Federal directive could impact local school districts At the June 13 meeting of the Culpeper County School Board nearly a dozen addressed the board about the Department of Justice letter regarding the federal government’s transgender policy. The policy directs school districts to provide any student who declares a “gender identity” opposite from their sex is to be granted access to restrooms, locker rooms, and showers of the opposite sex. Those students are also to be allowed on competitive athletic teams of the opposite sex. Failure to do so could result in loss of federal funding.

Local officials have weighed in on the issue including Sen. Jill Vogel, Sen. Bryce Reeves, Congressman Dave Brat and Delegate Nick Freitas voicing their concern that the federal government has no business in usurping the guidance of the local school board and state board of education.

Jefferson resident and Chairman of the Culpeper County Republican Committee Chuck Duncan urged that “Culpeper’s public schools adopt

Visiting the vineyard

PHOTO BY RICH CROWLEY

When Deborah McCall, who manages the house at the Old House Vineyards, found that I had lived in the Peper for almost nine years and had never been to this vineyard she laughingly said, "Shame on you."

Since I don't drink I did not imagine the cornucopia of beautiful and wonderful things that awaited me down that road. In addition to wine tasting, there are tours of the restored Old House, and the distillery plus the vineyards. The grounds are stunning and feature a large fishing pond with an island in the middle, and facilities for weddings and any other event you can think of. They have nice grounds where people can hold parties at no charge. This is a grand place for sponsored activities and scenic sunsets. Deborah is a delightful person and will take good care of you. ➤ Check out Rich’s blog at facesofculpeperva.blogspot.com and Faces of Culpeper on Facebook

Motorist and pedestrians should be aware of a new traffic controls for Sunset Lane pedestrian crossings in the vicinity of the Culpeper Regional Hospital. Town Public Works has completed installation of two separate LED crosswalk signals on Sunset Lane with the support of facilities staff at the hospital.

“These new, solar-powered LED crosswalk signals are the first of their kind to be installed in the Town of Culpeper and are intended to enhance pedestrian safety along this busy corridor,” said Public Services Director Jim Hoy. The new signals are actuated manually by pedestrians at the edge of the right of way and before entering the crosswalk. The high intensity LED lighting mounted below each crosswalk sign is intended to alert motorists that pedestrians may be entering the crosswalk and to be prepared to yield to pedestrians.

“This new signal technology should improve pedestrian safety,” said Assistant Public Works Director Gary Wise.

Always at ease and politically and philosophically prolific, Congressman Dave Brat (R-7) spoke for nearly an hour at Monday’s CORPS gathering held at Reformation Lutheran Church.

Brat a master at blending principles, philosophy and politics

By Anita L. Sherman TIMES STAFF WRITER

Pastor Al Swann led the Bible Study portion at Monday’s meeting of CORPS (Christian Organization of Retired Persons).

“Our system of government doesn’t work...our economic system doesn’t work... without the involvement of people in a Christian fashion,” he said.

His words were a good introduction to their guest speaker, Congressman Dave Brat (R-7) who joined the gathering comprised of some 50-60 who meet monthly for a jam packed session which includes a brief Bible Study, lunch, fellowship, usually a guest speaker and study assignments from founder Al Aitken. Many were packing a thick volume titled, “The

Making of America.”

A member of the House Budget Committee, Brat, who is also a member of the House Freedom Caucus, stays true to his conservative roots in chastising the current administration for not creating a budget that won’t see country drowning in debt in the foreseeable future. Now standing at some 20 trillion and growing, Brat and his fiscally minded colleagues in Congress warn of the dangers to tomorrow’s children if the problem doesn’t find a solution.

“In 10 years, all federal revenue will only be going to entitlement programs and paying the debt,” stressed Brat, “that’s medicare, social security...there will be no monies for the military, for education.”

“Oh, I think he might be

scaring them,” one lady said as she looked at two young men sitting at another table..."they’re very young.”

Brat, not mean-spirited, with two young children of his own, often wants to shake up his audience. He has said before, "we need a wakeup call ... we need to act."

When Brat speaks about the budget, he rarely minces words that if budget reform doesn’t happen and solutions aren’t found, it will be future generations that will pay the price for fruitless efforts to correct gross overspending by the federal government.

