Culpeper Times • May 5-11, 2016 COUNTY GOVERNMENT Budget passed The county’s proposed FY17 budget of $158,872,481 was unanimously passed by the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors at their Tuesday morning meeting. Representing a slight increase from last year’s budget of $154,127,043, the good news for residents is that there is no tax increase.

Speaking of which, tax rates remain the same as FY16 with real estate at $.66 and the fire and rescue levy at $.07. The CIP (Capital Improvement Plan) budget comes in at $9,072,375. Those dollars will go to needed repairs on buildings in the school system as well as other county facilities.

Finally Representing Catalpa District, supervisor Sue Hansohn gave a hearty “thank you” from the residents along Rt. 640. That road is up for improvements with the approval of the Six-Year Secondary Road Plan now that it has been identified as a “rural rustic road.”

“The people of Docs Road say thank you,” said Hansohn.

Reduced fees County administrator John Egertson reported that typically water and sewer tap fees for the county have mirrored that of the town. However, this has not been the case at Clevengers Corner and the Airpark where connection fees are higher. Unanimously approved, those fees will now be reduced to be in line with the town’s.

Carver memories The board unanimously approved a request by Charles Jameson, Chairman of the George Washington Carver Alumni Association to have use of a space in the renovated building for showcasing artifacts and memorabilia from when that high school existed in the county.

“We wish to have this place remembered...to leave a legacy,” said Jameson who reported they are in the initial stages of seeking grant monies, fundraising and, most importantly, looking for help in recovering lost items like trophies and photographs.

COUNTY NEWS Atchison to retire At Tuesday morning’s Culpeper County Board of Supervisors meeting, county administrator John Egertson presented Barry Atchison with a plaque and many kudos.

Atchison has served 12 years with the county and will retire on June 1 of this year. Serving as deputy clerk, Atchison was praised for his work ethic and commitment to county service.

“We’ve valued his humor and calm demeanor,” said Egertson, “he’s truly been an inspiration to county employees.”

Atchison is a familiar face at The Graffiti House where he works as a volunteer. Should you want some firsthand “ghost” stories, seek him out as he’s had several personal experiences. He’s also known for his handiwork as a wood craftsman creating clever toys with mechanical pulley systems.

A standing ovation by board members and the audience put a smile on his face. “We thank him for a job faithfully and well done,” said Egertson.

Chairman Alex Fritz presented Atchison with the recognition. “You’ll certainly be missed.”

McLearen steps up Serving as county zoning administrator since 2001, it was announced Tuesday morning that Sam McLearen will now have a new role as County Planning Director, a job that John Egertson had filled until being named County Administrator.

A graduate of Mary Washington College, McLearen happily reported that he has already assumed the tasks of the new position.

The Fellowship Hall at Reformation Lutheran Church was packed April 18 for the first gathering of a new senior study group spearheaded by Pastor Brad Hales and member Al Aitken.

Restoring America’s ‘CORPS’ Judeo-Christian values

By Anita L. Sherman TIMES WRITER

You might be hard pressed to find two more energetic, passionate and committed gentlemen than Pastor Brad Hales at Reformation Lutheran Church and Al Aitken, former chairman of the Culpeper County Republican Committee. The two of them have teamed up to offer the senior community something very special and unique.

They held their first gathering in April to a packed fellowship hall at the church.

More than 50 showed up.

The focus is trifold: to celebrate aging, to study scripture and to learn more about Judeo Christian values and how they merge with the documents created by the Founding Fathers.

Sound like a packed agenda?

Did I mention guest speakers? Judge Dale Durrer,Virginia 16th District Court, was on hand for the debut meeting.

It doesn’t end there as lunch is included, door prizes awarded and there’s no limit on the fellowship.

According to co-founder Al Aitken, the group is springboarding off a Constitution Study Group that was started several years ago.

“We’re calling it Christian Organization of Retired Persons or CORPS,” says Aitken, a former Marine officer, “and the program will include prayer, a Bible study, guest speaker, lunch and following episodes of the American Heritage Series.”

Pastor Hales works in senior ministry.

As a member of the North American Lutheran Church Aging Ministry, one of his personal missions is to reinforce that “as we age, our value increases.”

“We’re never too old to serve,” said Hales who used a reading from Samuel to

talk about a very aged man, Barzillai, who at age 80 was called upon to serve his king and did so with heart.

For Aitken, a man steeped in history, studying and learning more about the original documents that have shaped the creation of this nation and how they reinforce Judeo-Christian values, is exactly his cup of tea.

“I see this study group going on for many months...perhaps years,” says Aitken who peaked the interest of the group by showing the first episode of the American Heritage Series narrated by historian and author David Barton.

With the nation gripped in the throws of the 2016 presidential race, Barton’s narrative looks to the original documents created by the Founding Fathers for guidance, introspection and reflection. Abridged and edited through the decades, it is an eye opener to realize or relearn that, as an example, many of the Founding Fathers like Benjamin Franklin were opposed to slavery in the mid 1700s.

Another example, as we look back to our own education, one of the key reasons that jumps out when talking about the colonies and their break from England is, “No taxation without representation.” While that is certainly echoed in the Declaration of Independence, it is not the top reason for splitting. Barton’s point is that somewhere along the line, history books refocused on “economy” and now, as we look to future leaders, we think of them in terms of their ability to create jobs, reduce the deficit, balance trade and improve our ability to attain wealth. Studying the original documents reveals that while the “economy” is important that other attributes like char➤ See CORPS, Page 5

Culpeper Times • May 5-11, 2016 ➤ CORPS, from Page 4 acter, honor, high morals and conduct and actions based on Christian beliefs ranked higher.

