New Pathways starts the journey Former county administrator Frank Bossio got a green light to pursue a new venture. The Culpeper County Board of Supervisors passed a Memorandum of Understanding between the county and New Pathways Tech, Inc. and Culpeper Human Services. Bossio had introduced the project several months ago which would require rehabilitating part of the George Washington Carver Building to a machine shop.

The county would create an account for this operation in the amount of $100,000 for the first year with a one time expense of $60,000 for equipment.

They would enter into a lease agreement with New Pathways for use of the building and Culpeper Human Services would provide the personnel.

New Pathways Tech, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization. The vote was unanimous with the exception of Sue Hansohn who abstained since she sits on the New Pathways board. The creation of this machine training shop is part of the board’s efforts to bring more vocational training to Culpeper.

Town chooses new finance director/treasurer Howard Kartel has been selected as the new Finance Director/Town Treasurer. He started Monday, Feb. 6.

He is a Certified Professional Accountant and holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Bentley University and a MBA from Dowling College.

Kartel has worked for the last 10 years as the Accounting Manager for the Prince William County Service Authority.

Salute to our Veterans First veteran hired for Military Medics Program

By Jessica Nolte

CAPITAL NEWS SERVICE FOR CULPEPER TIMES

Gov. Terry McAuliffe celebrated Monday the announcement of Virginia Military Medics and Corpsmen Program’s first hire, Jeffery Filler.

The Virginia MMAC program is the first of its kind in the nation.

The program employs veterans, giving them the opportunity to utilize their medical training acquired during active duty service.

“This is important, this is the next step when we talk about what we need to do to make Virginia the most veteran friendly state in American,” McAuliffe said.

This is not a partisan issue, Lt. Gov. Ralph Northam said. The bill creating Virginia MMAC was introduced by Sen. George Barker, D-Alexandria, and passed unanimously in both the House and the Senate during the 2016 General

Assembly session.

This is part of a larger effort to make Virginia a veteran- and military-friendly state.

Northam cited previous efforts including the Virginia Values Veterans Program, which aims to train employers on how to recruit, hire and retain veterans.

Virginia’s full-time veteran employment rate is 87.2 percent – the highest in the nation, state officials said.

Virginia is also first in veteran labor growth rate, according to the U.S. Dept. of Veterans Affairs and Bureau of Labor Statistics.

“This is a new, innovative pathway, and this is just the beginning,” McAuliffe said.

Chesapeake Regional Healthcare is the first health care system to hire a veteran through the program.

“We understand the value vet-

erans bring to the healthcare field, and we’re very proud to be a part of that,” said Dr. Alton Stocks, former interim CEO of Chesapeake Regional Healthcare and a former U.S. Navy Medical Corps officer.

Stocks said that when he heard about the program, he knew Chesapeake Regional Healthcare was the perfect place to launch it. The medical center’s staff is about 9 percent veterans, Stocks said.

Filler’s chosen path will be in anesthesia.

He will work as an anesthesia technician while earning his civilian certification. Filler served

in the United States Navy with distinction. He was honorably discharged in April 2016 just after the governor signed the bill.

The governor said the program holds special importance to him.

He is the father of a Marine and the son of a World War II veteran.

Northam attended Virginia Military Institute and served eight years active-duty in the U.S. Army.

The Culpeper Times has highlighted dozens of area veterans since starting the Salute to Veterans page. We thank Larry Alexander and Hans Heinz 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.

FEATURED VETERANS Larry Ray Alexander Branch, rank: US Navy (ETR2) Electronic Technician (Radar) Petty Officer 2nd Class Years of service: 4 years (5 Jan 1956 – 24 Nov 1959) Peacetime service aboard the USS Harold J. Ellison “Happy Jack” DDG 564 Highlights/honors: Larry did have the opportunity to climb the mast with a 50# radar motor on his back during a storm in the north Atlantic, as the radar had gone out. That got him a drink of the Captain’s whiskey.

This Week In Military History

1973 – The release of U.S. POWs begins in Hanoi as part of the Paris peace settlement. The return of U.S. POWs began when North Vietnam released 142 of 591 U.S. prisoners at Hanoi’s Gia Lam Airport. Part of what was called Operation Homecoming, the first 20 POWs arrived to a hero’s welcome at Travis Air Force Base in California on February 14. Operation Homecoming was completed on March 29, 1973, when the last of 591 U.S. prisoners were released and returned to the United States. EXIT Cornerstone Realty commends all of our Vietnam War Veterans for their service and courage at home and abroad.

