John Driggers calls Multiple Sclerosis “the Grinch that stole Christmas.”

For 18 years Driggers has battled MS and has become the face of the disease in Culpeper County.

Usually, that face has a smug grin and a quick quip to go along with it.

His sense of humor and his dignity are some of the traits that he says MS will never be able to take from him.

“You have all these gifts that God has given you, that are under the tree and slowly but surely the Grinch keeps pulling them away,” John said. “It’s taken away everything. From my music, from my athletic abilities and the last thing I have left is my dignity. It’s not pulling that away from me.”

There are times, when he worries his dignity will be stripped from him as well. He recalled a moment just two weeks ago when his worst case scenario happened.

He was at home, alone, at 10 in the morning when he fell trying to get into the shower. Naked, with no way to communicate he had to crawl to the house phone to call 911.

“At least they put a towel on me,” he said with that wry sense of humor when the emergency personal showed up.

Those types of stories are common among people who suffer from MS, but it’s still not as prevalent a disease as cancer. John’s wife Janet, whose team Carefree Cruisers raises funds the annual MS Walk, said that she finds people only get involved with MS when they are directly affected by it.

“I just met one of my potential corporate sponsors and he was just diagnosed with MS,” Janet Driggers said. “The thing of it is, when you know about it or when you have MS, that’s when you want to get involved. Everybody knows somebody with cancer, but MS is still a silent disease.”

This year’s MS Walk will be held at Yowell Meadow Park April 7, with registration beginning at 9 a.m. and the walk starting at 10 a.m.

How it affects the family John will be there, but it is get-

ting harder and harder to make his scheduled appointments. His ability to be prompt is one of the gifts the Grinch has stolen.

“I can tell you up front, I’m not reliable,” John said. “Everytime physical therapy takes place, I can’t go.”

Sleep is fleeting. He wakes up three or four times a night and he usually wakes up in the morning with a “quarter tank of gas.” It’s not until he takes a nap in the morning does he even feel like he’s at half energy for the day. He sleeps on the couch because that way he can swing his feet down to get into his motorized chair and not bother Janet during the night. Still, she says she’s often up as she hears him or he needs assistance.

His independence has been taken from him. He can’t button a shirt, pick up a sandwich or cut his own steak anymore.

“There’s a tremendous amount of anger on the inside, but the one thing MS can’t take away from me is my dignity,” John said.

From the neck up, Janet said, he’s still John. He’s still sharp, he’s still witty and he’s still feisty. It’s his physical being that has suffered.

For his son Joshua, probably better known as local musician Aubrey Driggers, it’s been increasingly hard to watch his dad’s skills fade away.

“As a kid, you see your dad as immortal,” Joshua said. “You think he’s Superman. You kind of realize that’s not happening anymore and life is cruel. You see your dad’s mortality and you kind of realize that you’re going to be there one time or another.”

One of John’s passions was playing music. Now, he can’t pick up a guitar and play with his son, who he says he now lives vicariously through as Joshua plays gigs throughout the area.

“The way that they’ve raised me is that if it hurts, dig into it, make it hurt back” Joshua said. “I keep a guitar over at the house, but I know that he can’t play. I never got the opportunity to play with him as much as I would have liked to.

Now that I’m decent for a musician it would be great to have him come to gigs and play with me.”

A few years ago, Joshua wrote a song called “The Chorus” about his relationship with his dad. ➤ See MS, Page 4

COMMUNITY NEWS

Lions of Virginia host meeting in Culpeper On the weekend of Feb. 3, the dining area of Culpeper’s Peppers Grill colocated with the Best Western Motel on Madison Road will be invaded by the members of the Lions of Virginia, Districts 24-A and 24-C celebrating their Winter Conference. District 24-A, under the leadership of District Governor Sally B. Kenavan and District 24-C, under the leadership of District Governor John Knepper, will be discussing past accomplishments, current initiatives and future plans for the organization.

