Boat storage building nearly complete

By Anita L. Sherman TIMES STAFF WRITER

Storeland owner Stephen McLean is curious. His storage units off Lovers Lane aren’t that far from the Ole Country Store on Rt. 29 and a new building has him wondering what’s going on over there. So are others particularly those that frequent the popular destination for deli sandwiches and Amish baked goods.

A crisp new structure not far from Lake Pelham’s edge has appeared and its proximity to water suggests good things to come. Observers are right.

“We are wrapping up construction of the boat house and are in the design phase for the entrance road, parking area, dock, etc.,” said the town’s planning and community development director Charles Rapp noting that details for rentals and a timeline for opening are coming attractions.

Going back a few months, residents may remember that the existing boat ramp at Lake Pelham was closed due to construction related to dam modifications that the town will be completing at both

Lake Pelham and Mountain Run Lake in order to comply with state regulations.

Looking for a solution to the closing, the town partnered with Ole Country Store owner Al Esh to obtain an easement for the access and proposed improvements.

The new boat ramp at the Ole Country Store property will allow continued access to Lake Pelham by town staff and also provide a public access point.

As construction of the boat storage building continues, the town is also finalizing plans to construct a paved access road and parking area to accommodate visitors.

Designed to hold kayaks, stand up paddleboards and canoes, once completed, these watercraft will be available for rent. According to Rapp, the Ole Country store will be partnering with the town to assist with administering the rentals.

One Saturday afternoon, flocks of geese could be seen lazily paddling on Lake Pelham. They appeared curious as well about the building which will soon bring visitors to their watery world.

Future improvements may also contain a dock, kayak launch, and

Within the last few weeks, a new building has appeared near the Ole Country Store and Lake Pelham sparking interest. What’s going on? gazebo.

In addition to rentals, once the boat ramp and improvements are completed, members of the public will also be able to launch their personal boats into the water just as they previously did at the Lake Pelham boat ramp.

The town is implementing this project in phases. Rapp is optimistic that the initial phase, the boat

storage building, will be completed in July so that the town can begin offering public boat rentals.

Esh has been busy these days opening a second location in Spotsylvania County. He also has town and county approval to construct a new septic system.

Farmer program and high tunnel

RICH CROWLEY’S SNAPSHOT OF CULPEPER

President of Virginia Association of Agricultural Extension Agents Carl Stafford reported to the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors Tuesday morning his plans for implementing a $59,000 grant from the Ohstrom Foundation.

It’s a three-pronged focus with $20,000 targeted at ongoing evaluation which includes working with regional partners.

“We want to make sure our efforts are in the right direction,” said Stafford who is working with Charles Jameson on the Carver Regional High School alumni history initiative among others. $25,000 is earmarked to develop a beginning farmer program.

“We’ll be conducting soil testing, establish irrigation system, install fencing and look to purchase a used tractor,” said Stafford noting that existing curriculum for the program is in place.

The remaining $14,000 will be used to erect a high tunnel greenhouse on the property at the old Carver School.

This will be used to grow vegetables and extend the life of the growing season since crops are covered.

Water comes from underneath so crops are kept dry. Stafford is optimistic for a fall crop and that future plans could include a research greenhouse housed within a commercial setting.

COUNTY BRIEFS

Polling place change in Catalpa District The board approved authorizing a public hearing to consider relocation of the polling place for the Catalpa District Cardova Precinct to Alum Springs Baptist Church on Dutch Hollow Road. Previously it had been suggested that the site be moved to the Salem Volunteer Fire Department but based on comments that Catalpa Supervisor Sue Hansohn received along with discussions with Director of Elections James Clements, the site at Alum Springs keeps the polling location in Catalpa District and is easily accessible.

“This is a godsend,” said Clements who met with the electoral board in May, and based on numbers, it is anticipated that the national election in November will bring in large numbers and the American Legion site would have been challenged with traffic.

Wireless “Hot Spots” slated for library The board approved applying for a Path Foundation Grant which would provide 12 hot spot units at the Culpeper County Library. Enabling Internet connection, these units will be available to the general public for use in the library or to check out.

“This is all part of an initiative to improve broadband coverage around the county,” said East Fairfax supervisor Steve Walker.

