RICH CROWLEY’S SNAPSHOT OF CULPEPER

Clowning around not funny

Fitch Ratings announced Sept. 30 an upgrade of it Issuer Default Rating (IDR) for Culpeper County, Virginia from AA to AAA. This rating upgrade comes as a result of several key rating drivers. Some of those drivers Fitch identified are: l The rating upgrade reflects application of Fitch’s revised criteria for U.S. state and local governments, which was released on April 18. The revised criteria highlight the County’s stable economic base, supporting historically strong operating performance and a solid revenue framework, coupled with conservative liability management that supports the ‘AAA’ IDR. l The County enjoys strong revenue flexibility. The County’s overall debt and pension liability burden is low and future debt needs are manageable. l The County’s historical operating performance demonstrates resiliency.

Reserves remained healthy during and after the recession. Given the Culpeper County’s revenue flexibility and strong reserves, the County is poised to perform well in an economic downturn.

Culpeper County Administration and Finance are pleased to announce this upgrade. It is a reflection of the careful consideration given by the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors to its budgetary practices over a number of years. The Board has been fiscally conservative and responsible with the tax dollars of the citizens of Culpeper, and that is clearly demonstrated by this AAA rating, the highest rating that can be achieved.

Several in the Culpeper community have been alarmed by reports of derelict persons posing as clowns. Over the weekend, social media carried reports out of Northern Virginia on alleged sightings. One such sighting reportedly occurred at Yowell Meadow Park. Local law enforcement remains optimistic that most of these are unwarranted.

Culpeper Town Police report receiving a couple of calls and Facebook message regarding this. According to Lt. Jeff Dodson they were checked out.

“Nothing was found on all occasions,” reported Dodson. “The pictures being shared that we have seen appear to be the same ones being shared nationwide.

They also appear to be photoshopped/ altered. None of these photos being shared can be linked to any location in Culpeper.”

Hurricane Matthew could bring outages

Slow but steady

The Culpeper County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved an application for 2018 VDOT Revenue Sharing Funds at their Tuesday morning meeting. The Board has moved consistently for decades to garner funds for road improvements.

The revenue sharing program that VDOT has matches funds that local governments provide for improvements often specifically targeted at Culpeper’s secondary roads. The application is for $1,998,930 and would include sections of five roads. Catalpa supervisor Sue Hansohn understands the process but is frustrated that more can’t be done sooner.

“Maybe at some point we’ll have to look at doing these projects on our own,” said Hansohn.

MITCHELLS’ MURALS Down Route 522 south in Culpeper County sits the historical and somewhat famous Mitchells Presbyterian Church. It was built in 1879 and beginning in 1888 Joseph Oddenino spent the next seven years painting murals that have lasted until this time. People travel from long distances to see them. In this picture is a very knowledgeable and nice man named Tom Thomas who takes care of the artwork and restores it as needed. Tom was high on a scaffold working on an outside window when I pulled up and asked if he knew if the building was open. He got right down and saw to it that I got a guided tour of this fascinating church.

Rappahannock Electric Cooperative (REC) crews are preparing for the possibility of power outages due to Hurricane Matthew. Although Hurricane Matthew’s projected course has shifted direction, wind and rain are still in the forecast for Saturday. These conditions could cause debris, trees and tree limbs to fall onto power lines creating outages.

REC has field personnel standing by to ensure service restoration is completed as quickly and safely as possible throughout the counties we serve. If conditions are fair and power outages do not affect REC’s members, crews will be available on an as needed basis to assist other cooperatives affected by the storm.

“While we prepare at REC, you can prepare too,” said Maxie Rozell, manager of safety, security, and risk management at REC. “Stock up on items like batteries and flashlights, a can opener, a batterypowered radio, and cash. Also, make sure all of your mobile devices are fully charged.”

A list items to include in a storm kit is available at www.myrec.coop/stormprep.

Information regarding outages will be provided on both REC’s Outage Center and Facebook page.

To report an outage, go to www.myrec. coop/out.

For those who prefer to phone in to report an outage, call toll-free: 1-800-5523904.

Culpeper Times • October 6-12, 2016

When Culpeper Sheriff Scott Jenkins looked out across the room what he saw were “the top levels of law enforcement and government” in a five county area. The reason for their coming together: heroin. The anticipated result: a viable plan to counteract the epidemic now sweeping across the Northern Piedmont region. The gathering was a who’s who of law enforcement to include the FBI. The four hour meeting came after Jenkins insisted that the area needed to do more than recognize the issue of heroin addiction.

“We had identified the problem,” he said.

“Now it was time to push the community to do something towards treatment.”

“We need to do something different,” Jenkins said, “instead of housing addicts in jail.”

He emphasized the need for treatment because, “We know they (addicts) can’t get off of the stuff alone.”

The Culpeper Sheriff pushed for the community meeting to gather ideas and launch a coordinated plan to battle heroin across the region.

“We made a good start,” Jenkins said of the September 26 meeting here in Culpeper.

Law enforcement, social services, the schools, elected government town officials and community activists, all attended the invitation only meeting.

Jenkins opened and hosted the gathering. State Police Special Agent Tom Murphy, Coordinator of the Blue Ridge Narcotics and Gang Task Force, led the 50 person group as it discussed heroin addiction in the five

county area.

Discussion ranged from prevention to resource gathering to law enforcement options.

The following is a snapshot of the discussions: Law Enforcement: Substance Abuse Counselors are needed. l Madison will be holding a Substance Abuse meeting on October 31, 2016 called by Juvenile Court Judge Berry. l Drug Courts are needed - Federal Grants will be available June 2017. l The area should seek federal funds to fight the epidemic. l There is a possibility of a subOxone treatment center in Culpeper. l Halfway houses are needed to provide extended care. l Detention diversion is changing to substance abuse center. l

Prevention: Medicare will change in 2017 to pay more of resident treatment and outpatient treatment. l Boxwood – there are beds available. l There is need for a community based program to fight addiction. l School curriculums need to address the situation. l Youth survey to be conducted to determine extent of drug abuse and use. l Teachers need to be educated to look for signs of use and abuse. l Young children educational programs. l Public Service Announcements by students. l Student peer presentations in schools. l

Enforcement:

l The Culpeper Police Department is pre-

paring a resource guide for assistance that covers Richmond to NOVA. l There are cell phone apps that are available for locating assistance. l Resources to be provided to Emergency Medical Services. l EMS to provide statistics to track use and overdoses l Legislation is needed regarding the PMP program that allows law enforcement involvement l Sharing of information among all entities to track and monitor l An eleven member steering committee was tasked with exploring these and other options.

