Salute to our Veterans Crusin For Heroes teams up with Bruster’s for monthly fundraiser Several area patriots are members of a small group called Cruisin For Heroes. Chuck Shotwell of Stafford and Culpeper Vietnam veteran Lou Realmuto lead the group. Their mission is to bring a family friendly vehicle display to an event that will raise awareness and funding for the Fisher House Foundation as well as other charities/local community service groups. Not only supporting military organizations, veterans and first responders throughout Virginia, the group encourages interest in preserving the great classic automobile hobby for future generations.

Cruisin For Heroes has provided the Special Vehicle Display at the entrance to the annual Culpeper Regional Airport Air Fest for the past seven years and will be there again this year. Chrysler of Culpeper has been their major sponsor for this event.

They have also been sponsored by a local business, Braggs Corner Industrial Centre LLC, to participate in CulpeperFest and although they will not have a vehicle display

this year they will have a booth.

They also organize an annual Toys4Tots run each December to the Marine Corp Museum and have provided displays for charities like Paws4Vets as well as a grand opening for a major restaurant chain in Fredericksburg and fundraisers at an area winery. These events are not “car shows” and there are no trophies. They have an exclusive list of over 60 volunteer hobbyists who have a passion for classic cars and enjoy talking to people about their special ride while supporting charitable causes and therefore can provide a wide assortment of specialty vehicles from antiques to classics to race cars.

The Fisher House program is a unique private-public partnership supporting America's military in their time of need. It recognizes the special sacrifices of our men and women in uniform and the hardships of military service by meeting a humanitarian need beyond that normally provided by the Departments of Defense and Veterans Af-

fairs.

The Fisher House Foundation builds and donates "comfort homes," on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful time - during the hospitalization of a member of our military. No family pays to stay at any Fisher House.

Cruisin For Heroes is now collaborating with Mike and Melissa Martin, owners of our local Bruster’s on Roger’s Road, on a monthly fundraiser Cruise-In from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. on the fourth Saturday of each month from April through October.

There will be music and a Manager’s Choice Award will be presented each month. In addition to any do-

nations collected at the Cruise-In, a portion of the sales from the night’s event will be donated by Mike and Melissa to the Fisher House Foundation.

Cruisin For Heroes can add a unique Vehicle Display to promote a special event or business to help attract additional spectators or customers to a festival, grand opening, special sale, holiday event / parade, or any special community activity. Sponsorships are also available to help assist Cruisin For Heroes achieve its mission. For more information go to www.cruisinforheroes. com.

Since starting Salute to our Veterans, we have featured dozens of servicemen and women. We want to feature more. In this issue, we thank Chris Hively, Jim Hoy, Duane Mitchell and Lou Realmuto.

The Culpeper Times will feature Salute to Our Veterans once a month. If you know of a particular veteran program or event that you’d like to see listed, let us know.

The other day I was picking up my grandchildren at the bus stop and was lucky enough to meet Judy Owen who drives the bus they ride on. In my opinion, school bus drivers are unsung heroes. Honestly, I cannot even imagine driving a busload of noisy, energetic elementary school kids to and from school every day, but she loves it. Not only that, a number of them stopped to hug her on the way out. Pretty special! ➤ Check out Rich’s blog at facesofculpeperva.blogspot.com and Faces of Culpeper on Facebook

Culpeper Baptist Retirement Community has changed its name to The Culpeper, Executive Director Jim Jacobsen announced in a community meeting with residents April 6.

“While we are proud of our Baptist heritage, we believe this name change better reflects where we are today — a community who welcomes and supports people of all backgrounds in the faithbased family atmosphere Culpeper residents have come to expect,” Jacobsen said.

Built in the late 1940s, The Culpeper is the fulfillment of Dr. J. T. Edwards’ vision to assist Virginia Baptists in their retirement years.

Since then, LifeSpire of Virginia (formerly Virginia Baptist Homes) has grown to four continuing care retirement communities in Culpeper, Newport News, Richmond and the Roanoke Valley. Each community provides a full continuum of care to address the changing health needs of seniors.

BEHIND THE BADGE Collins cares about people and about preserving our links to the past William Collins works in the present but his passion is in the past. The bespeckled jail supervisor looks more the scholar than a man who straps on a firearm every morning to go to work. When he isn’t on duty or grilling prime cuts of meat at home, Collins is out scouring the land with his metal detector recovering the past.