Future plans discussions will be dominated by the pending consolidation of District 24-A and 24-C. This consolidation is being made as the result of a reduction in membership by Lions Clubs throughout the state and nation.

Culpeper is the home for two Lions Clubs, Club 92 and the Mid-Day Club. These two clubs, like all Lions clubs throughout the world, have a primary mission of Sight and Hearing testing and financial assistance in the procurement of Eyeglasses and Hearing Aids.

This year the Culpeper Clubs will test in excess of 3,000 citizens including the children in 10 public and two private schools. They will assist in the procurement of at least 200 pairs of eyeglasses and 10 hearing aids. All of the Lions clubs represented at the Winter Conference are accomplishing similar contributions to their particular communities.

While Sight and Hearing issues dominate the mission of Lions worldwide our contributions to the improvement of the quality of life is not limited by this work.

CCPS teachers involved in grant collaboration

Brianna Reaves (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.

Why I joined Youth Council: This past year, I was selected to be apart of the Youth Advisory Council for Culpeper Youth after undergoing an interview, and I am so glad that I followed through. The non-profit organization is an amazing start to youth inclusion in the community and I, along with my peers, wanted to make the experience worth while for anyone that joined. In making this mental annotation, I found myself strengthening my people skills, learning how to properly plan and schedule events, understanding the necessity of advocating and networking, and realized how important it is to be apart of an organization that truly means something to you beyond the title. Culpeper Youth has indisputably allowed me to find my heart in the community by volunteering, supporting small businesses and becoming the change that I want to see in my town and in the world. Seeing as I’d like to attend Virginia Commonwealth University in the fall and double major in Social Work and Criminal Justice, Culpeper Youth has provided me a great deal of skills to implement in a new environment, lifestyle, and community.

For the past three years, CCPS Biology and US History teachers have been participating in a USDOE grant in collaboration with the University of Kansas Center for Research on Learning, the Stanford Research Institute (SRI), and CAST, a non-profit education research and development organization that works to expand learning opportunities for all individuals through Universal Design for Learning.

The goal of the study is to increase achievement and higher order reasoning skills of secondary students, including struggling learners, in Biology and U.S. History classes. CCPS Biology and US History teachers are working with the researchers to develop a computer application or “app” called CORGI that enhances the delivery of instruction, using Strategic Intervention Model (SIM) content enhancement routines. During the test pilot last spring, improvement was noted in the classes where the units were being implemented. The final study takes place this spring.

➤ MS, from Page 4 “I don’t play that out often because it’s emotional,” Joshua said.

His sister Jennifer and her two daughters live with his parents to help out, but it takes a village when it comes to raising children and for helping those with MS. “We’ve got a great neighborhood,” Janet said. “A lot of them have said, ‘we’re home in the morning, call me, I’ll come and get him.’

When I’m not there during the day, I have called them and they can help.”

Though John laughs when he says he’s put some of them off with his morbid sense of humor.

“It irritates her,” John said, motioning to Janet.

‘I lived a full life’ He fears nothing, he said, even death, as he jokes that he wants to make sure his body is cremated three times so no one gets it again.

He’s lived a full life - crossing accomplishments off his list - and don’t call it a bucket list.

“I hate the term, but I’ve done almost everything I want,” John said. “I’ve ridden in rodeos. I’ve skydived in Orange. I’ve flown in stunt planes. I’m not afraid of it.”

One last trip he’d like to take is to visit Lambeau Field in Green Bay, WI. A long time Packers fan - back in the days of Max McGee, Paul Hornung, Bart Starr and Jer-

Duncan praised for ‘calm, steady’ presence at RRCS ➤ Longtime executive director steps down after 25 years

By Jeff Say

CULPEPER TIMES STAFF WRITER

For 25 years, Brian Duncan has been a calm and steady force as executive director at Rappahannock Rapidan Community Services.

On Jan. 25, his co-workers and friends talked about that calmness and his overall presence during a dinner honoring him as he prepares for retirement.

Duncan’s last day is Feb. 1.

