellness Center, Gold's Gym and Anytime Fitness.

He did acknowledge the need and desire for a community pool expressed support in making that happen.

"But, beyond the pool, we respectfully request that you take the time

to gather the data needed to determine what types of programs and activities our community actually needs before spending, or committing, any additional funds," he said.

Others, like Meroe Dawson of the West Fairfax District, supported the idea of a YMCA. "This is our opportunity to shape our future," she said.

The board has discussed putting a referendum on the ballot in November. The BOS will vote on the budget May 1.

Culpeper County Schools are safe, but more SROs needed

By Jeff Say

Culpeper Times Staff Writer Culpeper County Public Schools are safe, but more can be done to ensure that trend continues - was the message a group of law enforcement, government and school officials delivered during a roundtable on school safety Monday at Brandy Station Fire Hall.

A product of the outcry following the school shooting in Parkland, Fla. in February, the roundtable discussed how far Culpeper has come since Culpeper County Sheriff Scott Jenkins took office in 2012 and how more resources are still needed to continue to ensure the safety of students in Culpeper County schools.

Jenkins said that more school resource officers are needed to continue to protect CCPS schools, but that each high school and each middle school has one resource officer assigned to it and four of the elementary schools are staffed with school resource officers.

He pointed out, however, that those deputies are routinely called out to attend court, training or other duties and more school resource officers should be funded to help fill the gaps.

2018_Gnarly_Ad_CT.pdf 1 4/9/18

“We’d need three more to properly staff the 10 schools,” Jenkins said.

Jenkins gave a presentation detailing the advancements in security measures taken since he took office in 2012, including adding vestibules to the schools, color coding of the regions of the school so both students and law enforcement have proper knowledge of the law out of the school, the use of cameras inside and outside the school, the placement of “Knox boxes” at the schools and the amount of school resource officers now available.

He also addressed concerns about the implementation of security measures such as metal detectors or clear backpacks, pointing out the logistics issues with both - especially the metal detectors which would take more than two hours to properly screen each student coming through the high school’s doors.

He praised the relationship between the CCSO and the schools and how they address safety.

“We are far above others,” Jenkins said. “We do have that good guy with a gun on each campus.

It’s a team effort from everyone.

that the students appreciated the emergency drills and color-coding mapping of the schools. “They’re noticing these things.”

Brads echoed Jenkins’ comments on the safety and later in the roundtable had a conversation with local resident Paul Bates about the use of 3M bulletproof film that could be put doors that access schools. Brads said that a cost analysis was being completed on the possibility of adding that extra security measure. ➤ See Safety, Page 5

(when hysteria happens because of school shootings) many of those jurisdictions are operating with security the way we had it in 2011, which was very limited.”

Culpeper County Superintendent Tony Brads just happened to be meeting with his student members of his advisory board the day the Parkland shooting occurred.

Following the Parkland incident, he said the next time he met with the advisory board he asked the students if they felt safe.

“Every single one said ‘Yes, I feel safe,’” Brads said, explaining

➤ Safety, from Page 4 Daria Brezinski, author of “Preventing School Shootings: The Formula,” broke down the many traits school shooters have in common.

She said stress is a major contributing factor to the violence and talked about how HIPAA laws prevent mental health professionals from dealing with issues because they cannot share information with school and law enforcement representatives.

Daria Brezinski, author of “Preventing School Shootings: The Formula,” said school shooters share many traits in common. Stress, she said, is a major contributing factor in violence.

“By the time a law is broken, it’s too late,” Brzezinski said. “What do you do with that person who hasn’t committed a crime?”

Late in the conversation, Town Councilman Bobby Ryan questioned if teachers should have access to guns.

Brads said that while he’s in favor of armed school resource officers and trained school security guards that he “frankly would not be in favor of arming teachers.”

Ryan responded that “I’m an Army vet and have been out for 50 years, I wouldn’t want an old codger like me in in a school with a gun.”

Delegates Michael Webert and Nick Freitas talked about the grants available and the role of the general assembly in addressing the issue, though Freitas pointed out that impacting a student who is contemplating these thoughts with love and positive reinforcement is the right course of action.