Your dedication and fortitude in this war deserves all of our respect and gratitude.

Alexa Hinton, center, performs as Sherrie Christian in Culpeper County High School's production of "Rock of Ages." The musical will be presented Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m.

THE WEEKEND PAPER

Local News. Local Voices.

Culpeper County High School’s production of “Rock of Ages” is looking to take the audience back to a “sexier time - the Reagan era.”

Based on the the Broadway musical “Rock of Ages,” though much tamer suggests CCHS fine arts teacher Maxi Mitchell, the play documents the tumultuous relationship between aspiring rock star Drew Boley (Micah Leuterio) and recently arrived want-to-be actress Sherrie Christian (Alexa Hinton).

Narrated by Lonnie Barnett (Chad McKnight), the musical originates in the iconic Bourbon Room in the Sunset Strip in Los Angeles and tells a torrid tale of 80s love, hair metal, dreams and more hair metal.

Taking a medley of 80s classics from Poison, Journey, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and more, the young cast admitted that some of the music was familiar but other songs weren’t as well known.

“We were both born in 2000,” McKnight said with a sly smile.

Being that they were just a twinkle in their parents’ eyes in the time frame the musical is produced, McKnight and Leuterio both relied on their directors for help.

Choir director Doray Walker uses a not-so 80s method to help conduct the live band performing the hair-metal classics that pepper the musical - computers.

Three laptops sit at the front of the stage, helping keep the cast on task and in tune.

“It’s been pretty challenging,” Walker said. “We’ve worked really hard on the

Want to go?

What: Culpeper County High School presents 'Rock of Ages" When: Feb. 9, 10 and 11th, 7 p.m.

Cost: $5 for students, $10 for adults music and the choreography.”

Chris Brown, a CCHS graduate, plays lead guitar for the house band and is backed by a student band of C.J. Giba on drums, Hannah Randolph on keyboards and Jacob Dawson and Chase Miller on guitar.

McKnight said the musical is one of his family’s favorites and he was excited to perform the classic songs.

“You don’t get to relive the crazy 80s everyday,” he said with a laugh.

His favorite song in the musical? “Can’t fight this feeling,” by Boston.

With the live band playing in the background, Leuterio said it’s been a challenge picking up the right timing.

“I just don’t want to throw anything off,” he said.

The band doesn’t stop playing hardly at all throughout the musical, Mitchell said, who is a self-processed 80s fan.

She said that the school’s staff has been extremely willing to lend their expertise as well, stopping in to listen to practice and relive their 80s experiences through the casts performance.

“It’s been a lot of fun and it’s a comedy, which is where my home is,” Mitchell said.

“The kids have been great.”

CCHS presents “Rock of Ages” Feb. 9, 10 and 11th at 7 p.m. Tickets are $5 for students and $10 for adults. On opening night, attendees will get a $1 off if they dress in their best 80s attire.

Good golly, Miss Mollie!

It’s time to go public: I have a new(ish) dog.

I wrote a few years ago in this column about losing my beloved Belgian Tervuren shepherd dog, Mai Coh, to old age.

After a couple of years, I decided it was time to get another dog — specifically, a Terv because the breed characteristics were such a good fit for my needs.

I checked out some breeder options at the Terv specialty show that year but came away depressed after finding out about a growing list of health concerns. Some Terv owners and breeders I talked with at the show indicated, not surprisingly, that the issues stem from the low number of Tervs in the United States, and

inbreeding resulting from this.

The day I came back from the show, I started to look at other options, focusing on herding breeds. Serendipitously, I found the Rappahannock Animal Welfare League (RAWL) had just acquired Mollie, a three-year-old collie, or mostly collie (the jury’s still out).

Readers of this column may already be familiar with Mollie’s nose, a photo of which appeared in a column I wrote on dogs’ acute sense of smell (Dec. 15, 2015).

While obviously having herding genes, Mollie differed from Mai Coh in some important respects, and it took a while for both of us to bond and start becoming a pack of two. It didn’t help that, several months after adopting Mollie, I found out that she had a more checkered past than RAWL and I were aware of. She had come from a shelter in a neighboring ➤ See Mollie, Page 9

➤ Mollie, from Page 8 county, and the only information RAWL had received about why she was “relinquished” was that she had chased horses, biting one’s tail.

