Why talk about death?

Death is a normal part of life; it is not a failure to be avoided or hidden. At a Death Café people, often strangers, gather in an open, respectful place to eat dessert, drink coffee and to discuss whatever they wish on dying and death. Death Café is part of a global movement whose main objective is to increase awareness of death while helping people make the most of the rest of their lives.

A Death Cafe is a group-directed discussion of death with no agenda, objectives or themes – no products or services are sold or endorsed. It is a discussion group rather than a grief support or counseling session. See http://deathcafe.com for more detailed information. Join us for coffee, cake and conversation on Sunday, March 5 from 3 – 4:30 in the Library meeting room. RSVP by calling 540.718.5323 or email craig.wilt@hopva.org by March 2.

DMV NEWS

Tired of waiting?

In an effort to give customers the best information on wait times at their local customer service center, the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) has created a helpful new wait time estimation system. The information, available at dmvNOW.com, shows how many customers are currently waiting at each office and the longest wait time currently experienced by any customer.

The information is broken down by a variety of service categories and is available for each of DMV’s 75 customer service centers.

DMV has more than 40 transactions available online, but, sometimes, you just need to visit them in person.

Using a system designed to maximize customer flow, DMV queues customers based on transaction type. The estimated wait times begin a half hour after each office opens and are updated every five minutes. The count starts when a customer receives a queueing ticket and ends when her number is called for service. By publishing the longest wait time currently being experienced by any customer in each service category, customers will get a more complete picture of wait times at the office of their choosing for the transaction they need to conduct. The new system also tells customers which transactions they may be able to complete online at dmvNOW. com. These include most vehicle registration renewals, address changes, license plate orders and driver’s license renewals when a new photo and vision screening isn’t required.

Here are a few tips to shorten your visit to DMV: Avoid peak times: The first and last weeks of the month are typically the busiest, as are Saturdays. Try visiting mid-morning or mid-afternoon for reduced wait times.

Use dmvNOW.com to determine exactly what you need to complete your transaction: Print out necessary forms and fill them out before you leave your house. Double check that you have the appropriate identification or documentation and payment for fees.

When possible, complete your transaction online: More than 40 transactions can be done at dmvNOW. com from the comfort of your own home, 24 hours a day.

Consider visiting a DMV Select office for vehicle-related transactions: Operated mostly by local government partners, DMV Select offices can conduct vehicle registration renewals, title issuances or replacements, license plate purchases, and other transactions.

➤ Concerns include increase of binge drinking

By Amy Lee

CAPITAL NEWS SERVICE FOR CULPEPER TIMES

RICHMOND – The General Assembly has given final approval to a bill that would allow the sale of 151-proof liquor in Virginia – a choice available in almost all other states, but one some fear could increase binge drinking and other problems on college campuses.

“I am glad to see Virginia join the ranks of 48 other states that have legalized clear, 151-proof alcohol. The law banning the legislation is a law left over from the days of Prohibition,” said Del. Barry Knight, R-Virginia Beach, who sponsored the bill.

Under HB 1842, state-controlled liquor stores will be able to sell neutral grain spirits up to 151 proof (75.5 percent alcohol), an increase from the previous limit of 101 proof (50.5 percent alcohol).

Knight sponsored similar legislation in 2016, but it was vetoed by Gov. Terry McAuliffe, who echoed the concerns of university officials about 151-proof liquor. “A prime market for these products is young people who are attracted to their high proof and low cost,” McAu-

liffe wrote in his veto message last spring.

A McAuliffe spokesman said the governor has not taken a stand on HB 1842.

This year’s bill passed with a bipartisan vote of 36-4 in the Senate on Tuesday. Last month, the House approved the measure, 83-14.

To assuage concerns from organizations such as the Virginia College Alcohol Leadership Council, Knight cooperated with Brian Moran, secretary of public safety and homeland security, to include a five-year sunset clause in HB 1842.

The legality of 151-proof grain alcohol would expire on July 1, 2022, and lawmakers then would decide whether to renew the law.

In addition, under the bill, the Virginia Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control could choose not to sell 151-proof alcohol products near college campuses.

Some university officials have expressed concerns about highly potent liquor. University of Virginia President Teresa Sullivan has likened it to a “date rape” drug because of the correlation between alcohol consumption and sexual assault.

