H E A LT H What’s love got to do with it?

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines love as “a quality or feeling of strong or constant affection for and dedication to another.” Valentine’s Day is often associated with the romantic kind of love, but platonic and familial love – even love for your pets – can be celebrated just as well. No matter what type of love you are expressing, it yields the same health benefits.

That’s right – besides making us feel all warm and fuzzy, love plays a positive role in our mental and physical health.

Karyn O’Brien, Psy.D., clinical psychologist senior director of behavioral health services at Novant Health UVA Health System, explains the power of love as an emotion and how it can lead to better health.

Brain Chemistry “The feeling of love and the sense of connection, belonging and attachment that comes with it triggers our brains to release oxytocin and dopamine, which

are the chemicals that make us love love,” says Dr. O’Brien. “The release of dopamine leads to a euphoric feeling and makes our brains focus on where that happiness came from. Oxytocin affects our thinking and behavior, makes us feel attached to the source of happiness.”

These hormones can also overpower stress hormones, improve your mood and even lead to lower blood pressure, among other benefits.

Love and happiness go hand in hand.

When we experience feelings of love, dopamine and oxytocin are realeased, but so is the stress hormone, cortisol.

“Falling in love essentially makes our bodies feel a rush of euphoria mixed with anxiety - two very different emotions - which explains why people sometimes act excitedly or eagerly in the early stages of a relationship – be it a new friendship or romantic interest,” says Dr. O’Brien.

Fortunately, studies show that as

love matures dopamine and oxytocin levels tend to stay elevated while cortisol levels even out. This means that those feelings of euphoria associated with love last longer than any feelings of anxiety or stress associated with new relationships, leading to higher levels of happiness in the long run.

Love affects us physically, too.

Best Service Ever.

Golf assessment and conditioning program

Ariana Yactayo (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.)

We recently held our second Teen Talks, where various anecdotes based on stereotypes were discussed. All of us have faced some sort of stereotype in our lifetime. “Blondes are dumb,” “Asians are all great at Math,” “Guys in theatre are gay,” “People with glasses are nerds,” “Men are stronger and more capable than women,” the list goes on.

I have encountered them many times: I’m small so I am weak, I’m not strong enough, I am not smart or ready to think of my future, etc. These are assumptions that people have of me, yet as a girl with a spinal fusion and a survivor I do not let those things define me. I have seen friends and family members struggle with what people think or say of them, and affected by the harshness of society: family members of mine have been bullied for being “different”, one to the point of wanting to disappear, people are being harassed in the workplace, children mistreated by those in the position to protect them, families are losing loved ones to drug overdoses caused by peer pressure. This must change. Being here as a member of Culpeper Youth, and as an aspiring member of the Youth Advisory Council, gives me a platform to discuss these topics freely and use my voice and knowledge of ongoing local issues to help others and prevent future tragedies and problems for the youth, and other generations.

Get golf ready in this two-part program with Culpeper Medical Center Physical Therapy and Powell Wellness Center.

A 30-minute assessment with physical therapist Brandon Lum, certified by the Titleist Performance Institute, identifies any game-limiting physical conditions. Three follow-up sessions with PWC personal trainer Larry Horner provide corrective exercises to improve flexibility, strength and balance. Assessment dates: Feb. 18, 9-11 a.m.; Feb. 19, 4-6 p.m. and March 4, 1-5 p.m. Fee: $215/individual or $135 per person with a tandem booking includes the assessment and three personal training sessions.

To register, please contact PWC fitness manager Patrice Barklund at 540-445-5395 or pbarklund@ culpeperwellness.org

LOCAL NEWS Night to Shine celebrates special needs residents

By Amy Wagner Contributing writer It was prom night at Open Door Baptist Church and Edgar Poole, all suited up, was one of the first guests to walk the red carpet into the prom room on Friday evening.

“I love the place and the music,” said Poole who was attending for the second year. Ricky Forrest was running in soon after giving everyone high fives and thumbs up while boasting a huge smile on his face.

Night to Shine, sponsored by

the Tim Tebow Foundation, was hosted at the church for the third year and over 125 guests attended; many by limousine. Held in all 50 states and across the globe, Night to Shine is in its fifth year and the Foundation was expecting over 700 churches to come together this year to celebrate guests, ages 14 and older, with special needs.

There was plenty of food including chicken donated by Chick-fil-A, cupcakes donated by Candy Dudley and cake pops donated by Brittany Bache. Stars reflected on the dance floor and a photo booth sat

Fresh out of beauty department and ready to dance night away are good friends Brianna Shilling (left) and Camille Goodall (right). off to the side for guests to get additional photo opportunities.

“The dancing never stops,” said Michele Hitt, organizer of the night, who moved quickly from room to room ensuring everything was in place and running seamlessly.

Monica Huseby, of Prophetic Beauty, and several volunteers, provided hair and makeup needs for guests before they walked the red carpet.

Camille Goodall, from Warrenton, was attending Night to Shine for her third year. She stopped in to get her makeup and hair touched up before dancing the night away. Goodall sat beside her

good friend Brianna Shilling who was attending for her first time.

“This is awesome,” said Shilling.

“I love it. The pampering makes me feel special.”

Looking on was Goodall’s mother, Frederique Vincent, and Shilling’s mother who are also friends.

