Culpeper Times • November 10-16, 2016 ELECTION DAY

Brat wins district Congressman Dave Brat (R7) secured another term as the representative for Virginia’s 7th District winning over his challenger Democrat Eileen Bedell. Brat took 217,679 (57.72 percent) to Bedell 158,717 (42.09 percent).

Brat issued a statement regarding the lame-duck Congress.

Congress returns to Washington next week in what is called a lame-duck session. Why is it called that? Because like a lame duck, Congress cannot walk or think straight in a session that is dominated by politics and getting out of town. Ultimately, a lame-duck session is bad news for Americans.

Here's why...

Some members of Congress who will be voting on spending bills will not be returning to Congress next year. This can be because they are retiring, lost their re-election bids, or simply because they are looking to do something different. It's likely they will vote on a massive spending increase that allows them to say "yes" to everything, but passes a tremendous burden of debt onto the next generation.

In order to fund the government, Congress will abandon regular order and pass what is called an "omnibus."

When Congress departs from regular order, a small number of people will sit at the table alongside President Obama to determine what Americans will be left with before he leaves office to determine the entire budget of the United States. Five people. Of course, the elites know this. That is why funding for most government programs are orchestrated to expire in December.

In yet another example of Washington elites ignoring American priorities, the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) may also receive a vote on the House Floor during the lame-duck. This so-called "free trade" agreement is anything but free. You can read my op-ed in the Washington Examiner about the TPP and why it doesn't represent the priorities of hard-working Americans.

President Obama also knows he has less than three months to make his mark on the United States. Between executive orders and federal agencies creating tens of thousands of pages of rules and regulations, the executive branch continues to circumvent Congress in order to implement their agenda. I expect the executive branch to continue this trend before the next

Davis St. It is owned by Felicia Chavez who has retired (more like shifted jobs) to Culpeper having completed 30 years with the Red Cross serving tours in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as many other places. She is assisted by her husband, Keith who is also retired (again just shifted jobs) after 24 years in Army Intelligence, with two tours in Iraq and also fighting in Desert Storm. Keith is a member of the Culpeper Town Council. There is so much more about their lives, but but let's talk about what brought us here. Felicia has a passion for bees and preserving them through education and everything in the store reflects that. They feature local honey, bee-centric housewares and an observation hive which is very cool. On the second floor is a glass enclosed beehive.

The final results are in. After an awkward adjustment period, the Kettle Run Cougars found their stride and their mojo.

Despite finishing a disappointing 3-7 after Friday's 35-7 loss to Eastern View, first year coach Charlie Porterfield called his team's final five games a success as they went 3-2 after an 0-5 start.

Powerful Eastern View (10-0) built a 14-0 first quarter lead and 21-0 halftime edge in easily handling Kettle Run in Culpeper. The Cougars scored a mild moral victory by adding a very late TD on Andrew Pickett's 7-yard run to avoid a shutout.

“If you’d have asked me in February I would have said that we could be 9-1 or 1-9,” Porterfield said. “I just hadn’t been around that long. To come back after going 3-7 last year and then losing the first five games this year and to finish 3-2 is something special."

After going 0-5 the guys said "We’re going to fix this,’'' said Porterfield. "We were caught a little by the injury bug this year and I would have liked to see some higher numbers in some areas. The things we did to fix the bad start were advocated by me, but they were put into action, mostly by the seniors. We have a team of leaders and we gave ourselves a chance. We’re going in the right direction for next year.”

Using big offensive plays and a stingy defense, the undefeated Cyclones claimed the Evergreen District title with the first 10-0 season in the school's ninth season.

The Cyclones will play in the first round of the Class 4A East Region playoffs Friday in Culpeper.

Eastern View's first score came on a 67yard pass from senior quarterback Eddie Russell to junior wide receiver Zach Thomas after defensive back Logan Jenkins

picked off Kettle Run’s junior quarterback Casen Chumley just three minutes into the game.

It was the first of four picks Chumley threw on the night.

Six minutes later the Cyclones scored again as Russell connected with Thomas on a 38-yard TD connection. Senior Jeremiah Walker added another PAT and it was 14-0 Cyclones.

Eastern View led 21-0 at the half after D’Ago Hunter took a screen pass from Russell, made some moves and outran the pursuing Cougars down the sideline for a 79-yard score.

