Out the door at last!

CALLY TALES

I think I mentioned my two earlier attempts to bolt and explore the great outdoors. Both were short-lived and unfruitful.

Forgetting to tuck my tail betrayed me in my first attempt, and the Mystery Cat stood me up in my second attempt and made me feel like chopped liver.

Then came my third escape. I was meandering around the storeroom one morning looking for a sunny spot to snooze when I smelled fresh air and began investigating. The door was open a crack. I threw my weight against it, and it opened wider! The great outdoors was suddenly mine. I leaped like a rabbit in a carrot patch – exploring and sniffing until I had my fill and was ready to go back inside for lunch and a nap. But I couldn’t find the open door. Where was it?

The wind had closed it –tight – and there was no way back inside.

Surely my Widow would come looking for me. Then I noticed. No car in the driveway. She was not at home. Yikes!

How long could she be gone? Suddenly being on my own in the great outdoors was scary.

As I wandered about, I saw something strange near the backyard shed. It looked like bones and a hunk of fur. Could it be the remains of the Mystery Cat? Come to think of it, he hadn’t come calling in a long while.

I remembered how the security light went on at night, and how my Widow asked if I thought that happened for no reason. She suggested it might mean there were strange animals on the prowl, hungry for cat thigh.

Double yikes.

Hours passed and nothing changed. I told myself she would be

Cally

home soon and find me missing. My stomach said it was long past lunch time. I nibbled some grass. Ugh. It wasn’t very filling. I thought of napping, but under the circumstances a nap might make me easy prey for one of those strange animals that tripped the security light. Best to keep busy and vigilant. Time passed – very slowly.

I finally heard a car in the driveway. Since I wasn’t inside at the door as usual, she began calling my name. I scooted over to the storeroom door where I could be easily spotted.

She usually checks the storeroom when she can’t find me anywhere else.

She did not disappoint. Our eyes met, and I ran for the front door. When she opened it, I didn’t waste a minute getting inside for a grand reunion— and lunch. A late lunch. I think I am cured of my urge to bolt. I have been in the great outdoors, and it’s not so great.

Let’s not dwell on that. Let’s move on to another subject, like Trucker, the most handsome cat I have ever seen. We haven’t met in person, only through pictures because Trucker lives in California and is a friend of a friend. Nevertheless, I am smitten and would consider a cross-country trip just to be in his presence and admire him up close.

I hear Trucker is an independent thinker, like me, only he is older and wiser. He has seen more of the world.

Much more. I think I’ll include him in my next book and maybe some of his California friends. Maybe even a few d-o-g-s if he knows any.

In the meantime, have your staff stop by Reigning Cats and Dogs on Davis Street in Culpeper. My picture is up on their wall of pinup pet photos, and yours can be too. Just ask..

LOCAL NEWS Culpeper stays Red as Republicans dominate election night

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer While Democrats took full control of the state government Tuesday night, Culpeper stayed red.

Republicans won most of the races in Culpeper, with the sheriff, commonwealth’s attorney, treasurer and all state senate and delegate seats being the most prominent.

In the Sheriff’s race, incumbent Scott Jenkins defeated challenger CJ Johnson 55.75 percent to 44.02 percent.

Jenkins will serve his third term as sheriff beginning in January.

“This is the greatest honor I could ever imagine to have this position, and now to have a third term, I can’t thank the citizens and my staff enough,” Jenkins said. “I first thank God and then to the staff, it’s really them - it’s all about what they do to serve the citizens. To the citizens, it’s an enormous honor and I will take the things I heard in the campaign this year and try my best to live up to that and make the office better every day.”

Johnson congratulated Jenkins on his win and thanked his campaign staff, volunteers and his wife and daughter for their support and love.

"It’s been a long year," Johnson said. "It was amazing to meet so many citizens and hear their stories. It was an honor to participate in the process and I’m thankful to those that supported me. I wish the Sheriff’s Office and its deputies the best. Although the Sheriff will implement the policies he sees fit, I hope he will listen to the large portion of citizens that supported some of the issues that our campaign brought up, including more transparency, fiscal responsibility, and availability to the Sheriff."

The other race Culpeper County

Culpeper County Sheriff Scott Jenkins poses with supporters Tuesday night at Pepper's Grill. was keeping a close eye on was House of Delegates 30th District, where Ann Ridgeway was running unopposed.

However, incumbent Republican Nick Freitas was running a writein campaign because he was unable to get his paperwork in to the State Board of Elections prior to deadline.

Despite not being on the ballot, Freitas declared victory after winning 57.89 percent of the vote, compared to Ridgeway’s 42.11 percent.

On Tuesday night at the Culpeper County Republican Committee watch party, Freitas was ecstatic.

“At this point we are 15 points ahead with the only precincts missing being very conservative precincts in Madison County,” Freitas said. “At this point we feel very confident.”

He said it just goes to show what it means to run a grassroots campaign.

“It’s great to have members of the press for three months telling us how incompetent we are and now we just won the biggest write in, in Virginia history. We’re really excited, that’s 60,000 doors knocked. That’s every-

day just out there talking with voters.

It’s just a hard fought ground game.”

In other key Culpeper County races, incumbent Commonwealth's Attorney Paul Walther (R) won with 65.67% against challenger Megan Frederick. Frederick had 34.04 percent of the vote.

The hotly contested four-way race for Culpeper County Treasurer went to Republican candidate Missy Norris White with 46.93 percent of the vote. Denise Whetzel had 31.90 percent, Aaron Mitchell finished with 10.59 percent and Alexa Fritz had 10.29 percent of the vote.

Elected to the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors were Kathy Campbell (East Fairfax), Tom Underwood (Salem), Gary Deal (West Fairfax) and Paul Bates (Catalpa).

Culpeper County Commissioner of the Revenue Terry Yowell ran unopposed and was re-elected with 98 percent of the vote.