“There is a role for local, state and federal government for ensuring student safety,” Freitas said. “But the other thing I want to emphasize is this can’t be a top down solution that is pushed from Washington, D.C. or Richmond. I think the most significant component of this is coming down to the individual and the parents. There really has to be a community based solution to this, it’s not just the security standpoint. It’s ensuring something like this by identifying things early on and preventing it from taking place, as opposed to being reactive to it.”

Her group partner Sophia Trozzo spoke about feminism and why it was important.

"I've experierenced cases where I've been looked down on because I'm woman or half-Korean," Trozzo said.

The scholars program earns college credits for the students.

Tom Murphy isn’t just the Virginia State Police Special Agent assigned to battling the heroin epidemic - he’s a victim as well.

Murphy’s son, Jason, died Dec. 13, 2017 from a heroin overdose.

Murphy recounted his tale locally at the Culpeper task force to battle the opioid epidemic.

Murphy first spoke publicly about his son’s passing and his addiction a day before in front of the acting drug czar Jim Carroll - whom Murphy had worked with nearly 30 years ago - and then shared his story a day later in Culpeper.

“If you don’t think it can happen to you or someone in your family, you’re wrong,” Murphy said. “If you want to attach a stigma to it, attach it to me, to my face and my family.”

His son suffered from mental health issues, he was diagnosed with ADD at a young age, had depression and anxiety issues and had been medicated since the fourth grade.

As he grew older, he began to self-medicate with marijuana and that didn’t sit well with his dad. Murphy had his son arrested a couple of times, but when he turned 18 he left home and started to bounce around from apartment to apartment. He was arrested a few times more, and each time Murphy and his family wouldn’t bond him out.

“I believe in punishment and tough love

and there’s got to be a fine balance between the two,” Murphy said.

Jason had been in jail since March 2017, but in September a girlfriend bonded him out.

“I told my wife that he’s going to get locked up again and go to prison, or he’s going to end up dead, sure enough he ended up dead,” Murphy said. “There were nine other families there telling their stories, but I’m a unique situation because of what I’ve done for 30 years. It’s personal to me.”

Murphy’s story is all too familiar in the region - which is why Culpeper County Sheriff Scott Jenkins formed the task force - consisting of four committees (enforcement, treatment, finance and education) to meet regularly to discuss the epidemic and tactics that can be used to address it.

Probation and parole officer Stephanie McDonald leads the treatment committee, Culpeper Department of Human Services executive director Lisa Peacock is head of the finance committee and Catalpa District School Board representative Nate Clancy runs the education committee.

The committee heard from Lauren Cummins, executive director of the Northern Shenandoah Valley Substance Abuse Coalition, about how that region has handled the epidemic.

Cummins said that the NSVSAC has seen a decrease in deaths - thanks due to the administration of Naloxone, the region ➤ See Stigma, Page 7

➤ Stigma, from Page 6 is seeing a resurgence of cocaine. Through last week, that region has seen seven overdose deaths in 2018, compared to 18 in the same time frame last year.

Cummins talked about the creation of a drug court in the region as an alternative to jail time for residents facing drug-related charges. She explained that participants must call in each morning, follow strict curfews, submit to random drug tests and appear before the court each week. She also talked about how coalitions and community partners can help educate and address the issue before addicts even start using the drugs.

Culpeper’s coalitions already have a head start on that initiative.

Living the Dream 5K and Walk More than 100 runners and walkers turned out to support the Living the Dream Foundation’s third annual 5K and Walk April 14.

Off to the side of the supporters, Culpeper resident Linda MacDonald stood with her dog Suzie. She showed up to support Ed and Gloria Long and their coalition, because her family knows all too well the pain of losing a loved one to an overdose.

It’s been nearly five years since her son Tyler overdosed on heroin on Sept. 11, 2013.

It’s a pain that lingers, and will for the rest of her life, but it was magnified just six weeks ago when her niece in New Hampshire died at age 20 from a heroin overdose.

Tyler was a star lacrosse player for Culpeper County High School, a two-time MVP and helped lead the Blue Devils to a 15-4

record his senior year. A powerful midfielder, he was known for his big hits and ability to distribute the ball. After high school, he got into a crowd that was distributing more than a lacrosse ball.

