LOCAL NEWS Sex, Drug and God offers support for depression, addiction

By Amy Wagner Contributing writer Sex, Drugs and God, a peer recovery support for adults, was incorporated in June of 2017.

SDG is a support system for people suffering from depression, suicidal thoughts, mental illness and addiction. The goal of SDG is to equip adults with life skills so they can be functioning, contributing members of the community.

Dan Obarski, a Virginia certified Peer Recovery Specialist and founder of SDG, sees about twenty clients on a regular basis. Some of his clients are in active recovery, some in jail and some are teetering on inactive.

“There is a big faith piece woven into my work,” said Obarski who wants people to realize that “they can get restoration beyond recovery.”

Obarski is no stranger to recovery and understands the importance of having a strong support system in place.

He has fought his own addictions and has attempted suicide In the past.

Following a head injury in 2013 he was forced into sobriety.

“What was I going to do,” said Obarski recently.

“I spent six months in bed; I had no choice.”

Obarski and his family joined

Culpeper United Methodist Church in late 2013 and he quickly got involved in men's’ groups, bible studies and the life of the church. “What I was learning was good stuff, but I didn’t know how to apply it to my life,” he said referring to scripture and group studies. “How do you trust? How do you give it to God?” Trying to figure out how to apply it in his own life Obarski came up with SDG. “It took me three years to figure it out. How do you turn something over to an entity that’s not a physical entity?” said Obarski who wants to help people through that process.

Obarski plans regularly scheduled meetings with his clients over a six to nine-month period. These meetings take place in the SDG mobile addiction recovery coaching office which Obarski refers to as a “mobile lounge.”

SDG is funded by donations from Community Care Partners including Berry Brothers Foundation; Baby Jim’s; Jefferson Home Builders; Demolition Services Inc.; Alum Springs Baptist Church; Lakota Ranch; and Come as You Are (CAYA). Any individual or organization interested in becoming a Community Care Partner can do so by visiting www.sexdrugsandgod. com or on Facebook at https://m. facebook.com/sexdrugsandgod.

“Culpeper could have a sober clubhouse. We need that; it would be so awesome.”

On Oct. 13, Obarski held a Light the Night with HOPE event at Yowell Meadow Park to raise awareness for addiction and suicide issues that are a growing epidemic in our community. Buffalo Wild Wings and Spanky’s BBQ provided food and Bernie Amusement Rentals set up a moon bounce for the younger generation in attendance. Those attending the event were invited to write down the names of loved ones lost to addiction or suicide.

Twenty names were written down and read aloud prior to the

walk as a tribute to honor those lost lives.

Approximately 150 people attended the event which culminated with a glow stick lit walk down Main Street Culpeper at dusk.

Reflecting on his ministry, resources, certification and experience Obarski looks ahead to the future. “I am waiting for God now.

I will continue to share my experience, strength and hope with others.” As far as SDG, Obarski smiled and said, “the spoiler alert is you can’t have all three at the same time. I want to help others learn the difference between their will and God’s will.”

Endocrinology services now offered in Culpeper & Madison Nabeel Babar, MD Endocrinologist SPECIALTY SERVICES www.wellspringhealthservices.com COMMUNITY NEWS

CCPS Chromebook iniative begins January Come January, each high school student in Culpeper County will have access to a Chromebook 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Culpeper County Public School’s 1:1 Chromebook Initiative was the primary topic of discussion at the Culpeper County School Board’s work session Oct. 22.

The goal is for students at Culpeper County High School and Eastern View High School to receive Chromebooks that they will be able to take home with them provided by the schools.

Donovan O’Brien, curriculum specialist with CCPS, and network engineer Maria Weiss laid out for the school board the number of Chromebooks needed and the expected policies for the students.

The school division’s instructional resource teachers are working through 2,500 Chromebooks and expect to have 867 prepared by the end of the week. They expect to distribute the Chromebooks Jan. 3 to CCHS students and Jan. 4 to EVHS. A media blitz including a press release, information on the website and flyers distributed to students - will begin Nov. 16.

A series of obstacles needed to be addressed before finalizing the project, including discussion of repair costs and whether or not to charge a “technology fee” to students to help generate revenue to purchase more Chromebooks. Each Chromebook’s full replacement fee is $279 with a set list of repair costs provided by the school to parents and students for items such as cracked cases, screens and more. O’Brien explained that the manufacturer warranty will cover the first “oops” but after that students will be charged for repairs just as they would if they damaged a textbook.

They also discussed if they should include bags or cases, but the school board reached a consensus that students will likely purchase their own and they

CULPEPER YOUTH SPOTLIGHT

Madison | 540.948.6871 will be keeping them in their book bags to begin with.

Each student will receive a student usage agreement, that covers all the legal agreements that the student and CCPS will agree to. That includes a paragraph that reads: “if loss or damage occurs, students and their parent or guardian agree to any applicable charges outlined the repair cost list. The charges are intended to promote good habits and responsible handling of CCPS-issued devices. Devices reported as stolen outside of school require that parents notify police and send an official police report to their school administration.”

Another topic discussed was whether or not to allow students to keep the Chromebooks during the summer, with consensus among the school board agreeing to allow them to keep them as they may have summer projects, and it reduces the workload for the school ITRTs. They will collect the Chromebooks from graduating seniors during the graduation checklist period.

“Staff has vetted every possible scenario,” CCPS superintendent Tony Brads said.

CPD issues Halloween safety reminders

Riley Reynolds (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.)

College essays are hard. I’m accustomed to being able to write an essay in 24 minutes and usually doing a pretty good job on it. But when my academic future is at stake, I can’t seem to like anything that I write. Throughout the entire college application process, I have been a mess. But it is the camaraderie of Culpeper Youth that has kept me sane. The family that is the Youth Advisory Council has helped me even though they may be unaware of it! They have talked me down when I am stressed and have helped me when I have needed it whether it had to do with the next meetings agenda, remembering something I have forgotten or remembering the name of the song that was playing when we were having a meeting at Panera! Things like that are the reason that everyone should join Culpeper Youth. Everyone deserves to have the same incredible, insane family that I do.

Halloween can be a fun and exciting time for kids, but can be very worrisome for some parents.

The Culpeper Police Department will have extra officers on duty for Halloween events and will have high visibility in all neighborhood areas. The following neighborhoods within the Town will have increased pedestrian traffic during Halloween: Blue Ridge Avenue, West Street, Davis Street, Highpoint, Lakeview, Pelham's Reach, and Redwood Lakes.

"We want Halloween to be a fun time for all. We encourage all residents to follow the reminders above in order to keep everyone safe on Halloween night," Culpeper Police Chief Chris Jenkins said.

Chief Jenkins also encourages all residents to report suspicious activity "If you see somethingsuspicious or that seems out of place, please don't hesitate to contact law enforcement to check into the situation."