Some of the traits I had liked about Mai Coh are common among many herding breeds, including loyalty, high aptitude for learning and intelligence in working with humans to herd livestock. But herding livestock well requires a high prey drive, which can be a problem if a dog is not properly trained and managed. After training Mai Coh to get her herding instincts under control, I thought I could handle that aspect of Mollie’s behavior. And with no livestock where I live, that wasn’t an immediate concern.

While I didn’t exactly turn Mai Coh into an obedience champion, she had good manners around people and most animals, especially domesticated ones, much of which came from her innate disposition and basic training she had received from the breeder as a pup. I took her to a Terv herding training clinic not long after I got her to get the tools to finish off her training.

When allowed to play with horses where we lived, she was enthusiastic but gentle and, after the herding training, quickly came when called.

And when I asked to herd the few times I needed her to do so — as when a high-strung colt got separated from his mom — she was patient and careful, working with me as a team.

Because of her breeding, she was also my “Velcro” dog, rarely leaving my side for more than a few minutes.

But Mollie is not Mai Coh, as I soon found out. Quite by accident, a few months after I’d adopted Mollie, I ran into an animal control officer from the county she had come from who had adopted her after he’d picked her up as a stray. At the time, she was eight months old and had a broken hip, he said.

The officer ended up giving her up, he said, mostly for killing chickens, escaping over a six-foot fence, and chewing through a door. He and I agreed that she was young and bored at the time. She obviously also had not gotten the basic training she needed.

IN BRIEF

Environmentally minded businesses may get tax breaks

RICHMOND – Businesses that operate in energy-efficient buildings or make products that benefit the environment could receive tax incentives under a bill headed toward approval in the General Assembly.

The House has already passed HB 1565, and the Senate Finance Committee unanimously endorsed ➤ See Tax, Page 10

HOME & GARDEN Had I made a serious mistake in taking her on? Whatever her past, I was determined that she would never be given up again — that we’d work out her issues together. The main one, as I found out not too long after I adopted her, was impulse control and her fixation on driving off perceived threats, especially predators, such as bears, foxes, but she also went after noisy lawnmowers and other loud machinery. I wasn’t worried about her taking on predators, which she’s shown she can handle, without physically engaging them. Instead, she intimidates them through loud, persistent barking, which not only annoys the wild animal but also we humans living on the property. In exposing her, on lead, to livestock, I found that she has no interest in them when they are not moving.

Mollie is a great dog at heart.

She loves people, especially kids, although she doesn’t have a great sense of her own size and strength, or

of personal space in general. She will enthusiastically jam her large nose into the face of kids, dogs and other living things, so we’ve been working on that. Mollie is otherwise good with dogs of any size, playing exuberantly without being too rough, and she’s even good with cats.

A young one once playfully went after Mollie’s tail, then attached herself to the dog’s butt, and all Mollie did was look puzzled and tried to move away.

While Mollie and I got on well from the start, for a long time I wondered if we’d ever truly bond sufficiently to form a true “pack of two.” I was missing Mai Coh and, while I expected my relationship with Mollie would be different, I worried about her past and how much that would come into play.

This fall, something clicked with Mollie — she finally seemed to bond with me, which in turn helped me bond more to her. Now, at five years

old, she’s not quite so intense as when I adopted her. Off the property, she has become a good hiking companion, off lead or on, and comes when called, although I still am not totally sure of her reliability.

While Mollie has mostly settled into a routine at home, her forays up the mountain to drive off predators are still not under control. I’m sure she could be so much better in general, and safer, with more training, so I’m trying some new training strategies for that. She has a lot of energy, power and athleticism that could be harnessed for activities that are more useful and fun for both of us than annoying wildlife. © 2017 Pam Owen Pam Owen is a writer, editor, photographer, and passionate nature conservationist living in Rappahannock County, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

Pet lifetime license bill passes in General Assembly

By Ashley Luck

CAPITAL NEWS SERVICE FOR CULPEPER TIMES

RICHMOND – A bill allowing local governments to provide lifetime licenses for cats and dogs has been unanimously approved by the General Assembly.

House Bill 1477, by Del. Robert Orrock, R-Caroline County, would add the lifetime licensing provision to existing state law on dog and cat licenses.

