Bowen earns honors as Beauregard’s longtime manager

By Anita L. Sherman STAFF WRITER

Working the land is hard work.. particularly physically. “It’s tougher and tougher to do,” chuckled Jim Bowen who was the recipient of the Culpeper Chamber’s 2016 Agribusiness of the Year Award. Candi, his wife, who helped for many years with bookkeeping was at his side Monday as several dozen gathered at their home to celebrate the recognition.

Thirty-five years managing farms and Bowen has decided to take a breather.

“It’s time that we’re able to do what we’d like to do...perhaps some traveling,” said Candi who has shared the 24/7 lifestyle of the rigors of managing a farm. Particularly a large one, like Beauregard, more than 3,000 acres devoted to grain and cattle.

Bowen no doubt looks forward to the days when he won’t be talking over the dins of working threshers in the background.

Chamber Chairman Ken Greenfield praised Bowen “as an innovator in the agricultural community” and for “figuring things out.” Bowen garners a reputation for his willing-

ness to help others.

A smiling Al Aitken patted Bowen on the back. “You’ve always been a good conservationist...looking out for the land.”

Farming has been in Bowen’s blood. His current stint at Beauregard since 1981 had him managing 3,500 acres including 300 head of cattle and 10-12 rental properties.

Bowen has also been honored by the National Corn Growing Association.

“Two hundred eighty bushels of corn,” smiled Bowen who shared with the group how technology has changed.

“With VRT (variable rate technology), you can actually sleep while the tractor steers itself,” laughed Bowen.

A working farm, Beauregard has a rich history outside of farming.

The stately house that sits nestled among the acres was built around 1857. Then owned by the James Barbour family, the house was used as a hospital often taking in soldiers from as far away as Manassas. The views from Beauregard Farm looking west are spectacular taking in Brandy Station and beyond to the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Bowen gave kudos to the new

Modest and clearly humbled, Bowen thanked those present for the award. “I really do appreciate this and want to thank you all for coming.”

Culpeper General Registrar hopes voting early leads to voting often Staff report While it’s almost impossible to determine exactly how many firsttime voters went to the polls for the March 1 presidential primaries, there’s no doubt about 43 of them.

That’s the number of 17- year-olds who were able to vote because they will turn 18 before the November 8 General Election. Culpeper County General Registrar James Clements is hoping this early voting will create some lifelong habits.

“All primaries offer a unique opportunity for eligible 17-year-olds, but presidential primaries combine the energy and urgency of a national election with a larger pool of underage voters,” Clements said. “For these 43 young voters, research shows they’re much more likely to make voting a habit.”

Virginia Code (§24.2-403) allows anyone who will turn 18 before the November general presidential election to register to vote and participate in a primary. With the eight-month gap this year between the primaries and general election, approximately two-thirds of all 17-year-olds fall into that window.

Thanks to the efforts of government teachers at both local high schools, many students took advantage.

“One of the things I try to emphasize to my students is that their vote is their voice,” Kendra Stewart, CCHS Government teacher, said.

“We’ve been tracking this election since the beginning of the school year, and it has been edifying to see my students become interested in the electoral process. Helping them to become civically active so early in life has been a truly rewarding experience.”

Clements said his office processed close to 200 applications from high school students, (many having already turned 18), in the first week of February as a result

of the efforts of Stewart and her colleague Thad Eisenhower at Culpeper County High School along with Brad Miller at Eastern View.

At both schools, most students completed their applications online which sent them directly to the registrar.

“We knew the registrations were coming, but we were still amazed by the numbers,” Clements said.

“With online registration, any voter with a driver’s license and a social security number can complete the process without having to print and mail the forms. It makes a big difference, especially with students.”

How did the students feel about their first voting experience?

“It was pretty inspiring, actually,” Katelynn Wentz, CCHS senior, said. “I met a guy who said ‘I’ve never seen a young person vote’ and I thought ‘well, now you’ve met me’.”

Dirk Pitts, also a CCHS senior, added. “It was nice to be able to participate in the process…I feel like I am able to make a difference.”

Brads Budget Superintendent of Schools Dr. Tony Brads presented his FY17 proposed budget before the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors Tuesday evening.

