The State Theatre on Main Street has sat empty since September of last year with news that it was no longer in operation.

Executive Director Steven Barker had left town.

The marquee went blank and no further indications were given as to its future fate.

A letter posted on the doors of the theatre expressed sadness on the part of the directors. The State Theatre Foundation Board, left with debt and decisions to make, has been quiet.

Earlier this week it was learned that the renovated historic property may be for sale.

Andrew Park, a representative from United Country Real Estate confirmed on Tuesday, “yes, we have a client interested in putting it on the market.”

Park was interested in advertising rates in the Culpeper Times.

Headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri, United Country Real Estate is one of the leading, fully integrated network of conventional and auction real estate professionals in the nation. It specializes in unique rural properties including commercial properties.

The grand illumination of the State Theatre’s signage lite up Main Street in December of 2012 with a grand opening in the spring of 2013. The estimated $10 million dollar renovation and expansion were touted as all leading to grand things and a sure economic driver for the town and county of Culpeper.

Both of these festive events were followed over the years to its closing by a string of executive directors

and marketing folks, fundraisers, programs from film to plays to music venues to hosting the popular Culpeper Has Talent and Pampered Me Pink events. School children attended theatre camps and took classes. Give Local Piedmont used it as their headquarters one year.

Under Barker’s hand, a theatre group was briefly formed producing lively performances. The lobby has been filled with artwork from students and local artists. All apparently in vain as revenue could not match expenses.

Since 2013, other businesses located near the State Theatre, like Grill 309 and the Culpeper Center and Flavor on Main, anticipating to share in the new flow of traffic that the theatre would attract. There were evenings when restaurants on Davis Street had pre-theatre attendees dining before seeing a show.

When asked about these inquiries for advertising rates and what that might mean, a current member of the State Theatre Foundation Board who didn’t wish to be named, acknowledged that there have been discussions by the board to put the State Theatre on the market. The member said that large sums of money are currently owed to two principal investors and that they could foreclose at any time. While that action isn’t on the table, exploring selling the property is something that these lenders were agreeable with. Currently in a holding pattern, the member said that there is no animosity between these lenders and the board but a direction they agreed to look at.

When reached for a statement, State Theatre Foundation Board Chairman Jerry Whitlock, said, “we’re sticking with our position, there is no comment at this time.”

Veteran series garners cable station worldwide recognition

By Anita L. Sherman

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

Culpeper Media Network General Manager Jonathan Krawchuk is a happy camper these days. He learned recently that they have received two Telly Awards. Founded in 1979, the Telly Awards is the premier award honoring outstanding local, regional, and cable TV commercials and programs, the finest video and film productions, and web commercials, videos and films. Earning Bronze Awards in the Film/Video category, they took home recognition for their coverage of the 2016 Camp Fantastic and their recent collaboration with the Culpeper Times, War Veterans: History of our Heros.

For Krawchuk, who enters his tenth year as General Manager, these two bring to 12 the number of times that the station has won this award since 2004.

“It’s called Bronze - which many might automatically think of as third place - but actually with the Tellys there are only two places Silver and Bronze,” said Krawchuk noting that the contest is judged by a panel essentially of your peers across the nation and the world.”

Selected from more than 12,000 entries representing all 50 states and five continents, this year’s Telly Awards was acknowledged as one of the most successful and competitive in their history.

For Krawchuk, receiving this achievement in excellence is particularly gratifying.

RICH CROWLEY’S SNAPSHOT OF CULPEPER

“Yes, I’m happy...but the veterans series is a project that has evolved from a partnership, not only with the Culpeper Times and Anita Sherman, but all those who have made it happen...his technical director Jeff Stanfill, Keith Price who assists with coordinating interviews and the veterans themselves willing to share their stories.

The idea for the project began last year when Krawchuk discussed a possible collaboration with the editor of the Culpeper Times Anita Sherman who was already publishing a monthly feature Salute to Veterans in the local weekly newspaper. Both Krawchuk and Sherman were excited about the idea and to make it happen.

The videos serve two purposes.

They appear on the Culpeper Media Network website as part of the series War Veterans: History of our Heroes. Perhaps more importantly, they will be given to the Library of Congress Veterans History Project and become part of the national archives. Their oral histories shared for a lifetime.

“It’s gratifying to be recognized and even more so because of the process...this is a production made possible by a partnership with members of the community,” smiled Krawchuk adding, “and we’ll just keep going.”

Culpeper Media Network General Manager Jonathan Krawchuk and Technical Director Jeff Stanfill took home two Telly Awards for outstanding achievement in film/video. One of the awards is for their War Veterans: History of our Heroes series in partnership with Culpeper Times. Congratulations!