Deanne S. Cockerill, Administrative Services Support Supervisor for RRCS said that Duncan’s retirement is bittersweet, as he will truly be missed for

his calm, consistent, kind compassion throughout the agency.

“He has done a tremendous amount, not just for this community, but for all five communities we’re engaged in,” Cockerill said. “We’re happy for him, but we are really going to meet his leadership in the agency.”

She recalled his dry humor, where he would be stoic one minute and then be able to lighten the mood with a quip that had the room chuckling.

“He really is one of a kind,” Cockerill said. “It’s not just the construction of the facilities, which are very visible, but the programs he’s built.”

Duncan, who came to Culpeper 25 years ago after serving nine years at Crossroads Community Services in Farmville, said that the time was right

➤ Duncan, from Page 6 to step away.

“It is a good time, the organization is stable, it’s a good senior staff,” Duncan said. “The board has an active search going on. If there is a time to step away, this is a good one. These are good circumstances.”

Having a steady hand and a calm demeanor was essential when dealing with emotional issues like substance abuse, mental health and aging services. Duncan always handled those with the same reverence.

“I think that for us, those issues are always present,” Duncan said. “Even though this current opioid crisis is getting a significant amount of press, for us it’s not new. We’ve recognized the issue of addiction for decades and that helps us remain steady through these things.”

Duncan stressed that the successes of the organization weren’t just his, but that of the entire group. He praised the leadership of senior management and of the work of the staff members who have put in countless hours of improving the five county community that RRCS serves.

That being said, what’s the one item that will define his stay as executive director?

“I don’t know if there’s one single item,” Duncan said. “There really are a lot of collective achievements at the agency. Certainly building Boxwood was a great achievement for the board. We just finished a rehab center up in Brandy Station. People tend to think of these brick and mortar projects as big legacy things. I would say it’s really more about the programs that the people offer and the services provided by our staff.”

He said he will miss the staff and their dedication.

“They’re the doers in this whole operation here,” Duncan said. “You miss part of that camaraderie, that common mission. It’s a great organization doing truly great work, I’m privileged to be associated with that.”

Ray Parks, Director, Aging and Transportation Services at RRCS, has worked with Duncan for more than 30 years. He’s been at RRCS with him for 23 years and prior to that worked with him for nine years in Farmville.

“He’s been my mentor,” Parks said.

“He’s taught me a lot about leadership and how to supervise people. He’s been a real good role model and a calm, steady presence.”

That calm, steady presence has allowed his staffers to do their job without fear of inconsitencies from the top.

“I think it helps people to be more creative in their work and trust the leadership,” Parks said. “He’s dependable, he’s always there for guidance. We’ll miss him for sure.”

Parks said Duncan was instrumental in helping getting funding for the renovations at the Culpeper Senior Center.

“It was Brian, when we proposed the idea, that really sat everyone down and said to break this down into steps about how we need to go about it,” Parks said.

“He provided tremendous relationship.

He gave Gladys (Williams, Culpeper Senior Center coordinator) the freedom to go out and be the face of the agency.”

“He’s been my mentor.

He’s taught me a lot about leadership and how to supervise people. He’s been a real good role model and a calm, steady presence.”

Ray Parks Director, Aging and Transportation Services at RRCS Alan Rasmussen, prevention specialist at RRCS, has worked with Duncan for 15 years.

“When I’ve needed something on the job, some help getting something done he’s been very approachable and supportive,” Rasmussen said. “You can go in and talk to him about issues, he listens and tries to make things happen.”

Kim Beach, a former member of the RRCS board from Madison, remembers how Duncan helped make things happen when Madison lost its mental health services.

It was a trying time following the tragedy at Virginia Tech, but Duncan handled the situation calmly and with tact.

“He was very receptive,” Beach said.

“Brian really had to cope with it because he was stuck between inadequate state funding and the desire of Madison, which did not have a mental health center. “It’s a very demanding job and he’s very knowledgeable. He’s very sharp, he knows about this stuff and he was really a leader of the board. Without him I think I would have been at a loss. He was a consummate professional. He had very calm, steady leadership.”