Concise and well organized, Brads budget calls for an additional $3M dollars - $1.5 anticipated from State Revenue and $1.5 requested from the Board.

Focus is on teacher salaries and being competitive. Out of a 13 locality comparison, Culpeper comes in last. Brads proposal would increase the starting salary to roughly $42,000. Bus Drivers and Bus Aides would stand to see an increase as well.

His proposed overall operating budget is $83M. County’s budget is not finalized until May.

I noticed a sign in the window of the building that is attached to the Popeye's Chicken Restaurant that said, "Supercuts Coming Soon." So I have kept my eye on it and one day the sign was gone and I went in. Sure enough they are open for business.

Here are two of their stylists, Myranda Herdman and Ashley Jones, in their brand new shop. It won't be empty for long.

Supercuts is having an official grand opening and ribbon cutting this Friday, March 18, from 4-5 p.m. sponsored by the Culpeper County Chamber of Commerce. Refreshments will be served. ➤ Check out Rich’s blog at facesofculpeperva.blogspot.com and Faces of Culpeper on Facebook

BEHIND THE BADGE Abate’s Marine Corps mentality make him one squared away sergeant He met his wife at a Marine Corps Birthday Ball in Quantico in 1998. He was a Marine MP, she a photographer for the Navy. Both came with the requisite bloodline for his law enforcement calling.

His uncle was a Marine Mustang Officer, his cousin was in the Marines, his grandfather a medic in the Army, his father-in-law a Command Master Chief in the Navy – all bound by oaths of service: like Sgt. Abate is now. Even his oldest son is in the Marines, bound by the same oath of service.

When Culpeper residents retire for the night Sgt. Abate is out and patrolling dark county roads. He says he loves his work. It has a purpose but more so he says he enjoys the “camaraderie “of working with other officers.

“There’s nothing like it,” he said.

His route though law enforcement was as straight and directed as Sgt. Abate presents. He enlisted in the Marines at age 20, served four years as an MP, got out and

After that he moved on to the Rappahannock Sheriff’s Office before coming to the Culpeper Sheriff’s Office.

When he’s not patrolling the county he spends time with his kids, “a fat old Chocolate Lab,” and fine cigars. Sgt. Abate says one of his favorite fishing memories is the time one of his boys hooked onto a five pound bass and reeled it in by himself. From the way the proud father describes the event it sounds as if the fish was as big as the boy.

Sheriff Jenkins says he values the background Sgt. Abate brings to the Sheriff’s Office.

make smoking in a motor vehicle with passengers younger than eight a violation punishable by a civil penalty of $100.

The violation would be a secondary offense, meaning it would affect only individuals who have already been pulled over by police for a traffic violation or other offense.

The Senate passed House Bill 1348 in a vote of 27-12 on March 3. The bill is now in the hands of Gov. Terry McAuliffe.

If signed, the law would

take effect July 1. McAuliffe has until April 11 to act on the legislation.

The bill’s sponsor, Del. Todd E. Pillion, R-Abingdon, is a pediatric dentist.

In support of the legislation, he has cited the harmful effects of secondhand smoke, especially on developing lungs.

When the bill was debated before the House, some delegates voiced opposition to the measure.

to do, how to act,” said Del. Riley E. Ingram, RHopewell.

The legislation defines smoking as any lighted cigarette, pipe or cigar.

“It is unlawful for a person to smoke in a motor vehicle, whether in motion or at rest, when a minor under the age of eight is present in the motor vehicle,” the proposed law states.

Pillion said the bill covers passengers younger than 8 years old because these children already are legally required to be put in car seats.

He said this requirement could assist police officers in determining a child’s age.

The House voted 59-38 in favor of the bill on Feb. 12.

Though subject to a $100 fine, individuals found guilty of violating the law would not face court costs or demerit points on their driving record.

Revenue from the fines would go into the state’s Literary Fund. This program provides for lowinterest loans for school construction, technology funding and support of teacher retirement.

While the age of the child varies, currently there are similar laws prohibiting smoking in a motor vehicle with children in Arkansas, California, Louisiana, Maine, Oregon, Puerto Rico, Utah and Vermont.