I have lived in Culpeper just a few months shy of 10 years and so it seems pretty strange that I am just now getting around to paying a visit to Jewell Tone Music. In my youth I took seven years of classical piano training and played rock and roll professionally for seven more. In other words, I am a musician and should have been dropping in to this business where they teach virtually any and maybe, all instruments plus voice. Here are two of the people I met, Crissy Morgante and Carla Jewell who teaches piano. The folks I have talked to have given me excellent recommendations and they were recently voted as Culpeper Times “Best of the Best for Music Store and Music Studio.” Jewell Tone Music is located at 608 S.Main Street and you can reach them at 540-317-1115.. ➤ Check out Rich’s blog at facesofculpeperva.blogspot.com and Faces of Culpeper on Facebook

So yes, people do get excited to work on these types of things. They’re willing to invest the time and the education to further their education with Continental.”

Those technological advancements has led to more sensors on the cars, and the Culpeper facility is the starting point for being able to react to what those sensors indicate. Culpeper produces the machine valve lock that is the beginning point for the electronic stability unit. That unit is able to brake the car or adjust the path of the car, depending on what the sensors see, Lane said.

“We talk a lot with our employees about the significance of the product that they make,” Lane said. “What we talk about here in the facility is how important our work is on a day-to-day basis because we are manufacturing a safety product. The product we manufacture every day helps save people's’ lives every year.”

ity, as Continental engineer Noah Gedrimas took them on a quick trip down U.S. 29 in an automated vehicle. The prototype on a Chrysler body is designed for automated highway use, allowing the driver to take his hands off the wheel, checking email or simply relaxing. The car uses five cameras and multiple sensors to keep track of its surroundings. The car is even able to switch lanes and can sense where other vehicles are.

“It’s been my dream to work with automated vehicles,” Gedrimas said, as he gestured with his hands, pointing out the many cameras in the car. “I have a lot of respect for what we do.”

As for driving without his hands, he said it’s amazing.

“It allows you to focus on the scenery,” he said.

During the anniversary celebration, Continental honored six employees that have worked at the plant for the entire 40 years. Paul Andrick, Ruth Campbell, Ursel Cloud, Judy Ruffner, Byrd Partlow and Patricia Lee received gifts for their years of service. Another 50 employees have worked at the plant for 25 years.

It was only fitting that Continental honored their past, as they look toward the future.

“There is continued investment in this facility and we’re trying to prepare ourselves for the next 40 years,” Lane said.

Wicked or soggy: Annual race run in the rain

By Marshall Conner

SPECIAL TO THE CULPEPER TIMES

Last weekend’s 8th Annual Wicked Bottom 5k could have been renamed the “Soggy Bottom 5K” yet the rain did little to dampen the spirits of the nearly 200 participants in the Kids Fun Run and 5K. A band of rain showers settled over the race just after the Kids Fun Run and minutes after the start of the 5K. In contrast to the prior seven events the race began and concluded in Lenn Park and the official times

were recorded electronically

by Race Works Timing. In previous years the race was held next to Old Vineyards historic farmhouse.

Culpeper Parks and Recreation reported 184 entrants in the 5K known for its scenic views and eclectic additions to the normal cross-country format. Despite the rain the event kept its fun tone. There was a saxophone player, wine tastings, massages and yoga to soothe runners before and after the run. Local childcare provider ➤ See Wicked, Page 7

Nearly 200 take off Saturday morning for the start of the 8th Annual Wicked Bottom 5k sponsored by Culpeper Parks and Rec. This year it started and ended at Lenn Park.

Culpeper Times • May 11-17, 2017

➤ Wicked, from Page 7 Kid Central offered facepainting and crafts.

The top overall male finisher was first-time runner William Snodgrass, 31, of Richmond with a time of 20:33.

“This was my first 5K so I’m very happy with my finish. I don’t really train that often. I run in my neighborhood,” said Snodgrass following the race. “I double knotted my laces and hoped for the best. My girlfriend told me about this 5K— she’s enjoyed running in it before. The scenery was beautiful even with the rain.”

The top overall finisher in the female division was race veteran Danielle Hardaway, 47, of Rixeyville who finished with a time of 23:51.

“I’ve been the top-female finisher six-out-of-eight times that I’ve competed in the Wicked Bottom 5K. It’s a great event and Culpeper Parks and Recreation Department does an excellent job organizing the race,” said Hardaway.

Standing next to Hardaway was her 11-year-old daughter beaming with pride and confidence.

“I was the third overall woman. It was about not giving up and having the moral support of my teddy bears,” said Bella Hardaway, daughter of the top female finisher.

“I think she will be a great runner in the future,” added her mother.

