Kids can be kids at Camp Fantastic

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Cody Douglas knows how it feels be hooked up to IVs, to be unsure of your future, to have a diagnosis most kids will never have to deal with.

The Culpeper native was diagnosed with Leukemia as a child and as a result participated in Camp Fantastic, hosted by Special Love, for seven years.

Now Douglas is a nurse at Novant Health UVA Health System Culpeper Medical Center and serves as a counselor for the weeklong Camp Fantastic, which visited Culpeper for the 36th annual farm day at South Wind farm, owned by Marshall and Kacey Jenkins.

Douglas played cornhole with campers, laughing along with Jose Diaz as they attempted to knock their opponents bags off the board.

“I’m just honored to be here as an example,” Douglas said. “It just shows the campers that it’s able to be beat and you can have fun here at camp.”

He’s an example through just being there - showing that cancer can be beat and you can live a full life after it.

He said some campers will ask him questions about his ordeal, but most are just here to have fun.

Camp Fantastic is all about letting kids be kids - when they normally have to be more mature to deal with their diagnosis.

Standing next to the horses, waiting her turn, Olivia Wasson, 11, learned how to do “the floss” from another counselor.

A bright, energetic pre-teen, she rattled off her diagnosis of myelodysplastic syndrome like a sea-

So getting a chance to visit a farm for the first time during his first visit to the camp has been a blessing. Petting baby goats can be a real coping mechanism, she said.

“I think it’s a fun time that is really great,” she said.

Diaz, 17, is a veteran at these camps. Battling a low level lung cancer, he said he doesn’t have to worry as much as some of the other campers, so he appreciates the opportunity to help them enjoy being a kid.

“Farm day is my favorite day of the week,” he said. “I just like hanging out with my friends and playing games. It just feels good to be be able and go do silly things and it’s a fun week. I love it.”

Club for the past 36 years, Rotary Club member Susan Keller said it’s always a joy to help the children from Special Love.

“Everytime I talk about it, people want to get involved,” she said.

“All I have to do is make a phone call and and they all turn out.

Without Kacey and Marshall (Jenkins) this wouldn’t be possible, and they help make it bigger and better every year.”

For the Jenkins family, the kids and the event has become a yearly tradition.

They have hosted it on their farm for more than 20 years and they love to watch all the organizations come together to host face painting, petting zoos, bucket rides and RC airplane flying.

“We’re just blessed we can do

this, to see all these kids having a good time, this is what it’s all about,” Jenkins said.

Dr. Steve Chanock is a cancer researcher 51 weeks out of the year, but for the past 25 years he steps out of the lab to interact with the kids and get a view of just exactly what they’re dealing with.

He says it helps reset his compass.

“It’s more special than any words you can come up with,” Chanock said. “It’s what it’s all about, it’s making these kids happy and giving them an opportunity to feel like they’re normal.

“You look at this and see all the issues, I’ve been doing this 25 years so you see patterns and trajectories of things,” Chanock said.

“There are a lot of things to be very encouraged about.”

'Unstuck from Shame' conference to be held Saturday ➤ CUMC worship leader shares her greatest shame in effort to help heal others

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Denise Pass wants Culpeper to know they don’t have to live with shame.

The author of “Shame Off You,” which released on Abingdon Press on Tuesday, will host a conference called “Unstuck from Shame” Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Culpeper United Methodist Church.

Shame is something Pass is very familiar with - an emotion she’s battled in her personal life and one that she has learned from.

“I had gone through a very traumatic event in my life, where my former husband - it was revealed he was a sex offender,” Pass said, taking a deep breath. “I had been a Christian since 1988 and I’ve always been the ‘safe’ girl, do

everything right. I realized that part of my healing was to write. I wrote about hope and I don’t think I would have wanted to write about shame, but for me I realized shame was all around me.”

Her traumatic story takes up the first chapter of her book - as she explains it, you have to confront and admit shame before you can help other people deal with it.

A victim of sexual abuse as a child herself, Pass admits that she tried to do everything possible to shield her children from the same fate. She homeschooled her children, didn’t allow them to go to sleepovers and was protective.

She never thought it would happen under her own roof by her own husband. Only through listening to God did she discover the truth. “ I totally didn’t expect it,” she said. “For me, there was many layers of shame. There was the shame that we’re one of those families that’s blown apart. The shame that my children were hurt under my care. How did I not know?