Judge Durrer, in his remarks, also looked to scripture and sees examples of God as lawgiver, king and judge. “I believe that this points to the underpinnings of our three branches of government,” said Durrer who encouraged all those present to vote, stay involved and that “every election matters.

“We’re going to have assignments with this study group,” said Aitken referring to two books by W. Cleon Skousen that will be part of the group’s curriculum. Both books were given as door prizes.

With more than 30 percent of Culpeper’s population falling into the senior category agewise, Hales is firmly committed to the notion that attitude defines much of how we view, not only ourselves, but those around us who are older.

Statistically, often those who retire, find themselves with not only a reduced income, but time on their hands. Many return to the workforce as “the unretired” now competing with college graduates or those retraining for another career. As long as poor health isn’t a barrier, folks are living longer and often embrace new jobs, relationships and ventures.

“I don’t think of retirement but rather refirement,” said Hales. “We can continue to give and learn...we have value.”

Encouraged by the first robust turnout, Hales and Aitken look forward to future meetings. Incorporating prayer, Bible

Study and a course on history, the group’s mission is ambitious on an intellectual and spiritual level. Perfect for all those over 50, the group is nonpartisan and ecumenical.

When my sister phoned to say that she had died, my sadness was overshadowed by my relief. Her last years had been difficult and without dignity for her.

A series of strokes had left her unable to walk and her entire left side was paralyzed. Her vision, which was already bad, worsened and she wasn't able to hear.

Yet, her mind was intact, and even though she tended to wander down paths of the past, she still was aware of her deteriorating condition and frustrated by her inability to do the things she loved.

She could only read for small periods; the letters appeared jumbled when she was able to make them out, and her fingers had long ceased to be able to crochet or hold a pencil long enough to fill in the blanks of the daily crossword puzzle.

But there was a time when mother was strong and her fingers were nimble.

When I was very small, some of my earliest memories were of my mother carefully fingering brilliant white gloves on my hands. They were the final touch to my new navy blue coat that had a large white collar edged with scalloped lace.

I also had a white beret that she stylishly pushed to one side.

My greatest pleasures were found

in the shopping trips that we took together.

We'd get on a faded red bus that wound its way through our neighborhood nearly on the hour and head to downtown Portland some 30 minutes away.

Once there, she rarely released my hand, and we would go to our favorite haunts, which included Olds and King and Meier and Frank department stores.

On one trip, she bought me a pale green sweater that didn't ride up my arms. I remember the polished buttons. She also bought me a new lunch box for school. She liked the one with a Scottish plaid design but let me buy the one plastered with Superman comics.

Then she took me to the toy department and let me choose a new doll. She loved dolls, especially the ones with porcelain heads and fancy dresses.

When our shopping was done, we'd usually go to the basement cafeteria and have clam chowder and egg salad sandwiches. When I was older, we'd frequent the Georgian Tea room and have a glass of wine with our meal.

I had my first cup of coffee when I was about 12. It was heavily sedated with cream and sugar. Later I drank it ➤ See Mama, Page 7

➤ Mama, from Page 6 black, like my mother did.

One of my mother's particularities was that she absolutely would not drink coffee from anything other than a cup and saucer. She rarely would use a mug, and under no circumstances would she touch Styrofoam.

She loathed the sight of a ketchup bottle on the table.

One wintry day as I was walking home from St. Rose Catholic School, I caught a glimpse out of my left eye of chubby Steven Cooke abreast a hill crafting a snowball. I should have followed my instincts and crossed the street but I did not. Once his snowball was done, he let it loose, and it hit me hard on the forehead.

I still wasn't too big to sit on my mother's lap. As she wiped away the tears streaming down my face, she told me not to be offended by the uncivilized acts of uncouth and naughty boys, and then she offered me a Cadbury bar.

That was another of her favorites — chocolate, and the richer the better.

Mother loved the taste of butter, and explained to me one day that she was saving my father money. She told me that since she didn't frequent beauty parlors, in her mind, butter was a much better bargain.

My first piano lessons were with a bitter little nun that had bad breath and scared me to death. She'd place

her bony hands atop mine and scream at me when I didn't get a note correct.

My mother wanted me to learn to play and found a different teacher that lived near us. I loved Mrs. Booth and her two furry dogs and flourished under her direction.

I would sit and play the piano for hours while my mother would read or knit. Her favorite composer was Chopin, and even though she couldn't read music, she knew when I'd made a mistake.

She was a consummate reader and loved poetry, particularly Wordsworth.

One spring day when our daffodils were in full bloom I gathered a bouquet, hid them behind my back, memorized and recited his poem, "I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud" and then presented her with them.

She discovered Carlos Castaneda before I did when I was in college and introduced me to Wallace Stegner. She devoured Agatha Christie's novels and always reminded me how clever an author she was.

Our bathroom always had a different scent because my mother loved soaps. But she refused to use grocery-store brands. She told me that they were harsh and would burn your skin. Instead, whenever we went on our shopping trips, she would buy a box of special soaps. I liked them because the bars were always larger and sculpted and I never got burned or had red skin with them.

There were a lot of things about my mother that bothered me, and as I

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

was growing up I knew that I would be very different from her.

She never drove a car and never worked outside the home, even though she had been a teacher before she married my father. Her gradual loss of hearing was annoying, and she was always nagging me about standing up straight and wondering if I was happy.

She had no financial sense and no understanding of the business world.

She had no interest in politics and couldn't understand why I wouldn't wear my skirts longer.

But my appreciation for her catapulted upon the birth of my own daughter. Now, a mother myself, I could comprehend the awesome responsibility of raising a child and wanting to do it with heart.

