H E A LT H Culpeper Medical Center awarded COPN by Virginia Department of Health Contributed report Culpeper Medical Center, a facility of Novant Health UVA Health System, is pleased to announce that they have been awarded a medical care facilities Certificate of Public Need (COPN) to introduce stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) services – a minimally invasive cancer treatment – at Culpeper Medical Center.

“Before now, cancer patients in the Culpeper community had to travel approximately 45 minutes in any direction to receive SRS care,” said Jonathan D’Souza, MD, chief medical officer at Culpeper Medical Center. “Patients rely on their community hospital to offer the most effective, advanced treatment options close to home. The COPN we were recently granted is most certainly a win for our community.”

SRS services deliver a high dose of radiation to a small, focused

area. This form of treatment is considered a less invasive, less risky alternative to conventional surgery for many cancer patients. One of the major advantages of SRS is that it has shorter treatment schedules. There are two common types: stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) and stereotactic radiation therapy (SRT).

SRS is typically used on the brain and the treatment is usually done in one day, while SRT is used on the trunk of the body and treatment occurs over the course of several days.

The services can be used to treat selected brain tumors (malignant or benign), lung cancer, liver tumors, adrenal tumors, selected pancreatic cancers and para spinal tumors. They are also being investigated as a possible treatment for early stage breast cancer.

“Twenty years ago, SRS services

were a hyper-specialized area of cancer care,” says Shiv R. Khandelwal, MF FACRO, medical director of radiation oncology at Culpeper Medical Center. “Now, as community hospitals partner with regional academic medical centers – like Culpeper Medical Center’s connection with the University of Virginia – we are able to offer state-of-theart cancer treatment right in a patient’s backyard. There is no longer a need for them to travel out of their community to receive cancer care at a time when their state of health is most vulnerable.”

This summer, I quickly realized that I was one of the only students not engaging myself in an internship, a camp, or a job. So I found myself missing the things I did last summer, like Summer Residential GovSchool for example. Instead of going on the search for a new niche, I decided to use what time I had to improve myself. Over the past few weeks, I have made decisions that will benefit me not only now, but in the future. I started early on my college applications, I actually finished my summer reading, I used some of my free time to volunteer, and I genuinely felt good. My goal this summer was to become more independent, and by allowing myself to have the time to breathe and just think, I’m doing just that. Of all of the things I’ve learned, however, it might be that independence isn’t what you need to be successful in life. Reliability is a crutch, whether it be friendships, family, or new relationships. Time is of the essence, as some may say, and maybe now is the time to appreciate what we’ve been given.

Culpeper County Public School updates Culpeper County Public School students will return to school on Monday, Aug. 12.

LOCAL NEWS THWAP: Multiverse Comics swings into Culpeper

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Say hello to Culpeper’s friendly neighborhood comics shop.

Multiverse Comics, owned by Dan and Drea Dyer, opened May 1 at 509 S Main St Suite 131 and has been helping comic lovers get their weekly fix ever since.

Dan, who fell in love with comics after reading Amazing Spider-Man #403 (featuring the trial of Peter Parker), grew up in Culpeper and wanted to provide youth a place where they could visit to find the same joy he has in the hobby.

“I grew up in this town and I know growing up there wasn’t a lot for young people, so I kind of want to have that here too,” Dyer said Stocking Superman, Spiderman, X-Men, Avengers comics and collected sets like Watchmen, there’s a multitude of options at Multiverse.

While many folks digest their com-

ics digitally, Dan said there’s something to be said for holding a physical copy and being able to revisit it.

“There’s a lot of people who are collectors and collectors tend to like a physical copy,” Dyer said.

“I’ve been a collector for a very long time, I wanted to start my own business and I knew a lot about comics.”

Multiverse Comics offers a subscription service, where customers can sign up so they don’t miss their favorite character’s latest edition.

The Dyers will hold onto the copy until the customer can stop by to pick it up.

“Most comic book shops do (subscription services) because comics come out weekly, so if they miss a week we’ll have them waiting for us here,” Dyer said.

Dyer only offers comics at the moment, but expects to bring in gaming ➤ See Comics, Page 5

“There have been a lot of people who are excited to see us here,” Dyer said. “It’s been very positive.”

Multiverse Comics is the fourth Culpeper comics or gaming shop to open in recent memory. Comics & Gaming, The Shop and Geek Life all tried to make a go of it in town and did so to varying success before closing their doors.

“It is a little stressful because I do know other places have tried here,” Dyer said. “I’m getting advice from a friend that has a shop in Harrisonburg, and he says to go small. I’ve noticed that’s one thing the other shops didn’t do, they tried to do everything at once.”

Dyer is hoping his expertise in comics helps draw people in.

“A lot of people that come to a place like this, they want someone who knows the comics so they can relate to it,” Dyer said.

“It’s more mainstream now,” he said of comics. “You’ll see a character spike if they have a movie come out.”

Multiverse Comics is open Wednesday through Friday 2 to 9 p.m., Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday 1 to 7 p.m.

CMR Farm Show shows off results of hard work ➤ 4-H members get hands on experience with agriculture at annual farm show

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Liberty is bleating.