There were so many aspects I was ➤ See Shame, Page 5

BIZ BIO The People of Wellspring: Nabeel Babar, END Nabeel Babar, MD, sees the hidden connections.

Babar, who will join Wellspring Health Services as Wellspring’s endocrinologist in September, is fascinated by something that doesn’t even cross the minds of many people: the complex interplay of systems within the body, all working behind the scenes to keep us alive and healthy.

Endocrinology is a medical specialty firmly rooted in physiology, a subject I fell in love with in medical school,” Babar explains.

Physiology deals with how the various organ systems in our body function seamlessly and without our control, and how these systems interact with one another. Our normal physiology is disrupted when we choose to adopt unhealthy lifestyles through bad dietary choices and lack of exercise—when this happens we develop diseases like obesity, diabetes, hypertension and high cholesterol.”

At Wellspring, Babar will be focusing on general adult endocrinology, with a special interest in obesity, type 2 diabetes, and thyroid diseases. He brings 15 years of clinical experience to the job, including a residency at Beth Israel Medical Center in New York and a fellowship at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, MD. Babar’s glad to be away from those big city settings, and excited to join Wellspring precisely because of Wellspring’s

commitment to providing the highest quality local health care possible.

“I think what sets Wellspring apart from the large corporate healthcare entities is that it’s a homegrown organization that aims to improve access to Nabeel Babar, END quality care for locals,” Babar said. “The result is more personalized and individualized care for patients. Within one year [Wellspring CEO] Dr. [Khalid] Athar and his team have made tremendous progress, and I wanted to be a part of that effort.”

When he’s not at Wellspring, you’re likely to find Babar outdoors doing what he loves to do—hiking, biking, or camping with his wife and 5 children. He also enjoys traveling and visiting with family, including his parents, both physicians themselves.

“I come from of a family of physicians so perhaps medicine is in my blood,” Babar said. “I watched them devote their lives to their patients and serving their communities. As a child I never thought I would follow in their footsteps, but eventually I realized that I share their love for public service and making a difference in the lives of my patients.”

Verdun Adventure Bound hosts annual Blues Festival this weekeend

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Verdun Adventure Bound has the Blues this weekend.

Verdun will host its annual Blues Festival Saturday, Aug. 26 beginning at 5 p.m. at the Anne Marie Sheridan Amphitheater along Route 229.

The concert will be headlined by the legendary blues band The ➤ Shame, from Page 4 dealing with and I had to look at.”

She pointed out the shame you put on yourself is enough, but then you have to deal with being judged and shamed by society. The worship leader at Culpeper United Methodist now, Pass was living in a different town in Virginia when the incident happened and remembers the reaction from the church she attended at the time.

“The church I was going to at the time, there was pressure, you need to reconcile,” Pass said.

She came to Culpeper in January to serve as worship leader and then was led to address her past by writing about shame.

Nighthawks “Since we’ve started doing the Blues festival every August, they’ve been the most popular group that we’ve had play,” Mike Timm, Artistic Director for Anne Marie Sheridan Amphitheater at Verdun Adventure Bound, said. “They draw hundreds of people and Mark Wenner’s enthusiasm today is as good as it was in the 70s.”

Joining them this year will be

Remington Steel, The Tom Robbins Blues Band and the Dear Johns Blues Band.

Timm said that the annual blues festival is growing, but Verdun still has high hopes for an even bigger turnout in the future.

“We’re better than last year, but we have a long way to go,” Timm said. “We broke even this year, we had more numbers than we’ve ever had but not the kind of numbers we

want.”

The blues festival is a culmination of Verdun’s annual summer concert series and is their most successful festival they hold each year.

“I think people come out because they like blues and they like a song that tells a story and they like that relaxed atmosphere,” Timm said.

The family-friendly event also ➤ See Blues, Page 11

“If you’re going to write a book on shame to help people, you can’t avoid your shame,” Pass said.

“Chapter one was the hardest chapter for me to write, which is the unveiling of the biggest shame of my life. If we really want to help people we have to be vulnerable enough.”

She was inspired by a series of sermons by Rev. Randy Orndorff, on being unstuck. Shame is all around us, she said, and it can be difficult to become “unstuck” from the cycle of shame.