Kettle Run tried a squib kick to open the third quarter, but the Cyclones pounced on it.

Midway through the quarter Russell hit Hunter on a 34-yard pass with Hunter making a diving catch and holding on to the ball in the end zone. The extra point attempt was blocked as EVHS led 27-0 lead.

Chumley and Anders Isaksen connected on a 28-yard pass play on the next Kettle Run series, but the Cougars couldn’t maintain the momentum and had to punt.

The third quarter ended with Tyler Fletcher intercepting Chumley and then Pollard returning the favor against Russell two plays later.

"I didn’t have a very good game,” said a glum Chumley, a junior, outside the locker room after the game. "But I’m proud of the way we finished the season and stayed strong. We have some good players coming up and some good ones returning so we should be a good team next year.

“It felt really good to at least knock them out of a shutout, to put some points on the board. They connected on some big plays and made some good passes.”

The Cyclones scored their final points ➤ See Cyclones, Page 5

Culpeper Times • November 10-16, 2016

➤ Cyclones, from Page 4 after intercepting Chumley again and engineering a six-play, 29-yard drive with Pollard taking it in from the five yard line and then also scoring on the two-point conversion to make it 35-0.

The 35-point lead with just under six minutes remaining, triggered a running clock for the rest of the game. The clock did not stop on incomplete passes or out-of-bounds plays.

It was at this point in the game that Kettle Run dug deep and used a face mask penalty against the Cyclones, a 26-yard run by sophomore Cade Campbell and a mixture of short runs and passes to finally score from the 7-yard-line, Andrew Pickett taking it across with just over 30 seconds left in the game. Senior Skylar Farrell added the PAT making the final

score 35-7.

“We knew how good Eastern View was,” Porterfield said. “We saw the film and tonight we saw it in person. To do what they do each week is the mark of a great program. They have been the team to beat in this conference for a long time.

“When I was at Patriot, it was always Hylton. But as (former pro wrestler) Ric Flair said, ‘To be the man you’ve got to beat the man.’

They executed their gameplan to perfection. They’re great at what they do and they make big plays. We wanted to keep it close, but when you have penalties and turnovers like we did tonight, against a team like Eastern View that’s a remedy for disaster.”

EVHS coach Greg Hatfield, a former Fauquier High School head coach, has guided the EVHA program since it began. He

NEWS was quickly surrounded by his team as the group received its trophy and posed for pictures.

“I’m proud of the kids,” Hatfield said. “This is a special opportunity for them.”

Kettle Run was missing two key players in tight end Max Delsignore, a junior, who Porterfield said was injured last week and running back Alex Smith who, said Porterfield was “dealing with some personal issues. I was especially pleased with Anders Isaksen, Carter Frye and Jack Linton. They were all going both ways and they stepped up and made some big plays” Although disappointed, Porterfield displayed a positive attitude that has become his trademark.

“One of our goals was to deny them their sixth shutout,” Porterfield said.

“When you hear about five shutouts in nine games

at the high school level, that’s a no-joke stat. When we scored that late in the game, that showed me a lot about the pride and character of our guys.

“This senior class is unbelievable (The Cougars graduate 19). They have had three coaches in three years and to buy into our system and play each game until it’s over showed me the kind of people they are. I told all the guys to remember what the game gave you. In time the pain of the losses will fade, but you’ll always remember the team meetings, the practices, the bus rides, the pregame… We’re losing a good group, but we have a good crew of sophomores coming

up.“ Porterfield said he was fortunate to have a senior class that set an example in both words and actions.

“Those guys showed the younger guys that they should be proud to play football at Kettle Run,” he said. “They taught them the mentality, the mottos, the attitudes and the work ethic. I didn’t have to say much, because the seniors taught the others the way we want to do things here.

I was lucky as a first-year coach to get guys as good as these guys. They could have laid down and given up after that terrible start to the season and being down 35-0 tonight, but they didn’t.”

Bias-free policing on the agenda for Culpeper officers ➤ Body worn cameras a coming attraction

By Anita L. Sherman STAFF WRITER

A 67-year man is sitting in a fast food restaurant. Two police officers enter and find themselves chatting with the gentleman. Both assume that he is harmless and not a threat.

