Often asked if they would consider carrying pastries and macarons, they listened. Their search began but nothing they found matched their uncompromising approach to quality.

They now offer 12 single serving sized hand-crafted French pastries and seven different flavors of macarons.

Palmer Memorial Fund. Established in 2007, the Meade M. Palmer Memorial Fund honors the memory of the prominent Fauquier County architect and community volunteer. Funds are slated to support charitable causes in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, and Rappahannock Counties, and this year Culpeper nonprofits came out on top.

Body Worn Cameras to be considered in town budget By Anita L. Sherman STAFF WRITER

Town Manager Chris Hively presented his proposed FY17 budget to town council members at a special meeting held last Thursday, March 17. With a proposed operating budget of roughly $16M one proposed item could necessitate a tax increase. Two of the highest priorities in his budget are a proposed merit pay increase of 2 percent costing $129,221. The other is body worn cameras coming in at $110,035. This amount would replace aging in-car cameras and electronic weapons (tasers) in an integrated approach including the body worn cameras. “This is not Ferguson,” voiced councilman Pranas Rimeikis who urged his fellow councilman to take a close look at the purchase of body worn cameras in terms of the costs. “The jury is still out on the real benefits when you think of the costs.” Hively shared with members that beyond the initial purchase costs, it is estimated that an additional $57,000 could be used annually for maintenance and storage costs.

“I think that people may have gotten the wrong impression. I’m in favor of them but I want the public to be fully aware of the costs and what that will mean.”.” Pranas Rimeikis Culpeper Town Council New to council Jamie Clancey did not voice opposition but wondered at the possibility of getting grants to help defray the costs. Rimeikis later qualified his remarks. “I think that people may have gotten the wrong impression,” said Rimeikis Tuesday. “I’m in favor of them but I want the public to be fully aware of the costs and what that will mean.” Other jurisdictions While the subject of equipping the town’s police with body cameras may be new territory in Culpeper, other Virginia jurisdictions have moved or are moving in that direction. The Town of Leesburg’s town

It is worn on the chest. manager Kaj Dentler has proposed adding $200,000 to their FY proposed budget but would defer the expenditure until later in FY17 when a new Chief of Police is hired. Outgoing Chief Joseph Price is supportive of the request and believes the body cameras will work in concert with in-car cameras. For the Leesburg Police Depart-

ment it’s about safety, accountability and transparency. In Virginia’s capital city of Richmond, the police department applied and received funding to purchase body cameras from the Governor’s Office on Criminal Justice. In February of this year, 40 ➤ See Cameras, Page 6

officers were equipped with body cameras with plans to equip 200 by the end of May and more beyond that. The city of Richmond currently has 696 patrol officers. Richmond’s Chief of Police Alfred Durham is proud of this accomplishment and believes that the use of body cameras is positive for the police department and the public. In Charlottesville, Police Chief Tim Longo has been working for several years to bring in body cameras. With equipment (that they are renting for five years) now in, plans are underway for officers to be equipped and have training this spring. Charlottesville’s town council believes the department is on the right track. TASER, International, one of the largest suppliers of body cameras with several models and various options for training, data storage and maintenance appears to be the supplier of choice for jurisdictions. Fredericksburg and the Town of Orange were proactive early on in acquiring body cameras. Fredericksburg’s Chief of Police David Nye equipped 72 officers in May 2014. For Chief of Police James Fenwick he made the decision in 2011 to equip himself and his 11 officers with body cameras. Both have reported that the move has been positive. One the strongest proponents of body cameras and a jurisdiction close to home is the Town of Warrenton in neighboring Fauquier County. “We got them five years ago,” said Chief of Police Lou Battle. “We’re into our second generation.” Battle said their first round was acquired through a grant with the Virginia Municipal League. “I outfitted the entire department...that’s 25 officers.” Warrenton’s town council budgeted for the second round. Battle admits that there’s “a lot to it” between the initial purchase and follow up maintenance and storage which can be done via a cloud format. ‘It’s worth it...definitely worth it,” said

