FROM FRANCE TO CULPEPER I try to walk at Yowell Meadow Park every morning. Lately I have seen this young woman running. When I used to run I was pretty sure that the earth shook every time one of my feet hit the ground.

With Alice Fougere, I am pretty sure that the earth does not even know she has passed by. Her gait is very smooth and she seems to barely touch the ground. I had to get to know her and boy is she interesting. Alice is from Angouleme in France and she is here visiting friends. I find her accent very pleasant. She told me that she had just graduated from college with a degree in "Wine and Spirits." What? Yep, that is what it is. She has done some exploring of a couple of vineyards in our area. In July, she placed second in the race held in Culpeper. She is headed home soon but will be back. She was training for the Rixeyville "Come As You Are Race." By the time you read this it will be over. Anyway I really enjoy meeting people and there are some that I feel enriched from spending a bit of time with. Alice is one of those. ➤ Check out Rich’s blog at facesofculpeperva.blogspot.com and Faces of Culpeper on Facebook

Early’s Carpet celebrates 50 years in business ➤ Storewide discounts on all products through October

Lorraine Early has saved, preserved and protected countless newspaper articles and advertisements (many of which were on display Monday in a large tent rented for the occasion), ‘word of mouth’ has proved to be an effective communicator - satisfied and happy customers need only show their newly carpeted or floored rooms and it’s a future customer for Early’s.

With deep discounts running through the end of the month, many on Monday were there to order carpet or flooring. Some carried rolled up carpet runners.

Others sported rug samples that were being given away free. It was a congenial gathering of longtime friends and business associates all there to find Lorraine, give her a hug or handshake, peruse stacks of laminated newspaper clippings and photographs, eat Allen’s barbeque, Bruster’s Ice Cream and toward the end a delicious cake.

Rows of tables were set up inside the tent filled with friendly folks laughing and sharing stories. A symphony of nodding heads was apparent at times - all in concert celebrating the success of a family and their business that has seen good times and lean times but managed to weather it all to celebrate five decades of

50 years of flooring

Early’s Carpet, Inc. 14574 Lee highway Amissville, Virginia 540-937-5500 800-870-9098 Monday - Friday 9 a.m. 5 p.m.

Saturday 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. www.earlyscarpet.com service. It was a celebratory occasion.

“I’m just so proud of you and your family,” said a beaming Diane Bruce who retired in 2009 after serving as Clerk of the Court in Rappahannock County.

“We’ve carpeted two houses with you...you’re a wonderful volunteer and have a good philosophy on life.”

Lorraine’s husband of more than 50 years and business partner died in 2014. He wasn’t there to share in the anniversary but his spirit was surely present.

“He got to see it grow,” said Lorraine recalling those early years and their combined skill set. “We complemented each other,” smiled Lorraine, “it was his know how that got us started...he focused on the installing and I took care of sales and bookkeeping.”

Lorraine credits each of their respective families for launching them on their entrepreneurial path.

John’s family owned Hillcrest Dairy in Opal and Lorraine’s father did siding and landscaping. Before installing carpets in Northern Virginia, John put up houses for Roy Hill.

“He built this building,” said Lorraine, “and built houses for each of our children.”

In the early 50s, as the housing industry exploded during post-World War II, John Early was quick to observe a growing trend - that area rugs were being replaced by millions of yards of wall-to-wall carpets.

He and Lorraine took a leap of faith and decided that rather than him commuting and installing carpets in Northern Virginia that they would open their own business in Amissville.

At the time, their business model may have seemed stretched to open in a rural area miles from anywhere.

It certainly had its challenges but within a short time they were anchored.

That was 1966.

A familiar face to many in the area, Jim Rankin was there to congratulate Lorraine. Many got a chuckle as he didn’t parachute in.

Rankin, who jumped out of airplanes while serving in the military, has a commercial for his furniture store ➤ See Early's, Page 5

Culpeper Times • October 13-19, 2016 ➤ Early's, from Page 4 in Warrenton where he gently parachutes from a plane and lands comfortably on a couch in his store.

“We’re working on a couple more,” chuckled Rankin who marveled at the fact that Lorraine still has the receipt from when she purchased a vacuum cleaner from Rankin in December of 1966, the year they opened.

