T R AV E L Stunning views define Grelen Nursery

By Rebecca Melson Special to the Culpeper Times Do you ever get a restless feeling like you could be hanging out doing something, well, different? Living in Culpeper we are innately surrounded by the beauty of the Blue Ridge and a rich history of America’s past. But are we taking advantage of all the uniqueness that surrounds us? I often take my family out for various hikes in these mountains. We hang out in our favorite little towns outside of Culpeper, like Luray, and sometimes we hide out in our secret river spot (Nop, I can’t tell you where it’s atthat’s a secret!). With my constant need to explore my surroundings here in this mountain town utopia, I have found lots of little jewels.

Places that are not well known, but possess unique qualities that deserve exploration. Places you could dedicate a whole day to get lost in. And, if you live in and around Culpeper, places you should know about too—like The Grelen Nursery!

Let me just start with this—The Grelen Nursery is no regular plant shop. This place is a breathtaking journey through 600 acres of European-style landscapes—that you can back-pack through after you enjoy a one-of-a-kind lunch paired with local Virginia beverages from The Markey at Grelen! And if you want, you can pick out a tree you like and have it planted in your back yard! Yes, this is a destination that you will want to try out.

Grelen Nursery is located in Somerset, Virginia, bordering the historic Montpelier estate. The owners, Dan Gregg and Zeke Galvin acquired the location originally in 2003 as a 200 acre tree nursery, buy have gradually grown the estate to include a wedding venue, a café that possesses amazing food and local VA brews, ciders and

wines as well as a pick-your-own section for fruits and berries.

Because of the amount of stunning views, Gregg and Zeke found it necessary to create trails where visitors could hike to the overlook and see the fruition of the nursery or be stunned by the hundreds of ravishing trees found within the Bloomfield Loop. The establishment also provides horseback rides through the trails upon reservation.

I decided to start my Grelen journey at the Café. I got my local beverage, ordered a well-crafted lunch and sat on the patio. I wasn’t surprised to find several families in attendance.

However, I was quickly terrified when I realized the table to my left had a set

of 3-year-old triplets. Being a mother of twins myself, I know what this outcome can look like—and sound like.

To a bit of my surprise though, those little ones were as calm and mellow as the gardens that surrounded us.

There is certain Zen that flows through this spot, and even the most potentially rambunctious of guests can align with it. Its enchanting. Being surrounded with such a stunning and diverse selection of nature can allow the minds of any age to become introspective. The generosity of aesthetic- the surrounding fruitfulness of beautiful blooming vines, bushes and trees can silence anxieties and allow the soul to breath. This is a place where one can relax and focus on more

import things—like picking blackberries.

I would encourage local Culpeper residents who have not yet experienced Grelen Nursery to come and explore this place. Spend a late morning into the afternoon walking through endless rows of berries, asparagus and sunflowers. Walk to the peach orchards and take your pick of the produce dripping from the branches in clusters. Get lost amongst the towering Crape Myrtles that flow into regal Italian Cypress’s. And, don’t forget to breath!

COMMUNITY NEWS

Suicide prevention conference slated for Sept. 10 at Germanna Suicide is still a problem in the Culpeper community - and a local group of organizations are working to address it.

A community suicide prevention conference will be held Sept. 10 at Germanna Community College.

Sponsored by Germanna Community College Counseling Services, Healthy Culpeper and Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services, the conference will address the epidemic of suicide in the community.

“It’s still going on in the community and we need to keep talking about it,” RRCS Prevention Specialist Alan Rasmussen said. “Locally we’re working with three coalitions that are survivors and we’ve been doing a lot of work in the community. I’ve been doing stuff since 2004 and the coalitions have been coming along.

It’s an issue that you have to keep addressing. You can’t rest thinking that you’ve done enough, there’s more to do.”

The conference will feature a viewing of the movie “Suicide” The Ripple Effect.”

The film highlights the journey of Kevin Hines, who at age 19, attempted to take his life by jumping from the Golden Gate Bridge. Today Kevin is a world-renowned mental health advocate, motivational speaker and author who travels the globe spreading a message of hope, recovery and wellness.

The film chronicles Kevin’s personal journey and the ripple effect it has on those who have been impacted by his suicide attempt and his life's work since. In addition, the film highlights the stories of individuals and families who are utilizing their personal tragedy to bring hope and healing to others.

Germanna Community College reached out earlier this year to RRCS about showing the film and Rasmussen encouraged them to partner with other entities to help spread awareness.

“We encouraged them with the showing of the film to tie in a community suicide prevention conference,” Rasmussen said.

The conference will feature treatment programs and resource tables for those looking for help.

There will also be a panel discussion and community interaction featuring members of Team Jordan, The Rusty Bowers Suicide Prevention Coaltion,

CULPEPER YOUTH SPOTLIGHT

Jamie Clancey (Editor's note: This is weekly series highlighting members of Culpeper's Youth Council. To join Culpeper Youth, go to www.culpeperyouth.org to apply.)

Last Monday, not only did students and staff return to school, members of our Culpeper Youth leadership, the Youth Advisory Council, shared the accomplishments of Culpeper Youth over the last two years with the community during a presentation at Culpeper Baptist Church. The last two years have been an amazing journey for the members of Culpeper Youth under the leadership of our inaugural president, Riley Reynolds. Riley graduated from CCHS in May and is moving on to college. I would like to take this opportunity to say THANK YOU to Riley who is an amazing, motivated, smart, thoughtful, and courageous young woman who will absolutely leave an impression wherever she goes. Riley, we will miss you as Culpeper Youth President and I am utterly proud of the young woman you have become and will continue to grow into!

Josh Houston, our president elect, who is now a senior at EVHS, is an incredible young man who I’m sure will continue to move Culpeper Youth forward. Josh is one of the most regulated, professional, driven, and intelligent people I have met. I cannot be more proud of the students who have become leaders through this program, that is open to all upcoming 7th to 12th graders. Any public, private, or homeschooled student who is interested in joining Culpeper Youth, our meetings are on the second Wednesday of the month at Culpeper Baptist Church from 630-8pm, you can just show up or apply at www.culpeperyouth.org. This is a no cost organization. My name is Jamie Clancey and I am the Culpeper Youth Coordinator.

Thank you to all in the community who have supported Culpeper Youth!

Living the Dream Foundation and Culpeper County Public Schools.

“The goal of the panel is to identify what needs to be done in a community to address suicide, there’s some key components to the system, those components are represented on this panel,” Rasmussen said. “To do this work you need to do Gatekeeper training to get community members trained to see the warning signs. You need coalitions that bring partners and you need to have survivors involved. When someone takes their life, a significant number of people are affected but they can be a powerful source of energy in addressing this issue.”