The race fulfilled a wide variety of goals for runners spanning age and experience.

Before the 5K, a ½ mile Kids Fun Run was completed. Dozens of children ran the course led by a friendly teenage guide wearing a cape.

Following the run three Culpeper brothers all with the last name of Franti gathered to compare stories about the run. The boys finished in their birth order, but the two younger runners promised that things might change in the near future.

“It was cool to beat my little brothers--it’s normal.

It’s great to win. I came in second once before,” said Jonas Franti, 9, who was the first kid to cross the finish line. His brother was second and closing fast.

“He has longer legs, but I’m going to keep growing and get him next year,” said 7-year-old Ewen Franti.

Finishing in the middle of the other runners was little brother Felix Franti, 4, who just smiled and said, “I’ll catch them someday.”

On the other end of the spectrum a couple in their 70s ran the 5K with their daughter.

“We finished and we had a wonderful time,” said S.V. Athavale and his wife Neela. “We were happy to represent our friends in the Silver Club. This is a very nice event.”

A strong presence from one of the area’s top new youth programs Girls on Run also offered dozens of young girls their first experience in a 5K. Girls on the Run is a program that encourages young girls from 3rd-8th grade to build inner confidence, rise to any challenge and go out and change the world for the better.

“Our program is growing locally and we are excited that many of our girls came out to run today,” said Kathy Butler, a council chairperson for the organization.

By any measure this year’s Wicked Bottom 5K is always a wicked good time.

The name Wicked Bottom

always evokes subtle notes of sin committed in a distant past, but this year’s run was all about good-natured healthy fun amid the rows of grapevines.

“It’s great working with the Kearney family of Old House Vineyards. The family was very flexible with the many changes parks and recreation staff implemented due to the dismal weather forecast prior to the Wicked Bottom 5K run.

Although the runners were a little soggy due to rain 10 minutes into the run, they all managed to have smiles at the finish line,” said John Barrett, Director of Culpeper County Parks and Recreation.

The race was organized

by Culpeper Parks and Recreation to benefit the Culpeper Recreation Foundation, a non-profit fundraising committee that helps provide additional funding for Culpeper County’s parks.

Medals were awarded to the top male/female finishers then additional medals were awarded to a wide variety of age groups ranging from 5-years-old to senior citizen status.

Many first-time visitors ask why the land between Salubria and Stevensburg was once labeled wicked.

In 1976, historian Mary Stevens Jones wrote, “Wicked Bottom is said to have received its name from the rowdy activities of the wagon passengers who often used the spring site as an overnight campsite.”

Because of its numerous inns and taverns in the late 1800s and early 1900s Stevensburg gained a rather shadowy reputation among local residents. Among the notorious pastimes of the day were horse-racing, rooster-fighting and gambling, according to historical accounts.

HOME & GARDEN

Time to plot your garden splash of color It’s officially spring. We have prepared our beds, weeded and fed our lawns. It's finally time to have some fun.

It’s planting season. The redbud and dogwood flowers are fading, the rhododendron and azalea in full bloom. Iris stretching out to welcome the sun and the sweet smell of spring hangs softly in the air.

I thought it would be fun to pass along some of my favorite planting groups for the landscape.

Putting together designs with plantings that bloom at the same time, need similar soil and light and have great color contrast in the garden is something I have been doing for more than 15 years. Even after all this time watching nature unfold each spring just amazes me. Here are some of my

OUTDOOR OUTLOOK

Donald Sherbeyn

favorite garden combinations.

Spring time garden Start with two red peony. Place them side by side about one foot apart.

Then wrap them with blue and white iris to create a trim around the peonies alternating colors 2-3 each. Not only will you get to start off every spring with a little patriotic garden firework but the foliage of the iris will help to hold up the peonies. As they mature together the site is spectacular. Using variegated foliage iris can add to the impact of this accent.

Early summer garden Do you have a Crimson Queen Japanese maple? Try trimming it with kaleidoscope abelia. Now this one does take a bit more work as the abelia will need to be pruned twice a year but the presence in the garden is well worth it.

The red in the Crimson Queen makes a great backdrop to the multi color foliage of the abelia. Add some Candytuft to the front of the abelia and you get a fantastic semi evergreen presence, a

white spring flower and another layer to the space.

Have a space out by the road you’re thinking of putting a new garden, or at the end of your driveway? Try this 4th of July garden Start with a Blue Rose of Sharon about 6' tall and prune off the lower branching to allow for at least 2-2.5' of clean main branches then plant seven red and eight white coneflowers around the base of the shrub no closer than 1.5' from the branching in an alternating pattern. Try the Milkshake for the white and the double scoop raspberry for the red. Tomato soup is also a beautiful red.

