Hutchins runs for fifth term on school board

Elizabeth Hutchins is seeking her fifth term this November for the Stevensburg District seat on the Culpeper County School Board.

She is opposed by Marshall Keene, a sergeant in the Culpeper County Sheriff’s Office.

Hutchins said that her 16 years of serving the community has given her insight into what the Culpeper education community needs and feels she still has much to accomplish if elected to a fifth term.

“I still believe I have a lot of experience and knowledge to give,” she said, pointing out she is the the longest tenured member of the school board. “Education has always been a passion for me.”

It’s been a family affair as well, as most of her immediate family are educators. She taught full time for 10 years at Culpeper Middle School and was a substitute for 10 more. Her husband Ron worked as an educator for 43 years. Her background in education has helped her understand the needs of teachers in the classroom and be able to relay that to the public.

One of her latest passions is expressing the need the need for Career and Technical Education.

“We’ve been talking with the Board of Supervisors in our joint committee about CTE opportunities and the potential for a new CTE building,” Hutchins said, pointing out that the possibility is still a ways down the road. “I think it’s important to discuss that college might not be for everyone and we have to provide the students with the skills they need to go into the workforce.”

Hutchins also talked about the state possibly restructuring high school to make it more like college, having students take basic classes in the first two years and then having more in depth classes in the final two years of high school.

“We want to be careful with this, the kids are still young,” she said.

Hutchins discussed the growth in the county, pointing out that the need for new schools aren’t there at the moment but pointed to older schools such as CMS and Sycamore Park as needing renovations.

“CMS was built as an ‘open school’ and those areas are closed now,” she said. “That (renovation) could be more costly since the building would have to be reconfigured.”

A long time advocate for the arts, Hutchins said that Culpeper County’s programs are not under threat of being cut like other school districts. The emphasis on the arts and programs such as the Gravity Challenge with the Piedmont Area Soap Box Derby and E-Squared with Career Partners are some of the positive impacts the community has had on the district.

“I think that’s critical, the

RICH CROWLEY’S SNAPSHOT OF CULPEPER

PHOTO BY RICH CROWLEY

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE

I have photographed thousands of people in Culpeper for my various projects. I have to admint that this picture of these men was my favorite experience of all. Obviously I like people and these guys were most interesting. I heard that a group of Culpeper veterans met at McDonald's every morning at 6 am (ugh) for breakfast. It sounded interesting enough for me to make the sacrifice to be there, and boy was it ever! This is an impressive group. Left to right: LT Crossman who is 90 years old, served in Korea 195153. He was a Marine. Jim Monroe was in the Army 1955-57 as a combat engineer, then came back to the Peper and became a correctional officer. Taye Griffen is a sixth generation farmer who served in Viet Nam 1968-69. Taye flew many many helicopter missions and 23 of them were over North Vietnam. He mentioned several times that he did not know how he made it through. Finally is Don Richardson who served in the Air Force Engineering Crops 1966-71 and did a 12 month tour in Vietnam in 1970. All of these guys are amazing men and deserve our sincere thanks. ➤ Check out Rich’s blog at facesofculpeperva.blogspot.com and Faces of Culpeper on Facebook

the community has to be part of education,” she said. “None of this can happen without community support and involvement.”

Security is also important to her, considering some of the tragedies that have happened throughout the

country at schools. She points to the school district adding vestibules, especially at CMS, as evidence of being proactive.

“That entry way at CMS terrified me,” Hutchins said. “It took some prodding to get done, but having that

has increased safety.”

Hutchins, 61, hopes that her constituents will look at her record and see her passion for education.

“Education is what I was directed to,” she said. “This is where my talents have led me.”

CRC Barnstormers celebrate 36 years of competitive swimming ➤ 40% of the Barnstormers have qualified for the All Stars

By Leonard Banks

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

With three Tri-County swim meets under their belts, the Culpeper Recreation Club Barnstormers are thrilled to get the 2017 summer swim season underway.

The club is a member only, volunteer run organization - with a 25-meter, six-lane pool. Located off the beaten path in the rural foothills of Culpeper, the Barnstormers are celebrating their 36th year of competition. With 49 members, the Barnstormers are the smallest team in the Tri-County League.

With a vast amount of coaching and swimming experience, first year Barnstormer head coach Drew Kelliher is a firm believer that practice will ultimately change an otherwise average swimmer into a highly competitive swimmer.

Optimistic that the program will ➤ See Barnstormers, Page 5

continue to make improvements, Kelliher said, “We’re 0-2 in our meets, but at the same time I am seeing a lot good technical improvements from our swimmers.”