The Senate approved the bill 40-0 on Tuesday, after a nearly identical version cleared the House of Delegates on a 98-0 vote on Jan. 30. The two chambers still must work out minor differences before the legislation can go to Gov. Terry McAuliffe to be signed into law.

The lifetime license would be

valid if the animal’s owner resides in the locality and keeps up the animal’s rabies vaccinations. The bill also states that local ordinances can require an animal to have an identifying microchip.

The bill would remove the minimum annual tax for a dog or cat, making it no more than $10 each year or a maximum tax of $50 for a lifetime license.

In addition, if an animal’s tag is lost, destroyed or stolen, the legislation sets a $1 fee for getting a duplicate tag. To get another tag for the

animal, an owner must apply to the treasurer or agent who issued the original license and show the original license receipt. With an affidavit from the owner, the treasurer can then issue another license tag that the owner must immediately put on the animal’s collar.

The time for an owner to pay the required license tax would be changed from before Feb. 1 for the year to within one month after the due date. If the owner fails to pay, the court can order confiscation and disposition of the animal.

Owners must start paying the tax no later than 30 days after their animal has aged four months, or no later than 30 days after they adopt an animal 4 months old or older.

The tax is then paid each year during the animal’s life.

Owners with trained guide dogs or service dogs that serve disabled people continue to be exempt from paying the license tax.

Local ordinances may establish different tax amounts for owners with spayed or neutered dogs or cats versus animals that aren’t spayed or neutered.

➤ Tax, from Page 9 the measure on Tuesday.

The bill’s sponsor, Del. Michael Webert, R-Fauquier, said it was requested by economic development officials in his district to attract green businesses.

“The bill would authorize local governing bodies to create by ordinance one or more green development zones inside which localities would be permitted to grant tax incentives and provide certain regulatory flexibility to attract green businesses,” Webert said.

A “green development business” would be defined as a business “engaged primarily in the design, development or production of materials, components or equipment used to reduce negative impact on the environment.”

As incentives, local governments could offer such businesses a reduction in permit fees, user fees and gross receipts taxes.

In addition, localities would be authorized to provide regulatory flexibility within a green development zone. That could mean special zoning, faster permit processing and exemption from certain ordinances.

Localities could offer these incentives for up to 10 years.

The bill would expand on Virginia’s existing Enterprise Zone Grant Program. That program allows localities to apply for grants from the Department of Housing and Community Development for an enterprise zone designation that also offers tax and regulatory incentives.

Webert’s bill would apply the same ideas to green development zones. Under the program, as the value of real estate, machinery and tools within a zone increases, a percentage of the rising tax revenues would be used for grants aimed at attracting businesses or enhancing governmental services within the zone.

The legislation is part of a “green agenda” that Republican legislators touted at a news conference last week.

“The word ‘conservation’ and the word ‘conservative’ comes from the same piece of Latin,” said Del. J. Randall Minchew, R-Loudoun.

“No conservative should ever be disappointed to call themselves a conservationist.”

VIEWS LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Always accessible I want to reach out and share with you a little about the new political environment we are now facing since the election of President Trump.

Within a week of the November election, rich liberals who spent tens of millions of dollars trying to elect Hillary Clinton came together to develop a roadmap to resist Trump and take back power for the institutional left. We are now seeing the results of their efforts leading swiftly down to the state and local levels with great intensity.

Here in the 7th District, I have been blitzed with a charge that I am not available for constituents to meet and talk with me in open townhalls. The press has picked up on this narrative without doing any research and rushing pieces to press without giving us a fair chance to respond. And so, I'm asking you to help me correct the record.

Here are the facts. In the past two years, I have held over 30 town hall meetings in the 7th district that have been open to the public. These meetings are usually held in county administration buildings or school auditoriums. In addition, I have attended hundreds of other meetings across every venue imaginable from businesses to Chambers of Commerce, to churches, to sports groups to civic groups to rotary meetings. These visits have been well-documented on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Governor, look within Virginia for economic opportunity

An eco-friendly economic opportunity is staring our legislators in the face.

There is an opportunity to revitalize manufacturing districts and bring prosperity to our farmers and artisans.

This opportunity can also clean up the environment and add fertility to the soil.