Shame can come not just from traumatic events, but from other people shunning you or worrying about what others think. She uses the book to help people face those

situations - with scriptures in the back of the book to help heal the pain.

“People look at the fruit of shame, and they don’t really look at what is causing it,” Pass said.

“I would say, there are many reasons, but society yes is one of them. Shame happens in public often. Really, we do it to ourselves in our minds. We choose if we are going to receive that shame or not, we don’t have to. Through a lense of humility, grace and truth, people can let go of shame by examining it.”

Addressing it, hitting the topic head on is the solution.

“Hiding shame doesn’t heal it,” Pass said. “If we don’t recognize

it, these things control us. People spend so much time on stuff that doesn’t matter, but if you recognize it and deal with it you can be on a mission for Christ.”

She hosted a conference last weekend at a local church and felt she made a connection with those in attendance.

“It was just amazing for me to see the response of people, just ‘ah-ha’ moments,” Pass said. “How did shame work in your life, and now how do we get rid of it?

The conference costs $30 and includes a copy of “Shame Off You.” To register, visit www.culpeperumc.org/unstuckfromshame.

“My hope is that people will truly be set free,” Pass said.

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Anneliese Mabie’s dedication to theatre and equestrian activities helped her land a Congressional Award.

The Orange County High School sophomore received the award from Congressman Dave Brat (R-7th) in Culpeper Tuesday.

Mabie participated in Four County Players community Theatre, developing her acting skills, attending weekly theater classes and participating in a production of the Wizard of Oz. She said while acting is fun, she also really enjoyed working in stage management.

“It just keeps the whole show together and I also help move a bunch of the props around,” Brat said.

In addition to her work with the theater, she also developed riding skills with Tom Seay of Andora Farms, learning how to ride without stirrups. She participated in a cattle drive at Andora, using her riding skills and camping with her horse for two days.

“It was really different from the riding I normally do,” Mabie said of the experience.

“I normally ride English, on the cattle drive I ride Western with my instructor. It was really cool.”

Seay, host of the national television show Best of America by Horseback, helped her connect with a different riding style.

“He was really friendly and he taught

me a lot of things,” Mabie said.

The daughter of Denise and Jerome Mabie, of Locust Grove, she talked with Congressman Brat ahead of being presented the medal, with the congressman praising her for her drive and foresight.

Brat said he enjoys working with the youth and rewarding them for their contributions to the community.

“It lets me kind of relive my teaching days and gets me back with young people,” Brat said. “Meeting special people like Anneliese today, she’s just across the board well-rounded - in the arts and service to the community. It’s great to see young people developed already.”

The criteria for award requires recipients to work in a public service capacity, in an effort to get young people prepared for the future.

“I used to teach at a liberal arts college that deals with well rounded people and it looks like we already have a person already accomplished at a very young age and very well-rounded,” Brat said. “I think it’s just a beginning of a great career and life that you’re going to have.”

Christ In Action moves into new warehouse in Elkwood

By Amy Wagner Culpeper Times Contributing Writer Truly the hands and feet of Christ a local faith-based organization, Christ In Action (CIA), is living up to their primary goal of bringing hope to America’s families. In disaster situations across America CIA volunteers help those who cannot help themselves.

Relocating from their current space in Warrenton, CIA plans to fully occupy their new warehouse in Elkwood this fall.

CIA began as an evangelistic organization founded in 1982 by Executive Director Denny Nissley and his wife Sandy. Located in Manassas for over 20 years, they began reaching out to disaster areas around the United States growing their disaster relief team to include their current fleet of 53 pieces of rolling stock (trucks, trailers and heavy equipment) and countless volunteers. With over 2 million dollars’ worth of equipment they are ready to deploy for disaster relief at any given time.

CIA moved to Warrenton in 2013 where they remained until their recent purchase of the Elkwood warehouse this year. During a recent warehouse tour Chris Zitzmann, CIA Director of Operations, acknowledged that much of the work in the new warehouse is volunteer labor and engineering; some of whom have travelled from North Carolina, Maryland and Texas.

“Texas has probably been the furthest for this project,” said Zitzmann. The office expansion includes an additional 1,000 square feet of space with shower facilities and office and conference space. Getting by with a little help from friends Bobcat of Northern Virginia is loaning CIA a powerbrush so they can clean their new lot and DSI (Demolition Services Incorporation) is providing them with a roll off and power lift to simplify their relocation efforts.