It’s that local connection and face on a business that no doubt has contributed to their longevity. Both John and Lorraine attended local high schools literally growing up with their future customers including bankers. Borrowing was an easier process then so their meager savings could be better leveraged.

Walking through the showroom at Early’s and visiting their extensive warehouse you’ll see lots more than carpet. Their business includes oriental and area rugs, hardwood and ceramic flooring, window treatments and a carpet cleaning service. While John Early spotted an early move toward cozy wall-towall carpets, trends tend to be cyclical with a shift now back to hardwood floors and area rugs. Early’s can help no matter your decorating

preference.

Most of their product comes out of Georgia and technicians get their training there as well.

It takes several years to hone your skills to be an expert installer, be able to dry out a home if there is extensive water damage and be an expert in the various product lines. Employees are screened well. At Early’s, it’s a career, not a job.

“We’ve had lean times,” says Lorraine with a smile, “but, we’re back to 20 employees now and I’m happy about that.”

Lorraine, who has always handled the advertising and marketing, is a stickler for having things look just the way she likes them. Much like their warehouse, she’ll pack a lot of information into her ads.

She knows that advertising is necessary because while you may have a loyal base of longtime customers there are always new clients that are learning about you for the first time.

With 50 years under her belt, Lorraine has no plans to stop. Her children and grandchildren are being trained and mentored to carry on the family flagship.

Much of the in-store work is done by her daughter Sonja who is the store manager and project scheduler.

NEWS It takes a lot of hard work to lay a carpet correctly or put down a hardwood floor. Like the frosting on a cake, it’s the finishing touch for any room. For the flooring specialists at Early’s Carpet, their expertise has taken it to an art form - one that is appreciated and supported by legions of loyal customers.

“This is the most beautiful thing,” said Sally Latham extending a warm handshake to Lorraine as she congratulated her. Her sentiment was echoed by many who huddled around Lorraine as she made her way through the crowds acknowledging all and noticeably honored and humbled that they had made the effort to come on this special occasion.

Lorraine didn’t sit down for her barbeque sandwich and dish of vanilla ice cream until nearly all had left.

She looked around and her warm smile never faded.

Fifty years is a historic milestone for any business particularly one family owned and operated. Located in Amissville, a rural town in the middle of nowhere, some might say, has had its advantages. For Early’s Carpet, it’s been a magic ride.

USINESSES TO KNOW IN & AROUND OUR COMMUNITY

Are you connected? Virginia Broadband wants to serve rural communities

By Anita Sherman STAFF WRITER

Technology has come with consequences. Making connections with your family, friends and business associates can now be done in nanoseconds provided you’ve got the tools to make that happen.

Chances are that if you live near a town, large shopping center or cosmopolitan area your cell phone can tap you instantly into the Internet or quickly make a call or send a text.

If you’re home on your computer, it’s the same and the faster your Internet speed determines how quickly you can download photos, watch videos or catch a flick on Netflix. It’s all good. That is, if you are in what is defined in the business as a ‘served class.’

Virginia Broadband’s Joe Lenig knows well the chasm of the ‘Digital Divide.’ Rural counties like those that make up much of the Piedmont Region are challenged when it comes to adequate service.

It’s the ‘unserved class’ that Lenig is most passionate about.

“We go where the big boys don’t go or have no interest in going,” said Lenig. “We want to serve that cluster of 10 homes in the middle of nowhere...our focus is on the unserved and we’d like to make a difference in their lives.”

Lenig’s wife is a teacher. She reminds him on a regular basis about the difference she sees in students that have Internet in their homes to those that do not.

“I tell her that we’re doing the best we can,” smiles Lenig who pulls up a map on his computer with a series of colored stars indicating those who have their service or would like it.

Lenig attended a recent Culpeper County Board of Supervisors meeting where he offered his company as a resource. The county was presented with a plan to address Culpeper’s gap in coverage. Lenig sees that it may well take a coordinated effort among all the counties in the Planning Nine District of which Culpeper

is a part.

As examples, there are too many families in Culpeper that end up schlepping their children to fast food places or the library so they can use the Internet for their schoolwork.

People flying into the Culpeper Airport often can’t make phone calls once they land.

As of July 2015, there are more than 1,280 fixed wireless broadband providers operating in the US covering 51 percent of the US population.

