H E A LT H Collarbone fractures are some of the most common The clavicle (KLAV-ic-kull), or collarbone, is the most-fractured bone in the body.

The clavicle is an S-shaped bone, its medial end (that portion toward the center of the body) joining the upper sternum, or chest bone to form the sternoclavicular (sterno-kla-VICK-ular) joint. Its other end, the lateral end (the portion that is away from the center of the body), joins the acromion, a portion of the scapula, shoulder blade, to form the acromoclavicular joint.

The most common collarbone fracture results from a blow to the tip of the shoulder such as sustained with a fall when someone lands on the shoulder, exerting direct force on the bone’s outside end. This force may

THEM BONES AND JOINTS

Dr. Tom Neviaser

fracture the collarbone at its outer end, in the middle or midshaft area, or both. A midshaft fracture often breaks upward, forward, or both with an obvious deformity. The fracture may be transverse (straight across), oblique (at an angle), or comminuted (COM-innoo-ted, meaning “multiple pieces”).

At the moment the collarbone breaks, one will often hear a crack or pop and feel sudden pain, but even more disconcerting is the awareness that the broken pieces are rubbing together.

This sensation, which can persist for weeks after the fracture, is quite normal and no cause for worry. Having had two clavicle fractures myself, I’m personally familiar with this grinding sensation. With a comminuted fracture, a piece of bone may poke up under the skin, compromising its integrity though this is rare. The problem should be dealt with surgically by making a small incision to remove all or a portion of the offending boney piece

and then closing the incision to let the fracture heal on its own.

Most collarbone fractures can be treated conservatively by having the patient wear a sling or, if the fracture is displaced, a figure-eight bandage holding the shoulders back for several weeks. This treatment does not set the fracture but stretches the lining around the bone in an attempt to decrease the motion at the fracture site like a Chinese finger trap. Most of these fractures will heal on their own, but some will need to be operated on.

If the surgeon believes an operation is needed, he should discuss the pros and cons with the patient. I’m not a big fan of operating on clavicle fractures, as a very high percentage of them will heal on their own, even those causing an obvious deformity.

Whatever malformation appears at the time of the fracture will usually persist after healing and may in fact even be slightly larger because of new bone formation at the fracture site.

Overall, orthopaedists don’t usually “set” or manipulate fractures to realign the collarbone but leave them to heal as is. Recently, however, more surgeons prefer treating fractures surgically, applying plates and screws to create a more stable construct for healing and a more acceptable alignment.

As with any operation for a fracture, infections and non-unions (failure of the fragments to unite) may occur.

It was always my policy to let the fracture heal and then deal with any problems later. Non-unions of clavicles occur without surgery as well, but the percentages are very low. In my practice, I found that half the resultant non-unions of collarbone fractures I treated were painless, and often these results were acceptable to the patient even though complete healing never occurred. Some folks with smaller frames, both men and women, may object to a deformity of the clavicle, and for that reason, primary surgery may be appropriate.

Hanger introduces Senate Joint Resolution Senators Emmett W. Hanger Jr. (R-Augusta) and Mamie E. Locke (D-Hampton) announced Senate Joint Resolution 274, which would end political gerrymandering by taking redistricting out of the hands of politicians and creating Virginia’s first Citizens Redistricting Commission.

The commission will be open to the public and ultimately chosen by a series of committees made up of leaders in both houses of the General Assembly and retired Virginia Circuit Court judges. In the end, the 10-member committee will the charged with redrawing the boundaries of all 140 General Assembly districts and Virginia’s 11 congressional districts after the 2020 Census.

Provisions in SJ274 require that the district lines should not favor any party or candidate, should not abridge minority voters’ choice and respect municipal boundaries as much as possible. It will also be required that all meetings, minutes and data from the committee will be open to the public.

Amending the Virginia Constitution to establish an independent redistricting commission is supported by 78% of Virginia voters across the political spectrum, according to a December 2018 poll by the Wason Center at Christopher Newport University.

“Virginia is always evolving, it’s people, it’s economics and its communities of interests and needs,” Senator Hanger said. “We need a system to ensure that we best meet these changes and take politics out of the process as much as possible.