Brat broke down for the group his three guiding pillars which form the foundation of his beliefs.

As a former economics professor at Randolph Macon, Brat often takes a scholarly approach.

“When we talk about the Judeo-Christian tradition... it’s the whole tradition,” says Brat. “Look at Plato...

St. Augustine...St. Thomas Aquinas.”

Brat underscored that these early philosophers all spoke of the greater good which led into his second pillar - the rule of law. ➤ See Brat, Page 5

“We’ve gotten totally hijacked...Congress gave it all away,” Brat said noting that historically all universities had their roots as seminaries...Princeton and Harvard as notable examples.

Brat scoffs at accusations from the left that Republicans are the bad guys when addressing his third pillar free markets.

“Show me a country that is rich, compassionate and caring and I’ll show you a capitalist country.”

“Show me a country that has clean air and clean water and I’ll show you a capitalist country.”

“Show me a country that respects women and supports civil rights and I’ll show you a capitalist country.”

As Brat spoke, one attendee chirped up. “We’ve just sold 100 Boeing planes to Iran.”

The group sighed.

As Brat finished up he reminded the group that there was “no time to sleep” and to encourage people to vote and support him for his re-election bid in November. “The Hillary voters will come out.”

When asked about the upcoming Presidential election, Brat said that he supports the party’s nominee Donald Trump. Having said that, he clarified that while supportive, he is hopeful that Trump can curb his big mouth.

Now, an author, Brat has written a book “American Underdog: Proof that Principles Matter” scheduled to debut June 28, 2016. It is

Looking to November Running as the Republican nominee, Congressman Brat faces re-election in November to keep his seat in Virginia’s 7th District.

His Democratic opponent is Eileen Bidell, a Richmond attorney. Brat, who won in a landslide victory over incumbent Eric Cantor in 2014, will likely win again although it’s possible that Hillary Clinton voters could be a factor.

When asked how that race should turn out Associate Editor Geoffrey Skelley at Sabato’s Crystal Ball weighed in. Long regarded as a good political predictor Skelley, along with Larry Sabato, are anchored at the University of Virginia Center for Politics.

“It's unlikely that Brat will be in much danger in the 2016 general election.

The 7th District is a 56-44 Romney district based on the 2012 presidential vote by congressional district, which makes it a bit of a long shot for Democrats even if things are going very well for them at the top of the ticket,” said Skelley although noting that elections

are never exactly uniform.

“A useful way to think about potentially vulnerable House seats is to consider what a uniform wave might look like based on the presidential vote by district,” said Skelley referring to a piece they did which looked at how many districts were won by Barack Obama in 2012 and then looked to see how a uniform wave might influence what seats are in play, i.e.

Republican-held seats that become Obama seats as they add percentage points onto the Democratic share and subtract from the GOP share.

“We only went so far as to add three percentage points to Obama's percentage and subtract three from Romney's to see how many seats would then be "Obama seats" in such a scenario, and Brat's seat was far from being in the conversation,”said Skelly concluding, “perhaps Clinton can win by a doubledigit margin, but winning enough to bring the 7th into play will be very difficult.

Democrats in Virginia are much more likely to view the 2nd and 5th Districts as attainable if a Democratic wave does develop.”

Leaders meet to stop heroin

By Michael Melkonian TIMES CONTRIBUTOR

Editor’s Note: This article was published in December 2015 in the Fauquier Times. As a followup to the conference held last year, next Wednesday, June 29, the Blue Ridge Narcotics and Gang Task Force, the Culpeper County Sheriff’s Office and the Culpeper Town Police will present “Addressing the Heroin Epidemic as a Community.” The film Chasing the Dragon - The Life of an Opiate Addict will be shown at 5:30 p.m. Program starts at 6 p.m. Public encouraged to attend.

Heroin killed 239 Virginians last year. Two weeks ago, police, social workers and residents gathered in Culpeper to find out what to do about it.

Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring and about 250 others organized a community prevention conference Thursday, Dec. 3, with the goal of developing strategies for combating Virginia’s growing heroin epidemic.

Representatives from both the Warrenton Police Department and the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office attended, as well as community support groups from Fauquier.

They met with other law officers, mental health professionals, social workers, community groups, concerned residents and grieving parents and siblings, all crowded into a banquet hall at Germanna Community College in Culpeper.

