Culpeper Town Police Chief Chris Jenkins adopted one of thousands of beagles seized from a breeding and research facility in time for October’s Adopt a Shelter Pet Month, according to the department’s social media.

Months ago, a federal judge authorized the seizure of over 4,000 beagles from the Envigo breeding and research facility in Cumberland, Va. U.S. Department of Agriculture o cials had found dozens of violations of federal regulations that resulted in malnourished, sick, injured, and even dead beagles over the past two years.

Federal authorities had 60 days to remove and rehome the thousands of beagles, placing rehoming duties to the Humane Society of the

United States. The Humane Society divided the beagles into smaller groups, which were then transferred to over 120 shelter and rescue groups across the nation.

One of those beagles was 11-month-old Abby.

Jenkins adopted Abby courtesy of Lucky Dog Animal Rescue of Arlington, Va., the post said.

Prior to leaving Envigo, Abby had spent her entire life in a pen. Like the other beagles, she had an ID serial number tattoo on the inside of her left ear.

Less than a month after joining her new family, Abby has a love for treats, toys, the outdoors, meeting new people, and naps in the sunshine on the sofa, the post said.

It’s beautiful how they keep on fighting and never give up,”

After an uphill battle, Culpeper Town Council voted to end the longstanding dispute over the name of a local lake.

During the council’s Oct. 11 meeting, a motion was made to change the name of Lake Pelham, which is named after Alabama-native Confederate Major John Pelham, to Lake Culpeper. It passed with a 5-4 vote.

Those in favor of the name change were Mayor Frank Reaves Jr. as well as council members Meaghan Taylor, Billy Yowell, Jamie Clancey and Travis Brown while Joe Short, Erick Kalenga, Janie Schmidt and Michael Olinger dissented.

Prior to voting, members spoke about the e ectiveness and meaning behind the name change.

“We heard a lot from community members that this name of Lake Culpeper would be very meaningful and important to them, so I think this

Culpeper

is a great way to honor that,” Clancey said.

“My concern continues to be that changing the name really isn’t going to get to the heart of the issue, what truly is the problem, and that is this division we have, divisiveness

regarding race,” Short said. “Changing the name doesn’t, I don’t believe, and the many people that have contacted me, (believe that) changing the name is going to help us create unity. It’s just going to introduce additional disunity.”

controversial name to Lake Culpeper.

Clancey explained there are a number of other locations named after Pelham around Culpeper and simply changing the name of one location would be a compromise. Neither

Culpeper school survey yields dramatic results

BY Ray Finefrock

It took two years longer than originally anticipated, but at its Sept. 12 meeting, the Culpeper County School Board finally got to hear results from the second Youth Risk Behavior and Experiences Survey.

“The pandemic created a huge disruption in the lives of students, so it’s not surprising there were many changes both positive and negative in terms of risk and health-related

behavior for CCPS students,” said Founding Director of the Center for Survey Research at the University of Virginia Dr. Thomas Guterbock, who oversaw the survey.

The survey, started in 2017, was meant to be repeated in 2020, however, school closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic put a halt on the plans.

In comparison with the 2017 results, the 2022 survey showed students feel less safe in school now. A contributing factor, the survey creators cautioned, may have been due to risk of infection from COVID-19 rather than violence.

The survey, however, cited a substantial increase in students reporting they had been threatened with a weapon despite instances of

she nor her colleagues on council, to her knowledge, has any intention of changing the remaining locations’ names.

Pelham died in Culpeper after su ering injuries su ered when an exploded artillery shell struck his head during the 1863 Battle of Kelly’s Ford.

During a February 2021 meeting, the council voted 5-4 that the lake should be renamed and the matter referred to the Light & Power and Environmental Services Committee to initiate the process of proposing a

A few months later in May, the council considered a recommendation from the committee to rename Lake Pelham to Lake Culpeper, however, the motion failed.

Last month, however, the Public Safety, Public Works, Planning & Community Development Committee considered a motion to again suggest the renaming. The motion passed and thus the recommendation forwarded to the council for final decisions.

According to town documents, the estimated cost to rename Lake Pelham is $9,000, which includes the replacement signage for the lake

physical fights being reportedly lower.

Cigarette smoking and smokeless tobacco use is reportedly down in 2022, but electronic cigarette use – known as “vaping” – has increased. There was less alcohol use among students in grades 9-12, but more in grades 7-8.

