COMMUNITY NEWS

Powell Wellness Center hosts community Walk 10K Powell Wellness Center invites the community to participate in Walk 10K, an annual worldwide walking challenge that in 2019 will take place May 6-12. Participants in Walk 10K are encouraged to walk 10,000 steps a day for a total of 70,000 in a week.

The walking challenge is open to individuals and groups of all ages including schools, businesses and clubs.

Walk 10K is sponsored by the Medical Fitness Association (MFA) to promote walking as a low-impact physical activity with many health benefits. As a member of the MFA, Powell Wellness Center hosted Walk 10K in 2017 and 2018, leading to a grand total of 74,000,000 steps taken by local walkers.

“We’d like to encourage everyone in Culpeper to join us in the 2019 challenge. We’re proud to support this initiative by the MFA and it’s great to see the participation in Walk 10K each year,” said Eric Good, Director of Powell Wellness Center. “Walk 10K is all about getting up and moving at a level of intensity that is comfortable for you.

While 10,000 steps a day is the goal, you can set your own personal goal and use the challenge to start a new, healthy routine. Every step counts – get up and move around your home or workplace for 10 minutes, or park your car further from a store entrance. Walk around the block with a family member or friend. Even these little things can make a difference and improve your fitness,” added Good.

The benefits of walking are many, including reduced risk of heart disease and stroke by reducing cholesterol, improving blood pressure, and promoting weight loss. Walking also helps build stronger bones and muscles and improve balance. Moreover, it costs nothing, is low impact, is appropriate for all ages, and can be done anywhere.

Participants who register and report their steps to Powell Wellness Center will be entered in a drawing for prizes.

This year, prizes include passes to Culpeper Sport & Fitness for small group personal training and pickleball, and personal training sessions, adult swim lessons, smoothies and logo water bottles from Powell Wellness Center.

Schools that participate will receive 50 pedometers to track participants’ steps. Schools that achieve 1,500,000 steps or more will receive a $500 grant from Culpeper Wellness Foundation to support the school’s physical education program.

Country Club of Culpeper announces new changes

Riley Reynolds (Editor's note: This is weekly series highlighting members of Culpeper's Youth Council.

To join Culpeper Youth, go to www.culpeperyouth.org to apply.)

The ¨Idea of More.¨Today at the Women’s Lift Event we were asked to think up something that we are ashamed of or something that brings us down, a weakness. I picked the “Idea of More”, the idea of having to be more, do more, and be seen for more can be a weakness. Some see it as my hunger for power or recognition, a vision of vanity. It can be a weakness in pushing myself to do too much. However, the Lift Event asked us to take our weakness and make an affirmation out of it.

Here is mine: Your idea of more drives you.

Your idea of more grounds you.

It allows you to escape and stay It teaches you It keeps you hopeful even when you didn’t get the acceptance letter, speech, or pomp and circumstance.

More gives you the strength when you get Less.

That is only one of the many takeaways I brought home with me after the Lift Event. With a theme of Diversity and Inclusion, a hostess with mostess Kelly Reagan, activity leaders Dr. Hortense Hinton-Jackson, Kienta Tibbs, and Sarah Bywaters-Baldwin, sponsor spotlight Jeff Hetmanski and Karyn O’Brien, and an incredible keynote speaker Cindy Hedges, the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce created an event in which I, a high school student leader felt so in tune and welcome in an event of “seasoned women”, career women, and SuperWomen. Which I thank them for.

The Country Club of Culpeper is pleased to announce a new collaboration with Powell Wellness Center. The social/pool members of CCC will enjoy a new level of professionalism as Powell Wellness Center takes over the management of the pool. The contract will include the training, scheduling and management of lifeguards as well as the normal daily maintenance of the pool. PWC will once again use CCC to complete their deep-water training and certification. CCC and PWC will be working together to cross-promote the membership benefits of each organization. “Having a respected organization like Powell Wellness Center manage our day-today pool operations will ensure that our members are provided the best experience possible while keeping everyone safe…certainly our first priority!” said General Manager, Kris Johnson.