I'm a big girl now and have three children and a granddaughter of my own. I certainly learned to drive and have jobs and, on occasion, balance a checkbook. I understand about dying and death and loss.

But whenever I am cuddled up with a freshly sharpened pencil and a crossword puzzle— or hear a prelude

by Chopin— or reach to take the ketchup bottle off the table — or add butter to a recipe — or bathe with lavender soap — I remember mama and wish that she and I could share a cup of coffee together again.

Familiarity breeds perfection at Custom Care Lawn Service

By Jeff Say STAFF WRITER

Repetition is the secret to success for the crew at Custom Care Lawn Service.

Started 13 years ago by Steve Steigler, now owner of Outdoor Power Equipment in Orange, the business uses a simple method when it comes to ensuring their customer’s lawns are picture perfect.

Familiarity is key.

Sporting three crews of seven workers, every employee at Custom Care visits every customer’s property so they all know exactly how the job should be completed properly. That level of customer care is at the heart of their interactions with the public.

Offering basic lawn care, aeration, drainage, landscape and hardscape services, pressure washing and even snow removal Custom Care can do it all.

“We’re a quality, not a quan-

tity company,” sales manager Amy Lang said.

Steigler said he started as a part time business, but it quickly grew.

A fully licensed and insured company, Custom Care Lawn Service also keeps the same crew 12 months out of the year, helping the company know exactly how customers like to have their work completed.

“Everybody likes something different, some like their lawn cut in a diamond, some don’t,” Lang said.

The other benefit of dealing with Custom Care is that using the excuse of having broken equipment will never work - because if something breaks then Outdoor Power Equipment is right there to fix it.

And if a customer is having their equipment repaired at OPE, they can have the crew from Custom Care go take care of their lawn.

That attention to detail has helped spread the word, Lang said, pointing out that most of their advertisement has come from word of

Custom Care Lawn Service has operated in Orange for the past 13 years and takes pride in its attention to detail. mouth.

Part of that has come from the addition of Lang, who joined about a year ago as Steigler switched his focus to OPE. “I’m spending most of my time here, she’s able to take over the day-to-day operations of Custom

Care,” Steigler said.

That includes going out with the crews and making sure that everything is going according to plan.

“I’m a little OCD,” Lang said with a laugh. “I like to visit the properties with the crews, I’m very strict with what we do.”

HOME & GARDEN

If you find a fawn, leave it alone Contributed Report It's that time of year again when white-tailed deer fawns are showing up in yards and hayfields, and concerned citizens want to know how to help. In almost all cases, the best way to help is to simply give the fawn space and leave it alone.

Concerned people sometimes pick up animals that they think are orphaned.

Most such "orphans" that goodintentioned citizens "rescue" every spring should have been left alone.

Most wild animals will not abandon their young, but they do leave them alone for long periods of time.

Fawns, born from April through July, are purposely left alone by their mothers.

Female deer, called does, stay away from the fawns to avoid leading predators such as dogs or coy-

otes to their location. The whitespotted coat camouflages a fawn as it lies motionless in vegetation.

Young fawns are "hiders" and will not try to run away when they are approached.

Does will return several times each day to move and/or feed their young.

You probably will not see the doe at all since she only stays to feed the fawn for just a very few minutes before leaving it alone again.

If less than 24 hours have passed since a fawn has been "rescued," the fawn should be taken back and released at the exact same location where it was found.

If a wild animal has been injured or truly orphaned, do not take matters into your own hands.

You may locate a licensed wildlife rehabilitator by calling the Vir➤ See Fawns, Page 10

➤ Fawns, from Page 11 ginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries' (VDGIF) tollfree wildlife conflict helpline at 1-855-571-9003, 8 a.m.-4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday or visit the VDGIF website at: http://www. dgif.virginia.gov/wildlife/injured/ rehabilitators.asp Raising a wild animal in captivity is illegal unless you have a wildlife rehabilitation permit, which is issued by VDGIF. Each animal's nutritional, housing, and handling requirements are very specific and must be met if they have any chance of survival. Feeding the wrong food to a fawn can make it very sick and possibly lead to its death.

For example, cow's milk can induce severe diarrhea in fawns.

With even the best professional care possible, the survival rate of rehabilitated fawns and many other animals is very low. More than 50 percent of fawns brought to rehabilitation facilities die before being released due to injuries they come in with and unavoidable physical stress during the rehabilitation process. Of those fawns that are released, a very small percentage survives the first year in the wild.

Furthermore, many rehabilitation facilities have to turn fawns away due to limited housing and

staff. Wildlife managers have additional concerns about fawn rehabilitation.

The process requires deer to be moved, treated—often in contact with other deer—and then released back into the wild. Often, rehabilitated deer must be released into areas with already high deer populations.

Movement and commingling of deer increase the risks that contagious diseases, such as tuberculosis or chronic wasting disease (CWD), will be introduced into Virginia's wild deer population. In fact, detections of CWD in Frederick and Shenandoah Counties have prompted the prohibition of deer rehabilitation in Clarke, Frederick, Shenandoah, and Warren Counties. See: http://www.dgif. virginia.gov/wildlife/diseases/cwd/.

The best advice for someone who wants to help wildlife is to keep it wild.

Once people interfere, we reduce the opportunity for animals to receive natural care and we increase the risk of harming our wildlife heritage.

More information can be obtained on the agency's website: http://www.dgif.virginia.gov/wildlife/deer/.

Among the useful resources is a brochure entitled 'Keeping Deer Wild in Virginia' http://www.dgif. virginia.gov/wildlife/deer/keepingdeer-wild/.