Final Salute honors 19 veterans at Culpeper National Cemetery

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Nineteen American service members were recognized and remembered for their service with a Final Salute Oct. 19.

The 19 were originally interred at Culpeper National Cemetery in Fiscal Year 2018 without any formal military ceremony or family present.

Matthew Priest, Director Culpeper, Winchester, Staunton, and Balls Bluff National Cemeteries, honored the men along with the Hero’s Bridge organization with full military honors and remarks from dignitaries.

“Where we render the final salute for 19 veterans we interred without

formal recognition, military honors or family present during fiscal year 2018,” Priest said. “There were soldiers, airmen and sailors, they were someone’s son or daughter, brother or sister, neighbor or friend. Today we honor them here at the Culpeper National Cemetery.”“These soldiers, airmen and sailors left everything they knew to defend our nation.”

More than 200 people turned out on a bright, crisp fall day to honor the memory of the men buried at the National Cemetery, taking a moment to show pride in our country and respect for our veterans.

“We believe those worthy of donning the cloak of our nation deserve a final resting place in a national ➤ See Salute, Page 5

➤ Salute, from Page 4 shrine,” Priest said. “They are also worthy of a lasting tribute to commemorate their service and their sacrifice. They earned our undying gratitude and respect.”

Chris Snider, Deputy District Director for Congressman Dave Brat (R-7th), read from a letter the congressman sent along.

“Today we gather to remember the brave men and women who sacrificed everything to defend the constitution of the United States,” Snider read. “America has always had heroes step forward for a greater cause. Tragically the unaccompanied veterans we honor today will never have their names printed in papers, or have their stories read in textbooks, but it’s the sacrifice they made we must remember.”

Del. Nick Freitas, a veteran himself, said that he’s often asked why there is so much ceremony in the military?

“Ceremony actually helps with remembrance,” Freitas said. “When you read the scripture there are many times when God says to his people, ‘do this in remembrance.’

The reason for that is because when there is calmer times, more prosperous times, peaceful times, as human beings we have a tendency to forget the sacrifice paid to get to those times. That’s one of the reasons we

do things like this.”

The keynote speaker was Lt. Col. Paul Needham, United States Air Force, who was a prisoner of war during the Iran Hostage crisis.

From Nov. 4, 1979 until Jan. 20, 1981, Needham and 51 other American diplomats and citizens were held hostage for 444 days after a group of Iranian college students belonging to the Muslim Student Followers of the Imam's Line, who supported the Iranian Revolution, took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. It stands as the longest hostage crisis in recorded history.

Lt. Col. Paul Needman, U.S. Air Force (retired) speaks during the Final Salute ceremony Oct. 19. and remarked, “the spirit of America is still here.”

He honored those 19, commenting on what it means to be a veteran and what it means to sacrifice to serve your country.

He shared his service story, when he enlisted in 1973 to his experience as a hostage at 30 years-old. He shared that his family is probably not unlike many in the nation, that he enlisted, his brother enlisted, his sons enlisted and they’ve all made sacrifices.

“We’re a family of service,” he said.

He shared his harrowing experiences as a hostage - of being lined up

for a firing squad, to hear the rounds chambered the fear that was eventually quelled by his faith in God. “I survived by my faith in God, my family and my country,” he said.

Town Councilman Keith Price was impressed with the number of people who showed up to honor the veterans, who had their names read off by Debbie Eisele of Hero’s Bridge and a candle light in their memory “The fact that people would show up to honor the deceased veterans they didn’t even know is a special thing,” Price said. “It shows how supportive this community is to veterans.”

Pamper Me Pink helps provide mammograms to Culpeper

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Lynn Nelson wasn’t sure what to do when she was diagnosed with cancer.

Sitting on the stage at Pamper Me Pink Tuesday evening, the Culpeper resident recalled an experience inside Pamper Me Pink co-host Sharon Welch Clark’s store Pepperberries. A lady came up and ruffled her now shaved head and commented how adorable she was.

She tried on jewelry, clothes and decided that as her granddaughter suggested, she was going to “rock it.”

It was that positive attitude and support from the community that has helped her face her diagnosis and share her triumphs and hardships with the community at Pamper Me Pink.

The 13th annual event is a social gathering and educational experience in one, focusing on women’s health and the importance of self-care, both in the form of regular breast exams and more enjoyable “pampering.”

“Our goal is to educate the community and showcase our commitment to women’s health by hosting a fun, lively event for those who are affected by breast cancer, supporting a loved one with breast cancer or simply want more information on screenings, diagnosis and treatment,” said Jeff Hetmanski, president and chief operating officer of Novant Health UVA Health System Culpeper Medical Center.

Proceeds from the evening will benefit the Pamper Me Pink Mammography Fund, which provides financial assistance to women and men in need of mammograms or follow-up screenings.

Hetmanski praised the foresight of Clark who actually started Pamper Me Pink 15 years ago inside Pepperberries and it has since grown to become a community staple.

“It’s grown substantially over the years and Pink wouldn’t be what it is without Sharon Clark and her energy,” he said.

Clark served as the master of ceremonies, introducing Culpeper singer and winner of the 2018 Culpeper Has Talent Kate Hohman, dancing along to her songs, conducting interviews and keeping a positive attitude flowing through the room while discussing a serious topic - breast cancer.

Clark sat down with Melissa Jenkins-Mills, RN, BSN, Breast Care Navigator, Novant Health UVA Health System Culpeper Medical Center, to explain exactly what she does in the hospital.

Cancer surivor Mary Apperson, who is also a nurse at Novant Health UVA Health System Culpeper Medical Center, comforts fellow survivor Lynn Nelson during Pamper Me Pink Tuesday, while moderator Sharon Clark looks on.

“A breast care navigator is someone holds the hand of a breast patient,” Jenkins-Mills said. “My job is kind of like a party planner, but it’s not always a party you want to be invited to. I touch patients from the first time they come in and it’s abnormal. The radiologists will shoot me the information to give them a call and bring them back.”

She said that sometimes that relationship ends there because nothing is found - that happens 80 percent of the time. The other 20 percent of the time, Jenkins-Mills becomes a rock for the patient navigating them through trying times.

“A couple of years ago, I got a call back and it was the worst feeling I’ve ever had,” Clark recalled.

“I immediately labeled myself and never thought it would be OK, went back for a follow up and I was fine.”

That moment of worry and fear is what Jenkins-Mills is hoping to alleviate.

“That’s the time period, that waiting period to be called back in, you’re anxiety level goes up so high, you need a friend,” Jenkins-Mills said. “They need someone that can talk them off the edge.”

Stressing to them that they are in hands is important.

“We’re going to take good care of you and we’re going to get you through this,” Jenkins-Mills said.

The evening then moved to the most moving portion of the night - the interview with cancer survivors.