Plans for Carver

“Let them all out for bid,” encouraged Cedar Mountain Supervisor C. Jack Frazier when presented with a proposal from Paul Howard who outlined existing and proposed plans for building renovations at the Carver School.

The masonry shop estimates come in at roughly $282,000 which will include improvements to the exterior.

New for the board to consider is an estimated $220,000 for the machine shop (proposed as a future vocational training center by New Pathways LLC) for heating, air conditioning and lighting. The 290 square foot area will combine a machine shop with a classroom.

Howard said that the automotive building has cracks and will eventually have to be fixed at some point.

He also suggested demolishing the boiler room as it is built on unsuitable soil at an estimated cost of $80,000.

Frazier’s suggestion met with board approval.

“After we see the bids, we’ll have a better idea of the costs,” added Frazier.

Moving forward with pretrial services

Pit bull protectors

PHOTO BY RICH CROWLEY

You can add to the list of things I did not know that pit bulls can be service dogs. I ran into George and Judith Lamb at Lowes and they had two pit bulls (both of which were rescue dogs) that are nationally certified service dogs. That certification requires a lot of training and testing. George works in the Department of Defense Office of Disabled Vets in Maryland. He is disabled himself. It was interesting to talk with them and learn about their experiences with the dogs. ➤ Check out Rich’s blog at facesofculpeperva.blogspot.com and Faces of Culpeper on Facebook

The board approved staff moving forward to apply for full funding of a pretrial program from the state’s Department of Criminal Justice Services. County administrator John Egertson said that the state has come forward with funding and applications are due Aug. 15.

Plans are to apply for full funding at $359,000.

The board, in their budget planning for FY 2017, have reserved some monies for this program in the event the state does not fund.

Depending on the outcome of the county’s application, the board will have another opportunity to yea or nea this program and weigh the costs.

The monies would fund a part-time administrator and three pretrial officers. According to Director of Culpeper County Criminal Justice Services Andrew Lawson, while the caseload has decreased, the number of inmates being shipped out to other counties remains high. It is the intent of the board that a pretrial program in Culpeper County would help alleviate the numbers incarcerated, freeing up jail space.

A museum to honor Vietnam veterans

By Anita L. Sherman TIMES STAFF WRITER

It’s little known but that is changing as more and more are learning about Craig LaMountain’s Vietnam War Museum.

On Sunday, more than 60 vehicles were lined up in Ruckersville outside his private collection of Vietnam memorabilia.Many had come because of the efforts of Lou Realmuto and his group Crusin’ for Heroes. He organized a caravan starting at Southern States in Elkwood that traveled to the museum in Greene County. While the rain stopped many of their antique cars from making the trip, many showed up eager to see and learn more about the museum.

A framed letter sets the stage for the experience.

Please accept my personal sympathy in the death of your son Sergeant Allen E. Firth.

The letter is signed by President Lyndon B. Johnson. Firth, from Albemarle County, died in action in Con Thien on Oct. 18, 1967.

He was 25. The letter is dated Oct. 31 of that year.

LaMountain’s museum is filled with personal stories. For those who served in Vietnam, it offers a chance to revisit their assignment to a place that, for others, is too disturbing.

But, for all veterans, particularly those who served in that unpopular war, it’s a reminder that they sacrificed for their country and their service is to be commended.

LaMountain started his collection nearly 10 years ago as a way to pay tribute to his older brother Vetal

LaMountain, a Navy pilot that took off from the Philippines in December of 1971 with about a dozen on board. They never reached Saigon.

Over the years, LaMountain has found willing Vietnam vets who volunteer their time at the museum bringing each section alive with their personal accounts.

The walls are vividly painted with murals. Each section is designed to make you feel that you are there beside the beds, in the communication room, walking near a buried bomb, or sitting in a jeep. LaMountain wants to bring that Vietnam experience home for the veterans who lived it and for a population, particularly of young people, that need to know more about this period in our history.

The Vietnam War Museum is open three times a year on Memorial Day, July 4 weekend, and Veterans Day. It is also open by appointment. Located at 6265 Spring Hill Road in Ruckersville you can reach Craig LaMountain at 434981-4940 or clamount@embarqmail.com. Visit www. vietnamwarfoundation.org

BEHIND THE BADGE Humor, lots of heart and helping others hallmarks of this young officer Many go into law enforcement because their family has a history with the profession, or with the military.