“Sometimes when I find a relic I’ll just leave it in place, look at it, and think about how it got there,” he said. “I’ll do that for a half hour or so sometimes.”

Finding the relic is only part of the process for Collins who researches the units which traversed the land 150 years ago. This month he found a North Carolina belt buckle, a rare find according to Collins. With buckle in hand, he is now researching the Battle of Brandy Station and the units involved.

“He [the cavalry combatant] probably took off the belt and just threw it aside,” Collins said. The buckle was poorly soldered and

Age: 43, married First Sergeant: Culpeper County Jail Hobbies: Civil War relic hunting, reading, history buff probably broke apart, he theorizes.

Reading history, researching courthouse records, understanding battles and encampments of 150 years ago, Collins traverses the great divide between today’s world and the Civil War era.

The burly First Sergeant came by the hobby easily. He grew up in Hanover County amidst battlefields and relics “surrounded by history” as he put it. Then, one day he saw some relic collectors out in the field near his house. They showed him what they found and he was hooked. He got his own detector and searched the fields near home.

“When I was a teenager I sold what I found at the country store,” he said. It kept him in pocket

change.

But relic hunting is neither Collins’ profession nor his career path.

Public service began as a volunteer at the fire department starting as a junior firefighter at age 14 and ending 23 years later in the department as an Assistant Chief. During the same time as he volunteered at the firehouse he worked for the Virginia Alcohol Beverage Control Board (ABC) as a security officer for the headquarters and then later for all of the stores in the state. He left that position to work security for J. Sergeant Reynolds Community College, then Homeland Security as a police officer, moving from there to the Warrenton Police Department.

The then sheriff of Fauquier County noticed Collins in the Warrenton P.D. and recruited him for a position in the Sheriff’s Department. It was only a short leap to Culpeper when Sheriff Jenkins snagged Collins for his new administration in Culpeper. ➤ See Collins, Page 6

USINESSES TO KNOW IN & AROUND OUR COMMUNITY

Walker Jones: Coppage offers a caring legal hand

By Anita L. Sherman STAFF WRITER

For nearly 40 years, the firm of Walker and Jones has provided legal expertise for their clients relying on a cadre of attorneys proficient in specific legal areas.

One of those, Allison Coppage, joined the firm in March 2001. While she can handle cases involving a DUI or if you get a speeding ticket or need a simple will prepared, her focus is family law.

“That is where I spend 90 percent of my time,” says Coppage, a native Virginian born in Hampton.

Coppage muses about her original career idea.

“I actually wanted to be a judge when I was in high school,” says Coppage who has great admiration for former district court judges Dudley Payne Jr. and Charles Foley. A student at Fauquier High School in Warrenton, Coppage also contemplated being a biology major but it was political science classes in college at Virginia Polytechnic Insti-

tute & State University and then public speaking and debate that confirmed her legal path.

“I found that I had no problem standing in front of people,” says Coppage who spent three years working in Washington, D.C. for the National Association of Attorneys General. “That’s when I knew what I wanted to be,” says Coppage who spent nights attending law school at Capital University Law School in Columbus, Ohio. She was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1999 but her southern roots beckoned.

“Virginia is home for me so I moved back in 2000 and took the bar in Virginia in 2001.”

Going on 16 years, she’s been with Walker Jones ever since.

In family law, you are dealing with a lot of divorces.

“When you’re dealing with clients involved in a divorce you see people at their worst,” says Coppage, “divorce is similar to the death of a loved one...you’re an attorney and also a counselor at law...I find that more often than not you’re in the

counselor role as well as legal advisor.”

When not in the courtroom, Coppage can be found on playing fields throughout the area.

“I coach my daughter Claire’s softball team,” says Coppage who is also the JV softball coach at Fauquier High School. Her daughter attends the same middle school that she attended - Warrenton Middle School - although it was Warrenton Jr. High at the time. Her son, Grayson, is involved in travel baseball.

When it comes to role models, there are two attorneys that stand out for Coppage: longtime Fauquier native litigator Robin Gulick and Julia Savage, a colleague at Walker Jones.

“Robin has a great way about him as a person and Julia is amazing,” says Coppage adding, “you can be a new attorney out of law school and they’ll take the time to talk with you.”

It’s the compassion and caring at Walker Jones that is a hallmark for Coppage.