Culpeper County School Board results included winners Pat Baker (East Fairfax), Crissy Burnett (West

Fairfax), Barbee Brown (Catalpa) and Anne Luckinbill (Salem).

Elected to Town Council was Frank Reaves, Meaghan Taylor, Jamie Clancey and Keith Brown.

Brown was the only new face elected to council, as incumbent Bobby Ryan and challenger Hank Milans were not elected.

“It’s been a long 10 months, I started early, I knew I had to get my face out there,” Brown said. “I had a motto that I wasn’t going to let everyone outwork me. I just continuously knocked on doors and I give God all the glory.”

In the state races, Del. Mike Webert (R) won the House of Delegates-18 seat with 61 percent of the vote over Laura Galante (D). Bryce Reeves (R) won the State Senate-17 seat with 52.18% of the vote over Amy Laufer (D) and in District 24 Emmett Hanger (R) defeated Annette Hyde (D) 69 percent to 30 percent.

Jill Vogel won the 27th District Senate Seat over Ronnie Ross (D), 65 to 34 percent.

Community rallies around Shiloh Baptist after fire ➤ Saturday night fire destroyed historic church, now money is being raised for a rebuild

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer As Alice Young stood outside the still smoldering remains of Shiloh Baptist Church Tuesday afternoon, she said what she and the congregation was feeling was akin to “losing a family member.”

On Saturday, at approximately 6:14 p.m., a call came in for an industrial fire at Shiloh Baptist Church in Brandy Station.

By the time Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department made it on the scene, flames were already showing through the roof of the 122-year-old church.

More than 45 volunteer firefighters from 13 companies battled the blaze until late Satur-

day, but the church was a total loss.

Now, church, community and business members are working to rebuild the historic church.

Through Tuesday, business leaders have raised $34,500 through contributions from Scott Found of Found & Sons Funeral Home, the Rosson & Troilo family, Steve and Rachel Corbin, K & M Equipment Rentals, Gary and Melissa Deal, The Ole Country Store, Hometech Construction, Michelle Daly, Certified Massage Therapist, Sneaker Thrift and Deli-icious.

Young, the Shiloh Baptist Financial Director, said it’s overwhelming the response from the community.

“It’s been an outpouring of support and love,” Young said.

“Sunday after church we all just gathered here, it was unplanned and we were here for hours. People were stopping by and giving us their condolences. It means a lot, this is just like your second home.”

Estelle Lewis, a longtime member of the congregation and unofficial historian, said the

She was heartbroken when she got the word Saturday that the church was on fire.

“When I saw it, it was like ‘this is not happening,” Lewis said.

“We were devastated. I joined this church when I was 15. It’s overwhelming. We’ve done so much in this church.”

closet and clothes closet, both of which survived the fire. They host a soup day every third Sunday, and have hosted dinners for homeless people.

Now the congregation of 60 to 80 regulars is homeless themselves.

They’ve had offers from many churches and businesses - Found and Sons, the 7th Day Adventist Church in Brandy Station and Mt. Olive Baptist Church - to host their congregation.

Tony Troilo has been friends with many members of the congregation for years, it’s why it was important to him and his family to support their efforts to rebuild.

“It’s a community, it’s all of us in this community,” Troilo said.

Just hours after the fire started, Found started a Go Fund Me page for the Shiloh Baptist Rebuild Project and the business leaders quickly answered the call.

“As a funeral director, we have a special relationship with the church and the congregation,” he said. “I was inclined to help out and I think that’s what I had to do. I hate to lose a piece of history and hopefully this will help with the transitition.”

“Scott had reached out that night to have the service in the

sanctuary of the funeral home,” Troilo said. “I know what our family is going to do, we’re going to stand behind this and drive it and get them a place back up and a place to worship.”

Young and Lewis said the church plans to rebuild, either on the current property or on an acre and a half the church owns just adjacent to where it now sits.

“I don’t want to leave this spot in a sense, but if it’s right over there it’s still close by,” Lewis said.

Caitlin Troilo teared up about seeing the blaze. She was one of the first responders and was injured battling the fire.

“I called my Dad to tell him the church was on fire since he was out of town, while I was on the way to the station,” she said.

“That was just my first thought to him. I got hurt and couldn’t do anything after, I wanted the medics to just wrap me up and keep going, we had a job to do.”

Members of the congregation haven’t been cleared to sort through the rubble yet - as it was still smoldering Tuesday. They have yet to locate the church bell and they don’t know what else may have survived - though at first place it doesn’t appear much was left unscathed.

“We had the most gorgeous stained glass windows,” Lewis said. “The pews were donated by the church members, everything is lost...everything.”

While heartbroken, Young said the congregation is strong in their faith.

“It’s realizing God is still in control,” Young said. “We do mourn, but we do realize the church is inside us as well. It didn’t just stay inside those walls, we had outreach to the communi-

One of my most vivid memories from my youth involves wrestling. I must have been 8, maybe 9, and I was sitting in my living room eating a bowl of Cheerios watching our old big cabinet TV. We had just gotten cable and it was 6:05 on a Saturday night. Suddenly, a large man wearing a ridiculous fur coat showed up on my screen - lisping and gesturing wildly at the TV. Dusty Rhodes was reaching out to his fans and I was ready to reach back.

That started a more than 30-year love affair with the "sport" of professional wrestling. Pro wrestling has had its ups and downs over the years - but I'm a diehard.

So, when MCW Pro Wrestling brought their show "Chaos in Culpeper" to town Saturday night as a fundraiser for Eastern View High School's Boosters - I had to go.

What I found, as former WWE star Melina said, was "family."

The performer, soon to be appearing on the NWA YouTube show “Powerrr,” said she enjoys the intimate connection of a smaller show like MCW’s Chaos in Culpeper.

