LOCAL NEWS Durrer sworn in as 16th Circuit Court Judge

By Jeff Say

Culpeper Times Staff Writer Madison native Dale Durrer’s attributes of diligence and fairness have defined his career as a judge.

Now, those hallmarks will serve him well as he was sworn in a Circuit Court Judge for the 16th Judicial District of Virginia June 28.

Judge Susan Whitlock, presiding over Durrer’s investiture Friday, called it a “wonderful day for this court and a great day for the Commonwealth.”

Durrer, a former Culpeper general district court judge, was praised by his fellow judges for his steadfastness for upholding the law and interpreting it fairly for the region.

Durrer replaces Circuit Court Judge Daniel Bouton, who has served as a mentor to the new judge for many years.

“I’ve known him since he was 10 years-old,” said Bouton, one of 16 judges who participated in the ceremony.

Bouton continued to advise Durrer during the ceremony, reminding him of his place as a judge.

“There’s a difference between doing important work and being an important person,” he said. “It’s a great deal of responsibility, shoulder it with grace and set an as good

Durrer’s love of Elvis and the New York Yankees was invoked multiple times as the judges praised him for his work ethic, attention to detail and his sense of responsibility and caring nature toward all those that approach him at the bench.

Durrer, a 1990 graduate of Madison County High School, pointed

to his family - his wife Holly and daughters Lilly and Ava - as his rock.

He also noted Bouton’s influence.

“If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t be standing here,” Durrer said. ““I will do my very best to uphold the honor of the office. When I think of the shoes I have to fill it is a very awesome task for me.”

Durrer is a graduate of Piedmont

Virginia Community College and the University of Virginia, both in Charlottesville. He is a former deputy in the Culpeper County Commonwealth’s Attorney’s Office and is an adjunct professor at American University. Former Orange prosecutor and defense attorney Teresa Carter will replace Durrer in Culpeper as general district court judge.

COMMUNITY NEWS

Nonprofits awarded $250,000 from NPCF Building on its success from last year, Northern Piedmont Community Foundation recently awarded $250,000 through the Community Assistance Grant cycle. Funded by the PATH Foundation to support projects that are immediate in nature and alleviate hardship, this program has awarded half a million dollars so far to nonprofits serving Culpeper, Fauquier and Rappahannock counties.

While grants are awarded to organizations fulfilling an abundance of needs, most awards have an emphasis on the health and human service fields.

This year, approximately $72,000 was presented to six Culpeper-based organizations through Community Assistance Grants. Award amounts range from $1,500 - $25,000.

The Free Clinic of Culpeper was awarded $22,250 to fund a Community Health Worker who creates customized health plans for a specific client base.

Referrals come from the Free Clinic and Culpeper Hospital ER Social Workers. This exiting pilot program addresses the overuse of the Culpeper Medical Center Emergency Department for non-emergency and chronic care.

The Empowering Culpeper Food Distribution project at People Incorporated continues to supplement the end of the month gap for families and the elderly using SNAP or depending on a limited fixed income.

This year the program was awarded $1,500 in support of the more than 5,000 individuals who benefit from the food distribution.

The Salvation Army’s Social Services Operations was awarded $13,320 in support of existing programs including utilities assistance, food orders, summer camp and Angel Tree.

“Northern Piedmont Community Foundation is delighted to assist our nonprofit organizations as they pursue their mission of making Culpeper County even more vibrant” said Jane Bowling-Wilson, the Foundation’s Executive Director. “We are extremely fortunate for the PATH Foundation’s partnership to make Community Assistance Grant awards possible.

Together, we’ve all made a lasting difference in the lives of individuals and families in the region. Working with other groups to solve ongoing problems makes a greater community impact and we are thrilled to partner with the PATH Foundation on this and other projects.”

On Thursday, June 28, the Culpeper County Republican Committee voted unanimously to censure Senators Vogel and Hanger for their votes to fund abortion providers and Medicaid expansion.

On Wednesday May 30, 2018 Senator Vogel and Senator Hanger voted for a 100 billion dollar state budget best associated with liberal Democrats, which provides up to 12 million dollars in public funding for abortion providers, includes over 600 million dollars in new taxes, and fully implements Obamacare’s Medicaid Expansion within the Commonwealth of Virginia.

The resolution further called for Senators Vogel and Hanger to be stripped of their committees, calls for their resignation, and further commits the CCRC will not support their future campaigns for elected office.

“These votes were in direct violation of the Virginia Republican Party Creed. These Senators double crossed their party and Virginia taxpayers,” said CCRC Chairman Jon Russell.

WorkCamp allows students to follow in Jesus' footsteps

By Jeff Say

Culpeper Times Staff Writer Beatrice Wellington marveled at the work being done outside her front door.