Rasmussen has been working since 2004 to train community members in “Gatekeeper” training - which helps identify warning signs of suicide and the proper channels to address them and find help.

“We need to have prevention programs in the community,” Rasmussen said. “We need to train the community partners as Gatekeepers and get them involved in addressing risk factors. Another step that is very different here and that I’m not sure is available in other areas, these coalitions raise funds and strategically give that money to community partners that enhance protective factors.”

In 2017, in the United States, 47,143 people committed suicide that equals to 129 people per day.

Suicide is the 10th leading cause of death in the United States, and the second leading cause among middle, high school and college youth, as well as young adults to age 34. From 1999 to 2016, the overall suicide rate in the United States increased 25.4% and in Virginia increased 17.4%.

“This is a public health issue and we need to do something about it,” Rasmussen said. “We need to energize the community so we can address this issue.”

The conference begins at 10 a.m. and continues until 2 p.m. at Germanna Community College’s Daniel Technology Center.

Registration begins at 9:45 and the movie will be shown from 10:30 a.m. until noon. Lunch will follow and then they will host the panel discussion.

To register, contact Kaitlyn Nickson at KNickson@rrcsb.org or (540) 3218795.

This conference is free and open to community members.

“There’s no doubt, there’s more that needs to be done,” Rasmussen said. “We want people to know there’s help, there’s hope and we want to save lives.”

Camp Fantastic lifts patients spirits ➤ 38th annual farm day in Culpeper shows dedication of the community to helping kids feel like kids for a week

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Camp Fantastic saved Abby Snider’s life.

The now 20-year-old counselor at Camp Fantastic credits her trip to Front Royal and Culpeper for the annual farm day, as the turning point in her battle against High Risk T-Cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia.

“When I came in 2014 I was in a really dark spot in my life because I was dealing with cancer and I had no fight left,” Snider said. “When I came to Camp Fantastic, it helped me define my fight and gave me hope that I could get through cancer. When I came back from that week of camp I was a completely different person. I had my fight back. I gave cancer everything I had and I survived it. This camp gave me everything and I just wanted to give back. Honestly, it’s like a family to me.”

She has been cancer free for three years now and has returned to Camp Fantastic as a counselor in the past two years to help young patients relax and have the time of their lives for a week.

Dave Smith, Special Love Senior Director, Outreach and Programs, said a third of the counselors at the camp have actually been through Camp Fantastic as patients.

During Farm Day, held South Wind farm - owned by Marshall and Kacey Jenkins - the entire staff of Special Love gets an opportunity to unwind.

“It’s wonderful,” Smith said. “It’s a midweek break. It gives our staff a chance to catch a breath. I think it’s equally inspiring for the staff to see how many people come out to do this. I think it gives the kids a new variety of things to do.”

➤ Fantastic, from Page 4 Club for the past 38 years, Farm Day allows the kids to be kids - and not cancer patients.

“Today alone, these kids are going to be smiling non stop,” Smith said. “For the kids, they haven’t felt normal in a long time, so this gives them a chance to do normal things.”

It’s a great opportunity for volunteers and civic organizations. At the entrance to the farm, Culpeper Town Police officers Jason Smith and Brittany Jenkins helped campers put on helmets and go for a ride in the town’s ATV. “I get chills just talking about it,” Smith said. “This is a heartwarming event. To see these kids having fun is special.”

“I have three kids myself and you forget how blessed you really are,” Jenkins said. “These kids help you realize how lucky you are. For us to be able to help them, it’s just an incredible experience.”

Fletch Karr, 10, smiled broadly as he got off the ride.

“Camp Fantastic is just wonderful experience,” he said. “I’ve never heard of any kid that wouldn’t want to come to this camp.”

Diagnosed with stage 3 Leukemia when he was 5, Karr has been in remission for two years.

“It was rough, you just have to go through it,” Karr said.

'We love everybody' ➤ Charlie and Litsa's South Main Cafe is all about homemade food, love, and friends

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer It feels like home.

That’s the only way to describe Charlie & Litsa’s South Main Cafe in Culpeper.

Walking into the quaint dining room one Friday morning, I was greeted by Charlie Kambanellos with a hearty “sit down, eat.”

While it’s the food that brings the customers in originally, it’s the camaraderie that keeps them coming back.

It’s a small, intimate space at 900 S Main St. in Culpeper,. Approximately 26 chairs fit in the diner - a few tables lining the back wall and a bar with nine seats - situated right behind Charlie and the grill.

It never feels cramped - mostly because Charlie introduces everyone.

It feels like family.

Charlie and LItsa’s has been a Culpeper institution for 22 years. He smiles proudly when he says that April 7, 2020 will be 23 years in town. Now 80, Charlie hasn’t slowed a step.

He’ll proudly tell you that he’s been in the restaurant business for 50 years - in Fairfax, Orange and now in Culpeper. His eyes sparkle as he says the oldest diner in

Culpeper besides Baby Jim’s - a fact he’s quite proud of.

He doesn’t advertise - he doesn’t need to. He points to the stars on his door and mentions how people find him online.

Once they come in - they’re family.

“I have new customers every day from Chicago, New York, Boston - I try my best,” Charlie says in his trademark Greek accent. “I make homemade food, I talk to the customers, be happy.”

The restaurant is the couple’s happy place.

Litsa beams with pride when she’s told that it’s the best breakfast in town.

“I open my heart and my door to everybody,” she said. “We’re for everybody rich or poor. I love people - it’s my family.

There’s no customers, it’s family.

“This is my happy place,” Litsa said.

Now 72, she has the same daily routine. She wakes at 4:30 a.m. and works until they go to bed. They stay busy all day at the diner - staying open till 1 p.m. and then preparing for the next day.

Potatoes need peeled, sausage needs ground, onions need chopped.

Then, she goes home to tend to her garden and clean her house. She doesn’t like to sit - she likes staying busy.

It’s a work ethic that shines through in their food - and their customer service.

“If you don’t love people they don’t come in,” Litsa said. “I love everybody.”

And everybody loves Charlie and Litsa.

➤ Charlie and Litsa, from Page 6 Effie is.

Effie Foster is there almost every day.

Known as the “pie lady” of Culpeper, she holds court nearly every morning at the diner. This morning, she’s missing. She’s in Charlottesville celebrating the birth of her great grandson. It’s one of the few days she misses. Now 86, she still helps herself to coffee and makes her rounds talking to other customers.