Looking at her legs Vincent giggled saying, “I was wearing black leggings and I happened to wear the same thing as my friend. I’m French and she’s Swiss. And our girls just happened to have similar dresses as well.”

“Whether it be the hairdresser, the carpenter turned dance floor builder, the videographer, the caterer, or the volunteer that stayed in the registration room all night comforting the guest that couldn't quite take the lights and music; they are all important pieces of making the night magical. These volunteers show up thinking they are doing a good thing by providing a service but go home with so much more than they came with.

They have an opportunity to hear God's word but, more importantly, they are thrust into doing God's work.

"I even think it could be argued that the attendees there do more of a service for the volunteers than vice versa. Lessons are learned that night. Examples of acceptance, and love, and joy are all around and you can't stop it from putting a smile on your face.”

Kelly Robson, President of Shooting Stars, attended the event Friday evening and described its importance.

“Of course, it's awesome because the guests enjoy it. It's simply joyous to see (most of) them so happy.

However, it's so much more than that. Yes, the guests are there, and they listen to a message from the pastor during the event. But from what I've seen, the people that volunteer and offer their services are the ones that really gain the most from this experience. It is a unique situation in that so many people with gifts that they may not see as extraordinary are suddenly so very important.”

Refining her business

By Jeff Say Culpeper Times Staff Writer Joy Orr has refined her business.

Originally the owner of Bride and Joy in downtown Culpeper, Orr has recently rebranded her business to The Refinery at 120 - an event venue located at 120 West Culpeper Street in the town of Culpeper.

Featuring more than 6,000 square feet on two floors for events, Orr has gone from renting wedding decor to offering a space for weddings, events and fundraisers.

“I knew eventually I didn’t want to do to the rental side of things,” Orr said. “Having a venue and actually running events was what I actually wanted to do. So I had to separate the two because it just doesn’t work to have them together.”

She sold the Bride and Joy name, and that business will relocated to East Culpeper Street.

She will stay at The Refinery, which she moved into almost two years ago orig-

inally as a warehouse to store and display her rentals. What she found is that people wanted to rent the space - which sparked her interest into hosting weddings and parties.

While it was difficult to part with the rental side that she started three years ago - “It’s like getting rid of your baby,” Orr said - it was a natural progression for the 2008 Hebron School graduate and Culpeper County native.

“It’s different in the sense that there’s more work, but less work, if that makes any sense,” Orr said with a laugh. “There’s less prep work ahead of time, but more work for the actual events.”

Currently, the site is zoned for 49 people but she said they are in the process of being rezoned for around a 120-person occupancy.

She said that she felt there was a need in the town of Culpeper for a smaller venue space.

“It’s felt like for a long time that the small event spaces you have to use the caterers or ➤ See Refinery, Page 7

➤ Health, from Page 6 our ratios of stress hormones decrease. Over time, the body can naturally react to that feeling of “calmness” with a noticeable drop in blood pressure.

A study reported by the Journal of Psychology and Aging showed people who had romantic relationships or even close friendships had as much as a 14.4-point difference in blood pressure compared to their less social peers.

There are other ways that love can help improve our physical health, too. The American Psychological Association notes that a decrease in stress can also enhance the body’s ability to fight infection and recover more quickly from ailments.

Love may also indirectly lead to longer lifespans. Married couples, who have a partner to hold them accountable for healthy lifestyles and wellness practices, often live longer than those who are not married.

Valentine’s Day is a great excuse to celebrate love in all of its forms, but that celebration should not be limited to just one day.

Love isn’t just a fun feeling, it has actual health benefits that affect our mental and physical health.

➤ Refinery, from Page 6 you have to use the restaurants food or the alcohol,” Orr said. “Some people just want to do a small party or have an anniversary and they don’t want to spend all the money. This can save them some money because they can bring in their own catering and their own alcohol.”

For weddings, Orr rents the space for $3,500 for a whole day - which includes a coordinator. Guests must provide their own caterer and alcohol, though she has a list of businesses she is willing to refer.

“I love to refer people,” Orr said. “We have a group of caterers that I love to work with and if someone asks I’ll refer them.”

She also hosts smaller parties during the weekday, and she’s filled three to four days a week already. That was another need she noticed in the community.

“There was no common meeting place that was just a meeting place that was unstyled and undecorated,” Orr said. “The idea is they can come in and have their party with what we already have in here.

They can still add to it if they wanted to.”

The industrial-styled space includes tables, chairs and a few set pieces, but is minimally decorated so others may add their touch if they so desire.

Last weekend, she hosted a wedding fair at the venue that attracted 175 people.

“It was two realtors who approached me about having it and at first I was (hesitant) because Culpeper can be tough to get people to come out for stuff,” Orr said.

“We really buckled down and pushed it on Facebook. For Culpeper for bridal stuff is almost unheard of.”

While still fairly new, Orr said that getting the word out about The Refinery at 120 has been one of the more difficult aspects.

“That’s the number one thing I hear from people is that ‘I didn’t know you were here,’” Orr said. “It’s hard to let people know because you have to spend thousands of dollars on Google or Facebook to do ads for you. It’s really just about word of mouth.”

She said that part of the challenge is changing the very traditional style of weddings - in a church, with a reception in a hall - to something more modern.