No, that’s not a typo. On Saturday at the Culpeper-Madison-Rappahannock Farm Show, Liberty was bleating, as Savannah Smith corralled the Grand Champion Market Lamb to show him off to some visitors.

Smith, 17, a senior at Eastern View High School has been showing cattle and lamb at the CMR Farm Show for the past nine years, but this year marked the first time she was able to crown a grand champion with one of her animals.

She started working with Liberty in May, putting 50 pounds on the now 125-pound lamb that was sold on Monday. “(It takes) A lot of hard work and dedication, and the right feed program,” Smith said.

Liberty was judged on his loin, the width of his belly and other criteria before being named grand champion.

Smith, whose family owns a small farm, raised five lambs this year for the annual farm show and has 13 heifers and one bull at home.

“It’s mainly just for 4-H, I want to get it bigger so I can sell to 4-H kids later on,” Smith said.

The daughter of Marcy and Todd Smith, she’s a second generation 4-H member, following in the footsteps of her dad.

“He’s told me when you breed your own animals, it’s a lot more important because you know what you are producing, you know what you’re going to get out of it,” Smith said.

The 4-H All Star, the highest level a 4-H member can reach, plans to go to Germanna Community College to two years and then wants to go to James Madison University or Virginia Commonwealth University and study criminology and go to Quantico and join the FBI program.

She said while she works with the animals daily, she tries not to form a bond with them as she knows what happens when the show is over.

“It’s harder with the cattle, because I get attached to them,” Smith said. “With the lambs, we have them such a short amount of time, and being in it for nine years

(RIGHT) Savannah Smith won Grand Champion with her lamb Liberty. it’s hard to get attached when you know what’s going to happen with them.”

She hopes to continue to promote agriculture in the community through 4-H. “My uncle owns Ashland Farm and my dad grew up there and I know all the meaning of agriculture and where it comes from, but I just want everyone to know how agriculture is in our community,” Smith said. “Just last year in my ag class, a lot of kids didn’t know where their food was coming from.”

Summer Koontz, 14, a freshman at Culpeper County High School, is one of the local students who knows where her food comes from - she too is a grand champion in 4-H. Her goat Sugar Baby won grand champion this past week, out of a group of 90 goats being shown.

“I love their personality and how smart they are,” Koontz said of raising goats.

Nearby, Khaleesi, one of her goats, is mugging for the camera and being a ham.

“She can be a diva, she likes her way a lot, but she also likes the attention,” Koontz said.

She too, knows what happens after the animals were sold on

Monday.

“It’s horrible,” Koontz said with a laugh. “You work with them everyday, you get to know them and their personality and it can be very hard to let them go.”

She’s a second generation 4-H member as well, her father Joe Koontz grew up working with animals through 4-H. He said that working with 4-H teaches life lessons, and helps

teach youngsters responsibility. He pointed out that they have to care for something more than themselves, and they learn that goats aren’t like the cartoon versions that can eat everything - they’re highly susceptible to bacteria and need to be treated carefully.

Summer says she loves showing goats and looks forward to contin➤ See Seniors, Page 7

time.

“My grandfather is from Culpeper, he was born here,” Harlow said. “There was no future here at the time for a young person, my dad went to D.C. when he was 13 years old at the old Raleigh Hotel in the engine room. He made enough money there he started buying trucks and got into the trucking business. He made enough money to buy the farm and went full time in 1929.”

In 1935 the farm switched to Grade A dairy and produced milk products for 73 years before switching back over in 2006.

Standing next to her dad, Bonnie Menefee smiled as he son and niece and nephew worked the animals.

“I grew up doing that, it teaches you ethics, responsibility, to be able to care for something besides yourself,” Menefee said.

ue working in agriculture.

“I want to keep doing it for as long as possible,” Koontz said.

The Harlow family has close ties to the farm show, as Charlie Harlow’s dad helped start it years ago.

“It’s been six generations of our family involved with this show,” he said. “My father was co-chairman of this show for years, and helped create this whole monster.”

On Saturday, his grandchildren Aidan Menefee and Alexis and Blake Harlow were showing cows in the center ring.

The Harlows own Maple Springs Farm in Culpeper, which is celebrating its 100th year of operation. Started by Charlie’s dad in 1919, it’s been able to stand the test of

TECHNOLOGY Computer Crashes ruin the Moon Landing One of the greatest scientific and technological achievements of the human race reaches a major milestone as the first person to walk on the moon reaches its 50th anniversary on July 20th, 1969.

Celebrations this year are taking place across the country.

But did you know that the Apollo 11 mission was the first-time people rode in a vehicle controlled by a computer. And the computer kept crashing at the most critical moment.

Stephen Witt of Wired Magazine has a fascinating write-up on the guidance computer system that controlled the Apollo 11 lunar module. The computer in the lunar module consisted of a keypad and resembled a microwave.

Buzz Aldrin controlled the computer

your memory of 2-digit and 5-digit codes to land on the moon for the first time?

During the final phases of the landing sequence the processor on the computer was getting overwhelmed with tasks.

It displayed a code that Aldrin had not seen before. When the computer was over taxed, it was designed to remember the highest priority tasks, reboot itself, resume the high priority tasks and forget the lower level items.