A popular 151-proof liquor is Everclear, which also comes in a 190-proof variety. It is made by Luxco, a clear liquor producer based in St. Louis. Vectre Corp., a lobbying firm in Richmond, represents Luxco.

Vectre officials said 151-proof clear alcohols were used mostly for culinary purposes rather than for straight consumption. An Everclear study conducted in 2015 found that 64 percent of product purchases were made by consumers over age 31.

Virginia and Vermont are the only states that ban sales of 151-proof liquor. Despite such restrictions, Virginia residents could easily cross into neighboring states to purchase strong neutralgrain alcohols.

According to Knight, the motivation behind HB 1842 is economic. A House workgroup report showed ABC sold more than $13,000 in grain alcohol during the 2016 fiscal year to purchasers holding special permits for industrial, commercial, culinary or medical purposes.

“Now Virginians do not have to drive to other states, and give their tax money, to purchase this spirit,” Knight said. “This legislation will allow Virginians the same purchasing power as 48 other states, have the taxes come to the commonwealth, and provide restaurants with 151 (proof) for cooking purposes.”

Visit the Rock Manor Sunday, Feb. 26

By Linda Martin

MANAGING BROKER (LICENSED IN VA) MONTAGUE MILLER & CO REALTORS

When I first began working in the Culpeper area, like others I’d pass by the rock house on Sperryville Pike wondering who would build such a manor, why there, more—I’d make up stories in my head.

Reading about the rock manor, I found there’s as much urban lore (true & not) as I had imagined.

A.H. Hawkins was a bigger than life guy & self-made man.

He was in trucking, had businesses in Culpeper, he built Culpeper’s first swimming pool (which burned, along with his wife’s piano!), and farmed here. He built it in the 1930’s after the home he shared with his family burned!

She had asked for a Sears Roebuck catalogue cape model with a pretty stone fireplace — What she got was a resplendent robber baron styled main level, 2 upper levels and two lower ones (the lowest, like a dungeon, or possible speak easy as Hawkins was a gambler), stone turrets, slate roof & flagstone porches!

Pretty much fire proof, it was

and is Hawkins Castle!

The current owners drove out from Manassas one day, about 12 years ago, and pretty much fell in love with the possibilities, and took on what was by then a sad looking place on a little less than 10 acres, left behind, and turned it back into a home.

They kept the historic style intact, and personally supervised the contractors that tore out upstairs apartments, trappings of the sixties to the eighties—and then gently updated!

Now airy it’s got some mystery and elegance to share.

It is now on the market at $775,000 and available for viewing by appointment!

For more information contact Linda Martin, Managing Broker (Licensed In VA), Montague Miller & Co. Realtors at 540-825-3300, ext 24 or on her cell at 540-270-6062.

A house with a history will be open for viewing! With 5 levels, this is a stone residence that has been well renovated, updated and enjoyed by longtime owners! A main level along with 2 upper and 2 lower levels.There are 4+ bedrooms and 4 baths. On 3 acres. $775,000

➤ CCPS Culinary Arts program teaches students safety, technique

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times staff writer For Culpeper County High School senior Shawn Harrah, food equals happiness.

As she stirred the filling to an eclair last Thursday, she mused about the connection.

“I love food because it makes people happy and it brings people together,” she said.

Harrah is a member of Chef Jay Cohen’s Culinary Arts II class at Culpeper County High School’s Annex, a group that routinely caters and makes lunches for the schools’ teachers and staff.

It’s the best example of operating in a working kitchen. Last Thursday, the class was deep in preparation for the next day’s meal. Shrimp bisque simmered on a nearby stove, ratatouille was being stacked close by and Harrah’s baking partnery Hunter Zwerner offered instructions as she stirred the filling.

“I love the intensity that working in a kitchen brings,” Harrah said. “You’re definitely working under a clock. It takes a lot of time management, but I like the pressure.”

A senior, Harrah’s dream is to attend Fort Lewis College in Colorado for business and then enroll in culinary arts school.

“It’s exciting, you know you’re always going to run into people who don’t like your food but it’s definitely great when you find people that do,” Harrah said. “As long as they’re happy, you’re happy.”

The kitchen was all smiles Thursday, as ➤ See Culinary, Page 7

Culpeper Times • February 23-March 1, 2017

➤ Culinary, from Page 6 the smells of french cuisine wafted through the air. Cohen, a veteran of kitchens in the retirement community, said that working with students is not very different from his original profession.

