LOCAL NEWS Town committee drops topic of moving elections ➤ Referendum in 2013 moved elections to November, town had been discussing moving back to May

Culpeper Times Staff Writer Culpeper Town Council’s Personnel and Ordinance Committee heard the public loud and clear don’t touch the elections.

On the agenda at the committee’s monthly meeting was a discussion of moving the town

election from November back to May. In 2013, voters of Culpeper passed Referendum 1 with 85% of the vote to move town elections for mayor and council from May to the November ballot in the odd year elections. The move more than doubled voter participation in town elections from 4,033 in May 2014 to over 8,873 in November 2017. The move to November saved taxpayers $12,000 per election.

Prior to the committee even discussing the matter, several members of the community stood up to express their displeasure with the council even thinking about going against the will of the voters.

Harold Boyd, of Culpeper, was the first to speak and set the tone for the public’s opinion.

“I’m in opposition of the change in the charter going back to the May elections,” he said. “Looking at the history of the ordinance, it was moved back to May in favor of poll taxes. The idea was to keep minority voting down.”

Boyd pointed out that the number of voters increased in the first election after it was moved to May and questioned whether taxpayers should have to foot the bill to move it back to November.

Rosemarie Herrity, the only non town resident to speak, said she was offended when she read a recent newspaper article alleging the voting public was not well informed when it came to the November election.

“That’s your job, to educate the people,” she said. “You are the ones who are to inform us, it doesn’t matter if it is a May or November election.”

She also asked about where the estimated more than $12,000 would come from to move the election back to May. Town resident R.J. Sosna also spoke against the move, again pointing out it would cost taxpayer dollars.

“I’m kind of curious how this all came about,” Sosna said. “More concerned about the water level

at Mountain Run Lake than they are about moving the election.”

Jeffery Mitchell, of Culpeper, said the discussion caught him by surprise.

“It can’t be a groundswell of public change,” he said. “I’d like to see it stay the way it is.”

Ed Dunphy, of Culpeper, thought that the confusion about the town election being moved to November would dissipate as there were more repetitions of the process.

The effect it would have on minority voters was a concern of town resident Thunder Lane.

“I’m concerned it will go back to the good old boys ways in the past,” he said.

After the public spoke, Town Councilwoman Megan Taylor said they should just let the matter die, as the public has spoken in favor of November elections. The topic was dropped from the agenda.

Town councilman Jon Russell commended the public for speaking out on the matter.

“Town citizens of Culpeper were the ones who put an end to this foolish talk of overturning 85% of the voters,” Russell said.

“Through emails, phone calls and street conversations with council members the message was loud and clear. November town elections are here to stay.”

3rd Annual CAYA 5K set for Sept. 22 in Rixeyville When Moira Satre lost her 31-yearold son, Bobby, to a heroin overdose in April 2015, she decided to be part of the fight against substance abuse. Since then a new coalition called CAYA, Come As You Are, has been working within the community to provide support and treatment options to those struggling with addiction as well as to create greater awareness through education and prevention programs.

Drug addiction is the third leading cause of death in America. Indeed, it has been identified as a national epidemic.

Staging the 3rd annual 5K run on Saturday, Sept. 22, at 9 a.m. continues the effort to raise funds to achieve CAYA’s goals.

In 2017 over 200 runners registered for the event; monies raised through fees and sponsorships far exceeded goals set. Funds raised in 2018 will continue to support existing programs. The event will take place again at Verdun Adventure Bound on Route 229 in Rixeyville.

Online advance registration at www. cayacoalition.org or by mail to P.O. Box 3457, Warrenton, Va., 20188 is $25 and extends through September 13th; registration the day of the race (7:30- 8:45 a.m.) is $30. Tee shirts are guaranteed only to those who preregister.

Awards will be given to the top overall male and female runners as well as to the top two male and female runners in each 5 year age category.

CAYA, Come As You Are, is a substance abuse support and prevention non-profit. To learn more about the organization, visit www.cayacoalition. org; like them on Facebook; or follow them on Twitter Instagram..