The conversation continues but then he pulls a gun and shoots one of the officers.

This isn’t a made up story but a scene that played out not that long ago in Maryland.

Their reaction is very typical. For most of us, we don’t associate older citizens as a threat. But, in this case, they were in harm’s way.

The Culpeper Town Police Department is currently undergoing, what is known as ‘fair and impartial policing.’ They are following a trend nationwide for law enforcement groups.

Lt. Jeff Dodson and Lt. Lee Rees have participated in this training ➤ See Police, Page 8

Lt. Jeff Dodson, Community Policing Operations, believes that all will benefit from current training which will include the use of body worn cameras that is scheduled to be fully in effect by Nov. 18.

➤ Police, from Page 7 and both came away enriched and excited about the challenge of sharing this with their fellow officers.

“We all have bias,” said Dodson, “for most of us, we grow up with attitudes that we’ve had from families, schools, and the workplace...it’s just part of who we are and it affects our decisions.”

“The more we are aware of how that affects us, the better off we will be,” continued Dodson who is optimistic that this training will help officers particularly as they take on an added tool - body worn cameras.

Dodson shared that by Nov. 18 some 32 officers will be sporting the technology which will record interactions between officers and the public.

The department has developed specific policies regarding the use of the cameras which can be turned off and on by the officers. There may be some situations when recording an incident isn’t appropriate.

Ultimately the body cameras will be synced with cameras in their vehicles.

“This is just another piece of the puzzle,” says Dodson, “to make us better...it’s all about serving the community.”

Several public forums have been held, and well attended, to introduce this new addition to the officer’s uniform. ‘“It’s been very good so far,” said Captain Chris Settle. “We received

NEWS

some very good feedback and questions.”

“We’ve researched this a long time,” added Lt. Rees. “We’ve looked at other police departments and best options for us. It’s new technology and it will be new for the officers now but we hope that it will make a positive difference for the community in the long run.”

What is fair and impartial policing?

The “fair and impartial policing perspective” reflects a new way of thinking about the issue of biased policing. It is based on the science of bias, which tells us that biased policing is not, as some contend, due to widespread racism in policing. In fact, the science tells that even wellintentioned humans (and thus, officers) manifest biases that can impact on their perceptions and behavior.

These biases can manifest below consciousness.

Social psychologists have shown that “implicit” or “unconscious” bias can impact what people perceive and do, even in people who consciously hold non-prejudiced attitudes. Implicit bias might lead the line officer to automatically perceive crime in the making when she observes two young Hispanic males driving in an all-Caucasian neighborhood or lead an officer to be “under-vigilant” with a female subject because he associates crime and violence with males.

It may manifest among agency com-

Culpeper Times • November 10-16, 2016

mand staff who decide (without crime-relevant evidence) that the forthcoming gathering of AfricanAmerican college students bodes trouble, whereas the forthcoming gathering of white undergraduates does not.

The implication of the science is that even the best law enforcement officers may manifest bias because they are human, and even the best agencies, because they hire humans, must be proactive in producing fair and impartial policing. Agencies (at least those that hire humans) need to implement what is called a “comprehensive program to produce fair and impartial policing.” This program addresses the ill-intentioned police who produce biased policing and the overwhelming number of well-intentioned police in this country who aspire to fair and impartial policing, but who are human like the rest of us. Elements of this comprehensive program encompass (a) recruitment/ hiring; (b) agency policy; (c) training; (d) leadership supervision and accountability; (e) assessing institutional practices and policies; (f) outreach to diverse communities; and (g) measurement.

The training element of the comprehensive program is critical for changing the way we think about biased policing in this country and preventing its occurrence. While training cannot easily undo the implicit associations that took a lifetime to develop, the social psychologists have

shown that, with information and motivation, people can implement controlled (unbiased) behavioral responses that override automatic (biased) associations. The implication is that law enforcement departments need to provide training that makes personnel aware of their unconscious biases so that they are able and motivated to activate controlled responses to counteract them.

The FIP perspective has been placed into five training programs.

There is a 1.5-day command level (or command and community stakeholder) training. With COPS Office funds, curriculums for recruits/patrol officers (6 hours) and for first-line supervisors (5 hours) have been developed. There is a train-the-trainer session during which trainers learn to implement the recruit/patrol and supervisor curriculums in their own agencies/academies.