“In that role, you’re always teaching and training your staff” Cohen said. “The difference is, in the industry it’s people who do that for a living. It’s rewarding when they make something they never thought they could do.”

Now in his third year of teaching, Cohen said he has had a number of students have that “wow” moment and those moments have led them into a career in culinary arts.

Two students who graduated last year now attend Johnson and Wales University Culinary Arts School and two others are planning on attending after this year.

Trey James, a senior, is one of those students. A track star as well, he’s looking to attend the Miami campus as they provide a track team.

He worked last Thursday on the shrimp bisque, testing it for flavor. A little heavy on cayenne pepper, he and a classmate added chicken broth to soothe the warmth.

“I just like the way you prepare it and how you start with nothing and end with something,” James said.

The bisque was labor intensive, starting with making a broth from the shells, cooking the shrimp, adding rice, carrots, celery and onions, tomato paste, thyme, parsley, cayenne pepper and finally some cream.

James and his classmates were then going to finish it with chives and shrimp on top.

“It feels good to know that teachers like what we cook,” James said.

Randi Richards-Lutz, Culpeper County Public Schools Director of Career and Technical Education and Technology, said that for years the schools have offered the

NEWS Culinary Arts program but this upcoming year, they hope to offer more. At last week’s Culpeper County School Board meeting, the opportunity to partner with J. Sargeant Reynolds in Richmond is being discussed. It hasn’t been finalized yet, but a partnership between CCPS and Germanna would have students earn college credits through J. Sargeant Reynolds for culinary arts. They would receive their high school credit and 15 college credits.

“The coursework they are already getting and they get the experience because they do cater,” Richards-Lutz said. “Now they’ll have the opportunity to have 15 college credits.”

Cohen’s Culinary Arts 1 class teaches students safe food practices and allows them to earn their ServSafe certification.

They also learn how to make basic sauces.

Culinary Arts II introduces them to more creativity and actual food production, having them cater and make lunches.

“So when they come into here, we go into technique,” Cohen said. “They’re learning creativity.”

Senior Tori Chattin said that she had never pan fried before she came to Culinary Arts II. Her final project this year was a pan seared chicken breast stuffed with guacamole and wrapped in bacon.

“I wanted to get involved because I always watched my mom in the kitchen,” Chattin said. “I just loved cooking and I wanted to progress my knowledge.”

She and Arielle Williams were in charge of the ratatouille last Thursday, chopping vegetables and stacking them in muffin tins.

“I’ve been cooking at home more now because of this,” Williams said. “I learned a lot about safety because of this.”

Williams said that cooking was more of a hobby for her, while Chattin had other plans.

“I’d like to get into the workforce so I can pay for school because I’d like to further my education,” Chattin said.

What are native plants?

HOME & GARDEN

Native species are those that occur in the region in which they evolved. Plants evolve over geologic time in response to physical and biotic processes characteristic of a region: the climate, soils, timing of rainfall, drought, and frost; and interactions with the other species inhabiting the local community. Thus native plants possess certain traits that make them uniquely adapted to local conditions, providing a practical and ecologically valuable alternative for landscaping, conservation and restoration projects, and as livestock forage. In addition, native plants can match the finest cultivated plants in beauty, while often surpassing non-natives in ruggedness and resistance to drought, insects and disease.

Pollen on the way?

Pollen season is almost upon us and, thanks to the relatively warm winter, may arrive sooner than expected. The culprits spewing what, for some of us, is an annoying allergen are members of the juniper family. This is the only tree pollen I seem to be allergic to, and it creeps up on me most years, being the last thing on my mind when I stare out at the bare winter landscape.

Only three juniper species are native to Virginia. One, the common juniper (Juniperus communis), is indeed the most common juniper in the world. But the range of this coldloving plant extends only down to just north of Rappahannock County, so not likely to be a problem for me at home. Another juniper, the Atlantic white-cedar (Chamaecyparis thyoides), grows only in the southeast coastal area of Virginia, so also not a problem.

The junipers that do cause problems are the nonnative ones used extensively for landscaping, as in the Fairfax County suburbs I grew up in, and the third native one, eastern redcedar (Juniperus virginiana).