Robert Legge, current president of the RRCS board, recalled the concern when Duncan first started talking about retirement in Oct. 2016.

“Who could imagine RRCS without Brian Duncan?” Legge said.

As the board searches for a replacement, Legge said they will be under the capable hands of Anna McFalls, who also served as interim director 25 years ago prior to Duncan’s naming as executive director.

Legge recalled a sermon he heard one Christmas morning at St. Stephen’s church in Culpeper, about how even a small calendar in a dark house could help see your the darkness, and even after that candle went out you could still remember where things were to see your way.

“It reminded me even after Brian leaves, just like that extinguished candle, part of him will be with us for years and decades to come,” Legge said. “The buildings he built, the workforce he hired, the policies he created - that will be his legacy. His influence will be felt for years to come in the lives of some of the most vulnerable people in our community.”

Duncan won’t be leaving the area, he’ll still live in Culpeper with his wife Linda. His two daughters and his one granddaughter live here as well and the area is home.

“I’m going to work detox for a while,” Duncan said. “I want to step back and just evaluate what options are out there and want impact I can make.”

HOME & GARDEN

What’s a Modern Day Homesteader?

First and foremost, I am not a homesteader. I have gardened for years, raised chickens, and kept bees, but that doesn’t make me a homesteader.

My husband and I love the taste of July tomatoes right out of the garden, and there really is nothing like a farm fresh egg. He is an avid hunter and we enjoy the taste of venison throughout the year. We freeze the meat from his excursions and can the vegetables from our garden. But that still doesn’t make us “homesteaders.” Why, heck, we’ve even talked about getting a goat.

That said, I do have a keen interest in homesteaders; what they do and how they do it.

So what does it mean to be a homesteader? The term 'homesteading' may be familiar, but its usage can cause some confusion as its meaning has changed over the decades. For years, the word referred to a free government land program, and the skills necessary

THIS RURAL LIFE- HOW, WHAT AND WHY?

for pioneer living. Today the word homesteading is more apt to refer to “a lifestyle of greater self-sufficiency characterized by subsistence agriculture, home preservation of food stuffs, and may or may not also involve the smallscale production of textiles, clothing and craftwork for household use or sale.”

(Thanks, Wikipedia!) So what does that mean exactly? Why am I not in that category?

Recently, I’ve had the pleasure of meeting several amazing homestead families through my work at the local farmer’s cooperative, by attending the recent Homesteaders of America Conference, and by following their homesteading stories online. No two homesteaders are alike. All live off the land, some have just a few acres and others 10 or 20 or more. Most have some form of small livestock (chickens, ducks, rabbits) for meat or eggs, some have goats, sheep, pigs, and a cow or two, many (but not all) garden, grow fruits, or hunt for food. Some have chosen to live completely off-grid. Not meaning that they are going without the modern convenience of electricity, but choosing to produce their own by way of solar, wind, or water power. Many have turned to homesteading within the last 10

SAFE THAN SORRY

years or so for health reasons, personal convictions or to escape the corporate rat race of modern America.

In essence, these are small farms whose primary goal is not producing food for profit as with traditional farming, but working towards leading a simpler, selfsustaining lifestyle. Using less energy, eating wholesome local food, involving family in the life of the community, and making wiser choices that will improve the quality of life for family, community and the environment. These folks are not hobbyists, like my husband and me, they are all in. On-purpose living the lifestyle they have chosen for their families. As for me, I will continue to garden, raise chickens, keep bees, and feed my family delicious food. I will continue to learn from these amazing folks that I’ve met, and will continue to meet along the way.

I will continue to attend the conferences and follow their stories online. I encourage you to do the same!

Culpeper County High School will honor its boys and girls basketball state championship teams from the 1970s before Friday’s varsity basketball game.

For more than 40 years, the Blue Devils have consistently been a contender for district, regional and state titles and that lineage can be traced back to the foundation John Averett set forth.