“It’s because it’s family, I love being able to see fresh new talent - you see someone and you’re like ‘they’re going to be a star someday,” she said. “It just reminds you of where you came from. Everybody loves the same thing.”

She’s been in the wrestling profession for almost 20 years and has been on the biggest stage of them all - having been a WWE Women’s Champion. She took a few years off, but returned because of her love of it - and the family feeling.

She loves visiting towns like Culpeper, and raved about one of the top 10 towns in the country.

“It looks so sweet,” she said. “It’s beautiful, the houses look so cute. It looks like a movie set. But then you turn on Route 666 and I’m like ‘wait a minute.’”

She interacted with fans at the meet and greet, including Zander Gigliotti, a fifth grader at Waverly Lee Elementary School in Madison. The Culpeper native got into wrestling because of his dad Noah, a lifelong wrestling fan.

Zander, a self-admitted Ricochet fan, was excited to meet the stars of MCW. “I like how it’s fighting and how they make the storylines into it,” Gigliotti said.

Zander said he watches the show with his dad every night, it’s a great bonding moment for the father-son duo.

“When he was 3, I was watching Monday Night RAW and Ryback came out, and I didn’t even know he was out there with me and he’s saying ‘feed me more’ on the couch,” Noah said. “I knew he was hooked.”

Brothers Brian James and Ray Ruffner, of Culpeper, have been hooked for years.

Ruffner said he’s been a fan since 1998 ➤ See Chaos, Page 18

Detwiler said she’s excited to portray the iconic character.

“It’s my first big role and it’s definitely a big step, but it’s a lot of fun,” Detwiler said.

Detwiler said she likes the message of Annie.

“I like how I can just give a good message that everything will be better,” Detwiler said.

Miglino said they haven’t figured out how he will achieve the iconic Daddy Warbucks look, but he’s enjoyed the role “I’m really excited and I feel honored to have this role, it’s like one of the main roles,” Miglino said.“The fact I got to play a developing character and that I got to play sort of a father figure.”

Altman said she’s had fun playing the villain.

“It is so fun because Miss Hannigan is kooky and she’s different and it’s fun to go around acting like you wouldn’t, yelling at kids younger than you,” Altman said.

Flemming said having the play at EVHS has helped connect her current students with former Binns students who are now at EVHS. “A lot of my former students that are here at Eastern View are helping to train the Floyd T. Binns kids,” she said.

Flemming is helped by Lakesha Davis, choreographer, Sydney DonGiovanni, assistant director & choreographer and Jenna Mulligan, stage manager.

Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students.

It’s a hard knock life for Floyd T. Binns Middle School students.

Binns’ theatre group will present “Annie, Jr.” Nov. 8 at 7 p.m. and Nov. 9 at 2 and 7 p.m. at Eastern View High School’s Forum.

Based on the popular comic strip and adapted from the Tony Award-winning Best Musical, with a beloved book and score by Tony Award winners, Thomas Meehan, Charles Strouse and Martin Charnin, Annie JR. features everyone’s favorite little redhead in her very first adventure.

Directed by Mary Kidd Flemming, the musical stars Reese Detwiler as Annie, Peter Miglino as Daddy Warbucks, Sidona Altman as Miss Hannigan, Brandon Tyson as Rooster Hannigan, Ava Conway as Grace Ferrell and Jillian Ferlazzo as Lily.

With equal measures of pluck and positivity, little orphan Annie charms everyone's hearts despite a next-to-nothing start in 1930s New York City. Annie is determined to find the parents who abandoned her years ago on the doorstep of an orphanage run by the cruel Miss Hannigan. Annie eventually foils Miss Hannigan's evil machinations, finding a new home and family in billionaire Oliver Warbucks, his personal secretary, Grace Farrell, and a lovable mutt named Sandy.

With plenty of parts to go around, including featured roles as well as ensemble parts for orphans, servants and tourists, Annie JR. is ideal for productions involving different W NO

T R AV E L Completing the Camino does after entering the city—go to the cathedral and get their Compostela.

The cathedral is the first stop for most pilgrims. It is located in a large square with a number of other historic buildings. What a wonderful experience it is to come into the square and see all the happy pilgrims, including a number of familiar faces from my own journey.

The cathedral is beautiful. Completed in 1211, it is the burial spot of James the Apostle. For me, it is the second visit, but it is no less extraordinary the second time around.

The second thing most pilgrims do is go to the Pilgrim’s Office to get their Compostela. The Church issues a certificate to those pilgrims who have walked at least 100 kilometers to Santiago. As one walks the Camino, one collects stamps (ink stamps) from churches, hotels, and restaurants to prove that one has actually walked the Camino. The Pilgrim’s Office reviews your credential with all the stamps and issues a Compostela. The Compostela

The walk into Santiago de Compostela was an amazing experience. It didn’t start too well, though. I only had a short walk that day (about 10 miles), but it was rainy and cold and everything I wore was wet. As I approached the city, I climbed a small rise and found myself at the Monte de Guzo (the ‘Mount of Joy’), so named because of the joy the ancient Christian pilgrims felt at arriving at their goal. At the top of the Monte de Guzo are the statues of two pilgrims pointing toward the cathedral.

This is the first point at which the spires of the cathedral can be seen.

Despite the rain and cold, a deep feeling of accomplishment and happiness came over me.

There are two things every pilgrim

TRAVEL

Scott Richardson

lists your name in its Latin form and confirms that you have completed the Camino. (I think my Latin name just went from Scott to Scot.)

Many pilgrims also go to the Pilgrim’s Mass that is held every day at noon. Unfortunately, the cathedral is under renovation in preparation for the Holy Year in 2021, so the service is held at a different church—the church at the monastery of San Francisco.

This is also also a beautiful church. The church dates from the 1700’s, but the monastery was founded by St. Francis of Assisi after his pilgrimage in the early 1200’s. At the Pilgrim’s Mass, a list of the countries of the arriving pilgrims is read. I can’t help but feel a sense of pride at hearing the name of my country read.