This is not my seat, but the seat of the people whom I have been elected to represent. We have an opportunity to make the process more public and I am pleased to support that effort as

“This amendment truly reflects what Virginia voters overwhelmingly support, and puts citizens first, not partisan political interests,” said Senator Locke. “The Citizens Redistricting Commission would respect existing communities, including minority communities, and it would end gerrymandering in Virginia once and for all.”

LOCAL NEWS Rappahannock school officials scramble for solutions as more students experience trauma

By John McCaslin Rappahannock News staff These are numbers Dr. Shannon Grimsley, superintendent of Rappahannock County Public Schools, never wants to see rise.

Yet they have, to the extent that rural Rappahannock has caught up with the rest of Virginia.

“A recent School Climate Survey that we did is kind of scary,” Grimsley informs this newspaper. “It says 17 percent of our high school students seriously thought about suicide. We haven’t seen it that high, and we give the test every two years.”

In 2016, the number stood at 14 percent. In 2014, it was 12 percent.

The current 2018-19 school survey, developed by the Virginia Department of Education, also asks how many times over the past year a student actually attempted suicide.

“Six percent said one time,” reveals the Rappahannock superintendent. “Two or three times, 2 percent. Four or five times, 1 percent. That’s startling to me, especially as tiny as we are.”

While specific reasons provided by students for their distress are kept strictly confidential, Grimsley says those enrolled in Rappahannock High point mostly to “mood, sadness and depression issues,” which are often traced to the home and family environ➤ See Schools, Page 5

➤ Schools, from Page 4 ment.

“Some things we are seeing in the school are concerning as they connect to substance abuse,” she says. “Things that they had seen with substance abuse in their own homes — families, siblings, aunts, cousins. I think that’s where it’s coming from. You can’t always attribute it to substance abuse, but there’s issues going on in the home or outside of school that they carry into school, that they’re dealing with.”

Grimsley says “with those kids who are touched by it you’re seeing more trauma, more need for mental health counseling. We’re sending about two kids per week to get some counseling. And when you have high expectations for the learning you can’t get to the learning until you mitigate these issues they are having. So it’s pretty alarming. And the cases we are seeing are pretty sad.”

How sad does it get?

“Picture an 8-year-old who goes home and wants dinner off the bus and mom’s strung out — laid on the couch — and he cleans up her vomit and gets a Pop-Tart and goes to bed himself,” replies Grimsley. “Those are the kinds of things that are happening here.”

Whether it’s opioid addiction

Local News

— now at “epidemic” levels in America — or other “death grip” drugs, as Grimsley herself refers to them, the superintendent wants struggling family members to “get the help they need,” particularly for the children’s sake.

“I believe with every bit of my heart that substance abuse is a disorder that we need to treat as a disorder, not as a punishable crime. It’s not criminal,” she states.

“These people are dealing with a whole lot of baggage we have to get to the root of.

“So it is a growing concern and I don’t feel like it’s going away. My numbers in the school indicate it might be getting worse, and if we don’t do something the cycle’s going to get a lot worse and you’re going to see more of it.”

A student suffering from trauma, she explains, is “concerning to me because that almost always leads to substance abuse later [in life], or at least there’s a much higher risk.”

Impacted Rappahannock students are encouraged to approach those within the school system they most feel comfortable with to relay any personal struggles or concerns. And staff within the schools are constantly on the lookout for any children who might be experiencing trauma.

“All of our teachers are mental health first-aiders,” Grimsley observes. “We were the first school [system] in the state of Virginia to do that will all staff. We have been trained to notice red flags and ask certain questions and get to the root of the problems.”

Impacted students are typically assisted inhouse through the National Counseling Group, or NCG, which provides “therapeutic day treatment services in our schools. So they are present every day.”

At last week’s monthly school board meeting, meanwhile, there was some initial discussion surrounding a schoolwide policy for more trained staff to administer the emergency drug Narcan in event of an opioid overdose. The life that might be saved could be a “child, parent or visitor to our schools,” Grimsley notes..

