24/7@culpepertimes.com Taking care of your vision starts ear The most widely distributed newspaper in Culpeper.

Contributed Article At Eye Care of Virginia, our optometrist in Culpeper takes the time to get to know each patient and their unique vision and eye care needs. By understanding your eye care history, personal medical history, and family vision history, we are able to better tailor our services to meet your specific vision needs. This includes anticipating potential eye care and vision problems before they develop. For example, if one or more of your parents or grandparents has been diagnosed with glaucoma, you are at increased risk for potentially developing this condition.

GOING FOR GROCERIES

African Americans over the age of 40 and Hispanics over the age of 60 are also at increased risk. If you fall into a high-risk group, our op-

tometrist may recommend regular testing for glaucoma, which can be done through an eye pressure exam. Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in the United States and while it cannot be prevented if it is diagnosed and treated early, it can be successfully controlled.

Dr. Miles W. Press has been serving the greater Culpeper and King George communities for some time now. He has practiced for over four decades as an Optometrist. Licensed by the state of Virginia to practice optometry, Dr. Press’s background includes anatomy, biochemistry, and physiology, uniquely qualifying him to diagnose a wide range of eye health issues, including the diagnosis of glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetes, and hypertension.

Dr. Press was the developer of the first tinted, soft contact lens called Custom Eyes in 1980. He licensed the technology to Bausch and Lomb and set up their facilities in Rochester and Waterford, Ireland.

His company was sold in 1986 to Revlon which is now owned by Novartis.

Western Outer Loop named Ira Hoffman Lane The Culpeper County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Tuesday to name the Western Outer Loop bypass Ira Hoffman Lane.

The road, which is currently under construction, will extend from the current Ira Hoffman Lane at the intersection of Route 229 down to the connection at Route 522.

There has been some confusion lately about the completion of the project, as the portion along Route 522 has seen premature traffic.

According to Culpeper County administrator John Egertson the road has been used by local residents to reach their homes along Saint Jameson Road, but that it’s not fully completed as some have believed.

“So those folks can use it but it doesn’t go all the way through yet, so you’ve got some portion of the road that’s open,” Egertson said.

A portion of the road that will connect Route 729 and the new bypass has also been completed. That will form a T at the junction of Ira Hoffman Lane and 729.

“They opened that end as well,” Egertson said. “Now all they have to do is complete the middle.”

According to Mark Nesbitt, VDOT's Warrenton Residency Engineer, the next phase of construction that is expected to be completed is a turning lane from 522 at the intersection of Route 784.

Egertson said the project is “way ahead of schedule.” Completion was originally set for completion in August 2017 but could be done by the end of the year.

Nesbitt said that the construction contract is through November 2017 but that contractor would like to "stay ahead of schedule."

"They could finish early," Nesbitt said. "But we have no formal commitment to that. Early spring is a good possibility."

The project, which has been funded by the county and the Virginia Department of Transportation’s revenue sharing program, is priced at $11.4 million for construction cost.

According Nesbitt, another $2.2 million was spent in right away costs and $3.4 million for engineering for a total of $17 million for the project.

“We saved up through the revenue sharing program for years and years,” Egertson said.

The road has been part of the county’s comprehensive plan for years, as a plan to alleviate traffic into the town.

Egertson said the first leg was when Ira Hoffman Lane extended to 229 and McDevitt Drive when it was extended down to Route 3.

“This will all be one continuous loop, the next most important loop was to get from 729 down to 522,” Egertson said. “It was really conceived before the town’s inner loop was built.”

COUNTY NEWS

Fire sets back RRCS Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services is looking for a temporary home for its clinic.

A fire damaged two floors of the clinic at 650 Laurel Street in Culpeper and according to executive director Brian Duncan the facility is “unusable” and out of commission for up to 6 to 8 months.

Speaking to the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors Tuesday morning during a presentation about the RRCS’s Fiscal Year 2017 budget, Duncan addressed the latest setback the organization faces.