In areas - predominantly rural where you don’t have adequate cable or DSL coverage, you’ll have what is known as a WISP. Virginia Broadband is one of those, a wireless Internet service provider (WISP). You need open skies and not a lot of tall trees. At Virginia Broadband, Lenig offers a different approach to a customer’s cost only charging by usage.

“We have customers that only want to occasionally check their email or have access to Internet when their grandchildren come to

With 14 employees and five tower climbers, Lenig sees Virginia Broadband a ‘huge success story.’

➤ Winter, from Page 8 evergreen winter interest.

Palms for Virginia Landscapes The Commonwealth of Virginia spans several USDA hardiness zones, from Zone 5 in the coldest mountain areas to Zone 8 in the warmest coastal regions. Yet, within this broad range of annual average minimum temperatures, certain palms may be grown successfully.

There are thousands of species within the palm family, and three of these are known for their outstanding cold hardiness. Each of these palms is commonly reported to survive extremely cold temperatures – especially in situations where the palm has become fully established in its location. The Needle Palm (Rhapidophyllum hystrix) is the most cold-hardy palm in the world, reported to withstand temperatures well below zero.

The Chinese windmill palm (Trachycarpus fortunei), a trunking palm, and the dwarf palmetto (Sabal minor) are both hardy to the lower single digits. They may suffer some leaf burn or even defoliation, but tend to recover quickly come spring.

Virginia offers surprisingly good growing conditions for these palms, in spite of the cold winters. In fact, fossil evidence indicates that parts of Virginia were once included in the Dwarf Palmetto’s native range. The Chinese windmill palm is native to a region of China which has soil types and climate conditions that are similar to Virginia. Chinese windmill palms with trunks from 10 to 24 feet can be found in Sterling, Roanoke and other locations in Virginia.

Given a perfect microclimate, several other palm species may be considered, including Sabal Brazoria, Sabal Louisiana or Sabal Birmingham types); Livistona chinensis (Chinese fan palm); Butia capitata (Jelly or Pindo palm); and Chamaerops humilis (Mediterranean or European fan palm). With cold-hardiness ratings in the teens, they are not as reliably hardy as the Rhapidophyllum, Trachycarpus or Sabal minor, but may be worth experimentation for their contributions of color, texture and form.

Care and Culture of Palms Careful selection of the planting location will increase your success with young palms as well as other cold-hardy tropicals. Choose a site with good drainage which also provides some protection against winter’s drying winds. A position in full sun is not absolutely necessary for all palms. Check the plant’s label and resource materials for light requirements.

When selecting palms, choose a cold hardy container-grown plant

HOME & GARDEN over a field-dug specimen, as the root system may suffer less shock after transplanting. Purchase palms early in the season and plant as soon as conditions allow, generally from late March through early July. Sowing seed from a cold hardy source or planting smaller seedlings will increase the chances of success. Be sure a good cover of mulch is around the plant to mediate soil temperatures and preserve moisture.

Palms appreciate soils that are rich in manganese and magnesium, and a soil test will allow the gardener to determine if additional fertilizer is needed. Contact your local Extension office for a soil test kit and fertilizer recommendations.

Most palms are not fast growers,

and the grower’s goal is to provide conditions for good, steady growth throughout the growing season, allowing the plant foliage to harden off in the fall. Fertilizing should be done early with a well-balanced and palm-specific product if available and recommended, and no additional fertilizer should be applied after July 4, to avoid excessive growth that may be unable to harden off sufficiently for winter.

In clay soils, the addition of organic matter is often recommended.

However, the gardener should be careful not to create a clay-edged “planting pocket” of enriched soil.

This is because the plant roots may tend to stay only within this pocket and not extend beyond the pocket.

Planting pockets also create the risk of drowning a plant because puddling can occur at the bottom of the pocket, where water takes longer to drain into the clay. Gardeners should focus on enriching and digging out a wide area within the bed, paying attention to sloping the hole or building up the bed, if possible, to “create” drainage in the root zone.

The effort spent building a strong root system is a wise investment, because it can increase survival rates. As incredible as it may seem, palms are evergreen. During the winter, constant exposure to drying winds can cause damage to the fronds when the roots are unable to take up water from frozen soils or dry “planting pockets.”