Mary Apperson is not only a survivor, but an employee at Culpeper Medical Center as a BSN, RN. That gave her unique insight into her treatments.

“As a nurse, we make wonderful patients,” she said with a laugh, as she recalled her late 2016 diagnosis.

She had not had a mammogram in four years, but she got a call back for a repeat and that’s when they found the cancer. She finished her last radiation treatment in June 2017 and is in remission.

Lynn Nelson was diagnosed in April 2018 after a routine mammogram and was later discovered to have Stage 3c cancer.

“I’m grateful every single day for UVA and Culpeper,” she said.

Selena Rave started having headaches in late 2015 and in March 2017 had a brain scan where she diagnosed with two stage four brain lesions and a lung tumor.

Since then, her brain tumors have shrunk and she said she has had a wonderful experience with all of her care at Culpeper and UVA. Lt. Patricia Wilson was diagnosed in March 2017 and in October of 2017 had a double mastectomy but is now cancer free - “thank God,” she said.

The four shared their inspirational stories of surviving and continuing their lives, with Nelson giving the most succinct way to deal with cancer.

“I dreaded this,” she said. “I

wondered how I’m going to live my life? I decided, I’m going to rock it.”

Rave stressed that cancer doesn’t just affect the patient - it impacts their support team as well.

“This journey is not just for you, but a journey for the whole family,” she said.

Nelson’s positive attitude shined through, as she took a moment to collect herself before sharing what an impact cancer has had on her life.

“I looked at this as an incredible gift,” she said. “What I learned and experienced made my life so much richer.”

While she and the others had amazing support groups, she said she encountered others during her treatment that didn’t have the same experience. She suggested the hospital start a list with names and numbers so others who want to reach out to make a friend and brighten someone’s day can do so.

Brightening someone’s day is what Pamper Me Pink and the mammogram fund is all about, with almost $40,000 in the fund for anyone in the community to get a mammogram - with even more funds donated Tuesday evening.

The Culpeper Wellness Foundation presented a check for $3,000, community member Nancy Cannon donated $2,500, the American Social Works Board donated $2,000 and Union Bank and Pepperberries donated $1,000 each to help keep the fund growing and vital.

Baby Cafe offers safe space for moms

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Baby Cafe is a safe space where breastfeeding mothers can go to share stories, triumphs and have a friendly ear to lean on.

The third Baby Cafe program offered by Novant Health UVA Health System hosted a ribbon cutting with the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce Monday at Raven’s Nest Coffee House in the upstairs meeting room.

The international program is a free resource for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers to get support from International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLC) and to share experiences with other moms.Sessions are held every other Monday from 10 a.m. to noon. Raven’s Nest Coffee House provides space for the Baby Café with free snacks and drinks for program participants.

Ashley Carter, Senior Director of Professional and Support Services - Prince William Medical Center, and a new mom herself, sang the praises of the Baby Cafe.

“It provides breastfeeding support to local communities, free of charge, and we are excited to offer that right here in our organization in Culpeper,” Carter said. “For me personally, being a team member of Novant Health UVA Health System I’m very proud to work for an organization that offers wellness to our community. Baby Cafe was very important, being on maternity leave can be very isolating. Breastfeeding can be very isolating and scary as well. To be able to come to a place where you are talking with other moms is so welcoming.”

Culpeper Mayor Mike Olinger welcomed the group to the chamber and the town by stressing how important breastfeeding is to fighting obesity in our community.

“Baby Cafe is unique in the care provided by Novant Health UVA Health System amd is offered in the convenience of their own neighborhood in a coffee house that is comfortable in an environment where they can share their mutual experience,” Olinger

Baby Café USA, established in 2011, is a national network of free breastfeeding dropins, combining breastfeeding information with a relaxed, informal environment where moms can chat and learn about breastfeeding from skilled practitioners and each other. It is related to Baby Café UK, started in 2000, which currently assists over 100 Baby Cafes worldwide. Mary Laybourne, RN, IBCLC, a lactation consultant at Novant Health UVA Health System Culpeper Medical Center, facilitates the bi-weekly meetings at Raven’s Nest Coffee House.

Irene Karedis Borys, along with her ninemonth old daughter Ellie, attend the meetings on the second and fourth Mondays of the month. She said it has led to a bond between mothers and a natural support group.

“As a new mom it’s just been incredible to have a space to get together with other moms experiencing the same thing,” Karedis Borys said. “The unexpected surprise is the friendships, I never expected coming to a place for some coffee and to ask questions that I’d meet up with people for walks and go to each other’s homes. We text each other at 3 in the morning.”

HISTORY Story of William Grayson: Part 4 In June of 1850 after William Grayson’s second trial, where he was again convicted of murdering David W. Miller and was again sentenced to death by hanging. A second appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals was heard at the June term 1850. It is quite interesting to review the official transcript and opinions of the Appeals Court on the matter.

Excerpts from Reports of Cases in the Supreme Court of Appeals of Virginia, Volume 48, p. 613-619, Virginia Supreme Court of Appeals, publisher D. Bottom, Superintendent of Public Print., 1894 “The facts spread upon the record are in most respects the same as those which appeared on the former trial; and they are stated fully in the report of the case

ZANN’S PLACE Zann Nelson

in 6th Grattan. The only differences in the statement of the evidence are, first, as to the time when the young men left the store on the evening previous to the murder. It was stated on the last trial that two of them remained about fifteen minutes after the others went away; and when they left it was the darkest time of the night, the moon shining brightly all night. Second. The evidence as to the appearance of the prisoner at Huffman's cabin, and his going out with another negro and a white boy, to hunt his spade and shovel, is wholly omitted. Third.

It is proved that the spade and shovel were not, at 12 o'clock, on the day after the murder, in the spot where they were found at 9 o'clock that night; that spot having been examined by some Term of the persons who were searching for them.

Fourth. — The pistol of the deceased, which was taken the night son's of the murder, was found in July or August 1849, Case. when the prisoner was in close custody, near the house of George Jeffries, on the side of the path leading from his

road gate to the house, in a place where it could not have remained long without discovery. Fifth. During the inquest, after the prisoner's appeal to William Wood, he further said that a negro man named Tom, belonging to Woodford Settle, went with him to the store and saw him get the spade and shovel ; and if Tom was brought he would prove it; but the said Tom came and denied it, said that he did not see him get the spade and shovel; that he went with him to the store, but did not go in; that being in a hurry to have a plough sharpened at William Wood's black smith shop, he standing outside of the store, called to the prisoner to make haste, that he was afraid the blacksmith would be gone to bed; to which the prisoner replied, "You go on, I will come on presently;" and that this statement was not contradicted by the prisoner. Sixth.