Members of the committee are: Sean Polster - Warrenton Town Council Lisa Peacock - Culpeper County Human Services Sarah Berry - Culpeper County Human Services Susan Edwards - Culpeper Medical Center Moira Satre - Come as You Are Program ➤ See Heroin, Page 5

Attorney General Mark Herring was in Warrenton Monday night for a showing of his office’s production of “Heroin: The Hardest Hit,” a documentary on heroin, addiction, and recovery efforts in Virginia. He is pictured here with Fauquier County Sheriff Bob Mosier. ➤ Heroin, from Page 4 Sheriff Scott Jenkins Culpeper County Ed Long - Living the Dream Program Stephanie McDonald Probation and Parole Mike Spory - Probation and Parole Eric Fling - Probation and Parole Tom Murphy - Coordinator - Blue Ridge Narcotics and Gang Task Force.

The Steering Committee’s first meeting is scheduled for Oct. 19.

Heroin: The Hardest Hit Attorney General Mark Herring came to Culpeper shortly after he was elected in 2014. He met and listened to law enforcement personnel representing local, regional and state offices about the challenges of combating heroin - that it was requiring 24/7 attention and topped the list in terms of time, energy and resources.

On Monday, Herring was in Warrenton for a showing of a documentary produced by his office, “Heroin: The Hardest Hit.” Most telling are the personal stories of families affected by the death of a loved one due to an opioid overdose.

Herring shared statistics on the scary and tragic effects of the heroin and prescription drug crisis that continues to claim hundreds of lives in Virginia. “As we closed the books on 2015, it was approaching 1000 and more...2016 is on track for the same…more are dying from drug overdoses than car

crashes...it’s a heartbreaking number,” said Herring advocating that parents take serious stock of their medicine cabinets. Oftentimes a sports injury or dental work will expose victims to painkillers. When those run out, they will turn to cheap and potent heroin that is so readily available on the streets for quick relief.

Herring reported that starting in 2010, heroin deaths started to kick up.

Now, there is inconsistency in the purity of content, “people have no idea just what they are buying.”

Distributors can stretch their product using additives - many prove lethal like fentanyl. “We’ve seen a scary rise in the use of additives,” said Herring. “Two milligrams of fentanyl can be deadly...in 2007 Virginia had 48 deaths attributed to fentanyl overdoses...last year it was 224 and there are 136 deaths so far this year.”

Herring calls on communities for a multi-faceted approach including holding doctors and pharmacists accountable, a robust education approach in schools and churches, better equipped law enforcement and social service agencies.

“We really need to get this turned around...parents and children need to know just how dangerous and deadly these drugs can be,” said Herring adding that many officers are now equipped with Narcan which can effectively counteract the effects of an overdose if administered quickly. Recent legislation has put into effect the Good Samaritan law which encourages folks to call ‘911’ without fear of reciprocity.

“We’ve had bodies left at emergency centers...because people are afraid to be associated with an overdose situation,” said Herring.

Fauquier County Sheriff Bob Mosier reported that they’ve recently had five saves from the use of Narcan.

They’ve also had 11 deaths.

“We have sounded the alarm about the heroin and prescription drug crisis,” said Herring, “we’re talking about it...it’s a message that everyone needs to hear...I’ve heard from so many heartbroken parents that never thought it could happen to themselves.”

“We need all hands on deck...we’re losing loved ones.”

Be prepared should be your mantra when bringing a new pet into your home. Cats are particularly sensitive to new surroundings and some may hide under a bed or in a closet for days or even weeks.

You can avoid pitfalls with your new critter and help him or her adapt more easily by following these guidelines: Before You Bring Your Cat Home l Cats are territorial, and coming into a new home leaves them feeling really uneasy. There’s all that unexplored space, and who knows what may lurk there. Do him a favor and provide a small area to call his own for the first few days or weeks.

A bathroom or laundry room works well. Furnish the room with cat amenities, such as food, water and a litter box. You’ll want to spend time with your cat, so make sure there’s a comfortable place for you to sit as well. l Fill a litter box with one or two inches of litter and place it in his room where he can use it undisturbed. After all, everyone deserves a modicum of privacy when pottying, and giving him that will help forestall litter box aversion. Not sure which litter to choose? Check out How to Choose A Cat Litter. l Set up a feeding station with food and water bowls. Locate it away from the litter box. l Cats love to get away from it all in small places, and you can provide one for your new cat as his own little safe haven. If he came home in a cat carrier, that might be a good choice.

You can also make one by cutting a doorway for her in the end of a box.

If you prefer, you can buy a covered cat bed at a pet supply store. In either case, make sure the space is big enough for the cat to stand up and turn around in. Cat “feng shui” probably requires that he or she be able to see the door to the room from his hidey hole, so he won’t be startled. l A cat’s claws need to be worn down, and they do this by scratching on things. Since you prefer that it not be your chairs and sofa, provide your cat with a socially acceptable scratching place. Some types are made of corrugated cardboard and lie on the floor; others are posts which have to be tall enough so that

the cat can extend himself upward to scratch. You can encourage your cat (once he has arrived) to use the post by sprinkling it with catnip or dangling a toy at the top. He’ll get the idea. You’ll probably want a scratching post in each room where there is soft furniture, perhaps blocking access to it. You can also install sticky tape (available at pet supply stores) to corners of upholstered furniture to dissuade scratching. l Look at your house with a curious cat’s eye view for its climbing and exploring potential. When your cat is acclimated to your home, you may be surprised to find him on top of the upper kitchen cabinets, so make sure there’s nothing on display there or on other high shelves that can be damaged or knocked off. l Look for holes or registers that leave ductwork accessible and cover them up. A kitten can easily slither into one of these. You won’t want firemen in the house, jackhammering the concrete floor to extract your cat. l If possible, buy a cat tree for your new family member. Cats like to survey their territory, so a high perch is often a favored resting place. l If there are other human family members, go over the ground rules about your new pet. Remind them not to startle him and to keep the door to his room shut. l Bone up on how to introduce your cat to other pets. Keep her door closed and don’t let your other pet race in unexpectedly.

