H E A LT H What you need to know about rotator cuff tears What do a baseball player and a window cleaner have in common? Both are at increased risk of a rotator cuff tear while on the job due to continuous movement of the shoulder joint.

Shoulders are the most mobile joints in the human body and allow a wide range of movement. They are powered by a group of 17 muscles, but rotator cuffs – the four tendons surrounding the ball and socket joint – play an important role in our shoulders’ fine movements and functionality. Tears to the rotator cuff can occur either due to an acute injury or long term wear and tear.

Elisabeth Robinson, MD, an orthopedic surgeon at Culpeper Medical Center, a Novant Health UVA Health System facility, helps us understand the difference between the two types of tears.

Acute Tears Acute tears occur when “normal” shoulders have an injury, often caused

by reaching out and grabbing onto something to stop a fall. Every day movements like shoveling snow, picking up a heavy box or lifting weights, or jobs requiring a lot of overhead movement can also cause acute tears.

“Acute rotator cuff tears should be evaluated and treated early,” says Dr. Robinson. “About 80-95 percent of people in this category will need surgery to repair their tears, so the earlier they are seen and treated, the better. Unfortunately for the patient – but good for ensuring quick treatment – acute tears often cause immense pain and prompt people to seek a physician’s evaluation right away.”

Dr. Robinson adds that the recovery process for rotator cuff surgery is a lengthy one, often taking up to six months for shoulders to regain full functionality.

Chronic Tears The more common type of rotator

cuff tear is chronic tears, which happen over time due to wear and tear on the tendons. Much like car engines over years of use require tuneups, physicians frequently see patients with rotator cuff pain as they age.

“Some studies show that by the age of 80, 50 percent of people will experience a rotator cuff injury. With chronic tears, we see patients whose ➤ See Rotator, Page 7

NPCF creates scholarship opportunitiess for future generations As 2019 dawns, hundreds of area high school seniors face a certain truth: graduation is just down the road.

In 2017, NPCF managed 27 separate funds and awarded more than $133,000 to college-bound seniors. Just a year later, it added several new funds, including a vocational and technical education scholarship. It also nearly doubled its award total to $256,750, which contained $72,500 in first-time renewable scholarships. The 2019 scholarship application season launched on December 21, and applicants (and their parents) should be excited by the possibilities!

Scholarships available to all Culpeper County residents: Culpeper Rotary Foundation Scholarship for Two-Year Technical or Trade Degree or Technical School Diploma or Certificate (one $500 award) Qualified candidates must show a desire and aptitude to succeed in their career. Preference is given to applicants who demonstrate community involvement and volunteerism.

Culpeper Rotary Foundation Scholarship for Four-Year Degree ($1,000 renewable award) Qualified applicants must show a desire and aptitude to succeed in their college career and maintain at least a 2.5 GPA to renew the award each year.

Preference is given to applicants who demonstrate community involvement and volunteerism.

CULPEPER YOUTH SPOTLIGHT

Paige Simpson (Editor's note: This is weekly series highlighting members of Culpeper's Youth Council. To join Culpeper Youth, go to www.culpeperyouth.org to apply.)

Culpeper Youth has a mission to speak out about what is affecting teens the most, which is exactly what we are striving to do with this upcoming Teen Talks. Every teen has faced some sort of stereotyping, no matter what district, state, or country they are from. There is a stigma surrounding the ideal teen, which does fit many of us. As a result of this, we are square pegs pushed into round holes as a consequence for expressing ourselves in certain ways. This selfdepreciating manner is the basis for bullying worldwide. This issue extends much farther than Culpeper, but it is and issue that needs voice, and this is the initial action. If more teens speak out, we can resolve so many issues, issues larger than ourselves. Teens are commonly seen on the news addressing hard hitting issues that affect their everyday lives. Teen Talks is the movement made by Culpeper’s youth in order to so just that. Specifically, our speakers at this month’s presentation of Teen Talks are aiming to reveal the underlying societal pressures that evolve to become one of the biggest issues teens face today, and we hope you will support the movement.

LOCAL NEWS Rev. Ludwell Brown 2018 Citizen of the Year ➤ Longtime minister's booming voice is well known in Culpeper County

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer You may not know Rev. Ludwell Brown, but you’ve most certainly heard him.

Brown’s booming voice reverberates throughout any venue he speaks at - usually delivering an invocation or message on behalf of veterans.

Brown’s accomplishments span decades in Culpeper County. His positivity, passion and ability to energize any crowd he speaks to is what made our choice for the 2017 Culpeper Times Citizen of the Year.