Peering into the Barnstormers personnel, the team is made up of 51 swimmers, ages 5-18 years and covering all competitive swim disciplines. Included in the Barnstormers are swimmers who swim yearround.

“Actually a number of these swimmers swim on various travel leagues, as well as, some swim on their high school teams,” CRC Barnstormer Chairperson Doray Walker said.”Many of these swimmers see their summer time swim season as a more relaxed fun social time.”

Currently, 40% of the team have improved their performances with cut times and qualified for the elite Tri-County All Stars.

“Improvements are due to coming to practice and listening and

using what I’ve said to make improvements,” Kelliher said.

With a short break approaching due to the upcoming Fourth of July week approaching, the Barnstormers will return to action on July 11 against Tri-County rival, Fauquier Swim Club. From May 30 to July 22, the season is fast. All swimmers participate in either All-Regionals on July 19, at Orange Swim Club or All Stars on July 22, at Fauquier Springs Country Club.

The Tri-County Swim League is made up of the following teams: Culpeper Recreation Club, Orange Swim Club, Fauquier Swim Club and Chestnut Forks Swim Club.

A prerequisite for All Star competition is that the swimmers must make a cut with a particular stroke during the season in his/her age group.

On July 22, from 6 to 11 p.m., the Barnstormers will feature their annual awards ceremony. Along with food and drinks, the club will end the evening with a late night swim.

Sweat poured off Elianna Caro’s brow.

Under her pink hat, her dark eyes narrowed as she worked to help clean up the dirt being thrown back by her fellow workers.

This was her vacation.

Caro, 15, was one of 800 teenagers from the Catholic Diocese of Arlington who helped serve the underprivileged in nine Virginia counties during WorkCamp 2017.

A native of King George and a 10th grader at St. Michael Archangel, Caro, 15, donated $500 to have the opportunity to

help others this summer.

“I can go on vacation any time,” Caro said. “These people don’t have as much as we do, so helping them is the least we can do.”

Caro was one of about 15 teens working in Culpeper County Monday afternoon, at the home of Kristal Kissenberger, off Browning Road in the southern part of the county near Orange.

“They’re definitely happy to have us here and we’re happy to serve them,” Caro said.

Kissenberger said her mother was instrumental in helping have the three crews of Catholic teens come out and work on the house she is renting to own.

She’s lived in the home with her husband and three children and said that “little hardships,” have led them to not keep

Culpeper Times • June 29-July 5, 2017 ➤ WorkCamp, from Page 6 it up as best they could.

She said they reached out through Orange Social Services and were connected with the WorkCamp group, who arrived on Monday and immediately began working on refinishing the roof, putting in new windows and building a deck and a cover for the deck.

“I think it’s a win-win for everybody,” Kissenberger said. “I can understand helping someone in the community. I’m more apt to help someone else than do something for my house. It’s great to get to know new people. I’m very grateful for all the help.”

For the teen volunteers, the mission is two-fold. It’s to help those who need it and to help become closer to God. For Caro, she said the few hours that they had already spent working outside had already deepened her faith.

“Beforehand, I’ll admit I didn’t really feel like God was near me,” Caro said. “But helping out these people, we’re almost like we’re God’s helpers. It’s helping bring me closer to God because I feel like he’s closer to me.”

She also formed a bond with her teammates, laughing and joking with Gabi Yousef. Yousef, 17, of Great Falls and a senior at Langley High School, said that she wasn’t a regular at church but the opportunity to volunteer during the summer called to her.

“At home I only go to church occasionally, here since I’m surrounded by it, it helps me understand it better,” Yousef said. “I’m hoping to grow closer to God and I want to be able to participate more and be more hands on in a group.”

At home, Yousef volunteers regularly because she likes to give back. She wasn’t as well versed with power tools, but like the others in her group she was learning. And when they weren’t working on the house, they busied themselves by pulling weeds and helping wherever they were needed.

Yousef said that being surrounded by like-minded teens helped strengthen her faith.

“I’m surrounded by peers, that helps a lot because they speak my language,” Yousef said. “It’s peer pressure in a good way.”

This was the second year Morgan McNutt, 15, a junior at Bishop Ireton High School has participated in WorkCamp. She said last year’s experience helped bring her closer to God and now she wanted to continue to build that bond and help others.

Morgan McNutt, 15, Alexandria, Bishop Ireton, 11th grade “It just really makes me happy to see I can do for others,” McNutt said. “The best kind of love is when you can help others. It’s just nice to be able to help them out, even doing the smallest things for them.”

KEEP UP WITH THE TIMES Pick up you free Culpeper Times at over 300+ high traffic locations in Culpeper, Orange, Madison, Remington and Warrenton.