VA811 and Dominion recommend that homeowners and contractors remember: l Plan ahead: always call 8-1-1 at least three business days before digging and allow time for marking, regardless of the depth of the dig or familiarity with the property.

l If a contractor has been hired, confirm that a call to 811 has been made. l After you see paint markings or flags, but before you start to dig, confirm with the VA811 call center that all utilities have responded and marked their lines. l Consider moving your project if it is near utility line markings.

BEHIND THE BADGE Discipline defines Washington Personal discipline defines Victor Washington. It gives him a quiet authority that manifests itself in speech and physicality. The tall, sinewy Sergeant moves with the athletic grace of a Joe DiMaggio -- and for good reason. He played sports all of his life, competed in bodybuilding and taught others the art of good nutrition and exercise. Those who know Washington say he is defined by something else: his devotion to his children – and it was that commitment that eventually forced a hard decision.

Washington’s path to law enforcement is circuitous and intertwined with his devotion to family. He began his work career in the Navy, following in his father’s footsteps. With a Top Secret clearance he served on the first nuclear aircraft carrier, The Enterprise. “I saw it in dry dock and my eyes kept looking up and up,” he recalls of his first look at the assignment.

After six years active duty seeing the world from a carrier, Washington came back home in Northern

Victor Washington

Sergeant, Culpeper County Jail Married: 3 children, 1 grandson Hobbies: personal training, motorcycles, sports Virginia and to a job with a civilian communications contractor -- then he worked with his father. In 1991 he took a job on the management team of a waste management company. In addition to his full time job Washington followed his passion for physical fitness as a Physical Trainer at Gold’s Gym in Chantilly. There he met his future wife.

In 1999 he married at Antioch Baptist Church, moved to Culpeper and took a job in Charlottesville. His neighbor was former sheriff Robert E. Peters.

“We would always have good talks,” he said of his interactions with Peters and others in the Sheriff’s Department who lived in the neighborhood. Those talks had a profound impact on Washington

because in 2004 he faced a choice: continue the commute to Charlottesville and miss out on being around his children or work locally. Based on knowing deputies in the Sheriff’s Office he decided to take a job working night shift at the Culpeper Jail – easily said but in reality a hard choice. He switched careers and took a salary cut, but the benefits outweighed the sacrifices. Washington was there for his children during the day. At night he worked but his wife was home from her job in Northern Virginia.

“From the start he's always made it clear that his kids come first,” Sheriff Scott Jenkins said. “That's been the basis of his decision to always work night shift. He's been offered transfers to other divisions such as courts or school resource and even promotions and turned them down specifically because of his kids,” Jenkins said.

“I get by on not much sleep,” Washington says of his days. But being a “hands on father” makes it all worthwhile. “It was,” as he put it, “meant to be” that he lived here and worked here in a profession much different from where he began.

Since then Washington has served under three Sheriff’s administrations but he says the current administration “has been the most rewarding.”

“It feels like home,” he says of his work in the jail. “I really feel that honor—that commitment in the people that work there.”

Known for his quiet authority and people skills Washington finds few problems with inmates. “I treat them the way I would want to be treated,” he said.

The art of healing

Artists and clinicians alike have long known about the connection between art and healing. Art can take many forms, including music, visual art, expressive writing and movement.

At UVA Culpeper Hospital, we see the value of creating an inviting and warm space for our patients, guests and staff.

Through the work of our Images Committee, we have created a Healing Art Program at our hospital.

The Images Committee is comprised of committed community members who have been working to select an overall look and feel for our hospital, which includes original, local art.

They have selected oils, pastels,

acrylics, watercolors, photography, drawing and even a quilt for patients, guests and staff to enjoy.

You can find soothing and cheerful art in patient rooms, down the corridors and in common areas such as the coffee shop and lobby. Over the next several months, you will see our hospital transform as we incorporate new finishes, new furniture and new artwork.

Not only will we have original art throughout the hospital, we also have a changing art show.

This exhibit will rotate each quarter and will feature local artists from our community. All works of art in the exhibit are available for sale and 20 percent of the purchase will go to the Hospital Employee Scholarship Fund.

To kick off the rotating art show, we worked with the Firnew Farm Artists’ Circle to install new artwork from its members.

The artwork is truly remarkable

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Arbitrary salary increases

and creates a colorful and welcoming place for our patients, visitors and staff.

The next time you are in the hospital, I encourage you to take some time to observe and appreciate the whimsical paintings in the Family Birth Center, the serene scenes in the emergency room and the fun fruit in the coffee shop. At UVA Culpeper Hospital, we want to create an environment that is welcoming and soothing. We hope the Healing Art Program is a way to do this.

Greg Napps is the CEO of UVA Culpeper Hospital.

Larry Green's letter "Perhaps a closer look at the county budget is needed" in the April 28 Culpeper Times exposed an unethical practice.

He states, "One department director has received raises that translate to an approximate 60 percent salary increase during a three-year period... this extraordinary increase is based upon an impending retirement."

Pension payments are based on the salary for the final years of employment. Arbitrary salary increases for retiring employees affect county budgets. They also cause all of us to pay higher Virginia taxes to cover inflated pensions.

Governor’s act “unconstitutional” and “unprecedented” As you have probably heard, Governor McAuliffe has recently used his executive power to restore voting rights to more than 206,000 convicted felons in Virginia.

This is an unconstitutional and unprecedented abuse of executive authority the governor is using to affect the election this November and ensure his long-time friend, Hillary Clinton, becomes the next President of the United States.

We cannot let this happen.