Culpeper Big Latch On set for Aug. 4

By Jeff Say

Culpeper Times Staff Writer The Big Latch On is helping break down stigmas associated with breastfeeding.

The sixth annual event, organized by Cindy Curtis - owner of owner of Pink Cocoon, a lactation consulting business in Culpeper - will be held Aug. 4 at 9 a.m. at Yowell Meadow Park. Last year 76 moms and 78 nurslings participated in the event and the largest event was in 2015 with 104 moms participating.

“Culpeper is just a really supportive community for mothers and children,” Curtis said. “We have always had terrific support from vendors and businesses in the community.”

Curtis said there is a law in place in Virginia that moms are allowed to breastfeed wherever they are legally allowed to be - but there is still some that frown on the practice.

“There is still a stigma a lot of moms face for breastfeeding in public,” Curtis said. “I do feel the com-

munity is more open to it. I think we just need to keep supporting moms to breastfeed anywhere they want to.”

Curtis sang the praises of breastfeeding, pointing out that children who breastfeed are healthier, have less risk of infections, have better vision, have less need for braces, are less likely to be obese later in life and have less chance of getting cancer.

“As a community we need to continue to support these young moms with breastfeeding because there are so many benefits,” Curtis said.

“Breastfeeding is better for the moms, it’s healthier for the baby.

Of course it’s healthier for the mom and the baby but it does extend further than that. It’s healthier for the environment.”

Breast milk, is of course all natural and Curtis said it is ever changing.

“One of my favorite facts about breast milk is that breast milk has over 400 ingredients, formula has about 40,” Curtis said.

The Big Latch On is a national event, but Culpeper’s participation

In fact, Curtis said that Culpeper is the closest for many communities as the next closest location is in Richmond or Washington, D.C. In 2017, over 50,000 people came together to celebrate 18,036 breastfeeding women in 23 countries, through 725 locations to breastfeed 17,790 children who latched on at the count.

Curtis is hoping for more than 100 moms again.

“Moms are really good about sharing the event with others,” Curtis said. “It’s such a bonding event for the moms.”

BIZ BIO The People of Wellspring: Mariam Popal, DPM Podiatrist Mariam Popal, DPM, can thank her own bad ankles for her career.

“I was an athlete in high school with a lot of foot and ankle ailments,” Popal explains. “I saw my podiatrist frequently and he introduced me to the field. Later, my passion for podiatry grew when I shadowed him at his practice, and later, when I worked for him.”

As Foot and Ankle Specialist at Wellspring, Popal is doing what she loves in a work environment she describes as “a wonderful place where teamwork and togetherness are emphasized.”

“I have worked in the hospital setting and small office setting and have seen how things work there,” Popal said. “Wellspring is different. I fell in love with Wellspring because they are a team of individuals with the biggest hearts, a passion for providing excellent care, a drive to treat everyone with utmost respect, and a willingness to work as a team for excellence.”

Popal’s areas of specialty include a wide range of conditions and treatments, including geriatric and pediatric care, foot and ankle Dr. Mariam Popal surgery, wound care of all types, dermatological care for the foot and ankle, and management of foot and ankle care of individuals with diabetes and peripheral vascular disease. She has more than 10 years in the field, beginning with her residency at Georgetown University’s MedStar Washington Hospital in 2006, followed by the establishment of her private practice in 2009.

A native-born Virginian, Popal sees some of the Commonwealth’s best qualities on display in the Culpeper area.

“I love this area,” Popal said. “The people, the beauty, the old town feel, and all of the history here—there is a community feel here and I love being a part of it.”

Culpeper named Virginia's 'Prettiest Town'

By Jeff Say

Culpeper Times Staff Writer Culpeper is the prettiest town in Virginia, according to Architectural Digest.

In the July 16 edition, Culpeper was picked as Virginia’s representative in an article titled “The prettiest town in every U.S. state,” by travel writer Kristine Hansen.

The magazine describes Culpeper as: “Just an hour from Washington, D.C., Culpeper is a popular weekend getaway, with shops, cafés, and boutiques tucked into tall historic buildings downtown and — farther out — wineries and cycling routes.”

