Salute to our Veterans Dibble has a heart for PTSD awareness

By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

David Dibble put his heart into raising awareness for soldiers battling post traumatic stress disorder - literally.

The new resident to Culpeper began a walk across the country June 8, 2016 to raise awareness for fellow veterans and has suffered three heart attacks along the way.

Dibble, who also suffers from PTSD, said the journey was good for his soul, but it was a daunting task talking to veterans about their struggles.

Trekking across country, he hauled a 75-pound backpack and a gallon of water, but it wasn’t just his physical possessions that weighed on him.

“They were honest,” Dibble said of his talks with veterans. “Without a shadow of a doubt, it was the most emotional journey of my life, hearing their stories. I experienced suicides on the journey, from people I just talked to.

“Hearing all these stories in every town, the weight of those stories were heavier than my backpack.”

In one town, he talked to one soldier for eight hours. He had just lost his best friend the night before. They had grown up together, enlisted together and fought in Iraq together. The soldier was at his friend’s house the night before

and left to go home. By the time he pulled into his driveway, his wife was there with the sad news his friend had just taken his life. It was those stories that drove Dibble to help veterans find help.

“Go to your American Legion, the VFW, open up to a fellow veteran,” Dibble said. “They’ve been there and done it, they could be suffering too. Probably the biggest thing a veteran can do to help himself, is to help another veteran. I know it helped me.”

A Navy veteran who served from 1982-86, seeing time in Grenada and Beirut, Dibble traveled for 12-15 miles a day making it a point to seek out veterans along the way and also trying to connect with judges and district attorneys to talk about establishing a veterans court in the communities he visited.

A veterans court, he explained, gives veterans a chance to meet with judges and have their charges reduced or sent off to rehab or probation instead of serving time in jail. He said a majority of veterans come home and find themselves in trouble with controlled substances and the veterans court gives them a second chance.

“Instead of pushing them through different channels, they treat them normal citizens and lock them up,” Dibble said. “In this case, we’re locking up heroes. So I push in each jurisdiction for the

There is only one veterans court in Virginia, in Fairfax County, but Dibble said Spotsylvania County has been pushing hard for one.

The drive to help veterans find help is what has kept him going, even through three heart attacks.

He had his last one when he arrived in Denver a couple of months ago, and it has postponed him continuing his journey until next spring.

“I always asked if I was better off than when I walked in here,” Dibble said. “Then I push on.”

He said the doctors tell him he should stick around for cardio rehab, but he says with a laugh that walking across the country should be enough cardio.

He camps most of the time,

which can be dangerous - noting that he was nearly held up before offering the young man some coffee and conversation - but he also makes it a point to get a hotel at least once a week.

“That was more for comfort and an effort on my part not to feel homeless,” Dibble said.

Before he heads out over the desert, Dibble said that a local welder is going to help build him a sled to haul more water. He had one sled early on, but it was slowing him down and he had to dump it.

He posts updates on his Facebook page and has had many people follow his trek.

“There’s a problem, and my intention is to find a way to help,” Dibble said.

The Culpeper Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors announced Tuesday morning that former Chamber Board Chair David Durr, will serve as interim CEO for The Culpeper Chamber of Commerce.

Sandy Boone, current CEO is still fully engaged in her role and will serve through Oct. 11, at which point Mr. Durr will take over.

“We are thrilled to have Dave accept this position, this is a crucial time of year for us. It is imperative that we have the time it takes to conduct a diligent search and hiring process, to put the very best person we can in place for the long term” said Sophie Hudson, Board Chair.

Durr is the former General Manager Culpeper Farmers’ Cooperative Inc. He served as Chairman of the Board in 2013 and is a Member of the Culpeper Agricultural and Forestal District Advisory Committee.

“The Culpeper Chamber has been the voice of the business community and a driving force in the economic development of the county for over 100 years. I look forward to working with our members, board and employee team through this transition in leadership,” Durr said.

Wilderness ‘Tiques host antique appraisal fundraiser Oct. 7 Have you ever wondered about how much that antique clock sitting in your basement really is worth?

The Wilderness ‘Tiques, a local chapter of Questers International is sponsoring an antiques appraisal event from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Oct. 2017 in the lower level of the Lake of the Woods Clubhouse. The event is a fundraiser for the Germanna Foundation’s “Salubria,” an 18thCentury Georgian-style Manor House in Culpeper County.

