Jewell Tone Music keeps kids moving during summer

By Leonard Banks

FOR THE CULPEPER TIMES

The second time around is a charm for Jewell Tone Music.

After a successful 2016 summer season, the Jewell Tone Music company returned to Culpeper Baptist Church. Starting on Monday, July 31, 34 children from the Culpeper community have embarked on a journey into the cultural arts. The program’ hours were 9 a.m. - 1 p.m., Monday through Friday that included a 1 p.m. showcase on Friday.

After witnessing the summer program’s growth from 18 to 34 kids, co-owner of Jewell Tone Music, John Jewell is thrilled to be back for a second season.

“The basic idea was to start a music, drama, and movement camp for kids who are here locally,” Jewell said. “Our idea of being a part of the music school that we started here five years ago was giving kids an opportunity to learn about music at a young age.”

Among the notable skills that kids learn at the camp is the ability to learn the proper way to count rhythm and notes, crafts, and drama.

The social component of breaking barriers was the focus of the camp during the camp’s introduction period.

After the camp has had a full dose of getting to know each other, campers took part in a daily regimen of exercise, which ultimately help build their confidence and allowed them to focus outside of their comfort zone.

Another component of the week long summer event is the introduction of the preschool program. Scheduled to move into 203 North Main Street in the fall, the preschool program, led by camp instructor Jennifer Heelan gave the public a preview of its daily activities during the summer program.

“Our goal is to take them (preschool to kindergarten), get them introduced to music & movement, grow them up, and them ready in

During the drama part of the Culpeper Baptist Church summer youth camp kids focused o movement, creativity and a sense of whimsical improvisation, as they played the game “ippadippipdibop.” time for school,” Jewell said.

Creativity mixed with movement became a fun collaboration with instructor Grace Catherine and her class of enthusiastic kids.

“We are going to do different exercises that will focus on different techniques in drama, emotions on stage, stage direction, and getting a sense of stage presence,” Catherine said.

The first activity on Catherine’s class schedule was the

game known as “ippadippipdibop.” Kids learned to creatively react to sudden movement, while standing in a circle.

Throughout the first week, the instructors will perform for campers. On Wednesday, a 10-year old camper will take the stage and sing in front of her peers. Finally, on Friday, the camp will conclude with everything the kids have learned during the week.

As for the future, Jewell Tone Music will soon start a host of

special education programs at a potential new community center location. The location will provide a safe haven for kids to play music. The location will also include drama classes, rock and roll music, and improvisational group acting.

“The program will involve into a bigger picture, what we call the Culpeper Creative Community Center,” Jewell said. “It’s kind of like the idea of a YMCA for the arts.”

Windmore Foundation releases new book Windmore Foundation has served the Rappahannock/Rapidan area for 30 years. The mission of Windmore is to promote the visual, literary, and performing arts through awareness, participation, and education. Many fun-filled events are taking place to highlight the 30th anniversary.

To kick off the literary portion of the celebration, the writers from the Pen-to-Paper program of Windmore contributed to an anthology. The new book, In Other Words, is the fifth anthology published by the organization. Twenty-one authors contributed their humorous or poignant short stories, memoirs, and poetry. Some of the writers have published books and some are displaying their talents for the first time. In this book the subjects of love, sorrow, friendship, and inspiration are presented in true stories about animals, family events, and holidays. Fiction and futuristic works are entertaining, humorous, or mysterious.

Several people were instrumental in publishing this book. The editing team consisted of: Aaron Barlow, Caryn Moya Block, Fran Cecere, Dawn Latham, Cindy Grotz, Rose Lyn Jacob, Gary Misch, Carolyn Osborne, and Ann Rezelman. Black and white photographs submitted by Les Walters, Gary Misch, Fran Cecere, and Caryn Moya Block were used to illustrate some of the stories in the book.

The writers’ group, Pen-to-Paper, meets on the first Tuesday of the month at the Culpeper County Library at 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.

Windmore writers are excited to present a teaching day entitled: “Self-Publishing 101: You Wrote It, Now What?” This program will be presented on Saturday, Sept. 9 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Culpeper Baptist Church in room 313.