“A couple years ago we prayed and began planning to buy a larger space. We planned for a 40,000 square foot space which would have costed us 4.1 million dollars and ended up purchasing the current warehouse space for 1.2 million instead, encompassing 40,100 square feet.

Since the mid-90s, or before, the warehouse belonged to US Green Fiber where they manufactured fertilizer and insulation.

They didn’t need it anymore and we were interested and signed March 6 of this year.

We immediately began moving equipment down from Warrenton and began renovations and office expansion,” said Zitzmann In addition to disaster relief, CIA has been offering Disaster Preparedness Seminars since 2013. The seminars cover how to prepare family units for disaster as well as businesses and organizations. They proceed with how to integrate that into the community. The next seminar will be held October 20th at Stafford Crossing in Fredericksburg, VA. Additional upcoming trainings include

CIA executed their biggest deployment ever during Hurricane Katrina in 2005.

They received and distributed 100 million dollars’ worth of product to those in need on the Gulf Coast.

“FEMA told us we had the single largest feeding and distribution site on the Gulf Coast during Katrina,” said Zitzmann.

During Hurricane Harvey in 2017, 294 CIA volunteers from 25 states were deployed for disaster relief. In November of 2017 USA Today said that eighty percent of the relief for recent disasters has been coming from faith-based communities.

“More and more governments are looking to churches for more support,” said Zitzmann.

Reflecting on the history of CIA Zitzmann said, “One of the highlights for us was coordinating the food at the Pentagon parking lot after 9/11. My wife, Bethany, served 5,000 breakfasts by 7 a.m. every day. Another highlight was when President G.W. Bush visited our site during Katrina.”

Walking through the warehouse Zitzmann said they are in the first of three phases of development.

Developing the office space has been recognized as first and foremost so they can fully relocate from their current Warrenton location by fall and begin conquering phase two which includes replacing the garage doors; installing emergency generators and adding a walk-in refrigerator/freezer to store donated food items.

This phase also includes the installation of ramps and shelving to better maintain the fleet.

The third phase includes building another structure, on the far side of the warehouse lot, designed for a maintenance shop.

Zitzmann looped back around to the volunteers and expressed appreciation for their time, dedication and skills while also mentioning some of the businesses that have donated materials and services including Capitol Building Supply (Marshall, VA); Jim Aukamp Flooring (Drumore, PA); Groves Hardware (Remington, VA); CP Johnson Lumber (Elkwood, VA); Cherry Street Lumber, R.W. Kilby Wire & Water and VAMAC Plumbing Supply (Culpeper, VA).

While there are plenty of volunteer opportunities CIA’s most immediate needs are for skilled electricians, roofers and plumbers; Master HVAC Certified Designer and an NICET Certified Fire Sprinkler Installer.

BOOM Fitness improves women's self esteem

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer

ing to work, be a parent and work out but it’s important to take care of yourself.

“I feel like there’s so much pressure on us as women to take care of the kids, to work, we feel like we have to do everything and we forget about ourselves,” Corran said.

“When we forget about ourselves, we lose ourselves in the mix.”

She’s already working with the youth of the area, hosting a cheerleading camp with Liberty High School earlier this summer.

“I feel like we need to start them out young,” Corran said. “I also helped with Kid Central over the summer and I feel like if we start them young, when they get to our age it’s not a chore. They’re already taking care of their body.”

Her most popular class is boot camp, offered on Mondays and Thursdays for six weeks. An intensive class, she’s already had 60 people sign up for this session.

“It’s very, very hard,” Corran said.

“It’s very physical, but what I look forward to is that we take their before pictures and what’s so touching is everybody looks so sad because they’re ashamed of themselves. But

Karen Corron is looking to improve Culpeper’s self esteem.

The owner of BOOM Fitness, located at 200 W. Culpeper St., celebrated her grand opening on Friday and then hosted an open house Saturday at her new location.

A longtime instructor, Corron taught in Culpeper at two other locations before deciding, with her husband’s push, to open her own place.

“To me it’s not just about exercising outside of the body, it’s about to see them grow on the inside also and for them to be happy with themselves, not just outside but inside also,” Corron said. “In this journey as women, we have very low self esteem.”

While she works with families and some men, the primary focus of her gym is improving women’s self-esteem and helping them achieve their goals both physically and mentally.