The guidance system was using 87% processing power, Aldrin’s commands 3%, and a mystery program another 10%. And when the computer resets itself, the display goes completely blank.

And the computer crashed 5 times in 4 minutes. Each time Armstrong and Aldrin wondering if the computer would turn back on.

Once the lunar module was below 1000 feet of the moon’s surface there was no way to abort. It would be too dangerous. But the mission was still a go. Once Neil Armstrong took manual control of the stick, it alleviated some of the processing overload and the errors stopped.

If you watch the new CNN documentary, you will see the repeated alarms going off in the final minutes before they land. But he overshot the intended landing spot by several miles due to the distractions.

Once Armstrong and Aldrin were safely landed on the moon, engineers at MIT were scrambling to figure out what caused the computer error. If they didn’t, it may be hard to impossible for the crew to return safely to the command module in lunar orbit with Michael Collins. With less than 3 hours to spare they found the issue. A dial was turned to the wrong setting for the rendezvous radar that

allowed tracking of the command module in orbit. Periodically this wrong setting was overloading the processor with unnecessary tasks.

The Apollo crew were instructed to fix the dial setting and the rest will live on in history for all time.

Virginia and D.C. events commemorating the moon landing anniversary: You can visit the Virginia Air and Space Center in Hampton VA for a virtual interactive experience of the history of lunar exploration as well as future moon missions.

Additional information: https://www. eurekaexhibits.com/our-exhibits/apollo50th-anniversary/ 15 MLB teams, including the Washington Nationals will place replica statues of Neil Armstrong’s spacesuit in their ballparks.

The National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C, from July 16th-20th will hold a 5-day celebration at the museum and on the National Mall.

Lazy person’s guide to birdwatching This year, as I’ve tried to improve my birding skills, I’ve found I often have more interesting sightings sitting comfortably on my deck.

My experience of birding in groups has mostly involved going out at dawn and slowly walking or standing for hours staring up into the forest canopy trying to find birds singing from deep inside dense foliage. Not only is this painful because of problems with my neck, back and knees, but I’m lucky if I can catch a glimpse of any, and then it’s mostly males singing, only one of many behaviors of birds.

I often take my binoculars and

birding references with me when I ramble the property where I live, especially on my dawn walks with my dog, Mollie. But I’ve found that I see more birds up close, and doing more than singing, after the walk, when, weather permitting, Mollie and I relax on the deck, usually with coffee in the morning or a beer in the evening.

As the males finish their dawn singing, many come down from their lofty perches to forage in the copse that is within a few feet of the deck. Females also show up there, and I can observe behavior besides singing, such as interacting with each other and other animals, along with the foraging. In the last few weeks, the view from the deck has become particularly rewarding, with surprising visits from several species.

The first to show up was a

Louisiana waterthrush, which despite its name is a warbler. My first sighting of this species here was last year. A male landed and started singing from a tree branch just over my head at the start edge of my yard, at the head of a trail that runs up the mountain, paralleling a stream. Since then, I had only seen this species here once, singing high in a tuliptree that had not yet fully leafed out. But this spring I had heard it almost every day, singing in the forest canopy or from within the impenetrable tangle of forest on the other side of my driveway.

Then, the first week in July, what may be the same bird nonchalantly

landed on my deck, perching on the shepherd’s hook holding a hummingbird feeder. Mollie and I had just returned from our morning walk and were quietly relaxing on the deck about 10 feet away. The hummers trying to get to the feeder, however, were not so sanguine about this intrusion. They were buzzing around the feeder while the warbler stared at them, nonplussed.

Eventually, as calmly and quickly as it had arrived, the waterthrush flew back to its usual haunts across the driveway.

All spring, many birds visit the copse a few feet from the deck, and a few nest there, but they mostly inhabit the center or far side, so I rarely get a good view of them. But a few days after the waterthrush visited, a male scarlet tanager showed up in the copse within a few yards of where I sit. I’d been hearing several males of this species singing around the property since early spring, but this was the first one I’d seen since they staked out their nesting territories.

The next visitor was a hooded warbler, which had been singing tantalizingly close in the tangle on the other side of the driveway, but this was the first sight I’d had of it this year. With its bright yellow coloring and black hood, it was easy ➤ See Birds, Page 10

to ID. A day or two later, another visitor to the copse that I’d heard frequently, with its distinctive trill, but never seen, was a worm-eating warbler.

This time it was silent, and with its drab coloring, I may not have spotted it but for the agitated calling of a male American redstart, which the worm-eater seemed to be following.

Easy to spot by its black, red and orange feathers, the redstart was gleaning bugs, moving rapidly from branch to branch. It continually scolded the other warbler, and fluffed up his feathers, which males often do to look bigger to rivals and predators.

The interaction gave me a chance to see the distinguishing identification points of the drabber, olive-colored worm-eating warbler: black and buffcolored lines on its flat head.

On July 9, the (or at least a) Louisiana waterthrush once again appeared on the deck. This time it landed on the deck railing within four feet of me and of Mollie, who Licensed & Insured was lying just blow it.

It appeared to be checking out the berries in a hawthorn tree a few yards away from the deck and copse. The berries were not ripe, and the bird quickly moved on.