Outside on her porch, a team of teens from the Catholic Diocese of Arlington put up support beams for a new structure through the WorkCamp 2018 program.

The program, operated by the Diocese, put 830 teenagers to work throughout the area making 120 homes safer and drier.

This year’s 135 projects include everything from replacing a roof for a disabled man to painting a house and weatherproofing windows for a single father with six children.

Wellington applied for the program through the Foothills Housing Association and was amazed at the work being done by the team.

“It’s a blessing,” Wellington said. “ I have to go outside to use my telephone. That’s where I go out all summer long to make my calls. It got to the point where I was scared that I was going to fall through.”

BIZ BIO The People of Wellspring: Lisa Harnum, MD Culpeper has a new pediatrician with a familiar face.

Lisa Harnum, MD, a resident of Culpeper for nearly two decades, has finally decided to plant her professional roots close to her personal ones by joining Wellspring Health Services as the system’s pediatrician.

If you’ve been to a downtown Culpeper event, you’ve likely seen Harnum, her husband Joe, and daughter Jenna joining in the fun.

“I grew up in a small town, so I love the small town feel of Culpeper, with all of its incredible restaurants and shops,” Harnum said. “I really love the events that bring people downtown, and I love that Culpeper is close enough to major cities, museums, and airports that we aren’t isolated.”

In her new position at Wellspring, Harnum will be able to bring her love for keeping families healthy home to roost after 14 years with a pediatric practice in Manassas.

“I enjoyed my practice in Manassas, but my commute was too time-

consuming,” Harnum said. “When I found out about an opportunity to join Wellspring I was excited—Wellsping has developed a strong reputation in the Culpeper community.”

Wellspring’s reputation for providing patient-centered, personal care will be enhanced through Harnum’s approach to her practice.

“I believe that children have incredible potential and that a partnership between a pediatrician and parents is one of the important ways to help them realize this potential,” Harnum said. “I truly enjoy getting to know my patients and their parents personally—that bond helps both myself and the parents to know the best way to help their child.”

So next time you’re strolling down Davis Street and see Dr. Harnum and her family—and chances are, you will—be sure to say “welcome home.”

Wellington said her late husband John used the ramp when he was no longer able to walk and that it had been put in my the Lions Club. It was still in good repair, but the porch had rotten and broken board.

That’s where WorkCamp contractor Brian Hellman came into play with his team of teens coming in June 25 and working through the week to have the porch rebuilt.

On Tuesday, they had the old porch removed and were putting up new support beams and getting ready to pour concrete to anchor the porch.

“It’s a way to give back,” Hellman said. “I’ve been very fortunate by being in the Navy, I’ve been able to move around with my family and take some time from work to come out and do something for someone else, it just makes me very fortunate to have the health and ability to share that with somebody.”

He had five teens and two adults on his team, many from out of the area. Hellman, a parishioner of St. Mary of the Immaculate Conception, in Fredericksburg, said that he started working for WorkCamp seven years ago when his daughter was a freshman. Now, he comes back to volunteer his time and help

teach a new generation like Josey McKeon.

McKeon came back to WorkCamp for the second year, traveling all the way from York, Pa. He was previously a parishioner at Corpus Christi Catholic Church in South Riding.

“I just so love the atmosphere,” McKeon said. “All of the kids are happy to be here and I just feel so honored to get to spend it with them while growing in my faith. It’s so amazing.”

She had never done much physical labor before last year, and said this year she’s learning even more new things - like how to use a sander.

“It’s just more physical way of showing that I can spread my faith to others,” McKeon said. “This makes me feel like I’m actually doing God’s work. I’m having a physical result of my labors.”

Keegan Bayne, of Fredericksburg, said he had heard about WorkCamp from his friends and wanted to get involved. He said that by helping others, he feels he’s following in Jesus’ footsteps.

“Jesus was a selfless servant, he served with joy, ease and efficiency,” Bayne said. “We’re doing exactly the types of things Jesus did back in the day.”

“They’re doing such a wonderful job and I think the girls are working just as hard,” Wellington said with a laugh. “I could never imagine myself doing the work these young ones are doing.”

This is the 29th year WorkCamp has been sponsored by the Diocese of Arlington’s Office of Youth Campus and Young Adult Ministries.

“WorkCamp pulls teens out of their comfort zone and forces them to confront so many new circumstances.

They live without their cell phones, they are placed in workgroups with 5 complete strangers, and are asked to do hard physical labor in the hot sun and to come face to face with a neighbor who is in need,” explained Kevin Bohli, di-

ocesan Director of the Office Youth, Campus and Young Adult Ministries. The weeklong experience — based out of Massaponax High School in Fredericksburg this year — included daily Mass, an evening program complete with music and talks to help the young people reflect upon the experience, and other high-energy activities for them and their adult leaders.