Brown retired from the Army with the rank of Sgt. Major and has served as minister of the Mt. Calvary Baptist Church for 24 years. He’s a member of the Wayland Blue Ridge Baptist Association, the Culpeper Ministerial Association, the Culpeper Heat Shelter Oversight Committee, he’s a past president of the Culpeper Chapter of the NAACP and has served as on the Culpeper Human Services Board as CHS Board Liaison to Head Start Policy Council.

He was instrumental in the Early Head Start program’s recent implementation and construction.

A veteran himself, he gives tirelessly to honor veterans speaking and saying prayers at numerous events at Culpeper ➤ See Brown, Page 5

“To know Rev. Brown is to know one of the most courageous, humbling, and patriotic men that exist today,” said Matthew Priest, U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, Director, Culpeper, Winchester, Staunton, and Balls Bluff National Cemeteries. “Rev. Brown’s love of country shows not only in his 32 years of service in the United States Army, but also his continued service to this community. The Culpeper National Cemetery is honored to have Rev. Brown as part of our team because of his love of country and devotion to our Veterans.”

Brown also has worked as a guardian, assisting individuals who have n one to care for them and helps insure their end of life last wishes are carried out.

His always uplifting personality shines through - with anyone he comes in contact with, but especially seniors. His face lights up when he interacts with seniors - which he does on almost daily basis, giving of himself at nursing homes and retirement communities.

pendence Parade, was named one of Aging Together’s 5 over 50 Award Winners and was a recipient of the Good Scout Award.

“We are always in need of exemplary role models and no one could ask for a better one than Rev. Ludwell Brown,” local historian and longtime friend Zann Nelson said.

“He is the epitome of the “family man;” he served his country proudly, and he serves his community without reservation. I have been privileged to work alongside Rev. Brown and honored to call him colleague and friend.”

A native of Fauquier County, Brown graduated from Taylor High School in Orlean in 1964 and joined the Army. He was drafted and recalled during a Veteran’s Day ceremony at Culpeper County High School the experience of opening the envelope from “Uncle Sam” in front of his mother.

“I had not seen my mother cry before,” Brown said.

“To see her hand me this letter, and turn her head and walk off assured me that something important had to be in that letter. The only thing I could say was ‘Mom, don’t worry about it, it’s going to be alright.’”

Brown was more than alright,

he said, because God had already ordained his way.

He made a career out of the military, married his wife Evelyn, had three children and became a qualified tanker in the Army.

He later was promoted to Master Sergeant where he, as he proudly tells it, cooked for generals and heads of state.

While he has a passion for helping older people, he is also a beacon for the younger generation - encouraging them and driving them to do better.

His passion, his drive is what

helped make him successful and he asked the students at CCHS to put forth the same effort in everything they do - including honoring the veterans assembled.

“I busted my butt every day I showed up for the job,” Brown said.

“I did not take one day for granted that I had it made. When you put forth 100 percent in anything you do in life, can’t nobody hold you back.”

If you see Rev. Brown, greet him with a resounding “HORAH!” and thank him for all he does.

We certainly do.

From left: Lillian, Myrtle, mother Ida and Allie Thompson. This is the only known photograph of Allie Thompson.

It was a marriage made in heaven as far as Nelson was concerned. Having the King Commission present the resolution meant there would be more resources available to carry the resolution forward as well as to provide excellent work throughout the coming years.

Nelson was appointed to the MLK Commission’s History of Lynching in the Commonwealth resolution work group along with some familiar faces. Joining Nelson were co-directors of the documentary “An Outrage,” Hannah Ayers and Lance Warren and Charles Allie Thompson’s great-niece Kamille Gardner.

Ayers and Warren spoke in Culpeper in September and Gardner visited Culpeper County in November during a commemoration of Thompson’s death. The 15-member work group met in September to determine the King Commission’s tasks going forward and then again in December to make amendments to the resolution.

The bill, 19103777D, was introduced on the first day of the General Assembly Jan. 9.

This year’s session is a short session: January 9 through February 22. “It will move quickly, Nelson said. I and Thompson family members ➤ See Resolution, Page 7

➤ Resolution, from Page 6 plan to be in the gallery when the resolution comes to the floor for a vote."

When Nelson was testing the waters prior to the King Commission’s decision she found the potential for bipartisan support encouraging. “I had done my homework and included it with the material submitted. There were similar resolutions adopted by the US Congress, the US Senate and a Joint Resolution regarding slavery passed by the VA General Assembly in 2007 in concert with the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown.”