‘Tiques founder Connie Le May said this is the sixth antique appraisal hosted by the group, which consists of 25 members in Lake of the Woods. In the past they’ve raised funds for Ellwood, a historic property in Orange, have helped mark cemeteries inside the gates at Lake of the Woods and

CULPEPER YOUTH COUNCIL SPOTLIGHT

Brianna Trinity Simone Reaves (Editor's note: This is the seventh installment 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: 12th School: Eastern View High School Hobbies: Dancing, stepping, leading, and going to meetings Why I joined Youth Council: I joined Culpeper Youth to grow my community's relationship with the youth and to show everyone that we ( the youth of Culpeper ) care about our community and that we all equally strive to make it better for the generations to come. Culpeper may be a small town to many, but to me it is a perfect place to spark change for the better. There are many things adults don't know about the youth and many things the youth don't know about adults. With this platform, we are able to understand, respect, and protect each other in more ways than just one.

How to make Culpeper a better place: This town is absolutely amazing, with boisterous ideas & people who want to see it become even better than it is now-- for every race, gender, family, and class.

With such visions for the town, I wanted to properly put them to work, which is exactly why I am apart of Culpeper Youth; and it's the best organization I have ever been apart of thus far.

for the Graffiti House in Brandy Station.

Appraisals cost $10 for one item or $25 for three items. All the proceeds go to helping fund restoration for Salubria.

“We had been out to Salubria and it appears to need more work,” Le May said of the reason for choosing Salubria this time.

She said the process of appraising takes time and energy, so the group picks its targets carefully for when it hosts an event. She noted the three appraisers - Sarah F. Hays, owner of Quail in the Wood in Culpeper, John Silke, owner of Greene House Shops in Ruckersville, and Janis Cromer, owner of Great Deals in Madison donate their time for the appraisals.

She particularly pointed out Hays who has gone above and beyond with her support of the group.

“She’s participated in every show and we could not have put these on without Sarah’s help,” Le May said.

“She’s been tremendous.”

The response to the previous appraisals has been impressive, Le May said.

“If anyone watches the antique road show, they know that they often have no idea how much stuff is worth,” she said. “Not only is that a service, but every single dollar goes to restoration benefits.”

The local chapter is 16 years old and is one of five chapters in Virginia - there are 300 nationwide.

It has a dual purpose of educating members about historic renovation and learning about antiques.

Art, jewelry and china are among the items available to be appraised, along with furniture. Appraisers will come out to a participant’s vehicle to appraise the furniture, Le May said. No weapons, stamps or coins will be appraised, and this is first time they did not have an appraiser for antique weapons available.

Le May said she is always amazed at the items people come with, noting that one year a person came with a $3,000 antique clock.

Le May said participants are to enter Lake of the Woods at the gate off Route 3, letting security know they are there for the appraisal.

Signs will be posted directing them to the clubhouse. For more information, call Joann Buttimer at 540-972-5398.

Proud to serve the Culpeper community!

CCHS Culinary Arts receives donation from 3 Dimensional Creations CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

A chance meeting at the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce’s annual Business, Industry and Education Day led to a generous donation to Culpeper County High School’s Culinary Arts classes.

Rex Hancock, owner of 3 Dimensional Creations, was displaying his laser engraved cutting boards at BIE Day when Chef Jay Cohen happened upon the booth.

It was a match made in heaven, Cohen said.

“He had cutting boards of weights and measures,” Cohen said. “I said, before I even knew how much they were, would you consider making a donation to the culinary arts program.”

Hancock quickly agreed, and last week stopped in during a Culinary Arts 1 class to hand deliver the six laser engraved cutting boards.

Hancock, a former IT specialist who retired after 30-some years in the field, didn’t know the schools had a culinary arts program until meeting Cohen. He agreed it was a perfect fit to help the school and to display his cutting boards.

“I’m very happy to be able to make a donation, I think it’s a very

good thing that they have a program like this,” Hancock said.

The cutting boards - one set of three engraved with measurements and another set of three with cutting instructions such as dice and julienne - usually retail for about $26. Hancock, who operates the business in Rixeyville, said it’s received quite a response since he started.

“At the BIE show, I had one that said Karen’s Kitchen Cheat Sheet, which belongs to my wife,” Hancock said. “I had a gentleman come up and drop $20 and said I’ll take that one. I said sorry, my wife would not be happy.”

Hancock uses a computer program called Corel Draw to make his creations, which can be customized pretty much how a customer wants, and says that the combination of a hobby along with his computer knowledge drew him to his new profession.

“I was looking for something new to do with my time,” Hancock said.

“I life working with wood, and this was something that intrigued me. It was a marriage of woodworking and high tech. It was a good fit for me.”