COURTESY PHOTO

Allison Coppage is an attorney with the Walker Jones office in Warrenton. Her specialty is family law.

When her husband passed away in 2013, Coppage said the entire firm stepped up. “I would say the best thing about Walker Jones is that they are family oriented and, although a large firm, embrace a very small town culture.”

“They were amazingly supportive during that time...we conduct ourselves as a family unit...it’s a great network...everybody does things together.”

PEC's solar success story

By Michael Melkonian

SPECIAL TO THE CULPEPER TIMES

To launch their second Solarize Piedmont campaign, a grassroots effort to bring solar electricity to more people across the Commonwealth, Piedmont Environmental Council president, Chris Miller, unveiled their own new solar electricity panels last week.

“We’re not trying to remove ourselves from the larger system, we just want to contribute whatever we can to the long term solution,” Miller said.

To Miller's amusement, PEC’s system was arranged and installed through Solarize Piedmont's online portal found on PEC's own website.

Their 10­ kilowatt system uses 38 panels and cost around $34,000 to install. He expects to save $2,000 in the first year.

“As a nonprofit, that’s lot of capital,” Miller said. “But we still think it’s a good investment.”

Over a 25-­ year lifespan, Miller expects about a 7.5 percent return, better than many other financial investments, he said.

To get started with Solarize Piedmont, residents can sign up on the PEC website and send a letter of interest along with your address and recent electric bills to the Local Energy Alliance Program, LEAP. They will do a satellite assessment of your property to find its “solar potential” and then pass the info to their installer, Solar Solutions for All. The installer obtains all the necessary permits, orders the materials and equipment and takes care of the installation, Miller said.

Eleven people finalized contracts through last year’s Solarize Piedmont campaign. Each of them, including PEC, can track their energy production online. PEC posted a link to their statistics for anyone to see.

➤ Solar, from Page 8 will come into its own. The serious summer sun should drastically offset air conditioning costs, they said.

Andrew Grigsby of LEAP said they got into the conversation when they heard so many people dreaming of sustainable systems but waiting for prices to drop. LEAP is now helping many people and businesses like PEC produce at least half of their own energy.

And as prices have dropped, businesses compete for more business which leads to even lower prices.

But Grigsby said some homeowners might get lost in research before ever getting the chance to meet an installer.

“We’re here to help you pull the trigger because we’ve done the research,” Grigsby said.

Delegate Randy Minchew of Loudoun, a Republican from Virginia’s 10th district, was on hand to support the local effort for renewable resources.

“We’ve been kicking the can down the road for too long,” Minchew said. “I do not care if my name is a chief patron of this bill, I want to see something get done.”

Bob Lazaro, director of regional sustainable energy policy for the Northern Virginia Regional Commission, has been helping with campaigns like Solarize Piedmont across Virginia.

“This is Groupon for solar,” Lazaro said. “It takes the mystery out of it.”

Virginians spent about $1.5 million in solar project contracts despite the lack of tax credit programs in the Commonwealth. But compared to neighboring states, the solar effort in Virginia is lackluster, according to Lazaro.

He said there is more solar power in Frederick County, Md., than in all of Virginia.

“If we can improve incentives, we can start to address the huge difference between Maryland and Virginia,” Miller said. “And we have to be honest that it’s the utilities that are blocking a lot of that.”

The campaign runs April 5 June 15, 2016, and it’s available to residents in Albemarle, Clarke, Culpeper, Fauquier, Greene, Loudoun, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock Counties. There are great benefits to going solar, such as energy security, long-term cost savings and emissions reduction. This program helps residents with the logistics of planning a solar installation, and it provides competitive pricing.

To see if solar is right for your home, farm or business, visit pecva. org/solarize, and fill out the sign-up form. This effort is a unique partnership between PEC, Local Energy Alliance Program, Northern Virginia Regional Commission, and Solar Solutions for All.

The “old, poor, sick” fallacy The ambiance was charming, the conversation engaging, and the wealth manager I was dining with was recounting one fascinating story after another. But as dinner came to a close he said something that surprised me – not because I hadn’t heard it before, but because I hadn’t heard it for a long time.

“My clients aren’t

Reverse mortgages the matter, so I was somewhat are basically just used for taken aback by my colleague’s people who are old, poor, and settled declaration. sick.”

So what do the data show Not a question here, mind regarding homeowners who

Are these simply “loans of last resort” as my wealth manager friend seemed to think?