Wellness Health Services wants to bring healthcare home

➤ Stay local for your health needs

By Anita L. Sherman STAFF WRITER

Getting your pilot’s license? Or perhaps you’re applying for your CDL license. Or you want to play on the high school soccer or football team. A visit to your primary care doctor may not immediately come to mind but you’ll need a physical and Wellspring Family Practice can take care of that for you.

They can also provide critical care management, wellness checks, vision screenings, or diabetes management.

You can phone in for an appointment or walk-in patients are welcome at their facility located at 633 Sunset Lane, across from the Rainbow Child Care Center.

Officially planned to open Oct. 26, they are registering patients now and this Saturday there will be a grand opening from 3-7 p.m.

At the helm is Dr. Khalid Athar who is optimistic that his brand of service will resonate in Culpeper.

Currently with one doctor and two nurse practitioners, Athar

Dr. Khalid Athar has been in Culpeper since 2007. He is head of the anesthesiology department at the Culpeper Surgery Center as well as Medical Director. Wellspring Health Services is a private venture for him. plans to recruit additional physicians soon.

“I’d like to keep patients local,” says Athar. “We find that Moms make most of the decisions when it comes to health care. If they leave the county, chances are their children are leaving with them. If they get a referral, they are leaving again.”

“We’d like to offer a reason to stay in Culpeper,” emphasized Athar for their medical needs.

Incorporating cutting edge technology into this clinic, visitors won’t see posters on the walls of the lobby or in the examining rooms. Instead, they can view or tune in to a large screen monitor offering high tech medical information.

As an example, if you are coming in to have your heart checked, you can see images of a heart, the valves and arteries connected to it.

Athar is all about educating his patients as well taking care of them.

“People talk about rehabilitation...I’d like to focus on ‘prehabilitation,” says Athar.

“If we can get to patients earlier, we have a chance to change the outcome...the earlier we get them, the less chance we’ll see them in the emergency room,” stresses Athar.

Another feature that patients will no doubt appreciate is the clinic’s in-house laboratory.

Meet Our Family Nurse Practitioners

L

isa Provance is an acute-care nurse practitioner, she is originally from Pennsylvania but now resides in Warrenton, Virginia.

She trained to be a nurse at Penn State University, received her bachelors at George Mason University and her Lisa A Provance LNPC, MSN masters from Marymount University. As a masters prepared nurse she really enjoys the responsibilities that come with being a nurse practitioner, she can care for patients in a hospital or in a out-patient setting. She can diagnose symptoms, prescribe medicines, workup issues and refer to specialists.

Her favorite part of the job is interacting with patients, working with them to diagnose and return them to good health. Lisa believes in a holistic approach to medicine, treating the emotional and spiritual issues along with the physical.

She joined the Wellspring Family Practice because of its integration of new technologies that bring a tremendous improvement to access to healthcare. She loves the fact that Wellspring offers a full spectrum of service from children to the elderly.

She has 2 children in college, has a wide range of interests from reading to kayaking. Lisa has volunteered at the Foodbank and Free Clinic as well as being on the board of Child Nutrition Incorporated.

S

tephanie is a Nurse Practitioner with a background in critical care.

Originally she is from West Virginia, but now resides in Culpeper.

She trained to be a nurse at Mountain State University in West Virginia and got her Nurse Practitioner certification at James Madison University. Her Stephanie Phillips FNP-C favorite part of the job is caring for patients and helping people with health issues that affect their quality of life. She was inspired to be a nurse by her cousin who is also a nurse and has really enjoyed her career choice. She became a nurse practitioner 3 years ago, and loves that she is now able to direct the care a patient receives.

She joined the Wellspring Health Services team because she saw that with all the new technologies that Wellspring will be implementing, the opportunity to greatly improve the quality of services in an area that has limited resources for patients.

She especially sees telemedecine as being a game changer.

That with it they have access to specialists and specialties that normally a patient would have to travel to a large city for.

Stephanie knows first hand how much new technologies can really make a difference in quality of care. She worked in a clinic in Richmond that does cutting edge hormone replacement treatments and in a VA hospital in West Virginia where they implemented a bar code system long before it became common in civilian hospitals and clinics.

Stephanie is married with 4 children and when she has the time loves taking on home improvement projects. She and her husband are hoping one day soon to go on a mission trip.