As a mother of two daughters, ages 13 and 14, she admits that it can sometimes seem daunting try-

TECHNOLOGY Changing the Status Quo DATA DUMP

Technological advancement threatens to shake up “old school” industries. This can lead to great resistance from the “old guard”.

Examples of this include renewable energy that threatens the fossil fuel industry, driverless vehicles threatening long haul drivers, and even self-service kiosks in fast food restaurants will decrease the need for wait staff. And then, we have some advances come across as somewhat useless, like the Bluetooth enabled smart toaster, which supposedly perfectly toasts your bread, every time.

Another industry in need of a major shakeup is movie theaters. For years, theaters were seeing attendance drop and prices rise. On top of that, a movie released in the theater today, can be

John Barker

seen on home release in approximately 90 days. Nationally, it costs a family of four $36 just for tickets, without factoring in the cost of concessions.

And to put the cherry on top, most people would probably prefer to binge on Netflix at home, which has proven to be another great advancement in home entertainment.

MoviePass shook up the movie theater industry 1 year ago, when it introduced its $9.95, one movie a day, subscription service. Originally priced between $20-$50, based on region, MoviePass has repeatedly made headlines since dropping their price in August 2017. As an avid moviegoer, I signed up last November.

The premise was simple, you get a debit card sent to you in the mail and you download an app on your phone. Once you get to the theater, check-in to the movie showtime in the app and the debit card becomes active to use. I have used it 17 times, which isn’t too shabby of a return. The

business model that MoviePass used is how many other technology-based, subscription services work, but it’s failing them.

A typical subscription model service offers cheap prices to quickly grow the number of paying subscribers. As the subscriber base grows, the company will find additional ways to make more money off them. They can offer additional services, sell advertising, or more commonly, sell access to the customer data.

MoviePass went from tens of thousands of users to over 3 million paid subscribers in a year. With the average movie ticket costing about $9 a ticket, my 17 trips to the theater cost them $15.30 per month, on only $9.95 of revenue. Clearly this is not sustainable.

MoviePass has repeatedly made the news for knee jerk reactions to their pricing and services. They even ran out of money the weekend the new Mission Impossible movie came out. If you sign up today, the current service is now only 3 movies per month with no set listing of available movies. Still a great deal, but its more annoying to use.

The MoviePass executives underestimated the movie studios’ desires for customer data and were met harshly by some theater chains. They had almost no additional streams of revenue and were burning thru their investor cash pile.

MoviePass became the middle man that the big theater chains didn’t want. So even as MoviePass subscriber base skyrocketed, they were never able to gain a percentage of ticket or concession money. It was easier for other theater chains to setup their own similar service, such as AMC A-List program.

Being first or the most innovative in your field puts a target on your back. Go look up many tech gadgets or services you use today, and you will probably run across a story of early versions, made by different people, that didn’t make it, search for the first smartphone. I think it’s a coin toss if MoviePass survives, but they have unquestionably made their mark on the theater going crowd going forward.

Rumor is Amazon wants to buy a movie theater chain. I wonder what innovations they will try to bring?

HISTORY French Royalty in Culpeper: Part four ZANN’S PLACE

Recently, the story of a mysterious Frenchman, the alleged son of a royal nobleman, was investigated after the accidental discovery of a handwritten letter in the Culpeper County packet of archived arrest warrants for the year 1893.

The letter, signed by the author as Lewis Philippe E. Jerome Bonaparte Edgar De Duphane, eluded to royal family connections, the assassination of a Russian Czar, family members who had fought during the American Civil War and an accusation of improper conduct supposedly perpetrated by the writer upon another’s wife.

The Frenchman was decidedly despondent and declared that he

Zann Nelson

would end his life rather than endure continued misery.

The investigation was closed for the lack of more detail, particularly the name by which this fellow was customarily known.

While researching another matter altogether and perusing in the same courthouse the criminal cases for the 1893 period the name Showalter leapt from the page.

Showalter was the name of the man who accused the Frenchman of inappropriate behavior toward his wife.

Following the line across to the second page the name of the complainant was apparent: Edgar Duphane. Could this be the mysterious Frenchman, with a name that could now be further researched?

Edgar and Duphane were the last two names in the six-name signature at the close of his letter. ➤ See French, Page 11

➤ French, from Page 10 The investigation was back on the table and the anticipation was tantalizing.

