CCHS forms FFA alumni association

By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

You don’t need to be a farmer, or an alumni, to join Culpeper County High School’s FFA Alumni group.

The new organization, formed this year by CCHS teachers Ted and Laura Delano and FFA Alumni President Brian Jacobs, is looking for anyone interested in helping talented young people maximize their potential.

“We needed support, we have lots of teachers but we’re only good at a few things,” Ted DeLano said. “We have people who have been through the program who are better at things than we are. We want our kids involved in the community.”

DeLano said they attempted to start an alumni association a few times over the past several years, but it never stuck. Now, with an emphasis on career and technical education, more people have shown an interest in joining with the FFA alumni.

“We want to look at that adult connection in the community,” CCHS principal Danny Soderholm said. “If we want our students to ➤ See FFA, Page 4

Novant Health UVA Health System promotes Napps

Maggie Gill, CEO, Novant Health UVA Health System, has named Greg Napps as the new president of Novant Health UVA Health System Prince William Medical Center and Novant Health UVA Health System Haymarket Medical Center.

Concurrently, Gill named Don Sedgley vice president of integration and corporate support for Novant Health UVA Health System. Both positions are effective Oct. 2.

Napps is currently CEO of Novant Health UVA Health System Culpeper Medical Center.

“In his new leadership position, Greg will work directly with our physicians and nursing and clinical leaders to manage facility operations,” said Gill.

“We look forward to the contributions Greg’s healthcare leadership experience will make in helping us to achieve our vision to deliver the most remarkable patient experience in every dimension, every time.”

“Greg has done a tremendous job here at the Culpeper Medical Center as evidenced by our string of consecutive Leapfrog grade ‘As’,” said Charles Barrell, chairman of the Culpeper Medical Center board of trustees.

“He will be sorely missed, but he has committed to mentoring our interim and replacement leader and plans to continue to reside in the Culpeper community.”

Napps has served in a variety of healthcare leadership roles during his career. Before serving as CEO at Culpeper Medical Center, Napps was vice president and chief operating officer at the hospital.

Previously, he served as vice president of operations for Bon Secours St. Mary’s Hospital in Richmond, Virginia. He also has held various administrative roles with HCA, Charter Medical and NovaCare.

Announcement of an interim leader for Culpeper Medical Center will be made soon while the search for a new president is underway.

Additionally, Sedgley had been president of Haymarket Medical Center since 2013 and will now serve in a system-wide role as vice president of integration and corporate support.

“This new leadership position will allow us to take full advantage of the synergies between Novant Health

Rosina Andrix (Editor's note: This is the eighth 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: 14 Grade: Ninth School: Homeschooled Hobbies: I am homeschooled and I love it. I enjoy helping people and those in my community! I also very much enjoy playing soccer, swimming, horseback riding, sewing, cooking, baking, playing the violin and hanging out with friends.

Why I joined Youth Council: Being a part of Culpeper Youth, to me, means teaching youth to become leaders, being a part of the community, and helping our community.

Without great leaders and volunteers, the world would be chaos with no order to anything. I believe it is very important to teach young people, such as myself, to become leaders. This way future generations can benefit from it.

How to make Culpeper a better place:Culpeper Youth is also participating within the community. We join fundraisers to help out, and soon we will be helping out in soup kitchens, cleaning up parks, and joining other organizations to help our community. Thank you for reading, God Bless.

Melody White saw the plight of those affected by Hurricane Irma in Florida and wanted to help.

The Highland School senior started a relief effort last week, collecting donations of nonperishable food and blankets at Unity Baptist Church in Culpeper.

“I feel like the people in Florida have cried out for help and I feel that we could send help that way,” White said. “Just come together as a community and help them out.”

The church, located at 509 S. Main St. #151 in Culpeper, is accepting donations through Oct. 5.

After the donations are collected, the Salvation Army from Manassas will be delivering them to two shelter sites - Horizon Middle School and Miami Carroll City High School.

White researched the shelters online and then reached out to the school districts herself to see what they needed. She then contacted the Salvation Army, when she realized her mom and dad wouldn’t let her drive the donations herself.

“At first I was sitting back, thinking that I can’t take it myself, I thought about a different way to get the goods shipped to them and it led me to the Salvation Army,” White said.