While a chair and binoculars are all any lazy birdwatcher needs, Shenandoah National Park offers many excellent spots for this approach to birding. Below are a few that are an easy drive from Rappahannock County, the first three of which are considered birding “hotspots” (for more birding hotspots in our area, go to ebird.org/hotspots).

Limberlost Trail: Flat, short (1.1 miles) and with a lot of benches, this trail is ideal for lazy birdwatching. It also has great bird diversity spring through fall. A friend and I recently sighted 19 different bird species there, mostly warblers.

Big Meadows: While only a few good sitting spots are there (logs), most of the birds are meadow birds, so live closer to the ground, and most of the spots from which to sing— shrubs and small trees — are also lower. There are a few spots that can also accommodate a camp chair for anyone wanting to just sit and observe.

Thornton River Trail: Among the many birding “hotspots” in the park, this trail is flat and offers many logs and stumps along it or along the North Fork of the Thornton River to sit and watch for birds.

Overlooks: All park overlooks offer good views of the forest crown, much of it from above (so less neck craning needed), and stone walls to sit on or space for chair. Some overlooks are considered birding hotspots, especially for watching hawks migrate in the fall. On a crisp fall day, even if hawks are scarce, the Stonyman overlook, for example, is a great spot for sitting, drinking coffee and swapping birding yarns with other birdwatchers.

Lawsuit against CCSO Sheriff Jenkins dismissed by judge

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer A lawsuit brought against Culpeper County Sheriff Scott Jenkins was dismissed by a federal judge Monday.

In Sept. 2018, Francisco Guardado Rios filed a federal class-action civil rights lawsuit alleging the Culpeper County Jail has an “unlawful practice of holding immigrants in jail past their release dates.”

On Monday, Senior U.S. District Court Judge Glen Conrad released a 21-page memorandum ruling that Jenkins did not breach the U.S. Constitution while working with Immigration & Customs Enforcement in detaining, at the federal agency’s request, Guardado Rios for two days beyond his scheduled release date.

“In sum, the court is convinced that Jenkins did not violate clearly established federal law by detaining Rios for an additional 48 hours pursuant to the ICE detainer and administrative warrant,” Conrad said in the memorandum.

“At the time of the plaintiff’s detention, existing precedent suggested that, ‘even in the absence of a written agreement,’ local law enforcement officials may cooperate with ICE in the detention or removal of aliens not lawfully present in the United States … when such cooperation is expressly requested or authorized by ICE.” Reached this week, Jenkins said he was vindicated by the judge’s ruling.

“Another judge has confirmed what people with common sense have known all along — my actions as sheriff in cooperating with federal law enforcement authorities on illegal immigration are completely legal and constitutional,” he said. “Those arguing otherwise are out of touch with the concerns of our entire community and country. Spending time and money helping repeated lawbreakers escape the rightful actions of law-enforcement is incomprehensible.

“I appreciate the enormous outpouring of support from our community as I pushed back against these attacks,” he added. “I will always stand firm on this and other constitutional issues while protecting our community.”

Sophia Gregg, with the Legal Aid Justice Center, expressed disappointment with the ruling and said the group is reviewing their legal options.

"Recall that this lawsuit was with regards to the sheriff’s actions (holding immigrants in his jail beyond their release dates, for ICE) before entering into the 287(g) agreement, so the judge didn’t opine one way or the other about the 287(g) agreement itself or the sheriff’s actions under that agreement," she said. "In the end, the judge did not hold that the sheriff’s actions were legal; he merely held that since reasonable minds could and do disagree about their legality, therefore he would not require the sheriff to submit himself to a lawsuit seeking monetary compensation for illegal seizure."

The lawsuit, brought by the Legal Aid Justice Center and Victor M. Glasberg and Associates, challenges the Sheriff’s policy of honoring “immigration detainers,” which are requests from U.S. Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) to hold individuals in local custody past the time they are ordered released by a state judge.

According to the lawsuit, Guardado Rios was initially legally incarcerated in the jail on state misdemeanor charges, was awaiting his trial and should have been released from custody. He was granted a $1,000 bail, but according to the lawsuit Sheriff Jenkins refused to release him. When a friend of Guardado Rios’ tried to pay bail, he was advised not to as Guardado Rios would not be released even if the bail was paid. Guardado Rios remained in jail for three months after his initial bail was posted.

After his trial, a Culpeper County General District Court Judge ordered his immediate release on a sentence of time served, however he was held in jail for two additional days the lawsuit claims.

Unlike criminal warrants, immigration detainers are not signed by a judge and do not authorize a local jail to continue to incarcerate an individual. Courts across the country have found that holding immigrants on ICE detainers violates their constitutional rights.

Jenkins still faces a lawsuit filed

by Culpeper residents Michael V. McClary and Christina Stockton on behalf of the ACLU in November 2018 centered around Jenkins decision to enter into a 287(g) contract with the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement that allows sheriff’s deputies to perform certain In April 2018, Jenkins signed a memorandum of understanding with ICE for the 287(g) program.