The Blue Ridge Narcotics and Gang Task Force organized the event in association with the Rappahannock-Rapidan Community Services Board. The RRCSB provides mental health and substance abuse treatment throughout the region.

Against the growing weight of overdoses, dealers and abusers, one response emerged: the heroin epidemic is too great for one agency to tackle without help.

“There’s no one here from law enforcement that believes we can arrest away this epidemic,” task force Chairman and Culpeper Police Chief Chris Jenkins, said.

This refrain was repeated throughout the seven-hour summit.

Sobering statistics Last year, the number one cause of accidental death in Virginia was from drug poisoning. The 986 overdose deaths outpaced gun deaths and car crash deaths. Of those drug-related deaths, 955 were from

Culpeper Times • June 23-29, 2016

opiates like prescription pills and heroin – and 239 were from heroin alone.

As cocaine arrests dwindle, heroin arrests have surged. According to state police data, heroin arrests have doubled since 2011, up to over 1,900 in 2014. In contrast, Marijuana arrest have plateaued over the past few years at around 23,000, according to the state police arrests.

Warrenton Police Chief Louis Battle said the stats, trends and history are common knowledge among law enforcement, but what he was excited to see so many of Fauquier’s community organizations in Culpeper.

“A lot of these groups, not only are they working independently, but they seem to be organizing into a coalition too,” Battle said.

“Seeing that really gave me a renewed sense of enthusiasm that we can work together to eradicate the problem.”

The chance to get in the same room and network with all those community groups was “worth its weight in gold,” Lt. James Hartman, spokesperson for the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office, said.

“It speaks for the importance the community has put on this problem,” Hartman said. “It looks like we’ve come to the realization that it’s a community problem and that law enforcement alone can’t combat this.”

Attorney General Mark Herring swept in after lunch to screen “Heroin: The Hardest Hit,” an emotional video about heroin in Virginia. The 43-minute documentary represents a public relations effort to spearhead his office’s campaign against heroin.

“It’s impossible to watch the video and not be heartbroken at the stories that you hear,” Herring said. “While it’s difficult to watch because it’s so gripping, at the same time, it’s reality and we need to get the word out.”

As the lights came on after the short film, dozens of people wiped tears from their eyes and some escaped to the hallway to collect themselves.

“The ultimate goal is to save lives,” Herring said.

The numbers are staggering, he said, but the community will not solve the problem without a robust prevention and education effort and stepping up treatment availability.

Tom Murphy, a special agent with the Virginia State Police, echoed the refrain, saying that making arrests will not solve the problem.

“But that’s what we’re sworn to do,” Murphy said. “This day is important because it brings not only law enforcement here, but also people who can find help.” ➤ See Heroin, Page 21

That’s at least a common phenomenon with the killdeer, named for the sound of its piercing call.

A species that started out as a shorebird, it has adapted to living inland as well, especially near people. This is partly because we humans cleared much of what was once forest land, providing the open areas relatively clear of vegetation that this plover prefers for foraging and nesting. Along with driveways, these areas include golf courses, and, as I’ve found, rings for exercising horses.

Killdeer nests are just shallow scrapes in the ground, to which the birds add other materials, especially

pebbles. They pick up some of these nest materials as they are leaving and toss them over their shoulder into the nest, according to All About Birds, which adds that one nest in Oklahoma reportedly had accumulated 1,500 pebbles this way.

Recently, Flint Hill resident Phil Irwin, owner of the B&B Caledonia Farm 1812, contacted me about a pair of killdeer that had nested in the parking area at the end of his driveway.

Perhaps they knew that the farm is on the Virginia Birding and Wildlife Trail?

Phil says he has been alerting trail goers about the nest.

In visiting the nest site June 6, I found that it wasn’t smack in the middle of the parking area but instead a bit off to the side. After almost running over the nest himself before he saw it, Phil put a traffic cone and a log on the more-trafficked side of the nest to help other drivers avoid it, he says.

Culpeper Times • June 23-29, 2016

➤ Shorebird, from Page 8 females don’t differ in appearance, so I wasn’t sure which I was seeing on the nest the day I visited, but the other parent was just a few yards away. In approaching the nest slowly and quietly to get a few photos of the four eggs in it (an average-size clutch for killdeer), the parent on the nest kept a wary eye on me while frequently calling. Perhaps it was trying to warn me off or to bring its mate, which showed no interest in coming to help.