Barbour (Peggy) Johnson Weaver Barbour (Peggy) Johnson Weaver, 91, died at Havenwood Manor, Lexington, Virginia, on Friday, February 12, 2016. Born June 6, 1924 in the town of Culpeper, she was the daughter of Robert Ashby Johnson and Esther Apperson Johnson. She graduated from Culpeper High School in 1942 and joined the accounting department of the American Silk Mills in Orange, Virginia. At the end of WWII, while employed at the National Farm Loan Association in Warrenton, she met and married William B. Weaver, Jr., dairyman and Thoroughbred breeder in Fauquier, Prince William, and Rappahannock Counties.

While living in Nokesville, she kept books for McMichael´s Service Center and for her husband´s farming business. She was also directly involved in the farming effort and was tireless in her support of the family´s Thoroughbred breeding, showing, and sales operation.

In 1989, she was invited to participate in the Dwight D. Eisenhower People-to-People exchange program. She toured horse businesses in Poland, Czechoslovakia, and the USSR as a representative of family owned and operated horse breeding farms in the US. She was preceded in death by her husband, her parents, and her sister, Anne Johnson Wood. Surviving are her daughter, Delia Weaver Hoeffel and her son-in-law, Kenneth M. Hoeffel, Jr. of Rockbridge Baths, Virginia, and her granddaughter, Delia Teel Hoeffel of Atlanta, Georgia.

Graveside services at the Sperryville Cemetery are being planned for an undetermined date in the Spring. Memorial contributions can be made to the Rockbridge SPCA, 10 Animal Place, Lexington, VA 24450.

“Like a Breath of Fresh Air”

• • • • •

Culpeper’s community hospital had its beginnings more than five decades ago. Built on the backs of volunteers and supported by businesses and the medical community, the hospital gave birth to a new era in Culpeper providing a place closer to home when it came time for that baby to be born or a medical emergency.

Now under the umbrella of the University of Virginia Health System, UVA Culpeper Hospital is vastly improved and enriched offering the latest medical technologies and services to its patients.

Tuesday afternoon original staff members, friends and families and current administrators and board members gathered for a walk down memory lane as the hospital commemorated the 56th anniversary

of Culpeper’s hospital. UVA Culpeper Hospital CEO Greg Napps gave a brief presentation of where the hospital has been and what the future holds with its recent partnership with Novant Health.

One of those near future goals will be to bring behavioral health to the hospital in conjunction with Novant.

Another near future addition to the hospital will be with the launch of 3D Mammography. Capable of creating a three dimensional image of the breast, this technology allows doctors to better detect abnormalities and lowers the frequency of "false alarms." This new technology will be launching at the hospital in April thanks to an extremely generous contribution in the amount of $500,000.00 by the ladies auxiliary to help defray the cost.

VIEWS EDITORIAL What’s Happening

Freitas has two bills signed by Governor MCauliffe

In this week’s issue you will notice an expanded What’s Happening section. It’s springtime and we’re ready to leap into a new season with a fresh and expanded offering when it comes to all that makes Culpeper and this region vibrant and worth visiting.

Culpeper will always be center stage on these pages in terms of things going on but there is lots happening to share from our surrounding neighbors.

In fact, too numerous to list all but we’re giving it a good shot.

And, you’ll notice a change to the front design. We’re still the Culpeper Times. That isn’t going to change but we’ve added The Weekend Paper to our masthead.

Coming out weekly each Thursday, we’re finding that many of our readers grab the paper to see what’s going on at The State Theatre or the Library of Congress or Stage Alive or the Museum or a school play or church picnic or to learn about the latest deals from our advertisers. It’s all good, it’s all about community and sharing the many opportunities to connect.

Speaking of grabbing, you may have noticed that there are more and more racks out there in the county and town where you can pick up the weekly paper free. As one of our

The 2016 Virginia General Assembly came to a close the first part of March. Delegate Freitas had his second bill signed into law

by Governor McAuliffe. One final bill awaits the Governor’s signature.

Additionally, HJ 409, a resolution commending SFC Charles Martland, has been agreed to by both the House and Senate.