Students reported a higher percentage of anxiety, sadness and/or suicidal thoughts with 65.1% in 2022 compared to 53.3% in 2017.

Just over 16% of students taking the 2022 survey reported they had been involved in dating violence, a 3% increase from the previous survey year.

“The survey goals were to examine the extent of risky behaviors and experiences of Culpeper County High School youth, to compare equivalent measures to the 2017 survey and to

state and national data and to use the current information to develop curricula and programs to address risks to youths well-being,” Guterbock said.

Two, perhaps unsurprising, takeaways from the 2022 survey showed students reported less physical activity, more television watching and playing of video games. Students also reported getting less hours of sleep in 2022 than in 2017.

Guterbock said the School Health Advisory Board could use the survey findings to determine where funds might be best used to promote the health and well-being of students in Culpeper County.

The funds will be transferred from General Fund Reserves to Parks & Recreation Operating Supplies to purchase replacement signage.

Increased breast cancer awareness remains vital

Each year in the United States, around 255,000 cases of breast cancer in women are diagnosed.

BY Erik J. Martin | CTW Features

Breast cancer remains the most common type of cancer globally and the second leading cause of death in women. Each year in the United States, around 255,000 cases of breast cancer in women are diagnosed ver-

sus 2,300 cases in men, and it is estimated that breast cancer takes the lives of 42,000 females and 500 males in America every year, per data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. About one in eight women will develop breast cancer in their lifetimes.

Sobering statistics like these remind us of how crucial it is to be cognizant of the risks as well as proactive in our approaches toward breast cancer prevention and testing.

“Breast cancer awareness is extremely important among the public.

Housing development proposed for Ira Hoffman Lane

The single family home development would be called Kite Acres.

Culpeper County’s planning commission will soon hear from a Fredericksburg-based commercial real estate agency who has their sights set on the development of a 61-lot subdivision for single family homes on Ira Ho man Lane.

Rappahannock Development Group via Chief Development O -

cer Chris Hornung seeks approval for their preliminary plan of the lot, which sits on the corner of Rixeyville Road and Ira Ho man Lane in the Stevensburg Magisterial District. The development, set to be named Kite Acres, contains a total of 36.20 acres.

The planning commission re-

viewed the preliminary plan during a meeting on Oct. 12 to determine its conformance with the standards contained in the county’s code. The property is already zoned R-2 (Residential). Discussions and a determination were unavailable before press time.

be diagnosed, and it would be kept a secret. The patient would feel ashamed, and those around them feared it could be contagious,” said

Mendez, MD, clinical lead and oncology consultant for Cleveland-based Care Oncology.

“Thankfully, the medical community has made a big e ort in breaking these myths, and breast cancer educational programs have grown tremendously throughout the country over the years.”

One major factor that has enhanced recognition and understanding of this disease has been Breast Cancer Awareness Month, first established in 1985.

“I was at first greatly annoyed by all the attention to breast cancer in October, when everything I saw was pink – football player cleats, cans of soup, kitchen strainers, even our newspaper,” said Meg Sta ord, a licensed clinical social worker in Littleton, Massachusetts, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2007. “At that time, I did not want reminders of all the treatments and chemicals I received. But I came to appreciate this raised awareness in the following years, even as my gratitude was profound, as these treatments have saved my life.”

Jill Binkley, founder of the nonprofit TurningPoint Breast Cancer

Rehabilitation, and a two-time breast cancer survivor, says greater public consciousness about breast cancer has significantly contributed to higher screening rates for breast cancer.

“That’s important, as proper screening can catch the disease early enough when it is most treatable,” Binkley said, who particularly credits the Susan G. Komen Foundation with helping to spread the word about breast cancer prevention and treatment and driving down mortality rates.

Janice Johnston, MD, chief medical o cer and co-founder of Redirect Health in Glendale, Arizona, appreciates that several significant e orts have been made to grow breast cancer awareness further.

“These include social media campaigns, commercials, and the global focus on educating and encouraging females to conduct at-home self-exams,” Johnston said. “There have also been many scientific advancements in recent years that have made early detection of breast can- cer easier for providers, including improved imaging technology and nanotechnology. Increased awareness has also pushed for improvements to certain standards for routine checking of breast cancer, such as new recommendations for women at a certain age – usually 40 to 50 years old, to begin routine mammograms and for high-risk patients to receive more routine screenings earlier.”