Killdeer parents will often try to lure predators away by feigning a broken wing, dragging it on the ground to make the adult seem easy prey. But the one on the nest didn’t do this, perhaps because I was too close or because there were also workmen, with a big truck, just a few yards from the nest, so the bird may have realized that the trick wouldn’t work in this case. Killdeer will also stretch their necks up, expanding the black bands on them and this making the birds more imposing to potential predators. The killdeer on the nest was doing this, along with spreading out its feathers to cover the eggs.

I managed to get a good look at three of the eggs, taking a couple of photos, before backing off to leave the parents alone. The eggs were relatively large and mottled with black, blending in well with the driveway. After I backed off, the other killdeer came over and hung around with its mate.

The eggs normally hatch out in 2428 days, the young birds inside starting to crack the shells 18-36 hours before emerging. Phil says he can’t remember when he first saw the eggs but figures they should be close to hatching as I’m writing this, a week after I took the photos. Once the young birds hatch, the parents take away the shell fragments, and often use the site again for another brood.

I’ve only seen young killdeer when they were following their parents around, but new hatchlings are supposed to be really cute little fluff balls, according to sources I checked.

They are also precocial — well developed when they hatch. Basically, they’re born with their running shoes on, are ready to follow their parents and forage for themselves as soon as their feathers dry, within hours of hatching out.

Although the hatchlings are well developed, they can’t fly for about five weeks, so depend on their parents for protection. The parents move the brood to another location, within 120 feet, on the first day, according to Stokes Nature Guides’ “A Guide to Bird Behavior” (Volume 3). The family sometimes moves out of the immediate area of the nest before the birds fledge, but the parents may still guard the nest’s location if they plan to use it again that year.

While killdeer parents’ strategy to encourage their young to follow them soon after hatching works well when

The killdeer parents rejoin. The one on the right was sitting on the nest. the nest is on the ground, it can be hazardous in another place killdeers often nest — flat gravel rooftops, according to All About Birds. In this case, the young can be injured or killed in trying to follow their parents. Other downsides to adapting to humans for the killdeer include ingesting pesticides we are prone to using, and getting hit by cars or killed by domestic cats.

Until the young can fly, the Stokes guide says, the parents still watch over them, sometimes while having a second brood, with one parent brooding the eggs while the other guards the fledglings. Family groups often stay together to migrate, joining other

killdeer families.

While killdeer can fly, like most shorebirds they spend most of their lives on the ground, foraging for food and nesting there. But also true to their shore roots, the adults swim well in swift-moving water, with even the young being able to navigate small streams, according to All About Birds. © 2016 Pam Owen Pam Owen is a writer, editor, photographer, and passionate nature conservationist living in Rappahannock County, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

Forge Studios looking for cast members Staff Report The Forge Studios is an independent film company located in Rappahannock County. Manned by an intrepid group of writers, designers, directors and producers, they are perhaps best known for their production, “The Rangers - A Shadow Rising.”

They are currently involved in a new venture . The Forge team has been hired as the producers of Daily Bread, a post apocalyptic drama series by Renaissance Women Productions and series showrunner Nina May. “Primary production begins in July. We have already had several preliminary shoots and are excited to be moving ahead with this huge project,” said designer and director Skip Lipman.

Visit www.DailyBreadSeries. com for more information and to learn how you can get involved.

There is an immediate need to cast several parts including: Dr. Ted He Is the doctor who was just returning from a ski trip with his wife and two young daughters, Tina and Emma, when it all went

dark. They symbolize people who have everything in a civilized world and in the blink of an eye, they are no different than anyone else. He though, being a doctor, brings value to the camp, so his family is allowed to come back. But, he gets back into his workaholic habits after Link and Nicole build him a microscope.

loves Tiffany’s show and has read her book three times. He becomes her sidekick and a bit of a comic relief because he loves cooking so much he is sort of clueless about things around him. He always rises to the occasion when it comes to food, sort of like yeast in bread. He is like Tiffany’s mini-me.