Having garnered 148 co-sponsors, HJ 409 is one of the largest bipartisan resolutions of the 2016 session. A copy of HJ 409 will now be submitted to Secretary of Defense Ash Carter “as an expression of the General Assembly’s admiration of SFC Marland’s valiant and honorable service.” Additionally, a bipartisan letter in support of SFC martland containing 28 signatures on behalf of the Military and Veteran Caucus will be sent to Secretary Carter.

Delegate Freitas delivered a passionate defense of SFC Charles Martland on the floor of the House of Delegates on Feb. 18. SFC Martland is being considered for discharge

avid readers remarked, “I see you everywhere.”

Every week we list all the locations where The Culpeper Times is available and that includes racks in Fauquier, Orange and Madison counties. We are the most widely distributed newspaper in Culpeper and remember, it’s spring, and we’re into growing.

It was a year ago this week March 19, 2015 - that we changed our overall format from a broadsheet to a tab format. Folks responded well from the outset to the new design and throughout the year we’ve added new regular features like Salute to Our Veterans and Biz Bios. Our real estate section, which appears the second week of each month, is growing and then there’s Home and Garden and Let’s Eat. We are optimistic that you will enjoy the expanded What’s Happening section. It speaks and partners with the growing vibrancy that is Culpeper from its shops, restaurants and businesses to the cultural renaissance that is happening with the arts venues.

Join us on this journey as we continue to be your local paper that is ever on the lookout to be better and better.

It’s springtime, let’s see what’s happening.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Supervisors need to consider pump and haul policy carefully I understand that the Board of Supervisors will be considering a permanent sewage pump and haul request filed by a would-be developer for land under contract at 14434 Rixeyville Road. Pump and haul requests historically come from property owners to address an emergency situation in an occupied building with a failed septic system. The existing structure, an unoccupied house, does not appear to be habitable and has no septic

after he defended a local village boy and his mother.

Here is an update on other bills.

HB 760 - Expanding Government Transparency. This requires the Auditor of Public Accounts to update the transparency website to provide more information on government spending and to make information easier to find.

Awaiting Governor’s signature HB 1341 - Veterans Services Foundation. This makes changes to the membership of the Veterans Services Foundation to ensure a balanced representation among the officer and enlisted ranks as well as the various branches of the armed services.

Signed by the Governor, scheduled to take effect June 1 HB 1350 - Distillery Tastings.

This increases the size of tastings Virginia’s distilleries may offer to potential customers to three ounces.

Signed by the Governor, scheduled to take effect June 1 Delegate Freitas represents the 30th House District which includes all of Madison and Orange County and a portion of Culpeper County. He was elected in November 2015. For any questions or concerns, please contact his office at (804) 698-1030 or through email at DelNFreitas@House.virginia.

system in place because the land will not support one. The VA Health Department’s policy is to grant temporary or permanent pump and haul status to owners of currently occupied structures with no other viable options for dealing with sewage disposal.

The Board of Supervisors should carefully consider its pump and haul policy to avoid setting a precedent that will benefit developers, not citizens of Culpeper County trying to deal with a genuine hardship!

Sunday is the official first day of spring. Although there are some reports of some chilly days ahead, the sun and warmer winds are always welcome gifts at this time of year. A time of renewal and recharging, spring is a time for planting. Sunday is also Palm Sunday and the beginning of Holy Week services leading to Easter. Let’s celebrate a new season.

Minimum insurance leaves drivers vulnerable to uninsured and underinsured negligent drivers If you drive a car in the Commonwealth of Virginia, you are required by law to carry liability insurance of at least $25,000 of coverage per claimant with a cap of $50,000 if multiple claims arise from the same accident.

There are additional optional coverages to complete what people often describe as “full coverage.” Many people, however, who believe they are adequately protected because they have “full coverage,” can unfortunately find that they are actually at risk, and often victimized, because they failed to purchase coverage amounts that insure against the negligence of someone else. While negligent drivers are generally liable for the costs arising from their negligence, the insurance coverage of the claimant is often the only resource available to satisfy a judgement against the at-fault driver. Therefore many personal injury victims do not receive compensation because they, themselves, did not purchase adequate insurance.