Air Fest vital for Culpeper’s youth VOICES

BY Randi Richards-Lutz

Last week the skies over Culpeper were alive with the sounds of airplanes and helicopters. A visit to the Culpeper Airport would have a orded one a view of over 600 excited 5th graders participating in the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) program or maybe one would have seen our CTEC (Culpeper Technical Education Center) Culinary Arts students catering Sponsor Night Lights. Whichever the case, Culpeper County had much to be proud of as we celebrated 22 years of Culpeper

aviation.

Coined “the best little airshow in the east,” the Air Fest has transformed from a one day event to a week long showcase of honoring our history, educating our youth, and entertaining all, young and old.

While I am not a Culpeper native, my 27 years here has allowed me to experience our airshow from its beginnings to now. We have so many people to thank over the years for making this amazing week a reality. From being a spectator to helping plan STEM to watching my children

grow up at the Air Fest, I am so grateful for all of those volunteers, sponsors, pilots, airport employees, and more. Our airport and these events are another reason that Culpeper Countyis a great place to live, learn, and love.

Cally Tales | Cally’s Résumé

Things at my house are a little unusual these days. My human went sailing through the kitchen a few weeks ago, slipped on something slippery, and crashed on the fl oor. Nothing is broken but she uses something she calls a walking stick to get around. It’s temporary, she says. Nevertheless, I spend more time than usual at her side, being a comfort and joy.

Oliver, my studious cat friend, Googled all of this information and assured me it is not unusual for humans since they only have two legs, not four, to walk on. And their sense of balance, he said, doesn’t even come close to that of a cat – especially if they are carrying dishes in both hands.

But when Oliver heard she is even older than me, he twitched his ears, rolled his eyes, and suggested it might be time to get my resume up to date. I guess it wouldn’t hurt.

To begin with, when I was barely six weeks old, I was thrown out of a car onto a busy highway on a rainy, dark night. I managed to cross the road without mishap and hunker down in wet weeds until morning. Mark me down as a survivor.

I was rescued by a kind lady and taken to my present human’s house for adoption. I lapped milk without instruction and used the litter box by instinct. I turned my face toward the wall, however, when I “pottied” the fi rst time in the box. Mark me down as modest or fastidious, whichever sounds best.

As an adolescent, I leaped about like a kangaroo and discovered birds on the shelf above me. I

I expect my human to fill my food dish before snuggling into bed at 10 p.m., to keep my litter box scooped, to scratch my chin for 10 minutes after breakfast, to keep a good supply of treats on hand, to keep out of my way when I decide to race through the house at 10 miles per hour for exercise, to admire me when I stretch out on my back, and to stroke me often and lovingly.

attacked them and brought them to the fl oor like a mighty hunter. They were, however, made of porcelain, not fl esh and blood. Mark me down for learning my lesson the fi rst time, and not having to repeat it.

I lived in a wooded area where mice invaded my basement. I instinctively caught, bit, released, chased, and repeated the process until the mouse looked like a pin cushion and surrendered from exhaustion. I even laid them out mafi a style between the oil tank and the furnace for my human to view. Mark me down as a mighty hunter.

Now that I live in Virginia and have no basement, I stalk bugs and spiders and eliminate them with

a paw swat. Mark me down as a hunter, although not as mighty.

When bored, I do sand sculptures in my litter box. That’s only when the litter is fresh and clean. Mark me down as fastidious. Maybe even artistic.

For entertainment, I chase my tail. Sometimes in the shower stall. The other day when my tail was twitching during my nap time, I reached out with a paw and reigned it in. Mark me down as creative.

Also for entertainment, I listen to Pat Boone singing hymns in the Holy Land on a DVD. I love his voice. It’s right up there with George Beverly Shea. Mark me down as having good musical taste.

Most of all, I am a creature of habit. I expect my human to fi ll my food dish before snuggling into bed at 10 p.m., to keep my litter box scooped, to scratch my chin for 10 minutes after breakfast, to keep a good supply of treats on hand, to keep out of my way when I decide to race through the house at 10 miles per hour for exercise, to admire me when I stretch out on my back, and to stroke me often and lovingly.

Is that too much to ask? I think not. I’m a bargain at any price.