The Judge certified that he considered the boy Huffman a credible witness, though he thought him mistaken in supposing he saw both the spade and shovel when sent by William Wood to see them at his house. Seventh. After the inquest had been taken and signed, the prisoner was directed to be committed to jail, when it was proposed—the certificate of facts

says—by a gentleman present, as a means of finding out where the shovel and spade were to be found, that the prisoner should have his hands put into a vice, and by torture compelled to confess. His hands were put into a vice and the force of the screw applied; but he persisted in the statement that he had before made, that he was drunk, had lost his spade and shovel, and did not know where they were.

The evidence on the second trial is somewhat different from the evidence on the first trial, but this difference is favourable to the accused; and after examining the testimony anew, we arc again unanimously of opinion, that it is wholly insufficient to sustain the verdict and Term, judgment.”

The judgment of the lower court was again reversed and a third trial ordered.

William Grayson remains in the Culpeper County jail. Stay tuned for the rest of William Grayson's saga.

Until next week, be well..

Deadwood Trail benefits annual Santa Cop program

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer The Culpeper County Sheriff ’s Office is getting spooky for a good cause.

The CCSO’s Deadwood Trail - a Haunted Forest serves as the primary fundraiser for the annual Santa Cop program - and continues Oct. 26, 27 and Nov. 2 at 8367 Sperryville Pike.

“The whole purpose of Deadwood Trail is that it’s the main fundraiser for our Santa Cop Christmas program,” Deputy Mike Jenkins, project manager for the haunted trail said.. “That provides us with the money to sponsor 100 less fortunate families.”

The Santa Cop program provides gifts to less fortunate families, the families are invited to a private location for breakfast where Santa passes out the presents to be opened on Christmas.

They are also provided a Christmas dinner.

Jenkins said the goal is to raise $10,000, which they hit last year and are on pace to hit this year.

“We’ve had a good opening weekend and we have another one

What: Deadwood Trail Haunted Forest When: Oct. 26, 27, Nov. 2 Where: 8367 Sperryville Pike, Culpeper Why: Culpeper County Sheriff’s Office fundraiser for the annual Santa Cop Program coming as long as weather permits,” Jenkins said.

They’ll be open on Friday and Saturday this weekend and then the Friday after Halloween.

“The comments have been that it is better than last year,” Jenkins said. “All of our customers that came last year were raving about it.”

They’ve changed a couple of scenes from last year, without giving much away, changed the maze in the barn, added a theatre room and have had a multitude of volunteers come forward to help.

According to Jenkins, they have 12 adults volunteering each night and have had teens from their cadet program as well as middle school and high school students along with teachers - volunteer.

“The people that were new this year, that many of them that participated one night they asked to come back and volunteer more,”

Jenkins said.

Jenkins said with the CCSO running the haunted trail, visitors can feel safe while still expecting a scare. While it can be family friendly, Jenkins said that younger family members may find it too frightening. He recommended ages 12 and up for the haunted trail.

“We’re intending it to be scary,” Jenkins said. “By family friendly, we mean everyone can come out and not have any concerns.”

The trip starts with a trip

through a dilapidated barn, which empties into start of the trail that includes 10 stations of horror.

Funnel cakes, kettle corn, Blue Ridge Canteen, Captain Corbins and Buffalo Wild Wings will be on hand nightly and the Salem Volunteer Fire Department will also be assisting.

Ticket sales will begin nightly at 6:30 p.m. and doors will open (with a creak) at 7 p.m. $10 per person admission; $2 per person entry to the grounds only; free parking.

Disney’s 'Beauty and the Beast' roars on For many years of reviewing regional theatre, I have looked around the audience with growing concern at the many grey and balding heads. Where, I asked myself, in this age of Netflix, YouTube, video games, and movie theatres with reclining chairs will the next generation of live theatre patrons come from?

Now I have an answer.

Riverside’s promotion of “Beauty and the Beast” is clear that this is the Disney version. Unlike the haunting 1946 Jean Cocteau movie, this is based on a cartoon - a cartoon that was massively popular, won an Academy Award nomination and a Golden Globe, and evolved into the Broadway musical that ran for over thirteen years. The “Beast” has been roaming the country ever since, and on Saturday night, found a theatre filled with young people and their families. Perhaps this experience will become the treasured memory that will have them returning to live theatre as adults.

Nicki Elledge stars as Belle in Riverside Center for the Performing Arts' production of Disney's 'Beauty and the Beast.'

Artistic director, Patrick A’Hearn emphasizes the fairy tale heritage of this story by opening with the opening of a book. Characters, music, lights and color spill on to the stage to tell this very old and enchanting story.

Now I’m going to say up front that adults playing cartoons isn’t my cup of tea. The Disney brand isn’t known for subtle shadings and the deadly sins are rarely worse than vanity and pride.

What Disney’s cartoons come-to-life

lack is the sense of discovery that more sophisticated audiences may seek, but if you can live without that, you’ll be happy in this. That’s because, given the nature of this ‘beast’, the most important elements are done right.

Set in JD Madsen’s deliciously detailed scene design, A’Hearn’s staging ebbs and flows with organic rhythms. The opening darkness of the spell which transforms the arrogant young man into a beast shifts smoothly

to the simple villagers and “silly girls” who dance Stephanie Wood’s vigorous choreography to the live orchestra of Leigh Delano.

Belle (Nicki Elledge) and her father, Maurice (in a warm portrayal by Robert Beard) display a personal and vocal harmony in “No Matter What”. Miss Elledge has the kind of clear musical theatre soprano that distinguishes all of the indistinguishable Disney heroines – Snow White, Cinderella, etc. – and brings a vivacious spin to the virtuous Belle. Somehow, she is the only village girl who can resist Gaston (Kevin Cleary). How is it possible?

That fine booming voice details his many charms in “Gaston” (a number reminiscent of Lancelot’s “C’est Moi”) and all the villagers agree. Perhaps it’s his over-caffeinated sidekick, Lefou, (Zachary Bullock) but no matter. The Beast is waiting.

Wyn Delano captures the pathos of the Beast’s situation in the songs “How Long Must This Go On? and “If I Can’t Love Her”, but I object to the sustained roaring which leaves little room for nuance. His gradual Act II transformation as he falls in love with Belle lifts some of that monochromatic affect, and his eventual return to humanity makes a gratifying denouement.

Cartoon or not, the company of enchanted household items puts on a dazzling revue in the spirited “Be Our Guest” and once more, in the hour of release from enchantment in “Human Again.” All of these characters are a delight, but for sheer ‘watchability’ there’s the motherly teapot, Mrs. Potts (Sherri Edelen), and Lumiere, the charming French candelabra (Rj Pavel) who carries a torch for Babette, (Alona Arafino) the feather duster. Andrea Kahane is properly over the top as Madame De La Grand Bouche, the opera singer turned wardrobe.