Caleb Caleb Is about 10 and a quiet boy who has been traumatized by his mom’s murder and their house burning down. They have lived in the woods for two weeks, just surviving until Nora and the others find them. He immediately sees Nora as their savior and a type of mom replacement. He likes that she is strong and powerful and knows that nothing could ever hurt her, so she is a safe place to put his emotions. When she rebuffs him he acts out. There is poignancy to their relationship because he is one of the only ones who can get to Nora.

Bob Bob is half of a young couple who were friends with Danny and go to the same church. He is an expert in botany and can help with the greenhouse. He is very helpful, nice and happy to do what needs to be done. He is a background character.

Tommy Tommy is in his 20s, thin, nebbish, nerdy looking with an MBA from Harvard who is quickly told he has no value in a post apocalyptic world with those credentials. He

Dori and Harold Met at the farm 20 years ago when he was taking care of the animals and the grounds, and she

was the maid and would occasionally cook for the girls and grandmother. After five years of working together, they got married and had three children who were practically raised at the farm. They are a kind family that makes their way back to the farm after about a month, in an old pickup truck with non-electronic parts. They are in their late 30s but look older because of their hard work.

New fund to benefit Friends of the Culpeper County Library Contributed Report

This is a real page turner and the beginning of a story with a happy ending. The Friends of the Culpeper County Library recently established an organization endowment fund through the Northern Piedmont Community Foundation.

This relationship will help them in many ways. Primarily it will allow the Culpeper nonprofit to pool its resources with those of the Com4 munity Foundation. By building a more diversified portfolio, the organization has greater potential for PHOTO COURTESY OF JANE BOWLING-WILSON reducing its overall investment risk The Friends of the Culpeper County Library, the Culpeper County Library and Northern Piedmont and increasing its gains.

VIEWS Observations on Orlando Published every Thursday by Rappahannock Media LLC.

PARDOE’S PERSPECTIVE

I was going to write about my vacation to Orlando with my grandson. We were at Disney at the time of this terrorist attack, blissfully sheltered from the grim reality only a few miles away.

The Orlando massacre wasn't an "assault weapon incident" or "gun violence." It was a terrorist attack on innocent people.

Moreover it was an attack on members of the gay, lesbian, and transgender community. The reason they were targeted was evil and simple - their lifestyle was incompatible with the religious beliefs of their assailant.

Combined with the belief by the terrorist that the United States is waging a war on Islam, it fueled a rage that resulted in unwarranted death and misery.

Terrorist attacks like this have another underlying objective; that is to get us to change as a result of their assault. If they can force the government into any action, it is a demonstration of power and influence - even if those actions are against them in the short term. They want to force us to take action.

Our country was founded on key principles and beliefs. These attacks test just how much we cherish our principles. They challenge us whether we are willing to hold to those beliefs or if we are going to let the terrorists force us to compromise our values.

At risk is the freedom to pursue happiness, the freedom of religion, and the freedom to protect ourselves.

This attack on the LGBT community was unwarranted and clashes with the right of people to pursue happiness. This attack on them because of their execution of that fundamental right is an attack on all Americans. The victims were simply living their lives as they wanted, which is something that is part of the fabric of our nation. That they were targeted because they were exercising that freedom should be appalling to us all.

The two presidential candidates came at this from very different angles. President Obama and Hillary Clinton saw this as yet another justification to limit the rights to possess firearms of a certain classification. Donald Trump stated that until we could properly vet and adequately track individuals coming in from Muslim nations; we should

Commonly referred to as an “assault rifle,” the AR in AR-15 actually stands for ArmaLite Rifle, the company which designed and developed the first AR. For many gun advocates, the AR-15 has become an emblem of patriotism and a symbol of liberty. It has also been the weapon of choice in a number of mass shootings in recent years making it a target of controversy. stop them entering the United States.

Mr. Trump's plan is not contrary to the rights of US citizens to practice their religion. He's simply stating that until we can manage this situation, we are not going to allow foreign visitors from at-risk countries to come here.

The US has had quotas established for decades for immigration from countries and many times in the past has banned immigrants coming in from various nations. This is not violating anyone's religious freedoms who are citizens - no one is being impaired in the US from practicing their faith. It is not racist. It merely is a course of action needed so that the US can fix/repair our system of monitoring people that might be a threat to our citizens. Isn't that one of the key roles of the president?