“For me I’m very excited for Culpeper to be recognized by such a large publication, it just goes to show how special of a town we have,” Culpeper Chamber of Commerce President/CEO Wes Mayles said.

Paige Read, Director of Economic Development and Tourism, said that it was a huge honor to be recognized by a publication the size of Architectural Digest.

“It really just brings destination awareness, it’s a powerhouse of a

Culpeper was named the Prettiest Town in Virginia in the July 16 edition of Architecural Digest. list and we are in great company,” Read said. “Many of these places have much wider name recognition. This really helps elevate us, the destination awareness is very phenomenal and we should be honored. It’s well deserved.”

Mayles said it isn’t just the natural beauty of the town, but also those that live in it that makes Culpeper special.

“The diversity we have in the town with the different businesses and different activities is impressive,” Mayles said. “We have a healthy population in terms of people in the town and we continue to grow and support each other.”

Mayles pointed to Culpeper’s history, it’s natural beauty - such as the mountains, parks, lakes and forests - and the beautiful archi-

tecture downtown as reasons for Culpeper’s “prettiness.”

Culpeper Town Manager Chris Hively said the designation is quite the honor.

"Being named the prettiest town in Virginia is something citizens should be proud of," Hively said. "It's a testament to the pride in our town and to all of our hard work."

Culpeper Times • July 26-August 1, 2018

The Culpeper Ruritan Club is looking for members.

Like many civic organizations in the community, the Ruritan club has seen its membership slowly dwindling from the heyday of its founding in the 1950s. One of four Ruritan clubs in Culpeper County - along with Lignum, Salem and Jeffersonton - the Culpeper club has struggled to find younger members.

Club president Scott Fisher said part of that is due to Culpeper’s reputation as a bedroom community.

“With our county, we have so many people who work in the county but they work up in Northern Virginia,” Fisher said.

“They come home, it’s late at night, they’re tired. The only time they have is weekends and they spend that with their families.

It’s definitely hard to get the people with kids.”

Fisher said that a majority of the members are retirement age, which is helpful when it comes to their schedules being open but they would like to have a younger dedicated group also emerge.

“It’s great to have retirement age folks, and civic groups have really relied on retirement age people,” Fisher said. “But we’d sort of like to get them in before retirement age.”

The Ruritan Club was probably best known for their annual Culpeper Day, but that event has been sporadic in the last few years and this year is still in discussions. For years it was held on Davis Street, which helped the club’s visibility, but in recent years it has been held at The Ole Country Store or the Culpeper Baptist

Church.

“We don’t honestly know if we’re going to have one this year,” Fisher said. “A lot of people did know us when we were on Davis Street. We’ve been thinking about putting it in the Depot area, but we just have to think a lot about it.”

Spreading the word about the club has become harder as they’ve become less visible, but Fisher said the important part is letting people know of the impact they have on the community.

“To me it’s word of mouth, it’s more of letting people know what we do,” Fisher said. “I’m a strong believer that if you have a project and you don’t let people know that you’re the group putting on the project, the project didn’t happen.”

The Ruritan Club provides two $750 scholarships to both Culpeper County High School and Eastern View High School and those funds are raised by their annual oyster sale - which has become their biggest fundraiser - and other smaller projects.

This year they helped with the Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby and packing lunches for impoverished families with Mitchells Presbyterian Church. Fisher said the organization is moving away from fundraising and trying to focus on helping other organizations.

“It’s about trying to find organizations that might need help with a certain project and if we can provide the manpower for it,” Fisher said.

Ed Dunphy, who recently retired from CFC Farm & Home Center, is one of the newer members, joining in just the last three months.

➤ Ruritan, from Page 6 and I started talking about reviving Culpeper Day,” Dunphy said. “I told them I’d like to join their group, get involved and maybe that can be an end result.”

Dunphy said the problem with recruiting new members is at its heart, an issue with the county and the town and development of businesses that will attract a younger population.

“Long term, it’s an economic development thing,” Dunphy said. “The more you’re going to have local jobs, the more people you’ll have involved in civic activities.”

Membership for the Ruritan Club is $55 a quarter or $180 to pay upfront for a whole year.