CULPEPER YOUTH COUNCIL SPOTLIGHT

Illustrator wins award for 'Buddy and the Chickens'

Caroline Yi

(Editor's note: This is the first in a weekly series highlighting members of Culpeper's Youth Council. Each week a new member will be featured in this spot, chatting about their hobbies, their reason for joining the council and how they can make Culpeper better. We look forward to meeting the Youth Council members and hope you do to!)

Age: 17 Grade: 12 School: Eastern View High School Hobbies: Baking, Cooking, Coding, Tennis, and Academic Team Why I joined Youth Council: I joined the Youth Council to make Culpeper a better place by promoting unity amongst students from different grades, schools, and backgrounds. I also wanted to learn more about how local government works, functions, and interacts with small businesses in the community.

How I can make Culpeper better: I wish to improve the relationship between small businesses and teenagers within the Culpeper school system. It is important, as responsible citizens, to understand and take part in the functions of local businesses. Ergo, I want to establish work-study programs, shadowing opportunities, or internships with local businesses and future community leaders, that is, the students of Culpeper.

As the Volunteer Committee head, I also want to implement more opportunities for young adults to give back to Culpeper through partnering with animal shelters, food pantries, and soup kitchens.

Promoting the spirit of volunteerism is important for the development of a healthy community because it fosters the growth of integrity, responsibility, and leadership. In summary, Culpeper Youth has the potential to unify, train, and create future community leaders.

Buddy and the Chickens is a sweet whimsical children’s story about Buddy, a Pembroke Welsh Corgi who searches for a friend among the animals on the farm where in lives in Palmyra, Virginia.

It received the National Award for Literacy Promotion from the National Society of Daughters of the American Revolution during their annual Continental Congress held in Washington D.C. the last week in June.

The book was written by Diane Inman, a retired elementary teacher from Jack Jouett Chapter NSDAR and illustrated by Pat Lattin, artist and art teacher from Culpeper Minute Men Chapter. It was nominated for the award by Virginia Chairman of Literacy, Gail Adams and District VI Director, Sharon Steo. Buddy belongs to Judy Surber, State Regent of Virginia DAR and her husband Blair.

Proceeds from the book benefit the State Regent’s Project of underwriting a conference room in Claude Moore Hall at the Robert F. Smith Center for the Constitution at Montpelier.

Buddy and the Chickens includes information about Virginia agriculture, a recommended vocabulary for grades one through three, and a teacher’s guide. It is also designed to be read to younger children. Surber said, “I am thrilled with the award and proud of the Virginia Daughters who made this possible.

The book fits so well with DAR’s goal of promoting education. It is being sent to other states and schools and will benefit so many as part of their education program.” National DAR Literacy Chairman, Lee Hunt, who presented the award said. “Buddy and the Chickens is well written and beautifully illustrated. It is a masterpiece that deserves national attention.”

The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution was founded in 1890 to promote historic preservation, education and patriotism. Its members are descended from the patriots who won American independence during the Revolutionary War.

Culpeper receives Virginia Main Street Merit Award Contributed story Culpeper Renaissance, Inc. was presented with a Virginia Main Street Merit Award July 12 for Best Downtown Public Improvement Project for their E. B. Wood Community Park project at the Virginia Main Street Downtown Intersections workshop in Winchester, Virginia.

“Our Virginia Main Street communities are truly making a difference in our beautiful downtown districts,” said DHCD Director Bill Shelton. ”In the last five years, designated Main Street communities have sparked more than $186 million in private investment in their districts, and as a result, there has been a net collective gain of 4,600 jobs across our Main Street downtown districts.”

This award is given to the municipality or Main Street organization that has designed and implemented attractive and sympathetic improvements to improve the built environment within a Virginia Main Street Program area.

Through partnerships, donations, many volunteer hours, and a Virginia Main Street Downtown

Improvement Grant, the E. B. Wood Community Park was completed and opened to the public on September 30, 2016. The park remediated a vacant lot created from the loss of a building due to the 2011 earthquake. The Park now serves as a valuable contribution to the character and image of downtown.