Not McNabb. His was a more nuanced and thought out decision.

Originally the athletic McNabb, who looks the part of the outfielder that he was in high school, had decided to major in Special Education.

In the eighth grade the school asked for volunteers to help with special education students. He responded and found a cause for the remainder of his high school years. Every year he worked with special education children.

Because of the experience he hoped to become a Special Education teacher and went to university with that plan in place. But, always looking for adventure, the high school senior wanted something different than a Virginia college. He wanted to switch up experiences, so he went to the University of Missouri. Over a year in the program and McNabb found his first choice of study was not so appealing—too much predictability, too much paperwork, too

Austin McNabb

Age: 26 Marital Status: Engaged Education: Sociology, B.S., University of Missouri Hobbies: Baseball, sports, two dogs, biking, camping, reading structured.

In the meantime law enforcement became much more interesting for the sophomore.

With the same deliberation that characterizes other decisions in his life, McNabb researched and decided to switch to Sociology, because it would prepare him well for a career in law enforcement.

And it has.

“The number one tool in law enforcement is communication,” McNabb said. Sociology taught the Falls Church native how to relate to people of other cultural backgrounds.

“If people feel that you understand them, they are more willing to

ON YOUR LOT

work with you,” he said.

Now he works night shift. “I wouldn’t have it any other way,” he said. “You never know what is going to happen.” And that for McNabb satisfies the need for unpredictability in his job.

But he says that working for the police also gives him the same satisfaction he had volunteering in high school to help fellow students who were disadvantaged: “You are helping people. It’s a cliché but it’s true that the best reward in law enforcement is helping others.”

McNabb goes out of his way to emphasize two points about the Culpeper Town Police. “It’s just like a family” and secondly, “The overall narrative in the media (meaning a negative relationship between the town police and citizens) just doesn’t exist. Citizens and the police work well together here in my experience.”

He takes with him as a guiding principle a quote from his freshman basketball coach in Falls Church: “They don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”

PHOTO COURTESY OF AUSTIN MCNABB

Officer Austin McNabb in the driver’s seat jokes around with his navigator Chris Garcia.

“That has always stuck with me,” McNabb said.

Town Police Chief Chris Jenkins says that attitude of caring is something that stands out in McNabb.

“The citizens who interact with Officer McNabb soon understand that he is there to help where he can.”

“Our job is to protect the public,” Jenkins said. “Officer McNabb understands that mission. But, like all good officers, he also understands that to be most effective we must work with the citizens -- and not against them.”

Lions Clubs provide assistance with eyeglasses and hearing aids Lions Clubs officials want to clarify any confusion that exists regarding the process for Culpeper residents to receive assistance from local Lions Clubs to pay for eyeglasses and/or hearing aids.

For children during the school year, the child in need of assistance accompanied by parent/guardian should contact the school nurse. After this discussion, the nurse will contact the Lion’s Club and a letter will be sent to the child’s parent/guardian to arrange an appointment with one of the participating doctors to furnish the glasses.

Adults in need of assistance for sight or hearing assistance should contact the Human Services Office.

The point of contact is Mrs. Darlene Neff. Her office, referred to as “Sam’s Place” is located at 210 E. Stevens St., Suite 300. Phone number is 540-7271055. Results of interview will be sent to Lions Club. Once approved, the patient along with the doctor will be notified of action taken. When school isn’t in session, children will follow this same procedure. Upon receipt of the approval letter, the applicant is required to contact the selected doctor for an appointment.

The Lions Clubs have agreements with four participating doctors and one business firm to provide services at a predetermined price. There will be no additional charges to the patient.

Culpeper has three Lions Clubs who split the cost equally. Mid-Day is the largest and takes the lead but Club 92 and Dawn are full participants.

He or she is likely in a nearby establishment. Talk to the proprietors of nearby stores and ask them to make an announcement to customers.

Then, call the nonemergency number of your local police department or animal control. Stay on site until help arrives.

While most pet owners have the best intentions, many are unaware of the danger of leaving a pet in a hot car. You can help spread the word. Free online resources, available at HumaneSociety.org, offer tips, advice and important information on keeping pets safe.

Avoid heat strokes in dogs Beating the heat is extra tough for dogs because they can only cool themselves by panting and by sweating through their paw pads.