Early fall garden This one is a border that I think is great. Gold band liriope in a row spaced 1' apart, backed with Autumn joy sedum spaced about 2' apart. Pair this with a good evergreen backdrop such as the pjm rhododendron or some winter gem boxwood and anchor the edges of the garden with a few small red crape myrtles and you not only get

the fantastic fall showcase along the borders but you will get to enjoy a year full of blooms and textures.

Winter garden This one might be one of my favorite combinations to throw into a landscape design because without fail I will get a phone call or hear about the surprise someone got when they walked out into their garden in the winter. Red camellia japonica 'Bob Hope' paired with white Hellebores niger 'Double Fantasy. Both of these plants like a bit of protection from the elements and both do well in similar soil so care is kept simple.

There are some great colors and textures in the landscape so have some fun this month experimenting with bringing these plantings together to create a great accent in your landscape.

Good luck in your gardens this month.

Culpeper native Gary Walker has an idea that he hopes catches fire. This Saturday he will be hosting the first grilling contest held at Gary’s Ace Hardware in the Meadowbrook Shopping Center.

“I’m a convert,” laughs Walker when speaking about Traeger’s Wood Fired Pellet Grills. “When you taste the difference, you’ll see.”

When Walker learned that a

representative from Traeger was coming to the store to give a demonstration, he had an idea.

“I thought...let’s spice it up...by having a contest,” said Walker noting the grilling would be done in the open green space by the store and will be held rain or shine.

Grillmasters to date include Billy Frederick, the Bronesky Brothers and Travis Whitt. The public is invited to come, watch, cheer on, sample and vote for their favorite grillmaster. Whoever gets the high-

To add to the fun, there will be a live radio broadcast by WJMA and Walker is planning on having balloons for the kids.

Walker is known for coming up with creative ideas. His addition of a hunting/sporting section at the rear of the store is a hidden treasure of sorts if you don’t know that it is already there. While you may be looking for paint or gardening tools, you can find firearms, hunting paraphernalia, boots and waders as well.

T r a e g e r ’s grills are a buzzword these days and it will be an opportunity to see not only how they work but what kinds of taste they produce.

The grillmasters chosen all own one and can attest to their performance.

by Traeger but with a Walker twist it promises to be a fun, informative and tasty grill off.

REAL ESTATE Culpeper businessman paints a statement

By Anita L. Sherman

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

It was a few days before Easter and businessman Steve Corbin decided to color more than Easter eggs.

He sorted through his collection of various gallons of paint and had a contractor create a random checkerboard design on one of his properties on the corner of E. Piedmont Street and N. Commerce St. Since then Corbin’s ‘happy house’ as he refers to it has folks stopping, taking pictures and asking questions, what’s with this house?

The story behind Corbin’s decision goes back to an April 11 town council meeting where council agreed to uphold a decision by the Architectural Review Board to deny an application that Corbin submitted. Toward the end of last year, someone notified the

town that Corbin was in the process of installing windows at his property located at 314 S. East Street. He was told that he needed ARB approval to do that and quickly complied with an application for the 17 Amherst Plus brand vinyl windows.

Ultimately the ARB found those windows not in compliance with town ordinance, town council agreed and Corbin was left with windows paid for and already installed.

Sitting in his office, Corbin showed a photograph of the deteriorating previous windows and how he went to lengths to have the new windows match as closely as possible. “I didn’t get these at Lowes,” he said, “I had them custom ordered.”

Corbin asserts that the town’s Architectural Review Board has gotten out of control and is mismanaged.

When their decision was made to

Neighbors may be viewing Steve Corbin’s ‘happy house’ for awhile.

Monies that had been targeted for its renovations may have to go toward removing windows from another. deny his application, he was out of town and not able to speak. While they had a quorum the final vote to disapprove was done by three members: Chris Hamilton, Michael Lysc-

zek and Kimberly Trickett.

much power over property owners,” asks Corbin, “particularly when there are others in the historic district that have been allowed to have vinyl windows.”

Their decision to deny his application flies in his face. Since the town’s decision to uphold the ARB decision, Corbin has walked a good portion of the town’s historic district noting more than 60 homes that have vinyl windows including, according to Corbin, the chairman of the ARB Chris Hamilton and a town councilman Bobby Ryan as well as local churches, law offices and other businessmen.

‘What is fair for one should be fair for all,” said Corbin who believes that he has been singled out.

“I believe that I get along with all of the town staff,” said Corbin who

had particular praise for Director of Planning Charles Rapp. “He’s good to work with.”

The ‘happy house’ is occupied by a tenant that Corbin says doesn’t mind the colorful exterior. Corbin laughed.