“We are honored to receive such an award for the work that this community has put forth. Partnership with the Wood family, volunteers, local businesses, and generous donors has created yet another vibrant gathering space for Downtown Culpeper,” said CRI Board President, Jonathan Krawchuk.

“This award, coupled with the constant community use of what was once a dilapidated empty lot, is a perfect example of what we can achieve with CRI, the town of Culpeper and the Culpeper community working together.”

“Culpeper Renaissance, Inc. has amazing volunteers, donors, and community partners. We thank them for making this project possible. The E. B. Wood Community Park has removed blight and provided a destination in its place by creating an appealing environment for all to enjoy in the heart of Cul-

New Culpeper County High School principal Daniel Soderholm considers himself the school’s greatest cheerleader.

His role as head Blue Devil is to encourage the students in the school, provide them with an avenue to better themselves and to help the educators lead the students in the right direction.

Sis-boom-bah indeed.

A native of Chesterfield and a gradu-

ate of Manchester High School, Soderholm always felt himself pulled to the education field.

His parents didn’t attend college, but encouraged their sons to do so.

Soderholm didn’t know how to go about it, so one day he went to the recruitment center for John Tyler Community College with $790 in cash in his pocket and said “I want to go to college.”

“I still remember paying my first tuition with a wad of cash that I had withdrawn over multiple days because my ATM card had a cap,” Soderholm said.

He later transferred to Brigham Young University and graduated with an education degree, returning to teach

➤ CCHS, from Page 6 at James River High School.

While in college, he thought about becoming a lawyer but the pull to teach was too strong.

“I found that most lawyers, especially earlier in their career, spend a lot of time just doing research for other lawyers,” Soderholm said. “I like working with people. I get energy from that.

“I like working with youth. I have a passion for it, I’ve seen the benefits of that in my own life. A lot of my volunteer service involved working with youth. I really enjoyed that aspect of things.”

Just a little under a month into his tenure at CCHS, Soderholm said he’s already been accepted with open arms.

“I’ve loved my time already here,” Soderholm said. “There’s an excitement, there’s a high degree of passion from the educators. I’ve told people there’s an ongoing hunger for success that I’ve seen.”

He calls Culpeper a “big small town,” pointing out the sense of community he felt the minute he moved here. He hopes to continue the high school’s legacy, and talked about the pride that parents have passed down to their children as they matriculate through CCHS. Soderholm said he’s enjoyed meeting the teachers at the school and is excited to help bring passion to the school.

“I think I can bring energy,” Soderholm said. “We’ve discussed things that can stay the same and things that we can improve upon.

"One of the reasons I came to Culpeper is Dr. Brads. His leadership is inspiring and it’s solid. The fact that he has a plan that shows continued improvement is inspiring. It encourages me to work with my staff to find those ways to get better.”

Soderholm said he has met with some student leaders, but has been especially impressed by SCA President Olivia Son. The two met to brainstorm ideas for pep rallies and homecoming spirit week and her enthusiasm and leadership im-

pressed the new head of CCHS. “She is particularly impressive, to see her leadership and to bring in other students to help contribute to plan for our freshman orientation,” Soderholm said.

“She’s only one, but as the SCA president that’s special that a 17-year-old would want to take on that role and can be counted on.”

Soderholm is also looking forward to working the career and technical education department, as he will supervise the group this year.

“I have a great passion for that,” Soderholm said. “There are so many opportunities for our students, I think that’s important to be a part of. That’s something I want to have my hands in.”

He also praised the JROTC program, which will be led by First Sgt. Tom Hamilton this year.

“The success we’ve had with our students being recognized on the national level - this summer alone we’ve had students recognized in Missouri, at Randolph Macon Academy and at Florida,” Soderholm said. “One of our young ladies win first place in the national fitness award.”

Soderholm referenced Ron Clark’s book “Move Your Bus” when talking about his plans for CCHS. “If you think of your bus as being Flintstone powered, so everyone is powering it with their feet,” Soderholm said.

“We have runners, walkers, joggers and riders. Everyone is somewhere on that spectrum. There are those people who are consistently our runners, they are always the strongest part of moving our school forward. When they come with new ideas and give students new opportunities, it’s my job to steer the bus in a way to allow that to happen.”