Santiago is wonderful place to end the pilgrimage. The city is beautiful— full of old churches and other historic buildings, as well as museums. The roads in the old city are stone or cobblestone and are mostly pedestrian

walkways. Statues, fountains, and other monuments are everywhere. But the city is also filled with fabulous cafes and restaurants—just what a tired pilgrim needs at the end of his/her journey.

The final tally for my Camino: 5 weeks, 513 miles, and 1,161,419 steps taken. That’s not a typo—over a million steps walked!

Thanks for following my articles over the past several weeks. If you are interested in learning more about the Camino, I’d be happy to come speak to your church or civic group. I can show a few pictures and answer questions about the Camino. Please contact me using the email address in my bio.

100 years after prohibition, jobs in breweries skyrocketing

P

rohibition — a nationwide ban on the production sale, and transportation of alcoholic beverages — went into effect on Oct. 28, 1919. One hundred years later, a robust U.S. alcohol industry employs about 1 million Americans. And consumer preferences for locally produced craft beers are fueling explosive job growth in U.S. breweries. Brewery-related job postings on ZipRecruiter more than doubled between 2017 and 2018, and are on track for another strong year in 2019.

This is an exceptional economic story.

While in the rest of the economy, there is

a trend towards establishments consolidating and big mega-companies gobbling up smaller ones, the number of breweries has expanded six-fold since 2008. And while the U.S. economy broadly transitions from a manufacturing economy to

a service economy, the alcohol industry is one place where job growth in manufacturing outpaces that in retail by a factor of eight.

Overall, the alcohol industry employs people across four sectors: manufacturing, wholesale trade, retail trade, and leisure and hospitality. According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, taverns, pubs, and bars are the largest employers in the industry, with about 400,000 staff on payrolls. Alcoholic beverage wholesalers are next, with about 200,000. Historically, retailers (beer, wine and liquor stores) have been the third-

largest employers, with about 160,000 staff. But alcoholic beverage manufacturers (breweries, wineries, and distilleries) overtook retailers a few months ago, and continue to experience rapid job growth.

In just 10 years, employment at breweries, wineries, and distilleries has grown 139%, far faster than total employment economy-wide, which has grown 16%.

Employment at bars and alcohol stores, by contrast, grew at about the same pace as employment overall (15% and 16%, respectively), employment at alcohol wholesalers has grown slightly faster by 20%. — Julia Pollak, ZipRecruiter

Warehousing employment growing, but for how long?

E

mployment in warehousing and storage has grown by a whopping 50% since 2015, according to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Particularly in poorer areas where land is cheap and it makes sense to build storage facilities, warehouses are providing job opportunities for people with little education or work experience.

In some towns, it has now eclipsed other industries as the leading employer.

The warehousing expansion has been fueled by growth in global trade and ecommerce. But it is unclear how long it can continue. In recent months, growth has slowed. The slowdown may be a temporary blip like the one we experienced in 2013, the result of a trade war and manufacturing slowdown. Or it is possible that the period of explosive growth may be over for good.

Turnover is notoriously high in warehousing jobs, due to relatively low pay and job satisfaction, paired with high rates of work-related injuries. Many of the jobs are staffing agency or contractor positions with limited benefits. Warehousing is also

one of the industries with the greatest potential for automation.

New ten-year employment projections out from BLS estimate that employment in many warehousing occupations will be roughly the same in 2028 as it is now. The number of hand laborers and material movers, for example, is projected to rise from 4.10 million in 2018 to just 4.25 million by 2028, and the number of hand packers and packagers to fall from 673,000 to 650,000.

New warehouses will continue to open, but the number of workers per warehouse could fall as the most routine or unpleasant tasks are automated. Highly automated cold storage facilities offer a glimpse into the future. The overall result will be more modest growth in the quantity of work than we experienced over the past five years, but a distinct increase in the quality of work. Hand laborer positions will be replaced by jobs for machine operators, maintenance technicians, and even drone pilots–jobs that tend to be safer, require more technical training and pay more. — Julia Pollak, ZipRecruiter

While overall job growth slows, health care employment surges

H

ealthcare employment is experiencing breakaway growth in 2019 as an aging population and rising incomes raise demand for healthcare services. That is creating new opportunities for job seekers, including those displaced by the retail apocalypse.

According to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the healthcare sector has added more than 300,000 new jobs in the first nine months of 2019, 21% more than over the same period last year.

Meanwhile, the wider economy has seen job growth slow, with 37% fewer workers added to payrolls overall.

Job seekers from other industries increasingly look to switch to healthcare As a result, job seekers are flocking to healthcare from other sectors. In a recent ZipRecruiter survey, one in 10 retail workers said they were looking for jobs in the industry. People who used to work in business, education or accommodation before are also making the switch to jobs in the industry in large numbers.

Investing in healthcare skills, particularly mental health skills, is likely to pay

off The barrier to entry can be high in healthcare occupations, with many jobs requiring degrees and/or occupational licenses. But investments in those skills are likely to pay off in the long run since the industry is expected to account for

Why rising flexible and remote work are the answer A

bout 29% of workers have the option to work from home and 57% have flexible schedules in which they are able to vary the times they work, according to data released today by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. The data come from a supplement to the American Time Use Survey (ATUS), which was fielded in 2017-2018.

The questions were newly redesigned, so it is difficult to track changes over time.

But viewing the survey alongside other data sources suggests a clear upward trend towards more flexible and remote work over the past five years.

The American Working Conditions Survey (AWCS), for example, found that only 38% of workers could adapt their working hours within certain limits in 2015, far fewer than the 57% who said so in the 2017-2018 ATUS supplement. The 2015 AWCS also found that presence in the workplace was a requirement for 78% of workers, with the option to telecommute only available for a smaller minority of workers.

