Culpeper Times • January 12-18, 2017

Salute to our Veterans 'A Lasting Memento of the Nation’s Thanks' The local chapter (752) of Vietnam Veterans of America met in December to honor their members and celebrate the season. During the event, several were given the Vietnam Veteran Lapel Pin as well as a 50-year Commemoration pin for service, valor and sacrifice available to all military.

Congress passed legislation to recognize, thank and honor United States military veterans who served during the Vietnam War. The United States involvement spanned from 1955-1975 with 58,479 never returning.

Those who did were often met with hostility rather than appreciation as the war was unpopular.

Last year in conjunction with Memorial Day, veterans were honored at a ceremony at Culpeper’s National Cemetery where a Vietnam Veteran Lapel Pin was given to several dozen veterans.

Those eligible to receive the pin are living United States veterans who served on active duty in the U.S. Armed Forces at any time during the period of November 1, 1955 to May 15, 1975, regardless of location, and are eligible to receive on lapel pin.

These lapel pins will be presented in a dignified manner to each Vietnam veteran during public events held in their communities

by Commemorative Partners. In the rare instance when an honoree cannot attend a public event, the pin may be presented during a private ceremony.

What is the symbolism of the Vietnam Veteran Lapel Pin? Eagle - The eagle represents courage, honor, and dedicated service to our nation. As one of the most recognizable and notable American symbols, it is emblazoned with distinction on numer-

Blue Circle - The color blue matches the canton of the American flag and signifies vigilance, perseverance, and justice.

The circle shape and blue color also match the official seal of the Commemoration.

Laurel Wreath - A time-honored symbol representing victory, integrity, and strength.

Stripes - The stripes behind the eagle represent the American flag.

Stars - the six stars represent the six allies who served, sacrificed, and fought alongside one another: Australia, New Zealand, the Philippines, the Republic of Korea,Thailand, and the United States.

Message - “A Grateful Nation Thanks and Honors You” is embossed on the back, closest to the heart of the wearer.

Also, the official name of the Commemoration is included to remind each veteran that this is a national initiative, and this lapel pin is the nation’s lasting memento of thanks.

Becoming a member of Vietnam Veterans of America Founded in 1978, Vietnam Veterans of America is the only national Vietnam veterans organization congressionally chartered and exclusively dedicated to Vietnam-era veterans and their families.

Their goals are to promote and support the full range of issues important to Vietnam veterans, to create a new identity for this generation of veterans, and to change public perception of Vietnam veterans.

Some tax refunds delayed

School Board seeks input

According to an IRS announcement in December, many refunds will be delayed several weeks this year because of a new law and increased safeguards against Identify theft and fraud.

If you claim the earned income tax credit (a benefit for working people with low to moderate income) or the additional child tax credit (a refundable tax credit for parent), you will not see your money until after February 15, 2017 (the standard IRS timing is less than 21 days).

4 A new law, Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act of 2015 (PATH Act) that was enacted Dec. 18, 2015, made several changes to the tax law to benefit taxpayers and their families.

Virginians at risk from faulty airbags Thousands of Virginians have a vehicle under recall for a defective airbag that has caused 11 U.S. deaths and many serious injuries. Nearly 70 million Takata brand airbag inflators in about 42 million vehicles are or will be under recall in the United States by 2019. All vehicle owners are strongly encouraged to go to Safercar.gov and enter their Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) to check for any recalls.

The recall includes vehicles made by more than a dozen automakers, however, certain Hondas and Acura models pose the most urgent threat with up to a 50-percent chance of rupture. About 1,400 of these vehicles are registered in the Richmond area, 1,500 in Tidewater, and 9,000 in Northern Virginia and Washington D.C., according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

God. Family. Community.

Those were the three tenets taught to Frances Gilmore by her parents Joe and Bootsie from a young age.

Anyone who has encountered the woman lovingly known as Frankie can see the commitment to those three factors in her life. She is devoted to her faith, she cherishes her family and she has made the community a part of that family.

One of the originators of the Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby, Gilmore has a passion for the youth of the community, having mentored hundreds through the annual race and the various programs that have grown out of the derby.

It’s for those reasons, and more, that the Culpeper Times chose to honor Frankie as the 2016 Citizen of the Year.