Which isn’t to say school nurses in the elementary and high school don’t already have access to Narcan, as do School Resource Officers, “but we should have a policy to guide that,” she says. “It speaks to the bigger issue. It’s a sad commentary because there’s a lot more that I feel we need to do. And we’re going to do what we can at this [educational] level.

I’m going to take care of the babies here the best I can, because

Who’s at risk?

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, suicide among teens and young adults has nearly tripled since the 1940’s. Suicide is the third leading cause of death for young people over the age of 10 and results in approximately 4,600 lives lost each year.

More young people survive suicide attempts than actually die. Each year, approximately 157,000 youth are treated in emergency rooms across the U.S. for self-inflicted injuries. A recent survey of high school students in the U.S. found that 16 percent nationwide — 17 percent in Rappahannock with a statewide averaging also of 17 percent — reported seriously considering suicide, 13 percent reported creating a plan, and 8 percent reporting trying to take their own life in the 12 months preceding the survey.

Boys are more likely than girls to die from suicide. Of reported suicides, 81 percent of the deaths were males and 19 percent were females. Girls, however, are more likely to report attempting suicide than boys. as the mama bear I get real protective.”

Among other initiatives, the school system is also considering the launch of an anonymous telephone hotline, overseen by a third party in consultation with Rappahannock school officials, that would be available to students and parents alike to seek help or relay concerns.

A taste of the Mediterranean ➤ Albana's Taverna serves up authentic Greek cuisine

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Visiting Albana’s Taverna in Culpeper is like taking a trip to the Mediterranean.

The Greek restaurant opened Oct. 26 and has quickly become a favorite among locals due to its authentic cuisine.

Greeted by Albana Robles as she cooks in the kitchen, where she is the most comfortable, you’re made to feel like you’re eating at a friend’s house, as her husband Victor greets and seats you.

Originally from Albania, Albana moved to Greece when she was 15 and operated a restaurant there for nearly nine years. After she and Victor married and she moved to the U.S., she began thinking of opening her own business here. After working at a restaurant in Northern Virginia, she and Victor moved to Culpeper and then last year decided to make her dream a reality.

“The time we moved to Culpeper, the truth is I couldn’t find a job so I said to my husband, now i open my restaurant,” Albana said.

Albana’s menu is filled with items made from scratch. Each dish has her loving touch added to it - with all of her items made fresh every day. On a recent visit, she shaves beef to put a heaping bunch on a huge gyro - covered in lettuce, red onions and feta cheese.

She said the gyros and Souvlaki have become favorites of regulars - mostly due to the different flavors she adds.

“I put different spice in than everybody,” Albana said in her musical accent. “The spice here, makes the difference. My spice is different than in America.”

Her menu - filled with traditional favorites such as dolmades, Avgolemono, Spana-

kopita and Mousaka - comes from experience.

“What I think is right and good is what I put on my menu,” Albana said. “I put exactly on the menu what I had in Greece.”

She’s particular about how her food is prepared and said it’s been difficult finding reliable help in the kitchen. She’s looking to expand the staff but currently has one helper in the kitchen and some servers.

“I prep, I cook, I clean,” Albana said. “I take care of every single thing.”

Mother to Victoria, 4, and a son, 15, Albana adds that motherly feel to every dish she creates - routinely popping her head out of the kitchen to check that everything is OK. Albana’s Taverna is open Monday through Thursday 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. Call 540-445-5459 or visit www.albanas.com.

Bill seeks insurance coverage for more Virginians with Autism

By Kathleen Shaw and Madison Manske Capital News Service Legislation introduced by Del. Robert Thomas, R-Stafford, would expand autism insurance coverage to nearly 10,000 Virginians and lift the cap that excludes those over the age of 10.

Under current law, individuals with autism can get insurance only from ages 2 through 10. Autism is the only medical condition that has an age-based coverage limit, Thomas said. His bill, HB 2577, would eliminate the restriction.

“No other health impairment including asthma, diabetes or cancer has such age limits imposed on them,” Thomas said Tuesday at a press conference about the bill. “And we believe that coverage for all of these health conditions is based on medical necessity, and autism should be treated no differently.”

House Speaker Kirk Cox joined Thomas at the event and expressed his support for the bill.