Nationwide, statistics show that homeowners with higher than average incomes, and above average educations, tend to take out reverse mortgages

Reverse mortgages are not a fit for everyone – no one financial product is.

But a reverse mortgage is going to play an important role in many homeowners’ financial health in retirement, particularly when used as part of a sound, long-term retirement plan.

The Culpeper Hospital Auxiliary recently donated new guest chairs for the UVA Culpeper Hospital infusion area. The donation, an approximate value of $6,500, was made possible by the auxiliary’s annual Lights of Love celebration fundraiser.

Governor signs Webert’s HB206 bill FROM THE DELEGATES' DESK Michael Webert

Delegate Michael Webert (R-18 District) is thrilled to report that the Governor has signed his legislation, HB206 into law with no amendments. This bill repeals the prerequisite for a Virginia resident to present a

secondary form of government issued identification to purchase a firearm.

Acknowledging the Governor’s approval, Delegate Webert said, “I am ecstatic to see the Governor sign HB206 into law.

My bill removes an archaic requirement instituted decades ago when Virginia issued identification to individuals without verifying residency. Now, Virginia law requires an individual demonstrate legal proof of habitation to secure an ID.” “Under the new law, an individual

would be required to provide only a single form of ID issued by a governmental agency of the Commonwealth or by the U.S. Department of Defense that indicates Virginia residency,” Webert added. “By rescinding this unnecessary hurdle, more law-abiding citizens will have the opportunity to exercise their right to purchase a firearm.”

This bi-partisan, pro-gun measure passed both the House of Delegates and the state Senate with unanimous support.

Michael Webert is a Virginia farmer who represents the 18th district, an area that covers all of Rappahannock, and portions of Fauquier, Warren, and Culpeper counties in the Virginia House of Delegates. He is currently serving his third term in the legislature, and sits on the following committees: Militia, Police and Public Safety; Agriculture, Chesapeake, and Natural Resources; Counties, Cities, and Towns. He and his wife Rebecca reside in Marshall, VA with their two sons William and Ben.

Gibson family letters capture Culpeper during the Civil War Letter from Alabama: The following letter was written

by Frances Burt in Alabama to her step-mother, Mary Shackelford Gibson, in Culpeper. The letter conveys to Mrs. Gibson the sad news of her granddaughter’s death as well as the writer’s concerns about the Yankees arriving in Culpeper. It continues the series of Gibson family letters from columns I published in 2013 and 2014.

Mardisville, April 22, 1861 My Dear Mother I have to write you the sad news of dear little Minnie’s death. She was sick about five weeks, she had whooping cough and pneumonia combined. She suffered a great deal but was so patient during all of her sickness, indeed she was a remarkable child, one of the most intelligent and interesting children I ever saw, and was the life of the household. While sick she asked her mother to sit on the bed and read the Bible to her, and also asked to get her book and

sing some for her and joined in with her. She died in a convulsion, but looked beautifully after death. She was dressed in a tucked jacinet that was made for her christening dress, and the little thing was almost covered with white roses and geranium leaves.

The services were performed by an Episcopal minister and she was buried at Pa Welch’s. Tim, Nannie’s little boy, was baptized by the side of sister while she was a corpse, of course it was an impressing scene. Nannie and Mr. Welch are deeply grieved for they had made an idol of the child, but N tries to bear it with a great deal of fortitude.

She came here from the burial as Pierre was sick, and I could not go. I was anxious she should remain several days, but she thought Mr. W would be too lonely now his dear little Minnie was gone. I had not been able to go to Mr. W’s for several days before Minnie’s death, owing to Pierre’s illness for he had congestion of the brain, and his life was despaired of. He is up today running over the house. We lost a very valuable servant with the same disease a few days since, only lived three days after he was taken sick. I never felt so forcibly before the uncertainty of life; truly in the midst of life are we in death.

I feel sad to think the Yankees have again been so near you, and fear you all are not safe in Culpepper, and if danger is near I do not think I would remain there. Nannie told me to tell you how much she wished for you during Minnie’s sickness. It would have been such a gratification to her for you to have been with her. She is very anxious to have you with her.

Sue left here yesterday. She has been anxious to go to Va in the summer, but I tell her it will not be prudent for her to do so. The Yankees will get her, and that she had better keep as far away as possible. I do not know what is now her conclusion.