It’s that mindset that impresses the adults charged with leading the teens. Jeff Conner, of Falls Church, said that the crews are matched up with contractors based on the level of work needed on a home. Each crew consists of five or six teens and an adult leader. Three crews were dispatched to Culpeper and it was like watching a swarm of bees converge over the projects - busily digging with post hole diggers for the foundation to the deck.

“It’s inspiring to see the level of enthusiasm the kids have,” Conner said.

He said that the mantra of WorkCamp is to “make homes, warmer, safer and drier.”

He said that both the teens and the homeowner benefits from from the experience.

“I would say it’s very important for both those audiences,” Conner said. “For the kids participating, it’s a great opportunity for them to understand the opportunity to serve others. For the residents, we hope that it helps improve their lives a little bit.”

Father Joseph Farrell, parochial vicar from Our Lady of Hope in Potomac Falls, said that when he was a teen, he didn’t participate in anything like this.

“I wish I had been,” Farrell said. “I discovered my vocation after coming back to the church in my 20s. The hope is to get these kids engaged so they don’t spend that time away. My goal would be to give them that inspiration now, to make their faith their own.”

The teens raised more than $500 each to be able to have the opportunity to participate in WorkCamp and that money is donated to the projects they work on.

Farrell said that the diocese is working to connect the teens more with charitable projects closer to home.

“The Catholic church is the largest charitable organization in the world,” Farrell said. “So we have missions all around the world. We tend to focus a lot of our efforts in other parts of the world. But now we see the value of getting kids involved in the local community. Especially in Northern Virginia, I don’t think a lot of the kids realize there is poverty not far from where they are. They don’t have to go very far to do mission work, and that stays with them.”

For Scott Kilmer, 19, of Arlington who will be attending William and Mary in the fall, this project has already brought him closer to God. Part of that connection, he joked, was because the teens were without phones or other electronics during the week.

“I’ve always believed to God, but definitely more this week,” Kilmer said. “It’s going to sound corny, but there have been little moments this week where God is looking out for me. I just wanted to come here and make a real difference in someone’s life.”

HOME & GARDEN It’s been a little more than a year since I escorted a large eastern ratsnake out of my house, and I had yet to see another here — until last week.

I was sitting in my living room, working on my computer, just as I was last year (see my June 2, 2016, column). Out of the corner of my eye, I was watching hummingbirds visit my feeder, which is hung under the eaves above the deck and I can see from the couch. Suddenly, I heard a thump from the direction of the feeder and, looking up, saw a hummer taking off.

My first thought was that it was about time for an eastern ratsnake to show up, and I wouldn’t put its trying to get up to the feeder via the gate below it.

I went outside to check and, sure enough, on the top step leading to the gate was an eastern ratsnake, about four feet long

➤ Snake, from Page 8 — not as big last year’s intruder but big enough to go after the hummers.

I had a couple of mice show up in the house last week, which I have since trapped out, so it could be the snake was looking for them. But I was pretty sure the thump came from the snake, and these amazing, athletic climbers rarely fall unless they’re making a grab for prey and miss. With the feeder more than two feet above the gate, and the hummers flying even closer to it, I could see the snake make a bold try and miss. I’ve seen this snake species rear up so it’s almost “standing” on the tip of its tail, albeit briefly.

I stared at the predator. The snake apparently decided the jig was up and headed under the steps. I went inside to get my camera and then went to see where it had gone. I also wanted to make sure my dog, Mollie, who was outside, didn’t find the snake first, although she likely would have just barked at it.

I think Mollie was bitten by a copperhead last year, judging by her behavior at the time. She had been gingerly pushing her nose into the tangled undergrowth and downed trees in the forest edge next to my yard and then jerking back. She yelped at one point and came back with a swollen muzzle. At the time, I figured she had just stuck her nose into a wasp nest, which she is prone to do in attempting to eradicate all buzzing things on the property (bees, gas-powered trimmers,

HOME & GARDEN

mowers, etc.). Since she was breathing fine and seemed okay otherwise, although looking a bit comical, I wasn’t too worried. It was only after the swelling went down the next day that I found what looked like snakebite marks near her nose.

The snake by this time had worked its way around to the driveway side of the house and was lying, doubled up, on cables that ran along that side. With Mollie moving closer, nose to ground, I wanted to alert her to the snake above before they got into a confrontation. I pointed to the snake and said in a very calm, reassuring voice, “Snake — it’s okay.” I do the same thing for anything I don’t want her attacking, which is pretty much all wildlife.

Although Mollie often appears deaf to this cue when it comes to bees and wasps, she’s getting better with other wild things.

She rarely has engaged other wildlife physically anyway, just barks at them — loudly, and usually until they leave the property — which is more of an annoyance to all of us living here, wildlife and human, than a threat.