Going after "assault weapons" works if you can come up with a way to round up all of those weapons so that we can be sure that no one with evil intentions has them.

Otherwise what you are doing is saying because there have been mass shootings that no one can have these weapons, even to protect themselves.

This plays well into the terrorist’s hands in that they are influencing US policy; in this case against its own citizens. While I don't own an assault weapon, I deeply resent you saying I cannot have one to protect my family, should I so choose…especially when you have no plan for dealing with the thousands of these weapons already out there in the hands, in a minority of cases, of criminals. And make no mistake, any attempt to confiscate these weapons will force

confrontations and the loss of life dozens of Ruby Ridge standoffs.

I'm not saying that we don't need stringent background checks and need to fix the outdated registration system for gun ownership. We need to make sure individuals with certain mental health issues don't have access to firearms - period, same with those that are under investigation for possible terrorist activities. Those are prudent short term moves that don't prohibit the American people from protecting themselves.

Neither of the candidate's approaches would have prevented the attack in Orlando - such is the nature of political solutions. Even if there had been a ban on assault weapons, we all know that this assailant would have found another means to kill these innocent people. Make no mistake, this kind of attack will happen again too. Evil always will find a way to go after the weak and innocent. It is the nature of evil.

The massacre in Orlando has done one positive thing. It has made us all look past people's sexual orientation to see the casualties for what they are - tragic victims of a senseless crime.

We came to embrace them as sons and daughters rather than members of some labeled group. This horrific incident has also taught us that we need to be careful in our next course of action and who we look to as our next president.

Come As You Are (CAYA) hosts 5K Run/Walk

➤ Nonprofit raises funds to combat substance abuse

Drug addiction is now the third leading cause of death in the U.S. Locally the 2015 Fauquier County PRIDE Survey disclosed that Fauquier seniors are above the national average in their use of illicit drugs. The CAYA Coalition, aka Come as You Are, is sponsoring a 5K Walk/Run this September to heighten awareness for this rising drug abuse problem in our counties. Funds raised will enable local prevention programs as well as connect families to available support and resources.

The event will take place on Saturday, Sept. 24, 2016 at Verdun Adventure Bound on Rte. 229 in Rixeyville, starting at 9 a.m. Advance registration, prior to Sept. 15, is $25 and can be done online at www.cayacoalition.org or via check mailed to CAYA, 17276 Pepperstock Lane, Jeffersonton, VA 22724. Registration day of race is $30 and begins at 7:30 a.m. T-shirts and goodie bags are guaranteed only to those who register in advance. Awards will be given to the overall male and female runners as well as to the top two runners in each age category.

CAYA was formed this spring by Moira Satre who lost her son, Bobby, to a heroin overdose at age 31 in April 2015.

“I wanted something positive to come out of Bobby’s death, so I decided to take my grief and turn it into something that could perhaps prevent future deaths through substance abuse,” says Satre. By working with school officials, law enforcement and community leaders,

Super 7 air conditioning checklist Hours spent in a hot, stifling vehicle can spoil a weekend getaway or vacation. Conducting a periodic underhood inspection may help you spot air conditioning problems before they spoil your trip.

Here’s what to look for: Note: Always be extremely careful any time you’re under the hood while the engine is running. Stay away from all rotating components with your hands, clothing, and hair, and always wear eye protection around a running engine.

1. Are A/C component mounting bolts in place and tightly secured?

2. Are caps installed on the A/C system xxxservice ports?

This keeps out dirt, and also provides a seal for refrigerant.

Courtesy of ASE 3. With the engine running, does the compressor clutch engage when the A/C is switched on? If it doesn’t, this usually indicates a low (or empty) refrigerant condition, or an electrical problem. Also, listen for rapid clicking or cycling noises at the compressor when the A/C is switched on.

Culpeper: 540-727-8034 Orange: 540-661-1300 4. With the engine running and the A/C switched off, Truck Services: 540-829-4999 listen for knocking or rumbling sounds in the vicinity of the compressor.

5. Check all belts for cracks, wear, and glazing. Have them replaced at the first sign of any of these conditions.

Also, check for belts that vibrate while the engine is running and the A/C is on.