I want to let you know that actions are being taken to address this issue.

Senate and House Republicans have hired attorney Charles Cooper to challenge Governor McAuliffe’s executive order. I also want to share with you a press release that was

REEVES REPORT Bryce Reeves

sent out May 2 with more information about this decision.

RICHMOND, VA, 2 MAY 2016 – Speaker of the House William J. Howell (R-Stafford) and Senate Majority Leader Thomas K. Norment, Jr. (R-James City) announced May 2 that House and Senate Republicans have retained attorney Charles J. Cooper to challenge Governor Terence R. McAuliffe’s (D) order restoring the civil rights of over 206,000 convicted felons. Mr. Cooper is a founding partner and chairman of Cooper & Kirk PLLC and a nationally recognized litigator and appellate attorney.

“Governor McAuliffe adopted an unprecedented view of executive authority and exceeded the powers granted to him by the Constitution of Virginia when he issued the order restoring the rights of more than 200,000 convicted felons,” said Speaker Howell. “It is the obligation of the legislative and judicial branches to serve as a check on overreaches of executive power. To that end, we are

prepared to uphold the Constitution of Virginia and the rule of law by challenging Governor McAuliffe’s order in court.

“We have retained Attorney Charles J. Cooper to challenge the Governor’s order. Mr. Cooper is an experienced attorney with over 35 years of public and private practice experience. An Assistant Attorney General under President Ronald Reagan, he has argued cases before the United States Supreme Court.

The National Law Journal named Mr. Cooper one of the 10 best civil litigators in Washington. He will immediately begin developing the best path to challenge the Governor’s action as quickly as possible. Our goal is to challenge this order and to win, and that means we must act with due diligence as we prepare to move forward. Taxpayer funds will not be used for this lawsuit.”

“Governor McAuliffe’s disregard for the Constitution of Virginia and the rule of must not go unchecked,” said Majority Leader Norment. “His

predecessors and previous attorneys general examined this issue and consistently concluded Virginia’s governor does not have the power to issue blanket restorations. By doing so now with the acknowledged goal of affecting the November election, he has overstepped the bounds of his authority and the constitutional limits on executive powers.

“We have retained Mr. Cooper to examine the legal options to remedy this Washington-style overreach by the executive branch. Mr. Cooper is an extremely qualified attorney and we have every confidence he will proceed prudently, judiciously, and expeditiously.”

Please know that I will continue to fight against this illegitimate and unlawful use of executive power, and I will always fight to defend the Constitution and protect Virginia.

Governor’s veto of HB1234 speaks to different priorities FROM THE DELEGATES' DESK Michael Webert

The Virginia General Assembly completed its “reconvened” session—a single day meeting of the legislature to consider and vote on Governor Terry McAuliffe’s amendments and vetoes to various bills passed by both the House

and Senate.

One of the proposals vetoed by the Governor that was taken up during the reconvened session, HB1234, sponsored by Del. Lingamfelter, would have given localities the autonomy to determine if school security officers could carry a firearm on school property in the performance of his or

her duties.

In the Governor’s news release regarding his veto of the bill, he claimed he opposed the measure because, “This bill would expose schools and students to unnecessary risk and potential harm by allowing individuals without adequate training to carry firearms on school grounds.”

Based off this statement it appears the Governor conveniently overlooked the provision in the legislation that required a school security officer carrying firearms “annually participates in the same firearms training and testing and meets the training and qualification standards to carry firearms as is required of an active law-enforcement officer in the Commonwealth.” This caveat was included to ensure proficiency in firearms training for the school security officer.

The other safeguard in the bill stipulated that the only school security personnel that “may carry a firearm in the performance of his duties… is a retired law-enforcement officer.”

This language established a practical standard for security officers whom would have been permitted to carry firearms.

Apparently, these provisions were insufficient for the Governor, a man who always pontificates vague platitudes regarding safety. While I am disheartened this proposal was vetoed, and the veto was sustained by Democratic members of the House, I am not surprised. Governor Terry McAuliffe and I just have different views when it comes to promoting public safety. I believe it’s important to protect our children by allowing retired law-enforcement professionals who undergo constant firearms

training to defend our schools. The Governor believes it’s more important to overstep his authority by violating the Virginia Constitution with a blanket restoration of rights also disregarding whether an individual is a non-violent or violent felon, including murderers, rapists and pedophiles. I chalk it up to different priorities.

May is Melanoma Awareness Month Skin cancer is the most common cancer in the United States, affecting one in five Americans. It is estimated that more than 8,500 people are diagnosed with skin cancer every day, and one person dies of melanoma every hour.

Fortunately, there are steps you can take to reduce your skin cancer risk and detect skin cancer in its earliest stages, when it’s most treatable. As a board-certified dermatologist and

member of the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), Dr. Juan-Carlos Caballero is asking the public to make sure their skin is “Looking Good in 2016” by practicing skin cancer prevention and performing regular skin self-exams.

Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer, and is highly curable when detected early; but advanced melanoma can spread to the lymph nodes and internal organs, and can

be deadly. Caucasian men older than 50 have a higher risk of developing melanoma than the general population.

The AAD urges everyone to examine their skin regularly. This means looking over your entire body, including your back, your scalp, your palms, your soles and between your toes.

Problematic moles are generally larger than 6mm and variable in color. They ➤ See Melanoma, Page 21

No taxation without representation CULPEPER CURRENTS

Ten years prior to the onset of the American Revolution, the Colonies and Great Britain clashed over a piece of controversial legislation. The British Parliament passed the Stamp Act into law on March 22, 1765. It was to take effect the following November first. It required that most printed materials in America be produced on paper carrying an official British stamp.