“This announcement has been a long time coming in Virginia,” Cox said. He noted that according to estimates from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, “autism impacts 1 in 59 children in our country. This number is growing 15 percent a year.”

A 2013 report from the Autism Center of Excellence at Virginia Commonwealth University said that on average, children are diagnosed as having autism at 6 or 7 years old. As a result, those families have only about four years of access to affordable insurance.

After a child with autism turns 11, in-

dividuals can access affordable care only if they receive a “Developmentally Disabled Waiver” from the state. But there aren’t enough waivers to meet the demand, parents say.

The “Fighting Fletchers,” a Midlothian family with three autistic sons, joined advocates from the Virginia Autism Project at the press conference.

Kate Fletcher, the boys’ mother, said the Developmentally Disabled Waiver waitlist of nearly 13,000 has left her family feeling abandoned by the state.

“All three of my boys are on that waitlist.

Matthew’s been in the most urgent category for seven years now,” Fletcher said. “If we can’t access waiver supports, and we can’t access insurance past the age of 10, the state has effectively shut doors in our face the whole way.”

Individuals with autism who can get the insurance receive pharmaceutical, psychological and therapeutic care.

“Our children did not choose to be born with autism, and we feel that we should do everything we can to continue to learn about the causes of autism, but more importantly, to provide the treatment that we know is having a meaningful effect for these children regardless of their age,” Thomas said.

State officials estimate that it would cost about $237,000 a year to extend autism insurance coverage to nearly 10,000 more people. But advocates said the future benefits far outweigh the costs.

By having insurance and receiving treatment, a person with autism will require less in social services later on.

The insurance “will save the state $1-2 million per person covered over their lifetime,” Fletcher said.

HISTORY Sticks and Stones … but words can never … “…but words can never hurt me.” Words are extremely powerful: uplifting, inspirational, debilitating and dehumanizing.

However, words alone are toothless sounds if lacking volume, numbers, and known background and intent.

The decoded messages, intended or not, rest on both the recipient’s and the contributor’s interpretation and frame of reference. Is this gobbledygook? Not really and in a moment, we will dive into a series of examples that will illuminate the point. The subject of the illustrations will pivot around the words preference, prejudice and the most talked about ism: racism.

ZANN’S PLACE Zann Nelson

Readers’ feedback would be welcomed as long as respect and civility are maintained. What if your engagement- if only reading with an open mind- fostered a different perspective and better understanding? Would that not be a good thing?

Let’s get started.

On Sunday last I posted on a FaceBook page a Culpeper Star Exponent article published on Sunday, January 13 entitled ‘Continued silence is simply unacceptable.’ To fully grasp the value of the comments one should read the article. I wrote a prologue to accompany the story and in the belief in full disclosure, comments will be published in their entirety.

As of Tuesday night, the post had received more than 2,100 views and 845 engagements, a significant showing but not the whole story. My normal audience and their networks are typically receptive to this type of

content. However, a true assessment requires getting outside the inner circle. That is exactly what I did upon receiving a few comments that challenged the intent of the article. The commentary - as in an interview-will be noted as Zann, Reader 1 and Reader 2. I will attempt to define references and fact check statistics. Historical content will be added where applicable as well as speculation on theory not to conclude but rather to get the brain juices flowing.

Prologue…

Hot off the presses...new article published Sunday, Jan. 13 by the Culpeper Star Exponent. We want to keep this story out there, please share the article and conversations.

This work is exactly what is meant to be an American and an American that acknowledges the mistakes and aims to get better and better! There are thousands of descendants who have suppressed

their pain and fear based on the existence of such horrific realities in their lives and their communities.

Please know that there is a large and growing "support group" that has stepped up and they are waiting to walk with you!! We are together.

Let's do this! Contact your legislator and tell them to support this resolution. Thank you.

Responses…

Reader 1: ...what an absurd idea.

That somehow the "descendents of the cultural majority" have some culpability in the actions of psychotic individuals decades ago. Sorry, but assigning guilt to people who were not even born at the time just transcends any logic, and frankly, is endemic of a current atmosphere of self flagellated virtue signaling. No one is "covering up" anything, that would imply denying it happened.