They meet the first Monday of the month at 7 p.m. at Novant Health UVA Health System Culpeper Medical Center and have guest speakers come in monthly.

Fisher said those interested in the organization can visit www.culpeperruritans. org or email him at scottfisher63@gmail. com.

“I think one thing that makes us unique in a community organization is that Ruritan clubs don’t have any specific guideline, they go into the community and see what the best thing they can do for that community is,” Fisher said.

Salem Ruritan Awards over $5,000 in Scholarships

The Salem Ruritan Club again awarded three $1,500 scholarships this year, one each to graduating seniors at Culpeper County High School, Eastern View High School and Rappahannock County High School. The scholarships were based on a combination of academic achievement, community service and financial need. In addition to those scholarships, a $600 scholarship was awarded to a graduating senior planning to study law enforcement or criminal justice and a $200 donation was made to the scholarship fund of the NAACP Culpeper Branch.

The recipients for the 2018 $1,500 scholarships are Connor McEwen of Culpeper County High School, who plans to attend Germanna Community College; Brittany Schulz of Eastern View High School who is planning to attend Radford University; Tatyana Yates of Rappahannock County High School and Tatyana has plans to attend Christopher Newport University. Walker Chilton of Eastern View High School was the recipient of the $600 Law Enforcement scholarship and Walker plans to attend the University of Mary Washington.

The Salem Ruritan Club gives thanks to the many citizens and businesses that support their fund raising activities that make these scholarships possible, such as the “Annual July 4th Raffle.”

HOME & GARDEN Summer wildflowers bloom in the Limberlost I don’t usually get cabin fever in the summer, but after all the rain and then heat, combined with writing and editing deadlines that kept me glued to my computer, I finally had to get out and enjoy what I was writing about.

Being out of shape, I figured an easy but interesting walk was what I needed.

As I often do, I called up my friend and fellow master naturalist Robin Williams to see if she wanted to join me for a walk July 13 along the Limberlost Trail in Shenandoah National Park.

I realized I hadn’t walked the trail this time of year for probably 20 years, at least not since I’d become a master naturalist and decided to focus on writing about nature. Adapted for wheelchairs, the mostly flat, 1.1-mile

WILD IDEAS Pam Owen

trail loops through what was an ancient hemlock forest until the hemlock woolly adelgid, a nonnative insect, killed most of them. The trail’s surface is good, and wood walkways and bridges have been built over wet areas, which makes this an easy walk more than a hike. The way Robin and I walk it — stopping every few feet to look at and photograph plants and animals we find and often sitting down to check references for information about them — it usually takes us more than two hours for what should be maybe a half hour of easy strolling.

The day was promising to be hot and humid in Sperryville, but at the trail’s elevation, the weather was relatively cool and dry, with clouds occasionally rolling through. While the clouds sometimes presented photographic challenges in what was already a shady walk, I managed to get photos of species that were not already in my catalog and, in some cases, I hadn’t seen in the wild before. Among the native wildflowers that were blooming or had progressed

➤ Wild, from Page 8 fleabane (Erigeron philadelphicus), fly poison (Amianthium muscitoxicum), Indian pipe (Monotropa uniflora) and white bergamot (Monarda clinopodia).

The last two species were especially interesting to me, because I don’t remember having seen them before and was glad to add them to my catalog.

The ghostly Indian pipe, translucent and fleshy, has a flower that’s hardly recognizable as such that bends over into the shape of a pipe. Also called ghost flower, this was the most difficult flower to photograph on the walk because it loves dark places and is often obscured by rotted logs that provide it with nutrients.

I had been going after a shot of an eastern towhee that Robin had spotted when I found the Indian pipe, at which point I changed to my macro lens, the fastest lens (requiring the least light) I have and took a bunch of shots of the bizarre-looking plants. Shooting with and without a flash and with my camera and cell phone, I ended up with only a few that were enough in focus to use, but I was happy to have any.

The white bergamot, which Robin also spotted, was in varying stages of blooming, all of which were gorgeous.

This plant has a small flower, so I got out my magnifying tool to help us see more detail in each stage.