“I’m biased,” her brother and longtime partner in crime Tony Troilo said. “She so involved in everything.”

In addition to her work with the Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby, she helps coordinate Toys for Tots, is the Region 8 Coordinator for the International Soap Box Derby, is active with the Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department and is treasurer for the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce.

“Locally she is the derby queen,” Troilo said. “If you want to get something done, call someone who’s busy. And she’s always busy. You want her on your side.”

Troilo recalls how the derby came to be

in Culpeper and the pivotal role Frankie played in it. In the fall of 2002, the pair began planning for a way to honor the 50th anniversary of Rosson & Troilo, the business their father and mother started. What better way, they concluded, was to hold a derby in Culpeper. Their father Joe had participated in the derby in the suburbs of Pittsburgh, Pa. in his youth and spoke fondly of that time.

However, once the two began learning about the derby and the work it entailed, Tony realized that it was too much too soon. They’d have to start the derby the next year.

That was, until his sister changed his mind.

“It was New Year’s Day 2003 when Frankie called,” Tony recalled. “‘We’re going to do the Soap Box Derby,’ she said.”

Yes, Tony said, we’re going to do it in 2004, just like we talked about.

“No, we’re doing it this year,” Frankie declared.

Thus, the Soap Box Derby of Culpeper was born.

“Now we’re a showcase for the derby,” Tony said. “She’s surrounded herself with good people.”

Since 2003 it’s been one first after another for the local derby. In 2007 they were the largest local derby in the world, in 2012 they opened Paul Bates Raceway - a stateof-the-art facility honoring longtime volunteer Paul Bates. The Culpeper derby has been at the forefront of STEM education and the integration between derbies and schools.

“When you talk about the mission of the derby, she epitomizes that,” International Soap Box Derby Vice President Bobby Dinkins said. “She’s so passionate about kids. ➤ See Gilmore, Page 5

NEWS

Culpeper Times • January 12-18, 2017 ➤ Gilmore, from Page 4 She really gets the mission of the derby and what it stands for. She is so focused on the mission of the derby and because of that she has had so much success. She has done a wonderful job in Culpeper. It’s one of our top programs in the country.”

She has helped make it one of the premier programs by forging relationships with government officials and volunteers, all with one explicit goal - to help the youth of the region.

“Frankie is a wonderful choice,” Culpeper County Administrator John Egertson said. “She is one of the most energetic and positive people that I have ever met.

She has done so much for the youth of our community through the soap box derby.

Frankie is also currently involved in the efforts to increase career and technical education opportunities in our schools, among other things. She volunteers much of her time in serving our community, especially our youth.”

Longtime local sports journalist and youth advocate Marshall Conner has worked with Gilmore covering the derby since day one. He has also worked with her as the Kid Central Marketing and Sports Coordinator and helped form the Kid Central STEM summer camp in conjunction with the derby.

"There is one component to any project I've ever teamed up with Frankie on--it's an unwavering dedication to local families and our community,” Conner said. “It's work rooted in the heart. Frankie teamed up with Kid Central last year on a new STEM program that tied into the Soap Box Derby.

Frankie always creates wonderful opportunities that have local kids in mind.

Her plans and partnerships always begin and end with a smile and hug. Her heart is in her work."

At the heart of her heart, is the kids.

She’s helped countless drivers over the years, and has helped honor drivers who passed too soon - such as Carol Anne Brown and Andrew Windland.

She is instantly recognizable in the community due to her bubbly personality, whether it’s hitting up sponsors for the derby or for her work with 103.3 WJMA &

"What a remarkable woman, honestly, I am so thankful for the friendship of Frankie Gilmore. From her great work with the Derby to each program she supports in the Culpeper Chamber, her work with the radio - the passion she has for the interwoven community in Culpeper brings advancement and growth,” said Irene Karedis Borys, Cyberbility; Committee Chair Derby; Committee Member, Culpeper Chamber.

“Further she is an encourager above all after each interaction with Friankie, you find yourself feeling you can achieve anything. We in Culpeper are fortunate to have Frankie Gilmore building our community."

Every year at the beginning of the annual derby, Frankie takes the microphone and gives her annual speech. After 14 years, one would think it would be hard to bring passion to talking about remembering to wear helmets or to stay in lanes, but with each sentence there is an earnest love of what she does.