Kudos to costume designer Kyna Chilcot for these demanding adaptations.

“Beauty and the Beast” with “Disney” in front of the name is a kind of truth in advertising. With that said, Riverside has done an admirable job of recreating the experience of Disney’s Broadway musical version to this beautiful and timeless tale. If that’s your cup of tea, you’re in for a treat.

OCT. 25 FILM •“Homicidal” (Columbia, 1961)The horror films produced and directed by William Castle were often more famous for their promotional gimmicks than their effectiveness as movies. This one was typical of Castle's carnival barker approach with its tagline - "The picture with a Fright Break." Starring Glenn Corbett, Patricia Breslin and Joan Marshall (credited as Jean Arless) in a dual role, the plot is a variation on the old-dark-housewith-a-family-secret, beginning with a brutal stabbing murder of a justice of the peace. Film writer Jeff Stafford opines “’Homicidal’ is a schlock masterpiece, clumsily directed by Castle on cheap sets with crudely

staged shock effects that only add to the film's unpretentious sense of fun.”

FILM •“The Bride of Frankenstein” (Universal, 1935) Director James Whale took his success with "Frankenstein," added humor and thus created a cinematic hybrid that perplexed audiences at first glance but captivated them by picture's end. Joined eventually by a mate (Elsa Lanchester), the Frankenstein monster (Boris Karloff reprising his role and investing the character with emotional subtlety) evolves into a touchingly sympathetic character as he gradually becomes more human.

FILM • “The Dawn Patrol” (First National, 1930) Richard Barthelmess and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. star as two ace pilots in a Royal Flying Corps squadron dealing with the stress of combat in France during World War I. John Monk Saunders’ Oscar-winning story was directed by Howard Hawks, a former World War I flight instructor, who flew in the film as a German pilot in an uncredited role. When the 1938 remake directed by Edmund Goulding and starring Errol Flynn was released, the 1930 film was retitled “Flight Commander.” Many of the flying sequences from the 1930 film, expertly shot by Ernest Haller, were edited verbatim into the 1938 movie as well as the 1940 film, “British Intelligence.”

FILM • “Wings” (Paramount,

1927) Dazzling aerobatic dogfights mark "Wings" as one of the last epics of the silent era and the first winner of the Oscar for what would become known as Best Picture. William Wellman, a former World War I pilot, directed John Monk Saunders' story of two childhood friends (Charles ‘Buddy’ Rogers and Richard Arlen) and the women who love them ("It Girl" Clara Bow and Jobyna Ralston). Short on story but long on action, the film employed a reported 17 assistant cameramen to choreograph its extended flying sequences and hundreds of Army extras, giving many in the audience the closest glimpse of flight that they would ever experience. “Wings” was included in the National Film Registry in 1997.Live musical accompaniment will be provided by Andrew Simpson.

Digital presentation, 144 min. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken.

FILM • “Paths of Glory” (United Artists, 1957) Based on Humphrey Cobb's novel about three French soldiers, portrayed on film by, Ralph Meeker, Timothy Carey and Joe Turkel, on trial for cowardice during World War I, the film established Stanley Kubrick as an influential director. Adapted by Kubrick, Calder Willingham, and Jim Thompson, the screenplay chillingly spotlights the arrogance and incompetence of military leaders, three of which are portrayed by Adolphe Menjou, George Macready, and Wayne Morris. Though

decidedly antiwar, the film does not espouse pacifism, exemplifying this contradiction in the character passionately portrayed by Kirk Douglas as the officer defending the unjustly charged soldiers. Added to the National Film Registry in 1992. Digital presentation, 88 min. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken.

FILM • “I Walked with a Zombie” (RKO, 1943) Producer Val Lewton and director Jacques Tourneur created this atmospheric chiller on a low budget, utilizing limited sets and only a handful of extras. Frances Dee plays a nurse who comes to a tropical island to treat the wife of a sugar plantation owner (Tom Conway) who suffers from an unexplained mental paralysis. She soon discovers skeletons in the family closet and local voodoo rituals and legends that cannot be ignored. The mesmerizing story is loosely adapted from Charlotte Brontë's “Jane Eyre.”

Screenwriter Ardel Wray recalled that before filming "We were all plunged into research on Haitian voodoo culture. Val (Lewton) was addictive researcher, drawing out of it the overall feel, mood, and quality he wanted, as well as details for actual production.

He even found some genuine voodoo musicians for the film.” 35mm film print produced by the Library of Congress Film Preservation lab in 2000. 69 min. Free, at the Library of Congress

FILM • “Dogfight” (Warner Bros., 1991 – Rated R*) Set in San Francisco in 1963, this original and thought-provoking drama chronicles the brief relationship between a young Marine (River Phoenix) who is about to be shipped out to Vietnam and the rather plain aspiring folk singer (Lili Taylor) who teaches him a few important lessons about life and the treatment of women.

Presented as part of a series of films from contemporary women directors from the 1970s to the present, this is the second feature film directed by Nancy Savoca, who also directed “True Love” (1989), “Household Saints” (1993) and “Union Square” (2011).

VIEWS Where was the dignity?

When we saw the Me Too movement explode in the last year I was skeptical, but support it.

My skepticism stemmed from a presumption of guilt applied to the accused men as this movement gained momentum. If someone was accused of a wrong-doing, the media supported the concept that the party was guilty and needed to prove they were innocent. I was also worried that this movement would be weaponized into destroying people's careers out of spite or politics.

Adding to this, anyone suggesting otherwise is immediately labeled a sexist.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Caroline Family YMCA has improved the community

We, the Board of Directors of the Caroline Family YMCA, are pleased to have the opportunity to respond to recent comments regarding our “Y” and inform the residents of Culpeper of the many great things the YMCA does.

In the less than five years the Caroline Family YMCA has been open, it has positively improved the lives of many of our County families and youth and has been an integral part of the Caroline community.

As members of the Board of Directors, we are all volunteers who are committed to improving the lives of the citizens of Caroline County with three areas of focus; Heathy Living, Youth Development, and Social Responsibility.

The YMCA is committed to offering everyone a Y experience. We are a membership based not-for-profit, however, our membership rates are priced by on an income-based scale. For those individuals and families who are more financially challenged, the YMCA can qualify them and reduce the cost for both membership and programs. In 2017, the Caroline YMCA provided over $67,000 of financial aid so citizens of the county could make use of the YMCA facility and programs. In 2018, the Caroline YMCA has currently awarded $60,000 of financial aid and is on track to exceed $79,000 by the end of the current year.

The Caroline Family YMCA has a myriad of programs that reflect our Core values.

Fast forward to Judge Kavanaugh and the last minute surprise announcement that, in his youth, he may have unwantedly groped a drunken underage girl…some 36 years ago. The Trump-loathing media loved it because it played to their narrative that Trump hates women and that anyone he put forward as a candidate was a bad person.