“He tells me that he hasn’t had so much attention.”

Others might disagree.

“Speaking only for myself, I think while the property owner has every right to paint his house like this, it does create what an average person would probably consider an eyesore.

That’s unfortunate, because the only people likely to be hurt by this are the residents of the neighborhood who not only have to look at this unsightly house every day, but might even worry that if it stays like this it could impact their property values,” said town councilman Keith Price

➤ House from Page 14 who is saddened at the situation and is optimistic for an eventual positive solution.

While the ARB has design jurisdiction over the town’s historic district, Corbin’s property on E. Piedmont Street is outside of that area.

“The Town does not have any regulation over paint colors on structures outside of the historic district,” said Rapp.

Seen by many on council as a retaliatory move on Corbin’s part because of their decision, Corbin is adamant that he is making a point, one which according to Corbin, has the support of a number of local businesses that have sent him words of encouragement and support.

In the meantime, the colorful house stands.

“This has put a financial hardship on me,” says Corbin estimating that it will probably cost him upwards of $30,000 to have the vinyl windows taken out and replaced with approved windows, a list that has been supplied to him by the ARB. Disappointed and shocked by council’s action, in correspondence dated April 27 sent to Salem Bush with copies to town council members, Corbin writes. “While I am not happy with their decision [ARB] and Town Council decision on removing the new vinyl windows, I will replace them.

“I’ve made my statement so I’m hoping we can just let it be for the moment,” said Corbin adding that the ‘happy house’ could be a lot happier since his original plans were to have new siding, a new roof and new shutters but, right now, he’s not so incentivized.

Join Culpeper Renaissance, Inc. in historic downtown Culpeper directly in front of the Depot for the kick-off concert of the 3rd Thursday Summer Concert Series.

Aaron Martinak, 3rd Thursday Summer Concert Series Chairman, is eagerly anticipating the arrival of this year’s Concert Series.

“I'm really excited about this year's musical lineup for this year's Third Thursday concert series," Martinak said. "We have a great mix of fan favorites and some excellent first-time bands.”

The summer concert series begins on May 18, with J & The Band a Party Band from Virginia Beach with Vocals, Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keyboard, and a 3-piece horn section, playing many of your Top 40, Classic Rock, Beach, Motown, Oldies, favorites. Their music includes hits from Bruno Mars, Cee Lo Green, Pharrell Williams, Chicago, The Blues Brothers, James Brown, Paul; Simon, Billy Joel, Van Morrison, Steely Dan, The Doobie Brothers, Maroon 5 and many others.

Audiences always enjoy the wide variety of music played by the professional level musicians in this band. You are certain to have loads of fun when J & The Band hits the stage.

The festivities continue on June 15, with The Worx, an award winning mid Atlantic Southeastern group.

The Worx perform modern and classic rock-n-roll covers as well as original material with such energetic enthusiasm that everyone will be on their feet for this exciting show.

From their amazing head-turning classic rock-n-roll covers (you won't be sure you're not hearing the original artists) to their own crowd-pleasing hits, The Worx deliver an exciting show. Come to the Depot area ready to dance

and sing; you'll see why crowds across Virginia love The Worx.

July 20th features Band of Oz a Carolina Beach Band. The Band of Oz is one of the most successful groups in the Southeast, featuring a full horn section and a dynamic eight-member group. The entire family will enjoy the last sounds of summer during this classic beach music celebration.

Join us for our final concert of the summer on Aug. 17, with the high energy show from En’Novation. En'Novation is a highly talented Richmond based band made up of extremely wellseasoned singers and musicians that have decades of combined experience.

En’Novation performs hit after hit with stunningly smooth vocals, pitch perfect harmonies, and a high charismatic stage presence. Grab your dancing shoes; this is one concert Culpeper music lovers should not miss.

VIEWS Harnessing your headache: The nerve of it all DR. TOM NEVIASER

How on earth can an orthopedist treat headaches, you may ask?

If you suffer from headaches at the back of your head or at the top of your neck, the diagnosis may be as occipital neuritis.

Doctors refer to a particular nerve depending on what part of the body it serves. In this case, the affected nerve serves the lower back of the head, the occiput (OX-si-put), hence the diagnosis of occipital headaches.

These headaches occur when the greater occipital nerve is irritated as it emerges from the base of the skull on the right or left. This nerve runs toward the base of your skull, then quickly turns 90 degrees upward through small muscles to become subcutaneous,“under the skin,” giving sensation to the skin in this area.

What can be done to relieve these headaches? Various treatments are available: medications, heat, physical therapy,acupuncture, holistic therapy, and chiropractic manipulation, with varying degrees of success.