“She’s someone we’re very blessed to have in the community and I’m blessed to have her as a sister,” Troilo said.

Those three factors - God, family, community - seem simple, but for Frankie, they’re a testament to what is really important in life and how to live a life fulfilled.

Congratulations Frankie, the Culpeper Times is honored to name you as our 2016 Citizen of the Year.

Real People – Real Stories: Local film crew heads to Florida

By Adam Forster

SPECIAL TO THE CULPEPER TIMES

Things are busy at the studios of Renaissance Women Productions located in Rappahannock County.

It’s the culmination of nine months of hard work to produce a compelling TV series, filmed entirely in Virginia. In our culture where death, scandal and bad weather lead the news cycle, this is another example of one of the many really good things that go on in the background almost unnoticed.

Nina May and her very talented crew started production last April on the TV series Daily Bread. It’s a post-apocalyptic drama set in rural Virginia featuring seven millennial women who were filming a cooking show when a solar flare knocks out electricity around the world. Nina chose to use a solar flare as the catalyst to eliminate the political blame game. It wasn’t global warming, aliens, an invading nation or an outbreak of a deadly disease. It is totally out of man’s control, but it is how they deal with it that sets the stage for exciting episodes. The girls split into two factions, the gunnies and the foodies. The gunnies are solely focused on defense and survival, the foodies believe that thriving and rebuilding society is as important as survival.

There are many parallel stories of people who are stranded as either refugees or stragglers and those who have always been prepared for such an event like the preppers. Of course the roving gang and invaders add the intrigue and tension to a very thrilling plot.

Nina calls this show a faith based post-apocalyptic program with hope. To her, all the other productions of this genre are generally very dark, with little in the way of hope or redemption. This positive approach is very much reflected in the cast and crew. They have created a remarkable product, and the first two episodes are completed,

having gone through the stages of production like color, sound design and composition.

They have a much more reasonable budget than most Hollywood productions and are able to create an amazing product for a fraction of the traditional costs because they all wear a lot of hats. A great example of this is the statue that set designer Skip Lipman created out of a plastic mannequin and a foam head. It looks just like a 9 foot tall bronze statue, even up close. It cost just over $100 for materials and supplies instead of the tens of thousands that a real statue would cost.

And, Skip doubles as an actor, playing the part of Bubba in the prepper camp.

Daily Bread is a family friendly production both in the script and on the set. Production Manager Ron Newcomb always starts the day off with prayer. So whether it’s seven girls dressed to go to a party or 60 preppers locked and loaded and ready for battle there is always the same gentle and happy spirit on set.

At the end of this week, Nina with her production crew and several of the stars will head to Miami, to the NAPTE convention (National Association of Producers and Television Executives) to show off their program and hope to land a buyer for the first Season. It’s a great time to be in their shoes. Netflix has emerged as a heavyweight in not only content delivery but also creation and is causing dramatic changes in the whole entertainment business. The search is underway for new content on every delivery platform.

Daily Bread's trailer has been viewed more than 73,000 times already. You can view this on their websitewww.dailybreadseries.com or on their Facebook page https:// www.facebook.com/dailybreadseries. Also on their page is the show introduction, created by Post Production Supervisor Arel Avel-

It’s absolutely incredible and looks as good as anything on TV right now. The entire opening was produced entirely in-house including the score and the amazing slow motion shots.

HOME & GARDEN Fire and Fireplace Safety Tips for Winter (StatePoint) Winter is the coziest time of year.

It’s also a time of year that can pose specific safety risks, especially around the use of candles, fire and heating products.

In 2015, one home structure fire was reported every 86 seconds, according to the National Fire Protection Association. To protect your family and home, check out these tips.

Safety Devices Double check all of your home’s safety devices, including carbon monoxide detectors and smoke alarms for functionality and to ensure batteries are still working.

Doing so will offer you greater peace of mind during a time of year with additional fire risks.

Fireplaces Nothing beats the charm and warmth of a fireplace.

Heatilator, a leader in fireplace safety and the number one fireplace brand used by homebuilders,

began including safety screens as standard equipment more than a decade before rules required the use of this equipment in new fireplace installations. As a pioneer in the field of fireplace safety, they offer these tips: • Ensure gas fireplaces are outfitted with safety screens. Check out Heatilator, which offers retrofit safety screens.