The increase in flexible and remote work reflects changing work norms, facilitated by the diffusion of technologies like videoconferencing and office chat apps. It

is particularly good news for three groups of workers: working parents, semi-retirees, and displaced workers.

1. Working parents, especially mothers, are more likely to exercise the option to work from home to coordinate their work schedule with family needs, according to the ATUS data. As telecommuting becomes more widespread, mothers could come to face fewer disadvantages in the workplace.

2. Many older workers are remaining in the workforce beyond retirement eligibility, and retirees are â&#x20AC;&#x153;unretiringâ&#x20AC;? and coming back to work. Flexible schedules and workfrom-home opportunities are particularly popular among this group of workers.

3. Displaced workers in towns that have lost their major industry, be it a coal mine or car factory, often find it extremely challenging to find new jobsâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;let alone jobs that pay as well. And for many, moving to a place with more job opportunities is not an option, due to family ties and differences in the cost of living. As working from home or remotely becomes more of an accepted norm, living in a town that experiences economic disruption may no longer cut one off from career opportunities. â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Â Julia Pollak, ZipRecruiter

Culpeper Times • Winter 2019

Be a Culpeper Local!

In 2010, in the midst of a staggering recession, a Culpeper downtown business owner had a vision. She shared her idea of a “buy local” campaign with Culpeper Renaissance, Inc. (CRI). CRI’s Economic Restructuring committee ran with it.

Now, six years later, the Be A Culpeper Local (BACL) program is supported by many businesses and extends beyond the downtown footprint. The program’s message is straight-forward; shop locally, spend your dollars in Culpeper. In doing so, Culpeper residents help contribute to the local tax base.

Culpeper County is home to more than 50,000 folks. They conduct their lives here. They work, eat, shop, play, go to school and pay taxes. In the case of most federal, state and local taxes, the individual has little control over where his or her hard-earned tax money ends up. Income taxes are paid to state and federal governments. Property taxes, licenses and fees are paid to the local government.

However, there is one tax the residents of Culpeper pay that the individual does have control over where the money will ultimately be put to use… Virginia State Sales Tax.

Of the 5% Virginia State sales tax collected on services and goods (five cents on the dollar), one cent is returned to the county in which it was collected and approximately another penny is returned to the county’s school system.

When a Culpeper resident shops in other counties or online, the sales tax paid is deposited in another county’s general fund and school system.

Local taxes fund local services, such as schools, police and fire departments.

(If you have a fire, your local fire department responds. When you shop in Culpeper, one cent for every dollar is put in the General Fund, which funds your local fire department. Shop elsewhere and you fund someone else’s

By Lori Loy

fire department.)

For the fiscal year 2017-2018 the County General Fund received approximately $8,585,489, the Town Fund received $1,672,143 and the School Fund received $8,721,888.

These millions are from Culpeper residents buying locally! If each of the 23,000 Culpeper households diverted $50 a week already being spent outside of Culpeper County and purchased those same products inside of Culpeper County, it could potentially generate thousands more annually to be applied to Culpeper services.

In addition to the return of a portion of the Virginia sales tax, there are several other benefits to shopping

locally. Studies have shown that for every $100 spent in a locally owned business, $45 remains and circulates in the community. In addition, when you buy from local businesses it contributes to the creation of more jobs locally.

Shopping local also reduces the carbon footprint. Why buy six gallons of gas to sit in two hours of traffic? Shopping locally saves time and money, and is a help to the environment.

The Culpeper Economic Development Department encourages you to Shop, Eat, Enjoy Locally this holiday season! Visit the BACL website to learn more on how you can Be A Culpeper Local! www.beaculpeperlocal. com.

Lighting the Christmas Spirit With the vibrant green of summer erupting to shades of brilliant gold, fiery orange, and majestic red, we know that our year is coming to a close. Before long, those same trees that carry autumn’s color will soon fall to December’s cold. But before you hear the sound of silver bells, you will see something special in downtown Culpeper. The light posts dotting the downtown landscape will soon be adorned with beautiful wreaths and small glowing embers. In the trees, illuminated ice will trickle through the barren limbs. Upon seeing this sight, you may feel a sudden warmth gather in your chest. That is the holiday spirit, rising and shrugging the chill of winter’s breath with a feeling that reminds you of fireplaces and laughter.

But who places those evergreen wreaths? Who hangs the incandescent decorations that light your path at night and make for a memorable Christmas in downtown Culpeper?

Late in the nights just prior to Thanksgiving, for about two weeks, a team from the Town of Culpeper Light and Power Department spend hours on the streets, among the trees, and in the cold, creating that very same winter wonderland. It is an effort that takes

time, patience, and care. Their personal pride in our hometown is on display for locals and visitors alike.

After you and yours have kissed the kids goodnight, this team of professional electricians and landscape artists set to work. Each strand that hangs from the tree is meticulously placed. The crew weaves the icicles between branches and inspects each to ensure a seasonal symmetry. It is a slow going process but this further underscores the team’s commitment to create a beautiful winter wonderland here in our backyard.

What started as only a few wreaths and lights hanging from a couple of trees requiring a few hours to hang has grown into a well-organized effort that requires a number of late nights spread over a couple of weeks. This same team takes every step possible to minimize the impact to the lives of Culpeper citizens. Starting soon after midnight, they work until the break of dawn so that when you wake in the morning, you are greeted by a little holiday magic that is reminiscent of a particularly jolly fellow from the North Pole.

Throughout the year, these same individuals restore your power in a hurricane’s wake. They are the same

folks who guarantee those street lights, crosswalk signs, and stoplights function from January to December.

They are immediate responders in the wake of a devastating August thunderstorm. But it is particularly during the holiday season when they can showcase their pride in our community.