The Country Club of Culpeper has hired a new Grounds Superintendent.

Mr. Gregg Sullivan comes to us most recently from Montclair but has over 26 years of golf course experience, 18 of which have been as a Superintendent, the last 9 of which have been in the Northern Virginia region. Gregg is experienced in all facets of managing and maintaining a golf course including but not limited to pesticide/ fertilizer application, irrigation practices and repair, turf care and equipment. “We look forward to working with Gregg along with our Director of Golf, Jim McGrath to continue the progress and improvements made to our golf course in the last couple of years.” Larry Lucas, CCC President.

Visitors to the Country Club of Culpeper’s website will soon see a whole new look! Construction of the new website has begun and should be finished by the end of April. The new website will provide increased visibility and better responsiveness as well as an improved experienced and a professional look at the amenities offered.

Step Up Accessories wins E-Squared competition

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Katherina Wilkins watched her father struggle to keep the ladder steady at Christmas time, precariously balancing it against a tree outside as he attempted to hang lights.

That image popped into her head when it came time for her E-Squared team to come up with a product to market - hence the Step Up Accessories Tree Hugger was born.

A ladder attachment that secures to trees and other round objects to increase ladder safety, the Tree Hugger team impressed judges with their fully functioning prototype.

The team won a $20,000 prize through Career Partners, which has hosted the E-Squared project for 11 years.

“This is very great, the fact we got to work together with this whole entire project was very helpful,” junior Osmond R-Melem said.

“The experience was a life changing one.”

Wilkins said that having a functional prototype was important to their victory. ➤ See E-Squared, Page 5

➤ E-Squared, from Page 5 “I think it’s awesome our product was successful,” Wilkins said. “That the (judges) saw a potential that it could make a difference in the world.”

The team, also including sophomores Preston Yoder and Saif Mohsin, worked with Ray’s Automotive and Ward’s Metal Fabricators to create the prototype that slipped over a ladder.

“It was more of the connections through our coaches, they were able to set up these connections and it was up to us to keep them,” R-Melem said. “We thank all the businesses that contributed to our project.”

The team also proposed a model for the home - called a home hugger to the team of seven judges.

The team secured the $20,000 scholarship money offered through E-Squared by asking the Shark Tank-like investors for $125,000 investment.

The team said they expected to sell the product for a $35 retail at retailers like Lowe’s and Home Depot.

Judge Ed Dalyrymple asked why the cost of producing the Tree Hugger never changed over five years factoring in inflation.

The team answered that by using the same manufacturer they hoped to lock in cost.

Judge Norm Laudermilch asked

if they had thought about adding a hinge to the product, which the team said they had already thought of.

Sophomore Preston Yoder said the team did hours of research and design to get it just right.

“We worked really well as a team, sometimes we fell apart but we always worked through it,” Yoder said.

Sophomore Saif Mohsin praised coaches George Dasher and E-Squared Alumni Katelyn Lacy for their assistance.

“They helped a lot, they showed us a lot about design,” Mohsin said.

This is the second year in a row Dasher has coached the winning team, last year helping guide Safe and Secure to the scholarship victory.

“I think what this shows us is how important a product is,” Dasher said.

“What is good about this team is they all embraced this product. They were all excited about it, so they were all eager to work their pieces.”

Five other teams were competing for the prize: Amacing Jewelry designed a necklace with pepper spray disguised as a pendant.

Jim Jacobson, executive director of The Culpeper, talks about the heritage of the organization and its new home that will host a grand opening May 10 from 2 to 4 p.m.

The Culpeper unveils striking new home May 10 ➤ Continuing Care Retirement community balances heritage with state-of-the-art amenities

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer When someone moves to The Culpeper, they are usually there for the rest of their life.

That’s why LifeSpire of Virginia wanted to make sure their stay will be one filled with comfort, care and camaraderie.

The Culpeper, a LifeSpire of Virginia continuing care retirement community in Culpeper, will celebrate the grand opening of its new building May 10 from 2-4 p.m.