She said she has received a great early response from the community and the church’s pastor Rev. Leonard Morton Jr. She’s also used the connections her father, Culpeper County Sheriff ’s Office deputy and school resource officer at Emerald Hill Elementary School Melvin White. She connected with EHE principal Pam Gatewood through her dad and the school is helping donate.

“To me it sends a good message that you do really have some great people here in Culpeper,” White said.

She will be accepting donations through Oct. 5 and for more information visit her Facebook page at HurricaneIrmareliefva or email mwhite18@highlandschool.org.

Proud to serve the Culpeper community!

You don’t have to have a background in agriculture to join, but it helps, DeLano said. He said that agriculture is such a huge umbrella, it increases the number of connections students can make.

Part of the organization process was a meeting where alumni members and students talked about how they could signal boost what the club does at the school.

They came up with a student expo, which will be held Sept. 26 at 7 p.m., showcasing student exhibits from both CCHS and Eastern View High School.

Jacobs was keen on starting the alumni association as he was part of the class of 1999 at CCHS that helped revitalize FFA. He said he learned valuable lessons from the club - not just about farming.

“The biggest thing I got out of FFA was leadership,” Jacobs said.

“The leadership values of FFA help me strengthen my ability to communicate with others and help strengthen other people coming up through.”

Over the past few years, he said the emphasis has been more on preparing students for college, focusing more on computer programing and desk jobs, Jacobs

said. FFA helps prepare students for the work force, something that has been close to Jacobs’ heart for years.

His son, a senior at EVHS, has benefited from the virtual welder program the school offers.

“That teaches the kids who have never had any experience with welding,” Jacobs said. “Instead of going out to a welder, it gives them an idea to how actually function in that environment.”

Soderholm stressed that the alumni association was a joint effort between the two schools.

“I think something that is awesome about the FFA alumni chapter, is it really is a Culpeper community based organization,” Soderholm said. “There’s a lot of collaboration between the FFA alumni, the four teachers at our two high schools and the students.”

That collaboration starts at the top as Dr. Tony Brads, Culpeper County Public Schools superintendent, agreed to be a member of the FFA alumni chapter.

“Dr. Brads sent a great message to Mr. Delano saying good luck on your national competition, and I’ll drop my dues off at the meeting tonight,” Soderholm said. “That buy in and understanding what is happening here at the school level is inspiring. It makes you want to continue.”

➤ Fauquier Springs, from Page 7 added new membership categories.

“This was something that was in the works for quite a while,” Spielberg said. “We did a competitive analysis and looked how our dues were structured. We need to, not only now, but for the future, look at what our members are paying for.”

The finance committee of the board of directors made it more affordable to join, putting monthly dues for a family at $350 a month, individual fees down to $295 a month, social family dues to $195 a month and individual social fees at $175 a month.

They also created an age 30-39 membership group at $270 a month, a 29 and younger group for $220 a month and a created a out of town membership (40 miles or more away) for $150 a month.

“By reducing the membership dues, then we would be able to appeal to more people,” Spielberg said. “We have the infrastructure.

We have an outstanding golf course and a great swimming pool.”

While the amenities are nice, the people who join are even nicer.

“The best thing about our club is our members,” Spielberg said. “Our members are down to earth, warm and friendly. It’s a microcosm of Warrenton. Once you become a member here you become part of the whole group.”

Members with plus one handicaps play golf alongside other members with 30 handicaps, families enjoy dips in the pool and congregate at the end of a long day at the restaurant.

“What we’re trying to do is not only appeal to a broader group, but to create a membership people can grow into,” Spielberg said.

“Once they establish their membership as a young single person, as they grow they’re not going to be hit with huge fees.”

The Fauquier Springs Country Club was founded in 1957 with nine holes, and quickly added nine more holes not long after opening.

One of the hallmarks of the club has been its emphasis on youth, and new golf pro Jeff Pianelli - who started in February - has expanded the junior program and added an allgirls team this year.

“One of the things when we brought him in this year, one of the years we wanted to do was expand our junior program,” Spielberg said. “He has just grasped that and taken that with open arms.”

Kettle Run, Fauquier, Liberty and Highland School also use the course as their home golf course.