Why do they do it? For this team from the Town of Culpeper Light and Power Department, this is a way to give back to Culpeper. Those lights

By Richard Smyth

you see lining the downtown streets represent the love, comfort, and forgiveness of the holiday season. So when you and your family wander through downtown Culpeper this December and you see the evergreen wreaths dangling from the lampposts, remember the folks who made that happen. Remember that this Rockwellinspired walk was only possible thanks to a devoted team who worked through the nights to make Culpeper a little more special throughout the yuletide.

Design Committee lights up downtown Designated in 1988, Culpeper Renaissance, Inc. (CRI) is a member of the Virginia Main Street program.

The main street program was organized by the National Trust for Historic Preservation to help revitalize the economic vitality of downtown commercial districts using the National Main Street Center's successful Four Point Approach™.

The guiding principles of the Main Street Four Point Approach™ are Design, Promotion, Economic Restructuring, and Organization.

The Design facet of the four point approach focuses on creating a sense of place for locals and visitors, assisting property owners and investors with the rehabilitation of historic buildings, encouraging supportive new construction, developing sensitive design management systems and long-term planning of the downtown commercial district.

When people think of great cities they recall the downtown area.

Downtowns create the identity for a region and as such, determine the quality of life. CRI works to make our downtown exude color, vibrancy and possibility. The future health of Culpeper downtown will be based

on many things, but perhaps most important is the attractiveness and its desirability as a place to work, live and play. The downtown streetscape sets the stage for community life. The livability and beauty of the downtown is greatly determined by the streetscape. The streetscape of the downtown district enhances the physical appearance.

Therefore, improving the overall environment of the community, and attracting increased social interaction.

The CRI Design Committee works at making the downtown commercial district an appealing environment for all to enjoy by implementing the following: • Free professional façade renderings • Feasibility study grants • Façade, sign, and awning grants • Development and upkeep of projects such as the E.B. Wood Community Park • Culpeper Downtown Walls Mural Program • Streetlamp hanging flower baskets and other plantings • Placement of seasonal streetlamp banners • Holiday decorations • Wreaths and garlands • Snow fall lights • Placement of cornstalks and bows

VIEWS Nationals lessons THE MARSHALL PLAN

Deep inside my brawny ScottishAmerican chest beats a soulful Marshall Conner Latin heart— this was what I was feeling in the afterglow of the Washington Nationals’ World Series victory last Wednesday night.

I was singing “Calma” to my wife in my best C-average Spanish accent and buying a World Series caps for $34.99.

I stayed up late, tossed back a few sips of a lovely 12-year-old Dominican rum and I laughed at street scenes unfolding across my television.

The Nationals brought me joy—the kind of joy I haven’t experienced since the Redskins’ Super Bowls (yes, this dates me), DC United’s titles (slightly dated), or the Capitals recent Stanley Cup. This week, I didn’t let politics bring me up or down. I was humming “Baby Shark” while I tossed dozens of political flyers into my recycling bin each evening.

In the months preceding all the key strikeouts, homers and walks I began to see something very special in this season’s Nationals team. They had rebounded from a terrible start. They overcame key injuries and earned a wildcard spot. They focused on going 1-0 each night---all with smiles, dance lines in the dugout and timely heroics.

The positive vibes were so powerful that Steven Strasburg and Ryan Zimmerman were hugging teammates and smiling.

This year's tournament raised over S19,000 for Angel Flight. That brings the four year total raised by the J.J. Quinn Memorial Tournament to over $71,000.

Monday, October 7th was another beautiful day with 100 golfers participating. In addition to local area golfers participants also came from Washington, DC, Virginia Beach, VA, and Raleigh, NC. To start the day golfers enjoyed a

Gone was the aggro (homer or strikeout) strategy of the past few years—this team had multiple ways of beating opponents. It had great pitching, defense, timely hitting, key homeruns, youthful optimism, veteran leadership and this team had resilience.

The other element was faith in each other.

When I scanned the Nats lineup I thought these are the type of men I would like to have on my side. They reminded of the best squads I either led or stood within in the Army— an awesome blend of personalities, cultures, veterans and youth. I looked at these players and saw guys that would not let each other down. This is what America looks like at its best.

The Nationals were the great melting pot cooked perfectly.

The sports media and Vegas oddsmakers claimed the Nats were underdogs. They were more than happy to take that role. The Astros were a talented team, there’s no doubt. So were the Dodgers, Cardinals and Brewers.

I had faith that this team would stay in the fight and I had faith that it would prevail. Sure, there were times and games that brought back the ghosts of past failures and heartbreaking collapses—but this time a Howie Kendrick grand slam saved the day, and a three-game losing streak at home became just another obstacle to conquer.

As I gave “Calma” another play I thought about my own journey through baseball fandom. As a kid it was tough to truly call a team “my own” especially when the Army moved your family across the south. As a teen I liked the

80s Phillies when I attended summer games with my Philly-based, World War II veteran, grandfather. Then my fandom shifted to the Orioles, largely due to Cal Ripken Jr. and the gritty toughness of Charm City.

Baseball always held a special place among the sports I enjoyed because I appreciated it on multiple levels—in literature, history, film and on the radio. It was the sport of the Greatest Generation, a generation that I have always admired more than the Boomers or my own. It also makes me think of time spent with my brother who has a life-long baseball obsession.

The joy that I saw emanating from the Nationals dugout---made me recall the fun I had jumping in Section 135 supporting DC United inside RFK with La Barra Brava in the late 90s and early 2000s. Our tailgates had the same level of fun that I saw in the Nationals’ homerun dances and my friendships there were life changing.

The lessons of last week’s World Series: “Bumpy roads can lead to beautiful places” “Win today, don’t feel sorry for yourself, do something about it” “A World Series can cure heart issues” “19-31 can be overcome” “Calma is a great song” “Baby Shark has power” “It never hurts to have fun” “Hug each other, we’re all in the fight” “Stay in the Fight” “Finish the Fight” “The World Champion Nationals were America at it’s best”

warm breakfast provided courtesy of Chic-fil-A, and were also provided with a boxed lunch on the course courtesy of Jersey Mike's.