EXIT Cornerstone Realty donated to the youth of Precious Blood Church to make their dreams of attending Work Camp 2018 possible.

"We appreciate being a part of this wonderful community and welcome the opportunity to give back," says Ellen Butters, Broker/ Owner of EXIT Cornerstone Realty.

"These are such hard-working kids, and such a great organization to be a part of. We are glad to do it!"

The Bright Spot Inclusive Playground hosted its ribbon cutting June 30. The playground is expected to open to the public within two weeks.

Bright Spot Inclusive Playground to offer fun for all

By Jeff Say

Culpeper Times Staff Writer It was only fitting the Bright Spot Inclusive Playground hosted its ribbon cutting on a bright, sunny day.

Spearheaded by Culpeper Parks and Recreation, the county’s new inclusive playground was officially christened June 30, as kids of all abilities cheered and waited patiently for it to be completed.

Sandy Bright originally discussed the playground as a way for her 20-year-old daughter Leanne to play with her peers, and the project snowballed as the community recognized the need to have a playground for children with differing abilities.

Leanne Bright was born with an extra piece on her fourth chromosome, which can include a seizure disorder and she is not able to walk or talk.

It made going to a playground a difficult task for the Bright family, as her other siblings and friends

could play and Leanne would simply have to sit and watch.

So it was the Bright family’s initiative to provide parks in Culpeper with swings that would allow wheelchair-bound residents an opportunity to join in the fun.

“It is a dream come true,” Sandy Bright said. “A lot of kids will be able to enjoy it and the schools will be able to bring their special needs children out. It’s not just for people with special needs, it’s for people with all abilities.”

It will be at least two weeks before the playground is open to the public, said Culpeper Parks and Recreation director John Barrett.

The recent rainfall put construction back a bit, but the majority of the playground is finished. The concrete has been poured and set, many pieces of equipment are already installed and the springy surface that will help prevent injuries is about a quarter finished.

Leann can’t wait to get to swing her with friends on the special wheelchair swing that is in place.

“When we talk about it, she smiles and she gets a happy look on her face,” Sandy said. “I think she’s very happy it’s going to benefit her and other children as well.”

Sandy said that she was surprised by the community’s response to the project.

“We got a good response, everybody was willing to help with the fundraising, with the sponsoring and donations,” Sandy said. “Everybody I talked to was ecstatic about it and it was much needed.”

The budget for the playground was $306,000 and Barrett said that through grants and fundraising the committee raised $335,000 Laura Loveday, Culpeper County Special Projects and Grants Administrator, said this was the easiest project she has ever had to fundraise for.

“We very quickly identified the PATH Foundation as someone who might be a good resource for grant making for this particular project,” Loveday said. “They came through early on in the project with a

$50,000 grant. Which was a trajectory changing item. So many people in the community got onboard.”

Some of the key contributors to the playground include the County of Culpeper ($110,000 from the Capital Improvement Plan), the Culpeper Recreation Foundation ($130,000), the PATH Foundation ($50,000), the Robert and Maureen Sievers Family Charitable Gift Fund ($31,000), Joe and Linda Daniel ($30,000) and the Culpeper Wellness Foundation ($10,000) along with multiple smaller donations.

The committee hosted a yard sale, sold T-shirts and a Net-ABuck fundraiser at the Culpeper Sports Complex, where the playground resides.

“I think our recreation department staff has done a wonderful job facilitating this project along with our board,” Culpeper Board of Supervisor, West Fairfax District Gary Deal said. “I’m proud of it and I know our citizens are proud of it. ➤ See Bright, Page 11

BOS votes to move forward with MOU with Rappahannock Area YMCA

By Jeff Say

Culpeper Times Staff Writer The Culpeper County Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to go forward with a memorandum of understanding with the Rappahannock Area YMCA to operate the proposed recreational community center in Culpeper County.

By a vote of 7-0, the board gave county staff the go ahead to work with the Rappahannock Area YMCA to craft a MOU, despite the county not having voted on constructing the building yet.

That depends on a referendum that will appear on November’s budget, that will allow taxpayers to vote on whether they believe Culpeper needs a community center.

The question on the ballot will read: “Shall Culpeper County, Virginia contract a debt and issue its general obligation bonds in the maximum principal amount of $13,144,000 for the purpose of paying the costs, in whole or in part, for construction of a Community Recreation Center, which may include an indoor competition swimming pool, a therapy pool, a multi-purpose gymnasium, fitness equipment, exercise class space, classrooms for various activities, and a soccer field, as well as necessary access, parking, and utility improvements?"