What’s Happening JULY 19 FILM • “The Wages of Fear”

(Distributors Corporation of America, DCA), 1953) In a squalid South American oil town, four desperate men sign on for a suicide mission to drive trucks loaded with nitroglycerin over a treacherous mountain route. As they ferry their explosive cargo to a faraway oil fire, each bump and jolt tests their courage, their friendship, and their nerves. The result is one of the greatest thrillers ever committed to celluloid, a white-knuckle ride from France’s legendary master of suspense, Henri-Georges Clouzot. This French-Italian production stars Yves Montand and is based on the 1950 French novel Le salaire de la peur (The Salary of Fear) by Georges Arnaud. 147 min.

Presented in a new 35mm print created from a complete HD digital restoration, courtesy of Janus Films. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken.

Our goal is to do that in a safe, clean and comfortable environment, part of that is to provide the public with clean restroom facilities and even a way to rinse off by way of an outside shower head just like as if you were at the beach,” offered Mr. Esh.

VIEWS A Surprise for the Man Who Has Everything Every year, each of us, who are breathing in and out, celebrate a birthday.

As we get older, we complain about birthdays, but quite honestly the alternative sucks.

When birthdays come around, those who truly care about us try to find that special gift to make the day memorable. Oh sure, the obligatory birthday cards get picked out with tender loving care.

The Yard Sale Queen always helps our sweet and darling Yorkie Riley pick out a cute card for my birthday with a gift card to some local restaurant enclosed. Thank you, Riley.

But the Yard Sale Queen has a terrible time finding that perfect gift for me.

“You are the hardest person to buy for,” she whined. “You have everything and, if you don’t have it, you just go out and buy it.”

Well, I don’t have “everything.” I am still, four years later, waiting for that 80-inch HDTV. See, how easy I am to buy for.

Sometimes, she just caves in and asks what I want and we go pick it out. No secret there, but it’s the thought that counts.

This year, she really outdid herself.

After more than 13 years together, I know she can be sneaky, conniving and cunning.

My sweet Yard Sale Queen surprised me, big time, this year.

When I got up, I staggered, with sleep still in my eyes, into the kitchen

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Don't tax/don't spend limits the community After more than 60 years of living in Northern Virginia and quite a search, my husband and I made the decision to declare Culpeper as the spot that would be our final home. In our nearly 5 years here we have never regretted that decision. It has been a perfect compromise for this big city girl who never lived outside the Capital beltway and her husband who grew up in the small towns of Virginia’s Eastern Shore and Appalachian mountains. For this Red and Blue couple, Culpeper provides us with friendly neighbors, great shops and restaurants, rural views, charming parades, racial and

for my daily cup of coffee.

On the counter sat three glass display cases. Two were filled and one was empty. One held a “coveted” and extremely rare and valuable UVA football autographed by fired football Coach Mike London. I won that in a raffle several years ago just weeks after his firing. Sadly, I don’t think I could pay eBay to take the ball.

Another glass case held a soccer ball autographed by many of the players from last year’s UVA women’s soccer team. Suffice it to say, that is special. The Yard Sale Queen and I love that program.

The third case was empty. Now an empty case is about as useful as the one with the Mike London football.

The Yard Sale Queen told me that she was hoping to have a basketball signed by Tony Bennett, the head coach of the 2019 NCAA Men’s Basketball Champion Wahoos.

“Are you kidding me?” I thought.

At a fundraiser two years in a row, I had bid on a Tony Bennett signed basketball, including one I had helped get signed for the fundraiser. I lost both times. The Yard Sale Queen and I love Tony Bennett, in a professional way, of course.

But there was no basketball, until recently.

Now a UVA Nike brand basketball sits in the glass case proudly on display.

“Wally, Go Hoos. Tony Bennett,” it reads.

I am so proud of that. I am

absolutely giddy.

So how did all this happen?

One day, several months before my birthday she somehow got my phone and looked up a number of a friend, with UVA connections. She told him her plan and he agreed try to help make it happen, with the soccer ball and basketball.

She went to Michaels and purchased the three cases and hid them.

With the valuable Mike Londonsigned football in hand, the soccer and basketball took time.

I later learned that the soccer ball came from Morgan Stearns, a four-year starter and record holding goalkeeper, who we know.

Getting the basketball proved a bit more problematic. I think Coach Bennett was a tad bit busy after winning the national championship Apr. 8. He had speaking engagements, interviews, recruiting and a vacation with his wife on his agenda. Signing basketball wasn’t high on his priority list.

But all good things come to those who wait.

The Yard Sale Queen got me. Boy did she get me on that one. I will treasure those gifts until my dying days.

Which makes me think. Do they make coffins large enough to hold a soccer ball and basketball and of course that valuable football?

religious diversity, and the whole world of movies. Wait. Back up. Did I just say we are a Red and Blue couple? I did; and it has never been a problem because when it comes to Red, White and Blue, we are both equally patriotic. Patriotism isn’t a question of party affiliation or parades. Having differences of opinion, exploring options, and making compromises aren't tests of loyalty. Patriotism and loyalty hinge on democratically joining together to address problems in our communities.

As recent transplants to Culpeper, my husband and I also applaud our choice when we see the Town’s Treasurer’s Office has received the Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting

by the Government Finance Officers Association of the U.S. and Canada. It is reassuring to know our local officials take their fiscal responsibilities seriously and hold themselves accountable through the transparent reporting of how our tax dollars are spent.