• Never leave children or pets unattended near a lit fireplace or one that was recently turned off.

Safety screens are meant to protect against contact with hot glass, but remember that the metal can also heat up, and your heating equipment -- fireplaces, stoves, inserts and their surrounding material -will remain hot for some time after use.

• Consider annual maintenance for both wood-burning and gas fireplaces, as recommended by experts.

Why did I start beekeeping? To bee happy.

When asked if I would be willing to write about the life of bees, becoming a beekeeper, and sharing what a wonderful insight I have found with our hives, I said sure! What better way to educate?

I am not by any means an expert on bees but what I am is someone that cares very deeply in what we leave for our children and grandchildren by way of a healthy earth, food that is healthy and not artificially changed, water that is not polluted, and taking care of our pollinators because without them we all lose, this is my legacy.

When I started beekeeping I had no idea I would not only become passionate about these wonderful insects but found that when talking about the life of bees I could impart (I hoped, little known facts that would help to educate most people). With the opening of my shop “La Bee da Loca” I found my calling, working around bees I found a sense of calm and peacefulness I hadn’t had in a long time. When I start talking about how the colony works together to get things accomplished and how each worker bee has a job to do people start asking questions which opens a dialogue and I have found that adults as well as children are very interested and are somewhat surprised about the life of bees and come away with a new found awareness of how important honey bees are to our existence.

In 1973 Karl von Frisch received the Nobel Prize in Medicine for his studies in the language of bees and how they share information in finding flowers, determining the value of each flower as a food source, being able to

Candles Candles can be a feast for the senses, but they are also a major cause of accidents and house fires.

Don’t burn candles near curtains, and other flammable objects.

Never leave candles unattended.

Ensure all flames are extinguished before leaving a room and before going to sleep. If you have pets or children, make sure any open flames are well out of their reach and consider alternatives such as candle warmers.

Taking a few key precautions can help you make your home a safe haven this winter.

navigate their way back to the hive, and communicating all of these things to those of her sister bees by way of a waggle dance. A very intricate dance that each forager bee performs (I like to call it an internal GPS for all forager bees!).

A worker bee can live up to six weeks and in that time will only bring in 1/12 of a teaspoon of honey in her lifetime that in itself is a tremendous amount of work for such a small insect.

So next time you go buy some honey think of just how many honey bees it took to make that one jar of honey.

'Titanic:' The unsinkable musical The greatest theatre often requires the greatest risks.

There’s no statuette for playing it safe. Aware of the challenges but thrilled by the possibilities, composer and lyricist Maury Yeston steamed ahead with writer Peter Stone into unchartered waters. Their destination: a musical version of the Titanic disaster – and the risks were legion.

Everybody knows the story, and no live theatre can compete with Cameron’s movie version on film terms. It would have to be something uniquely theatrical told with an outstanding musical score and tightly controlled focus.

When “Titanic” finally opened on Broadway in 1997, it faced a field of icy reviews and technical difficulties.

Gradually the show righted itself, and after 805 performances was nominated for – and won – five Tonys, including Best Musical.

After 105 years, the Titanic disaster still fascinates us. No other maritime disaster has so wide a field of cultists and trivia sharks, for all the elements of a great story are there: Man’s technological hubris, the White Star Line’s ambitions, the crew and passengers’ optimism, heroism and cowardice, and a raft of compounding human errors born of carelessness and over-confidence. Set them afloat on the largest moving object in the world sailing under a moonless sky and colliding with a mammoth iceberg jutting from a glassy calm sea - and a ‘night to remember’ is born.

True to their reputation for staging monumental theatre in a close space, Signature, under the direction of Eric Schaeffer, gives us the full immersion treatment. Surround seating in the Max theatre brings us close enough to the gangplanks soaring overhead to feel that we could get up and board the ship ourselves. Set designer Paul Tate Depoo solves the problem of magnitude and intimacy – the giant themes have room to sprawl before us while the personal moments the ogling the rich and famous, the dance of lovers, the desperation of the telegraph operator - all find their separate moments and spaces.