And the stamps could only be paid for with British hard currency. The tax money was to repay Britain’s debt in funding the French and Indian War, and to pay those British soldiers still on duty in America.

The previous year, the British had passed the Sugar Act and there had been talk at that time about the possibility of a Stamp Act. The House of Burgesses in Virginia had sent correspondence to King George III and the Parliament addressing their concerns. They hastened to remind them that “the People are not subject to any taxes but such as are laid on them by their own consent, or by those who are legally appointed to represent them.”

The colonists had no representatives in the Parliament.

They felt they could be taxed only by their own colonial legislatures.

Certainly they felt if they ceded to this, it would only be the start of many taxes to come.

(The Sugar Act was the continuation of an earlier law known as the Molasses Act and concerned revenues on the trade of goods from the British West Indies. It did not incite the ire of the colonists to the extent the Stamp Act did for the Stamp Act was the first legislation that imposed a direct tax on the American colonists.)

When the colonists read the particulars of the Stamp Act, their rage intensified.

All manner of printed materials were subject to the tax including court documents, land grants (with tax amounts rising according to the number of acres), newspapers and pamphlets, and even packs of playing

cards. The highest amount of tax, 10 pounds, was to be on attorney licenses.

On May 29, 1765, on his 29th birthday, and attending his first session in the House of Burgesses as a member from Louisa County, Patrick Henry took the floor to denounce the Stamp Act. His speech shocked older members for its intensity of feeling against the British. But it swayed the assembly to pass resolutions known as the Virginia Resolves. The Resolves essentially reiterated the messages sent to England the previous year.

They emphasized that colonial citizens were “entitled to all Liberties, Privileges, and Immunities of Denizens and natural Subjects, to all Intents and Purposes, as if they had been abiding and born within the Realm of England,” and “that the Taxation of the People by themselves, or by Persons chosen by themselves to represent them” was “the only Security against a burdensome Taxation, and the distinguishing characteristic of British freedom.”

Next, Richard Henry Lee of Westmoreland County called for a boycott of British goods, and secured the signatures of more than 100 Virginia planters for his protest.

Other colonies followed suit, and hundreds of merchants in the major ports of New York, Boston, and Philadelphia agreed to halt the import of most British goods.

Caught in the middle of the conflict were the men hired to be the stamp distributors.

Some public protests in New England turned violent, with several distributors being run out of town or having personal property destroyed.

Soon many distributors decided the job wasn’t worth the risk.

Worried about having to act in this capacity, a group of local men made what had to be a soul-searching decision.

On October 21, 1765, in a letter to Virginia governor Francis Fauquier, 16 commissioners of the Culpeper County Court resigned. They wrote: As the execution of the said act Dose in Some measure Depend on the County Courts we cannot if consistent with that duty which we owe our Country to be in the smallest Degree Instrumental in & enforcing a law which conceive as in

If you notice a mole different from others, or one that changes, itches or bleeds, even if it is smaller than 6mm, you should make an appointment to see a board-certified dermatologist as soon as possible.

Brown, Ambrose Powell, Wm. Brown, Henry Field, Jr., and Joseph Wood – it was a smart response. It saved their good reputations, and possibly the peace in Culpeper County.

By November 1, there were no distributors left to sell the dreaded stamps, meaning the law actually never took effect.

On that day, church bells were rung throughout the colonies as another sign of protest.

Ultimately, the protests and the boycott of British goods worked.

After pressure from the merchants and suppliers in England, Parliament voted to repeal the Stamp Act, the decision made official by the King on March 18, 1766.

I spent two days last week learning about my community, my classmates and most importantly myself.

Now, that last part of the sentence is tough for me to type. As anyone who knows me is likely to attest, I don’t think of myself often. It’s how I burned myself out in the past, taking on too much responsibility because I believe that if others see me chipping in they’ll follow my lead.

Until I took Lead Culpeper, I didn’t know that had a name.

Under the Life Orientations Training, I discovered I’m what you would call a Support Giving personality. There are others - Adapting Dealing, Conserving Holding and Controlling Taking. In our class of 17 people there were all styles of leadership skills represented. Strong alpha types who take control; analytical personalities who weighed every option before taking action; cheery, enthusiastic folks who cheered us on and those of us who were helpful and considerate.

I'm also one who usually didn’t buy into these leadership

I ingest knowledge visually.

That’s why I’ve always hated numbers, statistics and analytics unless I can physically touch something or comprehend it immediately I have trouble digesting it on a mental level.

That’s how I came to my big epiphany moment during the recent Lead Culpeper retreat at Verdun Adventure Bound.

Now, to backtrack a little bit, if you’ve never been to Verdun I’d recommend you remedy that now. Most people I know usually respond with, “oh, I drive by that place on Route 229 all the time.” Seeing a sign does not convey the message and mission of the location - to build teamwork, to learn about yourself and to vastly improve your knowledge.

and personality tests, call it the skeptic journalist in me.

However, when something is presented to me in front of my own two eyes and I have that “aha” moment, I find it hard to not buy in.

Case in point.

During the first day of our training, Katie Snyder walked us through the LIFO test and helped assign us our numbers.

Then, we went to corresponding quadrants of the room for favorable and unfavorable conditions.

During the unfavorable exercise, I noticed that most of the room was on the other side - either in conserving holding or controlling taking. I stood alone in the support giving side doubling down on my strength.

It wasn’t until later in the week that I realized how true it was.

Fast forward to Friday, when our team of 17 went to the “spider web.” A rope web was intertwined through two trees and our mission was to send through our teammates one at a time, without touching the rope.