The projected building is estimated at $9.8 million, site development should cost $1.6 million and off-site costs would total $1.5 million. That sets the total cost for the community center at $13.1 million.

The proposed center would include a competition sized pool with 8 lanes 25 yards in length. A therapy pool is also budgeted along with a basketball court, two multi-purpose courts, a fitness area, an aerobics room, preschool rooms, a nursery, an activity room and office space.

The county received information from the YMCA, the Culpeper Wellness Foundation and Gold’s Gym about operating the community center. Both CWF and Gold’s Gym said that they could not provide a full request for information and asked for more time to address the situation. The YMCA provided a full packet of information, but did not discuss how much it would cost to operate the facility.

That was a point of contention with Cedar Mountain District representative Jack Frazier.

“Looking at this proposal, I still have questions what this is going to cost residents and what the operational cost of the building is,” Frazier said.

Looking at the pay structure of other Rappahannock Area YMCA facilities, an adult would pay $60 a month and a family would pay $90 a month. That does not include a $75 joining fee for adults and a $100

joining fee for a family.

Catalpa District supervisor Sue Hansohn pointed out that the YMCA works with families to make it affordable for them.

The Caroline YMCA, part of the Rappahannock Area YMCA, does have income-based pricing - that is designed for gross annual household incomes up to $60,000. Those with greater household incomes of $60,000 are expected to pull the regular established YMCA rates.

BOS chairman and Stevensburg District representative Bill Chase expressed concern about moving forward crafting a MOU while there isn’t even a building built yet.

However, West Fairfax District representative Gary Deal pushed the issue, saying it was important for the community know who they would partner with, and that the YMCA would be a great partner.

“The YMCA is all about helping, all will be welcomed regardless of income,” he said.

After it was explained by county attorney Bobbi Jo Alexis that the memorandum of understanding isn’t binding until the board votes it through, the board agreed to pass it.

In response, the Culpeper County Republican Committee answered with a statement: “The members of the Culpeper County Republicans unanimously voted at the Committee’s June meeting to host a Community Town Hall Meeting in the near future to discuss if voters should allow Culpeper County Government Officials to borrow up to $13.1 million to build a potential recreational center. Voters will decide in the November General Election.

Although details of the Town Hall Meeting are forthcoming, CCRC Chairman Jon Russell and Executive At Large Member Marshall Keene are asking for individuals interested in presenting please inquire using the following corresponding email.

MKEENECCRC@gmail.com.”

Solar panel drama The more heated discussion occurred over the sun and the ability to harness its power.

Frazier brought forward discussion about hiring a third party consultant to analyze the impact of utility solar developments and the possible negative affect it could have on property values to residents neighboring the developments.

That quickly devolved into a contentious conversation between Frazier and Hansohn.

Hansohn countered that the county should hire an appraiser to evaluate the appraisals that were turned over to the ➤ See BOS, Page 11

HOME & GARDEN Slithery visitors In between torrential rain storms, reptiles have been out to hunt and bask around my yard, including an eastern ratsnake and a tailless fivelined skink.

After having a woodland box turtle visit recently (see my June 14 column), the snake showed up in my yard, much to the consternation of my dog, Mollie.

She cued me to the reptile’s presence with her fierce barking. Going outside, I found her a few feet from from the kitchen porch, yapping away at the snake, which was less than a yard away. The eastern ratsnake is Virginia’s largest snake, measuring up to six feet long, but the snake in my yard was only about four feet long.

The snake seemed calm,

WILD IDEAS Pam Owen

considering a big dog was excitedly bouncing around and barking at it from just a few feet away. It looked like a coiled spring, ready to strike if necessary, with its head about a foot off the ground. It watched Mollie but didn’t move, ignoring some flies that were crawling around on its head that apparently were attracted to what looked like dried mud there.

I called off Mollie, put her inside, and grabbed my camera, intending to photograph the snake. But when I went back out, the snake had disappeared. I looked under the porch, and found that, like eastern ratsnakes that had visited before, it had crawled up into a gap between my brick chimney and the side of the house. The last few inches of its tail were disappearing into it, so no photo opp this time. Disappointed, I went back inside, hoping the snake would return so I’d have another chance to take some shots.

A few days later, it did. Once again

I heard Mollie barking near the porch.

This time, I grabbed my camera as I headed to out the door. The tableau of snake and dog was almost identical to the previous time, and in the same general location. I put Mollie inside, then quickly returned to the snake, camera in hand, to photograph it

before it could disappear again.

The snake was still frozen in its defensive posture, looking as unperturbed as before, its eyes fixed on me. I took a bunch of shots, then went up on the porch to give the snake some room, curious to see ➤ See Wild, Page 9

➤ Wild, from Page 8 where it would go.