The day ended with an awards dinner which was attended by 135 golfers, sponsors, and donors. Mr. Robb Alpaugh, President and CEO of Angel Flight Mid-Atlantic thanked those in attendance (see sidebar for sponsors and donors) for their continuing outstanding support of Angel Flight Mid-Atlantic and it's mission of mercy.

The date for the 5th Annual J.J. Quinn Memorial Tournament is Monday, October 5, 2020. Reserve the date now!

CHURCH Looking for love FAITH IN THE COMMUNITY

In 1980, there was a movie that premiered entitled, “Urban Cowboy.” It starred John Travolta and Debra Winger.

The theme song for this film was sung by a guy named Johnny Lee, and the song was entitled, “Lookin’ for Love.” The words of the refrain are still well known as they go like this: “I was lookin’ for love in all the wrong places, lookin’ for love in too many faces, searchin’ their eyes and lookin’ for traces of what I’m dreamin’ of. Hopin’ to find a friend and a lover; I’ll bless the day I discover another heart lookin’ for love.”

It seems like the words in this song never get old and remain so

Pastor Brad Hales

true. As humans, we’re always seeking some form of love and acceptance. Whether it’s the love of a spouse, the love between parent and child, or the love of friendship, we continually long for that affection and deep connection. And when we lack this relationship, it so easy to feel lost and alone.

When my dad died several years ago, my mother would always lament that of all the difficult parts of losing your mate, the nights were always the worst.

In the family room where my parents would spend their evenings, as my mom gazed across the room focusing on my dad’s empty recliner, the feeling of emptiness intensified even more.

Humans crave love. And to this extent, even if we cannot find it, we will search high and low seeking to fill that “hole” in our hearts. Even if it causes us to look for love in

“all the wrong places.” Maybe some of the wrong places include stuff, drama, alcohol, drugs, sex, power, control, food, money, praise or even the need to be constantly recognized and thanked.

I once had a family member come to me as they were experiencing “spiritual stirrings” in their soul.

But the more we spoke, the less they wanted to explore it. They were content in living their upscale life in suburbia, clinging to the things of the world with their empty heart.

It’s so tempting for us to cling to the “quick fix” when it comes to being satisfied. But this fix is only temporary at best.

Because there is only one who can provide the real love and welcome that our hearts constantly yearn. And its Jesus. In Jesus, we have a love that is eternal and all encompassing. As it is written in Ephesians 3:18, “so that you,

together with all of God’s people, may have the power to understand how broad and long, how high and deep, is Christ’s love.”

In Jesus, we also have a love that cannot be taken away from us. In Romans 8:38-39 it says, “For I am certain that nothing can separate us from his love: neither death nor life, neither angels nor other heavenly rulers or powers, neither the present or the future; neither the world above nor the world below-there is nothing in all creation that will ever be able to separate us from the love of God which is ours through Christ Jesus our Lord.”

Kid Central celebrates after school programs Without Kid Central’s afterschool program, many parents would be left in the dark.

Kid Central, Culpeper County Public Schools and Culpeper Wellness Foundation celebrated their partnership in offering after school opportunities to Culpeper youth with the “Lights On Afterschool” event Oct. 24.

Each elementary school in Culpeper, and a combined effort with Culpeper Middle School and Floyd T. Binns Middle School, hosts an afterschool program.

On Oct. 24, at Yowell Elementary, Rachel Palmer, Kid Central program manager, talked to key stakeholders about how important it is to engage students and help parents with the program - which accommodates more than 600 students.

“Parents needs to work and they need somewhere safe for their children to go after school,” Palmer said.

“We all know kids go home unattended, teen pregnancy rates go up, crime goes up. It’s definitely important to have a safe place for the children to go where we can extend the learning

➤ Church, from Page 16 the axel.

Everything was fine for a few days until the tire pressure light appeared on the dashboard.

Thinking it was nothing, I drove great distances on that tire with no problem. But I felt compelled to take it in and get checked. And guess what? They found a nail in one of my wheels. So, they filled it back with air, and “patched up” the tire.

And even in the daily struggles of living, it’s Jesus love alone that will fill are wanting hearts, and will literally “patch up” the hurts, the frustrations, the disappointments and the losses so we can live and serve each day.

Instead of “looking for love in all the wrong places,” we can certainly look for love in the right place. A love that will never let us down but will always lift us up. A love that can only be encountered through a guy named Jesus.

Brad Hales is the pastor of Reformation Lutheran Church in Culpeper. Along with being ordained for over 24 years, he is also the Director of Domestic Mission for the North American Lutheran Church.

from the school day.”

The Kid Central program offers homework help, STEM activities, arts and crafts, cooking and on Oct. 24 featured a fitness and nutrition-themed day with special guests from the Culpeper Sport and Fitness and the Culpeper Extension Office.

Palmer praised the work of the Culpeper Sport and Fitness employees - under the Culpeper Wellness Foundation umbrella - who teach pickleball, tennis and zumba to students weekly.

On Oct. 24, zumba instructor Kaori Rudacille had a group of nearly 25 students dancing in the Yowell Elementary School gym, getting exercise while having a good time.

“Our partnership with Kid Central has been a real highlight of our work,” Culpeper Wellness Foundation President Shari Landry said.

“Together we’ve been able to introduce hundreds of kids to tennis, yoga and the benefits of physical exercise.

Active kids are healthier kids - mentally and physically. It is our hope that they will enjoy the experience and continue to pursue opportunities to be active and try new things.”

Culpeper Sport and Fitness manager Preston Will said it’s important

to engage with students.

“For me, being a local, it’s great to keep these kids busy and active,” Will said. “Exercise is always good and if we can get that ingrained in the kids at an early age, they can keep that going later in life.”