Easier said than done, but our team had a lot to say. We discussed strategy, angle of entry, order, the weather - just about every topic that could be broached.

During this conversation, things became more and more confrontational as everyone had great ideas - but sometimes they weren’t heard.

It was during this point that I felt myself shutting down, so I stepped back and took a deep breath.

It was then, as I stood at the back and looked at all my teammates in the front that I realized I had fulfilled the LIFO prophecy - it was just like in the room the day before.

Eventually, after a mysterious “bug” bit all of us and made us silent (trust me, this makes sense if you were there) we communicated nonverbally and got everyone across.

It wasn’t the most successful venture - we definitely touched the rope more than we should have, but for me it was successful. I bought into the method and that’s going to help down the road.

During the week, we had to identify our weakness and promise to address it. Mine is offering too much help and not accepting it, so if I say no to you during the next 21 days don’t feel bad. It’s part of my training.

Athlete of the week: Jacob Neff

➤ Victory is the only reward required for this Blue Devils senior

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 boys lacrosse. 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

To be a successful lacrosse player it requires intelligence, skill, speed and focus---to be a top-rated defender it also takes a mentality where success comes directly from denying the sport’s most dynamic moment.

➤ Toddler, from Page 24 the front door of the house. Bowles followed.

The SWAT team secured the house. Jeffery told deputies she worked nights and was asleep, according to Detective Brown. She said she thought Bowles was watching the children, according to Detective Brown.

Deputies contacted the Department of Social Services who sent a Child Protective Services Worker to evaluate the safety of the children.

According to Captain White a safety plan was created for the children and they were released to a family friend.

More than 20 officers were involved in the 4-hour incident. Jeffersonton Road was closed off while officers accessed the scene. One school bus was returned with students inside because of the road closure.

Both Jeffery and Bowles were charged with violating two counts of 18.2-371.1(b), Child Neglect, all of which are Class 6 felonies. Both were given a secured bond of $1,500 and are now out, according to Cap-

“We did not know whether we had a homicide, a murder suicide or a hostage situation.”

Goal scorers often garner the majority of headlines while defensive success is often the domain of the quiet professional. The work is gritty and sometimes frustrating.

Lacrosse is a sport developed by Native American braves—that warrior spirit can still be seen on the field when it is played well.

“As a defender I do the best I can every game—that’s my secret,” said Culpeper senior Jacob Neff. “I don’t set milestones. If I play my best each minute I’m in that’s a goal reached

and if I gave it my best that’s all the reward I need.”

Coaches, teammates and opponents have often mentioned Neff’s inner toughness, tenacity and ability to grow through adversity during his three years on varsity for the Culpeper Blue Devils. Sometimes a young athlete is tested; the growth comes from lessons learned.

“We’ve had a few ups and downs this season, but I think we are coming together as a team,” said Neff.

“Our challenge has been to play

AUTOMOTIVE SHOWCASE

complete games and make the best of all our minutes played. We have the talent—what we need more of is consistency.”

Culpeper (7-3) has built a tradition of success in lacrosse, still regarded by some as a new varsity sport among local high schools. The Blue Devils have a solid defensive backfield led by Neff.

“I play close defense,” said Neff.

Don't overlook automotive technology as a high-tech career path

*New Customers Only

Parents, if becoming an automotive technician is not high on your list of career choices for your child, perhaps it’s time to look again.

Officials with the nonprofit National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) — the independent xxx group that tests and certifies the competence of auto technicians nationally — note that automotive service and repair has Courtesy of ASE changed dramatically in just the span of a generation.

High-tech systems unheard of 30 years ago are now standard equipment on much of the nation’s fleet of vehicles: stability and traction control systems, adaptive cruise control and variable valve timing, just to name a few. And Culpeper: 540-727-8034 Orange: 540-661-1300 more changes are on the way: hybrid, plug-in hybrid, and Truck Services: 540-829-4999 electric vehicles are commonplace; hydrogen fuel cell and other alternative fuel vehicles are deployed in municipal fleets around the country; and Internet connections, voice recognition commands and GPS mapping are available in economy to luxury models.

Given the advance of technology and a richly varied automotive industry that offers an array of positions and career paths, the future is bright for talented young persons with math, science, communications and technical skills.

And unlike many high-tech careers that require four, six, or even eight years of college, automotive technology careers can begin after just two years of education. As with any career, lifelong learning and continuing education is necessary, but the simple fact is, students in automotive technology can get out into the real world sooner – and with less college debt.

Moreover, job growth looks strong into the foreseeable future.

The U.S. Dept. of Labor’s Bureau of Labor Statistics forecasts automotive repair and maintenance industry is expected to add 237,500 new jobs and have a 30 percent growth rate through 2020, making technicians one of the top 20 jobs with relatively high median earnings and the potential for significant job openings over the next decade.

And with the outsourcing of jobs picking up steam – first manufacturing jobs, now computer programming, cus“Making the Schick happen every tomer call-center work, and accounting services all going day on New and Used cars and overseas – it should be comforting to know that automotive all of your service needs” service and repair is fairly immune to such moves..

Neff has been accepted to Bridgewater College and he plans on trying out for the lacrosse team there.

He is an excellent student by all accounts and he is looking forward to exploring new opportunities in college next year. In his free time Neff enjoys his family, friends and the outdoors.

“I like to spend time with family and friends,” said Neff. “I like canoeing and kayaking pretty much anything else outside.”

Culpeper Head Coach Scott Found never minces words when it comes to his players---he’s a realist and his players know it.

“What I like about coach is that

he gives it to us straight—good or bad he lets us know,” said Neff. “You know where you stand with coach.”