But it’s the music that sets this telling apart. The 17-piece orchestra, in full view on its own balcony, accompanies a superb 20-person cast.

The music is grandiose but includes “echoes of Elgar and Vaughan Williams

COURTESY PHOTO BY CHRISTOPHER MUELLER

Christopher Bloch (Captain E.J. Smith), Nick Lehan (Harold Bride), Lawrence Redmond (J. Bruce Ismay), and Bobby Smith (Thomas Andrews) in Titanic at Signature Theatre through January 29.

Want to go?

What: “Titanic” Where: Signature Theatre, 4200 Campbell Ave., Arlington, Va. Call: (703) 820-9771 or visit SigTheatre.org Playing through Jan. 29 mixed with the pennywhistles of the common folk” - a fitting backdrop for the immensity of the new platform from which the designers, builders, and travelers viewed their world – and for the tragedy that awaits them.

Opening with “The Launching” in seven parts, the pride of the crew, the awe of the passengers, and the thrill of setting sail on this momentous maiden voyage culminating in “Godspeed Titanic” by the company sets the tone historically as well as theatrically.

The story flows in a familiar arc, and my only less-than enthusiastic note is in the sameness of the songs that illustrate the optimism in the first half of Act I. By the second half, individual stories begin to emerge.

It’s a given - if not a strength - of the material that no one story can lead another. J. Bruce Ismay (Lawrence Redmond) agitates for greater speed; Capt. Smith (Christopher Bloch) expects a grand retirement cruise; William Murdoch (Kevin McAllister) ambitious for rank but unsure of his skills sings “To Be a Captain”. Far below decks, the stokers labor over pits of red fire, while above them, the passengers go about their diversions, business, and love affairs in the first, second, and third class orbits to which they have been assigned.

Notable performances in this standout cast include Katie McManus as the young Irish contriver, Katie McGowan; Bobby Smith as Thomas Andrews whose vision encompasses the tireless

strivings of humankind “In Every Age”; the silver-throated Tracy Lynn Olivera as second class Alice Beane who wants only to hobnob with the elites and sings “I Have Danced” with her husband Edgar (Russell Sunday); and Nick Lehan in multiple roles, but unforgettable when he plays “Autumn” on the violin. “Autumn”, for Titanic enthusiasts, the ironically signature song of beauty and loss.

Intuitive direction and timing make the moments up to and after collision mesmerizingly taut. What follows in Act II is an immediacy of events that touch on the confusion of crew and awakened passengers as well as a very real triangle of blame between Ismay, Andrews, and Capt. Smith in “The Blame.”

And while the historically correct refusal of Ida Strauss to leave her husband (Florence Lacey and John Wolfe) suspends the action with delicately played tenderness in “Still”, floating debris and Amanda Zieve’s lighting create one of the most stunning effects seen on this stage.

Frank Labovitz’s costuming accurately defines the era as well as the positions of the wearers with colors clustered within classes, and Matthew Gardiner’s choreography from waltzing to rag-time is, as always, accessible to the cast and believably reflective of the story’s context.

“Titanic” the musical could easily – and apparently has – been blown off course in some less than professional stagings; there is, after all, a lot that can go wrong. The Signature production is a splendid reinvention, proving once again that in art, it’s not the ‘what’ but the ‘how.’

Law enforcement work collaboratively in ongoing efforts to fight drugs For Deputy Jose Vazquez it was all in a day’s work.

“I’m used to this sort of thing,” said the 17-year- veteran who recently joined the Culpeper County Sheriff’s Office. At 10 p.m. Jan. 2 Deputy Vazquez encountered a white Cadillac at a convenience store on Route 211 in Amissville. The car matched the description of a car he had been attempting to locate so that he could serve two warrants on Chasity Henry for possession of heroin and possession of an unauthorized substance while in jail just days earlier.

Deputy Vazquez noticed the vehicle driving in an erratic manner in the parking lot of the convenience store.

He followed the vehicle but it sped off. The deputy followed on Route 211 sometimes reaching speeds of 85 mph before coming to a stop at Sturgis Lane. Vazquez approached the stopped car on foot when she sped off.

The deputy jumped back in his cruiser and followed with lights flashing, sometimes reaching speeds of 95 mph. The Cadillac with Vazquez in pursuit crossed into Fauquier County.