He buys most of his bamboo for the cutting boards from a supplier but some of it is sourced locally. He

“This is great, I’m really happy to do this,” Hancock said. “I think this particular program got my attention because one of my many vocations as a young man was as a short order cook. I was encouraged to see this type of program still exists at the school.”

Cohen was thrilled to receive the donation and pointed out that the students can use the measurements nearly every day. While the cutting

boards are treated and able to be used, Cohen planned to display them and use them for resources for the students.

“It was just something that it gives an opportunity for the local businesses to contribute and help support the culinary program here and education in general,” Cohen said. “I give the students a cut sheet that they have with them, now I have a physical model that will stay here that they can compare to.”

When there’s a disaster, the Salvation Army dives in ready to meet the need.

Culpeper Lt. Jared Martin relishes that opportunity, and on Tuesday joined the Virginia Disaster Response Team on a two-week deployment to help in Hurricane Irma ravaged Florida.

Martin left Tuesday morning for Macon, Ga., a location which could still change.

He, along with Culpeper area volunteers Beth Bruce and Jesse McHanson, will help man Salvation Army “We are dedicated to doing the most good, so what we’re going to do is to position ourselves in the best place so the whole area covered and then make adjustments,” Martin said Monday, as he prepared to leave for the trip.

The Salvation Army had 47 units in Florida before the store and disaster response teams from Virginia, Alabama,

North and South Carolina and other states were on the way to help. The Virginia team consists of eight canteens, which usually have a crew of three or four. Virginia was also sending its Emergency Disaster Services command team.

Martin praised the volunteers who have signed up to go, pointing out that officers in the army have no choice but to follow the mission.

“I’ve given my life to the Salvation Army, whenever I receive orders I salute and go as quickly as possible,” Martin said. “That is an effective method for officers. There’s a need and that’s the only crisis that has to happen to meet that need.”

This is Martin’s fifth deployment, but the first dealing with a hurricane. He has helped in floods and tornadoes before, and says the primary mission of the Salvation Army is to feed first responders, families and providing free meals for anyone needing them.

“When there’s a place without power, we’ll be able to be there to help them,” Martin said. “So they will be able to focus on what they need to do with their homes or with the rescue services.”

While the canteens are mobile, Martin ➤ See Irma, Page 7

Highland student collects supplies for Texas schools affected by hurricane

By Jeff Say

It was a chance meeting that led to Reagan Dodson wanting to give back.

She was in her family’s deli, Deli-icious, when a customer began talking about the damage to his alma mater in Texas from Hurricane Harvey.

Dodson, a senior at Highland School, immediately thought “what can I do to help?”

Now, she’s organizing a drive to provide supplies needed at the Hamshire-Fannett School District. According to Jon Burris, assistant superintendent at the school district, 457 students go to the schools and more than 90 lost everything in the hurricane.

Dodson plans to accept donations at Deli-icious located at 128 N Main St in Culpeper, through Sept.

25. Ronnie Lee Bail Bonds, located just down the street on N. Main St. will also be accepting donations.

“At Highland, one of the huge things is that we help others,” Dodson said. “We have a school in Kenya that we fundraise for and after hearing about the recent events with Harvey I wanted to do something from our community.”

She said that Highland has offered to help and she is in the process of setting up a Facebook page to help solicit donations.

She plans to either ship the donations or Ronnie and Nora Lee have offered to drive the supplies down if they receive enough.

Dodson said her heart broke when she heard about the students who lost everything.

“I can’t imagine living as middle class and then have it all ripped away from you,” she said.

For more information, Dodson can be reached at 718-9972 or by email at rdodson18@highlandschool. org.

said sometimes the Salvation Army sets up fixed feeding sites to make it easier to serve those in need. From there they can also provide food boxes and comfort and hygiene kits.

While they do distribute boxes, the Salvation Army does not solicit donations of goods. Instead, they request monetary donations as a way to make sure the funds are able to be used properly.

“Our promise to our donors to always do the most good,” Martin said. “The problem is that with hard goods is to purchase and haul all of this stuff down there, depletes the value of the gift. The best way for people in Virginia to help people in Texas or Florida is to give a financial gift.”

Martin said those involved in disasters are very grateful and that’s part of the heartwarming aspect as they tour the devastation storms have left behind.

“People in disaster crisis are very responsive,” Martin said. “One of the stories I just read happened in Texas and a man said that I wouldn’t have anything if the Salvation Army wasn’t here.”

While providing sustenance, the Salvation Army also strives to provide moral and spiritual support to those in need.