“We are very excited to cut the ribbon and show off our new building,” said Jim Jacobsen, executive director of The Culpeper. The grand opening of the $33.5 million, 125,000-squarefoot project is scheduled two years to the day of the groundbreaking.

The celebration will feature a short program and ribbon cutting with plenty of opportunity for guests to tour the building, Jacobsen said. Various food stations scattered throughout the building will provide guests the opportunity to sample sweet and savory foods prepared by The Culpeper’s chefs.

The new building replaces the original brick structure built in the1940s and faces the Blue Ridge Mountains. Residents in the current building will transition to the new building in April.

Jacobsen recently gave a guided tour

through the new facility, pointing out all the new state-of-the-art amenities residents will be able to look forward to.

“When folks make a decision to move here, it’s because they want to move here,” Jacobsen said. “They want to move to a retirement community and not go to a temporary solution. This provides them the comfort for them and their families for the rest of their lives.”

Rose Meeks Wallace, Director of Marketing for The Culpeper, pointed out that The Culpeper is a true five-star continuing care retirement community, licensed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

Only 20 percent of nursing homes in America are rated five stars, and The Culpeper is the only one within a 50-mile radius that is able to say that.

“With a continuing care retirement community, you go through four to five levels of care,” Wallace said.

Residents can start off with independent living, in one of the 27 cottages on the property. They can then progress to assisted living and there is also secure memory care with 32 residences that provide private, secure suites.

Long term nursing care and a separate rehab to home program rounds out the levels.

The brainchild of Culpeper Baptist Church pastor Dr. James Thomas Edwards in 1931, The Culpeper opened in 1948 at the Milliman House in Culpeper. In 1946, 98 acres of land was purchased and in April 1951 the current location was opened. Now 70 years old, it was time to upgrade - but they wanted to be able to keep the rich history alive. They incorpo➤ See The Culpeper, Page 7

➤ The Culpeper, from Page 6 rated many familiar aspects of the old building - including a heritage wall as soon as you enter the front of the new building.

“One of the really important things is that we wanted to tell our story, we are a faithbased, non profit continuing care retirement community,” Jacobsen said. “One of the really important things for the community was to keep the heritage going. We never want residents to forget where we came from. What we’ve done here is we’ve done a heritage wall, we’re telling our story right here.”

The old facility will be razed come Fall, opening up a new view for residents to be able to see the Blue Ridge Mountains.

There are 133 units at The Culpeper with a wait list that’s truly impressive. Wallace said there is a priority membership list that has close to 40 people on it and they are actively working with about 300 people.

“There’s 10,000 folks turning 65 and older every day,” Jacobsen said. “That being true, the senior population continues to grow in Culpeper and surrounding areas. We are the only continuing care community here.”

“We have become a destination community,” Wallace said. “We’re off the I-95 corridor and we are also the eighth growing spot in Virginia. We have residents who move here whose children live in Northern Virginia.”

The old building faced Route 15, but the new building has been flipped so residents have a scenic view of the majestic Blue Ridge Mountain vista.

Walking through the main floor, the assembly room stands out as stained glass from the old building’s chapel shine with backlit LED lights.

“We met with the residents early on and asked what was important to them, they said they never wanted to forget how we were founded,” Jacobsen said.

Everything is state-of-the-art. Multiple dining venues greet visitors, whether they want a sit down meal in the spacious main dining hall or a quick snack at the Village Cafe.

“We created multiple dining venues,” Jacobsen said. “There’s a Village Cafe, named after Village Loop, that’s a comfortable casual opportunity for families to get steak subs and salmon and milkshakes.”

Further down the hallway, a salon offers residents a chance to be pampered.

The whole building is WiFi connected and areas are wired for Ipad connections.

“Ten years ago you wouldn’t think that, but now there’s a larger percentage of them into that,” Jacobsen said of technology savvy seniors. “They use that to communicate with their grandkids.”

The staff and residents are equally excited about the new building, Wallace said. She pointed out that many staff have worked here for 20 to 30 years.

“It feels like family here,” Jacobsen said.

“We have so much longevity.”