The risk is obvious when a driver commits the criminal act of driving without any insurance whatsoever.

However, a lesser, but still substantial, risk may present itself when an

LAW SENSE

Rex Edwards

individual is injured by a negligent driver who is abiding by the law and carrying the minimum insurance.

For example, assume Sue is seriously injured by the acts of Dee Linquent, a negligent driver. Sue incurs medical bills of $50,000, and even with the best efforts of medical science, suffers a permanent disability that limits her quality of life and future earning potential. If Dee was abiding by Virginia law and had a minimum limits policy, then the insurance company insuring him would be responsible for paying $25,000 towards Sue’s total damage claim (which would be far greater than the $25,000 policy limit given the amount of medical bills and degree of injury).

If Dee has no other liability insurance, then Sue would look to her own insurance company for “underinsured” coverage. However, if Sue’s insurance is also minimum limits, then her own insurance company would have no obligation to contribute towards her injury claim and her total recovery would be only $25,000. If Dee had no insurance whatsoever, then instead of receiving a goose egg, Sue would make an uninsured claim against her own policy and would be entitled to receive the $25,000 of uninsured benefits. Under both scenarios, Sue would be better positioned to be fully compensated for her injuries if she had higher underinsured/uninsured liability coverage limits.

In these economic times, people understandably don’t want to pay excessive insurance premiums. We often justify carrying lower limits out of the optimistic belief that we will drive responsibly and without error. However, because underinsured and uninsured coverages are almost always sold at the same level as the liability coverage, the greater risk to ourselves of being injured by every other driver on the roadway is often overlooked when making this important financial decision.

In reviewing your auto insurance, consider the value of the underinsured/uninsured coverage equal to, or even greater than, the value of the liability coverage and set the coverage amounts at a level adequate to protect yourself in the event of a catastrophic accident. Think about medical payments coverage, an additional protection that is often remarkably inexpensive and indifferent to fault. Consideration should be given to the possible presence of additional sources of insurance such as life and disability insurance. In the absence of such other insurance, if you are in an accident, the automobile liability policy may be the only thing protecting you and your family from financial hardship.

AUTOMOTIVE SHOWCASE Getting your vehicle ready for summer Summer's heat, dust, and stop-and-go traffic, will take their toll on your vehicle. Add the effects of last winter, and you could be poised for a breakdown.

You can lessen the odds of mechanical failure through periodic maintenance. Your vehicle should last longer and command a higher resale price, too!

Some of the following tips are easy to do; others require a skilled auto technician.

Air Conditioning A marginally operating system will fail in hot weather. Have the system examined by a qualified technician. Newer models have cabin air filters that clean the air entering the heating and air conditioning system. Check your owner's manual for location and replacement interval Cooling System The greatest cause of summer breakdowns is overheating. The cooling system should be completely flushed and refilled about every 24 months. The level, condition, and concentration of the coolant should be checked periodically.

(A 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water is usually recommended.) DIYers, never remove the radiator cap until the engine has thoroughly cooled! The tightness and condition of drive belts, clamps, and hoses should be checked by a pro.

idling, stalling, diminished power, etc.) corrected at a good shop.

Windshield Wipers A dirty windshield causes eye fatigue and can pose a safety hazard. Replace worn blades and get plenty of windshield washer solvent.

Tires Have your tires rotated about every 5,000 miles.

Check tire pressures once a month; check them while they're cold before driving for any distance.

Don't forget to check your spare as well and be sure the jack is in good condition. Examine tires for tread life, uneven wearing, and cupping; check the sidewalls for cuts and nicks. An alignment is warranted if there's uneven tread wear or if your vehicle pulls to one side.

Brakes Brakes should be inspected as recommended in your manual, or sooner if you notice pulsations, grabbing, noises, or longer stopping distance. Minor brake problems should be corrected promptly.

Oil Change your oil and oil filter as specified in your manual more often (every 3,000 miles) if you make frequent short jaunts, extended trips with lots of luggage, or tow a trailer.

Visit these local businesses for all your automotive needs!

Battery Batteries can fail any time of year. The only accurate way to detect a weak battery is with professional equipment. Routine care: Scrape away corrosion from posts and cable connections; clean all surfaces; re-tighten all connections. If battery caps are removable, check the fluid level monthly.Avoid contact with corrosive deposits and battery acid.