Now, Averett and his 1973 state championship team - along with the girls state championship teams from 1976 and 1979, all-state players and 1,000 point scorers - will be honored at CCHS in between the varsity and junior varsity games against Manassas Park.

Pictures and statistics from the players will be broadcast throughout the school and a reception will be held in the library at 5 p.m. A ceremony will be hosted between the junior varsity and varsity games to recognize the 60 honorees.

According to Averett, team doctor Dr. George Broman will also be attending.

Gary Deal, Culpeper County Board of Supervisors West Fairfax representative, said that constituents originally came to him with

the idea. The girls, coached by Kate Carter, won titles in 1976 and 1979 and will also be honored that night along with their all-state players and 1,000 point scorers.

“Those days back then were special and there was a lot of enthusiasm back then,” Deal said, in the interest in honoring those squads.

Culpeper’s basketball legacy can be directly traced back to Averett, who coached former CCHS boys head coach and athletic director Billy Thornhill. After Averett left, his assistant Simon Poole coached for a few years before Thornhill returned to take the helm. Thornhill remained at CCHS through the mid-2000s when he handed over control of the basketball program to current head coach James Thompson.

Deal wanted to make sure both the girls and boys were honored as both were extremely popular and successful.

Carter, who finished her career with 526 wins, passed away in 2008.

Some of the key players from the years who have said they will attend include Keith “Mister” Jennings - who still leads CCHS and the Battlefield District in scoring and played in the NBA for the Golden State Warriors.

VIEWS

Philadelphia in Love and Hate

You almost can hear the jaunty jangle of the “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” Marshall Conner theme song playing. The music is followed by the caption “The Gang Goes to the Super Bowl.”

Call this an open love letter to a city I always loved to hate…at least when it comes to sports.

For decades I delighted in chumming up friends and family from Philly like bluefish to fresh bunker. I ladled out insults about Eagles earning ring pops rather than Super Bowl rings. I used to wonder if most Eagles fans even knew how to spell in their signature chant E-A-G-L-E-S! In the 1980s, the Eagles were like the NFL’s version of Wile E. Coyote – they would usually split divisional games.

Then they would crash and burn in the playoffs — in the much the same way as Washington teams now (sad to say).

Regardless of record the Eagles would always give teams a fight, a poke in the eye or a stray cleat to the back of the leg. It was part of their charm.

In the stands, most Philly fans resembled soccer supporters from Europe in the 1970s more than the sheep-like fans that inhabit the NFL in recent decades.

This season’s Eagles wore the same green — yet they were different.

Strangely, they weren’t a team that inspired hate. As a team they were resilient, tough and more importantly talented.

Philly fans in contrast remain a model of consistency. Appropriate behavior when translated to modern sports fandom often means minimal

THE MARSHALL PLAN

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Thank you from Culpeper Toy Chest (Editor's note: Please find the full letter online at Culpepertimes.com) Culpeper Toy Chest and CloreEnglish Funeral Home would like to acknowledge the following individuals and businesses that made the 2016 campaign a meaningful success; a total of 4,061 toys were collected in Culpeper and distributed in Culpeper County through Culpeper Community Christmas Basket, S.A.F.E. and C.C.D.C. Culpeper County, the PATH Foundation and Crossfit Culpeper made this year a huge success with a grant and fundraising and were able to stretch the dollar and shop locally.

For facilitating our group of shoppers:

passion. The NFL wants fans to consume food, buy stuff, clap a few times and get out in an orderly fashion—this is why the Philly sports fan always stands apart.

As a boy with family ties to Philadelphia and Washington I viewed the Philadelphia sports fans as entertaining and a bit edgy. They were the great northern villains. They spoke with funny accents and old Veteran’s Stadium was always packed with animated characters. The Vet had sunbleached artificial turf that could chew up knees like a bull shark. It even had a court and jail onsite for easy bookings for unruly fans.

As a teen in the 1980s I used to spend summers with my late grandparents. Both were life-long residents of Philadelphia, who later migrated to south New Jersey in retirement.