In the 1893 letter to the Citizens of Culpeper County and the Commonwealth composed by the man we now know as Edgar Duphane there were several references that have now been exposed in greater detail.

What has been discovered?

• The Frenchman living in Culpeper, Virginia in 1893, whose full name we can now verify as Edgar Sydolph Jerome Rodabert de Duphane, was born in Toulon, France about 1861 allegedly to Count Henri Charles de Chambord and Anna Lamar of Savannah, Georgia: more about Count Henri later.

• He was educated at Woolrich and Oxford-both in England- and rose to the rank of captain in her Majesty’s Royal Navy by 1882.

• Records indicate that he immigrated to the United States in 1884-85: sailed on the “Carroll” out of Nova Scotia and landed in Boston, Massachusetts.

• Two of his “French” relatives did indeed serve in a military position during the American Civil War, although the documented specifics differ somewhat from statements in his letter as to the nature of the familial relationship and which cause they supported.

Local News

• Edgar Duphane was engaged in a dispute with B. F. Showalter and was both a plaintiff and a defendant in the court records.

The review of at least six different newspaper articles, a marriage record, and a visit to the Find-AGrave website not only substantiate Duphane’s claims as stated above but also add more definition to the life of this fascinating character.

More about the Frenchman who lived in Culpeper County • Despite the bleak tone of his missive to the Citizens of Culpeper, Duphane did not die in Culpeper County in 1893 or at any other time.

• However, he did relocate to the Shenandoah Valley and was employed as a music teacher.

• In 1898, he married Sadie Hopkins of that same county.

• Edgar Duphane died in Washington, DC in 1901 • There is no record of Edgar Duphane having any descendants.

Stay tuned for the final chapter.

Until next week, be well.

IN BRIEF

Bailey vice-chair of fire services board Jeff Bailey from Brandy Station, was recently elected Vice-Chairperson of the Virginia Fire Services Board at their meeting in Hampton, Virginia. Bailey is currently serving his 2nd four-year term. He has two years remaining on the board. ➤ Blues, from Page 5 features catering by Garnished Affair and Magnolia Vineyards has wines and sangria for sale during the event.

Timm stressed it’s a concert for all ages and said families are welcome to attend and enjoy blues together.

“We have a picnic tables and they are welcome to bring their own food,” Timm said. “People bring hula hoops and Frisbees and other games, the whole place is made available so you can go down to the pond and the small climbing wall.”

Timm said events like the summer concert series are designed to help increase the visibility of Verdun Adventure Bound, a non profit team building and concert venue

Bailey recently retired as a Chief Officer with the Spotsylvania County Department of Fire, Rescue and Emergency Management. He had over 31 years in the career service and has over 40 years with the Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department and is a former Chief.

Bailey continues to work parttime as an Instructor for the Virginia Department of Fire Programs.

“The number one thing I found is that if we say it’s a fundraiser we get a lot more people,” Timm said. “If we join up with other groups that have a similar interest, they’ll now have a venue.”

To that end, they hosted a non profit day earlier in the year that was successful and in the future they’re looking at more themed days, including possibly a children’s day with an event for parents and activities for children.

Timm encouraged residents to stop out at Verdun on Saturday to enjoy a night of the Blues.

“There’s a lot of places to go to in this area, but none as close or as beautiful and as enjoyment with affordable prices to have a nice family day out that is nearby,” Timm said.

Tickets are $10 on Eventbrite or $12 at the door.

Daniel Day Lewis stars as a well-connected, socially correct lawyer, who risks his future place in society when he falls in love with his fiancee’ May’s married cousin, Countess Ellen Olenska (Michelle Pfeiffer). The film won an Oscar for Costume Design, and Winona Ryder was nominated in the supporting acting category for her nuanced performance as the charming but passive May.

As Merrick tries to make amends to the man's widow, Helen (Irene Dunne), his long journey from selfish cad to compassionate savior becomes a magnificent obsession. John M. Stahl directed this first film adaptation of Lloyd C. Douglas’ 1929 best-selling novel that had been something of a phenomenon for its message of enriching one's own life through philanthropy and acts of compassion done in secret. Later remade

by Douglas Sirk and starring Rock Hudson and Jane Wyman, this romantic drama was a big hit that catapulted Taylor, up until then a light leading man, to stardom. 35mm archival print, 112 min. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken.