Wear eye protection and rubber gloves.

Lights Inspect all lights and bulbs; replace burned out bulbs; periodically clean dirt and insects from all lenses. To prevent scratching, never use a dry rag.

Emergencies Carry some basic tools — ask a technician for suggestions. Also include a first aid kit, flares, and a flashlight.

Walton’s film chosen for national premiere

➤ Rappahannock resident will show his film at Tribecca Film Festival Staff Report

Rappahannock resident Bill Walton’s most recent film, “The Ticket,” has been chosen as one of 10 films – from a pool of 6,626 hopefuls – to compete for top honors next month in the Tribecca Film Festival’s US Narrative Competition.

Walton, chairman of Rush River Entertainment, produced the independent film in New York in collaboration with Lawrence Inglee of Blackbird Productions.

“The Ticket” tells the story of decisions faced and choices made when a blind man inexplicably regains his vision and becomes possessed by a drive for a better life—a nicer home, a higher paying job—leaving little room for the people who were part of his old life. Dan Stevens, Malin Akerman, Oliver Platt, and Kerry Bishé, star in this haunting parable of desire, perception, and ambition.

Walton, who lives in Harris Hollow, is chairman and founder of Rappahannock Ventures LLC, Rush River Entertainment and The Forge Studios – a Rappahannock-based independent film studio concentrating on science fiction and fantasy content. He is an investor of Rappahannock Media which owns the Rappahannock News.

“As a producer, my greatest desire is for audiences to have a chance to connect with this story and these characters,” said Walton. “Tribeca gives us the best opportunity to showcase our film and celebrate the young talent who brought the story to life. We are honored to have our film premiere as a part of the US Narrative Competition (April 16).”

Now in its 15th year, the Tribecca Film Festival was founded by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff in 2001 following the attacks on the World Trade Center. It has evolved from an annual event to spur the economic and cultural revitalization of lower Manhattan to a gathering place for filmmakers, artists, innovators, and the global creative community.

In addition to “The Ticket,” Wal-

Culpeper Times • March 17-23, 2016 ➤ Wild, from Page 24 miles of looping, intersecting trails, offering lots of options for easy to moderate hikes.

In February, I headed for the preserve to hike, starting with the easy, one-mile “Yellow Loop” trail, which circles the top of Chestnut Ridge, named for its chestnut oak. The day was gray, with a bit of sunlight struggling through the thin clouds, and a fairly brisk, chilly wind coming up from the south.

On the way to the trailhead, I ran into VOF’s manager of the preserve, Robert Stuart. A young, amiable guy, he’d assumed the job last April. When I asked him how he liked the preserve so far, he responded “a lot . . . it’s a beautiful piece of land.”

I headed on to the trailheads, which were beyond a gate and across a track of the Norfolk Southern Railroad. The track is still in use, as I discovered when I had to wait for a train to go through on my return.

As I arrived at the trailhead, a pileated woodpecker flew over, announcing its presence with its goony cry. The forest was pretty bare of snow as well as leaves, offering a fairly clear

view of Catlett’s Branch, in the valley below. I welcomed the green relief moss and a patch mountain laurel along the trail brought.

After the Yellow Loop, I sampled some trails on the west side of the preserve, starting with the Green Loop.

Passing some remains of a stone house and historic Beverley Mill (just outside the preserve), and lovely Broad Run to the south, between the railroad tracks and I-66, the trail soon turned north, away from the highway and entered Fern Hollow. Interpretive signs there noted the location of several species of fern, but this time of year only the coldhearty, evergreen Christmas fern was visible, lying prostrate against the ground after the recent snow and cold weather.

The sound of I-66 started to recede a bit as the trail wound around past the closed-off trails to High Point.

Going down a sheltered, still-snowy hill, the trail bent east along a small stream that ran through a narrow ravine. The banks were lush with mountain laurel, ferns and moss — undoubtedly a great spot on a hot summer day. Coming out of the ravine,

the stream joined Catlett’s Branch, and nearby was a wonderful field of large, lichen-covered boulders, apparently spawned from a low rock outcrop.