As the conclusion of his high school playing career draws closer Neff often reflects on a sport that he has grown to love and excel at.

“I’ve played lacrosse for 5 years— it’s funny I wasn’t even into sports as kid,” said Neff. “I was sick all the time then I saw lacrosse as a new sport… so I decided to hop into it.”

Neff is a groundbreaker for his family in the sport of lacrosse.

“My sister and father were big softball and baseball players—so I guess I can be considered some type of black sheep for playing lacrosse,” said Neff with a smile. “Family support is huge for me.”

Strong thunderstorms this week forced a cancellation of Culpeper’s non-conference game with John Champe High School---it was rescheduled for Wednesday. On Thursday, the Blue Devils will face cross-town rivals Eastern View. The Cyclones defeated the Devils 10-6 in

Winning team creates â&#x20AC;&#x153;pick me upâ&#x20AC;? box at E Squared competition

By Anita Sherman

TIMES STAFF

It was down to the final six teams Friday morning in the 8th annual E Squared competition. Reaching this point means that your business plan has passed muster and now itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s your opportunity to wow the panel of judges with your presentation. In this competition, 60 percent of your grade is based on the business plan with 40 percent directed at how you market your product or service and yourselves.

For 17-year-old Samantha Jackson, a junior at Culpeper County High School, their product had special meaning. Recently diagnosed with cancer, her mother would be the perfect recipient of a goodie box from â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Can Cer-Vive.â&#x20AC;?

Former county administrator Frank Bossio, who served as one of the judges, was immediately impressed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is something very needed and hits emotionally...this is right on.â&#x20AC;?

Colorful boxes packed with

healthy and fun items would be sent to friends or family who could use a one time or perhaps monthly â&#x20AC;&#x153;pick me upâ&#x20AC;? as they deal with the devastating effects of this disease.

Contents would be varied and could be theme oriented. A big plus was preparing boxes for children as well as adults. Jackson, along with her teammates, Abigail Place and Wyatt Phillips were jubilant when their business was chosen as the winner. Not only gratifying for all the hard work but rewarding as each of them will receive a $5,000 scholarship.

Place, 16, also a junior at CCHS summed up the feelings of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;I Can-Cer Vive Team.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;E-squared is an academic opportunity that every student should take advantage of! You get to practice public speaking skills and learn to work as a team. You recognize your own strengths and weaknesses and build on them.

The feeling of all of your hard work â&#x17E;¤ See E Squared, Page 32

(TOP LEFT): Abigail Place, 16, celebrates as judges announce "I CanCer Survive" the winner of E-Squared.

(TOP RIGHT) Their software program would certify high school students nationwide in sports medicine. "Certification Centric" team members are (L-R) Jordan Boyd, Nicole Bellucci and Michael Washington.

(BOTTOM RIGHT): Their product "Cul-peper Mints" focused on small communities with part of the proceeds going toward local non-profits.

Team members include (L-R) Gabrielle Beville, John McElroy and Taniel Tyler. ➤ E Squared, from Page 31 paying off is an exhilarating feeling and we are so proud and honored to have had the guidance of our amazing coaches John Marshall from Bingham and Taylor and Carolyn Burnett from Wells Fargo. It has been a wild experience and we will carry this journey and its lessons for the rest of our lives and we can thank the skills we portray in the workforce to E-Squared!”

Phillips, who will be heading to Bridgewater College in the fall, was all smiles. “This was a great experience and the money will certainly help.”

While the “I Can-Cer Vive” team took top honors, the other five teams were impressive.

Kyle Lafia, Rachel Bullard, and Jason Ford, also from Culpeper High School, created “Bag It Up. Knowing how hard it is to find that necklace or set of keys that is

quickly thrown into a back pack, their insertable bag would keep jewelry and other items safe by attaching anywhere inside the bag you’d like.

Certifications in a variety of areas are standard for high school students these days. Jordan Boyd, Nicole Bellucci, and Michael Washington did their homework researching tests throughout the country.

Their conclusion resulted in Certification Centric, an online test to certify high school students nationwide in sports medicine.

Gabrielle Beville, John McElroy and Taniel Tyler focused on good breath, small communities and helping nonprofits with their product Cul-Pepermints. The mints, packaged in a cute tin, could be individually labeled with your hometown on the cover. Not only that, a percentage of the cost would be directed to a local nonprofit of your

choice.

Amberly Harlow, Bryce Harty and Blake Fox came up with Comfort Charms. Reporting statistics on the increase of rape and abuse on college campuses, with a quick click of your charm, family members would be alerted that you are in trouble. Phase II of their company would be expanded to include 9-1-1. Wearable technology is big these days and their product was not only classy but geared toward safety.

When the sugar bug bites, drive over to Dessert and Dash. Hunter Mills, Ashleigh Fairfax, and Elizabeth Berry created a series of tasty treats that you could quickly bag, eat in the car or take home.

Overall, the judges were impressed.

“I’ve seen thousands of presentations from entrepreneurs,” said one of the judges, Joe Grills, “these kids would be right there...this pro-

gram teaches you how hard it is to be an entrepreneur.”

What is E Squared?

No doubt unique in the state, E Squared is a student leadership development program of Career Partners, Inc. Local businesses, education and government leaders partner to offer students the opportunity of a real-life business experience where they are creating business plans, creating a product or service and then competing to win over a panel of judges with their presentations.

Mentored by business and education leaders who act as coaches, teams of students from career tech classes take on the rigors of this several week program in addition to their regular schedules.

The rewards are worth the risks of attempting such a program.

Each participant of the winning team this year receives $5,000.