“We’re offering services in temporary locations,” Duncan said.

The fire was not related to ongoing renovations to the building built by the agency in the 1970s, according to Duncan.

Some services are being offered out of the Bradford Road office while new patients are being directed to their Warrenton location.

A temporary home has been secured at 219 East Davis Street and will be ready in about three weeks, Duncan said. Once the clinic is re-established in Culpeper clients can walk in from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. Tuesday through Friday to talk to counselors about mental health or substance abuse issues.

“You can come in and you will be seen,” Duncan said.

Duncan advised that walk-in patients will need a proof of income and insurance information.

RRCS FY 17 budget discussed

PRETTY PERCH PLACE When Andrea and I go shopping in downtown Culpeper there are certain stores we always frequent. Although I am no shopper, I know where certain things are sold and so when I wanted to get her an Alex and Ani bracelet I headed to the Green Roost. I received excellent assistance from the owner, Kelsey Carlson Settle. Do I need to say that the bracelet was a hit? Kelsey has an interesting shop right on East Davis which she has owned for seven and a half years. Many of the items are made from recycled materials so your purchase is an energy saver to boot. I believe that it is one of our "destination" stores. ➤ Check out Rich’s blog at facesofculpeperva.blogspot.com and Faces of Culpeper on Facebook

Duncan also discussed the FY17 budget for the RRCS, which decreased year over year for the first time he can remember. The FY16 budget was $25,717,756 while the FY17 budget comes in at $25,160,008.

Some of the projects planned for this year include starting the Bridges Rehab Center and completing the Culpeper Senior Center renovations. The Senior Center renovations should be finished within 30-45 days, Duncan said.

He said the RRCS is also expecting to complete the Culpeper Behavioral Health Clinic renovations and the partnership with Genoa Pharmacy.

RRCS is also working to implement a Crisis Intervention Team Assessment Site with Novant UVA Culpeper Medical Center, utilizing state funds.

Duncan said that last year 2,189 citizens received a service from RRCS, about 14 percent of Culpeper County’s population.

BOS Cedar Mountain representative Jack Frazier asked if the RRCS would look into a drug step down program. “I think that really needs to be looked at,” Frazier said.

Duncan agreed but said that there were a couple of barriers in the way.

“1. Funding,” Duncan said. “No. 2 is the lack of providers.”

Martin’s captures top spot as grocery store leader

By Anita L. Sherman

Culpeper Times • August 4-10, 2016

It’s time to head to the grocery store for dinner ingredients or weekend picnic fixings. Perhaps you shop daily or weekly compiling meticulous lists along with any clipped coupons. Or you may be impulsive and just head to the store grabbing whatever pleases you. For some, it’s a chore, for others an adventure in choosing culinary treats. One thing is for sure. Where you shop, how often and what you spend is big business.

Whether you prefer Food Lion over Safeway or don’t mind bagging your own items at Aldi or like the convenience of shopping at Walmart or Target so you can pick up clothes and a leaf blower as well as cauliflower and lettuce are all shopping patterns that are analyzed.

Adding to the complexity of choices, convenience stores like 7-11 and dollar stores carry several shelves of canned and boxed products.

Stores normally considered pharmacies like CVS, Walgreens and Rite-Aid carry food items as well.

As consumers we have our reasons for choosing one store over the other. It may be price, customer service, location or products carried. The end result is a winner in the food chain which spells investor profits.

This past spring when the Culpeper Times sponsored their Best of the Best survey, voters chose Martin’s as the best grocery store and best place for produce.

Culpeper shoppers welcomed Martin’s when it opened in 2009.

Responding to the news of their win, manager of public and community relations at Martin’s Samantha Krepps spoke of their commitment to being a better place to shop.

“We provide our customers with great quality and fresh produce offering the products they want and making it easy to shop with 131 friendly and helpful associates at our Culpeper store,” said Krepps noting that Martin’s places emphasis on fresh offerings to help customers not only eat well, but save money and time too.