The FIP perspective conveys more accurately how bias might manifest in policing. And the further great news about the FIP perspective is that it reduces (the very understandable) police defensiveness around this issue and is embraced by community members who are concerned about biased policing. Both of these impacts are critical for producing change in jurisdictions—change that can be produced jointly by police and the members of the communities they serve.

NEWS

Culpeper Times • November 10-16, 2016

Germanna Community College facing possible cuts This message was sent by Germanna Community College President David A. Sam last week to faulty and staff regarding the news about the possible cut to Virginia higher education funding: Colleagues: As you know, we have been asked by the Governor to prepare a plan for a 7.5 percent cut to our appropriation for July 2017. If enacted, this would be the largest cut we have faced in my time at Germanna and will require significant scale back of programs and services. I must emphasize that this is a plan at this point. The Assembly will decide on a revised budget when it meets in early 2017 and only then will we know the real extent of the cuts. But we will plan for the worst.

Another factor exacerbating our situation is the continued decline in enrollment. The good news is that our efforts to improve student success have resulted in increased retention and graduation, which should help our enrollment over the long term. But we must assume further declines next year and prepare for them even as we work hard

for that decline to reverse.

Therefore, and effective immediately: 1. There is a hiring freeze on all new and replacement positions except those that are funded by grants and/or local government contributions. Those already approved and in the hiring process may continue although please consider carefully whether you can halt any. I will make a few exceptions to the freeze after due consideration of nature of the position.

The freeze is only applicable to regular state funded positions, not those funded via grants.

2. All out-of-state travel is curtailed except for that already approved and paid for. There will be a very few exceptions made for critical college needs such as accreditation. The restriction of travel and food is to capture those unused funds to pay forward for FY18 costs, so we will be reviewing this year’s budget (FY 17) to capture funds previously approved for out of state travel and food.

3. All in-state travel should be reduced when possible but may continue with the following provisos:

a. Carpooling is required when more than one employee is attending. b. Sharing of hotel rooms is required where possible for overnight trips. c. The numbers of employees attending should be reduced where possible.

4. All Germanna funded meals and snacks for employee meetings are eliminated with a handful of exceptions. Please plan lunch breaks for long meetings and/or scale back meetings.

Administration has already begun and will continue developing the plan and various alternatives and scenarios. I look forward to your ideas. Some things that seem obvious to cut are not possible: - Much of the nonpersonnel budget such as utilities cannot be cut due to legal, safety or practical requirements.

- The expanded Stafford Center is being funded by local governmental and private monies totaling $350,000 a year. These monies may not be used for anything else and would go away if not used. No new staff will be hired but existing staff reassigned.

- The new Fredericksburg Center for Advanced Technology is similarly funded by City monies that cannot be used elsewhere. Again, no new staff will be hired unless grant-funded.

We hope new revenues and enrollment result from the expanded centers and our other efforts, but we will plan for little or no growth to be safe. Should growth occur, new staff can be hired or existing cuts reevaluated during FY 2018. I will update you regularly by email and at College Council meetings and open forums throughout this academic year.

Together we have been through many crises over the last 10 years and I am confident we can more than survive this one. It is very serious, but I know your dedication to our mission as I have seen in action every day. We will do all we can to reduce the harm to our students so we may continue to serve them and our communities.

Thank you for all that you do and for your constant dedication to students no matter the challenges we face together.

David

COURTESY ILLUSTRATION

The American Revolutionary War lasted from 1775 to 1783. The American soldiers faced many disadvantages against their British counterparts.

The following is the continuation of Edward Eley’s account of his experience at the siege of Yorktown in October 1781. After participating in the construction of the allied trench, Edward was put to duty at the gun battery: After serving at the Park I was ordered to the works.

The works were thrown up by the Militia soldiers. The Continentals at this time were encamped about a mile off towards Williamsburg. I frequently saw General Washington riding around and directing the operations and after the siege began my place was at the guns in the battery called Washington’s grand battery. There was in this battery four twenty-four pounders, four eighteen pounders, four twelve pounders and twelve mortar pieces and these were fired in platforms four at a time and the mortars three at a time making four rounds of mortars in order to keep up a constant fire, and whilst firing the elevator of the guns got in a violent passion because the men in assistance dodged when fired upon by the enemy from their port holes, and produced a considerable confusion and General Clinton coming up just at that moment put things to rights & I remarked to the men in his housing come my brave fellows stick to your posts and the day will soon be ours, and for this remark I was very soon rewarded with a good breakfast from the General which was very acceptable as I had not had a meal for 24 hours, and I never saw men more mortified than were those serving with me at the guns when I received the reward.