Her stepson Don Foster said it’s just like sitting down at home for breakfast.

“I like these little hole in the wall places,” Don Foster said. “I used to like Gayhearts. I like to see the person handling the food.”

Charlie never writes down an order. A mind like a steel trap, he remembers every order and immediately heads to the grill - often singing to himself.

That’s the other part his customers love - when you come to Charlie and Litsa’s it’s not just breakfast - it’s a show.

Sometimes it’s Diana. Other times it’s Country Road Take Me Home. Other times its classics like ‘Solo Mio.’ No matter the song, it’s always sung with love.

“My favorite thing is probably his omelete, I get one with everything in it,” Mira Sudderth said.

“I’m a bacon and egg person,” Don Foster said. “I’ve never had anything bad here.”

Born and raised in Remington, Don Foster said Charlie and Litsa’s is a “throwback.” The diner harkens back to a simpler time - when Culpeper had a slower pace and you sat down for breakfast instead of stopping at a fast food joint.

“You don’t get that in places, the personality they’ve got,” Don Foster said.

A regular named James sits at the end of stools, working on his breakfast. He’s been coming for more than 20 years. He first showed up with his children and now they’re grown - but he keeps returning three days a week for breakfast.

“I just like vintage diners like this,” he said. “The service is always the same - good.”

Sometimes, James will join in with Charlie in song. It’s just like family.

“I come for advice,” James said.

I asked James if Charlie has become like a father figure to him, “like a grandfather figure,” James answers as the restaurant bursts out in laughter.

Charlie grins and breaks into song.

His favorite? “I like Lay Your Head on My Pillow by Ray Price,” he says.

Everett Corbin has been coming every other day for 22 years - Charlie warns him he’s going to be gone for a couple of days visiting his granddaughter in Tennessee.

“I saw this little restaurant years and years ago and I said ‘I’m going to try this place out,’ I’ve been coming here ever since,” Corbin said.

“I’ve tried everything and it’s all fantastic. He knows what you want before you even say anything. I come up here from Warrenton to eat. There’s a lot of restaurants up in Warrenton, but I want to come to Charlie’s.”

Charlie Kambanellos stops for a prayer with a group of regulars on a recent Friday. Songs, prayers, laughter - it's all served up with love at Charlie and Litsa's South Main Street Cafe.

Charlie points at another customer “he wants a sausage,” he says as the man sits down.

Corbin waves and laughs.

“That man can cook,” Corbin said.

He’s also generous.

“Charlie’s a good guy, if you have no money in your pocket he’ll fix your food and you can pay him later,” Corbin said.

Charlie smiles, he gets a lot of lawyers and judges during the week he said.

“Judge Summerville comes by, he says I’m a good man, do a good job,” Charlie said. “Everybody knows me.”

Charlie calls everyone friend. He also rarely forgets an order.

“18 orders,” he says with pride. “One day it was full, I know everyone’s order.”

Married 46 years, Charlie and Litsa work smoothly as a team. He whips up the food, she delivers it - it’s a quiet connection they have.

“We do things together, we know how to talk,” Charlie said.

Chastity Woodward has been bringing her daughter Gianna in for years. What attracted them originally was the food but once they met the delightful Greek couple that motive changed.

“It’s them 100 percent,” Chastity said.

“The food is amazing but they are so welcoming and they know us when we come in the door.”

Gianna loves that Charlie used to give her Blow Pops - but only if she would finish her breakfast.

“You come in here and it’s family,” Chastity said. “We circled town a few times today for a spot to open up because it was so full. This is where we wanted to be.”

Culpeper County West Fairfax Supervisor Gary Deal is a regular - he calls Charlie and Litsa’s one of his favorite places to go in Culpeper.

“It’s motivating for me to see the pride that Charlie and Litsa take to make sure their customers are happy,” Deal said.

Robert Hawkins remembers the diner from when he was younger. He used to come in when he was 16 and 17 late at night. He moved away from Culpeper in 1966 and returned in the last few years.

“It’s really changed,” he said of the town.

What hasn’t changed in 22 years - is Charlie and Litsa’s.

Is Virtual Reality ready to 'roar' for the mainstream?

Virtual reality (VR) is one of those technologies that keeps popping up every few years, doesn’t grab hold, disappears, and then pops up again. I see VR divided into two different areas, how much you can view the environment with your eyes and how you interact with the environment.

Some technology attempts to Flooring Specialists tackle just one of theseand areasMore at a

time.

Growing up things like Nintendo’s virtual boy and power glove attempted to show the promise of VR interactive environments and were poor attempts.

The main premise for most VR devices is similar.

You wear a screen on your head that turns and looks around in 360 degrees and you have a different type of controllers to interact in the environment.

Other VR type technology focused on new ways to interact ➤ See Virtual Reality Page 9

➤ Virtual Reality, from Page 8 with 2D content with motion controllers or no controllers at all.

Over the years there have been other attempts, PlayStation had motion wands, Nintendo Wii had motion controllers, Xbox Kinect was controllerless.

The current version of wearable VR tech is Oculus and PlayStation VR which seem to be better and there are wide variety of head set add-ons for cell phones to give a VR type of experience.

Some of the technology was gimmicky in my opinion. The Nintendo Wii’s motion controllers come to mind.

It didn’t long to find out that with certain flicks of the wrist I could make my characters move the way I wanted them to, instead of the full motion you were instructed to do.

The Kinect for Xbox seemed to do a better job without a controller, but there would be lag in the response time or wouldn’t read your movement correctly if you were too far away, too close, or the lighting wasn’t right in the room for the motion camera.

I’ve used some of the cardboard add-ons for cell phones and many of the apps are fun for a short time period, such as riding a

rollercoaster.

But it isn’t anything I would spend a lot of time using.

While the renaissance of VR may not be in gaming quite yet, it could be for the movie industry.

The Lion King “live” action remake is the first movie to be created totally in VR. CGI/Animators and the director Jon Favreau wore VR headsets and constructed the entire movie in virtual reality.

There were no actors on a sound stage wearing ping pong motion tracking suits. Nothing on the animals either.

The entire environment, except for one shot, was totally created in virtual reality. The production crew would 3D print various camera equipment and track the cameras movement to get all the bounces and jiggles of the photography going across the landscape as if it was being shot with real cameras in the wild.

Every tool used to film a movie in the real world was digitally recreated to allow the filmmakers to create the sense of filming real actors on a stage.

That was the message the Culpeper County Club was teaching county youth during its inaugural Jr. Open Golf Tournament July 29.