My beloved grandpop was a World War II vet, former baseball player in the Carolina League, salesman for MCA Records and a long-suffering Philadelphia sports fan.

My grandma was equal parts Rosie the Riveter and Mrs. Claus with a pack of smokes. She was the one who taught me how to stick my tongue out and blow raspberries as a baby. Later, she taught me the art of flipping the bird at other motorists in busy traffic circles.

This was a marvelous contrast to the lady who would cram as many presents as a car trunk could hold each Christmas.

In retrospect, I learned valuable lessons from my visits to “Filty-delphia,” as an old college professor used to call it.

Here are a few.

The Schuykill River was a stinky, polluted urban river — but it did have fish for me to catch as a kid.

Phillies games were a blast in the 1980s and they even won a

championship in 1980 — then the curse of Billy Penn haunted the city until 2008.

Mounted policemen in Philadelphia were affectionately called “Rizzo’s Cossacks.”

The Flyers were the “Broad Street Bullies.”

I could mow 12 lawns in midsummer compared to only two in Virginia — for more money.

It’s OK to yell “You’re a bum!” at future Hall of Famers.

Don’t cheer too loudly as an away fan if you like having tires on your car or a full set of teeth.

The Phillies Phanatic is and was a comedic genius.

It’s OK to boo the pass-punt and kick kids if they miss field goals or botch a pass…but only if they are wearing a Cowboys, Giants or Redskins helmet.

The late Chief Z had his feathers plucked there.

Sometimes it’s OK to throw snow balls at Santa.

One can speak about the Body Bag game, but not the Redskin playoff wins.

Lastly, I’m thankful to Philly for my education on traffic circles, the shore, hoagies, Wawa, cheese steaks, jetty fishing, the Jersey Pine Barrens, Barnegat Light, Cape May, Atlantic City, boardwalk cuisine, the charm of diners and the art of moderation at games.

As a Redskins fan I cannot cheer for an Eagles victory — but I’ve grown a bit more nostalgic and less militant in my support of teams. However, in some dark corner of my soul that smells like a sizzling cheese steak I hope that the unlovable rogues of Philly somehow find redemption.

An Eagles victory might make sense this year in a world where chaos, civility and culture appear to be hurtling us all into the abyss. The NFL deserves it.

Then again…it is Philadelphia.

CHURCH

A love that won’t let us go

The “official” day of love is on our doorstep.

Yes, February 14, Valentine’s Day, when love will be expressed in flowers, cards, chocolates, going out to eat, dancing, and the expression of other “heart felt” overtures specifically designed to show our deep devotion and care to those special persons in our lives.

While these signs of affection and romance are so very important and sincerely warranted, we also realize that love is much more than a piece of cardboard which spits out a song when opened, or a multi-colored, hard candy in a shape of heart, which shares a cheesy slogan along with being hard on the teeth.

Love is sacrifice. Love is truth. Love is action. Love is presence.

Even in this sometimes hard, apathetic and self-centered world, we are still touched by a self-less love

FAITH IN THE COMMUNITY Pastor Brad Hales

that is not bent on just receiving, but giving. I was blessed to encounter this in my very own family. In 1965, my maternal grandparents were suddenly killed, as their car was picked up, and thrown into the ditch by a night time tornado. My two aunts, aged 10 and 14 were also in the automobile as they sustained serious, and long healing injuries.

After this horrific event my mother became her sister’s guardian, and when my parents were married a year later, all the parties began to live together under the same roof. Along with all this I was added to the mix many months later. Through the years I came to understand that this was not an easy scenario. There was grief, little money and limited room. But that didn’t matter, because it was about sacrifice and love.

So how is it possible for us humans, even imperfectly, to share this sacrificial love with another? Because this love comes directly from God, and his Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

A love that will never let us go. In the New Testament Book of I John 4:7 it is written, “Beloved, let us love

one another, for love is from God. And whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.” Clearly, love only exists from God, and this love is provided to us to share. So how do we know that God is serious about this sacrificial love or not? Is it just words or are their actions behind it? In I John 3:18 it says, “Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and truth.”