Senators had no problem tossing the career of a federal judge under the bus, knowing he would always be labeled forever as "accused sexual assaulter."

The Democrats in the Senate had leveraged the Me Too movement to crush two people for one purpose - to ultimately attack President Trump.

Don't kid yourself, this has all been about President Trump. The Democrats, the Party of "No!" had said anyone he put forward would be voted down as being unqualified - simply because the

President nominated them. Members of the Judiciary Committee announced the judge was unqualified hours after he was announced. If the President had nominated Jesus to the Supreme Court, the Democrats would have brought up his relationship with a prostitute.

When it was clear that they had not succeeded in finding some smoking gun in the judge's past, they high-jacked the Me Too movement to spring a lastditch effort to scuttle his nomination.

Mrs. Ford, his accuser, may or may not have had something happen to her in her past that emotionally scarred her.

Per the FBI, there was not a shred of confirmation of such an event. While she decried the attention the media poured onto her, it was her own actions of going to the Washington Post and revealing her identity that caused that attention.

Sadly, she and her family were mere collateral damage in the Democrat's attacks on the judge.

This was not a healthy discussion about women's rights - it was a smear

campaign targeting Judge Kavanaugh, the Republicans and mostly, the President. Many Americans saw it for what it was. The Democrats believe that this will rally women to vote for them in the mid-term elections. This was political grandstanding at its worst.

Sadly, as a result of their idiocy, good men and women will turn down future presidential appointments out of fear that their childhood backgrounds will be dredged up and twisted to be used against them.

From the daily circus of the hearings to paid protestors confronting senators in their elevator; we all saw to what extremes one political party was willing to stoop to sabotage the other. The withholding of Mrs. Ford's letter until after the hearings was simply one act in a horrible political drama deliberately willing to ruin people's reputations.

Judge Kavanaugh railed against the left for this equivalent of a Salem Witch ➤ See Pardoe, Page 21

We are extremely proud of our programs and what we do for Caroline County residents. Since we opened our doors, we have developed a wide range of affordable programs for our members and non- members alike; some of which include: Partner with The Caroline County Schools providing: Summer learning loss program: An Achievement Gap Signature Program with the objective of substantially increasing our Movement’s capacity to support the cognitive, physical, and socialemotional development of low-income children.

Participation was from 1st and 2nd graders from Caroline Elementary Schools. The Y has helped 60 children in this program since inception.

Bright Beginnings: YMCA Bright Beginnings is a community outreach program that provides children in need with the new clothes and school supplies to start the school year with confidence and excitement. Since we have started the program opened we have helped 145 children through this program.

Second Grade Learn to Swim Program: Providing all 2nd grade elementary students in Caroline County, free swim lessons. In 2017/18 school year, we have provided this program to 360 children.

Membership: Provided free memberships to first year teachers and all Freshman Caroline County Students.

High School Swim Team. Provides a location for the High School Swim Team to practice and to have Swim Meets. We have offered this since we opened in 2014.

The first 2 years the school did not have enough students to sport a team, so they were offered the space as a club. Due to the Y’s developmental swim programs the high school team has had a growing interest in swimming as a sport.

• Provided Leadership/Team Training for the CCPS for the administration and the Lewis and Clark Elementary School teachers.

• Summer Feeding Program feeds over 1000 kids every summer.

Participated with the Fredericksburg Area Food Bank providing a location for feeding.

• Built a public Playground for the community to use • Red Cross Location for Blood Donations • Food Donation Drop off point • Coat and Shoe drives • Provide classes for development: CPR and First Aid, Lifeguarding Courses, etc.

• Provide programs for disabled children and adults in our community.

Partner with the Rappahannock Area Community Services Board providing a place to hold their programs.

Provide Wellness Programs: • Therapeutic Movement classes for seniors • Blood Pressure self-monitoring program • Arthritis Programs Youth Programs: • Preschool • Before and After Care in each of the County Elementary Schools • Teen Leaders club startup in 2019 • Summer Swim Team as part of

the Rappahannock Area Swim League (ORCAS) • Year round swim team as part of the Richmond YMCA Swim League (Krakens) • Youth Soccer • Youth Gymnastics • Karate • Home School Fitness We feel Culpeper could be: • Just like the hundreds of Caroline school children who have received free swim lessons, • Just like the Caroline High School Swim Team who calls the Caroline YMCA “Home”, • Just like the Caroline County children who play on our community playground, • Just like the Youth of Caroline, who benefit from one of our many programs designed to help the youth in our entire county, The Caroline Family YMCA is strong and growing stronger every day!

Help your youth, help your community, support your Y! We encourage interested persons to visit our facility and speak with us, at any time, for a tour our facility. We can also come and speak to any interested organization in person about our programs.

For further information, contact Paul Gehring at pgehring@family-ymca.org.

In closing, we encourage Culpeper residents to Vote Yes for the proposed YMCA. Caroline Family YMCA Board of Directors

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Community center improves quality of life

A non-political group of varied Culpeper citizens supporting fiscally sound Quality of Life initiatives in Culpeper. The Community Center is within the parameters of our fiscal sound fiscal policy. Be assured we have followed this project from it’s birth and shall continue to it’s successful conclusion. This for your protection as tax payers and users of Quality of Life facilities. We invite you to fact check us.

Our every statement is doubled checked for validated accuracy.

We find ourselves in an embarrassing position. Though we started tracking Question 3 on the ballot from day one, our understanding has been the vote would be used as a measure of the citizens desire to build or not build a Community Recreation Center.

A document from Culpeper County titled” BALLOT & REFERENDUM QUESTION INFORMATION” and so far distributed with Absentee Ballots is clear “no matter the outcome of the ballot vote the county is not obligated to construct, or not construct a community recreation center” likewise, the county may use alternative methods of paying for this project. You, the public, are being asked to approve their using bonds to pay should they so elect. This document may only be found the county registrar’s web site. We have consistently supported this approach when it is cost effective. In this case we conclude it is.

Please understand that what follows pertains only to those who are flooding social media with fact-less

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Congressman Brat sees labels, not people Rep Brat’s recent tone-deaf comments at the Chesterfield jail underscore that as the Tea Party Spokesman for the 7th District he only sees labels, not people.

information. We know and respect some who oppose due to what we perceive as their misplaced belief Question # 3 will hurt the bottom line of well respected not-for-profit organizations.

We only address those who urge you to oppose question # 3 for political motivations supported by jargon and broad sweeping statements. Related to bloating and inefficiency in the local county government. For example, they favor fully funding Fire and Rescue and Law Enforcement. However, where is their plan to achieve this? For example, the volunteer fire and rescue asks for funds and then distributes them equally among the companies. Not a plan protecting your tax dollars. They might consider a budget request supported by fact based need. Not a difficult concept for those familiar with zero based budgeting. Supporting their request with, as example, a detailed plan for equipment replacement based on usage and age. Unfortunately, it is clear they, the politicians, have no concept of good management beyond political jargon.