We are talking about hemp. All parts of the hemp plant can be used in production. Which means that farmers can get paid for multiple raw products from one crop; seed, flower, hurd (inner core), bast fiber and stalk. Hemp has tens of thousands of uses; healthy food source, biodegradable plastic, fuel and so much more.

Virginia could be participating in a multi-billion dollar global hemp industry. The US is the largest importer of hemp, yet we are restricted to growing hemp only for limited research. All that money being spent on European and Canadian hemp, could be going to our Virginia farmers, instead. We could reinvigorate our manufacturing sector and be creating jobs!

As you know, after my first election I promised to visit with constituents on a monthly basis, and to be accessible by holding regular meetings. As even the Richmond Times Dispatch noted after one of my many townhalls in Henrico, I have kept that promise. That is why it is now incredible for me to read in the paper that some are saying I am inaccessible. My campaign last year focused on the promises I have kept since I went to Washington to be your voice in Congress. If there had been an issue with regard to townhalls prior to November you would have expected more than a few questions or a backlash at that time.

There was no backlash because even the press knows that I am one of the most accessible members of Congress.

That of course begs several questions about the timing of this newfound intensity surrounding townhalls, especially given that many of the people making charges have not availed themselves of the opportunity to attend one of my many well-advertised and open townhalls in the past.

As your representative, I'm very proud of the fact that to date our meetings here in the 7th have been full of insightful dialogue, friendly and informative, where people have been given ample opportunity to share their suggestions and concerns. I always look forward to the input I get from everyone, and hearing their best solutions to get this economy moving again, providing the best education possible for our

children, and keeping our citizens safe. And at every turn, since today's young people will be the ones who will shoulder the burden of our government’s bad decisions, I also make it a point in particular to encourage students at all levels to take their civic responsibility seriously. Their future -- the opportunity to get a job, raise a family and succeed in our country -- is why I am working for change in Washington.

But my work in Washington is only part of my job and I take my responsibility to the people back home seriously.

Congress is moving at a blistering pace so far this year, but I am doing my best to use time around our packed work schedule to get around to the many requests I have in the district.

For example, at the end of the congressional work week last week, in just two days I attended over 10 events in eight counties -- and the most common expression I hear from those that follow me on Facebook is "Dave how do you do all of this?"

And so you can be reassured that I will continue to do the same thing in the future. I will hold open town hall meetings as well as digital dialogues and Facebook exchanges like we had recently. I look forward to it.

We have willing farmers, willing businesses and industry leaders from other states willing to purchase and expand to Virginia. What’s stopping our legislators and governor from jumping aboard this (re) emerging industry? The only thing that seems to be standing in the way is an estimated $208,000 for up to three employment positions.

These positions would be responsible for expanding and implementing the hemp licensing as authorized by the 2014 US Farm Bill.

Legislation was quickly moving through General Assembly in both houses, until a fiscal impact report stalled it in the Appropriation committee. HB2398 and HB2028 House hemp bills were tabled due to financial impact. SB1306 Industrial hemp; license to grow outside of research program, submitted by Sen. Jill Vogel, passed the Senate (40-0) - unanimously- and is headed to the House Agriculture Subcommittee. This committee has already voted in favor of hemp. When this Senate bill crosses over to be voted on by the entire House of Delegates we want to see enthusiastic support.

Without a willingness to fund this opportunity, however, SB1306 will meet

the same fate as the House hemp bills did in Appropriations.

Proponents of hemp (and many other legislative issues) are repeatedly being told that Virginia is in a budget crunch. New programs that have a significant fiscal impact are unlikely to make it through the General Assembly this year. However, the budget for Forestry and Agriculture for FY 2017 is $105,743,564 million. There are 836 employed positions just in that department for the year.

The clock is ticking. General Assembly’s 2017 legislative session ends in less than three weeks. Please contact your delegates and Governor Terry McAuliffe today and tell them the hemp industry should be a top priority for Virginia’s economic and environmental future.

We learned to like it

“As You Like It”, Shakespeare’s frolic in the Forest of Arden, is one of those iron sided plays that can withstand all manner of interpretation.

Call it the dude ranch trail horse of Elizabethan comedy. Director Gaye Upchurch may have an angle in mind, but it’s hard to discern in this scattered approach. But thanks to some fine performances of the cast, the story of jealousy, banishment, and foolish love emerges more or less intact.