Your doctor will probably prescribe some or all of these same treatments.

Because patients with occipital headaches or doctors who see these people believe they’re dealing with actual “aches” inside the head or skull, the true diagnosis may not be made.

Some physicians do not believe in this specific diagnosis. I'm not certain why. The doctor may try a “shotgun” approach in the hope that one of

THEM BONES AND JOINTS

these treatments will take care of the problem.

If the doctor performs a thorough history and carries out a careful physical examination, he can generally pinpoint the painful area. A single instruction, “Point to the area of your pain with one finger,” may be all that’s needed. When the patient points to the anatomical location of the greater occipital nerve, it may well be the source of the pain.

In my practice, when a person complained of this off-center headache and pointed to this area, I often found a pinpoint tenderness there.

Other types of headaches— migraines, for example—will not exhibit pinpoint tenderness. Injecting this “trigger point”—an area of greatest tenderness—with a short-acting local anesthetic such as Lidocaine may cause the pain to vanish for a short period of time, thereby proving that this specific area is the cause of the symptoms.

Adding a refined steroid to this injection may reduce the inflammation or irritation of the nerve even longer.

Injecting this trigger point on the first visit can eliminate the need for other treatments, saving time and money and bringing immediate relief rather than allowing the pain to continue while other treatments are scheduled, waited for, and undergone without success, only to have the patient come back weeks or months later with the same symptoms. Longterm treatment may necessitate occasional injections followed by physical therapy; however, the injection usually did the trick in my hands most of the time.

The treatment goal of a doctor should be to make the earliest possible

diagnosis, followed by the most advantageous and effective treatment.

Sending the patient off for six weeks of therapy without a true diagnosis never made much sense to me. Eliminating the pain on the first office also gives the patient great relief and the doctor a feeling of accomplishment, and a mutually beneficial doctor-patient relationship quickly is established, even though the symptoms may return later.

Posterior Auricular Neuritis This is another neuritis similar to the occipital neuritis, Auricular (awRICK-cue-lar) refers to the ear and posterior means “behind”; therefore, the affectation is an inflammation of the posterior auricular nerve which is located behind the ear at the base of the skull. I know this entity exists because I have had it and despite antiinflammatory medications including oral cortisone, my pain, severe at times, was not relieved until the trigger point of tenderness was injected with a refined steroid and local anesthetic. The local anesthetic permits the physician injecting the area a quick feedback as to whether he was in the correct area. As for me, I could tell my physician that he had hit it directly because the majority of my pain was relieved within 30 to 45 seconds. Over the next few days, the pain dissipated and disappeared totally.

Although these neuritis problems are not seen routinely, they can be diagnosed and often successfully treated.

Learning from Walter Ray Williams Jr. ➤ Culpeper bowlers played with one of the greats

By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

A group of Culpeper bowlers got a once in a lifetime opportunity last Thursday.

It’s not often you get to learn from a living legend, but there stood Walter Ray Williams Jr. in Mountain Run Bowling Center - tablet in hand ready to film local bowlers and give his insight on how to hone their game.

Williams, a mainstay on the Professional Bowlers Association tour since 1983, has won more than 100 combined PBA titles.

He uses his five decades of experience to help teach bowlers at these seminars, this being the first in Culpeper.

Rich Wolfe, bowling pro at Mountain Run Bowling Center, has known Williams for years after bowling with him on the PBA Tour. After running into each other in Harrisonburg, Wolfe asked if Williams would be willing to stop by and teach in Culpeper.

That quickly set up a two-hour ses-

sion with 16 local bowlers.

“It is one of those opportunities that really is a once in a lifetime situation,” Wolfe said. “When I was bowling I didn’t realize that I basically had a front seat to watching dominance in our sport.”

Wolfe called Williams “arguable the greatest bowler of all time” and said that the 16 bowlers in attendance had a unique opportunity.

“This is a great time to pick his brain a little bit, write down some questions you may have in general,” Wolfe said.

Mountain Run Bowling Center owner Darien Anderson said having Wolfe on staff allows the center to be able to bring in pros such as Williams.

“It’s pretty nice to come here, with Rich’s connections with the bowling alley it’s really great for us to have this opportunity,” Anderson said. “He’s a good guy, but he’s a great bowler. If you sit down and think about what he’s accomplished, you can be a little awestruck. He bowls perfect games like it’s nothing. It’s a humbling experience.”

Williams is now on the PBA50 Tour (formerly the senior tour) and was passing through Virginia while on his way from a tournament in North Carolina to one in New York.

“I’m doing a little bit more of it,” Williams said of providing seminars.

“It works out better to be in some of the smaller locations like this where they don’t get the chance to meet some of the professionals. It’s nice to be able to work with people who are interested in learning a little bit more.”