“‘It’s worth it...definitely worth it. The cameras show how we handle our calls... both the officers and the public have to think twice... it regulates conduct on both sides..” Lou Battle Town of Warrenton Police Chief Battle who said the cameras work both ways. “The cameras show how we handle our calls...both the officers and the public have to think twice...it regulates conduct on both sides.” While some body cameras work in tandem with in-car cameras, Battle has both and likes it that way. The way Battle sees it, technology is becoming more and more a part of their tool set and the use of body cameras for Warrenton’s town police has proven to be a positive move. “The use of body cameras has become mainstream in many parts of the country...there’s a need for it and it benefits the police.” Just as the public’s behavior can be scrutinized so it is for the officer. “If I get a complaint about an officer, I’ll look at the video and it will tell me if that complaint is justified..it’s all on camera,” said Battle who said that submitting video from body cameras has become part of court procedure. “I wholeheartedly support any department considering body worn cameras,” emphasized Battle. “It is a lot of money but we rely more and more on technology. Public safety comes with a price.” Town council met with the public safety/ public works committee Wednesday morning to hear a detailed presentation about the police department’s request for body worn cameras. A final decision is still weeks away as the budget process continues into April and May. Anita Sherman may be reached at anita@ culpepertimes.com

USINESSES TO KNOW IN & AROUND OUR COMMUNITY

Belmont Distillery prepares for opening day By Anita L. Sherman STAFF WRITER

“We’ve got work to do to get ready but we’re getting there,” said Jeannette Miller Tuesday as she worked her way through Belmont Distillery’s museum and main lobby. “These rocking chairs will go on the porch...and I’ve got to paint.” In another room, employees were busy assembling boxes. And back in the heart of the operation where the still is literally perking away husband Chuck Miller and fast friend Tim Smith are laughing, joking and also helping prepare for opening season which is the first Saturday in April. “We’ve been up since 4:30 a.m…. on a run to Richmond,” smiled Smith who is renowned for his fame as a television star and his product Climax Moonshine - named after his hometown. Sitting on a desk next to Climax Moonshine is his second creation Climax Fire Chief 32. “I am the fire chief in Climax,” said Smith noting that a portion of the

sales goes to help the fire department. “It’s good...has a hint of cinnamon in it.” Miller, sporting his familiar hat, flannel shirt and moustache, and Smith had just returned from Richmond where they’d made a delivery to the ABC distributor. “It’s all legal now,” they both laugh reminiscing about Robert Mitchum’s Thunder Road. On June 13, 2013, Smith went legal with his moonshine operation. He now produces and distributes his Climax Moonshine nationwide all from this location in Culpeper. “It goes to 42 states,” he said. For Chuck and Jeannette, they’ve been doing what they do for more than 30 years and have no intention stopping. Belmont Distillery heralds as the first craft distillery of American Whiskey in the United States. Their large copper pot makes whiskey the way it has been done for decades. Their products including Virginia Lightening Corn Whiskey and Kopper Kettle Virginia Whiskey and Vodka come in subtle flavors including Spiced Rum and Apple Pie.

Come on out Saturday, April 2, from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. for a tour and tastings. Come early, the lines were long last year. Pictured are owners Chuck and Jeanette Miller along with Tim Smith who produces and distributes his Climax Moonshine nationwide from their operation. Family owned and operated, at Belmont Distillery they grow their own corn, harvest it, store it and grind it in preparation for an old recipe. The Millers met Smith at a Moonshine Jamboree in 1999. In the works for the future is expansion and the addition of another still. Chuck Miller is optimistic about the creation of a Virginia Whiskey Trail. “We’re having our first meeting next week,” said Miller of a gathering in Lovettsvillet where a number of

Virginia whiskey makers will meet to discuss the logistics. “Why not add whiskey,” said Jeannette, “there are wine trails and beer trails.” The friendship between these three is obvious and keen. They love what they do, they love their product and they love sharing it. It’s as rich as the Virginia countryside and steeped in heritage. “Try a little in your coffee,” smiled Miller.