Along with the flowers, we found

interrupted fern, a large fern Robin had pointed out to me on another trip to the Limberlost.

Its name comes from the shriveled fertile leaflets, loaded down with the plant’s spores, that eventually fall off, creating a gap along the stem among the larger fertile fronds.

We found one rotting hemlock log that had a tiny red mushroom growing in a cavity that made the log look like a alligator with a demonic red eye.

Some hemlocks were taken down for safety reasons by the park, and others sprayed for the bug to preserve them as specimens and to possibly reestablish the grove. We saw a few young hemlocks that appeared adelgid free and were sporting new growth, giving hope that the mighty hemlocks will be restored one day.

In the meantime, with the death or removal of so many of the hemlocks, the forest canopy opened, enabling more sunlight to come through. The resulting increase in light enabled other species of plants and animals, some new to the area, to thrive, expanding biodiversity in the Limberlost. © 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.

Local News

Tapping into the teacher market Regardless of if we are ready or not, next week signals the start of the school year for staff here in Culpeper County.

There are several new teachers this year, and many new leadership appointments throughout CCPS. These new and existing staff will be looking to

purchase goods and services for the school year from their budgets, on top of out of pocket spending. A recent report by the National Center for Education Statistics found that during the 2015-2016 school year, 94% of teachers pay $479 a year out of pocket for school supplies. What can your business do to help our local teachers while in turn promoting and marketing your business?

hamburgers from businesses who offer an academic discount. Make sure you promote it over social media, at events on banners, signs and mailings.

Hold a school supply drive - Many local churches and businesses will hold back-to-school supply drives rather than donating these supplies directly to a particular school. These organizations will distribute supplies amongst a congregation or to a local non profit. Partners First Credit Union in Culpeper for example, has teamed up with local Non profit, SAFE to hold a drive on August 16th.

Anyone who donates at the Partners First ENTRY locationFEE at that time will be $85.00 entered to win a Gift Card too.

one on one time with a person will be reduced. It is therefore very important to stay concise and organized with your message. If you offer a teacher discount - this would be a great time to promote it.

Your promotional product should also be geared to the teacher and the type of supplies that they would find most useful, but more importantly, that are not so widely distributed.

For three years now, I have been conducting research with our local teachers to find out which promotional items they most appreciate. The results are surprising, particularly when you look at how they rank against each other.

A point of note - when collecting information from teachers such as names and emails, encourage them to use a personal email address. Their work email is for work, not receiving your marketing message, no matter how well it is intended..

HISTORY French Royalty in Culpeper: Really? Part One ZANN’S PLACE

This story was published several years ago and yet just two days ago, I received an email from a descendant who wanted to know what I had discovered. In the attempt to respect all the history of Culpeper and the heritage of this family, I have chosen to publish it again. There will be four to five parts in the series. Enjoy!

Recently while knocking around in the local courthouse, I came across a most intriguing document, a letter actually. Honestly, I do not know yet what to make of it. I have conducted a cursory investigation tapping the obvious clues and have discovered little that would better inform me and subsequently you of the real skinny related to the letter.

Zann Nelson

Be that as it may imply a lost cause, I decided to share the findings: just because it is so tantalizing!

The tiny little envelope addressed to the Citizens of Culpeper County was an attention grabber for sure and the fact that the document was found among dozens of arrest warrants from 1893 sealed my thirst to know more. Carefully, I unfolded the four-page hand-written dispatch.

Scanning the papers quickly as that was not the purpose of my excursion to the courthouse and my time was somewhat limited. The cursive penmanship was clear and the grammar excellent; this was composed by an educated author.

Though there are no preordered lines on the paper, each written line is evenly spaced from the one above and the one below. The intrigue was growing rapidly!

The brief examination revealed a few words that were enticing and I could feel myself being drawn into

that world of wonder and mystery: as if I needed another project! However, words like French nobleman, Russian Czar, duel, and criminal relationships with someone’s wife were calling me. How could I resist?

It was clear that this man was intending this missive to be the last one he would ever write. I was completely hooked. I made a copy, finished my intended research and headed out.