The tournament featured 29 golfers, ranging in age from 9 to 18 years old. It was open to youth from surrounding areas, schools and clubs and was organized to help promote the sport of golf.

“We are very pleased with the turnout this first year and we look forward to expanding the program in the following years,” said Kris Johnson, General Manager of the Club.

Golf, 15 years ago was so booming that young kids couldn’t get on a course.”

Now, the country club is utilizing programs like the youth tournament to attract younger players.

“The USGA, the PGA identified quickly there were barriers to play,” McGrath said. “The soccer leagues and baseball were far more efficient to set up leagues. Now you’re seeing PGA junior league and First Tee. We’re looking for First Tee here in Culpeper.”

Another appealing aspect for young players is that it gives them experience if they choose to play high school golf.

Both Culpeper County High School and Eastern View High School play their home matches at the Country Club of Culpeper.

“It takes an understanding membership,” McGrath said of allowing two high schools to play at the club. “The membership has done it from day one and they know it’s a community thing.”

McGrath touted the junior memberships, which cost $225 per year, as another way they are trying to attract youth.

“That’s a bargain for a Monday through Friday membership,” McGrath said.

The Greatest Season

Reflections on Culpeper's 1999 state football champions

By Marshall Conner

T

wo decades ago, Culpeper County High School’s varsity football team captured the hearts of a county and the attention of sports fans across the state of Virginia by winning the Group AAA Division 5 State Championship. The 1999 Blue Devils lived and played in a much different world then— fewer people were staring at smartphones, bonds of friendship were built on little league fields and sports writers still filed stories by fax.

Culpeper County had one high school, more farmland, and the place to be on any given Friday night was Broman Field—there were tailgates, packed stands and cowbells so loud you could hear them in downtown streets.

The Blue Devils exceeded all expectations of fans and sports writers with a remarkable 14-0 season. It toppled a seemingly invincible Hampton team, that had earned four-straight state titles. To top it off the Devils soundly defeated a talented Henrico team in the state championship game. The season was not without its tests of focus, heart and grit—Woodbridge and Albemarle nearly disrupted Culpeper’s road to the title—yet those tests created a strong bond and greater resolve.

Any story of the 1999 Blue Devils starts much earlier—the character and toughness of this team was constructed in the junior varsity ranks and tutored by upperclassmen that had gone far in the state playoffs.

The Blue Devils fostered a tradition of excellence in the late 1990s.

Other factors were a team that had played and driven each other to excel since childhood—in youth football games and in backyards.

This team had talent, depth, focus and the magical knack for having the right players in key positions at exactly the right time. It was a season that remains in the memories of all who played, coached, cheered and covered it.

Today, the champions of 99’ are building families and careers.

“I remember sitting down with Coach Lou Sorrentino and top receiver Terence Dinkins before the season started and discussing our goals.

He said he knew we wanted to throw the ball and break records—but he asked us to focus on a more balanced approach using all our team’s offensive weapons and one heck of a defense. We had great running backs in Brandon Jones and Jermaine Cropp. He wanted balance and Terence and I told him our goals were to win a championship,” reflected Mike Jenkins, former quarterback of the state champion Blue Devils.

“We had a team that believed in each other from the bench players, to starters, to coaches, to the fans in the stands.”

A cross section of former team stars, coaches and media took time to reflect on a season that concluded with traffic jams and parades down main street.

Recently, Jenkins met up with two of his former offensive linemen Brian Duncan and Kevin Mays at Pig-n-Steak, in nearby Madison County.

“I just had lunch with Mike Jenkins to finally cash in on a 20-yearold bet. Mike had a bet with Kevin Mays and I that for every game he

and the EV team. Which was better? Who would win in a match up?

I finally went to my first game at EV and it happened to be the last game for the seniors on their home field,” said Duncan. “After the game some of the seniors went back on to the field to lay in the end zone, take pictures, and just take in the fact that they wouldn’t be playing there again. As I watched this all I could say to myself was soak it in boys.

It’s been 20 years since it all happened. Life has basically taken over now. Recently, I’ve had several people bring it up and some of us have started the wheels in motion for a reunion.”

Most of the former stars count the victory over Hampton as the greatest game of the season. Dinkins showed incredible toughness in the game catching everything Jenkins threw his way.

“We were down 14-17 to Hampton and it was 4th and 6 with 4:40 left in the 4th quarter. Mike rifles a pass over two and between another three Crabbers and I snatched it out of the air to keep the drive alive for a 20-yard gain. This led to Mike Greenaway’s tying field goal in regulation,” recalled Dinkins.

For Duncan, the Hampton game was also quite memorable.

“Everyone remembers when we played Hampton. I can say that the week leading to that game was the most serious and business like that I can remember. I don’t think the state championship practice was even as tough. What I remember the most from that game was it was the first time in my football career that you could literally feel the atmosphere change in a stadium. We were the consummate underdogs from ‘country Culpeper’ walking into a respected and storied football program that literally couldn’t have any more accolades bestowed upon them,” said Duncan. “The offensive line had the mentality that we weren’t going to take anything off anybody and that if they smashed us in the mouth, we were going to give it back two-fold and I can say the WHOLE team felt that way. That speaks worlds to the discipline that our coaches hammered into us. As the game went on you could feel the atmosphere change and when we managed to get ahead of Hampton it seemed like even their fans didn’t know what to do. I still can’t really describe the feeling of beating them.”

In football, a tenacious and intelligent defense wins championships Culpeper had a great one in 1999 led by senior safety Steven Barber.

Linebackers Daniel Winning and Jeremy Bailey were also two standouts on that championship team. Many names come to mind on this

Culpeper County High School's 1999 state championship trophy now proudly resides at the high school. New athletic director Danny Nobbs says plans are in the works to honor the state championship team during a game this season.

“Walking on the field for pregame and being in awe at playing in a college stadium. Kneeling as a team, holding hands with Kevin Mays and Kyle Kennedy, and saying The Lord’s Prayer in the locker room.

Coming on to the field and seeing our town/county’s fans there to support us,” said Duncan. “I looked around the locker room at halftime while coach Sorrentino talked and realized that this would be the last half of high school football. The look on everyone’s face, in the huddle right before Mike took the final knee to end the game. Lastly, hugging my best friend Kevin Mays and both of us crying.”

Dave Richardson, now the voice of the Eastern View Cyclones, was a Culpeper line coach in 1999.

He remembers building the offensive line with Duncan and Mays at the junior varsity level.

“Our coaching staff saw key players very early on and allowed them to grow into their roles—that made a huge difference,” said Richardson.