“It’s our effort to grow the game of golf and to help out the schools,” Spielberg said. “We open our course to them, not only to practice but for their matches. Three of the coaches are members here. We let them use our short game area, we open our doors to the kids so they can get a feel for golf.”

Spielberg emphasized the course is for everyone, from families, to youth, to businessman looking to utilize the lush and serene background.

“It’s great for business and for networking,” Spielberg said. “Where we’re located, just outside the heart of town, you can bring your business associates out here and it’s a great place to have dinner.”

At just over 6,000 yards, the course is more challenging than many expect.

“Our course is set up very close to what I call a Donald Ross golf course,” Spielberg said. “You have upside down saucers for greens, so everything kind of rolls off the edges. The greens are the defense of the golf course.”

After golf or swimming, he recommended dining at the restaurant on site, which offers a fine casual dining atmosphere with American fusion cuisine.

They also offer the Legends Catering of Fauquier Springs Country Club for off site dining.

“It’s just an extension of the fabulous food we prepare here,” Spielberg said.

In addition to the members, Spielberg said the second biggest asset is the staff, who are loyal and dedicated to helping the members enjoy themselves.

New incentives are being offered, if a community member would join in the next month or two, their dues are half off between now and March 2018.

“To me, it’s a very special place, I live in Warrenton and the people I’ve met since I’ve lived here is just tremendous,” Spielberg said.

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

The Culpeper Youth Council will host a candidate’s forum Monday, Oct. 2 at Eastern View High School’s forum from 6 to 8 p.m.

CYC president Riley Reynolds said the forum - which will include candidates for 30th District Delegate and School Board - is important to the organization to show that teens care about politics and the community around them.

“We wanted to have the forum so students who may be voting soon can ask questions to be more informed,” Reynolds said.

She said teens in the organization are concerned about bullying and how the school system can address the issue and about uniform school start times the general assembly is discussing.

She said students also expressed concerns about Deferred Action for Immigrant Child Arrivals.

“We believe that some of our fellow students will be affected but we want to hear more about the law,” Reynolds said.

She said that the forum is being presented so teens can step up and ask questions of the delegates and school board candidates.

“We want teens to know they can make a difference,” Reynolds said.

Questions were created by the council breaking into small groups to jot dot questions, but pointed out that candidates will not see questions ahead of time.

Culpeper Town Council member Jamie Clancey, who helped form the youth council, said that the forum is simply part

of the mission to integrate the youth with government in the community.

She hasn’t been surprised by the response, as many teens want to be involved and learn about the laws that are created for their community.

“We’re trying to help the youth feel empowered,” Clancey said. “I threw out the possibility of a forum and they took it and ran with it. When kids are given platform, they use it.”

Delegate candidates that will appear at the forum include Democrat Ben Hixon and Republican incumbent Nick Freitas.

School board members who will be present include Stevensburg candidates Elizabeth Hutchins and Marshall Keene and Cedar Mountain candidate Betsy Smith. Jefferson District candidate Michelle North is unable to attend due to scheduling conflicts.

Claney said any youth grades 7-12 interested in joining the council can visit www.culpeperyouth.org and the group meets the second Wednesday of every month form 6z;30 to 8 at Culpeper Baptist Church.

Reynolds said she expects a good turnout for the forum, as teens have a will to learn about government.

“It’s going to a good time for us to get together as a group and use this opportunity to learn,” Reynolds said. “Very soon we’re all going to be entering the real world and we have to be prepared for it.”

HOME & GARDEN Meeting the beekeepers of the Yucatan BEE HAPPY Felecia Chavez

Hello Culpeper! After a short hiatus, I’m back. Spring and summer have come and seem to be on the way out. We lost a few hives in the spring but were able to come back strong and our bees have done

extremely well.

We had a number of calls for swarms which we went out, got them and relocated them to one of our empty hives.

Our observation hive was doing well and then there was a swarm, the queen left and took half of the hive with her.

We were fortunate that within a couple of weeks we had a new queen and she is one sassy egg laying queen.

Between the bees and the shop, I went on a working vacation to Mexico, of course I took time

to see some of the most awesome sights imaginable: the pyramids of the moon and sun in Tenochtitlan, climbing to the top of the pyramid of the sun and being surrounded by hundreds of monarch butterflies, it was as if my ancestors were welcoming me home.