Watch for heatstroke symptoms such as restlessness, excessive thirst, thick saliva, heavy panting, lethargy, lack of appetite, dark tongue, rapid heartbeat, fever, vomiting, bloody diarrhea, and lack of coordination. If a dog shows any of these symptoms, get him or her out of the heat, preferably into an airconditioned vehicle, and then to a veterinarian immediately.

Provide water to drink, and if possible spray the dog with a garden hose or immerse him or her in a tub of cool (but not iced) water for up to two minutes in order to lower the body temperature gradually.

You can also place the dog in front of an electric fan. Applying cool, wet towels to the groin area, stomach, chest, and paws can also help. Be careful not to use ice or cold water, and don’t overcool the animal.

When walking your dog, keep in mind that if it feels hot enough to fry an egg outside, it probably is.

When the air temperature is 86 degrees, the asphalt can reach a sizzling 135 degrees — more than hot enough to cook your canine companions’ sensitive foot pads.

Hot sidewalks, pavement and parking lots can not only burn paws, they also reflect heat onto dogs’ bodies , increasing their risk of deadly heat stroke.

Walk early in the morning or late at night when it’s cooler, carry water and take frequent breaks in shady spots and never make dogs wear muzzles that restrict their breathing.

Join Rappahannock’s butterfly count July 23

By Jim Smith

TIMES CONTRIBUTOR

It’s time to register for the sixth annual Little Washington-Rappahannock County butterfly count, hosted by the Old Rag Chapter of the Virginia Master Naturalists (ORMN). The gathering starts at 9 a.m. Saturday, July 23, at the Rappahannock County Park on U.S. 211 across from Washington, and proceeds from there.

Undecided? Consider last year’s

reviews: “fun!”; “gave me a fascinating new hobby”; “nice group of people”; “learned a lot”; “saw some great landscapes.”

Worried that you don’t know enough (or anything) about butterflies? Don’t be. There’s a highly recommended (but optional) butterfly identification training session at 1 p.m. Sunday, July 17 at the Washington fire hall, conducted by Shenandoah National Park Ranger Maura

Afterwards you will be able to discriminate easily among a Red Admiral and an American Lady and, well, a hole in the ground. Slow learner?

Again, no problem. Each group on the count will be led by an expert in butterfly identification.

Count participants will go to private properties not generally open to the public. These locations cover a 15-mile diameter circle from Long Mountain Road and include 18 sites that encompass farmland, residential property, organically enhanced agricultural lands and wooded areas. No special equipment is needed, but sturdy footwear is a must. Bring sun and insect protection and water, and (if you have them) binoculars and perhaps a camera. Some sites are hilly, some are not.

Apart from the butterfly count, and new this year is a children’s event (ages 6 and older) on from 10 to 11:30 a.m. Saturday, July 16 at Waterpenny Farm in Sperryville. Led by local Old Rag Master Naturalists Victoria Fortuna and Jane Smith, this “Kid’s Count” will include fun learning activities, a citizen scientist w! Garden e N butterfly identification walk, as well Year Round with as light snacks and (drum roll) sticka Greenhouse! ers and prizes!

Participation in the Kid’s Count and identification training session is free. For the main butterfly count

July 23 the fee is a measly $5. Register for each event in advance with Jane at jssperryville@gmail.com and pay the count fee on count day.

Still undecided? Consider that in 2013 the county of Rappahannock set a national record for eastern tiger swallowtails (2,375 individuals) and silvery checkerspots!

Local butterfly expert Robin Williams thinks we might break our own national record this year. “We still have a fair amount of healthy and somewhat wild habitat in the area, including some necessary native tree and shrub hosts,” Robin explained. “Of course increased use of pesticides, non-native plants and mono-cultures will diminish our results in the future.”

Now admit it. You’ve always fantasized about playing on a national championship team. Well, this might be your last, best chance!

In addition to presenting fun opportunities, the Little WashingtonRappahannock County butterfly count has an important scientific purpose. For the past 40 years, volunteers — so-called citizen scientists — throughout the country have counted butterflies and contributed to a national database, now maintained by the North American Butterfly Association (NABA). Results from the citizen scientists are pored over by scientific researchers and professional lepidopterists.