2019 is the 400th anniversary of the arrival of the first Africans to the Virginia Colony. “There is precedence and the timing is good, Nelson thought. Plus, no other state has enacted such a resolution; Virginia would take a leadership role and be the first,” she added.

At the December meeting Sen. McClellan shared with the committee that she had shared the first draft with the speakers of both the House and the Senate, the feedback she received was that they had no issue with the resolution.

“That makes me want to jump for joy, Nelson stated. It doesn’t mean someone else won’t have objections, but it is encouraging.”

The resolution begins (seen in its full text in sidebar) resolves to “by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the General Assembly hereby acknowledge with profound regret the existence and acceptance of lynching within the Commonwealth and call for reconciliation among all Virginians.”

“I would never want to count my chickens before they hatch, let’s just say I’m cautiously optimistic,” Nelson said. “We are in a time of too much hate, violence accompanied by an absence of tolerance and civility. I think the passing of this resolution and the ensuing work of the King Commission will set us on a path toward healing, reconciliation and the prevention of such travesties repeating. I am so very grateful to Sen. McClellan and the extraordinary mission and work of the King Commission: without them, this long journey may never have come to fruition. The passage of HJR 665 will be a striking moment in time for all Virginians.”

Gardner said it’s important to address the instances of lynching and to bring to light the atrocities that occurred in the Commonwealth, so families can heal.

“It’s extremely critical,” Gardner said. “There’s a part of our history that we go back and address and recognize and remember those hard moments so we can avoid those moving forward.”

There were an estimated 100 documented lynchings in the Commonwealth, but it’s a subject matter that is not often taught in classrooms.

HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION NO. 655 WHEREAS, the year 2019 marks the 400th anniversary of the arrival to the Jamestown settlement of the first Africans in what would become the United States, where they were enslaved, marking the beginning of nearly 250 years of slavery in the British colonies and in the new nation; and WHEREAS, throughout America’s history of slavery, segregation, and inequality, thousands of African Americans were lynched across America, particularly throughout the southern United States, to perpetuate racial inequality and white supremacy and to terrorize African American communities; and WHEREAS, during Reconstruction, the Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution were ratified, abolishing slavery, granting citizenship to any person born or naturalized in the United States, and guaranteeing the rights to due process of law and equal protection under the law and the right to vote for African American men; and WHEREAS, in outright defiance of the Reconstruction Amendments, people across the nation acted outside of the law, deliberately, violently, and brutally, against African American citizens in retribution for alleged or invented crimes and faced few or no consequences; and WHEREAS, the Equal Justice Initiative has documented more than 4,000 lynchings that took place throughout the South between 1877 and 1950, over 80 of which took place in Virginia; other scholarship documents more than 100 lynchings in Virginia; and WHEREAS, African American men, women, and children lived in fear that their lives and the lives of loved ones could end violently at any time and in any place; and WHEREAS, lynchings were often widely known and publicly attended; some were witnessed by crowds that numbered in the thousands, reflecting community acceptance, and many leaders and authorities and much of society denied and enabled the illegal and horrific nature of the acts; and WHEREAS, Richmond Planet editor John Mitchell, Jr., exposed lynchings in Virginia as they occurred and led the state’s antilynching campaign; however, despite his efforts and other accounts, historians believe still more lynchings remain undocumented; and WHEREAS, at the urging of Norfolk Virginia-Pilot editor Louis Isaac Jaffe and other antilynching activists, and to curtail mob violence in Virginia, the General Assembly passed an antilynching measure that was signed into law on March 14, 1928, declaring lynching a state crime; and WHEREAS, the extreme racial animus, violence, and terror embodied in the act of lynching did not die with the criminalization of the act, and few, if any, prosecutions occurred under the measure; and WHEREAS, the legacy of racism that outlived slavery, enabled the rise and acceptance of lynching, facilitated segregation and disenfranchisement, and denied education and civil rights to African Americans has yet to be uprooted in Virginia, the South, and the nation, and this dark and shameful chapter of American history must be understood, acknowledged, and fully documented and the seemingly irreparable breach mended; and WHEREAS, the most abject apology for past wrongs cannot right them; yet the spirit of true repentance on behalf of a government and, through it, a people can promote reconciliation and healing and avert the repetition of past wrongs and the disregard of manifested injustices; and WHEREAS, in 2010, the Equal Justice Initiative began investigating thousands of racial terror lynchings in the American South in an effort to understand the terror and trauma this sanctioned violence against the African American community created, resulting in the report Lynching in America: Confronting the Legacy of Racial Terror in 2015 and the opening of the Memorial for Peace and Justice on April 26, 2018, as the nation’s first memorial dedicated to the legacy of enslaved black people, people terrorized by lynching, African Americans humiliated by racial segregation and Jim Crow, and people of color burdened with contemporary presumptions of guilt and police violence; and WHEREAS, the Equal Justice Initiative created the Community Remembrance Project to create greater awareness and understanding about racial terror lynchings and to begin a necessary conversation that advances truth and reconciliation by working with communities to commemorate and recognize the traumatic era of lynching by collecting soil from lynching sites across the country and erecting historical markers and monuments in these spaces; and WHEREAS, the General Assembly established the Virginia Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Commission in 1992 to continue the work of Dr. King, himself a victim of violence, as he sought to realize his dream of a “Beloved Community” in which love, peace, and justice prevail over hatred and fear; now, therefore be it RESOLVED by the House of Delegates, the Senate concurring, That the General Assembly hereby acknowledge with profound regret the existence and acceptance of lynching within the Commonwealth and call for reconciliation among all Virginians; and, be it RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Virginia Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Commission make as complete a record as possible of each documented lynching that occurred in the Commonwealth of Virginia, including the names of the victims and the locations and circumstances of each occurrence, to be preserved on the Commission’s website, and develop programming to bring awareness and recognition of this history to communities across the state, that such awareness might contribute to the process of healing and reconciliation in Virginia’s still-wounded communities and for families and descendants affected by lynchings; and, be it RESOLVED FURTHER, That the Virginia Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Commission coordinate with the Department of Historic Resources to identify sites for historic markers to recognize documented lynchings and assist the Equal Justice Initiative in its Community Remembrance Project in the Commonwealth; and, be it RESOLVED FINALLY, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates transmit a copy of this resolution to the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Chairman and Executive Director of the State Council of Higher Education for Virginia, and the Chancellor of the Virginia Community College System requesting that they further disseminate copies of this resolution to their respective constituents so that they may be apprised of the sense of the General Assembly of Virginia in this matter.