It is unreassuring, however, to see the cycle of don’t tax/don’t spend practices in counties like Culpeper. Yes, I came from a high tax area. It’s where I received a first-class public education that enabled me to get a well paying job, enjoyed the security of police and fire protection, had access to public amenities like community centers, the arts, a clean environment, and health care. The wealthy will always have everything they need; so when they

convince the less well off to keep taxes low, it not only enhances their wealth, but keeps regular folks’ schools, public services, access to well paying jobs, and ability to pay taxes in a selfperpetuating cycle of severe limitation.

Don’t have a good education, can’t get a good job, can’t afford taxes, community suffers, worry and fear, attack each other, repeat, repeat, repeat.

Someone needs to remind those who economically and politically gain by perpetuating this short-sighted cycle of don’t tax/don’t spend that they are accountable to the citizenry. Make them accountable when you vote on November 5.

Stewarding of a Life How important is maintaining your child’s quality of life in Katherine Charapich the event you are no longer on this earth? That love, protection, provision, and safety on which they have come to rely can be planned for in the event something happens to you.

The Code of Virginia provides in § 64.2-1700 Natural Guardians, that “the parents of an unmarried minor child are the joint natural guardians of the person of such child with equal legal powers and legal rights with regard to such child, provided that the parents are living together, are respectively competent to transact their own business, and are not otherwise unsuitable. Upon the death of either parent, the survivor shall be the natural guardian of the person of such child.”

What happens upon the occurrence of death of both parents?

Estate planning has tenets of risk management. It is rare that a parent of a minor child would knowingly leave anything related to their child to chance. Hence, using an estate planning document, like a Last Will and Testament, to plan in the event neither parent is able to care for a minor child is sound provision.

Take what recently occurred in my office. Different clients. Same goal. To shepherd and protect. The first to affect good stewardship of all ages, the second focusing on that of her minor children.

Spending time with clients often affords me the opportunity to learn from them. In the midst of the dialogue with the first client, a word was shared about the effects of folly on all generations. My mind immediately reflected on a book that I had read to my children when they were young that referenced a character called, “Loud Lady Folly.”

Searching thru boxes hours after regular business hours were long gone, I found it! The children’s book, “A Mouse in Solomon’s House,” was unearthed. The precious book filled with a storyline based on Proverbs 3:13 (KJV) “Happy is the man that findeth wisdom, and the man that getteth understanding,” resonates with foundational truths written in prose for those with younger ears, but applicable for all.Those principles were shared from parent to child – Don’t engage in folly. Be a good steward of your resources and time. Remain humble. Speak the truth. Most

ESTATE STEWARDSHIP

importantly – Stay within the shadow of Wisdom.

These same precepts were concerns expressed by the second client as she referenced her minor children. The questions posed – Who can I trust to take care of my children if my husband and I are in a fatal accident? Am I able to select that person? Can I direct funds to be used for the benefit of my minor children? Will I be able to express my intent for the education of my children, their religious upbringing, and the fundamentals taught to them? § 64.2-1701 of the Code of Virginia - Testamentary Guardians, provides a means for a parent in her Last Will and Testament to nominate and appoint a guardian for a minor child in the event her spouse fails to survive her, or if her spouse cannot serve as guardian of their minor children. “Every parent may by will appoint (i) a guardian of the person of his minor child and (ii) a guardian for the estate bequeathed or devised by the parent to his minor child for such time during the minor's infancy as the parent directs. A guardian of a minor's estate shall have custody and control of the estate committed to his care. A guardian of the person of a minor other than a parent is not entitled to custody of the person of the minor so long as either of the minor's parents is living and such parent is a fit and proper person to have custody of the minor.”

Perhaps most parents feel that there simply is no one who could take his or her place. Reasonable questions to ask when considering whether a person would make an appropriate guardian of your minor child include: Would they provide a stable and loving home environment? Do they have similar values? Do they have the same faith and practice of worship as you?

Thought should also be given to what happens if you name a couple as the guardian(s) and they are separated or divorced. In addition, does the person you are considering as a guardian have children of her own? And, if so, would they be compatible with your children?

What scenario would provide for the most continuity and least disruption? For example, if that person were to become guardian would your children be uprooted from their home, neighborhood, friends, and schools?

All of those questions were ones I contemplated when what seems like years ago, wanting to protect the interests of my then minor children, including addressing their care upon my death, executing

a Last Will and Testament with guardianship language was my first official estate planning document.

Knowing that I had put in place a structure and provision for the care of those little ones who depended on me, brought me a great deal of peace.

Realizing that same peace is often experienced by a client who has memorialized care for her minor children in the event something happens to the client. Often a client has family members who have expressed a willingness to be named as guardian. In addition to family members, some clients also name trusted friends. When an individual is nominated and appointed in a Last Will and Testament as a guardian of a minor and is willing to accept such a role, that person is required to appear in the court in which the Last Will and Testament is admitted to probate within six months after the probate to accept the guardianship.

Until a parent who has minor children executes a Last Will and Testament, she will not have the confidence that she has affected all she could to ensure that relatives or strangers will not become embroiled in litigation regarding the care of her children upon her death. Taking no proactive action will leave the appointment up to the circuit court, which will appoint the person who the circuit court determines will serve in the best interests of the minor.