Shortly after the siege began 33 of the enemy deserted and came around

in a boat about midnight and joined us and General Clinton gave them a pass to General Washington and whilst engaged in firing the guns it appeared to me as if the earth would sink beneath us.

I continued in this service until within a few days of Wallace’s surrender. My wife having hired a man and sent him down to take my place & so I put the man in and took my horse sent for me and set for home immediately and before I reached Fredericksburg on my way home I understood that Wallace had surrendered. Before I left the service I saw a number of dead horses on the beach which the enemy had drowned. I served myself in this term two months myself besides my substitute who served three months and paid him to his satisfaction, the amount paid I do not recollect, and my substitute who relieved me from the said siege continued in the service and guarded the prisoners from the siege over the mountains to Winchester, and then returned and I paid him a suit of good new clothes, a blanket, a knapsack, & a thousand dollars in continental paper and 30 silver dollars the price previously agreed upon by my wife.

The bombardment of the British forces lasted from October 9th to October 17th, and the formal surrender took place on October 19, 1781.

The General Clinton spoken of by Edward was George Clinton, then governor of New York. Clinton would be the vice-president under both Thomas Jefferson and James Madison.

To return home, Edward likely traveled via the portion of the King’s Highway that led from Yorktown to

Williamsburg, then continued north to Fredericksburg.

About 10 years after the war ended, Edward Eley began a career as a Baptist minister. He and his wife, (her name I could not discover,) raised two sons.

Edward lived to be at least 99 years old.

When he applied for his Revolutionary pension in 1846 at the age of 95, he was again living in Spotsylvania County.

Several of his neighbors signed a petition in support of his claim. Among the paperwork was this letter by Daniel F. Slaughter: Germanna Apr 7th My Dear Sir: I saw in circulation a few days past a paper signed by many of your neighbors testifying to the uprightness of your private character and their confidence in the truth and accuracy of your statements touching your Revolutionary service.

I at once – myself the son of a soldier of that holy cause – determined to write a letter to your representative in Congress – an old friend – and add mine - to the other testimony of your merits. Next in honor to the services of such men in such a cause is the gratitude of that posterity – who owe all that they have – or can ever expect to have – to you and your associates in the best and holiest enterprise that ever armed a nation. To such men – and to that Providence which led and guarded them, we their children are indebted for all the prosperity as a people – or a nation – we have ever enjoyed. May the evening of your days be as serene – and happy - as the morning and the noon were useful.

With my best wishes for all this.

I am your friend D F Slaughter Julie Bushong is the historian at the Culpeper County Library.

Rocking, rocking in Death Valley

WILD IDEAS Pam Owen

While I was a huge rock hound at around age six, my interest in geology drifted away as I returned to my first love in nature, wildlife.

That said, it’s hard not to be impressed by the geology at Death Valley National

Park.

As I wrote in a recent column early in October I camped with my brother, Dana, and his wife, Joyce, at Death Valley, in the Mojave Desert of California. Temperatures were high for that time of year, especially where we camped, which was appropriately named Furnace Creek.

The other impressive feature of the park is its geology. The formations of rock that spell out the geologic history of this area are on full display there, with little vegetation in the way — from jagged peaks to shear cliffs showing layers

of uplift and volcanic action over millennia, a golden canyon, pale mounds of borate minerals and salt and sand dunes. There are even boulders that mysteriously move around on the valley floor at what is called the Racetrack (tinyurl.com/ wi-racetrack).

Dana met me in Las Vegas, where I had flown in, and during the almost three-hour drive back to the park, he talked about why he and Joyce were surprised to find, over several visits, that the park was one of their favorite spots to camp. The quiet and the rugged geologic features were among their reasons, and I saw some of the latter when we stopped at Dante’s Peak, in the Black Mountains. It offers a spectacular view of the famous Badwater salt flats below and the Panamint Mountains beyond them.