They choose broad political rhetoric weak debate technique.

Dr. Neviaser’s column in the last edition of the Culpeper Times trotted out more labels while also claiming Brat’s vote for the Republican tax bill was good for the economy.

But in fact it will blow a $1.5 trillion dollar hole in the budget.

The government debt is rising as we speak. Now when President Reagan increased the debt, at least he bought something – more equipment for the U.S. military.

The bill Brat supported bought nothing. It gave tax revenue back to corporations and the 1%. This inequity explains why our industrial

allegations do not equate to proof. None of Ms. Ford's friends remembered any aspect of her allegations.

The FBI investigation/stalling tactic that the Democrats insisted upon, changed none of their minds about Judge Kavanaugh because it was never about him - it was about the moronic "resist" movement.

This whole ugly partisan political assassination attempt has done nothing to advance the Me Too movement, if anything, it is harmed it.

Worse it is set the stage for the next

over clear analysis. Again, this is not a political issue, it is a quality of life issue.

We are amazed that respected intelligent people join forces with such light weights. They, the politicians, clearly mislead you and political types say “way to go”. Not if you truly care about your tax dollars. After all, 6 cents ($1.8 million) of your tax assessment goes to fire and rescue. They then distribute it in this easy, however, poor management approach. Understand, the responsive professional fire and rescue service received is appreciated. Some of us are alive because of them.

From 1997 to the present the top 10% received all of the U.S. income growth and the bottom 90% received nothing.

By the way, where is your tax money Brat gave to the top corporations going?

The financial news is the companies are recycling it through the stock market. After all, CEOs receive bonuses if the stock price increases. Do consider that when you go to the polls this November.

Mom-and-pop shops ramp-up hiring for the holidays L

abor Day is behind us, the kids are back in class, and the shelves are already stocked with oversized bags of Halloween candy.

That means consumers will soon be inundated with advertisements for holiday sales, and retailers are already staffing up to serve the hordes of holiday shoppers.

While shoppers will rack up most of their credit card charges online and at the big box stores this season, small and medium-sized businesses (SMBs) will still enjoy a major boost to their bottom line. In fact, the National Retail Federation (NRF) estimates 20 percent to 40 percent of all SMB retail sales occur in the last two months of the year, and in 2016 Deloitte reported that roughly 40 percent of consumers planned to do their holiday shopping at local retailers.

It’s still too early for most analysts to gauge how SMBs will fare this holiday sea-

son compared to the mass merchants, but since we deal in real-time data at ZipRecruiter, we’ve got the leading indicators that show exactly how SMBs are feeling about the holiday high season. According to the number of job openings posted to our site by SMB retailers in September, they’re feeling pretty bullish this year. A sentiment that is apparently not shared by their gargantuan competitors.

MOM AND POPS OUT-STAFF THE MASS MERCHANTS

In 2015, two years before The Atlantic famously reported on “the great retail apocalypse of 2017” following a string of major retailers going out of business, job openings at large organizations (500+ employees) posted to ZipRecruiter.com outnumbered small retail openings 2-to1. Today, not only have SMBs closed that gap, they’ve eclipsed the hiring numbers of large organizations, with nearly 30 per-

cent more job openings posted to ZipRecruiter in September than their big-box counterparts.

Both SMBs and large companies have shown holiday season hiring bumps from August through October going back to 2015. But this year is different. While seasonal retail jobs at SMBs continued their upward trend in August, falling incrementally in September, openings at large companies declined in August and dropped dramatically in September. Local businesses may actually be better insulated against the threat of ecommerce than one might expect.

MORE SMB JOBS, FEWER EMPLOYEES

Anticipating strong consumer demand this holiday season makes sense given the historically low unemployment rate. The tight job market is a good reason to expect soaring sales, but it also means employers are fighting over a much smaller

pool of applicants than in years past.

According to the ZipRecruiter Opportunity Index, which measures the ratio of job openings to applicants, there was one applicant for every retail job opening this September. In September of 2017, there were three applicants chasing every available retail opening. This year there are not only thousands more available jobs, there are also far fewer applicants.

A few retail giants, such as Kohl’s and J.C. Penny, have already announced plans to offer generous employee discounts, retention bonuses, and additional hours hoping to snag the few remaining available workers looking for a seasonal gig.

SMBs have an edge of their own, given our research that shows job seekers generally prefer to work for SMBs. But the motivators that draw job seekers to smaller companies, like being able to see their impact on the company and enjoy a closeknit culture, are likely more pronounced in individuals looking to join an organization for the long term, and might not be as relevant to seasonal job seekers.

Ultimately, cash is always king, especially when it comes to temporary and seasonal work. If SMBs want to be successful with filling their hiring needs, they are going to have to budget for bonuses and plan to offer more than what they are used to shelling out for seasonal staff.

Automation isn’t killing retail jobs, just changing them T

here was a time when people chose to use the self-scan checkouts at the grocery store because there was no line. Now the automated lines can be just as long as the old school version. Whether it’s because we’ve become accustomed to scanning our own groceries, or it’s because we just don’t want to interact with other human beings, consumers are clearly embracing the new automated retail world.

Today, consumers are pre-paying for lattes from their phones, ordering Big Macs from four-foot tall touch screens and Amazon is actually testing out a completely automated grocery store that utilizes an ‘all-seeing eye’ to scan items in your grocery cart and bill your credit card as you walk out the door.

But does that mean retail jobs are

a thing of the past? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, retail jobs haven’t begun to evaporate quite yet.

With 15.9M jobs as of August 2018, the retail industry continues to grow, in spite of the fact that self-scanning checkouts have been in use for nearly two decades. What is changing, however, are job descriptions. According to ZipRecruiter data, retail and customer service job descriptions have begun to evolve since the introduction of automated checkouts.

CHANGING SKILLS REQUIREMENTS IN RETAIL’S NEW AGE

We looked at a sample of half a million retail and customer service job descriptions posted to ZipRecruiter.com over the last two years to find out if skill requirements have changed as a result of the automation revolution. Among the

top twenty skills required by employers, cashiering skills dropped steadily in importance throughout the latter half of 2017, and actually disappeared entirely

by February 2018.

There was, however, one skill that has become increasingly important in these careers, and that is customer relationship management. In February of 2018 (the time when cashiering skills dropped from the list), customer relationship management skills ranked eighteenth out of the twenty skills mentioned most often in retail job descriptions. As of this August, customer relationship management skills ranked as the third most important on our list behind customer service and communication skills—both consistently the most commonly mentioned skills in nearly every job description, even outside of

service-based industries.