A parent who is addressing the care of her children may simultaneously address assets used for the care of her children.

The same person who may be the one who will unconditionally love your children and raise them as if they are her own, may not be ideal at managing the assets for their benefit. Speaking with an estate planning attorney about who would be most appropriate in such a fiduciary role, and whether the origination of the administration of those assets should occur through your Last Will and Testament in a testamentary trust, or in a revocable trust is an essential component of consideration.

Our children are entrusted to us – they are our most important gift. Using wisdom imparted to us and taking action is paramount.

Guarding our children now and putting in place structures and provisions for their future is good stewardship.

'Musical Fireworks' Dazzle at Culpeper Baptist Church

By Nicole Empie Special to the Culpeper Times Over 100 musicians from 13 different area church choirs, the Blue Ridge Chorale, Windmore’s Piedmont Community Band, and Culpeper Baptist Church’s Hand Bell Choir treated an audience of about 550 to an evening of patriotic “musical fireworks” Sunday.

Each of the masterful performances awed and inspired with acoustics that sparkled in the beautiful Culpeper Baptist Sanctuary.

The patriotic celebration was the fifth of seven free concerts offered to the community by the church’s 2019 Concert Series. Randall Sheets (organ), Louisa Loe (piccolo and flute), and Chuck Seipp (trumpet) accompanied the choir and also delighted the audience with spectacular solo performances.

Pastor Dan Carlton of Culpeper Baptist Church and Randall Sheets, the church’s organist and choir director, started the concert series only last year and it has been a huge success and benefit to the community, offering enriching cultural performances to all of the community, free of charge. Carlton said of the series, “Randy Sheets initiated the patriotic concert and the entire series. We are fortunate to have him on our staff. He is an amazing musician who has an incredible network of talented friends. All of the concerts have been great, but we had the U.S. Army Chorus earlier this year, and they were just stunning! We really want to lift up the arts in Culpeper and our sanctuary is a great venue for music.”

Sheets said of the concert series, “I have always felt that if a church has a good space, good organ, piano, etc., that musical concert series are a wonderful way to reach out to the community who may not be involved in Sunday worship with us. It's also a way to incorporate musical styles and ensembles that may not be heard in worship and share them in a wider way.”

Inviting other churches to participate in the patriotic community choir was a part of its inception. Sheets said, “Culpeper seemed to me to be a very patriotic community that would support a patriotic event--as I work at Arlington National Cemetery supporting military funerals and my trumpet partner, Chuck Seipp, retired from the U.S. Army Band (Pershing's Own), it is only natural for us to want to continue recognizing veterans in other ways as well.”

As printed in the concert’s program, its mission is the “celebration of our nation’s heritage, a melting pot of many ethnicities and ideals, dedicated to: freedom, equality, justice, opportunity, innovation, generosity, religious freedom.” Of this “Celebrating Ameri-

ca” concert, Carlton said, “I like the patriotic concert because it ‘kicks off’ the July 4 week in Culpeper and it brings choirs together--most of the choirs that are participating do not have the opportunity to sing with a mass choir-it is quite a treat for them and the audience.”

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’s Culpeper congregation was invited to participate in the celebration and 17 of the 70 choir participants came from that congregation. Deborah Suche, who directed the group of eight members of the Church of Jesus Christ in preparation to participate in the interfaith choir last year, saw that participation more than double this year. Two of those performers were Brody Caras and Isaiah Patterson, missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ, serving in the Culpeper area from Utah and Nevada. Both young men were grateful for the unique opportunity and invitation to participate in a diverse interfaith choir, something neither had ever experienced before. For Patterson, the opportunity was especially significant because the concert was his first time being in a Baptist Church. Uniting with people of other faiths in a celebration of their country and their freedoms was a profound and singular experience for both missionaries.

One of the youngest choir performers, 12-year-old Abigail Cruzan, a member of Culpeper’s Latter-day Saint congregation, said she most “loved hearing the trumpet and flute being played with the organ.” Abby’s 17-year-old brother, Jake Cruzan, also a Latter-day Saint and performer in the choir both last year and this year said that his favorite part of the performance was singing “The Battle Hymn of the Republic.” He said it is “my favorite religious song...can’t go wrong with it. I love singing it and listening to it, probably my favorite song out of the hymnbook.” Both of these young musicians hope this patriotic celebration will continue and that they can return to perform with the Culpeper Baptist Church and others in the community next year.

Carlton expressed his hopes for the future of the community concert, saying, “we would love to increase the numbers and diversity of the people participating in Celebrating America--this has been a ‘word of mouth’ thing so far and we need to get more intentional about reaching out to other community groups that enjoy singing/music.”

Sheets commented on the experience working with churches and community members outside of Culpeper Baptist Church’s choir: “It is a means of education and professional growth to work with other church musicians--it also develops a support system with

Bringing all our resources together allows us to attempt musical works none of us could do as well (or at all) with our individual musical ensembles. The sum is definitely greater than the individual parts. We have always been open to incorporating all who are interested to join us regardless of affiliation.”

The complete concert was live-

streamed and a recording can be viewed on Culpeper Baptist Church’s YouTube page (https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=H0cJ8i9Vc9s).