Visiting the home of artists’ Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera in Culiacan, seeing the most awesome murals of Diego Rivera in Mexico City, having dinner in the floating gardens on a flat bottom boat of Xochimilco. Visiting the women weavers of Cuernavaca and the silversmiths of Taxco.

But the best time was visiting and talking to the beekeepers of the Yucatan. I met a few people that were only too happy to share beekeeping stories, I also met a man that has been beekeeping for over 65 years, beekeeping has been in his family for a very long time but unfortunately, he knows that more than likely his children and grandchildren will not continue the path that his family has taken in

the past.

We talked about how very different and similar beekeeping really is. In the Yucatan, they are known for having stingless bees, they are pollinators as well as honey producers, I have to say that the honey that they produce is very sweet and has a very different taste, but is so good, unfortunately they do not produce a large quantity of honey. Of the 500 or so species of stingless bees in the tropical world, the favorite species among Maya beekeepers has been Melipona beecheii.

Its traditional name, xunan kab (or kolil kab in the Mayan language), means "royal lady”. The meliponine bees which are native to the tropical forests of Mexico's Yucatán peninsula are thought to be symbolically interwoven to the spirit world according to Maya history.

The large bodied stingless bees live in log nests unlike our beehives which are manmade, the people I spoke with have also seen

a decline in their bee population mainly due to deforestation and hurricanes that have reduced or destroyed the accessibility of the floral resources that they need to survive.

The other threat may come from those that see another way of helping by attempting to domesticate, taking the bees out of their natural habitat by moving them into hive boxes, or placing them in areas that are not conducive to their survival.

On a positive note, I also met numerous young people that want to see Melipona beecheii survive and they have taken on the mantle of learning from some of these beekeepers of the Yucatan.

It was both an honor and pleasure meeting with these wonderful people and I hope to go back soon.

Culpeper real men wear pink to fight breast cancer Contributed report If you notice an unusual number of men wearing pink in Culpeper this October, don’t be surprised.

Not only is October Breast Cancer Awareness Month – symbolized by the color pink – but the inaugural Real Men Wear Pink in Culpeper campaign of the American Cancer Society is underway. The Society has recruited 11 men who will be wearing pink with pride and purpose: to raise awareness and funds to fight breast cancer with the Society and compete to be the number one Real Men fundraiser.

Ten of the Real Men participants are Culpeper Chamber of Commerce business leaders.

“Real Men Wear Pink is a network of men across the U.S, making a meaningful impact on a cause that touches us all and having some fun while doing it,” says Christina Ballard, community manager for the American Cancer Society in Culpeper, who organized the effort locally. More than 7,000 women in Virginia and 240,000 women in the U.S. are expected to be newly diagnosed with breast cancer this year.

Brett York, manager of Buffalo Wild Wings in Culpeper, who is one of the Real Men explains his commitment, “I have a mother, a daughter and a wife, so I am proud to support this cause. Many of our customers have been impacted by breast cancer. When I’m at the restaurant wearing pink, customers will come in and ask why, and I’m sure they will support this.”

Jonathan James, owner of Xpress Copy and Graphics, was affected by breast cancer at a young age. “I never knew my dad’s mother because we lost her to breast cancer when I was just a baby. I joined the Real Men campaign because of the special women in my life – my wife, my daughter and my mom. If any of them ever got breast cancer, I’d want there to be a cure.”

Another Real Men participant Michael Duff, owner of CrossFit Culpeper, says that his wife’s family has had breast cancer. Duff, who also promotes the role of fitness and exercise in helping prevent all types of cancer risk, says, “I’ll be holding Fit camps during October and donating a portion to the cause. I’ve been involved with the American Cancer Society for the

The Society has been part of almost every major discovery in the treatment of breast cancer, including well known medications such as Tamoxifen and Herceptin.

“I am so very excited to announce Real Men Wear Pink in Culpeper!

It's taking off like a rocket, and I know our Real Men will be very successful,” says Ballard, a former Army nurse who moved to Culpeper years ago to take care of three relatives with cancer.

“The Culpeper Real Men are geared up for this fight. Their efforts exemplify what is so special about our community,” says Ballard.