“I think it came from just the crowd he was hanging out with and they dabbled from one thing to another,” Linda said. “It just led to heroin. To be honest, I didn’t even know half of what was going on. When I did find out, he finally got his act together for a little bit. He was clean for about a year, maybe a year and a half.”

He started working odd jobs, doing work in North and South Carolina and was in New Jersey doing work during Superstorm Sandy. After he finished a job in North Carolina in September he called home wondering what he should do - he didn’t want to come home because all his friends there were using.

He ended up coming home on a Sunday or Monday, Linda recalled, and by Wednesday she came home from work to find him in his bedroom dead.

He was 25.

“I talk about it with people who need it, or who want to talk about it,” Linda said. “I don’t make it a daily conversation.”

The wound was reopened when her niece died six weeks ago.

“It was like going back in time,” she said.

“It was just like reliving the day I found Tyler dead.”

Now, she comes out to help support area coalitions but the pain of her loss will forever still.

“It’s a long road, it never goes away,” Linda said.

HISTORY The pioneer spirit lives!

ZANN’S PLACE

They say that adversity builds character, but past events might beg the question of how much character does one individual need?

I live on my family farm in what is still considered "the country" and take a great deal of pride in my independence.

Raised with a can-do attitude that coupled with a philosophy of frugality at times stretched to the point of ridiculous, has been a very handy asset.

The founding fathers and mothers survived on ingenuity and perseverance. Not so long ago frontporch stories regaled to the younger generations these attributes.

The stories are great but there is little substitute for experience itself.

By no means would I recommend the destruction of property or the shutting

off of your water or heat supply to fabricate a test of abilities. Yet, such an incident is an excellent test of one's level of self -reliance.

Sometime ago, there was a most regrettable event when my basement-a glorified name for what is an enlarged root cellar-flooded due to my negligence. Earlier I had discovered a leaky regulator valve. I ordered the part but waited too long to make the repair: the result was a burned out motor. To make matters worse this all occurred on a Friday afternoon.

The furnace provides heat and hot water and it was immediately obvious that I didn't have either. The reason was not confirmed until the expert technician arrived on Monday afternoon.

By today's standards the working conditions were dismal. Nonetheless, the young man didn't complain about having to crawl to get to the furnace.

I felt almost apologetic when I told him that I had been without heat and water since Friday. I explained that I kept a fire going in the den and had

ample blankets for nighttime, but I am certain that he questioned my mental stability for not moving to a hotel.

Oh, well, in the true spirit of pioneers, this is my home and I hate to abandon it in hard times.

I often think about what Rev. Silas Bruce, the former resident during the 1800's, would have done. No doubt he prayed a lot then proceeded to figure it out!

Cultivating creative solutions to life's dilemmas requires a proper attitude and the application of ample time to consider the issue unhampered by the pressure for an immediate fix.

I remember the summer that a crawfish bore a hole in the bottom of our spring-fed water system. The six weeks without running water was a dream come true for us kids. The "fix" required blasting a new hole through bedrock, setting a new holding tank with new pipes to the pump. Dad established an ample supply of water for cooking and flushing and bathing took place in the pond. I have no idea why it took so long, but it became a part of our life for the time being.

The experience paid dividends: in February of 1977 while seven

months pregnant with my first child, Culpeper's temperatures plunged into the teens and would not see a thaw for 30 days.

We called the plumber who thawed the water pipes right away. When they froze again by nightfall, we accepted our fate. We were lucky; we had heat and electricity!

Maybe a little bit of that pioneer spirit still exists.

Until next week, be well..

and follows that up with a second-year beekeeping class as well.

Starting in November he starts taking orders for packages of bees, these come in a wooden box about the size of a very large shoe box, it is screened on two sides and inside it is full of bees to include the queen in her queen cage and her attendants, there is also a very large can of sugar syrup so that the bees have something to eat on their long journey.