Soderholm, 38, is married to Brooke and they have four children who will be attending Culpeper County Public Schools.

“I’m really excited to be just here in general, I look forward to being a part of the Blue Devil family,” Soderholm said.

HOME & GARDEN Getting your garden ready for the fall Fall is a great time for gardening!

In our area farmers will tell you that they start planting fall crops “after the first soaking rain in August.” Keep that in mind, rather than a specific date to start planting your fall crops.

Some of the best vegetables to plant in the fall are the same ones that work well in early spring. Think leafy greens such as lettuce, kale and spinach. Broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, beets and carrots are wonderful fall crops. Sometimes seeds and small potted vegetable transplants are hard to find in the fall; the big box stores tend to be making room for snow blowers and Christmas lights. Traditional farm and garden centers will stock fall garden seeds

HOME & GARDEN

Culpeper Times • Aug. 3-9, 2017

➤ Garden, from Page 8 and vegetable plants in peat pots.

Just like in spring, always use a good organic fertilizer like Espoma Garden Tone.

If you have perennial flower gardens you can sometimes get a second bloom by cutting the deadheads.

Harvest the seeds from perennial flowers and scatter them in areas where you want to encourage additional flowers to grow next year.

If your spring-flowering and other dormant perennials are getting a little crowded, now is a good time to divide and transplant them. Always divide in the cool hours of the day and water liberally.

Fall is the time to plant spring flowering bulbs such as tulips and daffodils. They will reward you and your garden with color just when you need it next spring!

Almost any perennial plant does best when planted in the fall. Trees and shrubs are no exception. If you think about how our seasons run, we tend to get lots of moisture in the cool fall months. This encourages good root development. Perennials will be well established before they encounter the stress of the hot dry summer. When determining where and how to plant a tree, follow these guidelines: l Stay at least 15 feet away from your house, sidewalk, driveway, and

other trees. Allow for the amount of space that the mature tree will take up in and above your yard. l Dig a hole twice as wide and the same depth as the root ball. Position the tree in the hole so that it is in the ground at the same relative height as it was before transplanting. In other words, you are transplanting the tree, not burying it! l Fill the hole with a mix of leaf compost and existing soil. Add an amendment like Espoma Bio-Tone Starter Plus to the soil and compost mixture. l Stake the tree to give the roots time to establish themselves before they have to keep the tree upright all by themselves. l Water weekly for the first two years. l Put 2 inches of shredded hardwood mulch around the tree as far out as the drip line but away from the trunk itself. Always make sure that the root flair at the bottom of the trunk is still visible.

Establishing grass and feeding an established lawn is best done in the fall. Fertilize your grass in late September or early October. During this period of time the grass is green but doesn’t make a lot of top growth.

The nutrients from the fertilizer will help the grass plant focus on root development, making it much more drought-tolerant next July. If planting a new lawn, don’t skimp on seed. Use at least 7 lbs. of grass seed

Culpeper Times • Aug. 3-9, 2017

For the past two years, dribbling, passing, and shooting has been the summer mainstay for 60 plus Culpeper boys and girls.

The Culpeper Parks and Recreation sponsored clinic features Culpeper area youth, ages 5-14. The secret to the clinic’s success can be traced back to the unsung heroes who tirelessly devoted their time for a period of six weeks. Volunteerism come in many forms, and as for the clinic, their heroes came in the form of coaches, players, and Mount Olive Baptist Church.

Through the church’s generosity, it provided the water for the clinic’s six week stay, at Floyd T Binns and Culpeper Middle School.

Founder and director of the clinic, West Fairfax Board of Supervisor Gary Deal is adamant about the health and competitive athletic awareness of Culpeper community.

“We try to teach them the fundamentals of the game and let them play a little too,” Deal said.

Regardless of whether the clinic participant can raise a basketball over his or head or shoot from the parameter, Deal and his assistants are there to provide encouragement and hands on coaching.

“I love working and coaching kids,” Deal said. “I like to see our youth progress and learn the right techniques in every sport. If you learn the right techniques, and I don’t care what sport it is, you’re going to improve."