Nelson said “too often the mindset has been to “let sleeping dogs lie” and subsequently “sweeping the issue under the rug. I don’t know of anything that really gets resolved by sweeping it under the rug; it remains a visible lump causing one to trip and fall and never knowing why.” Acknowledgement of the truth however painful is

cleansing and prescriptive.

The MLK Commission expects to develop a database on their website to allow the public to learn more about the victims and encourage communities across the Commonwealth to explore their own histories of lynching.

“I firmly believe that if the members of the joint legislative bodies

in the Virginia General Assembly wholeheartedly adopt this resolution, it will empower local communities to engage in research and commemorative activities. And it is no small consideration that in enacting the resolution the Commonwealth of Virginia sends a loud and positive statement to the nation.”

HOME & GARDEN Baby, the rain must fall While many readers may not be familiar with the flawed 1965 film “Baby, the Rain Must Fall,” starring Steve McQueen and Lee Remick, its title popped into my mind as I was

pondering 2018 precipitation totals here in Rappahannock County.

By July, many localities in Virginia had broken the annual average for precipitation in the commonwealth,

43 inches. I wanted to check the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s website for annual totals in Virginia for 2018, but NOAA, like most other federal agencies, was shut down. I instead just concentrated on Rappahannock, looking at data posted by county residents on our community Listserv, Rappnet, and at 14 years of data collected by Dave Yowell at his weather station in Gid Brown Hollow (GBH), near the town of Washington. Data collected by his station is available on its website (rappahannockweather.com).

When the drought that started in late summer 2017 finally ended last spring, precipitation quickly caught up.

Yowell’s data shows that the amount broke records from the previous 13 years several times, and the final total was remarkable: 74.69 inches (see chart). The average for the thirteen previous years at GBH, 43.64 inches, fit the historical Virginia average. The highest total rainfall for 2004-2017 was 51.37 inches, reached in 2011; the lowest, 33.44 inches, in 2007. The total precipitation for 2017 was 40.54 inches.

While daily totals at this weather station this year didn’t break records this year, the frequency of rain helped boost the total. June was the wettest month (10.53 inches), which did not set a record for that month, but the totals for July (8.36 inches) and August (8.63

inches) did.

Karen Henderson reported on Rappnet that Eric Kvarnes' Weather Underground station, which is “still up and running” south of Yowell’s in Gid Brown, showed 98.3 inches for last year’s total.

Missy McCool, who lives not far from Yowell, in Harris Hollow, reported 94.48 inches at her place.