Following Catlett’s Branch, I headed south on the trail, coming to what looked like a huge, crab-like monster emerging from the stream. In reality, it was an old tree that had fallen across the stream.

On one side its huge, gnarled roots bent over to look like a bunch of tangled legs. On the other side, its branches reached out from the end of the large, heavily graffitied trunk. In between, the stream flowed over the narrower “body” of the tree.

I veered away from the stream, taking what seemed like the most direct trail back, and found the one bit of trash I’d seen all day — an empty plastic water bottle, which I carried back with me. I also heard, for the first time since I started hiking, the sound of people, laughing along the stream.

After I got home, I wondered what the preserve would look like in spring, so I emailed Michael Kieffer, the executive director of the Bull Run Mountains Conservancy.

Asking first about the health of the streams, Kieffer described them as “pristine.”

But he expressed concern that they could run dry from groundwater being pumped out through the increasing number of wells as development grows around the preserve.

The streams in it are mainly fed by groundwater pushing up in the form of springs and seepages, he said.

Kieffer is also concerned about

How to cook like a professional chef at home (StatePoint) Every home baker or chef has asked the same question at some point: why don’t my cakes or dishes look and taste like the ones from my favorite restaurant? The answer: culinary professionals know secrets and tricks that most home chefs don’t.

Some of these are simple and easy to adopt in your kitchen.

Position Wisely Pans should be as close to the center of your oven as possible for even cooking. And don’t allow pans to touch oven walls or each other.

It’s all about airflow and circulation.

Place pans on different racks if you are cooking in them concurrently and align them so they are slightly offset (but close to the center of each rack), to allow heated air to circulate nicely.

Avoid Cold Ingredients Avoid using cold eggs because mixtures with them won’t emulsify properly. Don’t use hard, cold butter.

Softened butter is better for leavening baked goods and creating an airy, tender texture. And when cooking with it, cold butter doesn't melt consistently to flavor vegetables and you often wind up scalding it in the pan.

Leaving butter on the counter for an hour to soften up is time consuming,

and it still won’t distribute evenly and can leave a mess of leftover butter.

A better alternative is the new Biem butter sprayer, a first-of-its-kind kitchen tool that lets users convert a stick of real butter from solid to liquid spray in seconds. It controls portioning so you use less butter, uses no chemical propellants and leaves the unused portion un-melted and in stick form, ready to return to the fridge.

More information is available at www. biemspray.com.

Avoid Substitutions Use exactly what a recipe lists. For example, if a recipe specifies sugar, use white granulated sugar. Brown sugar or raw sugar doesn’t have the same consistency as granulated sugar. And substitutions like agave or maple syrup don’t have the same chemistry and will impact the science behind the recipe.

If a recipe calls for butter, using something else, particularly something artificial, will color the flavor. Imitation butter sprays are chock full of additives and artificially-flavored oils that just don’t taste like the real thing. Always use real, natural ingredients.

“I’ve been around long enough to live through the evolution of butter to margarine and the eventual discoveries of trans fats and their impact to our

New CRI director enjoying the ‘Culpeper Experience’ ➤ One of Goldstein's first projects is new 'pocket' park

By Wally Bunker TIMES CONTRIBUTOR

In September last year, Dan Goldstein sat in a town council meeting watching a presentation

by Culpeper Renaissance Inc. (CRI) Interim Executive Director Jeff Sadler about the “Culpeper Experience” and what CRI needed to do to bolster and expand the downtown shopping and dining experience.

“I thought it was very well done,” said Goldstein about Sadler’s presentation. “It helped identify areas of Culpeper we could improve.”

The presentation highlighted deficiencies in the types of shops and additional family restaurants that other localities of similar size attract.

Goldstein, who was taking over as Culpeper’s Main Street Program executive director, took it all in.

Now, along with well-trained and enthusiastic staff of one full-time and one part-time employee, the 41-year-old Washington, D.C., native is helping develop the Culpeper experience.

“We want to increase opportunities and options and make it more attractive to visitors,” said Goldstein.