“They’ve delivered five star care, now they’ll have a five star product to deliver it at,” Wallace said.

The Culpeper employs 150 people and is looking to add 45 new positions. The building is a true one-stop shop for residents, who never have to leave if they don’t want to.

“They are here for life, that’s probably 98 percent of our residents,” Jacobsen said.

The new facility at The Culpeper boasts a dynamic dining room with an exhibition kitchen.

“They are here until they find a better place in heaven. With our community, you can come as an independent but when you need help we are a 24-hour operation.”

Wallace said they do direct admissions into higher levels of care, so a resident doesn’t have to start in independent care and move up. The secure memory facility is one they are extremely proud of - offering 32 rooms for those who may have dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease.

Walking through the building, visitors are greeted by the grand scale of the dining room with vaulted ceilings and an exhibition kitchen. Residents can watch chefs grill steaks and there’s a private room for residents to host their families if they so choose.

Designed by THW, out of Atlanta, Ga., the entire building is modern, but yet has a homey feel.

Jacobsen pointed out the 16 physical rehab to home units, mentioning how they are in high demand.

“Those are dedicated residences for people who go to the hospital for a hip or knee replacement, and they need to go to rehab, they can come here to the five-star nursing home,” Jacobsen said.

“We have people schedule their surgeries around when they can get it,” Wallace said.

“It’s like a five-star hotel.”

The new building has a very local feel to it, with photos of the mountains and local barns adorning the directionals that lead residents down wings called “Main” and “Davis” streets.

Wallace said a fundraiser is currently ongoing to sell stained glass windows for $10,000 to $25,000 to benefit their benevolent ministry.

“One thing our organization has always been known for is providing benevolence,” Jacobsen said.

“When folks run out of money, at no fault of their own, we provide financial support for them for the rest of their lives. That’s something the foundation is very proud of. But it takes money.”

The whole new facility took $33 million to build, with Jacobsen pointing out it would have taken $20 million to refurbish the old building just to bring it up to code.

Now, they have a truly remarkable building that residents can call home.

HISTORY New Louisiana 16 developments ZANN’S PLACE

There has been a new at least potentially new development in the Louisiana 16 Project. The most exciting thought is that it could pertain to the Culpeper identity of the Plus One: Jenny Culpeper/Cook. For sure, it could mean absolutely nothing, but I seriously doubt it.

I write consistently about the information that resides in the possession of descendants in the attics, basements and other” don’t-want-togo-there kind” of places. Or it could be as in this case that the folks knew they had the material, but for one reason or another had not before examined same.

Nonetheless, the excitement of learning new information that could lead to 2019_Gnarly_Ad_TIMES.pdf 4/1/19 solving ancestral clues is thrilling!1 I am

Zann Nelson

hoping you want to come along for the ride.

To briefly bring you up to speed I will offer a quick summary of where I am with the Louisiana 16 Plus One research. In 1834 two significant -to the research- occurred. First, William Taylor, originally from Orange County, Virginia and later settled in Louisiana, purchased an estimated sixteen enslaved people from his distant cousin, the former President James Madison.

Then in October of that same year, Taylor married Lucy Lewis Thom of Berry Hill in Culpeper County and proceeded to Louisiana. My research has identified several former slaves owned by Taylor and documented to have been born in Virginia. Their ages in 1834 would have made them prime candidates to work in the sugar and cotton fields. The Plus One is a woman named Jenny who is thought to have come with Lucy from Berry Hill. The 9:58 AM investigations have led me to several

Louisiana descendants of these families.

However, there remain gaps.

One of those gaps is Jenny and her family that she certainly left behind at Berry Hill. I had searched the Culpeper County court records for indications of sales or gifts and came up emptyhanded. As you probably can guess, many such transfers of property were not recorded. Yet, recently, I received an email from a descendant of the Thom family, and I am over the moon with hope.

There are letters, papers and an account book from Berry Hill and there may be additional documentation from Lucy Thom and William Taylor’s records in Louisiana. I won’t know for a month or so as the Thom descendants review all their archives, but they are more than willing to share the findings. I am seeing more and more of this kind of outreach and am extremely grateful as it makes giant steps in uniting us as Americans all who have contributed to

the making of this country!