First Day Now, you are ready for your cat’s homecoming. Preferably, bring her home in a cat carrier. It will feel safer to her. She has seen a lot of excitement, so take her directly to her new room. (Make sure the toilet lid is down, if she’s to acclimate in your bathroom.) Ideally, you would restrict her exposure to the whole family, but naturally, everyone is going to want to see her. Remind them of the ground rules you’ve set up. l Sit on the floor and let her come to you. Don’t force her. Just let her get acquainted on her own time.

If she doesn’t approach, leave her alone and try again later. Some cats are particularly frightened, and she may retreat to her hidey hole and not come out when you’re around at all. She may only come out at night when the house is quiet. Give her time.

HOME & GARDEN Monarchs head south By midSeptember, I was starting to hear a lot of reports locally of monarch butterflies in migration, often in locations where those reporting them hadn’t seen monarchs before.

This was the case at my house as well. For the first time in the five years I’ve lived on this heavily wooded property, I spotted one feeding on my Autumn Joy sedum. Monarchs typically favor open fields, where their host plants, in the milkweed family, are more likely to grow. This nonnative sedum, which I’ve dragged from house to house in a concrete container for more than a decade, has large clusters of pink flowers that usually attract butterflies late in the summer and early fall, when many of the natives in my yard have finished blooming. Still, the monarch was a real surprise, as was an American lady, which also showed up for the first time.

The monarch stuck around for three days (assuming it was the same butterfly), so I got a chance to take a few photos and enjoy it before it continued its migration journey to the cool, damp fir forests of central Mexico’s highlands, where it will spend the winter. Likely it will join other monarchs on the way.

A few days later, I notice several monarchs on some Jerusalem artichoke blossoms in a pasture near Sperryville. Likely also in migration, the butterflies stayed around for a few days before cold weather either sent them to cover or they moved on.

Other sightings of monarchs in migration have been reported on Rappnet, our county Listserv, and

WILD IDEAS Pam Owen

from other sources, including the same Tiger Valley resident I wrote about in my last column who had spotted what is likely a rufous hummingbird in her garden. She reported that more than a dozen monarchs suddenly appeared on asters in her garden the last Tuesday (Sept. 27). They disappeared when the rain started that night, but reappeared in even higher numbers (about 18, she said) once sunny days returned.

I also had a monarch show up on my smooth blue asters when the rain ended, likely not the same one that had been on the sedum but rather another migrating through from the north.

Are monarchs actually more plentiful this year, or, with all the publicity about them, are we just more aware of them? It’s hard to know from anecdotal reports. In this year’s Rappahannock butterfly count, held in July — well before the start of the fall migration — only four monarchs were counted, which is the average for the six years of the count.

Every fall monarch butterflies all over the United States head to cool, damp fir forests of central Mexico’s highlands to spend the winter, with those that spend the summer in the East traveling up to 3,000 miles. According to Monarch Watch (monarchwatch.org), a nonprofit dedicated to conserving the species, monarchs are the only butterflies to make such a long, two-way migration every year — “flying in masses to the same winter roosts, often to the exact same trees.”

The monarchs that migrate south are in the last generation the species produces every summer, sometimes called the “Methusala” generation because they also live longer than earlier generations born in the same year. This generation emerges from

Helping migrating species Monarch Watch encourages citizens to help the monarch on its migration by planting “Monarch Waystations,” special gardens plants that provide the butterflies with nectar on their journey and host the caterpillars they produce in the spring.

Find out more about these waystations and about monarchs in general at the organization’s website.

To help understand and conserve migrating species, several organizations encourage citizen scientists (anyone with an interest in nature) to also submit their observations. The Journey North (learner.org/jnorth) collects data on monarchs, hummingbirds, eagles, robins, whooping cranes and gray whales.

Report migrating dragonflies to the Dragonfly Partnership (migratorydragonflypartnership. org). The Cornel Lab of Ornithology’s eBird program (ebird.org) collects data on sightings of birds, migrating or otherwise, throughout the year.

Both Journey North and eBird have interactive maps showing sightings as they are reported, and the Journey North has lists of sightings.

Culpeper Times • October 6-12, 2016

➤ Monarch, from Page 8 chrysalises as adults in late summer or early fall. Rather than mating when they emerge, they save their energy for the long trip south, mating when they return the following spring.

As with many seasonal behaviors, the monarch's fall migration is driven by shortening days. Their migration through Virginia runs from early September to late October, peaking around the last week of September. Being cold-blooded, migrating monarchs travel only when temperatures are warm enough, roosting together at night to keep each other warm. Once at their destination in Mexico, monarchs roost together by the thousands for protection from cold and wind.

Along the migration journey, monarchs must stop to fuel up, storing fat in their abdomens that must last them through the winter and their return flight back in the spring.

According to Monarch Watch, “they actually gain weight during the trip.”

Although some of us who spotted monarchs in our gardens this year have planted milkweed, host plants for the monarch’s caterpillars, migrating adults are more interested in fueling up on the nectar of a variety of flowers that are blooming during their migration.

Many of their refueling stops, particularly in the plains states, have been disappearing because of widespread herbicide and pesticide use

SAFETY

Eat and be eaten

A large black-and-yellow argiope spider wraps up its prey, a red-footed cannibalfly, another fierce predator. Like many orbweavers (which spin the round, iconic spider webs), these argiopes breed in late summer and early fall, spinning large webs in which to put their egg sacs and to trap prey. The doomed cannibalfly may be the first meal for this spider’s young when they hatch out. Argiopes often inhabit gardens. I found this one had attached its web to branches of a large sage in my herb garden. and habitat loss, so Monarch Watch encourages citizens to plant “Monarch Waystations.”