Your affectionate daughter, FCB Frances’ quote “in the midst of life are we in death” would prove too true for the Gibson family in the coming years. Mentioned in her letter were three siblings who died soon after: Pierre Gibson, a member of the Little Fork Rangers, killed on duty in 1863; Sue Gibson, a schoolteacher in Alabama who died in 1864; and Ned Gibson who died in Culpeper in 1869.

Minnie was the two year old daughter of sister Ann “Nannie” Gibson Welch, who also died young, in 1872, at around the age of 38.

Knowing your rights as a grandparent Sometimes grandparents make all the difference when life gets tough.

Parents of young children can encounter difficulties in life that make it challenging or impossible for them to be good providers for their children. Perhaps they suffered a job loss and cannot afford stable housing, or they are struggling with substance abuse. In such cases, the child’s grandparents or other extended family may step in to provide a temporary home for the child, a situation known as kinship care.

Kinship care sometimes happens with the approval and gratitude of the child’s parents, in which case the parties should sign a formal entrustment agreement or obtain an uncontested court order reflecting their custody agreement. In the absence of such documentation, the grandparents are likely to encounter problems with third parties when managing the child’s medical, educational, and other needs.

In 2013, in recognition of the crucial role played by extended family in caring for children, Virginia law was amended to make it easier for kinship care providers to enroll a child in the relative’s school district. Instead of needing a court order transferring custody, the relative can provide an affidavit signed by one or both parents and the relative providing kinship

care, reciting the reasons for the alternative care arrangement and other pertinent information.

If the family cannot agree on who should be the child’s primary caregiver, the parties may wind up in court asking the judge to decide what is best for the child. The law strongly favors the rights of parents over nonparents. The U.S. Constitution has been interpreted as giving parents a fundamental liberty interest in the care, custody, and control of their children. Virginia law does not specify any particular rights for grandparents or other relatives. Nonetheless, anyone with a “legitimate interest” in a child, such as a grandparent, other blood relative, step-parent, or former steppar, may petition the court for custody or visitation.

If the relative’s request for custody is opposed by the child’s parents, the relative has the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence (i) parental unfitness; (ii) a previous court order divested custody from the parents; (iii) voluntary relinquishment of custody; (iv) abandonment; or (v) other extraordinary circumstances.

Once the relative proves the existence of one of these factors, the parents and relative are on equal footing and the court turns its focus to the best interests of the child.

The best interests of the child may dictate placing the child with the parents, relative, or jointly with both. Typically, if a relative has been awarded custody of a child and a parent expresses a desire to have the child return home, the court will try to effectuate a return home as soon as the parent’s stability has improved

and he or she can meet the child’s basic needs.

When parents refuse to allow grandparents time with the child, grandparents may petition the court for visitation. Because of the parents’ fundamental right to raise their child as they see fit, Virginia law does not give grandparents an automatic right to visitation. To prevail over the united objection of the parents, grandparents must prove that the child will suffer “actual harm” if visitation is not ordered. It is usually quite obvious to the grandparents that the child would suffer harm if they were not an active presence in the child’s life. From a legal standpoint, however, proving actual harm is a high barrier to overcome. It often requires the testimony of an independent professional, such as a counselor, who knows the child well and can express an educated opinion about the potential impact on the child’s mental health.

If only one parent objects to the grandparents’ visitation and the other parent supports the request, the court applies the “best interests of the child” standard.

It is much easier to show that it is in the best interests of the child to have visitation than it is to prove actual harm without visitation. As a result, having one parent as an ally will greatly increase the odds of grandparents maintaining a meaningful relationship with the child.

Give Local Piedmont is May 3

➤ Connecting and cultivating communities

With the third annual Give Local Piedmont event less than a month away, excitement from more than 150 participating nonprofits and community members throughout the four-county area is on the rise.

The first two years of Give Local Piedmont were smash hits, raising just shy of $1.4 million collectively for area nonprofits on May 6, 2014, and May 5, 2015, while increasing awareness for these organizations to much higher levels. This year’s event—running from midnight to 11:59 p.m. on May 3—includes many nonprofits participating for the first time.

The PATH Foundation (formerly Fauquier Health Foundation) has stepped up once again, generously providing a $100,000 bonus pool to be shared proportionately with all nonprofits according to their donation totals. An additional $30,000 in cash prizes donated by generous sponsors will be awarded as well.