Depending on what they find we could learn the names of Jenny’s family members who were left behind in Culpeper; histories of others enslaved at Berry Hill and additional documentation for those who were enslaved in Louisiana.

I remember a time before cell phones and the Internet and when making long-distance phone calls was prohibitively expensive, I would walk to the mailbox every day looking for a particular letter. I learned my lesson about the “watch pot that never boils.” I will put this anticipation out my mind for now but will happily share all the results when they become available.

Until next week, be well.

SUMMER CAMPS Windmore Foundation offering Summer Musical Theater Camp

By Fran Cecere Special to the Culpeper Times The mission of Windmore Foundation for the Arts is to promote the visual, literary, and performing arts through awareness, participation, and education.

Windmore primarily serves the Virginia counties of Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange, and Rappahannock.

This is the third year that Windmore Foundation is offering a Summer Musical Theater Camp at Verdun Adventure Bound located at 17044 Adventure Bound Trail, Rixeyville.

The children attending will learn all aspects of theater including auditioning, set design, promotion, producing the performance program, costume design, and more. It is an all day camp for children ages

5 through 17.

This year the play is Seusscial, Jr. by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty based on Dr. Seuss stories.

The younger campers, age 5 to 7 have a one-week theatre camp from June 10-14.

The campers will experience music and theatre in the morning from 9 a.m. to noon, and a Young Explorers week with arts and crafts from noon to 3 p.m. with Verdun Staff.

The older group, ages 8-17 will have a two-week theatre camp June 3 through 14 from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

They also have one half-day adventure camp on June 1 from 12 noon to 5 p.m. That day, the Verdun Staff will introduce them to Team Work and Leadership Skills in a group setting.

There will be two performance of the play is June 15, one at 11AM

and the other at 6PM. Rain date is June 16.

Both groups will be in the two performances on June 15, at the Verdun Anne Marie Sheridan Amphitheater.

Summer Camps

Culpeper Times • April 25-May 1, 2019

Salvation Army's Camp Happyland provides life lessons Children living in poverty face many problems during the summer months. They are at greater risk of hunger insecurity because they do not have access to school cafeterias.

They are at greater risk for injury or getting into trouble because adults are more likely to be unattended during the day. They are more likely to experience isolation and poor health because they stay in-doors.

Camp offers a powerful solution to these problems. A summer camp provides meals, counselors, and a new group of friends.

A study by the American Camping Association indicates that long term life changes occur in children who attend summer camp. The study “Youth Development Outcomes in the Camp Experience” examines 5,000 families from over 80 ACA- accredited camps, exploring changes is four key areas: Positive Identity; Social Skills; Physical and Thinking Skills; and Positive Values and Spirituality. Results show that children typically experience growth in all four areas, even long after the camp experience was over.

The Salvation Army has long believed in the power of summer camps, which is why we operate 45 camps throughout the United States.

Campers participate in activities including swimming, arts and crafts, music lessons, sports, dance, hiking, wilderness camping, boating, fishing, Bible study, and much more. Many kids who attend these camps have never experienced anything like it in their lives. And nearly all of them walk away with invaluable life and social skills that give them hope for a brighter future.

Camp Happyland is no average campground. We own two ponds, a river, pool, nature center, climbing wall, sports fields, and cabins and activity buildings with utilities; all stretched out on 635 acres of beautiful woodland. 75 employees worked together to serve 968 children last year. Some children attended twice, resulting in 1288 weeks of camp provided for children out of a maximum capacity of 1352 weeks possible. Salvation Army officers from all over Virginia and Washington DC spend a full week of camp duty every year in order to ensure the highest possible quality of program. Happyland invests a budget of about 1.7 million a year into children.

Our local plan is to broadcast an invitation to camp far and wide so that as many kids as possible are able to take advantage of this tre-

mendous opportunity. Our most important partnership for connecting with children will be the Boys and Girls Club. We will send flyers to children’s parents and then our social worker will go on-site to sign up kids when the parents come over several evenings. We will also extend an invitation to the client families who have received Salvation Army services through Angel Tree, food pantry, and utilities assistance.