Researchers are still trying to solve some of the mysteries around this marathon flight, including whether monarchs conserve energy in flight by gliding on air currents and how new generations find the same roosting spot in Mexico every year. Collecting data on migrating species is crucial

to their conservation, and several organizations welcome help from citizen scientists. © 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.

Knights of Columbus raise more than $12,000 in memory of J.J. Quinn

By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

It’s a number that still surprises Johnny Quinn.

A commercial pilot and son of J.J. Quinn, the younger Quinn shakes his head at the amount of hours his dad put in as a volunteer pilot for Angel Flight.

“He flew 543 hours,” Johnny Quinn said with a little chuckle, “that’s more than I have as a commercial pilot.”

That tireless volunteerism endeared J.J. Quinn to many, and they turned out Monday to honor his at the inaugural J.J. Quinn Memorial Charity Golf Tournament benefitting Angel Flight.

J.J. Quinn, who died May 24 in an airplane accident, was remembered fondly by his friends in the Knights of Columbus John J. Cempre Council 6328. The K of C organized the event, which Quinn was helping plan prior to his death.

K of C member Tony Windland and his family were directly impacted by Quinn, as Windland’s son Andrew was the recipient of the first Angel Flight into Culpeper Regional Airport with Quinn ➤ See Quinn, Page 12

“There was an immediate bond,” Tony said. “J.J. was just a real likeable guy. His love that he had and the compassion that he had for doing what he did was infectious. It was not a professional relationship, it was more like a one-on-one relationship.”

Andrew passed in 2012 at age 13 after a years-long battle with desmoplastic round cell tumors, but the bond between Quinn and his family remained.

On Monday, Andrew’s sister Suzi recalled why Quinn was so special to her family.

“This experience is an experience we will never forget,” Suzi Windland said. “It began a twoyear relationship with Angel Flight and helped maximize our time as a family.”

The tournament drew 18 teams this year, raising more than $12,000.

It brought a tear to the eye of Quinn’s daughter, Kelly Murphy.

“I’m just honored they carried on dad’s legacy,” Murphy said. “He really was an ambassador, not only for aviation but for Culpeper.”

“He gave of himself so selflessly,” Johnny Quinn said.

Prior to the tournament, a missing man formation was flown

in memory of Quinn.

Quinn will also be on the minds of many at the 17th annual Culpeper AirFest, being held Saturday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Tanya Woodward, manager at Culpeper Regional Airport, said Quinn was “one of our founding fathers,” having built the first hangar of its kind “with his own funds.” “He has always been an ambassador for aviation.”

JJ Quinn loved his family and was a cherished friend to many.

His positive attitude and sense of humor was contagious and inspiring. He had a joke for nearly every occasion and believed in living his life to the fullest.

In 2016, several new hangars at the Culpeper Airport were named in his honor. A more than fitting remembrance for a man who has made such a difference in the lives of so many.

His funeral was held on May 28, 2016 at Found & Sons Funeral Chapel. His obituary notes that “J.J. was the definition of a life well-lived.”

JJ Quinn was born on August 25, 1934 in Culpeper and passed away on May 24, 2016 doing what he loved to do, flying.

No doubt his spirit will be at this year’s AirFest. He loved everything about flying and delighted when his body, spirit and soul could soar.

Board approves rezoning for Fays 4 Properties, LLC

By Anita L. Sherman STAFF WRITER

The Culpeper County Planning Commission gave the nod (8-1) in September to a request by Stephen Fay (Fay 4 Properties, LLC) to rezone 5.825 acres from R-1 (Residential) to CS (Commercial Services).

The Culpeper County Board of Supervisors unanimously approved that request at their Tuesday evening meeting.

In their report, the planning commission felt that the property in question was well suited for development, had no conflict with the county’s comprehensive plan, had adequately addressed traffic and met the needs of the community.

The property, which is adjacent to the Battlefield Toyota dealership, would accommodate 188 parking spaces and create a new automotive dealership offering new and used Chevrolet and GMC vehicles.

While the rezoning has been approved, the project is still subject to architectural review. VDOT is cur-

rently working in that area on improvements to the intersection with an anticipated completion in January 2017.

“I know this is a great plan and great business,” said West Fairfax Supervisor Gary Deal, “my concern is the proposed commercial entrance from 718...I trust your assurances that its primary use will be for service vehicles and employees.”

Property owner Stephen Fay agreed that the access to the proposed new dealership from Mountain Run Lake would not be problematic.

“My expectation for Mountain Run is that usage would be minimal...perhaps for a test drive or vehicles being serviced...we do not anticipate it being overrun with our traffic.”

Lighting and noise were issues with Chairman Alexa Fritz (Salem) and Supervisor Sue Hansohn (Catalpa).

Unique photo exhibit opens at The Loft

By Laura Bynum

SPECIAL TO THE CULPEPER TIMES

BORDERLANDS began as a celebration of the human form with arts a’loft board member Samantha Whitesides being photographed by local artist Mark Saylor. When brought up at The Loft’s ArtSpeak!

- a salon held the last Thursday of each month at which creative souls of all stripes gather to coalesce and inspire - Nol Putnam upped the ante by throwing in as a model for this provocative event.

“What started as a straightforward photography exhibit became something altogether different when discussed with 25 creative minds,”Patty Werick, proprietor of The Loft, explained.

“Mark’s photographs of Sam (age 40) became something more profound with the addition of Nol Putnam.” Putnam being an elegant, 82-year old blacksmith whose work is on display at the Washington National Cathedral.

To add to the visual experience, a number of photographs will be enhanced with audio contributions provided by ArtSpeak!’s local authors. (To enjoy the audio, please bring an iPhone or Android, and

headphones; a limited number of headphones will be available for use.)