VIEWS LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Love and hate of solar energy It is amazing how we love electricity, but hate its production.

Apply for a permit to produce even clean forms of electricity and voices come out of the woodwork screaming “not in my backyard!”

It will ruin my life, spoil my views, degrade the history of the area and put an end to farming.

Still, amid the hypocrisy, the protestors, like the rest of us, run to turn down their thermostats on a hot day.

Newspaper photos show an elderly lady resting on her front porch talking about her view and a ruined life. Unfortunately, she does not own the view if it involves her neighbor’s property. On 50 acres she has room to create her own view.

Solar farm protestors talk about spoiling the view from Hansbrough Ridge but that high spot is private property and off limits to those who would picnic there on a Sunday afternoon.

Civil War preservationists talk about every foot of the Stevensburg and Carolina roads as if it all was ground. They look at the land through rose colored glasses. In reality this area was the scene of violence, ruined farms and ruined lives during a disastrous war that divided our country.

The preservationists who oppose solar farms seem to overlook the numerous houses that have sprung

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Convince BOS to keep Culpeper pretty After attending the Board of Supervisors meeting last week it is obvious that there are still many unanswered questions from the constituents (this community) and yet there are many more questions yet to be asked and answered.

For those of you who didn’t attend, it was a packed house. There were many concerned residences that are opposed to these solar projects and many of them spoke

up on this “hallowed ground.”

We are told that pulling farm land from “land use” status will only produce enough back taxes to pay one teacher’s annual salary, but we ignore the fact that solar farms will be paying full tax on the land plus an improvements for the next 35 years (the term of the lease).

And solar farms, unlike the homes that could be built on these fields, don’t require services like schools, police and emergency services that come at a great cost to the taxpayer.

The elephant (farm land consumed for housing development is loose in our community and we focus on the flea.

What of Supervisor Bill Chase, who has said he will not vote on the solar farm issues because he has a tiny section of land that may be leased? Chase represents one-seventh of Culpeper County. Moreover, he represents the affected citizens, those of Stevensburg District. He has a moral responsibility to stand up for those citizens, even if he must provide a disclaimer prior to his vote. I know Chase as a man of integrity who will do his best to preserve Culpeper County’s way of life.

But if Chase does not vote on the solar issue, then we should ask any other member of the Board of Supervisors who might have a financial interest in the house industry or agriculture to abstain also. If many fields are not leased for solar they will become the site of homes.

Solar leases will help the farmer and preserve farmland. One Culpeper County dairy farmer was recently forced to spend $250,000 for a robot milking system because he cannot find help. Lower, commodity prices are forcing other farmers out of business. Leasing one field to a solar company could move the farmer past the break even point and save his farm - and the scenic views we love so dearly.

Producing solar electricity is nothing new. It has been part of our daily lives for decades in homes, schools, retirement communities and along highways with traffic signs. It is clean, quiet and efficient. And it is the way of the future. When tied to a conditional use permit, we are assured that the land in question could never be used for any heavy industrial purpose in the future.

If the permit is revoked the land returns to agriculture.

The first of what is likely to be several solar farm applications will come before the Board of Supervisors in September. That group has the ability and responsibility to add any conditions that they feel would make the application better for everyone.

Do we move into the future or do we take a step backward? Do we forsake clean energy for more houses and higher taxes? Do we help farmers stay in business or force them to sell to developers? Our supervisors will decide.

out passionately against them. Not one resident spoke in favor of these projects. Just in case you didn’t hear me, not one resident spoke in favor of these solar projects, not one!

I urge the BOS to deny these solar Power Plants and not waste tax payer money.

Most importantly, the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors needs to extend the amount of time of the public forum to allow tax paying residents of Culpeper county to voice legal concerns and opinions.

It is imperative that affected residents ask their ever-growing list of questions.

You owe the residents who elected you this courtesy.

Permitting these Industrial Power Plants in these unique area’s will only devastate our tourism, negatively impact the economic wellbeing of a majority of Culpeper and destroy our “Prettiest Town in Virginia” image.

Keep Culpeper ascetically pretty.

May god continue to bless Culpeper County and its residents.

I love Culpeper, and I’m here to stay!.