The data collected in these counts are not only essential for assessing the health of individual butterfly species like the monarch, but also indicate the health of ecosystems in which they (and we) live. Regrettably, habitat destruction, introduction of non-native species, some pesticide use and climate change are contributing to a worldwide decline of butterfly populations.

This decline is critical because life as we know it depends on pollinators like butterflies, along with moths, bees, birds, insects and bats. Ninety percent of the earth’s flowering plants require the services of pollinators. They are essential to maintaining our food supply and to protecting the environment as a whole.

A great way you can help butterflies is to put native plants in your

yard. Many butterflies are specialists in that the caterpillars in the larval stage can eat only one kind of plant.

If that one kind of plant — usually a native plant — isn’t there, neither is the butterfly. It’s also important to include nectar sources for the adult butterflies. Both the training session on July 17 and the count on July 23 will have information available on what different species need.

The NABA website, naba.org, is an excellent source for information on butterfly gardening and butterflies in general.

Heroin is a horrible monster to face

FROM WHERE I SIT

When Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring visited Culpeper early last year addressing a group of law enforcement officials, town and county officials and local residents, the phrase “heroin epidemic” was coined and is now used often.

Last week, at a community town hall meeting, the subject was talked about again by members of the Culpeper County Sheriff’s Office, the Culpeper Town Police Department and the Blue Ridge Narcotics and Gang Task Force as well as commonwealth’s attorney Paul Walther, Special Agent in Charge at the U.S. Drug Enforcement AdministrationWashington Division Karl Colder and Assistant U.S. Attorney Ron Huber from the Western District of Virginia.

Chief Chris Jenkins told the crowd that gathered in the auditorium at Eastern View High School that it didn’t matter to him whether you referred to it as a “heroin epidemic.” Bottom line, any words that describe something horrendous, bad and horrible will do in his book. It’s a challenge that continues to grow challenging law enforcement at the local, state and national level.

Colder vividly talked about the “heroin highway” which stretches along Interstates 70 and 81 from Washington to Winchester. Highest concentrations of heroin/drug dealing are centered in Baltimore, Washington DC and Richmond. Culpeper as well

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Lions Clubs could use more members As everyone knows, the primary mission of Lions Clubs on a national and international basis, is to assist less fortunate citizens in obtaining financial assistance in the procurement of eyeglasses and hearing aids. The town and county of Culpeper is blessed by having three individual Lions Clubs dedicated to addressing these needs.

While the sight and hearing needs are addressed by a fair share division of the cost associated with sight and hearing by these Lions Clubs, the committed members of Mid-Day Lions and the dedicated citizens supporting the Sunday Night Bingo,allows Mid-Day to make significant financial contributions to the needs of our citizens over and above that of sight and hearing.

Listed is a partial listing of those

as surrounding counties like Fauquier, Prince William and Spotsylvania are not immune from the trafficking of illicit drugs. They may not start here but they end up here in alarming numbers.

In 2015, more than 800 deaths in Virginia were attributed to heroin related drug overdoses.

Cheap and easy to acquire, heroin is the go to drug to get a quick high.

Sadly, a little goes a long way in causing horrible consequences that can lead to death. Now prescription drugs like Oxycontin,Vicodin and Demerol have dramatically increased in recent years and research now suggests that abuse of these medications may actually open the door to heroin use.

Nearly half of young people who inject heroin surveyed in three recent studies reported abusing prescription opioids before starting to use heroin.

The long term effects of heroin use changes the physical structure and physiology of the brain creating long-term imbalances in neuronal and hormonal systems that are not easily reversed.

The risk of overdose and death increases when heroin is adulterated with fentanyl, acetyl fentanyl or another fentanyl analogue.

Just what is fentanyl?

It’s classified as a Schedule II narcotic used as an analgesic and anesthetic and is typically prescribed to treat severe or chronic pain. For example, patients suffering from cancer.

Much more potent than heroin, ingestion of very small doses can be fatal.

It can also be absorbed through the skin and accidental inhalation of airborne powder may also occur.

It’s very bad stuff and depending on the dealer, it can be cut with heroin, causing deadly outcomes.

According to the Drug Enforcement Agency, the United States has seen an increase in clandestinely manufactured fentanyl that is mixed with heroin or being sold as a heroin substitute.