Purrfectly yours, Cally

OBITUARIES

ANNA GILBERT

On June 17, 2022, Our Heavenly Father called Anna Gilbert home. Anna was born on January 19, 1930 at her parent’s home in Malaga, NJ to Romeo and Mary DeFeo. She grew up working on the family farm with her 5 brothers and 4 sisters. In 1955, she met and married Robert A. Gilbert, and together they traveled the world and raised 3 wonderful children. After living in Germany, Canada, and several locations in the US, the family ultimate ly settled in California, though her lifelong wanderlust would eventually see Anna move to Rixeyville, VA in 2020 with her youngest daughter and her son, coming full circle to live the last years of her life on a new family farm. Anna worked many jobs in her life, and brought her dedication, passion, and innova tion to each. Anna was a storyteller of moral tales to rival Aesop, though she preferred true stories to fables. A lifelong lover of the sun, she could often be caught outside in the middle of a hot summer day moving heavy pots around her garden (always insisting to her concerned family that she was merely wiggling them back and forth, not lifting them). Anna was a devout Catholic who wouldn’t go to bed with out praying the Divine Mercy, and she always had a rosary readily available somewhere on her person, though she was prone to passing them out to those she felt were in need.

A home-taught chef and baker, Anna created many masterpiece meals in the kitchen (even when all she had available was hamburger) including her meatballs, her gnocchi, and her sauce, though her family would likely agree that her absolute specialty was her bread. Although she taught the recipe to her chil dren and her grandchildren, none of them have yet been able to replicate her perfect rhythm as she kneaded the dough. She was also known to experiment making her own jams, jellies, and flavored liquors, which were passed around on special occasions for tast ings with the family.

Anna was passionate about making sure her family had a well-rounded education, was endlessly proud of each of her children and grandchildren for their educational achieve ments, and loved their hockey matches and football games as much as she loved their opening nights and concerts. To the fam ily dogs (and even some of her daughter’s horses) she was known as the Cookie Lady, and could often be heard saying, “Now no more” as she passed out at least 2 more cook ies apiece to each pup sitting nearby. Anna’s home was always a place of love and the cen ter of life for her family and friends.

Anna is preceded in death by her parents, Romeo and Mary DeFeo, brothers Anthony, George, Pat, Nick, and Angelo DeFeo, sisters Pauline Nicastro and Angelina Congdon, and her loving husband of 62 years, Robert A. Gilbert. Anna leaves behind her daughter and sonin-law Barbara and Darryl Curry, son and daughter-in-law Robert Jr. and Lisa Gilbert, daughter Catherine Gilbert, grandchildren George Curry, Anna Curry, Robert Gilbert III, Jessica Gilbert, and Melissa Gilbert, sis ters Jean Fanucci and Ramona Sansalone, and numerous nieces and nephews.

A rosary will be held on October 20, 2022 at 4:15 PM at St. John the Evangelist Church, Warrenton, VA. A Mass of Christian Burial will be held at the Old Post Chapel at Fort Myer on October 21, 2022 at 12:45 PM with interment to follow at Arlington National Cemetery In lieu of flowers, the family request donations be made to either the Basilica of the Nation al Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C. or to EWTN, Irondale, AL.

Middle St. Gallery Shows New Work by Thomas Spande

Other members of the non-profit artists’ cooperative will also show

works during the period.

“I’m captivated by the Piedmont’s landscape as well as by subjects I find on my frequent New England travels,” said Sperryville artist, Spande. “I hoped to add gravitas to these works on paper that oils tend to have more naturally. Additionally, I worked to deepen an interpretative side in these

works, alluding to multiple meanings or to the passage of time.”

His works showcase these e orts, from a row of old seaside houses sandwiched between dramatically churning sky and surf, to a simple but starkly rendered drawing of a Boston Terrier. Spande describes them as “lively watercolors, perhaps in the tradition of Winslow Homer, and detailed and well-worked pencil drawings.”

Spande, 50, was born in Washington, D.C. and has spent many weekends in Rappahannock County, where he has exhibited in numerous street fairs and at two local art galleries. His long exploration of diverse styles often aim to show, he says, “the structures and deeper meanings of things...something akin to synesthesia – where the visual stands for the awakening of other senses.”

Middle Street Gallery, which has kept its name, is now at 311 Gay Street, lower level, with an entrance on Main St. across from Ballard’s. The gallery, www.middlestreetgallery.org and (540) 675-1313, is open Fri., Sat., and Sun. from 11-5 p.m.