“Our market fresh produce department features fresh, organic and locally-grown fruits and vegetables and we continue to expand our assortment of organic offerings. As part of our commitment to offering customers solutions to their shopping needs, we recently transformed the Culpeper produce department to deliver more local, fresh offerings, better prices and better quality,” said Krepps.

Martin’s offers consumers more than 50,000 products throughout all of its departments.

On the horizon Culpeper has an Aldi, a company that has its roots in Germany where the Albrecht family opened the first store in 1961. Labeled as a discount grocer, you can save money by bagging your own items and paying for the use of a shopping cart - similar to the system for hauling baggage at the airport.

You may not have as many product choices but loyal customers are lured by the savings. Aldi held a job fair July 26 looking for job associates at their Fredericksburg and Culpeper locations.

Another German company, and chief competitor for Aldi, Lidl has made an entrance in the United States market establishing headquarters in Arlington last year with plans to open stores and a distribution center.

Lidl is a German global discount supermarket chain, based in Neckarsulm, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. They operate more than 10,000 stores across Europe. Similar to Aldi they offer a no frills approach to shopping with minimal staff.

In April, the Culpeper Town Planning Commission approved a site plan for a 36,000 square foot store located near Lowe’s on business 29.

If plans proceed, Culpeper could have one of the first Lidl stores in the United States by 2018. Their website slogan reads “fresh thinking is coming to the US.” They tout a shopping experience that will deliver the highest quality products at the lowest possible price and in the most efficient manner.

Targeted areas include states from Georgia to Pennsylvania.

Saying farewell to Food Lion Culpeper’s two Food Lion stores were sold in July to Weis Markets of ➤ See Grocery, Page 5

NEWS

Culpeper Times • August 4-10, 2016 ➤ Grocery, from Page 4 Pennsylvania who look to finalize the purchase of 38 Food Lion supermarket stores in Virginia, Maryland and Delaware in September or October.

Last week they announced their schedule to convert five Mars Super markets in Baltimore County into Weis Market locations.

The stores closed on July 29 to reopen as Weis Markets on Thursday, Aug. 4, with more than 500 former Mars employees joining the new Weis Markets store teams.

The conversion process would follow a similar pattern for the two Culpeper locations.

“We are excited to steadily grow within Baltimore County and will make this transition as seamless as possible for the community and our new associates,” said Kurt Schertle, Weis Markets’ Chief Operating Officer.

According to their press release, the newly converted Weis Markets stores will add more than 3,000 Weis brand products which offer brand name quality at an affordable price. Weis Markets has a long-standing history with local farmers and will continue to partner with growers to provide shoppers fresh and affordable food including a wide selection of organic produce, baked goods, quality meats and fresh dairy items.

Market Share in Culpeper Food World, based in Baltimore, Maryland, is a publication regarded as an authoritative voice when it comes to all things related to the grocery store industry. In June, they published their market survey of 88 counties from Central Pennsylvania to Southeastern Virginia. The data reflects a 12-month period ending March 31, 2015. The sales for Culpeper’s top 10 represent $138.6 million dollars.

Culpeper consumers, who voted in the Culpeper Times Best of the Best survey, mirrored the results of Food World’s analysis with Martin’s taking first place capturing 24.18 percent of the market share.

In neighboring Fauquier County, Walmart slightly edged out Giant taking

the top spot which Giant had held for years. Giant/ Martin’s are owned by the same company, Ahold USA. With a philosophy of giving back to the communities they serve, Martin’s does its share of sharing.

“We make a difference by being a better neighbor in our local community with our efforts to fight hunger and improve the

lives of children and supporting our servicemen and women,” said Krepps.

Over the past year the Culpepper store alone has donated more than $45,000 to the community with the support of their customers, associates and vendors.

BEHIND THE BADGE Slaughter brings his leadership skills to Culpeper's police force Born in Washington, DC he grew up in Washington Redskins’ territory, but as a boy he became a Dallas Cowboys fan, just as, when a senior in high school, he chose the Marines rather than follow the path of his father into the Army. Town Police Officer John Slaughter is, underneath the uniform exterior while dressed in police blues, an independent thinker. He is also a leader.