'Chorus Line' – A Singular Sensation They get out of bed no matter how they feel, show up for the audition, and dance their little hearts out.

Some of the bodies are starting to show the wear, and some of the smiles are getting a little more desperate, but this is important.

They need this job.

And so the backstage life of a New York musical theatre dancer comes into the spotlight.

From the hopeful individuals that the director sees at the beginning to the polished, highstepping pros that the audience gets at the end, “A Chorus Line” is their story.

Riverside has chosen this oneof-a-kind musical sensation to conclude twenty years of Broadway hit offerings in the region, and it’s a ringer.

Launched in 1975, “A Chorus Line” broke all attendance records, ➤ See Chorus, Page 17

➤ Chorus, from Page 16 ran for over fifteen years, and won nine Tonys as well as the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

And why not? It had the direction and choreography of Michael Bennett, the music of Marvin Hamlisch, and an idea that had never been brought to fruition on stage before.

The continued relevance of that idea coupled with strong production values sets the tone for what’s happening now on the Riverside stage.

Penny Ayn Maas’s tightly paced direction and Justin Amellio’s Bennett-inspired choreography invoke the never-ending struggle for high stakes success while bracing for failure that is the everyday life of New York show business folk.

The very first and most important “got it right” is the casting of 22 dancers whom one can credibly imagine living this life. (That sounds like a no-brainer unless you have seen – as I have – a cast that includes muffin tops and tattoos) The opening number “I Hope I Get It” introduces the dancers’ overall strength punctuated with occasional flubs, wrong turns, and lost timing as they struggle to keep up with the barking casting

director, Zach (J. Clayton Winters).

Having survived the first cut, the dancers are asked to talk about themselves - explain why they chose to become dancers.

Zach alternately bullies and cajoles these hopefuls into revealing their inner lives.

The genius of this concept has what will ultimately be a welloiled, unified dancing machine breaking apart to examine the heart and soul of its components.

Some are eager to share, some reluctant, some have a defiant edge.

Mike (Josh McWhortor) is first.

With plenty of snap and sass, Mike relays “I Can Do That,” his childhood story of watching a dance class and realizing that this was something he was born to do.

Sheila (Mackenna Milbourn), on the other hand, doesn’t like this kind of spotlight, and retreats into attitude only to be forced into the open by Zach’s persistent questions.

Her unpleasant home life comes out in “At The Ballet” when she is joined by Bebe (Sydney

Kirkegaard) and Maggie (Annalese Fusaro) in a dream-like patchwork of little girl memory.

A very different tone is set

by Val (Abigail Gardner) in the startlingly funny and bald-faced reality of “Dance:Ten; Looks: Three” aka “Tits and Ass.” Ms. Gardner nails the role of an accomplished dancer who couldn’t get the part because she wasn’t pretty or voluptuous enough.

And so she embraced the answer: cosmetic surgical implants. Now she gets the job.

Nicole Oberleitner is spot on as Cassie, the performer who was “almost a star” and who doesn’t belong in the chorus line – at least according to Zach, who was once her lover.

Her solo “The Music and The Mirror” is as soul-revealing as dance can hope to be, and her private confrontation with Zach ramps up the under current of desperate drive and time running out.

Not all the dancers are equally actors, but Paul (Sam Brackley) takes the audience by the throat in his painful monologue as a shy, gay teenager suffering multiple molestations.

Another kind of sadness comes out with Diana’s (Melinette Pallares) memory of a high school drama coach who made her feel like

“nothing” – which is exactly what she felt when he died.

The power of “A Chorus Line” is in the honesty of its theme.

In mid-audition, one dancer’s accident forces them all to confront the inevitability of time and aging.

This leads to what is probably the most emotionally piercing routine of the night, “What I Did For Love.”

Diana and the Company bring the house down accompanied by Angie Benson’s live orchestra.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, the moment you’ve all been waiting for – the grand finale, the ones who made the cut, the winners – this time – in their golden tuxes and top hats in perfect precision to the fabulous show stopper “One” (Singular Sensation!).

And just as the performers have gone from tights and sweats and tees to gleaming, fitted showbiz wear, DT Willis’s set transforms from its rehearsal room pipes, old brick, and mirrors to the glittering lights of a Broadway stage.

Beautiful work for ending the last 20 years of trials and triumphs.

We wish Riverside even greater success for 20 more.