We will place information in the newspaper and advertise it at our family stores, e-mail blast, texting our volunteer base and email blasts through Partners for Community Resources and Healthy Culpeper.

With this communications plan, we

hope to sign up 60 children for Camp Happyland. This represents a significant increase over the 34 local children we sent to Happyland in 2017.

We will provide transportation to camp on Monday and back on Saturday. There are several weeks available so that families can choose the best time for them. There are different camps every week, starting June 17 and ending July 27. These unique camps offer a broad range of options, such as sports camp, leadership, wilderness camping, and badge work similar to Boy Scouts. The age range of each camp is different, but depending on the camp, we invite children starting at age 6 up to teenagers at age 17.

What’s Happening 4/18•4/24

GNARLY HOPS AND BARLEY FESTIVAL • Culpeper Renaissance Inc. presents the seventh annual festival.

“Night Nurse”(Warner Bros., 1931) In one of her best early roles, sassy Barbara Stanwyck and wisecracking Joan Blondell play a pair of private nurses, hired to look after two sick children at the mansion of their alcoholic socialite mother. They come to discover a fiendish plot afoot involving an unscrupulous doctor and the brutish family chauffeur (a young Clark Gable in one of his most impressive early roles). William A. Wellman directed this crime drama, the first of five films he made with Stanwyck. 35mm film print produced by the Library of Congress Film Preservation Lab in 2017 from original negatives. 72 min. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken.

FILM • “Tomka and His Friends” (Shqipëria e Re, 1977) The shorts and features of director Xhanfise Keko, all of which center on children’s themes and preoccupations, occupy a pivotal yet controversial place in Albanian cinema. These films were among the most popular of Albania’s Communist era, and remain widely loved. But this affection is now tempered with ambivalence about their association with an era many Albanians would prefer to forget.

Keko was the only female Albanian feature film director in the Kinostudio era, which ended in 1996. When

she died in 2007, she left behind a remarkable legacy of nearly a dozen features virtually unknown to outside audiences. Preserved by the Library of Congress Film Preservation Lab in 2015 in coordination with the Albanian National Film Archive and the Albanian Cinema Project. 74 min. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken.

FILM • Pre-Code Double Feature

Recently graduated and newly married, Young insists that husband/jazz band leader Frank Albertson take a promising job in Paris while she pursues a business career in New York. The separation strains their marriage, much to the delight of Young’s boss Ricardo Cortez, who has his own designs on his lovely protégé.

Will Young’s ambition get the better of her or will she get the better of the men in her life? Featuring Joan Blondell in a scene-stealing supporting role. 35mm film print preserved by the Library of Congress Film Preservation Lab in 2016 from original negatives. 75 min. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken.

FILM • “National Velvet”(MGM, 1944) This enduring family classic based on the novel by Enid Bagnold was directed by Clarence Brown and stars Elizabeth Taylor as a young girl whose sole ambition to run her horse in the Grand National Steeplechase. Although "National Velvet" was the first starring role for 11-year-old Taylor, the early part of the film belongs to Mickey Rooney in the showier role of Mi Taylor, a headstrong English ex-jockey soured on life by a

serious accident. Anne Revere, who won a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance, co-stars as Velvet's mother and veteran actor Donald Crisp plays her father. “National Velvet” was added to the National Film Registry in 2003. 35mm archival film print. 123 min. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken. 2 p.m.

FILM • ““The Road Back” (Universal, 1937) "The Road Back" was the sequel to Erich Maria Remarque's famous novel "All Quiet on the Western Front." Director James Whale, himself a WWI veteran, intended his film to equal the success of the earlier novel's celebrated 1930 film adaptation, directed by Lewis Milestone and produced by Carl Laemmle, Jr. for Universal. But before he could produce Whale's film, Laemmle, Jr. was forced out of Universal in 1936; this 1937 release was severely altered by the new studio regime under Charles R. Rogers, bowing to pressure from the German market to remove "anti-German" material (the Nazis had banned Remarque's novel) and padding out the comedic content.