While he rattled off pickleball, yoga and tennis as offerings, he admitted that most kids seem to really enjoy zumba.

ENERGY REGULATORY COMMISSION Take notice that on or after December 2, 2019, Old Dominion Electric Cooperative (ODEC) intends to file with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) a Petition requesting waiver of certain obligations in FERC’s rules implementing Section 210 of the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA), on behalf of itself and the following ODEC member distribution cooperatives which are regulated by the Virginia State Corporation Commission (VSCC): A&N Electric Cooperative, BARC Electric Cooperative, Community Electric Cooperative, Mecklenburg Electric Cooperative, Northern Neck Electric Cooperative, Prince George Electric Cooperative, Rappahannock Electric Cooperative, Shenandoah Valley Electric Cooperative, and Southside Electric Cooperative (collectively, the “Members”).

The Petition will request waiver of FERC’s regulations to allow ODEC and the Members to jointly implement their respective obligations under Section 210 of PURPA and under Part 292 of the FERC’s regulations, 18 C.F.R. Part 292, as set forth in the PURPA Implementation Plan between ODEC and its member distribution cooperatives. PURPA Section 210 was enacted to encourage production of electric energy by qualifying cogeneration and small power production facilities (QFs). Part 292 of FERC’s Regulations sets forth the requirements regarding arrangements between electric utilities and QFs. Part 292 requires electric utilities to purchase and sell energy and capacity from and to QFs. The PURPA Implementation Plan provides that (1) any QF may interconnect with the electric distribution systems of ODEC’s Members or to ODEC’s transmission system to the extent such QF is entitled to interconnection under Part 292 of the Commission’s Regulations; (2) ODEC will purchase capacity and energy from QFs with a net capacity in excess of 100 kW and up to 20 MW as made available by such QFs, at ODEC’s avoided cost; (3) each of the Members will sell supplementary, back-up and maintenance power to QFs on a firm or interruptible basis, upon request, at rates that are non-discriminatory, just and reasonable, and in the public interest; and (4) no QF will be subject to duplicative charges for interconnection or wheeling as a result of selling to ODEC and buying from a Member. By Order issued on August 9, 2019, in its Case No. PUR-2019-0047, the VSCC granted ODEC’s motion for authorization to state that the VSCC endorses the Petition with respect to the Members.

Copies of the PURPA Implementation Plan will be sent to interested parties upon request.

FERC will publish notice of the Petition in the Federal Register following receipt of the filing.

That notice will specify that any person desiring to be heard in this matter can make the appropriate filing with the FERC.

➤ Chaos, from Page 6 and he was just excited to have wrestling come to Culpeper for the first time since the 1980s.

“This is amazing to have it in your backyard, is incredible,” Ruffner said. “To have a Hall of Famer like Billy Gunn here, it’s crazy.

In my town? It’s crazy.”

“Culpeper doesn’t get that level of entertainment,” James said. “We have to drive to D.C., or Richmond, or Charlottesville. To see it more often would be great. To get it, you have to be here.”

The two have traveled to WWE shows, AEW shows, Wrestlemanias - they are part of a community, one that is full of other diehard fans that love the escapism that professional wrestling brings each week.

“The electricity is there, you have some of the greatest athletes in the culture of pro wrestling,” James said. “We’re hoping they come back.”

According to EVHS athletic director Mark Settle, they’re hoping to bring MCW back.

Saturday’s card was a success Settle said.

The boosters raised about $2,500 and had 350 fans show up to cheer on their favorites and meet up and coming stars.

James and Ruffner shook hands with Billy Gunn, a WWE Hall of Famer known for his run from the 1990s until the early 2000s.

“I love it, I’ve been on the big stage, I’ve been at the top of the heap, I’ve been at the bottom

Former MCW champion Dante Caballero and his Cartel play to the crowd Saturday. of the heap,I’ve been at the middle of the heap - this is a lot more intimate,” Gunn said. “It’s making sure these people leave hear having had a good time. I’m going to go out here and entertain these people because that’s what I do.”

The crowd cheered just as hard for up and coming stars Dante Caballero and his Cartel and Breaux Keller. Harrisonburg’s own Brandon Scott had a long line at intermission walking up to shake his hand and take pictures. One young man even had a chance to chop Greg Excellent’s opponent.

It’s an experience the fans in attendance won’t soon forget - and will hopefully be able to relive in the spring.

Weekly Tarotscope for Nov. 7: The World, 4 Of Swords

TAROTSCOPES

The World indicates that we Cara Cutro are integrating lessons, leveling up or graduating.

This could be the completion of a project, finishing a program of study, paying off a loan- this is the successful completion of a major chapter in our lives. This could manifest as something tangible in the physical world, or may be more of a psychic change. For example, recognizing patterns of behavior that no longer serve us that we need to be rid of, and finally being able to see the way forward in order to transcend old behaviors. The World can also simply indicate a feeling of being whole. Everything is in its rightful place and we can see the purpose in our lives.

Coupled with the 4 of Swords, it’s time to rest after a job well done!

Take it easy this week. The World is a massive accomplishment, so it

makes perfect sense that a time of recuperation is needed. You can see the 3 Swords are in stasis above the Knight resting. These are symbolic of thoughts and ideas on hold. Even the Sword below him is in a state of rest. Swords are about the mental plane and 4’s are representative of stability and security. It is a safe time to rest and to quiet the mind. Don’t push yourself or others this week, so much has already been accomplished. Resting in contemplation allowing the mind to calm itself will be greatly rewarded.

This is a beautiful combination of accomplishment and rest this week.

Cara Cutro is a spirit centered teacher and life coach residing in Sperryville, VA. She is an herbalist, massage therapist, reiki master, intuitive counselor, tarot reader, and the owner of Abracadabra Massage & Wellness and the Wisdomkeepers School.