➤ Healthcare, from Page 15 Blood work can be taken quickly with results given back on the spot with no waiting for several days.

The administrative staff is working diligently to insure that a wide panacea of insurance companies will be in their books.

“We’ve very excited about this,” said the administrative manager Louise Kadlec. “It’s about quick access and availability, reducing wait times and offering patients a pleasant place to come...like a family.”

Using software that is HIPPA compliant to insure security, Dr. Athar will be leveraging the use of technology offering what’s known as telemedicine. Think of Skype on medical steroids. Once you’ve had your initial visit with the doctor, he/she can monitor your situation coming right into your home via the Internet, checking on your progress remotely if you choose, making healthcare much more user friendly.

It’s all state of the art when it comes to modern medicine but it’s also about patient care with an emphasis on prevention.

“We’re trying to offer more for the people of Culpeper...so that they don’t feel they need to leave the area to receive quality primary care,” said Athar.

As another example, if during a visit, consultation with a special-

NEWS

ist is required, that can be done via telemedicine bringing that doctor into the examining room and saving that patient a trip elsewhere.

Athar smiles as he warns people about seeking advice from Dr. Google.

“Don’t go to Dr. Google for your medical questions,” advises Athar.

“There is so much information out there but you need to know that you are getting the right information to make a good decision when it comes to your health needs.”

“We’re trying to do our part... even if you aren’t a patient...we want you to come to our website as an education resource,” says Athar who finds Culpeper a beautiful place, a safe place and a place to raise families.

In addition to the clinic, Athar has plans to open an urgent care facility the first of the year in the building that once housed Capital One Bank near Panera’s and Chick-A-Fila. It will be called Wellness Urgent Care.

Between the two locations, Athar looks to improve health care offerings in the area.

“We want to raise the bar on what people can expect from their healthcare provider,” said Athar.

“We want to bring care to you whether it’s your home, a nursing home, the hospital, or a clinic...it’s about the patient and managing their disease or preventing it.”

One of the services offered at Wellness Health Services is telemedicine. It's a way to use technology to your advantage. You can consult with your doctor or a specialist and not have to leave the comfort of your home.

What is telemedicine?

Telemedicine is the use of telecommunication and information technology to provide clinical health care from a distance. It helps eliminate distance barriers and can improve access to medical services that would often not be consistently available in distant rural communities. It is also used to save lives in critical care and emergency situations.

Although there were distant precursors to telemedicine, it is essentially a product of 20th century telecommunication and information technologies.

These technologies permit communications between patient and medical staff with both convenience and fidelity, as well as the transmission of medical, imaging and health informatics data from one site to another.

Preventing Elder Abuse

By the year 2050, the population of adults aged 65 and over in the United States is projected to be 88.5 million-more than twice the older adult population from six years ago according to the US Census Bureau.

The National Association of Area Agencies on Aging predicts the number of older adults in the Commonwealth of Virginia is also expected to increase dramatically reaching 1.8 million by 2030. A critical portion in adjusting to this demographic swing is strengthening opportunities for older adults to live secure, violence free and fully engaged within their communities.

According to the AARP survey of older adults nearly 90 percent of individuals over the age of 65 want to stay in their homes for as long as possible. Trends also show that as aging adults are living longer they are aging with rather poor health. These trends coupled with the wishes to remain in a home setting will impact the number of older adults who rely upon family caregivers. While the majority of older adults receive care by a trusted family member, The National Center on Elder Abuse indicates that the majority of elder abusers are family members.

In the Virginia Department of Aging and Rehabilitative Service Adult Protective Services (APS) FACT report they indicate a stunning 11,000 sustained reports of abuse or neglect in just one year and a 3 percent increase each year for the past decade. Twentyone percent for neglect, 10 percent involving financial exploitation, seven percent involved physical abuse, six percent involving mental abuse and two percent involved another type of exploitation and one percent involved sexual abuse.

There are many risk factors for elder abuse. It is difficult to take care of a

senior who has many different needs, and it’s difficult to be elderly when age brings with it frailties and the loss of independence. Both the demands for caregiving and the needs of the elder can create situations in which abuse is more likely to occur. The stress alone of elder care can lead to mental and physical health problems that make some caregivers burned out, impatient and more susceptible to neglecting or lashing out at the elder in their care.