Ubiquitous throughout Virginia, it is one of the first woody plants to take hold in disturbed open land, such as fallow pastures, forest and road edges, and medians. I noticed a bumper crop in the median of Rt. 211 just west of Warrenton as I was driving the other day.

Rather than having flowers that produce pollen, the eastern redcedar has tiny cones. The female cone is only about a quarter inch long, at most, with a waxy, bluish outer coating that makes it resemble a berry. The male cone, which holds the pollen, is about half the size of the female’s. Males release their pollen into wind, which carries it to females, starting in midto late February. In relatively warm winters, such as this year’s (so far), they can begin sooner. Also carried on the wind during mild weather is leaf mold, mixing in to give me a double

shot of allergens.

While I dread red cedar pollen season, enduring it is eased by knowing its “berries” give gin its characteristic flavor, and I do like martinis, and gin and tonics. And, as the Virginia Department of Forestry’s book “Common Native Trees of Virginia” notes, the red cedar berries are also a favorite food of many birds, including waxwings and bobwhite quail, and its dense foliage provides excellent roosting and nesting cover for birds. The foliage also serves as emergency winter food for deer. © 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.

Cracks can cause hazards in trees Tree failure is a major cause of property damage, especially after high-winds. If the wind is strong enough, even healthy trees can be uprooted or broken. But it might not take a storm or high winds to cause a cracked or rotted tree to fail under its own weight.

"Homeowners worried about trees falling and damaging property should call a qualified arborist for an on-site inspection," advises Tchukki Andersen, BCMA, CTSP* and staff arborist with the Tree Care Industry Association (TCIA).

Andersen notes that trees are genetically designed to withstand storms, but all trees can fail – and defective trees fail sooner than healthy trees.

"To a professional arborist," notes Andersen, "certain defects are indicators that a tree has an increased potential to fail."

Cracks in tree trunks can be one of the major indicators of an unstable tree. Most cracks are caused by improper closure of wounds or by the splitting of weak branch unions.

They can be found in branches, stems or roots, and vary in type and severity: There are horizontal and vertical

cracks. Horizontal cracks run across the grain of the wood and develop just before the tree fails, making them very difficult to detect. Vertical cracks run with the wood grain along the length of the tree and may appear as shear or ribbed cracks.

Shear cracks can run completely through the stem and separate it into two halves. As the tree bends and sways in the wind, one half of the stem slides over the other, elongating the crack. Eventually the enlarging crack causes the two halves of the stem to shear apart.

Ribbed cracks are created as the tree attempts to seal over a wound.

Margins of the crack meet and mesh but are reopened due to tree movement or extremely cold temperatures.

These cracks put a tree at high risk of failure, and are especially dangerous when combined with other defects or with advanced decay.

What is the risk?

Cracks are hazardous because they compromise the structure of the tree. They can eventually split the stem in two, and are very dangerous when combined with inter-

Cracks in trees can cause big problems for homeowners. nal decay. The presence of multiple cracks and decay indicates a potentially hazardous tree.

What’s that construction?

By Anita L. Sherman

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

From the time a proposed project hits the county planning commission for approval and then goes on to the board of supervisors for their final nod, it may be weeks or months. Even when approved, there are specific site plans that follow. It’s a process from beginning to end but thanks to County Director of Planning Sam McLearen and his staff we’re able to share a county project map which will give you a brief snapshot of what projects are going on and planned for the future. Hopefully it will help when you see bulldozers clearing land or a building being framed. What’s that construction?

Here are highlights: Commercial • Lifespire of VA (Virginia Baptist Homes) - Lifespire of VA will be constructing a new 124,500 sq. ft. community residential home/nursing home facility including memory care and skilled nursing care units.

The existing main nursing home facility will be demolished once new facility is complete.

'King Charles III' – Who’ll Stop the Reign?

CURTAIN CALLS

After being dazzled for over seventeen years (like the simple girl I am) by the regularly sumptuous and top- drawer offerings of the Shakespeare Theatre Co., it is almost a relief to dislike a play as much as I dislike Mike Bartlett’s “King Charles III.” That’s not to say that it doesn’t have its charms. The ceremonial scenes invoke British pomp at its best - those time-stopping interludes of soaring pageantry that transcend the cheapness of a slick and imitative media culture. Daniel Ostling’s scenic design is beyond reproach as well. Stone floors and towering stone walls with gothic windows harboring the imposing statues of ancient English kings set the tone of a thousand year old history still in the making. Lap Chi Chu’s lighting creates its own moments of grandeur when an evening sun reflects on the faces of those impassive monarchs.