Once other matters had been satisfied, I sat down to the task of transcribing the full document. I

must say it was one of the easier ones I have attempted, despite the fact there remain a few words or names I have yet to decipher.

There are four persons named: Ivan Winarski of Russia; B.F. Showalter of Culpeper, M.S. Showalter, wife of B.F. and the author, Lewis Philippe Euj.{sic} Jerome Bonaparte de Ch. Edgar De D_____. Yep, I bet all the readers had the same reaction that I did: WOW! Was a member of the Bonaparte family living in Culpeper? Did he ➤ See French, Page 21

FILM • Pre-Code Double Feature “Downstairs” (MGM, 1932) John Gilbert stars as an unscrupulous chauffer who, soon after getting hired by a Baron and his wife (Reginald Owen and Olga Baclanova), proceeds to exploit both the mistresses of the house upstairs and the servants

downstairs. Directed by Monta Bell, this adult drama also features Paul Lukas and Virginia Bruce as the newlywed butler and maid of the household. Film critic Leonard Maltin wrote: “Gilbert delivers an audacious performance that more than any other redeems his maligned reputation as a ‘talkie’' actor; he also gets story credit for the film.” During the production Gilbert and Virginia Bruce fell in love and were married a week after the film’s premiere. 77 min. 35mm archival print. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken.

“Secret Sinners” (Mayfair Pictures, 1933) Margie Dodd (Cecilia Parker) lands a spot in the chorus of a night club variety show her friends (Sue Carol

and Nick Stuart) are in. Margie and her pals soon befriend Jeff Gilbert (Jack Mulhall), a friendly incognito millionaire who wants to mingle with the show folks. Gilbert helps Jimmy to get a music publishing business going but fails to mention to the besotted Margie that he’s still married – with a vengeful wife to boot. This back-stage drama features several entertaining and eccentric novelty acts along the way. 70 min. 35mm print produced by the Library of Congress Film Preservation lab in 2000. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken.

FILM • “Edge of Darkness” (Warner Bros., 1943) Errol Flynn and Ann Sheridan star in this powerful drama about a small Norwegian fishing village whose residents rise up and revolt against the occupying Nazis. Robert Rossen adapted the script from the 1942 novel “The Edge of Darkness” by William Woods which was published on April 9, the second anniversary of the German invasion of Norway.

Also in the cast are Walter Huston, Judith Anderson and Ruth Gordon.

Directed by Lewis Milestone, this film was a change in tone from his earlier anti-war masterpiece “All Quiet on the Western Front” (1930). Milestone was quoted as saying, “That film (AQWF) embodied the retrospective disillusionment toward another war.

In “Edge of Darkness” we are making a picture that has done away with disillusionment. We know the enemy we are fighting and we are facing the stern realities of the present war.

The moral is that 'united we stand, divided we fall.' That is the keystone for victory in all the democracies.” 120 min. 35mm archival print. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken.

What’s Happening JULY 28 FILM • “Willy Wonka and the

Chocolate Factory” (Paramount, 1971) Author Roald Dahl adapted his own novel, Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley wrote a memorable musical score, and producer David Wolper wisely cast Gene Wilder as Wonka in this film musical about a contest put on by an often-sadistic candy maker. Harkening back to the classic Hollywood musicals, "Willy Wonka" is surreal, yet playful at the same time, and suffused with Harper Goff's jaw-dropping color sets, which richly live up to the fanciful world found in one of the film's signature songs, "Pure Imagination." Wilder's brilliant portrayal of the enigmatic Wonka caused theatergoers to like and fear Wonka at the same time, while the hallucinogenic tunnel sequence has traumatized children (and adults) for decades. Added to the National Film Registry in 2014. Rated G, 100 min. Digital presentation. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken.

We all like to think we are fortified by the finest things we Marshall Conner eat or drink.

Perhaps if we only ate the food that we so lovingly photograph for social media we may be made of better things.

Admittedly, I’ve snapped few photos of my shrimp boils, oyster roasts, sushi artistry or the fish I caught with my fly rod — but like most people I also eat some food items that are best kept out of sight.