They will not arrive until March or April depending on the weather, this year for example they were pushed back because it was just too cold. So imagine if you will that this year Virginia Bee Supply will have over 1400 packages of bees delivered to beekeepers as well as over 500 individual queens (sometimes you may only need a new queen and not a whole package of bees), and 200 Nucs: Bee Nucs are normally 2 or 3 frames of brood and 2 or 3 frames of honey/pollen and will contain 5 frames in total. Not only is that a lot of bees but that is a lot of work, taking those packages off the trucks making sure that they do not get chilled, putting them inside the building, and when people come to pick their packages up making sure that the queen is alive and in most cases giving a short tutorial on what to do with once you arrive home with your bees.

Is it Spring yet?

Just when you think the weather is going to be nice and warm with little or no wind Mother Nature brings us back to reality with rain, wind, and in some cases tornados. I would definitely have to say that our bees are a whole lot of confused. At one of the meetings that I attended it was stated that due to the fluctuation of temperatures that there was a huge loss of hives for many beekeepers across the U.S. Which brings us to this week’s topic.

What happens when you find that you have lost your bees and they need to be replaced with another package of bees?

Virginia Bee Supply in Remington, Va., is owned and operated by Jerry Headley, Beekeeper extraordinaire for the past 12 plus years and is housed in a 3000 sq. ft. building. He sells everything that deals with beekeeping, from wooden ware such as hives, frames, bee suits, tools, and just about anything you would need. He learned how to care for bees from his grandfather and has taken that knowledge and shared it with many people along the way. Jerry teaches beginning beekeeping classes

A very long 'John' Does it really take three and a half hours to find out that someone is lying? By that time, do we even care?

Annie Baker’s latest play, said to “cast a unique and brilliant light” by The New Yorker’s critic, strikes this country mouse reviewer as a work of parts that are greater than the whole.

Individual scenes are frequently interesting, sometimes funny, but rarely enlightening.

Director Joe Calarco also waxes frothily on the beauties of this beast. “…a hilarious, exquisitely beautiful play,” he calls it. Let’s just say we have very different ideas of what an “exquisitely beautiful play” might be.

I won’t discount the poetic oddity that was Baker’s “Circle Mirror Transformation,” but “John” is something else entirely. I like a good piece of symbolism as much as the next gal, but when a character complains of cold hands and I’m supposed to think, “Oh, she’s the marble statue Pygmalion!” – I draw the line.

Unfortunately, what is asked of them is not enough to make the three and a half hours, including two intermissions (one interrupted by a long, rambling recital of mildly amusing delusions) worth the suspension of our disbelief.

Elias and Jenny, a modern couple wrestling through a long relationship, show up at Mertis’s Gettysburg B & B for a weekend. Elias is especially interested in Civil War history and takes advantage of the battlefield tours – with or without Jenny, who has cramps. We might be forgiven for thinking that they are there for the Christmas holiday, since there is a fully dressed Christmas tree in Mertis’s living room. But it’s just November.

TECHNOLOGY Three takeaways from the Facebook fiasco DATA DUMP

Did you know that Facebook has approximately 214 million user accounts that are just here in the United States? Not bad, since the total U.S. population is hovering around 326 million. That means 2 out of 3 people reading this have a Facebook account. Facebook has been in the news a lot recently related to the Cambridge Analyitca data leak, including CEO Mark Zuckerberg testifying before the U.S. Senate.

Should you be worried about your privacy on Facebook? What can you do to protect your personal data? I have three takeaways from this “scandal”, but first, here is just a quick recap.

In 2014, an independent researcher, Aleksandr Kogan, was paid by the political consulting firm, Cambridge Analytica, to gather information on

John Barker

what Facebook users “Like”. Kogan created an app, with general Facebook approval, that was downloaded by 300,000 Facebook users. Those users were paid to take surveys, but not only did the app collect data on those 300,000 users, it also tracked their friends if their privacy settings allowed it. As a result, the reach of this went as high as 87 million people.

Facebook said Kogan violated its terms of service when it passed along the data to Cambridge Analytica and demanded that it be destroyed. It is unclear whether the data was deleted or not. Cambridge Analytica said it was deleted, but the New York Times investigated and suggested that Cambridge Analytica still had almost all the data. The U.S. government is concerned that foreign countries can influence our elections by using social media as a back door.