In fact, she was so focused that she overlooked a major career milestone unfolding on her team’s home field. The goals kept coming for Johnson in the first half, and then she noticed that her teammates were becoming increasingly excited. She had six goals and the Devilettes led 14-3 at the half. “It was just a normal hard-fought game until the end of the first half when I had scored my third goal. My teammates Megan Sheesley and Georgia Osborne ran up to me and started telling me I was close to my hundredth goal,” said Breqlyne Johnson. “I didn’t realize how close I was to scoring my 100th goal. I thought I was around the high 80s…then when it happened in the second half I was surprised.” Sometimes the best gifts are surprises. Her seventh goal had the crowd cheering. Johnson scored eight goals in a 17-7 victory over the visiting Fluvanna Flucos. Goals seven and eight were her 100th and 101st career goals respectively. Her 100th goal unfolded in a dramatic way. Johnson isolated the keeper then she rattled the net with a forceful shot. Play stopped momentarily as her coach, fans and teammates applauded her milestone. “It was a joyful feeling. I had to work hard for it, but I’ve worked hard ever since I started playing,” said Johnson the next day at practice. “We won, but it was a physical game with plenty of bumps and bruises. It was a great moment.” The physicality of lacrosse is what drew Johnson to the sport initially in her seventh grade year. “I like the aggressiveness and the history of the game,” explained Johnson. “It’s an original American sport invented by Native Americans. I am certainly proud of my own Native American ancestry in my family.”

Culpeper’s junior Breqlyne Johnson made history scoring more than 100 goals in her lacrosse career...and she’s got more games to play.

The warrior spirit of lacrosse contrasts well with Johnson’s other sports indoor track and competition cheerleading. She is also an accomplished singer in her church and she recently competed in the Miss Culpeper Scholarship pageant. At 3-1 Culpeper is a team that appears to be improving with each game. Johnson and her teammates want to put the Devilettes on the map as a team to be respected. Coaches and teammates praise her pace, heart and leadership. “I like that we are coming together as a team,” said Johnson. “I think that my teammates Megan Sheesley and Alex Richards have been outstanding so far. Richards has even been called my mini-me. I like the chemistry that our team is gaining.” Johnson has outstanding grades and she’s optimistic about creating more opportunities to take her skills to the next level. “I’ve looked at Bridgewater College, but I’m still exploring my options,” said Johnson. Family is also extremely important to Johnson. “They are the reason I can do what I can do, they work hard to make sure I have what I have each lacrosse season,” said Johnson. “I’m so grateful and fortunate that my parents have supported me and given me the opportunity to play lacrosse. They’ve been there for me the entire way.” Marshall Conner is a freelance contributor with the Culpeper Times. You may reach him at kelpiescot@gmail.com

Culpeper Times • March 24-30, 2016 ➤ Mowers, from Page 10 attitude that Manny and Gail want to promote not only in terms of education but to ensure the future of the American alpacas. Customer service is an oft touted phrase that many companies claim. For Manny and Gail, keeping it passionate and personal is a hallmark of how they do business. Keeping their operation tractable, enables Manny and Gail to provide superior customer care to their existing and new clients. As an agritourism draw, Platinum Alpacas has been on Culpeper’s Harvest and Farm Tour in the past and will be on this year’s tour. The alpacas at Platinum come from a long line of industry-recognized bloodlines originating from Peru, Chile and Bolivia. Wonderfully soft and luminous yarns are made from their fur as well as a host of products from stuffed animals to scarfs, blankets and coats. The farm sits on 14 acres divided into fenced areas for the alpacas but with plenty of open area as well. Those grassy knolls are beautifully cut and, as with a lawn and yard of any size, require regular maintenance and conscientious care. “I’m retired but want to stay busy,” says Manny Jaume who decided to launch another expansion of Platinum Alpacas. During the past

years, they also started a business importing products from Peru. Platinum Lawn Services, LLC has its debut this month. “We’re primarily focused on serving Culpeper, Fauquier and Rappahannock,” says Jaume who has invested in mowing equipment and necessary vehicles. “We’re ready,” smiles Jaume, “bring on the work.” As they have partnered with Platinum Alpacas, the two will tag team the management of their lawn care service with Manny as the contact point handling marketing and staff while Gail takes care of the accounting and books. While corn mazes generally make their appearance in the fall, Platinum Lawn Services has a rather unique twist that they plan to offer if you have the space and inclination to have your lawn be more than a carpet of green. Labyrinth lawns, with the grass cut at different heights, can turn your lawn into pristine paths aside from the overall design that is created. “I’m thinking that churches might find this attractive on their grounds...providing walking paths for quiet meditation,” says Manny. As with the mission of their alpaca business, they are initially keeping it small and manageable with a focus on customer service and satisfaction. Lawn care services are competitive. Theirs is a philosophy that if

Gail look at each other and smile. “We’re ready to get started and we’re excited.” Hopefully winter has had its last blast for the year and the season for mowing and mulching moves into prime time.