However, she said, many brides are sharing ideas on Pinterest which she hopes drives people to The Refinery.

“That way you can have a nice space and not spend what you’d spend on a new car to get it,” Orr said.

She also has a special rate for nonprofits of $200 per hour and is excited about hosting SAFE during the Mardi Gras celebration hosted by CRI on March 5.

R E A L E S TAT E Greater Piedmont real estate declines six percent from 2017 ➤ Home prices continued to climb year-over-year, for the seventh consecutive year Contributed report After three years of consistent growth, the Greater Piedmont Region housing market slowed in 2018. Sales activity fell three out of four quarters during the year compared to 2017, evidence of cooling housing demand.

The market indicators in the Greater Piedmont region reflect more broadly national housing market trends which have shown softening demand, slower price gains, and an uptick in inventories. While sales declined, homes continue to sell faster in the region compared to last

year, and price points remain on an upward trajectory. Summary highlights from the market data include: There were 126 fewer sales in the Greater Piedmont Region in 2018 than in 2017 which represents a 6.1% decline.

This is the first annual drop in sales since 2014 when sales declined 6.0%. Quarterly sales in the region also declined relative to last year, falling 20.6%, the sharpest decline since the 1st quarter of 2014.

For the 7th consecutive year, home prices continue to climb in the region. The median sales price in the Greater Piedmont Region was 3.7% higher in 2018 compared to 2017. Home prices rose every quarter, though the rate of growth has flattened.

The annual sold dollar volume declined 4.3% in 2018 com-

pared to the previous year. Despite steady increases in sales prices, the drop in the number of sales pulled down the dollar volume for the year. This is the first annual decline in this metric since 2011.

After several years of shrinking inventory there was an 8.7% increase in the number of active listings in the region at the end of the 4th quarter of 2018. Culpeper County had the sharpest increase in active listings jumping 26.7%% from this time a year ago.

Homes continue to sell faster throughout the Greater Piedmont Region, a reflection of the limited number of listing options available to buyers. The average days on market in the region was 82 in 2018, 13 days faster than 2017.

Sales: For the first time since

2014, annual sales declined in the Greater Piedmont Region.

There were 1,955 sales in 2018, 126 fewer than 2017, a 6.1% drop. Quarterly sales also fell relative to last year in the region, dropping 20.6% in the 4th quarter of 2018 to 363 sales, a reduction of 94 sales. This is the third consecutive quarter of declining sales for the region, which reflects softening demand in the market. Three of the four Counties in the Greater Piedmont region had fewer sales in the 4th quarter compared to last year.

Culpeper County: There were 680 sales in Culpeper County in 2018, 56 fewer than 2017, a decline of 7.6%. There was also a reduction in quarterly sales in the County. There ➤ See Homes, Page 11

Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department announces fair will return Aug. 7-10 Contributed report After a two-year absence, the Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department Annual Fair and Parade will return to Brandy Station in 2019.

The fire department membership recently chose to once again have this annual fundraising event and finalized a contract with a midway provider.

The 2019 Fair will be held Au. 7 – 10.

The annual Parade will be on Thursday evening Aug. 8.

With schools reopening in Culpeper County on Aug. 12, our fair would be an excellent opportunity to enjoy some family fun just before the kids return!

The Fire Department has signed a contract with RC Cole Shows Amusements from Covington, Virginia to provide the midway. Cole Shows Amusement Company has been supplying magnificent amusement ride midways to Fairs, Festivals and Corporate Events across Virginia for over 25 years. They most recently appeared in Vienna, Virginia at the Viva Vienna Festival, the Fauquier County Fair in Warrenton, Virginia, the Shenandoah County Fair in Woodstock,

Virginia, in Orange, Virginia at the Orange Volunteer Fire Company Fair, and the Arlington County Fair in Arlington, Virginia. We are extremely thrilled to have this fine show provide its amusements for our event this summer.

The Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department was founded and chartered in 1951.

The Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department Auxiliary sponsored the first carnival in August 1951, later turning that responsibility over to the firemen in August of 1955.

The Fire Department has received numerous requests over the last two years to resume this traditional event.

The fair can take you down memory lane. It is a nostalgic event for “older” folks and younger ones alike. The fair is a means to cement relationships with friends and neighbors who are kept apart by busy schedules throughout the year.

More details about the Brandy Station Volunteer Fire Department Fair will be coming soon. Please watch our web site www.bsvfd.com/ about-us or visit us on Facebook at www.facebook.com/BSVFD and mark your calendars now for August 7-10.

HISTORY Genealogy: A walk down ancestry lane Part One ZANN’S PLACE

Genealogy, the science of searching for one’s family roots, is said to be the fastest growing hobby in the country. And for my money, it is a good thing and not any too soon. Investigating ancestry and family histories turns up all kinds of stories, disputes, and long-lost relatives. It builds identity, connection and the capacity to create a brand-new support system.

The interest in our personal heritage is not a new thing by any means. For centuries families have been passing along stories of who our ancestors were and tales about their lives. This was the stuff of front porch evenings and often part of the process of passing on skills from one generation to the next. It was

Zann Nelson

important to have grandmother and granddaddy or Uncle Cletus and Aunt Sarah Belle living under the same roof or at least just down the street.