This piece that Patty sums up as, “…a unique, haunting and poignant look at our shared humanness,” is partially funded by arts a’loft - The Loft’s non-profit wing that seeks to embolden local artists by providing creative and fiscal support. arts a’loft’s purpose is to support collaborative ideas and efforts that create unique, edgy, and provocative exhibits usually only found in dense metropolitan areas. This will be the 501c3’s second project.

Opening night is Friday, Oct. 14, from 6-9 p.m. Open to the public with libations, light refreshments and music featured by Jordan Bryson. The Loft is located at 107b East Davis Street, Culpeper (located on the second floor) Ongoing hours are Oct. 15 - Nov. 6. Each Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. Each Sunday from noon - 5 p.m.

All photographs by Mark Saylor and will be available for purchase.

About the photographer Mark Saylor’s photographic experience started in the 60s during junior high when he volunteered to help with a school project shooting background stills for a small instructional film being made for teachers. Given a Yashica rangefinder camera, a few minutes of instruction and a roll of film he was told “just shoot pictures of what is happening here.”

The opportunity and experience made such an impact, that from that moment on, Saylor directed his energies towards a career involving just that. Saylor went on to attend Brooks Institute and is educated as a Industrial Scientific photographer. Following Brooks, Mark found a career with the civil service where he and his family were able to live abroad. Throughout his travels, Saylor was able to document diverse landscapes, and experience the subtleties of different cultures. While Saylor’s career allows him to explore the arcane specifics of visual problem solving, his fine art work allows him artistic freedom in the creation of images exploring texture, color and light. And though he was schooled as a traditional wet-film based pho-

tographer, he has seamlessly made the transition to the widened parameters that contemporary digital imaging has offered. Built on the foundations of tradition, while embracing new technologies, Saylor’s work expresses equal parts technical aptitude, opportune timing and singular vision. Mark Saylor’s desire of photography started in Willow Grove PA. Growing up he spent much of his time at the family cabin on the Delaware River in Upper Black Eddy, he still considers the Willow Grove area home.

A veteran’s story

In October of 1781 around 16,000 American and French forces initiated the siege against Lord Cornwallis’ army.

Many men from Culpeper County participated in this pivotal event which helped end the American Revolution.

Edward Eley was born in Culpeper County on August 8, 1751. He was a descendant of Henry Eley, an iron founder employed by Governor Spotswood.

Edward Eley had three tours of service during the Revolution. He first entered the service while living in Spotsylvania County, volunteering for the militia under Captain John Herndon in 1780. His company guarded and marched 40 British prisoners from Fredericksburg over the Blue Ridge to Staunton.

The next year Edward was drafted twice. He recounted his experiences in his veteran’s pension application, supplying a dramatic account of the Yorktown siege preparations: After returning from the service I removed to Culpeper County Virginia and settled near Elley’s Ford in said County where I resided when called into service the second term.

The second term I was drafted a soldier and called into service under General Joseph Madon of Fredericksburg and marched to Hunter’s Forge near Falmouth Virginia and on our way to said forge we crossed the Rappahannock River as far near the junction with Rapidan and soon to the forge and joined General Weddon’s regiment at said forge. This regiment or army was I understood separated into three divisions and one division was stationed on the Potomac and another stationed on the Rappahannock River below Fredericksburg, and the third division was stationed at the said forge near Falmouth on the said Rappahannock River. The British fleet was about this time lying on the Potomac waters and started an attack upon us. There were in Fredericksburg at this time several disaffected citizens who were tarred and feathered and drummed out of the Town, and several Scotch merchants closed their business in Fredericksburg and set off for home to Scotland as they said.

The third term I was drafted for

CULPEPER CURRENTS

Rendering of Revolutionary War battle. the service I hired a substitute who filled my place and was in General Lafayette’s Army when he passed on

by Elley’s Ford in Culpeper County VA by a circuitous route through Spotsylvania County and into Culpeper in order to strengthen his army, and he joined I think General Morgan’s army at the fork Church in Culpeper County, and crossed over the Rapidan River at the Raccoon ford into Orange County and so on down towards Williamsburg on the James River, and whilst passing Elley’s Ford some fifty or sixty of Lafayette’s officers and soldiers called at my house near said ford and I gave them dinner it being that time of day when the army passed. (Edward Eley recalled in a later part of his testimony that he had killed and cooked “four or five lambs” for the officers’ meal.)

A short time after this army passed another of requisition of men was called as a relief which included me and having just hired a substitute and not feeling myself able to hire if I could have obtained another substitute, I determined to fill my own place and took my horse and joined Layfayette’s army before it reached Williamsburg. I do not recollect the day or month when this term of myself or substitute commenced or ended.

The armies halted a short time at Williamsburg to receive reinforcements from the surrounding country land then marched down to York Town in Virginia and we had several little

engagements with the enemy before they were hemmed in at said town.

A council of war was held by our officers and some were in favour of storming the enemies fort then under General Wallace but General Washington was opposed to that course and recommended a siege as I was told. The enemy frequently fired upon us whilst engaged in making preparations for the siege and killed a few of our men. The militia officers were at this time employed with the soldiers getting brush and etc to make watlings required in the fortifications.

I was put among the able bodied men to throwing up bumb batteries, Washington’s grand battery having been previously finished and whilst engaged in throwing up the bumb batteries night and day we were ordered to squat in the ditch when the enemy fired upon us of which we were notified by the sentinel on guard, and Captain Welch ordered the men to hurry with the work else they would not sink deep enough to shelter them from the enemies cannon by morning, and we who were on the front works were industrious and advanced with the work and in the morning those behind wanted to crowd upon us when fired upon, but Captain Welch ordered them to keep their place as it was their fault that they were exposed, and whilst engaged on this work a cannon ball from the enemy came so near me that the wind of the ball blew my hunting shirt from the bank just

by me and another ball came and struck within three feet of us in our work. After throwing up these works I was ordered to the back where the ammunition was kept, put to scraping and cleansing the cannons and bumb bards, to assist in sending off to the Battery guns, ammunition, etc. The works at the Battery were thrown up by the militia soldiers and whilst they were cutting brush a cannon ball came bounding along on the ground and a youngster put his heel against it and was thrown into lockjaw and expired in a short time. And I recollect another circumstance which occurred near me, a ball came from the enemy, struck a man and cut off his leg at the thigh and then struck a stack of arms and rendered them unfit for service.