Help shape the future of Culpeper’s recreational offerings If you go

By Marshall Conner TIMES CONTRIBUTOR

Few things are as powerful as the power of public participation in shaping the future of recreation plans at the county government level. Next Wednesday, on March 30th (at 6:45 p.m.) the public is encouraged to attend an Open House at the State Theatre to share ideas and recommendations to “Help Shape the Future of Culpeper County Parks and Recreation.” Need more parks or a public pool? Are you interested in how parks and recreation can impact the local economy? Are you looking for more places to hike or play sports? Do you seek more programs for children or senior citizens? Over the last decade parks and recreation departments across the nation have sought a higher level of community participation to bring new ideas, long-term goals and economic factors to the table. The State Theatre will host the introduction of a new parks and recreation initiative, orchestrated by Culpeper County Parks and Recreation and PROS Consulting, Inc., a nationally recognized parks and recreation consulting firm. County residents are invited to attend this “Open

What: Community discussion - Help Shape the Future of Culpeper County Parks and Recreation Where: State Theatre located at 305 S. Main Street When: Wednesday, March 30, 6:45 p.m. House” to express their ideas and desires for the future of parks and recreation in the county. “We really want to encourage the community to attend. They can help shape the future of recreation in our county,” said John Barrett, Culpeper County’s Director of Parks and Recreation. “Have you ever thought about what you may want or need from the county’s parks and recreation department? What if you were given the opportunity to offer your thoughts and even more? Now is the time to prepare questions and add your ideas.” Before the open house begins its exploration of topics there will be a time period for Culpeper Renaissance Inc. to discuss its innovative pocket park idea and the Town of Culpeper will share its plans for Lake Pelham, according to Barrett. Families, businesses, youth sports

Culpeper County Parks and Recreation has partnered with a consulting firm to gather data on what residents would like to see in the county in terms of their parks and recreational opportunities. organizations, senior citizens and community leaders are all encouraged to attend. “We’re seeking a consensus of priorities. As the county population continues to grow, it is critical to gather information to obtain a full understanding of those community needs,” said Barrett. “A parks and recreation study will serve as a data collection platform in order to gain insight and prepare a planning guide for the future. After the open house PROS Consulting will take the top three priorities and conduct impact studies. The process should take about nine months to a year.” In addition to the kick-off open house, PROS Consulting will hold additional public meetings, mail a

survey to households in the county, and conduct stakeholder interviews, according to planners. If attendance is not possible for the first open house a website (www.PlayCulpeper.com) will allow people to still play a part in the process. On the website, citizens can provide input as well as view the progress of the study. “This planning process is centered on community values and the unmet needs of the diverse population of Culpeper County,” said Neelay Bhatt, Vice-President of PROS Consulting Inc., who was hired to lead the planning process. For more information, contact John Barrett at 540-727-3412.

AUTOMOTIVE SHOWCASE

At the gas pump The U.S. national average for a gallon of gasoline has again made a weekly climb, rising 4.5 cents to $1.985 per gallon Monday, according to price-tracker GasBuddy.com. Gasoline prices in every state have been moving higher since the national average bottomed out February 15 at $1.696/gallon, the lowest since 2008. Since the upward trend began, average prices have jumped some 29 cents per gallon, slightly under GasBuddy forecasts that suggested motorists would see a 35-70 cent per gallon jump between the bottom price and a spring/early summer top. This comes as oil prices continue to move higher on the threat of a freeze or cut in output from some OPEC and non-OPEC members, ahead of their meeting. Oil prices Monday are again flirting with $40/bbl, some of the highest levels since last November. The biggest weekly jump at the pump was observed in Arizona, where average prices raced higher by nearly 20 cents per gallon. Following, was Nevada with a 13 cent spike, Florida, rising 12 cents, California, up 9 cents and Wyoming, up 7 cents. Just three states saw prices rise by over a dime per gallon in the last week, compared to 32 states that saw such jumps two weeks ago.