“We were a balanced team with the right players in the right positions to succeed. So many of our players contributed to earn that championship.”

“The ride back and celebration at Broman Field were a blur after the state championship. I remember driving home that night and shedding a tear or two. Why? It was over,” said Duncan. “To this day even after having played football at Fork Union and VMI I still cherish my high school football experience because of my teammates, they are the ones that make you miss it.”

Jenkins is optimistic about the future of Culpeper football. He feels the newly hired athletic director Daniel Nobbs and first-year head football coach James Ford will help bring back the pride and traditions he so fondly remembers.

“If I had a message for the community it would be to show the young men playing at Broman Field this fall the same love you once showed us—good things will happen,” said Jenkins. “In the roller coaster that is my life that year was so special.”

all-region. The game that stood out for me was Hampton. That was the biggest game I can think of that any team in Culpeper has ever been in (in any sport). “ “Our fans were amazing! A big factor in our success was our fan base.

It was a special time with a special group of guys that refused to lose,” added Bailey. “We had an excellent coaching staff that knew the game and kept their poise. We welcomed the big stage and no opponent was too great. We won with talent, we won with grit, and we won with class.”

Winning, now a father and professional firefighter in Colorado was a senior linebacker, fullback and wide receiver in 1999.

“There isn't one game that stands out for me that season. I think it’s a culmination of how we built off each game. We built our identity each play, and our confidence grew each game. The North Stafford and Brooke Point games were great tests for our team those were big wins.

I always had the confidence we were good but after beating North Stafford so easily it made me even more confident in what we could do,” remembers Winning. “A big moment that really stands out to me is the Hampton game. Traveling all that way and to go to a ‘neutral’ stadium only to realize it was in their backyard. The atmosphere there was something out of a movie. It was intimidating at first. Our fans made us feel like we could beat anybody. Our support grew each week and I recall all the car horns and cow bells. I have been reminiscing and it honestly still gives me goosebumps.”

“We had some incredible coaches. I don't know if they get enough credit for what they did. They took a bunch of kids from a lot of different walks of life and made us into something bigger than any of us could have imagined,” added Winning.

The mental toughness and focus of this team were notable. The team refocused after each victory and never allowed teenage egos to disrupt the drive to win.

Duncan has six memories of the state championship game.

1-2-3, look at our team. 3-4-5, greatest team alive!”

That was the song that opposing teams would hear as the George Washington Carver High School Hawks football team would roll up in the bus during the 1963 season - it was a song that signalled the other team was going to get beat.

The Hawks went undefeated that season, going 8-0, to win the Virginia Interscholastic Association state championship - the only state championship Carver would boast in its 20-year existence.

Standing now in the George Washington Carver School Museum, located on the school grounds more than 55 years later - members of that team recall what it was like.

“We’d start singing that, people would look at us and players from other teams were already scared,” Lawrence “Boom Boom” Hutcherson said. “We were some bad boys.”

James Bannister recalls that the players would be stomping their feet, singing at the top of their lungs, shaking the bus so much that it looked like it was going to turn over.

“We’d intimidate them,” Bannister said.

That state championship team was a force to be reckoned with.

Coached by Simon Poole, the Hawks outscored their opponents 306-26 that season. They had five shutouts, including three in a row. Almost every school was from a bigger city - but Carver had country boys from Culpeper, Rapphannock, Madison and Orange counties - and they had a coach who made the team feel special.

“Coach Poole said when we played Douglas, of Winchester, he knew we had a championship team,” Hutcherson said.

They played Douglas in the third game of the season, winning 88-13.

It was the largest margin of victory they had all year and their closest game came against their most heated rival - the Burley Bears. They won that game 19-7 in the second to last game of the year.

Recently, Hutcherson and Bannister gathered at the museum to look at artifacts of that season and along with classmate Charles Jameson, recalled what made that 1963 championship team so special.

‘An eye for talent’ Simon Poole was hired as head coach in 1961. Prior to that, he was assistant coach starting in 1957. According to research conducted by Terry Miller, museum curator at the George Washington Carver School Museum, Poole had no previous coaching experience.

It’s remarkable, then, that in the span of two years he turned a program that was struggling into a state title team.

The first year under Poole, the team was 4-4. In 1962, the Hawks finished 6-2 and were tri-champions of their conference. That set up the ‘63 season.

“At Carver we never had an outstanding football team,” Bannister said. “We were always being beat up on. When Mr. Poole came in we set another standard. The coaching was little different. We believed in him and he believed in us. He treated us like his sons.”

Poole had an eye for talent.

He would stand in the window at Carver and watch coaches practice with teams from other sports - then he’d go recruit the athletes to play football.

“He would walk around the school, if you had any size on you - if you looked like a football player - he’s say ‘boy, let me see you down on that football field,’” Bannister said.

‘That’ football field behind the school - where New Pathways Inc. now sits - is where Poole took a bunch of boys and turned them into football players.

Practices were hard. Players quit. The ones that stayed learned to love their coach and would do anything for him.

“His main thing was crabbin’,” Hutcherson said. “You’d have two offensive players and one defensive player and you’d have to beat the

offensive player.”

He’d put the players through a drill called “bull in the ring” where two players would fight for a ball - with the exercise not ending until the defensive player tackled the ball carrier before he left the ring.

“He was a coach that wanted to get the max out of you,” Hutcherson said. “Coach Poole wanted to know what he had. He wanted you to be tested. He wanted to be able to put you out on that field and have confidence in you. He found out right here - right at the practice field.”

Poole, 88, retired after teaching 35 years in the Culpeper County education system and now resides in Raleigh, N.C. He’s outlived several players on the squad. Hutcherson and Bannister looked at a team photo, ticking off the names of deceased players: Woodrow Scott, Angus Arrington, George Dade Clarence Humes, Peyton Barber, Robert Terrell, Albert Lacy, Charles Johnson, McPherson Frye. All gone, but their memory remains alive with that ‘63 team.

Stories to tell Hutcherson, then 16, played center and defensive end. He started all four years at Carver and recalls with immense joy the time he spent on that football field.

Running the Notre Dame single wing offense, the Hawks dominated teams.

“James (Bannister) would play on the line sometimes, then he would drop back into the single wing - when he dropped back there it was a pass,” Jameson said. “I remember the first time over at Porterfield Park when they gave Doug Williams the ball - he was a big guy.”

“Mr. Poole wasn’t an offensive coach,” Bannister said. “He specialized in defense. He knew we had a good offense but most practices he worked with that defense. He had guys pulling from one slot to another.”