He brings both characteristics with him to the Culpeper Town Police Department.

During high school he wrestled and at one point, “played every sport they had,” until graduation when he followed the footsteps of an uncle who he looked up to and joined the Marines, as had his uncle. There is a strong thread of military service in Slaughter’s family.

His father was a Vietnam veteran as was his uncle. Another uncle served in the Navy. During his four years of active duty and six in the reserves Slaughter learned discipline and saw the Persian Gulf during Desert Storm /Shield with the

John “Johnny” Slaughter Age: 46 Married: four daughters Hobbies: Family, Dallas Cowboys fan, Cooking, Yard work.

Second Marine Division When he got out of active service in 1985 he went to work in the Richmond Sheriff’s Office. In 1999 he found a spot closer to “home” in the Fauquier County Sheriff’s Office. There he became a Field Training Officer and a SWAT team leader.

And not one to rest, he racked up a plethora of training and skills: Special Agent Tactical School with the DEA in Quantico, Patrol Rifle Instructor, Glock Armorer Certification, Shoot House Instructor, LiveFire Dynamic Clearing Techniques, Clandestine Laboratory Investigation/Safety at the DEA in Quantico, High Risk Entry with HSS International. The list can go on.

When he heard there was an opening in Culpeper Slaughter was

intrigued. “Everything felt good” he said of the Culpeper Town Police. “I was treated with so much respect here,” he said. So the decision was easy and Slaughter joined the force in 2015.

“I enjoy being here for the younger guys,” he says of his experience with the Town Police. He emphasized that “he’s not into writing tickets” but rather strives to be a person of “reason” who helps citizens where he can. He especially tries to encourage youngsters that he runs across.

“I let them know there is another life than the one they see around them.” Sometimes he is successful sometimes not but for Slaughter, who likes to take the path less travelled, the journey is as important as the goal.

“If I can help change just one life it’s worth it,” he said.

“Culpeper is fortunate to have a police veteran like Officer Slaughter in our department,” Culpeper Town Police Chief Chris Jenkins said. “We strive to hire well qualified officers like John so as to bring the best of

“I appreciated the depth of knowledge and experience he brought to the police force and by extension to the community,” Jenkins said, “and that is what made him so appealing as an applicant.”

Meryl and Bob Barfield were delighted when Bob was honored with Life Membership Status at an awards dinner held in his honor and hosted by the Mid-Day Lions Club July 28 at Pepper’s Grill.

Barfield honored with Lions' lifetime award

By Anita L. Sherman

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

Robert “Bob” Barfield made his way into the banquet room at Pepper’s Grill last Thursday evening along with his wife of 66 years Meryl. Surrounding him were members of his family including several grandchildren. He seemed a bit confused but quickly figured out that something was going on. Coming under the pretext that it was a regular meeting of the Mid-Day Lions Club where new officers would be announced, he wondered why all of his family had gathered.

“This is quite a surprise,” he said, “particularly when my two sons showed up from North Carolina.”

“Well, it pleases me that they are all here.”

President Lee Simpson thought the August meeting a good time to honor one of their own as Aug. 15 is the 56th Anniversary of the club.

Bob sat calmly as Simpson went on about the work of the club, their priorities, and the continuing work that they do in the community. Then came his special announcement that the Culpeper Mid-Day Lions Club was bestowing on Bob the Life Membership Award for his many years of service.

Bob far exceeds the requirements of being at least 70 and serving for 20 or more years. At 78, Bob has been active and providing outstanding service for 55 years.

Simpson pointed out that Bob has held every office available in the club and always performed in an exemplary and distinguished manner.

As a permanent director, he continues to offer sage advice, solicit guest speakers for general meetings, and he is a helpful historian when it comes to educating current and new

members.