Prevention is the key in providing opportunities for our aging adults to live safely, violence free. As a caregiver you can take steps if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the demands of caring for an elder. Some steps may include attending a caregiver’s support group.

The Culpeper caregiver support group meets every second Tuesday at the Culpeper County Library from 12:30 - 1:30 pm. Request help from friends, relatives, or local agencies to provide respite care. Respite care is planned or emergency care provided for an older adult with special needs in order to provide temporary relief to families so you can get a break if only for a couple hours.

If you are a concerned friend or family member you can educate yourself on warning signs of elder abuse. Some signs may be: inadequately explained bruises, welts, sores or burns, lack of food, medication or lack of basic hygiene, possibly even unexplained changes in behaviors, that is, becoming withdrawn from normal activities.

Brooke Chumley with SAFE (Services to Abused Families, Inc.) often points out the caution signs of family abuse.

She offers this advice, "Learn and be able to recognize the red flags of an abusive relationship. Please remember, you are not alone going through this, please reach out to SAFE for help. If you suspect any sort of abuse or would like a chance to learn more about the warning signs, please contact our agency at 800-825.8876.”

When dealing with financial abuse we know it is often hard to recognize.

Some signs of financial abuse could

include complaints from our aging friend or loved one that they can’t spend money the way they want, or can’t purchase items that they used to. Perhaps we notice unexpected late payments or final notices in the mail. Or even a change in the person’s appearance. Katherine S. Charapich, Esq., PLLC states, "Older adults can protect themselves and their assets through advance planning by putting in place well drafted estate planning documents such as powers of attorney and revocable trusts."

If you suspect abuse do something.

Act to protect seniors by bringing suspected abuse to the attention of the appropriate authorities. One option to report suspected abuse is to contact your local adult protective services agency. When speaking to Sarah Berry, Assistant Director of Culpeper Human Services, she had this to share.

“When I was growing up I was always told to be “mindful of my elders,” that statement rings true today. Seniors of today are active, outgoing and want to be involved. Everyone needs to be aware of their neighbors, friends, and families if there is a change in normal daily routines, drastic weight gain or lost, personal hygiene, dress, isolation, unfamiliar visitors or vehicles could be signs of abuse. Abuse could happen to anyone at any time; regardless of gender, race, or financial status. The senior population is one of our most valuable assets. They need to be shown respect and given the dignity and care they deserve. Remember, take notice of your surroundings and look out for each other as you yourself will one day be a senior.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

deputy didn’t qualify, et cetera…

I was the one female road deputy for Rappahannock County when thenMajor Jenkins served there from 2008 to 2012, and it NEVER happened.

I have remained neutral in your Facebook war with Sheriff Jenkins, with none of your alleged adverse working conditions for it, and to be clear, it was I who asked him if I could submit my letter. You have withheld your name and the names of the authors of the hearsay you post, but since you singled me out by allowing that unvetted comment to reach 28,128 people (fm. August 23 “total

reach” post), I’m not inclined to be silent any longer, either.

This isn’t the first time that you published information that I know first-hand to be false, having removed some- but leaving some, so I hope when my letter reaches the Times’ more than 37,000 readers, there is some overlap to correct your mistake this time.

Unlike you, I’m happy to sign my name to my words.

Fired up over Facebook comment To the anonymous administrator/s of the “Culpeper Deputies No Longer Silent” Facebook page: I read today (6 October 2016) that, “While [Sheriff Scott H.

Fauquier getting $47 million for data center at Vint Hill ➤ Virginia bested North Carolina to land cloud provider Contributed Report Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe announced Friday that OVH, the leading cloud provider in Europe, will invest $47 million to establish its North American headquarters and first U.S. data center in Fauquier County.

The company will install dark fiber infrastructure in an existing facility in the Vint Hill Business Park.

Virginia successfully competed against North Carolina for the project, which will create 54 new jobs in Fauquier County.

McAuliffe and other Virginia officials met with OVH leadership during a June 2015 trade and marketing mission to Europe.

“OVH’s decision to establish its North American headquarters in Virginia after meetings and discussions in Europe and Virginia further solidifies the Commonwealth’s global standing as the top player in the flourishing data center sector,” said McAuliffe.