She tentatively barked at the snake a couple of times, then took my cue and then watched quietly while I photographed it. The snake kept its eye on the dog but didn’t seem to be bothered by my snapping away just a few feet from it. Mollie and I went inside, and the snake disappeared not too long after that.

Seeing the snake was a bit of serendipity. I was about to write about

An eastern ratsnake hangs around on some cables along the side of Pam Owen’s house. another ratsnake this week, but not where I live. I had sat down earlier in the week with Bruce Jones, to get some help identifying wildflowers in photos I’d taken at his place in spring of 2016.

Bruce and his wife, Susan, started naturalizing their property decades ago, and it’s full of spring ephemeral wildflowers, among other woodland, wetland and meadow native plants. A few years ago, they turned the property into the Jones Nature Preserve.

Before we got down to sorting through my photos, Bruce wanted to show me some wildlife shots from the motion-sensor cameras he’d set up on the property for that purpose. Coyotes, bobcats and even an owl catching a meal were featured, but it was one taken in May was particularly interesting — a

red fox carrying a large eastern ratsnake in her mouth. Bruce said he’d checked with a herpetologist, who thought the snake was still alive.

The fox was likely taking the snake to its den to feed to her cubs.

While I know most canids are omnivores and opportunistic when it comes to the prey they choose, I’d never seen a fox with a snake, and taking on one this large was bold and ambitious, traits also common to the prey she was carrying. © 2017 Pam Owen Pam Owen is a writer, editor, photographer, and passionate nature conservationist living in Rappahannock County, in the Blue Ridge Mountainsns of Virginia.

Feeling Stuck?

Change is hard.

But you can embrace and promote change better if you apply some essential principles.

Our new teaching series on change will draw from Harvard Business Review and biblical scholarship to shed new light on Joshua’s leadership in the Bible. Joshua was a legendary change agent. When he took over, Israel was a band of tribes wandering the desert. He formed them first into an army, and then into a nation.

If you are looking to break a bad habit or make good habit stick, this is the perfect series for you!

As we look at scripture and modern research, you will learn how to train your brain for change, be a realistic optimist, seize the day, and motivate others to change.

Embrace this change at 11 am, Sunday, July 9 at The Salvation Army’s new Center for Worship and Service at 133 E Culpeper St, Culpeper, VA. You can expect relevant teaching, passionate worship, and a warm welcome. Our mission is to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and to meet human needs in his name without discrimination.

Redefine You program empowers Culpeper community ➤ The county now has a new haven for people in need

By Leonard Banks

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

Debra Yarde’s life-changing ministry, “Redefine You” has come to Culpeper.

Every Thursday at 7 p.m., at 118 East Street, Christian Community Center, the doors are open for anyone interested in life renewal.

Yarde’s Christian based ministry will rejuvenate the downtrodden and strengthen their self esteem.

“My passion in my heart is to bring the family back to healthy and wholeness using biblical principles, teaching women life skills, training, and empowering them to know their value and worth,” Yarde said. “We want to do more than just empower people. We want to get them back to loving themselves, and knowing who they are in Christ and being all they can be, according to the word of God.” The self empowerment values

taught by Yarde are concepts experienced during her earlier years.

“This journey of mine started years ago,” Yarde said. “It started in a world where I was big and bad enough to do anything I wanted to do and then God came in. As always, he makes all things new.”

Originally from Madison, Yarde’s ministry is based in Orange, where she co-ministers with her parents, at the Church of the Living God. Whether it’s a relationship or job related issue, Yarde believes that the core issue in the fight against mental abuse begins with the person themselves. By verbally opening up in a room filled with people of similar problems, Yarde believes that it is the first step towards personal empowerment.

“We want to bridge the gap and take the barriers of division down and bring the community together,” Yarde said. “Our values and morals are on the line, and we want to bring the family to wholeness.

According to Yarde, until the hidden inside mental issues are ➤ See Redefine, Page 11

➤ Redefine, from Page 10 exposed, people will exist with an invisible mask.

“There are many people walking around with that mask,” Yarde said.

“There are so many people hurting in our community. You see them, they’re smiling, but in the inside they are hurting--because they don’t know how to say ‘I need help, I am reaching out, I am ashamed, or they are embarrassed.”

The Redefine You program provides the community a safe outlet to verbally air their frustrations without the fear of being judged.

Throughout her life experiences, Yarde has seen a wealth of personal frustrations.

“I had one lady walk in here last week and she was really going through something,” Yarde said.

Yarde helped resolve the person’s problem by simple show of human compassion.

“It was a matter of me showing that love to her and letting her know that she can make it and she can break free from the bondage that she is in,” Yarde added.