He doesn’t gear his clinic to any age or experience level, using technology to help bowlers find out how to fine tune their game. After talking to bowlers, he individually videotaped them with his tablet, then was able to analyze their game in seconds with an app called Coach’s Eye. It’s one of the advancements of the sport that he has witnessed in his five decades of bowling.

“That’s something that is so nice to be able to do,” Williams said. “They had a little bit of it when I started but now it’s so simple.

“What you do and what you think you do are two different things,” Williams said. “When they first see themselves on video ‘it’s like wow, that’s what I’m doing?’”

It also helps to have a pro with more than 30 years experience breaking down their game. Williams said that the experience of competing in tournaments for almost 40 years

Walter Ray Willliams Jr. works with Alicia Marlor of Culpeper May 4 at Mountain Run Bowling Center. has helped him understand not only bowling, but horseshoes - the sport he started his dominance in.

“I attribute my bowling success to my horseshoes,” Williams said. The more I bowled the better I got, the better I got, the more I bowled.

But for the bowlers learning from him last week, he had one piece of advice that he valued over all the others.

“Enjoy it, have fun,” Williams said.

“Hopefully I’ll teach them stuff that will help them be a little better, and hopefully that will bring more enjoyment to them. The reality is that the guys that are really good enjoy it more for the competition.”

Culpeper Town Police launch ‘Hidden in Plain Sight’ ➤ Full program debuts May 31 at 6:30 p.m. at Culpeper United Methodist

By Anita L. Sherman

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

Attorney General Mark Herring visited Culpeper recently to get an update on what’s working at the local level to help combat the opioid overdose statistics.

One program, that will be introduced at the Open Minds event, held May 23 at Germanna’s Daniel Technology Center could make a difference.

The Culpeper Town Police are launching a new program called ‘‘Hidden in Plain Sight.” Patterned after a program now in use in Ohio, it’s a community awareness presentation to educate parents and caregivers about risky behaviors.

It’s more than literature.

It’s a hands on experience walking adults through an average teen’s bedroom looking for signs that their teen may be at risk for

alcohol use, marijuana, prescription drugs, illicit drugs, mental disorders, sexting or other behaviors that could be indicators of behaviors that need attention.

As an example, one trend that local law enforcement are seeing are ‘skittle’ or ‘farming’ parties where teens will bring an assortment of pills found in the house and dump them in a bowl. Party goers will grab three or four for perhaps a happy high.

“They could be anything from diet pills and vitamins to prescription drugs or illicit drugs,” said Dodson. “You don’t know what kind of reaction you’ll get mixing those pills and if EMS should arrive they don’t know what has been ingested.”

Participants will be invited to write down their findings, or clues, as they walk through a staged bedroom.

A PowerPoint presentation accompanies the ‘snooping’ exercise showing the various items and how they could be a tool leading to risky behavior.

“It’s about helping and arming parents and caregivers with more information,” says Lt. Jeff Dodson who, along with MPO Tim Sisk, are encouraged and optimistic that

Participants will walk through a staged teen’s bedroom taking notes of clues to items that could point to risky behaviors. risky behaviors that could lead to troubles down the way can be nipped early if parents know how to see the signs.

“We don’t see it so much as punitive measures but signposts where we could be called for advice or direction on where to seek help,” said Dodson. “We want to equip parents...give them tools... open up lines of communication with their teens.”

Sponsored in part from the Culpeper Wellness Foundation, the Culpeper Police Department offers the program without charge. It is for an adult audience. Young people are not permitted.

The program can be presented to any civic organization, parent group, church group or others where adults can benefit and help

the teen population.

“We’re hoping to pack the house,” said Dodson of the full debut of the program that will be presented Wednesday, May 31, at 6:30 p.m. at Culpeper Methodist Church located at 1233 Oaklawn Drive in Culpeper.

Referred to as H.I.P.S. the interactive exhibit designed to resemble a teenager’s bedroom contains more than 100 items which may be indicative of dangerous behavior.

This is accompanied by a PowerPoint presentation and discussion.

“For me, if this program can help one child from not getting into a destructive cycle, then we’ve had a good day,” said Dodson.

For more information and/or to schedule the presentation, phone 540-727-3430.

Pairing wine and food seems to be half of the job of a wine nerd. It is certainly one of the highlights of the profession.

When you find the magic of a perfect combination, one that is greater than the sum of its parts, fireworks erupt in your brain and your heart sings. Yet, with all of the emotion that is tied up in wine, there is a rather obvious pairing that is rarely ever thought of. What kind of music should you pair

with your wine?