“Thanks to our competitive IT infrastructure and skilled workforce, Fauquier County will be home to one of the most elite cloud providers in the world. OVH is a tremendous addition to the nearly 600 data processing and hosting centers in the Commonwealth, and we are proud that the company is part of our ongoing success in building a new Virginia economy,” McAuliffe said “OVH is the leading cloud provider in Europe, and we are honored the company has chosen Fauquier County as its U.S. home,” said Secretary of Commerce and Trade Todd Haymore. “This significant project is a win-win, as OVH will invest in infrastructure enhancements to the Vint Hill Business Park, opening access to the development of nearly 150 acres with increased fiber, sewer, water and electrical capacity. It is exciting to watch Virginia grow as a leader in the data center industry, which has accounted for more than 7,600 jobs and $9 billion in capital investment since 2005.”

Founded in 1999 in France, OVH has a long history of innovative technologies building its data center offerings from the processor up, leveraging technology partner-

ships with Cisco, Intel, Microsoft and VMware, among others. Today, OVH provides cloud infrastructure as a service with products including bare metal and virtual servers, networking, private cloud solutions and more. OVH operates 250,000 physical servers in 17 data centers and deploys its own fiber optic network of 7.3 Tbps bandwidth through three continents.

OVH’s unique expertise and strong offerings drive its rapid growth which leads the company to deploy new data centers and network points of presence around the world.

OVH customers range from web startups to global enterprises including Zipcar, Rogers, and Michelin.

“The U.S. is a strategic market for OVH as we grow our business, and Virginia was a natural choice for our first presence in this new market,” said OVH CEO Laurent Allard. “Fauquier County offers a unique mix of a high-end, innovative digital infrastructure combined with a business and employee-friendly environment, along with a dedicated team that greatly facilitated our move.”

The Virginia Economic Devel-

opment Partnership worked with Fauquier County to secure this project for Virginia.

Governor McAuliffe approved a $1.25 million grant from the Commonwealth’s Opportunity Fund to assist Fauquier County with the project.

The company will also be eligible to receive sales and use tax exemptions on equipment. Funding and services to support the company’s employee training activities will also be provided through the Virginia Jobs Investment Program.

Fauquier County Board of Supervisors Chairman Christopher Granger added, “The County is delighted to welcome OVH, a worldwide leader in communications technology, to join our growing business community. To support this important project, Fauquier County stepped up with a comprehensive package of tax, infrastructure and workforce development incentives. We look forward to the company’s future success here.”

“I am delighted that this center is locating in Fauquier,” said Delegate Scott Lingamfelter. “This will help our community and provide our young people with new job opportunities. It’s really great news.”

Salute to our Veterans Remember our veterans every day

By Lou Realmuto

SPECIAL TO THE CULPEPER TIMES

Far too often we are bombarded with the daily news of how bad things are around the world and the tragedies that occur throughout the cities and states within our country. As a proud American and a believer in the spirit of our country, it is stories like this one that I feel compelled to broadcast in an effort to show how some people and organizations are working without any publicity or want for recognition that they truly deserve.

I received a call from my son-inlaw asking me if I could assist him with getting help for his high school friend Kevin. Kevin is a wounded veteran who, like many others, had fallen on hard times and had been facing many challenges both physically and financially. The local power company had shut off his electricity, his landlord had served him an eviction notice and his car was unable to be repaired. Friends

were trying to raise money to help get him through these challenges and knowing my involvement in Cruisin For Heroes and how our group supports our military he asked if there was anything I could do or if I could direct him on how to proceed.

My first thought was to reach out to my friend “Mac,” the president of a local chapter of Rolling Thunder.

This group does more for veterans than most people realize both with financial support and connecting veterans with various charities and organizations that can provide them with help. We, Cruisin For Heroes, made this connection with Rolling Thunder in an effort to collaborate with them on projects that would help both our groups.

Mac sent me a list of contacts at Rolling Thunder Chapters in New Jersey where Kevin lives and suggested he contact them directly for assistance. I also followed up with a letter to the president of the nearest chapter to Kevin’s location.

Kevin’s situation was getting criti-

cal and time was running out so I reached out to Mac again and he suggested we also contact the National New Jersey Rolling Thunder Chapter and he supplied the appropriate contacts.