The program is now entering it’s fifth year, and growing stronger with each passing help session.

“It just felt right in my spirit to open it up here (Culpeper) and when the community came in this space, I said to myself, OK, here we are,” Yarde said.

Hundreds turn out for Bowling for Seniors

By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

Bowling for Seniors had its largest turnout ever this year.

More than 160 bowlers helped raise funds for Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services June 24, showing huge support for seniors in Culpeper, Fauquier, Madison, Orange and Rappahannock counties.

Lola Walker, volunteer and aging services manager for RRCS, said that all money raised by the fundraiser goes toward aging services.

“Every year we do satisfaction surveys, these folks tell us how important the senior centers are to them,” Walker said. “Not only do they get nutritious meals and great

programming, but they get to meet friends and stay social in the community.”

Ray Parks, director of aging and transportation services for RRCS, said that the bowling fundraiser is essential to generating funds for the five county senior program.s “It is absolutely vital, we provide as many services as we can,” Parks said. “In order to make our budget we rely on fundraising for all of our programs. What this does is contribute toward local funds that goes into our services.”

Parks said that about half of the funds for aging services come from state and federal funds. The rest of the money is raised through fees, grants and fundraising.

“To have the local resources to keep these programs going, takes a lot of fundraising,” Parks said. “This is a big part of that.”

The event also honored the many volunteers who help with seniors in the community.

“A big part of what we do is supporting our volunteer base,” Parks said. “Without which we wouldn’t be able to provide these services either. And a lot of our volunteers are seniors, that get the benefit of the meaningful engagement of the work they do.”

Parks also recognized the churches, local government and local nonprofits that help contribute to the senior programs.

“Each of our senior centers in the five counties are the focal point of our services,” Parks said. “We do offer a lot more services than the senior centers, but that is the face of RRCS for aging services."

Gladys Williams, director of the Culpeper Senior Center, is the face of the Culpeper organization. She gushed about the response the annual bowling event had this year.

“It’s one of the most important days of our lives,” Williams said.

“This way seniors get to see with their own eyes what the community comes together to do for them. Sometimes they get the idea that now that they’re getting older, they can’t give back and we’re really not important.

This let’s them know they are really important.”

Members of the Culpeper Town Police Department helped MC the event and interacted with the seniors.

“It’s great to show them that there is still stuff out here we can do,” Master Police Officer Mike Grant said.

“The community supports them and the police department supports them. The seniors are a wealth of information. The more we can give back, the better off we are.”

Payne’s woodworking shows seniors someone cares

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Wayne A. Payne looked at the five big pieces of wood in his storage room and thought “what am I going to do with these?”

He should have known that the Culpeper Senior Center would find a use for them.

The five large pieces of wood, originally milled in 1933 for his father, now hang at the Senior Center with the names of almost 500 donors who helped make the recent renovations at the center possible.

Payne sanded and finished the wood and then made a template to put all the donor name tags on the plaque.

A long time woodworker, Payne has a full workshop in basement where he churns out walking sticks and palm crosses made out of oak, cherry, walnut, chestnut, cedar or whatever wood he can find.

“I used to make doll houses all the time,” Payne said. “It took three years to make those, so I got away from that. Someone gave me a palm cross one day and I thought it would be a good thing to do.”

A member of the Oak Shade United Methodist Church Men’s

group, he estimates he’s made more than 2,000 palm crosses which have been distributed world-wide. Many of his crosses go to service members who are about to travel overseas.

He’s made more than 150 walking sticks, which he creates by using a broom handle machine at Field Day of the Past in Richmond and then finishes them in his workshop.

He gives all of his creations away, many to the seniors he sees at the Culpeper Senior Center.

“The smile they give you and the thank you, makes you warm all over,” Payne said.

Gladys Williams, director at the senior center, said that her seniors love when Payne comes and appreciate his work.

“He’s done a lot for the seniors,” Gladys Williams said.

The UMC Men run errands for Williams and donate their time to grilling meals for the seniors. It just made sense, then, for Payne to donate the wood needed for the donor plaques.

“I didn’t have any use for it,” Payne said. “I was trying to figure out what to do with it and Miss Gladys said about needing a spot for 300-400 names. I said that would be a good spot for that plaque.”

Payne made a template for the name tags and then taped them onto the wood plaques.

He said the woodworking helps keep him busy.

His wife Faye passed away in 2014 and the woodworking hobby allows him to pass the time.

“It gives me something to do,” Payne said. “It’s almost as easy to make 50 of those palm crosses as it is 8-10.”

Payne, who will be 78 next month, said that he enjoys being able to help the seniors.

“Just to see them treated like human beings,” Payne said. “These people appreciate it a lot.”