With varying elevations and terrain, from the mountains and hollows of the Blue Ridge to the hills and flats of the Piedmont, Rappahannock has many microclimates. That means precipitation can vary wildly even from one hollow to the next and among different elevations. The next hollow west of Gid Brown is Old Hollow, where I live. At the upper end of the hollow, near the trailhead for Thornton River Trail, in Shenandoah National Park (SNP), Bruce Sloane has also been charting the rainfall. In a recent email, he said he hadn’t totaled all the data yet for 2018 but figured it would surpass 90 inches.

These higher totals come close to averages for Juneau, Alaska, on the southeast coast of Alaska. My brother lives there, and we discussed the weather here and there in our weekly phone call this past weekend. Juneau was built in what is now the Tongass, a large temperate rainforest that is ➤ See Rain, Page 9

After drought in the latter half of 2017 and early 2018, record-breaking rains have kept stream levels high and caused a host of problems.

Culpeper Times • January 10-16, 2019

➤ Rain, from Page 9 now a national forest. The city averages around 55-92 inches of precipitation per year, depending on the location.

This includes an average 88 inches of snow, which is equivalent in water content to about nine inches of rain.

Three other Rappahannock residents collecting precipitation data in different spots around the county reported lower totals than those in Gid Brown, Harris and Old hollows but none less than 74 inches.

The rain does have consequences beyond inconvenience and mooddampening. Among these is undermining and rotting tree roots, bringing trees crashing down. It may also be a factor in poor mast crops (acorns, berries, etc.) anecdotally reported in many places in the county, despite the overall abundance of mast in the Northern Piedmont region, according to the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries. Where I live, about a thousand feet up Oventop Mountain, the continual rains have brought down a stream of mud onto my driveway, turning my parking area into a Slip 'N Slide.

Although this week is mostly forecast to be dry, with only some snow, the last forecast from NOAA that I saw, in the fall, indicated that we are probably looking at a relatively cold, wet winter. I’m starting to reminisce about living in Seattle, where the precipitation average is just 37.49 inches. Instead of the deluges we get here, the precipitation often comes in the form of mist or light rain but typically was more frequent than here, which is depressing and not good for my allergy to mold. However, if the 2018 weather pattern persists, the Pacific Northwest is looking better and better.

One way to make the most out of what may be continued rainy weather is to get out and enjoy nature anyway.

Next week, the Clifton Institute, in Warrenton, is offering a workshop on how to identify trees in winter, and the Piedmont Chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society is kicking off its

January nature events “Winter Tree Identification Workshop” (Saturday, Jan. 19, 1-4 p.m.): Hosted by the Clifton Institute at its property in Warrenton, this workshop provides the tools for identifying many common trees in our area this time of year, when lack of leaves on deciduous trees makes this more difficult. On the walk, Dr. Emily Southgate, a botanist and historical ecologist who is a senior scientist at Hood College, introduces basic terminology used in tree identification and, using trees on the institute’s property as examples, shows how to use identification books and apps. The workshop focuses on native species but may include a few nonnatives. Warm, waterproof footwear is highly recommended; also useful is a hand lens, jackknife and binoculars. At 6712 Blantyre Rd., Warrenton; register at cliftoninstitute.org/events or email education associate Alison Zak at azak@ cliftoninstitute.org.

“Historical Botany” talk (Sunday, Jan. 20, 2 p.m.): The Piedmont chapter of the Virginia Native Plant Society kicks off this year’s Winter Speaker Series, on historical botany, with a talk

by Bert Harris, executive director of the Clifton Institute. Harris explains the organization’s plans to restore the grassland ecosystem using several strategies, including burning. The talk, at Emmanuel Episcopal Church Parish Hall, 9668 Maidstone Road, Delaplane, is free, and refreshments are provided. For more information, email piedmontvnps@ gmail.com. The chapter’s Second Sunday walk in Buck Hollow on Jan. 13 is fully booked but check for other walks and winter talks at vnps.org/events.

R E A L E S TAT E Town Council approves new monument at Yowell Meadow Park

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Culpeper Town Council voted 9-0 Tuesday night to approve a new monument at Yowell Meadow Park.

The Sons of the American Revolution and the Virginia Mist Group will partner to donate part of the funds to construct a Minute Men monument along with a Charters of Freedom Monument, located near the small parking lot by the basketball courts - above the floodplain.

Culpeper Town Councilman Pranas Rimeikis questioned the use of taxpayer dollars to help fund the project, saying the project was not in the capital improvement plan for the fiscal year.

The total cost of the project is $33,845 with the Sons of the American Revolution paying $16,115. The town will pay $17,730 to pave the ➤ See Monument, Page 11

➤ Monument, from Page 10 nearly 1,500 square foot area - a 30foot diameter circle - reinforce concrete footers, add access sidewalks and to provide benches and landscaping.