Two sets of grand prizes in the

amounts of $5,000, $2,500, and $1,250 will be awarded to the top three nonprofits (with operating budgets totaling less than or more than $250,000, respectively) that receive the highest number of unique donations of $10 or more. In addition, one Grow the Grassroots prize of $2,500 will go to the organization with an operating budget of less than $100,000 that receives the largest number of unique donations. Four $1,000 Power Hour prizes will go to the organizations that raise the most money during specific hours throughout the day while 12 Golden Ticket prizes ($500 each) will be randomly drawn every other hour beginning at 1 a.m.

Each nonprofit can earn up to two prizes, or a maximum of $5,000 in prize money.

Spearheaded by the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation, Give Local Piedmont is part of the national Give Local America event, sponsored by the Council on Foundations. Each year it is one of many simultaneous fundraising events held nationwide. In 2015, more than 9,000 nonprofits in all 50 states raised $68.5 million through

375,000 gifts.

Community Foundation executive director Jane Bowling-Wilson knows firsthand the potential impact such an event can have on a nonprofit.

“From the nonprofit side, it is an unbelievable opportunity to generate community awareness about your foundation and what you accomplish,” says Bowling-Wilson who, as the previous executive di-

rector of Headwaters Foundation, led the nonprofit during Give Local Piedmont in 2014 and 2015. “Every nonprofit should be working to create visibility for themselves through multiple channels,” she adds. “It doesn't mean you have to be big or have a large budget, but nonprofits need their volunteers to help increase awareness about who they are, what they contribute ➤ See Give, Page 24

to our counties, and how they are moving forward.”

And Give Local Piedmont is a wonderful opportunity to build community.

“It’s about the excitement of giving to a cause you feel is important, and it’s a tiny way to say ‘thank you’ to those folks who dedicate themselves to a cause that is larger than words,” Bowling-Wilson says.

“Life should be about making a difference, contributing, and having an impact. Many of the nonprofits participating in Give Local Piedmont have the ultimate impact of helping people turn their lives around.”

On May 3, all eyes will be on the Leaderboard at www.givelocalpiedmont.org, which will post donation totals in real time throughout the day, beginning at midnight. Pledge to be part of this historic day that will benefit our incredible nonprofits, and by extension our community as a whole.

Established in 2000, the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation is a public charity that builds philanthropic capital to enhance and preserve the quality of life in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, and Rappahannock Counties and to strengthen the region’s nonprofit organizations.

What to ask a winemaker I get asked a lot why I use the term “Nerd,” Jim Hollingshead as opposed to “connoisseur,” “enthusiast,” or even “geek.”

When I began my tumble into the rabbit-hole of the wine world, my friends started calling me ”the wine guy,” but that always seemed too bland or generic, like a plot device. While there are other terms to describe passion and expertise, I find that “Nerd” most perfectly encapsulates my obsessivecompulsive nature. It’s the kind of obsession that will halt a conversation as my eyes glaze over with visions of Austria or South Africa, until I start scrambling through research on why Carmeñere is nicknamed “The Jurassic Park Grape,” or why wines grown on Mount Vesuvius are called “The Tears of Christ”(both great stories, of course).

It’s not so much an interest or even a passion as it is a fundamental need to know each wine, from the setting to the story to the scent. Thus, I am The Wine Nerd.

Fortunately, we live in one of the most exciting places to be a wine lover.

Virginia is plodding towards having 300 wineries, and more acres are being planted than ever before. While spending afternoons at these idyllic scenes, you might be lucky enough to run into the winemaker himself. I have been fortunate enough to work for two such winemakers, and have met, chatted with, assisted and even worked on projects with countless more. I’m even bringing 10 talented winemakers to Culpeper for my Winemaker Wednesday series. There is rarely a better fount of wine knowledge than one of the artists themselves. After all, it takes more than a year, often several, to make each wine- these men and women devote their whole lives to it!

While there are countless technical questions that you can always ask, I find that there are a few that tell me

THE WINE NERD

n’s Corner Logo here (the red “F” and our name) with Life’s Finest Pleasures underneath

the most about a winemaker’s artwork.

Where do you get your grapes?

Not all wineries grow everything; when a wine has only grapes grown by the winery itself, it is called “Estate.”

Many winemakers will buy grapes from other vineyards to augment their own, whether from other parts of the state or even from California or Washington State. While outsourcing much of the growing certainly does not mean a wine is of inferior quality, Estate wines will present the specific character of the one piece of the planet where it was grown and made.