At my best I am the result of many wonderous dishes from the South — ranging from Cajun, soul food, Carolina BBQ, Jamaican jerk chicken and Chesapeake Bay Blue Crabs.

Then there is the dark side — a place where salty and sweet dance provocatively together. The other side of the culinary tracks — where Dorito dust tickles the tongue like a prom date from the wrong side of town.

In my childhood there were culinary monstrosities like microwave burgers, microwave milkshakes, Cheese-Wiz, pork rinds, pizza rolls, government cheese and ketchup-covered pizza.

My brothers and I used to make a dessert nicknamed “the Gremlin” that combined Welch’s grape juice and vanilla ice cream. Like the film Gremlins, it was best left alone after midnight.

Food and its aftermath are viewed differently by males and females.

I once saw a cartoon that showed

how delusional males can be as we age.

The drawing shows a middle-age guy short on hair and wide around the middle gazing happily at a mirror, in contrast, a slim attractive lady is gazing sadly into a mirror.

He sees his youthful self — she sees a heavy person even though she’s slim.

Like most guys I tend to think that if I played high school football or ran five-miles with a rucksack in the Army that’s how it will always be — but when I catch a glimpse of myself slurping a cerveza with mambo sauce on my beard I know that youth is fleeting.

Historically, we are a nation obsessed with food and appearance.

In contrast to many other food cultures, Americans are always living in a world of large portions and larger guilt.

I tend to love the less guiltridden food cultures of South America, Caribbean and Spain.

Their economies may rise and fall but they are still having a wonderful time — they enjoy that cigar, drink and salty grilled meat.

Did you know that dieting is a $20-billion-dollar industry in our country and there are 100 million people currently on a diet, according to a recent ABC News survey?

Did you know the 75-percent of all Americans think they are fat?

Did you know that people in other countries secretly chuckle when Americans come thundering off the stairs of cruise ships?

If we look at the Old Testament it tells us how humanity lost paradise?

A forbidden fruit!

Humans are so obsessed with food that one 18th century Italian artist Giuseppe Arcimboldo, painted

portraits of people with a mosaic of fruits and vegetables.

Can food explain war, fascism or empire building? Possibly.

There are books that try to link the rise Nazism to German cuisine, and there’s another historian who tried to link the British Empire to its citizens fleeing their own bland food culture.

Do countries conquer for food?

India and the Middle East might have a case.

Did food help win the Cold War? I would contend that one of the most effective weapons in freedom’s arsenal has always been food and more capitalism — it accomplishes what billions of defense dollars cannot.

In World War II GI’s used Hershey’s chocolates as currency.

Today’s soldiers barter with Tabasco.

In the 1980s, President Ronald Reagan had his Star Wars program that helped to break the economy of the old Soviet Union, but remember that it was also Ronald McDonald, who had a hand and perhaps a big floppy shoe in toppling the once mighty USSR. Once a McDonalds opened near the Kremlin Walls the end was near for the worker’s paradise.

The taste for capitalism, Big Macs and a Coke went straight to their little red hearts like fatty plaque to an artery.

Who wants to dominate the world when you can have two all-beef patties and a shake?

Keep the food guilt America.

I want to put on a hat, fly-fish and grill trout over fire with my culinary hero Chef Francis Mallman in Patagonia.

He once said, “Cooking is a silent language.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

YMCA Community Center, and the current Carver Center Vocational School will certainly improve the quality of life for our citizens in this community. I am an advocate of these endeavors.

This Board, previous Boards, and County Staff have been exceptional with budget considerations that will allow these projects to go forward with little tax implications. The County Administrator recently stated if County revenue remains the same the CTE School and the YMCA Community Center can be built with no tax increase. That is outstanding,

especially since Culpeper has the lowest tax rate in the region.

I truly believe this current Board of Supervisors is looking out for the best interests of our community as a whole, as demonstrated with moving forward to provide these opportunities to our people. Leading a successful community forward requires vision and tough decision making - traits I think this Board of Supervisors excels. What a great community we live in! Let’s Go Culpeper!