GasBuddy expects that the continued rise at the pump will likely slow down yet again, as it did this past week, yet it's likely the national average will soon break $2 per gallon, a level it has seen just once in 2016. Expectedly with the rise, fewer stations are selling the cheap gas motorists long for. 100 percent of the nation's stations are selling at over $1.50 per gallon Monday, while a month ago some 78 percent of stations were selling over that level. "With the U.S. average price of gas closing in on the $2 level, a price not seen since late December, it reflects a real paradox; we see simultaneously both a stark increase --25 cents per gal. in the past few weeks-- and a reminder of how much we're still saving," said Gregg Laskoski, senior petroleum analyst with GasBuddy. "Even with the anticipated rise in retail prices to accommodate 'summer blend' gasoline regulations, and even with a 54 percent increase in crude oil from $26 to $40 for the

benchmark West Texas Intermediate (WTI), the national average price of gas Monday remains some 45 cents lower than where we were exactly one year ago." Source: GasBuddy

“1984” – Because confusion is clarity CURTAIN CALLS

Remember: Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re NOT out to get you. In the futuristic dystopia of Oceania, there is no doubt – they are definitely out to get you. George Orwell’s cautionary tale of the future rates not only as one of the most read and important novels of the 20th century, but one of the most necessary to re-read in the 21st. The actual year – 1984 – may be thirty-two years behind us, but that’s all the more reason to keep our freedom inventories updated. It should be self-evident that one measure of a theatrical production’s success lies in its ability to not only tell its story, but to inspire the intended reaction. The first is debatable but can be generally agreed upon. The second can’t be known but in the most personal terms. I know my own personal reaction, but no one else’s. It is safe to say, however, that if someone who has paid the price of a ticket walks out while the play is in progress, that’s a statement. Some people did. The Shakespeare Theatre Co. once again hosts a traveling company. This time it’s Headlong, a group from the U.K. that claims a goal of creating “exhilarating contemporary theatre” with “a provocative mix of innovative new writing, reimagined classics and influential 20th century plays that illuminate our world.” That, too, is debatable, at least as far as their reimagining of “1984” is concerned. And slightly ironic. Winston Smith’s job in the Ministry of Truth is to rewrite history according to the Party’s dictates. He is a cog in the unsleeping Lie apparatus that allows Truth to be what Big Brother says it is, and Smith must not question or even disapprove of his function. Granted, to present a novel in the medium of theatre requires a rewrite, but Headlong added its own perspective and curlicues to Orwell’s story. They rewrote “1984.” At least the directors, Robert Icke and Duncan Macmillan, did. Opening with a book group sometime in the future discussing “1984” (or was it Smith’s diary? I couldn’t be sure) the first scene included odd choreographed movements with no relationship to the dialogue and repeated remarks to Smith who may or may not be actually present. This weirdness for weirdness’s sake had the unfortunate effect of a college theatre troupe staging “cool ideas.” What it did not communicate to me was the overwhelming sense of paranoia and entrapment that seeps

1984 plays at the Shakespeare Theatre Company through April 10. from every page of the book. Though the story arc is reasonably faithful right down to exact lines, missed opportunities abound, many of which center on the staging and effects. One well- lit unit set served for office, antique shop, and outdoor hideaway. We are supposed to know that Big Brother is always watching, but the screens above the stage show only Smith’s diary entries and the attic love nest where Winston (Matthew Spencer) and Julia (Hara Yannas) meet, thinking they are hidden. The set transforms into the dreaded Room 101, a place of torture, where there is no darkness, where the worst thing you can imagine actually happens. Headlong spared nothing in creating the most graphic, violent and bloody scenarios accompanied by frequent blinding lights and deafening crashes of sound. These were no doubt intended to force the audience into an uncomfortable engagement with electrocution, fear, and excruciating pain. But physical pain isn’t the tone of Orwell’s vision so much as an unbearable loss of objective truth and personal identity to the ubiquitous government machine that sees all. This is not to diss the cast, which is capable and doing what they were directed to do. Tim Dutton is imminently suitable as O’Brien, the one man whom Smith was sure led the underground resistance, but is, naturally, a Big Brother insider. His execution of the torture scene makes it all the more grueling to witness. Stephen Fewell, too, as the antique shop owner, Charrington, delivers the authentic shock of revealed

deception, even when we know it’s coming. Christopher Nolan is used – and misused, in my opinion – not only as Martin but as a range of robotic, purposeless humans. Yes, in “1984” people have no purpose beyond mindless service to Big Brother, where War is Peace, and Freedom is Slavery, but even that function should be clear. Regardless of my personal quibbles, “1984” is a profoundly important work to be visited and re-visited, read and re-read. Do cameras watch us everywhere we go? Are we so focused on little screens that we ignore what’s going on around us? Do we believe what those little screens tell us, and mindlessly pass the information along? Does the government keep

records on our every personal move? Can screens watch us as we watch them? Oh no – of course not. A free people would never tolerate that! Maggie Lawrence is a member of the American Theatre Critics’ Association. She is a retired English and drama teacher.