A group of Future Farmers of America (FFA) students at Eastern View High School will head to Indianapolis in October to compete at the national level on the issue of solar farming.

The students — MaKayla Craig, Sarah Southard, Hayley Henry, Aiden Lusk, Elizabeth Bates, and Eryn Twomey — earned first place in Agriculture Issues at the state FFA conference in June in Blacksburg.

Craig, who graduated in May, was also elected FFA President and will serve in that position during the next year.

“Our members worked very hard to be successful at State Convention and their hard work paid off,” said Melessa Suder, adviser for the FFA program at Eastern View.

To win, the group had to research and present their knowledge on solar farming to a panel of judges at state competition. According to the Solar Trade Association, solar farming is the large-scale application of solar photovoltaic (PV) panels on established farmland that is used to generate green, clean electricity at scale. This electricity is fed directly into the power grid to provide electricity to homes and businesses.

“I learned a whole lot of information about solar farming during our research,” said Elizabeth Bates, a rising sophomore. “The one aspect that really stuck out for me was the requirements and preparation for the installation of the solar panels. When I was younger, I just assumed that the companies would just place them on a piece of land and call it a day. However, that is not the case.

“The fact that they have to hire multiple operations to survey the land and see if they are near high voltage lines, etc. It just fascinates me that there are so many prerequisites for these solar panels.”

The winning group, which consisted of one senior, one junior, one sophomore, and three freshmen, met four hours weekly since January to work on their project. They even reached out to a solar farming executive and interviewed her by phone to learn more about the topic for their presentation.

The group learned skills they will take far beyond the FFA competition, members said.

“Going into this competition in January, we realized that this was going to take time and a sufficient amount of work to be successful,” Bates said. “We had to be patient and not rush our work. Communication was also key. We would split the research into separate parts and would plan our next practices.”

As part of the competition, the group had to create a portfolio of their research and present

their work to a variety of local groups including Culpeper County administrators, the Farm Bureau Board of Directors, officials with the Culpeper Extension Office, the Farm Bureau’s Young Farmers group, the Culpeper County Soil and Water Conservation District representatives, and the Culpeper Farmers Cooperative staff.

The students would take questions from each group and use those for their research, Suder said. Last month, they presented their research at competition by having each team member “perform” as a person involved in the solar farming business — the farmer, a county official, a solar power representative, an environmentalist, a tourism director, and a community member.

“I am really proud of the hard work and dedication these students have put towards this event and ultimately their victory,” Suder said.

“They have learned a great deal about solar farming, but they have also proven to themselves that they can do those things they set their minds to. This group has been the most dedicated team I have worked with in the 15 years of teaching and coaching FFA teams.”

The EV team was one of five school groups to compete at state competition in June. Once school begins, the group will prepare for the national competition that will be held from October 30 to November 2 in Indianapolis, where the FFA headquarters is located.

Because of their win, the members will not be able to compete in the same FFA competition during their high school career, Suder said.

EV Principal Dr. Felix Addo said the FFA team is just one example of the great work students are doing outside of the classroom.

“Congratulations to our FFA students and teachers for a monumental year which was highlighted by a first place award at the FFA State Convention,” Addo said. “We are excited and so proud of [the students] on this great accomplishment. We recognize and appreciate their efforts and dedication in preparation for the competition and ultimately the execution.

“A special congratulations to MaKayla Craig, Virginia State FFA President-elect 2019-2020 school year. MaKayla, we are happy and proud of you. You guys ROCK and Go Cyclones!”

Also at state competition, the school’s floriculture team earned seventh place overall with members Rebecca Schulte, Briana Walker, Cristal Figueroa and Marlen Orellana. Schulte also placed seventh individually.

Eastern View was recognized as a superior chapter and members Craig, Schulte, Orellana, Callie Gothard and Shiyenne St. Clair earned FFA Virginia State Degrees, the highest individual honor a student can receive.

Weekly Tarotscope for July 18: King Of Pentacles, The Hanged Man TAROTSCOPES

The King of Pentacles is Cara Cutro stable, consistent, and true to his word. This is a solid, plentiful, and abundant energy. He represents the idea or personality that is consistent with fulfillment of the soul’s purpose. The presence of this card speaks to being true to yourself and trusting in the stability and promise of putting the work in.

If you are determined and focused on a goal, know that the King of Pentacles promises success. This is the “King Midas” of the Tarot.

Meeting your commitments, taking responsibility, and honing your skills are all highlighted this week. If you want what the King of Pentacles has to offer, you must behave in kind.

Coupled with The Hanged Man, we know that there may appear to be a period of waiting, or a feeling of

having our hands tied in some way.

This is temporary, as indicated by the strength and promise of the King of Pentacles. The Hanged Man asks us to surrender to the process.

Our Fibrex® material is

2X STRONGER THAN VINYL

Why have our customers chosen us over another window company?

1. Fibrex® Material Our Fibrex material was researched by Andersen for 30 years before it was installed in even one home. Our Fibrex material is twice as strong as vinyl.

2. Unique Look

Our window has the elegant look and strength of a wood window, but our Fibrex material doesn’t demand the same maintenance of wood.*

3. Accountability

There’s no frustrating “middle man” to deal with. We sell, build, install and warrant both our windows and installation.