And Bartlett’s story – a fanciful musing on the not so far off future when the present Prince of Wales ascends his mother’s throne and becomes Charles III – that story has some interesting twists and, impossible not to suspect, Bartlett’s own projection of what he wishes would happen. And what is that? You may politely ask.

Charles, the only man on the planet to train for 68 years to get the job he was born to, creates a Constitutional crisis and then gets out of it by abdicating in favor of his son, William. Unlike the first King Charles, however, he does not get beheaded.

There. Have I been nice enough?

Given credit where credit was due?

Good. Because here’s the rest.

What happens when a young lion playwright, television writer, screenwriter, and National Theatre writer-in-residence finds Tony nominations, Olivier awards, and Best New Play honors tossed at his feet along with roses and kisses from the critics? The inevitable: he thinks he’s the new Shakespeare. This is the only explanation I can glean for why “Charles III” was written in the familiar five-act Shakespearean form as well as a combination iambic pentameter and prose. And of course a few references to our old favorites from the Bard – not one but two ghosts (Elizabeth and Diana) drifting in and out to predict the future, a party boy prince, and a main figure (see title) who waffles tragically between personal conviction and royal duty.

Even that wouldn’t necessarily create a deficit if it didn’t soar to heights of pretentiousness – granted,

What: “King Charles III” Where: Shakespeare Theatre Co. Sidney Harman Hall, 610 F Street, Washington, D.C. Call: (202) 547-1122 or visit www.shakespearetheatre.org Playing through March 12 not hard to do when you imagine you’re the new Shakespeare. David Muse directs, and allows Robert Joy as Charles to fling himself about the stage in a passion of royal despair as he declaims to the audience. This Charles comes off as confused, impotent - and short – and while bearing a faint resemblance to the real thing, has none of that famous reserve bred into him by a lifetime of tradition and well-earned distrust of the press.

Camilla (Jeanne Paulsen) is believable as the fiercely loyal partner except when evening comes and she is saddled with such lines as “I’ll to bed, my husband”.

And I have to say it. How does this glittering young playwright, a product of the English schools, write not once but three times such careless constructions as “stories about the

Ian Merrill Peakes as Prime Minister Evans and Allison Jean White as Kate in the American Conservatory Theater production of King Charles III, directed by David Muse. prince and I” – especially when the faulty pronoun had no job to do in either rhyme or meter?

And then there’s Prince Harry. Don’t get me started. Harry Smith sifts the role of second son – the “spare” of “the heir and the spare” – and out comes a stiff half-wit who shouts his lines in an oafish monotone. He doesn’t want to be prince because money, privilege, etc., and because the self-assured little commoner, Jessica, (Michelle Beck) isn’t impressed with him and that makes him love her. Except for when he doesn’t and then wants to be prince again.

Fortunately there is some relief from all the histrionics as Prime Minister Evans (Ian Merrill Peakes) deals with the royal shenanigans like someone who remembers who he is. Prince

William (Christopher McLinden) is tasked with standing by expectantly and looking paler than usual while the lovely Kate (Allison White) may or may not have anything to do with the coming abdication. Lady Macbeth, she isn’t.

I am, perhaps, a lone voice howling in the wilderness. The play seemed to get plenty of appreciation from the audience, indeed, “the rabblement hooted and clapped their chapped hands and threw up their sweaty nightcaps…” For myself, I will join Jacques in railing against all the firstborn of Egypt.

Assembly OKs amendment to help surviving spouses of disabled vets

By Ashley Luck

CAPITAL NEWS SERVICE FOR CULPEPER TIMES

RICHMOND – A constitutional amendment to expand a tax exemption for surviving spouses of disabled veterans has passed unanimously in the House and Senate.

The amendment cleared the Senate on Friday after winning approval from the House on Feb. 6. It now goes to Gov. Terry McAuliffe, who will have until late March to act on the measure.

Currently, surviving spouses of disabled veterans get an exemp-

tion on the property taxes for the house in which they and their partner lived.

Under HJ 562, the amendment proposed by Del. Jason Miyares, R-Virginia Beach, spouses would continue to get the exemption if they move to another home.