The Library of Congress has restored the uncut version that represents Whale's original vision, a powerful film of German soldiers returning home from the Great War to a shattered country, and their struggles to re-adjust to society. The film stars John King, Richard Cromwell, Slim Summerville, Spring Byington and Andy Devine.

35mm print preserved by the Library of Congress Film Preservation Lab in 2016 with funding from the Film Foundation.

VIEWS My Favorite Tourist Trap THE MARSHALL PLAN

It was somewhere south of Virginia when the memories Marshall Conner kicked in and nautical twilight crept in like a night light at the end of a dark hallway. It was the time of morning when the road is populated by sleepy truckers, travelers and blue-collar types heading in to work.

A fresh cup of coffee heightened the senses and stirred the memory vault.

A mind finds interesting landing zones when hundreds of miles await your car’s rolling tires.

Grammy winner Shawn Colvin and I once had a conversation about the importance of road trips and road trip music selections backstage at the Birchmere.

I told her I liked listening to her songs on early morning drives.

Early mornings are for angsty singer-songwriters, jazz or radio sermons.

“A person’s road-trip music selection is one of the most important components of a trip, it sets the mood,” Colvin told me. “I’m honored you featured my songs on your early morning fishing trip drives. Travel mixes are serious business.”

As my car crossed the Virginia/ North Carolina border I began to see the signs, the first of approximately 175 billboards urging me to stop at South of the Border.

My music shifted from Sarah Jarosz to John Prine.

When I was a child my family often drove long distances on I-95—our journeys tended to be moves (Army family) or vacations to Florida. Our Ford Maverick was usually packed with pets, suitcases and a few fishing poles.

My dad liked to listen to Civil War campfire songs and the Carpenters.

Kids today cannot fathom the creativity, resilience and patience it took to drive hundreds of miles with family. The levels of boredom, laughter, agitation and fastfood odors were mind-blowing.

Today, a kid can easily stare at a smartphone for eight-straight hours and be perfectly cool with burning through your data plan like one of Daenerys Targaryen’s dragons torching goats.

In my childhood, my brothers and I had a simple, yet relentless mission… to read all the corny South of the Border billboards until either my mother or father stopped. It was pure ad-inspired psyche-ops.

As kids we listened to the Muppets Band, Elvis, Ray Charles, and the soundtrack for Jaws.

In midlife, I can still hear my late dad telling me to “ignore the tourist traps and lure of rubber reptiles.”

I stop now, because I can. Sorry dad.

I admit I have no shame—it’s selfies with giant gorillas, Pedro and a few dinosaurs.

My music shifts to rebellion and bass—with Peter Tosh, Specials, Pogues, Clash and Black Sabbath.

No tourist trap has the historic swag as South of the Border. In many ways it is a perfect blend of Americana and nacho cheese.

It’s the Donald Trump of tourist traps—it is ridiculous, oddly effective, culturally offensive, politically incorrect, brash, hilarious, slightly shady and strangely David Lynch-esque.

It’s a poor man’s Vegas, a kid’s junky-toy wonderland and a dad humor mecca--- all in one-exit.

Where else can you get a burrito, whoopie-cushion, taffy and a giant fly swatter?

To the north are sleepy little

towns in North Carolina, to the south a speed-trap known as Dillion, SC. South of the Border is an iconic southern stop that rescues the mood when you’re sad about returning home from cool places like Charleston, Savannah or Florida’s beaches. It slays boredom!

Annually about 8 million people stop at South of the Border---for selfish motives. So, it’s not just me.

Since it’s humble origin as a border beer stand next to a dry county in 1949, South of the Border, the brain-child of the late businessman Alan Schafer flourished with the construction of I-95 until the present day. Over the years, it has endured recessions and boom times—all the while retaining a kitschy charm that has drawn tired drivers off the interstate like a giant neon bugzapper since the 1960s.

Good times? Raise the prices.