Bob is a native son of Culpeper born February 18 in 1929.

Growing up during the Depression, he took stock early working at the local Safeway store but his dream was to become a diesel engineer.

When his father passed he withdrew from school returning to Culpeper to the Safeway chain to help support the family. His dedication and hard work led to his selection as store manager at a new store in Berryville where he stayed for some 14 years.

It was in Berryville that Bob joined the Lions Club. From Berryville, Bob went to Leesburg as a store manager there but at the end of three years he was notified of a vacancy in Culpeper which he quickly applied for and was accepted. Now, he was back in his hometown. Bob was the manager of that location for eight years before retiring. When Bob returned to Culpeper he transferred his membership from the Lion’s club in Berryville to the Host Club in Culpeper.

Back in Culpeper, Bob and his good friend Mr. Waller Jones, both businessmen, realized that lunch meetings were easier to attend. Thus the Mid-Day Lions Club was created.

Bob and his wife Meryl raised two sons and one daughter. Both Robert and John were present traveling from Wilmington, North Carolina to share in their father’s success.

Daughter Deborah Jones resides in Reva and she was there as well.

“Thank you, thank you so much,” he said humbly and clearly moved by the special attention and appreciation extended to him.

As he accepted the accolades and well wishes of his family and fellow Lions, he quickly pointed out that his greatest accomplishment was sharing the moment and his decades long marriage to his sweetheart Meryl.

Make homeownership affordable for your family (StatePoint) If homeownership feels like it’s beyond your reach, don’t throw in the towel just yet on the American dream. In the face of an ever-widening housing affordability gap, there are options you may not have considered, say experts.

“Manufactured homes are commonly available at lower monthly payments than what it costs to rent, providing an affordable path to homeownership for millions of Americans,” says Richard Jennison, president and CEO of the Manufactured Housing Institute (MHI).

Indeed, nationwide, there are 8.6 million manufactured homes, representing nearly 10 percent of the nation’s housing stock, according to MHI. These days, manufactured homes are being built with quality construction to meet up-to-date federal standards for extreme weather safety, wind resistance and energy efficiency; and boast modern design elements with features like luxury bathrooms, wood-burning fireplaces and state-of-the-art kitchens with energy-efficient appliances. What’s more, many are often situated in communities with swimming pools, playgrounds and club houses.

While these amenities may sound like they come with a hefty price tag, manufactured homes provide quality housing at a lower cost. Indeed, the average price of a new, singlesection manufactured home is less than $45,600 (excluding land), compared to $177,000 for a traditional home, according to MHI statistics.

“It’s important to remember that

the affordability of manufactured homes is not a product of lesser quality, but rather the efficient way building materials are produced, a savings that is passed on directly to the homebuyer,” says Jennison.

“Furthermore, they appreciate in value, just like site-built homes.”

The terms of a manufactured home purchase differ from sitebuilt homes. Be sure to ask the right questions at signing, including whether the home and its components come with warranties and what the terms are.

Manufactured homes can be found anywhere in the country, in rural, suburban and urban communities. To learn more about the benefits of investing and living in a manufactured home, visit Facebook. com/ManufacturedHousingInstitute.

If you are ready to take the step of saying goodbye to writing rent checks, do your research to discover the varied paths to affordable homeownership available today.

VIEWS

The right to be offended

I want to dispel a myth. In America, you do not have a right to not be Freedom BLAINE PARDOE offended. of speech practically ensures that at some point you will be offended by something someone has said or written.

Being offended is as American as apple pie and fireworks on the 4th of July. Part of the problem with being offended is that it is personal. Almost every joke is offensive to someone. I assure you, on a daily basis, you and I both offend someone – sometimes without even trying.

What is the harm in being offended?

Nothing. Some potentially hurt feelings, but that is it. There's no long term psychological damage from being offended. Actually there are benefits of offensive language. Being offended forces dialogue, discussion, debate, and thinking. People that complain they are offended by language or images are simply attempting to impose their beliefs on others. To me, that's offensive.