INCREASED AUTOMATION, BETTER CONSUMER RELATIONS

We’re still not convinced automation will kill retail industry jobs. Right now it just seems to be changing them.

As more automation gets introduced into the consumer experience it will become more important for service representatives to engage with customers.

Nobody wants to see the entire marketplace become a post-apocalyptic nightmare devoid of emotion altogether.

The best retailers will figure out how to optimize this new-found bandwidth among their employees who no longer have to work the cash register. And the best candidates will come equipped to their next retail job with excellent people skills. (Jeffery Marino/ZipRecruiter)

Warehouses are stocked with workers but can they deliver?

T

ransportation and Warehousing is an industry divided. As ecommerce retailers and logistics companies ramp up hiring for the holiday shopping season, the disconnect between warehouse and transportation jobs is perhaps more starkly defined than ever.

Put simply, storage and distribution centers are having zero trouble finding willing workers to fill open roles, even with today’s ridiculously low unemployment. Transportation companies, on the other hand, are desperate to fill empty driver’s seats to meet the delivery demands of one of the most prosperous consumer bases in history.

It’s hard not to think that the mismatch between warehouse workers and the drivers transporting the goods has something to do with artificial intelligence (AI). After all, autonomous vehicles in the form of

self-driving forklifts and drones already have a major presence in most large-scale warehouse operations. But self-driving cars, especially tractor trailers, have yet to reach the level of autonomy necessary to replace the old-fashioned trucker.

DRIVERS WANTED

Job openings along every stop of the way, from long-haul truck drivers to delivery drivers, have steadily increased over the past several years, thanks to the rise of ecommerce. But the simmering labor shortage has reached a boiling point as the holiday season draws near.

Truck Driver openings posted to ZipRecruiter in August 2017 increased 85 percent year over year, which is obviously phenomenal growth. However, the number of job seekers applying for Truck Driver roles back then increased 100 percent over the same period. So, despite the surge in openings last August, there were

WAREHOUSE WORKERS APLENTY

A major reason why logistics companies are in such dire need of drivers is because the facilities warehousing consumer goods are staffed up and ready to ship.

Just as in all “declining� industries, such as retail and manufacturing, warehouse

jobs are still being added each month, thanks to a strong economy and robust consumer spending. However, there are far more applicants than openings, which means most storage and distribution centers will not suffer from the historically tight labor market this season.

Warehouse jobs posted to ZipRecruiter increased a healthy 75 percent year over year in August, and showed a marked seasonal bump as well, with openings up 20 percent since July. Notwithstanding the many new warehouse jobs added in August, there were still four applicants competing for every job. To put that in perspective, nearly a quarter of a million job seekers competed over about 50,000 active jobs on ZipRecruiter in August.

still fewer Truck Driver jobs available than applicants, with about two job seekers chasing every Truck Driver job.

The data for this year tells a very different story. Truck Driver openings continued to increase at an impressive clip, up 130 percent year over year in August, and jumping 17 percent since July. While demand continues to surge, the number of applicants has essentially remained unchanged since a year ago, leaving 1.5 job openings for every applicant—an alarmingly low supply of drivers as we approach a potentially record-breaking holiday shopping season.

front of the AI revolution, having already implemented drone technology and giant robotic arms to perform many of the logistical tasks at their distribution centers, they are operating at such an enormous scale that they still need thousands of humans to perform the tasks for which robots aren’t equipped.

News recently broke that Amazon is already hiring warehouse staff for their new, 21,000 square-foot distribution center in Baton Rouge, which is expected to be up and running in 2019.

Warehouse jobs grew 43 percent year over year in rural North Carolina, where

Amazon plans to build a new distribution facility and is set to hire 1,500 employees.

Warehouse openings also spiked 21 percent over last year in Provo, Utah, which is just outside of Salt Lake City, where Amazon has begun hiring for a new distribution center slated to open by the end of the year.

But the droves of applicants hoping to grab warehouse work this season can’t all rely on Amazon for a job. Given the labor shortage in transportation, and demand for customer service reps at brick and mortar retail establishments, there’s no reason why they should be left out in the cold.

Building strong rural and urban communities “Good ruralism and good urbanism go hand in hand,” said Chris Miller, President of The Piedmont Environmental Council. “Today is about providing residents and local elected officials with great examples that can be applied within our communities” Drawing over 150 attendees, PEC held their Annual Meeting on October 21 at historic Castle Hill Farm in Keswick. First Lady of Virginia Pamela Northam was in attendance and spoke about the importance of conserving lands in the state.

“Land conservation has long been a priority of the commonwealth, and for good reason.

Conserving land is how we protect and honor Virginia's rich history, environment and scenic beauty, and we would not be nearly as effective at conserving lands without the tireless, courageous work of our land trusts partners across the state,” said Northam.

Following the First Lady’s remarks, keynote speaker Charles Marohn, President and Founder of Strong Towns, delivered the keynote address.

Marohn began by stating, “I’m going to frame my talk by saying I’m not a preservationist.

I’m not a conservationist. I’m not someone who comes to this conversation through that door. I have learned there are a lot of commonalities, a lot of common ground and there are a lot of things we can work on together.”

A trained engineer and planner, Marohn said his non-profit, Strong Towns, has a mission to support a model of development that allows America's cities, towns and neighborhoods to become financially strong and resilient.

“Why can we find millions of dollars to expand a highway and we can’t find $500 to put in a crosswalk?” asked Marhon.

“Our cities are dripping with investment opportunities but they do not look like the invest-

Mexican Restaurant

ment opportunities that we have grown accustomed to.

“Our investments today are small and we have become so obsessed with chasing the dollar out on the edge that we have ignored and missed the pennies, nickels and dimes that are laying there waiting for us to pick them up. And if we can reorient ourselves to slow down, recognize these gaps, recognize these investment opportunities, recognize where people are struggling in our communities and the little things it would take to address those struggles, not only can we put ourselves in a position to make investments that are going to benefit our cities, help us be more financially productive, make us strong and resilient again, but we can do it in a way where we actually improve people’s lives.”

The day also included a variety of workshops, one of which allowed guests to tour the mid-18th century home on the Castle Hill Farm property, which is at the center of the Southwest Mountains Rural Historic District and protected with a conservation easement.

“PEC tries to engage, educate and empower people, so residents and local officials have the tools to go forward and do things within their communities,” said Miller. “Today, we presented examples to help enhance quality of life through historic preservation, park and greenway improvements, land conservation, energy systems, urban planning, and fiscal policy for smart growth.”

The day closed with recognition of Gordonsville Mayor Robert Coiner for his leadership in the restoration, redevelopment and improvement of urban parks and greenways in Gordonsville. PEC worked with local residents and the University of Virginia School of Architecture to improve access and connectivity within the town and link it to open space resources in the Madison Barbour Rural Historic District.