Edward referred to Cornwallis as “General Wallace.” The allied forces arrived at Yorktown on September 28, 1781, and the digging of the 2,000 yard trench began October 6. It was the first of two trenches that were prepared to enable the taking of the outer British defenses, positioned in small forts just outside of town. The British were vastly outnumbered, and Cornwallis was trying to hold out until re-enforcements arrived by ship from New York.

I will conclude Edward Eley’s recollections in this column next month.

Julie Bushong is the historian at the Culpeper County Library.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

A debt of gratitude to hospital staff On the 30th of August at 10 a.m. I was admitted to the Culpeper Hospital for the purpose of receiving a total left hip replacement by the legendary Dr. Benjamin Allen supported by his staff and the staff of the Culpeper Hospital.

I was released to home care on 1 September at approximately 10 a.m..

Over the years I have heard nothing but praise for the work Dr. Allen performs.

“He says only believe half of the good stuff you hear, and none of the bad stuff”. I have, on occasion, heard and read some critical comments about the Culpeper Hospital. To coin a phrase, if you are critical of the Culpeper Hospital staff in my presence, you are walking on “The fighting side of me.”

From the time of check-in to discharge approximately 48 hours later there was not one instance where criticism was warranted.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Create a new path for Virginia Veterans President Obama held a town hall on Wednesday, Sept. 28, at Fort Lee to discuss national security, foreign policy, and veterans issues that impact the military.

Sen. Bryce Reeves called on President Obama to address a new path forward for Virginia Veterans during his visit.

Below is a letter to President Obama from Sen. Reeves, regarding some of the most frequently cited issues that our veterans and military personnel encounter in Virginia. Sen. Reeves called on President Obama to create a new path forward to modernize our military capabilities in the face of growing threats, and to provide adequate leadership and funding for our veterans.

September 27, 2016 The Honorable Barack Obama The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W.

I have a 40-year background in naval aviation. The staff of Dr. Allen, without exception, reminded me of a welltrained flight deck crew on a nuclear aircraft carrier. Not one misstep, at least while I was awake. No egos or self-serving agendas. A marvel to behold. Needless to say, the operation

by Dr. Allen was flawless. I was walking with minimal assistance 14 hours after the surgery was completed.

This was after four and a half years of misdiagnoses by other medical organizations which had resulted in years of needless pain.

Every organization that is successful needs a hard charging “Straw Boss.”

The Culpeper hospital staff has one of the best I have observed. Her name is Brenda Austin. Brenda is titled as an Orthopedic Nurse Practitioner. I think that is medical jargon for “Doctor without Title.” Brenda is not only the lead instructor for the “Joint School,” she is the organizer for the entire function from initial registration until discharge, with the exception of the actual operation. “Joint School” is

designed to educate the patient on what to expect from the pending operation.

Once the operation has been performed and the patient taken to his/her room, the hospital staff kicks into operation. Twenty-four service by a dedicated nursing staff supported by a host of folks that do everything from cleaning rooms to preparing and serving meals, (best hospital food I have ever been served), they are without exception, unequalled in the medical service provision profession.

I am in the early stage of recovery and anticipate no problems in the future. Culpeper is so fortunate in having a resource such as that described herein to serve the needs of its citizens during their times of need. Folks like these, like our law enforcement personnel and fire department first responders, are overlooked until they are needed. I was in need and they responded. That response is deeply appreciated.

Administration.

As a former Army Ranger, co-chair of the Virginia General Assembly’s Military and Veteran’s Caucus, the Senate representative for the Virginia Military Advisory Council to the Governor and the reconstituted Commission on Military Installations and Defense Activities, a member of the Secure Commonwealth Panel, and a member the Board of Veterans Services, I have seen significant problems that require your immediate attention.

The VA remains dysfunctional even under new leadership. There are reports of secretaries being told to zero-out their wait time and the VA Secretary, Bob McDonald, compared the VA wait times to wait times in Disneyland.

This illustrates an astonishing lack of leadership, accountability and respect that leaves our nation’s finest, those who received injuries defending our country, with no place to go.

We have 29 military installations in Virginia that lack adequate security and operate under the perpetual threat of sequestration and base realignment closure. My colleagues in the Virginia General Assembly and I are doing everything we can on our end to fund, equip, and protect our military installations that serve not only Virginia, but the entire United States; however, being constitutionally obligated to approve a balanced budget each year, we have limited resources when it comes to allocating the funds that our military installations need and deserve.

Some of our military leaders have acknowledged that our readiness is not where they would like it to be in the case of a major crisis or attack. In Virginia, the Air Force has 12 fleets of aircraft that qualify for antique license plates according to Gen. Mark Welsh.

During your town hall on Wednesday, I sincerely hope that you address a new path forward for the Veterans Administration and actions the Department of Defense is taking to modernize our military capabilities in the face of growing threats.

I look forward to reviewing your proposals so that I can provide my constituents and fellow veterans with an update.

KEEP UP WITH THE TIMES

Coates, Aylor honored with 2016 Distinguished Leadership Awards The Rappahannock-Rapidan Regional Commission will honor two Culpeper County citizens, one posthumously, with the 2016 RRRC Distinguished Leadership Awards, to be presented on Wednesday, Oct. 12th, at the Regional Commission’s 2016 Annual Meeting. This year marks the 10th year that the Regional Commission has solicited nominations for the awards that honor one government leader and one citizen representative of the region for outstanding contributions to the Rappahannock-Rapidan region, and facilitation of enhanced communication, coordination, collaborative governance and regional planning across the region.

Mr. John Coates was selected as the 2016 Regional Distinguished Leadership Government honoree.