"Our past mistakes"? Again, people who were not even born at the time ➤ See Zann, Page 9

Informational sessions for dam safety scheduled for February Virginia dam owners and local government officials who are interested in applying for grants from the state Dam Safety, Flood Prevention and Protection Assistance Fund may attend one of six informational sessions in February to learn about the funding process.

The Virginia Department of Conservation and Recreation will host the sessions in different areas of the state.

All sessions are scheduled from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. The first two hours will cover the grant program; the types of projects that may qualify for funding and how to apply.

The final two hours will consist of breakout sessions specific for dam owners or local floodplain managers. Lunch will be provided. Registration is required.

Where have all the birds gone?

My usual avian winter residents have been disappearing and reappearing.

Where they go and why has been a mystery.

I began comparing notes about missing birds with a few other bird watchers. One was concerned about the low numbers he was seeing at his feeders, in mixed habitat in Huntly.

Another, who had naturalized his mixed-habitat property near Washington and had 10 feeders out, reported numbers that he thought were normal.

Another bird watcher with open land in Slate Mills said that the numbers of individuals and species looked normal to her on a recent walk around her property, and most of the usual crowd showed up when she put out feed in preparation for the recent snowstorm.

During the second annual Christmas

WILD IDEAS Pam Owen

Visit Us at culpepertimes.com

Bird Count here in Rappahannock, on Dec. 15, overall numbers of birds reported did not vary much from the previous year, even though rain poured down for most of the day during this year’s count. Then again, the count parameters had a changed a bit from last year, with one large property added, and one group driving around to find birds.

Here in the forest on Oventop Mountain, in Old Hollow, I’ve either been seeing plenty of the usual birds that winter here, or I see (and hear) very few, even none. In walking around in the forest, the only birds I tend to see, if any, are winter wrens hunting along the streams and brown creepers up in the trees.

Last week, with the first snowstorm of the year heading our way, I bought a small bag of bird feed and a couple of suet cakes to put in feeders on my deck, mostly to see which birds would show up and in what numbers. Feeding birds is one way to find out which ones are around, but although the consequences of feeding wild birds is often debated, the issue is poorly researched. I usually

just put out feed when snow can make foraging difficult from some birds.

(AllAboutBirds.org recently had a Q&A with Australian scientist Darryl Jones, author of “The Birds at My Table: Why We Feed Wild Birds and Why It Matters,” on this issue.)

Throughout the weekend, as around 10 inches of snow fell, and up to the time I filed this column on Tuesday morning (Jan. 15), most of the usual winter species slowly and intermittently came to the feeders or were foraging around in the gardens or the forest edge.

These included a pair of cardinals that continually picked off the dwindling pokeberries in one garden near my bedroom.

At the feeders were American goldfinches and northern cardinals, a red-bellied woodpecker, a slate-colored junco, a tufted titmouse, a Carolina chickadee and a few white-throated sparrows. Except for one brief period, when nine goldfinches showed up, the numbers were lower than usual, especially for juncos, although I saw at ➤ See Birds, Page 11

Culpeper Times • January 17-23, 2019

➤ Birds, from Page 10 least four of the sparrows foraging in the forest edge at various times.

A winter wren and a Carolina wren also showed up for the first time this winter, both ignoring the seed but hunting for bugs — the former gleaning bugs from under the eaves and the latter hunting around the deck and porch. The last to arrive, after also being AWOL for weeks, were a white-breasted nuthatch and a downy woodpecker, although both eschewed the feeders and instead hunted for insects in the trees near the deck.

When the number of birds appeared to seemed to be peaking, I filed a report to eBird, which collects data from bird watchers and freely shares it “to power new data-driven approaches to science, conservation and education,” according to the project’s website (ebird.org). As well as occasionally contributing data, I use eBird’s database sometimes to check numbers of a particular species, but doing that for all the birds that have been AWOL frequently would take a long time, so I haven’t dived into that yet but may do so if I can find the time.