Culpeper Times • Sept.14-20, 2017

➤ Fireplaces, from Page 8 out my door each morning mother nature will kiss my cheek with a cool breeze and as the day unfolds she will warm my back with the gentle rays of the sun. The days growing shorter and the list of projects to complete growing longer there are few feelings as sweet.

If you have been reading my article each month then by now you know I take great happiness from spending time with friends and family and building areas where others can do this as well. I believe there is nothing more important than to spend time with loved ones making memories so today we should talk about fire pits. The proper way to install them, proper materials and some advice on what to do and what we probably should not do. It would be sad to hear someone blew up grandma, burnt down the neighborhood or had some other uh-oh moment.

Alright so here are some guidelines on what, where, why, and how to select your build site and build your fire pit.

First site selection, be sure to look around and choose an area well away from anything combustible. Sitting under a large oak tree might seem like a great place for a patio but this is probably not the best location for your fire pit. Remember even with ember arrestors in place they can and will escape the fire pit and could ignite flammable materials.

Second would be to choose an area slightly elevated this will allow you to install a drain into your fire pit or at least set surrounding grades to allow water to evacuate the pit. Improper grades will ensure your fire pit becomes a fire pond.

The third and most important thing to look at when building your fire pit is the material you will use to build it.

Natural stone is beautiful and while some natural materials work very well in creating the border for your new pit some stones will actually explode when overheated. In fact most natural stones have the ability to explode if they are overheated so if you plan to use a natural stone surround be mindful of this and build the surround large enough to keep the direct heat of the fire away from the stones. You can also use fire rock mortared with fire proof mortar to the inside to ensure the stones don't get too hot or even install a metal border to keep the fire away from the rock. These days there are many segmental concrete ready built fire pits that can be purchased and installed with relative ease.

Whatever your choice remember to plan it out, lay it out, and think it out before you build it out.

Live the Dream, We are.

State Theatre auction scheduled postponed

By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

The auction for the foreclosure of the State Theatre set for Sept. 13 was postponed.

According to Paul S. (Chip) Bliley Jr., attorney for law firm Williams Mullin, the auction was cancelled late Tuesday.

“Per our discussion the foreclosure sale scheduled for Wednesday will be cancelled,” Bliley said.

“I will appear at the courthouse on Wednesday and advise anyone there the sale is being postponed.

In all likelihood it will be rescheduled in 45 days.”

The State Theatre has been shuttered for almost a year, and investors were attempting to collect on the debt they were owned.

LLC., and another unnamed couple were looking to recoup $5 million they invested in the 500-seat theatre.

According to Paige Read, Culpeper’s Director of Tourism, delays in auctions such as these are common.

“We can confirm the State Theatre auction is postponed,” Read said Tuesday morning.

She said the State Theatre Foundation and the town are still trying to find ways to move the project forward.

Until it closed Sept. 14, 2016, the theatre was led by a volunteer board of directors headed by Jerry Whitlock (chair), Joseph Wills (vice chair), Gary Lee (treasurer), Elizabeth Hutchins (secretary), Alex Forte, Chris Hamilton, Don Haight, Mike Hudson, Octavia Yates, and Joe Grills (board advisor).

Reached by phone Tuesday, Hutchins had no comment, as did Whitlock, both advising to speak to Read.

Read said that either an alternative date will be revealed or a firm announcement will be made within 45 days.

Bliley said that he hopes to meet people who are interested in the property and will take their information for future reference.

“At this point it’s as likely to be rescheduled as it is to be resolved,” he said.

On Wednesday morning, outside the courthouse, the members of the press outnumbered any interested parties who had not heard about

the postponement.

Bliley said that the delay only indicates there is still work going on behind the scenese.

"This happens a lot," he said, in foreclosure cases like this. "This is nothing unusual. It just means they need to foucs on something to work it out."

The board had numerous fundraising efforts underway at the time the theatre was shuttered, including tax-deductible donations, a preservation society, individual and corporate annual memberships, seat dedications, personalized engraved bricks, and sidewalk stars similar to those in Hollywood.

The board also welcomed donations through estate planning. All of which, it turns out, wasn’t enough.

“Dear Culpeper Community,” a large notice from last September reads on the door of the theatre.

“It is with great sadness that the State Theatre Foundation Board of Directors announce that we will be suspending the operations of the theatre until further notice . . .

“We had hoped that with the changes in staffing, our new direction of diverse programming, and our community partnerships and educational outreach that we would be able to create renewed interest for the community and the region to provide the contributed income necessary to sustain operations. Unfortunately, while we saw a trend of positive results, we fell short of our fundraising goals to keep us moving forward . . .