Mr. Coates has had a long career of service to the public in the Rappahannock-Rapidan region as both an appointed and elected official. His service includes a nearly 30-year career as a transportation engineer with the Virginia Department of Transportation, and 16 years as an elected member

of the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors with eight years as Chairman. Mr. Coates presently serves on the Rappahannock-Rapidan Regional Commission as a citizen representative from Culpeper County.

Mr. Coates’ transportation and engineering background has made him cognizant of the regional, as well as the local implications of any project or issue on the public’s agenda, and he continues to bring a cooperative and collaborative leadership style to his work.

Dr. G. Russell Aylor, Jr. was posthumously selected as the 2016 Regional Distinguished Leadership Citizen honoree. Dr. Aylor was appointed as a founding member of the Culpeper County Planning Commission in 1976, served as Planning Commission Chairman for 27 years, and served continuously to the time of his passing in 2010. Dr. Aylor’s leadership guided Culpeper County through the development of the County’s first Comprehensive Plan and subsequent revisions, a comprehensive rezoning in 1989, and periods of unprecedented growth. Dr. Aylor also sought to advance historic preservation in the region as a member of the Brandy Station Foundation and Civil War Preservation Trust, among many other interests and contributions.

The awards will be presented at the 2016 Annual Meeting of the Rappahannock-Rapidan Regional Commission on Wednesday, Oct. 12,

protected by our Constitution. The right to vote is precious and should not be considered frivolously. On May 17, 1957, the third anniversary of the Brown v. Board of Education decision by the United States Supreme Court, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. delivered his famous “Give Us the Ballot” speech at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., in which he called upon the nation to extend the right to vote to African Americans and stressed the need for the equality of all people. The right to vote was achieved during the Civil Rights Movement after a prolonged struggle and difficult

sacrifices by many Americans. The Voting Rights Act was signed into law on August 6, 1965, to protect the right to vote for everyone.

When the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control (ABC) and William Grant & Sons, owners and producers of Sailor Jerry spiced rum, started collaborating to support the Aleethia Foundation, they were very pleased with the $7,360 contribution. Five years into the partnership, the donation to the nonprofit that assists injured troops has grown to more than $10,000. From May to August, customers purchased 41,823 bottles of Sailor Jerry, a 92-proof spiced rum, resulting in $911,759 in total sales. Those transactions enabled William Grant & Sons to give $10,316 to the Aleethia Foundation in Virginia ABC’s name. In 2015, the partnership ran from February to April, resulting in $632,032 in total sales and an $8,594 donation to the foundation. Since the partnership between William Grant & Sons and Virginia ABC started in 2012, more than $50,000 has been donated to the nonprofit.

“Customers recognize the integral role the Aleethia Foundation plays in the healing of injured servicemen and women,” said Virginia ABC Chairman Jeffrey Painter. “Aligning this promotion with warmer months when customers were buying rum to use in their summer cocktails was a smart choice. I am pleased that Virginia shoppers stepped up to help us generate our largest financial contribution yet.”

In addition to providing clothing, travel expenses for family members and assistive technology devices for veterans recuperating at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., Aleethia has offered Friday Night Dinners for more than a decade. These rehabilitation therapy dinners urge injured service men and women to take a first step out of their hospital rooms and into public life together with family members and other wounded veterans. The dining out experience helps them rebuild confidence, heal and assimilate back into society. Since 2003 Aleethia has provided more than 50,000 meals to injured service members and their families.

Virginia ABC carries Sailor Jerry in five sizes. Customers may purchase the spiced rum in all 360 Virginia ABC stores.

New conservation funds available for Culpeper County ➤ Grants available to address grazing land management Contributed Report Grazing lands in Culpeper County continue to be eligible for conservation assistance funds for establishing rotational grazing fields, developing water resources (wells, springs and stream access points), re-establishing critical pollinator and songbird habitat, reforestation of critical areas and re-establishing buffer areas along waterways.

Several different funding sources are available to landowners and livestock grazers to assist with the transition to improved forage management and natural resource management. In addition, several new grants recently received by the District expand the District’s septic system cost share program to all areas of the County.

The Culpeper Soil and Water Conservation District (CSWCD) and USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) have highly skilled employees that assist owners in developing farm resource conservation plans and with navigating program opportunities.

The opportunities are many and no one is expected to be a program expert; that is one of the roles and responsibilities of the agency staff.

Agency staff sit down with owners or producers and lay out the options; both pro and con. According to District Manager, Greg Wichelns, a frank assessment of the options is one of the things his staff can bring to the table; not all programs are created equal and staff will assist applicants in understanding those options.

Although significant program signup occurred in Culpeper County the past two years under Vir-

ginia’s 100 percent reimbursement initiative for stream fencing, additional funds continue to be available. The CSWCD has just received several grants in the District to address grazing land management.

The grants offer higher than normal cost share rates for fencing and water development; 85 percent cost share and a tax credit on any out of pocket expenses. The grants also provide assistance to maintain, repair and replace septic systems that need help or updating. According to Wichelns, “The grants together have funding available for both agriculture projects and septic systems.

Now is a very good time to seriously consider that fencing project under consideration or fixing that ailing drain field that occasionally surfaces above ground. Especially for the latter, it is only a matter of time before it fails so why not sign up for the assistance while it is available.”

According the CSWCD records, they have been financing septic tank pump outs and septic system upgrades and replacements in the various areas of the five member counties for nearly 10 years. “I believe these grants have done a tremendous amount of good for the water environment in our counties, particularly groundwater quality but also surface waters. It is not too late to get in on the good thing.”

The CSWCD also has regular cost share program funding available.

“The Commonwealth continues to make huge commitments to get producers into voluntary conservation programs before any federal deadlines on Chesapeake Bay restoration arrive,” said Wichelns.

The District’s funding for projects has quadrupled this year and next as Virginia approaches significant milestone years for Chesapeake Bay cleanup. He acknowledged that 2017 is one such milestone year for healthy Bay planning.

Funds are available to help farmers with grazing management, fencing projects and ailing drain fields.