The problem with politically correct language and people trying to avoid being offended is that it is subjective.

Who determines what is offensive?

Even if you do attempt to remove things that are offensive in the world it doesn't solve a thing. For example, all of that fuss over the Confederate flag last year. Did it fix a single instance of racism in the country? No. All it did do is offend another segment of the population that felt their right of freedom of expression was being trampled on. One man’s offense is another man’s rights being trampled on.

If we are to ban things that are offensive – I have prepared a list of those things that I find obnoxious and

PARDOE’S PERSPECTIVE

offending. Imagine if these things were banned… l People whose pants hang well below their beltline. l Women who bend over wearing a thong - who should never even consider wearing a thong due to weight and lingerie engineering limitations. l Morons who drive with their highbeams on after you flash them. l Calls from scammers who claim to the IRS or Microsoft. l People who don't text using full words. (RU is not the same as "Are You") l Emoji abuse in text messages. You get one. That's it. Choose wisely. l People who cannot park. If you can't stop a vehicle properly, chances are you can't drive a vehicle. l Anyone that tries to convince me my political beliefs are wrong - on Facebook. l Historians who abuse their authority. l People who don't treat police officers with the respect they deserve. l Anyone who think Star Trek II the Wrath of Kahn is not the best movie ever made. l The guy that keeps tossing empty beer cans in my yard (what in the hell is up with that?) l That blue-haired old bitty that made a frowny face at me at Walmart when I was wearing my Make America Great Again hat. l Vegetarians who tell everyone they are vegetarians (we don't care) l People that burn the flag to make some point. l Illegal aliens in this country who publicly protest they should be allowed to stay despite breaking the law. (At least have the common sense to not hold up a sign to tell people that you are here illegally.) l People who give up before they don't even try (and complain that it was too hard to begin with.) l Crocs. (Seriously, they make

prisoners wear Crocs.) l Car drivers that don't remove their old political bumper stickers. (This seems to be an issue primarily with Prius drivers - go figure.) l Anyone playing their music so loud in the car next to me that my teeth ache. l People who believe the military is where we should perform social experiments. l Any misguided moron who wants to wage jihad in my country. l People who believe they have rights to things that they don't. l Any person that blames video games for society's ills. l People who don't think comic books are art. l Conspiracy theorists. (Our government isn’t bright enough to pull off your silly conspiracy.) l Charities that spend the money on themselves, not their cause. l People that block highways to protest something. Your right to protest ends as my bumper hits your kneecaps) l People that take their dogs to Lowes or Home Depot. l Individuals lacking a sense of humor. l People on Facebook that complain when I post something that might be a spoiler. (It's not my fault you didn't watch Game of Thrones like everyone else did two nights ago.) l Anyone that checks their phone when I'm talking to them. l People that think cyberbullying is the same as physical bullying. l People that use the name "Hitler" to describe a politician they don't agree with.

These things offend me – yet somehow my life continues on. I suggest that you do the same.

BEST BET. It’s been just a few weeks since Lake Pelham Adventures opened for business. You’ll note in our In Brief section (page 18) that hours have been extended to include Sundays. The really cool thing about this venture other than the obvious of having access to Lake Pelham is how it came about. Situated near Al Esh’s Ole Country Store, the Town of Culpeper partnered with him to build the boat storage building on his property and have his employees help with rentals. The town needs access when work begins on the Mountain Run Dam rehabilitation. These types of business/government collaborations are to be applauded. It’s a win-win all round and the number of water lovers enjoying the lake precipitated adding hours. This canoer and his faithful canine buddy were among the first out when the ribbon cutting was held July 16.

'OKLAHOMA!' is still OK The America of 1943 is long gone, but some memorabilia of that far off time are sturdy enough to come out of the trunk and be worn again.

Specifically, “Oklahoma!”, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s first great hit, the musical comedy that broke box office records for eighteen years, the queen of musical “firsts” (if you don’t mention “Showboat”), the show that had more doubters than backers and ended up making the Theatre Guild very rich indeed.