Each man has committed to a goal to try to reach a minimum of $2,500 and raise awareness about breast cancer through social networks and other means. They will also be featured by the American Cancer Society’s social media.

How I Got a Boo Boo?

My 13-yearold Fake Granddaughter, the real granddaughter of significant other, The Yard Sale Queen, asked how I got the boo boo on my left arm.

Well, it’s a long and painful story.

Or stories.

On July 5, I broke my wrist. Yes, it hurt. A lot.

People who saw me in a black but removable cast asked what happened.

I offered three scenarios.

One story I related involved me being a hero and rescuing my friend who I was visiting at his “River House” near the Potomac River.

We were taking the boat out to sightsee. With one foot on the dock and the other on the boat that suddenly began to drift away from the dock, my friend began to do a split. An old man doing splits is not a pretty sight.

Fearing that he would lose his balance and either fall into the water or hit his head on the dock as he fell, I raced to his aid. I wrapped my arms around him and pulled him backward toward the dock. As we fell, I instinctively put my left hand back to brace our fall. He landed on me, unscathed. I was not so lucky.

Another story concerned The Yard Sale Queen. I was told when we started dating more than 11 years ago that she had a hard head. As I was telling a story and gesticulating wildly, my wrist accidently made contact with her head. She was dazed. I was hurt.

The third story had me and my friend, with the house on the river, sightseeing the area with his two dogs sleeping in the backseat of his GMC Envoy and my 7-pound Yorkie named Zoey standing on my left leg taking it all in. When we returned to the house, I grabbed Zoey and stepped out. My left leg had fallen asleep, causing me to stumble and fall.

The dog went flying, my hand

hit the asphalt. There I sat with my friend repeatedly asking if I was OK. I am not sure what part of NO I wasn’t OK he didn’t get.

In any event, no matter which story you believe, my hand painfully throbbed and began to swell. I didn’t see Tweety Birds but everything that was white was brilliantly white with no defined edges. I almost passed out.

So off I went to an urgent care center. Holding my battered and throbbing left wrist in the air, I introduced myself and explained to the receptionist what had happened.

Of course, they wanted insurance information and identification.

“Um, are you left or right handed?” the receptionist sheepishly asked, handing me a clipboard loaded with forms.

She was worried that I would fill them out with unreadable Hieroglyphics or even worse, she would have to fill them out. She breathed a sigh of relief as I told her I was right handed.

The nice doctor diagnosed my injury as a non-displaced fractured

wrist, meaning no resetting the break or surgery. Fitted with a temporary splint, I was sent on my way to suffer.

Two days later, I was in a local orthopedic surgeon’s office for more x-rays and being fitted with the fashionable black hard plastic removable cast.

Six weeks later, the cast came off and time to work out the kinks in my wrist from lack of use.

“I can retire this cast?” I asked the doctor, gleefully waving it in the air.

“Yeah,” he said. “Until you break your wrist again.”

Funny man.

If he ever retires from practice, he can always be a standup comic.

No matter which story you accept, I am on the mend after suffering my first broken bone. The Yard Sale Queen was a great nurse, while I whined, moaned and played helpless.

You know, generally acted like a man.

I'm outnumbered, and that's OK THE FINAL SAY

Some things never get old.

That first warm breeze on a spring day, the first pitch of baseball season, the sound of leaves crunching under your feet in the fall, the blissful quiet of the first snowfall.

Add becoming a dad to that list.

On Monday, Sept. 18, my wife Sarah and I welcomed our third daughter, Maci Jayne Say, into the world.

Maci is our pleasant surprise baby. Our other two daughters Madelyn and Maura - were planned well in advance. We had to undergo numerous tests and operations to even have Mady, and when we had Maura it was a second miracle.

However, being a teacher, Sarah had planned those births out meticulously. We had them in May and April, respectively, so she could take the summer off and be back for the start of the fall semester. Every detail leading up to their birth was scheduled, marked off and double

Jeff Say

checked.

That’s Sarah’s way - I call her “Captain Planner” as a joke because she’s so organized.

Maci is my creation.