For Williams, she knows she can count on the Oak Shade men for anything she may need.

“I do not know what I’d do without all of those guys,” Williams said. “They’re just wonderful.”

Williams said the seniors appreciated the plaques and comment on the workmanship all the time.

“They love it,” Williams said. “It makes them feel special, knowing someone really cares.”

Aging and Memory: What's to be expected as we age?

AGEWISE

Each day at the Alzheimer’s Association, we answer the phones to a concerned and worried public.

“I’m worried about my memory.” “I think my Dad has Alzheimer’s”.

“What should I do about my sister?”

“My mother’s confusion is just normal aging, right?”

With so many stories on the news and internet, it can be daunting trying to get accurate information.

Have you ever lost your keys?

Or, parked your car at the mall and been unable to find it? Is this a sign of Alzheimer’s disease? What is dementia, anyway?

Losing our keys or not finding our car at the mall does not mean we have Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive, degenerative brain disorder that occurs gradually and affects memory, thinking, judgement, and behavior.

Memory loss and confusion are not part of normal aging. As we get older, we may slow down a bit, and perhaps lose the ability to multi-task the way we use to. But, some things improved as we age – such as wisdom, and vocabulary, for example. There can be many reasons for memory loss and confusion though. And, some things are treatable. For example, sometimes depression can mimic memory loss and cause confusion; treating the depression may eliminate symptoms.

But, memory loss that disrupts

Ellen Phipps

daily life may also be a symptom of Alzheimer's or another dementia.

Alzheimer's is a brain disease that causes a slow decline in memory, thinking and reasoning skills. There are 10 warning signs and symptoms.

Every individual may experience one or more of these signs in a different degree. If you notice any of them, please see a doctor and discover the cause of the problem.

1. MEMORY LOSS THAT DISRUPTS DAILY LIFE One of the most common signs of Alzheimer's is memory loss, especially forgetting recently learned information.

Others include forgetting important dates or events; asking for the same information over and over; increasingly needing to rely on memory aids (e.g., reminder notes or electronic devices) or family members for things they used to handle on their own.

2. CHALLENGES IN PLANNING OR SOLVING PROBLEMS - Some people may experience changes in their ability to develop and follow a plan or work with numbers. They may have trouble following a familiar recipe or keeping track of monthly bills. They may have difficulty concentrating and take much longer to do things than they did before.

3. DIFFICULTY COMPLETING FAMILIAR TASKS AT HOME, AT WORK OR AT LEISURE People with Alzheimer's often find it hard to complete daily tasks. Sometimes, people may have trouble driving to a familiar location, managing a budget at work or remembering the rules of a favorite game.

4. CONFUSION WITH TIME

OR PLACE People with Alzheimer's can lose track of dates, seasons and the passage of time. They may have trouble understanding something if it is not happening immediately.

Sometimes they may forget where they are or how they got there.

5. TROUBLE UNDERSTANDING VISUAL IMAGES AND SPATIAL RELATIONSHIPS For some people, having vision problems is a sign of Alzheimer's. They may have difficulty reading, judging distance and determining color or contrast, which may cause problems with driving.

6. NEW PROBLEMS WITH WORDS IN SPEAKING OR WRITING People with Alzheimer's may have trouble following or joining a conversation. They may stop in the middle of a conversation and have no idea how to continue or they may repeat themselves. They may struggle with vocabulary, have problems finding the right word or call things by the wrong name (e.g., calling a "watch" a "hand-clock").

7. MISPLACING THINGS AND LOSING THE ABILITY TO RETRACE STEPS A person with Alzheimer's disease may put things in unusual places. They may lose things and be unable to go back over their steps to find them again. Sometimes, they may accuse others of stealing. This may occur more frequently over time.

8. DECREASED OR POOR JUDGMENT People with Alzheimer's may experience changes in judgment or decision-making. For example, they may use poor judgment when dealing with money, giving large amounts to telemarketers. They may pay less attention to grooming or keeping

themselves clean.

9. WITHDRAWAL FROM WORK OR SOCIAL ACTIVITIES A person with Alzheimer's may start to remove themselves from hobbies, social activities, work projects or sports. They may have trouble keeping up with a favorite sports team or remembering how to complete a favorite hobby. They may also avoid being social because of the changes they have experienced.

10.CHANGES IN MOOD AND PERSONALITY The mood and personalities of people with Alzheimer's can change. They can become confused, suspicious, depressed, fearful or anxious. They may be easily upset at home, at work, with friends or in places where they are out of their comfort zone.

If you notice any of the 10 Warning Signs of Alzheimer's in yourself or someone you know, don't ignore them.