“In the coming months, the State Theatre Foundation Board of Directors will take the appropriate steps to decide how to move forward.”

Her first American film, “The Torrent,” was a hit and her performance as a seductress was critically acclaimed.

In Garbo's second film for MGM, she plays yet another wicked woman who has made a pastime out of breaking men's hearts.

“The Temptress” was also a great success with critics’ enthusiasm suggesting the emergence of a great star. Directed by Fred Niblo, the film costars Antonio Moreno and Lionel Barrymore.

FILM • “Dawson City: Frozen Time” (Hypnotic Pictures, 2016) “Dawson City: Frozen Time,” pieces together the bizarre true history of a collection of some 500 films dating from 1910s - 1920s, which were lost for over 50 years until being discovered buried in a sub-arctic swimming pool deep in the Yukon Territory, in Dawson City, located about 350 miles south of the Arctic Circle. Using these permafrost protected, rare silent films and newsreels, archival footage, interviews and historical photographs to tell the story, and accompanied by an enigmatic score by Sigur Rós collaborator and composer Alex Somers (Captain Fantastic), the documentary depicts a unique history of a Canadian gold rush town by chronicling the life cycle of a singular film collection through its exile, burial, rediscovery, and salvation - and through that collection, how an important hunting and fishing camp for a nomadic First Nation was transformed and displaced. The film’s director, Bill Morrison, will introduce the film and conduct a Q & A following the screening. 7:30 p.m. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt.

VIEWS

Clinging to the last fragments of summer

I keep being told it is the traditional end of summer. Labor Day has passed.

That isn’t enough for me. I’m far more moved by the fact that Game of Thrones has wrapped its season leaving me a year or more to worry about white walkers and zombie dragons. The late-season Gnarly Hopps festival is a blurry memory for many. You can see it in the trees – that slow fade of color from green to brown.

This, however, is Virginia. We hold onto our summers like a puppy with a favorite chew toy. Our kids have been in school for almost a month already so we’re not so fast to proclaim that summer has ended because of an outdated holiday. Labor Day,

which is a trigger point for so many communities, is only an extended weekend here. We Virginians cling to our summers through September.

Yes, the colder nights are coming, but we still will have some blistering hot days to hold onto. It is one of the things I love about my birth state, it’s unwillingness to succumb to winter until the last possible minute.

I know fall is looming in the distance because Halloween stuff has started to show up at Walmart. I don’t complain. Candy Corn is now on the shelves. I haven’t been quite able to convince my wife that this is a vegetable (“It has corn in the name honey!”) but I do like the fact that it is coming a few weeks earlier this year, even if my cholesteryl levels protest.

What is sadder is that I am now letting Walmart tell me what season we are in.

I do look forward to not mowing the yard as often. The leaves will come down, and there’s some clean-up

associated with that. Then comes the prepping of the snow blower and the decommissioning of the tractor for the winter. I don’t hate mowing the lawn, but I also don’t look forward to it. It is basically an hour and a half in my life that autumn and winter graciously hand back to me. I would tell you that I use that time productively but I won’t insult your intelligence.

My thoughts will turn to doing a little more Civil War relic hunting, sans the ticks and heat stroke of summer.

I look forward to being able to sit on the porch without a slow roast. We recently had a back patio constructed, and I look forward to taking advantage of that as well.

I look forward to visits to a winery (distillery) or two. Picking far too many apples for two people to ever eat at some local orchard. Fresh cider… oh, now that is something to want you to see the leaves turn.

Fall, for me, means I turn to more

indoor activities. Visiting libraries, museums, etc. Researching in the autumn is easier and the increasing bouts of cold weather encourage more indoor activities.

As we all look to the gradual change of seasons, I hope you make the most out of yours. It is my hope that things in the country calm down a little bit in terms of the rhetoric and political posturing. I also know that is a forlorn hope. As of late we, as a people, have gotten really good at upsetting each other…often over nothing. At least when the weather gets colder, people stop protesting for their little causes. We are more than willing to protest stuff, just as long as we do it in temperate weather. Our founding fathers would be embarrassed.

Falls and fires – Avoid both AGEWISE

Falls are a leading cause of injury and hospital stays for older adults.

Avoiding falls may help older adults stay independent and remain in their homes for as long as it is safe. According to the National Safety Council, a home fire is reported every 86 seconds. Implementing fire protection strategies in the home also may prevent fires and save lives. In this article, we discuss some basic tips for avoiding falls and keeping your home safe from fires.