VIEWS Senator Reeves remarks at Grassroots Kickoff of Revitalize Virginia PAC, Intention to run for Lt. Governor of Virginia REEVES REPORT

Senator Bryce E. Reeves (R-Spotsylvania) kicked off the grassroots efforts of the Revitalize Virginia PAC this evening. Senator Reeves announced earlier this month his intentions to lay the groundwork for a run for Lt. Governor of Virginia in 2017. [Citing the need for conservative leadership in Richmond as well as his strong record of public service, Senator Reeves announced his intention to run for Lt. Governor of Virginia in 2017.] Delegate Nick Freitas opened with the following remark: “I’ve seen firsthand what this man will do... this man will run to the conflict, to the sound of guns. Bryce went to Richmond to protect the rights of citizens.” Anne Reeves continued with a heartfelt ‘thank you’ for the steadfast loyalty shown by supporters and volunteers, dating back to his first campaign. “...I can tell you, we were not wealthy. Not wealthy, but rich in family, friends, and faith. I say this so you know the fabric of my life and what drives me to want to be your next Lieutenant Governor.”, said Senator Reeves. “Help us revitalize the Commonwealth to its prominent place at the top of our nation.

liability for pumping and hauling sewage for a facility of unknown size and use? Rixeyville Road near Ira Hoffman Lane is already hazardous. I would appreciate the Board of Supervisors answering the following questions about how this portion of Rixeyville Road will be affected by this proposal. 1. How big will this public facility be? How often and how much raw sewage will be pumped and hauled? 2. On an average day how many vehicles will access and leave this property? 3. Will the road be altered to

eliminate the need for U-turns so north bound vehicles can enter and exit the property? 4. Will more pump and haul development projects be encouraged in this residential area, and throughout the county? I urge the Board of Supervisors to closely examine this unusual application which makes Rixeyville Road more hazardous and congested. Culpeper citizens have right to know more about the impacts this proposal has on health and safety. Thomas Sawyer Reva

Man charged for intent to distribute drugs Contributed report Three pounds of marijuana, packed in mason jars and individually labelled by flavor, were packed away in a trailer on Baileys Lane until March 17 when Culpeper Sheriff’s Deputy Rusty Woodard arrived. Woodard was there to serve a warrant on the occupant Kelvin Yates, 28, for an unrelated court case. When the door opened he began to speak to Yates’ mother and at the same time the officer smelled Marijuana. K-9 Officer Jonathan Kearns went back to town, got a search warrant, and upon his return the two searched the trailer with the help of Karma -- Kearns’ drug sniffing dog. It wasn’t until Karma went to Yate’s bedroom did he alert on a large blue bag in a closet and on a dresser in the same room, according to the report. With that information deputies searched the house by hand and found the stash of marijuana worth an estimated $10,500.00 retail. Neatly packed in 46 mason jars labeled with names to include “Key Lime,” “Cookies” and “Snow Kush,” the marijuana is now held in the Sheriff’s Office evidence room for trial.

Your spirit will be renewed by the faith of people in devastating situations that should rob them of happiness and comfort, but instead brought strength and courage to their lives. Journey from Heartache to Hope illustrates what is possible when people learn to rely on God to provide His arms of comfort. He is the safe place for us to mourn, grow, and live our lives in peace.

Youth Theatre Camps held at the State Theatre are broken into eight week sessions: teamwork, movement, character, voice, text, rehearsal, performance and sharing skills. Saturday’s theme was character. These campers used a coloring exercise to help teach them about design and the ‘colors’ of their unique characters including personality traits.