But your reputation as an innovative piece is only as good as the innovation lasts, and by the ‘60s, even “Oklahoma!” was beginning to look a little, well, dated. Nevertheless, endless national tours, revivals, and

productions from professional theatre all the way down to high school stages continue to prove its resilience.

There may be an Awa tribesman in the Brazilian rainforest who still doesn’t know what a surrey with the fringe on top is, but it’s not for want of theatres worldwide revisiting this old chestnut.

In its third (and by far the best) “Oklahoma!”, Riverside Dinner Theatre – now the Riverside Center for Performing Arts – celebrates its eighteenth year of presenting Broadway favorites regionally.

There’s a new energy and an attention to detail that does credit to co-directors Patrick A’Hearn and Penny Ayn Maas.

Set designer, Frank Foster, goes for a spare, warm prairie look with slightly raked stage of wide planks and simple silhouettes of farm house, smoke house, and barn. Two tall windmills stand out against the subtly shifting golden hued sky.

Against this backdrop, 1907 (the

You don’t really appreciate a good cast until you’ve seen a not-so-good one, and the casting for this show is a major strength. This is the storied West, where the men are tough and the women are tougher. At last - no weak, fluttering Aunt Eller for us!

Kathy Halenda does what should always be done with this role. As the central figure who knows everybody’s business because they bring it to her, she’s the one with the boots. Things get done and people behave because she says so. Kudos to Ms. Halenda, who makes it all look natural.

Of course, Curly and Laurey are the real core of the story, and Matt Polson and Jackie Raye are a good fit.

Their love story might be as bumpy as a carriage ride on the back roads, but the chemistry is right and the voices are sublime. Mr. Polson proves it from the beginning with his creamy rendition of “Oh, What a Beautiful Mornin’” and he and Ms. Raye together in “People Will Say We’re in Love” are perfection. Ms Raye, in her farm girl overalls, also brings attitude and toughness, giving Curly

How to tell if water has damaged your car With heavy rain pounding many parts of the country, there’s a good chance that you’ll drive through high water that could damage your vehicle. Even though your vehicle may not have been flooded or completely covered in water, the Car Care Council recommends that motorists follow these guidelines to check for damage due to water intrusion or contamination: l Check interior carpets, upholstery and door and trim panels for dampness. If they are wet, then the vehicle will need professional attention. If you simply let the carpet dry, it will quickly grow mildew and give off nasty odors. Seat brackets, motors and modules should also be checked for rust and proper operation. xxx l Pull the engine oil and transmission fluid dipsticks and differential plug. If the fluid appears milky, diluted, Courtesy of ASE is no longer its original color or is beige in color, then it is likely the pans contain water. The vehicle should be towed to your ASE-certified technician or repair shop.

Driving the vehicle with water present may damage the internal parts and require extensive overhaul or repairs.

The council reminds motorists that some new synthetic Culpeper: 540-727-8034 Orange: 540-661-1300 differential fluids may appear to be milky but are not Truck Services: 540-829-4999 water contaminated. When in doubt, a professional automotive technician should make the evaluation. l Check the air filter for water. If it is wet, replace the air filter and change the oil l Check the undercarriage, bumpers, radiator area and frame for mud, grass, dirt, debris and rust. If any of these are present, the vehicle should be washed and cleaned as soon as possible. l Check the exterior lights for moisture and water.

Replace headlights and bulbs that contain water. l Listen for abnormal noises while the engine is running. Make a note of where the noise is coming from and take the vehicle to a professional automotive technician as soon as possible. Pay particular attention to the alternator, serpentine belt, starter, power steering unit, air conditioner and wheel bearings.

a believable obstacle.