Overall, the numbers of some birds, including juncos, at the feeders and in my yard do seem lower this year, but I haven’t kept a record. Although the sudden disappearance of birds can be alarming, I am cheered every time some reappear. While their apparent comings and goings are mysterious, I doubt most bird species are in trouble here, although a few of the more vulnerable ones can be at risk this time of year. I do wonder where the birds have been going and why — and what prompts them to suddenly reappear?

Home & Garden

When temperatures turn bitterly cold, birds can seem to disappear because they stop activity and go into temporary winter torpor. In this state, their metabolism slows down, minimizing the need to hunt for food and potentially burning off too many calories in the process. I don’t think the temperature have been cold enough for birds to resort to this survival strategy, at least not often and all at the same time, but could the heavy rains this past year have affected their behavior?

While some birds travel hundreds or thousands of miles to the south in the fall, other species may migrate much shorter distances, moving down in elevation (as juncos do here) or to other locations close by where weather or food is better. With the varying microclimates in the county and the hollows apparently receiving more rain that other parts of the county this past year, maybe the birds here have been shifting to dryer locations during deluges or other unfavorable conditions, then coming back.

I’ll keep trying to solve this intriguing mystery. In the meantime, I plan to take advantage of some of the nature activities that are scheduled, despite the iffy weather (see sidebar online at rappnews.com/wildideas). If nothing else, it will give me a chance to talk to other nature observers about the case of the missing birds. © 2019 Pam Owen Pam Owen is a writer, editor, photographer, and passionate nature conservationist living in Rappahannock County, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia.

FILM • “Wanda”(Janus, 1970) The only feature film written and directed by Barbara Loden, “Wanda” is a stark road movie shot on 16mm film on a miniscule budget. The title character, as portrayed by Loden, is a drifter, a floater, a wanderer. “Wanda” is a groundbreaking film both in the presentation of a woman breaking away from her prescribed life, and in the introduction of a fiercely independent filmmaker. While the film won the Critics Prize in Venice in 1970, it only screened in one theater in New York during its US theatrical release. Digital presentation, 102 min.

With its eye-popping

photography and ravishing, epochal soundtrack, “Black Orpheus” was an international cultural event, and it kicked off the bossa nova craze that set hi-fis across America spinning. The romantic drama was made in Brazil by French director Marcel Camus and stars Marpessa Dawn and Breno Mello. It was an international co-production among production companies in Brazil, France and Italy. 35mm film print courtesy of Janus Films, 107 min.

FILM • “Singin’ in the Rain”(MGM, 1952) This rollicking musical satire of Hollywood in the 1920s when film transitioned from silent to sound features outstanding performances by Debbie Reynolds, Donald O’Connor, Jean Hagen and Gene Kelly, who co-directed the film with Stanley Donen. Now considered one of the greatest musicals ever filmed, it’s filled with memorable songs by Nacio Herb Brown and Arthur Freed, lavish routines and Kelly's fabulous song-anddance number performed in the rain.

Although Debbie Reynolds had made a few movies prior to her role as Kathy Selden, this is the film that made her a star and one of the films for which she is best remembered. The film was one of the first to be selected for the National Film Registry in its first year - 1989.

FILM • “Bright Road”(MGM, 1953)

A year before Dorothy Dandridge and Harry Belafonte made the Cinemascope color musical “Carmen Jones,” they starred together in this low-budget but sincere drama about a rural teacher in a southern school trying to reach a problem child. Directed by Gerald Mayer and adapted from a Christopher Award-winning story by West Indian schoolteacher Mary Elizabeth Vroman, “Bright Road” was an anomaly for an African American film of the period in that it was neither a musical nor a treatment of racial issues. Vroman helped write the screenplay and in so doing, becoming the first black member of the Screen Writers Guild.

With Curtiz's skilled direction, Woody Bredell's evocative cinematography, sharp dialogue, and a first-rate cast including Audrey Totter, Constance Bennett and Joan Caulfield, “The Unsuspected” has been singled out as an underrated example of the genre, loaded with quintessential noir scenes.