Two important ways to avoid falls is to improve balance and insure that the home is safe. People need to keep their ankles strong since ankles are the first line of support if you start to lose your balance. One of the best exercises is to slowly point and flex the foot from the ankle. Knees need to be able to do a controlled bend. The best exercise is to have a sturdy chair behind you, and slowly sit down. One should not do this more than four consecutive times or if a doctor has ever said not to do it. Concentrate on posture. The ideal posture is ears over shoulders over hips over ankle alignment. This isn’t

Bonnie Vermillion Kathy Walker

possible for everyone due to various conditions, but it is possible for many.

Any variation of this can increase a risk of falling.

Since most falls occur at home, everyone needs to keep their home safe. In a multiple level house, stairways should be well lighted and have one and preferably two railings.

When going up and down stairs, the best practice is to hold onto at least one railing. When going down steps, everyone should always be able to see their feet Best practice is to not carry a clothes basket in front of you while on the stairs.

If something is spilled or an ice cube dropped, it should be cleaned immediately. Water on a smooth kitchen floor can easily cause a fall.

Beware of wearing socks or bedroom slippers that have no traction since both are a high risk for causing a fall.

All area rugs should have skid-proof backing or be tacked to the floor. It is often recommended that scatter rugs with no backing should be thrown out.

Installing grab bars in the bathroom where they are needed is a good precaution. A person 6’5” may need to grab a bar a different place in an emergency than someone 4’9”.

Falls may happen. If someone has an alert system pendant or bracelet, they need to wear it. A cell phone should be in a pocket or on a low table.

If only a land line phone is available, it should be within reach of someone laying on the floor. Clutter will slow down how fast EMS can get to the victim. Remember when the rescue squad comes, they come with lots of equipment and need a clear path to all parts of your home including the bedroom and bathroom.

Fire prevention is another way of maintaining safety in the home.

According to the National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) in 2015 a home fire was reported every 86 seconds. Fires claim the lives of innocent victims and often destroy homes and personal belongings.

Following these eight key messages from NFPA can make your home a safer place to live. l If you smoke, smoke outside. Use deep, sturdy ashtrays. Wet cigarette butts and ashes before throwing them out or bury them in sand. Never some in bed. l Give space heaters space. Keep space heaters at least three feet away from objects that can burn. Shut off and unplug heaters when you leave home or go to bed. l Be kitchen wise. Wear tight-fitting or short sleeves when cooking. Use oven mitts. Never leave cooking unattended.

Stand by your pan! If a pan catches fire, slide a lid over it and turn off the burner. Do not cook if you are drowsy

from alcohol or medication. l Stop drop, and roll. If your clothes catch on fire: stop (do not run), drop gently to the ground, cover your face with your hands, roll over and over or back and forth to put out the fire. Use cool water for 3 to 5 minutes to cool the burn. Get medical help right away. l Smoke alarms save lives. Have smoke alarms installed outside each sleeping area, on every level of your home and in each bedroom. Make sure alarms are interconnected.

Have alarms tested according to manufacturer instructions. l Plan and practice your escape route from fire and smoke. If possible, know two ways out of every room in your home and two ways out of your home. Make sure windows and doors open easily. In a fire get out and stay out. l Know your local emergency number. Dial 9 1 1 once you are safely out of the house. l Plan escapes based on your abilities. Have a telephone in your bedroom and post emergency numbers nearby.

The old adage holds true. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

It is far better to avoid falls and prevent fires in the home than dealing with the consequences. People of all ages can take steps now to live healthier lives and promote home safety.

An analyst’s view of Culpeper’s Mosque lawsuits GUEST COLUMN Chuck Duncan

issue.

The Federal and civil lawsuits against Culpeper are dismissed.

The county never got an opportunity to prove its case.

Allegations were made but few were proven. I prefer to look at facts when analyzing an

History Pump and haul (P&H) is about transporting sewage by trucks on county roads. The issue is, “Does an applicant have enough hardship to justify putting raw sewage on county roads?” In the past, when a septic drain field failed, the choice was to abandon the building served by the septic field or switch to P&H. Today there are over a dozen alternative technologies that replace septic fields.

By 2012, Commonwealth codes changed to reflect new technologies.

Culpeper’s Planning Administrator, John Egertson, rewrote the County’s P&H policy to reflect new code and to explicitly eliminate outdated policy.

The Board of Supervisors adopted the new policy in July 2012.

Permit Requirements Culpeper’s P&H policy requires three demonstrations. First, the owner demonstrates a “… unique situation exists that goes beyond simple hardship.” Second, the owner demonstrates a temporary situation.