Letters, diaries and Bibles are excellent sources of information. For centuries the written word was the most common form of communication.

Illiteracy was not the obstacle one might imagine, as those that could not write would often find someone to do it for them. The most important events of births, deaths and marriages were recorded in the family bible.

Historians have grave concerns for the future of personal records. The written word has become a rarity in the average household. Why bother writing to a friend or family member when you can pick up the cell phone and send a text? It certainly is quick and easy but leaves little record for future generations and rarely affords the opportunity for detail!

Ironically, it is that same sort of technological advances more

specifically on the Internet that have been the impetus for more extensive research. Data that previously could only be accessed through tedious and time consuming on-site manual research is now available online.

Relatives can discover one another through chat rooms and family history sites.

And let’s not forget all the acronym groups that foster the search and recordation of ancestry tied to some significant occurrence; the National Society of the Colonial Dames of America, Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), Sons of

the Confederacy (SOC), Daughters of Union Veterans of the Civil War (DUVCW) and Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) and the Sons and Daughters of the Middle Passage (SDMP) just to name a few.

And now there is a tsunami of new clues and paths to follow through the science of genetic testing and DNA. Beware! It is not as simple as it appears.

There is a plethora of resources for a genealogical exploration but be prepared to get tired and frustrated and you may also find it necessary to seek a bit of help.

To be continued….

Until next week, be well.

FILM • “Music and Lyrics”(Warner Bros., 2007)

Hugh Grant stars in this romantic comedy as Alex Fletcher, a washed-up eighties pop star who was part of the fictional band PoP!, (inspired by Wham! and Duran Duran). He gets a chance to make a comeback when a reigning pop diva (Haley Bennett) asks him to write a song for her. Stuck on the song’s lyrics, he finds assistance from Sophie (Drew Barrymore), a house plant technician he has just met, and the two find they are in sync in more ways than just music.

The film features Grant performing “PoP! Goes My Heart” in a hilarious parody of 1980s-MTV style videos. Film critics remarked on the “surprisingly easy chemistry between Grant and Barrymore”(Jack Matthews, New York Daily News) and “undeniable adorability factor of each of the performers” (Stephen Hunter, Washington Post).

More recently, Washington Post film critic Ann Hornaday called “Music and Lyrics” a “scandalously overlooked rom-com” in her write-up for the year 2007 in the Post’s article “The best year in movie history was”(Dec. 30, 2018).

FIM • “Love Me Tonight”

(Paramount, 1932) According to director Rouben Mamoulian, Paramount executive Adolph Zukor hurried "Love Me Tonight" into production to keep two of his more expensive contract players, Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald, from sitting idle.

If Mamoulian rushed, it doesn't show in what film historians consider one of the best and most original of 1930s musicals. By pre-recording the entire score, Mamoulian, who was influenced by the work of Ernst Lubitsch and Rene Clair, combined sound and image with more fluidity than most early musicals achieved. Songs by Rodgers and Hart – including "Isn't It Romantic" and "Mimi"– and an effervescent script filled with risqué innuendo are brought to life by Chevalier's saucy charm and MacDonald's angelic voice and beauty.

Added to the National Film Registry in 1990, the film features an outstanding supporting cast including Myrna Loy, Charles Ruggles, Charles Butterworth and C. Aubrey Smith. 35mm archival film print. 95 min. Free, at the Library of Congress Packard Campus Theater located at 19053 Mt. Pony Rd. in Culpeper, VA. No reservations taken.

Culpeper Times • February 14-20, 2019

VIEWS They shall not grow old Squads of British soldiers file past a camera as they march up Marshall Conner a muddy road. A seemingly endless line of soldiers becomes lighter and lighter until they fade like ghosts into a mist.

Until recently these soldiers have remained relegated to the mists of time.

Within the ranks are young men, many are just teens, a few older ones have stripes on their sleeves.

As they move towards the camera lens there are smiles, some shyly gaze downward, and a few appear to be the type of characters that lift desperate souls in the worst of times. I’m sure they are cracking jokes we cannot hear just like all soldiers do. They march out of the past, alive again for a moment from a past where youth was violently stolen by interlocking machine gun fire, mustard gas, relentless artillery, disease and the bayonet.

They are the men we read about in history books---men made distant and rendered still by black-white photos.

Then suddenly a wave of color and clarity washes over the ribbons of a long-lost dream. Each face becomes clear, each nervous smile as real as the ones we see today. Then there are voices and puffs of smoke from cigarettes.

Last Saturday, I watched a screening

THE MARSHALL PLAN

of the groundbreaking film “They Shall Not Grow Old” directed and produced

by Peter Jackson. The film uses stateof-the-art technology to transform audio and moving image archive footage from the BBC and Imperial War Museum’s archives that are a century old.

According to Jackson’s own description, the film strives to “Bring to life the people who can best tell the story of World War I, the men who were there. Driven by a personal interest in the conflict, I set out to explore the day-to-day experience of its combatants.

Immersed for months in the BBC and Imperial War Museum archives, I created narratives and strategies regarding how this story should be told.

Using only the voices of those involved, the film explores the reality of war on the front line. Their attitudes about the war, how they ate, rested and formed friendships in those moments between battles, as well as their hopes and dreams for the future.”