I’m spontaneous, living by the seat of my pants. I enjoy a little bit of stress and worry in a sick way - I did it on a daily basis for 10 years (that may have been a bit much) and now I live for Wednesdays when the Culpeper Times is due. The adrenaline kicks in and I get a little bit of a high rushing to meet our deadline.

So it would only be fitting that Maci wasn’t planned. She - as best I can figure - was conceived on New Year’s Day. It should have been a time when we weren’t supposed to get pregnant, but we did. Everything happens for a reason.

The preparations for Maci were much more relaxed - I guess that happens with your third child.

It also helped she was another girl - we had everything we needed for that gender, so the planning was kept to a minimum.

When we first found out we were pregnant, I had hoped maybe this time I had produced a boy - but

there’s one thing I’m good at, and that’s making sweet little girls.

Maci arrived Monday - just as planned - but we were still in for a few surprises.

When she was born, it was the scariest birth we’ve had yet. She was born naturally, but was blue from head to toe. Her little lungs were filled with fluid and Sarah and I panicked. I said a little prayer before asking, “is everything alright?”

As doctors massaged her little blue skin and suctioned away, an oxygen mask was put on her face. We didn’t have this happen with either of the other girls, so terror flashed across our minds.

What if she isn’t breathing? Will she have to go to the NICU? Why doesn’t anyone else seem panicked?

Within moments, she let out a little cry and started breathing on her own and, we too, breathed a sigh of relief.

I was doubly concerned, as my mom and dad had lost a little girl - Mary Lou - nearly 60 years ago to the same symptoms. Thankfully, medical technology has advanced and I’m pretty sure my mom was looking down making sure our family didn’t lose another baby girl.

Once that drama was over, our next surprise came at her size. She was a BIG girl. Our other babies weighed just a little over eight pounds - Maci tipped the scales at 9 pounds, four ounces.

All that was left was introducing her to her sisters, and Mady and Maura couldn’t wait. Mady held her tightly while Maura sang happy birthday. Maura, our middle child and just 4, was still too afraid to hold her right away. I’m sure by the time I go back to the hospital this afternoon, she’ll be ready.

As for being ready, I am now.

It seems scary welcoming yet another child into this world.

With uncertainty with politics, the economy and tensions within our country, this seems like a trying time to bring a child into this world. But as I looked down at little Maci at 2 in the morning Tuesday, all those anxieties and stresses left my being.

She was perfect - even if she wasn’t planned.

Jeff Say is the now sleep deprived editor of the Culpeper Times. He’s the father of Mady, Maura and Maci and the husband of Sarah. And yes, this is the last one.

Yes, your data has probably been stolen now A couple of weeks ago, as I was planning this month’s Data Dump column, I thought about doing a fun write up on the “Magic Power” of rebooting devices that somehow fixes most common problems. Then IT happened and IT must be addressed.

And I am not referring to the new Stephen King movie. IT is the 5th largest data hack in U.S. history according to a report in the USA Today.

IT, of course, is the Equifax data breach disclosed to the public on September 7, affecting over 143 million Americans.

So, if you read this, you’re probably affected.

Equifax is the oldest of the three major credit bureaus. A breach of their web servers lasted from mid-May thru July 29th. The data that was stolen is referred to as PII (Personally Identifiable Information). This data includes names, social security numbers, birth dates, addresses, and more. The apparent cause of the breach was web servers that were not sufficiently patched. The vulnerability was first reported in March 2017.

Unfortunately, it took Equifax over a month to report the data loss.

Equifax has not only been hit with this data breach in the United States. It has been revealed, that the Argentina branch of Equifax had its website username and password setup as Admin/Admin. Logging in with information, granted full administrator privileges to add and remove employees and view their PII data. Are you kidding me?!

Why does this keep happening and what should you do?

There is absolutely no excuse for a mega-large corporation that houses financial data to skimp on proper tools and procedures. Specific details are still coming to light, but it will be interesting to see if this was

For many small and medium businesses ROI (return on investment) is a major driving factor where to invest more limited budgets and other resources. Cybersecurity and backup/disaster recovery tools only have a ROI if you have a problem. I can speak from first-hand experience when warning a potential client to invest more in security precautions, only to be told, “Oh we’ve never had a problem”. In this hyper connected age, it’s not a matter of if, but when you will experience an accidental breach or data loss. In addition, if you don’t have the appropriate tools in place, you wouldn’t know if you had a problem to start with.