As before, it headed toward the house. But this time it started to try to go up the electrical and phone cables running up the back of it. Then the snake changed its mind, perhaps seeing me on the porch, and pulled back down onto the ground. I went down near it to get a few more shots as it played hide and seek behind garden stuff along the wall.

After I’d gotten all the shots I wanted, I stepped back and watched the snake go on its way along down toward the garden where I’d seen the box turtle. There a few gardens down there, which should offer good hunting options. After having a mouse invasion this spring, the house could use a little control of the rodent control.

The snake wasn’t the only reptile to visit that week. The frequent rains had apparently daunted the five-lined skinks that usually hunt and bask on my walls and deck, but one morning I spotted a husky one basking on a large rock among those ringing a small garden. The rock, a favorite basking spot for skinks and dragonflies, is just a few feet from where the dog-snake encounter occurred.

This skink was a male, as I could tell by the orange breeding colors on

his face and undersides. He was also missing most of his tail, probably from an encounter with a predator.

This species has evolved to have a tail that regenerates if it is detached.

Young five-lined skinks have brightblue tails when they hatch out, which fades as the skink ages. This blue coloration is to distract predators, giving the young lizards a chance to escape predators while they learn how to avoid them.

The predator is more likely to pounce on the bright tail, letting the rest of the skink get away to live another day. Although this adaptation can keep the skink from getting eaten, it takes a lot of energy to regrow the tail, which can make the skink more vulnerable, so it’s a defense of last resort. The tail also has toxins in it that can deter predators, including cats and dogs, from attacking more than once.

I got my camera and took a few shots of the skink. As I was walking away, the lizard darted behind the rock, but soon came out to bask again.

I’m hoping it, too, will stick around and help with insect control. © 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. You may reach her at nighthawkcomm@gmail.com

H E A LT H Rotator cuff fragmentation THEM BONES AND JOINTS

Today, I'm discussing other conditions other than rotator cuff fragmentation.

Degeneration similar to that taking place in the rotator cuff can also affect the long head of the biceps, a tendon of the biceps muscle in the front of the upper arm that originates inside the shoulder joint and is very closely related to the rotator cuff. This tendon, too, may become inflamed and swell with compression and irritation in its confined space, leading to partial fragmentation or tearing and eventual rupture. The biceps muscle consists of two distinct bundles, giving it its name, which means “two heads” in Latin. The long tendon head of the biceps and the short head of the

biceps muscle originate in different areas around the shoulder. The long head is the smaller of the two. For now, we’ll concern ourselves only with the long head.

The long-head tendon begins inside the shoulder joint at the top of the socket and emerges from the shoulder through a groove in the humerus to meet the long muscle head midway along the upper arm. This groove is covered by a thick ligament that confines the long-head tendon to a tight tunnel for a short distance (Fig. 16). An extension of the synovium (sin-NO-vee-um) of the shoulder joint covers the biceps tendon. The synovium secretes synovial fluid that lubricates the joint and helps to nourish the cartilage covering the bones that form the shoulder joint and the biceps tendon as well.

If the rotator cuff is degenerating enough, the synovium in the joint reacts and thickens. It does not

produce its normal fluid and will secrete other substances that may hasten tendon degeneration. The longhead tendon is especially affected in its confined space outside the joint (Fig. 16), in the groove under the thick ligament quite a distance from the joint. Pain from this condition is often similar to pain from the rotator cuff, and if the surgeon fails to remove the synovial covering of the tendon or explore the portion of the long-head tendon outside the joint, he will not discover a possible biceps tendon problem that may be causing some, if not all, of the patient’s pain. Failure to detect this trouble spot before or during surgery may leave the patient with some of the pre-operative pain after the operation.

Calcific Tendinitis of the Rotator Cuff Loss of blood supply to the socalled critical area isn’t the only

thing that causes degeneration and fragmentation of the rotator cuff. A chemical change can also bring on difficulties. If the pH (the measure of the acidity or alkalinity of fluid and tissue) of this area becomes acidic enough, probably as a result of the ongoing degenerative process, calcium can invade the tendon, causing acute inflammation and swelling to accommodate the calcium deposit (Fig. 17). As the calcium is deposited, increasing pressure inside the tendon causes a great deal of pain with the slightest shoulder motion, this pain again being referred to the deltoid muscle. I have seen some of the toughest people cry with this condition because it is almost impossible for them to find a comfortable position as the pressure within the tendon increases.

Because the ballooning of the tendon is the problem, a doctor can ➤ See Health, Page 11

➤ Bright, from Page 7 It’s going to be great for special needs concern as well as the public in general.”