Culpeper Times • March 24-30, 2016 ➤ Theatre, from Page 24 during theatre camps held at the State Theatre. Executive Director Steven Barker has launched a series of education programs to further expand the reach of the theatre as a community venue on many levels. The State Theatre Education Program’s (STEP) mission is to provide a nurturing, inspiring, creative, and engaging environment for learners of all ages to grow. To put it lovingly, participants are encouraged to play nice and learn to get along as any set of cast members will tell you is essential for a successful performance and at life. “This is an opportunity for young people to get instruction from a theatre professional...and actually get to be on the stage,” says Barker who doesn’t believe in any final scoring process or earning points. “It’s about showing off skills and learning to get along...I’m keen on collaboration.” To that end, the State Theatre will offer a series of theatre camps during the upcoming spring break. “They are jam-packed full days,” laughs Barker who has lined up a group of instructors, many in the community, who are willing to share their theatre expertise. There are also half day programs. For grades 2-5 and grades 6-8, choices include a full or half day program running Monday through Friday from 9:30 a.m. to noon and/or 1:15 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Their Theatre Sampler week is broken into sections that develop skills in a variety of theatre genres spanning work on and off the stage. Topics range from musical theatre and improv to visual art and production including a backstage tour. Create a Story encourages students to use popular stories as a springboard to discover their own creativity in creating characters through voice, body, mind and imagination. At week’s end, there will be a small ‘shareformance’ to show off new and improved skills. The cost for each camp is $150. If you attend both camps, the price is $250. You can go online (www. culpepertheatre.org) to get registration forms or stop by the State Theatre where forms are available in the

er’s classic “Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.” Barker thinks they are a bargain at $5 a ticket and if you buy a ticket you’ll be entered to win a golden ticket which will get you into the entire series.

Indulge in one of life’s finest pleasures THE SWEET SIDE OF THINGS Meg Oremiatzki-Ast

This new column is dedicated to those readers who, like us, have a great pallet and a soft spot for all things sweet. Today we are going to take a journey back in time and visit the kitchens of Duke Cesar de Choiseul Count du Plessis-

Praslin (1598-1675). It is mostly believed, but yet to be proven for lack of historical documentation, that the Duke’s Chief Cook Clement Jaluzot invented the first praline. While we know he came up with the idea of roasting the almonds, it is unclear as to whether or not he appropriated some of the recipe elements from his under cooks and coated the almonds with sugar. During a peace reconciliation between the city of Bordeaux and the crown, the roasted almonds coated with sugar became a huge success and the Duke took credit for the invention and named it Praline after himself (Praslin became Prasline then Praline). Years later Clement opened a shop selling his pralines, however, he was very careful about taking credit for his invention. It is only in 1903 that Leon Mazet and his wife purchased the recipe and their shop remains properly named “Au Duc de Praslin.” Here, when we refer to the Praline, we think of New Orleans and the deep south where the Southern Praline was born. It was begun when the French settled in New Orleans and they continued their long tradition of Praline making. However, with time it was replaced with pecans as these were readily available and likely more affordable. In 1912, Jean Neuhaus created the Belgian chocolate praline which is a chocolate shelf filled with soft and at times a crunchy filling. While the two words are exactly the same, their origins are vastly different. The verb “Praliner” pronounced

(Pra’lin’eh) means enrobing the root of a plant. It was coined praline because Jean Neuhaus, whose first profession was as a pharmacist in Brussels, was selling plant based candies to heal some conditions such as stomach aches or allergies to name just a few. In the chocolate world today, some chocolatiers like to use many different words for their artisan creations. During our various visits to the Washington, DC, area we have found the word Pralines to be used quite loosely to describe truffle chocolates and other bonbons creating some confusion among customers. Many artisan chocolatiers are removing the term Praline by promoting each individual chocolate with a name describing their creation, although, I believe that you could argue that when it comes to the purchase of a chocolate the words are lost in our minds as we let our eyes and our nose make the final decision. The chocolatiers core desire is to create a unique piece which stimulates your senses in many different ways. When you visit any chocolate shop, you will be amazed by the varied flavors and textures offered. The world of chocolate is now forever married to many new ingredients and spices such as bacon, basil, balsamic vinegar, hot spices, and curry, just to mention a few.

This manon is a perfect blend of light butter cream praliné and caramelized hazelnut pieces with the sweetness of milk chocolate.The airy sensation of the cream and the original nutty note of the hazelnuts are a surprising combination The “Manon” collection of pralines is a tribute to the success of Suzanne Neuhaus, the daughter of Jean Neuhaus, in her role as “Manon” in the opera of the same name performed at the La Monnaie opera house in Brussels. Don’t be shy, let yourself explore the new tastes and sensations that these mixtures can bring to your taste buds, and if you can’t fathom the idea of a mix of chocolate and spices, then try chocolates with beer or liquor flavors and if this does not do the trick, then enjoy the more traditional European house which rarely strays away from the Open Daily