On those occasions when conversation wanders towards the subject of wine and music, nearly everyone I mention it to falls into one of two extremes: either it sounds confusing and pointless (how can music change a flavor?), or it sounds so obvious that it doesn’t warrant discussion (don’t YOU play music when you make a nice dinner?).

The common ground between wine and music is fairly clear: emotion. Both art forms have the ability to create a vast ocean within our soul, calm and soothing here, tumultuous there. If the focus is the interaction of the two arts emotionally, as opposed to chemically (as it is between food and wine), we must learn to understand more clearly the effect that each has on us.

The first thing that pops into the minds of most people that I mention this to is classical music.

There’s the instant image of Mozart playing in the background as you calmly sip on your Cabernet Sauvignon.

But have you ever tried it? Go home and grab a rich, powerful red (I think I’ll try a Virginia Petit Verdot tonight), and listen to Mozart’s ‘Eine Kleine Nachtmusik.’ Soft and gentle, the music is relaxing, but the powerful red thrashes on your palate like a racehorse at a gate that just won’t open. Now, turn on ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.’

Suddenly, the wine bursts free of the cage and howls in impassioned anguish.

Wine can pair with food by contrasting the different flavors, or by matching those already there. With music, however, I have found that it should always match. The rich emotion of a powerful Zin needs the ‘Dies Irae,’ not the ‘Moonlight Sonata.’ The silky, seductive nature of

COURTESY PHOTO

Find a Chenin Blanc, like this beauty from South Africa, and pair it with Bach and Frank Sinatra.

Which do you think makes the wine taste better?

an Oregon Pinot Noir needs Frank Sinatra, rather than Metallica. A New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, all grass and lemon, begs for a tune that makes you think of spring, while a South African Chenin Blanc is calling for a piece that evokes calming ocean waves. Perhaps Bach’s ‘Prelude in C Major?’

I may have to experiment with that tonight, instead.

As it is with food, you have to try it to know what it’s like. Make an occasional habit of stopping to think about how the wine makes you feel, rather than simply what flavors you can find. For those of us in the industry, all maps, proteins, and terroir, it can be all too easy to view wine through a hard, technical lense every day.

Perhaps using music to draw out the passion behind the artwork can return us to that childlike sense of wonder that marks the beginning of our relationship with the delectable vino. Perhaps that magic will come more naturally to those who are spectators to the sport, who don’t already think of wine in terms of chemistry. This could be the best opportunity the industry has ever had for the laymen to lead the clergy, so to speak.

Only song will tell.

Now, where did I leave that Chenin Blanc? I still have to figure out if it needs Bach or Sinatra.

BABY JIM’S CELEBRATES 70 YEARS. It was in March 1947 that Baby Jim’s first arrived on the scene in Culpeper. Now, 70 years later it is still heralded as a local landmark and go to place if you’re hungry for a good burger, fries and milkshake. Speaking of fries, Baby Jim’s was voted the 2017 Culpeper Times Best of the Best for their fries. On any given morning, the parking lot at 701 N. Main is full as customers line up for a sausage biscuit or bacon and egg sandwich.

Owned and run for decades by the Jenkins family, son Collis Jenkins turned the reins over to Matt Corbin and his mother Ann Hume.

Ann laughs. “My first job when I was 16 was at Baby Jim’s. After 36 years working in customer service for Communications Corporation of America, she decided to take those skills back to Baby Jim’s. She couldn’t be happier working alongside her son Matt Corbin as they bring both keep the memories going. “It’s amazing,” says Ann of recent customers that were headed back to Maryland but stopped at their favorite eatery remembering it from years ago. “My favorite is hot dog, chili and cheese,” grinned Corbin who remembers his mother bringing it home time after time. While burgers and hot dogs are their mainstay, Corbin has added a variety of seafood offerings and look for a new one to come. No doubt they will be as are their fish, oyster and shrimp boxes. Traveling to the Northern Neck and licensed to crab, Corbin is adding seafood goodies to an already popular menu. And there’s more. Ann is baking up desserts like pound cake, pies and cheesecake. Ann can remember the days when the popular snack bar wasn’t open in the evenings but that has changed. They are open Friday and Saturday from 6 a.m. - 10 p.m.

Monday-Thursday from 6 a.m. - 2 p.m. Starting June 1 they will have a Kid’s Night where they are open till 9 p.m. serving up corn dogs and chicken nuggets. You can still see signage that says “No Loud Talking and No Foul Language” and folks respect that. But it’s still a hot spot and Friday and Saturday evenings are booming.

These days employees are sporting Baby Jim’s 70th anniversary T-shirts which are available for purchase. In a rush, place your order ahead.

Congratulations on your special place in the hearts of many!