FILM • “Shakespeare in Love” (Miramax, 1998 – rated R*) This historical romantic comedy speculates about where the young William Shakespeare (Joseph Fiennes), who is short on cash and ideas, finds inspiration for one of his best-known works, “Romeo and Juliet.” Much credit is given to the playwright’s growing love for the fictional Viola (Gwyneth Paltrow), a woman of means striving to find her place in a world governed by men. Directed by John Madden and written by Marc Norman and Tom Stoppard, “Shakespeare in Love” was a hit with audiences and critics alike. Janet Maslin wrote in her New York Times review, “Galvanized by the near-total absence of biographical data, it soars freely into the realm of invention, wittily weaving Shakespearean language and emotion into an intoxicatingly glamorous romance.” Among its many accolades, the film won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actress (Gwyneth Paltrow), Best Supporting Actress (Judi Dench as Queen Elizabeth I), and Best Original Screenplay. * No one under the age of 17 will be admitted without a parent or guardian. 35mm archival film print. 123 min.

Cadence of Time – Benefits of Advance Medical Directives The man in black. I am not sure there is any singer who has Katherine Charapich ever been able to evoke the same emotions that one feels when listening to recordings of Johnny Cash singing live at Folsom State Prison. From the confident drawl of, “Hello, I’m Johnny Cash,” to the lyrics of, “A Boy Named Sue,” there is a cadence unmatched – an ability to capture the crowd, to weave a common thread between those on the outside and those looking out.

A complicated man, yet with a gift of a voice unduplicated and musical storytelling that ranged from worship to the outer limits of societal acceptance.

In fact, Wikipedia classifies the genre as “outlaw country.”

Entering the prison gates – more than once, perhaps not for us to understand. I do know that whether I was ten and first listened to, “One Piece at a Time” – a story of a dream car built from absconded parts, to now when I reflect on the words to, “The Man Comes Around,” I wonder how many lives in those vast audiences were changed by such a message.

Recently, as I attempted to get an early start on a New Year’s resolution to work out, I pulled up a video of Zach Williams walking into Harding Prison and then singing, “No Longer Slaves” to those within the prison walls. Though a different music genre, the scene brought back similar emotions of seeing Johnny Cash walk thru the steel bars.

“I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down, livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town . . .” Yes, Cash was simply a man; however, a man with a mighty talent and symbolic dress - a powerful message, which continues to affect many.

As an estate planning attorney, I am frequently afforded a glimpse into the private lives of clients seeking to prepare for the threshold of death. I treasure the sharing of the fears, struggles, and celebrations. Though most of my clients are older adults, as those under fifty seem not to understand how quickly the years may pass, or as hard as the reality may be - that they may not have many years in front of them.

There is a common thread that is expressed – a wondering at life . . . is it one well-lived? From the new adult who experiences the epiphany that one is put here for a purpose, to the senior who realizes there may be precious days left to make a difference . . . A talent – you have it. A calling – lean in, listen attentively. A purpose – absolutely!

ESTATE STEWARDSHIP

The commodity is TIME. Spend it, trade it, squander it – you can’t retrieve it. However, you can pursue it, treasure it, maximize it, and put in place mechanisms to make it work exponentially.

How one honors the time given to her is different for each person. Here, I address how to plan for the time in which you may find yourself beholding to another for medical care.

In § 54.1-2983 of the Code of Virginia, the procedure for making an advance directive is set forth. “Any adult capable of making an informed decision may, at any time, make a written advance directive to address any or all forms of health care in the event the declarant is later determined to be incapable of making an informed decision.”

An advance medical directive is an estate planning document that is utilized in the event an individual is unable to make decisions for her medical care.

Thus, though one signs an advance medical directive during the signing ceremony in an attorney’s office, the document does not go into effect until specific preconditions are in place. For example, the document will be effective when your attending physician and a physician or licensed clinical psychologist unrelated to the case, certifies in writing that the individual does not have the cognitive ability to make medical decisions for her care.

An advance medical directive affords one the ability to set forth the parameters that are acceptable to her for medical care, and an agent and successor agents who have the legal authority to carry out the declarant’s health care wishes and make decisions for her medical care.

Think of an advance medical directive as addressing three medical-related components: (1) if one is ill or in an accident and unable to make a medical decision for her care, (2) if one has a mental health challenge, her agent can admit her to a mental health facility for up to ten days, and (3) end-of-life wishes and care. For example, whether she wants her life to be sustained through the aid of machines, hydration and nutrition, surgery, or heroic efforts.