Bad times? Lower the prices.

Critics of South of the Border, most notably the Mexican Embassy, have mounted various efforts over the years to soften many of stop’s more culturally-questionable aspects—the late owner chalked it up to Baby Boomers lacking a sense of humor.

I’d probably feel the same if there was a place with a giantneon-kilted Scotsman. Then again?

On my last trip I bought my son a plastic Viking helmet, my daughter a frog hat, a Trump stress ball, four rubber lizards and a South of the Border t-shirt that reads— “You never Sausage a Place. You are always a Wiener at South of the Border.” All items brought smiles.

Decades ago I bought a rubbertipped spear, peanuts and a Gadhafi puppet.

The feeling remains the same.

The B-52s, Miles Davis, Jimmy Cliff, Prince and Kool Moe Dee kept me awake as I drove north.

Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department Fair and Parade returns to Brandy Station After a two-year absence, the Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department Annual Fair and Parade will return to Brandy Station in 2019. The Fire Department membership recently chose to once again have this annual fundraising event and finalized a contract with a midway provider.

The 2019 Fair will be held Aug. 7–10, 2019. The annual Parade will be on Thursday evening August 8th. With schools reopening in Culpeper County on Aug. 12, our fair would be an excellent opportunity to enjoy some family fun just before the kids return!

The Fire Department has signed a contract with RC Cole Shows Amusements from Covington, Virginia to provide the midway. Cole Shows Amusement Company has been supplying magnificent amusement ride midways to Fairs, Festivals and Corporate Events across Virginia for over twenty-five years. They most recently appeared in Vienna, Virginia at the Viva Vienna Festival, the Fauquier County Fair in Warrenton, Virginia, the Shenandoah County Fair in Woodstock, Virginia, in Orange, Virginia at the Orange Volunteer Fire Company Fair, and the Arlington County Fair in Arlington, Virginia. We are extremely thrilled to have this fine show provide its amusements for our event this summer.

The Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department was founded and chartered in 1951. The Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary sponsored the first carnival in August 1951, later turning that responsibility over to the firemen in August of 1955.

The Fire Department has received numerous requests over the last two years to resume this traditional event. The fair can take you down memory lane. It is a nostalgic event for “older” folks and younger ones alike. The fair is a means to cement relationships with friends and neighbors who are kept apart by busy schedules throughout the year.

More details about the Brandy Station Volunteer Open Daily at 11 a.m. Closed on Monday

11am-4pm everyday

Weekly Tarotscope - April 18 Knight of Cups, 2 of Swords TAROTSCOPES

We’re closing out the month Cara Cutro of April with some big and positive changes.

If you’re feeling disillusioned, it’s time to focus on the now. Take things one day at a time. The Wheel of Fortune is traditionally thought of as a card related to good luck, and it often can signify a change of fortune. I prefer to see it as a reminder that we are existing in a world that is constantly changing and that change comes in cycles. If we are able to tap into the energy of this and align ourselves with the divine, then yes, absolutely the best outcomes will be had. You can access this by remaining focused on what’s right in front of you. Be present in the day and trust. In this way we are prepared for whatever life puts in front of us. This is when the magic happens that brings good fortune.

The Hermit is shedding light from his lantern of wisdom on

the path that leads to the Wheel of Fortune. The Hermit indicates a time of reflection, meditation, and stillness. In order to tap into the good fortune represented in The Wheel, we must do some soul searching about what’s really important. This may take some time, and that’s okay. The Hermit suggests that we seek answers from our inner life, so refrain from seeking outside of yourself for guidance, unless you are dealing with someone of wise counsel. Meditation and time spent in contemplation will bring us into correct alignment with the gifts available through these changing cycles.

Cara Cutro is a spirit centered teacher and life coach residing in Sperryville, VA. She is an herbalist, massage therapist, reiki master, intuitive counselor, tarot reader, and the owner of Abracadabra Massage & Wellness and the Wisdomkeepers School. For a full list of services or to setup an appointment with her or one of her team members, book online www. caracadabra.com or call 540-8787085.