Bannister said teams would see him come into the game and think they would pass. Instead, they’d direct snap the ball to the halfback or fullback and Williams would get a step on them.

That’s all they would need, as speed was one of their assets.

“I was probably the slowest one on there,” Bannister said with a laugh.

Bannister said that at the end of the season, Marcellus Bumbrey told him that he caught 26 touchdowns from Bannister that year. That was mostly because Bumbrey had a secret - he didn’t want to get hit.

“When he would catch one, he was gone because he was scared,” Bannister said laughing.

Williams was tough, Hutcherson said. He played an entire second half on a broken leg.

Hutcherson, who went on to play two seasons for the Washington Redskins practice squad and professional softball, is full of stories.

He jumps back and forth from his high school career to his professional escapades, laughing all the way.

One of his favorite stories is the first game of the 1963 season against Luther Jackson in Winchester.

“The first year I played, coach didn’t have enough uniforms to go around,” Hutcherson said, a smile across his face. “So we played Luther Jackson, he gave me one of the old orange and black uniforms. Everyone up in Luther Jackson go ‘you all must have stopped by the prison and got them guys.’”

Hutcherson pauses, his gaze distracted by an ad for 10Pro Corporations “Boombat.” There’s Hutcherson, then in his 30s, holding the bat named for him.

“They made an offer to me to put my name on that bat,” Hutcherson said. “They called it the bombat. I was the first man to put his name on a bat - that’s fact, brother.”

His story is fascinating. He earned a scholarship to play at Savannah State in Georgia, but didn’t stay but a few months. He returned home and went into the service in 1967. He served four years and returned to play on the Redskins practice squad in ‘72 as a 27-year-old.

He then signed with the Baltimore Monuments of the professional softball league in 1978, and then moved on to play for Philadelphia until the 1982 season before going back into amateur softball. An imposing figure at more than 6-foot-3-inches, he still plays softball - holding up a ring he won just two years prior.

But to really make his eyes light up, mention that ‘63 championship team and its rivalry with the Burley Bears.

“That was always the big matchup,” Hutcherson said.

Jameson yells across the table - “we believed in them having older players and they believed we had older players.”

“I got involved with the VIA and the first thing they asked me about was Red Terrell,” he said with a laugh. “They asked if he was too old, I said ‘that was like the story we would hear about you all, that the coach would go down to a pool room and ask who would want to play ball today?’

Hutcherson grimaced. ‘I’m going to straighten that out right now.

“In conference, you could play up to 18,” he explained. “If you were 19, you could play non-conference games. Burley was non-conference.

That’s why they were saying players were too old, but they weren’t they just turned 19 that year.”

Luther Jackson, Parker - Gray, Hoffman - Boston, W.C. Taylor and Douglas and Walker - Grant were all conference games. The only two non-conference games were against Burley and Jennie Dean - the final two games of the season.

Famously, they defeated Burley 19-7 and then shut out Jennie Dean 44-0.

Exhibit features Carver sports In 1963, schools in Virginia were still segregated - hence George Washington Carver’s need for existence. Despite going undefeated and only allowing 26 points, it wasn’t a well-known fact in the local communities that the team was so dominant.

“The team still didn’t get the exposure,” Hutcherson said. “A lot of these guys could have gone on to these historical black colleges. A lot of these players could have got scholarships, the team was that good.”

“We didn’t get enough backing, if we would have had support system out here...” Bannister said, trailing off - thinking of what could have been.

The team played its day games at Carver, but the night games were held at Porterfield Park in Orange. They got some coverage in the Orange paper, as a high school writer by the name of Tommie Bowles would cover them - but for the players it wasn’t as much as they would have liked.

“To get out to see these guys get out there and perform the way they did, it was magnificent,” Jameson said.

Hutcherson and Bannister stand side-by-side, looking down at the exhibit that Miller has put together for the fall at the Carver Museum.

The exhibit will open to the public Sept. 28, with a special opening on Sept. 27. It will feature the football team and all the other athletic programs at Carver.

It’s an exhibit the players are excited to see. To them, it wasn’t just a team - it was family.

“We all got along well together, we supported each other,” Hutcherson said. “You find out you didn’t appreciate then as much as you do now, we didn’t realize history was taking place.”

That team, that championship is something they’ll never forget.

“I think about it at least every day,” Bannister said. “There was a lot of guys on there, and I think about some of them that’s gone.

“Mr. Poole took a bunch of kids and made football players out of them.”

Living the hoop dream Five Culpeper County High School graduates will face off on the Division III basketball court this winter

By Jeff Say

L

ooking across the court this season, five college basketball players from Culpeper County HIgh School will see some familiar faces their former teammates.

Five CCHS graduates will play Division III basketball this season - marking nine collegiate players in the past 12 years coming from the Blue Devils program.

On a recent summer day, CCHS head coach James “JT” Thompson worked out with the Division III five at the Culpeper Sport and Racquet Club - attesting to their bond and their work ethic.

“We’re very proud,” Thompson said, glancing over his shoulder as his five former pupils joked around with each other.

Luther Gibbs (Christopher Newport University), Daijordan Brown (Lynchburg University), Chris Simmons (Eastern Mennonite University), Will Jameson (Randolph College) and Devin Mosley (Eastern Mennonite University) will all face off this fall - a unique experience for a school of Culpeper’s size.

It’s a testament to Culpeper’s basketball program and how they churn out high-quality players. Gibbs, Brown and Mosely were all Player of the Year for the Blue Devils.

“I’ve seen them since they were eighth and ninth graders, to see them improve year to year, is fun,” Thompson said. “It’s a testament to their hard work.

“It’s not about maintaining, it’s harder to stay there (in college),” the CCHS head coach said. “They have recruits that are trying to come take their spot. I think it’s different now, that they’re out of school, and I’m not treating them like a high school athlete. They’re seeing a different side of what it actually takes.”

It’s not just work on the basketball court - but work in bettering themselves overall. Thompson works with them on their nutrition Jameson and Mosely are down to 3 percent body fat. But it’s Will is down to three percent body fat.

It’s also not just about the basketball court - but the classroom.

Thompson noted all five graduated high school with grade point averages over 3.0.

“It’s a celebration for the school that we’re producing a student athlete that’s ready to go to school,” Thompson said. “There’s no waiting on SAT scores. When coaches come to recruit these guys, they’re ready.”

Thompson cringes when he hears people question why the players are “only” playing at the Division III level. He said it doesn’t matter what level they play at, but the fact they are continuing their careers and using their success on the basketball court to fuel their success in the classroom.