6. Examine all A/C and cooling system hoses for cuts, abrasion, weak spots, and signs of leakage. Leakage from A/C system hoses is often indicated by an accumulation of dirt and oil, particularly at connections and fittings.

7. Make sure the condenser (in front of the radiator) is free of any obstructions, such as leaves or insects.

Fun facts about chocolate We try to write the sweeter side of things to mostly educate.

Meg Oremiatzki-Ast This month we will do so while taking a much lighter approach by sharing with you the many fun facts about chocolate from the tree planting to the treat itself.

The cocoa tree must be planted next to a larger tree as it does not like direct light. It can take up to five years to grow a mature tree which then produces about 1,000 cocoa beans. Even though the number seems high the result is only about 2.5 kilos of chocolate. It actually takes 400 cocoa beans to produce a pound of chocolate so the next time you buy a chocolate remember the time it takes to grow the prized cocoa.

What makes one chocolate more expensive than the other? Well, like wine, there are different varieties of chocolate the same way there are different varieties of grapes.

The most expensive and rarest of all is the Criollo. Known for its very high quality, it is aromatic and lacks bitterness, it is used by the luxury chocolate houses although they tend to blend with other beans.

The Trinitario came into existence via the cross fertilization with the native Criollo beans. These are found in the Caribbean as well as Venezuela and Colombia and represent about 12 percent of the world cocoa production.

The. Forastero or stranger in Spanish is the everyday cocoa with strong, earthy flavors.

Found in Ghana, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, New Guinea, Brazil, Central America, Sri Lanka, Malaysia and Indonesia. Represents about 85 percent of the world's cocoa production.

While the making of chocolate has been mechanized, the cocoa harvesting is still done by hand.

Planting, irrigating, harvesting, fermenting and drying are the manual steps to produce cocoa beans.

Millions of burlap bags filled with

THE SWEET SIDE OF THINGS

beans find their way to the world’s largest chocolate producer, Barry Callebaut. This company was created in 1996 with the merging of the Belgian chocolate producer Callebaut and the French company Cacao Barry.

Their factories process about 1.8 million tons of cocoa beans each year.

They produce the raw chocolate block the chocolatiers use to create the multitude of chocolate treats we are accustomed to eating.

Cacao Barry was founded in France in 1842 by Charles Barry. In 1952, Cacao Barry became active from bean to gourmet chocolate.

Then in 1923, they undertook many Mexican RestauRant ambitious projects and one you will recognize is the “Baking Sticks” and simultaneously the chocolate croissant. The “Baking Sticks” were developed in 1963.

Callebaut was a Belgian company, founded by Eugenius Callebaut as, believe it or not, a brewery in Wieze, Belgium, in 1850.

➤ Heroin, from Page 6 His task force has faced similar problems with meth and cocaine in the past, and will likely face a new beast once heroin begins to fade, he said. But one thing makes the heroin epidemic now so brutal. “The difference now is people are dying,�

Murphy said. Not only adults are dying, but children are dying – that should have the greatest impact.�

So far this year, in the task force’s region, children as young as 15 and adults as old as 69 have died from heroin overdoses.

Federal substance abuse specialist Aaron Williams gave an overview of addiction as well as explaining some treatment options for healthcare professionals. But to further complicate treatment options, half of people with substance abuse disorders have co-occurring mental health disorders of all shapes and sizes, Williams said.

The cost isn’t just to users or their families, it’s a “public health crisis,� Williams said. Substance abuse costs Americans about $555 billion, according to data from the U.S. Department of Justice. “No one agency is going to get us out of it.

No one group is going to change the world,�

Williams said. “It’s a collective community process and you’re going to need a collective community response.�

Prescription Opioid Abuse: A First Step to Heroin Use?

Prescription opioid pain medications such as Oxycontin and Vicodin can have effects similar to heroin when taken in doses or in ways other than prescribed, and they are currently among the most commonly abused drugs in the United States. Research now suggests that abuse of these drugs may open the door to heroin abuse.

Nearly half of young people who inject heroin surveyed in three recent studies reported abusing prescription opioids before starting to use heroin. Some individuals reported taking up heroin because it is cheaper and easier to obtain than prescription opioids.

Many of these young people also report that crushing prescription opioid pills to snort or inject the powder provided their initiation into these methods of drug administration.