The park was definitely quiet . . . and dry — very, very dry — and hot. While I was there, the park was experiencing unseasonably high temperatures, in the upper 90s most days and topping out at 105 at Furnace Creek the day before I

According to the park’s website, Death Valley is the “hottest, driest, and lowest national park” in the United States.

The heat and the fact that I’d badly sprained my foot and ankle in a cat-wrangling accident the week before I arrived meant that I couldn’t do even the limited hiking we had planned to do. Instead of hiking, we toured the park using Dana and Joyce’s Eurovan camper and a rented Jeep.

The day after I arrived, my brother took me on the first tour, of Artist Drive, a dirt road that climbs to the top of an alluvial fan at the end of a deep canyon cut into the Black Mountains. An alluvial fan is “a more or less stratified deposit

of gravel, sand, silt, clay, or other debris, moved by streams from higher to lower ground,” according to the U.S. Geological Service (geomaps.wr.usgs.gov/parks/deva/ ftart1.html). The term “alluvial fan” came up frequently during the trip, perhaps because, in that mostly bare landscape, it was easy to see this geological feature everywhere.

Photographing Death Valley

In the middle of the day, with the sun at its zenith, Death Valley’s landscapes looked hot, bleak and two-dimensional. But closer to dawn and dusk, the more-oblique light gave the park’s spectacular mountains, alluvial fans and valleys definition, and deepened their color.

To really do right by Death Valley as a photographer, I would have had to study the light at different times of day, waiting and taking photos of a particular place when the light was most dramatic and best defined the geologic features. However, as this was a vacation and not a photo expedition, I just shot what appealed to me, in the best light available at the time.

Beyond the light, the omnipresent contrails — vapor trails made by the many military and commercial jets that fly over the area — presented one of the biggest photographic challenges. The skies were generally deep blue because of the lack of pollution and moisture in them, but that made the contrails even more obvious. The only option I saw was to try to incorporate them into landscape shots as artistic elements, although they often didn’t cooperate.

Prepare for winter

The tour of Artist Drive was short but offered some lovely views.

Another outing in Death Valley, to Titus Canyon, offered more spectacular views of its geology and a few cliff-hanging thrills. Look for more about that in an upcoming column. © 2016 Pam Owen

K&M EQUIPMENT

As the mowing season wraps up, now is the time to have your lawn equipment serviced before it is stored for the winter.

Regular servicing of your lawn and garden equipment is an important factor in maintaining productivity. From November 1 – February 28, K&M

Sharon Hitt

Lawn, Garden & Arborist Supplies, 16033 Ira Hoffman Lane, Culpeper, Virginia (540)825-8371, is offering a Winter Service Special on their 16-point checkup. K&M’s 16-point checkup is much more than just an oil change.

It includes cleaning or replacing the air filter, fuel filter, plugs, and hydro filter, as well as checking all belts, sharpening the blades, lubing the unit and cables, adjusting brakes, repairing tires, honing deck performance, and cleaning the battery terminals.

In addition, K&M has procured

non-ethanol, mid-grade fuel to install in your mower’s tank. This nonblended gasoline prevents the damage and corrosion that ethanol fuels can cause to small, outdoor engines.

When ethanol (a component of most gas station fuels) sits in the carburetor, it eats fuel lines and deteriorates carburetors.

An investment in ethanol-free fuel is worth it in the long run to prevent repairs and down time. By preparing your mower for storage now, you will be assured of an easy start-up next Spring.

Just Dessert On the subject of sugar, many people fall into Jim Hollingshead entirely polarized camps.

Some only drink sweet wine, while others(myself included) prefer their glass to be as dry as a bone.

There are times, however, when these two camps should be brought together. Those with a sweet tooth can embrace the complexities of acidity and texture that they shy away from, and we dry-wine scrooges can enjoy that bit of sugary bliss. That moment of reconciliation is dessert.

While I don’t often foray into the wild world of dessert wine, it does tend to fascinate me. These are not your regular grapes. They have been abused, abandoned, left to rot and freeze.

While other grapes are gathered into the welcoming warmth of the winery, these have been left to wail and gnash their teeth. And yet these poor wretches take their betrayal in stride and become some of the most stunningly complex poetry ever poured from a bottle.

The earliest of these legendary wines is believed to have originated in Hungary in the 17th Century.