There is a trust placed upon you if you run a doctor’s office, insurance, school, bank, or other entity that requires significant PII. Customers know that sensitive data is needed at these institutions, but clients expect that it is inherently safe. This applies to all businesses, from a small 2-person company to a 50,000 employee, multinational organization.

In light of the Equifax breach, what should you do? At a minimum, you will want setup fraud alerts on your credit report. You can contact any of the 3 credit monitoring services to setup fraud alerts. The 3rd party service Credit Karma is offering free credit monitoring as part of its free products.

If you know you will not be applying for new credits or loans, you should consider freezing your credit. This will prevent any unauthorized individual from attempting to use your PII to open new lines of credit, but they can still attempt to use existing lines of credit. There is typically a small fee associated with it and it will be necessary to freeze your credit reports at all 3 major bureaus directly. The U.S. Senate is working on a bill making all credit freezes free, expanding fraud alerts, and forcing Equifax to refund fees to people that paid for freezes after the breach disclosure.

THE SWEET SIDE OF THINGS Marc Ast

It is the time of the year when our broom fight with the leaves brought in by the cool breeze tells us that Fall is right around the corner. We recently returned from a trip to Europe and while visiting many of the chocolate shops in Brussels and Berlin I was very surprised to find that the country of origin label requirement is not enforced in Europe as it is here in the

United States.

It made us wonder if our customers in Culpeper are always aware of the product origin of the foods they purchase, be it chocolate or anything else. In a world where globalization is very common, it clearly is not always easy to decipher when you make your purchase.

While you ought to expect this process to be handled by your local retailer, it is important that you as the ultimate consumer, ensure that you do read the labels and know the provenance of the product that you are buying and consuming. While some of us do not believe this step is a necessity, more consumers than ever see this step an important part of their shopping experience.

As I hope many of you do, I often ask for U.S.

made products, simply put because it supports our own economy, no politics here rather common sense for shopping locally and nationally.

The best possible principle is to know where products are made and never be fooled by the name in front of the chocolate bar because it can be misleading so buyer beware. A couple of examples of this are below. ➤ See Consumer, Page 18

18 Reach Your Customers in the Next Issue—Call 540.812.2282 ➤ Consumer, from Page 17 Last year we received molded chocolate Santa Claus’s as part of our holiday selection of items for sale which was presented as having been made by a very well-known German brand.

The packaging was very catchy and the price was affordable; however, when the product arrived we read that it was manufactured in Romania and not manufactured in the highly disciplined German factory. This has become a very common practice in manufacturing, where the product is made very

inexpensively in countries such as Romania, China, Taiwan, etc. and finished in countries such as Japan, France, Germany and then are labeled as having been made in Japan, France, or Germany but if you read the label more closely you will find out that it wasn’t.

While we are unable to verify the claim for Romanian standards of production, we did not want to take any risk and immediately refused the product.

Sometimes you find yourself in the crossfire amid international politics, it was the case last year when we received a small collection of pralines with nuts, proudly called “Noble Nuts.”

Culpeper Times • Sept.21-27, 2017 The line was produced by our favorite brand Neuhaus chocolates.

During a meeting in Brussels a few weeks ago with the Director of Marketing of that venerable institution, I made them aware that in the past, one of the Noble nuts could no longer have been sold in our store, simply because the nut was the Pistachio from Iran and this was a breach of U.S. laws.

While there were no consequences because this was in the past, at the time is was a breach against U. S. sanctions.

A local retail store has the advantage over large department stores in the sense that the owners tend to know many of the small

producers personally and it allows for a more thorough knowledge of their product.

At the end of the day, customer beware and especially be informed.

We would love to hear from you and get your feedback and opinion on the subject.