Culpeper County Administrator John Eggertson said the park will improve the county’s quality of life.

“We got this park done in little bits and pieces, mostly it was grassroots,” Eggertson said. “It was a little bit surprising to me that many people got involved and put that much money into it.”

Deanne Rennon said her daughter Erica is excited to get a chance to play with her friends on the playground. Erica is diagnosed with 4-H syndrome, which is a leukodystrophy - meaning her brain consists mostly of gray matter which affects development. The rising sixth grader at Floyd T. Binns is most looking forward to the ADA swing at the park.

Local News

“To have it right here and have it local is just amazing,” Deanne said.

Jen Sievers, who works with infants and toddlers with disabilities and delays, said her parents - who manage the Sievers Charitable Fund - immediately agreed to help donate funds for the park. In fact, a train “The Sievers Express,” bears their name at the Bright Spot.

“I thought this was something that was great for the community,” Sievers said. “Now families don’t have to drive all the way to Warrenton.”

Barrett expressed his thanks to the community for all their efforts.

“I think it’s an endearing approach by the community to support this type of initiative,” Barrett said. “I think that people came and pulled together to donate, lend a hand to help this project move forward.”

Frazier instead wanted to conduct their own separate appraisals of areas that have solar panel developments - such as North Carolina.

“I take offense that you said supervisors have their mind made up, I do not,” Hansohn said in a raised voice.

After discussing the issue further with Alexis, Frazier again explained his point of contention.

“My concern is how do we show people who live in the county that solar is not going to affect their property values?” Frazier said.

“That’s up to us to protect that.”

Chase countered that many that are questioning if their property values will be lowered are his neighbors and he’s heard the same complaints, but much of it is based on false information.

VIEWS Tired of partisan hypocrisy HOW I SEE IT

Christian Datoc of the The Daily Caller wrote recently about a subject that has been on my mind for a long time now.

He talks about a “police state” being more and more obvious in this country.

There are more and more lawyers and prosecutors being purposefully accusatory and going out of their way to investigate people of influence along party lines.

Here is his take on it: "Constitutional scholar Alan Dershowitz delivered a heated takedown Thursday of lawyers and civil libertarians pursuing Donald Trump for a crime, despite multiple probes failing to find evidence after more than a year of investigating.

"I do not trust the government.

I do not trust judges. I do not trust

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

McClary should apologize

Mike McClary owes the Culpeper voters an apology for his comment in Sunday’s Star Exponent. He called Republican supporters “woefully ignorant”. That reminds us of Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” remark.

McClary needs to be reminded that President Trump won the 2016 Election nationally and in Culpeper.

Democrats are still in shock that Hillary lost and as a result will do or say anything to “Resist” the positive policies of the Trump Administration.

McClary and his ilk, his word, need to look his Culpeper neighbors in the eye and apologize for this nonsense.

In personal conversations, Mike is civil but changes his tune when hiding behind his computer.

Apparently his ideology overrules common decency if you have a different political view. How long before McClary reverts to the national

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Regarding last week's Pardoe's Perspective I agree with him that it was embarrassing that a restaurant refused service to Sarah Huckabee.

If a business was established to

prosecutors when they zealously seek to go after a particular target, in this case, Donald Trump, “ he said on MSNBC. "Nobody would have been going after Michael Cohen if he weren’t Donald Trump’s lawyer. That’s the reality!"

People don’t investigate campaign contribution lapses or campaign rule violations generally about people who aren’t in the public life, and I just worry that when you have somebody with a target on his or her back – whether it is Hillary Clinton who could have been elected and had the same thing happen to her, or Donald Trump that civil libertarians ought to express concern.

I don’t want to live in the surveillance state. I want to do everything in my power no matter who the target is to prevent this from occurring.

It was Lavrentiy Beria who told Stalin, ‘show me the man, and I’ll find your crime.’

You can go through the federal criminal code and find crimes that

virtually any businessman, any politician has committed. It is so easy to get a warrant. It is so easy to persuade a judge to give you a wiretap warrant.

That simply doesn’t protect American citizens, and any civil libertarian who was exposed to what’s going on here today — if Hillary Clinton were the subject — would be taking exactly the opposite position.

There is so much hypocrisy, partisan hypocrisy out there. I don’t mind if conservatives take the view we ought to trust government or former prosecutors take the view we ought to trust government.

My gripe is against civil libertarians and criminal defense lawyers who are always on the side of challenging the government, the ACLU, who have suddenly lost its way and forgotten what they’ve preached for 50 years because it is Donald Trump they’re after.