“The hardest scholarship to get in college basketball is the guard position,” Thompson said. “The guard position is full. You really have to separate yourself to get a guard scholarship. Their parents brought them up, they listen. They listened to what the projections said.”

Luther Gibbs - Christopher Newport University, senior Luther Gibbs is the eldest of the group - entering his senior year at Christopher Newport. Last year, the team went to the Division II Final Four, and Gibbs was a big part of that - playing guard.

Looking around at the four other younger players from Culpeper, Gibbs said he serves as an elder statesman - giving them sound advice and helping them enjoy the moment.

“It’s pretty cool to see, especially thinking back to my junior and senior year of high school because those guys were just coming up from middle school,” Gibbs said. “It’s a testament to all our hard work paying off.”

He preaches a team first mentality, and to be ready to play at a different level. He laughs thinking back to his first season - coming in thinking he was going to start and he got his “butt kicked.” “(I tell them) It’s a long year, you’re playing from September to March, just listen to your coach and your seniors because before you know it, you’re the senior,” Gibbs said.

The political science major beams with pride when he talks about the bond the five have - having made it to the collegiate level from CCHS. “I think it’s really just a testament to the culture of basketball that not only that JT has tried to instill in Culpeper but just Culpeper as a whole,” Gibbs said. “When I come home, I see a lot of younger kids getting exposure for basketball and school. I think it’s a really good thing for the community because what’s most important overall is that we’re getting into school first.”

He acknowledged the importance of five young African-American men going to college, of being successful and of being positive role models for young men in Culpeper.

“I think especially growing up for me, a lot of older folks I had to look up to were different you and (you) kind of had to find your own route,” Gibbs said. “I think now with all the examples we’ve been able to set, I think for the community it’s a wonderful thing. How can you not succeed when everyone you look up to is going to school, even just having a consistent job.”

This year’s CNU team is as good as last years, Gibbs said, maybe better. Yet, he’s apprehensive about going back to college.

“This is the first time I’m not ready to go back to school because it’s bittersweet,” Gibb said. ‘I just want to explore everything my school has to offer and expose the genuine relationships I have with everybody.”

Chris Simmons - Eastern Mennonite University, sophomore Simmons said one of those “genuine” relationships he has is with Thompson.

“He’s helped me tremendously, he’s helped me become the player I am today,” Simmons said. “I don’t think without JT I’d be anywhere close to the player I am now. When I joined him sophomore year, he just totally flipped a switch in me.”

The son of Aaron Simmons and Taiya Hondras, the EMU

sophomore said that he had the skills coming into high school - but not the confidence. That’s where Thompson came in, giving him that boost that he needed.

He also helped shape him into the team player he is now.

“When I was playing, I knew I wasn’t going to be the star, but my mentality was what can I do to help the team win,” Simmons said. “It’s just knowing your role and embracing it.”

Devin Mosely - Eastern Mennonite University, freshman It’s fitting Mosely will be joining Simmons at EMU, as he too needed a confidence boost coming into CCHS. “The thing it (high school basketball) taught me the most was confidence,” Mosely said. “JT taught me to believe in myself.”

Mosely turned the confidence into becoming a Player of the Year as a guard and then into a college scholarship at EMU. “It was a great fit for me, I walked on campus and just felt like this was home,” Mosely said.

He said he’s been dreaming of playing college ball since he was 7, and it didn’t matter at what level - he just wanted the opportunity to prove himself.

Now he has it, all the while going to school for elementary education.

“There’s not a lot of male teachers, and a lot of kids today are growing up without fathers,” Mosely said. “I feel like if I get them early, I’ll always be that person for them.”

The son of Deena Hitt and Devin Mosely said it’s special to be playing college ball in close proximity to four former teammates.

“We always talk trash to each other in practice, so now we get to do it for real,” Mosely said.

Daijordan Brown - Lynchburg University, sophomore One thing Brown didn’t need was confidence.

He always felt he was the most talented player on the court - he learned how to control that at CCHS. “I learned a lot at (CCHS),” Brown said. “Coming in, I was a lot better than kids my age but he (Thompson) really humbled me and taught me that if you don’t work hard your talent doesn’t matter at all.”

Brown smiles when he thinks of his old coach.

“He’s taught me so much off the court about being a man,” Brown said. “I needed discipline. He supported my belief that I was the best player on the court. He always said, ``You're the best player on the court, act like it.’ Without him I might not be where I am today.”

The son of Irene and Paul Brown, he said going to college basketball was an eye-opener. Seventy-five percent of his day is basketball and he says you have to be “dedicated to the grind.”

“Everybody is good in college,” Brown said. “It’s everybody’s best player from their county, their region.”

Majoring in sports management, with a minor in business, Brown is the first member of his family to go to college.

He started to get choked up just talking about.

“It’s emotional, but it’s a happy emotional,” Brown said. “I was going to college and my family couldn’t tell me because they hadn’t gone. There’s been a lot of ups and downs. There’s been a lot of homesickness.”

Yet, his mom has made every game and helped he realize he was right where he needs to be.

“She’s my No. 1 fan,” Brown said.

Now, he has four other Culpeper players to share the experience with.

“All of these guys, it’s deeper than basketball,” Brown said.

“Anybody knows me though, once I’m on the court - I don’t have any friends. If you’re on the other side of me, you better bring your best because I’m bringing mine.

“In basketball, if you’re not a shark, you get eaten.”

Will Jameson - Randolph College, freshman For a new program at Randolph, Jameson is hoping to be a part of many firsts.

“There’s a chance to break a record every single game,” Jameson said.

A forward at CCHS and now in college, he credits Thompson with becoming a better person and taking responsibility and being accountable. He grew up watching CCHS games, keeping close tabs on Thompson and dreamed of one day playing for him. Now, he’s another Blue Devil success story.

Again, confidence is the attribute he credits his coach with instilling in him.

“Without confidence, you can’t do anything, you have to believe in yourself,” Jameson said.

“It’s just a blessing because a lot of people can’t make it in college.”

The son of Theresa and Will Jameson, he credits his family with supporting him every step of the way.

“That was a big reason I picked Randolph so I could come home on weekends and my parents could come watch me play, they’ve never missed a game,” Jameson said.

VIEWS

A caring community rises to aid a local teen THE MARSHALL PLAN Marshall Conner

As summer officially draws to a close the back-to-school photos begin to flow across social media. Digital images create a perfect storm of cuteness, lunch boxes, backpacks and bright new

shoes.

Every year I enjoy seeing the creativity of families and smile at all the positive goals being set for a new school year. Many families work hard to provide a fresh start each year for their children. Many teens work summer jobs to help build funds for the school year, savings for college or new clothes.