There’s a youthful energy that keeps the rather long exposition phase from dragging down the whole play, but the first half does tend to run together in tone. Younger brother, Orlando, is banished by his cruel older brother, Oliver. Duke Senior has previously been ousted by his cruel brother Duke Frederick. And the most important pair of all, cousins Rosalind and Celia, run off to the forest because Celia’s father (the aforementioned cruel Duke Frederick) has decided to

➤ Like, from Page 21 banish Rosalind.

It is in the Forest of Arden where the coupling – and therefore, the fun – begins, aided by the wit of that great Fool, Touchstone (Aaron Krohn) dressed like a ‘50s cartoon used car salesman. His running commentary on love and his opportunistic wooing of the simple, sunny-tempered shepherdess, Audrey (Kimberly Chatterjee) guarantee an uptick in the humor because, unlike everyone else running around the forest in love, there is no heartache.

Lindsay Carter is the crown jewel of the evening as the heroine Rosalind, a lively young woman of tenderness and passion. Disguised in male attire as “Ganymede”, she commands her heartthrob Orlando to woo her as if she were “his Rosalind.” Due to the random, thrift shop tenor of Charlotte Palmer-Lane’s costuming choices, the absurdity of Orlando’s not being able to recognize Rosalind is even more pronounced. Lorenzo Roberts as Orlando occasionally comes through with genuine purpose, but more often lacks the strength and focus we would like to see in this role.

Antoinette Robinson as Celia is the optimum foil for her lovesick cousin.

The shades of love are delicately played here; having abandoned her father out of loyalty to Rosalind, she watches with little comment as Rosalind turns the focus of her

But also in typical Elizabethan fashion, Celia will be rescued by an ardent – and improbable - love at first sight.

Silvius (Brian Reisman) and Phoebe (Dani Stoller) emerge as the rustic counterparts, and Silvius is so forlorn in his love and Phoebe so dismissive that the only humor that can be visited upon them is when Phoebe falls in love with the disguised youth, Ganymede.

When it appears to me that a competent actor is being misused, I’m happy to blame the director. This is the case with Jaques, a character who is, by every account, a most dismal and solitary creature, lugubrious in the extreme and able, by his own account, to “suck melancholy out of a song as a weasel sucks eggs.” So why is Tom Story allowed to blend in with the other players, no particular note of darkness about him? A character who could teach Severis Snape something about gloom has no business appearing cheerful, and this Jaques has nothing in look, manner, or

Scene design by John McDermott keeps the stage uncluttered for quick changes and only goes for representation in the beautifully rendered three-dimensional backdrop of the forest.

In keeping with the costume design of “random-modern,” Heather Christian’s original music, too, ranges from Renaissance inspired to beatbox – with no particular objection here, for it’s all in keeping with the

moment. That playfulness comes to the fore especially in the second half with frequent inclusions and acknowledgements of the audience.

Alexandra Beller’s choreography accentuates the underlying joyfulness of youth and love, and in the end wins us over to the ever-popular happy ending.

Say it with chocolate FROM WHERE I SIT

When I was a little girl and Valentine’s Day came around my father would come home with heartshaped boxes of chocolates. My mother would receive the larger one and I the smaller one. For several days after I would carefully open my box and select a treat.

I do have a penchant for sweet things and the rich velvety taste of a fine chocolate is something to be savored. Culpeper has its own resident Frenchman and chocolate connoisseur in the form of Marc Ast who presides over cases of some of the world’s best chocolate and, what a gift, you can find him on Davis Street.

Marc has been touting Neuhaus chocolates for years. I’ve tasted a few and they are delectable. He recently shared with me that he isn’t alone in his assessment of these Belgian

Anita L. Sherman

delicacies. Bloomberg assigned their food editor, Kate Krader, to try some of the best chocolates in the world. She came up with a fair list but coming in at number one was Neuhaus.

To keep things as fair as possible she tasted dark chocolate ganache truffles from companies that ship across the United States and some globally. Where at all possible, she kept her choices unadorned - no infusions, no extra flavors, no nuts we’re talking about a pure chocolate competition.

According to the Bloomberg article, Krader’s conclusions are based on her own, explicitly biased preferences. “I have a sweet tooth, so I don’t always like the bitter chocolates that go up to astronomically high cocoa amounts,” she said. “Sometimes chocolate can be too intensely chocolate.” The truffles were graded on taste, aesthetic, and overall presentation.