And third, the owner demonstrates (part of the p&h agreement) a lastresort situation, that is: “WHEREAS, no practical economic method exists,

… except by pumping and hauling to a Department approved sewage disposal facility;” …”

Ownership, Building, & Hardship The Islamic Center of Culpeper’s (ICC) case was unique. The ICC was not the owner, and there was no building to abandon if they failed to get a permit. The stated hardship was “”The soil is bad and cannot support a traditional septic system.”

With the sale not yet completed, any hardship associated with the land to be purchased was self-imposed. Does this hardship justify additional risks to the community from the transport of raw sewage? Finally, there was no statement about the economics of alternate systems.

BOS Meetings – Omissions & Misdirection On Mar 1, 2016 Mr. Egertson, the County Administrator, told the Board of Supervisors (BOS) that the application was in order without mention of 2012 policy. The county attorney’s job includes reviewing contracts. Because the application called for the owner's signature, the attorney asked for time to review legality. The issue was deferred until the April meeting.

At the April 2016 BOS meeting, Mr. Egertson announced changes to the application. The March application was not in order. Again, he made no statement about current 2012 policy. Instead, he undermined current policy by providing a list of P&H approvals going back to 1999. A 2001 case renewed a 1993 P&H for a proposed church, a situation similar to the ICC’s proposed mosque. Mr. Egertson’s March statement that

the application was in order, and his inclusion of the 2001/1993 case set the grounds for lawsuits when the permit was rejected in April.

An applicant builds his case for approval by demonstrating he has met the requirements. Supervisors that voted against the permit (Chase, Deal, Frazier and Walker) based their rejection on the failure to demonstrate hardship required by 2012 policy. Wanting to buy and build on land that won’t support a drain field is not hardship. Also, no proof was provided that alternative sewage handling systems were not economically feasible.

Conclusions Adherence to policy assures that every applicant gets equal treatment by the Board. Facts got lost in the noise. The media focused on the postponed decision and rejection of the permit. Few focused on current policy. Supervisors had every right to question and reject the application based on the current, 2012 policy.

The facts tell the story. In March and April, contrary to statements, County staff failed to present a complete application to the Board.

County staff undermined current policy with reference to out of date decisions.

The ICC, or anyone, has the right to sue. This is why it is critical for county staff to screen all applications for completeness. Both applicants and Supervisors need to know what current policy is so that fair and equal treatment can be assured for all who have true hardship.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Culpeper cares: CUMC donates goods for hurricane relief In February of 2016, Culpeper took its first team of volunteers to Mission Central Hub in Mechanicsville, Virginia. This trip served a wonderful purpose, to help people realize that they can still be involved in mission, although they are not willing or able to work on houses or be on roofs (what people think a mission trip usually entails). It empowered the older adults in our church, who desperately wanted to serve in mission, but were unsure how that could materialize. After spending a couple days in Mission Central, and sorting materials in their giant warehouse that would be sent out to people in need all over the world, our team was hooked and they wanted to bring this mission back to Culpeper UMC. In the summer of 2017, Culpeper

United Methodist Church became the first Mission Central Hub in Virginia. This means that we are a collection site for UMCOR (the United Methodist Committee on Relief). We collect materials for hygiene kits, flood, buckets, and school kits. We also collect medical supply materials. We store all these materials, and when our storehouses become full, we take these supplies to Mission central in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania. Mission Central is a partner of the mission of the Susquehanna Conference in the United Methodist Church and a member of the UMCOR Relief Supply

Alzheimer’s Walk honors those that suffer from brain disease

By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

Mary Hudak is a fighter.

The Lake of the Woods resident has battled and won against breast cancer, depression and is now fighting a battle against Alzheimer’s Disease.

Her daughter, Debbie Jockin, praised her mother and all those fighting Alzheimer’s during the Central and Western Va. Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association’s Walk to End Alzheimer’s Sept. 9.

Mary was diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, five years ago at age 75, Jockin said, and while it has been daunting at times to face as a family, there is help and hope.

“Mary is the person she always will be, regardless of any diagnosis that may come her way” Jockin said. “My mother is self sacrificing, hard working, self sufficient, highly educated and an ever compassionate person who continues to live her life with dignity and purpose.”

➤ Walk, from Page 22 Meadville, Pa., first had health issues the first year into her retirement - when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. She fought and won that battle before being diagnosed with depressive episodes.

“Over time and living as a Christian with a faith filled spirit, I’ve witnessed my mother suffer through these conditions and find her way back to a peaceful place of hope and healing,” Jockin said.