Schedule an appointment with your doctor. The doctor’s visit will likely include a thorough physical & medical history; blood work; a neurological exam; a good history from the person and the family of the ‘problem’; a complete medication review; a CAT scan or MRI or PET scan; neuropsychological testing – screening for cognitive changes; follow-up and counseling or at least a referral.

Clumsiness runs in our genes THE FINAL SAY

I always tell Mady we should have given her the middle name Grace - because she had none.

My poor oldest daughter takes after me. No athletic ability, no coordination and an inane knack of getting hurt at the most inopportune time.

This manifested itself last weekend as I was outside grilling. I bet you can see where this is going with that one sentence.

I was doing a roast on the grill on Saturday, so of course I was outside and the grill had been on for about an hour and a half. The girls had been playing outside but moved into the garage due to the intense heat, and as far as I could tell they were staying there.

Maura was riding her tricycle inside and playing with Play-Doh. That was “babyish” to Mady so she decided she was going to ride her bike.

As I was checking the temperature on the meat, making sure that it was still juicy but burnt enough that my wife would eat it, I overheard a conversation.

“Move your dumb tricycle,” Mady said.

“No,” came her stubborn sister’s reply.

“Move it, now,” Mady argued.

“No,” said Maura, as she busied herself with the Play-Doh. “Wait a second, Mady and I’ll help you,” I said, probably realizing full well that Mady doesn’t have the patience to wait.

She didn’t.

She attempted to push her bike past the tricycle and promptly stumbled.

I had the grill lid up and a thermometer in my meat, and couldn’t

Jeff Say

see what happen.

Mady calmly put her bike kickstand down and walked into the house.

“Must be frustrated,” I thought, as I went back to grilling.

Then the screaming started.

“I burned myself on the grill,” Mady yelled as I could hear her riffling through our freezer trying to find an ice pack.

I ran in the house, to find her with a bag of frozen pearl onions on her arm.

“Oh, it couldn’t be that bad,” I told her, then lifted up the bag.

Yep, I was wrong.

I was quickly on a trip to find burn cream and gauze. Thankfully we had a fresh Ace bandage around - because Mady gets her klutziness from me.

A week prior, the girls had left to go Pennsylvania to visit Sarah’s parents.

Being left to my own devices on Father’s Day, I planned to treat myself.

I found a recipe for a sourdough biscuit bread and promptly started making dough Sunday morning.

Everything was going fine until I couldn’t get the sticky substance out of my food processor. Thinking I knew how far down the blade was, I reached in, starting to pull dough from the sides.

Now that I think back on it, it’s probably good I didn’t lean over too far or I would have started the processor.

Instead I simply impaled my right hand pointer finger on the blade. Quickly pulling it out, I thought I had escaped injury. No blood.

I spoke too soon.

Within seconds my finger started squirting and wouldn’t stop. I put peroxide on it (later finding out that you’re not supposed to do that anymore) but the bleeding wouldn’t stop. I called Sarah in Pa., and she gave me probably the worst advice. “Sit down, drink a coffee and keep pressure on it, you’re fine you wuss,” my always loving wife told me.

Thirty minutes later, I took the

towel I had wrapped around my finger off. Instead of stopping, the bleeding had only gotten worse. Soon, I was in MedExpress, getting glued back together while I cursed my dumb luck.

Of course, Mady would follow in my footsteps.

A few weeks earlier, I had taken her and Maura down to the tennis courts in our subdivision to ride bikes. It will be flat and safe, I thought to myself.

Mady can make safe dangerous very quickly.

Maura, who is still on training wheels, puttered around the court while my father-in-law and I looked on. Mady, meanwhile, has upgraded to a 20-inch bike and was feeling her oats.

She raced by her sister, zooming in between her and the poles that held up the nets at the court.

Mady cut between one of the poles and turned her wheel sharply - too sharply.

Going at a fast rate of speed, she flipped over her handle bars and almost in slow motion I could see her land almost face first on the pavement.

Thankfully, her Frozen helmet jutted out at the end and that took the brunt of the blow. Still, I could tell she hit her mouth and I expected her to come up with a mouthful of blood.

As I carried her off the court, I looked and didn’t see blood. We lucked out, I thought, as her dance recital for the Orange School of Performing Arts was the next day. I hurried her home to get checked out, that’s when we discovered that Mady’s bottom teeth nearly went through her top lip, a very visible hole formed where she must have missed going through by a few centimeters. A bruise started to form, and thankfully she was wearing a lot of makeup the next day.

So come last weekend, we were prepared for her burns and subsequent drama - that’s just Mady.

Sadly, she takes after me.