The SAR’s donation will include the historical panels needed for the Charters of Freedom Monument replicas of the Declaration of Independence, the United States Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.

Rimeikis asked if money for the project was appropriated for the project.

Director of Planning and Community Development Charles Rapp answered that it was not.

“My concern is about financing and the process we through,” Rimeikis said. “This is the second month in a row we’ve taken money appropriated and put it somewhere else.”

Rimeikis expressed concern with “how we’ve been doing business and now we’re doing business a different

way.”

Culpeper Town Councilman Bobby Ryan said he supported the project but he too was concerned about the cost.

“I’m very enthused about this project, the only concern I have is that it will cost taxpayers,” Ryan said.

Councilman Keith Price, also a member of the SAR, said the reason the project started two years ago, was tabled and was brought back to committee late last year was because the SAR had to come up with more elements - which spawned the Charters of Freedom monuments.

After discussion, Town Council voted 9-0 to approve the monument.

Price estimated the project would be finished in the summer or fall.

The Virginia Mist Group Inc. has volunteered to donate granite for the Minute Men monument at a cost avoidance of $5,000. The Charters of Freedom Foundation will provide materials and construction support to construct the Charters of Freedom monuments.

Tarot workshops looks to help self development ➤ Cara Cutro offers tarot workshops beginning this Saturday above Raven's Nest

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer It’s a new year, and some may be looking for a new focus. For Cara Cutro, looking inside at yourself is a worthwhile endeavor she hopes other will embrace - through tarot.

Cutro, the owner of Abracadabra Massage & Wellness and Wisdomkeepers Tarot School in Sperryville, will be offering courses above Raven’s Nest Coffee House to help people learn how to use tarot cards to find deeper meaning to their feelings.

Cutro has been teaching classes in Front Royal for two and a half years and says she has had students travel all the way from Culpeper to learn - so she decided to offer classes on the second Saturday of every month in Culpeper.

Thanks to social media, she says she has seen more people show an interest in the ancient art.

“Strangely enough, yes,” Cutro said if more people are becoming interested. “I’ve been studying tarot since I was about 13. It’s always been something I was interested in.

In the last 5-10 years there seems to be this real resurgence of people with interest in this kind of stuff.

Not so much for predicting the future, but for personal development reasons.”

Cutro stresses that tarot isn’t for entertainment purposes but to serve as a way to help better yourself. She says most use the cards to gain insight in the moment to help find what the best course of action might be. It’s not a predictive art, per se, but one that is more reflective - using past experiences to help guide their direction.

“I think everybody has times in

➤ Rotator, from Page 2 shoulder pain gradually increases until they decide it’s time to have it evaluated,” says Dr. Robinson.

“Fortunately, many of these are partial tears that do not require surgery, but can be managed and treated in other ways.”

Treatment for chronic rotator cuff tears can include physical therapy, cortisone injections to relieve pain and inflammation, and/or small lifestyle changes that put less impact on the

their lives that they want that,” Cutro said. “People want to be discovering themselves more. They want to understand their own psychology and tarot has been a really useful tool for me.”

Popular culture has at times painted tarot as a “scary” experience, using cards like the death card to depict a traumatizing moment that will happen. Cutro says those cards exist but are not interpreted literally.

“They don’t really refer to an actual death or something scary coming,” Cutro said. “The reality is that life has its ups and downs. It’s not all roses and easy. There are some cards in the deck that are challenging, but they are reflective. It’s not telling you something bad is going to happen, it’s telling you the reason you’re seeking the reflection is because you’re going through something that is challenging.”

A tarot deck consists of 78 cards and Cutro’s workshops teach how to interpret the cards and then use that interpretation to better your life. The workshops start this Saturday from 1 to 4 p.m. with a Year Ahead workshop focusing on what direction to take entering 2019.

“We’re going to use the tarot to guide us through what we can focus on in the next year,” Cutro said.

In February she will offer Tarot as a Manifestation Tool workshop and then in March begin the Wisdomkeeper Core Immersion - an eight-month class.

“It goes through the entire deck,” Cutro said. “It goes through how to create sacred space so it’s something that is done in a spiritual way - to seek higher guidance. The way I teach people is to tap into their own inner guidance system,. That’s the real core focus of what I’m trying to do, is to trust their own intuition and listen to themselves. We can use tarot for that.”

The workshops are limited to 10 people and cost $95 per class. The core immersion class is limited to

shoulder joint.

The only way to fully heal a torn rotator cuff is through surgery, Dr. Robinson advises, but it is often possible to forgo surgery and instead manage pain. Plenty of people live with normal shoulder function even with partial tears.