The silent difference between a small downtown shop and a large department store While I am the individual writing this column, my husband Marc is the face of the Frenchman’s Corner and Meg Oremiatzki-Ast I asked him to provide me with a topic for the article.

He pointed out that many of his customers do not always realize the work that goes on behind the scenes.

When you look at the priorities of the chain and large department stores they tend to focus their energies on trends and price structure as they consider their volume and the margins. They take stabs at what people will like and bring it in in large quantities and if it doesn’t sell then they place it on sale and move it through quickly. Their products have a sizeable profit margin which allows them to do this whenever it is necessary.

We, as the Frenchman’s Corner, along with other small retail businesses cannot afford to take this approach. The only commonality with the large department store is that we, too, wish to remain in business, we also watch trends and price structure but to a very different degree.

However, as a small business retailer in a small community, our focus must be our customers desires and wishes within reason.

Once a decision is made to open a shop and the product type has been selected, then the fun begins. As with the Frenchman’s Corner, we brought in one focus item, Neuhaus Belgian chocolates and introduced it into the community.

As it began to become increasingly popular that is when we began to listen to our customers. We opened lines of communication, sampling other potential products, talking with customers, began traveling to trade shows to continue being aware.

After 17 years, we are firmly established in Culpeper and carry a great many more products along with the continuation of Neuhaus Belgian chocolate.

Once in business, how does one remain in business… it isn’t a secret, but it is a lot of

hard work. Large department stores have many employees that handle all aspects of their retail business, in the case of small businesses it is usually one or two people handling all aspects of the business which requires focus and knowledge in many areas, most of it “on the job” training.

The owner(s) handle the scheduling of employees, the ordering of product, the accounting, personnel issues, hiring, firing when the need arises, stocking shelves, arranging product to show it to best advantage, dressing the window, cleaning the store, etc. On top of that, the owner(s) does the selecting and buying of new product, which is a skill unto itself, not everyone has that skill. The most important skill that ALL business owners must have is customer service. I cannot emphasize that enough. One cannot walk into work and close the door because they are in a bad mood, as a retail owner you are always on stage. Imagine attending a humorous play where all the actors are in a foul mood, would you go and see the play again, probably not! Well the same holds true for retail owners.

Marc’s love for food not only comes from the fact that he is French born and knows highquality when he sees it, but he comes from a long line of foodie’s and exceptional cooks. From a grandmother who learned how to cook potatoes in 50 different ways during the war to survive, to a father, who as a Holocaust survivor, swore he would never see potatoes on any plate ever again and developed a very finely-honed knowledge, love, and appreciation of all things food.

Marc brings his knowledge of food from his family experiences into the Frenchman’s Corner through his very high-quality selections of fine chocolates, other gourmet foods and the exceptional customer service that many have come to know and appreciate.

In the end, all the hard work comes together in a pleasant retail experience for our customers with hopes that we will see all of you again.

Marc and Meg Oremiatzki-Ast are the owners of The Frenchman's Corner on Davis Street. You may reach the Frenchman at 540-825-8025.

➤ French, from Page 11 die in Culpeper? Was he on the up and up or an eccentric with a great imagination?

Let’s call the fella, Lewisprobably Louis at birth- Phillipe or L.P., as the full name needs a bit more work and is indeed a mouthful.

L.P. utilizes the first half of the first page declaring his intention to end his miserable life and introducing his true identity to the people of Culpeper.

According to the document, he is the oldest son of a French Nobleman, who he does not mention by name, “whose sacred and glorious name I would not disgrace.”

He was known in Russia as “Ivan Radobart {sic} Winarski and served seven years in the Chasseur, French for cavalry.

He claims he was somewhat innocently drawn into a plot to assassinate the Czar, he avows

Local News

that he had nothing to do with the Czar Alexander’s death in 1881. He escaped to his parents in Scotland, served in the Navy and eventually returned to Great Britain where “soon after my return had the misfortune to become involved with a fellow officer and in a duel wounded him severely but not fatally.”

Following the duel, L.P. escaped to the United States about 1885 and states that he has “been here since… in Virginia most of my time.” To be continued.

Until next week, be well..