Unretired: Charlotte’s opens in Culpeper

By Jeff Say

PHOTO BY JEFF SAY

Charlotte's, located at 102 N. Main St. in Downtown Culpeper, will have a ribbon cutting Thursday, June 29 at 5 p.m. Longtime businesswoman Charlotte Brady is coming out of retirement with her store in Culpeper.

She operated a store by the same name in Warrenton for 26 years before retiring in 2005.

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

Charlotte Brady didn’t like retirement.

The longtime owner of Charlotte’s in Warrenton closed her business in 2005 and moved to North Carolina.

But the lure of fashion and customer service kept calling to her, and now she’s back - this time in Culpeper. She opened Charlotte’s in the middle of May and has been thrilled to be doing business in Culpeper.

“I decided about three years ago I wanted to come back to Virginia,” Brady said. “When I decided I was coming back to Virginia, a couple of years ago we looked at Culpeper but there was nothing available downtown space wise.”

Then she received a call from her friend Jessica Hall, owner of the Raven’s Nest, who told her about a space opening up at 102 N. Main St. She jumped at the chance to open up downtown, “Culpeper is a more vibrant downtown,” Brady said. “Warrenton, though I had a lot of my old customers, the downtown is just dy-

ing. Jessica found this and said you have to come to Culpeper. I jumped on it.”

Despite leaving Warrenton, she still has clientele who frequented her store there coming to Culpeper.

“The nice thing was when I notified all my customers in Warrenton that I was coming here, they all said they were so glad,” Brady said.

“Because they shop Culpeper more

PRICED TO SELL....$59,000 Original asking price $155,000.

than Warrenton. That made me feel good that I was making the right decision.”

She operated Charlotte’s for 26 years, so she has a long list of customers and a long list of connections. She put those connections to good use after she tired of retirement.

“I got bored,” Brady said. “I didn’t have any clothes to wear and I couldn’t find anything down there to wear so I started doing trunk shows.”

She started trunk shows in North Carolina and eventually made her way back to Virginia. A self-proclaimed “active person,” she missed the interaction with the customers. That led her to Culpeper.

She offers high-end, reasonably priced clothing and jewelry for women and tuxedo sales and rentals for men. She laughed when she recalled that her first customers in Culpeper were men window shopping for their wives.

“Some of the first customers I had were men checking it out for their wives,” Brady said. “When

men shop for their women they are usually very good. When they’re comfortable they are really comfortable.”

Her clothes are all designed and made in the USA and come from small designers.

“I look expensive, but I’m not,” Brady said. “I specialize small designers you don’t find in the department stores.”

She hand picks everything in the store, leaning toward colorful, unique designs and one-of-a-kind jewelry.

“I basically buy what I like, and my customers seem to like that,” Brady said.

She has a long relationship with Culpeper, having worked as an independent designer in Orange in the 1970s and selling her wares at Commonwealth Park on horse show days, “I just beat the pavement and I have a lot of contacts, it’s a good network,” Brady said.

Charlotte’s is open Monday through Saturday 11 a.m. to 6p.m. and Sunday 1 to 5 p.m.

BIZ BYTES

Culpeper's Lidl will open at 8 a.m.

July 13, as part of the company's second wave of new store openings in the U.S. The announcement comes as Lidl also announced plans to build a fourth regional headquarters and distribution center in Cartersville, Georgia.

“Since opening our doors two weeks ago, we have begun the journey of serving our customers with top quality products at the best possible prices every single day,” said Brendan Proctor, President and CEO of Lidl US. “We are excited to announce today that we will be bringing the Lidl experience to

Caroline Yi, of Culpeper, receives a Congressional Gold Medal from Con. Dave Brat June 21. even more communities in Virginia and North Carolina in a few short weeks. At Lidl, we are committed to providing our customers with a simpler, more efficient shopping experience with better choices at lower prices so they can shop with confidence.”

Con. Dave Brat presented the Congressional Gold Medal to Caroline Yi from Culpeper June 21.

Yi completed over 400 hours of community service at a local food pantry, various 4-H events, and at two local hospitals. She also spent over 200 hours improving her tennis and classical piano skills. To fulfill the

exploration portion of the program, she researched the history of Shenandoah National Park and participated in a camping trip.

This is the highest honor Congress may bestow on a youth civilian and she was one of five individuals in Virginia to receive the recognition this year. This non-partisan program was founded in 1979 by Congress as a public-private partnership. Participants set goals in four areas, including: voluntary public service, personal development, physical fitness, and expedition/ exploration.

"I am confident the skills and experiences from the Congressional Gold Medal program will equip Caroline to be a positive influence in her community for years to come," Brat said.

“Working for the Congressional Award Gold Medal allowed me to push my boundaries and ultimately showed me the fruits of tenacity," Yi said.