The Cadillac turned onto Leeds Manor Road, and then turned onto Old Waterloo Road, then Wilson Road sometimes reaching speeds of 85 mph.

Michelle Lynn Franklin, 43, 200 block E. Spencer St., Culpeper, failure to appear

Jan. 5 Jackie Ferris, 54, 400 block E. Chandler St., Culpeper, failure to appear, revocation of suspended sentence and probation, sentence to community based corrections program or facility Howard Marshall Lewis, 51, 400 block E. Chandler St., Culpeper, assault and battery - family member (third offense) Michael Bruce Hopson, 36, 200 block Berry Hill Road, Orange, probation violation Travis William Berry, 39, Russ Jones Lane, Aroda, revocation of pretrial Lisa Marie Fewell, 24, 7000 block Woodley Heights Drive, Warrenton, driving under the influence of alcohol, abuse and neglect of children endangering health Nicholas Devon McMillan, 22, 100 block Peliso Ave., Orange, possession of schedule I, II controlled substance, probation: violation on felony charge

The fleeing car blew through a stop sign before finally coming to a stop on Free State Road. It stopped, according to Vazquez, because of a mechanical failure.

The two occupants of the Cadillac bailed from the vehicle. The officer recognized Chasity Henry standing by the rear driver’s side of the stopped car. Running from the passenger door was Michael Neece, again someone the deputy knew from an earlier encounter.

The pair ran to a tree line and split up in the woods.

He noticed that Chasity Henry lost her pants and shoes as she fled into the woods. The deputy returned to the car where he found her purse containing among other things, a passport. He had no warrants for Neece and no reason to charge him with anything. At one point another deputy called Neece and told him to come out of the woods – that there was no need for him to run and hide.

Neece refused.

While Culpeper and Fauquier Counties conducted a ground search using dogs in the woods searching for Henry, Fauquier received a call from a resident that a woman was in the caller’s home. When deputies responded she ran up the stairs of the house and tried to escape from a second floor window before being apprehended – shoeless, pantless and shirtless.

Vazquez took custody of Henry from the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office.

She was taken to a hospital where the deputy served her with the two warrants on hand, a warrant for felony

Jan. 6 Victoria Dawn Mollenauer, 20, 2000 block Beautiful Run Road, Orange, possession of schedule I, II controlled substance, possess or distribute controlled paraphernalia Kyle Bryan Stafford, 29, 13000 block Five Staff Lane, Rixeyville, drunk in public, profane language Jose Mendez-Hernandez, 24, 300 block Commerce St., Culpeper, drunk in public, profane language Michael Eugene Braun, 33, 9000 block Conmar Road, Middle River, shoplift alter price/conceal goods, possession of schedule I, II controlled substance Jan. 7 Cesar Agusto Najera, 37, 500 block Meadowbrook Drive, Culpeper, concealment, price alter merchandise, drunk in public, profane language Jan. 8 Fredi Benjamin Gonzalez, 24, 100 block W. Evans St., Culpeper, failure to appear, contempt of court, probation violation on felony charge

eluding and a summons for defective equipment. She is being held without bond.

“The State Police, the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, the Fauquier County Dispatch center, all worked in perfect coordination,” Culpeper Sheriff’s Office Captain Bryant Arrington said of the incident.

Culpeper Sheriff Scott Jenkins said the help from the Fauquier Sheriff’s Office in the chase and search was “outstanding.”

“I really appreciate the cooperation and assistance from them,” he said.

Vazquez originally encountered Neece and Henry on December 29 just before midnight. The deputy stopped Neece for defective equipment on Monumental Mill Road in the Rixeyville area. Chasity Henry was a passenger in the same Cadillac involved in the chase into Fauquier County days later. The deputy noticed what looked like drug paraphernalia in the car as he was talking to Neece. As a result of the stop Neece and Henry were arrested on drug charges and held in jail.

Both were strip searched before being placed in their jail cells.

At 5:15 a.m. while breakfast was being served to inmates jail personnel found Henry on her bunk with a syringe beside her and her laundry bag tied around her right arm. They woke Henry and asked her about her condition.

Upon a secondary strip search they found three small baggies which Henry said contained heroin. They were found near Henry’s anus having been secreted in a body cavity.