When To See Your Doctor “Popping or crackling noises in your shoulder or other joints aren’t necessarily an indication that there is a tear,” says Dr. Robinson. “Bursitis

15 people and costs $580.

“I keep the classes small because it makes it more intimate, which is better for learning,” Cutro said.

“The thing that’s nice about the classes I teach is that we have an online group. Everyone is support-

ing each other. If you get a card you don’t understand, there’s always a group of us to help.”

or inflammation can also cause noises and discomfort. It’s always a good idea to pay a visit to your doctor if you’re concerned.”

If the discomfort is caused by a tear, your physician will work with you to determine the best treatment plan to get you back to full functionality. Every person that has a rotator cuff problem will need individualized treatment based on their expectations, the size of the tear, individual limitations and pain levels.

“There is no one-size-fits-all

treatment,” says Dr. Robinson.

FILM • “Beauty and the Beast” (DisCina, 1946) Jean Cocteau’s sublime adaptation of Mme. Leprince de Beaumont’s fairy-tale masterpiece - in which the pure love of a beautiful girl melts the heart of a feral but gentle beast - is a landmark of motion picture fantasy, with unforgettably romantic performances by Jean Marais and Josette Day. The spectacular visions of enchantment, desire, and death in “Beauty and the Beast” (“La Belle et la Bête”) have become timeless icons of cinematic wonder. Critic Roger Ebert wrote in his four star review, “Before the days of computer effects and modern creature makeup, here is a fantasy alive with trick shots and astonishing effects, giving us a Beast who is lonely like a man and misunderstood like an animal.

Cocteau, a poet and surrealist, was not making a ‘children's film’ but was adapting a classic French tale that he felt had a special message after the suffering of World War II: Anyone who has an unhappy childhood may grow up to be a Beast.” In French with English subtitles.

VIEWS Consider the unconventional approach On my way to work Tuesday I chomped on a bag of trail mix, slurped Marshall Conner a Wawa Cuban coffee and peeled a banana all with one hand. This is a skill I have honed over the decades through thousands of commuter miles.

As I juggled a few peanuts, I pondered those who have found success outside the parameters of conventional thought or trends.

On my radio sportscasters were all abuzz about a freshman who toppled Alabama 44-16 in college football’s National Championship game.

Clemson quarterback Trevor Lawrence, a guy who looks like an odd combination of Kylo Ren and a dude you might find at a surf shop, passed for 347 yards and three touchdowns against a talented Alabama defense.

Fellow freshman Justyn Ross was less strange visually, but equally impressive athletically. He made big plays against Notre Dame and Alabama’s secondary with speed and savvy. Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney, also an unconventional guy, contrasts well with Alabama’s head coach Nick Saban’s more regimented coaching style.

The unconventional approach carries risk—but it tends to topple the less flexible norms in many fields including warfare, music, writing and politics. As the late Robert Frost wrote, “Two roads diverged in a wood, and I, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.”

There has always been plenty of truth in those words---at least for the ones that took the right road.

On the battlefield, history’s most successful military leaders won with unconventional tactics. For example,

Alexander the Great, Henry V, Shaka (King of the Zulus), General “Stonewall” Jackson, General George S. Patton and General Norman Schwarzkopf all used unconventional approaches to defeat enemies who were far too conventional.

The lesson is to never stop innovating, it can be fatal in war. Just ask the ghosts of French knights shot full of arrows laying on the field of Agincourt or the unbeatable British Army at Yorktown.

Every empire must evolve and adapt--because there is always an innovator waiting.

In the Oscar-winning film Patton, the famous general spoke about returning Roman Legions on parade. He said, a slave would stand behind the victorious general and whisper a warning into his ear during the parade.

“All glory is fleeting.”

In music the unconventional approach often leads the way, but not easily.

Where would music be without American jazz, rock-n-roll, Jamaican reggae, American hip-hop or Appalachian country music? These forms of music were all condemned or maligned by social critics of the time.

The majority opinions about Andy Warhol or the Beatles were largely negative, yet four lads from Liverpool and an oddball artist from Pittsburgh changed music and art respectively.

One could argue that Warhol’s style has morphed into the art that defines the computer age with its use of patterns, colorful ads and repetition.

Who can argue the universal appeal of Bob Marley’s music? It can be heard in nearly every corner of the globe.

Yet, his music was largely ignored by African-Americans in the 1970s—an audience Marley wanted greatly to win over. The march of time brings greater appreciation to innovators in music, often years after they’ve left us.