The stories tell of vineyards left unharvested during wartime, allowing the grapes to become overripe and covered in a gray mold. By the time they were finally harvested, this ‘noble rot’ had sucked the water from the berries, leaving them shrivelled raisins. What little juice could be saved was intensely concentrated, and so viscous that it was almost like honey. The wine produced was in turn rich, sweet, and powerful; so much so that the late harvest was repeated time and time again, making Tokaj, Hungary unique in the world of vines.

Today, that same Botrytis(as the Noble Rot is named) is far more famous in Sauternes, France.

Chateau d’Yquem is the most revered dessert wine in the world, but I have actually come to prefer the forgotten runner-up Chateau Guiraud. A bit less sweetness, and a bit more nutty tapioca makes Guiraud a sharp contrast to the satiny honeycomb of Yquem.

Should you be offered a taste of either, however, accept it without hesitation!

Rather than letting rot take their grapes, the Germans tend to run down another path.

Most of their Riesling is harvested as usual, referred to as ‘Kabinett,’ or table wine. Many of the grapes, however, are left later

THE WINE NERD

and later. The second harvest, a week or two later, is called ‘Spätlese,’ and brings in overripe grapes with higher Brix(sugar). Later still is ‘Auslese,’ followed by ‘Beerenauslese,’ each richer and sweeter than the last.

The highest level of late harvest is the fabled Eiswein, or Ice Wine.

These grapes were left on the vine so long that they froze in the chills of January or even February. They are harvested in the middle of the coldest night of the year and pressed into wine immediately. What little water is left in the dried-out raisins has frozen into ice crystals, leaving Mexican RestauRant only the entirely dehydrated juice for the wine. It takes the powerful acidity of Riesling to stand up to the impressive sugars, often creating a ballet of sweetness and tartness battling for control of your palate.

The Culpeper Times congratulates the Chamber 2016 Award Recipients

PHOTOS BY IAN CHINI

The evening’s highest award, the L.B. Henretty Memorial Outstanding Citizen of the Year went to Norma Dunwoody. Clearly surprised and joyous, Dunwoody remarked that for the past 35 years she has been in “awe” of past recipients of this recognition. She fully acknowledged that she is surrounded by “unbelievable staff.” She is encouraged and inspired about the possibilities and all that can be done for Culpeper.

The Chairman’s Award went to former Chamber President Debbie Stohlman who was totally taken by surprise, humbled, honored, happy to be retired and even more delighted to have served a county near and dear to her heart.

Entrepreneur of the Year went to Rebecca Elsen at pranapiloga.

Soon to expand, pranapiloga offers wellness alternatives for the body and mind.

Virginia “Ginny” Koontz was all smiles when her name was announced as the 2016 Young Professional of the Year. “This is a huge honor for me,” said Koontz who praised the community for being very driven, gifted and giving. “We need to continue to give back to each other.”

The Culpeper Chamber of Commerce held their 102nd annual meeting and awards banquet last Thursday evening at Germanna’s Daniel Technology Center to a packed house. The tables were full as hundreds of local businesses and their guests came to celebrate the Chamber’s new president Sandy Boone, honor the former president Debbie Stohlman, recognize new and retiring board members, share the uplifting and inspiring story of Dr. Hortense Hinton-Jackson, feast on culinary goodies provided

by Shawn’s Smokehouse BBQ and Catering Company, be entertained

by Rappahannock Goodwill Industries Marty Bywaters-Baldwin and Young Life Will Orr and anxiously await the announcement of this year’s award winners. Sixty-four nominations were received covering six categories. It was quite a night.

Culpeper County is blessed to have many outstanding community leaders.

It is always a privilege and pleasure to share their successes.

From a group of 10, the Non-Profit of the Year went to Healthy Culpeper.

Director Denise Walker praised the community for the networking support that contributes to their success.

Abel Heating and Air took home the 2016 Small Business of the Year Award.

Owners Greg and Catherine Venable thanked their employees for creating an appreciative customer base.

CFC Home and Farm Center took the Large Business of the Year.

Having a “sweet spot” in the area’s agricultural scene, this company which has locations in Rappahannock and Fauquier supports a growing and thriving industry known and appreciated by many. Ed Dunphy and Karen McGowan accepted the award.