Without conflict there’s no story, and Jud Fry delivers a conflict we can believe in. Stepping out of early musical comedy tradition, “Oklahoma!” had the nerve to go dark with this character, and Wyn Delano makes “poor Jud” memorable not just for his roughly handsome, dangerous appeal, but for a hint of pathos. Just a farm hand, not good enough for Miss Laurey, Jud reveals a seriously dramatic undercurrent in his chilling theme “Lonely Room.” It is also to the credit of the directors that the scenes of real menace – Laurey and Jud, Jud and Curly – are given sharp clarity. No waffling, no soft touches.

Balancing the real love story and the threat of Jud is the comic relief of scatterbrained Ado Annie (Kylie Arnold), the slippery peddler Ali Hakim (Alan Hoffman) and the devoted Gomer Pyle send-up, Will Parker (Calvin Malone).

She’s the girl who “Cain’t Say No” and is “All er Nothin’” when it comes to the fellers, but with all the sex appeal of Raggedy Ann, censors raise nary an eyebrow. Ms. Arnold does what is necessary in this role – a difficult one for its built-in annoying quality – and even brings a little side dish of appeal. Her voice, bright to the point of metallic when she belts ‘em out, could use some help from the sound board in bringing down the volume. David Schubert (playing Andrew Carnes) makes a memorable appearance as Ado Annie’s suspicious daddy-with-a-shotgun.

Costumes by Gaye Law have the authentic look of a period and place reminiscent of county fairs and barn raisings. Only Ado Annie, the designated comic character, has the loud colors and low cuts that go with the character.

“Oklahoma” broke ground with its western flavored choreography and balletic dream sequence, a tradition that director/choreographer Penny Ayn Maas respects and continues.

Ensemble work is tight and seamless, especially thrilling in “The Farmer and the Cowman” and of course, “Oklahoma!”

Each new generation should experience the great classics of American musical theatre, and “Oklahoma!” – still lively at seventythree – remains on that short list. The corn may be “as high as an elephant’s eye”, but oh, what a beautiful play!

Police urge residents to be mindful of back to school safety As another summer break draws to an end, it is time once again for the students to return to school. As we all know the first days of a new school year are a challenge for everyone.

Parents are worried about getting children on the bus or dropped off at school. Teachers are thinking about instruction and lessons. Administrators are looking at maintaining schedules and encouraging their staffs to provide the best instruction.

The Culpeper Police Department wants everyone to think safety.

Safety is vital to remember while we are all worrying about the challenges of the new school year. Some areas to pay particular attention to are: School bus stops – Please watch for pedestrians, especially children. Also, never pass a stopped school bus.

Schools zones – Watch your speed. Pay attention to officers and crossing guards who are directing traffic.

Student safety – Ensure children are dressed appropriately for the weather, good visibility, and have school supplies secured, to avoid dropping materials while moving around buses and vehicles.

This school year will present an additional challenge, with the road construction taking place on North Main Street. This may cause traffic delays. Please be patient with the construction workers and be mindful of their safety.

The Culpeper Police Department will be conducting extra patrols and enforcement duties in and around schools zones. The added visibility will enhance awareness ➤ See School, Page 17

➤ School, from Page 16 and safety in these zones as people return to the routine of the school year.

Chief Chris Jenkins encourages everyone “to be observant of school bus stops and of students on foot. He asks that the community be patient as everyone returns to their school year Schedules.”

The National Highway Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) comments that, “students are 50 times more likely to arrive at school safely when riding a bus than any other means of transportation to school.

They also note that more pedestrian children are injured during the morning and evening hours as the school year

continues due to diminishing daylight.” This is a sobering reminder to remain aware when travelling through areas where younger pedestrians are moving. Culpeper County Public Schools also provides real-time tracking of its school buses through a GPS based system. This adds additional security for the students while riding the buses.

Parents, and regular commuters, are reminded to allow extra time when transporting children to school and use a pre-planned route. One of the most important things that drivers can do during these very exciting first days of school is to avoid cell phone usage when you encounter a school zone or bus stop area.

As always drivers are reminded not to text and drive.

While you can’t beat the flavor of a homegrown tomato, pairing it with a wine can be somewhat challenging.