That last concern is valid. Digital advertising works and can sway our buying habits. If it didn’t, you wouldn’t have 5 million businesses

spending money, consistently advertising on Facebook. It’s not a stretch to think that we can be influenced in other areas of our lives with non-stop advertisements in our face.

3 Takeaways Default to “On” Privacy — When I first started working in the technology field 20 years ago, new devices, right out of the box, had every option turned on. As we became concerned about security, the tech companies started making a change that engineers had to manually turn on the features that they needed.

Digital companies, like Facebook, need to do the same thing with our data. The default privacy modes in your profile are too relaxed. We users should have to go in and manually change our sharing options so only the groups we want to share data with are the only groups that get access.

Not So Quick to Click — When is the last time you fully read a term of service that popped up on the screen?

Never? Me either. The next time you

are on Facebook and you click that new “free” app, pay attention to what it wants access to.

I don’t personally have extra apps for Facebook and the primary reason is almost all of them want access to more information than is necessary, including your friends list. Pay attention to what those apps want access to before accepting.

Pot Calling the Kettle Black — Exactly one year ago, I wrote how the government gave internet service providers the ability to track and sell our internet browsing data, yet members of Congress grilled the Facebook CEO for essentially the same thing. We need consistency in our legislation that protects our privacy and data online.

I believe challenges will continue to arise since some of our elected officials in the highest roles of government are not keeping up to speed with evolving technology, but are tasked with oversight.

The long-term ramifications for Facebook are still unknown.

There was a campaign called #DeleteFacebook in the immediate aftermath, but make no mistake, this won’t end with Facebook. I expect investigations to spread to other tech companies whose primary services are “free” to you, the consumer, but use your data for hyper-specific advertisements aimed right at you.

FILM • “Rock & Roll on The Ed Sullivan Show, 1955-1970” “The Ed Sullivan Show” (CBS, 1948-1971) was a landmark television program, and unquestionably one of the most important chronicles of mid-20th century popular culture.

The Motion Picture, Broadcast and Recorded Sound Division of the Library of Congress acquired master material - original 16mm kinescopes and 2-inch video tape - of all 1030 hours of the show from the former owner, Sofa Entertainment, and simultaneously arranged to purchase new Beta SP preservation video copies. This program of rock and roll legends on the show includes Bo Diddley, Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Sam, Cooke, The Everly Brothers, Fats Domino, The Beatles, The Beach Boys, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, Sly and the Family Stone, The Band, The Temptations, The Supremes, Santana, Ike & Tina Turner plus 16 more artists.

Director Preston Sturges coaxed Lloyd out of retirement to star in “The Sin of Harold Diddlebock,” a comedy he wrote with Lloyd in mind. It opens with footage cleverly lifted from Lloyd’s 1925 silent classic “The Freshman” in which Harold’s go-getting character scores the triumphant winning touchdown for his college football team. The film was reedited and reissued in 1950 as “Mad Wednesday.” 77 min. 7: 30 p.m.Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

SAFE educates community on Child Abuse Prevention This past Saturday, April 14, Services To Abused Families, Inc. held their 7th Annual Spring Into Awareness event in hopes to educate the community on Child Abuse Prevention.

Every April, for Child Abuse Prevention Month, SAFE strives to bring and spread the importance of this month the community. They do so by holding a free event jam packed with all kinds of fun for all ages; while in turn making sure the families that attend go home with information about their organization as well as providing an opportunity for them to connect with other resources in our own community.

The effects of child abuse has touched the lives of everyone whether directly or indirectly and SAFE is more than thankful for the outpouring support from the communities they serve as this event continues to grow year after year.

SAFE would like to extend their utmost gratitude to all groups and individuals that helped make this event the amazing success that it was. There were over 350 adults and children that flowed through this event and there was something for everyone. Activities included, a face-painting and tattoo station, a moon bounce obstacle course,

bracelet/necklace making station, numerous cakewalks, car seat safety check, kid IDs, free food and music entertainment, double-dutch, and the opportunity to explore the several safety vehicles as well as a UVA Pegasus helicopter. SAFE would like to again, thank all of the donors, volunteers and staff, vendors, and supporters of this event.