If the people can do this without consequences, then none of us are safe.

profanity narrative of Hollywood and restaurants telling guests to leave if they are associated with the Trump Administration? This behavior could lead to violence. It is just a matter of time before such harassment is met with retaliation. Hopefully, people will come to their senses and respect opposing views. All of this shows desperation by the Democrats because they have no positive message to run on this year. All of their candidates are running against President Trump rather than presenting a positive plan of what they hope to accomplish.

That is understandable when the Trump economy is flourishing, Black and Hispanic unemployment are at all time lows, female employment at the highest in decades, largest tax cut in years, and consumer confidence is driving a record breaking stock market.

Now the Democrats refuse to cooperate on resolving the out of control immigration problem. They would rather have an issue for

November than a solution. The parents of these children are to blame for the separation from their families.

These people are illegally crossing our borders versus utilizing the ports of entry.

Texas alone has 30 such ports where immigrants could legally make their case for asylum. The policy of separating children from families was widely used under the Obama Administration. In fact, the pictures of caged children were from 2014. Where was the outcry then?

Probably half of the billions of people in the world would like to come to the United States, but we cannot accommodate them all. We would simply become a refugee camp for the world. Thank goodness President Trump will not let this happen. Look at what Europe’s open border policies have done to Germany and France!

serve the public then they should not discriminate due to politics, gender, race, sexual preference, etc..

The person who won his case in the Supreme Court claiming a violation of his religious freedom was full of it, and the Court blew this decision. Mr. Pardoe made it a political issue versus a bad, and unfair, business decision.

Francis Updike Culpeper Of course, in fairness to Mr. Pardoe, Maxine Waters exacerbated the issue with her inflamatory rhetoric!

There seems to be enough blame to go around without getting immersed in politics.

CHURCH A freedom which will never disappointus FAITH IN THE COMMUNITY Pastor Brad Hales

Where is your favorite place in Culpeper?

Someone posed that question to me not long ago and I had to do some thinking.

Yes, I enjoy the Cedar Mountain Battlefield because I love

Civil War History.

Yes, I enjoy the Culpeper County Public Library. I’ve lived many places in my life and we have one of the finest libraries around.

Maybe your list might include a variety of restaurants, breweries, parks, specific places or special landmarks.

But for me, when it comes right down to it, my favorite place is the Culpeper National Cemetery.

A cemetery? Some may wonder why, and here is my response.

Every time I set foot on these

hallowed grounds with the finely manicured grass and rows of white stones, I always feel that I am surrounded by freedom.

Beginning with the War Between the States through present day conflicts, heroic men and women who sacrificed for this nation and its freedoms are laid to rest in this reverent place.

Through the years I’ve had the upmost privilege of being a part of Memorial Day/Veteran Day Services at the Cemetery.

And on numerous occasions too many to count, I’ve had the distinct honor of presiding over services for veterans and spouses from Virginia and all over the nation.

The blanket of freedom is indeed alive in that place.

On July 4, 1776, 240 years ago, our nation declared its independence realizing that freedom directly comes from God. And there are several references to this freedom in Holy Scripture.

John 8:34-36 reminds us that we are freed from the power of sin as Jesus says, “Truly, truly I say to you, everyone who practices sin is a slave to sin. The slave does not remain in the house forever, the son remains forever. So if the Son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed! In II Corinthians 3:17 it says wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. Through the Spirit of the living God we are provided with a free gift of faith in Christ. Galatians 5:13 helps us to understand that we are free not to just focus on ourselves but to serve others as it is written, “For you we’re called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another.” And in I Peter 2:16 we are compelled to; “Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.” What constitutes “living as a

free person?” It means taking personal responsibility for our country, family, faith, actions and work. It means loving and serving our neighbors. It’s means clearly understanding that life doesn’t just revolve around ourselves, but responding to the hurting and heartsick.

I once met a woman who personifies these characteristics in a powerful way.

This individual was married as a teenager, and quickly had five children.

After her last child was born her husband literally left her for another woman.

But instead of soliciting pity and acting out in anger and bitterness, she went to work to support her family.

This woman of faith never gave up, as she literally raised those children on her own. Eventually, she met a very loving man whom ➤ See Hales, Page 17

➤ Hales, from Page 16 she married, and enjoyed 40 years of living.

Simply, I have never known a more generous, compassionate, loving and giving person in my life.

Instead of choosing to be a victim, she clung to Jesus, and chose to live her freedom in raising an awesome family and intentionally reaching out to others and their needs.

Whether we realize it or not, we are a free people.

And our liberty comes directly from God. The God who unselfishly sacrificed his only Son to provide us freedom from darkness/death, and the God who has continually lifted up others to ensure this liberty for generations to come.

Knowing what we’ve been given, let us be compelled and motivated to “live as people who are free.”

A freedom which will never disappoint us.