Jackson’s masterful film restoration literally enables these soldiers of the past to come alive on film.

At the screening I was joined by my 16-year-old son. I mention him mainly because his age is closer to the soldiers ages in the film. Sure, I was once an 18-year-old soldier, but that was in the 1980s. The men in the film resemble him more than me now.

We both thought the film was outstanding, especially the 30-minute behind the scenes feature at the end of the film. One of the elements that made the film work for me was hearing

Show a little love…

It is February after all. And, while Valentine’s Day gets a lot of attention, it’s another holiday that I encourage you to celebrate…

Random Acts of Kindness Day on February 17th.

Beyond a thoughtful gesture that will make someone else’s day a little better, carrying out acts of kindness is good for your health. Many studies have shown that there are actually emotional and physical benefits to being kind to others.

HEALTH AND WELLNESS Shari Landry

A study done at UC Berkeley, found that almost half the participants felt stronger and had more energy after helping others. There were also reports of feeling calmer and more confident.

That makes sense because kindness produces serotonin. Serotonin is a hormone and neurotransmitter that increases happiness, is calming and heals wounds. It sometimes referred to as “the happy hormone.”

Other studies indicate that being kind can boost our immune system, lower blood pressure, slow aging and lengthen our lives. Regularly practicing acts of kindness is believed to reduce cortisol which is “the stress hormone” and, when high, can cause all sorts of negative health consequences

the actual voices of veterans speak throughout the film. It let the humanity of the soldiers speak for themselves and avoided any didactic lecture from the present--- like modern filmmakers tend do. The faces of the young soldiers many about the age of my son made the viewer ponder the tragedy of young men dying in war.

The war and the soldiers speak for themselves.

After watching the film, I discussed the amazing process of rejuvenating old film reels with my historian and photographer friends.

Personally, the process of finding the correct film speeds and fixing the dark or over-exposed films was riveting.

My brother Owen, a life-long baseball fan and uniforms curator at the National Museum of the Marine Corps, commented on the possibilities of using these techniques to bring old baseball films alive. He also spoke about how historical accuracy is obtained from film footage at work.

“If you watch the History Channel’s WW2 In Color HD series you really see capabilities in late war color footage like on Iwo Jima and Okinawa,” he added.

“Running film through computers to high def scrub them is a thing they didn’t talk too much about in the Jackson film, but it was important.

Just not as groundbreaking as his understanding of film speeds. When we watch HD WW2 footage as museum historians we are continually seeing and spotting things we never saw before — the way uniforms were worn, markings,

types of equipment and other details.

And that’s just stuff from 1940s!”

At an early age I was fascinated by the First World War or the Great War (1914-1918) as it is often called. Last year marked the 100th anniversary of its conclusion. It was a global war where millions of soldiers and civilians were killed.

The poets of World War I resonated with me as teenager at Fishburne Military School. I was urged to read Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon

by Colonel Edward B. Young, a favorite English teacher and veteran of World War II. My grandfather, a World War II Navy Captain who proudly wore the Military Order of the British Empire on his chest, often read Rupert Brooke’s poems to me.

Jackson’s film is like Wilfred Owen’s poem “Dulce et Decorum Est" brought of life. The faces of soldiers eager to fight for King and Country—are transformed through war.

The footage of the Scottish soldiers charging over the top of trenches in muddy kilts accompanied by the sound of highland bagpipes was especially close to the heart. When I visited my ancestral homeland in Scotland years ago, I was drawn to the many memorials that memorialized fallen sons and fathers in the Great War. Nearly every town in the United Kingdom paid a terrible price.

The accents, the sounds and the moving images serve as a true time capsule. We all owe Mr. Jackson a salute for this documentary.

including weight gain, mood changes, tiredness and more.

Do you need further convincing?

If so, this should do it. When others witness your acts of kindness, it can help lower their blood pressure and improve their heart health. That’s because watching kindness happen produces oxytocin, “the love hormone,” and oxytocin stimulates the release of nitric acid which expands the blood vessels which, in turn, reduces blood pressure. And people who see kindness happen are more likely to do something nice for others. They pay it forward.

Just think - your single act of kindness could start a whole wave of kind acts in Culpeper.

So, where to start? How about starting with a smile? Beyond brightening someone else’s day, smiling releases endorphins which can improve

your mood and make you more relaxed.

And, it’s contagious.

Other ideas include: • Give an unexpected and sincere compliment.

• Return a shopping cart at the grocery store.

• Write an email or note to someone who has made a difference in your life.

• Give the drive-thru worker at your favorite fast food place a small tip.

• Thank a police officer, fire fighter or other first-responder for keeping us safe.

• Tell a young parent that they are doing a good job.

• Go out of your way to tell a child why they are special.

• Pick up litter Don’t forget…February 17th is Random Acts of Kindness Day but why wait. Start today and make it a habit!

Know your state and your vote’s weight: The Virginia General Assembly VOTER'S GUIDE

(Editor's note: This is the first in a monthly column helping educate voters on the government entities they vote for in November.)

This November, many Virginians will take to the polls to decide the fate of several candidates for local and state office. These members of the Virginia general assembly, boards of supervisors, town councils, school boards, sherriffs, and other elected officials impact the laws, policies, and codes by which Virginians live every day. This begs the question, how much do citizens of the Commonwealth know about these offices and what they do? In Know Your State and Your Vote’s Weight, readers can learn a bit each month about how government works on a state and local level, what impacts voting has, and important voting information.