How do you feel about vines and barrels?

Some winemakers do as little as possible to the grapes- they want the wine to express the natural tones of the fruit the way it grew in the vineyard. Others will do more with their winemaking technique, in order to craft the wine towards the particular profile that they desire. Think of a crisp stainless-steel Chardonnay versus an oaky, buttery one. Asking about this will generally lead to a discussion of their personal philosophy of winemaking, and will tell you what to expect from their wines now and in the future.

What do YOU drink?

Every winemaker has a wine that they are jealous of. Most have a pretty hefty international collection. All are passionate about others’ artwork.

This can spark a lively monologue on the wines that brought them into the industry, or the masterpieces that they hope to compare to.

Though winemaking is a technical, chemical process, it is best when driven by passion. These questions and others can get you to the soul of the artist, and that passion unlocks the heart of the wines themselves.

Enjoy our outside dining in beautiful Downtown Culpeper!

What is your favorite grape to use?

This is a good one to get a winemaker excited. Whether it’s the versatility of blending Merlot, the unique challenge of Petit Verdot, or the high acid and sugar of Petit Manseng, everyone has a favorite toy. It’s a great way to get an idea of his or her signature wines, and maybe even get you a taste of something not on the regular list.

Athlete of the week: Rachel Bullard

➤ Devilettes

midfielder anchors field with leadership Editor’s note: Throughout the local high school sports season, Culpeper Times will recognize an “Athlete of the Week” from one of the sports. This week we are featuring girls soccer. At the end of the year, the Times will select a male and female athlete at both Culpeper County and Eastern View high schools and recognize them as “Athlete of the Year” at their respective schools.

By Marshall Conner TIMES CONTRIBUTOR

There is a steadiness in her stride as she passes the soccer ball left and right across the practice field at Culpeper County High School. Junior midfielder Rachel Bullard shouts directions as the ball ping-pongs through a brace of defenders and nears the goal. She smiles briefly when the passes connect.

“She’s a real leader for us,” said Culpeper head coach Erick Kalenga.

“Rachel is our engine in the midfield.

She’s been with us for a long time.

She has three years experience and she’s a junior—so she’s logged considerable time on the field. She’s a very good athlete, student and leader.”

After a fast-paced practice Bullard reflected on her varsity career.

“It’s funny I still feel like I’m young, but I’ve realized that I can bring leadership and experience to our team,” said Bullard. “I think we have a wellbalanced team. We have some players who are gaining experience but I fully believe they can learn and excel at their positions. Sometimes it’s tough to learn and play well—but I’m hoping I can help our younger players become more comfortable in their roles.”

Culpeper (5-2) has had a nice start to its season and fully expects to be one of the top teams in its district and conference. Bullard has three goals and seven assists so far this season.

Last year, she was recognized for her success on the pitch with all-state and first team conference honors.

Bullard is an exceptional student and she also lettered in basketball. She has verbally committed to Bridgewater College with the dream of studying biochemistry and eventually becoming a veterinarian.

“Soccer is my number-one sport.

I also love basketball too because it was a sport I grew up playing at home against my brothers and friends,” said Bullard. “I’ve known what I wanted to do in life since I was a kid.”

As a soccer player Bullard characterized her midfield style as more defensive in her first few seasons--but last year she began to become a potent weapon on offense for the Devilettes.

“We have two games this week with Fauquier and Liberty,” said Bullard. “I think we are getting better with each game.”

Bullard has had a busy schedule of travel and varsity sports throughout the last few years. She cited the support of family as being essential to her success.

“My family has always given me great support. There’s lots of travel and my father likes to provide commentary and suggestions on strategy while my mom usually handles the transportation and being a nice buffer between my dad and I when we get heated over strategies on the field.”

The dynamic between a coach and midfielder is also essential, mainly because most the coach’s strategic game plan tends to be orchestrated by the midfield position.

“Coach (Kalenga) may seem de-

manding and even tough, but I’ve learned that he has a high standard for us and it pushes us to become better players,” explained Bullard. “He knows when to push us and when to take a step back and teach us. He expects a lot, so I try to meet those expectations.”

Bullard believes that Culpeper has the talent to succeed this season, but like any savvy midfielder she knows that games can come down to opportunities and she wants to make sure every one of her teammates is in the right place to win games.