One of Goldstein’s first major projects is the design, creation and funding for the E.B. Wood Community Park in the 100 block of North Main Street. The now-vacant lot once was home to a Masonic Lodge, restaurant and other businesses.

The building believed to have been constructed before the Civil War was severely damaged in the August 2011 earthquake and ruled an unsafe building due to structural damage. It was demolished and the stucco walls to adjoining buildings replastered.

However, the past few years Mother Nature has taken a toll on the adjacent buildings where the stucco has fallen off and holes developed, exposing old crumbling brick. In addition, broken bottles and debris has collected onsite.

To create the pocket park, with four tables, brick walkways, benches, chairs and planters will cost between $40,000 and $50,000 to complete. CRI signed a three-year lease with the property’s owner at no cost to CRI. “They are making it pro bono to us,” said Goldstein.

The park will enhance the value with the improvements. Goldstein said the walls to the adjoining

buildings will be patched and prefabricated painted corrugated metal walls constructed.

“We are literally going to cover (the exposed walls) up,” said Goldstein The gated park will also be closed at night.

“We are working with the police department on security measures,” said Goldstein.

A storage area will be set aside at the rear of the park on an existing concrete slab to store trash carts for the A.P. Hill Building next door.

Goldstein said the prefabricated walls, planters and other amenities can be easily removed if the property owners have another use for the property after three years.

Goldstein has already received a $12,500 grant for the park but more is needed. Fundraising is Goldstein’s forte. He served as fundraiser for 10 years at the Smithsonian Institute. But as a fundraiser for the Smithsonian he never really got to see tangible results after he raised the money and handed it over to the curator.

“With a job like this, my fingerprints are going to be all over the park,” said Goldstein.

He hopes that local businesses and individuals will donate cash or in-kind services to make the pocket park a reality, He also served as a fundraiser for a private company responsible for the new museum at the Gettysburg Battlefield.

Goldstein, who was raised in Prince George's County, Maryland and lived in Spotsylvania County since 1985, found the CRI executive position as an opportunity he couldn’t resist.

The married father of two children, a boy and girl, is fascinated with history, both Civil War and American Revolution.

“It played a big part,” said Goldstein, a High Point University U.S. history graduate, with an interest in archeology, about applying.

He also appreciated that CRI was a small and established Main Street Program, plus Culpeper was close to his home. The historical and preservation aspect in downtown was appealing as well.

“It intrigued me because it was a local job and because it fit in with what I was interested in,” said the former curator and development director at the Fredericksburg Area Museum that closed in April 2015 due to funding problems.

Goldstein had been on the job for only a few days last year when he attended a manager’s meeting in South Boston. When he told those attending that he was from Culpeper, Goldstein said he was shocked

PHOTO BY WALLY BUNKER

The new executive director of Culpeper Renaissance, Inc. Dan Goldstein is able to see beyond the blight and to brighter days for this spot in downtown Culpeper which is slated to be a small park. at the rave reviews the town’s revitalization efforts received. CRI has been operating since 1987.

“Culpeper is one of the oldest Main Street Programs,” said Goldstein. “We are held up as a model. I was very proud to hear that.”

The state is invested in Culpeper’s program and its success is being looked at on the national level, said Goldstein.

The new CRI director also cherishes the great working relationship with town government, which allocates $150,000 annually to help fund CRI. He said the town staff has been phenomenal to work with on various proposed projects, including the pocket park.

He noted from his manager’s meeting that two close by localities lack that kind of relationship.

Besides the park project, Goldstein would like to see upstairs vacant space above some of the downtown shops turned into apartments. He also would like to see the now vacant building once the home

to Culpeper Human Services and Foti’s Restaurant near the Depot house retail shops on the ground floor and apartments above. Expansion of the revitalization footprint from Davis Street – although Goldstein notes that is not done – would bring more opportunities for both businesses and visitors alike.

South East Street holds potential for expansion with the addition of a brewery and office space, along with several shops from U.S. Avenue toward Davis Street. He envisions new sidewalks and historic lighting for the area, which would direct foot traffic to that area of downtown.

“We see that area as light industrial,” said Goldstein and prime for green businesses.

Goldstein has rolled up his sleeves and is ready for the many tasks ahead.