➤ Genealogy, from Page 15 and traditions through which they reverence their dead ancestors. All Souls Day, Memorial Day, and Dia de los Muertos are holiday celebrations that incorporate the remembrance of the deceased.

Whether placing a stone or laying a wreath on a grave, leaving a token at a war memorial, burning incense, lighting a candle, flipping through an old photo album, performing rituals in a church, rites in a temple, or even shedding a few tears while watching the movie “Coco” – many of us have participated in practices meant to honor the dead and can understand the longing to remember our loved ones and to be remembered ourselves.

Family history research is a natural extension of the almost universal human need to feel connected and it starts with preserving the records of our ancestors’ lives.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints began collecting genealogical records in 1938. Available for free on the website, FamilySearch. org, the collection now contains about 3.5 billion images of U.S. and international records.

Efforts to digitize the 2.4 million rolls of existing microfilm are expected to be complete within the next few years.

As images are digitized they are indexed through the efforts of 1.15 million volunteers who type names

and information from each record into a searchable database that is then published on FamilySearch.org.

Additional records are captured and preserved every day using 362 digital cameras operating all over the world.

Teaching people how to access and use these records is an effort that local Latter-day Saints take seriously. Congregations in the Fredericksburg area have sponsored the Fredericksburg Family History Day conference for several years.

Hundreds have attended this free community event to learn more about conducting their own family history research.

For 2018, the one-day conference has been replaced with a series of three workshops, all free and open to the public.

The first workshop about census research, will be on Saturday, April 21, from 2-4 p.m. at The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints at 1710 Bragg Road in Fredericksburg.

Following the one-hour presentation, experienced volunteers will be available to assist attendees with their own research in a hands-on computer lab.

Workshops on African-American research and record preservation will follow in June and August.

More information can be found on the Fredericksburg Family History Day Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/ fredericksburgfamilyhistoryconference

FamilySearch also operates more than 5,000 local family history centers where patrons can receive one-on-one assistance with their research and access several subscription databases, including Ancestry.com, for free.

The Culpeper Family History Center is located inside the chapel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints, behind the hospital, at 420 Willow Lawn Drive. Call 540-825-2506 for more information.

new local breeds and varieties.

In the vanilla/spice farm that we visited, we discovered that they are a wholly integrated unit.

The cattle they have are unique to the agricultural environment for the rainforest and the location where the farm is located, the cattle are provided the feed and herbs they need to produce the manure that is required as compost to fertilize the soil for producing the best variety of vanilla as well as other spices. They grow their own plants to be used as natural pesticides, such as a variety of ginger, not for human consumption, but for insects to ingest the leaves so that they do not eat the producing plants.

Biodynamics works in conjunction with the Earth and the Cosmos, or so those who use this means of farming believe. Biodynamic farmers and gardeners observe and use the rhythms of the earth, sun, moon, stars and planets to understand the ways in which the environment and cosmos influence the growth of plants and animals. There are biodynamical calendars that support this awareness and understanding of the best astronomical times to begin sowing, transplanting, cultivating and harvesting.

Biodynamics has its own standard of certification named the Demeter Biodynamics Standard for certification and is managed worldwide by Demeter International. Over 5,000 farms covering my than 400,000 acres are certified in 60 countries. They utilize the USDA organic standard and then carry it a bit further. The requirements to be a certified as a biodynamic farm are; the whole farm and not just a specific crop is certified, crops and livestock are integrated and animals are treated humanely, imported fertility is kept to a minimum, biodynamic preparations are regularly applied, at least 50% of livestock feed is grown on the farm and at least 10% of the total farm acreage is set aside for biodiversity and the farm upholds the standards of social responsibility.

Tea plantations, cocoa plantations, spice plantations, and vineyards are all beginning to use biodynamic farming as a means of self-sufficient and holistic farming. At present we sell some biodynamic tea at the Frenchman’s Corner, both Biodynamic Ginger and Biodynamic Chamomile. Now you know how these teas were produced.

The principles of biodynamic farming can be applied anywhere that food can be grown or raised with thoughtful adaptation given to scale, landscape, climate and culture.