Additionally, while less common, fentanyl can also be diverted via pharmacy theft, fraudulent prescriptions, and illicit distribution by patients and registrants (physicians and pharmacists).

Tom Murphy from the Virginia State Blue Ridge Narcotics and Gang Task Force told of thefts at nursing homes and other long-term care facilities where Fentanyl can be found.

The statistics go on and on.

But, where does that leave the parents with growing numbers of middle schoolers now joining the ranks of those tempted by the instant gratification of a fix from a friend or even family member.

They may start their exploration in your medicine cabinet.

Colder recommended that parents count pills if they have bottles of strong pain relievers.

Colder wants education programs in the school systems starting early and teaching early about the dangers of drug use.

The numbers are scary. The consequences can be grim. In the weeks ahead, I plan to write more on the subject, include more statistics and perhaps educate a community where we all need to attack the problem together.

It’s a lucrative business that doesn’t appear to be going away any time soon.

It’s supply and demand and the demand continues.

contributions made from the profit realized from the Mid-Day Lions hosted bingo operation: l Sight and hearing split three ways - $20,733 l Children’s Christmas - $6,277 l Youth Activities - $5,266 l Soap Box Derby - $1,800 l Scholarships - $11,000 l Community Needs - $28,229 A partial breakdown of the community needs contributions includes: l Hospice - $2,000 l Food Closet - $1,000 l SAFE house - $3,000 l Habitat for Humanity - $3,000 l Salvation Army - $1,000 plus 32 hours of bell ringing support l Senior Center - $1,000 l Relay for Life - $1,000 l Fourth of July celebration $1,000 l Culpeper Fire Department $2,000 l Suicide Prevention - $1,000

l Culpeper Police Department various needs - $8,000 While on the surface the total contributions made in support of our citizens of $73,,305 is impressive, it is only a drop in the bucket in addressing the needs of our community.

The three Lions Clubs desperately need new members. The Lions Clubs along with each charitable organization in our area is in need of new blood, folks with young legs and open minds to expand our charitable projects.

Our efforts along with the money raising initiatives of all of the charitable organizations in the Culpeper area make a dent in the needs of our citizens but so much more could be done if our volunteer workforce could be expanded to address those needs..

AUTOMOTIVE SHOWCASE

Visit these local businesses for all your automotive needs!

How to check your tires In order to check tire pressure you’ll need a tire pressure gauge. Gauges can be purchased at auto parts stores and service stations. The cost is sometimes as little as $1.00, but could be $3.00-$7.00. They’re usually about the size of a large pen, but they can come in other forms. Sometimes a gauge is included with the air hose of the air dispensing stand at the gas station.

Look in the driver side door jamb for a sticker that indicates the vehicle manufacturer’s tire specifications.

There will also be specifications on the tire itself which are the tire manufacturer’s specifications. xxx However, the numbers for the specified tire pressure may be different between the two different specifications. The tire manu- Courtesy of ASE facturer’s specification indicates the maximum amount of pressure that the tire can safely hold. The vehicle manufacturer’s specifications indicate the recommended pressure for that specific vehicle. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s specification on the sticker in the driver’s side door jamb.

It’s a tradition that signifies warm weather is just around the corner and often inspires spring wine dinners and festivals. If you’re just tuning into Rosé, don’t let the pink color influence your opinion.

No question, it looks a lot like white zinfandel, pink and sweet, but that’s the only comparison. Rosé is typically produced as a dry wine and the pink color is a result of minimal contact between the juice and the grape skins during the crush phase of the

and larger production. Matelica is smaller, further inland and at a higher elevation with a more challenging climate, creating lower yielding vines but producing more complex flavors.

Now for the best part, how it tastes.

Verdicchio is medium bodied and totally dry, with a somewhat floral bouquet.

It has fresh citrus flavors, think lots of lemon, a hint of almond and always high in acidity. It pairs beautifully with fresh fish and is particularly good

The star white wine produced in the Le Marche region is Verdicchio (ver DEEK kee oh), made from the verdicchio grape.

It is allowable to blend up to 15 percent trebbiano or malvasia, but most are 100 percent verdicchio.

While the neighbors to the west, Tuscany and Umbria, make plenty of reds, and Le Marche does produce Rosso Conero and Rosso Piceno, the area is best known for this white wine.