During the past two years the CSWCD has also been busy with the review and approval of many official resource management plans (RMPs), many of which occurred in Culpeper County. The RMP process which came forth from the 2011 Virginia General Assembly was designed to help producers achieve that level of implementation which meets reasonable expectations for minimizing impacts on the Bay and

other local water bodies. We expect to be reviewing even more of these plans in the future.”

“Natural resources, once diminished, don’t just get restored. It takes a lot of time," Wichelns said.

Anyone interested in exploring the many benefits of conservation planning with either the CSWCD or NRCS should contact the District at 540-825-8591 or NRCS at 540-8254200.

Catch these 'Little Foxes' CURTAIN CALLS Maggie Lawrence

“Catch us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vines, for our vines have tender grapes.”

Song of Solomon (2:15)

Lillian Hellman’s radioactive drama about the Hubbard family’s insatiable avarice hit Broadway in 1939, but was set in 1900. The turn of the previous century was regarded by many as the opening to boundless financial opportunities for those ambitious – or shifty – enough to pursue them.

Now in the creative vineyard of Arena Stage, “The Little Foxes”, under the direction of Kyle Donnelly, revives a clear sense that “those who eat the earth and those who watch them do it” are as alive today as they were a hundred and sixteen years ago.

Listed #11 in the American Theatre Critics Association’s list of the twentyfive most influential plays of the 20th century, “The Little Foxes” brings us the scheming, back-stabbing Hubbard family in all its bullet-proof glory. One word of caution: you may want to get your rabies shot before you go. These foxes are dangerous.

Alabama brothers Oscar and Leo Hubbard have grand plans to bring a Chicago cotton mill to the cotton, but don’t have money enough to complete the deal. Their sister, Regina Giddens, intends to browbeat the necessary funds out of her husband, Horace, a decent man with serious heart problems and a desire to end his life in peace.

When things are going well, they smile with the shared optimism of riches to come. When their plans begin to fail, they turn on one another with the bared teeth of hyenas over a prized carcass. Director Donnelly controls the tension like flame under a slowboiling kettle.

Structurally, “The Little Foxes” is a play of exquisite balance. We are not quite overwhelmed by the conniving and duplicity that fill the room like stale cigar smoke because we have the delicate Birdie (Isabel Keating), curing her hiccups and sorrows with alcohol, Horace (Jack Willis) honorable and tired of life, and the two servants Addie (Kim Bey) and Cal (David Toney) solid and comforting as two beacons in the night.

Even the young serpent-in-training, Leo Hubbard (Stanton Nash), though he carries out the theft ordered by his elders, is balanced by his incorruptible cousin, Alexandra Giddens (Megan Graves). That their parents imagine they could force these first cousins to marry in the interests of family

Want to go?

What: “The Little Foxes” Where: Arena Stage, 1101 Sixth St. SW, Washington, DC Call: (202) 554-9066 or visit www.arenastage.org Playing through Oct. 30 fortune is just an indication of how far they are willing to go and how unimportant other people’s lives are in their world.

At the center of this maelstrom are the three Hubbard siblings. Edward Gero, a familiar face on D.C. stages, is at his powerful best in the role of Benjamin Hubbard. Direct, menacing, and forceful, he made me glad to be sitting beyond the fourth wall. Even the wolverine-like Oscar (Gregory Linington), a soul-less creature who abuses the gentle Birdie and kills small animals for fun, submits to Ben’s ungenerous terms.

Marg Helgenberger as Regina, a sister quite the equal of her brothers, is slightly more problematic. The Emmy winner and C.S.I. star of twelve seasons has all the spitting malice one would expect of this role, but somehow lacks the black inner core of evil that her words and actions suggest. In her focus on possible riches and the likelihood of being thwarted, she is utterly vicious to her dying husband – but it is a viciousness more of the petulant and spoiled daughter than the Lady Macbeth type which this script suggests.

Mikiko Macadams’ sumptuous set

Gregory Linington as Oscar Hubbard and David Emerson Toney as Cal in Lillian Hellman’s The Little Foxes at Arena Stage at the Mead Center for American Theater. design counters the comfort of old world luxury with the ghostly image of fog and grey leafless trees surrounding the house. Aided by Nancy Schertler’s lights, the unified effect suggests the ghostly chill of an otherworldly influence.

Costumes by Jess Goldstein are handsome and accurate with the elegant lines of the early 1900s. I personally found it hard to take my eyes off the gorgeous trailing gowns of Birdie and Regina as they languished about after dinner.

“The Little Foxes” makes it clear that the country is full of Hubbards, covetous little foxes anxious to spoil the vineyards of opportunity for their own insatiable hunger, and there is an eerie familiarity in Ben’s remark that the country is “ready for people like

you and me.”

But that, too, is balanced by Birdie’s touching desire to go back (in place and time) to Lionette, the plantation of her girlhood, where “everyone was good and kind.” A wry look from Addie at this statement provides the only hint that life was not always “good and kind” to everyone.

Nevertheless, Ms. Hellman’s most famous play makes it clear which desire she saw prevailing in the world.

Seventy-seven years after its debut, “The Little Foxes” is as relevant as ever, and Arena’s production is as surehanded as it gets.

PRECIPITATION NO PROBLEM: It was a drizzly, wet afternoon last Friday but it didn’t keep folks from coming to the ribbon cutting for the debut of downtown’s E.B. Wood Community Park. Hosted by Culpeper Renaissance, Inc. speakers included CRI President Steve Miller and Jonathan Krawchuk of heads up CRI’s Design committee. Rosia Wood, wife of the late E.B. Wood, holds the ribbon following the official ceremony surrounded by her family. The park is located at 118 N. Main Street in downtown Culpeper and open to the public.

EARNING HIS EAGLE. Members of the Culpeper County Board of Supervisors paid tribute to Steven Janiszewski Tuesday evening for his Eagle Scout Project. Steven is a member of BSA Troop 550 at Verdun Adventure Bound in Rixeyville.

He chose a project that would benefit the elderly, disabled, and families of Culpeper County.

His project was to build an ADA, handicap-accessible mini-covered picnic shelter at Lenn Park. Steven is pictured here with Chairman Alexa Fritz.

Congratulations and thank you!