“Mom continues to carry herself with grace, dignity and an ever fighting spirit. However, she cannot fight this path alone.”

It’s a fight that more than 5 million other Americans face every day, and the number is only growing.

Sue Friedman, CEO/President of Central and Western Virginia Chapter of the Alzheimer’s Association, said that more than 600 walks are held throughout the country and eight in Central and Western Va. “This is our premier event,” Friedman said. “It’s a way to help people understand we have programs and services. We have research opportunities.”

The Alzheimer’s Association was founded in 1980, in an effort to help clarify what the disease was and to help find a cure.

“I think there’s still some misunderstanding about what is normal and what is not normal,” Friedman said.

Those facing cognitive issues are at risk for fraud, she said, pointing out that the number one elder abuse issue in the state is financial fraud. It’s events like last weekend’s that help raise awareness so those who suffer with the disease will not be taken advantage of.

“People with cognitive problems who have not made their plans in advance can sometimes be very vulnerable,” Friedman said.

Jenna Mullins, with Home Instead, said the Walk to End Alzheimer’s is key to helping find a cure.

“Today is amazing, we really strive to educate our community,” Mullins said. “With so many families moving into the area, this is fast becoming a retirement area.”

This year, the chapter set a goal of $52,000 and to date have raise $28,762.23. This year’s walk had 31 teams with more than 150 walkers.

While it’s about helping raise awareness and funds for those that suffer, it’s also a path for caregivers to use to find out about services.

“Caregivers can feel they are on an island by themselves,” Mullins said. “Culpeper has such excellent

Pastor Brad Hales, of Reformation Lutheran Church, walks with Gary’s Gang, in memory of John Gary Van Ness - a longtime member of the church who died following a battle with Alzheimer’s.

“This is a very special day,”

Hales said. “As a pastor for 23 years, I’ve worked with so many folks and families that have alzheimer’s disease. It’s just a horrific disease, what people go through and what the caregivers go through. I think it’s really important that we’re here to support people going through that.”

LET’S EAT!

Looking for something different this fall?

Looking for something new and a little different in your wine drinking repertoire? Just as the season subtly shifts to late summer/early fall, so does our lifestyle. Suddenly there are fun new options at the farmers market that change the way we cook and eat, and the cooler temps influence what we choose to drink with our meals. If you're a red wine fan, you should consider Carmenère for a slightly different twist and a colorful history. In its native land Carmenère was an obscure Bordeaux variety that was virtually wiped out by the plant louse phylloxera in the mid 19th century. However, in Chile it’s a different story – on many levels. The grape found its way to Chile via French winemakers relocating to this "phylloxera free" land where they could continue cultivating their Bordeaux varieties. In doing so, Carmenère vines were planted among existing Chilean Merlot vines and soon misidentified and sold as Merlot for decades. It wasn’t until 1993 through ampelography (the field of botany concerned with the identification and classification of grapevines) that it was discovered vines labeled as Merlot were really Carmenère. Initially some wineries ignored the findings and continued labeling under Merlot, but eventually they embraced Carmenère’s achievements and it is quickly becoming known as one

EPICUREAN MUSE Kim Kelly

of Chile’s signature grapes.

Early success with the grape came from plantings primarily in Central Colchagua and now it has spread to other areas, including Maipo and Maule. Carmenère is a very vigorous, late ripening grape, approximately three weeks later than Merlot. It thrives in an extremely dry environment and the harder the vines have to struggle for water the deeper the root system, resulting in higher quality fruit. It has a signature herbal/green pepper aroma, which is a positive characteristic. If you encounter excessive green pepper notes it can indicate under ripe fruit, not so positive.

Under ideal conditions, when the fruit is harvested fully ripe, Carmenère is lush and smooth with round tannins. It exhibits plum and blackberry fruits followed by hints of coffee and chocolate with a slightly smoky and spicy finish. It’s a nice alternative to Zinfandel, Syrah or Malbec. In other growing regions the grape goes by different names, it's Shelongzhu in China and Black Bordeaux in Italy for example, but Chile remains the success story.

Carmenère is quite food-friendly and can be enjoyed with a variety of dishes. It pairs very well with lamb, pork sausage or duck. It also matches nicely to dishes prepared with garlic, fennel, olives, curry or mushrooms. Cheers!

HELPING WITH HARVEY: Culpeper Police Department accepted donations for Texas residents dealing with Hurricane Harvey. Steve Cox, of Culpeper Pawn Mart, delivered items to southeast Texas, one of the hardest hit areas following Hurricane Harvey.