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC OF AN APPLICATION BY COLUMBIA GAS OF VIRGINIA, INC., FOR APPROVAL TO AMEND A SAVE PLAN PURSUANT TO VIRGINIA CODE § 56-604 AND TO IMPLEMENT A 2018 SAVE PLAN INFRASTRUCTURE RELIABILITY AND REPLACEMENT ADJUSTMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH SECTION 20 OF ITS GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS CASE NO. PUR-2017-00095

On August 15, 2017, Columbia Gas of Virginia, Inc. (“CVA” or “Company”), filed with the State Corporation Commission (“Commission”) an application for approval to amend Phase 2 of its SAVE Plan pursuant to the Steps to Advance Virginia’s Energy Plan (SAVE) Act, Chapter 26 of Title 56 (“SAVE Act”) of the Code of Virginia (“Code”), and for approval to implement a 2018 Infrastructure Reliability and Replacement Adjustment (“IRRA”) (“Application”).

In its Application, the Company requests approval to increase the total five-year (2016-2020) cap on authorized Phase 2 SAVE Plan expenditures from $150 million to $173.8 million, and to maintain the 5% tolerance band authorized in Case No. PUE 2015-00071 (“2015 SAVE Order”). According to the Company, its investments in the replacement of large-scale SAVE eligible projects limit the funds available for smaller projects, and the Company anticipates that it will exceed the current five-year cap of $150 million if the Company maintains the current rate of SAVE investments. CVA is not proposing to modify the operational aspects of its current SAVE Plan or the authorized categories of SAVE eligible infrastructure, nor is the Company proposing any other substantive changes to the terms and conditions of the SAVE Plan.

Section 56-604 A of the SAVE Act allows CVA to recover SAVE eligible infrastructure costs (as defined in Code § 56-603) through a SAVE Rider, which is defined in the Company’s tariff as the IRRA. Accordingly, CVA requests authority to implement a 2018 IRRA in accordance with Section 20 of its General Terms and Conditions, as contemplated in the Commission’s November 28, 2011 Order Approving SAVE Plan and Rider in Case No. PUE-2011-00049, as modified by the July 3, 2013 Order Approving Amended SAVE Plan in Case No. PUE-2013-00015 and extended by the 2015 SAVE Order. The 2018 IRRA comprises a 2016 Infrastructure Replacement Reconciliation Rate (“IRRR”) and a 2018 Infrastructure Replacement Current Rate (“IRCR”) and is billed as a combined fixed charge each month. The 2016 IRRR is designed to true-up the IRCR in effect for calendar year 2016 to the actual SAVE costs experienced during that time period, and the 2018 IRCR is designed to recover projected costs associated with SAVE-eligible infrastructure replacements during calendar year 2018.

In its Application, the Company seeks approval of the following: (1) the Company’s 2016 IRRR credit in the amount of $1,263,556; (2) the Company’s 2018 IRCR in the amount of $5,740,130; and (3) the filing of rate sheets implementing the 2018 IRCR and 2016 IRRR. The 2018 IRCR and the 2016 IRRR result in an IRRA total net charge to customers of $4,476,574 for 2018. The Company requests that the 2018 IRRA be effective with the first billing unit of January 2018 through the last billing unit of December 2018. The Company’s 2018 IRRA proposed monthly rates by rate schedule are as follows: Residential Sales Service / Residential Transportation Service, $1.14; Small General Service 1 / Small General Transportation Service 1, $1.24; Small General Service 2 / Small General Transportation Service 2, $3.30; Small General Service 3 / Small General Transportation Service 3, $10.17; Large General Service 1 / Transportation Service 1, $96.59; and Large General Service 2 / Transportation Service 2, $463.14.

The details of these and other proposals are set forth in the Company’s Application. Interested persons are encouraged to review the Company’s Application and supporting testimony and exhibits for the details of these proposals. While the total revenue that may be approved by the Commission is limited to the amount produced by the Company’s proposed rates, TAKE NOTICE that the Commission may approve revenues and adopt rates, fees, charges, tariff revisions, and terms and conditions of service that differ from those appearing in the Application and supporting documents and may apportion revenues among customer classes and/or design rates in a manner differing from that shown in the Application and supporting documents.

The Commission entered an Order for Notice and Comment that, among other things, directed the Company to provide notice to the public and provided interested persons an opportunity to comment on the Company’s Application.

A copy of the Company’s Application may be obtained at no charge by requesting a copy of the same from the Company’s counsel, James S. Copenhaver, Esquire, Columbia Gas of Virginia, Inc., 1809 Coyote Drive, Chester, Virginia 23836.