It was the first Tuesday in August, the National Night Out, an evening where community and law enforcement renew partnerships to create safer communities, but someone had other plans.

Just days before the start of school a friend’s post on social media troubled me. The teenage son of a working mother of six had inadvertently dropped his wallet on the street as he checked his family’s mailbox. A passing car, apparently driven by a sharp-eyed, weasel of a human being, noticed the teen’s wallet and decided to snatch it.

Minutes later the teen realized a car was speeding off with the money he had earned working for a

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

I support Hanger Senator Emmett Hanger has my support. Emmett represents our area’s views both in the city and the county.

He supports public schools,

Culpeper based-USDA summer food distribution program all summer.

The money he earned was slated to help pay for clothing, shoes and other expenses for the school year.

He has a large family and every bit of extra money helps alleviate expenses for his family. He is a quiet, hardworking, athletic teen who deeply cares for his family and community.

The incident could easily have changed his view of the world—made him feel like life was stacked against him.

For a few hours the world seemed very cruel. A teen’s worldview can pivot at moments like this. He was unsettled by this drive-by thievery and devastated to see a summer’s worth of work erased in minutes by a random act of evil. He lost over $500.

Here’s where the story shifts.

A friend and colleague spotted a social media post from a justifiably upset mother. This empathetic lady formulated an impromptu plan to replace the teen’s stolen money with a grassroots effort.

In the hours that followed nearly 50 colleagues, neighbors and strangers mobilized an online drive to replace the stolen funds. A Go Fund Me account was established, and goodhearted citizens answered the call.

In a few days this band of kind people erased the damage a thief had inflicted on a young man.

“I hope that he will see that there are good people out there who care enough to fix a problem created by an evil act,” said one contributor. “I

hope that he sees that most people are good and have a heart. I hope that he realizes that people care about injustice.”

This past weekend the lady who organized the charitable effort presented the teen with enough money to cover his loss. A grateful hug from the young man spoke volumes.

The victim of this random crime learned a valuable lesson that good people still outnumber bad people in this world despite what we often perceive. He also discovered that a community had heard about his loss and responded.

My experience at Fishburne Military School as a young man taught me many life lessons. One of its best lessons came from a simple Honor Code that we memorized.

“A cadet (aka person) will not lie, cheat, or steal, nor tolerate those who do.”

Our society would be better served if we all lived by that code.

I have always believed that a tiny segment of the world’s population makes life harder for good people.

Never let that small group of truly bad people break our will to make this a better world.

This week, the power of kindness prevailed and a teenager’s faith in his community was rescued.

We should be proud of our community for standing up for a great young man in a time of need.

Who were these local heroes?

They do not seek glory…just know they are out there.

believes in personal responsibility, and fiscal restraint. Emmett has a record of successful legislation and was recently named “Top ten Most Productive State Legislators in the Nation.” He campaigns honestly and without telling misleading information and sometimes blatant

lies as many politicians today are doing. That’s not how Emmett works. I know Emmett, I believe Emmett and I’m voting for him June 11.

Hitchcock play set again for Sunday Windmore Foundation for the Arts’ StageWorks Theatre group had their opening of Vintage Hitchcock: a Live Radio Show by Joe Landry on Saturday August 15. A team of seven actors, two sound effects ladies, led by Director David Schubert turned the Jewell Boxx theatre into a 1950’s Radio Station. Without missing a beat they presented three of Hitchcock’s earliest suspense movies: The Lodger, Sabotage, and The 39 Steps.

The sound team, Ellen Wilson and Judy Sheridan, reproduced hundreds of effects, gathering noise makers from attics, tool boxes, and their own household. Some sounds were as simple as a ticking clock, others as dramatic as gunshots and an explosion.

They coordinated these sounds with the actors’ storytelling.

The seven actors changed their voices and delivery in order to play the sixty-three different characters.

Highlights include Tim Carlson as a dashing Scotland Yard agent, Alyssa Reck acting as a street barker, Marilyn Davis playing an agent for hire, Jon Quandt as the mysterious lodger, Andrea Dyer as a beautiful woman who meets a strange man on a train, Lou Torres portraying a movie theater operator who is a saboteur, and Wyatt Clatterbrough as an innocent lad who gets more than he bargained for while making a delivery. At times the actors simultaneously played three or four characters in the same

scenario. It was all done realistically and professionally.

The audience responded to the dramatic story and laughed at the occasional displays of Alfred Hitchcock’s humor. The “commercial breaks” were not so subtle reminders of other Hitchcock movies.

Brandon Alexander displayed his expertise with the lighting, and Johncie and Tim Carlson graciously allowed us to use their Studio C photography space for rehearsals.

If you missed the performances last weekend, you can still buy tickets to the play which is being performed this weekend at Prince Michel Winery in the Barrel Room.

The Saturday play is sold out, but there are still tickets available for the Sunday , August 26 at 3:00 PM. Tickets are $15.00 and can be purchased at Windmorefoundation. org.

Under NO circumstance should you send any money in advance or give the client your checking, license ID, or credit card numbers. Also beware of ads that claim to guarantee loans regardless of credit and note that if a credit repair company does business only over the phone it is illegal to request any money before delivering its service. All funds are based in US dollars. Toll free numbers may or may not reach Canada.

Weekly Tarotscope for Aug. 22: Strength, 10 Of Cups TAROTSCOPES

The Hierophant is a card of tradition and Cara Cutro structure, especially around our beliefs. He often symbolizes a strong commitment to something.

When he appears reversed it’s time to break free. Go rogue.

Abandon the beliefs that no longer serve our highest good and take a look at how we have allowed others to influence what is best for us, because it isn’t working anymore.

Be radical. Explore something different. Change churches. Break a bond that’s ready to be broken.

Reevaluate your belief system.

The 7 of Pentacles is all about assessing the situation.

We have worked hard to create something and it’s coming along nicely.

This is the pause before harvest time. What could we have done differently? Is this even working? Do we need to tear out something we have planted? The main question to ask ourselves with the 7 of Pentacles is, “Is it worth it?” If you answer no to that question, follow The Hierophant’s advice in the reversed position. Break free!

Cara Cutro is a spirit centered teacher and life coach residing in Sperryville, VA. She is an herbalist, massage therapist, reiki master, intuitive counselor, tarot reader, and the owner of Abracadabra Massage & Wellness and the Wisdomkeepers School. For a full list of services or to setup an appointment with her or one of her team members, book online www.caracadabra.com or call 540-878-7085.