Within days Kevin made contact with the National Chapter and their response was amazing and immediate with both financial help that would allow him not to be evicted and connected him with assistance and support to address his other challenges. In addition, my son-in- law was able to get a used car donated to Kevin.

So this is one short story with a happy ending for a military hero who had fallen on hard times. It is also a story that shows the great work people like Mac and a group like Rolling Thunder is doing which goes unrecognized every day. It also

shows that we all can do more and make a difference in the lives of our service men and women who have sacrificed for us and our country.

There are far too many out there that are in need of help.

I hope you are encouraged as much as I am with this “good news” story versus what we hear every day on our national and local news.

I also hope that you look for opportunities to make a difference in your area for a veteran who may be in need of help.

Please, remember our veterans every day and never forget our heroes.

The Culpeper Times has featured dozens of veterans since starting our Salute to Veterans page. In this issue we thank Dr. Thomas Neviaser, Dr. Miles Press and Dr. David ‘Doc’ Snyder for their service.

The Culpeper Times will feature Salute to Our Veterans once a month. If you know of a particular veteran program or event that you’d like to see listed, let us know. We’re particularly keen on featuring four living veterans each time we feature this page. If you are a veteran or know of one, please send photo, name, branch of service, rank, years of service and highlights to Editor Anita Sherman at anita@culpepertimes.com.

October 13, 1775-- Today marks the 241st birthday of the United States Navy.

On this day, the Continental Congress authorized the equipping of two ships, armed with ten small guns, as well as swivel guns, and manned by crews of eighty officers, sailors, and Marines, sending them on a mission to intercept transports carrying munitions and stores to the British army in America. Over the course of the War of Independence, the Continental Navy sent to sea more than fifty armed ships and seized enemy supplies and carried correspondence and diplomats to Europe, returning with needed munitions. They took nearly 200 British vessels as prizes, some off the British Isles themselves, contributing to the demoralization of the enemy and forcing the British to divert warships to protect convoys and trade routes. In addition, the navy provoked diplomatic crises that helped bring France into the war against Great Britain.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR US NAVY!

October is National Farm to School Month Chef Ann Foundation is excited to be celebrating National Farm to School Month this October, paying homage to the hard work and dedication of food service professionals, farmers and educators across the country who are connecting their communities with with fresh, healthy and local food.

As an organization that also works to spearhead school food reform and transition our nation’s schools to scratch cooking with fresh ingredients, it’s inspiring and invigorating to see how the farm to school movement has exploded over the past decade.

At its core, farm to school is teaching our kids the importance of REAL food. Food that is grown from the earth, not manufactured in a laboratory. Food with names that you can pronounce, food that’s colorful, nutrient dense and delicious. The kind of food that provides the healthy fuel their minds need to learn and their bodies need to grow. The farm to school movement is helping to make real school food a national priority, which is a cause very near and dear to our hearts.

In fact, we’ve launched our own awareness campaign with the same goal in mind:#RealSchoolFood. This month, we are calling on celebrities, chefs, farmers, schools, good food advocates and parents nationwide to bring attention to one key issue: our children deserve and desperately need REAL, unprocessed, healthy school food every day.

Why? Because childhood obesity and diet-related disease are crippling their futures. In America, one out of every three kids is overweight or obese, and at-risk for Type 2 Diabetes.

This generation of children is predicted to have shorter life expectancies than their parents, primarily due to their diets. To make matters worse, many schools across the country are serving highly processed, heat-and-serve meals that reinforce the bad eating habits and food trends that have helped contribute to this crisis.

Ensuring kids have access to healthy, fresh school food is a crucial part of the solution. More than 30 million children eat school lunch every day, and over 70% (22 million) of these kids come from impoverished households. The eating habits and food values they learn in childhood will follow them for the rest of their lives. So for now, while our kids are still young, and we’re still filling their lunch trays, we have an opportunity to

shape the future.

We need to help schools move away from the highly processed, heat-and-serve food trend and work with them to serve scratch cooked food made with fresh, locally procured ingredients. Instead of treating our Mexican RestauRant children for diet-related diseases, we can make sure their diets prevent these illnesses from ever taking hold.

Because when we make sure that our children’s meals are cooked with you know that the Frenchman’s now the carries French pastries? real food, instead of foodDid additives Did you Corner know that Frenchman’s and chemicals, we set them up for a Corner now carries French pastries?