The Commonwealth’s government, like the United States government, has three branches. The governor’s decision-making role is similar to the president, albeit on a smaller scale. The lawmaking branch that resembles congress is called the general assembly. Virginia also has its own supreme court, which is the

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Thank you from the Culpeper Toy Chest As the President of The Culpeper Toy Chest, I would like to acknowledge the following individuals and businesses that made the 2018 campaign a meaningful success.

First, the grand news…2,880 toys were collected in Culpeper and distributed in Culpeper County through the Culpeper Toy Chest program. Distributed locally through the Culpeper Community Christmas Basket, S.A.F.E. (Services to Abused Families) and Culpeper Housing and Shelter Services, all staying here in Culpeper County, as we have promised for two decades.

Local business owners Michael and Jessica Duff of Crossfit Culpeper held a fundraising Jingle Bell Trot 5K, together with LibraryTrac and spent almost $3500 on family items and clothing to benefit the Culpeper Toy Chest. Other monetary donations were gifted from Reformation Lutheran Church, Culpeper Petroleum, Lignum Ruritan Club

court with the highest power in the state. The governor can sign bills passed by the general assembly into law, the general assembly can vote to approve or reject actions the governor wants to take, and the state supreme court can ensure that these decisions do not go against the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Virginia. This is roughly the same set of checks and balances outlined in the United States Constitution.

Just like the United States congress, the Virginia’s general assembly has two houses the state senate and the house of delegates.

Every Virginian is represented by one of 40 senators and one of 100 delegates. Since delegates’ districts are less than half the size of senators’ districts, they have a smaller amount of citizens to represent. Contacting them can be a great way to have a representative in state government advocating for community interests.

Delegates are also elected every two years, which means citizens have an opportunity to vote on those who they think will best represent their communities on a very regular basis.

Senators are elected every four years, and, this year, all 140 seats in the general assembly are up for reelection.

Virginians can find in which districts they live as well as who their current state senators and state delegates, as well as their

representatives in the United States congress, are by visiting the following website and typing in their street addresses. https://whosmy. virginiageneralassembly.gov/ This website also provides contact information and is a great tool to help Virginians be heard by their lawmakers.

The general assembly meets in Richmond, Va. for 30 days in oddnumbered years and 60 days in even-numbered years. A session can be extended if two-thirds of both the state senate and the house of delegates vote to extend it. This time period in early Jan. to mid-Feb. or Mid-March, depending on the year, is when votes on bills and any other issues requiring the general assembly’s approval take place. Sometimes, special sessions can be called if there is a need.

These specific periods are when the general assembly does all of its voting.

Anything not addressed in a session must wait until the next session. Next month’s column will cover the life of a bill and how it passes or dies in the general assembly.

Estate Law Notes . . . Grab and Know There are CliffNotes – capturing the highlights of novels Katherine Charapich (often used in preparation for book reports or oral arguments). There are SparkCharts – listing the elements one needs to know about subject matters (typically a tool used during preparation for matters taught within an educational system). What about a subject matter that touches everyone?

One may be reluctant by any reckoning to face the possibility of mental incapacitation, or the reality that death is a part of life’s cycle – yes, for each of us. Preparation for mental incapacitation and for graceful transitioning at the threshold of death is encouraged.

Unlike CliffNotes and SparkCharts, which are written for individuals who have a specific task in mind, the following Estate Law Notes are a “grab and know” applicable to everyone in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

Power of Attorney – An instrument used by an individual to designate another person as her attorney-in-fact in writing, providing a clear written expression of the authorities conferred.

Generally, a power of attorney addresses help with maintaining one’s quality of life, as well as financial matters. Such an instrument may be limited or broad in scope, and can be effective upon signing or upon the determination of mental incapacitation.

Who needs a power of attorney?

Every individual over eighteen years of age should have a power of attorney in place.

Advance Medical Directive – A document in which one sets forth the parameters for her medical care in the event she is determined to be incapable of making a medical decision for herself.

The same, memorializes wishes for endof-life, whether she wants life sustained by actions such as providing life support and/or hydration and nutrition. Within an advance medical directive a trusted agent is given legal authority to make medical decisions based on terms within the document.

Who needs an advance medical directive? Every individual over eighteen years of age should have an advance medical directive in place.

Last Will and Testament – An estate planning document that is effective upon death, and distributes one’s assets that pass through probate to the beneficiaries in the will. The assets may include real property (raw land or land with improvement), tangible personal property (items one can touch), and intangible personal property (cash, savings, and wealth management).

Who should have a will? Every individual over eighteen years of age should have a will in place.

ESTATE STEWARDSHIP

What are the signing requirements of a will? The individual signing the will, the Testator, must be over the age of eighteen of sound and disposing mind and memory, and under no undue influence.

The will must be signed by the Testator in front of two witnesses, who must sign the will in front of the Testator and in front of each other.

Intestate – When a person dies without having a Last Will and Testament in place, or when the terms of a Last Will and Testament fail.