“Life” comes at us quickly. There always seems to be a long “to-do” list, and one may truly believe that time is on her side, and there exists no immediate need for planning.

What if one doesn’t prioritize time and resources to put in place an advance medical directive and she becomes ill and does not have the cognitive ability to make medical decisions for her care? § 54.1-2986 of the Code of Virginia sets forth a procedure in the absence of an advance medical directive as well as a procedure when there is an advance medical directive, which fails to name an

agent.

If one does not memorialize her wishes for medical care, “the attending physician may . . . provide, continue, withhold or withdraw health care upon the authorization” (§ 54.1-2986 of the Code of Virginia) of those individuals given authority as set forth in the Code of Virginia.

If a person does not name an agent as one who has the authority to make medical decisions for her care, the following is the descending order of those who will be given authority: a guardian for the patient, patient’s spouse, an adult child, a parent, an adult brother or sister, any other relative of the patient in the descending order of blood relationship, “or any adult [with a few exceptions] who has exhibited special care and concern for the patient, and is familiar with the patient’s religious beliefs and values . . .” (§ 54.1-2986 of the Code of Virginia) Why leave your medical care to the chance that others “may” or “will hopefully” know or follow your wishes?

Why leave the decision making of your care to the exposure that the person being permitted to make such a personal election may not even be someone that you like or trust?

Recently, three different expressions were shared with me that moved me, impacted my heart, and inspired me to be purposeful, make good choices, and utilize my time wisely.

The first, was a younger client who truly grasps that we are on this earth for a reason, and searching for that is paramount. The second, was a client who just lost a parent. As the parent was nearing the end, the parent asked for assurance of one thing, “Will I get to see Jesus?” When receiving an affirmation, the response was, “Well, let’s get on with it then.” The third, was a spouse sharing the heart-wrenching plea of her husband as he uttered his last breaths, “Isn’t there anything, anything at all, you can do to get me some more time?”

The necessity may be putting in place an advance medical directive so that one can control the elements of comfort, but the object of focus is that of TIME. Realize how precious it is. Guard it. Protect it. The time given to one is uniquely hers – what an incredible gift. Be purposeful with it – use estate planning documents, like advance medical directives, to control what and where you can. With the rest, make it beautiful – an exponential gift to others, whether that means caring for a senior adult, teaching another a trade, helping those less fortunate, or like Johnny Cash, using your talents to inspire beyond earthly limits.

Jackson Hewitt Tax Service® continues to lead the industry Refund Advance by offering qualified taxpayers the ability to choose the Refund Advance that’s right for them. The tax services provider has announced that qualified clients in Culpeper could now choose among several Refund Advance options provided by MetaBank®.

Early Refund Advance is available to new and existing clients who could access up to $400 before W-2s are even available. Clients can stop by a Jackson Hewitt office with a pay stub, or other income verification, as early as December 19, 2018 to complete tax preparation and apply for the Early Refund Advance.

Once W-2s are available in January, qualified clients will have the choice between two Refund Advance options: the No Fee Refund Advance and the Go Big Refund Advance.

The No Fee Refund Advance offers clients up to $3,500 with no fee and 0% APR. The Go Big Refund Advance is a new product with larger loan amounts offered between $1,000 and $7,000, has a fixed APR of 35.9% for the life of the loan, and has interest accrual capped at 45 days. Clients who qualify for a Go Big Refund Advance will automatically be qualified for a No Fee Refund Advance and will always have the choice between both options.

Starting December 3, clients can visit JacksonHewitt.com to see if they could prequalify for a Refund Advance. All Refund Advance loan options will be automatically repaid from a client’s tax refund.

“We’ve been helping the hardworking people of Culpeper for 18 years, and we’ve been listening,” said Linda A. Manson, Franchisee Owner/ Manager at Jackson Hewitt. “Our clients wanted access to larger loan amounts and more options, so we worked with MetaBank® to create the Go Big Refund Advance to give our clients more ways to get access to money they need faster.”