Lignum man arrested in daylight shooting

By Jeff Say

Culpeper Times Staff Writer A Lignum man was arrested in connection with the Friday afternoon shooting in Culpeper.

On June 29, 2018 at approximately 2:04 pm, the Culpeper County E-911 Center received multiple calls concerning a shooting that just occurred in the Cottoms 400-block of S. Main Street. Several callers reported to 911 that one male suspect had shot another male in the roadway. Prior to law enforcement arrival, the suspect fled the scene in a vehicle and the victim was being transported to the hospital by a vehicle at the scene. Officers located the vehicle transporting the victim and located the victim upon arriving at the hospital. Officers also began canvassing the area and broadcast a lookout for the suspect vehicle.

Within minutes of the shooting, the Culpeper County Sheriff ’s Office located the suspect vehicle on Brandy Road in the

county. A traffic stop was conducted by the Sheriff ’s Office and the suspect was detained at this location.

The suspect was then transported to the Culpeper Police Department for questioning. Detectives with the Culpeper Police Department responded to the shooting scene to collect evidence and interview multiple witnesses. The Town of Culpeper Public Works Department assisted with detouring traffic while the Detectives were on scene gathering evidence.

The 46-year old victim was initially transported to Novant-UVA Culpeper Medical Center and later airlifted to the University of Virginia Hospital in Charlottesville, Virginia with life threatening injuries.

As a result of this incident and investigation, the Culpeper Police Department has charged Robert Lee Cottoms Jr., 67, of Lignum, Virginia, with one count of felony aggravated malicious wounding, felony use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and felony possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. Cottoms is being held in the Culpeper County

Jail without bond.

“We would like to thank the citizens who called in and provided officers with the suspect vehicle descriptions at the scene,” Culpeper Chief Chris Jenkins said. “This ultimately helped the Sheriff ’s Officer locate the suspect vehicle and take the shooting suspect into custody.”

“This is yet another example of the outstanding work exhibited by the men and women of this agency. I am very proud of these dedicated professionals” said Jenkins.

Chief Jenkins praised and thanked the Sheriff ’s Office, “Thanks again to our neighbor law enforcement partners for their assistance in locating the shooting suspect and taking him into custody.”

This is an active and on-going investigation. Anyone who may have witnessed this shooting or can provide additional information is asked to call Lieutenant Andrew Terrill at 540-829-5521.

Special Olympics athletes show strength with power lifting

By Jeff Say

Culpeper Times Staff Writer For Joe Melugin, the deadlift is a chance to show there’s nothing different about Special Olympics athletes.

The 20-year-old volunteer firefighter and Special Olympics competitor took to the deadlift and is using the sport to showcase his leadership skills and his powerful physique.

The athlete representative for Area 17 smiles when Special Olympics is mentioned. The athletes are special, but not because of the diagnoses they face.

“I don’t see them as difficulties or disabilities, I see them as obstacles,” Melugin said. “You just have to overcome them.”

Melugin started working with powerlifting coach and volunteer Matt Stanton earlier this spring after Area 17 started its track and field and weightlifting groups.

Heather Knowles, Area 17 Coordinator of Special Olympics, said that there has been discussion for some time of having a track and field team and this spring it came together as four volunteers stepped up to help with track and powerlift-

ing.

“We decided to start powerlifting at the same time,” Knowles said. “It’s kind of hard with something like powerlifting, because you’ve had these kids who haven’t done any weight training for nine months. When I talked to Matt, he said we should have this be a yearround opportunity.”

Melugin, who has deadlifted 315 pounds, said that he participated in Special Olympics in Prince William County before moving to Culpeper.

There wasn’t a program here, until his mother Knowles reignited Area 17.

Now between 12-15 athletes participate in track and field and powerlifting, helping teach them the importance of strength training.

“It gives them confidence,” Stanton said.

Stanton said Melugin has been a quick learner.

“I gave him some cues to keep the bar close to his shins and his feet and he’s picking it up pretty fast,” Stanton said.

Stanton said he’s tried to bring powerlifting to help special needs students in the past, but it wasn’t until he connected with Knowles that they were able to get the ball

“I had a lot of people hit me up to be volunteers for this,” Stanton said. “I just think people were scared of what they didn’t understand, they thought they could get hurt from powerlifting. I contacted Heather and we got four volunteers.”

At the moment, Special Olympics athletes compete in the deadlift and bench squat.

Area 17 serves Culpeper, Orange, Rappahannock and Madison counties and Knowles said they are constantly accepting new athletes.

“It provides his holistic inclusion,” Knowles said. “It really is a sense of accomplishments in Special Olympics specifically. Having a year-round program where they can travel and compete just like the teams at the high schools, is a huge sense of pride for them.”