The terms set forth in the Code of Virginia that state how assets shall pass in the event a decedent passes without controlling such distribution through a will. For example, all assets that pass through probate will pass to one’s spouse unless one has children outside of the marital unit. If there are children outside of the marital unit and one dies intestate, spouse takes 1/3 of the assets passing through probate, and children outside of the marital unit and within divide equal shares of 2/3rds of the assets passing through probate.

Probate – The process that administers an estate and distributes the assets within the estate that have not been controlled by joint ownership with rights of survivorship, payable on death, or beneficiary terms. Applies to estates passing through both wills and intestate.

Transfer on Death Deed – Allows for real property (raw land or land with improvement), within the Commonwealth of Virginia, to be transferred outside of probate upon one’s death. It does not take the place of one’s current deed. You can still encumber your property or sell your property. Made available in July 2013, think of this as a “deed in waiting,” allowing for the designation of primary and contingent beneficiaries. Thus, if one owns interest in the specific parcel upon one’s death, the deed will be given effect- as long as it has been recorded in the land records prior to the grantor dying.

Revocable Trust – A means of managing assets while alive, and transferring assets outside of probate upon death. Five factors for considering a revocable trust: (1) if you own real property outside of the jurisdiction of the Commonwealth of Virginia, (2) your desire for assets to be managed seamlessly during your lifetime and distributed outside of probate upon your death, (3) whether you intend to micromanage assets following your death – from the grave, (4) protection of your interests/intended distribution of assets, and (5) the private (non-public) nature of transferring assets.

Special Needs Trust – A Special Needs Trust is a trust that enables a person with disabilities to retain his or her own resources, or enables family members to provide an inheritance for the person with disabilities with the intent to keep from disqualifying the

individual from benefits that are meanstested.

Guardianship and Conservatorship – When a determination is made by a court that a person is a ward of the Commonwealth, and is not able to interpret her environment and is placing herself in harm’s way, a guardian and a conservator may be appointed. A guardian is a person appointed by the court who is responsible for the personal affairs of an incapacitated person – her quality of life, including responsibility for making decisions regarding the person's support, care,

health, and safety. A conservator is a person appointed to control, protect, and use for the benefit of the incapacitated individual, her assets.

Seek Legal Counsel – The above are merely summaries of estate planning terminology, and are not intended to be comprehensive, nor provide legal advice. Seeking counsel from an estate planning or elder law attorney is encouraged when one has a matter involving any of the above topics.

“Pretty, Witty Nell” gets a makeover Have pity on historians. Be kind to biographers.

If you expect to be outlived by fame, keep a diary. Primary source material is pure gold to those who want to know “what really happened.” When they can’t find that out, they resort to the time-honored occupation of desperate chroniclers everywhere: they make stuff up.

On a positive note, the stuff they make up could be very entertaining.

Jessica Swale’s play, “Nell Gwynn”, commissioned by Shakespeare’s Globe in London to bring historically important women to the foreground, is such a piece. Enthusiastically received, it won the 2016 Olivier Award for Best New Comedy.

One of the first women to appear on the Restoration stage, Nell is still delighting audiences three and a half centuries later at the Folger Shakespeare Library. That is, the Nell Gwynn of history’s scrapbook, Samuel Pepys’ (pronounced ‘peeps’ for my friends) private remarks, and

Call: (202) 544-7077 or visit www.folger.edu/ theatre Playing through March 10 Ms. Swale’s fertile and sympathetic imagination. This two and a half hour romp honors the Nell of legend while allowing her the occasional modern woman’s view of her seventeenth century world.

In an age when women born in London’s poorest sections were expected to die there, Nell was an anomaly.

Fortunately for her, she came of age when Charles II was invited back to rule England after its greatest party pooper, Oliver Cromwell, had died. Charles put on his most spectacular wig and buckled shoes, invited multiple mistresses into his bower, and not only opened the theatres again, but allowed women to perform on their stages. Enter Nell.

Robert Richmond directs and keeps the pace humming between comedy and drama, romance and court intrigue.

Alison Luff plays the irrepressible Nell with the personal charm, forthright character, and gift for badinage that made her the toast of Drury Lane in

COURTESY PHOTO

“Nell Gwynn” plays at Folger Shakespeare Library through March 10. the 1660s as well as one of the king’s favorites.

There seems, however, a contradiction between the genuine Nell, purportedly raised in a brothel, who could call to an irate crowd, “Peace, good people! I am the Protestant whore!” (as opposed to the Catholic one) and this Nell who bridles with offended modesty when the king visits her dressing room.

Nor could I quite believe that Nell Gwynn, the brash and ambitious realist, would have to be repeatedly urged onto the stage in deference to an imagined

lack of confidence.

Nevertheless, important points and characters are in place. The handsome Charles Hart (Quinn Franzen) who really was Nell’s lover (among others) urges her into the theatre and is eventually forced to recognize her unique audience drawing power. The Restoration playwright, John Dryden, though not as revered now as he was then, gets an entertaining incarnation through Michael Glenn as he struggles day after day to come up with ➤ See Curtain Calls, Page 25

➤ Curtain Calls, from Page 24 appropriate endings and write plays stolen from Shakespeare.

What a shock for actors when women began playing women’s roles, and for some, it was an outrage. Christopher Dinolfo brings down the house as the actor, Edward Kynaston, who rails that he alone knows best how to portray a woman, and later demonstrates “backstory” in a hilarious anticipation of Stanislavski.