Neuhaus was her absolute favorite.

“Oh, my God,” she said. “I feel like I just fell into a pool of chocolate.”

“A chocolate like this makes you

Marc’s love affair with chocolate is no secret and he’ll gladly share his expertise on the subject while tempting you to try any of his heavenly confections. Valentine’s Day is next week and whether you’re the guy or the gal, a gift of fine chocolates says, “I love you.”

realize how many old chocolates you’ve eaten in your life,” she said.

"And how many mediocre ones."

While receiving a box of chocolates from the Frenchman’s Corner for Valentine’s Day would melt any girl’s heart, a single chocolate will do and there are many to choose from.

Valentine's’ Day is a good time to remember your heart ➤ February is American Heart Month

(StatePoint) Heart disease and stroke cause one in three deaths among women each year, killing approximately one woman every 80 seconds.

While there are many risk factors involved that are beyond one’s control, a healthy lifestyle can make a big difference.

February is American Heart Month and a great opportunity to adopt healthy habits that can reduce your risk for illness. Here are five to consider.

• Move about: Exercise doesn’t have to be daunting! Aim for 10-minute sessions, three times daily. Movement sets your metabolism in motion, so make sure it’s a consistent part of your life.

• Get sleep: Sleeping fewer than seven hours a night can make you gain weight and have more trouble taking it off, according to Columbia University research. Another study found that people who get enough sleep have a five percent higher metabolism than people who don’t.

That means more calories burned while you’re sleeping! Doesn’t get much easier than that.

• Eat small and well: “Studies have found that losing five to 10 percent of your body weight can lower the risk of a heart attack,” says Dawn Zier, CEO of Nutrisystem and the 2017 Go Red for Women Campaign Chair in Philadelphia, a movement to help end heart disease and stroke in women.

Research suggests that eating smaller, balanced meals throughout the day promotes greater weight loss and maintenance, and can also be good for your heart. Schedule meals every two to three hours, six times a day. Programs designed to help you eat healthy portions can mean seeing quick results. For example, Nutrisystem Lean13 is a new

program designed to help you lose up to 13 pounds and seven inches in the first month. For more information visit nutrisystem.com.

• Rise, shine, drink water.

You’ll burn more calories all day: A German study found that drinking 48 ounces (about six cups) of cold water increased calorie burn at rest by up to 50 calories per day. This alone could melt a pound in a little more than two months. And drinking it before meals could give you an added bonus, as a Virginia Tech study found that dieters who drank two, eight-ounce glasses of water before meals for 12 weeks lost 36 percent more weight than those who didn’t down the water.

• Put your phone away: Checking your email in the morning will just stress you out. Many productivity experts recommend waiting at least an hour once you get to work before checking your inbox, so you can tackle your most important priorities calmly without getting distracted.

This American Heart Month, take steps to improve your health and reduce your risk for serious illness.

Great tips to get in shape and stay in shape Losing weight and living a healthier lifestyle top millions of people’s list of goals. Unfortunately, it’s a lot easier to set a goal than it is to actually achieve it, so it’s important to have a game plan if you want to see results. Here are some sustainable tips to help you lose weight and feel great!

Set Goals Mindfully Setting a goal to “lose weight” sounds great, but it is pretty vague.

It’s hard to achieve a goal without a specific plan or focus. Remember to think about your health beyond just the number on the scale. Whether it’s deciding to train for a 5k race or choosing to reduce your sugar intake by half, getting specific and setting realistic goals helps you get

a clear sense as to whether you were successful.

Get Hydrated One simple way to cut back calories and sugar is to make water your drink of choice. Eliminate high-calorie beverages like juice and soda from your diet. Get started by setting a simple goal of drinking at least five 12-ounce glasses of water a day.

Sustainable Meal Planning A sustainable diet is not about deprivation, it’s about eating

nutritious, enjoyable meals. For example, a Mediterranean diet, which focuses on fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, lean meats and healthy fats like olive oil; often offers better nutrition, better flavors and better results than a fad diet.

In fact, people who followed a Mediterranean diet lost 52 percent more weight than those with a standard low-fat diet says a study published in a peer reviewed journal.

Over a period of two years, the Mediterranean diet group lost 9.7 pounds while the low fat diet group only lost 6.3 pounds.