These days we are so inundated with words, aren’t we? Whether it’s the Internet, cable television or even a phone solicitation, how do we know if the things being said are true, or “fake news?”

Not long ago I received a phone call from an organization that wanted me to donate to their cause. They wanted me to make a verbal pledge over the phone. When I said that I wanted to see some information first, they balked. So, I refused. Some words seem hollow, but not the Word of the living God. In John 3:16 Christ himself says, “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but

have eternal life.”

In these true words we see that God is providing us with his sacrificial and eternal love in Jesus. The greatest love ever known to humanity. A love that will never let us go.

As we come upon the recognition of Valentines, the worldwide day of love where the names of Hallmark, Russell Stovers and Cupid take center stage, let us realize that love is far more than just words and simplistic platitudes.

The foundation of all love itself is God. And God showed us this sacrificial love by sending Jesus Christ to be our Savior. As we are reminded by the Apostle Paul in I Corinthians 13:13, “So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”

Brad Hales is the pastor of Reformation Lutheran Church, Culpeper, Virginia.

As an ordained minister of the North American Lutheran Church for over 23 years, Hales is also an appointed member of the Culpeper Human Services Board. He is married with two children. Hales can be contacted at pastorhales@hotmail.com.

If your team is not going to the Super Bowl (again), join the club. Now you are free to focus on what really matters – the snack food. More than a football competition, or possibly the best television ads (certainly the most expensive), The Super Bowl is a chance to eat.

Not just eat, but a chance for an unabashed deep dive into the snack foods that make America great. Yes, you know it – cheese!

Indeed all across this great nation cheese will be the centerpiece long before the national anthem comes up on your television screens.

You know it in your heart – just see the tables set now with Queso dip, Nachos, Pizza, Hot wings with blue cheese (try wings with Parmesan Reggiano, garlic, chili flakes and parsley). Sliders, be they bison, beef, turkey or tofu with…cheese. Chili with cheese and of course for “ol D.C.” - chili dogs with cheese. Then there are quesadillas or, heck, even a simple cheese plate. Indeed, cheese is at the heart of this national event.

So here’s a quick primer for game day cheeses.

Nobody wants too fancy, so skip the Langres or Fiore de Arancia. This is about simple, easy and approachable. To that end, cheddars (real ones) are

the winners. Select at least two contrasting types of cheddar. If you are up for it, start with a goat’s milk cheddar (Goat is good) and a Wisconsin seven-year aged cow’s milk. Like the rival teams contrasting colors on the screen, chunk up the cheese and mix them in a pile. In your mind they may look like the players in a fumble recovery.

Like Brie? Try a Camembert instead. It comes in a neat wooden box that’s easy to work with. For starters, open the box and set the base wooden piece inside the top, creating a double bottom. Then extract the cheese, unwrap and toss the plastic wrap.

Next, using a sandwich or bread knife, laterally cut off the top layer of the cheese (the bright white down to 1/8”) to reveal the creamy goodness inside. Place the cheese back in the double box (cut open side up) and serve like a dip, instead of wedges. Yes, the rind is edible.

If you want to dress it up, add pepper jelly or chutney to the open cheese.

Circling back to Chevre (the fluffy white goat cheese) is another easy option. Simply take a tube of the lemony tangy goodness out of the container and treat it like mashed potatoes to shape it into a football like oval using the back end of a fork. Fill the resulting valleys with streams of pesto in the chevre. Finish it off by adding some prosciutto (or Calhoun’s ham) tucked in the side and serve with mini toasts or crostini. Easy.

Lastly, as this is a championship, there should be some golden “bling” on the table. Choose an aged, but not too much, Gouda like Parrano or Old Amsterdam with some light golden hues. Select a wedge (½ pound or more) remembering to let it sit out 20 minutes or so before you cut it. Slicing slowly with a chef’s knife it can easily be made into golden triangles. Triangles that can be shaped to look like victory cups when you arrange it on a plate.