Assuming McAuliffe approves the constitutional amendment, it still has a long way to go.

By law, it must be approved again by the 2018 General Assembly and then by voters in a statewide election in November 2018.

Moreover, if voters adopt the constitutional amendment, the General Assembly must craft leg-

islation for implementing it, noted Del. Jackson Miller, R-Manassas.

He is vice chairman of the House Privileges and Elections Committee, which held a hearing on HJ 562 on Feb. 3.

During the committee meeting, Miller said the enabling bill could address a concern he has about the tax exemption.

“In the corresponding legislation, could it be written that a spouse of a deceased member of our military couldn’t purchase a far more expensive home in the commonwealth of Virginia? Could the legislation say that the tax value of the home would have to

be equal to or lesser than the current home?” Miller said.

“The testimony we kept hearing is people wanted to scale down because they lost a spouse.

And when they scale down, they would lose their ability based on the home they are in when their spouse was killed.

"The concern I have is, someone that would perhaps scale up from a $200,000 house to a milliondollar house and now not paying property taxes.”

The committee voted unanimously – 21-0 – in favor of the amendment. So did the full House (97-0) and Senate (39-0).

Poetry comes to Middle Street Gallery

By Gary Anthes

SPECIAL TO THE CULPEPER TIMES

The haiku poem, a gift from 17th century Japan, joins the visual arts at Middle Street Gallery in Sperryville through March 26.

Haiku, or “one-breath poems,” are simple yet elegant observations about nature, or man's place in it.

Some of the three-line poems have been written by Japanese masters, and some have been created by gallery members, but all will accompany the artists' paintings, sculptures, photographs and multimedia works.

For example, Ann Currie's watercolor of a graceful flowering plant reveals a butterfly cocoon hidden among green leaves and purple flowers. It is flanked by her haiku: chrysalis hanging butterfly in creation metamorphosis Phyllis Northup's watercolor of

Jordan Pond at Acadia National Park is joined by her three-line observation: the pond is at peace rocks rest in shallow water mountains standing guard And Jo Levine's somber gray photograph of a line of trees above the ruin of an old dock on a salt marsh offers this poetic comment: trees watch the water while soft clouds float above them … quiet afternoon There will be an opening reception at the gallery on Sat. March 11 from 3 to 5 p.m. The public is invited to come and see recent works and read haiku by some 20 artists from Rappahannock County and nearby areas.

The gallery is now located above the Before & After espresso bar and wine cafe at 31 Main St. in Sperryville. Winter hours (through March) are Fri.-Sun. 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

VIEWS House and Senate budgets have differences but both focus on high priority issues FROM THE DESK OF ...

Dear Culpeper constituents, As we move closer to the end of the Senate session, we have seen countless bills pass the House and Senate. More importantly we have made sure that a lot of bad bills have failed.

Our budget discussions continue moving toward an agreement between the House and Senate on a final budget to be sent to the Governor. There are a number of substantive differences between the budget adopted by the House and the budget adopted by the Senate. However, they both addressed the high priority issues that were critical amendments and correct issues associated with the recent budget shortfall. We also continue to have debates on bills related to energy, education, agriculture, HOAs, election rules, healthcare reform, transparency, budget reform and how transportation funds are spent.

Remaining Senate bills were heard last week in House committees and now they come back to the Senate for final action. The House killed my SB 1298 last week. It had gained widespread support around Virginia and it was critical to a lot of people suffering from serious illnesses. The bill would have made it legal for

doctors to prescribe cannabidiol oil to treat cancer patients and those suffering from Crohn's, MS, ALS and other debilitating diseases. CBD oil is not “medical marijuana” – a patient cannot get “high” from CBD oil, it is not dealt on the illicit market, it is being compounded by pharmacies and it is an option physicians would like to have in the treatment of some illnesses that will not respond to any other treatment. Other bills of mine which saw action this week include: SJ 295 – Following Senate passage, the House is still considering my Regulatory Rollback Amendment.