Aware of the financial hardships associated with raising a family, Deal purposely kept the clinic registration fee at $10 dollars.

“I either try to keep the cost down or make everything free,” Deal said.

“We also gave the kids free T-shirts

this year. We want them to come out mainly from a public recreation standpoint. The public pays the taxes, and they should get some kind of amenities from it.”

The clinic’s weekly practice is similar to the Culpeper High School varsity basketball daily regimen of basketball drills, instituted by Blue Devil basketball head coach James Thompson.

“We have these things called ‘everydays,’ they are simple drills that can do everyday; even if you’re not in the gym or not at home,” Thompson said. “We focus on the tools of basketball, such as passing, dribbling, shooting and rebounding.

Although there are simple drills that you can do by yourself, we did it from a team concept, where there are 5-6 stations set up, and players are moved every 5-10 minutes. This can be done by any age group.”

Whether or not the clinic will create future basketball superstars is forecast that only time will tell.

However, the realistic potential is embedded in the health benefits.

The clinic’s coaches have many different reason why they are passionate about providing clinic participants a foundation that they can build their basketball skills on. As for long time middle school and junior varsity basketball coach Quintin Noakes, his path towards helping the Culpeper Youth started at home.

“It all started with my grandmother,” Noakes said. “She told me a long time ago that it comes from being a good person, and you should always give back. It’s been the way I’ve lived all my life.”

As for teaching a skill set that the clinic’s participants can continuously work on, Noakes is a firm believer in player hand coordination.

FILM • “The Night of the Hunter”

(United Artists, 1955) In his sole directorial endeavor, British actor Charles Laughton creates a poetic and unusual parable of greed, corruption, and redemption in this dark allegory of good versus evil.

He meets his match in Rachel Cooper (Lillian Gish), a saintly protector of runaway and abandoned children. A combination of delicate grace and steely resolve, Gish had an almost Victorian purity that was perfect for the part.

Priased for its stunning imagery from renowned cinematographer Stanley Cortez, “The Night of the Hunter” was added to the National Film Registry in 1992. 7:30 p.m.

Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations required. For more information, call 202-707-9994.

VIEWS Confederate War Memorials Just writing the title of this blog I know some folks will want to label me a racist. I’m not.

That’s a ploy done by people of lesser minds so they don’t have to confront logic or facts. As communities in Virginia are questioning the removal of Confederate statues and renaming institutions and roads because of their links to the Confederacy – it is important we put these things in perspective. As an author and published historian, I feel empowered to offer my two cents on this topic.

I am not going to crawl through the “debate” about what the war was about. We all know what it was about.

The issue is simple, should we expunge such memorials in a fit of political correctness, because some people are offended?

I say no. Hell no. You don’t have a right in this country to not be offended by things. Offending people is one of the few things we Americans do well collectively and individually. I practice this skill to the point where it is an art form. For every person that is offended by such memorials to fallen soldiers, there are others that are equally offended they are being removed. They may not be as vocal or get the media coverage, but people here in Virginia (outside of Northern Virginia, which

is a state in itself) are disturbed at the thoughts of tearing down statues of historic figures.

By the 1930’s, during the reunions of the Civil War veterans, both sides had long buried their grudges and had ended the animosity between each other. Oddly enough this issue was not part of the Civil Rights movement but is a recent issue. It began with attempts to purge the Confederate flag two years ago. Now a few loud voices, filled with anger and bitterness, want to remove historical markers because they believe them to be offensive.

Loud, however, does not mean correct.

I saw one news report where a protestor that said that Robert E. Lee didn’t deserve a statue, that he was a traitor. Such ignorance is embarrassing. Let me approach this to say that Confederate soldiers have been treated, at some levels, by the government for some time as American veterans. Several hundred are buried in Arlington National Cemetery and in countless national cemeteries around the country. Congress did grant Confederate veterans the same benefits as US veterans, of course they did this in 1958. While they are not seen 100% as equivalent to other US war veterans, it was not seen as an issue until recently.