Though Lady Castlemaine and Louise de Keroualle (superbly played

by Regina Aquino), make brief appearances, we would never guess that Charles II had more than a dozen mistresses and enough illegitimate children to start his own sports team.

Nell provided two of them, though they don’t figure here. Charles also had an incidental and underappreciated wife – Queen Catherine (Zoe Speas), but unable to produce a living legitimate heir, she fades into history.

King Charles II himself is imbued

by R.J. Foster with charisma and power – but not the dissolute temperament for which he was famous, or his court which Pepys reported was nothing but “bawdy from top to bottom.” The focus is on Charles and Nell as true lovers, and anything to contradict it has been winnowed out; still it makes an engaging story.

Another performer of special delight, Catherine Flye, plays both the confused

but eager to please ladies’ maid, Nancy, as well as the opportunistic Ma Gwynne.

All are dressed to their wingtips in Mariah Hale’s candy-colored silks and laces, flounces and buckles and extravagant wigs – just the look for people who have endured eleven years of Puritan control and are ready to lose fortunes at the gaming table. Tony Cisek’s scene design soars with red and gold fleur-de-lis tapestry and shifts smoothly from backstage at Drury Lane to the king’s royal halls. Staging, as so often happens at Folger, includes the central aisle of the audience and contributes a nice touch of intimacy.

Strolling musicians and original music by Kim Sherman ground the elements of the play into a lyrical sense of unity.

It hasn’t been easy for women throughout the ages to make their mark in a memorable way, and even at that, Nell Gwynn is exceptional. She is not remembered for any particular accomplishment, but for the force of her personality which affected ‘affairs’ of State. Ms. Swale’s merry play makes that much clear.

So it is safe to assume that history and literature, having been kind to this famous courtesan, will not, as Charles mandated from his death bed, “let poor Nelly starve.”

Wines to warm you up With winter’s grip continuing to hang on and snow in the forecast, it’s time to throw another log on the fire and select a wine that hugs you like your favorite blanket. You need something with substance bolder and richer in style. Sure, you can go to your old familiar friend, Cabernet Sauvignon or Zinfandel, but why not try something less predictable. As they say, variety is the spice of life and Petite Sirah brings plenty of it. Petite Sirah is one of those lush reds you can easily cozy up to on a frigid night. Not only is it delicious, it’s also a rather unique, mysterious and often misunderstood grape variety.

There’s confusion around the name, it’s sometimes assumed that Petite Sirah is just a smaller version of the Syrah grape and that’s not an entirely false assumption. The complicated history of Petite Sirah began in 1880 when Dr. Francois Durif, a French nurseryman, grew a new variety from the seed material of an old French variety called Peloursin and gave the grape his name, Durif. Although Dr. Durif didn't know it at the time, the pollen source was Syrah, and in some parts of France Durif was also referred to as Petite Sirah. This new varieties produced small berries with saturated color, dense fruit and many of the same characteristics of Syrah.

Just four years later, the Durif grape was introduced into California and some growers there also adopted the name Petite Sirah from the French. For nearly a century, it was often mixed in the vineyard with other vine types becoming what is known as a field blend.

This evolved into a murky understanding of the grapes genuine identity and it wasn’t until the 1990s, through DNA testing, that it was proven Petite Sirah is France’s Durif grape. Hey, it’s not every day that you can say you’re opening a bottle with so much intrigue.

While Petite Sirah makes a wonderful blending grape for its density and color, it’s a powerhouse on its own. Growing in tight clusters with small berries, although it’s anything but petite, the resulting wine is fairly massive in weight and texture. Due to the petite size of the berries there is a high skin to juice ratio, creating a lot of tannins and very age worthy wines. Overall, Petite Sirah is full-bodied, with inky layers of dark fruit such as blueberries, blackberries and plum; peppery notes with a hint of black licorice and fairly big acidity complete the profile. It is built to compliment those hearty dishes we crave on a snowy winter day. Try it with a braised lamb shanks, white bean cassoulet or pork carnitas. Even with all of its masculinity, it’s not limited to big, meaty dishes, pair it with eggplant parmesan or a hard aged cheeses such as gouda or gruyere. So, if you find yourself contemplating what to open next while the snow continues to fall, take a small chance on Petite Sirah that pays off big. Cheers!

USE YOUR HEAD TO COVER YOUR BUTT When you turn 50, get a colonoscopy—the only test today that can prevent colon cancer and help save your life.

One of the smartest things to do when you turn 50 is to be screened for colon cancer. A colonoscopy can detect AND remove precancerous colon polyps all in one visit.

Advanced Digestive Care in Warrenton offers: • A welcoming environment and a full staff of board-certified GI doctors and professionals who are experts in colon screenings and digestive care.

• Procedures that cost much less than those performed

Learn more at GetAColonScreen.com or call 1-844-GoGetScreen to schedule an appointment

in hospitals.

• An experience that will have you in and out, and on your way back home, in a relatively short amount of time.

• An Adenoma Detection Rate (ADR), the most widely accepted measure of quality for colonoscopies, that is well above national benchmarks—the higher the ADR, the greater the ability to identify precancerous polyps and save lives.