No matter what, enjoy the Super Bowl snacks and the unabashed opportunity to yell at the television.

Feel free to alternate the team you root for. After all, if your team is not on the field it’s really just a National cheese party anyway. That’s something we can all root for.

HEALTH

Common issues surrounding the rotator cuff

The rotator-cuff tendons occupy a snug area confined above by a part of the shoulder blade known as the acromion (Fig. 13). This space, like many others in our bodies, contains a thin, filmy two-layered sac called a bursa. The rotator cuff moves more smoothly through its space beneath the acromion because of this subacromial (sub-ah-CHROME-eeall), meaning “under the acromion,” bursa. The effect is the similar to wearing two pairs of thin socks inside ski boots: The two socks glide on one another, decreasing friction and allowing less skin irritation. This subacromial bursa (Fig. 13) is one on the largest in the body, smaller only than a bursa in the hip and over the kneecap. “-itis” means “inflammation of.” Hence, inflammation of a bursa is considered “bursitis.”

As a rule, this marvelous rotator cuff works very well, allowing lifting,

DR. TOM NEVIASER

THEM BONES AND JOINTS

throwing, catching, pushing, and pulling, but like any body part, it can wear out. The first change is usually an undetectable decrease in blood supply, possibly caused by the repetition of minimal, unnoticed injuries, a specific noticeable injury or a natural occurrence. Quarterbacks and baseball pitchers are often diagnosed with shoulder problems involving rotator cuff injuries. In those cases, the cause is probably repetitive throwing motions. Yet, far more folks with rotator-cuff problems are not athletes and have never consistently thrown a ball. So why are they the ones with the most rotator-cuff symptoms?

The trouble starts close to the tendons’ attachment to bone onto the humerus at the greater tuberosity. For some reason, this area has few or no blood vessels even at birth. Codman, who discovered this condition, called it the “critical area,” as he believed it was the likely site for future tendon troubles, calcification, swelling and partial tears of these tendons. Most parts of the body need a blood supply to function, and if the blood supply is reduced or interrupted, the body almost always reacts by sending

“fix-it” cells and fluid, plasma, to the area in question. When you burn yourself, redness, swelling, and a fluidfilled blister may occur. Something similar happens to any tendon that, suddenly or over time, loses its blood supply. Like the burned tissue, the tendon reacts with redness caused by increased blood cells and swelling as a result of an invasion of these fix-it cells, a condition we call acute tendinitis (acute meaning it comes on suddenly).

In other areas of the body, an inflammatory reaction—an “-itis”— may be only a nuisance, causing little or no discomfort. But many inflammatory shoulder problems cause enough discomfort that folks seek a doctor’s help. Many of these conditions come about because the blood supply to the affected area has lessened or been eliminated altogether. We have no scientific answers for why this happens, so we say the loss or reduction of blood supply is idiopathic, meaning “of unknown cause.” Some doctors believe this failure comes on naturally, while others blame it on overuse or repeated minor injury. Most of the time, we don’t know why.

But let’s get back to the rotator cuff. If it swells only a little in its snug space, everyday activities such as overhead motions, lifting, pushing, pulling, and throwing may cause only discomfort over the deltoid muscle, the shoulder’s usual site for referred pain. Just as the burned area in soft tissue soon begins to heal, the affected tendon also starts to mend. The body’s circulation carries the fluid and fix-it cells away, and the tendon returns to normal with a re-established blood supply.

However, in the so-called “critical area,” with its inherent poor or absent blood supply, healing may take longer or not occur at all. Any persistent accumulation of fluid may eventually result in scar tissue, leaving a thickened tendon, a longer-term condition sometimes called chronic tendinitis.

The correct name for this condition is really chronic tendinosis, since there is really no evidence of inflammation in this state, the fix-it cells being absent. Chronic means “permanent or long-lasting,” in contrast with acute.

Next month, I will continue to explain how rotator cuffs “tear.” Hint: a normal rotator cuff doesn’t tear!