Robert E. Lee’s father, “Lighthorse” Harry Lee, was one of Washington’s best field commanders. His son was a hero of the US Army in the Mexican War, before the Civil War. When Lee surrendered at Appomattox, the Federal soldiers began to cheer.

General Grant ordered a stop to

the jubilation. “The war is over,” he told his staff. “The rebels are our countrymen again.” Solidifying this further, President Gerald Ford restored Robert E. Lee’s citizenship. Lee was an American citizen…plain and simple.

Removing his statue or those of other Confederate leaders or regiments demeans their sacrifice, even if they were on the losing side of the conflict.

Cries for renaming high schools like Stonewall Jackson have emerged in the media who loves to feed on divisiveness. There are moves to rename the Jefferson Davis Highway, Route 1, to anything else, simply because it bears his name. Why? Because a handful of malcontents wail that the names are offensive and racist.

One has to wonder where does this kind of thinking end? Will we tear down Mount Vernon because George Washington owned slaves? Don’t disregard that. If we concede on this simple non-issue, it will set precedent that will be difficult, if not impossible to reverse. The people doing this are not just removing statues and changing names, they are altering our very history of our communities and our nation. It is a slippery slope we tread when we decided to rewrite our past because it doesn’t fit someone’s individual current political narrative.

It is a slope I refuse to concede to.

Estate Law Center, PLLC. establishes a legacy Contributed story The treasured No. 5 Underwood Standard Typewriter sits on Katherine Charapich’s desk, and she marvels at the intricacy of the design of the first portable typewriter that set the bar for all the ones that followed.

Nearly a century later, the name Underwood as it relates to such a miniature machine, still evokes feelings of quality, confidence, and integrity.

To Ms. Charapich, who practices estate planning, elder law, and business law in our community, words matter. Client relationships and cases may hinge on the nuance of one word.

Important considerations when drafting documents or presenting a case are, what does the audience hear, and how will the words be interpreted? As the old saying goes, “choose your words wisely.”

One of Ms. Charapich’s favorite verses is found in Proverbs 22:1 (NIV) “A good name is more desirable than great riches; to be esteemed is better than silver or gold.”

The words used to comprise a company’s name may be consid-

ered a signpost, beacon, or open door to the public as it is a means of communicating the services offered within its doors. It is in that spirit that the new name of Ms. Charapich’s law firm is appropriately called the Estate Law Center, PLLC. Though the firm’s name, Estate Law Center, is new the mission and service of the law firm remain the same. Through the Estate Law Center’s areas of practice: estate law, elder law, and business law, "We must protect those who are not able to speak for themselves," Ms. Charapich said. "We must protect our neighbor who has been wronged by another.

"We must reach out to the elderly who may be overwhelmed by a vast system of laws. We must act boldly when others may be caused to be weak, and use the protective arm of the law to guard against the trampling of individual liberties.”

Through Ms. Charapich’s representation of her clients, she has seen that there is little in life that naturally readies one for life altering events.

Having a plan in place that protects a client while they are on this earth and directs the distribution

Katherine Charapich is proud to announce the opening of Estate Law Center, PLLC. of their assets upon their passing is critical.

Ms. Charapich is humbled by the courage of so many who face challenging situations, and make tough decisions – especially when it comes to matters for which life provides little preparation.

She encourages all within our community to use estate planning tools to memorialize their intents through the written word, taking advantage of the protections available each individual.

A new way to view cheese

Disruption depends largely on your perspective. Take, for instance, a rock. A "largeish" flat rock on the ground with rounded edges. A perfect specimen to use in say, a rock wall or as a paver.

Perhaps it was a shape,color (maybe weight) that led you to choose that particular rock for a different purpose or higher function if you will. With me so far? Good, now let's see what's under the rock.

Imagine that under your rock resides an ant colony. A colony that's enjoyed the climate control of the rock and shelter from elements and predators.

That is, until their colony was disrupted by the removal of the rock. This is not a guilt trip, but rather a perspective. The ants way of existing is now, "disrupted." Staying put and expecting the rock to come back because, "It's always been there" will likely not help. Nor will protesting and making demands for it's return. A new path forward must be forged. Things change constantly.