SB 1296 – My bill to prevent the repeated introduction of meals tax referenda with deceptive language passed the House with a minor amendment and is now headed back to the Senate for a final vote SB 1299 – My bill granting emergency concealed carry rights for certain crime victims also passed the House and is headed back to the Senate for a final vote SB 1300 – My bill providing funding to offer gun safety training to crime victims passed its first House committee and is now being heard before the Appropriations committee SB 1304 – My bill granting municipalities more control over the timing of local elections passed the House and has been sent to the Governor for his signature SB 1305 – My bill granting relief for civil case court fees for

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Civil Rights: Finding a voice We live in a time where news reports regularly remind us of tragedy and discord, often seeming to do more to separate than unite us. It can be easy to think that, no matter what we do, we will not be able to make a difference for good.

As we look at the problems and conflicts around us, often we cannot see how the stories of the past influence the stories of the present--or, worse yet, we do not know the stories of the past and so cannot see how they are connected to the stories of today.

That is the reason for the Civil Rights: Finding a Voice program, an interactive presentation of stories and songs of the Civil Rights Movement.

Through this program, we connect the stories of the past with issues of today in an effort to help to begin building

bridges between people. We hope you'll join us.

We are Sheila Arnold Jones and Sarah Brady, storytellers and teaching artists who present programs both together and individually.

Nearly two years ago we were at a school preparing for a program when we overheard the music teacher singing civil rights songs with her students.

After the class was over, this teacher mentioned that she did not know of any programming that she could bring

impoverished plaintiffs also passed the House and is awaiting the Governor’s signature.

SB 1306 – My bill authorizing a streamlined expansion of industrial hemp cultivation was approved by its first House committee and is awaiting further action by the House Appropriations Committee.

SB 1307 – My bill expanding transparency in the online disclosure of government expenditures currently awaits a floor vote by the full House.

SB 1530 – My bill to help qualified individuals with disabilities find state employment passed both houses unanimously and will be sent to the Governor shortly.

SB 1546 – My bill fighting opioid abuse though banning dangerous new synthetic street drugs lacking any accepted medical use passed the House unanimously with one minor amendment and is headed back to the Senate for approval SB 1594 – My bill designating investigators employed by our Commonwealth’s Attorneys as conservators of the peace passed out of subcommittee and awaits a full committee hearing before it faces a vote on the floor It is my honor to do this work and I appreciate hearing from so many people around Virginia on the bills that we have considered.

Please contact us if you have any questions or concerns at district27@ senate.virginia.gov. into her school about the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. We looked at each other and immediately said that we would create a program.

The idea for our Civil Rights Movement programming was born. As we prepared for these programs in the coming months, we were confronted over and over again with how issues of the past are pertinent to events that are playing out on the national and world stages today. We firmly believe that learning the stories of the past can strengthen our knowledge of the present. Thus, our aim for this program is to build understanding and community through visiting the stories of the Civil Rights Movement and seeing how they impact today.

Please join us Friday, Feb. 24 at 7 p.m. in the Library’s meeting room.

Sponsored by the Friends of the Culpeper County Library.

LET’S EAT! Seek ye the kingdom of Vermont for a taste of heaven There is a kingdom just a day away from you. You will not need a passport to get there, but rather - a Subaru. Having driven through more than a foot of fast falling “Yankee dandruff” just a week ago (and experienced temperatures in single digits), I can promise you that four wheel drive is better than front wheel drive and that the kingdom is real.

New Virginia DMV payment plan eases penalty fee Legislation effective January 1 has enabled the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) to allow motorists whose licenses have been suspended for driving without insurance to pay the statutory penalty fee in installments and restore their privileges to drive.

According to Virginia law, a motorist with an uninsured vehiclerelated suspension must pay a $500 fee for each violation. Legislation sponsored by Delegate Greg Habeeb allowed DMV to establish a new payment plan program which allows qualifying customers to pay the fee down over a period of three years -- instead of all at once. Customers can legally drive while paying down their penalty fee. More than 600 people have already entered into the payment plan program.

“We’ve gotten a lot of positive

feedback from customers enrolling in this new program. Many are grateful that they are now able to pay the fee in installments, rather than in a lump sum,” said DMV spokesperson Brandy Brubaker.

“The law change gave us the flexibility we needed to be able to accept payment of the uninsured motorist fee in installments, and we are happy to offer this new option to our customers.”

Under DMV’s new uninsured motorist fee payment plan: Eligible vehicle owners must pay a $25 administrative fee, have no other outstanding suspensions, and pay the reinstatement fee in order to enter into the plan.

Eligible vehicle owners must pay a minimum of $25 a month per vehicle by the due date. The balance must be paid in full within three years.