Among my favorites in the world

of writers are an unconventional crew of characters. They are predominantly unconventional minds with unconventional yet successful styles.

They all seem to be in a constant state of rebellion against some static rule of society.

I can sympathize with Jim Harrison’s dislike for calendars and the domestication of spirit. I hate Excel, so I can see his point. I always enjoy Hunter S. Thompson, as he storms into a scene like Allstate’s Mr. Mayhem and leaves us all thinking how liberating it would feel to confront the world with a slightly unhinged yet colorful approach.

I think of Edward Abbey’s will to “stand up for what you stand on” and never apologize for it. He wrote of nature’s beauty, its cruelty and the greed of man with equal gusto.

In Ernest Hemingway, I found a writer constantly defining and redefining the many faces of bravery. His old fisherman hooked me in the heart just like the marlin he was battling.

As for politics, my least favorite obsession, I will leave you with the unconventional appeal of our last two Presidents Barack Obama and Donald Trump. Love or hate them, both emerged from outside the mainstream and earned their offices with lofty ambitions to change a cancerous political landscape.

The problem is cancer (political or medical) is relentless and it attacks the whole body. Both presidents were quickly confronted with polarized political parties, an increasingly daunting debt and adversaries around the world who evolve with the wind.

This week, as our leaders’ bicker and hold paychecks for ransom we continue our lives.

Always remember that time, tides, mosquitos, enemies, new ideas and economies never quit moving.

Let’s consider the unconventional approach.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

and a wide range of Christmas-themed activities to enjoy, from Gingerbread House and Candy-Cane Reindeer making, to taking photos with Santa and opening a special gift before going home.

Held Dec. 21 for local foster children at the Culpeper Human Services Board room, the event was sponsored by several local businesses that we wish to thank publicly, because without you, the party would not have been possible.

We want to sincerely thank the following sponsors Buffalo Wild Wings, Chick-fil-A, Culpeper Town Police Department, Dick’s Sporting Goods,

JoAnn Fabrics and Crafts, Knakal’s Bakery, Lollipop Station, Lowe’s, Martin’s, Neibauer Dental Care, Papa John’s Pizza, Pepperberries, Target, Walmart, and Weis.

These wonderful businesses and organizations made the night one that will be long remembered by the children in attendance and their foster families.

Many thanks to our volunteers and to everyone who contributed to the success of our 2018 party.

THE MARSHALL PLAN

Culpeper Human Services provides foster children with a joyous Christmas party This year’s 2018 Foster Children Christmas Party was a night of fun and celebration for 22 foster children, giving a break for the families who care for them.

Volunteers staffed the party, allowing foster families the opportunity have a few hours to catch up on their own holiday preparation. Children attending the party were provided with dinner

The Culpeper Chamber of Commerce announced Friday that longtime staff member Martha Sanford is leaving to join the staff at The Culpeper.

Sanford was an employee at the Culpeper Chamber of Commerce for more than 16 years and was a fixture at ribbon cuttings, social gatherings and community meetings.

“Martha has been a great asset to our organization and wish her Martha the very best in her new opportuni- Sanford ty. We look forward to working with her in her new role,” Culpeper Chamber of Commerce CEO/President Wes Mayles said.

Sanford will serve as a Sales Counselor at The Culpeper.

Culpeper Commonwealth's Attorney Paul Walther announces bid for re-election Staff report Culpeper County Commonwealth's Attorney Paul Walther announced last week that he will run for re-election in November.

"I am excited to announce that I am running for re-election as the Culpeper Commonwealth's Attorney," Walther said in a statement.

"In the past three years, my team and I have made many changes within the office. We immediately went to work on building a good working relationship across the Paul criminal justice system and within Walther the community. We also began implementing structural change to the way we han-

dle prosecutions and increased training both in my office and for law enforcement. At the same time, there have been many changes within the court system that have directly affected my office, such as the implementation of a pre-trial services program and an increase in the number of court days."

Walther defeated incumbent Megan Frederick in Nov. 2015. Frederick took office in 2012 after former Culpeper County Commonwealth's Attorney Gary Close stepped down.

"While I am pleased with the overall improvements I have implemented, there remain important things to do," Walther said. "For example, in my next term I plan to explore other ways to further reduce costs and unnecessary incarcerations using pre-trial services and other methods."

amazing one and most of you know it has been a job that I have loved,” Sanford said. “In my 16plus years I've had the opportunity to work with countless individuals that have made a positive impact in my business career and my personal life as well. Thank you all! I'm excited for the journey ahead and the challenges this new job offers and will continue to be engaged in and support the Culpeper Chamber and my community."