Buggy whips, telephone operators, film cameras, taxi cabs. Disruption happens when businesess are complacent or overconfident in thier control of a market. In the retail and wholesale world of cheese, the rock of "tradition" has seemingly been lifted with Amazon's announcement to buy Whole Foods. In days after the June 16 announcement, conversations about the implications were rampant. The hashtag #notacommodity was populated and promulgated amidst fears that Amazon would commoditize cheese and, perhaps like the ants exposed in the hot sun, small distributors and independent cheese shops would wither and die.

Alternatively, you could say that we, as an industry, are about to coalece in a way never possible here to fore. There's a real chain of pain from the farm to your table in the world of cheese.

If resources from an Amazon/ Whole Foods can improve the supply chain are we not all winners?

Winners with lower costs and more choices?

Even before the announcement, change was afoot making it clear that same old ways won't work at retail or online. Kroger's purchased Murrays cheese , for one, making a bold play to highlight

Zingermans - Hungarian Liptaur cheese. Think of this as a Hungarian pimento cheese. A spreadable cow's milk cheese that's nearly paprika orange with generous chunks of jalepeno turned with a collection of spices (including cumin) and yes, anchovies. A cheese that will help expand your mind in a good way. specialty cheese at grocery. More interesting is that Zingermans (and others) are making their own cheeses. Good cheeses, award winning cheeses that tie back to their brand identity while improving the supply chain. What's more, the cheeses are so good that other cheese retailers are featuring Zingermans cheeses in their cases (including Culpeper Cheese).

See this for what it is - cheese retailers are featuring an online competitors brand in thier case. Willingly.

Sure, you have always been able to private label or age a cheese and call it your own, but to own the supply chain? That's radical. As I see it, independent retailers and wholesalers should relish the changes.

Being free of, "we have always done it this way" can open up doors, reinvent marketing and bring more regional specialty to the cheese market. Will it be different and unknown? Yes, and from what I have tasted recently, that's a good thing.

ROOTED IN CULPEPER: It’s been a little over a year since owner Andrew Ferlazzo opened the doors to Grass Rootes Kitchen and Cocktail on Davis Street. It is in the same historical building that formerly housed The Hazel River Inn owned by Peter and Karen Stogbuchner who still operate the Hazel River Inn Bed and Breakfast on Eggbornsville Road. For Ferlazzo, a history lover as well as passionate about food, it’s a vision realized. As a young boy, Andrew Ferlazzo would ride his bicycle on Davis Street often passing one of the oldest buildings in Culpeper. The dreams of opening a restaurant in a building that once served as a Civil War jail for both Union and Confederate soldiers was planted early. For most, memories of this building date to the early 1900s when it was Yowell Hardware Co. Inc. A 30-year veteran in the restaurant industry, Ferlazzo has worked for France’s Master Chef Alain LeComte and the LeDuc family when they owned Prince Michel Winery. He has had apprenticeships throughout Europe. And then in 2016 he learned that the historic building where he envisioned a restaurant was for sale. At last, a dream fulfilled. Finally rooted in his native Culpeper and with a passion for offering farm-to-table cuisine in a historical setting, Ferlazzo named his restaurant Grass Rootes. Open since June of 2016, Grass Rootes is one of the newest additions to the menu of restaurant offerings in downtown Culpeper.

Grass Rootes is located at 195 E Davis St, Culpeper, VA 22701. Call (540) 764-4229.

NATIONAL NIGHT OUT: Jenna Grace Alsharif, 1, tries out a SWAT helmet as Culpeper County Sheriff's Deputy Scott Yeiser helps out at the CCSO National Night Out event at Northridge Tuesday. Jenna Grace and her sister Ava Rose, daughters of Rachel Hammen and Moral Alsharif, enjoyed meeting the deputies and trying on the gear.

HUGS FOR COPS: Culpeper Town Police Department officer and Lake View Neighborhood Watch cordinator Jason Smith gets a hug from Olivia Heinssen Tuesday. Smith said National Night Out is important to community policing as it allows the residents to see the police in a different light.

DOWN AND DIRTY: The lawn tractor pull at the Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department Community Yard Party was a huge success as crowds cheered for their favorite drivers.