Strange Portents THE WINE NERD

Winter is no friend to man. I Jim Hollingshead just returned from a week-long stay in the mountains of Montana, and never has 20 degrees felt so warm as it did stepping off the plane at Dulles.

After days of the thermometer hovering below zero, anything warmer felt downright balmy.

Whether the temperature is below zero in Fahrenheit or only in Celsius, it is helpful to have a couple of standby wines to get through the winter. When needing to warm up, the easiest bottle to reach for is one of the most ignored in America: Port. This fortified wonder, and its sister Madeira, are heavily entrenched in early American history, but are generally left on the bleachers

today. Port is a wine and a half. Like many wonders in the world of alcohol, it was created out of necessity; in this case, to survive voyages. Like the famous IPA of the beer world, the higher-alcohol and heavily-oxidized port was created to withstand voyages around the globe. Today, the winemaking process is easy enough to understand.

Rich red wine is made, and a grape spirit much like brandy is added before fermentation has had time to complete.

This raises the alcohol content and kills off the yeast before it can consume all of the sugar. The result is a murky, powerful sweetness that needs time to calm down.

The port is then stored in barrels to age for years. What makes most port even more unusual is the fact that there is no vintage; each bottle has many years’ grapes blended into it.

Each time a barrel is emptied, some of the old wine is left in to mix with the

Plan to be in the next issue - Call 540-812-2282

fresh, new wine that will be aged with it next. Only in rare, exceptional years is a port made out of only that one year’s wine.

The extended aging in barrels continues to transform the wine. The longer the port sits in the barrel, the more the color changes from a deep red to a lighter brown. Younger Ruby Ports hold their red color, along with more of a juicy sweetness. Older Tawny Ports are drier, nuttier, and paler. Oak and oxygen have robbed them of their bloody hue, leaving the dirty brown. You could argue that older ports have been ruined so badly that they have come full circle to being great again.

As a rule, port is the best thing to pair with a cigar or a pipe. The

rich, often sweet tone of fruits and nuts balances the spice and power of tobacco. My favorite pairing, however, is a heavy-duty blue cheese.

The story of port is that of a wine being ruined so badly that it has come around full circle to being fantastic.

This winter, try pouring yourself a glass when you come in from the cold.

Next to a hot toddy, it’s the best thing to warm you up!

He was born October 29, 1941 in Long Island, NY to the late Harald and Gladys Sigwald Havstad.

Mr. Havstad was a lifelong stamp collector and was a member of a stamp club in Warrenton. He loved nature, was an avid animal protection supporter, a weather enthusiast and sci-fi lover.

He is survived by two daughters, Dawn Havstad Gasteazoro and her husband, Eduardo of Amissville, and Sharon Katzenstein and her husband, Richard of Stillwater, NJ; and four grandchildren, Ryan Sicovitch of Andover, NJ, Keely Katzenstein of Stillwater, NJ, Alex Gasteazoro of Amissville, and Francesca Yowell and her husband, Trevor of Manassas.

culpeper DAILY BREAD: There’s filmmaking going on in Rappahannock but several Culpeper folks are involved like Virginia Morton, author of “Marching through Culpeper” seen here with two of her “students” playing tourists as they photo a bronze statue rendered by art designer Skip Lipman.

Foti’s Restaurant was recreated for the scene as well. See page 7 for details and where to see trailers.

ANGIE LOVES APPLETON: Appleton Campbell has earned the home service industry’s coveted Angie’s List Super Service Award, reflecting an exemplary year of customer service to members for the sixth year in a row. This achievement in 2016 is particularly significant as Angie’s List experienced unprecedented member growth. More than 1.6 million consumers, many of whom were eager to quickly hire qualified service pros, joined Angie’s List after the company added a new, free membership tier. “Companies that can meet higher demands without missing a beat in their exemplary performance standards truly do stand apart from their peers,” said Angie’s List founder Angie Hicks. Angie’s List Super Service Award winners have met strict eligibility requirements, must be in good standing, pass a background check and abide by Angie’s List operational guidelines. “When I started working for my grandfather, he always reminded me that we should treat customers the way we would like to be treated,” says Appleton Campbell President Mike Appleton (l) pictured with Vice-President Scott Wayland ®.
